[BLAZE] Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky announced on Friday that his wife Rhonda passed away on Thursday.
"Yesterday my high school sweetheart, the love of my life for over 35 years, the loving mother of our 4 children, the smartest kindest woman I ever knew, my beautiful and wise queen forever, Rhonda went to Heaven. Thank you for your prayers for our family in this difficult time," the lawmaker tweeted.
"She was valedictorian at our high school where we went to the Prom together, accepted at MIT and Harvard, earned a Mechanical Engineering degree from MIT, and devoted her life to our family," he added. "We spent last week touring Mt Rainier with our grandson - she was the best mammaw ever! We love you Rhonda," Massie wrote.
Back in late August 2022, the congressman posted about their 29th anniversary, writing, "Happy 29th Anniversary today to my high school sweetheart & lovely wife. Who else could be valedictorian of her high school class, solve differential equations at MIT, run a farm, can green beans, bake apple pies, set tobacco, rake hay, raise 4 perfect kids, and tolerate me?!"
Condolences have been pouring in on social media.
"I was in Massie's office just yesterday afternoon," Blaze Media's Steve Baker noted. "I had a scheduled appointment with him and other members of his staff. His chief of staff messaged me just before I arrived and said his boss had to go to Kentucky for a 'family emergency.' The meeting went on with the staffers, and they showed no sign of this tragedy. (They may not have even known.) I even joked with them that Massie needed to clean his desk - which was piled high with papers and books and other junk. One staffer said, 'We always make him clean it before the August recess.' My gut aches right now. Prayers up for Thomas Massie and his family."

Mossad motto: "it's never a coincidence"
Just in case you don't know who he is, here you can get a taste of the ugly antisemitic conspiracy theories this piece of shit was pushing.
You know what I find odd about all of this? Thomas Massie disclosed info I do not think was supposed to get out regarding congress having an AIPAC handler who has influence on all of their policy decision making. Which is an extreme detail that is not being brought up about this… pic.twitter.com/JqvYfVtxMe

I watched the interview about a week ago. It was my first introduction to Massie. He made a lot of good points. Borgia has done us a great service.

For all you goy Semites, good news:
Your McCoy's now defending the Jews
In a sarcasm dark
And obscure as his mark...

Sadly, all the pharmaceutical potential is wasted on me. I just enjoy the outlandish appearance and smell of the blooms (foliage is mildly disgusting). My parents had a dense little grove of it that couldn't have been much more than a couple of hundred square feet in extent and fifteen or twenty feet high, but it was like a whole other world in there. Dunno why I suddenly decided to spell it with two Ns. Is this Monday?
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Employees of a multistate rehab company have been left in the dark after several facilities shut across the country following the suicides of the two top executives.
Retreat Behavioral Health, which has facilities in Florida, Philadelphia and Connecticut, abruptly closed their facility in Palm Beach, Florida, last week. Employees told WPTV that around 100 mental health and substance use patients were told to pack up and leave, including 30 who had nowhere to go.
Facilities in Lancaster County, PA, and New Haven, CT, have also since shuttered following the deaths of CEO Peter Schorr and CAO Scott Korogodsky.
Korogodsky had taken up the leadership of the company after Schorr killed himself at his home in Delray Beach, according to LancasterOnline.
Days after Schorr died, Korogodsky also killed himself life - according to the Palm Beach County Medical Examiner's Office.
Lissa Franklin, the VP of Southeast Florida Recovery Advocates, told CBS12: 'I'm sure there’s more to the story, but from the employees that I spoke with most everybody that was there did find safe and supportive discharge options.
'It’s very sad what happened to the Retreat. From my experience. it was a great program.
'They always helped everyone in the community. They treated everybody with compassion and kindness.'
According to Franklin the facility was one of the only ones in the area that accepted Medicaid or VA health insurance policies.
Internal emails sent to staff and seen by the outlet show that Korogodsky assured members of staff they would be paid after a delay in receiving paychecks.
On Thursday, Alexander Hoinsky, the chief financial officer for the facility, said that the company had been on dire straits financially for at least a year. Hoinsky told WPTV that he had grew concerned after executives at the company stopped taking his calls. He said: 'I left messages and emails [and] laid out what was going to go forward. Basically, they did not want to hear it.'

[Gateway] If one watches corporate media or listens to the narrative coming out of Washington DC, inflation is going down and everyone should be happy with the economy. If one looks at the prices at the grocery store, they realize that the narrative doesn’t match reality.
With some foods skyrocketing in price over the last year, it’s getting harder for Americans to keep their cupboards full. But some Americans are looking ahead, seeing the writing on the wall, and realizing the trajectory of the nation and the world points to food shortages and government-controlled distribution.
"Who controls the food supply controls the people," Henry Kissinger once said. He was right. It doesn’t matter how independent and patriotic someone is. If they’re given the choice between bowing to government or letting their family members starve to death, nearly everyone will bow.
"We don’t want anyone to bow to a tyrannical government because they didn’t have enough food to feed themselves and their families," said Jason Nelson, CEO of Prepper All Naturals. "I fought for a free country and the direction America is heading is away from freedom."
Nelson, a disabled veteran who served in both the U.S. Marines and U.S. Army, left the military after a long career because of the Covid-19 "vaccine" mandates. When he returned, his desire to serve compelled him to launch his company in order to empower Americans with their own long-lasting supply of freeze-dried food.
Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin are among the cuts offered by Prepper All Naturals.
Nelson decided to go with premium cuts because of his own experience with "prepper" beef.
"I tried the freeze-dried ’beef crumbles’ and ’beef chunks’ that were being offered to Americans as survival food and realized the apocalypse is really going to suck if this is our only option," Nelson said. "So, we came up with a better option."

Beef cubes offered by Prepper All Naturals are cut from all-American cattle. The cubes are cooked sous vide, then freeze-dried and placed in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers to make them shelf-stable for at least a decade. The USDA recommends freeze-dried beef be used within 25-years of being packaged.

I had an aunt who had survived the Great Depression. She kept a second floor bedroom in her farmhouse for canned goods and expendable items. Two years was her rule of thumb, donating some dated items to charity from time to time then replacing.
At her estate sale in 1990, relatives found 91 roles of TP. Someone handed me a roll to take home. Many of them chuckled. I did not. I kept the roll in a plastic bag for many years. "Prepper" or plain old common sense. You decide.

Way back in 1990 I was in Beaverton, Oregon working on the design of a TP mill. One week a group of Russians came in and spent the week studying our design, They bought a lot of TP to take home.

[Regnum] The United States of America will soon face a new recession. This opinion was expressed by American investor Jim Rogers.
The financier believes that it will begin at the end of 2024 or in 2025.
"I know it's coming," Prime quoted the analyst as saying.
Rogers reminded us that the United States experiences recessions every few years. This has been happening for centuries, since the country's founding.
The American investor also did not rule out that a new recession will begin in the US even before the presidential elections, which will take place in November of this year.
Earlier, Rogers said that the US economy and the world as a whole would face difficulties after the presidential elections in the country.
As IA Regnum reported, columnist for The Washington Post newspaper David Ignatius, citing a report by the RAND Corporation analytical center (included in the register of organizations whose activities are recognized as undesirable in the Russian Federation), prepared by order of the Pentagon, said on April 27 that the United States is facing a period of decline, after which they are unlikely to recover from. The reason for this, he said, will be the lack of a common understanding of the problem and ways to solve it.
He noted that the competitiveness of the United States is under threat, highlighting the declining respect for the country's power from dozens of developing countries and rivalry from China. He also pointed to problems in the form of slowing productivity growth, excessive military tensions and the polarization of the country's political system.
On June 27, it became known that the first bank in the United States in 2024, Republic First, had collapsed. The country's authorities took control of the American bank, closed it, and appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as its successor.
The US, Japan and Europe will suffer a “horrific” recession that will be accompanied by a collapse of the banking system, Rogers said in May 2023. The investor pointed out that countries are trying to combat the collapse of banks by merging them with larger organizations.

Recession is a defined economic term. Since Bidets admin already “massaged” that terms parameters. We will have a “recession”. When They want us to, when it benefits Them. So odds are pretty good it will be soon.
[GEO.TV] Two ministers were among four people arrested for allegedly performing "black magic" on Maldives President Dr Mohammed Muizzu, reports cited officials as saying.
As per Economic Times, the suspects include Fathimath Shamnaz Ali Saleem, the state minister for Environment, Climate Change and Energy, her ex-husband Adam Rameez, who is also a minister at the President's Office and two others.
The climate minister was remanded in jug for a week pending investigations, officers said, without giving details for her arrest in the mysterious matter.
"There have been reports that Shamnaz was arrested for performing black magic on President Dr Mohammed Muizzu," said the Sun, a local media outlet.
Notably, both Shamnaz and Rameez were known to have worked with Muizzu as members of the Male City Council when he was serving as the city's mayor, The Economic Times reported.
Police would neither confirm nor deny the report and have declined to share any information about the reasons for the alleged performance of black magic.
Shamnaz holds an important position in a nation which remains on the frontlines of the climate crisis, with UN environment experts warning that rising seas could make Maldives virtually uninhabitable by the end of the century.
Sorcery is not a criminal offence under the penal code in the Moslem-majority country, but it does carry a six-month jail sentence under Islamic law.
People across the picturesque archipelago widely practice traditional ceremonies, believing they can win favours and curse opponents.
