My boomer, liberal, atheist, MIL lives with us now. I actually love her very much. She’s been having anxiety about death lately and I so badly want to share the gospel with her, but she’s so anti-Christian that it just makes her mad. What’s my move here?

Do you realize that elected members of Congress recieve NO FBI background checks when elected. It is assumed they are "trustworthy " because they were elected. They automatically get access to classified info. Staffers, Cabinet members and administration must get background checks 1st. Shoukd this change? Why?

The feedback on the @TruthGundlach episode has been incredible, so I'm posting the pod here on X too. 🙏 In his debut on The Julia La Roche Show, Jeffrey Gundlach, founder and CEO of DoubleLine Capital, breaks down why private credit is an unmitigated disaster, why the next recession will send rates up and the dollar down, and why most American investors are completely unprepared for what's coming. Timestamps: 0:00 Introduction & welcome Jeffrey Gundlach 1:33 Big picture macro: secular shift from falling to rising interest rates 16:00 The case for 100% non-US stocks 17:30 Gundlach's current asset allocation 22:00 Private credit and why it's a “total unmitigated disaster" 38:00 The Fed follows the 2-year Treasury - next move a rate hike? 42:30 Recession odds 47:00 Capital preservation mode: lowest risk positioning in DoubleLine's 17-year history 50:00 The gold call 53:00 The most dangerous force in investing 56:00 California headed for bankruptcy? 1:01:00 Non-consensus prediction: three parties on the ballot in the next presidential election 1:02:00 The Fourth Turning

Even if they manage to replace Thune, the next majority leader needs votes. I'm not sure there are enough real Republicans (i.e., non-RINOs) to vote in a decent conservative. I'm afraid they'll just elect Thune 2.0.

Rep. Mike Levin@RepMikeLevin·
A man with no official title, no confirmed role, and no public accountability allegedly walked into DHS and started running a pay-to-play scheme with BILLION-dollar contracts.    His name is Corey Lewandowski. Multiple companies say they were pressured to pay him or risk losing government contracts. And guess what? Trump knew and did nothing to stop it.     Welcome to Episode 10 of the Corruption Chronicles.

“This is an astonishing and troubling revelation. The FBI and Justice Department must go all out to release the nearly 2 million secret FBI and DOJ files on the lawfare against Trump and whatever else the Obama and Biden gangs don’t want Americans to know about. I have no doubt these records are far more important than the Epstein files," @TomFitton. t.co/xzRUYMUDKz

Why both parties are blocking the Save America Act… Congress has a 94% incumbent reelection rate while also having a 33% approval rating. Over the last 50 years… Uniparty fraud is bipartisan.

This video says it all. It also explains why John Thune’s scuttling of the SAVE America Act is the most treacherous gambit since RussiaGate. We citizens will lose our nation in the midterms, and we will never get her back.

🚨 HOLY CRAP!! A Palm Beach elections office volunteer just got arrested for STEALING an encrypted access key and computer equipment in the March 24 special election where the Democrat won by 800 votes This is the district the includes Mar-a-Lago. Investigators worry that the encryption — used for training — could be reverse engineered and used to tamper with voter registration The theft was reported on March 27, a few days after last Tuesday's special election, per WPTV. The theft occurred on March 19, just days before election day "During the search of [John] Panicci's home, detectives recovered the stolen items along with a substantial amount of electronic and digital storage devices. Panicci was transported to the Palm Beach County Jail and booked on charges." Election integrity is vital to our republic. If it's happening in Florida — IT'S HAPPENING NATIONWIDE

🚪 Four independent derivations. Two decades. Different formalisms. Zero cross-citations. Same scalar field. Van Vlaenderen (2003): Started from the Helmholtz decomposition. Derived the scalar field (his notation: S = -ε₀μ₀ ∂φ/∂t - ∇·A, equivalent to the paper's C) from first principles. Showed it modifies Gauss's law and Ampere's law. Predicted three independent wave types with potentially distinct phase velocities. Hively and Giakos (2012): Started from the four-vector wave equation. Arrived at the same scalar field (denoted ξ). Identified five new wave solutions with B = E = 0 — pure scalar modes carrying energy but no momentum. EED's core prediction distills to one new propagating mode: the scalar-longitudinal mode driven by the dynamical field C. Van Vlaenderen again (2016): Extended his earlier work into General Classical Electrodynamics. Three wave types: transverse electromagnetic, longitudinal electromagnetic, and scalar. Each potentially propagating at different speeds determined by new vacuum constants. Reed and Hively (2020): Started from the Stueckelberg Lagrangian. The same mechanism used in gauge-invariant massive electrodynamics. Synthesized everything into Extended Electrodynamics (EED). Different starting points. Different mathematical tools. Same destination. The scalar field C = ∇·A + (1/c²)∂φ/∂t. The Lorenz condition promoted from a constraint to a dynamical variable. This convergence is the strongest argument in my paper. One derivation could be wrong. Two is a coincidence. Four independent derivations arriving at the same physics through different formalisms over 20 years is a pattern that demands attention. I spent 12 years finding these threads one by one. This paper is the map I wish someone had handed me on day one. And Woodside proved the uniqueness theorems. The four-potential decomposes into exactly two physically distinct classes: four-solenoidal (standard Maxwell under Lorenz gauge) and four-irrotational (the scalar-longitudinal sector). EED is the provably unique gauge-free extension. The convergence table and the Stueckelberg parameter space diagram are in Section 4.3 of my paper "The Deleted Degrees of Freedom." Free. Pinned on my profile.

Hopefully it's less expensive to fund a legit candidate in a state office primary than a federal office primary. The rigging that goes on to keep challengers divided against National party-funded incumbents is more difficult to counter than for state candidates. So winning enough state legislative positions to carry a Convention of the States into a reality seems possible and practical to me...

The time is fast approaching when we have to accept the fact that our Congress is no longer functional. So what does the constitution say that needs to happen when we arrive at this point?

@KarlWuckert With her, no change was promised; none would have been delivered. With Mr.T., the control of the Big Donor Uniparty has become more obvious to folks since substantial change was promised.

The Physics of Reality. A look inside the glistening guts of a proton. Wow. In the 1980s, scientists discovered that a proton's three valance quarks (red, green, blue) account for only a fraction of the proton's overall spin. More recent measurements have revealed that gluons (yellow corkscrews) contribute as much as or possibly more than the quarks. Image from U.S. Department of Energy / Brookhaven National Laboratory.

@GinaSaysSo A Convention of the States is required. Congress will NEVER propose amendments to the Constitution that limit its centralized power or hold it accountable on its' own.

The United States of America is not a Democracy, but a Constitutional Republic. And, guess what? Our elected representation has gone rogue. To save the Republic, we must restore power to the people and create a system that works. This current shitshow is not that system.
