What. The Literal. It’s ALREADY shut down. I’d have to defy this order waiting for appeal because that’s the only practical solution.
“AG Bondi Declares “Swarm Of Violent Attacks” On Tesla As Domestic Terrorism
Sort of has to be. And they DO know Teslas are made of nothing but surveillance cameras, right?
They pointed out that the ENTIRE working class being destroyed with a million opioid deaths only adding to that just now, No reaction. Totally fine. Fire a couple of government workers, REVOLUTION!!!! Burn it down!!!
Yup. True Socialists, Defenders of the Working Guy.
“JFK Files Released… Here They Are
Okay, looking for all those apologies around here for the Black Pills. Go ahead and make them long, pretty, and heartfelt.
“Watch: Scott Jennings Stunned As CNN Panel Shamelessly Defends Illegal Alien Criminals
“The passion on the left for defending violent transnational terrorist gang members has surprised even me. But yet … here we are.”Yes, and for the rest of us, we’re like: WHERE is you head at? We’re trying to put ourselves in your shoes to understand, like so we can communicate and be productive.
That’s in this – as Rudyard is, incredibly long — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQfNRC_OWYA (he does hour long formats)
The Left is like this “American Beauty”, where a kid takes a s—t job to cover for where all his money comes from, which is really drug dealing. The point isn’t to hide it. It’s totally implausible. The point is to make it plausible so his father has material, a narrative to fool HIMSELF. That’s all the Left does now. IT’S NOT FOR YOU. (as they were saying about all those movies). It’s for THEM. They basically don’t care what you think or know, the only impulse is to keep their OWN in line, rejecting every evidence of their eyes, all facts, make them immune to persuasion. And yes, it works well, we know that from other Cults.
They don’t HAVE to be a cult. Just a few years ago – well I guess it’s been a while now – like 2010, they were considered normal, like culture-making, average, working people like everyone. Just Democrats. We have Republicans and Democrats and we’re all in the same office together, the same road crew. We didn’t do this: THEY did, by purging their own moderates and dissidents. I think they, their strategists took a gamble they only needed ONE election to go one-party system forever. In fact, they said so. So it was a good bet to take this short-term approach with terrible long-term consequences. They’d want them radicalized to “Cultural Revolution” and murder everyone shortly anyway. …Which again, they also SAID SO. They, Hillary, SAID they were starting re-education camps, remember? Australia actually DID. Covid camps for the unclean. Hunted down like animals and brought in cages.
“China’s Xi ‘Angered’ by Panama Port Deal Prioritized By Trump
I’m sure he is. But this was going to go back to the prophesy that there would be this long war, positioning, and at the end of it, Russia would flip and remain western, against China. They would be the pivotal force. That makes a lot more sense now than a few years ago.
Eggs: Demonstrating unlike the Black Pills here, all our problems are completely made up. Invented. Fabricated. Therefore very, very easy to solve. In this case by simply not killing every chicken you can find for no reason. Who knew?
“Based on the current rate of improvement, AI will be smarter than the smartest human.”Since it was the “Smartest humans” who told us to kill every chicken on planet earth, you can see why I’m not enthused. Can we get an AI that has the common sense of a milking goat? That might work way better.
“Looked like a useless phone call. Don’t think the US side seriously prepared.”
Under my theory that makes sense since it’s not Putin he’s talking to. It’s Europe. Breathless Comments from Europe are “Why are you committing Hegemonic Suicide?” Yeah, we were just asking YOU, Europe, why are YOU committing suicide? We’ve never been better, thanks and we all know why: because only if there is a “Hegemon” who will take over and run all Europe will we fight all your wars and destroy ourselves for you. Thanks but no thanks. Like any narcissistic mother, “But we’re doing this all for YOU!!!” Uhhh, right.
“The US and Russia have agreed that Moscow and Kiev should pause attacks on each other’s energy infrastructure,”
Yeah, EUROPE is bombing Exxon. In Russia. EUROPE is bombing pipelines…to Hungary. Stop.
““First of all, don’t listen to the idiot politicians that say, yeah, we’ve degraded the Russian army. No, we have chewed up a lot of material..”
Again, LITERALLY World News Report had a cover saying Russia is now STRONGER because of this. Years ago. Lindsay doesn’t know Up from Down, Bigger from Smaller. “We’re fighting this war to steal a trillion in resources and not an American is killed.” Yeah, you’re making Russia STRONGER. #Winning! All things and their #Opposites are the same. BothNeitherAi.
Anyway, the point of the above, Hungary and the ceasefire is that Russia needs a week or two to win and move to surround Kiev. Because there’s nothing between the lines they have now and Kiev but the Dnipr. …Where is KURSK? It’s like Kiev’s Hat. If you have an army there, they can get gas and shop at the malls there. That army is large, mobilized, angry, nearby, and in a day or two won’t have anything to do with themselves since every invader in Kursk will be dead. THAT, is why all these phone calls are and will go nowhere.

Well if they can cancel RFK’s…
Was going to bring up that there is an (intentional) mixup with the Autopen story. The Media keeps running it as Trump is annulling Biden’s pardons. NO. Trump is saying Biden never signed them. Someone snuck in the office and hit “Play” on the Autopen machine to get themselves free. Or 100 people.
Now, NEXT problem. Not discussed, Whyyyyyyyy???? WHY DOESN’T SOMEBODY ASK BIDEN? “Hey Joe, did you sign this?” Problem solved! NOPE. Like Kamala, Joe doesn’t exist anymore, like a video game, or a movie, you put it back in its case, RoboCop and Mel Gibson disappear. ASK. Why can’t you ask? Why can’t a SINGLE reporter think to ask?
Because Biden’s actually dead? Or we’ll find out he’s actually 100x worse than the 100 times worse we already knew he was? What? Explain. NOPE. Not a single sliver of curiosity. You’d think they were all doctors or something with the way they don’t ask questions!

Hey I’ve been watching this since Boomers put all their kids on milk cartons and kept doubling down on everything that caused it: drugs, working moms, porn on cable, corrupt police, indifferent mayors, competing with the Jones’s.

“We’ll make more, whoops, I mean, if any more appear we’ll abort them BEFORE they can cause trouble by like, disappearing n’ stuff.” Well, that’s the world I grew up in, EVERY. DAY. Of my life. Nice to know you’re loved and protected, eh? Adults got yer back?

And a note for the day:
“A common objection to libertarianism is that it is a system in which people are free to do stupid things that aren’t in their own self interest.
This is antithetical to the more popular statist system in which people are forced to do stupid things that aren’t in their own self interest.” — Brian W. RymanMarch 19, 2025 at 1:13 pm #184469my parents said know

“On 3rd June, 1961, [Henry] Marshall was found dead on his farm by the side of his Chevy Fleetside pickup truck. His rifle lay beside him. He had been shot five times with his own rifle. Soon after County Sheriff Howard Stegall arrived, he decreed that Marshall had committed suicide. No pictures were taken of the crime scene, no blood samples were taken of the stains on the truck (the truck was washed and waxed the following day), no check for fingerprints were made on the rifle or pickup.”
It never ceases to amaze me how determined some suicides can be.

By Travis Fisher and Joshua LoucksUsing models from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the study shows there’s little likelihood that these reductions will be met in the next 25 years, meaning the subsidies have no meaningful end date.
The authors estimated all the ITCs and PTCs that might come from the various carbon-free eligible projects — whether they be nuclear, wind, solar, geothermal, energy storage, green manufacturing or hydrogen — and using complex models, the authors came to some overall estimates.

ParticipantPhone Call For Peace https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/phone-call-for-peace
White House Says ‘Peace To Begin’ As Putin Agrees To Halt Attacks On Ukraine’s Energy Facilities For 30 Days
According to the emerging call readouts, Putin and Trump held “detailed and frank talks on Ukraine”. Both are characterizing that the call went ‘very well’. But much in the readouts. The White House called for the need for peace and a ceasefire in the Ukraine war. Putin agreed to start talks to “work something out”. But perhaps the most substantial agreement included a Putin pledge not to hit Ukraine’s energy infrastructure for a period of 30-days, in an apparent nod to the US-backed interim ceasefire proposal:
WHITE HOUSE: THE LEADERS AGREED THAT THE MOVEMENT TO PEACE WILL BEGIN WITH AN ENERGY AND INFRASTRUCTURE CEASEFIRE
KREMLIN: PUTIN SUPPORTS IDEA NOT TO HIT ENERGY FACILITIES
PUTIN BACKS IDEA NOT TO HIT ENERGY FACILITIES FOR 30 DAYS
PUTIN SAYS READY TO CONTINUE SEARCHING FOR WAYS TO PEACE: IFX
KREMLIN: PUTIN, TRUMP AGREED TO STAY IN CONTACT – TASS…
WHITE HOUSE: WILL NEGOTIATE FULL CEASEFIRE AND PERMANENT PEACE
RUSSIA, UKRAINE TO SWAP 175 POWS EACH ON WEDNESDAY: KREMLIN
But so far the plan to refrain from energy attacks is an ‘idea’ – suggesting that if Ukraine keeps up its own cross-border attacks on Russia, it will all be moot. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/putin-demands-halt-western-military-aid-ukraine-ahead-trump-call
To summarize the contents: Russia wants a Navy Base in Odessa, and assured access to Transnistria now, a new demand. Russia is probably willing to trade the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant to Ukraine for this. Russia continues to advance in Zaporozhye ground offensive, removing Ukrainian possibility to take the power plant militarily. Ukraine had hoped to trade Kursk for the power plant, but has lost Kursk suddenly, and would prefer to threaten Transnistria to get Zaporozhye back, but that may not happen.
Trump may recognize Crimea as Russian. The British 100 year “Friendship Treaty” with Ukraine supposedly gives the UK a military port in Odessa and all the mining rights, so Russia seeks to specifically thwart this. Russia will presumably grind forward on the ground for the rest of the year if demands are not met.
Trump likely wants Russia to abandon Iran, and thereby Yemen in order for the US to stop helping Ukraine. 30 NATO Commanding Officers in Kursk not mentioned.

On Friday, US President Donald Trump acknowledged that “thousands of Ukrainian troops are completely surrounded by the Russian military and in a very bad and vulnerable position” in Kursk Region and urged Moscow to “spare” their lives. In response, Putin offered the servicemen guaranteed safety and merciful treatment if they surrender.

Kremlin releases Putin-Trump phone call summary
Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump have held a phone conversation lasting over two hours, discussing a peaceful resolution to the Ukraine conflict.
The Kremlin reported that the two leaders spoke about a suggested 30-day ceasefire, a prisoner exchange, and maritime security, with Putin responding positively to Trump’s proposals. Both leaders expressed interest in normalizing US-Russia relations, agreeing to continue discussions on global security, economic cooperation, and even cultural exchanges like NHL-KHL hockey matches.
The Kremlin has published a summary:
A phone conversation between Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump took place on March 18, 2025.
Reaffirming his commitment to a peaceful resolution of the conflict, President Putin expressed readiness to work closely with American partners on a thorough and comprehensive settlement. He emphasized that any agreement must be sustainable and long-term, addressing the root causes of the crisis while considering Russia’s legitimate security interests.
Regarding President Trump’s initiative for a 30-day ceasefire, the Russian side highlighted key concerns, including effective monitoring of the ceasefire across the entire front line, halting forced mobilization in Ukraine, and stopping the rearmament of its military. Russia also noted serious risks due to Kiev’s history of undermining previous agreements and drew attention to terrorist attacks carried out by Ukrainian militants against civilians in the Kursk region.
It was emphasized that a crucial condition for preventing further escalation and working toward a political-diplomatic resolution is the complete cessation of foreign military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine.
In response to Trump’s recent request to ensure the safety of Ukrainian troops encircled in Kursk Region, Putin confirmed that Russia is guided by humanitarian considerations. He assured his counterpart that Ukrainian soldiers who surrender will be granted safety and treated in accordance with Russian laws and international humanitarian norms.
During the conversation, Trump proposed a mutual agreement between both sides to refrain from striking energy infrastructure for 30 days. Putin welcomed the initiative and immediately instructed the Russian military to comply...
..Putin informed Trump that on March 19, Russia and Ukraine would conduct a prisoner exchange involving 175 detainees from each side. Additionally, as a goodwill gesture, Russia will transfer 23 severely wounded Ukrainian soldiers who are currently receiving medical treatment in Russian hospitals.
Both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to continuing efforts toward resolving the Ukraine conflict bilaterally, incorporating the proposals discussed. To facilitate this, Russian and American expert groups will be established.
Putin and Trump also discussed broader international issues, including the situation in the Middle East and the Red Sea region. They agreed to coordinate efforts to stabilize crisis areas and enhance cooperation on nuclear non-proliferation and global security, which, in turn, would improve the overall state of US-Russia relations. A positive example of such cooperation was their joint vote at the United Nations on a resolution regarding the Ukraine conflict.
Both leaders expressed mutual interest in normalizing bilateral relations, recognizing the shared responsibility of Russia and the United States in ensuring global security and stability. In this context, they explored various areas for potential cooperation, including discussions on mutually beneficial economic and energy partnerships. https://www.rt.com/russia/614436-kremlin-text-phone-trump/ Gilbert Doctorow, Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko and Russia’s terms for a cease fire
I speak here of ‘peace negotiations’ because the Russians are uninterested in a 30-day ceasefire for a variety of reasons I set out below. They insist on entering at once into talks for a durable peace on terms that respect their security concerns…
..Grushko’s coming forward a day ago to restate the Russian position on its hard terms for entering into peace negotiations demonstrates that the Ministry, on instructions from Vladimir Putin, is firm and unwavering in its demands, namely neutrality for Ukraine, territorial concessions to acknowledge Russian annexation of the Donbas and Novaya Rossiya oblasts, no foreign troops or infrastructure in Ukraine. One may say that these are non-negotiable and will either be accepted by Trump or the war will go on as long as needed to bring about Ukrainian capitulation…
..Some agreement about deployment of neutral monitors is essential. As for actual deployment of monitors, it may take up to six months given the vast length of the line of contact.
That is, per Buzhinsky, monitors, not peace-keepers. He insists that the British plan for sending troops to Ukraine is a subterfuge for de facto establishment of British bases in Ukraine, with likely emphasis on positioning such bases on the Black Sea coast, where they will be a permanent threat to Crimea and to Russian naval assets. The French also have in mind putting troops into the Odessa area, which they have coveted for more than two centuries. This is all totally unacceptable to Russia…
..I do not know how close a military coup is to realization, but I do believe that it is the only way out of the Ukrainian mess. There are NO responsible, level-headed leaders of an opposition in Ukraine who could succeed Zelensky and take the country back to normalcy. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/03/17/deputy-foreign-minister-alexander-grushko-and-russias-terms-for-a-cease-fire/ Ukraine Quickly & Intentionally Broke Putin-Trump Deal On Energy Targets: Moscow
The White House said that President Putin committed to a halt of attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure for a period of 30-days. The Kremlin readout also appeared to acknowledge and agree to this.
Less than 24 hours later, Russia has accused Ukraine of already breaking the Trump agreement. Russia’s defense ministry on Wednesday said Ukraine attack an oil transfer facility in Russia’s Krasnodar Region that services an international pipeline operation partially owned by American investors.

One must accept that these European leaders are actively seeking to establish common leverage against Trump with his domestic opponents on both sides of Congress and within what remains of the institutions like the Pentagon, USAID, the State Department that oppose the Trump reforms.
In these circumstances, it should not surprise anyone that Donald Trump has been spreading confusion about his intentions at every turn. He has been prepared to back the warlike policies of the Israel Lobby at least for now, while prioritizing the number one issue before him if he is to remake the World Order from the presently unsustainable global hegemony through alliances to Great Power exercising regional hegemony in the Western Hemisphere and sharing global decision-making with two or three other great powers in a Yalta-2 settlement.

Andrew Korybko, The European Parliament Confirmed Poland’s Centrality To The Bloc’s Eastern Security Strategy
Poland is at a geostrategic crossroads amidst the nascent Russian-US “New Détente” whereby it can either remain a stalwart American ally despite its misgivings about the rapid Russian-US rapprochement, rely more on France to balance the US, or pivot away from the US towards France. The outcome of May’s presidential election will likely determine which way it goes since a conservative or populist victory would raise the odds of the first or second scenarios while a liberal-globalist one would raise the third’s.
Tusk is essentially seeking to secure more European financing and foreign troops before the elections so as to ensure that the next president feels pressured by precedent into relying more on France to balance the US than remaining a stalwart American ally if they’re not from his party. https://korybko.substack.com/p/the-european-parliament-confirmedMarch 19, 2025 at 3:57 pm #184486John Day

“These are foreign terrorists, that the president has identified them, and designated them as such, and we will continue to follow the Alien Enemies Act,” Bondi said Monday on Fox News’s “Jesse Watters Primetime.” https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5200237-pam-bondi-deportation-flights-venezuela-court-order/Obama Judge Rules Against DOGE Shutdown Of USAID, Orders Employee Access Reinstated https://www.zerohedge.com/political/obama-judge-rules-against-doge-shutdown-usaid-orders-employees-be-reinstated
JFK experts scour newly unsealed assassination files
The US government has released the final batch of documents on the assassination of President John F Kennedy (JFK) – a case that still inspires conspiracy theories more than 60 years later.
It follows an executive order by President Donald Trump that required remaining unredacted files in the case to be made public. Experts are combing over the papers, not all of which have appeared online… Many Americans still believe the gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald, did not act alone. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cpv4p3pv3eloRecession Canceled: US Industrial Production Jumps To Record High https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/recession-canceled-us-industrial-production-jumps-record-high

Participant ‘This isn’t war. It’s genocide’: Why the world is silent about massacres in Syria Survivors of the violence against the Alawite, Christian, and Druze communities
The massacre in Latakia: A night of unimaginable horror
In one of the darkest nights in Syria’s recent history, coordinated attacks on rural Latakia resulted in mass executions. Survivors tell of masked men storming their villages, dragging families from their homes, and carrying out public executions. Those who resisted were burned inside their homes, leaving behind entire neighborhoods reduced to smoldering ruins.
Testimonies from survivors suggest that many of the perpetrators were foreign fighters, brought in from regions far from the Middle East. “They didn’t even speak our language,” an elderly survivor told RT. “They had no idea who we were, no reason to hate us – except that they were told to.” https://www.rt.com/news/614269-to-them-we-werent-people/Germany Pledges Hundreds Of Millions To Syrian Regime Despite Sectarian Massacres https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/germany-pledges-hundreds-millions-syrian-regime-despite-sectarian-massacres

ParticipantDay 2 – My battle against Laundry Detergents:
On my second night, after washing my bedding and clothes in Original Ivory Soap, I did not sleep a wink as my skin started burning again!
After 12 hours I knew my burning skin could not be from just eating food, even though I have many food allergies.
Food doesn’t last 12 hours in your body.
Food allergies hit you a lot sooner than 12 hours.So, what did I do differently the first night from the second night?
The first night I did not put anything on my dry skin.
The second night I put some “Vaseline Problem Skin Therapy Cream” on my body!So I Goggled the ingredients in this cream.
But not Unilever the makers of this cream.
Well, what do you know!
The 4th ingredient is phosphate as a cleaning agent !!!!
The same god dam stuff they put in detergents !!!!
No wonder I spent the whole night and this morning with my skin burning up !!!!I have just had a bath washing all of this phosphate cream off my body.
I am still burning a little but the burning and pain is now gone.To moisturize my dry skin I have gone back to plain old petroleum jelly and so far I feel fine, if only a little greasy.
Note to Poppie:
Do not use “Vaseline Problem Skin Therapy Cream”!
It contains phosphate which basically make this cream a detergent!
It comes in a round white plastic container about 3.75 inches in diameter and 3 inches tall.March 19, 2025 at 5:57 pm #184499those darned kids
Participantjust wash your stuff with hot water. that will be fine for most things. the funkier ones (wink, wink) will require a little more, but i imagine any soap that works fine for your skin, will be fine for your clothes.
you’ll have to do those things by hand.

Thinking about what is going on in Syria reminds me that the Middle East is probably not on Trump’s agenda because Trump had to concede this area to the CIA.
So why would the current government be so hell bent on killing all the minorities in Syria?
Think back to Obama’s Arab Spring.
Obama is most likely Muslim.
And what religion was his CIA head, Burns?
Yeah, Burns was Muslim too.
Who is running Syria?
Yeah, the CIA !

ParticipantWES, you could try Castor Oil. It has many effects, I have one that’s powerful and hot from many years (decades?) ago. Then another new, health pure version. That acts like olive oil. It does work really well so test one and see if you get a mild version, good for much skin. Doctors? Add?
If you can get a hot version, that was great for winter, but like…why two radically different formulas? And no labeling on it?? It was clear the hot one would do the purge.
Aren’t there magnesium creams? Two birds with one stone?
