I have spent a few words describing the despicable decisions of the English. But if the English people decide and manage to expel their parasites, then I reverse my words and applaud them for choosing a better future. I wish them the best. But they have to choose it.
Yea, it's cRaZy how much crap they've put up with. I'd all but written them off as a lost cause.

Not sure where to put this.... searched for twin towers and got nothing...
9/11 - How did we miss this?
Voice recordings from the hijacked planes reveal an accent closer to Hebrew than Arabic.
And remember that several of the "Muslim hijackers" were alive after 9/11.
The truth is being covered up.

President Donald Trump says the federal government is spending so much on war that it can’t afford programs like day care and health care.
“The United States can’t take care of day care. That has to be up to a state,” Trump said during a White House event (1). “We’re fighting wars. We can’t take care of day care.”

It's not the job of the Federal government to fund daycare and healthcare.
I'm with ya on getting rid of it.
Why would politicians want the same crappy health care they force on everyone else?
Best answer is just get rid of all of it.
Also ban health insurance and keep gov out of anything even related to health care.
Just doing that alone would at the least, cut health care costs in half. Prolly more.
All insurance and gov involvement does is to make it more expensive.

Strategic Overview - Trump and Xi: How History Unfolds - May 18, 2026
In this Promethean Action strategic overview (May 18, 2026), host Tony Papert and Bruce Director argue that mainstream and social-media narratives have inverted the real dynamics of the past week. Director says the Trump–Xi summit was misread because its central achievement was strengthening a direct leader-to-leader relationship, rejecting academic “rules” like the debunked “Thucydides Trap,” and signaling a new great-power approach also involving Putin. He then disputes claims that Iran holds the leverage, citing mediation through regional leaders and Trump’s announcement that a planned U.S. strike was paused while serious negotiations proceed, conditioned on “no nuclear weapons for Iran.” Director also contrasts media pessimism with signs of industrial and defense-sector job growth and innovation despite high fuel and grocery costs. Finally, he highlights legal rulings, redistricting shifts, recent primary upsets, the Los Angeles mayor’s race, and escalating DOJ scrutiny of Russiagate as improving Republican midterm prospects.00:00 Welcome and Setup

The globalists are using the low-IQ inbred muzlims as a proxy hoard to overrun countries. Once their "useful idiots" have done this, the globalists will simply kill them just as past communists have always done to their useful idiots. This also goes for the purple-hair, nose ring idiots in this country. Let's face it, they're pretty much unemployable so why not use them as brownshirts.

suddenly, it's not a conspiracy any more....
Kenya WITHDRAWS from the WHO because it discovered that the tetanus vaccine was combined with a sterilizing agent.
“We can no longer afford to trust the World Health Organization”
“Vaccines have reduced fertility”
The Supreme Court also suspended Bill Gates' procedural immunity
or is it?
"The X post recirculates a video of Kenyan doctor Wahome Ngare alleging a 2014-2015 WHO tetanus vaccination campaign in Kenya used a fertility-regulating vaccine containing hCG to cause sterility, claiming this prompted Kenya's withdrawal from the WHO.
"Kenya has not withdrawn from the WHO and remains a member state; the tetanus vaccine sterility claims from 2014 were investigated and rejected by Kenyan health authorities, WHO, and UNICEF, with independent tests showing no hCG in the vaccines." ~ Grok.
@Grok, how come people can't make themselves factcheck this shit before they post it?

Apparently, there is a rain storm in NY City
Nobody is telling you how FUCKED New York City's infrastructure actually is right now.
Everyone is watching the flood footage. The cars underwater. The subway stations turned into swimming pools.
Nobody is talking about the fact that six inches of rain just paralyzed a global city.
Not a hurricane. Not a once-in-a-century storm. Six inches. In a few hours. And the Long Island Expressway shut down in both directions. The F train suspended. Flash flood warnings across every borough.
By rain.
→ Cost of fixing this: deferred for decades
→ Cost of not fixing it: the entire city grinds to a halt
→ That is not a weather problem. That is a maintenance problem.
NYC's catch-basin cleaning fleet was 63% out of service during prior storms. By end of 2023 it was 77% out of service. The city had 19 functional trucks for five boroughs.
Nineteen trucks. For eight million people.
Here's what nobody is explaining to you:
This doesn't just change THIS storm. This changes ALL storms. Forever.
→ NYC has 7,400 miles of combined storm and sewer pipes that back up the moment rainfall exceeds capacity
→ Many of those pipes are over 100 years old — built before cars existed, let alone SUVs and modern runoff volumes
→ Fewer than half of the city's 964 priority catch basins were inspected before recent storms hit
→ This exact same thing happened in 2023. And 2025. Same expressway. Same subway lines. Same excuses.
→ The city knows which drains are clogged. They have a data-driven priority list.
→ They just don't have the trucks to clean them.
→ So every time it rains hard, the same streets flood, the same trains stop, the same headlines run.
→ And then nothing changes until the next storm proves it again.
The source tweet said it directly: "Six inches of rain shouldn't do this to a major city, but clogged drains and years of deferred maintenance will."
That's not a weather forecast. That's a confession.
New York spent decades deferring the maintenance bill. May 21, 2026 is what the invoice looks like.

Adys Lastres Morera is the sister of the Executive President of GAESA, the Cuban military-controlled financial conglomerate that steals millions in aid for the Cuban people at the behest of the regime.
Morera was managing real estate assets and living in Florida, while also aiding Havana's communist regime, until I terminated her permanent resident status.
I am pleased to announce that today, she was arrested and is now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
There will be nowhere on this Earth - much less in our country - where foreign nationals who threaten our national security can live lavishly.

FYI
This should turn out like AAPL, MSFT, INTC...
SpaceX just filed its S-1 yesterday for a Nasdaq listing under ticker **SPCX**. Roadshow starts early June, with pricing and debut expected mid-June.
Retail investors can't directly "buy into" the IPO allocation like institutions. Talk to your broker about expressing interest (limited spots, not guaranteed). Otherwise, buy shares on the open market once it starts trading.
Not financial advice—do your own research.

Many have asked me what the hell is going on with this US Navy Admiral who appears to be wearing a skin mask on Fox
Hmmm...
GROK: Raw broadcast review shows the odd neck line results from studio lighting, HD camera angles, skin folds, and video compression artifacts rather than prosthetics, a recurring effect in TV close-ups that fueled the meme-like attention.

Space Aliens? Asteroid Impacts? Operation Paperclip, the Order of the Black Sun?
Scientists who were experts on space programs have been missing or killed?
After all, everything about UFO’s and extraterrestrial life has always been classified as the highest top secret. Even presidents are not allowed to know. The normal procedure for government officials regarding this topic is to tell people ‘I don’t know anything about it’. Not denying nor confirming.
We, the people, are not supposed to know. We are supposed to look at the skies and see weather balloons or satellites in every unexplained phenomenon. We are supposed to stay calm and trusting, while watching movies on alien invasions and intergalactic battles.
So what is going on now?
