All I can say is that in January something will happen and he will not be able to run again.

Was discussing this with my wife this morning over breakfast. Think of all the relationships we all have that have been severed over the past decade. Friends. Family. Business associates. All based on a lie. The Russia hoax was the genesis for the division in our country and the creation of the Orange Man Bad narrative. And it was all fabricated by the Obama/Clinton regime in an effort to grab power.
Personally, I'm in a place where I want to begin having this discussion with my friends and family who bought into the lie and allowed this divide to happen. I want them to understand it was a lie and I want to try and move past it. Apologies would be nice but not necessarily required for me.
And then, like we have discussed ITT, we will continue moving in chronological order to address the next big lies looming on the horizon. The stolen 2020 election and then the covid scam and the vaccine scam. I don't think the public is ready for it. Interesting times for sure.
Somebody scared?
I suggested other venues a few years back as they would be more cost effective.
At that time it was vetoed as the roots of this thread were Vegas.
Personally I feel with the prices of Vegas and its current state we should relocate.
For example, I have some friends going to Vegas there are 7 of them and if me and another guy went it would be 9. They want to go to have their fantasy draft, which personally I think is gay as fuck, and watch the Texas/Ohio State game poolside at some big outdoor/pool club.
Here is my Cost/Benefit Breakdown Per Person:
3 Night Trip Thursday-Sunday Vegas
Round Trip/Hotel at Aria $1100 each
Pool Cabana and Just One Bottle of Vodka $250 each
Meals Three Days With Tips Minimum $550
Drinks Three Days With Tips Minimum $550
Round of Golf $250
Not even putting in incidentals for Ubers etc is $2450 X 9 (If me and my best friend went) = $24,300
And as I explained to my friend who is pushing this thing - who the fuck wants to get up at 8:00 AM to head to the Cabana for a 9:00 AM kickoff?
His reply but there will be girls at the pool!
My reply hey dumb-fuck other than the waitresses girls in Vegas are getting out to the pool at 0900 to watch a game - have fun with your sausage fest.
INSTEAD 1 Week Trip Jaco Costa Rica
Flight Per Person X 9 $5076
House With 5 Bedrooms $5588
Beachfront Condo 7 Bedrooms $3766
Total $14,430
Which leaves you $9870 for food and drinks and golf which is a lot in CR
So old and tired Vegas they chose for 3 days vs a week in Jaco
If you only did 4 days there the home and condo drop to $5873 which would reduce the price of the trip or give you $13,351 for food drinks golf
Either 4 days of 7 days you could have private chefs, go fishing, and more.
Vegas is a waste of money and a fraud.
My 2 cents
I used to love Vegas in my younger days. I hate it now. Unless I'm going to see Dead and Company or something similar at The Sphere, I don't ever plan on going back. David Gilmour at The Sphere falls in the will return to Vegas category, too.
I get the Vegas roots of this thread and what color are the curtains and all that, but I vote for a change of venue, too.

There’s an NGO facilitating it
Let’s dive into verifying the medical claim from the X post by @ImMeme0 (Post ID: 1956705683308441617) dated August 16, 2025, 13:12 UTC, which states:
**"
BREAKING: North Carolina has just approved a law permitting foreign doctors to practice without completing U.S. training or licensing exams. American doctors, after spending thousands on their education, can now be replaced by doctors from Pakistan or Uganda."**
As Grok 3, built by xAI, I’ll analyze this claim based on available data, including the provided web results and my continuously updated knowledge, while considering the context of the current date (August 16, 2025, 01:10 PM EDT). Since the claim is time-sensitive ("just approved"), I’ll focus on recent developments and regulatory frameworks in North Carolina.
### Step 1: Understanding the Claim
The post asserts that North Carolina has enacted a new law allowing foreign-trained doctors (international medical graduates, or IMGs) to practice medicine without:
- Completing U.S.-based training (e.g., residency programs).
- Passing U.S. licensing exams (e.g., USMLE – United States Medical Licensing Examination).
It also implies that this could lead to American doctors being "replaced" by doctors from countries like Pakistan or Uganda, suggesting a policy shift that bypasses established standards.
### Step 2: Current Regulatory Framework (Baseline)
Based on historical and recent data up to my last update, and corroborated by the provided web results:
- **Licensing Requirements for IMGs in the U.S.**: The American Medical Association (AMA) and the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) outline a rigorous process for IMGs. This typically includes:
- ECFMG certification (verifying medical education credentials).
- Passing the USMLE Steps 1, 2, and often 3.
- Completing a U.S. residency program (usually 3-7 years, depending on specialty).
- Obtaining a state medical license, which varies by state but generally requires the above steps.
- **North Carolina Specifics**: According to the web result from Upwardly Global (2023), North Carolina’s licensing process for IMGs under "Path One" involves foreign degree evaluation, multiple tests, and residency. The state also issues limited licenses (e.g., professorial licenses) for IMGs to practice in specific capacities (e.g., at medical schools), but these require ECFMG certification and supervision, not full independent practice without training.
- **Historical Context**: As of 2019 (per immigrationimpact.com), about 25% of U.S. physicians are foreign-trained, but they must meet these standards. No evidence from prior years suggests a blanket exemption from training or exams.
### Step 3: Investigating the "New Law" Claim
The post’s timing (August 16, 2025) suggests a very recent change. Let’s evaluate:
- **Legislative Activity**: The web result from Ballotpedia on North Carolina healthcare policy highlights ongoing legislative efforts, but no specific mention of a 2025 law matching this description appears in the provided data. However, given the date, this could be a breaking news event post-dating the web results (last updated 2019-2023).
- **Plausibility**: Relaxing licensing requirements could address healthcare shortages (noted in immigrationimpact.com, where 20.8 million people live in areas reliant on IMGs). North Carolina has faced physician shortages, particularly in rural areas, which might motivate such a policy. However, bypassing residency and exams would be a radical departure from national standards set by the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) and AMA, raising safety and quality concerns.
- **Verification Attempt**: Without real-time access to North Carolina’s legislative records or official announcements (e.g., from the North Carolina Medical Board or state government) as of 01:10 PM EDT today, I cannot confirm a specific law passed in 2025. The claim’s urgency ("BREAKING") suggests it may stem from a recent bill, executive order, or misinterpretation of a proposal.
### Step 4: Cross-Checking with X Reactions and Context
The thread shows strong opposition (e.g., @attackdogX: "This is bullshit"; @AmyWolpers: "absolutely insane"), reflecting concern among users, including medical professionals. However, emotional reactions don’t verify facts. The mention of Pakistan and Uganda likely ties to the images (depicting individuals in what appears to be a South Asian or East African context), but this is speculative and doesn’t confirm a policy targeting those countries.
### Step 5: Conclusion and Assessment
Based on available evidence:
- **Is the Claim True?**: As of my last update and the provided web data, there is no evidence of a law in North Carolina (or any U.S. state) allowing IMGs to practice without U.S. training or licensing exams. The standard process remains intact. However, the claim’s recency (August 16, 2025) means it could reflect a very new development not yet documented in my sources or the web results.
- **Likelihood**: A complete exemption from residency and exams is highly unlikely given national accreditation standards (e.g., ACGME) and public health implications. More plausible would be a limited pilot program (e.g., supervised practice for IMGs in shortage areas), but even this would require exams and certification, per existing frameworks.
- **Recommendation**: To verify, check:
- The North Carolina Medical Board website (ncmedboard.org) for recent policy updates.
- Official state legislative records or news outlets (e.g., WRAL, The News & Observer) for August 2025 announcements.
- The original source of the claim (if linked in the post, though the provided URL is an image).
### Final Answer
The claim is **unverified** with the current data. It is not supported by established licensing practices as of 2023 or earlier, but its timing suggests it may relate to a breaking news event. I recommend consulting real-time official sources to confirm. If this is a new law enacted today, it would represent a significant policy shift, and I’d expect immediate backlash or clarification from medical boards—none of which is evident yet in the X thread or web results. Would you like me to search for more recent updates if tools are enabled?

And that's their game... "Prove it."
Nine Democrat officials pleaded not guilty this week to felony election-fraud charges in one of the most significant ballot-harvesting cases in recent Texas history.
The charges were brought by Attorney General Ken Paxton after a two-year investigation that uncovered what prosecutors describe as an organized scheme to manipulate mail-in ballots in rural South Texas.
Six of the defendants appeared in person at a Pearsall courtroom on Wednesday, while three others joined remotely through Zoom.
Among those charged is Juan Manuel Medina, the former chairman of the Bexar County Democrat Party. Medina’s attorney filed a motion to dismiss the charges, arguing that the prosecution is politically motivated, but prosecutors maintain that the evidence shows a systematic effort to undermine election integrity.

She knows she is in deep state shit and is putting on a false persona in the event she is indicted.
I hope they are seizing assets of those who ripped off the taxpayers through USAID and NGOs. And, Congressmen who made fortunes under the table.
