ChiCom funded dam. Ethiopia will be ankle-grabbing for a while.

“In September, Trump acknowledged the issue at an American Cornerstone Institute dinner in Virginia.

“They built a little dam in Ethiopia that’s like the largest dam in the world. And it affects the water going to the Nile. Would you say that’s a problem? I would say that’s a big problem,” Trump said.”

ChiComs are again sending mysterious seed packages––to Texas and some other states

https://texasagriculture.gov/News-Events/Article/10730/Commissioner-Miller-Warns-Texas-as-China-Mystery-Seed-Package-Deliveries-Contin

“Since February 2025, TDA has collected seed deliveries at 109 locations across the Lone Star State, totaling 1,101 packs of unsolicited seeds. While small in appearance, these packages represent a serious and ongoing threat to the nation’s agricultural biosecurity.”

No new protests in Iran as cleric threatens Trump and calls for execution of protesters (note to Trump do not promise help is on the way then not deliver it! Not just a bad look it is the same as not backing up the red line statement right or wrong once you say it back it up! My two cents worth and I don’t want any new wars but back it up people died believing we would help)

Fifth Circuit Upholds Post-1986 Machine Gun Ban| Ammoland Inc. | John Crump, Jan 16, 2026
On Tuesday, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reaffirmed the constitutionality of the federal prohibition on private possession of machine guns, rejecting a direct challenge to 18 U.S.C. § 922(o) in a case involving a shooting involving a handgun modified by a machine gun conversion device (MCD).

In United States v. Jamaion Wilson, a unanimous panel led by Judge Don R. Willett affirmed Wilson’s conviction for unlawful possession of a machine gun, holding that such weapons remain outside the protection of the Second Amendment. The court said the decision reinforces longstanding circuit precedent and resists calls to reconsider it in light of evolving firearm technology or the Supreme Court’s 2022 ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen.

Florida House Wastes Little Time Repealing Parkland-Era Gun Control Law | Cam Edwards, Jan 16, 2026
It didn’t take long for the Florida House to approve a bill that would allow adults 18 and older to once again purchase long guns in the state, undoing a measure adopted after the Parkland shootings in 2018 that raised the age to purchase a firearm to 21. The 2026 session kicked off in Tallahassee on Tuesday, and by Thursday afternoon the repeal bill had already cleared the lower chamber in a 74-37 vote.

[The FL Senate is not so supportive, however…]
Florida gun owners should be contacting their state senators and demanding they restore the right to keep and bear arms to young adults in the Sunshine State. I think there’s a very good chance the Supreme Court will eventually say that it’s unconstitutional to block adults under the age of 21 from purchasing or possessing firearms, but we’re still probably a couple of years away from that decision. In the meantime, the rights of under-21s continue to be curtailed, and its up to the Florida legislature to correct its error. The House has done its part. Now it’s time for the Senate to do the same.

There are 26 registered voters at this toilet in California.

I’m not kidding. I have the voter records. See for yourself. The only thing here is a stinky port-a john inside an empty parking lot.

No homes. No mailboxes. Yet TWENTY SIX ‘people’ are casting ballots here.

Straight-up voter fraud out in the open. This just a glimpse of what’s happening under Gavin Newsom.

This is why California desperately needs Voter ID — NOW

Germany’s shut down of nuclear plants a ‘huge mistake’, says Merz

https://brusselssignal.eu/2026/01/germanys-shut-down-of-nuclear-plants-a-huge-mistake-says-merz/

“It was a serious strategic mistake to phase out nuclear energy … we simply don’t have enough energy generation capacity,” Merz said.

“So we are now undertaking the most expensive energy transition in the entire world,” he said. “I know of no other country that makes things so expensive and difficult as Germany.”

By contrast, France “generates about 65 per cent to 70 per cent of its electricity from nuclear power”

(Another poison pill planted by Angela MERKEL. Merkel is a merkin!)

In my personal opinion, this had to have been intentional. I can’t imagine the leadership of a country actually being that stupid to not see what it would do to their economy, and more importantly, the people of their nation.

So far DOD (War Dep’t) is playing really good football. It may well be that Raizin Cane sp? isn’t even allowed to attend the DHS meetings. I got that. But there are other people out there who know how to do these things. POTUS likes Kristi. He thinks her eyelashes are hot. OK, I get that, too, but there are people out there who know how to handle these things. It’s not a wwf event. Things classified TS-LES need to be handled professionally.

I notice that Homan has been a little less vocal these days.

The funny thing about Epochs and Inflection Points?
People that live them rarely ‘see’ them for what they are, they get a sense that something changed but can’t put it into context.
Usually, the power vacuum forces a hasty decision.
Did the Roman citizens in Britain realize that the Empire ceased to exist when the Legions packed up and marched away or did they just see that there were no troops on the walls when the Barbarians began to mass for an attack?
They turned to City Hall or the Church to organize a defense, trading sudden freedom for long term security.

Am I wrong?
