Still Not Eaten by the Leopard Seal

ToThePointNews November 23, 2025

When penguins in Antarctica get hungry, they get nervous. Grouped together on an iceberg, none of them wants to be the first to jump in the water and go fishing — because there just might be a leopard seal waiting for them. There’s nothing in the sea a leopard seal finds more tasty to eat than fresh penguin.

So the waddle (on land or ice, a group of penguins is a waddle; in the water, it’s a raft) bunches together, the ones in the back pushing forward, the ones in the front backing up away from the ice edge. When

Completely Out of the Box

ToThePointNews November 23, 2025

Jack Wheeler
Strategic Investor, July 2001

The origin of the phrase “thinking out of the box” comes from an intelligence test called the Nine Dot Box. Imagine three rows of three dots, each equally spaced some distance apart on a regular piece of paper. The task is to connect the dots with a minimum number of lines drawn by a pen or pencil. The only rules are: you must draw a line through every dot once and only once, all lines must be straight (no curves), and your pen/pencil cannot leave the paper.

Most people cannot figure out how to do

Why the Clinton White House Went After Microsoft

ToThePointNews November 23, 2025

Early last October, a senior White House henchman, let’s call him Richard Head, paid Janet Reno a visit. The conversation went something like this.

Head: Ms. Reno, the president is very concerned that you do the right thing regarding criminal investigations of his administration.

Reno: That’s reassuring, Richard — may I call you Dick?

Head: Yes — so we at the White House would like you to prosecute Bill.

Reno (spilling her coffee): Prosecute the president? But I thought no matter how massive the evidence against him, I was to stonewall…

Head: No, Ms. Reno, that’s the wrong Bill —

PROUDER THAN EVER

ToThePointNews November 23, 2025

[Written ten days after the start of The War in Iraq, March 31, 2003]

Let me say it straight. I am almost sixty years old, and I have never in my life been prouder to be an American than I am today.

I was talking to my friend Tony Blankley, editorial editor of the Washington Times, the other day, and when I compared George Bush to Ronald Reagan, Tony replied, “It may turn out to be the other way around.”

FLASHBACK FRIDAY: THE TURFAN OASIS

Dr. Jack Wheeler November 21, 2025

The Turfan Oasis in East Turkestan is far older than the Silk Road. Sitting in the Turfan Depression, second lowest on earth at over 500 feet below sea level) with a climate perfect for agriculture (like grapes for wine!), it was first settled by the Caucasian Tocharians some 4,000 years ago.

Over time it was absorbed into various empires ruling the Tarim Basin encircling the empty Takla Makan desert – proto-Mongols, the Tang Dynasty, the expanded Tibetan Empire at its height in the700s AD, Buddhist Uyghurs, and Genghiz’s Mongols. By the 1400s, the people of Turfan were mostly Buddhist or Nestorian Christian. By the end of the 15^th century, they were ruled by the Moslem Moghuls who converted them to Islam.

Turfan was a key trading oasis on the Northern Silk Road which Marco Polo’s father and uncle, Niccolo and Maffeo traversed in 1266 to meet Mongol Emperor Kublai Khan. (Marco’s route with them in 1271 took the less-traveled Southern Silk Road underneath or south of the Takla Makan). I traversed both Silk Roads in 2008. Here I am at the Emin Minaret in Turfan. It’s a fabulous place to explore. Maybe some day again? (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #239 photo ©Jack Wheeler)

LATEST TUCKER GUEST BIGFOOT REVEALS HOW MIND-CONTROLLING CHEMTRAILS ARE SPRAYED OVER THE FLAT EARTH BY THE JEWS

Guest Author November 21, 2025

WOODSTOCK, ME — Political commentator Tucker Carlson sparked controversy this week when he welcomed Bigfoot onto his show to discuss how mind-controlling chemtrails are sprayed over the flat earth by the Jews.

Viewers were shocked to learn that not only was Bigfoot real, but that the popular cryptid had been following conspiracy news for decades. Carlson nodded along with his guest, genuinely interested in what it had to say about Ben Shapiro.

Bigfoot, who spoke with a series of unintelligible growls and whistles, was adamant that the Jews were behind the chemtrails and that it was all part of an elaborate scheme to make people falsely believe that the earth is round. Bigfoot, a self-proclaimed expert on chemtrails, also added that the moon landing was faked (because the moon is, in actuality, made of cheese) and that jet fuel can't melt steel beams.

"So you're saying Israel — who I have no real problem with by the way, like at all — is directly responsible for everything that is wrong with society today, and that it can all be linked to chemtrails?" Carlson said, seemingly pushing back on his guest before immediately reversing course and agreeing with everything that was said. "That's a bold claim, and I have no reason to dispute it, of course, because it's obviously true."

The new episode of Carlson's show garnered tens of thousands of views within hours of going live. Several viewers commented on how strange it was to have the first-ever sit-down interview with Bigfoot in history and not try to learn more about his guest. "They spent all their time talking about Israel," commented @Abe333. "I wanted to hear more about Bigfoot."

Daily Wire host Ben Shapiro blasted the interview as divisive. "I have no problem with Tucker interviewing Bigfoot. But to sit there and listen to Bigfoot lecture us on chemtrails when he has no firsthand experience is just ludicrous," he said. "Bigfoot literally described planes as stone birds, and Tucker just nodded along. It's hard for me not to believe Tucker agrees with him, and that he has no idea what airplanes are either."

HALF-FULL REPORT 11/21/25

Dr. Jack Wheeler November 21, 2025

You knew it would come to this. Dems are so infected with TDS they have increasingly been driven out of their minds until now, finally, they have jumped the shark into full-blown, flat-out, unvarnished treason and actual criminal mental illness.

Remember the date, Tuesday November 18, when: Six Democrats Openly Call For Military And Intelligence Services To Disobey President Trump’s Orders.

Remember their names: Democrat Senators Elissa Slotkin, of Michigan; Mark Kelly, of Arizona; U.S. Reps. Chris Deluzio, of Pennsylvania; Maggie Goodlander, of New Hampshire; Chrissy Houlahan, of Pennsylvania; and Jason Crow, of Colorado.

On that day, these Seditious Six posted a video on X entitled Don’t Give Up The Ship. This is what Treason looks like:

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.
The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.

Don’t give up the ship. pic.twitter.com/N8lW0EpQ7r

— Sen. Elissa Slotkin (@SenatorSlotkin) November 18, 2025

POTUS is absolutely right, they all belong in prison.

A lot more here, fellow TTPers. You’ll be amazed at how Trump in his first term was betrayed by his own people too. Here we go…

WHERE THE SOVIET UNION STILL EXISTS

Dr. Jack Wheeler November 20, 2025

Welcome to Transnistria, where Lenin still lives. The strangest country in Europe is a narrow sliver of landlocked land along the east side of the Dnieper River sandwiched between Moldova and Ukraine. When both declared independence as the Soviet Union broke apart in 1991, the people here decided they were still part of the USSR even though it had ceased to exist.

The half-million Transnistrians are still pretending their country is a Soviet Socialist Republic. Lenin statues abound, the hammer & sickle is on their flag, the state media broadcasts stories about “glorious Soviet history.” Meanwhile, Transnistria’s economy is doing well thanks to bountiful Kremlin subsidies and as a haven for the Russian mob. In the capital of Tiraspol I saw Beemers, Bentleys, and even a Corvette Sting Ray cruising the streets. Restaurants and bars are packed. Kids are well-dressed. That’s a gaggle of them you see above happily playing on a Russian tank in a park.

Maybe it’s all kind of a funny game to everyone here. As an American I was welcomed with smiles. You will be too if you visit – it’s a truly unique experience! (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #69 photo ©Jack Wheeler)

A SIMPLE TOOL FOR MANAGING EMOTIONS

Guest Author November 20, 2025

Getting overwhelmed or misled by our emotions can be a source of significant trouble. Emotions are not simple, but sometimes there are simple actions we can take to manage complex things.

Today let’s look at a simple way to avoid getting overwhelmed by your emotions.

When people were treated for phobias, practicing this simple skill lowered their fear by over 18%, and their psychological reactivity by over 27%. They also were less constricted generally, shifting from feeling a sense of threat to a sense of opportunity.
When feeling stress, using this technique led to people having 40% fewer alcoholic drinks when they went to a bar or party than those who did not use this technique.
When feeling angry with someone, those using this technique were 40% less verbally and physically aggressive than those who did not.
Rejection brings with it actual pain. When feeling rejected, those using this technique showed less activity in the parts of the brain connected to physical and emotional pain.

Using this simple tool can help us to deal with emotionally upsetting situations with a greater sense of calm and competence.

Okay, enough buildup, here’s the skill…

‘JOBS AMERICANS WON’T DO’ – THE LIE THAT BROKE A NATION

Guest Author November 20, 2025

Charlotte, N.C., is making headlines this week because dozens of construction sites have gone silent. ICE swept through the region, and the labor force evaporated almost instantly.

A major American city discovered, in real time, that its building boom was being held together by workers who couldn’t legally be there.

Watching that footage hit me hard, because I’ve seen it before — not on the evening news, but in the slow collapse of my own childhood community.

I grew up forty miles north of Louisville, Ky., in a one-stoplight town held together by tobacco, construction, and the kinds of gritty jobs that built the region’s character.

My dad ran a small construction contracting business and held a small tobacco base, which gives you the legal right to grow a certain weight of tobacco.

My brothers and I worked tobacco as teenagers, starting at 12 or 13, and my brothers did construction with Dad as soon as we were old enough to hold a hammer.

Then illegal labor arrived, and things began to shift.

THE MONEY THAT MADE US HUMAN

Dr. Jack Wheeler November 19, 2025

[Joel Wade’s Keeping Your Sanity Through the Virtue of Trade and Money bears directly upon this. Money and trade are what have made us human for 90 millennia.]

On display in the National Museum of Congo in Brazzaville: “Ancient Money.” I took the picture because this is the money that made us human 90,000 years ago. They are tiny Nassarius gibbosulus estuarine snail shells too small for food, perforated with small holes to string on a necklace, used as money “before the establishment of the CFA” as the sign says, the Central Africa Franc in 1945.

These are the same species of shell that was the first jewelry in history unearthed at seashore sites in Morocco and hundreds of miles inland in Algeria some 90kya (thousand years ago) – meaning they were traded. For the first time in history, a species began to exchange things between unrelated unmarried individuals to share, swap, barter and trade, and over great distances.

Other animals do not barter. This, maintains science author Matt Ridley, is what made us distinctly human, enabling us to cooperate with other groups or tribes, to innovate, to evolve ever more complex cultures. This little shell, used as money, is the founding of human culture. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #61 photo ©Jack Wheeler)

UNDERSTANDING TASERS

Guest Author November 19, 2025

The family of weapons currently manufactured by Axon Incorporated known as the TASERs have been around since the 1980s and have been evolving since then.

The term came from “Thomas A. Swift’s Electric Rifle” in the related book, published in 1911, which was a fanciful weapon foreshadowing the “blaster” of contemporary science fiction.

The first model was invented by a NASA engineer, with limited market. In the 1990s the brand was revitalized, and eventually gave us the models we associate with the “TASER” name today.

Law enforcement was the original user of the TASER, but the many practical limitations on the nature of the devices prevented their widespread use for first responders. The one those of us in law enforcement were really “waiting for” showed up around 2003 in the form of the Taser X26.

The system in that highly portable weapon produces an effect on the target person that we call “NMI” or “neuro-muscular incapacitation” in which the electrical currents going between the probes painfully lock up the muscles near the skin, stimulating both sensory and motor nerves at the same time. This drops a person like the proverbial sack of potatoes—after the French Fry cutter.

REALITY CAUGHT UP TO ‘CLIMATE CHANGE’

Guest Author November 19, 2025

For decades, the monolithic and sacrosanct international climate change hierarchy went unquestioned.

Western nations in particular spent trillions of dollars over the past half-century to subsidize expensive but erratic wind and solar energy while demonizing carbon fuels as toxic threats to the planet.

Like Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion dogma, climate change orthodoxy was embedded into every aspect of Western culture, from the corporate boardroom to the university campus.

Question whether man-made global warming was truly responsible for increased temperatures rather than natural, often centuries-long cycles of heating and cooling of the planet, and one was labeled a climate crank.

Everything from declining fertility to forest fires was ridiculously attributed to climate change.

But the causes of both demographic crises and charred landscapes were more likely the result of new affluent lifestyles that saw child-rearing as too expensive and time-consuming, and misguided forest policies or underfunded firefighting.

Yet reality has caught up with the near-religious climate change cult.

AWE AT RILA

Dr. Jack Wheeler November 18, 2025

In a hidden remote mountain valley there is a Christian monastery built over a thousand years ago by the students of a hermit who became the patron saint of Bulgaria, St. John of Rila. The colonnade you see leaves you awe-struck. Earthquakes, fire, pillaging by Ottoman raiders, all through the centuries the Rila monks would build it back ever-better and care for it immaculately.

It is little wonder that the Rila Monastery is a World Heritage Site. The picture you see is only one small section of the magnificent frescoes of the exterior archways – and the interior is equally extraordinary. There are nine more World Heritage sites in this Virginia-size country, like the 3,000 year-old (and still flourishing) city of Nessebar on the Black Sea. Bulgaria is one of Europe’s true undiscovered gems. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #74 photo ©Jack Wheeler)

CONTROL THE HEMISPHERE, CONTAIN CHINA

Guest Author November 18, 2025

USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) conducts high-speed turns in the Atlantic Ocean — USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) conducts high-speed turns in the Atlantic Ocean

The USS Gerald R. Ford’s gray silhouette cutting across the Caribbean horizon marks a decisive shift in American statecraft: U.S. foreign policy is focusing intensely on the Western Hemisphere and the Indo-Pacific.

From the Ford’s slow approach to Venezuelan waters to escalating trade tensions with Canada and early signs of a harder U.S. line toward Mexico and migration, Washington’s attention is once again concentrated on the regions most vital to its security and power.

This is no tactical coincidence. It reflects a deliberate recalibration under President Trump, binding hemispheric defense to the broader logic of great-power competition.

The United States is refortifying its neighborhood not as a retreat from global leadership, but as the bedrock from which it intends to sustain it.

The official story, of course, is that the Ford’s presence off Venezuela is part of an anti-drug, anti-cartel mission.

The larger calculus, however, is clear enough: it is about demonstrating and regaining U.S. maritime and aerial supremacy in its southern approaches, and about showing that no outside power — China, Russia or Iran — will be allowed to establish a permanent presence in the Americas.
