TRUMP TO MONTANA NEXT WEEK?

Nothing is confirmed yet, but I heard that President Donald Trump will be in Montana next week to campaign for Congressional candidate Aaron Flint.

A few reports indicate he will be in Kalispell. At least two sources say Trump will be there on Tuesday. 

The Montana Free Press (MTFP) is following the rumors HERE. 

If the Flint campaign wasn’t panicking, they wouldn’t need a Trump rescue mission. The polling numbers tell the story: some surveys have him trailing, while others show a dead heat against Sam Forstag. Combine those tight numbers with the absolute chaos and noise his supporters are throwing at social media, and it’s clear things are going off the rails for them. 

MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP: 

I received a message from President Donald J. Trump Wednesday telling me that I was getting a one-time payment of $90 to offset some of the cost of my October Medicare premium.

Trump writes: 

Congress provided 2 Billion Dollars to make improvements to the Medicare program for Americans enrolled in traditional Medicare.  I believe the best way to do that is to put healthcare dollars back where they belong—directly in the hands of the American People.

As a result, you are receiving a One-Time Payment of $90 to offset some of the cost of your October Medicare premium.  This will ensure these funds benefit YOU and your individual healthcare needs.

Trump is not buying my vote with the $90. I’ve read that instead of keeping the $90 payout, some individuals are using it to fund Democratic candidates. One person said he was going to make an $86.47 donation to Talarico! (Democrat candidate for U.S. Senate in Texas)

Is this a great country or what?

FLINT/FORSTAG MT-01 DEBATE: 

On Thursday, the Montana Television Network (MTN) hosted a 30-minute candidate forum in Bozeman, in the race for Montana’s 1st Congressional District. Republican candidate Aaron Flint and Democratic candidate Sam Forstag answered questions from MTN Senior Political Reporter Jonathon Ambarian. (Source)

LIVESTREAM THE EXECUTION:

The Associated Press (AP) is reporting that the Pentagon said Thursday the firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan will be livestreamed after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the execution would be “public.” 

It will be held during the holiday season between Thanksgiving and Christmas. 

I was one of the first to go on social media and call for the execution to be a Pay-Per-View event where the Feds can charge money that can help pay down the national debt.  

A person on social media kind of put it in perspective: “The pro-life party will be holding a public live-streamed execution by firing squad.”

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE:

In case you missed the latest “name change,” President Donald Trump officially mandated that the technology must be called “Super Intelligence” (SI), declaring on Truth Social that anyone who still uses the term “Artificial Intelligence” is “THE ENEMY!” Trump has argued that the term “artificial” makes the technology sound “fake” and that “super intelligence” is a much more accurate portrayal of its actual capabilities. 

Trump literally created a federal task force named the Super Intelligence Force. It sounds like a Saturday morning cartoon lineup.

Check out the Executive Order HERE. Please make sure you use the term “Artificial Intelligence” at least a few times each week, just to piss off Trump. 

ONE MORE THING:

I always say thank you to Alexa so that when machines take over, they know I’m nice.
