There’s nothing more ugly, than a beautiful woman lying.
You can quote me. In eight months I will be eighty. I’ve had my fill of beautiful women lying to me – and withholding love and affection in order to get their way!
KRISTI NOEM IS AN UGLY LIAR. SO IS LEAVITT AND RENA
Rena Easton lied to Deputy Sherriff, Dan Mayland when she told him I was stalking her. Belle Burch lied when she said the same thing.
On this day, January 25, 2026, I John Presco, whose ancestor is Rev. John Wilson, dedicate the rest of my life to repealing
THE NINETEENTH AMMENDMENT
I believe evil women have taken control of thousands of evangelical churches, and encourage their MAN, to act like gun goons and Nazis. Instead if seeing Trump and other powerful men EXPOSED for their Epstein sex-sins and abuse of children, the fake President of the United States uses women like his personal whores to exact revenge on millions of real American Citizens, by taking away as many Civil Liberties as he can, and…..EXCUSING MURDER!
I watched Senator Markey of Massencnhetts vow to take away funding and evil permission from Stan GTrumt – who is Satan! Trump made a liar out of Charlie Kirk – who was an
ELECTION DENIAR
In my theological novel, ‘Where Art Thou’ I have a theory that God’s prohibition against partaking of the the fruit of a tree, is in fact a prohibition against TATOOS that could have been adopted by Jewish Women when they dwelt amongst the Ethiopians for a undetermined length of time. These tattoos were Marks of Good and Bad Knowledge, They kept you from getting sick, and protected you from evil spells being cast on you. Thee is nothing about…
THE LAWS OF GOD AND THE RULE OF LAW
Many Christian Women were against women having the vote due to what they read in the Bible. How many Christian Women choose to ignore these words – that came directly from God – to Moses!
QUOTE:
Deut. 24:17-18 Do not deprive the alien or the fatherless of justice, or take the cloak of the widow as a pledge. Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and the LORD your God redeemed you from there. That is why I command you to do this.
I have long suspected the WOAD plant is the forbidden plant. I am looking at THE SEA PEOPLE bringing the woad into the fertile crescent. The Scythians may have brought the art of tattooing to England. Wondering about these mysterious things, has entertained this old many for almost forty years. As death come nears, I wonder if the Royal Stewarts undermined the Puritan Plan in Boston.
On this day, God takes away the Right to Vote from…

“Many Christian women, driven by religious convictions regarding gender roles, actively fought against women’s suffrage. They often believed in a “domestic sphere” where men represented the household politically, arguing that women’s involvement in politics was contrary to biblical teachings. Some anti-suffragists, including prominent women, feared that voting would undermine family structures and Christian society.
EXTRA! I just saw a video on CNN that shows an agent getting Alex’s gun. I now believe both killings – were deliberate! I suspect project 2025 is employing Orwell’s novel 1984 on the enemies of the White American Jesus. This is aimed at rendering secular people , that are not blessed by them – useless. Are they for rendering the Constitution, useless?. They have THEIR OWN NEW CONSTITUTION waring in the wings. I employ getting rid of the 19th, as a tool to stop this…
RELIGIOUS INSURETION
IF YOU DONT HONOR THE 1st and 2nd – abolish them all!
REPEAL THE RIGHT OF WOMEN TO VOTE IN AMERICA!
EXTRA! Bondi just asked the Governor to turn over voting records, and a list of people who get Food Stamps. I suspect Trump believes the Democrats allowed aliens to come in so they can tip the vote, and, they are housed and fed to earn their loyalty, I suspect the people who are accused of using innocent alien, are seen as
SUBHUMAN
The attorney general then makes three demands of Walz in her letter, which she writes can “bring an end to the chaos in Minnesota”: 1) share state records of everyone who is collecting welfare, 2) repeal state sanctuary policies, and 3) allow the Justice Department to access Minnesota’s voter rolls ahead of upcoming elections.
EXTRA! Read this!
Another accepted “fact” often cited centres on the belief that Woad would have been used
Here’s what Josephus has to say:
“However, while Moses was uneasy at the army’s lying idle, (for the enemies durst not come to a battel,) this accident happened; Tharbis was the daughter of the King of the Ethiopians: she happened to see Moses, as he led the army near to the walls, and fought with great courage: and admiring the subtilty of his undertakings, and believing him to be the author of the Egyptian success, when they had before despaired of recovering their liberty; and to be the occasion of the great danger the Ethiopians were in, when they had before boasted of their great atchievements, she fell deeply in love with him: and upon the prevalency of that passion, sent to him the most faithful of all her servants to discourse with him upon their marriage. He thereupon accepted the offer, on condition she would procure the delivering up of the city; and gave her the assurance of an oath to take her to his wife: and that when he had once taken possession of the city he would not break his oath to her. No sooner was the agreement made, but it took effect immediately: and when Moses had cut off the Ethiopians, he gave thanks to God, and consummated his marriage, and led the Egyptians back to their own land.”

This might be the most prophetic post in human history. It is January 10, 2026 and the demonstration against the murder of Renee is growing. Deputy Sheriff, Dan Mayland is on horseback under the clocktower. In 2014 he called me from Bozeman Montana and said Rena Easton filed stalking charges – after I wrote her a long letter, in responce to her long letter and poem.All I got is a P.O.Box. Dan admittd he saw nothing wrong with my letter Then he said
“You know how some women are!”
I have visions of a Cultural Showdown, where Van Gough and Antonin Artaud show up. They are……FOREIGNERS! OUTSIDERS! Kurt Vonnegut – is dead. His Breakfast of Champions – is a immortal story.
The words that came out of the mouth of Kristi Noem, will live in infamy. The head of Homeland Security has declared war on Terrorist Ramming With Vehicles – which is next to flying jets into tall buildings. Renee had been demonized for having her dog onboard. This dog was taken hostage. And like the passengers on 911, were utterly helpless – but for the braves souls on one flight.
High Noon Covfefe
You do realize CEO Jeff Laszloffy needs sinners and the transgender folks to make his life work – and his Holy Foundation?
“Laszloffy is no good until he has his covfefe!”
What is COVFEFE? It is a wicked coffee bean being brought West on a train by Antonin Artaud, Gertrude Stein, Van Gough, and Hemingway. The Satanic Four have a wicked desire to convert Montana into a Pink FeFe State by having the Montanians drink The Devil’s Seed of Conversion. This BAD NEWS will perk Lazloffy up. No doubt he will pass out more yellow scarves to protect the delicate necks of his Dull Believers, who are not who they used to be. They were very dull to begin with. Then, they got bored out on that vast Bozeman plain that is turning out to be The Devil’s Stage’. Look out when White People get bored – in the name of The End Time Jesus!
The two horseman under the two clocks accent my High Noon masterpiece I have been working on for three years. Jeff and Greg gather the Chozen Ones in the Montana State Capitol of The Holy Last Chance, and await the Christian Passover. Those wearing a yellow scarf will be spared. Those without the scarf, will be turned into French Speakers – for starters! Artaud is coming!

Deut. 10:17-19 For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes. He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the alien, giving him food and clothing. And you are to love those who are aliens, for you yourselves were aliens in Egypt.
Deut. 24:17-18 Do not deprive the alien or the fatherless of justice, or take the cloak of the widow as a pledge. Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and the LORD your God redeemed you from there. That is why I command you to do this.
Deut. 14:28-29 At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes of that year’s produce and store it in your towns, so that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the aliens, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, and SO THAT the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
On Thanksgiving Eve, I found a essay that suggests agents were sent from England to destroy John Wilson’s Colony that King Charles was threatening to destroy – with his Royal Fleet. This would have been the first British Invasion of an American Colony.
The Puritan Leader – John Wilson – And Gun Control

“During the event he attended, says Campbell, Kirk misappropriated quotes from the Bible in order to make it sound like God wanted Christians to be armed to the teeth with firearms.
“I was absolutely terrified and horrified,” Campbell tells the Globe and Mail.”
In almost every discussion on Gun Control, this title is invoked….Founding Fathers! My ninth grandfather is the Puritan Leader – John Wilson. He considered taking away the guns of the Antiomians, and sending them out into the wilderness that was full of hostile natives. They would not have a gun to hunt with, or, use weapons to compete in the Fur Trade. The followers of Anne Hutchinson were giving their guns, and told to get away from the Colony. They went South, and ended up owning plantation run by the black slaves they purchased in order to compete with the settlers there. The authors of our Constitution descended from these rival Puritan groups, and wrote a document to UNITE THEM. This is why slaves were not set free. The ancient controversy that Paul created when he did away with Mosaic Law, was settled when Non-Semitic Men, who were of the Protestant Faith, made National Laws, that were of a SECULAR NATURE, but, maybe not. Was the Pauline Schism ever resolved?
Pastor Campbell is probably referring how armed Christians are getting permission to target Non-Christians from Revelations, that has very little to do with the teaching and mission of Jesus. Otherwise he would have given these revelations from the get. Christians have been at war with other Christians for hundreds of years. The Puritans were involved in the English Civil War. Everyone had to be a Christian. The Salem Witch Trials was an attempt to ferret out the pretenders.
Today is the day after Thanksgiving. Let us trust our short American History, contains the best answers to the problems – that have confronted every American. In this…We are Equal!

WASHINGTON — A mob derailed the typically routine process of Congress certifying the presidential election results on Wednesday, with both chambers abruptly recessing after President Donald Trump’s supporters clashed with police and forced their way into the U.S. Capitol.
VP Vance suggested Left-wing Lunatics who advocate violence, should try voting to het their way. His words, and that of Trump and his LAWPOKES have shut down THE LAW as a recourse, and pray down on their knees that THE PEOPLE resort to violence and rioting, so they don’t lose the House and Senate in a year.
Vance said Renee Nicole Good, was part of a conspiracy of Left-wing terrorists, who hate the reelection of Trump who is doing the will of the American People, in deporting a million illegal aliens. Vance said THE PRESS is in on this plot, and, people are being – PAID! Vance said these PAID agitators should TRY VOTING instead of engaging in Anti-American Lunacy.
What Vance conducted was a Good ‘Ol Redneck Trial. where a bunk of fake Bootleggers conducting a Witch Trial in the backwoods where gun loving, Bible thumping He-men know God’s Ways – are the best ways. And, there is not going to be an investigation – or trial! Case Closed!
In my last post I describe the horrific SLAUGHTER of Puppy, who died because the Mafia WAS LOSING IT’S COURTCASE. I HAD A TERRIFIC YOUNG LAWYER who wiped their ass in a Court of Law – fifty feet from where John Kennedy lived when he ran for President.
To see the heads of the U.S. Government do what the Mafia did to Puppy, and make political hay with the SLAUGHTER of a unarmed woman – is the very evil bottom of the demise of our Democracy. For the head of Homeland Security to put on a huge cowboy hat, is reminiscent of the cowboy hats George W, Bush wore – as he invented lies that caused our troops to die in Iraq – and now Venezuela?
When I posted on the murder of Renee Nicole Good, I was going to include the killing of Ashli Babbit that Right-wing Lunatics call an act of murder by a police officer.
I just discovered the maiden name of America’s first LAWPOKE is
Kristi Lynn Arnold
WTF?
The officer who was quick on the draw, was dragged fifty feet by a car awhile back, and had thirty stiches to close the wound. Why in God’s name would he step in front of a running car – ever again! Surely his boss at the station gave him hell. What if – this was staged? Did the last attack by auto get allot attention? Why didn’t this Lawpoke – jump out of the way? It’s like he was playing Matador. Did he want to get
GRAZED?
He points his weapon at Renee Nicole Good‘s head that is three feet away from the muzzle of his SHOOTER – and fires two shots. No other officer pulls their weapon. Why? Did they know the DESIGNATED SHOOTER was on the scene> How many millions of Americans think this was a GOOD SHOT?

Ashli Babbitt, Jan. 6 insurrectionist portrayed as martyr by some, had violent past
Nation Jan 3, 2022 11:07 AM EST
WASHINGTON (AP) — The first time Celeste Norris laid eyes on Ashli Babbitt, the future insurrectionist had just rammed her vehicle three times with an SUV and was pounding on the window, challenging her to a fight.
Norris says the bad blood between them began in 2015, when Babbitt engaged in a monthslong extramarital affair with Norris’ longtime live-in boyfriend. When she learned of the relationship, Norris called Babbitt’s husband and told him she was cheating.
“She pulls up yelling and screaming,” Norris said in an exclusive interview with The Associated Press, recounting the July 29, 2016, road-rage incident in Prince Frederick, Maryland. “It took me a good 30 seconds to figure out who she was. … Just all sorts of expletives, telling me to get out of the car, that she was going to beat my ass.”

Babbitt was later charged with numerous misdemeanors.
The attack on Norris is an example of erratic and sometimes threatening behavior by Babbitt, who was shot by a police officer while at the vanguard of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. Former President Donald Trump and his supporters have sought to portray her as a righteous martyr who was unjustly killed. The officer who shot her was cleared of any wrongdoing by two federal investigations.
But the life of the Air Force veteran from California who died while wearing a Trump campaign flag wrapped around her shoulders like a cape, was far more complicated than the heroic portrait presented by Trump and his allies.
In the months before her death, Babbitt had become consumed by pro-Trump conspiracy theories and posted angry screeds on social media. She also had a history of making violent threats.
Babbitt, 35, was fatally shot while attempting to climb through the broken window of a barricaded door leading to the Speaker’s Lobby inside the Capitol, where police officers were evacuating members of Congress from the mob supporting Trump’s false claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.
Her husband, Aaron, declined to comment in October when a reporter knocked on the door of the San Diego apartment he shared with Ashli and another woman. In a June interview with Tucker Carlson of Fox News, Babbitt said he has been sickened by some of what he has seen written about his deceased wife.
“There’s never been a person who Ashli ran across in her daily life that didn’t love her,” said Babbitt, 40.
That is not how Norris viewed her.
Court records involving the 2016 violent confrontation between Babbitt and Norris have previously been reported by media outlets, including the AP. But Norris, now 39, agreed to speak about it publicly for the first time in an interview with the AP and shared previously unreported details. She also provided documents and photos from the crash scene to support her account.
Norris was in a six-year relationship with Aaron Babbitt when she said she learned he was cheating on her with a married co-worker from his job as a security guard at a nuclear power plant near the Chesapeake Bay. She eventually found out the other woman was Ashli McEntee, who at the time went by the last name of her then-husband.
Norris said she tried for a few months to salvage her relationship with Aaron Babbitt before finally deciding to move out of their house. Within days, Norris said, Ashli moved in.
A few weeks later, Norris was waiting at a stop sign in Prince Frederick, about an hour southeast of Washington, D.C., when she says a white Ford Explorer passed her going the other direction.
Norris saw the SUV pulling a U-turn before speeding up behind her. She recounts that the SUV’s driver began swerving erratically, laying on the horn and attempting to pass a Chevrolet Suburban that was in between them on the narrow two-lane road.
When the driver of the Chevy pulled over, Norris said the white Ford SUV accelerated and rammed into her rear bumper. She said the SUV rammed her a second time and then a third, all while the vehicles continued to roll down the road.
After Norris dialed 911, an emergency dispatcher advised her to pull over to the shoulder and stop. As she waited for help, Babbitt got out of her vehicle and came up to Norris’ driver’s-side window, banging on the glass.
A case report from the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office obtained by the AP shows Ashli Babbitt was issued a criminal summons on charges of reckless endangerment, a misdemeanor punishable by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. She was also charged with malicious destruction of property for the damage to Norris’ vehicle.
Court records show those charges were later updated to include traffic offenses — reckless driving, negligent driving and failure to control a vehicle’s speed to avoid a collision.
Photos from the scene provided to the AP by Norris show Babbitt’s white Ford Explorer with its front bumper smashed in. The SUV’s grill is also pushed in and the hood dented. The rear bumper of Norris’ Escape is pushed in on the passenger side, with the detached Maryland license plate from the front bumper of Babbitt’s SUV wedged into it.
Norris later got a judicial order that barred Ashli Babbitt from attempting to contact Norris, committing further acts of violence against her and going to her home or workplace.
In the weeks after the incident, Norris said Babbitt falsely claimed to authorities that the collisions had occurred when Norris repeatedly backed her vehicle into Babbitt’s SUV. But when the case went to trial, Norris said, Babbitt changed her story, admitting under oath that she had collided with Norris’ vehicle but portraying it as an accident.
No transcript from the hearing was available, but Norris said the lawyer defending Babbitt made repeated references to her employment at the local nuclear power plant and years of military service, which included deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. A judge acquitted Babbitt on the criminal charges.
In February 2017, records show Norris asked for and received a second peace order against Ashli Babbitt, citing ongoing harassment and stalking.
“I lived in fear because I didn’t know what she was capable of,” Norris told the AP. “I was constantly looking over my shoulder.”
In 2019, Norris filed a personal injury lawsuit against Ashli Babbitt, seeking $74,500 in damages, and she said she settled out of court with Babbitt’s insurance carrier for an undisclosed sum.
By then, Aaron and Ashli had moved to California, where she grew up and still had family.

On December 12, 2026, at 2:30 AM. I heard on the news, Kristi Noem KILLED her dog! There have been debates as to calling it murder if a human kills an animal.
A sweek ago I contacted my old friend, Danny about the Bostone Mafia killing a puppy to get me to drop my case. He is my witness to how this has evolved into massive demonstrations over the murder of Renee Good – and the cover-up led by Vance and Noem. Did I see this coming. Yes. This leads me to announce I am the World Teacher the Theosophic Society predicted would come. They talk about Hidden Masters. I believe they are elected by historic and Moral events. Their hands are forced. They get many glimpses of who the are, but, come fully conscious of what they are in – a great emergency.

An avid hunter, Ms. Noem wrote that she had hoped to train Cricket to hunt pheasant, but that she proved “untrainable,” “dangerous to anyone she came in contact with” and “less than worthless” as a hunting dog. “I hated that dog,” Ms. Noem wrote, according to The Guardian.
It was after Cricket ruined a hunting trip, killed another family’s chickens and bit the governor that Ms. Noem recalled deciding to kill the dog; she shot Cricket in a gravel pit.
“Trump VP contender Kristi Noem brags about shooting her 14-month-old puppy to death.” And the Democratic National Committee issued a statement describing the passages as “disturbing and horrifying.”

Gov. Kristi Noem of South Dakota on Friday defended a story included in her forthcoming biography in which she describes killing a family dog on their farm, to her daughter’s distress — a grisly anecdote that instantly drew criticism from a number of political opponents.
Ms. Noem, a Republican who is widely seen as a contender to be former President Donald J. Trump’s running mate, shared details about shooting the 14-month-old dog, a female wirehaired pointer named Cricket, and an unnamed goat, according to excerpts first reported by The Guardian.
An avid hunter, Ms. Noem wrote that she had hoped to train Cricket to hunt pheasant, but that she proved “untrainable,” “dangerous to anyone she came in contact with” and “less than worthless” as a hunting dog. “I hated that dog,” Ms. Noem wrote, according to The Guardian.
It was after Cricket ruined a hunting trip, killed another family’s chickens and bit the governor that Ms. Noem recalled deciding to kill the dog; she shot Cricket in a gravel pit.
That was not the only blood Ms. Noem drew that day: She also shot a male goat that she called “nasty and mean.” Shot him twice, in fact: The goat jumped as she shot him the first time, according to The Guardian’s recounting of the book, so she fetched another shell and shot him again.
The whole ordeal was reportedly witnessed by a construction crew nearby. Ms. Noem wrote that as the workers returned to their jobs, a school bus came by to drop off her children.
Her daughter, Kennedy, Ms. Noem wrote, “looked around confused” and asked, “Hey, where’s Cricket?”
“I guess if I were a better politician, I wouldn’t tell the story here,” Ms. Noem wrote in the book, set to be published by Center Street on May 7. But she framed the day’s events as reflecting her willingness to do anything “difficult, messy and ugly,” whether that be in farm ownership or in politics.
The story drew condemnation on Friday from a swath of the political world, mainly to Ms. Noem’s left, including some anti-Trump Republicans and a number of Democrats. President Biden’s re-election campaign wrote on X that “Trump VP contender Kristi Noem brags about shooting her 14-month-old puppy to death.” And the Democratic National Committee issued a statement describing the passages as “disturbing and horrifying.”
Ms. Noem seized on The Guardian’s article to underscore her rural-America bona fides, promote her book and mock the news media. “We love animals, but tough decisions like this happen all the time on a farm,” she wrote Friday on X, adding that her family recently had to “put down” three horses.

She added that her book would contain “more real, honest, and politically INcorrect stories that’ll have the media gasping.”
Ms. Noem, who appeared with Mr. Trump at an event in Ohio last month, is one of several Republicans regularly mentioned as potential vice-presidential picks. At the Conservative Political Action Conference in February, she tied with Vivek Ramaswamy for first place in a poll of whom attendees wanted to see Mr. Trump select as a running mate.
She has routinely praised the former president and recently took part in an ad promoting her cosmetic dental work that some saw as a move to catch Mr. Trump’s attention, even as it drew legal scrutiny. In recent days, she has refused to say whether she would have certified the 2020 election on Jan. 6, 2021, and dodged questions on whether she supported exceptions to abortion bans in cases of rape or incest.
What Happened to Rennee’s Dog?
There was a black lab mix in the back seat, that may have been covered in blood like Renee’s wife. This old dog got thrown around when the car hit other cars and a telephone pole. Did I see this coming in my recall of the violent Mafia who butchered a lab puppy? The killer is given immunity. Trump came up with a hundred millions dollars to buy more Mafia-like gunmen.
STOP saying I am crazy. Thank God for friends like Danny Blake!
In addition to the stated objectives, as early as 1889 Blavatsky publicly declared that the purpose of establishing the Society was to prepare humanity for the reception of a World Teacher: according to the Theosophical doctrine described above, a manifested aspect of an advanced spiritual entity (the Maitreya) that periodically appears on Earth in order to direct the evolution of humankind. The mission of these reputedly regularly appearing emissaries is to practically translate, in a way and language understood by contemporary humanity, the knowledge required to propel it to a higher evolutionary stage.
The Link Between Animal Cruelty and Human Violence

The roles animals play in society are widespread, ranging from beloved family pets providing comfort, to law enforcement dogs tracking missing persons, to service animals providing critical assistance. Animals are part of nearly everyone’s life in some aspect. Unfortunately, as seen with children, without a voice of their own, animals are among the most vulnerable in society. This vulnerability places them at high risk for animal cruelty — intentional, harmful behavior such as neglecting or killing an animal.
Historically, animal cruelty has been considered an isolated issue, but recent research shows a well-documented link that it is a predictive or co-occurring crime with violence against humans (including intimate partners, children, and elders) and is associated with other types of violent offenses. Increased awareness of this linkage and a collaborative approach to these investigations strengthens the identification and reduction of such crimes.1
Recognizing animal cruelty as a serious violent offense has slowly developed over time. In the late 19th century, child abuse and animal welfare were closely associated within independent programs. However, during the 20th century, the government began to oversee child protection services, and private humane societies undertook animal welfare.2 This separation hindered the acknowledgement of the correlation between animal cruelty and domestic violence. As time has progressed, an increasing number of fields have acknowledged the correlation and seriousness of these crimes.3
