"The American healthcare system is facing an unprecedented crisis in 2026, and the effects are rippling through every corner of society. Millions of families across the country woke up to a shocking reality as enhanced ACA subsidies expired overnight, causing insurance premiums to skyrocket by 100 to 400 percent. What was once an $85 monthly premium has jumped to $750 for some families, while others are seeing their costs double or triple without warning. Even Medicare recipients on fixed incomes are facing 10 percent increases with reduced benefits, creating impossible financial choices for our most vulnerable populations.
The crisis goes far beyond just the sticker shock of rising costs. Patients are discovering that despite paying these astronomical prices, the quality of care they receive continues to decline. Emergency room visits that provide no real solutions are costing thousands of dollars, with some patients receiving bills over $15,000 for basic diagnostic tests that yield no helpful treatment. The disconnect between what people pay and what they receive has reached a breaking point, with many choosing to skip medical care entirely rather than face both financial ruin and medical disappointment.
Healthcare workers are equally frustrated with the deteriorating system. Thousands of nurses across major cities are going on strike, demanding safer staffing ratios and better working conditions. The nursing shortage isn't actually about a lack of qualified professionals, but rather a mass exodus of experienced nurses who refuse to continue working in unsafe, understaffed environments. With 85 percent of bedside nurses reporting depression, anxiety, or PTSD, and one in four planning to leave within two years, the foundation of hospital care is crumbling.
Adding to this perfect storm is the emergence of a severe flu strain spreading rapidly across the nation. With nearly 200,000 cases reported in New York alone and over 4.6 million Americans affected nationwide, hospitals are bracing for potential overwhelming. The timing couldn't be worse, as understaffed medical facilities are already struggling to provide adequate care under normal circumstances.
This healthcare collapse affects everyone, regardless of insurance status or income level. When hospitals can't maintain safe staffing levels, when emergency rooms are overwhelmed, and when basic medical care becomes financially impossible for average families, we all become vulnerable. The system that's supposed to protect our health and wellbeing is pricing itself out of reach while simultaneously reducing the quality of care it provides.
The implications extend beyond individual health outcomes. A collapsing healthcare system threatens economic stability, workforce productivity, and social cohesion. Families are forced to choose between medical care and basic necessities, while healthcare workers abandon their calling due to impossible working conditions. As costs continue rising and quality declines, we're witnessing the real-time breakdown of one of society's most essential services, leaving millions of Americans wondering where they'll turn when they need medical help most."
“This pretty, open cluster of stars, M34, is about the size of the Full Moon on the sky. Easy to appreciate in small telescopes, it lies some 1,800 light-years away in the constellation Perseus. At that distance, M34 physically spans about 15 light-years. Formed at the same time from the same cloud of dust and gas, all the stars of M34 are about 200 million years young.
But like any open star cluster orbiting in the plane of our galaxy, M34 will eventually disperse as it experiences gravitational tides and encounters with the Milky Way's interstellar clouds and other stars. Over four billion years ago, our own Sun was likely formed in a similar open star cluster.”
However detached from the reality of life dreams may seem, they affect our every waking moment and even help us regulate our negative moods. And yet, try as we might to control our dreams,
we still know so very little about where we go when we slip into that
nocturnal wonderland. For all the advances science has made, it still
seems best left to the poets - and the best of poets only.
In one of the many masterpieces in his "Collected Poems" (public library),
Pulitzer-winning poet and MacArthur “genius” Mark Strand (April 11,
1934–November 29, 2014) explores the delicate and disorienting world of
dreams with unparalleled elegance. The poem is a supreme testament to
Strand’s belief that it is the artist’s task to bear witness to the
universe, within and without."
More Than Tripled, And Consumer Bankruptcies Are Soaring"
by Michael Snyder
"I knew that I wasn’t imagining things. There are so many times when I am shopping for groceries that I see a product that seems like it has doubled or tripled in price over the years. I am sure that many of you have experienced the exact same thing. Well, now we have confirmation that we aren’t going crazy. When 24-year-old Zoe Dippel was browsing through old family photo albums, she discovered something incredibly shocking in an envelope…
For Zoe Dippel, a walk down memory lane looking through family photo albums became a quick lesson in inflation. Dippel, a 24-year-old dental hygienist living near Austin, said in an interview with USA TODAY that she was flipping through her sister-in-law’s baby album when an envelope fell out. When Dippel opened the envelope, she found a 1997 receipt for the purchase of 122 products at a grocery store known as H-E-B…
The receipt they found was for a 122-item order at H-E-B, a Texas grocer, from just after her sister-in-law was born. The large order cost $155.34 in 1997. But after Dippel posted video of the find to TikTok, she decided to find out what the same order would cost today. Her two videos about the 1997 receipt have gone viral and have a combined 3.4 million views as of Jan. 16. She found that the same order came out to $504.11 when ordered through H-E-B’s curbside pickup. “It’s just crazy to me,” Dippel said of the price jump."
If you multiply $155.34 by three, you get $466.02. So the fact that those 122 items now cost a total of $504.11 at H-E-B means that the cost of the exact same order has more than tripled. This is what our leaders have done to us.
In 1997, 150 dollars would get you a huge mountain of food. Today, you will be very fortunate if you are able to fill up your cart a third of the way for that much money. The cost of living has become a permanent crisis for the middle class, and one recent survey discovered that 92 percent of employed Americans have been forced to reduce their spending. But even though most of us are trying to cut back, more Americans are being pushed over the edge with each passing day.
In fact, the number of consumer bankruptcy filings increased 12 percent in 2025…"New data shows more Americans are filing for bankruptcy, the latest indication that price pressures and an uneven economy are leaving some households strapped for cash. Total consumer bankruptcy filings jumped 12% from 478,752 in 2024 to 533,949 in 2025, according to Epiq AACER, a platform that provides U.S. bankruptcy filing data. Epiq, which tracks Chapter 7, Chapter 11 and Chapter 13 filings, relies on data provided through the U.S. Courts’ PACER system, an electronic database that houses federal court records." It is now being estimated that one out of ten Americans will file for bankruptcy at least once in their lives.
Foreclosures are spiking too. In 2025, the number of foreclosures was 14 percent higher than the year before…"The past year was difficult for homeowners - but experts warn that 2026 could be even more challenging. Foreclosures - when a bank or lender takes back a home after missed mortgage payments - rose 14 percent from a year earlier. In total, 367,460 US properties faced foreclosure filings in 2025, meaning they were in some stage of being taken over by a lender, according to ATTOM’s data."
All of the numbers that I am sharing with you in this article indicate that the economy is getting worse. As consumer bankruptcies and foreclosures rise, it is putting strain on our banks, and several of our largest banks just reported disappointing results…"This week, the nation’s largest banks reported a broadly disappointing set of quarterly earnings, the first stumble after a yearlong spree of rising markets and softening regulations paid off handsomely for the finance set. Results at Bank of America, Citi, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo all fell short of expectations, and their shares fell. Troubles ranged from delayed merger deals (JPMorgan) to stubborn expenses (Citi) to questions about the efficacy of artificial intelligence tools (Bank of America)."
Unfortunately, it appears that conditions will continue to move in the wrong direction in the months ahead. Mass layoffs are occurring everywhere we look, and they are even happening at some of the biggest names in the entire country…"Meta Inc. is beginning to cut 10% of employees, or more than 1,000 jobs, from its Reality Labs division as it shifts its investment away from metaverse products. “We said last month that we were shifting some of our investment from Metaverse toward Wearables,” a Meta spokesperson told FOX Business, adding that this action is part of that effort."
The reason why Reality Labs is cutting workers is because it is losing gobs of money… "The division includes Meta’s hardware and other futuristic product efforts like VR headsets, AI glasses and virtual world products." However, that division has taken a beating, accumulating more than $70 billion in losses since 2021. Reality Labs faced a $4.4 billion operating loss during the third fiscal quarter alone. I know that Meta has very deep pockets, but at this rate I just don’t see how Reality Labs is going to survive in the long run.
Citigroup is also facing challenges, and they continue to fire workers as they work toward their goal of eliminating 20,000 jobs by the end of this year…"The bank said when announcing the plan that it would eliminate 20,000 jobs by the end of 2026, and it still needs to eliminate several thousand more jobs to reach that target, according to the report. “We will continue to reduce our headcount in 2026,” Citigroup told Bloomberg. “These changes reflect adjustments we’re making to ensure our staffing levels, locations and expertise align with current business needs; efficiencies we have gained through technology; and progress against our transformation work.”
Earlier this month, I published a list of 119 companies that have already announced that they will be conducting layoffs in 2026. A lot of people out there simply do not understand just how serious things have become. Yes, conditions are far from ideal right now. But if we stay on the road that we are on at this moment, conditions will soon get a whole lot worse. For the past couple of decades the U.S. economy has been steadily moving in the wrong direction, and it appears that a tremendous amount of chaos awaits us in the chapters that are ahead."

Baltimore, Maryland - "Having despaired at trying to figure out what Mr. Trump is...we look at what he is not in order to see what is not coming. We’ve tried several labels for Donald Trump. The only one that seemed to stick was ‘capitalist,’ but of an antique variety...relatively rare in today’s world.
A real, modern capitalist uses savings to provide a product or a service that is worth more than the labor and materials (the capital) that went into it. Thus, he ends up with more capital...and the world is a richer place. Win…win.
This is the process that Adam Smith described in the "Wealth of Nations." The capitalist seeks to make money for himself, but he does so by making things better for others. This is also at the heart of modern - New Testament era - morality in which we are taught to ‘do unto others as we would have them do unto us.’ We want others to give us soup and shelter; we need to figure out what we can give in exchange. That is the only ‘equality’ that societies can actually provide — an equal and smiling respect for the ‘golden rule’ that benefits everyone.
Industrial economies, beginning in the 19th century, made these free exchanges possible on a vast scale. And in the rough and tumble of turn-of-the-century (1900) industry...people, in the aggregate, prospered. The Titans of industry, however, became fabulously wealthy. Those titans - Ford, Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, et al - got rich by providing lots of autos, fuel, transportation and so forth.
Then, along came John Maynard Keynes. In his "Treatise on Money 1930", he made the startling claim that money was not an innocent bystander. Eerily prescient, but staggeringly off base, he claimed that rich people preferred to hoard their wealth in the financial economy, rather than spend it or invest it in the industrial economy, leading to depression and unemployment.
Saving has always been suspect. Scrooge saved his money. Jesus tells of a master, who berated his servant, for saving his money rather than investing it. And King Midas, turning everything into gold, starved to death.
This ancient prejudice helped to justify the 1971 sleight of hand that switched real money with ‘paper’ money. The post-1971 dollar solves Keynes’ problem. There is no ‘liquidity preference’ for this new money. Just the opposite. There’s an illiquidity preference, a desire to get rid of it before it loses value.
Broad US Money Supply (M2) since 1971.
The old money was ‘slow’ money. It took time to earn it...forbearance to save it...care and study to invest it...and often decades for it to pay off. But this new money was ‘fast’ money. It could be created in seconds...and then used in a speculation that might pay off in hours...days...or weeks. Its titans were from Wall Street, not Detroit or Gary, Indiana. They did not necessarily add to the world’s wealth. Part of the ‘bubble economy,’ not the industrial economy, they were money manipulators...leveraged speculators…and the Donald J. Trumps. Even Warren Buffett, who invests in the ‘industrial’ economy, owes much of his fortune to the bubble money that drove up prices for the last 43 years.
The available money supply is a combination of the quantity of it, along with the speed by which it changes hands. That was Keynes’s complaint against gold; people tended to hold it too long, he said. Not so this new money. The faster it changes hands, the faster each unit goes down in value.
Up until now, the ‘debasement’ of the dollar - the loss of value caused by increases in the available money supply - has been shared with much of the world. Other countries use the dollar as a reserve currency, saving it (and thus off-setting the worst effects of over-supply.)
As Putin observes, the ‘huge mistake’ of Team Trump was to upset this happy hustle by using the paper dollar, not only to cover its excess spending, but also to force other nations to do its bidding. The US must now enforce its ‘exorbitant privilege’ - the ability to ‘print’ money and export the inevitable inflation - with kidnappings, murder and war.
Have you connected the dots, dear reader? Not many leaders would have made the ‘huge mistake.’ Even fewer would be willing to go to war to try to head off its consequences. But Donald Trump is a creature of this new post-1971 dollar system. And now he is its number one protector. So, what is it that he absolutely, positively cannot do? "Stay tuned.
"In the most devastating blow yet to California's innovation economy, Apple Inc. announced plans to relocate its corporate headquarters from Cupertino to Austin, Texas over the next seven years - ending nearly five decades of California-based leadership. The move affects 36,000 employees and eliminates $8.7 billion in annual economic activity from the state that created Silicon Valley. The company founded in a Los Altos garage by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak is abandoning California for three converging reasons: California's 11.3% tax rate versus Texas's 0% corporate income tax saves Apple $2.1 billion annually. Commercial property costs of $1,340 per square foot in Santa Clara County versus $420 in Austin reduce expenses by $890 million yearly. And Texas's $750 million incentive package dwarfed California's $140 million counteroffer.
This came just 24 months after Apple opened Apple Park's Phase II - a $1.2 billion expansion. Governor Newsom called it "an unthinkable betrayal of California and everything Silicon Valley represents." But the economics are brutal: the tax savings alone justify relocation. When the company most synonymous with California innovation - the creator of the iPhone, the symbol of Silicon Valley's dominance - concludes the state is too expensive for its future, what does that mean for California's technology economy? Apple isn't just leaving. It's taking Silicon Valley's identity with it."

"Don’t be too surprised if sometime later this day, Friday, the president invokes the Insurrection Act to tranquilize the city of Minneapolis, since aerial spraying of Olanzapine is probably out of the question. Where, oh where, are the mythologized “nice,” and “above-average” people of Minnesota, once praised in song and sketch on those long-ago Saturday nights of The Prairie Home Companion?
They have been replaced by a mutant army of psychotic Transtifa wendigos on the payroll of Arabella Advisors (now operating as Sunflower Services), or the Tides Foundation, or some other Soros-connected money-laundry. And many have come from other states, possibly even other nations (or planets), to join the Cluster-B viragos native to the city in the crusade to defend “Joe Biden’s” legion of illegally imported Democratic Party voters.
This acute agitation in the streets against federal officers is obviously and brazenly abetted by those in charge: Governor Tim Walz, Mayor Jacob Frey, and Attorney General Keith Ellison. Walz is a huckleberry for the ages. Did you catch his smarmy sob-story act the day before yesterday, weeping for his “communities” and “neighbors-of-color,” “who continue to stand up for freedom with empathy, blah blah.” Who does this fraudster think he is kidding with his act?
Perhaps the erstwhile normies of his own sadly-deranged state, those Norwegian bachelor farmers, red-cheeked farm girls, and spelling bee champs of the Great Plains, sulking in a state of permanent cringe out in St. Cloud, Red Lake, and Sleepy Eye. It’s a wonder that these folks didn’t form a mob of their own and converge on the Governor’s mansion in St. Paul with pitchforks, torches, and thirty-odd feet of good organic sisal rope. Apparently, they are overwhelmed by the programmed mischief underway. Minneapolis has transformed itself into something unrecognizable, Somalia-on-the-Mississippi, a place not worthy of their affection or worth defending.
So, it will be up to Mr. Trump to put an end to this effrontery. And let’s hope that includes federal marshals coming to arrest and remove Messrs. Walz, Frey, and Ellison, pending some due process to determine their deliberate malfeasance in this massive obstruction of justice. Then imagine the squealing of Hakim Jeffries and Empathy Champeen of the World Chuck Schumer: “Our Democracy! Our Democracy!” Not to put too fine a point on it, but f*ck you, Hakim and Chuck, and the donkeys you rode in on. The non-psychotic citizens of this land have had enough fakery and enough of your party’s treasonous, violent revolt in the defense of fakery.
Their “democracy” is nothing more than a gigantic engine of grift, meticulously assembled over the decades in Minnesota (and, you can be sure, all over the rest of the USA), and now it has been found out. The accountants are coming for accountability. They’re going to discover exactly how it was assembled and who assembled it, and how the taxpayers’ money flowed in around and through this infernal machine and a lot of people will be going to jail. Your empathy ghost-dances will not avail to stop it.
And, by the way, this accounting will happen whether or not Mr. Trump actually invokes the Insurrection Act. After a mild Friday, next week’s temperatures in the Twin Cities are due to plunge into the single digits and below, and stay down there for the rest of month - a likely discouragement to the paid rioters. Will the Soros network just buy them all plane tickets for more temperate parts of the country and open up a new front of agitation? I’d bet on that. In fact, I’d specify Portland, OR, and Seattle, where the game-board is still out like a welcome mat, and the local cops are all trained-up to stand by and do nothing, and the vacant store-fronts are stocked with snacks and water bottles for the useful mentally ill. Let the games resume there! The elected officials of those cities and states could stand a little jail time, too, as a “learing” experience, you gotta think.
In the meantime, prepare for more startling global developments, including the collapse of the mullah’s regime in Iran. Despite the bluster emanating from Teheran, that country is at the mercy of forces greater than just folks yelling in the streets. They are running out of water and their money, the Rial, has run out of purchasing mojo. Iran’s economy has tanked. Everybody there knows it’s the result of nearly fifty years of gross mismanagement. Try governing a country with no economy. Mr. Trump’s military will probably not have to lift a finger. And, then, perhaps astounding changes follow.
Like, for instance, Iran’s oil goes offline for China, just as Venezuela’s oil did a week or so ago. Money stops flowing to Jihadis around the world. Let the Persians be Persians again. Deep reverberations anon... Ukraine... Greenland..."

"Scott Adams shuffled off this mortal coil this week, and that event got me thinking about the big D: death. Adams, the Dilbert author who turned office satire into a cultural touchstone for nerds like me, left me thinking about his legacy. Adams wasn’t just a cartoonist; he was a man who rewired how we see persuasion, hypnosis, and the Clown World® we call reality. His passing was foreshadowed, but when it happens, the inevitability of it doesn’t make it better.
That’s Adams, who has left us, but there’s a contrast in George R.R. Martin, still kicking (for now). Today (my today, not yours) I read an interview where he whined at a fan who had asked if he was going to finish his Song of Fire and Ice series (Game of Thrones to most people) before he died. To his face. Martin griped about this confrontation. “I’m not dying,” he grumbled, as if that’s the point.
George, buddy, hate to break it to you and subvert your expectations, but you are. So am I. So is everyone reading this post. We’re all dying, right this second. Tick-tock, the clock doesn’t care if you’re an author with $120 million in the bank lounging in Santa Fe while some flunkies sand off your bunions with sandpaper made from diamonds or a blogger hammering keys in the Midwest who ran out of beer last weekend. Every breath is one closer to the last.
We have an end date stamped on us like milk, but the Universe keeps the label hidden. Could be tomorrow in a freak duck attack (hey, it happens), or decades from now after a life of quiet desperation that had no more impact on the world than a potted fern. The point? We’re terminal from day zero. I think Adams knew this; he talked about it in his books, framing life as a series of systems to hack for maximum output.
Martin? He’s procrastinating his way through what could be his magnum opus, letting plot threads dangle like cat toys. Ignoring the reaper doesn’t make him go away, it just wastes the sand in my hourglass.
In our rush to the grave, have we forgotten the miracles? Yes, miracles. Not the flashy water-to-wine kind. I’m not good at those. But what about the everyday wonders that make existence sparkle? Bite into a ripe strawberry straight from the plant. The explosion of sweet yet tart on my tongue? Phenomenal.
Or cracking a cold beer after mowing the lawn on a scorching day, sweat dripping, the pilsner hitting like a high-five from my guardian angel. Crisp linens on a freshly made bed, sliding in like you’re royalty in a five-star hotel are another feast for the senses.
These aren’t mundane bits of life: they’re tiny miracles, proof the universe isn’t all entropy, Indians, Somalians, and taxes. We take these amazing things for granted, missing the point. We get one shot on this merry-go round. Enjoy it.
Even I, the mighty John Wilder sometimes get bogged down in the daily grind. Bills, deadlines, that endless loop of work-eat-write-drink-sleep-shower-rinse-repeat. It’s easy to zombie through days, forgetting the biggest miracle and gift of all: being alive. Heart pumping, lungs filling, neurons firing symphonies in my skull. We’re stardust animated by the Great Cosmic Spark, yet we whine about traffic or the price of eggs.
Adams would call this a bad frame. Zoom out. Reframe. Boom. The mundane becomes amazing magic. Martin’s dragons and ice zombies are cool (I mean the first three seasons with all the hot naked chicks), but they are pale imitations next to the real epic: Life, unfolding heartbeat by heartbeat.
Here’s the kicker: we have a choice. Every. Single. Day. That next moment? It’s yours. Infinite power in that moment. No matter if you’re chained to a desk, stuck in traffic, or lounging on a yacht (I see you, Elon), that sliver of time belongs to you. You get to choose to squander it on despair, or seize it like a Spartan grabbing a Persian neck at Thermopylae.
Adams seized life. He didn’t just draw funny strips; he changed the United States. He changed the entire national conversation on politics, race, and the matrix of media manipulation. Some X™ dweeb (responding to me) called him a victim of the woke mob after his cancellation. Victim? Please. Adams knew the game. He poked the bear on purpose, shifting Overton windows at scale.
Martin? He’s the flip side. He hit the jackpot with Thrones, turned his fantasy story into a cultural juggernaut, then found himself unable to stick the landing. Hell, he hasn’t even landed, and almost certainly never will now. It’s way more than a decade and his books are not only unfinished, they will never be finished by him. His writing chops are leagues above mine (I’ll admit it), but finishing an epic like that?
Nah. He’s got time left, but he’s squandering it on forgettable side quests while the sand runs out on the hourglass? That’s the opposite of Adams’ hustle. One built empires of influence; the other built a throne of delays.
There’s hope, though. If you want to change the Universe, it’s likely that you still can. You think, “I don’t have an audience.” True, but Adams started with zero. Sketched in a cubicle, built it strip by strip. Me? I peck away at the laptop, hoping to nudge minds.
Tomorrow, what can you do? Write that book. Start that business. Mentor a kid. Plant a tree. Convince an Indian to move back to Mumbai. Make the most of every second. Death’s coming, but until then? Make it matter.Adams left a blueprint: hack reality, persuade boldly, point out and mock the absurd. Martin’s a cautionary tale: don’t let potential rot. Me? I’m typing this, hoping it sparks something in you. The clock ticks for us all. Use it wisely. You’ve got one life. Make it matter."

They Built As The System Forgets About Its Elderly"
"Because the cost of living is continuously going up, a lot of seniors who are on fixed incomes are really struggling right now. Social Security is not keeping up with inflation and for many elderly, they can be just one rent increase or one medical bill away from losing everything. In this video I'm sharing some of what people are going through, seniors working into their 70s and 80s, people camping overnight just to get healthcare, folks being pushed out of their homes. It's really unfortunate and it really breaks my heart to see. If you have any suggestions or anything you'd like to share with others, please share down below. I know there are a lot of people that would love to read through the comments and maybe get some encouragement."
A Comment: 700,000 Americans homeless, including 60,000 Veterans, 22 who commit suicide every single day; 26% true unemployment rate, along with millions of layoff and no jobs; corporate and personal bankruptcies explode; true inflation 16% as the prices of literally everything skyrocket - food, rent, insurance, health care, gas prices out of control. But we gave $359 billion to Ukraine; Dept. Of War 2026 budget $901 billion, 2027 budget $1.5 TRILLION; $35 billion to the genocidally psychopathic Israelis in the last 2 years, and on and on.

"Renowned Attorney Larry Klayman, founder of Judicial Watch and later Freedom Watch USA, has long predicted (along with other top intel experts) increasing violence from the Left in a Marxist style Bolshevik Revolution. As money is cut off by the Trump Administration and legal pressure mounts for prosecuting Democrats for everything from fraud to sedition, you can expect the Left to dramatically increase the violence to try to destabilize America. Klayman explains, “Here’s what’s going to happen. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Noem has a death warrant on her. They are chanting ‘kill Kristi Noem.’ It’s going to get more and more violent. The more they are checked legally, the more set back on their heels legally, the more violent they become, that is why the American people need to arm up. They need to be prepared. Don’t use weapons offensively, but defensively. The Left is coming for us. It’s going to get extremely violent. That is their intention. That is their desire, and that is what’s going to happen.”
What got the Left to increase the violence? Klayman says, “I believe the trigger was Venezuela a week or so ago. We knew that was going to have a ripple effect, and it means business. The President has cut off money, not just to Cuba, Iran and China with regard to oil revenues, but it shows his strength of resolve, and they frankly freak out over that. Then there are the ICE activities in Minnesota, which is one of the most corrupt and left-leaning states in this country. The Left is panicking, and they were always going to go to violence. That is their modus operandi. That is the Bolshevik way of doing things. That’s Karl Marx, and the way the Soviet Union was brought down by the communists. These people are communists. They are Islamists. There are good Muslims, but these are not those. They are united in the form of Ilhan Omar, Tim Walz and that crazy mayor Jacob Frey. They are using Minnesota as ground zero to do this.”
Other big legal news is a grand jury empaneled in Florida, which is going to look into partisan investigations on President Trump, including an FBI raid of his home at Mar-a-Lago in 2022. Klayman says, “We do have a grand jury in Fort Pierce, Florida, which is the same district where I practice, and it is also the same district where Judge Aileen Cannon is. She is probably the one who empaneled this grand jury. She found President Trump did not commit any violations with regard to the documents found at Mar-a-Lago. There is a reason why it was filed in Fort Pierce.”
Klayman says some Republicans in Congress are not totally committed to stopping the fraud and crime of the Left. Klayman points out, “Congresswoman Nancy Mace went to the oversight committee and asked for a subpoena to be issued for Ilhan Omar with regard to marrying her brother, with regard to tax fraud and all kinds of illegal acts. Congressmen James Comer and Jim Jordan denied the request of Mace. That is unbelievable!” There is much more in the 42-minute interview.
“What makes this spiral galaxy so long? Measuring over 700,000 light years across from top to bottom, NGC 6872, also known as the Condor galaxy, is one of the most elongated barred spiral galaxies known.
The galaxy's protracted shape likely results from its continuing collision with the smaller galaxy IC 4970, visible just above center. Of particular interest is NGC 6872's spiral arm on the upper left, as pictured here, which exhibits an unusually high amount of blue star forming regions. The light we see today left these colliding giants before the days of the dinosaurs, about 300 million years ago. NGC 6872 is visible with a small telescope toward the constellation of the Peacock (Pavo).”
