I am interested in politics affecting ordinary guys trying to get by in America and also how to make transportation affordable.

A Nun was declared dead in Israel after what authorities described as a highly unfortunate sequence of accidents involving 182 passing settlers trucks, each of which allegedly struck her independently and unintentionally, according to initial reports... well, it's not believable

[Eddie Gonzales | Moscow Photographer @comrade_eg]

🚨 Police showed up at her door with Flock camera “proof” she stole a package.

She had timestamped video from her truck + neighbor’s doorbell proving she wasn’t even there.

Cop refused to watch it: “That’s not my job.”

Charges dropped only after weeks of fighting.

This is the surveillance state. Guilty until you prove your own innocence. 😱

Bandar Abbas Airport was a major target tonight, where a senior figure in the Islamic regime was present and from where the regime has launched missiles and drones toward neighboring countries. This regime only understands Hebrew and Arabic; it does not understand American English. God bless America and the Iranian people.

Ugh. No good way to look at this. The US targeting data was not close to ready during attack on school, according to CNN :

[U.S. Central Command @CENTCOM]

U.S. Central Command forces have begun launching a series of powerful strikes against Iran to impose heavy costs for targeting and attacking commercial shipping crewed by innocent civilians in an international waterway. The U.S. strikes are in response to Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels that were transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s demonstrated aggression was unwarranted, dangerous, and a clear violation of the ceasefire.

People from Turkey are humble, family-oriented, hard-working. And they don't invent bullshit like Cars for Kids. Or Cancer Kidds. Or wipeout your life savings as "wealth coaches." Or inject your kids with dangerous biologicals because the money is good. Or try to put you on high doses of morphine for a gut ache so they can eventually cut you up and sell your body parts. Or blow up a high rise in New York and blame Saudi Arabians with fake passports dropped at the scene of the crime. Or shoot a kid at a Utah tech campus and blame a guy who looks totally different than all the suspect video feeds. Or sell F35 designs to the CCP. Or steal nuclear weapon designs from the Air Force.

Turkey hasn't done any of that shit. Turkey is such a good neighbor that it literally has more automatic visa deals than any country in Europe or the Middle East. Because it is a good neighbor.

Do a little more research next time first.

🚨 THE MCCONNELL-CHINA TIMELINE: THREE DECADES OF COMPROMISE, ONE CARDIAC ARREST, AND A WIFE WHO FLEW TO BEIJING WHILE HE WAS GETTING CPR — AND THE MEDIA WON’T EVEN ASK WHY 💥

Thirty years. Half a billion in CCP-dependent contracts. A $25 million gift. A Senate office run by unelected staffers. And when the 84-year-old flatlines, his wife’s first move is a strategic sit-down with the Chinese Vice President.

The question isn’t whether Mitch McConnell was compromised. The question is whether there was ever a single day in his entire Senate career when he wasn’t.

🧵 Again, The Question Isn’t Whether — It’s How Long and How Deep

The posts below lay out the current Potemkin operation masquerading as McConnell’s Senate office, but they barely scratch the surface on the CCP angle. Let’s connect the dots the institutional media has spent 30 years refusing to connect.

🇨🇳 The Chao Family: Not Just “Ties” — Structural Integration

Elaine Chao’s father, James Chao, grew up with Jiang Zemin — the man who became President of China and General Secretary of the CCP. They attended navigation school together in Shanghai. This isn’t some distant acquaintance; James Chao met with Jiang at least six times after Jiang rose to power, including inside the CCP’s secretive leadership compound in Beijing in August 1989 — mere months after Tiananmen Square.

The Chao family shipping empire, Foremost Group, doesn’t just do business in China. It’s built on Chinese state contracts:

- Angela Chao (Elaine’s sister and Foremost CEO) sat on the board of the China State Shipbuilding Corporation — the entity that builds warships for the People’s Liberation Army Navy

- In 2017 alone, Foremost signed contracts with CSSC subsidiaries for six massive bulk cargo ships, deals valued at roughly half a billion dollars

- The signing ceremony for one deal included the Consul General of China and CSSC representatives at Foremost’s New York office

- James Chao was publicly celebrated by Xinhua (Chinese state media) and the CPAFFC (a known CCP united front organization) as a “vanguard of China-US exchanges”

💰 The Money Trail: Follow the $25 Million Gift

In 2008, James Chao gave Mitch and Elaine a gift valued at between $5 million and $25 million — overnight, McConnell vaulted into the ranks of the richest senators. As Peter Schweizer documented in Red Handed, this wasn’t just generosity. It was financial fusion.

The Foremost Group’s entire business model depends on CCP goodwill. If Beijing decided to pull the plug on contracts, the Chao family fortune — and McConnell’s, by extension — would evaporate. That’s not influence. That’s leverage.

Plus: 13 members of the extended Chao family have funneled over $1 million into McConnell’s campaigns and leadership PACs since 1989 — starting before he even married Elaine.

🛑 The 2017 Scandal Everyone Forgot

When Elaine Chao became Trump’s Transportation Secretary:

- She conducted a private photo session with her father and Foremost Group employees inside the Department of Transportation headquarters with Chinese media present

- She attended a Foremost contract-signing ceremony with Japan’s Sumitomo Group — a company subject to DOT oversight

- Senior DOT aides arranged an “off limits” VIP tour of the U.S. Capitol for Chinese Communist Party officials from the home region of Chao’s mother, coordinating directly with McConnell’s Senate staff

- She had to cancel a planned China trip after U.S. Embassy officials in Beijing raised ethical concerns about her plan to bring family members from the shipping company to official events

🏥 June 2026: The Timeline That Screams

Now connect this history to the current crisis:

View image below.

Let that sink in. Your husband of 30 years suffers cardiac arrest — CPR on the floor of his home — and three days later you’re in Beijing meeting with CCP Vice President Han Zheng, discussing “strategic stability” in U.S.-China relations.

That’s not a wife visiting family. That’s a handler checking in.

🔍 The “Office of McConnell” as Continuity of Operations

My original posts 💯 nail the current structure: McConnell is a brand identity, not a functioning senator. His staff — Josh Holmes, Shannon Saylor, Don Stewart — run a shadow operation maintaining the institutionalist-uniparty firewall against Trump’s populist agenda.

But the Chao-CCP dimension adds a darker layer: the people running “McConnell” aren’t just protecting K Street and the MIC. They’re protecting a three-decade financial entanglement with the Chinese Communist Party that would make the Burisma-Biden connection look like small claims court.

In other words, we can expect a 7 foot tall 60-year-old version of Mitch McConnell to appear very soon.

I am unfollowing anything Scott Jennings, reevaluating my beliefs and ... getting my news from Laura Loomer. Not on my bingo card.

I think Mitcho 2.0 will have new abilities unlocked when doctors "revive" him. But, he will be as fake as a Biden pardon signature.

Stop noticing the obvious. It isn't good for your health.

It also isn't healthy to notice that our Supreme Court now answers to the CCP ... except for two Justices. Ask Scalia what eventually happens when judges don't do what they are told.

[The SCIF @TheSCIF]

Maricopa County found to be running illegal ballot operations in the 2020/2022 Elections, with Runbeck employees processing, transporting, and permitted to inject as many ballots into the election "from home," all with no oversight or chain-of-custody.

Maricopa County was also breaking the seals on ballot containers during transport and not following Arizona law, or providing any chain-of-custody for drop box ballots.

A lawyer tried to convince the court that nothing illegal was done and that the ballots were still legal, but was quickly shut down, learning that he was indeed wrong, and by law, the ballots are then considered "INVALID," but were still counted in the 2020 election illegally anyway.

[The SCIF @TheSCIF]

Runbeck scanned more ballots than they received from Maricopa County in the 2020 election. Maricopa County and Runbeck's own numbers did NOT even match.

- 263,379 Ballot in
- 298,942 Ballots returned

Maricopa County didn't even know how many ballots they gave Runbeck when questioned in court, or that Runbeck employees can inject ballots into the count with NO chain of custody.

65 MILLION ballots were cast by mail in the 2020 election. This is more than DOUBLE than any other previous election, more than the system can handle, and a recipe for FRAUD. 2020 was stolen.

Dear CCP: I now collect foreign bribes since the Supreme Court eliminated my US citizenship (along with 300 million other former Americans).

I now toe the CCP party line.

The target was hit dead center. Warren, if you don't get in line, you will be next. Elaine Chao can easily find out where you live. Tread carefully.

MIC DROP: Iranian ambassador to the United Nations, Amir Saeid Iravani: “I have one word only: I advise to the representative of the United States to be polite. It will be better for yourself and the country you represent.”

U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Mike Waltz: “Frankly, I’m not going to dignify this with another response, especially, as this representative sits here, in this body, representing a regime that has killed tens of thousands of its own people and imprisoned many more simply for wanting freedom from your tyranny.”

NUKED!
