Here's a new article about the fundraiser that I've been involved with. It's a great story of empathy and hope in a small Midwest town divided in the wake of Covid.

Pam Bondi's DOJ gave the family of J6 traitor Ashli Babbitt $5 million in taxpayer dollars.
The DOJ just "settled" with disgraced conspiracy theorist, convicted felon and pardoned traitor Michael Flynn for $1.25 million of taxpayer dollars.
Now dozens of J6 convicted and pardoned thugs are lining up for their "legal" pay day, off our backs.
This is blatant corruption in plain sight. Criminals profiting off their crimes against America.
And where is Congress?
SILENT.
Just a reminder the new "acting" Attorney General of the United States is the president's personal lawyer and orchestrated the transfer of convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell to a cushy prison camp.
🚨 July 1987 — Moscow, USSR.
A 41-year-old Donald Trump flies to Moscow at the personal invitation of Soviet Ambassador to the U.S., Yuri Dubinin.
What happened next has fueled questions for nearly four decades.
After returning from Moscow, Trump — then facing serious financial trouble — suddenly received loans from 16 different banks, reportedly without the normal negotiations that struggling developers typically face.
Coincidence? Maybe. But the timing sparked theories that have never fully gone away.
Three former KGB officers — Alnur Mussayev (former head of Kazakhstan’s intelligence service), Yuri Shvets, and Sergei Zhyrno — have each claimed, at different times and from different countries, that Soviet intelligence targeted Trump for recruitment.
According to them, the KGB strategy was simple:
flattery, access, and lucrative business opportunities designed to appeal to Trump’s ambitions and ego.
Soon after returning to the United States, the previously apolitical Trump made a sudden political entrance. On September 2, 1987, he took out full-page ads in major newspapers, including The Washington Post, attacking NATO and questioning America’s commitment to its allies — messaging strikingly aligned with long-standing Soviet geopolitical goals.
None of the former agents has produced direct documentary proof. But supporters of the theory argue that three independent insiders telling the same story decades apart is difficult to ignore.
True or not, critics point to Trump’s later actions — siding with Russia and North Korea at the UN, threatening NATO alliances, and launching trade wars against Western partners — as behavior that keeps the debate alive.
The question remains:
Was it coincidence… or cultivation?
In simplest terms, Trump commentary was much more hawkish than where consensus moved in the past 2 days. If bombing going another 2-3 weeks, any sort of normalcy is months away…and the oil market tightens every single day. 2027/2028 oil is too cheap. As are energy stocks #EFT.
@ClintStoerner You might notice...the people who drive 5 under the speed limit in the left lane/HOV lane are the same people who veer aimlessly but slowly when moving down the concourse.
Airport questions…
1. Why would anyone make the decision to take Pappadeaux out of an airport?
2. Are there enough grown folks with $$ collecting Pokémon cards to justify a large vending machine in the airport?
3. Why would a female wear a sports bra with nothing over it in the airport?
4. Why do people put bags or food in seats next to them in crowded waiting areas?
5. Why would a person exhale aggressively into heavy foot traffic?
6. Why have self pay stations with zero room for people to line up or access?
7. Why do people stop to rest in the middle of high traffic areas?
Just curious!!
PERSONAL ANNOUNCEMENT: I'm officially hair-maxxing.
My story: I started balding about 10 years ago. I finally tired of not having hair, so I'm doing something about it.
Today, I'm boarding a flight from Houston to Istanbul to meet the famous Dr. Isray Yılmaz for hair implants.
If you have any advice for me, please put it in the replies.
I'm going to live-tweet the experience here. Stay tuned. Istanbul here I come!
Dear Mr. Armin Papperger, CEO of Rheinmetall,
When you referred to Ukrainian drone manufacturers as “Ukrainian housewives with 3D printers” you revealed just how deeply the European defense establishment still fails to understand the nature of modern warfare.
This is not about emotion. It is about battlefield reality. Here are the facts your industry refuses to acknowledge:
In 2025 alone, Ukrainian drones carried out 819,737 confirmed strikes. They caused 90 percent of all Russian combat losses, more than all other weapons systems combined.
TAF alone produces up to 100к FPV drones monthly. In any given 90-day period, my company’s products alone achieve more confirmed strikes than your entire fleet of equipment has across its full combat history in every conflict. And most importantly, I built this company and achieved these results in two years, not fifty. Think about that.
Our drones generate more kinetic effect in three months than your flagship platforms have in half a century.
Why? Because the battlefield has changed, and your business model has not.
•Russian electronic warfare has made GPS-guided Western munitions such as Excalibur and GMLRS nearly ineffective.
•Expensive and complex systems designed for wars with air superiority and traditional peer-to-peer combat have become easy prey for drones costing $500, attacking them from above.
•The cost-to-effect ratio has been turned upside down: one 120 mm Rheinmetall shell or one anti-tank missile costs more than a dozen of our drones, and yet our drones still win.
This is not a “Lego game.” It is industrial Darwinism in real time. We iterate every week. We print parts in basements and ship 100к strike systems per month, while your engineers still require three to five years and hundreds of millions of euros in certification costs for even a minor upgrade.
The war in Ukraine is not a temporary anomaly. It is the first true drone-industrial war. And it has already proven that outdated European platforms, no matter how expensive or “serious” they may seem, are becoming less and less relevant unless they integrate the very technologies you mock.
So when you say, “this is not innovation,” I hear something else: “We do not want to admit that the future is being written in Ukrainian workshops, not in Düsseldorf boardrooms.”
#MadeByHousewives is trending for a reason. Because these “housewives” destroy more enemy equipment every month than entire European armies do in full campaigns. And they do it while your industry continues to sell 20th-century solutions at 21st prices.
The invitation remains open, Mr. Papperger. Stop laughing at the kitchen table. Come and learn how tomorrow’s war is actually being fought. Because the next time someone asks, “Who needs tanks in the age of drones?”, the answer may be simpler than you think: Whoever still believes in 1979 will lose to whoever is building in 2026.
With respect, but with facts,
Oleksandr Yakovenko “Ukrainian housewives”
