• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

The same People who are yelling ā€œNO KINGS!ā€ and ā€œTrump is a dictator!ā€
are now shouting, ā€œWhy won’t Trump act like a king and fund SNAP himself!?ā€
Let’s slow this down and talk like we’re all 10, because this is getting wild.
šŸæ

🟢
First: The President Doesn’t Control the Money.
Congress does.
That’s literally their job.
It’s in the Constitution.
They hold ā€œthe power of the purse.ā€
Think of it like this:
The President is the head coach.
🧢

But only the School Board (aka Congress) can approve the budget for snacks.
šŸŽ

Even if the coach really wants to feed the team
he still needs the board to say YES.
🟔
Second: SNAP (aka food stamps) needs funding from Congress.
Yes, SNAP is a mandatory program…
But the people who run it… like the USDA …still need funding to actually make it work.
Right now, we’re in a government shutdown because Congress can’t agree on a budget.
That includes the money that helps run SNAP.
So what about ā€œemergency fundsā€?
Well…
šŸ”“
Third: Two courts gave different answers.
• One court said, ā€œYep, you can use the emergency funds for now.ā€
• Another court said, ā€œHold on, not so fast.ā€
That’s why the government lawyers are still sorting it out..
Because no one wants to break the law and make it worse.
Meanwhile, Trump is following the rules.
He legally can’t just override Congress and swipe the emergency credit card…
You know.. Like a king would
šŸ˜‰

🧠
So let’s go back to the beginning…
You yelled ā€œNO KINGS!ā€
You said, ā€œPresidents aren’t dictators!ā€
You demanded that Trump stay in his lane and not do things without Congress..
But now?
You’re mad that he won’t act like the king you protested against?
Make it make sense.
🧭
Here’s the truth:
• We have laws for a reason.
• Trump can’t fund SNAP on his own.
• Congress has to pass a funding bill.
• The courts are still ruling on emergency spending.
• And you can’t scream ā€œdictator!ā€ one day and ā€œwhere’s my king?!ā€ the next.
This is what a constitutional republic looks like.
It’s messy.
It’s slow.
But it works when people understand how it works.
So no, Trump isn’t starving Americans.
He’s respecting the law.
That’s what leaders do.
Now maybe it’s time Congress did their job too

And there is a Sikh mayor of Cincinnati. Hopefully that will be rectified on Tuesday.
The Downtown Cincinnati Brawl Controversy Involving Mayor Aftab Pureval


A few months ago—specifically in late July and August 2025—a major controversy erupted in Cincinnati centered on a violent brawl during the Cincinnati Music Festival (July 25-27, 2025), which went viral via social media videos. The incident involved a large street fight in downtown Cincinnati on July 26, with multiple participants, including a white man who was both a victim (beaten by a group) and an aggressor (seen slapping others). This led to widespread public outrage over public safety, racial tensions, and the city’s response, drawing national attention. Mayor Aftab Pureval faced intense criticism for his handling of the aftermath, which unfolded as follows:


Key Elements of the Incident and Fallout


  • The Brawl: Videos captured chaotic violence amid festival crowds, showing assaults, including the aforementioned man being pummeled after initiating physical contact. Eight people were eventually arrested, but initial delays in arrests fueled accusations of inaction. The event highlighted broader concerns about rising crime in downtown areas during large gatherings.
  • Mayor’s Vacation and Delayed Response: Pureval was on a pre-planned family vacation in Vancouver, British Columbia, when the videos surfaced on July 26. He cut the trip short and returned on July 30, but critics (including police unions and local media) blasted him for not addressing it sooner, with headlines like ā€œWhere’s Aftab Pureval?ā€ amplifying perceptions of absentee leadership. Pureval stated he learned of the fight before leaving but prioritized family time initially, later holding a press conference on August 1 to condemn the violence.
  • Charging Decisions and Racial Backlash: The city charged the white victim/aggressor with misdemeanor disorderly conduct, a move seen by some as politically motivated to appear ā€œfairā€ amid racial dynamics (the attackers were Black). Local Black leaders demanded full prosecutions for all involved, while others accused the administration of leniency toward certain groups. Pureval emphasized accountability for everyone, saying, ā€œUntil everyone is held accountable, we haven’t served justice.ā€
  • Police Union Backlash: On August 26, the Cincinnati Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) unanimously voted ā€œno confidenceā€ in Pureval, citing his ā€œinability to address critical issuesā€ and alleged pressure on the city solicitor to pursue the charges against the victim. Union president Jamie Kober criticized the slow response to the brawl and broader crime trends.

Broader Context and Resolution


The controversy tied into ongoing debates about crime reduction strategies, with Pureval defending his administration’s collaborative approach while facing calls for tougher enforcement. It simmered into fall 2025, intersecting with his reelection campaign (election on November 4, 2025), where challenger Cory Bowman leveraged voter frustration over safety. By October, related issues—like the administrative leave of Police Chief Teresa Theetge (accused of leadership failures, possibly linked to the brawl response)—emerged, but Pureval denied political motives, stating the process would take months.


Public discourse on X (formerly Twitter) amplified the story, with posts like one from August 3 decrying Pureval’s response to ā€œvictims of brutal attacksā€ during the festival chaos. Overall, the episode damaged Pureval’s image temporarily but hasn’t derailed his incumbency advantage in polls.

When Compassion Became Control — and Control Forged the Chains
āš”ļø
They built their power on compassion… then sold it for control.
But the light doesn’t ask permission to shine.
It just breaks through the chains.

People keep asking me, ā€œMichael… how did we get here?
How did we become such a powerful nation while getting so many people hooked on dependency?ā€
It didn’t begin with greed.
It began with compassion.
ļæ¼But remember, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
ļæ¼
In this case the road to hell had three paths.

In the depths of the Great Depression, people were starving. Families lost everything.
Government assistance wasn’t evil — it was essential.
It stabilized the nation. It gave hope when there was none. It helped America rebuild.
Those programs were meant to be a bridge back to independence, not a permanent way of life.
But once the crisis ended — the power stayed.

Politicians discovered something dangerous: dependency buys loyalty.
If you can convince a man that his survival depends on you, he’ll defend you even as you destroy him.
So both parties kept feeding the illusion.
Democrats called it compassion.
Republicans called it compromise.
And behind closed doors, they both called it control.
They realized it was safer to manage decline than to demand responsibility.
Hence our massive national debt — because instead of facing the truth and making hard choices, they kept borrowing money to buy peace, pretending the bill would never come due — at least not while they were still in office.
With their ultimate goal of managing the decline just long enough to retire, they passed the problem forward.
Then, with straight faces and polished speeches, they’d kick back and blame the next generation of leaders for ā€œdestroyingā€ the falsely amazing economy they had built on debt and illusion.
They outsourced our jobs, weakened our independence, and then offered sympathy for the pain they created — paid for with our own tax dollars.

Once dependency took root, it became inherited.
Passed down like a family heirloom — not of pride, but of fear.
And by the time anyone in Washington realized what had happened, it was already too late.
Even the honest ones — the few with vision and courage — learned quickly that you can’t reform a system that feeds the voters who keep you in power.
To fix it would mean cutting off the very hand that feeds your reelection.
And so the cycle continued… until a man came along who didn’t need their approval.
āø»
Donald Trump didn’t serve the system. He challenged it.
He didn’t need their donations. He didn’t fear their threats.
He was willing to lose everything to tell the truth.
That’s why politicians fear him — because if he succeeds, it exposes them all.
It reveals the truth about every politician who made government a career instead of a calling.
He threatens the very existence of those who climb into power not to serve, but to stay there.
Those who are dependent on the system hate him for another reason — the same way a spoiled child hates the parent who finally takes away the allowance for not doing the chores.
They mistake discipline for cruelty, and freedom for loss.
And the wealthy liberal elite despise him most of all — because when you’re born with a silver spoon, you build a holier-than-thou illusion that you’re more enlightened than the people who actually built the world you live in.
Trump shatters that illusion — he reminds them that success doesn’t make you divine, it simply reveals who you serve.
āø»
That’s why he’s hated.
Not because he lies — but because he tells the truth that everyone else avoids.
This isn’t about politics anymore.
It’s about breaking the spell of dependency and restoring the spirit of self-reliance and honor that once defined the American soul.

MSNBC paid hundreds of thousands of dollars through a NGO founded by Al Sharpton

Just 2 weeks later, Al Sharpton then interviewed Kamala Harris on MSNBC giving her a ā€œglowingā€ interview drawing parallels to her and civil rights icons

Neither disclosed payment. Mainstream Media is pure paid propaganda

Megyn Kelly ā€œMSNBC's going to have to respond. You cannot make a donation to an anchor's charity on the side of $500,000 as a presidential candidate and then go sit with the anchor and he didn't disclose it. This is not a news organization but they continue to masquerade as one.ā€

Harris’s campaign made two payments totaling $500,000 to the National Action Network (NAN), the civil rights nonprofit founded by Sharpton in 1991. The first $250,000 check was cut on September 5, 2024, and the second on October 1, 2024

Just 19 days after the second donation, on October 20, 2024—two weeks before Election Day—Sharpton interviewed Harris on his MSNBC show, PoliticsNation. The sit-down was described as ā€œglowingā€ and ā€œfawningā€ by critics. Sharpton praised Harris’s candidacy as ā€œextraordinarily historic,ā€ drawing parallels to civil rights icons

Here is the email they are all panicking about, the one John Brennan got really upset over.

It proves Brennan, Clapper and Comey conspired to delegitimize President-elect Trump as part of the Hillary-Soros-Obama plan to tie Donald Trump to Russian intelligence.

On December 22, 2016, Mike Rogers expressed his concerns to Clapper, Brennan, Comey about having to sign off on the ICA.

CLAPPER: Understand your concern. It is essential that we (CIA/NSA/FBI/ODNI) be on the same page, and are all supportive of the report in the highest tradition of ā€œthat's OUR story, and we're stickin' to it."

This evening, CIA has provided to the NIC the complete draft generated by the ad hoc fusion cell. We will facilitate as much mutual transparency as possible as we complete the report, but, more time is not negotiable. We may have to compromise on our "normal" modalities, since we must do this on such a compressed schedule.

This is one project that has to be a team sport.
 


NEW SCANDAL: a source confirms Delta's takeover by incompetent Indians on visas as well as in India itself and how this is making Delta unsafe to fly.They describe the situation in Delta's IT department as "absolutely insane" for Americans due to the Indians having "4th grade-level pidgin English" and no ability to multitask. They also say that the bulk of Indians at Delta are at their offshored Bangalore facility, provided by Mindtree Ltd., and "[w]hen an airline has a ground stop for all aircraft for an IT glitch…I know exactly why.
 

I have some conflicting thoughts on what’s happening now within MAGA but I can unequivocally state that I am firmly on the opposite side of whatever NRO, the Dispatch, the WSJ, David French, John Podhoretz, and Jonah Goldberg are selling.

They’ve been trying to destroy the president and his movement for a decade using the most hateful, dishonest, and race-baiting language to do so. Luckily they have failed but they’re paid to keep trying. Their entire existence depends on it.

Remember how Goldberg and Steve Hayes ā€œquitā€ Fox News allegedly in protest of Tucker’s spot on assessment of Jan 6 being used to ā€œpurgeā€ Trump supporters? Tucker was right, they were wrong—and not only that, they cheered the Biden regime’s abusive unconstitutional tactics in the process. (Also turns out they were fired by Fox).

It was just one example of Tucker being way ahead of those grifting losers.

When terrible people with proven track records of attempted sabotage of the president and our movement—and who are not and never have been MAGA—call someone else terrible and demand reprisals against that individual, I know where I stand.

As far away from them as possible

Don't fly Delta unless absolutely necessary.
