German military seeks massive troop boost to meet NATO goals

Memo by a top commander calls for more than doubling the size of the German military over the next decade. - POLITICO -  Chris Lunday and Gordon Repinski

The German military is pressing for a dramatic expansion of its ranks by 2029 and beyond as it looks to become Europe's dominant army...

The paper, sent to the defense ministry and Bundeswehr inspector general earlier this month, argues that only a much larger army will give Germany the credibility to deter adversaries and fight a high-intensity war alongside allies...

• Chancellor Friedrich Merz has pledged to turn the Bundeswehr into “Europe’s strongest conventional army” and take a greater responsibility for the continent's defense — a promise that thrilled NATO allies but raised questions at home about how to deliver the numbers.

The Green Agenda Turned New England Into an Energy Price Punchline | RealClearEnergy

Every month, the electric bill arrives, and it’s larger than the month before. - Daniel Turner

The region pays more for electricity than almost anyone else in America—higher than the national average and, outside of Alaska and Hawaii, higher than anywhere else in the country. 

This is not a coincidence. 

• It is the inevitable result of politicians who pushed the risky and unreliable green agenda while forcing reliable power plants off the grid.

Here's an inconvenient history lesson. 

• When Joe Biden took office, electricity in New England cost 20.7 cents per kilowatt-hour. 
• By the time he left, it was more than 28.2 cents. That’s a staggering spike of more than 36% in just four years...

Trump Tariffs Bring In New Record Amount of Revenue

Trump Tariffs Bring In New Record Amount of Revenue: 

The tariffs implemented by President Donald Trump brought in $31.4 billion in August, marking the largest monthly intake so far in 2025. Data from the Treasury Department said that total tariff revenue for this year has meanwhile exceeded $183.6 billion, according to a Sept. 7 report from Fox Business. The sum collected in August marks an increase from the $17.4 billion collected in April, the $23.9 billion received in May, the $28 billion received in June, and the $29 billion collected in July

For years, the Democrats have maintained their goal to take away freedom of choice on health care, wanting government health care for all. - Jack Hellner

• The misnamed “Affordable Care Act” took away freedom of choice, forcing everyone to buy a Rolls Royce policy, which obviously made premiums skyrocket.

Democrats continually lied, saying that

•  if you liked your plan and doctor you could keep them, and they intentionally lied when they said
• Obamacare would substantially lower premiums...

The bill had thousands of pages of regulations, and took away lifetime and annual limits, which meant small- and medium-sized companies couldn’t afford the risk, leaving large companies with a captive audience.

• The results of Obamacare are obvious. 
• Health insurance is much more unaffordable...

'Last-minute abuse of power': Lawsuit seeks details about Biden's 'accelerated' prosecutions over Jan. 6 * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

It seems there may have been an active agenda under the Joe Biden administration to accelerate prosecutions over the Jan. 6, 2021, protest-turned-riot at the Capitol after President Donald Trump was elected in 2024 and it was clear Biden soon would be out of power. It was under the Biden administration that judges uniformly held people suspected of offenses like trespassing for months, even years, in prison.

Worldwide!!-----For the first time, more kids are obese than underweight

According to UNICEF’s new Child Nutrition Report, about 9.4 percent of school-age kids (ages 5–19) are living with obesity, compared to 9.2 percent who are underweight.  - Pratik Pawar

• Twenty-five years ago, the gap was much wider: Nearly 13 percent of kids were underweight, while just 3 percent had obesity. 

It might feel odd to put obesity in the same bucket as underweight; one has long been seen as a problem of scarcity, the other of excess. 

But public health experts now define both as forms of malnutrition, which they describe in three dimensions: 

• not enough food, 
• too much of the wrong food, and 
• hidden hunger from micronutrient deficiencies...

When they default to lies, you know they have no proof.

Outraged: FBI agents sat on photo of Kirk assassination suspect for 12 hours before briefing Patel * WorldNetDaily * by Jim Hoft, the Gateway Pundit

Outraged: FBI agents sat on photo of Kirk assassination suspect for 12 hours before briefing Patel * WorldNetDaily * by Jim Hoft, the Gateway Pundit: 

FBI agents in Salt Lake City reportedly sat on a crucial photo of the suspected assassin who assassinated Charlie Kirk for nearly 12 hours before sharing it with their boss, Director Kash Patel. This delay prompted an angry response from Patel, who was incensed that he was not informed more quickly.

It appears that the primary reason some on the left justify the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and in some cases even glorify it, is that Charlie Kirk was against 'gender affirming care.'

It appears that the primary reason some on... - Wallace L. Garneau | Facebook - Wallace L. Garneau

• Understand that 'gender affirming care' was sprung on the public for one reason and one reason only - to reduce the suicide rates of trans children, which was four time higher than the national average...

It did not hurt that the cost of such care is about two million bucks per kid, and that this is almost pure profit.

• Most parents cannot afford that care, so the AMA pushed for the state to fund it at taxpayer expense...

The suicide rate of those who had 'gender affirming care' is not four times the average, as it is with trans kids who get no treatment at all, but 48 times (the average).
That is not a typo. 

The suicide rate for trans kids is a whopping 12 times higher after 'gender affirming care' than before.

• That is why Charlie Kirk was against it.

Wasted Land

The federal government owns about a third of America. - John Stossel 

Since we're on a path to bankruptcy, it would be smart to sell some unused property.

• President Donald Trump's Interior Secretary says it may be worth as much as $200 trillion. Selling just a fraction of it would reduce our enormous debt.
• Not just that -- since government doesn't manage things well, selling or leasing some would leave it in better condition.
• Federal bureaucrats have been slow to do controlled burns and remove deadwood that becomes fuel for fires. "Fires on federal lands accounted for more than half of the acres burned," says the Congressional Budget Office...

Was the killer groomed??!!-----Former Tonight Show Host Jay Leno Has Dire Prediction About Free Speech After Charlie Kirk Killing - Rusty Weiss

“It’s not a random shooting. I mean, it’s the death of free speech, to think that you are so illiterate and so stupid you can’t answer verbally, and you have to shoot somebody with a gun to quote 'win the argument,'” he said in the immediate aftermath of Kirk's death.
Leno, appearing on "The Tim Conway Jr. Show", refused to hold back his thoughts on the assassination, describing the killer as too intellectually lacking to actually engage in civil discourse, thus resulting in his need to turn to violence...

• "When I was in school, lively debate was unbelievable, to have the SDS, the Students for Democratic Society, debate somebody else," the former host of "The Tonight Show" continued. "I can remember when James Baldwin debated William F. Buckley at Oxford University. It was just fascinating."
• Leno added. “I mean, we’re at a point in this country where, if you don’t agree with everybody on everything, you take out a gun and you shoot them?”

Foreign data centers: U.S. security systems are compromised by China * WorldNetDaily * by Russ Walker, Chet Love, Real Clear Wire: 

The biggest security threat comes from China. Millions of U.S. homes and businesses rely on electronics and security systems manufactured by companies with direct ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Many of these products are cheap, widely available, and deeply integrated into our daily lives. But the cost we save at checkout comes due later when our personal information and national infrastructure are at risk.

Take Hikvision and Dahua, two Chinese surveillance giants blacklisted by the U.S. government. Their products—used in schools, homes, and even municipal buildings—are capable of sending video data to foreign servers.

Same with Democrat leadership. - Daniel Jupp

Centrists will say ‘you are the same’. 
The big difference is there’s been ZERO rightwing violence.

• So everything globalists say is needed against ‘the Far Right’ needs to be done to the Left, including globalists. 
• Censorship, legal consequence for extremist views, driven from jobs, the lot. 
• Get them out of the universities, out of positions of authority. 

A total purge.
And designate everything Soros as a terrorist organisation...
