A RESPONSE TO NY SOCIALIST COUP

~Dutch Valkema; July 3rd, 2026

You sat behind George Washington’s desk, albeit from the wrong side because Communists don’t know the working end of ANYTHING - today, surrounded by newly naturalized citizens, and delivered a speech so riddled with irony and historical amnesia that it demands a full response.

Let’s start with the overarching irony: You are a self‑proclaimed socialist who fled Uganda and was welcomed into America’s arms. You now enjoy the freedom, security, and prosperity that only this capitalist republic provides - and you use that platform to denounce the very system that saved you. You are a living testament to America’s generosity, yet you repay it with revolutionary contempt. That is not courage. That is ingratitude dressed as righteousness.

Now, to your statements:

On your assault on American greatness: You decried “oligarchs” and “trillionaires” while accepting a salary funded by New York’s capitalist engine. You sneer at wealth, yet every socialist regime in history: from the Soviet gulags to Venezuela’s collapsed hospitals, began with that same grievance and ended with breadlines, secret police, and a ruling class far more brutal than any CEO. You call for “equity.” History calls that a prelude to famine. America’s 250 years have lifted more people out of poverty than any system on earth, not because we are perfect, but because we embrace freedom, not coercion.

On your lecture about borders and law:

You called ICE enforcement “terror.” The real terror is socialist states that seal their borders to keep their own people in. You weep for those who enter unlawfully, but say nothing of the millions who wait legally and who respect our sovereignty. Your open‑border ideology is not compassion; it is a deliberate strategy to dilute citizenship, because citizenship is the only thing standing between your ideology and total power. You know that. That is why you attack it.

On your distortion of patriotism:

You said patriotism is “righteous dissent.” No... dissent is a right, not a virtue unto itself. Patriotism is loyalty to the constitutional order that protects that dissent. You are not loyal. You mock the flag while swearing oaths on it. You denounce the military while enjoying the security it provides. That is the calculated cynicism of every authoritarian‑in‑waiting.

On your historical audacity:

You invoked Washington: a flawed man, yes, but one who rejected monarchy and established the peaceful transfer of power. Contrast that with your ideological heroes: Lenin, Mao, and Castro: men who murdered tens of millions in the name of “the people.” You sit in Washington’s chair and lecture us on moral failure? The only failure is your inability to see that America’s sins are exceptions to its principles, whereas socialism’s atrocities are the inevitable products of its principles.

On this 250th anniversary:

You want to “take measure.” Let’s take measure of you. You have called to defund police, embraced allies who praise dictators, and normalized the abnormal. You make tyranny sound like empathy. You sell collectivism as community, when in truth it is the erasure of the individual... the very soul of American liberty.

You are not a reformer. You are a carrier of a 150‑year‑old plague that has killed over 100 million people. You are not a patriot; you are a revolutionary using municipal office as a staging ground for subversion. And the final irony? You are a guest in this house: a house built by free hands, not state planners. You are welcome to stay, but you are not welcome to burn it down.

Step away from Washington’s desk. You haven’t earned the right to sit in his chair. And to every single American: do not appease this man. Remember him...because history remembers what happens when we ignore the socialist with a smile.

Happy 250th, America. You must guard your freedom like your ancestors did, because people like Mamdani are counting on you to forget it.

YOU CANNOT BE BOTH

Patriotism is freedom.

Communism is base slavery.

"You can be a communist or you can be a patriot. You cannot be both."

FREEDOM 250~July 4th, 2026; Castle Rock-WA

I hope all my friends enjoyed the 4th of July Holiday to the best of your ability, given the climate we find ourselves in today in America.

I hope yu'all remembered that we, The People, won our Independence from oppressive tyranny the 1st time around … we can do it again, against the black wave of red communism spreading rapidly across this land!

On this day: the 250th Birthday of our Great Nation, I hope every one thought on why America was birthed - lest we never take for granted the freedoms we enjoy; because other's are diligently putting busy axes to the root of our National freedoms.

BLOOD DOESN'T LIE~Self-Care 2026; Castle Rock-WA

June 29th: Sunday was the start of the 4th of July 📜 Week.

Drinking my morning coffee ☕️, the headlines were  announcing - that as usual … the demonrats are doing all they can to ruin it 🤦🏻‍♀️

And the Repubs are trying to clean the demonrat mess, up …

Scrolling through my FB pop-ups, I did get a laugh 🤭 about the absurdity of the demonrat mentality:

We are half way through 2026 - and I am definitely still alive and kicking.

But some are not; Father Time finally caught up with them and stopped their tickers. Some, I won't miss at all … some - I was sorry to read, as I did internet searches ,🧐 had been gone for half a year; their FB Pages are still up, and there is no obit notice, but there are funeral home notices. I also saw that the internet 🌐 was giving out quite a bit of their personal information 👀; and that piqued my curiosity 🤔 Was the internet putting out MY personal info; info, that I had not [put out there]: I checked into that and was surprised at what I read. There was information posted online that was nobody's business … and there was some info posted that was a startling confirmation of suppositions, assumptions, and queries that had dogged me for decades 🤷‍♀️ - and had been soundly denied. Denials that are ridiculous 🤨 Ridiculous because blood doesn't lie 🤦🏻‍♀️ DNA is all conclusive and always trumps a stoic poker hand.

But, I thought I'd try 1 more time to get to the root of the issues. I contacted my middle sister 💻💬 and asked her to contact our Aunt Karen, who is my deceased mother's only living sibling. I was hoping that since she is close to 90 years old, she'd come clean about our ethnicity:

WHAT???

Blood doesn't lie.

I was reading that not only did we have blood ties to paganist africa … it appears now, that we also have blood ties to the cultic, blood-thirsty, middle east countries. I was not happy to be facing that dilemma! I was hoping for answers to dormant queries.

Instead, Karen stuck to the family story BS 💬🤨📜🤦🏻‍♀️

Grandpa's looks are similar to Holland's Armenian friend … & his nephew Jake's, 1/2 Armenian sons.

My Grandmother Ball's family may have lived in Czechoslovakia before they escaped the socialist-communist-nazi coups, to settle in America, & go through the citizenship courses to become citizens … but a genealogy report tattled that they hailed from Hungary. It doesn't matter where they lived, or what culture they adopted - their bloodline ethnicity is Hungarian.

My Grandfather Ball's family may have have come from England during the colonization era of American before America was America 📜 … but his bloodline tattles that his ethnicity is more than what the family is claiming: it is a fact that most of Europe during the 600's was under muslim ottoman rule; my mother told us that our relatives came "from the country that looks like a boot" = Spain.

Spain is not Czechoslovakia, or Hungary.

Spain is not England, Ireland, or France.

Spain is not mentioned in the country line-ups - but, it is a definite, factual, part of our Life Story. Karen may not mention it, but my mother talked about Spain, our family connection to that country, & would point it out on maps - and even show us how to do the Flamenco dancing steps.

And while it is possible that claims can be made that family ancestors did live in all those places … the one fact left out, is that the moors were also dwelling in those countries; it is also more than possible that dalliances took place between ethnic groups while relatives were living in those places - and those dalliance's are showing up in the here-and-now present.

Someone has not been truthful in spinning the tale of familial history that shifted ethnic connections.

Blood doesn't lie ⚕️

DNA doesn't lie 😱

Physical characteristics will tattle - and override staunch denials 🤔

My mother's sister, Karen, has spent her entire adult life in the medical field, working in hospitals as a licensed nurse! She knows better than this … and yet, will stick to the parroted lie.

Aunt Karen was acting like a BSing karen 😑🤯🥴

I was trying not to get too frustrated pissy 🤨 

Someone, somewhere along Grandpa Ball's DNA chain wandered off the stated ethic pathway … and introduced the Middle eastern bloodline:

{{Is MENA a Separate Ethnic Census Classification?

Yes — MENA (Middle Eastern or North African) is now an official, distinct ethnic category in U.S. federal data collection, replacing its previous inclusion in the “White” category.

Under the updated Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Statistical Policy Directive No. 15 (effective 2024), MENA is one of the seven minimum reporting categories for race and ethnicity on the U.S. Census and other federal surveys

The MENA category covers origins in North Africa, the Levant, the Arabian Peninsula, and Iran (Persia), including both Arabic‑speaking and non‑Arabic‑speaking groups such as Lebanese, Egyptian, Syrian, Iranian, and Israeli. It is designed to be inclusive of diverse ethnic identities within the region, such as Kurds, Copts, and Imazighen

In summary: MENA is no longer just a subset of “White” — it is now a separate, official ethnic classification in U.S. federal statistics, reflecting the distinct identities of Middle Eastern and North African populations.}}

Holland & I discussed this new discovery.

Then we ate supper - and I did a dumbbell workout; it felt good to work with weights, again. For the past 2 weeks I've been walking a mile every other day; and doing step-ups & stretches several times a day (not posted, but done):

Do reps for EA set as indicated x3; easy to do - even for a senior woman.

It's been an interesting  Day.

I'm going to take my tired self upstairs to bed, and rest my thoughts.

MOD HOLIDAY CROCHET CHAIN SWAGS

I had left over yarn scraps in patriotic colors … so, I decided to use them in simplistic ways to celebrate America's upcoming celebration.

My door swags are simple crochet chains, designed to fit my inside doors. I put tassels at the ends of them, to add a bit of light weight to keep the crochet lengths from kinking up - as chains can sometimes do.

Tasseled ends.

My door swags are nothing fancy, but they are made with colors that have strong representation in them. And when I glance across the rooms, I am visually comforted  & mentally encouraged by the messages those colors represent.

Materials: Ruler; Worsted weight yarn; #I crochet hook; scissors; tapestry needle.

Process: Decide where you want the tassels to fall along your doorway - measure the length & work your sc chain lengths accordingly, occasionally checking your work against the doorframe. (I made my length's in staggered lengths = see tasseled ends pic, above). If you make a center draw swag, you'll want to figure in extra stitches for the hang on each side of the center draw - you can do this by gauging the length of your crochet chain along the door frame sides where you want your longest tassel to fall, up to the center of your doorway + the swag drape: count the swag drape sts & work opposite side to match: this is easier than it sounds.

Trust me - you can do this!

MOD Swags - thrifty, simple, & light-weight; perfect for a life on the move.

Twisted.

Swagged.

I chose Independence's (our Home's namesake; chose specifically for it's Patriotic meaning) inside swag colors, to represent the purpose of Old Glory - America's famously recognized Flag colors chosen in 1777, sewn by Betsy Ross (our trusty 4x Beast's namesake): we are unapologetic Patriots. We live our lives reflecting America's birth, real purpose, and true intent. Our Home & our vehicle reflects those sentiments.

Red represents courage, bravery, and the willingness to sacrifice for freedom. It also evokes passion, energy, and determination.

White stands for purity, honesty, and peace. It symbolizes unity, hope, and the ideals of a just society.

Blue signifies loyalty, justice, and perseverance. It also conveys calmness, trust, and vigilance.

Together, the colors embody sacrifice for freedom, justice, and hope; core ideals of the United States.

THE PEOPLE ARE SPEAKING; Castle Rock-WA

Happy news while drinking my morning joy juice - rational thinking people, who have morals & a soul on the right track that runs through Life, do not want this new government the obamanites continue to push. barak hussein obama, backed by a foreign government, American traitors, & placed in Office by the black panthers organization here in America, raised Hell as soon as his coup landed him in the Oval Office - and immediately staffed his admin with hand-picked demonic driven criminals, passed Laws to force his hellish "vision" forward; dementia boy, run by his sketchy wife & the obama cartel, was a willing pawn in the stacked game the obamanite DC chairs set in place … but it went off the rails when actual lunatics went further afield in their warped visions, crazy dangerous talk, street violence, and several assassination attacks on President Trump & his family, the murder of Jewish representatives in DC, and the actual assassination of Charlie Kirk.

The People are speaking.

And they are not going to accept the woke agenda of the New World Order. That evil, world domination idea, started at the beginning of the 1900'sin Russia, took root in American Universities & Colleges in the 1950's, & is being ended by the backbone of American's the 2020's.

{{Controversial Democrat who called for 'Zionists' to be imprisoned toppled after backlash

~Story by Charles Creitz

Controversial Demon Rat who called for 'Zionists' to be imprisoned toppled after backlash.

Democrat Maureen Galindo, a South Texas sex therapist who drew nationwide ire from Democratic Party leaders, was defeated in her primary runoff against Bexar County Sheriff’s Office official Johnny Garcia, according to the Associated Press.

The seat, newly drawn following Texas Republicans’ redistricting effort, is currently represented by "Squad" member Rep. Gregorio Casar. However, the liberal lawmaker is running in an adjacent district being vacated by Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, leaving the now red-leaning seat up for grabs.

Galindo became a national flashpoint when she was accused of antisemitism for floating a plan to imprison "American Zionists" at an ICE detention center in the district while pushing back on suggestions she was trying to create an "internment camp."

Galindo shocked observers when she edged out Garcia in the original March primary, which led to Tuesday’s runoff.

Garcia, meanwhile, condemned Galindo’s comments and partially blamed Republicans for bolstering her name recognition.

Garcia is a San Antonio native and has experience working as a police deputy, a SWAT hostage negotiator and a public information officer — the official tasked with speaking to the press and making public appearances.

His campaign was framed around his self-description as an old-school Democrat and was viewed as the more moderate choice in Tuesday’s contest.

Two Republicans are also vying for the seat in the Republican primary — one of whom is a relative of nearby GOP Rep. Monica de la Cruz.

With the 35th District redrawn in Republicans’ favor, Democrats appeared to view Galindo’s candidacy as a catastrophic liability.

Her rhetoric has since been condemned by members of the far left of her party, including Reps. Hakeem Jeffries and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.

Demon Rat hypocrites AOC, and Jeffries, D-N.Y., blamed Republicans for Maureen Galindo's anti-Semitic rant. Galindo is center.

"This vile language by her is disqualifying and has no place in American politics, and certainly not in the Democratic Party," Jeffries and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said in a joint statement, adding, "To embrace and uplift a fringe candidate with anti-Semitic — and extremely dangerous — rhetoric and views in order to win an election is beyond the pale."

"Texans will not be fooled and will reject her at the ballot box next week," they added.

Democrats break with scandal-plagued Graham Platner, warn of 'civil war' in party

~Story by Alex Miller

Top Democratic officials and lawmakers are breaking with Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner as his past blunders and online history stack up.

Platner

Platner’s ascendency to the top of the ticket in Vacationland broke with the Democratic establishment in Washington, D.C., and since Maine Gov. Janet Mills exited from the race, questions about whether he is the right choice to take on Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, have exploded. 

Much of that is fueled by scandals that have cropped up seemingly week after week, be it a tattoo on his chest of a Nazi symbol or inflammatory posts online. 

"The main race really demonstrates the civil war that's happening within the Democratic Party, and there are a lot of Democrats, moderate Democrats like myself, who will not cry tears should we lose Maine," DeRosa said. "I mean, that would be a pickup to begin with." 

Senate Democrats view Maine as one of the most viable pickup opportunities in the 2026 midterm cycle in their quest to regain control of the upper chamber.

Platner is not the candidate that party bosses wanted, but since jumping into the race last year, he has built a growing national profile that reached new heights earlier this month when he landed on the cover of Time magazine. 

Still, his unearthed Reddit posts — ranging from bashing a soldier shot by the Taliban to masturbating in portable toilets — have unleashed fresh scrutiny from both the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) and Democrats alike. 

"Democrats’ shift from quietly distancing themselves from Platner to openly disavowing him proves his baggage is catching up with him, and Maine voters won’t excuse it," NRSC spokesperson Bernadette Breslin told Fox News Digital. "Platner’s deviant, scandal-plagued history is only the beginning of the problems he has ahead."

John Fetterman expressed frustration with some party leaders and their tactics.

And top Democrats in both the House and Senate, including Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., were quiet after being recently pressed by Fox News Digital on their backing of Platner.

Former Biden press office chief of staff Yemisi Egbewole told Fox News’ Bill Melugin that Democrats, particularly those who support Platner, have to answer for his behavior.

"I think when we're talking about moral clarity and what we want to see from Democrats, I think he is an issue," Egbewole said.

Platner’s woes on the national stage began when a video of him dancing shirtless began to circulate last year. 

On his chest was a tattoo of a skull and crossbones synonymous with Nazi iconography known as a totenkopf, or death’s head. At the time, Platner said he didn’t know what it was.

"It was not until I started hearing from reporters and D.C. insiders that I realized this tattoo resembled a Nazi symbol," Platner said. "I absolutely would not have gone through life having this on my chest if I knew that — and to insinuate that I did is disgusting. I am already planning to get this removed."

Now, Democrats are more willing to criticize him for the tattoo. 

"I find that tattoo and his commentary about it to be personally disqualifying," Rep. Jake Auchincloss, D-Mass., told CNN. "I hope Maine voters agree with me. I think it would be a mistake for the Democratic Party to think that Graham Platner's brand of the Democratic Party is what wins us durable majorities throughout this country."

And Michael LaRosa, former spokesperson for former first lady Jill Biden, lauded Auchincloss for having "actual guts" to call for a better candidate in the race.

When asked if there was a growing issue with antisemitism in his party by CNN, Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., said "absolutely," and singled out Platner as an example. 

"I mean, the guy that's going to win the primary in Maine … has a Nazi tattoo on his chest, and that's no problem for a lot of voters," Fetterman said. "So I don't know why. That's crazy."

Holland has been researching places for us to go when our time here in WA wraps up: at some point our road gypsy days will end - I'd like our homebase to be a red state; that has been my end game goal since 2009. I could see then, how things were going in democrat run states. The quality of life in WA State, OR State, CA State was seriously eroded as obamanite leadership placements … and bootlickers like gavin newscum … literally ran those states into the ground with asinine laws, rules, and regulations that are ridiculous in concept and just plain destructive in real time realities.

I want to live, again, some sense of quality of life.

I believe red states offer that. The leadership there implement Laws that makes sense, laws that protect the people in those states' communities, laws that eventually benefit society as a whole. I like seeing the positive, public, references to God as we drive through Red States. I like the friendly attitudes, the ready smiles, the happy chatter, the relaxed atmosphere, the wholesome lifestyle. I like the patriotism vibe that throbs in the heartbeats of the people in those states.

I don't exactly know when we're leaving here, I don't know where we'll be going - or how we'll be going.

But, I hope & I pray a Red State is in the cards we've been dealt to play, in this Game of Life. A winning hand - all the way around - would be real nice to enjoy before my chips are cashed in.

{{Pete Hegseth takes action against Sen. Mark Kelly, who egged on military to defy Trump in viral video

~Story by Andi Shae Napier

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Monday began taking steps to demote Democratic Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly from his current military rank over his role in a viral video telling U.S. service members and spy agencies they must “refuse illegal orders” by the Trump administration.

Hegseth posted a statement to social media saying the Pentagon is taking administrative action to initiate retirement grade proceedings to demote Kelly from a retired Navy captain to a lower rank, with a corresponding deduction in pay. Hegseth also announced a formal letter of censure, outlining Kelly’s “reckless misconduct.”

“Six weeks ago, Senator Mark Kelly — and five other members of Congress — released a reckless and seditious video that was clearly intended to undermine good order and military discipline. As a retired Navy Captain who is still receiving a military pension, Captain Kelly knows he is still accountable to military justice,” Hegseth wrote in a Monday morning X post.

“Therefore, in response to Senator Mark Kelly’s seditious statements — and his pattern of reckless misconduct — the Department of War is taking administrative action against Captain Mark E. Kelly, USN (Ret),” the War Secretary added. “The department has initiated retirement grade determination proceedings under 10 U.S.C. § 1370(f), with reduction in his retired grade resulting in a corresponding reduction in retired pay.”

“Captain Kelly’s status as a sitting United States Senator does not exempt him from accountability, and further violations could result in further action,” Hegseth’s statement added.

Kelly responded to the Pentagon’s move in a statement later Monday, saying there’s nothing “more un-American” than the message he says Hegseth is trying to send by the move to demote him.

“Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way. It’s outrageous and it is wrong,” Kelly wrote in the statement.

“If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it,” the Arizona Democrat added. “I will fight this with everything I’ve got — not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don’t get to decide what Americans in this country get to say about their government.”

Five other Democrats appeared in the Nov. 18 video which President Donald Trump blasted as “seditious.” Kelly’s upper chamber colleague, Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin, a former intelligence officer, was the only other senator to participate in the video. Slotkin in December 2025 moved to create her own legal defense fund while the FBI pursues an inquiry into the six total Democratic lawmakers.

House Reps. Jason Crow of Colorado, Chris Deluzio of Pennsylvania, Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire and Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, who are all military veterans, were also in the video.}}
