The Revolt and The Revolting
This Blog is created to stress the importance of Peace as an environmental directive. “I never give them hell. I just tell the truth and they think it’s hell.” – Harry Truman (I receive no compensation from any entry on this blog.)

Natalie Harp sort of makes sense when considering...
...Melania has a good looking man as an international adviser. Unhappy is as unhappy does.
November 12, 2026Marc Beckman (click here) made his name selling sneakers, soda and fashion. Now he spends much of his time helping Melania Trump with her public image, including negotiating with Russia and producing her multimillion-dollar Amazon documentary.
He has labeled himself her “exclusive senior adviser,” an amorphous title that over the past year has also included diplomacy on her behalf.
Beckman and Trump were the top American representatives at a White House ceremony on Nov. 5 commemorating a humanitarian ceasefire in one of Ukraine’s hardest-hit frontline cities in the war.
Internet sleuths (click here) are consumed with finding out the identity of the mystery woman who was heard giggling at the beginning of President Donald Trump's surprise call to C-SPAN on Monday night....
NORAD needs to be on alert.
All flights across the United States (click here) have been ‘ground-stopped’ until at least 5 pm EST due to a nationwide radio equipment outage, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced.
Issues were first reported at around 3:30 pm when Kansas City Air Route Traffic Control Center entered a ground stop due to intermittent equipment outages before the problem appears to have spread across other air traffic control centers in quick succession.
Aircraft that are currently in the air are being allowed to continue their flights, but any plane on the ground is being kept there while engineers race to fix the yet-to-be-identified issue....

According to the German newspaper BILD’s report, cited by Anadolu agency, the proposals, reportedly shared with European representatives during the Abu Dhabi talks, go well beyond Ukraine’s borders and aim to establish what Moscow describes as a “new European security order.”
According to BILD, Russia wants to retain all Ukrainian territory currently under its occupation and receive the remaining parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions still controlled by Kyiv....
It is continued corruption, racketeering, and treason.
...Last week, (click here) Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confronted Lutnick over the Commerce Department's failure to place Megaspeed on the Entity List, Axios reported.
Chris McGuire, an expert on China and emerging technologies at the Council on Foreign Relations, said, "The real scandal here is the lack of enforcement of export controls."
He added that the Commerce Department had known for as long as a year that Megaspeed was being run by a woman who is believed by the U.S. to be a Chinese spy, "and they did nothing." The New York Times reported that about a year ago, President Trump was briefed on intelligence that suggested that Alice Huang was a Chinese asset and that she had grown close to Jensen Huang.
"Either Lutnick doesn't know how to do his job or he is protecting Huang," McGuire said....

It is time to return national security issues to NASA.
By Henry Austin
Ukraine’s military (click here) has experienced a renewed wave of “significant disruptions” to the Starshield satellite internet service, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Thursday, hampering its ability to defend itself against Russia as the United States pushes for progress in peace talks.
Units have for several days reported speed restrictions affecting the entire front line and Russian-occupied parts of the country, Zelenskyy said in a social media post. A limit of 100 mph is “being imposed on Starshield,” he said of the military version of SpaceX’s Starlink communications service....
Trump's kinship with communists is more that of a double agent.
President Trump (click here) was told aboard Air Force One in May en route to China that the United States had obtained sensitive intelligence showing that Nvidia’s chief executive was in a relationship with a woman believed to be a Chinese spy, people with knowledge of the matter said.
The message was delivered by Marco Rubio, his secretary of state and national security adviser, shortly before the Nvidia leader, Jensen Huang, joined the presidential trip to Beijing at Mr. Trump’s invitation. It marked at least the second time in seven months that the president had been told of intelligence about Mr. Huang’s involvement with the woman.
The existence of the previously unreported update given to Mr. Trump contradicts the president’s assertion on Monday that he had not known at the time of the trip about Mr. Huang’s relationship with the woman, who U.S. officials had concluded was working for China’s Ministry of State Security.
“No, I didn’t hear about it then,” Mr. Trump said when asked at a news conference whether he knew about Mr. Huang’s ties to the woman when he headed to a summit meeting with Xi Jinping, China’s leader....
The relationship with Russia is normalizing.
A tanker carrying Russian diesel to the U.S. (click here) was forced to reverse course in another blow to President Donald Trump’s energy deal with Russia.
The Agioi Fanendes tanker, a Malta-flagged tanker which was carrying approximately 300,000 barrels of Russian diesel, or 40,000 metric tons, reversed course 400 nautical miles away from New York, according to Bloomberg and the Kyiv Post.
In an early October bid to lower energy costs in the U.S. before the midterm elections, Donald Trump said he had signed a deal with Russia to supply the U.S. with 300,000 tons of diesel to the US in October, 500,000 tons in November, and then 1 million tons after that....
...New START reduced U.S. and Russian strategic nuclear offensive forces (click here) to levels not seen since the 1960s. Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed last September that Russia and the United States continue to observe New START’s numerical limits for one year after February 5. He did not, however, offer to continue the treaty’s verification measures.
In any event, Washington ignored the Russian offer. Although Trump in 2025 had expressed interest in it, he posted on social media on February 5 that “we should have our Nuclear Experts work on a new, improved and modernized Treaty.”....

Happy Veterans Day
Thank you for protecting our democracy.
I find it interesting there is a bit of a revolt with choosing Democratic leadership. There should be no freshman congressmen or women elected to leadership. Considering the problems we have experienced in the past two years the legislative leadership needs to be an experienced person. If a leader of any house has to check chronically with the parliamentarian about procedure there will be a delay in passing legislation and that isn't what should happen. We need to expedite legislation with a clear understanding of what the people are demanding.

The "temporary" National Guard deployment in D.C. just signed a three-year lease.
The National Guard is being abused. Trump is paranoid. Putting the National Guard in charge of Washington, DC is not legal.
EXCLUSIVE UPDATE: (click here) The Air Force says Maj. Jason Watson violated an order by going on CNN. It had expired 24 days earlier. The 7-day review that keeps him locked up rests on that 1 finding. The order ran Jul 3 to Jul 24, renewed once, and while it was in effect he obeyed it: restriction, check-ins, no statements. Rule 305 allows confinement only when lesser restraint won't work. It worked. Day 80. Hearing Nov 17.If he obeyed the restriction, why the cell?
There are contracts? Since when are members of the military required to sign a contract?
UPDATE on Military Trans Ban (click here): A Marine board voted to keep him. The Marine Corps changed the rules anyway. He’s out Friday. SSgt Damien Contreras: ten years, three deployments, a board that said keep him. A week after the news broke, the Corps deleted the one rule that let him stay until the Navy Secretary signs. He hasn’t signed. Contract’s up Friday. Nobody overruled the board. The clock did. Share before Friday. Somebody with a pen needs to see it.
"Cav Scout" is a Cavalry Scout. Reconnaissance. He was there in the middle of the fight before anyone else. Reconnaissance is required to be self sufficient. They are the eyes and ears of the commander. Cav Scouts literally look for enemy troop movements to report the war theater back to the people making the decisions about the war. He is a pretty smart guy. He knows what it is to be a soldier.
There was criminal content everywhere, even the Chief of Staff.
The White House is a three ring circus of corruption. No policy, no concern for the public, no attending to the business of the people, but, pure unadulterated greed.

...In 2025 Congress established a 0.4 milligrams-per-container cap (click here) on finished hemp products, with the federal ban originally scheduled to take effect on November 12. A stopgap funding bill later inserted a carve-out delaying that ban, temporarily sustaining a large hemp industry.The carve-out was reportedly pushed by the Trump White House in August and September through the Continuing Appropriations Act, according to The New York Times, despite prior public statements.
Since Wiles’s exit, critics have renewed accusations that she and other White House aides favored special interests and corporate donors, pressuring policy away from health-focused initiatives.
Calley Means, a former adviser to HHS Secretary Kennedy Jr., alleged that Wiles’s team bowed to industry pressure from sugar, pharma, pesticides, and tobacco interests and resisted restrictions on various controversial products, including flavored vapes and kratom.
Means also asserted that Wiles influenced hemp policy timing to accommodate industry ties, a claim she described as evidence of ‘putting her finger on the scale.’
A July 2025 lawsuit by North Carolina hemp manufacturer Asterra accused Worley of leveraging his connections to attract investors and secure political favors, while overstating ties to the Wiles family to gain clout in the sector.
So, how much THC is too much? (click here) Here are ranges to help you set general expectations. Again, it’s helpful to remember that everyone’s physiology is a bit different.
1 – 5 mg THC
This is generally regarded as the smallest of THC dosages, making it perfect for beginners as well as those of us who’d like to microdose. At this level we’ll typically feel mild relief of pain, stress, anxiety, and other symptoms. Some consumers experience heightened creativity as well.
5 – 15 mg THC
At this level of dosage, you’ll tend to feel stronger symptom relief. This is also where most consumers tend to feel a heightened sense of euphoria. You might also experience slight impairment of coordination and alteration of your perception of time. Anything under 15 mg is a good choice for helping with insomnia (especially with indica-dominant strains), while more energizing sativa-dominant strains can foster increased social interaction in some users.
15 – 30 mg THC
We recommend caution with inexperienced consumers ingesting dosages above 15 mg. This level is where newbies tend to experience paranoia, while seasoned users enjoy the heightened euphoria and relaxation. It’s also a good choice for cannabis patients who have developed tolerances to lower doses.
30 – 50 mg THC
At this dosage, most people experience impaired coordination and altered perception. That said, medical patients who have difficulty absorbing cannabinoids into their GI tract are helped by edible dosages of this level.
50 – 100 mg THC
This level is only for those experienced with THC. Even in seasoned consumers, negative side effects like paranoia and rapid heart rate can occur. Coordination is almost always impaired at this stage.
Beyond 100 mg THC
This level of dosage is only recommended for the most experienced consumers. Often called a “heroic dose,” it’s only for those who have taken high doses in this range before.
It is called racketeering.

This report identifies more than 75 individuals and entities (click here) that have contributed nearly $1.7 billion to President Trump’s political operations; personal projects, including his inauguration and the White House East Wing ballroom; and family-owned companies. These individuals and entities have reaped or will reap benefits conservatively estimated at approximately $183 billion.......The New York Times reported on Tuesday (click here) that Habba Mildon was terminated last week by Concord Partners, a company owned by the family of Venezuelan businessman Julio Herrera Velutini. Habba Mildon reportedly received a massive contract from the company just weeks before Trump pardoned Herrera Velutini.
Habba Mildon was fired for a "failure to perform duties," according to a person familiar with the situation and a November 4 letter addressed to Habba Mildon that was reviewed by The Times....
...Trump's former lawyer is still making out in the deal as she'll reportedly keep an $8 million bonus as well as $6.5 million that was already paid to her. The overall contract would have seen her making $10 million every four years along with bonuses.
Herrera came to a plea deal in August 2025 after being accused of attempting to bribe the governor of Puerto Rico in 2022, pleading guilty to one misdemeanor campaign finance violation guilty. His family then reportedly began working on getting him a pardon through Habba Mildon and her ties to Trump. The president pardoned Herrera earlier this year after Habba Mildon was hired by the man's family's law firm, which was just registered in Florida shortly before her hiring....
Where was Trump and the FBI? Looking the other way?
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's affair (click here) with a Chinese businesswoman alleged to be a spy for Beijing facilitated the shipment of at least $7.5 billion worth of the company's chips to Chinese firms, The Information reported on Tuesday, citing two people who know her.
Alice Huang, along with her husband and sister, built a network of companies across China and Singapore to acquire Nvidia chips, according to the report, Alice Huang and Jensen Huang are not related....
Earlier this year, the Trump administration approved this Chinese firm to assemble Nvidia’s advanced chips into the computers that create artificial intelligence. President Trump allowed the sale of the chips, called the H200, to China late last year. But before they could be sold, the Commerce Department was required to review the companies involved for national security risks.
New Matrix passed that review. Yet recent checks by The New York Times found that, within China, there is little evidence the firm actually exists, raising questions about who in China is behind the company....
The NASA Space Program is the only one capable of long distance exploration.
The First Connections: 1970 (click here)
Computers cost tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in the 1960s. What's more, they took up a lot of space. That meant there weren't many powerful computers to go around for the military personnel and scientists who needed them.
To solve the problem, the Department of Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) decided to try to connect a handful of large computers so they could share software, research information, or even storage space across whole states.
Spreading the powerful computers out like this was also a form of protection -- geographically removed computers meant it would be much harder for an enemy to take out the military's computer information in one blow.
They established a system called ARPAnet, which had four main hubs: the Universities of California in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles, the University of Utah, and SRI International. Once connected, a researcher could sit down at a computer at one hub and pull anything off a computer at another hub...
The current environment for politics is going to continue to be islamophobia.
John Fetterman, (click here) the maverick Democratic senator who has provoked widespread anger by increasingly siding with Republicans, is to be challenged for his Pennsylvania seat by a democratic socialist candidate who is originally from Gaza.
Ahmed Moor, a Palestinian American, said he would run in a primary to be the Democratic nominee in 2028, when Fetterman’s seat is up for re-election.
The move is the first sign of Fetterman’s weakened position in the party since the Democrats won back control of the Senate in last week’s US midterm elections, when the party won at least 54 of the upper chamber’s 100 seats.
The prospect of a comfortable Senate majority in effect eliminates the possibility of Fetterman’s vote being decisive, a relief to Democratic strategists who feared he could no longer be relied on for support on contentious issues....
The Nvidia scandal is not about gossip it is about national security.

Jensen Huang (click here) joins a long list of tech execs whose relationship scandals have been thrust into the spotlight.
The Nvidia CEO wrote a memo apologizing for an affair. The company's board is investigating the matter.
From Bill Gates to Astronomer's former CEO, here is how various business leaders have dealt with relationship drama....

This death of an alliance officer in the South Korean military is very serious.
November 2, 2026
By Julie Masson and Yoojin Lee
A South Korean (click here) army sergeant stationed near the border with North Korea died Monday after being found unconscious with visible injuries, according to the South’s Ministry of National Defense. Military and civilian authorities are investigating the cause of death and circumstances surrounding the incident in Cheorwon county, Gangwon province, a ministry spokesman said by text message Monday. The ministry provided no further details. Initial reports indicated the soldier had suffered a gunshot wound, according to South Korean broadcaster JTBC and the Maeil Business Newspaper.
This death needs investigation. Our soldiers may not be secure.
Two legislative processes can occur simultaneously.
Legislation to correct the immediate future and proposed Amendments to provide for the stability of the USA Constitution.
The House and Senate can pass legislation for Campaign Finance Reform and in different legislation an Amendment to the USA Constitution defining citizens rights of human beings different than that of inanimate objects such as money. I mean what is next, Crypto Citizenship?
So, while this Congress will chase down the legislation necessary to protect the people immediately, there can and should be Amendments to the USA Constitution sought to shore up the morality of the USA Constitution.
So, onward and upward.
Kristen Welker provided incredible insight after the return of our Consitution.
Hegseth is an absolute, must be done.
By Mark Hodge, Amina Kilpatrick and Kayla Hayempour
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., (click here) said he supports efforts to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, which are expected to be brought to a vote this week.
Asked in an interview on ABC News’ “This Week” whether he would support Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., in his efforts to impeach Hegseth, Jeffries confirmed he supported the push.
“I’m a hard yes on the Hegseth resolution,” Jeffries said....
But in the phone interview, (click here) Trump put on a brave face — and offered an olive branch: He said that he would be willing to work with Democrats.
“They’ve already called, and they want to work with me. I have the right to veto everything, but I don’t want to be just sitting there for two years just vetoing everything,” he said.
While a handful of seats remain to be counted, the Democrats have won comfortable majorities in both the House of Representatives, where they have secured at least 253 seats out of 435, and in the Senate, where they have won at least 54 out of 100.
Trump has since posted a picture on his Truth Social account using the Make America Great Again red baseball hat to read “VETO”. Despite the Democrats’ success, as president, Trump holds broad executive authority, with Article 1, Section 7 of the US Constitution stipulating that the president has the power to reject legislation passed by Congress through a veto.
Congress can override the veto, but would need to have a two-thirds majority, something that the Democrats do not have in either chamber....
