Surreal War

grampslcf March 25, 2026 Comments Off

We have just completed the third week of the Iran war. And yes, it is a war not some special military operation. That was the terminology used by Putin to justify his incursion into Ukraine. That SMO is now in its fifth year.

If one were to listen to the Left and their allies in the media, one would believe that the Iran war has been dragging on for a long time. Of course, one would also believe that Iran is winning the war despite the fact that their leadership has been decimated, the various branches of their military have been annihilated and their ability to replace military stores has been seriously degraded.

Somali fraud has temporarily receded from the public consciousness due to the ongoing war in Iran. Estimates range from $9 billion to $19 billion in Minnesota alone. Of course, this is not eh only state where this is taking place. One unusual aspect to the potential fraud situation in Minnesota is Rep. Ilhan Omar and her current husband Tim Mynett. That’s the one that is not her brother.

According to multiple media and government accounts, Iran attempted to bomb the joint U.S-UK base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean with two intermediate-range ballistic missiles. (IRBM). This is significant because previously, many were under the impression that Iran’s limit was around 2,000 km. Diego Garcia is over 4,000 km from the launch point.

The Telegraph reported:

“Neither of the missiles hit their target, with one believed to have been intercepted by a US warship’s SM-3 interceptor and the other failing in flight, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The Democrats have repeatedly voted to block funding for the Department of Homeland Security. Repeatedly has now reached 12 times with Friday’s vote.

American travelers are spending endless hours in security check lines and missing flights because the Democrats are refusing to fund the DHS. And now the Democrats are admitting their refusal to fund the Department of Homeland Security is “making people hurt.”

According to the Democrats they are doing this to end the practice by ICE of deporting violent criminals, rapists, murderers, sex traffickers, etc. And the Democrats say that they are on the right side of history when it comes to ICE.

This is just looney tunes. Where is their leadership on this?

Padilla Confronted

grampslcf March 20, 2026 Comments Off

A few weeks ago, Senator Padilla (D-CA) decided to insert himself into the scheme on behalf of the Democrats and Chuck Schumer who want to derail election integrity. Padilla quoted some statistic that says that election fraud is minute amounting to less than 0.003%. Padilla claimed this showed that the current laws are working and implied that the SAVE Act was not necessary.

Padilla had to ignore the fact that in his home state no checking is done to confirm that a person registering to vote is a resident or a citizen. In fact, no documentation whatsoever is required to register to vote in California. Nick Shirley exposed this recently when he questioned workers and they told them it is their job just to accept whatever form is handed to them. No checking is done.

The SAVE Act

Thomas Sowell, a famous American economist and thinker, once said, “Some things are believed because they are demonstrably true. Bur many other things are believed simply because they have been asserted repeatedly and repetition has been accepted as a substitute for evidence.”

This is where we are in regards to the SAVE Act that is now being debated in Congress. The Democrats have asserted repeatedly that tens of millions of people will be disenfranchised if the legislation passes. This has led otherwise rational people to believe this lie without evidence.

Nick Shirley Strikes Again.

Monday evening, Nick Shirley launched his latest video exposing astronomical fraud in the Golden State, focusing on alleged fake hospices in Los Angeles and fraudulent daycare centers in San Diego.

As noted by Shirley, “Minnesota was big but California is even bigger. We uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences. Like it and share it, the fraud must stop.”

Just how much fraud is there in federal programs that are supposed to help people but have turned into avenues for getting astronomically rich on the taxpayer’s dime? Some estimates at the federal level are predictiing hundreds of billions of dollars when all is said and done. ...

Attacking The 2nd Amendment

The “moderate” Democrats elected during last year’s elections in Virginia have turned into communist-loving politicians. There are many examples of this. One of the more recent efforts on display is trying to turn law-abiding gun owners into criminals.

Ukrainian Money Laundering

sunbeam March 14, 2026 Comments Off

As many people know, Ukraine is one of the most notorious money laundering centers in the world. This was well known long before Russia decided to invade Ukraine. Since the war started, “aid” money sent to Ukraine has often had a significant amount that appeared to be diverted before it could be put to its intended uses.

Was one of these “diversions” stopped in Hungary a few days ago?
