For a while now, there’s been some talk about John Fetterman being a moderate Democrat—someone Republicans could work with and find common ground. I was taken in for a bit myself, but then I read this article: Fetterman is a Psyops, written by Jett Cross. I present it below so you can decide for yourself.
Fetterman is a Psyops
You don’t erase a radical past. You rebrand it.
Control isn’t always about silence. Sometimes it’s about agreement.
When conservatives crave unity more than truth, deception becomes easy.
A “common-sense” mask can hide the most dangerous ideology.
Fetterman’s rebrand started in 2022. The campaign ends in the White House.
BRIEFING
Jett here. Senator John Fetterman isn’t a Dem with an identity crisis. He’s a psyop. Let’s get into it.
You can see the entire blueprint if you just stop staring at the dirty hoodie long enough. Every piece of his history lines up like a case file: the Clinton-era AmeriCorps progressive grooming ground, the Obama-style activist mayor years, LGBTQ flags flapping off the statehouse, a hard push for pardons and commutations that law enforcement publicly hated, and a Marxist/BLM worldview he quietly scrubbed the second it turned inconvenient. None of that vanished, guys. It just got repackaged.
The story the media, and way too many on the right, are peddling is simple: “Finally! A sane, working-class Democrat who tells it like it is.” Come on, guys. Really? You’re buying this snake oil? This isn’t some political evolution for John Fetterman. It’s backroom engineering by slick consultants who get paid obscene amounts of money to turn activists into presidents. Just ask Barry. Somewhere around 2022, Fetterman’s team flipped the switch from progressive radical to “common-sense” populist. He probably saw The Squad collapsing under its own insanity and decided to switch gears. Smart move, actually. But let’s be real, it’s the same guy, voting the same way, just wrapped in new optics. Fetterman didn’t stumble onto the moderate middle; he discovered a marketing lane.
He’s testing out the next Democratic prototype: a “reasonable” leftist who talks like he hates the radicals but still feeds the same machine. A populist costume for Marxist wiring.
DEBRIEF
Fetterman’s rebrand isn’t random; it’s patterned, calculated, and documented. His history reads like a manual for building the next Democratic psyop: start in the activist trenches, collect the right allies, reframe the optics, and wait for America to forget who you were or think you had some “come to Jesus” awakening.
THE ORIGIN STORY: AMERICORPS & BRADDOCK
Before he was Pennsylvania’s “everyman senator,” John Fetterman was the poster child for Clinton-era activism. His political DNA starts with AmeriCorps, the government-funded “service” program built to funnel radical young progressives into government-approved activism. That’s where he learned how to moralize policy and dress ideology up as compassion.
After AmeriCorps came Braddock, the struggling steel town he used as his own personal political laboratory. Fetterman didn’t just move there; he branded himself as its savior. The media loved the optics: a tattooed, Harvard-educated bald progressive “reviving” a dying Rust Belt town. But behind the photo ops was the same formula AmeriCorps taught him: frame decay as injustice, pitch government as salvation, and call it compassionate service.
Except, oops, it didn’t work.
Braddock didn’t thrive under Fetterman’s leadership. Actually, it flatlined. The population kept shrinking, poverty stayed high, and violent crime actually went up. The “model town” story was a mirage built for campaign ads.
SOURCE
In his entire tenure as the mayor of Braddock, John Fetterman cast a single vote at a city council meeting and it was a meaningless one. It was a procedural vote for borough president. So, what happened next? This is always our favorite part of the story. What were the results? How did Braddock, Pennsylvania, fare under the leadership of John Fetterman? That’s really the only question that matters and again, we want to be as fair and objective as we can be. So, we’re going to tell you that under his tenure as mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania, the seas did not rise. That is true. Braddock is still on dry land. Of course, it’s very far from the ocean, but it’s still dry. So, his climate policy worked. He can be proud of that. Unfortunately, everything else fell apart in Braddock.
People kept fleeing. Braddock’s population is currently at its lowest level ever recorded. The median income in Braddock, Pennsylvania, is $14,000 a year. More than a third of households in Braddock live below the poverty line. Braddock, by the way, has one of the highest crime rates in the state of Pennsylvania. In 2018, shortly after Fetterman left office, Braddock’s per capita murder rate was higher than it is in some of the most dangerous countries in the world. Honduras and Belize are safer than Braddock, Pennsylvania. So, that’s a failure and in a functioning system, a record like this would have disqualified John Fetterman from ever running for anything again. He failed demonstrably as a leader. It had a higher murder rate than Honduras and the lowest population ever recorded. Sorry, climate change didn’t improve the town.
THE TRUST FUND MARXIST
And here’s the part the media will never tell you: the “blue-collar everyman” schtick was financed by Daddy’s checkbook.
Fetterman spent most of his adult life twiddling those big thumbs of his in school. First business school, then Harvard, where he collected a shiny but meaningless “Masters of Public Policy.” Not that it cost him anything. Daddy paid for the degrees, the lifestyle, probably copious amounts of pot and Doritos, and everything in between.
SOURCE
Fetterman had spent his adult life going to school — first to business school, then to Harvard for a so-called Masters of Public Policy, which for the uninitiated, is an utterly meaningless document that you pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to get in order to tell people that you went to Harvard. But in Fetterman’s case, it wasn’t expensive at all. It was free. His dad paid for it and paid for everything else. As the Philadelphia Inquirer put it, “For a long stretch, lasting well into his 40s, deep into middle-age, Fetterman’s main source of income came from his parents. They gave him and his family $54,000 in 2015 alone.”
In other words, John Fetterman was a classic trustafarian, a flaky, middle-aged man looking for a purpose in life and in Braddock, Pennsylvania, he found one. In 2005, a year after arriving in Braddock, Fetterman announced he was running for mayor and amazingly, boldly, given that he was a professional student living off his rich family, John Fetterman decided to run as a blue-collar populist — but the media asked no questions. They loved it.
In other words, John Fetterman wasn’t the blue-collar savior of Braddock — he was a trust-fund kid cosplaying as one. A middle-aged drifter living off his rich parents, playacting as a man of the people. And the media? They ate it up.
In other words, John wasn’t some lumbering man of the people. He was a bored, privileged kid looking for purpose. Which should ring a bell for most of you, since this is a pattern that defines so many left-wing radicals. Wealthy parents are aimless and desperate to feel important, so they latch onto activism as a personality. And in Braddock, Fetterman finally found his stage.
THE RADICAL RESUME: FLAGS, PARDONS & BLM
From mayor to lieutenant governor, Fetterman waved every flag that defined the progressive movement. Literally. The LGBTQ flag, the marijuana leaf, and the “defund and forgive” message embedded in his pardons push. Law enforcement hated it, and he didn’t care.
SOURCE
Senate candidate John Fetterman, D-Pa., has removed mentions of Black Lives Matter from his campaign website in the last month, a review of archived webpages showed.
The “issues” page on Fetterman’s website currently includes sections on inflation ,criminal justice reform, legalizing cannabis, renewable energy, immigration and several other topics, but doesn’t include any section devoted to Black Lives Matter. Archived copies of the page, though, show that as recently as Aug. 22, the same page highlighted Fetterman’s commitment to Black Lives Matter.
THE NETWORK: BERNIE, SOROS & THE DA CIRCUIT
When Fetterman says he’s “just a Democrat,” remember, he was Bernie’s guy first and Biden’s loyal foot soldier all along. The Bernie endorsement opened the door to Soros-aligned “justice reform” networks and their DA allies.
And yes, Fetterman’s tight with Soros-backed, soft-on-crime Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner… the guy who’s practically turned leniency into an art form. Krasner is the prototype of the Soros soldier: weaponizing the justice system, protecting criminals, and punishing law and order.
Here’s Fetterman calling Larry a “champion” of criminal justice reform.
And here’s Larry supporting the failed Defund the Police movement.
And finally, here’s Fetterman’s Soros-backed buddy, claiming it’s “racist” to notice that left-wing cities are collapsing into lawless shit holes.
Also, here’s a fun thing to keep in mind… during his 2022 rebranding phase, John Fetterman called “Defund the Police” absurd.
Pennsylvania Democratic Senate nominee John Fetterman in an interview published on Tuesday said the concept of defunding the police “was always absurd.”
THE INNER CIRCLE: RADICAL SPOUSE & THE OBAMA PARALLEL
If you really want to understand the Fetterman playbook, look at his wife, Gisele. She’s not a background character. This woman is a full-blown activist with ties to the same progressive networks that shaped John. Pro-illegal immigration rallies, far-left advocacy, the whole package. Gisele isn’t softening his image. She’s reinforcing it.
In fact, the same “Defund the Police” movement that 2022 Fetterman called “always absurd” was the one his wife was proudly linked to.
Gisele Fetterman, the wife of Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman, campaigned over the weekend with several defund the police activists who promoted a bail fund that helped release a man accused of trying to assassinate a Kentucky politician.
Gisele Fetterman on Sunday posted a photo of herself during an American Indian Impact event in Philadelphia, posing alongside “Top Chef” star Padma Lakshmi, Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., and Meena Harris, the niece of Vice President Kamala Harris. A video later tweeted by John Fetterman, Pennsylvania’s lieutenant governor, showed his wife alongside “Scandal” star Kerry Washington urging voters to turn out for the midterm elections on Tuesday.
She also thinks swimming is “racist.”
The wife of Democratic Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman claimed “swimming in America is very racist” — as she likened her husband’s use of closed captioning to turning up the brightness on a smartphone.
“Historically, swimming in America is very racist, and usually when you look at drowning statistics, it usually affects children of color, because of lack of access,” Gisele Fetterman said on the iGen politics podcast on Thursday.
If this story feels familiar, it should. We’ve seen this movie before; it’s the Obama character arc all over again. The activist past gets rewritten as “community organizing,” the Marxist edges get blurred out, and the radical couple gets sold as “inspiring.” Fetterman isn’t an outlier, guys. He’s the sequel.
THE REBRAND: THE SWITCH TO “COMMON SENSE”
In 2022, the hoodie-wearing radical shapeshifted into the Democrats’ “reasonable guy.” The BLM references vanished, the flag stunts stopped, and suddenly Fetterman is chatting with right-wingers while scolding left-wing extremists about open borders and antisemitism.
Sen. @JohnFetterman, D-Pa., tells @ChrisCuomo he would never compare anybody to Hitler, Nazis or fascists for having different views: “If that kind of extreme rhetoric is going to continue, we’re going to be more likely to result in extreme kinds of outcomes and political violence.”
And almost immediately, many conservatives started gobbling it up. Not all conservatives, thank God. This post nailed it. Fetterman isn’t repenting for his past radical sins. He’s repositioning.
Fetterman is dangerous. Hear me out… This isn’t some “new and improved” Fetterman. He’s a tried-and-true Marxist, always has been, always will be. There’s no miraculous change of heart here, no sudden moral awakening, and he’s definitely not doing us any heartfelt or moral favors with his “common sense” act. What he’s doing is calculated. He’s stepping into a space that’s wide open right now… the role of the so-called “common sense Democrat.” And it’s smart politics, because that image sells, especially now, as the Dem Party slides deeper into extremism. He sounds like an old-school Democrat who voted for Kennedy or cared about working-class families and values. But that’s not who Fetterman is. He’s a Marxist. This is carefully crafted camouflage. Just like Obama, he’s disguising his real politcal self and his motives under a common sense moderate mask. He’s presenting himself as relatable, reasonable, and even patriotic, while quietly clinging to the same Marxist ideology that shaped his politics from day one. And it’s going to work on a lot of people. Good, decent folks on our side who want to believe we can find some middle ground with these ghouls, will end up helping him build his power base and grow. That’s how this game is played. It’s not a transformation, it’s a strategy. And if we don’t recognize it for what it is, he’s going to walk into much bigger political shoes with our help, and make Obama look like a “cake walk.” Trust me…
THE RESULT: HOW THE PSYOP WORKS
Fetterman’s common sense act is bait for very hungry conservatives who just want their country to get back to normal. By echoing MAGA’s frustration with radicalism, Fetterman neutralizes opposition and builds the trust he’ll need later. Conservatives boost his clips, convinced he’s “one of the good ones,” not realizing they’re helping his rise.
Case in point: an X account with nearly 170,000 followers insists it’s “beyond obvious” that Fetterman will go Republican soon. Never mind that he still votes with Democrats 96% of the time.
Fetterman isn’t helping conservatives. He’s playing them. The man votes like a loyal Democrat while posing as Mr. Red Pill for soundbites that get him trending in MAGA circles. He’s not crossing the aisle, guys. He’s crossing wires, and many of you are falling for it hook, line, and sinker.
Until Fetterman VOTES to confirm Republicans in a tie breaking way, I don’t wanna see him on my timeline and I’ll assume conservative influencers are being paid under the table to promote him.
Reality check: Mr. Dirty Hoody is not challenging the Left’s power. He’s expanding it, one conservative retweet at a time. And you have to wonder… are some of these “influencers” getting paid to push the psyop?
THE FAKE FEUD: MANUFACTURED MODERATION
Now the media wants you to believe the Democrats are turning on Fetterman. Axios claims Pennsylvania Dems are plotting to take him out in 2028, painting this picture of poor John as the outcast, the man too “normal” for his own party.
Axios: “Top Democrats in Pennsylvania are maneuvering to run against Sen. John Fetterman in a 2028 primary contest… even as Democrats turn on him over his softened approach to President Trump.”
Give me a break. This isn’t a mutiny. I called PR and marketing. The Democrats need a reboot. Their brand has rotted from the inside out, and Fetterman is the test subject for the “new normal.” The party of gender lunacy and criminals has to look sane again before 2028, so what do they do? They pick a guy who can take friendly fire from the radicals and pretend it’s proof he’s moderate. Meanwhile, just 11 months ago, he was cozying up to The New York Times, strategizing on how to beat Trump at his own game.
That’s the game. The Left doesn’t eat its own unless it’s theater. Fetterman gets to play the role of the “anti-woke” Democrat while still voting 96% with the machine. It’s camouflage. By the time 2028 rolls around, they’ll have their “common-sense hero” who can charm independents, calm the suburbs, and ingratiate himself just enough with MAGA that the fight won’t be quite as bloodthirsty as in past elections.
NOW YOU KNOW
Fetterman isn’t the outsider they’re trying to silence. He’s the inside man they’re quietly building.

Just The News: “A wave of congressional retirements has set the stage for a high-stakes 2026 midterm election that will decide which party controls the House and Senate for President Donald Trump’s final two years in office.
There are 38 House members and 8 senators not seeking re-election so far.
More Republicans than Democrats are leaving the House as both parties battle for control of the chamber. So far, 16 Democrats and 23 Republicans are retiring from the House.
On the Senate side, four Democrats and four Republicans are stepping aside. Republicans currently control the Senate with 53 seats compared to 47 for Democrats, which includes two independents who caucus with them. Among the departures are Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), the longtime Republican leader who recently left his leadership position, as well as Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), the Democratic Whip.
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) and Sen. Tina Smith (D-Minn.) are also leaving, which will be competitive Senate races to watch as they unfold. Republican senators Joni Ernst of Iowa and Thom Tillis of N.C. are also not seeking re-election, while Tommy Tuberville of Alabama is running for governor.
In the House, notable names leaving the chamber include former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.), and Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas). A number of competitive House races are unfolding as a result of additional retirements.
Rep. David Schweikert (R-Ariz.) is leaving and running for governor and the race for his seat is regarded as a toss-up, according to Cook Political Report. Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine) is retiring in a GOP-leaning district, which will be a competitive race. Rep. John James (R-Mich.) is stepping down to run for governor. His seat is rated as “lean Republican” by Cook Political Report. Rep. Angie Craig (D-Minn.) is leaving the House to run for Senate, creating a toss-up race in the second district.
Redistricting could also have a significant impact on control of the House in the 2026 midterm election, given that the GOP currently has the majority in the chamber by 7 seats — 219 compared to the Democrats’ 213 seats.
To date, six states have approved new congressional maps. Redistricting is underway in Virginia currently. California passed a new congressional map that could help the Democrats gain 5 seats, while Texas passed a new map that could lead to 5 additional GOP House seats. A bipartisan commission in Ohio approved a redistricting effort that could give the GOP two more seats. North Carolina and Missouri’s redistricting efforts could give the GOP one additional House seat in each state compared to the current figures. In Utah, the Democrats might pick up one seat due to redistricting.
As the 2026 midterms approach, all eyes will be on these open-seat contests. The growing number of retirements could make 2026 one of the most unpredictable midterm elections in recent history — with the potential to reshape the balance of power on Capitol Hill.”

Just The News: “The initiative known as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has officially disbanded despite having eight months left on its official charter.
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk originally led DOGE after it was established in January 2025 under the second term of Donald Trump. The department’s aim was to reduce the size and cost of government.
Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Director Scott Kupor, said DOGE “doesn’t exist” as a centralized organization anymore, Reuters reported. OPM is reportedly taking over its core functions. Musk left DOGE in May, given that he was classified as a special government employee.
The formal executive order creating DOGE specified that its mandate would run through July 2026.”

EXCERPT: “U.S. Catholic bishops voted to prohibit transgender surgeries and the use of cross-sex hormones in Catholic hospitals, in a show of solidarity with Catholic physicians and medical groups who have advocated for an end to the procedures for more than a decade.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) met Nov. 11-13 in Baltimore, Maryland, for their biannual plenary assembly, in which bishops, individuals, and organizations determine and discuss church policy. On Nov. 12, bishops overwhelmingly voted to approve updates to the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services (ERDs), including the prohibition of transgender surgical and hormonal manipulation.
The vote is significant, as more than one in seven patients are served in Catholic hospitals daily. Catholic health facilities serve patients in all 50 states, overseeing more than 600 hospitals and 1600 other health care facilities.
The Catholic Medical Association (CMA) has raised concerns over the dangers of transgender interventions for at least 20 years, with significantly increased attention over the past decade, said Dr. Tim Millea, CMA health care policy chairman.
In a 2016 publication, the CMA highlighted research conducted by Dr. Michelle Cretella, a CMA member and president of the American College of Pediatrics, who had specialized in adolescent mental and sexual health for years and witnessed the damage done by physicians experimenting on gender-confused youth. At the time, Cretella was supporting parent groups fighting for female- or male-only bathrooms and locker rooms in schools.
“The explosion of young people seeking these interventions led to our recognition that this had become a true public health concern and needed to be addressed more prominently and with greater urgency,” Millea said.

It would still take years for Catholic bishops to take a public stance……”

NYT reporting an additional grand jury related to the “grand conspiracy” investigation led by US Atty Jason Reding Quinones will be empaneled in Fort Pierce, FLA where one judge will preside over the proceedings:
Judge Aileen Cannon.
Now I am old enough to remember how the media and social media influencers like @glennkirschner2 viciously attacked Cannon for her careful scrutiny of the documents case, This was back when it was cool to blast any judge for pushing back on government claims–now, of course, it’s the exact opposite.
In Sept 2022, Cannon wisely appointed a special master to oversee sensitive materials seized during the MAL raid, expressing doubt over some of the Biden DOJ’s claims and calling out DOJ leaks to media. (It was overturned on appeal but she was right all along.)
Then her cautious handling of the case post-indictment and her clashes with Jack Smith’s team–she almost kicked David Harbach out of the courtroom one day after growing weary of his temper tantrums aimed at her–earned her increased ire by same “legal experts.” She faced daily harassment including a petition drive by Kirshner demanding her recusal. A woman in Texas was charged and convicted for making death threats against Cannon.
Karma, as I always say, is a bitch.Image

ImageNYT: “The people who sit on a grand jury in Fort Pierce, who would ultimately vote on whether to approve any indictments in whatever investigation it is used for, will be drawn from the five counties in that division. Strong majorities of voters in those counties backed Mr. Trump last year, while he narrowly lost the far more populous Palm Beach — the location of Mar-a-Lago. Mr. Trump overwhelmingly lost the vote in the Washington area, where many of the events of the Russia and election investigations took place.
If the justification for making Fort Pierce the venue is the search of Mar-a-Lago, that raises the question of whether the appropriate grand jury to use is one in the district’s Palm Beach division.”
Excuse me while I get a big chuckle out of new concerns over proper venue for investigations after DOJ then Jack Smith conducted the entire documents investigation in Trump-hating DC to get every favorable judicial/GJ decision they wanted then switched to FLA a few weeks before indictment.
I also will say this does not mean Cannon will give this DOJ everything they want. She was tough on both sides during the documents case; she’s very smart, prepared, and appropriately skeptical of most presentations before her court. This is not a layup for DOJ nor do I think they want one.

“Alabama man who accidentally ordered food 2,000 miles away sends cash and apology note to restaurant”
Not The Bee, Harriet Rigby, Nov 23, 2025
“Imagine being these two and receiving $40 for a mistaken order from half a continent away! 👇
Credit: Darcy Clarke
On October 1, a man from Alabama intended to call a local restaurant to place an order, but instead ordered two cheeseburgers and fries from a restaurant with the same name (“Bentley’s Burgers and Fries”) from almost 2,000 miles away in Nova Scotia, Canada.
Owners Darcy and Laura Clarke said they were stunned to receive the money and an apology note.
Darcy remembers taking the man’s order, telling As It Happens,
After the customer didn’t show, they gave the food away and forgot about it. Until they got the letter in the mail, dated the day after the incident.
The letter reads,
The Clarkes say that the $40 enclosed is more than enough to cover the misplaced order, and they already know what they plan to do with the extra, with Laura saying,
What a sweet way to pay it forward!
They’re also sending their new friend in Alabama a Christmas package:

“10-year-old fights with mom, steals her car, gets dad arrested”
Not The Bee, Mister Retrops, Nov 23, 2025
“Last Friday, Mount Juliet (TN) Police responded to a report of a car being stolen at W. A. Wright Elementary School …. uhh, along with a potential kidnapping.
According to WSMV, a mother had gone inside the school to drop off some paperwork, and when she came back out, her car was gone, along with her 10-year-old son who had been in the car waiting for her.
All signs pointed to the child being the driver, not a kidnapping carjacker. Sure enough they found the kid at home with his dad: the car parked nicely in the garage.
The boy said he and his mom had gotten into a fight, so he took the car home and left her behind.
Police decided not to press charges against the 10-year-old.

More judicial activism!!!
Just The News: “A federal judge on Monday dismissed the criminal indictments against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James after finding the prosecutor who brought the cases was not lawfully appointed.
The prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, was appointed by Attorney General Pam Bondi.
“I agree with Mr. Comey that the Attorney General’s attempt to install Ms. Halligan as Interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia was invalid. And because Ms. Halligan had no lawful authority to present the indictment, I will grant Mr. Comey’s motion and dismiss the indictment,” U.S. District Judge Cameron Currie wrote in her ruling, finding the indictment should be tossed because the appointment of former Donald Trump personal lawyer Lindsey Halligan was invalid and she’d lacked the authority to present a case to a grand jury, according to NBC News.”

The Department of War on Monday announced it is considering recalling Democrat Senator Mark Kelly for court-martial proceedings after he urged the military to defy President Trump’s orders.
Without offering any specifics, Senators Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), along with Democrat Reps. Maggie Goodlander (NH), Jason Crow (CO), Chris Deluzio (PA), and Chrissy Houlahan (PA) repeatedly stated, “You can refuse illegal orders,” or “You must refuse illegal orders,” in a viral video.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/breaking-democrat-senator-mark-kelly-faces-court-martial/
The Department of War reminds all individuals that military retirees remain subject to the UCMJ for applicable offenses, and federal laws such as 18 U.S.C. § 2387 prohibit actions intended to interfere with the loyalty, morale, or good order and discipline of the armed forces. Any violations will be addressed through appropriate legal channels.
All service members are reminded that they have a legal obligation under the UCMJ to obey lawful orders and that orders are presumed to be lawful. A service member’s personal philosophy does not justify or excuse the disobedience of an otherwise lawful order.

🌋 Hayli Gubbi Erupts After 10,000 Years — Seen From Space
Yes, the Earth continues its tradition of waking up stuff we thought was dead. Yesterday, Ethiopia’s Hayli Gubbi volcano — dormant for thousands of years — suddenly blasted ash high enough to be photographed by the Aqua/MODIS satellite.
Scientists have no record of it erupting in the last several millennia, though to be fair, the Danakil Desert is so brutal and remote that records are basically: “Some rocks erupted at some point … maybe?”
✔️ No deaths reported.
✔️ Another reminder that the planet has its own schedule.

⚰️ Grandmother Wakes Up Inside Her Coffin Moments Before Cremation
A 65-year-old Thai grandmother, Chonthirot, was declared dead at home in Phitsanulok on November 23. Family placed her in a white coffin and drove 225 miles over four hours to a Bangkok temple that offers free cremations. When the truck arrived, relatives heard knocking from inside the coffin. She woke up right before being cremated.

Mind. Blown. Hollywood magic is wild. De Meritt. Everything is in the name…
(The role of E.T. in the 1982 film was portrayed by multiple performers, with Matthew DeMeritt being the primary actor who physically performed the character, credited for “Special E.T. movement.” He was a 11-year-old boy born without legs who could walk on his hands, a skill that made him ideal for the role. Tamara De Treaux and Pat Bilon also contributed to the portrayal of E.T., with De Treaux performing the character’s facial expressions and Bilon handling some of the more intricate movements. The character’s voice was provided by Pat Welsh, Steven Spielberg, and later by Kayden Green in a 2019 reunion special.)

A few other GOP members messaged us over the weekend saying that they, too, are considering retiring in the middle of the term.
Here’s one particularly exercised senior House Republican:
“This entire White House team has treated ALL members like garbage. ALL. And Mike Johnson has let it happen because he wanted it to happen. That is the sentiment of nearly all — appropriators, authorizers, hawks, doves, rank and file. The arrogance of this White House team is off putting to members who are run roughshod and threatened. They don’t even allow little wins like announcing small grants or even responding from agencies. Not even the high profile, the regular rank and file random members are more upset than ever. Members know they are going into the minority after the midterms.
“More explosive early resignations are coming. It’s a tinder box. Morale has never been lower. Mike Johnson will be stripped of his gavel and they will lose the majority before this term is out.”

RE: Democrats Alleging That Blowing Up Venezuelan Drug Boats is an Unlawful Order.
The Marines’ Hymn starts with these lines:
“From the Halls of Montezuma
To the shores of Tripoli…”
Do you know what that second line means?
It refers to the War with the Barbary Pirates.
The Barbary Pirates were a raiding group of true pirates who captured American and European ships off of the North African coast, stole the ships and cargo, and enslaved or ransomed the crews. The pirates were generally under the control of the Ottoman Tripolitania, and many were true privateers: i.e., civilian ships and civilian crews causing great harm to American interests.
So President Thomas Jefferson sent the Navy and the Marine Corps to North Africa to blow those private ships and crews the hell out of the water.
Tommy J. didn’t have Predator drones like Trump is using to blow narcoterrorists out of the water who are trying to slaughter hundreds of thousands of Americans with fentanyl, but Tommy did have some kick-ass Marines to blow pirates out of the water who were enslaving American citizens. Right on the shores of Tripoli.
Hence the song.
But Democrats are too stupid to know what that means.
‘Murica. Blowing up civilian ships since 1801, all to protect America.
So how about it, you lobotomite Democrats?
Were Tommy J.’s orders lawful or unlawful?
We all know the answer, even though you won’t admit it. Lawful.
Just like Trump’s lawful preservation of American lives from the scourge of fentanyl.
Learn a little history, you Democrat goons.
Now go write the Marines’ Hymn 5,000 times on the blackboard until you learn your lesson.

“Shutdown Winnings: Billions in Earmarks for Coke-Driven Moby Dick Theatre, Horse Therapy, “Gay Utopia,” and More”
OpenTheBooks, Nov 24, 2025
EXCERPT: “While the government was shut down in October, members of Congress were acting like the fate of American health care, defense and more hung in the balance. But behind the scenes they had still been fighting to secure cash for pet projects like elephant statues, squash courts and thousands of other earmarks.
The shutdown finally ended when H.R. 5371 was signed into law on November 12. Federal employees were out of work and food stamps were in jeopardy, but lawmakers still found time to stuff 862 earmarks worth $2.4 billion into the bill, according to Open the Books’ review of federal disclosures.
Congress has until January 30 to send a full federal budget to President Trump and avoid another shutdown. The remaining appropriations bills still under debate contain 2,381 Senate earmarks worth another $4.7 billion and 4,408 House earmarks worth $6 billion, for a total of $10.7 billion more taxpayer dollars being considered for pet projects.
Senator Coburn often called earmarks “the gateway drug to Washington’s spending addiction.” President Obama had committed to not signing any bill loaded with pork barrel spending in his 2011 State of the Union, kicking off a moratorium Coburn had long championed. Over 11 years, it saved taxpayers roughly $141 billion.
Unfortunately, both parties voted to bring back earmarks beginning in fiscal year 2022, and spending multiplied almost instantly. Despite the moratorium still technically being policy, they are very much back in full force. So while most Americans enjoy turkey for Thanksgiving, Congress remains addicted to pork.
Here are some of the most head-scratching and ridiculous. What they all have in common is they are far afield from the federal government’s core responsibilities…..”

“Congressional Seditionists are Emboldened by Lack of Deep State Prosecutions — If they are not up to the task, then President Trump must find new DOJ leadership with the fortitude to get the job done.”
Roger Stone, Nov 24, 2025
“President Donald Trump has called for elected Democrats to be charged with sedition after several elected U.S. Senators recorded a video urging the military to refuse commands issued under the President. The video, which featured Democrat U.S. Sens. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan and Mark Kelly of Arizona as well as Reps. Chris Deluzio of Pennsylvania, Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire, Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania and Jason Crow of Colorado, urges military officials to refuse to follow orders from the Commander-in-Chief.
The participants, touting their deep state credentials, addressed military personnel and intelligence analysts, saying: “We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now. Americans trust their military, but that trust is at risk. This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens. Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend this Constitution. Right now, the threats to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home. Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders… You must refuse illegal orders.”
President Trump is not taking this for empty lip service, nor should he. This is a call to arms for a revolt. 18 U.S.C. § 2387 makes it a crime punishable by up to 10 years in prison for anyone “with intent to interfere with, impair, or influence the loyalty, morale, or discipline of the military or naval forces” to “advise, counsel, urge, or in any manner cause or attempt to cause insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny, or refusal of duty by any member of the military or naval forces of the United States.” This seems to be an open-and-shut violation of U.S. Code, and President Trump wholeheartedly agrees with that interpretation of the law.
“It’s called SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. Each one of these traitors to our Country should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL. Their words cannot be allowed to stand – We won’t have a Country anymore!!! An example MUST BE SET,” President Trump wrote in a Truth Social post, following it up with another post stating, “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!”
Democrats are predictably crying victim in response to President Trump’s demand for justice. House Democrat Leaders issued the following statement:
“We have been in contact with the House Sergeant at Arms and the United States Capitol Police to ensure the safety of these Members and their families. Donald Trump must immediately delete these unhinged social media posts and recant his violent rhetoric before he gets someone killed.”
(As if they have not brought on violence against Republicans by ceaselessly defaming them as racist, fascist, white supremacists and Nazis for the past decade.)
While President Trump is correct that those elected lawmakers appearing in the video ought to face charges on sedition, it is not likely they will ever be held to account.
Nearly one year into President Trump’s second term, not one single deep state apparatchik who lorded over Russia-gate and has been exposed for committing blatant treason is rotting behind bars. The only individual who has even been charged is former FBI Director James Comey on a weak perjury charge, far less than what he deserved to receive.
Comey has been treated with kid gloves since his prosecution was announced, and there are now rumors that his case will be dismissed because of procedural negligence. This is seemingly willful neglect of the Trump electoral mandate to drain the swamp.
If dozens of Obama and Biden-era criminals – such as former CIA Director John Brennan, former NSA Director James Clapper, former National Security Adviser Susan Rice, former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and many others from the laundry list of obviously guilty officials – had been indicted already, subjected to dehumanizing perp walks, and were being dragged through a grueling loop of humiliating court proceedings, these lawmakers likely would have kept quiet, fearing the consequences of speaking so flippantly to undermine the rule of law.
But because the DOJ has refused to do its due diligence, the Democrat officials flap their gums and dare the administration to do something about it. In their eyes, they are still above the law.
President Trump has delivered consequentially on many issues, but none are more important than cleaning up the Deep State. Removing the permanent government from Washington D.C. and crippling their apparatus of control is essential, or they will just lie dormant and then undo the progress made by President Trump as soon as he departs from the White House.
That is why it is incumbent upon DOJ leaders to waste no more time in putting deep staters behind bars, and if they are not up to the task, then President Trump must find new DOJ leadership with the fortitude to get the job done.”
