They turned crap into gold.

A routine renovation job in Belgium took an unexpected turn on Tuesday after builders happened upon a gold hoard worth over $10 million while installing a sewer system.

“Our first reaction was actually disbelief,” an 18-year-old student worker named Kobe told local media outlet VRT while recalling the unexpected haul. “Of course, we hadn’t expected to find gold.”

*** and ***

Under Belgian law, the rightful owner has five years to lay claim to the fortune. If they don’t, the forgotten gold can be divided between the finder and property owner provided it’s not associated with a crime.

*** end quote ***

What’s wrong with “finder’s keeper’s”?  I sure wouldn’t tell anyone what I found. Sorry, but I can see all the politicians and bureaucrats, grifters, and “do gooders with your stuff” crowded around to “dip their beak” in your find.  To use an expression from the movie “The Godfather”.  I think the Mafia was better than the Gooferment!  Five years is a long time for the “rats to eat the seed corn”?

Argh!

GOVERNACIDE: Gooferment Skrules adults are “racist”?

Schoolgirl, 6, off the hook for poignant hand-written BLM letter principal said was ‘racist’ thanks to 1960s civil rights ruling

“Today’s ruling affirms what should be obvious: Students don’t lose their constitutional rights just because they’re young,” Caleb Trotter, senior attorney at Pacific Legal Foundation, said in a release published online. “The Constitution protects every student’s right to free expression. No child should be punished for expressing a well-intentioned message to a friend.”

Child's drawing on white paper that says "Black Lives Mater any life" with four colored ovals underneath, held by a hand.

I know at least one child who is “pure of heart”.  He really doesn’t “see” color yet.  And he too is “pro life”.

“Suffer the little children to … …”

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

Gooferment Skrules are designed to produce cannon fodder for the Army, willing morons for the factories, and useful idiots to vote for and be led by the elite.  

For this “principal” to see racism is the problem.

Argh!

NEWJERSEY: Garden State Gov. Mikie Sherrill positioned herself as a reasonable, middle-of-the-road candidate — fooled some of us!

Texas Democrat James Talarico’s ‘moderate’ act exposes his party’s new scam

So voters need to look deeper at these “normal” Democrats, because the staid moderate act only lasts so long.

Just look at New Jersey and Virginia, whose new governors both veered sharply left after running “moderate” campaigns.

Garden State Gov. Mikie Sherrill positioned herself as a reasonable, middle-of-the-road candidate. She ran on affordability issues and rarely mentioned immigration.

Upon taking office, she immediately signed an executive order limiting United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity on state property — and started pushing a 7% sales tax hike.

*** end quote ***

​Two faced lying grifters.

But how do “we” fix it?

Clearly “We, The Sheeple” have no recourse to lying politicians, who fool us into voting for them.  We need a better “system” but I don’t know what that would be.

Perhaps, a smaller, more decentralized, prganizational principle might work better.

Instead of large “States”, we should have size limits based on area, population, and age distribution.  Maybe a “county” might be even too big.  It would have to balance overhead versus efficiency.   Now some municipalities are larger than foreign countries.  

States like Wyoming are not “equal” to cities like New York, Los Angeles, or any big metro area.  Imagine the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerk being divided into governing bodies of less than 100,000 people?  Power to the people!

Technology makes smaller governance groups possible without travel.

I’m waiting for details.

I hope someone will supply a really <synonym for the act of procreation in real time> good reason why three souls had to die.

And, it better not be because Israel needs “leadership change” in Iran.

“Knowing the insureds face more than 1,500 Underlying claims involving allegations of the gravest magnitude, Chubb reassured them to their face while secretly stabbing them in the back for years,” church lawyers said in the filing. “Such fraud and sabotage easily meet the threshold for moral culpability necessary for punitive damages.”

Disney reveals enormous $38M pay package for new CEO Josh D’Amaro
By Ariel Zilber
Published Feb. 3, 2026, 10:32 a.m. ET

*** begin quote ***

D’Amaro, the head of Disney theme parks, will earn an annual base salary of $2.5 million as well as a one-time bonus of $9.75 million once he takes over the helm, according to SEC filings.

Each year that D’Amaro serves as CEO, he will receive a long-term stock incentive of $26.2 million as well as an annual bonus of 250% of his base salary on the condition that he meets certain performance goals.

*** end quote ***

Sorry, but I don’t believe that ANY C level of anything should be paid more than the President.

It’s “unseemly” and well as an insult to any wage slave.

AT BEST, the CEO should receive any “excessive compensation” (i.e., more than the President of the USA) in the form on non-transferable corporate bonds or corporate shares laddered over say 50 years.  Gone are the days when we should allow the “managerial class” to rob the corporation and shareholders of their wealth by pursuing short-range plans to jack up the stock price and leave with tremendous windfalls while the corporation spirals into bankruptcy!  Leaving the stockholders and stakeholders (i.e., employees; suppliers; related businesses) holding the “bag” of the corporation’s losses.  Thinking specifically of GM that got a Gooferment bailout and everyone else involved get screwed.

So, since “corporations” are a creation of the Gooferment, and sometimes treated like real people, it seems reasonable that there should be some ground rules about what they can and can not do.  In addition to compensation restrictions, I don’t think that they should be able to contribute money to anything but dividend to their shareholders.  

I’m tired of playing in a rigged game.

POLICY: We need to “correct” “birth tourism” and “anchor babies” for “tourists” AND illegal immigrants!

How China supercharged ‘birth tourism’ and scammed American citizenship for up to 1.5 million babies
By Peter Schweizer
Published Jan. 29, 2026, 6:30 a.m. ET

*** begin quote ***

“Birth tourism” — where pregnant women have their child on America soil to become citizens — has been happening for decades. But Chinese elites have “weaponized” the practice, says author Peter Schweizer, raising a generation of legal citizens who have no loyalty to the US. In this excerpt from his new book, “The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon,” he explains how.

*** and ***

Since the US government does not directly track birth tourism, we must rely on estimates. In 2012, one nonprofit calculated that about 36,000 foreign-born women gave birth in the United States and then left the country.

Without a doubt, DJT47 needs to eliminate these loopholes.

We need to “correct” this for tourists AND illegal immigrants!

ConspiracyTheories: Second shooter in JFK assassination

JFK assassination film held by feds could be worth $900M – and could prove 2nd shooter on ‘grassy knoll’
By Geoff Earle
Published Feb. 1, 2026, 3:38 p.m. ET

*** begin quote ***

A 62-year-old home movie could blow the JFK assassination wide open — and prove once and for all there was a second shooter on the grassy knoll that fateful day.

The grainy 8mm footage, captured by Dallas air conditioner repairman Orville Nix as bullets ripped through Dealey Plaza on Nov. 22, 1963, hasn’t been seen since 1978, when it was sent away for analysis by an LA company and later fell under federal ownership – although the feds claim they don’t have it.

Nix died in 1972, and his granddaughter picked up from her late dad the legal war to recover his film — which she’s convinced is worth more than $900 million as it may hold the key to exposing one of history’s biggest coverups.

Now a federal judge has ruled that the battle over the film can go forward — and the footage might finally see the light of day.

“Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago’s death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post.

DISCOURAGING: Catholic youth basketball game parents set a new low bar for conduct

Parents erupt into massive brawl during Catholic youth basketball game in Staten Island

Spectators ejected by a referee for disruptive behavior at a CYO basketball game will now face a one-year ban.

“The mission was about the kids,” Fossella, whose children reportedly played CYO basketball, said during a press conference.

“The mission was about teaching them responsibility. The mission was about them having a good time: the kids. The kids are the center of this universe here. And every once in a while some spectators get out of control and ruin it for the kids and ruin it for everybody else.”

*** end quote ***

Hard to imagine that could occur.

When my sainted wife was coaching 6-8 grade girls basketball, she had ONE instance where ONE parent was getting “too EXCITED with the refs”.   She immediately called a (valuable) time out, left the team with her assistant and me, stomped across the court, and QUIETLY read the parent the riot act.  That was the last we ever heard him do that at a game. The Old Lady didn’t want any <synonym for excrement> distracting “her” girls.  

Hopefully all involved are properly “instructed in the error of their ways”.   For Catholics to behave like common street thugs is a terrible example to set for their children, other children, and the world in general.
