“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!
Psalm 62:7 (King James Version)
In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

Is there any question this group chat is another Russia, Russia, Russia operation by the deep state? Only the Dums would actually believe they could sneak some sort of cyber hack inside the administration and then blame them of treason for being hacked. When it all settles out it will be a trick by the Democrat Communist Party once again.

The real question is how many attacks on shipping has the Houthis committed since these attacks occurred. Unlike Senile Joe’s regime, terrorists around the world are not going to be bribed into not attacking American ships and people but are going to be killed and have their weapons destroyed. What a breath of fresh air Trump is.

The Communists cannot afford to have a secure world or a prosperous America since it would not only prove Marxist oppression does not work, people would realize they do not need them. Communism requires a helpless society which looks to gummit to solve all of their problems, Trump is showing you have fewer problems with less gummit and more freedom.

President Trump has received commitments from foreign businesses of around a $4 Trillion investment in America which is amazing news. This will put hundreds of thousands Americans to work in very good paying jobs making their lives better. This terrifies the Democrat Communists since this will make them completely useless to over half the country.

What really terrifies them is these trillions and the trillions more coming is they are going to be focused on Red States. These businesses are going to need plentiful cheap energy and low regulations which are centered in states like Texas, Louisiana, Florida and Rust Belt states once the coal plants are producing energy again. Steel and aluminum are heavily dependent on cheap energy sources which can be produced in abundance, hurting those Climate Change Cult states like New York, Oregon and California.

Texas is going to be the big winner for these foreign investors. Even the AI companies need abundant power which the Oil and Natural Gas capital of America will provide. This will bring even more development of refining and drilling as these energy users need more and more cheap energy which is really America’s advantage.

Oregon is going to be left in the Communist wake as they are the owners of the highest energy prices with the most draconian regulations disallowing all new production. It believes in windmills and butterfly wings for its energy needs while outlawing gas powered leaf blowers and cars to make sure it returns to years prior to Lewis and Clark who of course were racist, sexist, homophobes who destroyed the peace-loving Indians.

Governor Tiny Kotek will return to her Maoist roots as she mocks Trump’s economic successes bragging about her planned mass vows of poverty for all Oregonians as they have brownouts, out of reach taxation, and housing to prove Communism is the morally superior form of gummit. She will sell the sour grapes of saving the planet from Global Warming by passing more draconian laws until the only people surviving are public employees sucking the last drops of blood from taxpayers unable to move to a Red State.

Governor Tiny will not be able to explain why all the Red States are living in the roaring twenties while Oregon is still in a recession/depression selling tennis shoes and what’s left of Intel as it pulls up stakes. The brilliant Dims will likely push taking out more hydroelectic dams and less forest management to satisfy their pagan gods while chanting in their drum circles in the Capitol while wearing pagan masks to appease Gaia.

America is looking at the Roaring Twenties if they can keep the Democrat Communists from stopping it from happening. Dems are desperate now since they see the writing on the wall which is an end to their reign so they are using tricks and traps again. The hard work starts now for the Red States and up to the Blue States to make the changes which have to be made to be a part of these trillions coming in. The first change is Tiny who needs to be exposed for the danger she is to Oregon. Rather than a vow of poverty, a vow of changing Oregon can free the state from this pagan poverty.

Pray for America

Note: The above opinion is not necessarily my own, but FReeper Bray’s. If you wish to discuss this, please ping Bray.

Thank you. Sadly, our elected President continues to be assaulted.
Coincidently, always the same "judges", and always "not from here".

"A curiosity about the DC District Court’s judges
1. Five of the fifteen judges sitting on the U.S. District Court of
the District of Columbia were born outside the United States.
2. All five of those foreign-born judges somehow managed to get selected
to rule on controversial Trump cases.
3. All five of those five judges had zero experience as a judge before being
appointed to one of the most influential courts in the land.

The recently infamous James Boasberg, chief judge of the D.C. District Court, is one of
the 15 principal judges on that court. There are an additional 10 older, senior judges
who occasionally hear cases, all of whom were born in the U.S.
This seeding of foreign-born judges to the D.C. court is another “transformational innovation”
that can be traced back to Barack Obama, who in 2014 appointed Judge Tanya Sue Churkan,
born in Kingston, Jamaica. “Before sitting on federal court, she had no experience as a judge.
Chutkan is overseeing the legal challenge to DOGE’s work to slash excess government spending.”
Obama also appointed Judge Amit P. Mehta to the D.C. court.
Mehta also had no previous experience as a judge. Mehta was born in Patan,
Gujarat, India. ... He was raised in Maryland. Mehta will oversee four January 6 civil cases
that aim to blame Trump for injuries and squeeze money, court time, and political embarrassment out of him.
Joe Biden picked up where Obama left off when he nominated Judge Ana Cecilia Reyes,
born in Montevideo, Uruguay, yet another appointee with no prior experience as a judge."

"Law Professor Jonathan Turley on Judges Interfering in Trump’s Agenda:
‘They Have Intruded Into Areas of Presidential Authority’
A handful of judges are trying to stop Trump from enacting his agenda.
This is an indisputable fact.
Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University, who is also a liberal,
recently talked about this on FOX News and clearly sees this as judicial interference.
His point is simple. The people of America elected Trump, not a small group of activist judges.
.... People are tired of this. The public elected Trump for a reason.

"These judges need to get out of the way."

This Republic should be RUN by it's own People.

"Immigration law in the United States operates under a framework deliberately designed
to keep federal district courts at arm’s length. This isn’t an accident---
it’s a calculated move by Congress to streamline a complex system and prevent judicial overreach.
The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) lays out a clear path: immigration cases
start with administrative proceedings before immigration judges,
move to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) if appealed, and then, if necessary,
land in the federal circuit courts. District courts? They’re not part of the equation.
The reasoning is straightforward. Immigration enforcement and policy fall
under the executive branch, with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
taking the lead. Congress recognized that letting district courts--
-trial-level bodies with limited geographic reach—meddle in these cases would create chaos.
A single judge in, say, Texas or California could derail national policy
with a ruling that conflicts with another district’s decision."
... Immigration judges aren’t Article III federal judges---they’re administrative officials under the Attorney General.
Their decisions don’t belong in district court dockets. Yet, some activist lawyers try to bypass this setup,
filing habeas petitions or lawsuits to snag a favorable ruling from a sympathetic judge."

=================

A Third Of All DC District Judges Are Foreign Born
The United States District Court for the District of Columbia, the source of many
of the cases interfering with President Donald Trump’s authority, has 15 judges,
(Counting Chief JudgeJames Boasberg) and five of them were born outside the United States.
While country of origin doesn’t come up in most jobs, it is worth asking if judges
ith ties to foreign nations and cultures are the right ones to make decisions affecting the U.S. military or immigration.

https://thefederalist.com/2025/03/25/a-third-of-all-dc-district-judges-were-not-born-in-united-states/

Nearly Every Federal Judge Obstructing Trump Has a Spouse or Child Drawing
a Paycheck From a Democrat-Aligned NGO

"Judge’s are supposed to recuse themselves from any decisions that could even remotely look like
there’s a conflict of interest. But these judges aren’t ruling on cases,
they are left-wing activists who are also protecting their families’ livelihoods.
The conflict of interest is glaring.
... James Boasberg’s daughter works for nonprofit whose founder said judge ‘rightly’ blocked deportations
of alleged Venezuelan gangbangers — and opposes Laken Riley Act...
"The daughter of DC District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg is employed by a nonprofit that received millions
in government funding, opposes the Laken Riley Act — and whose founder argued that the jurist “rightly”
blocked President Trump from swiftly deporting alleged Venezuelan gang members.
Katharine Boasberg, the daughter of the federal judge who halted the Trump administration from using
the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to send alleged Tren de Aragua members to a megaprison in El Salvador,
conducts “capacity building work in public defender offices across the nation” for the nonprofit
group Partners in Justice.
Partners in Justice removed Boasberg’s biography page from its website after her father was assigned ..."

Another great essay on how DJT is changing the country and the world with the world eagerly participating in the change.

Everyone needs capitalism to survive and Trump knows that. We,the US, are the kings of capitalism and will remain so as long as Trump is at the helm.

I particularly liked this one in your piece:

America is looking at the Roaring Twenties if they can keep the Democrat Communists from stopping it from happening. Dems are desperate now since they see the writing on the wall which is an end to their reign so they are using tricks and traps again. The hard work starts now for the Red States and up to the Blue States to make the changes which have to be made to be a part of these trillions coming in.

The first change is Tiny who needs to be exposed for the danger she is to Oregon. Rather than a vow of poverty, a vow of changing Oregon can free the state from this pagan poverty.

...........................

The dems are in deed desperate which is why they have pumped millions into the race for the state supreme court in Wisconsin.

I asked grok3 about the 60 plus million the dems have in the race which is supposedly non-partisan but you would never know it. Here's a partial grok3 response:

Conclusion:

Wisconsin's a cash-soaked brawl—$60M+ from the left, Musk's counterpunch—origins track to big names, not shadows (yet). House seats hang—two could flip, your margin's toast. Florida's safer—red as hell—but a squeaker means money's whispering.

I also mentioned the Florida race which we should be in good shape on as far as a win goes but we need a big win to show that the area is still a big Republican area and can't be screwed over with big bucks.

Not to be ignored is Elise Stefanik who was all set to be an ambassador until Trump decided a better bet would be to put her back in the House just for safety's sake. Here is groks take:

Trump Pulls Stefanik:

House Majority on the Line

You're spotlighting Trump's move to yank Elise Stefanik’s UN ambassadorship nomination to keep her in the House, quoting a report that frames it as: a polite ask to protect the GOP's razor-thin 218-213 majority.

It's Sunday, March 30, 2025, 3:35 AM PDT—you're tying this to the Wisconsin and North Florida races, showing how every seat's a lifeline for Trump's agenda.

So we see DJT is doing everything he possibly can to save the House from killing his agenda. Four key seats he, Musk and an army of conservatives are all hard at work to protect from the army of commie-dems. Additionally they seem to have endless bucks from somewhere.

here's Elise:

Great stuff bud as usual!

Perhaps the only way to get rid of these rogue judges is to basically defund or get rid of their districts all together. here's a grok reply to can federal judges be defunded:

Short Answer

No, not directly—federal judges’ salaries are constitutionally protected from cuts during their tenure, but Congress can tweak court budgets to squeeze operations.

The Details:

Constitutional Shield:

Article III, Section 1—judges “shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office” (U.S. Const., 1789). Supreme Court's ruled it ironclad—United States v. Will (1980), no pay cuts mid-term (SCOTUS, 449 U.S. 200). Lifetime gig, good behavior—salaries locked (2025: $232K district, $246K appeals, $298K justices, AOUSC).

Congress's Power:

Budget's the lever—Appropriations Clause (Art. I, Sec. 9). Congress funds the judiciary via the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts (AOUSC)—$8.5B for FY 2025 (Judiciary Budget, 2024). Can't touch salaries, but can slash clerks, staff, tech—$1.5B discretionary chunk (AOUSC, 2025).

Defunding Limits:

Operations:

2013 sequestration—5% cut, furloughs, delays (NYT, 2013). Courts limped—can't “defund” to zero, judicial function's mandated (Art. III).

Specific Judges:

No line-item veto for Judge X—budget's system-wide (CBO, 2025). Targeting one? Impeachment's the route (Art. II, Sec. 4)—14 bounced since 1803 (Senate.gov, 2025).

Precedent:

Congress threatened—1929, Hoover-era pay freeze stalled (FJC, 2025). SCOTUS struck a 1930s cut (O’Donoghue v. U.S., 1933)—salaries untouchable. Budget trims? Fair game—2025 House GOP floated 10% judiciary shave (Politico, March 28), Senate Dems killed it.

So it looks like the house through budgetary manipulations can mess with judges who are crazed. Question is will they?

Here's another lady making the news who may be far more important than we ever knew:

I did this one an hour or so ago on Q:

To: bitt; All

This is a summary of the interveiw Lara Trump did with Chief of staff Susie Wiles:

Susie Wiles,the most important woman in the country accd. to her boss DJT.

She talks to Lara Trump last night. She and the President work long hours it's all about a team that:

Believes in the mission and the man.

In 2015 she met DJT,he asked her to be the co-chair of fla. team for his election in 2016. Susie says he came into office knowing exactly what he wanted to do. He knew the direction and seven days a week they got the job done. 7am til 10 at night. She's chief of staff.

She's been in politics her entire life. She stays out of the spotlight and likes to stay "in the back". "The Ice Maiden" is her nickname.

Broadcaster Pat Summerall was her father. Here's Pat:

She was treated equally by her family no difference between her or her brothers. She saved her father from alcoholism late in life.

Lara asks if Susie does tough love with DJT? She says they have an easy arrangement with DJT she told him the 2020 race was not corrupt,big mistake.

She also worked in Whitehouse with Pres. Reagan. She says they are:

trying to settle a war,rebuilding the economy, getting criminals out of country, on and on. She keeps him on track to fix the country.

She could be: the most important person in the country if not the world.

Here's Susie:

Peter Navarro on with Shannon may be worth watching,Byron Donalds will be for sure!! Peter like his buddy Steve Bannon both served four months in jail for being hardcore Trump supporters.This echoes the need for a fair and balanced judiciary.

Elise discussion now on with candidate Fine in north Fla. only has a four point lead.

Jim Patronin in fla. is being out spent my millions. Elon Musk is helping in Wisconsin where two seats are in jeopardy.

..................

Peter Navarro now up 25% tariff on import cars says Shannon who claims the president does not care:

Navarro says tariffs are jobs and tax cuts,he's right.

Historically we get price stability and prices go down. in the 60's we had tariffs on chickens from Germany we taxed the VW in response it worked well so Shannon interrupts Navarro.

She questions his claim of tax cut,Navarro says we raise 100 billion with people buying us cars and other tariffs raise 600 billion which will create tax cuts for lower paid Americans. Gas will go down as well.

Navarro says its a nat. security problem we have 50% of cars are foreign, which turns the country into a non-mfg. country. Navarro says only 19% of cars sold had US engines in their cars.

People think tariffs make things more expensive Shannon says short term their will be problems polling shows people are stupid and don't get it. Navarro says we are the biggest market and we can do what the president says and win. He's right.

Mexico is building engines for our cars our production has been outsourced all over the world. Shannon has to keep interrupting him and can't get him off soon enough. She's a bitch.

Now we have the dirty dem counter party uaw behind trumps stuff mark warner money falling out of the sky is a tax,hes full of shit as usual.

Dems are experts at lying and shannon does not interrupt him at all.

Shannon asks will the tariffs bring American jobs back and get back jobs now in Mexico. Warner says if we don't mind paying more for everything with higher costs its fine. Yet another lie.

These guys hate America and don't care if our economy dies a horrible death he wants govt. control 1200%.

Warner salivates at trying to destroy our side they dont care about the ZUS at all only dem control.

Canada says our relationship with the US will never be the same so he takes the Canadian side. Shannon now asking if the dems are in disarray and they are leaderless,warner says we don connect with people very good.

He says dems need to be pro-growth,why weren't they for four years? Now warner switches to classified call by Pete hegseth,they want Pete our really bad and:

shannon lets it all happen!!

She never interrupts Warner at all and that's all she did to Navarros the disconnects are amazing!! Warner goes on and on about how the dems got traction with signal problem with someone waltz clearly knew and just made an error in messaging the wrong person.

warners desperate to make the screw up a crime and wants Pete fired. His face shows the desperation of the dirty dems.

Shannons clearly on the side of the dirty dems and mark warner who was clearly desperate for traction.
