On Saturday night, April 25, 2026, President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were rushed out of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner at the Washington Hilton after shots were fired.

President Trump and Vice President JD Vance are reportedly uninjured.

Several loud bangs were heard approximately five minutes into the dinner hour, causing hundreds of guests to duck under tables for cover.

It’s HEARTBREAKING to see the look of fear on our first lady’s face. She must be terrified that the left will never stop trying to end her husband’s life. The father of her only child. Pray for her🙏🏾

Law enforcement officials confirmed a shooter opened fire in the hotel lobby. Multiple reports indicate the suspect is dead after being engaged by the Secret Service.

JD Vance was pulled off the stage (right) and Trump was still sitting in his seat facing the crowd for another 10 seconds (left)…

The Secret Service continues to fail.

Protestor who attempted to ram President Trump’s vehicle motorcade while the shooting took place tonight at WHCD was wearing a Keffiyeh.

If this was a Muslim inspired shooting by a Palestinian or Iranian, people must be made to pay severely.

High-ranking officials, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, were also evacuated.

Heavily armed Secret Service agents and members of the National Guard secured the ballroom and the surrounding Hilton premises.

8:20 p.m.: President Trump, Melania Trump, and JD Vance entered the ballroom at the Washington Hilton.

8:30 p.m.: Loud bangs, described as four to five gunshots, were heard approximately five minutes into the dinner hour.

8:31 p.m.: Secret Service agents immediately rushed the President and First Lady off the stage.

8:45 p.m.: The presidential motorcade was seen leaving the hotel.

8:50 p.m.: Reports confirmed the shooter was “neutralized” in the hotel lobby.

BREAKING: U.S. Secret Service Agent Assigned to VP JD Vance Leaks Sensitive Security Information to Undercover Reporter.

Escotto is a holdover from the Biden administration and stated that he voted for Joe Biden, while expressing opposition to ICE & the Trump administration’s immigration policies. “I hate that [ICE] sh*t.”

Tomas Escotto, a current U.S. Secret Service agent on Vice President JD Vance’s protective detail, was recorded on hidden camera providing an undercover journalist with sensitive security information, including protective formations, shift schedules, travel plans, & real-time locations.

The Secret Service agent detailed how the Vice President is physically surrounded, described multiple daily shift changes, & disclosed advance security procedures.

In addition to past movements, the agent revealed future travel plans, sometimes days in advance. Escotto even sent images from Air Force Two while onboard with the Vice President.

Despite acknowledging that he signed paperwork prohibiting the disclosure of sensitive information, the Secret Service agent repeatedly shared details with someone he believed was a casual romantic interest.

While the safety of the Vice President and his family was always our top priority, what OMG uncovered raises serious questions about operational security, protocol compliance, and oversight within the U.S. Secret Service.

Our team coordinated with the U.S. Secret Service ahead of publication, redacted sensitive operational details at their request.

We were just informed Tomas Escotto has been placed on administrative leave with his clearance suspended and access to agency facilities and systems revoked.

Secret Service failures and sloppiness was exposed by @JamesOKeefeIII only 3 months ago, and which they snarked at in their official Statements made in response. But perhaps it tightened thing up just enough needed to save the President’s life tonight.

Tonight you’ve seen another mostly peaceful protest at the correspondent dinner in Washington DC.

The terrorist attempted assassin is from Torrence, California and you can count on right now enforcement having surrounded his home as they’re waiting for a search warrants. It’s gonna be interesting how this thing unfolds and what we find out about the clown.

Something I noticed even before coming into the #WHCADinner was that the security was only outside the ballroom inside, not outside the building. So the entrance of the building did not have a security machine only guards, you only went through the screening before the ballroom. @Newsweek

🚨🚨 SECRET SERVICE EXCLUSIVE: For the two weeks before the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ dinner, the Secret Service had been investigating a mystery shooting that took place near the White House the morning after Easter Sunday around 1-2 a.m.

The White House/President Trump has been demanding answers from the Secret Service – but the USSS has been at a loss.

The agency found rifle casings at K and I Streets, and had the license of the car, but no images of the shooter, and the license was stolen, according to multiple Secret Service sources.

The case had gone cold — to the frustration of the Secret Service and the White House.

Wolf Blitzer said on CNN that immediately after the evacuation, Trump personally ordered security to protect the entire media, including outlets that are often critical of him.

  • PoliticsOnX reacts to the April 2026 WHCD shooting incident—where gunshots prompted Trump’s safe evacuation— prioritizing concern for pregnant Second Lady Usha Vance and her unborn fourth child, noting no health updates available yet.
  • The post condemns the violence as “too far” and directly blames Democratic “violent rhetoric” for causing the event, rejecting any possibility of political unity with the party.
  • As a pro-MAGA account focused on breaking political news and commentary, it uses the moment to emphasize divine protection for the Vance family amid the chaos, including a related motorcade ramming attempt.

The White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooter was armed with a shotgun, handgun, and multiple knives, according to DC police chief Jeffrey Carroll.

The shooter was identified as 31-year-old teacher Cole Allen from Torrance, California.

The suspect emerged from a “makeshift room” near the entrance, where “there was no security” near where bar carts were stored, according to the New York Post.

“He was in that room… he grabbed it out of a bag or something.” The weapon “was long” and “didn’t look like a typical gun,” a witness who was a volunteer at the event told the Post.

It is reportedly believed that Allen was a guest at the Hilton hotel where the dinner took place.

-Did Cole discuss travel plans, the WHCD, or any weapons with you?
-Have you provided him money, a place to stay, or event access?
-Did you share any press credentials or D.C. contacts with him?
-Were you aware of his trip to Washington?

As I lay in bed struggling to stay awake, this man who is 79 years old is answering questions about why people keep trying to kill him at 11:00 pm on a Saturday night… and giving damn good answers too:

“I’ve studied assassinations and I must tell you, the most impactful people, the people that do the most… the people that make the biggest impact, they’re the ones that they go after. They don’t go after the ones that don’t do much, cause they like it that way.

And when you look at the people that have, whether it was an attempt, or a successful attempt, they’re very impactful people.”

God bless this man 🙏🇺🇸

The President almost just got assassinated and members of the media are using the opportunity to steal bottles of wine.

You don’t hate them enough!

Trump says one officer was shot tonight but is “doing great” — saved by a “really great bulletproof vest”

To the new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei:

The 31-year-old Californian arrested after the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner tonight – identified as Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance – is under FBI interrogation right now.

You’d better pray he has zero ties to the Islamic Republic, the IRGC, or any of your regime’s cutouts.

Because if even a single thread connects him to Tehran, the consequences will not be “proportional.” They will be decisive. Your father’s fate already proved America and Israel strike without hesitation when red lines are crossed on U.S. soil. A proxy hit at the President’s dinner would end the conversation permanently.

— Joseph Fosco
April 25, 2026

Moments before the situation unfolded at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Scott Jennings delivered a powerful reminder to the CNN panel about President Trump’s media access.

It’s a moment that now carries added weight given what followed.

JENNINGS: “I think journalism has never had more access to the leader of the free world than they have right now.”

“Everybody in that room, as was noted by the press secretary, has his cell phone number.”

“And lo and behold, he answers their calls!”

“He answers their questions in the Oval Office on a daily routine basis.”

“I mean, he answers questions on the tarmac.”

“He answers questions on the South Lawn.”

“You couldn’t pry access like this out of Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush or any other president.”

“And so if you just think of what is the job of journalism, and that is to take us inside the decision making process of the president of the United States, we’ve never had a more accessible president to get those answers than we have right now.”

The Bears are Going to Indiana According to Sources with Inside Information !!!

Posted on April 26, 2026 by royfmc

Uh oh…The Chicago Bears are moving to Indiana!

Respected Illinois political observer Thomas Devore says that multiple sources with direct knowledge of the negotiations are saying that the decision to move to Indiana has been is “effectively made”.

“The Bears are leaving for Indiana, drawn by a far more business-friendly environment and a state government that isn’t layering on uncertainty, taxes, and political gamesmanship.”

So, the bill Democrats and some Republicans approved on Wednesday that raises property taxes for all Illinois for the next 40 years, is all going to be for nothing. Your property taxes will still increase, but there will be no “Bears” to show for it in the state of Illinois.

Read more in Thomas Devore’s post on social media below.

Top points out, if this is true, and there’s little reason to believe insiders across different circles are all wrong, then the central justification for the megaprojects bill collapses.

ILLINOIS REPUBLICANS ELECTED OFFICIALS BEWARE!!!

The Democrats official pitch for Illinois’ so-called “mega-project” bill is straightforward: keep the Chicago Bears from leaving. But if you listen to people who are actually close to the situation, the true nature of what is seemingly going on starts to surface.

Multiple sources with direct knowledge of the negotiations are telling me the decision is effectively made. The Bears are leaving for Indiana, drawn by a far more business-friendly environment and a state government that isn’t layering on uncertainty, taxes, and political gamesmanship. If that’s true, and there’s little reason to believe insiders across different circles are all wrong, then the central justification for this bill collapses. So why are the Democrats pushing it anyway? One of Rahm Emanuel’s famous statements starts ringing true. Don’t let a good crisis go to waste.

Because it is all but certain this bill was never really about the Bears. Look at its scope. This isn’t a targeted stadium incentive. It’s a massive, statewide framework designed to subsidize large private developments with public backing. It opens the door for billions in incentives, shifting financial risk onto taxpayers under the banner of “economic development” to save the Bears. The Bears are just the headline as it’s useful, emotional, and politically convenient.

If Democrat lawmakers already know the team is gone, then invoking the Bears starts to look less like urgency and more like strategy. It’s a sales pitch. A way to manufacture pressure. A way to make opposing the bill seem like you’re responsible for “losing the Bears,” even if that outcome is already baked in.

There’s also the bipartisan angle. By tying the bill to something as high-profile as the Bears, Democrats are pulling in Republican votes especially from districts where the team still carries cultural weight. If the Democrats succeed, they get to label the final product “bipartisan,” spreading political ownership and insulating themselves from future criticism when the costs come due for massive taxpayer financed projects that have nothing to do with the Bears. .

If the goal is to create a permanent mechanism to subsidize large projects across the state, then that debate should happen in the open, on its own merits. However, lawmakers are wrapping it in the urgency of a departing NFL franchise, one that by many credible accounts, has already made up its mind. And that’s the part that should concern taxpayers most because the real special interests groups (corporations and unions) behind the scenes don’t want to surface! Their token special interest group is the Bears carrying the water for who really wants this bill.

After the Bears leave, which is almost certainly the case according to insiders, we will all be left with a far-reaching piece of legislation that was sold under false urgency, expanding public exposure to private risk for years to come.

I encourage all Republican elected officials to vote NO for any legislation that expands the scope of this bill beyond only what is necessary to make a fair proposal to the Bears. If the Democrats push back, then you will all know my suspicions which are supported by insider knowledge is correct.

A Very Special Generation—-A big round of applause to all the members of a very special generation, which will be UNIQUE!!!!🙏🙏🙏

Posted on April 24, 2026 by royfmc

They call us “The Elderly”
We were born in the 40-50-60’s.
We grew up in the 50-60-70’s.
We studied in the 60-70-80’s.
We were dating in the 70-80-90’s.
We got married and discovered the world in the 70-80-90’s.
We venture into the 80-90’s.
We stabilize in the 2000’s.
We got wiser in the 2010’s.
And we are going firmly through and beyond 2020.


Turns out we’ve lived through EIGHT different decades..
TWO different centuries..
TWO different millennia..
We have gone from the telephone with an operator for long–distance calls to video calls to anywhere in the world.
We have gone from slides to YouTube, from vinyl records to online music, from handwritten letters to email and Whats App.
From live matches on the radio, to black and white TV, colour TV and then to 3D HD TV.
We went to the Video store and now we watch Netflix.
We got to know the first computers, punch cards, floppy disks and now we have gigabytes and megabytes on our smartphones.
We wore shorts throughout our childhood and then long trousers, Oxfords, flares, shell suits & blue jeans..
We dodged infantile paralysis, meningitis, polio, tuberculosis, swine flu and now COVID-19.
We rode skates, tricycles, bicycles, mopeds, petrol or diesel cars and now we drive hybrids or electric..
Yes, we’ve been through a lot but what a great life we’ve had!
They could describe us as “exennials,” people who were born in that world of the fifties, who had an analog childhood and a digital adulthood.
We’ve kind of “Seen-It-All”!
Our generation has literally lived through and witnessed more than any other in every dimension of life..
It is our generation that has literally adapted to “CHANGE.”
A big round of applause to all the members of a very special generation, which will be UNIQUE!!!!
🙏🙏🙏

US Supreme Court Justice Jackson is Confused in Her Court Opinions

Posted on April 24, 2026 by royfmc

I don’t recall any recent Supreme Court opinion that so directly denounces and renounces a dissent, in this case by the leftist Biden appointee Justice Jackson:

JUSTICE JACKSON, however, chooses a startling line of attack that is tethered neither to these sources nor, frankly, to any doctrine whatsoever. Waving away attention to the limits on judicial power as a “mind-numbingly technical query,” post, at 3 (dissenting opinion), she offers a vision of the judicial role that would make even the most ardent defender of judicial supremacy blush.

In her telling, the fundamental role of courts is to “order everyone (including the Executive) to follow the law—full stop.” Post, at 2; see also post, at 10 (“[T]he function of the courts—both in theory and in practice—necessarily includes announcing what the law requires in . . . suits for the benefit of all who are protected by the Constitution, not merely doling out relief to injured private parties”); see also post, at 11, n. 3, 15. And, she warns, if courts lack the power to “require the Executive to adhere to law universally,” post, at 15, courts will leave a “gash in the basic tenets of our founding charter that could turn out to be a mortal wound,” post, at 12.

Rhetoric aside, JUSTICE JACKSON’s position is difficult to pin down. She might be arguing that universal injunctions are appropriate—even required—whenever the defendant is part of the Executive Branch. See, e.g., post, at 3, 10–12, 16–18. If so, her position goes far beyond the mainstream defense of universal injunctions. See, e.g., Frost, 93 N. Y. U. L. Rev., at 1069 (“Nationwide injunctions come with significant costs and should never be the default remedy in cases challenging federal executive action”). As best we can tell, though, her argument is more extreme still, because its logic does not depend on the entry of a universal injunction: JUSTICE JACKSON appears to believe that the reasoning behind any court order demands “universal adherence,” at least where the Executive is concerned. Post, at 2 (dissenting opinion). In her law-declaring vision of the judicial function, a district court’s opinion is not just persuasive, but has the legal force of a judgment. But see Haaland v. Brackeen, 599 U. S. 255, 294 (2023) (“It is a federal court’s judgment, not its opinion, that remedies an injury”). Once a single district court deems executive conduct unlawful, it has stated what the law requires. And the Executive must conform to that view, ceasing its enforcement of the law against anyone, anywhere.17
We will not dwell on JUSTICE JACKSON’s argument, which is at odds with more than two centuries’ worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself.

We observe only this: JUSTICE JACKSON decries an imperial Executive while embracing an imperial Judiciary. No one disputes that the Executive has a duty to follow the law. But the Judiciary does not have unbridled authority to enforce this obligation—in fact, sometimes the law prohibits the Judiciary from doing so. See, e.g., Marbury v. Madison, 1 Cranch 137 (1803) (concluding that James Madison had violated the law but holding that the Court lacked jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus ordering him to follow it). But see post, at 15 (JACKSON, J., dissenting) (“If courts do not have the authority to require the Executive to adhere to law universally, . . . compliance with law sometimes becomes a matter of Executive prerogative”). Observing the limits on judicial authority—including, as relevant here, the boundaries of the Judiciary Act of 1789—is required by a judge’s oath to follow the law.

JUSTICE JACKSON skips over that part. Because analyzing the governing statute involves boring “legalese,” post, at 3, she seeks to answer “a far more basic question of enormous practical significance: May a federal court in the United States of America order the Executive to follow the law?” Ibid. In other words, it is unecessary to consider whether Congress has constrained the Judiciary; what matters is how the Judiciary may constrain the Executive. JUSTICE JACKSON would do well to heed her own admonition: “[E]veryone, from the President on down, is bound by law.” Ibid. That goes for judges too.

Partner gets divorced at 64. Ugly. Wife cheating. He’s devastated.

Divorce settlement: She gets 30% of the business. He keeps 20%. His partner still has 50%.

Now there are three owners. Ex-wife holds the swing vote on everything.

He wants to sell to his partner’s son who’s been running it for 10 years.

Ex-wife votes no. “I want market price. Outside buyer.”
She’s already talking to private equity. They’ll gut it and flip it.

The son loses everything he’s built.

The buy-sell agreement? Written in 1987. Says nothing about divorce.

No life insurance funding. No valuation updates. No divorce triggers.

Just says “in the event of death or disability.”
Divorce wasn’t death or disability.

He’s 64. Healthy. Could live another 25 years watching his ex-wife destroy what they built.

Him to his partner: “How could you let this happen?”

Partner: “I didn’t think she’d get any of the business.”
40 years of friendship. Ended by a divorce attorney who read their buy-sell in 20 minutes.

Being a lawyer is professionally managing problems you didn’t create.

Helium Shortage Shutting Down MRI Medical Machines

Posted on April 19, 2026 by royfmc

Everyone is watching the Strait of Hormuz for oil and fertilizer. Almost nobody has noticed that it is also shutting down MRI machines, semiconductor fabs, and the global aerospace supply chain.

Helium. The second lightest element in the universe. No substitute exists for it. You cannot synthesize it. You cannot replace it. And roughly one-third of the world’s supply just went offline.

Qatar produces 30 to 33 percent of global helium as a byproduct of LNG processing at Ras Laffan, home to the largest helium production facilities on Earth. When the Hormuz blockade triggered LNG force majeure declarations and attacks hit Qatari infrastructure, the helium stopped flowing with it. Prices have doubled in spot markets. And helium has a property that makes this crisis structurally different from oil, fertilizer, or any other commodity caught behind the strait.

It evaporates. Continuously. Even in sealed containers, helium boils off. The global supply chain operates on roughly 45 days of buffer before existing inventory simply ceases to exist. You cannot stockpile helium the way you stockpile crude oil in salt caverns or grain in silos. If the supply stops for six weeks, the buffer is gone. Not depleted. Gone. Returned to the atmosphere where it is too diffuse to economically recapture.

This is why the industries that depend on helium are facing a crisis that no financial instrument can solve.

Semiconductor manufacturing requires ultra-pure helium for wafer cooling in lithography and for leak detection in sub-5-nanometre chip fabrication. TSMC, Samsung, and Intel cannot produce advanced processors without it. Every AI chip, every smartphone processor, every data centre GPU in the current generation traces its manufacturing lineage through a helium-cooled process. If fabs run dry, the production lines stop. Not slow. Stop.

MRI machines require liquid helium to cool superconducting magnets to near absolute zero. Hospitals cannot substitute another gas. When helium supply tightens, MRI availability falls. During previous shortages, hospitals rationed scans. A sustained one-third supply cut puts diagnostic imaging capacity at risk across every healthcare system that depends on magnetic resonance.

Aerospace depends on helium for purging rocket fuel systems, pressurising tanks, and testing for leaks in systems where failure means explosion. NASA, SpaceX, ULA, and every launch provider in the Western world runs on helium. Fibre optic cable manufacturing requires helium atmospheres. Quantum computing research requires helium-3 isotopes for cryogenic cooling.

The US is the world’s largest helium producer and has some buffer capacity. Algeria and Russia produce meaningful volumes. Overland rerouting from Qatar through Oman and Saudi Arabia is theoretically possible but logistically slow and capacity-limited. None of these alternatives can replace one-third of global supply within the 45-day evaporation window that defines the crisis timeline.

The same 21-mile strait that is starving the food system is now threatening the technological infrastructure of modern civilization. The fertilizer trapped behind Hormuz determines whether four billion people eat. The helium trapped behind Hormuz determines whether the chips powering the AI revolution get manufactured, whether cancer patients receive diagnostic scans, and whether rockets carrying communications satellites reach orbit.

One chokepoint. Two invisible supply chains. Both irreplaceable. Both operating on biological or physical deadlines that no ceasefire retroactively extends.

The world built petroleum reserves. It never built fertilizer reserves. It never built helium reserves either.

The pattern keeps repeating. The lesson keeps being ignored.

American Taxpayers Are Funding Their Replacement Thru Catholic Charities

Posted on April 18, 2026 by royfmc

🚨Pay Attention, USA !!!

You may have seen this smiling face all over Catholic Charities’ social media this fall.

Meet Dr. Ismat Rashid Kaakar, Afghan Refugee Program Coordinator at Catholic Charities of Central & Northern Missouri.

He arrived in America from Afghanistan as a Fulbright Scholar in 2019. Two months after earning his Master’s in Health Administration from Mizzou, he was hired by Catholic Charities… to resettle more Afghan refugees.

In his own words (KOMU 8 interview):

“This is an opportunity for me, because before going back to my career, this is the time that I could use to help refugees from my home country.”

Exactly.

Another Afghan Muslim, brought in as a “refugee”/scholar, now sits in a key position inside an officially Catholic organization, using its name, its crucifix, and your tax dollars to import wave after wave of his own people.

This is the same nationwide:

Catholic Charities (and Lutheran Social Services) hire the very Muslim refugees they resettle because “they speak the language.” Those hires rise, take over the programs, and turn “faith-based” charities into Muslim import machines, all while keeping the Catholic branding for cover.

Missouri is now on the list right next to Utah, North Carolina, Texas, Indiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and D.C.

This is conquest with a smile and a Catholic logo.

Christian organizations are being hollowed out from the inside.

American taxpayers are funding their own replacement.

🚨 ALERT: TROJAN HORSE IN MORMON UTAH – WE ARE BEING REPLACED!

Somali Muslim Aden Batar Runs “Catholic” Refugee Machine Funded by LDS Tithing, Producing DSA Candidate Liban Mohamed

A 27-year-old Democratic Socialist, the son of Somali immigrants who came to America, and a proud Muslim, just announced his run for Congress in what was supposed to be one of America’s reddest districts.

His name is Liban Mohamed, and he is the political face of Utah’s rapidly expanding Somali Bantu Muslim community.

⚠️That community did not grow by accident.

Meet Aden Batar, Somali Muslim refugee turned Director of Migration & Refugee Services at Catholic Community Services of Utah. (Say What!?)

He was resettled by them in 1994. Now he runs the entire program, alongside his deputy, Khalid Al Hachami (another Muslim), bringing more Muslim refugees into Utah under a Catholic label.

But listen to Batar himself in a recent talk:

“As a Muslim and also working for [the Catholic] organization… every single bed that they sleep with comes from the LDS Church… As a Muslim when 9/11 happened… the first person that reached to us at our mosque was the leadership from the LDS Church… ‘We are here with you… if one religion is attacked, all religions [are] attacked.’ It gives me a lot of comfort to live in this community… I’ve never felt that I’m in the minority here.”

He openly admits: He’s a Muslim running a “Catholic” refugee machine.

Every bed for the hundreds of refugees they import comes from the LDS (Mormon) Church.

Notice the narrative: Right after 9/11, while America was still reeling from radical Islamic terror, Batar portrays Muslims as the primary victims in need of Christian support and protection.

Meanwhile, the very system he now oversees continues bringing in more refugees from the same regions.

This is the Red-Green Axis in action:

Radical leftists (the “Red”) and Islamic movements (the “Green”) are working in alignment, leveraging Christian compassion, taxpayer dollars, and interfaith goodwill.

🔥Meanwhile, Batar also leads the Islamic Society of Greater Salt Lake 🔥

When an American/Israeli flag appeared at a local mosque last year, he issued a statement, in his official capacity at Catholic Community Services, calling it a “hate crime.”

This is the pipeline:

Christian compassion and taxpayer dollars → resettlement infrastructure → administered by Muslim leadership → expanding communities → producing the next generation of political candidates like Liban Mohamed.

Utah’s well-known culture of generosity is playing a central role in this transformation.

This is demographic and political shift driven through resettlement systems.

Americans Are The 37th Tallest in the World After Facing Height Stagnation

Posted on April 18, 2026 by royfmc

In 1776, when the American colonies broke from the British Empire, the average American man was 5’9″.

This was three inches taller than the average Englishman. It was taller than the Dutch, taller than the French, taller than the Swedes. George Washington, at 6’2″, was tall by any standard, but his soldiers were not the Lilliputians the popular image suggests. At 5’7″ the average Continental Army private was significantly taller than a typical European soldier, because he had grown up on a diet that the typical European soldier had not.

The American military has been measuring its recruits since the Revolutionary War.

In 1776, the average Continental soldier was taller than the average European soldier.
In 1950, the average American draftee was taller than any European conscript.
In 2026, the US military has a recruitment crisis partly attributed to the physical condition of the available pool.

The diet changed in between.

The records are public.

Nobody is connecting the columns.

The diet was meat. Dairy. Eggs from the back garden. Game from the woods that belonged to nobody. The abundance of colonial America, where the protein was not controlled by a landlord or rationed by a church or restricted by a forest law, had produced a population that was, by the skeletal standards of the eighteenth century, the tallest on earth.

Americans stayed the tallest people in the world for nearly two hundred years.

Then they stopped.

American height plateaued in the 1950s. It has not meaningfully increased since. The average American man born in 1996 is approximately 5’9″, which is the same height as the average American man born in 1950, and roughly the same height as the average American man in 1776.

In the same period, the Dutch grew six inches. The Scandinavians grew five. The Germans grew four. The South Koreans grew nearly four. One by one, the European populations that had been shorter than Americans in 1900 overtook them. The Dutch, who had been among the shortest Europeans in 1860, are now the tallest people on earth at an average of 6 foot for men. Americans have dropped to 37th.

Thirty-seventh.

The richest country in the history of the world, spending more per capita on food than almost any other nation, is now shorter than the Dutch, the Danes, the Norwegians, the Swedes, the Germans, the Croatians, the Czechs, the Estonians, the Latvians, the Lithuanians, the Slovenians, the Montenegrins, the Bosnians, the Serbs, the Icelanders, the Belgians, the Austrians, the Swiss, the Australians, the New Zealanders, the Canadians, the Bermudans, and the Finns.

The conventional explanation blames inequality. Healthcare access. Poverty. These are real factors. They are also downstream of something more fundamental.
The American diet changed.

In the 1950s, the average American ate butter, whole milk, eggs, and red meat as the nutritional backbone of the diet. By the 1990s, the average American was eating margarine, skimmed milk, egg whites, chicken breast, and a long list of processed foods that had been reformulated to remove animal fat and replace it with sugar and seed oil, because the dietary guidelines had told them to.

The Dutch, in the same period, continued eating dairy. Full-fat dairy. Roughly a kilogram per person per day. Cheese for breakfast. Cheese for lunch. Milk with dinner. Butter on everything. The Dutch ignored the American dietary guidelines and kept eating the food that was making them tall.

The Americans followed the guidelines and stopped growing.

The Dutch ignored the guidelines and became the tallest people on earth.

The experiment has been running for fifty years. It is running in real time. The results are in the conscription records and the school growth charts and the anthropometric surveys that are published every year and that nobody in a position to update the dietary guidance appears to be reading.

America was the tallest country on earth when it was eating butter.

America is the 37th tallest country on earth now that it is eating the guidelines.

The guidelines have not been updated.

The Dutch are still eating the cheese.

Key Points from the U.S. Military’s Miraculous Rescue Press Conference:

Posted on April 7, 2026 by royfmc

When it was announced that Trump spent over $600 million dollars to safely evacuate the ejected airman, a lot of people criticised him.

But the thing here is that, Trump wasn’t just evacuating an American soldier; he was denying Iran what would have been the greatest leverage of the war.

A leverage more important than closing the Strait of Hormuz.

That $600 million dollars did not only rescue the airman, it energised Trump and put him in a better position to discuss deals with Iran.

This was not about the $600 million dollars; it was about preserving the dignity of the US before the judging eyes of the world.

Trump perfectly understood this assignment.

Key Points from the U.S. Military’s Miraculous Rescue Press Conference:

  1. On Friday at 5:40 a.m. local time in Iran, a U.S. F-15E fighter jet was hit by a shoulder-fired heat-seeking missile. The missile struck the jet’s engine nozzle, causing an explosion. Trump said it was “pure luck.”
  2. The pilot and weapons officer ejected and parachuted to safety, but because the plane was moving at extremely high speed, the two landed far apart.
  3. Upon learning of the incident, some military generals opposed the rescue (“It could result in over a hundred casualties; the risk is too great”), but President Trump decided to launch a full-scale rescue effort, supported by General Caine and Secretary of War Hegseth. The plan was formulated by the U.S. Central Command.
  4. Two hours later, 21 aircraft were deployed. On Friday in broad daylight, they charged into Iran under a hail of Iranian gunfire to save the men. A helicopter was damaged, and after an A-10 attack aircraft was hit, the pilot struggled to fly it into Kuwaiti territory before ejecting, crashing the plane inside Kuwait.
  5. After the U.S. successfully rescued the first man, no specific details were released. But within an hour, someone in the government leaked the news that “one man is still unrescued” to the media. Once the media published it, Iran quickly dispatched a large force to capture him.
  6. President Trump said: We will track down the leaker. If the media won’t tell us who it is, we’ll send their people to jail because they threatened national security and put the pilot and rescue personnel in danger.
  7. The second man was already injured upon landing. He bandaged himself, then moved away from the landing site and climbed up into the mountains.
  8. CIA officials learned via the pilot’s beeper that the second man was still out there, but they didn’t know where. They combed through satellite imagery in a “needle in a haystack” search—using Trump’s words, “finding a needle in a haystack”—and finally spotted a moving figure. After tracking this person climbing higher for 45 minutes, the CIA concluded: This is our weapons officer.
  9. CIA Director Ratcliffe immediately notified the Secretary of War, who notified the president. The Trump administration issued the order: Full-scale rescue!
  10. Immediately, 155 aircraft were mobilized, including four bombers, 64 fighter jets, 48 aerial refueling tankers, and 13 rescue aircraft. Among them, two C-130 Hercules transport planes landed at a farm 250 kilometers southwest of Iran, near Kuwait, unloading rescue personnel and helicopters.
  11. After the weapons officer stopped on a ridgeline, his first words were: God Is Good! He then hid in a crevice between rocks on the mountaintop for a full day and night.
  12. The U.S. military set up decoys, staging rescue operations in seven different areas to confuse the Iranian search forces, leaving them unsure where the weapons officer was. The CIA also spread false information, causing the Iranian troops to head in the wrong direction and miss their target.
  13. Rescue forces established a safety perimeter around the weapons officer’s actual location, eliminating anyone who approached. They finally found him in the rock crevice on the mountaintop and airlifted him out by helicopter.
  14. When all personnel and equipment returned to the C-130s at the farm and were ready for takeoff, they discovered that the wheels of both planes were stuck in the wet sand and couldn’t take off.
  15. The military immediately activated the backup plan, flying in three lighter, faster replacement aircraft. The troops quickly disassembled three light helicopters from the stuck C-130s and mounted them onto the new planes, loaded the personnel, and flew away.

One plane came and went every 15 minutes, and after 45 minutes, all three planes successfully departed!

The entire operation lasted 45 hours and 56 minutes.

Reports say President Trump went two days without sleep for this rescue.

When Trump discussed the Iran rescue operation, he revealed that Iran originally had no idea that U.S. military personnel were missing. The information released by the CIA consistently stated that only one pilot had ejected and had already been successfully rescued.

In reality, the CIA was working to pinpoint the location of the second downed flight officer, while the Department of Defense was formulating a rescue plan.

As a result, someone within the U.S. leaked the information, telling the media that another pilot was hiding in the mountains.

This tipped off Iran that a U.S. military pilot was on the run, and the Iranian side issued a bounty of up to 100 million Iranian currency—equivalent to $60,000—in an attempt to capture the American flight officer.

This immediately made it much more difficult for the U.S. military to rescue this colonel flight officer. After the U.S. military succeeded in the rescue, Trump didn’t hesitate to draw up a new strike plan against Iran, which we’ll see play out soon.

As for the leaker, Trump stated that if the media didn’t publicly disclose the leaker’s identity, the media would bear criminal responsibility, and the leaker would absolutely go to prison. Trump’s exact words were: “The people doing the reporting at the media, if they don’t reveal the leaker’s identity, they’re going to prison!”

🚨 The media outlet who published the US had only saved ONE of two F-15 airmen—risking the mission to save the second—was Israel’s Channel 12, per NYP

The reporter, Amit Segal, just told NYP he “will protect my sources,” despite President Trump’s threats

Segal cited “western sources” in his post (as opposed to “US sources”), and a second Israeli reporter, Ariel Kahana, later specified the news came from “Israeli sources”

President Trump made clear today he’s HELLBENT on jailing the leaker.

Israel MUST hand these sources over to the US Department of Justice.

HUNDREDS of our troops could’ve been KlLLED by this leak.

Illinois Under Pritzker

Posted on April 4, 2026 by royfmc

Let’s discuss good ole J.B. Pritzker. He likes to see himself in the spotlight, so let’s up the wattage on that and take a look at what’s there.

Pritzker is a $𝟑.𝟗 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 Hyatt hotel heir who wants you to believe he turned Illinois around. Before he launches his next political vanity project, every American deserves to see what he actually did to the fifth-largest state in the union.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐓𝐚𝐱 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐞

Before he was governor, Pritzker bought a $𝟑.𝟕 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 next door to his Gold Coast home in Chicago. In 2015, he had 𝐟𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐭 so the Cook County assessor would classify it as “uninhabitable” — dropping the assessed value from $𝟔.𝟑 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 $𝟏.𝟏 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 (Cook County Inspector General). The inspector general called it a “𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘶𝘥” taxpayers. Total savings from the scheme: $𝟑𝟑𝟏,𝟎𝟎𝟎 in property tax refunds and reductions (Fox 32 Chicago). He repaid it. Federal investigators later opened a criminal probe into the tax appeals (Illinois Policy Institute). No charges were filed — but the man who would go on to lecture Illinoisans about paying their “fair share” literally removed toilets from a mansion to dodge his own property taxes.

𝐏𝐨𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐄𝐱𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐬

Since 2000, Illinois has lost a net 𝟏.𝟔 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 to domestic outmigration (IRS). Under Pritzker alone, the bleeding accelerated. IRS data for 2022 shows 𝟖𝟕,𝟑𝟏𝟏 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐭 in a single year, taking $𝟗.𝟗 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐝𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 with them (IRS Migration Data). The income gap between those leaving and those arriving grew from $5,519 per person in 2010 to $𝟑𝟕,𝟗𝟐𝟐 𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 in 2022 — meaning Illinois is hemorrhaging its highest earners. In 2024, 𝟗𝟓% 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 fled to states with lower tax burdens (Wirepoints). Illinois already lost one congressional seat after the 2020 Census — it is on track to lose another in 2030 (Illinois Policy Institute).

𝐓𝐡𝐞 $𝟏𝟒𝟓 𝐁𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫

Illinois has $𝟏𝟒𝟓.𝟓 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 in unfunded pension liabilities — 𝟔𝟐% 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 than California, the second-worst state (Equable Institute). Its pension systems are funded at just 𝟓𝟎.𝟖% — the lowest funding ratio in America. Unfunded liabilities as a share of GDP stand at 𝟐𝟏% — by far the worst figure in the nation (Americans for Prosperity). The median Illinois household already pays $𝟏𝟑,𝟎𝟗𝟗 in state and local taxes per year — $𝟒,𝟒𝟕𝟐 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 than the national average (Tax Foundation). And Pritzker’s pension “reform”? He’s sticking to a plan that won’t fully fund the systems until 𝟐𝟎𝟒𝟓 (Capitol News Illinois). That’s not a fix. That’s a 20-year prayer.

$𝟐.𝟓 𝐁𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐢𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 — 𝟑𝐱 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐕𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬

An estimated 𝟓𝟏,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 arrived in Chicago from the southern border. By the end of 2025, Illinois will have spent over $𝟐.𝟓 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 on their care — roughly $𝟒𝟗,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭 (Illinois Policy Institute, Fox 32 Chicago). Over $1.6 billion went to migrant healthcare alone through July 2024 — “𝘧𝘢𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥” (Illinois Comptroller). For context, that $2.5 billion is roughly 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 what Illinois spends on veterans’ services (IL House Republicans). The state is spending three dollars on someone who crossed the border illegally for every one dollar it spends on someone who served the country.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐲𝐚𝐫𝐝

Boeing. Caterpillar. Citadel. Tyson. Guggenheim Partners. TTX. All gone. Boeing moved to Virginia. Caterpillar — headquartered in Illinois for nearly 𝟏𝟎𝟎 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 — moved 230 jobs to Texas. Citadel CEO Ken Griffin took his $36 billion hedge fund to Miami, citing crime and a hostile business environment. Since 1994, Illinois has lost 𝟐,𝟔𝟏𝟔 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 to other states, with the rate 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜 (Illinois Policy Institute). The Tax Foundation found Illinois’ business climate dropped 𝟏𝟎 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐬 in five years — the only Midwestern state to decline — after Pritzker imposed $𝟔𝟓𝟎 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐱𝐞𝐬 during a pandemic recovery. When asked about Ken Griffin leaving, Pritzker’s response was essentially “𝘩𝘦’𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮 𝘯𝘰𝘸” to Florida (Free Beacon). That’s the governor of the fifth-largest state celebrating the departure of his wealthiest taxpayer.

𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐨𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐝, 𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐃𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝

From 2013 to 2024, Illinois increased K-12 education spending by $𝟏𝟎 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 — 𝐚 𝟒𝟒% 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 — while enrollment 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝟏𝟎% (Illinois Policy Institute). Chicago Public Schools saw instructional spending per student jump 𝟒𝟖% in four years — from $10,314 to $15,274 (CPS Data). The result? Roughly 𝐨𝐧𝐞-𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐝 of Illinois fourth and eighth graders score at or above proficiency in reading and math on the NAEP — a rate that “𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘥 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 20 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴” (NPR Illinois). Both reading and math scores were 𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐂𝐎𝐕𝐈𝐃. They spent billions more. They got the same results. In some cases, worse.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 $𝟓𝟖 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐕𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐓𝐚𝐱

In 2020, Pritzker spent $𝟓𝟖 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 pushing a graduated income tax amendment he called the “Fair Tax” (NPR Illinois). Illinois voters rejected it — it got just 𝟒𝟓% of the vote, far short of the 60% supermajority needed to amend the constitution (WTTW). A $3.9 billion man spent $58 million trying to raise taxes on everyone else. The voters said no. His response? He warned of “𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘤𝘶𝘵𝘴” — as if the state’s fiscal ruin was the voters’ fault for rejecting his plan.

While Pritzker imposed a statewide stay-at-home order on 12.7 million Illinoisans, his wife and daughter were in 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚. When they returned, they went to the family’s 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐢𝐧 𝐖𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐧 (Pantagraph, NBC Chicago). His defense? Taking care of horses is “𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘧𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯” (CBS Chicago). Meanwhile, small business owners were being fined for opening their doors. Restaurants were shuttered. Churches were locked. But the billionaire governor’s family was in Florida, then tending to their horses across state lines. Rules for thee.

Pritzker signed the SAFE-T Act, making Illinois the 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚 to abolish cash bail entirely (ABC7 Chicago).

Law enforcement across the state warned the law would put dangerous criminals back on the street. Pritzker dismissed the criticism.

Despite 10 credit upgrades under Pritzker, Illinois 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 of any state in the nation (Yahoo Finance). Its Moody’s rating of A2 sits 𝐟𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐧𝐤 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐬. Over the prior 15 years, the state received 𝟐𝟒 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐬 (Illinois Policy Institute). During the Rauner-era budget impasse, both Moody’s and S&P dropped Illinois to one notch above junk — the 𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐔.𝐒. 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞. Pritzker inherited a dumpster fire and brought it up to a controlled burn. It’s still on fire.

This is J.B. Pritzker’s Illinois. The toilets were removed. The businesses left. The taxpayers fled and took $9.9 billion in one year. The pension debt is $145 billion and climbing. The migrants cost $2.5 billion — three times what they spend on veterans. The schools spent $10 billion more and got the same failing scores. He blew $58 million of his own money on a tax hike voters rejected, then blamed the voters. His family went to Florida while yours couldn’t go to work.

And through it all — every dollar lost, every business gone, every resident who packed up — he still has the lowest credit rating in America.
