Canada has a solution to all your problems and its free! :popcorn:

There is so much irony when Democrats talk of moving to Canada, since immigration from Canada to the U.S. has increased ltely.

Ian Brinksman Arrested: Caught in a Honeypot?

https://pjmedia.com/charlie-martin/2026/10/25/ian-brinksman-arrested-caught-in-a-honey-pot-n4958670

Quote
Ian A. Brinksman, a government contractor, was arrested by the FBI on October 23 after a search of his residence and charged criminally under the Espionage Act, specifically 18 USC 793(d). ...
...
Allegedly, Brinksman was passing TOP SECRET/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) to someone identified only as "Individual 1" for publication. "Individual 1" is reportedly Brinksman's girlfriend, whom several news reports have identified as Aida Chavez, a journalist who has a Substack and reports on national security stuff. She has previously been associated with The Nation, The Intercept, More Perfect Union, and The Hill.
...
So, it hasn't come to trial yet, and he's presumed innocent (see yadda yadda above), but it looks to me a lot like he either got caught up in a honeypot or, worse, was actually working to reveal things he felt would hurt the Trump administration and, by extension, the United States.

I know the vast number of you know this:

He is not only getting worse by the day, but the rate of downhill change is increasing rapidly. His misuse of the word “testify” rather than “campaign” multiple times is indicative of a rapid deterioration. There will be no improvement, this is not a “slip”, he is markedly more impaired than he was a week ago.

Each 24 hour cycle following a disrupted sleep will demonstrate this. The question will be when will they “Woodrow Wilson” him and issue EO’s and “statements” from the Oval Office sans video. It is conceivable that the tumult of the upcoming elections will significantly upset the apple cart and a crisis may occur which they will somehow blame the Democrats.

Hang onto your hat. It’s the light at the end of the tunnel…and it’s the train coming right at us. How we manage the next few months is likely critical: there will likely be some unlikely heroes and there will undoubtedly be significant casualties.

As they used to say: God speed

A Wells Fargo review of a prospective firearms client was blunt: under the Biden administration, banks could face “greater supervisory pressure to move away from lending to the firearms industry.

well lookie there! After a "lifetime of service" to his country, the first blemish on Biden's record.
Joe needn't worry. This won't effect his legacy any more than discovering hitler cheated on a 3rd grade spelling test.

Federal judge upholds Trump admin executive order banning federal contractors’ DEI initiatives

https://www.campusreform.org/article/federal-judge-upholds-trump-admin-executive-order-banning-federal-contractorsdei-initiatives/30853

Quote
A federal judge appointed by former President Joe Biden declined to temporarily block President Donald Trump’s executive order restricting race-based discrimination by federal contractors.

Campus Reform previously reported on Executive Order 14398, which prohibits contractors working with executive agencies from engaging in “disparate treatment based on race or ethnicity in the recruitment, employment (e.g., hiring, promotions), contracting (e.g., vendor agreements), program participation, or allocation or deployment of an entity’s resources.”

A month after signing the EO, also referred to as the “Contractors Order,” several higher education groups filed a lawsuit challenging the executive order. They claim the Trump administration “views discussion of race and ethnicity as unlawful” and the executive order “sanctions legal, and laudable, expression on race or ethnicity, and in doing so, violates the free speech, free association, and due process rights of plaintiffs and their members.”
...
But on Oct. 14th, United States District Judge Adam Abelson denied the plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction.

In his decision, Judge Abelson found that the plaintiffs had not shown that they would be likely to win the lawsuit, or that they are “suffering irreparable harm,” two elements which are necessary for a preliminary injunction.

This does not decide the case, but a LIEden-appointed judge stating that the obstructionists had not shown evidence that they would be likely to win, or that they are “suffering irreparable harm,” bodes ill for the obstructionists' effort.

From the 19th of October to the 22nd I was in the hospital with sepsis.
...
... The infection was running wild in my body. When I was in the er
They were concerned and wanted to admit me. ...

It's knowledge I would have gladly foregone, but "just" 3 days in the hospital for sepsis means UGP's condition was not, at that point, as serious as she believes (or posts that she believes). If her condition had been serious her stay would have been 3X-4X as long.

Deluded or lyingly wolf-crying, you choose.

Congress passed this bill over a year ago. It has been in effect for 6-12 months, if not longer. Things that changed were changed that long ago.
