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.

>Decide for yourself (be free from outside opinion).
>Decide for yourself (be objective in your conclusions).
>Decide for yourself (be true in your own beliefs).
>Decide for yourself (be open to following the facts).

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.
WWG1WGA!!!

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.

Where We Go 1, We Go All

RFK Jr.’s New Autism Advisers Set Sights on ‘Many Unanswered Questions’
Nine new members have joined the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee, which provides “advice and recommendations” on autism to U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. John Gilmore, executive director of the Autism Action Network, said he and the other new members “are picking up the pieces following a generation of profound failure.”

HD Seeks Emergency Order to Keep Teens in School Pending Religious Exemption Lawsuit
Children’s Health Defense is seeking a temporary restraining order to allow two New York high school students to attend school until the courts rule in a lawsuit challenging the state’s repeal of religious exemptions. One of the teens, 17-year-old Raphael Goe, has Down syndrome and has been losing vision and speech skills since the school expelled him in April 2025.
CHD today filed the motion in federal court on behalf of Betsy Roe and Raphael Goe, both 17.
“Betsy and Raphael have suffered tremendously as a result of the state’s 2019 repeal of religious exemptions,” said CHD General Counsel Kim Mack Rosenberg.
Mack Rosenberg said the two teens “exemplify” the harms that thousands of New York children and their parents have experienced since schools stopped granting exemptions to the state’s vaccine mandates.

IMMINENT COLLAPSE: Trump’s Boycott Leaves UN ‘on Brink of Bankruptcy’, Says Secretary-General
Excellent. The UN is an evil and corrupt organization. The UN has among other things empowered and enriched brutal dictatorships, tinpot nations, and terrorist organizations, spread antiSemitism at a scale not seem since pre-Holocaust Nazi Germany, and seeks to inflict global governance on the world. The world would be a much safer place if this horrific organization went bankrupt and dismantled in short order.
American taxpayers are funding a corrupt UN apparatus that coddles jihadists and condemns their victims. Enough.
Today, President Donald J. Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum directing the withdrawal of the United States from 66 international organizations that no longer serve American interests including:

Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman (KBS) said in a private briefing on Friday in Washington that if President Trump doesn’t follow through on his threats against Iran, the regime will end up stronger, four sources in the room tell Axios.
Why it matters: This is a reversal from the public Saudi talking points cautioning against escalation and from the deep concern Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) expressed to Trump three weeks ago. That warning was one reason Trump decided to delay a strike….

Israel and the Syrian Threat
The fall of the House of Assad in late 2024 was heralded by many as a victory for the Syrian people, but for the State of Israel, the transition to an Islamist-led order in Damascus has created a strategic nightmare that is currently culminating in a “jihadi time bomb” on the northern border. The fragile security apparatus that once contained and kept at bay tens of thousands of Islamic State (ISIS) fighters and their families has shattered following the rapid withdrawal of Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) under military and political pressure from the new central government.
Given all this, Israel is determined to hold onto the territory it seized just after Assad’s fall. This includes a new buffer zone created by the IDF just north of the Golan Heights, where nine military outposts have been built, and taking over all of Mt. Hermon, giving Israel control of its commanding heights that overlook the road to Damascus far below.

What Almog Meir Jan Learned as a Hostage: ‘There Are No Innocents ln Gaza’
It has frequently been noted that the kibbutzniks whom Hamas attacked on October 7, 2023 were for the most part leftists, believers in “two states, one Jewish and one Palestinian, existing side by side in peace and security,” and prepared to entertain some kind of “land-for-peace” deal as believers in the essential decency of the “vast majority of the Palestinians” who “had nothing to do with Hamas or terrorism.”
Those who were hostages in Gaza have returned with a different understanding.
Almog Meir Jan was one of those who came back from his captivity in Gaza with a much less optimistic view. He saw the hatred and cruelty both of Hamas and of the civilians in Gaza, and is now determined to share what he observed with other Israelis who need to be disabused of their dangerous dreams.
Former Gaza hostage Almog Meir Jan shared how, having spent 246 days in Gaza, his belief in coexistence crumbled, and how he sees that hatred and the focus on the destruction of Israel are why Gaza is in ruins and why Palestinian society is unable to succeed.

UK: Muslim ‘asylum seeker’ rapes 12-year-old girl in park
Why does this keep happening? Yes, sexual molestation happens all over. But we see Muslim migrants involved in this kind of story is seen on a not infrequent basis. Why? One reason may be because such treatment of infidel women is sanctioned in the Qur’an.
In France, a Muslim quoted Qur’an while raping his victim. A survivor of a Muslim rape gang in the UK has said that her rapists would quote the Qur’an to her, and believed their actions justified by Islam. Thus it came as no surprise when Muslim migrants in France raped a girl and videoed the rape while praising Allah and invoking the Qur’an. In India, a Muslim gave a Qur’an and a prayer rug to the woman he was holding captive and repeatedly raping. And the victim of an Islamic State jihadi rapist recalled: “He told me that according to Islam he is allowed to rape an unbeliever. He said that by raping me, he is drawing closer to God…

Democratic Republic of Congo: Muslims behead five Christians, burn down church, health center, 63 homes
Islamic State is celebrating the beheading of five Christians in the Lubero District of North Kivu, north-eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
In a social media post, the terrorists declared “praise be to God” for the killings in the village of Musenge on January 24.
Local media sources report that the five were among at least 25 civilians murdered by fighters from Islamic State Central Africa Province (ISCAP).
The fighters also burned down a church building, a health center, and 63 homes – almost the entire village.
Many villagers have now fled the area, adding to the growing total of people in Christian-majority north-eastern DRC displaced by ISCAP and other armed groups such as the M23 movement.

Sharia in action in Indonesia: Woman collapses after she is lashed 140 times for sex outside marriage
Terror is the binding force of Islam. Islam is a massive system of terror. People are to be terrorized into submission. That’s what Islam is all about. Women are to live in terror of men. Non-Muslims are to live in terror of Muslims. Muslims are to live in terror of Allah. Terror is the very heart and soul of Islam.
A woman collapsed after she and her partner were caned 140 times each for having sex outside of marriage and drinking alcohol in one of the most severe Sharia Law lashings carried out in Indonesia.
The couple, a man and a woman, were struck on their backs with a rattan stick in a public park on Thursday in the province of Aceh while dozens of people watched.

Qatar’s Influence Play: Wine, Dine, and Buy the Right
In a new video circulating on X, Norwegian journalist Rebecca Mistereggen raises a question that should concern every American who cares about national sovereignty and political integrity.

Qatar, that small but massively wealthy petro-Islamic state, has spent years building a glossy image in the West through big-money PR, celebrity tie-ups, and strategic partnerships. At the same time, it quietly enables the very Islamist forces that destabilize the region and push jihadist ideologies far beyond its borders.
Mistereggen lays it out plainly: Qatar’s strategy is to infiltrate the right. She calls out the parade of high-profile Western endorsements, from David Beckham and Jessica Alba to Tucker Carlson, all lending Doha a sheen of legitimacy despite its troubling connections.

“Our schools are for educating our children, not political indoctrination. This is one of many reasons why AISD is losing so many students.”
exas Governor Greg Abbott has directed the state’s education commissioner to investigate the Austin Independent School District following reports that students were allowed to leave campus with a police escort to attend a protest at the state capitol against federal immigration enforcement.
“I have directed the Education Commissioner to investigate this,” Abbott announced on X. “AISD gets taxpayer dollars to teach the subjects required by the state, not to help students skip school to protest.”

BREAKING: Federal judge orders release of 5-year-old Liam Ramos and his illegal immigrant father
The ruling was from the Clinton-appointed Judge Fred Biery.
A federal judge has ordered the release of the 5-year-old Liam Ramos as well as his illegal immigrant father, Adrian Conejo Arias, from an immigration detention facility in Texas. The order comes after mainstream media characterized the incident where Ramos was taken by ICE agents as an arrest.
Last week, after ICE agents were in a targeted pursuit to arrest his father, Liam Ramos was taken with Conejo Arias to an immigration detention facility. According to DHS, when officers took the boy to his mother, she would not take custody of the child.

Hochul moves to ban ICE collaboration contracts for NY police
Socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani cheered the action.
While flanked by law enforcement on Friday at a press conference, Hochul proposed outlawing the formal agreements known as 287(g) agreements, which allow for local New York police departments to work with ICE by allowing local officers to be deputized along with ICE for immigration enforcement.
The governor’s office stated that the move, if put into action, will “prohibit local law enforcement from being deputized by ICE for federal civil immigration enforcement.”
“Over the last year federal immigration agents have carried out unspeakable acts of violence against Americans under the guise of public safety. These abuses – and the weaponization of local police officers for civil immigration enforcement – will not stand in New York,” Governor Hochul said. “Today, I’m announcing new actions that will safeguard our communities against dangerous federal overreach and ensure that New York law enforcement is focused on keeping New Yorkers safe – not doing the job of ICE.”

A law enforcement officer was seen on video apparently shooting at the tires of a moving car in Texas on Saturday in an operation where Border Patrol agents were helping local law enforcement. The video report comes as there have been other shooting incidents involving Border Patrol as well as ICE over the past few weeks.
The video shows a vehicle ramming into a law enforcement vehicle in reverse and then driving forward. As the vehicle started to drive away, a law enforcement officer appeared to fire shots at the tires of the vehicle on the right side.

Notre Dame defends promoting radical pro-abortion professor who called pro-life laws ‘violence’
Susan Ostermann, who Notre Dame appointed to lead its Asian studies institute, claimed that abortion is ‘freedom-enhancing’ and has faced backlash from faculty members at the university.
The University of Notre Dame has defended its appointment of a vehement abortion supporter to a prominent position despite backlash over the professor’s anti-Catholic stance on human life.
Ostermann is a particularly harsh critic of pro-life laws, having claimed that abortion access “prioritizes and values women’s freedom from experiencing violence, sexual abuse and trauma through forced pregnancy and childbirth.” She is thus directly opposed to the fundamental professed values of Notre Dame.

US approves more than $6.5 billion in arms sales to Israel, drawing ire from Democrats in Congress
House Foreign Affairs Committee Ranking Member Rep. Gregory Meeks is among the Democrats criticizing the timing and process.
he U.S. government has approved nearly $7 million in potential arms sales to Israel that has generated backlash from Democrats in Washington accusing the administration of sidelining Congress.
The U.S. State Department and Defense Security Cooperation Agency cleared four arms and equipment contracts to Israel, collectively valued at roughly $6.6 billion to $6.7 billion.
The agreement includes Israel purchasing 30 AH-64 Apache attack helicopters with weapons, sensors, and support gear as well as about 3,200 Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTVs) and related support equipment to beef up Israeli ground mobility and logistics.
Washington historically provides at least $3.8 billion annually in foreign military financing to Israel, a key ally in the volatile Middle East.

Chicago police union boss blasts mayor’s order to investigate ICE agents: ‘Piece of toilet paper’
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has signed an executive order directing members of the city’s police department to investigate federal law enforcement and refer evidence of felony violations for prosecution. The mayor signed the “Ice on Notice” order on Saturday.
The mayor said the order is part of a nationwide effort to hold President Donald Trump’s “authoritarian regime” accountable.

Chicago Republican Party Chairman Chuck Hernandez, a former Chicago Police Department detective, said the executive order smacks of desperation from a mayor grasping for relevance.
“All it does is create more hostility and chaos,” Hernandez told The Center Square.
Hernandez said the mayor is delusional to think police would support the order.
“He wants to foment hate for law enforcement and our federal law enforcement partners, and the police don’t want any part of this,” Hernandez said.
Chicago Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara Jr. provided a statement about Johnson’s order to The Center Square.
“The only good thing in that piece of toilet paper is ‘no CPD member will be required to arrest any federal agents,’” Catanzara said.

LAPD chief says he will not enforce California mask ban on federal agents
Law bans face coverings like neck gaiters and ski masks for ICE agents and other federal law enforcement authorities operating in the Golden State.
os Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell says his department won’t enforce a ban on federal agents wearing masks during immigration operations, which California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law last year.
The law bans face coverings like neck gaiters and ski masks for ICE agents and other federal law enforcement authorities operating in the Golden State. It does allow coverings for people with medical conditions, or SWAT members.
McDonnell told reporters at a news conference on the ban Thursday that he disagreed with the policies, and cited the possibility of conflict between police and the federal agencies if it were to be enforced, according to the Los Angeles Daily News.
“The reality of one armed agency approaching another armed agency to create conflict over something that would be a misdemeanor at best or an infraction, it doesn’t make any sense,” McDonnell said. “It’s not a good public policy decision and it wasn’t well thought out in my opinion.
“You look across the country, you see the things that are happening,” he continued. “We are in line with our federal partners on everything except immigration enforcement. What we’ve seen since June here in Los Angeles and seen across the country, we’re as frustrated as everybody else about the way that’s being done.”
The law went into effect on Jan. 1, but is not being enforced after the Justice Department mounted a challenge to its constitutionality, over the security risks it poses to agents.
The Department of Homeland Security has also said it won’t comply with the state law.

GOP lawmaker in Washington state ask Trump administration to investigate fraud allegations
“We truly don’t have very good mechanisms set up to track when money is not being spent properly,” said Rep. Jenny Graham, R-Spokane Valley, in a Friday interview with The Center Square. “There’s nothing that happens when money disappears. Who actually is held accountable for it?”
A Washington state lawmaker is asking President Donald Trump and the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate potential self-dealing and fraud within taxpayer subsidized programs that fund race-based housing grants, daycare subsidies and more.
As reported in recent weeks and months by The Center Square, state officials and majority Democrats have so far resisted efforts to call for investigations or outside audits.
“We truly don’t have very good mechanisms set up to track when money is not being spent properly,” said Rep. Jenny Graham, R-Spokane Valley, in a Friday interview with The Center Square. “There’s nothing that happens when money disappears. Who actually is held accountable for it?”
Graham has introduced House Joint Memorial 4014, asking the Trump administration to get involved and start investigating grant programs and the state agencies responsible for doling out the funds.

High schools throughout California stage walkouts over ICE
“We support the rights of students to safely exercise their First Amendment rights,” Brian Heap, chief communications officer for Sacramento Unified School District, told The Center Square Friday. “We don’t encourage students to leave campus, but we also don’t impede them from doing so.”
Hundreds of students at high schools throughout California held walkouts Friday over immigration raids and the law enforcement-involved deaths of two people in Minneapolis.
Schools said they prefer students to stay on campus, but staff were not standing in their way. Students successfully walked out from high schools in cities varying from Los Angeles and Riverside in Southern California to San Francisco and Sacramento up north. They headed to off-campus marches and protests.
“We support the rights of students to safely exercise their First Amendment rights,” Brian Heap, chief communications officer for Sacramento Unified School District, told The Center Square Friday. “We don’t encourage students to leave campus, but we also don’t impede them from doing so.”
Heap added, “Students who participate will receive unexcused absences.”

ever-before-seen emails were included in the newly-released Jeffrey Epstein case files on Friday.
The emails from the U.S. Justice Department files show the convicted sex criminal gave former Obama White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler luxury gifts, including a Hermes-branded Apple Watch, a $9,400 Hermes handbag, and a spa treatment package at the Four Seasons Hotel in Washington, D.C.
Correspondence between Washington Commanders and Philadelphia 76ers owner Josh Harris and Epstein were included in the latest files released.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that Harris had correspondence with Epstein after his guilty plea in 2008 for solicitation of prostitution with a minor, but prior to his arrest on child sex trafficking charges in 2019.
Reacting to the release of the files, a spokesperson for Harris said the businessman “never had an independent relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.”

SCAM Act Introduced to Strip Citizenship From Migrants Who Commit Fraud or Serious Felonies
Sen. Eric Schmitt moves to revoke citizenship within 10 years of naturalization as massive welfare fraud scandals explode nationwide.
Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) has introduced new legislation aimed at cracking down on fraud and serious criminal activity committed by recently naturalized migrants, unveiling the Stop Citizenship Abuse and Misrepresentation (SCAM) Act.
The bill would expand the federal government’s authority to begin denaturalization and deportation proceedingsagainst individuals who commit serious crimes within 10 years of becoming U.S. citizens. Offenses covered under the legislation include welfare fraud, aggravated felonies, and affiliation with terrorist organizations — explicitly including gangs and international drug cartels.
According to reporting from Fox News, the SCAM Act creates a post-naturalization review window during which federal authorities would face a lower legal threshold to revoke citizenship obtained under false pretenses or followed by serious criminal conduct.

Crazy: Tampa Wrongfully Installed Utility Pole In The Middle Of Homeowner’s One-Lane Driveway

https://miamiindependent.com/local-politics/2026/01/31/tampa-wrongfully-installed-utility-pole-in-the-middle-of-homeowners-one-lane-driveway/
*************************************

Can’t make this up: some weeks ago, TECO (Tampa Electric) wrongfully moved a utility pole to the middle of a homeowner’s driveway, reported Spectrum News, channel 9.

According to the news presenter, the homeowner, who has been rebuilding the property, said that TECO said that she’d have to pay to remove it. The cost? 4700 dollars.

The reporter contacted TECO, and she was told that the pole will be moved back to its original location at no cost.

>>>>> President Trump POSTS on Truth Social. <<<<<

The Grammy Awards are the WORST, virtually unwatchable! CBS is lucky not to have this garbage litter their airwaves any longer. The host, Trevor Noah, whoever he may be, is almost as bad as Jimmy Kimmel at the Low Ratings Academy Awards. Noah said, INCORRECTLY about me, that Donald Trump and Bill Clinton spent time on Epstein Island. WRONG!!! I can’t speak for Bill, but I have never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close, and until tonight’s false and defamatory statement, have never been accused of being there, not even by the Fake News Media. Noah, a total loser, better get his facts straight, and get them straight fast. It looks like I’ll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope of an M.C., and suing him for plenty$. Ask Little George Slopadopolus, and others, how that all worked out. Also ask CBS! Get ready Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you! President DJT

Well stated. A hard pill to swallow. Maybe her European origins.
