Owning a rifle and knowing how to use it is the solemn duty of every patriot.

Excellent Mexican restaurant, Kekis Cafe in Fremont, Ohio. It's worth going out of your way!

@GringoElCamino @PolitiBunny *Almost everyone. You're not wrong, sadly. I'm blessed with 36 acres of heaven, otherwise I'd move to New Hampshire.

Stay strong, patriot!

Thanks pal. It just gets more and more tragic here in Vermont. I moved here 30 years ago because it was the closest place to where my new wife's family lived, across the border in Quebec, I didn't realize what a stupid blue-haired DEI state it was until it was too late. Now this? Fuck!

You all know the work she has been doing for months and years.

You all know the way she has been rooting out corruption in our federal government.

Apparently her talent got noticed, and she answered the call--ON THE SIDE OF THE GOOD GUYS.

I'll repeat what I said in a post yesterday:

"If you are one of those people who keep insisting she is some sort of paid information warfare operative as part of whatever conspiracy du jour has infested your inflamed cerebral cortex, you can just stick it, idiot."

*************
Also, consider the personal cost as to what she is doing. Is there any doubt as to why good people are unwilling to help the government when massive social media character assassination is the price you must pay?

Do you know who the "dollar-a-year men" were during WWII? (It's an easy lookup.) I submit that if social media had existed then, those men would never have performed the amazing patriotic duties they performed.

I applaud DR for putting her sweat and blood into the arena, even knowing the cost.

@ZyMazza And the echoes of the years passed continue to shape how you react to the "here and now". The memories of love and grief, and of smoking in a coffee shop. It's quite amazing.

the idea that we should just give up on western civilization norms of peace and policing in the common areas and gleefully race back to walled enclaves is defeatist

no

we should fight to defend our civilization and our commons

walled compounds are the final stage of defeat

Yes. If by success you mean did her appearance affirm the reality of what was always suspected. Tulsi put herself into the position that permits more people to accept the scale of corruption's entrenchment.

@TulsiGabbard put herself there, said nothing just stood there, and immediately you got to witness the DC Eye of Sauron light her up. If you were watching, you could see for the first time *some* people looked to the source of that malevolent light. For some it was the first time bearing witness. So yes, that was successful.

No. If by successful you mean she stopped the FBI from burying the material, they were sent to capture. The FBI operation was successful in their motive. Tulsi's appearance, however, drew attention to the material they were capturing as they captured it.

You will never see the material. You will never see a righteous outcome from the material. That stuff is gone forever into the same vault as Hunter Biden's laptop etc. However, there is now a citable example of the operation, led by the FBI as they were conducting the capture itself. That makes DC uncomfortable.

In essence, Tulsi Gabbard created an imprint that cannot be erased. Years from now a citation to that moment can trigger a response that says, "oh yeah, whatever happened to that?".... and slowly another small group of people will be forced to look deeply within themselves and stop pretending.

When the assembly reaches a mass of non-pretenders that exceeds the capability of DC to retain pretenses, then -in that moment- the spark of possibility for change comes forth.

“It is no small thing, to restore a republic after it had fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may have been that our task was impossible. Yet, if we did not try then how would we know it could not be done? And if we did not try, it most certainly would not be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, would have been lost.”

“But I tell you this: We did not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we made with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from this day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

On May 9th Carney met with Obama.

On July 7th Carney announced the new Canada-based financial institution called the Defense, Security and Resilience Bank (DSRB).

..."[…] Leveraging a strong credit rating, the Bank will provide long-term, low-cost financing for defence, security, and resilience initiatives across supply chains.”

https://t.co/ehRZlxGU67

When you see the term “resilience initiatives” think climate change. Specifically, think carbon capture and carbon trading mechanisms. 

The DSRB banking approach, in combination with Chrystia Freeland heading the Ukraine Economic Development operation, then takes us to the carbon capture deal with Alberta [carbon capture and storage (CCS) project] and then, wait for it,….

The TKMS submarine purchase contract with Germany.

https://t.co/3oqZRs0NeG

https://t.co/4VSwfjsGPG

https://t.co/3invsGUelu

You see, unbeknownst to most people, TKMS has a subsidiary that was just founded, literally just founded weeks before Carney announced the $20 to $30 billion submarine contract.

https://t.co/6GbzCnlf3O

In announcing the TKMS contract, CBC noted: “The German government also proposed establishing a carbon capture facility deploying TKMS technology in partnership with Alberta.” That would be TKMS Calvion GmbH (TKMS-CG) which was a company formed within TKMS on May 16, 2026.

https://t.co/VRp7d6n7fA

https://t.co/6GbzCnlf3O

So, think about this.  Mark Carney tells Alberta Premier Danielle Smith that a condition for the Alberta pipeline is authorization of a carbon capture scheme that will be contracted to the recently created subsidiary of TKMS, TKMS-CG. who Carney knows is about to get the submarine contract.   Pretty slick.

All of this spending (military and resilience initiatives) then becomes part of Canada meeting their NATO obligations, which will be wrapped into a NEW BANK (DRSB) controlled by Mark Carney, Volodymyr Zelenskyy and likely Chrystia Freeland, and funded (at least in part) by Canadian taxpayer money flowing to Ukraine.  All other nations within DRSB providing the patina of credibility to hide the laundry.

The “private sector” investments, noted within the banking charter, will almost certainly stem from companies like TKMS and TKMS-CG, who will create a circular process. 

Taxpayer funds to TKMS. TKMS funds to bank. Bank funds to TKMS-CG. With Carney, Zelenskyy and Freeland prepositioning investments ahead of the arrival of deposits.

https://t.co/ehRZlxGU67

During his visit to New York, Prime Minister Mark Carney is quoted as saying, “the world is undergoing a rupture, led by the United States. Technological change is accelerating at a pace we have not seen in our lifetime. The U.S. is transforming all its commercial relationships, as is its right. The world is becoming more divided and dangerous. Canada has responded quickly to these shifts by diversifying our partnerships abroad. We have to care ourselves and be true to ourselves.” Given the nature of Carney’s anti-Trump political advocacy, he could say nothing else.

However, there is no independent Canada economic construct that can survive a disconnect from the United States.  There is no ‘partnership’ with Europe and/or China, or a combination of partnerships, that can replace the one-way nature of the subsidies from the U.S. economy that Canada enjoys.

If the Canadian people, workers and companies therein, have to rely on their own domestic economic activity to fund their GDP, their lifestyle will have to modify in very significant ways.

One large example that will no longer work is the Canadian energy policy.  No country is going to align with Canada to assemble goods for the American market if there is no way for the product to enter the United States.

If the U.S. blocks Chinese steel as a component good, then Canada has to make their own steel for whatever the product is.  The same applies to every raw material that is then processed at the industrial level before it takes the form of a component part.  Canada will have to extract the raw material, transition it via dirty carbon emitting industrial processes, then mold that product into the component – regardless of the finished product.  The Canadian economy is no longer set up to do this at scale.

Canada extracts a vast amount of raw material; but then ships that material elsewhere for industrial modification at scale (example: oil to fuel, wood to lumber, Canola oil into xxxx, etc.).  Shut down the transition phase of the product due to trade agreement conflicts with the USA and Canada is left with a bunch of raw materials they then need to sell at a discount to Europe and Asia.

Previously, in almost every FTA, the EU and Asia would purchase these materials in exchange for using Canada’s proximity as a gateway to the USA market. 

The EU and Asia trading or selling back component goods, Canada assembling them and shipping the item into the USA.  Take the United States market out of this equation and what happens to the Canadian economy and all of those previous free trade agreements with third party countries?

We've hung together for a few years now, and I gotta say, this is the worst take I've ever seen from you. Being a visionary like Musk, being a world changer like Musk, being someone that the world has never seen - like Musk, is beyond the small judgements of minnows like us. I am delighted to be seeing him being who he is, doing what he does, changing the world in ways never imagined by the most creative sci-fi writers of the world, ever.

@JLEcheverria640 What a great view while you chop.

[TheLastRefuge @TheLastRefuge2]

Contrast this story against the recent narrative from U.S. and Ukraine news coming out of the NATO summit about this moment right now being the strongest moment ever for U.S-Ukraine relations.

Notice how the two narratives are polar opposite?

Same as the Ukraine drone campaign being the most brilliant and effective campaign. So, Zelenskyy fired the guy in charge of the drone campaign.

Polar opposite narratives. One fabricated, one reality.

Same as the Donbas regional fighting where Ukraine was defeating the Russian forces and stopping any territorial losses. So, Zelenskyy fired the military commander in charge of defeating Russian forces in the Donbas region.

Two polar opposite narratives. One sold in press, the other carried out in real action.

It is all propaganda. All of it.

Grok Build is an incredible app. Something that finally realizes the power of my computer. It sits on top of grok 4.5 and will do anything I tell it to do, in plain English, as an assistant with the ability to open files and write files, and open Amazon pages to find comparative products for me to buy.

I have it running a daily search for a small boat on Craig's List, complete with multiple parameters, and then returning a list of candidates that will open in a browser window when I click on them!

I'm just getting started with it, but man-oh-man is it going to do some great things for me.

Tyranny in Five Easy Steps:

1. Have a woke communist institution do a "study" promoting woke communist policies.

2. Justify woke communist policies by citing study from woke communist institution.

3. Enact woke communist policy, destroying American healthcare.

4. Have woke communist institution do another study promoting the additional woke communist policies needed to fix the problems caused by the first set of woke communist policies while pretending the real issue is the free market.

5. Wash, rinse, repeat.
