The past few days, I got my hands on thousands of new transcripts and hundreds of recordings, thanks to leads from @SKDoubleDub33 and @iamlisalogan . You've heard that the DSA is proposing structural reforms to America, including abolishing the Senate and imposing term limits. What you not have heard is - there is an operational plan to put it all into action. If the Democratic Party sweeps 2026, then DSA will become "foot soldiers" in constant clashes with the administration to cross a "red line" or invoke a "doomsday scenario" - meaning, President Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, probably sometime in 2027. Then, a lot of coordinated responses kick off, including delegitimizing the federal government itself and handing that legitimacy to Democratic governors. 2028 then becomes a vote on whether to keep America governance as-is or to burn it all down to appease a "young and brown" demographic. The mysterious group who's been coordinating 50501, Indivisible, and coordinating the NoKings protests is called "United Democracy Alliance" and their intellectual leader is Erica Chenoweth who came up with the 3.5% rule of nonviolent regime change. Patience. I know I've hyped this more than anything else. It's genuinely the biggest discovery I've had. This is an enormous archive. This is only the beginning.

What does effective IBM i training actually need to accomplish? It’s easy to measure training by whether someone completes a course. But for technical teams, the bigger question is whether that person can think through a problem independently when the course is over. That’s one of the things that stood out to us in this testimonial from Steven Davis of The H.T. Hackney Co. Steven describes how our RPG training focuses on writing code AND on learning the process of designing programs, troubleshooting problems, and thinking like a developer. With IBM i skills in high demand and many teams struggling to find the time to train new developers, training needs to transfer technical knowledge and build problem-solving skills, confidence, and the ability to keep learning. That’s the goal behind our approach at imPower: give developers the hands-on experience and guidance they need to become capable, independent IBM i professionals. As Steven put it, the impact on his career “cannot be stated enough.” What do you think is the most important outcome of technical training?

Woke Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek finally debated Republican challenger @ChristineDrazan. Democrats have had executive control of the state for 40 years and have driven the state down with massive taxes, public safety issues and left-wing violent extremism. Kotek is running on abortion access, trans access and support for illegal foreign nationals.

A 2023 national survey found that 83% of registered voters supported a constitutional amendment imposing congressional term limits. Support crossed party lines: 86% of Republicans, 80% of Democrats, and 84% of independents favored the idea. Americans across the political spectrum see the problem. They know that Washington, D.C., was not designed to be run by a permanent political class.

Replying to @BernieSanders
Dear Senator Sanders, Oh, this is RICH. This is so perfectly, exquisitely, weapons-grade rich that I had to put down my anatomy exams and just... appreciate it for a moment. The man who got thrown out of a SOCIALIST HIPPIE COMMUNE in Vermont in 1971 — after THREE DAYS — for refusing to do any actual work while everyone else planted, harvested, and hauled water, is out here telling me the OLIGARCHS want to control everything. Three. Days. The communists gave you a longer trial period than most employers give to someone who steals from the register. Here is what Jim Quinn's Law Number Two says, and I want every single person reading this to tattoo it somewhere useful: "If you want to know what liberals are up to, pay attention to what they accuse conservatives of doing." Senator, you OWN THREE HOMES. A Burlington residence. A D.C. townhouse. A $575,000 vacation lake house in North Hero, Vermont — purchased in 2016, the same year you were touring the country telling college students the system is rigged. Your net worth sits somewhere between $2.5 and $3 million. You have pocketed over $2.5 MILLION in book royalties since 2011. That elevator is clearly not stuck between floors for you, is it. And then — THEN — during your "Fighting Oligarchy Tour" with AOC, you spent over $550,000 in CAMPAIGN FUNDS on PRIVATE JET TRAVEL. Half a million dollars on luxury jets to lecture working Americans about the dangers of wealth. When Fox News caught you boarding a Bombardier Challenger 604 — a jet that runs up to $15,000 PER HOUR — you did not apologize. You did not even blink. You looked directly into the camera and said, and I am quoting this verbatim because it is the most accidentally honest thing you have ever said: "You think I'm gonna be sitting on a waiting line at United?" Senator. THAT IS OLIGARCHIC THINKING. That is TEXTBOOK "the rules apply to you people, not to me." That is the elevator music of every single billionaire you have spent 35 years pretending to oppose. In a battle of wits with your own stated beliefs, you showed up completely unarmed. Thirty-five years in Congress. You know what your personal legislative output looks like? Eight bills passed. EIGHT. In three and a half DECADES. That works out to 0.23 bills per year. I have produced more graded anatomy exams in a single semester. Your two greatest solo legislative achievements — the ones with your name on top, the thing YOU actually DID — are the naming of a post office in Danville, Vermont, and the naming of a post office in Fair Haven, Vermont. You named. Two. Post offices. You are as useful as a screen door on a submarine when it comes to actually passing legislation, but you want me to believe you are the vanguard of the working class. That sounds like a YOU problem. Quinn's Law #25: "Liberals are great at giving away other people's money." You have been living PROOF of that law for 35 years. You give away everyone else's money — from a vacation home on a lake — while spending half a million on jets because you are far too important to wait in line with the taxpayers funding your lifestyle. You want to talk about oligarchs controlling the media? You have been IN the media for four decades. You just finished a $75 million documentary. You have a book deal. You have a podcast. You HAVE the megaphone and you are using it to tell people that other people have the megaphone. The gene pool really needed a lifeguard for THAT particular reasoning. I am a high school science teacher in Northeast Ohio. I support a family of six on a teacher's salary. I am not particularly impressed by a man with three houses, $550,000 in jet receipts, and 0.23 bills per year telling me he stands with the working class. More famous than wise, Senator. More famous than wise. The hippie commune knew it in 72 hours. How long is it going to take everyone else? IF you agree: LIKE this post so the algorithm shows it to people who need to read it. SHARE this. COMMENT below — do YOU think a man with three homes and a half-million dollar private jet habit speaks for working Americans? Tell me. And if you want MORE of this — the data, the history, the science, the stories — JOIN Bski's Classroom community on X or YouTube. But what do I know — I am only a science teacher who can actually do math, a retired Army combat medic who knows what genuine sacrifice looks like, and apparently one of the few people left who finds it suspicious that the most vocal enemy of oligarchy just cannot bring himself to wait in line at the airport with the rest of us. @JoJoFromJerz @GuntherEagleman @catturd2 #MAGA #Veterans #Trump

Thanks @AlaskaAir for getting me (and I assume everyone else) home. The agents were having a very long day too, and everyone handled it very well. Maybe though, there's a better way to handle that many people when these unexpected things happen.

I said I would give Pam Bondi a year to prove herself as an Attorney General who would dismantle the Deep State, let Americans see the truth, and finally bring to justice the criminal elites who have been “too big to jail.” Today, that year is up, and I haven’t seen evidence that she has done ANY of that. Bondi’s handling of the Epstein case was one of the worst fumbles I have ever seen. But we all remember that. What about the lack of prosecution against anyone who tried to weaponize the justice system against political opponents like Trump? Or the failure to prosecute the perpetrators of the Russiagate hoax like Clapper and Comey? That’s not weaponization. We’ve had the EVIDENCE for years that they lied and colluded with the press! Where are the prosecutions related to the Mar-a-Lago raid? We keep finding out that it was even WORSE than we were told, but NOTHING has happened yet? Can we get an update on any George Soros investigations? Why has it taken so long to go after him? Or how about investigating the Clintons for NON-Epstein related scandals: Gazprom? Uranium One? Benghazi? Hillary’s email server? Claims of fraud in Haiti? Anything the Clinton Foundation has touched?! How about the failure to drain the Swamp of Deep State actors working against the American people and their elected officials? Or the PROVEN lies from Capitol Police about Jan. 6? Or the FBI’s lies about the number of agents in the crowd? Or investigations into possible 2020 election fraud? Or follow-up on DOGE’s fraud findings? Sure, the DOJ is looking into the Somali fraudsters. But what about everyone in the banks, state government, and federal offices that HAD TO have known about the fraud?! What about Biden’s autopen scandal? Who signed off on everything if it wasn’t Biden? And the Biden administration was FULL of government weaponization worth prosecuting: the COVID lockdowns and vaccine mandates, the unjust FACE Act arrests, everything the Twitter Files exposed. Where is a SINGLE arrest? And speaking of COVID, what about investigations into AMERICA’S role in creating the virus and covering up its true origins? And dare I mention Fauci?

URGENT: Members of Congress have leveraged their influence to prevent Convention of States from succeeding in calling an Article V Convention. It makes sense. For decades, they have benefited from the lack of restraints on our federal government –– and after we succeed in calling the Convention, We The People will be able to… ++ Impose term limits on Congress. ++ Balance the budget. ++ Take back our education systems. ++ Limit federal power. That’s why corrupt members of Congress are fighting tooth and nail to stop us in our tracks, joining with ultra-progressives like George Soros to combat our efforts to call a convention. Even Mitch McConnell fought to stop his own home state of Kentucky from passing the Convention of States Resolution when he was in power. But what these corrupt politicians don’t know is that Convention of States is backed by the biggest grassroots army this nation has ever seen. Americans from every corner of the nation are paying attention to what’s happening in Congress, are strong supporters of COS, and will hold their representatives accountable. We know that career politicians in D.C. will never limit their own power. Thankfully, Article V gives We the People the authority to call a convention where the states can propose amendments that force the feds back inside their constitutional box. It takes only 34 states to call a convention, and we’re already halfway there – and as we’re in the midst of legislative season, we have a unique opportunity to make serious progress in the coming months. But as a non-profit, we can’t do it alone. We need your help.

Air traffic controllers aren’t getting paid.   Federal employees aren’t getting paid.   Practically the only people in our government who ARE getting paid are members of Congress.   That's why I brought two bills to the Senate floor to stop paying Congress during shutdowns.
