A while back I mentioned that it was just the really bad illegals that were going to end up being deported, that the threat to evict the millions of them who poured in during the last administration was hollow, that it wouldn’t happen.

So far, the only deportations we’re seeing are the cartel members, the tattooed freaks with their heads shaved being loaded onto airplanes bound for El Salvador. There’s no apparent effort at all to deport all the others who have come in, an estimated 30 million of them.

By pure coincidence, no doubt, I mean, they wouldn’t have planned this all along, would they? Pres. Trump has imposed tariffs globally, big tariffs, that are going to force us to start manufacturing goods here again, and looky there, there’s all those foreign workers.

Many of them are currently living on welfare handouts and their numbers are swelling with the hundreds of thousands of government employees who are joining the unemployed and will be desperately seeking jobs.

So I have my usual predictions based on all this, which are that manufacturing is going to take off like one of Elon’s rockets because of the pressure of all those seeking work and the fact that for awhile, labor is going to be cheap again entirely because so many will be competing for the jobs. A big, eager work force that will work for low wages is any manufacturers dream. Old factory buildings will be quickly refurbished and put to use and new ones will be built in a hurry. We can pre-fab a lot of structures now.

My other prediction, which seems pretty obvious, is that the streets of America are going to be cleaned up and the homeless gone. Vagrant laws will start being enforced again as these people are sent to work farms to produce food for the rest of us. This used to be a common practice with vagrants and minor offenders, and you watch, it will be reinstated. I say this because as America goes back to work making Made In USA products again, local pride and national pride will make a comeback and mayors who won’t clean up their cities will get the boot.

There will be TV and online testimonials from ex-homeless who will sing the praises of the programs that gave them back their lives, cities will compete for Cleanest City. Things are really going to change. Imagine being in San Francisco and it doesn’t smell of open sewage anymore. Won’t that be nice.

Increasing the import duties on foreign cars by 25% will make imported cars cost more. It will not make US made cars cost more. The same is true for everything else made in the USA, cost to consumer stays the same except for inflation, which never stops increasing.

The US imports most hard goods, such as electronics, nails and screws, coffee grinders, etc. and prices will increase because of the added duties, but competition between brands will cause them to absorb some of those duties, and American manufacturing is already stepping up to make these goods here again because now they can compete again in price.

Also, the prices of foreign goods has gone up a lot since our manufacturing went overseas because their worker wages have increased as their own standards of living increased, so their goods are not nearly as competitively priced as they used to be. By the end of Trump’s four years, that have barely started, Made In The USA will be stamped on almost everything we buy again instead of Made In China, and the quality control will be to OUR standards instead of their nearly non-existent ones.

This won’t happen overnight, best estimates I’ve seen are that it will take about two years for our manufacturing to take over again and the marketplace to level off, and until then, things are going to be more difficult economically than they are at present for most Americans.

It’s vital for us to go through this because otherwise our country will never recover from the loss of our manufacturing and the rapidly increasing national debt, and our nation will become bankrupt. Once that happens, every nation that owns a piece of us will take over our assets. If you think the temporary stock market downturn now is important, wait until you see the utter collapse of it if the USA goes bankrupt.

The USA is the backbone of modern civilization. The Dollar is the world’s currency, Made In America was until recently the global standard and needs to be so, once again. It’s the USA that’s upheld the standards of democratic government, personal rights and human freedoms across the globe for others to emulate and our problems now are the result of the degradation of these standards here at home. The reasons are too many to get into for a blog post, but any of us who’ve paid any attention at all don’t need to be reminded why.

If the USA goes bankrupt, so will the world economy. The tariffs are about far more than just saving America’s economy, they are literally about saving human civilization from stepping backward into anarchy as everyone fights each other over our scraps while international trade collapses, and the starvation, diseases and riots spread.

This isn’t an imaginative overreach. If the US fails, China will start attacking those nations no longer supported by us, so will Russia, and the EU will be doing it’s best to suck up all the territory it can. It’s not a big stretch to imagine nuclear weapons being used and maintaining the economic integrity of the United States is the only thing preventing all this.

Why do you think China and other states have been trying so hard for so long to destroy our economy?

The US may have to leave NATO before long. The bloc is “heading south” in terms of their original purpose, which is, or was, to protect each other in the event of a member state being attacked by a non-member. It’s purpose is not to defend non-member states and Ukraine is a non-member.

Any NATO state may sell or otherwise provide munitions to any state but not send in troops unless it’s a NATO state under attack, yet this is being planned under EU auspices. That doesn’t matter, they’re still members of NATO.

Meanwhile, Turkey is moving troops into Syria as a direct threat to Israel, the US’s strongest M.E. ally, and Turkey is a NATO member. The US does not want to find itself in defense of Israel against Turkey, and in defense of member nations under attack by Russia because they invaded Ukraine. The only tenable position is to withdraw from NATO, allowing the US freedom from pressure to engage itself in undesired and harmful involvements.

If the US leaves NATO, that organization may not collapse but it will certainly do some major reorganizing. Germany mostly runs the EU and it’s not hard to imagine them taking over NATO and converting it to a dictatorial military force that brings even more restrictions on the freedoms of Europeans than they’re suffering now. “1984” definitely comes to mind, that scenario has been on the increase in Europe for decades now anyway.

Barack Obama, when he was campaigning for President, said that he was going to “fundamentally transform America”, and he did, he boarded the ship of state, took hold of her helm, swung it far to the Left and held it there for eight years.

In that time, homosexual parades of naked men became common on the main streets of our cities, while the economy cratered, homeless encampments of drug addicts grew, the streets became open toilets, our colleges became centers for Leftist demonstrations and our children were encouraged to have their genitals mutilated.

Purely due to overconfidence in their ability to steal the votes, Donald Trump became President, but his attempts to reverse course were stymied at every turn by not just the openly Left but also his own party and even almost everyone in his cabinet that he himself appointed. Not to be outdone again, the Left made sure that he lost re-election and their puppet Joe Biden was installed as the front man while they swung the helm Left again for another four years.

Now the mystery begins. Donald Trump ran for President again and this time he was easily elected. No doubt there was vote stealing by the Left but the effort was minimal. They could have stolen the election again, but chose instead to let Nature take it’s course and allow an honest, more or less, election.

The assumption is that there was a power shift among those who actually run most of the world because what they had been trying wasn’t working out well and it was time to let the rudder swing back more to the Right and try a different Fundamental Change.

This may be due to the radical shift that Western Europe has taken, with citizen freedoms being radically curtailed, people thrown into prisons for expressing their opinions, teachers fired for refusing to use students “preferred pronouns” and so on. In France, Pres. Macron has had rival candidate Marine Le Pen imprisoned and barred from public office, in a clear move to establish himself as Dictator of France. Crime in Europe is out of hand, with knifings, child rapes and mass murders by fast moving vehicles becoming commonplace along with thefts and assaults.

The European Union, which started out as an economic cooperative bloc, has transformed itself into a de facto government over its member states. Europe is a mess and the USA was following directly in its footsteps.

Not anymore. The fundamental changes now occurring in the US are actually staggering compared to what Obama caused. The entire structure of government is being overhauled, major bureaus are being shut down or drastically reduced in size, government spending is being audited and waste is being almost brutally cut off. The entire bureaucracy is being disassembled. Memberships in international organizations like the WHO and treaties like the Paris Accords have been cancelled, a massive tariff system has been installed, the IRS, FBI, CIA, USAID, all are being audited and fully or partially dismantled and/or defunded.

Our supposed allies and our enemies, both, are being threatened with everything from economic disaster to bombs, to stop their raids on our treasury or their terrorist attacks, depending.

And this time around, the Uniparty is acting like two separate political parties again, Trump’s cabinet so far has not stabbed him in the back, or at least there’s been no reporting of it that I’ve seen, and Congress actually appears to be functioning again in a manner we used to think of as normal and proper, fifty years ago.

This isn’t just another Fundamental Transformation of the USA, not with what’s going on now with Greenland, Canada, Mexico and Ukraine and who knows what other small nations are on the menu. This is a transformation of North and Central American power and beyond. This is a re-alignment of world power. It’s a whole new balancing act.

I remember when Detente was the big global issue, when the number of nuclear armed nations increased and it became a vital issue that we all agree to refrain from attacking each other or else risk nuclear war. Now it’s money and territory instead of A-Bombs, it looks like nations may start consolidating again, absorbing each other into larger economic units if they can’t do it by force. Ukraine is only an exception to this because they don’t have nukes anymore, otherwise Putin wouldn’t be spending so many lives and so much fortune trying to expand Russia’s borders.

The EU tried to become the dominant world power through economic means, and failed. China is still trying to do the same, is failing, so is trying fear and bullying, like Russia. Now the USA is trying economic means along with fear and bullying.

Whatever group is behind these changes, it’s clear that they see the US as being in the best position to win this game, or all this wouldn’t be happening now and Donald Trump would not be at the helm of it. This isn’t cut and dried, there’s internal power struggles and they’re obviously at work against the changes. Personally I would love to see some sort of certain outcome regardless of what it is, and for the turmoil in the world to finally settle down.

No wonder “living in interesting times” is considered a curse.

Considering all the fraud that goes on all over the world all the time, we really don’t need to set a day aside that’s devoted to the commission of more of it, even if it’s just in fun.

Today’s news is a jumble of complaints and injustices that don’t deserve reporting on, so I’ll share a bit about me, instead. What the hell, it is my blog.

I have several hobbies, one of them is collecting, primarily early crystal radios and associated items, and early tube radios. I’m talking 1920’s and prior, and one bedroom is crammed with it. I’ve actually had to stop collecting because there’s no more room for anything in there, not even something the size of a flip phone.

Another hobby is being a lapidarist and rock hound. I’ve collected agates and jaspers from all over the world, and most of it has long since been mined out. These mineral discoveries are always small to begin with and come and go rapidly, with the result that they all become very rare within a matter of a few years, especially the most beautiful and exotic of discoveries.

What I’ve done over the decades is buy a small quantity of each discovery as it happened and the material appeared on the market. I cut and polish a few cabochons of it and save the rest, with the result that I now have well over a thousand cabochons of rare semi-precious stones and several hundred boxes, shoe-box size and smaller, of different material, much of it being no longer available. Along with them are a number of 5 gallon buckets and cardboard boxes full of various agates and jaspers, geodes and thunder eggs.

To work on all these rocks are a variety of diamond saws large and small, several cabbing machines, tumblers, flat laps and a large amount of associated equipment and supplies.

Being a rock hound has found me on many adventures into a lot of pretty remote places, to find and bring home more gemmy new material. I went so far as Coober Pedy, Australia for fire opal but most of my USA collecting was done on the west coast. Most of my collection comes from all over the world, though, from Morocco to Madagascar, Panama to Peru, Mexico to Malawi. Everywhere good stuff is found.

Macular degeneration is causing me to lose my central vision, my right eye is end stage now and my left eye is beginning to darken, so before I can do it no longer, I bought a nice new cabbing machine and I’ve been cutting all those slabs that I’d set aside to do someday, and doing it now. The day has come.

The thing about macular degeneration is while you go legally blind, you can still see. Just not anything in front of you. You keep your peripheral vision, so I’ll be able to find my way around the house just fine but will no longer drive a car, as I’d run into anything right in front of me.

What you have to do is look beside something, then you can see it, but as soon as you do and try to look right at it, it’s gone. It takes some getting used to, so I hope my left eye remains useful for a long time yet. No guarantees there, though.

A lapidarist is a person who cuts and polishes gems.

DOGE, the Department Of Government Efficiency, under the guidance of Elon Musk, is auditing the finances of the Department of Defense, USAID and the CIA and making them all very unhappy. These people, the Deep State, all have lots of guns and people willing to use them, and all are engaged in stealing taxpayer money by the billions of dollars.

Suddenly, someone is organizing attacks on Tesla dealerships, cars and charging stations. Tesla is Musks primary source of income. What a coincidence.

Who is really running this country? It appears that all these acronym departments and bureaus are working together with those who chose the path of diminishing the USA economically, therefore in terms of world power, in favor of the Eastern Bloc, and this course has now veered sharply right. Does this foretell the failure of the Eastern Bloc? Is that why?

Since no one has murdered Mr. Musk or any of his DOGE associates yet, and considering the power of the people they’re messing with, this would be easy to do, then I’ll assume that the attacks on Tesla are a message to back off. Not stop, just be a little more circumspect in what is revealed. His factories built 1.8 million Teslas in 2024, they can burn 1000 of them, it doesn’t really matter.

All signs are that China’s economy is now the one that’s sliding while the USA is rebounding. This isn’t really news, there’s been lots of signs that China was heading for an economic fall, and now all the tariffs being imposed are making this fall more imminent as the purpose of them is to move manufacturing back into the USA, which is China’s largest trading partner.

China is where all the manufacturing moved off to, of course, and which enabled them to rise to the threat level they’ve now become, and I wonder if the whole purpose of allowing the US economy to get as bad as it has wasn’t to push China’s economy over the edge. After all, as their biggest trading partner, our economies are tied together. This has been great for China while it lasted but not so great when the money gets pinched off.

Elon Musk has been building most of his Teslas in China, and sales have been so good there that the Chinese government began promoting Chinese-made and branded electric cars over his and now exceed Tesla sales, which are still huge. Musk is a major player in the world economy and in USA-China relations and now he’s building more factories in the USA.

What I see are lots of US power plays designed to pressure China into accepting a more moderate approach to the consolidation of world power, of not allowing China to be the dominant guiding force. As things move along with the “Trump Administration” supposedly in charge, it becomes steadily more apparent that human prosperity is a goal, not just subjugation. There can be both. The socio-economic disruption model has been abandoned because it’s now too obvious that national prosperity combined with a massive affluent population creates the wealth needed to keep increasing power.

Why is Elon Musk helping run our government? Are you kidding? Him and a lot of other billionaire friends (Cronies? Cohorts?) of his as well. You surely didn’t miss it when all those billionaire enemies of Trumps went to Mar A Lago to kiss his ring, did you? Facebook et al. These people aren’t the shadow government but they are part of it. The “Deep State”, with all it’s power and blood-sucking, is finding itself being incorporated into a larger whole and being diminished in the process.

A mass of poor, homeless people can’t be ruled, they form a good, solid base for anarchy only, and this base has been growing. Undoubtedly, a lot of alarms started going off that the Leftist-style approach wasn’t working.

But the US government isn’t unified, or there would not be warnings to Musk, various senators and governors wouldn’t be sounding discordant tunes, and people like George Soros would be unable to keep pushing their agendas. Many people have yet to board the train and that’s the internal conflicts we’re seeing now.

Of great interest to me is that Donald Trump is now saying he might try for a third term in office, which when you couple with Joe Biden being removed from the 2024 election ballot against his will and an absolutely No Chance Harris candidate run against Trump, tells me that everyone that matters in the government is working together well enough to insure the durability of our dictatorship.

Also note that Pres. Trump just flew another group, of 17 violent criminals this time from the Tren de Aragua and MS-13 gangs to the prison in El Salvador, ignoring the orders of Judge Boasberg. That should tell you where the DOJ is at now.

That’s it for now. More as it reveals itself.

“Mind-Blowing New Discoveries Beneath the Khafre Pyramid.”

Yeah, right. If this isn’t a total scam, I’ll buy the next round. If you believe this crap, you’re an April Fool.

“The GREATEST mystery of our time folks – still hard to believe: NEW DISCOVERY: Linking Giza Pyramids SAR Scans & Da Vinci’s Codex 134

– Clip  (Seriously folks – either a more advanced human race existed  thousands of years ago than they let on, or it is aliens. One or the other… we STILL do not know how the Pyramids were built even now…never forget this, it was NOT slave labor…as it would be impossible btw. We can’t move the huge rocks NOW – so that should give you a hint. One chunk is over a million tons.  See full vid in next link – Mal)“

During Pres. Trump’s first term, every executive order he issued was ruled against by some appellate judge somewhere, blocking them, declaring them unconstitutional or giving some other almost always bogus reason in order to prevent him from being effective as President.

At the same time, he was being sued in Federal and civil courts over everything imaginable, found guilty of a variety of felonies in criminal courts and owing huge sums of money in lost civil cases. It was during this period that the American public learned a new term, Lawfare. The waging of war against an individual using the judicial system.

Then he became President again and most, if not all, of the judgements against him have been retracted, dismissed or otherwise evaporated, because the Leftist judges who so gleefully prosecuted him were all violating laws and/or his constitutional rights in doing so, and they had to back off or be prosecuted.

The civil suits have ended and no one is trying to convict him of any fabricated crimes now, which would risk their careers and possibly gain them some prison time. Instead they’re keeping a little distance by only blocking his executive orders that pertain primarily to reversing Wokeness and the illegal alien invasion.

It’s been revealed that Obama coerced Supreme Court Justice Roberts into voting for the very unconstitutional Obamacare, aka The Affordable Care Act which is incredibly UNaffordable, after discovering that Roberts had illegally adopted two children from a Latin American nation and used that as a threat to force his vote. That’s the story going around, anyway, and it seems credible to me.

Since then, Justice Roberts has been compromised by the Left, as I and many others see it, and this now creates a problem for enforcing Pres. Trump’s executive orders that are being attacked by the Leftist judges that declare them unconstitutional. This has to be decided by the Supreme Court and Justice Robert’s vote in Pres. Trump’s favor is vital to maintaining his ability to act effectively as President.

It’s not looking good right now, as a Lower Court justice, Leftist Judge Boasberg, an Obama appointment, has blocked the deportations of criminal drug-gang illegal aliens and Pres. Trump wants Boasberg impeached. Justice Roberts injected himself into this fracas by admonishing Pres. Trump that judges should be reviewed, not impeached, when in fact impeachment is a very real and valid remedy for activist, cowboy judges. It won’t happen, of course, since a 2/3 Senate vote is required and the Republicans are barely more than half.

In the end, none of this may matter. Boasberg’s ruling is temporary, and a final ruling may see Pres. Trump getting his way. The actions of Judge Boasberg may actually be a feint to prevent the massive deportations of foreigners that Pres. Trump desires and limit it to just the really bad actors, because it’s just possible that our government actually wants to keep most of them. When you consider the uproar over his announcing plans to deport them all, everyone would have to agree to just getting rid of the bad apples, if that were the only remaining option.

Remember it’s a Uniparty. The actions of the Left may just be steps to promote a public compromise with the Right, and vice versa, because the true goal has always been somewhere in between.

A massive new discovery of lithium, the stuff so important to the new, power storing batteries for vehicles and power tools, was just made in the bottom of a lake in California, adding to the other huge discoveries that have already been made in the USA.

Even as lithium mining and refining develops here, vehicle manufacturing is returning along with advanced microchip and AI development. All this is in the news. What isn’t in the news so much is the research into new forms of energy production.

Technological knowledge is steadily expanding and now it has AI to move it along faster. Scientists in all fields are steadily expanding human knowledge. For example, cures for most cancers have been found, it’s only their application that’s been lagging. It takes time to put new knowledge into practical use.

Net-gain energy from fusion has finally been achieved. Practical application eventually will be, but what if there was a major breakthrough in energy production? There was in batteries, and more are coming. Carbon is extremely cheap and massively abundant, and look what scientists are doing with it now.

A new, cheaper source of power is not just inevitable, it has to happen and soon. Everything is switching over to battery power and those batteries have to be repeatedly charged back up by a currently inadequate infrastructure. Not enough power is being generated now to handle all our current needs.

A new, cheap form of safe and abundant power would eventually end lithium mining because every technology becomes both more compact and more efficient over time. Why carry batteries that weigh as much as the rest of the vehicle when a small power plant needing no external fuel source does the job? No charging stations would be needed. No power plants, power lines, coal mines, hydroelectric dams. Science fiction now but it’s a possible future.

While all the international power jockeying goes on, while nations and religions threaten and assault each other and internal politics keeps making headlines, you can bet that the number one issue among a certain set of scientists is achieving, with the increasing help of AI, the sort of power source I described, and they’ll create it. There has to be a lot more ways to get energy from atoms and their particles than by smashing them together or heating them into fusing, and they’ll find those ways, or different sources of energy entirely.

It may not be much longer before this happens. Advances are piling up one atop the other.

If I were China, I’d be asking, what do I want more, to see humanity move on to the next evolutionary stage in technology, or world domination while I can still grab it, that I can only achieve at this stage of the game by initiating a major war? And work at the advanced tech later.

China just announced their Big New Super Duper indomitable, undefeatable fighter jet, so a week later the USA announces their better, more undefeatable fighter jet. China threatens, everyone else threatens back, but China just keeps right on threatening and building more war machines for the use of their 1.5 billion or so citizens.

We should take a step back and look at the broad picture. Yes, technology is taking humanity to undreamed of new heights, but at the same time, there’s growing competition between East and West over who wins the governorship of Earth and the same technology is being used by both sides to achieve their goal.

The problem with even writing a post like this is that it’s impossible to be conclusive. I always end them lately with the reader and myself being left hanging and the next one, concerning our current government VS the Leftist judges, will be no different. Fortunately, no one has to read it because I haven’t written it yet. But beware, it’s coming.

An interesting article published this morning by CDM news reveals that the Chinese are after those Ukraine natural resources and are offering to send in “peacekeeping troops” to supposedly help maintain order when a cease-fire is reached.

This explains why Pres. Trump is engaged in negotiations over those same resources. It’s certain that Zelensky doesn’t want the Chinese joining the Russians in taking over Ukraine and making a resources deal with the US is his only way to prevent this.

The fact that Ukraine and the US are now negotiating over ownership of Ukraine’s power infrastructure is no coincidence either, as the Russians have already hired the Chinese to start rebuilding that infrastructure in areas in Ukraine that they now occupy.

This is why the US is working to end the war and bring Russia over to the US side. It’s another tug of war between China and the USA with Ukraine as the flag in the middle of the rope. Personally I expect the USA to win, mostly because Russia is much more European than it will ever be Asian, and the Russians aren’t stupid, they know what China is up to. If China gains a foothold in Ukraine they’ll never stop pushing until they control all of Europe. Including Russia.

In other news, “the White House announced Friday that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has committed to a 10-year, $1.4 trillion investment framework with the United States” “the agreement will significantly expand the UAE’s existing investments in the U.S., focusing on sectors including artificial intelligence, semiconductors, energy, and manufacturing.” This falls perfectly in line with the US taking over the Gaza Strip as Pres. Trump has been promoting, as part of achieving a global government. Economic unity is global unity.

Meanwhile, I hope Putin and his people know what they’re doing. The Chinese are not to be fooled with.
