Visual Puzzles:

Which Parking Spot?
This visual brainteaser was spotted on a Hong Kong first-grade student admissions test, and it’s a great puzzle to encourage children to think laterally. Can you work it out? Apparently, children around the age of 6 are much more likely to solve this problem than older students and even adults.

Move one glass only…
In this visual brainteaser, students can see three glasses on the left that are full and three on the right that are empty. If they make one small change, they can make a row of alternately full and empty glasses, but they only do one change! What do they have to do?

Make 10
The matchstick test is a great problem-solving brainteaser. Students need to remove six matches to make 10. Which ones do they move?

America is about to discover…
…that many of the ‘stars’ created in Hollywood and in the music industry in the last 20-25 years…
are actual sexual perverts, rapists and pedophiles.
They were that before they were handpicked and elevated to being ‘stars’.
It’s WHY they were picked.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
This has to be surfaced S-L-O-W-L-Y in small, easily digestible chunks at a time for the American Collective Mind.
Their malfunctioning Censorship State and their broken Fake News Media Matrix will try like Hell to delay the coming reckoning for as long as they can.
I understand this is going to be extremely hard for some people to handle when it hits…that the ‘stars’ who’s music you love, and the actors who films you cherish…are just the handpicked puppets of a truly evil Machine that hides in the background, denying it exists and is there.
But it does exist. And it is there.
And crimes against children will unite humanity…against the demons in human form.

Good morning, Pat & Filly!
We’ve got a hurricane coming on Thu and Sally’s Dad and caregiver are watching Sally’s symptoms closely, just pain in side, nothing serious so far, and I’ve got a dermatology appt this morning to get them to look at a couple of spots and maybe do biopsies.
I’m getting tired of taking down the porch swing and putting it and the rocker inside the garage. Last time, I just dropped it to the porch floor and turned over the rocker. Maybe I’ll do it all after getting home from the Dr. office.
I have never put up hurricane shutters or put up plywood this far inland. The biggest danger is tornadoes spawned by the storm or trees falling.
The morning after a hurricane or tropical storm passes through, you can hear a symphony of chain saws and smell the pine wood and sap being sawed. The longest our power was out was 4 days with Hurricane Irma. I got ice from Publix (they run their stores on generators) and saved my food. Publix has hot coffee, internet if it’s up and food for people when the power is out! They haul in truckloads of ice and food wherever needed. Publix is a great company!

Report: After 6 Years Of Measly ‘Payments,’ Most Student Loan Borrowers Owe More Than When They Started
A recent report from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) provides helpful charts showing the many problems associated with the current federally subsidized loan program. As with many crises caused by government, the problem with student debt has many causes, and Democrats’ proposed “solution” — making all taxpayers responsible via massive “loan forgiveness” — would only make the problem worse.

The Biden administration and Congress have also poured billions into funding to stop old plants slated for closure from shutting down.”
“When you’re talking about expanded power needs from artificial intelligence, data centers needing to run basically at full capacity for 24 hours a day.There’s not a lot of alternatives outside of nuclear,” Ahn said. “It’s becoming a fairly clear that the tech companies are really intently looking at nuclear.”

EXCERPTS: “The Biden-Harris Justice Department’s decision to release the solicitation letter of the alleged would-be assassin of former President Donald Trump drew widespread outrage on Monday, including from former Attorney General William Barr, who said it violated the department’s longstanding rules about wannabe mass killers.
————–
The letter is part of the evidence federal prosecutors submitted in a hearing Monday to support keeping Routh detained pending trial. Routh has not been charged with attempted assassination. Barr, who served as attorney general during the Trump administration, blasted the DOJ for releasing the letter.
“I was dumbfounded that the DOJ made public this morning the contents of the letter that, Ryan Routh, left with an acquaintance prior to the attempted assassination of former President Trump,” Barr told Fox News on Monday.
“The letter calls on people to ‘finish the job’ of killing President Trump, attempts to rouse people in incendiary terms to do so, and offers $150,000 to anyone who succeeds,” he continued. “There was no apparent justification for releasing this information at this stage.”
————-
Others contrasted the DOJ’s decision in Routh’s case to its refusal to publicly release the manifesto of the transgender Nashville shooter.
“The same people who refused to show us the Covenant trans killer manifesto just released a bounty on President Trump for $150,000 by his would be assassin. Absolutely insane,” conservative activist and former GOP congressional candidate Robby Starbuck posted on X on Monday.
In March 2023, Audrey Hale opened fire on a private Christian school in Tennessee, killing six people, including three children. Hale was born female, but identified as a man, and had written a manifesto before the shooting….”

I’m not 100% sure how I feel about this issue but I agree with this guy about the appropriate way to go about changing the delegate count to “winner take all.” Leave it up to the people – I do believe that everyone’s voice should be represented. Whether we agree with the people in that particular District or not should be a moot point – they have just as much right to have their votes represented.
If Trump (or anyone, for that matter) needs that ONE delegate in order to win, well…something is wrong with this picture, IMO. But the other factors that can’t be denied are that this guy speaking out lives in that district and Jane Kleeb praised him – that should be a death knell!!! Don’t forget – Seth Rich worked for the Kleebs at one point.!
EXCERPT: “A Nebraska state Republican on Monday appeared to put a nail in the coffin for former President Donald Trump’s attempt to change how the state awards its electoral college votes.
Nebraska is one of two states that currently awards the votes based on Congressional districts, instead of winner-take-all. However, Trump and his allies are hoping to change the method to winner-take-all so he would win all five of the state’s electoral college points instead of the predicted four. Omaha usually votes Democrat.
Republican state Sen. Mike McDonnell released a statement opposing a potential change in the method for this election cycle, which is expected to end the attempt after Republican Gov. Jim Pillen said he would need the support of all 33 GOP state senators in order to call for a special session.
“Elections should be an opportunity for all voters to be heard, no matter who they are, where they live, or what party they support,” McDonnell said in a statement reported by the Nebraska Examiner. “After deep consideration, it is clear to me that right now, 43 days from Election Day, is not the moment to make this change.”
McDonnell said he suggested to Pillen that the state legislature send the topic of changing the electoral votes to the people of Nebraska through a constitutional amendment.
The Republican resides in the second district in Nebraska, which is based in Omaha. The district is the one that has split from the other four Congressional districts in two of the four previous elections. Trump won the district in 2016, but lost it to President Joe Biden in 2020. The district also voted Republican in 2012, but Democrat in 2008….”

“Where is the DOJ IG Report on January 6? Every government agency has filed a public report with findings of an internal investigation into the events of January 6–except the Department of Justice. What’s the holdup?”
Julie Kelly, Sep 24, 2024
EXCERPT: “With the four-year anniversary of January 6 fast approaching, every government agency is now on record with the results of an internal investigation about their role in the events of that day. Every agency, that is, except the Department of Justice.
Despite announcing on January 15, 2021 that he would conduct an inquiry into the Capitol protest, DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz has not issued a public report on his findings. On the IG’s website, the “Review Examining the Role and Activity of DOJ and its Components in Preparing for and Responding to the Events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021” is listed as “ongoing work.”
The inquiry undoubtedly is complex and wide-ranging. The DOJ was, by many accounts, the lead agency in charge of intelligence and security for January 6. Further, one can only imagine the stonewalling Horowitz is encountering from DOJ brass particularly at the FBI.
During congressional hearings, FBI Director Christopher Wray consistently refuses to discuss the number of FBI informants involved before and on January 6. Wray, in fact, becomes visibly agitated when he is asked a January 6-related question by a member of Congress.
In a heated exchange in July with Representative Victoria Spartz (R-Ind), Wray again declined to answer questions about the use of confidential human sources, commonly referred to as informants, on January 6: (Video clip)
Wray then noted that Horowitz is working on a report that “addresses some of these kinds of topics.” (Video clip)
But the FBI director’s indignation over suspicions that his agency was somehow involved in orchestrating the events of January 6 does not erase the fact that the FBI had numerous informants involved in the events of January 6.
The official record speaks for itself….”

BREAKING: The Kamala Harris/Joe Biden Department of Justice and FBI are mishandling and downplaying the second assassination attempt on my life since July. The charges brought against the maniac assassin are a slap on the wrist. It’s no wonder, since the DOJ and FBI have been coming after me nonstop with Weaponized Lawfare since I announced my first Historic Campaign for the Presidency.
From Russia, Russia, Russia, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, Iran, Iran, Iran, Impeachment Hoax Number One, Impeachment Hoax Number Two, to the Lawless Documents Hoax brought after an Illegal and unConstitutional Raid of my home, on which I am suing the DOJ for their wrongful acts, to the January 6th Hoax in Washington, D.C., where the J6 Unselect Committee illegally deleted and destroyed all Documents, the Manhattan D.A.’s Zombie Case, the New York A.G. Scam, illegally Spying on my Campaign, to censoring the Hunter Biden Laptop from Hell, which was criminally led by the fake 51 Intelligence Officials who lied and claimed it was “Russian Interference and Disinformation,” while the Laptop was, in fact, Hunter Biden – Not Russia, and exposed Crooked Joe and his family for their decades of grift – and many lawless, Radical attacks against their Political Opponent, ME.
The DOJ and FBI have a Conflict of Interest since they have been obsessed with “Getting Trump” for so long. It’s very difficult to trust the Biden/Harris DOJ/FBI to investigate the assassination attempts, due to Election Interference and the FAKE CASES brought against me, including their control over local D.A.s and A.G.s. Shockingly, after the bullet went through my ear on that fateful day in Butler, Pennsylvania, the FBI Director went before Congress and falsely said that it may not have been a bullet, “It was just glass or shrapnel” – a lie condemned by even my worst enemies. What he said was disgraceful, especially since it was witnessed LIVE by millions of people, and he was forced to immediately retract.
If the DOJ and FBI cannot do their job honestly and without bias, and hold the aspiring assassin responsible to the full extent of the Law, Governor Ron DeSantis and the State of Florida have already agreed to take the lead on the investigation and prosecution. Florida charges would be much more serious than the ones the FBI has announced. The TRUTH would be followed, wherever it leads. OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM IS CORRUPT AND DISCREDITED, especially as it pertains to the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. LET FLORIDA HANDLE THE CASE!

BREAKING: An organization called the Haitian Bridge Alliance has filed criminal charges against President Trump and JD Vance in Springfield, Ohio, claiming that they led an effort to “vilify and threaten the Haitian community in Springfield.””Together, they spread and amplified the debunked claim that Haitian immigrants in Springfield are eating pets, including cats, dogs, and wildlife. The criminal charge asks the court to affirm probable cause that they committed multiple crimes and issue arrest warrants against Trump and Vance.”I thought this was a parody for a second, but it’s real.
They claim Trump and Vance’s words endanger their lives

Just The News: “A chemical leak from a train car has prompted evacuations in Whitewater Township, Ohio,
“DANGEROUS chemical leak near State Route 128. IMMEDIATELY GO INDOORS and stay inside until further notice. Close and seal off doors & windows, close fireplace dampers, and turn off heat,” the Hamilton County EMA posted on X.
The train did not derail, a local official told Fox News. Leaking from an open valve is Styrene, a flammable liquid.
“At approximately 1 p.m. this afternoon, Central Railroad of Indiana (CIND) was notified of a railcar in the vicinity of Cleves, Ohio, venting styrene,” Central Road of Indiana said in a statement, obtained by WLWT. “The local fire department is onsite, and environmental response agencies have been mobilized.”
“We are fully cooperating with first responders, who will determine any evacuation orders,” the statement continued. “We ask all those in the area to follow first responder orders and to stay clear of the scene so that we can contain the incident as safely, quickly and effectively as possible. We will provide periodic updates as we learn more.”
The incident comes after a high-profile train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, last year that saw toxic chemicals leak from the railcars and force the evacuation of the town.”

Spittin’ into the wind!
Just The News: “The House Foreign Affairs Committee voted along party lines Tuesday to advance a contempt of Congress resolution against Secretary of State Antony Blinken who failed to comply with a subpoena to testify.
The contempt resolution is the latest effort by the committee to compel Secretary Blinken’s testimony on the Biden administration’s chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal that saw the Taliban seize control of the country and 13 U.S. service members die in a terrorist attack.
The measure, approved by the committee in a 26-25 party-line vote, will now advance to the full chamber.
If the House approves the measure, the Justice Department would still have to prosecute the violation, which it has refused to do in the case of Attorney General Merrick Garland, who was held in contempt by the Republican-led Congress earlier this year.
Blinken was subpoenaed on September 3 and 18 to compel testimony before the committee. However, the secretary failed to appear at the hearing, scheduled for Tuesday, citing scheduling conflicts with the United Nations General Assembly in New York.”
