Do you remember when Trump promised that, if elected, energy costs would go down by 50 percent? Well, they have gone up by 44 percent (so far). Gasoline currently costs about $4.40 per gallon nationally. In plain language, Trump’s betrayal of his promise to not stir up another war in the Middle East has resulted in Americans’ cost-to-drive going up by just shy of 50 percent – and in just four months’ time.
As bad as that it is, worse, arguably, has been Trump’s dismissive, contemptuous comments about the costs he’s imposed on Americans. It’s all “worth it,” he says. Adding that he “doesn’t think much about Americans’ financial situation.” if he had said either of these things during the 2024 campaign, it is likely Kamala Harris would have been elected. Not that it would have mattered, given the puppet put at the head of the show does not change the show. Except in one important way. Had Harris been selected puppet for the string pullers who put on the show, the resurgent opposition to the string-pullers would have retained its cohesion. Instead, it has fractured into factions, the major ones being the demoralized and the deluded.
This was probably the object of the exercise. It would certainly cause the pieces to fall into place. It would make sense of what is going on. Trump was selected to destroy what the string-pullers rightly perceive to be at least a nascent, embryo threat to their show. And to usher in a new show. You can perceive the pieces of that falling into place. The data centers being built all over the country. What could they be for? Why, exactly, is “data” such an important commodity? It is said because we’re to be bought and sold, basically – and there is probably truth in that. The corporate-government nexus has determined it must know everything about us. Why? Because knowledge is power. Especially when the corporate-government nexus (in that order) has the power to leverage that knowledge via coercion. Why do you suppose Google – and it is not just Google – wants to scan your ID/face as a condition of being allowed to search the Internet? Why do you suppose the bank bar-scans your (sic) driver’s license every time you make a transaction, even though the teller has known you for 20 years?
Why do you think one of the very first things Trump did after he was inaugurated was to invite three tech bros to the White House for a public circle jerk? You got a look at some of the string-pullers but most didn’t see them. Probably because they didn’t want to. That is how the string-pullers successfully selected Trump as their puppet. Desperate people – after four years of vacant-eyed Biden, “masking” and the LGBTQ+ parade – desperately wanted to believe Trump was not a puppet, but – as always – he came with strings attached. Strings we could have seen if we’d set aside our wish to not see them. After all, it was Trump who set the stage for everything that came after Biden was selected to front the show for awhile. It was Trump who put the “mask” on – and then took it off. Who declared the “emergency” that he could have ended that set all the pieces in place to assure the selection of the vacant vessel calling itself Joe Biden.
People want to forget – and so they did. They have forgotten all about Fauci and his gang, not one of whom has ever been charged with a crime. Many no longer want to hear anything about Epstein, either and are (apparently) content to pay 44 percent more for energy because it is their puppet who is responsible for it. It is understandable. The denial. The apologetics. It is very difficult to come to terms with having been not just fooled but badly fooled. To realize one has been the tool of a truly malicious person. It is too much for some to come to grips with and so they don’t. Instead, they continue to believe and even more fervently so.
But – as dark as this scene is – there is some light to be seen. It could be true that, for the first time since the war that created a United State out of what was the United States – there is widespread understanding that there is no voting our way out of this. That the system is a show – and it’s a rigged one. That it does not matter which of the two puppets you vote for, as the string pullers win every selection. There is in fact just one way out of this – and people increasingly understand what it is, though it is not something many are ready to say out loud. 
This does not mean a call to violence – unless one regards self-defense as improper. Those who do are unworthy of consideration, having shown themselves to be not just slaves but agreeable ones. It does mean resistance. The beginning of which is coming to terms with facts, including that we are not going to vote our way out of this. And that rights are only valid to the extent people are willing to assert them against those who would take them away.
Trust people you know can be trusted because they have earned your trust. Never trust anyone who hasn’t earned it first.

How about we jail the people that don’t follow the “rules”?
Hi DH,
That’s what they did in Soviet Russia. How about the “rules” comport with what is (morally) right?
44%? According to the married sodomite with children, former Soros Hedge Fund Manager, Treasury Secretary Bessent, “for many families, it’s not nothing. But, it’s been less than $200 in extra gasoline cost.” Again playing the blame-game against the far left, he added, “all the Democrats want to talk about now is beef and gasoline,” noting that “last year, it was eggs, eggs, eggs.”
“How much is Scott Bessent’s net worth?
“Accusing him of downplaying the Iran war’s impact on the average American household and being “completely out of touch,” netizens instantly fired back at Bessent’s ultra-wealthy status after his remarks on Friday. Even US politicians joined the general public in tearing apart the Treasury Secretary’s claims.
“Is this a joke? Scott Bessent wants you to ignore the soaring cost of gas because he thinks $200 doesn’t matter. For many workers in Nevada, that’s an entire day’s pay erased!” US Senator Cortez Masto fumed on X. “This is what you get from an administration of out-of-touch millionaires and billionaires.” …A financial disclosure filed with the US Office of Government Ethics in December 2024 listed his minimum net worth at $521 million. Thereafter, a June 2025 Forbes report estimated the macro investment firm Key Square Group founder’s net worth “somewhere in the ballpark of $600 million,” adding that he has ” long enjoyed displaying his wealth, buying and selling at least 20 homes over the years while assembling a collection of art and antiques.”

That’s my take also, Jack –
How could it be otherwise? We have to feel the full effects of this stupid, evil war – for one. For two, I do not believe a “deal” is imminent. The Iranians are not going to turn over their nuclear materials (if any). If they do, they are fools and deserve what they get.
All Islamists should be liquidated.
I see the jews got to you demonizing Muslims while the jews rape the world with its financial criminality, wars and land grabs.
Muslims are among the most honorable people on the planet. The same cannot be said for jews.
My experience:
In my businesses, I have dealt with people of all stripes. I have provided a needed technical service at a fair price which is beneficial for all.
I have had many repeat customers, not having to advertise except by “word-of-mouth”. My reputation is valuable and is a part of my ethics–providing an honest, capable and professional service at a fair price.
I have dealt with many middle easterners, where “haggling” is a part of doing business. I have no problem with “haggling”, understanding that in middle eastern and even in other cultures, bargaining on price is “the way things are done” and I respect that.
I have never had a problem with Muslim customers. Yes, “haggling” does go on, but when I explain the reasons for the pricing of my services, they accept the agreed-upon costs.
I have NEVER had a good experience in my business dealing with jews.
Yes, they “haggle” which is to be expected, but they also are aggressive in their demands for a lower price, no matter how reasonable the cost.
Not only that, jews do not pay their bills either on time, or the agreed-upon amount. The times that I have accepted business from a jew, they either don’t attempt to pay at all, late pay or pay a lesser than the agreed-upon amount. Attaching a lien to the property is one of the only ways to assure that a jew will pay his bill.
I learned my “lesson” many decades ago and will not deal with jews without demanding payment “up front”. If paid by check, I rush to the bank and deposit the check before a NSF (none sufficient funds) situation arises.
In fact, I prefer not to deal with jews at all. The hassle and aggravation is just not worth it.
Hi DH,
Well, that’s very Old Testament of you!
The whole world is now a Potemkin Village, a jew illusion.
Unfortunately, this is no illusion:

Israel delenda est.
And? How does this change what you were planning to do tomorrow? You sound like half the women I know, emotion over rationality.
Zio-Steve, you are one callous bastard!
Maybe. I never knew these people before today, and likely, neither did you. Yet one of us think this the most important thing evah, the other that maybe it’s none of his business.
Lack of empathy is, of course, an essential characteristic of Zionism. That family that neither of us knew of until murdered, were just dirty cockroaches trespassing on the land God promised to the nation state of Israel. Not important at all.
On a slow weekend in Chicago, there are 5 murders. You aren’t clutching pearls about that. Why the selective outrage? Just because it suits your politics?
Ah yes, the old fallacy of relative privation. There are many murders in Chicago so the IDF killing a family is fine.
Not so much a fallacy.
You obviously don’t give a flying fuck about one set of murders. I’m at lest consistent. Neither is going to affect what I do this weekend.
And, if I were to bet, I’d guess your plans didn’t change, either. Just more outrage porn.
You are one miserable bastard. Please take your Zionist sociopathy elsewhere.
Murder victims in Chicago are (a) likely not wholly innocent people (likely gang and drug beefs) and (2) are most certainly not caused by the same goddamn perpetrator for nearly 80 years like the hundreds of thousands of murders committed by the state of Israel.
Well, you’re replying to these comments. Maybe you should make a contribution to Jewbelong.org. Buy another lying billboard. It must be trillions of dollars having the US Military/CIA/ NSA/FBI at the disposal of Israel.
Yeah, Steve, One American, Daniel Pearl, is beheaded 23 years ago and you are still using that to justify forever war with 350 million Arabs, but when Israelis murder entire Arab families day after day after day and send their army to wipe out the cities and villages in entire regions as they are doing now in Southern Lebanon and did in Gaza for the past three years displacing over 7 million people: don’t get emotional, just go about your daily business. It’s not like its the Nazi holocaust or anything.
Guess that’s what you call “chutzpah.” (Not usually a fan of Dugin) ➡️In American slang, based on Jewish jargon, there is a term “chutzpah.” What does it mean? — It refers to when a criminal, caught at the scene of a murder or rape, starts screaming wildly that the crime was committed by the first person who entered the room. He speaks with such audacity, insolence, and inner conviction that he himself is the innocent victim, and the real witness is the executioner, that it can be paralyzing. This is endless, sadistic aggressiveness combined with a desire to elicit pity and shift the blame onto the innocent. And they even rejoice when that innocent person is executed.
➡️This “chutzpah” is currently being demonstrated by Israel: the more they kill Palestinian children, the louder they scream about the rise of anti-Semitism worldwide and how they are victims of injustice. The more crimes committed, the louder the outcry. The Ukrainian Nazis behave in exactly the same way. This is true chutzpah.
➡️That is, to commit a monstrous crime in front of the whole world, accuse the very victims of it, and then nonchalantly ask for support so that they can continue in the same vein. This is how both the European Union and the USA operate, along with Trump, who steals leaders, destroys the leadership of sovereign states, and then casually says: “I made a great deal with them, a wonderful agreement has been reached.”
➡️We have entered an era of “chutzpah.” This is a completely unnatural, inhuman model of behavior demonstrated by Ukrainians, along with Israelis and Americans. This has become the style of the collective West: to commit a monstrous crime in front of everyone, with special cynicism destroy the innocent, and then demand attention for themselves. They don’t even feel remorse or offer explanations — they blame everything on others, portraying the victims as guilty. It cannot be explained any other way.

This is my business, because the US fedgov gave $30 billion to the toxic little apartheid colony over the past three years.
Why don’t you make aliyah, Steve, and leave us actual Americans alone?
Illinois got $55 billion in just COVID cash. Why are the Chicago murders also your business?
Steve, Our taxes ain’t funding the murderers. Here’s the latest on the termites:
“CONGRESS IS QUIETLY FUSING THE U.S. AND ISRAELI MILITARIES AND HIDE AID
Buried in the House’s 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) released Tuesday is Section 224: “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative.”
This provision would integrate the U.S. military with the Israeli military more deeply than the $200 billion in military aid Israel has received since 1948.
What it does:
🔸Bilateral R&D and co-production of weapons
🔸Joint ventures, licensing agreements, defense tech cooperation across AI, quantum, autonomous systems, directed energy, cyber, biotech
🔸”Network integration” and “data fusion,” meaning U.S. military data becomes Israeli military data
🔸Expands Israeli co-production facilities in the U.S. (Mississippi, Arkansas), creating U.S. jobs tied to Israeli interests
This would provide deeper military-industrial integration than the U.S. has with any other country, including NATO allies. The U.S. typically provides weapons to foreign militaries. This is different: it fuses entire defense sectors.
By expanding co-production facilities on U.S. soil, the Israeli government gains one of the most powerful levers in U.S. politics: jobs. Members of Congress representing districts with Israeli defense jobs become locked into supporting Israeli interests.
This shifts Israel cooperation from visible annual aid votes into the opaque machinery of defense acquisition. Less oversight. Minimal political accountability. A relationship that is simultaneously deeper and less transparent.
This comes as:
🔸64% of Americans say Trump was wrong to go to war with Iran
🔸Only 16% say the U.S. should keep supplying Israel weapons without restrictions
🔸38% want to stop supplying weapons entirely
🔸24% want weapons conditioned on how Israel uses them
🔸Yet Congress is moving to bind the U.S. military to Israel more tightly than ever.
The gap between what Americans want and what Congress is doing is vast. And Congress is closing it by making the relationship less visible, not more.
https://x.com/DD_Geopolitics/status/2060496123190825271
It’s worse. Congress is about to give israeli IDF soldiers American veterans’ benefits.
IDF soldiers will go to the head of the line while real American veterans who are already enduring long waits for benefits and services will be pushed to the back of the line.

Time for Weimar wheelbarrow
moneycurrency:‘Trump administration officials have pressed the office responsible for printing the nation’s money to design a $250 bill featuring the president’s portrait, according to four current and former employees, in what would be the first appearance of a living person on U.S. currency in more than 150 years.
‘Starting last year, two political appointees at the Treasury Department — U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach and his senior adviser, Mike Brown — repeatedly urged staff at the agency’s Bureau of Engraving and Printing to prepare prototypes of the note, according to the employees, who said the move raised concerns because federal law currently allows only deceased people to appear on bills.’ — WaPo
https://archive.ph/E93t3#selection-383.0-391.386
Deceased people? No problem — just convict the f*cker of treason, and hang his worthless ass.
Screw Trump, screw the Repuke party, and screw Israel.
A $250 bill? That’s almost as queer as a $3 bill – and will probably buy just as much by the time it’s printed!
Hey buddy….
I remember when I checked out Charlottesville Vagina and at Monticello they give me back $2.00 dollar bills as change ???
What gives with that chit man?
Hi Expat,
Yup. The $2 bill honors TJ. It is out of circulation – generally, as they don’t print them anymore. But still legal tender.
I still have a stash in my “Confederate funny money “ collection.👍
I have a couple of $2 in good condition. They are indeed “out of circulation”, as I do not plan to spend them.
A $200 FRN makes more sense to me than a $250.
Just slide the decimal point over 2 places.
But whose face? Not TJ, obviously, since he owned slaves.
I vote for Katy D:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katharine_McCormick
who probably did more to advance the status of women than any woman in history.
Also, resume production of the $500 bill. With $100, $200 & $500 bills in circulation, you won’t need a wheelbarrow to buy a loaf of bread. Just Benjies, Katies and Bills (Wm. McKinley).
These will be the new “small bills”. at least for awhile.
$1, $5, $10 & $25 will be considered “small change”, of course. Just think, we’ll have the Washington penny, Lincoln nickel, Hamilton dime, and Jackson quarter. The times they are a’changin..
Reminds me of the guy who was passing counterfeit $19 bills. He bought a Coke for a buck, and offered the checkout one of his freshly printed bills. The cashier asked him, “How do you want your change? Three $6s or two $9s?”
Morning, Steve,
That’s a good one! Trump has got to be kidding about the “$250” bill, though. The man seems to be professionally/congenitally childish.
“My $250 bill buys just as much as a $100 bill did back under Obama…but it’s better since it’s a $250 bill.”
That’s funny! And depressingly close to the truth.
I assume it’s going to be a one-off. A special run for just this year. The $100 is already in common use for money laundering and drug (and human) trafficking. Same reason the EU was forced to stop issuing 500 Euro notes.
“VOTE HARDER” is a meme derived from “pray harder”. It describes the futility of hope. Billions of people pray for peace every single day. But there is no peace. What is a skeptic to conclude about voting or praying?
I can think of no faster route to becoming an atheist, losing your faith, than thinking about our hopeless situation. Christians say all the time God is in charge. Uh-huh. If there is a god is charge, he must be a bad god because earth is hell.
What kind of god puts loving humans beings in hell to be tortured by Torah believing Jews? I am a stranger in the Jewish run world, a hell scape were little kids are raped and eaten by the Epstein class – and the person we voted to expose this utter debauchery is protecting them – who he says is his friends.
Being on earth with Jews is like being a loving hippie in prison with hard core murderers and rapists. I come to the conclusion that Trump is one of the most evil rulers in the history of man.
I agree, Jack –
There’s also that difficult business in both the OT and the new about slavery; about how it’s approved and allowed and here’s how you are to buy/treat your slaves. And (NT) how slaves ought to obey dey massas. Also wholesale massacre of peoples, including women, children and old people. The dashing of babies’ heads against rocks and so on. Very difficult to reconcile with moral perfection. I have also never understood how God sacrificing himself to himself as penance to himself works, exactly. Nor how a God can die.
I do not like to get too religious, Eric. But, the NT also instructs slave masters how to treat their slaves, reminding them that they, too, have a Master in Heaven, and that there is no partiality with Him. Also, every seven years masters were supposed to release their slave. I surmise if everyone treated others the way they were treated, the world may not be the way it is now.
Forget all that church bullshit. Just read Matthew 23:
Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples:
“The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
“Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries[a] wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.
“But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven…”
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2023&version=NIV
“I have also never understood how God sacrificing himself to himself as penance to himself works, exactly.”
It does not make sense because it is religious fiction. God never had to die on a cross to forgive our sins, all He had to do is change His mind. I can change my mind, but God can not?
People invented religions, all of them, including Christianity. The reason Christianity is so popular is because it promises eternal life free of charge. There is no proof, you just have to believe.
Christianity also has given billions of people throughout the ages hope of a better life. The problem is the promise is a lie, it is theocratic make believe. No one beats death. But people have minds, they know they exist, and thus they believe they can beat death because the alternative is horrifying to their ego. No one wants to die, thus the idea you can live forever is one of the most virulent memes of all time.
The Buddha said all life is suffering. I’ve made the point again and again that first observation of the Buddha is the greatest condemnation of the Creator and Life of all time.
Why should any life suffer? Why do we live in a system of suffering. Anyone who has suffered enough will soon realize that their life was not worth it. Why live if you suffer? What is the point?
For myself I would never choose to live my life. I was created against my will. I have come to the firm conclusion it is a mistake to create more life, like have children. Only a monster has a child knowing the child will live a life of suffering.
God tells Adam and Eve to pro-create. Man is to repeat the mistake of God by creating more life.
I used to drive Lasha Darkmoon crazy. She used to be a featured writer at the truthseeker and other websites. I got under her skin, she published this to mock me, but read it for yourself:
https://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/?p=229231
I stand by every word, she however, published snippets of my long (and very logical reasoned) responses.
The one thing she especially could not hear was the idea that if your existence is a life suffering, then it would be better to not exist. I told her our goal should be no lives at all, no past lives, no present life, no future lives. I made the point that things in Amerika are going to get much worse. Thus, you do not want to reincarnate again.
“…all He had to do is change His mind.”
Nope. Assuming He is perfect, either he was right before or after he “changed his mind.” He can’t hold contradictory positions. See Aquinas’ discussion on the unmovable post and the unstoppable force, or the “Can He make something so heavy He can’t lift it.”
“I have also never understood how God sacrificing himself to himself as penance to himself works, exactly. Nor how a God can die.”
It doesn’t, and He can’t.
The idea is that He meets us where we are, and in the times of the OT, humans believed that a real god demanded human sacrifices. “No, you don’t have to sacrifice Isaac. Only the fake gods require things like that.” Jesus was just the, “For the last time, no, I don’t need human sacrifice!”
And the Resurrection is just the restatement that God cannot die, and, extending on the idea, no child of God can die.
“I have also never understood how God sacrificing himself to himself as penance to himself works, exactly. Nor how a God can die.”
[When Adam offended God, God kicked him and Eve and all their offspring out of Paradise and barred the gates. “To the woman He said: I will multiply thy sorrows, and thy conceptions: in sorrow shalt thou bring forth children, and thou shalt be under thy husband’s power, and he shall have dominion over thee. And to Adam He said: Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat, cursed is the earth in thy work; with labour and toil shalt thou eat thereof all the days of thy life. Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herbs of the earth. In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread till thou return to the earth, out of which thou wast taken: for dust thou art, and into dust thou shalt return.”
According to Catholic Teaching: A&E lost (AI) “original holiness and original justice” and four specific preternatural gifts that God originally bestowed upon them: (1) Sanctifying Grace (Original Holiness): They lost the divine life in their souls, which meant they were no longer in perfect friendship and communion with God. (2) Bodily Immortality: They lost the gift that protected them from sickness, bodily decay, and physical death. (3) Impassibility: They lost the inability to suffer; pain and physical hardship became a reality. (4) Integrity: They lost the perfect harmony between the intellect, the will, and human passions. This resulted in concupiscence—the human tendency and inclination to sin—as well as a darkened intellect and ignorance.”
God gave them some gifts: (1) Clothed them with skins (had to kill an animal to do that), (2) Put enmity between the serpent and the woman and her offspring (never take him for a friend again) and promised messiah through the woman (3) “she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.” (Genesis 3:15 )]
Since man, a finite created being, committed an infinite offense by offending infinite being, (AI) “Original sin caused an infinite rupture in humanity’s relationship with God, and fallen human nature alone lacked the capacity to make adequate reparation.
“The necessity of Christ’s mission rests on several core theological pillars:
(1) Infinite Offense and Justice: Because God is infinite, an offense against Him (original sin) carries a quasi-infinite weight. An infinite debt was incurred, which mere finite human beings could not repay.
(2) The Incarnation: To bridge the infinite gap between God and humanity, the mediator had to be both fully God (to offer a sacrifice of infinite value) and fully man (to represent and pay the penalty for humanity).
(3) Perfect Obedience: The fall of Adam and Eve was an act of disobedience and pride. It required a “New Adam”—Jesus Christ—whose perfect obedience and humility, culminating in His passion and death, atoned for that original disobedience.
(4) Restoring Divine Life: Original sin deprived humanity of original holiness and justice, leaving human nature wounded and subject to death. Through the Paschal Mystery (the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus), Christ did more than just cancel a debt; He defeated death and restored humanity’s access to the divine life of grace.”
__________
(AI) “In Catholic theology, Jesus’s death is understood through the doctrine of the hypostatic union. This means Jesus is fully God and fully human. While his divine nature is eternal and cannot die, the physical human nature he took on was capable of dying. When the historical Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem around 30–33 AD, it was his human body and mortal life that experienced death, separating his human soul from his physical body. The eternal Son of God did not cease to exist, nor did the divine nature die.
To explore this further, consider these perspectives:Two Natures in One Person: Jesus is one single person with two distinct natures—one divine and one human. He died in his humanity, but he is still God.
Separation, Not Annihilation: In theology, physical death is defined as the separation of the soul and body, not the end of existence. Jesus willingly surrendered his human life, and his divine power later resurrected his body.
Voluntary Sacrifice: Because Jesus was fully human, he could act as a substitute for humanity’s sins, and because he was fully God, his sacrifice was absolute.”
_______
(AI) “The Catholic Mass shows forth (proclaims) the death of the Lord until He comes by acting as an unbloody re-presentation of the sacrifice of Calvary. Through transubstantiation—where the bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Christ—the Mass makes the eternal sacrifice of Jesus a present reality across time and space. The Separate Consecration: The distinct consecration of the bread into the Body and the wine into the Blood symbolizes the separation of Christ’s blood from his body on the Cross, visibly demonstrating His death.”
‘a hellscape where little kids are raped and eaten by the Epstein class’ — Yukon Jack
These folks seems to think they can mass murder tens of thousands in Gaza and Lebanon, without consequence here in America. For once, it isn’t so:
‘A 69-year-old man known in his San Diego County neighborhood as the owner of the “Trump house” died from injuries suffered when he was brutally assaulted outside of his home.
‘Kerry George Sheron of Escondido was hospitalized in critical condition last week after he was attacked outside his MAGA-themed residence at East Mission Avenue and Buchanan Street around 2 p.m., according to the city Police Department. The alleged attacker, Thomas Caleb Butler, 32, fled on foot and was apprehended that day.
‘Butler initially was charged with attempted murder, cruelty to an elder resulting in great bodily injury, making a criminal threat and battery, according to the San Diego County district attorney’s office. He pleaded not guilty Friday.
‘On Sunday evening, police were notified that Sheron died. The cause of death is pending determination by the county medical examiner.’

Karma is real, whether scripture-thumping Abrahamic religions accept it or not.
San Diego. That’s part of the problem, though it doesn’t excuse his failure to be armed, as he’s sixty-friggin’-nine! The story should have been about how the geezer shot and killed some worthless, anti-social vermin.
I am quite proud of my deductive reasoning skills, for instance this morning the wife’s Corolla wouldn’t start. I had her turn on the headlights, full bright. I check the battery voltage 12.8 volts, put the charger on it. Still no start, and no starter motor clicking, no whine of the motor spinning. What the chances a Toyota starter goes out on a 4 banger? Not likely. But I could here a faint click from a solenoid. Then it hit me, she had the clutch replaced 3 months ago, and to do a clutch job you gotta remove the starter. I said, I bet it is the connection at the starter, the mechanic forgot to torque the nut. Ta da!
Likewise, the Trump assassination attempt at Butler. Those of us commenters on The Unz Review applied deductive reasoning. At the time, many of us knew Trump was a total fraud, a huckster, a conman, also a serial rapist and mass murderer. We said, they stole the 2020 election to punish Trump, we said Trump was removed because he did not attack Iran. We also said if Trump is re-installed it is because he made a deal with the Zionists, to attack Iran.
We said Trump’s ear blood was faked, we said Trump standing up again with his fist in the air was a Hollywood show. I said Trump would have no problem killing to make it look real. When Charlie Kirk was offed, first suspect was Netanyahu followed by Trump.

I made lots of comments on that article, this is a good one for some logic:

“I became a moon landing skeptic by thinking one day along a probability equation. I think I was fishing, just siting there and wondering, ok … what are the chance they launched Apollo without the rocket blowing up (like they often do)? Got to orbit? Left earth orbit and make it to moon orbit? Assign a mathematical quantity to each phase of the mission, and multiply them together. After getting to moon orbit they had to separate and descend to the surface without crashing ON THE FIRST TRY. C’mon man, do you really believe this was possible? No windows for the pilot to see out of for landing! Then you are made to believe that these Astronots in their big bulky suits, explored with no catastrophic tears in this alien vacuum landscape, who then blasted off back to the orbiter – rejoined – then made it back to earth orbit, and landed with no one dying. The part of blasting off from the moon and rejoining the orbiter beggars belief. To me, that seems very improbable.
So when I got home I checked the internet for someone who was thinking along these lines and immediately found an article about Bill Kaysing, a fellow engineer, who says we never went to the moon, has a book by the same name, and he was intimately involved being a Rocketdyne engineer who worked on these exact engines which put out a massive dark red flame when fired. Well, he says, he is watching the lunar lander blast off from the moon on the TV, and there’s no flame at all! He waved his hand at the TV knowing it was faked right in the moment it was first aired.
Dr. Barrett is like Bill Kaysing, the intelligent skeptic, who early on says hey everyone, this whole Trump attempted assassination looks like a staged photo op – and Trump was in on it! Yeah, I can see that, because like Apollo – the astronots were in on it – they never went to the moon. And if these Masters of Illusion got everyone on the planet to believe in the moon landings, they certainly could fake an assassination attempt – that would be a piece of cake in comparison.
I wrote this before the selection of conman Trump 2.0 on 27 July 2024:
“The political elite rule over us by fooling and engaging us in these 4 year farcical election melodramas. Currently, we are all on the edge of our seats, wondering what will happen next. It is done that way on purpose to keep us voting, and engaging in the system that rules over us. They need us to believe in our candidate, to vote, so that we approve of our enslavement. Voting is a ruse, if voting mattered we would not be allowed to vote. I do believe in savior Trump, I do, I do, I do! (paraphrasing the Wizard of Oz cowardly lion, I do believe in (CIA) spooks, I do, I do, I do). It takes courage to question the official narrative.
Well-said, Jack –
I got fooled; or (rather) I allowed myself to hope. Never again. This is a good thing. I am cured. I am healthy.
Sorry. You are mistaken. Hope is a good thing. Look at it rationally — did you honestly expect your vote to be better than your non-vote? If so, it was rational at the time, and to second guess it is irrational. If, on the other hand, you expected your vote to make things worse, then, yeah, you are a sociopath.
No, Steve –
I held to the stupid belief that voting for Trump (not just me, but lots of us) might result in a course correction for the better, especially as regards these stupid, evil – endless – god-damned wars. In retrospect, I am appalled by my own naivety. The upside is I am forever cured. And I will do all in my power to help others along the path to sound health, too.
Yes, I know. Had I voted for him, that would have been my reason, too. That’s the definition of rational action. Recognize something wrong about the present day, imagine a better tomorrow, conceive of a means to get to that tomorrow, and act on that plan.
It is true that it did not lead to the future either of us wanted, but it’s possible to imagine that it might have. And given that war is such a bad thing, so long as voting has any chance at all of working, it’s almost infinitely better than kicking off a civil war.
Trump is long on promises and short on delivery. Trump does this on purpose to sell himself as the savior. When reporters question him how the package he promised was never sent, Trump either lashes out with a personal attack or says he doesn’t remember.
Trump is King Shit on Turd Mound.
OT: I propose a new law. Ban Ron Desantis for running for president, and kick him out of Florida when he terms out. Then make him governor in another state. Repeat until he’s governor of all 50 states.
https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/florida-governor-calls-special-session-eliminate-property-tax-homeowners
That’s a good joke and I’m all for eliminating property taxes (and most other government, besides), but DeSantis is no savior. He’s an eager minion of ZOG whose loyalty to America and the Constitution is questionable, at best.
It’s the same tired old GOP game of throwing the occasional soundbite/legislative bone to the rubes to keep them on the plantation. Unfortunately, it seems to work which explains why they continue to do it. But me? I’ll wait and see if anything actually comes of it, before getting too excited and shouting ‘hallelujah!’ Never a good idea to count one’s eggs before they’re in the pudding, Calamy! Doubly true when dealing with politicians and propaganda rags like the once-solid ZH.
As for DeSantis, here’s some of his actual legislative handiwork: https://standwithus.com/news/standwithus-thanks-florida-for-passing-the-nation-s-strongest-anti-bds-law/
“StandWithUs thanks Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for signing SB 1678 into law on June 30, 2025. The new law builds on Florida’s existing policies against boycotts of Israel. It now makes sure that the state won’t do business with, invest in, or give grants to schools, non-profits, or governments – whether in the U.S. or other countries – if they take part in discriminatory boycotts against Israel.
StandWithUs’s Director of Policy Education, Jordan Cope , Esq. stated, “With the passage of the strongest anti-BDS law to date, Florida has affirmed its role as a steadfast ally of the Jewish people and a leader in the fight against antisemitism. This landmark legislation sends a powerful message—not only across the U.S., where antisemitism is rising[…]”
Those are the actual priorities of DeSantis and the vast majority of his GOP ilk. Sad, but true!
He is an odd duck, isn’t he? The real question is how he managed to get Republican’ts to vote for even a relaxation of property tax. Not sure that’s happened since before the Constitution, but I’m open to being corrected.
“Why, exactly, is “data” such an important commodity?”
Initially, (and this phase might be coming to an end) it’s simply to get data on what to market to you. This becomes irrelevant once you impoverish the people. Musk has explained it several times — the belief that with enough “training data” you can eventually teach the algorithm how to simulate human intelligence. But rather than training it with our best and brightest, the lion’s share comes from the bottom half of pretty much every measure of happiness and success. After all, the majority of digital ink spilled is complaining from people whose life is not going the way they would like.
And that’s why you have to be really careful about “AI” — the answers it gives are heavily weighted towards the views of malcontents, and “corrected” by the owners of the algorithm to support their politics. You can prove it to yourself easily enough. Look at the answers it gives to COVID or global warming.
While the individual is important to libertarians, and used to be at least somewhat important to society in general, to the mega-state, we are all just interchangeable cogs. They don’t really care that much about any particular person (or maybe not at all), but only about the aggregate. That was Poindexter’s idea behind TIA — that by knowing enough about a profile, you could do pre-crime, and if some eggs get broken in the process…
Gasoline cost is a problem, but we have big problems with motor oil supply. I needed 10qt of 5W40 European Car motor oil, and this was super easy to get in the past, just go to WalMart or OReilly, and done. Most of the local stores didn’t have any inventory, but I managed to get 1 jug at Walmart and another brand jug at PepBoys. The oil shelves were quite empty for most grades of oil.
This is a must watch video about the reality of the situation:
Oil Supply Crisis Won’t End Quickly /Lt Col Daniel Davis & Art Berman

That an evil little apartheid state and its comprised vassal Orange Douchebag and his minions can wage this much destruction on ordinary people throughout the world is beyond sickening.
Guillotines would be too kind.
“There is in fact just one way out of this – and people increasingly understand what it is, though it is not something many are ready to say out loud.”
Well, let’s say it out loud. “when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
Easier said than done. What’s missing is a practical mechanism to achieve this goal without revolution or CW. And a nation drowning under woke/feminista/safety state rules ain’t gonna fight.
Strong men create good times
Good times create strong women
Strong women create hard times
Hard times create strong men
The perpetual cycle of yin and yang is as old as humanity itself.
Yep. And it gets worse. The only people who are getting jazzed up enough to fight support Mamdani and his ilk. The corruption that state capitalism creates over time is widely understood, and, is predictable enough that most anyone can become an “insider”. Less so the authoritarianism and eventual death toll from state socialism.
Out of the frying pan into the fire.
Indeed!
Government only being good at one thing, killing people, when it decides to kill someone they nearly always die.
Only an accomplished shooter (sniper), or an idiot, would try a head shot at that range.
No one who loves themselves as much as Trump does is going to stick their head up and give them another shot.
“the corporate-government nexus”
I call it the other way around. Corporations are the Sons of (Uncle) Sam. Creations of the state allowed to roam wild because it benefits the state, or at least the maleficent creatures who occupy roles within it.
That’s exactly it. State capitalism has always been a means of empowering your cadre, of transferring wealth from the people to your friends.
‘Why, exactly, is “data” such an important commodity?’ — eric
Remember when the NSA’s data center in Bluffdale, Utah went online in 2014? You hear nothing about it now. Partly because it’s secret. But mainly because tech bros saw that puny bid, and drastically upped the ante.
AI sucks up everything — the complete context. Whereas NSA’s unconstitutionally stolen data is like peeping through a keyhole. Without context, Uncle Peeping Tom don’t know what he’s seeing.
You can bet that tech contractors such as Evil Google and Evil Palantir are integrating NSA surveillance data into their ‘black label’ AI versions. Third party tech lords are so much more agile than Evil Govco. And Evil Govco is just fine with this.
Palantir AI helped little Shitrahell execute another six-year-old girl in Lebanon yesterday. Israeli rabbis said she was old enough to rape, being past her third birthday. But the IDF decided to just blow her to bits instead.

Our child-diddling, child-murdering rulers are ‘all in’ on data centers … so we can all be ‘processed’ like Palestinians.
Israel is our misfortune.
I just got back from a long weekend up in Mordor (NoVA) and Baltimore and drove down VA-28 just like the old days and the level of data centers is MIND BLOWING. So glad I trusted my instincts nearly 5 years ago and got the hell out. A friend of mine who moved out to Berryville but still has to go into Sterling occasionally was telling me stories how bad it has got with the noise from these abominations – HOLY SHIT. There is a lot I will add in future comments but this is the future that want to impose everyone.
Also, and this will really get your hackles up, driving up/down I-95 there were several billboards with the message “An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us” (may not be exact words – I could not find the image – funny that) meaning Jews, also sponsored by “Christian Allies” (translation: Christian Zionists). Do these people have any clue that this makes people who are not sheep hate them more, not less?
This will not end well.
Is this it? (Wow!)
https://www.facebook.com/jewbelong/posts/billboards-up-in-myrtle-beach-sc-collab-with-the-christian-allies-collective-tru/1278708037695075/
AI: These prominent, bright pink-and-white billboards along Interstate 95 and other highways are part of a national awareness campaign by JewBelong, a Jewish non-profit, in partnership with the Christian Allies Collective. The signs are specifically placed in high-traffic, predominantly Christian areas to stand in solidarity with Jewish neighbors against the recent surge in antisemitism.
About the Campaign:
The Message: “An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us.”
The Goal: To build bridges of allyship between the Christian and Jewish communities.
The Scope: While the signs frequently run up and down the East Coast—including Virginia’s major travel corridors—JewBelong has expanded this specific messaging across more than 40 states.
You can find more information about their mission and additional billboard locations on the JewBelong website.
Here’s another one w/out the “christian” bs (maybe they’ll get confused and put one of these up at Liberty U/Myrtle Beach):
🎓✡️ It’s time to end Jew hatred on college campuses. New billboard up in NYC on the Long Island Expressway. #Truth
“Remember when college was for losing your virginity–not your mind? jewbelong.org”
https://www.instagram.com/p/C7ATjbvreEw/
Yes. That is it. I saw those in Virginia and South Carolina so it is intended to keep the Christian Zionists firmly in their sheep pens. It pissed me off when I saw them the first time and it pisses me often even more reading about them. Seriously, this is going to backfire big time.
I keep thinking about going up there – back to Sterling, where I used to live – to have a look around (like Tony Cary song) but then I am overcome by fear and loathing and stay home!
Staying away is a wise decision. It has truly become a vision of dystopia.
That is sad, MQ. I read another article recently, how AI data centres also emit a continuous humming noise, which those who live close enough, can hear. Never mind the AI data centre sucking up people’s ground water, and jacking up their electricity rates. Now it will also drive you crazy, as well.
Trump has become Joliet Jake, after visiting the church. He’s on a mission from God.
Of course reality is that he’s probably more like Howard Beale in Network. After Butler PA Trump lost his mind and his mission was to tear down the machine. “We’re mad as hell, and we’re not going to take it anymore!” He didn’t know how, of course, especially what with that pesky rule of law and all that. Then someone like Arthur Jensen (played by Bibi Netanyahu perhaps) sat him down in a dark room and explained how he had a new mission for him, and he was just the man to do it.
“Why me?” Asked Trump
“Because you’re the president, dummy!”
And much like Beale, Trump’s new message of sacrifice for a war half way around the world isn’t resonating. Beale’s ratings tanked and he got the ax. What’s in store for Trump?
Hi RK,
I no longer believe Trump was almost assassinated at Butler. I believe people were killed to make it look like an assassination attempt. I’ll give you three reasons why that I consider persuasive:
One, taken at face value, it was a miracle – in the divine intervention/Biblical sense – that Trump turned his head at exactly the right second to avoid having his head blown off. The odds are probably a million to one (or higher). I do not believe in miracles. But fundamentalist Christians – who are a large cohort of Trump’s base – do. A “miraculous” saving of this sort (look, God preserved him!) would play right into their End Times/messianic beliefs. It also served to galvanize general support for Trump among ordinary Republicans and independents, too.
The crazy “Left” is trying to kill him! We must support him!
Two, a supersonic rifle round passing that close would almost certainly have caused real damage; it would not have merely nicked his ear. Probably his ear drum would have been torn. If you have ever merely fired a high-powered rifle without hearing protection you will know the concussion can temporarily impair your hearing. He batted at the supposed passage of a high velocity rifle round as one would bat at a pesty mosquito. I think it would be very interesting to do a ballistic test. To fire a .223 round that passes that close to a human ear and let’s see what really happens when that happens.
Three, the staged way Trump was allowed to stand up and fist shake. Ridiculous. I do not buy the “incompetent” Secret Service argument. Those people are trained to the nth degree to immediately cover – with their bodies – the president and then get him the Hell out of there. Instead, they let him stand there – in plain view, to potentially get shot again. Bullshit.
Remember: Trump is a showman. And a con man. It was all fake and gay, just like he is.
The “ho-hum, another assassination attempt” attitude reenforces your suspicion. After JFK, even though it was largely to promote an agenda, there was a fairly big and somewhat public investigation. Same thing with Reagan (again, conveniently avoiding some of the glaring happenstance around the suspect), and it was largely publicized. But I think there have been at least 4 close calls as far as I can tell, with little to no coverage other than “oh, here’s another one… in other news…” stories.
But is Trump really dumb enough to let someone fire live rounds in his direction? There were people killed by gunfire at Butler. The recent live-fire event at the White House injured a bystander and shattered a window. Unless he really thinks a bullet proof vest is going to prevent bleed out from a leg artery hit.
Indeed, Rk –
But while live rifle rounds were fired (the dead victims establish this) I do not believe any were shot at Trump. He swatted at a gnat. Or a squib, perhaps. Again, I submit that the lack of any significant damage either to Trump’s ear or his eardrum after a supersonic rifle round (supposedly) passed by that close reveals it was staged.
…and just when you thought the world was not crazy enough, Eric. You might get a laugh out of this one, because otherwise one would just start screaming. A female driver pulled over for supposedly “texting with her right hand”. Whoops, she has no right hand, only a stump… For some, you could file it under the “Cannot Hate Cops Enough” category. Or maybe it is just this LEO’s ordinary Tuesday. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/05/police-bodycam-footage-shows-moment-disabled-woman-flashes/
Morning, Shadow!
I caught that one. It’s another example of the legalistic system we are stuck with. Lots of “offenses” – with no victims. Ergo, much injustice.
The “investigation” in to the JFK assassination was a big fat sham and a total cover-up.
At the tender age of around fifteen, I purchased the “Warren Commission Report on Assassinations”, read it cover-to-cover and thought to myself “what a crock of sh!t”.
I watched MY government do a complete 180 after crypto-jew LBJ achieved the presidency. No longer was israel being reigned in, rather israel became our “boss”, with their phony pre-emptive six-day war and the deliberate murder and wounding of Americans on the USS Liberty (AGTR-5).
Anyone who cannot see that the JFK assassination was a successful coup by the jews is wearing blinders.
We are suffering through the results to this very day…
The hug from the female SS agent a head shorter than he was especially impressive.

Iwo Jima was the esthetic they went for. That was a staged for a propaganda photo as well.

“…it was a miracle – in the divine intervention/Biblical sense”
It was miraculous that a fucking KID with an AR-15 could literally walk up within 140 yards of a president and scale and then shoot FROM THE ROOF OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT BUILDING undetected.
The countersnipers were able to find him remarkably quickly AFTER he started shooting… but somehow they didn’t see him crawl up onto the UNGUARDED roof and get into position.
A kid about whom we know absolutely NOTHING about to this day.
And it was miraculous that the day after the Butler, PA incident… the media started floating obvious disinformation and propaganda that the IRANIANS were trying to assassinate Trump.
https://archive.is/MWRbK
Well-said, X –
The point about the kid especially. Who was he? Who were his parents? Why did he make the (cough) attempt? Nothing, almost. Just wiped from the pages of history. My own suspicion is he was a sheep-dipped dupe who was positioned to be shot and then identified as the “sniper.” Lee Oswald rebooted.
Or an MKULTRA drone…
Exactly Eric,
The kid was conveniently killed and then memory holed. Was probably set up with some psychedelic drug for his performance.
I agree totally Eric. My spidey sense was that it was all fake and gay when I first saw the video. It was confirmed with the “miraculous” healing of his ear and all of the useful idiot sheep who wore “ear bandages” at the Repuke Convention.
The “fat women” Secret Service agents around the Orange Douche when posed for the “Fight! Fight! Fight!” photo were probably the office staff happy to participate in the psyop in order to get out of another boring day of processing background checks. They were there to get “conservatives” to complain about “DEI” instead of the absurdity of the whole thing.
It’s all MKULTRA these days…
Hi MQ,
Yup. I think more people are beginning to re-think so, too. In retrospect, it seems obvious. At the time, less so – I think because of the sheer audacity of it. It is very difficult for the sane to imagine there are people who are capable of that degree of manipulative mendacity. Trump is not merely an oaf. He is an evil oaf.
A particularly convincing wolf in sheep’s clothing.
You have to hand it to him, in a way, for being clever and manipulative…he sure pulled one over on everyone…
We thought we elected Archie Bunker, instead we got Eric Cartman.
You nailed it Eric, they faked the assassination of Trump, but bystanders got killed to make it look real.
Trump was 100% in on it.
Now think how evil that bastard really is. At the time we could not fathom anyone was that evil, but now with hindsight, we see the truth.
BTW, the whole crime of the staged assassination was figured out on Kevin Barrett’s articles on Unz at the time.
Thanks, Jack –
And yeah, it is damned hard to get your mind around a person being that evil. A Ted Bundy, for instance. Who does such things? Well, people who are so evil they are effectively not human, except in form. Trump falls into this category. I believe he is capable of anything, if he thinks it is in his interests. He is a sociopath and psychopath.
There is a lot about the Butler assassination attempt that doesn’t pass the smell test. Like with the Las Vegas shooting, we know absolutely nothing about the shooter, except he appeared in the background of a Blackrock advertisement.
As I said before, everything now is fake, gay and retarded, like that “Ferrari” EV.
I never believe the narrative because it changes like tires on a stock car at Martinsville.
Amen that, Dr. Mantis!
I remember thinking, in the back of my mind, that it seemed a little cheesy at the time. But I bought it, at the time. As time went on and I began to think about it more, I began to buy it less. I no longer buy it at all. The improbability of it is just that, to begin with. From the timing of the head turn to the absence of any real injury from a supersonic rifle bullet passing that close to the man’s ear, actually (supposedly) nicking it in the process without rupturing his ear drum to the fist=pump photo op. Too many improbabilities. They really did it. Staged a show. Of that magnitude. It is that bad.
We are a talmudic oligarchy, not a “democracy”. Certainly not a republic. There’s not much to celebrate on the 250th anniversary is there? My lineal ancestors who fought for Virginia and North Carolina in the respective militia and Continental Army did not do so for east Euroweenie fake joos to own everything under the sun.
Being someone who was around during the 1976 Bicentennial, it is remarkable how different things are today.No one, literally no one is talking about it. Even though it’s 250 and not 300 years…
I would like to.see real protests around the country on 7/4, even though they dont mean crap. It would make for a good show.
Hi Swamp,
Yup –
I can remember 1976. The mood was up; Jefferson and Washington were respected as founding fathers, not derided as “dead white males.” I remember riding my chopper bike around with my friends; everyone was happy. It was a great time to be alive.
“We are a talmudic oligarchy, not a “democracy”. Certainly not a republic.”
100% this.^^^^^
Unfortunately true. The law is on our side. But all the lawyers are on theirs.
Mideast Is Baffled By Trump’s Call for Wider Recognition of Israel — NYT headline today
How deliberately the Lügenpresse misses the point! Why do Americans not bridle at their president pimping for a little nuclear-armed apartheid colony that never did a damned thing for us, except pick our pockets for 300 billion dollahs and hijack our elections [cf. Thomas Massie]?
WTF is wrong with this picture?
I doubt anyone seriously intended for that to work. There is too much bad blood there. I think it was probably intended to take the pressure off. GCC has been increasingly pushing for some kind of peace, even if their customers have to pay a lot more for oil (tolls for passing through international waters), so the Iranians stop destroying their oil and civilian infrastructure. Trump insisting on Abraham Accords is a non-starter, so the intent was something other than the Abraham Accords.
