The state of California is charging residents $30,000 to run gas lines to their homes But it gets worse, for fire rebuilds in places like Pacific Palisades SoCalGas is quoting $53,000 for gas reconnection This is because the California Public Utilities Commission is pushing toward building electrification and strict utility regulations, they don’t want you to use gas For extensions property owners often pay to run new pipe under their streets and driveways. After permits costs frequently exceed $20k–$50k+ Here’s where it gets borderline criminal Since 2023, California eliminated subsidies, like line extension allowances that used to offset costs for gas hookups, putting the full cost to the applicant to discourage gas expansion and encourage all-electric builds

Woman who been raises horses for 30 years in Ohio says “I've never had to deal with these many ticks” “I can't take the tick situation anymore. The tick situation in this state, there are ticks everywhere” Almost everyone says this is due to Bill Gates. The reason why is because The Gates Foundation is funding Tick Research The Gates Foundation funded a biotech firm called Oxitec for research on genetically modifying cattle ticks Farmers claim to be funding “boxes of ticks”on their properties People think because Bill Gates is funding tick research there is a high likelihood we would see a huge increase in ticks. This would mean Gates could sell more of his products to deal with the problem There is a well documented tick surge hitting Ohio hard right now, spring 2026, especially for livestock owners Ohio has new tick species. Ohio went from basically 1 medically important tick species 20 years ago to having 5 now. Some of these populations grow very fast Lyme disease surge: Cases skyrocketed from ~40 in 2010 → 415 in 2020 → over 2,800 in 2025, with 2026 already trending high Keep in mind a Lyme disease vaccine is actively in the works So without the ticks, they can’t sell their vaccines You’ll never guess who’s making it, Pfizer and Valneva

Edith Tolkien is often remembered simply as “J.R.R. Tolkien’s wife.” But without Edith, Middle-earth might never have existed in the way the world knows it today. Before the fame, before *The Lord of the Rings*, Edith Mary Bratt was an orphaned girl studying piano and trying to build a life for herself in Edwardian England. She met Tolkien when they were both young, lonely, and struggling. Their love story almost ended before it truly began. He was forbidden from seeing her for years because his guardian feared she would distract him from his studies. She even became engaged to another man while waiting for him. But Tolkien never forgot her. Years later, he watched Edith dancing in a woodland clearing filled with white flowers, and the moment became immortal. That image inspired one of the most important stories in all of Middle-earth: Beren and Lúthien — the mortal man and immortal elf whose love defied death itself. For Tolkien, Lúthien was not fantasy. She was Edith. Their marriage survived war, poverty, academic pressure, and decades of ordinary struggles hidden behind literary greatness. While Tolkien built entire worlds on paper, Edith was the emotional center of the life he returned to. The romance at the heart of Middle-earth was rooted in a real woman whose influence shaped one of the most beloved mythologies ever written. When Edith died in 1971, Tolkien had the name “Lúthien” engraved on her tombstone. After his own death, “Beren” was added beneath his name beside hers. Even in death, he wanted their love story told together. © Women Stories #archaeohistories

This week, I discovered a massive unmarked storage room with boxes full of forgotten equipment. Just because we’re in D.C. doesn’t mean the government can waste your money. I’m going to make sure some of it is returned to the taxpayers.

YUP ! —— 🔥 It took 50 years, but the truth is finally out. The Warren Commission lied. The government covered it up. JFK’s assassination was not the act of a lone gunman — it was a full-blown military intelligence coup. SCREW YOU, LBJ. I always smelled a Rat, and you were the Big one. JFK had signed The Tonkin Act, effecting pulling all troops out of Southeast Asia-(Vietnam). Lady Byrd Johnson owned control and interest in Kellog/ Brown & Root, later merge KBR, INC, Halliburton, Inc. who made most of the munitions the United States Military used to fight the Vietnam War. Just one small piece of the puzzle. Part - The Military Industrial Complex. The day after JFK was assassinated, President Lyndon Baines Johnson rescinded the Tonkin Act, giving President Lyndon Baines Johnson authority to increase involvement in the war between North and South Vietnam. Declassified documents released January 30, 2025, expose what many of us have long suspected: JFK was murdered by the very system he tried to dismantle. He challenged the Federal Reserve, the CIA, and the shadow elite. He signed Executive Order 11110 to return to sound money. Within months, he was dead. And what followed was decades of lies, cover-ups, and silencing of truth. The files reveal CIA death squads (Operation Execute), a “JFK hit memo” from the Federal Reserve, and names like E. Howard Hunt, David Atlee Phillips, and even George H.W. Bush linked to that dark day in Dallas. Even more chilling — JFK knew they were coming for him. A newly surfaced audio tape confirms it. “They’ll come for me soon… But if I fall, let history know I tried to warn them.” Remind you of anyone??? The parallels to President Donald J. Trump are right in front of us. Two men, decades apart, both targeted by the same Deep State machine. Both tried to return power to the people. Both exposed the lies of the industrial and financial slavery system. And both paid — or are paying — the price for defying the system. JFK’s death was the day America lost its innocence. But January 30, 2025, was the day the veil was finally lifted. History isn’t just repeating — it’s screaming at us. The question is: are we listening now??? 🧐 — Gary Anderson/Tim McCoy MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

BREAKING: China just abandoned Iran's oil. And started buying from Alaska. The country that armed Iran. That defied U.S. sanctions on Iranian oil. Is now buying American oil instead. Why? Alaska is closer. Hormuz is closed. Iran is unreliable. Trump didn't just close the Strait. He redirected Chinese oil demand to American soil. Iran loses its biggest customer. America gains it. The financial blockade didn't just hurt Iran. It forced China to buy American. This is not luck. This is chess. And Trump just took the queen.

This morning, a 65 year-old man woke up in the early hours and heard thieves in his garage. He called the police. Unfortunately, the officer on the phone told him they don't have any police officers free at the moment. The guy hung up and then called again in a moment and tells the officer: - it's about these thieves in my garage. Don't bother coming anymore i’ve shot them. After literally 2 minutes, 4 police cars, Armed response, counter terrorists, ambulances turned up,..... Thieves were obviously caught. Police officers had a chat with the gentleman Officer says - " You said you shot them! " Gentlemen - " And you said you don't have a free police car " Credit: Rudes On a roll

Finally, a trend I can get behind. #RespectForTolkien

🚨 JUST IN: The White House drops an EPIC video of President Trump’s visit to China’s Temple of Heaven The first President in over 50 YEARS to tour the landmark Gerald Ford toured the temple in 1975, and no President has been back. Until 47 🇺🇸

Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt released another banger! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 📽️👇

NYP Reporter: Prior to boarding Air Force One to depart Beijing, the entire U.S. delegation disposed of every item provided to them by their Chinese hosts. Gifts, badges, pins, and commemorative items were all dumped into a trash bin on site. The directive was absolute, no item of Chinese origin was permitted to board the aircraft. The precautions extended beyond the departure itself. Delegation members had left all personal electronic devices at home before traveling to China and operated exclusively on clean burner phones throughout the duration of the trip.

🚨Something big just happened… To every enemy attempting to shut me down, you are officially on notice. The game has changed.

🚨 BREAKING: The FBI is offering a $200,000 reward for information leading to the apprehension and prosecution of Monica Witt, a former U.S. service member and counterintelligence agent accused of spying for Iran. She intentionally provided information endangering U.S. personnel and their families stationed abroad, and conducted research on behalf of the Iranian regime to allow them to target her former colleagues in the U.S. government.

This ex-flight attendant just dropped the top hacks she uses to save big on flights. She says book on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Saturday, and always late at night or super early in the morning. Use incognito mode or a VPN so the airlines can’t track your location and jack up the price. And the game-changer? Forward your confirmation to JetBacks — they’ll automatically track your flight and refund you the difference if the price drops before takeoff. I also heard that booking on a computer instead of your phone can sometimes save you money too (the algorithms treat desktop traffic a little differently). Just a few smart moves can turn “expensive travel” into “we actually got this done affordably” — and that feels so amazing. Have you tried any of these hacks, or do you have your own secret for scoring cheaper flights?

Spencer Pratt just went to a park in Los Angeles to show what Karen Bass has done to kid’s Parks… TMZ and other Fake News outlets won’t show the actual truth of what has happened to Los Angeles TIME TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE SEES THIS

🚨WHAT THE HELL?!!!! Divers doing a ROUTINE maintenance check at the Converse Reservoir dam in Mobile, AL... ...just found an underwater IED!!!! Apparently a grenade-type bomb was sitting submerged at the bottom of a dam that holds an entire city's DRINKING WATER. It took FIVE agencies: the FBI, ALEA, the Sheriff, Mobile PD, and a maritime render-safe team, to pull it out and detonate it. Someone put a BOMB in our water supply... WHERE IS THE NATIONAL COVERAGE?!!!

🚨 STUDENT CLAIMS SHE “SOLVED SCHIZOPHRENIA” DURING A RESEARCH PAPER — AND PEOPLE THINK SHE MAY HAVE JUST ACCIDENTALLY EXPOSED A MASSIVE COVER-UP A woman is going viral after posting a breakdown claiming modern psychiatry may be focusing on the WRONG part of the brain when it comes to schizophrenia. And the deeper she goes into her theory… the more intense the video gets. According to her: “It’s the f*cking thalamus… and the thalamus is being neglected.” She claims schizophrenia may not primarily be a dopamine disorder at all… but instead a failure in the brain’s sensory filtering system. Her theory centers around the thalamus, the part of the brain responsible for processing and relaying incoming information. And according to her, when that system becomes “leaky,” the brain starts trying to fill in missing information itself… creating hallucinations, paranoia, sensory overload, and distorted reality. “Your brain will always try to make sense of something… so if it’s missing information, it’s just gonna make up its own.” The video goes even further into claims that: • schizophrenia may be tied to glucose dysregulation in the brain • hallucinations are caused by a “leaky” thalamus failing to filter information properly • antipsychotic drugs only mask symptoms instead of fixing the root problem • low-carb diets could increase risks for dementia and Alzheimer’s • ADHD may also be connected to the same “leaky filter” mechanism • the brain creates hallucinations when it tries to fill in missing sensory information • current psychiatric research may be focusing on the wrong brain regions entirely But the moment hitting the hardest? When she said: “Maybe Big Pharma doesn’t want to fund it… because sick people make more money than healthy people.” Did this student accidentally expose a crack in the entire psychiatric industry… and is that why nobody wants to talk about the thalamus? 📹: TikTok/lilithmaraofficial

🇺🇳 LA NOUVELLE ARNAQUE DE L'OMS...

Huge win!

🚨 this has happened before.. in 2016.. Obama landed in Hangzhou for the G20.. China didn't send stairs.. he climbed out of the belly hatch at the back of Air Force One.. the "ass" of the plane.. in front of the world.. Chinese officials said the US declined their offered stairs.. the US said that wasn't true.. nobody ever agreed on what happened.. but the photos exist.. that was 10 years ago.. today Trump landed in Beijing.. red carpet.. honor guard.. 300 students waving American and Chinese flags.. chanting a welcome.. the full ceremony.. and here's the part nobody's connecting.. China didn't change the airport.. China didn't change the stairs.. China changed its read of who was coming off the plane.. the last time a US president got this kind of arrival in Beijing was 1972.. Nixon.. the handshake that opened the world.. China pulled out every symbol it had because it needed something from that meeting.. and now they're doing it again.. the red carpet isn't respect.. it's a price signal.. China is telling Trump what it's willing to pay before the first meeting even starts.. the stairs were never about stairs. I'll share more updates shortly. Turn on notifications, this is very important.
