Scope and Service Comparison

1. Stormwater Facility Maintenance

• Kings Stormwater Services ($11,400): Focuses on two specific facilities (#188 Track 12 and #189 P/Track O). Their estimate lists a monthly rate over 12 months, suggesting year-round visits.
• Riparia ($8,600): Explicitly states 9 visits per year (April–December). Their scope includes detailed annual inspections with photo reports, vegetation control 4x/year, and specific debris removal (0.5 CY per visit). 

2. Open Tract / Vegetation Maintenance

• Kings Stormwater Services ($5,350): Covers Tract R and Tract J. Their quote specifies "Vegetation Maintenance" and "Mowing" for these areas.
• Riparia ($6,350): Provides a more detailed schedule: 4 visits (May, June, Aug, Nov) for invasive species spot spraying and 3 mows (2 in spring, 1 in fall) for the hillside and natural trail.

Key Considerations

• Visit Frequency: Kings' quote implies 12 months of service, whereas Riparia specifies a seasonal schedule (9 stormwater visits and 4 open tract visits).
• Detailed Reporting: Riparia’s scope includes formal inspection reports with findings and pictures submitted to the HOA - something the BOD had previously requested, not of King.
• Recommendation: The NWPW board note recommends Riparia for their "high quality of workmanship and professionalism" and experience on other projects - something that's highly suspect 
• If the board values year-round presence, Kings may be preferable.

Make Apes Great Again

Make Apes Great Again Truggers the NYT

When the New York Times finds it newsworthy to 'report'  on "a fake post that was designed to look as if it were from President Trump about a racist video he shared on social media spread widely online over the weekend, you know it lost control of the narrative

The 6,000 plus 'journalists' members of the Global Circular Reporting Mafia Ring led by the Atheist, Antisemitic, AntiChristian, AntiMuslim, AntiTrump NYT and NOTUS Previously funded by Samantha Power's USAID and Soros have lost control of the narrative and are now relegated to rehashing old news, writing hit pieces or  manufacturing news.

He who controls the narrative and the legacy media controls the people. 

He who controls the people can cancel the past.

Leading up to the 2024 election, the GCRMR controlled the chart of accounts via the Auto-Pen Administration and of course, controlled the narrative.

Then free speech broke out, courtesy of Elon Musk

The term 'racist' has been so overused, its shock value is less than a Zimbabwe dollar.

"Terrorists and bombs may break my bones, but insults will never hurt me" - Qur'an Surah Al-Muzzammil 73:10)

The GCRMR and  Democrats feigning righteous indignation over a 'racist post' should compare to insults hurled at President Trump.
Not counting death threats and attempted assassinations, the president has endured nonstop insults from the likes of
@RepShriThanedar, Rob Rainer and Democrats. Every word Joe Biden uttered was scripted by left-wing operatives with one goal: to demonize, slander, and weaponize against President Trump and silence conservative voices across America.

Comparing implied, explicit death threats and actual attemps against Obama, Biden and Trump shows

• Targeting: Trump has been a disproportionate target of violent rhetoric in recent years, accounting for 47% of all violent threats documented in a 2025–2026 dataset.

• Obama: Individuals were sentenced for threats made at rallies (e.g., "Kill him!") or in specific communications, such as a man who threatened to "hang" Obama in 2017.

The number of people successfully prosecuted for threats against Trump compared to Trump is inversely proportional:  more threats against Trump, less successful prosecutions

As @Grey4626 would say "Super Bowl LX is engineered to be the most vicious, deliberate insult  to America in the history of this republic, and they planned every second of it with cold, calculated malice. They picked Levi’s Stadium in the heart of woke California...ground zero for the cultural demolition crew...to stage this ritual humiliation.

Halftime? Bad Bunny. A Puerto Rican reggaeton star who will perform mostly in Spanish. First “Latino” solo headliner, first Spanish-language dominance on the biggest American stage. Not a coincidence. This is linguistic and cultural replacement in real time, broadcast to 100+ million people.

They want you to feel like a stranger in your own country.

Green Day opening? The same Billie Joe Armstrong who screamed “F America” and called Trump a Nazi on stage. They brought him back to desecrate the flag again while the crowd sings along.

Psychological warfare: normalize hatred of traditional America, make patriotism feel like the fringe position. Then the pre-kickoff circus: Coco Jones singing “Lift Every Voice and Sing”...the “Black national anthem” that conservatives correctly call divisive as hell. Charlie Puth and Brandi Carlile doing the actual anthem and “America the Beautiful,” but sandwiched between identity-politics theater so the real anthem feels like an afterthought.

Even Trump called this out...said the entertainment “sows hatred” and he’s skipping the game. But the NFL doesn’t care. They hate you. They hate red America, flyover country, the people who built this nation. This isn’t entertainment; it’s a psyop to erode national cohesion, to make you accept that “American” now means borderless, raceless, rootless global consumer sludge. They timed it perfectly: peak division, post-election bitterness, immigration wars raging. Every choice is a blade aimed at your identity. They want you angry, alienated, and eventually apathetic...so you stop fighting when the next phase of the replacement rolls in. This Super Bowl isn’t a game. It’s a declaration of war on the historic American nation. I'll be starving that beast. You couldn't pay me to watch a second of it."

Historical data indicates that the number of individuals successfully prosecuted for federal threats varies significantly across administrations, often peaking during periods of heightened national tension. Between 1986 and 2024, the federal government prosecuted a total of 1,444 cases involving threats against presidents or others in the line of successio

Prosecution Totals by President (Historical)

The number of federal prosecutions brought during specific presidential terms is as follows:

President	Term(s)	Number of Prosecutions
Bill Clinton	1993–2001	343
George W. Bush	2001–2009	383
Barack Obama	2009–2017	213
Donald Trump	2017–2021 (First Term)	68

Comparative Threat Landscape (2024–

Recent data shows a sharp increase in the volume of violent rhetoric, with Donald Trump identified as a disproportionate target. Targeting Disparity: In a 2024–2025 dataset, threats against Donald Trump accounted for 47% of all violent threats documented.

Surge in Rhetoric: 

Violent rhetoric targeting Republicans rose by 364% between 2022 and 2025, while threats against Democrats increased by 124% in the same period. This gap widened significantly following the July 2024 assassination attempt on Trump.

General Climate: 

Threats against members of Congress also spiked, with the U.S. Capitol Police investigating 9,474 "concerning statements or direct threats" in 2024, nearly triple the number investigated in 2017.

Trump's 5 Moves the MEGA Chess Board

@MrPool_QQ asserts President Trump just made 5 moves and nobody is connecting the dots.


MOVE 1: Signed executive order threatening 25% TARIFFS on any country trading with Iran. Target: China. India. Turkey. The petrodollar stranglehold is

ENDING. MOVE 2: Threatened to SUE his own Federal Reserve nominee if he doesn't lower rates. "It was a joke." No. It was a WARNING. The Fed's days are numbered.

MOVE 3: Pentagon CUT ALL TIES with Harvard. Military training. Fellowships. Programs. ALL GONE. The Ivy League pipeline to power is DEAD.

MOVE 4: Launched TrumpRx. 43 medications. Ozempic included. Big Pharma's monopoly: BROKEN. They charged you $1,000. He's giving it for $300.

MOVE 5: DHS funding expires February 13th. 6 days from now. Controlled shutdown incoming. Why? Because you can't RESTRUCTURE what's still running. Connect the dots: Iran tariffs = END of petrodollar Fed threat = END of central banking control Harvard cut = END of Deep State recruitment TrumpRx = END of Big Pharma monopoly DHS shutdown = RESTRUCTURING of homeland security This isn't chaos. This is a DEMOLITION. Piece by piece. System by system. Pillar by pillar. The old world is being dismantled in REAL TIME. And the new one is being built while you watch.

The Moves

MOVE 1: Executive Order on Tariffs for Countries Trading with Iran
• What happened: On February 6, 2026, President Trump signed an executive order authorizing up to 25% tariffs on imports from countries that continue to trade with Iran, including direct or indirect purchases of Iranian goods or services (e.g., oil).
bbc.com
The order cites Iran's nuclear pursuits, terrorism support, and regional destabilization as justifications.
dw.com
It doesn't impose tariffs immediately but uses 25% as an example rate, with implementation at the president's discretion.
reuters.com
Key targets include China (Iran's top oil buyer), India, Turkey, Russia, and others.
gcaptain.com
• Timeline: The order was signed on Feb 6 and took effect Feb 7, building on Trump's January 12, 2026, Truth Social post threatening such tariffs.
timesofindia.indiatimes.com
• Implications: This escalates pressure on Iran amid resuming nuclear talks in Oman.
youtube.com
Regarding the "petrodollar stranglehold ending," this could disrupt global oil trade (Iran exports ~1.5M barrels/day, mostly to China), potentially weakening dollar-denominated oil dominance if countries shift currencies or routes.






MOVE 2: Threat to Sue Federal Reserve Nominee Over Interest Rates
• What happened: At a private Alfalfa Club dinner on January 31, 2026, Trump joked about suing his Fed chair nominee, Kevin Warsh, if he doesn't lower interest rates.
cnn.com
Trump later told reporters it was "all comedy" and a "roast."
apnews.com
However, during Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's February 5 Senate hearing, Bessent wouldn't rule out a DOJ investigation or lawsuit against Warsh for non-compliance, saying it's "up to the president."
cnbc.com
This echoes Trump's past criticisms of Fed Chair Jerome Powell for not cutting rates aggressively.
banking.senate.gov
• Timeline: The joke was made Jan 31; Bessent's comments on Feb 5.
• Implications: While dismissed as humor, it highlights Trump's push for Fed independence reform. The "Fed's days are numbered" interpretation suggests intent to curb central bank autonomy, but no formal actions have been taken to "end" it. Warsh's nomination is stalled in committee, partly over these concerns.
yahoo.com







MOVE 3: Pentagon Cuts Ties with Harvard
• What happened: On February 6, 2026, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the Department of War (formerly Defense) is severing academic ties with Harvard University, ending graduate-level professional military education (PME), fellowships, and certificate programs starting in the 2026-2027 school year.
war.gov
Current students can finish, but no new enrollments.
nytimes.com
Hegseth called Harvard "woke" and said it no longer aligns with training "warriors."
theguardian.com
The Pentagon will review ties with other universities.
reuters.com
• Timeline: Announced Feb 6.
• Implications: This affects programs like those at Harvard's Kennedy School (Hegseth's alma mater).
nytimes.com
The "Ivy League pipeline to power is dead" claim ties into broader Trump admin critiques of elite institutions as "deep state" recruiters.






MOVE 4: Launch of TrumpRx
• What happened: On February 5, 2026, Trump unveiled TrumpRx.gov, a website offering discounted prices on 43 high-cost medications for cash-paying or uninsured patients.
whitehouse.gov
It stems from "most-favored-nation" deals with 16 drugmakers, aligning U.S. prices with lower international rates.
reuters.com
Ozempic (for diabetes/weight loss) drops from ~$1,000/month to $199–$350 depending on dose; similar cuts for Wegovy, Zepbound, and others like insulin and fertility drugs.
cbsnews.com
More drugs will be added.
pharmacytimes.com
• Timeline: Launched Feb 5.
• Implications: Aimed at breaking "Big Pharma's monopoly," it provides immediate savings (e.g., $600+ off Ozempic) but targets only self-pay users—not insured or Medicare patients broadly.
pbs.org
Manufacturers committed to U.S. investments in exchange.






MOVE 5: DHS Funding Expiration
• What happened: On February 3, 2026, Trump signed a funding package ending a brief partial government shutdown, providing full-year FY2026 funding (through Sept 30) for most agencies (e.g., Defense, Treasury, HHS).
politico.com
However, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) got only a short-term extension through February 13, 2026 (6 days from now).
taxathand.com
This allows negotiations on immigration enforcement "guardrails" after recent controversies (e.g., ICE raids and shootings).
thehill.com
If no deal by Feb 13, DHS could shut down, affecting TSA, FEMA, ICE, etc.
fragomen.com
• Timeline: Signed Feb 3; expires Feb 13.
• Implications: The "controlled shutdown for restructuring" angle suggests using the lapse to overhaul DHS (e.g., more aggressive border policies).

Connecting the Dots

The post interprets these as a deliberate "demolition" of systems like the petrodollar, central banking, deep state recruitment, Big Pharma, and homeland security. Factually, these actions align with Trump's second-term priorities: trade leverage against adversaries, Fed pressure for economic stimulus, ideological shifts in institutions, drug price cuts, and hardline immigration.Potential links: They reflect a pattern of executive actions to assert control over foreign policy (Iran tariffs), economy (Fed/TrumpRx), military education (Harvard cut), and security (DHS funding leverage). For instance, the Iran EO could indirectly support petrodollar goals by isolating Iran's oil trade, while DHS negotiations tie into broader "restructuring" rhetoric.

Counterpoints: Many are continuations of first-term policies (e.g., Iran sanctions, drug pricing EOs) rather than a sudden "48-hour" blitz. The Fed comment was explicitly a joke, and DHS's short funding is due to bipartisan stalemate, not premeditated chaos.
Broader context: These moves come amid high approval for Trump's early actions (polls show ~55% support for tariffs/drug cuts), but risks include market volatility, diplomatic fallout, and shutdown disruptions.

The Absurd Lancet Estimates

The Lancet study (July 2025) and its 2026 follow-up have faced scrutiny for their methodology and the "absurdity" of their estimates. Critics and subsequent analyses highlight several potential fallacies: 

1. The "Single Source" Fallacy
Critics argue the study essentially attributes nearly all global mortality improvements from 2001 to 2021 to USAID. 
• Statistical Inconsistency: Total global lives saved during this period (if the 2001 death rate had remained constant) is estimated at roughly 79 million. The Lancet study's claim of 91.8 million lives saved by USAID suggests the agency was responsible for 100% of global progress plus another 11 million lives, ignoring the roles of other donors, domestic governments, and general economic growth.
• Disproportionality: The study attributes 47 million saved lives to progress in China
, which received negligible per capita USAID funding ($0.73/year) compared to least developed countries, where mortality actually increased by 8 million during the same period. 
2. Static Policy Assumption
The 2030 projection of 14 million deaths assumes that global funding structures and host-country responses will remain static. 
• Lack of Adaptation: Critics in The Lancet itself noted that the simulation fails to account for how governments and other donors reallocate funds, source products locally, or seek new international partners in response to U.S. cuts.
• Resilience Factors: While the authors later acknowledged that "more complex dynamics" (like domestic budget shifts) were not fully modeled, they maintained that these factors would unlikely shift the magnitude of the projected millions of deaths. 
3. Misattribution of "Saved" Lives
Critics point out that the study uses a 15% reduction in all-cause mortality as a baseline, but fails to distinguish between deaths prevented by specific health interventions (like HIV or malaria drugs) and deaths prevented by broader social factors. 
• Cause vs. Correlation: By focusing on all-cause mortality, the study may be capturing general global trends—such as improvements in agriculture, sanitation, and medical technology—and incorrectly labeling them as direct outcomes of USAID spending. 
4. Overlooked Alternative Solutions
U.S. officials and some analysts have dismissed the findings as "outdated thinking," arguing that the study presumes the "old and inefficient" global aid system is the only solution. They suggest that the shift toward trade-based investment and domestic self-reliance could mitigate the long-term impact in ways the study's models do not capture. 

Riparia vs Blue Mountain

Different scopes of work;

Riparia Environmental is a specialized environmental contractor, while NWPW (NW Porter Works) is coordinating the project with a general contractor. 

Pricing Comparison

Item	Riparia Environmental Price (per year)	NWPW Coordinated Price (per year)
Stormwater Facility Maintenance	$7,300.00	Included in the combined price
Open Tract Space Maintenance	$5,400.00	Included in the combined price
Total Annual Cost	$12,700.00	$12,700.00
Total 2-Year Cost (2026 & 2027)	$25,400.00	$25,400.00

The total costs for the two years are identical at $25,400.00 USD from both providers. The annual breakdown is also the same.

Scope of Work Differences

The primary differences appear in the detailed description of maintenance frequency and activities:

Activity/Frequency	Riparia Environmental (Image Quote Notes)	NWPW Coordinated (User Text)
Facility Visits	Maintained 4 times per year (between April and December)	Maintained 9 times per year (between April and December)
Annual Inspection	Included as "A. Annual Inspection"	Included, with report, pictures, and recommendations
Vegetation Control	Scope is general	Specific: Nuisance vegetation removed; Invasive weeds removed/treated 4 times a year
Slope Maintenance	Scope is general	Specific: Mowed/trimmed as needed; All trash removed
Inlet/Outlet Maint.	Scope is general	Specific: Cleared regularly to maintain flow; Inspected every visit
Coordination	Mentions compliance with local regulations	Specific: Works directly with regulatory bodies on behalf of the HOA

The NWPW-coordinated bid includes a s higher frequency of visits and a more detailed, specific scope of work for the same price as the Riparia Environmental quote. Riparia Environmental specializes in environmental services and compliance, offering tailored maintenance plans and expert response to storm

Both quotes cover the same total square footage of approximately 155,000 SF in cumulative area. The line items are priced identically by year for each contractor.

Detailed Annual Line Item Comparison

Service	Riparia Environmental Annual Price	NWPW Annual Price
Stormwater Facility Maintenance	$7,300.00	$7,300.00
Open Tract Space Maintenance	$5,400.00	$5,400.00
Total Annual Price	$12,700.00	$12,700.00

The pricing structure is a direct match, item for item. The primary distinction remains the level of service provided within each line item, with the NWPW-coordinated bid offering significantly more frequent visits (9 times annually versus 4).

Routine Maintenance Activities

The scope specifies that the stormwater facilities will be visited and maintained 9 times per year between April and December. These activities are included on every visit where applicable:

A. Annual Inspection

• All stormwater infrastructure within the facilities will undergo an annual visual inspection.
• An inspection report with findings, pictures, and recommendations will be submitted to the HOA.

B. Vegetation Control

• Nuisance vegetation and trees (<12" DBH) around stormwater infrastructure will be controlled and removed as needed.
• Invasive weeds within the facilities will be removed and treated 4 times a year.

C. Slope Maintenance

• Vegetation along the side slopes and bottom of the facilities will be mowed or trimmed back as needed to maintain plant health and keep the facility in code compliance.
• All blown-in trash will be removed from within the facilities.

D. Inlet and Outlet Maintenance

• Inlets and outlets will be mowed and cleared regularly to maintain proper water flow.
• Trash, vegetation, and sediment/debris will be cleared from within 10' of the structure.
• Inlets and outlets will be inspected on every visit to ensure they remain clear and functional.

E. Collaboration with Local Authorities

• NWPW will work directly with regulatory bodies on behalf of the HOA to address any stormwater concerns or requirements.
