I am absolutely being throttled beyond belief. Can I ask for you guys to like or pop in if you see this? Sometimes it helps overcome whatever hold is on my account? It would be much appreciated, thank you.

🚨BREAKING🚨- Hidden for five years. Discovered five months ago. We learned about it five weeks ago, then we were asked not to go public for "two weeks." We gave them five. No more. A text message that confirms what we already knew. @CapitolPolice leadership knew what was going to happen on January 6 ... and they allowed it all to unfold according to plan. veritasregnat.com/2026/05/13/cap…

Wisconsin's absentee vote totals for past elections keep changing. Not current elections. Past ones. Already certified. Legally closed. 🧵

@2ray_degenemax I pretty much only drink Coca-Cola or Mt. Dew Baja Blast when I have soda. Otherwise just water, coffee or the occasional adult beverage.

先日はアメリカ人公認ドリンクを飲んでた アメリカでは圧倒的な人気を誇るだけあって美味しいですし、日本においてもカルト的な人気があるのに納得です。常飲したいレベルですが、これはGoyslopなのであんまり頻繁に飲まない方が良いとの助言も頂いたので程々に楽しみたいと思います。

There are over 50 bills sitting on @LeaderJohnThune desk that were passed by the House and haven’t even been put up for consideration. 34 Federal Judgeships still not filled with 10 already being nominated. Worst majority leader EVER !!! Useless

Excited to announce that my 83-page ASSIMILATION Act has been introduced. Months of labor were undertaken by my staff, @SenTuberville and myself in order to GUT the Hart-Celler Act of 1965, as well as scrap provisions of the Immigration Act of the 1990s. The goal of this bill is simple: end replacement migration and ensure American cultural cohesion. This bill will end the H-1B scam, ensure migrants NEVER become a public charge, and make America look like America again. FYI, net immigration immediately decreases by 85% under this bill. Some other things it does: • National Interest Standard • Stringent Character Tests • Mandatory E-Verify • Ends Chain Migration • Ends Diversity Lottery • GUTS Birthright Citizenship • WAY Tougher Asylum Standards • Stronger Public Charge Rules • 10 Year Citizenship Requirement • English & American Civics PROFICIENCY

Wisconsin assigns the same voter ID number to two different people. The only difference is a leading zero. And every standard software tool — Excel, SPSS, FileMaker — strips that zero automatically. 🧵

Credit : Federalist Papers You cannot make this up. The federal agency Democrats want abolished just dismantled one of the most absurd visa fraud rings on record. Here is what the ring actually did. A Subway sandwich shop owner in central Louisiana named Chandrakant "Lala" Patel ran a pay-to-play operation for nearly a decade. Foreign nationals who wanted to stay in the country illegally would pay Patel thousands of dollars. Patel would then pay sitting police chiefs $5,000 a head to write fake police reports claiming those foreign nationals had been victims of armed robberies that never happened. The fake reports were then used to apply for U visas, a special immigration status meant for real crime victims, which puts the applicant on a path to a green card, then citizenship, then voter registration. ICE's Homeland Security Investigations, working with USCIS, the FBI, and IRS Criminal Investigation, blew the lid off the entire operation. HSI New Orleans Special Agent in Charge Eric DeLaune told reporters at the federal courthouse in Lafayette that nearly 200 law enforcement officers executed 11 search warrants to take this network down. Here is what ICE and its partners found: Two sitting police chiefs and one former police chief, all charged A city marshal, charged The Subway shop owner running the whole operation, charged Hundreds of fake "victims" listed across years of phony reports Fabricated case numbers, made up weapons, scripted "narratives," all built to look real The ringleader himself got a U visa in 2023 by pretending he was an armed robbery victim Money laundered into real estate, vehicles, and personal expenses The kicker? Almost every single "victim" listed in the fake reports had the same last name as the ringleader, Patel. U.S. Attorney Alexander Van Hook put it plainly at the press conference. He said there was "an unusual concentration of armed robberies of people who were not from Louisiana." Then he dropped the punchline, "In fact, the armed robberies never took place." DeLaune said it best, "ICE remains committed to protecting the integrity of the immigration systems and ensuring those who exploit them for personal gain are held accountable." And Louisiana is not the only one. A federal grand jury in Boston just indicted 10 Indian nationals in April 2026 for the same playbook, staging fake armed robberies of convenience stores so the "clerks" could apply for U visas. ICE assisted that case too. Here is the part the Left does not want you thinking about. A U visa leads to a green card after three years. A green card leads to citizenship five years later. Citizenship leads to a voter registration card. About 400,000 U visa petitions are pending right now, and that does not even count the spouses, kids, and parents each applicant can drag along. The agency catching the fraud is the same agency the Democrats want gone. Funny how that works.

@philmoneymanagr @SGTWipper1Each MILS is mostly used laying in guns, i.e. artillery or mortars. The only time I ever used MILS was with an aiming circle laying in the AN/TPQ-36/37 Firefinder Radar systems. Leads to less errors under stress when plotting routes, or doing resection to determine position.

@FireFinder44 @SGTWipper1Each Explain the cutting of the Mils off?

I haven't seen this tactic before. The original caption says he's "looking for the direction of the wind" Using a map protractor?

We need more people like this coming to America. Also you won't find nicer people than those in Utah, equally as nice most definitely, but nicer than Utah isn't possible unless you go to Japan I think.

@DSFisAddlepated E. E. Wilson is near me, and there used to be a WWII training camp there. myodfw.com/e-e-wilson-wil… There's also Baskett Sloug National Wildlife Refuge west of Salem. fws.gov/refuge/baskett…

@FireFinder44 Ohhh, thank you so much. Any recommendations would be most appreciated. We have a few on our list already but always willing to listen to those who live somewhere and know. We love Oregon, their birds are so much more fascinating and varied than what we have here.

@FireFinder44 Thank you for the follow. I have returned the favor. I am happy to make your acquaintance, I am your neighbor to the north. My husband is a wildlife and landscape photographer and we will be making numerous trips to Oregon this summer in pursuit of photo ops for his work. Hoping to find some good preserves and setbacks in which to photograph wildlife. 🇺🇸😊🐝

@SGTWipper1Each The only thing I can think of that he might be doing is measuring the angle of the sun in relation to the ground for some reason. But I think you need to also have a reliable time source to do that. Where's @Matt_Bracken48? I bet he knows or has a working theory.

So I’ve lived in Hillsboro, Oregon for 10 years. Drove around today and tonight and shot this myself. This is what the “Data Center Plains” looks like.👇 My town sits at the end of 6 transpacific sea cables connecting the US to Asia. That’s why 30+ data centers landed here. They’re everywhere. Spread across the entire north and west end of the city. Road after road. Building after building. Miles of it. And they keep building. Pushing further west every year into farmland that’s been here for generations. Buying up land, Giving mass amounts of money to home owners to move, Tearing down homes. Tearing down historic sites. $7.2 billion in exempted property taxes. Some of these finished buildings are literally sitting completely dark… PGE told them no power for 3-5 years. They still built them anyway. A power plant is now going up right next to the data centers because they maxed the local grid. There are families still living next to construction zones. Old farmhouses directly across the street from data center walls. Nobody asked the people who already lived here. These are the families who refused to leave, so they said we are just gonna put them up next to your houses anyway. A pioneer homestead from 1865, 190 years of continuous farming is about to be gone, NTT Global Data Centers got that land tax-free until 2051. Signed in a single day at City Hall. Intel, the employer that actually brought thousands of real jobs here is laying off locals at the same time. This sound runs 24 hours a day. 7 days a week. My electricity bill went from $80 to $150. Water rates are set to increase 105% over 5 years, critics say to fund data center infrastructure, not residents. Data centers aren’t a joke. Just wanted to share my first hand experience with them. #datacenters

1/This is a table of voters named Meyers in Wisconsin. Same last name. Same address. Same registration date. Ten different ID numbers — ranging from 200 million to 1.1 billion. One person. Ten identities. In an official government database.

If you're not following @Schwalm5132 you're missing key insight and intel on how the Left has undermined the Republic the founding fathers envisioned.

251 years ago this week, a 6'2" Vermont moonshiner with no military experience and no authorization from anyone captured the most strategically important fort in North America at dawn, and accidentally won the Revolutionary War before it had really started. It's May 1775. Lexington and Concord happened three weeks ago. The colonies have muskets but almost no cannon. The British, sitting in Boston, have plenty. Everyone knows that without artillery, the rebellion is over by autumn. Everyone also knows where to get artillery: Fort Ticonderoga. A stone star-fort on Lake Champlain, bristling with roughly 80 heavy guns. The British call it "the Gibraltar of America." It's the bottleneck of the entire continent. Whoever holds it controls the invasion route between Canada and New York. ​What the rebels don't know, but Ethan Allen has heard, is that "the Gibraltar of America" is, by 1775, mostly held together by moss. The walls are crumbling. The garrison is 48 men, many of them invalids and pensioners. The commander hasn't even been told a war started. Allen is not a soldier. He's a frontier land speculator who runs an armed militia called the Green Mountain Boys, originally formed not to fight the British, but to beat up New York surveyors trying to seize Vermont farms. New York has literally put a bounty on his head. He decides to go take the fort anyway. Halfway there, a man named Benedict Arnold shows up on horseback with a Massachusetts colonel's commission, waving paperwork, demanding command of the expedition. The Green Mountain Boys threaten to go home if Arnold is in charge. Allen and Arnold agree to "joint command," which mostly means walking next to each other in furious silence. They reach the lake at midnight. Problem: they have 200 men and exactly two leaky boats. By 3 AM only 83 have made it across. Dawn is coming. Allen decides to attack with what he has, meaning roughly 1 American for every half-cannon inside the fort. ​A lone British sentry sees them coming through the wicket gate, levels his musket at Allen's chest, and pulls the trigger. The musket misfires. He runs. The Americans pour in. Total resistance to the capture of British North America's most important inland fortress: one wet flintlock. Allen pounds on the officers' quarters with the flat of his sword. Lt. Jocelyn Feltham stumbles out half-dressed, asking by what authority Allen is there. Allen, by his own later account, roars: "In the name of the Great Jehovah and the Continental Congress!" (Other witnesses remembered the wording as substantially more profane. The Continental Congress, for its part, had no idea any of this was happening.) Captain Delaplace, the actual commander, emerges still buttoning his trousers and surrenders the fort, its 78 cannons, its garrison, and roughly 30,000 musket flints without a shot fired by either side. Casualties: zero. Time elapsed: about ten minutes. But here's the part that actually changed history. Those cannons sat at Ticonderoga for six months until a 25-year-old, 280-pound Boston bookseller named Henry Knox, who had learned artillery from books in his own shop, volunteered to go get them. In the dead of winter, Knox and his men dragged 59 cannons weighing 60 tons across 300 miles of frozen rivers, the Berkshires, and unbroken snow, on 42 ox-drawn sleds. One gun fell through the ice of the Hudson. They fished it out and kept going. It took 56 days. On the night of March 4, 1776, those cannons were hauled silently up Dorchester Heights overlooking Boston Harbor. The British woke up on March 5 to find every ship in the harbor and every redcoat in the city under the muzzles of guns that, six months earlier, had belonged to them. Eleven days later, the British evacuated Boston. They would never hold it again. An unauthorized raid by 83 backwoodsmen, led by a wanted man and a future traitor, against a fort defended by a captain in his pajamas, became the artillery that drove the British army out of the largest city in the American colonies. Easiest W in American history. Possibly the most consequential ten minutes of the 18th century.

Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass is in the middle of a massive money laundering operation - A racial justice nonprofit is getting $875,000 PER UNIT from taxpayers to build 3 skyscrapers - The CEO of this nonprofit has close ties to Karen Bass - Karen Bass put this nonprofit’s CEO on the LA County Affordable Housing Solutions Board - So he’s now approving the money and getting the money Here’s the full breakdown: The Weingart Center is a Skid Row nonprofit that claims to advance “racial, social, and economic justice” by helping the homeless. They manage multiple properties The CEO is Kevin Murray and he makes $400,000 per year In 2024, LA Mayor Karen Bass appointed Kevin Murray to the LA County Affordable Housing Solutions Board. The board that oversees homeless funding So the nonprofit that gets the money is now deciding who gets the money and how much (Huge conflict of interest) Next, Mayor Karen Bass appointed Ben Rosen, Director of Real Estate Development, to the same board at Kevin Murray’s request (So now the homeless nonprofit CEO is telling mayor Karen Bass who else to appoint to be in charge of giving our homeless money, and she’s doing it) 
Weingart raked in $100 million in just one year (It pays to be close with Karen Bass) A big chunk of that money comes from California’s Homekey Initiative: 
California has dumped nearly $4 billion into Homekey Initiative but: - 71% of properties vacant - Multiple fraud cases - One developer charged $2M on his personal Amex for things like Coachella tickets
 But instead of shutting it down, they expanded it with Homekey Plus. Naturally the nonprofit friend of Karen Bass The Weingart Center wants some of that new money Weingart wanted $37 million to turn a 122-room hotel into permanent housing.
They’d pocket $2+ million in developer fees and got a sweet deal with ongoing subsidies
 Here’s where some fraud comes in The property was valued at just $10M - 21M, not the $30M they wanted. They wanted to pocket $10 million dollars of taxpayer money Luckily public backlash killed the deal, but that’s not where it ends The Weingart Center tried to convert a Cheviot Hills nursing home using $26 million in Homekey funds.
 Mayor Bass helped personally recommend it.
 The developer? Stephen Taylor who’s now facing 9 felony charges for altering bank statements and lying to lenders while trying to flip the property for double the price.
Weingart signed the deal with a confidentiality clause. The Weingart Center has repeatedly failed federal audit requirements… yet even after still, they still got a $9 million no-bid contract from Mayor Karen Bass (She’s clearly involved in the fraud) Now The Weingart Center is likely getting $865,000 per apartment unit to build 3 skyscrapers, all paid for by taxpayers Facilitated by Karen Bass The money laundering never ends, LA has been doing this a lot lately, here’s a few more - Restoration apartments: Bought in 2020 via Homekey for $5.3 million to create 80 units of recovery housing for the homeless. 6 years later it’s completely abandoned - Shangri-La Industries got 26 million in Homekey grants, he bought luxury items, cars and trips - In South LA a shelter operator with a $2.3 million city contract claimed 88 beds in court filings. A spot check revealed only 44 actual beds, the rest were empty platforms The fraud in California never stops

Portland City Council just passed another street fee to fund maintenance—because apparently the answer is always a new tax, fee, or levy, never a serious audit of how PBOT spends nearly $600 million a year. The city already collects a 5% utility fee on gas, electric, telecom, and wireless revenues, plus charges for sewer, conduit, poles, and other infrastructure placed in PBOT rights-of-way. Yet over the years, City Council repeatedly diverted those revenues into the general fund instead of using them for streets. That’s the real issue raised by Clark, Zimmerman, and Ryan: utility-related revenues tied directly to street use and damage should go back to PBOT for maintenance, not disappear into the city’s broader budget. Portland absolutely needs to address decades of deferred maintenance. But residents are already taxed heavily while seeing little return. Many households pay more into programs like P4A and SHS than toward basic infrastructure, and the roads remain some of the worst in the country. Now the city wants even more money for an extra $36 million a year—barely a rounding error against a $6 billion maintenance backlog growing by roughly 10% annually. The problem will still get worse, just slightly slower. Portlanders keep paying more while services decline. At some point, taxpayers are justified in asking not just for more revenue, but for competence and accountability. Citizens of Portland are paying more fees and the problem will continue to get worse, but now only 9.4% worse each year. We are doomed. Get out while you can, before they start taxing one-way, departing U-haul rentals. wweek.com/news/city/2026… @MayorKWilson @jamiedunphy @mitch4portland
