Loves: My 6 children. God who gave me 4 sons and 2 beautiful daughters. 12 grandchildren and growing numbers of greats. Everyday I thank God for my wife Annie.
Even though I follow Erik Prince's channel, I realize I need to view his posts daily. His daily briefs are very thorough and chock-full of great newsworthy events.
Go big or go home. What a stud. These are the shoulders of giants we stand upon. He could have whined and claimed he was "disenfranchised" but no he signs the Declaration of Independence with his home address. The equivalent of Cortes burning his ships, the wealthiest man in America personally declares war against the Crown for Liberty. These are men worth honoring and remembering.
Okay, "Imagine no heaven. No religion too."
John Lennon's "Empty World" or "Universe" is not the one I choose to live and believe in.
I stand as a witness that God lives and that He can reveal Himself in many powerful spiritual ways that are impossible to deny. I dare not deny the powerful witnesses He has shown me.
I am reminded of this Psalms written by King David.
Note: The word 'Selah' invites the reader or singer to stop, take a breath, and deeply reflect on the truth that was just spoken.
Psalms 24 (KJV)
3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?
4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.
7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.
The LA Democratic Machine has no fear of blatantly stoking the ballots for their preferred candidate. Zero ballots for Pratt in the latest 24,000 ballot drop. Why doesn't this cause an outrage?
The question now is: will the DOJ seize the ballots in LA for an investigation into the obvious political fraud in that election system?
We saw evidence similar to this in the 2020 election in several states, such as Wisconsin, where at 3 AM on election night, only ballots for Biden were counted, giving him an outrageous come-from-behind "win" for that state and the nation. Nowhere in an honest world is that sort of statistic possible unless politically manipulated. That requires a huge, politically criminal organization to pull that off in America.

In the Wisconsin 2020 election night ballot count, you see the blue line, representing ballots counted at 3 AM, go straight up for Biden. That too is statistically impossible. What you see is voting count fraud. As in LA, 0 ballots for Trump in the 2020 election and all two million ballots for Biden. History repeats when fraud is NOT rooted out! This is how Joe Biden got his 20 million extra votes that were never seen before or since that national election.
Who controls the media, the cities, and the state governments? California and much of the Pacific West Coast have become deeply entrenched one-party political strongholds. When voters continuously elect mayors, governors, and representatives who advance increasingly progressive and state-centered policies, the consequences should surprise no one. The political transformation of the Pacific Coast did not happen overnight, nor was it imposed without consent — it happened because citizens repeatedly endorsed it at the ballot box.
What many Americans once viewed as a distant ideological influence has now become woven into the policies and priorities of elected leadership itself. These are no longer fringe activists operating on the margins; they are public officials shaping education, law enforcement, economic policy, media narratives, and the direction of major public institutions.
If citizens want to change the course of their cities and states, that change will not come from outrage alone. It will come only when voters elect leaders who place the interests of the people, public accountability, economic stability, and individual freedoms above rigid political ideology."
Spencer Pratt got 0 out of 24,000 votes in a late night LA ballot drop.
0/24,000
A guy getting around 30% support got 0 out of 24,000.
Astronomically small probability of happening.
Impossible.
California no longer even hides it.
Doors need to be kicked in.
N. Walters, have you seen this?
Walters
The surname Walters saw a significant decrease between 2000 and 2010, dropping 88 places in rank, from 262nd to 350th. Over this period, it lost 14,905 bearers, reflecting a 14.3% decline in popularity.
Walters is an English variant of the Germanic surname Walter. In England, it is a patronymic form of Walter, meaning “son of Walter,” and is commonly found in both German and English-speaking traditions. “Walter” is derived from Old German “walt” (“rule”) and “heri” (“army”), and means “commander of the army.”

Cotton, of course.
Cotton is King in Kern County. Below is what I recall in our skies there.
The skies of Bakersfield and the broader San Joaquin Valley transition from clear, sun-baked autumn blue to a low-visibility, gray, and stagnant inversion layer during the late-fall cotton harvest. The two big economic engines of Kern County? Oil and Agriculture. My friend who counted bugs said, "I could hear them eat!"
@its_mizuko_ The pattern I saw was:
11 X 8 = 88
10 X 7 = 70
9 X 6 = 54
8 X 5 = 40
7 X 4 = 28
6 X 3 = 18<== ANSWER
I couldn't think of another way or method.
Minnesota's "dynamic duo" of political power: Tim Walz and Keith Ellison. Real-life examples of "truth, justice, and the American way?" Do any other states with similar "dynamic duo teams" come to anyone's mind?
If I were treated the way Wesley Hunt and his father were in the South, I would still be mad about it today, some 60-plus years after the Civil Rights laws were passed by the LBJ Administration and the Republican Party's support in the northern states in the mid-1960s.
For President Johnson to get his Civil Rights Act passed, he needed the votes of northern Republicans in both the Senate and the House.
The voting records reveal that the 1960s Civil Rights bills were not decided along standard party lines but rather along sharp regional divides. During this era, both major parties were internally fractured, with a bipartisan coalition of Northern Democrats and Republicans pushing the legislation past a fierce blockade of Southern Democrats and Southern Republicans. Because Republicans lacked a significant Southern presence at the time, they voted for these bills at a higher rate than the Democratic majority.
For example, during the final vote for the Civil Rights Act of 1964:
Northern Democrats overwhelmingly supported the bill, voting 144–4 in the House and 45–1 in the Senate.
Southern Democrats overwhelmingly rejected it, voting 9–87 in the House and 1–20 in the Senate.
This internal polarization within the Democratic party meant President Lyndon B. Johnson absolutely needed the help of Republican leadership, specifically Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen, to rally Midwestern Republicans and secure enough votes to defeat the Southern filibusters.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has frequently condemned Republican legislative efforts, particularly those endorsed by Donald Trump, as "Jim Crow 2.0" tactics designed to restrict voting access.
Specific examples of his remarks include:
• On the SAVE Act: In March 2026, Schumer explicitly labeled the Republican-backed SAVE Act as "Jim Crow 2.0". He argued that tying federal government funding to the passage of this legislation was a ploy by Trump to disenfranchise tens of millions of voters.
Who are these "tens of millions of voters?" Are they the 15 or 20 million illegal aliens that Joe Biden allowed to cross our "closed" borders during his Presidency? I think that is exactly so. Estimates are as high as 30 million who crossed our borders in that four-year period of his presidency.
• On Proof of Citizenship Legislation: During a February 2026 floor and media push, Schumer criticized Trump's ultimatum regarding proof of citizenship at the ballot box. He stated that the GOP efforts would functionally disenfranchise massive swaths of the electorate, making it "Jim Crow 2.0".
• On General Voter Suppression: Throughout Trump's post-2020 pushes to overhaul election laws, Schumer repeatedly described Republican legislative stances as direct attempts at voter suppression designed to guarantee minority rule in upcoming elections.
I say: "Schumer's statements are blatant falsehoods." Shame on him for playing the "race card" when, to me, it clearly isn't. The issues Schumer has spoken about are his attempts to allow non-citizens to vote in our elections. He is pushing that issue because he, Joe Biden, and the Democrats in the House and Senate have allowed over 15 million, maybe even more than 20 million illegal aliens to cross our country's borders, many being violent criminals, and the Democrats want all of their votes in our elections.
For me, this is simple: a high-stakes power play in politics. The Democratic Party is the political party that enslaved nearly 4 million people. Eleven of the then 34 states seceded from the Union.
Why did the northern states fight the southern states? Let me put it this way: "Was the main issue of the northern Democrats at the start of the Civil War about freeing the slaves? Or, was it to save the Union?" Also, what was the goal of the Republican Party at the beginning of the Civil War?
President Lincoln withheld his Emancipation Proclamation until the Union Army won a major battle. The Union victory at the Battle of Antietam on September 17, 1862, provided President Abraham Lincoln with the necessary political and military strength to issue the Emancipation Proclamation.
I am grateful to President Lincoln for his stance to free America's slaves. Now we must also throw off the Democratic Party's push to turn our country towards a socialist and an outright Marxist communist state. This conflict is occurring during our country's 250th Anniversary of the signing of our Declaration of Independence.
My father grew up in the segregated South.
He had to walk around to the BACK of a restaurant just to order a sandwich because he was black.
THAT was Jim Crow.
Not showing a photo ID to vote.
You need an ID to:
• Board a plane
• Cash a check
• Buy alcohol
• Enter federal buildings
But suddenly showing an ID to vote is “racist”?
Give me a break.
This is not civil rights.
This is political theater.
The Democrat Party survives by manufacturing grievance because they have nothing else to run on.
Comparing voter ID laws to segregation is not just dishonest, it is insulting to the people who actually lived through Jim Crow.
Asking Americans to prove they are who they say they are when they cast their vote is called common sense.
When I attended college at the University of the Pacific, School of Engineering, in Stockton, California, from 1975 through the end of 1977, I had two lab assistants learning digital systems in late 1976. One of my two lab partners was from Beirut, Lebanon, and the other was from Kuwait City.
My lab assistant from Beirut told me his city was once called the "Paris of the Mediterranean Sea." He said Beirut was once so beautiful. Sophisticated. But by late 1976, all of Lebanon fell into a civil war zone.
Sarah, did not Yasir Arafat, the head of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), make Beirut his home base and utilize this city as a major hub for armed struggles and militant operations against Israel?
If you could have picked a year to stop this madness so Beirut could be saved, what year would you choose? Or, do you like what it has become? If you could change it, what would Beirut, and the whole of Lebanon, and the Middle East look like to you?
In 1976, I had to go home and look at a world map to see where Kuwait, the country and its capital city, was located. By August 2, 1990, when Saddam Hussein's Iraqi army invaded Kuwait, the whole world knew where Kuwait, the country and city, was.
Same question as before. At what point in history would you choose to freeze Kuwait?
What boundaries and politics would you pick for this map of the world?
Twisted Fate, you caught my error.
I see that I transcribed the original formula incorrectly:
2 - 3 x 3 + 3
instead of
2 - 2 x 3 + 3
I see my old bad habits have returned from my 1967 freshman year in college. However, my solution steps are still valid for the formula I transcribed. Others can still learn from what I presented.
Correction:
2 - 2 x 3 + 3
= 2 - (2 x 3) + 3
= 2 - 6 + 3
= 5 - 6
= - 1
As you pointed out.
Good that you pointed that out... I hate making these silly errors.
Within 3 minutes, she got her important message across to this legislative body. This courageous woman should be interviewed by every national news network. Won't be done, will it? Why is that?
Chicago woman mocks Democrats by speaking in a squeaky, high-pitched voice, who say black people's voting rights are in danger.
The woman also called out the commissioners one by one to their faces.
"I'm 63 years old. I've been voting since I was 18. I have never had a problem voting..."
"So now you're all gonna drag black people in here, definitely some senior citizens, and gonna have them come up here and talk about how they're scared to vote... all that junk, when you know it's not true."
@BhattiLaib9960 In my head, this is how I calculated the problem of simple addition:
4 x 1,000 = 4,000
Added: 40 + 30 +20 + 10 = 100
Combine the above to give the final
answer: 4,000 + 100 = 4,100<== ANSWER
Interesting fact: My baby sister is 19 years younger than me! When my parents asked what to name our surprise addition, I said "Joy." For more than 50 years, the whole family has called her "Joy Joy." Fun fact: She may not know you are addressing her with a single cryout of "Joy."
@_Ohene_Adjei@Maziitundee Again, I got carried away with my long story. Apparently, who was left in the room? The original 50, the killer, and what I got wrong was myself, who also entered the room.
Utah, the Beehive State. Utah has 5 national parks. Famously known as "The Mighty Five."
Here is a question someone should explore on X: "I have been in all 5 national parks. Who else has been to all "Might Five"?
Somehow, this state's name has been associated with the five Ute Indian, or Native American, tribes. Those tribes were present during the 2002 Winter Olympic ceremonies. Utah will host those games again in February 2034.
