    By Megan Miranda Reyes  Aug. 9, 2025

    Midterm Elections Revolution: Trump’s NEW American System Strategy

    PrometheanAction.com Posted May 7, 2026

    Forget conventional wisdom. This isn’t a typical midterm or president. We’re building a new American system, not just choosing from columns A or B. Trump is breaking globalist constraints for a sovereign nation future.

    A resident who moved to Florida from California says she just got her car registration bill in the mail (Video)

    In CA, it was $700. In FL, $47. Same car. Same driver. Stay and pay, or leave to survive. Democrats have destroyed California.

      Good mornin’, Lucille! Isn’t that amazing! Yet, they are billions and billions in debt. They’re waiting for the rest of us to bail them out. Coffee’s ready, ma’am.

    Good mornin’, and happy Friday! I haven’t looked at the news yet to see where we are on the FO phase of things across the world, but I thought you might want to be real efficient and get everything done in one shot. Keep your head on a swivel and carpe’ your coffee.

    Mornin’ All. Beautiful sunny day here. Really nice.

    Got things to do today. Getting my snow tires switched. I smelled coolant when I drove the car yesterday. Looks like paying a mechanic is in my very near future. We found a rat’s nest at the bottom of the windshield wipers. I wonder if it chewed through a hose.

    Well, time to go. Hope you all have a safe good day.

    Is Thomas Massie antisemitic? This is interesting:


    @RepThomasMassie
    went on Tucker Carlson yesterday and told his audience that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security set up its official X account in Israel using an Israeli IP address and an app purchased from the Israeli App Store, and that Congress needs to open an investigation into it.

    There’s just one problem. The claim is based on a screenshot that was fabricated.

    The image went viral in November showing the
    @DHSgov
    page listed as based in Tel Aviv, created July 2008, connected via the Israel App Store, and it got 39 million views and hundreds of thousands of likes before anyone looked closely at it.

    The screenshot didn’t have the gray checkmark that X puts on every single verified government account without exception, and the person who originally posted it later appeared to admit they made the whole thing up.

    X’s own head of product
    @nikitabier
    came out and called it fake news directly, confirming that
    @DHSgov
    was deliberately excluded from the location feature for security reasons and never showed any location data at all.

    A sitting U.S. congressman is calling for a federal investigation based on a screenshot that the person who made it appears to have admitted was fake, and Tucker just let him say it to millions of people.

    The new (created) pandemic? A PSA from X:

    I’m coming out of private because this hantavirus thing is getting ridiculous. Before I explain the facts of the virus, here’s why you should listen to me: Unlike most of the people on my feed, I am a Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear defense officer. My job is to ensure that large, closely-packed groups of people are not infected by diseases both endemic to the environment and manufactured by an enemy.

    Andes hantavirus has an extremely low transmissibility rate. You need to be in prolonged, close contact with someone to catch it. Transmission between humans is documented but so rare that it is considered exceptional. This is not COVID (for example, the common cold is a type of coronavirus).

    The 40% mortality rate figure is also a distortion of reality. The disease is treatable and anywhere with an adequate hospital can save you – rates are between 1-15%. This 40% rate is because Andean hantavirus is endemic to a region with very poor access to medical care. If you live in a developed country, you have nothing to worry about. (https://cdc.gov/hantavirus/about/index.html)

    The chances of the virus mutating to become more infectious are low, but not impossible. If it does become more infectious, it will also become less lethal. This is a basic, natural evolutionary tradeoff to ensure the virus’s propagation.

    Of seven suspected (two confirmed) cases, three have already died. Based on the case timeline, they likely contracted the disease in Argentina before boarding (they boarded on April 1 and first showed symptoms on April 6 – the virus takes at least one week to show symptoms). That leaves four people who could possibly transmit the virus, all of whom are hospitalized. (https://who.int/emergencies/disease-outbreak-news/item/2026-DON599)

    The flight attendant had minimal if any contact with the infected passenger who was removed and isolated before the plane took off. Her symptoms also onset far too early to be related to this case. She has already tested negative for hantavirus.

    If you have questions I’m happy to answer, but there is genuinely no threat to public health from this outbreak on a cruise ship. Don’t fall for people fearmongering a pandemic for engagement money.

    When cleaning out my “note” box (I’m a constant note-taker), I ran across a quote from one of my favorite YouTubers, a very knowledgeable legal immigrant to the USA from Italy….

    She believes that God preserved her life. I think she’s right! Her car was t-boned by a drunk driver speeding at 80 miles an hour, literally splitting her car in half, and she survived with only a headache. Sounds like a miracle to me.

      That’s what Jesus Christ’s name of Immanuel means…God with us! So, yes, this believer just received a miracle.

      “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and give birth to a son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which means “God with us.” – Matthew 1:23
