“When something becomes too much fun, the government will move swiftly to tax it. Disgruntled Taxpayer

Outside Vicksburg, Mississippi on Route 80, my brother Howard and I cranked east through the midday heat. He was spending two weeks of his vacation to travel with me.

Heat waves rippled off the summer pavement while the blazing sun baked the land. Trees lined the highway, with crows and sparrows flying in all directions, but nowhere in particular. One crow was having a difficult time as four sparrows darted in on him, pecking at his feathers. Each time they attacked, he dove away from them.

“Those guys are giving that big fella’ a hard time,” Howard said.

“I never have figured out why they attack a crow like that,” I said.

“Maybe it gets down to territorial turf,” Howard said. “Hey, we should make Vicksburg pretty soon. You want to stop at a salad bar place and clean them out?”

“Good idea.”

Riding in the south during the summer cooked bicyclists with heat and humidity. It was so hot we looked like one of those commercials where they fry an egg on the hood of a car. We were the eggs. And, like the Michael Jordan Gatorade advertisement, we were sweating colors. Howard and I left a trail of splashes from our sweat-soaked bodies. No matter. We looked forward to the Civil War monuments in Vicksburg. We smiled and waved at passing cars. The Deep South was laid back and moved at a snail’s pace. People seemed to get a kick out of our riding cross-country through their state. They took pictures of us, sometimes having their family crowd around our bikes.

With so much attention, we had a lot to talk about after leaving a photo session. People said the darnedest things about long distance touring riders. They kept us laughing because they thought were courageous or crazy.

We were talking about the comments from a family that had stopped their car to take our pictures when a black and white police cruiser passed us traveling west. We waved at him. He waved back but had a stern, redneck look on his face.

I wave to policemen out of respect or fear—I’m not sure which. I know they can give me a ticket for speeding. On a bicycle, they can’t, so I never give them much thought. I watched him go by in my rear view mirror, when he flipped the car around and turned on his flashing red lights.

“That cop turned around,” Howard said.

“Must be he got a call for an emergency back down the road,” I said.

I expected the cruiser to fly past us. But it didn’t. The police officer pulled in behind us.

“That cop is pulling us over,” I said.

“Probably for speeding,” Howard joked. “Maybe he’s going to give us a ticket for going too slow. Now wouldn’t that be a good one? No, I’ve got it, he’s going to give us tickets for not having a license to drive a bicycle.”

We pulled our bikes to a stop. A rotund, middle-aged officer in a blue uniform got out of his cruiser. We stood astride our bikes, looking back, not sure why he had stopped us.

“Afternoon boys,” he said, walking up to us.

“How are you, sir?” I said.

“I’m fine,” he said. “When I passed you boys, I noticed you were smiling and laughing.”

“Yes, sir,” Howard said. “We’re having a great day. We just love it here in Louisiana. In fact, we’re hoping to meet Huckleberry Finn when we cross the Mississippi.”

“How far ya’ll goin’?” the officer asked in a brusque voice.

“We’re on our way from coast to coast,” I said. “Pacific to the Atlantic.”

“You boys ever had your heads examined for mental righteousness?”

“Our Mom told us we were crazy to ride our bikes across America,” Howard said. “But, so far, the craziness hasn’t killed us.”

The officer looked over our packs as if he might be looking for drugs.

Right then, I didn’t like this guy’s demeanor. My Dad always told us to be polite and keep smiling at a policeman. We should always say “Yes sir” or “No sir,” to a man with a badge. This was one of those times to be extra polite.

“Have you had a good time in Louisiana?” he asked in a stern voice.

“Yes, sir,” I said. “We’ve had a real fine time and we’re looking forward to Mississippi.”

“Right now, you’re in my jurisdiction,” he said. “When I drove by you, it looked like you were having a lot of fun.”

“Yes, sir, you could say that,” Howard said.

“Would you say you’re having TOO much fun?” the man asked, straight faced.

“TOO much fun?” I said. “Well, er, yes sir, we’re probably having too much fun, right Howard?”

“YES SIR, that’s right, we’re having too much fun.”

The officer stepped closer. He looked serious. Maybe I had seen too many movies with redneck cops hassling people. Nonetheless, I was concerned. He looked the part—thick neck, crew cut, short fat fingers, belly hanging over his belt and boots that hadn’t been polished in a coon’s age.

“I hate to say this boys, but there’s an ordinance in this county for having too much fun. People have gotten out of hand in the past from having too much fun. Because I’m an officer of the law, I’m sworn to uphold that ordinance. I’m gonna’ have to write ya’ll a citation. May I see some form of identification?”

“Sure officer,” we replied, giving him our driver’s licenses.

“A law against having too much fun?” Howard said.

“That’s right boys,” he said. “You wait here while I write you up. I see you’re brothers.”

“Yes, sir,” I said.

“I’ll be right back in a few minutes,” he said, walking away.

“This is crazy,” Howard said. “This guy is out to lunch. He’s only got one oar in the water. He’s 51 cards short of a full deck.”

“He’s got a badge and gun,” I muttered.

“He can’t give us a ticket for having too much fun,” Howard said. “That does it! I’m going right into the county courthouse and demand a jury trial on this one. I mean, this is nuts! We can’t take this lying down. I’ll get the ACLU if I have to. We’ll take this one all the way to the Supreme Court. Too much fun, right!”

“I thought he was kidding, but he’s not kidding,” I said.

While we waited, I drank a quart of water and switched my bottles on the down tube to have a full one ready. It was warm water, but quenched my thirst. Darned if I could figure out what we had done to get this cop upset. But I had learned never to argue with a police officer. They had absolute authority. Minutes later, he walked up to us with two tickets in hand.

“I know ya’ll think this is out of line,” he said. “But I don’t make the laws…I just enforce them. By the way, I like riding bicycles, too. How come you boys are riding mountain bikes with drop bars?”

“They’re more durable and we don’t get many flat tires,” I said. “They ride smoother. Plus, we have three positions for our hands with drop bars. Straight bars fatigue our hands by keeping them in one position.”

“I’ll have to remember that,” he said. “By the way, I live in Vicksburg. Are you boys hungry?”

“Yes, sir,” we replied, not understanding why he was so friendly when he had given us a ticket.

“There’s a nice restaurant called “Aunt Dorothy’s” right after you cross the Mississippi. You can’t miss it,” he said, after giving us our tickets and walking away.

He drove toward Vicksburg. I stood there looking at Howard, who was just as incredulous as I was.

“What in the hell just happened to us?” I asked.

Howard looked down at his ticket and started laughing his head off.

“What’s so funny?” I asked.

“Read it,” Howard said, laughing and slapping his thigh.

On the ticket in long hand, it read, “This is a citation to the Wooldridge brothers for having too much fun on their bicycle trip across America. You can either pay a large fine down at the county courthouse, or you can come over to my house (directions below) and take showers, plus eat my wife’s great cooking. You’re welcome to stay overnight. My kids would love to hear about some of your experiences. It would be an honor and a pleasure to have you visit us.”

“I’ll be damned,” I said.

After riding into town that evening, we followed Officer Buford Jackson’s directions to his house. We leaned our fully loaded touring bikes against the white railing on the front porch of an old-style home where a couple of rockers awaited for the evening sunset and friendly conversation.

I knocked.

When the door opened, I had never seen a wider smile, a bigger grin, a larger heart nor a face so full of mirth and mischief as I saw on Buford Jackson at that moment. Behind him, two little girls and a boy must have been told that Clint Eastwood and his brother were coming to dinner, because their faces reflected youthful expectation of something special about to happen in their lives.

That evening, we ate a dinner set for a king. Martha Jackson was the perfect hostess. We answered dozens of questions from the children—Shirley, Paula and Zac. It was truly an evening of having TOO much fun.

The next morning, as we pedaled onto the highway, I was reminded again, as I had been hundreds of times in the past, that people are beautiful. Never assume you know what or who they are. No matter what their color, religion, job, or location–people are unique, and mostly, they are doing the best they can with their lives.

Even with all the ‘bad’ things going on in this society, it’s basically a generous, caring, respectful and decent nation. I know we focus on the news every night because bad news travels fast. But when you think of every little child that laughs or smiles at you, your life is blessed. When you say “Good morning” to someone and pay him or her a compliment, you change the world. When it’s returned to you, it changes your world. Try it the next time you buy groceries. As you check out, compliment the cashier, “Gee, your earrings look beautiful on you.” Or, “That’s a nice shirt, sir…you look sharp in it.” Your compliments are warmly received which makes you feel good, and wonderfully enjoyed by the person you complimented.

In the case of Buford and Martha, my world became richer all because I

was smiling and having too much fun. Bless them both for their love, generosity, sense of humor and their children with big bright eyes filled with expectation. I am thankful that most of the world is filled with Buford’s and Martha’s, and because it is, we are all blessed with joy at surprising moments in our lives.

In my lifetime, I hope to get arrested many more times for having too much fun.

DeSantis’ Tag For Himself!

Filching a title, customarily granted to the President of the United States, Governor Ronald B. DeSantis has begun passing out coins like the one pictured above. Is this new venture financed by the “Ron PAC”? Ahhh, “dark money”.

DeGov’s small size certainly belies his ego.

This title he’s given himself also belies his excuses about Tallahassee doing things behind his back.

A Commander in Chief has full knowledge of whatever goes on in his government, or should. The fact that Trump 45 did NOT, was because of the work of the Deep State, deeply buried in and around his administration. If DeSantis does not have knowledge of the goings on in Tallahassee, as he often insists, is he then acknowledging the active presence of Globalists in his own administration?? If that were the case, I’d think that he and Trump would have a closer bond.

Here are a just a few of the key issues that have fomented in Florida state government under Ron DeSantis, just for a quick stroll down memory lane… :

* the state-wide attacks on America First Republicans, including prohibitions from The Party disallowing association with America First groups, altering agendas and attendance at county meetings, and removal of duly elected representatives;

*the push for solar energy, the Green Scourge, to replace reliable and affordable natural gas, oil and coal AND the stripping of his constituents’ pockets as they try to pay for it. (More on this SOON.)

* the Election Fraud” unit initiated by DeGov, which cannot respond to FOIAs from citizens because they don ‘t take notes. (Meeting when Peter Antonacci died could not be FOIA’d, a citizen was told, for this reason.) Also, the annual budget for Florida’s Office of Election Crimes and Security (OECS) was $1.4 million for the 2023 fiscal year, a roughly 20% increase from its previous $1.1 million. The budget for its first year was approximately $1.2 million, according to AI research. Millions were spent on litigation of a few dozen cases, yet the fines collected were in the low six figures. Wouldn’t the money have been better spent on real election security like ditching the (proven) insecure machines for hand-count voting?

The 336-page report published in 2024, says that the OECS has managed to prove fraud and level fines against third-party voter registration organizations 26 times. That amounted to about $100,000 in fines. Another $34,000 in fines were leveled against political committees for various infractions for petition campaigns, according to the brief. The report paints an upbeat picture of the OECS run under DeSantis-appointed Secretary of State Cord Byrd, but the release shies away from notable missteps by the department.

Was several million of taxpayer dollars spent to remove possibly several dozen “fraudulent” votes?

The report itself is available at the first link in the paragraph above.

I emphasize the OECS because of the tragedy at its beginning, and its budget in comparison to its results. Guess this one got away from Florida’s “Commander in Chief”.

Then, of course, more…

*the “test” paving of Florida roads with radioactive gravel;

*the removal of Peter Feman (Trump sujpporter) from influence at the National Republican Convention last year;

*the long and expensive battle against Disney, after DeGov took control of the Orlando theme park. This occurred, in part, because the Reedy Creek Board sold rights to the Disney property for 30 years, just a few days before his new Central Florida Tourism District took over. Tallahassee’s “not noticing” the legally required posted notices from Reedy Creek was very costly to Floridians. (The matter was finally settled in Florida’s favor after millions were spent on litigation.)

Ok. I’ll stop here. Examples abound, though, of the Sunshine Commander’s unattractive record. Most of this might have been buried in the (radiocactive ?) sands of time except for DeGov’s new declaration of his “power”.

You get my point.

The new Commander-in-Chief coin is a pretty obvious example of Ron DeSantis’s future plans. Many, if not most, of those who know him well, recoil at the notion.

My personal read on the issuance of the new coin, after all I’ve learned about De Gov, can be caught in one word: Pathetic. It would only be “frightening”, if the Deep State decides, somewhere along the line, that he is their best second chance. Or does this coin herald a third-party association with Musk? Stay tuned.

You’d think his loving wife might step in, but Casey DeSantis craves power, apparently, nearly as much as did “Dr.” Jill Biden.

Just sayin’.

“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” -Mark 8:36

We have all been raised up in this country to chase our dreams, to be successful so that we might live high on the hog.

If we reach what we call success here, then we have, in essence, created a world with no need of the Living God.  For those that might not yet fully understand, it would be little to do with the Lord and a whole lot to do with the world.

“What is the value of this estate?” said a gentleman to another, as they passed a fine mansion surrounded by fair and fertile fields. “I don’t know what it is valued at; I know what it cost its late possessor.” “How much?” “His soul!”

“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” -Matthew 6:24

MAM’MON – Riches; wealth; or the god of riches. -Websters 1828 Dictionary

Yet, in America, this is what we are taught to do in seeking a better way of life, and that life consists of what we possess.

Don’t get me wrong here, there is nothing wrong with wealth within itself.  Yet, it becomes an issue when we put riches before the Lord (Matthew 6:33).

Friends, it is not like we can take what we gain here with us when we die.  Paul said:

“For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.” -1 Timothy 6:7

Nobody warned of covetousness more than Jesus.

Covetousness- A strong or inordinate desire of obtaining and possessing some supposed good; usually in a bad sense, and applied to an inordinate desire of wealth or avarice.-Websters 1828 Dictionary

“And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.” -Luke 12:15-21

Beware of covetousness. As men trample each other down in the pursuit of wealth. Be not deceived.

“For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” -1 Timothy 6:10

“Adversity has slain her thousands, but prosperity her tens of thousands.”-Thomas Brooks

Men too often forget the Lord in their riches (Deuteronomy 8:11-18).

Remember, some of the wealthiest people in the world are so poor because all that they have is money.

In conclusion: Friends, I say in short biblical order, lose the world and gain your soul.

• Congress created the unconstitutional task force to recommend preventative medicine.
• Then Congress unconstitutionally delegated to this task force the alleged power to make legally binding recommendations.
• So why did Braidwood Management choose to sue based on how the members were appointed?

There is a quote that pretty much sums up a recent Supreme Court decision regarding your health insurance.

Oh what a tangled web we weave
When first we practice to deceive

Sir Walter Scott

In the case Kennedy v Braidwood Management, inc., we see the tangled web the United States has woven when it practiced to deceive by claiming the power to regulate what is covered by your health insurance.

When asked why he wrote something a certain way, my grandfather used to say:

Where were you when the page was blank?

Lyle Kenyon Engel

What my grandfather used to say was both simple and enlightening. When you start from scratch, people see things different ways. My grandfather taught me to realize this and to give people some grace for starting out in a direction different than the one I would have used. However, every so often, I encounter a case where the fundamental premise is so baffling it makes me question the attorneys who brought it forward. Kennedy v. Braidwood Management is just such a case.

Practice of Deceit

Let’s start with a little history.

In 1984, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) created the U. S. Preventive Services Task Force, a body that formulates evidence-based recommendations regarding preventive healthcare services.

Kennedy, Secretary Of Health And Human Services, et al. v. Braidwood Management, Inc., et al.

Under the Reagan administration, the Department of Health and Human Services created a task force to make recommendations for preventative healthcare services. No one mentioned that the power to regulate health or human services was never delegated to the United States by its Constitution. Since HHS does not execute a power vested in the government of the United States by the Constitution, Congress did not have the legal authority to pass legislation creating it. Even if Congress had given the statutory power to HHS to create such a task force, recommending preventative healthcare services is not a power vested in the government of the United States because that would just compound the illegal activities of Congress.

Not to be deterred, Congress went even further:

Congress codified the Task Force’s role in 1999, establishing it as an entity within the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) in HHS’s Public Health Service.

Kennedy, Secretary Of Health And Human Services, et al. v. Braidwood Management, Inc., et al.

While Congress continued to embezzle money for this illegal task force, things got even worse after the so-called Affordable Care Act passed in 2010.

Before 2010, Task Force recommendations were purely advisory. The Affordable Care Act of 2010 changed this by requiring most health insurers and group health plans to cover without cost sharing those preventive services that receive “A” or “B” ratings from the Task Force.

Kennedy, Secretary Of Health And Human Services, et al. v. Braidwood Management, Inc., et al.

Congress compounded its error by claiming the power to force health insurers to cover services without cost to their customers simply because this “task force” said so. This violates the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause:

No person shall … be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;

U.S. Constitution, Amendment V

It also exceeded the powers delegated to Congress in Article I, Section 8:

To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;

To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.

U.S Constitution, Article I, Section 8, Clauses 3 & 18

Before we continue to the lawsuit, let’s take a look at this “task force” that was allegedly created.

The Task Force

Remember, this task force was created to recommend preventative healthcare services.

The Task Force currently consists of 16 volunteer members appointed by the Secretary of HHS to staggered 4-year terms. … The Act also amended the governing statute to describe the Task Force as “independent” and to provide that members and their recommendations “shall be independent and, to the extent practicable, not subject to political pressure.”

Kennedy, Secretary Of Health And Human Services, et al. v. Braidwood Management, Inc., et al.

This violates Article I, Section 1 of the Constitution by giving power to a task force to write recommendations that now have the force of law.

All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.

U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 1

Who in their right mind believes that any entity created by Congress could actually be independent and not subject to political pressure? After all, if Congress codified it, Congress must now pay for it. And when was the last time you saw appropriations that were not politicized? And don’t forget, Congress now says that health insurance companies have to follow the task force’s recommendations. With that much money on the line, how can this task force not be subject to political pressure?

Tangled Web

In this midst of all of this deception enters the case Kennedy v. Braidwood Management, and their tangled web of logic.

Plaintiffs argued that Task Force members are principal officers under the Appointments Clause who must be appointed by the President “with the Advice and Consent of the Senate,” Art. II, §2, cl. 2, not by the Secretary.

Kennedy, Secretary Of Health And Human Services, et al. v. Braidwood Management, Inc., et al.

OK, that seems to be a bit of a stretch. After all, Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 of the Constitution reads:

He shall have Power, … by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

Article II, Section 2, Clause 2

This is where the tangled web gets worse.

The District Court agreed, recognizing that Task Force members are removable at will by the Secretary but concluding they are principal officers because they “have no superior” who supervises and directs them. … The Fifth Circuit affirmed the District Court, holding that while Task Force members are removable at will, they are not inferior officers because they cannot be “ ‘independent’ ” and “free from ‘political pressure’ ” while simultaneously being supervised by a political appointee.

Kennedy, Secretary Of Health And Human Services, et al. v. Braidwood Management, Inc., et al.

The judges of both the District and Circuit Courts seem to simply ignore the Constitution and make up rules for themselves. While the distinction between “principal” and “inferior” the judges used may make perfect sense, the Constitution doesn’t vest them with the power to decide which officers not listed in the Constitution need Senate approval.

… but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 (emphasis added)

But this was not the basis of the court’s decision.

Not everyone on the court agreed with the decision. Justice Thomas dissented, joined by Justices Alito and Gorsuch.

To promote democratic accountability, the Appointments Clause establishes a default rule that all Executive Branch officers must be appointed by the President with the Senate’s approval. Art. II, §2, cl. 2. Congress may depart from this default by authorizing a department head to appoint “inferior Officers”—but only if it does so expressly.

Kennedy, Secretary Of Health And Human Services, et al. v. Braidwood Management, Inc., et al.

It’s the word “expressly” that entangled this court in this web of illogic. As Justice Thomas sees it:

At the beginning of this suit, a subordinate official within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) had for years appointed the Task Force’s members. Everyone now agrees that this practice was unlawful. Everyone further agrees that no one statute provides for a department head to appoint the Task Force’s members.

Kennedy, Secretary Of Health And Human Services, et al. v. Braidwood Management, Inc., et al.

Except not every agrees with your second statement, Justice Thomas. The majority of the court believes:

Congress has by law vested appointment authority in the Secretary of HHS through two steps. First, the 1999 statute governing the Task Force gives the AHRQ Director the authority to “convene” a Task Force “to be composed of individuals with appropriate expertise.” §299b–4(a)(1). Congress need not use magic words to confer appointment authority, and around the time of the Founding, “ ‘appoint’ ” was synonymous with “ ‘allot, assign, or designate.’ ” … In the absence of a statutory provision that more explicitly confers appointment authority, the AHRQ Director’s power to “convene” is naturally read to include the power to appoint.

Kennedy, Secretary Of Health And Human Services, et al. v. Braidwood Management, Inc., et al.

Is the court correct? Does the power to “convene” include the power to “appoint”? Not according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary online:

to come together in a body

Convene – Merriam-Webster Dictionary Online

It seems Thomas has a point, and the power to convene doesn’t appear to include the power to appoint. For example, under Article V, Congress is required to “call a Convention for proposing Amendments.” That does not include the power to appoint the delegates. The lack of a statutory provision to confer appointments does not confer that power. The fact the Congress screwed up doesn’t mean the courts can read into their laws. But what about their second step?

Second, Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1966, ratified by Congress in 1984, transfers to the Secretary “all functions of the Public Health Service” and its “officers,” “employees,” and “agencies.”

Kennedy, Secretary Of Health And Human Services, et al. v. Braidwood Management, Inc., et al.

This explains Justice Thomas’ statement that “At the beginning of this suit, a subordinate official within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) had for years appointed the Task Force’s members.” If the powers of the AHRQ Director were transferred to the Secretary, that would seem to fix the legal problem. Well, maybe, because as Justice Thomas points out.

In ruling otherwise, the Court treats the default rule as an inconvenient obstacle to be overcome, not a constitutional principle to be honored. And, it distorts Congress’s design for the Task Force, changing it from an independent body that reports directly to the President to one subject to the control of the Secretary of HHS.

Kennedy, Secretary Of Health And Human Services, et al. v. Braidwood Management, Inc., et al.

It seems, the more I look at this case, the more tangled the web gets.

Conclusion

Let’s see if we can untangle this mess. Let’s start with what the majority of the court found:

Held: Task Force members are inferior officers whose appointment by the Secretary of HHS is consistent with the Appointments Clause.

Kennedy, Secretary Of Health And Human Services, et al. v. Braidwood Management, Inc., et al.

Interestingly, SCOTUS did not find that the task force appointments were Constitutional because Congress vested the Secretary of HHS with that power, but because they redefined “inferior” in a way that allowed it.

Task Force members are inferior officers because their work is “directed and supervised” by the Secretary of HHS, a principal officer, through two main sources of authority.

(1) The Secretary’s authority to remove Task Force members at will provides a “powerful tool for control.” …

(2) Beyond at-will removal, the Secretary has statutory authority to directly review and block Task Force recommendations before they take effect.

Kennedy, Secretary Of Health And Human Services, et al. v. Braidwood Management, Inc., et al.

Not a very solid footing, since it appears Congress did not explicitly vest the power of appointing task force members to the Secretary of HHS. However, this argument does seem to dismantle Justice Thomas’ assertion that the task force reports directly the President.

Next, what about the legal authority of this task force? As Justice Thomas noted in his dissent:

This case concerns the U. S. Preventive Services Task Force, a body that issues legally binding recommendations regarding preventive healthcare treatments.

Kennedy, Secretary Of Health And Human Services, et al. v. Braidwood Management, Inc., et al.

If the recommendations are legally binding, then they are no longer recommendation. Furthermore, for them to be legally binding, they are effectively making law, which is a power reserved to Congress, not the executive departments. The court has frowned on the idea of Congress being able to delegate their power to another branch in its “non-delegation doctrine.”

The non-delegation doctrine is the principle that Congress cannot delegate its legislative powers or lawmaking ability to other entities.

non-delegation doctrine – Cornell Law School Legal Information Institute

And lastly, remember that while Congress, and only Congress, has the power to regulate interstate commerce, that does not include the power to force health insurance companies to pay for services neither them nor their customers requested.

This is what happens when We the People allow our elected representatives to ignore their oath to support the Constitution, even if it’s for what they think is a good reason. Not just creating this task force, but in their failure to impeach federal judges for their bad behavior.

Going back to my grandfather’s quote, “Where were you when the page was blank?” The problem here is that the page wasn’t blank. There is ample documentation that the “recommendations” of the task force are not law, and can have no legal force whatsoever. The task force was created by an unconstitutional act and delegated powers not vested in the government of the United States. As the Supreme Court stated in the case ex parte Siebold:

An unconstitutional law is void, and is as no law. An offense created by it is not a crime. A conviction under it is not merely erroneous, but is illegal and void, and cannot be a legal cause of imprisonment.

Ex parte Siebold :: 100 U.S. 371 (1879)

So why did the attorneys for Braidwood Management take such an odd and twisted approach to the illegal actions of the task force? Probably because courts have so twisted and ignored the Constitution they simply make up new rules as they need them, and that this was the best approach they thought they had. To me, that is a truly bad state of affairs.

Fifteen years ago, I wrote this in a column:  Why hasn’t the Director of the U.S. Census Bureau been indicted? February 2, 2010

“Keeping with the Obama Administration’s mission to conduct the most diverse outreach campaign in history, the director of the U.S. Census Bureau is touring Mexican border towns with high illegal immigrant populations to personally assure that those who fill out questionnaires this spring will not be deported.

“This is a safe thing for everyone to do regardless of your immigration status,” the president’s handpicked census director (Robert Groves) told residents of a renowned illegal alien “colonia” in south Texas this week. He visited several dilapidated makeshift homes off of a dirt road in a Laredo neighborhood called San Carlos to stress that census data will be kept confidential and not turned over to immigration authorities.”

Where was DHS (Dept of Homeland Security)?  Who was the US AG who allowed the above to happen?  Eric Holder. Eric Holder: The Culture of Corruption Enforcer, May 15, 2013 // Grothman: Fast and Furious scandal should be one of greatest scandals in American history: “Eric Holder was certainly not very helpful. We held him in contempt of Congress. Can you, in general, give us your opinion on the degree to which Eric Holder tried to help this investigation, and the degree to which he tried to stand in the way of finding out what’s really going on here?  “It appears he really didn’t want to get to the bottom of it. He was willing to cover it up.”

Aiding and abetting illegal aliens (not migrants, immigrants or undocumented) violates our immigration laws.  They were not invited here; they lied and cheated to get here to steal jobs that belong to Americans and fleece YOUR paycheck to pay for their “free” health care which is overwhelming and collapsing our health care system, housing, food, our natural resources like water and more.

But the Constitution doesn’t and hasn’t mattered to both parties (with a few exceptions) longer than I’ve been alive (76 years).  Cheap labor, NGO’s raking in the bux to help distribute illegals all across this country.  This isn’t a popularity contest and for decades now illegal aliens have been stealing our resources, raping, killing, robbing innocent Americans.  How many terrorists and America haters have escaped Border Patrol?  They’re here for one reason which should be obvious by now:  Votes for the rancid, corrupt Democrat/Communist Party USA.  There are now so many RINO’s in CON-gress and state houses, a huge number of Americans simply refer to CON-gress as the “uni-party”.

The director of the U.S. Census Bureau was there to make sure illegals get their share of YOUR paycheck while your family goes without because of high taxes. They use the census with dozens of questions to make sure they get what you bust your arse for – “their fair share”?  BS.  The last two times a census taker came to my door, the nice ladies identified themselves, handed me the census form to fill out and return.

Both times I politely told them to wait just a minute.  Here’s the 2020 Census Form – all 8 pages asking question after question.  Page 1, question 1. How many people were living or staying in this house apartment, or mobile home on April 1, 2020?

I put one as my husband had already passed away the second time but I also refused the 2010 snooping and answered only question one; my doggies don’t count.  I then put a big X on all the rest on every page and handed it back.  Both times the ladies were stunned and asked did I need a new form? – as in you messed up, lady.  I said no and explained why.

13 U.S. Code § 141 – Population and other census information (Cornell Law School (Emphasis mine.)

(a) – The Secretary shall, in the year 1980 and every 10 years thereafter, take a decennial census of population as of the first day of April of such year, which date shall be known as the “decennial census date”, in such form and content as he may determine, including the use of sampling procedures and special surveys. In connection with any such census, the Secretary is authorized to obtain such other census information as necessary. [Note: It’s not necessary to know if I’m male or female (the ONLY two sexes), race and all the other inquisitive questions], only how many humans lived at that address.

(b) – The tabulation of total population by States under subsection (a) of this section as required for the apportionment of Representatives in Congress among the several States shall be completed within 9 months after the census date and reported by the Secretary to the President of the United States.

Words have meaning – especially in law.  How many people resided or stayed at my house was question 1.  I was done.  The ladies said it was the law. I had to fill out all 8 pages.  I explained the word population (in this case to determine the number of U.S. House members) had nothing to do with all the snooping on those 8 pages.  Illegal aliens have no right to vote or run for Congress.  Art. 1. Section 2, Clause 2:  “No person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the age of twenty five years, and been seven years a citizen of the United States…”

They said they understood and left each time with my census filled out: Question 1 and that was the only box I checked.  I never heard back either time but was prepared for a legal battle; fortunately, a law firm offered to represent me pro bono if I was charged.  I don’t recommend you do as I did unless you’re ready for a round with the feds or have legal counsel.

Elected corrupt public servants have been going all out to protect liars, murderers, freeloaders, cheats and thieves for personal gain or more important:  voting in OUR elections and seats in Congress.  No illegal aliens or asylum seekers (93% rejected clogging our courts and robbing legitimate plaintiffs the opportunity to present important cases) should be counted during the census.

Prolific writer and amazing woman before her time Vivien Kellems, understood the theft taking place against the working man’s paycheck. The following is an excerpt from pages 41-46 of her book, Toil, Taxes and Trouble, published in 1952 and legally right on point: (Emphasis mine.)

“Since a capitation means a tax of the same amount for every person, this provision makes doubly sure that all federal taxes must be at the same uniform rate for everybody. This limitation that direct taxes be levied by the Federal Government must be in proportion to a census and apportioned among the States in accordance with numbers, is the only provision in the Constitution that is stated twice.

“The only reason that our Constitution required a census to be taken every ten years was to count the people to determine how many Representatives should go to Congress, and how direct taxes should be levied. I wonder how many Americans thought of this in 1950 when those little busybodies came knocking on their doors, asking ten thousand impudent, silly questions which were none of their, or Washington’s, business.

“There is absolutely no power granted in the Constitution which enables a top-heavy bureaucracy of empty-headed simpletons, and worse, to invade the privacy of the American people in such a monstrous manner.  The census is just a preview of what is really in store for us if they actually take over, which they most certainly will do unless we uproot and vote them out.

“The census was to count the people – that was all. The number of people determined the number of Representatives in Congress and the apportionment of direct taxes among the states.

“For a long time I asked myself, ‘Why were Representatives and direct taxes linked together and apportioned among the States in accordance with population?’ It was understandable that Representatives should be chosen in accordance with numbers but why should taxes be apportioned the same way? And then one day, out of the blue, it came to me crystal clear. All at once I understood the plan to safeguard the future freedom of the nation, conceived and executed by those scholarly men.

“I read again: ‘Representatives and direct taxes shall be included within this Union, according to their respective numbers…’ ‘No capitation, or other direct tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the Census of Enumeration hereinbefore directed to be taken.’ And in those two sentences our forefathers bound fast the hands of Congress and secured the liberty and freedom of the American people. How? By making it utterly impossible to levy an income tax.”

Well, Hallelujah!: Leftists Flip Out as President Trump Orders New Census That Would Exclude Illegals – Up To 30 Democrat House Seats Could Evaporate, August 7, 2025: “The census count is used to apportion House seats, determine the number of votes each state gets in the Electoral College for selecting the president, and drive the flow of trillions of dollars in government funds.”

If you go look at that 2020 census form you’ll understand the “flow of trillions of dollars in government debt funds” – almost all of it unconstitutional but brings in votes.  Not to mention how much goes to individuals who have NO right to be on U.S. soil.

Trump tried once before, I pray he is successful this time.  Trump ordered a new census that doesn’t count undocumented immigrants. Will it really happen — and what would be the impact?, Aug. 7, 2025, the usual liberal barf.  Undocumented means they entered this country ILLEGALLY; they buy driver’s licenses and SS cards off a street corner.  Breaking News: Vance’s Explosive Claims About Democrat Election Manipulation You Can’t Ignore (Video) – Census, August 10, 2025

We need illegals the commies in state houses and Congress bellow; they will do work Americans won’t! BS:

After ICE removes illegal workers, job applicants flood meatpacking plant to replace them, June 18, 2025 – The line of AMERICANS lined up is huge as you can see in the photo.  ICE also needs to round up employers for hiring illegal aliens for cheap labor and throw their asses in jail. Maybe then they will obey the law. ICE arrests illegal alien serving as a local police officer after attempting to unlawfully purchase firearm in Maine, July 28,2025

The corruption in this country from county to city to state capitols to CON-gress and over decades, the White House is staggering.  The lying, cheating and greed is almost beyond words by members of the Democrat/Communist Party USA.  Oh, there’s a few Republicans here and there but DemonRats in power make sure they target Republicans while their comrades walk free.

You see, for them it’s all about power and greed as their master.  I am a capitalist and firmly believe what you earn legally you can spend any way you want.  But too many of these cockroaches in state houses and CON-gress care not what you make just as long as you make them millionaires while in office.

What a party!  Farewell Address (1796), George Washington known as Father of Our Country and much loved.  Summary:

“In 1796, President George Washington published his “Farewell Address” to the nation.  After two terms in office, Washington decided to retire from public life—clearing the way for the peaceful transfer of power from one President to another.  This was one of the crowning achievements of the early American republic and an important precedent for future Presidents.  In his powerful valedictory address, Washington called for national unity and focused on threats at home and abroad.

“At home, Washington feared the rise of political factions.  Abroad, he warned of the dangers of foreign entanglements.  For Washington, both foreign influence and newly emerging political parties threatened liberty and undermined the promise of republican government.  For the American republic to survive, the American people and their elected leaders had to commit to lives of civic republican virtue—valuing reason over passion and the public good over private self-interest.” *End*

Washington spoke of the dangers of political power – party affiliation – which came to pass in this country decades ago: “The basis of our political systems is the right of the people to make and to alter their constitutions of government. But the Constitution which at any time exists, until changed by an explicit and authentic act of the whole people, is sacredly obligatory upon all. The very idea of the power and the right of the people to establish government presupposes the duty of every individual to obey the established government. (Emphasis mine)

“All obstructions to the execution of the laws, all combinations and associations under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, control, counteract, or awe the regular deliberation and action of the constituted authorities, are destructive of this fundamental principle and of fatal tendency.

“They serve to organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force—to put in the place of the delegated will of the nation the will of a party; often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administration the mirror of the ill concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common councils and modified by mutual interests.

“However combinations or associations of the above description may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.”

“I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the state, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view and warn you in the most solemn “manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party, generally.

“This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human mind. It exists under different shapes in all governments, more or less stifled, controlled, or repressed; but, in those of the popular form, it is seen in its greatest rankness and is truly their worst enemy.

“The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism.” *End*

Washington goes on to speak of foreign entanglements and why we should avoid them.  There have been many political parties since the Founding; past presidents:  Washington unaffiliated.  John Adams Federalist, Thomas Jefferson Democrat-Republican.  William Henry Harrison, Whig and so forth. For decades now we have the Libertarian Party, the Green Party and many others as well as the two dominating ones:  Democrat/Communist Party USA and the Republican Party.  For many decades we’ve seen lying and cheating on a scale unimaginable when our nation was birthed.  Yeah, there were disagreements, but nothing like we’ve seen since President Trump announced his presidency on June 16, 2015.

It’s not just the WH; mayors, city councils, state reps, state senators, U.S. Reps and Senators lie through their teeth right to your face. The majority, I firmly believe, is to move them up the ladder of power and greed.  And backed by millionaires and billionaires who don’t care which party, all they want is what they can get passed by CON-gress or a state legislature.

But, Trump is in his final term and the rats are scrambling to retain the best criminal defense attorneys money can buy.  Some will never be held accountable like career criminal Joe Biden or Robert Mueller who reportedly is in a memory care facility (likely Altzheimer’s).  Watching the former FBI Director, Christopher Wray and the worst AG in our history, little weeinie and vengeful, Merrick Garland, lie during live hearings – they need to be convicted and thrown in a federal cage right along with their coconspirators. This is just a short list, but take the time to read them.

By Joan Swirsky

August 12, 2025

Since the day that Israeli Jews––men, women, children, infants, the aged––were attacked, tortured, murdered, raped and burned to death on October 7, 2023, the entire world––save for a tiny minority of people who still know right from wrong, good from bad, moral from immoral––have vilified, excoriated, and blamed––ta da!––the Jews! The victims!

Why? It’s really not that hard to figure out.

We live in a world of eight-billion people, the vast majority of whom have never seen or spoken to or met a Jew…a Jew whose numbers comprise a microscopic 16 million, only half of that number in Israel, another approximate seven million in America, and about another million throughout the world. This represents less than an almost-invisible micro-droplet in the Atlantic Ocean.

It’s as if all the elephants in the world got together and decided that the most dangerous threat to their existence, the most looming menace to their very survival, was the ant! Gotta get rid of those ants! Gotta annihilate them, destroy their colonies, eradicate their leaders, do anything on earth to exterminate this existential danger to our very being!

And that’s the way it has been with the Jews for 4,000 years.

But if you questioned the bought-and-paid for Jew-and-Israel-hating “protestors” on college campuses and their simpatico administrators and professors, and if you asked fulminating Jew haters like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens––both the 21^st  century’s version of David Duke––and the astoundingly long list that includes the poohbahs at The NY Times, TIME magazine, the American mainstream media, the BBC, et al––if they had ever been physically assaulted or robbed or cuckolded or beaten in sports by a Jew, 99% of them would say no, although they may have suffered true narcissistic injuries when all those smart Jews got better marks in school and beat them on the medical and law boards, and made more money––on drive and merit––than their jealous critics ever dreamed of.

AGAIN, WHY THE OBSESSIVE HATRED?       

Like oozing gangrene, a deadly systemic infection, or the metastasis of invasive cancers, Jew hatred comes in many malignant strains.

Strain #1 — the Dumb Factor

In short, a dim-witted parent, family member, friend, teacher, or coach — one who was “schooled” by another dimwit — tells an innocent child that much of what is wrong with his or her life is because of “the Jew” who lives down the street, or employs his or her parent, or publishes the local newspaper…whatever.

“They may look like you and me,” the dimwit says, “but underneath that head of hair are horns, and by the way, they bake their Passover holiday bread with the blood of kids like you and your sister, and you should know that they control all the money in the world, and never forget that they killed Jesus.” Then the kid gets older, and his actual life experience contradicts what he’s heard as he or she studies or socializes or works with Jews and sometimes falls in love and marries one.

But dumb anti-Semitism is just like dumb stereotypes about tap-dancing blacks or whiskey-guzzling Irish people or can’t-screw-in-a-light-bulb Poles or Mambo-obsessed Hispanics, still destructive to a decent and respectful social order.

Strain #2 — the Emotional Factor

There are legions of highly intelligent people — in terms of IQs, advanced college degrees, professional accomplishments, published books, and fancy titles — who are nonetheless driven almost exclusively by their feelings. Ironic that they’ve spent lifetimes honing their razor-sharp intellects, refining their debating skills, priding themselves on scrupulous research — but still, emotion prevails.

This is no surprise because, simply, the emotions are stronger than the intellect. On PET scans of the brain, anger and fear “light up” significantly more often than the higher cognitive processes of reasoning and logic.

Think of a person with childhood-onset diabetes or a seizure disorder. No amount of hoping the condition away has any effect. It’s simply there, deep within, and must be treated constantly in order to stem the horrible symptoms that ensue if not attended to. Emotion-driven anti-Semitism is in this category — incurable but, unlike diabetes or epilepsy, unfortunately untreatable.

Strain #3 — the Self-Hate Factor

Okay, you may say, people of other religions may hate Jews, but how is it possible for Jews themselves to hate Jews? Surprisingly, the answer is rather simple: It’s hard to be a Jew, and this species is simply not up to it. Yes, they can be proud of their brains and talents, but when it comes to their backbones — that’s another story.

For many Jews, being a member of the world’s most historically vilified minority is just “too much” to cope with. In fact, to withstand the relentless onslaught would require them to have knowledge of Jewish history in order to correct the constant blitz of misinformation that an anti-Semitic world never tires of perpetuating, a willingness to stand on principle when the entire world is substituting propaganda and violence for righteousness, and a belief that the land of Israel was indeed bequeathed to the Jews by the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and that their return to Zion after Hitler incinerated six million of their brethren during the Holocaust was the fulfillment of biblical prophecy, proven for centuries––up to this month––by irrefutable archeological evidence.

Liberal Jews are not psychologically up to any of these challenges, hence their pathetic over-eagerness to “understand” the people who hate them, to accommodate themselves to the enemies of Israel, to capitulate to the ever-escalating and invariably-one-sided demands for “compromise,” to slavishly follow Jews like linguist Noam Chomsky, playwright Tony Kushner, and journalist Peter Beinert, who are so suffused with Jew hatred that their entire lives have been devoted to amputating any vestige of Jewish identity from their beings.

Strain #4 — the Mother’s Milk Factor

This variant is infused into tabula rasa embryos by a loathing so systemic that it suggests a DNA aberration. After delivery, infants literally imbibe a particularly toxic brew of anti-Semitism flowing either from their mothers’ breast milk or worldview. And when they have been sufficiently intoxicated, they enter into a family and “culture” that makes the hatred of Jews their entire raison d’être.

This strain has been on vivid display in the Arab world for decades — actually centuries — where toddlers are taught to echo the Jew hatred drummed daily into their developing brains, instead of being taught––as Israelis and all Jews do––how to play the piano or play ball or play with dolls, but where young children are taught by the time they’re three years old how to strap suicide bombs onto their young bodies.

It is in this “culture,” which has not changed significantly since the seventh century, that “leaders” continue to inflame the masses they have purposefully kept poor and ignorant, the better to energize them not with jobs and creativity but by a loathing fueled by adrenaline. These palace-dwelling leaders play the media like a Stradivarius to perpetuate the only product that competes with oil, which is hatred of Jews and Israel.

Strain #5 — the Green-eyed Monster Factor

According to author and columnist Dennis Prager, the reason that “for thousands of years there has been so much attention paid to Jews and why, today, to Israel, the one Jewish state,” is that Jews are God’s Chosen People.

But I think of an equally visceral kind of jealousy when I contemplate what it must have been like for a huge population of 450 million Arab Muslims in the Middle East to watch as the straggling remnants of European Jewry — cadaverous, hungry, heartbroken, stupefied by the cruelty they had endured and witnessed — rose up to defeat the savage Arab armies of Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria (backed by Saudi Arabia and Yemen) that tried to annihilate the nascent Jewish State in 1948 and then to defeat them again and again and again in the many wars the Arabs continued to initiate.

And then, to see the people they call “pigs” literally make long-barren deserts bloom, to have the Middle East’s only thriving economy, to lead the world in technology, science and medicine, to create magnificent symphonies and athletic teams and life-saving medical remedies, et al, while the most the Arab world has ever accomplished in the last eight decades is to “create” terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, et al, and of course those itty bitty suicide bombers?

All fueled by the green-eyed monster!

Strain #6 — the Bandwagon Factor

It’s impossible to know if any of these players has an upcoming election or is being bought off, bribed, or threatened, but what a coincidence! In a little more than a week, French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney decided to jump on the bandwagon of the most viciously anti-Israel organization in the world, the United Nations, and to join the foreign ministers of Andorra, Australia, Canada, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Slovenia, and Spain, to demand global recognition of the “State of Palestine” and an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

Then, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz––surprise surprise! ––announced a boycott on the transfer of military equipment to Israel. Then Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), suddenly decided that the crisis in Gaza was a “genocide.” Then, two weeks after posing for a smiling photo with PM Netanyahu, Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) suddenly found the starvation of Palestinians “unacceptable.” And then there is the Jew-hating bile of Lara Logan, and the beat goes on.

But make no mistake––this is all a huge collective expression of anti-Semitism! All of these people know of the massive shipments the Israelis have made to the area, the equally massive theft of those goods by Hamas, the phony pictures of starving children, as writer Hymie Rubinstein has documented,  and most of all that there is no starvation in Gaza!

All these strains of anti-Semitism can never be resolved––have never been resolved––by rationality or fairness or sanity. But if this scourge of hatred is ever cured/fixed/resolved, I strongly suspect that the Nobel Peace Prize will go either––as it should––to the best friend Israel ever had, President Donald J. Trump, or to a Jew!

May the Children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other Inhabitants; while everyone shall sit in safety under his own vine and Figtree, and there shall be none to make him afraid. He also declared that the United States government “gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance”.  —George Washington’s letter to the Hebrew Congregation in Newport, Rhode Island, in 1790.

I will insist that the Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation. If I were an atheist and believed in blind eternal fate, I should still believe that fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing nations. If I were an atheist of the other sect, who believe, or pretend to believe, that all is ordered by chance, I should believe that chance had ordered the Jews to preserve and propagate to all mankind the doctrine of a supreme, intelligent, wise, Almighty Sovereign of the universe, which I believe to be the great essential principle of all morality, and consequently of all civilization. —President John Adams, Letter to Francis Adrian Van der Kemp, Feb. 18, 1809

[The Jewish people] by its sufferings has furnished a remarkable proof of the universal spirit of religious intolerance inherent in every sect, disclaimed by all while feeble, and practiced by all when in power. Our laws have applied the only antidote to this vice, protecting our religious, as they do our civil rights, by putting all on an equal footing.  —President Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Mordecai Manuel Noah, May 28, 1818.

The Hebrews, persecuted and downtrodden in other regions, takes up his abode among us with none to make him afraid. He may boast…of his descent from the patriarchs of old – of his wise men in council and strong men in battle. He may even turn his eye to Judea, resting with strong confidence on the promise that is made him of the restoration to the Holy Land, and he may worship the God of his fathers after the manner that worship was conducted by Aaron and his successors in the priesthood, and the aegis of the Government is over him to defend and protect him. —President John Tyler, in one of the first speeches he made after taking office, 1841.

If the statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one percent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of smoke lost in the blaze of the Milky Way. Properly, the Jew ought hardly to be heard of, but he is heard of, has always been heard of.  He is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his commercial importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his bulk. His contributions to the world’s list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine, and learning are also way out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers. He has made a marvelous fight in this world, in all the ages; and has done it with his hands tied behind him. —The Jew is a survivor — and always will be. Harper’s Magazine, September 1899 Mark Twain

Our Constitution requires sufficient virtue among men for self-government, otherwise, nothing less than the chains of despotism can restrain them from destroying and devouring one another.  —President James Madison

I have taken liberty in sharing these lengthy quotes so that readers know the sentiments of our founders regarding America’s Jewish citizens. Early in the establishment of this country, our Jewish brothers and sisters were welcomed with open arms.

It is accurate to say that our founding documents, as well as the spirit and principles embodied in them, opened the door to the inclusion and welcoming of Jewish people within the framework of religious liberty.  Religious freedom is a cornerstone of our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

While some of the colonies had stricter religious policies initially, the overall trend in the early days of our country, particularly after the War for Independence, was tolerance and acceptance, especially of Jewish communities.  This made America a welcoming home for all legal immigrants and was a significant departure from European countries where minorities faced persecution or discrimination.

Although the Statue of Liberty was gifted to America by France in 1884, it wasn’t dedicated until 1886.  Yet, the early open embrace of immigrants was a beacon of hope to those who were looking for a home where they would be safe from harm and free to worship their faith.

James Madison, the fourth President of the United States, is considered the Father of our U.S. Constitution.  Madison was the primary author of the First Amendment.  He was President Thomas Jefferson’s Secretary of State.  Jefferson authored the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, and it was championed by Madison.  It was adopted in 1786 and influenced the First Amendment. Jefferson considered it a significant achievement.  It guaranteed that no one could be compelled to support or attend a religious worship, and that individuals were free to profess their religious opinions without civil repercussions.

Men of Letters

The term “Judeo-Christian” refers to “the influence of the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament on one’s system of values, laws and ethical code.” It is not just a system of theological thought, but a culture of values as seen in one’s individual’s right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  America has long been referred to as a Judeo-Christian society because Christianity shares scriptures from the Hebrew Bible along with the Ten Commandments which have influenced our western culture.  (Thankfully, several states have once again posted them in classrooms.)

Our founders, especially those who gathered to write the U.S. Constitution, were great men of letters. Thomas Jefferson was the Ambassador to France when the delegates gathered in Philadelphia to revise the Articles of Confederation, but instead, decided to scrap the Articles and create an entirely new framework for government, the U.S. Constitution. Despite his absence from the convention, he remained informed about the proceedings through correspondence, particularly with James Madison.

Jefferson was sent to a private school until the age of 16, where he excelled in languages.  The next two years were spent at William and Mary College. He studied 15 hours per day.  After college he studied law with George Wythe, learning languages including English, French, Italian, Latin, and Spanish, while also having some knowledge of German and Dutch and reading Ancient Greek.

James Madison graduated from the College of New Jersey, present day Princeton University.  Madison studied and learned Hebrew at Princeton under a tutor named John Witherspoon and learned to speak and read the language. His study of Hebrew was profound and influenced his work, as he came to understand the power of parallelism in the Old Testament.

Many of the founders saw in the Hebrew Bible, a model for a republican form of government.  Biblical principles were also influential in shaping American laws and legal culture, particularly in areas of morality and justice.

Haym Salomon

Is it any wonder then, after eight long years of war, that our founders desired religious freedom as a hallmark of their new country?  The man who gave his fortune for freedom from tyranny, was Haym Salomon, a Jewish American who procured the funds for Washington’s army that led to our independence from Britain.

Salomon was born in Poland but emigrated to America in the 1770s arriving in New York on the eve of the Revolution. As he learned more of Britain’s tyranny, he decided to risk his life by joining the Sons of Liberty. They were responsible for the Boston Tea Party and the slogan “No Taxation Without Representation.” The Sons of Liberty were a secret revolutionary organization that played a key role in resisting British rule in the American colonies. Many of America’s founders were members. Samuel Adams was considered their leader.

When the British suspected him of spying, Salomon was arrested and confined, but his life was spared.  He managed to secure his freedom by agreeing to act as translator for the English and Hessian guards who struggled to communicate with one another. His loyalty had not shifted, though; some have speculated that Haym used his role to convince hundreds of Hessian soldiers to defect from the British army. Soon enough Haym was arrested again, this time for espionage, and this time, sentenced to death. But by ingratiating himself to a guard, he managed to escape once more.

Continuing to give information to the Americans, he assisted their prisoners to escape British captivity while operating a profitable victualing business, providing all the necessities for the troops, in New York City which were under British occupation.

During the American Revolution, Haym Salomon’s primary role was financial, which was crucial to the army’s ability to procure provisions and continue fighting.  He helped convert French and Dutch loans into ready cash by selling bills of exchange to American merchants, providing the government with the liquidity to pay for necessary supplies.

According to the Jewish Federation of Philadelphia, “Haym fled to Philadelphia, where he restarted his brokerage firm and became an active member of Congregation Mikveh Israel. The leaders of the Revolution respected Haym, despite some antisemitism in the ranks, relying on him to help oversee Congress’ financial transactions.

“He went above and beyond, raising over $650,000 (about $15 million today) for the war, much of which was from his own pocket. In 1781, when George Washington was told that Congress could not afford the $20,000 in cash he needed to march his troops in the north to Yorktown, Virginia, where southern forces had trapped the British army, he simply responded, ‘Send for Haym Salomon.’ Within days, Haym raised the $20,000 (nearly half a million dollars today), allowing Washington’s army to race to Yorktown winning the final battle of the Revolutionary War.”

Washington’s forces defeated Lord Charles Cornwallis’ veteran army dug in at Yorktown, Virginia. Victory at Yorktown led directly to the peace negotiations that ended the war in 1783 and gave America her independence.

Salomon died prematurely at 45, leaving a widow and four children.  His loans to the American army were never repaid.  He is buried in an unmarked grave in Philadelphia’s

Mikveh Israel Cemetery, though his burial site is marked by a plaque and a granite memorial placed by his descendants and other organizations. The cemetery is a significant historical site, being the first Jewish burying ground in Philadelphia and the oldest in the nation.

Haym Salomon saved Washington’s Army and literally helped to win the War of Independence.  But that wasn’t the first war won with Jewish involvement.

Master Sargeant Roderick “Roddie” Waring Edmonds

On January 27, 2016, a ceremony was held at the Israeli embassy in Washington DC. Israeli ambassador, Ron Dermer, and Yad Vashem Council Chairman, Rabbi Lau, presented the Yad Vashem Righteous medal and certificate of honor to Master Sargeant Roddie Edmunds’ son.

Master Sergeant Roddie Edmonds (b. 1919) of Knoxville, Tennessee, served in the US Army during World War II. He was captured by German forces during the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944 and became the senior non-commissioned officer at the German prisoner-of-war camp Stalag IX-A, a camp near Ziegenhain, Germany.  Master Sergeant Edmonds was responsible for the camp’s 1,275 American POWs.

Stalag IX-A, a camp in line with their anti-Jewish policy, the Germans singled out Jewish POWs, and many of them on the Eastern Front were sent to extermination camps or killed.

Close to the end of the war on January 27, 1945, the Germans announced that all Jewish POWs in Stalag IX-A were to report the following morning. Master Sergeant Edmonds ordered all POWs, Jews and non-Jews alike, to stand together. When the German officer in charge saw that all the camp’s inmates were standing in front of their barracks, he turned to Edmonds and said, “They cannot all be Jews.” To this Edmonds replied, “We are all Jews here.”  The German took out his pistol, putting it to Edmonds head, but the Master Sergeant did not waver and retorted, “According to the Geneva Convention, we have to give only our name, rank, and serial number. If you shoot me, you will have to shoot all of us, and after the war you will be tried for war crimes.”

The German commandant backed down. Edmonds’ actions are credited with saving up to 300 Jewish-American soldiers from possible death.  He never told anyone about this.

After his death in 1985, Edmonds’ wife gave his son, Chris Edmonds, several of the diaries his father had kept while in the POW camp. Chris Edmonds, a Baptist minister, began researching his story, and stumbled upon a mention of the event at the POW camp. He located several of the Jewish soldiers his father saved, who provided witness statements to Yad Vashem.  Edmonds is only the fifth United States citizen, and the first American soldier, to earn the honor of “Righteous Among the Nations”.

Soldiers’ Testimonies

Among the Jewish-American POW servicemen who were saved was Sonny Fox, an American television host and executive, who witnessed and later recounted Edmonds’ actions.  After being captured at the Battle of the Bulge and traveling in a boxcar to the camp for three days without food and water, he arrived at Stalag IX-A.

Fox recalled in decade-old interviews, now on YouTube, that an American POW registering the newly arrived prisoners asked Fox his name, rank and serial number. And then he asked Fox for his religion. “Jewish,” Fox said through the physical and mental fog of no food and little sleep.

“Protestant,” the clerk answered.

Fox thought the clerk hadn’t heard him. “Jewish,” he repeated.

“Protestant,” the clerk said and then dismissed him.

A few days later, Fox understood why. The Nazi guards swept through and seized all prisoners who had answered “yes” or had Jewish-sounding names or “looked Jewish.” They were sent to the Berga concentration camp, many never to return.  Sonny Fox died at the age of 95 from Covid.

Lester Tanner explained that in World War II, a man named Roddie Edmonds stood up for him. It became the defining moment in his life.

In 2008 an article appeared in The New York Times about Lester Tanner, who in 1980 sold his townhouse to former President Richard Nixon, after Nixon had been rejected from an apartment building because residents there didn’t want him living near them.

Tanner, a devoted Democrat, thought that was terrible.

He reached out to the Nixons and said they could buy his place.

In explaining why, he, a Democrat, would be gracious to a disgraced Republican, Tanner explained that in World War II, a man named Roddie Edmonds stood up for him.  It became the defining moment in his life and made him committed to doing the same.

Another eyewitness was former combat medic Paul Stern.  He described how when they were captured by the Germans, the prisoners were forced to march for four days in the bitter cold to a railway station. POWs died on the way. At the station they were loaded into boxcars and driven for several days, without food, to a camp near Bad Orb, Stalag IX-B, where the Jewish POWs were segregated into special barracks, with lice-infested mattresses and starvation food rations.

Stern and the other Jewish noncommissioned officers were fortunate and were taken to the nearby camp of Ziegenhain, while the other lower ranking Jewish POWs were sent to slave labor camps. It was in this second camp, Stalag IX-A, where, thanks to Edmonds’s courage, Stern and the other Jewish POWs were saved from the second attempt to single out the Jewish POWs.

There are many more stories of Jewish soldiers who were saved by Master Sargeant Roddie Edmonds.  He also inspired bravery in all the men and gave them hope that they could survive the camp and return home.

Conclusion

How few know that a Jewish man saved Washington’s Army and helped him win the final battle, giving America her independence.

How few know that a WWII veteran from Knoxville, TN risked his own life to save 200-300 Jewish soldiers from certain death by the Nazis.  Yad Vashem recognized Edmonds as one of the Righteous Among the Nations, he is the first American soldier to receive that honor.

We know antisemitism never really faded away, but the hatred has exploded again.

The Hebrew Bible states in Leviticus 19:18 “but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the Lord.”

The Christian Bible echoes Leviticus in Romans 13:9 “Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”

Where is the church that gave us Roddie Edmonds?

We are all Jews now. To fight antisemitism, it is time to don a Kippah. 

Never Again is Now!

“Courage is one thing. A sense of purpose another. When you put them together in one human being, the world can be changed.”  —John Brown

By the mid 1970’s, Viet Nam’s stranglehold had loosened its grip on America. Our crippled country was trying to heal itself as wounded veterans limped home. The more unfortunate were stuffed into hospitals. My Army military duty was spent working with amputees and burn patients.

Afterwards, I returned to teaching.

That summer of 1984, I pedaled through heavy traffic for the beginning of my coast to coast bicycle adventure. The Los Angeles smog choked me for 100 miles into the Mojave Desert. After crossing the Colorado River, I breathed easier when the brown cloud flowed south toward Phoenix. I pedaled into cleaner air in the mountains. Climbing steep grades took half the day while coasting down the backside took only 45 minutes.

In New Mexico, I crossed the continental divide and descended into the desert on Route 380. With a blazing sun overhead, I struggled along the two-lane pavement. Sweat dripped from my face and arms. Every breath crowded my mouth with air as dry and hot as cotton balls. Heat waves rippled over the pavement as I descended further into the barren landscape. The thermometer hit 103 degrees by the time I was ten miles out of Roswell, New Mexico. With no aliens in sight, I kept going.

(Sandi and Frosty on the Columbia River Gorge of Lewis & Clark Trail)

Ahead, I noticed a lone figure walking along the left side of the road. It was hard imagining how anyone could be walking down the highway in that torrid heat.

“I wonder what that guy’s doing walking in this heat?” I said to myself. “Looks like he’s got a dog with him too.”

“That isn’t a dog,” I gasped seconds later, doubting my eyes, and straining harder to make out what I saw.

It was another man walking on his hands. Within a few seconds, I found out why. His legs were missing.

Less than forty yards away, the lone figure was a man reading a book, walking beside another man walking on his hands. A camper van was parked on the shoulder a half mile ahead. I rode up even with them. Something inside just made me stop and lay my bike in the gravel.

I couldn’t help crossing the road, knowing that whoever this man was, he possessed inconceivable courage. What was he doing out here walking on his hands in the desert? He saw me and stopped. He lowered his body down to the ground, resting it on a leather pad that covered his two severed legs just below the groin. His Paul Bunyan upper arms led down to his hands, which grasped two rubber pads. Sweat soaked his T-shirt. His dark hair framed a tanned, round face punctuated by a pair of clear brown eyes.

“Hi, how ya’ doin’?” I said, approaching with my hand extended. “My name is Frosty.”

“Glad to meet you,” he said shaking my hand. “I’m Bob Wieland.”

“Pleasure to meet you,” I said. “I have to say, Bob, I’m more than a bit curious seeing you out here in the desert.”

“The same could be said about you,” he said. “What are you doing out here?”

“I’m riding my bicycles across America.”

“That makes two of us,” Bob added. “I’m walking across. I’d bike but my legs are too short for the pedals.”

His humor was natural. We bantered a few minutes about the weather. Bob gave me a short history of his journey. His friend drove the car ahead and came back to walk with him. Bob lost his legs in a grenade explosion in Viet Nam. I asked him when he had started.

“I’ve been out 19 months and have completed 980 miles,” he said. “At my speed, I can finish this adventure in three more years, maybe less.”

“Why are you doing it?” I asked.

“I want Americans to know what wars do to people,” he said. “Besides that, there’s a lot of adventure out here on the road. I suppose I could sit back and get fat watching TV for the next fifty years, but I want to do something with my life. I want to make a difference. I have to make do with what I have left. You know the saying, you only go around once.”

“You have my greatest admiration,” I said, shaking his hand again. “Guess I better get moving.”

“Take care,” Bob said. “Have a good ride. I’ll get there one of these days.”

Turning away from that amazing human being, tears filled my eyes. I started crying half way across the road. What he was attempting staggered my imagination. My friends thought I was nuts taking a transcontinental bicycle trip, but they had no understanding of how easy I had it compared to Bob Wieland. Miles and years down the road, that moment colors my mind as vividly as the day it happened.

Most human beings have handicaps in one way or the other–physical or psychological. What’s important is how they handle their limitations. He concentrated on what he could do, not on what he couldn’t do. Instead of giving up, Bob pushed forward into the unknown not only determined to succeed, but expecting to succeed.

George Bernard Shaw celebrated people like Wieland when he wrote, “This is the true joy of living, spending your years for a purpose recognized by yourself as a right one…to be used up when they throw you on the scrap heap of life. To have been a force of nature instead of a selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.”

Bob Wieland pushed himself through 3,500 miles of hardship that few people could comprehend. He gutted his way up mountains, sweated his way across deserts, and fought through raging storms. Every labored breath drew him closer to his goal. Along the way, he saw his share of sunrises and sunsets. He breathed free the sweet and succulent breezes of life. With every human being he met, Bob Wieland inspired and transformed them with his quest. Along the way, he was shown the opposite of war–in human kindness.

After three years, eight months, and six days, Bob Wieland reached the Atlantic Ocean, succeeding in his quest to walk on his hands coast-to-coast across America. There may be no greater triumph over tragedy than Bob Wieland’s will to live his life with purpose, power and meaning.

He is an inspiration to all of humanity.

Texas is under siege, not by invaders, but by gutless Democrats who fled like rats from a sinking ship, abandoning their posts to sabotage a righteous redistricting mission.

More than 50 Democrat lawmakers bolted the state, cowering in Illinois and New York to block a Republican-led congressional map that would cement the will of Texas voters — 56% of whom roared for Donald Trump in 2024.

Governor Greg Abbott, a titan of resolve, has drawn his sword, vowing to hammer these traitors with “special session after special session after special session” until they’re crushed under the weight of their own cowardice.

This is war, and the Texas GOP is a strike force that will not yield.

These Democrat cowards, led by the spineless Gene Wu, think they can paralyze the state House by denying it a quorum.

Their flight is a betrayal of every Texan who expects their elected officials to stand and fight, not scurry to safe havens like roaches dodging sunlight.

Abbott’s response is a thunderclap: civil arrest warrants are ready to be issued, prepared to bring these deserters back to face justice.

Attorney General Ken Paxton, a fierce advocate himself, has launched a legal assault, filing a lawsuit with the Texas Supreme Court to remove Wu and his allies from their seats for breaking their oaths.

Paxton’s X post on August 8, 2025, labeled these runaways “rogue legislators,” calling for their immediate arrest and initiating an investigation into potential bribery by shadowy groups like Texas Majority PAC.

The GOP’s iron grip is tight, and it will crush this rebellion.

The redistricting plan is no mere map — it’s a battle standard for Texas Republicans. It will secure 30 of the state’s 38 congressional districts, up from 25, ensuring the voice of Trump’s legion resonates in Washington.

Abbott’s justification is ironclad: a federal appeals court ruling and the 2024 election results demand this correction. Republican voters, trapped in Democrat-drawn districts, will finally be liberated.

This isn’t gerrymandering — it’s justice, aligning the map with the raw will of the people.

Democrats scream “corruption,” but their words are hollow, drowned out by their own hypocrisy. After all, they did flee to Illinois.

Blue states like Illinois, with its 14-3 Democratic stranglehold, and Massachusetts, with zero Republican voices, have gerrymandered their maps into fortresses of liberal dominance.

Abbott called them out, exposing their sham outrage as a desperate ploy to deflect from their own sins.

The Democrats’ exodus isn’t just a political stunt — it’s a knife in the back of flood-ravaged Texans.

The special session, meant to deliver critical relief to central Texas victims, is frozen because these quitters chose self-preservation over service.

Abbott’s righteous fury burns bright:

“These Democrats are denying aid to their constituents,” he thundered, branding them derelict and unfit.

Their absence stalls not just redistricting but the very lifeline their voters need.

This is treason against the people, and Texans will not forgive their betrayal.

Nationally, this fight is a powder keg. Trump’s endorsement propels the GOP’s effort, positioning Texas as the leader in a redistricting battle to secure the House for 2026. Democrat governors like Gavin Newsom threaten to respond with their own maps, but their words are ineffective.

Their states’ redistricting processes are limited by committees and commissions, unlike Texas, where Abbott uses executive power decisively.

Illinois’s map, a distorted image of fairness, exposes the Democrats’ strategy: rig the game, then cry foul when the GOP fights back.

Texas will not yield to its double standards.

The Texas Supreme Court looms as the final battlefield. Abbott’s lawsuit against Wu argues that quorum-breaking hands a third of House Democrats the power to dictate law for all Texans — an abomination that must be crushed.

Wu’s pathetic defense, claiming his flight fulfills his oath, is a lie spat in the face of every Texan.

The court will see through this charade, and when it rules, these deserters will face the reckoning they’ve earned.

Their seats will be vacated, their influence obliterated, and their names etched in infamy as the cowards who fled when duty called.

This is the Texas GOP’s finest hour.

Abbott and Paxton are not just leaders — they’re avengers, using every tool at their disposal to restore order.

The Democrats’ flight is a desperate gasp from a struggling opposition, clutching to obstruction as their last resort.

But Texas is built in fire, not fear.

These runaways will be tracked down, their plans uncovered, and their power taken away.

The redistricting map will be approved, flood relief will arrive, and the GOP will push forward, strong and steady. Texans want fighters, not cowardly whisperers, and the Republican machine will deliver.

The Democrats’ surrender is near — they can run, but they can’t escape the fury of a state united under the banner of strength, loyalty, and victory.

Expelling the influence of globalism and anti-Americanism from Canada is just as important, even more so, than defeating Russian aggression in Ukraine.

While the world has been preoccupied with the war in Europe, a war has been taking place in Canada, with a national business group known as the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses Canada (CCMBC) warning in a special report titled “The China Syndrome” that the Chinese Communists already have major influence in Canada, that the country’s much-ballyhooed health care sector is controlled by the World Health Organization, and that its major public employee union is controlled by Marxists.

But please do not give up on Canada. Some of our friends to the north have a plan to reestablish their friendship with America and break their lies with the globalist New World Order regime running Canada through international banker Mark Carney, also known as “Marx Carnage.”

On my Rumble TV program, United Party of Canada leader Grant Abraham says communism has come to the country he grew up in and loves through attacks on parental authority, bank account freezes, political prisoners, and clear religious discrimination of Christians. In this broadcast, he proposes independence for Alberta, a conservative province, and urges American conservatives to know who its real conservative friends are north of the border.

He is battling for a seat in an August 18 by-election in Canada, against fake “conservative” Pierre Poilievre, who spouted the ridiculous “Canada First” mantra and rejected Trump’s policies designed to make both countries stronger.

Abraham says, “This election is going to make a difference in Alberta as well as the rest of Canada, as it stands as a turning point for the liberation of all Canadians and the restoration of true freedom in our nation.”

A loser and Trump basher, Poilievre lost to Carney in a national election, despite his “Conservative Party” being up 25 points in the polls at one time.

Poilievre even lost his seat in the Canadian Parliament, in a district in Ontario, Canada, which was once considered “conservative” and which he had held for 20 years. Now he is trying to get back into the parliament through a special by-election. Grant Abraham is calling his bluff.

“This By-Election is HUGELY important for what kind of Canada you want your children or grandchildren to inherit,” Abraham tells his supporters, adding, “The people of this riding [district] will decide between the two Canadas.”

The first Canada, he explains, “the one that is being broken apart and destroyed by the Liberal agenda of the last 10 years, AND by the failure of the Conservative Party of Canada to identify the threats – let alone challenge them. The second is a Canada ruled by oppressive laws, censorship, the destruction of parental authority, bank account freezes, political prisoners, and clear religious discrimination of Christians; this Canada enables the destruction of human life and hope. MAID, rampant drugs (fentanyl) and a total failure to protect the unborn. This Orwellian Canada is advancing because the Conservative Party has failed the Canadian people while it races left to win power in a broken, imbalanced Canada.”

Of these deadly projects in Orwellian Canada, one of the most odious is called Medical Assistance In Dying (MAID), the deliberate murder of mostly old people through “assisted suicide.” They are “life unworthy of life,” to use the Nazi phrase.

As we documented in our column, “Canada’s Descent into Globalism and Communism.” Canada went communist on a national level years ago under the control of Marxists like Pierre and Justin Trudeau. But Grant Abraham of the United Party of Canada has a plan to change that.

Abraham is pressing for independence for Alberta, the conservative province, because Canada is broken and he says people must reject the “tyranny” of the federal government.

However, Poilievre wants to take back leadership of the Conservative Party at a convention in January and run again on a national level, while opposing independence for Alberta.

Win or lose in the August 18 by-election, Abraham wants to press for independence for the province, which is rich in natural resources.

Looking back in history, recall that American Founding Father Thomas Jefferson had wanted to invade Canada. In a letter dated August 4, 1812, he referred to the “acquisition of Canada” being “a mere matter of marching” that will result in “the final expulsion of England from the American continent.”

Now, America’s survival depends on a friendly Canada.

Like the RINOs in the U.S., Canada’s “conservatives” have failed. Grant Abraham’s United Party of Canada is the best hope. Canada’s battle must be just as important as Ukraine’s resistance against Russian aggression.

Many times, in old Western novels or films, the phrase “Here comes the cavalry!” was said with a shout of relief by those in besieged forts or outposts when horse-mounted soldiers of the U.S. Cavalry appeared in time to turn the tide of the battle into victory. The phrase continues to be used to describe an individual, group, or something that arrives in time to rescue people from overwhelmingly difficult situations.

In Peter Jackson’s 2002 cinematic adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, Théoden, king of Rohan, evacuated his people to the Hornburg, a great sanctuary stronghold nestled in the fortified mountain gorge of Helm’s Deep. Saruman, having turned to evil and allied with the Dark Lord Sauron, had marshaled a 10,000-strong army of genetically enhanced orcs called Uruk-hai and sent them to conquer Rohan and kill every man, woman, and child.

Aragorn, who was with Théoden, aided in the preparation for the imminent battle with the Uruk-hai, whose host could be seen in the distance closing in on the stronghold. The women and children were sent into the mountain caves behind the Hornburg. All able-bodied men, ranging from those who had seen too many winters to those who had seen too few, were upon the wall of the stronghold, fortifying what defenses they could and preparing for the Uruk-hai onslaught.

While the defenders, with their families behind them, sought to muster their courage, most of them saw the situation as hopeless and thought they would not live through the night. But Aragorn remembered the words Gandalf told him four days earlier at Edoras: “Look to my coming at first light on the fifth day. At dawn, look to the east.” With this in mind, he encouraged them.

The Uruk-hai army swarmed into the mountain gorge, and though the defenders fought bravely throughout the night, it managed to breach the wall, penetrate the main gate, and overrun the stronghold. Théoden, Aragorn, and the remaining defenders retreated to the keep and did their best to fortify the door. But the Uruk-hai’s battering ram steadily made progress in breaching it. The women and children in the caves heard it and wept, believing that their destruction was near. Théoden said in despair that the fortress was taken and that the fight was over.

Aragorn looked up at a window in the keep and saw daylight emerging, remembering that it was the fifth day. Filled with expectation at this good sign, he encouraged Théoden and his men not to give up hope but to ride out to meet the enemy without fear. As the door was broken down and the Uruk-hai streamed into the keep, the king sounded the charge, and the defenders fought them to the fortress gate, where a mass of them awaited them.

As Aragorn, Théoden, and the defenders looked east at the early morning sunlight shining on the top of the hill leading to the gorge, Gandalf appeared dressed in white and riding a white horse. Along with him was a host of the riders of Rohan. Gandalf led them in a charge down the hill into the stunned mass of Uruk-hai fighters, thoroughly defeating them and saving the defenders of the Hornburg and their families. The remaining Uruk-hai fled in terror into the nearby Fangorn Forest, where they perished.

During the time of the judges in Israel, the people enjoyed forty years of rest after they had been delivered by God through Deborah and Barak from their Canaanite enemies that had oppressed them for twenty years (Judges 4-5). But during this time of peace and prosperity, Israel once again fell into complacency and unfaithfulness to God by worshiping Baal. So the Lord delivered them into the hand of Midian, whose hosts would consume the produce of the land and the animals like locusts, leaving Israel impoverished and in starvation. On the brink of extinction, Israel remembered God and cried out to Him for deliverance (Judges 6:1-6).

The Lord appeared to Gideon, who was threshing wheat in the winepress to hide it from the Midianites, who would take it if it was threshed in the normal way — in the open on a hilltop for the wind to blow away the chaff. He addressed him as a valiant warrior and commissioned him to deliver Israel from the power of Midian, promising that He would be with him.

Understanding the overwhelming and devastating power of Midian and his own insignificance, Gideon sought a sign that it was really God who was sending him, and the Lord provided it (Judges 6:16-27). Later, still with fear and doubt in his mind, he asked God to grant him another sign. First, to make the morning dew remain on a woolen fleece he put out on the threshing floor but keep the ground around it dry; second, to cause the morning dew to rest on the ground but keep the fleece dry. The Lord mercifully granted Gideon’s request (Judges 6:36-40).

When Gideon gathered an army of 32,000 men to go against the several times larger Midian host, the Lord told him that there were too many; otherwise, Israel may boast and claim that deliverance came by their own hands. The Lord told Gideon that He would grant victory over the Midianites with just 300 men (Judges 7:1-8).

Realizing his nervousness and fear regarding the seemingly impossible task ahead, the Lord graciously gave Gideon another sign to bolster his faith in Him for victory and deliverance. He told him to go down to the edge of the Midian camp at night with his servant and listen to the words they say. Gideon did as the Lord said.

“When Gideon came, behold, a man was relating a dream to his friend. And he said, ‘Behold, I had a dream; a loaf of barley bread was tumbling into the camp of Midian, and it came to the tent and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down so that the tent lay flat.’ His friend replied, ‘This is nothing less than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel; God has given Midian and all the camp into his hand.’” (Judges 7:13-14)

Encouraged and strengthened by these words, Gideon worshiped the Lord and returned to encourage his men. When he sounded the charge and the 300 rushed down into the enemy encampment, the Lord caused confusion among the enemy so that they turned their swords on one another as they fled in terror.

God brought a great victory and deliverance to Israel through a humble, insignificant, fearful man by turning him into a valiant warrior who came to trust in Him through the signs He provided. When Israel wanted to make Gideon their king, he refused, saying, “I will not rule over you, nor shall my son rule over you; the LORD shall rule over you.” (Judges 8:22-23)

As we hear, read, or watch the news, many of us realize that we live in a world that grows increasingly dangerous and wicked, where we are often threatened by very powerful evil people and organizations that seek our enslavement and destruction. They eat away at our substance by taking away what we can have and continually increasing the cost of living, much like the Midianites did against Israel. They seek to frighten us into submission with threats of annihilation through war and disease that they engineer. Because of this, we may feel like we are under a hopeless siege and tempted to give in to despair.

In The Lord of the Rings, Gandalf gave Aragorn the sign of sunrise on the fifth day, indicating that he would bring help in time to save the people in the Hornburg, and this encouraged him to persevere through the night and encourage the defenders to continue fighting even when it looked hopeless. God gave Gideon signs that encouraged him and his 300 men to fight and obtain victory over and deliverance from a seemingly invincible enemy.

The Lord Jesus has given us the signs of fulfilled prophecy, demonstrating that He was the Messiah come into the world to reconcile lost humanity to God through His perfect life, complete atoning death on the cross, and resurrection from the dead. He graciously grants salvation to all who trust in Him from the overwhelming enemies of sin, death, and eternal separation from God in hell.

Because Jesus is the risen Savior, we can trust His word that He will return on a white horse with the host of heaven as King of kings and Lord of lords to crush the oppressive evil world system and set up His permanent kingdom of righteousness, justice, and peace (Revelation 19:11-21).

“There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see THE SON OF MAN COMING IN A CLOUD with power and great glory. But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” (Luke 21:25-28)

Do not lose heart or succumb to fear. The signs are there. Believe in the Lord and continue faithfully serving Him come what may (Galatians 6:9), sharing the gospel message with others so that they too may receive salvation, encouragement, and hope.

Because of Calvary, the cavalry of the Lord Jesus Christ is certainly coming!

One could spend an entire lifetime in deep study and never fully digest or comprehend all that’s shared with us in the book of Daniel.  It’s so richly filled with information, revelations and mysteries.

Admittedly, Daniel can be difficult to understand or interpret, but that doesn’t mean it should be overlooked or that we should remain at the elementary school level of understanding only the Sunday School story of Daniel in the lion’s den.  Because this book is infinitely more deep and rich.

In Daniel 10, we read about Daniel being visited by a heavenly being.  This angel told Daniel that his prayers were heard immediately, but the angel was delayed for 21 days, as he wrestled with the demonic “Prince of Persia,” who tried to stop him from getting to Daniel.  For those who don’t know, Persia is modern day Iran, and I believe the Prince of Persia is still very much active there.

And after the angel gave Daniel his message, he stated that he was returning to fight the Prince of Persia once more.  So, the message he brought — a prophecy of what is to come on the earth, was extremely important and we should pay attention.

After telling Daniel about the future, we get to Daniel 12, where we have this: “At that time Michael shall stand up, the great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, every one who is found written in the book.

“And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament.  And those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.”

After giving Daniel this prophecy, the angel said, “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; (when) many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”  In Daniel 12:8-10, we read Daniel’s response to the angel:  “Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, ‘My lord, what shall be the end of these things?’  And he said, ‘Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed ‘til the time of the end. Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.’”

Even Daniel did not understand, but was told that at the time of the end, the righteous and wise will understand the words that were “sealed up” — and that time of the end will come  when knowledge will be increased and many will run to and fro.

I think we can all admit, we’d like to know exactly when “the time of the end” will be.  Will it be any day now?  Will it be in our lifetimes?  That’s not for us to know.  No one knows the day or the hour, except the Father in heaven.  Our job is to faithfully carry out our duties in His name while we’re here, doing the work He’s called and equipped us to do.

But as we study God’s Word, we can read the signs of the times we’re living in, and specifically, in addition to great trouble and tribulation, the likes of which no one has seen before or will ever see, we know that knowledge will be increased at the time of the end.  That’s what I’d like to focus on here.

Do you realize that the wheel was invented in 3,000 BC?  If the earth is approximately 6,000 years old, that means it took man a thousand years to invent the wheel.  The printing press was invented in 1450 AD.  That’s a time span of 4,450 years.  But it was only 379 years later, in 1829, that the first electric motor was invented.  By the 1830s, Samuel Morse invented the telegraph and long-distance communication was now possible using Morse Code.  But by 1876, this was already becoming outdated technology, when the first telephone was invented.

Twenty-seven years later, in 1903, the Wright Brothers made the first powered flight in the world’s first airplane, although man had already taken flight in “gliders” by 1890.  Flight became rapidly advanced, with airplanes being used heavily in World War 1 and 2, and of course, then there was the birth of air travel becoming common for regular citizens, and then by 1950 jet engines became commonplace.

And of course, there was the rapid advancement of boats and ships…from Noah’s ark to crude canoes and boats, fishing boats, sailboats powered by wind, then ships built for military use, also first powered by wind, which rapidly advanced to coal-powered engines.  Long distance travel now became possible for the average person on luxury liners.  Today we have nuclear submarines, and floating five-star hotels in the form of enormous cruise ships with every amenity you could imagine.

The first crude automobile — a self-propelled vehicle — came about in 1770 with a “steam-powered carriage.” In 1880, Karl Benz, a German engineer, built the first lightweight, three-wheeled motorcar, powered by gasoline.  And by the early 1900s, cars as we know them today started to become commonplace.  Within just 20 years, and with Henry Ford making cars affordable for the average person, the horse and buggy were quickly being replaced.

I could also mention the development of railroads, but suffice to say, people are now easily able to go “to and fro” — we have supersonic air travel, luxury cruise ships, and automobiles are now simply taken for granted.  And the average new car today has more technology built into it that most can comprehend, including GPS for navigation and radar to avoid collisions.

The first microprocessor was invented in 1971, paving the way for electronic devices and personal computers.  I remember when the first hand-held calculator was invented.  It cost a fortune.  Now you can get them at the dollar store.  Within 20 years, the World Wide Web had been invented, leading to the development of social media, e-commerce and all that the internet entails.

I can also remember, when I was a young child, we had a “party line” for our telephone.  You might pick up the phone to make a call and find one of your neighbors having a conversation with someone else and you’d need to wait your turn.  But cell phones became commonplace in the 1990s, and by 2007 the amazingly stunning features of the first iPhone were shown to the world.  With this device, you could not only make calls, but send text messages with a more normal keypad, you could store your music collection on it, access the internet, and it even became your camera.  Little did we realize that those cell phones would quickly become our “slave trackers” that people would take with them everywhere they went.  And not only carry them everywhere voluntarily, but they’d panic if somehow, they forgot them.

The first AM radio broadcasts were government messages sent out in the early 1900s.  The invention of vacuum tubes brought radio into ordinary people’s homes in the 1920s. Then, frequency-modulated radio, or FM radio for short, was invented in 1933.  Meanwhile, the first practical use of television happened in 1927.  Three years later, we had the first TV commercial broadcast, and the BBC began regular TV transmissions.  There were only 200 television sets in use in the world in 1936, but by the 1940s, cable TV was introduced to rural areas, and by the ‘50s, most homes in America had given up radio for television.

When I was young, we had three channels to choose from.  Four, if you counted PBS, which aired on UHF frequency and was often hard to tune in.  Today, most homes are equipped with SMART TVs, and over-the-air broadcasting is still in use, but only by about 14% of the population.  Most today either use cable or satellite TV services, with hundreds of channels available, or some form of internet streaming service with literally thousands of options for programming.

And speaking of the increase in knowledge, we’re no longer limited to getting information from newspapers, radio and television broadcasts.  Today, we can access information on literally any topic through the internet or our hand-held phones instantly, with millions of websites, mainstream and alternative news media, and countless platforms with a variety of content from news and information to an infinite number of specialized topics.

We can also send messages around the world instantly through texting and email.  We can even “video chat” with people on the other side of the world in real time, instantly.

I’ve read that in 1900, human knowledge doubled every 100 years.  By the end of 1945, the rate had come down to every 25 years, and by 1982, our knowledge doubled every 13 months.  I’ve also read that within the coming year, and through the use of Artificial Intelligence, which is rapidly expanding, human knowledge will double every twelve hours!

I can’t comprehend the rapid advancement of knowledge in the world.  But knowledge is not really knowledge when people are using AI.  In my research, I’ve discovered that many college students today are using AI to do their assignments.  For example, they may need a 15-page research report, which would take many weeks to study, research, and write.  Today, they can simply tell “AI” to write the report — on any specialized topic — and in less than a minute, they’ll have a fully completed article, documented with footnotes and sources…which they’ve not only not researched themselves, but in many cases, they’ve  never even read the article they turn in for a grade.  College professors can no longer tell the difference between work the student has done and work the student used AI to complete.

Today the so-called “elite” want to include human minds in the “Internet of Things.”  They’re talking about brain implants to connect human beings with Artificial Intelligence.  Might this be how Satan and his demons will be able to once again turn “every thought of every man  only evil all the time?”  Understand that Satan is not omnipresent and is not omnipotent.  But by connecting all of mankind into a supercomputer artificial “brain,” there will be no more private thoughts, no more critical thinking.  In fact, no need for anyone to think at all.  AI will do our thinking for us, and very likely, individuals tied into this system won’t be allowed to think.

It’s truly mind-boggling when you think how much knowledge has increased just in the past 100 years, and how exponentially it continues to increase.  Just about anything you purchase today becomes “outdated technology” within just a few months, or even a few weeks.

But friends, always remember, “knowledge” isn’t really knowledge if we don’t understand what we’re dealing with.  And certainly, knowledge is not wisdom.  There are many highly educated college graduates with Master’s Degrees and Ph.D.s that don’t have even an ounce of common sense.  But we can be assured of this, because we find it in the only source of truth that still exists in this world — God’s Holy Word: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.”  Amen!

MORE Office Holders Attacked By Tallahassee

Yesterday, I wrote that Orlando County Mayor, Jerry Demings, had signed ICE agreements from Tallahassee because he FEARED that DeSantis would remove him from office, but had no direct knowledge of such a threat.

NOW HE HAS THAT KNOWLEDGE

From the Independent Sentinel this morning,

Little more than 24 hours passed since the Orlando Mayor Jerry Demings vowed to never sign an agreement with ICE. He said he wouldn’t be “bullied into doing it.” Then Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier threatened the mayor and all six county commissioners that their failure to do so would result in their removal from office by Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Under what authority, you might wonder.

The Florida constitution does have quite a bit of room for bullies, hiding in certain verbiage, and those bullies HAVE BEEN flexing their political muscle on members of BOTH parties.

The Florida Constitution under Article IV, gives the governor power to remove for “malfeasance, neglect of duty, drunkenness, incompetence, permanent inability to perform official duties, or commission of a felony.” I know it’s tempting to believe bad stuff about the “other side” in these hard-fought political times, but the more likely scenario is that DeSantis and his new AG Utheimer are showboating for the country.

Alligator Alcatraz, the idea Uthmeier gave DeGov is a good example.

I have yet to hear the specifics of Uthmeier’s threat to Orlando officials, but it hard to believe that all seven were drunk, disorderly or criminal enough to be suspended from their duties.

You’d think that, after the fiasco of summarily removing duly elected county officials and telling folks with whom they are allowed to associate, Tallahassee might try to avoid this move. But, no.

The Governor’s power is not absolute, of course, and must be reviewed by the Florida Senate. When the Senate contains enough gubernatorial sycophants, though, it all boils down to political warfare. This is what is happening in Florida, imho.

The Senate does not have to review actions of the Party, however. That leaves the RPOF free to roll.

There were only in-party “rules” which are written at will, when the RPOF (Republican Party of Florida) hatchet man Helmich went after the duly elected representatives in Manatee County, and when the Rules Committee “rearranged” agendas and candidates in Duval, Lee, Collier, Osceola, Hillsborough, St. Johns and other counties.

No one in Tallahassee objected to sending a letter to all state Republican groups FORBIDDING THEM to associate with The Reclaim Campaign, for its efforts to help people seek out and vet good candidates. Nor did Tally say anything about the lawsuit brought against the Florida Republican Assembly (FRA) for using an elephant mascot and the word, “Republican”.

There were “rules” to cover all that, somehow. Rules with little oversight.

“Forbidding association with”…. THAT is something that no one should push aside in their minds. Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin also forbade free association.

Seems pretty clear that Governor Ron DeSantis is engaging in political fisticuffs and most of the legislature is helping. DeGov and the Totallytarians know of every move that the RPOF team makes. There is little if any objection voiced, so I lay the responsibility for all this, at their feet. Even the ones in hiding.

I never again want to hear that Tallahassee is doing things against the Governor’s wishes. Or vice versa.

Ron DeSantis is a small man with large ambitions. He is using his current office – to which he was first elected only by .4% in 2018 with the assistance of the man he now stands against – to make another run for the Presidency of the United States. That is a very open “secret”. He does all he can from Tallahassee to help himself and his ambitions. Having a wife as the next Florida Governor would be a juicy addition to his game.

Is DeGov just acting like all politicians? No, not really. . . only like those we’ve come to distrust.

This is NOT, OUR REPUBLICAN PARTY, as Marjorie Taylor Green has said of the Faux Republicans in Congress. It has become a Big Boys Club where outsiders need not apply.

Agreed.

She went on to threaten, however, which threat was picked up by the Daily Beast and posted on “X”, a breakup with Trump over it.

Disagree.

Right now, I believe that is hasty and destructive. Not to mention stupid, to say something of this sort out loud where the enemy can and will make headlines with it. She wants to dump on one of the FEW politicians who has been successful against those on whom she dumps. Go figure, as they say.

The Daily Beast is a left-leaning rag, and is always on the alert for breaks in Trump’s armor, as that is the Left’s one and only chance to climb out of the grave they’ve dug themselves. They want to believe that MTG’s frustrations are fruitful for their side. When expressed in public, they just might be. Why risk it?

Donald Trump is, at this point in time, our best hope, I still believe. Donald John Trump is not perfect, he is our best and only hope right now. He and his troops have enough with which to deal, without a “conservative Republican” of national fame lifting her leg on the whole mess at this point.

Fragmenting a party which contains so many Globalists in Republican “clothing” all but guarantees big losses for the People’s Party, and our freedom in the next election.

We are just now awakening many voters who have remained clueless about politics, to realize that they actually like what Trump is doing. Election integrity professionals like Kris Jurski and Dr. Richards of EagleAI, are working overtime to make sure that the next vote, the 2026 Midterm, reflects the REAL CHOICES of the people. Trump has pledged a national effort on election integrity.

Now it not the time to dump and jump, MTG.

It’s different to take on a state party that has wandered so far away from the People’s choices, because THAT is where we can make a real difference.

I write to help people become aware. I want them to ACT, LOCALLY, for what they want, in their own counties and towns – things like clean voter rolls, clean air and water, the ability to pay for enough power to run their lives. To do this successfully, citizens have to be able to have a say in whom they elect, and they have to have a state party that is not afraid of the choices their citizens will make.

DC politics are the bright shiny object which distracts people from the only place they can make a difference – AT HOME.

Fresh political winds are blowing in Florida, as well as in a number of other places in this great nation. Please breathe them in deeply. Get involved, even if only to donate to others who are making a difference.

Now is THE very best time to make a real difference. Or forever hold your tears for our lost freedom.

Author’s Note: It’s not new news that Data Centers are becoming quite an issue, all across America. These massive centers are also an issue, across the world. With the continued push for economic gains BEFORE people’s wellbeing, we’re going to see even more of these centers built. My previous article[1] sought to point out some of the most ‘not so much talked about’ dangers. This article will go into deeper detail and share new information. —LMT

Monster Move #1:

Water control

If you live in an area where the water is controlled by a government or a government approved private entity, the control you have is limited. If you live where your water comes from a well, you know that water can become scarce in a drought, which limits you as well. In more recent years, we’ve seen water bans in communities of all sizes due to droughts. So, what are we in for, when a data center takes the water away from citizens? Texas has seen this happen in real time.[2]

Millions of gallons of water consumed by a non-living thing. Think about it, most of that water is gone forever. Then, citizens are asked to further sacrifice their usage. How is this not a monster move?!

Look in your country, city, state or district to see what group is controlling water. For example, the county of North Carolina I live in has a ‘water corporation[3]. Within its plan that was ‘set in stone’ in 2020, all kinds of levels of ‘conservation’ are in place. If you violate these levels, you could face fines. Are these per day? Week? Month? While the plan does appear to be for droughts, it’s not exclusive to droughts, so the question is: What happens if and when a data center causes enforced conservation? Is a citizen/taxpayer expected to pay a fine for something man-made?

Monster Move #2:

Farmland loss

Have you noticed that the majority of data centers are taking up farmland? What about the solar panels that might be used to help ‘feed’ a data center? Or a nuclear facility that can ‘feed’ a data center? If you cannot see the connections for how this will impact the crops grown or livestock raised, then I beg you to research the topic. For example, FarmDocDaily[4] reported that the difference in the number of acres of farmland (includes pastures) between 1997 and 2022, in the US, was 75 million acres LESS. Does your state or location have a farmland preservation program? If so, what about buffer zones surrounding those precious acres? The proposed data center in my town chose a location that is in a buffer zone and will negatively impact the preservation zone. As an example, see the North Carolina farm preservation program[5] website (Footnote #5). Texas, is leading the nation in lost farmland due to urbanization and residential booms. North Carolina is 2nd. By 2040, we’ll lose 1.2 million acres at the speed we’re going.

Nationally? According to Farmland Partners[6], across the nation, a whopping 20.1 million acres has been lost (2022) compared to five years prior. Ironically, the same website stated that “Unless global grain production gets a big bump from yield increases, an additional 23 to 24 million acres of farmland will be needed in the next 5 years to meet food demand..”

The question to ask here, is do I want to eat or do I want to ruin farmland with data centers?

Globally? FoodTank[7] reported that enough land to make two Germany sized nations has been lost or ruined. “Food sovereignty’ is the buzz phrase used on this website. Ironically, the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals describes this phenomenon as ‘food insecurity[8]. Have you looked at the rankings[9] of UN member-states which have adhered to the SDG #2 (Zero Hunger)? For example, America’s ranking for SDG #2 is lacking (red). Contrast that with a nation like Australia, which is also lacking, but has stagnated, too.

Monster Move #3:

Hype vs fact

If you’ve heard a data center representative speak about how great it will be for the local economy, schools, etc., then you know the city leaders have also been given the same sales pitch. It’s swoony worthy talk for sure. Trouble is that pretty soon, those leaders are spreading the same kind of talk. Here’s one hype point vs fact:

Millions of dollars that can go to all sorts of community needs. However, at what cost to humans? Wildlife? Natural resources? Across the nation and world, folks are seeing first hand the actual facts/costs and it’s downright criminal! Healthcare costs? Are you kidding me, not much is said about that.

For example, where I live, the proposed data center sales pitch states more money for local schools. Let’s say that might be $5.00, of that, less than ½ a cent actually makes it into the school. Where did the rest go? Administration costs or county/city funds. To further extend my example, the manmade lake in my town has already been ‘flagged’ as a hot spot for cancers.

Yet, little to nothing has been stated in the sales pitches that shares what health care concerns and costs will be when data center related health care issues arise.

In 2024, the Washington (state) Dept. of Ecology[10] released information about air quality. It revealed that diesel exhaust is an issue. Nitrous oxide was also found to be an issue. Both of these chemicals/gases are known for lung and heart diseases.

Related to this information is a study published by Han, Wu, Li, Wierman, and Ren (Dec. 2024) that detailed the costs associated with data center health care damages. According to their research, data centers will increase asthma cases by 600,000. At least 1,300 will result in premature death. Public health care costs, by 2030, are expected to exceed $20 billion!

In 2018, NC NewsLine reported that Lake Norman, NC (that man-made lake I mentioned above), that an increase in our youth, for thyroid cancer[11] caused a study to be conducted by the NC Dept. of Health and Human Services. As of 2020[12], a study was still in the design phase.

Let’s go back to the Han, Wu, Li, Wierman and Ren study[13] for a moment. The state of Virginia has the most data centers in the entire USA. See what the study shared about the air pollution and diseases possible in that state. However, look at the other states which will also be involved.

(Total annual public health care costs of $220-300 million. Included in that is at least $190 million for West VA, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Washington, D.C.!)

Here’s another question, since the study is only as old as 2023, what long-term costs to our health will there be?

What else can impact our health? Landfills! Data centers have what’s called ‘e-waste’. While some of the hype is that e-waste can be recycled, it’s also true that landfills will also see an increase in old hardware (and who knows what other waste) from data centers. Each piece of hardware is supposed to last about 5 years. The Univ. of CA, San Francisco has reported[14] the following, “E-waste does not belong in the landfill, recycling, or compost. When e-waste is disposed of improperly and ends up in a landfill, it releases toxic chemicals that are harmful to both human health and the environment. The toxins released have been found to cause cancer, neurological damages, and miscarriages. E-waste has environmental justice impacts as well. Marginalized communities that live next to landfills are disproportionally affected by the toxins that e-waste leaks into the surrounding environment.”

The U.S.’s Environmental Protection Agency has reported that a partnership with the United Nations will address e-waste disposal[15]. Currently, America’s e-waste is shipped to other countries. In some of these countries, people are becoming burdened with healthcare issues caused by the toxic chemicals released. Should the e-waste stay in America, what other healthcare diseases will ‘pop up’? It’s worth noting that the EPA partnership information is somewhat dated, so you’ll need to check your area for updates.

Other hype vs facts questions you should consider:

What tax incentives for corporations which either build data centers or use them? Are the tax incentives local, state, regional or federal? Are the tax breaks combined like coupons at a grocery store?

What tax breaks will local communities give citizens for enforced participation?

What about land value losses or property losses?

Will my local property tax increase?

What happens when either the city or corporation uses eminent domain or other measures to take my home and land? (A town[16] in Oregon has had this happen[17])

What legislation is being drafted to help create more data centers? Check local ordinances, zoning requests, state or regional legislation and finally see what is happening at a federal level.

For example, the Trump 2.0 Administration has used an Executive Order[18] to increase, nationally, data centers. The U.S. Dept. of Education[19] has also issued a “Dear Colleague” letter embedding more AI (artificial intelligence) in our schools. Which can lead to over exposure to screens. If you don’t live in America, what is your nation or area doing?

Finally, at what cost to our freedoms, liberties will you say ‘enough’?

At what cost to our future generations or our existing planet will you stand up against this rising tide of control? While many of the data centers target low-income locations, what happens when the centers start appearing in middle-class areas? What about the local economy where small businesses are concerned? The data centers need HVAC services, specialized medical care, etc.? Data center services like these will go to major corporations[20], not local mom and pop businesses. What, if any, trade policies will need to be created between governments and private entities?

August 8, 2025

Since I don’t follow celebrities, I’d never heard of Sydney Sweeney before a couple weeks ago. But the stir made by her jeans ad for a company I’d also not heard of, American Eagle, was impossible to miss. Here’s the ad below.

What did we just see? A twentysomething woman being a bit sly and seductive, maybe suggestive, without being slutty (like, e.g., Miley Cyrus). She’s clean-appearing and well-dressed, as we’d expect of someone promoting clothing. I see no tattoos or face piercings or other forms of self-mutilation. She reminds me of the way most girls looked when I was in high school.

But she’s white, a blue-eyed blonde, talking about — gasp! — “good jeans,” opening the door to the homonym between jeans and genes.

If there’s anything to send the cultural Marxies into hysterics, it’s that, and hysterics are what we’ve seen from “influencers” on CCP-owned TikTok. And from supposed celebrities in a few mainstream publications, i.e., publications mostly controlled by the cultural left. I say supposed because most of these people I never heard of before, either.

One spoke of the “shift toward whiteness” the ad represented, but— well, I can’t be bothered to quote these lunatics at length. I will note the oft-repeated response of White House communications director Steven Cheung who described “cancel culture run amok,” reminding anyone listening that this is why Trump won and Harris lost. “This warped, moronic, and dense liberal thinking is a big reason why Americans voted the way they did in 2024. They’re tired of this bull***t.”

Score one for the right. They’ve learned what to do when lefties make total fools of themselves. Unfortunately, the right doesn’t get everything right.

Enter Candace Owens, who has launched a crusade to prove that French president Emmanual Macron’s wife Brigitte was born a man and “has a penis.” Apparently she’s made a whole video series about it (no, I haven’t tracked that down, either).

I only heard of this quite recently, too. I thus have no idea whether there’s anything to it or not, but you want to know something? I don’t really care. To be sure, if Owens is right, it proves how decadent French leadership really is. It is interesting that no one seems to have come forth with definitive proof that Owens is wrong, such as presenting valid birth records, verified photos of Brigitte when she was a child, school records, etc. Not that I know of, anyway. Anyone reading — if anyone is reading — can prove me wrong by sending me links, and I will post a corrective addendum.

The bottom line, though: we already had abundant reason for seeing Macron as serving EU (i.e., globalist) power elite interests more than the interests of the French people. He’s an elitist’s elitist, which is why figures like Marine Le Pen continue to have a substantial following.

That’s France. Owens is an American.

Thus the question on my mind: Why is she bothering with this when Americans have real problems, especially with this administration having gone as sideways as it has?

Trump recently signed an executive order empowering federal agencies to clear out homeless encampments and lock up the homeless in mental institutions. Let me hand the mike to John N. Rutherford of the Rutherford Institute:

First, President Trump issues an executive order empowering federal agencies to clear out homeless encampments and lock up the homeless in mental institutions using involuntary civil commitment laws intended for dealing with individuals experiencing mental health crises.

Days later, a gunman allegedly suffering from a mental illness opens fire in New York City, killing four before turning the gun on himself.

Coming on the heels of Trump’s executive order aimed at “ending crime and disorder on America’s streets,” the shooting has all the makings of a modern-day Reichstag fire: a tragedy weaponized to justify allowing the government use mental illness as a pretext for locking more people up without due process.

An Orwellian exercise in doublespeak, Trump’s executive order suggests that jailing the homeless, rather than providing them with affordable housing, is the “compassionate” solution to homelessness.

According to USA Today, social workers, medical experts and mental health service providers say the president’s approach “will likely worsen homelessness across the country, particularly because Trump’s order contains no new funding for mental health or drug treatment. Additionally, they say the president appears to misunderstand the fundamental driver of homelessness: People can’t afford housing.”

Owens chasing after Brigitte Macron is a major miss for the right. And not its only miss.

Consider, too: a Marxist Muslim (or something like that) recently won the Democrat Party’s nomination to run for mayor of New York City. He self-identifies as a democratic socialist, and he’s obviously built a substantial support base.

This time, let’s turn to someone who wouldn’t be caught dead defending someone like that: Tom Woods, who is an arch-Libertarian. From a recent emailing:

Not long ago, Zohran Mamdani — who openly repeats classic Marxian slogans — won the Democratic nomination for mayor of New York City.

Many people were appalled that such a radical candidate could have gained such purchase with the electorate.

Well, let’s take one group: professionals in their 30s.

They followed the rules. They got the expensive educations. The result: instead of the comfortable lifestyle they were promised, they can barely keep their heads above water in the city of their birth.

As my old friend John Carney put it: 

“These voters are not clamoring for socialism out of youthful rebellion. They’re reacting to a broken bargain. They grew up being told that education was the path to a stable, meaningful life.

“Instead, they’ve entered a labor market that treats professional work as disposable, housing as a luxury good, and children as a financial impossibility. Many have good salaries by national standards — $80,000, even $120,000 — but in New York City that can still mean roommates, debt, and no hope of buying a home. They’re too rich to be poor and too poor to feel secure.”

That is where a lot of Zohran Mamdani’s support is coming from: not from hardcore Marxists, but from disillusioned people who did as they were told, and the promised benefits never materialized.

It goes without saying that Mamdani’s proposed solutions would be disastrous. But when one side is acknowledging the problem and the other is pointing and shouting “Communist!” I think we know which one is going to win.

You can’t beat something with nothing.

My conclusion from this is that if following the rules leads you to such a state of despair that you’d vote for Mamdani, these are stupid rules.

I couldn’t sum it up any better!

When I was much younger, there were folks who “clamor[ed] for socialism out of youthful rebellion.” That’s not what is happening today. In my younger years, housing really was affordable. Now, even college graduates with degrees in real subjects (not “gender studies” type stuff) with what they thought was a ticket to the American Dream are finding (1) no jobs that allow them to use their educations, just “gigs,” many of them not even full-time; and thus (2) home ownership is priced completely out of their reach.

The social contract, as much of Generation Z understood it, is broken! (I don’t even want to think about what Generation Alpha might be facing; the oldest Alphas are just entering their teens.)

This is not an adolescent game. This is real life, the dystopia that has emerged full-force during the New Normal.

This state of affairs is pushing people leftward even as the right pushes back against the left’s silly wokery.

Much of what we’re seeing is structural, not ideological. The structural factors are made worse by our civilization’s lack of an adequate philosophical core or center, unless “greed is good” is supposed to be a philosophy. Doug Casey, the investment advisor and commentator, has often charged that Trump lacks any philosophical center. If he’s right, Trump is just mirroring the institutions around him.

Peter Turchin handles the structural side of things in what could well be this decade’s most important book: End Times: Elites, Counter-Elites, and the Path of Political Disintegration (2023). I’ve written of Turchin’s impressive accomplishments before. He observes, first, based on history, that worsening economic inequality is fundamentally destabilizing, especially if a critical mass of have-nots (some of them former haves) come to believe that the haves have somehow rigged the system.

And it’s true: we did not have “hedge fund” billionaires when I was growing up, either. There are reasons for wondering if it is even possible to earn a billion dollars in a year doing actual work that serves others. Come to think of it, I’m not sure we had any visible billionaires at all — products, also, at least in part, of currency debauchment (thank you, Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury Department, and thank you Richard Milhaus Nixon for killing the gold standard).

Fifteen years ago, Turchin was using models he had developed to forecast that a number of destabilizing factors would converge in the 2020s, and that these could easily lead to a “spiral of social disintegration.”

In End Times, Turchin developed the idea of the wealth pump — what I call welfare-statism in reverse (redistribution of wealth upwards) — when the wealthy have been able to work the system in such a way that wealth flows disproportionately into their coffers, and out of the hands of the middle class. Result: the common lament that the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and the middle class shrinks. Turchin calls this public immiseration.

Efforts to join elite status as Turchin understands this term — not power-mongers but professional people with serious university educations and skills, the sort of people Tom Woods mentioned — increase faster than there is work for them to do. Elite overproduction is the phrase Turchin uses for this. He compares what’s happening to a game of musical chairs where, instead of the same number of people going after a dwindling number of chairs, the number of competing people increases while the number of chairs stays the same (or, in some areas, actually does shrink).

Competition for the same (or a dwindling) number of jobs that match their skills increases to the point of absurdity, and jobs tend to go to the politically well-connected or those preferentially favored for other reasons (e.g., affirmative action). The fact that people naturally try to economize, i.e., look for the most convenient path through their problems, helps bring about the structural dilemmas.

Conservatives and Libertarians don’t like to talk about structure. To them, that concept has Marxian overtones. But the “disillusioned people” Tom Woods’s friend described aren’t Marxists. They are just frustrated elite aspirants listening to someone they see as having listened to them.

The third factor, the one most likely to lead to a societal death spiral, is the coming of counter-elites: Donald Trump who very effectively positioned himself as a political outsider, or “polarizing” figures like Joe Rogan, Steve Bannon, Tucker Carlson, and Candace Owens whose listeners include the aggrieved and the alienated. Having gained large followings on their own platforms, these figures have moved the public toward often-justified distrust of the nation’s dominant institutions which are increasingly dysfunctional.

This is a path toward civilizational rupture on multiple fronts: political polarization, class, sex, and just the growing difference between those who still trust the system and us “conspiracy theorists” who are despised by the insiders and the trusting.

Neither the cultural left nor much of the right sees this, I don’t think.

The cultural left sees “neo-Nazis” behind every tree and in the likely innocent ad starring a pretty actress.

The right shouts “Communist!” at someone like Mamdani who is talking about genuine problems such as unaffordable housing even if through a destructive ideological lens, while one of its visible members chases the wife of a foreign president over “gender identity.” If Owens wins the lawsuit the Macrons have filed, what will that have accomplished, insofar as bringing about real solutions to real problems?

Did we ever truly want to Make America Great Again? Then why isn’t the leadership viewing every public issue, every pursuit, though the lens supplied by two questions: will this pursuit contribute to that, and if so, how? If the answer to the first question is No, then the right thing to do is just drop it!

The deepest problem I see: the materialism at the core of our Big Tech controlled and increasingly surveilled dystopia.

We seem faced with a choice between “liberalism” (or is it actually neoliberalism) and “authoritarianism.” Just in case both tacitly presuppose secular materialism, then the “choice” is too simple.

Materialism makes it impossible to develop and maintain the idea of all individual persons as having intrinsic value, except perhaps as an intellectual abstraction. Intellectual abstractions don’t get us anywhere. First premises have to be baked into our lives organically, and into the functioning of our institutions which will then respond to real human problems.

My prediction is that unless we recover the God of Christianity — real, lived, Biblical Christianity, not “Christian Zionism” or dispensationalism — “authoritarianism” will win. We will continue on our present road towards Technocracy and the total surveillance of police-state structural violence.

We won’t have to worry about supposed eugenic implications of “good genes.” The elderly who can’t contribute to the system economically (the primary societal measure of human value in a secular materialist culture) will have to worry about involuntary euthanasia.

The intrinsic value of the human person! That’s what progressives not caught up in foolishness about “neo-Nazis” should be talking about; and that’s what conservatives able to resist going down rabbit holes such as Brigitte Macron’s “gender” status should be talking about.

Getting Government, mandates, and subsidies out-of-the-way will benefit humanity and allow creative free enterprise to succeed in delivering electricity to the world.

The rising cost of electricity is primarily due to the entrenched nature of utility monopolies, which restrict consumer choice and inhibit market competition. As the electricity demand steadily increases—driven by factors such as the proliferation of electric vehicles, population growth, and the rapid expansion of energy-intensive data and AI centers—electricity supply remains limited by outdated regulatory frameworks and market models.

Protected from competition, utilities have a minimal incentive to innovate or control prices. Increased expenditures associated with integrating unreliable, intermittent, and low-energy-density renewable energy sources, volatility in fossil fuel markets, and heightened regulatory requirements are passed on to consumers. Without the discipline imposed by competition, there is little to prevent continual price increases; thus, as demand surpasses supply, the fundamental principles of economics mandate that costs will continue to escalate for all who rely on the electrical grid, which is everyone.

Historically, nuclear power systems have been approximately 97% identical to coal power plants, with the primary difference being the heat source, which is the energy required to convert water into steam to power the turbines. Coal mining operations faced threats to their monopolies when the heat from a small percentage of naturally occurring radioactive decay of uranium (U-235) proved to be millions of times more potent than the heat generated by burning coal. The uranium (U235) that occurs naturally as a trace material in the coal contains more energy than the coal itself. The coal industry, instead of viewing nuclear power as a rival, should have continued its early practice of promoting nuclear power as its “next generation” power. We are trying to give the fossil fuel industry a good reason to return to its previous policy of embracing nuclear power.

The recent craze for clean energy did not revisit the powerful clean energy solution of nuclear power but came up with the absolute worst solutions possible – wind and solar power. These are the most expensive, least reliable, and environmentally disastrous “solutions” to electricity production that anybody could have cooked up. Trying to integrate these boondoggles into the various national grids is very expensive and causes blackouts in other countries.

The strange world of nuclear power centers on the realization that nature has provided us with a unique solution to improve our quality of life, yet our society is amassing as many obstacles as possible to its fruition. Commercial nuclear power has a 70-year track record of enormous success to be proud of.

The benefits of nuclear energy have been obscured by the massive amount of money spent to create a fog of doubt in the public’s perception of these benefits. Techniques such as this used to be called “antitrust” or “unfair competition”, but these days they seem to be “business as usual”.

This “business as usual” is especially troubling because the very Government we trust to lookout for our best interests is complicit in creating the fog that is clouding its progress. We can ponder why this is the case all we want, but we need to focus on how to reverse the damage caused over the last 40 years of the marketing of electricity to the public.

The marketing of electricity is now conducted through business entities called “utilities,” and current government thinking has led us to believe that electricity can only be marketed as a monopoly.

Therefore, we are limited to purchasing our electricity from only one company. This is further complicated by the fact that there is no other commodity that directly affects our quality of life than electric energy. If you possess this commodity, you are part of the top tier of wealthy societies. If you do not, you are relegated to third-world status with a very meager quality of life. The very thing that nature has given us to lift our lives out of poverty is subjected to government-supported obstacles designed to deny us the maximum benefit of this bounty purposely.

Even proponents of nuclear power seem focused on relegating this industry to failure. No product is marketed by describing dangers that could happen, even if those dangers have a proven history of actual safety. No person has ever been hurt from the normal operations of nuclear power production in almost 70 years of actual history. The Chernobyl incident did not happen under “normal operations”. Nobody was hurt because of the failures of either Three Mile Island or Fukushima. No other industry can even come close to this safety record. We accept the risk of driving cars when more than 40,000 people each year die from such behavior. We accept the risk of flying commercial airlines that kill an average of more than 500 people per year. The safety burden on these industries is almost non-existent compared to the massive burden imposed on the nuclear power industry by government involvement in this business.

It is difficult to justify the stringent restrictions and prohibitive progress imposed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, especially when their claim of preventing safety failures contradicts the fact that the nuclear industry has been the safest on the planet over the last 70 years.

However, the most significant burden on the nuclear power industry is the massive weight of utility monopolies. Customers must purchase power from a single source, regardless of the cost. If the enormous costs imposed by “renewables” crop up on your bill, the price will rise. If the cost of coal and natural gas increases, you have no alternative but to pay the price.

While the demand for additional electricity over the past 20 years has been in the range of a few percent per year, AI and data centers will need 10% or more per year alone for their power-hungry infrastructure. You will pay the price for this mistake as demand for electric power increases. The immutable rule for increasing demand while supply remains constant is that costs rise. With no alternative supply, they will continue to rise. Why would a monopoly want this to change? It is a guaranteed profit, all on the backs of hapless ratepayers.

Yes, you are not “customers”. You are “ratepayers”. The companies building data centers have stated that they will bid costs as high as necessary to get their power. Exceeding a dollar per kWh still realized massive profits for these centers, and some have stated they will be profitable at three dollars per kWh ($3 per kWh, or at least 15 times the current price). So, who will get electricity? Consumers who think electricity is expensive at $0.20 per kWh, or those willing to pay $3.00 per kWh.

No electric power system, except for nuclear, is scalable enough to meet this growing demand. Furthermore, the new types of nuclear power plants can recycle the slightly used nuclear fuel from the existing fleet of nuclear power plants that has accumulated over the past five decades, offering almost unlimited electricity at pennies per kWh.

The roadblocks ahead are the monopolies of utilities, which have a high resistance to change, as they always have.

Yet, both AT&T and Standard Oil were “de-monopolized” by Federal mandate. Yet, arguably, the most essential commodity to citizens seems to be mandated to remain a monopoly by the same government (or, maybe not the same?). Electricity can be easily transmitted directly to customers through the electric grid, just like phone service is transmitted over radio networks. In fact, with the advent of modern Generation IV reactors, they can supply direct power without a grid. All we need to do is get the Government monkey off our back and relegate them to their original purpose of looking out for us all through creating and enforcing laws that mandate fair play in a free enterprise world.

Free enterprise in the electric power sector will unleash innovation and competition, resulting in the lowest electricity rates. All citizens will benefit from that, but, as always, you must demand it.

“Bicycling unites physical harmony coupled with emotional bliss to create a sense of spiritual perfection that combines one’s body, mind and spirit into a single moving entity. Bicycling allows a person to mesh with the sun, sky and road as if nothing else mattered in the world. In fact, all your worries, cares and troubles vanish in the rear-view mirror while you bicycle along the byways of the world: you pedal as one with the universe.” —Frosty Wooldridge

It could happen in the morning when you pedal down the highway to see dewdrops sparkling off the leaves of a cherry tree. You stop to pull cherries off the tree along the Lewis and Clark Trail in Oregon. Their succulent sugars bathe your mouth with magical energy and cause your taste buds to turn summersaults on your tongue.

How about that moment where you saw a DQ along Route 66 in New Mexico? You could not stop yourself from buying an ice cream cone that slid down your throat with all the joy of a culinary waterslide that you loved when you were a kid. It splashed your entire being with happiness.

Do you remember that night by the fire with new cycling friends camping in Morro Bay, California on Route 101, with Arctic Terns, Canada geese and another 50 species of migratory birds squawking in the water? How about those flames licking the night air while you watched your dinner bubble up on the coals—ready to be devoured by your hungry body? The magic of a day well-lived day on your bicycle!

Remember that ride across Kansas when the sun hung low in the sky to create your own shadow that stretched 30 yards across the highway into the next field? Your shadow followed you, delighted you and in the end, when the sun burned into the western sky, you found yourself missing its magic—when your shadow suddenly vanished—poof! Yet, the memory delighted you!

How about that moment this summer, pedaling with your friend on East River Road along the Yellowstone River, Montana headed south toward Yellowstone National Park? The western sky burned scorching orange colors into the thunderheads in the heavens at the end of the day. You felt a slight mist of rain falling lightly on your shoulders. As you raised your eyes to the east, a double rainbow touched down where the sun blazed on a 100-acre meadow of summer green. Talk about magical moments!

“Don, look to the East,” I yelled.

“Holy catfish,” my friend said. “My God! It doesn’t get any better than this!”

“Can any greater joy come from life than living inside the ‘moment’ of an adventure? It may be a fleeting ‘high’, a stranger that changes your life, an animal that delights you or frightens you, a struggle where you triumphed, or even failed, yet you braved the challenge. Those moments present you uncommon experiences that give your life eternal expectation. That’s adventure!” Frosty Wooldridge, on tour, Lewis and Clark Trail

A has-been journalist from the old legacy media, Jeff Greenfield of ABC News, is trying to put lipstick on a pig, in the sense of whitewashing the communist and Jihadist views of self-described “Democratic Socialist” Zohran Mamdani. But in doing so Greenfield falls into the muck and mire by attempting to deceive the public about how the “socialists” are working with the communists and the Jihadists.

The American people have a right to know not only that Mamdani is a communist but a radical Jihadist-style Muslim of the Ayatollah of Iran variety.

On CNBC, the business channel, host David Faber debated Mamdani supporter, Senator Elizabeth Warren, over his economic and financial policies that are guaranteed to fail. But that’s only one small part of the story.

For the inside story of the communists and Iranian forces backing him, please read our FREE special report on our website.  Then consider a donation so we can continue to probe the subversive and Islamic forces backing Zohran Mamdani in the mayor’s race.

Greenfield’s article never mentions the word “Muslim” because of course that would constitute “Islamophobia.”

Like others in the media, he is a coward, afraid to tell the whole truth.

This omission is significant. In a major report for our group, former KGB officer Konstantin Preobrazhensky noted, “The communists have considered Islam their ally from the very beginning, because in the early 20th century, Islam was the religion of the ‘oppressed people.’ Support of Islam was considered a part of Russian-based anti-colonialism.”

He said it was very significant that Vladimir Lenin in December 1917 addressed his second message, delivered just after coming to power, to the “Toiling Muslims of Russia and East,” and that the Bolshevik communists “considered Muslims a reservoir of people for the world communist revolution.”

This alliance continues. For proof, I recommend my eyewitness report on the communist-organized “Free Palestine” rally in Washington, D.C. on November 4, 2023.

For this reason, Trevor Loudon and I recorded a program on the rise of Mamdani, entitled, Red Jihad Comes to NYC.

In Politico, Greenfield acts like a political adviser to this Jihad Communist, writing that if Mamdani is “looking for some guidance about how to thrive in the city, he might look back about eight decades to the most successful socialist to ever hold office in New York: a man by the name of Vito Marcantonio.”

Greenfield maintains that Democratic Socialists (like Mamdani) are much different than Marcantonio, who was sympathetic to the totalitarianism of the Soviet Union and was in fact “a devoted follower of Moscow.”

Greenfield ignores the fact that Senator Bernie Sanders, also regarded as a Democratic Socialist, is known as “Bolshevik Bernie” because he spent his honeymoon in the old Soviet Union.  The name of Bernie Sanders appears on a list of speakers at the 10th anniversary conference of the Soviet front U.S. Peace Council, held in Boston, Massachusetts, November 10-12, 1989. Other names were Zehdi Terzi of the Palestine Liberation Organization and Gunther Dreifahl of the East German “Peace Council.”

No less a figure than Vladimir Putin declared that “the Democratic Party is traditionally closer to the so-called liberal values, closer to Social Democratic ideas, if compared to Europe,” and that “it was from the Social Democratic environment that the Communist Party evolved.”

Talking to his interviewer, a Russian reporter, Putin added, “…you are a young man, but people of my generation remember a time when huge portraits of Angela Davis, a member of the US Communist Party and an ardent fighter for the rights of African Americans, were on view around the Soviet Union.”

This is the same Angela Davis whose works were studied by Mamdani when he attended Bowdoin College, according to the book by Cindy C. Kenney. Davis recently received an honorary Doctorate in Letters from Cambridge University, the home of the Cambridge Five, a network of communist spies in Britain.

Of the Cambridge Five, the most damaging spies in British history, the only one who was not gay was Kim Philby.

Angela Davis, who received the Lenin Peace Prize, came out as a lesbian and vegan.

A leader of the DSA in the Washington, D.C./Maryland area is Kurt Stand, who was convicted of being a communist spy for the Soviet Union (and then Russia) and East Germany. He was sentenced to prison in 1998 and released in 2012 after being convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage, attempted espionage, and illegally obtaining national defense documents.

His wife was a member of the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism and was also convicted of spying for East Germany. The Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism was itself a spinoff of the Communist Party USA, once funded by the Soviet Union.

This is what the DSA is all about.

Greenfield said that if Mamdani is “looking for some guidance about how to thrive in the city, he might look back about eight decades to the most successful socialist to ever hold office in New York: a man by the name of Vito Marcantonio.” Greenfield acknowledges that Marcantonio was elected to Congress “despite holding views much farther to the left than anyone who has ever won public office in New York” but does not provide the full story.

My friend and associate, the late Herb Romerstein, wrote a major report, “From Henry Wallace to William Ayers – the Communist and ‘Progressive’ Movements,” which provides the important background about Marcantonio and explains how the communists worked with the “socialists.”

He noted that John Abt, a Communist Party attorney who had been active in the espionage apparatus, revealed the names of Communist members of Congress. In his autobiography, Abt said, “The two Communists who were elected to Congress-Johnny Bernard from Minnesota and Hugh DeLacy from Washington State were elected as Democrats. Vito] Marcantonio, who was a friend of the Party but never a member, was elected as a Republican, a Democrat, and as the ALP [American Labor Party] candidate. “

In its report to Moscow on its role in the 1940 elections, the Communist Party USA had said that “One of the most significant results of the Congressional elections was the fact that the Party played the main role in bringing about the re-election of Congressman Marcantonio,” who was also the head of the International Labor Defense, a communist front.

So when Greenfield implies that politicians “in the camp of democratic socialists,” like Mamdani, had “no sympathy for the totalitarianism of the Soviet Union,” he is ignoring how socialists and communists work together. He is also ignoring Mamdani’s identification as a Shia Muslim associated with the “Twelver” movement of apocalyptic Muslims that constitute the state religion of Iran, a regime working with Moscow’s backing to restart their nuclear weapons program.

“The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government – lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.” —Patrick Henry

Recently, I had on the Sons of Liberty Radio one of the best guests that I have had in some time. Her name is Sherronna Bishop, aka America’s Mom.  She is a constitutional conservative and patriot, who stood up to protect her children from harmful government policies.

She is one who tenaciously defends core values and founding principles that promote the greatest freedom possible.  She tirelessly researches issues of our culture and the Constitution, and has a passion to ensure that all people, starting with the individual, maintain the right to life, liberty, and personal property.

During this continuous assault on the Western way of life, she stands up and brings hope and inspiration to those who feel arrested by political correctness and false narratives of our time.

She is a mother of four, a grandmother to three little ones, and married to her husband of 26 years.  Sherronna had served as campaign manager for many local and national campaigns starting in 2019.  She also ran a successful business for 17 years in the private sector.

In 2021, Sherronna was hired as executive director for the Lindell Offense Fund, a multimillion-dollar nonprofit that raises money to fight for secure elections in the United States. She has served on many advisory boards, is a published author, and serves currently as a national advancement chair to Moms for America.

Because of her success in putting a stop to much of what has assailed the American family, as well as exposing voter fraud across the country (Revelation 12:17), the FBI was used to break into her house and hold her family at gunpoint for over 5 hours. Her story is below.

• Who controls a child’s upbringing, their parents or the schools?
• Do schools have the authority to teach material over the objections of the parents?
• Do parents have the right to opt their children out of objectionable content?

Earlier this year I wrote about the oral arguments before the Supreme Court in the case Mahmoud V. Taylor. The case had to do with a parent’s right to opt their children out of content in public school they found objectionable, and the Supreme Court was asked if the plaintiffs were entitled to a preliminary injunction preventing the school from teaching their children objectionable content until the court had decided the case. On June 27, 2025, the court published its decision.

Background

Before we get into the court’s decision, let’s look at what led to the case in the first place. If you are already familiar with the background, feel free to skip to the section What is Normal.

This case, however, arises from the Board’s abject refusal to heed widespread and impassioned pleas for accommodation. In the years leading up to 2022, the Board apparently “determined that the books used in its existing [English & Language Arts] curriculum were not representative of many students and families in Montgomery County because they did not include LGBTQ characters.” … The Board therefore decided to introduce into the curriculum what it described as “‘LGBTQ+-inclusive texts.’”… As one email sent by MCPS principals reflects, the Board selected the books according to a “Critical Selection Repertoire” that required selectors to review potential texts and ask questions such as: “Is heteronormativity reinforced or disrupted?”; “Is cisnormativity reinforced or disrupted?”; and “Are power hierarchies that uphold the dominant culture reinforced or disrupted?”

Mahmoud v. Taylor

So the MCPS board specifically sought books that were disruptive to “heteronormativity” and “cisnormativity.” These books were specifically targeted to young children.

At issue in this lawsuit are the five “LGBTQ+-inclusive” storybooks that are approved for students in Kindergarten through fifth grade—in other words, for children who are generally between 5 and 11 years old.

Mahmoud v. Taylor

The Board then launched these “LGBTQ+-inclusive” books into their schools.

The Board officially launched the “LGBTQ+-inclusive” texts into MCPS schools in the 2022–2023 school year. Shortly thereafter, parents “began contacting individual teachers, principals, or MCPS staff ” about the storybooks and asking that their children be excused from classroom instruction related to them. … Some parents showed up at the Board’s public business meetings to express their concerns about the storybooks’ content. In an early 2023 meeting, for example, one parent represented herself as “a voice for parents in [her] community, many of [whom] are actually working today and unable to attend.” … She said that MCPS parents were “frustrated” because, in their view, “educators and administrators are going behind what [parents] are teaching their kids at home, and pushing ideas of gender ideology on their kids.” … The parent felt that the Board was “implying to [children] that their religion, their belief system, and their family tradition is actually wrong.”

Mahmoud v. Taylor

The Boards decision to launch their “LGBTQ+-inclusive” initiative brought a quick response from parents. They were concerned that the school board seemed to be going behind parents’ backs to undermine both the parents’ religious beliefs and authority.

At the same Board meeting, one Board member responded by saying that “some of the testimony today was disturbing to me personally. Transgender, LGBTQ individuals are not an ideology, they are a reality. . . . [T]here are religions out there that teach that women should only achieve certain subservient roles in life, and MCPS would never think of not having a book in a classroom that showed a woman” in a professional role. … The Board’s student member agreed with the sentiment and proclaimed that “ignorance and hate does exist within our community, but please know that every student—each of our 160,000 students in our large county—has a place in the school system.”

Mahmoud v. Taylor

While the Board member’s statement about LGBTQ individuals existing is true, the student member’s statement is abjectly false, since students who believe in the traditional definition of marriage do not have a place in the school system under the MCPS Board as it is currently established. Based on facts I will explore shortly, it appears ignorance and hatred does exist in the MCPS community, but not from where the student board member claims.

At first, the Board seemed to respond reasonably to the parents objections.

Initially, the Board compromised with objecting parents by notifying them when the “LGBTQ+-inclusive” storybooks would be taught and permitting their children to be excused from instruction involving the books. That policy was consistent with the Board’s general “Guidelines for Respecting Religious Diversity,” which at the time provided that “[w]hen possible, schools should try to make reasonable and feasible adjustments to the instructional program to accommodate requests from students, or requests from parents/guardians on behalf of their students, to be excused from specific classroom discussions or activities that they believe would impose a substantial burden on their religious beliefs.”

Mahmoud v. Taylor

Sadly, it appears that the Board was not committed to this compromise.

This compromise, however, did not last long. In March 2023, less than a year after the “LGBTQ+-inclusive” texts were introduced, the Board issued a statement declaring that “[s]tudents and families may not choose to opt out of engaging” with the storybooks and that “teachers will not send home letters to inform families when inclusive books are read in the future.” …

Mahmoud v. Taylor

Why would the Board not only abandon this compromise, but do so this quickly?

According to one MCPS official, the Board decided to change its policy because, among other things, “individual principals and teachers could not accommodate the growing number of opt out requests without causing significant disruptions to the classroom environment.”

Mahmoud v. Taylor

To me, this should be a clue: If a large number of parents are opting out of this curriculum, perhaps the curriculum is inappropriate for the targeted students, 5 to 11 year olds. Instead, some principals and teachers first declared it was too hard for them, then claimed, “it was for the children”.

The official also stated that permitting some students to exit the classroom while the storybooks were being taught would expose other students “to social stigma and isolation.” … It was therefore announced that any existing accommodations would expire at the end of the 2022–2023 school year.

Mahmoud v. Taylor

Again, another clue. How does a parent not opting their child out of story time expose them to stigma and isolation? Unless of course, the number of parents opting out their child represented such a signficant percentage of the student population that those who were not included felt left out.

Shortly after the Board rescinded parental opt outs, more than 1,000 parents signed a petition asking the Board to restore opt out rights. … And hundreds of displeased parents, including many Muslim and Ethiopian Orthodox parents, appeared at the Board’s public meetings and implored the Board to allow opt outs. … At a May 2023 meeting, one community member testified that “thousands” of parents felt “deeply dismayed and betrayed” by the rescission of opt outs from “content that conflict[s] with their sincerely held religious beliefs.” … At the same meeting, an MCPS student testified and asked the Board “to allow students like me to opt out of content and books that contain sensitive and mature topics that go against my religious beliefs.”

Mahmoud v. Taylor

I guess there was a significant number of parents unhappy with the Board. Over 1,000 signed a petition asking that their opt out rights be restored. Which to me begs the question of whether these were considered rights in the first place? According to testimony, thousands of parents felt dismayed and betrayed by the Board. What was the Board’s reaction?

The Board was unmoved. After the testimony, several Board members and another MCPS official spoke up to “clarify” that the storybooks would not be used for explicit instruction on sexuality and gender, but rather as part of the “literacy curriculum.” … According to a later news article, one Board member recalled that “she felt ‘kind of sorry’” for the student who testified in favor of opt outs, “and wondered to what extent she may have been ‘parroting dogma’ learned from her parents.”. The Board member also expressed her view that “‘[i]f [parents] want their child to receive an education that strictly adheres to their religious dogma, they can send their kid to a private religious school.’” … The Board member went on to suggest that the objecting parents were comparable to “‘white supremacists’” who want to prevent their children from learning about civil rights and “‘xenophobes’” who object to “‘stories about immigrant families.’”

Mahmoud v. Taylor

As I said before, here is the evidence that “ignorance and hate does exist within our community.” However, it’s not from these parents, but from MCPS Board members. There’s more, because the Board in general, and this member in particular, show the arrogance of believing they are right and anyone who disagrees with them is not only wrong, but ignorant and potentially a danger to their children.

What is “Normal”?

In her dissent, joined by Justices Kagan and Jackson, Justice Sotomayor made a rather bold statement.

By the majority’s telling, the Montgomery County Public School Board (Board) has undertaken an intentional campaign to “impose upon children a set of values and beliefs that are ‘hostile’ to their parents’ religious” principles. … The Court draws on excerpts from Board documents and statements, shorn from context, …, that it claims reflect that intent. The full record reveals a starkly different reality.

Mahmoud v. Taylor

No, the full record clearly shows an intent by the Board to indoctrinate young children to accept LGBTQ lifestyles as “normal.”

The storybooks similarly convey a normative message on the subjects of sex and gender. Many Americans, like the parents in this case, believe that biological sex reflects divine creation, that sex and gender are inseparable, and that children should be encouraged to accept their sex and to live accordingly. The storybooks, however, suggest that it is hurtful, and perhaps even hateful, to hold the view that gender is inextricably bound with biological sex.

Mahmoud v. Taylor

That’s the claim, but is there any proof brought up in this case?

The Board suggested “that teachers incorporate the new texts into the curriculum in the same way that other books are used, namely, to put them on a shelf for students to find on their own; to recommend a book to a student who would enjoy it; to offer the books as an option for literature circles, book clubs, or paired reading groups; or to use them as a read aloud.” … And “[a]s with all curriculum resources,” the Board voiced its “expectation that teachers use the LGBTQ-Inclusive Books as part of instruction.” … An MCPS official has made clear that “[t]eachers cannot . . . elect not to use the LGBTQ-Inclusive Books at all.”

Mahmoud v. Taylor

While at first the books would only be available to student to find on their own, the Board expected teachers to recommend those books as an option for different activities that involved reading. However, according to one MCPS official, teachers could not choose not to use them at all. In other words, teachers had to use these books. But availability was not the only purpose the Board had.

The Board also contemplated that instruction involving the “LGBTQ+-inclusive” storybooks would include classroom discussion. … (Board’s lawyer: “there will be discussion that ensues. In fact, I think everyone would hope that discussion ensues”). In anticipation of such discussion, the Board hosted a “professional development workshop” in the summer of 2022, where it provided teachers with a guidance document suggesting how they might respond to student inquiries regarding the themes presented in the books. … For example, if a student asserts that two men cannot get married, the guidance document encouraged teachers to respond by saying: “When people are adults they can get married. Two men who love each other can decide they want to get married.” … If a student claims that a character “can’t be a boy if he was born a girl,” teachers were encouraged to respond: “That comment is hurtful.” … And if a student asks “[w]hat’s transgender?”, it was recommended that teachers explain: “When we’re born, people make a guess about our gender and label us ‘boy’ or ‘girl’ based on our body parts. Sometimes they’re right and sometimes they’re wrong.” … The guidance document encouraged teachers to “[d]isrupt the either/or thinking” of their students.

Mahmoud v. Taylor

So the Board expected these LGBTQ+-inclusive books to be included in classroom discussion all along, so much so that they hosted a workshop to provide guidance on how they were to be used. Just what was that guidance? That two men can get married, which is only true if you think the Supreme Court makes law. Even worse, the Board instructed teachers to lie to the students, that it’s hurtful to tell the truth if it contradicts the LGBTQ dogma, and that doctors “guess” about a baby’s gender at birth. The guidance document encouraged teachers to disrupt the student’s thinking. In other words, the Board clearly wanted to students to think that the truth is a lie and that aberrant behavior is normal, but it wasn’t just the students the Board was after.

At the same workshop, the Board also provided teachers with a guidance document that suggested particular responses to inquiries by parents. For example, if a parent were to ask whether the school was attempting to teach a child to “reject” the values taught at home, teachers were encouraged to respond that “[t]eaching about LGBTQ+ is not about making students think a certain way; it is to show that there is no one ‘right’ or ‘normal’ way to be.” … The guidance also urged teachers to assure parents that there would not be “explicit instruction” about gender and sexual identity, but that “there may be a need to define words that are new and unfamiliar to students,” and that “questions and conversations might organically happen.” … If parents were not comforted by that information, teachers could tell them that “[p]arents always have the choice to keep their student(s) home while using these texts; however, it will not be an excused absence.”

Mahmoud v. Taylor

So the Board instructed the teachers to tell parents they were not trying to teach the children to reject the values taught at home, but just that they were wrong. They weren’t going to use explicit language, unless the teacher thought it was necessary to teach a subject unfamiliar to students. And if the parents didn’t like the indoctrination, they could keep their children home, but it would be considered an unexcused absence, i.e. truancy. In other words, we don’t care that these parents pay taxes to fund the school, it’s the Board’s way or the highway, no other options.

Decision

Thankfully, a majority of the Court saw the lie in the MCPS Board’s position. Justice Alito wrote the opinion.

The parents are likely to succeed on their claim that the Board’s policies unconstitutionally burden their religious exercise. The Court has “long recognized the rights of parents to direct ‘the religious upbringing’ of their children.” … Those rights are violated by government policies that “substantially interfer[e] with the religious development” of children.

Mahmoud v. Taylor

So the court thinks the parents are likely to succeed in their case. (Remember, the court isn’t deciding the merits of the case, only the parent’s request for a preliminary injunction.) But why does the court think the parents will win?

The Board’s introduction of the “LGBTQ+-inclusive” storybooks, combined with its decision to withhold notice to parents and to forbid opt outs, substantially interferes with the religious development of petitioners’ children and imposes the kind of burden on religious exercise that Yoder found unacceptable. The books are unmistakably normative. They are designed to present certain values and beliefs as things to be celebrated, and certain contrary values and beliefs as things to be rejected.

Mahmoud v. Taylor

OK, the court thinks the parents have a good case. What about the defendants?

The Court does not accept the Board’s characterizations of the “LGBTQ+-inclusive” instruction as mere “exposure to objectionable ideas” or as lessons in “mutual respect.” The storybooks unmistakably convey a particular viewpoint about same-sex marriage and gender. And the Board has specifically encouraged teachers to reinforce this viewpoint and to reprimand any children who disagree. That goes beyond mere “exposure.”

Mahmoud v. Taylor

As I’ve already shown, the Board was not merely trying to expose children to these ideas, something the school doesn’t have the right to determine for the children. Rather, the Board encouraged teachers to reinforce a specific viewpoint and reprimand any child who disagrees.

What about the claim that parents can have their children taught somewhere else?

It is no answer that parents remain free to place their children in private school or to educate them at home. Public education is a public benefit, and the government cannot “condition” its “availability” on parents’ willingness to accept a burden on their religious exercise. … Moreover, given that education is compulsory in Maryland, the parents are not being asked simply to forgo a public benefit. They have an obligation—enforceable by fine or imprisonment—to send their children to public school unless they find an adequate substitute they can afford.

Mahmoud v. Taylor

So according to the State of Maryland, parents must have an adequate substitute for public school, but the MCPS thinks any parent can simply homeschool? It’s not just a question of the skills of the parent, but the time and money it takes to educate children, especially very young children, who were the target of this policy.

Sotomayor Dissent

I’ve noticed a couple of patterns among the recent decisions of the Supreme Court. First is how often Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson seem to dissent together. Second, how often they seem to just make up “facts” to make their point.

Public schools, this Court has said, are “‘at once the symbol of our democracy and the most pervasive means for promoting our common destiny.’”… They offer to children of all faith and backgrounds an education and an opportunity to practice living in our multicultural society. That experience is critical to our Nation’s civic vitality. Yet it will become a mere memory if children must be insulated from exposure to ideas and concepts that may conflict with their parents’ religious beliefs.

Today’s ruling ushers in that new reality. Casting aside longstanding precedent, the Court invents a constitutional right to avoid exposure to “subtle” themes “contrary to the religious principles” that parents wish to instill in their children.

Mahmoud v. Taylor

Yep, Justice Sotomayor, just ignore all of the facts of the case to promote your advocacy. First, I must point out, that the United States is not a democracy, but a constitutional republic. Next, I point Justice Sotomayor to her own dissent where in footnote 11 she wrote:

Petitioners conceded that they have no objection “to the books being on the shelf or available in the library.

Mahmoud v. Taylor

So if the parents did not object to the books being available in the library, how can Justice Sotomayor claim that the parents were concerned about mere exposure? She then takes that false accusation to claim the court has invented a new right for parents to control exposure to themes contrary to their religious principles. I guess she just ignored the point made in the opinion of the court that, “The Court has “long recognized the rights of parents to direct the religious upbringing’ of their children.”

The result will be chaos for this Nation’s public schools. Requiring schools to provide advance notice and the chance to opt out of every lesson plan or story time that might implicate a parent’s religious beliefs will impose impossible administrative burdens on schools. The harm will not be borne by educators alone: Children will suffer too. Classroom disruptions and absences may well inflict long-lasting harm on students’ learning and development.

Mahmoud v. Taylor

Perhaps if the MCPS Board had not ignored the concerns of parents and trampled their right to control the upbringing of their children, there wouldn’t have been so many opt-outs requested. If there is chaos for our public schools, it’s entirely of their own making.

Worse yet, the majority closes its eyes to the inevitable chilling effects of its ruling. Many school districts, and particularly the most resource strapped, cannot afford to engage in costly litigation over opt-out rights or to divert resources to tracking and managing student absences. Schools may instead censor their curricula, stripping material that risks generating religious objections. The Court’s ruling, in effect, thus hands a subset of parents the right to veto curricular choices long left to locally elected school boards. Because I cannot countenance the Court’s contortion of our precedent and the untold harms that will follow, I dissent.

Mahmoud v. Taylor

God forbid that schools see themselves as assisting parents in the education of their children, not controlling it. I’m not saying there would be no requests for opt-outs, but their voluminousness points to the schools indoctrinating our children rather than educating them. After all, parents only opt-out because they object to the content the school is teaching.

Today’s ruling threatens the very essence of public education. The Court, in effect, constitutionalizes a parental veto power over curricular choices long left to the democratic process and local administrators. That decision guts our free exercise precedent and strikes at the core premise of public schools: that children may come together to learn not the teachings of a particular faith, but a range of concepts and views that reflect our entire society. Exposure to new ideas has always been a vital part of that project, until now.

The reverberations of the Court’s error will be felt, I fear, for generations. Unable to condone that grave misjudgment, I dissent.

Mahmoud v. Taylor

What today’s decision threatens is the government’s monopoly on the education (indoctrination) of our children, the idea that the government gets to decide what they are taught and when, and the idea that government owns our children and merely allows us to feed and cloth them.

Look at what Justice Sotomayor fears about this decision: It “constitutionalizes a parental veto power over curricular choices long left to the democratic process and local administrators.” I hate to tell you this Justice Sotomayor, but the Constitution protects parents veto power over what curriculum the school can teach their children. The fact that a majority of people voted for the Board members who are pushing the LGBTQ agenda on children as young as five years old does not deprive parents of the right to control the upbringing of their children.

Conclusion

As the majority of the court has opined:

To begin, we hold that the parents are likely to succeed on their claim that the Board’s policies unconstitutionally burden their religious exercise.

Mahmoud v. Taylor

For that reason, the court held:

Held: Parents challenging the Board’s introduction of the “LGBTQ+-inclusive” storybooks, along with its decision to withhold opt outs, are entitled to a preliminary injunction.

Mahmoud v. Taylor

At least for now, the children in the MCPS will be protected from the sexualization and indoctrination the Board attempted to force on them over the objection of the parents. I pray that the court’s prediction comes true, and that this type of indoctrination is exposed for the evil it is.

August 5, 2025

In February 2025, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (the ‘master conspiracy theorist” according to the prostitute media) was confirmed as Secretary of Health and Human Services. His statement at link above.  Many millions were praying he would put a stop to the fake COVID-19 non-vaccines as there’s enough evidence about those injections to send a whole cabal of liars who knew those bioweapons were dangerous to a federal cage and never get out. But despite the horrific number of deaths and injuries, PSA (Public Service Announcements) are still running on radio:  Get the shot!

Let me do a flashback in case you missed it to demonstrate how big pharma lies and how anyone who dares question their dangerous products are treated.

February 23, 2025 my column:  Stop the Bird Flu Culling Madness

Must read so YOU know the Center for Disease Creation (CDC) and the FDA (Federal Death Administration) are nothing but liars and pimps for big pharma. Swine flu was considered a virus; H1N1:

The US Swine Flu Epidemic That Wasn’t, July 24, 2024 by Cheryl Attkisson Her original investigation was in 2009. (Emphasis mine)

“Instead of waiting, I decided to contact all 50 states and get the test results directly. About half of them provided the data promptly without issue. The other half balked and stalled, and I had to look at various state FOI laws, and remind the state health officials that they were required to produce the information. It was not theirs to withhold.

“First, I learned that officials in some states, including California, disagreed with the CDC’s directive to stop testing for swine flu. They did not want to be quoted by name for fear of “going against the CDC.” But they thought it was crucial to gather the most-hard data possible about a novel, unpredictable virus.

“Once I had the state’s data in hand, it was easy to see the big story: There was no swine flu pandemic—at least in the US!

“The people tested for swine flu or H1N1 prior to the CDC ordering a halt, were patients deemed most likely to have swine flu based on factors like recent travel to places that had a lot of swine flu at the time. Those specimens, my sources explained, should be nearly 100% swine flu if the CDC were correct in its assumptions about how widespread the virus was in the US.

“Yet the majority of specimens weren’t swine flu at all!

“I built a television news report giving the results of my investigation, had the story legally approved by my CBS lawyers, and it was set for air. A top executive at CBS News commented to me that it was the most original reporting on swine flu he’d seen done by any news organization!  But the story never aired on TV.” Rest at link.

Attkisson is one hell of an investigative reporter. But, big pharma owns most of CON-gress, too many state reps and senators and big media (a joke called mainstream).  The bottom line is Attisson uncovered a huge lie that hurt the swine industry and with the prostitute media using the big fear factor, Americans rushed to get a shot they never needed. The rotten, corrupt WHO (World Health Organization) declared a pandemic that was as phony as the COVID-19 hysteria that damn near paralyzed the world.

(Withdrawing The United States From The World Health Organization – The White House, Jan. 20, 2025.)

Jan. 6, 2025, mine:  Bird flu: Another Gain-of-Function Disaster?

“Current Bird Flu Outbreak is Man-Made – USDA Serial-Passage Gain-of-Function Research Extended Host Range to Migratory Waterfowl, Cattle, Sea Mammals, Jan. 2, 2025, Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH: “We have seen no human-to-human spread and there has never been a human US fatality due to H5N1.”

“From an expert researcher over the decades, Michael Snyder: “But another major global health crisis would make things so much worse.

“In recent weeks, so many of the usual suspects have been doing interviews in which they warn that a bird flu pandemic among humans has become inevitable. Do they know something that the rest of us do not?

“Already, we are starting to see public officials freak out. The state of California recently declared a state of emergency, and now it is being reported that Arizona has detected bird flu in the wastewater in the cities of Phoenix, Tempe and Surprise…

“Bird flu has been detected in wastewater in multiple metro Phoenix cities, county health officials confirmed Monday.

“Routine wastewater surveillance in Phoenix, Tempe and Surprise — the three cities in the county where monitoring occurs — confirmed the presence of avian influenza, according to a press release from the Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH).

“The influenza subtype, which includes bird flu as H5N1, has been detected in multiple locations in the Valley in the past couple of months.”

“Meanwhile, the bird flu continues to spread like wildfire among animals all over the nation.

“123 million birds, most of them chickens and turkeys, have already died in the United States alone.  And now a farm in Ohio that has nearly a million chickens has been infected…”

“Ohio agriculture officials are investigating after avian flu was detected in nearly one million chickens in Darke County.  The National Veterinary Services Laboratory confirmed Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza was detected in Darke County on Dec. 27, involving 931,302 chickens.”  (Did they hand count every chicken?  A million is a lot.  Maybe they do what the CDC does:  They only ESTIMATE the number of people who get the flu, pneumonia, the measles or COVID.)

I’ll tell you something else.  I live in W. Texas in what’s known as the Permian Basin.  While the ‘Bird Flu’ hysteria was pumped and dumped on the nightly snooze (that would be the propaganda machine called a TV and their “news” programs; I haven’t owned one in almost ten years), the cost of eggs here remained about the same as usual at the HEB where I usually shop.

Grass feed, free range chickens not being tortured and treated so inhumanely I want to throw up – 12 eggs ranged from $3.97 a dozen (store brand) to independent chicken farmers at a high of around $5.00. Besides this being big oil and natural gas country, we also enjoy a robust ag industry so people hit local farmers for their eggs. I purchased the 18 eggs box -free range grass fed chickens back then for about $6.70 and today about the same depending on the company; the highest I saw last week was $9.00.

The bottom line was there was no hysteria in this entire area.  It just depended on how the chickens were raised; big corporate chicken “farms” and the company.  I know it was a difficult time for ranchers but it was all a lie.

As with the so-called swine flu “epidemic”, farmers who’ve been raising chickens for generations tried to inform the public about this wholesale slaughter were censored – just like the truth about COVID and COVID-19 injections. (Front page devvy.com)

Another scam exposed: American Chicken Farmer says birds are NOT dying from “bird flu” like we’re being told Just like with Covid, they’re counting all deaths as bird flu, “Every time a bird dies, they say bird flu. I’m telling you, they’re bullshitting you.”  Feb. 22, 2025. Whatfinger, video embedded:  “Another scam exposed: American Chicken Farmer says birds are NOT dying from “bird flu” like we’re being told. Just like with Covid, they’re counting all deaths as bird flu, “Every time a bird dies, they say bird flu. I’m telling you, they’re bullsh*tting you.”

“I’m a chicken farmer and they are bullsh*tting you about the reasons why your eggs are so expensive.” “They say the same sh*t every year. I know it ’cause I’m a chicken farmer. I see the same alerts — When you look at these large facilities, a lot of these birds aren’t dying of bird flu. They are dying of neglect. They don’t give the vegan vitamins, oregano, all the supplements they are supposed to be getting — In these mega facilities and these birds are dying of disease and neglect and every time a bird dies, they say bird flu. I’m telling you, they’re bullsh*tting you. This would be why in the Mexico video I shared Mexico was not being impacted by the bird flu… it’s just another lie.”

The same shell game was pulled with COVID.  Every patient who allegedly had COVID was counted as COVID; hospitals were paid huge amounts of money.  I say allegedly because the testing being used was/is an even bigger lie.  Hundreds of well-researched articles on that but this one is particularly important:

The Fed and the Farmer, mine, May 7, 2005: “What is the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938? Another piece of Fascism passed under the traitorous FDR administration. What is Fascism? Strongly defined socialized government; when the government doesn’t own private enterprise companies, but controls all production. That’s exactly what occurred as a result of this act. Let me quite from U.S. v Alfonso Lopez, Jr. 514 US___, 131 L Ed 2d 626, 115 S Ct____, (No. 93-1260), the United States Supreme Court:

“…Roscoe Filburn operated a small farm in Ohio, on which, in the year involved, he raised 23 acres of wheat. It was his practice to sow winter wheat in the fall, and after harvesting it in July to sell a portion of the crop, to feed part of it to poultry and livestock on the farm, to use some in making flour for home consumption, and to keep the remainder for seeding future crops. The Secretary of Agriculture assessed a penalty against him under the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 because he harvested about 12 acres more wheat than his allotment under the Act permitted. The Act was designed to regulate the volume of wheat moving in interstate and foreign commerce in order to avoid surpluses and shortages, and concomitant fluctuation in wheat prices, which had previously obtained.”

“What a crock. This is Fascism, pure and simple. Our ranchers and farmers, in a supposedly free enterprise, capitalistic system, are harnessed and restrained by an unconstitutional act and the privately owned Federal Reserve is the silver bullet behind it. Farmers are told what they can and cannot grow and harvest, what they can and cannot sell, how much, when and at what price. This is how slaves are made. It means they are frozen in selling their product, which often is below their cost of production.

“Is it any wonder they cannot compete in the world markets and even here at home – especially when their own fellow country men and women won’t even support them but buy foreign? With this type of restriction, only the mighty who purchase the favors of members of Congress like the expensive prostitutes they are, and subsidized by legislation to the tune of billions, can continue to stay in business while today’s farming families that come from generations of family who farmed before them, are being driven under.

“This is the factual information I attempted to convey to the audience that night at the farm bureau dinner. As I was speaking, most of these men in the audience rudely kept talking and laughing with others at their table or looked at me with a smirk on their face. However, I continued to tell them why they were slated for extinction via the Agricultural Adjustment Act and the privately owned FED. They didn’t listen.”  Yes, Trump has been bull dozing along regarding tariffs and trade and I thank him for that. Maybe now all those men that night in the audience (1993 or 94…can’t remember.) finally realized I knew what I was talking about.

Critical Read: Great Myths of the Great Depression, by Lawrence Reed

But… Robert F. Kennedy Jr. endorses the MMR vaccine to fight measles, and his supporters aren’t happy: ‘You pushing vaccines is NOT what I voted for’”, April 8, 2025 – Well, Kennedy’s endorsement of the MMR vaccine as the most effective way to prevent measles didn’t go over too well.  Earlier this year here in W. Texas – particularly north of me, the media and medical “experts” claimed two sweet 18-month-old Mennonite twins died from measles.  The media blitz was unbelievable.

From the great Dr. Pierre Kory, MD, MPA, June 23, 2025 – Medical Record Review Of the Twins Who Died After Vaccination And A Review Of The Literature Proving SIDS Is Caused By Vaccines. A must read.

The bottom line is the USDA and Rollins heading up agriculture and HHS need to shed their ignorance, intellectual laziness and bureaucratic dependency if we’re going to “Make America Healthy Again”.  Kennedy disappointed a whole lot of Americans who are suffering from certain vaccines or have done the research.  Hopefully, Kennedy will do what he’s been doing for so long:  Helping children and put big pharma in their place.  The new AG Secretary Rollins needs to get going and save the promotion speeches.  She needs to sit down with President Trump with a whole list of strangling regulations and put a stop to the destruction of our ranchers, farmers and food supply.

By Kelleigh Nelson

August 4, 2025

Based on data from the National Academy of Sciences, current levels of fluoride exposure in drinking water may cause arthritis in a substantial portion of the population long before they reach old age. —Dr. Robert Carton, former EPA Scientist.

Fluorides are general protoplasmic poisons, probably because of their capacity to modify the metabolism of cells by changing the permeability of the cell membrane and by inhibiting certain enzyme systems. —Journal of the American Medical Association, Sept 18, 1943

Fluoridating the public water supply violates the fundamental right of citizens to health and a healthful environment. The risks associated with water fluoridation definitely far outweigh the supposed benefits. —Romeo Quijano, MD, Manila, Philippines

The best defense against propaganda is more propaganda.  —Edward Bernays, father of propaganda

“Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr. says fluoride is an industrial waste associated with arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders and thyroid disease.” He wants it removed from America’s water.

Groups like the Fluoride Action Network have been in court for nearly a decade after the EPA denied their petition against local water utilities adding in the waste product.  In September of 2024, the ruling by California District Court Judge Edward Chen, an appointee of former President Barack Hussein Obama, dealt a blow to public health groups in the growing debate about whether the benefits of continuing to add fluoride to the water supply outweighs its risks.

“In all, there is substantial and scientifically credible evidence establishing that fluoride poses a risk to human health; it is associated with a reduction in the IQ of children and is hazardous at dosages that are far too close to fluoride levels in the drinking water of the United States,” the judge wrote in his ruling.

Attorney General Pam Bondi and EPA Administrator, Lee Zeldin are working with the chemical association to appeal this ruling.  Pam Bondi was a registered lobbyist with the Washington, D.C.-based firm Ballard Partners and has represented wealthy special interests and foreign governments, including Qatar and a refrigerant company with ties to China.

While a direct link between Bondi and the chemical association specifically fighting fluoride removal isn’t clear, it’s worth noting that concerns have been raised in the past about Bondi’s decisions and potential influence from corporate interests during her time as Florida’s Attorney General.

Zeldin received consulting payments from a Qatari investor involved in the felony corruption case against former Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) During his confirmation process, Zeldin received strong support from major chemical industry lobbying groups, such as the American Chemistry Council (ACC).

In the movie, Conspiracy Theory, Mel Gibson says, “You know what they put in the water don’t you? Fluoride! Yeah, fluoride, on the pretext that it strengthens your teeth.  That’s ridiculous.  You know what this stuff does to you?  It actually weakens your will, takes away the capacity for free and creative thought, and makes you a slave to the state.”

It turns out that statement is factual and true.  The movie “Conspiracy Theory,” used several absolutely true statements about subjects most constitutionalists are aware of, in a way that “neutralized” the actual facts.  The above statement repeated shortly after the movie would be answered with, “Oh, that was in that Conspiracy movie, it’s not really true.”  This is a typical tactic of the corporate powers and the nanny state, and serves only to negate the truth.

What is sodium fluoride?

The so-called Bone Valley of central Florida contains some of the largest phosphate deposits in the world, which supply global agriculture with one of its most important commodities: synthetic fertilizer.

During the 1960s, complaints by farmers and ranchers of the highly toxic hydrogen fluoride and silicon tetrafluoride gases, which are by-products of fertilizer production, eventually forced reluctant manufacturers to invest in pollution abatement scrubbers that converted toxic vapors into fluorosilicic acid (FSA), a dangerous but more containable liquid waste.

The fluoride put in our toothpaste and water is an untreated industrial waste product, one that contains trace elements of arsenic and lead. Without the phosphate industry’s effluent, water fluoridation would be prohibitively expensive. And without fluoridation, the phosphate industry would be stuck with an expensive waste disposal problem.

This is the poison that AG Pam Bondi endorses!

Natural fluoride is a mineral found in water, soil, rocks, and some foods, that plays a crucial role in maintaining strong teeth and bones, although too much can cause fluorosis of the teeth. Natural fluoride is also in many fruits, seafoods and vegetables.

Sodium Fluoride

There is no such substance as “fluoride” listed in the periodic chart of elements, nor in the Merck Index.  Instead, a gas called fluorine is listed.  The use of this gas in various industries such as aluminum manufacturing and the nuclear industry create certain toxic byproducts which have “captured” fluorine molecules. Fluoride waste products are also derived from the industrial manufacture of zinc, uranium, aerosols, insecticides, fertilizers, plastics, lubricants and pharmaceuticals.  One such toxic, poisonous byproduct is called “sodium fluoride,” which according to the Merck Index is primarily used as rat and cockroach poison and is also the active ingredient in most toothpastes and as an additive to drinking water.

Fluorine is the most highly reactive, and chemically unstable of all existing chemical elements.  Fluorine is not found by itself in nature because it is so unstable that it chemically combines, violently in many cases, with practically any other element.   Fluorine has the strongest effect of all the halogens (bromine, chlorine, fluorine).  Halogens are the non-metallic elements.  Fluoride is one of the major ingredients in the controversial psycho-active psychiatric drug, Prozac, which is used so prevalently in the UK that it is now in the water and the filtration systems cannot remove it.  Sodium fluoride is also in the deadly Sarin military nerve gas, designated Isopropyl-methyl-phosphoryl fluoride.

Alcoa Aluminum in Alcoa, TN, is only about 20 minutes from where I live. Fluoride is used to make aluminum.  Our pups get their teeth brushed every night with a chicken flavored dog toothpaste that has no fluoride in it.  Why?  Because if the dogs swallowed fluoride on a daily basis as they do with the chicken flavored paste, it would kill them.  Occasionally, I had the veterinarian clean our dogs’ teeth while they were under anesthesia.  Thirty-five years ago, our vet asked if we wanted a fluoride treatment on their teeth while they were under.  I gave him a copy of Christopher Bryson’s The Fluoride Deception.

In discussing Alcoa Aluminum and their use of fluoride in the manufacture of aluminum products, the vet commented that he’d seen fluorosis in the teeth of cattle near Alcoa where the water is loaded with fluoride.  Fluorosis is an irreversible condition caused by excessive ingestion of fluoride during tooth and bone forming years which damages the enamel forming cells.  It also has destructive effects on the rest of the body.

At the time when sodium fluoride was first put in the water in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1945, there were no fluoridated products available commercially.  Crest introduced its fluoridated toothpaste in 1955, and Colgate added fluoride in 1967.  We now have so many fluoridated products, from our toothpaste to floss and mouthwash, which many choose to use topically. We should be asking, “Why do we need toxic chemical byproducts in our water and in all these products?”  Check your toothpaste tube, it says in bold, do not swallow.  Fluoride should not be ingested.

The question that begs to be asked, why would we think that it is okay to ingest fluoridated water, but not swallow toothpaste? Obviously, it isn’t.  There is absolutely no concrete proof that waste-product-fluoridation contributes to the dental health of American children.  Fifteen years ago, an Australian newscaster warned that sodium fluoride was poison.

Despite dental pressure, 99% of western continental Europe has rejected, banned, or stopped fluoridation due to environmental, health, legal or ethical concerns.  Only about 5% of the world population is fluoridated and more than 50% of these people live in North America.

Who does it benefit?

Sodium fluoride is quite expensive for the worlds’ chemical companies to dispose of, but in the 50s and 60s, Alcoa Aluminum and the entire aluminum industry (who had an overabundance of the toxic waste) somehow sold the FDA and our government on the insane and highly profitable idea of buying this poison at a 20,000% markup and injecting it into our water supply and dental rinses. Of course, much of the water goes down the drain, but we also bathe in it and it is absorbed by our skin.  The chemical industry and others have not only a free hazardous waste disposal system, but we also pay them handsomely with taxpayer dollars.

This is the poison that AG Pam Bondi endorses!

Professor Kaj Roholm, former Chief of the Toxicology Committee for the National Research Council classifies hydrofluorosilic acid and hexafluorosilic acid as “extremely toxic.” One chemical company selling fluoride to water suppliers describes it as “a colorless to straw yellow, transparent, fuming, corrosive liquid with a pungent odor and irritating action on the skin.”

Dr. Phyllis Mullenix

In 1995, Dr. Phyllis Mullenix published a very important work on the neurotoxic effects of fluoride in rat studies.  Dr. Mullenix earned her PhD in pharmacology from the University of Kansas in 1975. She then went to John Hopkins School of Public Health in Baltimore to Harvard, to the Forsythe Dental Center in Boston, first into the Department of Pharmacology and then in 1983, the first toxicology department in a dental research institution was established.  She was brought in to look at the environmental impact and the toxicity of products that are used by dentists and the dental community. And in particular they specifically mentioned fluoride, mercury, and nitrous oxide.

Her paper concerning the neurotoxicity of sodium fluoride in rats was published in the Neurotoxicology and Teratology journal, a peer reviewed journal in 1995.    The study basically found three things. First of all, sodium fluoride in the drinking water of young animals, showed that with time – meaning a period of weeks in a rat’s lifetime – they would develop changes in their behavioral patterns, and that pattern change was a hypoactivity pattern. They became slower, like “couch potatoes.”  It had a specific pattern to it which was strikingly similar to the pattern that she had seen in substances or drugs that they used to treat acute lymphocytic leukemia in children, which clinically cause IQ deficits. They also looked at fluoride levels in the brain an hour after IV injections, but Dr. Mullinex felt this did not mimic properly what the population of America was ingesting in their drinking water.  What they found after a test on the animals drinking fluoridated water was that there were major accumulations of fluoride in all the regions of the brain, and that some areas looked like there were greater accumulations than others, that were sex-determinant.

Harold Hodge was one of the founders of the Society of Toxicology. He was also one of the chief pharmacologists of the Manhattan Project, and in that Manhattan Project, he had done a lot of the studies on toxicology of fluorides, in looking at the adverse effects that you could expect from fluoride extending from the exposures to uranium hexafluoride.  Fluoride was used to make the atomic bomb.  Hodge talked about how weird it was during the Manhattan Project, how one scientist couldn’t talk to another scientist and go from one laboratory to the next.  But he never said anything to Dr. Mullinex that he knew fluoride would affect the central nervous system.

In 1996, after Dr. Hodge’s death, investigative reporters Joel Griffiths and Cliff Honicker, had various declassified documents, and of the documents in this whole series of papers was a request from Harold Hodge to the military, saying something to the effect that they wanted money to do studies to look at the effects of fluoride on the central nervous system in an animal model.  They specifically stated that they had evidence, clinical evidence, that fluoride would cause confusion, drowsiness, lassitude, and that they were afraid that workers who worked with uranium hexafluoride were going to become a danger, either to themselves or to other people who they were working with, if they should have their brains affected by fluoride. They thought that this was something that should be examined.  Hodge was also responsible for human radiation experiments.

This is the poison that AG Pam Bondi endorses!

Dr. Mullinex gave her speech regarding her research on fluoride to the National Institute of Health (NIH) in late 1990.  The FDA was there, the National Institute of Dental Health and others.  When she mentioned the results of her research on fluoride and the damage she saw, the audience attacked her with questions regarding her research methodology.  Eventually she lost her job because of what she exposed.  But then she exposed those who fought her and the results of her research.

In 1997, Dr. Mullenix was interviewed by Paul Connett.  The discussion was about fluoride and the brain.  Here is the transcription.

Many honest scientists have attempted to blow the whistle on sodium fluoride’s false propaganda campaign.  They have ended up being “blacklisted,” and their valid points disputing the vested interests of these mega corporations never get the press they deserve.  If one follows the money the “control” behind this is prominent American families.  The 1952 campaign to convince the public of fluoride’s benefits was rammed down our throats by the Public Health Departments and various dental organizations.  Sadly, sodium fluoride has now become usual and common and is even offered in dental offices as specialized treatments for “sensitive teeth” where the gums have receded.

Fluoride/Aluminum & Alzheimer’s

Independent scientific research evidence over the past 60-plus years has shown that sodium fluoride shortens our life span, promotes various cancers and mental disturbances, and makes humans stupid, docile, and subservient, all easily done in the drinking water of Americans.  There is also increasing evidence that aluminum in the brain is a causative factor in Alzheimer’s Disease, something we rarely saw with the epidemic proportions of today before the 50s.  Evidence points toward sodium fluoride’s strong affinity to “bond” with this dangerous aluminum. Remember it is a byproduct of aluminum manufacturing and also it has the ability to “trick” the blood-brain barrier by imitating hydrogen ion thus allowing this chemical access to brain tissue.

This is the poison that AG Pam Bondi endorses!

In 1992, American scientists, Robert Isaacson, Julie Varner, and Karl Jensen found that fluoridated water carried aluminum into rat brains, producing Alzheimer’s-like changes in brain tissue.  Phyllis Mullenix, who gave lab mice moderate doses of fluoride and generated symptoms resembling ADHD, fears that the high incidence of both diseases in the general population is direct evidence of fluoride’s toxic effects and that both the number and kind of such injuries may worsen in the coming years.

Fluorides are cumulative toxins. The fact that fluorides accumulate in the body is the reason that U.S. law requires the Surgeon General to set a Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for fluoride content in public water supplies as determined by the EPA. This requirement is specifically for the purpose of avoiding a condition known as Crippling Skeletal Fluorosis (CSF).

Arthritis, increased risk of hip fracture, Alzheimer’s, heart disease from fluoride concentrates in the arteries which attracts calcium and can contribute to their hardening, thyroid problems, Down’s Syndrome, breathing difficulties, reproduction problems, and other central-nervous-system disorders have all been linked by scientists to fluoride exposure.

AG Bondi and EPA Administrator Zeldin must drop EPA’s appeal in the decision against fluoride.  America’s health is in the crosshairs.

Sodium fluoride is rat poison; Pam. Remove it from America’s water.

August 4, 2025

It’s summer! Let’s go on some adventures!

Eudaimonia—“A Greek term often translated as “happiness” or “flourishing,” represents a state of living well and doing well, which is the ultimate goal in Aristotelian ethics. It’s not merely a fleeting feeling of pleasure, but rather a deep sense of well-being and purpose that comes from living a virtuous life, aligning actions with one’s true values and potential.”

Aristotle spoke about it being “a moment of happiness.” In Johnathan Living Seagull, Richard Bach wrote, “You will begin to touch heaven, Jonathan, in the moment that you touch perfect speed. And that isn’t flying a thousand miles an hour, or a million, or flying at the speed of light. Because any numbers is a limit, and perfection doesn’t have limits. Perfect speed, my son, is being there.” Buddha spoke about it as ‘Satori’ or that ‘instant of perfection.’ Those who smoke mind-altering drugs call it being ‘high.’ The Dali Lama said, “People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they’re not on your road doesn’t mean they’ve gotten lost.”

While riding my bike, eudaimonia strikes me at the most felicitous of times. It could be sunny, rainy, cold, hot, hilly or flat-as-a-pancake riding. Eudaimonia might strike during the spring, summer, fall or winter while riding my bike. For certain, it can hit you during your rides on your bicycle, or backpacking, or skiing, or rafting, or anything out in the wilds. How many “perfect moments” have you journaled in your own travels? What epic moments changed your life? What profound ideas sat on your shoulders while pedaling your bike? It’s a bet that you could write your own stories.

One time, while on tour around Lake Superior in the autumn, Doug and I wrote our colorful bicycle jerseys through the fall colors. We pedaled on the southern shore of the lake, which featured endless miles of red, crimson, pink, purple, lavender, topaz, green orange and stunning combinations in the underbrush. At one point, we stopped to take pictures. A couple of fishermen drove up in their pickup truck.

“What are you guys doin’?” the driver asked.

“We’re riding our bikes around Lake Superior for the next three weeks,” Doug said.

“On bikes?” The other guy said…“For me, no motor, no fun!”

“That goes for me, too,” the driver said. “You guys would be better off on motorcycles.”

“You know the old saying…different strokes for different folks,” said. Doug.

“Suit yourselves,” the driver said, before blasting away.

Once again, the woods quieted. The air stilled. The leaves rustled in the slight breeze. The sun shone down through the cornucopia of colors while a bluesy overdosed us. Through the myriad of maple, oak, poplar and spruce trees, the crystalline waters of Lake Superior shimmered with millions of diamonds. For us, the quietude served our spirits and calmed our souls.

At that moment, a hummingbird, mistaking my jersey for a flower, flew right to within 12 inches of my face. He looked at me as if he might find nectar from one of the flowers on my jersey. His wings beat at 72 times per second. He hovered for five seconds, eyeball-to-eyeball with me. Not seeing an opening of a flower, he gave his little motor chirp, and vanished as quickly as he appeared. The woods swallowed him into its grand scheme.

“Man,” I said to Doug. “Did you see that little guy?”

“Sure did,” Doug said. “Pure Magic! He thought you were a wildflower.”

“It doesn’t get any better than this,” I said. “As the man said, ‘no motor, no fun.’ Let’s try to do the best we can without motors.”

Another ride up to Splugen Pass in the Italian Alps, my friend Gary Hall, sat on his bike guzzling his water bottle. As he finished, a metallic-blue-winged butterfly landed on his finger. It sat there for 30 seconds, flapping its wings in a kind of dance. We both watched it in wonder as to why it hand landed on Gary’s finger. Seconds. Later, it flew up to his shoulder. Again, it sat there for 15 seconds. From Gary’s shoulder, it flew up the mountain and vanished into a field of wildflowers.

Another time, in fact, last summer, on Route 287 in Montana, as we started out in the morning, a golden eagle with an 8-foot wingspan. Leaped right out of the bush beside the road and flew at eye level not 20 feet in front of us. The rising sun caught his underbelly so brightly that we watch his muscles ripple as his wings beat. We watched the sheer energy of this magnificent flying miracle in action. Down the road that day, the image of his muscles working under his feathers and the sun bouncing off his body continued to amaze me. David and I talked about that moment for the rest of the day. And, we will take about it around the campfire to others in the coming years.

There’s some kind of ‘eudaimonia’ moment awaiting anyone on a bicycle, carry a backpack, scuba diving, windsurfing, and/or rafting through the wilderness. Any moment in the wilds can stun you with incredible “perfection.”

Some of those moments might dramatic such as the bear-moose event I lived through up in the Yukon Territory years ago. Others might be as serene as watching a beaver cross a pond on his way to his lodge at sunset. I will always remember that V-wake behind him as the sun sparkled off ripples he created on his journey home.

John. Muir said it best, “How many hearts with warm red blood in them are beating under cover of the woods, and how many teeth and eyes are shining? A multitude of animal people, intimately related to us, but of whose lives we know almost nothing, are as busy about their own affairs as we are about ours.”

Hopefully, you ride your bike into ‘eudaimonia’ moments that bring a smile to your soul, face or spirit. Each eudaimonia instant offers you creative engagement, emotional uplift and a sense of your common bond with all. Life on this planet. Let’s make the ‘Roaring Twenties’ of the 21st century a bicycle phenomenon for all people on Earth.

RPOF Acting Like “Zimbabwe Thugs”

I am SOOOOO happy to see others begin to understand DeSantis and his TallyTroopers for who they really are. As you know, I’ve been lambasting DeGov and his gang for their totalitarian moves for well over two years now.

If you’ve been following my substack, you understand. Many of you may well have thought I was exaggerating, or “had it out” for DeGov. No, I have it “ON” for saving this republic, and living in freedom.

Ron Desantis and his RPOF do not care for the Constitutional rights of their constituents. It is nauseatingly clear.

There is a party for those Marxist moves. It’s known as the Communist party.

I have no patience for those people, who pretend to be one thing and act, another.

The RPOF has finally blown their shabby-at-best cover with their latest attack on human liberties, as they tried to prohibit state Republicans from contact with Raj Dorisamy’s “Reclaim Campaign”. I think Raj, himself, was shocked by their actions.

This morning, on a Coastal Conservative News segment on TikTok, the Totalitarianism of the RPOF was compared to what happens to people who disagree with leadership in Zimbabwe. Click the link for the interview (2:07) and see below for the 2024 report on Zimbabwe from Human Rights Watch.

The similarities are absolutely uncanny!! Even though the Patriot Party won the last election, the resistance continues.

In the interview, one of the women talking with Raj, summed it up by saying that “only those who bend the knee, kiss the ring, and play the game” are allowed in Florida’s Republican Party!! Yes, good choice of words. She gets it.

The RPOF is still trying to hide who they are. In their latest letter to Dorisamy, they grouped the Reclaim Campaign with Planned Parenthood and the League of Women Voters! That is, with those who kill babies and help with election fraud. (see VOTESCAM, by the Collier Brothers for the history of LWV’s assistance there.)

Pooooor choice of comparisons, RPOF!

The 2024 Zimbabwe report from Human Rights Watch says that,

In 2024, Zimbabwean authorities acted to undermine democratic processes, repress civil society and restrict political pluralism. They continued to weaponize the criminal justice system.

Florida’s RPOF has acted to undermine the democratic process by remove duly elected officials from county offices. They have also repressed civil society by removing attendees from public meetings – using law enforcement – altered chosen agendas AND refused admittance to meetings which citizens wanted to attend; Roberts Rules of Order has been tossed completely out.

The RPOF has also weaponized the justice system, by taking to court their baseless issue of another group daring to use the elephant logo and “Republican” name. They cost a MAGA group a lot of money by doing so, hoping, I’d imagine, to slow or stop their forward progress.

In 2023, DeGov and his entourage went to Japan, South Korea and Israel, as he tried to warm up his DOA presidential campaign. I checked to see if they’d gone to see Zimbabwe, where . . . loss of rights has been blamed on the Patriot Front (ZAMUPF). Business tycoon, Kudakwashe Tagweiri, is leading the attacks against the patriots,. It is said that Tagweiri is “buying his way up the party ladder.”

Enough of this uncanny similarity. You get the picture, and I don’t want to stretch it.

DeSantis’s RPOF is now, and has been since he was re-elected in 2022, going after America First/MAGA Republicans. Fact.

Is there a sane Constitutional mind left in Tallahassee?? If so, they are certainly not being heard. Any who allow this Globalist totalitarianism to continue in Florida – when they are in a position to speak against it – do NOT belong in Florida government!

Neither, of course, do Communists, who believe they can take away our rights.

DeSmallman just completed a quick set of appearances , saying he cares about property taxes and expenditures – IN THE COUNTIES HE CONSIDERS PRIME ENEMIES: Manatee (America First), Alachua (D) and Brevard (D). He’s sending out the FLDOGE troops. He wants folks to think he is watching over their money, AND, at this stage of the upcoming election game, he wants everyone to think lovely Casey does, too. We know him too well to be fooled. This was one of his “dog and phoney” shows.

Right now, Ron is running a pre-campaign tour for Casey, in case she runs for Governor in 2026. He also thinks he is positioning himself for another run at the White House. Yeah.

Bringing back Obama in the next election would be no worse. At least the world is beginning to know him for what he is. DeSantis still catches the ear of the uninformed with his pretense.

This country – and its media need to be better acquainted with the REAL RON DE SANTIS. I venture to say that anyone with that name is not a good candidate for future state or national leadership in the near future.

What DeGov is doing to America First activists and all who support them is not a “good look” for a POTUS hopeful.

CITIZENS ARE LEADING THE WAY TO BRING AN END TO THIS, AND TO SHINE THE LIGHT ON THIS DARK PARTY ORGANIZATION. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO SAVE YOUR FREEDOM!

This is a message not only for the victims of Florida’s RPOF, but also for Freedom-lovers in every other state. There is darkness in many places. Washington, Oregon, California, New York, Colorado, Michigan come to mind; some are worse than others, and a few on this list may be unable to be altered, certainly before the next election. But, do your best, America! Foul their efforts whenever and wherever possible.

In Florida, you can join the citizens who have organized to make a difference. Supporting election integrity, with groups like The-peoples-audit.org, or ReclaimCampaign.com is a good, direct route to ridding Florida of this mess. UltraMAGApatriots.com are doing great work on shining the light on the dark money of PACS. Help any or all of these citizens’ groups if you at are able.

Local action is the ONLY action that can be effective. But I repeat myself. And will continue.

I promise to continue to spread the facts.

August 3, 2025

I’m starting today in Psalm 2, verses 1 through 5.  “Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?  The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against His anointed, saying, ‘Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.’  He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.  Then shall He speak unto them in His wrath, and vex them in His sore displeasure.”

As Solomon once noted, “there is nothing new under the sun.”  Still today, the heathen RAGE.  In fact, they are raging more intensely than I’ve ever witnessed in my entire life, and it’s growing worse every day.   And the people IMAGINE many vain things.  Note here that the HEATHEN rage, and the PEOPLE imagine a vain thing.  Who are the “heathen?”  Obviously, this speaks of the ungodly — the God-haters.  And who are the “people?”  I believe this refers to those who consider themselves God’s people, those who honor Him with their lips, but whose hearts are far from Him.

Some time ago, I spoke about the word “Imagine,” the root word of which is “Image.”  When we IMAGINE, with our own simple human minds, we create an image in our minds, and it should be noted that all sin flows from the heart and then begins in the mind.  This is why Paul told the Corinthians that we are to “CAST DOWN imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.”  In other words, when those thoughts that are contrary to God’s will enter our minds, we are to take them captive — and make the conscious decision to turn away and choose instead to follow the commands of Christ.  Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

The problem with the wild imaginations of the heathen is that instead of taking every thought captive to Christ, they break the second commandment, essentially creating for themselves “graven images,” “engraved,” if you will, in their minds.  They are SO ENGRAVED, in fact, that they form their worldviews, and now today, even their perceived personal identities.  Thus we have people “identifying” as “transgender,” for example.

They have IMAGINED vain things, created false gods and ideologies which they now worship, instead of God; believing lies instead of truth.  Identifying as “homosexual” or “transgender” or “pro-choice” or “democrat” or “republican” IS their god.  As the Scripture says, “they take counsel together,” UNITED against the Lord and His anointed, saying, “Let us break their bands asunder and cast away their cords from us.”  This is the demonic theology of secular humanism and “moral relativism.”  “If it feels good, do it.”  “What might be right for you may not be right for me.”  “That’s fine if that’s what YOU believe, but it’s not what I believe, and that’s fine.”   There is no moral compass, no absolute truth.

But this is all vanity.  The “heathen” RAGE, while the “people”  IMAGINE a VAIN thing.    Have you noticed the utter impotence of the Establishment, Institutional “churches?”  While the heathen rage, the church people, with no courageous, Godly shepherds to lead, teach and train them up, are left to their own devices, and because they are biblically illiterate, they imagine vain things.

And what IS a “vain thing?”    According to the dictionary, “vain” or “vanity” means: “excessively proud of or concerned about one’s own appearance, qualities, achivements, etc.”  And “PRIDE in, or concern about one’s appearance or qualities.”  And “vain” and “vanity” have other, equally important definitions as well, including: “ineffectual or unsuccessful, …futile.”  And “without real significance, value or importance;  baseless or worthless.”

Salt that has lost its savor, good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled on by men… those heathen that rage against God and against His anointed are prideful, narcissistic, self- centered, “entitled,” and the ideologies they IMAGINE are ineffectual, unsuccessful, futile, baseless and worthless.  And today, we have more “church people” than ever, being wooed along just the same as the God-haters, and they are embracing the same vain imaginations.

Today, vain, evil and useless ideologies have taken root, setting themselves against God and His anointed… and the church people are going along with it.  The kings and rulers of the earth take counsel together, against the Lord.  The “powers that be” behind the social revolution taking place mysteriously behind the scenes are part of this too.  And they all believe they can “break the bands of the Lord and His anointed asunder and cast away their cords.”  Not gonna happen.  Because their rage is in vain.  Yet they still continue to rage.  Because it’s all they know.

Recently, I spoke on the topic of “hypocrisy.”  I talked about the origin of the word “Hypocrite,” and explained that the literal definition of “hypocrite” is “an actor or performer.”  I gave several examples of the hypocrisy of our Hollywood heroes — actors, entertainers, performers — those who are the primary players in the forming of the worldviews of our young people.  Indeed, it seems, ALL the people, young and old, God-haters and “church people” alike, take their cues from cultural trends.  Those trends are molded and set by celebrities, performers and entertainers, and their fervent advocates among leaders in government, the mainstream press, and the public educational systems.  They are all working hand-in-hand, setting themselves against the Lord.

It’s not my intention to propogate a “conspiracy theory” here.  But it’s not a conspiracy theory if it’s true.  I believe that God recently opened my eyes and revealed something to me that is very important and very real.  It explains why so many of our young people — and even so many of our adults — are turning their backs on God and choosing to embrace lies.

First, let me go back to the words of Moses in Deuteronomy 11.  He said:  “Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.  Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you rise up.  Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates…”  Moses was speaking here of God’s Commandments.  He went on to say, “See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse…the blessing if you obey the commands of the Lord your God…the curse if you disobey the commands of the Lord your God and turn from the way that I command you by following other gods, which you have not known.”

As always, God gives us the freewill to choose.  The “bands” that the godless want to break asunder and the “cords” they desire to cast away are the commands of God.  As fools, we can certainly choose to DO that;  but the result is a curse on our house, our children, and our children’s children.  In other words, exactly what we are seeing taking place in our world today.

For those pulling the strings and orchestrating all this behind the scenes — yes, CONSPIRING together, to create a new one-world, godless Utopia — it has been a long, slow process.  But it has now come to fruition, and the “curse” that God said would come is here:  depraved minds, seared consciences, the love of many grown cold, as God has “given us over” to suffer the consequences of the choices we have made.

Here is how this demonic plan, put into motion many years ago, has played out:  In June of 1962, the United States Supreme Court decided that prayer in public schools violated the First Amendment because it constituted the establishment of religion.  So even though, from the foundation of this nation, prayer before the school day began was the standard of a respectful and reverent student body, it suddenly became “illegal” and forbidden.

A year later, the Supreme Court forbid public school students from reading their Bibles.  Even though all of our nation’s schools and colleges were not only founded on biblical principles, but the Bible was the standard textbook from which many students learned to read and the Book from which they gained their moral compass, the simple decision of a few men rendered it, too, forbidden.

Ten years later, the Supreme Court decided the murder of unborn babies would now become “legal.”  There were many other Supreme Court decisions along the way that seemingly became the “law of the land,” even though the Supreme Court has NO authority to make laws.  Yet we quietly acquiesced to each one.

Then in 2015, another landmark, as the Supreme Court DECIDED it was now the “law of the land” that men may marry men and women may marry women, and anyone who opposed this was labeled a “hater.”  “Love wins” was the smug, spiteful response of the deranged sodomites.  Meanwhile, the church people simply rolled over and continued to sleep, just as they have since 1962.

Today, our Creator has been thrown out of public education entirely, as our Godly heritage and history is sandblasted from public view.  One may not even speak the name of Jesus, unless it is used in it’s accepted context — as a CURSE WORD — without incurring the wrath of the State.  Today, our children are indoctrinated with the demonically delusional “science” of evolution from the youngest of ages, and the sodomites cannot get their hands on our children early enough — “the earlier the better,” they say, hoping to normalize this perversion even among pre-schoolers.  By the time your children endure pre-school, kindergarten, 12 years of public school and four years of college, they’re completely brainwashed and you no longer even recognize them — even if, and sometimes ESPECIALLY if, you took them to church and Sunday School every week.

Their minds have also been poisoned with entertainment and social media.  As parents, we allowed them to watch what we considered “wholesome” television.  The cute little girl, Lindsay Lohan, was adorable.  Preteen daughters grew up with her, had posters of her in their bedrooms.  Then there was Hannah Montanta, whose real name is Miley Cyrus.  And of course, all the kids watched the entertaining “Bill Nye the Science Guy.”  They grew up watching these people and became “hooked.”  These were their childhood heroes, and parents considered it good, wholesome entertainment.

But as our kids came of age, so did these actors…. and our kids continued to follow and emulate them.  Lindsay Lohan, Miley Cyrus, all those “boy bands” the Moms thought were so cute…  all became sexualized and depraved in high definition living color, and our kids followed along.  Now, “Bill Nye the Science Guy” has a new program targeted to adults called “Bill Nye Saves the World.”  But this is no savior.  This man, who our children adored as toddlers and pre-teens, now has one of the most perverse television programs out there, extolling the “virtues” of sodomy, still railing against God and Creation, and selling the most dangerous lies possible as scientific truth.  And who is he talking to now?  The SAME kids — only now, they’re in college.  Is it any wonder our colleges no longer tolerate diversity of ideas, and they RIOT if a conservative speaker has an opinion?  Is it any wonder many of our college students now need “safe spaces” with Play Doh, coloring books and free condoms?

“Hook em while they’re young,” they say.  And so they have.  And thus, we no longer recognize most of our children today.  Their minds were captured when they were just babes, and we let it happen, because we were too blind to see what was really going on.  We practiced our vain form of religion faithfully once a week, thinking “our church isn’t like those others, our church is ‘good,’  — and it has a GOOD ‘youth group.’”  All the while sending our kids to public school indoctrination centers every day, thinking “our school isn’t like those others — our school is good.”

Mere frogs in the pot as the water temperature rose, and we, as the church, enjoyed the warm, comfortable bath water, until we found ourselves boiled.  It’s our own fault, my friends.  We let this happen.  We did not fix God’s Word in our OWN hearts and minds; we certainly didn’t tie them as symbols on our hands or bind them on our foreheads.  We didn’t teach God’s commandments to our children, talking about them when we sat at home and when we walked along the road, when we went to bed and rose up.  We didn’t write them on the doorframes of our houses or on our gates…  No.  We left all THAT up to the youth group and the church.  We had before us a choice of blessing and cursing, and we chose the curse.  We let our children be led by the hypocrites of the entertainment world and vain religion, and we ourselves forgot God.  Today, as we see our children’s lives and our world self destruct, the Lord speaks to us in His wrath and we are “VEXED in His sore displeasure.”  Why on earth would we expect any other outcome?

There IS hope, but you MUST take this seriously now.  TURN BACK, people!  Remember God, and if we seek Him in true sorrowful repentance, He will hear from heaven and have mercy on us.  He IS merciful and gracious and full of love for those who truly seek Him.  But time is short.  RIGHT NOW is your time of decision.  Hear me:  RIGHT NOW IS YOUR TIME OF DECISION!  Tomorrow you may step into eternity.  He has set before us blessing and cursing.  It’s OUR choice.

Introduction: The Renewable Energy Illusion

Wind turbines and solar panels are incapable of making any of the products or transportation fuels demanded by the 8 billion on this planet.

Around the world, there is a growing belief that renewable electricity, especially that generated by wind and solar—can lead us to a fully decarbonized future. While this vision is noble and reflects the urgent desire to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it often overlooks the significant limitations of these sources. Wind and solar are inherently intermittent and weather-dependent, and they lack the consistency needed to power a complex, industrialized world over long periods and in all conditions.

Modern society depends on continuous, reliable electricity not only for lighting and appliances but also for transportation, industrial production, communication, and the maintenance of public health systems. From the cooling of vaccines and surgical procedures to the operation of telecommunications networks, the constant availability of power is essential. Wind and solar simply cannot fulfill all these roles without substantial backup from other electricity generating sources, primarily coal, natural gas, or nuclear power. Even in regions rich in wind or solar potential, seasonal variations and extended calm or cloudy periods create substantial supply vulnerabilities.

Electricity, while vital, is only one component of our vast energy ecosystem that includes transportation fuels, products, and electricity. Fossil fuels do far more than power homes—they are the foundational input for countless products and infrastructure systems. From the fuels that power our cars and planes to the plastics used in hospitals and data centers, hydrocarbons remain deeply embedded in the global economy. Industrial processes, such as steel production, cement manufacturing, and petrochemical refining, all rely on fossil fuels not only for electricity but also as feedstocks of the products made from oil derivatives manufactured from raw crude oil. Ignoring this complexity in favor of simplistic narratives undermines our ability to build practical, balanced electricity strategies for the future. It also risks creating policies that disrupt critical sectors, jeopardize economic growth, and overlook the needs of poorer developing regions still struggling with access to electricity.

What Fossil Fuels Provide

Fossil fuels are the backbone of modern life. Over 6,000 essential products—from medical tools and electronics to fertilizers and plastics—are derived from petroleum. These include everyday items such as clothing, packaging, synthetic rubber, detergents, cosmetics, and even medications. Without fossil fuels, modern healthcare, sanitation, and transportation systems would cease to function effectively.

Global transportation, including over a billion vehicles and tens of thousands of aircraft and ships, relies on oil-based transportation fuels made from crude oil. These fuels are energy-dense, portable, and economically efficient—qualities that current renewable technologies cannot match. Replacing them with alternatives would require new materials not yet available in the required volumes.

Hospitals, agriculture, and digital infrastructure also depend on fossil fuel-based products and electricity. Operating rooms require sterile plastic instruments. Farms rely on diesel-powered machinery and nitrogen-based fertilizers derived from natural gas. Data centers, which power the digital economy, require continuous energy and equipment built with fossil-fuel-derived components. These uses cannot be easily or economically replaced, especially in developing regions still building foundational infrastructure.

Limits of Wind and Solar

Wind and solar depend on weather and daylight. They can’t produce base-load power consistently and need fossil fuel or nuclear generated electricity as backup. Even when the sun shines and the wind blows, electricity storage becomes essential for nighttime or cloudy days and still air. Unfortunately, large-scale battery systems are expensive, environmentally challenging to produce, and limited in capacity.

The infrastructure supporting wind and solar—turbines, panels, batteries—relies on mining, manufacturing, and transport powered by oil and gas. Materials such as rare earth elements, copper, steel, and aluminum must be extracted, refined, and delivered—tasks currently dependent on the products and transportation fuels from fossil fuels. The environmental footprint of this entire supply chain must be factored into any honest assessment of renewables.

Electric vehicles may reduce emissions at the tailpipe but still rely on fossil fuels for manufacturing, electricity, and maintenance. Battery production is electricity-intensive and involves supply chains often associated with poor labor practices and ecological disruption. Battery storage remains costly and inadequate for large-scale needs, especially in cold climates or during extended periods of low renewable output. Meanwhile, the electricity used to charge EVs is often still generated by fossil fuels.

The Risk of Rushed Net Zero Goals

Eliminating fossil fuels without practical alternatives risks societal regression. Billions depend on hydrocarbons for basic development. In many parts of the world, fossil fuels are still the most accessible and affordable source of electricity for cooking, heating, and transportation. Removing that access too quickly could worsen poverty and health outcomes.

Europe’s electricity crises show the dangers of overdependence on renewables and geopolitical instability. Several countries that phased out fossil fuels prematurely had to restart coal-fired power plants to avoid blackouts. The global scramble for LNG further demonstrates the fragility of current energy systems and the unintended consequences of rapid decarbonization.

Investment policies that shun fossil fuels often cause underinvestment in electricity infrastructure, raising the risk of shortages and economic instability. Divestment campaigns may satisfy political goals but rarely consider technical feasibility. A more balanced approach is needed—one that combines emissions reduction with electricity security and technological realism.

Why Energy Literacy Matters

Understanding how energy systems work is key to smart decisions. Fossil fuels are not just fuels—they’re essential inputs for modern economies. Renewables alone can’t replace them. Without public awareness of these realities, policies risk being shaped by ideology rather than practicality.

True sustainability requires thoughtful transitions: cleaner fossil fuel tech, responsible renewable growth, and potentially nuclear electricity. Innovations such as carbon capture, hydrogen fuels, and advanced geothermal could play roles. But no single solution can carry the burden alone—diversity and adaptability are essential.

Educated citizens are better equipped to evaluate trade-offs and support resilient electricity policy. Schools, media, and civic groups should promote energy literacy to enable informed dialogue. Public understanding is the foundation of democratic accountability in electricity decisions.

Conclusion

Wind and solar are valuable but not sufficient. Removing fossil fuels without alternatives would undo progress. A pragmatic, informed approach is vital for a stable and equitable electrical future.

Let’s foster energy literacy at all levels of society, i.e., the difference between transportation fuels, products, and electricity, it’s essential for making choices that safeguard both prosperity and the planet.

Please share this information with teachers, students, and friends to encourage Energy Literacy conversations at the family dinner table.

August 2, 2025

You are a poor minority living in a government housing project called “Affordable.” It’s all paid for by the tax dollars of mostly middle-income Americans. Included are still more government programs that are providing monthly checks and coupons to supply food, free healthcare, free education, and let’s also throw in free cell phones.

Does that not make us a generous nation? Are not the poor well cared for and satisfied? Aren’t the taxpayers proud of their contribution to the common good? The answer to every one of these questions is NO!

First, consider these facts about that stipend income from the welfare check. Originally, it was called “assistance” and the purpose was to help out when the paycheck wasn’t quite covering needs during difficult times. Over time the system changed from “assistance” to “Government Benefit.” Now it’s an entire system of total dependence. While promises to help provide job training and even some actual jobs exist, few actually provide enough income or security to allow recipients to leave the program. In addition, if a recipient even tries to put some of that money away in savings, as an attempt to provide for an emergency, it is confiscated and possibly the welfare check stops all together. It’s no longer “assistance” during hard times. Now it’s control.

Then there is that public housing situation. Here’s what it’s like to actually live in those government projects. In many cities the neighborhoods are drastically rundown in disrepair as lights, air conditioning, and appliances fail to work. The roof leaks, windows are broken, and the plumbing backs up. Trash around the grounds is in ever-growing piles, and is rarely, if ever cleaned and hauled away. Don’t even think about any kind of yard work to create a place for the children to play. Worse, the residents live in fear of gang elements like MS-13 that have taken over the neighborhoods to rule as their territory. Pimps, pedophiles, and drug dealers prey on the children. And no matter how many times residents may ask for repairs, it never happens.

Why are the conditions so bad in this government-controlled housing? Government is a monopoly that has no incentive to be efficient. The taxpayers are forced to pay and the money rolls in so the politicians can puff out their chests over how generous THEY are in helping the less fortunate. Meanwhile, the management of these properties is overseen by government bureaucrats with no personal stake in the projects. Their paychecks keep rolling in, no matter what happens to the properties they manage.

In such an atmosphere, the inherent hopelessness leaves little room for making future goals for their lives. There is rarely a way out once the system has a hold on you. By herding minorities and low-income families like cattle into these tenements, the government is committing them to a future worse than poverty. They have lost their rights, their choices, and their ability to excel through self-determination and personal growth.

Yet, proponents of government’s fair housing want you to think that those favoring the programs are the compassionate ones, helping minorities to survive in an oppressive capitalist world of the rich. Essentially fear is the common tactic used to keep minorities under government control. Anyone who opposes the system and promotes sound economics and a system of equal opportunity, is accused of heartlessness and racism, determined to pull the plug on the welfare lifeline.

To promote the fear and division, politicians, the news media, and the public education system continually drive home the message that our nation’s founders created an oppressive society in which Whites get all the goodies and minorities are deliberately oppressed. In addition, goes their propaganda, the free enterprise system is designed to take the money from the poor and put it in the rich man’s pocket. And so, the result is strife, jealousy, and hatred between the races. Meanwhile, the middle class actually funds most of it from their weekly paychecks, purchases, and property taxes.

The true purpose is to move forward to impose the agenda now powered by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and others driving to change our culture and system of representative government toward their goal of global governance.

This, then, is the determined mission of today’s radical Leftist movement now in control of the Democrat Party They are driving to be seen as the saviors of the oppressed. Government oversight, redistribution of wealth, and social justice are the chosen tools to enforce this false equality. Yet, the only true result has been the massive growth of poverty.

Now these forces are moving to expand their tactics by pushing the failed government housing model into your neighborhood. The new drive is to eliminate single-family home zoning protection. Our new controllers insist that such policy is really designed as a means for wealthy homeowners to “self-segregate” themselves from those they don’t want living in their neighborhoods. Specifically, they charge that private property ownership is racist. To establish true “FREEDOM” in America, they tell us we need to open these “white privilege neighborhoods” to allow federal fair housing programs, including high rise government rental units in every neighborhood. They claim single family home neighborhoods contribute to a growing housing shortage. So goes their argument: “we could put ten families in the area where only one now lives in those neighborhoods. It’s only fair!”

Baltimore, Maryland became one of the first cities to feel such pressure and threats as the NAACP sued Baltimore over alleged housing segregation. The NAACP argument was that Section 8 subsidized housing programs “bunch people together, and that it only fuels more crime and other problems.” Not fair! The solution, says the NAACP, is to “integrate the poor among wealthier families.” Outrageous as it sounds, such social justice mongers actually claim this will help increase the income opportunities for the poor when they begin to live in those affluent neighborhoods.

The pressure from these groups, has resulted in Baltimore being forced to agree to spend $30 million of tax-payer dollars over the next ten years to build 1,000 low-income homes in affluent neighborhoods.

The result will be a destruction of property values and the loss of equity for the homeowners. In short, destruction of earned wealth leading to destruction of the middle class creating even more poor. It’s a growth product. Meanwhile, massively powerful corporations like Blackrock will move into the neighborhoods and buy that property at a massively reduced cost. They will then build the apartments and public housing, earning a fortune.

In Portland, Oregon, the infamous “poster child” of federal Smart Growth development policies, the city council unanimously approved a new tax to raise $12 million per year to pay for “affordable housing.”

Said Portland Commissioner Dan Saltsman, “The lack of affordable housing is the greatest crisis facing our city right now.” Perhaps he should take a long look at the twenty-year Smart Growth history of Portland in which massive amounts of land was locked away to limit the “sprawl” of the city. This led to land shortages, which led to bans on single-family homes, which led to the need for massive high-rise apartment buildings, all of which led to higher costs and shortages of homes. Now, Portland has a “crisis “over a shortage of “affordable” housing. Their solution is another tax on construction, driving up housing costs even more.

These same attacks on private property are growing across the nation. Landlords of privately-owned apartments are being labeled the new boogey men of our day. They now must deal with more taxes, rules, regulations, and even a ban on their ability to determine if potential renters can afford to live in the building. Such policy is the destruction of private property rights, targeting an entire industry.

Of course, the government argues that denying people who can’t afford to pay the rent to live in your property is “discrimination by right-wing capitalism.” Anyone with a small amount of rational thought would logically ask how the landlord could survive and provide his property for housing if the tenant can’t pay? The only result will be fewer landlords and fewer choices for housing. Housing shortage, indeed!

All of these policies, instituted in the name of social justice and redistribution of wealth, will very quickly lead to one final solution. Private homes, privately owned rental properties, and the individual owner’s ability to prosper, will disappear. That means the rule of law is dismissed in favor of “fairness.” Social Justice is purely based on redistribution of wealth. Your wealth. That’s money you worked for, saved, invested, and protected for YOUR needs; YOUR dreams; YOUR future.

Eventually – and very soon – the only source of housing will be from government. Take a good look at the destroyed neighborhoods now under government control and see your future. Property rights and personal ownership are equal opportunities for everyone to build wealth and freedom. It’s how the United States quickly became so prosperous in its beginning.

Our founding fathers fully understood that private property ownership was the vital key to freedom. They also understood that local government representation is the key to protecting liberty against a tyrannical central government that has no real stake in the lives of the citizens. Central government destroys personal choice, incentive, and the wealth created from it. It’s the reason we are now plummeting into poverty.

As our nation now moves toward the celebration of our 250th birthday, to save our Republic it’s urgent that American citizens unite to demand an answer from our locally elected representatives, who do you represent – the citizens who elected them or powerful special interests armed with a destructive agenda?

This Is The Fruit From A Blue County

Sarah Rockwell, a school board member in Alachua County, FL, Posted this, following Hulk Hogan’s death: “GOOD. ONE LESS MAGA IN THE WORLD.”

Of course, when caught, she pulled out the the apology shovel, and began mounding the BS about how sorry she was. She removed her comments. Of course.

Two things here: the first reaction (the one from the “gut”) is always the most truthful one. Second, because of that, the guilt trip just doesn’t fly. She said, on Farcebook, of course, “I apologize for the hurt and distrust I have caused with my insensitive comment. I will continue to do the hard work of putting our children and schools first. I hope that I can earn back your trust.” What made her suddenly more sensitive? She got caught.

Oh, yes. There is a third thing…is she dimly lit enough to think that a Facebook post would NOT be seen by many?? If so, she needs to resign immediately from the responsibility for education of others.

I am SOO sick of this kind of thing. Leftists mouthing off about their hatred for good moral people, and their support of violence and/or institutionalized ignorance or illegal activities (voter fraud comes to mind…). I would like to see this anti-American squirm in front of cameras, at the very least. I long to see some sort of SHAME appear from within them. I know. Silly me.

Pretty sure, THIS kind of thing is not what DeGov will be DOGE-ing in Alachua. Would that it were.

I confess. I’ve been having this reaction a lot, lately. Every time I read or hear a Globalist/Marxist/Communist yatter about something vile, even inhuman -or stop to take pictures of a violent event without trying to stop it – I want them center stage on coverage by honest media. Where they participated in violence against others, or advocacy thereof, I want them to go to jail. To wait for months for a simple court date, as our J6 patriots were forced to do.

Would this “lady” like to be treated the way her fellow Democrats treated MAGA patriots? Wonder if she has even a clue about what really happened?

Our Constitution, of course, prevents that, and that is why Constitutional Americans struggle to preserve it for ALL Americans, not just Conservatives. The School Board Member from Alachua County, FL, most likely has NO clue about this. If Ketanji Brown can’t tell you what’s in the US Constitution, I’m guessing that Ms. Rockwell cannot either.

Talllahassee seems to need some refresher courses in that as well.

Sarah Rockwell is, however, involved in making decisions about the education of future generations. The Alachua County public school system only rates a 3.8 out of 5 stars, so there is ample room for improvement. THAT is where School Board Members should be focused. There are online complaints about teachers not caring, and bathrooms being stinky and disgusting. Instead, this woman spends her time on social media snark.

Funny, I just realized that I’d not looked up Ms. Rockwell’s party affiliation. Apparently, I didn’t feel the need. When I did, sure enough – Ms. Rockwell is affiliated with the Democratic Party. She is a member of the Democratic Public Education Caucus of Florida. She wears the color accurately.

Not a really big deal, I suppose, in the grand scheme of things, but our children are our future. This kind of thing is perfect for LOCAL ACTION. Parents should be requesting/requiring that Board Members improve the Alachua County education system, not make nasty comments about people who disagree with them.

WHAT are they teaching your children??

A tidal wave is crashing toward America’s shores, and it’s not just a political shift – it’s a calculated invasion. Muslim candidates are rising in U.S. elections, and their victories are not mere milestones of diversity. They signal a relentless march toward imposing Sharia law, eroding the Constitution, and dismantling the very freedoms that define this nation. This is not speculation; it’s a battle cry rooted in undeniable patterns from past elections and the stark reality of what’s at stake. The list of consequences is long, the stakes are existential, and the enemy is already within the gates.

In 2022, 153 Muslim candidates ran for office across the U.S., with 89 securing seats in local, state, and federal roles. This wasn’t a random surge – it was a coordinated push, backed by groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and Jetpac, who openly celebrate their growing influence. Fast forward to 2025, and the trend accelerates. Muslim leaders boast of 43 state delegates now, with projections of 50 congressional seats by 2031. This isn’t representation; it’s a takeover. These candidates aren’t here to assimilate – they’re here to dominate, wielding political power to reshape America into a Sharia-compliant state.

The threat of Sharia law is not a distant nightmare; it’s a clear and present danger. Sharia is not a benign personal code, as apologists claim. It’s a totalitarian legal system that demands absolute submission, crushing free speech, gender equality, and individual liberty. It mandates harsh punishments – stoning, amputations, death for apostasy – and enforces rigid control over every aspect of life, from dress to diet. In Dearborn, Michigan, where Muslim populations dominate, local councils already mirror Sharia’s influence, with sex segregation and religious edicts creeping into public spaces. These are not isolated incidents; they’re test runs for a broader agenda. Muslim leaders openly admit their strategy: infiltrate local government, climb the political ladder, and rewrite laws to align with Islamic doctrine.

Past elections prove this is no conspiracy theory – it’s history repeating itself. Look at Mehmet Oz’s 2022 Senate run in Pennsylvania. A self-described “secular Muslim,” Oz still faced backlash for his Trump ties and anti-Sharia rhetoric, yet his campaign dodged Muslim community engagement, refusing to address their concerns directly. Why? Because candidates like Oz are often sleeper agents – presenting as moderate to win votes, only to pivot toward Islamist agendas once in power. The Muslim Brotherhood’s playbook, perfected in Egypt and Tunisia, thrives on this deception: gain trust, secure office, then push Sharia incrementally. In Michigan, Mayor Amer Ghalib of Hamtramck, a Yemeni Muslim, sparked outrage by endorsing Trump while ignoring dissent from his own council, signaling a willingness to prioritize personal power over community unity. These are not anomalies – they’re warnings.

The consequences of this infiltration are catastrophic. First, Sharia’s implementation erodes constitutional protections. Free speech? Gone, replaced by blasphemy laws that silence dissent. Women’s rights? Obliterated under mandates for modesty and submission. Religious freedom? Crushed as non-Muslims face second-class status or worse. In the UK, where Muslim political influence has grown, 58% of Conservative Party members view Islam itself as a threat, with 52% believing European cities already have Sharia-controlled “no-go” zones. America is on the same path. Cities like Minneapolis and Dearborn are becoming enclaves where Sharia’s shadow looms, with police hesitant to enforce laws in Muslim-dominated areas.

Second, national security is gutted. Muslim candidates, even those posing as moderates, often align with anti-American ideologies. The 2024 election saw Muslim voters abandon Democrats not for policy disagreements but because of rage over Gaza, funneling votes to third-party candidates like Jill Stein or even Trump, who promised to end foreign wars. This isn’t about peace – it’s about leveraging chaos to weaken U.S. resolve. CAIR, with its documented ties to Hamas, mobilizes Muslim voters to sway swing states like Michigan, where 200,000 registered Muslim voters tipped the scales for Trump in 2024. These voters aren’t loyal to America – they’re loyal to a global ummah, ready to exploit democracy to destroy it.

Third, the cultural fabric of America unravels. Muslim candidates push policies that prioritize their community over the nation. In Georgia, Ruwa Romman, the first Muslim woman elected to the state House, vowed to fight “anti-Sharia” laws, framing them as bigotry while ignoring their role in protecting constitutional governance. This isn’t inclusion – it’s a deliberate attack on the legal system that safeguards American values. Meanwhile, posts on X scream the truth: Muslims don’t believe in separating mosque and state. Their religious duty is to impose Sharia, whether through ballots or jihad.

Lessons from past elections burn like wildfire. In 2010, candidates exploited fears of Sharia to stoke division, yet voters ignored the deeper threat. By 2022, the number of Muslim elected officials had skyrocketed, with each victory paving the way for more radical policies. The 2024 UK election showed Labor losing seats due to Muslim voters’ fury over Gaza, proving their voting power can punish parties that don’t bend to their demands. America’s future is clear: every Muslim candidate elected is a step toward Sharia’s iron grip.

The solution is not negotiation or appeasement – it’s resistance. Americans must reject Muslim candidates at the ballot box, not out of prejudice but out of survival. Every vote for them is a vote for Sharia, a vote for the end of freedom. The Constitution is not a suggestion; it’s a fortress, and we must defend it with unrelenting fury. Expose their agendas, demand transparency, and hold them to the fire of American values. The storm is here, and it’s time to fight like hell to stop it.

• Advocates claim that the Tennessee’s SB1 violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
• The State of Tennessee claims they’re protecting children.
• Are state laws that prohibit the use of certain drugs to treat gender dysphoria constitutional?

All of western culture is at war. The fundamental point of conflict is whether a person’s “gender” is determined by biology or psychology, reality or wishes. One of the latest battles in this war is the Supreme Court case United States v. Skrmetti. In this case Mr. Skrmetti, as Attorney General of the State of Tennessee, is defending the state’s law that prohibits the use of so-called “gender-affirming” care for minors. The answer the court came to will surprise some and infuriate others.

Protecting Children

When we declared our independence from Great Britain, our Founding Fathers clearly stated:

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,

Declaration of Independence

The case United States v. Skrmetti is ultimately a controversy about rights. Do minors have the right to treatments that permanently alter their bodies, or does the state have the right and duty to protect these children from harm?

In 2023, Tennessee joined the growing number of States restricting sex transition treatments for minors by enacting the Prohibition on Medical Procedures Performed on Minors Related to Sexual Identity, Senate Bill 1 (SB1).

United States v. Skrmetti

As is so often the case, the details matter. What was in the law that got the United States government to intervene in this case brought by a group in Tennessee?

SB1 prohibits healthcare providers from prescribing, administering, or dispensing puberty blockers or hormones to any minor for the purpose of (1) enabling the minor to identify with, or live as, a purported identity inconsistent with the minor’s biological sex, or (2) treating purported discomfort or distress from a discordance between the minor’s biological sex and asserted identity.

United States v. Skrmetti

Tennessee didn’t prohibit the use of puberty blockers or hormones to anyone, only to minors. This is important because in this country not only are minors unable to give consent, the state is expected to step in when a child is being harmed, even by their parents. It’s one of the few situations where the state can legitimately interfere with parental rights, when the health or safety of the child is at risk. That said, SB1 is not a universal prohibition on the use of these drugs.

At the same time, SB1 permits a healthcare provider to administer puberty blockers or hormones to treat a minor’s congenital defect, precocious puberty, disease, or physical injury.

United States v. Skrmetti

In other words, SB1 only prohibits the use of puberty blockers and hormones when the purpose involves encouraging a transgender lifestyle.

This case, of course, did not start at the Supreme Court level.

Three transgender minors, their parents, and a doctor challenged SB1 under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The District Court partially enjoined SB1, finding that transgender individuals constitute a quasi-suspect class, that SB1 discriminates on the basis of sex and transgender status, and that SB1 was unlikely to survive intermediate scrutiny. The Sixth Circuit reversed, holding that the law did not trigger heightened scrutiny and satisfied rational basis review. This Court granted certiorari to decide whether SB1 violates the Equal Protection Clause.

United States v. Skrmetti

The District Court found for the minors, their parents, and the doctors. The court claimed that people believing they are “transgender” are part of a quasi-suspect class, which we’ll go into more in the section of Levels of Scrutiny. Based solely on the District Court’s belief that so-called “transgender” people are more likely to suffer discrimination, they claimed Tennessee’s SB1 was unconstitutional. However, the Sixth Circuit disagreed, claiming that the District Court was wrong in how they evaluated the law. The Supreme Court took the case to decide if SB1 violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment or not.

Levels of Scrutiny

This “Judicial Scrutiny” doctrine is a creation of the Supreme Court as a way of indicating to lower courts how hard a government must work in order to be allowed to violate your rights. The lowest level of scrutiny is the Rational Basis Test.

A judicial standard of review that examines whether a legislature had a reasonable and not an Arbitrary basis for enacting a particular statute.

Rational Basis Test – The Free Legal Dictionary

Basically, when the court uses the rational basis test, they’re just looking for a good reason for the law, rule, or regulation to exist. Next comes Intermediate Scrutiny.

In order to overcome the intermediate scrutiny test, it must be shown that the law or policy being challenged furthers an important government interest by means that are substantially related to that interest.

Intermediate Scrutiny – The Free Legal Dictionary

In order to survive intermediate scrutiny, the court requires not only that the law or policy be reasonable, but that it furthers an important government interest. Lastly we have Strict Scrutiny.

A standard of Judicial Review for a challenged policy in which the court presumes the policy to be invalid unless the government can demonstrate a compelling interest to justify the policy.

Strict Scrutiny – The Free Legal Dictionary

Under strict scrutiny, the government must show not only their interest is important, but compelling.

What these court-created definitions seem to miss is the primary interest of government, from the Declaration of Independence:

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,

Declaration of Independence

Government’s first and primary interest is in securing the rights of the people, not working out ways government will be allowed to infringe on those rights. This is where the District Court’s claim about a quasi-suspect class comes in.

A presumptively unconstitutional distinction made between individuals on the basis of race, national origin, alienage, or religious affiliation, in a statute, ordinance, regulation, or policy.

Suspect Class – The Free Legal Dictionary

When The Free Legal Dictionary uses the phrase “presumptively unconstitutional” it’s rather ironic. You see, the dictionary is claiming that when a distinction is made based on race, religion, etc., it’s “presumptively unconstitutional.” The irony comes when we realize that putting people in classes for the purpose of special protection under the law is presumptively unconstitutional; it truly is a violation of the concept of equal protection under the law.

Equal Protection

The petitioners claim that Tennessee’s SB1 violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

No State shall … deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

U.S. Constitution, Amendment XIV

So how can the petitioners claim a violation of the Equal Protection Clause?

On its face, SB1 incorporates two classifications: one based on age (allowing certain medical treatments for adults but not minors) and another based on medical use (permitting puberty blockers and hormones for minors to treat certain conditions but not to treat gender dysphoria, gender identity disorder, or gender incongruence). Classifications based on age or medical use are subject to only rational basis review.

The plaintiffs argue that SB1 warrants heightened scrutiny because it relies on sex-based classifications. But neither of the above classifications turns on sex. Rather, SB1 prohibits healthcare providers from administering puberty blockers or hormones to minors for certain medical uses, regardless of a minor’s sex. While SB1’s prohibitions reference sex, the Court has never suggested that mere reference to sex is sufficient to trigger heightened scrutiny. And such an approach would be especially inappropriate in the medical context, where some treatments and procedures are uniquely bound up in sex.

United States v. Skrmetti

The Supreme Court has established a precedent that classifications based on age and medical use only require rational basis review. Remember, this is not law, but the history of the court. While the petitioners (the plaintiffs in the original case) argue that because the classification are sex based, they should receive a higher level of scrutiny. I find this laughable for two reasons. First, the “transgender” movement keeps claiming that sex and gender are different. So if SB1 prohibits the use of these drugs for gender identification, how is that sex discrimination? Second, SB1 doesn’t discriminate based on sex, since the sex of the recipient is not a consideration.

The application of SB1, moreover, does not turn on sex. The law does not prohibit certain medical treatments for minors of one sex while allowing those same treatments for minors of the opposite sex.

SB1 does not exclude any individual from medical treatments on the basis of transgender status.

United States v. Skrmetti

Thomas Concurrence

Justice Thomas made an interesting point about expertise and consensus in his concurrence.

The United States asserted that “the medical community and the nation’s leading hospitals overwhelmingly agree” with the Government’s position that the treatments outlawed by SB1 can be medically necessary. … The implication of these arguments is that courts should defer to so-called expert consensus.

There are several problems with appealing and deferring to the authority of the expert class. First, so-called experts have no license to countermand the “wisdom, fairness, or logic of legislative choices.” … Second, contrary to the representations of the United States and the private plaintiffs, there is no medical consensus on how best to treat gender dysphoria in children. Third, notwithstanding the alleged experts’ view that young children can provide informed consent to irreversible sex-transition treatments, whether such consent is possible is a question of medical ethics that States must decide for themselves. Fourth, there are particularly good reasons to question the expert class here, as recent revelations suggest that leading voices in this area have relied on questionable evidence, and have allowed ideology to influence their medical guidance.

Taken together, this case serves as a useful reminder that the American people and their representatives are entitled to disagree with those who hold themselves out as experts, and that courts may not “sit as a super-legislature to weigh the wisdom of legislation.”

United States v. Skrmetti

Wow, four really good points. Let’s focus on the last one: The questionable evidence. One of the points Justice Thomas brought up during his dissent was the dependence of so many arguments on the work of World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH).

Over a decade ago, one of WPATH’s contributors explained that “‘WPATH aspires to be both a scientific organization and an advocacy group for the transgendered,’” and admitted that WPATH’s Standards of Care “‘is not a politically neutral document.’” … WPATH’s apparent willingness to let political interests influence its medical conclusions highlights this reality. States are never required to substitute expert opinion for their legislative judgment, and, when the experts appear to have compromised their credibility, it makes good sense to chart a different course.

United States v. Skrmetti

It seems to me that a goal of advocacy is a direct conflict of interest to a so-called scientific organization. Yet these advocates seem to be the basis for so much of the “transgender” community’s arguments for physically altering children to treat a mental condition.

Barrett Concurrence

Meanwhile, Justice Barrett brought up the question of “transgender” individual being part of a suspect class.

The Sixth Circuit held that transgender individuals do not constitute a suspect class, and it was right to do so. To begin, transgender status is not marked by the same sort of “‘obvious, immutable, or distinguishing characteristics’” as race or sex. … In particular, it is not defined by a trait that is “‘definitively ascertainable at the moment of birth.’” … The plaintiffs here, for instance, began to experience gender dysphoria at varying ages—some from a young age, others not until the onset of puberty. … Meanwhile, the plaintiffs acknowledge that some transgender individuals “detransition” later in life—in other words, they begin to identify again with the gender that corresponds to their biological sex. … Accordingly, transgender status does not turn on an “immutable . . . characteristi[c].”

United States v. Skrmetti

As I’ve been saying, “transgender” is not a physical condition but a mental one.

Sotomayor Dissent

To give meaning to our Constitution’s bedrock equal protection guarantee, this Court has long subjected to heightened judicial scrutiny any law that treats people differently based on sex.

United States v. Skrmetti

Once again it seems Justice Sotomayor is quite comfortable not only making up facts to fit her agenda, but defeating her case in the same argument. She starts out by claiming SB1 discriminates based on sex, then she writes this:

Tennessee has taken a different tack. The State enacted SB1 to categorically prohibit physicians from prescribing puberty blockers and hormone therapy for the purpose of treating gender dysphoria in minors.

United States v. Skrmetti

So which is it Justice Sotomayor? Is Tennessee prohibiting physicians from prescribing these drugs based on sex or are they treating gender dysphoria? You can’t have both.

This case presents an easy question: whether SB1’s ban on certain medications, applicable only if used in a manner “inconsistent with . . . sex,” contains a sex classification. Because sex determines access to the covered medications, it clearly does.

United States v. Skrmetti

Except you’ve already stated that the prohibition on the use of these drugs is based on the condition being treated, not the sex of the individual. I guess, like WPATH, Justice Sotomayor is not going to let a little thing like facts get in the way of her advocacy.

Conclusion

Ultimately, the court held the following:

Held: Tennessee’s law prohibiting certain medical treatments for transgender minors is not subject to heightened scrutiny under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and satisfies rational basis review.

United States v. Skrmetti

Since SB1 is not subject to strict scrutiny, the court affirms the Sixth Circuit decision, leaving the law in place and unchallenged. The reason behind this decision though, goes beyond the question of scrutiny.

This case carries with it the weight of fierce scientific and policy debates about the safety, efficacy, and propriety of medical treatments in an evolving field. The Equal Protection Clause does not resolve these disagreements. The Court’s role is not “to judge the wisdom, fairness, or logic” of SB1, … but only to ensure that the law does not violate equal protection guarantees. It does not. Questions regarding the law’s policy are thus appropriately left to the people, their elected representatives, and the democratic process.

United States v. Skrmetti

I love it when a court stays within its own limits. Contrary to what Justice Sotomayor wrote in her dissent, judging the wisdom, fairness, or logic of a law is outside of the court’s purview. That is a job for the elected representatives of the people.

Setting aside whether sex-transition treatments for children are effective, States may legitimately question whether they are ethical. States have a legitimate interest “in protecting the integrity and ethics of the medical profession.”

United States v. Skrmetti

Which is exactly what Tennessee has done. They have found the use of puberty blockers and hormones to treat gender dysphoria unethical for minors. Beyond that, I believe Justice Thomas made a very important point when he wrote:

This case carries a simple lesson: In politically contentious debates over matters shrouded in scientific uncertainty, courts should not assume that self-described experts are correct.

United States v. Skrmetti

Neither courts, nor anyone for that matter, should assume the self-described experts are correct. Or, as the second pillar of The Constitution Study processes states:

An expert opinion is still only an opinion until there is proof.

July 31, 2025

Anymore than we’ll ever know the full truth about the 1960s political assassinations.

The Jeffrey Epstein scandal continues to bedevil the Trump administration and divide a substantial segment of Trump’s longstanding support base. No surprises here. Trump promised to have released everything the government had on Epstein, with Attorney General Pamela Bondi saying in February she had a list “sitting on my desk right now” of powerful male clients who’d paid Epstein to bring them underaged girls for illicit sexual favors.

Then the administration backpedaled, with the now-infamous memo Bondi’s Justice Department issued in early July stating that there was no client list and that they had nothing to suggest that Epstein was murdered in prison. Nothing more will be released; nothing to see here. Move on, move on….

Much of the base isn’t buying it, and it can’t be lost on anyone that leftist Democrats are having a field day! They’re promoting the idea that Trump discovered his name in those files, and that’s why he doesn’t want them released. You don’t have to be on the left to think this. Elon Musk made this allegation, and few would call him a leftist.

Yes, there are photographs of the two men in circulation dating from the early 2000s. This doesn’t prove anything salacious was going on. We had Photoshop before the turn of the millennium, after all, and now we have AI. I could ask my friendly neighborhood AI to come up with something suggestive using images of the two men together, and it would do so faster than it took me to write this sentence.

In the absence of a proven-authentic client list, we can’t establish anything although the burden of proof remains on the accusers.

Bondi and others claimed in the infamous memo to have footage of the outside of Epstein’s cell the night of his death: 11 hours of it, showing no one entering or leaving.

One problem is that there’s no evidence that what the video shows really is the outside of Epstein’s cell. The second and bigger problem: the video was clearly doctored. Minutes were missing from it. So sorry, not credible! And the suppressed autopsy report indicating three bones broken in Epstein’s neck in a fashion more consistent with strangulation than suicide by hanging oneself hasn’t gone away.

What’s been released so far isn’t anything we didn’t already know. I was sent a client list last week — via Facebook. And while the list of names was, shall we say, interesting, the person who sent it to me couldn’t confirm its authenticity. If anyone can photoshop an image of Epstein and Trump together, anyone minimally competent with AI could come up with an “Epstein client list.” So I’m unable to run with that, either.

It’s reasonable that there is an authentic client list somewhere. When all is said and done, Epstein was a businessman. Businessmen keep records. Whatever their business is, even if it is something blatantly illegal and immoral, if they didn’t keep records somewhere, their enterprise would fall into chaos. Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s trusted sidekick, was given 20 years for trafficking underaged girls. Trafficking them to whom? That’s the question of the moment, or should be.

Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino’s remark on X the other day is interesting:

The Director and I are committed to stamping out public corruption and the political weaponization of both law enforcement and intelligence operations. It is a priority for us. But what I have learned in the course of our properly predicated and necessary investigations into these aforementioned matters, has shocked me down to my core. We cannot run a Republic like this. I’ll never be the same after learning what I’ve learned. 

It’s charming that he thinks the U.S. is still a “republic,” but never mind that. A far bigger question: what’s he talking about?

It’s clear from his tone that he’s seen something that shocked him. Perhaps enough to prevent him from following through on his implied threat to resign after the day he had it out with Bondi.

Mainstream corporate media harps incessantly about the “conspiracy theories” surrounding the Epstein files and Epstein’s death. Maybe if these people ever told the truth about anything, we wouldn’t be so “conspiratorial.”

There’s definitely a there there. Obviously someone is hiding that something, and that someone  probably has a great deal of power — including, perchance, the power to eliminate threats. No one wants to have an “unfortunate accident” … or “die by suicide.”

Did Pamela Bondi, having announced that she possessed the Epstein client list, receive unscheduled visitors sometime between February and July? It’s easy to picture men dressed in three-piece suits and dark glasses, shoes black and spit-shined, carrying briefcases, letting her know that pursuing this matter might be hazardous to her health.

Did such men pay Trump himself a visit … assuming he hadn’t figured out the score?

I can’t prove this. So I don’t claim it as fact. But the idea is consistent with everything we know and offers to explain what we don’t know.

Long time readers know how I’ve referenced the entity I sometimes call GloboCorp and sometimes use other designations for: the power elites, the globalists, the plutocratic oligarchy, the global ruling class, etc. All roads lead to the City of London. In my book Four Cardinal Errors (2011), one of the errors I documented was thinking we Americans got fully free of British tentacles of financial elites, even if we came as close as anyone after Andrew Jackson shut down the Second Bank of the United States.

The financial elites created the Federal Reserve in 1913, and by the 1920s the road had become a thoroughfare leading to New York City and Washington, D.C.; shortly thereafter (1930s), it led to Basel, Switzerland (Bank for International Settlements). Interestingly, that same decade saw the rise of an outfit calling itself Technocracy Inc., which envisioned a united North America they would call the North American Technate.

By the 1990s, the globalist mindset and the money behind it, had given rise to a political-economic superhighway with major branches leading to — or through — Brussels, Davos, Tel Aviv, Dubai, Silicon Valley, and elsewhere.

We had, as I’ve long emphasized, a political economy of welfare-statism in reverse: redistribution of wealth upwards, as the rich grew richer through financial instruments, not real work, and the middle class that still believed in work lost ground. This process continued into the 2000s, blowing past the Meltdown of 2008 and then Covid, from which the billionaire class prospered magnanimously while locking down Main Street.

Technocracy has always been the guiding philosophy of this global entity. You should obtain a copy of Patrick Wood’s Technocracy Rising: The Trojan Horse of Global Transformation (2014). Wood, who had worked with the great Antony C. Sutton (they’d collaborated on Trilaterals Over Washington in the 1970s) and has taken on the challenge of exposing what has been the guiding philosophy of the elites: materialist to its core (no God to answer to), the idea that every societal problem has a technological solution, and that we can take charge of our “evolution” and make a better human (transhumanism).

Incidentally, the Canadian branch of Technocracy Inc. had been headed up by a fellow named Joshua Haldemon. Haldemon’s activities ran up against Canadian law (specifically, the country’s Defense of Canada Act). He fled to South Africa to start over there. His daughter was named Maye, and in 1971 Maye gave birth to a son.

The son’s name was Elon Musk.

Musk, whom Trump put in charge of DOGE, grew up with Technocrat ideas, and it would be incredibly naïve to think he and his Silicon Valley cohorts (Peter Thiel is the obvious case) aren’t furthering such ideas today but not calling them that. We’re “building the future” is what they say. But will it be a future any of us want to live in?

Technocracy is a dangerous mindset, because obviously big money is backing it. Very likely there are many superrich who haven’t studied it and don’t get what they’ve committed themselves to.

How does Epstein fit into this equation? How did we get from Technocracy to trafficking underaged girls to powerful closet-pedophiles?

Immense wealth and mastery over technological advances doesn’t solve every human problem, including for those at the top. I imagine some of its upper echelon personnel growing supremely bored in their off hours. Completely absent morality, some could be drawn into the sorts of sexual games Epstein specialized in.

If your outlook on the universe is fundamentally amoral, you don’t see anything wrong with using people as objects to achieve your goals, or satiate your appetite for sexual pleasure.

And you probably have a goon squad on call — a close-knit group of loyal sociopaths who will threaten whom they’re told to threaten and kill if they’re told to kill. Being sociopaths, they won’t empathize or suffer moral guilt afterwards.

Is this the final truth about the Epstein files, that they contain names of the people in the upper echelons of this global octopus?

If so, we peasants can be sure we’ll never see them — not see an authenticated client list, that is, as opposed to something ganked from social media.

For the same reasons that we’ve been unable to learn the final truth about the Kennedy assassinations, and the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., all of whom posed threats to what the global powers of the day wanted — e.g., the war in Vietnam which RFK Sr. opposed, and to which Dr. King was turning his attention when he was murdered.

These people love war! Which is why wars keep happening (even Trump has been pulled into the ongoing Middle East conflict which the Anglo-American-Israeli Establishment started). War is profitable and, maybe, to their perverted worldview, even sexy! But not sexy enough! Hence the market for underaged girls, in which billions of dollars change hands underground every year, with Jeffrey Epstein most likely one of their most reliable foot soldiers. His exposure — and the possibility of his choosing to tell where the bodies are buried — posed an existential threat to the global octopus’s continued dominance.

A theory only. Of course. A full release, with full authentication, of everything related to Jeffrey Epstein could prove me wrong. If what I’ve written above captures just part of the truth, then we’ll never see anything credible — any more than we’ve been able to gain closure on the 1960s assassinations.

Almost no one thinks pedophilia is acceptable under any circumstances. So were the truth to come out, and it’s this or anything close to this, the global peasantry would finally respond, organize behind real leadership, and cut off the octopus’s head.

The adage goes, “Time heals all things/wounds.”

Let’s take a step back concerning that statement.

“The phrase “time heals all wounds/things“ suggests that time lessons pain over time. While it’s a common saying, it’s not always accurate, as some emotional wounds can linger or even worsen without active healing efforts. Time can dull the pain and provide perspective, but it doesn’t automatically resolve deep emotional wounds. True healing often requires conscious effort, self-reflection, and sometimes professional support,” says Psychology Today.

A week ago or so ago, the psychopath killer Bryan Kohberger, who slit the throats of those four college kids in Moscow, Idaho—found himself in a 8’ by 10’ by 12’ prison cell for the rest of his life. I sat listening to the “victims impact statements’ of the family members with tears streaming down my face the whole time.

He destroyed four lives in the spring of their years. He destroyed eight parents. He destroyed dozens of friends of those college kids. He destroyed the emotions of relatives, college instructors and worse—-he destroyed those four kids’ future husbands and wives, their kids, the jobs they would have worked, the travel, the joy of being alive.

Kohberger did a number on my emotions because I’ve lost friends and family members to early death. I’ll bet he did the same to you. The sheer senselessness and horror of his actions defy a sane person’s imagination. While he sits and rots in that jail cell for the next 50 years, his life grows more meaningless and vacant with every minute of every day. How did such a monster ever set foot on this planet?

Will time heal all wounds? From my perspective, not a chance. The pain he inflicted on those kids, their families, and even the nation will remain as a life-long “dagger” in everyone’s hearts.

But then, here in Denver, Colorado, I witnessed the slaughter of innocents at Columbine High School over 26 years ago. Those two walking “insane asylum” teenagers destroyed lives and families that reaches into today because “time heals all wounds” doesn’t really soothe anyone’s painful experiences of that day.

Then, you look at another Denver tragedy when a shooter walked into a movie theater to shoot 12 dead and injure 70 others. None of the living will ever recover from that horror.

And then, December 14, 2012, look back at the parents of those 20 kids and four adults at Sandy Hook Elementary who suffered death at the hands of a mentally sick kid with an automatic weapon. I would be interested in the long-term pain those victims’ parents and friends still suffer today.

Just this week, a nutcase drove from Las Vegas to New York City to kill four people in cold blood. It makes you sick to your stomach that so many “crazy people” walk around shooting up and destroying countless lives.

Over the 4th of July weekend in Chicago, 55 shootings with 6 dead, or maybe more after they didn’t survive surgery. It’s nuts!

Why does this bother me?

At my age of 17, my father died of a heart attack at his youthful age of 46. It devastated me. It changed my personality. It changed my life. It wrecked my sister and did a number on one of brothers. We were doing our lives with paper routes, school, baseball, basketball, and football. We played golf, tennis, bowling and canoeing. All of a sudden, I come home in April of 1964 with a whole bunch of cars in the front of our house. My Dad’s best friend took me aside, “Frosty, I’ve got bad news…your father died umping behind the plate at the Albany game…I’m so sorry.”

My world collapsed. My understanding of life disintegrated. My concept of myself in the world spun into tears, debilitating crying and horrific heartache. My brothers and sister cried all night. I hit the bunk totally numb. In the morning, I woke with my brain burning with pain. My body didn’t know what was happening. Thank my mother for her courage to keep moving forward.

At the funeral, they put him in a casket and I was forced to walk through to see him dead. I have never attended an open-casket funeral again. I would rather remember my friends and family alive in my mind rather than “dead” in a casket.

Back in 1964, no grief counselors. I staggered into each new day with a kind of “dread” that I cannot explain. Just a deep, painful kind of emotional poison that pervaded every cell in my body. I was sick, sad, hurt, and completely a victim of death visiting at my doorstep in my young life.

It still pains me when I visit my Dad’s gravesite at the Rose Lake Cemetery in LeRoy, Michigan. I just break down and cry my eyes out. My father was SUCH a good man, good father, good human being.

So, when I see all these killings in our society today, I KNOW that every family that suffers a loss of a mother, father, friend, sister, or brother—it’s horrible, sad and, guess what, “Time does not heal all wounds.”

What do I do to keep my life, mind and emotions in balance?

At first, I staggered through each day. I discovered that nobody else cares that your parent died. Everyone else faces their own challenges each day. Some fathers beat their kids. Other parents verbally degrade their kids. Some parents ignore their kids. In the inner city, you’ve got drug use, incest, alcohol, and the TV “parents” millions of kids. Today, the cell phone has become the new parent. We no longer see, “Father Knows Best” TV shows. Today, it’s “Love after Lockup.” Which is about the MOST sickening, stupid and ridiculous show on television! You’ve got to lower your IQ below 60 to watch it.

As time passed, I attended college. I booked seven days a week. I decided to make my Dad proud. I carried his picture in my wallet. I wrote letters to him. I wrote letters to my Mom. I made the Dean’s List often.

While “time” lets the pain subside, 61 years later, I still cry over my father’s early death. He didn’t get to see me become the man he was raising. He didn’t get to see me become a world explorer or an author of two dozen books. He didn’t get to meet my wife. I didn’t get to see him grow old with my mother.

And yet, I say “Hi” to his 8”X10” picture in my office each day. I surround his picture with my adventure pictures so he can enjoy me standing on the Wall of China, scuba diving the Galapagos Islands, working and living in Antarctica, riding my bicycle across six continents.

My father was an average man, yet he is a tower of excellence that gave me the courage to live a spectacular life.

For you, reading this commentary, I hope you have survived the loss of a parent or friend. I wish you to experience all the infinite joys and disappointments in life, and simply keep moving forward. Life takes courage. I wish you courage, forgiveness, happiness, health, joy, love and understanding.

It Can and Will Happen Again If We Don’t Wake Up

Democrats know no bounds. Of that, we are all well aware. Cheating, lying and violence are their triumvirate of action. It’s all they have.

THE LEFT KNOWS THAT IT CAN NOT WIN ANOTHER ELECTION (and hasn’t for quite a while, in reality) unless they cheat. So, like any good ostrich, they stick their heads in the sand and pretend that their denials of stolen votes aren’t noticed.

Those on the complacent right, however, are even more like the awkward bird. Instead of engaging in election integrity efforts in their town, county or state, they stick their heads in the sand – which leaves the other end out to be kicked!

Interesting note: the ostrich lays their eggs in that hole, and the male checks out the young ones every so often, by sticking his head down there. We cannot do the same. If we want our families to be safe, we have to get out heads OUT of the sand and help to make elections truly count.

The Left (Globalists/Marxists, Communists, or whatever you prefer) will never give up, because they can’t. Their movement is almost history, and The People are pretty much fed up. Their only chance at relevance is to steal some elections so they can stay in the game. They have lots of helpers, worldwide.

Several bruised- blue states are doing everything they can to disallow honest voting and vote-counting. As usual, California is the best example of what not to do, in all the little back-door ways. Remember, they didn’t know that their single family zoning in the fire area had been changed several months before their omes burned down.

Their AB 930 opens the door for non-citizens to serve on recount boards by changing language from” “Elections Code to allow election officials to appoint “four individuals” instead of “four voters of the county” to special recount boards.” The bill also extends the deadline for mail-in ballots to be considered timely cast from three days to seven days after Election Day, provided the ballots are postmarked by Election Day. Just figure out how many fake votes you need, then produce them in the week allowed!

Newsome and his Globalists are desperate for fraud. The angrier the burned out residents get at their officials’ CalAntics, the harder the officials work to keep control.

Non-citizen voting is prohibited by many states, in their constitutions, but even some “red states” have sketchy issues when it comes to voting.

For instance, Florida Motor Vehicle bureaus are required by the State to distribute voter registrations regardless of proof of citizenship. Recently, a bill, SB 1330, tightening citizenship verification was allowed to die. Yet, Florida wants to disenfranchise their own citizens in local elections, keep others from vetting candidates or finding dark money and bad election procedures.

How DARE citizens want to have honesty in government?

Ok. I’ll stop here. You get it. Just had to remind you of a few examples of problems with election integrity in both red and blue states. If you think that you live somewhere “safe”, you are fooling yourself. Nowhere is, truly. That is why the tireless work of organizations like Eagle AI, The Peoples’ Audit, and the Reclaim Campaign, to name but a few are so important to our future as a free country.

Every citizen in every state who cares about freedom MUST get in action. Midterms are on the horizon. I hope you’re not tired of hearing about it, because I will never tire of reminding everyone how deadly important it is.

Britain freely opened their doors to invaders, then suddenly London elected a Muslim Mayor. Now, it is illegal to fly the British flag in that country. New York and New York City are on the same path. Could flying Old Glory soon be against the law??!

Yeah, the Brits didn’t think so either.

And Here Comes Some More…

“The violence of the wicked will [return to them and] drag them away [like fish caught in a net], Because they refuse to act with justice.” -Proverbs 21:7

When I was 14-years-old, I remember watching a martial arts movie called “Kill or Be Killed.”  The title of the movie invoked the thought that either you are going to bring judgment upon the heads of the wicked or the wicked are going to continuously bring injustice upon the innocent (Psalm 94:16).  Now that I am grown up and have read the Word of God in understanding the heart of the Lord (In part-Jeremiah 9:24) and the US Constitution, I have to say that I DO NOT UNDERSTAND the American people who stand down in the face of their oppressors, especially knowing that the Law is on the side of the people, under God, and that they have provisions in the Constitution to deal with the corrupt who assail them.

This is NOT what our forefathers taught us.  In fact, it’s just the opposite (Isaiah 59:14)!

Let me explain, in part, what is happening in my home state of Minnesota.  This is to show you what the people are inviting by allowing these installed criminals to continue.

Congressman Tom Emmer highlighted the treasonous crimes of CIA-installed pedophile and communist Governor Tim Walz.

Though treason is punishable by death, treasonous Walz was asked by Tom Emmer to merely give an apology (Proverbs 21:7).  You heard me right.

Two weeks later, the people had still overlooked the treasonous crimes of Tim Walz in selling off their state to the enemy (Deuteronomy 28:68).  So, what does he do?  He made a bid to run for a third term to continue his criminal assault on Minnesota’s constituents.

I am here to tell you that the 5.9 million people of this state, including the police, despise this criminal and have so from the beginning of his administration.  Yet, he remains a free criminal to do what he wills.  Now, he is running for a third term? What is it that the people will not tolerate? Up to this point, there has been no impeachment or prosecution brought forth.

Tim Walz, who is from Nebraska, acts and sounds much like his counterpart, CIA-Installed and scoundrel Attorney General Keith Ellison, who is from Michigan and is caught up in yet another scandal:  The 250-million-dollar theft from the Hungary Children Scandal.  Of course, there were those who were thrown under the bus of justice, and rightly so, for the crimes that were orchestrated by those who have been overlooked and yet named.

Take a look at the list of names below.  Most have been charged with wire fraud, conspiracy to commit federal programs bribery, federal programs bribery, conspiracy to commit money laundering,  and money laundering.

• Aimee Marie Bock: Founder and executive director of the nonprofit Feeding Our Future. Convicted at trial awaiting sentencing
• Abdikerm Abdelahi Eidleh: Pleaded guilty; sentenced to time served + probation
• Salim Ahmed Said: Pleaded guilty; awaiting sentencing
• Abdulkadir Nur Salah: Pleaded guilty; sentenced to 3 years
• Ahmed Sharif Omar-Hashim: Pleaded guilty; sentenced to 2 years
• Abdi Nur Salah: Pleaded guilty; sentenced to 18 months
• Abdihakim Ali Ahmed: Pleaded guilty; awaiting sentencing
• Ahmed Mohamed Artan: Pleaded guilty; sentenced to 1 year
• Abdikadir Ainanshe Mohamud: Pleaded guilty; sentenced to 2 years
• Abdinasir Mahamed Abshir: Pleaded guilty; awaiting sentencing
• Asad Mohamed Abshir: Pleaded guilty; sentenced to 15 months
• Hamdi Hussein Omar: Pleaded guilty; sentenced to time served
• Ahmed Abdullahi Ghedi: Pleaded guilty; sentenced to 18 months
• Abdirahman Mohamud Ahmed: Pleaded guilty; awaiting sentencing
• Abdiaziz Shafii Farah: Convicted at trial, sentenced to 10 years
• Mohamed Jama Ismail: Convicted at trial, sentenced to 12 years
• Mahad Ibrahim: Pleaded guilty; sentenced to 3 years
• Abdimajid Mohamed Nur: sentenced to 2 years
• Mukhtar Mohamed Shariff: Convicted at trial, sentenced to 17.5 years
• Hayat Mohamed Nur: Pleaded guilty; sentenced to 3 years
• Qamar Ahmed Hassan: Pleaded guilty; sentenced to 2 years
• Sahra Mohamed Nur: Pleaded guilty; sentenced to 4 years and 3 months
• Abdiwahab Ahmed Mohamud: Pleaded guilty; awaiting sentencing
• Filsan Mumin Hassan: Pleaded guilty; sentenced to time served
• Guhaad Hashi Said: Pleaded guilty; sentenced to 1 year
• Abdullahe Nur Jesow: Pleaded guilty; awaiting sentencing
• Abdul Abubakar Ali: Pleaded guilty; sentenced to probation
• Yusuf Bashir Ali: Pleaded guilty; sentenced to 18 months
• Haji Osman Salad: Pleaded guilty; sentenced to 2 years
• Fahad Nur: Pleaded guilty; awaiting sentencing
• Anab Artan Awad: Pleaded guilty; sentenced to probation
• Sharmarke Issa: Pleaded guilty; sentenced to 3 years
• Farhiya Mohamud: Pleaded guilty; awaiting sentencing
• Liban Yasin Alishire: Pleaded guilty; sentenced to 2 years
• Ahmed Yasin Ali: Pleaded guilty; sentenced to probation
• Khadar Jigre Adan: Pleaded guilty; sentenced to 18 months
• Sharmake Jama: Pleaded guilty; awaiting sentencing
• Ayan Jama: Pleaded guilty; sentenced to time served
• Fartun Jama: Pleaded guilty; sentenced to probation
• Mustafa Jama: Pleaded guilty; awaiting sentencing
• Zamzam Jama: Pleaded guilty; sentenced to probation
• Bekam Addissu Merdassa: Pleaded guilty; sentenced to 2 years
• Hadith Yusuf Ahmed: Convicted at trial, sentenced to 10 years
• Hanna Marekegn: Pleaded guilty; sentenced to probation

The people listed were charged as part of the Feeding Our Future fraud scheme in Minnesota, which is a federal case that involves theft of $250 million from child nutrition programs during COVID.

All were indicted for submitting fraudulent meal claims, laundering funds, and bribery.

The scheme involved fake nonprofits claiming to serve millions of meals to children.

Up to this point, there have been no impeachment proceedings or prosecutions brought against Keith Ellison.

The people are told that he was voted in just like Tim Walz. They are not being voted into office.  They are being installed.

Republican lawmakers question attorney general Ellison about feeding our future scandal

Attorney General Keith Ellison accuser of the innocent defender of the guilty attempting to equate hate to the law that exposes crime

This reminds me of Ilhan Omar, who is even hated by the Somalian population in Minnesota.  Yet, the mainstream media highlights her as one of the most influential people in America despite her intent to overthrow this country. Yes, she is another CIA-Installed pawn.

Muslim representative Ilhan Omar wants to dismantle America during this revolution

It’s interesting how even her colonizing efforts in the 5th district have been rated the terrorist recruitment capital of America.  Yet, there are still no arrests, and the people still cannot figure out what is happening in their own country.

Leave off justice, and you invite more injustice (Amos 6:3)!  Up to this point, there has been no impeachment or prosecution brought against Omar.

What’s worse is that the mainstream media will sell to the people how she was voted into office.  Nothing could be further from the truth!

Had enough yet?

One more step in showing you what the apathetic and tolerant people are bringing upon themselves and their children if justice is not wrought upon the obvious acts of the treasonous (Proverbs 7:1; Isaiah 26:9).

As treasonous Mayor of Minneapolis Jacob Frey dances like a fool for his handlers and sells out his people for 30 pieces of silver (Luke 22:48), in comes Muslim Omar Fateh the alleged winner (CIA-Installed) of the Minneapolis Mayoral candidacy. This pawn is busy on the senate floor highlighting the fact that “white People are the problem with this country.

Also, consider the fact that this “winner” of the candidacy for the mayor of Minneapolis has also been charged with Ballot fraud and taxpayer-funded $500,000 graft payoff to Somali TV.

Minneapolis Mamdani another jihadi communist wins mayoral nomination despite previous charges of ballot fraud and taxpayer funded 500k graft payoff to somali tv

The mainstream media would have you all believe that they were voted in by the people in the face of the facts. Omar, up to this point, has not been impeached as a senator nor prosecuted.

There is, and has been, massive voter fraud taking place throughout America for generations in this country.

In conclusion: I have met with the late Senator Bruce Anderson, Senator Eric Lucero, State Representative Walter Hudson, Ben Davis, Local law Enforcement, etc., and in response to the above crimes and demanding constitutional remedy and resolve by impeachment and prosecution (Article II, Section 4; Article I Section 3 Clause 7), they give no response.

The language of our said representatives is highlighting the crimes to their constituents with a half-smirk on their faces.  All of this is occurring in the face of them swearing an oath to uphold the law against all enemies both foreign and domestic (Numbers 30:2; Deuteronomy 23:23).

People, you are being sold into the hands of your enemies (Judges 2:14)!

How could it be otherwise?  Instead of the People bringing justice, they get more Injustice!

July 30, 2025

Once upon a time, there was a rock-ribbed Conservative U.S. Senator who tried mightily to get an über-conservative law passed but was met with great resistance by his liberal colleagues. This went on not for months, but for almost two years.

But he was so persistent and determined that those same resistant colleagues––and their lapdogs in the leftwing media––started to call him “bulldog” ––even, at times, Senator Bulldog!

Then, one beautiful spring day, he was both astounded and delighted to learn that he had enough votes to pass his proposed law. The vote was to be taken shortly after the Senate came back from lunch.

As the senator walked along Constitution Avenue to his favorite lunch spot, The Capitol Hill Club, enjoying the gorgeous sight of the wisteria and magnolias and cherry blossoms in bloom, he felt ebullient and redeemed and also proud that his persistence, and the righteousness of his cause, would finally see the light.

There he was, Central Casting, walking tall in his blue suit, white shirt (with cufflinks!), red tie… the perfect symbolic colors, he thought, for this milestone day in his life.

HELLO, SENATOR!

As he strode along, another Central Casting figure came up to his side––tall, handsome, also dressed to the nines.

“Hello, Senator, how are you today?”

The Senator, long in public service, was accustomed to people he had never met greeting him, saying hello, wishing him well, or advising him on political matters. And, of course, insulting him.

“Thank you,” he replied to the stranger. “Very well… it’s a beautiful day.”

“Well, Senator,” said the stranger, “I know when you get back to the Senate, you’re going to vote NO on that proposed legislation.”

At this presumptuous, ridiculous, insulting and very bizarre remark, at the very idea that he would vote NO on the legislation he had worked on assiduously for almost two years, he turned to the strange man and asked with irritation in his voice: “Do I know you?”

“Well, no Senator,” the stranger replied, “we’ve never met. But I do know that your daughter just got an off-campus apartment in Virginia. Have a nice day, Senator!”

With that, the stranger jumped into a dark sedan that at that moment had conveniently pulled up to the curb and he was gone.

FACT OR FICTION?

I shared the above imaginary scenario with a few “inside D.C.” Democrat and Republican people I know––two acclaimed journalists, a hugely prominent Democrat politician, a longtime aide to an influential member of the U.S. Congress, and a high-ranking military official––and asked them if they thought my introduction rang true, was plausible, or was not at all credible.

To a person they said it was all too plausible. “Don’t change a word,” one person wrote.

That was no surprise to me because it is now clear to even skeptics and cynics that what the American public has known, or strongly suspected, for decades, is that the D.C. Swamp––meaning the government that We the People elected––is a virtual cesspool of corruption, malfeasance, grift, payoffs, bribes, and the very definition of criminality.

But is it also the very definition–-as the above scenario suggests––of murder-for-hire?

THE VP???

President John F. Kennedy

Even after 62 years, the question of who assassinated President John F. Kennedy in 1963 remains undecided, with theories ranging from a coverup decision by the Warren Commission, which blamed the 46-year-old president’s death on the “lone gunman” Lee Harvey Oswald, to author Rob Morrow’s contention and conclusion that the entire tragedy was conceived, choreographed and carried out by JFK’s VP, Lyndon Baines Johnson, and he recommends these two resources as proof: LBJ: Mastermind of the JFK Assassination by Phillip Nelson and this scholarly article by Jeremy Kuzmarov for Covert Action Magazine, which indicts LBJ for JFK’s death.

NO EXIT WOUND?

Vince Foster

Vince Foster served as White House counsel during the first six months of the Clinton Administration. According to The Washington Post, although Foster had risen to “the pinnacle of the Arkansas legal establishment,” he was unhappy at the White House and became depressed. In July 1993, 48-year-old Foster was found dead of a gunshot wound to his mouth in Fort Marcy Park. While five official government investigations ruled his death a suicide, conspiracy theories persisted, including that there was no exit wound, that the way Hillary Clinton’s chief of staff, Maggie Williams, handled Foster’s files and documents immediately after his death was fishy, and that the Clintons themselves were involved in his death. Strangely, in 2004, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that pictures of the scene and autopsy should not be released.

THE INFAMOUS LAUNDRY LIST

Well, what a coincidence! The following year, 1993, the Clinton Body Count List made its debut, asserting that both Bill and Hillary Clinton  had secretly had their political opponents murdered, often making it look like suicides. At the time, the list totaled 50 victims, but since then has ballooned, with political consultant and lobbyist Roger Stone asserting that the Clintons were responsible for the deaths of dozens of people, including Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and John F. Kennedy Jr.

A BULLET HOLE?

Ron Brown

On April 3, 1996, Ron Brown, 54, a lawyer, former Navy Captain, politician and lobbyist who was the United States secretary of commerce during President Clinton’s first term, and before that the chairman of the Democratic National Committee was killed, along with 34 others, in a 1996 plane crash in Croatia. The Air Force attributed the crash to pilot error and a poorly designed landing approach, but conspiracists suspected a coverup because Brown was under investigation for corruption and because doctors conducting an autopsy found a circular wound on top of his head, which they discounted as a bullet hole, but that others theorized was indeed a bullet hole.

MURDERED?

Andrew Breitbart

After helping The Huffington Post and The Drudge Report get off the ground, conservative journalist Andrew Breitbart founded Breitbart News, which was credited with exposing the Anthony Weiner texting scandal and the alleged vote-rigging of ACORN, among other blockbuster news events. Previously left leaning, he changed his political views, describing himself as “85% conservative and 15% libertarian.” He took on liberal icons like Nancy Pelosi, and hours after Sen. Ted Kennedy died in August 2009, Breitbart called him a “villain”, a “duplicitous bastard”, …and “a special pile of human excrement”, adding, “Sorry, he destroyed lives. And he knew it,” referring to Kennedy’s actions during the Chappaquiddick incident, the Robert Bork Supreme Court nomination, and the Clarence Thomas Supreme Court nomination. On February 29, 2012, Breitbart collapsed on a street near his home in Brentwood and died the next day at the age of 43 of heart failure, according to an autopsy. And eerily, just a couple of weeks later, the coroner who worked on his body died by poisoning. But in the International Business Times, journalist Amanda Remling wrote in an article entitled “Andrew Breitbart Cause of Death: Was He Assassinated?” She reported that, “Right before the blogger’s death he claimed to have videos that showed President Obama’s ties to radicals in the 1980s. The videos are going to come out, Breitbart had said. The narrative is going to come out that Barack Obama met a bunch of silver ponytails back in the 1980s like Bill [Ayers] and Bernadine Dorhn who, equally radical, said ‘One day we’re going to have the presidency.’”

PUNISHED?

Seth Rich

On July 10, 2016, at 4:18 a.m., Seth Rich, an employee of the Democratic National Convention, was shot two times in the back, rushed to a nearby hospital where he died at the age of 27. According to writer Mark Oliver, “rumors and theories started to spread about why a young man in the prime of his life had met his end on a dark street in Washington, D.C. The police said it was an attempted robbery gone wrong, but hard evidence discounted that theory. However, stories soon started to spread that Seth’s death was planned, and that he was the man who had leaked the Democratic Party’s e-mails to Wikileaks,” a website cofounded by Julian Assange, whose past and present involve both creativity and imprisonment. According to this website, “Wikileaks has never officially said that Rich was the source of their leak, but they have done pretty much everything they can to suggest it.”

THE GRACE OF GOD

President Donald J. Trump

And they still haven’t found out who ordered the hit––twice! ––on President Trump!

TARGET?

Ghislaine Maxwell

A wealthy and educated European-born-and-raised socialite, Maxwell moved to New York in 1990 after her father, media mogul Robert Maxwell, bought the New York Daily News and chose her to act as his emissary. She is famous for collaborating with the financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on his island home in the Caribbean, where people were flown on his airplane “the Lolita Express.” In court documents, Epstein’s accusers allege that Maxwell acted as a recruiter, an instructor, and in some cases a participant in the abuse he practiced. In 2021, she was found guilty of child sex trafficking and other offenses and sentenced to 20 years’ imprisonment.

Now, the House Oversight Committee and the U.S. Department of Justice has summoned Maxwell to testify. But mmmmm…. House breaks early when the Epstein issue comes up!

If there is no Epstein client list, as Attorney General Bondi and President Trump have pronounced, Maxwell can waltz into D.C. with no bodyguards and no worries. But if there is a list, we have to ask ourselves: What could possibly go wrong?

As I’ve said in many articles, this is the short list. But it makes you wonder, doesn’t it, if all the lofty verbiage our politicians express about their intentions to better our lives is simply a glib coverup for the criminality they routinely engage in.

The infiltration is real, and the stakes are apocalyptic. Muslim candidates in U.S. elections don’t just campaign for office – they’re executing a calculated strategy to subvert American values and impose Sharia law. These wolves in sheep’s clothing present as moderates, cloaking their true intentions in promises of unity and progress. Once elected, they unleash an Islamification agenda that erodes freedom, undermines the Constitution, and reshapes communities into enclaves of Islamic dominance. The evidence is undeniable, the patterns are clear, and the consequences are catastrophic. Below is a thunderous expose of their tactics, backed by concrete examples and a catalog of their insidious practices.

The Deception: Campaigning as Moderates, Governing as Radicals

Muslim candidates master the art of deception, running campaigns that mimic American values while hiding their allegiance to Sharia. They speak of equality, community, and justice, but their actions in office betray a relentless push for Islamification. The Muslim Brotherhood’s playbook – proven in Egypt and Tunisia – guides their strategy: blend in, win trust, then strike. This isn’t speculation; it’s a documented pattern seen across U.S. elections.

• Keith Ellison (Minnesota, 2006-Present): Elected as the first Muslim U.S. Congressman, Ellison swore his oath on a Quran, signaling his priorities. While campaigning as a progressive Democrat, he has pushed policies that align with Islamist goals, including advocating for Palestinian causes over American interests and downplaying the threat of radical Islam. His ties to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a group with documented Hamas connections, reveal his agenda. Ellison’s tenure has helped normalize Islamic influence in Congress, paving the way for others to follow.
• Ilhan Omar (Minnesota, 2018-Present): Omar ran as a champion of social justice, but her record demonstrates anti-American tendencies. She dismisses concerns about Sharia law, calling them “Islamophobic,” while advocating for resolutions that undermine national security, like opposing Trump’s travel ban on terror-prone nations. Her public statements – such as downplaying 9/11 as “some people did something” – show a reluctance to confront Islamic extremism. Omar’s district in Minneapolis now experiences practices similar to Sharia, with businesses adopting sex-segregated spaces and halal mandates.
• Rashida Tlaib (Michigan, 2018-Present): Tlaib’s campaign leaned on her working-class roots, but her actions in office prioritize Palestinian activism and Islamic interests. She’s fought against anti-Sharia legislation, framing it as bigotry, while her district in Dearborn becomes a hub for Sharia-compliant governance. Local councils increasingly cater to Muslim demands, from prayer rooms in public schools to halal food mandates in city facilities. Tlaib’s rhetoric fuels division, accusing critics of her faith of hatred while advancing policies that erode secular governance.
• Amer Ghalib (Hamtramck, Michigan, 2021-Present): As mayor of America’s first Muslim-majority city, Ghalib campaigned as a unifier but governs with an iron fist. His endorsement of Trump in 2024 was a calculated move to exploit conservative frustration, yet his policies mirror Sharia’s influence. Hamtramck’s council banned Pride flags and restricted non-Islamic displays, citing “community values.” Ghalib’s leadership has turned the city into a testing ground for Islamic governance, with public spaces bowing to religious edicts.

The Practices: How They Advance Islamification

Once elected, these candidates deploy an arsenal of tactics to entrench Islamic influence. Their playbook is methodical, leveraging political power to reshape laws, culture, and institutions. Here’s how they do it:

1. Legislative Creep: They introduce bills that seem innocuous but pave the way for Sharia. Examples include resolutions against “Islamophobia” that silence criticism of Islam, weakening free speech. Omar and Tlaib have backed such measures, framing dissent as hate to shield their agenda.
2. Community Control: They transform local governance by prioritizing Muslim interests. In Dearborn and Hamtramck, councils now mandate halal options in schools and public events, while public spaces accommodate sex-segregated facilities. These aren’t cultural accommodations – they’re steps toward Sharia’s dominance.
3. Exploiting Victimhood: They weaponize accusations of bigotry to deflect scrutiny. When challenged on Sharia or ties to radical groups, they cry “Islamophobia,” shutting down debate. Ellison’s defense of CAIR and Omar’s attacks on critics exemplify this tactic.
4. Building Alliances with Radicals: They align with groups like CAIR and Jetpac, which funnel resources to Muslim candidates and push Islamist agendas. CAIR’s 2024 voter guide explicitly calls for Muslim political dominance, not integration.
5. Incremental Sharia Implementation: They push for policies that align with Islamic law under the guise of inclusivity. Examples include advocating for Islamic banking laws, prayer rooms in public buildings, and exemptions from secular regulations for Muslim businesses. Minneapolis schools now allow prayer breaks, disrupting schedules for all students.
6. Foreign Policy Manipulation: They prioritize Muslim-majority nations’ interests over America’s. Omar and Tlaib’s vocal support for Palestine and criticism of U.S. allies like Israel shift foreign policy toward Islamist goals, weakening national security.
7. Cultural Erosion: They promote Islamic norms in public spaces, from dress codes to religious observances. In Hamtramck, non-Muslims face pressure to conform to Islamic practices, with businesses adopting halal standards and public events centered on Islamic holidays.

The Evidence: A Pattern of Betrayal

The Islamification process isn’t theoretical – it’s happening now. In 2022, 89 Muslim candidates won seats across the U.S., with groups like Jetpac boasting of their growing influence. By 2024, Michigan’s Muslim voters – 200,000 strong – tipped the presidential election, proving their electoral muscle. Cities like Dearborn and Hamtramck are no longer American; they’re becoming Sharia enclaves where non-Muslims are marginalized. Schools prioritize Islamic holidays, businesses enforce halal standards, and councils bend to religious demands.

Globally, the pattern is even clearer. In the UK, Muslim candidates won seats in 2024 by exploiting Gaza tensions, overturning Labor strongholds with sectarian campaigns. In Tunisia and Egypt, Muslim Brotherhood candidates posed as democrats only to impose Sharia once in power, banning dissent and enforcing religious law. America is next unless we act.

These candidates aren’t here to assimilate – they’re here to conquer. Their moderate masks hide a ruthless agenda to replace American law with Sharia’s tyranny. Every election is a battlefield, and every vote for them is a surrender. Americans must wake up, expose their tactics, and reject them at the ballot box. Demand transparency, scrutinize their ties to groups like CAIR, and fight for the Constitution with unrelenting fury. The wolves are at the gate – drive them back before it’s too late.

July 29, 2025

This is an article I wrote a few years ago; I added 13 words to one sentence. Today, everything I wrote is now becoming obvious. I am re-running it because I was just warned that I am getting too close to exposing the dangers we have been wrapped up in for decades. They are now coming to fruition, and it isn’t the future any sane person desires. There is no time to lose – join or start a Freedom Pod now while you can.

Agenda21/2030 use interlocking 3 Es – Economic Prosperity, Ecological Integrity, and Social Equity (or in ethical language Eugenics, Eviction, and Enslavement) to define the goal of Sustainable Development.

Economic Prosperity

To achieve the so-called Economic Prosperity, the plan requires that those who control the world, in the words of the late Rosa Koire, they must first “inventory and control all land, all water, all minerals, all plants, all animals, all construction, all means of production, all energy, all education, all information, and all human beings in the world.”

To control all human beings in the world, they will first have to reduce the population. There is no way the global elites would be able to control 8 billion people And, there is no way they could feed that many. But they have no plans to feed even half that many. To “cure starvation” their answer is to get rid of those who are already starving along with most of the middle class. We are no longer needed nor wanted. And, we are the class that will not go willingly.

Overpopulation is a root problem of all the environmental  issues. If you can control the population, you can control almost anything. Rinkesh Kukreja, Founder – Conserve Energy Future

It’s terrible to have to say this. World population must be stabilized and to do that we must eliminate 350,000 people per day. Jacques Cousteau speaking at UNESCO, Nov. 1991

A 2009 study titled “Reproduction and the carbon legacies of individuals,” looked at the relationship between population growth and global warming. It determined that the “carbon legacy” of just one child can produce 20 times more greenhouse gas than a person will save by driving a high-mileage car, recycling, using energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs, etc. “Clearly, the potential savings from reduced reproduction are huge compared to the savings that can be achieved by changes in lifestyle,” Global Population SPEAKOUT, Paris 2015

The preamble to Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development reads:

This Agenda is a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity. It also seeks to strengthen universal peace in larger freedom. We recognize that eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimension, including extreme poverty, is the greatest global challenge and an indispensable requirement for sustainable development. (emphasis mine).

The global elite feel quite sure that they will attain all 17 goals of Agenda 2030 in the allotted time. How do they plan to eradicate poverty in all its forms and dimensions, including extreme poverty, eradicated worldwide by 2030? We are watching it before our eyes.

• the annual abortion rate worldwide is 73 million.

• The UK Medicine Regulator has confirmed that over a period of nineteen months the Covid-19 Vaccines have caused at least 5.5x as many deaths as all other available vaccines combined in the past 21 years.

This means that when compared side by side, the Covid-19 injections are a shocking 7,402%/75x more deadly than every other vaccine available in the UK.

• Bill Gates, China, and other globalist parties (including BlackRock and Vanguard are buying up U.S. farm and ranch land.

• China has bought over 1 million hectares (over 2 ½ million acres) of ranchland in South and Central America.

(What does buying up ranch and farm land have to do with population reduction? That land is now no longer and will not be producing for the general population.)

• Food production plants and agricultural operations are being burned down almost daily.

• The World Economic Forum’s agenda is to stop growth and decide what industries to shut down. People out of work will starve sooner, but the rest of us are slated to be ashes, fertilizer for forests, or perhaps even soylent green for those not yet taken out.

• 87,000 new IRS agents are being sought who were to “carry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force” (yes, those words were on the IRS jobs webpage until the backlash spurred the IRS to remove the words (but is the requirement still there?). We should not be surprised that an unconstitutional amendment must be backed up by force.

Because immoral liars and wannabe world tyrants are running our country, we, (mostly the middle class) are the only ones still ruled by a moral compass. Thus, we are the targets.

Quotes re eugenics:

The most important question in 21st-century economics may well be, ‘What should we do with all the superfluous people, once we have highly intelligent non-conscious algorithms that can do almost everything better than humans?‘ Yuval Noah Harari, assistant to Klaus Schwab

In order to arrest or reverse Climate Change you’ve got to stabilize the population, and hopefully, reduce the population by having a one child family for a hundred years. Get population back down to about two to two and a half billion people. Ted Turner

If you haven’t given voluntary human extinction much thought before, the idea of a world with no people in it may seem strange. But, if you give it a chance, I think you might agree that the extinction of Homo sapiens would mean survival for millions, if not billions of Earth-dwelling species. . . . Phasing out the human race will solve every problem, on earth, social and environmental” Les U. Knight, Wild Earth, Vol. 1, No 2 (Summer1991), p.72

The Earth as we know it will not survive without drastic measures. . . .the only feasible solution to saving the Earth is to reduce the population to 10 percent of the present number. Professor Pianka, University of Texas, 2006

So, Economic Prosperity is not for the poor or the middle class. And it probably isn’t for a lot of the upper class. With the few useful idiots the Global Elite need, combined with their robots and artificial intelligence, they expect to live happily ever after. They haven’t read the end of the book: Marxism only destroys. It can only kill them, also. But I have hopes that they won’t get that far.

Ecological Integrity

Try to nail down the definition of Ecological Integrity. The closest I got is from Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 3, Issue4/e411”The integrity of ecosystems is a property that contemporary conservation biologists and restoration ecologists believe that they can observe and measure, and integrity is often cited as a good reason for taking specific actions, including protecting high-integrity areas and intervening to increase integrity by reintroducing lost species, removing non-natives, and adjusting abiotic elements.”

Under this label lies an enormous amount of anti-human action. The framework for “Ecological Integrity” is the Wildlands Project (brainchild of Dave Foreman^[1] and Reed Noss), now the Wildlands Network. Under the guise of saving endangered species. The legal framework for the plan is found in Article 8a-e of the Convention on Biological Diversity. Working in tandem with the Biosphere Reserve Program, a 1971 creation of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, Cultural Organization (UNESC0), the Wildlands Project gained an instant international position and became the basis for the U.N.’s Convention on Biodiversity.

• Like the two parts of Agenda 21 • the need to transfer power from Congress to the executive branch (why Congress has been irrelevant, other than to keep us distracted from where the real crimes are being perpetrated). And[1]
• that government employees need to be empowered, i.e., “a transfer of power from Congress to the bureaucracy, the Wildlands Project laid down the blueprint for the reorganization of human society, and the other Convention on Biodiversity detailed how it was to be done.

Simply put, the Wildland Project is divided into 21 Bioregions, which then were divided into three zones:

1. Wilderness area, designated as habitat of plants and animals; human habitation and use or intrusion are forbidden.
2. Buffer zones surrounding the wilderness areas. Limited, and strictly controlled, human access is permitted within this zone.
3. Cooperation zones, the only zones where humans are permitted to live.

The late Dr. Michael Coffman noted the strategy to implement such reserves and corridors would include:

• Start with a seemingly innocent-sounding program like the “World Heritage Areas in Danger”. For example: Bring all human activity under regulation in a 14-18 million acre buffer zone around Yellowstone National Park.

• Next, declare all federal land (except Indian reservations) as buffers, along with private land that is within federal administration boundaries.

• Next, extend the U.S. Heritage corridor buffer zone concept along major river systems. Begin to convert critical federal lands and ecosystems to reserves.

• Finally, convert all U.S. Forest Service, grasslands, and wildlife refuges to reserves. Add missing reserves and corridors so that 50% of the landscape is preserved.

• Each of the 21 bioregions will be governed by a bioregion council.

• ”When the councils come into play, local, state, and national government will not be able to interfere with their governance. It will be under the strong arm of the UN Environmental organizations such as the Sierra Club, Nature Conservancy or other Green organizations which will be given the green light (to be) the enforcement arm of these councils at the local level.” (Karen Lee Bixman, “The Takings of America)

Other asymmetrical warfare means of taking land are:

• by denying water and/or grazing rights to farmers and ranchers or limiting their use of pesticides and herbicides, which in turn will force the farmers and ranchers out of business, causing the land to possibly fall into the hands of the federal government.

• when Wilderness Areas, Parks, etc. are established. Not only the land is out of production, but, the mineral resources underground or forest above can also be made off-limits for development.

• by expanding the legal definition of a wetland. By making any trickle of water or puddle a wetland, the EPA can prevent the development of the land and all the land around it. This makes the land worth less and easy to acquire by sundry entities including the government.

• when an endangered species is located within a forest. Then large areas around this area are made off-limits to development, and once again, the land loses its value and is easily acquired by government.

• by the direct taking of land through eminent domain.

… when Road RIP, a non-governmental organization, was created for the sole purpose of removing existing roads and preventing the construction of new roads into wilderness areas. Then humans are locked away from land that was once served by roadways.

… when urban boundaries are created around a town, beyond which development may not occur and/or utilities may not be provided. This will destroy the economic value of the rural lands around the town. Comprehensive Land Use Plans in existence today and their policies are creating this scenario.

…  when the government declares land part of a flood plain, then forces the homeowners to give up their homes. The homes are then destroyed and the land is not allowed to be developed. The government gets a 2-fer if the land is along a river.  Then, not only is the land off-limits to development, the government has total control of the river and the priceless water it contains.

… when a land trust purchases private property rights from a land owner for promises from the land owner to do certain environmentally friendly things. In return the land owner and his heirs are then able to stay on this land in perpetuity – that is until the trust decides they want the property – lock, stock, and barrel.

Social Equity

“The social equity dimension of sustainability refers to how burdens and benefits of different policy actions are distributed in a community. The more evenly they are distributed, the more equitable the community is, and this even distribution is reflected in economic, ecologic, and social outcomes.” Google

That definition is communism. And the global elite wish us to see it more in that light than what they are doing under the sobriquet of social justice.

I see equity now being used as a whipping tool against, depending on the day, anything that doesn’t line up with the Marxist, Cancel Culture neo-shibboleth of the day. So, every day, white, male, Christians, children who are still the sex they were born are unacceptable. For a while, it was the founding fathers and other heroes who helped form America. Those are, mostly on the trash heaps and in the burned book piles.

It is also being used to attempt to order that in every business and field of endeavor, be filled by the proportional equivalent of the general population. Has anyone checked the proportions of those classes in the Global Elite?

Plus, somehow equity has become the definition of “if you are anti-free market economics you can plunder businesses; if you are an illegal alien, you can be set free (because it was racist to put you in jail for murder), and you can go murder some more. Keep in mind, that this helps on the E for Eugenics.

Once we are all equal – equally stupid, equally poor, equally non-property owners, we are slaves – owned by the Global Elite.

Washington State Supreme Court Justice Richard B. Sanders said it best:

“Property in a thing consists not merely in its ownership and possession, but in the unrestricted right of use, enjoyment, and disposal. Anything which destroys any of the elements of property, to that extent, destroys the property itself. The substantial value of property lies in its use. If the rights u use be denied, the value of the property is annihilated, and ownership is rendered a barren right.

What we are seeing in social justice is being made into slaves by our fellow citizens who are going right down that road with us – they just don’t realize it. Don’t pity them, they deserve it. We don’t.

If, as Mattias Desmet says in The Psychology of Totalitarianism, it takes no more than 30% of the population to fall sway to “mass formation spurred by a singular, focused, crisis narrative that forbids dissident views and relies on destructive groupthink.” Ponder that as you recount the past two years.

Then, please, let’s hear the lion roar – all 60+% of us.

President Obama’s grandiose Marxist plans are in serious jeopardy. His subversive role in Russia-gate has led to a renewed focus on his other deceptions, many having to do with his curious family background and lifestyle, none of which was examined by the FBI. My recent interview with his former associate John C. Drew about his gay lifestyle and involvement in drugs and my interview of private investigator Susan Daniels about Obama’s questionable identity documents have led to even more questions about whose interests he was serving while U.S. president.

But Obama’s “fundamental transformation” of the United States was not his only agenda item. After he left office in the United States, he worked with Justin Trudeau in Canada to take down conservative Stephen Harper’s government. Today, Prime Minister Trudeau is also a thing of the past, and his replacement, liberal globalist Mark Carney, may be out the door as well, leading to the conservative provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan breaking away and perhaps joining with the United States as a new, 51^st state.

In this way, the United States could acquire another conservative or red state with two more conservative Senators.

This is happening because President Trump has imposed long-justified tariffs on various Canadian goods and more tariffs are being threatened if Mark Carney doesn’t agree to a deal by Friday, August 1. Conservatives in Canada are already calling him “Marx Carnage” for his failure to accommodate the country’s largest trading partner, the United States, and keeping Canada on an economic track that puts its future in the hands of the communist Chinese.

Tragically, Canada is a failed state with very little national defense capability that has been sucking America dry through a series of unfair trade practices that President Trump is now trying to dismantle.

On my Rumble channel, I have been interviewing various Canadian conservative representatives about the situation north of the border, where just over the weekend a Christian missionary by the name of Sean Feucht from the United States was denied public venues to hold his Christian concerts to bring people to the Gospel.  Authorities even fined a church that gave him a platform to spread his message.

In Canada, it is a potential criminal offense to be critical of abortion, homosexuality, and transgenderism.

On my latest show, Canadian Army veteran Lloyd Leugner discussed how the advance of communism in Canada was clearly visible in the cancellation of the attempts by American Christian musician Sean Feucht to perform and bring people to Christ. Montreal police even raided a church where he was supposed to perform.

As a result of Canada’s descent into communism, Leugner predicts secession by more conservative areas of Canada, such as Alberta.

Carney is a Liberal Party leader just like the Obama clone, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who corrupted Canada through drugs, sexual perversion, and a Muslim invasion. Former drama teacher Trudeau, an admitted pothead, legalized marijuana nationwide, opening up Canada to drug cartels, and he facilitated the transgender revolution in Canadian schools.

Trudeau, who visited mosques and abandoned his Catholic faith on abortion and same-sex marriage, had openly invited foreign Muslims from terror-supporting countries to come to Canada.

On one of my programs, activist Tanya Gaw had described how Canadians of a conservative and Christian persuasion were rising up against “the lie of the left” and Liberal Party and were working to replace it. She said the “conservative” candidate in the national elections, Pierre Poilievre, was a fraud and the country’s only hope was to break through media censorship and eventually elect Maxime Bernier of the People’s Party. She argued that only he could save Canada from destruction and outlined the stakes in my interview with her on America’s Survival TV on the Rumble platform.

At the time, the key questions were:

• Would Canadian conservatives be allowed the freedom to voice their views and concerns?
• Could conservatives in Canada get organized and get enough support from Canadian businesses to make a difference in time to save their nation?

The answer was that the “conservative” candidate in the recent election, Pierre Poilievre, was a dud who failed to rally Christians and conservatives. He decided to join with the liberals in bashing the United States over the tariffs and lost to Carney. But now, under Carney’s regime, conservatives are still organizing and hoping to save their country, even if the more conservative regions must secede.

If all of this is news to you, I recommend an old article by the late conservative journalist Alan Stang. I have posted an article on that topic that he wrote back in 1971 for American Opinion magazine. It gives you the context that you will never get from the corporate media or “fake news” outlets.

Trump’s proposal to make Canada the 51^st state was ridiculed at the time he made it. But as events proceed, it is making more sense. Accepting Alberta and Saskatchewan into the United States as that 51^st state make sense from the point of view of those provinces exploiting their natural resources for the benefit of their own people and Americans as well. At the same time, they can save their cultural heritage.

It is a strategy that would also benefit Canadian citizens and safeguard their country in the process.

Citizens of Canada can choose the United Sates or Red China as their friend and patron. We can help them make the right choice. I intend to give them a voice through my Rumble channel that is being denied to them by their own federal government.

July 28, 2025

This past week has been some roller-coaster ride with President Trump dealing with a mountain of problems created by illegitimate president, Hussein Obama, who promised to “transform America” when he ran for president in violation of the U.S. Constitution and old Uncle Joe Biden.

As President Trump has been working long hours every day (at age 79) to improve the lives of Americans and restore our economy and having a serious war with Jerome Powell regarding interest rates.

Initially it was reported Trump was going to fire Jerome Powell, “President Trump has backed off of his threats to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell — for now. “The president appeared to reach a breaking point with Powell last week when he told Republican lawmakers he would likely be nixing the Fed chair soon. But he has since backed off, while officials and outside voices have warned about such a move’s impacts to the markets., July 23, 2025, The Hill

Jerome Powell’s term of Chairman ends in May 2026 but he can remain on the Board of Governor’s until Jan. 2028.

While the cat fight is going on, the real issue is abolishing the privately owned unconstitutional “FED” that creates inflation, deflation, stagflation, recessions and depressions. (Read The Coming Battle) The “FED” is what caught my attention in 1992 and I’ve been writing about it ever since.  If someone would have told me almost 32 years ago my main focus would be the “FED”, I would have laughed myself silly.

Art 2, Section 8, Clause 5 U.S. Constitution; “Congress shall have the power ‘coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the standard of weights and measures”.  This authority is vested only in the U.S Congress.  On April 19, 1982, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that the Federal Reserve Banks are privately owned, locally controlled corporations (Lewis vs United States, 680 F.2d 1239)

In reality what Congress has done to you me, our children and grandchildren is nothing short of what thieving outlaws in the old West did on a daily basis, kissed and blessed by rotten, corrupt members of both parties – most of whom have no understanding of the issue.

“Paper is poverty…it is only the ghost of money, and not money itself.” Thomas Jefferson to Edward Carringon, 1788. ME 7:36.

So few Americans have any understanding (like me) until I became aware of how the “FED” came about, who was behind it and most importantly: what is fiat currency? How do you create “money” out of thin air?  It’s not just “We the People”, the profound ignorance by members of Congress (AOC at the top): regarding one of the most important things in his country, our currency, is inexcusable.

In doing a ton of learning and research I read a lot of old dusty books the robber barons hope most wouldn’t read.  One of them was Secrets of the Temple by William Greider.  Testimony at the House Banking Committee, Oct. 7, 1993;

“The veil of secrecy certainly does enhance the mystique surrounding the Fed and the general ignorance about it.  Otherwise confident and intelligent people including members of Congress – defer to the Fed’s wisdom mainly because they do not understand it.  They are understandably intimidated by its mystery and power.

“And, as every governor freely acknowledged to me, the Fed also makes mistakes just like the rest of us mortals.  The difference is that the mistakes can have devastating impact on the lives and fortunes of millions.  It can sink viable business enterprises and force debtors to the wall and put millions of people out of jobs.  It can reward some investors and punish others.

“Given these vast powers, it is fatuous to pretend that the Federal Reserve can somehow be insulated from politics.  And, indeed, it is not.  As any candid governor will tell you, the institution is bombarded constantly with pleas and demands and unsolicited advice from selected interests.

“As a matter of style, lobbying the Fed is done more delicately and discreetly than, say, lobbying Congress or the White House, but the private and semi-private dialogues surrounding monetary policy go on continuously – between the Fed and financial markets, bank and brokerages and other major players, both foreign and domestic.

“The only players who are let out of this conversation are the American people and to a large extent their elected representatives.  Instead, they are provided a frustrating stream of evasive euphemisms and opaque jargon and platitudinous generalities and, sometimes, even downright deception.

“As more than one Federal Reserve governor confided to me, it would be very difficult – perhaps impossible – for the fed to have an honest discussion of monetary policy with Congress or the public because the level of ignorance is so profound.”

No?  One of the most fascinating and historical books I’ve read and wrote about in a column is Debt Ceiling Battle – More of the Same, May 1, 2023 (Doesn’t this remind you of the ‘big beautiful bill’, spending and waste?)

It’s a long story but let me give you a few excerpts from All The Presidents’ Bankers:  The Hidden Alliances That Drive American Power by Nomi Prins.  The author has done an amazing favor for Americans.  Besides the Table of Chapters, she provides the names of key bankers and a quick bio on each one which is quite important.

Then The Original 1929 “Big Six”, all banks you will recognize and then Key Political Officials.  At the end of Prins’ book is a mammoth list of notes for source references and finally a very helpful Index. The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve by G. Edward Griffin is also considered one of the most important and bestselling books on this issue.

How many times have we heard from Democrats (in Congress or the White House) how greedy the banks are and how none of them want anything to do with Wall Street?  Do you remember back in 2011, the Occupy Wall Street 59-day shout-out about economic inequality, big money in politics from the banks?

Well, who was president back then?  Oh, that’s right.  We didn’t have one as Hussein Obama was ineligible to run for the presidency.  He simply usurped the office through fraud and deceit while Republicans trembled and did nothing for fear of being called a racist.  The Constitution no longer matters to a huge percentage of Americans including elected officials; local and state to Congress including state and federal judges.

All The Presidents’ Bankers, pg 411: “Bankers believed Democratic candidate Barack Obama would help them more than his opponent, John McCain – particularly at Goldman Sachs, Obama’s largest corporate contributor for the 2008 election.”  Pg. 412: “In classic Democratic Party fashion, Obama promised to “reign in Wall Street forces and their risky practices” while taking their contribution money.”  Wonder how many of the Occupy Wall St. protesters voted for Obama?

What makes Prins’ book so extraordinary (I couldn’t stop reading) is the massive amount of research she did, second only to Dr. Edwin Vieira’s, Pieces of Eight – The Monetary Powers and Disabilities of the United States Constitution; A Study in Constitutional Law which should have won a Pulitzer Prize in Economics. (Read at Internet Archives)

Much of what Prins writes I already knew but not a whole lot of early history; or have forgotten since school days if it was even taught. Prins meticulously explains for anyone to understand the world of banking shenanigans and crimes.  She uses the actual words from major players in their letters and meetings. After the Federal Reserve Banking Act of 1913 was passed, it’s all gone to hell over the decades.

Scheming on the part of the biggest banking tycoons is eye-popping.  How they manipulate presidents and Congress to see things their way in order to accumulate unimaginable wealth.  In reality, presidents wanted to use the bankers, too.  A big incestuous cabal.  But what goes up, must come down.

President Andrew Jackson took on the robber banker barons:

“You are a den of viper and thieves.  I intend to rout you out.”  Jackson was discussing the recharter of the Second Bank of the United State. 1832.  WH Archives:

“Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and other Whig leaders proclaimed themselves defenders of popular liberties against the usurpation of Jackson. Hostile cartoonists portrayed him as King Andrew I. [Note: Now President Trump is called Hitler and other nonsense.]

“Behind their accusations lay the fact that Jackson, unlike previous Presidents, did not defer to Congress in policy-making but used his power of the veto and his party leadership to assume command.

“The greatest party battle centered around the Second Bank of the United States, a private corporation but virtually a government-sponsored monopoly. When Jackson appeared hostile toward it, the Bank threw its power against him.

“Clay and Webster, who had acted as attorneys for the Bank, led the fight for its recharter in Congress. “The bank,” Jackson told Martin Van Buren, “is trying to kill me, but I will kill it!” Jackson, in vetoing the recharter bill, charged the Bank with undue economic privilege.

“His views won approval from the American electorate; in 1832 he polled more than 56 percent of the popular vote and almost five times as many electoral votes as Clay.

“Jackson met head-on the challenge of John C. Calhoun, leader of forces trying to rid themselves of a high protective tariff.

“When South Carolina undertook to nullify the tariff, Jackson ordered armed forces to Charleston and privately threatened to hang Calhoun. Violence seemed imminent until Clay negotiated a compromise: tariffs were lowered and South Carolina dropped nullification.”

Simply explained and screwed again.  (Deceased) Congressman John William Wright Patman’s words from a speech he made on September 290, 1941, entered into the Congressional Record. Patman was a Democrat who sat on the United States House Committee on Banking and Currency.  He was always after the “Federal” Reserve.  (Emphasis mine)

“When our Federal Government, that has the exclusive power to create money, creates that money and then goes into the open market and borrows it and pays interest for the use of its own money, it occurs to me that that is going too far. I have never yet had anyone who could, through the use of logic and reason, justify the Federal Government borrowing the use of its own money… I am saying to you in all sincerity, and with all the earnestness that I possess, it is absolutely wrong for the Government to issue interest-bearing obligations. It is not only wrong: it is extravagant. It is not only extravagant, it is wasteful. It is absolutely unnecessary.

“Now, take the Panama Canal bonds. They amounted to a little less than $50,000,000 — $49,800,000. By the time they are paid, the Government (OUR tax dollars) will have paid $75,000,000 in interest on bonds of less than $50,000,000. So the Government is paying out $125,000,000 to obtain the use of $49,800,000. That is the way it has worked all along. That is our policy. That is our system. The question is: Should that policy be continued? Is it sane? Is it reasonable? Is it right, or is it wrong? If it is wrong, it should be changed.

“The Constitution of the United States does not give the banks the power to create money. The Constitution says that Congress shall have the power to create money, but now, under our system, we will sell bonds to commercial banks and obtain credit from those banks.

“I believe the time will come when people will demand that this be changed. I believe the time will come in this country when they will actually blame you and me and everyone else connected with this Congress for sitting idly by and permitting such an idiotic system to continue. I make that statement after years of study.

“We have what is known as the Federal Reserve Bank System. That system is not owned by the Government. Many people think that it is, because it says `Federal Reserve’. It belongs to the private banks, private corporations. So we have farmed out to the Federal Reserve Banking System that is owned exclusively, wholly, 100 percent by the private banks — we have farmed out to them the privilege of issuing the Government’s money. If we were to take this privilege back from them, we could save the amount of money that I have indicated in enormous interest charges.” *End*

Full text of “Congressman McFadden on the Federal Reserve Corporation” May 23, 1933: “Mr. Chairman, we have in this Country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks, hereinafter called the Fed. The Fed has cheated the Government of these United States and the people of the United States out of enough money to pay the Nation’s debt. The depredations and iniquities of the Fed has cost enough money to pay the National debt several times over.

“This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the people of these United States, has bankrupted itself, and has practically bankrupted our Government. It has done this through the defects of the law under which it operates, through the maladministration of that law by the Fed and through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it.” Rest at link.

President Trump appears to have changed his mind about firing Jerome Powell.  Likely one or more of his attorneys explained the process regarding the Fed’s Board of Directors and the legal process.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell accused of lying to Congress over $2.5B ‘Palace of Versailles’ HQ revamp, June 30, 2025

President Trump then goes on a tour with Jerome Powell on July 24, 2025, to see the new golden palace being renovated using debt since OUR treasury currently is $36.2 TRILLION in debt!  President Trump posted this on his Truth Social: (WHAT?)

“It was a Great Honor to tour the Renovation (and some new Construction!) of the Federal Reserve Building with Chairman Jerome Powell, Senator Tim Scott, and others. It’s got a long way to go, would have been much better if it were never started, but it is what it is and, hopefully, it will be finished ASAP. The cost overruns are substantial but, on the positive side, our Country is doing very well and can afford just about anything — Even the cost of this building!”

Perhaps President Trump is giving Powell enough rope to hang himself (metaphor) with a big smile.

We’ll never be financially independent, stop being raped in interest to rent our own hard-earned dollars – and stop all the fake “money” being spent on wars in foreign lands until the “Fed” is abolished.  YOUR children will grow up drowning in borrowed debt so CON-gress can spend borrowed debt and then borrow more for unconstitutional cabinets, agencies and  programs while overlooking the massive fraud and waste.

Of course, CON-gress refuses to even consider cutting off the chains around our neck. It’s nice Sen. Rand Paul and a few others have been calling for a full audit of the “Fed” but that can be done AFTER the Federal Reserve Banking Act of 1913 is abolished and its physical assets sold off with the money going to the people’s purse, the U.S. Treasury.

It’s most unfortunate President Trump literally hates Rep. Thomas Massie for not voting for more spending over the years. Once again, Rep. Massie has another bill that will die in December:

1. R. 1846: To abolish the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal reserve banks, to repeal the Federal Reserve Act, and for other purposes.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, March 5, 2025

Mr. Massie (for himself, Mr. Biggs of Arizona, Ms. Boebert, Mr. Burlison, Mrs. Cammack, Mr. Cloud, Mr. Crane, Ms. Greene of Georgia, Ms. Hageman, Mr. Perry, and Mr. Roy) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Financial Services

A BILL

To abolish the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal reserve banks, to repeal the Federal Reserve Act, and for other purposes. *Rest at link* It has all of 10 cosponsors and as usual, my Rep. Jodie Arrington isn’t one of them.

Massie isn’t the first:  2007 – H.R.2755 introduced by then Rep. Ron Paul: To abolish the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal reserve banks, to repeal the Federal Reserve Act, and for other purposes.  O co-sponsors.

I bring this up because tens of millions of Americans hope many of President Trump’s EO’s will become law and recorded in the Federal Register.  Tragically for our country, partisan judges have declared war again against Trump’s EO’s and authority as defined in the Constitution.

We tend to think of “conformity” and “rebellion” as opposite forms of behavior. Yet rebellion and conformity, in their usual form, are actually two sides of the same syndrome. Both are responses to pressure that keep the victim reacting to, and therefore “conforming” to, the pressure source.

There is a third way of dealing with pressure that involves neither rebellion nor conformity, which allows a person to fully develop his innate potential, without outside interference.

Injustice drives people to rebel­lion—injustice in politics, in the home, in education, in the dog-­eat-dog business world—in a system based on legality rather than on fairness, common sense, and decency.

And yet the usual form of rebellion is not a rea­sonable response; it is an unreasonable response to unreasonable pressure, and in our rebellion we are all overtly or quietly going mad.

There is a creative rebellion, a rebel­lion without emotion, judgment, or re­sentment, a rebellion that consists sim­ply of the poised observation of what is. But few know about this correct rebellion, because early in life we get sucked into a destructive one that works against our best interests.

Even the most quiet, sticky-sweet people are secretly violent, which manifests in their victims as expressed violence. What I am saying is that society is made up of the obviously rotten and the apparently good, each type perpet­uating the system that produces rebels and conformists.

Rebellion arises against cruel author­ity, but behind such authority stands hypocrisy. The real sinners are not the rebels but those who drive them to re­bellion—the wolves in sheep’s cloth­ing: cruel parents, teachers, preachers, bureaucrats, and the downright crimi­nals hiding behind the cloaks of station and legality.

Rebellion can never free you so long as strong emotion is involved, simply because the emotion which converts your discernment of the injustice be­fore you into a judgment of it, causes you then to become secretly subject to the injustice. The hostility that accom­panies your judgment transfers to you the character and behavioral disorders of those against whom you would rebel.

For example, when you resent (judge) another’s judgment of you, in the process you become like the one who judged you: judgmental. Being judgmental then prevents your effec­tively rebelling. You cannot correct the system because you are reflecting it­—beginning to be what you were rebel­ling against. Hostility causes you to struggle between the no-win choices of rebellion and conformity.

“rebellion and conformity, in their usual form, are actually two sides of the same syndrome”

As you fail to affect the system for good and as it affects you for ill, your pride, your ego, feels your failure. It steps in and tries to counteract the ef­fect inside you with more emotion, of hate or “love.” That only complicates your dilemma. Your ego does not want to see that you are like those you despise.

Refusing to face this truth, by denying facts and rationalizing, you are now rebelling against the truth in your mind. Again, resentment is at work. The same thing is happening in you that you despise in others.

You see, they are victims too. Long ago, as children, your tormentors were made to doubt the Truth within them, and as they fell from grace, the spirit of pride entered and compelled them to overreact in the extreme to injustices, real and imagined, so as to evolve their “beast.” Rebelling and conforming kept them so preoccupied they did not have to see what was taking place.

An im­planted identity does the same thing to everyone. Resentment, judgment, rebellion, and servitude fixate your mind so completely that all you can think about is getting even with or ahead of those who put you down, from whom you learned to become unjust.

Suppose I wished to make you do something you ordinarily would not do. Taking your rebellious nature into ac­count, I would forbid you to do this or that. Perhaps I would act angry to pressure you, fully knowing you would react by doing just what I have forbidden, which is what I secret­ly wanted you to do.

Anyone can con­trol you in this fashion and you will not detect the deception. Indeed, efforts to persuade you of it will fail, because pride, being the enemy of Truth, rebels against all realization.

Even if, as your manipulator, I told you what I had done to you, you wouldn’t believe me because you would rebel still, against the explanation, rather than accept the truth. And what, may I ask, do you ac­cept when you rebel against Truth? More of the enemy’s will, of course!

So beware of the wicked ones who have discovered (through their own ex­perience) the helplessness of the victim in rebellion, and have learned to ac­quire power through intimidation. All manipulators, whether they realize it or not, are part of an ancient conspiracy against mankind.

The same spirit that in one manipulator establishes doubt and rebellion in you, inhabits another who appears as a buddy—a friend and comforter of “your” cause. It often hap­pens that enemy and “friend” occupy the same body, typically in a schizoid parent who fluctuates between ex­treme moods of rage and “love.”

The cruel, bad mood establishes the mad, rebellious nature; then the kind mood turns around and reinforces the self it put inside you.

God’s Word tells us, in Proverbs Chapter 6, that there are seven things the Lord hates.  In fact, Scripture uses not only the word “hate” but also “abomination.”  Yes, there are things that God hates:  “A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to evil, a false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.”

There are many, today, who will repeat the only things they’ve ever been taught in church:  “God is love,” “Do not judge.”  Most people today, being biblically illiterate, will also mix cultural ideas with Scripture, believing them to BE Scripture.  Such ideas include “social justice,” the LGBTQP+ slogan, “Love is love,” and “My body, my choice,” to name just a few.  Biblical illiteracy is shamefully prevalent and getting worse.  Hating what God hates is biblical, but our Pastors today will never teach you that.

In fact, new research from Barna shows that only 37% of all Christian pastors hold to a biblical worldview.  Here’s how those numbers break down:  41% (less than half) of Senior Pastors have a biblical worldview; 28% of Associate or Assistant Pastors have a biblical worldview; 13% of Teaching Pastors have a biblical worldview; 12% of Children Ministry Leaders and Youth Pastors have a biblical worldview; and only 4% of Executive Pastors have a biblical worldview.

At one time, the people of our nation honored and revered God as our Creator and Sustainer — and held His Word as the Ultimate Truth, something to be studied intensely and taught to our children and grandchildren.  But today, most Americans don’t even know Who God is,  Children are raised in Godless homes, and all the people do what they feel is right.  Proverbs 14:12, “There is a way which seems right to a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”  This is what happens when we create a false god and a false religion in our own imaginations.  Understand: God is not here to serve US.  We’re here to serve and obey HIM.

Today, most people still seek some form of religion.  They just don’t know the one true God of heaven, and they don’t want to know Him…because it would cost them something.  And sadly now, even many church-goers don’t have a clue about God’s Word because they’ve rarely ever read even a portion of it.  Most today only attend weekly services if they get an emotional “high” for having done so.  Others attend out of obligation, tradition or guilt.

Psalm 14, “The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God.  They have all turned aside, they have together become corrupt; There is none who does good, no, not one.”

Today, as we see our nation rotting from the inside out, let’s look again at the things God hates and see how we’re doing.  The first thing listed is “a proud look.”  There’s no doubt that people in America are prideful.  We’re proud of what we should be ashamed of and ashamed of what we should be proud of.  Not all pride is a bad thing, friends.  We can have the pride of satisfaction in a job well done when we work hard and do our best at things, doing everything as unto the Lord.  We can be proud parents, when our children are intelligent, well mannered, respectful and God-honoring.  We can be proud of our Savior, Jesus Christ, eager to share His Gospel with the lost world around us, along with the testimony of how He reached down and saved “a wretch like me.”

But today in America, it’s rare, indeed, to be proud of any of these things.  Instead, we celebrate pride in sodomy, pride in our race (unless we’re white; that’s not allowed), pride in “social justice.”  We’re “proud” to wear our masks and take our shots as we “virtue signal” to the world what wonderful people we are as we obey the agenda of the New World Order and the lies of the media.  We’d do well to remember Proverbs 16:18, “Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.”  Yes, God hates unrighteous pride.  It’s an abomination to Him.

What about “a lying tongue?”  We have plenty of those around in this country today.  Long ago,  it became expected practice for politicians to lie.   The old adage, “if their lips are moving, they’re lying” has never been more true than it is today.  We no longer have “statesmen.”  Now we have career politicians — on both sides of the aisle — engaged in every vile and filthy scheme and backroom deal you can imagine, and they lie to our faces, and they do it pridefully and continually.

But politicians aren’t the only liars.  In John, chapter 8, Jesus confronted the Pharisees — the religious leaders of His day, and the Scribes — the “media” of His day —  and He told them plainly, “You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires.  He was a murderer from the beginning and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him.  When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”  Jesus said this to the Pastors and “Mainstream Media” of His day.  He’d be saying the same thing to most of our modern-day Pastors and reporters as well.  Not very “Christian” of Him, huh?

The fact is, lies swirl all around us.  It takes diligent effort to sort the truth from the lies now, and most people, unfortunately, just can’t be bothered to make the effort.  While pridefulness and lies have been around since the serpent rebelled against God and immediately began lying to Eve, his influence on mankind has expanded exponentially in recent years.  I believe we’re now in the “time of the end” spoken of in Daniel 12, “when many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” 

We have more technology at our fingertips now than ever before in history.  Things our parents could never have conceived of.  Yet all this high tech comes with strings attached: the lies of the devil, fed to us through mainstream, social and even alternative media; through government and health officials; through “public servants” and even through religious organizations masquerading as “Christian.”  We should take heed of Psalm 101:7, “No one who practices deceit shall dwell in My house.”  And an even stronger warning in Revelation 21:8, “But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”   But of course, we don’t READ the Bible anymore… indeed, most Americans are ashamed to admit they even own one.  Again, we’re ashamed of what we should be proud of and thankful for.

Back to Proverbs 6: “Hands that shed innocent blood.”  Oh, how we are guilty of that one!  The shedding of innocent blood has become so commonplace in America today that parents routinely kill their own unborn babies every day.  Now, they want to the freedom to kill babies even after they’re born.  So-called “doctors” may do the actual killing, but the so-called “parents” are the ones paying for the “service.” The politicians are the ones funding it (with our tax dollars) — and regardless of what side they claim to be on, they’re using abortion to keep the blood money flowing into their political coffers.  And the “Christians” and “Pastors” are the ones ignoring it.  You know I’m telling you the truth.

What about the shedding of innocent blood through the planned scam-demic known as COVID?  How many millions died, needlessly, because of the official hospital protocols?  How many millions have been injured, maimed or killed by the experimental shots?  How much innocent blood has been spilled through all of this in the past three years — by prideful, lying “elitists,” censoring the truth and persecuting truth-tellers, while their personal fortunes increased by the billions?  If we were able to see into the spiritual realm, we’d be horrified by the rivers of blood flowing through the streets of every city in America right now.  And again, the Churchmen have been either silent or complicit.

More from Proverbs 6: “A heart that deviseth wicked imaginations.”  You can pretty much fill-in-the-blank with whatever is in today’s headlines on this one.  Event 201.  The COVID mind control cult.  Every three-letter agency entrusted to protect us and uphold the law, instead conspiring against the American people.  Mask mandates.  Jab mandates.  The stolen election of 2020.  The Biden crime family, up to their eyeballs in corruption in Ukraine, China and Russia; the planned destruction of our economy and the American dollar.  The digital one-world currency now being devised by those wicked imaginations.  The orchestrated supply chain collapse; the planned energy “crisis;” the invasion on our southern border; the burning of food processing plants; the destruction of family farms — all borne from hearts that devise wicked imaginations.

“Feet that be swift in running to evil.”  You may not have noticed, because you’re not really supposed to notice — but seriously violent crime is higher than it’s ever been in this country right now.  “Smash and grab” attacks on businesses are commonplace.  Bullets fly daily in our big cities.  Sexual predators are grooming our children wherever our children can be found.  The political elite line their pockets with the blood, sweat and tears of the people they’re supposed to be serving, even as they intentionally create hyperinflation, homelessness, drug abuse, starvation and an economic collapse for the rest of us.

“A false witness that speaketh lies.”  Earlier in Proverbs 6, Scripture simply mentioned “a lying tongue.”  But this one’s personal.  This refers to lies from a false witness, directed toward an innocent person.  I can’t help but think of the January 6 political prisoners… persecuted for simply attending a rally, seeking a redress of grievances and for the rule of law to be upheld.  What about the many well-respected doctors, nurses, scientists and researchers who tried to tell us the truth during COVID and mandatory jabbing?  What about those now warning of Communist, Marxist, Sodomite and Globalist propaganda being spoon-fed to our children — and becoming the “most dangerous domestic terrorists” in the country for speaking up for their own kids?  Not to mention the gossip and slander of neighbor against neighbor and within families that is so commonplace these days.

And finally from Proverbs 6, “he that soweth discord among brethren.”  This, too, is an abomination to the Lord, and He hates it.  The Leftists here in America have been working hard on this one since the days of Obama.  During that administration we hadn’t seen so much discord among Americans in decades.  Blacks were told to hate whites; the LGBTQP+ mafia became emboldened — and even more prideful — as they were handed new special rights, while the rest of us were forced to bow down to the sodomites.  Now today, it’s the Great Reset Agenda against sovereign citizens.  Today’s “special rights” recipients also include “Transgenders,” hailed as the new “heroes” of society. Biden’s only litmus test for the High Court was that it HAD to be a BLACK FEMALE.  More racial division from those who love to sow discord.  And that black female can’t even define what a “woman” is.

And of course, the intentionally “leaked” Supreme Court opinion hinting at overturning Roe v. Wade.  There’s absolutely NO doubt that information was only handed out to further stoke the flames of rage among the God-haters.  Expect another summer of rioting, burning and killing as the Left’s personal army of fascists take to the streets once again.

God doesn’t hate America, but He most certainly does hate what our nation has become, under cowardly “Christian” leadership, and ignorant, apathetic sheep — who are supposed to be the salt and light of this dark world.  God does hate those things He calls “abominations” and they will be our ultimate demise, I have no doubt.  We should also hate the things that God hates.  Yet we’ve been trained to remain silent and “tolerant” as our nation burns.  There is a flicker of hope.  But that hope lies in 2 Chronicles 7:14.  Unfortunately, most of those who call themselves by Jesus’ name couldn’t even find that verse without a smart phone and a Bible app.  Such is the state of American “Christianity” today.  Jesus IS returning.  When He comes, will He find faith in the earth?

Tallahassee Totalllytarians Go After the Reclaim Campaign

Florida is NOT a free state, regardless of the $60k boast of its Governor, as above. Put simply, the Governor who spent taxpayer money to put his name on roadways in 25+ places in the state, does NOT treat his citizens as if they were free. Blows his own carefully crafted image.

Instead, Ron DeSantis’s Republican Party tries to prevent its citizens from free association and query, as you’ve heard me tell many times before.

This time, they are trying to prohibit people from associating with the “Reclaim Campaign”, a group founded around election integrity.

It is clear that operatives in Tallahassee do NOT believe in the Constitution of the United States of America. In this country, under our laws, citizens have the right to free assembly, and free speech. How hard is that to remember?

As many of you know, I have covered many of the un-American activities of the RPOF in the last 18 months or so. Go to my substack, https://www.pat4evr.substack.com and you will find over a dozen articles.

In the last years, the Party organization, led by Chr. Evan Power, and Bill Helmich, named by Power as Interim Executive Director, have unconstitutionally attacked America First Republicans all over the state.

Now, they are doing it again, but first, let me remind you of past events.

*The Florida Republican Assembly (FRA), in April 2024, was issued a “cease and desist” order, to stop using the name, “Republican”, and the symbol of the elephant.

*Duly elected State Committeeman and State Committeewoman, Trent Wayman and Jaquie Heisse from Manatee County were summarily removed from office, using a fabricated lie about a “crime”, and undisclosed examples of “internal turmoil”.

*A long-time Trump supporter, Peter Feaman, was removed from his voting position in the state delegation for the July 2024 National Republican Convention. Mr. Feaman wrote a letter to the public about what the RPOF had done. He is now in DC working for the Trump White House. His letter appears in my Substack article of May 19, 2024.

*Nearly a dozen other county Republican Committees have been interfered with by the RPOF: agendas AND slates of proposed officers altered; attendees asked to leave; law enforcement removing citizens who tried to enter meetings. Similar totalitarian acts.

This time, they have gone after the “Reclaim Campaign”, the purpose of which is to help citizens to vet their local officials and candidates, and get the best people into office. Somehow, to the RPOF, this is illegal. More like uncomfortable, I’d say.

Helmich says that the Reclaim Campaign is contacting many members of county REC’s under the “guise of election reform and accountability”. Only the hard Left has a problem with those two things.

Helmich goes on to say that “Association, participation, and activities with this group (violate) our Rules of Procedure.” He complains that Reclaim has positioned itself as a watchdog over Republican candidates and campaign activities.

Are you worried about exposing your “Dark Money” here, Bill?

From the Sarasota Phoenix, “the Reclaim Campaign shares best practices from partner groups on early fundraising strategies, enabling local groups to compete in primaries – primaries where the establishment is actively preserving the status quo through backroom deals and top-down control.” Sounds pretty accurate to me, given all else of the totalitarian nature that has come from Tallahassee in recent years.

Here are excerpts from the recent letter sent by Helmich and the RPOF to county Republican Executive Committees about “Reclaim”:

“It has come to our attention that the Reclaim Campaign which is operating under the banner of election reform and accountability is reaching out to many state Executive Committee members. Association, participation and activities with this group violate Rule 23 of our Rules and Procedures.

RULE 23 explicitly prohibits any Republican County Executive Committee or chartered organization from endorsing, supporting or affiliating non-partisan or bi-partisan groups established to monitor or regulate political campaigns.

Read RULE 23 again. This is from the Florida state Republican organization!

The Reclaim Campaign’s actions, from public criticism of Republican candidates to attempts to influence internal Party dynamics through external pressure, are not only divisive but also undermine the foundational principles of our Party.” On WHAT is the RPOF founded, may we ask? Certainly not those principles of our Republic.

The RPOF has basically issued a “cease and desist” order to prevent county Republican Executive Committees from having anything to do with “Reclaim”.

IS THIS STILL AMERICA?? THAT GOOD RED STATE?!?!?

Let me pause here. I need to settle my stomach.

The FIRST AMENDMENT of our US Constitution says: Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assembly and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

However, in RPOF RULE 23, interaction with other groups is forbidden. See Rule 23, again, above.

Tallahassee clearly believes that their cabal is legally superior to our founding document! How DARE citizens try to unearth and address problems, they think??

The Helmich letter continues:

“Let me be clear. The Republican Party of Florida welcomes robust debate and diverse perspectives within our ranks. (emphasis mine.) But we cannot and WILL not tolerate organized efforts that violate our rules.”

THE RULES WHICH VIOLATE OUR US CONSTITUTION, BILL?? THOSE RULES??

Helmich says to contact the RPOF if you have any questions. SURE. That’s going to do a lot of good, with the Globalist Totalitarians in Tallahassee, holding pro-American citizens captive.

I do wonder if there are others, among the elected legislators in the state Capital, who disagree with Helmich and the gang. As it is, there has been a deafening silence from both houses of government, so we must assume that those who might disagree have been throttled.

THOSE who have allowed themselves to be sidelined, are THE PERFECT candidates for losing their next elections! Help out with that. Florida, you need to CLEAN HOUSE. AND SENATE.

The Reclaim Campaign is holding an event this coming Saturday, July 26, in Venice, FL. Tickets and information is available on their website. A small, $30 fee, covers the admission, all sessions, a lunch buffet and non-alcoholic beverages, and an ACTION PLAN PACKET. Here’s the link for reservations.

Go, if at all possible!!

I dare say that the most valuable part of that entire day will be making contact with other Constitutional Americans who believe in the rule of our laws. This is exactly the kind of event I’ve been talking about when I implore people to “get off the couch and out the door”. Wish I could be there.

This is DeSantis’s Florida. He has learned the Globalists’ lessons well. Today, I just learned something from the Sunshine “wayback” machine.

The purge of county RECS actually began nearly 20 years ago, under Governor Rick Scott. A long-time patriot and activist in the state, shared her story with me. She was Sec/Treas/Media outreach person, for her county’s Republican Executive Committee, when she and other die-hard constitutionalists were caught up in an Oath “paperwork submission” problem. She and 20 others were not told the due date for submission, then were tossed from the REC for not submitting their paperwork in time.

Seems to be a favorite trick of Lefties to get rid of those they fear. Alfie Oakes, the organic farmer from Naples, and an old friend, Nick Freitas, of Virginia, have both experienced similar. I’m sure there have been dozens if not hundreds more, whose stories will fade with the passage of time, but this kind of action keeps on hurting good people.

The attack on “Reclaim” is only the latest in a string of unconstitutional moves from Tallahassee against America First Republicans, and our Constitution. There will be more, sadly, and they will continue until We the People loudly signal “ENOUGH”!!

Join in the Reclaim Campaign, and do everything you can to make it to this Saturday’s event. If you are NOT from Florida, get out and work with your own town and your own issues. EVERY town and state has some!

THAT is how we win back our country. That is how we say, “enough”!

By the way, that $60k DeSantis spent on roadsigns bearing his name and the “Free State” farce, was 40% of what he vetoed and took away from the Santa Rosa Veterans Treatment Court last week.

Just sayin’.

July 26, 2025

After a recent broadcast, I got several emails from the left of center audience.

I wanted to share the emails with you because it will give you an indication of how the left thinks. I constantly tell you when you have a conversation with Democrats or people on the fence, ask questions. You can present facts but you will soften the conversation if you ask questions. Below are some of the questions I got. I have used initials to identify the questioner.

A: Why I like Trump is because he is an autocratic fascist dictator. So I must suffer from Stockholm syndrome.

Karen: I asked what an autocratic fascist dictator was. I got the Wikipedia definition. I said I didn’t want that definition. I wanted to know what they thought. I am still waiting. My question was, how is he a dictator if Trump was elected.

D: Karen, most dictators / tyrants / autocratic leaders WERE elected. Hitler was elected. Putin was elected. Orban from Hungary was elected. It is how you govern that determines whether or not you are an autocratic dictator.

Karen: Dictators don’t have open cabinet meetings or go to SCOTUS to get rulings on following Article 2 of the Constitution. Trump follows the Constitution, SCOTUS rulings and Congress creates the laws. Trump is following Article 2. So, how does that make him a dictator?

He is only a dictator if he installs himself as president for a 3rd term without an election.

D: He is slowly “installing” himself as a “President for life” every day with every new appointment. Every appointment he makes becomes positive proof that the new appointee is loyal to Trump above the Constitution and the country. I personally believe there will not be another election in 2028, and he may eliminate the 2026 midterm elections. You no doubt believe my predictions are exaggerations. But we just have to go back to January 6th, 2020 and see the proof of a single man trying to overthrow a legal and fair election, and the efforts to overthrow the Constitution. And the people who committed crimes in his behalf were given a pass on the very crimes they were tried and convicted for.

Karen: Where was he installed? You may not like it but Article 2 gives Trump the power to do exactly as he is doing. Of course he installs people loyal to him. Every President does. Why would you want to have people who will undermine you? This is called common sense. I believe there will be a 2028 election. I believe that the 2020 election was stolen. I believe the evidence will prove this to be true. What proof do you have that supports his trying to overthrow the election and Constitution?

Biden gave a pass to all his criminal friends using an autopen. Trump pardoned the J6ers because most were incarcerated without due process. Most could not present evidence.

Although he wants a strong military for national protection, he doesn’t want a takeover of any other country.

D: How about Canada, Greenland, Panama, Gaza. And renaming the Gulf of Mexico must give him some ownership rights. How about his desire to use our military to go after the drug cartels in Mexico, which would be tantamount to declaring war on Mexico.

Karen: He throws those names out because that is how he gets a conversation going. He got China out of Panama, a military base in Greenland and he is still negotiating with Canada. You do not understand his style of negotiating. How many airports and military bases did the D’s rename?

He has given power back to the states/people and wants to shrink and streamline the government. He believes individualism and doesn’t care about race or gender.

D: He is the most racist President since the Civil War. “Giving power back to the states” can only be done by a dictator / Tyrant. Otherwise he would put it up to a vote of the people. His idea of shrinking and streamlining government is to put all powers of government, of every branch of government in his own personal hands. He has already reduced the role of Congress, and made that branch of government nearly ineffectual. He is fighting the courts nearly every day, and the Supreme Court, like the Republicans in Congress, have nearly relegated all their Constitutional powers over to Trump.

Karen: Example of Trump’s racism please? Giving power back to the states is the 10th amendment. He is trying to stick to the enumerated powers which are the only powers that the government has. That is called shrinking the government. The rest of the powers belong to the states. Most of the agencies are filled with redundancy which is what he is getting rid of … aka: Waste, Fraud and Abuse The Constitution does not mention education because the states were supposed to handle that. He is fighting in court because Democrats are continually suing and continually losing. What a waste of time and money. Maybe they should read the Constitution instead of trying to change it.

He doesn’t believe in violence. What city was burned by his supporters?

D: He doesn’t believe in violence?????????? Do you not remember when he promised any of his supporters in the audience of a rally during his first campaign, that he would pay the legal bills if any of them would just “beat the crap” out of any protesters at that rally. Do you not remember when he suggested to police officers that they not protect the heads of any (innocent until proven guilty) captives as they put them into their squad cars before transporting them to jail. He has suggested violence too many times to count.

Karen: I am confused. His words resulted in what city being burned down by MAGA?

What “violence” that you stated resulted in burning, looting and hundreds of millions $$$ in damage of cities? What city had millions in damage from “peaceful protests” from MAGA?

Yesterday Some House Democrats told Axios that their constituents have encouraged them to prepare for violence and “be willing to get shot” while resisting President Donald Trump’s agenda.

J: And to answer your question about what city was burned, how about Washington, DC, on January 6th, 2020.

Karen: Washington DC is not a city, it is a district. There were no fires except in the church set by a lefty. There was protesting and some vandalism by lefties but DC was not burned down. So, I ask again … What city was burned down by MAGA?

We then switched the conversation to Byron Donalds. I asked my black friend to join me at a dinner with Donalds as the key note speaker. She said NO. He is a racist. I was surprised by that answer. I asked what made her think that. She said I just have to accept her answer. I said I can’t because I must report on facts. She said she will go home and call me. When I get the answer, I will let you know.

I consider these good conversations. Questions were asked, questions were answered No one yelled or cursed. Hopefully, I gave them something to think about. It is so important that we keep talking and correcting the lies. Without our voices telling the truth, they will never learn any opposition.

Is America worth saving? Will you talk to those sitting on the fence?

When Silence Is Not So Golden…

(These are my views as a woman living in England, on how the culture and spirit of my country has changed over 50 years.   Why the country does not feel protected or strong any more, how it has lost, and is losing it values and decency, and how we are daily losing our free speech.)

Talking is cheap, people follow like sheep
Even though there is nowhere to go
How could she tell? He deceived her so well
Pity she’ll be the last one to know
—The Four Seasons

Recently I have been listening to narcissistic abuse educator, Richard Grannon on how to deal with Narcissism; a term which has become very popular in our culture today, our analysis of which can often be mis-used and wrongly attributed to many types of different personalities.

To degrees, I believe most people have some level of Narcissism, but dealing with someone or something, i.e. an organization, who is almost 100% in their ego, whilst taking into account your own personality, level of integrity, and self-preservation, is extremely difficult and debilitating until you learn to detach from the provocation that narcissists convey in order to gain energy and have power over you.

Finding confidence in your silence in some instances, and being non-reactionary in a world where it is more imperative that you speak up right now, is like playing a game of mental tai-chi.  A high level of discernment is also required.

Richard Grannon, My Links

So where do you find balance and discernment, to speak up or stay silent, if you are not in tune with the mental games, the hypocrisy, the falseness, the confusion, the superiority, and the provocation, sometimes hiding behind religious or humanist labels, which we now deal with on a daily basis both on a personal and individual level and the collective global onslaught?

Speaking up has become dangerous for many people. Staying silent can also can also kill you inwardly.   What has happened to respectful debate or a difference of opinion?  What has happened to honest investigative journalism?

Injustice in the UK, where freedom of speech is being silenced, has seen many people react with uncontrollable actions.

There is reportedly the imprisonment of Lucy Connolly, the wife of a Conservative counsellor, who in a fit of rage and frustration tweeted a message about migrants in the UK, after being understandably distressed by the multiple stabbings of young children at a dance class, three of whom were sadly fatal, in Southport in the Summer of 2024

After a few hours of reflection, it is reported that Lucy deleted her tweet.   However, she was later arrested, and sentenced to 31 months in prison.

The links below are from the BBC News.   Many people will believe verbatim the reports, which do contain main elements of truth.  However, through historically reporting false, or misleading information, or not reporting the full facts, some people believe the BBC no longer has the same respect which it once enjoyed, and rarely offers apologies for misrepresentation.   There is no longer any Trust.

Whilst social media can often report sensational and inaccurate information, how culpable and accountable should mainstream journalists be for reporting any inaccurate information, which results in any type of confusion or aggression?

It is reported that subsequent riots broke out in Southport as a result of far-right mis-information spread by social media.   However, there was also the immediate and initial reporting by the mainstream media that the assailant was a 17-year-old Welsh boy who could not be named.  Some people believed the emphasis on this description was hiding something based on previous mis-representations. Many people believed it could be considered potentially provocative?

There are potentially two different outcomes in reporting the story.

• People, outraged, or tired and confused with the perceived manipulation, ‘reacted’. In general, citizens in the UK do not feel safe or protected any more. They feel overlooked.  It is a fight or flight response.  There is a lot of anger and frustration amongst people on so many issues.
• Mankind agrees with the perceived authoritarian account and is indifferent, or else it compromises and sits and suffers in inward silence creating anxiety, fear and eventually sickness.

In effect, you sell your soul to the oppressor who wants you to obey it, whichever way you choose to react.

This incident is how a Narcissist will treat its victim in a personal relationship.   After creating a problem, they then create confusion and a response, and then they take the upper hand in the scenario by accusing you of reacting.   Little by little, you lose your own identity, your essence, your energy, and you give in to what some people would call ‘Evil’.   I believe it is succumbing to a false God.

Are you watching Narcissism being played out right now?   Or are you dealing with a compromised victim?

On the 17^th June this year, the majority of MPs in the UK Parliament, mainly consisting of Labour MP’s, voted in favour to amend the Crime and Policing Bill to decriminalise abortion right up to birth.

I don’t think there is anyone I know who is not sickened by this proposal which was conducted without any consultation whatsoever with the public, and with very little publicity.

My own beliefs are that aborting a child for whatever reason at full term is not protecting the most vulnerable in society, including the mental health of the adults who may be coerced in to this.   There is also an emphasis on ‘women’s rights’ and not the rights of the father, or the rights of the child.  A full-term baby cannot be classed as an embryo or a foetus as pro-abortionists claim.

It is reported the proposal to the amendment of the Crime and Policing Bill (NC1) was put forward by Labour MP for Gower, Tonia Antoniazzi and included a continuation of the 24-week allowance agreed by Parliament in 2022 during the pandemic to now decriminalise abortion right up to birth.

(NC20) to the amendment of the Crime and Policing Bill was reported to have been put forward by Stella Creasy MP, to decriminalise abortion up to birth no matter how the abortion is carried out.

It is reported by Christian Concern, who are Christian lawyers, that it removes the sections of the Against the Person Act 1861 and also repeals the Infant life Preservation Act 1929.

They reported that over 1000 medics wrote to MP’s advising them to reject the amendment for medical reasons.  The amendment would mean that the woman would be able to carry out her own abortion for whatever reason right up to birth.  The links are below

The proposal for the amendment still has to go to the House of Lords to become law, but what is shocking, is the majority of MP’s who voted for the proposal.   It is reported that the proposal was passed with just 2 hours of debate in the House of Commons.

Is that the value of human life?

My thoughts are that we should always speak up if we see harm being committed towards another person, and we should speak up against the injustices that we witness.    Many people now feel it is a waste of time writing to MP’s who have already decided that they know better than their constituents.

From different resources, it is not unusual to receive some very condescending replies.   However, shining a light on evil, if you are correct in your vision brings an energy and a clarity called Truth to the issue which is liberating.  It can also awaken a sleeping cell in another who has been mis-led or compromised.

Links to SPUC (Society for the Protection of Unborn Children) Right to Life, and Christian Concern who are challenging this issue can be found here.

Choose your battles carefully

Narcissists typically have very big charismatic personalities even if they sometimes play a victim or covert role.   It can be extremely hard in some situations to ever explain how they can lie, mislead, and gaslight others.  They usually come out on top.

In a personal relationship, if you are being played by a narcissist you must resist playing the game and learn to withdraw your energy from them.  Friends and relatives will not see or understand what you may be silently suffering from, but your soul is worth saving.

Provocation, sometimes wrapped up as a compliment, can derive from the simplest of statements.   Know your triggers, knowing silence in these instances, can outshine the darkness which is attempting to displace you.

The first commandment to have no other Gods, and to love God first with all your heart and soul, will connect you to what is known as your First Love. We must love truth more than we love lies.   It will mean you are connected to the Truth and you are not alone.

With discernment you will learn that something can also speak in the silence of your interactions with others, and at other times it will lead you to speak out from a place where the truth of those words cuts through those lies to silence it.

The battle to displace truth with lies is real and is a battle for your soul.  It wants to change your beliefs to its own, and keep you as a slave.

We are witnessing on a grand scale a battle for your life, that wants your allegiance to be to a system who thinks it is God who demands your energy by instilling fear, force and compromise.   Sometimes it is subtle, and sometimes it is not so subtle, but it is there to distract and displace us.  It does not possess Love.

Love, which is the love of God, not our own human interpretation, will be the only way out of the chaos and confusion which is being thrown at us on a daily basis.  God is throwing us a life line in the first commandment, which is the antidote to every problem that we have.

You do not have to hate the Narcissist; you just have to direct your main focus at all times on something greater, and not succumb to the manipulation.

It is time for the UK to return to God as the only way out of its descent.

Below is just one lone MP, Danny Kruger who was recently speaking to an empty House of Commons

WATCH: In Empty House of Commons, UK MP Danny Kruger Urges ‘Christian Restoration’ | APT

“There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer: no disease that love will not heal: no door that enough love will not open…It makes no difference how deep set the trouble: how hopeless the outlook: how muddled the tangle: how great the mistake. A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all. If only you could love enough, you would be the happiest and most powerful being in the world…” —Emmet Fox

July 26, 2025

If the Mazzaroth is God’s clock, what can we learn from its patterns and pictures?  What is it telling us?

We learned it takes about 2100 years for the sun to move through one constellation into the next, with a few decades that it’s partly between the two or in both of them.  Those decades when the sun is at the end of one constellation moving into the next is a transition between the ages.

[My prior article laid out the premise of this with additional resources at the end.]

Let’s look at the ones we know of so far…

Gemini, the twins

As the sun was moving out of Gemini, the creation of Adam and Eve was occurring.  The Garden of Eden was their home, and Gemini was pointing across the sky at Sagittarius, the archer.  Taking our cues from the ancient language and cultures, we know Sagittarius means “hitting the mark” and is symbolized with the archer.  It’s like God was saying He hit the mark with the Creation and especially the creation of the twins, Adam and Eve.

Life on earth at that time was all about Adam and Eve.  They were created to walk with their Maker in fellowship.  There was harmony in the Garden.  Life on earth at that time was as close to perfection as it was going to get.  Adam and Eve were the prototype for humanity.

But there was some foreshadowing in the sky.  Sagittarius’s bow was pointing at Scorpio (the serpent)…

Taurus, the bull

The sun made its way out of the twins and into the bull, Taurus.  The Fall of Man happened during the transition between the two signs in the heavens.  The serpent (Scorpio) had deceived the twins, and they had lost their Paradise.  They were driven out of the Garden, and according to Genesis 6 and Enoch, the earth became a place of strong men that lived hundreds of years, and giants who had invaded the earth and challenged the authority of men.

The Bible speaks very little about this age, but Enoch covers it well.  The giants (Nephilim) were the offspring of the Watchers (referenced in Daniel and discoursed in Enoch).  The earth grew more and more violent, and probably did not at all resemble anything we’ve ever seen on the earth.  The mixture of fallen gods/angels with humans produced the giants.  The fallen ones taught all sorts of secret knowledge that corrupted humanity.  (see Enoch 6-8)  According to Enoch, the giants “consumed all the acquisitions of men.  And when men could no longer sustain them, the giants turned against them and devoured mankind.”

Interestingly, Taurus sits opposite the sky from Scorpio.  At the same time the strength of men was at its height, the corresponding sign of Scorpio was raging on the earth as well.

But God is always at work, and He will not be defeated…

We learn from Jasher that Abram was born in the days of Nimrod, (and most people know by now how powerful and wicked Nimrod was, and how the base of most occult and secret society doctrines can be traced back to Nimord and his days).  Look at what happened the night Abram was born:

“And it was in the night that Abram was born, that all the servants of Terah, and all the wise men of Nimrod, and his conjurors came and ate and drank in the house of Terah, and they rejoiced with him on that night.  And when all the wise men and conjurors went out from the house of Terah, they lifted up their eyes toward heaven that night to look at the stars, and they saw, and behold one very large star came from the east and ran in the heavens, and he swallowed up the four stars from the four sides of the heavens.  And all the wise men of the king and his conjurors were astonished at the sight, and the sages understood this matter, and they knew its import.  And they said to each other, “This only signifies the child that has been born to Terah this night, who will grow up and be fruitful, and multiply, and possess all the earth, he and his children forever, and he and his seed will slay great kings, and inherit their lands.”  [Jasher 8:1-4]

There probably wasn’t any light pollution then.  They were able to see the night sky in its fullness, and they knew there were things to be learned by it.  There was a sign in the sky the night Abram was born, and they read the sign to mean Nimrod’s rule (and succeeding rulers) would be challenged.

[While I’d love to develop this part further, I’m doing a general overview right now and cannot.]

So what we have is an age of strength… strength of man and giants.  At the end of that age (last few hundred years), the Flood occurred.  Roughly two hundred years after the flood, Nimrod was born and reigned subsequently.  In that transition period when the sun was moving out of Taurus and into Aries (remember that’s a long process of decades, up to a hundred years), Abram was born.  Not only was Abram born, but he was born with some celestial pomp and circumstance.

Aries, the Ram

So Abram’s birth occurred at the end of Taurus.  The Flood was at the end of Taurus.  Something was changing…

The Tower of Babel was erected about three hundred years after the Flood (Nimrod was presiding), and within a few years of Abram’s birth.  Despite all evidence that the majority of the earth had returned to their rebellion to God, God did not destroy the earth.  He had another plan, and instead confused their scheme.  As Taurus drew to a close, the new age of Aries was bringing some changes.

Aries is the ram, the sacrifice.  The sacrifice, the giving up of the innocent for the guilty was established in this era.  Abraham laid out sacrifices when God established His covenant with him. (Gen. 15)  Later Abraham was called by God to sacrifice his son, Isaac, which he walked out in obedience. (Gen. 22)  What a tremendous foreshadowing of Christ!  But the angel stopped Abraham and provided what for that sacrifice?  Ah yes, a ram whose horns were caught in a thorn bush.

Abraham’s son and grandson carried the covenant forward, with the twelve great-grandson’s of Abraham ultimately being the foundation for the soon to come nation of Israel.  Israel was formed at the Exodus, when Moses led them out from Egypt and handed them the Mosaic Law.

In the celestial sky Aries points to Libra, the scales, the depiction of the rule of law and justice.  From the time of the Mosaic Law until the closing of that age, this era would be defined by a sacrificial system within a system of moral and civil laws.

Daniel expounds on the coming end of the age, which modern Christianity mistakenly points to still in the future.  The very last line in Daniel is this, “But as for you, go your way to the end; then you will enter into rest and rise again for your allotted portion at the end of the age.”

And at the end of that Aries age, a baby was born, miraculously…

Pisces, the fishes

That baby would navigate the end of the Aries age and the start of the Pisces age, the age of fish.  He would employ fishermen, and multiply fish and loaves, and get money out of the mouth of a fish.  And then He would be the ultimate sacrifice to end an obsolete sacrificial system, and He would send the Spirit of God to write His law on the hearts of His people.  His people would move away from temple sacrifices into the fullness of the completed work of Christ in His death and resurrection.

The followers of Christ would come to be known by the sign of the fish.

Pisces in the celestial skies points to Virgo, the virgin…the Bride.  Christ would instill the sacrament of communion as an act of promise for the Bride, His people, in parallel fashion with the ancient Israeli custom of betrothal.

Transitions between ages

Christ painstakingly explained to his followers that old wine skins cannot receive new wine, and new wine skins cannot receive old wine.  He boldly told the religious if they destroyed the temple, it would be raised again in three days.  A change was coming.  But they wanted a military hero so they were having trouble seeing.

They were worried about the land and the city.  He was pointing them to an eternal home and a new city.  In the Olivet discourse, He painstakingly laid out the end of the Pisces age and its destruction with the complete destruction of Jerusalem.  (People are still trying to put that off into the future.  I used to do that as well.)

Every age had a transition into the next age, and the definition of the new age was not much like the prior age.  While themes carried over, details changed.  Each age was more progressed in its processes.  At the risk of sounding new age-ish, there were ascensions in the spiritual realm, less emphasis on the flesh and blood part of humanity, more emphasis on the spiritual principles of God’s kingdom.

Christopher Carter pointed out in his book Cosmic Shift, the transition period between ages is awkward.  Setting up a set of laws and a sacrificial system was new to the people from the Taurus age.  Might was right in the Taurus age.  If your strength could get it, it was yours.  Strength produced kings who wielded over their subjects until someone stronger could usurp them.  A system of laws under a moral code was new.  The Israelites were uncomfortable with this new system Moses was leading them into.  They clutched at Aaron to return to ways more familiar, threw in their gold jewelry and out came what?  A golden calf.  (young bull)  Yes, transitions are awkward, uncomfortable.

Even the disciples struggled wrapping their heads around this new era Christ was leading them to.  They didn’t realize His crucifixion was the ultimate sacrifice to end the sacrificial system.  Even when Christ gave them His departing instructions, it didn’t look like anything from the Aries age:  Go.  Teach. Baptize.

The Pisces age moved from kings of Israel and Judah with Levitical priests, to His believers being a “royal priesthood” (1Peter 2:9), and “a kingdom of priests” (Rev. 1:6, 5:10, 20:6).  In Christ’s commission to go into all the world and teach all nations, He moved the message from a set of (national) boundaries to ALL of Creation.  The disciples struggled trying to pour the new wine into the old wine skins.  People kept talking about circumcision and diet and days of the week and how to keep the Mosaic law.  God had to give Peter a vision of killing and eating.  He had to blind Paul and call him specifically to the Gentiles.  [Read Acts 15 to catch a good overview.]  No, the transition from Aries to Pisces was fraught with awkwardness, misunderstanding, and resistance.

Even today, there is a group of people who insist Paul isn’t a true apostle, that he didn’t walk out the apostolic creed, that he was leading people away from the law.  If people are still resisting the age of Pisces and insisting on the age of Aries at the cusp of the age of Aquarius, I don’t think we can expect the next transition to be any different.  It’s like the Israelites shirking from the age of Aries and wanting the familiar Taurus.  Each transition has been a struggle for the people of God to let go of the old to take hold of the new.

It’s reminiscent of what Isaiah (43:18-19) called the people of God to do:

Do not call to mind the former things,
Or ponder things of the past.
Behold, I will do something new,
Now it will spring forth;
Will you not be aware of it?

Transitions are messy.  The current age doesn’t recognize the new age, and they try to drag into the new age the things of the old.  (Would you be more comfortable if I called it the new eon?  I know there’s a negative connotation with “new age”, but I’m looking at the language of the Bible, not the vernacular of the pagan system.)

The Transition into Aquarius is upon us

What will that look like?  What is God saying about His expression on the earth?

Water poured out…
pointing to the King…
spelled out in the celestial heavens…
Jesus is the living water…
Jesus is the rightful King…

Current events look messy.  There’s a shift going on.  Can you feel it?  Can you sense it?  Can you see signs of it?  Let’s start asking God what we’re supposed to understand, what He’s doing or saying.  Let’s look at clues from His Word.  Start with passages about water.

John 7:37-39

 Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, ” If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.  He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'”  But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive…

John 4:13-14

“Everyone who drinks of this water [from the earth] will thirst again;  but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”

1 John 5:5-9

Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?  This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.  For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.

Rev 22:17

 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost.

The water is being poured out.  It’s pointing to the King.  Let’s press in to align with God’s purposes.  Let’s not make the mistake of prior peoples who missed the transitions and clung to the old age.  Let’s discover what we’re supposed to understand so we can move with what God’s doing.

Every transition period ended in wide-spread upheaval.  The Fall ended the Gemini age.  The Flood was at the end of the Taurus age.  Christ’s birth was at the end of the Aries age.  These events transformed the landscape of earth and civilization.  I assume there will be an upheaval for this new era as well.  Current events indicate there will be.  Let’s seek God so we can be used of Him for His purposes.  The enemy will be active more than ever to thwart what God is doing, and God’s people are often waylaid and deceived by what the enemy is doing.  Let’s be children of the King and rightly reflect our Creator’s heart as the seasons change.

• Do lower courts have the authority to issue universal injunctions?
• Should courts be issuing injections based on policy rather than law?
• SCOTUS has finally weighed in with their decision.

In the “Rock, Paper, Scissors” our federal government plays, who wins? Does a federal court always get what it wants or are there limitations? While hearing cases on the question of “birthright citizenship,” several District Courts claimed the power to rule over the President. I don’t remember seeing that in the Constitution. Now, the Supreme Court has weighed in, deciding in the case Trump v. Casa that lower courts are not so powerful after all.

Subject to the Jurisdiction Thereof

When President Trump signed the Executive Order terminating the unconstitutional view that citizenship is a birthright, it didn’t take long for the lawsuits to fly. With those suits, however, came courts attempting to stop the President using universal injunctions.

Plaintiffs (respondents here)—individuals, organizations, and States—filed three separate suits to enjoin the implementation and enforcement of President Trump’s Executive Order No. 14160. … The Executive Order identifies circumstances in which a person born in the United States is not “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” and is thus not recognized as an American citizen.

Trump v. Casa

The Executive Order does not make up the circumstances of birthright citizenship, it merely implements what the Constitution and U.S. Law already says:

The Fourteenth Amendment has always excluded from birthright citizenship persons who were born in the United States but not “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”  Consistent with this understanding, the Congress has further specified through legislation that “a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” is a national and citizen of the United States at birth, 8 U.S.C. 1401, generally mirroring the Fourteenth Amendment’s text.

Executive Order 14160

As it plainly states, this Executive Order only identifies what common sense and the explanation of Senator Jacob Howard Merritt, the person who submitted the text “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” to the joint resolution that would eventually become the Fourteenth Amendment. That means foreigners and aliens do not have a right to citizenship at birth.

This amendment which I have offered is simply declaratory of what I regard as the law of the land already, that every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons.”

Congressional Globe p. 2890

Of course, that little detail has not stopped plaintiffs and courts at all levels from claiming differently.

The plaintiffs allege that the Executive Order violates the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause, §1, and §201 of the Nationality Act of 1940.

Trump v. Casa

There are numerous problems with the plaintiffs allegations. First, that it violates the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

U.S. Constitution, Amendment XIV, Section 1

Clearly, as I’ve already shown, to be a citizen if you are born in the United States, you must be subject to it as well. Congress agreed with this when they passed the Nationality Act of 1940:

The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:

(a) a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof;

8 USC 1401

Not only does the Executive Order state the language of the Fourteenth Amendment and U.S. Law, but the policy it puts forth merely implements what the Constitution and the law state:

Sec. 2.  Policy.  (a)  It is the policy of the United States that no department or agency of the United States government shall issue documents recognizing United States citizenship, or accept documents issued by State, local, or other governments or authorities purporting to recognize United States citizenship, to persons:  (1) when that person’s mother was unlawfully present in the United States and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth, or (2) when that person’s mother’s presence in the United States was lawful but temporary, and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth.

Executive Order 14160

Before we get too deep into this opinion, let’s be specific about what the court was being asked. This court did not decide the question of birthright citizenship, no matter how many “news” outlets reported it did so. The question before the court was one of injunctions.

In each case, the District Court entered a “universal injunction”—an injunction barring executive officials from applying the Executive Order to anyone, not just the plaintiffs. And in each case, the Court of Appeals denied the Government’s request to stay the sweeping relief. The Government argues that the District Courts lacked equitable authority to impose universal relief and has filed three nearly identical emergency applications seeking partial stays to limit the preliminary injunctions to the plaintiffs in each case. The applications do not raise—and thus the Court does not address—the question whether the Executive Order violates the Citizenship Clause or Nationality Act. Instead, the issue the Court decides is whether, under the Judiciary Act of 1789, federal courts have equitable authority to issue universal injunctions.

Trump v. Casa

The Trump Administration asked for a stay of these lower court “injunctions” on the basis that they exceeded the authority vested in those courts by Congress in the Judiciary Act of 1789.

Decision of the Courts

As Justice Barrett wrote in the opinion of the court, this case was incredibly important:

The question whether Congress has granted federal courts the authority to universally enjoin the enforcement of an executive or legislative policy plainly warrants our review … It is easy to see why. By the end of the Biden administration, we had reached “a state of affairs where almost every major presidential act [was] immediately frozen by a federal district court.” … The trend has continued: During the first 100 days of the second Trump administration, district courts issued approximately 25 universal injunctions. … As the number of universal injunctions has increased, so too has the importance of the issue.

Trump v. Casa

Imagine that, a nation not ruled by laws but by judges? How is that any different than the very first grievance our Founding Fathers brought against the king in the Declaration of Independence?

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

Declaration of Independence

We declared independence from Great Britain for overturning our laws, so why should courts be granted the same power? The fact is, they weren’t.

The Government is likely to succeed on the merits of its argument regarding the scope of relief. … A universal injunction can be justified only as an exercise of equitable authority, yet Congress has granted federal courts no such power.

Trump v. Casa

It’s important to remember that, other than the Supreme Court, all other federal courts are created by, and therefore regulated by, Congress.

The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.

U.S. Constitution, Article III, Section 1

So where do these inferior courts get their power from? Congress. In this case, the Judiciary Act of 1789.

The Judiciary Act of 1789 endowed federal courts with jurisdiction over “all suits . . . in equity,” .., and still today, this statute “is what authorizes the federal courts to issue equitable remedies,” … Though flexible, this equitable authority is not freewheeling. We have held that the statutory grant encompasses only those sorts of equitable remedies “traditionally accorded by courts of equity” at our country’s inception.

Trump v. Casa

Many of our legal traditions come from our mother country, Great Britain. So when the court asks the question if universal injunctions are the “sorts of equitable remedies traditionally accorded by courts of equity” at our country’s inception,” they are looking back at the High Court of Chancery in England.

We must therefore ask whether universal injunctions are sufficiently “analogous” to the relief issued “‘by the High Court of Chancery in England at the time of the adoption of the Constitution and the enactment of the original Judiciary Act.’”

The answer is no: Neither the universal injunction nor any analogous form of relief was available in the High Court of Chancery in England at the time of the founding.

Trump v. Casa

While Justice Barrett went into great legal detail when she wrote the opinion, the short answer is, there was no power of Universal Injunctions at the founding of the nation. Justice Thomas brought this out during oral arguments:

JUSTICE THOMAS: So we survived until the 1960s without universal injunctions?

GENERAL SAUER: That’s exactly correct.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

There were a few concurring opinions, but they focused on legal details. Important yes, but beyond the scope of this article.

Sotomayor Dissent

Which brings us to the dissents, starting with Justice Sotomayor’s.

Children born in the United States and subject to its laws are United States citizens. That has been the legal rule since the founding, and it was the English rule well before then.

Trump v. Casa

Don’t you just love it when the allegedly best legal minds in the country can’t even quote the Constitution accurately? As I’ve already shown, the Fourteenth Amendment does not say a person just be subject to the laws of the United States, but to the United States itself. Not only was that NOT the legal rule since the founding, if it was we wouldn’t have needed the Fourteenth Amendment.

This Court once attempted to repudiate it, holding in Dred Scott v. Sandford, 19 How. 393 (1857), that the children of enslaved black Americans were not citizens. To remedy that grievous error, Congress passed in 1866 and the States ratified in 1868 the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause, which enshrined birthright citizenship in the Constitution. There it has remained, accepted and respected by Congress, by the Executive, and by this Court. Until today.

Trump v. Casa

It must be nice to simply make up your own history to fit your needs. Yes, the Supreme Court denied citizenship, but not to children born to enslaved blacks, but to all black people.

The U.S. Supreme Court decision in which the Court ruled that African Americans, whether enslaved or free, were not citizens of the United States and therefore did not have the right to sue in federal court.

Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857)

With this type of academic malfeasance, just what can we expect from the rest of the dissent?

No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates. Today, the threat is to birthright citizenship. Tomorrow, a different administration may try to seize firearms from lawabiding citizens or prevent people of certain faiths from gathering to worship. The majority holds that, absent cumbersome class-action litigation, courts cannot completely enjoin even such plainly unlawful policies unless doing so is necessary to afford the formal parties complete relief. That holding renders constitutional guarantees meaningful in name only for any individuals who are not parties to a lawsuit. Because I will not be complicit in so grave an attack on our system of law, I dissent.

Trump v. Casa

Apparently Justice Sotomayor has forgotten the fact she just gave an example that the courts are just as capable of infringing on people’s rights as Congress or the President. So why should they be allowed to make nationwide policy decisions in the form of these universal injunctions, even when the facts do not stand up to the law? For example, Justice Sotomayor points to a previous Supreme Court opinion in support of her birthright citizenship cause, United States v. Wong Kim Ark.

A child born in the United States, of parents of Chinese descent, who, at the time of his birth, are subjects of the Emperor of China, but have a permanent domicil and residence in the United States, and are there carrying on business, and are not employed in any diplomatic or official capacity under the Emperor of China, becomes at the time of his birth a citizen of the United States, by virtue of the first clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution,

United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898)

Did you notice the line “are subjects of the Emperor of China?” That means when the court found that Mr. Ark was a United States citizen, they completely ignored the language of the Constitution, requiring someone to be subject to the United States, not a foreign emperor. This was a direct violation of their oath of office, not to mention illegally claiming a right not confirmed by the supreme law of the land.

Another example of Justice Sotomayor’s twisted view of history is this statement:

The lawmakers who ratified the Fourteenth Amendment understood that it would extend citizenship to all children born here, regardless of parental citizenship.

Trump v. Casa

As I’ve already pointed out, the man who proposed the amendment added the words “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” said on the floor of the Senate:

This amendment which I have offered is simply declaratory of what I regard as the law of the land already, that every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons.”

Congressional Globe p. 2890

So, no, Justice Sotomayor, the lawmakers who ratified the Fourteenth Amendment did not understand that citizenship would extend to all children born here. Based on these warped and twisted “facts,” Justice Sotomayor came to the following conclusion:

The rule of law is not a given in this Nation, nor any other. It is a precept of our democracy that will endure only if those brave enough in every branch fight for its survival. Today, the Court abdicates its vital role in that effort. With the stroke of a pen, the President has made a “solemn mockery” of our Constitution. … Rather than stand firm, the Court gives way. Because such complicity should know no place in our system of law, I dissent.

Besides the fact that a Supreme Court justice cannot tell a democracy from a republic, does anyone else find it ironic that Justice Sotomayor is calling for the courts to fight for the rule of law while she not only ignores the law, but makes it up for herself? That is not the rule of law, and neither is it a republic, it is an oligarchy where she apparently wants to rule. Just who is making a “solemn mockery” of our Constitution?

Justice Jackson Dissent

In another example of both judicial hubris and a complete lack of understanding of the law, we have Justice Jackson’s dissent.

I agree with every word of JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR’s dissent. I write separately to emphasize a key conceptual point: The Court’s decision to permit the Executive to violate the Constitution with respect to anyone who has not yet sued is an existential threat to the rule of law.

Trump v. Casa

First of all, Justice Jackson is assuming facts not in evidence. She even pointed that out during oral arguments:

But here we are at the beginning of this litigation. No one has determined whether or not the government’s conduct is actually unlawful. We have a district court, several district courts and now courts of appeals that say it is, and so, as an interim matter, we are saying the government has to stop doing it while we litigate the issue of the unlawfulness.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

She’s jumped right over the case she is supposed to be deciding, and just assumes that when the President establishes a policy that follows the language of the Constitution and Laws of the United States, it is inherently unconstitutional. (Could that be because of who the President is?) What about the courts acting beyond their legitimate powers, delegated to them by Congress, which is the actual case she’s supposed to be looking at. (Could it also be because she’s afraid her position on birthright citizenship won’t survive a court’s scrutiny?) It appears Justice Jackson also likes to play fast and loose with the facts to get to the decision she wants.

Conclusion

In both dissents, it appears these justices are more concerned about “violating” court precedent than the actual Constitution itself. Justice Sotomayor pointed this out during oral arguments.

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: No, we don’t, because the argument here is that the president is violating an established — not just one but, by my count, four established Supreme Court precedents.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

I guess her law school didn’t teach her that a court decision is not law. It cannot be “violated” except by the parties to the case. Furthermore, both dissenting justices simply made up “facts” and twisted the law to try to get the decision they wanted. It reminds me of a quote by Ronald Reagan:

[T]he trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.

Ronald Reagan – A Time for Choosing

Thankfully, six of the nine justices seemed to focus on the question at hand, and were willing to follow the law.

Held: Universal injunctions likely exceed the equitable authority that Congress has given to federal courts. The Court grants the Government’s applications for a partial stay of the injunctions entered below, but only to the extent that the injunctions are broader than necessary to provide complete relief to each plaintiff with standing to sue.

Trump v. Casa

In other words, the injunctions requiring the federal government to give citizenship papers to those who are not legally citizens are stayed, except for those who had sued in these cases. Meanwhile, the same District Courts who issued these injunctions can now get to the task of deciding the underlying case. When a President follows the language of the Constitution rather than the Supreme Court, is that unconstitutional? I expect that to be a twisted set of decisions as well.

Joseph Stalin’s Dialectical and Historical Materialism is worth reading to understand what they mean by “social democracy” and “Democratic Socialism.” The greatest mass murderer in history, next to Mao, Stalin describes the historical process of slavery, followed by feudalism, capitalism, and socialism, ultimately resulting in communism.

Communists openly organize on American soil, in violation of the Communist Control Act, a law still on the books but not enforced. Congress abolished internal security panels while Big Tech platforms like YouTube terminated my account and our 500 anti-communist videos. Today, we air our programs on the Rumble channel.

As a result of letting down our guard, we face spectacles such as the rise of “Democratic Socialist” Zohran Mamdani in New York City, a rich kid born into wealth and power who promises free things for people. It is a form of theft. This has mass appeal because many “Americans” imported into the country do not understand basic economics.  Our media make the problem worse by trying to convince us that “Democratic Socialism” is somehow different than communism.

I just returned from New York City, where I visited two communist bookstores, one of them called “Revolution Books” and associated with the Revolutionary Communist Party and located on Malcolm X Boulevard in Harlem. On July 20, it is sponsoring a forum “on the victory of Zohran Mamdani,” and what it calls “the vicious attacks on him, and the fight for real revolution.” Clearly, they are excited about the prospect of Mamdani winning in November.

Today, a popular Marxist publication based in New York City goes by the name of Jacobin and has published an article noting that “the most important factor in Zohran’s victory is the movement that Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has built in New York City since the Bernie Sanders campaign in 2016.”

Mass Murder

The name “Jacobin” has special significance. The Jacobin government in the French Revolution used the guillotine during what was called the Reign of Terror.

Jacobin says it offers “socialist perspectives on politics and culture.” The fact that a Marxist publication would openly use the name “Jacobin” says a lot about their plans for New York City and America as a whole.

Lenin reportedly said the Jacobins were the Bolsheviks of the 18th century.

A casual Google search finds these references to Jacobin:

• “A Jacobin is defined as a member of a radical society of French revolutionaries who promoted the Reign of Terror from 1789 to 1794 in order to eliminate opposition to the revolutionary regime and consolidate power.”
• “As influential leaders like Maximilien Robespierre and Georges Danton took center stage, the Jacobins’ influence grew and led to the slaughter of hundreds, just because of their political beliefs.”
• “Jacobin Club, the most famous political group of the French Revolution, which became identified with extreme egalitarianismand violence and which led the Revolutionary government from mid-1793 to mid-1794.”

A category of “Black Jacobins” has been defined by one major socialist publication as the force behind “the first and only successful slave revolution in human history,” the Haitian revolution in 1804. The establishment of what is called “the Negro state of Haiti” has lasted to this day.

This is important because another communist  bookstore in New York City is called 1804 Books, “the year of the victory of the Haitian Revolution, which set the path of liberation in the Americas.” It is associated with the People’s Forum and the Party for Socialism and Liberation and describes itself as “a shop for socialist literature and revolutionary theory with internationalist resources for political education, organizing & movement building.” On the day that I visited 1804 Books, they were hosting an event to benefit the Sudanese Resistance Front, which declares that it “stands firmly against all forms of imperialism” and imagines “a liberated future beyond the grasp of capital and colonialism.”

Our Socialist Future

Around the room I saw posters devoted to Lenin, cop killer Assata Shakur (now in Cuba), “People Power,” a “Free Gaza,” and “Independence, Democracy, Socialism.”

A book published by the Party for Socialism and Liberation, which is associated with the bookstore, was also available. It is titled Socialist Reconstruction. A Better Future for the United States.

They have a plan. It has already led to 100 million dead but it has not yet been tried on a national basis in the United States.

To understand our fate, consider Haiti, with a population of 11.4 million, located about 700 miles from Miami, Florida.

Biden’s plan to admit thousands of Haitians became an issue in the 2024 campaign, when as many as 20,000 Haitian immigrants were discovered in Springfield, Ohio, a town of just 58,000.

The U.S. State Department warns, “Do not travel to Haiti due to kidnapping, crime, terrorist activity, civil unrest, and limited health care.”

Today, even the United Nations warns people about Haiti, saying the country is characterized by surging gang violence and lawlessness. It reports, “Between October 2024 and June 2025, 4,864 people in Haiti have been killed by gang violence. At least hundreds more have been injured, kidnapped, raped, and trafficked.”

For more on conditions in Haiti, I recommend Drew Binsky’s video, “I Spent a Day in Haiti’s Most Dangerous Slum.” He reports, “After visiting all 197 countries and thousands of cities around the world, I can say with 100% certainty that Port au Prince, Haiti, takes the crown as THE MOST DANGEROUS.  Yes, more than Afghanistan, Somalia, Libya, Syria and Iraq COMBINED.”

From Stability to Communism

I was in Port au Prince back in the early 1980s on a journalistic fact-finding mission, when the country was stable under the rule of Jean-Claude Duvalier. He was overthrown in 1986.

During years of turmoil, President Bill Clinton ordered U.S. troops under U.N. to be deployed on a mission to restore to power the former Haitian president, Jean Bertrand Aristide, a Catholic priest kicked out of his Catholic order for preaching violence. Aristide was known as an advocate of “liberation theology,” a mixture of Christianity and Marxism that scholar Malachi Martin called a “perfectly faithful exercise” of the principles of Italian Communist Antonio Gramsci, who emphasized cultural penetration of Western institutions.

The intervention represented an unprecedented effort by the Clinton administration to use American military power with U.N. backing to install pro-Communist forces in control of a country.

In the United States, on the website of a DSA affiliate, Bhaskar Sunkara was identified as the person behind Jacobin magazine and it was claimed that “The name Jacobin, while [usually] meant to invoke the French Revolution, has a different meaning for Sunkara. In naming the magazine, he was inspired at least in part by C.L.R. James’s The Black Jacobins, a hugely influential Marxist history of the Haitian Revolution.”

I am amazed at how this communist agenda is openly advertised in America today, largely without a peep of protest, until Zohran Mamdani suddenly burst upon the scene, on the verge of capturing control of America’s largest city.

President Trump once called Haiti a “shithole” country.

Now, America’s Marxists are urging the U.S. to follow the Haiti example.

Under the Communist Control Act, the Communist Party of the United States and its spin-offs can be identified and its members jailed and/or deported. It is time for action.

~ Dedicated to the replacement of all property tax, everywhere, with a reasonably scaled consumption tax

[This article and campaign were originally written and proposed on November 1, 1998. It looks like it might now be gaining traction.]

People may feel that the idea of replacing all property tax with a consumption tax is an outrageous—or at best—an unnecessary goal. I hope to convince them otherwise. This essay is not riddled with facts and figures and complex arguments, because I believe that the case against property tax, which involves the right to own private property, is powerful enough to stand on its own. In other words, it doesn’t require legal and tax experts to figure this issue out. It just requires common sense, which we all have in abundance (we hope).

This idea is a work in progress, and to call it a campaign at this point requires a bit of imagination. Still, some boxes of tea thrown into Boston Harbor started quite a ruckus, didn’t they? This may be an idea whose time has come.

For now, let’s review some thoughts about the pros and cons of property tax.

The Case for Property Tax

The short answer is that it’s a simple and effective means for localities to raise revenue for important services such as water, sewage, fire departments, police, etc. All very valid things that no one wants to see decline.

The more people move into an area and build properties, the more the tax base expands and the wealthier the city becomes. It makes sense, and it works.

The Case for the Total Replacement of Property Tax

Just think of how much you would like to own your own home (if you don’t already) or how much you like owning your own home (if you currently own one). It feels great, doesn’t it? A family’s home is their castle; their bastion of security, and in some cases, the place they would like to remain for all their days. Take a typical home…

The family worked hard to raise the money to buy it, and finally paid the mortgage off completely. It’s their home—or so they think.

“It ain’t.”

With property tax on their “home, sweet home,” the house and land, in a functional sense, belong to the city or town that has attached property tax to the property. In a nutshell, your city owns your home and “rents” it to you.

If you don’t pay the property tax, the city will come and take it away from you. Period.

Someone may think, “Well, the property tax isn’t that much, and it’s worked into my mortgage, so I’m fine with a small amount of tax.” It might seem that even after the mortgage is paid off, it’s only a few hundred dollars per month, so what’s the problem? But it could be much more, depending on where you live. Perhaps the worst part of the property tax scheme is that localities have carte blanche to raise the taxes anytime they want to. I know of people who owned their homes free and clear and had lived there for decades, and then had to move when the towns raised their property taxes to an amount that they could no longer afford. Whether the property tax is one dollar or one thousand dollars per month, the real issue is that as long as property tax exists, you do not own your own home.

Now think for a moment about the same home without any property tax attached to it. You’ve paid for it, and you own it. There are no liens attached. No debts. No property tax. No one owns it except you. Now imagine for a moment that you fall on hard times. You may not have much money, but you have a place to live. You can hole up in your lovely home for the rest of your life, and no one can take it away from you. It feels good, doesn’t it? (The issue of cities forcing a sale of a home because of “eminent domain,” to build a highway or a shopping center, is a different question, although that law can also be misused.)

From this point of view, the idea of attaching property tax to your “home, sweet home” violates and nullifies the ideal and right of every individual to own their own home. With property tax, private ownership is eliminated.

Think about it—with property tax, even after you’ve paid someone for your home, you have to pay City Hall forever, in order to remain living there. Forever and ever and ever. It’s not a very secure feeling, is it?

The Solution:
Replace Property Tax with Consumption Tax

Everybody understands that cities have to keep running. They have to get their money from somewhere. (Helping them cut their budgets is another campaign.)

Let’s just not have to pay again and again for the same item, and let’s make sure that we really do own our homes, cars, and other items of property.

So, it would seem that the only other source of revenue is the much-hated income tax (we won’t even think about it!)—or the levying of a reasonable consumption tax.

Frankly, the consumption tax can be attached to many types of purchases, in quite a large way. For example, when one has to buy a house for $100,000, let the city attach a consumption tax of some figure (for example, $10,000). That’s just an example, and may be too high, or too low, depending on the city’s budget and the ratio of other consumption taxes. We already pay a lot of tax at the gas pump, and we hardly ever think about it.

The issue is that we should only be taxed on what we consume and not on our income (which often isn’t enough, and hurts way too much) and not on our property, for endless generations. We pay only once, at the time of purchase. Period.

Because everyone has to spend money on many different items, the city will have a constant stream of revenue. If it’s a town without many shopping areas, then some other creative means of raising money can be considered, as long as it doesn’t violate private property.

Things That Shouldn’t Be Taxed Excessively:
Water, Food, Medicine, Electricity, and Heat

People who are suffering economically should not be taxed unduly—they simply can’t afford it. The realm of human suffering isn’t a Democrat or Republican issue—it’s an issue of heart that belongs to everyone. Public policy should base its content on the heart of unselfish regard for all human beings. If it does, compassion will direct public policy in a direction of goodness.

Excessive taxing of necessities like water, food, medicine, electricity, and heat has too much potential to be a cause of suffering. Let the person who needs to eat buy food without an extreme amount of tax attached to it—it’s a reasonable and unselfish thing to do. For those categories, no taxes, or very small taxes, are more appropriate.

The Implementation:
National Versus Local Level Laws

One way to implement the replacement of property tax with consumption tax is to create a wave of public opinion that will then influence each locality, one city at a time. Frankly, that’s too slow, and fraught with the probability that “XYZ City” will just say no—and merrily keep taxing the property of its citizens. Of course, if the citizens “vote the bums” out, they can change things—but influencing the citizens of each and every town is a mammoth job.

A more efficient method would be to create federal rulings that would outlaw property tax as a violation of the right to own private property, and require consumption taxes to be implemented instead. One way to achieve this would be to bring lawsuits against various municipalities, challenging property taxes as unconstitutional. The best outcome would be a Supreme Court ruling in favor of abolishing property tax.

What You Can Do!!!

It’s simple, at this point. Communicate about this issue and create a tidal wave of public opinion. Only massive insistence from voters will have any power to drive this policy change to fruition. Talk to those in power, including:

• Your congressmen and senators
• Your mayor and city council
• Your governor and state legislators
• Your friends and fellow activists
• Your newspapers and media outlets

and…

• Flood social media with this issue!

I believe that repealing property tax is possible. Most of all, I believe that doing so will fundamentally improve the quality of life for citizens wishing to own property of any kind, whether it’s residential or commercial.

It is our right to own our properties. Let us now truly make it so.

It’s not new news that Data Centers are becoming quite an issue, all across America. These massive centers are also an issue, across the world. With the continued push for economic gains BEFORE people’s wellbeing, we’re going to see even more of these centers built.

This article seeks to point out some of the most ‘not so much talked about’ dangers.

Grow, Grow and Destroy:

Back in 2024[1], it was reported that a typical data center needs no less than 10 acres to lease or purchase, outright. The leases and purchases must involve homeowners or those who possess rural property (ie: farmers). Zoning will also need to be changed from residential to industrial zoning. Is your town or community capable of supporting such a shift? What types of conditions and legal requirements must be set up for compliance?

Also, in 2024, the State of Virginia was tagged as the location with the largest amount of data center growth in the world[2]. Think about that. How much of VA, from a historical perspective will be gobbled up? Is the goal of data centers to simply boost the economy? One must wonder.

Especially knowing that farming is at stake. So, we wipe out farms and history to erect buildings that house data tracking methods and use obscene amounts of natural resources for a profit margin?! VA is approaching 500 data centers, CA is second with just under 300. TX is third with just over 250 data centers. OH comes in fourth, with 150 data centers. IN rounds out the top 5 states with 147. Be sure you access the embedded resource to see where your state is, in the data matrix that’s becoming all too commonplace.

Considering that many of the Big Data companies are buying/leasing many more acres than the ‘typical 10’, what does this do to the water tables in the area? While many sources featured in this article will address water use, electricity costs. Many don’t readily bring up other issues that can cause destruction in a community or town.

What about the healthcare needs of those injured while data center construction goes on? Will the need for more critical care hospitals be a part of the Big Data companies plan? What about the town or community? Many of these data centers are being built in rural areas, where an emergency visit to a hospital is not always possible. While there are property services[3] available to see if your land is valuable to a data center, they can also offer several items to consider.

Many of those who are losing land are upset about it, not trying to profit from it. Think about it, why did Mr. and Mrs. Homeowner or Mr. and Mrs. Farmer choose their land? Because they saw value that’s priceless!

As of 2023, after the United States expected profit of almost $100 billion, these countries stand to make a ‘pretty penny’ are (in order) China ($65.5 billion), Japan ($17.3 billion), Germany ($15.2 billion), UK ($14.1 billion), France ($9.3 billion), India ($7.4 billion) and Canada ($7 billion). (Source: Statista Global Data).

So, how much do these same countries spend on data center healthcare related costs?

The US alone is seeing a $4.5 billion increase[4] in data center related healthcare issues that directly impact public health systems. Of this amount, how much is devoted to those who have been injured in construction and/or maintenance of the data centers? In 2002, the National Institutes of Health stated that $11.5 billion[5] went to construction related (non-fatal) injuries.

With the existing tariffs, it’s harder to pin down what the other countries from Statista Global Data’s information are spending on data center healthcare expenses.

Data Center Job Safety:

Recently, a vice president of a global communications organization was injured while helping build a data center. His harrowing account, as well as details of the extent of his injuries can be found on his LinkedIn[6] account. Here’s an excerpt, “On Friday 20 June while working at a new Data Center construction site, I was waiting to start some testing with some other vendors we all were standing well behind the safety barrier while another team was energizing the MV transformer loop. When they energized the third transformer, all three MV transformers failed and there were 3 large booms, then one of transformer oil tank peeled back forming a chute facing in the direction I was standing the oil came out like a volcano high in the air over the heads of people closer than me.”

This should raise some important questions, if injury can happen to an experienced data vp, what can we expect for those workers hired who haven’t been as seasoned about workplace dangers? This ties back to the previous point about healthcare costs and proximity to emergency services.

In 2012, ServerLift[7] published an article stating that a very limited number of data center connected individuals were surveyed about the knowledge of data center injuries as well as the awareness concerning equipment dropped and damaged during construction. Injury knowledge was 52% while damaged equipment was 67%. When it comes to the sanctity of life, a mere 52% awareness isn’t enough. As far as damaged data center equipment, what cost of these losses will be passed on the citizen consumers? (*Note: More recent percentages for injury/lost equipment is not available.)

Related, is the fact that with components like oil, an increased fire risk is present. This 2025 article[8] stressed the need for local fire-fighters to ‘step up their game’ and to be prepared for these new dangers. Will this mean an increase in taxpayer dollars which support local fire departments? Since these big technology companies are extremely wealthy, why aren’t they providing a data center specific fire station? These are more avenues for We the People to be looking into. Why? Taxation is a huge issue, especially with those among us who have limited income and cannot afford any type of tax increase.

So what are some of the biggest data center workplace dangers? Based on a 2023 study[9], in order: 1) noise pollution, 2) overheating/fire risk, 3) electrical stress, 4) ergonomics and 5) only 1 worker present. These dangers exist inside the facility AND outside the facility! With increased risk to human life, why would these tech companies only need 1 worker present? What happens to this person should an emergency ensue? ‘Safety in numbers’ makes more practical sense.

Another 2023 article[10] stated that on-site injury risks, from across the world, were:

1) fire/electrical hazards, 2) cooling system failure, 3) physical security, 4) operational risk/human error, and 5) adhering to ‘industry standards’. Folks, take into consideration that data centers as an industry are relatively new, so has there been enough time and experience to create good standards? Take into consideration that increased fire risk means more water consumption; cooling systems require more water. Will workers have to sign non-disclosure agreements just to have employment? If any of this reminds you of Three Mile Island’s cooling disaster, you’re not far off the mark.

Three Mile Island, Resurrected

WESA media reported (as of July 7 2025[11])that Unit 1 of the facility is being prepped and primed to house a Microsoft Data Center. If you remember your history, it was Unit 2 that had the non-cooling reactor debacle. Considering the limited amount of harmful chemicals that were released to the public, it should be extremely concerning to anyone near Three Mile Island. It’s no secret that the communication to the public about what was happening was an absolute disaster.

Will the citizens demand more from Microsoft or the company managing the Unit 1 Center?

In 2024, NPR[12] reported that this renewed effort for Three Mile Island would add billions to PA’s economy. Folks, a repeated pattern of profit/economic gain over people, rears its ugly head yet again.

Believe it or not, with the push for more electricity, comes the renewed look into nuclear energy.

The very same energy that caused Three Mile Island to ‘meltdown’. The very same energy that caused the horrendous situation for Chernobyl[13]. If you’re curious about those few who still live near Chernobyl, or how the United Nations has inserted itself into what’s become of the area, you’ll want to read this article[14].

So with a renewed effort for nuclear energy in America, will this bring even more UN presence in our nation? What other ripple effects can we prepare for? Tariff-impacted supplies and more foreign investments in American land[15], a long and frustrating wait for Americans to see ‘safe reactors'[16] and their capability to produce any sort of energy. So this means a lot of money upfront to pay for the reactors and not much prospect for much sizable amounts of nuclear energy.

Why is this a concern for the average American? According to the Taxpayers for Common Sense, the nuclear energy industry receives a plethora of funding from the US government (ie: your tax dollars). Their 2021 primer[17] on the subject is well worth reading, if you’ve not seen it or heard of it. The main funneling entity of the US government is the U.S. Dept. of Energy.

Why is the U. S. Dept of Energy such a big supporter of nuclear energy? A direct quote from the website for the Office of Nuclear Energy[18] housed within the U.S. Dept. of Energy, “Nuclear energy is one of the most resilient, environmentally sustainable, and reliable energy sources on the grid today.”

This particular office has an international partnership with nuclear councils, as well as an inter-agency agreement to work with other US federal agencies.[19] In case you missed the 4 Executive Orders[20] issued by the current Administration concerning nuclear energy’s agenda for America, the Office of Nuclear Energy published a 9 point primer for you. There have also been other Executive Orders to speed up data centers, artificial intelligence and all that connects them.[21].

What Your State May Do

As a concerned citizen and avid researcher, I well understand the dangers these data centers represent. Both the issues being publicized and the issues not being talked about nearly enough (hence, this article). However, have you looked at your State Constitution lately? Have you looked at the legislation activity within your State government? What about your State’s Data or Technology Departments? Have you looked at your State’s Geographic Information Coordination Council to see how this interconnects to data centers? You should.

As a resident of the State of North Carolina, I uncovered each of these areas. While part of the public government my taxes help support/outright pay for, it’s part of my citizen actions, to look into.. What I discovered is that each of these State level entities changed the entire status of the NC Constitution to satisfy a set of federal mandates spelled out in the CHIPS and Science Act[22].

As we know from the APC (American Policy Center) toolkit, the connection from DC to your State is legislation AND funding!

So why did NC bend over backwards to amend the State Constitution to help pave the way for more data centers? To receive the millions of dollars of federal funding to adhere to the CHIPS and Science Act.

WHY? Because the CHIPS Act had been ‘sold’ as a federal technology investment project!

‘The CHIPS Act took federal level taxpayer money to direct federal science programs and related activities to be spread throughout America. It was never inserted in the U.S. Constitution for any federal activity or program to direct science.’
(an excerpt of mine from an article submitted for local publication)

The Takeaway:
To fight what’s in your backyard, you have to know where each avenue connected to data centers is located. If you miss even one source, you’ll be unprepared. The system created to enforce data centers is well funded, legislated and ready to pounce. We MUST be ready to use our citizen powers and actions to foil this agenda.

By Bradlee Dean

July 23, 2025

“To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.” – John 18:37

Recently, our radio affiliations representative told me a story regarding feedback from him representing “The Sons of Liberty.”  A radio station owner had told him that Bradlee Dean is too direct.  In response, our representative responded with “Why, because he tells the truth?”

Our representative then went on to tell me that he also represents a “doctor so and so” and his radio broadcast. He said that during what was labeled by the mainstream media as the “pandemic” that “doctor so and so’s” radio stations did not like him using the word “jab” and would like him to stop doing so.  Apparently, he obeyed his radio affiliates despite the facts.

Did you know that because he took heed to his radio affiliates in withholding the truth that the state where he was broadcasting from suffered the highest casualty mortality rate in the country?

This is the fruit of those who refuse to tell the truth, regardless if it costs lives.  Beware.

How about when it comes to the truth concerning the souls of men?

This reminds me of a story told of Desiderius Erasmus contending with the Reformer Martin Luther.

Luther is crossing swords with Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam.  Erasmus is taking the position during this great controversy of the 16th century of the reconciler, of the peacemaker, and he’s pleading with Luther not to be teaching his doctrines openly because they will cause an uproar.  For example, Erasmus said, “Luther you’re teaching on the sovereignty of God, and on the primacy of grace for, and you’re teaching them of the human will, these issues will create all kinds of fury said he, a floodgate of iniquity will be open.”  So, he cautions Luther, and pleads with him not to be teaching about these things.  In response, Luther becomes indignant and said “There cannot possibly ever be the presence of the Word of God in this world without an uproar following it anytime the truth of God is proclaimed.”  “Clearly,” Luther said, “no matter how gently, no matter how winsomely, no matter how charitable, when the Word of God is clearly proclaimed, Hell itself rises up in fury and controversy follows.

Luther said to Erasmus, “It’s a terrible burden for him that he hates the controversy that surrounds his teaching.”  He said, “I am not a stone, I’m not a person without feelings, I know that people hate me and say vile things about me, but it is my duty to preach the Word of God” (Hosea 6:5; John 7:7).

Today, people do not relate to that in this day and age.  The whole philosophy is “Don’t rock the boat, avoid controversy and fail to bear witness to the truth and avoid preaching the Gospel.”

Here’s where we have to look to Christ, who defined His entire mission in terms of bearing witness to the truth!
Friends, if Jesus was born to bear witness of the truth, then it would be ours to do the same.

We are not called to sacrifice the truth at the altar of peace, for if that were the case, we would settle for that which denies the sacrifice of Christ and only ends in a false peace.

In my column last week, NO Amnesty for Illegal Aliens, I covered the latest effort underway to give certain illegal aliens special treatment:

“What? Trump Says He’s Working on Legislation to Protect Illegal Alien Farm and Hospitality Workers – Says People Who Don’t Support Amnesty for Illegal Farm and Hospitality Workers are “Serious Radical Right People” (VIDEO), July 4, 2025. (The Trump conglomerate of holdings include hotels, golf courses and other hospitality businesses.)

This legislation is being cooked up by Trump’s new Agriculture Secretary, Brook Rollins and Susie Wiles, his Chief of Staff.  Trump apparently told his supporters at a rally at the Iowa State Fairgrounds Americans who don’t support amnesty for illegal farm and hospitality workers are “Serious Radical Right People”.  Really?  Doesn’t the Trump Organization own hotels and golf courses – hospitality workers.

On July 16, 2025, President Trump let go with this one which caused a massive firestorm:

BREAKING: Trump Blames Democrats for “Jeffrey Epstein Hoax” – “My PAST Supporters have Bought into this ‘Bullsh*t,’ Hook, Line, and Sinker… I Don’t Want Their Support Anymore!” OMG.

After I picked up my jaw off the ground, my first thought was something Hildebeast Clinton said in 2016 that broke her broom stick: “Notably, in September 2016, while speaking at a fundraiser in New York, Clinton infamously said Trump and half of his supporters belong in a “basket of deplorables.” Now — as her opinion piece from Wednesday made clear — she still holds onto that view and then some.” The Western Journal, Sept. 26, 2024

As I write this it also reminds me of something President Theodore Roosevelt said:

“The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole.

“Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile.

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or anyone else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about anyone else.” “Roosevelt in the Kansas City Star“, 149, May 7, 1918

In Trump’s opinion I am now a “serious radical right” like millions who voted for him as I did three times. Don’t support amnesty for illegal farm and hospitality workers and suddenly I’m the bad lady. Americans do want the truth about the of Jeffrey Epstein mess.  Was there a cover-up and who was paying for his lavish lifestyle?  The CIA? Who? Now President Trump doesn’t want me as a supporter of what he’s trying to get done for asking legitimate questions.

I don’t believe for a second Trump was involved in Epstein’s immoral and illegal activities and lifestyle.  If there was anything, the DemonRats would have had it plastered on a million billboards nationwide before the 2024 election.  (Jamie Raskin Flails After Host Corners Him on Why Dems Didn’t Care About the Epstein Files Until Now, July 18, 2025)

Elected officials who believe they are above the law right along with illegal aliens. Put her in a strait  jacket: LA Mayor Karen Bass’ Comment About Trump and the Border Was so Crazy Even Martha Raddatz Was WTF?!, July 20, 2025: “On Sunday, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass insanely said President Donald Trump had done nothing good with the border because he’s kept people from entering the country illegally.”

But President Trump must have received a lot of heat and appears to be making make some adjustments in his plans regarding amnesty which is good. Next we’ll see what those adjustments are:  (VIDEO) White House Press Sec Karoline Leavitt Responds to Amnesty Push by Salazar, Says Trump “Will not Support Amnesty” but Doesn’t Say What Trump Wants to See in “Work Program”, July 18, 2025.

Not amnesty but a new program only for our ag sector.  Returning to the issue of giving special treatment for agriculture and hospitality workers.  I covered this extensively in my column last week regarding the need for seasonal ag workers who follow OUR immigration laws.

Question of Pathway to Citizenship

Some argue that ILLEGAL aliens who smuggled themselves across our border 10-20 years ago and have been model “citizens” since, should be given special treatment to become LEGAL citizens.

That’s like saying, well, okay, I snuck across the border in violation of U.S. immigration laws, robbed a bank back in 1987 but then I got forged papers, hired illegally by a company, grocery store, have a family, am a good neighbor so I should be given special treatment.  And, I get to keep my house or car financed by a crime!

No matter how “nice” your illegal alien neighbor or co-worker is, this isn’t a popularity contest.  Reagan should NEVER have given amnesty to illegals because all he did was open the door for more to come here, steal jobs that Americans WILL and do, steal our resources like water, created a massive house and apt shortage in the mythical “sanctuary” states and/or cities while you struggle to pay your medical plan costs, that nice neighbor gets it free to treat all the diseases they brought with them.

Joe Biden’s handlers opened the border after President Trump was cheated out of his second term. The tidal wave hit and tens of millions of illegals have all but collapsed our medical system; treatment and availability of doctors and services for which they have NO right.

Ask me. I have a particular problem and have had to wait from 30-50 days for an appointment with a specialist.  I never divulge my sources, but fact:  Illegals are taking up available appointment dates and overloading ER hospitals in this West part of Texas flooded with illegals.  They simply present their federal “free” card while you sit around for HOURS waiting. Think I’m exaggerating?  Oh, and let’s not forget how this has driven up the cost of YOUR health care premiums while illegals raid your wallet.

Illegal aliens are entitled to NOTHING but a ticket back to where they came from regardless of when they got here or what country; under Biden, illegal aliens have come from over 100 countries. The list goes on.

Think the feds are going to fix the problem?  Great but it’s just the beginning: HHS Bars Illegal Aliens From Taxpayer-Funded Health Programs, July 11, 2025: “For too long, the government has diverted hardworking Americans’ tax dollars to incentivize illegal immigration,” HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said. “Today’s action changes that—it restores integrity to federal social programs, enforces the rule of law, and protects vital resources for the American people.”

“Several programs have been added to the definition of “federal public benefit” under the new rule, including programs controlled by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, health workforce grant programs, and most notably, Head Start programs for children.”

So, tell me Secretary Kennedy, just where in Art. 1 Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution does it authorize Congress to fund anything to do with education as it’s a Tenth Amendment issue – internal for the states.  It doesn’t nor is there any language authorizing CON-gress to fund “federal public benefits” – again, that falls to the states. I could write a whole column (and have over the past 3 decades) regarding the blatant disregard by CON-gress for the U.S. Constitution for votes.

Besides the endless crimes committed by illegal aliens (a neighbor says, he was such a nice man, such nice hard working people), the costs are bankrupting our hospitals, referring back to the column above: “In August 2024, Gov. Greg Abbott also signed an executive order requiring Texas hospitals to collect and report healthcare costs for illegal aliens every quarter.

“In April, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission reported that $121 million was incurred in a single month for healthcare costs for individuals who are not lawfully in the United States.” My tax dollars.

CBO: Medicaid Spending on Illegal Aliens Has Cost Taxpayers over $16.2 Billion Under Open Border Czar Harris, Oct. 4, 2024. Stealing the fruits of YOUR labor and your ability to afford to buy food, so please save the sob stories.  Illegals are entitled to be deported, period so that travesty has to stop and it must be done by your state legislators and signed by a governor into law. Medicaid is for Americans and naturalized Americans who legitimately need a helping hand.

BREAKING: Trump to Sign Executive Order to Ban ALL Federal Taxpayer Benefits to Illegal Aliens, Feb. 19, 2025.  (No doubt the Democrat/Communist Party USA will be filing lawsuits all over the country. – Trump should have also included all levels of state governments, but I thank him for getting this going.)

I started begging for that – the big magnet over a decade ago:  A Bill: Stop all Public Welfare in Any Form for Illegal Aliens, August 8, 2014.  Mine, also:  NO Amnesty for Illegal Aliens, July 14, 2025

RINO Rep. Maria Salazar Makes a Telling Remark During Interview Which Reveals What Happens Next If Her So-Called “Dignity Act” For Illegal Aliens Becomes Law (VIDEO), July 21, 2025

Instead of alerting ICE.  WATCH: Bureaucrat caught admitting to ‘bending the rules’ to give illegals benefits, May 29, 2025: “Deshaun Eli Mack, a Family Services Specialist with the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), has been caught on hidden camera admitting to intentionally violating state policies to provide government-funded benefits to undocumented immigrants.

“Mack detailed how he manipulates the system to offer extended emergency Medicaid coverage to illegals, stating, “I get them emergency medical all the time… just because I want to.”  We have laws and one can see what’s happened to this country once the illegitimte Biden administration took over thumbing their noses at many laws.  OUR beautiful America is turning into a lawless crap hole.

Sanctuary city Denver spending a whopping $356 million on migrants: study – Democratic Denver Mayor Mike Johnston says he would be willing to go to jail to protect migrants from deportation, Nov. 30, 2024.

“The CSI claims that the bulk of the $356 million spent on migrants was through education, with the city also splashing out on healthcare, hotels, transportation and childcare. Denver is a sanctuary city, meaning it does not enforce immigration law, nor does the city cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.”

Why do the people who live and work hard in the Denver metro area put up with that kind of sh*t? Well, Johnson is a member of the Democrat/Communist Party USA and who elected him?

READ:  No sanctuaries in “sanctuary cities”, Dec. 3, 2016 by Dr. Edwin Vieira.  Too bad President Trump’s lawyers didn’t use the laws on the books to stop this “sanctuary” BS when he was president the first time.

Texas Bans Sanctuary Cities, May 7, 2017: “Governor Greg Abbott today signed legislation banning sanctuary cities in the state of Texas. Senate Bill 4 (SB 4) requires local government entities and law enforcement officials to comply with federal immigration laws and detainer requests, and creates criminal penalties for entities that do not enforce the law. Banning sanctuary cities was one of Governor Abbott’s emergency legislative priorities.

“As Governor, my top priority is public safety, and this bill furthers that objective by keeping dangerous criminals off our streets,” said Governor Abbott.

“It’s inexcusable to release individuals from jail that have been charged with heinous crimes like sexual assault against minors, domestic violence and robbery. There are deadly consequences to not enforcing the law, and Texas has now become a state where those practices are not tolerated. With this bill we are doing away with those that seek to promote lawlessness in Texas.

“As part of the legislation, entities and officials that do not comply with the law could face the following penalties:  A civil penalty for entities in violation of the law of up to $25,500 for each day of the violation.

“A class A misdemeanor for a sheriff, chief of police, or constable who fails to comply with federal immigration detainer requests. Removal from office for any elected or appointed official who does not comply with the law.”

So where’s the other “red” states governors?

There is only one pathway for citizenship:  You either refuse to leave will not be allowed to apply for citizenship or leave now, voluntarily, and then do it the legal way.  ANY form of amnesty is just an invitation for more illegals to stay here and work jobs that belong to Americans – with the exception of a special program only for agriculture.

That probably sounds mean on my part but I’ve watched the destruction caused by illegals for decades, not to mention their vicious, violent crimes, child sex trafficking, smuggling in deadly fentanyl killing so many Americans and stealing from me for their freebies.  If you’ve read NWV’s writer, Frosty Wooldridge on this issue, it should scare you into next year.  Consequences Of 25 Million Illegal Aliens In America // Unleash Mass Deportation: Due Process for Citizens, Not Illegal Aliens // What Are Sanctuary Cities REALLY Costing American Citizens?

Strong leadership (I was a staunch supporter of Margaret Thatcher) requires making difficult decisions.  I am thankful Tom Homan, our White House Border Czar who is fearless is heading up the round up.  He and all the brave border patrol agents and ICE have been rounding up and jailing the worst of the worst illegals right along with the “nice people who run a little business up the street but smuggled themselves across OUR border 15 years ago.  They knew “John Law” could someday knock on the door so they should have legally applied for entry and citizenship.

Africa deserves the same opportunity for development that the West took for granted, unburdened by a green agenda that keeps the continent energy-poor and dependent.

For South Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa where electricity deficits stifle growth, Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) offer a promising solution.

With the Trump Administration poised to reshape global electricity policy, the U.S. has a unique opportunity to lead the West in supporting Africa’s electricity-driven progress through SMRs. The Trump administration should lead Western nations in abandoning hypocritical restrictions and thus become a collaborator in advancing African electricity security

The Electricity Crisis in Sub-Saharan Africa

Sub-Saharan Africa faces a dire electricity crisis. Over 600 million people—more than 40% of the continent’s population—lack access to electricity, a figure projected to rise to 657 million by 2030 without intervention. This deficit hampers industrialization, healthcare, and education, trapping millions in poverty. South Africa, with its Koeberg Nuclear Power Station is the only country in Africa with operational nuclear power, yet even here, electricity reliability remains a challenge.

The West has built its prosperity on an abundant supply chain of products and transportation fuels made from fossil fuels, and abundant electricity. Now, through the Marshall Plan, it pressures Africa to adopt renewable-heavy policies that prioritizes climate goals over developmental reality. Solar and wind can only generate intermittent electricity and is costly in regions with limited grid infrastructure, unable to deliver the consistent baseload power required for industrial growth.

Forcing Africa into a renewable-only path risks perpetuating electricity poverty, a form of hypocrisy that is bullying the world’s poor.

Small Modular Reactors: A Game-Changer for Africa

Enter Small Modular Reactors, a technology ideally suited to address Africa’s electricity challenges. Unlike traditional large-scale nuclear plants, which require significant upfront costs and extensive water for cooling, SMRs are compact, scalable, and designed for flexibility. With outputs typically ranging from 10 to 300 MW, SMRs can power small towns, mining operations, or urban centers, making them perfect for Africa’s diverse and often remote landscapes.

South Africa has emerged as a global leader in SMR development, particularly through its Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR) and its successor, the HTMR-100. Initiated in the 1990s, the PBMR uses helium gas for cooling, eliminating the need for large water bodies—a critical advantage in arid regions. The HTMR-100, developed privately after the PBMR project stalled in 2010 due to financial constraints, is designed for rapid deployment and affordability, with off-the-shelf components reducing costs. A single unit can power a large town or mining complex, and its fuel can be safely stockpiled for years, ensuring reliability even in remote areas.

Recent developments signal a revival. South Africa’s Energy Minister has committed to a 2,500 MW nuclear build program, explicitly endorsing SMRs.

The Nuclear Renaissance and U.S. Leadership

The global resurgence of nuclear power, spurred by the Trump Administration’s recent executive orders, aligns with Africa’s needs. By addressing regulatory, supply, and siting challenges, these orders have ignited a nuclear stock rally, with companies like Nano Nuclear, Oklo, and NuScale leading the charge. As U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum declared, “Mark this day on your calendar. This is going to turn the clock back on over 50 years of overregulation.” Whether this marks a true nuclear renaissance or a speculative bubble, the market’s optimism backed by bipartisan support, signals a shift toward nuclear power as a reliable, clean electricity source.

For Africa, Generation IV SMRs offer a transformative opportunity. Their modular design allows factory-based construction and on-site assembly, reducing costs and deployment times compared to traditional reactors. In countries with nuclear experience like South Africa, SMRs could be deployed in as little as about 5 years. Technologies like the HTMR-100, with passive safety features, enhance safety and minimize risks, addressing concerns about radiation and proliferation.

The Role of the Trump Administration

The Trump Administration’s pro-nuclear stance presents a golden opportunity. By investing in SMR projects, the U.S. can support Africa’s electricity goals while fostering economic partnerships. It’s time to reject Western bullying and prioritize Africa’s development, countering its reliance on foreign powers like Russia and China, which dominate nuclear exports to Africa.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) relies on the Linear No-Threshold (LNT) model, established in the 1950s, to regulate radiation exposure, assuming all doses linearly increase cancer risk. However, this model is criticized for ignoring biological evidence of DNA repair, apoptosis, and adaptive responses that mitigate low-dose radiation effects, potentially overestimating harm from nuclear power plant releases by orders of magnitude.

Studies, including those from high-background radiation areas and animal models, suggest low doses may stimulate protective responses (hormesis). The LNT model’s adoption, influenced by historical anti-nuclear biases rather than low-dose data, drives overly conservative regulations, inflating costs and public fear.

The NRC should urgently review LNT against threshold or hormesis models, integrating modern biological and epidemiological evidence, to ensure regulations reflect current science and balance safety with practicality.

Seizing the Moment

Africa’s right to develop is undeniable, and SMRs are a critical tool to achieve it. South Africa’s leadership in SMR technology, coupled with growing interest across Sub-Saharan Africa, signals a path to electricity security and economic growth. The Trump Administration can lead the West in supporting this vision, dismantling restrictive green mandates and investing in Africa’s nuclear future. Denying Africa access to electricity is not justice—it’s a betrayal. By championing SMRs, the U.S. can help power Africa’s rise, ensuring prosperity for the continent and stability for the world. The time to act is now.

The United States has committed numerous Acts of War against Russia this year (2022).  This is not a value judgment.  I make no claim here about whether the United States has acted wisely, or has acted with justification.  I simply note it.  —James A. Nollet

Ukraine had quite serious impact on the many Russians. They could see that ordinary people in Ukraine which is a bordering state, very close to Russia, the people of this state are, they didn’t want to tolerate anymore the power abuse by Ukrainian officials. —Garry Kasparov

We have said that this is actually a conflict between Russia and the collective West. And the main country of the collective West is the United States of America. —Dmitry Peskov of the Kremlin.

President Trump recently stated that we had given Ukraine $350 billion.  Actual funds given were $181 billion, but perhaps with military equipment it comes to $350 billion.

The U.S. Constitution does not allow for aid to foreign countries, but with political maneuvering, the House and Senate have thrown taxpayer dollars around the world.  Because of varying historical record-keeping and definitions of “foreign aid,” it is difficult to say how many American tax dollars have been spent on foreign countries since America’s inception.

By the end of World War II, the US has provided over $3.8 trillion in foreign aid, adjusted for inflation. The average annual spending between 1946 and 2023 was $51.4 billion. U.S. international transactions in 2024 increased U.S. liabilities to foreign residents by $2.05 trillion, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).

So how does the government get away with spending our tax dollars on other countries? In Article I, Section 8, Clause 1, the U.S. Constitution grants Congress the power to “lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defense and general Welfare of the United States.”  This “Spending Clause” has been interpreted to allow for foreign aid, as it falls under the broad definition of “general welfare”. The Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, for example, is a law passed by Congress that authorizes the President to provide assistance to foreign countries.

General welfare is for the United States, as the constitution states, not foreign governments.  The Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 was passed and signed into law in September of 1961 by President John F. Kennedy.  It replaced President Truman’s 1951 Mutual Security Act.  In my book, it is unconstitutional and should be overturned by the Supreme Court.  However, we’ve seen enough high court decisions to know for certain that all of the Supremes do not know the U.S. Constitution.  If they did, you wouldn’t have a 6-3 decision regarding whether or not the Executive Branch has the right to fire people from the Department of Education.

While the Constitution doesn’t explicitly forbid foreign aid, it does establish checks and balances on the power to spend money. Article I, Section 8, Clause 1, known as the Spending Clause, grants Congress the power to tax and spend, but it also states that money can only be drawn from the Treasury “in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law”. This means that any spending, including foreign aid, must be authorized by an act of Congress. The House and Senate have authorized giving away billions to foreign countries.

Congress must stop the latest handout of military arms to Ukraine even though it is allegedly being paid for by NATO.  As a member of NATO, we are giving away stored military hardware to a foreign country that we may someday need. And no one has ever answered the question as to why we even belong to NATO!

“President Joe Biden stated that investing in Ukraine’s freedom is a small price to pay to punish Russian aggression. J.D. Vance suggested that providing Americans with economic upside in Ukraine’s future is the best security guarantee. According to the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition, it is in the national interest to give Ukraine the tools to defeat Vladimir Putin. House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul remarked that Ukraine’s success in repelling the invasion will set the stage for this century and that funding is an investment in the future.”

War hawks…and money.

Volodymyr Zelensky

Volodymyr Zelensky was an actor and comedian prior to his election.  Clips of his “performances” are found on the internet, most of which are not fit for discussion.  In April of 2019, he was elected President of Ukraine.

President Zelensky appeared as a hologram at the globalist Founders Forum in London on June 15, 2022. It was a gathering of tech entrepreneurs in the U.K., to call on Europe’s tech leaders to help rebuild Ukraine and to announce a “digital lend-lease.”

Zelensky promoted a future where Ukraine adopts a “digital government where all services to people and companies will be provided” and a “100% cashless and paperless” society will emerge.

He also advocated for the use of artificial intelligence in the judicial system.

“Our goal is to make Ukraine the freest digital state in the world,” Zelensky stated.

“Ukraine is a chance for a global digital revolution, a chance for every technology company and a chance for every visionary to show their value, skills, technologies and ambitions.”

Ukraine will not be in the running for one of the world’s most free states if Zelensky is able to ram through the dystopian wishes of his technocrat masters in the World Economic Forum, at Davos and elsewhere.

Ukrainian elections were cancelled by Zelensky who declared martial law in February of 2022 because of the war.

The Peace Deal

There was a peace deal in 2022 between Russia and Ukraine.  And Zelensky had agreed not to join NATO.

President Biden’s former U.S. Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, Victoria Nuland, confirmed that the West advised Ukraine to reject the 2022 peace deal with Russia.  The peace process had collapsed after Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s intervention.  Nuland stated that the peace deal included limits on Ukraine’s weapons, neutering its military.  However, the agreement put no restraints on Russia’s military capabilities.  Questions from Ukrainian and international officials led to the deal’s failure.

The West advised Ukraine to continue fighting instead of accepting the deal.

Nuland had previously acknowledged that both Moscow and Kiev initially sought a diplomatic solution in early 2022.  Putin claimed the U.S. and European elites wanted to strategically defeat Russia and squash the peace process.  The draft agreement in Istanbul between Russia and Ukraine was formulated during March and April 2022, following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine and would have ended hostilities.  Ukraine was ready to limit their military and declare neutrality and Moscow was prepared to offer security guarantees to Ukraine.  Boris Johnson allegedly delivered the message to Zelensky to reject the agreement.

Nuland’s involvement in Ukrainian affairs stretches back to the 2014 Western backed coup in Kiev.  Nuland served as the Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs at the United States Department of State under Obama where she was a major organizer and planner in the 2013-2014 “orange revolution” overthrow and replacement of Ukraine’s democratically elected government with a coalition of politicians covertly supported by CIA-funded foundations.

Nuland resigned in March of 2024 after acknowledging U.S. policy failures.

Putin is allegedly still open to peace talks based on the Istanbul agreement, but not with some of the latest demands.

NATO and Bioweapon Labs

Russian officials have long claimed that during negotiations about German reunification, Western leaders gave verbal assurances that NATO would not expand eastward.  Any expansion by NATO, particularly after the collapse of the Soviet Union, has been seen as a violation of the promises and a threat to Russia’s security.

President Putin has repeatedly stated that NATO expansion is a major factor in Russia’s decision to invade Ukraine because of the broken promises.

The United Nations, National Public Radio and the British Broadcasting Corporation claim there is no proof that Ukraine is developing bioweapons in labs funded by the US government and her military on the borders of Russia.  Do we know for certain that this was Russian disinformation?  Of course not, but it is what Russia has suggested.

Victoria Nuland earlier confirmed the presence of biological research facilities on the territory of Ukraine. The United States wants to prevent them from falling under the control of the Russian forces.

One America News reported the following:

Hunter Biden’s company, Rosemont Seneca, invested half a million in the San Francisco startup Metabiota, who has been linked to biological research and related activities in Ukraine. Multiple sources indicate that Metabiota, along with other U.S. private companies, was contracted by the U.S. Department of Defense’s (DoD) Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) to conduct and finance biological research in Ukraine.

Hunter secured millions through various firms, including Goldman Sachs.  Metabiota compiles data from around the world to predict disease outbreaks. The company is a partner with USAID‘s PREDICT and PREVENT programs.

Metabiota is a sub-contractor for the Defense Department’s engineering firm, Black and Veatch. Reports, legal proceedings, and articles related to Black & Veatch highlight several areas where the company’s conduct has drawn scrutiny or led to legal disputes. The U.S. DOD issued a contract for COVID-19 Research in Ukraine three months before COVID-19 officially existed.  Government funding records showed that the DOD awarded $370,000 to biolabs in Ukraine for COVID-19 research in November of 2019.  This was three months before the WHO even named the Chinese virus.

The U.S. and Hunter Biden were officially helping to fund research into Coronavirus before it officially existed at the same labs that the State Department also insisted didn’t exist. And which biolab received this generous donation to conduct research on the Chinese virus? Black and Veatch Special Projects Corp, the same lab Hunter Biden was helping to fund. And while Hunter was on the board of the Ukrainian gas company, Burisma, he helped set up introductions to officials at the biolabs run by Metabiota.

We have the disgraced son of the Vice-President hired to do favors for a corrupt Ukrainian gas company who is also connecting that company with a bioweapons research firm doing research on the Coronavirus before it was even released.

One has to wonder if Joe Biden is personally responsible for helping to create COVID-19. Moscow was saying all of this from the beginning. Moscow warned the world that secret American warfare labs were operating in Ukraine developing bioweapons for military purposes.  We dismissed it as Russian propaganda.

It actually looks like another reason for the invasion of Ukraine was to prevent them from using these bioweapons against Russia and the rest of the world.  Did Russia have a moral obligation to fight back against the bioterrorism America is apparently conducting in Ukraine?  Is it a coincidence that one of the biggest bioweapons labs in the world is located in Mariupol, Ukraine which Russia fought to liberate from the Ukrainian Nazis?

Russia is not the aggressor here.  In reality, it’s the United States and the Pentagon with its allies in Europe and NATO who are responsible for triggering and instigating this conflict.

The critics and warmongers call this Russian propaganda, but these are the facts from evidence.

The World Health Organization (WHO) advised Ukraine to destroy high-threat pathogens housed in these facilities to prevent potential spills and the spread of disease, especially given the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. “This recommendation is for safety reasons and doesn’t imply involvement in bioweapons development.”

Azov Battalion

In February 2024, Fox News’ host Bret Baier traveled to Ukraine to interview President Volodymyr Zelenskyy about the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. It was the first interview Zelenskyy had done on the front lines of the war.  In that interview, Zelensky told that he had put the Azov Battalion in the Ukrainian Army, but Fox News cut it from the interview.

The infantry military unit was initially formed as a volunteer group in May 2014 out of the ultra-nationalist Patriot of Ukraine gang, and the neo-Nazi Social National Assembly (SNA) group. Both groups engaged in xenophobic and neo-Nazi ideals and physically assaulted migrants, the Roma community and people opposing their views.

The unit has drawn controversy over its early and continuing association with neo-Nazi ideology, its use of controversial symbols linked to Nazism, especially the swastika and the Waffen SS, and early allegations that members of the unit participated in human rights violations. Photos of Nazi symbols are found on Ukrainian helmets.

In this video, Ex-UK PM Boris Johnson calls Ukrainian neo-Nazis “heroes,” and urges his fellow private club members to give yet more weapons to Ukraine.

The Russian Website RT states, “Ukraine is the only country in the world that has integrated openly neo-Nazi militias into its national military, and while these militias were once described by Western media as “neo-Nazi,” they are now referred to as “far-right groups.” Since Russian troops entered Ukraine in February, stashes of Nazi paraphernalia have been found in the houses and bases of these militia members, and social media accounts run by the Ukrainian government have posted similar images of soldiers wearing Nazi and far-right symbols.”

Conclusion

Negotiations to end the war have stalled. President Trump and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte announced they would give Ukraine new American weapons bought by European allies. And President Trump threatened massive new sanctions on Russia if there is no cease-fire established by early September.

One of President Trump’s closest and wisest advisors told him long ago that he and President Putin could and should become friends and allies.  Both love their countries and their people.

He said, “Trump and Putin could have created a friendship of mutual respect and built a relationship that would have benefited both their countries had the Democrats not destroyed that possibility back in 2017.  Instead, the Democrats threw both of them under the bus, and Putin is now closer to China and Iran when a friendship with America could have been forged long ago to both country’s benefits.”

July 21, 2025

Over 30 years ago, this was in mid ‘90s, – pre-internet – meetings were held in Western Montana, Idaho, Eastern Washington, and Oregon. These were consensus meeting – some of the earliest after the Rio Accord establishing Agenda 21/Sustainable Development was signed onto by over 100 world leaders. I was living in Helena, Montana at the time and somehow was invited to attend. The meeting was projected live from Washington, D.C. to each location. It was the introduction of a plan to return the Columbia River Basin to pre-Columbian times.

How did the powers-that-be – the globalists, Marxists, intend to do that? Keep in mind, this was a consensus meeting. The intent of these meetings is to bring all, or the majority of, attendees to agreement with the plan put before us. As I pointed out in an earlier article, The major point of that meeting was that the Columbia River Basin had to be returned to the state it was before Columbus. In unspoken words, “NO WHITE MAN”, but a lot more was presented to drown out NO WHITE MAN in basic recently the 1984 Orwellian doublespeak.

In a draconian way, the global elite want that area to be re-wilded, to be part of the Wildlands Project. But at this Charrette (consensus meeting), they let us know that they would start by removing only the non-indigenous peoples and their development. Tribal members can stay but the dams gotta go.

Shortly after Agenda 21 – the plan to build a one-world government was unconstitutionally decreed to be the law now (which was never even put up for a vote in the Senate – a “must” for treaties) yet was put into every department of the federal government by V.P. Al Gore’s “reinvention of government”. Now, if you look, you can find dams being removed — or in line to be removed — across America, Europe, and much of the world — usually for non-existing “ecological reason”. Those that aren’t in line to be removed have other capacities that can be utilized to hinder/reduce human uses for the supposed benefit to endangered or threatened species. Of course, the dams originally were built for multi-purpose usage, especially for hydropower. Now the so-called green energies of wind and solar are touted to be the be-all and end-all of clean energies. Yet, these provide irregular electricity versus hydropower which is reliable and always available.

One dam is now being reconfigured to destroy drinking water for local residents. The Detroit Dam on the North Santiam River in Oregon provides drinking water for the cities of Stayton and Salem – the Capitol of Oregon, but in order to provide that drinkable water, the city uses Slow Sand Filters that operate effectively only when water turbidity remains below 10 NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Units, according to Rob Taylor in the Northwest Observer. The “U.S. Army Corps of Engineers proposed a deep-water drawdown at Detroit Lake to improve fish passage for endangered salmon and steelhead possibly. Similar projects have produced turbidity levels reaching 2,700 NTU, rendering treatment facilities ineffective. Killing the fishing process. Currently, a typical historical drawdown occurs yearly”.

Taylor continues: “Federal environmental mandates that protect endangered fish species conflict with the fundamental human need for clean drinking water.

“In addition, predation pressure, particularly from growing sea lion populations, represents another critical variable often underemphasized in policy discussions. These natural predators can significantly impact salmon runs, creating a predator-prey imbalance that officials have overlooked in declining Salmon populations.”

Lt. Robert Powell, USCG, noted that anyone who has actual experience in fishing from many miles out at sea to the complete hypocritical handling of the predator to the salmon and other species at the river entrances, docks from San Francisco all up the west coast can smell and view the up to 2500-pound males. Sea lion count is out of species food supply balance. Photos and anecdotal accounts noted a much lower count, while a higher fish species counts. New and more valid research shows a complete correlation between sea lion numbers and declining fishery numbers.

Here is the false basis for dam renewal. Dams are the reason for declining fish runs. While that is great fodder for fund-raising by the NGOs, junk science and outright ideological agitprop have tainted the true need for discourse.  The issue of unintentional mis-application of science ( bias & zealotry ) is manifest in review of this NOAA document:  https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/species/steller-sea-lion

Robert Powell stated that the Corp. of Engineers has information on and initially showed interest in a device that would be a one step at a time approach to protection of the fisheries, especially at the dams, in front of the fish ladders.  The intent for years in the open media publishing and environmental movement, has been dam removal. This in fact was done, in Southern Oregon, to horrific damage, and done possibly illegally. Tort claims will tell in this, as violations of the ESA, interestingly occurred to thousands of fish and other species and a complete elk herd. Taxpayers are the victims, and the tribes are being used by groups with diabolic intent. This is happening because of the Woke education, and endless pandering to emotion versus common sense. With humor, if your eyes confuse you, your nose with take up the slack at Newport Oregon.

Taylor points out that a similar drawdown was carried out at Green Peter Reservoir that “damaged Lebanon, Sweet Home, and Albany water treatment systems. These communities are now pursuing legal action against the Army Corps of Engineers for $37 million in damages, highlighting the real-world consequences of well-intentioned environmental projects implemented without adequate consideration for downstream water users.” He also noted that there were other factors that could very well be the problem with the fish population – and not the dam water levels.

Back to the beginning – the Columbia River Project. They have made great advances toward their initial design – removing the white man. The waters of the Columbia River Basin in Montana are all now controlled by the tribes. But Trump just pulled the funding out of the project. Where it will go from here is anyone’s guess. Yet, it should wake people up to all the environmental hogwash and begin again with what is right for all parties and what is right vis a vis sound science, reason, and common sense. May those become the determinants in the Oregon dams and others.

You see adults and teens staring down at their cell phones at every conceivable location in the world. You may see them tapping on their cell phones at bus stops, in the park, while riding their bicycles, while skiing, in the weight room, at the pool, on the beach, while attending a lecture, in church, in classrooms…virtually everywhere in America and around the world.

Cell phones may prove more deadly than the Bubonic Plague of the 14th century.

“The Black Death was the bubonic plague pandemic that occurred in Europe from 1346 to 1353. It was one of the most fatal pandemics in human history; as many as 50 million people perished, perhaps 50 percent of Europe’s 14th century population.”

Today, “Currently, more than half of US teens spend an average of 7 hours and 22 minutes of daily screen time on their cellphones.” The other 50 percent spend anywhere from an hour to five hours. The horrific use and hours of cellphone usage may prove to “kill” normal thought processes, creative ideas, critical thinking, rational understanding and common sense.

In other words, cellphones and social media addict children and adults to a life of staring into a small screen…with nothing to show for it…nothing gained from it…and, an astounding waste of 40 to 50 hours a week. It ruins workplace productivity. It also degrades interpersonal relationships and one-on-one communication, and community among humans beings.

It’s pretty deadly, too. One of my colleagues crossed Broadway Blvd in Denver while tapping away on his cellphone. He wasn’t looking for traffic. A car ran over him. He now lives in his wheel chair with brain damage that dropped his mind to about a five year old.

As reported on the news (The Middle), a high school teacher suffered when one of her students took a picture of her in class, and then, converted it to AI that rendered her as a nude Playboy model. Then, he circulated it to the entire school. She was devastated! She resigned and may never recover from the trauma. What happened to the student? Nothing. What happened to the teacher? Her life-path drastically and tragically changed for the worse.

While I taught school in the 70’s through the 90’s, students passing notes made for a tiny distraction in my classrooms. Today, those same students in their classrooms watch Netflix movies, play games, watch pornography, and generally pay little attention to their teachers. Thus, they fail to learn math, science, history, writing, chemistry, biology, computer science, art and physical education. Or, they become mediocre students with a mediocre life in front of them.

Another issue surfaces called, “Text Neck”, as reported by chiropractors across the nation. A healthy human being enjoys a “C curve” from his or her 5 cervical vertebra in his or her necks. But when a person spends seven hours a day with his or her head bent down, they destroy the “C curve” by straightening it out. You’ve probably seen old people whose neck forces their heads forward with a straight extension. They’ve lost their “C curve.” It messes with their nerve impulses that direct the body’s functions.

Additionally, when I hit the weight room six days a week, I have to wait for teens tapping on their cellphones while resting on the sitting benchpress, sitting on the lat pull-down, sitting on the sit-up machine, sitting on the curling machine, and sitting on the quad machine. They sit and tap up to 10…even 15 minutes. Once I asked a teen to let me use the benchpress after he had been tapping for 10 minutes. He said, “Dude, I’m between sets…don’t get your pants in a twist.” Not wanting to get really p*ssed off, I just walked away. I don’t care to get into confrontation in the weight room. I’m there to exercise and work my body…not get into a conflict with an addicted cellphone user.

At the same time, I tried to get cellphones banned from the weight room. That didn’t work, either. It’s a different world where etiquette has been replaced by arrogance, and/or self-importance. It’s going to be interesting how it’s all going to work out in the coming years.

As reported, texting while driving caused: “In 2024, distracted driving, including texting while driving, continued to be a significant safety concern in the US, contributing to thousands of deaths and injuries. Approximately 3,000 deaths and over 400,000 injuries were attributed to texting while operating a vehicle.” I actually saw a bus driver texting while driving once in Denver traffic. I reported the bus, the time and plates. They wanted a picture…which I didn’t have because I was driving my motorcycle at the time. Tell me that 3,000 annual deaths and 400,000 injuries don’t add up to another form of “Black Death.”

“In the U.S., there are approximately 372,682,000 cell phones in use, according to World Population Review in 2022. This number represents a significant portion of the population, with a large percentage of Americans owning smartphones. A Pew Research Center report indicates that 98% of Americans own a cellphone of some kind, with 91% of those being smartphones.”

In other words, the Black Brain Death of children and adults in the 21st century may be greater than the Black Death of the 14th century.

When you look at how it’s twisting our young peoples’ minds, will it not change the way they operate in the world? Will they enjoy learning how to think critically? Will they learn reasoning? How will their bodies be healthfully sustained? Will they develop common sense? How will they learn to communicate beyond speaking to an AI girlfriend or boyfriend who isn’t real? What about their physical well-being? What about the mass shootings in schools?

If you read Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, or George Orwell’s 1984, I think young Americans and America are tripping into an entirely new “Black Death” that’s killing our young peoples’ minds. It’s also affecting their bodies with horrific consequences such as obesity, diabetes, cancer, heart disease from eating junk foods, no exercise, and mental/emotional problems exploding our teen suicide rates.

At some point, we need to get out in front of the “Black Death” of the 21st century: Cellphones and Social Media.

What are my solutions?

♦ No child needs a cellphone before the age of 18. Make them pay for their own cellphone after age 18.
♦ All cellphones should be banned from high schools. Either check them at the door or don’t bring them to school.
♦ No cell phone use while driving. Make the fine for driving while texting $10,000.00 on first offense, and $20,000.00 on second offense, and loss of license for five years on third offense. If that doesn’t do it, for a 4th offense, loss of license for life.
♦ If parents allow a cellphone, they must buy blockers from pornography sites, from violent movies, from violent apps, and anything that would be detrimental to their children’s minds.

Finally, if parents are too stupid or careless, it’s anyone’s guess as to who their children will kill while texting, or become perverts, or school shooters, or commit some crime they learned from their cellphones.

I’m sure I haven’t covered all the solutions. What other factors did I miss? What are your solutions so that I may write a Part 2 for this series? We, as a society, NEED to address this “Black Mind Death” of the 21st century before it destroys any chance for normalcy, decency and commonality for all Americans.

I have no doubt that God’s Word gives us all the information we need to know, and nothing is hidden from us that we, as Christ followers, must understand. But the Bible is also filled with information that is not YET for us all to understand.  This is especially true when it comes to Bible prophecy. There are certain things we can only speculate upon. Even as we see current world events lining up with Scripture references, there are some things we’re not ready to fully understand, and God knows that. Indeed, if we knew with absolute certainty the dates, times and events about to take place, many of our hearts would fail us for fear.

In Daniel 11, we have this: “Those who are wise will instruct many, though for a time they will fall by the sword or be burned or captured or plundered.  When they fall, they will receive a little help and many who are not sincere will join them.  Some of the wise will stumble, so that they may be refined, purified, and made spotless until the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time.”

I think this is pretty clear. We have wise Bible scholars, instructing many, and they’re being persecuted because of it. They’re being cut down by the sword, burned, falsely imprisoned and plundered.  There are also those who are not sincere Christ-followers who are joining them, but only to infiltrate, cause division and bring persecution. We also read that some of the wise teachers will stumble, and this too is for God’s good purposes. It’s so that they may be refined, purified and made spotless… even the most sincere Christ-followers often need a “wilderness experience” or “character cleansing” in order to prepare us for the work ahead — dangerous work, hard work, life-and-death work that will fall on our shoulders in the last of the last days.

And of those last days, Daniel 12 tells us, “There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then.  But at that time, your people — everyone whose name is found written in the Book — will be delivered.  Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.”

And then, Daniel was instructed to roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end, “when many will go to and fro and knowledge will be increased.” I believe Daniel then observed Jesus Himself, clothed in linen, and standing above the waters of the river. Daniel states that the man clothed in linen lifted his hands toward heaven and stated that “when the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed.” Daniel wanted to know more, but it was not to be. Instead, he was told, “Go your way, Daniel, because the words are rolled up and sealed until the time of the end.  Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked.  None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.”

What can we learn from this area of Scripture? Well meaning, wise Bible teachers will attempt to instruct the lost but they will be persecuted, falsely imprisoned and killed. Their groups and assemblies will be infiltrated by ravening wolves. While this will be horrific, it will serve God’s purposes of refining these Godly ones and preparing their hearts and souls for eternity.

There will come a time of great distress, the likes of which the world has never known before.  Christians will not escape persecution. In fact, we’re told here that the end will not come until the power of the holy people has been finally broken.

Regardless, the information regarding the last days is rolled up in a sealed scroll and will not be revealed until the time of the end when knowledge is greatly increased and people go to and fro.

We should understand that while knowledge will increase, that doesn’t necessarily mean wisdom will increase. The last few years have shown us the insanity of our human, so-called “knowledge.” We think ourselves to be wise, but fools rule the world. Knowledge doesn’t always translate to wisdom.

As I look at the big picture of history, it’s amazing what has taken place in just the past 100 years. A hundred years ago, most people were still riding animals — horses — for transportation. The automobile was relatively new. Most rural homes had no indoor plumbing.  Only 35% of households had a telephone. Television wasn’t introduced to the public until 1926, and “talking pictures” began in 1927.

The Communist Party of China was created in 1921 and the USSR a year later. It was in 1920 that the League of Nations was founded, but the United States voted against joining. Also in 1920, instead of welcoming foreign enemies and rolling out the red carpet for them, our Department of Justice was diligent in making sure those invited to our country truly wanted to be Americans… and they arrested and deported 6,000 foreign aliens suspected of being radical Leftists, Communists and anarchists. Today, the Leftists, Communists and anarchists are running the country — straight into the ground, purposely intent on destroying it. It seems we’re not as smart as we think we are.

Knowledge has increased at an exponential rate over the past 100 years. Just think: we now have a Super Hadron Collider known as CERN located 100 meters below the surface of the earth in Switzerland, where engineers and physicists are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Some say CERN is opening portals and black holes allowing inter-dimensional beings to pass back and forth  — thus, the increased demonic activity we’re seeing every day now. We don’t understand what we’re messing with.

In 2016, a video emerged from the CERN site showing a group of people wearing dark robes, standing in front of the statue of the goddess Shiva, which adorns the entrance to the facility, stabbing a woman in a satanic death cult ritual. A CERN spokesman said the incident was merely a prank orchestrated by people who had “badge access” to the site. But why would a so-called scientific facility ever do this? And how will we ever know for sure what this really was? With what we already know for sure about the Globalist, demonic agenda, are these not legitimate questions?

We’ve “progressed” so far in our human relativism, that satanic ritual abuse and killings have now become very, very real — and children are particular targets. We set up statues of the demon “Baphomet” for young children to sit on Satan’s lap and have their picture taken. We honor Satan in every major public event.  You may accuse me of being a “conspiracy theorist.” That’s fine. Not so long ago, everything we know today about the origins of ‘COVID’ and the purposes of the masks, lockdowns and jabs were called “conspiracy theories” too. Funny how all those theories turned out to be actual, real  conspiracies — and they’re still going on, and we’re still being mocked by government, media, social media and health officials. But the truth — like the cat — is impossible to stuff back in the bag once it’s gotten out.

One thing that should concern us all these days especially is the advancement of technology, the abundance of cell phones, and in particular, “SMART” phones.

Mobile phones first made their appearance in the 1970s, and only the rich and famous had them. But by the early 1990s, the first real “cell phone” was released to the general public. I remember because I was doing a lot of traveling for my work in those days, and my wife was pregnant with our first child. Normally, I would check in with her several times a day, using a roadside phone booth. But I became concerned, because what if she needed to reach me in the middle of the day while I was working and nowhere near a phone? How would she contact me? What if I was traveling?

We decided to bite the bullet, and for the sake of safety, get a cell phone. A horrendously heavy thing that came in a bag with a battery that lasted an hour if you were lucky, and cost a fortune to operate. You were given an allotted number of minutes’ use per month, and woe to the one who would go over their minutes. Indeed, you would only make such a mistake once. The service was spotty, and the price was crazy.

But cell phones continued to advance. It wasn’t long before you could not only make phone calls on your cell phone, you could also send text messages, and then things called “emails.”

I remember in the mid-1990s, having a “flip phone,” which looked remarkably like Captain Kirk’s “communicator.” Surely the future had arrived. You’d raise a little plastic antennae, flip your phone open and hope for the best. Usually you needed to be in a city, next to the cell tower to get any reception. I remember wandering around in my driveway trying to catch a connection so I could have a conversation. Remember those old TV ads, “Can you hear me now?” No, in most cases you couldn’t.

But the technology wasn’t stopping and the infrastructure continued to be built. In 2007 the first iPhone came out, making “SMART” phones the most advanced the world had ever seen. The iPhone was the first hand-held mini-computer that integrated a telephone, a touch-screen emailer, a text-messager, an electronic scheduler/calendar, a camera, a place to buy and store digital music, and access countless other computer applications.

The iPhone was the pinnacle of convenience; service was much improved and with a nearby internet connection you could even browse the Worldwide Web. It wouldn’t be long before you wouldn’t even need an internet connection — you’d just use your cellular data.

Today, there are more than 3 million mobile apps for cell phones and the average cell phone has 80 of them installed. With your SMART phone, you can watch the weather and world-wide weather radar, you can purchase and listen to music, book hotels and airline flights, do your banking, pay your bills, order food delivery, shop for anything in the world, purchase and watch movies, control your home appliances, send emails, browse the internet, interact on countless social media sites, shop for cars, play an endless variety of online games,  navigate traffic and travel routes, monitor your health, have video calls with people on the other side of the world — with NO long distance charges, and yes, even read the Bible, if you’re so inclined. For what it’s worth, guess which “app” is the least used on any cell phone today? You guessed it: the PHONE!

Today, 91% of the world’s population owns a cell phone and of those, 85% are SMART phones. Now some may think that the word ‘SMART’ simply means a much more advanced type of cell phone. Few understand that it’s actually an acronym for: “SUSTAINABILITY,” “MONITORING,” “ASSESSING,” “RATING,” and “TRACKING.” This is what “SMART” actually stands for. Again: Sustainability, meaning it will be reliable and able to be counted on to work as intended for a lengthy amount of time; Monitoring, meaning that your SMART device — and there are many now that should concern us —  not just phones, will monitor what you, the user do on your device; Assessing, meaning that someone is going through the data they’re monitoring to assess your personal habits, likes, dislikes, even your thoughts and ideas; Rating, meaning that after they assess you, they’ll give you a “rating” — whether you’re a good, obedient Globalist peasant or a trouble-maker; and Tracking, meaning that wherever you go, they’ll be watching you and there’ll be no escape.

Sustainability; Monitoring, Assessing, Rating, Tracking. In other parts of the world, we’ve already seen social credit scores and carbon footprint tracking in use for a while now, which is done through assessing and rating. It’s coming here as Big Tech monitors everything we do on our SMART devices, which listen to and watch us even when they’re turned off. Tracking was a key rollout during the COVID scamdemic. And the coming One-World Digital Currency would not be possible without our slave trackers — our SMART phones, which we voluntarily take everywhere with us. Unfortunately, one day, perhaps soon, even those reluctant to do so will need to make the decision to smash their phones or join the Beast system. Those not connected to the system will be outcasts, unable to buy, sell, trade or travel. But I believe we’ll find ourselves more free than our so-called “SMART” counterparts.

Indeed, knowledge has increased tremendously. Even to the point some of us think we are our own gods. But there is ONE God, our Creator, who will return at the appointed time, unseal the scrolls and show us we’re not as smart as we think we are.

The Devil’s Advocate, a fictional novel written by Taylor Caldwell in 1951, described a near-futuristic dystopian society called The Democracy of America, which encompassed the former United States, Canada, and Mexico a few decades after World War II. A military dictatorship with communist and fascist characteristics ruled the country. States and provinces were replaced by districts or sections under a military commander.

Society was very stratified, with the military in the top tier, followed closely by government bureaucrats. Large corporations, especially those involved with manufacturing armaments, surveillance technology, or managing large tracts of farmland, formed a part of this ruling elite. The vast majority that comprised the lower rungs of society included citizens who worked in the factories or were used as slave labor for the large farms.

Though there was more than enough food produced to feed everyone, the surplus was destroyed to maintain order and preserve the status quo of the military. While the upper rungs of society lived comfortably and were well fed, the average citizen was kept under control through this manufactured austerity. Just as Pharaoh thought increasing the labor of the Hebrews would crush their desire for freedom from Egyptian bondage (Exodus 5), the military authorities believed people preoccupied with getting enough food for themselves and their families were deemed less likely to have the time or opportunity to overturn their rule.

Another major tool of control the military rulers used was constant surveillance. Working in partnership with technology corporations, the dreaded Federal Bureau of Home Security developed sophisticated data mining capabilities and video and audio gathering devices to monitor and maintain detailed profiles on each citizen, including profile scores to evaluate obedience with government dictates. Citizens walking down the street, working, shopping, or using public transportation said very little to each other because they knew that the wrong thing said or done might bring terrible consequences upon them, ranging from limits to what could be bought or sold to imprisonment or death.

Caldwell’s fictional story serves as a warning about how a once free people can, through abandonment of godly and constitutional principles, fall under the rule of a totalitarian regime that makes use of austerity and advanced technology to place them in bondage.

Palantir Technologies Inc., named after the “seeing stones” used by the dark powers in The Lord of the Rings, was co-founded by Peter Thiel (Chairman) and Alex Karp (CEO) in 2003 and develops and implements artificial intelligence (AI) data mining and surveillance solutions for its customers. One of its largest customers is the U.S. government, with which it has secured an agreement to build a federal data platform to centralize the personal data of American citizens from agencies such as the Social Security Administration, the Internal Revenue Service, and the Department of Homeland Security. Using the capabilities of Palantir, the government would be able to produce extensive dossiers of individual Americans within minutes and use them to gauge compliance and reward or punish accordingly.

Smartphones generate a lot of information related to our communications, locations, and many other personal things. In this context, the term “smart” is an acronym meaning “self-monitoring, analysis, and reporting technology.” In many ways, with the addition of AI, they can function like the ubiquitous audio and visual devices used by the government in The Devil’s Advocate to monitor citizens, propagandize them, and help penalize them if they engage in speech or other activities it does not approve.

One example includes North Korean smartphones that are configured to remove offensive text and substitute it with government-approved terms. They also covertly take screenshots every five minutes, whose images are stored in a secret folder accessible only to the authorities. Other examples include geofencing data gathered from the smartphones of those who protested at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, and from protesters in Pakistan on May 9, 2023, by government-allied technology corporations like Palantir. This data was used to imprison those the government considered to be political opponents and, in the case of Pakistan, disable the digital IDs of citizens so that they could not participate in essential aspects of life.

Over the years, there have been efforts to move people away from using cash and into a centralized digital currency. An AI-powered digital currency called stablecoins is promoted as a solution to deal with the instability of fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar. Both houses of the U.S. Congress passed a bill called the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act (S.1582), or GENIUS Act, to regulate this kind of digital currency. It was signed into law by President Donald Trump in July 2025. As Palantir is granted access to U.S. Treasury data, the government will make use of its AI tools to monitor and regulate the buying and selling activities of U.S. citizens through this framework.

It is not difficult to see how technology corporations working in partnership with government are building the kind of global evil empire that Jesus revealed to the apostle John more than 1,900 years ago, which would come in the end times, one that mandates a certain universal identification necessary to avoid being shut out and eliminated from society (Revelation 13:16-18). Since God’s word so accurately predicted the emergence of this system, we can not only trust what it says about the return of Jesus to overthrow it and establish His own eternal kingdom but also His love for all who trust in Him today.

Satan, ever since his rebellion against God, has sought to direct the worship due Him to himself (Isaiah 14:12-15). God by nature is omnipresent and omniscient. Satan, a created being, cannot be everywhere at once or know all things. But he tries to mimic these attributes of God by inspiring his servants to create AI-powered surveillance technologies to monitor and control every aspect of our lives. These poor counterfeits are used by Satan in an attempt to enslave and destroy humanity, since human beings are made in the image of God.

While AI is presented by those who embrace it and those who fear it as something that will exponentially surpass human intelligence and knowledge over a short period of time, God’s knowledge and power are infinitely greater than anything AI can accomplish. The Lord, who skillfully knit us together in our mother’s womb, knows us better than we, or the things we invent, know ourselves. There is nowhere we can go where He is not, and our days are ordained by Him even before they begin (Psalm 139:1-18).

God knows us completely. Unlike government/technology corporation AI-powered systems, He does not use His knowledge to harm or destroy us. God loves us and is abundantly merciful and gracious to us. He is fully aware of our frailties but pities us as a loving father pities his children (Psalm 103:1-14).

Out of His love for us, the Father sent His Son Jesus to take upon Himself the full weight of our failings, sins, iniquities, brokenness, guilt, shame, and infirmities on the cross. In this great exchange, Christ’s perfect profile replaces the flawed profile of anyone who trusts in Him, bringing complete forgiveness and peace with God (Isaiah 53; Romans 5:8-10).

“For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him. As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.” (Psalm 103:11-12)

Supranational technology corporations such as Palantir, and their government collaborators, are building a dystopian kingdom inspired by the one who comes to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:7-10). To have total control over everyone, they seek to use AI to gather all information about them and exploit any faults they find. But like the Tower of Babel of old, it will be brought to naught by the King of kings and the Lord of lords (Genesis 11:1-9; Revelation 18-19).

Just as east and west never meet, the Lord Jesus, who knows all things, has removed our sins and the punishment due them to an eternal distance from us by His great grace and mercy. He knows you and loves you. Trust in Jesus today!

This God-revealed insight has been given to me gradually so my feeble mind could accept, understand, process and teach it to others. It is going to anger some and cause others to repent as I did, because of our ignorance of God’s Word!  It has taken me several years to grasp the precepts taught in God’s Word, that have been gradually displaced by man’s, perhaps, noble but misguided thoughts and ideals (Proverbs 14:12).  If you will bear with me long enough to read this essay and weigh the truths contained in it, I firmly believe that you will, at least, begin to understand my thoughts and reasoning.

To begin with, I want the reader to know that I am not questioning or doubting, at this point, the sincerity and well meaning of some of America’s founders.  That very well could be another topic for the future.

Let’s first look at the definitions of the words ‘rights’ and ‘duties’ in the 1828 Noah Webster’s dictionary.  It’s interesting to note that the word ‘right’ is far more in it’s true meaning than what we have been taught and led to believe.  In part, the definition of ‘right’ is first and foremost, “In morals and religion, just, equitable; according to the standard of truth and justice, or the will of God.”  It goes on to say, “Conformity to the will of God, or to His law, the perfect standard of truth and justice”. Then Webster adds, “Just claim; immunity; ‘privilege’.”  All men have a right (privilege from above) to the secure enjoyment of life, personal safety, liberty and property.”  This last definition is pretty much quoting the Declaration of Independence.  As Webster made clear in the definition of ‘rights’, as defined in Jefferson’s statement in the Declaration of Independence, a right can be interpreted as a privilege to be granted or denied by men, or surrendered by the people if not found worthy of fighting to maintain.

Now, let’s look at the word ‘duty’.  In part, “reverence, obedience and prayer to God are indispensable               duties. Forbearance of that which is forbid by morality, law, justice of propriety.  It is our duty to refrain from lewdness, intemperance, profaneness and injustice”. Let’s sum this definition up from God’s Word.  Ecclesiastes 12:13 “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: fear God and keep His commandments:  for this is the whole duty of man.”

The ultimate authority that all nations, governments and men should obey is God’s laws, commandments and judgments.  Obviously, that is not being done!  But the fact that mankind, as a whole, doesn’t reverence and obey God does not excuse us, the “called out ones” in any way. If we have been “truly born again” people that profess to know God’s Word and yet we ignore the duties given us in His Word!  Know this Christians!  Disobedience to God’s law will bring dire consequences and ignorance of God’s law does not negate the consequences of our ignorance.  (Hosea 4:6)

Here are a couple of examples that I think will help us understand the fact that no matter how sincere man may be in his intentions, to proclaim a truth many times not using the correct words can make a huge difference for future generations.

The Second Amendment in what we call The Bill of Rights makes the statement that “the right (privilege, by definition) of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”  Even though we have been clearly told that this is an unalienable right that can never be taken or surrendered, obviously both the government and the people do not understand this or simply do not care enough to protect it!  While it’s definitely a fact that a duty can be ignored also, it is a much more understandable word to express the seriousness of neglecting our responsibilities.

As stated earlier, our ultimate duty is to obey God only!  So what does this have to do with The Second Amendment you may ask?  Everything!  God’s commanded His people to be armed! It is a duty, not a right! (Exodus 20:22, Nehemiah 4:17-18, Psalm 144:1-15, I Samuel 25:13, Numbers 1)  In Luke 22:36 Christ commands His disciples to arm themselves!

To finish this teaching, let’s do a brief summary of our duties.  We have a God given duty to speak His Word, travel, work, protect, teach, disciple and much more in order to fulfill the mandates given to His people!  To fulfill Genesis 1:27-28 and 3:19, Ephesians 4:28, Matthew 28:19-20 and Luke 22:36, we must do all the necessary things listed above without needing man’s permission!

So my final point is why do we ask, or need, man’s license i.e. permission to perform any of our God ordained duties?  So let me ask this in closing.  Are we committing a type of idolatry by asking man’s permission? Acts 5:29 is the foundation for the concept of the militia referenced in the Second Amendment!

In Christ’s services,

One time – in all of the Bible – one time is the Mazzaroth mentioned by name. It’s in the ancient text of Job, when God speaks to Job and tells him to brace himself because God has some questions for Job. Look at Job 38:32-33:

“Can you bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or can you guide Arcturus with his sons? Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Can you establish their rule on the earth?”

It’s an archaic Hebrew word only mentioned that one time in Scripture, but it’s the word the ancient Hebrews used for the twelve main constellations commonly called the Zodiac. Some translations vary the word Mazzaroth by saying “constellations” or “sequence of seasons”, but many get it right and don’t try to change the word.

There are a lot of questions in that chapter that God asks Job, things like, “Can you bind the chains of Pleiades? Or loose the cords of Orion?” [A couple verses later He asks if Job can cause it to flood. Today that answer would be yes through geoengineering, but that is a topic for another day. The battle of the gods is heating up.]

But the Mazzaroth, well those stars were put in an order that NEVER CHANGES, (even though their position in the sky does). Those stars cannot be altered by the efforts of man or gods. Those stars were named in ancient languages and across multiple cultures, traditions, and civilizations, and they tell a story man can only pervert, but cannot change. It’s one of the few things of Creation left that cannot be manipulated or destroyed by human effort.

[As an aside, did you know NASA contracted with Nikon last year with the Space Act Agreement, and the Nikon P1000 was discontinued three days later? That camera would let the average person see the night sky’s celestial bodies with startling detail.]

Mystics and scholars alike have studied those signs in the heavens for millennia. They have examined their arrangement, their timing, and their accompanying lesser constellations (called decans). Students of the Word have taught how the Mazzaroth depict the story of Redemption and its fascinatingly accurate aspects. [I’ll put some resources at the end.]

One of my favorite characteristics of God is His order, often His repetitive order. He likes to tell or show us something, and then retell or reproduce it in a variety of ways, so we can try to wrap our heads around His thoughts and intentions. Each constellation of the Mazzaroth depicts an aspect of the story of humanity: the actors, the themes, the plot of redemption, the heroes and anti-heroes. God has laid out His plans and purposes for Creation with perfect detail, long before we would understand its implications, long before most of the scenes, acts, and actors would happen on the main stage.

The western and/or modern church has steered its people away from the study of the signs in the heavens because of the occultic perversions to it, and it has left its people sadly ignorant and/or afraid of its truths and the story it tells. But the ancients knew it. The apostle John used elements of it in his apocalypse. [apocalypse means revelation or unveiling, not end of the world]

There are far wiser and more knowledgeable people to teach on this, and I would encourage anyone interested to find some of those fantastic teachers. But I wanted to touch on an aspect of the Mazzaroth that is particularly timely right now and in the coming years, and that’s the process that the sun takes as it weaves in and out of the Mazzaroth. The ancients paid attention to it because it helped them know what was in the mind of God.

The created order was the template

On the fourth day of Creation, God created those celestial beings and placed them in their created order expressly for signs, seasons, days and years. We kind of schmooze over those words as foregone conclusions sometimes, but that word signs in Hebrew is owth and literally means “a signal”. So some of those celestial beings are signals for something in the mind of God. What would God be signaling with the celestial bodies?

We connote spring, summer, autumn, and fall for seasons, but that’s not what it means in Genesis 1:14. That word seasons in Hebrew is moed and literally means “an appointment, appointed time or place, specifically a festival”. The celestial beings were to mark the festivals God outlined to Moses that the Israelites were to participate in. They were appointed times on God’s calendar for God’s purposes. The ancients were taught to watch the skies to understand things God wanted them to understand.

Twice a year the sun moves directly over the equator, dividing in equal parts the night and day. Those are the spring equinox and the autumn equinox. Twice a year the sun reaches its highest and lowest points in the sky, marking the shortest and longest days of the year. Those are the summer solstice (longest day) and winter solstice (shortest day).

The sun moves “backwards” through the Mazzaroth, about one degree of a 360-degree circle in about seventy years. Using the spring equinox as a guidepost, they’ve calculated it takes about 2100 years for the sun to move through one constellation. The ancient Hebrews called that span of time an age (or an eon).

The Mazzaroth celestial map looks like this:

To understand how the “story” is written in the stars, look at it in a wheel form like this:

This will simplify some things in that it will show how the Mazzaroth has an order, and that each constellation points across the expanse to another one. So Virgo points to Pisces, Gemini to Sagittarius and so on.

Keep in mind that we didn’t name the stars or the constellations, and though they are translated with slight differences in various languages, they all still pretty much have the same names or meanings in the various languages over the millennia of recorded history.

THE AGES FROM CREATION TO PRESENT

The Age of Gemini: Creation of the “twins”, perfection in the Garden

Working from our current celestial map backwards, we can ascertain that the Creation of Adam and Eve happened at the end of the age of Gemini (the twins – Eve was taken from the rib of Adam). This is when the sun was at the backside of the constellation. Gemini points across the sky to Sagittarius (the archer). The archer signifies a bow going forth, (being shot from the archer) and literally means “hitting the mark”. It’s almost like it’s saying God hit the mark with the Creation of Adam and Eve and the Garden. Ironically (or not), in the sky the constellation of the archer has the bow pointed directly at Scorpio, the sign of the Serpent.

The Age of Taurus: The strength of man and gods

The sun continued through Gemini and entered Taurus (the bull, sign of strength) at about the time of the Fall. In the (roughly) 2100 years of Taurus, recorded history tells of the fall of mankind, the corruption of humanity, and the Flood. That 2100 years was considered the age of the Bull. Taurus points across the sky to Scorpio, the sign of the Serpent (snake, adversary of God). The strength of man (bull, Taurus) was coupled with the death that came through the adversary of the Serpent of Old (i.e. Scorpio). Remember that death entered at the fall, and the fall was facilitated by the Serpent.

The Age of Aries: the sacrificial system was established within the Mosaic Law

The next age is the age of Aries (the ram, a sign of sacrifice), which points to Libra (the scales, the Law of justice). In that age Abraham covenants with God, and Moses is raised up to establish the Law for God’s people. That is the era (or age) of the Mosaic Law, the age of sacrifices which was sort of set off with Abraham and Isaac, and ran most of its course with a sacrificial system for atonement by the people of God, (as well as a counter simultaneous sacrificial system of the pagan gods of the world). Aries (sacrificial ram) was coupled with Libra (the scales of the Law). The age of Aries brought an end to the rule by the strength of men (and gods), and set up systems of law and religious sacrifice.

The Age of Pisces: fishers of men and followers of Christ were established

The end of that age had the sun move into Pisces (double fish), and the entrance of Jesus Christ, who commissioned fishermen as His disciples and called them to be fisher of men. Miracles with fish riddle the gospels, and the earliest Christians were known by the symbol of the fish. (Ichthus, fish, Greek mnemonic for: Iesus Christus, Uios Theou Sotēr meaning “Jesus Christ Son of God Saviour”) The sign of Pisces couples with the sign of Virgo, the virgin (or Bride).

When Jesus entered the scene and began expounding His truths to His disciples, He mentioned many times the “end of the age”. End – sunteleia in Hebrew, “entire completion, consummation” of the Age – aion (eon) in Hebrew, “an age”. (commonly mistranslated as world, or end of the world)

The end of what age? The age of Aries/sacrificial system and the Law. Christ came in at the end of the age of Aries, and was crucified at the beginning of the age of Pisces. The age of Pisces is coupled with Virgo… Jesus and the Bride. The Christian age transitioned us from a nation of God’s people to a world of God’s people. The Christian message from Paul and the disciples was no longer centered on the Mosaic Law but the law of Christ that worked from the inside out, versus the Mosaic Law from the outside in. The sacrificial system for sin was done away with forever in Christ.

The Age of Aquarius: the water bearer pouring water out of a vessel

Now we sit at the end of the age of Pisces (the fish) and are entering the age of Aquarius, the water bearer (a man pouring out water from a vessel). Jesus is called the Living Water and his living water is equated with eternal life. (John 4:14)

Aquarius points across the sky to Leo, the King. Christ is King.

Transition from one age to the next…

They estimate it takes several decades (up to a hundred years) for the sun to move completely out of one sign into the next because there’s an overlap where sometimes the sun is in both constellations for a period. Remember that it takes seventy years for the sun to move one degree in the sky. Those decades are considered the transition from one age to the next. The landscape on earth during that transitional time is, well, transitional. There are elements from both ages simultaneously present as Creation groans at the closure of one age and the opening of another. People groups long entrenched in one age’s customs and themes are usually resistant to the upcoming and inevitable changes by God’s appointment. It’s an awkward time, especially with the people of God, and especially when they’re not paying attention to the signs/signals God is giving about a change.

In the age of the Bull, the strength of man was prevalent on the earth. (The Fall was probably in the transition time between Gemini and Taurus.) In the age of the Bull, humans lived for centuries. The counterpoint to the strength of man was the Serpent (i.e. Scorpio) and its striking of the heel to compromise humanity, prophesied at the Fall in the Garden. From there, Nephilim and men of renown chose other gods to serve and influenced (bullied) the mass of humanity to follow suit. It was so grievous that the Flood was the remedy, and only the eight persons from Noah’s family survived to reset the world.

Ten generations from Noah, Abraham and the age of Aries arrived around the same time. Seven generations later, Moses led the offspring of the Abrahamic covenant into a covenant with the Law and the sacrificial system was established. Look at what Daniel (during the age of Aries) records that the angel told him:

Dan 12:13 “But as for you, go your way to the end; then you will enter into rest and rise again for your allotted portion at the end of the age.” What is the end of the age the angel is speaking of? The same age the disciples asked Christ about:

As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” (Matthew 24:3)

The disciples are referring to the same thing the angel speaking to Daniel was referring to… the end of the Aries age, NOT the end of the world. Daniel, Jesus and the disciples were all actors in the age of Aries. Jesus emphasized the coming end of the Aries age as He instructed the disciples on the new process for the age of Pisces:

And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, ” All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” [Mt. 28:18-20]

Why does He say the end of the AGE (eon) and not the end of TIME (chronos)? Because they’re two different things.

The next 2100 years would be the age of fish, fishing men for the Kingdom of God. And Christ’s last recorded words were go make disciples of ALL NATIONS (people groups, no longer one nation – that was the theme in the age of Aries) and do it this way [NOT through the Mosaic law of sacrificial ritual, but through the infilling of the Holy Spirit and transformed lives to the likeness of Christ), and don’t worry, because I’ll be with you through that whole age.

I spend a lot of time looking at what the enemy is doing in current events, but it’s way more important to see what God is doing. We’re in the transition between ages, and ages look dramatically different one from another. What would a water-bearer-pouring-out-water age look like? The age of Aquarius is both here and coming into its fullness. Its counterpoint is Leo… the Lion… the King.

Current events sure seem messy, maybe even transitional. What is on the heart of God for this appointed age?

If there’s interest, I can expound more on future writing. (sorry so long)

July 19, 2025

Let us assume Jeffrey Epstein was working for the Israeli secret service and the CIA. Then let us throw into the mix the Russian KGB. Now what? These endless questions shed nothing on our current and precarious situation. We are in serious trouble. Spies and traitors have been among us for decades. People are weak and susceptible to blackmail. That is an old story.

A new story concerns Joe Biden and the question of who knew what about his mental condition and weird sexual habits.  He has not been accused of being an Epstein “client,” but he is an accused rapist, female hair-sniffer, and admitted plagiarist who was famous for boasting at a Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) meeting in 2018 about withholding aid to Ukraine to force the firing of a prosecutor. This open display of corruption in foreign policy was not a big deal for the CFR, as many laughed in approval at the story. It was business as usual.

We later found out that he took showers with his young daughter, according to her diary.

In this case, even the liberal “fact-checkers” have admitted, “A diary authored by US President Joe Biden’s daughter, Ashley Biden, describes showers taken with her father when she was a child as ‘probably not appropriate.’”

Now, Ashley is a spokesperson for gay rights.  She headlined a Biden White House Pride celebration on the South Lawn.

Anthony Bernal, First Lady Jill Biden’s chief of staff, just pleaded the Fifth Amendment at his deposition about whether he and /other Biden aides took “unauthorized executive actions during his presidency amid his cognitive decline.”

That is a very real case. Forget Epstein. Move on to Joe.

Some in MAGA are claiming Epstein was a Jewish State operative and are blaming Israel for the scandal and using it to condemn its actions in Gaza. If Israel did not use Epstein, it was a failure of Israeli intelligence.

If the Jewish state used Epstein for sexual and/or blackmail purposes, so what? The state of the world is not for goody two-shoes.

Intelligence agencies of the world engage in all kinds of dark and dangerous activities to get people compromised to do their bidding. Some like the KGB routinely murder people at home and abroad. The Russians also use “honey traps” with gorgeous operatives to entrap people.

The crown prince of Saudi Arabia, with whom the U.S. is doing business, had a dissident kidnapped and dismembered. His remains were never found.

If I were Israel, I would use Epstein for intelligence purposes as well, to figure out who could be compromised and who could not. Israel is fighting for its survival and can be expected to do almost anything to combat its enemies and guarantee its existence. We marvel at how Israeli agents seem to know what their enemies are doing and how to eliminate them. Remember the exploding pagers given to Hezbollah members?

This is why, when a “Democratic Socialist” for mayor in New York City proclaims the “global intifada,” Jews are worried. They know a lot of people, including in America’s largest city and in the Democratic Party, are out to get them. They understand the dimensions of the “Red Jihad.”

Let us assume that Jeffrey Epstein was murdered in prison. By murder or suicide, at this point what difference does it make? His life was the subject of a four-part Netflix series “Filthy Rich” that examines his operation of an international child sex trafficking ring. He would be a dummy not to use it on behalf of various intelligence agencies.

The real problem is those who cozied up to this character and wanted access to him, his wealth, or his power. We know who they are. We are suspicious of others, but have no way of identifying all of them.

President Trump was once seen palling around with Epstein but then kicked him out of his exclusive Mar-a-Lago club when he was told Epstein was hitting on young girls. Trump knew when and where to draw the line.

Even so, some in MAGA are now expressing outrage that they don’t know everything about Epstein. Sorry, but these things sometimes get covered-up for reasons of state security.

When you see Democrats milking the matter, you know it has become a partisan fraud, possibly designed to obscure coverage of Joe Biden’s auto-pen presidency.

In the same way that then-candidate Donald J. Trump had brought up the case of the mysterious death of former Clinton aide Vincent Foster, calling it “fishy,” there are too many outstanding questions about the Epstein death. Like Foster, Epstein is a man who knew too much.

I have been one of those who, over the last several decades, has been raising questions about how Foster died, and who was behind it. I have concluded that there are many important people who know the answers but do not want us to know. The media have moved on, even deriding me as a “conspiracy theorist.”

We must conclude, based on the evidence, that the CIA and many other intelligence agencies knew all about Foster as well as Epstein, and that there are many things we will never know.

Here is what we do know: Epstein associated with the crème de la crème of the American establishment.

Epstein, a college dropout, was highly regarded by such elite organizations such as the Trilateral Commission and Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and even Harvard University. Epstein was accepted into the “Chairman’s Circle” of the CFR’s top donors but the group’s president, Richard Haass, has tried to distance himself from Epstein after his death. However, the Trilateral Commission, whose membership is by invitation only, has not said anything publicly about his involvement with the organization.

As reported by the Harvard Crimson, “He cultivated cozy friendships with top Harvard administrators including a former University president” and pledged a $30 million donation to Harvard to fund its Program for Evolutionary Dynamics, whatever that is.

Research into the agenda of these organizations is as important as finding out those who were rubbing elbows (or other body parts) with Epstein or the young girls in his harem.  How could someone with enormous wealth, obtained through mysterious circumstances, reach the pinnacle of power. Was it because of his keen intellect?

It was alleged that every room in his mansions had hidden cameras that filmed everything and everyone, and that the videos of these activities exist somewhere.

There is some controversy over these claims, but let us assume they are true. Now what?

We must conclude that, in some cases, we will never know the entire story because too many intelligence agencies are implicated in his activities. This is the way Washington works. This is the way the world works.

What these “revelations” tell us is that some people knew, and some people did not know, that Epstein was a shady predator and a sex pervert who possibly videotaped the rich and famous having sex with young girls and boys. It turned out that Epstein was a bisexual, with preferences for both sexes. His “clients” were probably men who wanted girls and boys.

We do know that billionaires like Bill Gates associated with Epstein after he was convicted of sex crimes.

The Epstein case reminds me of the Kurt Waldheim affair. He was “exposed” as a Nazi war criminal after he had served at the world body as Secretary-General of the United Nations from 1972 to 1981. Waldheim, a Nazi Lieutenant in World War II, facilitated Nazi war crimes in the Balkans.

Intelligence Services of various countries knew about his collaboration with the Nazis before he took his U.N. job.

Forget about Epstein for a minute and let us examine a very real case, the “auto-pen” president, Joseph R. Biden, Jr., where we have a chance to get real answers.

July 15, 2025

I estimate that half of the Federal Government’s Programs, Functions and Departments are Unconstitutional, making them Null and Void and a Criminal Enterprise. This is so because they are not authorized by the Enumerated Powers in the Constitution, and are rife with theft and corruption. Those activities having no legal foundation for existence, even if fraudulently enacted into law, can be eliminated with a stroke of President Trump’s pen. But we must still consider the following assumptions:

Assumption # 1. Trump’s power to terminate unlawful activities, even those established by unconstitutional laws, cannot be questioned.

Assumption #2. Elected Officials and Bureaucrats of the Administrative State take orders and bribes from the Parasitic Super- Rich Ruling Class (PSRRC) and their Jewish Lobby. What the people want is of no consequence to them.

Assumption #3. Democrat Elected Officials, by their actions, are Communists. Republican officials profess to be “America First” but privately, many of them hate Trump, America, and its people. Most elected officials in both parties are corrupted.

Assumption #4. Most Media, in all its forms, is owned or controlled by the Communists AKA Democrats.

Assumption #5. All major cities are Communist and can only survive, but barely, with financial support from the Federal Establishment. This support, and all Federal financial support of the states is unconstitutional. If this support is continued, it will lead to civil war. Patriots will not work and sacrifice to support Communists who don’t work, especially when things get really tight.

Assumption #6. The Federal Establishment has unlawfully usurped and now controls countless state functions with money from income taxes. This reverses the Constitutional roles of Federal Establishment and the Sovereign States. As long as this exists, there can be no Constitutional Republic nor prosperity for the people.

Assumption #7. The United States can only be defeated by weapons of mass destruction or from within by the communist army of illegal invaders. Therefore it is impossible to have a “national security” justification for our troops on foreign soil, or for giving any form of foreign aid. Officials who vote for or authorize deployment or foreign aid should be prosecuted. In fact, it is unconstitutional without a mandatory Declaration of War.

Assumption #8. Illegal Invaders must be deported as fast as possible, or they will destroy America as they did Europe. There can be no support of any kind given to invaders. The Constitution stipulates that this is treason, subject to the death penalty. Employers of illegals should be prosecuted. It is impossible to have America First and allow illegals to remain or give them any support.

Assumption #9. The FBI and CIA must be reformed or disbanded. Frankly, I think reform is impossible.

Assumption #10. Politicians must get their share of the big money contributions or they can’t be elected. President Trump is no exception.

In spite of these assumptions, President Trump must terminate the unlawful actions, functions, and departments of the Federal Establishment because they are null and void ab initio. He can do this with executive orders.

The Parasitic Super-Rich Ruling Class AKA The Deep State, Swamp, or Establishment will do anything to stop Trump’s terminations of their unlawful but highly profitable activities such as foreign aid and wars for profit. The military is needed at home to combat the Communist 20-million- strong army of illegals. The need is so dire that we might have to use the draft.

It is estimated that there are more than 30 million illegals in the country. If they are still here when the census takes place in 2030, we will become a one-party Communist country. This is so because the census determines the number and location of members of Congress.

President Trump must understand that this is the only way for his great vision to succeed. Failure to terminate these unconstitutional programs makes it financially impossible to return the country to prosperity and the Constitutional Republic. Economic Realities are absolute proof that this country cannot survive with Trump’s plans alone.

I am aware that our traitors in and out of government will continue to do everything to stop President Trump, including additional assassination attempts. It is alleged that they killed the Kennedy Brothers for much less.

But if Trump, in the face of death, does save the Republic, he will go down in history as our greatest President.

Trump needs no reason or legislation to terminate programs with a stroke of his pen because they are unconstitutional and void on their face. The complicit Judges can pound sand. Those who object can only blame the Founders.

The loss and suffering of his citizens look like the least of Gavin Newsom’s concerns.

Last January, I let you all know that the state of California had changed the zoning in the subsequent burn area from single-family to multi-family THREE MONTHS BEFORE THE DEVASTATING FIRES destroyed an area the size of San Francisco.

Another bill teamed up with SB1123.

SB 684, which took effect on July 1 of this year, provides for streamlined, ministerial processing of certain residential projects in multifamily zoning districts consisting of no more than 10 single-family homes. The law expanded the Starter Home Revitalization Act to further facilitate the construction of smaller, more naturally affordable “starter” homes. SB 1123, passed during the most recent legislative cycle and effective July 1, 2025, expands SB 684’s reach to legalize construction of up to 10 homes on vacant lots in single-family zoning districts, as well.

To expedite streamlining efforts, SB 684 and SB 1123 projects are exempt from discretionary review, environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and the right to appeal.

This Alert highlights SB 684’s streamlining incentives, associated siting requirements, and development specifications and denotes how SB 1123 will expand the law’s applicability to allow for more housing development on previously restricted land.

Ministerial processing or “ministerial approval” means a process for development approval involving little or no personal judgment by the public official as to the wisdom or manner of carrying out the project

Let’s cut to the chase. CA changed zoning BEFORE the fires, then made sure that the people could not rebuild. To date, only approximately 70 permits have been approved. Various authorities are now promising to help expedite. Sure.

Standard permitting time in Dallas takes an average of 8 – EIGHT – days.

Now, Newsom is announcing funding for multi-family residential structures in LA.

A UNAgenda “C40” city is the goal, I believe. Newsom and his band of merry crooks want to show the 2028 Olympics what a world-class C40 city looks like. He has zero desire to help the people as he flaps his jaws about expediting things.

Call me crazy, and some, I’m sure do, but the promises of CA officials ring as hollow as their moral code.

What this should show the world is what a world-class gang of Totalitarians in government can do to people’s lives. BEWARE, citizens of the other 49!

Sadly, I called this, on Jan. 15, less than two weeks after the fires. See my substack about Zoning, a True Globalist Tool. I’d have preferred, I guess, to have been off base on this one. But, that would require morals and values to have suddenly taken root in California governance. Silly me.

The most important part of this message is to alert people of other states to the very possible REAL intent of officials in their states, and legislation they’ve passed.

Here we go, to Florida again. Here is a piece of just one example of what has happened there, copied from my Jan. article.

Anytime citizens ignore their government AT THE LOCAL LEVEL their rights – their Constitutional rights – can disappear. You MUST demand a seat at the table. Always.

Ron DeSantis, recently pulled something like this over on his constituents. After his reelection at the end of 2022, Tallahassee quietly and quickly (only 6 weeks!) passed FL SB 102. This is the “Live Local Act”, one of the first laws passed in the new 2023 legislative year:

“deleting the authority of local governments to adopt or maintain laws, ordinances, rules, or other measures that would have the effect of imposing controls on rents; providing an exemption from ad valorem taxation for land that meets certain criteria; authorizing local governments to adopt ordinances to provide an ad valorem tax exemption for portions of property used to provide affordable housing meeting certain requirements; suspending, for a specified period, the General Revenue Fund service charge on documentary stamp tax collections; authorizing the Governor, under the Florida Job Growth Grant Fund, to approve state or local public infrastructure projects to facilitate the development or construction of affordable housing, etc.”

To facilitate the construction of “affordable housing”…rather than “bourgeoise”…

This bill is much less direct but it essentially does the same, removing local government from their own control over zoning and taxing ordinances and allowing the Governor to approve local building projects for affordable housing, ETC. What’s the “ETC”, I wonder…? How much more can Tallahassee slip in here?

How much more of Tallahassee will Floridians take? I leave you with this because – whether or not you think you trust your elected officials, and not a whole lot of Americans do – it is essential to your very freedom that you stay aware.

Then, here I go again – if you con’t like what you see or smell, GET OFF THE COUCH AND OUT THE DOOR. WE HAVE A COUNTRY TO SAVE. More and more, it is apparent that only we can do that.

DEMAND a seat at the table. If you don’t, you will be under it while the Big Boys play with your lives.

July 18, 2025

California’s passion to achieve net-zero emissions at the expense of its citizens has devastated its economy.

California’s contribution to global emissions, as the 4^th largest economy in the world, is a small percentage, roughly 0.75%. To put that into perspective, if the “big earthquake” hit California, and the entire state fell into the Pacific Ocean, there would be less than a 1% reduction in Worldwide emissions.

As reported by Californians for Energy Independence, California’s Economy is supported by Oil and Gas, so let’s look at the state’s demands for the products and transportation fuels that so-called renewables like wind and solar CANNOT make for society, as they can ONLY generate electricity under favorable weather conditions.

The West Coast gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuels market is isolated from other supply and demand centers, as California is an energy island, separated from the States East of the Sierra Mountains. The Sierra Mountains are a natural barrier that prevents the state from pipeline access to any of the excess oil from fracking. As such, the West Coast is susceptible to unexpected outages of West Coast refineries, as it is unable to backfill an unexpected loss in supply by quickly supplying additional products from outside the region.

Fuel Demands

California transportation fuel demands for airports, ships, cars, and trucks have staggering numbers from the in-state refineries:

• Jet fuel: With all its 145 airports, including 9 international airports and 41 military airports, the demand is 13 million gallons of aviation fuel daily.  Several of those airports have direct pipelines to local refineries. In 2019, California consumed 16.7% of the national total of jet fuel, making it the largest consumer of jet fuel in America.
• Gasoline: For its 30 million vehicles, California is the second-largest consumer of motor gasoline among the 50 states, consuming 42 million gallons a day of gasoline, just behind Texas.
• Diesel: Diesel fuel is the second largest transportation fuel used in California, consuming 10 million gallons a day of diesel to support the state’s trucking of products from 3 of the busiest shipping ports in America
• Arizona and Nevada: California refineries supply 45% of Arizona’s and 88% of Nevada’s transportation fuel demands for their airports, cars, and trucks, so any disruption in California impacts all three states.
• California’s northern and southern refinery fuel supply systems are not connected, requiring ocean-going vessels to transport fuel between them.

Fuel Taxes

California has the highest gas taxes in the USA.

• CA’s excise tax on gasoline adds $0.60 per gallon.
• CA’s “cap-and-trade” carbon tax adds $0.27 per gallon.
• CA’s Reformulated Gasoline mandate adds 10-15 cents per gallon.
• CA’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard is projected to add $0.37 per gallon in the near term—and $1.15 by 2046!
• CA’s “Summer Blend” fuel requirements add up to $0.15 per gallon to the price of gasoline during warmer months.

California has almost 400,000 miles of roadways used by the State’s 30 million vehicles. Those roadways are heavily dependent on road taxes from fuels that contribute more than $8.8 billion annually, for planning, constructing, and maintaining California’s publicly funded roadways. The same gas tax revenues also fund many environmental programs and the high-speed rail project. That $8.8 billion revenue source from fuel taxes will diminish in the years ahead as heavier EVs are being mandated in California to replace the lighter internal combustion engine vehicles.

As a result of the State having the highest cost of transportation fuels in the nation and the highest cost for electricity in the continental USA, California has the highest homeless population in the US, with over 187,000 people experiencing homelessness. This includes a significant portion of unsheltered individuals and a high percentage of homeless veterans, senior citizens, and chronically homeless individuals.

California has obviously not learned much in the 50 years since the Oil Embargo of 1973, as the following persist:

• California, the 4^th largest economy in the world, was virtually independent of foreign oil imports in 1973, but due to its relentless regulations to reduce in-state oil production the State now imports more than 70% of its crude oil demand to run the States’ 9 International airports, 41 Military airports, and 3 of the largest shipping ports in America.

Over the last several decades, California’s passion to transition away from fossil fuels has overregulated and overly burdened just the SUPPLY of oil production and refining, but has not reduced the increasing materialistic DEMANDS of the State for the more than 6,000 products and transportation fuels made from those fossil fuels. Thus, China is savoring the future with their many refineries coming online to meet the DEMANDS of California.

Just last year, in October 2024, Phillips 66 announced that it would close its Wilmington-area refining complex this year, which will further reduce the state’s gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuels production capacity, wiping out more than 8% of the state’s crude oil processing capacity. Losing another 1.3 billion gallons in annual gasoline output will only worsen the state’s supply challenges to meet the demands.

The recent announcement that the Valero Benica Refinery in Northern California will be closing by the end of 2026 was disappointing, but shockingly, a prelude to more closures in the future. The Valero refinery at Benicia represents almost 9% of the state’s crude oil processing capacity to meet the materialistic demands of the state’s residents.

• California refineries cannot simply increase production to offset the loss from closures, such as the Phillips 66 Wilmington and upcoming Valero Benicia shutdowns, due to a combination of physical, regulatory, and economic constraints. First, most California refineries already operate near their maximum capacity utilization, typically averaging between 85% and 95%, leaving little room for scalable increases without risking operational reliability. Increasing throughput would require significant capital investments in equipment upgrades, hiring, and maintenance capacity—none of which are viable in a state that is actively discouraging fossil fuel infrastructure through aggressive decarbonization mandates.
• Second, the California regulatory environment imposes some of the strictest environmental and operational requirements in the world. Any significant increase in refinery output would likely trigger new reviews under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), potentially leading to years-long permitting delays. Additionally, CARB’s requirements for specialized gasoline formulations (CARBOB) mean refineries cannot simply increase production using generic refining methods; instead, they must produce complex, seasonal, and cleaner-burning fuel blends, which require dedicated infrastructure and limit flexibility.

Economically, refiners face a shrinking return on investment. With the 2035 ban on new internal combustion vehicles looming and EV adoption slowly rising, California refiners have little long-term incentive to invest in expanding production. In fact, many are choosing to exit the market or repurpose facilities for renewable fuels rather than double down on gasoline. As a result, the remaining refiners are unlikely or unable to ramp up production to backfill lost supply, leaving California more reliant on imported, California-compliant gasoline from out-of-state or foreign sources, which is slower and more expensive to procure.

A Prager University 5-minute video on the World Without Fossil Fuels provides visual explanations about the demands of the American economy, which will lead to importing manufactured fuels and petrochemicals from new Asian refineries in the coming years, which may soon become a reality, with China coming to the rescue!

In the more immediate term, China has plans for multiple new refineries, with at least five projects expected to be completed by 2028, and another three new refineries by 2030, contributing to a broader shift towards integrated petrochemical facilities.

Asia is the region with the greatest number of future petroleum refineries. As of 2021, there were 88 new refinery facilities in planning or under construction in Asia for manufactured gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuels used by every transportation infrastructure, and the military, as well as the manufactured oil derivatives that are the basis of most products being used by mankind.

Not only does California’s la-la land have a minuscule impact on worldwide emissions, but its growing dependence on refineries in China to meet the enormous demand for transportation fuels to support the state’s public and military airports is becoming a national security risk to the entire United States of America.

July 18, 2025

As many of you are aware I do a podcast five days a week.  No, I’m not as well known or popular as Joe Rogan, Tucker, Megan Kelly, or Alex Jones, but I do have a growing audience that join me LIVE daily or later at www.CoachDaveLive.com.

My show is unique in that it is hard core Christian…but not preachy.  You wouldn’t log on to hear a sermon or learn “25 ways to prosper in 2025.”  In fact, one of our theses is that the problems in our culture are both caused and can be cured by the American Christian Church.

The chaos that we are currently dealing with in our nation is not political but Spiritual.  Only a return to BIBLICAL Christianity can cure our cultural issues.  We will not vote our way out of the mess we find ourselves in.  According to an internet search there are currently 45,000 denominations of Christianity in the world today.  DENOMINATE means to divide.  (Remember 2^nd grade long division…numerator and denominator?)  The numerator is the total number and the denominator is the number by which the whole number is divided.

Interestingly…Jesus told us “that a house divided against itself CANNOT stand.”   He didn’t say would not…he said CANNOT.  Has Christianity ever been a more divided house than it is today?   Doctrine divides.

One of the themes that we point out regularly is that the SUPERNATURAL has left the church.  This hit home with me this morning when the discussion of the PARANORAL REALM…angels, demons, Satan, the Nephilim, spell-casting, witchcraft…came up.  (We discuss this stuff regularly.)

(One of the tactics of Satan’s minions is to change the meaning of words.  In fact, I wrote about it 2009 and reposted it again this February.)

The Holy Spirit (Yes, He is real) prompted me to look up the word PARANORMAL.  I was pleasantly surprised that Webster defined paranormal as “supernatural, of, relating to, or being part of a reality beyond the observable physical universe.”

Remember…change the words…?  Calling things PARANORMAL is another way of describing the SPIRITUAL REALM without invoking the Truth of the Bible.  Millions of Americans have been introduced to the Spiritual world without using BIBLICAL terms.  Paranormal is another word for SPIRITUAL…Rod Serling called it THE TWILIGHT ZONE…listen here!

Call it the Twilight Zone…or Paranormal…no matter what term you use it is simply an acknowledgment of what the SCRIPTURES teach.  Try this one from the Bible on for size..

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”

Hmmmm.  That sorta sounds like PARANORMAL to me…  The Bible calls it SPIRITUAL WARFARE.  There really is nothing new under the sun.

Our enemy, SATAN, whether you acknowledge him or not, is real.  Too bad our churches don’t even teach us about the Demonic anymore.   The film makers prefer the word “paranormal” as an excuse to explain away the Spiritual War raging around us.

Just a quickie…something to further your curiosity…check out these 14 sobering facts about Satan.

Look friends.  The battle is not political…it is Supernatural   Read Psalm 2.  Who are the “KINGS OF THE EARTH” mentioned in verse 2?

To acknowledge the Demonic exists is confirmation of the Bible.  So, they just change the words…and call it paranormal.

Paranormal is the term the Devil’s team has given to the SPIRITUAL battle.  Witches and warlocks are minions of the paranormal (occult) army arrayed against The LORD and HIS emissaries.

Witchcraft is demonic…check out the   BEST CITIES FOR WITCHES.  Is YOUR town on the list?

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:  (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)   Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.  For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:   2 Cor. 10 3-6

Literally wake the HELL up, Christians.  The Devil is Real.  Satanism is real.  The Spiritual realm is real.

Paranormal my ass….

This is the text of a speech presented at the program
“Stop Open Borders: Say No to Poverty, Crime, and Tyranny”
on July 29, 2020, by Peter Falkenberg Brown,
—the Chair, at that time, of the Gray Republican Committee in Gray, Maine.

A Look Back and A Look Forward. After four years of Biden’s catastrophic open borders policy, the predictions below have mostly come true. Only President Trump’s election stopped their progress. It’s time to look at what happened and articulate once again to our liberal friends, family, and fellow citizens why open borders are disastrous. With many thousands of hostile actors having entered our country, our national security still hangs in the balance.

I start with a question—a dilemma that does indeed have an answer.

How can good-hearted, ethical, moral people make the suggestion to “stop open borders”? The first few words of John 3:16 are: “For God so loved the world.” With imagination, one can sense that God looks down at the world and sees all human beings, of every color, race, creed, and nationality, as sacred individuals born with the light of God dwelling in their hearts.

How then can borders be supported? Are we not all brothers and sisters under one God? When I was twenty-five, I stood at the border of Mexico, with my fingers stretched through the chain-link fence that separated God’s children, and said to myself that I wanted to tear the border down.

[The full text of this essay is below the video.]

This is the transcendent religious view of the human family that has presented Christians and other loving individuals with a tremendous dilemma that has now been hijacked by the Marxist Left as a weapon against America. When I use the term “the Left,” I am not referring to classical, freedom-loving liberals. I’m talking about the leftists who were fostered by the Jacobins of 1789 and fed by Marx and Lenin, and who had no problem at all with the bloodshed of guillotines and the mass murders of over a hundred and fifty million people in the twentieth century.

Those dangerous and destructive leftists are alive and well in America today, and work within universities, the media, Hollywood, Big Tech, corporate boardrooms, Black Lives Matter, and Antifa. Their influence is substantial at all levels of the Democratic Party.

The Left is diabolically clever and uses love and conscience and guilt as instruments to sway people to their cause. They are master manipulators and propagandists and have been so effective in their work over the last sixty years that the Left now owns the cultural and political narrative. Conservatives are almost always on the defensive, constantly accused of being hateful and bigoted and ungenerous by a Left that uses the word “love” as punctuation between calls to actions that can only be described as hateful and totalitarian. They call for “No more hate” as they burn buildings to the ground.

Freedom-loving liberals and conservatives must reclaim the narrative from the Left and clearly occupy the moral high ground. Joe Biden’s web page on immigration contains a good example of moral dishonesty and Leftist accusation in the text that states:

“It is a moral failing and a national shame when a father and his baby daughter drown seeking our shores.”[1]

How can anyone who believes in love ignore the tragic photo of the El Salvadoran national Óscar Alberto Martínez Ramírez and his two-year-old daughter Valeria? They drowned on Monday, June 24, 2019, at the edge of the Rio Grande near the bridge between Matamoros, Mexico, and Brownsville, Texas.[2] Their deaths were tragic and unnecessary.

It was not, however, the fault of anyone in the United States, in spite of Joe Biden’s specious propaganda. Their deaths were unnecessary because the father was trying to bring his family across the border illegally and sadly died with his daughter in the attempt. If he had followed the law, they might not be in America today, but they would probably be alive.

The Left knows that people of conscience cannot ignore these tragedies, and they use that reality to push an agenda that has nothing to do with compassion for the reported victims.

Let’s examine the agenda of the Left and the Democratic Party leaders who are pushing for open borders. For those who doubt that the Left is calling for open borders, I refer to the “New Way Forward Act” that was introduced by Democratic Illinois Representative Jesús García in December 2019, with forty-three co-sponsors. In the words of Matthew Tragesser from the Federation for American Immigration Reform:

“The act shields criminal illegal aliens from deportation, decriminalizes illegal entry, and creates a pathway for deported illegal aliens to return back to the U.S.”[3]

The Left is fond of Orwellian Newspeak and might say, “But no! We’re not for open borders. We just want to help the downtrodden.” Their policies and laws might not use the term “open borders,” but when legislation “decriminalizes illegal entry,” it becomes clear to the hordes of illegal aliens waiting in the wings that the borders of the United States are open to all.

The Left speaks about love and compassion for all the people who are so desperate to enter the United States. They state that the border wall is evil and illegal aliens, whom they describe as “undocumented immigrants,” have every right to live and work in America, and if you don’t agree with that, well then, you’re a hater and a bigot, and most likely a white, conservative Christian, which explains it all.

But, here’s a thought experiment: imagine that most of the illegal aliens who have poured across our border over the last decade or so had clearly articulated their support for Republicans and, most recently, for Donald Trump. Would the Democratic Party be pushing for open borders and voting rights for undocumented immigrants? Of course not. This scenario does not have to be proven. It’s simply common sense. This one fact reveals the hypocrisy of the open borders advocates.

Let’s do a second thought experiment: if most of those illegal aliens had gone through approved checkpoints, followed the law, studied English, passed the US Citizenship Test, and demonstrated support for Liberty, In God We Trust, and E Pluribus Unum, would most conservatives have had a problem with their entry into the United States? Of course not! Legal immigration of responsible human beings who believed in the founding freedoms of America has helped make America great for two-hundred and forty-four years.

In today’s America, the vast majority of our citizens do not care about the race, nationality, or color of legal immigrants. What matters is what those immigrants believe and whether or not they support the standards of freedom which have made America the land of the free and a beacon of hope for millions and millions of people across the world.

America is a country founded upon ideas and principles of freedom that are transcendent and historic. Most Americans knew and believed in those ideas until relatively recently. Now, after decades of Leftist miseducation of our young, America’s Godly and noble goal of becoming a city upon a hill is in severe danger of being abandoned.

Let’s imagine for a moment that on November 3, 2020, Joe Biden wins the Presidency, partnered with a radical, Leftist Vice President who will quickly take over after Biden is deemed unfit for office. Imagine that the House and Senate are lost to leftist Democrats. Imagine what will happen.

In short order, the border wall will come down. The departments of US Customs and Border Protection and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement will be weakened, defunded, and perhaps eliminated. Border patrol agents will no longer stop people from crossing the border illegally. “Illegal aliens” will no longer be a valid description that one can use because all of those individuals will obtain US driver’s licenses, health care, jobs, and legal status by default.

What will that do to our country? The borders will disappear and become lines on a map that have no consequence. Millions upon millions of foreign nationals from around the world will pour into America, day after day, week after week, year after year. Among them will be good-hearted fathers like Señor Martínez and his daughter Valeria. Among them will also be black-hearted cartel members who are inordinately fond of dismembering their victims. Among them will be Islamic jihadis, Chinese communists, sex traffickers, and dozens of other types of bad actors who will clearly damage and try to destroy the American way of life.

It is unrealistic to believe that those millions of illegal immigrants will eagerly seek to study English, American history, and the founding principles of the US Constitution. They will, however, very happily accept the public dole and largess of the Democratic Party. Most of them will become loyal Democrat voters for life.

With this new influx of voters, the power base of the Democratic Party will be secured, and socialism and economic collapse will be inevitable. Tyranny will sweep across the United States, and America will resemble Venezuela. As jobs disappear and the population starves, no one will want to immigrate to America anymore. Most people will want to leave, but where will they be able to go?

In this weakened state, the Chinese Communist military will be emboldened. Will an impotent America be able to defend its shores from their hostile advance? Probably not. Islamic Sharī‘ah law will also grow, spreading from enclaves across America. Since both orthodox Islam and Marxism are totalitarian, they will vie for ascendancy, and internecine conflicts in a declining America will cause even more destruction. America will be a truly terrible place to live.

If this seems grim, it’s because it is.

Now let’s step back and think about the verse “for God so loved the world” and consider what that means for America, freedom, and national borders.

Leftist activists are indoctrinating America’s youth that America has been and is irredeemably evil and racist—a country of negative value that has to be burned to the ground and remade as a socialist, Marxist utopia. That view of America is a brutal lie that can be demonstrated as false by anyone with an accurate and objective view of history.

John Winthrop’s conviction in 1630 that their new American colony was “a city upon a hill” has been confirmed for centuries as people all over the world flocked to our shores for a better life. Even Democrat Presidents John F. Kennedy[4] and Barack Obama[5] quoted Winthrop’s phrase in their description of America.

The central truth of America is that it was and still is a beacon of hope for billions of people because it truly is exceptional. Its Constitutional freedoms, Bill of Rights, and system of checks and balances have made it an incredible place to live and prosper. Its original Christian ethics have made it a moral country that has been able to grow beyond its flaws and become the least racist country in the world.

Just imagine if America had failed and collapsed. How would history have changed? Would Hitler’s Nazis, the Soviet Union, and China be in control of the world?

In many different ways, has America brought light to the world? I believe that an objective observer would say yes. I think that God would say yes as well and be pleased with the grand and noble American experiment.

If we are to continue to be of value to the world, we must remain healthy as a country. Our national health is dependent upon many factors, the most important of which is our commonly shared belief in the value of the founding principles of America and the US Constitution.

We have borders because we must maintain the well-being of our national home. We must ensure that the majority of our citizens continue to believe in Liberty, In God We Trust, and E Pluribus Unum. Those beliefs will fall away if we open our borders to newcomers who don’t share or care about American values. Our ship of state will founder under the weight of those who are ignorant or hostile to the principles that have made America exceptional.

Even if all illegal immigrants loved American values and assimilated completely as admirable citizens, we must still guard against the collapse of our economy. How many new immigrants can we handle? Ten thousand? Ten million? A hundred million? More?

It is not selfish to protect the health of one’s home or one’s country as we seek to continue to love the world and serve citizens of other countries who are suffering. America will be able to give blessings to the world as long as America is healthy, prosperous, and free. We have served the world in that way for almost three hundred years.

We now have a choice: continue in our service, with love and wisdom and common sense, or allow the Left to turn America into a broken, ignorant, totalitarian, and impoverished country that is unable to help anyone. If that happens, no one, here or abroad, will benefit. That will be a historic tragedy for America and the world.

May God guide us and help us remain as a city upon a hill.

Encephalopathy refers to a broad range of conditions that affect brain function, causing neurological symptoms. It’s not a single disease but rather a syndrome resulting from different underlying causes. These causes can include infections, metabolic issues, toxins, brain injury, or other systemic conditions. Symptoms can range from mild cognitive changes to severe neurological deficits, including confusion, memory loss, seizures, and even coma.

Cassius Clay, a.k.a., Muhammed Ali, one of the greatest boxers in modern history, lived the last 25 years of his life in chronic pain, onset Parkinson’s Disease, trembling limbs, inability to speak and suffered from dementia.

Once the talk of the world, he enjoyed good looks, an awesome 6’3” 220 pound physique, and lightning speed. He also sported a limited 78 IQ. While he enjoyed incredible attention, he suffered intellectual challenges.

“It is widely cited that Muhammad Ali scored a low IQ on a US Army entrance exam in the 1960s. Some sources state the score was as low as 68, while others say 78 or 83.”

While he commanded millions of dollars and millions of adoring fans, his finances hit bottom to the point he had to fight Larry Holmes who was 20 years younger, bigger and even more powerful. Holmes used Ali’s head for a speed bag during the fight. It proved a sad ending to Ali’s fabulous life. Ali lived the last 25 years of his life in utter misery.

Joe Frasier, one of Ali’s contenders, could not put two sentences together at the end of his life. In fact, most fighters who remain in the ring, live their lives with CTE or Chronic Trauma Encephalopathy. Debilitating, painful, dementia, misery.

Today, we see kick-boxing cage fighting. Those guys and gals literally knock the stuffings out of each other’s brains. If you’ve ever seen a fight, it’s quite sickening to see their heads rock back from the blows. You have to be a sadist to see the human destruction of another human being. It’s a blood sport.

Yet, like the Romans at the Coliseum, where 1.0 million men met their bloody deaths, and 3.0 million animals were slaughtered to the delight of the barbarian crowds, Americans love to see physical damage onto another human being.

That’s why the National Football League enjoys 80,000 to 100,000 modern day spectators or “fanatics” to pay huge money to watch gladiators tear into each other with incredible violence. The greater the collisions, the more the crowd roars. When someone is knocked out of the game, another gladiator comes into to take his place. The crowd could care less as to who gets hurt or how badly.

Consequentially, 92 percent of professional football players suffer from CTE. They suffer onset dementia, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. The average death for pro football players is 59 years.

“The average lifespan of a former NFL player is reportedly 59.6 years, which is significantly lower than the average lifespan of an American male, which is 76.3 years. Another study found that former NFL players die about 7 years earlier than former MLB players. This shorter lifespan is linked to higher rates of brain and heart disease, especially among those who played as linemen.”

The more an athlete gets his or her brains bashed in, the sooner they suffer dementia, Parkinson’s, tremors, and CTE. One of football’s greats from the Dallas Cowboys, Tony Dorsett, suffers horrible late-in-life consequences to his brain and body.

The Patriots’ famous tight end, Rob Gronkowski, at 6’7” 260 pounds, suffered 22 major concussions in his life. Even Tom Brady suffered hundreds of “sub-concussions” in his storied career. It’s going to be interesting how the last 1/3 of their lives will turn out after they turn 50.

The same goes for all the kids playing soccer when they use their heads, called “heading”, to hit the ball toward a team mate. With repeated “headings” as a young child, that young person faces damage to their developing brains. The more they play, the greater the damage.

With hockey, we’re talking tremendous brain damage when players get “checked.” Such hits from 230 pound hockey players rattles a person’s brain inside their heads. The damage multiplies over the years.

Parents need to examine how they want their kids’ lives to progress. Any and all contact sports where a person’s brain gets “hammered” repeatedly, need to be examined.

From own experience, I played Little League football, high school, and into college. I played at Michigan State at 6’2” 195 pounds, split end, fast with excellent hands. I used to get pounded on the practice squad with 6’8”, 280 pound Bubba Smith. I used to try to block him at his shoe laces so I would not get forearmed. My speed and size didn’t mean much in the Big Ten because there was always someone bigger, faster and meaner. In my junior, I got knocked out and in a coma for two days. I tried to cross body block a 240 pound linebacker, but I hit his up and coming knee. My helmet flew off and my body went limp. I woke up in the hospital two days later. That was the last time I suited up.

What am I saying? If you’re a parent, you might think twice before sending your child into a contact sport. Since I suffered that head trauma in college, I took up racquetball, tennis, bicycle racing, triathlons, mountain biking, swimming, squash, running, skiing, badminton, bowling, pickleball, rafting, rowing, weight lifting, dancing, and another dozen non-contact sports. I’ve enjoyed myself, played my heart out, won a few, lost a few…and thankfully, I can speak, write, talk, think, and still play all those sports.

In this life, there is nothing more important than your health. Money, fame, status mean nothing if you lack good health. You need to eat right to keep slim, such as the Mediterranean Diet, exercise one hour daily, maintain your spiritual balance whether church or meditation, and keep learning. As President Thomas Jefferson said, “I cannot live without books.” Hang with healthy friends, maintain purpose, laugh a lot, and be thrilled that you’re living a gracious, productive, happy and fulfilling life. Our lives are a one-time miracle in this universe. Make the very best of yours. Life and light, Sandi and Frosty Wooldridge

July 16, 2025

The Democrats pretend to have the solution to poverty – socialism – but the Republicans have a living example of how to escape it – Vice President J.D. Vance, who achieved success in life with the help of family members such as his grandmother, when his mother was hooked on drugs and his father had essentially abandoned him. “I’m all you got,” his grandmother told him.

Vance, rather than Trump, should be on the front lines of this debate. Trump, after all, is a billionaire who was born into wealth. He understands economics but lacks personal credibility on the matter of escaping poverty.

Vance’s background, documented in his book (and the movie, Hillbilly Elegy,) should replace socialist Michael Harrington’s book, The Other America, as required reading. Vance’s life story can serve as the playbook for challenging the socialist narrative. Vance is the witness to how Big Government cannot replace a coherent and stable family structure. He is a hero to those of us not born into wealth and power.

Harrington was a founder of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), the group taking the City of New York and the nation by storm with plans for free food and heath care, as the DSA member and mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani promises to “seize the means of production,” which characterizes the communist approach.

The purpose of socialism is to grow government in power and authority over us. Karl Marx, the father of communism, called for two things – the abolition of private property and abolition of the family. All we are then left with is government.

Michael Harrington abandoned his religious faith while J.D. Vance embraced it.

Vance Vs. Mamdani

Vance was born in Ohio and spent time in eastern Kentucky, where he was brought up in an environment where industrial jobs were few. Vance understands how families need stable structures, free from the “free trade” policies which produce “deaths of despair” from poverty and drugs.

For the “progressives,” like Mamdani, the answer is domestic production of mind-altering drugs like marijuana, to make compliant voters easy to manipulate. In 2024, City & State New York magazine reported that he “enjoys cannabis personally.” The putrid smell of legal pot permeates New York City.

As a result of legal and illegal drugs in New York City, New York Rep. Ritchie Torres, a Democrat, has demanded action against open an air drug market in the commercial sector of the South Bronx, New York, and has called for its permanent dismantling. He says, “Why should the people of the South Bronx be forced to see drug addicts injecting themselves with fentanyl in the presence of their children — all in broad daylight? …The State’s do-nothing approach and the City’s ad-hoc approach has led to a game of whack-a-mole in which the NYPD temporarily removes the open-air drug market, only to see it re-emerge almost overnight.”

For many in New York City these days, the smell of dope, crime, rats, and filthy streets are regular impediments to an ordinary life.  One recent visitor to the city commented, “Literally had to wear wading trousers to make my way through the streets of human waste.” One resident told me, “Everything outside of the Upper East and Upper West Side of the city are Shite holes.”

Socialism will not solve any of these problems.

For that reason, Vice President Vance must now step forward with the facts of life about how to escape these conditions. The solution is capitalism, not socialism, and the return of traditional family values.

Why the Left Hates Vance

The liberals hate Vance, a former Marine who used the G.I. Bill to attend Ohio State University and became a Yale Law School graduate, because they hate white working-class Americans. These are the people who voted for Trump and want to escape Democrat-controlled cities.

Mamdani is the claimed half-black socialist mayoral candidate in New York City who was born into wealth and power. He attended private school through eighth grade, then the “elite” Bronx High School of Science before graduating from a private college, Bowdoin College. A racist, Mamdani now wants to “shift the tax burden” to “richer and whiter neighborhoods.”

His father is the Indian-Ugandan academic Mahmood Mamdani and his mother Mira Nair is a millionaire film maker. He says he was born in India; his family then moved to Africa; and then to the United States.

His false claim to be half-black was revealed by the New York Times, a development that embarrassed the socialists backing him for mayor. He used the half-black claim to try to get into Columbia University but ended up at Bowdoin College, a private liberal arts college in Brunswick, Maine, where he started a chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine and studied the writings of Angela Davis, the former Communist Party USA official once honored by the East Germans.

In addition to being “black or African-American,” he claimed to be Asian and now says he is an “American born in Africa.”

The lies about his upbringing have been cited by Shaun Maguire, a partner at Sequoia Capital, who commented, “Mamdani comes from a culture that lies about everything. It’s literally a virtue to lie if it advances his Islamist agenda. The West will learn this lesson the hard way.”

His Islamist agenda is driven by the same ideology dominating Iran.

Looking at his background and transformation into a communist/socialist with anti-American views, columnist Wayne Allen Root believes there are there are legal grounds to revoke his American citizenship.

The press in far-away India is having a field day with his claim to be a Shia Muslim, a minority in Hindu-dominated India and whose religious ideology drives the aggression of Iran’s Ayatollahs.

In addition to this identity problem, some Muslims here and abroad do not like his affinity for “queers.”

Mamdani’s Family Life

He has an unusual personal life and suddenly became married when running for mayor, after several years as an assemblymember in the New York legislature. People magazine reports that Mamdani “kept the details of his romance fairly private” and married Rama Duwaji, a Syrian artist, in early 2025 at the City Clerk’s office, or so he claims.

The mystery of Mamdani is not unprecedented. Before he emerged on the scene, New York City had a mayor, Bill “Red Bill” de Blasio, who was born Warren Wilhelm Jr. Our investigations showed that his notes on his involvement with the communist-sponsored Nicaragua Solidarity Network included the words, “End world capitalism and replace it,” and next to de Blasio’s initials are the words “democratic socialism.”

De Blasio’s support for communist regimes in Cuba and Nicaragua, and his embrace of Islam as an emerging political force, were highlighted by New York Times but he won anyway, setting the stage for Mamdani’s rise to power.

De Blasio’s personal life was strange, to say the least. He married a black woman and former lesbian, Chirlane McCray, and they had two children together. They eventually “separated” but did not divorce.

McCray had lived in an enclave known as the Combahee River Collective, which had issued a “revolutionary” 1977 statement calling for “the liberation of all oppressed peoples” and “the destruction of the political-economic systems of capitalism and imperialism as well as patriarchy.”

Perhaps this is Mamdani’s manifesto as well, with a touch of radical Islam mixed in with Marxism. Anyway, the mystery of his identity must be solved before Mamdani is elected and rams government-owned grocery stores on the people, producing more poverty, not less, and leading to more misery.

To begin with, let us figure out whether Mamdani is truly an American and lied on his naturalization application and whether he should be deported. We cannot afford another Obama, who ran for office with a phony Social Security number, even on a local basis, because Mamdani is backed by the same forces aligned with the “Bolshevik Bernie” brand of “democratic socialism.”

Taking on this socialist onslaught is a role for Vice President Vance, with the credentials to challenge the basic tenets of socialism.

It is time for Trump to step aside in this debate and let Vance take the lead in a Reagan-style manner that emphasizes the differences between communism and freedom.

Standing Alone In The Midst Of The Unholy Alliance

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” – 2 Timothy 3:16

Last summer, I had the opportunity to be a part of a national church leadership Zoom conference from my home. The notables that were present were well known to us all.

The purpose of the Zoom meeting was to merely respond to a national, immoral and abominable issue that was assailing the family and targeting America’s children (Leviticus 18:22, 20:13; Luke 17:2; Romans 1:26; 1 Corinthians 6:9; Jude 1:71; Timothy 1:9-10).

Throughout this meeting, I have to say that I was not surprised at all to see what their resolve to this national issue would be. Their resolve was to merely post Scripture on social media platforms against those who were advocating crimes against the young. Right then and there, I understood why America is in the state that it is today.

These carnal men and women within the pulpits, having an admixture of both carnal and spiritual things, somehow think that inserting unscriptural mercies to the unrepentant, concerning these perpetrators, who are defiant to God’s Law, will somehow change things (Proverbs 17:15).

They are weak and self-appointed in many cases. They are compromising and pathetic gatekeepers, and nothing more (Proverbs 25:14; John 15:12).

Furthermore, they are responsible for what the culture today has become.

Oh, how prevalent this is today. Read 1 Kings 13:33 and Ezekiel 33:31.

In short, it is a club that I do not want to be named among.

It is a club of fleshly compromisers that are seeking fame and fortune, who care for little to nothing when it comes to the Lord being glorified (John 3:6).

They know very little of the practice of their confessions in private, though they know much of it in public (Matthew 23:3).

King David, a man after the Lord’s own heart, said, “I am a companion of all who [reverently] fear You, And of those who keep and honor Your precepts” (Psalm 119:63 (Amplified))

Where are these men of God in which David speaks? I know not but those who have passed. The Augustines, the Luthers, the Knoxs, Spurgeons, Whitfields, Bunyans, Booths, Edwards, etc.

These clicky club “church leaders” of today know nothing of the Lord.  Yet, only as far as it serves themselves and their donors.

No Law to grace preached, no repentance towards God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 20:21), no holiness preached, no blood preached, there is nothing heard out of their mouths concerning sanctification.  No, they have aligned themselves with others who are just as carnal as themselves.

These men act like those who are sewing with a needle to make pillowcases for the heads of those who heed their message, all the while indoctrinating with a carnal false grace and mercy.

How unlike, “Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men,” found in 2 Corinthians 5:11.

They should be, through their example, leading the charge with the sword of the Spirit in slaying and conquering sin the way that we are biblically commanded to do so (Hosea 6:5).  To be on the offensive and not the defensive (Matthew 16:18).

In fact, these are the ones that are responsible for the establishment in government (Because they have created one in the church), which everyone complains about.

These “good ole boys” spend more time defending corrupt politicians and will fight you on that one issue alone before you will ever see them defend the Gospel and truths within the pages of the Bible (Philippians 1:17).

These sacrifice the truth by continuously preaching a false peace in making war against the Lord (Micah 3:5).  How so, you might ask?  They teach “you just get along to go along.”   Don’t offend anyone, say they, while giving a pass to anyone that offends the Lord!  I ask, how could they ever explain away the history of the martyrs throughout church history?

This is not what Scripture teaches (Matthew 10:34).

The standard has become who and what they have become rather than pointing to the exalted Lamb of God, who was crucified for the sins of the world.  Apparently, they seemed to have forgotten that we will all, including the “good ole boys,” will be judged according to Christ in His risen state (John 1:29; 1 John 2:2).

“Because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.” -Acts 17:31

Yet, if you want to be a part of the ranks (hierarchy) when it comes to these “good ole boys” church leadership, then let me show you what is not tolerated.

Absolutely no reproof, no correction, no instruction in the ways of righteousness is tolerated (2 Timothy 3:16) and yet, this is what the Lord had commanded for us to do in unifying us in Christ (Proverbs 27:17; 1 Corinthians 1:10). However, if you do so, you will be ostracized, criticized and maybe even worse, that is if they had the power to do so (John 16:2-3).  How shameful they have become.  Additionally, somehow, the people would have it so while these compromisers play games in jeopardizing the souls of men (Jeremiah 5:31; 2 Timothy 4:3).

Conclusion: Jesus said, “For this reason have I come into the world to bear witness to the truth” (John 18:37).

His mission is not to bring peace.  His mission is not to bring unity (in compromise).  His mission is to bring truth, to speak the truth, and to live the truth.

If ever the church needed to hear that afresh, it’s today.  We live in a time where the agenda of the church is focused on everything but the truth.  Why?  It’s because truth inevitably divides, truth causes controversy, and truth creates uproars and tumults.

The whole philosophy of the professors today is “don’t rock the boat,” avoid controversy, and above all else, do not bear witness to the truth.

We have to look to Christ, who defined His entire mission in terms of bearing witness to the Truth.  This is the Truth that too many fail to bring because they seek the praise of men and not God (John 12:43).

Stand alone, if need be.  History teaches us that the majority have been in the wrong.

• Five of the ten amendments in the Bill of Rights are called the “Due Process Amendment”.
• What is this due process?
• Why is it so important to protecting our rights?

There has been a lot of talk about due process lately, but little of it seems to be informed by proof or evidence. Five of the ten amendments in the Bill of Rights are called the “Due Process Amendments.” With a little bit of research, we can not only be sure of what due process is, but how the Constitution protects our rights to it.

Due Process

We all know that the Bill of Rights was created to, well, protect our rights. Since half of the amendments are known as the “Due Process Amendments,” I think it’s safe to say that due process is important to protecting our rights.

If we’re going to talk about the due process amendments, we should start by making sure we know what due process is. From the Free Legal Dictionary we read:

An established course for judicial proceedings or other governmental activities designed to safeguard the legal rights of the individual.

due process – The Free Legal Dictionary

Due process is the protection of your legal and individual rights. With that in mind, let’s look at those due process amendments.

Fourth Amendment

While often described as protecting your right to privacy, that word does not exist in the Fourth Amendment. Because the Fourth Amendment is about so much more than “privacy.”

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

U.S. Constitution, Amendment IV

Privacy is defined by not being observed. From Webster’s 1828 Dictionary, privacy is:

A place of seclusion from company or observation

Privacy – Webster’s 1828 Dictionary

However, the Fourth Amendment starts with protecting you, your home, and your stuff. It makes sure you are not unreasonably searched or seized. From making sure you are:

Free from danger of being taken by an enemy

Secure – Webster’s 1828 Dictionary

The one question we really need to answer then, is what is reasonable?

Having the faculty of reason; endued with reason

Reasonable – Webster’s 1828 Dictionary

I was taught not to use a word in its own definition. While I’ve heard a lot of people describe it in many different ways, based on the rest of the amendment I think you can sum up ‘reasonable’ as having a good reason to do something.

For example, what makes a search or seizure reasonable? According to the Fourth Amendment, having a valid warrant makes it reasonable. Why? Because in order to get a valid warrant, you have to have probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation. That sounds like a good reason to me, having evidence that shows that something has probably happened. And not just your word, but the oath or affirmation of someone who knows. This is important because lying under oath or affirmation is a crime. That seems pretty reasonable, but there’s more. You see the warrant has to be specific about where someone can search and who or what can be seized. These requirements protect more than your right to privacy, but your legal right to security.

Fifth Amendment

I’m sure we’re all familiar with “pleading the fifth”, but there’s so much more to this amendment.

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

U.S. Constitution, Amendment V

This amendment starts with what happens when you are accused of a serious crime. The government cannot simply charge you with a capital or infamous crime (a felony). Only a Grand Jury, made up of citizens, can actually charge you. The only exceptions are for military forces, including the militia when in actual service. That’s because they are subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Also, you cannot be charged twice for the same offense. Of course, courts play fast and loose with this, claiming that both the federal and state governments can charge you with the same offense.

Then there’s your right to not be forced to self-witness. Notice, unlike what you see on TV, it’s not a right against self-incrimination, but against self-witness. It doesn’t matter if it’s incriminating or not, you cannot be forced to witness against yourself. Again, the courts have taken this further with your right to remain silent.

And don’t forget one of my favorite clauses: Your right to not be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. This is probably my favorite clause in the Bill of Rights because it doesn’t just protect your life and property, but your liberty, your ability to live your life as you see fit, without unnecessary external interference.

The other thing the Fifth Amendment is known for is eminent domain. This protection that says the government cannot take your property unless it’s for public use, in which case they must give you just compensation.

Sixth Amendment

The Sixth Amendment is all about criminal processes.

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

U.S. Constitution, Amendment VI

When you are charged with a crime, you have a right to a trial. Said trial must be both speedy and public. We often talk about a right to a jury of your peers, but your right is to an impartial jury. Furthermore, the jury must be in the state and district where the crime was committed. Courts make exceptions to the location when it can be shown that the accused cannot get an impartial jury.

You also have a right to be informed of what you are charged with, to confront witnesses against you, and to compel witnesses in your favor. You even have a right to the assistance of counsel. It’s funny, because we talk about a right to a lawyer, though that’s not what the Constitution says; it says you have a right to counsel. But why should you only be allowed to pick your counsel from someone who’s been to law school and a member of a private organization?

Seventh Amendment

While the Sixth Amendment dealt with the criminal process, the Seventh deals with civil suits.

In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.

U.S. Constitution, Amendment VII

One of the ways we petition our government for a redress of grievances (protected by the First Amendment), is a civil lawsuit. When you sue someone, or are sued by someone, you have a right to have the case decided by a jury as long as the value in question is greater than $20. And no, the Constitution did not allow for inflation.

Furthermore, when a fact is tried by a jury, no other court can re-examine that decision. When a lawsuit decision is appealed, it’s not the facts of the case that are reviewed, but the procedures used during the trial.

Eighth Amendment

The last of the Due Process Amendments is also probably the least considered. It is also the shortest.

Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

U.S. Constitution, Amendment VIII

What is excessive bail or fine? I guess that depends on what the crime is. For example, bail for a misdemeanor shoplifting charge shouldn’t be as high as first degree murder. Similarly, what makes punishment cruel and unusual? Because I’m sure the victim’s family might have a different answer than someone not involved in the case. I’m sure there are things that most people would consider cruel, but what if it was your family member that was harmed?

Conclusion

Due process is crucial to protecting your rights. So why is it so often overlooked in preference of the “sexier” amendments like the First or Second? I can’t tell you how many First Amendment cases I’ve reviewed that had nothing to do with that amendment. Rather, they were a case of being deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.

As I stated earlier, half of the amendments in the Bill of Rights are dedicated to protecting your rights through due process. Maybe these amendments should be the “sexy” ones. These amendments focus on our legal rights that are designed to make sure the wheels of government don’t run over us. For that reason alone, I think we should spend more time considering these Due Process Amendments, not to mention the rights they are designed to protect.

Maybe President Trump should have tarried a bit before going whole hog and hogging the spotlight with tariff declarations that could backfire on him and MAGAs come the next presidential election or even the midterm elections. Prices could go a sight more out of sight by then. Tariffs may only be practicable and effective if we had a manufacturing base to base our comeback and expectations on. We no longer have such a base, and it could take two generations to develop a really competitive one again. Meanwhile, prices could go through the roof if foreign companies raise prices to counteract the tariffs.

The Walmart shopper types and those on the lower rungs of the economic ladder would be most affected by the price increases and take it out on MAGA or Republicans in general come election time. We’re not that comparatively numerous and well-off anymore that the Chinese and other countries that turn out junk couldn’t find the customers they need elsewhere with exploding populations outside the US ready to consume mass-produced, low-priced knick-knacks. They could decline selling to the US because they don’t feel they have to, and the tariffs would be of little consequence then.

The primary American problem is that there simply aren’t enough people around with the experience, expertise, and motivation to produce quality products and services to get us fully back in the game. We let specialists and experts do all our stuff and thinking, and the ranks of experts in any particular area of enterprise are surprisingly thin, except perhaps for the computer gurus who deal with the digital nightmares and complexities we’ve brought upon ourselves. The rant that immigrants will do the jobs Americans won’t do is on target since many younger Americans are too unmotivated and incompetent to do many of them.

Too many lack the work ethic or mental discipline to make through a day of hard or concentrated work or otherwise get inspired enough to make ourselves useful. It sounds nuts, but there are about 400,000 factory and warehouse jobs open today but few with the training or ambition to do these foundational jobs, so they go begging or are filled by immigrants because of the large number of natives letting these opportunities pass them by, or because the immigrants will accept much lower levels of compensation. This is demonstrated by the continuing large listings of help wanted ads post-pandemic, many of which display the salaries involved. That used to be something reserved for negotiations and job interviews in former times.

The problem, or the gradual slide into decline, albeit interspersed with a few positive periods, began innocently enough when FDR instituted the child labor laws in 1936, ostensibly to protect young workers from exploitation, but are really a means to fudge the figures for the number of workers unemployed at the time. No longer could one get the type of work at young ages which allowed one to gain basic know-how, work experience, and to develop an important work ethic. Thus, many young people never got to do a good day’s work until age 18 or later. They were fed much academic material with no means to apply what they were learning, which was to their later detriment. In truth, FDR’s coddling labor laws led slowly tended to feed the trend of creating a nation of lay-abouts.

The wartime draft that began in 1940 kicked the can down the road but gave youth some good military experience which helped develop discipline. However, once the war was over, there was a large surplus of potential workers with little to do but apply for college using the GI Bill, which restricted the labor supply and thus kept wages high, but started the trend to rely too much on a college education to make one’s way in the work world. Many young people started to choose college over learning a useful trade where they would be needed and would be welcomed. As part of this trend, blue collar work in general began to be denigrated. A whole new set of career paths was then established which required a college degree as a prerequisite to enter.

These career paths were for entry primarily into middle-management positions which in actuality were a drain on profits and actually retarded the innovation which was the basis for much American exceptionalism. Thus, the “organization man” culture was created which emphasized moving up the ladder of success within organizations without any special relationship to accomplishing anything that resulted in creating wealth for the economy or the company or fostering innovation. The positions involved were in marketing, communications, business management, and human resources, which were more fluff than productive for the company. Much time was wasted on committee meetings which tend to downplay truly creative ideas and increase the flow of the status quo. These new classes of mouse-wigglers and latte-swiggers waste company and personal time on creating exaggerated resumes, faking it, playing office politics and throwing one’s weight around.

Effort was also misplaced into looking for opportunities in other firms, networking with other professionals in the same field, relocating to other areas around the country where the grass was thought to be greener, so to speak, all with a view on inching up the ladder of success using whatever avenues that present themselves for upward mobility. These professionals eventually wound up with one reaching a level of incompetence per the Peter Principle. Another end result of all of this, is that those who do the least get paid the most, and those who do the most get paid the least. This situation needs a major shake-up to correct, which major economic challenges will help facilitate, before the US can again challenge China and other countries with better entrepreneurial cultures and much better educational systems. This will take some time. However, there is some renewed emphasis now on internships, shop classes, work/study and apprenticeship programs with the MAGA culture leading the way. It will take some time and effort, however, to overcome the over-emphasis on fringe benefits such as vacation time, health benefits, etc. instead of getting the job done in the best fashion, before using tariffs as a tool to increase US competitiveness can be effective.

The Veterans Treatment Court of Santa Rosa County, FL, recently asked for $150,000 for another year of service to some of our most tragically ignored veterans.

These men and women served us, but the Governor of Florida just vetoed that request, and refused to serve them.

For those not familiar with a Veterans Treatment Court (VTC), it is a construct within our judicial system which helps our veterans who have had a tangle with the law such as substance abuse, motor vehicle arrests, actions stemming from PTSD and other psychological injuries, even brain damage resulting from combat-related injuries. They need a helping hand to rejoin society.

That assistance comes through the VTC as assistance with navigating the court system, to understand what to do and when to do it, whom they can rely on and who/what they need to avoid.

If you have ever had to navigate anything in our courts by yourself, pro se, you understand the need for guidance.

The Santa Rosa County Veterans Court request for funding was also asked for unusual, DOGE-type information, a request for the estimated “ROI (return on investment) Justification”, as some kind of proof that they really did need the money. (?) This was an unusual ask from Tallahassee, but the volunteers spent many days, and produced the answer.

DeGov’s team may be sorry they did…

The return on investment for the Santa Rosa Veterans Treatment Court (VTC) request was 757%. Read that again.

The $150k they’d requested would return over seven and one half times its initial cost in benefits and services. It would also potentially save dozens of lives of veterans who have served our country, and come to the VTC on the brink of giving up.

This veto from DeGov made me wonder about the Live Local Act (SB102), and its return on investment of taxpayer monies. Its initial costs were $711 million, with indirect costs from tax incentives adding significant financial implications. Will it return over $5.382 billion (that’s 757% on $711 million) to the benefit of Floridians, as it provides tax breaks for developers of multi-family residential developments while it removes the decisions to do this, from the proper county authorities – aka the citizens? Remember, too, that the Live Local Act has been amended in both 2024 and 2025, with more of the same.

Reminds you just how much Tallahassee loves developers… but, back to our vets.

Says FloridaCourts.org, Veterans who complete the Veterans Treatment Court (VTC) are as much as 32 percent less likely to commit another crime in the first year versus the average incarcerated person in the United States. Veterans Treatment Court provides an opportunity for veterans who have substance abuse or mental health concerns to undergo court-supervised treatment instead of going to jail or facing other consequences.

Florida Veterans Treatment Courts offer a way for veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces who face non-violent misdemeanor or third-degree felony charges to get the treatment they need for a mental health or substance abuse concern. After applying and getting approval from the State Attorney’s Office, they must:

• Undergo mental health and/or substance abuse treatment;
• Go in front of a Veterans Treatment Court judge frequently; and
• Take regular drug and alcohol tests to ensure sobriety.

Participation in this program is voluntary but offers a more favorable outcome than facing penalties handed down by the criminal court system that do not include treatment. Most veterans enter the Veterans Treatment Court as a pre-trial intervention in Florida for their first offense. This allows them to get their charges dismissed after completion of the program.

In addition to using the Veterans Treatment Court as pre-trial intervention, Florida courts also sometimes use post-plea Veterans Treatment Court. This allows the veteran to participate in order to reduce their probation and get the adjudication withdrawn in their case.

This approach allows many veterans to get help for their substance abuse or mental health disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). While there are few studies on this concept, Veterans Treatment Court statistics from at least one point at significant benefits of Veterans Treatment Court over jail time or other penalties.

The biggest and most enduring benefit of the program DeSantis vetoed, has been transformative power of hope, structure, and community—qualities embodied by this Veterans Treatment Court in Santa Rosa County.

“If you were to visit our community”, says Carmen Reynolds, Lt. Col. (Ret), USAF), Chair of Friends of Santa Rosa Veterans Treatment Court, “you would witness almost 50 volunteers and organizations coalescing to support this specialty treatment court. Many of these organizations signed letters of support attached to the Governor’s Budget Office request for an ROI Justification.

“These are the type of programs which almost pay for themselves, this one saving more than $1 million in incarceration costs and unpaid volunteers.

“The Mentor Program is the “secret sauce” which makes the program so effective,’ continued Ms. Reynolds. “It drops recidivism rates to between 8-12%, compared to the civilian criminal justice rates which exceed 60%.” A veteran always has someone to turn to, to ask questions of, to learn from, to feel friendship when needed the most.

“In our minds, with this high ROI,” said Lt. Col. Reynolds, “we could never have anticipated the redlining of this $150,000 appropriation.”

Sad to say, DeGov may well have reacted in spite towards another politician or community leader, instead of doing his duty by our Veterans. Santa Rosa’s VTC is the newest in Florida, #33 of 67 counties to have such a body of friends to our vets. This would have been their second year of successful operation. Why veto Santa Rosa’s??

The amount of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars was apparently important enough to DeGov to veto a line item which would have helped dozens of those who served our country, be able to go on with their own lives on a straighter and safer path. The Santa Rosa citizen volunteers, or “battle buddies”, provide transportation, housing, food, clothing, incentives for recovery. They even were able to donate an “E Bike” for a vet who could not drive due to anxiety attacks. They charge NOTHING back to the state; they just give of their personal resources with a blessed spirit.

The detailed impact of this veto by DeSantis was to:

♦ lose the full-time Treatment Coordinator, crucial for intake, tracking compliance and resource referrals to the vets. The vets lost a real friend on whom they could check in with and rely.

♦ risk loss of contracted urinalysis professional, which undermines accountability for each vet in the program.

♦ Exclude vets who have no VA benefits – often homeless uninsured and traumatized – from the Veterans Court system and the help they so desperately need.

♦ Eliminate access to inpatient treatment for mental or substance abuse issues for those vets without VA coverage;

♦ Risk loss of jobs by currently employed veterans, loss of drug-testing “sweat patches” (which will then cost each vet $360/month out of pocket; and forces purchase of costly alternatives IF available.

“In a county of a total of nearly 30,000 veterans, there have been 596 who have passed through Santa Rosa jails in 16 months. Thirty of those would have been adjudicated and treated by the veterans court system, which saves the state $38,325 in incarceration costs for every vet who graduates from the program”, say the Friends of Santa Rosa Veterans Court, the group who gives their time and energies to the veterans every day.

Go to the website of the Friends of Santa Rosa Veterans Court, santarosavtc.com, to learn more and help them if you can. Tallahassee somehow won’t.

Frankly, this whole thing is NOT a good look for a Governor who is all about appearances. Did DeSantis think no one would notice when he vetoed a relatively small $150k grant to help our veterans deal with some of life’s challenges?? Or was he just “playing politics” and getting back at some back-room foe?

Whatever, Governor, your veto will now be added to the societal costs of the agony of our military service personnel who have done for us, only to find that we will not be able to do for them.

AND, another black mark on your performance, Sir, will be added to your record as governor, by your constituents. The country needs to know these things about you as well. The word will spread.

And more will understand why I occasionally dub you, “DeSmallman.”

Over the decades I’ve written about so many issues but farmers and ranchers has always been a priority for me.  Their lives are hard whether diary, veggies or livestock.  That critical sector of America’s existence has changed a lot with farm equipment that now does the job of a half dozen men or women.

“The planter, the farmer, the mechanic, and the laborer… form the great body of the people of the United States, they are the bone and sinew of the country men who love liberty and desire nothing but equal rights and equal laws.” —President Andrew Jackson

America’s greatness was built on our industrial, manufacturing and industrial sectors.[1]:  What Made America Great.  Then the privately owned unconstitutional “FED” and big money to buy off members of CON-gress began the first stages of destruction.  And, as time has passed, too many sons and daughters want nothing to do with farming and ranching.  Not when there’s that fancy phone to blabber on or struggle in some college or university for a worthless degree and a ton of debt.

Now, granted, we have to remember there was a time of mandatory draft to serve in some branch of our military.  Thousands of farmers and ranchers were pulled off their land and sent off to fight in undeclared wars like the VietNam “era”.  It was a time when LEGAL seasonal workers crossed the border and at the end of planting/harvesting time, went back to their home country.

Of course, not every American wants to be a rancher or farmer, understood.  But they ARE the ones who feed us and our families.  I do know from all my years of activism that a lot of young men do go to local community colleges and training courses to learn how to efficiently farm, run livestock and are the best stewards of our land.  I also know our family  farmers and ranchers are being grossly and recklessly harassed and sued by cockroaches (DA’s or AG’s) given the “power” to destroy lives and families by bought and paid for state legislatures.

After the bankers crashed the stock market[2], Americans couldn’t find work.  Weather destroyed the ability to grow food.  The situation was very, very bad for quite some time.  To make matters worse, Mexican workers were flooding farms taking jobs so desperately needed by Americans. Jon Christian Ryter wrote a superb history on this back on January 27, 2010[3].  It really is worth the time to read.

Please understand that when I first heard the term “Operation Wetback” many, many decades ago, I thought it very offensive.  I was born in Merced, California, 76 years ago; that area up and down the state was and is known as the “food belt”.  All of us kids (I’m half Sicilian and half German) were from everywhere and we all played together and didn’t give a hoot what color your skin was.  Jon Christian Ryter is a wonderful human being, intelligent, excellent reporter, author of several fine books; fearless and truly kind-hearted.  I can’t speak for Jon but his use of the word Wetback was part of history already.

Short excerpt:

“At the end of World War II, President Harry S. Truman was faced with the same problem that plagued Hoover in 1931—no jobs for US citizens. Under Roosevelt’s Public Law 78 agri-giants, who needed dirt cheap labor were allowed to import labor from Mexico even though 25% of the American labor force was out of work—and in the dust bowl farm states, unemployment stood at over 70%. Under Public Law 78, when work contracts were fulfilled, the employer was responsible, under law, to transport the migrant worker back to Mexico. As thousands of migrant workers simply vanished into the human landscape, taking what few jobs were available from American workers, Truman’s solution was to issue a terse public statement admonishing Congress, and telling the American people that Congress assured him they would fix the problem. (Yeah, we can see how well the buck stopped at his desk.)

“During the prosperity of the war years (1943-54), illegal alien immigration increased by 6,000%, triggering Operation Wetback II and III. In 1954, the INS estimated that illegals—not legal migrant workers—were crossing the US border at the rate of one million per year and that they were penetrating much deeper into the nation that in preceding decades because the INS concentrated their efforts only in the border States. The INS, on orders from the White House, went through the motions of rounding up both illegal aliens and migrant workers who overstayed their visas. Truman deported about 30 thousand Mexicans during his seven years in office.” (Rest at link.)

When I began covering the illegals invasion (demonstrations at the capitol in Sacramento and down in LA back in 2006), I learned a lot from my research because quite frankly, I was focused on the spraying of our skies, getting rid of the “FED” and so many other issues destroying this country.

One thing I did learn was how horrible LEGAL, seasonal workers primarily from Mexico, were treated by greedy farmers – especially in California.  Bent over all day in blistering heat to pick strawberries and then get treated little better than the slaves brought to America.

Rees Lloyd is another one of NWV’s outstanding writers [his bio here].  A champion and lawyer for our veterans.  He also wrote a touching and historically factual essay about Cesar Chavez – who was an American not a Mexican or communist.  I think today if Americans knew the truth about how seasonal workers (mostly from Mexico) used to be treated, they would be absolutely appalled.  Truly, little better than mistreated cattle.  March 31: Cesar Chavez Day: Honoring an American Hero

There used to be what was referred to as Braceros who were given legal permission to enter the U.S. to fill the huge gap for farm workers because of wars and “Americans didn’t want to work the fields”.  (Baloney) In the end, the whole program went down the crapper.  The program didn’t end or even dent the number of illegal aliens coming into the country.

Braceros: History, Compensation: “The UFW testified in Congress in support of employer sanctions, fines on employers who knowingly hired illegal workers. Chavez complained bitterly about the use of unauthorized Mexican migrants. UFW-called strikes for higher wages and benefits were often broken by contractors with crews of unauthorized workers, and many of the contractors stayed in business.

“By the early 1980s, the UFW was losing members and contracts, contractors were expanding rapidly, and labor costs fell with stable farm wages and disappearing fringe benefits. This “downward spiral” in the farm labor market was expected to be reversed by the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, which aimed to legalize farm workers and stop illegal immigration. In order to retain these newly legalized farm workers, the theory went, farmers would have to offer higher wages and benefits. However, with illegal immigration continuing, farmers did not have to offer higher wages and benefits.

“Compensation. About 10 percent of the wages earned by Braceros between 1942 and 1949 were withheld by US farmers and sent by US banks to Mexican banks. These forced savings often disappeared, and the Mexican government said it had no record of what happened to these forced savings.” Act surprised.

After Reagan sold us out by giving amnesty to illegals(4] (video words right out of his mouth, his master plan also flopped and the illegals kept coming stealing jobs that belonged to natural born or naturalized citizens.  Then came the illegitimate Biden criminal administration and we are now over run with illegals stealing our resources, collapsing our medical system, raping, robbing, murdering and profiting from drug and arms sales.  The ONLY way to stop it as I have written since 2014 is to stop ALL welfare at all levels of government, state and federal.  That will and is already happening:  thousands, not hundreds, thousands have now crossed back over into Mexico because they know the “free” is just about over.  If they do so legally, just like both sets of my grandparents, they can then apply to enter the U.S. and become American citizens.

I bring this up this history because I am beyond disgusted with this:

What? Trump Says He’s Working on Legislation to Protect Illegal Alien Farm and Hospitality Workers – Says People Who Don’t Support Amnesty for Illegal Farm and Hospitality Workers are “Serious Radical Right People” (VIDEO), July 4, 2025

Well, Mr. President, I voted for you three times and I am PISSED about this repeat of Ronnie Reagan opening the flood gates. Emphasis mine.

President Trump stunned many of his supporters during a rally at the Iowa State Fairgrounds on Thursday when he revealed that legislation is being drafted to apparently grant amnesty to some illegal aliens in the agriculture and hospitality industries.

“He appeared to credit his Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins for the idea. “You’re the one that brought this whole situation up,” Trump said to Rollins from the stage.

“You had cases where, not here, but just even over the years, where people have worked for a farm, on a farm, for 14, 15 years, and they get thrown out pretty viciously, and we can’t do it,” the President told the crowd. “We’ve got to work with the farmers and people that have hotels and leisure properties too.”

“However, as The Gateway Pundit reported, deportations of illegal aliens, even the so-called “noncriminals,” are working for American workers. After a major ICE raid at Glenn Valley Foods in Omaha, Nebraska, every seat in the plant’s waiting area was filled with prospective new hires, just 48 hours after federal agents cleared out the illegals, none of whom were “violent offenders.”

Illegal means illegal, Mr. President whether the illegal alien (not migrant or undocumented workers) has been here 10 minutes or 30 years.  You don’t reward those who violate our laws no matter how inconvenient it is for them and that’s EXACTLY the message being sent:  Eh, so what if you snuck across the border 20 years ago, it’s okay.  You’ll be rewarded.  Not to mention the MASSIVE crime wave the fake Biden administration welcomed into our country.  How utterly damn stupid and dangerous.  ANY seasonal ag worker must be vetted or they don’t get a pass to work for decent wages and humane living conditions.

There are millions of Americans who want to work as demonstrated at many meat packing plants that have been raided and illegals taken into custody AND – hospitality industries.  I’m sorry, President Trump but this STINKS.  You and your adult children run YOUR hospitality holdings like hotels, golf courses, etc.  This reeks of political nepotism and will continue to deny natural born and naturalized citizens the opportunity to get hired to take care of them and their families.

Amnesty for illegals is nothing more than rewarding them for violating OUR immigration laws.  Neither my father or mother’s parents snuck into this country.  They had to wait, but did it the right way and there was no welfare.  You worked or you didn’t eat. 

Do we need a new, workable, fair program just for seasonal ag workers where actually needed?  Yes, we do Secretary Rollins and just who are you anyway?  A lawyer who worked for our former corrupt deep state governor (TX), Rick Perry.  Her confirmation was unanimous; she was endorsed by organizations who would profit the most.  And, of course, Trump credits this damn amnesty plan to not only Rollins but his powerful Chief of Staff:  Susan Wiles. If you don’t know who she is, you should.  Mr. President, Who On Earth is Vetting Your MAGA Appointees? Part 2, Nov. 18, 2024, Kelleigh Nelson

“For the first time in my memory, a newly named Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, accompanied Trump to the White House meeting.  She is Trump’s Gatekeeper.  Her background is impressive, but it is not America First. Wiles openly states she disagrees with a lot of Trump’s policies.

“She is co-chair at Mercury LLC, a subsidiary of Omnicom, a global leader in marketing communications that makes money through its relationships with Ford Foundation, Uber, Kaiser Permanente, United Nations Foundation, Pfizer, Gilead and Bill Gates’ GAVI. Omnicom is a partner with the World Economic Forum, a promoter of DEI, who controls 1,500 marketing and communications agencies and provides brand and advertising services to over 5,000 clients in more than 100 countries.  Susie has stated publicly that she is pro-trans and for open borders.  She is not MAGA.

“She has been with Donald Trump since 2015, and especially active the last three years.

“In 2020, dissident physicians disagreed with the hospital protocols and Covid jabs and wanted to see President Trump.  Attorney Tom Renz tells J.D. Rucker that Susie Wiles made sure those physicians were never allowed to see President Trump. Scroll to about 45 minutes into the video.” (Wiles to me is another Bob Barr.)

And speaking of food and farmers, the new MAHA movement (Make America Healthy Again) will only happen when Americans decide they want to be healthy and doctors don’t have to fear any longer for telling the truth about things like the COVID-19 gene therapy injections (legally a bio-weapon not a vaccine.)  Too many untrained foreign doctors are here now who are in it for the money and don’t give a damn about you and I speak from experience.  Most are glued to every word from big pharma.

There are so many web sites and substacks written by experienced, caring and courageous doctors it can take hours (or days) researching in an effort to separate the quacks and money grubbers from the “real McCoy”.  Last week I had the pleasure of speaking with a doctor I happened to read about on a substack by A Midwestern Doctor.  This posting by him shows the massive amount of money DemonRats (Democrat/Communist Party USA) have hauled in by big pharma; go take a look. Hypocrites and liars.  Main substack for A Midwestern Doctor: “I write The Forgotten Side of Medicine where I expose pharmaceutical corruption and remarkable therapies lost to time for the health of humanity.”

I’ve been reading him, Dr. McCullough and so many others for years now but last week on A Midwestern Doctor, I happened to find Dr. Robert Yoho and spent hours reading his posts.  DrYoho.com

Dr. Yoho provides for free so much of his work and research by other doctors not afraid of big pharma even though so many have been persecuted by witless political hacks on state health boards. His ebooks are free to download; I do recommend becoming a subscriber.  Knowledge is power.

On this page – Surviving Healthcare – you’ll find an amazing list by category to get educated on “things” like DSMO.  As I wrote above, I spoke at length with Dr. Yoho even though he’s in Europe right now; no need to tell you which country.  I had sent him an email with a couple of specific questions and shock, he called me a couple hours later.

When I say his substack is worth a few dollars to subscribe (altho’ just about all is free (links provided), you will be amazed at what you learn – and hopefully un-learn pumped out by a corrupted medical system.  Remember:  There’s no money in the cure, only the treatment. 

Some diseases can’t be cured – yet.  However, through integrative medicine and such dedicated doctors and scientists, they are making a huge contribution for humanity.  We know certain cancers are completely curable but cancer is a BIG MONEY INDUSTRY which I’ve written about many times:  The Cancer Research Money Machine, Oct. 9, 2006 // Cures for Cancer – Congress Doesn’t Want You to Know, Oct. 6, 2012 // Is it Possible to Have a World Without Cancer & Autism?, April 25, 2022 (I have been taking B-17 since 1994.)

This was written by one of NWV’s brilliant writers, Joan Swirsky (what an amazing CV and life of experience in the medical field.)  Looking For Answers to the Autism Epidemic in All the Wrong Places, April 21, 2023.  (Too bad RFK, Jr. doesn’t seem to want to meet with Joan.)

I also highly recommend Kelleigh Nelson’s July 13, 2025, column AG Secretary Rollins is Still Working for the Kochs, NOT Trump and share it along with mine. Going back to the sickening legislation being drawn up to give illegals amnesty.

Americans must demand NO AMNESTY FOR ILLEGALS, PERIOD.  We are losing thousands of family-owned farmers every year to conglomerates who eventually will own and control ALL the food we are allowed to eat. Think not?

Send President Trump email – I do it all the time and only takes a few minutes; click here.  He who yells the loudest gets the most attention. Shout down the roof to your U.S. Rep and Senator (the ones up for reelection next year; 1/3^rd of the senate):  NO AMNESTY FOR ANY ILLEGALS.  Draft a bill for seasonal agriculture workers only as I covered above and they must be vetted.  Lord, I’m so sick of RINO’s and just plain low IQ nitwits in CON-gress like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Rosa Delauro, Mazie Hirono just to name a few.

Mexicans Angrily Protest Americans Moving In, July 6, 2025 //Oh the Irony: Mexicans Lose Their Minds As AMERICANS Immigrate Into Their Country for Better Living Conditions (VIDEO), July 6, 2025

Liar (Emphasis mine):  La Reconquista: Mexican Senate President Floats a Plan to Annex Part of United States as Illegal Aliens Continue to Cause Mayhem in LA (VIDEO), June 11, 2025:  “One of the most powerful leaders in Mexico is floating a plan for his country to seize a large chunk of the United States’ land as the riots in Los Angeles continue to rage.

“Señor Gerardo Fernández Noroña, the President of the Mexican Senate, responded to mayhem on Monday by promoting La Reconquista, a radical idea supported by individuals who want the American Southwest returned to Mexico…Fernández Noroña then held up the 1830 map, which shows the states of California, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and more as part of Mexico.” Rest at link.  Seize OUR land?  In your dreams, buddy.

I guess Señor Noroña has either forgotten about the Guadelupe Hidalgo Treaty or chooses to make idiotic statements about returning the American Southwest to Mexico.  National Archives:  Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (1848)

“This treaty, signed on February 2, 1848, ended the war between the United States and Mexico. By its terms, Mexico ceded 55 percent of its territory, including the present-day states California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, most of Arizona and Colorado, and parts of Oklahoma, Kansas, and Wyoming. Mexico also relinquished all claims to Texas, and recognized the Rio Grande as the southern boundary with the United States.

“The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which brought an official end to the Mexican-American War (1846-48), was signed on February 2, 1848, at Guadalupe Hidalgo, a city to which the Mexican government had fled with the advance of U.S. forces.

“With the defeat of its army and the fall of the capital, Mexico City, in September 1847, the Mexican government surrendered to the United States and entered into negotiations to end the war…

“With the annexation of more than 525,000 square miles of land, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo extended the boundaries of the United States west to the Pacific Ocean. This agreement, along with the 1853 Gadsden Purchase, created the southern border of the present-day United States.

“The U.S. government paid Mexico $15 million “in consideration of the extension acquired by the boundaries of the United States” and agreed to pay American citizens debts owed to them by the Mexican government. Other provisions included the protection of property and civil rights of Mexican nationals living within the new boundaries of the United States, the promise of the United States to police its boundaries, and compulsory arbitration of future disputes between the two countries.”

$15 million bux in gold back then was a fortune. Señor Noroña needs a lesson in his own country’s history.

[4] Video. Reagan opened the border for illegals make no mistake about that– in his own words.  Ronald Reagan – “I Believe in Amnesty for Illegal Aliens”

By Kelleigh Nelson

July 14, 2025

In the last five years, he has advertised in local newspapers and accepted more than a dozen unemployed applicants from the state’s job agency. Even when the average rate on his fields was $20 an hour, the U.S.-born workers lost interest, fast. “We’ve never had one come back after lunch. — Bob Goehring, grapes farmer in California who is re-engineering his vineyards so they can be harvested by machines

There is a shortage of ready, willing and able agricultural workers. It’s a crisis. There is not a demographic in the United States that is willing to do the work. It’s hard, cold and dirty. We either will import our workers or we will import our food. It’s one or the other. —Brandon Mallory, CEO of Agri-Placement Services

The people I know are wonderful people. They care about their jobs. We trust them with our animals, for God’s sake. This is everything for us. This is our livelihood. If we were to lose our export markets, it would have a huge, immediate impact on the food industry. Period. They’re not taking away jobs. They’re filling a void. They’re here for the same reasons our parents were. They’re here to provide a better life for themselves and their families. — unnamed farmer in Vermont

We have a high percentage of undocumented workers, many of whom have been here for years. They are dependable and they run the machinery and they are managers, and they are some of the most important people on those farm operations. People are very, very concerned because we are afraid our migrant workers won’t come, or these enforcement measures will result in much stricter enforcement and people will end up being pulled off of highways and out of the fields during the season. — Larry Wooten, North Carolina Farm Bureau

In June, Trump floated a “temporary pass” for illegal aliens in farm and hotel work. The administration has mostly left the agriculture sector alone.  Recently, however, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers arrested more than 70 workers at an Omaha, Nebraska meat packing plant.

Other federal agents targeted cannabis farms north of Los Angeles, on the same day, June 11^th. Multiple agents arrived at the Glass House Farms, a state-licensed cannabis facility which is considered illegal under federal law, in Camarillo. Federal authorities had a warrant for illegal employees. Another raid also occurred at another Glass House Farm in Carpinteria. Department of Homeland Security spokesperson, Tricia MacLaughlin said investigators found nine unaccompanied migrant children there.   Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott said the facility was “under investigation for child labor violations.”

In addition, U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli said the FBI has offered a $50,000 award for information leading to the conviction of an unknown suspect who appeared to fire a pistol at federal law enforcement officers near Camarillo.

As the quotes above indicate, the migrants helping with agriculture and dairy farming are very important to the ranchers and farmers.  Many of them are seasonal, but some have full time jobs on the farms and ranches and are supporting their families.  They are honest and reliable people.

How does ICE know whether they’re documented workers or not?

That’s the question.

Harm could come to both the migrant employee and the employer who has crops that must be harvested or lost.

Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins

Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins wants to legalize illegals working for big farms.  Rollins comes by this desire naturally as she was the former Koch Brothers think-tank chief.  Her dream is waves of government-approved cheap foreign labor flowing over the border, which matches the desires of her former employers.

Her roots are planted deep in Texas with former President George W. Bush and Texas Governor Rick Perry, neither of whom are considered conservatives. From 2003 to 2018, Rollins was president and CEO of the Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF), a Koch Brothers-funded think tank.

David Koch, who died in 2019, was on the boards of Earth watch Institute, an environmental, sustainability, Agenda 21 group, and the globalist new age Aspen Institute formerly headed by deceased new age environmentalist Maurice Strong,

the forerunner of Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum.  Strong was the founder and first Secretary General of United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP).  He was the driving force behind the birth and imposition of UN Agenda 21, now the Great Reset.

The Kochs signed onto an amicus brief for the supreme court supporting gay rights and gay marriage.  In 1980, David Koch backed a platform calling for the full legalization of abortion.

Their 2018 ad campaign for amnesty showed they promote open borders, mass immigration, and mass amnesty for illegal aliens, despite opposition from the American people.  The ad promoted endless free trade, and foreign interventionism.

Koch money supported Andrew Cuomo as Governor of New York, who had publicly stated, “America has never been great.”

They also had a multi-year, multi-million-dollar campaign to tout free trade and oppose tariffs, defying President Trump’s goals.

Secretary Rollins’ agendas are those of David and Charles Koch.

For more on the privately held Koch Industries and their political activities, the following two articles, here and here, will inform and enlighten.

In 2013, Rollins said, “They are not going back to Mexico.”  For Rollins and the TPPF, one key aspect of the immigration reform agenda was essential: a colossal expansion of a guest worker program for foreigners.  She acknowledged her support for amnesty and for importing a greater number of foreign laborers into the U.S. in a revealing 2013 interview with Texas Monthly magazine. “Brooke Rollins: Time for Conservatives to Do the Right Thing.”

Donald Trump nominated Rollins as Secretary of Agriculture, a woman who wanted to legalize 11 million aliens a dozen years ago via Obama, and is now in charge of an agency that oversees a corporate Big Ag construct that employs untold millions of illegals today.

Brooke Rollins seeks to implant the Koch cheap labor economic vision inside the America First Trump White House.  She is not on our side!

From Liberty Nation News, “We will have a 100 percent legal workforce [on America’s farms] very, very soon,” Rollins told reporters on July 4^th while standing alongside Trump. “The President and I have consistently advanced a ‘Farmers First’ approach, recognizing that American households depend upon a stable and LEGAL agricultural workforce,” she wrote in a June 15th social media post.

Note the word in all caps, it’s like that for a reason!

When Donald Trump was running for President in 2016, the Koch brothers were brutally honest about how much they despised him.  They had formed the GOP in their likeness for years and Trump could foil it.  Instead, they weaseled their way into Trump’s first term with two of their people in top positions, Mike Pence as Vice-President and Kellyanne Conway as his campaign manager and later as counselor to the president.  Conway and Pence brought in another 42 Koch people.  Josh Pitcock was Pence’s first Chief of Staff.  His wife, Katherine Seaman, worked for disgraced FBI Agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page.  It is alleged that this was the backdoor to the FBI eliminating General Michael T. Flynn as National Security Advisor.

Brooke Rollins is in position to gain the desires of her former employers, and Trump is all for it because he believes migrants will help American farmers. The Ag Secretary is planning a massively expanded guest worker program that grants blanket legal status to millions of foreign farm workers. It is one way to claim you have eradicated the illegal alien problem in the fields.

MAGA stalwarts must be wondering why Trump would ever get on board with such a thinly disguised ruse.

Once again, I have to ask, “Who vetted these nominees?”

Seasonal Migrant Workers

The United States allows migrant agricultural workers who come for specific harvests, but return home after the season.  They are primarily overseen by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) which is now run by Lori Chavez DeRemer, a former republican congresswoman.  DeRemer served only one term in congress and lost her reelection bid.  She is a left of center republican who only voted with the constitution 33% of the time.

The Wage and Hour Division (WHD) of the DOL administers and enforces the law under the 1983 Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA).  The act establishes employment standards for migrants. It assures fair and prompt wages, decent housing that meets safety and health standards, safe and insured transportation vehicles, written information for workers about employment terms and conditions as well as requiring employers and contractors to maintain accurate records.

The MSPA requires farm labor contractors to register with the DOL and obtain certificates of registration before engaging in any farm labor contracting.  The employers who use the services of farm labor contractors are required to verify the contractor’s registration status.

There are a number of other federal laws in addition to the MSPA administered by the DOL which provide protections for ag workers.

• The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) establishes minimum wage and child labor standards, although some ag exemptions apply according to the USDA.
• The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) sets safety and health standards for most workers, including those in agriculture.
• The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) includes provisions addressing employment eligibility, verification, and non-discrimination, enforced by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the Department of Justice’s Office of Special Counsel for Immigration Related Unfair Employment Practices, respectively.

Many states have their own specific laws and regulations for farm workers according to the USDA and in these cases, the law setting the higher standard is applied.

The MSPA has was amended in 1986.  It provides the proper protections for these seasonal migrant workers and their families.  It was originally established to address concerns about the treatment and working conditions of these laborers.

The MSPA helps foreign workers and their employers.

The Bracero Program was in effect from 1942-1964 for migrant labor.  Bracero means, “one who uses his arms” or “manual laborer.”  It was an agreement between the US and Mexico which allowed temporary workers from Mexico to assist in agricultural harvesting as well as working in the railroad industry. It provided a large workforce for agriculture, but faced criticism for its treatment of workers.

The H-2A visa program which allows foreign ag workers to come into the U.S. temporarily is essentially the modern-day equivalent of the Bracero program, but with protections for the migrant workers.

Despite the end of the Bracero Program in December of 1964, U.S. growers continued to rely heavily on Mexican migrant workers beyond the 1960s.  Without oversight, exploitation of these workers often occurred, including low wages and exposure to dangerous chemicals.

The 1983 MSPA resulted from public outcry and increased awareness of the difficult conditions faced by migrant workers, including low wages and poor living conditions. The MSPA addressed these issues, for employees, employers and state laws.

Since 1942, we have had seasonal migrant workers who have come to America to help with agricultural harvesting, dairy farmers and ranchers.  H-2A workers must not replace American worker jobs, and the contractors must show that the migrants are needed.

(In the late 70s, my daughter spent her summers in Indiana farm fields de-tasseling

corn with her high school friends.  They were up and out early and didn’t get home until late afternoon. They made good money for their hot and tiring work.)

We have had programs for seasonal foreign agricultural labor for 83 years.  They come and work and when the harvest is over, they go home.  No problem, as long as they are treated fairly and given a decent wage, housing, and are covered with insurance should an accident happen.

Problems arise however, when illegal aliens have crossed the border and are being paid cash under the table.  These employees, whether temporary or permanent, would not be protected under the MSPA.

H-2A workers are allowed to stay employed, but their employment is tied to the specific employer and the temporary nature of the work they are authorized to perform. They are admitted to the U.S. for temporary or seasonal agricultural work and must generally leave after the authorized period of employment, which is usually no longer than one year, but can be extended up to a maximum of three years.

After reaching the 3-year limit, a worker must leave the U.S. for at least 60 days before being eligible to return as an H-2A nonimmigrant.

Larry Wooten of the North Carolina Farm Bureau says many of these workers excel at and care about their jobs and many want to become permanent employees.  If both the employee and employer are in agreement, there should be a way to help them do that without having to leave for 60 days before they can return

American citizenship is an option that should be considered.  Many of these migrants become managers who are extremely valuable to the employer.  There needs to be a way employers can help their employees permanently remain in America and in their employ.

Conclusion

Secretary Rollins must be made to understand that there will be no mass amnesty for those who broke the law and invaded our country. Neither will waves of government-approved cheap foreign labor flowing over the border for agricultural purposes be legalized and given amnesty.

Under President Reagan’s Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986, approximately 2.7 to 3 million people were granted amnesty and approved for permanent residence.  Subsequent executive actions and congressional measures aimed at family reunification impacted a larger number of people by providing protection and a path to potential future legalization for families of those who received amnesty under IRCA.

In 2013, Congressman Steve King (R-IA) spoke to congress.  He said that three million people “received amnesty” under the 1986 law. To that number, he added an additional five people for each newly legalized person, to reflect those legalized under family reunification policies. That meant an additional 15 million people.

The number of foreign agricultural workers, particularly those employed through the H-2A visa program, has been increasing.

Should Secretary Rollins succeed in “legalizing” migrant farm workers, amnesty will once again be granted to many millions.

This is a huge issue that needs to be hammered out in county commissions and state legislatures before the two parties in D.C. get involved.

July 14, 2025

Right now, in Washington DC, we’ve got politicians like Charles Schumer, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Maxine Waters, Cory Booker, Hakeem Jeffries, Ilhan Omar, Jasmine Crockett, Van Hollen, and Rashida Tlaib advocating for violence against America’s police officers. They are advocating for millions of illegal aliens instead of American citizens. They advocate for lawlessness. They urge democrat followers to go out and “get shot and bleed” in order to stop ICE agents from doing their jobs.

It’s beyond comprehension that every one of those vacant-minded, duplicitic and totally out-of-touch-with-reality politicians didn’t speak up once in four years against Biden’s handlers as they encouraged, invited, and supported 12 to 21 million unvetted, criminal, and illiterate illegal aliens to cross our borders. The White House even gave them “Apps” to speed their entry illegally into America.

Never mind the fact that NONE of those senators or House Members honored their oath of office to uphold our U.S. Constitution. U.S. Code 8, Section 1324, 1325, 1326 specifically gives ICE agents the ability to arrest and deport illegal aliens.

Breaking into our country is the same as someone breaking into your home. It’s illegal. It’s criminal. There are no excuses. Our laws provide our safety as citizens to live in our own homes without threat that someone can break into our homes and make us feed, water and provide for them.

And yet, all those aforementioned elected officials support illegal aliens. Then, you drop down to Governors New York’s Kathy Hochul, California’s Gavin Newsom, and Illinois’ J.B. Pritkzer—they are all breaking our laws. Drop further down to Chicago’s Mayor “Intellectually Deficient” Johnson, or NYC’s Mayor Adams, and LA’s Mayor “Moron” Karen Bass—-and you’ve got a bunch of lawless, idiotic, and truly stupid leaders. They’re the same ones that support men competing in women’s sports.

Last week, LA’s Mayor Bass, who watched her city burn down because she set the benchmark for incompetence—promised to pay illegal aliens a stipend to stay in their illegal housing apartments. She should be arrested and prosecuted. Same with Chicago’s Mayor Johnson! Same with NYC’s Mayor Adams. Same with Denver’s Mayor Johnston.

If all that craziness is not enough, we’ve got a Muslim Communist Democrat vying for mayor of New York City. Zohran Mamdani could turn the world’s most capitalistic city into America’s first Muslim Caliphate. First those Muslims destroyed NYC with 9/11, and now, we could see them voting their Muslim brother into the mayorship of New York City. Don’t laugh. It’s already happened to London, England. Mayor Muslim Kahn runs London like a Muslim caliphate because he’s got the numbers. There are more mosques in London than English churches. Tens of thousands of them stick their rear-ends to the sky in the streets of London five times a day. It’s enough to make you sick to your stomach when you see it personally.

Here’s a cartoon: “lslamophobia: The act for practicing knowledge for self-defense from Islam or a Muslim whose prime directive is, ‘Death to America’. Every American should be an educated Islamophob.” Just remember that 9/11 was only one of their first steps into America. It’s U.S. Senators like Charles Schumer who made sure they enjoyed driver’s licenses that gave them full freedom to carry out their deadly plans. Remember Muhammad Atta…and his Muslim brothers.

Here’s another satire cartoon: Daughter asked, “Mommy, why won’t politicians order the release of the Epstein client list?” Mother replied, “Because they are the clients.”

Another cartoon shows Vladimir Putin of Russia: Psychopath—an animal or person possessing an egocentric and antisocial behavior marked by a lack of remorse for one’s actions. An absence of empathy for others. And, often, criminal tendencies.

A psychopath can decimate whole countries, governments, hospitals, families, men, women, children, farms, friends, ships, airplanes—stomp them dead, and have no remorse, shame or guilt—none at all.

That pretty much sums up Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Hamas, Iran’s Muslims, and Putin. And, the rest of the world sat/sits by while they continue their treachery down through history.

What about the fact that our Congress has allowed China to buy up 277,000 acres of our farmland? How do you get to the bottom of that pile of cow manure?

How is it that Democrat Controlled Congress during Biden’s years allowed Medicaid payments for 1.4 million illegal aliens? Those are your tax dollars.

President Thomas Jefferson said, “The first consideration in immigration is the welfare for the receiving nation. In a new government based on principles new to the rest of the world, and resting on the sentiments of the people themselves, the influx of a large number of new immigrants unaccustomed to the government of a free society, could have detrimental to that society. Immigration, therefore, must be approached carefully and cautiously.”

Since there are now somewhere around 80 to 90 million foreign-born people in America, both legally and illegally living within our country…you’re seeing it play out with attacks on ICE, on 287G, on ATF, Border Patrol and within our cities. We’re seeing our own elected officials turning against our laws. If this kind of “elected lawlessness” continues, we could see America reduced to a “Bananas Republic” with no cohesion, patriotism, no single language, no cohesive culture, no dominant religion and now no sense of responsibility to our Constitution.

If that Communist Muslim Mamdani wins the mayorship of New York City, that’s one more step in losing our country to mass immigration.

In the Fall of 2006, I received a most unexpected invitation to travel to Cambridge University in Great Britain and take part in a debate before a 200-year-old debating society called the Cambridge Union. The issue we were to debate – “This House believes that the United Nations is a dead loss!” There was an issue I could easily get behind.

My opponents in the debate included Simon Hughes, a member of Parliament and President of the Liberal Democrats; Lord David Hanney, Former UK Ambassador to the UN; and Salil Shetty, Director of the UN’s Millennium Campaign. The two other debaters that were supposed to be on my side were both pro-UN leftists. So, it was a typical five to one debate.

I was the first speaker and that meant I opened the debate. I said in my opening statement, “The UN’s only answer is government control – and confiscation of individual wealth and property. Nowhere is there mentioned in a single UN document that I have read an advocacy for the right to own private property. In fact, quite the opposite is the case as nearly every UN document, report, working paper, program, treaty, protocol, declaration, and resolution is dedicated to the confiscation, redistribution, regulation, and tax of someone’s private property.”

To tepid applause I ended my opening statement by saying, “The United Nations is not ‘dysfunctional’ as some ‘reformers’ have claimed. It is a criminal enterprise in which no moral nation should participate, let alone perpetuate.”

When it came time for Liberal Democrat, Simon Hughes to address the issue, he got right in my face and said, “I believe in redistribution of wealth!”

Unfortunately, at that time I was not used to the debate format and didn’t directly respond. Basically, I said “whose wealth — yours or theirs – as I pointed to the audience. He ignored me.

But if I were given the chance to repeat the experience today, this is what I would say: People have dreams and plans for their lives — how they want to live, what they want to accomplish. It’s what drives them to move forward. They study, learn, and work toward the goal. And as they begin to achieve it, along comes YOU – the government powermonger boldly declaring, “I’ll take half.”

By what right? What did your government policy contribute by helping them achieve their goals that would grant you the right to take half of everything they have worked to create? When organized crime – the Mafia – takes this exact same action, we arrest them. But, if you wear a government hat – well, its accepted as OK. But in reality, it’s the same theft, the same abuse of power over someone’s life, and it’s all done at the point of a gun! Whether it’s considered legal or not just depends on who is holding the gun!

In the 1960s, some lower-income individuals from Liverpool, England had a dream. But they had to struggle every day to provide for their needs and meet unexpected demands to keep moving forward. To their benefit they had incredible talent and determined motivation to keep going against the odds. They called themselves The Beatles, and as they rose to success and achieved the wealth they had earned completely on their own, the British government declared that up to 90 percent of the Beatles earnings belonged to “the common good,” rather than the individual dreams and goals of The Beatles, who’s talent and drive had independently and legally earned it.

No entity, especially government, deserves to grab 90 percent of anything created by an individual. That’s why George Harrison wrote the song TAXMAN containing the line, “be thankful I don’t take it all.”

After the Cambridge Union debate our hosts held a reception to give the audience a chance to meet and talk with the debate participants. As it turned out, I was the only debater to attend the reception. Apparently being in control of Parliament or being a member of the House of Lords makes you too special to rub elbows with the lower classes whose dreams you intend to redistribute for your own grab for power.

However, I will never forget, as I walked into the reception, the young female Cambridge student who walked up to ask me a question. She asked, “you really don’t believe in redistribution of wealth?” I answered, “No, it’s theft.” She responded, “but if you have more than you need, shouldn’t you share it with others?” I answered, “Why should I?”

This is what she had been taught through the approved curriculum of one of the most prestigious schools in the world. She had no idea how individuals pursuing their dreams created a free society. Involuntary sharing, forced sacrifice, and accepted despair were to be the plight of the masses in the collective planned by the redistributing elites. And that’s the redistribution of wealth in which Simon Hughes so passionately worked to enforce on his subjects.

I began to explain to her the ideals of free enterprise controlled by individual choice in order to guarantee quality. The free market is the root of innovation and progress. I told her how private property ownership is the most powerful source of individual freedom. It’s the means for individuals to build their personal wealth. Moreover, if you don’t have your own property to stand on, how do you have the power of free speech?

I asked her if she had dreams for her life. She said of course she did. And I asked, will you achieve them through a government committee? She looked at me with a puzzled look. I explained, “only you know what interests you, what drives you to get up in the morning and push forward to your dream. While your dream motivates you, the government simply doesn’t care.”

As I went through these details, more than fifty others attending the reception began to gather around and listen. Some asked questions. More conversations broke out among them. I smiled as I noted that right there in the middle of Merry Olde England, the ideals of John Locke and Thomas Jefferson were being debated.

Finally, my young student said, “What an interesting point of view. How can I learn more.” I suggested that she read the works of free-market economists like Milton Freedman and Hernando DeSoto. And if she wanted to understand the fate of freedom lovers who found the moral strength to overcome the darkness and suffering as they were forced to live under government tyranny, I provided examples. These included the works of Russian writer Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and his book The Gulag Archipelago. In addition, I recommended the tiny little book by Ayn Rand called Anthem which in fictional form clearly demonstrates the dangers of governments erasing the history of previous cultures, or controlling every action of individuals, right down to eliminating individuality by replacing their names with government issued numbers.  Each of these examples counter economic policies and controls over individuals as they are currently being pursued by the United Nations.

As I finished, seeing her intent interest and the positive reaction of those gathered around, I knew at that moment that I had won the debate!

July 13, 2025

As I go about my business around town and to various parts of the state and the country, everything looks so very different from the America I knew as a kid and young adult.  Everywhere I go, people look weird.  Girls in their early 20s with bright pink, green, purple or blue hair, have half their heads shaved, or their bangs cut straight across in a “bowl” cut that would have been embarrassingly ugly for even boys to have to wear when I was a kid.

And, a majority of the people I see now, especially younger people, are covered in tattoos.  Many have their noses pierced, their faces and tongues pierced, and the style of clothing for young women today confuses me. It’s as if they either want to show as much skin as possible, even in cold weather, or they dress like vagabonds, having obtained their wardrobe from a Goodwill dumpster.  It’s as if they want to look as unattractive as possible when they go out in public.

It’s equally sad to see young men these days.  Today I saw a guy in his early 20s walking through a parking lot on his way to his car.  He had long, dark hair and a full beard.  He didn’t appear to be homosexual in any way, but he was wearing two large hoop earrings, blue jeans that were torn to shreds, and an expensive leather jacket.  And then he jumped into his car and immediately there was the sound of explosive booming bass notes that rattled your teeth and vulgar, filthy lyrics of some sort of “rap” song as his car left the parking lot.  You could still hear the “thump, thump, thump” of the bass as he merged into traffic and sped away.

And recently, I was in a convenience store where the clerk looked completely, 100% “male,” there was no doubt he was a male.  But why, then, was he wearing bright red nail polish on his fingers?

I understand that young people always go through a rebellious streak, always want to stand out in a crowd, always want to be counter-cultural.  But this weirdness really isn’t counter-cultural anymore. It’s become the norm.  Even the “rebels” of the 1970s could still be easily identified as male or female.  If blue jeans got torn, you fixed them.  You didn’t pay extra to buy them that way.

But now we live in an age of extreme narcissism.  People are addicted to their phones and social media. In their minds, they derive their value as human beings by the number of followers they have.  Recently, I heard that the number one thing high-school age kids want to be now when they grow up is a “social media influencer,” making ridiculous, nonsensical videos and posting them on Tik Tok, where I guess you get paid for doing so, if you get enough followers.  But the content I’m talking about has nothing to do with anything of substance they might share online. Instead, they do silly dance routines, sometimes dangerous “stunts,” which they set forth as challenges to others, and always, the focus is on them.

Boys and girls, young men and women — both — are now taking endless “selfies” and pictures of themselves and posting them on their social media sites, shouting “look at me, look at me….look what I did now!  Check out my latest over-the-top, outragous hair and makeup style!”

I think back to even earlier days.  When my Dad was 17 years old, he was on the other side of the world, fighting the enemy in the South Pacific in World War 2.  By the time I was 17 years old, I dare say I’d already accomplished more in my life than today’s 40-year-olds.  What are 17-year-olds doing now?  I’m not saying there aren’t any good, responsible kids out there, but by and large, we’ve become a nation of lazy, under-achieving, self-centered, Godless idiots.

You might think it does no good to look back at the past and long for the “good old days,” because the “good old days” were never really as good as we remember them when we’re old.  But in this case, our society and culture has fallen so far, and become so depraved, I have to say, they really were pretty good, even though they weren’t perfect.

Most people still worked hard to make a living, provide for their families, and improve their skills, and thus their position in the workplace.  We had skilled workers, American companies on the cutting edge of innovation.  To be perpetually unemployed was a shameful thing. To be unemployed because of a self-induced “disability” was unheard of.  Obesity was also shameful, as was drug and alcohol abuse.  These things weren’t “illnesses,” as much as they were the result of irresponsibility, weakness and an unwillingness to be a productive citizen.

Today, we have young people obtaining worthless degrees, at a cost of more than $50,000 a year. And after four years of college, they graduate with a degree they’ll never use — because there really isn’t a job for someone with a degree in 17th century lesbian poetry — so they move back in with Mom and Dad indefinitely, with no plans for the future, except to play video games, post videos on social media, party with their friends, and get dragged into the drug scene, now with legal “pot” in at least 23 states, and an epidemic of Meth and Fentanyl use.

And today, we have a full 50% of American citizens that are morbidly obese.  I should note that it was in the late 1980s that GMO or “genetically modified organisms” were introduced into our food supply.  When I watched “Gilligan’s Island” as a kid, there was no question that the “Skipper” was fat.  Now he looks relatively thin, compared to most Americans.  Times have changed, and so have we, as a people.

I remember the 4th of July as a highly patriotic time.  Parades were led by our military veterans, and when they came past, everyone took off their hats, stood up and applauded them for their service to our country.  This past 4th of July, there were noticeably fewer veterans in the parade; less than half the people stood up when they marched past, and even fewer bothered to applaud.  Most were there for the free candy.  This last parade was noticeably smaller than in previous years as well. I remember when the whole town would turn out for the parade.  Now, I’d say attendance is less than half. How long before towns no longer even bother with it?

Looking back, I can see the Leftist indoctrination creeping into the small public school I attended, and it came through our “Weekly Readers” put out by Scholastic Books.  These were pamphlets with some current event stories and opinion pieces, which we were to read and discuss in class.  Back then, they were warning us of a coming Ice Age by the year 2000.

I also remember reading about how, in the future, much of the work would be done by computers and robots, and the teacher led the discussion on: “with computers and robots doing most of the work, what do you think people will do?” The consensus then was it would leave much more time for relaxation and recreation.  Maybe they got that one right.  Because today, we have a lot more people doing a lot less work, but that’s not a good thing.  Relaxation has become slothfulness and recreation has become largely “recreational drugs” and unbridled, perverted sex.

In the 1980s, the big call was for “Just Say No” to drugs. It was in every TV commercial break. We saw it on billboards and ads in magazines. “Just Say No.”  An admonition to stay away from illegal street drugs.  Remember seeing a picture of a cracked egg in a pan and the voiceover saying, “This is your brain.” Then a fried egg and the words, “This is your brain on drugs — any questions?” 

Not coincidentally, it was then that Big Pharma began ramping up production of all kinds of prescription drugs. It was also in the 1980s that the FDA began allowing direct-to-consumer advertising of these prescription drugs.  Now today, you can’t turn on any television program without hearing the words “Ask your doctor if this drug is right for you.”  And virtually every newscast is now proudly “brought to you by Pfizer.”

A majority of these new drugs are supposedly for anxiety and depression, and a majority of Americans now suffer with anxiety and depression and are eager to get some sort of miracle pill that will make them feel better.  Few realize the side effects of these things are actually the worsening of anxiety and depression, and almost all of them list one of the main side effects as “increased thoughts of suicide.”

These drugs have so many people dumbed down that they can’t function in society.  Many have doctors’ notes declaring them “disabled” because of their depression.  So, they sit home, lethargically watching 24/7 television programming — or should I say, “brainwashing,” while consuming copious amounts of GMO snack foods, creating obesity and the myriad of additional illnesses those GMOs bring with them. So, they go see the doctor and get even more Rx meds, and the cycle continues.  A recent study has shown that many of these anti-anxiety and anti-depression drugs do nothing — I repeat, NOTHING — to ease anxiety or depression.  The same study showed that physical activity is the best remedy for these things. Exercise, hard work, fresh air.  But the couch is so much more appealing.

We’re now at a place where this so-called “lifestyle” has become multi-generational.  Parents living on welfare, having kids who think the welfare lifestyle is normal, consuming poisonous so-called “foods,” and loading up on drugs that will never kill their ills.  And so it seems very few are left in this country that are even able to think anymore, if they’d be willing to do the work to think for themselves in the first place.  Fat, lazy, complacent, obedient slaves of the almighty State.  But they’re not happy.  They’re miserable.

Victims of the public education indoctrination establishment blindly follow their “leaders.” And now their leaders are pushing all manner of radical Leftist ideologies.  “Climate Change” has become one of the most useful tools to control us.  Remember, any time you hear the words “sustainable,” “renewable,” or “green,” you can go ahead and replace those words with “controllable.” Because that’s what the “Climate Change” is all about.  Those pushing for us to live in 15-minute “SMART” cities, submit to Artificial Intelligence and 24/7 tracking, take endless DNA-altering jabs and eat bugs and worms, would never relinquish their private jets and limousines.  Don’t people see that?  Don’t they understand that every so-called “law” Congress passes is imposed upon the citizens, but the lawmakers always exempt themselves from the same punishments?

Now we have young people pushing for all things “Green,” banning conservative speech on college campuses and rallying in support of terrorists, while questioning their own genders and becoming prideful allies of the LGBTQP+ agenda, many who now only aspire to being “social media influencers.”  We live in a sick society, addicted to many things, none of them good. Including all the phones and screens.

You want to be “Green” and save the planet? Get back to nature and go plant and maintain a garden by the sweat of your own brow.  Electric cars cause more harm to the Earth than our gas and diesel vehicles ever could, now cleaner-running than they’ve ever been. Our factories — what’s left of them — are now cleaner for the environment than any time in history too.

And if you want to be “radical,” or “counter-cultural,” — should I say “set apart” from the crowd — how about studying the Word of God and becoming a disciple of Jesus Christ?  Learn the history your teachers have hidden from you.  Get equipped for the work of the ministry. Be a Christ-follower.  Pray for someone or say the name “Jesus” in public.  Young people, that’s more radical and counter-cultural than your purple hair and ripped jeans will ever be.  Make your life count for something, and make it all about Jesus, not about you. You still won’t save the world, but you’ll at least save some souls.  Being angry, hating America and God is definitely not working for  you.  And as a true Christ-following “radical” Christian, you’ll also have the peace that passes all understanding, and an eternal home with your loving Creator.

The Economic Imperative for Nuclear Power

Electricity from nuclear power sources is a necessity to ensure future balanced economic growth that is a lifeline out of poverty and instability for citizens in both developed and developing economies.

In an increasingly electricity-hungry world, nuclear power stands out as a cornerstone for sustainable economic growth, particularly for developing economies like South Africa. This article explores the economic rationale behind nuclear power adoption for electricity, emphasizing the Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR) and Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technologies as a catalyst for industrial and economic growth that is a lifeline out of poverty and instability.

Countries with fossil fuels should continue to use electricity available from High-Efficiency Low Emissions (HELE) coal, oil, and gas power sources in conjunction with nuclear power to achieve a balanced output and maximise economic growth.  Drawing from detailed economic research performed over decades, we highlight why electricity from nuclear is essential for economic stability, job creation, and global competitiveness.

The Urgent Need for Reliable Electricity

In a world where reliable and sustainable electricity sources are crucial, poorer developing countries are spearheading the shift towards nuclear power.  The transition to nuclear power generation is driven by the need for dependable, emissions-free electricity to meet the growing demand, particularly highlighted by the increasing requirements of data centres and AI globally. Both electricity and technology are vital for the inevitable transition towards more efficient human systems.

Electricity sources like solar and wind suffer from intermittency, requiring 100% backup capacity, which undermines their reliability. Nuclear power, however, offers a stable, dispatchable, and low-emission alternative, making it a critical component of a balanced electricity mix alongside High-Efficiency Low-Emissions (HELE) coal.

For South Africa, a nation battling unemployment (over 30%) and poverty (affecting 55% of its population), electricity choices are economic choices.

According to the latest Quarterly Labour Force Survey released by Statistics South Africa for Q1:2025, young people aged 15 to 34 make up roughly 50.2% of South Africa’s working-age population, translating to approximately 20,9 million individuals. Within this cohort, the 15-24 age group—representing around 10,3 million individuals—face the highest barriers to entering the workforce, with unemployment figures significantly outpacing that of older youth.

The challenges facing young South Africans in the employment space are not new, but they are trending negatively in many cases. Over the past ten years, youth unemployment has remained persistently high.

The research reveals as a matter of fact, that nuclear power will drive industrial growth, particularly in electricity-intensive sectors like mining and manufacturing, which are vital to GDP.

By 2035, nuclear projects could contribute R39 billion annually to South Africa’s GDP (0.6%), rising to R74 billion by 2045 (1.1%), highlighting its long-term economic potential.

Economic Trends and Global Context

On May 23, 2025, President Trump issued four executive orders as part of the administration’s effort to quadruple U.S. nuclear generating capacity by 2050, promote deployment of advanced nuclear technologies, build out nuclear fuel supply chains, expedite the licensing process, and increase U.S. nuclear exports. The UK has also announced that Rolls Royce SMR has been chosen as the preferred bidder for the UK SMR expansion.

With the global shift towards cleaner technologies, nuclear power generated electricity is gaining market share as countries seek to decarbonize while ensuring electricity. For South Africa, this presents an opportunity to attract foreign direct investment (FDI), which is crucial for economic growth. A robust nuclear sector will reduce perceived investment risks, positioning the country as a leader in modular reactor technology, which is where it started. South Africa was the first country in the world to invest in the commercialization of SMRs and has invested substantially in decades of completed R&D, both through the government and within the private sector.

Globalization demands electricity solutions that are efficient, sustainable, and competitive. Nuclear generated electricity aligns with this trend, offering a reliable baseload power source with a minimal environmental footprint compared to other electricity generation technologies.

Sectoral analysis reveals that nuclear power supports key industries. Mining, contributing 8% to GDP, and manufacturing, at 13%, require consistent power that wind and solar cannot provide. Nuclear projects will stimulate related sectors, such as construction and engineering, creating a multiplier effect across the economy that will, through ripple effects, catalyze prosperity and the much needed GDP growth in an economy struggling with 0,1% GPD growth and 0,2% population growth.

Policy Implications and Economic Significance

Effective electricity policies are pivotal. Pricing must reflect true costs, including environmental externalities, rather than relying on government subsidies that distort markets. Nuclear power’s low operational costs and high efficiency offer a sustainable model where electricity generation can be accurately predicted over a long period, providing a springboard for truly sustainable economic growth. Moreover, it will significantly enhance the balance of payments, a chronic issue for South Africa due to its reliance on imported energy technologies.

By leveraging domestic uranium reserves and PBMR/SMR innovations like the HTMR-100, the country could reduce imports, projecting an annual surplus of R8 billion on the current account by 2045.

FDI and skills development are additional benefits, as nuclear projects require a skilled workforce, addressing South Africa’s skills gap and fostering long-term economic resilience. The construction phase alone will create over 33,000 direct jobs and 154,000 indirect jobs within a decade, supporting over a million dependents through the dependency ratio.

Moving Forward for a Resilient Future

Most developing and emerging economies have a dilemma.  On the one hand, there is intense global political and social pressure to limit their emissions of Carbon and Greenhouse gases (GHG); on the other hand, they face high unemployment and poverty levels. Every country needs to assess its economic and social needs.

Nuclear generated electricity, particularly SMR technology, is an economic imperative for South Africa, offering a reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly solution. Its adoption will drive GDP growth, create jobs, and enhance economic sovereignty, setting the stage for a sustainable future.

Backed by rigorous analysis and expert insights, our report reveals a clear path to sustained economic growth and job creation through strategic investment in nuclear power, offering investors a stable, long-term opportunity in a sector poised to drive South Africa’s electricity security and industrial competitiveness.

All countries need to pursue reliable, efficient, environmentally friendly electricity sources capable of generating and distributing dispatchable electricity to their industry and citizens. Nuclear generated electricity is undeniably the most reliable, cleanest and most sustainable way to do this.

The Parasitic Super-Rich Ruling Class (PSRRC) has been actively stealing from the people and attempting to control our government since its founding. But their Coup in 1913 was the nefarious beginning of the end of our freedoms and our Constitutional Republic.

The PSRRC started digging our grave with four consecutive tools in the Coup of 1913. These started with the ratification’s of the 16th and 17th Amendments, authorizing income taxes and direct voting for Senators. The newly-formed IRS then authorized Tax-Free Foundations. The Congress passed another unconstitutional law in 1913 authorizing the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank as the last nail in the coffin.

Now let’s look at the four pillars of our destruction in more detail: !. Income Taxes, 2.Direct Voting for Senators, 3. Tax- Free Foundations and 4.the privately-owned Federal Reserve Bank.

The Federal Reserve Bank and its branches are unconstitutional and privately-owned. This Bank is the single greatest threat to our freedoms and prosperity. It is generally accepted that those who control the money supply (and you surely know who they are!), control the country, regardless of election results.

The Federal Reserve Bank’s Power to print fiat currency allows them to finance wars for profit and other government boondoggles for the benefit of the PSRRC at the expense of the public.

The bank prints unconstitutional fiat money out of thin air to buy government bonds to finance government deficits, which exceed 37 trillion dollars. To the extent that this fiat money exceeds production of goods and services, it is also inflationary.

Our Constitution requires the use of gold and silver for currency. The Federal Reserve unlawfully prints fiat dollars because they can’t create gold and silver to finance wars for profit or fund Communist cities. The Federal Reserve has the power to expand and contract fiat currency, causing inflation and depression, which in turn causes redistribution of wealth to the PSRRC. They could not do this with gold and silver lawful money.

The Second Pillar for the demise of our Republic was the 17th Amendment that allowed Senators to be elected rather than appointed by state legislatures. The result was that states and the people lost their voice in the Senate  and gave it to big money, the PSRRC.

The Third Pillar was Tax-Free Foundations enabled by the new IRS. This allowed the wealthy to retain the power of their money, with strings, thru eternity. This gave them additional  power to control corporations with control of additional stock.

These four Pillars were the foundation for the gradual cumulative destruction of our Constitutional Republic over the last 112 years.

We must remember that the Media is mostly owned or controlled by the PSRRC. The media, along with the educational system, brainwashed much of the population and were especially effective among the ill-educated in the Communist inner cities.

The end result is an all-powerful corrupt Federal Establishment, half of which is a Criminal Enterprise because of its usurped powers rightfully belonging to the states. The federal income tax was the key, because it gave the Federal Establishment all the money needed to fund usurped state functions, concentrating all power in Washington DC.

The Federal Income Tax reversed the Constitutional relationship between the States and the Federal Establishment. Constitutionally, each state is in fact a Sovereign Government. The Federal Establishment is not a Sovereign Government and has very limited powers under its creation document crafted by the several states, the US Constitution. The Income Tax unlawfully gave the federal establishment the money to usurp and control state functions.

Democrat politicians, leaders and funders are simply promoting a Communist agenda. Their power is centered in the Communist cities where unconstitutional federal funding of able-bodied Communists and illegal invaders is the rule. If this continues with tax money extorted from working people, there will be Civil War,  It is inevitable.

I don’t see how any Democrat can be reelected if people are informed, when every last Democrat voted against massive tax cuts for the average person. I am well-aware that this latest bill does not reduce the deficit, but we must pray that Trump’s great vision comes to fruition…otherwise we are doomed.

I have written on the specifics of the unlawful existence and actions of federal agencies and departments in the past, and will do so again. But, I leave you with this thought:

Any unlawful functions or actions not under the Constitution are null and void, and President Trump can (and should!) cancel them with the stroke of his pen. That is, of course, if the PSRRC and their minions in government don’t kill him as it is alleged that they did to the Kennedy Brothers and so many others who oppose their criminality against the people.

Peace is breaking out all over, except in Europe, where Vladimir Putin is continuing to wage war on Ukraine, and Europe is bracing for more Russian aggression. President Trump’s hope for a Nobel Peace Prize is being dashed by Putin’s desire to make the American president look like a fool for trusting his commitment to “peace.”

The only ones looking more foolish are those in the MAGA movement who depicted Putin as an innocent victim of the New World Order and somehow provoked into his invasion of Ukraine. These people, like Stephen K. Bannon and Tucker Carlson, were under the sway of Putin’s brain, the Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin.

We just learned that Trump, during his first term, had threatened to bomb Russia if he invaded Ukraine, “With Putin, I said, ‘If you go into Ukraine, I’m going to bomb the s–t out of Moscow,’” Trump was heard saying on a recording. “He said ‘No way,’ and I said, ‘Way.’ And then he goes, ‘I don’t believe you,’ but the truth is, he believed me 10 percent,” Trump added.

Putin didn’t invade during Trump’s first term and waited until Joe Biden took office, and the war continues under Trump the peacemaker.

Having been re-elected, Trump now seems to finally recognize that Putin is a killer who spouts disinformation and can’t be trusted and that the only way to deal with the “former” KGB officer is through brute force.

President Trump has been humiliated by Vladimir Putin by insisting for months that Russia wanted to settle the war.

Trump should have read our 2014 book, Back from the Dead: The Return of the Evil Empire.

If President Trump has been correct about Fed chief Jerome “Jay” Powell’s “too late” approach to economic problems, what should we say about the president’s “too late” approach in recognizing the dangers of Vladimir Putin? It is a major miscalculation that threatens his Nobel Peace Prize.

Trump’s patience may now be coming to an end because, at Tuesday’s cabinet meeting, he accused the Russian dictator of spreading “bull—-” about the war against Ukraine. Trump said Putin seemed “nice” during their talks but that his overtures for peace were “meaningless” because he only wants more war.

Trump said he approved more “defensive” weapons for the beleaguered former Soviet republic, which was guaranteed independence and territorial integrity in the 1994 Budapest Memorandum that was signed by Russia.

Defensive weapons are a good start, but Ukraine needs much more. We must balance this, of course, with our own defense needs. But saving Ukraine benefits the United States.

The American revolution wouldn’t have succeeded without the military support of France.

Why has Trump been “too late” on Russia? It’s because some in the MAGA movement, like Stephen K. Bannon and Tucker Carlson, had convinced Trump that the U.S. could get along with Russia. Hence, Trump said he would have the war against Ukraine settled on “Day One.”

Trump now understands that the “art of the deal” doesn’t apply to communists. If he can call Zohran Mamdani a communist, perhaps he has finally understood that Putin never gave up his communist credentials.  

The entire line-up on the Real America’s Voice network that features Bannon’s “War Room” show has been wrong about Russia because the hosts take their orders and cue from Bannon. The channel seems more like Russia Today.

Karen Siegemund, president of the American Freedom Alliance, has even honored Bannon with major speaking gigs and put Bannon on her advisory board. Bannon has also appeared under the auspices of Hillsdale College.

Bannon is receiving a “Hero of Conscience” award from Siegemund in September.

Referring to his incarceration, Siegemund says, “Steve Bannon is obviously one of those being silenced due to his effectiveness in standing up to tyranny, to the Marxist-Globalist-anti-American, anti-freedom forces and entities and who gives voice to all who feel similarly.  His War Room show is a premiere source for information and a platform for activists, for authors and speakers and analysts and all those fighting, in some way, for the freedoms that are emblematic of this nation.”

This is complete nonsense. Bannon refused to testify before the Democratic Party-controlled J6 committee and was convicted by a jury of contempt. As a private citizen, Bannon claimed executive privilege, without Trump’s authority to do so, and he went to prison. An appeals court upheld the conviction.

He also pleaded guilty to defrauding New Yorkers who donated to his “We Build the Wall” border security scheme.

The problem with Siegemund’s analysis of Bannon’s opposition to “globalist” anti-freedom forces is that it is dangerously misleading, if not false. He never opposed Putin’s aggression by supporting Ukraine. His position was that the U.S. should collaborate with Russia, supposedly to counter China. Instead, China and North Korea came to the aid of Russia, expanding the war and the threat to Europe.

As a result, NATO chief Mark Rutte is now predicting that China could start a third World War by trying to invade Taiwan, while Putin would attack NATO.

Bannon’s mistakes in that congressional case pale in comparison with the mistakes he and Trump made on Russia. Indeed, Trump’s “mistakes” in dealing with Putin are worse than Powell’s economic malpractice on inflation and interest rates.

Hopefully, Trump has learned a major lesson. He can’t trust certain people in the MAGA movement.

Years ago we published “The Big Lie Driving Russian Influence in the Conservative Movement and the Destruction of Ukraine,” analyzing this dangerous tendency in MAGA. It’s important for responsible conservatives to reject Bannon, Tucker, and their ilk.

I don’t expect any applause for being right about Russia from those who joined Bannon, Tucker, and Trump in being wrong about the evil intentions of Vladimir Putin. But at least they should recognize that their leader, Trump, has made an about-face and has had a wake-up call.

Let those who were in Putin’s corner and still defend him resign in disgrace.

Please, Ms. Siegemund, withdraw that award for Bannon and commit your organization to American freedom from communism.

We in the Estados Unidos are literally supporting both the peasants and the politicos south of the Rio Grande, and the folks down there think it is just grand. We in America have become the cash cow that continues to be milked for – and of – all we’re worth and that’s not even considering those States such as California that used to belong to Mexico but are now a permanent burden on the rest of the nation. So far, Americans have cowered in fear even though we’ve had the ability to overpower the forces perpetrating this extraction of our wealth. Today, we continue to feed the coffers of countries South of the border via numerous subsidies, foreign aid and absorbing into our culture and economy the increasing masses of migrants via welfare programs and other “disbursements.” What’s not usually either noticed or commented upon is the much larger movement of money flowing southward via what are termed “remittances;” that is, payments by family members (legal or otherwise) living in the US to family members remaining south of the border.

Mexico has enjoyed exceedingly low unemployment rates for years and this is not only because untold numbers of US manufacturing jobs have been outsourced south, but because Mexico encourages its unemployed and poverty-stricken peasants to sneak into the US where they will find a means of “earning a living.” This serves many purposes: first, it allows Mexico to retain its low unemployment stats; second, it saves the Mexican government loads of dough when it comes to social welfare programs, and, finally, in terms of crime and discontent, Mexico is able to move its rowdy rabble over our border where the Mexican drug lords easily recruit “mules” to transport large quantities of illegal drugs into the States. Of course, the US is forced to deal with the crime these hordes bring with them once they are here. There is also an inordinately large amount of human trafficking embedded in these flows. The same scenarios apply to the Central and South American migrants. The benefits of this one- way flow of people are too beautiful and bountiful for the bandidos to ignore. Under Biden, this parasitic project was purposefully promoted, reaching historic levels.

Recently, the newly anointed/installed socialist president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum appears to have threatened the US because we have been “making noises” over a proposed tax on these remittances. A proposed 3% tax on these remittances has been increasingly bandied about, with a few lawmakers even suggesting a much larger 15% tax. In response, Scheinbaum has actually threatened that Mexicans in the US would “mobilize” in reaction to any fees. And as we have seen with recent Los Angeles riots, this threat is not idle though we have also seen that the unresponsive Biden Administration is no longer in place allowing us to be thus blackmailed. Indeed, President Trump might actually enjoy showing Ms. Sheinbaum that America is no longer the hemisphere’s doormat!

Financially, Mexico received over $65 billion in remittances in 2024. In other words, the Mexican economy enjoys a boost of over $65 billion a year just by encouraging illegals to cross the border. To put this in proper perspective, Mexico’s entire social welfare budget in 2024 was $30 billion, or about half of what the country gets in remittances from the US. Mexico’s tourism industry generated about $32 billion annually – again about half of what these remittances generate.

We must also keep in mind that a dollar buys much more in Mexico than it does in the US. The median price of a 3-bedroom home in the US is $320,000, whereas in Mexico such a home would go for $100,000 or less. This is yet another reason illegals rush across the border as even when they are working for 30% less in wages, they still triple the buying power or more of their money in their home country when they wire those dollars back home. Panic and protests among the Mexican and other peasants here is thus a certainty if a tax on remittances is established though Americans can take some comfort in knowing that we no longer have a “push-over” federal government in these matters.

Finally, when we consider matters other than the ill-gotten money obtained by the illegals here, it is obvious that the massive numbers of such illegals remaining in the country cause increases in demands for goods, services, and housing quite apart from the strain on our legal system, police, jails, prisons etc. When you add to this the massive welfare payments these masses receive, you have the recipe for runaway inflation and the deterioration of our nation’s culture and way of life.

Usually, in most international “arrangements,” each side gains something even if one side does better in the bargain. However, our present “arrangement” with Mexico and the rest of Central America is entirely one sided, and we Americans are not the winners.

The subjects on NWV are generally focused on politics, war, energy, borders, economics, religion and so on. All of these are important and I read the NWV articles daily because the authors are so sincere and I find what is written to be interesting.

The purpose of this writing is to emphasize what I have found to be as the title states. I do not know just the mechanism of YouTube as far as how people make videos and are paid for their efforts. So far I have only uploaded two you tube videos. The most recent called Boat Load Of Dogs. The first was done several years ago when I was attempting to save the life of a dear friend that had been caught up in the system. It was up for only two hours before it was take down. Sadly my friend was murdered by hospice in spite of my efforts.

I have been so surprised at the amount of YouTube videos that I have found that have shown me how to do something. The topics are a broad spectrum of interests. I have found that surfing YouTube is much more satisfying than the drivel called movies these days. What caused me to write this was the awesome efforts of a number of YouTubers that I have watched. I have found several Channels that I turn to frequently.

I will list some of the ones that I have been impressed with.

The first is Matts Off Road Recovery. It was not recommended to me and I am not sure how I found it but it has proven to be tremendously entertaining. The series of videos follows the family and friends of Matt Wetzel and his wife Jaymie who live in Southern Utah. They have four boys who are featured on the videos.

In the past Matt has had various occupations such as roofing. He had the opportunity to buy a tow company and it has developed into the present operation. They have brought together may individuals with varied talents and have used cameras such as GoPro to document what they are doing.

They have posted many videos of various recoveries in some precarious situations. Some as simple as pulling someone out of the sand to others that have gone off of a mountain trail and rolled way down the mountain. They have fabricated a number of vehicles that have wenches and 4 wheel drive capabilities. I have been shocked with the terrain that the vehicles have been taken over.

Matt has a bubbly personality and likes to laugh and sing. Jaymie is a perfect match for him and is soft-spoken and supportive of Matt. They have proven to be so generous to friends and families giving vehicles away, rebuilding an old Suzuki 4 wheel drive vehicle that was abandoned years ago and given to Ed who lives on the premises.

Matt really likes Corvairs. He had one as a kid and has acquired numerous Corvairs and Corsair parts. In one episode Matt had found a Corvair on line that he wanted to purchase.

Jaymie was sitting beside him when he was talking to the seller on the phone. Matt was saddened to find out that the vehicle had been sold earlier in the day. He got off the phone and exclaimed, “well you win some and you lose some.” With that, having a broad grin on her face Jaymie slid the bill of sale for the Corsair over to Matt, and he realized that she had bought the car for him. This is what is so emotionally satisfying with their lives.

A great deal of time is spent building and fixing vehicles. For those who lack the ability to do it themselves it will prove satisfying.

In another episode they gave a late model Bronco to an employee. The effort they went to was so uplifting.

They have also been active in community outreach projects.

The videos have featured two young ladies that have provided sunshine to the productions, Lizzy initially and Katelynn more recently. Katelynn is always smiling and laughing. I am so impressed with the quality of the productions that are making that I was moved to share my thoughts. If you tune in, I promise you will be hooked. I am so thankful for their efforts.

The other frequently watched productions are Steve’s Small Engine Saloon. Steve lives in Canada and loves to drink beer. He produces very informative programs to help take care and repair of chain saws and other gas powered machines. I have taken his advice and purchased several items that have helped me in my shop. Down in Arkansas is a very unusual woman named Brea. There are very few female mechanics.

She has the channel called Chicanic and like Steve, works on small engines. She is very knowledgeable and has shared lots of tips on taking care of and fixing small engines. I have purchased a number of items she has recommended.

One of the things about her that tickles me is the excitement that she demonstrates once she gets a machine running properly.

I am sure that you will appreciate her nature and find her productions interesting.

Next is Patata, she is married to James and lives in Eastern Tennessee. Her site is Appalachians Homestead. She has been making videos for over ten years. Usually putting out several a week. She is very talented in pointing out how things have gone haywire and makes suggestions on how to improve life. She is a Christian and oftentimes her videos have a religious theme.

I am very proud of the next individual that I have known for over 50 years. Jim Burr lives in Evergreen, Colorado. I first met him at the SDA church in Arvada, Colorado.

He had moved to Arvada from California, where he was a teacher for RCA in the field of electronics. Jim started Jim’s Mobile TV service and traveled around the Denver area fixing televisions before flat panel TV’s were developed. He was always looking to give the customer the best value he could. He decided to carry a number of Magnavox televisions in has van and when the cost of repair was not reasonable he would sell them a new TV and haul the old TV away.

Jim is one of the smartest persons I have ever met. He would be classified as a genius, having built windmills to produce electricity for example. He then developed an interest in astronomy and started building telescopes. His latest invention is a binocular telescope that is awesome.

He realized that there are many companies manufacturing telescopes but the cases were lacking. He decided to learn how to make injected molded cases for telescopes and it turned into a big factory.

You will enjoy watching Jim on his site Heavens Declare. Jim is a devout Christian and brings the study of the stars and planets into the mix of the wondrous power of God. Hopefully you will enjoy watching the videos that I have recommended.

It’s time for AG Bondi to impanel a Special Grand Jury to review the evidence now made public regarding a clear conspiracy to destroy, control and overthrow a duly elected President of the United States, and issue appropriate criminal indictments for all of them!

The key active participants named in the treasonous conspiracy are as follows…

• Barack Hussein Obama
• Hillary Clinton
• John Brennen
• James Clapper
• Robert Mueller
• James Comey
• Merrick Garland
• Christopher Steele

“The ICA, which was ordered by President Barack Obama, was rushed to completion just days before Trump’s inauguration. Brennan directed its composition and handpicked the analysts who compiled the ersatz information. To stifle dissent, 13 other key intelligence agencies were deliberately excluded. To put it bluntly, Trump was set up.”

As I have stated for years now…there is no “draining the swamp” from the bottom up. The only way this deep and wide swamp can be drained is from the TOP down…

Evidence of this treasonous conspiracy now made public opens the door to proceed to prosecutions of the same evidence and individuals exposed in the FBI Director Kash Patel documentary, Government Gangsters. The evidence also proves that the fake dossier by Christopher Steele was commissioned and paid for by the Hillary Clinton Campaign.

BRYAN DEAN WRIGHT: John Brennan was my boss at the CIA. He belongs in prison

“ordered by then-President Barack Obama and executed by Brennan – ignited the Trump-Russia hoax that would haunt Trump’s presidency for four years.”

“The collusion narrative was a conspiracy itself. The collaborators knew it was a lie, but they manipulated the dossier and the ICA to peddle their fairy tale. With Hillary and her confederates, they engineered the hoax. Brennan even accused Trump of treason.”

“Unless those who unscrupulously weaponized their immense power for political purposes are held to account, it will happen again. And again. The only remedy for lawlessness is justice. The reckoning awaits.”

It’s good that what many of us knew to be a fact years ago, is now made public for everyone to know…but unless the eight people named above face criminal indictment and prosecution for their treasonous actions, this type of evil political activities will remain “the norm” for American politics forever!

NOTE: This has nothing to do with political vengeance. It has everything to do with real Justice and protecting our Constitutional Republic. Yes, I’m aware of the hell this might unleash in the country as evil people already burning our cities might react to the carriage of justice here. But I’m also aware of the hell on earth this country will fast become if treason like this is never brought to justice!

Webster’s defines secular as:  Pertaining to the present world, or to things not spiritual or holy; relating to things not immediately or primarily respecting the soul, but the body; worldly.

The Apostle Paul called it “a form of godliness denying the power thereof…”  In fact, he considered it so damaging that he exhorted believers that from such turn away.

Just a warning…this will not be a feel-good article.  If you’re an Evanjellyfish you might want to stop reading right now.

By the way, for those of you in the back row, an Evanjellyfish is a Christian without a backbone.  Most American churches are populated with them.  They are the mutant children produced by the false prosperity gospel.  You know…the name it and claim it crew with the big church and the media-star pastor.

(I warned you.  It’s not too late to quit reading.)

Christianity is not a religion.  Islam is a religion.  So is Buddhism…and Confuscianism…Humanism…Republicanism…

Mr. Webster defined religion as “performance of the duties we owe directly to God, from a principle of obedience to his will.”

Christianity is different from the scores of “religions” in the world in that it is the only “religion” that believes in and promotes the possibility of a PERSONAL relationship with Our Creator through an indwelling of the Holy Spirit.  Hence, Christianity is a RELATIONSHIP with our CREATOR…not a religion.

But men turned it into a religion…hence the nearly 44,000 different CHRISTIAN versions of how Christianity is to be lived out.  Jesus told us that it was necessary for us to be “Born Again.”  In fact, He told us “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Have YOU been born again…?

The Kingdom of God is not a place where Christians go when they die…it is the place where Jesus lives.    The Bible tells us that the Kingdom of God is WITHIN.  Huh?  Yeah!

Luke 17  “And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:  Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”

What?  The Kingdom is within the believer?  Is that why Jesus told us “That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.”

Stop right now and read John 3.  Here!

Read it again.  They were new BELIEVERS…but they had no power.  The Holy Spirit IS THE POWER!  In fact, Paul asked a group of new believers in Acts 19 “Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.”  Sounds like most denominations today

I was having a discussion the other day with a man who was singing the praises of his “Holy Ghost” filled church.

“Pardon me…Holy Ghost filled?”  I asked.  “Is there any other kind?”

The American church has become secularized…powerless to EXPAND the Kingdom of God…nothing more than a Christian social club…

Jesus told a group of new believers in the book of ACTS “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”

Is there real power in your faith?  Are you a witness to Christ everywhere you go?  In the book of ACTS the new believers were accused of “turning the world upside down.” Where is the power of God today?   The world has capsized and it has been done under the watchful eye of the Secularized American church.

Cable TV destroyed Christianity.  The “name it and claim it…grab it and blab it” version of Christianity spewed over the satellites produced a secularized, humanistic version of Christianity.

The world sits in the midst of perilous times.  Only Christ and His Followers can right the ship.  The world is waiting on us.

“ For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.  For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.” 

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”

What are Believers so afraid of?

“Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed?”

You, no doubt, followed the horrific flooding in the Guadalupe River in Kerrville, Texas. Media reports provided the deaths of over 110 people, thus far. During every report, the river rose within an hour to over 28 feet in the dead of night.

Virtually every report brought up the “Climate Change” phenomenon that’s causing such catastrophic weather that’s killing people not only in the USA, but around the world.

If that weather phenomenon proves to be true, we humans face a sobering future. Essentially, “climate change” could wipe out our ability to grow crops. It could wipe out our ability to live in a temperate, stable climate. It could and will, create horrific species extinction rates because plants and animals will not be able to evolve quickly enough.

Each time you hear that “climate change” is causing all these catastrophes, you NEVER hear about the “driver” of climate change. What is that driver? Answer: human overpopulation that adds 83,000,000 (million) more of our species, net gain, every year, year in and year out, decade in and decade out.

And every newly added human will burn fuel to grow crops, grow livestock, transport food, eat those foods, warm their homes, drive cars, buy products that are produced by burning fuels and dozens of other ways to produce carbon footprint from burning fossil fuels. We’re talking millions of tons of carbon gas warming up the planet.

What’s astounding about the entire American media stems from the fact that none of them will educate the American public as to what it faces in the long term. Instead, we just keep packing human beings into America like there’s no tomorrow. Biden invited somewhere between 12 to as high as 21 million illegal aliens. At the same time, we legally added 4,000,000 immigrants in his four years. Then, you start adding their babies, and you’re talking millions more people added to America. Those immigrants, of course, fled their overpopulated countries like Somalia, Congo, Sudan, India, China, Indochina, and the list grows to over 150 countries—that cannot sustain their own populations.

But you won’t hear a peep about it from the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post or Los Angeles Times.

Just keep cramming bodies into America until our carrying capacity collapses.

Thirty years ago, one of my readers wrote me the following letter: As George Sura in Colorado said, “Immigration is the most formidable weapon of mass destruction threatening America today. Ironically, invaders have put our country at risk without firing a shot. The White House, the heavies in Congress and the smaller fish in state legislatures do not seem to have the collective intellectual depth or common sense to see what is upon us and how rampant immigration will degrade the lives and opportunities of our progeny. Every day brings America closer to irreversible chaos. Behind this issue are blind forces to reckon with. No politician, political party, corporation, religious fervor, investment, pop morality or individual aspiration should come before our country. The brokers who recklessly advocate or condone pervasive immigration are steersman with Titanic-like wheelhouse credentials.”

Mr. Sura saw it 30 years ago. I saw it 50 years ago. Top demographers screamed about it during Earth Day 1970. Back then, only 3.5 billion humans lived on planet Earth. Every news outlet reported that we humans were destroying Earth’s balancing systems by burning up the Amazon Rain Forest, the “Lungs of the Earth.” Everyone screamed about plastics polluting everything, but today 170 trillion pieces of plastic overwhelm our oceans according to an NPR report. Another 84,000 chemicals are spewed into the air, land, and water 24/7. We’ve jumped to 8.2 billion humans on this planet in 2025. We humans are accelerating our own collective suicide at an astounding rate of speed.

You cannot help but ask, “How completely stupid are Americans, and how totally stupid is the human race?”

Yours truly has written three sobering books on America’s overpopulation crisis. Immigration’s Unarmed Invasion—Deadly Consequences in 2004…the Eight Ways to Destroy America; America on the Brink—The Next Added 100 Million Americans in 2009, America’s Overpopulation Predicament—Blindsiding Future Generations 2021.

Copies were sent 60 Minutes, NPR, PBS, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, Tucker Carlson, Anderson Cooper, Joe Rogan, Fox News, and dozens of independent networks. Result: not one response. Not one interview offer.

Whether you were affected or not by the tragedy in Kerrville with the flash flooding, do you appreciate that ever greater tragedies will rain-down upon our civilization in the coming years as we grow from 350 million to over 650 million within 75 years by the end of the century? With more people, those tornado’s will kill more people! Is anyone listening the dozens of books written about exhausting all our resources? Have you read Christopher O. Clugston’s: Blip—Humanity’s 300 Year Self-Terminating Experiment with Industrialism.

That book should be a national bestseller. It should be in every college classroom and every boardroom. When will we exhaust our resources? By 2050 or sooner! He documents how we are exhausting water, energy and resources that allow our civilization to thrive. Once we exhaust every resource, our civilization collapses. It’s that God-awful simple. He should be interviewed on every TV network and radio show across America. We either start preparing for what’s coming…or, we become a giant civilization that will suffer the same fate of those people in Kerrville, Texas on the Guadalupe River. It’s that simple. They weren’t prepared for that “climate change” flood, and we are not prepared for what’s coming by 2050.

As a journalist who has visited six continents to see humanity overwhelming this planet’s ability to sustain human life, I can say unequivocally that, “WE ARE NOT PREPARED FOR THE FUTURE!” We’re not prepared for the next 20 years let along when we reach 650 million people in America by the end of the century.

How do you destroy America? One reader said, “Massive numbers of immigrant invaders is one strategy. Destroys national cohesion. Overload our systems.”

As you witnessed those 11 anarchists shooting up ICE officers in Texas, you’re seeing Governor Newsom of California and Los Angeles Mayor Bass defying Federal Law. Both of them are too stupid to address the fact that California races toward adding 20 million more people, net gain, by 2050. Again, as illegal numbers grow, law and order cannot be maintained. At some point, those numbers create a “Hobson’s Choice”, which means there is NO CHOICE!

As our human population numbers explode beyond sustainability, consequences accelerate to their final rendition. Your kids don’t deserve what’s coming.

Anybody with half a brain tied behind his back, as Rush Limbaugh used to say, knows that the United States is going bankrupt and is on the road to socialism. The victory of the “Democratic Socialist” in New York City, America’s largest city, proves the point. He is a liar and a fraud, having sold himself as half-black, but the biggest fraud is the socialist recipe for America’s affordability crisis that he is promoting and winning with. His toxic solution, already responsible for the deaths of 100 million people since the Russian revolution, could easily go national.

President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” promises that we will be able to pay for the socialist state through tax cuts and deregulation, and he may be right, because they will buy us some time. Their hope is that rapid economic expansion will generate enough money for the federal leviathan that we will avoid total “obliteration” financially and somehow come back from the brink.

We know that the bill will at least temporarily add more debt through large federal deficits. Federal entitlement programs remain, and one of the most gruesome outgrowths of Obamacare, the expansion of Medicaid to illegals and deadbeats, has only been slightly whittled down, with a few work requirements.

Republicans are dealing with a poor hand they have been given by socialist Democrats and they now understand that it is hard to manage a welfare state.

In addition to the “Democratic Socialist” opposition, conservatives must deal with the moralizing from the Catholic priests and bishops, with D.C. Cardinal McElroy telling CNN that Trump’s policies are morally repugnant. The Vatican he serves is $90 million in deficit and they were recently asking for donations through the “Peter’s Pence” scam being collected on Sundays.

Much of the money being collected on a local basis covers legal costs associated with child abuse sex cover-ups and settlements.

Please Mr. McElroy, go back to the Bible, for once.  “Thou shalt not steal” presupposes private property. McElroy and his “Christians” are addicted to government money that their “charities” used to facilitate the illegal alien invasion.

A new study finds that one big factor in the rise of the cost of living has been health care, with medical premiums rising an incredible 301 percent from 2001 to 2023. Republicans tried to repeal Obamacare, which was backed by the Catholic Church, but they failed and it led to astronomical expansion of Medicaid under the Democrats. Hence, the recent brouhaha over “cuts” to the program, which is now available to illegal aliens and subsidizes couch potatoes abusing the system.

The major media raised a hue and cry over minor adjustments to the program, hoping to breathe life in the Democratic Party. This is the only issue they have, and their solution is more socialized medicine.

We must face the fact that the federal government is too big and it will continue to grow in power and influence over us. We are beginning to live like the Indians we conquered now on reservations under federal jurisdiction.

We need more and better education. The Foundation for Economic Education (FEE) is a source I consulted early on in my career and its writers made me aware of how Big Government inevitably leads to socialism and communism. Its newsletter has great articles about such topics as the New York City Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.

Diogo Acosta, the new president of FEE, notes, “Mamdani’s socialist solutions are actually part of the infection, not the cure. Socialism doesn’t make things affordable. It makes them scarce. Ask any Venezuelans who remember when their country was Latin America’s richest. Ask any Cubans why they risk their lives on makeshift rafts. Ask the American Pilgrims who nearly starved before discovering the miracle of private property.”

Another article examines the failure of DOGE, which is timely in view of how its brain, Elon Musk, has now announced a new political party to deal with the budget mess. He is correct about how the swamp continues to expand and he, like Trump, promotes crypto currency as an alternative to fiat money. For his part, Trump is clearly unsatisfied with how the Federal Reserve is impeding lower interest rates that hold back economic growth, especially in the housing sector, which next to heath care is a major affordability problem.

Some of the new spending in President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill makes complete sense. He gets more money for national defense and border security. These are constitutional obligations of the federal government that Joe Biden, now living behind gated walls with warning signs around his Rehoboth Beach mansion, pretended not to understand. He was a traitor to America’s sovereignty who made this spending necessary.

Where I disagree with FEE, a free market group, is in its fierce opposition to tariffs, the taxing power of the federal government that enabled us to avoid the personal income tax for decades and financed the rise of our industrial superpower status as a nation. FEE doesn’t grasp the rationale for Karl Marx’s support for global free trade, a precondition for communist revolution, and how China and other nations used this weapon to undermine our economy.

President Trump is facing many problems, not the least of which is his Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Epstein files cover-up, but his plan for tariffs can once again save America on an economic basis. Through 2034, one analysis shows, the Trump tariffs currently in effect would reduce debt by about $2.7 trillion. But anther characteristic of tariffs is the ability to avoid other forms of federal taxation and reduce direct federal involvement in our lives.

Trump’s tariffs should remain in effect and even be expanded, especially on communist countries like China. We should not be doing any aid and trade with Russia, a major military threat to Europe and America.  His announced trade deal with Vietnam should be reviewed and rejected, however, since you can only trust communists to be communists. Vietnam’s communist rulers, with the support of China and Russia, killed more than 58,000 Americans in the Vietnam War.

I am comforted by the prospect that, while we are on the road to bankruptcy, America’s soldiers today represent the same spirit that gave us independence almost 250 years ago. Recruitment is up and there is a new sense of patriotism in America. These young people are smart, strong, and motivated.

That gives us some time to save ourselves.

I wouldn’t be surprised if some day, they put the Simpsons in the Smithsonian. It’s become part of our culture, those characters.  —Joe Mantegna

To found at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Institution, an establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men.  —James Smithson, Founder of the Smithsonian

President Donald Trump has expressed criticism towards Smithsonian exhibits, particularly in the context of what he and his administration perceive as promoting “improper, divisive or anti-American ideology”.

In March 2025, Trump issued an executive order directing the Smithsonian’s Board of Regents to remove content he felt was inappropriate. He cited exhibits in the National Museum of African American History and Culture and the Smithsonian American Art Museum as examples.  He claimed the Smithsonian was adopting a “revisionist movement” that negatively portrayed American founding principles and historical events.

Fox News reported the following regarding Mickey Mouse and the Lone Ranger:

The exhibit reframes iconic American characters through a critical, politically-charged lens. On The Lone Ranger, the display states: “The White title character’s relationship with Tonto resembled how the U.S. government imagined itself the world’s Lone Ranger.”

Mickey Mouse, a beloved American cultural icon, is not spared either. A display for the 1928 cartoon Steamboat Willie states, “Mickey challenged authority, but not everyone was in on the joke.”

It continues: “Mickey Mouse debuted as the deckhand ‘Steamboat Willie’ in 1928, amidst a rising anxiety felt by many that modern living and city life were eroding family and community ties and loosening moral codes… But the new character’s outsized facial features, white gloves, and trickster temperament were vestiges of longstanding traditions of blackface minstrelsy.”

The Smithsonian has a rather questionable background, but I’d surmise President Trump doesn’t know about it.  Robert Dale Owen, a democrat congressman from Indiana, played a significant role in the establishment of the Smithsonian Institution. He introduced the bill in 1846 that founded the Institution. He served on the first Board of Regents and was instrumental in the design of the Smithsonian Institution Building, also known as the Castle. He chaired the Building Committee.  Owen’s advocacy for a national system of free secondary education also influenced the early vision of the Smithsonian.

Robert Dale Owen was the son of the first socialist, Robert Owen, who immigrated to America in 1824 and started a socialist school in New Harmony, Indiana.  He was just as enamored of socialism/communism as his father but felt that his father really could have done better.

The father, Robert Owen, addressed the U.S. Congress on multiple occasions.

Key Details:

• When: He gave two speeches to the U.S. Congress in 1825, on February 25th and March 7th.
• What: He presented his vision for the utopian community at New Harmony, Indiana, and outlined his socialist beliefs.
• Audience: His addresses were delivered to the House of Representatives and other members of the government. The audience for his ideas included several key figures from the founding generation:

• Three former presidents: John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison.
• The outgoing President, James Monroe.
• The President-elect, John Quincy Adams.

This indicates that Robert Owen did indeed interact with members of the founding generation during his visits and speeches to the U.S. Congress.

The President should know the Smithsonian’s origins, but I’d bet no one in his cabinet has enlightened him.  If anyone would know, it would be Stephen Miller!

President Trump’s instincts are correct.  His evaluation of the Smithsonian’s “one-sided, divisive political narratives” is not surprising once the 1846 involvement in the Smithsonian’s creation by socialist Robert Dale Owens is fully known.

The People Are Bringing This Upon Themselves

“Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness…” -Jeremiah 4:18

This week, the ministry trip led us to Denver, Colorado to do an event with KHNC 1360 am where going through the airport was a very enlightening experience.  Let me explain!

Upon arriving at the Minneapolis, Saint Paul International Airport, I noticed something was way off.  Yet, I knew what was coming because Scripture warns of it (Deuteronomy 28:63).  I saw that the airport police have upped the ante to the extreme on the weaponry being used within to allegedly protect the people.  It looked like what you would have seen and expected in Europe, or customs in transition from one country to another, though it was right here in our backyard.

I also noticed that literally 98% of those working at the airport were of Muslim descent. They were the ones being used to check people in, to carry people’s luggage, to push the elderly to their planes and/or service the food supply to the American people.  Hmm.

Weren’t we told for 18 years by the mainstream media and the said representatives that this ethnic group was responsible for September 11, 2001? Of course, we were.

Video: For 18 years The Mainstream Media Claimed that We Were…

Now, as we were standing in line to be criminally violated by the pretended authority agents of the TSA and its debased, unqualified and, in many cases, criminal personnel, who have yet to deter or prevent an alleged terror attack after 24 years of service to their taskmasters.

We came to the check point after the American people (suspected terrorists) were told to walk in twos while canine dogs were sniffing them out just in case they may have any weapons of mass destruction on them.

Do not forget that your said representative government is accusing every American of being suspected terrorists (your chains are being forged under the guise of more security).  Just ask the Department of Homeland Security (Numbers 32:23).

Video: Homeland Security Defines Law Abiding Americans as Potential Terrorists.

Back to the check point.  Now, as we came up to the check point, where the TSA agent, who was wearing a hijab, took our license (Real IDs are unconstitutional and being used for illegal data collection) and then the agent said to stand in front of the camera to further their unconstitutional intrusive measures to which I replied with “Absolutely not, you have my photo I. D., that is enough!”

Benjamin Franklin stated, “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

Consider, friends, that the illegals who are being treasonably allured into this country, while being incentivized with your stolen and illegally reallocated tax dollars, by both state and federal governments, require nothing of the illegals when traveling in and through the airports.  Read Article III, Section 3 U. S. Constitution.

Video: Crimes of the Illegals.

Hence, I conclude. The Father of the Constitution, James Madison, warned long ago that “If tyranny or oppression every come to this country it will come in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy,” and here we all are.

A Ball-Drop On The Fourth Of July

The New Years’ Eve midnight “ball drop” on Times Square signifies a new beginning. Out with the old, in with the new.

So, too, at 5:47 p.m., July 4, 2025 our nation felt a new beginning. That was the moment Trump signed the “Big Beautiful Bill” into law. At that moment, I said a prayer of thanks and supplication. “Thank you, Lord. Please protect this man. He has brought us to a modicum of sanity, faster and further than anyone thought possible.

Image from Grok!

NO, the BBB was not everything that anyone had hoped. Basically, it is a reconciliation bill (able to be passed by a simple majority) which addresses tax policy, border security, immigration, defense, energy production, the debt limit, and adjustments to programs like SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) and Medicaid. It kept Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, helped a majority of social security recipients. It addresses the SNAP program by requiring proof of need. Yes, it raised the budget limit, but debt-to-GDP falls to 94% by 2034 under the Trump plan. (that is 23% lower than in Biden world)

It was a start, and far batter than slogging on in Socialist disphoria, as DC has since 2008. IMHO.

As to “Green Energy” projects stuffed down our national throat by O’Biden in 2022, the BBB provided significant changes to the subsidies to solar and wind projects, funded by our tax dollars. Every state whose farm land is being covered with panels and battery farms, can breathe a sign of relief. It rolls back tax credits and subsidies established under Obama/Biden’s “Inflation Reduction Act” of 2022, and is estimated to cut back on solar project investment by 40% by 2030. There will be increased funding for fossil fuels; new projects, including tax incentives for development of gas, oil and coal generation. This is quite significant, for a number of reasons.

Solar energy is inefficient and inefective, providing power for less than 22% of each day, even in the Sunshine states”. Yes, as you remember the ten-year power plan for Florida is all about it.

The citizens of states like Florida, whose beautiful open land is being blanketed by solar, should be thrilled. Their legislature? Who knows? Tallahassee has been all behind the push for solar since DeSantis was elected, although somehow DeGov claims to be against it… When did his mind change, or did he just notice? The people of Florida are against solar in large part. Perhaps now, their governor will listen to them.

We are over 330 million people. We have a lot of different wishes. Many of us, from both “sides of the aisle,” have a wish for freedom. The very fact that our President got Congress to pass this piece of legislation answered that wish, even if some did not realize it, or want to admit it.

NOT A SINGLE “D” IN EITHER CHAMBER VOTED FOR IT. We kind of knew they wouldn’t, but hope springs eternal, and all that stuff. The Left was “D” for desperate, to show unity, as the “Democrat Party” disintegrates. They still do not know why this has happened.

I won’t go into that here, either. You can pick that mewling and puking up on any MSM outlet, or crazed Leftist. Their whines are SO far from the truth, they are nauseating. Much of what I have read or heard simply proves they have NO IDEA what is in the BBB, only that they were told to hate it. The party on the Left is in a destructive tailspin, and hate is their only answer.

Obama’s message on this July 4th holiday emphasized the “WE” in “We the People”. It showed that he and his do NOT support a Republic such as we have. He referred to our country as a “democracy”, aka mob rule.

The passage of the BBB mainly showed us that we have national leadership that knows how to get things done for us. THE leadership WE elected, from small towns and rural America, from cities that have not been rotted by mob rule, or election fraud.

We needed that leadership SOoo badly in the face of what has happened to our nation in these past decades.

Barack, The single most powerful message in our Constitution is “republic” is Here, from ThoughtCo.

• Republics and democracies both provide a political system in which citizens are represented by elected officials who are sworn to protect their interests.
• In a pure democracy, laws are made directly by the voting majority, leaving the rights of the minority largely unprotected. (aka, mob rule, wherein the largest population centers would control everything.) Trust NO ONE who wants to dispose of the Electoral College.
• In a republic, laws are made by representatives chosen by the people and must comply with a constitution that protects the rights of the minority from the will of the majority.

Then, in the midst of this major effort to return America back to our constitutional primciples, there’s Elon, who wants to start a third party. Is this because he didn’t get his way?

Of course, third parties are constitutional but have never done much except to upset the proverbial apple cart. Grok says they have promoted new ideas – like the Socialist and Progressive Parties. Frankly, those ideas are old, deadly and proven NOT to work. We will have to intruduce Grok to the value of a full apple cart.

A huge majority of people seem to think a third party is an abject disaster.

Attention Florida, again. Keep an eye on your Governor.

We know that Musk’s third-party idea is strumming the receptors of Ron DeSantis. Immediately after the first Trump/Musk tiff, DeGov sent out a mailer from the “RON PAC”. Now DeSantis is waving his AG, Untheimer’s idea of Alligator Alcatraz. in front of the public to show what a good Turmp helper he is – which no one believes.

Grok tells us that the comms between Musk and DeSantis are on the rise since the spat.

“The feud between Elon Musk and Donald Trump, which escalated in early June 2025, has significantly increased discussion about Musk and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, particularly in the context of their past alliance and potential political implications.”

The key points, says Grok, of increased discussion are both the fact that Desantis jumped to Musk’s defense when the disagreement first broke out; and their historical alliance when, in 2023, Musk showed support for DeSantis, particularly during the 2023 launch of DeSantis’ presidential campaign on Twitter Spaces.

We who understand the value of unity, must evaluate what this would do to our nation, should the midterm Congress be diluted with a few more anti-Trumpers. That is ALL Musk’s effort would possible accomplish; perhaps a few percent change in Congressional representation – enough to topple Trump’s slim majority.

Thanks Elon, for the work in DOGE. But, butt out! You were invited to research spending and cheating in the Obama-Biden years, and you did a good job of that. You were not invited to the halls of power to destroy our last chance to save this Republic.

NO MAS, dude! Or however you say that in Musk – speak. America already has enough enemies. We had thought of you as a friend…

At this point, it is too early to tell. There may or may not be a Musk tusk stabbed into the gut of the 2026 midterms. We will have to wait and see how short-sighted and childish are some of the sources (Musk) and uses (DeGov and others) of big political money. Right now, we need unity. Prayers up.

I didn’t start out to share my thoughts on Elon Musk with you. I truly wanted to praise our POTUS for his commitment to us and our country. AND, his success in getting us this far!. (God had a lot to do with that, of course, by saving his life a year ago this month, on July 13, 2024.) This is another day I will remember for life. July 13, 2024, Butler, PA.

Musk, however, is the one wild card that could hurt us all. We can already surmise that the DeGov of Florida would be happy to help hurt the man who beat him so badly in his own state, in the 2024 Presidentail Primaries. It is already very clear, through some of the moves pulled by his RPOF, that DeSantis does NOT care about the wishes of his constituents. NOR is he America First. I can’t help but think that helping Elon Musk run a fools’ mission against President Turmp would fill his heart with glee.

Gov DeSantis, though, does love Elon, especially since the third party talk arose. Again, according to Grok, there have been No explicit mentions directly (which) address Musk in the context of a third-party run, but these interactions show DeSantis consistently referencing Musk in policy and political discussions since the third-party speculation began.

Keep your news nose to the ground. The next months will tell us a lot.

Democrats in politics and the media have been committing treason, aiding and abetting foreign invaders and fomenting insurrection, sedition and violence from their Marxist voters for years now. Suddenly, they are pretending to be concerned over the hate and violence they have been inciting for years.

Dem lawmakers say their voters are threatening ‘blood’ and ‘violence’ over inability to hinder Trump!

Axios says “it spoke to over two dozen House Democrats to measure the temperature of the Democratic base. What it found was red-hot anger and a burgeoning desire to circumvent the rule of law, where explanations that Democrats simply don’t hold enough power in Washington fall on deaf ears.” …not at all shocking after years of democrat calls for violence in the streets.

Meanwhile, Active shooter killed in attempt to ambush Border Patrol agents in Texas. Top Democrats admit ‘failure,’ fecklessness on border in scathing NY Times report…

In case you have not figured it out yet, let me tell you, the Marxist-Islamic jihadi LEFT imported and embedded across the country will not stop until the battle for the future of USA freedom, liberty, justice and national sovereignty and security is pushed into the streets.

Today’s democrat left is prepared for a total “scorched earth” operation designed to prevent Americans from ever taking their country back!

They have just about exhausted all political, judicial and mass-media means of regaining power in the USA. Violence in our streets is all they have left.

Remember when Obama said he was going to “fundamentally transform America” and “raise up a citizen army” to do it? That’s exactly what he meant and precisely what he has done since 2004, as the grand poobah of extreme left community organizing. His army is ANTIFA and BLM, augmented by intentionally imported Islamic terrorists, Mexican cartels and violent South American gangs.

Our colleges have raised up a Fifth Column to take over cities and support the foreign overthrow of the United States from within.

As MAGA tries to reform our country back to a sane and free Constitutional Representative Republic that puts America First, the left is prepared to burn it all to the ground to prevent that from ever happening!

Driving their party deeper and deeper into collapse with their unapologetic global Marxist agenda, the DNC is fast arriving at a point of no return.

At the same time, megalomaniac billionaire Elon Musk has set his sights upon helping the LEFT attack the MAGA right and the only political party competitive with the DNC!

While the political Right would like to save their country peacefully, even effortlessly if they can, it doesn’t look like their opponents will allow that to happen.

Some things never change…divide and conquer!

When talking fails, violence is always next!

We’re about to find out how much MAGA Americans want their freedom back… Push is coming to shove, and the LEFT won’t stop until they are stopped!

Trump is losing fans from the Right as well, due to things like, DOJ’s Epstein Bombshell: ‘No Credible Evidence’? No ‘Client List’? But Won’t Release Materials Because They’re Illegal?

The time to drain the swamp is about to run out.

Sound Science, sound environmentalism, and sound governance have been missing for decades. Pray that none are dead. Regretfully, many people in the world are dead because of the fake science, anti-human environmentalism, and our republic form of government has long been torn apart and replaced by the administrative state – all thanks to globalists who want to control the world.

While these areas have been being corrupted for over a hundred years, in 1992 these three areas became the central components to achieving a one-world government via the United Nations. The Wildland Project and the Biodiversity Treaty/Agenda 21 were the two projects/documents telling us exactly what was in store for the United States — and the rest of the world; the U.S. is key, and the others will fall if we do.

SOUND SCIENCE has been undermined in all areas and from the very beginning. But the big hit on science came with the Global Warming scam. The initial study of whether warming was happening or not, was written by the major climate scientists of the world. Regretfully, that initial document basically said that there was no global warming.

So, then it was time for the U.N. scientists to come to the rescue. When the second version came out – with strong belief that we were going to go to hell – er, somewhere hot – if we didn’t start shutting down Carbon Dioxide, the food of all plants. And quickly. A good number of ethical scientists asked to have their names removed from the new document. What does that say of those who stuck with the lies? Wind power in the oceans kill whales and other sea creatures. The turbines only last a number of years and then quit producing. According to AI, when wind turbines reach the end of their operational life, they are typically decommissioned. This involves dismantling the turbine and recycling or disposing of the various components. While a large percentage of a turbine, like the steel tower and copper wiring, is recyclable, the fiberglass blades pose a significant challenge, with many ending up in landfills.

For over 30 years sound scientists, like Marc Morano, Paul Driessen, the late F. Fred Singer and numerous others have been writing books and articles, giving speeches, and appearing on TV and at Climate Conferences to proclaim the truth. But mainstream media and the powers-that-be ignored, belittled, and scoffed at them.

Now we are starting to see good science being used to determine policy rather than the bogus science that promoted so many defective, deficient, and/or dangerous policies such as wind and solar power, and carbon capture. Regretfully, things aren’t moving as fast as many of us would like to see. Both wind and solar provide little power while costing a fortune, and the wind kills many birds including the “protected” eagles. Solar takes thousands of acres, and one hailstorm can make a solar farm useless while polluting the land under the panels by releasing the chemicals from the panels.

Definition of REASON: the power of intelligent and dispassionate thought, or of conduct influenced by such thought.

One person who doesn’t get quoted much in the discussion of early education designed by the Frankfurt School is Mary Parker Follett. Yet, she lays out, in black and white, what she sees as the new state (which is the title of one of her books). Reason, for the Frankfurt School requires one to follow pure Marxist socialism acquired through the school system.

As Parker Follett says, The training for the new democracy must be from the cradle – through nursery, school and play, and on and on through every activity of our life. Citizenship is not to be learned in good government classes or current events courses or lessons in civics. It is to be acquired only through those modes of living and acting which shall teach us how to grow the social consciousness. This should be the object of all day school education, of all night school education, of all our supervised recreation, of all our family life, of our club life, of our civic life.  

Follet believed that there is no such thing as an individual conscience, that, “We can have no true moral judgment except as we live our lives with others. . . our individual conscience must be incorporated in a national conscience as one of its constituent members.”

And what does she think of individualism and nationalism? “. . . as we see now that a nation cannot be healthy and virile if it is merely protecting the rights of its members, so we must see that we can have no sound condition of world affairs merely by the protection of each individual nation – that is the old theory of individual rights. Each nation must play its part in some larger whole. (National rights) are as obsolete as the individual rights of the last century. . . In our present international law, a sovereign nation is one that is independent of other nations – surely a complete legal fiction.” Follett’s book, The New State, tells us what kind of community we will have and where individuals fit in (not). It is the outline of what will be taught (or not) to our children.

Not to belabor the point, but listen to Chester M. Pierce, a specialist in child education,   “Every child in America entering school at the age of five is mentally ill because he comes to school with certain allegiances to our founding fathers, toward our elected officials, toward his parents, toward a belief in a supernatural being, and toward the sovereignty of this nation as a separate entity. It’s up to you as teachers to make all these sick children well by creating the international child of the future.”

Brock Chisholm, the First Secretary General of World Health Organization (WHO):“To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism, loyalty to family tradition, national patriotism, and religious dogmas. “We have been very slow to rediscover this truth and to recognize the unnecessary and artificially imposed inferiority, guilt and fear, commonly known as sin . . . which produces so much of the social maladjustment and unhappiness in the world. For many generations we have bowed our necks to the yoke of the conviction of sin. We have swallowed all manner of poisonous certainties fed us by our parents, our Sunday and day school teachers, our politicians, our priests.

“Thou shalt become as gods, knowing good and evil”, good and evil, with which to keep children under control, with which to prevent free thinking, with which to impose local and familial and national loyalties and with which to blind children to their glorious intellectual heritage. Misguided by authoritarian dogma, bound by exclusive faith, stunted by inculcated loyalty, torn by frantic heresy . . . and loaded down by the weight of guilt and fear engendered by its own original promises, the unfortunate human race, deprived . . . of its reasoning power and its natural capacity to enjoy the satisfaction of its natural urges, struggles along under its ghastly self-imposed burden. The results, the inevitable results, are frustration, inferiority, neurosis and inability to enjoy living, to reason clearly or to make a world fit to live in. Man’s freedom to observe and to think freely . . . has been destroyed or crippled by local certainties . . . moralities . . . personal salvation . . . frequently masquerading as love.

Nothing in the comprehensive plans today have to do with teaching children how to read, write or compute.

COMMON SENSE: Mirriam Webster Dictionary: common sense, judgment, wisdom mean ability to reach intelligent conclusions. sense implies a reliable ability to judge and decide with soundness, prudence, and intelligence. a choice showing good sense. common sense suggests an average degree of such ability without sophistication or special knowledge. Brock Chisholm, the First Secretary of the World Health Organization (WHO – those pushing the COVID vaccine) stated: “To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism, loyalty to family tradition, national patriotism, and religious dogmas.” Where then do they get information on which to come to common sense conclusions?

Under “The Goal of Science Education” the Marxists write, “By giving them a flavour of how biases and intuitions have distorted our reasoning in the past, students will learn to appreciate that intuitions and appeals to “common sense” are extremely unreliable when it comes to understanding anything about the world outside of the ecological environment our minds are adapted to. If people realize that, for instance, we tend to interpret the world in “essentialist” terms, and such intuitive essentialism can lead us seriously astray (e.g. race pseudoscience, creationism), this might make them a bit more skeptical about their own “common sense” and about the way they usually obtain information about the world.”

We are seeing common sense from people who have been injured or had property damaged by government and elected officials making rules and laws that are only good for the globalists and their lackeys – the politicians and non-governmental officials who do their dirty work.

In the same way the American people have rallied against men in women’s sports, they are now mobilizing against the grotesque spectacle of men “marrying” other men, an obvious perversion of the natural law and God’s plan for humanity. So-called homosexual marriage is a national perversion that can be reviewed and overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court.

With a 6-3 conservative majority, including three Trump nominees, this is possible, even probable. But the Trump Administration will have to get involved, with the Department of Justice picking the right case to return to the Supreme Court and overturn “gay marriage.”

An NBC story, written by a “gay” reporter married to another man, is a clear sign they are worried. He writes about how the U.S. “legalized” so-called “marriage equality” without disclosing the flawed constitutional underpinnings for this disastrous ruling that should have been met with civil resistance, especially by America’s “Christian” churches.

Instead, we have in our country today children’s books in libraries and schools that promote unnatural sex and  celebrate “queer history,” while some churches even double as hang-outs for feminist witches during “Gay Pride” events.

The reporter’s phrase “marriage equality” is itself a perversion of language, since it equates the “gay” lifestyle, which can’t produce children, to traditional marriage between men and women. It is the gay equivalent of “undocumented immigrants” when referring to illegal aliens.

It is imperative for them to mask the nature of what they do, and what they are.

The Court’s abortion decision, Roe v. Wade, which led to more than 60 million abortions, was eventually overturned by the Court, and the 5-4 “gay marriage” decision in 2015, Obergefeld v. Hodges, can be overturned on the same grounds.

That frightens the “gay rights” lobby but the American people should greet such a development with anticipation since most of our states had previously voted to make traditional marriage between a man and a woman into a pillar of American society. This has been the way it was supposed to be since the advent of our Judeo-Christian foundations of our country and when traditional values were established into law.

“He created them male and female” is a statement that that can apply to differences between men and women, affecting issues like men in women’s sports as well as marriage.

But traditional sex distinctions were wiped away in “gay marriage” schemes that were rubber-stamped by the Court and led to America’s cultural meltdown, a process known as Cultural Marxism.

It should not be surprising that New York City Democrat Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, a Marxist Muslim, counts “queers” and “transgenders” as essential elements of his winning coalition.

The unconstitutional Roe v. Wade decision, legalizing abortion on demand, was just as flawed as Obergefell v. Hodges, which can easily be overturned as well.

Regarding the gay marriage decision, Justice Antonin Scalia’s dissent in the case called the ruling a judicial “Putsch,” an attempt to overthrow a form of government — ours. His dissent, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas, was written “to call attention to this Court’s threat to American democracy.”

Scalia understood the power and meaning of words and he chose the word “putsch” for a specific purpose. One definition of the term means “a secretly plotted and suddenly executed attempt to overthrow a government…”

Scalia was accurately describing the plan by the homosexual movement, started by communist Harry Hay, to force social acceptance of their perverted lifestyle. Their success has led to sexual confusion over men in women’s sports and the advent of the transgender movement. Harry Hay developed an STD, left his wife and wore a dress, and then identified as a fairy.

In other words, so-called “gay rights” led to many of the problems of sexual confusion and “gender dysphoria” we see today.

To begin the process of repealing Obergefell, President Trump can revoke the national monument designation for New York City’s Stonewall Inn, a scene of homosexual riots that began when police began arresting sexual predators known as Chicken Hawks —  adult males who coveted underage boys at a Mafia-run gay bar.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, to his credit, has already revoked the name of “Harvey Milk” on a U.S. Navy Ship. Milk preferred “boyish-looking” young men as sexual partners.

President Barack Hussein Obama began the process of “honoring” Harvey Milk with a ship and a stamp, identifying him as an American icon and hero, despite his record “of lying, predatory behavior, and anti-Christian rhetoric,” notes activist Peter LaBarbera, who now heads up the Center for Morality. He describes Milk, who was briefly in the Navy, as a “potential statutory rapist who lured fellow sailors into sodomite encounters”

The “gay rights” lobby likes to pretend that LGBTQ rights are “under brutal assault by Donald Trump,” but the president has not yet begun to fight.

As the gay story by an NBC news gay reporter married to another man makes clear, “Over the past several months, Republican lawmakers in at least 10 states have introduced measures aimed at undermining same-sex marriage rights. These measures, many of which were crafted with the help of the anti-marriage equality group MassResistance, seek to ask the Supreme Court to overturn Obergefell.”

The term “marriage equality,” as noted, is designed to obscure the nature of gay sex, which in males leads to multiple sexually-transmitted diseases, including HIV/AIDS. This form of sex, known as anal sex, cannot produce children, only disease and early death.

MassResistance is an organization headed  by Brian Camenker that has been influential on a national and global basis.

Its anti-Obergefell resolutions in state legislatures across the U.S. are “causing alarm,” with the group adding that “The MassResistance push to ultimately reverse same-sex ‘marriage’ is successfully moving across the country. Shockingly, our resolutions in state legislatures get blocked not by leftists, but by RINO Republicans.”

Opposition, as demonstrated by the NBC story, is also coming from the “news” media. The author of the story was named as a gay “Journalist of the Year” and his bio declares he was “raised more by television than his parents,” a fact that helps explain things.

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” promises many economic achievements and advancements, but the cultural collapse of America must be addressed.

The dirty, filthy game of politics in Washington, DC has saturated the prostitute media on every platform from the propaganda machine (TV) radio shows to web sites on overload regarding President Trump’s so-called One Big Beautiful Bill.[1]

Before that it was temper tantrums over DOGE by buffoons rioting. Democrats and those feeding off government contracts and absurd waste of OUR money crapping their pants as. the massive amount of fraud, waste and abuse by just about every federal agency, constitutional or otherwise, was laid out for the American people to see how they’ve been fleeced over the decades.

Oh, don’t think for a second it was only members of the Democrat/Communist Party USA now getting their money faucet turned off.  Just where have all those “smaller government conservative” incumbent Republicans been the past few years (or decades) and their “oversight” committees?

President Trump campaigned on a transparent government, no more foreign wars, job growth and common sense among other goals.  Expose all the cover-ups:  Who really killed President Kennedy and who planned it?  Hold those responsible for their crimes unless the statute of limitations saves them. The phony Russian Dossier [2]; did pedophile Jeffrey Epstein really commit suicide and did he work for the CIA or FBI under their “black box” operations, the January 6^th cover-up?

So many lies. So many cover-ups, blackmail (Oh yeah), two attempts on Trump’s life and now yet another from the human garbage they call the Khomeini over in Iran.  That waste of human skin has ramped it up since we obliterated their underground nuclear energy facilities and labs putting out a Fatwa on Trump.

Millions of Americans are getting angry none of the promised release of documents (other than what’s already been reported years ago) has been forthcoming.  Too much declassified has been blacked out, page after page after page.  Not good.

One attack on our own has pretty much become just another forgotten “incident” while the guilty walk free and get rich. Specifically, career criminal, Hildebeast Clinton.  It pays to have friends in high places with lots of money.  Not forgotten OUR dead and wounded, their families and friends: Benghazi.

Our U.S. Ambassador, Christopher Stevens, who was always a friend of the Libyan people wasn’t just murdered, his dead body was dragged through the streets by illiterate mobs.  When the free political ads (committee hearings), finally got around to Hildebeast Clinton testifying, can we remember that cockroach’s infamous comment? After leaving office she’s lived the life of luxury with OUR men’s blood on her hands which means NOTHING to Hillary as she parades around in Omar the Tent Maker designer outfits):

Hillary Clinton’s Benghazi Debacle: Arming Jihadists in Libya . . . and Syria, Aug. 2, 2016: Looking ahead to the next installment of e-mails from WikiLeaks

“As U.S. armed forces attack ISIS in Libya, WikiLeaks is poised to remind us that ISIS is in Libya — indeed, that ISIS is ISIS — thanks to disastrous policies championed by Hillary Clinton as President Obama’s secretary of state. Also raised, yet again, is the specter of Mrs. Clinton’s lying to Congress and the American people — this time regarding a matter some of us have been trying for years to get answers about: What mission was so important the United States kept personnel in the jihadist hellhole of Benghazi in 2012?

“Specifically, did that mission involve arming the Syrian “rebels” — including al-Qaeda and forces that became ISIS — just as, at Mrs. Clinton’s urging, our government had armed Libyan “rebels” (again, jihadists) to catastrophic effect?

“It has been less than two weeks since WikiLeaks rocked the Clinton campaign on the eve of the Democratic convention by leaking hacked e-mails illuminating DNC efforts to rig the nomination chase in Clinton’s favor. Now the organization’s founder, Julian Assange, has announced that WikiLeaks is soon to publish highly sensitive government e-mails that demonstrate Hillary Clinton’s key participation in efforts to arm jihadists in Syria. Just as in Libya, where Mrs. Clinton championed the strategy of arming Islamist “rebels,” the Syrian “rebels” who ultimately received weapons included the Muslim Brotherhood, al-Qaeda, and ISIS.

“The Daily Wire and other outlets are reporting on Assange’s comments, published by Democracy Now. Clearly, we should not take Assange’s word for what is to be gleaned from the hacked records, which he says include some 17,000 e-mails “about Libya alone.” Let’s see if he has what he says he has. But it is worth setting the stage, because what is known is outrageous and has not been given nearly enough attention — largely because Beltway Republicans were complicit in the Obama-Clinton policy of allying with Islamists, and thus have shown no interest in probing the inevitably disastrous fallout.”

Book (Quoting from Amazon):  Dark Forces: The Truth About What Happened in Benghazi, June 24, 2014 by Kenneth R. Timmerman (His bio is below and yes, I’ve read two of his books.)  “The New York Times bestselling author of Shadow Warriors investigates the tragedy of Benghazi to answer the questions: what really happened—and why?

“We know the Obama administration’s story, of a demonstration caused by an Internet movie that went out of control. But what actually did happen in Benghazi on the night of September 11, 2012?

“Dark Forces is the story of clandestine arms deliveries by the United States and its allies to Libya that wound up in the hands of Islamist guerrillas. It’s a story of a romantic diplomat, in love with the Middle East and with a mystical version of Islam. It’s a story of bald-faced lies, heroic acts, and the deepest corruption.

“But Dark Forces is not only a retelling of events. It puts those events into the larger context of Obama administration policy toward the Middle East. It will examine the administration’s record of systematically supporting Muslim Brotherhood and extremist groups in their efforts to overthrow pro-U.S. autocrats in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya.

“It shows how President Obama’s obsessive outreach to the leadership of the Islamic Republic of Iran led the Iranian regime to dismiss him as a weak, ineffective leader who would not fight back. And it shows why and how this deadly combination cost the lives of four Americans on Sept. 11, 2012.” Rest at link.

Arms dealer says administration made him scapegoat on Libya operation to ‘protect’ Clinton, Oct. 1, 2016, “EXCLUSIVE: American arms dealer Marc Turi, in his first television interview since criminal charges against him were dropped, told Fox News that the Obama administration — with the cooperation of Hillary Clinton’s State Department — tried and failed to make him the scapegoat for a 2011 covert weapons program to arm Libyan rebels that spun out of control.

“I would say, 100 percent, I was victimized…to somehow discredit me, to throw me under the bus, to do whatever it took to protect their next presidential candidate,” he told Fox News chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge.

“The 48-year-old Arizona resident has been at the epicenter of a failed federal investigation led by the Justice Department spanning five years and costing the government an estimated $10 million or more, Turi says.

“Turi says the Justice Department abruptly dropped the case to avoid public disclosure of the weapons program, that was designed to force the ouster of Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi during the 2011 Arab Spring.

“Those transcripts from current as well as former CIA officers were classified,” Turi said of the evidence. “If any of these relationships [had] been revealed it would have opened up a can of worms. There wouldn’t have been any good answer for the U.S. government especially in this election year.” The Justice Department faced a deadline last week to produce records to the defense.

“Turi says he was specifically “targeted by the Obama administration “and “lost everything–my family, my friends, my business, my reputation.”

“As Fox News has reported extensively, in 2011, the Obama administration with support from some Republican and Democratic lawmakers explored options to arm the so-called “Libyan rebels” during the chaotic Arab Spring but United Nations sanctions prohibited direct sales.”  Rest at link.

DOJ drops charges against alleged Libyan arms salesman, Oct. 5, 2015 – Read how our “justice” system covers up politically explosive truths to protect the anointed. In this case, Hildebeast Clinton.

Diplomats in Libya Sought More Security, Republicans Say, Oct. 2, 2012

Any truth to that? Well, it’s taken me weeks in between “spare time” to read H. Rept. 114-848 – FINAL REPORT OF THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON THE EVENTS SURROUNDING THE 2012 TERRORIST ATTACK IN BENGHAZI – House Select Committee on the Events Surrounding the 2012 Terrorist Attack in Benghazi Committee

All 621 pages of hide & seek. Testimony (some redacted) that danced all around the truth to protect dirty impostor president, Hussein Obama and Clinton. Hilbedeast lied through her expensive teeth and then had the gall to practically yell at a U.S. Senator:

What difference does it make, Hillary?  How about OUR dead and their families?  Why the stand down to prevent our military from saving our own, you witch?

Senate Intelligence Committee Releases Declassified Bipartisan Report on Benghazi Terrorist Attacks, Dec. 15, 2014 (While Americans are out Christmas shopping – emphasis mine) – Nothing but more bird cage liner.  “Washington—The Senate Intelligence Committee today issued a declassified report on the September 11-12, 2012, terrorist attacks against U.S. personnel at the Temporary Mission Facility and CIA Annex in Benghazi, Libya. The committee found the attacks were preventable, based on extensive intelligence reporting on the terrorist activity in Libya—to include prior threats and attacks against Western targets—and given the known security shortfalls at the U.S. Mission.”

Select Committee on Benghazi, U.S. House, July 8, 2016

There’s much more to that disaster and lots of click bait articles on web sites claiming Secretary Hegseth has declassified all the Benghazi files and they will be released to the public any second.  Read the small print on many of those web sites:  Satire.  However, I do believe this summary is very close to the truth:  The Real Story of Benghazi

President Trump and his newly installed FBI Director, Kash Patel. Deputy Director FBI, Dan Bongino, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and VP J.D. Vance have all in their own words conveyed the only way to restore America’s faith in our government – specifically law enforcement and intelligence – is to give the American people the truth.

I am fully aware these are huge tasks considering the cover-ups for each of the ones listed below, but it’s been decades.  More than enough time for teams to sort probably tens of thousands of pages (which in many cases has already been done), refer to the Department of Justice run by Blondi Bondi if warranted and give the families and We the People the truth because I can tell you, Trump voters (Republicans and Independents) are getting fed up with “soon.”

Judicial Watch has been a bull dozer in ferreting out the truth through FOIA requests over the decades on many critical issues and highly regarded by President Trump.  One would think Trump’s top people in various agencies would cooperate instead of forcing Judicial Watch to sue to get documents from various agencies.  Fat chance.

Judicial Watch Sues Secret Service Records on Security Breach At Trump Event, Oct. 18, 2024: “(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for details of a U.S. Secret Service agent reportedly breastfeeding her baby while on duty at a Trump rally in North Carolina in August (Judicial Watch, Inc. v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security (No. 1:24-cv-02925)).

“Judicial Watch filed the suit after the Secret Service failed to respond to an August 15, 2024, FOIA request for:

1. All records related to a reported incident on August 15, 2024 in Asheville, North Carolina in which a Secret Service agent was found to be breast-feeding her child at a Trump campaign rally site in violation of Secret Service regulations, including but not limited to: All emails and text messages sent to and from members of President Trump’s protective detail concerning the incident, as well as all USSS memoranda, reports, cables, directives and disciplinary records related to the incident.
2. All emails and text messages regarding the aforementioned incident sent to and from the following USSS officials: Acting Director Ronald Rowe, Chief Operating Officer Cynthia Radway, Asst. Dir. Michael Plati, Asst. Dir. Brian Lambert, Chief Human Capital Officer Denise Walker Hall, Asst. Dir. David Smith, Asst. Dir. Miltom Wilson, Uniformed Division Chief Michael Buck, Chief Counsel Thomas Huse, and Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi.

“The Secret Service denied the request on August 22 and later denied an appeal.” Video – VERY DISAPPOINTING.

We the People deserve the truth about Benghazi (just like OKC, TWA Flight 800, 9/11, KAL 007) and because the families of those killed will always have an empty seat at Thanksgiving and family get togethers.  Their grief will stay with them forever.

If you haven’t watched the movie 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, it is more than worth your time to watch it. It just sickened me.  Available on Amazon Prime and You Tube (you have to sign in to verify your age.)

NY Times best seller which I read in record time (try your library or buy at most book stores) 13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi (Amazon): “The harrowing, true account from the brave men on the ground who fought back during the Battle of Benghazi.

“13 Hours presents, for the first time ever, the true account of the events of September 11, 2012, when terrorists attacked the US State Department Special Mission Compound and a nearby CIA station called the Annex in Benghazi, Libya. A team of six American security operators fought to repel the attackers and protect the Americans stationed there. Those men went beyond the call of duty, performing extraordinary acts of courage and heroism, to avert tragedy on a much larger scale. This is their personal account, never before told, of what happened during the thirteen hours of that now-infamous attack.

“13 Hours sets the record straight on what happened during a night that has been shrouded in mystery and controversy. Written by New York Times bestselling author Mitchell Zuckoff, this riveting book takes readers into the action-packed story of heroes who laid their lives on the line for one another, for their countrymen, and for their country.

“13 Hours is a stunning, eye-opening, and intense book–but most importantly, it is the truth. The story of what happened to these men–and what they accomplished–is unforgettable.”

July 7, 2025

Over the 4th of July weekend, the conservative half of America celebrated the glory of America, the energy of America, the promise of America and the patriotism of America.

The liberal half of America marched against Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. Hundreds yelled out to impeach Trump. Hundreds screamed about Alligator Alcatraz’s cruelty toward illegal alien migrants in the Florida Everglades. Three hots and a cot in an air-conditioned building while awaiting deportation back to their own countries, was, “Cruel and unusual punishment.” Still more liberals burned and spit on Old Glory.

On the good side of America, Joey Chestnut took the national title back by eating 70.5 hotdogs in 10 minutes. How does one man’s stomach tolerate such a hotdog onslaught? Millions raced in 5.0- and 10-kilometer races. Millions more sailed, canoed, kite-surfed, skied, fished and sat on the beaches across America. In most towns across America, Old Glory waved from flagpoles at the front doors of millions of Americans.

Does that mean something’s going on with America that AOC just can’t handle or understand? Does it mean politician Somalian Muslim Ilhan Omar talks through her turban as she trashes America? Does it mean that Maxine Waters ran out of mouth? Does it mean that Nancy Pelosi’s personal fortune buys her more time on this planet? Does it mean that Communist Muslim Sohran Mamdani, an immigrant from Uganda, will be voted mayor of New York City?

You know cartoon satire cuts deep…in fact, it’s the best of the editorial pages.

A guy is reading the paper standing next to Mamdani, “There’s an ad running inviting New York businesses to Pennsylvania if you get elected mayor.” Mandani replied, “Just because I support global extermination of the Jews, Marxism, and taxing white people—shouldn’t be a big deal.” The man with the paper said, “How could that fly in America?” Mamdani said, “I got the vote.”

The guy reading the newspaper replied, “Sure are a lot of dumb people out there.”

“Democrats are worried that Iranian terror sleeper cells will now attack America from within. They are the same democrats who let them into America. The same democrats don’t want you to own guns.”

Walt Disney said, “I’ve been up against tough competition all my life. I wouldn’t know how to get along without it.”

New York’s mayoral candidate Sohran Mamdani asked his enthusiastic supporters, “Who wants free stuff?” Everyone raised their hands. Then he asked, “Who wants to pay for other peoples’ free stuff?” No one raised their hands.

“There are only three requirements for success in this life. First, decide exactly what you want in life. Second, determine the price you’re going to pay to get all the things you want out of life. Third, and this is most important, resolve to pay that price.”

One picture shows the famous, “The Rock” Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay. The second one shows “The Croc” Alcatraz in the Florida Everglades. Which would you pick if you were an illegal alien?

Trump at McDonald’s working the fries, “In 2025, a guy working at McDonald’s changed the world.”

The immigrant Arnold Schwarzenegger on “The View”, said, “If an immigrant comes to America, he or she is a guest, and they need to come here legally. It’s the only way America can survive.”

Ben Franklin said, “The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You must catch it yourself.”

“Why would you invite people into your country with a religion that dictates to them to ‘convert or kill you?”

“What’s a thing that you might have to get after you lose your food stamps?” Answer: a job!

Picture of a bombed train in France, “Islam is mostly a peaceful religion…except when it’s torturing infidels (that’s you), mutilating women, suicide bombing or shooting innocent people, honor killings, decapitations, ambushing neighboring countries or chanting “Death to America.”

Picture of AOC, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, “Iranian sleeper cells located in Congress.”

CNN commentator Van Jones, “Guys, can we cut it out? Trump is not an idiot. Let me make this clear. Trump is smarter than me, you and all his critics. This dude is a phenomenon. He is the most powerful human on Earth and in our lifetimes. We look like idiots.”

Guy flying the Mexican flag from a motorcycle in Los Angeles, “Oh the irony of a man flying a flag from a place he doesn’t want to be sent back to, and destroying the place he doesn’t want to leave.”

“Fire Elizabeth MacDaunaugh. Nobody wants to pay for 1.4 million illegal aliens on Medicaid.”

For certain, satire gets to the underbelly of what’s going on in America: in pictures and phrases.

Do we want illegal alien migrants who have cheated our immigration laws to become members of Congress? Well, Ilhan Omar is one of them. Do we want nutcases like AOC to be leading our country while trashing our country?

Should we tolerate foreign immigrants like Marxist Muslim Sohran Mamdami to run for mayor of New York City? Let’s face it, he’s a Muslim who is avowed to follow his oath, “Death to America.” It’s in his genetic makeup. It’s in his Quran. It’s his “prime directive” to destroy America. Marxism stands against the very foundation of America.

Mamdami, AOC, Mayorkas, Obama, Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Keith Ellison, Maxine Waters, Presley, Jayapal, and Detroit’s 300,000 Muslim immigrants, along with Minneapolis’ 125,000 Somalian immigrants proves conclusively that we are slowly, yet methodically losing our country to ideological terrorists bent on destroying and/or undermining our U.S. Constitution. You’ve already witnessed what’s happened to Europe. Western Culture has been terminated in country after country in Europe.

We need to take action to stop them before they possess too many of their comrades for us to stop. If you think I’m kidding, just visit Sweden, UK, France, Germany and the rest. There are 10,700 mosques in Europe. No one is safe. Western Culture isn’t safe. None of us are safe from foreign onslaught.

Most Americans do not know, or didn’t know until recently, that our federal government gangsters have been using illegal aliens to take Congress from legal American Citizens for years now!

“Decennial U.S. census figures are based on actual counts of persons dwelling in U.S. residential structures. They include citizens, non-citizen legal residents, non-citizen long-term visitors and undocumented immigrants.”

A Marine buddy of mine coined the term “urban nullification” years ago, referring to the reality that there are no “blue states,” just “blue cities” taken over by far left extremists and destroyed in every case, like L.A., San Francisco, Chicago, Baltimore, Boston and Denver, just to name a few.

Whole RED states are controlled by their BLUE population centers. In part, this is accomplished by flooding these cities with illegal aliens, who are then counted as an equal to legal American Citizens in the Census, to add extreme left congressional districts.

Every Presidential election proves that there are no “blue states.” But it has also proved that on a national level, democrats cannot win a race without “illegal” voters in the crime sanctuaries. It proves that Congress would not be narrowly divided is we were not counting non-citizens for purposes of Congressional Districting.

Note that the image above proves 2024 Harris-Walz votes came strictly from states with no Voter ID requirement. They lost every state that had some form of voter ID requirement to assure that only “legal American Citizens” could vote.

This is exactly why 100% of democrats oppose voter ID and defend their crime sanctuaries as if their entire political career depends on it, because it does!

This is why 100% of Congressional Democrats oppose every measure to end illegal foreign migration to the USA or create legitimate elections by legal American Citizens only!

A couple days ago, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced a bill to end the counting of non-citizens in the US Census.

But in May of 2024, “U.S. House Republicans passed a bill Wednesday to add a citizenship question to the census and exclude noncitizens from the official headcount when determining population for representation in Congress and electoral votes. The legislation, passed on a 206-202 party-line vote.”

However, the anti-American rogue Supreme Court blocked it!

“Since the first census in 1790, citizens and noncitizens have been included in the official population count of the U.S. due to the 14th Amendment’s requirement to include “whole numbers of persons in each State.”

Here we go again…an intentional misuse of the 14th Amendment adopted solely for the benefit of former slave families, just like Amendments 13 and 15, and not to create “anchor baby citizens” from illegal invaders in our country.

What’s interesting here is that the 14th Amendment wasn’t even adopted until July 9, 1868. Yet, our legal beagles claim that it was the 14th Amendment that requires the counting of non-citizens in our Census since 1790…???

Of course, just like “birthrights” and “gay marriage” are not mentioned in the 14th Amendment, neither is “Census” taking.

By now, every American should reasonably conclude that the mass-destruction of our Constitutional Republic, our national sovereignty and security, and all natural Rights of legal American citizens, has mostly come from our British Common Law lawyers, all of them!

Today, the 119th Congress includes 160 British Common Law lawyers, with another 54 in the U.S. Senate. That’s why anti-American British Common Law lawyers have been confirmed to our rogue federal courts, which now runs both the Legislative and Executive Branches from their unelected benches…

How do we fix this by 2026?

CRITICAL NOTE: The 14^th Amendment didn’t exist until 78-years after 1790, so it could not be the alleged source of “counting everyone” in 1790. The adoption of the U.S. Constitution had only taken place 3-years earlier in 1787, and the Bill of Rights 1-year earlier in 1789.

The first “legal American citizens” became “naturalized citizens” upon the adoption of the Constitution in 1787. The first generation of “natural born American citizens” were the children of our Founding citizens born after the adoption of the Constitution. This is why all Founders had to be exempted from the Article II natural born Citizen requirement for the office of President, later applied to the office of Vice President as well in the 12^th Amendment.

“No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution;” via true “birthright” and The Laws of Nature, jus sanguinis…

The only branch of government with constitutional authority over the matter of immigration is the Article I Branch, the legislative body. The Judicial Branch has no power over the subject whatsoever beyond the equal application and enforcement of the laws as adopted by Congress.

Since its 1979 Islamic Revolution, Iran has engaged in more than 45 years of hostility against Israel, challenging its right to exist and calling for its destruction. Leaders of Iran have many times declared Israel to be a cancerous tumor that must be removed and eradicated. This animosity has fueled decades of deadly proxy conflict, with Iran funding and arming Islamic terror organizations such as Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, and the Houthis in Yemen to attack Israel. Following through on their genocidal rhetoric, Iranian leaders have pursued a nuclear weapons program to wipe Israel out of existence.

Israel has severely weakened the military capabilities of Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the Houthis in Yemen since Hamas attacked southern Israel on October 7, 2023. Emboldened by these successes and fearing Iran to be on the verge of being able to produce nuclear weapons, Israel launched a surprise attack against Iran directly on June 13, 2025, by bombing critical nuclear and military facilities, destroying air defenses, and assassinating many of Iran’s top military, political, and scientific leaders.

But there remained several key nuclear sites that Israel could not destroy, for they were built too deep underground and were beyond the range of the bombs in Israel’s arsenal. Because of this, Israel earnestly sought the direct intervention of the United States to help complete the mission, for its military weaponry included bunker buster bombs that could reach these underground facilities. On June 21, 2025, the U.S. entered the conflict and proclaimed the mission accomplished after reportedly destroying them and other military targets.

But as U.S. and Israeli political and military leaders praised their efforts and declared victory, some U.S. and Israeli intelligence officials warned that if the damage done to Iran’s nuclear weapons program was overestimated and the current regime in Iran remains, Israel could be at war with a resurgent Iran in the near future under worse conditions, such as the direct involvement of Russia and other nations along with Iran (Ezekiel 38-39).

Many in Israeli society and its leadership can be characterized as being secular and non-religious. They are likely to have greater trust in their military strength and that of the U.S. than in God. This misdirected faith can bring seemingly short-term advantages but lead to errors in judgment and disastrous consequences.

However, a time will come in the last days when the people of Israel, faced with destruction that surpasses their ability to prevent, will seek the Lord and His goodness and be saved by Him (Hosea 3:4-5; Zechariah 12-14; Revelation 19:11-21).

Asa became king of Judah (911-870 BC) after the brief, three-year reign of his father, Abijah. He was faithful to God and did what was good and right in His sight. Asa embarked on a spiritual reformation of the kingdom by opposing idolatry and calling on his people to seek the Lord and follow Him. He tore down throughout Judah the altars to foreign gods in the high places, the sacred pillars, and the wooden images. Asa was so dedicated to this effort that he banished the sodomites from the land and removed his grandmother from being queen mother for her unrepentant idolatry against God (1 Kings 15:12-13). Because the king was loyal to God, the Lord blessed the land with peace for ten years, and the people built and prospered.

Following the decade of peace, Zerah the Ethiopian amassed an army of a million men and 300 chariots. He came to conquer Judah, who had an army of only 580,000 men. Asa remembered when his father, Abijah, was attacked by the army of King Jeroboam of Israel, which was twice the size of Judah’s, and that he and the men of Judah cried out to the Lord and trusted in Him, and the Lord helped them defeat Jeroboam with a remarkable triumph (2 Chronicles 13). Asa understood that God’s power was not limited because the army of Judah was smaller, so he prayed to the Lord:

“LORD, there is no one besides You to help in the battle between the powerful and those who have no strength; so help us, O LORD our God, for we trust in You, and in Your name have come against this multitude. O LORD, You are our God; let not man prevail against You.” (2 Chronicles 14:11)

The Lord God fought on behalf of Asa and Judah and routed the Ethiopians in a great deliverance and overwhelming victory.

On the heels of Asa’s success, God sent the prophet Azariah to encourage him to remain faithful to the Lord and not lose courage, and Asa heeded his words and continued his reforms in leading the nation to seek the Lord with a whole heart (2 Chronicles 15).

War came to Judah again in the thirty-sixth year of Asa’s reign when Baasha, king of Israel, came against Judah and built the fortress city of Ramah to prevent access to Jerusalem for religious and trade reasons. It was Baasha’s intent to use his military and economic pressure to dominate Judah and cause the kingdom to capitulate to his will.

However, Asa did not seek the Lord as he did in previous years. He robbed God by emptying His house of the silver and gold dedicated to Him. Asa added to this the gold and silver from his house and sent them to Ben-Hadad, the pagan king of Aram, in Damascus so that he would break his treaty with Baasha and cause him to withdraw from Judah. Ben-Hadad received Asa’s bribe and sent his army to seize territory in northern Israel, causing Baasha to abandon Ramah and withdraw from Judah.

Asa may have felt relieved that Baasha’s blockade was broken by Ben-Hadad, but the Lord was not pleased. He sent the prophet Hanani to rebuke Asa for his lack of trust in the Lord. Hanani reminded Asa of the huge Ethiopian army that came to devour Judah many years before and how he relied on the Lord at that time, who delivered them into his hand. By seeking Ben-Hadad to save him instead of the Lord, the greater enemy, the kingdom of Aram had escaped to become a regional power that would threaten Israel for several generations. The rest and peace Asa had when he trusted in the Lord ended, and war would be his lot for the remainder of his days.

Unlike the time when Asa listened to the word of the Lord through Azariah, he refused to humble himself before God and became enraged at Hanani, whom he threw into prison. He also began to oppress some of the people in his wrath. A few years later, Asa contracted a severe foot disease. Even in this extremity he did not seek the Lord for healing but perished relying on the physicians (2 Chronicles 16).

Approximately three centuries later, the prophet Jeremiah wrote, “Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind and makes flesh his strength, and whose heart turns away from the LORD. … Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD and whose trust is the LORD.” (Jeremiah 17:5-8)

In his pamphlet, “The American Crisis,” written in late 1776 during the Revolutionary War, Thomas Paine wrote of “the times that try men’s souls.” Most of us have faced or are facing a time that tries the soul. It may come in the form of a tough, life-altering diagnosis for yourself or a loved one, an unexpected layoff from work, or something worse. You may be wondering how you will get through this crisis or how you will be able to take care of yourself and your family. The temptation will come to doubt God’s goodness and faithfulness and seek your own way to deal with what is confronting you.

Do not be like Asa near the end of his reign, whose life finished poorly because he placed his trust in man instead of God, to his own hurt and that of Judah and Israel.

Be like Asa early in his reign when faced with an existential threat. He followed the words of his grandfather, King Solomon, who said,

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and turn away from evil.” (Proverbs 3:5-7)

Remember the times in your life when things seemed hopeless from a human standpoint, but the Lord delivered you out of dire situations and provided for you and your family. God knows all things and has more ways than you can see to work out whatever crisis you are facing for your good and to His glory (Matthew 6:25-34; Romans 8:28).

The men and women listed in Hebrews 11 are often called the “Hall of Faith” because of their trust in God that characterized their lives, and the readers of this epistle are encouraged to emulate these heroes of the Old Testament who looked forward to a better, heavenly country and a new city made by God for them. But this list ends with the ultimate example to follow, that is, Jesus Christ, who encourages us to “run with endurance the race that is set before us” because He is “the author and perfecter of our faith.” He endured excruciating suffering on the cross to completely atone for the transgressions of sinners and rose again from the dead to sit down at the right hand of the throne of God (Hebrews 12:1-3).

More than yourself or any man, Jesus Christ is utterly reliable and trustworthy. Let not your faith in Him falter, for His provision for you and salvation cannot fail. Trust in the Lord Jesus from start to finish, for He will bring you safely home when your race on earth is done.

July 6, 2025

In 2025, many people are experiencing severe stress about the state of the world and the acrimonious divisions between people. I find it extremely helpful to reflect on God’s presence in every person’s life. With that in mind, I offer this essay, excerpted from my book The Living Compass of Kindness and Compassionate Love: Essays on Love, Beauty, and the Mystical Path.

Psalm 139 of the Old Testament beautifully affirms the omnipresence of God in verses 7 through 10:

“7 Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence? 8 If I ascend to heaven, thou art there! If I make my bed in Sheol, thou art there! 9 If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 10 even there thy hand shall lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.”

It is central to the Judeo-Christian faith that God is always with each and every person, “keeping watch on the evil and the good.” (Proverbs 15:3)

Paul spoke to the men of Athens about “the God who made the world and everything in it” (Acts 17:24), stating that “he is not far from each one of us, for ‘in him we live and move and have our being.’” (Acts 17:27-28)

To me, these verses provide clues to the astounding reality that God’s omnipresent love for each human being is far more real, intimate, tender, passionate, and all-encompassing than is generally understood or experienced.

Why is this important? Humans can experience beautiful relationships of love with their mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, relatives, friends, husbands, wives, and children. Some last a lifetime, while others fail or dissipate. None of them are omnipresent. One can carry love for someone in one’s heart continuously, but that person is not present all the time, in every place. Perhaps relationships can become “quantum” in the sense that they can spiritually reach across space or time. Yet, even still, none of them are fully omnipresent.

God is the only being who loves each person with omnipresent love in a thoroughly personal way. That is momentous in itself, but its value for and impact on human life is incredible. Not only can each human being affirm that we are never alone, but we can also eventually understand that we are loved—always. We can’t necessarily rely on any human being since all of them are fallible. But, we can absolutely rely on the presence of God’s intimate and personal love for each of us. What a blessing and what a miracle!

Of course, to even consider the reality of an omnipresent God, one must accept that God exists and also have some idea of what God might be like. The Judeo-Christian God is a God of personality and a God of love, which makes it possible to have a relationship with God. But is all of that true?

No one can prove that God exists or prove what “God is like.” We can, however, use logic and what I call “the evidence of love” in the created world. To delve into those questions, I refer you to the essay in this book called “Is There a God and What Is God Like? Exploring the Evidence of Love.”

The first question to ask when one examines the idea of God being omnipresent is to confirm that there is only one Creator and Source of the infinite universe. When one says “yes” to that question (which I do), then the conclusion is that everything everywhere was not only created by God but is also part of God’s infinite, invisible, living, connected, quantum essence.

This view was reflected in Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, in Verse 4:6, when he described God as “one God and Father of us all, who is above all and through all and in all.”

To say that God is “always present” means that God is always present in all of time and all of space. By that definition, it’s impossible to travel to a point in space and time where God is not present because if that were true, then what would that point and moment consist of? There is no other creator, and nothing exists anywhere that was not created by the one intelligent source of the universe. One must also remember that both space and time are infinite in both directions, which reflects God’s nature and being as an infinite creator. Using space as an example, there is no limit to the largeness or the smallness of creation. We can always add one more number to a sum, and we can always divide a number into a smaller part.

Thus, God is present at all times, and God is present everywhere—in every wave of energy, every particle, and every thought. God’s mind, personality, and energetic essence are infinite, all-encompassing, and aware of everything. Because of that, a human can literally say, from an energetic and spiritual point of view, that “God is all of me, and I am part of God.” This reality is also expressed in the phrase “God is all there is.”

This doesn’t mean that a rock or a tree is sentient in the same way that humans are sentient, but it does mean that the mind of God is what keeps everything going, and thus, the rock and tree are part of the infinite God as well. We can logically infer that the rock and tree are resonant with the mind and energy of God in their own particular way.

What can we extrapolate from this definition of God’s omnipresence? From a practical point of view, regarding the daily life of humans, it means that God is present with everyone “all the time.” Every day. Every night. Every minute and every second, no matter what we’re doing. Some might say, “Wait! Not all the time. Even during embarrassing or unmentionable moments? Even during the moments that someone acts in an evil way or commits unspeakable crimes?”

Yes. Even then. All the time. Every microsecond, which is defined as “a millionth of a second.” In between the microseconds, as well. There’s nowhere that you can go, and nowhere you can hide where God is not present with you, watching you, being with you, and most importantly of all, loving you. Of course, this raises two enormous questions:

* Why can’t we feel God’s presence and God’s love if God is always with us?

* How can God be with someone as that person commits an evil deed?

Why humans are unaware of God’s indwelling and loving presence is answered in many doctrinal ways. I prefer to focus on how we can restore that awareness because that restoration transforms a person. I call the condition of being unaware of God’s omnipresence “the blind puppy syndrome.” Imagine a puppy that cannot see or hear or smell or feel any sensation at all and is thus completely unaware that it’s being cradled in the arms of a human who is whispering to it, stroking its head, and kissing it. The puppy, in its loneliness and confusion, continues to whimper but tragically cannot sense how close it is to love.

Humans, to varying degrees, are like that puppy. Our spiritual senses are damaged, and we cannot sense how close God is to each of us. Thus, our most important task is to work very hard to restore our awareness of God by healing our sensory inputs and opening our mind and heart to the reality of God.

What we should not do is blame God for our own broken heart and lack of spiritual sensitivity to God’s presence. A non-doctrinal answer to why we can’t feel God’s love can be answered by looking at our personal history and the history of the human race as a whole.

How much were we loved by our human parents, relatives, brothers and sisters, and all whom we met? To use an extreme example, if a child is beaten by his parents his entire life, will his capacity to feel, receive, and then give love to others be damaged? Of course it will. Human history is mostly a sad and tragic history of the death of love.

It is love that allows us to become sensitive to love. Our created nature as a human being is to be completely connected to God’s love and become a partner with God, conveying God’s love to all.

The functional answer to why we often cannot feel God’s love is that the gift of free will created the necessity for emotional and spiritual growth. Every human has to learn how to love and has to grow in his or her capacity to express divine love to others. It is not automatic or instinctual and becomes horrendously difficult when we are hurt by others. It’s also something that must be learned by every new generation of children, no matter how good their parents might have been.

Humanity has suffered as it has because it is rare to find families, societies, and nations that raise and teach their children that God lives within them and wants them to express God’s love to every human being.

When Christianity was at its best, over the last two thousand years, the ethics of love and charity multiplied, and a peaceful culture advanced. It should not be forgotten or minimized that the original teachings of Jesus about sacrificial love impacted and improved the world in an unprecedented fashion.

When religions—including Christianity—departed from that ethical center, or worse, when atheism spread, violence and tragedy were the unfortunate results. Ultimately, individual lives were impacted, for better or worse. Nothing can change the fact that every human being has their own path to follow and must find God’s love and fall in love with God on their own. It is not simple or easy, but it is something that everyone can do if they try hard enough and long enough.

Believing in God’s omnipresent embrace of love is a vital first step to finding God. But can God love us when we fall short, which most of us do every single day?

The question of whether or not God remains with someone who commits a crime or what some might call a sin is both an emotional and technical question.

The concept that “God is all there is” precludes the possibility that God can depart from someone or be absent. This can’t be emphasized enough because a common religious view is that God turns away from “sinners” and even abandons people with whom He is displeased. Thus, many people feel that God cannot possibly love them because they’re not good enough to deserve God’s love. The conviction of not being worthy of being loved by God drives a person even farther away, which is indeed a tragedy.

Remember, omnipresence means that God’s mind and heart are everywhere, all the time. If God were not omnipresent, perhaps one could imagine that God lives in a dwelling somewhere and has angels running the universe, and every once in a while, God comes and visits a person if they’re good. Some might say that God simply pushes energy out to the universe and then sits back, disconnected from the details of life.

The view of a detached God is illogical when one considers that new and potent life is always being created. A human baby, a blue jay chick, and a freshly created butterfly all share the spark of new, creative life—and love—that reflects God’s intelligent and loving presence rather than a mechanistic universe running on autopilot.

What energy is keeping the universe running? Since there is no other creative source of the universe, it must be God’s energy. What energy allows the mind and invisible thoughts and emotions of a person to continually function? What energy allows love to exist everywhere?

In all examples, it must be God’s invisible essence. Not just some mechanistic energy that is “created by God,” but rather the energy that is God. As we step through this logic, we can see that God has to be omnipresent. If He were not, love could not exist everywhere, and the universe would collapse.

But then, if God is always present, how can God allow someone to sin or commit a crime? The answer to that comes back to free will. Some might say that since free will allows a person to commit an evil deed, it would be better to remove free will. Totalitarians tend to think so and say things like: “Improve society by forcing people to be good.”

But free will should be examined in depth and cherished beyond measure because it is free will that gives each person the capacity to creatively and freely love like God. Free will gives humans the ability to become divine.

Since humans have been given free will, God doesn’t stop a person from acting in an unloving way. This doesn’t mean that God doesn’t encourage a person to be loving. It simply means that when a person ignores the universal truths of morality and goodness, God doesn’t stop the person, even though God must logically feel grief about the perpetrators of selfish acts and the victims who are harmed.

It seems to also be true that since God is working with and assisting everyone and, according to testimonies and religious texts, guiding good spirits and angels to help individuals, the effects of evil deeds are frequently blocked. To me, this is additional evidence of God’s love for all human beings. Even though God chooses to not directly stop a person from committing an evil deed, there are other steps that God takes to protect people that don’t violate the principle of free will.

Evil actions come about because of separation between each person and God. When a person cannot resonate with or understand the beauty of compassionate and unselfish love, their actions drift away from the realm of love into darker and darker arenas. It often happens so incrementally that the person doesn’t notice and ultimately—at least superficially—no longer cares.

Yet, when we examine both the good and evil deeds of history, we will discover evidence that a force of love and goodness exists in the souls of all human beings. If that were not true, the freedom to be evil would have created an irredeemably dark and hopeless world. But the light of the human soul cannot be and has never been extinguished. Love continues, in every century and year and day.

This is evidence that “the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable,” as it says in Romans 11:29. No one is irredeemable.

What does it really mean, for each person, that God is omnipresent? A practical result of this view is that we can have confidence that the indwelling God lives in and as each person but also relates to each person as a separate being—outside of each person. Thus, we can know that we are all temples of God while, at the same time, we can pray to and communicate with the God who is much bigger than each of us. This was affirmed by Jan van Ruusbroec, the fourteenth-century Dutch mystic who wrote, “God in the depths of us receives God who comes to us: it is God contemplating God.”¹

To be constantly aware that “God is all of me and I am part of God” provides indescribable solace. No one can be closer to us than God. No one knows us better or more intimately than God.

Genesis 1:27 states, “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” In spite of this assertion, God is generally viewed as a male creator. However, the view of God as the sole creator of the universe leads inevitably to the conclusion that since God created both male and female, God must indeed possess both of those attributes within one infinitely complex personality.

Consider the idea that “God is all there is” and the reality that women exist. As men know, women are very different from men. If a woman can also say that “God is all of me, and I am part of God,” it means that God’s feminine essence lives within and as that woman. It means that the spiritual, mental, and physical traits of women were created by a God who shares those traits, as God also shares the traits of men.

The logic behind this concept is very simple and is expressed in Romans 1:20: “Ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, namely, his eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.”

This verse refers to the “artist-creation” model. If an artist knows absolutely nothing about women, how they look or feel or think, or anything else at all, then that artist will not be able to paint a picture of a woman. Thus, since God created both men and women and sunsets and puppies, one can discern something about God’s character, nature, mind, and heart.

It might seem strange to use logic as a tool to discover God, but why shouldn’t we? In fact, since all humans understand logic to some degree, it can be safely said that God is supremely logical. Among many other traits.

These ideas will seem like heresy to some, but they should not. It doesn’t mean that there are two Gods: one male and one female. It simply demonstrates that God is so huge and so complicated that every person can say, “God is all of me.” Every person can feel loved by God in the most intimate fashion possible.

God’s omnipresence turns out to be the reason that God is so completely personal to every human being. It also demonstrates that the love that God created in each individual is logical proof that life continues beyond the death of the physical body. If we accept that God is eternal and that God loves each individual in a deeply personal way, then we can safely assume that an eternal God would have every reason to create a spiritual world where each person can continue to live with God forever.

This also affirms the value of each person’s unique identity and why the theories of reincarnation and infinite universes, i.e., the “multiverse,” make no sense at all. Since each person is a projection of one unique “particle” of God’s infinite personality, each of us can relate to a unique part of God that corresponds only to us. That is very special indeed. If we are all destined to have an intense, mystical, personal relationship of love with God, living as God’s literal temple, it would not make sense for individuals to reincarnate with multiple identities or have an infinite number of identical “John Smiths,” each living in a different layer of a multiverse. Why would God do that? From the point of view of love, it is an unworkable premise. I address the issues of identity and reincarnation in more depth in the essay “The Beautiful Gifts of the Spirit World.”

Identity is important to God, and every human being personifies the reality that all of them are priceless and beloved children and partners of a God who is not only immense but also indwelling and personal.

And, most of all, omnipresent.

In October, 2024, a group of 5th grade girls from the Legacy Traditional School in Surprise, AZ, plotted to murder a boy and make it look like a suicide.

This information just came from a newly released police report. One of the girls said she was “in a relationship” (at age 10??) with the boy, and that he had “cheated on her.,” so she wanted him dead. Four of her female classmates joined her in plotting to trap him in the boys restroom and stab him to death. The plot was foiled by a student who overheard the plans, and told their parents, who reported it to police.

ONLY THREE OF THE FAMILIES SHOWED REMORSE! The fourth student allegedly laughed during the interview with authorities, and her parent appeared unfazed over the murder plot. See the tie-in?

THAT, may be the most horrible thing of all, and is definitely the attitude that is causing our society to crumble.

You may already have heard of this incident, and tossed it in the “old news” bin, but not so fast.

Parents have babies and essentially, turn them over the the state. That is how our society began to fall apart.

Starting with Gloria Steinem, in the 1970’s, and still today, women are told they shouldn’t stay home and raise families. It is somehow beneath them. Far better to leave your children to be raised by strangers, and buy a bigger house, drive a fancier car, or own a bunch of designer clothes.

Gloria Steinem was a Marxist ploy.

So was Barrack Obama’s message. Remember Obama’s infomercial in 2012, about “The Life of Julia”?? The little child was shown to have a better life when not in her family’s care.

Listen up, America, whispered the Communists in your ear…THE STATE RAISES THE CHILD. Move along to your lives of material greed. Children? Abort or ignore them. Day care and preschools sprung up, and millions of little Julias were born then tossed.

Family is our most important societal bedrock.

Those who don’t remember this are caught living it. Those who don’t care to pay attention to “politics” may have no clue, but, all over the country, women were taught to procreate and then ignore, Keep them if you want, but never forget who comes first. SELF!

This is what causes situations like in the Legacy Traditional School.

Parental guidance is a sine qua non of a sane world. Those who have children must raise them, love them hug and listen to them, help them to navigate an increasingly complex world.

If they act antsy in class because they needed to ask mom or dad something important, but were hustled to the school bus instead, give them drugs. Today’s cure for everything. Right?

Thank God for a few of the parents in Surprise, AZ, who acted when they learned of the impending horror. Without them, a young boy might have been another casualty of the times.

The End of Times? Many think it is that, where Lucifer walks the halls of our government, and many, completely clueless citizens repeatedly elect him and his gang to make our laws.

I won’t go on…Those who don’t care won’t have made it this far in the article. This is a message to those who DO care and want to help.

Yes, we elected a different kind of President; many of you are happy about that, many would have preferred to go on with gay story hours in schools, illegal invaders murdering and spreading drugs and crime. Trump believes in family.

If I know America well enough, I believe that the strength of the family, and its place in our future freedom is something around which we can all come together.

Get off your couch and out the door, to help good things happen in your town. You don’t even have to get involved in those scary politics. Help at the library. Read to a children’s story hour – displacing a gender dysphoric with pink balloons stuffed under his sweater. Work with an after-school care group at your church OR set one up! There are so many things we all can do to help

Bless you for being one who tried.

The DEMAND for the products and transportation fuels made from fossil fuels continues to increase while the State has only focused on choking off the SUPPLY.

California’s “Green” and “Net Zero” policymakers that wish to “transition away from fossil fuels” have focused on reducing just the SUPPLY of in-state oil production and refining to reduce emissions but have offered no backup plan to maintain the supply chain of the products and fuels to support the 4th largest economy in the world.

The States’ contribution to global emissions is a small percentage, roughly 0.75%. To put that into perspective, if the “big earthquake” hit California, and the entire state fell into the Pacific Ocean, there would be less than a 1% reduction in Worldwide emissions. The amount of money paid by the 40 million Californians to meet those net-zero green policies is staggering!

“Green” and “Net Zero” policymakers mistakenly believe that wind and solar renewable ENERGY will replace fossil fuel ENERGY!

Today, we’re a materialistic society. Wind and solar cannot make EV’s, asphalt, tires, or any of the products or fuels that are made from fossil fuels.

REALITY CHECK: Fossil Fuels and wind and solar do different things:

• Fossil fuels are the supply chain source for all the products and transportation fuels that are demanded by economies, societies, and all the infrastructures.
• Wind and solar (made from fossil fuels), can ONLY generate ELECTRICITY.

As reported by Californians for Energy Independence, California’s Economy is Supported by Oil and Gas, so, let’s look at the States’ demands for the products and transportation fuels that so-called renewables like wind and solar CANNOT make for society, as they can ONLY generate electricity under favorable weather conditions.

The West Coast gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuels market are isolated from other supply/demand centers as California is an energy island isolated from the States East of the Sierra Mountains. The Sierra Mountains are a natural barrier that prevents the state from pipeline access to any of that excess oil from fracking, or from transportation fuels manufactured East of the Sierra Mountains.

Refinery Closures:

• Last year, in October 2024, Phillips 66 announced that it would close its Wilmington-area refining complex this year, which will further reduce in-state gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuels production capacity, wiping out more than 8% of the state’s crude oil processing capacity. Losing another 1.3 billion gallons in annual gasoline output will only worsen the state’s supply challenges to meet the demands.
• The recent announcement that the Valero Benica Refinery in Northern California will be closing by the end of 2026 was disappointing, but shockingly, a prelude to more closures in the future. The Valero refinery at Benicia represents almost 9% of the state’s crude oil processing capacity to meet the materialistic demands of the States’ residents and businesses.

Rising Regulatory Costs for Oil and Gas:

California’s environmental regulations have driven up costs for oil and gas operations, further limiting in-state production. The Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) and Cap-and-Trade program add significant expenses, with LCFS compliance costing refiners $0.15–$0.20 per gallon and Cap-and-Trade allowances totaling $150–$200 million annually for the industry per the California Air Resources Board Cap-and-Trade Program Data. Permitting delays and environmental reviews also burdens producers, with compliance costs up to $500,000 per well. These costs have contributed to a 40% drop in California’s oil production since 2000, accelerating refinery closures and increasing reliance on foreign oil, heightening national security risks.

Fuel demand from in-state refineries:

California transportation fuel demands for airports, trucks, and cars have staggering numbers:

• Jet fuel: With all its 145 airports, including 9 international airports and 41 military airports, the demand is 13 million gallons of aviation fuel daily.  Several of those airports have direct pipelines to local refineries. In 2019, California consumed 16.7% of the national total of jet fuel, making it the largest consumer of jet fuel in America.
• Diesel: Diesel fuel is the second largest transportation fuel used in California, consuming 10 million gallons a day of diesel to support the state’s is trucking of products from 3 of the busiest shipping ports in America.
• Gasoline: For its 30 million vehicles, California is the second-largest consumer of motor gasoline among the 50 states consuming 42 million gallons a day of gasoline, just behind Texas. Gasoline is just 1 of the more than 6,000 products made from fossil fuels to meet the materialistic demands of societies and economies.
• Arizona and Nevada: California refineries supply 45% of Arizona’s and 88% of Nevada’s transportation fuel demands for their airports, trucks, and cars so any disruption in California impacts all three states.

In the more immediate term, China has plans for multiple new refineries, with at least five projects expected to be completed by 2028, and another three new refineries by 2030, contributing to a broader shift towards integrated petrochemical facilities. These eight new Asian refineries coming online by 2030 are a reality that China will be coming to the rescue to meet the transportation fuel demands of California!

California has almost 400,000 miles of roadways used by the State’s 30 million vehicles. Those roadways are heavily dependent on road taxes from fuels that contribute more than $8.8 billion annually, for planning, constructing, and maintaining California’s publicly funded roadways. The same gas tax revenues that also funds many environmental programs and the high-speed rail project.

That $8.8 billion revenue source from fuel taxes will diminish in the years ahead as heavier EV’s are being mandated in California to replace the lighter internal combustion engine vehicles. Fuel taxes that contribute to the $8.8 billion to maintain the roads are a result of California having the highest gas taxes in the USA.

Over the last several decades, California’s passion to transition away from fossil fuels has overregulated and overly burdened just the SUPPLY of oil production and refining but has not reduced the increasing materialistic DEMANDS of the State for the more than 6,000 products and transportation fuels made from those fossil fuels. Thus, China is savoring the future with their many refineries coming online to meet the DEMANDS of California.

California has obviously not learned much in the 50 years since the Oil Embargo of 1973, as the following persist:

• Rather than increase crude oil production from its terminal decline in California, Governor Gavin Newsom supports importing oil from foreign countries to meet the demands of Californians, and remains oblivious that maritime transport, including oil tankers, is estimated to contribute about 3% of global GHG emissions and 27% of freight transport emissions.
• California, the 4^th largest economy in the world, was virtually independent of foreign oil imports in 1973, relying on just 5% of crude oil imports to meet the demands of the State. But due to its relentless regulations and restrictions over the last 50 years to reduce in-state oil production the State now imports more than 70% of its crude oil demand from foreign countries like Ecuador, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Colombia to run the States’ 9 International airports, 41 Military airports, and 3 of the largest shipping ports in America.

Not only does California’s la-la land have a minuscule impact on worldwide emissions but is a national security risk to the entire United States of America due to its growing dependence on refineries in China to meet the humongous demands for transportation fuels to support the demands of the States’ international and military airports, and the diesel fuel to support the demands for trucking of the products received at three of the busiest terminals in America to the rest of the country.

July 4, 2025

Let’s celebrate July 4th because every American lives in the most profoundly fortunate “essential country” in the world. America’s Constitution remains the hallmark for governance on this planet. Every citizen enjoys the freedom to chase his or her dreams, live their lives in peace, and succeed in hundreds of lines of work, play or choices.

Every person in America—-black, white, brown, yellow, or red, might kneel on his or her knees and thank their lucky stars to be living in America.

At the same time, recent polls show 82 percent of conservative Americans love America. An appallingly 64 percent of liberal Americans condemn America. A growing number of youthful Americans hate America. That same group demonstrates against America, spits on Old Glory, burns the Stars and Stripes, and generally shows their unpatriotic feelings toward their own country.

Because of our brilliant, one-of-a-kind, U.S. Constitution, such adverse behavior against America enjoys the freedom to spit-on and burn our flag. Which means they spit on our sacred Constitution.

The question grows: where would you move to enjoy a more satisfying, fulfilling, and happy life? Perhaps North Korea? If you spit-on or burned their flag, you would be executed on the spot. You would live in poverty without choices your entire life. What about moving to Communist China? You would be executed in a heartbeat if you challenged the CCP dictator. You would live among 1.4 billion people, massive pollution, and few choices. What about moving to Russia? You would immediately be conscripted into the Army to fight and die in the Ukraine war.

What about moving to India? You would suffer polluted water, polluted air, scant food, lack of education, rivers that run like sewers to the sea, and 60 percent of Indians lack a toilet let alone water purification systems. Special note: 4,000,000 Indians are born in the streets, live in the streets and die in the streets of the major cities like Mumbai, India. If you ever saw it for yourself, like I have, you would thank God for being born in America.

If you moved to Africa, you would not enjoy a shower, toilet or running water in most of Africa. You would not be able to educate your children as illiteracy is the dominant reality in Africa. You would most likely be embroiled in tribal wars. You would be constantly standing in line for food. You would most likely have been one of the 15 million Africans who died from AIDS because they lack medical, birth control and sanitation to stop the disease. Also, massive illiteracy in Africa remains a steppingstone for major diseases.

What about Mexico or Central America where drug gangs dominate? Why do you think over 25 million illegal aliens who have invaded America didn’t stop in Mexico to enjoy that country’s endless opportunities?

Every time we hear Whoopi Goldberg, a black actor, scream about racism in America, she doesn’t mention that her personal worth of $67 million came from the wallets of all those white people. Self-professed racist LeBron James never mentions that his $1 billion bank account came from white people. We can show that African-Americans appreciate that America houses the MOST black, brown, and yellow millionaires and billionaires on this planet.

For the record, about 4.0 million children die annually of starvation around the world. Another 8.0 million adults die in horrible poverty, annually. Millions of people teeter on the brink of starvation and horrible living conditions. Even the 800,000 homeless in America can tap into food pantries and food kitchens.

So what’s good about America?

What about every kid in America being able to play football, baseball, basketball, tennis, hockey, soccer, swimming, rugby, lacrosse, rodeo, surfing, windsurfing, scuba diving, triathlon and another 100 activities for self-fulfillment.

Everybody may enjoy their own path toward God in thousands of churches that fit their spiritual needs. Even the most despicable and deadly religion on this planet, Islam, enjoys freedom to express itself in America.

Every young person enjoys K-12 education to better their minds, pursue their athletics and become a viable, contributing person in America’s workforce. Such knowledge allows them to earn a job, live in a house or apartment, drive a car, grocery shop and buy merchandise that gives them many choices in life.

Most Americans enjoy fantastic travels around the world by cruise lines, flights, sailboats, backpacking, scuba diving, skiing, bicycle travel—-literally—-just about any choice you might imagine. Americans travel the world. Out of 195 countries in the world, only Western countries afford their citizens the ability to travel around this planet. That’s less than 50 countries!

How about parades? What about rodeos? Anyone stuff themselves at a church social? How about Christmas parades? How about the Thanksgiving Parade in New York City?

In every imaginable path possible, we Americans choose our lives to fit our needs. We can be farmers or lawyers or police officers or mayors of cities. We can become teachers or businesspersons or nurses or run for president of America.

We see every conceivable sport on the planet, including “Curling.” We can mountain bike race in the Leadville 100. We can run across Death Valley. We can kite-surf off Malibu. We can attend the Indy 500 or the Daytona 500.

We enjoy the finest medical care in the world. Our traffic system speeds all of us toward our destinations seven days a week. We enjoy environmental laws to keep our air cleaner, our rain purer, and our eco-systems intact.

We may join every kind of organization such as Lion’s Club, Rotary Club, Scuba Diving Clubs, sky diving clubs, Golf Clubs, and Pickle Ball. How do you beat that in any other country in the world? Answer: you can’t. There is not another country in the world like America for personal opportunity and choices.

Why are we an “essential country?” We command the economics that billions of people around the world rely upon. We buy and sell goods that benefit the world. We are the largest market on the planet. We are innovative, creative, and idealistic.

For certain, this appreciation of America could go on for pages and pages. We’re the luckiest people in the world to live in the land of opportunity. Women enjoy equal footing in the arts, in music, in acting, in sports…thank you Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham, Coco Goff, Serena Williams…and millions of high school and college female stars…thank you Riley Gaines…all the way to female governors, mayors and corporate heads across America.

Thank you to every man and woman who has served our country in the Army, Marines, Navy, Coast Guard and Air Force for the past 250 years. Thank you to all our police officers. Thank you to all our fire fighters. Thank our Constitution for law and order in America.

This July 4th, 2025, let’s raise Old Glory to the sky. Let’s look forward to the “GOOD” of America. Let’s look forward to the “PROMISE” of America. Let’s thank our lucky stars that we live, work and flourish in America.

That thanks comes from a little old farm boy from LeRoy, Michigan.

July 4, 2025

• Next year is the semiquincentennial of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence.
• What shall we do with the unique and special date in our history?
• Let’s look at the reasons why we declared independence from Great Britain.

Next year with be the 250th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. Over the next 365 days I expect to see plenty of opportunities to remember the date. I want to start by remembering the reason why we declared independence in the first place.

Grievances

Every nation has a Fourth of July, but only in the United States is that date Independence Day. As the semiquincentennial, or 250th anniversary, of our Declaration of Independence approaches, I think why we separated from Great Britain is worth a closer look.

Before declaring themselves independent from Great Britain, the colonies provided 27 specific grievances to justify themselves. Sadly, we can claim those same grievances against the federal government today.

Legislative Grievances

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

Declaration of Independence

Have you noticed how often federal judges feel they can overrule federal law? I’m not saying there aren’t times when laws, regulations, and executive orders are not unconstitutional, but more and more it seems that judges place their opinions above the supreme law of the land. Over the past few months we’ve had hundreds of examples of judges issuing preliminary injunctions and temporary restraining orders allegedly preventing Executive Orders from taking effect. Just like King George, the federal government attempts to rule by edict rather than law.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

Declaration of Independence

Immigration is not a new issue. While today the problem is people illegally entering the country, while 250 years ago the problem was the king not letting people immigrate to the colonies. That is just another example of centralized rules infringing on the rights of others.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

Declaration of Independence

OK, the federal government hasn’t dissolved the state legislatures or called them to meet somewhere else, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t found ways to fatigue them into compliance. After all, the federal government has been bribing the states with embezzled money for decades, threatening to remove funding if the states do not comply with their wishes.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

Declaration of Independence

Currently in the United States all three branches of government have obstructed laws regarding immigration into the United States. Since the Constitution does not delegate to the United States the power to regulate immigration, the laws passed by Congress for that purpose are unconstitutional and therefore void. Yet courts have repeatedly upheld them in violation of their own oath of office.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

Declaration of Independence

The courts have repeatedly obstructed the administration of justice by refusing to assent to state laws that exercise powers not delegated to the United States. While not for establishing judiciary powers, the federal government has interfered with many state’s apportionment and election of members of the House of Representatives.

Abuse of Power Grievances

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

Declaration of Independence

If there is anything that accurately describes the federal government, it’s the multitude of new offices Congress has created, along with the swarms of officers that harass our people, our businesses, and violate our rights. My research shows that 90% of executive agencies are exercising powers not delegated to the United States, making not only their rules and regulations unconstitutional, but their very existence as well.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

Declaration of Independence

You may not have noticed, but we have standing armies with us today. Sure, their budget’s are only good for two years, but Congress has consented to these armies.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

Declaration of Independence

Well, at least there’s one grievance the federal government hasn’t repeated… at least not yet.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

Declaration of Independence

I have two words for you: “United Nations.” People from Congress, Presidential Administrations, and courts have been trying to make us subject to their whims for decades. I guess they forgot that under the Supremacy Clause, only treaties made under the authority of the United States are the supreme law of the land.

For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

Declaration of Independence

OK, there’s a second grievance the federal government hasn’t violated yet. After all, no one is quartering troops yet. That said, federal courts have routinely claimed that law enforcement is immune from prosecution. Isn’t that a form of mock trial?

Monetary Grievances

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

Declaration of Independence

Congress has cut off trade with other parts of the world, but we did give them that power in Article I, Section 8, Clause 3. However, the question of imposing taxes on us without our consent is another matter.

Yes, in Article I, Section 1, Clause 1, we did give Congress the power to tax us, but that power is limited.

The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States;

U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 8, Clause 1

You see, Congress can only collect taxes to do three things: For paying the debts of the United States, for the common defense of the United States, and for the general welfare of the United States. Notice the capital “U” and capital “S.” Not for the welfare of the states or the people, but only for the United States. The same United States the Tenth Amendment states:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

U.S. Constitution, Amendment X

Since we only consented for Congress to collect taxes for those three purposes, every time Congress uses tax dollars for something else it is not only unconstitutional and without our consent, but it’s also embezzlement.

Due Process Grievances

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:

Declaration of Independence

Have you heard of Administrative Law Courts? These are unconstitutional courts, where you are denied due process and everyone there, including your lawyer, works for the federal government.

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:

Declaration of Independence

What would you call declaring people “enemy combatants” and sending them to Guantanamo Bay? That’s not only transporting us beyond the seas for pretended offenses, but establishing an arbitrary government.

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

Declaration of Independence

Unlike the colonies, the states weren’t created by the federal government, but the other way around. So when Congress, the President, and federal courts substitute their opinions and agenda for the Constitution that created them, they are acting unconstitutionally. You see, when the feds exercise powers not delegated to them, they are effectively taking away the state’s charters and abolishing their laws. They just don’t suspend our state legislatures, they effectively make them meaningless, investing themselves with the power to legislate at the state level.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

Declaration of Independence

What happens when those who take an oath to support the Constitution, instead violate that oath? Is that not abdicating their role as government? Is that not waging war on our rights?

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

Declaration of Independence

How much damage has been done by federal policies? They prevented people from cleaning up forests, which leads to large fires, while the EPA made rules that led to poisoned rivers. These rules and regulations, none of which are law, are enforced as if they were. Does that not destroy the lives of our people?

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

Declaration of Independence

Does this sound like importing large numbers of foreign gang members into the country to traffic in drugs, sex, and people?

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

Declaration of Independence

Well, they weren’t taken on the high seas, neither were they forced to bear arms again their own country, but the federal government has used the draft to conscript its own citizens to fight for it.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

Declaration of Independence

The previous administration brought in foreign inhabitants to make war against us. Not the American Indian, but the Mexican cartels.

Conclusion

As the semiquicentennial of the signing of the Declaration of Independence approaches, I expect there will be several special celebrations. I think the best way we could celebrate is to both remember why we separated from Great Britain and to remember those reasons as we examine the actions of our federal government now.

By all means, celebrate this Independence Day. Please remember though, if we read and study the Constitution and if we are prepared to defend and assert our rights, then every day can be an independence day.

Once a year for 249 years, Americans take the day off work, buy some fireworks, beer, and food for the grill, to celebrate USA Independence on July 4th. But 249 years into this annual tradition, how many Americans know why we celebrate this day each year?

It was April 19, 1775 – when a band of average Citizens, a militia made up of farmers, business owners and local bar patrons, decided they had had enough taxation without representation from the governing body in England. They had enough of King George III’s tyrannical central power and British rule over the New World.

The Shot Heard Round the World at Concord: April 19, 1775, brought together a group of ordinary people determined to do something extraordinary… That started our War for Independence from Great Britain and British Rule that would last for eight years until 1783, when the British monarchy acknowledged the independence of the original Thirteen Colonies, leading to the establishment of the United States as an independent and sovereign nation.

Our Declaration of Independence would not be written or adopted until July 4, 1776, declared our Independence Day, although the war to win our independence would wage on for seven more years.

25,534 American combatants lost their lives in the eight-year armed conflict, according to historian Howard H. Peckham’s 1974 book The Toll of Independence. Each life was lost to purchase our freedom and independence!

Since that first war to gain our freedom and independence as a free sovereign people, millions of other ordinary citizens have voluntarily given of themselves in extraordinary service for our freedom and independence.

But for how many years, decades, or generations have these extraordinary sacrifices and blessings of a few, been taken for granted by those who have so greatly benefited from it all?

What is our commitment to the eternal vigilance necessary in defense of the freedom and independence that they purchased for us at such a high price to them?

What will we be celebrating tomorrow?

Today, we live under a tyranny not so different from that which our nation’s Founders took a stand against 250 years ago. As we watch the unelected British Common Law courts in our country run roughshod over the two elected branches and all Americans, how much freedom and independence do we really have today? Is this not British Rule via British Law in our courts, used to undermine Constitutional Law?

Look no further than what our government did to our country over what we now know, was the CV19 scamdemic. Look no further than the mobs taking over our cities in direct opposition to the foundations of freedom, liberty and justice. Look no further than the global Marxists and Islamic Terrorism supporters in our society and halls of government.

Where are the patriots of our time and other than enjoying a BBQ, fireworks and a cold beer tomorrow, what are we doing to protect and preserve freedom, liberty, justice and our sovereign independence for all future generations?

I can and will celebrate the sacrifices that so many made for us in the past… but I struggle to celebrate our current generations on July 4th. Every July 4th for years now, I can’t help but wonder if we even deserve the fruits of freedom, purchased for us by only a few, so long ago… Only to watch Americans refer to “nationalism” (aka national pride) like it’s a dirty word! Only to watch young Americans burn our flag in the streets while carrying the flags of foreign nations and known terror organizations…?

I will gladly celebrate all who gave it all for us. But as for the millions who take it all for granted without securing these blessings for our posterity? Not so much…

How about you?

President Trump is a slow-learner when it comes to the issue of international communism.  One day he is attacking the idea of a communist mayor for New York City and the next day he announces a trade deal with the communist dictatorship of Vietnam. The latter resulted when the U.S. Congress defunded the war effort.

A total of 58,000 Americans sacrificed and died to save South Vietnam from communism. Let’s don’t forget that on July 4^th.

My friend, Vietnam veteran Larry Grathwohl, wrote the 1976 book, Bringing Down America, explaining that the “comrades” of the Weather Underground, a communist terrorist group active in the United States, were North Vietnamese Army troops and their communist terrorist front organization, the Viet Cong, operating in South Vietnam. Indeed, declassified intelligence information demonstrates links between the Weather Underground terrorist movement and the Communist Party USA and the intelligence services of Cuba and the Soviet Union. Larry had come back from the Vietnam War only to find that he had to do battle with communists in the United States. He did so as an FBI informant in the group.

That is our situation today but Trump doesn’t seem to realize it.

His nemesis, Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City, is an international Marxist and Islamist to boot. They are united in hatred of America. Yet here is President Trump making Vietnam into a trading partner for the United States, subject to a small tariff on their goods entering the U.S.

He is making the same mistake that Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger made with Red China.

In this case, a small tariff on communist Vietnam’s exports into the United States will still undermine our domestic producers, especially Louisiana’s shrimp industry.

Frozen warmwater shrimp from Vietnam, Ecuador, India, and Indonesia have been damaging the American shrimp industry for years. Some in the industry have been asking for tariffs of up to 100 percent on shrimp and crawfish imports.

The mistakes made by Trump in his dealings with Vietnam are reminiscent of the mistakes Nixon and Kissinger made with Red China – thinking these communist countries were going to go capitalist if they had access to our markets. Instead, they ripped us off.

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro has called Vietnam essentially a colony of Communist China and had warned, “Vietnam, don’t dump shrimp into our markets and put the good people of Louisiana out of work.”

Navarro emerged in Trump’s first and second terms as a spokesman for the established fact that Red China was looting our economy to achieve world domination. Navarro, formerly a professor of economics and public policy at the Paul Merage School of Business at the University of California, Irvine, understood the national security implications and directed the great film, “Death By China: How America Lost Its Manufacturing Base.”

As we prepare to celebrate Independence Day, let’s remember that the  American backing of South Vietnam was an honorable and noble mission for freedom. We are also backing South Korea for the same reason. It is why we should continue to back Ukraine – and the Republic of China on Taiwan.

Sadly, the “Greatest Generation” of Americans ended up as cannon fodder for the communist revolution, since the Nazis were defeated but the communists were permitted to regroup in Soviet Russia, take Eastern Europe, and wage wars in such places as Korea, Vietnam and now Ukraine.

Trump seems to have had a Damascus Road conversion on Russia’s motives in Ukraine, and that is a good thing. He once thought he could make a deal, only to discover that Vladimir Putin still wanted to take over the country. At the recent NATO meeting, he was asked whether it is possible that Putin has territorial ambitions beyond Ukraine, and Trump responded that “it’s possible.”

Yet here he is making a trade deal with Communist Vietnam, which was supported by Red China and Soviet Russia in its war of aggression against South Vietnam. The relationship is still solid. Last year Putin visited Vietnam to sign economic agreements with the dictatorship. He even agreed to build nuclear power plants in Vietnam.

A “Treaty on Principles of Friendly Relations between the Russian Federation and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam” was signed on June 16, 1994 in Moscow, indicative of their “strategic partnership.”

Making a favorable trade deal with Vietnam is a disgrace that the Trump Administration cannot defend. They only can do so by papering over the fact that Vietnam is a communist dictatorship that treats its workers like slaves for the state.

Before I talk about this issue again, do you want to know the truth, or just be entertained? All of your Rights depend upon the truth!

Fox News is reporting, Trump to begin enforcing birthright citizenship order this morning. The only order from the Supreme Court on the matter is a slap-down of the lower courts that have been trying to unlawfully run the country from their bench, without any such power or authority. The actual issue of what is or isn’t a “birthright citizen” has yet to be ruled on by the high court.

“Trump administration lawyers told a federal judge Tuesday that they could begin enforcing President Donald Trump‘s executive order ending birthright citizenship before the end of July — moving quickly to enforce the controversial order just days after a landmark Supreme Court ruling.”

It’s not “ending birthright citizenship,” which the government has no right to play around with at all. It’s ending the abuse of the courts (including the U.S. Supreme Court) that have intentionally misapplied the reconstruction amendment to over 40 million illegal invaders, when the amendment was designed solely for former slaves and their families in the late 1800s. A class of people that has not existed ever since…

A “birthright” is…

• a right or privilege that you are entitled to at birth
• an inheritance coming by right of birth
• personal characteristics that are inherited at birth

There are two concepts in play concerning “right of birth” in this regard. One comes from the Laws of Nature, Jus Sanguinis, and the other comes from man-made legal doctrines, Jus soli .

The cornerstone of Constitutional Law in the USA was established in our Declaration of Independence, upon which, all else was erected.

“to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them”

U.S. Constitutional Law is based upon Natural Law and the inalienable Natural Rights of a free people. In this case, the natural right of a child to be born a legal citizen of the same society of the natural birth Father, by way of natural inheritance at birth, Jus Sanguinis.

The simple fact is, the Jus Soli theory is a direct infringement upon Jus Sanguinis rights of birth. It allows governments to lay claim to foreigners born in their country, despite the parents being legal citizens elsewhere. It also allows a government to replace it’s natural born Citizens with illegal aliens who give birth to a child on our soil, illegally!

In the USA, all “Rights” are Natural Rights of a free people. These rights are inherited by our offspring at birth, via the Natural Law right of inheritance known as, and recognized throughout the world, as Jus Sanguinis.

This is all codified clearly in a 17th Century global Treaties titled The Law of Nations.

“As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights.”

This is the definition of a “birthright citizen.” It’s also the definition of “natural born Citizen” mentioned in Article II of the Constitution. The only other form of legal citizenship in the USA is “naturalized citizenship” via the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Laws passed by Congress.

The courts have intentionally gotten this wrong ever since the late 1800s in a “landmark case” UNITED STATES v. WONG KIM ARK. This case opinion must be overturned or clarified by today’s Supreme Court in order to right this wrong!

But as I point out all the time…the courts have no power or authority over Congress or the Executive Branch. Their “court opinions” are not laws and they do not enjoy supremacy over the laws adopted by Congress, or the administration of our laws via the Executive Branch.

It’s time to settle this matter correctly, once and for all!

July 3, 2025

Not long ago, I ran into a long-lost acquaintance who always assumed––always incorrectly––that I was simpatico with her leftist leanings. Maybe it was my long hair or dangling earrings or that I liked to listen to Joe Cocker.

I remembered that she always appeared distressed, not because of a cancer diagnosis or trouble with her two children or a problem in her marriage or with her job as private secretary to a malpractice lawyer, but because of one or another of the endless planet-killing problems that occupy the daily bad thoughts and nightly nightmares of liberals.

Her list was long, and always growing––saving the whales, redistributing income, ending poverty, air pollution, land pollution,  the colossal hoax of climate change (as explained by the founder of the Weather Channel, John Coleman), human rights, animal rights, women’s rights, gun control, world hunger, universal (free) healthcare, big business and, of course capitalism! Oh, did I omit the U.S. Constitution?!

So, when we ran into each other, I wasn’t surprised that this woman––who probably should have been on antidepressants or antianxiety meds for decades––looked her ole glum self.

“How are you?” I asked, “your kids, your husband, your job, your life?”

“No problems in those departments,” she said. “But look at the world! The news!”

DIDN’T TAKE HER LONG…

“What are you referring to?”, I asked her.

“Oh, the news,” she opined, “I think Netanyahu has ruined Israel!”

“Well, a lot of people don’t like it when Jews fight back,” I said.

“But it’s so disproportionate,” she shot back.

It’s not often that you have a ready answer for people with whom you disagree. Usually, you think of the perfect comeback when you wake up at two in the morning.

But as it happened, I simply had the cold hard facts on my side, so it was almost shooting fish in a barrel to answer this Jew-hating, Israel-loathing liberal.

DO YOU REMEMBER?

My response to her came in a series of questions.

“Do you remember,” I asked her, “when we watched the entire Iraq War –– from 2003 to 2011––on TV, for years? And the endless articles and commentaries and news coverage, all day and all night?”

“Of course,” she responded.

“Well, even before that,” I said, “going back to the sixties, do you remember the years-on end coverage of the Vietnam War––from 1964 to 1973––and the morning and afternoon and nightly news coverage and commentaries the impassioned anti-war demonstrations across the country protesting this war?”

“You know I do,” she said. “I was on the frontline of those protests. I was with the so-called traitor Jane Fonda all the way!’

STILL GOING DOWN MEMORY LANE

“How about the Korean War in the 1950s,” I asked her, “which wasn’t covered so extensively on TV––TV was relatively new in that decade––but which a million articles were written about, not to mention the extensive radio commentary?”

“Okay,” she said, “and your point?”

“One more question,” I begged her indulgence. “How about World War11 in the 1940s, when 140,000 died in Hiroshima and 74,000 died in Nagasaki after we bombed them?” And that is not to omit the massive, overwhelming loss of life from that war––70–85 million deaths.

“Stop with the statistics, already!” she blurted out. “What is your point?”

INDEED…THE POINT

What I told my long-lost acquaintance was that in every war I named, in the massive injuries and deaths that resulted from these wars, in the overwhelmingly panoramic and international coverage these wars received on TV and radio, in the literally trillions of words that had been written and spoken in covering all these wars, the word “proportionality” had never been expressed––not in verbal broadcasts, not in writing––NOT ONCE before Jewish warriors fought back against the savages that attacked them on October 7, 2023.

NEVER!

Look it up. Do your own research.

THE P WORD

“Why is that?” I asked her.

As her eyes widened and she searched for words, I volunteered my own theory.

“I’ll tell you why,” I said. “Because the people who chant ‘proportionality’ hate Jews and detest Israel, but they try to cloak their long-held hatred in a transparent attempt to sound virtuous and caring for…. whom?

“Is it for the Hamas Arab rapists who were so violent that they broke the pelvic bones of their victims and then took babies out of their arms and put them in ovens to bake to death? Who photographed their sadistic violence and then showed it to their proud families as they passed out candy to celebrate?”

“Let’s talk about proportionality,” I went on. “Let’s say that 250 Israeli women were raped.  Are you suggesting that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) tell their troops that, yes, you have our full permission to rape 250 Arab women. But NOT 251!”

I stopped talking as I witnessed a rare case of muteness from Ms. Proportionality.

Of course, I knew that neither facts nor statistics would change her hermetically sealed mind, but there was pleasure in this brief moment anyway.

UNDERSTANDING WAR

“But war is always wrong,” she said. “There’s no reason we can’t learn to get along.”

Aha, the Rodney King mantra!

“Well, Israel has tried to get along for 46 years,” I said. “Are you suggesting that they go for 47?”

Before I gave up, I explained to this colossally clueless woman that war has nothing to do with proportionality. That war has everything to do with winning!

You attack me…I fight back. Not to deflect your attack. Not to intimidate you. Not to indulge in a body count to make sure it’s “fair” or “equal” or not “humiliating.”

It’s to destroy you and to make sure that you never ever ever come after me again with the intention of annihilating me and my family and my country.

“Capeesh?” I asked her.

“To be honest,” she responded, “I never understood why Jane Fonda was such a pariah. She was just following her conscience.”

That’s when I clearly understood why God coined the word “hopeless.”

One More Un-American Move by Tallahassee

SOLAR ENERGY SUPPORTS FLORIDA POWER GENERATION ONLY APPROXIMATELY 5.2 HRS/ DAY, ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL RENEWABLE ENERGY LABORATORY (NREL). Yet the major providers, Florida Power &Light, TECO (Tampa Electric), and Duke Energy FL, who produce an estimated 70 – 90% of Florida’s power needs today are turning to solar to the exclusion of all other sources. WHY??

Last year alone, Florida built more large-scale solar than did California, and came in second in installation of residential solar systems.

Last year, Tallahassee enacted a law to delete all references to “climate change” from most of the state policies. Wow, that’ll help…

In my experience, a turd by any other name still smells like a turd. But DeGov said that so doing, returned sanity to Florida’s energy approach.

Just one Kat’s opinion, but sanity needs to be restored in Tallahassee.

Think on THAT one. Florida beat out CALIFORNIA, the leading globalist-disaster state in the nation. But it’s OK, as long as people don’t see the words “climate change” associated with it. Dear Lord.

Over the last two years, Florida utilities have spent $8.6 billion+ on the expansion of solar energy, the least efficient and most costly type of energy in the state, especially considering the 20-year low price of US natural gas that exists today.

Here are stats from FP&L 2023:

2024-2033 FPL solar + battery storage investment cost = $30.2B
Resulting annual Nat. Gas savings = $1.15B
FPL Payback = 26.3 years
Ratepayer Payback = 29.1 years

(Source: FPL 2023 Form 10K, FPL 10-year 2024-2033 power site plan, EIA Henry Hub nat. Gas cost 2024 avg.)

The utilities’ target is to have 45% of Florida’s energy produced by solar by 2045. The average monthly bill could rise from $260/month (1,640 kWh at 16¢/kWh) in 2025 to approximately $535/month by 2045, assuming consistent consumption. Will usage limits be imposed? Will “Smart Meters” just shut the users down when those are reached? It’s all in the Globalist playbook.

Those dollars spent on solar are raising costs to ratepayers across the state, and that will continue if Florida stays on the same path.

WHY GO THIS WAY??

There are even recent reports from researchers, of rogue Chinese spyware in inverters (which change solar’s DC to AC current), which came out this May. Reuters and Fox news reported on this, although Government officials were not yet ready to do so.

PLEASE read this article. We MUST have energy production that is safe, in addition to Clean, Abundant, Reliable and Affordable (CARA) in order for these United States to remain a sovereign nation. Any country that cannot count on CARA energy to power its industry, homes and social support structures will not remain independent. China understands that. Americans must as well.

Since DeSantis took office as Governor in 2019, Florida’s energy future has become all about solar – the “clean energy”. If this sounds something a Globalist would do, you are hearing it correctly. Once more, Florida’s governor proves who he really is Hint: Ron DeSantis is NOT “America First.”

But Tallahassee doesn’t use the word, “Climate change”. So it’s all ok.

When DeGov was elected, 74% of all Florida energy supplies came from natural gas.; 13% from nuclear; 10% from coal; and 1% from oil, according to Grok research.

WHEN RON DESANTIS TOOK OFFICE, PEOPLE COULD AFFORD THEIR POWER BILLS. NOW, KEEPING THE LIGHTS ON IS BECOMING A STRAIN ON FAMILY FINANCES, AND IS RAISING THE COST OF EVERYTHING ELSE.

From 2023 – 25, Florida rate payers have seen their bills increase, ON AVERAGE, statewide by approximately 20%. Customers of the big three, FP&L (Nextera), TECO and Duke Energy FL, have seen increases of 21% from FP&L, 28% from TECO, and 32% from Duke Energy. Nextera is a national leader in solar.

This is projected to continue and worsen, as more and more solar farms and battery installations are developed.

Along with this comes the travesty of more and more agricultural lands taken out of food production, covered with products from our avowed enemy, China, and its cohorts.

Currently 86% of Florida’s energy is supplied by US natural gas, oil, coal or nuclear fission. Technology has made all of these clean and reliable to use. Why force 21+ million people to be dependent on foreign-produced solar panels and batteries? Especially when those are produced by our avowed enemy, China.

Col. John Mills, USArmy Col. Ret. and Dave Walsh, former President and CEO of Mitsubishi Power Systems America and Florida resident, have an excellent post on this topic. Col Mills is Former Director of Cybersecurity Policy, Strategy, and International Affairs in the Office of the Secretary of Defense. Mr. Walsh is heading up the Florida effort to raise awareness of the issue, and to interact with Tallahassee and the Florida Public Service Commission – the five members of which exist as gubernatorial appointees.

The Green Energy slogan may be well intended, but it miserably fails the math test of reality. Solar and wind, unless an unforeseen innovation occurs, deliver under 15 percent of the nation’s growing energy requirements, say Millls and Walsh.

This is key: Virtually no new baseload, combined cycle gas-fired generation, or coal has been added since 2018, and there has been a six-year time out in adding energy generation. (emphasis mine) Because of this moratorium on new energy plants, the authors estimate that the nation will be 250 GWs short by 2033 with the current solar/wind/battery energy storage-only strategy, and this does not even take into account data center energy demand and re-industrialization into account. The shortfall is roughly equivalent to 120 two-GW powerplants that run twenty-four hours a day. Two GWs is the same size as the latest nuclear power plant, Georgia’s Vogtle Plant, whose third and fourth units came online in 2023 and 2024. As a result, numerous coal plants scheduled for closure are suddenly receiving life extensions.

The tech industry values coal, nuclear, and gas because they provide reliable sources of power.

This is an excellent article, which I highly recommend that you read.

The explosion of AI will demand massive amounts of energy, as plants are being built all over America – in the states which can provide the power needed. Jobs will go to those states. Solar is NOT the answer, and the reasons are clear.

Yet, again, from 2019 – 2025 to date – THE TIME DURING WHICH DE SANTIS HAS BEEN GOVERNOR, the state of Florida has added ONLY SOLAR as new generating capacity.

FURTHERMORE, THE TEN-YEAR SITE PLANS OF FL REGULATED UTILITIES ARE PROJECTING THAT APPROXIMATELY 91% OF NEW CAPACITY ADDITIONS WILL BE SOLAR AND BATTERY STORAGE.

Now, I think you know “why”. UN Agendas.

Florida is in the hands of Globalist leadership, it appears.

Dave Walsh is leading the campaign for awareness. You can find him frequently on Steve Bannon, in The National Interest, as an energy advisor to industry clients and as a national commentator on energy markets and related technology. He speaks around the country on the urgent issues of energy production.

Consumers of energy – homes, businesses, factories, hospitals, schools – need power that is Clean, Abundant, Reliable and Affordable. (CARA). I repeat, a sovereign nation must be able to supply all of its own energy needs for its citizens and its industries. Never forget this.

CARA energy is a prerequisite for a Free society.

If you live in Florida, HERE IS YOUR JOB: ASK TALLAHASSEE TO REJECT THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION DOCKET 20250011: This is FP&L’s proposed $9 billion rate hike which enables the spread of the highly expensive and inefficient solar energy. E-Mail every senator and representative. You MUST include an instate address to prove you are a ratepayer in Florida.

Call your representatives. Tell them that you object to more of your money being funnelled to China and away from America! And let them know that erasing “climate change” is one useless move. Ask them what it cost the state to do that…

What Happens To Americans When The Devil Is Let Loose?

“The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.”– Proverbs 21:7

Goodness gracious people, how many crimes and lies does this devil, Barack Obama, need to be found guilty of committing before the people hold him accountable?

He is, once again, leading other subversives to bring about more illegal censorship in advocating his treasonous propaganda.  He is hoping to overthrow the First Amendment of the United States Bill of Rights.

Then again, Barack has been allowed to do so by the people in this country for over 16 years now without standing trial for his numerous, treasonous crimes against the people. This is what it looks like when the devil is let loose.

Friends, this is how a country is overthrown.

Ultimately, what this all comes down to is these devils hate the bearers of the truth that bring their evil deeds to the light (Ephesians 5:11)!

https://sonsoflibertymedia.com/barack-obama-lets-the-mask-slip-again/

Barack Obama spews forth his doctrine of devils in hopes of leading people to censor the truth.

In fact, this is the very reason our forefathers established the First Amendment.  Benjamin Franklin famously stated, “Freedom of speech is the great bulwark of liberty; they prosper and die together: And it is the terror of traitors and oppressors, and a barrier against them.”  This quote, often attributed to Cato’s Letters, highlights the crucial role free speech plays in safeguarding liberty and a free government.  Franklin, a printer and publisher, understood the power of the press and the importance of open discourse.  He believed that freedom of speech was essential for wisdom and public liberty, and that without it, a nation’s liberty could be overthrown.

What of George Washington, and what it is that he had to say of those who mean to suppress or censor our free speech?

“If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep, to the slaughter” is a quote attributed to George Washington.

In conclusion: Friends, remember that our God-given rights are not taken away.  If they go, it is because the people have forfeited them.  If you are not willing that they be forfeited, then they must be fought for, and in this case, these criminals must be brought to justice while you still have time to do so!

Art. 1, Sec.8, Clause 11, U.S. Constitution, Powers of Congress: “To declare war…President:  Art. II, Section 2, Clause 1: “The President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states, when called into the actual service of the United States…”  (I would say saving American lives is being called into service for our people and country.)

United States Senate:

“The Constitution grants Congress the sole power to declare war. Congress has declared war on 11 occasions, including its first declaration of war with Great Britain in 1812. Congress approved its last formal declaration of war during World War II. Since that time it has agreed to resolutions authorizing the use of military force and continues to shape U.S. military policy through appropriations and oversight.” (List contained here.)  Think the stink of the lucrative war machine, NATO, and the corrupt United Nothing (UN).

On the morning of April 20, 1986, Americans woke up to the news that Air Force F-111’s (God’s truth I actually sat in one that was used in that operation) and other support aircraft had carried out a full-scale raid on Moamaar Khadafy in Libya. Why did Ronald Reagan order that precision bombing? A series of telex messages had been intercepted from Libya’s East Berlin embassy right before and after a disco was bombed in West Berlin on April 5, 1986. Based on hard intelligence, Reagan cited “irrefutable” evidence that Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy was the brains behind the bombing and the decision was made to strike back.

This act of cowardice by terrorists killed two people, including an American GI; hundreds were wounded, including 50 to 60 Americans. Once Reagan was absolutely certain beyond a shadow of a doubt that Libya was responsible for this unprovoked act which led to the murder and injury of Americans, he acted without hesitation, saying, “I warned that there should be no place on earth where terrorists can rest and train and practice their deadly skills. I meant it. I said that we would act with others, if possible, and alone if necessary to ensure that terrorists have no sanctuary anywhere. Tonight, we have.” We did act alone; France wouldn’t even allow our aircraft to fly over their air space.

The guidelines for that mission were crystal clear: There should be minimal risk to our pilots and Navy Seals to reduce any chance of our own becoming POWs or killed. The target would be Khadafy; civilians would be spared as much as possible. But there was no mistake: Go for the kill and send a very clear and unequivocal message to anyone who dare harm our own. There was no informing the American people or the prostitute media ahead of time and that’s the way it should be. Ever read Sun Zu’s Art of War?

If the proof is there, our military go, get the job done and come home. War is ugly, but we have an indisputable right to strike quickly and decisively against anyone who hurts US whether it be a planned war, blowing up restaurants, barracks or OUR ships.

We did not invade that country and begin the process of destroying the culture of the indigenous population by forcing freedom killing “democracy” on them. Following our right to retaliate against any nation that kills or harms our own, Reagan did not engage in an endless and deceitful mission to “rebuild” Libya. Americans were not fleeced to the tune of hundreds of billions of borrowed dollars to provide “humanitarian aid,” build new schools or become friends with an enemy nation – a certain recipe for failure. It is not our responsibility or duty to “win the hearts and minds” of any foreign country or their people to fight some endless “war on terrorism.” Iran: Cut Off the Head (Mine) Feb. 5, 2024

28th Khobar Towers memorial ceremony: Remembering the fallen, June 25, 2024: “EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. – “An explosion, heard from more than 20 miles away, rocked and decimated the walls of the barracks near King Abdulaziz Air Base as frantic screams of terror pour out of the building.

“On the night of June 25, 1996, 19 Airmen lost their lives while over 400 U.S. and international military and civilian members were injured during the Khobar Towers attack in Dharan, Saudi Arabia; 12 of the fallen were Nomads.

“Today, over 200 attendees from the 33rd Fighter Wing and local community gathered in remembrance of the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice on the 28th anniversary of the Khobar Towers bombing.

“This year’s memorial included a guest speaker, the traditional wreath-laying, recitation of names, and the playing of “Taps”. The recitation of names was carried out by 19 current Airmen from the 33rd FW who were chosen to stand on behalf of the fallen, deliver the fallen member’s name, and render a salute.”

Billy was president at the time.  Bill Clinton’s once-secret cable to Iran a reminder Tehran’s terror killed hundreds of Americans, June 18, 2025

“Three years after 19 Americans died in a bombing at a Saudi Arabian apartment complex, then-President Bill Clinton sent a cable that told Iran’s president a secret that the 42nd president wasn’t even willing to tell the American public: U.S. intelligence had ample evidence that Tehran was behind the deadly Khobar Towers terror attack.

“Message to President Khatami from President Clinton: The United States Government has received credible evidence that members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, (IRGC) along with members of Lebanese and Saudi Hizballah, were directly involved in the planning and execution of the terrorist bombing in Saudi Arabia of the Khobar Towers military resident complex,” the 1999 cable declared.

“The United States views this in the gravest terms,” the cable continued. “We acknowledge that the bombing occurred prior to your election. Those responsible, however, have yet to face justice for this crime. And the IRGC may be involved in planning for further terrorist attacks against American citizens. The involvement of the IRGC in terrorist activity and planning abroad remains a cause of deep concern to us.”

Tiny (according to Paula Jones) limp dick, Billy Clinton did Nothing.  Back to the article above by the great investigative journalist, John Soloman:

“When we hear that Iran is threatening, well, we’re going to retaliate if you do something to us, we are already at war with Iran,” former National Security Council chief of staff Fred Fleitz told the John Solomon Reports podcast on Wednesday. “Iran is already committing acts of terrorism, and did a major one as recently as 2024 when an Iranian agent was indicted but got away for trying to kill Trump before the 2024 election.”

“Three years after 19 Americans died in a bombing at a Saudi Arabian apartment complex, then-President Bill Clinton sent a cable that told Iran’s president a secret that the 42nd president wasn’t even willing to tell the American public: U.S. intelligence had ample evidence that Tehran was behind the deadly Khobar Towers terror attack.

“Message to President Khatami from President Clinton: The United States Government has received credible evidence that members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, (IRGC) along with members of Lebanese and Saudi Hizballah, were directly involved in the planning and execution of the terrorist bombing in Saudi Arabia of the Khobar Towers military resident complex,” the 1999 cable declared.

“The United States views this in the gravest terms,” the cable continued. “We acknowledge that the bombing occurred prior to your election. Those responsible, however, have yet to face justice for this crime. And the IRGC may be involved in planning for further terrorist attacks against American citizens. The involvement of the IRGC in terrorist activity and planning abroad remains a cause of deep concern to us.” (You can read that memo here)

Chronic terrorism and two realities

“The communiqué, released decades later under the Freedom of Information Act, is a stark reminder of two realities that President Trump must review as he decides in the next few days whether to commit U.S. military action to Israel’s war on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

“The first is that Iran’s theocratic government has waged a chronic terrorist war against the United States since first taking hostages at the U.S. embassy in Tehran during the 1979 revolution. They have claimed nearly 1,000 American lives when Iranian-backed IEDs that killed troops in Iraq and Syria are counted alongside terror attacks at a Marine barracks and U.S. embassies in Lebanon, Khobar Towers and elsewhere.

“Some attacks were thwarted, like a restaurant bombing in 2011 in Washington, D.C. targeting the Saudi ambassador to the United States, the kidnapping of an American-Iranian journalist and an assassination attempt against Trump last year that would have only added to the toll.

“When we hear that Iran is threatening, well, we’re going to retaliate if you do something to us, we are already at war with Iran,” former National Security Council chief of staff Fred Fleitz told the John Solomon Reports podcast on Wednesday. “Iran is already committing acts of terrorism, and did a major one as recently as 2024 when an Iranian agent was indicted but got away for trying to kill Trump before the 2024 election.”

“The second reality is that Democratic Party presidents like Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama and Joe Biden have handled Iran’s deadly behavior mostly with kid gloves: nuclear deals (Obama), sanctions relief (Obama and Biden), $6 billion in unfrozen assets (Biden) and in Clinton’s case a secret offer to go easy on Iran for Khobar if it cleaned up its act.

“The United States has no hostile intentions toward the Islamic Republic of Iran and seeks good relations with your government,” Clinton’s cable told Khatami, dangling an offer of better relations if Iran simply brought to justice the plotters of the Khobar attack.

“Clinton’s offer unmasked years later was shocking because he kept the American people from fully understanding the evidence of Iran’s complicity in a deadly attack.  The Clinton administration never filed criminal or civil action against the government of Iran alleging its involvement in the terror attack.” Read the rest; it’s what you were never told.

Clinton’s former Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich, USA Today, January 7, 1999: “The dirty little secret is that both houses of Congress are irrelevant.” Reich cut to the chase when he said that “America’s domestic policy is now being run by Alan Greenspan and the Federal Reserve and America’s foreign policy is now being run by the International Monetary Fund [IMF].” And, “…when the president decides to go to war, he no longer needs a declaration of war from Congress.”

Department of State. President Clinton
Text of a letter to the Speaker of the House and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, released by the White House Office of the Press Secretary, Yulee, Florida, May 26, 1999

May 25, 1999

Dear Mr. Speaker: (Dear Mr. President:)

“On March 26, 1999, I reported that I had directed U.S. forces to commence military air strikes as part of NATO’s operations against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) in response to the FRY Government’s continued campaign of violence and repression against the civilian population of Kosovo. Each day we receive new reports of FRY security forces committing atrocities and forcing civilians from their homes. Currently there are more than 725,000 displaced Kosovars in Albania, Macedonia, and Montenegro, and hundreds of thousands of internally displaced persons within Kosovo.

“At their recent Summit in Washington, NATO Heads of State and Government made clear that the Alliance will not allow this campaign of terror to succeed. Until such time as Belgrade meets NATO’s conditions, the allies intend to continue — and intensify — air operations against the Yugoslav war machine. As part of intensifying NATO’s operations, and in response to a request by SACEUR, I have directed deployment of additional aircraft and forces to support NATO’s ongoing efforts, including several thousand additional U.S. Armed Forces personnel to Albania in support of the deep strike task force located there. I am also directing that additional U.S. forces be deployed to the region to assist in humanitarian operations.

“As I mentioned in my April 7 letter, it is not possible to predict how long these operations will last. The duration of the deployments depends upon the course of events in Kosovo, and specifically, on Belgrade’s acceptance of the conditions set forth by the United States and its allies.

“I have taken this action pursuant to my constitutional authority to conduct U.S. foreign relations and as Commander in Chief and Chief Executive.

“I am providing this report as part of my efforts to keep the Congress fully informed, consistent with the War Powers Resolution. I appreciate the continued support of the Congress in this action.

Sincerely, WILLIAM J. CLINTON (Keep them informed but no declaration of war was voted on by CON-gress.)

Bill Clinton was impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives on Dec.17, 1998.  On Feb. 12, 1999, Clinton was acquitted by the U.S. Senate.  In the meantime, and in record time by Hollywood standards (70 days start to finish) a movie was made titled Wag the Dog; 23 nominations, 2 Oscar wins. “Shortly before an election, a spin-doctor and a Hollywood producer join efforts to fabricate a war in order to cover up a Presidential sex scandal.”  “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky.” Bill Clinton, Jan. 26, 1998.

But it was too late.  The media was sitting on it (Michael Isikoff) and then along came Matt Drudge, the ‘little blue dress’ with slut Billy’s semen on it and the rest is history as they say. Didn’t matter much as it didn’t take long for Hildebeast and Billy to become very wealthy and live like royalty after they left office. Selling out your country can be very profitable.

The targeted country in that great movie (Okay, I can’t stomach Robert DeNiro but the movie is well worth watching) was Albania. Huh? Back in Jan. 1998, Robert Ebert did a great piece about the movie.  Probably millions of Americans have never heard of it because it was so long ago.  But, as I turned 76 yesterday and been writing since 1998, I remember what was going on in the sewer called Washington, DC and the quickly emerging sex scandal by pig serial adulterer, Billy Clinton, his favorite cigar and a 22-year-old intern.  You can watch the movie free on line here.

As Americans following the political attempts to impeach President Trump, the American people got a good lesson on how slow political theater and dirty tricks with the courts can take.

I used to go to the movie theater but quit decades ago because most of what Hollywood had to offer was/is titties, badly distorted history and weak, uninteresting (to me anyway) trash.  Long, long ago I did go see Top Gun with Tom Cruise; never saw him in a movie before.  Years passed and I then saw his movie, A Few Good Men (outstanding).  Way back in 2013, I broke down and went to the movie theater with two friends to see ARGO with Ben Affleck.  Won Oscar for Best Picture of the year and deservedly so; based on a true incident.  Last time I’ve been to a movie theater.

Fast forward. Top Gun: Maverick with Tom Cruise was released in mid-2022.  I didn’t go to the theater to see it although it was a huge hit.  I haven’t owned a propaganda box (TV) for nine years so I subscribed to Netflix and Hulu.  One day doing some research, I discovered the lying, cheating POS impostor president, Hussein Obama and that thing he’s married to had signed a deal with Netflix for approximately $45 million bux.  I immediately cancelled my subscription.

I really wanted to see Top Gun Maverick so I rented it on Amazon Prime.  I was recovering from spine fusion surgery at the time so I couldn’t do much when I got home from the hospital.  Best $4 bux well spent. Bad ass movie, oh, boy.  It is uncanny the similarity between that 2022 movie and what happened with Operation Midnight Hammer.

I bring this up because while doing some research the other day, I found this video clip from Top Gun: Maverick.  Hold on.  Why?  Because while Iran isn’t mentioned in the movie, our pilots were going on the most dangerous mission ever for them:  Take out underground nuclear sites and come home (and yes, there is snow in Iran).  During Operation Midnight Hammer our fighters met no resistance as Trump pulled an ‘art of the deal’ but it was an extremely dangerous mission.  Thankfully, all our military and those who were part of Operation Midnight Hammer came home safe and sound.

That movie was released May 27, 2022.  Operation Midnight Hammer took place during the night of June 21, 2025.  Trump with the few he absolutely trusts and knows how to keep their mouths shut pulled a fast one on the evil leaders in Iran. In other words, a select handful pulled a bait and switch and bombed the hell out of underground nuclear facilities Iran should never have.  No civilians in Iran were targeted, period.

I’m not talking about nuclear power for commercial use (and households) which Iran agreed to years ago.  I’m talking about a group of maniacs with their finger on the button while chanting “We hate America”.  Must be very difficult for the thousands of Jews who live in Iran; yes, they do. Why do Jews still live in Iran? – “Despite heightened tensions with the West and strict Sharia laws, 9,000 Jews still live in Iran—and they have no plans to leave anytime soon.”, Feb. 17, 2025.  A lot of history there.

Too many Americans don’t really have any understanding of the political party known as Islam. It is not a religion but dressed up as one to control the masses and here in the U.S. to hide behind the First Amendment.  Challenging Sharia Law means challenging Islam as a religion, (Mine) October 13, 2012: “And, speaking of mosques, this little booklet is in almost all mosques in the U.S.: Jihad in Islam. Do check page 5 of the 37 page booklet: “But the truth is that Islam is not the name of a ‘Religion’, nor is ‘Muslim’ the title of a ‘Nation’. In reality Islam is a revolutionary ideology and programme which seeks to alter the social order of the whole world and rebuild it in conformity with its own tenets and ideals.

“Muslim’ is the title of that International Revolutionary Party organized by Islam to carry into effect its revolutionary programme. And ‘Jihad’ refers to that revolutionary struggle and utmost exertion which the Islamic Party brings into play to achieve this objective.”

If you read the whole thing, you’ll get a clear understanding of the goals of Islam. It is a political party hell bent on forcing every human on this earth to “worship” their putrid ideology.” Rest at link. For the last decade muslims have turned “blue” American cities into their crap holes, allegedly gotten elected to Congress and judges. If God forbid and I was in front of a muslim judge, I would absolutely refuse and demand a non-muslim judge.

Not to mention: I’m a Christian pastor who was born in Egypt. Here are 3 facts I learned about Iran’s nuclear obsession – “Attacks by Israel and the United States against Iran’s nuclear facilities have dealt a serious setback to the clerics’ nuclear ambitions—but don’t be misled”, June 29, 2025: “But the leaders of Iran are committed to a death-cult ideology—and to a nuclear showdown with Western civilization. Here are three key facts that show why Iran’s radical clerics will never abandon their nuclear obsession:” Rest at link. (Just like communists:  They lie through their teeth and have never met the truth.)

Dimwits and dirty traitors can hate Trump, which they do but one thing that cannot be denied:  Donald Trump does not want more wars and senseless killing between countries in the Middle East.  He truly does want countries to work out their differences without killing tens and tens of thousands of not just military, but civilians. One can only pray the bombing of those underground nuclear facilities can be the beginning of peace in the region. Now it’s up to the people of Iran to bring freedom to their country just as those who sacrificed their lives to birth these united States of America.

The media whores and RINO’s will continue with their spin not much damage was done by OUR courageous pilots who flew those planes for almost 40 hours, guided missile submarines, -fueled in the air and with precision sent 14 30,000 pounds ‘bunker busters’ – all done without a single leak.  The way it should be.  So, the media whores and useful fools out there can continue their childish yelling and foot stomping.  But mission completed and now (until something new is barfed up by the Democrat/Communist Party USA) all the legal experts (a few great ones out of the trash heap) will talk about whether Trump violated the Constitution by pulling off that secret mission.  Iran has been funding savages (terrorists) for decades killing Americans.  Perhaps now their allies and surrounding counties as well as innocent humans can convince their maniac mullahs and Khomeini it’s time to stop all the killing and work together for peace and prosperity.  Probably not:

Fatwa Calling for Muslims to Assassinate President Trump Issued by Iranian Ayatollah, June 29, 2025

Last question for you:  If you knew what Trump, Hegseth, Rubio, Gen. Dan Caine and a few others – not to mention the UN Atomic Energy Watchdog – have known about Iran’s hidden underground “innocent” nuclear power labs and their goal to wipe us off the face of the earth (along with Israel), would you have ordered Operation Midnight Hammer?  Just remember:  All infidels must die if they don’t become muslims according to their propaganda and thirst for murdering and killing innocent humans including children since the 1400’s.

FBI: MEMO ON TAKING OF PRESIDENT’S BLOOD

By Cliff Kincaid

July 1, 2025

Just as President Trump was imposing a “ceasefire” on Israel and Iran, leaving the apocalyptic regime in Tehran in power, another Shia Muslim was taking the USA by storm by capturing the Democratic Party’s nomination for mayor of New York City. So-called “democratic socialist” Zohran Mamdani is a “Twelver,” officially an Athna-Asheri Muslim. This dangerous sect of Shia Islam is personified by the Ayatollah of Iran and forecasts chaos and conflict producing the end of the world and the appearance of the 12^th Imam that will impose global Islamic rule.

On My Rumble television show, “Red Jihad Comes to New York City,”  analyst Trevor Loudon and I discuss this ominous development in the international context.

It looks like Iran and its Shiite religious followers will return to fight another day, and that battle may be on the streets of New York City, our nation’s financial capital, as we enter a crucial year. July 4, 2026, will mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and September 11, 2026, will mark the 25th anniversary of the Islamic terror attacks on New York City and the Pentagon.

Wil America survive? The answer depends on the ability of our people to understand the Red-Green Axis, epitomized by Iran’s reliance on Russia and Red China and Mamdani’s success in the Democratic Party.

We may laugh at Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei claiming victory over Israel, in the wake of the Israeli and American strikes, but it is not a laughing matter. The fate of several hundred pounds of potentially enriched and weaponized uranium is still an issue.

Americans applaud and thank our soldiers for risking their lives in the miliary operations that have taken place over Iran and in the region. America’s soldiers and military equipment are truly extraordinary. The additional issue, however, is what was accomplished and whether the Iranian regime and its sponsors are truly defeated.

Equally serious, President Trump is allowing Iran to continue to export oil to Communist China. “China can now continue to purchase Oil from Iran. Hopefully, they will be purchasing plenty from the U.S., also,” he said in a post on Truth Social. A White House official told Reuters that China was the world’s top importer of Iranian oil.

As the war continued, there was fear that the Iranian regime would attempt to close the Strait of Hormuz to oil tankers, a closure hard for China. Then, suddenly, the war was over and a “ceasefire” announced. Although Trump had suggested regime change in Tehran, he suddenly let the Ayatollah and his Mullahs continue in power.

The coddling of the Chinese regime is hard to explain, especially considering revelations from FBI Director Kash Patel that China interfered in the 2020 presidential election through fraudulent IDs and mail-in-ballot schemes.

Leaving the Iranian regime in place raises many questions and the Trump Administration must answer them. It is true that the “Iranian resistance” was hardly a viable alternative, since it was a Marxist and Muslim group with questionable support inside the country. On the other hand, why leave the Mullahs in control with their End Times theology?

Such questions are instantly branded by some in the MAGA movement as somehow disrespectful of President Trump. They claim that Trump made a “decisive” blow against Iran, that he had the authority to act unilaterally, and that the Congress should have had no role in approving the operation. I strongly disagree.

In a below-the-belt attack, one commentator ridiculed me for questioning the Trump approach on the grounds that I took the COVID-19 vaccine shot. That seems strange, even ludicrous, because the vaccine was developed under then-President Trump’s authorization and he recommended that people of my age should take it. Trump himself took the vaccine.

In defense of Trump, some say Trump’s critical role in COVID-19  vaccine development should be ignored because he was bamboozled by Anthony Fauci.

This argument is undermined by the fact that, under Trump’s second term, the CDC still recommends the COVID-19 shot for most adults ages 18 and older. People in my age category, ages 65 years and older, are especially encouraged to get the vaccine.

Thus, we have an unusual situation. Some in the MAGA movement applaud his military strikes on Iran but want to conveniently ignore his role in approving COVID-19 shots and seek to discredit those of us who took that advice. They want to support some Trump positions while whitewashing his positions on others.

Why has the CDC under RFK Jr. continue to promote the shot for some age groups? It is because COVID-19 is a dangerous virus, which some call a bioweapon, and the vaccine provides some protection for some people. For others, the virus is not as dangerous. “Parents of children ages 6 months to 17 years should discuss the benefits of vaccination with a healthcare provider,” the CDC says.

Perhaps we can all agree that the virus is dangerous for many people and that Red China should pay for releasing it into the world. That used to be Trump’s position. He once demanded trillions of dollars in reparations from China.

We should view with alarm the report that U.S. officials are drawing up plans for President Trump to visit China later this year with a delegation of dozens of CEOs.

Whether it is Trump, Biden, or Obama, I believe we must exercise independent thought and judgment. We must stop supporting the president just because he is the president. We must think for ourselves.

I made the judgment during the release of COVID that I should take the COVID-19 vaccine, although I opposed the lockdowns, and that I could not support his unilateral and limited military strikes on Iran. I stand by these judgments.

President Trump was elected by the people, first in 2016 and then in 2024. But that does not mean we should be blind followers. For those who desire independent thinking, I recommend my commercial-free website and Rumble channel. I am not trying to sell you gold or identify theft protection.

I am not a Luddite, like some “conservatives” opposed to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and crypto.

You may appreciate my new report on a “gay” pride festival where Christian protesters were attacked by deranged perverts.

I always write under my own name and stand behind my writing, based on more than 40 years of experience and the publication of more than one dozen books. I base my views on the concepts of individual freedom and responsibility and the Judeo-Christian foundations of our country as outlined in the Constitution. That is why I have been attacked by the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Council on American-Islamic Relations and a few dishonest MAGA cranks.

If you remember the Disney version of “Peter Pan”, you may well remember the Island’s name, Neverland. If you were raising children in the late 80s and throughout the 90s, you may recall the commercial from ToysRus. The line from the jingle was “I don’t want to grow up, I’m a ToysRus kid.” In many ways, we’ve seen our culture promote delayed childhood.

In our current time (2025), there are an alarming number of young adults (16 to 24 years) who are absolutely clueless when it comes to the basics of being on their own. What do I mean? Examples like balancing a checkbook, cooking, laundry, changing a tire are just a few of what I’m referring to. But, it goes beyond these types of basics. It’s also mentally crippling our young people.

At one point in America’s educational landscape many of the basic tasks were the responsibility of the parents. For instance, Dad might have taught you how to mow the lawn. Mom might have been the one to teach you how to wash clothes. While there ARE some parents who didn’t let up on teaching their children these things, many other children/young adults haven’t been so blessed.

It might be the parents bought into the sales pitch that only the school could teach, maybe it was the parents were not able to nurture their children for whatever reason, maybe its the fact that both parents worked and were unable to lead their families, so they relied on the school system. Or worse, allowed the Hollywood culture to raise their children via massive amounts of media (via TV, computer games, social media).

So, the question is: Is the lack in our young adults all the parents’ fault? Mainstream media is great at pointing the finger in that direction. Based on my years of educational research, I believe that it’s not one party’s fault, rather it’s a definite combination.

The education system has continued usurping how a family lives, learns, believes and acts. Think about how, over the past 20+ years, the U.S. Department of Education has tried to ‘co-parent’ our own children! In more recent years, the word play has shifted from ‘ambassadors’ to “family engagement”.[1] Either way, nowhere in the US Constitution was it ever stated that We the People wanted our government to ‘co-parent’ with us! The ‘sales pitch’ for ‘engagement at a family level: “student success”! It also has led to MTSS (Multi-Tier Support Systems), part of the encircling of the nanny state over the family so that, after all, Johnny and Suzy can learn what the system wants them to. This has been tagged as ‘whole child learning’ and isn’t about imparting knowledge so much as it’s about mind manipulation. Consider the fact that ‘critical thinking’ isn’t kept at an age appropriate level (high school), but is being inserted into Kindergarten, well before the brain’s natural maturation process is ready for such complexities. Don’t gloss over the supposed goal of this shift, either. It’s all about collectivism, not individuality! It’s about grooming people into becoming comfortable with living in a ‘nanny state’ where the government is not only your provider of where you live, what you eat, but also becoming your parents!

While the term “Peter Pan Syndrome (PPS)” first surfaced in 1983, the ideology has also gone on to include “Wendy”. What does this mean? The author (Dr. Dan Kiley) of the book[2] about PPS first focused on the male population as not able to communicate/commit to a relationship/difficulties in holding down a job, etc. He also wrote about how women can also be just as vulnerable to some of the same issues. In 2025, however, the terminology has shifted to ‘wokeness’. Being ‘woke’ isn’t so much about the lack of adult activities you can or cannot complete, as it is about what you believe as an adult. Hence, the mind manipulation aspect I brought up earlier.

In Kiley’s first book, PPS was described as people who couldn’t master ‘challenging adult activities’, hold down a steady relationship and could be extended to adults up to the age of 40. The book also shared that the root cause was the ‘patriarchal ideas about gender’. Other ‘typical’ signs can be: self-centeredness, fear of being alone, a heavy reliance on others and accepting any type of criticism due to the harshness of it all. If you’re thinking about ‘social justice warriors’, then you’re not too far removed from PPS. (*Note: Social justice warriors are the type of people who will not tolerate your belief and are willing to force you to believe theirs instead.) Collectivism breeds these types of globalism minded minions.

It’s also interesting that neither[3] the Centers for Disease Control or the (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) DSM-5 Manual recognizes PPS. Why bring up these resources? Because our culture adheres to the CDC when it comes to anything about health and well being (a new term for mind manipulation). Schools which receive our taxpayer dollars are forced to comply with DSM-5 Manual for labeling students with all types of conditions of the mind`valid or invalid! (*Note: This article is not to detract from the fact that there are bona fide cases of mental health issues, as there are also physical issues which can cause a person to not be able to reach what’s considered adulthood. Rather, this article is to point out the abuse of the facts, thus creating a false sense of reality and, as a consequence, ensure a nation of dependency, not of freedom or independence.) There’s an online PPS test[4] that you can take to see how you, too, may be a person who cannot (or will not) grow up.

If knowing all this from an academic viewpoint isn’t disturbing enough, the economic websites and media are following this topic as well. Why is the economic world concerned about people who are not growing up, or, worse, don’t know what to do, once they are grown? Jobs, my friends! Plain and simple. If you don’t have trained workers, how will Big Tech, Big Biz and all the other controlling arms and legs of our government survive?

Back in 2020, MarketWatch’s website[5] was so condescending to the parents about the issue of not adulting, it offered economic based ‘advice’! The writer described the societal nightmare as young people have ‘failure to launch’. Don’t (or maybe do) compare this phrase with the Hollywood movie by the same name (hint: it was about a grown man who couldn’t commit to a solid love relationship).

Earlier this year, an international economic website[6] also pointed out that our young adults aren’t growing up. Then, there’s an article that brings up that our governments have purposefully caused our young adults to remain infants, so to speak. This not a failure, but part of a well orchestrated plan,[7] which we have allowed to continue on! Some of the very points I have found in my research for this APC article, are included in the linked article. It’s well worth a frank discussion at not only the educational system level, but at a community level, too. You may be asking why should you get involved, especially if you are outside of the public school system, or, don’t have any children of school age. Getting involved is the right thing to do and for the right reasons. Getting involved also means that you understand that no amount of government funding to any school type, especially using education saving accounts, school choice funds, etc will stop this system from being attached to your family. The money trail creates a data trail that is needed to ensure family compliance to the government’s system. It also feeds into the international workforce supply which attaches itself to collectivism and social justice needed to carry out America’s compliance with the Sustainable Development Goals.

We are fighting against a bureaucratic beast system full of both mainstream political parties who are more concerned about the thinly veiled ‘success’ of using education so that a global agenda is achieved, not personal growth or personal success in life. Regardless of what political party you believe is at fault, it’s our children and their children who are caught in the crossfires. Don’t allow this myopic globalism plan to continue to thrive! The social and emotional kidnapping that has visited every member-state of the UN must be held accountable! Our children are our most precious gift we have.

Arguing that you don’t care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.  —Edward Snowden

We have to decide whether our fear is going to get the better of us. Once upon a time we had a standard in our country that was ‘innocent until proven guilty.’ We’ve given up on so much. Now, people are talking about a standard that is ‘if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.’ Think about it. Is that the standard we’re willing to live under?  —Sen. Rand Paul

What I worry about ultimately is that when we’re stripped of our privacy, when we’re stripped of free will, when we start to merge with machines in a more robust way, at some point, we’ll cease to be identifiably human. And therefore, I think our humanity is, in some ways, the thing that’s under existential threat.  —Franklin Foer

Big brother is watching you.  —George Orwell, 1984

The Fourth Amendment of our unalienable Bill of Rights states, “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

Without personal privacy, we are all potential victims of the “secret police.”

In April 2024, Speaker Mike Johnson cast a crucial vote against an amendment that would have required a warrant for accessing data under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).  President Biden strongly opposed the warrant requirement amendment, but former President Trump stated, ​​“Kill FISA, it was illegally used against me and many others. They spied on my campaign.”

Cameras are everywhere watching the people.

Red light cameras are automated systems used by law enforcement to monitor intersections and catch drivers who run red lights or aren’t wearing their seatbelts. License readers have gone up all over the country. Stores and public buildings are equipped with cameras.  The self-checkout lanes at groceries are equipped with cameras.

The National Security Agency (NSA) previously collected phone metadata on millions of Americans. While this program has been scaled back, it raised significant privacy concerns.  The NSA and other agencies have also been known to collect internet communications and track location data using various programs and access to databases, even without warrants.

Privacy is dying.

Since 1990, the federal government has been building different “digital” pieces around American citizens.  We are entering the realm of what some have called, “a digital concentration camp”, far deadlier than the three members of the Axis of Evil, United Nations Agenda 21/30 with their smart growth, 15-minute cities and Wildlands Project,  more lethal than the World Health Organization and the World Economic Forum.

It is complete control.

It is the digital monster who will alert the “secret police.”
