My Friend Frank is my hay guy…He brings me Hay for Mojo The Donkey and Pollyanna The Pony . He also brings me fresh bacon and pork chops . He is a Farmer .

Frank has a 2 year old Full Size Donkey …Buckwheat . It’s his pride and joy .

Sweet Beautiful Gentle Majestic Critter .

Now Frank is an unusual Character .Grew up in Foster Homes and Institutions. Has zero conventional “education” . Learned to read and write from a friend when he was in his 30s

He literally walks with God . He showed my how and why one day . He has His MRIs on his Phone . A few years back he got sick…Could not Poop for a week and was in a lot of pain. Walked in to the Hospital…they took the MRI and told him he had a large tumor in his intestines and it had to be immediately removed immediately . While they were running around organizing everything He told them he needs to go home and talk to his father before he decided . The Doctor told him he wouldn’t make it unless this was immediately addressed . Frank was 45 at the time so they were like…Your Father ? So anyhow he walked out of the Hospital with a picture of the Tumor..(He showed it to me when we first met)..it was huge .

He talked to his “Dad” …God …who he had met a few months prior after another traumatic experience. God told him to go lie down . When he woke up he vomited violently for what seemed like an eternity . Then EVERYTHING STARTED “MOVING” . He felt great . A week later he went back to the Doctor who had seen him and the Doc was shocked just to see him alive. He agreed to order another MRI
It’s on Franks phone…NOTHING …Gone ! I spoke with his daughter about this and she confirmed it was real . Anyhow Frank Talks to God all day every day and God talks to Frank .

Every day he finds someone who needs something and he stops to help them. he is a jack of all trades and there is nothing he cannot do . All through this area he is known as the guy you call when you need something fixed . Often he does it for free for those who need it. Whenever he is around there is a feeling of controlled calm . Mojo has had several Bladder operations and Frank is always there to trailer him to the Hospital and reassure us .

Buckwheat and Frank’s other animals are living on a Friends farm . The fellows wife happens to be a Large Animal vet . Yesterday morning Frank stopped by and was sullen. He had Bad News . Buckwheat had Foundered . Equines are prone to this condition..They go lame and sometimes it’s fatal . Usually due to a change in diet that causes a sugar spike …Metabolic disease is common in these critters. The vet farm gal was treating him for a month but the last 3 days he could not get up and could not eat. She was going to have to put Buckwheat down tomorrow ( today ). Frank was very sad of course and so was I . we both cried. I was thinking about Buckwheat all day yesterday.

This morning Frank shows up and I figure …thats it.

He says last night I decided to go to the barn and I brought God . Frank said God this little Donkey is only 2 years old. YOU created him . He lights up so many peoples lives. He never did any harm to anyone and then we prayed over Him . He recited to me the powerful words he was instructed to say …Then he lay down in the stall and put the Donkey’s head on his stomach and at 12 midnight he heard him yell loudly for a few minutes. Then silence and the both fell asleep. At 4:30 am Frank felt a tug on his coat and woke up..looked up and Buckwheat was standing up over him . Frank said he asked him what he wanted and Buckwheat “said” he was hungry..So they went out and found a patch of grass and Frank attached a flashlight to him and he started Grazing. When the vet showed up to do the “deed” she of course was astonished . She asked..HOW ?

Frank explained..

All the Farm hands love Buckwheat and they were checking on him for weeks and very distressed . Frank said that all that negative energy meant he could not recover. The act of pure positive “God” energy and love in the night quiet allowed him to recover .

This story is so Powerful so striking that I had to share it here…amidst all the negative that we are focused on…A miracle just happened .

So as you go about your Day ..remember Buckwheat .

BREAKING:

IRGC Commander Ahmad Vahidi is moving to sideline Ghalibaf and FM Araghchi (Trump’s favorites in Iran)

The people with real power in Iran aren’t the ones heading to Islamabad. The Revolutionary Guards are.

In other words, the same ones in power before the war, remain in power today

………..

The Reckoning
@sethjlevy
·
Mujtaba authorized the negotiations.

This is at the heart of the entire Iranian problem.

And I mean that internally to Iran.

In fact, I believe this is why Mujtaba and Ghalibaf concluded that Ali had to go.

He had seeded too much power to the IRGC.

Theoretically they follow the orders of the Supreme Leader.

But, it had evolved to a point where the IRGC had their own funding through the oil revenue and were behaving more and more independently from the SL.

So, for the IRGC this is about preserving the power and wealth they have captured.

They realize the threat to their power posed by these negotiations and the relinquishing of the strait.

The Homeland Defenders Organization, which shot and killed 2 regime officers at a checkpoint near Qom, dedicated the operation to two young protesters murdered by the regime: Nika Shakarami and Pezhman Gholipour.

This pro-Iran, anti-regime outfit did not indicate whether more operations are coming, but appears organized.

Will Iran reopen Hormuz or not? They really only have days to stop playing games with the rest of the world. It will soon be clear whether they can negotiate in good faith. It doesn’t look good. Their theology of jihad contains a permission structure for lying to their enemies to accomplish their aim: which is, to annihilate the hated infidels (that’s us).

That is the reason for this conflict, by the way. They have promised over and over again to destroy us. Why not believe them? The thousand pounds of enriched uranium is still stashed somewhere in the country. It has only one purpose, to be made into bombs, and they’re not allowed to keep it. The message is pretty simple, but they don’t seem to get it. There are probably big fissures between the Revolutionary Guard (IRGC), the secular government of President Masoud Pezeshkian, and the regular army (the Artesh). Are they even able to communicate with each other? You and I don’t know, though Mr. Trump and his people might know.

• IRGC chief Ahmad Vahidi is moving to limit the roles of Ghalibaf and Araghchi
• He is pushing to insert Zolghadr into the delegation, facing internal resistance
• IRGC figures are drawing red lines, refusing any talks on Iran’s missile program

The IRGC is openly opposing negotiations over Iran’s nuclear and missile capabilities, insisting Lebanon be included in any ceasefire deal and framing any compromise as capitulation.

That divide is now spilling onto the streets, where regime supporters are calling out Ghalibaf for treachery.

Jeff Childers has an important piece …Pass the Popcorn

Yesterday, the BBC reported an extraordinary White House statement, headlined, “Melania Trump denies ties to Jeffrey Epstein and urges hearing for survivors.”

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3ex07l1qvpo

The rare public statement could be described as having two parts: a legal defamation warning, and a call for transparency.

The First Lady read a prepared statement in which she completely denied any connection with Jeffrey Epstein, including the widely circulated claim (by Democrats) that Epstein originally introduced Melania to the President. “My attorneys and I have fought these baseless lies with success, and will continue to maintain my sound reputation without hesitation. To date, several individuals and organizations have been legally obligated to publicly apologize and retract their lies about me, including the Daily Beast, James Carville, and Harper Collins UK.”

It’s true. Last August, for instance, Democrat operative James “Ragin’ Cajun” Carville posted a podcast video repeating Michael Wolff’s debunked allegation that Melania and Trump met through Epstein’s modeling agency. Melania’s lawyers sent him a demand letter. Shortly thereafter, Carville opened his podcast saying, “We took a look at what they complained about, and we took down the video and edited out those comments from the episode. I also take back these statements and apologize.” Womp.

Now all media actors are on notice. The First Lady isn’t playing. Stop lying about me, or else.

? But then she went further. She called for survivor hearings. In other words, for more transparency.

“Epstein was not alone,” Melania said. “Several prominent male executives resigned from their powerful positions after this matter became widely politicized. We must work openly and transparently to uncover the truth. I call on Congress to provide the women who have been victimized by Epstein with a public hearing specifically centered around the survivors. Give these victims their opportunity to testify under oath in front of Congress with the power of sworn testimony. Each and every woman should have her day to tell her story in public if she wishes. Then her testimony should be permanently entered into the Congressional record.”

It was exactly what the “survivor groups” have been demanding. Time on the record before Congress. Representative Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) has long demanded Congressional hearings with survivors. She’s been pushing the House Oversight Committee to hold exactly the kind of hearing Melania just called for. But after Melania’s statement, an anonymous group of “survivors” immediately pivoted to saying they don’t want to testify. Yesterday’s Guardian headline:

\

Now they say they’ve already done their part, even though the anonymous survivors never complained when Representative Pressley demanded survivor hearings. Meanwhile, named survivors, like Lisa Phillips, went on CNN last night praising Melania’s statement as “huge” and noting that “nobody’s ever said that.”

And, just a second. I’m sorry, but I must ask: what’s with calling them survivors? None of the victims died. The only person who died was Jeffrey Epstein. Is that how they’re survivors? They outlived Jeffrey? Oh, never mind.

For some reason, the BBC topped its story with a full video of Melania’s statement. It’s like they didn’t quite know what to make of it or how to frame it. It came right out of left field. More importantly, it revived a flagging story. NBC’s Garrett Haake tweeted that the speech was “breathing new life into the Epstein saga.” Fox noted that Melania’s statement resurrected the Epstein story “just when it finally seemed to be fading, as the country’s attention is riveted on the Iran war and its shaky ceasefire.”

The tentative media narrative is currently hinting at some kind of secret schism between Melania and Trump; a disagreement to which neither has hinted, but drawing the conclusion that Melania is somehow working against her husband, who, the media believes, would prefer the story die in prison. (For example, Reuters ran a one-sentence story headlined, “Trump tells MS Now he did not ‘know anything about’ Melania’s statement.”)

I highly doubt any secret schism exists. More likely, Trump isn’t ready for the Epstein story to fade out. But if Trump pushed the story, trad-media would wave it away as “Trump weaponizing Epstein to distract from the Iran war.” So now appears Melania, courageously calling for survivor hearings and confounding reporters.

Corporate media keeps framing Epstein as Trump’s vulnerability. But every move the Trumps make suggests they see the story as a weapon. And weapons don’t get boxed up in the attic until the threat has been vaporized

Overall, it has been a positive week for the PM’s, with the “volatility” I expected.  Friday is always an important day and I would like to see a positive finish to the week.  If Gold can trade towards the $4900-$4925 area and Silver above $78 maybe even reaching near $80, it would be a good foundation, leading to a very positive outlook for next week.  If the metals are blah or weak today, then next week may be more of a sideways grind.

Every single one is deliberate table-setting for the biggest, highest-stakes negotiation of his presidency.

Stick with me until the end. You’ll see exactly what Trump is doing and why it’s brilliant.

DONT GIVE THE KARENS ANY IDEAS

Chador-clad women armed with assault rifles are patrolling the streets of Iran.

This is a deliberate show of force, meant to intimidate a population the regime still sees as its greatest threat to its survival.

State media is amplifying it, pushing it more aggressively, while placing women at the front lines of repression.

Before opening fire, they declared: ‘My life is for Iran.’”

Following in the footsteps of UK mass censorship

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s long-running corruption trial will resume on Sunday, now that the state of emergency order was lifted following the implementation of the two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran.

“With the lifting of the state of emergency and the return of the judicial system to work, hearings will resume as usual,” a statement from the court reads, adding that they will take place between Sundays ?and Wednesdays.

Netanyahu was ?the first sitting Israeli prime minister to be charged with a crime when the charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust were brought against him in 2019. The trial began in 2020 but has faced significant delays in part due to the various conflicts that have stemmed from the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks.

A recent change in Canadian citizenship laws now allows millions of US citizens to have the option to be eligible to become a citizen or have a passport from its northern neighbor.

According to Newsweek, people born outside Canada before December 15, 2025, when the bill came into effect, are now eligible for citizenship if they have a Canadian parent, grandparent, great-grandparent, or even great-great-grandparent.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, the Ottawa government agency that oversees the process, comments that it expects tens of thousands of applications in the following months.

Our First Lady, Melania Trump just said, and rightly so, what the entire country has been thinking. Epstein was not alone.

Every powerful person who thinks their name is buried in a sealed file should be very uncomfortable right now because the First Lady of the United States of America just put Congress on notice.

These women have been silenced, dismissed, and forgotten by a system that was designed to protect the guilty.

Congress has the authority, the platform, and the sworn testimony process to finally give these survivors their moment of truth in front of the entire world.

the emphasis on pain at the pump threatens to badly understate the economic damage of this war. And it helps feed the false impression that, if this new attempt at a ceasefire holds and the war ends somewhat quickly, gas prices will fall back down as fast as they rose, and then all the global economic turmoil the world’s been worrying about will be avoided.

It won’t. A lot of economic pain has already been locked in by this war. But to really understand it, it’s necessary to keep a few important economic truths at the front of our minds.

Unlike gas prices, these effects will take some time to develop—especially in the US, where our supply chain is momentarily protected from the initial impacts. And they won’t be as clearly tied to the war in the minds of most people. But the costs of all this economic destruction are real, they are substantial, and they are already locked in.

Trump threatening to “take out the entire country in one night” and bombing Iran’s power plants and bridges was actually one of his greatest plays of all time. I’m not exaggerating.

But most people lost their minds over Trump’s recent comments and post. And that’s because they lack a negotiation filter to make sense of him.

Trump has been aggressively scope-setting–establishing a ceiling so high and gruesome that everything below it would eventually look like a reasonable outcome.

I would even argue that this ceasefire wouldn’t have seemed reasonable at all had we not have had Trump’s Easter post. Think about it.

Imagine Trump never having threatened to blow Iran off the map, and the world spending 48 hours ruminating about it.

A ceasefire would’ve seemed mediocre. Not anymore.

It feels like Trump stopped WWIII. He put the image in everyone’s head that Iran was going to get sent back to the stone age. That didn’t happen, so a ceasefire and more negotiations seem like such a big win.

And here’s another move that nobody is talking about. Each time Trump extended a deadline (and he extended four of them) he wasn’t just buying time. He was letting the architecture get bigger.

Deadline one: US-Iran bilateral. Reopen the strait or face strikes.

Deadline two: Pakistan enters the channel. The conversation is no longer two parties; it’s three.

Deadline three: Pakistan hosts Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey in Islamabad. Now it’s a regional table.

Deadline four: the “Islamabad Accord” framework–a named document with regional backing and two phases.

By the time tonight arrived, Trump hadn’t just been negotiating with Iran. He’d been building a coalition of every major regional stakeholder around a shared interest in the outcome.

Saudi Arabia and the UAE have wanted Iran contained for decades. Egypt and Turkey wanted regional stability and a seat at the table. Pakistan wanted the credibility of brokering a historic deal.

In tonight’s post, Trump did something extraordinary: he announced the ceasefire “on behalf of the United States of America, as President, and also representing the Countries of the Middle East.”

He’s not brokering a US-Iran deal anymore. What he’s doing is positioning himself as the representative of a regional coalition–Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Turkey, Pakistan–all behind the framework that’s now being finalized.

The permanent deal, when it comes, won’t be Trump versus Iran. It’ll be Iran versus a bloc that includes every major power in the region, with Trump holding the pen.

Again, Trump went from a Strait of Hormuz negotiation to a Middle East security architecture. A week ago this didn’t seem possible. Even a few days ago it didn’t seem possible. And yet here we are.

Trump kept the ceiling high enough that the deal had room to grow into something much larger than where it started.

Trump is on an all-time run.

”””””””

There is a plan for this war and it’s working out exactly as America wants it to. Trumps post tonight is yet more proof of it.

The prevailing narrative is that America doesn’t know what it’s doing. That argument is BS.

This isn’t about Iran. America is resetting the global order and moving forward quickly with the Greater North America plan.

It is the end of globalism as we know it.

1. Middle East
– Iran is now choking the strait (tolls, threats) causing Middle Eastern oil to become less desirable (not a reliable source). Ramifications of the war will continue for years. Iran has attacked other Middle Eastern powers, now all on edge and openly aggressive. Iran weakened enough it can’t get nukes, but not enough it can’t cause serious problems. Continued chaos in the Strait for the foreseeable, bad for oil business in the Middle East (see oil leaders mtg Trump). Great for American oil.

2. Europe
– As energy crisis hits, Europe becomes more reliant on American oil and gas (due to above), good leverage for negotiations and long term debt ceiling (initially a worry) as europe is forced to buy more US debt if it wants energy deals. Ukraine war good long term as it knocks out Russia as energy supplier to Europe and keeps Russians weakened in attrition. Who does Europe turn to for oil? Only supplier left is America who now controls one of the largest oil producers in the world, Venezuela.

3. China
– America is in a serious trade/tariff war with China, its biggest rising global threat. 45% of China’s oil comes from the strait. Venezuela’s largest oil buyer was China (50%-80%). Who now has the upper hand in that negotiation? Mid-term, China has to play USA’s game.

4. Greenland
– NATO allies predictably failed to help, proves Trumps point they can’t be relied upon protect Greenland (take UK battleship already out of commission as an example) – don’t forget allies were all briefed that the war in Iran was coming, they walked into the trap. UK is a prime example, ask why so much focus from Trump on its failure to help? Because it’s a massive European power and the “special relationship” is a symbolic target.

5. South America (separate from Iran war but part of the same plan)
– USA has already begun working on removing enemies and anti-US regimes. See recent Shield of America’s mtg, financial support for Argentina, Venezuela and threats to Cuba. USA is securing is back garden and forcing China out permanently.

If you think all of that looks like America losing, then you’ll hate to see what winning looks like.

Their plan is working. This is the Greater North America project is in full swing, it’s part of a massive reset of the global order.

Netanyahu reiterated in a video address that Lebanon is not included in the ceasefire with Iran. He also said that the Lebanese government had made “repeated requests” to start “peace negotiations.”

Last night, Netanyahu instructed his cabinet to begin direct negotiations with Lebanon with the aim of achieving two goals: disarming Hezbollah and creating a lasting peace between Lebanon and Israel.

“We continue to strike Hezbollah with force, and we will not stop until we restore your security,” he said in the video address and added, “Israel is stronger than ever, Iran is weaker than ever.”

Public positions are shifting by the second in the ME

A long message attributed to Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei vowed to “not let go” of attackers, seek compensation and “avenge” the dead, warned it would take Hormuz Strait “to a new phase,” and urged Arab neighbors to “stand in the right place” and turn away from Western powers.

“Everyone must know that, God willing, we will certainly not let go of the criminal aggressors who attacked our country. We will definitely seek compensation for every damage inflicted, as well as blood money for the martyrs and compensation for the wounded of this war,” said the message marking the 40th day after Ali Khamenei’s death.
