  3. Good morning, Pat!

    I’ve heard of Knox Blox for years, but never made or eaten them.

    Gelatin is supposed to help you grow strong fingernails. Do they have to be made with water? Substituting juices to go with the flavors of the gelatin might make them a bit more nutritious.

    For a similar treat (including nuts!) here are some recipes for homemade Aplets and Cotlets.

    They were once sold by Harry & David, and we received a box as a gift one time.  

    They are so good that they stuck in my memory….and I began to want some more.    

    But Aplets and Cotlets are fairly expensive and not available locally, so I looked up some recipes at the end of September and found they are also called Turkish Delight.

    Here are the recipes I found – complicated recipes first followed by the easy ones.

    RECIPE I – What’s Cooking America – *https://whatscookingamerica.net/Candy/AppleCandy.htm

    Northwest Apple Candy – APLETS

    Ingredients
    • 1 cup Delicious apples, chopped (red or golden)
    • Cold water
    • 5 tablespoons reserved apple liquid
    • 2 cups granulated sugar
    • 3 1/2 envelopes of unflavored gelatin (8 3/4 teaspoons or approximately 3 tablespoons)*
    • 1 cup water, cold
    • 1/8 teaspoon rose culinary essence or 1 tablespoon rose water**
    • 1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
    • Powdered sugar (confectioners’ sugar)

    Instructions
    • Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper or plastic wrap(this will make for a much easier removal of the Aplets).
    • In a large saucepan over medium heat, add chopped apples and enough cold water to cover apples by 1 inch.  Bring to a boil; boil 1 minute, stirring constantly.  Turn heat to low and simmer another 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Remove from heat.
    • Drain off liquid, reserving 5 tablespoons apple liquid.  In a food processor, puree apples with reserved apple liquid until smooth.  Return apple mixture back to saucepan over low, add sugar and heat and stir just until sugar is melted.  Remove from heat.
    • In a small bowl, combine gelatin and cold water; add to apple/sugar mixture, stirring constantly until dissolved.  Add rose culinary essence (or lemon juice) and walnuts; stir until well blended.
    • Pour into prepared pan; cool at least 2 hours but preferably overnight.
    • With an oiled knife, cut into 1-inch squares, then roll in powdered sugar (I found that I needed to roll the Aplets in the powdered sugar more than one time).
    • Store, covered, in the refrigerator.
    • Makes 64 candy squares.

    Northwest Apricot Candy – COTLETS

    Ingredients:• 6 ounces apricots, dried• Cold water• 5 tablespoons reserved apricot liquid• 2 cups granulated sugar• 3 1/2 envelopes of unflavored gelatin (8 3/4 teaspoons or approximately 3 tablespoons)*• 1 cup water, cold• 1 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh-squeezed• 1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped• Powdered sugar (confectioners’ sugar)

    Instructions:• Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper or plastic wrap (this will make for a much easier removal of the Cotlets).

    • Drain off liquid, reserving 5 tablespoons apricot liquid; set aside.
    • In a food processor, puree apricots with reserved apricot liquid until smooth.  Return apricot mixture back to saucepan over low, add sugar and heat and stir just until sugar is melted.  Remove from heat.
    • In a small bowl, combine gelatin and cold water; add to apricot/sugar mixture, stirring constantly until dissolved.  Add lemon juice and walnuts; stir until well blended.

    Recipe Notes
    * One envelope of unflavored granulated gelatin = approximately 1/4 ounce = approximately 2 1/2 teaspoons.  Learn how to use Gelatin in your cooking and also the history of Gelatin, Gelatine, and JELL-O.  Granulated or powdered gelatin, gelatin sheet, or instant gelatin can be used interchangeably in your recipes.  In order to achieve the correct results when preparing recipes includes gelatin, you must be able to handle gelatin properly and incorporate it correctly.

  5. Good morning, Pat, Kea, GA and whoever else chooses to visit! Wheezer had his first dose of wormer in the wee hours – I put it out at about 2:30 am (no sign of him) and when I got up a couple of hours later, he was asleep on the chair and the food/wormer was gone. 2nd dose is prepared and ready for tonight. I don’t expect to see much of a difference until some time has passed to see if he’s gained any weight. He’s a cross between a short/long hair so it’s very difficult to tell by his coat.

    Another day, more craziness I expect….I wonder – are both Bongino and Kash going to quit unless Bondi goes? I would take either of them over her any day of the week!!!! We shall see….and let the games begin!

  6. Just The News: “President Donald Trump on Friday night said he was directing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and border czar Tom Homan to instruct all immigration and border security officers to protect themselves from assaults.

    The social media post occurred as the president travels from Texas, where he met with officials and families of people who lost loved ones in recent flooding, to New Jersey for the weekend. Trump claimed the announcement was triggered by witnessing people throwing rocks and bricks at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and their vehicles. 

    “I am on my way back from Texas, and watched in disbelief as THUGS were violently throwing rocks and bricks at ICE officers while they were moving down a roadway in their car and/or official vehicle,” Trump posted to Truth Social. “Tremendous damage was done to these brand new vehicles. I know for a fact that these Officers are having a hard time with allowing this to happen in that it shows such total disrespect for LAW AND ORDER.”

    Trump instructed Noem and Homan to allow their teams to use “whatever means is necessary” to arrest people who throw the items at law enforcement officers, in order to protect themselves.

    “I am giving Total Authorization for ICE to protect itself, just like they protect the Public,” Trump wrote. “I never want to see a car carrying a Law Enforcement Officer attacked again! AUTHORIZATION IMMEDIATELY GRANTED FOR ARREST AND INCARCERATION. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

    The post also comes after the Trump administration and White House urged Democrats to relax their rhetoric on immigration officials after a handful of recent violent attacks on ICE agents.”

  7. Just The News: “A federal judge in California on Friday ordered the Trump administration to stop arresting people in their immigration raids without probable cause.

    U.S. District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong granted two temporary restraining orders and instructed the Department of Homeland Security to create guidance for officers to determine “reasonable suspicion” outside an individual’s race or ethnicity, the language they speak or their accent, location or occupation, per CNN.

    The judge also ordered the department to ensure that detainees have access to legal counsel, and that denying the detainees access to attorneys violates the Fifth Amendment, the New York Times reported. “What the federal government would have this Court believe — in the face of a mountain of evidence presented in this case — is that none of this is actually happening,” she wrote.

    The order comes the same day border czar Tom Homan argued that Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers only need to prove “reasonable suspicion” to detain and question someone.

    “People need to understand, ICE officers and Border Patrol don’t need probable cause to walk up to somebody, briefly detain them, and question them,” Homan said on “Fox & Friends.” “They go through the observations, get articulable facts, based on their location, their occupation, their physical appearance, their actions. It’s not probable cause. It’s reasonable suspicion.”

    The ruling comes after the American Civil Liberties Union sued the Trump administration for allegedly apprehending or questioning Los Angeles residents merely because they looked Latino.

    “No matter the color of their skin, what language they speak, or where they work, everyone is guaranteed constitutional rights to protect them from unlawful stops,” Mohammad Tajsar, senior staff attorney for ACLU Southern California, told CNN. “[We are] hopeful that today’s ruling will be a step toward accountability for the federal government’s flagrant lawlessness that we have all been witnessing.”

    DHS and the Trump administration have not yet commented on the ruling.”

  8. Of course, I was wide awake at 1:30 so I propped up my foot in my recliner and made plans for my day. I’m going to tackle the area around the tree stump w/All Kill after cutting down the weeds that are already there. I still have 4 bags of mulch in the back of my truck, so after a couple of days for the poison to work, I will add the mulch.

    Then I can proceed with my plans for putting the chimnea on top of the stump – I need to pick-up some heavy-duty metal u-shaped landscape pins I can pound over the legs into the stump to hold it firmly – and planting a flowering vine or two inside it. Suggestions on a color would be helpful – I’ve already got the peach Honeysuckle and the bright yellow CA Poppies in the garden beds. Hmmm…. wait….how about the red Clematis???

    There is an opening on the bottom to remove the ashes so I am going to find a pot that will fit underneath, then plant the vine inside that pot, to eventually cover the entire chimnea…..🤞🤞🤞🤞

I think that’s one reason my friend, David, and I clicked so much, plus we both enjoyed pot, football and NASCAR – he was the Landscape Architect who worked for the Architect of the Capitol. He drew out a landscape for my back yard here before he went back to VA, with paths, palm trees, Koi ponds….I still have it somewhere but it would cost far too much $$$. Would have been gorgeous, tho!

    we have ANOTHER downpour last night! it started as rain, and it was later, so i thought I’d bring the jelly feeder in anyway. I was out there not 10 seconds when it poured really hard–it felt like hail only it was way too warm for anything like that.

    it was pouring off the roof like little rivers! we lost internet and power but only for a few minutes. then it stopped.

    “Michigan school district, DOJ reach agreement to end seclusion, restraints for disability students — Michigan school district reaches agreement with the Justice Department to end seclusion and restraint practices after an investigation revealed improper use of these tactics.”

    Just The News, By Tess Phillips, Published: July 11, 2025

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “The Justice Department has reached an agreement with a Michigan school district to reform its use of seclusion and restraint practices for students with disabilities. The department said last week that under the agreement, the Montcalm Area Intermediate School District will “end the use of seclusion, reform its restraint practices, and improve special education services for students with disabilities.”

    “Students with disabilities should never be discriminated against by experiencing the trauma of seclusion or improper restraint,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the department’s Civil Rights Division. “Parents have the right to expect that the school systems they entrust with educating their children do not instead punish their children for having a disability.”

    In March of 2023, the department notified the district that it had opened an investigation into the matter. “Restraint” is defined as “any physical contact between any district employee or contractor and a student in which the student involuntarily participates and that immobilizes a student or reduces the ability of that student to move the student’s torso, arms, legs, or head freely,” according to settlement documentation.

    The same documents recognize “seclusion” as “the involuntary confinement of a student in any room or area, from which the student may not leave or [is] blocked from leaving (including if they are told they may not leave) regardless of its name”

    The department found that students with disabilities were secluded and/or restrained over 2,400 times during the period of investigation. It was also found that seclusion and restraint practices were used improperly, in some cases using crisis responses as punishment for normal discipline issues. 

    The settlement agreement also states the goal of this investigation was to determine whether the district’s seclusion and restraint practices deny students with disabilities access to district programs in violation of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The agreement also noted the district denied any allegations of discrimination, but agreed to the settlement to avoid the burden of further legal proceedings. 

    The result of the investigation found that the district “discriminated against students on the basis of disability by denying them the opportunity to participate in or benefit from the District’s education program, and failing to make reasonable modifications to avoid disability discrimination in the District’s program,” according to the department.

    Concerns regarding seclusion and restraint practices for children with disabilities have been raised around the country for years. The National Disability Rights Network published a federal policy update in February 2022 that detailed several instances in which such practices were used inappropriately. 

    In Pennsylvania, a middle school student with autism was held in a seclusion room after school until 5:30 p.m.

    In Massachusetts, a 7-year-old with ADHD reportedly had water poured on him as he was restrained by teachers; In Texas, a 12-year-old student with an IDD was restrained in a chair with electrician gloves taped to his arms as a form of behavioral intervention; and another Pennsylvanian student with ADHD was tased four times by a School Resource Officer before being held in a prone restraint, all according to the 10-page report.

    Similar investigations to what happened in Michigan have also been seen throughout a number of states in recent years. 

    In late 2021, Frederick County Public School District, in Maryland, agreed to end the use of seclusion rooms and discriminatory restraints after a similar investigation found that the district “discriminated against students on the basis of disability by denying them the opportunity to participate in or benefit from the District’s education program,” according to another Justice Department settlement agreement. Under this agreement, schools in the district are now also required to train their staff on proper behavioral intervention methods for students with disabilities. 

    In the case, thousands of incidents of seclusion and restraint were discovered in two-and-a-half school years. All students involved in seclusion were students with disabilities. It was also found that these practices worsened stress levels, causing some to engage in self-harming behaviors. 

    The Detroit Free Press reported that Texas had 17 districts and Florida had 12 districts under investigation for the same seclusion and restraint issues.”

  17. Just The News: “Federal regulators approved numerous appeals to remove Camp Mystic’s buildings from their 100-year flood map dating back to 2013 under former President Barack Obama and 2019 under the first Trump administration, according to a report.

    Severe flooding led to the death of children and counselors from the camp in Texas last week.

    The Federal Emergency Management Agency designated the camp as a “Special Flood Hazard Area” in its National Flood Insurance map for Kerr County in 2011, which the Associated Press reported required the camp to obtain flood insurance. The designation would also subject the camp to a stricter set of regulations on future construction projects. 

    The AP review showed FEMA in 2013 amended the county’s flood map to remove 15 of the camp’s buildings from the hazard area after an appeal. The agency removed 15 more Camp Mystic buildings from the designation in 2019 and 2020.”

    1. This is a travesty. It’s probably best that the owner of the camp was a victim of the flood – because he would likely have been sued if he were still alive.

  18. Wrong, wrong, wrong – ANY use of AI is wrong, in my books!!!

    Just The News: “Virginia will begin using artificial intelligence to scan and simplify state regulations under a new executive order Gov. Glenn Youngkin signed, which the administration describes as the first statewide AI-powered regulatory review in the nation.

    The pilot will deploy agentic, generative AI tools to scan regulations and guidance documents issued by executive branch agencies, identifying outdated, duplicate or overly complex requirements for removal or simplification. The administration’s stated goal is to reduce regulatory burdens on businesses and citizens while keeping guidance documents accurate and current.

    In plain terms, Virginia will now use AI to help cut unnecessary regulations while ensuring state rules stay clear and up to date. “We have made tremendous strides towards streamlining regulations and the regulatory process in the commonwealth,” Youngkin said in the announcement. “Using emergent artificial intelligence tools, we will push this effort further in order to continue our mission of unleashing Virginia’s economy in a way that benefits all of its citizens.”

    Agencies have already surpassed a 25% regulatory reduction target set by Youngkin in 2022, reducing requirements by 26.8% and cutting word counts in guidance documents by 47.9%.

    According to the governor’s office, those earlier reductions save Virginians more than $1.2 billion each year, largely due to lower housing construction costs and reduced compliance expenses.

    Under the executive order, agencies will incorporate AI into their periodic regulatory reviews required by state law. The AI tools will flag redundancies, inconsistencies and overly complex language while ensuring regulations remain compliant with state and federal law.

    Agencies are required to report back within four weeks on planned changes. The Office of Regulatory Management and the Office of Transformation will oversee the pilot.

    George Mason University’s recent launch of its PatriotAI platform shows how AI is already being used in Virginia’s higher education system. The platform, introduced in June, offers university-managed AI tools for research support, document analysis, course design and student advising while maintaining privacy safeguards.

    The Youngkin administration describes these steps as part of Virginia’s broader approach to modernizing government while keeping regulations clear and manageable, serving as a ‘model for other states and federal agencies that are looking to modernize and streamline government,’ according to the press release. The executive order took effect July 11.”

        1. true. i was looking at it strictly from the point of view that it could “read” all the regs and print out a list of regs that duplicate one another or negate one another and then a HUMAN reviews the list and makes the decision if that is correct and needs attention.
          i guess a computer programmer could write a program to do just that, no? does that make it ai?

  19. Just The News: “A federal appeals court on Friday tossed a plea deal between the alleged mastermind behind the Sept. 11 terror attack and the federal government, which was reached under the Biden administration.

    The plea deal would have allowed alleged mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to plead guilty to plotting the attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., in exchange for eliminating the death penalty. The deal was also offered to and accepted by two of his accomplices. 

    The split 2-1 D.C. Circuit appeals court decision ruled in favor of former Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who had attempted to revoke the plea deal last year because he did not personally approve it. Lower courts ruled Austin lacked the authority to revoke the deal.

    The two judges who agreed to toss the deal ruled Austin did have the authority to pull the deal because it had not been honored yet, and that the government “adequately explained that Secretary Austin delayed action to avoid an unlawful influence challenge, waiting to see what type of agreement, if any, would result from the negotiations and only then deciding whether intervention was necessary.

    “Having properly assumed the convening authority, the Secretary determined that the families and the American public deserve the opportunity to see military commission trials carried out,” the judges continued. “The Secretary acted within the bounds of his legal authority, and we decline to second-guess his judgment.”

    The lone dissenter, Judge Robert Wilkins, argued that the ruling was an overreach and that the government failed to prove it is “indisputably entitled to relief,” according to Fox News.

    Prosecutors allege that Mohammed, in 1996, presented the terror attack idea to 9/11 orchestrator Osama bin Laden of hijacking the planes and flying them into the Twin Towers in New York City and other sites on U.S. soil on Sept. 11, 2001.”

  20. EXCERPT: “A battle appears to be looming between President Donald Trump and the entire upper echelon of the national Democratic Party over Trump’s election Executive Order (EO) 14248. The order was signed on March 25, 2025, and entitled “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections.” EO 14248 addresses key election integrity deficiencies involving voter eligibility, ballot fraud, foreign interference, and accountability for wrongdoing. It also implements sorely needed mechanisms to assess the accuracy of voter rolls and the security of voting machines.

    EO 14248 was immediately challenged by the “Who’s Who?” of the Democrat Party. Nineteen attorneys general filed a complaint in Massachusetts, while four top Democrat Party organizations filed their complaint in Washington, D.C., along with three civic groups. All similarly challenge certain parts of the election EO with only slightly different arguments.

    Constitutional Arguments

    At issue is the president’s constitutional power regarding elections. The complainants argue that elections are under the exclusive jurisdiction of the states according to a selective reading of Art. I Sec. IV of U.S. Constitution. The plaintiffs fail to acknowledge the second sentence: “but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Place of Chusing [sp.] Senators.”

    Thus, Congress, not the states, has ultimate jurisdiction over federal elections. That clause birthed the National Voting Rights Act (1965), the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA, 1993) and the Help America Vote Act (HAVA, 2002). Despite the clear, plain text of the U.S. Constitution, the attorneys general boldly state twice in their brief that their states will not adhere to those laws because: “Plaintiff States intend to administer federal elections according to State laws …”

    Article II, Section II explains the general power of the president in providing: “… he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed …” Thus, the president has unquestioned authority to order that the Executive Branch take any steps necessary to ensure federal and state laws regarding any matter is upheld. That is precisely what EO 14248 does. The EO contains nine key sections, each of which issues Executive Branch orders, carefully crafted with references to federal laws, that the orders help to enforce for United States elections.

    Proof of Citizenship

    The complaints against the EO allege only theoretical harm since EO 14248 has never actually harmed anyone. With merely speculative claims about the future, the plaintiffs cannot truly meet the legal requirements of a cognizable, particularized injury necessary to establish the proper standing to bring a claim. Nevertheless, Washington, D.C. Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly issued a temporary injunction on two provisions involving proof of citizenship. Immediately, several media assets reported that a judge blocked the entire order even though the injunction was temporary and involved only two of roughly 40 total provisions in the order.

    The judicial decision temporarily enjoins the president from ordering federal agencies to assess citizenship prior to providing the Federal Voter Registration Form to enrollees of public assistance programs. It also enjoined the president from ordering the Election Assistance Commission (EAC), to amend the National Mail Voter Registration form to include proof of citizenship. Thus, the form can temporarily continue to be used to register potential voters who attest to being citizens of the United States whether they are citizens or not.

    This  decision does not square well with federal law which states: “It shall be unlawful for any alien to vote in any [federal] election …” 18 U.S.Code § 611(a) and that: “Whoever knowingly makes any false statement or claim that he is a citizen of the United States in order to register to vote or to vote in any Federal, State, or local election … Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned…” 18 U.S. Code § 1015(f)…..”

    Trump told the European Union in a letter that the U.S. trade deficit was a national security threat and that the trade relationship between the two countries isn’t reciprocal.

    “We have had years to discuss our Trading Relationship with The European Union, and we have concluded we must move away from these long-term, large, and persistent, Trade Deficits, engendered by your Tariff, and Non-Tariff, Policies, and Trade Barriers,” Trump wrote in the letter to the EU on Saturday. “Our relationship has been, unfortunately, far from Reciprocal.”

    Allow me yell you what I think is really going on. Bear with me here

    Looks

    MAGA is upset re epstein and the seeming in action on everything.

    Bondi and DOJ are obfuscating everything

    There is dissent in FBI with both Bongino and Patel vs Bondi

    Trump appears to have lost ontrol, and is now feckless

    Trump may be compromised

    Media and supposed “MAGA” influences are stirring the pot. Trumps polls are tanking, and the mid terms are in danger as well as Trumps legacy

    Is that about right?

    Well if you BELIEVE that you are falling into the trap the democrats and media with their paid shills and bots are sowing

    1 it has been SIX months. Do you not think it takes TIME to weed out friend from foe and undo all the corruption of really the last 12 to 16 years?

    2 Trumpnot only had justice problems, he had 3 wars, an economic mess. A domestic mess a lack of military mess, an inflation mess, accorruption/ deep imbeded traitor mess and a dei/woke mess. Also he has to fight both the left AND the MSM not to mention the RINOS in his own party.

    He’s been kinda busy don’t you think, and unless you are a dem or have been in a coma the last 6 months he’s doing a damn good job of fixing everythingon that list above..SYSTEMATICALLY. like a machine

    Now what makes you think he’s suddenly after all the rest given up? Or that he is somehow compromised now

    Please. The left, if Trump was involved, would have parroted his involvement 24/7 making the Russia and covid hype look tame.

    Trump would be under the prison or dead by hanging. They hate him THAT much.

    Remember folks they tried to bankrupt. Jail, and even KILL Trump. You think after a DECADE now, when he is so close to MAGA and he only had 3.5 years left to finish the job AND take those who attacked him OUT, or face them again when he’s done, you think NOW he’s playing footsie with the people who tried to literally DESTROY him and his friends and family.

    Wake up!

    This is an op. One by Trump AND a counter propaganda op by the left.

    See you all assume that the DOJ memo was FIRST and that the Brennan/ Comey/ Clapper release was COVER

    Well what IF the DOJ memo released to Axios by the way, was the get out in front of, lie, as cover for the Brennan op?

    But pretty. Bondi, Trump, Patel, and now Bongino all said there was no there there.

    Yep, because they are CLOSE to bringing it all down, and NOT with epstein ALONE. Perhaps that is just PART of the story.

    Epstein briNgs down the Clinton and old guard

    Trump does not just want the Clintons. He wants OBAMA and his crew too. Epstein alone doesn’t accomplish that.

    It doesn’t mean epstein and his handlers and clients WONT be gotten, it just means in Trumps plan. It wasn’t their turn YET. It was and IS Obamas turn. He us the main root off ALL the world’s current issues, you know, the ones Trump spent the last 6 months dismantling.

    Clapper, Corey, Brennan ALL had ONLY one boss.

    The deepstate is sowing active division in MAGA over epstein. They know what’s coming, and the ONLY way to stop it is by dividing MAGA and or taking out a Trump team member who is IMPLEMENTING TRUMPS PLAN.

    Remember please don’t throw me in that briar patch.

    Trust TRUMP. He has earned that with his deeds, and sweat, tears, and BLOOD

    He took a bullet for US I think I will give him due difference

    Let’s see what happens oh and pay close attention to those that parrot the left narrative. They are not what they seem. Some are mistaken, but they’ll come around. Be cautious of who protests too much

    “Because of the fact that Rosie O’Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship. She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!” he wrote.

    Trump and O’Donnell have had a longstanding feud since before he ran for president in the 2016 election.

    Following Trump’s social media post, O’Donnell criticized Trump on TikTok. “The potus ladies n gentlemen is a disgrace to all our beautiful country stands for – he is a danger to the nation – a mentally ill untreated criminal who lied to america for a decade on the apprentice – thanks mark burnett – and u fell for it – its so tragic,” she wrote.

    “Had u grown up in Ny – as i did and he did – u too would know what a total fool he is – add me to the list of people who oppose him at every turn – its now or never america 🇺🇸 – my little posts from dublin upset him – go arrest a few brown people u truly evil man child,” she also wrote.”

  34. Just The News: “FBI Director Kash Patel says he’s not leaving the agency.

    “The conspiracy theories just aren’t true, never have been. It’s an honor to serve the President of the United States @realDonaldTrump — and I’ll continue to do so for as long as he calls on me,” he wrote on X.

    The Department of Justice announced this week that there isn’t a “client list” to release in connection to Jeffrey Epstein. Reports surfaced that Patel and Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino were considering leaving the FBI over the issue.”

  35. we had another one of those micro burst rain storms. poured HARD like hell. lost internet.

    when it cleared some, we went to get the mail, then into the next town for an auto parts store. the jeep needed new wipers.

    while i sat in the truck, i saw that someone restored/remodeled an old building across the street. they call it the Colonial. it’s a “restobar” …ever heard of that?

    i guess it’s a restaurant/bar combo.

  36. “Our Minds are Under Attack”

    Clandestine, Jul 12, 2025

    (Video)

    “In the last 3 weeks:

    -Trump stopped the Israel/Iran war

    -NATO paying for their own defense

    -Congress passed the OBBB

    -Comey/Brennan under investigation

    -Mass layoffs at US agencies

    But if you skim social media, you would assume the sky has fallen.

    We’ve been doing this same emotional roller coaster for over a month straight. First it was the end of the world with Iran and WW3. Then it was the end of the world with the OBBB and Elon creating the “America Party” (which has already lost almost all its steam). Then it was the end of the world with the Axios memo. Then it was the end of the world with Trump’s answer at the cabinet meeting. Then it was the end of the world with Bondi/Kash/Bongino rumors.

    While in reality, Trump and his cabinet have been racking up serious wins, winning in the courts, combating lawfare, draining the swamp, stopping wars, and now Obama FBI/CIA Directors, Comey and Brennan, are under criminal investigation.

    The MAGA base should be surging right now. They should be celebrating endless wins, but they have been whipped into an emotional/psychotic frenzy about this Epstein stuff, which all originates from an Axios leak, of an unofficial, unsigned, undated, draft of a memo. With this one leak, the enemy have completely derailed Trump’s momentum in the media space, and it’s been amplified by bad actors and gullible influencers.

    A significant portion of Trump’s base have been emotionally manipulated. MAGA is under assault via information/psychological warfare, and it’s working on many.

    I’m not saying you shouldn’t be outraged about Epstein, but I am saying that your outrage is being weaponized by the enemy. Our minds are under attack.”
