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.

Another stabbing on a train in Charlotte NC. Illegal alien from Honduras. He became enraged when someone told him to stop yelling on the train. The victim survived.
Some young person just got stabbed to death at a school in Winston-Salem , NC. WTF is going on in that state? Yeah, dumb question….

-‘Pornhub says it’s helping shape EU-wide identity system
Sex site owned through Luxembourg will cooperate with effort to test age for online access’-
“Traffic to Pornhub in the UK and the US state of Louisiana collapsed by about 80% after age verification checks became required. Pornhub cut off service in most of the other US states where such laws have been adopted.”

A-10 “Warthogs” retained by Congress.
The Air Force wanted to delete all 162 A-10s still in service. Congress says keep 103 for another year.
This aging, but very hardy and extremely effective, ground attack air craft has no similar low altitude replacements planned by the AF. Special Forces Operations command is acquiring a few highly maneuverable light weight crop duster like aircraft for that role.
Given the emphasis of Trump’s new National Security Statement on the western hemisphere, why not keep at least several dozen A-10s for the actual shooting war on drugs that is developing.
A-10s will be perfect for low level attacks on drug cartel infrastructure and bases.

“Alexander Matsegora, the Russian ambassador to North Korea who was evaluated to have served as a “close link” between North Korea and Russia, has passed away. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un sent a message of condolence to President Vladimir Putin to express his grief.”
https://www.chosun.com/english/north-korea-en/2025/12/09/2LIZ6NKTLJAHLCC4ENMSH66A7U/#google_vignette
“Kim’s condolence message over Matsegora’s death is highly unusual, as he typically issues such messages only after the deaths of national leaders or major disasters in North Korea’s traditional socialist allies — including China, Russia, Vietnam and Cuba.”

“Noting that it is difficult to prove the damages in Korea if a company seals information, Kim added that if the US headquarters of Coupang has practical access to Korean Coupang’s systems and data, the US court can force Coupang to submit relevant information regardless of the location of its servers.”

That he is!
Yes. I don’t know how he does it. Some days he looks fatigued and his voice is scratchy. He needs more sleep. He is literally carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders.
yes, read natalie’s new substack (in the stack) about how the bush/carter/nixon tribes are all cashing checks from china trying to legitimize the ccp.

God Bless America and President Donald J Trump !

How sad to think in this life there is an end to his statements, but that is only in this world Ma’am.
You (and hopefully us) will hear him again.
Enjoyed so much listening to Erica and Hannity. Missing Charlie Kirk so much! And miss hearing the Boss yesterday on his show….
“Birch wood from Russia is being supplied to the European Union in circumvention of sanctions, according to an investigation by the German broadcaster SWR. The raw materials are routed through China, where they are relabeled. Of particular note, journalists found an offer to purchase Russian plywood from a Chinese subsidiary of the German-Swiss toy manufacturer Hape International.”

Thanks for posting this TC…..excellent thought from Mr. Sowell. I’ll be sharing it widely……truer words were never spoken.
TC, I sure get it. But we quit being a Representative Republic around the time FDR was able to con actual Americans into submission. Wish it weren’t true, but it is what it is.
