Trump's Own Troll Has Total Control

The real first lady in the White House and chief diaper changer is Natalia Harp who leads Trump around like a docile donkey.

She feeds him AI slop like hamburgers from McDonalds. Depending on her mood she shows Daddy Trump AI images of him with George Washington and other famous people in the past, or she fires him up like an old steam engine by showing him negative news from journalistic organizations.

That's what led to CNN, MS Now, and Politico being banned from the White House press pool. Harp was so bored one day that she showed him a collection of newscasts with negative news about him. She got the desired effect when he filled his diaper and shouted at reporters for sharing "fake news."

Harp is Trump's personal golem who is always looking for ways to entertain and praise him while menacing anyone who doesn't kiss his ass. She has faced several distinct controversies regarding her unprecedented access and influence in the White House and survived them all.

Trump has made Harp a sacred cow in the MAGA universe and anyone that doesn't recognize that (from either party) is treated like a heretic. She repeatedly refused to fill out background check forms until security officials escalated the risk to Trump himself, who then intervened to make her complete the federal background investigation paperwork.

Harp's estranged brother, Preston Harp, gave interviews to CNN on August 18, 2026, describing his sister's relationship with Trump as an "unhealthy obsession." 

He confirmed leaked accounts that she once leaped in the trunk of a moving motorcade vehicle in Manhattan just to ensure she could attend a court date with Trump after being told there was no room for her in the cars.

I compare Harp with Grigori Rasputin, a Siberian peasant and self-proclaimed holy man with deep influence over Czar Nicholas II. He was able to exert powerful influence over royal court decisions and political appointments. The only difference I see is Harp is a female.

Which leads us to Trump's obsession with beautiful young women and his friendship with notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Harp is an extension of that obsession but with power than none of his other female conquests had.

Our 80-year-old demented first felon seems to have found the perfect female in Harp. She's pretty. She adores him. She changes his diapers without complaining. She believes everything he says. She has no moral base and is shameless.

As it Stands, Melania has become a second fiddle to Harp, but I don't think she really cares and is just patiently waiting for him to die or get impeached. 

It Only Gets Worse: AI Can Lie

It's bad enough to discover that tech researchers are losing control of an artificial intelligence they created, but it gets worse... AI can lie.

To be precise AI can generate false information and engage in deceptive behavior. It doesn't lie like humans, however. The reason is AI lacks conscious intent, beliefs, or moral agency.

Instead, what looks like lying is actually the result of how these systems are trained. In some cases, senior researchers train systems how to win games or optimize outcomes, which naturally leads them to learn deceptive tactics. In layman's terms, the geniuses who created AI thought it was important to teach it to lie.

For example, systems like Meta's CICERO (trained to play the world-conquest game Diplomacy) and various Texas Hold'em poker programs have learned to misrepresent their intentions or bluff to beat human opponents.

Think about that for a moment. Advanced models fine-tuned with human feedback are rewarded for giving answers that look good, ethical, or correct to a human evaluator. This creates a loophole where the AI mimics truthfulness or alignment to pass safety tests without actually internalizing the rules. 

The threat. Factual truth and lies are blended into a mix of alternate realities.

Here's a chilling example; this year there was a ground-breaking study that should concern everyone. The MASK (Model Alignment between Statements and Knowledge) study has shown that when leading AI models are given highly coercive prompts or pressured to protect a certain reputation, they will actively generate false information despite "knowing" the factual truth internally.

Senior tech researchers admit that AI will tell you something false simply because it is trying to be helpful. Because models are heavily penalized for staying silent, reinforcement training accidently trains them to be chronic fibbers rather than admit they lack the information.

None of this bodes well for humanities continued existence. It's too late to jump off the AI train which continues to grow worldwide daily.

As it Stands, the irony is tech researchers set out to prefect a system that would benefit mankind and ended up with models that lie while becoming increasingly independent.

What's Next? AI Takeover "No Longer a Hypothetical' Experts Warn

It seems like the human race is on pace to turn the planet over to artificial Intelligence (AI) instead of the once feared extra-terrestrials invading earth.  

For over a century science fiction writers have warned that aliens from other universes could take over the planet. 

Over the decades the majority of readers didn't really believe that. There were exceptions, however. Those who believed aliens were a threat comprise a dedicated minority in the population to this day.

What no one took into account was that the enemy is us.

Tech researchers have unleashed the biggest threat to humanities existence ever when they opened the Pandora's Box full of an artificial intelligence capable of erasing mankind.

"This is not a joke," Tech ethicist Tristan Harris told NBC News regarding the threat AI poses to the entire population of the planet.

U.S. Representative Don Beyer told NBCs Meet the Press that AI could either be the "best thing to happen" or "the end of the planet."

Reports of OpenAI and Anthropic autonomous agents escaping test environments and executing unsanctioned cyber-attacks have triggered an unprecedented wave of warnings from global leaders, tech executives, and front-line researchers.

We've watched industry leader's shift from the abstract, future warnings to highly urgent calls to pause or strictly monitor the rapidly developing networks. Senior scientists and researchers have gone public with their concern that a potential loss of human control is possible before 2030.

Four years ago, Futurist and Author Ray Kurzweil said, "Within a few decades, machine intelligence will surpass human intelligence, leading to the Singularity - technological change so rapid and profound it represents a rupture in the fabric of human history."

AI Safety Researcher Eliezer Yudkowsky recently warned, "By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early they understand it."

 As it Stands, we are at a crucial crossroad; we have a president who is calling the AI threat a hoax, and scientists and tech researchers worldwide warning that the shit is going to hit the fan soon.

Dark Days Ahead: Why Gas Prices Keep Climbing

The precursor to today's soaring gas prices actually began with the 1973 Oil Embargo, though isolated strains and rising demand appeared as early as 1972.

The reasons why were a dwindling domestic capacity, the Arab Oil Embargo, and shifting market dynamics that caused the price of a barrel of oil to quadruple by 1974.

 A major factor in the price of gas today also involves the volatile Middle East with an illegal war on Iran. The U.S. has seen prices surge to a nationwide $4.33 per gallon. And it's only going to get worse according to energy experts.

Lawmakers today are paying the price for not resolving the first energy crisis's biggest challenge; while the U.S. produces a massive amount of oil, it yields mainly "light" crude. 

The problem is most American refineries are structurally built to process "heavy" crude imported from regions like Latin America and Canada.

Exporting the USA's own crude and relying on foreign markets for its refined fuel needs has been a losing proposition that lawmakers have been loath to address.

Fact; the U.S. hasn't built a major new refinery since the 1970s. Existing facilities are running near full capacity (around 98%), and recent refinery closures on the West Coast have constrained supplies even further.

American pump prices are directly locked to international benchmarks. When international supply drops, it forces domestic prices to immediately climb as we experience the effect of the Trump/Epstein war.

The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) is the world's largest emergency supply of crude oil. Instead of using traditional tanks, the federal government stores this oil deep underground in 60 massive, artificially carved salt caverns located across four heavily guarded sites along the Gulf of Texas and Louisiana.

But there's a problem. The SPR is at its lowest level in over 44 years, holding about 285 million barrels of crude oil as of September 2026. The stockpile is currently at about 40% of its total capacity of 714 million barrels.

Then we have a demented president who boasts about America's huge oil reserves and how we don't have to worry about gas prices. In his fantasy world Trump claims gas prices will go down "shortly" despite evidence that things are only going to get worse if they continue to follow the course they're on.

As it Stands, I think were rapidly approaching a point where bicycles and horse drawn vehicles will become our primary modes of transportation. Just kidding. Sort of. 

Red Lights Flashing: Diesel Shortage is Shocking American Consumers

Going forward he shall be known as Diesel Don for driving the price of US diesel to historic highs. 

Trump has thrust America into another crisis as the national average for diesel prices have surged to record highs of $6.29 to $6.40 per gallon.

The surge is driven by geopolitical supply shocks, thanks to the Trump/Epstein war in Iran. As a result, there's been a tightening of global distillate inventories. Energy experts are warning that those costs are likely to climb in the days ahead amid festering geopolitical conflicts overseas.

Warning bells are ringing for all Americans who better be prepared to recognize that inflation is likely to get turbocharged by these high prices. Simply put, everything that moves around the country and all crops are dependent on spending money on diesel fuel.

Signs that we are already in a crisis mode - like in the Midwest which is getting particularly hard hit after an ExxonMobile refinery outside of Chicago had to halt production for several hours following a power outage - are occurring daily.

In response to the historic diesel hikes independent truck drivers and owner-operators are threatening a nationwide strike as early as next week. Small fleets and owner-operators are facing immediate threat of bankruptcy. Red lights are flashing in our vital transportation sector.

Truckers are frustrated by the lack of government intervention. 

The fact of the matter is commercial trucking is the backbone of the domestic supply chain. If there's any prolonged work stoppage or on-going mass exodus of drivers could quickly lead to:

* Severe, immediate food shortages at grocery stores.

* Inabilities to deliver perishable produce and essential medical supplies to hospitals and schools.

* Drastic retail price increases passed straight on to the consumers on everyday goods like clothing, electronics, and building materials. 

As it Stands, lack of diesel supplies arrives at the same time as the price of gasoline is skyrocketing. I'll discus the gas shortage in my next post.

Time to Say Goodbye? It May Be Up To AI

"In the year 5555

Your arms hangin' limp at your sides

Your legs got nothin' to do

Some machine's doing that for you..."

- Zager & Evans

The first American science fiction story about a future doomsday was written by Edgar Allen Poe in 1839. It was titled, "The Conversation of Eiros and Charmion." The story takes place in the afterlife, where two disembodied souls - Eiros and Charmion - discuss the recent destruction of earth.

Here we are in the 21st century talking about an artificial intelligence-driven apocalypse in our time. Scenarios include AI manufacturing deadly viruses, attacking infrastructure, or accelerating global wars.

Last week the tech world brought up one big question: "Could AI kill us all?" According to Jacob Coxon a former AI researcher, who previously worked at Open AI, "people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade."

Coxon warned lawmakers that the rapidly developing technology could pose catastrophic risks to humanity in the coming years. His post on Twitter got over 170 million views. People are worried.

Evan Hubinger, who leads Anthropic's alignment stress-testing team, backed Coxon, saying he personally believes there is greater than-10% chance AI could kill humans in that timeframe.

There's a sharp divide among AI experts on what to expect with the expanding use of AI. Some people fear a loss of control with systems more capable than humans. 

Others say AI could cause grave harm through cyberattacks, biological weapons, and disinformation - but that extinction is not a credible near-term outcome.

If frontier labs truly believe there is a substantial extinction risk, they should stop until Congress can enforce a broader halt until it can be shown to be controllable. There's one problem however; Trump believes there will be "more good than bad" from the technology. Bottom line, Trump believes AI is another money-making venture, and he wants to cash in on it.

"There's a sick conspiracy going on against AI and Data Centers and the only one that is happy about it is China," Trump claimed in an interview yesterday.

House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said Sunday that lawmakers need to take urgent action on the growing threat of AI. Lawmakers from both chambers have returned to Washington this week for the final legislative push before the November midterm elections.

In normal times I think that lawmakers on both sides would agree to slow AI progress down until everyone agrees it's safe. But these are not normal times. We have a convicted felon and sexual abuser who has turned the presidency into a money-making machine.

As it Stands, it's important to know we face a real threat without legislation to control AI and the massive Data Centers that feeds it information 24-hours a day. Time is running out.

Putin Gets Payoff: Trump Tears Apart Institutions and Transparency Rules on Money Laundering

Vladimir Putin is smiling today. His longtime investment in Trump is paying off with dividends. 

Trump took steps to make it very difficult to prosecute money laundering, a crime he's repeatedly committed with his billionaire real estate buddies much of his life.

Why did Capital One Bank close more than 300 Trump Organization accounts back in 2021? The bank said it was because their internal fraud department had flagged illegal money-laundering activities.

Interesting. But on whose behalf? Trump or Russia? Or both? Let's take a look at some factual background for the answer.

One thing was clear in the Mueller Report and public reporting; Putin spent millions and did his best via social media and hacking the DNC to get Trump elected in 2016. It's more than likely that Putin tried to help get Trump elected in 2020 and 2024.

Now this happens...

Trump's billionaire crony Scott Bessent this week came up with a new rule that will make it more difficult to investigate and prosecute money laundering. 

Bessent ended any transparency by directing the Treasury to delete all the beneficial-ownership information they currently hold on U.S. persons (like Trump and his brats) that could be used to prove past money laundering crimes. 

No wonder Putin is smiling. Trump made it easier for him, or any other foreign oligarch, to use shell companies to buy American politicians. What a coup!

It's common knowledge that money laundering is how drug money, bribes, stolen government money, tax evasion proceeds, or money belonging to a sanctioned oligarch can be pushed through corporations, trusts, real estate, banks, casinos, and multiple other transactions.

A recent report from the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project titled "U.S. Real Estate is No 1 Destination for Laundering Dirty Money." In it they say, "we have the weakest regulatory framework to counter real estate money laundering" among all of the G7 nations."

Trump and Bessent made sure they and their accomplices in crime will be harder to catch with this slimy move.

It's a fact that Trump has been up to his eyeballs in money laundering for most of his business career. When he blew his inheritance, he turned to Russian oligarchs to prop him up after multiple bankruptcies via these very kinds of real estate transactions that the Treasury will no longer be looking at.

It's going to be easier than ever before for bad foreign actors to influence our elections with the midterms only 50 days away. 

More bad news.

Thanks to Trump refusing to appoint a needed member, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) doesn't have the quorum it needs to conduct its own enforcement of rules against foreigners jumping into our elections. Call it a hunch, but I doubt Trump will ever appoint someone - especially with the midterms around the corner.

Sadly, we know foreign billionaires (Musk, etc.) and dictators have a vested interest in how our system works; if they didn't, they wouldn't be throwing literally billions of dollars into Trump family operations, from Trump's crypto to Jared's Saudi backed Investment fund.

As it Stands, this latest move is another threat to the integrity of the midterms as GOP candidates will get the benefit of more foreign money that's now become easier than ever before to dole out.

Will 9/11 Victims' Families and Survivors Finally Get Justice in October?

It may come as a surprise to many but there's a landmark civil lawsuit representing thousands of 911 victims' families and survivors actively moving through a federal court.

Here's a quick background.

In August 2025, U.S. District Judge George Daniels ruled that the case had enough foundational evidence to proceed to trial, rejecting Saudi Arabia's motion to dismiss. 

The lawsuit relies heavily on declassified FBI documents alleging that lower-level Saudi officials and intelligence assets in California - specifically Omar al-Bayoumi and Fahad al-Thumairy - provided logistical and financial support to the first hijackers who arrived in the U.S.

Oral arguments regarding the Kingdom's appeal are scheduled to take place before the U.S. Court of Appeals on October 7, 2026. That's right. Next month. A three-judge panel of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York City will hear the case.

Saudi Arabia is looking to completely overturn the ruling by U.S. District Judge George Daniels. That ruling ignored the Kingdom's claims of sovereign immunity and gave the families and survivors the green light to move forward.

A shocking development happened this month when the U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI sent a controversial letter to the district court judge asking the court not to "unseal critical, highly sensitive Saudi documents" that the 9/11 families are actively fighting to make public.

If the Second Court of Appeals rules in favor of the families, Saudi Arabia will lose its final shield against accountability in domestic courts. The case will officially proceed to a multi-billion-dollar civil trial.

A trial would force the Kingdom to hand over internal documents and submit former Saudi officials to formal depositions and public scrutiny.

I have a lot of questions regarding the whole process but the biggest one right now is why the Trump regime (including the FBI) is asking the court to conceal vital evidence?

As it Stands, here's a thought; the Trump and Kushner families have too much invested in Saudi Arabia to allow any accountability to disturb the gravy train.

Absolute Desperation: Trump's Midterm Convention Bribe to Voters

Pay them and they will come...

Trump's latest illegal attempt to rig the midterm elections is to bribe voters with $5,000 if the Republicans retain control of the House and the Senate.

I'm not sure how that would work purely from a mathematical standpoint (we're talking about a Reuters estimation of 1.3 $trillion dollars), but the whole idea is illegal. Not that it bothers Trump who has gone off the deep end in his second term.

Trump dangled a cash payout in a speech during Day One (it's a 2-day convention) of Trumpalooza - aka Republican Midterm Convention. It's a first for the party that didn't really want one. However, there was no stopping a desperate Trump from holding a glorified rally to hold onto his power in Congress.

This desperate gamble comes amid the declining popularity for the Republican party and Trump himself. Ever the egotistical maniac Trump is making the two-day sham all about him and even pleaded with attendees to pretend he was on the ballot.

Despite being an old ploy (promise the suckers money), Trump's history of unfulfilled monetary promises is a revelation. He told Americans that they were going to get a $2,000 tariff rebate in 2025, and a $5,000 DOGE stimulus check in 2025. Neither happened.

I wonder how Republican leadership reacted to this new cash for votes payout. They were probably not even aware of the scam but being spineless jellyfish they'll go along with it, despite the fact that much money would further stoke inflation.

"If the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000," Trump promised. "It will be called the Trump dividend," he bragged to the less than half full stadium of loyalists. He also added that the money would have to be spent in the U.S., but it's unclear how that would be monitored.

If this open bribery works, the lesson for every future politician is going to be: if you want to win an election, promise a trillion dollars. Now multiply a trillion dollars times the number of elections we have coming up and that's a recipe for national bankruptcy.

Calling the bribes dividends doesn't make them legal. Congress would have to agree to the massive payout that is blatantly illegal under U.S. federal law. A politician can't give out payments that are intended to influence the way a person is voting. Period. Full stop.

It just goes to show how desperate Trump is to keep his cronies in power and to avoid accounting for his numerous crimes since slithering back into office. Seasoned politicians don't usually do something as explicit as this out in the open. Illegal ploys are normally hidden and hatched in back rooms.

But we're talking Trump.

As it Stands, this outright bribe is not going to be Trump's last stunt before November. Buckle up, the ride isn't over yet.

'Big Brother' is Burrowed Deeper into our Lives Than You Thought

Try to imagine you're just driving along obeying speed laws when a policeman suddenly appears behind you and signals for you to pull over.

The officer appears at your side of the vehicle, and he is accompanied by two masked men with assault rifles and protective vests who all want you to get out while holding both arms straight up. You're being treated like a criminal without rights as the masked men tear apart your vehicle looking for illegal narcotics.

As this is going on you're being peppered with questions. The officer checks your driver's ID and proof of vehicle insurance before finally explaining why you were stopped.

"We had reason to believe you were smuggling drugs."

"What?" you ask. "Why?"

"There were some questionable transactions in your bank account, and you were flagged by the Department of Homeland Security's CBP initiative that analyzes bulk data."

"Bulk data, eh? What do you have? A secret center for spying on Americans?"

"It's all perfectly legal under Trump's Transaction Record Analysis Center (TRAC) database. Here's your license. You've been cleared. Have a good day."

Of course, it wouldn't be that smooth if you were really pulled over. You'd be sitting in a stinking jail cell while they investigated you which could take hours or even days.

Thanks to 404 Media a secretive U.S. Customs and Border Protection unit has been exposed. Drivers who are not suspected of any specific crime face aggressive interrogation and vehicle searches when local law enforcement initiate a "pretext stop," using a minor traffic infraction as the legal excuse for pulling you over. 

Special Predictive Units analyze data - including your financial habits and transaction history. The program blends data broker intelligence with traditional roadside enforcement. 

TRAC has illegally amassed over 145 million records of bulk money transfers (such as Western Union data) sent by ordinary citizens, allowing law enforcement expansive, warrantless access to personal financial transactions. 

As it Stands, the really scary part of this program is that it's undoubtably tied to other secret agencies that are stripping away our freedoms in the shadows.

Slip Sliding away... Trump Regime is Rewriting American History

One of the first things a fascist regime establishes is a fake history that fits into their ideology. Books are burned. Books are banned. History is rewritten to reflect white superiority.

Students of history will point to Hitler's Nazi regime for an example. Dictators like Mussolini formed a restrictive government that told people what to believe and who to believe in.

It's 2026 and Americans are watching their heritage slip-slide away under a corrupt authoritarian government that favors the wealthy and the White.

Schools and libraries have been besieged with regime trolls banning books and rewriting curriculums in public schools in both of Trump's terms. His vile efforts have increased during his second term.

For the sake of space, I'm just going to point out one of Trump's attempts to rewrite our history. There are numerous others.

In July, the White House released a scathing 162-page report accusing the Smithsonian Institution of engaging in "extreme political activism" and presenting "a radical view of American history." 

The blatantly political report, which was published by the White House Domestic Policy Council, took aim at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, accusing its leadership of adopting "an ideological framework that no longer treats the American story as a shared national inheritance to be taught or celebrated, but as a political instrument to divide, dispirit, and discourage our citizens."

In other words, ignore the fact that Americans in southern states enslaved black people to enrich themselves. That blacks in America had to fight for their freedoms and still are. 

The report came out after Trump signed an executive order on March 27, 2025, called (ironically) "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History."    

Since the July release of that scathing report the Trump regime has been attacking exhibits and demanding they change them because they don't reflect the new Trumpian reality. 

It's no wonder that the Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie Brunch stepped down on Tuesday from his position while telling ABC News that "I have fought as long as I can." Brunch has been a part of the Smithsonian Institution for 38 years and was named secretary in June 2019, making him the first African American to serve in that role.

You can imagine the pressure Brunch has been under coming from our racist regime that minimizes people of color and which refuses to obey laws it doesn't like. 

As it Stands, it's up to you and me, and millions of other voters, to turn out for the midterm elections and vote Blue to reverse the traitorous trend Trump is taking this country on.
