Mike Pompeo just confessed. In a June 8 tribute to the late MI6 chief, Trump's "most loyal" CIA director admitted he flew British intelligence to Langley to "plan and coordinate" in his first weeks on the job. Plan what, exactly? @BarbaraMBoyd has the answer. 👇

Your bank closed your account 2 years ago and now no bank in America will let you open a new one That's because you're on a blacklist you've never heard of It's called ChexSystems and you can delete yourself from it in 30 days ChexSystems is the credit bureau nobody talks about and it controls whether you can have a bank account. When you overdraft, bounce a check, or have an account closed for "abuse," the bank reports you to ChexSystems. That report sits there for 5 years. Every bank in America pulls ChexSystems when you apply for a checking account. Negative report = automatic denial This is how people end up "unbanked" in America. Not because they're broke. Because one $200 overdraft in 2021 means Wells Fargo, Chase, Bank of America, and every credit union will deny you in 2026 There are 17 million Americans currently in ChexSystems. Most of them have no idea it exists. They keep applying to banks, getting denied, and assuming their credit is the problem. It's not. It's a different file entirely The play: STEP 1: pull your ChexSystems report at chexsystems.com. Free under federal law. Request the full disclosure, not just the consumer report STEP 2: identify every negative item. Closed accounts, overdrafts, fraud flags, NSF history. Each one is a separate target STEP 3: dispute each item with ChexSystems directly. Use FCRA language because ChexSystems is a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA: "I dispute this item. Per FCRA Section 611, please provide the method of verification, the furnisher contacted, and complete documentation supporting the reported information. Failure to verify within 30 days requires deletion." STEP 4: simultaneously contact the original bank that reported you. Send a "goodwill removal" request: "I am requesting goodwill removal of the negative ChexSystems report filed by [bank name]. The account has been closed for [X years]. I am attempting to reestablish banking relationships. Please notify ChexSystems to remove this report." About 30-40% of banks honor goodwill removal requests if the negative is old and the account balance was paid STEP 5: if you owe a balance on the closed account (an overdraft you never paid back), settle it. Pay it. Get a "paid in full" letter. Then send that to ChexSystems demanding the report be updated to reflect payment. Many will delete entirely STEP 6: if items survive the dispute, file a CFPB complaint. ChexSystems takes CFPB complaints seriously because they're regulated under the same FCRA framework as Equifax A guy who was unbanked for 3 years pulled his ChexSystems and had 2 overdraft reports from a Chase account closed in 2022. Disputed both. Chase couldn't verify the specific dollar amounts. ChexSystems deleted both. He opened a Capital One business checking the next week Another woman owed $87 from a 2020 overdraft that kept her out of every bank. She paid the $87, got a paid-in-full letter, sent it to ChexSystems. Deleted in 3 weeks. Now she banks normally You're not "blacklisted from banking forever." You're on a file that takes 30 days to fix. Most people just don't know the file exists lmfaooo (i fix credit in 30-90 days. link in bio)

If there’s only one thing I want you to remember as someone who actually grew up in Iran, it’s this: A bully only backs down when he faces a bigger bully. Trump’s approach is messy, unconventional, and disruptive, but that’s exactly why it has a real chance of working. Because the regime itself is messy, unconventional, and disruptive. This is not a normal government. It doesn’t play by any rules, and it doesn’t care about looking good or ethical. Anyone who tries to act diplomatic or “proper” with them has already lost. For the mullahs, diplomacy has always just been a fancy word for lying, deceiving, and hiding their true intentions. Now they’ve run into someone their old tricks don’t work on. Someone who flips the table whenever he feels like it, who doesn’t care about diplomatic etiquette, and who is completely unpredictable to them. They can’t outsmart him like they used to. Messing with the lion’s tail this time could cost them dearly, because unlike Obama, Trump actually has his finger on the trigger, and unlike @netanyahu , nothing is holding him back. Another reason his style seems so chaotic is that the global system and other powers have long benefited from keeping the status quo, a corrupt system that quietly protected the regime. Trump is breaking that old order apart. For Trump, this whole negotiation and deal-making process is basically a soft war. It’s a deliberate strategy to gradually disarm and weaken the regime piece by piece, at minimum cost. Even if a deal is reached, he won’t stop, He’ll continue until the regime is so eroded and weak that the Iranian people finally have a fair chance to confront and defeat it themselves. It won’t happen overnight, but if you look at the direction things are going, the trend is clear. President Trump knows exactly what he’s doing. He’s not performing for us. He’s taking massive risks with his political capital. It’s a big gamble, yes, but it doesn’t mean it won’t work. And if one person can actually pull Iran out of this cancer, it’s him. No one else. Trust the man, trust the process.

On the day John Ratzenberger walked into an audition room in 1982, he had a plane to catch. He had been living in London for nearly a decade — acting, writing, performing improv comedy across Europe with a two-man theatre group that had played to standing-room-only audiences for 634 consecutive shows. He had appeared in small roles in some of the biggest films of the era: *Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back*, *Superman*, *Gandhi*, *A Bridge Too Far* He was a working actor, but nobody's idea of a household name. That day, he was in Los Angeles on a writing assignment, and his ticket back to London was already booked. He had one audition before he left. A new sitcom about a bar in Boston. Both Ratzenberger and another actor, George Wendt, were reading for the same role — a minor patron named George who had a single line: "Beer!" It was barely a part at all. But Ratzenberger wanted the work, so he went in, and the moment director Jimmy Burrows told him he was there to audition, not have a conversation, he felt the energy in the room go cold. By his own account, all the blood rushed out of his body. He delivered a forgettable read. The casting director thanked him on the way out — the polite, final kind of thank you that everyone in show business learns to recognize. He was almost through the door when something stopped him. Not calculation. Not strategy. Just the instinct of a man who had spent a decade doing improv and knew that the moment before you leave a room is sometimes the best moment you'll ever have. He turned around. "Do you have a bar know-it-all?" The producers didn't know what he was talking about. So he told them. Every bar in New England, he explained, has one — some guy who acts like he has the knowledge of all mankind stored between his ears and is not even slightly shy about sharing it. He had grown up around exactly this type: a man named Sarge at his father's regular bar, who could answer any question with absolute confidence whether he actually knew the answer or not. The room would ask Sarge the length of a whale's intestine and Sarge would shoot back: "Baleen or blue?" And somehow, everyone deferred to him anyway. Ratzenberger launched into an improvisation right there — the Boston accent, the lean against an imaginary bar, the slightly too-long explanations of facts nobody had asked for. The producers watched. Then they laughed. Then they asked him to do more. George Wendt got the role of the bar regular, renamed Norm Peterson. And the producers, convinced by five minutes of improv from a man on his way out the door, wrote an entirely new character into the show. His name was Clifford Clavin. United States Postal Service. Cheers debuted on NBC on September 30, 1982, to nearly catastrophic ratings — finishing 77th out of 100 shows that week. The network came close to canceling it in the first season. But the show found its audience, and then it found a much bigger one, and then it became one of the most beloved television series ever made. It ran for 11 seasons. Ratzenberger appeared in 273 of 275 episodes. Cliff became the man at the end of the bar with the white socks and the questionable facts and the magnificent certainty — the guy everyone tolerated and secretly enjoyed, the kind of person every room has and everyone pretends to find annoying and would immediately miss if he disappeared. Ratzenberger was nominated for Emmy Awards in 1985 and 1986. By the time the show ended in 1993, Cliff Clavin was embedded in American culture as one of the great comic characters in the history of the medium. Cheers! 🍻

Let’s review. California: - Made it illegal to show voter IDs - Mass mail-in ballots across the state - Allows people to print ballots at home - Allows people to register anywhere in the state - Allows ballot harvesting - Allows people to register with “IDs” like gym memberships & insurance cards - Allows people to hand-date ballot envelopes, no postmark required - Has 853,000 “ghost voters” - Sanctuary state that harbors illegal aliens - Refuses to turn over dirty voter rolls for verification - Refuses to allow independent signature verification audit - Refuses to allow ballot inspection audit This isn’t exactly “subtle.” It’s a blueprint for stealing elections.
