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.

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.

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.

Pressure is Mounting to Designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a Terrorist Organization
n June of this year, many Americans were thrilled when word started to spread that the Trump administration was getting ready to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization… which it is. Ten months into Trump’s second term, and we are all still waiting on something that should have been a no-brainer, considering the Muslim Brotherhood is the gateway for most terrorist activities on the planet.
The White House is making this far more complicated than it should be. They are still looking for ways to brand the Brotherhood as a terrorist entity under a foreign terrorist designation. But they say it is coming soon, according to The National.
The Brotherhood is already counted as a terrorist group in several countries, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain, and Russia. It is well known that the organization backs violent extremist forces across the Middle East, and in fact, the planet. That would include Hamas, which was spun off from a Muslim Brotherhood affiliate back in the 1980s. The Brotherhood has been pushing terrorism since it was founded in Egypt in the 1920s.

Sudan: Arab Militia Slaughters Hundreds in Maternity Ward Massacre
AP News: Arab militia “fighters — on foot, riding on camels, or in vehicles — went from house to house, beating and shooting at people, including women and children.”
Hundreds of innocent people, including women and children, were slaughtered in cold blood after an Arab militia went on a killing spree in Sudan’s Darfur region — home to the country’s remaining Christian and non-Muslim population.
Germany’s DW TV reported on Wednesday that “members of Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary had ruthlessly killed 460 patients and companions at the Saudi Maternity Hospital in el-Fasher,” the capital of North Darfur region.

New College of Florida Becomes First School to Sign Trump Admin’s Higher Ed Compact
“As other colleges have rejected the compact, we see it as a bold step forward from the Trump administration that will help preserve America’s place as the world’s number one destination for higher education”
“As other colleges have rejected the compact, we see it as a bold step forward from the Trump administration that will help preserve America’s place as the world’s number one destination for higher education,” it added.
Trump’s college compact says it will give colleges preferential treatment in federal funding decisions in exchange for pledges and agreements on oversight regarding hiring, admissions and campus culture.
New College of Florida, once a progressive institution, has adopted conservative ideals after DeSantis replaced the college’s leadership with ideological allies.

Trump says China to buy US farm products, export rare earth minerals in exchange for tariff cuts
President Trump also announced a potential deal with China to purchase U.S. energy
resident Trump said Thursday following his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping that China in exchange for him lowering tariffs will purchase American farm products, continue to freely export rare earth minerals and stop fentanyl from entering the U.S.
Trump met with Xi in South Korea for trade talks amid the president’s Asia trip.
The president told reporters aboard Air Force One, upon his return, that the U.S. would lower tariffs imposed earlier this year as punishment on China – from 20% to 10% – for its selling of chemicals used to make fentanyl. That reduction brings the total combined tariff rate on China down from 57% to 47%, according to the Associated Press.

Trump admin secures 1,700 arrests in first month of Memphis takeover
Bondi said the arrests include 126 alleged gang members, and that the federal taskforce has seized nearly 300 guns and located approximately seven dozen children.
ttorney General Pam Bondi on Wednesday announced that the Trump administration has made 1,700 arrests in Memphis, Tennessee, so far, after just one month of its federal takeover.
President Donald Trump announced last month that he would be deploying the National Guard and a federal task force to Memphis, citing the city’s crime statistics. Memphis has the highest violent crime rate per capita in the nation.
Bondi said the arrests include 126 alleged gang members, and that the federal taskforce has seized nearly 300 guns and located approximately seven dozen children.
“Tolerating crime is a choice. Under President Trump, we choose law and order: residents of our cities do not have to live in fear of violent crime,” Bondi told Fox News. “Our federal surge into Memphis has put gang members behind bars, rescued dozens of children, and proven that collaboration between federal and local law enforcement can quickly make American cities safe again.

Cruz says Greene becoming ‘very liberal’ with stances on Israel, government spending
“That is not where the American people are,” Sen. Ted Cruz said
exas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz said on Wednesday that Republican colleague Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is becoming “very liberal” with her stances on Israel and government spending.
Cruz said on CNBC that people should not “spend much time worrying about what Marjorie is saying,” The Hill news outlet reported.
“What I’ve found is that whenever an elected official decides that they are going to turn on Israel and hate Israel, you will very quickly see every other policy out of their mouth become very, very liberal,” Cruz continued. “And so suddenly Marjorie is for massive government spending and taxes and open borders and amnesty.”
“Okay, fine,” he said. “That is not where the American people are. Where the American people are is real simple. We’re on Day 29 of the stupidest shutdown.”
Ohio GOP Sen. Bernie Moreno earlier pleaded for Greene to stop openly criticizing House Speaker Mike Johnson.
“If this is something she‘s passionate about, put pen to paper, write a bill, present an option,” Moreno told CNN. “Don‘t just criticize what other people are doing.”
On Tuesday, Greene called out Johnson for not offering congressional Republicans any alternative plans to the Affordable Care Act during a conference call. Her comments came as Senate Democrats continue to vote against a House-passed funding bill, continuing the government shutdown because they’re pushing for extended ACA tax credits.
In July, she said the humanitarian crisis in Gaza amid Israel’s war with Hamas is a “genocide.”

Texas sees more arrests and convictions for threatening to kill judges and federal agents
As deportation roundups and sometimes violent protests continue throughout U.S. cities, those threatening federal agents and judges continue to be arrested and convicted in Texas.
As deportation roundups and sometimes violent protests continue throughout U.S. cities, those threatening federal agents and judges continue to be arrested and convicted in Texas.

Lubbock resident Tristan Langston faces up to 15 years in prison during his sentencing hearing next week after a jury convicted him of threatening to kill U.S. Secret Service agents and their family members. He was charged in March with Transmitting Threats in Interstate Commerce and Threatening a Federal Law Enforcement Officer. By August, a four-day trial was held and the jury convicted him on both counts, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas said.
He was convicted after the jury heard evidence that Langston had been making online threats since 2023, leading to an investigation by Secret Service agents.
“Evidence in the case revealed that Langston’s statements went well beyond mere political rhetoric or bluster and constituted true threats directed at specific federal agents,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office said. For months, Langston “targeted one of the agents and his family in online posts and memorialized the anger and resentment he harbored against the agents in videos and notes he maintained on his cellphone over a period of years.”

FIELDS OF BLOOD: Islamic Jihadis Slaughter Thousands of Civilians, Mainly Women and Children, To The Cries of “Allahu Akbar”
Satellite images in Sudan show blood-soaked ground after a brutal RSF massacre in Darfur. The slaughter is so severe, it’s visible from space.

Nothing from the UN, human rights NGOS, nothing. No protests in the streets, not a word. No marches, No outcry. No black voices in America shouting from the rooftops. Where is BLM?
When Muslims do the killing, the silence is deafening.
Jihadists are murdering, raping, torturing, kidnapping, enslaving, and, in some instances, burning people alive — across Africa, and now in Syria.

More than 16.2 million Christians in Sub-Saharan Africa have been driven from their homes by jihadi violence and conflict, reports the human rights organization Open Doors. Such violence includes murder, physical injury, rape, abduction, theft of property and destruction of homes and farmland. Christians are being dispossessed of their land and means of livelihood. Millions of them now live in displaced-persons camps. Women and girls are abducted, forced into “marriage,” forced to convert to Islam, raped, and subjected to forced labor. Several girls have been forced to act as suicide bombers or human shields at the hands of jihadis.

An anarchist with a lengthy rap sheet has been arrested for putting a $45,000 hit out on US Attorney General Pam Bondi and a Democrat, anti-Trump judge released him.
The Democrats are the assassins party.
Tyler Maxon Avalos, 29, was taken into custody on Oct. 16 after a tipster alerted the FBI to a TikTok post that allegedly advertised a murder-for-hire plot against Bondi earlier this month.
Judge Douglas Micko released Avalos without bail despite a lengthy violent criminal record.

Qatari Government Lobbies and Lavishes and Seduces Conservative Media Outlets
Positive and charitable coverage of Islamic terror state that—for decades—aided and abetted Hamas terrorists. Qatar’s earlier media efforts focused on left-of-center outlets.

The Gulf kingdom’s billion-dollar charm offensive is rewriting loyalties in Washington, proving that in politics, seduction often speaks louder than ideology.
Qatar is a human rights abusing regime. They enslave migrant workers….caused thousands of them to die. They support the Taliban. They support Hamas. They support terrorism. They have an egregious human rights record.

Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Alexandria condemns ‘incessant persecution’ of Christians in Nigeria by ‘Islamists’
Islam is waging a genocide against Christians in Nigeria and elsewhere in Africa, but the world ignores it.
Although Patriarch Theodoros of Alexandria, who is actually the Greek Orthodox Pope and Patriarch of Alexandria, not the Coptic Pope as is stated in the article below, condemned the persecution of Christians by “fanatical Islamist groups,” there’s a 1,400-year history that tells the truth about Islam’s persecution of disbelievers: it is central and mainstream to Islam. This is what the Sharia is: the heart of Islam. Islam conquered the entire Middle East via the sword, and only in Israel was this conquest rolled back.
Recently, Bill Maher called attention to the topic of Christian persecution in Nigeria; that has gained some traction, but not nearly enough. It isn’t only Israel that Islam seeks to conquer, but the whole world. Islam seeks a global caliphate. And violence is a religious duty.

Hamas stalls on returning bodies of 13 dead hostages, stages fake discovery of remains
There are two possible reasons why Hamas has not returned the bodies of the Israeli hostages: either because they disposed of many altogether, or the bodies will serve as evidence of barbaric, systematic abuse by Hamas, or both. Hamas has been benefitting from global propaganda, and it doesn’t want the truth revealed about what it really is: a group of savage jihadists with no respect for infidel life. It will go to any length to cover up what it is. But Hamas can only lie so far. It now finds itself in a bind, since Israel awaits the return of the remains of the hostages as part of the ceasefire deal. The world watches.

Alexander De Croo, Belgian Israel-Hater, Nominated for a High UN Post
Well, what did you expect? This is the once-decent but now-monstrous institution on the East River, the United Nations, where the secretary-general is the anti-Israeli Antonio Guterres, where three-quarters of the representatives at the General Assembly walk out when Benjamin Netanyahu walks to the podium to speak, where the antisemite (even Guterres called her a “horrible person”) Francesca Albanese is the Special Rapporteur for Conditions in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, where the General Assembly passes one anti-Israel non-binding resolution after another, where the Security Council would pass anti-Israel binding resolutions if it could, but the lone dissenting vote and veto of the United States consistently prevents it.

Texas AG Sues Tylenol Makers for Hiding Autism Risks, Misleading Pregnant Women
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing Johnson & Johnson and its spinoff Kenvue, accusing them of deceptively marketing Tylenol as safe for pregnant women despite evidence linking the drug to autism and ADHD.

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

I just got back from Asia where I met the Leaders of many Countries, including China, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and others. It was a Great Honor to meet them but, more particularly, to see that America is respected again — RESPECTED LIKE NEVER BEFORE! Great Trade Deals were made, Long Term relationships now exist, and money is pouring into our Country because of Tariffs and, frankly, the Landslide Results of the 2024 Presidential Election. The one question that kept coming up, however, was how did the Democrats SHUT DOWN the United States of America, and why did the powerful Republicans allow them to do it? The fact is, in flying back, I thought a great deal about that question, WHY?

Majority Leader John Thune, and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, are doing a GREAT job, but the Democrats are Crazed Lunatics that have lost all sense of WISDOM and REALITY. It is a sick form of the now “legendary” Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) that only comes from losing too much. They want Trillions of Dollars to be taken from our Healthcare System and given to others, who are not deserving — People who have come into our Country illegally, many from prisons and mental institutions. This will hurt American citizens, and Republicans will not let it happen. It is now time for the Republicans to play their “TRUMP CARD,” and go for what is called the Nuclear Option — Get rid of the Filibuster, and get rid of it, NOW! Just a short while ago, the Democrats, while in power, fought for three years to do this, but were unable to pull it off because of Senators Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona. Never have the Democrats fought so hard to do something because they knew the tremendous strength that terminating the Filibuster would give them. They want to substantially expand (PACK!) the United States Supreme Court, make Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico States (Thereby automatically picking up 4 Senate seats, many House seats, and at least 8 Electoral Votes!), and many other highly destructive things. Well, now WE are in power, and if we did what we should be doing, it would IMMEDIATELY end this ridiculous, Country destroying “SHUT DOWN.” If the Democrats ever came back into power, which would be made easier for them if the Republicans are not using the Great Strength and Policies made available to us by ending the Filibuster, the Democrats will exercise their rights, and it will be done in the first day they take office, regardless of whether or not we do it. In addition to all of the other things we would get, such as the best Judges, the best U.S. Attorneys, the best of everything, this was a concept from years ago of then President Barack Hussein Obama and former Majority Leader Harry Reid in order to take advantage of the Republicans. Now I want to do it in order to take advantage of the Democrats….

RPOF: Hidden Networks Steering Elections - - Inside The Florida GOP: Influence, Consulting And Conflicts Of Interest

https://miamiindependent.com/rpof-hidden-networks-steering-elections-inside-the-florida-gop-influence-consulting-and-conflicts-of-interest/
*****************************************

Across the country, Republican parties are experiencing a quiet but consequential struggle between establishment insiders, on one hand, and grassroots activists, on the other. Florida’s recent GOP battles illustrate how local decisions can ripple nationally—raising questions about transparency, accountability and the integrity of internal party governance.

1. In Manatee County, the Republican Executive Committee (REC) was shut down entirely, including duly-elected State Committeeman Trent Wyman and State Committeewoman Jackie Heisse.

2. In Charlotte County, popular REC Chairman David Kalin was removed by the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) despite public support from his Board. His resignation was even rejected—apparently to bar him from participating in party activities for two years. The rest of the Board may face the same fate as Manatee’s leadership for supporting him.

3. In Osceola County, members who resigned from other organizations to comply with new RPOF rules were later prevented from voting and suspended.

4. Meanwhile, in Brevard County, the new MAGA-aligned REC Chairman was ousted by RPOF leadership.

These actions reflect more than simple internal disagreements—they suggest a systematic sidelining by the RPOF of county REC leaders willing to challenge the party line.

The Power Players

Three figures sit at the center of this unfolding drama:

1. Evan Powers, RPOF Chairman;
2. Bill Helmich, RPOF Executive Director; and
3. David Ramba, a Tallahassee based consultant and lobbyist active in multiple counties.

Powers and Helmich have long-standing ties to Ramba. Notably, Helmich maintains a vote-by-mail address at a property owned by Ramba, while claiming a homestead in another county. None of this is illegal, but the optics suggest overlapping influence within the very party structures responsible for candidate selection and internal policy enforcement.

Records show Helmich’s homestead in Leon County, yet he has been voting and serving as a committeeman in Madison County. Under Florida law, one can only represent the county where one is officially registered to live. Ironically, Helmich is reportedly responsible for removing the aforementioned REC Board members and State Committee representatives for rule violations. Might this be a case of “rules for thee, but not for me”?

Evan Powers’ connection is particularly concerning: he is directly employed by Ramba Consulting. As Chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, Powers influences support for candidates seeking state-level office—officials who, once elected, would vote on legislation affecting Ramba’s clients in utilities, transportation and public affairs. Again, not illegal—but certainly eyebrow-raising.

David Ramba, who operates in Palm Beach, Leon, and Hillsborough Counties, has built a network that blends consulting, political strategy and access to decision-makers. While his firm’s work is publicly recognized as consulting, the alignment of his staff, professional relationships, and the use of his properties intersect with party leadership in ways that raise legitimate concerns about where private interests end and party governance begins.

Notably, Ramba serves as Executive Director of the Florida Supervisors of Elections Association, Inc. representing the 67 County Supervisors of Elections in Florida—many of which oppose the reforms demanded by grassroots advocates, such as voting system security, absentee ballot oversight, and broader election integrity. These same issues resonate in swing states from Pennsylvania to Arizona.

How is any of this not a conflict of interest?

The Broader Implications

These developments are nationally relevant because they mirror tensions across state Republican parties throughout the country: grassroots activists clashing with entrenched leadership. The pattern is consistent—populist-aligned grassroots leaders are removed while establishment figures consolidate power.

Such dynamics risk deepening divisions within the party, potentially alienating the base at a moment when voter engagement is critical. In Florida, when party executives, consultants, and administrators operate in overlapping spheres of influence, the optics alone demand scrutiny. Questions of property use, professional relationships, and voting arrangements may or may not have direct legal implications—but perception matters.

Trust in the electoral process and confidence in party governance are fragile commodities, especially when the voices of local grassroots members are sidelined.

Florida’s Republican Party stands as a cautionary tale for the national party: without reform and transparency, internal divisions may intensify—leaving both leadership and grassroots activists in conflict. The stakes are high, not only for state politics but for the credibility of the Republican Party nationwide.

Anybody want to see a belt fed pistol?

OK, ok, it is not 'technically' belt fed but given the way the internals work it acts like one. It is a 10+1, semi automatic, 22LR, folding pistol that weighs approx 8 oz loaded and slides easily in your purse or pocket. Here is an excellent YouTube describing the construction and internal function.

Here is the company webpage. It is available directly from the manufacturer for $899 + $20 S&H. It is currently back ordered four to six weeks.
