CITIZEN OPEN THREAD.
Excellent video on National Debt from Congressman Schweikert
NOTE FROM KANE
As long as the headlines can be seen, green and red showing up as black for example, that’s fine.
I thought they couldn’t be seen at all for colorblind readers — invisible headlines.
So I’m not worried about it now. Thanks for all the feedback below.
Carry on, CFP Nation.
Good Morning CFP Family
How Google Is Fighting To End Text Message Scams | Yoni Heisler, Nov. 12, 2025
“Bad actors built Lighthouse as a phishing-as-a-service kit to generate and deploy massive SMS phishing attacks,” Google notes. “These attacks exploit established brands like E-Z Pass to steal people’s financial information.”

Jan 6er Dan Wilson Pardoned by President Trump Is Free At Last
President Trump pardoned Jan 6er Dan Wilson.
Once forgotten, now he is forgiven.
Dan Wilson is a Jan 6er targeted by corrupt actors in this government more than once.
Wilson was placed back in prison by a corrupt judge after being pardoned by President Trump. After months of calls and efforts by many people, Wilson is a free man today.
Praise God!
Awfully quiet here today….…..

Good evening MI Girl.
Hi NJC
This sweet post is not written by me and Meridith is not my babydoll. But it hits home for anyone that has lost their pet.
Pets are truly a gift from God.
Love that so so much
That postman deserves a HUGE tip at Christmas.
What a sweet and special person the letter writer is. To take the time for a little girl who’s missing her dog. Restores my faith in humanity.
Leaked memo and now denial.
“Chinese tech giant Alibaba has denied helping Beijing target the United States, saying Saturday that a recent media report was “completely false.”
The Financial Times reported early Saturday that Alibaba “provides tech support for Chinese military ‘operations’ against (U.S.) targets,” according to a White House memo provided to the newspaper.”

Good morning CFP ☕️ Back to New Mexico today. Hope the weather cooperates. Lots of rain in California. At least the shutdown is “over”.
Safe travels friend! I’d wish away the rain but we need it desparetly. xo
You sure do !!
Hoping this an easy trip back!
RE: Key Takeaway from the Government Shutdown
Republicans stay United. United We Stand. It is clear the Dem’s folded because they are divided by the Bernie Boy fringe Marxist : aka antifa.
Please, don’t let the left divide M.A.G.A with their constant second guessing of common sense government reform. When in doubt, research our Founding Fathers, because there is a reason the British colonies became this Great National called The United States. It was their undying faith in our CREATOR, thank you.
M.A.G.A. Forever.
P.S. Ole Pinhead the Cat sends his Caturday greetings, I join him with Love.
Happy Caturday, AHR.
Happy Caturday to you & Pinhead. 🐈

Amazing stat: Only half the homes in America have cable TV anymore
Fifteen years ago, nearly 9 in 10 US households had a pay TV subscription. By the end of 2025, that number will be down to five out of 10. It also has implications for advertisers, who stuck with TV for a long time, even when it became clear it was in decline, because that was a tried-and-true way of reaching a lot of people. No longer.
https://www.businessinsider.com/cable-tv-household-50-percent-decline-brian-wieser-2025-11
I have to admit we are in the half that still has. Streaming is a pain in the ass because we both like to flip stations back and forth, and sports streaming options are expensive to get what we want. I want to flop down on the sofa and flip around and thru the channels easily. Its hardly more expensive than a few streaming options for us
I’m right there with you MI girl. All of my kids do the streaming routine but the wife and I still have a plan. Although I must say they are trying very hard to price us out of it.
We “cut the cord” almost twenty years ago… ‘-)
Its ambassador said the prime minister’s head should be severed. So now? ‘The Party’ throws a tantrum.

WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Wesley Hunt, R-Houston, plans to introduce legislation Wednesday that would repeal a host of gun-related provisions in the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, enacted in the wake of the 2022 school shooting in Uvalde.
U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, crafted the bipartisan law amid an intense public outcry for action after the mass shooting that claimed the lives of 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde. His role in pushing the legislation drew criticism from some gun rights groups and he was booed at the state GOP convention that summer.
Hunt’s bill also would repeal provisions in the new law related to data collection and federal funding that goes to states implementing red flag laws. “The Second Amendment Restoration Act reverses the dangerous provisions of the so-called Safer Communities Act, which pushed red flag laws on Texans and funded their expansion nationwide,” Hunt said in his statement.
[I support this bill, but I’d vote for Ken Paxton before Wesley Hunt…’-]
Flyin’, I am a Paxton fan as well. Cornyn is a Rino- lots of folks are weary of him.
WASHINGTON – Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) announced that the agreement to reopen the federal government includes his measure protecting veterans’ Second Amendment rights. The deal involves three appropriation packages and funds other government agencies at previously agreed-upon levels through January 30, 2026.
In reopening the government, Kennedy also secured a major win for veterans’ Second Amendment rights. The newly passed Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Veterans and Military Construction Appropriations bill extends a provision Kennedy first passed in 2024, preventing veterans from losing their right to bear arms when they receive help managing their Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits.
Before Kennedy’s measure became law in 2024, the VA sent veterans’ names to the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) whenever a fiduciary was appointed to help them manage their VA benefits. Placement on the NICS blocks veterans from purchasing or owning firearms.
The extension of Kennedy’s legislation ensures that unelected VA bureaucrats cannot deprive a veteran of their Second Amendment rights without a court ruling.

“President Trump breaks up with Marjorie Taylor.”
MTG got Trump mad because she wouldn’t shut up about the Epstein files.
https://x.com/RepMTG/status/1989518703507963940
And now all the emails are released – right?
Ever notice that the Dem’s keep the Epstein story in their back pocket, as a diversion tactic, but never do anything about it, much the same as a lion with no teeth or claws ?
Whenever I hear of Democrats and their diversion tactics, my first go to is Hillary Clintons’s senior thesis on Saul Alinsky , ‘” There is only the Fight… ‘” an analysis of the Alinsky method. ‘” 1969.
Compare / Contrast :
Students for a Democratic Society / with and against / Turning Point USA.
Very similar objectives, government reform, bipolar tactics, one, the left seeks power from without the framework of traditional Constitutional theory/ while the other, The Right, chooses to work from within the established Authority of the Constitution of the States.
Yep.
