    2. Good morning! Bright sun again, starting out at 46 – I cannot believe that they are predicting a high tomorrow of 96, yet only 53 for Sunday w/a low of 26!!!! It’s a damned roller-coaster and I do NOT like roller-coasters!!!

      Still no sign of Wheezer. Melania’s got strong genes – he mostly looks like her but he has Donald’s skinny nose and his ears. Such a broad forehead! Maybe to house that oh-so-awesome brain perhaps? LOL

    https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f6a8.svg Tweet #16: Special Counsel John Durham spent four years investigating what happened to American elections.

    His final report was delivered to Congress in May 2023.
    Inside that report was a criminal referral.

    Not to the Department of Justice. Not to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

    To the Department of Defense Inspector General.
    The internal watchdog of the entire United States military.

    The referral identified one specific matter:

    “One matter involving the execution of a contract between the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the Georgia Institute of Technology.”

    One sentence. In a Special Counsel report to the United States Congress.

    Durham had reviewed the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency contract with Georgia Tech and found something significant enough to send to the Department of Defense’s own internal investigator for potential criminal review.

    Not a footnote. Not a passing mention. A formal referral.

    Now look at what you have seen in this thread about that exact contract: 

    A Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency planning document targeting voting machine manufacturers eight months before the election.

    The Pythia surveillance weapon deployed inside the Department of Homeland Security before the election.

    Active reconnaissance jobs running against Dominion Voting network infrastructure thirteen days before the election.

    Egress points found in Dominion Voting network data.
    United States Army soldiers trained on the surveillance weapon at Georgia Tech’s campus. 

    Central Command military network data handed to a civilian university professor for analysis.

    Russian and Iranian command and control confirmed in election related state and local government networks.

    A Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency employee writing “I know who to talk to if we find anything.”

    And the man who found egress points in Dominion Voting data named to Georgia’s official election security task force on the very same day.

    Durham saw enough in that contract to make a criminal referral to the Department of Defense Inspector General.

    Here is what happened next: Nothing.

    -No findings were announced.
    -No charges were filed.
    -No public report was released.
    -The referral was received.
    -Then it vanished.

    The Department of Defense Inspector General has 
    never publicly addressed it.

    The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has never publicly addressed it.

    Nor Georgia Tech, and Congress never held a single public hearing about it.

    Think about what that means.

    The top prosecutor in America found something troubling enough in a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency contract with a university to formally refer it for potential criminal investigation.

    And every single institution that received that referral went silent. Durham found it. The Department of Defense Inspector General received it. Washington buried it. 

    There is only one question left. 

    Who had the power to make a Special Counsel criminal referral disappear – and why did they use it?

    Looks like there is at least one judge in New York that still obeys the law.

    Mamdani Furious After Judge Orders Deportation of NYC City Council Employee
    https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/03/mamdani-furious-judge-orders-deportation-nyc-city-council/

    The nerve of a judge to deport an illegal immigrant who held the lofty status of a staff member for the New York City Council has left New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani in high dudgeon

    After Wednesday’s ruling, a Department of Homeland Security representative said, “Today, an immigration judge ordered Rafael Andres Rubio Bohorquez, a criminal illegal alien from Venezuela and an employee of New York’s City Council a final order of removal,” according to CBS
    “His criminal history includes an arrest for assault. This ruling is a victory for the rule of law. ICE will work as quickly as possible to return this criminal to his home country,” the DHS statement said.

    Rubio Bohorquez has been in jail since his January arrest. He has demanded his release in a lawsuit filed in federal court, but federal judge John Cronan has not ordered his release.

    Rubio Bohorquez plans to appeal the ruling at the Board of Immigration Appeals, Menin said, according to the New York Post.

    We will have to wait and see how the appeals court rules, but in NY the appeals courts are as bad as most district court judges.

    I nominate the managers of “The Croissanterie” restaurant in Little Rock, AR as IDIOTS OF THE YEAR.

    They kicked out Governor Sarah Sanders and her dinner group because some other patrons did not like the Governor and group dining there. The scoundrels raised hell and “flipped off” the Sanders group.

    Since when do you let uncouth barbarians run your restaurant?

    I fervently hope and pray this restaurant has to quickly cease operating and whoever owns it goes bankrupt as rapidly as possible.

    You can’t fix stupid and this IS as stupid as it gets.

  4. “Trump’s Test: On the Real War Beneath the Fake One”

    Burning Bright, Mar 12, 2026

    This piece is a follow-up to my initial framing of the Iran War in ‘Donald Trump and the Path of the Torpedo.’ Consider reading it first for added context.

    EXCERPT: “Donald Trump is not reacting to events in the Middle East. He is, rather guiding a strategic arc that the enemy helped construct, believing all the while that they held the initiative.

    To wit, what much of the legacy press, the entrenched institutional voices and even segments of the alternative media are now portraying as the opening chapter of yet another American entanglement in the Middle East is something quite different.

    In my assessment, it represents the most sophisticated off-ramp from the entire postwar system of managed, perpetual conflict that has ever been engineered, which I have been saying not just since it started … but seven weeks before.

    Put another way—and as I have been saying all along—I believe we are watching an off-ramp disguised as an on-ramp, and which could not have been done any other way.

    And in order to fully understand how the off-ramp is being constructed, we must first consider the nature of the on-ramp many systemites—along with many of our sleeping fellows—still believe we’re hurtling up as we speak.

    The trap was always to lure Trump—and by extension, the American people—into ownership of the next generational quagmire, to gift the warmongers, the financial architects of globalism, the ideological interventionists and the performative patriots the exact headlines and images they have hungered for since the early years of this century.

    As for the mechanism of said trap, I believe that Trump and company essentially rug-pulled a False Flag attack that would have been BLAMED on the Iranians, and yet, which would have been planned by those who want nothing but war WITH the Iranians, a trap which is likely being disclosed to us in some unexpected ways, and which the White House’s official response to does nothing to disabuse me of my notions regarding.

    This is why Marco Rubio said the American pre-emptive strike was meant to pre-empt an Israeli pre-emptive strike, in order to avoid a pre-emptive (meaning, pre-seeded) ‘response’ to said strike that would have justified a 9/11-style invasion dialectic.

    And yes, that actually makes sense, if you re-read it. It also might just be why Donald Trump, when asked directly last week if Israel had “forced his hand,” responded by saying, “I might have forced theirs.”

    But I digress, as the details of the story matter less than its core themes, and hopefully, its key learnings…..”

  6. “Spring showed up this year right on schedule, which is more than we can say for most things in life. The first day of spring is today, as it lands on Friday, March 20, and it arrives with the vernal equinox. That is the official, astronomical way of saying winter is finally done overstaying its welcome.

    At exactly 10:46 this morning Eastern time, the sun crosses the celestial equator, moving from the southern half of the sky to the northern.

    What makes this day a little special is that the Earth is not leaning one way or the other. For a fraction of a moment, it is suspended equally. The result is that day and night are almost perfectly equal all over the world. Twelve hours of light, twelve hours of dark, give or take a few minutes, but just for this one day.

    From here on out, the days start stretching longer, the sun climbs higher, and everything on the farm begins to wake up, whether we are ready or not.

    Today is the official start of astronomical spring, and it will run straight through until the summer solstice on June 21. After that, we start sliding the other direction again, but there is no sense worrying about that just yet. For now, the light is coming back, the ground is softening, and the long list of things we said we would do “when it warms up” is about to come due.

    For me, April and May are my favorite months. It is the time when life renews. I treasure every moment of spring. For me, it is like Christmastime every day.

    The temperature is forecasted to be 73 degrees today in Virginia – time to get myself outside!”

The suit alleges Harvard failed to protect its Jewish and Israeli students by ignoring hostility on campus and refusing to enforce anti-harassment rules, according to The Wall Street Journal. 

    The suit will reportedly be filed in federal district court in Massachusetts and attempts to make the Ivy League college comply with civil rights law and recover millions of taxpayer dollars that Harvard accepted while allegedly in violation of the law.

    Last month, the administration sued Harvard, accusing the school of failing to comply with a federal investigation and seeking documents to determine whether it had illegally considered race in its admissions process, according to Reuters.”

  9. Just The News: “The Trump administration filed its response Thursday in the birthright citizenship case, which the Supreme Court is expected to hear next month. The case centers on President Donald Trump’s executive order directing federal agencies to interpret the 14th Amendment as excluding birthright citizenship to the children of illegal migrants and tourists.

    Trump imposed the order last year as a means to deter pregnant tourists from having their babies in the United States and illegal migrants to stop using the method as a way to remain in the country. 

    The Trump administration argued in the brief response that the Constitution’s Citizenship Clause was intended to grant citizenship to freed slaves and their children, and therefore have an allegiance to the United States.

    “Children of temporarily present or illegal aliens do not qualify because their parents are not domiciled in, and thus do not owe the requisite allegiance to the United States,” the brief reads, per journalist Benjamin Weingarten. “Temporarily present aliens are by definition not domiciled here, while illegal aliens lack the legal capacity to form such a domicile.”

    The Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments in the case on April 1.”

    Joe Kent goes on Tucker Carlson. Within minutes — not hours, minutes — the same clip, same caption, same outrage floods hundreds of accounts simultaneously. http://HonestReporting.AI
     Labs tracked every amplification event in real time, and the data is damning.

    The trigger quote — 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘴𝘳𝘢𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 — was clipped and posted across hundreds of accounts almost simultaneously. Not after it trended. During the broadcast. Real breaking news takes time to spread organically. This had a running start.

    Who amplified it? Look at the coalition: 

    Russian state TV (RT). 
    Iranian state media through HispanTV. 
    Hamas-aligned Quds News Network. 
    Turkish state broadcaster TRT. 
    Sputnik Brasil. 

    And simultaneously — Jackson Hinkle, Candace Owens, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Max Blumenthal. 
    Russia, Iran, Hamas, and MAGA dissidents. 

    All posting the same message. At the same time.

    When does that happen naturally? It doesn’t.

    The charts tell the story precisely. Within 2 to 4 hours of the Tucker broadcast, tracked amplification events spiked to 30 — dominated by MAGA dissident amplifiers and Pro-Palestinian/Islamist networks firing in parallel. 

    The second chart shows how far the narrative traveled from what Kent actually said. By the time the amplification cycle was complete, the message had escalated from Kent’s original claim all the way to “Israel controls America” — an approximately 85-90% departure from source material. That is not interpretation. That is narrative laundering.

    The rollout wasn’t spontaneous. Kent resigned. Tucker booked him within hours. Real whistleblowers are chaotic. They call journalists from parking lots. They don’t have a media tour lined up before the ink dries on their resignation letter.

    And here’s what got buried in all of it: from 2020 to 2024, Joe Kent publicly and repeatedly called for destroying Iran’s nuclear AND ballistic capabilities. That record was almost completely absent from the amplified conversation. Narrative laundering doesn’t only determine what to amplify. It determines what to erase.

    The FBI was already investigating Kent. He resigned to control the narrative. The speed, the uniformity, and the foreign state amplification are not organic. This was a coordinated information operation — and the people pushing it included both foreign adversaries and Americans who should know better.

    Here is the key and answers the question of “why” Tulsi Gabbard grabbed the voting machines in Puerto Rico instead of from one of the crooked democrat states:

    “We approached P.R. because the request (which they agreed to) provided for a smooth transfer of the hardware, since there are no sovereign-state power barriers.”

    “And for this reason, no lawsuits, injunction requests, temporary restraining orders, or court challenges were filed to block, delay, or contest the handover. The ODNI was undertaking this investigation on the down low, away from prying eyes and the attention it would have otherwise drawn.”

    And this investigation into nationwide election fraud, is centered around the machines and foreign interference.

    The investigation has been going on, a lot longer than people realize.

    I would like to add an important point to AwakenedOutlaw’s excellent analysis.

    When Tulsi Gabbard got access to these voting machines in Puerto Rico, that gave her access to all the dominion machines being used nationwide, because they are all connected and have a “built in” back door access.
    These machines have been demonstrated to be easily accessed secretly and able to switch votes, which many people witnessed happening live on election night coverage.

    Our election system was purposely compromised by foreign entities with the help of the democrat party.

    It’s a national security threat and treason.

    EVERYTHING is about to change.

The former VP’s choice to back out follows an uproar from concerned citizens who question the appropriateness of using public funds for her personal promotional activities. 

    Despite her earlier commitments, Kamala Harris decided to cut her tour short, leaving many to wonder about the implications of her decision. Critics have labeled this episode as a glaring example of political elitism, where taxpayer money is seemingly funneled into providing security for a book tour. Others think she’s cancelled the tour because the book just isn’t selling. Sounds about right to me.”

He did not. That’s a fact, bro. You are a liar and a bullsh*tter. And you know it. I offered you that briefing and you didn’t take it.

The same people out there, clan of people who were telling you out there that Iran’s no threat can constantly tell you or imply at least that Iran was behind this kid produced no evidence. They tell you they know something and then they go but Iran’s no threat. You just implied Iran tried to shoot Trump at with through this kid. Which story is it mother? Which story is it? Get your story straight. We don’t have any evidence of that. 

    Yes, Iran wants to kill Trump. Yes, this kid is a lunatic. It happens all the time a sadly. John Hinkley, Arthur Bremer, people lose their minds and do stupid stuff. Here’s another more from this article. You guys can read it yourself. The home was completely swept, every device was collected and accessed. There were reports out there say we didn’t get into certain devices. That’s false. That is just made up.

    WHY IS THE DEEP STATE AND ITS MEDIA ARM GOING AFTER TULSI GABBARD? A thread.

    1/ The attacks started the moment she was confirmed as DNI. The NYT, WaPo, Guardian — coordinated barrages. But look at the *pattern* and ask who benefits.

    2/ WAVE ONE — THE IRAN TRAP (March 2025): Tulsi testified that the IC assessed Iran was NOT building a nuclear weapon. That is literally her job — she read the community’s assessment. It was NOT her personal opinion. But the press plastered it everywhere to wedge her from Trump.

    3/ WAVE TWO — THE WHISTLEBLOWER SMEAR (Feb 2026): The Guardian and NYT ran coordinated stories claiming Tulsi ‘hid’ a complaint for 8 months. Tulsi fired back: the IG found the complaint NOT CREDIBLE. Sen. Tom Cotton: ‘just another smear campaign.’ She followed the law. Every. Single. Time.

    4/ WAVE THREE — JOE KENT (March 2026): Tulsi appointed Kent to lead NCTC. This same man spent YEARS warning Iran was a major threat. Then he abruptly quits, does a Tucker Carlson tour, and NOW says Iran is no threat and Trump was ‘dragged into war by Israel.’ An about-face so complete it’s almost choreographed.

    The press immediately tied the Kent chaos back to TULSI — not to Kent.

    5/ WHY TULSI? Because while all this noise was being made, she was quietly doing THIS:

    Declassified JFK, RFK & MLK files
    Released proof Obama’s team MANUFACTURED the Russia hoax ICA
    Declassified Biden-era docs labeling political dissidents as ‘domestic extremists’
    Cut ODNI bloat by 40%, saving $700M/year
    Revoked clearances of Clapper, Brennan-linked figures
    Investigating Crossfire Hurricane, COVID origins, election security

    6/ THE DNI HAS UNIQUE DECLASSIFICATION POWER. No other cabinet official can do what she’s doing. She is the only person in government with the authority and the will to expose the institutional criminality of the intelligence community — and they know it.

    7/ Joe Kent didn’t embarrass himself. He was deployed as a heat-seeking missile aimed at Tulsi — to give the media a ‘Gabbard chaos’ narrative, create distance between her and Trump, and pressure her resignation before she finishes the job.

    8/ The London press, the NYT, the WaPo — none of them are covering what she’s actually DONE. They’re covering the noise designed to stop her.

    Tulsi Gabbard is directly over the target. That’s why every gun is pointing at her.

A new study commissioned by the Library of Congress confirms that only 25% of the films produced by major American studios in the silent era still exist, and only 11% of them in their original 35 mm format. 

    That means that the vast majority of films produced in America before 1929 have been lost entirely, from the first-ever 3D film to a Cleopatra movie starring the original vamp, Theda Bara. When you look at the entire world it gets even worse – Scorsese’s preservation-focused Film Foundation has estimated that 90% of the world’s silent films are gone forever.”

  22. (From a Breitbart report) – “Iran’s fleet of several hundred — perhaps more than a thousand — speedboat-size paramilitary attack boats are being hunted by the Air Force in the Gulf, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine said at a briefing on Thursday. Presenting an update on the status of Operation Epic Fury, General Caine revealed: “the A-10 Warthog is now in the fight across the southern flank, and is hunting and killing fast-attack watercraft in the Straits of Hormuz”.

    The A-10 may be especially well suited to the role, given it benefits from a long loiter time and availability of mission-appropriate, highly destructive, and cost-effective munitions for hunting down unarmoured fibreglass boats. Among them is the A-10’s integral 30mm Gatling gun, the GAU-8 Avenger.

    Caine said: “we continue to hunt and kill mine storage facilities and naval ammunition depots. We continue to hunt and kill afloat assets including more than 120 vessels and 44 minelayers and the pressure will continue.”

    “Trump Calls on China to Help with Strait of Hormuz!”

    Clandestine, Mar 20, 2026

    “VERY interesting 👀 Trump once again calls out NATO for not willing to help with the Strait of Hormuz. Then Trump calls on Japan and CHINA to help out, since they are the ones who use it most.

    If Trump can get China to help, that would be COLOSSAL! The optics would be perfect. If China helps, that would solidify that this operation with Iran had global support, even from our perceived geopolitical adversaries, like China. It would confirm that the Iranian regime was a threat to the world, and Trump was right to destroy them.

    It also opens the door to normalized relations with China, and proves that NATO are not actually the allies they pretend to be. It adds validity to my hypothesis that we are witnessing a shift in the global order and alliances. If China helps the US and NATO doesn’t, the entire geopolitical landscape will be turned on its head.
