[quote author=WriteerNg post=140682335] when I say I prefer America as the lone supper power you call me nuts. China has killed manufacturing in Nigeria. We import trivial products razor blades ,toothpicks ,needles etc because the Chinese products are low quality and way cheaper. |

Lifetime security control at no cost. Greenland still under Danish control . Unlimited overflight throughout Greenland air space. Win Win . Despite the rhetoric about a military invasion and tariffing the EU, everyone walks way a winner. The Greenlanders will suddenly have thousands of high spenders on their soil.

Recently stepped down Chief Judge Patrick Shiltz of Minneapolis federal bench confirms to NYT how they coordinated behind the scenes to thwart ICE attempts to deport illegal aliens. ...."judges remained on their cell phones nonstop to halt deportation proceedings" They had templates of judgements to deliver before the case was heard. “Some judges built templates of legal orders so they could respond quickly to some of the detention issues that were arising again and again" Most of these judgements were later thrown out by appeals courts. https://hotair.com/david-strom/2026/09/17/can-we-start-impeaching-judges-now-n3819097 Their purpose was to impede ICE . They looked for whatever loophole to apply in the cases before them in order to dismiss.. One reason they used. ICE claimed to be deporting the worst of the worst which wasn't always the case The judges abrogated themselves the power to decide who could be deported instead of following the constitutional laws of the land. This can only happen in a banana republic. Deepsight the lawyer. |

For thirty years before he ran for office, Donald Trump quietly paid mortgages, flew sick children across the country, and wrote checks to strangers who needed help. You will not find those stories on the evening news. So here they are. Start with what people who knew him before politics say. He has never had a drink. He has never smoked. He has never used drugs. He built his business on long hours, and the people who worked for him will tell you he outworked all of them. Nobody called him a bigot until the day he announced for president. That timing tells you something about the accusation. Now to the record. In 1986, a Georgia widow named Annabell Hill was about to lose the family farm at a foreclosure auction. Trump saw her story on the news, picked up the phone, called the auction, and stopped the sale. Then he sent her the money to keep the farm. In 1988, an Orthodox Jewish family in Los Angeles had a three-year-old son named Andrew Ten who needed treatment in New York. The boy could not survive without a full life-support setup, and no airline would carry it. His father asked Trump for help. Trump put the family on his own jet and got them there. In 1991, two hundred Marines came home from Desert Storm to Camp Lejeune and found out the military had no aircraft to fly them the rest of the way to Florida. Trump's airline, the Trump Shuttle, made two runs between North Carolina and Miami and got every one of them back to their families. In 1995, a passing driver in New Jersey pulled over to help change a flat on Trump's limo. Trump asked what he could do in return. The man only wanted flowers sent to his wife. A few weeks later, the story goes, the flowers came with a note saying the couple's mortgage had been paid off. People have been repeating that one for three decades. In 1996, Trump sued the town of Palm Beach, Florida. The town had been leaning on his Mar-a-Lago club for one reason. He let in Jewish members and Black members, and the older clubs did not. Abraham Foxman, who ran the Anti-Defamation League at the time, said Trump shined a light on the ugly side of Palm Beach that the glitter usually hid. Foxman also said other clubs started admitting Jews and Blacks after Trump forced the issue. In 2000, Trump was watching Maury Povich and saw a little girl named Megan who lived with brittle bone disease. He said her attitude got to him. He called the show and sent her family a large check. In 2008, Jennifer Hudson's mother, brother, and nephew were murdered in Chicago. Trump moved Hudson and her family into his Chicago hotel at no charge and had his security team watch over them while they grieved. In 2013, a Buffalo bus driver named Darnell Barton saw a woman standing at the edge of a bridge. He stopped the bus, walked over, put an arm around her, and talked her back to safety. Trump read about it and mailed Barton a check, because he thought a man like that deserved a reward. In 2014, Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi spent seven months in a Mexican prison after he took a wrong turn at the border with legally owned guns in his truck. President Obama never placed the call to Mexico that the sergeant's family begged for. Trump sent Tahmooressi a check for $25,000 to help him rebuild his life once he got home. In 2016, Melissa Young stood at a Trump rally in Wisconsin and cried while she thanked him. She had competed as Miss Wisconsin USA in 2005, then got sick with an illness that has no cure. During her worst stretch, a handwritten note arrived from Trump calling her the bravest woman he knew. She said the doors Trump opened for her ended up giving her Mexican-American son a full ride to college. That same year, Lynne Patton, a Black executive at the Trump Organization, put out a video answering the people calling her boss a racist. She admitted she had fought addiction for years. She said the Trump family never pushed her out. They stood by her the whole way. Also in 2016, a young Illinois volunteer named Shane Bouvet told reporters that Trump had stepped in to cover his father's cancer treatment. His father, Donald Bouvet, beat the cancer. Trump has stayed in touch with the family ever since. And there is a story that has floated around New York business circles for years. A Black business owner could not get a loan anywhere in the city. Someone told him to go see Trump. Trump lent him the money and told him to pay it back when he could. The man came back later with a check and said the business was doing well. Trump tore the check up. Read that list again and notice who is on it. A farm widow. A Jewish family. Marines. A bus driver. A jailed serviceman. A sick beauty queen and her Mexican-American son. A grieving Black singer. A struggling Black executive. When Trump saw someone in trouble, he helped, and he did not check their race or their religion first. Nearly forty years ago, Oprah asked him on air if he would ever run for president. He told her he would not rule it out if things in this country ever got bad enough. He looked at America in 2015 and decided that day had come. The man who spent decades helping people one at a time decided to help the whole country. Ask yourself when you last heard of Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama doing any of this with their own money. Then ask yourself why the media, Hollywood, and the progressive left have spent ten years trying to destroy a man with this record. He loves this country. The record shows it. Share this so your friends see what the news will not show them. 1 Like |

Liberals who don't get their way want to shut down those who hold a contrary opinion. It's time to FAFO for some . [i]#BREAKING The lone holdout juror who deadlocked Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial now has an attorney, signaling that the people who doxxed him, or defamed him, may now be facing lawsuits. Attorney Edward Andrew Paltzik: "I can now confirm that I am representing the courageous and heroic lone holdout juror from the Lindsay Clancy Trial. He is an American Hero and Champion of Justice." "Rest assured that the evil people who have so viciously attacked this American Hero and Champion of Justice will be held accountable to the maximum extent of the law and beyond. " "In the meantime, though, he has persevered and remains utterly unbroken thanks to his devout Catholic Faith. As a devoted father and man of God, he will not be defeated or shattered by the wicked who wish harm upon him." People who could be facing legal action: 🔻Clancy defense attorney Kevin Reddington who gender doxxed him and accused him of being a bigot 🔻Juror Paula Devlin who got on national television and revealed he was a Black man in his mid 30s 🔻Local NBC's Sue O'Connell who published personal details about him including his court cases, eviction judgement etc, making him identifiable 🔻Aidan Kearney (turtleboy) who published his name, picture and personal information online and 🔻Other Jurors who made accusations against him like, he refused to follow the law and he was arrogant. Attorney Edward Andrew Paltzik just made the announcement. Paltzik described his client as a courageous champion of justice, said the man is in a safe location in rural northern New England, and said his immediate focus is the juror’s health, safety, and well-being. Paltzik already represents three friends of Nolan Wells - Warren Hudson, Jax Pitalo, and Morgan Seymour - in defamation actions over false claims that they had something to do with Wells' d*th. Fast Facts: 🔻Foreperson Roni Carlson accused him of not following the law and wanted to get him kicked off the jury. She also claimed he admitted he had reasonable doubt - something he reportedly said is not true. 🔻Paula Devlin called him “very arrogant” and said he “completely disregarded” explanations from nurses on the jury about toxicology results. She also identified him as a Black man in his 30s and the only person of color on a panel of nine women and three men. 🔻Nick Dargie said he found it “disgusting” when the holdout used an exercise band and a water bottle to demonstrate the strangulations. 🔻Defense lawyer Kevin Reddington called the holdout a man who “stole seven weeks of the life of these other jurors” and said “they were robbed by one man.” 🔻Reddington accused him of discriminating against Clancy because she was in a wheelchair and also revealed his gender in court 🔻 Local NBC10 Boston’s Ryan Kath reported personal details and court records of the juror - then people then matched docket details to find his identity. 🔻On Sept. 12 Kearney, Turtleboy, posted his name and photograph. Kearney is separately facing witness-intimidation / jury intimidation and related charges tied to the Karen Read case. |

No more war on coal https://cowboystatedaily.com/2026/09/14/blockbuster-epa-move-gets-rid-of-biden-era-limits-on-power-plant-emissions/ In 2024 EPA enacted regulations to coal power plants demanding reduction of Carbon emissions. Bottom line. install expensive carbon capture systems or better still just shut down. EPA decisions then were made by liberals inculcated in the climate change religion. China has been commissioning an average of 50 new coal plants every year making it's energy cheaper. Add low wages plus a vast population of educated workforce and it becomes clear that liberals want the west reduced to services dependent economies. Europe esp Germany also went to war and shut down clean nuclear power plants . The EU has a crazy electricity charging system where electricity prices are auctioned to the lowest bidder. Electric energy is treated as a trade commodity. |

When I say always strive to do the right thing,this is what I mean. A non-citizen from Nigeria has been arrested and charged by the DOJ for illegally voting in multiple US elections including in the 2024 Presidential election and the 2022 midterms. The DOJ says that 56-year-old Gladys Adaeze Okafor lied while registering to vote, claiming to be a U.S. citizen multiple times. Okafor is a green-card holder, but she has not applied for citizenship and is not allowed to vote.” Prosecutors say she first registered to vote in July 2022 and checked the citizen box claiming she was a U.S. citizen, and she signed under penalty of perjury However, she did not have to prove anything. She then voted in the November 2022 midterm elections. #elections In 2023 she submitted a second registration form and again swore she was a citizen. She later voted in the 2024 presidential primary election and the election in November. According to the DOJ she admitted last week to HSI agents that she voted in 2024. At 56 years one should be making final touches for retirement . She knew it was illegal and a federal crime . Whether she hated or loved democrats or Republicans that much, she didn't have to break the law. Her vote was of no financial benefit to her at all. These are kinds of decisions one doesn't need to go to school to learn. Whom will she nlame if she is deported.

Catherine Herridge published leaked chars in 2025;,The records show that the FBI’s Office of General Counsel (OGC) placed a gag order on an FBI employee who was trying to address the laptop's authentic. A few days ago , a 2020 Leaked email from John Brennan when signing on to the letter by 51 Intelligence Community Staffers clearly indicate the purpose of blaming Hunter's depravities and corruption as Russia disinformation was to help the Biden campaign. Separately John Brennan has been subpoenaed to appear on October 15 before the Florida grand jury investigating the Conspiracy against Trump among other crimes.
