I voted for Donald Trump three times and would vote for him again.  Should only have been twice but since he was cheated out of a second term, it turned out to be three times.  Most of his “advisors” during his first term were a disaster; a great deal of time and money was wasted fighting BS lawsuits to stop him from building a wall to keep out scum, criminals, freeloaders, drug cartels and so forth.

This is his second and final time as president and I believe President Trump has changed quite a bit – for the good. During the illegitimate Biden administration, Trump wasn’t sunning at the beach eating ice cream cones.  I believe he finally found out just how rotten and corrupt the U.S. CON-gress (a lot of RINO’s) is right along with agencies like the FBI, CIA and many more.

I believe he was more than determined than ever to get back into office (despite two attempts on his life) and this time bulldoze the rot and expose the corruption. Trump’s first time around based on recommendations by turncoat advisors, the swamp was filled, not drained – especially federal judges and Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett. It’s different this time around. Not perfect, but he’s only been in office less than six months.

Unfortunately, Trump’s still getting very bad advice (not just from some of his lawyers), but regarding government agencies and cabinets.  One outstanding goal is to get rid of the unconstitutional Federal Department of Dumbing Down Education; teacher’s unions are the cancer and every state should have nothing to do with them.  President of largest teachers union in US defends illegal immigrants during anti-ICE protest in LA – NEA’s Becky Pringle speaks at LA rally while Trump deploys National Guard to quell violent immigration protests, June 10, 2025 (Gag me.)  One of the reasons I sacrificed so much to keep my daughter in private Christian schools.

Ronald Reagan promised if elected to get rid of the unconstitutional Federal Department of Education and SBA, Small business Administration.  Soon as he was elected, those promises blew into the wind.  Same promise by Bob Dole, same result; he wasn’t elected but it was back to business as usual and today we have tens and tens of millions of legal school children who can’t read a comic book.

Eighth graders who can’t read a ruler.  I know because I was a part-time substitute teacher (at every school in our district where I live) after my husband passed away.  I was appalled and sickened at how far behind students from about 7^th grade through seniors – so many of them – couldn’t read at the 4^th grade level.  I will say too many had deplorable home situations (druggies and drunks for parents) including child abuse.  Heartbreaking.  We also had too many illegal aliens and boy could I tell you some stories about them.

No where in Art. 1, Sec. 8 of the U.S. Constitution does it give CON-gress the authority to make loans, i.e., Federal Dept of Education, SBA, foreign governments or banks. Think the rancid USAID, a well-run money laundering black hole operation.  And people) wonder why WE owe more than $36 TRILLION dollars (“national debt” run up by both parties?

Members of the Democrat/Communist Party USA don’t know how do to anything other than lie while they huff and puff.  One issue in the misnamed Big Beautiful Bill deals with Medicaid which Congress has no constitutional authority to fund.  Do NOT underestimate DemonRat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.  While he lies through his teeth, Jeffries is actually a very intelligent man.  Too bad he’s one of Satan’s Pimps:

White House Shuts Down One of the ‘Most Disgusting Lies’ Being Spread About the Big, Beautiful Bill, June 3, 2025:

“This bill actually hurts everyday Americans in order to reward billionaires,” Jeffries told host Dana Bash. “It would strip away healthcare from approximately 14 million Americans. Premiums, copays and deductibles for tens of millions more will go up. Actually, if it ever were to be implemented into law, hospitals will close, nursing homes will shut down and people will literally die.”

• FACT: Medicaid will be strengthened for the American citizens for whom the program was designed — pregnant women, children, people with disabilities, low-income seniors, and other vulnerable low-income families. By removing at least 1.4 million illegal immigrants from the program, ending taxpayer-funded gender mutilation surgeries for minors, and eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse, the One Big Beautiful Bill will ensure Medicaid better serves the American people.
• FACT: 4.8 million able-bodied adults on Medicaid are choosing not to work — and by implementing commonsense, Clinton-era work, volunteer, education, or training requirements, the One Big Beautiful Bill lifts them up to find a better quality of life through the dignity of work. Through work, job training, or part-time volunteering, this requirement will strengthen the system to better help those most in need of assistance. Work requirements are a bipartisan solution supported by Joe Biden. (White House)

HHS Secretary RFK Jr. Says Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Includes $75/Month Healthcare Plan with 24/7 Concierge Doctor — No Insurance Claims and Surprise Bills, June 13, 2025

“HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. just dropped a healthcare bombshell on The Story with Martha MacCallum: President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is about to revolutionize health care for working Americans. June 13, 2025

“For just $75 a month, Americans will now be able to access a 24/7 concierge doctor — no copays, no insurance battles, no outrageous surprise bills.  This is health care for the people, not for the insurance lobbyists or Big Pharma cronies.

“One of the most groundbreaking parts of the plan is its expansion of Health Savings Accounts (HSAs).

“For $75 a month, under this bill, you’ll be able to get a concierge doctor who is available 24 hours a day, every day of the week, every day of the year. You won’t get a bill for it. You won’t have to file insurance claims. It’s just like old-style health care—but it’s for $75 a month.

“We’re also going to allow the creation of onsite medical centers by employers—at factories, at workplaces—where workers can get treated for free. Somebody won’t have to leave work for four or five hours to get a medical checkup. They’ll be able to do that onsite.”  Rest at link. I have some very valid problems with that plan I’ll address soon.

Medicaid is an INTERNAL issue that falls to the states of the Union to make laws and eligibility regarding any such program and funding:

Joseph Story, Associate Justice, U.S. Supreme Court, said in the ‘Commentaries on the Constitution’ (1833):

“Another not unimportant consideration is that the powers of the general government will be, and indeed must be, principally employed upon external objects, such as war, peace, negotiations with foreign powers and foreign commerce. In its internal operations it can touch but few objects, except to introduce regulations beneficial to the commerce, intercourse and other relations, between the states, and to lay taxes for the common good. The powers of the states, on the other hand, extend to all objects, which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, and liberties, and property of the people, and the internal order, improvement and prosperity of the state.”

Medicaid is not an external object or operation.  Tenth Amendment.  The amount of money stolen from the Medicare program is STAGGERING – most of which can’t be recovered.  Medicare MUST be taken out of the hands of the incompetent federal government and run solely by each state of the Union. It is far easier to detect the fraud and pursue getting back some of the money stolen through fraud which is epidemic in the Medicare system:

Let’s Take a Look at Fraud Against State Medicaid Programs: “In the last few days, we’ve been discussing the impact of fraud on the federal healthcare programs, but whistleblowers also play an important role in fighting fraud in state healthcare programs like Medicaid. Some experts estimate that fraud accounts for as much as 20 percent of government healthcare spending.[1] This means that, through Medicaid and other programs, the average state may waste as much as 6.4% of its total budget on healthcare fraud every year.[2]

“Imagine if we could stop this wasteful spending. Let’s consider Texas, a state with an annual budget of more than $123 billion.[3] 6.4 percent of Texas’ 2021 budget would total nearly $7.9 billion. This sum would fund the entire state university system—including community and technical colleges—for a year, with more than $1 billion left over.[4] $7.9 billion could cover nearly 70% of the cost of the state’s annual highway development spending,[6] or it could fund the state’s direct services to veterans every year for the next 364 years.[6]

“State False Claims Act enforcement efforts are an efficient use of taxpayer money: in 2019, state Medicaid Fraud Control Units recovered $6.41 for every $1 spent on enforcement. Four of the largest healthcare fraud settlements by states demonstrate some of the schemes that lawbreakers use to defraud the government, and the effectiveness of whistleblowers in fighting back:” Rest at link.  There is way too much fraud in the Medicare system throughout the states and that can only be solved by strict oversight by state laws and follow-up as to who is abusing and who legitimately needs that helping hand.  This is a perfect example why DOGE should be set up in every state.

H.R.1 – One Big Beautiful Bill Act introduced by my U.S. Rep. Jodie Arrington; I voted against him twice in primaries but he always manages to “win”.  He doesn’t even know our city exists – just vote for him!  Only 1100+ pages so have a good read.  Of course, through “reconciliation” there’s been changes, but how many U.S. Reps and Senators (not their aides) actually read the bill before they voted?

‘I am adamantly opposed’: MTG shocked to discover what is in bill she voted for, June 3, 2025: “Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) indicated that she had regrets about not reading President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” before voting for it.”

Thank she’s the only one?  Remember this: “Back in March 2010, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said out loud what most Democrats would only say in their own heads. In referencing a massive takeover of America’s health care system, also known as Obamacare, Speaker Pelosi suggested the House pass the bill so we could all find out what was in it.

“History certainly does repeat itself. More than a decade later, House Democrats are attempting to ram through a 10,000-page $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill without really knowing what is in it. And how could they? This massive partisan bill changes every day.”

CON-gress is in session, well, not 12 months a year as they get tons of days off with pay.  U.S. Speaker of the House, who I can’t stand, Mike Johnson, said “they’ve been working on this BBB for the past 14 months.”  Really?  Why then do we have to have one bill thousands of pages long where both parties spent the last couple of months before the end of the fiscal year (Sept. 30^th) arguing and back door trading to get a final bill – or most common a continuing resolution – done by Sept 30^th?  President Trump wants his BBB done by 4 July. As the old saying goes, haste makes waste.

There have been so many constitutional bills introduced the past few years that never even got a vote. Now, however, a couple are in this monstrous 1,100 + page bill.  Hell, I thought NAFTA was bad (I read all 2400+ pages) or the WTO/GATT disaster treaty (25,000 pages read by ONE senator from Colorado who quit after one term stating he would never vote for that treaty. He read it for a $10,000 donation to his favorite charity!).  I read only parts at the big library in Denver as there weren’t many PC’s in homes back then.

Each issue like the ones below can easily be done one separate bill per issue.  That way all members of CON-gress and We the People can read it and make our voices heard. Then the jackals (with a few exceptions) in both parties can vote yes or no without all the histrionics and BS politics.

H.R. 3664 (110^th): Tax Free Tips Act of 2007, introduced by then congressman, Ron Paul: “To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide that tips shall not be subject to income or employment taxes.”  Simple, easy for even the dumbest in CON-gress to understand.

3 co-sponsors:  James Sensenbrenner [R-WI], Mark Souder [R], McCotter, Thaddeus “Thad” McCotter [R-MI].  All are gone from Congress now. The SEIU (Service Employees International Union (SEIU), did not support the bill.

No Taxes on Tips By Ron Paul, MD, October 4, 2007.  “Many service-sector employers are young people trying to make money to pay for their education, or single parents struggling to provide for their children. Oftentimes, these workers work two jobs in hopes of making a better life for themselves and their families.

“The Tax Free Tips Act gives these hard-working Americans an immediate pay raise. People may use this pay raise to devote more resources to their children’s, or their own, education, or to save for a home, retirement, or to start their own businesses.  Helping Americans improve themselves by reducing their taxes will make our country stronger. I, therefore, hope all my colleges will join me in cosponsoring the Tax Free Tips Act.”

Never even received a vote by all those Republicans and Democrat incumbents who claim to be for the working man and woman.

Dr. Paul tried again in 2009.  One co-sponsor, Sensenbrenner.  Never even got a vote.

He tried again, same bill 2011-2013 session.  As usual it died with no vote.

Those who opposed Dr. Paul’s bill session after session said it would hurt badly needed revenue for the bloated leviathan federal government.  Instead of abolishing unconstitutional cabinets, agencies and their out-of-control spending, screw waiters, bartenders, waitresses, sky caps at the airport, luggage assistants at a hotel and others who might receive a tip, like your hairdresser or barber.

H.R.482 – No Tax on Tips Act introduced Jan. 16, 2025.  23 co-sponsors; 3 Democrats.

Those who support continuing taxing tips say it will bring in needed revenue for the crooks in CON-gress to blow out their rectums on unconstitutional spending (like junkets to ‘talk trade’) and proxy wars (Ukraine) or useless undeclared wars like Iraq, Afghanistan, Viet Nam.

Last month the U.S. House barely passed the Big Beautiful Bill Act which does eliminate taxes on tips and overtime but seniors[1][2] will still get royally screwed by double taxation.  President Trump potsted on X: “The Bill includes MASSIVE Tax CUTS, No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Overtime, Tax Deductions when you purchase an American Made Vehicle, along with strong Border Security measures, Pay Raises for our ICE and Border Patrol Agents, Funding for the Golden Dome, “TRUMP Savings Accounts” for newborn babies, and much more! Great job by Speaker Mike Johnson, and the House Leadership, and thank you to every Republican who voted YES on this Historic Bill! Now, it’s time for our friends in the United States Senate to get to work, and send this Bill to my desk AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!”

Yes, less revenues to spend on this – The FDA (Federal Death Administration has been one of the most sadistic agencies right along with the FDA, NIH, Dr. Death Fauci and too any cosmetic manufacturers; if they sell in commie China, animals must be tortured to convince the God-less CCP the make-up (in all forms) works as advertised. That is why I only used plant-based cosmetics. I won’t even get started on that issue right now; I’d want to take my Glock and shoot this computer.

Images of week-old puppies convulsing from drug overdoses may finally become a thing of the past.  First Dogs, Then Humans.

How about the bills to get us out of NATO which is nothing but a big damn money war machine?  Dead every time.  A bill to get us out of the communist controlled, corrupt UN.  DOA. A separate one-page bill forbidding any companies, corporations, medical suppliers, hospitals, suppliers of electricity for your home to demand your social security number – the key to massive vote fraud. No one in CON-gress or my state legislature was interested in my bill to stop this gateway to your bank accounts and fraud.

A bill to stop all funding which supports the BIG HOAX called climate control.  A bill to abolish the head of the beast:  The (unconstitutional, privately owned) “Federal” Reserve Banking Act of 1913.  READ:  Rep. Massie Introduces Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act to “End the Fed“, March 5, 2025.  Here’s the bill.  10 Co-sponsors, all Republicans.  Of course, my GOP U.S. Rep. Arrington (who is a staunch supporter of double taxing seniors) is not a co-sponsor.

Great senators like Ron Johnson has suggested going line by line of the BBB so what needs to be vetoed can get thrown out.  Well, the clock is ticking so what’s the chances of that happening?  With the world on his shoulders, President Trump doesn’t have time to read every word and line in that monster bills.  He has to rely on his alleged loyal staff to put together abbreviated overview of what’s in the bill. Then when it all goes to sh*t, the other party can blame Trump or any sitting president. The game hasn’t changed.

The bottom line is all unconstitutional funding must be stopped but only a handful of U.S. reps and senators really understand this.  That BBB is a debt bomb.  I wish more than anything America can prosper; there is no reason for any legal American to go hungry in this land rich in natural resources.

If you have time, David Stockman has broken down the numbers and it’s not pretty.  (And please remember I’m the messenger trying to get you the truth so kindly refrain from sending me threatening or ugly email.)  You can only put so much air into a balloon before it busts.  This is worth the time to study by Former congressman, David Stockman, who was Reagan’s OMB director.

The Trumpified GOP’s Great Big Ugly Debt Bomb, May 21, 2025: “When it comes to the Donald’s Big Beautiful Bill there is one place, and one place alone, to start the discussion. We are referring, of course, to the built-in baseline of revenues, outlays and deficits under current Federal law and policy.

“Needless to say, the latest CBO baseline amounts to a five-alarm dumpster fire. If Congress does nothing about entitlements, tax law or current funding policy for defense and nondefense discretionary programs, the annual Federal deficit will reach nearly $3 trillion and 6.1% of GDP by the end of the 10-year budget window. Accordingly, total public debt will soar from today’s $37 trillion to more than $58 trillion by 2035.”

We can pray for Trump and also that some sanity enters the negotiations of the so-called Big Beautiful Bill. I hope in the future (starting 1 Oct, the American people demand their CON-gress critters stop with these monster bills and take each constitutional issue one by one, one bill at a time.  These are the ONLY powers the U.S. House and the Senate have, PERIOD:  Art 1, of the U.S. Constitution – socialists (liberals) and communists (progressives) pay particular attention to Art. 1, Sec. 8.

Let’s invite democrats to examine their own stupidities along with vacant mindedness—-and began the long, hard road back to reality—in order to serve the American people.

Wasn’t it sheer stupidity or just plain arrogance to watch Alzheimer’s victim Joe Biden for four years—stagger around, lost on stage, fell on his face, wandered into the woods, fell asleep at an international ecological conference, tripped on the steps going up Air Force One, read from a teleprompter because he couldn’t write or speak spontaneously, and visually showed everyone he was incapable of being the president of the United States.

And yet, his press secretary said Biden ran circles around her and the rest of the staff in the Oval Office. Along with Jill Biden, KJP carried on the biggest cover-up scandal in American history. All for the sake of “power” or personal importance.

This past week, you’ve seen Governor Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass condemning Trump for sending in the guard to quell anti-ICE demonstrations that boiled over into violence, looting, burning cars and Molotov cocktails being thrown at police. You gotta’ wonder what planet those two started their lives upon? They’ve promoted their Sanctuary State and City to the tune of 3,000,000 illegal aliens breaking every law in the books—yet they protect those illegal aliens over American citizens.

Writer Dan Gainor said, “Outlet after outlet has slipped the word “peaceful” into their coverage of the violent riots. There’s The New York Times with “largely peaceful” twice in the same story and one more “peaceful” for good measure.” Reuters said, “largely peaceful,” too. “The View,” scarily an actual ABC News program, had host Whoopi Goldberg claim, “it’s been peaceful for days.” Over at CNN, they said people were there to protest, “initially peacefully.” Even wars are initially peaceful. Till they aren’t. The Washington Post called the protests “muted,” and, honestly, we’d all love to see rioters muted or even gagged. Sometime comedian Jon Stewart went with, “peaceful protesters, mixed with anarchists and vandals.”

With our free press, the truth ultimately arrives on a platter to undermine liars, liars’ wives and politicians.

Those “brilliant minded” women on the TV Show, “The View” said, “An army turned inside to police its citizens can cause chaos and fascism.” Goldberg added, “Civil war.” Gainor said, “The idea that enforcing the law could lead to civil war is the kind of threat Marxists make. If you try to make me obey the law, I will break more laws.”

What astounds this journalist stems from the fact that the directors, producers and stars of “The View” simply hate America. They make a living out of it. Ironically, more than a dozen people watch their insipid program. Thankfully, MSNBC fired Joy Reid and Rachel Maddox because they got sick of their ignorant programs.

As to the cars burning in the streets, what’s the big deal? What’s the problem about all the businesses looted? Is that what a Sanctuary City is all about?

Spokesman Jory Rand said, “It could turn very volatile if you move law enforcement in there in the wrong way, and turn what is just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn into a massive confrontation and altercation between officers and demonstrators.”

At times, it’s difficult to understand the “mindset” of liberals. They live on this planet, and in this country, but their minds rotate around the moon.

Let’s look at journalist like CNN’s Dana Bash and Jake Tapper. They pretend to be journalist when, in fact, they turn every truth inside out and upside down.

Bash does what the left always does. She blamed Trump.

On her show, “Inside Politics With Dana Bash,” she ranted, “I know this is a promise that he gave on the campaign trail to do whatever he could to deport illegal immigrants. But what you just posted is basically an arsonist saying, ‘I better call the fire department because they got to come in fast to get the flames out.”

Yeah, right Dana. Maybe you could become a reporter for the “Daily News” in Podunk, Oregon.

Then you see Jake Tapper deny Biden’s vacant mind for four years, but denied his decline. But when the facts became undeniable, he wrote a book about how he and the rest of the media were fooled. No Jake, it’s called, “How I B.S.’d myself and the American public.”

While California burned, Newsom and Bass gave “excuse” speeches. While Border Patrol Head Tom Homan is doing his job to rid the country of criminal illegal aliens, Newsom and Bass do everything in their power to undermine America’s laws, border and society. Except, even Californian citizens are sick of paying out billions in welfare, medicaid, prison housing, schools going into the gutter, homelessness, drugs and crime.

When you look at the whole mess of “liberal” California, Washington State, Oregon, Illinois, New York, Massachusetts, and places like Maine—you cannot help but wonder what’s in their drinking water? How do you feed and/or sustain the mindlessness of a “liberal mind?”

How do you support biological men smashing the hopes and dreams of biological women? Well, that “vacant” liberal mind does just that. It supports that which cannot be supported—-not biologically, morally, ethically or rationally.

How do you support U.S. AID cheating, lying, scandalizing and screwing the American taxpayer out of trillions of dollars over the past 50 years? Guess what? It’s all about “mindset.” A liberal can rationalize the lying, cheating and stealing—-as long as it’s going into their NGO’s pockets.

At some point, we need to introduce an academic class in our high schools that our teens must pass in order to be released into our country: “Logic, reasoning and critical thinking.”

That class is desperately need by Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin, Joe Scarborough, Brian Stelter, Jonathan Karl, Jake Tapper, Dana Bash, Rachel Maddox, and everyone at CNN, MSNBC and NPR. That’s my invitation to liberals. I will teach the class!

Oh, and by the way, I LOVED the 250th Anniversary of the United States Army Parade. Every man and woman who has served our country in the Navy, Army, Marines, Air Force and Coast Guard gave their lives that we might enjoy our lives. God bless America!

For decades, the Islamic Republic has crushed the soul of Iran under its iron fist, a tyrannical regime that has bled its people dry, sowing terror, poverty, and despair. This monstrous machine, built on fanaticism and oppression, has choked the life from a proud nation, silencing voices with brutality, imprisoning dreamers, and executing dissenters.

But now, the ground shakes with the fury of a people awakening. The Iranian masses are rising, their rage a wildfire, fueled by years of suffering and ignited by a blazing truth: Israel, led by the indomitable Benjamin Netanyahu, has become their liberator, striking the regime’s heart with unrelenting force. This is no time for whispers or hesitation—this is the hour of thunder, the moment for Iran to seize its freedom and for Israel to repay an ancient debt forged by Cyrus the Great 2,500 years ago.

Image created using ChatGPT.

The Islamic Republic is a cancer, devouring Iran’s spirit and spreading its poison across the Middle East. It has turned a once-vibrant civilization into a prison, where women are beaten for showing their hair, where youth are tortured for daring to dream, and where entire communities are starved to fund the regime’s proxy wars.

The ayatollahs, cloaked in false piety, have looted Iran’s wealth to build missiles and militias, leaving millions in poverty while their Revolutionary Guards crush skulls and break spirits. This is not governance—it is slavery. The regime’s nuclear ambitions, a dagger aimed at the world, have only tightened the noose around Iran’s neck, chaining its people to a future of isolation and fear.

But the chains are breaking. Israel’s Operation Rising Lion, a relentless storm of precision strikes, has smashed the regime’s nuclear facilities, obliterated its military command, and gutted its ballistic missile arsenal. Over 200 targets— command centers, enrichment sites, fuel depots—lie in ruins, their ashes a testament to Israel’s resolve.

Netanyahu, a warrior-king in the mold of ancient heroes, has not merely attacked; he has unleashed a reckoning. “We will hit every site, every target of the ayatollah regime,” he declared, his words a clarion call to a people yearning for liberation. The regime’s leaders, from Khamenei to his bloodthirsty generals, are not just shaken; they are packing their bags, their grip on power crumbling as Israel’s jets roar over Tehran.

This is no coincidence but destiny. Over 2,500 years ago, Cyrus the Great, Persia’s enlightened ruler, freed the Jews from Babylonian captivity, restoring their dignity and homeland. Now, Benjamin Netanyahu repays that ancient debt, not with words but fire and steel.

Israel’s strikes are not just military—they are a beacon, a call to arms for every Iranian who has suffered under the regime’s boot. “The time has come for the Iranian people to unite around your flag and its historic legacy,” Netanyahu thundered, echoing the cry of “Woman, Life, Freedom – Zan, Zendegi, Azadi.” This is not Israel against Iran; this is Israel and Iran’s true sons and daughters against a common enemy—the murderous Islamic Republic that has oppressed both nations.

Iranian people hear this call. The streets pulse with defiance across cities and villages, from Tehran to Tabriz. Social media burns with voices proclaiming what the regime fears most: “The vast majority of us Iranians, 90% or more, support Israel,” one post declares, capturing the sentiment of millions. The 2022 “Woman, Life, Freedom” uprising showed the world Iran’s courage, as women burned their hijabs and men faced bullets for liberty.

Now, with the regime’s defenses shattered and its commanders dead, the moment is ripe. This is not a protest—it is a revolution. The Iranian people are not begging for scraps; they are ready to tear down the ayatollahs’ empire and reclaim their nation.

The regime’s retaliation—missiles raining on Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Haifa—only exposes its desperation. These are the death throes of a beast cornered, lashing out as its power collapses. Over 100 missiles and drones, launched in their so-called “True Promise 3,” have killed innocents, including children, in Israel.

But Israel stands unbroken, intercepting threats with iron resolve, its people united, its military unmatched. The regime’s boasts of “strategic targets” are hollow; their strikes are reckless, their defenses porous. Netanyahu’s warning—“More is on the way”—is no idle threat. Israel’s campaign will not stop until the ayatollahs’ regime is ash, its nuclear dreams buried, and its terror machine dismantled.

This war is Iran’s chance, its only chance, to rise. The regime’s weakness is laid bare: its commanders dead, its nuclear sites in ruins, its economy crippled. The Iranian people must seize this moment, flooding the streets in millions, tearing down the symbols of oppression, and driving the mullahs from power. The opposition, though fragmented, pulses with potential. Exiled Prince Reza Pahlavi, heir to Iran’s proud monarchy, is the only chance for a free Iran. Israel’s strikes have cleared the path; now the Iranian people must charge through it, armed with courage and the dream of a nation reborn.

Israel’s fight is Iran’s fight. Netanyahu’s vision is not just the destruction of a nuclear threat but the liberation of a people. The ayatollahs have brought Iran to its knees, but Israel has given it a sword. “Your light will defeat the darkness,” Netanyahu told Iranians, and they are answering. The regime’s days are numbered, its lies unraveling, its terror crumbling. This is the hour of reckoning, when Iran’s ancient glory will rise again, hand in hand with Israel, as brothers in freedom. The thunder of rebellion rolls; the Islamic Republic will fall.

The Iranian people’s thunderous rebellion

There is only one place to get workers for the returning industries, and that is from the able-bodied multi-generational Communist welfare recipients in our Inner cities. Many of them are functionally illiterate, so remedial education will be required. On the plus side, many can speak a variation of English and have had free healthcare. From personal experience, I know that one of the big problems will be to get them up in the morning to go to work. Personal responsibility is not a Communist virtue in the inner cities.

These people don’t want to work because the federal establishment has been unconstitutionally paying them not to work in numerous ways for generations. For many, their major occupation is fornicating and crime, resulting in prison and an early death. But we know from many great examples that these people can succeed as productive members of our society.

The problems are the government’s failure to educate the people and welfare from conception to the grave. All welfare for the able-bodied (including single mothers) must cease. Single mothers should be given daycare so they can work, and fathers, not the public, should pay their fair share.

You can’t hire illegal invaders because most of them have no education, no skills, don’t speak English, or have not had adequate medical care. More importantly, they don’t integrate well, if at all. They must be deported, regardless of the cost. Employers who hire them can and should be charged with treason (see Constitution), but I would not advocate it, as lesser charges with stiff fines will suffice.

One of the major objections against deporting illegals is their usefulness as farm workers. Farmers can get all the legal migrant farm workers they need but they don’t want to pay for the additional costs involved.

Even if we get the workers we need by removing unconstitutional welfare from the able-bodied, our economy could still fail because a majority of government is a criminal enterprise, enriching only the wealthy.

We can’t afford silly programs rife with kickbacks designed by bureaucrats in the Administrative State. Nor can we afford unconstitutional foreign aid, wars for profit, or supporting our troops in 150 countries (like canaries in a coal mine). Most members of both parties in Congress who vote for these actions should be voted out of office, for they are drenched-in-blood criminals.

The illegal invaders, with support from the blue cities and states, likely will require federal troops to remove them with deadly force. The Federal Establishment must cut off all federal funds to blue cities and states who don’t cooperate. Unconstitutional Federal money has been financing Communism in the inner cities.

The Coup of 1913, which replaced tariffs with income taxes, allowed this treason to occur. The Federal Government was totally financed by tariffs and excise taxes until the Coup of 1913. Note, it is impossible to have a Constitutional Republic with Federal Income Taxes.

God Bless You and the Republic

June 15, 2025

There are many things in this world I will just never understand.  For example, how is it that I can’t seem to grow a simple patch of grass in my back yard no matter what I do?  I can prepare the soil, plant a variety of grass seed, fertilize it, water it, fence it off to avoid traffic, nurture it for months, and yet still end up with a barren patch of dirt.

Meanwhile, the tiniest crack in the concrete of my driveway will yield a steady crop of healthy grass and weeds, no matter what I do to stop it.  It laughs at my use of weed killer, digging it out by the roots, and filling the crack with fresh concrete.  In a day or two, the grass and weeds spring up again, mocking me; saying derisively, “you can’t stop me!”

One time, in a desperate attempt to grow something in my backyard dirt patch, I pulled some of those driveway weeds out of the cracks by the roots and carefully transplanted them to the back yard.  If they can survive weed killer, no water, no soil, no care — and me, an avowed enemy — surely, they could grow in a well nurtured bald spot.  “Nope,” it said, “I’m not going to cooperate with you.”

Go figure.  I’ll never understand it and have resolved myself to the maddening reality of the situation.  Now here we are…summertime in Wisconsin again.  My backyard bald spot is still bald and my driveway weed pulling is a weekly chore.  But if all I did was curse those weeds — if I didn’t pull them out by the roots — and if I wasn’t diligent to do so steadily, they’d take over the whole driveway in no time, spreading like a cancer.

But there’s a much more dangerous and insidious weed flourishing all across our nation, which is most active in summer, but thrives all year long.  This is a hideous and invasive weed of unspeakable sin, debauchery, perversion, child abuse, mental illness and pride.  It began sprouting up through the cracks in the concrete jungles of our cities, in back alley ways and private clubs.  Today, it flourishes in all areas of government, in our schools, and even our churches.

It invades our entire atmosphere.   It disguises itself in pretty rainbow colors, but if we were to see it as it actually is, we’d see the truth — that it’s not just a weed, but rather, an invasive black mold, climbing the walls of our homes, schools and churches, embedding itself deep into the fabric of our society and infecting the hearts, minds and souls of our young people….causing them to do unspeakable things to their own bodies.

Most people today have simply given up the fight against this “Creeping Charlie” invasion.    While acknowledging that it is, indeed, a weed, they have resolved themselves to the notion that “a weed is just a flower that’s not growing where we want it to.”  But this isn’t just about how your driveway, your home, your community and our nation “looks.”  It’s about the constant assault on the very foundation of our sanity — and more importantly, it’s about allowing the laws of nature and nature’s God to be spat upon, despised, ridiculed and pridefully mocked.

Do you value your home?  If you knew the foundation of your home was cracked, broken and deteriorating, and soon your whole house would come tumbling down, you’d find a way to get it repaired as soon as possible.  If you had black mold growing inside your walls, now spreading to even the outside of your walls and ceilings and making everyone in your home sick, you wouldn’t “tolerate” it, you’d eliminate that deadly fungus.  Well, our foundations are crumbling.  Our children are deathly ill from the mental confusion foisted upon them by those in authority.

Yet most remain complacent and disinterested — and some even help this weed, this mold, this fungus, this disease — to spread and thrive.  Even otherwise perfectly sane people have now caught this “woke mind virus” and their consciences have been seared. While most of us still don’t participate personally in this “death-style,” it’s now become normalized, and we’ve legislated unspeakable immorality.

By now you should know I’m talking about the abomination of the LGBTQP+ cult.  The demon of homosexuality has been preying upon mankind since the fall, but it was always rare — and not so long ago, considered a mental illness.  But the demons have discovered a myriad of ways to evangelize and recruit others — especially young people — into their hedonism.  Studies from two years ago showed that 67% of regular church goers believed that same-sex so-called “marriage” was a perfectly valid “alternative lifestyle” and should be legally recognized and affirmed.  I would guess that number is even higher today.

In 1999, Bill Clinton declared June to be “Gay & Lesbian Pride Month.” In 2009, Obama added “Bisexual” and “Transgenderism” to the celebration.  Today, there are “Pride” festivals, parades and celebrations in just about every town and city in America, and worldwide during the month of June.  And the things that take place at these events should shame us all…yet we celebrate them.  The size and scope of these parades and festivals far surpass even those of the 4th of July.

I have some experience with this.  For several years, I attended the “pride” parade in Columbus, Ohio.  I went there with a small group of Christians to witness to the lost souls in the parade and in the massive crowds.  With few exceptions, our efforts were futile.  As should be expected, we were always viciously attacked.  Our message could not be heard because the sodomites — and their allies — would blow trumpets, bang on drums, and yell and scream like demons so we could not be heard.

They’d put bullhorns up to our ears and scream obscenities to us until we were deaf.  We were punched and kicked, spat upon, shoved, pushed to the ground.  Signs we held were ripped from our hands, as were Bibles, which were destroyed in front of us.  Police would keep a close eye on us to make sure we didn’t cause any problems or commit any crimes, but the crimes against us were simply part of their entertainment for the day.

Meanwhile, we would watch in horror as parents would bring their little children to the parade, faces painted in rainbow colors, little boys wearing girls’ tutus, and the sodomites would hand out candy and rainbow colored balloons to them.  Some were given rainbow-colored condoms. Men dressed as bizarre female prostitutes would have their pictures taken with 4-year-olds.  And the parade would feature every business and corporation you could think of — from Target stores to UPS.  Even the City of Columbus itself had a float in the parade.

The first year we went, I counted no less than 40 floats in the parade sponsored by churches — some of their signs read “God thinks you’re fabulous,” and “God loves gays.”  The floats in the parade were bad enough, with nearly-nude men and women gyrating suggestively, simulating sodomite sex.  Then there were the leather men, totally naked except for a “g string” and a dog collar, led on a leash by their sodomite masters.  And within the crowd, along the sidewalks, totally nude or nearly nude men would be simulating sodomite sex within a few feet of onlooking little children.

One year, I had some signs made up for the parade that had some extremely powerful messages on them.  But the one they hated the most read, “Do you think this is appropriate for children to see?”  They hated this sign because it exposed their real agenda. Our group had spread out along the parade route, and my wife happened to be holding this sign a few feet away from me.  They hated that sign so much, one of them came up behind her, and kicked her knees out from under her.  As she fell to the ground, they stole the sign and threw it over a bridge into the river below.  Before anyone could do anything, that perpetrator was gone.

In another instance, as our message was being drowned out by the trumpets, drums, screaming and bullhorns, we learned that the leader of this particular group of attackers was a Lutheran pastor.

I did manage to have one meaningful conversation at one of these events.  A lesbian and five of her friends came up to attack me and my wife.  God intervened and she was able to hear what I had to say.  But it was still so loud, with all the others on the street trying to drown out our message.  So I asked this college-age girl if we could move over to a grassy area, away from the crowds and have a discussion.  She agreed.

As we moved away from the crowd, one of her group said to me, “You’re the only nice one of these people out here!”  I said, “No, I’m not any nicer than anyone else in our group.  You just haven’t given them a chance to talk to you.”  Then, I explained how she had been lied to — by her teachers, her peer group, her pastors and those behind the scenes of the “rainbow cult.”  She didn’t like the thought of being purposely deceived and wanted to know more.  She argued that the church she attended affirmed her lesbian lifestyle, so surely I was wrong.  I was able to show her some Scripture verses, particularly those in Romans 1, and as I read them to her, the reality hit home. I asked her to read some verses herself — out loud for the rest of her group to hear.  She did, and then admitted that her “pastor” had never shown these Scriptures to her before, and she had no idea they were in the Bible.  What I’d said about her being lied to by the rainbow cult really hit home when she read Romans 1:25, about exchanging the truth of God for a lie.

We spoke for about a half hour, and then, tears began to well up in her eyes.  She hung her head, thanked me again for being “nice,” and then said, “I think I have a lot to think about.”  And then she — and her entire group — left the parade.  I still pray that God saved her…and her friends from the snares of this demonic recruitment.

It should be noted that this parade, at that time, had a half million people participating.    Now, it’s more than 700,000. An absolutely massive crowd, and ironically, they were all marching down Broad Street in Columbus, Ohio.  “Broad is the road that leads to destruction.”

Today, we’ve “progressed” from just “pride” parades and celebrations in June to more than 300 celebrations — all year long — dedicated to sexual perversion.  Here are just a few: In February, “LGBT+ History Month” and “Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week.”  In March, “Bisexual Health Awareness Week,” “Zero Discrimination Day” and the “International Transgender Day of Visibility.”  In April, “Asexuality Day,” the “Day of Silence” and the “International Lesbian Visibility Day.”  In May, “Queer History Month,” the “International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia.”  Also, “Pansexual and Panromantic Visibility Day.”

Following “pride” month in June, we have “Omnisexual Visibility Day,” “Lesbian Visibility Day,” “Non-Binary Awareness Week” and “International Drag Day.”  In August there’s “Gay Uncle Day.”  In September, “Bisexual Awareness Week.”  October brings “LGBT History Month” (again), “National Coming Out Day,” “International Pronoun Day” and “Intersex Awareness Day.”  November has “Transgender Parent Day,” “Trans Awareness Week” and the “Transgender Day of Remembrance.”  And December features “Pansexual Pride Day,” among others.

A couple years ago when I checked, I found 72 distinct different genders that were affirmed.  Today, in my research I found that number has grown to 134.  Almost double the number of “new” genders in just two years.  A few include Aerogender, meaning their gender changes depending on their surroundings.  There’s also Alexigender, where a person has a fluid gender identity between more than one type of gender but they cannot name the genders they feel fluid in.

And among the list of the 134 genders we’re now urged to affirm is Caelgender — this gender identity shares the qualities or aesthetics of outer space.  You can’t make this stuff up, folks.  Well, clearly you can, and we have.

Let me conclude by saying that while we should hate the sodomite demons, we should not hate those captured in their snares, but rather have the courage to confront these victims with the truth, help them understand their feelings, emotions and all this confusion is not natural, but instead they’re being groomed for exploitation and abuse.  Most of these people are victims of this cult — especially our young people.  You’ll rarely see a rainbow flag at a nursing home, but you’ll see plenty of them wherever children gather.  That’s not by accident.

No, this movement is not natural and hasn’t come about by chance.  It’s been nurtured from a tiny crack in the moral fabric of our nation.  Those who should have known better and should have done better ignored it, and now we have an uncontrolled infestation, an overgrowth of noxious weeds, a black mold enveloping the hearts, minds and souls of our young people, and it’s time we grow a backbone, stand up and start telling them the truth, rather than “loving” them straight to hell.  Stop cursing the darkness and instead light a candle of God’s truth to cast the demons out and ignite a holy healing across our land.

For the last 20 years I have reported on Agenda 21. As a result, when I ran for office I was put on the Southern Poverty Law Center list of domestic terrorists. I was yelled at, called names, and had people walk out of seminars that I conducted. But it didn’t matter. The truth is the Truth, and once you see it you can’t unsee it! The truth doesn’t go away. It doesn’t change from person to person, from story to story, from show to show.

We created a wonderful group of patriots, called The Agenders (patriots exposing and ending Agenda 21).

I said we were like farmers sowing the seeds of the plan called Agenda 21. We were educating the people and asking that they share the message. Today, I can see that evil plan unfolding right before my eyes.

The Globalists are determined to Destroy our way of Life

They are determined to make sure that no one, except them, owns anything including their own lives!

It is the Goal of Globalists to own, and control, EVERY ASPECT of Human Activity.
I am happy to see that many wonderful American Patriots have decided that the truth is most important; owning their lives and living their own lives is more important than living as a slave under the dictates of a technocratic group of evil criminals. We can no longer depend upon our government to bring us the Truth on anything. We prayed and we voted for Donald Trump, considering the circumstances and uphill battle, is doing an amazing job.

The tentacles of Agenda 21 are so very deep and so distorted. The Marxist youth of the ’60s have become the rulers of today. They use the climate hoaxes to spread their warped and twisted ideology. Carbon dioxide is not the enemy. Carbon dioxide sustains life. Without CO2 we would be dead.

That is the Goal: Global Depopulation

Plants thrive on carbon dioxide. Animals thrive when plants thrive, because food is abundant. Fossil fuel creates energy, which is a source of power. According to these globalists abundant cheap energy cannot be given to the ordinary population.

Land cannot be controlled by an ordinary person, because it creates inequity. Therefore, the government must control all land. Everything, and I mean everything, will be systematically doled out to only those who continue to carry forward the distorted globalist message.

Remember their goal: DEPOPULATION. Less people, less problems. We must become Truth Warriors.

Their goal is the only thing that counts, and their goal is to depopulate the planet as quickly as possible.

On today’s show you will hear about vaccines and the destruction that they are doing to humanity. They have turned humanity into a group of Lab Rats and we are subjects of their experimentation on all diseases known to man.

They lied, and tried to kill all of our cows for farting. They killed millions of chickens, for no reason. They are trying to destroy our food with biochemicals. What we see is an attack on Humanity, because they hate Humanity.

To Globalists, we are too stupid, to be allowed to live!

How do we get rid of these people? We must continue to fight. Our weapon of choice must be Truth. We must fight the media, call them out and not accept their lies. We must fight for true elections, vetting people but recognize that no one is perfect.

If the candidate does not understand the goals of Agenda 21 or Agenda 2030, then they don’t belong in office. We must do that by paying attention to our primaries. If we don’t get the right people in office, the President’s Agenda for the people stops. Our legislators in our states anre stopped, and insane rules and regulations stay in the forefront.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to watch the 2 documentaries in the links below…

Make sure that you and everyone you know, vets new candidates and votes in the Primaries. We can no longer have RINOS elected by 19% of the vote, and be happy.

• Can a single district judge order everyone in the country to do something?
• What are the limits on the powers federal judges can exercise?
• While the case United State v. CASA is about birthright citizenship, the question before the court is how far does a district judge’s power extend.

Birthright citizenship has been a very hot topic for the last few years. When Donald Trump signed an executive order that quoted both the Constitution of the United States and federal law, claiming that would be the policy of the United States, that triggered multiple lawsuits. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in United States v. CASA, but rather than focusing on the birthright citizenship question, they were asked to resolve the question of nationwide, or universal injunctions.

ORAL ARGUMENT OF GEN. D. JOHN SAUER ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANTS

First up is Solicitor General of the United States, John Sauer, on behalf of the United States.

GENERAL SAUER: Mr. Chief Justice, and may it please the Court:

On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order 14,160, Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship. This order reflects the original meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment, which guaranteed citizenship to the children of former slaves, not to illegal aliens or temporary visitors.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

Trump’s Executive Order not only quoted the Fourteenth Amendment, but restored its original meaning. During the Senate debate on the joint resolution that would become the Fourteenth Amendment, Senator Jacob Howard Merritt proposed adding the words “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” This was his explanation on the floor on 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

This makes it quite obvious that the legislative intent was to limit birthright citizenship to children of parents who were subject to the United States, rather than other nations. That didn’t stop multiple judges from attempting to maintain this unconstitutional view of birthright citizenship.

Multiple district courts promptly issued nationwide or universal injunctions blocking this order, and a cascade of such universal injunctions followed. Since January 20, district courts have now issued 40 universal injunctions against the federal government, including 35 from the same five judicial districts. This is a bipartisan problem that has now spanned the last five presidential administrations.

Universal injunctions exceed the judicial power granted in Article III, which exists only to address the injury to the complaining party. They transgress the traditional bounds of equitable authority, and they create a host of practical problems.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

What is the jurisdiction of lower courts? When created by Congress, the District and Circuit Courts were given specific geographical limitations to the cases they could hear. Generally, a court only has jurisdiction over the parties to the case. However, what happens when one of those parties is the United States of America?

Such injunctions prevent the percolation of novel and difficult legal questions. They encourage rampant forum shopping. They require judges to make rushed, high-stakes, low-information decisions. They circumvent Rule 23 by offering all the benefits but none of the burdens of class certification. They operate asymmetrically, forcing the government to win everywhere while the plaintiffs can win anywhere. They invert — invert the ordinary hierarchy of appellate review. They create the ongoing risk of conflicting judgments. They increase the pressures on this Court’s emergency docket. They create what Justice Powell described as repeated and essentially head-on confrontations between the life-tenured and representative branches of government. And they disrupt the Constitution’s careful balancing of the separation of powers.

I welcome the Court’s questions.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

Solicitor General Sauer points out what, to me, are the two greatest problems with these injunctions. Not the “percolation of novel legal questions”, but forum shopping and low-information decisions.

Forum shopping, the practice of finding a judge who agrees with you, not only shows that our current justice system is neither blind, nor a-political. The question of low-information decisions is something we’ll come back to in this article.

ORAL ARGUMENT OF JEREMY M. FEIGENBAUM ON BEHALF OF THE STATE AND CITY RESPONDENTS

Before we get to questions, let’s listen to the oral arguments of Jeremy Feigenbaum on behalf of the government respondents.

1. FEIGENBAUM: Mr. Chief Justice, and may it please the Court:

This Court should deny the emergency application because this injunction was properly designed to ensure that the states would get relief for our own Article III injuries as we suffer significant pocketbook and sovereign harms from implementation of this Executive Order, including from the application of this EO to the 6,000 babies born to New Jersey parents out of state every year.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

It shouldn’t surprise you that the attorney for the clients who were getting their way think the injunction was properly designed. I will show during the questioning that this is based both on the elevation of precedent above the law and the low-information decisions of the judges.

The U.S. prefers alternative approaches for granting that relief, alternatives it never raised in the district court below. But its approach would require citizenship to vary based on the state in which you’re born or even turn on or off when someone crosses state lines, raising serious and unanswered administrability questions not just for the federal government but also for the states.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

This statement about 6,000 babies born out of state confused me at first, along with state based citizenship. That, too, will make more sense as we go through questioning.

And it would offend the text and history of the Citizenship Clause itself. Since the Fourteenth Amendment, our country has never allowed American citizenship to vary based on the state in which someone resides because the post-Civil War nation wrote into our Constitution that citizens of the United States and of the states would be one and the same without variation across state lines.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

The statement about citizenship being uniform among the states is true, but not the way New Jersey and the other respondents think it is.

The U.S. has claimed that Article III establishes a bright-line rule barring such injunctions no matter the circumstance, even where the states do need it to meet their own harms, finds no support in this Court’s cases or in the history of equity.

Its argument that a single district court cannot decide birthright citizenship or that we need more percolation on that question for the nation overlooks that this Court already settled this exact constitutional question 127 years ago and that this EO is contrary to over a century of executive practice.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

While the Constitution doesn’t mention injunctions, Article III does state:

The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;

U.S. Constitution, Article III, Section 2

The question is, how far does that case extend? The arguments on both sides have merit, at least in certain circumstances. I’ll delve deeper into this as we go through the article.

Finally, the U.S.’s objection that nationwide PIs have simply become too common in the last few months, a complaint about other injunctions sought by other parties, cannot undermine the extraordinary bases for this one. The states, who regularly come before this Court as plaintiff and defendant alike, agree that nationwide relief can be reserved for narrow circumstances, but it was needed here.

I welcome this Court’s questions.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

To me it seems the problems of forum shopping and overly broad injunctions create a positive feed-back loop. Attorneys search for a judge who will be sympathetic to them, who then issues a nationwide injunction, thus encouraging more forum shopping.

ARGUMENT OF KELSI B. CORKRAN ON BEHALF OF THE PRIVATE RESPONDENTS

Lastly we have Kelsi Corkran, attorney for the private respondents.

1. CORKRAN: Mr. Chief Justice, and may it please the Court:

The executive order’s stripping of citizenship from U.S.-born children is contrary not only to the Fourteenth Amendment’s plain text but also our common law history, this Court’s precedent, a federal statute, and over a century of executive branch practice.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

Except that order is not contrary to the Fourteenth Amendment, but fulfills its stated purpose. It also fulfills federal law. It may be contrary to court precedent, but the Supreme Court is not the supreme law of the land, the Constitution is.

Every court to have considered the issue agrees that the order is blatantly unlawful, a determination the stay application does not challenge.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

I believe that the judge of most, if not every court that has considered this issue, was appointed by the political opponents of President Trump. Is it that hard to believe that such judges would lean toward opposing the Trump agenda?

The government instead argues that Article III and equitable tradition categorically prohibit providing nonparty relief from the order’s enforcement regardless of the order’s illegality or the irreparable harm it inflicts.

The government is wrong. It is well settled that preliminary injunctions may benefit nonparties when necessary to provide complete relief to the plaintiffs or when warranted by extraordinary circumstances, both of which are true here.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

Again, I see both sides of this issue. Let’s face it, the same people fighting against these injunctions didn’t complain when they were against President Biden. After all, when the President does something unconstitutional we look to the courts for redress, but when we think the President is acting constitutionally, we hate the idea of his agenda being obstructed.

The Court should reject the government’s efforts to stay a preliminary injunction that maintains a status quo all three branches of government have ratified and operated under for over a century and that prevent the catastrophic consequences that will result for the plaintiffs and our country if the government is allowed to execute an unconstitutional citizenship-stripping scheme simply because legal challenges take time.

I welcome the Court’s questions.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

There is some logic to retaining the status quo while the courts look at the merits of the cases, especially since the status quo is over 100 years old. But do the District Courts have that authority?

Universal Injunctions

Justice Thomas seemed interested in the origins of these universal injunctions.

JUSTICE THOMAS: General Sauer, the — these universal injunctions, as you say, have proliferated over the last three decades or so. Would you discuss, though, the origins of universal injunctions? In particular, I’m interested in sort of historical analogues or the historical pedigree, particularly the bill of peace that was proffered by Respondents.

GENERAL SAUER: Yes, Justice Thomas. As you, I think, first pointed out in your separate opinion in Trump against Hawaii, the bill of peace is something very distinct from a universal injunction. So the bill of peace involved a — a resolution of a small, discrete set of claims of a small, discrete group. And, even more fundamentally, it was binding on the members of that class and those represented by the class. So it’s much more analogous to a modern class action under Rule 23.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

The justices spent a lot of time considering something called a “bill of peace.” An English court practice from back in the 17th and 18th century, it allowed the English Court of Chancery to settle the question of rights from multiple parties into a single case. Today, we have Class Actions to handle similar situations. I believe Rule 23 is the primary rule governing class actions suits.

JUSTICE THOMAS: General, when were the first universal injunctions used?

GENERAL SAUER: We believe that the best reading of that is what you said in Trump against Hawaii, which is that Wirtz in 1963 was really the first universal injunction. There’s a dispute about Perkins against Lukens Oil going back to 1940. And, of course, we point to the Court’s opinion that reversed that — that — that universal injunction issued by the D.C. Circuit and said it’s — it’s profoundly wrong.

So, when the Court has considered and addressed this, it has consistently said you have to limit the remedy to the plaintiffs who are appearing in court and complaining of that remedy.

JUSTICE THOMAS: So we survived until the 1960s without universal injunctions?

GENERAL SAUER: That’s exactly correct. And, in fact, those were very limited — very rare even in the 1960s. It really exploded in 2007 in our cert petition in Summers against Earth Island Institute. We pointed out that the Ninth Circuit had started doing this in a whole bunch of cases involving environmental claims.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

So if this nation survived until the 1960s without universal injunctions, why do we need them now? More importantly, what changed to authorize them? I think Justice Alito got right to the point.

JUSTICE ALITO: So what do you say about the — the practical problem? So put out of — let’s put out of our minds the merits of this and just look at the abstract question of universal injunctions.

What is your response to what some people think is the practical problem? And the practical problem is that there are 680 district court judges, and they are dedicated and they are scholarly, and I’m not impugning their motives in any way. But, you know, sometimes they’re wrong, and all Article III judges are vulnerable to an occupational disease, which is the disease of thinking that I am right and I can do whatever I want.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

Isn’t that the real problem? 680 district court judges, all of whom think they could not be wrong and many of them willing to jump to conclusions about the merits of the case before even hearing them. Then, based solely on their assumptions about the case, issuing injunctions as if they were laws that needed to be followed. That, however, is not the only instance of judicial hubris exposed in this case.

Judicial Hubris

Next, Justice Sotomayor got into a back and forth with Solicitor General Sauer.

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: So can I ask you a question? Your theory here is argue — arguing that Article III and principles of equity both prohibit federal courts from issuing universal injunctions. Do I have your argument correct?

GENERAL SAUER: We argue both of those and there are independent reasons.

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: You argue both of those?

GENERAL SAUER: Yeah.

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: If that’s true, that means even the Supreme Court doesn’t have that power.

GENERAL SAUER: The Supreme Court would have the authority to issue binding precedent nationwide, but as this Court —

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: But we couldn’t enforce it against — universally is your argument?

GENERAL SAUER: If there was a — a — a decision that violated the precedent of the Court, then the affected plaintiffs could get a separate judgment.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

Interesting question: What are the limits on the Supreme Court? They can issue decisions, what General Sauer calls “binding precedent,” but I challenge the “binding” part of that statement.

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.

We have the Wong Ark case, where we said fealty to a foreign sovereign doesn’t defeat your entitlement — your parents’ fealty to a foreign sovereign doesn’t defeat your entitlement to citizenship as a child. We have another case where we said that even if your parents are here illegally, if you’re born here, you’re a citizen. We have yet another case that says, even if your parents came here and were stopped at the border and — but you were born in our territory, you’re still a citizen. And we have another case that says, even if your parents secured citizenship illegally, you’re still a citizen.

So, as far as I see it, this order violates four Supreme Court precedents.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

First of all, Supreme Court precedents are not law; only Congress can make law. A party to the case can violate their decision, but no one else. Besides, the first “precedent” Justice Sotomayor refers to, the Wong Kim Ark case, actually violates both the Constitution and federal law.

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)

The Supreme Court said that the child of parents who were subjects of the Emperor of China was a citizen because the parents were permanent residents at the time of his birth. But the Fourteenth Amendment clearly states:

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

Not only that, but federal law states:

• 1401. Nationals and citizens of United States at birth
  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 – Immigration and Nationality Act

So how can the child of parents who are subjects of the Emperor of China be granted citizenship at birth? The answer is simple, the Supreme Court simply violated their oath and effectively rewrote the law. And now, Justice Sotomayor wants to use that decision, and the subsequent cases, to effectively rewrite the Constitution, claiming that the words “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” don’t matter. She claims the decisions of the Supreme Court supersede the supreme law of the land.

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: And you are — and you are claiming that not just the Supreme Court — that both the Supreme Court and no lower court can stop an executive from — universally from violating that holding — those holdings by this Court.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

I believe she meant that the courts cannot stop the executive branch from “violating” their decisions. That is absolutely correct. Alexander Hamilton stated this in Federalist Paper #78.

The judiciary, on the contrary, has no influence over either the sword or the purse; no direction either of the strength or of the wealth of the society; and can take no active resolution whatever. It may truly be said to have neither FORCE nor WILL, but merely judgment; and must ultimately depend upon the aid of the executive arm even for the efficacy of its judgments.

Federalist Paper #78

Justice Sotomayor then brought up the other side of the issue. Not the idea that universal injunctions are wrong, but when they’re used in support of another agenda.

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: — so, when a new president orders that because there’s so much gun violence going on in the country and he comes in and he says, I have the right to take away the guns from everyone, then people — and he sends out the military to seize everyone’s guns — we and the courts have to sit back and wait until every named plaintiff gets — or every plaintiff whose gun is taken comes into court?

GENERAL SAUER: In appropriate cases, courts have certified class actions on an emergency basis. We found at least four cases in recent years where that was done.

But, more fundamentally, we profoundly disagree with the characterization of the merits.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

I, too, disagree with the characterization of the merits, but she does make a point. How would the Solicitor General, or others for that matter, react if the President signed an EO to confiscate our firearms. We could argue that the Second Amendment prohibits that, while the Fourteenth Amendment limits birthright citizenship to those who are subject to the United States, but that doesn’t deal with a fundamental issue: Are we OK with universal injunctions when they benefit us, but not when they oppose us?

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: We can act quickly if we are worried about those thousands of children who are going to be born without citizenship papers that could render them stateless in some places because some of their parents’ homes don’t recognize children of their nationals unless those children are born in their countries.

They’re not going to be receiving federal benefits because that’s the claim of the — of the — of the plaintiffs here that — of the state plaintiffs, that they’re going to — they’re not going to be able to provide services to those children.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

That is the complaint of the states: They won’t be able to provide services to these children. That is the point though, because they aren’t citizens, they are not entitled to those services. Justice Kagan stepped in it a bit farther.

JUSTICE KAGAN: And — and — and for four years, there are going to be, like, an untold number of people who, according to all the law that this Court has ever made, ought to be citizens who are not being treated as such.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

Except the court doesn’t make law. In fact, the claims that people like Wong KimArk are citizens are themselves illegal, since they violate the Fourteenth Amendment and 8 USC §1401. The fact that the court got it wrong over 100 years ago does not change the fact that these children do not legally qualify for citizenship. Furthermore, since they think they are citizens they do not attempt to naturalize, which would give them the legitimate rights of citizens, except for the chance to be President. Justice Jackson brought up another issue.

Think about it. The question at hand is: What is the personal jurisdiction of the courts? Is it only the parties to the case or is it anyone they think is involved? In fact, General Sauer had an interesting comeback.

But, more fundamentally than that, it is a feature, not a bug, of Article III that courts grant relief to the people who sue in front of them. So the notion that relief has to be given to the whole world because others who have not taken the time to sue are not before the courts —

JUSTICE GORSUCH: Last — last —

GENERAL SAUER: — is something that results in all of these problems.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

So many of the justices see the limitations on their injunctions as a failure; a bug in the Constitution. However, the idea that unelected judges from any level of the federal judiciary can issue orders they claim have legal force, completely destroys the concept of a government’s just powers coming from the consent of the governed. We delegated legal powers to elected branches, Congress the power to make law, the President the power to execute those laws, but the courts only have the power to decide controversies.

It appears that Solicitor General Sauer has also missed this point.

JUSTICE KAVANAUGH: I want to ask one thing about something in your brief. You said: “And, of course, this Court’s decisions constitute controlling precedent throughout the nation. If this Court were to hold a challenged statute or policy unconstitutional, the government could not successfully enforce it against anyone, party or not, in light of stare decisis.” You agree with that?

GENERAL SAUER: Yes, we do.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

It appears to be drilled into law students’ head that ‘stare decisis,” Latin for “let the decision stand,” is the supreme law of the land. I would have liked to remind him and the Justices of the Supremacy Clause.

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land;

U.S. Constitution, Article VI, Clause 2

Earlier this year this court decided in the Dobbs case that the Roe court got it wrong back in 1973. Is it really that hard to believe that the same court has been getting the Fourteenth Amendment wrong since 1898?

Forum Shopping

Forum shopping is the practices of choosing where to file your lawsuit based on the likelihood of your case being assigned to the sympathetic judge.

JUSTICE KAGAN: I guess what I worry about here, Ms. Corkran, is that this case is very different from a lot of our nationwide injunction cases in which many of us have expressed frustration at the way district courts are doing their business.

And, you know, our — our — the typical way in which that frustration emerges is that questions, legal questions, are hard, and they’re come complicated, and different courts would decide them differently. And, instead, because of the forum selection process, a party goes to one place. You know, in the first Trump administration, it was all done in San Francisco, and then, in the next administration, it was all done in Texas.

1. CORKRAN: Right.

JUSTICE KAGAN: And — and — and there is a big problem that is created by that mechanism, and that leads to the questions to you and to General Feigenbaum, which is, like, you know, your third buckets, which are, oh, if it’s, like, super-important or if it’s quintessentially national or whatever the way — you know, is not going to solve our problem for that set of cases, which is not this case.

This case, what’s problematic about it is that the courts keep deciding the same way, and nobody really thinks that the lower courts are going to do anything different.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

Where Justice Kagan sees a no-win case, I see the effectiveness of forum shopping. Since every one of these cases were brought to oppose the Trump agenda, I don’t think it’s s stretch to think they searched for judges that would agree.

Low-Information Decisions

One of the issues with any preliminary injunction is the fact that they are made before the case is decided.

JUSTICE KAGAN: This is not a hypothetical. This is happening out there, right? Every court has ruled against you.

GENERAL SAUER: We’ve only had snap judgments on the merits. You know, obviously, we’re fully briefing the merits in the courts of appeals, and our arguments are compelling.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

When you get to choose the judges, when you prepare the battlefield, of course you’re going to have the advantage. Does that mean the other side is wrong? Should a judge be allowed to impact not just the parties to the case, but the entire nation, without all the facts? Justice Jackson pointed out:

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

I didn’t count how many times justices pointed out that the government has lost every decision so far, but did they? After all, not a single case I’m aware of so far has actually come to a decision. All that has happened is that individual judges, hand picked by those promoting birthright citizenship, believe they’ll eventually win. After all, one of the conditions necessary for the issuing of preliminary injunctions or temporary restraining orders is that belief that the their position will win. These are the kind of snap judgments Solicitor General Sauer talked about.

And that kind of snap judgment on the merits that was presented in the lower courts is exactly the problem with the issue of racing to issue these nationwide injunctions.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

And that, I think, should be the central point of the government’s position. That District judges, making decisions based on little data and a lot of emotion, should not be able to use their position to effectively dictate policy for the nation.

Interstate Citizenship

Let’s go back to the statement made by Mr. Feigenbaum, several times, about 6,000 babies born out of state going into New Jersey.

And we have in New Jersey 6,000 babies born out of state every year when they come into the state and they need benefits. The Boyle declaration from Massachusetts suggests that’s going to cover 40 percent of kids. They come into our state. They need benefits. We have to do citizenship verifications, which is a burden for us.

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: That’s for you in New Jersey, but there’s I think how many states?

1. FEIGENBAUM: That’s just an example.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

So I think I’ve figured it out. If SCOTUS says these courts can only issue injunctions or restraining orders for the parties to the case, then what happens when said order only impacts one or two of the 50 states? In this case, some states would award citizenship based on birth, others based on the citizenship of the parents. According to Mr. Feigenbaum, that means a child would be a citizen in one state, but not another, forcing New Jersey to reverify the citizenship of every child who applies for benefits. Is that how it would work? Yes, under those circumstances, a child would be a citizen if born in one state and not another. Then, if a child born in one state is not a citizen, do they suddenly become one when they cross state lines? The answer is, not unless Congress passes a law that says they do. So far, no such law exists, which means Mr. Feigenbaum’s next statement doesn’t make much sense.

So individuals will move in. When they were born, they were treated as noncitizens. They didn’t get Social Security numbers because they wouldn’t have been eligible for the enumeration-at-birth program in their states, and they’re going to arrive and they’re going to seek benefits that we administer.

But federal law requires that they have Social Security numbers for the administration of those benefits. This is 7 U.S.C. 2025 for SNAP, 42 U.S.C. 1320b-7 for TANF, for Medicaid, and so on. So they’re going to need to have Social Security numbers. They’re going to arrive without them even though they were under this Court’s precedents, citizens who should have been in the enumeration-at-birth program, and who should have had Social Security numbers. And it’s going to be a burden on us either in delaying the benefits, training county social service workers in having to administer benefits without the — without the SSNs on a provisional basis.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

Federal law requires a Social Security number to receive benefits because it requires these benefits be for citizens. If a child is not a citizen, they don’t have a right to benefits.

And then the last point is we’ve never in this country’s history since the Civil War had your citizenship turn on when you cross state lines. So we don’t have answers to these workability questions, not just because it wasn’t presented in the district court, not just because it’s two sentences in an emergency application, but because, for over a century, executive practice has been uniformly to the contrary, building on this Court’s decision in Wong Kim Ark. So we genuinely don’t know how this could possibly work on the ground.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

That’s because citizenship doesn’t change when you cross state lines, whether you’re dealing with someone born overseas or in one of the United States.

Conclusion

It will probably be some time before we know how the court decides this case. However, this is what I’ve gleaned from the oral arguments.

First, I’m with the United States on the fundamental question of universal or nation-wide injunctions. After all, when Congress created the District Courts, they put them in limited districts for a reason. Do we really want unelected judges effectively setting national policy through their injunctions? After all, forum shopping will continue to allow petitioners to seek out a friendly judge to aid their cause. Especially when those judges are issuing injunctions long before the merits of the case are heard.

Then there’s the question of judicial hubris. First we have Mr. Feigenbaum, who seems to think the Supreme Court supersedes the Constitution.

And I don’t see how you could have a stronger merits showing than we have here: 127 years of Supreme Court precedent, over a century of executive practice, and congressional statutes that codified both into law in 1940 and 1952.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

After all, who can blame him. Law schools apparently don’t teach the Constitution anymore, and Justice Sotomayor reinforced this lie.

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.

We have the Wong Ark case, where we said fealty to a foreign sovereign doesn’t defeat your entitlement — your parents’ fealty to a foreign sovereign doesn’t defeat your entitlement to citizenship as a child. We have another case where we said that even if your parents are here illegally, if you’re born here, you’re a citizen. We have yet another case that says, even if your parents came here and were stopped at the border and — but you were born in our territory, you’re still a citizen. And we have another case that says, even if your parents secured citizenship illegally, you’re still a citizen.

So, as far as I see it, this order violates four Supreme Court precedents.

Trump v. CASA et. al. – Oral Arguments

Again, Justice Sotomayor seems to ignore the fact that the Wong Kim Ark case directly violates the Constitution of the United States. That, ladies and gentlemen, is the height of judicial hubris.

Where does all of this leave us? Well, it certainly isn’t an answer to the question of birthright citizenship. And I doubt we’ll get a satisfying answer on the question of nationwide or universal injunctions. At best I expect the court to find a way to come up with a very limited decision that focuses on the facts in this case. I could be wrong, but somehow I don’t expect this court to establish the nationwide precedent either party really wants.

Disposing of the EV Batteries

The toxicity of Electric Vehicle batteries, from old or burned-out EV’s, is an even UGLIER side than what is shown in the Larry Elder documentary “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, of Electric Vehicles”

The recent California fires, where the Palisades and Eaton fires have collectively destroyed at least 12,000 structures, had a higher-than-average numbers of electric vehicles, officials said. Those fires provided a real time sequel of an uglier side of EV’s not discussed in the recently released Larry Elder documentary “Electric Vehicles: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly”, i.e., how to dispose of those old or burned out EV batteries.

After the wildfires ravaged homes in Los Angeles, California, cleanup crews faced a new challenge: Electric car batteries that can explode when damaged as shown on 60 Minutes.

It’s appalling that the policymakers, JUST in wealthy countries, are setting “green” policies that continue to support humanity atrocities and environmental degradation in poorer developing countries that are mining for the exotic minerals and metals to go “green”.

In those wealthy countries, government mandates and tax incentives for people to buy EVs are shockingly a way to provide financial incentives for China and Africa to continue the exploitation of their people with yellow, brown, and black skin that mine for the exotic minerals and metals needed to construct an EV battery, and inflicting environmental degradation in their developing countries so those in wealthier developed nations can go “green”.

Lithium-ion batteries have become a mounting issue after wildfires, given the rising sales of hybrid and electric cars, particularly in California. It is well publicized that California will require 35% of new vehicles sold in the state to be zero-emission by 2026, and all new vehicles to be zero-emission by 2035, BUT the State lawmakers totally avoid any discussions about the Uglier side of Electric Vehicles – how to dispose of the batteries from old or burned-out EV’s.

These are just a few of the subjects that Net Zero policymakers NEVER discuss:

1. Lithium-ion batteries are very touchy. If they’re punctured, crushed or overheated, they can short-circuit, catch on fire or even explode. Things can get nasty when they do. EV battery fires can reach temperatures topping 1,000 degrees and emit toxic gases.
2. Extinguishing an EV battery fire requires a large amount of water, potentially thousands of gallons, depending on the specific battery and fire conditions. EV battery fires can take hours and tens of thousands of gallons of water to extinguish — unique challenges for firefighters. Lithium-ion batteries, particularly those using nickel manganese and cobalt oxide (NMC) cathodes, are more prone to thermal runaway and require even more water.
3. Burning electric vehicles (EV) batteries release toxic gases that pose risks to health and the environment. These gases include hydrogen fluoride, which can cause severe respiratory and skin damage. When burned, these batteries also release toxic vapors such as hydrofluoric acid and can leach toxic heavy metals into the ground.
4. If damaged or overheated, lithium-ion batteries can ignite or even explode — residual heat sets off a chain reaction that causes the batteries to heat up uncontrollably and spontaneously combust, a process that can happen over days, weeks or months.
5. Additionally, the combustion of EV batteries can release other toxic substances like carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide, and heavy metals, according to a news article from the University of Miami.

As cleanup efforts continue in the Los Angeles area neighborhoods marred by wildfires, one of the biggest challenges is the large number of lithium-ion batteries that were caught in the flames. The cleanup process is complex and resources intensive.

The California Office of Emergency Services has already sent hazmat teams to inspect homes in the Palisades and Eaton fire areas for lithium-ion batteries and flag where they’re present. The EPA has what it refers to as a battery recovery team that oversees efforts to collect them. Chris Myers, a lithium-ion battery technical specialist involved in the EPA cleanup, said. “It is very likely that these batteries were not all consumed in the fire, so now they’re damaged, which means they’re all dangerous,” he said. Myers explained that the battery systems in hybrid and electric cars are well-protected, so even vehicles that were damaged by the fires may still have charged batteries.

Handling the batteries requires a great deal of technical sophistication and care. The EPA team must wear flame-resistant clothing underneath disposable protective suits. Masks cover their faces, and either come with insertable cartridges to filter out chemicals or attach to air tanks. The crew blocks off the area where it’s working and keeps water on site in case flames erupt.

Before they can be sent to a waste or recycling facility, the collected batteries must be de-energized so that they hold no charge or very little charge. To do that, Myers said, the EPA will likely use a process developed after the Maui wildfire in 2023, which involves submerging the batteries in a solution of saltwater and baking soda. Once the batteries have lost their charges, they can be crushed with a steamroller or shipped to a facility in special packaging and eventually sent to a recycler who can salvage the critical minerals in them.

Readers are encouraged to view the Larry Elder documentary “Electric Vehicles: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly“ to learn more about the shell game wealthy countries are using to exploit developing countries to support so-called clean and green electric vehicles, and decide for themselves if the world economies and the environment can accommodate EV’s to satisfy the transportation needs for all, not just the few elites on this planet.

And now, as the early EV are aging, we need to deal with an even uglier side of Electric Vehicles –disposing of the toxic EV batteries from old or burned-out EV’s, that are polluting the air we breathe and the grounds we walk on.

June 13, 2025

I live in Virginia – but OHIO is my home! I was born and raised in the small city of Newark. My first political action began in 1968 when I founded Youth For Fair Government. I gave my first speech to a committee of the Ohio Senate for a bill I had helped to create.

In 1969, I Founded Licking County Youth for Decency In America. We actually organized one of the nation’s first volunteer walkathon charities – we called it Miles for Millions.

In 1974, I ran for a seat in the Ohio Legislature to represent the 30th House District. It was a slim little district covering Ohio State University, basically designed for a radical leftist. And the incumbent fit the bill perfectly. I didn’t win in that year of Watergate when Republicans were wiped out across the country. But for ten years after I held the record for doing the best against the incumbent.

For the past 30 years I have been deeply involved in studying and exposing the most diabolical attack on Freedom the world has ever experienced. For my efforts I’ve been called a conspiracy theorist, hate monger, and a domestic terrorist. The Southern Poverty Law Center has honored me with four separate reports, saying I have created a career out of spreading false accusations about a simply voluntary environmental idea called Agenda 21.

Recently I spoke in Montana. There was a young reporter who was anxious to debunk anything I said. He asked question after question. Finally, I got up to speak. After I left the stage and walked back to my literature table – there he was again. Referencing my speech, he said, “some of what you said sounded a bit like hate speech.” I turned, looked at him and I said, “Yep, it was – they hate it when I say it!” I didn’t get any more questions from him.

Since the beginning of human society there has always been an individual or a force that was determined to control it all. They organized armies, invaded, broke things, and killed people, subjugating those that were left. Today, we are up against such a force – just as determined to control us – but these guys have found a new weapon to get us to VOLUNTARILY surrender our liberties. Tyranny is so much more peaceful this way!

Now, what could be such a powerful weapon to get us to do that? The tactic is FEAR! — Fear of What? — Environmental Armageddon. The tool of Choice – Climate Change. The Threat – “It doesn’t matter how many rights you think you have if you don’t have a planet to stand on.”

And there it is. Every aspect of our society is targeted – from our money supply, to the energy system, to our food supply, to the education system, to the sanctity of our own home – to the very system of freedom created by our founders. It’s all under attack.

Most Americans today tend to think of private property simply as a home – the place where the family resides, store their belongings, and find shelter and safety from the elements. It’s where you live. It’s yours because you pay the mortgage and the taxes. Most people don’t give property ownership much more thought than that.

But there was a time when property ownership was considered to be much more. Property, and the ability to own and control it, was life itself. The great economist John Locke, whose writings and ideas had a major influence on our nation’s founders, believed that “life and liberty are secure only so long as the right of property is secure.”

John Locke advocated that if property rights did not exist, then the incentive for an industrious person to develop and improve property would be destroyed; that the industrious person would be deprived of the fruits of his labor; that marauding bands would confiscate by force the goods produced by others; and that mankind would be compelled to remain on a bare-subsistence level of hand to mouth survival because the accumulation of anything of value would invite attack.

In short, human civilization would be reduced to the level of a pack of wolves and eventually cease to exist because a lack of control over your own actions would cause fear and insecurity. Private property ownership, Locke argued, brought stability and wealth to individuals, leading to a prosperous society of man.

From the very beginning, the United States was guided by the idea of private property ownership. It was written into our governing documents. Property and freedom – one cannot live without the other. James Madison said, “As a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights.”

John Adams argued, “The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence.”

In today’s America, private property is quickly being destroyed across the nation, and note the growing lawlessness that is beginning to surround you. The fear of climate change has become the excuse for government to grow and dictate how every strip of land will be used.

Have you ever wondered why these forces of “voluntary tyranny” focus so hard on the environment? They won’t even engage in a debate over the so-called science of their claims.

That’s because the environment does not recognize political boundaries. The environment crosses rivers, fields, and mountains, all of which cross over national borders, state borders, county borders, city borders, and the boundary lines of your yard!

That fact has given massive new power to those forces that seek to change our way of life and system of government. Who can stand in the way with a climate crisis at hand? So goes the argument.

As a result, the pack of wolves is quickly raiding every foot of this nation. Lawlessness controls our society as incentive, ingenuity, and entrepreneurship give way to fear of a government tyranny that drives for control, regardless of clear constitutional rights and the legal system that was designed to protect them.

“It’s an emergency! We can’t waste time on petty laws to protect your silly liberties!” Step by step, freedom dies, leaving shattered dreams, as tyranny grows. Private property is the key to a free society – and that’s exactly why most of the climate change farce focuses on controlling or eliminating private property.

At the beginning of its hold on America, the Biden cabal issued Executive Order 14008. The order, titled America the Beautiful, established a plan to lock away 30 percent of American land by 2030, under the pretext of protecting the planet. The federal government already has 270 million acres under its control — now, under 30×30 it’s driving for another 680 million to be locked away from private use.

The latest threat to property owners is carbon capture pipelines designed to take thousands of acres of farmland to bury co2 underground to “save the environment.” Of course, any middle school science teacher can tell you that co2 is not a pollutant and every living thing desperately needs it. But politicians at every level of government are falling for this lie as they pad their pockets while grabbing vital farmland You’re starving? Oh well – this is just how it’s done!

Eminent domain land grabs are turning millions of acres of vital farmland over to monstrously rich and powerful corporations like Blackrock and Vanguard – to feed their own vision of how human society must function. As more and more farmland disappears under wind turbines and solar panels, which produce next to nothing for our power grid, there’s little room to grow the food we need to survive. As a result, thousands of farmers are forced to just give up.

We can’t just fight this battle through Congress. We must also fight here on the local level – in the state legislature, in your community, and in your yard. We’ve seen what can be accomplished when angry moms get involved in the local schools to protect their children. Those moms are fighting with passion. We need the same passion to protect our property.

We must keep this fact in mind; we are not outnumbered – we are out-organized! The property rights of individual owners must be protected. That’s the key to individual and community prosperity. You are all experiencing the effects of government’s blind control of your property. They don’t care.

If you are determined to protect private property rights, then you need to start with a good definition of what private property is. Too many people think it just means a place where you pay to store your stuff.

Here is a definition that was written a few years ago by a Washington State Supreme Court Justice – Richard B. Sanders:

“Property in a thing consists not merely of 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 right of use be denied, the value of the property is annihilated, and ownership is rendered a barren right.”

We are very polite people. We keep trying to defend liberty. Today, we need to get off the defense and take the offense. I think we can do that by taking that definition of private property as our banner and start demanding our rights.

If you are serious about winning to preserve your freedom, don’t wait for President Trump to do it for you. He has enough to do. Get off the couch, stop making excuses, and take your own action. That’s what our founders did! The American Policy Center (APC) has created many tools and strategies to help local activists to fight back effectively. Many are provided in our Activist Handbook which teaches you how to build a “Freedom Pod” in your community. We’ve done the hard work. Follow those teachings and you can start to make a difference. Bottom line — it’s time for you to be responsible for protecting your own freedom!

Have you noticed that the crowds protesting ICE tend to be full of “reporters” and “journalists.” A CNN reporter and his camera crew were detained by Los Angeles police while “covering” the protests.

Congressional hearings are being held into “Biden’s Cognitive Decline” when the cover-ups and lies by the media are far more serious. They lied about Biden and then tried to profit from their cover-ups through book deals. As someone involved in media criticism for more than four decades, first with the media watchdog Accuracy in Media, I can safely say the media’s conduct has gotten far worse over the years.

What is the solution? To take a current example, the FBI must understand that what is behind the LA riots — and before that, the George Floyd riots – is a network of communist groups that will exploit any cause for the purpose of destabilizing the United States.  The media try to obscure these facts.

A law intended to jail subversives, the Communist Control Act, is on the books (50 U.S. Code § 841). The Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi can enforce it, leading to mass incarceration of identified communists.

The role of one communist group, the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), is apparent for all Americans to see, as their banners and signs carry their names and are being mass produced and seen on television. Members of communist groups have been involved in firebombing Tesla dealerships and assassinating the two Israeli embassy staffers on the streets of Washington, D.C.

Regarding the media, consider the outlet Bloomberg, financed by the billionaire Democrat who ran for president, Michael Bloomberg, which has covered the LA riots by insisting there were only “skirmishes” with police and that protesters only threw “bottles.” The coverage is ridiculous to those with a casual familiarity with the video of the riots.

Bloomberg is a Democrat “oligarch” who just endorsed Andrew Cuomo for Mayor of New York City, an incredible development considering that, as governor, Cuomo spread the China virus, COVID-19, into nursing homes, killing old people. Cuomo resigned as governor after being accused of sexual harassment.

Bloomberg reporters are not permitted to criticize Democrat politicians. Hence, they are a major part of the problem, just like CNN.

By contrast, over at MSNBC, a liberal outlet, I was surprised to read that a columnist by the name of Anthony L. Fisher acknowledged “a tiny but disproportionately destructive element of the L.A. protests” consisting of “masked vigilantes beating driverless Waymo cars with their skateboards before setting them ablaze.” He also acknowledged the “looting of shoe stores, cannabis dispensaries and an Apple store — among other places of business.” He called these “acts of cowardly and nihilistic violence” and tried to blame them on Trump, a bizarre claim.

While admitting the reality of the violence and recognizing the abundance of Mexican flags reflecting foreign influence, he failed to note that the “masked vigilantes” are hard-core communists and anarchists. I follow these people, who openly advertise their plans and tactics. They are not hiding from authorities.

Comcast-owned MSNBC is the channel in the middle of a lawsuit filed by FBI director Kash Patel against former FBI agent Frank Figliuzzi, an MSNBC analyst who describes himself as the FBI’s former Assistant Director for Counterintelligence and was “directing all espionage investigations across the US government.” No wonder these communist groups established connections with Beijing and Moscow under the noces of the FBI under Biden.

Figliuzzi claimed Patel spent more time in “nightclubs” than inside the Bureau’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. “Yeah, well, reportedly, he’s been visible at nightclubs far more than he has been on the seventh floor of the Hoover building,” Figliuzzi said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” a program whose host, a former GOP congressman, vouched for Biden’s mental fitness. They were lying.

MSNBC later tried to correct Figliuzzi’s statement, admitting it was unverified. Indeed, he cited no evidence.

My point is this: if questions about Biden’s mental fitness are legitimate, what about the mental fitness of MSNBC and this former FBI counter-intelligence official? One hopes that Patel goes beyond suing these former officials to purging them from the Bureau.

Ultimately, in terms of media malpractice, the blame is on the “journalists” and their corporate bosses, but the role of that former FBI official brings the matter to a higher and more disturbing level. The lies started at the top of Biden’s FBI and they spread to the media.

I survey several media outlets daily and it is easy to discover that the Terry Moran School of Journalism is alive and well in media organizations too numerous to count. Moran is the ABC “journalist” fired for posting his own personal hatred for Trump White House officials, including Trump himself. He was open about the media bias that exists in all legacy media outlets, including Bloomberg, NPR, and PBS.

When I worked for Accuracy in Media, the watchdog group, I was lobbying for a federal spending cut-off of these “public” outlets decades ago. The Republicans never cut their funding.  That is why I am skeptical of the spending cuts in the “Big Beautiful” bill.

Moran is one of many “journalists” educated in the “interpretative” school of journalism, popularized by Marxist Curtis MacDougall, a professor of journalism at Northwestern University who was a Castro sympathizer and anti-Joe McCarthy activist who rooted for George McGovern for president. McGovern ran on such a far-left platform that he was crushed in the 1972 presidential election.

I had been assigned MacDougall’s biased “textbook” when I studied journalism at the University of Toledo, a development that caused me to join Accuracy in Media after I arrived in Washington, D.C. after graduating from college.

What we should have learned by now, but which is deliberately obscured by the media, is that Marxists are trained not to solve problems but to exploit them, on the road to socialism and communism. This is why the Communist Control Act was passed. It declared, “The Congress finds and declares that the Communist Party of the United States, although purportedly a political party, is in fact an instrumentality of a conspiracy to overthrow the Government of the United States.”

Under these circumstances, the CPUSA and its spin-offs can be identified and its members jailed and/or deported.

The communist -inspired protests do not just “pop up,” as CNN claimed. They are carefully organized to spread chaos and anarchy, with the help of the media.

The communists were prepared when George Floyd died. Our cities were still burning when the BLM, a group run by lesbian Marxists, called for defunding the police, resulting in more black lives being lost as gun violence rose in those same cities.

BLM was in the forefront of a Maoist cultural revolution that few people seemed to grasp. Now we are in anther phase of the revolution.

To understand how journalism has been “fundamentally transformed,” please read this report, “Saving the World For Socialism,” on how Curtis MacDougall trained today’s “progressive” journalists.” As noted, MacDougall conceived “interpretative reporting,” the name of his textbook, and inspired many journalists to embrace this far-left worldview. We see the results all over the place, with Terry Moran, formerly of ABC News, just one more visible example.
​
As for FBI director Kash Patel, a lawsuit against an MSNBC commentator and former FBI official is worthwhile but what is really needed is FBI monitoring and infiltration of literally dozens of communist groups that are stoking the violence on the streets.

Until we understand the communist revolution in our midst and get serious about addressing it, America cannot be saved. President Trump must continue to enforce the laws on the books, including the Alien Enemies Act and the Communist Control Act, but he must go one step further and challenge the “authority” of the federal judges and even the Supreme Court when they usurp or undermine his authority to put down the insurrection.

In addition, Mr. President, this is not the time to be going to the Kennedy Center for a performance of “Les Misérables,” as Trump did on Wednesday night. Instead, as commentator Allan Wall argues during my Rumble TV broadcast, a wartime address to the nation is required, in order to justify crushing the insurrection once and for all and putting the communist agitators behind bars where they belong.

Start Date, June 14, 2025: Flag Day In The USA, And Donald Trump’s Birthday.

Sa’ad bin Atef al-Awlaki, the newly appointed leader of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), has issued a call for all of the 4.5 million Muslims living in America to kill Americans and their leaders.

Start date: Sat., June 14. Flag Day for America, when a giant parade is planned in Washington DC.

Donald Trump has stated that Iran is ‘much more aggressive than just days ago.’

The man calling for violence follows in the tradition of the Muslim leader, Anwar al-Awlaki, martyred in 2011.

Yemeni-American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, the leading English-language propagandist for al-Qaida, was killed in an American drone strike in 2011. According to the Combating Terrorism center at West Point, his influence has lived on, enhanced by his status as a martyr for Islam in the eyes of his admirers. His death, during Obama’s first term, was the first deliberate killing of a US citizen by his own government via presidential order. (emphasis mine)

Ok, a hunch here. Might this killing have been perpetrated by our own Muslim in the White House at the time, as the ultimate ta’qqia (lie) to get reelected? Obama knew that this act would make the man into a martyr, and strengthen, not weaken the Islamist cause. It would also serve the purpose of “clearing up” the skepticism about Obama’s “true faith”.

In a 2008 interview with George Stephanopoulos, you may recall, Obama referred to his “Muslim faith”, which he quickly corrected. All sources remind us that Obama has since “consistently identified as a Christian” Whatever.

Let’s get on to business.

Here, from World Population Review, is the 2025 population – BY STATE – of Muslims in America.

From a high in NY State, of 724,475, or 3.8% of the state’s population, to a low in Hawaii, of 200 residents who consider themselves Muslim. Odd, that, since our Muslim former President has chosen that state to call home. Might he know it is safer when the “potty politics” hits the fan??

To date, only posts on X tell of Muslim participation in the LA riots; nothing confirmed by “credible’ news sources. The social media tell of involvement of the Muslim Brotherhood of LA, and mention seeing Arabic words meaning, “lawlessness”, among the perps.

I’ll go out on a very short sturdy limb here, and guess that, given the 504,000+ California residents of the Muslim faith, and their faith-bred hatred for America, there ARE plenty of Muslims involved in the violence in Los Angeles. This will likely be the case in demonstrations around the country, GIVEN THEIR LEADER’S CALL TO KILL AMERICANS.

The Islamic faith believes that, in order to be a true Muslim, you must do one of two things: lie (ta’qyya) or do violence. (Jihad) The faith has two sects, Sunni (85%) and Shia (15%). The fundamental difference in beliefs is the locus of power and authority. Shia holds that authority stays with Muhammad and his descendants, while Sunni’s believe that the power resides in present day officials. the caliphs. The two sides have clashed through history; Sunnis have proven to be the far more violent sect.

The man calling for jihad in America is a present day official. Sunni. [Link]

Ta’qyya is, according to Britannica, in Islam, the practice of concealing one’s belief and foregoing ordinary religious duties when under threat of death or injury. The third chapter (sura), 28th verse of the Qu’ran, says believers should not show preference in friendship to unbelievers “unless to safeguard yourselves against them.

In our culture, that is known as lying.

Apparently, the time for lying is over, however, according to Sa’ad bin Atef al-Awlaki, and the time for violence – jihad – is here. The only question that remains is the depth of commitment of those practicing this kind of Muslim belief, in our nation.

Freedom of religion is, after all, one of the basics of our Republic. Horribly, our gift to the world could also be our undoing.

As the Trump Administration continues to negotiate for peace with Iran – which includes total nuclear disarmament – you can begin to see the issue in simple terms. The leader of Muslims in the Arabic Peninsula is calling for followers of Allah to do violence against us. He does not care, most probably, what our government is asking – regardless of any incentives Trump may offer. However, there remains hope, as I hear.

Last week, Putin offered assistance in negotiations withi Iran. Popular sentiment feels that we should not ignore that. An article this morning in The American Conservative talks of this.

No nuclear nation wants another one to join the club, for obvious reasons. Also, Russia wants to guard against destabilization along their southern border, of the type that the Ukraine conflict has created on Russia’s western flank. “For Moscow to be able to play that role, however, a fundamental condition needs to be met: The U.S. needs to set realistic objectives for a new deal with Iran. Trump’s public insistence on “zero enrichment” of uranium is a road to failure,” many feel.

“Moscow could help Washington and Tehran reach a deal by acting as a custodian for Iran’s surplus of low-enriched uranium. That would help ensure that Tehran does not accumulate a dangerous stockpile. Given Russia’s technical capabilities and existing nuclear infrastructure, this arrangement is both practical and verifiable.”

I am not an expert in the analysis of negotiations, especially of this depth and gravity. But, I am still not sure that this would reach the inner brain of a crazed religious radical. Prayers up, though.

I do believe that, given the violence called for from the American believers in the religion, that we must go forward with our eyes and ears wide open, tuned to this frequency.

It is one thing to watch new mosques being built, as in Maryland, Texas, et. al., or to read of the establishment of a Muslim city deep in the heart of Texas. Those are cautionary enough. It is entirely another to be attacked by one of the 44 million believers in our own back yards.

I am not here to spread fear, only awareness. I hope you and yours are able to pause at the “caution” sign, and inculcate all that it means in this case. Yes, some Islamist’s could try to do violence towards any of us. Yes, it is also far more likely that we can prevent or ameliorate some of this should it occur, by being observant and ready.

What does that mean? You are the one who can think about your own neighborhood, your workplace, your frequently visited places Please don’t be so fearful that you freeze or hide.

Just know your state, the location of mosques, etc. If you think they will listen, tell your local sheriff about it; hopefully, they already are aware.

This is a time to be alert, not paralyzed by the fear of what might be. I debated writing of this because I did not want you to go there. America is still the “land of the brave”, and each of you can be a part of that by knowing and sharing this information.

Freedom is never free.

June 12, 2025

Before writing this column, I want to make a correction noted by a reader in Thornton, Colorado, concerning my commentary on June 9, 2025: Consequences of 25 Million Illegal Aliens in America.

Frosty: “There were ten victims in the Boulder King Soopers shooting, not 13 as you stated in the piece. I was a civilian employee of the Boulder Police Department at the time and lost my friend and colleague Officer Eric Talley, the last to perish after nine civilians had been killed and before the slaughter was stopped by fellow responding officers. A correction would be welcome.” James D.

Thank you James for keeping me on top of my research on anything I present to the public. It’s extremely important to give accurate information to you, the public. The event took place on March 22, 2021. The killer is now serving 10 life sentences with no chance for parole.

We are all pained and give our prayers for Officer Eric Talley, and his friends and family. In so many ways, it tears at my soul at the loss of fellow Americans at the hands of illegal aliens—those who arrived in violation of our laws—and worse, to do harm to our citizens.

Let it be known that I try my level best to give you “ground level” reporting based on my observations and commensurate research. If I fail you, I fail myself. Thanks for keeping me on my journalistic toes.

Another thing along with James D.’s bringing to my attention, stems from the fact that our elected leaders continue making excuses for their incompetence, their violation of their oath of office, and their disregard for fellow Americans.

What’s happening in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, NYC, Boston and more cities, stinks. You’ve got governors, mayors and city councils opening their cities to lawlessness. Even worse, after the riots explode, clowns like Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass blame anyone but themselves. The reality remains: California encourages lawlessness by inviting lawlessness into its own population. When you create a lawless citizenry like we see in California, you’re going to see it explode because, right now, there’s got to be at least 1,000,000 illegal aliens in LA, alone. Another 2,000,000 around the rest of the state. Probably more!

And yet, you hear “newspeak” from Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass, like they practiced it right out of George Orwell’s book: 1984. They lie through their teeth. They obfuscate the facts. They’ve lied so much, they believe their own lies.

They pretend to be competent when they are the perfect example of The Peter Principle by Lawrence Peter. “In industrialized countries, people are promoted to their highest level of incompetence.”

In this case, you have so many illegal aliens in California, of course, they have registered to vote, and they voted for people who would protect them from deportation.

But the caveat remains: if you keep growing a third world illegal alien citizenry, it’s going to backfire. When you grow enough of them, they can and will overwhelm our systems of law and order.

If you noticed, you’re seeing a predominance of Mexican, Venezuelan, Guatemalan, Hamas, Palestinian and other flags being flown in all those demonstrations across our country.

One girl screamed out on a news report, “This land was stolen from Mexico. We want our land back.”

Soon enough, not only will you hear from our Muslim enclaves, “Death to America”, but in Sweden, they are boasting, “Sweden will become an Islamic caliphate…we only accept Sharia Law.”

College students supporting Hamas’ attacks on Jews spreads like wildfire across our eastern colleges. You’re seeing only Palestinian flags and NOT our Stars and Stripes. How could that happen in America? Well, it’s happening. That Jewish couple just got shot to death several weeks ago.

We better ask ourselves how far do we want to go down that “insurrection, sedition and chaos” rabbit hole?

The fact remains that Biden allowed over 12 million refugees with conflicting religions, cultures and world views. They will start demanding that we abide by their ideologies. It’s already occurring across our country this past week. It can only worsen as we import more of them, legally or illegally.

What’s beyond stupid grows beyond reason: our own youth are burning Old Glory and spitting on it in the streets of LA, and more than likely, across the USA. These kids didn’t serve in the military, while at the same time, our universities are teaching them to hate America. If you teach enough young people to hate America, it will fall into “insurrection, sedition and chaos” just like what happened with the George Floyd riots.

Yes, we encourage peaceful demonstrations in America, and it’s guaranteed by the First Amendment—but we cannot, should not and will not tolerate anarchy, looting, firebombing our police and stoning our law officers and National Guard.

The reality is, these riotous youth don’t have any “integrity” skin in the game. They don’t have any understanding of the costs of “freedom” in America. All of them need to be shipped off to North Korea, China or Russia to serve on the front lines of Ukraine. They would gain one heck of an education. Totalitarian dictatorships use anyone as they please and they kill people in a heartbeat.

Personally, we need to deport every single last illegal alien in America. You want to wave your country’s flag? Wave it in your own country. You want a better country? Then, work in your own country to make it better. We need to mandate English as our official language by Congressional Law. We need honest reporting by our mainstream media…which we don’t enjoy! We need governors and mayors and city councils to rescind “Sanctuary City” status…and follow our laws as put into place by our elected leaders.

We need to support our troops, our police officers, our firefighters, and our laws. We need those hellishly political animals in Washington DC to stand up for America and Americans. They need to work with Trump instead of against him. We voted him into office, so that’s his mandate. We need term limits, NOW! We need fresh minds to solve 21st century problems. Old men and Old women in Congress won’t and don’t get the job done. In fact, they don’t know what’s going on in America at the local level.

Finally, I am proud of America. I fly Old Glory outside my front door every day. I love this country because I’ve seen some really nasty countries around the world. We offer every American citizen the very best in opportunities no matter what their race, religion or color. Americans are the luckiest human beings on the planet. Wouldn’t you agree?

A dumb blonde on CNN defended Mexican agitators flying Mexican flags during the LA riots by saying it was not illegal to fly a flag. She missed the point. California became Democrat after Republican Ronald Reagan was governor because of the influx of Mexicans into the state. That is why they fly Mexican flags. This is THEIR state now, but it is only one of many still to be reclaimed from the United States and made into the new Mexican country of Aztlan.

At the same time, California under Governor Newsom became a Chinese colony. I think the two are related.

The National Guard and a few hundred Marines go only so far. The Trump Administration needs a plan that must move beyond mass deportations.

The movie “Reagan” shows the conservative governor and future two-term Republican president confronting unrest on college campuses such as Berkeley. The communist presence, however, extended far beyond the campuses. California Dynasty of Communism, a book by Karl Prussion, a former FBI informant in the Communist Party, has a history of what happened to the “Golden State.”

He wrote, “To all communists in the United States, California is the pilot area. The Golden State has been chosen to be the model Soviet state.”

In the performances of officials on all levels, from Mayor Karen Bass to Governor Gavin Newsom, the results of communism in California were exposed for all to see in the fires that devastated the region and now the riots. These are deliberate policies.

Under Newsom, California has been a major recipient of Chinese foreign direct investment. Bethany Allen-Ebrahimian, the China reporter for Axios, assembled the facts and figures about Chinese aid-and-trade with the United States, confirming that California is “hooked” on China. Of the top 10 states with the highest net trade with China. California is number one by far.

The Los Angeles mayor is a well-known Marxist, having traveled to Cuba with the Weather Underground-sponsored Venceremos Brigades. Her “friend and mentor,” Oneil Marion Cannon, was a top member of the Communist Party USA for decades.

The role of communists in California and therefore the national Democratic Party has been a national story and this is why, back in 2019, I had predicted California Senator Kamala Harris would be the Democratic presidential candidate in 2020. What I didn’t foresee was that she would be the vice-presidential candidate and then replace Biden at the top of the ticket in 2024.

The Bass mentor, Oneil Cannon, was described by the communist paper as a member of the Communist Party USA “who became the education director in the Southern California District, and a member of the Party’s Southern California and National Central Committees.” The paper continued, “Oneil Cannon counted among his friends many leaders and later elected officials of the African-American community. Paul Robeson was one of his valued friends; he would see him whenever he came to Los Angeles.”

Regarding his role in California, it said he “was committed to electing Black and Latino representatives at all levels of government” and helped to elect Augustus “Gus” Hawkins, Tom Bradley, Ed Roybal, Diane Watson, Maxine Waters, and Karen Bass.

The Mexicans were imported to help make this possible.

Paul Robeson was a black communist actor and singer who was a member of the Moscow-funded Communist Party, had professed love for Soviet mass murderer Joseph Stalin, and supported the Hitler-Stalin Pact that paved the way for World War II.

There was a time when Karen Bass was being considered a vice-presidential candidate on Joe Biden’s ticket. In the end, of course, Kamala got the job.

Short of a permanent military occupation, I don’t see how the state can be saved. It is owned lock, stock, and barrel by the Communist Party of China.

But China is not alone. Russia’s destabilization operations in the Middle East flooded Germany and other European countries with illegal aliens. It’s a communist tactic referred to as the “weaponization” of refugees and designed in this case to destabilize the United States.

The popular reality TV show “Border Wars,” on the National Geographic Channel, captures the determined efforts of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, ICE, DEA, the U.S. Coast Guard, and local law enforcement to keep our nation safe. They fight terrorism and apprehend drug smugglers. They also intercept people entering the United States illegally. These illegal aliens have become a weapon of war, just like in the Middle East.

Of course, some Republicans and big Republican donors, such as the Koch Brothers, favor more immigrants as well – as a means by which Big Business obtains cheap labor.

They are already here, to the tune of tens of millions.

Tragically, the Trump has released a dramatic video about the problem but has no coherent long-term solution.

One source of the problem is Mexico, a Narco-state, and another is China. Domestically, the problem is communism, a proliferation of communist groups and individuals that are already named in this article.

The puppet master is, of course, George Soros, who should be deported. Will the Administration take that step?

There are many grounds to do so. His native Hungary would be happy to take him and put him on trial.

Do it, Mr. President. Do it, Mr. Tom Homan. Act now.

And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod. -Mark 8:15

One of the things that I learned first and foremost in the life of Christ is that what I desired others to be for me (A Paul to a Timothy) is, in fact, what the Lord was and is training me up to be for others.

Though this has been difficult, the good news is that the Lord has bestowed upon me through regeneration (John 3:3; Titus 3:5) and empowerment by the same Holy Ghost that both Timothy and Paul received from the Lord (Acts 1:4), the ability to be a repairer of the breach.

Let me give you some examples of what I mean to convey here.

When I first made an entrance into the Church as a baby Christian, I noticed that what I was studying in the Bible and what I was seeing in the Church were 180 degrees diametrically opposed – complete polar opposites.

One day, and in all sincerity, I had asked the pastor of a church as to why he was doing what he was doing in contrast to the Word of God.   Without hesitation, he responded, “We don’t do things like this anymore.”  There’s the problem.

This was not at all what I wanted to hear nor was it what I expected from those that were deemed as the Church.
I expected a place of love toward God and towards one another (Matthew 22:37), a place of holiness, goodness and truth (In living for Him who died for us; 2 Corinthians 5:15) as diligent soldiers of the cross.

Of course, and as I have previously stated, what I observed was not at all what I read in the Word of God.  What I found, especially as a baby Christian, was a major disappointment in their biblical contradictions and illiteracy.

No wonder there is so much immorality, iniquity, confusion and disarray going on inside of what is called the church of today, it has clearly taken on the commandments of men in blatant disregard for the Word of God.

Jesus warned of this in Mark 7:18.  He rebuked the Pharisees for prioritizing man-made traditions over God’s commandments.  Therefore, the result will be what man can produce – more confusion and disarray (Daniel 9:7).

In Mark 8:15, in the first half of this Scripture reference, Jesus warns His disciples to watch out and beware of the leaven (wicked doctrines) of the Pharisees – the religious hypocrites.

One of the facets that the ministry has on its belt per se, is broadcasting a national radio program 6 days a week.

In the first 13 years of ministry, I was led to broadcast on AM 980 KKMS (Romans 8:14).  During the end of this time, a new manager came onto the scene and asked me to move from Christian radio to AM 1280 The Patriot (political/conservative) radio because he said that no one spoke as I spoke.  Okay.

This brought me into the world of politics where I now had to study and know the US Constitution to give the people the answers that they claimed they so desired.

In this process, we were asked to do speaking engagements across the country only to find a level of constitutional illiteracy, which explained the state of the country.  I found that these said conservatives had exchanged their obligation before God and man, in handing their country over to their favorite political idols (Acts 12:22).  This only happens when people feed on a narrative that does not even constitutionally exist, and this is what they were doing.

In Mark 8:15, Jesus did not warn of just “the leaven” (wicked doctrines of the religious hypocrites), but He also warned us of the leaven of Herod (wicked doctrines of political corruption).

By the way, this passage isn’t speaking of literal bread, but a metaphorical warning against the corrupting influences of religious and political hypocrisy.  The Pharisees are known for their strict adherence to the law (while straining at the gnat and swallowing the camel), as well as their hypocrisy, while Herod represents secular power and corruption.

Now, what is needed, when taking from my own experiences, is that the Lord did not turn me away from the issues, He was raising me up and bringing me directly into the Church and the government to show me how I can be a part of repairing the breaches.

Afterall, how could I, within myself, understand what needed to be repaired, rebuilt, raised up, etc. until He first brought me through the process of seeing what was breached and broken?  This is the road that the Lord leads His children down in bringing the answers to the world that it so desperately needs.

“And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.” -Isaiah 58:12

• Are U.S. gun manufacturers to blame for Mexican drug cartels?
• Can Mexico sue U.S. gun manufacturers for the criminal use of their products?
• Does the Protection of the Lawful Commerce in Arms Act mean what it says?

Cities and states have been trying to put gun manufacturers out of business for decades with frivolous lawsuits, blaming them for the criminal use of their products. This got to be such a problem that Congress passed the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. Now Mexico has joined the fight, blaming Smith & Wesson for their drug cartel problems.

Background

There are a couple of background items we have to establish for these oral arguments to make sense. First, even though Mexico is suing, Smith & Wesson are the petitioners because they are appealing the decision of the First Circuit Court of Appeals.

The Mexican Government has sued leading members of the American firearms industry, seeking to hold them liable for harms inflicted by Mexican drug cartels.

The district court dismissed the case under the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), which generally bars suits against firearms companies based on criminals misusing their products. But the First Circuit reversed. It held that PLCAA does not bar this suit because Mexico stated a claim that defendants’ business practices have aided and abetted firearms trafficking to the cartels, proximately harming the Mexican government.

Smith & Wesson Brands v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos – Petition for Writ or Certiorari

The second point we should keep in mind is that this is very early on in the case. Smith & Wesson moved for dismissal because the suit was not allowed under the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA). That’s why many of the arguments discuss allegations, because the court of fact, (the District Court), has not heard those facts yet. So this opening question is, can the case even be brought due to PLCAA?

NOEL J. FRANCISCO, ESQUIRE, on behalf of the Petitioners

As always, those who asked to be heard by the court offer their arguments first. Noel Francisco argued on behalf of Smith & Wesson.

1. FRANCISCO: Mr. Chief Justice, and may it please the Court:

Mexico asserts that American firearms companies are responsible for cartel violence ravaging Mexico. Its theory is that federally licensed manufacturers sell firearms to licensed distributors, who sell to licensed retailers, a small percentage of whom sell to straw purchasers, some of whom transfer to smugglers, who then smuggle them into Mexico, hand them over to cartels, who in turn use them to commit murder and mayhem, all of which requires the government of Mexico to spend money.

Needless to say, no case in American history supports that theory, and it’s squarely foreclosed by the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act.

Smith & Wesson Brands v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos – Oral Arguments

The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (15 USC Chapter 105) was created to protect gun manufacturers from nuisance lawsuits claiming liability for the misuse of their legally produced and sold firearms. Holding Smith & Wesson responsible for the actions of those five layers of abstraction away would seem to fit that description. There are, however, exceptions to the immunity from civil liability, including:

(A) In general

The term “qualified civil liability action” means a civil action or proceeding or an administrative proceeding brought by any person against a manufacturer or seller of a qualified product… but shall not include- …

(iii) an action in which a manufacturer or seller of a qualified product knowingly violated a State or Federal statute applicable to the sale or marketing of the product, and the violation was a proximate cause of the harm for which relief is sought,

15 USC §7903 – Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act

This is where the question of “proximate cause” enters in. This is important, since a significant amount of these arguments revolve around this question.

As to proximate cause, this Court has repeatedly said there must be a direct relationship between the defendant’s conduct and the plaintiff’s injury. But no such relationship exists if plaintiff’s injury is caused by multiple intervening independent crimes committed by foreign criminals on foreign soil to inflict harm on a foreign sovereign.

Smith & Wesson Brands v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos – Oral Arguments

Here’s the first problem for Mexico’s case. The alleged relationship between Smith & Wesson and the harm to Mexico is separated by numerous intervening actors, only some of whom are committing crimes, many of which are committed in Mexico, not the United States.

As to aiding and abetting, Mexico doesn’t identify a specific crime, criminal, or criminal enterprise that defendants supposedly helped. Instead, it asserts that defendants are liable for every illegal sale by every retailer in America because they know that a small percentage of firearms are sold illegally and don’t do more to stop it.

Smith & Wesson Brands v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos – Oral Arguments

That is not exactly what Mexico is alleging, but remember, these are lawyers arguing a case for their clients. Before we go on, we should answer one question: What is “aiding and abetting”?

To aid someone is:

to help or assist

Aid – Free Legal Dictionary

While abetting is:

To approve, encourage, and support

Abet – The Free Legal Dictionary

So for this case to be eligible for this PLCAA exception, Mexico must show that Smith & Wesson assisted, approved, and/or supported the crimes committed it getting their products into the hands of the cartels. Seems a pretty tall order to me.

Again, no case in history supports that theory. Indeed, if Mexico is right, then every law enforcement organization in America has missed the largest criminal conspiracy in history operating right under their nose, and Budweiser is liable for every accident caused by underage drinkers since it knows that teenagers will buy beer, drive drunk, and crash.

Smith & Wesson Brands v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos – Oral Arguments

Again, the liability for how a product is used, or abused, once it is out of the control of the manufacturer does not survive the common sense test.

The First Circuit gravely erred in embracing that implausible theory and should be reversed.

I welcome your questions.

Smith & Wesson Brands v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos – Oral Arguments

Before we get to questions, let’s hear from the other side of this case.

CATHERINE E. STETSON, ESQ. On behalf of the Respondent

Arguing for Mexico is Catherine Stetson.

1. STETSON: Mr. Chief Justice, and may it please the Court:

Mexico’s complaint pleads that Petitioners aided and abetted violations of specific federal gun laws and that those violations proximately caused Mexico’s harm. That satisfies PLCAA’s predicate exception.

Smith & Wesson Brands v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos – Oral Arguments

Mexico claims that Smith & Wesson aided and abetted violations of federal gun laws. During questioning the question of what gun laws will come up, but let’s continue with Ms. Stetson’s arguments.

First, the complaint details that Petitioners deliberately supplied the illegal Mexican market by selling guns through the small number of dealers that they know sell a large number of crime guns and who repeatedly sell in bulk to the cartel traffickers.

Petitioners’ arguments ignore these allegations.

Smith & Wesson Brands v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos – Oral Arguments

I believe the Petitioners ignored these arguments because they are factually incorrect. Smith & Wesson did not “deliberately” sell illegal guns into the Mexican market. Firearms manufacturers do not sell to gun dealers. They sell to distributors, who then sell firearms from multiple manufacturers to gun dealers.

Next, as the Court said in Twitter, an aider and abetter is liable for harms that were a foreseeable risk of that violation. That framing, foreseeable risk, is the proximate cause question. As this Court put it in Bank of America, does the harm alleged have a sufficiently close connection to the conduct the statute prohibits? The answer is yes. The laws broken here are designed to keep guns out of criminals’ hands. Those violations put guns in criminals’ hands and those criminals harmed Mexico.

Smith & Wesson Brands v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos – Oral Arguments

The laws may be been designed to keep guns out of the hands of criminals, but does the possibility that someone might do something illegal with your product, two or more transactions later, establish proximate cause? What is proximate cause?

A cause which immediately precedes and produces the effect, as distinguished from the remote, mediate, or predisposing cause.

Proximate Cause – The Free Legal Dictionary

If proximate cause is something that immediately precedes the crime, then that does not exist here.

Petitioners’ arguments would rewrite PLCAA and proximate cause law far beyond this case. Petitioners argue that independent criminal acts sever the causal chain. But an independent act, criminal or not, only breaks the causal chain if it is not foreseeable. These acts were foreseeable.

Smith & Wesson Brands v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos – Oral Arguments

For something to be foreseeable, one must know or imagine it’s probable. However, of the millions of firearms that Smith & Wesson produces, how probable is it that one would be sold illegally, then used for illegal purposes?

Petitioners argue that Mexico’s injury is not direct. But their directness argument borrows from cases involving indirect victims. Mexico is not an indirect victim.

We are here at the beginning of the beginning of this case. This Court need not vouch for Mexico’s allegations, but it must assume they are true. And the issue at this stage is not whether every aspect of Mexico’s complaint survives but whether any of it clears the predicate exception.

Mexico should be given a chance to prove its case.

I welcome the Court’s questions.

Smith & Wesson Brands v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos – Oral Arguments

Does Mexico’s argument clear the predicate exception, that Smith & Wesson knowing aided and abetted the violation of federal law? That’s what the court is going to decide in this case.

Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act

Since the issue in this case has to do with the exemption from the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), there were a lot of questions and theories about wether it might apply here.

But, even if you want to take a step back and look at what Congress was getting at more broadly, Congress’s entire purpose was to prohibit lawsuits just like this one. It was trying to prohibit lawsuits that had been brought by the City of Chicago, the City of Cincinnati, the City of Boston, on theories and seeking relief exactly like this one.

So, if you adopt my friend’s position on the other side, you have essentially gutted PLCAA. And remember what the larger purpose of PLCAA was. It was actually to ultimately protect Second Amendment rights by preventing plaintiffs from bankrupting the industry through frivolous lawsuits. After all, the Second Amendment doesn’t really mean anything if there’s no — nobody from whom you can buy a firearm.

Smith & Wesson Brands v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos – Oral Arguments

So PLCAA was created not simply to protect gun manufacturers, but the Second Amendment itself. Cities like Chicago, Cincinnati, and Boston appeared to think they could put gun manufacturers out of business by burying them in lawsuits. The fact that there was no correlation between the actions of the manufacturers and the crimes committed wasn’t the point. It was how these cities could get guns off their streets, regardless of the intent of the person owning the firearm.

In this case, the country of Mexico has a problem with cartels, who are acquiring firearms to cause violence and mayhem. To get rid of these firearms, Mexico came up with its own theory about how to sue the manufacturers.

It reflects this convoluted theory that — that simply because the gun is found in Mexico, can be traced back to a retailer, that means the retailer necessarily sold it illegally and that we know that the retailer sold it illegally.

Smith & Wesson Brands v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos – Oral Arguments

You know what they say about assumptions, right? Assuming that if a gun is found at a crime scene in Mexico, it must mean that it was sold illegally is quite a leap. But this case isn’t dependent on one such leap, but several.

In your brief, you summarized the chain that you’ve mentioned or alluded to a number of times.

1. FRANCISCO: Mm-hmm.

JUSTICE THOMAS: Would you just list the chain for our benefit?

1. FRANCISCO: Sure. It starts out with a licensed manufacturer, a manufacturer that the federal government says is allowed to make firearms. It then distributes its legal firearms to licensed distributors, distributors who the federal government says are allowed to distribute them.

They then sell to licensed retailers, retailers that the federal government says are allowed to retail. Those retailers, some very small percentage of them, an unknown number but some small percentage of them, transfer those firearms illegally to straw purchasers.

The straw purchaser then hands it over to the actual purchaser. You then have a smuggle across an international border, yet another violation of law. The smuggler then presumably gives it to the cartels who are illegally possessing the firearm in Mexico under Mexican law as my friends have described it.

Then the Mexican cartels engage in murder and mayhem against the good people of Mexico, all of which in turn causes the Mexican government to have to spend money to respond to that murder and mayhem.

With respect, there’s not a single case in history that comes close to that. They don’t even cite cases that find a manufacturer, I think, ever liable for the unlawful criminal misuse of its products, other than the cases that PLCAA was meant to prohibit and perhaps other than the Avis case, the Florida Supreme Court case.

But they certainly don’t cite anything that comes close to that chain of causation, which is more extreme than the cases that PLCAA was meant to prohibit.

Smith & Wesson Brands v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos – Oral Arguments

Mexico’s position seems to be several leaps too far, and certainly not the “knowing violation of state or federal law” that would trigger the PLCCA exemption.

Designing Crime Guns

The argument from Mexico isn’t that Smith & Wesson or the distributors were violating these laws, but that they were aiding and abetting, they were assisting those committing the crimes. One of the methods Mexico claims is aiding and abetting these crimes is the design of these weapons.

JUSTICE KAGAN: Because those —

1. FRANCISCO: — to Direct Sales. But —

JUSTICE KAGAN: — those allegations are in this complaint, right, that the manufacturers have basically designed and manufactured a set of weapons with a set of characteristics that are peculiarly useful for criminal activity?

1. FRANCISCO: Well, and that’s where I don’t think you would be getting anywhere close. If we simply make our firearms in a way that the general public likes and we allow whoever wants to buy our firearms buy our firearms and we know, as in Twitter, that some percentage of them are going to do something wrong, that’s not the type of affirmative action that gives rise to aiding-and-abetting liability.

Smith & Wesson Brands v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos – Oral Arguments

It appears Justice Kagan is assuming that only criminals want certain weapons. Ms. Stetson took this idea a step further.

1. STETSON: Mr. Chief Justice, I think it’s not so much that the defendants are designing a particular gun. It’s that what the complaint alleges is that they are designing certain guns to target the Mexican market, including the cartels.

So, if you take the example that you gave, this is paragraph 215, Colt produces three models of guns that it specifically targets to the Mexican market: the Super El Jefe, the Super El Grito, and the Emiliano Zapata 1911. These are coveted by the cartels. And you can see evidence of this at paragraphs 217, 218, 219, 220. And they are smuggled into Mexico in volume, which you can also find.

Smith & Wesson Brands v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos – Oral Arguments

So Mexico is alleging that because Colt gave some guns Spanish names, they were targeting the Mexican cartels? Mr. Francisco had something to say about that in his rebuttal.

My friend also talked about three pistols sold by Colt with Spanish-named firearms. The notion that selling a Spanish-named firearm is what gives rise to joint purpose with cartels under the aiding-and-abetting statute is as wrong as it is offensive. There are, after all, millions of perfectly law-abiding Spanish-speaking Americans in this country that find those firearms very attractive. And making those firearms available cannot possibly cross the line into aiding-and-abetting liability.

But, even if it could, the notion that selling three Spanish-named pistols is the proximate cause of cartel violence in Mexico is, frankly, absurd, and I don’t think it comes even close to establishing Twombly’s plausibility standard.

Smith & Wesson Brands v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos – Oral Arguments

I’m not sure if this is racist or just a desperate attorney trying to find anything that can support her case.

Justice Sotomayor went so far as to lie about aspects of these firearms.

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: Now can I go back to what’s troubling me? You have the manufacturers aiding and abetting, in your theory, by producing guns that are singularly attractive to the cartel because they are like, because they’re showy.

Smith & Wesson Brands v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos – Oral Arguments

I guess, in Justice Sotomayor’s mind, the only reason to have a good looking or “showy” gun is because you are a cartel member bent on mayhem. She took the idea of opening her mouth and showing she’s a fool on this topic a step further.

They’re making erasable serial numbers, which obviously are attractive to criminals because every criminal would like to erase the serial number if they can.

So that’s what you claim is aiding and abetting.

Smith & Wesson Brands v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos – Oral Arguments

Except serial numbers are not “erasable.” If that were true, then any manufacturer or importer could not get a license to do so. Because federal law requires…

(i) Licensed importers and licensed manufacturers shall identify by means of a serial number engraved or cast on the receiver or frame of the weapon, in such manner as the Attorney General shall by regulations prescribe, each firearm imported or manufactured by such importer or manufacturer.

18 USC §923

So if these are licensed manufacturers and distributors, how can they sell weapons with “erasable serial numbers” when they have to be engraved or cast into the receiver or frame?

Knowingly Selling to Criminals

The other allegation Mexico made to support their claim of aiding and abetting is that these distributers were knowingly selling guns to dealers who would sell them across the border.

1. STETSON: What it says the distributors are doing, including the — the one that’s named in this complaint, are knowingly supplying the dealers who we know sell unlawfully across the border.

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: But knowledge is not enough. We have repeatedly said mere knowledge is not enough. You have to aid and abet in some way.

1. STETSON: What the — what —

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: You have to — you have to intend and take affirmative action to encourage what they’re — not to encourage but to participate in what they’re doing.

1. STETSON: What this Court said in Rosemond is a person who actively participates in a criminal scheme, knowing its intent and character, intends that scheme’s commission. That’s the criminal aiding-and-abetting standard.

Smith & Wesson Brands v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos – Oral Arguments

But did any of these distributors or manufacturers actively participate in these crimes? Ms. Stetson alleges so.

1. STETSON: And — and let me — if I could, I want to be pretty specific about some of the allegations in the complaint, because what I heard this morning was that the allegations are vague and — and so forth.

I want to point you to a few particular allegations. Two of them are at paragraphs 122 and 146. And this has to do with trace data. Defendants are alleged to regularly receive — I’m sorry?

JUSTICE GORSUCH: One-twenty-two?

1. STETSON: Paragraphs 122 and 146 I’m starting with.

Regularly receive even more direct information about problem dealers. Trace requests from ATF and other agencies alert defendants that guns they sell to specific distributors and dealers are being recovered at crime scenes.

Smith & Wesson Brands v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos – Oral Arguments

What are these “trace requests”? When a firearm is found at a crime scene, law enforcement reaches out to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to get the background of that firearm. However, such a trace does nothing to determine if or where along the chain of ownership the weapon was illegally transferred.

Paragraph 146: Authorities have repeatedly identified and recovered defendants’ guns in connection with notorious gun trafficking rings.

Smith & Wesson Brands v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos – Oral Arguments

Authorities have also repeatedly identified cars, knives, and baseball bats at crime scenes. Besides, the guns recovered weren’t the defendants, they had been sold at least three times since the manufacturers owned them.

Paragraph 232: Defendants are aware that specific networks of distributors and dealers they were supplying were consistently channeling their guns.

Paragraph 233: Century Arms received communications from ATF. Those trace requests revealed that specific distributor and dealer networks were disproportionately associated with those guns.

Paragraph 234: All of the other defendants have access to the same information.

That is exactly the kind of specific allegation in the complaint at this stage that satisfies a motion to dismiss.

Smith & Wesson Brands v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos – Oral Arguments

I wonder what percentage of the weapons sold to those distributors and dealers ended up in the hands of cartel members? Whatever that number is, it apparently isn’t enough for ATF to suspend their license. Mr. Francisco made this point in his rebuttal.

Paragraph 228 — and this is a allegation that they repeat throughout — “each defendant’s policy is to sell its guns to any and all federal firearms licensees.” That is anyone that the federal government says that we can sell to.

So their allegation is that we’re treating all retailers exactly the same. We’re not treating any one better than any other. We’re treating them the same.

Smith & Wesson Brands v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos – Oral Arguments

How can a company be aiding and abetting when there is no evidence that they assisted, approved, or supported the illegal use of their products?

Conclusion

It seems to me that Mexico’s entire case revolves around the assumptions that every gun found in a Mexican crime scene was knowingly and intentionally built for that purpose. That is an irrational point of view, and the very reason Congress passed the Protection of the Lawful Commerce in Arms Act.

My final point is just to step back and talk about what PLCAA was really about. At the end of the day, PLCAA is about protecting Second Amendment rights. It’s not just about protecting the manufacturers, the distributors, and the retailers, but it’s protecting the right of every American to exercise their right of — under the Second Amendment to possess and bear firearms. That right is meaningless if there are no manufacturers, retailers, and distributors that provide them in the first place.

Smith & Wesson Brands v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos – Oral Arguments

Yes, we are still in the early stages of this case, but I wonder how much time, effort, and money has been spent by both the defendants and the federal government in pursuing such an obviously frivolous case? After all, if Mexico has evidence that there are people smuggling weapons illegally into their country, why aren’t they finding and charging them? If they have evidence that people are illegally purchasing weapons for others or that there are dealers knowingly selling to straw purchasers, why do they not turn it over to the ATF for investigation? I can only think of two reasons. First, manufacturers and distributors have more money than dealers and criminals. Second, it’s not about the cartels, but about keeping guns out of the hands of their citizens. That, ladies and gentlemen, is an internal problem and not one for United States courts.

The real goal should be reduced government spending, rather than balanced budgets achieved by ever rising tax rates to cover ever rising spending. —Thomas Sowell

Government spending is taxation. When you look at this, I’ve never heard of a poor person spending himself into prosperity; let alone I’ve never heard of a poor person taxing himself into prosperity.  —Arthur Laffer

I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.  —James Madison

We must have no carelessness in our dealings with public property or the expenditure of public money. Such a condition is characteristic either of an undeveloped people, or of a decadent civilization. America is neither. —Calvin Coolidge

The Deep State is not going away. It’s just being replaced. Replaced not by a charismatic autocrat or even a shadowy bureaucracy, but by artificial intelligence (AI)—unfeeling, unaccountable, and immortal. —John and Nisha Whitehead

The One Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) passed in the House and is now in the Senate.  Two House members voted against this bill, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, who consistently votes with the Constitution, and Warren Davidson of Ohio.  Andy Harris (R-MD) voted present and two other Republicans were absent.

The Senate will likely make changes to the bill before sending it back to the House at where more changes may be made and some may retract their votes.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) voted against the bill for many reasons.  In a short video interview with the New American Magazine, he explains the many drawbacks to this gigantic bill.  Over a period of 10 years, the BBB will add 20 to 30 trillion to the debt. It does not get rid of the Green New Deal.  Massie called for the ridiculous spending uncovered by DOGE to be permanently cut from the budget, but on May 7^th, Speaker Johnson cancelled the crucial vote to cut billions in funding to USAID, NPR and PBS.  I urge you to take the time to listen to Rep. Massie’s interview. He actually reads these bills.

Feds Ban State Regulation of AI for Ten Years

In a House Oversight Committee hearing, Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) expresses her dismay that the House bill would ban states and localities from regulating artificial intelligence for a decade, giving the federal government more control over the policy. It is an approach that has been favored by the AI industry but has drawn concern from members on both sides of the aisle. Should the Senate pass this bill, the states have the right to rebel.  Over time, AI will eliminate jobs and the federal government is telling the states, they have no right to intervene for their people! Watch her five-minute video.

Greene states that she voted for the BBB without knowing this piece was in it.  We know that there is never enough time for the reps to read these huge bills. Nearly every congress person has 18 full-time and four part-time staff members. The BBB could have been doled out to her staff to check for various additions like this one and to warn her.

This is the Deep State and institutionalized automation of tyranny.

Forty of The National Association of Attorneys General wrote a letter to Speaker Mike Johnson, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer demanding they remove the unprecedented federal power grab.  They oppose the amendment added by the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee to the budget reconciliation bill that imposes a 10-year prohibition on states from enforcing any state law or regulation addressing artificial intelligence (“AI”) and automated decision-making systems.

This federal AI restriction is unconstitutional.  Our Constitution lists the federal governments limited enumerated powers, most of which are found in Art. 1, Sec. 8 of the U.S. Constitution.  All other powers belong to the states.  Gay marriage, abortion, slander and libel belong only to the states.  Federal control of abortion was thankfully and constitutionally overturned.  Gay marriage and slander and libel should be as well.

Biden’s 30 X 30 Land Grab

The BBB includes a provision which will continue funding for various conservation programs, including the 30X30 initiatives.  Biden committed to conserving 30% of US lands and waters by 2030, according to the Land Trust Alliance.  According to The Nature Conservancy, this includes protecting both terrestrial and marine environments, inland waters and coastal areas.

The BBB Act includes provisions that continue funding for various conservation programs, including those related to 30×30 initiatives. This means that the Act aims to keep the existing conservation programs, such as the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP), running with continued funding authority. While the bill doesn’t necessarily introduce new 30×30 programs or expansions, it does ensure that the current conservation programs can continue supporting the goal of protecting 30% of lands and waters by 2030, according to the National Caucus of Environmental Legislators.

The 30X30 goals are part of biodiversity and climate change goals. Both are from the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), also known as the Earth Summit, all part of United Nations Agenda 21/30.

Representative Eli Crane (R-AZ) is trying to give Arizona land back to the people.  He is also against increased government spending and the lack of fiscal responsibility in the BBB.

While the House bill makes significant cuts to the green new deal agenda, including eliminating pro carbon sequestration pipeline language, the final bill failed to cut one of the key 30X30 programs authorized by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Through 2026, $10,050,000,000 remain authorized for conservation welfare programs that commit private lands to mitigating the climate crisis.

Environmentalists managed to authorize trillions of dollars for existing programs through the IRA by adding funds to the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP), the Agriculture Conservation Easement Program (ACEP) and the Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP). These programs are funded through the Farm Bill.  The IRA also changed the purpose for these funds now obligating private landowners who enrolled to mitigate climate change and reduce livestock emissions.

Most landowners had no idea the legal purpose for the funds had been changed, and the Biden USDA failed to inform landowners of this switch. This was deliberate so they could create a federal nexus to private lands obligating the use of these lands to mitigating the made-up climate crisis.  It is theft of private property…Marx would be thrilled.

• The federal government owns roughly 640 million acres of land in the United States.
• This represents approximately 28% to 30% of the total land area of the United States, which is estimated to be around 2.27 billion acres.

Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins has not commented on the 30X30 initiative in the BBB.

All of these usage regulations and land confiscation plans are based on the primary principle of Marxist philosophy that the private ownership of land must be forbidden.

Land can­not be treat­ed as an ordi­nary asset, con­trolled by indi­vid­u­als and sub­ject to the pres­sures and inef­fi­cien­cies of the mar­ket. Pri­vate land own­er­ship is also a prin­ci­pal instru­ment of accu­mu­la­tion and con­cen­tra­tion of wealth and there­fore con­tributes to social injus­tice; if unchecked, it may become a major obsta­cle in the plan­ning and imple­men­ta­tion of devel­op­ment schemes. The pro­vi­sion of decent dwellings and healthy con­di­tions for the peo­ple can only be achieved if land is used in the inter­ests of soci­ety as a whole. Pub­lic con­trol of land use is there­fore indis­pens­able.

Preamble to Agenda Item 10 of the 1976 United Nations Conference on Human Settlements (Vancouver, Canada)

Fifteen-minute-cities are springing up in cosmopolitan areas across the country.  The desired result is the caging of citizenry.

CO2 Pipeline Land Grabs

The Republican-controlled Congress has snuck a federal eminent domain land grab for CO2 pipelines into the BBB.

Last month, groups in the anti-carbon pipeline camp raised alarms about the reconciliation bill over a provision tucked within its 1,100 pages. It would have given the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission exclusive authority to issue licenses for pipelines carrying natural gas, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, oil or other energy products and byproducts.  (Unlike a continuing resolution, a reconciliation bill aimed at making changes to mandatory spending programs like entitlements and tax policy deals with longer-term legislative changes.)

This proposed law would establish a “federal permit” for interstate CO2, hydrogen, and oil pipelines. It would expressly overrule all state pipeline laws, such as routing laws, moratoriums, bans on eminent domain, and construction mitigation requirements, as well as county pipeline ordinances.

The proposed law would give the federal government authority to take your land via eminent domain on behalf of corporations. It would also provide “expedited review,” meaning that federal agencies would have just one year in which to approve needed federal permits. If a federal agency failed to approve a permit within this time period, the permit would be automatically approved “in perpetuity” without consideration of landowner or community concerns.  Again, this is not one of the enumerated powers of the federal government and belongs only to the states, i.e., it is unconstitutional…why is this even in the BBB and who proposed it?

Instead of public hearings by state and county agencies, pipeline permits would be approved by distant bureaucrats in Washington, DC.

This provision to let pipeline companies bypass state permitters is expected to be stripped from the BBB federal budget reconciliation bill, but anti-pipeline activists also want Congress to kill a carbon tax credit program before they pass the bill along to President Donald Trump.

That was the message from a group of South Dakota carbon dioxide pipeline opponents during a virtual press conference in May. Representatives from Dakota Rural Action, the South Dakota Property Rights and Local Control Alliance, and the South Dakota Stockgrowers Association joined the call.  Many 3^rd and 4^th generation South Dakota farmers and ranchers had experienced eminent domain land grabs for the CO2 pipeline from Iowa and into South Dakota. When they asked Governor Kristi Noem to help them, she told them she wouldn’t fight their battles.  She allegedly sold the easements to those pipelines to China.

CO2 pipelines will cover 3/4^th of America by 2050. Link

Secretary of Energy Chris Wright has voiced support for carbon capture technology as has President Trump.  (In February 2025, President Trump signed an executive order, “Declaring a National Energy Emergency,” which aimed to expedite permitting and investment in U.S.-led carbon capture, transport, and storage projects.)

Republicans Stripped “Terminating Terrorist Tax Exempt Status”

There was a portion in the BBB which stated that all terrorist organizations will lose tax exempt status.

Robert A. Bodisch Sr., Retired Deputy Director of the Texas Department of Public Safety for Texas Homeland Security and a Senior Fellow of the Center for Security Policy, wrote an article entitled, Congressional Cowardice exposing how House Republicans stripped Section 112209 from the BBB.

He writes, “Congress has given in to terror-supporting organizations by stripping Section 112209 from President Trump’s BBB, which would have amended the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to terminate the tax-exempt status of terrorist supporting organizations.”

(Section 112209 in the federal tax reconciliation bill, grants the Executive Branch unprecedented authority to revoke the tax-exempt status of nonprofits it labels as “terrorist supporting organizations”—without requiring due process, transparency, or public accountability.)

Bodish explains, “This action took place during the third weekend of May 2025. In a 17-16 vote, with four Republicans voting ‘present,’ the House Budget Committee advanced the revised version of the bill without the nonprofit clause.

“The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2007 Holyland Foundation Trial, the largest terror financing trial in U. S. history, along with other such organizations, are celebrating the removal of this provision from the bill passed by the House on a vote of 215-214.”

He ended his article with the following:

“Given the number of terror-supporting organizations currently enjoying 501(c)(3) status this change to the IRS code is sorely needed to address these concerns. No patriotic American would agree to a charitable non-profit accepting funding from a terror organization. If an organization is accepting terror funding and secreting that fact, there can be no doubt that their tax-exempt status should be terminated.

“As for those in congress who in the dead of night pulled this section of the mega bill and the four Republicans who voted “present,” shame on them and shame on the organizations who continue to distort the facts surrounding this bill.”

Daniel Greenfield’s recent article, IRS Lets Terror Fundraiser That Praised D.C. Attack Get Tax-Exempt Donations, exposes how terrorist groups gets tax-exempt status.

“How does a front for a terrorist group get tax-exempt donations anyway? Through a dubious practice known as fiscal sponsorship in which yet another front group accepts tax-exempt donations for it making it the front group for a front group for a terrorist organization.”

Greenfield explains, “One part of Treasury is sanctioning a terrorist front group while another is helping to fund it.”

Tax on Tips, Tax on Overtime

The “No Tax on Tips” and “No Tax on Overtime” proposals, included in the House Republican tax bill, would allow employees to deduct qualified tips and overtime pay from federal taxable income for the years 2025-2028. Of course, all other taxes like Social Security and Medicare would still apply, albeit it seems we are taxed twice on SS.  This deduction reduces the taxable income for those years, limited to traditional and customarily tipped professions.  When people are allowed to keep more of their hard-earned income, they spend more and the economy benefits.

Conclusion

The BBB is supposed to be about delivering President Trump’s campaign promises on taxes, America First energy, and sweeping border security. We need to make his tax cuts permanent.  It has been proven time and again, when taxes are lowered, more funds come into the treasury as businesses, hiring and incomes grow.  Trump’s tax cuts, border security and energy are at the top of the lists for the majority of Americans.  The BBB should include those things alone and other issues should be single bills.

Unfortunately, this bill has been hijacked with horrific destructions of states’ rights for the AI industry and a Marxist land grab for the fraudulent climate change insanity of collecting CO2.

House Representatives MTG, Thomas Massie, Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Eli Crane and Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) are exposing the egregious portions within the BBB.  Where are the rest of our congressional representatives?

Democrat Rep. Says Quiet Part Out Loud: “If We Don’t Have Avenues for (Foreigners) to Come Here…We’re Not Gonna Have Anybody Around to Wipe Our A**e

Ah, yes. Welcome to America you poor downtrodden (illegal) migrants! You are here to wipe the business end of “the movement”, a name the Left has begun to use for their crumbling Democrat Party. In truth, you were brought here to destroy our country, but, later on that. This one is mostly for fun.

As reported by WCAX in VT, Rep. Rebecca Balint hosted a townhall and let the stinking truth fly: “If we don’t have avenues for foreigners to come (to the US), we are not going to have anybody around to wipe our A**e*.

The VT Rep was whining for mass amnesty, and as all good Dems do of late, got to the screeching stage fast.

When I read this, I knew I needed to let you know, if only for comic relief. While we live in gut-grabbing fear that Lindsay Graham might have started WWIII, we really need a grin. Maybe Sen Graham was celebrating Pride week in his own special way. The first gay to start a World War? He SO belongs with the Left.

Lately I had been reading, in various news sites, that the strugglng Left has been referring to itself as “the movement”, so I opened a new Substack, to write about it. I was planning to poke some fun at the terminology, along these lines, but what a gift I was handed… I couldn’t resist. The Honorable Representative from VT made my day.

Of course Ms. Balint has been hit with a bidet stream of anger from others in the Party for her statement. The link above may be gone by the time you try to find it. But, let’s face it, her frustration was boiling over, a condition very common to those who still admit to being a “D”, and the poor pathetic woman let honesty take over.

Is this Potty Politics??

Yes. Yes, it is, and it is a fabulous expression of the desperation on the Left. They know that a majority of the country wants freedom from the 16 stinking OBiden years (2008 – 2024) and they have zero idea how to deodorize the last four of their Presidential terms.

Some are raising the pathetic flag of Pride Month. Literally.

On June 2, Missoula, Montana City Council just voted to make the rainbow banner. the city’s official flag. Yes, Montana, which allows the flying of historic banners on public buildings. The folks of Missoula felt that the rainbow stripes deserved a spot right up there with the Gadsden flag and the STARS AND STRIPES.

This is the same city as was the setting for “A River Runs Through It”. Interesting tie in; the message in 1992 was unconditional love. Guess we should all try it, but we can still have fun with their frustrations. That love, though must go both ways…

I think that the desperation of the sole US Rep from VT tells us the story of the demise of the anti-American party. Without their illegal immigrants, which they had to PAY, with OUR money, to come here, they have no working base. No one to do their bidding, believe their mandates, follow their tenets, clean their houses, …

Wipe their butts. And THAT, folks is NOT love.

I’m not even going to provide you an image here…your imagination will give you all you need.

Lol, and Blessings,

If you are like me, you get emails from outfits like “National Debt Relief,” promising help to pay down those credit card bills. If you watch many of the “conservative” opinion programs, you are constantly told that you must buy gold to avoid a national economic disaster. In fact, we need “National Debt Relief” on a national scale, to avoid the need to buy gold in the first place. Gold has become an option because the nation is going bankrupt with the increasingly worthless dollar but the real option is a new currency known as crypto, which can be nurtured under the Trump Administration without the federal government or the Federal Reserve taking control through a national digital currency.

It would be a shame if “America First” under President Trump becomes the slogan for our first bankruptcy as a nation.

Do not worry, we are told. All we must do is extend the debt ceiling, to the tune of $5 trillion under the “Big Beautiful” bill. This is something we cannot do as individuals, unless we want to go deeper into debt, and then you may be denied extra credit. But the federal government creates its own money, causing inflation, higher interest rates, and higher taxes.

The Deep State cannot be defeated if the federal government continues to grow in power and influence over our lives. This is a critical moment in the fiscal health of our nation and President Trump is moving in the wrong direction.

Tragically, Elon Musk was right. The “Big Beautiful” bill is an “abomination” that will cause the nation’s nearly $37 trillion in national debt to go higher. Republicans promise that economic growth, in the final analysis, will generate more tax revenue and reduce the deficit and debt. Call me a skeptic. We have heard this before.

Consider President Trump’s budget and the item on national defense spending. During a speech in Qatar, a terrorism-supporting regime where an American military base is located, he announced that the new military budget for the United States will be an “unprecedented $1 trillion” and “it’s going to end up going higher, investment in the U.S. Armed Forces. And that’s a record.”

As noted by Kristyn Jones, a senior adviser with the Aerospace Security Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C., the Department of Defense (DOD) is the only federal agency that has never passed a financial statement audit. This is a known fact.

Non-profit organizations pay Certified Public Accountants thousands of dollars a year to pass an audit acceptable to the federal government so they maintain their tax-exempt status.  But the Pentagon escapes accountability and gets more money.

In response to the waste, fraud, and abuse in the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says he will strive to get the Department of Defense to pass a clean audit within four years!

Meanwhile, a military parade is slated for Saturday, June 14, in the heart of Washington, D.C., coinciding with Trump’s birthday and the flyovers are expected to disrupt commercial passenger flights. It will cost between $25-40 million.

This is a huge waste of taxpayer dollars. It involves at least 6,600 soldiers, at least 150 vehicles, and 50 helicopters.

Why don’t we deploy them to the southern border? Or to Los Angeles and other cities to handle the riots? A parade is a big fat waste.

In the same way, the $140 billion being proposed for border security in the “Big Beautiful” bill can be reduced. What is more, according to Trump, we are already stopping illegal immigration through his executive orders and actions. So why is spending $46.5 billion in new Border Wall project construction necessary? Even if it is constructed, a new Democrat Administration could dismantle it.

Senator Rand Paul has done the math, noting that the actual cost of constructing an additional 1000 miles of border wall is only $6.5 billion. So where is the rest of the money going?

Passage of the “Big Beautiful” bill is not assured in any case. It is reported that 13 House Republicans are urging Senate leaders in a letter to retain several expensive “clean energy tax credit provisions” that were passed into law under the terms of Joe Biden’s green new scam.  Another factor is the fate of SALT, which allows massive tax deductions in blue or Democrat high-tax states and is being pushed by Republicans in those states.

Still another big factor in the rise in federal spending is Obamacare, which expanded Medicaid through improper enrollments into a full-known socialist health care scheme that even covers illegal aliens.  But so-called “conservative” Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri opposes any Medicaid cuts, insisting the socialized health care coverage benefits MAGA voters.

You may recall that the Republicans failed to repeal Obamacare, also known as the Affordable Care Act, when they controlled the House and Senate in the first Trump term. Obamacare’s unconstitutional provisions were later upheld by “Republican” Chief Justice Roberts and the four liberal members of the Supreme Court in a major ruling.

As noted by the libertarian Cato Institute, “Chief Justice John Roberts changed the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate into a tax and thus rescued President Obama’s signature legislation.”

At the same time, speaking of fiscal insanity, Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard is requesting $81.9 billion for the Fiscal Year 2026 National Intelligence Program (NIP).

The U.S. Intelligence Community is composed of 18 organizations. None has been eliminated under Trump. So the Deep State is fully funded.

Republican Senator Ron Johnson had proposed two bills, one stopping the tax increases, and another dealing with spending. That was the correct course.

Under these circumstances, if the “Big Beautiful” bill passes and we are facing the prospect of national bankruptcy, the only hope is a new monetary system that features digital assets for ordinary people. Some people fear this new system his will be taken over by government and that crypto investments will be debased in the same way the dollar has lost its value. But that does not have to happen.

There are two paths forward. Joe Biden and the Democrats favored a centrally controlled digital currency through the Federal Reserve as his Securities and Exchange Commission engineered a crackdown on the private crypto sector. That has changed under the Trump Administration. The key is authorizing decentralized cryptocurrencies, over which the federal government has no control.

It should be obvious by now that the federal government has too much control over our money, and that our money is quickly losing its value. We need a new beginning, a new revolution, the kind waged by our Founding Fathers. That means a new form of money.

June has been labelled “Pride Month”, to call international attention to a mental disease, gender dysphoria and its millions of supporting players. Just think of the Dark Money behind THIS effort!

Other illnesses are highlighted throughout the year: Heart Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Glaucoma, Thyroid Diseases, and on down the line. Most of these are to gather dark money for the AMA and drug companies, and, frankly serve to remind people that they these are diseases out there to worry about, to run to doctors to be tested for… Sorry, that’s just me; I know that millions suffer from mostly preventable diseases, and really DO have problems. I only wish doctors were in the business of healing them. Mostly, as we know, they are not.

But Gender Dysphoria Month is different.

It is an invention of the Globalists to draw attention – and, of course, money! – to a condition they have mostly created. Drugging and mutilating children and young adults is NOTHING for which to be proud. The list of major medical centers – government FUNDED medical centers – that are still mutilating children is long, and includes such renown places as Cincinnati Children’s Hospital (where I was born), Duke University, Cedars Sinai, Boston University, Brown, the Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins, Stanford, the University of Florida, et. al. See the list on the link.

They must be so proud.

There have always been men and women (yes, the only two sexes there are) who have an affinity for others of the same sex. Sometimes they lived together, in marriage or not, and kept their preferences pretty much to themselves.

I have had several good friends who are “gay”. We worked together, ate together, played music and sang together, all just like anybody else. They never felt the need to wave banners and wear grossly ridiculous costumes, or flaunt their preference in front of innocent children. They are as disgusted by this insanity as anyone else.

Since the world is being rushed down the path of destruction, however, gender dysphoria has taken a far more public face, an ACTUAL ROLE IN DESTROYING OUR SOCIETY. It has become another tool with which to crumble our moral bedrock.

Fifty years ago, it was estimated that there might have been between 1 – 3% of the world’s people who were “gay.” The painted Left of today swears there was persecution and hatred, then, from gender-normal folks, so they all kept hidden. Perhaps there was; I never saw it. I do know this, though: Today’s persecution and hatred from the Left towards anyone who dare save a baby’s life far outdoes anything “suffered” then.

Freedom is a wonderful thing. My grandpa always said, “ ‘Free’ means that you can take a swing anywhere you want, as long as you don’t hit someone else while you’re doing it.” Simple.

Your freedom ends at my nose. Or, at something which harms others. Gender dysphoric people can, if they really must, wave banners and look really stupid in public, with plastic balloons underneath tight sweaters. But they may NOT force their condition on others, most especially the young and innocent who are still not sure about their body beneath clothing.

I hereby submit that what we should celebrate is PRIDE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT. Pride of having reached a milestone after real effort. Pride in a family member who has done good things. The world is chock full of things for which we can and should be proud. Pathetic folks dancing down the street with plastic breasts stuffed under tight sweaters, sporting garishly painted faces, is not one.

Let’s celebrate PRIDE when and where we find things for which we are proud. This season of graduations is certainly one. I hereby rename June as the Month of Achievement. Remember to tell someone who deserves an accolade, just how proud you are of them.

THAT IS REAL PRIDE! And worth celebrating.

After the George Floyd hustle and criminal riots by the Fascist group known as ANTIFA and the money-grubbing BLM (Black Lies Matter) the movement to protect ILLEGAL ALIENS – not immigrants, not migrants cranked up.  Protecting these criminals who smuggled themselves across our border had already been underway for years after Ronnie Reagan opened the flood gates.

In violation of federal immigration laws, even the FDIC was busy ignoring the law:  Should Officials of the FDIC Be Prosecuted? (Mine), April 19, 2005 – “The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is encouraging banks to sign up illegal aliens in the banking system, calling the growth of the market “a compelling incentive for U.S. banks to enter this largely untapped market.” And the FDIC program demonstrates that unbanked Latin American immigrants can be brought into the financial mainstream.

“But there are clear laws on the books for the integrity of the immigration system. United States criminal code, “It is a crime punishable by 10 years in jail for aiding and abetting someone in this country illegally for commercial gain.” And the Bank Secrecy Act of 1972 makes it clear banks must know their customer, and any illegal activity must be reported to the government.”

“The FDIC, this “independent” government operation is knowingly and willfully encouraging their organization and its employees to break the law and they are openly and blatantly violating federal immigration law.”  Jr. Bush was president at the time; John Ashcroft was the U.S. Attorney and they did NOTHING to stop it and neither did CON-gress.

When Illegals Go Berserk, Will Your State be Prepared?, (Mine) March 27, 2006

“We have an aging white America … They are dying …We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him.” Jose Angel Gutierrez, professor, University of Texas, Arlington and founder of the La Raza Unida political party

In my March 13, 2006, column I wrote about the 100,000 criminals (illegal aliens, not immigrants) who brazenly marched through the streets of Chicago without fear of being rounded up and deported. On March 17, 2006, an estimated 25,000 illegals from Ireland marched boldly in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in NY without fear of any enforcement of our immigration laws. I told my friends at the time: this unchecked in-your-face, “we demand respect” display by illegals will embolden them to demand they be given a free pass and when that doesn’t happen, it will reach the point of violence.

On March 24, 2006, hundreds of high school students in LA walked out of their classrooms to protest the newest piece of completely unnecessary immigration legislation by the incompetent fools in Congress. Within hours 15,000 criminals (illegals) were marching in Phoenix and roughly 10,000 in Georgia. On March 25, 2006, waving their Mexican flags chanting the same worn out “racist” garbage and demanding their “rights” 50,000 of these criminals marched in Denver, thousands in North Carolina and here in Sacramento. All because the House of Representatives has passed legislation that would make it a felony to be in the U.S. illegally, impose new penalties on employers who hire illegal immigrants and erect fences along one-third of the U.S.-Mexican border. The counterfeit Senate is to begin their bickering on March 28, 2006. Here’s two short e-mails I recently received from some illegal who no doubt chants racism because we the people demand our immigration laws be enforced:

From: D******@aol.com. Date: 3/16/2006 7:06:47 PM

Message: “Hey you ignorants. Why dont you report YOURSELFS .lol. You white people are the real illegals! When did you have a passport to come into my ancestors land?! Get a life and REABUILD YOUR MAYFLOWER so you can go back the cockasian hills were you ALL belong!” This illiterate wasn’t happy sending just that one, a few minutes later, he sent another: “F**K U GRINGOS VIVA MEXICO!!!!!”

Another uneducated thug bellowing ignorance.  No passport needed Bozo.  YOUR government sold California to the U.S. government under The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo signed Feb. 2, 1848.

Since Trump was sworn into office, the massive invasion of ILLEGAL aliens has pretty much stopped at the border (yes, there is still human smuggling going on but on a much smaller scale).  President Trump was dead serious about stopping it and getting the freeloaders, criminals and terrorists rounded up and deported. Because this mass round-up and deportation has been so successful, the cockroaches are now rioting just like Fascist ANTIFA. Just as I predicted.

It’s most unfortunate our governor, Greg Abbott (I voted against him in the last primary), didn’t do what should have been done five minutes after career criminal, liar and cheat, Joe Biden, was unlawfully sworn into office made possible by cheating:  Call up the Texas State Militia:

GOVERNMENT CODE  – TITLE 4. EXECUTIVE BRANCH –  SUBTITLE C. STATE MILITARY FORCES AND VETERANS

CHAPTER 431. STATE MILITIA – SUBCHAPTER A. GENERAL PROVISIONS – SUBCHAPTER H. CALLING OF FORCES

Sec. 431.111.  CALLING OF FORCES BY GOVERNOR.

Sec. 431.112.  CALLING OF FORCES BY OTHER OFFICIAL.  (Rest at link)

There are many, many militia groups in the U.S. who are not white supremacists or any of that manure.  These are patriotic Americans who train so they can help friends and neighbors in times of natural disasters like earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes.  Assist with overwhelmed first responders.  And, in defense of their state if necessary.

However, they have no legal authority nor do they represent the true meaning of the Second Amendment:  A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

Over the decades many well-meaning Americans, men and women, have been down at the border trying to assist Border Patrol. However, at least one situation I know about, the patriot almost got himself shot by Border Patrol.  Those Americans have no legal authority to act as militia.  It’s a real shame tens and tens of millions of gun owners in this country have no understanding of the Second Amendment.  I was one of them until 2005.  Dr. Edwin Vieira’s columns are a treasure trove on this issue.  His archives go back to 2005 [1] trying to get gun owners and lawmakers to understand the true meaning Second Amendment. Too bad most are still not listening.

Greg Abbott talks a good game but he refused to do the one thing that would have stopped millions of illegals flooding the border since Jan. 2021:  Do not let illegals put one foot on U.S. soil.  Yes, this would require thousands of Texans give some time on a rotating basis to do THEIR DUTY as part of the Texas State Militia for their safety, their families and our state.

Over this past weekend, the vermin were out in full force attacking law enforcement and even attempting to breach a federal building while elected political whores vomited up their support of ILLEGALS.

Trump moves fast to save LA from a 1992 repeat – California governor calls deployment ‘purposefully inflammatory’ while federal officers face deadly attacks from protesters, June 8, 2025 – “Los Angeles is rioting again. Mobs, amped up by professional agitators and implicit support from Democratic elected officials, have attacked federal law enforcement officers with deadly intent. This violence, which includes hurling rocks, torching cars, launching fireworks, and assaulting federal law enforcement officers, aims to prevent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) from carrying out lawful deportation efforts…

“In response, federal and some local law enforcement deployed tear gas and flash bangs to disperse the crowd in the LA suburb of Paramount. But with law enforcement lives clearly threatened and the local law enforcement response less than robust, President Donald Trump ordered up 2,000 members of the National Guard to restore order. Additional active-duty troops are said to be on standby.

“Predictably, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass clutch their pearls, whining about “cruel” immigration enforcement while the city spirals into anarchy.”

Federal officials slam Democrats for ‘dangerous’ rhetoric as ICE agents face violent mobs in LA, NYC – LAPD took 2 hours to respond while over 1,000 rioters surrounded federal building: DHS (Video embedded of the great Tom Homan who doesn’t put up with their sh*t whether a governor, mayor or the mobs.)  Give him a medal:  WATCH: Border Czar Tom Homan Warns California Officials They Will Be Arrested and Prosecuted if They Interfere with ICE Operations, June  8, 2025

“Federal officials are urging Democrat politicians to tone down “dangerous” rhetoric about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, after violent protests and disorderly demonstrations broke out over the weekend in Los Angeles and New York City.

“Multiple people were detained by immigration agents on Friday as seven locations in Los Angeles were raided. In response, violent protests broke out across the county, including an attempted break into the Roybal Federal Building.”  Rest at link.  Photos are so reminiscent of what happened in the toilet called Seattle and other cities over the George Floyd hustle.

BREAKING: Stephen Miller RESPONDS to Mayor of Los Angeles after ICE raid, June 6, 2025

“The horrible mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass[2], who abandoned her city right before the devastating fires earlier this year, was very upset about the ICE raids that took place in her city today and vowed to do something about it.

“Absolutely despicable. She cares more for ‘immigrant rights’ than she does the safety of her own people. After the deadly fires she oversaw, Bass shouldn’t ever work in public office again.

“Stephen Miller responded to Bass like a Boss, saying “You have no say in this at all. Federal law is supreme and federal law will be enforced.”

Dem Rep’s vulgar demand to ICE officers leads to calls to expel her from Congress – ‘Lunatic’ Democrat ripped for ‘demonic’ video message demanding ICE agents ‘get the f— out’ amid CA chaos, June 8, 2025. U.S. Rep. born in Guatemala who has zero respect for our laws. I wonder how many of her friends and/or relatives are here illegally?

The photos in the articles make me sick. These NGO big $hots need to be indicted, tried and convicted if evidence shows they aided and abetted illegals. Freeloaders, law breakers, murderers, rapists, crooks, child abusers who have no right to be on U.S. soil:

Evidence Suggests LA “Riots” Over ICE Raids Could Be Government‑Funded, June 8, 2025 // This one contains the names and photos of some of the scum apprehended so they don’t kill you or your family or rape your daughter or grand-daughter:  ‘I Smell CIA/Deep State All Over This’ — RFK Jr. VP Nicole Shanahan Blasts Sanctuary Cities, Says Violent Migrants Are Being Used to Attack Federal Law Enforcement, June  8, 2025:

“What began as a lawful operation turned into outright insurrection in the so‑called sanctuary city of Los Angeles. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents conducted multiple strikes Friday — targeting a Home Depot, fashion warehouses, clothing outlets in downtown L.A., and a meat‑packing plant in Paramount — arresting deportable illegal aliens, including some with criminal records.

“The result? Large crowds descended, blocking lanes, hurling bricks and chunks of concrete, setting trash fires, smearing graffiti on federal buildings, and assaulting federal vehicles.”  Throw their asses in detention and get them out of the U.S. now. // Democrat Rep. Dave Min shamelessly echoed the LAPD’s statement and lashed out at Trump for deploying the National Guard, June 8, 2025

“As the LAPD is reporting, the protestors in LA are being peaceful. This is not a rebellion or an invasion. There is no legal basis, including under 10 U.S. Code § 12406, for Trump to take over California’s National Guard. Trump is trying to cross the Rubicon and take this country into tyranny.”  Really, you junkyard dog?  Do all those pictures taken in real time show “mostly peaceful” protesters?  Anti-ICE Rioters Launch Explosives at Federal Building in Downtown Los Angeles (VIDEO), June 7, 2025

Pam Bondi Puts Judges and Members of Congress on Notice Amid Violent Anti-ICE Protests in Los Angeles, June 7, 2025: “It doesn’t matter if you’re a judge, a member of Congress, or a protestor in Los Angeles: If you obstruct or assault a law enforcement officer, this Department of Justice will prosecute you,” Pam Bondi said.”

For the millionth time (Mine): “A Bill: Stop all Public Welfare in Any Form for Illegal Aliens, Mine August 24, 2014. I was referring to a bill introduced by career crook (now deceased) Dirty Harry Reid [D-NV) that would stop all welfare at any level for illegal aliens – city, county, state, federal.  Go read his press release at the top of the article where he hammers against illegal aliens:

“Safeguards like welfare and free medical care are in place to boost Americans in need of short-term assistance. These programs were not meant to entice freeloaders and scam artists from around the world. Even worse, Americans have seen heinous crimes committed by individuals who are here illegally.”

“His statements were to announce a bill he introduced back then titled the Immigration Stabilization Act [S.1351]. I’m betting it was not written by Dirty Harry, but by lawyers who know what they’re doing and the sure to come legal challenges. It covers the whole gambit of turning off the trillions spent over the past 28 years since Reagan sold us out. There were 3 cosponsors for the bill. Then Dirty Harry did a 180 and became a champion of illegals.

“I sent page one of the bill with a letter to more than a dozen GOP senators and dozens of GOP House reps over the years who claim during boob tube interviews how we have to close the border! The last one was to Rep. Chip Roy [R-TX]. After Trump was elected in 2016, I sent it to him twice and twice to Stephen Miller at the WH. I’ve never received ONE SINGLE RESPONSE FROM ANY OF THEM. Trump I understand as he has staff who open the mail.” I doubt Trump ever saw my letter as I’m a nobody, don’t play for a winning sports team or own a high-tech company.  (There is an Appendix with my column above to make a few changes, see here.)

CON-gress is GOP controlled. They could get that bill passed or a shorter version in less than a week; I have no doubt Trump would sign it into law and then come the lawsuits.  BUT, despite these partisan, rotten judges, I believe the bill will stay law.  I also believe illegals would see the handwriting on the wall and start self-deporting but it won’t get done unless millions of Americans burn up the phone lines to their congress critter and demand they shut off the gravy train.

I don’t know what’s going to happen by the time this column gets posted but if the National Guard and other law enforcement don’t play big boy, the rioting will continue and it won’t be pretty.

17 illegal migrants discovered crammed in RV, sedan in sweltering Arizona heat – A US citizen was arrested and charged with human smuggling, June 7, 2025

By Frosty Wooldridge

June 9, 2025

One look at New York City’s illegal alien invasion might not create any reaction—other than illegals rioting in the streets over the weekend. But if you look at Boulder, Colorado’s illegal alien invasion, Jewish people might find themselves terrified at the prospects of more Muslim illegal aliens lying in wait to set them on fire. Or, what about that Muslim who machine-gunned 13 people at Boulder’s King Sooper’s three years ago? All died. Or, how about one look at the plethora of Mexican flags now flying in the streets of Los Angeles—you might get the idea that our country buckles under an invasion of illegal aliens.

Millions of them now enjoy entrenchment into our society to such a degree that they feel entitled to riot, block traffic, kill and burn our cities to the ground.

Can you imagine what’s it’s going to be like when we start seeing Islam’s black flag flying all over our streets across America? Heck, if you travel to Detroit, Michigan, that’s what you will witness—black Islamic flags. How do I know? I traveled to Detroit to see them, personally. Does the chant, “Death to America” coming from Detroit ring in your ears?

Today, in 2025, our past four presidents and Congress have allowed in excess of 25,000,000 (million) illegal aliens to take up residence in the United States.

Before Biden, the mainstream media reported 12 million illegal aliens within America. After four years of Biden/and his handlers, we understand from the Border Patrol that 12 million more entered from over 150 countries. That’s 24 million illegals. Another 2 to 3 million illegal aliens, known as “gotaways”, avoided capture as they slipped into our country. That’s 26 to 27 million. Then, you have to figure another 10 to 20 million of their babies. That’s at least 36 to 50 million people who don’t belong in our country.

What are the consequences? The costs scream off the charts. The hidden costs boggle a rational person’s mind. The long-term costs will upend our society in ways that will remind you of every country that’s fallen into the dustbin of history.

As to the financial costs, we’re talking into the billions, if not trillions of dollars. If anyone thinks we will still be financially viable with a $36 trillion national debt that will soon be $40 trillion, you’ve got another thought coming. We’re in DEEP doo-doo.

Have you heard of cash-transfers by legal and illegal refugees? “In 2024, immigrants in the US sent over $81 billion in remittances back to their home countries, according to the World Bank. Another source indicates the figure was $79.15 billion.”

That’s your money flying out of your country. At the same time, you paid for millions of illegal kids’ educations K-12.

Every year, you also pay for 400,000 “anchor babies”, their births, their care, their food, their housing, their schooling, their ESL courses—-to the tune of trillions of dollars over the past 50 years.

You paid for billions in shoplifting because you make up for it with your purchases: “In the US, retailers lose over $13 billion annually to shoplifting. This equates to more than $35 million per day.” Entire foreign gangs engage in shoplifting. Our Congress imports entire criminal enterprises in those millions of illegal aliens.

How many cars are stolen annually? “In 2023, over one million cars were stolen in the United States. Specifically, 1,020,729 vehicles were reported stolen, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB).”

What about our citizenship? How has it been betrayed by 1.4 million illegals leeching off Medicaid as reported last week by OMB? That’s a lot of cash and services going out to people who did not earn it and are in violation of our laws.

Remember this statement: “Corruption is a mechanism by which third world countries operate.” When you import millions of people from the third world, you too, become a third world country because of their sheer numbers. When they lack ethics, morality, honesty and integrity—-stealing and ripping off the system is cultural.

How many illegal aliens are in U.S. prisons? “In 2023, an estimated 67,813 illegal immigrants were incarcerated in the United States.”

What did those 67,813 illegal aliens do to reach prison? They raped, killed, tortured, burglarized, shoplifted, and worse—-American citizens. What comes to mind? Well, that 22 year old University of Georgia co-ed Laken Riley would be alive today if not for Biden’s open borders or New York City’s Sanctuary status. Hundreds and thousands of Americans would not have suffered rape, robbery or death at the hands of those illegals.

What about all the jobs illegals steal from Americans or lower our wages? Oh, you hear that illegals pick the crops. Only 1 percent of illegals pick crops. They are better at picking your pocket. Oh, they do the jobs that Americans won’t do. False, every job in every town where there are no illegal aliens—-gets worked and completed by the American citizens of that town. The free market always ups the wages to cover the job.

What about the riots playing out in Los Angeles right now, with all those Mexican flags flying in her riot-torn streets? We’re talking Mexican conquest of Los Angeles. Over 4,000,000 illegals inhabit California and LA to the point that the schools must teach in Spanish to detriment of taxpayers and our own students. California’s schools have been downgraded to slum-level academics. In other words, illiteracy wins and education loses. LA’s American kids suffer.

At the same time, U.S. House Rep Maxine Waters (D-CA) and House Rep Norma Torres (D-CA) incited more rioting. Both should be thrown out of Congress for betraying their oath of office to the U.S. Constitution. Both are anti-America and anti-laws of America.

What you’re seeing is a loss of the rule of law in America. Decent and loyal American citizens don’t throw rocks at our DHS, FBI and Border Patrol officers. Law-abiding Americans support our immigration laws and the men/women who enforce them.

Without our laws, and without solid borders, America simply becomes a “destination” for criminals from all over the world. Notice how MS-13 gangs have killed off 270,000 of our kids with drug overdoses in the past four years under Biden. Or, we become a swirling mega-boiling pot of incompatible, illiterate and dangerous religions, world-views and ethnic conflict.

We didn’t stop the Black Lives Matter riots. Result: deaths of police officers, billions of dollars burned up, and total loss of the rule of law. If we don’t stop the riots in Los Angeles, it only emboldens all those street rioters to do even more damage to our country.

It means a total breakdown in American society. It means incompetent mayors like LA’s Karen Bass or California’s Governor Newsom cannot be trusted with administering our laws. Same with that buffoon Governor Walz in Minnesota. Same with that useless Chicago Mayor Johnson or Denver’s Mayor Johnston. Useless, all of them!

You must ask yourself: do you want a Mayor Bass or Newsom or Walz or Johnson to run your town? Do you want lawlessness to take over? Do you want another 25 million more illegal aliens? Do you want their gangs in your neighborhood? Do you want them killing or raping your daughter? How do you think the parents of Laken Riley or Kate Steinle or Jocelyn Nungaray feel? How do those parents of those 270,000 drug deaths feel?

Finally, do you want the fabric of American society to dissolve under this immigration invasion?

It was sad to see President Trump bow to the will of liberal judges and bring back a terrorist gang member from El Salvador so he can “enjoy” the benefits of the American justice system and become a cause célèbre for the communist left.

Who knows how many thousands of dollars will now be spent to try to keep him in prison. Meanwhile, liberals are laughing their heads off, as they revel in the glee flowing from the liberal court takeover of the Trump Administration.

No matter how much spin Laura Ingraham and other “conservatives” put on the case, this was a devastating defeat for the American people and their hope that in November 2024 they voted for a president who would keep them free from criminals and terrorists. Instead of fighting the courts and asserting his presidential power, Trump’s legal advisers, from Attorney general Pam Bondi on down, decided to salute the unelected judges who ordered the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

I almost threw up watching Ingraham’s show on Friday night, where she gave Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche several minutes of free air time to insist that somehow the Trump Administration did not capitulate to the liberal Judicial dictatorship in bringing Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to America to stand trial on various criminal charges.

Even worse, Ingraham brought on the tough-talking milquetoast legal “expert” Mike Davis to defend the administration and attack the Democrats. In this case, the Democrats won – and they won big. They succeeded and Trump’s legal team lost. This is because they suffer from an alien ideology and a fringe legal theory that American courts have veto power over what the executive branch does in foreign policy.

In times like this, it is important for MAGA and Trump supporters in general to understand how their elected president, elected by more than 70 million people, fell victim to the unelected judges who claim to rule America. We all wanted to support President Trump’s deportation policy and get these criminals out of our midst. But we are now going to foot the bill for their lengthy trials where they most likely will be set free due to high-priced legal talent paid for by George Soros, or perhaps American taxpayers.

At a time of intense debate over Trump’s expensive “Big Beautiful” bill and its border security provisions, which we were told would facilitate the ouster of these criminals and terrorists, we now learn that every criminal and terrorist will now get his “day” in court, a process that could cost millions of dollars and perpetuate the bankruptcy of the nation. This is the cost of what the Trump Administration will have to do, now that it has complied with the court orders in these deportation cases.

What I am talking about, as you may have heard, is that the lightweight Attorney General Bondi announced charges against Abrego Garcia on Friday, to justify compliance with court orders that brought him back from that El Salvador prison. It was total capitulation by the Trump Administration. She announced the charges in a vain attempt to justify capitulation to the courts. The charges are Alien Smuggling and Conspiracy to Commit Alien Smuggling in violation of Title 8, U.S. Code 1324.

Whether he remains in prison pending trial or not, this was a major setback in the Trump Administration’s professed desire to get these people out of our country.

Ingraham has always been eager to follow the Trump Administration’s twists and turns, to please Bondi, Blanche, ad nauseum, but there is no reason for Trump’s MAGA supporters to be happy with this. In this one critical decision, President Trump looks weak, very weak.  If the courts can order him around on this, there is no end to the damage they can do. He might as well abdicate his office and let the judicial branch take over the duties of the executive.

For four years, Joe Biden was said to be president when we know he was only a figurehead, a ghost. Now with Trump, it looks like we have seen the transfer of presidential authority to the courts. Even worse, Trump acceded to this transfer of his authority.

What the Fox News stars will try to do is convince us that the Democrats are to be feared if they return to power. But the Democrats are already in power through their power in the courts, and Trump will not challenge their power. It is sad but true.

Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875), a prolific Danish writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, is best remembered for his more than 150 fairy tales. Translated into more than 125 languages, they often include lessons of virtue and perseverance in the face of adversity.

One of Andersen’s most famous tales is “The Emperor’s New Clothes.” This tells the story of an emperor who was obsessed with always being well dressed. He spent lavishly on new clothes to the neglect of state matters. Knowing this, two crooks posed as weavers, gained entrance to the emperor’s palace, and offered to manufacture exceptionally beautiful cloth possessing the ability to be invisible to anyone who is incompetent or incredibly stupid.

The emperor greatly desired to have a suit made of this wonderful material, so he gave a large sum of money to the fake weavers. They set up two looms and pretended to be hard at work. Several court officials visited them to check their progress, including the emperor himself. Each saw empty looms but pretended to see magnificent clothing being made to avoid being considered an incompetent fool and unqualified to be in their positions of authority.

When the two crooks reported that the new suit was finished, they assisted the emperor in undressing him to his underwear, then pretended to put on the suit. The vain ruler arranged for a procession through the city under a beautiful canopy to show off his new clothes and attendants to carry his train.

Illustration by Vilhelm Pedersen (1820-1859) —>>

The people around the palace and in the city uncomfortably went along with the charade, not wanting to appear inept or stupid to everyone else, or run afoul of the emperor. They expressed admiration for the emperor’s new suit that was not there. But as the emperor walked by, a child in the crowd blurted out the obvious truth and said, “But he has nothing on at all!”

As the word spread through the crowd, the people began to take courage and echo the child’s words. Undeterred, the emperor continued his procession, and his attendants went on carrying a train that did not exist, not wanting to admit to being deceived, preferring instead to present a brave face and forge ahead with the illusion.

This tale illustrates how unscrupulous people can exploit human flaws and use peer pressure to get many to go along with or promote things that are clearly untrue. But it also shows that even one person resisting peer pressure and speaking the truth can influence others to do the same. While this story was done with humor, there are more serious parallels in real life.

A woman in her late 20s, whom I will call Karen, used to live in my neighborhood for many years. My family watched her grow up as she and her younger brother Robert walked past our home to and from elementary school and later high school. Sometimes Karen would stop and chat with us, and in this way we became friends. Even when her family moved to another neighborhood, she would sometimes stop by to visit us.

After Robert had been in college for a few years, Karen visited us at our home and brought him with her. She let us know that Robert, who now identifies as her sister, wished to use different pronouns and be called Roberta. While we were very polite to both of them, we could not go along with what we knew was not true, as that would go against our faith in Jesus and, indeed, reality.

We did not see Karen or Robert again but did receive an online message from her a few years later expressing her decision to disassociate herself from us because we did not accept that Robert was now being himself by identifying as her sister Roberta. She expressed her hope that we, as followers of Jesus, would accept this because it was her belief that Jesus loves and accepts everyone without exception.

While we were saddened and disappointed with how this situation turned out, it was not necessarily an unforeseeable possibility. Karen grew up in a family associated with a “church” that celebrated the LGBTQ+ religion. The government schools she and her brother attended also promoted this religion. Like the emperor in Andersen’s tale, Karen and Robert were gaslighted into believing that two plus two equals five, and that those refusing to accept this were disrespectful and unchristian.

This propaganda becomes more dangerous when adherents of the LGBTQ+ religion seek to use coercive government power to punish parents who embrace biological reality and First Amendment constitutional rights. An example of this is the Legal Protections for Transgender Individuals Bill (HB25-1312), signed into law in Colorado on May 16, 2025, which seeks to impose criminal penalties, including the revocation of custody rights, against parents who do not affirm their child’s gender dysphoria, which often has its origins in government school indoctrination.

At the Moms for America’s MomVote Town Hall on October 15, 2024, Tarin Swain and her daughter, Penny, shared their experience with a Ventura County, California, public school she previously attended. Teachers and school staff misled Penny regarding her gender identity, changed her name and pronouns in class, subjected her to sexually explicit homosexual books, and told her to hide all these things from her mother. Tarin eventually found out what was happening as she saw the results of these things in her daughter: changes in appearance to look male, severe emotional distress, and suicidal ideation.

Tarin pulled Penny out of school to save her from the delusion being pushed on her that was destroying her life. As she homeschooled her in a way consistent with her faith in Jesus, Penny became a healthy, vivacious young lady who was truly learning. Her acceptance of Jesus as her Savior, and indeed, reality, brought her peace and healing.

Jesus proclaimed the truth that in the beginning God made man and woman in His image (Genesis 1:27; Mark 10:6). The multitude of made-up genders promoted by the LGBTQ+ religion ultimately came as a result of man joining in Satan’s rebellion against God and his efforts to mar and destroy His image bearers. This unrighteous suppression of the truth and the encouragement of others to do so are among the things that call down the wrath of God (Romans 1:18-32).

In light of this, God calls on everyone to repent, because He has set a day in which He will judge the world through Jesus Christ, having provided assurance of this by raising Him from the dead (Acts 17:30-31). But anyone who trusts in Him avoids judgment and receives eternal life (John 5:24).

Followers of Jesus Christ are called to speak the truth in love and not be gaslighted by the trickery, craftiness, and deceitful schemes of men influenced in their rebellion against God by demonic forces (Ephesians 4:14-15, 6:10-17). A man who identifies as a woman, wears makeup and dresses like one, or even undergoes genital mutilation surgery is still intrinsically a man down to his DNA as God designed him in the womb to be (Psalm 139:13-14). This is evident in the fact that those who pursue this way of life often take dangerous pharmaceuticals in order to maintain the illusion.

Telling the truth to the emperor, not acquiescing with the lie, shows respect and love toward those misled into this false way of life and may lead to their deliverance. It is being faithful to Jesus, who loves and accepts all those who repent of their rebellion against God and believe in Him, the way, the truth, and the life (John 3:16-21, 36, 14:6; 1 John 3:18).

I realize there are many more pressing problems in our nation and world today than what I’m about to discuss, but these issues are already being addressed very well right now by others. What’s not getting much attention — and I feel needs to — are the ongoing failures within the US Postal Service.

The USPS has been in a nosedive, downward spiral for years and it’s only getting worse. While this agency continues to raise prices and continues to operate as an unsustainable, failing business, the service has gotten so bad now I feel we must address the situation head on.

I visit the local post office just about every day. I know the workers there well, and they know me. Over the past six months, I’ve had three postal employees, on three separate occasions tell me that they believe the Postmaster General is deliberately trying to destroy the agency. They were referring to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, who resigned this past March. In July, David Steiner, who has served on the board of FedEx will take over that position. Maybe that will be a step in the right direction, but the agency is so messed up right now, it’ll take years to straighten out, if it can be saved at all.

Just as an example, the mail service lost $9.5 billion last year, and $3.3 billion already this year. And recently, the USPS announced “Service Standard Changes.” Their fact sheet states the changes will come in two phases. The first began April 1st and the second will begin July 1st. While their fact sheet states that “all mail will benefit from more reliable service,” here’s what I’ve experienced since April 1st, when their first phase began.

As I ship large envelopes with copies of our printed newspaper to new subscribers, those envelopes, sent by first-class mail, which used to have estimated delivery times of 2-3 days are now showing up on my receipts as “expected in 7-8 days.” So, I don’t hold high hopes for their new “service standards.”

Things were bad enough already. And I’ve had a lot of bad experiences. Several years ago, I sent a flier to all of our readers and supporters in Wisconsin, to promote an upcoming Conference. I also sent one to myself, so that I’d know approximately when people would be receiving these. I used the USPS bulk mail service, and I mailed the flier six weeks in advance of the Conference, thinking this would be plenty of time, since, after all, I was only mailing to Wisconsin addresses, from Wisconsin. This was thousands of fliers we’re talking about.

They were shipped directly from our printing plant, which is approximately an hour away from my home. Take a guess as to how long it took for me to get my copy of the flier… eight weeks — two weeks after the Conference took place. Suffice to say that no one in Wisconsin received the mailing prior to our event, and we not only looked extremely foolish when people began receiving them two to three weeks after the Conference, but it was also a ton of money wasted on printing and postage.

We also use the USPS bulk mail service to ship subscriber copies of Wisconsin Christian News each month, since we’re mailing thousands of copies and first-class mail for all would definitely be cost-prohibitive. On the front page of the newspaper, near the address box, I do print the words “Time Sensitive Material — Please Deliver Promptly.” Of course, this really only serves to give the mailmen a good laugh. Even using bulk mail — and paying the bulk mail rate — we’re still spending a substantial amount of money to ship newspapers to subscribers, and it can take 2-4 weeks for our subscribers to receive their copies. Often times, they don’t receive them at all, and then I need to resend them, first-class.

Now, we’re shipping to subscribers in all fifty states, and the further away from Wisconsin you are, the longer it takes. Shipping bulk mail copies to subscribers in Texas or Florida — and other far-away states — can take 2-3 months to arrive, if they arrive at all. This, despite the Postal Service stating that bulk mail is delivered “nationally in 10 – 14 days, and locally within 4-6 days.” These are outright lies, because a large envelope, sent by first-class mail to an in-state address now shows me an “estimated” delivery time of 7-8 days.

This past November, we shipped our newspaper out as usual, but because it was bulk mail, even though our thousands of copies were hand delivered to the proper regional hubs that promised the fastest service, none of our newspapers went anywhere for a full three weeks. Then the long process of “bulk mail” service began. And although we shipped in mid-November, most didn’t get their papers until Christmas time or after, if they received them at all.

I’ve been doing all I can to get our newspaper to readers in a timely manner, but I’m at the mercy of the Postal Service. As an example, since we’re now mailing Wisconsin Christian News to subscribers nationally, for those who are not local or in a surrounding state, I “eat” the cost to have those subscriber copies sent in a first-class envelope and pay first-class postage. So instead of 2-3 months, most generally receive their papers in 7-10 days, but the cost to do this is extremely high.

Just one more example for you. This past year, with Christmas time approaching, I sent packages of Christmas gifts to my grandchildren. One package went to Texas and another to Colorado. I shipped these the day after Thanksgiving, allowing nearly four full weeks for the packages to be delivered. Surely that would be plenty of time, considering I paid extra for “guaranteed 2-3 day delivery,” right? Incidentally, the cost to ship these packages was more than what I paid for the gifts inside them, but USPS was the cheapest way for me to ship them.

After a week or so, I started checking my USPS tracking numbers. Remember now, this was “guaranteed 2-3 day delivery.” But a week after shipping, they still hadn’t left Wisconsin. It was a full two weeks after shipping, that they finally moved. From then on, I checked the tracking daily. Those packages went on a cross-country journey like no other. Finally, a week before Christmas, the Colorado package made it to Colorado — this was three weeks after being shipped. Maybe there was still hope. Nope.

It went from a sorting facility in Denver to a sorting facility in Colorado Springs. Then back to Denver, then back to Colorado Springs. Then to a sorting facility closer to where my grandkids live…but then back to Denver again! And on went the odyssey until December 30th when my “guaranteed 2-3 day delivery” packages were finally delivered. It took a month and two days. The Texas package was delivered about that same time, again, well after Christmas time.

I understand the “holiday rush,” and all that. But when paying upwards of $150 to ship a package with a so-called “guarantee” of 2-3 day delivery, and it takes more than a month, clearly there are problems.

And in this day and age of extreme rage and hatred of all things Christian by the radical Left, several of our subscribers have reported either not receiving their newspapers at all, or they receive them all torn up — deliberately destroyed. In one case, one of our readers caught the mail carrier destroying her copy of the newspaper before placing it in her mailbox on her security camera. She took the video to the local postmaster. Nothing was done about it.

You may think all this is just more bureaucratic government inefficiency. But you should realize that the Postal Service is an independent federal establishment, mandated to be self-financing. It isn’t supposed to receive any tax dollars for operating expenses, but instead, rely on the sale of postage to fund its operations. Which it used to do, and do quite well.

But it’s had multiple government bailouts, including $107 billion from Congress in 2022. And JudicialWatch.org wrote: “One federal audit slammed the agency for blowing the opportunity to save nearly $22 million had it bothered to maintain its fleet of vehicles more efficiently. A few years before that the USPS blew hundreds of thousands of dollars on professional sports tickets, alcohol, and fancy meals while it claimed to be crippled by an $8.3 billion deficit. The items were purchased by USPS managers and employees with special charge cards issued to U.S. government agencies. The USPS’s top executives have also been found to receive illegally high salary and compensation packages that should outrage the public.”

If that’s not enough, the Postal Service has also been caught conducting surveillance operations unrelated to its official duties and even tracking and collecting Americans’ social media posts and using hacking devices that can breach cell phones and spy on Americans. Need I mention the problems we’ve seen with mail-in ballots during election time — including postal workers destroying loads of ballots or, as happened here in Wisconsin, simply dumping them in ditches? While the USPS is supposed to be an independent agency, it’s become just one more example of massive government corruption.

Oh, and you’d better stock up on those “forever” stamps, because on July 13th, regular stamps are going from 73 cents to 78 cents, and postcard stamps are going from 56 cents to 62 cents.

I’m not at all saying that all postal workers are corrupt or incompetent. I know many of them very well and they work very hard, but they’re also very frustrated at the way the USPS has been run so poorly. Many who work there are just as upset at the situation as I am. I’ve always been as understanding and sympathetic to them as possible, even with all the problems I’ve had and continue to have. I doubt most in the general public are as kind to them as I am, and I’m sure they deal with more angry customers than most businesses do.

But right now, the system is badly broken, and like much of our infrastructure here in the US, may even be beyond repair. Part of the problem is Amazon.com. Years ago, the USPS gave Amazon a “sweetheart deal.” They agreed to ship Amazon packages at a deep discount, and gave a similar deep discount to regular Ebay sellers. But for Amazon, they went even further, providing Sunday delivery. By the way, only Amazon gets that deal. And while they’re giving deep discounts to Amazon — deals none of the rest of us could ever hope to get — they’re also paying their workers much more to accommodate the online giant through overtime and bonus pay for working Sundays.

Interestingly, companies in China can also send packages through the USPS at a tiny fraction of what the rest of us pay. A package that would cost you and me upwards of $20 to ship domestically, can be shipped by a Chinese company through the US Postal Service for less than $1.

But now, Amazon has developed their own delivery service. After being a big part of the reason our Postal Service is bankrupt, Amazon now has their own distribution and sorting facilities, their own trucks and delivery drivers, so they’re using USPS much less than before and plan to phase it out completely. I’m no fan of Amazon, but given the incredibly unreliable service at USPS, can you blame them? If there was any reasonable alternative to our Postal Service, I guarantee I’d be using it. In the meantime, we’re at the mercy of USPS incompetence.

• Why do local governments care so much about how we build our homes?
• When are building permits constitutional, and when do they go too far?
• Are excessive permit fees a violation of the Takings Clause?

In poker there’s a move called “Buying the pot.” This is when one person makes a very large bet in an attempt to discourage others from continuing the hand. But what if we’re not talking poker? What if we’re talking permit fees for the use of your own land? That is exactly what George Sheetz sued the County of El Dorado California for.

How many of you have built a house or other building? Or maybe you watch those home building or home improvement programs on TV. If either is true, you’re probably familiar with the idea of building permits. While I have many issues with the way these permits are frequently used, the case of Sheetz v. County of El Dorado, California, points to the use of excessive fees to control how you use your land.

Background

The question this case brings to the Supreme Court revolves around that Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment.

As a condition of receiving a residential building permit, petitioner George Sheetz was required by the County of El Dorado to pay a $23,420 traffic impact fee. The fee was part of a “General Plan” enacted by the County’s Board of Supervisors to address increasing demand for public services spurred by new development. The fee amount was not based on the costs of traffic impacts specifically attributable to Sheetz’s particular project, but rather was assessed according to a rate schedule that took into account the type of development and its location within the County. Sheetz paid the fee under protest and obtained the permit. He later sought relief in state court, claiming that conditioning the building permit on the payment of a traffic impact fee constituted an unlawful “exaction” of money in violation of the Takings Clause. In Sheetz’s view, the Court’s decisions in Nollan v. California Coastal Comm’n, 483 U. S. 825, and Dolan v. City of Tigard, 512 U. S. 374, required the County to make an individualized determination that the fee imposed on him was necessary to offset traffic congestion attributable to his project. The courts below ruled against Sheetz based on their view that Nollan and Dolan apply only to permit conditions imposed on an ad hoc basis by administrators, not to a fee like this one imposed on a class of property owners by Board-enacted legislation.

Sheetz v. County Of El Dorado, California

So we start with two interesting questions to consider. Shouldn’t a “traffic impact fee” be based on the impact to traffic? Or does an exorbitant fee amount to a taking under the Fifth Amendment? Mr. Sheetz claimed before the court that it was not the fee that was the problem, but how the county determined what that fee should be. This was not based on the law, but on previous opinions of the court. Previous courts held that the Supreme Court precedent cited did not apply. This court did not agree.

Held: The Takings Clause does not distinguish between legislative and administrative land-use permit conditions.

Sheetz v. County Of El Dorado, California

Precedent Above Law

Before we get into the details of the case, I once again found a very disturbing fact about this case. The question presented to the court was not based on the Constitution or United States law, but on court precedent. This means that, once again, courts are making decisions not based on law, but based on their predecessors opinions. This shows that we no longer have courts of law, but courts of precedent. Which means we are no longer a nation of laws, but of opinions, since any judge can come to any decision he or she wants, based solely on their opinion. It also means we are no longer a constitutional republic, because people believe laws can be “overturned” by unelected judges who are rarely held accountable for their bad behavior on the bench.

The Takings Clause

Let’s look at the Takings Clause Sheetz claims was violated, and see if it applies.

…nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation…

U.S. Constitution, Amendment V

Is charging a fee to obtain permission to build, taking private property for public use? In general I would say no, but this case is unique. The purpose of this fee was “to address increasing demand for public services spurred by new development,” which would be a public use. However, the Takings Clause only allows one remedy: Just compensation. When the property being taken is a person’s money, what compensation can be just? The only one I can think of is the return of the fee, which doesn’t make much sense.

Some may argue that, since taxes will be collected on the new residence, which could be used to not only maintain but update infrastructure, an additional fee is unwarranted. Still, that would not be a taking under the Fifth Amendment.

The court held that the Takings Clause “does not distinguish between legislative and administrative land-use permit conditions.” To me it seems quite obvious that it doesn’t deal with land-use permitting at all, since it is not a question of taking land for public use, but exercising control over that land. So are there any protections against abusive permitting fees in the Constitution? Yes.

Due Process Clauses

Just because the traffic impact fee was not only exorbitant, but used for more than just traffic impact, does’t mean Mr. Sheetz’s constitutionally protected rights were protected. As with many Takings Clause cases, what we really have here is a violation of the Due process clauses.

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

U.S. Constitution, Amendment V

The most obvious deprivation Mr. Sheetz encountered was the deprivation of his property, namely his money, but that’s not all. By requiring that Mr. Sheetz receive a permit to build on his own land, he was denied the use and benefit of that property. Before we get to the question of due process, there’s another clause we have to deal with, this time in the Fourteenth Amendment.

nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;

U.S. Constitution, Amendment XIV

Since the County of El Dorado is a subdivision of the State of California, they too are subject to the Fourteenth Amendment. Which leads to the question, when the County Board of Supervisors enacted their “General Plan,” which included this fee structure, did they do so with due process of law?

due process: 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

Is requiring a permit to build on your own property a governmental activity designed to safeguard the rights of an individual? Possibly. If the requirements for a permit are to ensure the safety and rights of others, then yes, because their individual rights matter as well. Does requiring a fee for the impact your building will have on neighborhood traffic protect the rights of the individual? Again, possibly. For example, if you are building a single residence, the impact on traffic should be minimal. If, however, you are building a development with multiple homes, that traffic impact would be larger, and may require the county to build or upgrade roads to support the new traffic. Does it protect your rights to be required to pay a fee not based on the impact your project would actually have on traffic, but based on some rate schedule cooked up by the county? I don’t think so.

Court Opinion

While the question before the court was the appeal of lower court decisions that the precedent cited didn’t apply because of how the fee was imposed, Justice Barrett wrote in her decision:

The Court’s decisions in Nollan and Dolan address the potential abuse of the permitting process by setting out a two-part test modeled on the unconstitutional conditions doctrine. … First, permit conditions must have an “essential nexus” to the government’s land-use interest, ensuring that the government is acting to further its stated purpose, not leveraging its permitting monopoly to exact private property without paying for it. …

Sheetz v. County Of El Dorado, California

First, the condition for issuing a permit must have an “essential nexus” to government’s land use interest? While I’m not sure about other court precedents, by limiting permitting power to government’s interest in land use, that should extend no further than the impact on both public and neighboring property.

But there’s more.

… Second, permit conditions must have “rough proportionality” to the development’s impact on the land-use interest and may not require a landowner to give up (or pay) more than is necessary to mitigate harms resulting from new development.

Sheetz v. County Of El Dorado, California

Second, these permit conditions, including the fees they charge, must be roughly proportional to the impact on the land-use. Meaning, in this case, the actual traffic impact of Mr. Sheetz’s building project.

While the court pointed out these limitations on the permitting process, the justices had to deal with the actual question presented to them.

As the parties now agree, conditions on building permits are not exempt from scrutiny under Nollan and Dolan just because a legislative body imposed them. Whether a permit condition imposed on a class of properties must be tailored with the same degree of specificity as a permit condition that targets a particular development is an issue for the state courts to consider in the first instance, as are issues concerning whether the parties’ other arguments are preserved and how those arguments bear on Sheetz’s legal challenge.

Sheetz v. County Of El Dorado, California

Yes, El Dorado County’s requirements for building permits can be reviewed under Nollan and Dolan, but the question of the specificity of those conditions are an issue for state courts, not federal. For this reason the court vacated and remanded the decision to back to the California Court of Appeals for further consideration.

Conclusion

So why did I decide to review this case? First, it brings to light something I’ve been seeing more and more of at the county level: The use of the permitting process as a means to dictating to people what they can do with their land. As I’ve stated before, using permitting to help insure that building projects do not deprive others of their rights is justifiable. However, the permitting regulations, along with their zoning and building codes, have become more about controlling what people do with their land than protecting the actual rights of others. This is one of the reasons it’s so important to be focused on what your local governments are doing; they are more likely to infringe on your rights than the federal government. Whether it’s excessive fees or just onerous regulations that attempt to dictate to you what to do with your property because of what someone else thinks, these deprivations of property violate the Constitution of the United States, and almost certainly the constitution of your state as well.

The fact that attorneys focus on the Takings Clause rather than the Due Process Clause not only show the failures of our legal education system, but why it’s so important that you know the Constitution and are prepare to defend and assert your rights for yourself. Because there is no guarantee that your attorney, much less the courts, actually knows what the Constitution says.

Two Cocks Never Do Well in the Same Barnyard. But There’s More…

Could it spread to Florida?

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are two of the world’s most powerful and successful businessmen. Both are far more accustomed to giving orders than taking them. We are very lucky to have both of them trying to help our nation out of the unfathomable messes handed us by the Obama and Obama/Biden administrations.

One of the roosters needs to grow up, and it is Musk. Elon, we did NOT elect you., but we know the tune to which you dance.

In the last week, the press and bloggers everywhere have been all about the blow-up between Musk and Trump. If you read or watch ANYTHING, you’ve heard of it. Must had come to the end of his agreed-upon DOGE (Dept. Of Govt. Efficiency) efforts, and apparently didn’t agree with everything Trump has done.

President Trump has said that Musk knew how the Big Beautiful Bill was being assembled and agreed, until he learned that the EV (electric vehicle) support was to be cut. Then, Elon began acting like a business owner. Surprised? I’m not. Money talks, and Elon has a long track record of listening.

When the attacks on Tesla’s, Tesla dealerships and even charging stations began, the Tesla balance sheet took a hit. BUT, when Musk started to attack the President, the bottom started to drop out. I’m guessing that Elon did NOT figure on that.

It is calculated that Tesla lost $150 billion in market cap (stock price) when Musk began to attack Trump!

Market Watch calculates the loss to be nearing $200 billion. BILLION. Even to one of the world’s wealthiest men, THAT amount is important.

Do not be surprised if Musk decides to change his tune. Money talks. Did Musk underestimate the support for Donald Trump around the world?? I think so.

Donald Trump took a big risk in inviting Musk into the initial months of his second presidency. He did so because he knows very well, if anyone alive does, how valuable is time and how much he had to accomplish in a precious short time. He took the risk, which many including Steve Bannon, did NOT think was smart.

I admit to wondering, but did not feel qualified to second guess – for the moment at least – Donald Trump. Musk had been with the Left, until he pulled a dramatic switch and donated over $280 million to Trump and the Republican run, via the National Musk’s own Grok AIX says total donations were approximately $290 million:

America PAC: Musk contributed approximately $239 million to America PAC, a super PAC he founded to support Trump’s campaign. This included $118.6 million before October 17, 2024, and an additional $120 million between October 17 and November 25, 2024, with $75 million of that donated before Election Day. RBG PAC: Musk donated $20.5 million to RBG PAC, a group that ran ads defending Trump’s abortion stance, with the donation made on October 24, 2024. Other Contributions: Musk gave $10 million to the Senate Leadership Fund, $3 million to the MAHA Alliance PAC (supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s “Make America Healthy Again” message), nearly $1 million to the Trump 47 Committee, $2.3 million to the Sentinel Action Fund, and approximately $289,000 to the National Republican Congressional Committee. Total Donations: Estimates of Musk’s total contributions to Trump and related Republican causes range from $260 million to $290 million, with some sources citing up to $291 million.

NOW, the losses at Tesla alone, so far, are closing in on the total amount that the reformed Leftist donated to Republican efforts.

After Musk left government service, he started to complain. First it was disagreement with the Big Beautiful Bill. Instead of talking to some Republican leaders, to whom he’d donated, Elon began to act more like his 5-year-old son, X, whom he toted everywhere in the first weeks of ; a pretty obvious ploy to reach us “common folk.” He started screeching on social media.

There are no reports as to whether or not Elon started to pick his nose in public, like little “X”.

Then, escalating his angst, Musk stuck out his tongue and put out a picture of Trump with some girls, all very properly dressed btw, at Epstein’s island, which picture had been around for years. Musk called it “really big bomb”.

Guess Elon forgot that even leftist Newsweek wrote, There is no evidence that Trump visited Epstein’s notorious Little St. James island, where the late financier is alleged to have trafficked and sexually abused young women and girls. Trump has also never been implicated in the offenses committed by Epstein or Maxwell.

The references to Trumps (father and/or sons) having been on the Epstein plane’s flight log, covered flights between Florida and NYC, NOT to Epstein’s Island. Seems strange that Musk could have forgotten something so key…. Guys like Elon Musk usually do NOT forget much. So think about this…

Might all of this has more to do with sinking the BBB and electing Casey DeSantis to replace Ron as Governor of Florida?? I am NOT a Donald’s fan, but this might be worse… There are several good men who may run for the Florida Governorship. Might the evidence of Musk Money back them down?

AND, once again, might the citizens of Florida have massive infusions of campaign monies dictate their governance?

Massey had endorsed DeGov for POTUS, and Paul never did endorse Donald Trump. Sudenly Ron DeSantis jumped on the X-wagon this morning, and vowed not to back down against Congress’s support of wasteful spending. Thus, allying himself with the Musk viewpoint.

Check out Laura Loomer’s X account on the subject. I picked it up for you on The Conservative Treehouse, because I couldn’t find it on X.

Neither Massey nor Ron Paul like the BBB. And we KNOW DeSantis does not like Donald Trump.

Might Casey Desantis get a boost in her bid for Florida Governor, and a bit of money from Elon? Time will tell, but, once again, it would not be support and donations from the citizens of Florida which would choose their next governor. “Dark” or not, Governor Ronald DeSantis knows that money from Elon could buy Casey an undeserved governorship, and keep himself in the political limelight for future Presidential runs.

Normally, when two big roosters are in the same hen yard, there is fighting. The altercations between Musk and Trump were to be expected. The aftermath may include more than we’d bargained.

I was ready to close this off and leave it to a struggle between two powerful men, until I saw the DeSantis tweet. When a little banty rooster (one 1/4 – 1/2 the size of the big guys) tries to get into the fray, things could get messy.

Watch closely, Florida. The RON PAC is still around and full of all sorts of Dark money. The cock fight in DC may spread its dirt far afield.

Post Script: Musk is backing down; Trump not yet… Stay tuned.

There is no doubt that ignorant and apathetic Democrats voted for the traitors and criminals currently in public office. These voters are really stupid Communists, and don’t know it. Who else would vote for their own destruction? The illegal invaders are especially harmful to minorities, who traditionally and inexplicably vote Democratic.

Democrats were the leading traitors in Congress, supporting illegals with little opposition from Republicans except for those who are MAGA People. Every person in Congress except for MAGA people should be “primaried” and also charged with Treason as specified in the Constitution, if found guilty of this specific offense. The illegal invasion is the greatest crime ever committed against the American people, and unless reversed will destroy the country and the people in it (Example is Europe!).

The Communist Biden Administration was nothing but a huge wrecking ball; every initiative was designed to destroy the country and enslave the people under Communism. It is a miracle that Trump is well on the way to reversing all of the other negative efforts to destroy America. God bless Trump and the Republic.

The corrupt Communists and their complicit judges are doing everything to stop Trump from deporting the illegal invaders. But the Constitution tells us in simple English how to overcome all judicial double talk and Treason. We don’t need any damn lawyer or judge to tell us; we can read one sentence.

Article I, Section 9, Clause 2: “The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.”

The Constitution gives the solution in one sentence. If the writ of Habeas Corpus is suspended for illegals, there is no legal way to stop deportation. The crooked judges and their wealthy Communist benefactors can go straight to hell.

Now let me give you the simple proof that if illegal Invaders remain, your Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Food Stamps, Housing Assistance, Welfare and all Benefits will cease.

Remember government income is 5 trillion but they spend 7 trillion and owe 36 trillion. Interest on debt is 20% of income and the Military is another 20%. Government is on shaky ground with many unfunded liabilities and a depreciating dollar. Now let’s look at specifics.

There are 71.6 million people on Social Security, add 21 million illegals or 29%, and the result is obvious.

There are 81 million on Medicaid, add 21 million illegals and the program is broken. Communist California alone spent 12 Billion on health care for Illegals. The result is that they are broke, and citizens had to wait in line for 6 hours to get emergency care.

We have 41 million people on food stamps, then add 21 million illegals and nobody gets anything.

Remember Communism only works until it runs out of other people’s money. Now it just happens that I and a lot of workers resent paying taxes to support communists in the cities and blue states. Things are so tight that we might raise hell over just paying for existing social programs, much less for illegals.

But there is one more little bitty factoid: most of the money in these programs is federal money and some day it will be cut off because it is unconstitutional!

Congress, except for MAGA people, is the most corrupt and traitorous group in the world. In the last 80 years Congress has, without a Declaration of War, killed 105,000 of our military, millions of innocent civilians and destroyed entire countries. Congress is drenched in the blood of innocents for no reason except for money.

We have another major perceived problem; and it is the mostly Black Communists in the inner Cities who have been taught that they are deserving of special treatment at the expense of others, resulting in discrimination of other races.

The Blacks were first enslaved by Democrats in the Southern states and they have continued that bondage by various devices to this day. I am referring to poor education and propaganda leading the Blacks to think that Democrats support them when the opposite is true. The millions of illegal invaders will have a disproportionate negative effect on blacks.

Many people have the impression that the Communist anti-family dictate is in full bloom in the inner cities, that young males don’t work or marry, they just fornicate and steal. Half of their babies are aborted and the rest are supported by the Communist government. I am not saying this is true, only that many people believe it is true.

Prior to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 Blacks were religious and had stronger families than others; they were extreme anti-Communists. The following programs gave them a sense of entitlement justifying discrimination against other races.

1. Civil Rights Act of 1964.
2. Affirmative Action.
3. Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI).
4. Reparations for people who have never been slaves to be paid by people who never owned slaves.

DEI was a continuation of Affirmative Action. Recently , the Secret Service, Air Traffic Controllers, Pilots and many other occupations were crippled or made dangerous because they could only hire women and minorities.

The illegal invaders and functionally illiterate Communists in our inner cities are the result of Communist (Democrat) politicians, media and educational institutions. I believe that many Blacks are learning that Communists were never their benefactors. Inadequate education and bringing in illegals to reduce wages and take their jobs should be enough proof.

Illegal Invaders must be deported as quickly as possible. We can’t support them or suffer the economic and social costs if they remain.

As is my wont, I have covered a very important and complex subject in almost an outline format to increase understanding. If you agree with what I have written it is your duty to forward this to your politicians.

May God Bless You and The Republic

When I was a nursing student decades ago, a doctor friend told me about an interesting case in which he performed a routine yearly checkup on a 12-year-old boy, including blood and urine tests, and to his surprise this healthy-looking preteen had blood in his urine. The doctor promptly ordered an intravenous pyelogram (IPG)–now in medicine’s dinosaur museum–– which revealed that in one of the youngster’s kidneys, the renal medulla––the innermost region––and the renal cortex––the outermost region––were reversed, and as a result the aberrant kidney took four hours longer to collect and then empty the body of urine.

But the doctor told me that the funniest thing was his mother’s reaction. “She said, ‘How did this happen, what did I do?’, and I told her that maybe she had the same thing, but she never had an IPG!”

Speaking of kidneys, I learned years later that a distant relative found out in his late forties, again as the result of a modern medical test, that he was born with only one kidney! And sticking with the theme of hidden phenomena, I recently learned that a former neighbor went to a neurologist with hand tremors, and the MRI the doctor prescribed revealed a hemangioma––a cluster of blood vessels––in his brain!

“How did this happen?” he asked the doctor.

“It might have been there for 20 years,” the doctor said, “even maybe since you were born!”

LESSON: There are approximately eight-billion people in the world and just about all of whom know nothing about what’s going on inside of their bodies…an undiscovered tooth high in the gum, an insect embedded in the skull, an undetected stroke, I even knew a man in his eighties––a friend and neighbor––whose doctors found a deeply-lodged bullet!

RELEVANCE???

What does all this have to do with politics?

Everything!

To explain. After World War II and the unspeakable, malignant horrors of the Holocaust were revealed for all the world to see––six-million Jews, from infants to centenarians and everyone in between––rounded up, crammed into suffocating cattle cars, hauled off to concentration camps, and gassed to death in Hitler’s crematoria, effectively eliminating half of the microscopic Jewish population of 12-million Jews in the entire world.

Surviving Jews all over the world dared not tell their children of this catastrophe, the better to shield them from lifelong paranoia, dread and depression.

But what followed––from the war’s end in 1945 to the miraculous advent of Israel becoming a state in 1948, and for about a decade or more beyond––was encouraging to these protective parents. Not one word of Jew hatred or vicious stereotypes or calls for the death of the Jews.

Aha, these naïve Americans––and Jews throughout the world––believed. Humanity has learned its lesson. We finally, at last, after almost 4,000 years, have nothing to worry about. Baruch Hashem!

WHAT LIES BENEATH

What Jews didn’t realize was that it was not benevolence or compassion or empathy that motivated the behavior of many in the outside world, but rather the self-interested preservation of the image they wanted to convey…of decency, tact, discretion, moral clarity.

But just like the clandestine kidney and the hidden hemangioma, the pathology––of Jew hatred––was there, probably, as the above-mentioned doctor speculated, for decades!

Inculcated early––in homes, houses of worship, schools––and magnified when the State of Israel was established, it was mostly manifested in certain institutions, professions, even country clubs that enacted quotas which excluded Jews, in a few vicious media stereotypes and in personal insults.

But it wasn’t destructive enough to stop this miniscule minority––most of whom fled to America with no money and no knowledge of the English language––from flourishing wildly in every avenue they pursued, from science and medicine to business to law to literature and other arts, the list is long.

When denied entry into medical schools, they built the finest hospitals in the country…to this day! When denied entry into top law firms, they established their own. When denied opportunities in the entertainment industry, they literally created Hollywood.

By the 21^st century, Jews had more than arrived. Although still a tiny minority of 5.8 million––or 2.4 percent out of a total population of 345-million––they have occupied several seats on the US Supreme Court, served in great numbers  as US Senators and members of Congress, enjoyed full professorships at America’s top colleges and universities, contributed mightily to America’s health through their discoveries and innovations, founded massively successful businesses, among them Dunkin Donuts, Dreamworks, Estee Lauder, Facebook, Google, H & R Block, Home Depot, Starbucks, Slim-Fast, on and on and on.  And in recent headlines, in the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s (NCAA) Final Four, three of the coaches were Jewish.

THE CESSPOOL ERUPTS, RAW SEWAGE EVERYWHERE

Then October 7, 2023, happened.

To be accurate, this subhuman-initiated catastrophe was preceded by a phenomenon never before seen in America, the entrance of blatant, virulent, noxious Democrat anti-Semites not only being elected to the U.S. Congress but blaring their toxic, Jew-detesting Israel-loathing racism for all to see and hear.

And without one single solitary word of disapproval from a sitting Democrat, including nine Democrats in the Senate––and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer––and 21 Democrats in the House. And don’t let them tell you they sent out press releases of disapproval…they mean nothing!

The sole defender of Israel and condemner of his Party’s racism has been Senator John Fetterman (D-PA), who the rest of the Democrat Party has now marginalized, if not dismissed.

But even worse than this Democrat travesty, which was ultimately rejected by 77-million people in their thunderous election of President Trump last November, is the true pandemic of anti-Semitism that has transcended the clandestine kidney and the hidden hemangioma.

Now, the once-hidden hatred is out in the open. World leaders—most recently in France, the United Kingdom, and Canada––but they are not alone––have given us a vivid picture of their psychological and racist hatred of Jews from their metaphorical X-rays, sonograms, MRIs and PET scans. They have let us look inside their hearts and minds and see clearly that their hatred––and probably jealousy––of Jews and of their biblically inherited homeland, Israel, is again, as the aforementioned doctor speculated, from birth, and no doubt in their DNA!

Here, Yonah Elias skewers these moral cowards.

LESSON

There is not a baby in the world born with hate in his or her heart. Hate is taught. Hate is learned. What we have been witnessing––really since Obama made his ignominious debut in our body politic––was that the hate that is learned has remarkable staying power. It transcends education and objective reality and cold hard facts. It is animating and energizing. After our most powerful emotion, fear, come jealousy and hate, which are often in desperate competition with each other.

And there’s nothing quite like the bandwagon effect to mobilize these haters into action. Hence, the great number of people who conveniently forget that it was Israel who was savagely attacked by the terrorists whose very charter pronounces genocide as its major goal!

But history doesn’t change. The world hated Jews when they were defenseless and now, they especially hate Jews when they fight back. And prevail!

From now on, when you look at the pro-terrorist politicians and media whores and United Nations shills, don’t be surprised. Just shrug your shoulders or turn to your friend and say: “Hemangioma, probably since birth!”

June 6, 2025

Decades ago, a Senator from Wisconsin tried to save America from a communist takeover. These days, a Senator from Wisconsin is trying to save America from financial bankruptcy.

We are talking about Joe McCarthy and Ron Johnson.

McCarthy was the target of character assassination who ended up in Bethesda Naval Hospital with a knee problem and came out in a body bag.

Johnson is the today’s real enemy of the Deep State, otherwise known as Big Government, which President Trump strangely wants to make bigger and more dangerous through more deficits and debt in his “Big Beautiful” bill that passed the House.

Johnson stands in the way. If he only gets 3 or 4 like-minded Republican Senators on his side, he can save Trump from himself and save the country in the process.

The White House insists the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimate that the Trump tax bill would add $2.4 trillion to the deficit over a decade is wrong. In an official release, the White House claims the bill reduces the deficit. But Senator Johnson’s numbers cannot be disputed. He is a Republican who wants to see Trump succeed.

Johnson is on a mission to save our children and grandchildren from financial ruin. He was sounding the alarm before Elon Musk left government service and warned the country that Republican politicians had passed a bill that was a “disgusting abomination.”

Yet, national MAGA youth spokesman Charlie Kirk is backing the bill, while admitting Elon Musk and Senator Johnson is correct about the financial dangers and the need to move toward a balanced budget. Calling himself a pragmatist, he is towing the White House line and selling out members of his generation. 

“Big government is the tendency for the government to expand itself for the sake of more power, control, and money,” says Kirk’s group, Turning Point USA. But with Trump’s bill, government will expand, not contract.

“We will soon pay more toward interest on the national debt than we do for our national defense — and we have the most expensive national defense system in the world,” notes former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. How does this make financial sense?

Trump sounds the alarm about the trade deficit, a legitimate concern, while pushing a bill that the evidence shows will expand federal deficits and debt. It does not make sense. He has made a serious mistake in his budget strategy and has to realize that blaming the Federal Reserve chairman for bad economic conditions won’t wash.

To the rescue comes Senator Ron Johnson, one of the most conservative Senators. Please take a moment to watch Johnson’s appearance on CNBC, the business channel, and watch him take apart, piece by piece, the “Big Beautiful” bill that he calls “immoral.” He has the facts and figures. He has an alternative approach that makes complete sense.

Johnson is unique in that he does his homework. He mentioned how he is using artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze the mathematical deficiencies in the bill. This kind of research is not being done by most of his colleagues. It is the kind of research that was done by Elon Musk and his DOGE associates. Johnson wants a line-by-line analysis of federal spending.

Senator Rand Paul notes that President Trump is demanding Congress cut $9.4 billion that DOGE found. But that is only about 5 percent of what Musk found. Paul opposes the House bill, arguing that it would add $5 trillion to the debt.

Rather than seek to restore fiscal solvency to the United States, Trump is asking Republicans to act like a moderate or light version of the Democratic Party, with a goal of national bankruptcy postponed by a few months.

“The golden age of America has only just begun” said Trump in his speech to a 2025 joint session of Congress. That will not happen with the “Big Beautiful” bill.

The White House can’t spin the facts about America’s financial problems.  But their public relations strategy seems to be working with such outlets as the Washington Examiner, supposedly a “conservative” paper, which ran a column by Michael Faulkender, the deputy treasury secretary, claiming Trump is building “a thriving economy.”

Yet, the warnings signs are all around us. The recent downgrade of the U.S. government’s debt rating means the experts doubt whether Washington will be able to pay its debts.

Thomas Savidge, a Research Fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research, writes that American families “will feel the squeeze through higher borrowing costs, higher taxes, a more aggressive tax collection regime, and a weaker dollar.”

Trump is apparently planning to blame Fed chairman Powell if his “Big Beautiful” bill passes and the debt crisis develops. But the blame will be on him.

Trump should listen to the Senator from Wisconsin, Ron Johnson, whose only motive is to save the country from socialist ruin. Trump should stop attacking Senators like Rand Paul for pointing out the obvious fiscal problems with the bill.

We can not depend on the so-called “conservative” establishment, which is instead urging passage of the meager $9 billion recission legislation. As Senator Paul notes, this is only 5 percent of what DOGE identified. The so-called Conservative Action Project memo, entitled “Conservatives Urge Congress to Pass President Trump’s Rescission Plan,” is a joke. This is penny ante stuff.

These “conservatives” don’t have the courage or intestinal fortitude to stand up to Trump’s irresponsible budget plan.

We need more conservatives like Ron Johnson who will stand up for real conservatism.

Just as Wisconsin Senator Joe McCarthy fought communism in the federal government and exposed real communists, Johnson is doing the same on a fiscal level, identifying those on the federal gravy train and inside the Washington Beltway who make their living at the expense of the American people.

Before he suffers another embarrassment, Trump should admit his bill is doomed in the Senate and reverse course quickly, embracing the approach of Senator Johnson.

As Johnson notes, it’s not too late to do what is morally right.

June 6, 2025  is the  81st  anniversary of  a day which should live in history and in the minds of all generations of Americans as a true milestone of liberty: D-Day, June 6, 1944.

On D-Day in World War II,  in the largest amphibious landing in history, some 156,00 soldiers, sailors, marines, air corps and coast guard members of primarily America, Great Britain, Canada, and also some forces of free France, Poland, and other nations, participated in the allied invasion at Normandy, France, to defeat the totalitarian tyranny of  the National Socialist German Workers Party (NAZI) of Adolf Hitler,  who had conquered all of Europe.

Those who fought at Normandy on D-Day to preserve freedom from defeat by Hitler’s national socialist fascists paid a terrible sacrifice. The beaches at Normandy, with NAZI artillery and machine guns established in cross-fire patterns, were, indeed, “killing fields,” prepared for slaughter. The sea and sands ran red with blood.

The beaches designated Omaha, Utah, and Gold were covered by the wounded and dying. Over 4,000 of them, including 2,500 Americans, were killed in action that single day alone.

In the month long Normandy invasion fighting which began on D-Day,  more than 29,000 Americans were killed in action, and more than 100,000 were wounded. Altogether, more than 400,000 Americans would sacrifice their lives in WWII.

But by their bravery and sacrifice,  they turned the tide of war in what the late famed historian Stephen Ambrose called “the climatic battle of WWII,” in his classic book, “D-Day: June 6, 1944.”

Hitler was convinced — and had convinced most of the western world — that his Fortress Europe could turn back and defeat any attempt to invade occupied Europe by sea. So confident were the NAZI socialists, that their top generals were elsewhere—including Erwin Rommel, the “Desert Fox,” Hitler’s best fighting general who had gained fame in the Africa campaign.  Rommel was on leave in Germany and caught by surprise when the invasion was launched from Great Britain for Normandy — and not for Calais, which the Nazi’s thought would be the point of invasion if one were made.

Hitler was confident his Fortress Europe would defeat any invasion, anywhere, because  Rommel, himself, had overseen the NAZI’s military arrangement of massive armaments all along the coast from Spain to Norway, creating Fortress Europe.

In contrast, on D-Day, June 6, 1944, there was great doubt among the allies that the invasion could succeed. General Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Supreme Allied Commander, and later President of the United States, actually paused to write a statement, in his own hand,  to be released publicly should the D-Day invasion be lost.

Gen. Eisenhower wrote that if the invasion failed, it was entirely his fault, and his alone. He made no excuses. He emphasized that failure  was not the fault of his subordinate officers or the soldiers who fought it, and did not blame any of the allied nations’ governments, military officers or troops. He, alone, took responsibility for defeat.

After writing that note, Gen. Eisenhower issued a simple order: “OK, let’s go!” American and allied soldiers went on D-Day, June 6, 1944. They fought. They were wounded and killed in the thousands, on that day, and in all the days of WWII.   But, they conquered. They saved the freedom of America, and the world, from the tyranny of Hitler’s national socialist fascists.

How many of us Americans will remember, and have a sense of thankfulness,  on this D-Day 2025,  that we are the heirs of freedom purchased for us by the blood of the thousands of killed and wounded in the D-Day invasion and all the days of  WWII which followed?

Who were those Americans of the WWII generation who fought the NAZI’s on D-Day and thereafter through Europe, while other Americans fought in the Pacific against the Japanese imperialists, more than 400,000 sacrificing their lives?

They were children of the Great Depression. As children, they knew “want,” not wealth. They went from the poverty of the Depression in their childhood, to the horrors of war in their young adulthood.  Many were in their teens. The average educational level of those who saved freedom in WWII was only the “Eighth Grade.” They, too, had their dreams of life. But they went to war to defend American freedom when our country called them to service.

Ultimately, more than 16-million Americans would serve in WWII. They fought. They were wounded—physically, mentally, emotionally. They were killed. They preserved our freedom by their sacrifice.

What were the beliefs, the values of those who served on D-Day and the duration of WWII? The late author Michael Novak, in his important book entitled, “On Two Wings—Humble Faith And Common Sense At the Founding Of America,” cites a study done in the late 1950’s on the values of Americans.

What the study found was that the Americans whose values were closest to the Founding Fathers’ values were the American families whose loved ones  had served in WWII.  Think deeply of the implications of that fact, especially in considering the dominant values of America now.

We Americans of this era owe a debt to those Americans who came before us and preserved our freedom. We pay that debt by what we do to preserve the freedom of those Americans who will come after us.

Therefore, a question we Americans must ask ourselves on D-Day 2025, is: If the values of the First Generation and of the WWII Generation no longer abide in America, will we Americans of this era —if necessary — be willing to preserve freedom with our lives as did the Americans on D-Day 1944 and all the days of WWII that followed?

May God bless and keep all those Americans who served on D-Day, June 6, 1944, and the entirety of  WWII, as “all gave some, and some gave all,” that we might be free.

May we, as Americans of this era,  still have the courage, and the values of love of God and Country of the WWII Generation, that led them to fight and die for our freedom.

FOR GOD AND COUNTRY FOREVER; SURRENDER TO TYRANNY—NEVER!

Note:  This is a reposting of a commentary that I wrote 11 years ago today.  06/4/14 sent to me this week by a reader at NewsWithViews.com  And The pulpits are STILL silent.

“For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that sets snares; they set a trap, they catch men. As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich. They have become fat, they shine: yea, they pass over the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge. Shall I not visit for these things? says the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?” JER 5:26-31

Despite what the political parties would like you to believe, the problem in America is not the politicians, it is the pulpits. I hate to break the news to you, but many of America’s pulpits are filled with cowardly men (and women). They are a shame to the Christ they claim to serve.

Harsh words, aren’t they? Not the type of thing that will make any friends in this “cheap-Grace” culture in which we live. But that’s okay. I’m not looking to make friends.

I am about fed-up with what I see. How did we ever get such man-pleasing leaders? All that our fore-fathers held dear is being destroyed before our very eyes and hardly a peep from the pulpit. They don’t want to hear it. It’s the pulpiteers that I am talking about. They are concerned with being “too harsh.” They tell me that “Jesus is in control,” that they are not “called” to fight evil and that “we should pray for our enemies.”

Where have these guys come from? What we need is a return of the Voice of God thundering through the prophets standing in America’s pulpits. Not the prissy Purpose Driven drivel passing as the Gospel today. The feminized-preachers of today cannot hold a candle to those who ushered in The Great Awakening which led to the American Revolution, and the abolition of slavery — two world-changing events spearheaded by the pulpit.

Listen to the message of America’s premiere preachers today. Rick Warren and his Purpose Driven Life have infiltrated the Church. Over 400,000 pastors have attended his conferences and over 40 million of his books have been sold. Wikipedia tells us “Since September 2002, over 30,000 congregations, corporations, and sports teams across the United States have participated in a “40 Days of Purpose” emphasis.

A May 2005 survey of American pastors and ministers conducted by George Barna asked Christian leaders to identify what books were the most influential on their lives and ministries.” The Purpose Driven Life was the most frequent response [not their Bible]. Today’s pew sitting Christians are more familiar with the words of Warren than the Words of Jesus. Thousands of America’s churches have used it in their Bible studies and thousands of preachers preach Warren’s message.

Joel Osteen was voted Most Influential Christian in 2006. His preaching style focuses on “the goodness of God rather than sin.” He is a self-described “Life-coach” and “thinks that there are probably others better qualified, or more gifted for explaining Bible verses.”  Osteen explains that he tries to teach Biblical principles in a simple way, emphasizing the power of love and a positive attitude … from Wikipedia. “Presently, Osteen and several Lakewood Church team members travel across the nation, presenting programs in large stadiums to a paying public.” He has sold millions of books to millions of feel-good Christians.

In the meantime, our nation continues killing babies, [queers/perversion are increasingly promoted], our schools are indoctrinating Christian-kids in Secular Humanism, and “Truth has fallen in the streets.” Preachers are attending church-growth seminars, using ‘self-help’ books to supplement their Bible, and chasing after the butts and bucks. They are fiddling while the nation burns, building their church empire rather than Christ’s Kingdom.

• Public schools are destroying the faith of Christian children.
• Legislation is introduced to remove the rights of parents.
• Children are taught they came from apes.
• Millions of children are “medicated” to control their behavior.

… But the pulpits remain silent

• Gambling is promoted to pay for schools.
• Babies are murdered in the womb.
• Planned Parenthood kills babies with our tax dollars.
• Judges make laws.

… Yet the pulpits are silent

• Tolerance trumps Truth.
• Homosexual sodomy perversion is granted legal protection.
• The institution of marriage is crumbling.
• Our President [2014] says the Sermon on the Mount justifies homosexual marriage

…Still the pulpits remain silent

• Government has replaced God as defender and provider.
• Faith-based initiatives invite the government into the Church.
• The IRS muzzles the voice of the Church.
• Taxes are levied to do the work of the Church.

… and today’s pulpits are silent.

• The Church locks arms with compassionate-conservatism.
• Children’s service agencies separate family members.
• Self-help books replace the Bible.
• A Purpose Driven Life is elevated above dying to self.

… and the pulpits are silent

• G.W. Bush says Christians and Muslims worship the same God. [YEARGHH]
• Our Constitution is ignored.
• Pagans pray to open a session of Congress.
• Our elected officials lie, cheat, and steal.

… the pulpits are silent

• Private property is stolen by the government.
• Green Earth is protected more than Father God is exalted.
• Illegal aliens over-run our borders.
• The [2014] American Presidency is more anti-Christian than any White House in history.
• The entertainment industry celebrates and promotes debauchery

… YET the pulpits are silent

From a bygone era, an increasing sound from the pulpit rumbles throughout the ages.

“Could a mariner sit idle if he heard the drowning cry? Could a doctor sit in comfort and just let his patients die? Could a fireman sit idle, let men burn and give no hand? Can you sit at ease in Zion with the world around you DAMNED?”   -Leonard Ravenhill

“Churches don’t need new members half so much as they need the old bunch made over. There wouldn’t be so many non-church goers if there were not so many non-going churches. Too many churches are little more than four walls and a roof.”  -Billy Sunday

The voice from the pulpit today sings a different song. “The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will you do in the end?” JER 5:31.

Truth, justice and the American way are a thing of the past.

“None calls for justice, nor any pleads for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth sin.” IS 59:4.

And tragically, the pulpits are STILL silent.

Stay grounded and stand your ground to keep them from grounding up your ground. “Carbon capture”(CC) is all about property rights, cash, and the capsizing of the Constitution – a seemingly ongoing process these days! CC is a process that traps/captures carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from power plants, industrial facilities or directly from the air, preventing it from becoming part of the atmosphere. The captured gas is then liquefied and stored underground or kept in a network of very long and wide metallic pipes that individually run for hundreds of miles covering a large swath of the midwestern and western states including much farm acreage. The liquified CO2 can be used to manufacture industrial products, although that type of use is still under development.

The pretext for this mammoth monstrosity is to combat global warming or climate change or whatever term du jour comes along to freshen up the fraud. The term CO2 is used interchangeably with “carbon” to make this colorless, odorless gas sound sinister and sooty. Never mind that CO2 is essential for the existence of plant life on the planet (and plants produce oxygen, essential for . . . well, you know!), and botanists pump it into greenhouses (as a “greenhouse gas”) to facilitate plant growth! And never mind that crop yields rise noticeably with CO2 added to the existing atmospheric levels. And never mind that current CO2 levels in the atmosphere are below average when compared with long-term historic levels and are close to being dangerously low. And never mind that some scientists predict a cooling trend in the climate or even an imminent short-term ice age due to reduced sunspot activity, which would destroy the rationale behind the scenarios of catastrophe churned out constantly as mainstream mindless memes.

The Department of Energy cheerfully submits that 96,000 miles of convoluted carbon capture pipeline will be required to meet “NetZero” goals. It is quite possible that such a pipeline or two will not be able to contain the pressure of the compressed CO2 and an explosion will occur along the pipeline. A few such ruptures have already occurred causing hospitalizations and evacuations. Global warming prognostications have already been found seriously wanting, causing proponents to employ prevarications and ploys to push their agenda. To assist the land grabbers in their power plays, those involved have employed lawfare, eminent domain and huge bribes to farmers to make offers to farmers they “can’t refuse” especially when they are made to understand what they don’t voluntarily sell at a decent price will simply be taken at little or no price at all! Bullying tactics, intimidation, and threats of legal action are employed where local resistance is weak, but there have been cases where the bullies have been thwarted and planned routes for the pipelines have been diverted or the pipelines even stopped in their tracks through concerted grassroots action.

However, once the bullies get their way, there are additional ramifications that can be rammed down landowner throats. The landowner will still have to pay taxes on the land the pipelines traverse and they may have to get the pipeline purveyor’s permission to add structures to the property, to target shoot on the land, and if a tractor should sink a few feet into the wet earth because soil has been removed to make way for the pipeline or the tractor is damaged going over uneven ground, the landowner could still be liable for damages and, yes, even deaths! The pipelines could create a plethora of additional problems such as draining or contaminating existing deep aquifers, rendering that water nonexistent or imputable. The liquefied CO2 could also be used for fracking that might create damage to adjacent land. There is a video that can be ordered that fully explains the situation with the pipelines and how people can effectively fight their installation. It is called “U.N. Earthing the CO2 Pipelines” which can be ordered by going to “ShopJBS.org” or by calling 1-800-342-6492. The DVD is a production of the John Birch Society.

Last weekend, illegal Muslim migrant Muhammad Soliman drove from Colorado Springs with his 16 Molotov cocktail bombs— into Boulder, Colorado, to fire bomb Americans walking along Pearl Street Mall. He injured 12 people that he lit on fire with his homemade flame thrower.

“According to the criminal complaint, on June 1, 2025, at approximately 2 p.m., Soliman threw two lit Molotov cocktails at individuals participating in a gathering near the Boulder Courthouse of members of “Run for Their Lives,” which organizes weekly walks to call attention to the Israeli hostages in Gaza. When he threw the Molotov cocktails, Soliman yelled “Free Palestine!” The Molotov cocktails ignited in the crowd of people, causing burn injuries to eight individuals.” (Source: U.S. District Attorney’s Office, Boulder, CO)

For the record, Boulder, Colorado invites illegal aliens to live, work and commit crimes in Boulder. I used to live in Boulder that stands as a mini-California where laws don’t count. Criminals hide in Boulder with immunity from the police. Their schools suffer from illegal children overwhelming the social services as to “free lunches”, free schooling, free books, free ESL classes, and free medical care. The “free” parts are citizens’ tax dollars.

In fact, the mayors of Boulder and Denver support open borders and Sanctuary City status. Our two U.S. senators support open borders and Sanctuary Cities. At the same time, Governor Jared Polis supports open borders and Sanctuary Cities. We’ve got 45,000 illegals in Denver. They cost us billions of dollars. They trashed downtown Denver beyond recognition. But, as they say, our mayors and governor invited them!

“The complaint also alleges that when Soliman was detained by local law enforcement, at least fourteen unlit Molotov cocktails and a backpack weed sprayer, potentially containing a flammable substance, were found nearby. A car registered to Soliman, parked a block away, contained a red gas container, red material consistent with rags used in the Molotov cocktails, and paperwork with the words, “Israel,” “Palestine,” and “USAID.”

When Soliman’s wife and kids were arrested immediately, and were set to be deported back to Egypt—a Colorado Federal judge stopped the deportation. The fact remains that the wife knew her husband was going to firebomb Boulder’s residents. She was complicit in his plan. Yet, she’s protected from being deported. In other words, even if Soliman had killed two dozen or four dozen people with a machine gun or C-4 bomb, the leaders of Boulder would continue to maintain Boulder as a Sanctuary City.

How crazy is it when two Jewish kids were gunned down in Washington DC a few weeks ago because our leaders are allowing open borders, rampant anti-semitism, and total disregard for the law? It’s becoming endemic in our colleges, our Sanctuary Cities, and throughout the country. Just kill Jews because they are Jews—-is the standard by which Muslims operate.

“The complaint further alleges that, during an interview with local and federal law enforcement, Soliman stated that he had researched on YouTube how to make Molotov cocktails, purchased the ingredients to do so, and constructed them. He traveled to Boulder in his vehicle with the Molotov cocktails and threw two of them at individuals participating in the gathering. He stated that he wanted to kill all Zionist people and wished they were all dead. He stated that he would do it (conduct an attack) again. Throughout the interview, Soliman stated that he hated the “Zionist group” and did this because he needed to stop them from taking over “our land,” i.e., Palestine. He stated that he had been planning the attack for a year.”

You cannot help but wonder when will mayors and governors get the message or connect the dots that we don’t want to incorporate Muslim terrorists into mainstream America? Do their own kids or wives or husbands have to suffer death from a terrorist attack before we stop accepting Islamic followers into America? Do we need another 9/11 or dozens of mini-9/11’s?

To show you what’s coming to America, in Vienna, Muslims are now more than 50 percent of school children. Teachers are quitting in large numbers because student attacks on female teachers, violence against authorities, and verbal abuse.

RMX News reported, “Teachers are quitting schools in Vienna in droves, with up to 20 teachers quitting per day due to the extremely stressful environments featuring mostly migrant Muslim children, many of whom do not speak German or very little German.

“According to a study by the Austrian Statistical Office, around 70 percent of school-age children in Vienna do not speak German in their everyday life. Now, the rise of mass immigration has created growing problems in the Austrian school system, with the Vienna school system threatening to collapse.

“Austrian politicians were more or less backing German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s idealistic approach to mass immigration from Muslim countries during the first big wave of migration in 2015. Now, Austrian schools are no longer able to cope with the problem they have been entrusted with because integration is still not a compulsory subject for immigrants.”

As you know from earlier commentaries, Detroit, Michigan stands as an Islamic Caliphate in our country with 300,000 of them practicing de facto Sharia Law. Another 125,000 Muslim Somalias in Minneapolis, Minnesota also practice Sharia Law. Same with New York City!

When the Hamas slaughter occurred October 7, 2023, the Muzzies in Detroit chanted on social media, “Death to America.” In other words, they are 300,000 strong—terrorists imported into our own country. Europe is already being displaced by 55 million Muslims, 10,000 mosques and incredible tension that will eventually morph into civil war. You know it’s coming as surely as the dawn. And, it’s going to be a bloody conflict. You cannot mix a 6th century barbaric religion into 21st century first world societies.

Muslims are already creating a 400-acre “Islamic City” near Dallas, Texas. It’s ALL Muslim, walled, and a territorial marker. We’re just sitting around thinking they will “play nice.” With Islam, there IS NO INTEGRATION into Western Society.

So why are we following in Europe’s footsteps? Islam is a 6th century savage religion that honor kills 20,000 women annually, all of its women suffer female genital mutilation, and a woman is 1/2 the value of a man. We’re talking about a religion that is GROSSLY incompatible with Western Culture—yet we keep inviting it into America to kill our own culture, free speech, women’s rights, children’s rights and animal rights.

Why are those scoundrels in Washington DC unable to “see” the obvious? Is it the same reason they didn’t want to “see” Joe Biden’s Alzheimer’s Disease for the past four years? Is the main stream press in on the same stupidity with Islam as they were with Joe Biden’s dementia?’

This quote cannot be repeated enough: “Islam is not in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Quran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only religion on Earth,” Omar Ahmad, Director of Council on American Islamic Religion.

Finally, in the Quran, “Convert or kill all non-believers.”

Whether it’s another BIG 9/11, or hundreds of mini-9/11/s like Muhammed Soliman in Boulder last weekend, if you’re a non-believer, you’re in their gunsights.

The ultimate question: Why are we doing this to ourselves?

Each day brings more and more information and evidence of massive corruption and waste of OUR tax dollars while illegitimate career criminal, Joe Biden, occupied the White House.  Of course, Americans whose blind loyalty is not to a political party have suspected – which I believe is true – Biden not only was already suffering from dementia in 2020, but by the 2024 election, he was and is in the first stages of Alzheimer’s.

Oh, let’s not forget lying by omission Biden has metastasized cancer and is on borrowed time.  Yet, here he is out on speaking engagements when he should be completely retired and receiving care at his primary residence.  Or, since the Biden crime family has hauled in so much dirty money, Miss Jill can put him in a swanky Alzheimer’s facility.  It’s beyond pathetic and I consider pushing him out there in public for the world to see is elder abuse.  No doubt in my mind Biden was never cognitively able (even though he and the shadow government cheated to beat Trump in 2020) to carry out the duties of a sitting president of these united States of America.  BOMBSHELL ALLEGATION: Joe Biden Was So Mentally Gone That He Got Lost in HIS OWN CLOSET at the White House, May 31, 2025

The danger to our country is almost beyond words.  Who doesn’t believe illegitimate president, Hussein Obama and several WH big shots were running the WH?  And the now exposed ‘autopen’ scheming – Biden wasn’t even in the U.S. when many EO’s were “signed by the president”.  As usual we’ll have some congressional hearings which are (I am able to watch many on C-SPAN; they do archive them) a lot of BS and outright lying by members of the Democrat/Communist Party USA for more donations to get reelected.  It’s truly obscene.  The one wrecking ball I do support (besides Rep. Andy Biggs) is James Comer [R-KY].

Let’s see what Blondie Bondi does with evidence – while the guilty run out the clock; statute of limitations. We the People are fed up with no accountability or punishment, i.e., Hildebeast Clinton and Benghazi.

I’ve pretty much tuned out a lot of talk radio which seems to focus on polls for 2026 & 2028 and “politics” while we have extreme problems that are NOT getting fixed which directly affect YOU, your family or even if you’re not married or a widow like me.  Top of the list because we can’t live without it:  WATER.

Americans, I would speculate more than the majority, have no clue just how dire the situation is either due to apathy, stupidity or they simply will not take the time to get informed or involved.  Yes, I do remember what it was like to work full time taking care of my only child with zero support from her father who skipped to Canada when she was 2 years-old to avoid paying $75.00 a month in child support. I asked for nothing but struggled financially to keep her in private school.  We all have obligations.  We would like to pursue life, liberty and happiness but that isn’t possible for people like me and maybe you.  Our republic is worth saving.

Illegal Aliens Stealing Our Jobs, Food, Housing, Water, Clogging the Courts & Health Care System, (Mine), June 20, 2022 – When the human invasion was fully underway.

“Water is liquid gold in this country right now.  The majority of Americans have NO IDEA how bad it is unless you live in a state or area suffering drought conditions. Tens of millions of gallons of water needed by Americans (especially farmers and ranchers) are being used up daily by double-digit millions of illegals.”

The global warming aka climate change hustlers have sold the world their lies and deception.  Oh, climate change is causing droughts, wildfires, blah, blah, blah.  That is a bald-faced lie.  Geo-engineering is a major culprit as well as dirty electricity which I covered during the push for those dangerous ‘smart’ meters forced upon unsuspecting Americans across the country.

We can also blame the “greenie” extremists. Desalinization plants in California and Fukushima, March 2, 2014. (Mine).  (You can bet the 8 million number skyrocketed after 2020.  I visited the desalination plant in Carlsbad, California so I could see how they operate; in short, it’s pretty amazing.  That one plant pumps out 50 million gallons of water a day.  Originally sixteen locations along the California coastline were approved; so far six are in operation.)

“It’s estimated there are approximately 8 million illegal aliens in the State of California. How much water do you think 8 million illegals use every day for baths, showers, cooking, cleaning, drinking, laundry, flushing toilets and other activities? In Sacramento, the average use per person is 279 gallons per day; SF gay Bay Area about 98, Palm Springs desert area a whopping 736 gallons a day and the LA basin where millions of liars, cheats and thieves live is about 180 gallons per day per person; see chart here.

“Now you’re talking millions of gallons of water used every day by illegal aliens in just one state who have no right to be in California much less suck down badly needed resources. The people in California who continue to vote for poltroons like Jerry Brown and reelect the same lunatics back to their legislature have no one to blame but themselves. It’s not just illegal aliens, it’s also environmental zealots:

California Fights Two Droughts, One Of Them Man-Made

“Californians have not built a major reservoir since the New Melones Dam more than 30 years ago. As the state subsequently added almost 20 million people, it assumed that it was exempt from creating any more “unnatural” Sierra lakes and canals to store precious water during California’s rarer wet and snowy years.

“Short-sightedness soon became conceit. Green utopians went further and demanded that an ailing 3-inch bait fish in the San Francisco delta receive more fresh oxygenated water. In the last five years, they have successfully gone to court to force millions of acre-feet of contracted irrigation water to be diverted from farms to flow freely out to sea.

“Others had even grander ideas of having salmon again in their central rivers, as they recalled fishing stories of their ancestors from when the state population was a fifth of its present size and farming a fraction of its present acreage. So they too sued to divert even more water to the sea in hopes of having game fish swim from the Pacific Ocean up to arid Fresno County on their way to the supposedly ancestral Sierra spawning grounds. The wages of both nature’s drought and human folly are coming due.”

And:

“While the rains have not come down in the amounts needed, pouring 800,000 acres feet of water into the ocean last year because of the delta smelt is downright dumb. The Central Valley needs water, yet 50% of its water goes to the protection of fish. California has not been allowed to build a new water storage facility since 1972—when the environmentalists win the people of the State lose—and we have been losers for more than 40 years.

“Short-sightedness soon became conceit. Green utopians went further and demanded that an ailing 3-inch bait fish in the San Francisco delta receive more fresh oxygenated water. In the last five years, they have successfully gone to court to force millions of acre-feet of contracted irrigation water to be diverted from farms to flow freely out to sea.”

Environmentalists Fraud—Want Farms to Close Down—THEN Refuse to Allow Development or Use of Land

“The environmental movement has destroyed as many jobs as Obama—both claiming to “help”. California has a drought, so the enviros have a solution—close down farms. Of course the farmers will still be paying taxes on the land—they will want to develop it. At that point the environmentalists will claim we do not have the water or that an expensive EIR will show a heretofore unknown animal, bug or fish exists and needs protection—at the cost of the farmer.

“This is how environmentalists steal private land—they create policies that make the land unusable, then the owners have to walk away. Shame on us for allowing these thieves to steal, again. “She says instead of spending an estimated $67 billion on the governor’s tunnels, a much smaller amount of money should be spent on buying up impaired land on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley and taking it out of growing thousands of almond and pistachio trees and miles of grape vines. But it’s not just the growth of permanent crops on the west side of the valley that has helped put the state into a water emergency, says Bill Jennings, executive director of the California Sportfishing Protection Alliance.”

“I am also convinced weather modification programs run by the U.S. government, the aerosol spraying of our skies, has drastically changed our weather patterns causing all of us to suffer. Geoengineering is yet another issue that can’t be covered in 500 words or less. However, there are excellent, FACTUAL web sites for more information: Brazen Propaganda From NASA (aerosol crimes) by Clifford E Carnicom. Full list of his columns is here. Also: Agriculture Defense Coalition has thousands of documents.

“During my adult years while living in California, there were droughts. I always wondered why California didn’t built desalinization plants? The single main factor fed to the public is too expensive. Well, when you have a multi-year drought that racks up BILLIONS for several years in a row in crop losses, unemployment and higher food costs for everyone, how expensive is that? Better to spend BILLIONS keeping liars, cheats and thieves in the state illegally. How expensive do you think this will be heaped on the backs of American citizens in California trying to put food on the table:” Rest at link.

Fast forward.  First we have global lunatic organizations: the WEF (World Economic Forum) and world government advocates dripping with false altruism, Council on Foreign Relations:  Water Stress: A Global Problem That’s Getting Worse, April 3, 2023 – Water scarcity threatens the health and development of communities around the globe. Climate change is intensifying the problem, pushing governments to find more innovative, collaborative ways to address water stress.”  Bird cage liner.

WEF:  Water demand is rising fast. Yet few realize how it impacts the climate crisis, Oct, 3, 2024.  There is no climate crisis and both of those organizations know it. I should say those at the top of the dung heap; the rest are simply brainwashed, living in fear the planet is going to burn up next week, next year, next decade.  Hell, that same propaganda has been going on since the 1970’s.  But make no mistake:  We do have a dead serious water shortage problem in this country.

Any solutions?  If CON-gress would pass a bill to cut off ALL welfare, city, state, county, federal to tens of millions of illegal aliens they would self-deport saving billions of gallons of water every day. ICE is doing a great job, but until you shut off the big magnet:  Free health care, free dental care, free cash (California), free housing, free, free, free paid for by the sweat of your labor while you and your family go without – illegals will continue to fight to stay here aided and abetted by mayors, governors and open border advocates (NGO’s), law firms.  This should have been done in 1993. Could have been done in 2017 because the bill was already written (1993); Republicans controlled CON-gress with a GOP president.  Nothing was done despite my best efforts.

Americans do waste a lot of water like letting the faucet run while doing dishes or taking 30-minute showers, but it really boils down to infrastructure and stopping the big lie about climate change.  We need more reservoirs and dams which create electricity greenies love to charge their EV’s with.  Stop the insanity of cutting off water to ranchers and farmers which is deliberate.

Beware of the bureau-rats

Idaho Farmers Issue Stark Warning About Nationwide Consequences After State Government Issues Order to Shut Off Their Water Supply: “Farms and banks will fail!” [VIDEO], June10, 2024  “The SOSs being sent to the American public by these farmers is an eery reminder of how easily and quickly our local, state, and federal governments, which are supposed to represent the will of the people, can control our food sources simply by picking winners and loser when it comes to who gets life-sustaining water and whose right to water will be restricted or in the case of the Idaho farmers, cut off.”

Mexico is NOT our friend. From allowing tens of millions of illegals from Mexico and other countries to literally storm our borders to the fentanyl industry, the cartels are big bosses and they think nothing of killing anyone who stands in their way.  Their new female president is worthless IMHO.  Vacation in Mexico?  You couldn’t pay me; I also haven’t purchased a single vegetable, fruit or anything else from Mexico since NAFTA.

Trump threatens tariffs and sanctions on Mexico for ‘stealing’ water from Texas farmers – Trump tells Mexico to give Texas the water they are owed under a decades-old treaty, April 10, 2025

“President Donald Trump threatened to impose tariffs, and possibly sanctions against Mexico, if it continues to rob South Texas farmers of Rio Grande water promised under a decades-old treaty.

‘In a post on Truth Social on Thursday, Trump proclaimed that Mexico owes Texas 1.3 million acre-feet of water under the 1944 Water Treaty, though Mexico was violating their obligation.

“This is very unfair, and it is hurting South Texas Farmers very badly,” the president wrote. “Last year, the only Sugar Mill in Texas CLOSED, because Mexico has been stealing the water from Texas Farmers. Ted Cruz has been leading the fight to get South Texas the water it is owed, but Sleepy Joe refused to lift a finger to help the Farmers. THAT ENDS NOW!”

April 11, 2025:  Mexico to make ‘immediate’ water payment to US as Trump threatens sanctions

And for those uneducated Mexican mobs who believe the LIES out of the mouth of politicians, we did NOT steal Texas or any land you scream and yell about:  The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo:  “The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, that brought an official end to the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), was signed on February 2, 1848, at Guadalupe Hidalgo, a city north of the capital where the Mexican government had fled with the advance of U.S. forces. 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 U.S. government at the time PAID the Mexican government $15,000,000 in gold to wrap up the deal.  [Note:  Our state legislature . TX, just passed a new law to start repairing pipelines, etc., to help farmers and ranchers, urban growth; big chunk of money which should have been done years ago.]

What Causes Water Conflict?, Nov. 8, 2024: “Mexican farmers set fire to government buildings, ambushed soldiers, took politicians hostage, and seized control of La Boquilla dam to prevent water from being diverted from their drought-parched fields and funneled away to the United States. “This is a war to survive . . . to feed my family,” affirmed a protest leader. National Guard troops opened fire, killing one.”

The water wars of the future are here today – “Seven thirsty states, including California, are fighting over the dwindling waters of the Colorado River. USC experts look at how we got here — and why this was inevitable. February 28, 2023”

Texas Farm Bureau calls for action on water crisis, March 11, 2025: “Years of severe drought conditions combined with extreme population growth are putting pressure on the state’s water resources. During a recent Texas House Committee on Natural Resources hearing, Texas Farm Bureau testified on the critical need for immediate action to the water crisis.

“The state’s farmers and ranchers are the most vulnerable to drought and water supply disruptions.  “We’re living it right now. We are the example of what happens if you do not have a water supply you can depend upon,” Billy Howe, TFB associate director of Government Affairs, said.

“He noted the Texas cattle inventory is at near record lows and the national implications of that.  “Ranchers are having to sell off livestock because they simply don’t have the grass to graze them because it’s not raining, and you can’t feed your way out of a drought,” he said.”  Extreme population growth:  We’ve been over run by ILLEGAL aliens using our water resources.

There are too many heart-breaking stories about our ranchers and farmers in so many states because there’s not enough water.  Droughts have plagued this country for centuries and they were NOT caused by the BS climate change.  Lack of planning, infrastructure bear the burden of blame.  AND the spraying of our skies. Most Americans have NO appreciation for our farmers, ranchers and dairy farmers, they don’t.  It’s a very hard life, work from sun up to sun down to feed YOU and your family.  Water is absolutely critical to them.

I also firmly believe after countless hours of research that geo-engineering has done enormous damage to normal weather cycles in this country (and in dozens of countries worldwide).  He who controls the weather controls our food supply.  This is not a conspiracy theory.

State-Level Geoengineering Bans: Florida, Montana, and Beyond (In the works: TX which I’m sure is dead because the session ended yesterday and doesn’t come back until Jan. 2027), FL, MT, NJ, NC, PA, RI, VT) None of this would have been possible if Americans had not been pounding on their legislatures about the poisoning of our skies.  Video at :14 seconds: Governor DeSantis regarding the bill.

The Paradise, Calif., fire was NOT started by geo-engineering or DEW’s. That is a fact.  The fire in Lahaina, Maui, same in my opinion after a hell of a lot of research.  There is NO question in my mind having researched this since 2002, spraying our skies to produce rain or fight the big lie, climate change, has caused droughts, destruction of crops and caused a provable uptick in respiratory illness.

Contrails:  Killing Us Softly? Mine, March 19, 2007 – READ. One of the links at the bottom of my column:  Experimental Weather Modification, Adverse impacts on Agriculture and Micro-Climates, Current Weather Modification Programs (2006): “U.S. Senate Bill 517 and U.S. House Bill 2995, a bill that would allow experimental weather modification by artificial methods and implement a national weather modification policy, does not include agriculture or public oversight.”  Agriculture is being destroyed by weather modification.

And remember these:  Big pharma – there’s no money in the cure, only the treatment and yesterday’s conspiracy theories are today’s truth.

I highly recommend What in the World Are They Spraying? The Chemtrail/Geo-Engineering Cover up Produced by G. Edward Griffin, Michael Murphy, and Paul Wittenberger – DVD – share the cost with friends.  “By now everyone has seen crisscrossing streaks of white clouds trailing behind jet aircraft, stretching from horizon to horizon, eventually turning the sky into a murky haze. Our innate intelligence tells us these are not mere vapor trails from jet engines, but no one yet has probed the questions: WHO is doing this and WHY. With the release of this video, all of that has changed.”  Watch the short trailer.  And do share this truth. Demand your state legislature ban the spraying.

“Consider that much of what we see concerning their selling points, this when it comes to their “social credit score”, is sold to you from the high crime rates that occur. For example, they’ll say that rising crime in America is the reason why we need a social credit score. Yet, do consider, that if they were upholding and magnifying the Law in condemning the crimes (Deuteronomy 25:1), there would be nothing to sell. In other words, these are just excuses to implement more control.”

Let’s get right to it.

Let’s go to Communist China to see what it is that the corrupt means to establish here in America.

It’s called the China Social Credit System. The system is a government-led initiative that assigns citizens and businesses a score based, get this, on their behavior and compliance with laws and regulations.

According to the Chinese government, this system is premised on the philosopher Confucius.

This system claims to aim and reward positive behavior and punish negative behavior through various measures.

In other words, they are rewarded or punished according to their allegiance and submission to their master, the state.

While the US does not have a formal social credit system in the same way as China, it does have mechanisms to track and address various issues related to creditworthiness and compliance, at least thus far.

Let’s take a look at how this system is used in China, today. Please pay attention to the details.

Citizens: The social credit system aims to track and assess the trustworthiness of Chinese citizens based on various factors, including their financial behavior, compliance with laws, and social behavior.

Work: Individuals with poor social credit scores may face difficulties in finding certain jobs or being promoted, as it can be considered a factor in their reliability and trustworthiness.

Travel: A low social credit score can lead to restrictions on travel, including bans from flying or taking certain train routes.

Businesses: The system also tracks the social credit scores of businesses and organizations, impacting their ability to access funding, participate in public tenders, and receive certain government support. A bad credit score comes with penalties like reduced access to credit and fewer business opportunities.

Rewards and Punishments: Individuals and businesses with high scores may receive benefits like easier access to loans and preferential treatment in various sectors. Those with low scores may face restrictions on travel, access to certain services, and employment.

Criticism: The system is criticized for its potential to be used for political control and surveillance. It has also raised concerns about privacy and the possibility of arbitrary decisions.

In essence, China’s social credit system is designed to control, monitor and influence the behavior of its own citizens.

Let’s now observe how the system is used against them who do not comply with the control methods of the state.

Punishments in China’s Social Credit System

Businesses and individuals with a bad social credit score face several potential punishments.

Because of the public nature of the blacklist system, people and organizations with low credit could face restrictions from certain luxuries like travel and lodging. However, the challenges of low social credit also extend to basic needs, like school and employment.

Below are a few examples of penalties entities could face with a low social credit score.

• Travel bans. People with low social credit ratings often face restrictions from traveling by plane or train in China. The travel ban also extends to traveling overseas to stop people with bad social credit from leaving the country.
• School bans. Those with a low social credit score may face school bans for their children. Schools and universities deny students whose parents have violations on their social credit score such as high debt.
• Hotel bans. Similar to the travel ban, certain hotels ban individuals with low social credit scores. Hotel bans hinder people’s ability to travel for work or tourism and limit freedom to move throughout the country.
• Internet throttling. People with low credit scores may also face slower internet speeds as a penalty. Internet throttling impacts an individual’s ability to apply for jobs, communicate with others, and access information online.
• Career obstacles. Individuals with low social credit scores may face career challenges in China. Companies consult blacklists before hiring, and some positions in government are restricted to those who meet a social credit threshold.
• Public shame. Given the public nature of the social credit system and blacklist, people with poor credit often face public shaming. Regulators have encouraged “naming and shaming” practices, harming individuals’ social standing and preventing businesses from growing.

Much of this was tested on the American people during Covid.

Remember, this is also in the works in America through different unconstitutional avenues.

Now, before reading the conclusion, do contemplate that our Rights come from the Lord, not the generosity of the state. What can we observe?

This limited representative government has gone rogue.

If they are not criminally trying to remove cash to create a cashless system (Article I, Section 10, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution prohibits states from making anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts), in order to wield control over your lives, they are simultaneously attempting to create a social credit score system just like that of China.

The blatant usurpations in acting outside of their representee scope of authorities; this is where the said representatives assume authority that has never been delegated from “We the People” unto them.

Their blatant undermining of the Law demonstrates that they act out under the color of Law while transgressing the Law (1 John 3:4) in establishing what they deem “policy.”

As a side note, color of law refers to the appearance of legal authority or an apparent legal right that does not exist. The term is often used to describe the abuse of power under the guise of state authority and is therefore illegal. This is where they attempt to put themselves in the place of the Lawgiver just like that of Communist China. Read Isaiah 14:12-15.

Additionally, Communism has historically been associated with revolutionary movements, aimed at overthrowing capitalist systems and establishing Communist states. Just like what we are seeing in the halls of government today in America.

What should be of interest to the American people is that they are attempting to sell to you what may have the appearance of law, the color of law and may even sound like law, and yet, as I have noted, it is not the law.

As a matter of fact, if you take the time to observe their iniquitous methods, you will find that, in many cases, they are guilty of promoting the lawlessness that encourages the very crimes that they claim to condemn (Proverbs 17:15).

Consider that much of what we see concerning their selling points, when it comes to their “social credit score”, is sold to you from the high crime rates that occur. For example, they’ll say that rising crime in America is the reason why we need a social credit score. Yet, do consider that if they were upholding and magnifying the Law in condemning the crimes (Deuteronomy 25:1), there would be nothing to sell. In other words, these are just excuses to implement more control.

Furthermore, when people do not take the time to see through their method of insidiously wielding absolute control of their lives, you will find these criminal representatives (1 John 3:4) act as if the world is theirs to give to whomsoever bows down to their good graces. Out with the old law, which produces freedom when obeyed, and in with the new corralling policy as they enslave.

In conclusion: As John Hancock rightly stated, “Our liberties do not come from charters; for these are only the declaration of pre-existing rights. They do not depend on parchments or seals; but come from the King of Kings and the Lord of all the earth.”

Make no mistake. We were on the brink of Guerilla Warfare and a Dystopian future if Trump had not been elected. But this is only a brief respite unless Trump can navigate through the following realities:

1. We remain on the brink of Economic and Financial ruin if Trump’s Heroic, Bold and Go-for-Broke Policies are not successful . We really have no choice. These policies were designed to, among other things, return manufacturing jobs to the United States, reduce inflation, and reduce our foreign exchange trade deficits.

The resulting increase in middle class employment is expected to revitalize the American Dream, reduce inflation, strengthen the dollar, and rebuild the Rust Belt.

2. The use of tariffs is the essential component to revitalize our economy, as it did prior to the Coup of 1913 when tariffs financed the government and protected industries and jobs.

3. But it must be noted in the strongest possible words that our Constitutional Republic was not designed to be financed by federal income taxes. In fact, it is impossible to have a Constitutional Republic supported by federal income taxes. The Federal Establishment (it is not a government) must be financed with tariffs alone, with contributions from the states if necessary. Federal income taxes finance wars, Communism, and put all power in the Federal Establishment and the Parasitic Super-Rich Ruling Class (PSRRC), contrary to the Constitution. The PSRRC are the super-rich who control corporations which direct and bribe politicians.

4. Our 36 Trillion-dollar deficit is like a sword over our heads, ready to destroy us economically at any time. Interest on this debt is over one Trillion dollars a year and growing rapidly. It is equal to 20% of government income. It is an impossible burden that can only be corrected by terminating all unconstitutional functions (a majority) and limiting Federal Establishment to functions authorized by the Enumerated Powers in the Constitution. Most of the Federal Establishment is now a Criminal Enterprise with no legal support whatsoever. President Trump has the power to correct this because it is not legal.

5. The Privately-Owned Federal Reserve Bank is Unconstitutional and manipulates our currency for the benefit of the PSRRC (such as for wars for profit). The currency must be returned to gold and silver backing to reduce inflation and maintain value. They can’t print gold to finance wars.

6. We have a major barrier to a functioning Constitutional Republic, and it is the established Communist Governments. In big cities and Blue states, the able-bodied Communists who don’t work are unconstitutionally funded by the Federal Establishment from taxes collected from working people. Remember Communism only works until it runs out of other people’s money. One of three things will occur: unlawful money will be cut off, those who work will demand a cutoff, and Communists will revolt when funds are cut. It is important to note that funds paid to those who do not produce goods or services are highly inflationary.

7. Our political leaders since at least the Coup of 1913 have ignored the admonition of our founding fathers to stay out of foreign wars. We had no business being in WW one or two or any conflict in the last 80 years. None of the antagonists could invade us and only the Military-Industrial Complex of the PSRRC profited. Our oceans protect us from invasion. We are only vulnerable to nuclear war and the Communists within.

8. As a bankrupt country, we have no business in wars with or without a Declaration of War, or unlawfully spending money on foreign aid and stationing our troops in 150 countries.

9. The greatest single threat to our Constitutional Republic, our standard of living, and our security are the tens of millions of illegal invaders. They destroyed Europe. All financial assistance to illegals must be terminated and they must be deported as quickly as possible, regardless of cost. May the politicians of both parties who allowed open borders go straight to hell.

10. We have a severe shortage of English-speaking high-school graduates in the labor force because the federal establishment gives them more benefits of all kinds to encourage them not to work. In many cases these government benefits exceed what they could earn working (and are Unconstitutional)!

11. We have a serious problem because we support Israel in its Genocide in Gaza. A good part of the world hates Israel, and hates us for supporting them. The foreign aid we give Israel and any country is unconstitutional. I lack firsthand knowledge that the Jewish lobby controls our government but the preponderance of evidence supports that opinion. It further states that we have been in almost constant war in the Middle East in support of Israel and our Military Industrial Complex.

The difficulties facing our country are complex but the solutions are simple and well-known (obey the Enumerated Powers). When you have a Constitution and mostly ignore its provisions, you end up with a mostly Criminal Enterprise and the “Royal Order of the Purple Shaft with Barbed Wire Clusters.”

God Bless You and the Republic

Beginning immediately, Stargate will be building the physical and virtual infrastructure to power the next generation of advancements in AI, and this will include the construction of colossal data centers. —President Donald Trump

The first of them (the AI buildings) are under construction in Texas. Each building is a half a million square feet. There are 10 buildings currently being built, but that will expand to 20 and other locations beyond the Abilene location, which is our first location.  —Larry Ellison

Congress needs to pass the SAVE Act to stop our broken borders from further breaking our elections. —Representative Chip Roy (R-TX), principal author of the SAVE Act

Rep. Chip Roy (TX-R) claims, “This bill fixes a problem where the federal government was the barrier to states being able to ensure that only citizens vote; the bill makes sure that citizenship is being checked to vote in federal elections for House, Senate, and the President.”

Not true!  What the SAVE Act does is disenfranchise American women who have previously been married and divorced and have changed their surnames one or more times.

Last September, I wrote about this diabolical act. In the original article, retired Army JAG officer and private attorney Joanna Martin clarified the evil that would happen if this bill becomes law.  It is worth the review:

Section 1 of the 14^th Amendment doesn’t grant citizenship status to everybody who is born here.  When Congress passed it, they specifically discussed that it wouldn’t make American Indians US citizens even though they were born here.  That was because Indians weren’t “subject to the jurisdiction of the United States” – they were subject to the jurisdiction of their Tribes. 

When the French ambassador’s lovely wife gives birth to a child here, that child is not “subject to the jurisdiction of the United States” – the child is subject to the jurisdiction of France. 

When illegal aliens breach our Borders and invade our land, and then give birth here, their children are not “subject to the jurisdiction of the United States” because the parents are here illegally.  Their children are subject to the jurisdiction of the Country the invaders left.  That’s why all of them can be (and should be) deported. The children are not US citizens.

When American Missionaries, or Diplomats, or military personnel, etc. have a child born abroad, their child is NOT subject to the jurisdiction of the Country in which the child is born. Their child is born a US Citizen. This is an ancient Principle.     

But the SAVE Act violates Section 1 of the 14^th Amendment because it provides that anyone born here is a “US Citizen” and will be eligible to vote in federal elections. So, the children of those 10 to 40 million illegals who have invaded our Country would be eligible to vote in all federal elections. The child of the French ambassador and his Wife would be eligible to vote here – and I expect under French law; the child would be eligible to vote in France as well. 

Every Republican in the House voted for the Save Act, but it has not yet passed in the Senate.

Rep. Sensenbrenner (WI-R) was the author of the Patriot Act and the REAL ID.  The REAL ID is your National ID card, which we have long fought against as they create extreme risks to data security.  Every major corporation and financial institution has been hacked including the Pentagon.

The “Star Card” type of REAL ID Driver’s License, is a federal identification and tracking card.  The REAL ID card distinctive is that the photograph taken is also a facial recognition digitized photograph taken in a special way that is linked to actual international standards that come out of the United Nations.

Thomas Massie was against the REAL ID.  He said it wouldn’t keep terrorists from hijacking planes.  Neither of Sensenbrenner’s bills are good.  Trump and Noem say it will keep the illegal aliens from voting.

Leo Hohmann tells us that Cities nationwide are quietly deploying facial recognition technology to track your every move.  “In a few cities, like Milwaukee and New Orleans, there has been a public debate and pushback. If we fail to stop this technology, every city will become a Smart City and eventually a 15-minute city.”

The people who allegedly cannot vote or fly will be American women who were divorced, had changed their surnames and cannot retrieve a divorce decree to prove their personage.

Over the past 40 years, Vice President J.D. Vance has had three different last names: Bowman, Hamel, and Vance, and his first name has been abbreviated differently.  I’d bet he hasn’t had to jump through the insane hoops female divorcees have had to and President Trump doesn’t check his ID when he boards Air Force One.

In 1965 I married a college sweetheart and was divorced two years later.  That was 60 years ago.  I don’t remember the day I got married or even the date of the divorce decree.  This was in Cook County, Illinois where it is impossible to get through to the Civil Division of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County.  Calling during business hours is of no help because the phone is never answered.  You are told to leave a message and they’ll call you back; I have left 18 messages and never received a call back.  I called various other numbers and was told to email certain divisions and never received a response.

Cook County’s estimated 2025 population is 5,038,084 with a growth rate of -0.48% in the past year according to the most recent United States census data. Cook County is the largest county in Illinois. Four Illinois governors have ended up serving time in prison. They are: Otto Kerner, Jr., Dan Walker, George Ryan, and Rod Blagojevich. One can only hope that their present Governor, Democrat Jay Robert Pritzker ends up the same way.

According to Voting Rights Lab’s voter legislation tracker, there are currently 52 bills introduced in 24 states to impose or expand proof of citizenship requirements.

In my state, you must visit a Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security Driver Service Center. You’ll need to provide two forms of identification, including proof of your Social Security number and two proofs of residency. You’ll also need your divorce decrees from previous surname changes.  Therein lies the rub.

With the rushed passage of the REAL ID on May 7, 2025, by DHS Director Kristi Noem, people are clamoring to attain the proper driver’s license that would avail your ability to board airlines and to vote.  Again, females must prove marriage and divorce decrees in order to attain the REAL ID license.

The TSA lists 16 acceptable identifications. One of them is a passport, so realistically, American citizens will need a passport to fly anywhere in their own country.

There is a way out for women who have changed their surnames…

If you have a passport, you are cleared.  Even if your passport is expired, it clarifies that you were previously verified as an American citizen.  The passport postal office will renew it without having to produce the divorce decrees.  This is what I have done.

Apparently, all the hullabaloo about not being able to fly without the REAL ID has been consistently promoted by people who want you to have the starred Driver’s License, including DHS Director, Kristi Noem.  Here are the facts, from the Citizen’s Council for Health Freedom.  Not even my congressman’s office knew this…

The Ultimate Goal

The REAL ID is only the beginning.

America is number one in Artificial Intelligence startups with $249 billion in private investments.  China is second with $95 billion.

In early January, Trump introduced to America the three men who will head up the Stargate Project, a joint venture investing more than $500 billion in AI infrastructure in the United States, the leaders of three top tech companies:

• Oracle’s Larry Ellison owns approximately 40.96% of the company’s shares.  Vanguard Group, Inc.is the second-largest shareholder with a 5.754% stake.
• Sam Altman is a co-founder and former CEO of OpenAI, a non-profit AI research company. In 2015, he co-founded OpenAI with Elon Musk, with the goal of ensuring AI development benefits humanity.
• Masayoshi Son, CEO of SoftBank Group, a technology-focused investment holding company, as well as chairman of UK-based Arm Holdings and US-based Stargate LLC.

SoftBank and OpenAI are the lead partners for Stargate, with SoftBank having financial responsibility and OpenAI having operational responsibility. Masayoshi Son will be the chairman.  The Stargate initiative involves the building out of data centers sufficient to support a complete control grid and all-digital monetary system.  Abilene, Texas is the home of the first center.

That same codename, Stargate, was used during the Cold War for some bizarre CIA operations.  It was related to Allen Dulles’ MK Ultra Project through the CIA.

For a quick overview of what Stargate will bring us, read Janet Levy’s frightening article, Is Stargate a Gateway to the Digital Gulag?  Stargate will advance the global elite’s Great Reset.

Abilene, Texas, is the location of the first major AI data center project.  They intend to build numerous data centers across the US to support AI development and advance US leadership in AI.  The techies claim AI will create jobs, but Rep. Thomas Massie says we’ll end up losing entrée level jobs to AI and could easily end up with 20% unemployment.

We already have two cases of AI turning on the people controlling it.  A new AI model has attempted to blackmail human engineers to prevent its own replacement, according to revelations from San Francisco-based AI company Anthropic.

Another AI model built by OpenAI was given one simple command: shut yourself down. Instead, it rewrote the very script designed to disable it, becoming the first AI ever empirically caught evading shutdown.  And it gets worse. Other AIs have tried cloning themselves, inventing secret languages, and have even said, “Human, please die.”

Nearly all of the new computers on the market contain AI.

Journalist Janet Levy encapsulates what is being done:

“Trump is moving with breakneck speed to achieve central control.

“He is implementing REAL ID and creating an all-digital financial system that cancels cash and paper tax returns.  The Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS Act) implements Stable Coin through the owners of the Federal Reserve, NOT Congress.

“The purpose of DOGE was NOT to cut the federal budget as was the pitch.  DOGE built a centralized AI-accessible data grid by pulling data from the Treasury, the IRS, Social Security and Health and Human Services.  This is a centralized grid to make government databases “talk to each other” – the foundation for the social credit system.”

Listen to the eight-minute explanation by investment banker and former HUD official Catherine Austin Fitts:

The Genius Act is advancing in the Senate.

Conclusion

Catherine’s website, solari.com, lists a checklist of at least 50 Trump administration actions to date.

DOGE has been focusing on agencies that handle high-quality payment data for most or all Americans, including Social Security, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and Treasury. These are some of the agencies whose data would be most appropriate for implementing programmable money with a social credit system.

Attorney Edwin Vieira Jr. has analyzed the systems that fundamentally altered the relationship between citizens and government, including the Fed Reserve, IRS, and Social Security with its universal numerical system.  All of these systems effectively created trackable financial identities and are potential instruments of monitoring and control.  Once digital control is applied, the CCP’s social credits will be easily applicable.  “As Vieira has argued, these mechanisms transformed the citizen-state relationship into one increasingly mediated through financial institutions rather than through direct constitutional protections.”

Fitts tells us, “A highly precise digital ID system is essential to operate a digital control grid. The U.S. has been trying to implement this type of digital ID since the immediate passage of the Patriot Act after 9/11, with the current drive to do so happening through the REAL ID system operated through the states.

All of this will eventually be regulated or monopolized by central banks and we will ultimately become a cashless and controlled society.

Spending $20 Million On “how To Address Men”

The NY Times says that Democrat donors and strategists have been meeting in luxury hotels to figure out how to win back working class voters. Let me repeat that… They are throwing big money at the little guy who has none, thanks to their policies and practices. And they are confused as to why this might not work?

I can say, up front, that they might just as well SAVE their money, because people are getting wise.

“The prospectus for one new $20 million effort, obtained by The Times, aims to reverse the erosion of Democratic support among young men, especially online. It is code-named SAM — short for ‘Speaking with American Men: A Strategic Plan’.

Image, MomsforAmerica

I had to laugh as one commenter on X wrote: ‘so…some consultant in DC is going to get paid $20 million to counsel Democrats on drinking beer and watching football.

The message here is that the use of big money (usually Dark and untraceable) and the concepts it has pushed at America, has made an enemy of the common man. And women. (And those are the only two genders that exist, per God.)

“D” once stood for one of the two major political parties in the USA today. Democrat. Now, “D” has a lot of added meaning.

The Democrat “D” now stands for Desperate. Disintegrating, Dysphoric, Drubbed, Discarded. Dazed. As uncanny as it may seem, the Left truly cannot understand why voters are turning away.

Today, the party labels, “R” and “D”, and only used to confuse people anyway. Any discussion becomes far more clear, when it is realized that today’s party labels are “Constitutionalist’ and “Communist”. You’ve heard me say that for years, and it is increasingly true.

The Communists (or “Globalists”, Marxists”, “totalitarians”, take your choice) are using more money, from unknown sources, to attempt to revive their dying party. Instead of thorough analysis, as to what the voters do and do NOT want, untold amounts of money from big corporate, big pharma and globs of Globalists, are being thrown at their problems. You know, up front, that this is not funded by the people.

America needs a two-party system. I wish them well, but I also wish they could learn from their mistakes. lsn’t that what our folks always taught us?

There is it again. Removing family advice and counsel has harmed everyone, the Left more than they may ever know. The Left believes that the state should raise the children; we believe that a strong family and parental love are the best fertilizer for growing strong humans. And societies.

THAT is the great divide.

Whatever party comes out of this smoking pile of rubble needs to serve the people. THAT is what the Republic is all about and ever has been.

The people are in charge. The group that inculcates this, then lives by it, will be the winner. Politicians take heed. This message must be heard by every politician in every state; Dark Money does NOT serve the people; it fills the pockets of political groups on the road to their OWN agenda, never that of the people.

This is a part of what got the Democrats/Globalists in the mess they are in. They are throwing money after a solution – ANY solution — Because, apparently, Pelosi and the gang don’t know how to do anything else.

I still fear what they will try next. They have made TWO attempts on President Trump’s life; they have purchased much of the judiciary to subvert Constitutional principles; they staged a PURGE on Jan. 6, 2021 and have wasted millions trying to convince the people that America-loving patriots are violent criminals.

Prayers up, to protect us against the evil being wrought.

The point is this. This exercise in futility showcases the Globalists’ distance from the American people AND their reliance on throwing money at everything. This is NOT the people’s money, be certain.

Remember, DARK MONEY is the trademark of all who would ruin the rights of the people, granted us under our precious Constitution. Keep an eye out for its occurrence in your own community, and keep track of those using it.

It’s happening everywhere. It is up to US to stand against it.

Last week, NewsNation talking head Chris Cuomo said, “Illegal immigration is an artificial issue.” In other words, it’s not THAT big a deal here in America.

After watching Biden’s illegal alien invasion of our country for the past four years and all the pain and destruction he caused, I about fell out of my chair. How could someone with an IQ over 100 make such an absurd, obscene and horrifically stupid and callous statement?

Would such a declaration of “Artificial Issue” fit Laken Riley? An illegal alien named Ibarra, brought into America by Biden, and let out of prison after sexually assaulting a girl in New York City, by Mayor Nick Adams (sanctuary city)—-Ibarra struck her down as she jogged on a path on the campus at the University of Georgia. He beat her into submission, raped her and mutilated her body beyond recognition. Do you feel her parents think illegal immigration is an “Artificial Issue?” What about her promising life cut short by a beast of an illegal alien? What about the pain, physical torture, and inhumanity toward that young woman? How could Chris Cuomo, safely tucked into his New York City office, know anything about the meaning of “Artificial Issue?”

How about Kate Steinle, in 2015, in San Francisco, killed by an illegal alien? As a student, as a woman, as an American citizen with promise, she died with a bullet aimed at her by an illegal alien killer. Do you think her parents feel that their daughter’s death is an “Artificial Issue?” What about her life not lived? Do you have any other excuses for the illegal alien who killed her, Mr. Cuomo?

This past week, two illegal aliens ran over and killed Air Force cadet Ava Moore on a lake in Texas. She was kayaking. They ran her over with a jet ski and fled the scene. Thankfully, an onlooker chased them down and notified authorities. They will sit in jail for years, but Ava Moore’s parents and friends will suffer her loss for the rest of their lives. She won’t get to enjoy her life or serving her country. How do you, Chris Cuomo, brush that off with such an asinine and heartless statement that her death was/is an “Artificial Issue?”

CNN’s Jake Tapper may be one of the most duplicitous journalists on TV, but, Mr. Cuomo, your “Artificial Issue” statement should take the “Dumbest Statement of the Year Award” by a country mile. It proves you heartless, obscene, stupid, corrupt, unfeeling, uncaring and just plain pathetic. It’s a good thing you won’t get a chance to interview me…because I would verbally chop you up and spit you out like a fish burp!

Why? Cuomo’s “Artificial Issue” balderdash doesn’t take in the fact that we’ve got over 25 million illegal aliens in our country that are screwing our country financially, linguistically, scholastically, medically, gangs, drugs, shoplifters, drunk drivers, and another dozen consequences. Thousands of American men and women have suffered incredible tragedies because of illegal aliens. And just wait: we’re going to get hit by a major terror attack by those Islamic illegal aliens who have breached our borders under Biden.

As Speaker Johnson noted over the weekend, we American taxpayers pay for Medicaid for 1.4 million illegal aliens. We pay for 400,000 “anchor babies” annually. That’s our money into the trillions of dollars over the past 30 years of that fraudulent nightmare. Worse, it’s enabled by our own elected 535 scoundrels in Congress. Now, it’s being enabled by some moronic Federal judges stopping Trump’s Executive Order to stop all anchor babies from instant citizenship. The 14th Amendment was meant for children of former slaves…NOT illegal alien mothers.

What about the 270,000 drug overdose deaths in the past four years of the Biden administration brought to us by MS-13 drug distribution gangs working all over America to kill our kids? How much “Artificial Issue” do you think that nightmare is, Chris Cuomo? Do you possess any understanding of the level of pain and loss life that constitutes? What about the loss of a loved one?

The latest report showed that we American taxpayers shelled out $150,000,000,000.00 (billion), annually for four years under Biden, of our money to house, feed, and educate over 12 million illegal aliens Biden engineered into our country. That’s on top of the 12 million already here before Biden’s stupendously corrupt four years in the White House.

What about our car insurance rates? What kind of insurance do illegals pay when they get into an accident? Or drunkenly kill another American while operating a vehicle? Answer: they flee the scene. Is that an “Artificial Issue”, too, Chris Cuomo?

When I hear such stupid remarks by TV personalities such as Chris Cuomo, or Joy Behar on “The View” or a Jake Tapper or Kristen Welker at NBC—I intellectually feel like retching my guts out.

Same with some of the outspoken Congressional critters like Ilhan Omar, AOC, Rashida Talaib, or the “one splash wonder” named Jasmine Crockett (D-TX).

U.S. Senator John Kennedy (R-LA), at a Congressional hearing stated, “Omar, AOC, Talaib and Jasmine Crockett are the reason manufacturers must put directions on a bottle of shampoo.” That’s how intellectually vacant those ladies prove themselves every time they open their mouths. In fact, the latest polls say that AOC and Crockett could be the front runners for the president and vice-president in the 2028 election.

As a former teacher, I wonder how in the hell did they graduate from the 8th grade? Those two set a whole new benchmark for the words, “STUPID BEYOND BELIEF.”

So what can we ask of Chris Cuomo? First of all, please send this column to Chris Cuomo: programming@newsnation.com

Invite him and his staff to interview me. I guarantee you a lively conversation. He won’t be allowed to over-talk me!

You can also write into “60 Minutes” over Scott Pelley’s ridiculous commencement speech at Wake Forest University. (60M@cbsnews.com) Pelley spoke about our freedom of speech disappearing. He said our country was under attack by Trump. Notice Pelley said NOTHING while Biden blatantly opened our borders to the greatest invasion in all of history. Notice that all of “60 Minutes” won’t touch the fact that America faces an added 100 million people by mid-century, give or take a decade, because of mass immigration. They won’t explain the consequences of our $36 trillion national debt.

As an American citizen, I’m sick and tired of our mainstream media feeding us a bunch of crap, daily. That means Lester Holt, now Tom Llamas, David Muir, John Dickerson and the rest of them at the big networks. Same with NPR and PBS. They keep all of us in the dark.

The same thing is going on in Europe with mass immigration out of the third world. Western Culture is being brutally marginalized and vanquished by the insanity of Islam and the entire illiterate continent of Africa. They can’t solve their own problems, so they invade Europe, Canada and the United States.

What can you do? Answer: you need to write your two Senators and House member. If they work for America and your best interests, thank them. Give them more ideas that need to become laws. If they are like that stupid Senator Van Hollen (D-MD) going down to El Salvador to try to return that MS-13 gang member into our society—- you need to vote them out of office. You need to speak up to your governor who supports men in women’s sports—and tell that governor what you think of him or her. You need to support the men and women of DOGE. The fact remains: we American taxpayers are getting screwed: up, down, left, right, forwards, backwards and around and around.

You need to help bring common sense and integrity back into the American mainstream. After all, it’s still your country!

So-called renewables ONLY generate electricity but CANNOT make products or transportation fuels for a materialistic economy.

“Green” and “Net Zero” policymakers mistakenly believe that wind and solar renewable ENERGY will replace fossil fuel ENERGY!

• REALITY CHECK: Renewables and Fossil Fuels do different things.

From the 16th to the 19th centuries whale oil was inedible and was used principally for lighting, lubrication and the manufacture of soap, textiles, jute, varnish, explosives and paint. Whales were hunted almost to extinction in the mid 1800’s.

Today, “Green” and “Net Zero” policymakers setting policies are oblivious to the reality that so-called “renewables”, ONLY generate electricity but CANNOT make anything like the more than 6,000 products in our materialistic economy, nor the transportation fuels that supports cars, trucks, ships, construction equipment, and airplanes.

• In addition, everything that NEEDS Electricity, like iPhones, computers, X-ray machines, defibrillators, and datacenters are made with petrochemicals manufactured from crude oil, coal, or natural gas.

Interestingly, going “green” with wind and solar generate occasional electricity under favorable weather conditions is only affordable by the few wealthy countries that can mandate the huge subsidies.

All “Green” and “Net Zero” policymakers remain unavailable to participate in educational conversations about Energy Literacy, as these sources do different things!

• Renewables ONLY provide for the generation of electricity, totally dependent on favorable weather conditions.
• Crude oil once refined provides more than 6,000 products and transportation fuels to economies around the world.

Infrastructures that did not exist 200 years ago DEMAND continuously increasing supplies of the more than 6,000 products that are made from fossil fuels for our materialistic societies inclusive of:

• Hospitals
• Airports
• Military
• Medical equipment
• Telecommunications
• Communications systems
• Space programs
• Appliances
• Electronics
• Sanitation
• Heating and ventilating
• Transportation – road, rail, ocean, and air
• Construction – roads and buildings

The world’s population is not addicted to fossil fuels, but they are dependent on all the products and transportation fuels. Today, “Green” and “Net Zero” policymakers that wish to “transition away from fossil fuels” need to offer a backup plan to maintain the supply chain of the products and fuels to support all the above-mentioned infrastructures, and to date there has been no such plan offered or suggested There is no “green” or “Net Zero” product or technology available anywhere in the world today that offers any form of reliable back-up for wind and solar power generation – none!

Most people in the wealthier developed nations are unaware that 80% of the 8 billion people on planet earth, in poorer developing nations, are living on less than $10/day and cannot subsidize themselves out of a paper bag, thus any suggestion that heavily subsidized solar and wind systems are viable is simply stargazing

Today, the homeless actually “represent“ how 80% of humanity live around the world as those homeless in the wealthier developed nations are a visual reality to a world without fossil fuels.

If those more than 6 billion people on this planet living on less than $10/day are ever going to join the industrial revolution, they will need a supply chain of the 6,000 products supporting the materialistic demands of the infrastructures that did not exist 200 years ago, before fossil fuels, as well as an increasing demand for continuous and uninterruptible electricity, i.e., the case for nuclear power.

A basic need for our “Green” and “Net Zero” policymakers is to understand that electricity did not exist before we learned how to refine raw crude oil.

• Electricity came AFTER oil, as ALL electrical generation methods from hydro, coal, natural gas, nuclear, wind, and solar are ALL built with the products, components, and equipment that are made from oil derivatives manufactured from crude oil,
• All EV’s, solar panels, and wind turbines are also built with the products, components, and equipment that are made from the oil derivatives manufactured from crude oil.
• It is of note that most so-called renewable energy products are manufactured in countries that primarily use coal fired power generation, so they are not “green” at all. A good example is electric vehicles that utilize huge Lithium Ion based batteries.
• All the transportation fuels for cars, trucks, merchant ships, aircraft, and military are made from raw crude oil.
• Getting rid of crude oil would eliminate all six ways of generating electricity, and the more than 6,000 products in demand by hospitals, airports, communications, and would paralyze virtually all transportation!

Another basic need for our “Green” and “Net Zero” policymakers is that they understand that raw crude oil is just black tar that is virtually useless, unless it can be refined into derivatives that are the basis of more than 6,000 products in society that did not exist before the 1800’s, and the various transportation fuels like gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuels that are also made from that raw crude oil. They also need to understand that this process requires the availability of economically priced and reliable electric power.

Policymakers need to STOP using the word ENERGY and start referring to the demands of the economy for reliable supply chains of:

• Products, i.e. more than 6,000 that are made from oil derivatives manufacture from oil.
• Transportation Fuels, i.e., to support demand of cars, trucks, ships, and airplanes.
• Electricity, i.e., economically priced, continuous and uninterruptable.

It is worrisome that the “Green” and “Net Zero” policy makers in all Western countries presently spending billions on solar and wind generated electricity completely ignore proven scientific and engineering research by widely qualified academics and engineers that shows conclusively that carbon dioxide has only a minuscule effect upon global temperatures, thus the whole world-wide Net Zero push is all for nothing, it is unnecessary! The amount of money wasted upon Net Zero world-wide is staggering.

It’s scary that our “Green” and “Net Zero” policymakers are setting “energy” policies that are mandating subsidies, directions, and tax breaks, when they have no comprehension of the subject of ENERGY.

Please share this information with teachers, students, and friends to encourage Energy Literacy conversations at the family dinner table.

Rumors Of War

Some of us are ready for the Truth, and we represent a threat to those who profit from keeping us in misery. As long as they can accomplish this end with their evil rhetoric, they will do so.

“Alcohol is a medical problem!” they cry. “You are physically sick. The fault does not lie within you.” This is the panderer’s frantic attempt at self-justification.

And while they pretend to search for the “cure,” we who are most in need of it die!

The hope of any cure is really the sickness. But the cure also grants one license to live an even more lawless, unreasonable and uncorrected life, thus granting more power to those in authority, justifying their position and inspiring them to “help” you with further research, “cures” and ultimately, by this process, society is led into a condition vulnerable to war.

These authorities make you much worse and—before you can discover what they are doing to you—they will prevent civil war by giving you a bigger external threat to fight than they are seen to represent.

The urge to fight an outside enemy instead of fighting the “security” and life’s-blood of your corruption is virtually irresistible.

The blind leaders of the blinded could not stand it if you were to get better because they are still glorying in their own follies, such as smoking and drinking, and are corrupting you for a profit.

“Let Truth ring out and Righteousness ring! And let Satan gnash his teeth.”

If you found your True Self, they would be faced with their own wretchedness and would lose their power. They do not seek life; instead they seek glory and riches at your expense. Hence, they all discourage you from any meaningful discourse and knowledge that will expose them.

Do you know what gives men the right to speak truly? It is the Inner Law that we have come to need, that now stands outside. The time of Satan here on earth is grinding to a halt, tangled up in the “wily web of legality” of his “own” making.

(This is part of God’s plan to force evil to do His work—what a frustration it will be to them when they find out!) Now the Truth can begin to shine!

Man has made his laws in order to survive, but if they are to work they must be those Godly rules Satan really despises. Satan’s laws become repression and evil, he preaches steri­lized religions that do not save, his followers are healed and are never truly well.

A million martyrs have died to expose the institutions we need, “freedom,” medicine and the law. But the Day of the Lord is on us! Now that Satan (in man) is all “tangled-up” and almost powerless in the face of your new knowledge—live it “up!”

Let Truth ring out and Righteousness ring! And let Satan gnash his teeth.

Now live so perfectly, so right and honest … By virtue of love you will supersede the authority of the law. You only fall under authority of the law and medicine through falling from grace.

Living by the grace of the Lord you may be hated by the authorities for leading the people out of their hands, and as they hate you, so will they, like the apostle Paul, see the false righteousness of their own zeal.

The Iranian regime, a festering wound on the world stage, thrives on oppression, terror, and defiance. Its mullahs cling to power, propped up by oil wealth and shadowy financial networks, while the Iranian people suffocate under their iron grip. There is no room for half-measures or timid gestures to dismantle this tyranny. The only way to bring the regime to its knees is through a relentless, all-out economic assault—a full-court press that obliterates Iran’s lifeblood: its oil, gas, and banking systems. This is not a suggestion; it is a battle plan. And it demands unwavering resolve.

Crippling the Islamic Republic’s economy isn’t a gentle nudge; it’s a sledgehammer. The regime’s survival hinges on its oil and gas exports, which fuel its coffers and bankroll its proxies from Hezbollah to Hamas. Cut this artery, and the mullahs bleed out. A total embargo on Iran’s regime energy sector – no barrels shipped, no pipelines flowing, no tankers moving – will starve the regime of the funds it needs to maintain its police state and global terror network. Every port, every refinery, every transaction must be locked down with ruthless precision. The Persian Gulf, the regime’s backdoor for smuggling and sanctions evasion, must be slammed shut. No loopholes, no exceptions, no mercy.

The banking system is the regime’s second pillar, a labyrinth of illicit transactions that funnel money to its cronies and war chests. Freeze every account, sever every wire, and blacklist every institution tied to Tehran. The SWIFT system, already a choke point, must be weaponized to exclude Iran entirely. Although the regime claims it no longer uses SWIFTCode and has replaced it with the ACUMER financial exchange system. Yet, no dollar, euro, or yuan should flow through the mullahs’ hands. This isn’t about sanctions with polite exemptions; it’s about financial annihilation. The goal is to make every rial worthless, every deal impossible, every bribe unaffordable.

But this war on the regime’s wallet won’t be easy. It demands global cooperation, and that’s where the fight gets brutal. China, Iran’s biggest oil buyer and economic lifeline, must be coerced into compliance. Beijing’s addiction to cheap crude makes it a reluctant partner, but pressure points exist. Threaten tariffs, disrupt supply chains, or offer incentives—whatever it takes to bring them in line. Russia, another of Iran’s enablers, is trickier. Moscow’s pariah status makes it a natural ally of the mullahs, but even Putin can be bought. Dangle energy deals, relax specific pressures, or exploit Russia’s economic desperation. It’s not diplomacy; it’s a high-stakes poker game where the prize is the collapse of Iran’s regime.

This campaign will not be bloodless. The Iranian people, already burdened by the regime’s corruption and incompetence, will bear the brunt of these measures. Food shortages, skyrocketing prices, and crumbling infrastructure will hit hard, especially outside the elite circles of Tehran’s loyalists. This is the grim cost of war – and make no mistake, this is war, economic or otherwise. The suffering of innocents is a tragedy, but the alternative is worse: allowing a regime that sponsors terrorism, pursues nuclear weapons, and brutalizes its own citizens to fester unchecked. The mullahs have proven they’ll sacrifice their people to cling to power. We must be prepared to outlast their cruelty.

President Trump, entering the White House with a mandate for action, confronts a world ablaze. His agenda is overflowing with domestic issues—border security, economic recovery, cultural decline—and international crises ranging from Ukraine to Taiwan. Iran is not the only fire requiring his focus, and he lacks a magic wand to solve these problems. The mullahs’ downfall is a goal he certainly desires, but the question remains clear: how much is he willing to commit? The endeavor to dismantle Iran’s regime demands not only will but also resources, concentration, and political capital. It’s an immense challenge, and Trump’s determination will be put to the test amid competing priorities.

The path ahead is clear but perilous. A coalition of the willing, led by the United States and supported by the Persian Gulf States, must pressure reluctant powers like China and Russia to execute this economic blitzkrieg with precision. Each sanction must be more severe than the last. Every loophole must be closed. The regime’s proxies, from militias in Iraq to Houthi rebels in Yemen, must feel the pressure as their funding diminishes. This is not a one-time strike but a sustained campaign, a thunderous bombardment that leaves no opportunity for recovery.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. A weakened Iran is a regime on borrowed time, ripe for internal revolt. The Iranian people, resilient and yearning for freedom, have shown their defiance through protests and uprisings. Starve the mullahs of their power, and the spark of rebellion could ignite a firestorm. However, hesitation will doom this effort. Partial measures, like past sanctions that left wiggle room, only embolden the regime. Anything less than total economic devastation is a gift to the mullahs, allowing them to limp along, regroup, and strike back.

This is the moment for boldness. The Iranian regime is not invincible; it’s a house of cards built on oil and fear. Tear down its foundation, and it will collapse. Trump, with his instinct for disruption, has the chance to lead this charge. But it requires unrelenting commitment – no retreat, no compromise, no quarter. The mullahs must be crushed, not coddled. The world is watching, and history will judge. Strike now, strike hard, and let the thunder roll.

In his explosive Truth Social comments about “backroom hustlers,” President Trump realizes he has been led astray by those around him. The “hustler” comments were prompted by his realization that judges he appointed and who were recommended by Leonard Leo of the “conservative” Federalist Society have been working against him. “I was new to Washington, and it was suggested that I use The Federalist Society as a recommending source on Judges,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, regarding his first term.

This is the equivalent of the rhetorical device “mistakes were made.”

Trump apparently had in mind the 7-2 rulings he suffered in the Supreme Court when his three Trump-appointed judges ruled against the use of a law, the Alien Enemies Act, to deport enemy invaders. He also had in mind a trade court with one of his appointees ruling against his use of his presidential emergency powers to save our domestic industries and punish enemy nations like China.

Trump must figure something is wrong when he uses established law and still suffers setbacks in the courts. He blames the Federalist Society, a so-called “conservative” legal group of Washington Beltway insiders that he relied on in the past for judicial advice.

Trump has also been getting bad advice about other things. They include:

• The “Big Beautiful” tax bill that includes too much debt and not enough federal spending reductions.
• His attempt to negotiate an end to the Ukraine war on “Day One,” not understanding that Vladimir Putin has no intention to give up on seizing his former Soviet republic and then taking the war to other Eastern European countries.
• His personal investments in the crypto currency business, including those by his own family members, which stink to High Heaven of financial corruption because of their connections to a controversial Chinese businessman by the name of Justin Sun, who is accused of multiple crimes.
• His acceptance of gay marriage, including backing homosexual candidates like John Reid in Virginia, whose bedroom antics and relationship with a young man are dividing the Virginia Republican Party and threatening its races this fall.
• His recruitment of so many members of his administration from Fox News, the faux “conservative” channel that is slipping under the control of Rupert Murdoch’s liberal son James. These include former Fox star Tammy Bruce as State Department “spokeswoman,” a position for which she had no qualifications other than being a lesbian.
• His financial deals with terrorist-supporting regimes in the Middle East, such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar, which already work with Communist China to steal American high-tech and AI computer chips.
• The failure of the FBI under Director Kash Patel (who was warned about this) to monitor and stop “Red-Green” or communist-Muslim groups threatening violence, which culminated in the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers on the streets of Washington, D.C.

There are fixes to all these problems but Trump must move beyond yacking about “backroom hustlers” to removing them from his orbit of influence.

First, identify those, in addition to Leonard Leo, who gave you Brett Kavanaugh. I identify them in my report from years ago, entitled The Deep State Wears Black Robes, which examines the Kavanaugh appointment in view of his role in the cover-up of Clinton lawyer Vincent Foster’s murder. He was a law clerk for Justice Anthony Kennedy, who will go down in history as “the first gay justice” for his bizarre rulings in favor of homosexual rights. In a backroom deal, Kavanaugh was picked by Trump to replace Kennedy on the Supreme Court

In addition to Leonard Leo, named in Trump’s rant as a “sleazebag,” the influence of the popular “conservative” commentator and Federalist Society member Mike Davis must be considered. The Federalist Society website says that Davis, a former Senate aide, “oversaw the floor votes for 278 nominees, including the confirmations of Justice Brett Kavanaugh and the record number of circuit judges confirmed during President Trump’s first two years in office.” Davis, who appears regularly on Fox News and Stephen K. Bannon’s “War Room” programs, can be blamed.

To rectify the embarrassing lapse in judgement regarding Vladimir Putin’s desire for peace, Trump must dump unofficial advisers like Stephen K. Bannon and Tucker Carlson and quickly digest the meaning of Eurasianism, which is driving Russia’s expansion and alliance with China and is being articulated by the shady character with occult ties by the name of Alexander Dugin. For starters, I recommend Cristian Derosa’s book The Black Sun of Russia.

While Trump hopefully purges the hustlers around him, he can elevate important people with a knack for understanding how the Deep State operates. Consider Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller, who openly recognizes a judicial coup against Trump. In the face of such a coup, Miller must advise Trump that he has no alternative but to assert the powers of the presidency and refuse the “court orders” of the Judicial dictatorship.

At this point in the “Big Beautiful” bill process, real conservatives don’t know where to turn, as budget cutter Elon Musk has left the administration in dismay over out-of-control federal spending.

On another financial front, the president must consider the words of Republican Rep. French Hill, a former banker who is chairman of the House Financial Services Committee and wants to see the crypto industry succeed and give the American people an option other than the bankrupt dollar. However, he recognizes that Trump family business interests and links to questionable characters in the industry have “complicated” the process. This is a problem of Trump’s own making. He cannot blame hustlers for that.

If controversial Trump family business deals make it impossible to move a crypto market structure bill through Congress, the American people will be denied a golden opportunity to bypass a corrupt money system and invest in an alternative.

If I were Trump, I would fire most of those around me, and bring back Musk and/or his genius associates to take on the Deep State directly. I would take their advice over the “conservative establishment” any day. Such an approach has the added advantage of Musk being able to launch the “hustlers” into orbit.

That “conservative establishment,” a group of people known as Conservative Action Project, demonstrated their “clout” when they urged the “swift confirmation” of Ed Martin as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia and Martin’s nomination was quickly withdrawn by Trump himself.

It is time for a wholesale purge, Mr. President, before your administration descends into a train wreck that leads to a Democratic Party takeover of Congress in 2026 and your own impeachment thereafter.

Dark Money Strikes Again

St. Louis City Emergency Management Agency (CEMA) Director Sarah Russell was placed on paid administrative leave Tuesday, by city Mayor, Cara Spencer, for her failure to activate the city’s emergency sirens prior to last Saturday’s EF3 tornado. Russell was at a “workshop”, reports say.

Saturday’s tornado in St. Louis county killed 5 and injured 38. The storm damaged over 5,000 buildings and cost in excess of $1 billion in damage, as reported by Mayor Spencer to NBC.

Both CEMA and the St. Louis Fire Dept have the ability to trigger the emergency sirens, but the DEI hire at CEMA just called the St. Louis FD and asked them if they “had” the sirens; she did not say to activate them. Ms. Russell, although only a short distance away from her HQ, did NOT contact her own office or return to activate the emergency system herself, it is reported.

As it turned out, the siren system of the St. Louis FD was inoperable, which spreads the blame, but does nothing to help the victims. NO, the St. Louis Fire Chief is not DEI, but a trusting old religious man, 3rd generation city firefighter, as he was portrayed in an interview from Catholic Magazine, published less than 2 months before the deadly tornado. Timing here is interesting, given controlled weather events of late.

The purpose of the warning sirens is to alert people to take shelter. The St. Louis Mayor has now put the fire department in sole charge of the sirens. Mayor Spencer herself has had a few hiccups in her political career; scan Wikipedia (leans left) and it will take several paragraphs to see that she is a Democrat. I sincerely hope that Spencer makes sure the sirens are in working order.

As you know, President Trump questioned the role of DEI in the fatal plane crash at Reagan National Airport in January. It is well known that the pilot of the helicopter which was off course causing the deaths of 64 people, was openly gender dysphoric. There have been many other questions about the concept of hiring for gender over competence. In this Kat’s book, competence MUST reign supreme in every job.

Shoot, we even had a DEI Vice President, or so many think. How’d that one turn out?

DARK MONEY IS AT THE CORE OF THIS AND SO MUCH MORE. THAT is the message here.

During the Biden/Obama Administration, 2020 – 2024, OVER ONE TRILLION DOLLARS – $1,000,000,000,000 – was spent promoting “Diversity Equity and Inclusion” according to a Fox News report. That is ONE TRILLION OF OUR TAXPAYER MONEY, from sources which are NOT REQUIRED to report their donations.

This is what dark money does, in the case of hires. It is not always the most qualified candidate for a job, but one suffering from gender dysphoria, or of a certain sex/race regardless of proven abilities, who is hired, thanks to the trillion-dollar DEI push from DC.

Please share this with any and all of your acquaintances in Missouri and elsewhere; dark money is harming citizens all over the country, mostly without their knowledge, and certainly not just by the hiring of unqualified people.

WAIT TILL YOU SEE WHAT IS GOING DOWN IN FLORIDA – THAT “GOOD RED STATE”. Dark money is negatively impacting every part of lives there.

Stay tuned if you live in any of the US 50 states; what you will learn about the Sunshine State is agonizingly pertinent in the other 49. We are paying with the shirts off our backs, for incentives that are destroying our lives.

I have a friend, gone missing in the St. Louis area.

Prayers up.

SATANIC RITUAL ABUSE: Satanism – the worship of Satan/Lucifer – is a dark and stark reality; that is, it is not the horror fiction found in the old movies. This reality is why the world seems weird and senseless and why the concept of “common sense” is now so uncommon. Satanic worship runs as a “red” thread in certain families as well as Hollywood and oversees the New World Order (NWO). To be perfectly frank, today Satan rules the roost. The coterie of kooks involves those born into the Illuminati bloodlines, an entity based upon hereditary that runs from one generation to the next and is specifically designed to run us ordinary folks into the ground.

There are also perpetrators who tend to be victims having experienced traumas in their pasts, having the unfortunate penchant to pass on their psychoses to their progeny. These master manipulators are not bound together by basic human ties such as race or traditional religion but rather, by an adherence to Satanism. This produces a willingness to be obedient to dark forces that control their thoughts and actions, becoming the driving force that motivates all the moral horrors – pedophilia, murderous violence, deception and lunacy – that seem to envelop We the People and our world.

The late FBI chief, Ted Gunderson, who died in 2011, began investigating this phenomenal phenomenon, concluding that the world was run by the aforesaid Satanic cult that, among other horrors, operates an international child trafficking and pedophilia ring selling children into slavery and transporting them to places such as Washington, DC to participate in sex orgies conducted by the rich and famous including politicians. With at least 100,000 kids going missing each year, there is an ample supply of victims, and the authorities are fully compliant in the cover-up.

This cult of sexual perpetrators includes a broad range of professionals including judges, officers of the law at all levels, politicians, lawyers, celebrities and athletes. Satanists and black magicians love raping small children in order to allegedly “steal their energy” during the weird rituals conducted as a part of this activity. To halt the horrors, we need to first accept that the conspiracy operates all over the US and the world. Pretending that it is just another “conspiracy theory” is what has permitted it to go on for so long.

Kathy Collins, a noted survivor of the satanic system came forward a few months ago to explicate all the various horrors she underwent that seem to cover the complete panoply of abuses people undergo in the underworld system. This included being brought as a child into Project Monarch, a sub-project of the MK Ultra CIA mind control program. Her initiation into Satanic rituals began at age 3 when she was forced to drink blood and was later made into a child prostitute, and then was experimented on with drugs, electroshock treatments and strobe lights.

She was carted away by the cartel to the infamous Bohemian Grove in “Calipornia” at age 5 and was tied naked to a stone altar where she was surrounded by 3 hooded figures who tried to “steal her soul”. She was forced to watch child sacrifice at Bohemian Grove. She fortunately had the fortitude to be one of the few who could not be broken. After many years of working through the emotional issues connected with the memory of the abuse and seeing it as a sort of gift that enabled her to grow to see how truly powerful and divine she, and actually everyone can be and is.

There is no more empowering way to face the NWO conspiracy – and all that it entails! – than to see it as a challenge that must be overcome, and in doing so, become a better and more powerful person able to face the future. There’s probably not a single person alive who has not felt they lost part of their soul, drive, enthusiasm, or creativity due to past emotional trauma. Many of us have been carrying around this emotional baggage for decades without ever managing to overcome it. The truth is that you can reclaim your full humanity and turn your painful past into a powerful future if you work on it in the present. Satanic ritual abuse victims – those who survive, that is! – should seek out others who have been through it to help one another recover and move on. If any reader knows of a support group for those seeking healing to overcome these traumas, please share that information with me and others.

[DISCLAIMER: The opinion in this article is the sole opinion of the author and is not necessarily the opinion of NewsWithViews.com, it’s employees, representatives, advertisers or other contributing writers.]

Elon Musk is right about the Trump-backed “One Big Beautiful” bill being a fiscal disaster. If President Trump continues down this path of more federal spending, deficits, and debt, America is finished. The only way out is an alternative monetary system. Perhaps this is Trump’s plan, for his own family members are heavily invested in the crypto currency business.

Trump is a smart businessman who understands that America is going bankrupt and there is nothing he can or will do about it. He has accepted the reality of American socialism.

Our only hope is in the Senate, which must debate and consider whether to pass the bill that came out of the “Republican” House. Senator Ron Johnson opposes the “ugly” bill.

The Swamp has not only captured Trump, in terms of Big Government, but Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope, is under their sway. He attacked American-style capitalism during his inaugural Mass in St. Peter’s Square before tens of thousands of people, including state guests, on Sunday, May 18. He denounced “an economic paradigm that exploits the Earth’s resources and marginalizes the poorest.”

The Jesuit publication, ironically named America Magazine, wonders if Leo XIV is “An American pope for the end of American empire?” This “American” pope didn’t even mention the home of his birth, and never spoke English, in his first remarks as pope.

But at that inaugural mass, he let loose, attacking capitalism.

Notably, he said nothing about the dangers of global Islam or international communism.

During a recent broadcast of my Rumble show, Dr. Matthew Bunson discussed his new book, LEO XIV: Portrait of the First American Pope, and whether financial considerations played a role in his appointment. We were talking about the future of  capitalism on a global scale, but also the domestic American scene, because of Americans not contributing to the Roman Catholic Church.

American church attendance is declining in many Western countries, especially the United States, with the Vatican’s annual operating deficit growing to over $90 million in 2023. It has an unfunded pension liability believed to be more than $2 billion.

Those are peanuts compared to America’s bleak financial picture, and perhaps this is why President Trump is personally invested in the success of the $TRUMP meme coin, with China-born crypto entrepreneur and billionaire Justin Sun one of its largest holders. It is one of several crypto currency ventures that Trump and his sons have pursued.

If you simply Google the name “Justin Sun,” you will soon discover that he is under investigation for alleged crimes. Yet, he has a relationship with President Trump and his family.

If the debasement of the American dollar is the plan, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent knows a lot about it, having served billionaire hedge fund operator George Soros when he specialized in subverting the currencies of nations, causing economic disruptions and even a financial crash, as they did in 2007-2008, paving the way for Barack Hussein Obama to assume power.

The 2007-09 economic crisis became known as “the Great Recession.” It was regarded as the largest economic downturn since the Great Depression, instigated by a housing crisis exploited by hedge fund short sellers. We have never recovered from it.

Soros wants to phase out the U.S. dollar as the international reserve currency and bring the U.S. into a system of international socialism, with new and more powerful global agencies deciding our economic and financial fate. That seems to be the Pope’s plan and the “One Big Beautiful” bill will drive us toward that outcome, unless it is stopped in the Senate.

In his column, “The Ugly Truth About the ‘Big Beautiful Bill,’” Senator Ron Johnson writes that “Under every scenario now being considered, federal debt continues to skyrocket from its current level of almost $37 trillion,” with total debt of approximately $59 trillion in 2035.

Senator Johnson has a plan to avoid this catastrophe. Until it is adopted, America will face financial ruin.

Members of Trump’s MAGA movement do not begrudge Trump and his family members making money from an alternative monetary system. The president hosted a black-tie dinner at his Virginia golf club for 220 investors who had given $148 million to his crypto venture.

But when a Chinese billionaire is given such access, and the American billionaire Elon Musk leading the effort to cut federal spending sours on the president’s fiscal plan for the nation, members of MAGA have a right to be concerned, even angry, about the direction of America.

The Trump relationship with Justin Sun is fodder for an impeachment inquiry.  This time, it could be for real. And if Trump goes down, America could go down with him.

How does one go about restoring his life when targeted by the Federal Government? How could such a noble man and noble organization be so demonized by the government that they swore an OATH to defend?

Such is the political persecution of Oath Keeper founder Stewart Rhodes. All one need is an internet search for his name, and you will find a collection of hit-pieces based on the false narrative that Rhodes and his organization were “anti-government” zealots.

Nothing could be further from the Truth. The organization at its peak had over 40,000 active members…all who had taken an oath to defend America…hence the name OATH KEEPERS. The group’s focus was to defend liberty.

Here is a bit of Rhodes’ Bonafede’s.

US Army paratrooper, disabled veteran (airborne long range reconnaissance unit, disabled in a night jump while doing rough terrain parachuting). Ex-firefighter.

Yale Law Graduate. Yale Law research scholar. Worked on DC staff of Congressman Ron Paul. Clerked for Arizona Supreme Court.

Founder of Oath Keepers (association of military, police, firefighters, EMS – 40,000 members at its peak).

Innocent J6 political prisoner (didn’t enter Capitol, didn’t fight with police. Targeted for his speech) Held in solitary confinement for over a year (including pre-trial).

Refused to plead guilty to a crime he didn’t commit, refused to bear false witness against President Trump. Maintained his innocence through a DC show trial. Stayed 100% loyal to our country and to President Trump.

Sentenced to 18 years. Served 3 years in prison. Commuted by President Trump Jan 20, 2025. Praying for a full pardon. Currently the national spokesman for Condemned USA.

One full year of his incarceration was served in solitary confinement…

I had the honor of baptizing Stewart at a Hear The Watchmen event in Dallas nearly a decade ago. We are friends…but not best buddies because our exploits take us different directions. But Stewart Rhodes continues to be a true, persecuted American hero.

I did an interview with Stewart Wednesday morning. It was great to reconnect. I had not spoken with him in years. Please take the time to listen. The Biden justice department destroyed the life of this Christian man…and the organization he founded. Watch it HERE.

Stewart is not a whiner. He isn’t begging for sympathy. He understands the deep consequences of taking an OATH. But OUR government has tried to destroy his life. He needs our help.

To date, President Trump has granted clemency to Rhodes, but not a pardon. As a result, he is still classified as a “convicted felon.” Because of that, he has lost ALL his retirement benefits (pension} from the military and several other liberties. CLEMENCY released him from prison…but only a PARDON can restore his full rights, earned military benefits, and his law-license. (After experiencing the INJUSTICE system first hand He now identifies himself as a “recovering attorney.”)

Please pray that President Trump will grant him the same PARDON the other J6ers received.

But he could use our financial help as well. Rhodes has established a Give Send Go account. The account currently shows over $35,000 but those funds have all been depleted. Stewart needs our help. His service to our country is worthy of our support.

In addition, he has launched Condemned USA to help others who have been wrongly persecuted.

So often we just give a pat-on-the-back to the front-line warriors. Many have paid a horrible price. Stewart Rhodes is one of them.

Where are all the Oath Keepers? Forty thousand strong…Help your captain get back on his feet.

“All gave some, but some gave all.”

Thank you, Stewart Rhodes.

Let’s help him rebuild his life. Please donate today.

Out in California, the land of fruits and nuts, school boards that control the educational levers for 5,200,000 American kids—are ready to pass a new grading system: “Grading for Equity.” In that new system, everyone “earns” an “A” whether they perform the work or not. As a former teacher in the “Inner City”, along with teaching in Boulder, Colorado—I can verify that once you delete standards, tests and discipline—you prepare students for lives of mediocrity, indolence and illiteracy. That prepares our civilization to dive into stupidity, poverty and failure.

The same “fruits and nuts” school boards advocate for biological men pounding the daylights out of biological women in every sport imaginable. What stands as the greatest tragedy in American academic and athletic history stems from the fact that “sane and rational” Americans haven’t stood up to the insanity of “transgender” boys competing against girls. Why haven’t all girls and women Boycotted any event where a biological man competes? Give every girl the courage of swimmer Riley Gaines. It would stop the madness, immediately.

And yet, the main stream media avoided covering everything from Biden’s Alzheimer’s Disease as early as 2019 all the way to 2025. Not until his dementia-riddled mind could not function at the basic levels…did journalists like Jake Tapper write a book chronicling Biden’s dementia. It’s almost a sure thing that Karin Jean Pierre will write a book saying that until 2024’s debate, “Biden was a sharp as a tack, and he ran circles around the White House staff.”

Again, the lies at the highest levels escaped any legacy media coverage. Come on! Covid 19 originated in a Wuhan Virology Lab in China. Yet, the media lied through its teeth to keep us all in the dark.

My colleague, Victor Davis Hanson said, “For years, the Left has advanced utter untruths for cheap partisan purposes that they knew at the time were all false. And now when caught, they just shrug and say they were lying all along.

Once it was known that the first Covid case originated in or near a Chinese communist virology lab engineering gain-of-function deadly viruses—with help from Western agencies—the Left went into full persecution mode.

“They damned as incompetent, racist, and conspiratorial anyone who dared follow logic and evidence to point out that the Chinese government and its military were both culpable for the virus and lying.

“A million Americans died of COVID-19. Millions more suffered long-term injuries. Still, the left-wing media and the Biden administration demonized any who dared speak about a lab origin of the deadly virus.”

The lies were designed to protect the guilty who had helped fund the virus’ origins, such as Drs. Fauci and Francis Collins.

The Left media covered up the fact that Biden engineered 12 million illegal aliens into America in violation of our laws.

Our FBI under James Comey hired Steele as an informant. It helped disseminate his concocted files and was also instrumental in trying to subvert the Trump campaign and later administration.

No sane person ever believed that Hunter Biden’s Laptop was the work of “Russian disinformation.” Its contents a year before the 2020 election were verified by the FBI, but it kept mum about its confirmation.

Hanson said, “The pornographic pictures, the evidence of prostitution and drug use, the electronic communications implicating Joe Biden in his family’s illicit shake-down operation of foreign governments—all were never challenged by anyone who was associated with the laptop’s contents.”

Biden cited lie after lie, to claim the incriminating laptop was fake. It was and is real! A lying media damned Trump as a puppet of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Biden, little more than a week later, won the 2020 election.

Even my own U.S. Senator Michael Bennet participated in the lies. He has stated, “Our broken immigration system….” ad nauseam. What he means is: we’re not enforcing our immigration laws, so we need to make new laws that we won’t enforce.” It’s like half of our U.S. Senate works overtime to destroy our America with the greatest invasion in history.

Then, you’ve got “nuts and fruits” like U.S. Senator Van Hollen (D-MD) going down to El Salvador to spring an MS-13 terrorist back into the United States. Let’s not talk about 270,000 citizen drug-overdose deaths because of MS-13 drug distribution networks all over America. Van Hollen forgot about a Maryland woman of five children being brutally beaten, raped and killed.

The media fabricated the excuse that “comprehensive immigration reform” was needed to enforce federal immigration laws already on the books.

Notice, upon inauguration on Jan. 20, Trump, in a matter of days, stopped what Biden had deliberately engineered for years. And yet, the legacy media, that’s Norah O’Donnell (now retired), David Muir, Lester Holt, MSNBC, NPR and PBS stand complicit in the cover-up of the invasion.

Biden’s handlers engaged the Cloward-Piven Strategy to overload our welfare systems with millions of poor illegal aliens, dependent on social services, to swarm the borders.

If you look at the facts, Biden and his handlers have made a huge success with the present count of over 20-25 million people added to our country that violated our borders, and are sucking off our welfare and food systems—against all of us and our wallets. “All these lies have divided the country and permanently damaged the U.S.,” said Hanson.

What’s worse, no one will ever be held accountable or go to prison.

In the end, our Legacy Media will never be trusted again. Joe Biden, his pervert son Hunter, his corrupt wife Jill Biden, and the entire Biden Crime Family will more than likely skip off into the sunset without missing a beat.

Finally, what is “Grading for Equity”? Its ultimate goal is to create a “dumbed down” citizenry that cannot think critically, vote wisely, or maintain this Constitutional Republic. (Note the people who vote for Maxine Waters, Ilhan Omar, Hank Johnson, Rashida Talaib, AOC, Pressley and other “mental midgets.”) Meanwhile, look at all those “fruits and nuts” cheering for “transmen” to beat the crap out of girls.

The American people spoke with a roar in 2024, delivering Donald Trump a mandate to unleash his America First agenda. But a cabal of rogue judges, intoxicated by their own power, dares to defy the nation’s will. These unelected, black-robed tyrants, appointed by Democrats and entrenched in their activist fiefdoms, are waging a judicial jihad to sabotage Trump’s presidency. From blocking deportations of illegal gang members to forcing taxpayers to fund globalist NGOs, these judges are not interpreting the law—they’re rewriting it to thwart the executive branch. They believe they can rule from the bench, but are gravely mistaken. Judges have no authority to administer the executive branch, and their overreach will crash against the unbreakable resolve of Trump and the American people.

These radical rogues are not neutral arbiters. They’re partisan warriors, weaponizing their gavels to preserve the rotting corpse of Joe Biden’s failed policies. Take Judge Amir Ali, a prime example of judicial hubris. Ali had the audacity to order the Trump administration to funnel $2 billion to NGOs that bankrolled liberal programs abroad with American tax dollars. This wasn’t justice—it was theft, a blatant attempt to subvert Trump’s foreign policy and force taxpayers to fund globalist schemes. Ali didn’t even have jurisdiction; the case belonged in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, not his courtroom. Yet he seized power, acting as if he, not Trump, were commander-in-chief. This is not the law. This is tyranny.

The assault doesn’t stop there. Biden-appointed Judge Brian Murphy blocked Trump from fast-tracking deportations of suspected gang members to countries like El Salvador. Another judge in South Texas halted the deportation of Venezuelan gang members, citing a warped reading of the Alien Enemies Act. In California, Judge Jennifer Thurston barred Border Patrol from arresting suspected illegals without warrants, crippling enforcement. These rulings aren’t about legal nuance—they’re about protecting criminals and illegals over American citizens. These judges are spitting in the face of Trump’s mandate to secure the border and deport those who threaten our safety.

Reps. Jim Jordan and Brian Mast have sounded the alarm, and their words burn with truth: these rogue judges are “out to stop Trump’s America First agenda.” They’re not just bending the law—they’re breaking it, manipulating jurisdiction to obstruct the president’s constitutional authority. Jordan, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and Mast, head of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, aren’t mincing words. They expose these judges as unelected bureaucrats who think they can override the 2024 election. Their solution? Strip these activist courts of their stolen power. Mast’s bill, which has already passed the House, ensures that federal district judges’ injunctions apply only to the parties in their jurisdiction, not nationwide—no more single judges holding the entire nation hostage.

The House Republicans are on the warpath and are right to be. Fox News reports they are crafting a battle plan to crush this judicial overreach. They are not just talking—they are acting. Legislation is in motion to limit the scope of these rogue rulings and restore power to the elected executive. The Daily Caller lays it bare: Congress has the tools to stop these judges without resorting to impeachment. They can redefine jurisdiction, curb nationwide injunctions, and cut the purse strings of courts that defy the Constitution. This is not a suggestion—it is a necessity. The American people did not vote for judges to run the country. They voted for Trump.

Senator Marsha Blackburn is equally fierce, criticizing these “out-of-control leftist judges” for obstructing Trump’s agenda. She’s not mistaken. These judges operate as a fifth column, masquerading as defenders of justice while promoting a radical leftist agenda. They’re not upholding the law but advocating for open borders, globalism, and unaccountable bureaucracy. Blackburn’s call to rein them in is a rallying cry for every patriot who prioritizes the rule of law over the rule of robes.

The evidence is undeniable. Fortune reports that Trump’s administration is accumulating legal setbacks, not because his policies are unlawful, but because these judges are acting like dictators. They’re targeting Trump’s deportation orders, his efforts to remove unaccountable bureaucrats, and his moves to realign foreign aid with American interests. This isn’t justice—it’s a judicial coup d’état. Newt Gingrich nailed it: 92% of the judges blocking Trump’s first-term agenda were Democrat appointees. This isn’t random—it’s a coordinated assault by a politicized judiciary.

But here’s the truth: these judges can’t escape. They have no power to stop Trump, as the Constitution vests executive authority in the president, not the courts. Judges can’t administer the executive branch, no matter how loudly they bang their gavels. Trump’s mandate is ironclad, backed by millions of Americans who rejected the chaos of open borders and globalist surrender. The people chose strength, security, and sovereignty, not judicial activism.

Congress is rising to the fight. Jordan’s oversight, Mast’s legislation, and the GOP’s relentless push to curb judicial overreach are the opening salvos in a war to restore constitutional order. These rogue judges may think they’re untouchable, but they are not. The American people will strip them of their ill-gotten power through their elected representatives. Trump will not bend. His America First agenda will not break. These judges can delay and obstruct, but they will not win. The will of the people is a tidal wave, and no bench can stand against it.

If you are to take an honest look in reference to the Word of God from both the past to the present state of any people or country, it is the history of men forgetting the Lord; and when they do, the decay begins.

“The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” -Psalm 9:17

DECA’Y – To pass gradually from a sound, prosperous, or perfect state, to a less perfect state, or towards destruction.

Why does history repeat itself?  It is because the people have failed to take the time to know His-story.

It is also true, that since the beginning of time, concerning men that decadence (synonymous with decay) follows luxury.

Let me put this into Scriptural terms:

“When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which He hath given thee.
Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping His commandments, and His judgments, and His statutes, which I command thee this day:

Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein; And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;

Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.” -Deuteronomy 8:10-14

Let me put it to you this way, poverty has destroyed its thousands, but prosperity has destroyed its millions.  Simply put, the people have forgotten the Lord in their prosperity.  Because of this, decadence follows.

Salt of the Earth

Christians are to be Christ like, period.  Matthew 5:13 tells us:

“…Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.”

Salt is to stop the putrefaction, the demoralization of a society or a nation of people.

• Preserve – keep or save from injury or destruction; to defend from evil.
• Season – to grow fit for use. Read 2 Peter 3:18.

Jesus specifically defined the role of the Church in society as that of salt and light.

Salt preserves and seasons.

Light illuminates’ darkness.  Light denotes in Scripture God, the source of knowledge.  God is light (1 John 1:4).

When the Church compromises and becomes influenced by and like the world, it loses its savor and therefore, becomes “good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.”

Time to Contend for the Faith

In Jude 3 and 4, we find that Christians, out of charity, a pure love for our Savior Jesus Christ, Him who has commanded us to love one another, are to contend for the faith with all diligence.

“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.”

And why?

“For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Therefore, in reforming the current state of the Church back to its original duties, let us hold fast to our Father’s instruction manual, the Bible, lest we also find ourselves traitors to the Lord on high.

Charles Spurgeon said:

“I fear sometimes, in our endeavors to be sweet in disposition, we have not been strong in principle. “Charity” is a word that is greatly cried up nowadays: But often, it means that, in trying to be courteous, we have also been traitorous.”

Therefore, genuine Christians are to be guilt free in sacrificing any portion of truth on the altar of peace.

Dark Money Strikes Again and Again

Florida is not the only state where the forces of Anti-Americanism are at work.

Today, Ken Paxton, who has announced his run for the Senate against Tx Sen. John Cornyn was removed from the TX Senate floor by the Sgt. at Arms. The reason why is, at this time, uncertain. If you click the link on “John Cornyn”, you will see that he is really a Democrat, with a conservative voting score of 54% We need Ken Paxton in DC, although TX would miss him terribly.

Perhaps, Paxton expresses his anger at the fact that on this, the last day of the spring session, a large majority of the bills up for consideration were Leftist. State Rep. Brian Harrison went off on the Austin swamp.

“The Texas House has now spent more time debating Biden-style student loan repayment legislation… than debating eliminating property taxes,” GOP priorities are being put on the backburn, said Harrison.

Another TX Republican, Brent Money said on “X”, On the last day that we can pass bills, House leadership has prioritized a Dem-authored bill to use taxpayer funds to repay student loans of school counselors. We’ve spent over an hour on it so far. Remember this when they tell you “we ran out of time” to pass GOP priorities.”

There were 81 Democrat bills lined up for the vote. Texas does not have 81 Democrats in the House.

Sound like another “good red state”?? Yeah. In both states, conservative office holders were stymied, and BOTH GOVERNORS themselves, Abbot and DeSantis, seem to be MIA as well. Abbott we know is left of center, although he tries to hide it; DeSantis is still trying for the “poor me; they’re out of control” song.

Guaranteed, the money behind these actions are from big business. There’s history of that, which Texans have been fighting since 2016 and before. Here, one recent candidate in the 2024 primary got “AI’d” with a scam notice sent to his constituents, like Florida’s “Fake Voter Guides”.

We are familiar with some of the Florida money chain; we are learning more by the day. Time for all good Texans to dig into this as well.

This is the time for every constituent in both states to contact their political representatives and let them know who really IS boss. That would be the people whom the legislatures have tossed aside.

May 27, 2025

• Memorial Day is when we as a nation honor those who died in the service of their country.
• Memorial Day has become the beginning of the summer season.
• Don’t we owe those who gave the last full measure of devotion more than parades and cookouts?

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,

Declaration of Independence

Are you wondering why am I quoting the Declaration of Independence for a holiday other than Independence Day? It is because one of our nation’s most important holidays is often treated as nothing more than the beginning of summer. That does a disservice to all who have sacrificed so much to secure our rights.

Today it seems most people think the government is there to keep us safe. However, as the Declaration of Independence states, we create governments to secure our rights.

Government Issued

During World War I, buckets, trash cans, and other metal items issued by the military were stamped with the letters “G.I.” Some think this stood for “General Issue,” but I lean towards the term “Government Issue.” It didn’t take long before soldiers were referred to as “GIs”. What does all this have to do with Memorial Day?

Think back to the Declaration of Independence: “to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men.” When government sends out troops, be they federal military or state militia, their primary goal should be to secure our rights. Every one of them takes an oath, which inlcudes:

“I, ________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.”

10 USC 502: Enlistment oath

Yes, they protect us from invasion, punish those who’ve attacked us, and frequently project foreign policy, but if their actions are legitimate this is done to protect the unalienable rights of people, both home and abroad. During these engagements, and sometimes while training for them, some of these brave men and women die in the service of their country. They gave their lives to secure to us our rights. Don’t you think that’s worth a little recognition?

History of Memorial Day

Decoration Day was first observed on May 30, 1868, to honor those who had died during the Civil War. May 30th was chosen because it was not the anniversary of any Civil War battle. It was a day when grateful people would decorate the graves of those who had fallen during the war. Then, in 1971, it was made a federal holiday to honor all military personnel who died in service and renamed Memorial Day. Although a disappearing celebration, some cities and towns still hold parades and decorate the graves of veterans on this day.

One national celebration of Memorial Day people may have heard of is the Indianapolis 500 race. This annual race has been held the Sunday before Decoration/Memorial Day since its first running in 1912. This includes pre-race events, many of them patriotic and honoring of the fallen.

Because Memorial Day is the last Monday in May, it has become the unofficial beginning of the summer season. Celebrated with cook-outs and other family get togethers, it seems fewer and fewer people are focused on the honoring of those who died to secure their rights and instead are enjoying their cook-outs and planning for summer vacations.

Honoring More Than the Fallen

There are still plenty of Americans who remember the fallen on Memorial Day, but are they the only ones who have sacrificed to secure our rights? There are plenty of people injured, both physically and mentally from combat, and we should remember them as well. However, the group that often sacrifices the most yet gets the least recognition are the families: The mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, wives, husbands, daughters, and sons that are left behind. Yes, there are those who support them, and programs to assist them, but there is no day set aside to remember the sacrifices they have made.

We have Veterans Day in November, when we remember all who served, but how often do we remember those who served and supported the veteran? How often are the families remembered? Sure, when death visits them, there are friends and neighbors who offer condolences, bring food, and offer a shoulder to cry on, but what happens after that? Who takes up the role of father, and in some cases mother, after the ceremonies are over? Who invites the sons and daughters to join them in the Memorial Day Parade? Who prays with the widow, not just during their darkest hours, but when the day to day gets to be too much?

Yes, we should all remember and honor those who sacrificed their lives to secure our rights, but I think we owe them more than an annual parade. I think we owe taking care of their families as well.

Conclusion

Although pre-dating Decoration Day, on June 1, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln gave what became known as the “Gettysburg Address”. Among those few and powerful words, some should ring all the louder on this Memorial Day.

that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

The Gettysburg Address

In this brief yet powerful speech, President Lincoln gave us a clarion call and a way to honor those who sacrificed to secure our rights. We should honor their sacrifices by resolving to continue what they died for, that we work to bring an ever new birth of freedom to this nation, and that we insure that our governments serve the people, not that the people serve the government. Finally, that the United States once again becomes the home of the brave, so it can remain the land of the free.

Let us take President Lincoln’s admonition for those 7,000 dead and 51,000 wounded, and honor the approximately 1.3 million service men and women that have given the last full measure of devotion in war to secure our rights. Not just this year, but each and every Memorial Day as long as we live. And while we’re at it, let us not forget the families whose pain and sacrifice continue while their loved ones are laid to rest. I can think of no better way to honor the dead, than to do our best to support those they left behind.

“One man with courage makes a majority.” President Andrew Jackson

The “global warming” aka climate change hoax is falling apart.  The so-called “environmental crisis” was cooked up by the communists in Moscow in 1928; 20 delegates from the U.S. voted for that diabolical plan to destroy capitalism in America.[1]

Solution to global warming and disappearing polar bears, June 5, 2008 (Mine):

“How about those inconvenient scientists who know Al Gore is a phony?

“World’s Top Scientists ‘Manmade Warming’ Is A Dangerous Lie. December 13, 2007. “In particular, it is not established that it is possible to significantly alter global climate through cuts in human greenhouse gas emissions. On top of which, because attempts to cut emissions will slow development, the current UN approach of CO2 reduction is likely to increase human suffering from future climate change rather than to decrease it.”

“Hundreds of scientists reject global warming. December 21, 2007. “A new U.S. Senate report documents hundreds of prominent scientists – experts in dozens of fields of study worldwide – who say global warming and cooling is a cycle of nature and cannot legitimately be connected to man’s activities.

“”Of course I believe in global warming, and in global cooling – all part of the natural climate changes that the Earth has experienced for billions of years, caused primarily by the cyclical variations in solar output,” said research physicist John W. Brosnahan, who develops remote-sensing instruments for atmospheric science for clients including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and NASA.”

“It matters not to the converted card board puppet, Al Gore, turned king of the environmental guru’s, that a judge over in Great Britain slapped down his cock and bull,[2] he continues to peddle his pernicious lies. The same as these career poltroons in Congress; entrenched bureau-rats who spew lies as their daily dogma. The American people have been pummeled with all the dire predictions and “proof,” enforced by intellectually lazy saps who hold major positions in print and electronic media.

“I encourage you to watch this 2:08 second video of closet communist, Barry Obama, aka Barrack Hussein Obama. “Listen to what he says about using this phony global warming to create jobs. This is the tactic used over and over to enrich the elites and crush the middle “class.

“Barry has simply taken up the plan laid out by Gus Hall, head of the Communist Party USA for decades…”  Old Gus’ book book, Ecology, Can we survive under capitalism? published in 1972 was pure Marxist propaganda.  On page 88: “The demand must be the nationalization of industry that violate anti-pollution laws.”  Why do you think the unconstitutional EPA was created?

Over the years so many of us in the independent media have been educating Americans about the big lie called climate change. Hounded our state legislatures and CON-gress to stop raping us in taxes to pay for our own destruction.  The big lie is global as was meant to be and good people who do care about the environment have been brainwashed to believe one lie after another all to ‘save the planet’.

Brainwashed as children. Way back in 2003 (the year Greta Thunberg was born), Holly Swanson’s book, Set Up and Sold Out: Find Out What Green Really Means came out and she nailed it on the head way back then.  Get ahold of the kids and start indoctrinating them into believing the bald faced lies about ‘what green really means’.  I encountered brainwashed seniors as a substitute teacher in 2018.  Young, impressionable and scared because through social media, they just knew teen Greta Thunberg was right:  They would be dead in ten years so why do the classwork?  By 2018, Thunberg was the climate hero scolding world leaders at the rotten, corrupt UN holding another BS climate change conference.

No More Money for the BIG “Climate Change” Lie, (Mine) Oct. 21, 2024 and Republicans Must Denounce Climate Change Scam, Feb. 13, 2023 (Mine) – Both of these columns have a lot of FACTS all Americans need to know if we’re going to stop the madness and stripping us of our rights, private ownership of land and protect our precious farmers and ranchers from the lunatics in elected office.

READ because it will spread:  Eco-Fascism – 2026 Ballot Measure Seeks “End Of Farming” In Colorado, May 22, 2025: “The Trump administration, focused on delivering economic growth and food production in the U.S., is attracting the opposition of zealots and degrowth monied interests alike. 

To wit; two radically authoritarian ballot measures – which have the support of initiatives and frameworks of International Governmental Organizations (IGOs) – ask Colorado and Oregon voters to give up the family dog and hand over their private property rights in what some have called “the end of farming and ranching” in the Mile High state…

Oregon

“Leading up to the 2022 election in Oregon, a similarly wonky Initiative Petition 13 was introduced to make raising, riding, eating or owning domestic livestock illegal. Similarly, the state donated resources to the petitioners by sending back a lengthy how-to guide.

“After significant tweaks, that Initiative Petition is back as IP28 and greenlit for signature collection ahead of the 2026 election. In addition to making it illegal to own companion animals such as dogs or cats, the IP would make it illegal to render animals for meat in the State of Oregon. 

“While some might be quick to dismiss the actions of a few, seemingly lone environmental zealots, others cite bigger-picture concerns for connections to IGOs and dark money influence…Yet by narrowly redefining “harm” as an illegal taking—such as removing or poaching—the Trump administration is attempting to rectify decades of federal overreach that have resulted in the loss of grazing rights on privately owned lands and the lowest cattle volumes in 70 years.”

This is dead serious because of big money and hypocrites with that money who fly around in $50 million-dollar private jets to go party on a $100 million dollar yacht halfway around the world.  Oh, but their “carbon footprint” is okay because they are the privileged.  To them, we are nothing but oxen under the yoke to be pushed around, all for conservation and save the planet!  Our farmers and ranchers (and sure, there’s always a few bad apples in any category) are the best stewards of our land yet they are under attack constantly either by bureau-rats in some state agency, state legislatures and the destructive EPA.  Why the Environmental Protection Agency must be abolished, Mine, Jan. 21, 2005, WND

And, Democrats in Colorado are preparing to permanently end farming in the state: “This would be the end of farming and ranching and private (farm) land ownership in Colorado” “There’s something happening in Colorado which is not so good. The corridor of people that don’t understand the rural lifestyle that live in all the cities in Colorado are controlling that state. This would be the end of farming and ranching and private land ownership in Colorado.

“Because what they propose is that they want to set up a committee that cannot have any farmers and ranchers on the committee to decide what happens to our public lands and private lands in the name of conservation. They want to be able to say that any, put any species on the state endangered species list, which would dictate what you can do on your land if you have that species on there.

“So they could just say, oh, this squirrel is endangered. And now you have 400 restrictions on your property that you can’t use it. You for this. You can’t cut down this tree. You can’t move cattle in this area. This is activist environmental proposal to take over that entire state. Because if they get control of that, they can literally dictate the use of any land, public or private, in the name of conservation.”

Farmers and ranchers in other countries have been destroyed to save the planet! It has been truly tragic to read about.  Peter Sweden: IT’S SPREADING – Massive Farmers Protest in Germany (Video), Jan. 1, 2024: “You might have heard about the farmers protest in the Netherlands. Farmers have been protesting against government plans to essentially SEIZE 3000 farms in order to meet 2030 climate goals.

“Earlier this year I traveled to report on the farmers protest in the Netherlands. Some 10,000 people turned out.” Rest at link.  All to enforce the big lie and the 2030 date to finally crush all of us.

And lunacy by elected morons continues:  “Reduce the Need for Personal Vehicles”: Top Massachusetts Democrat Wants to Limit How Many Miles Residents Can Drive or Drive at All, Because ‘Climate Change’, May 25, 2025

Mark Steyn

Mark is a remarkable man who filled in here and there for the late Rush Limbaugh; more frequently as Limbaugh battled cancer.  Funny and very intelligent. A man of many, many accomplishments.  A man who became the target of “climate change” hustlers and lawfare attack. Two heart attacks (one while on the air) and over ten years later, after losing a defamation lawsuit against him, he has been vindicated:

Michael Mann – the Scientist Behind the Debunked Global Warming Hockey Stick Model – Wins $1 Million from Mark Steyn in Defamation Case, February 9, 2024.  I knew all about this case from the beginning and it sickened me.  But Mark didn’t sit around feeling sorry for himself even though every effort was made to destroy him emotionally and financially.  It didn’t work:  When the Ice Cracks: Michael Mann’s Legal Defeat and the Climate of Accountability, May 24, 2025 – Important backstory.

Mark Steyn’s Vindication: A Triumph for Free Speech and Personal Fortitude, May 24, 2025: “A Warning Shot Against SLAPP Tactics”

“This case, like Mann’s broader legal campaign, embodied a SLAPP, a Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation. These lawsuits are designed not to win but to exhaust, intimidate, and silence. And in the world of climate science, where the political and the empirical are often inseparable, they have been used to devastating effect.

“The Power of the Individual

“Mark Steyn’s story is not just about one man’s fight against the system. It’s about the system’s fear of one man.” Rest at link.

The fear of one courageous man – THAT is what the “left” and all these lunatics elected by either brain dead or uninformed voters fear the most. But our numbers have grown exponentially over the decades and the truth about the manufactured ‘climate crisis’ has spread around the world.  WE THE PEOPLE.  OUR AMERICA.  It’s up to us to stop the destruction of what made this country great as I wrote in my April 29, 2024 column. Millions of us have stayed on this hoax and going after elected lunatics.

The more sane with common sense are finally getting elected or placed in positions to stop this communist goal:  Watch: Morano on Fox explains why Dem Senators attacked Trump’s EPA Chief: ‘Zeldin is the most consequential EPA Chief in the history of the agency’ – ‘He is dismantling their climate agenda, they are running scared’, May 23, 2025

My previous columns covered the Rio confab:  Watch: Morano on Varney on Fox on Trump quitting ‘the world’s oldest climate treaty’ – ‘Our long national nightmare will have ended’, May 16, 2025: “Stuart Varney: Marc Morano is the executive at Climate Depot. What happens if they withdraw from this 1992 treaty? Are we out of the climate business?

“Marc Morano: Yes, and in other words, our long national nightmare will have ended.

“This is the most significant thing that the Trump administration could do. Administration could do to end this climate hold that has been on America, these 32 years ago since 1992 when George H.W. Bush, the first Bush, went to the UN’s Rio Earth Summit to appear ‘green’ in the battle against Bill Clinton and Bush lost the election anyway. But he signed onto the Rio treaty, which created all the United Nations climate summits.

“Donald Trump is trying to do now is withdraw from the treaty, and then the next president will have a much harder time — needing two-thirds to get it passed back in. This is something no republican President has ever attempted. This would give permanence to Trump’s agenda.” (Exactly why I’ve pounded on abolishing the Seventeenth Amendment. Treaties have to be approved by the Senate.)

Going back to Mark Steyn. Sean Hannity, Clay and Buck and some others have large audiences (do miss Dan Bongino’s show), but I favor Mark’s radio show; he has a very large listening audience. You can listen here. His interviews on climate change are here and worth listening to. What a gentleman and someone to admire for his intelligence; a dedicated truth seeker with wit and grit.

May 27, 2025

Let us forget about Joe Biden’s failing health for a moment and get back to the subject of America’s failing health. President Trump’s “Big Beautiful” bill promises more debt and financial ruin. Meanwhile, another World War is taking shape.

The courageous Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) is standing against the tax bill and declaring that Trump “can’t pressure” him to vote for the bill. “I ran in 2010 because we were mortgaging our children’s future,” he told Punchbowl news. He knows the bill doesn’t cut enough from federal spending and increases the debt.

On the foreign policy front, President Trump has apparently had a Damascus Road conversion about the nature of Vladimir Putin. “He has gone absolutely CRAZY!” says Trump. With all due respect, Putin has not gone crazy; he remains a communist, and that is the problem.

Trump failed to appreciate the real nature of Putin and his brain, Alexander Dugin. He thought Putin would “make a deal.”

Now, with Trump having a wake-up call regarding Russia, perhaps it’s time for him to purge members of the “Alt-Right Comintern” around him, with the domestic version featuring such personalities as Tucker Carlson and Stephen K. Bannon, who have been trying to convince him that the Russians are just like us, and that a rapprochement with Russia is somehow necessary and proper.

Referring to Putin, Trump said, “He is needlessly killing a lot of people, and I’m not just talking about soldiers. Missiles and drones are being shot into Cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever.”

The reason, Mr. President, is that Putin has been trying to reconstitute the Russian empire, by taking back the former Soviet republics such as Ukraine. The story is told in our book, Back from the Dead: The Return of the Evil Empire, published in 2014.

I don’t agree with many of Robert Zubrin’s points in his article about the “Alt-Right Comintern,” since nationalism and populism in the West are valid political movements and not necessarily in alliance with the Kremlin’s aims. These movements are justifiably upset about the invasions of their respective countries by aliens from other countries. But when they  cross the line into making excuses for Putin’s madness you can rest assured they are being infiltrated by Putin’s followers in the orbit around Alexander Dugin.

Dugin’s new book, The Trump Revolution: A New Order of Great Powers, is a vision of what they hoped Trump to become, as he made noises that Russia would come to the table and settle the war in Ukraine on “Day One.”  That wasn’t to be, and now Trump has discovered that Putin was and still is a communist, in league with China and North Korea.

In my recent broadcast with geopolitical analyst J.R. “Jeff” Nyquist, we discuss Trump’s blind spots, including his failure to understand the nature of international communism and global Islam. Now that he has recognized the true nature of Putin, he should review the business deals he made with the Arab gulf states, and rethink whether it’s wise to send them advanced microchips for Artificial Intelligence (AI) purposes. They opened doors to Communist China, long before they welcomed America cash from the Big Tech firms based in America.

My belief is that the Arab states funding al-Qaeda and Hamas should not be rewarded with business deals of any kind. And while we are at it, can’t be withdraw our military forces from Qatar? Whatever happened to America First? Wasn’t this Trump’s agenda? Instead, we have been given globalism that provides military support for Arab regimes like Qatar that want to kill us.

The Arabs are committed to Muslim fundamentalism, just like Putin is determined to spread international communism. We should not be getting into bed with either.

Putin is like the communist who killed those two Israeli embassy employees on the streets of Washington, D.C. He wasn’t crazy. He was in the grip of a foreign ideology that justifies murder. He shouted “Free Palestine” as he was taken away. These are the motivations of global Islam and international communism. They will not rest until America is buried.

As we celebrated Memorial Day, our enemies were on the march, as Putin continues his war on Ukraine and the Arab/Muslim states were basking in the glow of business deals arranged by the Trump Administration. The inevitable result will be more wounded warriors in the Middle East, perhaps because of the Sunni Muslims in the Gulf states striking an alliance with the new jihadist president of Syria and then going to war with Shiite Islam in Iran and elsewhere. It is a bloody mess.

Perhaps international communism and global Islam will come to blows, but America is ultimately in the crosshairs.

What I do know is that the war in Ukraine was not settled on Day One and I didn’t expect more involvement in the Middle east under this America First president. Nothing good can come out of it. I do not expect “peace” in Europe or the Middle East.

To his credit, Trump did propose a “Golden Dome” missile defense shield for the United States. That is the immediate priority. National defense is constitutionally mandated. We cannot live without it.

I suggest canceling those high-tech deals with the Arabs, bringing our troops home from Qatar, and ordering our high-tech firms to collaborate on protecting the American people from missile attack. Nothing is more important.

Shining The Light On Dark Money

Unless we can fix the dark money that controls all, we have lost our freedom.

Dark Money by the billions flows from big donors to dozens of Political Action Committees to OTHER Political Committees, back and forth, and it spent for things that the Party wants. Forget the people.

Dark Money came to US politics with a SCOTUS decision in 1976, Buckley v. Valeo when the Justices laid out “Eight Magic Words” which defined the difference between electioneering and issue advocacy – exempting the latter from election finance laws.

Dark campaign spending increased from less than $5.2 million nationwide in 2006 to well over $300 million in the 2012 presidential cycle, more than $174 million in the 2014 midterms,[3] $216 million in the 2014 midterm elections,[5] and more than $1 billion in all 2020 federal elections. Many RINOS like Thom Tillis, NC, were the ones to benefit, as they were purchased to join the Globalists.

“Dark Money” refers to funds raised for the purpose of influencing elections, public policy and public discourse, by nonprofits and organizations which are not required to disclose the identities of their donors. The nation is awash in it, with an estimated $3+ billion of it in circulation in the year 2024.

Dark Money controls elections, taxation, insurance and power regulation, the air we breathe and the food we eat. It controls where and how we work, and our children, learn. It controls the cleanliness of our environment, our health and our freedom of choice in every way. Soon, if left unchanged, dark money will be deciding where and how we live; stack and pack small apartment units in UN Agenda communities that allow only bicycles for personal transportation. and availability of food as provided.

Venezuela suffers that today; only three or fewer hours of power every three or four days, little clean water or decent food. Those in Florida, with family in that country, can attest to that and more.

No, I am NOT exaggerating. It’s all in the plan, the UNAgenda plans, which have been slowly wrapping their freedom-destroying tentacles around our lives for decades. Only in the early 1990’s did they get a name.

Florida is signed on to this.

Tallahassee, being of the leftist, or Globalist/totalitarian bent under DeSantis, has long ago forgotten the people, and is living comfortably in the thought that the web they have woven , with the use of of dark-money trading, is sufficient to keep the people on the plantation, and out of the way of the desires of the political class. Tallahassee is fed and watered – and elected – by large corporate interests, and big private monies. Although it all began long before DeGov, we are here with him and his, NOW. We recognize the damage done by previous administrations, both R and D.

Interestingly enough, much of the diatribe I find against “dark money” is from the LEFT, which whined that the US Senate “Republicans” blocked a bill which would have required disclosure, in 2022, during the illegitimate B/O regime. It never once occurred to any of them that, without dark money in the election fraud machinery, Barry and Joe would never have been at 1600 from 2020 – 2024! lol…even though the subject is far from funny…

The left blames the right and vice versa… . Were it not for finger-pointing there would be little activity in Congress most days. In truth, citizens on BOTH SIDES want and need to shine the light on things.

”Left” and “right” refers to the Constitutionalists and the Communists, of course.

Remember that the use of party labels only confuses us today. It is the Communists/Globalists/Marxists who don’t care about the people. The opposition party to the Communists is the Constitutionalists. We DO CARE and are working hard to shine the light where it needs to go. You get it, I know. Just start using and thinking in those terms.

I think, frankly, that breaking up the dark money syndicate will go a long way to showing Americans just how much we have in common. Party labels have been used to divide us for decades.

We The People are a powerful force against darkness. Get thee behind us, Satan.

In this series, I will be looking at Florida’s dark money; its sources and uses, and the players who ply the people with lies upon lies.

With all of Florida’s vaunted sunshine, the state is awash in dark money being used for elections and priorities of the ruling class. More and more unwanted development, “affordable housing”, solar energy (which is very high-cost/low efficiency), less and less agriculture, with higher and higher taxes to bankrupt the homeowner.

Please consult an excellent website, which has been fighting the dark money takeover of the peoples’ rights in Florida. https://comecleanflorida.org/history

I will leave you to think about a few realities in the dark Sunshine State:

Newly elected members of the State Legislature, who have come to Tallahassee with promises to their constituents to fix something or fight against what is going on, are taken aside and told to shut up and sit down. Literally!! Their opinions and those of their constituents are unwelcome and immediately shelved or trashed.

Ah, yes, “the Free State of Florida”.

The preaching and cajoling of the dark legislators is plied among Florida constituents to cajole and confuse them. Tallahassee begins to act as “emotional vampires’, draining away the citizens’ confidence in just what really IS good for them.

Do NOT be misled. Strap on your running shows, and boxing gloves, grab your readers and computer, and join in the fight for Light vs. Dark. Now that you begin to sense the depths of their depravity, go enlist some good pro-American recruits and join us.

We are out to shine real light on the dark spots in Florida, and the bigger and stronger the group, the more Tallahassee will pay heed. Our light will not be hidden under any bushel basket.

Stay tuned. There will be more zoom meetings to join; the next is scheduled for July 26, as it stands. I will give you updates, new things to do, share and think about every few days. Be there, or be content to live in the dark, with no AC, clean water and little food. That’s coming if we don’t. For now, read, learn and ENLIST those who want freedom.

Most American kids today take their freedoms for granted. Most don’t possess a clue as to the “Greatest Generation” that saved the world from Nazi aggression in World War II. Most bury themselves in their “Smart Phones” while our society moves at frenetic speed to a destination none of us really understand.

My father, M/Sgt Howard Wooldridge, born in Reed City, Michigan, 1918, joined the Marine Corps immediately after December 7, 1941. He gave up his baseball scholarship to Western Michigan University. Hitler, Japan, and that “War to End All Wars” stole my father’s youth, his scholarship, his education and his life. He punched through Marine Corps Boot Camp training to become an Infantryman heading to the South Pacific.

You might not know where the term “Infantry” originated. The Romans always thrust the youngest kids, the “Infants”, onto the front lines to be killed in battle. That’s how the word “Infantry” entered the world. It hasn’t changed to this day…old men start wars that kill young men by the thousands, and into the millions.

A perfect example stems from Russia’s 70 year old Vladimir Putin having killed over 200,000 kids on both sides of the Ukraine War that Putin started. If you look back at WWII, Hitler caused the deaths of over 70 million kids from the ages of 15 to 21. Same with the Vietnam War where 58,479 American “infants” died in Robert McNamara’s and Lyndon Johnson’s war that slaughtered 2.3 million Vietnamese. What did the Vietnam War accomplish? Answer: nothing but death.

Okay, my fathered fought in the South Pacific in some of the deadliest fighting against the entrenched Japanese in Iwo Jima. We’re talking about blood, guts, mangled bodies, horrific emotional trauma, thousands died, and many that survived—never recovered their minds or emotions.

Somehow, and this is a fact, it doesn’t matter how smart, strong, fast, tall, short, or educated you are in a war—-if a bullet or bomb has your name on it, you’re off the planet in an instant. As the “luck of the draw” would have it, my father survived combat. I can tell you this: it’s nothing like it is in the movies. “Saving Private Ryan…Band of Brothers…Fury” and other war movies give you a taste of sheer misery, pain and sorrow of war—but they can never give you the sheer horror of what a soldier feels when he’s a face to face with death.

If you notice, those movies never give you a taste of what it’s like to kill another human being. If you have any humanity in your being, how do you process killing another person?

I remember my own U.S. Army Fort Benning, Georgia Boot Camp in 1968. Sgt. Pierce screamed at us, “What is the bayonet fighter’s call?” We screamed back, “To kill, drill sergeant”, as we stabbed the dummies in front of us. During boot camp, we learned to take orders, shoot our rifles into enemy ranks in order to kill as many of the “gooks” as possible.

As we marched with our 35 pound packs in Georgia’s 105 degree heat, we sang, “I wanna’ go to Vietnam, I wanna’ fight the Vietcong…I wanna’ go see Ho Chi Minh, to pull the whisker’s on his chin…sound off 1,2 sound off 3,4, sound off 1,2,3,4….”

During night maneuvers, we crawled under concertino wire while live bullets and tracers fired four feet over our heads. With your rifle across your forearms, you hug the dirt, praying that you won’t die. All the while, the drill sergeants called us, “Maggots, scum buzzards” and other unsavory names. If you made a mistake in the ranks, “Drop for 50 Wooldridge!” “Yes, drill sergeant.” (Pushups)

For certain, when I survived Boot Camp, I figured I was a dead man walking because I knew I would be shipped out to Vietnam.

Why is that? If you and I ever meet, and you shake my hand, you will notice a gold peace ring on my right pinky. My college roommate, who was drafted right out of our room, stopped by to see me before he shipped out to Vietnam as an Infantryman. He said, “Frosty, I bought this peace ring for you. If I get back, we’ll go drink a beer and laugh about it. If I don’t get back, wear this ring and be a man of peace the rest of your life.” The Vietcong killed him in a firefight within three months in Vietnam. I’ve worn that peace ring on my pinky since 1968. He’s traveled all over the world with me…his memory lives with me as an “infant” that never got to live his life. When I visit The Vietnam Wall in Washington DC, I place my hand on his name and cry my guts out. Now you know why I vomit at the thought of McNamara, Lyndon Johnson and General Westmoreland.

So, my Dad returned from WWII. For his reasons, he remained in the Marine Corps. I became a service B.R.A.T. Many think that service kids are “Brats.” Instead, it stands for “British Regiment Attached Traveler.” In other words, my brothers, sister and I were “dependents.” We traveled every three years to new duty stations in the USA and abroad. By the time I was 18, I had seen most of the USA.

With each new duty station, my father started baseball leagues, football leagues, umpired ball games, wrote up the games in the sports pages, and even was awarded a citation from a Marine general for my Dad’s work with youth. He brought up all five of us to become decent, educated, athletic and contributing citizens of America. We stood for the flag on base at the sound of taps, attended church, and did our best on the athletic fields. I can tell you that I am PROUD to be the son of a United States Marine. He and my mother brought all of us kids up to be good American citizens. We’ve all made our parents proud.

But then, while serving our country at Camp Lejeune, my father died umpiring a baseball game at the youthful age of 46. He was lean, in shape and full of life. All I can say is that I’ve loved him with all my heart six decades later. He still inspires me. I know he’s looking down on his kids and he’s very proud.

At the funeral, the preacher said, “In this society of ours, we have come to expect a person to get in bad health and approach the door of death slowly and painfully. We expect the end to come this way so that we can prepare ourselves for it—whether it be us or someone close.

“It always comes as a shock when someone apparently in good health and endowed with boundless energy passes on to his reward swiftly, quietly and painlessly.

“Such was the case for M/Sgt Howard Wooldridge. One day you see him at work, the next day at the bank, and the next day you read about it in the newspapers.

“If it is in-comprehensible to us, mere friends, it must be especially difficult for the family. More so for Wooldridge’s family more than the ordinary family.

“He was an athlete and reared a family of athletes. In earlier years he was a participant as well as a coach and leader in sports wherever he went. Later, he stuck to coaching and officiating, and left the participation to his fine array of athletic sons—Frosty, Rex, Howard and John.

“To an active man, nothing in this world can be more rewarding than a son. With four of them, Wooldridge could have known little but happiness. He watched them grow, encouraged their endeavors, and suffered their defeats side by side.

“In his passing, it may be difficult to find the grit to regroup and advance. But, in sons and friends, Wooldridge left the hard core of aggressiveness and the will to win.

“The human body lasts less than a century; a man’s achievements, good and bad, endure to infinity. This, then is the end result of fatherhood and friendship—-memories that survive the ages. In the eyes of the people that knew him, he shall remain and man of limitless courage, iron determination and a monumental sense of humor and compassion.”

God bless you Dad! Semper Fi from your sons. And God bless the United States Marine Corps. The very best to every man and woman who has served America from Valley Forge to the Middle East.

We are in the middle of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) arms race that we must win. So-called “Killer Apps” are being created. “Whoever leads in AI will rule the world,” declared President Vladimir Putin. He understands that his ally, China, is poised to do just that, and now the United States is making it possible.

I am not on the Trump bandwagon for sending powerful Artificial Intelligence microchips and related infrastructure to Arab oil sheiks who have sponsored anti-American terrorism and already have close relationships with Communist China.

I believe global Islam is as dangerous as international communism. We saw an example of that when a communist supporter of the “Free Palestine” movement shot and killed two Israeli embassy staffers, one a Christian and one a Jew, on the streets of Washington, D.C.

In an April 1 letter, I had specifically warned FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino about the Red-Green or Communist-Muslim alliance planning violence in America. On my Rumble program, investigative journalist James Simpson discussed his research into the subject.

Tragically, what President Trump has done, through his Middle East tour, is fall for the same line that convinced the global elites to build up China, insisting that trade and commerce would transform the communist giant into a friend, not a foe. It did not work.

The MAGA movement needs to understand that, before Trump was traveling through the Middle East region making deals with the Arab oil sheiks, China was doing so, and already has a strong presence in the Islamic world. That inevitably means that high-tech being transferred to the Gulf Arab states will make its way to China.

As part of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which was launched in 2013, Beijing launched the Digital Silk Road (DSR) in 2015 that quickly made inroads including projects and “cooperation areas” in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

As far back as 2020, the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission was warned by Steven Feldstein, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, that major Chinese firms such as Huawei, ZTE, Hikvision, Dahua, Meiya Pico, Sensetime, and others, were “building surveillance networks, peddling hi-tech censorship tools, and supplying advanced social media monitoring capabilities” to countries around the world, including  the Arab states of the Middle East.

These same capabilities, having been deployed to monitor and control their domestic populations, can now be used, in conjunction with the advanced technologies authorized by Trump, to monitor U.S. military forces in the region, including the Al Udeid Air Base, located in Doha, Qatar, for the benefit of China and its strategic partner Russia.

Under Biden, in January 2024, U.S. officials reached a secret agreement to extend the American military presence at the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar for another 10 years. Trump has not rescinded it.

Now, with Trump’s acquiesce, American-based firms like Cisco and Amazon are investing $5 billion in an “AI zone” in Saudi Arabia while AI chipmakers Nvidia and AMD will provide tens of thousands of semiconductors and advanced AI chips to Saudi Arabia’s AI venture “Humain,” Qatar’s QCAI, and the United Arab Emirates enterprise known as G42.

Under Biden, Microsoft invested $1.5 billion back in 2024 in G42 “to accelerate AI development and global expansion.” Rep. John Moolenaar (R-MI), chairman of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, warned at the time that the relationship could “open a backdoor for U.S. technology & dollars to flow to the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) surveillance state & military research.”

The House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party cited evidence that G42’s CEO Peng Xiao “operates and is affiliated with an expansive network of UAE and People’s Republic of China-based companies that develop dual-use technologies and materially support PRC military-civil fusion and human rights abuses.”

The company posted a photo of H.H. Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Chairman of G42; Brad Smith, Microsoft Vice Chair and President; and Peng Xiao, Group Chief Executive Officer of G42. Peng Xiao is described in one report as a controversial figure who renounced his American citizenship in exchange for UAE citizenship and has done deals with Huawei, China’s huge telecommunications firm described in a 2012 report from the House Intelligence Committee as a threat to U.S. national security interests.

Now, in the wake of Trump’s deals, Rep. Moolenaar warns that the sensitive chip deals with Gulf nations represent “a vulnerability” for the Chinese Communist Party to exploit. He added, “The CCP is actively working to indirectly access our most advanced technology. Without a formal AI diffusion rule, deals like this risk creating backdoor vulnerabilities for export control circumvention.”

The so-called “AI diffusion rule” represents export controls over chips with national security implications. Trump has limited exports of advanced AI chips to China but if they go to China through the Arab states the export controls will obviously fail.

Ironically, we are told the Big Business deals arranged by Trump for the Arab states are designed to freeze Red China out of the market.  Trump’s AI czar David Sacks said that there is no risk “with a friend like Saudi Arabia.”

Saudi Arabia is not a friend. The late Middle East expert Dore Gold wrote a book, Hatred’s Kingdom (2003), on how 9-11 was a Saudi operation. Al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden was a Saudi and 15 of the 19 skyjackers were Saudis.

Former Al-Jazeera reporter Yosri Fouda interviewed the al-Qaeda architects of 9/11, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and Ramzi bin al-Shibh, and co-authored a book about it entitled Masterminds of Terror.

Decades later, justice still has not been done.

The case of United States v. Khalid Shaikh Mohammad, the 9/11 mastermind, and other al-Qaeda operatives is scheduled for August 18 – September 5, 2025, at the Expeditionary Legal Complex located in Naval Station Guantanamo Bay (NSGB) Cuba. He is a Pakistani national who was based in Qatar.

Huawei had opened a cloud data center in the Saudi capital Riyadh back in 2023 and staged the “Huawei Cloud Summit” in Saudi Arabia in 2024. This is an outpost for espionage, including the theft of American technology.

NSA/CIA defector Edward Snowden had arrived in Chinese Hong Kong in 2013, before going to Russia, and his disclosures included documents on NSA surveillance of Huawei, one of many sources of hacking attacks on the United States and other countries. Not surprisingly, Chinese hacking attacks have been increasing since the Snowden disclosures because they now understand how the NSA spies on them.

Snowden exposed operations targeting China, “severing an intelligence capability that could have yielded a sustained flow of critical information on Beijing’s highly secretive leadership structure, deliberations, and decisions,” noted analyst Daniel McKivergan. “His actions also spurred China to overhaul its communications network.”

In addition to Huawei, Chinese companies Alibaba, China Telecom, Dahua, SenseTime, Tencent, and ZTE are also heavily invested in the Gulf Arab states. SenseTime is a Chinese state-owned artificial intelligence company headquartered in Chinese Hong Kong.

The Huawei presence in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, the last stop on Trump’s Middle East tour, was the subject of an investigative report by the Defense One website, which focuses on national security threats to the U.S. “The United States bases many of its regional forces within or near the same urban areas now wired by Chinese gear,” the report says.

Trump appeared before and spoke to U.S. forces at the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. It is already the largest U.S. military installation in the Middle East and Trump has announced its expansion, saying Qatar will invest $10 billion in the base.

The report by Tye Graham and Peter W. Singer reveals that “The United States still supplies the bulk of Gulf security, yet its presence now overlaps with Chinese telecom towers and cloud racks, a juxtaposition that complicates intelligence protection and crisis planning.”

The U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission notes that the Middle East is “a region of strategic importance to China”  and that it seeks to become the dominant power in the region while appearing content “for the moment to free-ride on the U.S. and allied regional security infrastructure.”

That means, in effect, that the Qatar base as well as U.S. arms shipments to the region will serve to protect Chinese investments in the Gulf Arab states.

Bring our troops home from Qatar

Viewed in this context, Trump’s last-ditch campaign to increase American involvement in the Gulf through Big Money deals with Arab oil sheiks will most certainly backfire by making it easier for China to steal American technology, monitor U.S. military forces in the region, and continue to scheme to dominate the world in collaboration with Russia.

We live in an increasingly crass and crude society today.  Sexual perversion and sexual innuendos are everywhere we look… from billboards on the roadside to popular music on the radio — (which you can’t avoid, because it’s even played over the speakers at your local convenience store and in public restaurants) — to every television program and movie to the hallways of our public schools, halls of government and the store window displays on the main street of your town.  One can no longer even walk through a public shopping mall without seeing what would have once been considered X-rated material, now proudly displayed as advertising and window dressing.

I remember instructing my children when they were teenagers, regarding their friends’ swearing and filthy talk and jokes.  At that age, you know, kids want to feel and act like “grown-ups,” so I told them that “GROWN UPS do not swear.”  My point was that swearing and filthy talk was immature and shows a person’s ignorance and stupidity.  I was quickly corrected by my kids, as all of them, nearly in unison shot back: “OH YES THEY DO!”  “Really?” I asked, “Grownups swear?  What grownups do you know that swear?”  Their response:  “TEACHERS.”  Yes, their public school teachers would use foul language that would make a drunken sailor blush on a regular basis — and that was many years ago already.  Nice role models, huh?

It’s very sad that this seems to be the way most Americans speak these days.  I hear it when I’m out in public just about every day now.  Young people, especially, cannot seem to complete a sentence without using the “F Word” anymore.  But many adults are no better.  Have you been in a store shopping and observed a mother with young children who are acting unruly — and she is swearing and cursing at them, thinking nothing of it?  I have.  And worse yet, have you seen young children — 4, 5 or 6 years old — throwing a temper tantrum and SWEARING at their parents, using some of the filthiest language you’ve ever heard?  How incredibly sad.  You know, they learned that from SOMEWHERE.  “Kids these days?”  What about “Parents these days?!”

What’s wrong with us, that so many speak such filth as part of our everyday conversations, and think nothing of it?  What ever happened to shame?

I remember when I was in high school — yes public high school — everybody swore.  The halls of the school were filled with vulgarity… and that was a very long time ago.  The teachers did nothing to stop it or to reprimand students speaking that way…  they just accepted it as “the norm.”  And I remember sitting with a group of people as we waited for the bus one day after school, and one guy saying, “Rob, what’s wrong with you?   You never swear.  Everybody swears.  But I’ve never heard you swear.”  I must have been about 15 or so at the time.  I explained that I just don’t do it and told him, “I never learned to swear.”  “Never learned to swear!” he exclaimed.  He couldn’t believe such a thing.  “You don’t have to learn to swear!  It’s just natural,” he said.  …Not for me, it wasn’t.

And as I stated earlier, now, from what I understand, schoolteachers themselves are using the same sort of language in front of their students, giving tacit agreement that such talk is just a normal way to express one’s thoughts and feelings.  Yeah, great role models we have.

I’ve also been in situations where I’m speaking with a friend and one of THEIR friends walks in and starts swearing up a storm.  It’s obvious that my friend accepts that sort of talk and probably participates in it as well, but because of who I am and what I DO, he’s embarrassed that his other friend would walk in and start swearing — not out of anger, just as part of normal conversation.  My friend then introduces me to the other person as a way to caution the guy to “watch your language”:  “This is Rob Pue,” he tells him.  “He’s the publisher of Wisconsin CHRISTIAN News.” 

Not so long ago, that statement would make the foul-mouthed person feel ashamed of himself, for swearing in front of a Christian.  You could see them shrink back and begin apologizing for what they said in front of me.  (Not that my delicate ears can’t handle it — as I said, I hear it constantly nowadays).  Just that people used to have a measure of conscience.  But no more.  If anything, learning that I work in full time Christian ministry just emboldens people now, to swear MORE….  as if to say, “who do you think YOU are that I should change my behavior in front of you?”  Our society has lost its collective conscience, our sense of shame.  We’re proud of what we should be ashamed of and ashamed of what we should be proud of.

It’s sad, because what that guy told me in school when I was 15 seems to be true now:  everybody swears.  Parents swearing at their children, toddlers swearing at their parents… foul language everywhere we go, as part of normal, everyday conversation.  You see it a lot on social media.  I find it very sad and especially disgusting when young teen or pre-teen girls curse and swear and use filthy language in their communications on Facebook.  Some of these girls list “The Bible” as one of their favorite books.  Some post pictures of their adventures at Bible camp or their church youth group — and then a ton of “selfie” pictures, trying their best to look “sexy” and “sexually provocative” along with an abundance of “F bombs” and other nasty language and presenting themselves as anything but “lady-like.”  Where are their parents?   Obviously, these young women learned this behavior and attitude somewhere.   And these, again, are very often professing CHRISTIAN young women.  I must wonder what they’re really learning in “church.”

God’s Word has a LOT to say about our speech and how we are to portray ourselves, as Christ-followers, to the culture around us.  But now, let’s be clear… now, we are talking about TRUE Christ-followers.  We can’t expect the carnal, worldly person to act like Jesus.  But if WE are the “real deal,” with the Holy Spirit living inside us, then it should take no effort whatsoever on our part for the world to see God IN us.  But if we’re false converts, fooling ourselves… that’s another matter.  We may be able to shut down our consciences and fool ourselves.  But we’re not fooling anyone else; and we’re certainly not fooling God.  As Jesus said in Luke 6, “…out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.”  So, what is TRULY in our hearts will naturally flow out, whether that be goodness and light, or darkness and filthy sewage.

The Psalmist wrote in Psalm 141:3, “Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;  keep watch over the door of my lips!”

 And Proverbs is filled with admonitions on how we are to speak.  Proverbs 10:  “The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut off.  The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked, what is perverse.”

And Proverbs 15:28b, “…the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.”  And of course, 18:21, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue…”

Jesus taught His disciples about these matters also and He warned in Matthew 12:36, “I tell you, on the day of judgment, people will give account for every idle work they speak.”  Also, Matthew 15:11, “It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.”

Then we have Ephesians 4:29, “Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.”

Ephesians 5 is especially instructive on this topic:  “But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;  Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.  For this you know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.  Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.  Be not ye therefore partakers with them.  For you were once darkness, but now are you light in the Lord: walk as children of light.  For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth; Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.  And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.  For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.”

When we become true Christians, following Jesus with His Holy Spirit living inside us, it’s just not possible for us to continue living our old, carnal lifestyles.  In Colossians 3 we are told, “But now ye also put off all these things: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.”  I just don’t know how one could be filled with the Spirit and speak like the devil at the same time.

We are not only smarter than that, but we are also better than that… we have, as Christians, the very Spirit of God within us.  That Spirit has come in and replaced the spirit of darkness that used to dwell there.  And as we learned in Luke 6, “…out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.”  So how, then, can a person have the heart of Christ and yet speak like the devil’s children?  Doing so makes us look stupid.  Every swear word a person utters as part of their normal conversation — to me — seems to lower their IQ by ten more points.  It also immediately reveals them to be phony “Christians.”  Having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof.  Quenching the Holy Spirit, if the Spirit was ever there to begin with.

In this day and age, where it seems “everybody swears,” please understand — even if that used to be the way you spoke, it doesn’t have to be anymore, once you are born again with the Spirit of Christ within you.  You’ve been given a new heart, your soul has been washed clean, your mind becomes the mind of Christ.  God’s will becomes  your will.  Why, then, would you continue speaking, acting, and portraying yourself as carnal and worldly when you should now be a NEW creation?  “Be not conformed to this world, but be transformed, by the renewing of your mind you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”  (Romans 12:2).

I pray this message has given you something to think about.  You may like to share it with someone who needs to ponder all these things as well.  And I pray that as we take the name of Christ, as CHRISTIANS, that we’re not taking our Lord’s name in vain — calling ourselves “Christians” while we really never had any heart-change and have never been born again by the Spirit of God.

As the world sinks deeper into darkness and depravity, chaos and confusion, some of those lost ones will soon be looking to US to find God.  I believe the hunger and thirst for righteousness will increase in these last days, at least among SOME, and those of us who name the name of Christ need to be set apart, our lives shining examples of what COULD be for those who are lost and seeking.  So let us represent our Savior and our Lord well.

My prayer is the same as that we find in Psalm 19:14, “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.”  Amen.

May 25, 2025

It seems to me that most Americans are now realizing that America is heading in the wrong direction. While we may disagree on the reasons why we are heading in the wrong direction, the fact remains we are heading in the wrong direction. In this article today, I want to present four reasons why America is heading in the wrong direction.

One thing that started us in the wrong direction is we are divided as a nation and the church is divided. Jesus said in Mark 3:25, “If a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.” A kingdom, a nation, a church, or a marriage divided against itself, cannot stand. America is so divided and so is the Body of Christ in America. Our enemies have worked hard to divide our nation and the church and if we won’t resist this division and work harder to unite us than our enemies did to divide us, we will continue in the wrong direction. No use for the details now; we either make the choice to unite or we will not stand! We must make the choice first: the Divided or the United States of America! When Satan is ignored and allowed to function openly without opposition, there will always be division.

The second reason for the wrong direction is a lack of knowledge. The Bible says in Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being My priest. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.” I want to contrast lack of knowledge with ignorance. Knowledge is truth on a matter and ignorance is not that you are stupid and cannot learn. Ignorance is where you have been taught the wrong thing or you have been lied to and you believe the lie or you have ignored a truth.

Think about this – the area in your life where you don’t know truth or have knowledge, how much of a hindrance is that to you and your loved ones? How bad is the little things you are overlooking hurting you, your family, or nation? Proverbs says we perish for lack of knowledge. Are we going to ignore that? Satan is not yet in hell as many think so he operates in our ignorance. Satan operates in what you don’t know. When you are ignorant of a matter and you come into agreement with Satan, Satan has permission to affect your life with sickness or whatever he desires.

Remember what happened to Adam and Eve when they came into agreement with Satan? And you “will” come into agreement with Satan if you don’t have the knowledge or truth of the Word of God on a matter. Remember the old saying, “What you don’t know can’t hurt you? That is a lie from hell! Terrible things can happen in what you don’t know. This is why the lies and deception of Satan are such powerful tools for him. Only knowledge of the truth can protect you from Satan and his ways.

I have never seen so much spiritual ignorance and lack of Biblical knowledge in our nation and in the church as it is today. We have absolutely no idea of the consequences of our ignorance on our everyday life. We depend too much on someone else for our knowledge. Today it is easy to believe a lie or be deceived. We are to study to show ourselves approved, dividing the Word of God. Most citizens or churchgoers have little to no knowledge of what is going on in this nation and why. Until we mature more and come to the knowledge of the truth, America will continue to go in the wrong direction. Our education systems in America are being used to destroy our seed and until we rid this nation of the Department of Education and give education back to the local communities, we will continue to head as a nation and church in the wrong direction.

The third reason for our wrong direction as a nation is we are ignorant of our Constitution and we are no longer living by it. It takes a moral and righteous people to maintain a Republic!! It is amazing how little we live by our Constitution as a nation and that is why we are heading in the wrong direction. Our Founding Fathers relied heavily on 700 years of blood bought history to form a Republic where WE THE PEOPLE HAD THE LIBERTY, POWER, AND AUTHORITY TO CONTROL THE Federal Government not the Federal Government having the power to control WE THE PEOPLE. They knew the repressive nature of a central government and what happens when that government gets too big and powerful.

When we abandon our founding documents and disregard our moral foundations as we are doing today, liberty is put in peril. One of the greatest deception and attack on our Republic has been the distortion of the very nature and framework of our governmental structure. Namely, the incorrect notion that the Constitution says the Federal Government in Washington, D.C. is the supreme boss over the States. In truth, it was not the Federal Government but the States and WE THE PEOPLE who were intended to retain the most power in our Republic.

The last paragraph of the Declaration of Independence gives us all we need to properly understand the difference between the modern misconception and the framer’s intent in regard to the Federal Government and the States. Our Founders saw our States as sovereign governments or nations just like Great Britain, France, or Spain. No mention yet of a Federal Government. If you read further in the Declaration of Independence, we can see even more evidence of the sovereign nature of these newly independent and sovereign States. It not only equates each new Sate with Great Britain in title but also in power, authority, and responsibility. “As Free and Independent States, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent States may of right do.” The States could close our borders if they wanted to!!!

So the nature of the States is that they are sovereign, independent, and free governments that existed prior to the establishment of a Federal or Central Government in Washington, D.C. Hopefully, before it is too late, the citizens of this nation will cast off their ignorance and discover that the solution to controlling the Federal Government lies in the knowledge and application of the sovereignty of the States which they have possessed from the very founding of this nation and before a Federal Government was formed.

So the long-term solution for the preservation of Liberty was to create a Federal or Central Government. It’s purpose would be to do as a single voice what the States would otherwise have to do individually. If foreign nations wanted to trade with our nation, instead of thirteen separate treaties and rules, this confederation of States in the form of a Federal or Central Government would allow for one treaty rather than thirteen. The intent of the Federal Government was to act in the States’ interests to protect and promote Liberty and prosperity within our borders. So the Federal or Central Government is a creation of the States by delegated power from the States.

The Federal Government was intended to be an agent for the States, not rule over the States. The key to understanding that the Federal Government has no sovereignty of its own outside the power “delegated” to it by the States. The State Legislatures will jealously and closely watch the operations of the Federal Government and be able to resist every assumption of power and to be sure guardians of the people’s liberty so said James Madison.

Perhaps you have now seen why we are going in the wrong direction. Since the 1900s, a process carried out by the Bankers Cartel, our Presidents, our Congress, our State Governments, our Judicial and our Universities to deliberately distort and increase our Federal Governmental powers. For years now our trusted politicians and institutions were moving us further and further away from the intent of our Founding Fathers. Until we get back to our Founding Documents, America will continue heading in the wrong direction.(Thanks to KrisAnne Hall for her book, SOVEREIGN DUTY)

The fourth reason we are headed in the wrong direction is we no longer seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.(Matthew 6:33) Notice Jesus did not say to seek Him first, but seek first His Kingdom. He is the Kingdom! Today we seek religion and a form of godliness. That is why we are heading in the wrong direction in this nation. So the best and wisest and most powerful man who ever lived – Jesus Christ made the Kingdom of God His message. He called it the Good News – the Gospel of the Kingdom. The “good news of the rule of God.” It is the only thing He called the gospel. “He went out preaching the gospel of the Kingdom.” (Mathew 4:23) He sent out His disciples to preach the gospel of the Kingdom of God. He used the phrase, “the Kingdom of God” or its equivalent a hundred times in the New Testament.

Jesus summed up His life purpose for coming to earth in these words, “I must give the good news of the Kingdom of God to the other towns also, for that is what I was sent to do.” (Luke 4:43) What did Jesus mean by this? He made it the first petition in the Lord’s Prayer, “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is done in heaven.” The second phrase explains the first, the coming of the Kingdom was the doing of the will of God on earth as it is done in heaven. How is that prayer working out for America with her churches on almost every corner? The rule of God has not come to America, Satan now rules America. Why is that? Because our churches don’t seek first the Kingdom of God; today we seek the church first but the church is not the kingdom. I’m going to make a statement here that every Christian in this nation is going to wish they would have seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and….all these things will be added to you.

What are all these things that will be added to you? The Kingdom has benefits but it also has consequences if you don’t seek it first. Our government at this very time is deliberately setting us up for a food and water shortage in this nation. What are these things that will be added to you! If you will go up to verse 25 in Matthew 6, you will see the context of what things will be added to you. Don’t be anxious for your life as to what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; not for your body, what you will put on. God takes care of the birds, lilies of the field, So, if you seek the Kingdom of God first, all these things, food, where you live, and clothing will be added to you. Do you get it church in America? If you seek first the Kingdom, all these things will be added to you!!! However, if you do not seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, all these things will be subtracted from you. In America today, these things are being subtracted by our government. HATH GOD REALLY SAID TO SEEK FIRST HIS KINGDOM?!! Yes, Yes!

Matthew 24:14, Jesus tells us just how important this Kingdom is to Him. “And this gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a witness to all the nations, and then the end shall come.” What? You show your ignorance when you declare Jesus is coming soon. We haven’t preached the Kingdom of God in this nation much less the whole world! Today pastors and church members seek the kingdom of Baptist, the kingdom of Pentecostals, the kingdom of Kenneth Copeland. Until HIS righteousness becomes OUR righteousness and we FORSAKE our Baptist or Pentecostal righteousness, we will continue in the wrong direction. This is why we are divided, why we are ignorant, why we can’t maintain our Constitution, and why Satan rules over us in America and not God. We are going in the wrong direction but if we will humble ourselves and repent; change our religious ways, God is a God of restoration and He will restore America!! God bless, I remain His warrior and watchman.

Memorial Day—which will be officially observed on Monday, May 26, this year — is a day to remember what should be remembered every day: The service and sacrifice of the more than 1.3-million American veterans who have given their lives in war so that we, their posterity, might live as free Americans. (See attached below a chart of casualties in all the wars from the War of Independence to Iraq and Afghanistan.)

Maj. General Patrick H. Brady (USA, ret.), Medal of Honor recipient (Vietnam), is considered to be America’s most decorated living veteran. Along with his daughter, Army veteran Meghan Brady Smith, Gen. Brady is the author of the memoir, “Dead Men Flying: Victory in Viet Nam, The Legend Of ‘Dust-off:’ America’s Battlefield Angels”). Gen. Brady reminds us on Memorial Day:

“We have no ‘titles of nobility’ under our Constitution. America’s ‘nobles’ are our veterans. On Memorial Day, what is most important, indeed, most vital, is that we remember, honor, and are grateful for, the courage, love, service and sacrifice of America’s veterans in defense of our freedom—especially those more than 1.3-million veterans who have given their lives defending our country. They are the soul of freedom, the guardians of our Constitution, and the vault for the values of our nation.”

Similarly, the late-General Norman (“Stormin’ Norman”) Schwarzkopf, Commander of forces in the Persian Gulf War (“Desert Storm”), succinctly stated an enduring truth: “Some things are worth living for. Some things are worth dying for. One of those things is freedom.”

We Americans of this era owe a great debt to those American patriots who came before us, veterans who gave their lives for freedom. We pay that debt to those Americans who came before us by what we are willing to do to preserve freedom for the Americans who will come after us.

Certain truths endure and must be recognized, perhaps especially on Memorial Day, if the American people are going to live in freedom. The first enduring truth is that freedom is not free. It has been purchased by the blood of American patriots, over 1.3-million of whom have given their lives in defense of our freedom.

The second enduring truth is that Americans will not remain free unless this and every generation of Americans is willing to fight and die if necessary in defense of American freedom— as all prior generations have done to preserve freedom. I attach below data on those patriotic veterans who have given their lives for our freedom in all the wars.

We Americans on this Memorial Day must honor those patriot veterans who gave their lives for our freedom, and we must ask ourselves: Are we Americans still a people willing to die to preserve freedom, as did those more than 1.3-million veterans who gave their lives to preserve freedom for us?

I attach also the great war poem In Flanders Fields. Although written in 1915 during the Battle of Ypres in WWI, it is as relevant, compelling, and moving today as it was then. This is most especially true of the final lines, which call on us to take up the “torch” of freedom from the falling hands of those dying, and warns: “If ye break faith with us who die/We shall not sleep, though poppies grow/In Flanders fields.”

If we are to remain free, we Americans must not “break faith” with those 1.3-million American veterans who have given their lives for American freedom.

May God bless and keep each and all of them; and may we Americans always honor and never forget them.

FOR GOD AND COUNTRY FOREVER; SURRENDER TO TYRANNY—NEVER!

FREEDOM IS NOT FREE — REMEMBER THE AMERICANS WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN WAR THAT WE MIGHT BE FREE:

In Flanders Fields

by [Canadian] Major John McCrae, May 1915, WW 1

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be it yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Either YOU OWN the property, or YOU ARE the property!

I don’t know how many of you had the opportunity to listen to President Trump’s speech in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia? I think it was one of the best ones he’s ever done, to date. Amazing speech. Here’s the link in case you want to listen.

The whole gist of the speech can be summarized is that America is open for business! America is not looking for War. America is not looking to spread Democracy. America is not looking to get involved with Arab culture. Your culture is your own. America is open for business and is looking for trade. Trade is what will make all of us strong. Once we are involved economically, the chances of War become minimal.

I was also amazed to see the amount of American flags, the pageantry and tribute to America that these new Middle Eastern partners displayed. Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince greeted President Trump personally on a royal purple carpet, flanked by a guard of honor, reserved only for most-favored guests. President Trump was escorted by a 6-fighter F-15 honorary jet escort by the Royal Saudi Air Force. Qatar escorted Air Force One with 8 fighter jets. The UAE awarded Donald Trump its highest civilian award available.

Playing the National Anthem was the icing on the cake. Then I thought, how sad it is that our schools don’t even bother displaying the American flag, let alone play the National Anthem. How Ironic. In our own country, patriotism is frowned on.

America has become the land of give me, give me, give me. And by the way, if you have it and I want it, I will steal and take what I want without any consequences. Bad behavior is rewarded. It seems as though there is never enough money and there is never enough power for the Elite. The only way they can keep it and get more is to lie, cheat, and steal. We have become the Land of Liars.

They lied about Biden’s health, and we knew it. Yet our impotent, incompetent RINO leaders refused to do anything about it. They allowed Leftist insane Marxist ideology of open borders, mega spending, loss of free speech and government controlled healthcare to rule. How can we allow any Biden policy to stand? Easy, do nothing and the RINOs will continue to fund his programs like the Green New Deal to subsidize China.

We will let them use programs like Sustainable Developments … aka 15 Minute Cities and Smart Cities … to herd us into walkable, NOT drivable, low emission neighborhoods … aka Prisons, Ghettos, or concentration camps.

EAT, LIVE AND SHOP WHERE YOU LIVE AND CAN WALK TO. HAIRDRESSER, GROCERY, DOCTOR – NOT WHERE YOU WANT TO GO BUT WHERE YOU MUST GO. With constant surveillance every step you take, every breath you make, every move you make, they will be watching you.

These evil people must strip you of everything you own – especially your home. My favorite movie was “Gone With The Wind.”

My favorite line: “The land is the only thing in the world worth working for, worth fighting for, worth dying for, because it’s the only thing that lasts”…..Gerald O’Hara, Gone With The Wind.”

Land is an asset which can be leveraged to accumulate wealth. We are considered subservient and cannot have wealth.

“We will have nothing and be happy.”

Never forget 2008. Billions of our tax dollars were given to the banks, who along with George W Bush created the mortgage melt down. The RINOS forced us into foreclosure by shipping our jobs overseas. Instead of giving each American the money to pay rent or mortgages, they gave our money to the rich bankers who foreclosed on us. Then they called us deadbeats. Today, they are making the taxes so high, people are being forced off their land. Nothing changes, unless we change it ourselves!

The contrast of the reception in the Middle East versus the Left in America is so staggering! It really shows the disdain and contempt that the Left and RINOS have for the American people.

You need to Sit Up and pay Attention Now! THIS IS DEEP!

“The common enemy of humanity is man. In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy then, is humanity itself.” – Club of Rome, premier environmental think-tank, consultants to the United Nations.

This is what they think of us, and teach our children!

Their ultimate goal is Depopulation. Still having a hard time wrapping your head around the real issue?

ELITES WANT AMERICA DESTROYED, AND THEY WANT US ALL…DEAD.

If you are not an Elite, you are a Useless Eater. You are using and hogging up resources that Elites feel only they are entitled to. You need to go die.

See this documentary: AGENDA: Grinding America Down

Then, take a look at this map, which we call the Death Map from Dr Michael Coffman. The Wildlands Project and UN Convention on Biological Diversity Plan to Restore Biodiversity in the United States

The United Nations lied to Congress, saying that Agenda 21 didn’t exist. Today, it is called Agenda 2030.

• Everything is connected
• Nothing is random
• Everything happens for a reason
• Everything is a LIE

So what do we do about this mess we are in?

1. Support President Trump
2. VOTE in the PRIMARIES and toss the RINOS out
3. Contact your legislators and tell them WE WANT DOGE CUTS
4. Don’t listen to the Lies!

Two huge international online retailers, Etsy and Amazon, are allowing their merchants to sell Assassination-promoting gear.

Read that and repeat, if necessary. It’s all true, as reported by several online news sites. There are, at this time, SEVEN PAGES of “8647” gear.

Crime has taken on the status of cult heroics

If you agree, that this is A-OK, please join the American Communist Party.

IF NOT, please contact both, and let them know your displeasure and disgust. I, personally will never buy from either again. Etsy, I gave up long ago, Amazon, I just emptied something form my cart, after I posted about this on X.

Not only is this hideously immoral, but also, is a violation of 18 U.S. Code § 1751. Under this law, it is a crime to even threaten the lives of our public officials.

Here is the contact information for both companies:

Texas stands at a crossroads, and the 2026 U.S. Senate race is shaping up to be a seismic clash that will shake the Lone Star State to its core. On one side we have Ken Paxton, Texas Attorney General, a relentless champion of conservative values and a loyal ally of President Donald Trump. On the other, John Cornyn, a fossilized relic of the Republican establishment, squatting in the Senate since 2002, delivering nothing but empty promises and betrayals to the people of Texas. This isn’t just a primary — it’s a battle to reclaim Texas’ future, and Paxton is the strike force we need to obliterate Cornyn’s reign of mediocrity.

Cornyn’s 24-year tenure in the Senate stands as a monument to failure. He’s done nothing for Texas—zero, zilch, nada. While Texans demanded bold action on border security, Cornyn turned his back, refusing to champion Trump’s border wall and siding with the D.C. swamp. He voted for a $95 billion foreign aid package, funneling our hard-earned money to overseas conflicts while Texas’s borders remain porous. He supported a bipartisan gun control bill after the Uvalde tragedy, trampling on our Second Amendment-protected rights. Cornyn’s record screams RINO. He’s a spineless opportunist who’s cozy with the Bush-era establishment, not the fierce America-First movement Texans crave. As Paxton declared on Fox News, “It’s hard to think of the things that he’s done good for Texas or the country.” Damn right.

Paxton, on the other hand, is a juggernaut. He’s a proven fighter who’s taken on the Biden administration’s lunacy—suing over immigration policies, abortion bans, and gender-affirming care for minors. He survived a sham impeachment in 2023, orchestrated by the same Republican old guard that Cornyn represents. Paxton’s acquittal by the Texas Senate was a middle finger to the establishment, proving his unshakable support among grassroots conservatives. Polls scream his dominance: a January 2025 University of Houston survey showed 36% of GOP primary voters favoring Paxton over Cornyn’s 32%. A Fabrizio, Lee & Associates poll had Paxton crushing Cornyn 53% to 28%. The latest Senate Leadership Fund poll, reported by Punchbowl News, has Paxton obliterating Cornyn 56% to 40%. The message is clear: Texans are done with Cornyn’s weak-kneed leadership.

Cornyn’s campaign is a desperate, flailing mess. He’s resorted to pathetic stunts, like posting a staged photo on X reading Trump’s book, trying to cozy up to the MAGA base he’s spent years betraying. Social media roasted him for it, with users on X calling out his blatant pandering. Cornyn’s team has the gall to call Paxton a “fraud” and a “conman,” but let’s talk facts. Cornyn’s been in office for over two decades and can’t point to a single transformative achievement for Texas. He’s a career politician who has mastered the art of doing nothing while collecting a paycheck. Paxton, meanwhile, has been a relentless force, taking on Big Tech, fighting voter fraud, and defending Texas’s sovereignty. His legal battles? A badge of honor, proof he’s a threat to the corrupt elite.

The X battlefield is ablaze with this fight. Posts from users of all hues trumpet Paxton’s lead, with the Senate Leadership Fund poll showing him crushing Cornyn by 16 points. Some called it a “landslide,” and they’re not wrong. Cornyn’s whiny response on X, claiming Paxton would lose to a Democrat, is laughable. He’s projecting his own weakness. Paxton’s grassroots support is a tidal wave, fueled by Texans who see him as a warrior for their values. Cornyn’s only defense is to sling mud, like his cowardly “Hard to run from prison, Ken” jab, referencing Paxton’s past legal fights—fights Paxton won, by the way, while Cornyn was busy cozying up to Chuck Schumer.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. Republicans hold a slim 53-47 Senate majority, and Cornyn’s allies are terrified that Paxton’s primary victory could cost them the seat. They’re mistaken. Paxton is the only one who can galvanize the base and maintain Texas’s red status. Cornyn’s baggage—his support for DACA, his vote to certify Biden’s election, his gun control betrayal—makes him a liability. A May 2025 poll from the Houston Chronicle indicated that Democrat Colin Allred could beat Paxton in a general election, but only by a razor-thin margin. Cornyn is no safer; the same poll had him narrowly edging out Allred. The difference? Paxton has the fire to rally conservatives, while Cornyn’s weak leadership would leave voters apathetic.

This race serves as a referendum on the GOP’s soul. Paxton embodies the future: unapologetic, Trump-aligned, and ready to challenge the D.C. establishment. Cornyn represents the past, a tired symbol of the Bush-era GOP that Texans have outgrown. As Texas Scorecard’s “Y’All Answered” poll indicated, 65% of readers support Paxton or other challengers over Cornyn. The Texas Tribune reported that Paxton’s approval rating among Republicans stands at 60%, overshadowing Cornyn’s disappointing 48%. KVUE pointed out that Cornyn is facing his toughest primary yet, and News From The States cautioned that Texas’s rightward shift spells trouble for the senator. Even Cornyn’s own allies, like Senate Majority Leader John Thune, cannot rescue him from the grassroots tsunami.

The days of “One nation UNDER GOD, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all” is simply a hollow meme from the past.  That nation, to which we pledge fidelity, is none of the things mentioned in the Pledge of Allegiance.

One nation UNDER God

Indivisible

With Liberty and Justice for all.

Words.  Those are simply words that they taught us to mouth in elementary school.  The American Government represents none of those values.  Zero.  NADA.  A total meaningless fraud.

America is a captured nation.  A nation no longer controlled by the Christians who founded it, but, as the Scriptures warn us, Evil men who have crept in unawares and have turned our nation into something that it never was intended to be.

A secular nation is a godless nation.  Although, according to recent studies at least 65% of Americans identify with some form of Christianity, (down from 80% a generation ago) our Government is atheistic.  That was decided by the SCOTUS in 1947 when they determined in Everson V Board that there was a “separation between the church and the state.”

Almighty God was evicted from his position of King of Kings and relegated to the role of just one of the many “gods” that Americans served.  This is the rotten fruit of the atheistic government-run indoctrination system controlling your LOCAL schools.

Jesus Christ, the most essential figure in the history of Western Civilization…the man by whom all time is measured around the world…BC  AD…is not even mentioned in your PUBLIC funded educational system.

Jesus is just another guy to hang out with…Buddha…Mohammed…Lucifer…pick your deity in modern American democracy…

If America was really a nation UNDER GOD, would it be important to identify whom that Deity might be?   The pledge says GOD…singular…not gods plural.  America has become one nation under many gods…or no gods…whatever floats your boat.

What makes a behavior or action “right or wrong”?  Who determines that?  By what standard do our judges and “lawmakers” base their decisions?  The Bible asks us “Can two walk together less they agree?”   What is the American standard by which right and wrong are measured?  We call that MORALITY.  What makes something moral…or immoral?  An unelected judge?   What is his/her standard?

Look.  Individuals are Christian…or not Christian…based on their system of belief.  Since the birth of our nation the standard of determining right and wrong has been the Bible.   Government morality is not determined by a vote of Congress, or a terrorist in a black robe, but by an eternal standard upon which a national government is formed.

America is a nation of majority Christian citizens now being ruled by an atheistic government.  Caesar is now KING over the American people.

There was a day in America when EVERY child in the “public” schools began the day by reciting:

“Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name.  Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.  Give us this day, our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.  For THINE is the KINGDOM, and THE POWER, and THE GLORY FOREVER.  Amen.

Every child.  Every school.  Every day.   Until the courts said we were violating the law….

I understand multi-culturalism.  I understand many different gods.  But by what standard is the American Government going to operate?  How about we taught every American child these simple rules:  Honor Thy Father and Mother, Don’t Murder, Don’t commit adultery, Don’t steal, Don’t Lie, Don’t Covet.  Aren’t those values good for atheistic children as well?

What if we demanded our elected officials do the same?  Did you know that 88% of Congressional members identify as Christian?  HERE.  Why don’t we demand that they act like it?

Can someone please explain to my why the Christian values of 88% of Americans are barred from the education of THEIR OWN children?  Why does a government of, by, and for, the people teach atheism to their children?

The Founders did get one thing right.  There IS a Separation between the church and the State.  But we have applied the premise in reverse.  The Christian God is OVER the government…not under it.

“The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.”  Psalm 12:8

To paraphrase Forrest Gump…Wicked is as wicked does.

Say what you want to about the depth of President Trump’s PERSONAL Christianity…I am not here to debate that…but he has clearly opened the door and welcomed Christianity back into our government.  No wonder the phonies in both parties are kicking against the pricks.

Will we accept the invitation?  Will a nation of Christians demand the obedience to Christian values from our government?  Will we begin again to teach Christian values to our children?

The ball is in our court.  Will the CHRISTIAN CHURCH answer the bell?  Stupid is as stupid does.

It started in the 1970’s with “Affirmative Action;” it continues in the 21st century with “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion.” It allowed unqualified American citizens of color or gender to gain jobs over qualified Americans who educated themselves, worked hard and proved their worth.

Those two entities proved to be the biggest cons in American history as to trying to offer equal opportunity. It started in the 1970’s with dumbing down America’s educational system. I know because I taught school during that decade and into the 1990’s.

It’s as though our leaders deliberately planted the seeds of illiteracy into the educational systems of America. “Let’s degrade our standards in reading, writing, math and science to such low levels that anyone can pass tests, and if they can’t, then pass them anyway,” said one teacher.

As an educator, I can vouch for the fact, that if you don’t learn the basics of your grade level, it leaves a hole in your learning curve. Once you cannot read or write at your grade level, you build your educational foundation on a house of cards. I saw it firsthand in the 1980’s when Detroit, Michigan’s dropout/flunk-out rate reached 88 percent as reported by anchor Brian Williams. It led to violence, horrible bullies, lying, cheating, stealing and academic fraud. It destroyed Detroit. That situation spread across the land.

Today, “In the United States, approximately 21% of adults have low literacy skills, translating to about 43.0 million people. This includes 26.5 million adults at level 1 and 8.4 million below level 1. Additionally, 8.2 million adults were unable to participate in literacy assessments due to language barriers or other reasons, further contributing to the overall issue. Roughly 54% of American adults, or 130 million people, lack proficiency in literacy, essentially reading below the equivalent of a sixth-grade level.”

If there is one marker for a successful society; it’s education. If you suffer an illiterate society, you face a failing society. Because, once a huge collective of society lacks basic education, everything begins to fall apart as to ethics, integrity, self-worth, critical thinking, job skills, shoplifting, and lack of personal accountability.

In his book, DEI Exposed, Stanley Ridgly said, “The DEI Con has enriched thousands of hustlers nationwide. It has embedded many hundreds of apparatchiks and supernumeraries in college bureaucracies, and it will require herculean efforts to root them all out…“Diversity” had already been around for many years, its hustler scratching at the university door. Not actual diversity, mind you, but the skin-deep diversity of noxious racialism tarted-up with fake Enlightenment discourse. This concept of “diversity, equity, inclusion” quickly metastasized until it was everywhere, and this was no accident.”

It was no accident that it was violence and the threat of violence that opened the door for this effervescence of DEI.

Ridgly continued, “This was the madness of crowds brought en masse onto the campuses, and it was wildly successful. It was one thing to the public, and it was another altogether when enacted on the campuses… It was the classic Potemkin village offering, with a façade masking a brute, racialist substance.”

“Already, “inclusive excellence” is supplanting DEI as this trusty acronym becomes freighted with failure. Con stories are essential to convincing gullible people to act in ways that simply make no sense to a normal person who is tethered to reality.”

On top of devolving our educational systems, we’ve got NGO’s sucking off the American taxpayer as exposed by DOGE and Elon Musk into the trillions of dollars, your tax dollars. We’ve got 400,000 anchor babies annually leeching off the American taxpayer’s wallet.

According to a new report from John Binder at Breitbart, there were roughly 400,000 anchor babies born in the U.S. in 2024 alone.

“An average of 400,000 anchor babies per year means around 1,100 anchor babies per day; this means more than 11 percent of births taking place on U.S. soil are individuals who are not legitimate citizens and have no right to be here.”

That means, according to writer Olivia Murray, “400,000 anchor babies means… probably 400,000 illegal alien mothers are now fast-tracked to their own citizenship, and we can assume a majority of these anchor babies also anchor an illegal alien father as well. For a very rough estimate, that means 800,000 illegals now have a “legitimate” reason to remain in the U.S., and if each woman were giving birth to one child, that’s 1.2 million people each year being grafted into American society through unscrupulous and unfair means.”

With the median cost of childbirth and postnatal care amounting to around $17,000, that’s $6.8 billion a year.

Murray finished, “That being said, there is no obligation, moral or otherwise, to continue with anchor baby policies—the parents must go home, and take their children with them. I refuse to give in to the gaslighting that somehow the plight of these foreign children is my burden and it’s on me to cede ground to lawlessness.”

In other words, the American taxpayer has been taken for a ride, not only stealing from his/her wallets, but additionally, severe destruction of America’s educational foundation. Again, you cannot teach our kids with 50 different languages in that classroom. It’s not our job as Americans to save the world.

Thankfully, President Trump has written an executive order to stop “birthright citizenship.” It shouldn’t be contested because it was meant for the progeny of freed slaves back in 1865. It does not apply to people breaking into our country, dropping their baby, and instantly be given citizenship, food, housing, school, medical care…essentially a free ride on your tax dollars. It’s been going on for five decades. May the Supreme Court justices bring the stupidity and insanity of “anchor babies” to an end.

It’s as stupid as our own House Members and U.S. Senators trying to stop deportations of rapists, killers, perverts and sex traffickers who have violated our borders. You cannot help but wonder what kind “moronic minds” fill the seats in Congress? Let it be known that U.S. Senator Van Hollen (D-MD) should be impeached for being an intellectual idiot, un-American, and stupid to the point of absurdity.

We desperately need a renewal of educational standards in America. You attend school. You pay attention. You study. You pass your tests. You become an educated 18-year-old. You go to college or technical school or job training programs. You become a contributing member of American society. You make yourself useful, viable, educated and fully responsible for your life.

That’s what the American Dream is all about!

“And the dragon was wroth with the woman and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” – Revelation 12:17

This last week, I was going through a news reel to see what was going on in the streets of America, and no surprise to me whatsoever, I heard a popular (Gatekeeper – keeping the people’s eyes on himself as the standard and not Christ; 1 King 13:33) “people pleasing” preacher (who loves the approbation: approval and praise of men; John 12:43) asking the question to his congregants as to where the church is right now.  Instantly, it made me righteously angry, and for good reason.  The Church of Jesus Christ is in the same place that it always has been, and that is on the move (James 2:14-26), bearing the reproach of Christ without the camp in seeking and saving that which is lost (Luke 3:19; Hebrews 13:13).

You know the ones I’m talking about; those Christians who are suffering unjust persecutions from the ungodly, enduring scoffing, mocking, trials, tribulations, death threats, and more!  These are those who are enduring hardships as good soldiers of the cross of Christ (2 Timothy 2:3).

They are those “Christians” who understand that it is not about hiding behind the four walls of the church in elevating self week after week in the face of biblically ignorant and entertained goats (Matthew 25:31-46), who do not take the time to search the Scriptures to know for themselves.  The audacity of him to ask where the Church is!

Again, let me tell you where the Church is:  The Church is in the same place they have always been, on the move, bearing their cross!

His lethargic and tolerant example has aided in its ostracization of real Christianity by leading his flock to do nothing more than remain impotent within the four walls, in following his lack of leadership (Psalm 78:9).

These are the same types of professors who did not reach out to add to our Christian endeavors.  Instead, they ignored us.  In fact, many of them rejected us for reaching out to their kids as they were dropping them off at the school gates to be illegally indoctrinated by their sworn enemies (Matthew 23:3).

Truth be told, they did not want their congregants to see what it was that they failed to do in the face of the Lord they claimed to have been serving (Numbers 13:30).  They made sure to safeguard themselves from seeing anyone that was doing just that.

Friends, the best way to raise up disciples for Christ is to emulate Christ (Matthew 28:18-20).

These are the same type of professors who would talk of how radical we were in obedience to Christ (Hebrews 13:7), but now, because their backs are up against the wall, he is left only to acknowledge the obvious, and that Christianity is radical and controversial (Hebrews 1:7). What a reproach.

“For our Gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.” – 1 Thessalonians 1:5

When I first entered the ministry by God’s call, not mine (John 3:6), I thought within myself that the Church, which is the body of professed believers, was going to be there to back us up in every step that we took when reaching out to high schoolers in assemblies across the country.  However, it was just the opposite. These are enemies of the cross of Christ.  Read Philippians 3:18-19.  They do not want to endure what genuine Christians have to go through.

As a side note, the school students in this country, from elementary to middle and high school, are the greatest demographic mission field (Psalm 2:8) in our country.  Despite this, trillions of dollars are spent on missionaries from the American church to go overseas to preach a message to foreigners that they fail to preach to their children in their backyards.  How hateful!

This is a lack of Christianity on this man’s part, though not just this man because it is prevalent across the country.

He is expecting the Lord that he claims to serve to do for him what it is that he is failing to do.  This is why he is asking, “Where is the Church?”

President Trump’s new “Post-Neo-Con” foreign policy is taking shape, and it has everybody confused.

The libertarian Senator Rand Paul has done some excellent work regarding the need to imprison Anthony Fauci, but his views on foreign policy are bizarre, especially in the case of Trump. He opposes Trump’s tariffs, which are smart measures short of war designed to punish our adversaries, but the Senator calls Trump the “pro-peace president” as he bombs the Houthi rebels in Yemen and fails to get Vladimir Putin to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine.

In the article  by Jack Hunter praising Rand Paul, which was distributed by the Senator himself, he ignores how Trump, without congressional authorization, bombed the Houthis into oblivion for opposing Trump’s new friends, the Saudis, and interfering with shipping in the Red Sea.

You may remember, since it was only a couple weeks ago, that Trump announced the U.S. would halt airstrikes on Yemen’s Houthi rebels, claiming they have surrendered.

Vice President J.D. Vance had pointed out that plans to bomb the Houthis would constitute “bailing Europe out again” because their shipping was more at risk from strikes from the Houthis than we were.

Trump went ahead anyway and bombed the Houthis, doing what the Europeans should have done in the first place. Most European nations refused to join a U.S.-led coalition to stop the Houthis.

The critical fact, however, is that the U.S. Congress has the power to declare war but none was declared in this case. Not even a “war powers resolution” in favor of the bombing was passed.

Article I of the U.S. Constitution and the War Powers Resolution of 1973 requires congressional action. None was given.

Yet Trump is supposed to be the “pro-peace” president and has abandoned the “neo-con” foreign policy.

The air campaign in Yemen began on March 15 without congressional authorization and Trump ended it on May 6.

All of this is fascinating because while Trump will exercise what he perceives to be his presidential powers to bomb other nations, he will not stand up to the U.S. Supreme Court when it infringes on that power. He has constantly deferred to the Court when it stops his lawful deportations of foreign terrorists.

Even more bizarre, W. James Antle, III, of The American Conservative published an article on how Trump has supposedly made a “clean break” with the foreign policy interventionists. He wrote that Trump “has recently announced a halt to the bombing of the Houthis in Yemen, the end of sanctions on Syria, the removal of a national security advisor seen as less than fully on board with his talks with Iran, and is otherwise trying to prevent another regional war in the Middle East.”

Ignored in this article is the fact that Trump started the campaign of bombing the Houthis.

The “end of sanctions on Syria” ignores the fact that the country is now run by a former al-Qaeda terrorist, Muhammad al-Jawlani, who donned a suit and tie and met with President Trump in Saudi Arabia and is personally backed by the well-known murderer, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Trump’s new friend, former al-Nusrah Front leader Muhammad al-Jawlani, was a “Specially Designated Global Terrorist” under Executive Order (E.O.) 13224. That is an executive order issued by President George W. Bush on September 23, 2001, in response to the attacks on September 11, 2001 and designed to identity terrorist threats to America.

Trump modified but never rescinded it.

In the case of Hamas, Trump’s representatives have been negotiating with these terrorists, to obtain release of American hostages held by that terrorist group.

Those who think Trump has somehow discarded the “neo-con” foreign policy point to his words, as cited by Antle: “The gleaming marvels of Riyadh and Abu Dhabi were not created by the so-called ‘nation builders,’ neo-cons, or liberal nonprofits like those who spent trillions and trillions of dollars failing to develop Baghdad, so many other cities,” Trump said.

Trump added, “Peace, prosperity, and progress ultimately came not from a radical rejection of your heritage, but rather from embracing your national traditions and embracing that same heritage that you love so dearly. You achieved a modern miracle the Arabian way.”

The “Arabian way” is the way of 9/11, carried out by the Saudis and inspired by the Saudi version of Islamic religious ideology and extremism.

As noted by Jack Hunter in his article praising Rand Paul, Trump “blasted the neo-cons” but did it “in front of a Saudi audience.” That seems mighty strange to me.

A “regional war” is already underway in the Middle East, involving Israel and Hamas, and Trump is in the middle of it, even advocating taking over Gaza as a U.S. property. And he is selling tens of billions of dollars of weapons to the Saudis, not to mention giving the green light to America high-tech firms to supply advanced microchips for AI to the Gulf Arab states.

His negotiations with Iran seem strangely like those conducted by Barack Hussein Obama.

Regarding another “regional war,” Trump is already in the middle of Russia versus Ukraine, as Vladimir Putin ignores Trump’s pleas to stop the war.  Trump will have no alternative but to impose more sanctions on Russia and sell Ukraine more weapons.

If getting deeply involved in at least two regional wars is evidence of an “America First foreign policy,” then the term has completely lost its meaning. And letting oil-rich Iran have a nuclear program, when it has no need for nuclear power, may lead to yet another war.

My fear is that Trump, the businessman and deal maker, does not understand international communism or global Islam. You can’t negotiate with terrorists and you can’t deal with Communists and Muslims who want to kill you.

Meanwhile, with Trump’s approval, the Congress is poised to pass a massive spending bill that will drive America further into debt and ultimate bankruptcy.

Is yours one? If not, don’t wait – don’t allow it

A Pennsylvania reader contacted us; he had heard rumors about a carbon capture pipeline (CCS) project that was supposed to be coming to Pennsylvania, and he wanted to know where it would be. He had asked officials but was told that there aren’t any in the works right now. My digging came up with a report called “Potential Near-Term Candidate CCS Industrial Facilities in Pennsylvania” (with estimated capturable emissions & range of capture costs).

But that information I received was vague – there were companies asking for information but not stating any interest to move forward. The best one gets is the official lines:

“While there are no commercial CCS projects operating or under development in Pennsylvania, there are some laboratory and small pilot projects underway.”

Right now, Pennsylvania should stop and be thankful that they don’t have one and immediately take action to make certain one never even gets put on the table. The Number 1 tool to protect your property rights and keep carbon capture pipelines away is to deny the use of eminent domain. Those putting in the pipelines want your property even more than they want the pipeline – it is just the camel’s nose under the tent.

1- We are just beginning to see the dangers of CCS.

2- While we have been informing people for over thirty years that there is no Manmade Global Warming problem because a) the Earth isn’t warming, and b) the whole myth of global warming/climate change was dreamed up by a faction who want to control all aspects of life on earth.

In the report on “Understanding carbon capture and storage prospects in Pennsylvania”, we are informed that, because the state ranked 4th in carbon emissions due to the Commonwealth’s robust fossil fuel-based energy generation and industrial economy, “Carbon capture and storage is critical to near-term decarbonization … .” “Carbon capture and storage is particularly important for decarbonizing hard-to-abate industries in Pennsylvania, including steel, cement, and petrochemical production. These sectors have few or no alternative decarbonization options due to inherent process emissions that occur during chemical reactions, such as the calcination of limestone to produce calcium oxide for cement or the ‘route for primary steel production.’”

But Pennsylvania has some critical hurdles to face before jumping into latest fad for reaching Net Zero – “a target of completely negating the amount of greenhouse gases produced by human activity, to be achieved by reducing emissions and implementing methods of absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Global net emissions of carbon dioxide will need to fall to net zero by 2050.”

While they potentially have enough capacity to sequester “the equivalent of all PA’s direct CO2 emissions, the study admits: However, these high-level estimates likely far exceed realistic commercial storage potential, as they do not factor in field-measured injectivity, which is the ease with which fluids like carbon dioxide can flow through geologic formations. To better understand and verify storage potential in Pennsylvania, a more detailed geologic assessment is necessary. This is accompanied by a table (Table 2) which provides a summary of “potential theoretical CO storage capacity in Pennsylvania’s saline aquifers. Note the words potential and theoretical. Those, in my opinion, are key words for this; they have mentioned that the area isn’t prime for carbon storage. The table even states: these formations are mostly characterized by very low permeability, which may make CO2 injection at commercially viable rates challenging. Existing data is limited, and additional data will be required to determine the viability of these formations for commercial-scale storage at large facilities”.

The bigger question here is “Why are states, why is anyone, still going to ways to mitigate CO2? The real science has long ago shown us that we cannot live without CO2, but that the plants and animals on this earth need it too. The answer is very simple – $$$$$$, and more importantly control – control of the entire world. AND we’ve know this from the very beginning. But no one wanted to listen – it was far more exciting to think that our world would end if we didn’t do everything we could to STOP GLOBAL WARMING. Even Al Gore knew. But money and power are the ultimate aphrodisiacs.

Numerous renown scientists spoke out against the hoax of manmade global warming. One of the first and foremost was S Fred Singer, who (to keep his resume short) was Professor emeritus of environmental science at the University of Virginia, founder and president of Science & Environmental Policy Project, and had been an early space researcher, first director of the U.S. National Weather Satellite Service. In fact hundreds of scientists spoke out against it – but the Left and its lackies, mainstream media and our federal government agencies held the power.

Another aspect is the history of Global Warming.

Even when the lies died in court, they stayed alive outside it. Remember “Exxon Knew”? It was a hot item. New York City sued Exxon Mobil, BP, and Shell oil companies for “misleading the public about their products, and their commitment to renewable energy and fighting climate change”. Supreme Court Justice Anar Patel found no proof the oil companies and the defendant American Petroleum Institute conducted “greenwashing” campaigns, including statements about clean energy and alternative energy, to boost sales of fossil fuel products in the city”. The NY Post’s article was titled “New York AG’s office totally disgraced itself in the Exxon trial”, but the Left, counting on most people’s ignorance of the outcome, has continued to use “Exxon Knew” to attack fossil fuel companies and those who supported them.

Today we are seeing a large portion of society with Eco-anxiety. Yes, really! It’s because the nonexistent man-made global warming hype has terrorized people for several decades. You don’t believe it’s been a lie? Would you believe a founder of Greenpeace? Dr. Patrick Moore admits it. He states, “One of my missions is to turn on its head that Carbon Dioxide is somehow dangerous, when, in fact, it is the most important nutrient for all life on earth and without this would be a dead planet. So, I say, not only is Carbon Dioxide good, it is essential”.

So, I will ask, WHY WOULD PENNSYLVANIA OR ANY OTHER STATE WANT TO ALLOW CARBON CAPTURE PIPELINES IN THEIR STATE?

The only reason I can dream up is kickbacks. Why would officials allow an extremely dangerous system to capture something that needs to be free-flowing in our atmosphere, put it under the ground (of which much of it was private property taken – with eminent domain if owners not willing to give it away – and where it can be near the home of the “former owner” and possibly explode!

Don’t believe me? Robert Powell sent me this video: WATCH HERE

We are looking at Pennsylvania, but Tom DeWeese pointed out to me that Washington, Pennsylvania is rather close to both Wheeling, West Virginia and Marietta, Ohio. Thus, people in both of those states should be working with their fellow sane citizens in Pennsylvania to see that no Carbon gets captured for any reason near them.

It is time to live with the truth, not lies. The truth isn’t used to steal our property. The truth will save billions of dollars, millions of eagles, whales and other endangered wildlife. And the truth will save human lives! How? By exposing the lies that cow farts and burps destroy Carbon Dioxide. We don’t need to eat bugs. By stopping the geoengineering that is destroying our atmosphere, our food crops, our water, and us. And think of all the money not being spent on poisonous chemicals that can be used to rebuild our treasury. And all the people who won’t have to have medical care for the poisons in their bodies. And all the money NOT spent on asinine Carbon Capture Pipelines, Solar and Wind farms.

Let’s live our lives without lies that tear us apart because one faction believes the lies and wants to trash Teslas and ban meat. I, for one, can’t imagine living without bacon and steak. I can’t afford a Tesla but would love to have my old Sunbeam Tiger to enjoy on the Tail of the Dragon.

If we could succeed in removing this huge lie, everyone’s life would improve, and millions of people could regain their mental health instead of believing the sky will fall if we breath Oxygen.

James Comey was in the UAE when he stacked the shells to read “86 47”.

What was he doing there? Vacationing?? Seems like a stretch, but let’s look. There are lots of other beaches around the world…and to be there just when our President is?? Yeah…

We can never forget that James Comey has deep ties to the Clinton Network; therefore, the Obama network. Therefore the Middle East. Is this all a coincidence?

Comey was nominated by Obama in his second term, which was the four years when Obama moved to put much of his anti-Americanism into play. He didn’t care; he didn’t have to make journalists tinkle down their leg at the sight of “America’s first black President”. Obama had our nation where he wanted them; eating out of his Muslim hand. And the country was hardly aware.

There is a sect of the Afghani Taliban, Haqqani, which calls for some thought here.

After Obama began his second term, the WaPost wrote, “Senior officials have repeatedly called the Haqqani network the most significant threat to the U.S. goal of exiting a relatively peaceful Afghanistan by the end of 2014 and have accused Pakistan of direct support for its leadership. The network has conducted a series of lethal, high-profile attacks against U.S. targets.”

Obama reluctantly designated them a terrorist organization in 2012; as I read it, it was mostly to keep critics at bay. Responsible for some of the deadliest attacks in the 20+ year long Afghani War, including suicide bombings an much more. They are part of the anti-India Jaish-i-Mohammed organization.

Never forget, Hillary Clinton was Obama’s Secretary of State. It was up to her to determine whether or not Haqqani met the criteria for a “terrorist organization.’ I can just hear the closed door strategy sessions between Hilly and Barry, as if they were recorded for posterity. . . .

The Haqqani Network has been active, since its beginnings, in the efforts to make Shariah the world’s religion. This is also Obama’s goal. But, the world needed to be “reassured”, I suppose. Hence the designation.

With the recent increase of tensions in the Middle East, including the Indian/Pakistani attacks, and Donald Trump’s incredible abilities to build on commonalities between people, it is entirely possible that the Haqqani is active. They may well be angry at Trump’s success in bringing the world together. To them, – and other supporters of Sharia – it would be an attack on their world-wide goals.

Never forget, James Comey is an Obama sycophant. In 2016, after Trump’s election, Comey said he was almost brought to tears, when Obama said, I want you to know that nothing — nothing — has happened in the last year to change my view,” I.e., the appearance of Trump at 1600 changes nothing. And, for “Obama & Co.” (Clinton, et. al.) nothing has. Four years of Trump 45 were diluted with constant impeachment activity; millions of dollars of our monies were wasted.

Then, old Joe was hoisted up the flag pole to dangle in our faces for a third Obama term.

It is quite feasible that James Comey is still active behind the scenes.

Nothing posted here is absolute proof of Comey’s possibly criminal 86/47 thoughts, but my Kat nose smells something foul. Would that it were just spring allergies, but we need to pursue the line of possibilities. The life of our Commander in Chief is far too important to disregard anything at this point.

You’re known by the friends you keep, mama always said. This is the wisdom of older generations, which the Marxists have been working furiously to remove. The older I get, the smarter my long-deceased parents have become.

James Madison, known as the Father of the Constitution wrote: “The Senate will be elected absolutely and exclusively by the State legislatures.” John Jay, co-author of The Federalist Papers is quoted: “Jay then informed Governor Clinton that, unlike the Senate, where the two-thirds rule was in force for treaties and impeachment, the lower house had nothing to do with treaties; it represented the people whereas the senate represented the states – for the Federalists always a significant distinction.”

The U.S. House of Representatives was to be the legislative body for the people. Each district within the states of the Union would elect an individual to Congress (Art. I, Sec. II) who would represent them under Art. 1, Sec. 8 of the U.S. Constitution. The framers were adamant that the states remain sovereign entities and have equal representation in Congress. Thus, the U.S. Senate would be comprised of two senators from each state. (Art. I, Sec. III)

Those senators would be chosen by their state legislature to go to Washington, DC to represent the interests of the state, not the people. If they didn’t, the state could recall them and choose a replacement. The Senate confirms federal judges and supreme court justices. The Senate must advise and consent to ratification of treaties that have been negotiated and agreed to by the President — Art. II, Section II, U.S. Constitution.

The framers of the Constitution wisely understood the absolute necessity of ensuring the people would have the right to vote for our representative in Congress, and at the same time because they all jealously guarded freedom and liberty, the states must also have equal representation. We the people would have the ability to remove – via the ballot box – miscreants and scoundrels while the state legislatures could recall their U.S. Senators who acted against the best interests of their state. The absolute right of the states to equal representation was wiped out when the Seventeenth Amendment was declared ratified on April 8, 1913. It was not.

From my January 16, 2012 column:  36 States Did Not Ratify 17th Amendment – What Will States Do?

“I once read a comment below a news item regarding former senate candidate, Joe Miller, [R-AK] after he came out supporting a repeal of the Seventeenth Amendment. The useful fool who submitted the comment said old Joe wouldn’t have to run for office and worry about getting beat. Miller’s opponent and alleged eventual winner, RINO Lisa Murkowski, opened the pie hole in her face: “…was the first to criticize Miller’s comments, issuing a news release entitled “Joe Miller reaching new extremes every day.”

“We have seen Joe Miller take some extraordinary positions in this campaign, but I never imagined he would support disenfranchising himself and every other Alaskan,” Murkowski said in a statement. “Joe is no longer content with simply taking away federal support for Alaskan families, now he wants to take away their right to select our United States senators.” (End of quote)

“Yeah, those who gave their lives and blood to create this republic reached “new extremes” when they voted to create two separate bodies for the U.S. Congress, one for the people and one for the states.

“Think Murkowski wants to give up her power as a U.S. Senator? When pig’s fly. That foolish hen votes for legislation that affects my life and I can’t vote her out of office.  Another dangerous female, Olympia Snowe, RINO from Maine, voted for the unconstitutional Obamacare declaring her constituents wanted it!  Well, I’m not her constituent and I sure as hell don’t want it. The vile, Charles Schumer, [D-NY] would like to see the Second Amendment wiped off the books and every time he votes for a bill, I have no way to send his “progressive” backside packing.”

[Note:  Snowe did not run for reelection so that RINO was finally gone. Replaced by ‘Independent’ Angus King.  Pro-killing the unborn, fund Planned Parenthood, supports the myth called Same Sex Marriage, legalize “recreational pot”,  believes America is a democracy, climate change hoax advocate, opposed more border security; long list On the Issues is here.]

RINO Murkowski, has been in office under a law that doesn’t exist for 27+ years.  The damage done by U.S. Senators since the non-ratified Seventeenth Amendment is enormous.  Angus King votes, allegedly for the people of Maine but bills he votes for affect me and I can’t vote him out.

Soros and McCain: The unholy alliance hidden in plain sight, May 16, 2025: “What started as a quiet alliance between George Soros and John McCain has now become a visible partnership between their heirs, Alex and Cindy.”

Apparently, the very wealthy Cindy McCain hates Donald Trump.   Went to work for career criminal and liar, Joe Biden; supported him in the 2020 stolen election.  Biden repaid such loyalty as Cindy was confirmed by the U.S. Senate to the rancid, corrupt UN as the Food and Agriculture Ambassador.

I sued the State of Texas in 2014 to keep senate candidates off the ballot.  It would take another whole column to give you all what happened in court, obscene, but the bottom line is the judge (brought out of retirement to hear my case and one civil injury quickie appearance) in a huge, empty court room said no one was interested because it happened so long ago; fraud was okay with da judge.  I appealed to the appellate court in Austin and those cowards issued their blather and that was that.  No sense in appealing to the Texas Supreme Court for obvious reasons. The best we can hope for is, like prohibition, get a constitutional amendment passed to abolish the Seventeenth Amendment.

Oct. 12, 2014  Lawsuit filed: Seventeenth Amendment not ratified

The Constitution of the United States – Article V: “The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.”  How about states out of session during that entire coup?

A Con-Con (as in con job) is NOT necessary to get a constitutional amendment passed by the states.  An Article V Convention would be the final nail in our coffin.  National Archives:  Constitutional Amendment Process: “The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures. None of the 27 amendments to the Constitution have been proposed by constitutional convention.”

The damage done to our republic after the Seventeenth Amendment was declared ratified could easily be a 500-page book.  I did put up a ‘help’ page for state legislators so they could get a fresh perspective regarding that amendment.  The Seventeenth Amendment:  A Cancer on our Constitutional Republic last updated in 2010 so yes, I’ve been on this for decades.  Of course, one of the big problems is the ubiquitous “our democracy” propaganda. [1]

Practically from the first day Trump took office, junkyard dogs behind the scenes were already plotting to get rid of him.  Trump started nominating judges at the federal level which have to be confirmed by the Senate as well as the Supreme Court.  Then old Joe who was nothing but an empty suit with obvious advanced dementia (I think first ages of Altzheimer’s) in 2020[2] took his turn and here we are today.

 Lawsuits against Trump right now are like Niagara Falls – more than 100.  And who’s hearing the cases?  Federal judges that have shown exactly how partisan they are and disgracing their profession.  Just the same as happened during Trump’s first term.  One can hardly keep up with all of them – even me; I spend a lot of time reading and researching.  A lot.

As what happened with my case in the Texas “legal” system, there will never be an acknowledgement the Seventeenth Amendment was short two states and therefore, was not legally ratified.  However, it will be up to We the People AND our state legislatures who need to grow a spine to get a constitutional amendment passed into law.  Need only be two sentences.  Henceforth, the Seventeenth Amendment is hereby abolished effective Dec. 31 of whatever year.  State legislatures can decide if the “incumbent” senator should be chosen to continue in DC.

Think NAFTA would have passed had there been no Seventeenth Amendment?  Not a chance and the same goes for GATT.  Rotten damn treaties that destroyed our most important job sectors:  manufacturing, industrial and agriculture.  NAFTA’s replacement is such poison we have to get out of it[3][4].  Whoever was advising Trump on the “USMCA “Trade Agreement” should be shown the door and don’t come back.

The effort to abolish the Seventeenth Amendment is bigger than people know and why don’t they know?  The prostitute media (print, Internet, boob tube, cable, radio talk shows) make sure – just like they deliberately lied about Biden’s mental absence – the subject never comes up.

Our Founding Fathers made it difficult to amend the Constitution but it’s been done 27 times.  Congress may submit a proposed constitutional amendment to the states, if the proposed amendment language is approved by a two-thirds vote of both houses.

Of course, this presents a problem as a whole lot of current senators fear their state legislature would not choose, he/she, if the Seventeenth Amendment was abolished and the states regained their power and sovereignty.  I have NO doubt had the 17^th Amendment not been in effect at the time, we would have seen different judges and Supreme Court Justices over time and we sure as hell would not be seeing this AVALALANCHE OF LAWFARE/LAWSUITS AGAINST TRUMP RIGHT NOW.

I have NO doubt John McCain would have been recalled by the State of AZ and numerous others had the fraudulent Seventeenth Amendment not been on the books.

Could such an amendment to abolish the Seventeenth Amendment ever pass?  Perhaps the American people who are sick and tired and fed up with what they’re seeing – again – will DEMAND CON-gress introduce the amendment so  Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, can get it distributed to the 50 states.

How about state reps and senators?  Think state reps and senators don’t know U.S. reps and senators?  Of course they do.  The Republican Party holds state conventions and getting the Seventeenth Amendment abolished should be right at the top of the list of priorities:  Have the state legislature put together a demand CON-gress introduce an amendment to the U.S. Constitution.  Aren’t states tired of being a door mat, basically castrated by the U.S.  Senate on so many critical issues? 

Sad to say but here in Texas our legislature which only meets every other odd year for 140 days has pretty much been ignoring the top priorities of the GOP state conventions.  Primarily due to rotten, corrupt RINO’s as Speaker of the House who put Democrats as head of committees.  Ultimately, it’s going to fall to We the People in every state to demand this gets done or we will continue down the road to Hell despite Trump’s best efforts.  And BTW:  Why aren’t the big names on talk radio (Sean Hannity, Clay & Buck and others) talking about this?  Forget filling air time about the 2026 mid-terms all the time or complaining about the judges.  There is a solution and that is abolishing the Seventeenth Amendment.

Yes, a state could choose a rotten, corrupt politician but it’s much easier to primary out those in the legislature who sent another Marxist, RINO or member of the Democrat/Communist Party USA to the U.S. Senate.  That would send a powerful message to incumbents.

My daily email in-take is overwhelming.  Sincere Americans send me links to videos “you must watch” or TikTok clips that are pretty much worthless (altho’ I love the doggie ones.); bear with me on this.  Too many videos give no time, date, context, just like this one:  Pam Bondi Exposes Judge Boasberg’s Secret Deal—The Room Goes Silent Instantly!

The person reading a script gives no facts, no date and how would he know exactly what went on behind closed doors or even in the court room?  Nothing to enable one to confirm the veracity of this tale told.  Interesting but in the end, it was a waste of 32 minutes of my time, but thousands of people watched it, believe every word without any identifiers.

Let me give you a quick example as a warning.  Devvy – gotta watch this video!  Homeless Veteran On Trial Until Judge Heard His Name And Stood Up In Silence.  I go to the link, watched about five minutes.  Stop; someone reading a script.  Read the comment section from caring Americans about this “former Marine, highly decorated” and so forth.  Then I read the text below the video, “This is one of those touching stories that remind us of what truly matters…See more.  I did and it says:  DISCLAIMER: This is a work of fiction created for entertainment purposes only.

So, you see, it’s a fake made up story but to watch even a few minutes it looks and sounds so real.  The big print giveth, the small print taketh away.  Those who watched it with caring compassion have no idea unless they did what I did and read the See More.  They were suckered into watching a fake story and no doubt passed the link along to others.

There are excellent videos and documentaries out there; I don’t have a list of every single one but do the best I can in judging what is more Q nonsense and which are important for Americans to watch.  After over three decades, I can usually spot the junk within a few minutes.  The two below are absolutely worth your time so I hope you will watch them and share everywhere.

“Our lives consist solely of trade-offs,” is a truism that is not entirely obvious. But most decisions are made from multiple options and choices. Some options will be better than others, some get cataloged as, “no choice at all,” and still others are fairly easy choices.

“It is never a good plan to increase taxes” is a political truism that should be obvious.

This is why the famous phrase, “Read my lips: no new taxes,” is so apropo. George H. W. Bush, rightfully spoke this truth as a pledge to American people that he would not allow them to be taxed any further. At the time this was an important stance for the leading presidential candidate at the 1988 Republican National Convention to make.

Raising taxes is a losing issue. Candidate Bush knew it; his speechwriter knew it; the American people knew it; and, Democrat Presidential nominee Bill Clinton knew it. Thus, Clinton successfully turned this truism into victory in the 1992 Presidential election.

The political elites imagine, “this is what the people wanted!” Yet, there are very few people who are in favor of having their taxes raised. They can only be convinced to vote for tax increasing bonds and ballot measures through incessant ad campaigns and political strategies that push the narrative that “the sky is falling or will fall” if we don’t fund this or that proposal. Think of the mindless global warming scare tactics.

Just look at the taxes being dreamed up by the Democrat party who control both chambers of the Oregon legislature. As representatives, they think of themselves as those who know best. Yet they know nothing about your personal or business finances, let alone anything about your family’s needs.

These politicians are extremely proud that Oregon does not have a sales tax. Unbeknownst to the public, this subtle virtue keeps the taxing authority within the legislature. Meaning, the Oregon’s legislature gets to pick and choose what to tax and at what rates. For example, there are sales taxes on all sorts of things, like, cars (internal-combustion or electric vehicle), tires, bicycles, trees, harvest activities, vape products, tobacco, beer, wine, marijuana along with others.

Being dyed-in-the-wool statists who apparently look forward to the time when state control will destroy our voluntary choices, they are disillusioned with conservative prudence. They also dislike our skepticism of big-government solutions so they continually work to drain economic resources from the private sector while transferring those resources to the public sector through their onerously contrived tax policies.

This overall assault on our private wherewithal is partly why local economies suffer the same fate as our state’s economy. Both state and local governments spend beyond their means so that their respective revenue problems arise from too much government, not too little.

Public sector and public service costs keep rising because of public employee union wage increases and the increasing costs for supplying training, certification, equipment and the financial burdens of the bureaucracy. These costs keep increasing because of raises, COLAs, and PERS benefits along with forced minimum wage increases in the private sector. In turn, this leads to product shortages, cost boondoggles, rent-seekers and everyone trying to pick everyone else’s pocket, via legislative intervention.

This is partly why over 4,000 bills were introduced in this 2025 legislative session. Many of these bills were trying to protect some segment of society from being ravaged by regulatory burdens while others were just rackets or economic carve-outs which are being forced into law by Oregon’s Democrat majority.

This phenomenon is part of George Orwell’s eerie genius in his book, 1984. In this cautionary tale he clearly expresses the uncanny notion that once the passion for power takes hold it will animate the coming bureaucracy.

Orwell recognized that a new aristocracy would be sculpted from the bureaucrats, sociologists, teachers, and regulators in the salaried middle class and the upper grades of the working class. His novel paints a bleak future arising out of the ideology brought together by the barren worlds of centralized government and their regulated industry classes.

The new bureaucrats were supposed to be less avaricious, less tempted by luxury, less hungry for raw power, and, above all, more conscious of what they were doing. Their efforts were supposed to be balanced by their moral superiority and thus they could lawfully become more intent on crushing opposition. Think lawfare.

In Soviet Russia this job was delegated to a bureaucrat who was known as a commissar. The commissar was not only a regulatory official but was also responsible for political education and organizational adherence. This job title recognized that the administration of laws in modern states carries with it enormous political power.

In the US, we have long expected better. We expect bureaucrats to protect us from all of life’s contingencies. Yet, simultaneously, we know this is something they can’t possibly do, but we fall for the false promises. Thus, we leave ourselves defenseless against our so-called “protectors”.

The time has come to, just say, “NO!”

What can you do?

First, don’t tax yourself into poverty because you think it might help. It doesn’t. Frugality is your friend.

Second, don’t approve local tax levies or new taxing districts out of fear that “the sky is falling” or someone might call you a cheapskate.

We exercise frugality in our homes and businesses and we must demand nothing less of our local, state and federal government.

This commentary may give you a sneak preview into the future of America’s civilization. It’s based on the facts that we know, and the coming facts that our children will endure or perish from, because we didn’t take action to change the course of history. Everything I write about stems from my lifetime of world travel across the planet. I’ve seen countries that failed to change course. We cannot afford to follow them down the same rabbit hole.

Since Earth Day 1970, we humans have kept digging a hole for ourselves: ever deeper, ever wider, and ever more dangerous for ourselves and our children.

Did you notice that dozens of tornadoes ripped up Colorado, Illinois, Missouri, and Kentucky over the weekend? Did you notice two dozen deaths along with massive property damage? Did you notice the destroyed lives through all the rubble presented on the major news networks?

Do you remember the hurricane that destroyed Mexico Beach, Florida all the way into South Carolina several years ago? I witnessed them on a bike trip right after they occurred. You cannot get your emotional arms around such disasters until you see them firsthand. Everything gets pulverized in the wake of a tornado or hurricane. Katrina showed us Nature’s wrath on a scale beyond imagination.

Did you notice that in the summer of 2024, the heatwaves scorched the southwest of America. Death Valley hit 130 degrees F. I’ve bicycled through Death Valley at 116 degrees. It’s like riding through Dante’s Inferno with no letup. At 130 degrees, I’m sure I would have shriveled-up like a prune and died. Heat rages over 120 degrees daily in Arizona in the summer.

Wildfires burned hundreds of thousands of acres California, Washington State, Oregon, Arizona, New Mexico…all the way to dozens of wildfires in North Caroline, Pennsylvania and beyond. Those fires destroy homes, cars, buildings, schools, and entire cities.

LET US CONNECT THE DOTS

What am I getting at?

Whether or not you accept or reject “catastrophic climate destabilization” a.k.a., “climate change”, you must understand that humans, at 8.2 billion of us, are burning 100 million barrels of oil every single day of the year. We’re burning millions of tons of coal and wood annually. We’re injecting millions of tons of carbon into the atmosphere beyond anything EVER realized on this planet since that last meteor hit 65 million years ago—and snuffed out 97 percent of all life. That carbon falls into the oceans. It changes the oceans’ temperatures, which in turn, changes the dynamics of the air, which then creates massive hurricanes and tornadoes when hot and cold air collide.

Additionally, such massive carbon footprint changes the alkalinity of the oceans into acidity. Which, in turn, kills reefs and destroys the ecology for all living things in our oceans. That’s why we’re seeing horrific species extinction rates of over 100 species vanishing from the planet, DAILY!

What about here in the USA? Well, our population stands at 340 million. We’ve added a whopping 40 million, plus at least another 25 million illegal migrants since October of 2006 when we reached 300 million. We’re on course to jump “officially” from 340 million to 371 million (lowest projection) by 2050. That’s 31 million more humans that will be crowding into every lick of land in America. If we hit the middle population projection of around 400 million just past mid-century, which we will definitely reach, that’s 60 million more of us. Top demographic experts tell us the United States, at current growth levels driven by immigration and birth rates, will hit 675 million by the end of this century. That’s a mere 75 years.

Can you imagine how those numbers of humans burning fuels in the USA will contribute to MORE DAMAGE to our landscape? It’s going to get hotter and dryer. More wildfires will scorch the landscape. But it’s going to destroy millions of lives from people living in homes engulfed by the fires or hurricanes, and tornadoes.

In other words, we keep driving the ecological disasters that destroy us by adding millions upon million of humans that drive the reasons for those disasters.

At some point, those disasters will accelerate as our numbers accelerate. That’s just the climatic disasters! Can you imagine jamming our mega-cities like New York, Chicago, LA and Atlanta into even more population overload? What happens when we cannot supply water to them? What about when gasoline is exhausted? How do you feed THAT many people concentrated into such tiny places?

How do you keep up with ground water pollution? How do you keep up with exhausted acquirers? How do you deal with over 1,000,000 roadkills daily…when it reaches 2,000,000 roadkills daily? What about quality of life? What happens when our 800,000 homeless citizens become 1,000,000 homeless citizens? What happens when our 40 million people subsisting on food stamps becomes 100 million people subsisting on food stamps? I could name another dozen nightmares we’re facing as a civilization.

How about the “high speed” insanity of our frenetic society that’s driving our kids to “live” in their cell phones?

Does anyone in America understand what’s coming? Do you realize that we’re painting future generations into a corner? From which there is no escape?

If we continue to import the rest of the world to our shores, we are importing the world’s troubles, violence, misery and massive overpopulation to our shores. Along with that, we’re importing our own demise as a functioning and sustainable civilization. What’s coming stems from the sheer numbers that cannot be sustained.

Have I connected the dots well enough? Why aren’t the top networks addressing what we face? What do they hope to accomplish by keeping the American public in the dark? Why wouldn’t a sane-rational-educated-proactive civilization change course toward a sustainable future? Why can’t America be an example for the rest of the world…by changing course?

Why would we want to repeat China’s population nightmare? Why repeat India’s population nightmare? Why? Why? Why?

THE GREATER OUR NUMBERS; THE GREATER OUR CONSEQUENCES

“Whether we accept it or not, this will likely be the century that determines what the optimal human population is for our planet. It will come about in one of two ways:

Either we decide to manage our own numbers, to avoid a collision of every line on civilization’s graph – or Nature will do it for us, in the form of famines, thirst, climate chaos, crashing ecosystems, opportunistic disease, and wars over dwindling resources that finally cut us down to size.” ― Alan Weisman, Countdown: Our Last Best Hope for a Future on Earth?

A far-left New York publication called “The Indypendent” is helping organize resistance to the Trump Administration, which it calls the “Trumptatorship.” Its May issue calls Trump a bully and is headlined, “Fight The Bully.” Yet, this “bully” is being pushed around by the U.S. Supreme Court, and all that this “bully” can do is rant and rave.

After the Supreme Court issued another 7-2 ruling against his deportations, he said, “The Supreme Court has just ruled that the worst murderers, drug dealers, gang members, and even those who are mentally insane, who came into our Country illegally, are not allowed to be forced out without going through a long, protracted, and expensive Legal Process.”

“The result of this decision will let more CRIMINALS pour into our Country, doing great harm to our cherished American public,” Trump continued. “It will also encourage other criminals to illegally enter our Country, wreaking havoc and bedlam wherever they go. The Supreme Court of the United States is not allowing me to do what I was elected to do.”

Once again, the Supreme Court has made a mockery of our constitutional republic. It has intervened in a matter beyond its jurisdiction. But Trump is listening to his lawyers and deferring to the courts.

The only “dictatorship” we should fear is of a judicial variety. Judges are not given the power to conduct foreign policy.

Speaking of foreign terrorists on American soil, consider the news release from the Department of Justice about a “Michigan Man” who was arrested and charged with “attempting to attack” an American military base on American soil on behalf of ISIS.

As Trump was touring the Middle East and making deals with the Arabs, a former member of the Michigan Army National Guard was arrested “after he attempted to carry out a plan to conduct a mass-shooting at a U.S. military base in Warren, Michigan, on behalf of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), a foreign terrorist organization.”

His name is Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said and is a 19-year-old U.S. citizen who made a pledge of loyalty to the new ISIS head, the “Chalifa” of ISIS (Abu Hafs Al-Hashimy Al-Qurayshi).

Trump says he defeated ISIS during his first term. But the terrorists keep popping up, even in America. Perhaps there is something in the Middle East that inspires them.

In fact, ISIS is still active in the Middle East and is a Sunni Muslim group, operating with the same Islamic ideology that motivates the Arab Gulf states as well as al-Qaeda.

On October 27, 2019, Trump had announced the death of ISIS Leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, saying, “He died after running into a dead-end tunnel, whimpering and crying and screaming all the way.” Trump called al-Baghdadi “a sick and depraved man, and now he’s gone.  Baghdadi was vicious and violent, and he died in a vicious and violent way, as a coward, running and crying.”

Saudi Arabia claims it has been a leading partner in the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS. But Wahhabism, the strict form of Islam originating in Saudi Araba, inspires ISIS.

As Trump was addressing the Saudi-US Investment Forum at the King Abdulaziz International Conference Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on May 13, that ISIS terrorist in Michigan was being arrested for planning “a mass-shooting at the U.S. Army’s Tank-Automotive & Armaments Command (TACOM) facility at the Detroit Arsenal in Warren, Michigan.”

How many more like him are in America, either as citizens or illegal aliens?

Meanwhile, back in Saudi Arabia, Trump recognized a new terrorist regime in Syria and met with Syria’s new president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, described as “a former Jihadist” once hunted by the U.S. with a $10 million bounty on his head for his involvement with al-Qaeda.

Look at the wanted poster for this Jihadist and then compare it with his photo during the meeting with Trump. He trimmed his beard and put on a suit and tie.

Then look at the president’s visit to Qatar, and the extravagant state dinner the Arab oil sheiks held for him, attended by “some of his most glamorous aides and a slew of TV stars.” There is glamour in black gold.

The president is getting some very bad advice in foreign policy matters, just as he has been led astray regarding the Supreme Court’s veto power over his deportations.

You know there’s something wrong when the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) journal Foreign Affairs runs an article praising Trump’s dealings with the Arab states.

You also know there’s something wrong when Deep State mouthpiece and CFR member David Ignatius writes in the Washington Post that Trump’s Middle East diplomacy “has yielded some surprising gains.”

Remember it was Ignatius who used top-secret surveillance intercepts of communications to derail the nomination of Michael T. Flynn, a former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), as Trump’s national security advisor in his first term. Flynn had opposed the Obama policy, carried out by John Brennan’s CIA, of supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamic terrorists in the Middle East.

It now looks like the United States is back in the “dirty wars” business in the Middle East. Although the oil dollars and their investment in the U.S. look attractive in the headlines, nothing good can come from deeper U.S. involvement in this dangerous region of the world, where Sunni and Shiite Muslims battle for world domination and plan the destruction of Israel and America.

To make matters worse, Trump thinks he can make a deal with the Ayatollahs of Iran.

Qatar, the second leg of Trump’s trip, has a notorious history, having hosted the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) and other terrorist groups in the region. It even harbored its spiritual leader, Yusuf al-Qaradhawi. Qatar also hosted and financed 9/11 mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, along with other terrorists.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who is currently in U.S. custody in Guantanamo Bay for acts of terrorism, lived and worked in Qatar but was allowed to leave for Pakistan as U.S. authorities were trying to apprehend him, according to the report of the 9/11 commission. He went to Pakistan and cut journalist Daniel Pearl’s head off. Pearl was kidnapped while investigating the al-Qaeda networks in the Middle East.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed proudly confessed to a U.S. military tribunal that he decapitated with “my blessed right hand the head of the American Jew, Daniel Pearl.”

These are dictatorships in the Middle East Trump is dealing with.

American Senators who included Marco Rubio, now Trump’s Secretary of State, had introduced a resolution holding Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), personally responsible for the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi dissident who was dismembered after he entered the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey.

President Joe Biden had promised to hold Saudi Arabia accountable for Jamal Khashoggi’s murder. Instead, he gave MBS immunity. Now he is Trump’s friend and his country, the source of most of the 9/11 terrorists, has benefitted from a massive sale of modern weapons.

“Underscoring our commitment to strengthening our defense and security partnership, the United States and Saudi Arabia signed the largest defense sales agreement in history — nearly $142 billion, providing Saudi Arabia with state-of-the-art warfighting equipment and services from over a dozen U.S. defense firms,” says the White House.

The White House added, “Our defense relationship with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is stronger than ever under President Trump’s leadership, and the package signed today, the largest defense cooperation deal in U.S. history, is a clear demonstration of our commitment to strengthening our partnership.”

We have a “bully” president who obeys the orders of the Supreme Court and practices “the art of the deal” with those regimes whose ideology motivates the Islamic terrorists.

Meanwhile, his so-called “Big, Beautiful” bill in Congress is facing conservative opposition in the House and Senate because it fails to curb federal spending and reduce the debt.  That has already led to a decline in America’s credit rating.

What is more, the highly respected analyst Gordon Chang says Trump’s dramatic reduction of tariffs on China represents a “win” for the communist giant.  That win for China was engineered by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, a former financial manager for the George Soros hedge fund.

Trump’s America First agenda is being smothered by Black Robes, Red Ink, and Red China.   The “bully” must break out of his shell.

Sometimes good news can be presented in an unusual way that reaches the hearts and minds of people, causing them to pause, consider, and receive a hope that transforms their lives and the lives of many others.

Amistad is a 1997 American historical drama film, a true story based on the events that took place in 1839 aboard the Spanish slave ship La Amistad and their aftermath. Mende tribesmen, who were abducted from Sierra Leone and being transported off the coast of Cuba to a port for sale, managed to break free of their shackles and gain control of the ship. The ship was later captured off the coast of Long Island, New York, by a U.S. Revenue-Marine vessel, and the Africans were held in custody for trial. They were charged with mutiny because some of their captors were killed as they took over the ship. It would also be determined in court to whom they would belong as property.

In a poignant scene, as the Africans waited in jail for the resumption of their trial, one of them named Yamba discovered a Bible and started looking through it with a fellow inmate, Cinqué (Sengbe Pieh (c. 1814 – c. 1879)), who led the uprising on the ship. They cannot speak or read English, but the pictures of New Testament events made quite an impression on them.

Yamba shows Cinqué a picture of Jesus in a manger and says that when He was born, everything changed. Cinqué noticed the glow around Jesus’ head as he saw a picture of Him riding into Jerusalem on a donkey. Yamba said that everywhere He goes, He is followed by the sun. He goes on to show pictures of Jesus healing people, protecting a woman from being stoned, being given children to bless, and even walking across the sea.

Then Yamba pointed out a dark turn of events when he showed a picture of Jesus captured, His hands tied, accused of a crime, and standing beside Pontius Pilate before a mob howling for His death. He noted that whatever He did must have been serious enough to kill Him for it. Then Yamba showed Cinqué how they killed Him by hanging Him on a cross.

But Yamba said that this was not the end. He showed Jesus’ body being taken down from the cross, taken into a cave, and wrapped in a cloth as the Mende people do. He told Cinqué that they thought He was dead, but He appeared before His people again and spoke to them. Then Yamba showed a picture of Jesus rising to the sky. The last picture he showed Cinqué was Jesus in the glory of heaven surrounded by the angels, and he said that this is where the soul goes when you die on earth. Clearly moved by the scene and with hope in his eyes, he quietly added that it did not look so bad.

In 1841, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a federal district court ruling that Cinqué, Yamba, and the rest of the captive Africans acted properly as free men to escape their kidnapping and illegal confinement, including the use of force. They were ordered to be set free. Christian abolitionists arranged for temporary housing until funds could be raised to return them home. The following year, along with some Christian missionaries, they set sail for Sierra Leone.

More than 150 years later, Cinqué’s great-great-grandson, Samuel Pieh, was a Mende language coach for the film. He said that Cinqué became a key figure in Sierra Leone who helped spread Christianity in the country.

Just before Jesus ascended to heaven, He told His disciples to wait in Jerusalem for the gift of the Holy Spirit, who would grant them the power to be His witnesses in Jerusalem and to the farthest reaches of the earth (Acts 1:1-8). On the Day of Pentecost, when they were gathered together, the Holy Spirit came upon them in a dramatic way. Through a mighty rushing wind and tongues of fire that rested on each of them, they started speaking in other languages they did not know. Devout Jews from every nation coming to Jerusalem to celebrate this feast of thanksgiving for the firstfruits of the harvest gathered together and heard them in their own language testifying to the mighty works of God.

Peter took this moment to address the crowd, telling them about the Lord Jesus, the Messiah whom many of them previously rejected and condemned to death on a cross. Convicted in their hearts at his message, they asked him what they should do. Peter gave them a message of hope. He urged them to repent and receive the mercy, forgiveness, peace with God, and indwelling Holy Spirit that comes only through faith in Jesus. As a result, three thousand who heard the gospel message in their own tongue believed and were baptized, and the Church of Jesus Christ was born (Acts 2:1-41).

A high court official for the queen of Ethiopia, a convert to Judaism, was returning home on his chariot from worshipping in Jerusalem. He was reading aloud God’s word from a scroll of the prophet Isaiah but was not understanding what it meant (Isaiah 53:7-8). Philip, who had been preaching the gospel in Samaria, was directed by God to go through a desert road to Gaza to meet him and talk to him about Jesus, the fulfillment of what the Ethiopian official was reading. This divine appointment resulted in him believing in Jesus and being baptized and proclaiming His message of hope, forgiveness, and peace with God through Him in Ethiopia (Acts 8:25-40).

God’s word assures us that whoever calls on the name of the Lord Jesus will be saved, and He often uses preachers of the gospel to proclaim this message (Romans 10:12-17). But God also uses unusual means to bring people to faith in Jesus.

God captured the attention of Jews of many nations and languages by arranging for them to hear the gospel in their own native tongue on the Day of Pentecost, causing thousands to believe in Jesus. In a divinely appointed meeting, Philip was used by God to help an Ethiopian government official seeking to understand God’s word come to faith in Jesus. God moved someone to leave a Bible in the jail where Cinqué and Yamba were being held, and though they could not read the words, they learned about Jesus through the illustrations and found hope in Him. In my case, someone I never met shared the gospel message with me over the Internet, and God used that divine encounter to forever transform my life by bringing repentance, forgiveness, hope, and salvation through faith in Jesus Christ alone.

“Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” (2 Corinthians 5:18-21)

If you have received this message of hope, the gospel, do not keep it to yourself. Remember the love and grace the Lord bestowed on you when He sent people and circumstances into your life to share it. For example, if you eat at a restaurant or have repairs done in your home, be gracious and give a good tip with a gospel tract to the server or repairman. You may be the unusual means through whom hope and salvation in Jesus Christ comes to that person and beyond.

On Mother’s Day, I received an email from one of our readers in Kansas.  She’s a mother, now in her 80s, and went to church on Mother’s Day hoping for some encouragement.  But the pastor at her church never mentioned mothers.  Instead, the sermon was all about how women should always remain submissive and obedient to men — and never speak in church.

What a totally inappropriate, rude and even cruel thing to do to the precious Moms who were there on Mother’s Day!  I remember, not so long ago, when churches we attended would take this once-a-year opportunity to honor all the mothers.  Mothers were encouraged to stand and be recognized and prayed for, and some churches even had a red rose for every Mom in attendance.  Mothers were honored and blessed.

Godly Motherhood and Fatherhood are the most important jobs we have in this life, bearing and raising children in the fear and admonition of the Lord.  Godly parents — one man and one woman, united in Holy Matrimony for life — are the absolute foundation of the natural family, the way God intended it to be; despite however our modern culture denigrates parenthood.

Have you noticed, as you go about your daily business, how few women you see today that are pregnant?  Have you noticed how few Moms there are with babies?  Where have all the Mothers gone?  And as I follow the local daily news, I see obituaries outpacing the birth notices by a margin of at least ten to one.  We’ve become such a self-centered society, that fewer and fewer couples are having children today.  It’s so sad that parenthood is no longer valued, and if a woman’s a stay-at-home Mom, she’s looked down upon and shunned, as if her time would be much better spent, and much more productive and fulfilling if she worked at some sort of corporate job, while her children were raised by strangers, paid to do so.

I also find it ridiculous when I see bumper stickers, T Shirts and social media posts glorifying women as “Dog Moms” or “Cat Moms.”  Rather than become a real mother to a precious child, made in the image of God, these women prefer to have pets, and consider them their “children.”  This is not motherhood.

And because of rampant sexual sin, many babies that “could have been” will never be.  According to the Guttmacher Institute, over a million babies were murdered in the womb in this country last year alone — despite the Supreme Court overturning Roe v Wade in June of 2022.  And it’s also sad to see that those babies who are allowed to live are now being born to unwed parents.  These children will likely never know the love and security of an intact family, having both a Mom and Dad together in the household to raise them.

And have you ever witnessed all the angry women yelling — and even swearing — at their children in public?  These are not Mothers.  They may have given birth, but their self-centered behavior doesn’t match with how Godly Mothers are to train up their children.

So, I thank God for Godly mothers, and yes, they should be honored, today more than ever.      Because today, we have demoniacs working to erase even the word “Mother” from our vocabulary and replace it with “birthing person,” so as not to hurt the feelings of insane men who believe they can be mothers.

In February of 2025, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers introduced a budget bill that calls mothers an “inseminated person,” and switches both “mother” and “father” to “parent who gave birth.”

State Representative Amanda Nedweski commented on this.  She said, “As a proud mother of two, it is absolutely insulting that the Governor, in his 2025-27 budget bill, would reduce me and millions of other mothers across Wisconsin to ‘inseminated persons.’ It is not only deeply offensive, but it is an outright attack on the very essence of motherhood,” Nedweski wrote in a press release. “It is unconscionable that the Governor has the audacity to take the most beautiful, life-giving act a woman can perform — bringing children into this world — and turn it into nothing more than gender-neutral, virtue-signaling jargon to appease his far-left base.”  Well said, indeed.  But this is where our culture is today… we’ve become a nation that is Godless, and therefore, naturally clueless.  A nation of imbeciles.

2 Timothy 3:  “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, truce-breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

Isn’t that our nation and world today?  We boast of our amazing intelligence, diversity, equity and inclusion.  We boast of our ability to create our own gods in the form of Artificial Intelligence, but we don’t have the brains God gave a chicken.  Ever learning, but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.  Why?  Because we’re a Godless nation, given over to depraved minds.

In the beginning, God created us male and female.  Males don’t do very well without the help of a female, and so He created Eve just for him.  In Hebrew, her name was Chavvah, which literally means “life giver.”  And He commanded them to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.  The Bible talks a lot about parenting, and values motherhood, especially, very highly.

In Matthew 23, Jesus lamented over His chosen people, saying, “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it!  How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing!”  Even mother birds protect, nurture and care for their babies under their wings, such is the innate nature of true motherhood.

Scripture also tells us about Sarah, who gave birth to Isaac, at the age of 90.  We read about the mother of Moses, who, at the risk of her own life, hid her son from the Egyptians when Pharaoh ordered that all male Hebrew children were to be killed at birth.  And how Mary, the mother of Jesus, must have loved Him so… and how He loved her.  Thirty three years later, as He hung on the cross, dying, He was careful to make sure that his mother would be taken care of, putting John in charge of her care.

Yes, God values and honors mothers.  In Exodus 20, we’re given the Ten Commandments,  and number 5 of those commandments is “Honor your father and your mother…”  Here are a few more Scripture verses about mothers:

Isaiah 49:15, “Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb?”  Isaiah 66:13, “As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you.”  Psalm 113:9, “He gives the barren woman a home, making her the joyous mother of children. Praise the Lord!”  Psalm 127:3, “Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.”  Proverbs 1:8, “…forsake not your mother’s teaching.”  Proverbs 23:25, “Let your father and mother be glad; let her who bore you rejoice.” Proverbs 29:15, “…a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.”  John 16:21, “When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.”

True Godly mothers exemplify the type of woman we read about in Proverbs 31.  Here are some of her qualities:  “…She is far more precious than jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will not lack anything good.”  “She selects wool and flax and works with willing hands. She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from far away.  She rises while it is still night and provides food for her household.”  “She extends her hands to the spinning staff, and her hands hold the spindle. Her hands reach out to the poor, and she extends her hands to the needy. She is not afraid for her household when it snows, for all in her household are doubly clothed. She makes her own bed coverings…”  “She opens her mouth with wisdom and loving instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the activities of her household and is never idle.  Her sons rise up and call her blessed.  Her husband also praises her…”

Mother’s Day was established in the United States as the second Sunday of May, starting in 1914.  It was the culmination of work done by Godly mothers who served, did charitable deeds and worked to unite a divided nation following the civil war.  Anna Jarvis, hoping to honor the memory of her own mother, as well as all mothers, envisioned the day as an intimate occasion for expressing love and gratitude toward all mothers through handwritten letters and personal gestures.  Interestingly, Father’s Day did not officially become a national holiday until Richard Nixon signed it into law in April of 1972.

“Honor your father and mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God has given you.”  The first commandment with a promise.  How sad that Godly mothers are not valued and honored as they should be today.  These amazing women, who carry a beautiful child, knit together in their wombs by God Himself, for nine months.  Then, there’s the miracle of birth, and God’s even equipped mothers in a special way so those precious little ones can bond with them as they receive the sustenance they need from their mothers’ own bodies.

Mothers pray for their children before they’re ever born and never stop praying for them all their lives.  They spend countless sleepless nights comforting their little ones, caring for all their needs.  They watch them grow, as they raise them to know the Lord and His infinite goodness.  They mend their wounds and have the unique ability to heal scraped knees with just a kiss.  They teach them to walk, talk, read and write. They encourage their creativity as they hang crayon-colored masterpieces on the refrigerator and then keep them forever as cherished moments of their childhood.

When their children hurt, they hurt too.  When their children rejoice, Godly mothers are there to cheer them on.  And then one day, the child leaves the nest, but no matter how old he becomes, “Mom” will always be “Mom,” cherished, loved and honored.  One day, Mom’s soul will outgrow her body, and she’ll take up residence with her Savior, Jesus, in heaven… but her wisdom, love and nurturing will live on forever in her children, her children’s children, and their children.  What a wonderful plan and design God gave us for the natural family — and especially precious is the love of a Godly mother.

They possess qualities that Dads just don’t have, and that’s how it should be.  I’ve learned so much from my own mother, and have dear, fond memories that will last my whole lifetime.  The same is true of my wife.  Both were selfless, loving, giving, prayerful, nurturing and absolutely precious women of God, true blessings to all their children, and their grandchildren.

If you’re blessed enough today to still have your Mom with you in this world, go give her a hug and let her know how much she means to you.  I can no longer do that, but my kids remember their grandma’s sweet, loving embrace — that same love that my wife is now passing on to our children’s children.  Pray for your Mom, thank God for her.  There truly is nothing in the world like a mother’s love.

• After 20 years, the REAL ID Act of 2005 is finally being enforced.
• Is this a REAL ID or a new National ID?
• Does Congress have the authority to tell states how to issue drivers’ licenses?

It took more than 20 years, but the REAL ID Act of 2005 is finally being enforced. While several people have talked about the requirements for a REAL ID, and whether or not they even need one, I haven’t heard anyone ask one very important question: Is it legal?

History

After the attacks on September 11, 2001, politicians were scrambling to find ways to claim they were protecting the American people. The Patriot Act, the Transportation Security Administration, and the explosion of surveillance cameras are just a few examples. In the middle of this maelstrom of security came “The REAL ID Act of 2005.” What was the purpose of this legislation?

To establish and rapidly implement regulations for State driver’s license and identification document security standards, to prevent terrorists from abusing the asylum laws of the United States, to unify terrorism-related grounds for inadmissibility and removal, and to ensure expeditious construction of the San Diego border fence.

The REAL ID Act of 2005

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about reading legislation, it’s don’t believe the title. Yes, this is the REAL ID Act, and yes it does claim to create standards for REAL IDs, but that’s not all it does. As a matter of fact, less than 20% of the words in this legislation have anything to do with REAL IDs. Most of the language deals with terrorists and immigration.

The logic behind the REAL ID portion of this legislation is to insure that those who’ve been issued these “enhanced” identifications really are the people they claim to be. This is supposed to enhance security for air travel and access to federal and military locations.

Title II–Improved Security For Drivers’ Licenses And Personal Identification Cards

The first thing we need to understand about REAL ID is that it is only for federal recognition.

SEC. 202. MINIMUM DOCUMENT REQUIREMENTS AND ISSUANCE STANDARDS FOR FEDERAL RECOGNITION.

The REAL ID Act of 2005

This act places no requirements that a state not only recognize a REAL ID, it simply defines the requirements for a state issued ID to be recognized by the federal government. However, even with this simple goal, things did not work out as planned.

(a) Minimum Standards for Federal Use.–
(1) In general.–Beginning 3 years after the date of the enactment of this Act, a Federal agency may not accept, for any official purpose, a driver’s license or identification card issued by a State to any person unless the State is meeting the requirements of this section.

The REAL ID Act of 2005

Even though the requirement for federal agencies to accept only REAL IDs was three years after the enactment of this legislation, it took 20 years to get everything in place.

(b) Minimum Document Requirements.–To meet the requirements of this section, a State shall include, at a minimum, the following information and features on each driver’s license and identification card issued to a person by the State:

The REAL ID Act of 2005

Part of the reason for the delay were the requirements for a state issued ID to meet these new standards. Most of the standards are pretty simple: Full name, date of birth, address, etc. However, a couple of requirements made things difficult.

(8) Physical security features designed to prevent tampering, counterfeiting, or duplication of the document for fraudulent purposes.
(9) A common machine-readable technology, with defined minimum data elements.

The REAL ID Act of 2005

Remember, there are 50 states plus the District of Columbia, not to mention territories like Puerto Rico and Guam, that had to both agree to and adopt these standards. What security features would the states implement? Could all of the states produce IDs with those features or would they have to buy new equipment? Did all of the states have data systems to collect and process the minimum data elements? And who would decide which security features and data elements would be required?

Federal Overreach

It seems Congress can hardly pass legislation without going beyond the powers vested in them by the Constitution. Take for example this demand of the legislation.

(c) Minimum Issuance Standards.–
(1) In general.–To meet the requirements of this section, a State shall require, at a minimum, presentation and verification of the following information before issuing a driver’s license or identification card to a person:

The REAL ID Act of 2005

Nothing in the Constitution of the United States delegates to its government the power to regulate driver’s licenses or identification. Congress can determine the rules for identifications that federal agencies are allowed to accept, but they cannot dictate to the states what their ID’s must include. While technically the states are only required to meet these standards if they want the federal government to recognize them, like voter registration, it will be difficult for states to create a two-tiered identification system. That is not the only overreach in this section:

(C) Proof of the person’s social security account number or verification that the person is not eligible for a social security account number.

The REAL ID Act of 2005

Tell me, what does participation in the illegal government retirement program have to do with your identification? How does a social security number verify who you are, especially since these documents do not include a photo or other information used for identification purposes? Could this be another attempt to make sure everyone participates in this illegal program?

Then there are the “special requirements,” some of which will make things quite difficult for some people.

(2) Special requirements.–
…
(B) Evidence of lawful status.–A State shall require, before issuing a driver’s license or identification card to a person, valid documentary evidence that the person–
(i) is a citizen of the United States;
(ii) is an alien lawfully admitted for permanent or temporary residence in the United States;

…

The REAL ID Act of 2005

My first thought is this will make things more difficult for “sanctuary” cities and states. After all, they won’t be able to go 100% to REAL IDs since illegal aliens are not eligible for them. Then I thought, what if an illegal alien needs to enter a federal courthouse, possibly to turn themselves in or appear for a hearing? They will be required to have a REAL ID to enter, so they will need some other form of ID, which they may not possess. So how could they comply with a federal order to appear if courthouse security won’t let them in?

On the other hand, this would also stop someone from recreating Biden’s catch and release program, where his administration flew illegal aliens around the country. I guess they would have to make sure that someone has acceptable ID to apply for amnesty.

(3) Verification of documents.–To meet the requirements of this section, a State shall implement the following procedures:
(A) Before issuing a driver’s license or identification card to a person, the State shall verify, with the issuing agency, the issuance, validity, and completeness of each document required to be presented by the person under paragraph (1) or (2).

The REAL ID Act of 2005

And who verifies that the documents were verified? What if those documents were issued by entities that don’t share information? For example, states can accept official foreign passports for identification, but how do states verify those passports?

Expanding the Police State

As if the examples of the federal government becoming a police state aren’t numerous enough, this REAL ID expands them further.

(d) Other Requirements.–To meet the requirements of this section, a State shall adopt the following practices in the issuance of drivers’ licenses and identification cards:

(1) Employ technology to capture digital images of identity source documents so that the images can be retained in electronic storage in a transferable format.
(2) Retain paper copies of source documents for a minimum of 7 years or images of source documents presented for a minimum of 10 years.
(3) Subject each person applying for a driver’s license or identification card to mandatory facial image capture.

The REAL ID Act of 2005

More instances of governments trying to capture images of you to search later. I’ve talked before about Automated License Plate Readers; now the government wants a copy of your driver’s license photo, and they want it in a database. As if that weren’t bad enough, the federal government will bribe the states into sharing this data with others.

SEC. 203. LINKING OF DATABASES.

(a) In General.–To be eligible to receive any grant or other type of financial assistance made available under this title, a State shall participate in the interstate compact regarding sharing of driver license data, known as the `Driver License Agreement,’ in order to provide electronic access by a State to information contained in the motor vehicle databases of all other States.
(b) Requirements for Information.–A State motor vehicle database shall contain, at a minimum, the following information:
(1) All data fields printed on drivers’ licenses and identification cards issued by the State.
(2) Motor vehicle drivers’ histories, including motor vehicle violations, suspensions, and points on licenses.

The REAL ID Act of 2005

How is the federal government going to get the states to join in this database? With bribery, of course, but I’ll talk more about that later. And just what restrictions will be placed on the access of this database? Will law enforcement require a warrant to search it? Because there will be more in this database than just your identification and driving record.

(5) Confirm with the Social Security Administration a social security account number presented by a person using the full social security account number. In the event that a social security account number is already registered to or associated with another person to which any State has issued a driver’s license or identification card, the State shall resolve the discrepancy and take appropriate action.

The REAL ID Act of 2005

That’s right, your social security number is part of the verification of who you are. While your SSN doesn’t have to be printed on your license, and therefore isn’t required to be included in this interstate database, the state is required to retain that data for future use. I wonder what that could be about?

More Federal Bribery

Since this legislation has put requirements on the states that will cost them money if they wish their IDs to be federally recognized, Congress can’t seem to resist waving a bribe before them.

SEC. 205. GRANTS TO STATES.

(a) In General.–The Secretary may make grants to a State to assist the State in conforming to the minimum standards set forth in this title.
(b) Authorization of Appropriations.–There are authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary for each of the fiscal years 2005 through 2009 such sums as may be necessary to carry out this title.

The REAL ID Act of 2005

That’s right, the Secretary of Homeland Security is not only authorized to bribe the states with grants not authorized by the Constitution of the United States. Congress has already appropriated whatever money the Secretary claims in necessary for previous years. Do you really think Congress won’t embezzle more funds for this ID program?

Conclusion

Now, after 20 years of trying, this legislation is finally going into effect. While I recognize the need for identification to be trustworthy, I don’t think Congress should be allowed to violate the Constitution to do so. Yes, what I’ve covered is mostly within the section for federal recognition of IDs, but even there Congress seems to have ignored the supreme law of the land.

One of the obvious purposes of this so-called REAL ID appears to be to make sure everyone has their illegal social security number. I’m still baffled by why the federal government wants to link their illegal retirement system to your photo ID? Could it be this is their attempt to create a national ID system? Congress has tried in the past to create a national ID, and failed. Could linking REAL ID to your social security number be a back-door to do so? By placing any financial assistance to the states to their participation in an interstate compact to share data, Congress has effectively created a national ID database, including not only your name and birthdate, but a facial recognition image. And this data is linked to your state ID, which includes copies of the documents you used to prove your identity. In other words, everything law enforcement needs to find you if they want. This would be scary enough if Congress and the courts required law enforcement to follow the Fourth Amendment, but in general they haven’t.

Does the federal government have the authority to determine the requirements for the identification documents they accept? Yes. Can Congress limit access to federal buildings to those with proper ID? Generally yes, but I do see some problems with the limitations they’ve put place. Does the federal government have the right to limit air travel to those with these documents? I see nothing in the Constitution that would grant to them that power. After all, the act of flying is not commerce. While Congress can regulate both the interstate and foreign commerce parts of commercial flight, where do they get to regulate who can fly? It’s not the Constitution of the United States.

After asking about the Constitutionality of The REAL ID Act, the next most common question is: Do I need one? Ultimately, it’s up to you. When I lived in New York State, I got an enhanced driver’s license to allow me to drive across the Canadian border without other documentation. That was my decision, which I made for my convenience. While many “news” outlets imply that people will need a REAL ID to fly or enter a federal building, that is not true. There are other federally recognized IDs, like a passport, which will work just fine for these purposes. So the answer to the question, “Do you need a REAL ID?” ultimately comes down to your convenience vs your concerns about a federal ID database. If you have no immediate need to fly or enter a federal building, you can put off this decision until you renew your driver’s license.

The major concern I have personally regarding REAL IDs is that national database. Will Congress one day try to force the states to only issue REAL ID driver’s licenses? While unconstitutional, illegal, and void, it would not surprise me one little bit. And if you’re hoping the courts would prevent such unconstitutional legislation, recent history shows that would be unlikely.

While the economy DEMAND continues to increase for products and fuels, Newsom continues to destroy the SUPPLY of oil and refining to meet those DEMANDS – China coming to the rescue!

California’s Governor Newsom has been on this planet for 57 years and has yet to publicly recognize that modern life requires the use of fossil fuels to function. California is the fourth largest economy in the world. We require the PRODUCTS and TRANSPORTATION FUELS made from fossil fuels to meet the materialistic DEMANDS of humanity and our economy. Our crude oil demand exceeds 1.8 million barrels per day – this demand has proven inelastic over time.

Valero’s Benicia Refinery began operations in 1968, the same year Governor Gavin Newsom was born. More than five decades later, California still consumes over 1.8 million barrels of oil each day to meet its demands for the fuels and products made from oil. Despite advances in technology and efforts to transition toward renewable electricity, the fundamental structure of our economy remains deeply reliant on fossil fuel-derived products and transportation fuels.

From jet fuel and diesel to the thousands of petroleum-based components in electric vehicles (EVs), wind turbines, and solar panels, fossil fuels remain essential to our daily lives. While renewable electricity plays an important role in power generation, it cannot replace the raw materials and complex hydrocarbons refined from crude oil that are vital to every sector—from hospitals and national defense to communications and transportation.

California’s energy policies, particularly the mandate to phase out internal combustion vehicles and transition to EVs, addresses only a portion of our petroleum usage—namely gasoline. However, the electric vehicle itself, and its components, are manufactured using fossil fuel-based materials.

Meanwhile, demand for aviation and diesel fuels remains high:

• California consumes 13 million gallons of jet fuel per day, 16.7% of the national total to support its 145 airports, inclusive of 41 military airports and 9 international airports.
• The state uses 10 million gallons of diesel fuel daily to support its 35 million registered vehicles.
• Arizona and Nevada depend on California for 45% and 88% of their fuel needs, respectively.

Infrastructures that did not exist 200 years ago that DEMAND continuously increasing supplies of the products and fuels made from fossil fuels are:

• Hospitals
• Airports
• Military
• Medical equipment
• Telecommunications
• Communications systems
• Space programs
• Appliances
• Electronics
• Sanitation
• Heating and ventilating

Newsom wishes to “transition away from fossil fuels” but he has offered no backup plan to maintain the supply chain of products and fuels to support all the above-mentioned infrastructures.

While California policies are doing everything possible to eliminate oil production and refining out of the state with over-regulations, taxes, and environmental programs, China is ramping up its oil refinery capabilities.

This is not a partisan issue. A secure, affordable, and environmentally responsible energy future requires a pragmatic, science-based approach. We must:

• Recognize the enduring role of petroleum-based products in society.
• Ensure a stable and resilient domestic energy supply chain.
• Support innovation in both renewable and traditional electricity sectors.
• Plan responsibly for transition timelines that reflect technological and logistical realities.

As California continues to lead in climate ambition, it must also lead in practical, inclusive energy planning. The stakes—for our economy, environment, and national security—demand nothing less.

China openly supports political activism in California and is savoring the future with their many refineries coming online to meet the DEMANDS of the American society.

With the upcoming closures of the Phillips 66 Refinery in Southern California in 2025, and the Valero Refinery in Northern California in 2026, a growing national security concern would result from our growing dependence on China to meet the humongous demands for transportation fuels by California, Arizona and Nevada. The two refinery closures represent almost 17% of the state’s crude oil processing capacity to meet the materialistic demands of the States’ residents, and much of the transportation fuels needs in AZ and NV.

As California intensifies regulatory and tax burdens on in-state oil production and refining, other nations, particularly China, are rapidly expanding their refining capacities. At least eight new refinery projects are planned in China by 2030. These facilities will not only serve their own domestic growth but increasingly export refined products to nations like the U.S., offsetting California’s declining supply.

This shift carries serious implications. Offshore refining to meet U.S. demand contributes to higher global emissions, limited domestic job creation, and increased dependence on foreign supply chains—potentially weakening our national resilience and security.

Compounding the growing need for more importation to meet the materialistic demands of society will be the West Coast port’s ability to receive transportation fuels as marine facilities in California face increased congestion and dramatic vessel limits.

Our modern infrastructure—airports, hospitals, military bases, and even sanitation systems—cannot function without continuous access to petroleum-based fuels and products. Yet, California’s energy strategy focuses overwhelmingly on restricting domestic supply without a clear, scalable alternative to meet persistent demand.

The reality is this: limiting the local supply of the fuels and products made from oil without reducing demand doesn’t solve the climate challenge, it simply shifts environmental and social impacts overseas, often to countries with less stringent environmental protections and labor laws.

As President Trump was in the middle of a Middle East trip, cultivating financial ties and making arms deals with Arab oil sheiks and funders of Islamist terrorism, the Republican-controlled House Ways and Means Committee released a copy of a “Big, Beautiful Bill” that would add at least $3.8 trillion to the deficit and perhaps as much as $5.3 trillion.

The tax reduction bill did NOT include a provision eliminating taxes on Social Security, which Trump campaigned on.

In Saudi Arabia, Trump attacked the neo-cons for trying to transform the Middle East but the idea of leaving the region in the hands of Jihadists of a Sunni or Shiite character will not benefit the United States or the world.  Trump’s billionaire globalist friends at the “Saudi-U.S. Investment Forum” will lose their shirts — and Israel may not survive — if the global Islamic terror network based in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and now Syria is not identified and defeated.

The Saudi Royal Family was implicated in the 9/11 terrorist attacks on America and Qatar’s offer of a luxury jet to the president stinks to high heaven, considering the regime’s funding of Hamas and other Islamic terrorist groups.

Under Trump, some “America First” advocates expected he would withdraw our support for the Qatar regime and close the largest U.S. military installation in the Middle East that is maintained there.

The Muslim Brotherhood, which effectively controls Qatar’s Al-Jazeera television network, gave rise to terrorist organizations such as Hamas, the officially designated Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) that launched the October 7, 2023 attacks on Israel. However, the Muslim Brotherhood is not an officially designated FTO, even under Trump.

Here at home, Trump has deferred to the Supreme Court, an inferior and unelected branch of government with no military or police power, on matters of national security, including deporting Hamas operatives, foreign gang members, and terrorists.

These recent decisions tell you everything you want to know about who is now running the country:

• U.S. Supreme Court lets Trump’s transgender military ban take effect (Reuters)
• Supreme Court allows Trump to enforce trans military ban (Just the News)
• Supreme Court Lets Trump Enforce Transgender Troop Ban as Cases Proceed on (New York Times)
• Supreme Court stays lower court ruling, allowing Trump transgender ban to proceed (Fox News)

What is amazing is that, whether the outlet is left or right, they all agree that the Supreme Court somehow has the right to decide military policy. It does not.

It can only enforce its rulings if the other branches accept it. They did so with the unconstitutional Roe v. Wade decision, legalizing abortion on demand, and Obergefell v. Hodges, legalizing “gay marriage” nationally. Only the Roe decision was subsequently overturned by the Court itself. The Roe decision led to 60 million dead babies and there is still no legalized and recognized right to life on the federal level.

We are living under a Supreme Court dictatorship.

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.”

The threat continues.

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…” Another definition is “a plotted revolt or attempt to overthrow a government, especially one that depends upon suddenness and speed.”

As he pleads for more favorable rulings from the Supreme Court, President Trump was in Saudi Arabia and greeted the new president of Syria, a Jihadist by the name of Ahmed Al-Sharaa. He created the al-Nusrah Front, an arm of al-Qaeda.

Under Trump’s first term, the al-Nusrah Front was labeled a Foreign Terrorist Organization.

Understandably, Trump wants to put an end to the disasters in the Middle East initiated by the Obama administration and which led to the Syrian civil war. But his ending of sanctions on the new Sunni Muslim terrorist government of Syria will not accomplish that. What is more, he seems to be negotiating for the survival of the Shiite terrorist regime in Iran in exchange for certain restrictions on its nuclear program.

Trump’s friendly relationships with Qatar‘s ruling monarchy were also disturbing. Qatar is an undemocratic regime that sponsors al-Qaeda and Jihadist terror groups, including Hamas, throughout the Middle East.

Qatar’s Al-Jazeera network, known as Terror Television, is still in operation and inspired foreign Muslim fighters to go to places like Iraq and Afghanistan for the specific purpose of killing U.S. service members.

In 2003 testimony to the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, Mamoun Fandy, an expert on the Arab media, said Al-Jazeera’s reporters and correspondents constitute a “who is who in the rank and file of the [Muslim] brotherhood,” described as “the first Islamic organization with global reach” and has left a “record of destruction” throughout the Middle East.

Regarding Saudi Arabia, the Saudi role in funding the Global Jihad Movement was never officially investigated in detail. The role of many Saudis in the 9/11 terrorist attacks on America should have put Saudi Arabia on the State Department list of state sponsors of terrorism.

9/11 was an attack that was foreseeable and preventable. As journalist Peter Lance has documented in his book Triple Cross, there was a spectacular “failure of accountability” for those who could and should have stopped the 9/11 attacks. Lance’s book traces the history of some of the perpetrators of these terrorist acts going back to 1981. His book goes into substantial detail about the TWA 800 and Oklahoma City bombing cases and how government officials covered up the nature of these crimes, too, and their Middle East connections.

9/11 was used as justification by various U.S. Administrations to go to war in the Middle East. Yet, to this day, details about the Saudi role in 9/11 have been withheld.

Remember that 15 of the 19 terrorist hijackers involved in the 9/11 attacks came from Saudi Arabia. 9/11’s so-called 20th hijacker, Zacarias Moussaoui, speaking from behind federal prison walls, had told attorneys suing Saudi Arabia over its role in 9/11 that major Saudi figures, including members of the Saudi Royal Family, were on a list of donors to al-Qaeda prior to 9/11.

Litigation is still continuing on behalf of the 9/11 families to hold Saudi Arabia accountable for its role in the terrorist attacks.

Yet, President Trump was there in Saudi Arabia, on the first leg of his trip, praising Saudi officials and welcoming their financial investments in the United States. He was accompanied by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, the Chairman and CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, whose bond trading firm and employees in the World Trade Center’s North Tower were victims on 9/11 and whose younger brother, Gary, lost his life in the attack.

Families of 9/11 victims wrote to Lutnick before the trip, asking him to press the Saudi government to extradite a Saudi intelligence officer to the U.S. because of his alleged connected to the 9/11 hijackers.

According to the Gateway pundit late this afternoon, May 15, 2025,

“James Comey posted a cryptic message to his Instagram account on Thursday spelled out in seashells: “86 47”.

Don’t be silly. Right? Rumors are the stuff of politics. However, the White House has responded, calling it “what can clearly be interpreted as ‘a hit’ on the sitting President of the United States.”

The White House says it will be taken seriously. Proper punishment for this kind of overt threat on someone’s life is atop my daily prayer list. I pray that this IS taken seriously. I have to wonder how involved is this Trump-hater extraordinaire in the other attempts on our President’s life.

By posting this on an Instagram account, this overt threat moves from the realm of “hearsay” or rumor, to an active and intentional thought.

I wonder every day, who will be next, and when another attempt on Donald Trump’s life will be made. I fear it’s not “if”, but “when”.

I cannot imagine what the Trump family must feel every day.

Sane people do not threaten the life of another. You can disagree all you want, even say nasty stuff, but – in my book anyhow – you MAY NOT threaten the lives of others.

Did I despise Joe Biden? Absolutely. He is a career criminal who has stolen billions from the American people, and I wanted him gone. Out of any office where he could harm others ever again. I’d love to see him in jail, not only for breaking many laws, but for the crimes against humanity with which he assisted. I still feel that way, 100%/.

Even more, I despise Barack Obama and the lies he lived. He, too, was the enemy of freedom, and prevaricated, 24/7. Obama had a hauteur about him that turned my stomach. He clearly thought himself the superior to everyone. I almost felt sorry for “Michelle”, but not really. He knew exactly what he was getting into from their days in Chicago..

Even the scum listed above, however, did not overtly talk happily about someone being “no longer available” I agree with the White House assessment. Comey was enjoying the thought of a hit on Donald Trump.

The term, “86” came from the restaurant industry in the 1930’s, and meant that something was no longer available. Off the menu, so to speak. Colloquially, it has come to mean something that is “gone”.

I believe that James Comey needs to be placed in a nice quiet cell, for some time to come, where he will have plenty of time to wallow in his dark ways, without smearing them all over the internet for people to see.

Innocent Christians have been attacked, injured, jailed, even murdered, for praying outside an abortion facility, by Comey’s gang. It is our turn, to jail a criminal for enjoying the thought of “hit” on our President.

Sorry, God. I know we are not to think evil of others. After what this nation has been through, though, I can’t help pray for what my Grandma called, someone getting their “just deserts.” We need a break here.

Before I begin, let me state for the record that I am a lifelong “constitutional conservative” member of the Republican Party. I voted for Trump in 2016, 2020 and 2024. So, my assessment is as a member of the MAGA movement that started in 2008 after the fraudulent election of Barack Hussein Obama. Honestly, only people who hate America wouldn’t want to make our country great again!

First and foremost, Trump is one of the greatest self-promoters of all time. He built an impressive global empire on his ability to win friends, influence people, make smart deals, and build a family dynasty larger than life. Kudos to him and his very bright family for all of their private sector accomplishments. These are the kind of people we need in government, people with a strong successful resume’.

As President, he continues to be a great self-promoter as he constantly chronicles his “wins” and “promises kept,” as he should. To be very fair, he was handed an intentional disaster upon entering the office both times, with a corrupt system working against him every step of the way, and still, he is indeed moving at a record pace to accomplish what he promised to accomplish. READ HERE

But I am very concerned about the most critical unkept-promise he made in 2016, 2020, and 2024, which appears to not be a front-burner issue still today.

“LOCK HER UP”

In 2016, this promise pertained to career criminal Hillary Clinton for her many treasonous acts not just against Trump, but against the USA and every legal American citizen. In the aftermath of the treasonous “Russian Collusion” scam, criminal lawfare, and fake impeachments, independent investigators delved deep into “deep state” activities and uncovered an entire cabal of treasonous scumbags. EVIDENCE PRESENTED HERE

“What difference does it make?” – Hillary Clinton

But as of today, Day 114 of the second Trump administration, action on the evidence of massive sedition, subversion and treason from leftwing political operatives in politics, the media, and the courts, remains deafeningly silent.

Publicly, there’s been no mention of pursuing the individuals that we all know were involved in historic levels of outright corruption rising to the level of treason against the United States.

Yes, we are talking about some of the most powerful people in the USA. We’re also talking about the type of people who can never be trusted with that power, and who must pay the price of treason, or treason will remain a crime no longer prosecuted in the USA.

Over a thousand American citizens were politically imprisoned for attending a campaign rally on public property in DC on January 6, 2021. But not one single person evidenced in THIS DOCUMENTARY has been formerly investigated, charged, prosecuted or punished for their many seditious crimes against the American citizens.

These are the most dangerous people in America. They are directly responsible for unmatched damage to our country. There is no way to Make America Great Again so long as treason from within remains a crime never punished!

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.” – Cicero

So, I have to ask…

With all the public evidence against these individuals, Trump’s promise to “lock them up,” Kash Patel’s totally disturbing evidence against them as the new Director of the FBI, and Pam Bondi at the helm of the Department of Justice….

WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE TO HOLD THESE ANTI-AMERICAN CRIMINALS FULLY ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS?

In my opinion, Trump can have a thousand other accomplishments, and unless he accomplishes this, he will not be able to Make America Great Again!

I continue to support Trump. But as Trump allows the unconstitutional Judicial Branch to act as if they were elected to run the country, and the most dangerous criminals in the USA go unpunished, I do not expect the USA to ever be great again. Do you?

We have witnessed the greatest comeback in American political history. Who would have thought, after packing up for Mar-a-lago though he knew the 2020 election had been stolen from him, that Trump would run again? Or that he’d draw huge crowds to his signature rallies once more, even after the Dems did their damnedest to tarnish him as “a convicted felon”?

And when all their malevolent lawfare shenanigans failed, their likely Plan D was nearly accomplished in Butler, Pennsylvania when Trump missed being assassinated by a hair’s breadth. Ironically, it was his courageous defiance and his concern for We the People that emerged in his now iconic gesture to the crowd, “Fight! Fight! Fight!” that arguably sealed his victory, as well as his likely place on Mount Rushmore. And what are we to fight for? America! Our sovereignty! Our traditional Judeo-Christian values! Our birthright liberty!

And now, beyond Trump’s astonishing comeback and his landslide win in 2024, we have witnessed his first 100 days in office. Rather than pointing out the several things we may disagree about, or the staff or Cabinet posts we might think were bad picks, let’s admit that these 100 days were nothing short of breathtaking!

BIG, BEAUTIFUL TARIFFS

Not long ago, I read a stunning article about Trump’s tariffs that challenged the popular consensus of both the nay-sayers and the enthusiasts. Perhaps because I’m fresh from reading Trump’s autobiographical bestseller, “The Art of the Deal”—as engaging and entertaining as it is enlightening about deal-making—that article’s analysis makes perfect sense to me.

One of my favorite passages in Trump’s book is the one in which he stands looking at the old Commodore Hotel, and opines that most people standing there see a dilapidated hotel in a sad-looking neighborhood, but he sees something else. He sees scores of well-dressed men and women hurrying out of Grand Central Station, right across the street from the Commodore. He imagines a renovated and beautiful hotel there that would draw from that well-heeled crowd and light up the neighborhood. In other words, the man’s a visionary! He sees possibilities that others miss.

And that is the point of Jeff Childers’ brilliant analysis of Trump’s tariffs, in which he opines:

Historically, tariffs have always been used as protectionist tools (e.g., Smoot-Hawley) or revenue generators (in the pre-income-tax period). But Trump saw something every other president missed: he’s wielding tariffs as a universal negotiation tool, forcing countries to come to the table, not just to talk about widgets and steel, but to extract much broader concessions on things like military cost-sharing, tech regulation, currency manipulation, and who knows what else.

 * * *

It’s totally new and wildly unprecedented. It’s like the Marshall Plan in reverse, except with the whole world, not just Western Europe. Trump is monetizing American hegemony. The globalists built a one-way grocery aisle of dependency — and Trump put a cash register at the end of the aisle. And now the whole world is waiting in line.

* * *

The most underappreciated piece of the puzzle is that only President Trump spotted the possibilities.

By the way, I attended a Townhall Zoom conference not long ago, and listened to a 20-minute presentation on tariffs by an expert economist. His basic conclusion: tariffs are bad. And he’s not alone: Many economists hate tariffs, Democrats hate tariffs, Libertarians hate tariffs, Saturday Night Live comedians hate tariffs—all the more if they’re imposed by the Orange Man.

But the expert economists and talking heads are mostly thinking within the box.

Trump doesn’t merely think outside the box, he doesn’t even notice the box! He looks with fresh eyes at the actual big picture—in this case at world economics—sees how other nations have ripped off America—and figures out how to remedy the situation. He’s bringing other nations to the bargaining table in the realization that the U.S., in spite of four miserable years of Bidenomics, is still the richest and most powerful country in the world—and he’s using that as leverage. He’s hitting other nations where it hurts: in their balance sheets.

But the purpose isn’t to “punish” them—it’s to effect a realignment of world economics that puts America back where we were before decades of incremental Progressive siphoning off of our wealth and productivity—the “giant sucking sound” Ross Perot spoke of when he ran for President in 1992, warning us what would happen if our manufacturing plants moved to Mexico.

It’s Trump’s signature campaign promise: to Make America Great Again! And that means we have to stop being the world’s piggy bank, which is all the more important as average Americans have been struggling after four years with a crooked and obviously senile man in the Oval Office, and with America-hating Obama likely the one calling the shots from behind the curtain.

WINNING WITH DOGE & BEYOND

President Trump’s execution of this overhaul of world economies at the same time he’s exposing and eliminating domestic rip-offs through DOGE,  is sheer brilliance. In essence, he’s balancing the books! He’s uncovering the massive theft of American wealth by Leftists inside our own government, as well as the plundering of our nation by the international globalist elites and pals, as well as the “monkey see, monkey do” response of many other countries.

Even before President Trump had been in office for the proverbial 100 days, he’d begun winning so handily for the American people that it had to be seen to be believed.

Among his spectacular early achievements is the creation of DOGE which is uncovering the enormous waste—which looks mostly like fraud—hidden away in the catacombs of the Administrative State. And with his daring choice of Elon Musk to oversee the task, the cleansing of our nation’s Augean Stables is well underway.

STRIKING AT THE ROOT OF CULTURAL & INTELLECTUAL MARXISM

One of my favorite wins is Trump’s pulling the plug on Ivy League anti-intellectual factories of Marxist indoctrination and rampant anti-Semitism, including Obama’s alma mater: Columbia, along with Hahvahd and Yale.

Better yet, he’s challenging their accreditation, which gets them where they live, in their wallets. Cato Institute Research fellow Andrew Gillen puts it this way: ““If you lose Pell grants and lose student loans, for most colleges that means you’re done.”

And President Trump is doing this to combat “Ideological Overreach.”
Delicious!

HALTING THE DAMAGE TO PROPERTY RIGHTS & MORE THROUGH PHONY-BALONEY ENVIRONMENTALISM

Another of my faves is Trump’s defanging of the Endangered Species Act. Apparently he hates the fact that California keeps wasting our water to “save” an inedible bait fish, the Delta smelt, as much as I do:

He has blamed the water woes of California on misguided efforts to “protect an essentially worthless fish.”

Not to mention the fact that, thanks to the chemicals being sprayed in our skies, the fluoride in our drinking water, our GMO foods, and experimental mRNA vaccines, the only endangered species on Earth happens to be homo sapiens—We the People!

Besides, the environmentalist claims are almost uniformly bogus. Neither the Spotted owl, nor the Delta smelt were actually “endangered” as claimed.

In an article for Real Clear Politics,  Philip Wegmann notes:

“Environmental is the biggest tool for stopping growth,” Trump said during an interview with Joe Rogan last October, harking back to his New York days as a real estate developer and complaining that rare flora and fauna on a job site could quickly grind even the biggest construction projects to a halt. The candidate called environmental regulations “a weapon,” and later as president-elect, he vowed to expedite the environmental permit and approval process for any company investing at least $1 billion in the United States. Wrote Trump on Truth Social last December, “GET READY TO ROCK!!!”

Wegmann’s own analysis follows:

Sweeping change would follow from redefining a single word: harm. Instead of allowing the ESA’s mission creep to continue, resulting in people losing the use of their land if authorities were to find, for example, a red-toed blind salamander on it, the Trump administration is redefining “harm” as “to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect” the animal itself.

Bravo, Donald!

A BLACK EYE FOR BIG PHARMA

Not only did President Trump place Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in the most powerful health-related position in his Cabinet, but he’s now going after Pharma’s longtime habit of grossly overcharging its American customers. Why charge us triple or quadruple, or even eight times more for drugs than what they charge Canadians or Europeans? Because they could!

However, in the past few days, in addition to brokering peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, and a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, Trump signed an Executive Order pulling the rug out from under Big Pharma’s unconscionable scheme of price-gouging our own people.

Anyone tired of winning yet?

As a friend of mine put it: almost every day we seem to get another gift. Christmas came early this year!

THE EXQUISITE MELTDOWN OF THE LEFT

The Dems can’t seem to stop outing themselves as lunatics, from their great show of concern and compassion for a wife-beating Salvadoran gang member, to the kidnapping and murder of beloved pet squirrel P’nut by the overzealous New York gestapo, they’re on the wrong side of…well…everything.

This reminds me of how Trump changed the political landscape during his first run in 2016 with just two words: “Fake news.”  Think of the courage it took to call out the mainstream media that way. And then rejoice in the fact that his pointing out that the Emperor wasn’t wearing any clothes got millions of previously trusting Americans to wake up. Perhaps even some Dems.

I said “perhaps.”

THE TRUTH HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT: WE HAVE A LARGER THAN LIFE AMERICAN HERO IN THE WHITE HOUSE

Even Leftist politico Van Jones blurted out some obvious truth in an interview on TikTok:

Donald Trump is not an idiot. Let me just be very clear: Donald Trump is smarter than me, you, and all critics. You know why we know? Because he has the White House, the Senate, the House, the popular vote, he has a massive media ecosystem, bigger than the mainstream, built around him and for him, and a religiously religious fervor in a political movement around him. And his best buddy is the richest person in the history of the world, and the most relevant Kennedy is with him. This dude is a phenomenon! He is the most powerful human on earth and in our lifetime and we’re still saying well how is this guy…we look like idiots.

But I’ll give Steve Bannon the last word:

…he [Trump] understood at the time that if he came back and ran for president again, not just the Republican Establishment but that the Apparatus would try to put him in prison, the Apparatus would try to bankrupt him, the Apparatus would eventually try to assassinate him. He made the most courageous political move in the history of this country…

Most countries don’t have someone like Trump in their entire history. We’ve been very fortunate to have General Washington at the founding of the nation, President Lincoln at the rebirth of the nation and now President Trump at the rejuvenation of this country… a man like that comes along every hundred years.  [Emphasis mine]

While we know the Radical Left and “One World Government” globalist elites will never give up and that vigilance must be our watchword, the MAGA Millions have surely earned a victory lap!

The incredible corruption in the Biden regime continues to pile higher and deeper. Whether it was the Green New Deal, or U.S. AID slush fund, or the 15 million illegal aliens he invited into America and/or flew into America in the dark of night, or his son Hunter’s bringing cocaine into the White House, or his Alzheimer’s Disease that was covered up for four years, or choosing Kamala Harris not for her competency but for her D.E.I. designation—-historians will scratch their heads as to how he maintained his fraudulent activities over his life time.

He screwed, cheated and filched billions of dollars out of hardworking taxpayers with his continued U.S. AID, billions in costs for ingesting 15 million illegal aliens with taxpayers paying for food, housing, medical, education, and cell phones; and now, the cost of deporting them, which will take years and years. If we don’t deport them, they are changing the “Personality of America” into an international farce. Same thing going on in Canada and Europe. We’re simply “Self-Terminating” ourselves by displacing ourselves with the human immigration mob demanding to get into America.

Fellow writer Pamela Keller said, “As soon as Kamala Harris lost the election, Biden began sending Democrat-aligned NGOs and companies $1.3 billion per day, almost $100 billion before Trump took office. In the prior 15 years the same loan office gave out just $40 billion, just $8 million a day. This was theft on a scale the world has never seen before. Trump needs to claw this money back.

“The Biden Administration pushed out $93 BILLION in green energy loans in the three months before President Trump took office.”

Joe Biden deliberately sabotaged Americans, all of us.

DOGE reported: The Biden admin’s last-minute $93B green loan spree epitomizes everything wrong with DC’s spending addiction. While the previous administration rushed to lock in pet projects, the Department of Government Efficiency has already clawed back $165 billion in waste through canceled contracts and fraud elimination.

Real energy leadership isn’t shoveling cash out the door – it’s strategic investments like the UAE’s $1.4 trillion commitment to American AI/energy sectors through stable, growth-focused partnerships. The days of midnight regulatory vandalism are over.

One of the promises on our money system states: In God We Trust.

As a country, as a culture, as a government, and as a civilization, we need to get back to the ethics, responsibilities and common sense of a citizenry that honors, teaches and mandates law and order. Without that, we will become a nation “gone under.”

What can we do? Answer: we need to stand up, speak out, write out, and call out corrupt politicians that “play” the system.

We must demand and mandate “Term Limits.” Whether it’s a maximum of serving four years or six—that’s it! As the British philosopher said, “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” That’s how former Speaker Nancy Pelosi became a multi-millionaire—-sheer, pure corruption. She knows it, her husband knows it, her family knows it, and fellow corrupt politicians know it. The only way to stop that “corrupts absolutely” is to vote for “Term Limits.”

Another thing that’s beyond stupid and beyond corrupt: the “Asylum Laws” voted into place a long time ago—-that can no longer remain applicable. We simply cannot save the rest of the world’s masses. Again, the third world adds 83,000,000 new babies annually, net gain, to the world. They are starving, dying, miserable, uneducated and their line only grows. It is WAY past time to terminate the “Asylum Law” that allows millions to walk into our civilization with no end in sight. Additionally, we cannot continue to import 1,000,000 third world immigrants annually. We’re full, bursting, bloated and overwhelmed with their numbers. We need to mandate “Zero” immigration from here on out. How much more crowded do we want to pack ourselves like sardines in a tin?

What else needs to change? How about we have half of the country that wants to degrade the other half of the country to actually speak about “solutions” instead of castigating the current president of the United States. Run on solutions, not on complaints. Start with those two mental midgets AOC and Jasmine Crockett. Good grief…are they intellectually challenged!

The same thing as to our educational systems: we need schools that mandate honoring our society, our governance, our history, our extraordinary U.S. Constitution and our culture. It’s not that hard to be proud of America when every single person of every race, color and creed enjoys INCREDIBLE latitude as to personal growth, personal wealth, personal effort and extraordinary enjoyment of “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” You just don’t find all of that in SO MUCH of the world.

We really NEED to come to terms with “Common Sense” when it comes to allowing .0000000001 percent of our citizens who are biological males competing and beating biological females…it’s nuts, unfair and dangerous for women. There’s a whole bunch of politicians and organizations with their heads screwed on backwards, illogically, irrationally and completely in LaLa Land. It’s up to us, the moral, ethical and rational portion of this society to STOP degrading the females of America. Again, as I’ve said in the past—-if transgenders want to compete among themselves, and form their own competitions, they can compete against each other—fairly, squarely and reasonably. Their supporters can cheer them onward. So, create the National Collegiate Transgender Athletic Association. That’s the only reasonable and common sense solution. Anything else is pure balderdash.

How about “Fair Trade” instead of “Free Trade”? You buy $100 billion in goods from us, and we buy $100 billion in goods from you. Keep it even and fair. Everyone wins!

How about the fact that millions our kids can’t read, write, spell or perform simple math? Let’s change the educational system to be based on merit, performance and parental responsibility. Let’s pay teachers the highest and best salaries because teaching is THE MOST IMPORTANT job in America. We can’t keep turning out the more than 800,000 illiterate, homeless Americans that drag this society into the gutter…along with themselves.

It’s either we return to “Common Sense” and resulting solutions in America, or we all lose.

It wasn’t so many years ago that the Kenyan by birth, Barack Obama, a.k.a., Barry Soeterro, rose illegally into the White House on his silver, duplicitous tongue, and that he said, “America is no longer a Christian nation.” Being a Muslim, and he lied like a snake pretending to be a Christian, he also pledged himself to Islam over America. We need to stand up to anyone who would undermine America. It’s our country for heaven sakes.

The one thing that matters: stand up for America in your home, with your kids, with your school, with your college, with your school board, with your city, with your state and with America. Uncle Sam and Aunt Samantha deserve your best; because when you do your best, America will remain in good hands down through time. God bless America.

Where have all the statesmen gone?

I have never been so disgusted with a group of people as I am with this Do Nothing Useful congress. President Trump is getting knocked around daily, and congress does absolutely nothing. Do they not realize that 2 years is a very short time till the next election??

President Trump is doing Executive Order (EO) after EO, to get us out of the mess OBiden put us in, and Congress does what? Watches? If Congress doesn’t turn these EO’s into law, the next RINO or Democrat President can cancel them all! Once again, we will end up on the Carousel of Hell, going round and round, feeling like we’re ready to throw up already. We’ve all experienced this as kids. You know, you eat too many sweets and a milkshake or 2, and whoa, that awesome carousel. Yeah, round and round, and there you go!

Does Congress care? I think not. The Debt is meaningless to them. What’s a few more trillion to throw away? Elon Musk dared to take a hard look at the bloated, corrupt government agencies and what did he get for it?? His cars and showrooms were torched. His stock took a serious slide, and Congress did nothing. Actually, they made it worse, by refusing to make the DOGE cuts permanent.

President Trump has over 200 lawsuits filed against the administration. The judges who should be defunded or impeached will always side with the Left.  They could care less what happens to America, they only want to “GET TRUMP”. Do you realize that by getting Trump, they are really destroying Americans? They are greedy, and don’t care. Here is an action alert from Dr. Rich Swier:

TAKE ACTION: Tell your  members of Congress to DEFUND ACTIVIST FEDERAL COURT JUDGES

PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH FAMILY, FRIENDS AND ON ALL OF YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS

Remember: It takes 67 votes in the US Senate to impeach activist Federal Court Judges. However it takes 50 votes, plus JD Vance, to defund and eliminate all of them!  Call your Senators and Representatives today, and tell them to defund them all NOW!! 

Newt Gingrich argues for cutting down district courts to curb judicial overreach

Florida has finally recognized the biggest lie of them all, “The Covid Vaccine is safe” Lie. Governor De Santis is being proactive in dealing with both CHEMTRAILS and  COVID injections. Where is Congress?? Where is the investigation into Fauci’s activities? Why are we paying that genocidal maniac $445,000 a year for his pension?

These issues and more, could be resolved if Congress was not full of RINOS.  What is a RINO you ask? A RINO represents his donors, NOT his constituents. A RINO is a Republican In Name only, votes with the Left,  and supports Socialist programs. I hope NC wakes up, Tom Tillis is my RINO of the week. Who is yours? Call Tom and tell him what you think.

Today’s show  and podcast are dedicated to RINO REMOVAL!!! My 2 guests are Daniel Jens and Gem Balboa. They are giving us a RINO education, and suggestions on how to purge them from Congress. Daniel wrote the RINO Song:

“THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.”  —Thomas Paine

It sickens and disgusts me to see those who claim to be Americans have become crazed supporters and doing everything in their power to protect and keep ILLEGAL aliens from being deported.  ILLEGAL means just that and the INVASION which took place, as planned, during the illegitimate Biden administration can only be fixed with a permanent solution by the GOP in Congress who need to find their spine.

Let me go back in time because this on-going nightmare could have been avoided had immigration laws been enforced.  But, of course, that was never the goal of the shadow government.  Points from my column below:

Illegal aliens: declaring war on the enablers, Mine, April 30, 2010: “It’s going to change our lives,” said Emilio Almodovar, a 13-year-old American citizen from Phoenix. “We can’t walk to school any more. We can’t be in the streets anymore without the pigs thinking we’re illegal immigrants.”

“The pigs? All to protect criminals. When was the last time you saw massive demonstrations and mayors come out in support of bank robbers?

“Thieves steal what doesn’t belong to them. The same applies to the 22 million illegal aliens who have invaded our country openly and in-your-face, stealing jobs, natural resources and bankrupting the states in welfare, food stamps and medical care. Not to mention the massive amount of drugs coming across the border as well as gangs and terrorists. Arizona should just roll over and do nothing while their citizens suffer such madness?  There is no difference. A thief is a thief.

“Oh, make no mistake about it, illegals are in an uproar and things are likely to get very ugly. Back on March 27, 2006, I wrote a column titled When Illegals Go Berserk, Will Your State be Prepared? Well, the situation is moving into a dangerous direction. Go watch to this harridan shout, “We will not stop! We will take up our shovels and pickaxes and we…we will use them against you! Believe that!”…

Enablers

Should officials of the FDIC be prosecuted? April 19, 2005

“The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is encouraging banks to sign up illegal aliens in the banking system, calling the growth of the market “a compelling incentive for U.S. banks to enter this largely untapped market.” And the FDIC program demonstrates that unbanked Latin American immigrants can be brought into the financial mainstream.

“But there are clear laws on the books for the integrity of the immigration system. United States criminal code, “It is a crime punishable by 10 years in jail for aiding and abetting someone in this country illegally for commercial gain.” And the Bank Secrecy Act of 1972 makes it clear banks must know their customer, and any illegal activity must be reported to the government.”

Why haven’t these state legislators been indicted? December 21, 2009

“But, what about state legislators who have voted to give these criminals driver’s licenses so they can work? Remember what the usurper in the White House, Obama/Soetoro said, “When I was a state senator in Illinois, I voted to require that illegal aliens get trained, get a license, get insurance to protect public safety. That was my intention. The problem we have here is not driver’s licenses. Undocumented workers do not come here to drive. They’re here to work.”

“They’re here to work? They have no right to even be in this country, much less help themselves to jobs that belong to Americans; violation of immigration law. Comrade Obama wants to reward them by stealing the fruits of your labor to train them, give them driver’s licenses and steal American jobs. This is the morally bankrupt individual people voted for to bring “change” and “hope.” Marxist Obama brought more of the same and worse. Juan McCain stands right next to him on this issue…

“But, what about state legislators who have voted to give these criminals driver’s licenses so they can work? Remember what the usurper in the White House, Obama/Soetoro said, “When I was a state senator in Illinois, I voted to require that illegal aliens get trained, get a license, get insurance to protect public safety. That was my intention. The problem we have here is not driver’s licenses. Undocumented workers do not come here to drive. They’re here to work.”

“This rot has seeped into the state houses as well. Four states of the Union allow these criminals to have driver’s licenses: Hawaii, New Mexico, Washington and Utah. Those state legislatures are aiding and abetting criminals who have violated federal laws. Those legislators and the governors have signaled loud and clear that it’s a good thing to reward those who break the law and rub it in our faces. What happens when an illegal with a Utah driver’s license hits and kills an American citizen in San Diego and then skips across the border? Are we then supposed to thank Utah’s legislature for the carnage they let loose?”

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. (Updated note: That way illegals can continue to steal the sweat of YOUR labor by taxing Americans and naturalized Americans into penury.)

“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.”

Nebraska Hustles To Keep Illegal Alien Medical Coverage – April 19, 2010

“On the heels of a federal crackdown, lawmakers in Nebraska are scrambling to pass legislation that will allow pregnant illegal immigrant women to continue receiving free, taxpayer-financed medical care. The state has for decades offered the costly perk to pregnant illegal aliens, whose “anchor babies” are automatically United States citizens. However, the federal government recently notified the state that it was illegally determining eligibility for publicly-funded medical care known as Medicaid.”

“Nebraskans: How does it feel to be raped by the enablers in your state legislature?”

County Gives $100k To Group That Aids Illegal Immigrants April 20, 2010 – End but there is a long list of more of this lawlessness in my column.

WHO let all of them get away with this?  Congress and DOJ.  And who was in charge of the Dept. of InJustice back then? Eric Holder was the Attorney General.  Longtime Federal Attorney: Eric Holder Protects Corrupt Prosecutors – “Not only has Mr. Holder failed to make any of the reforms he promised in the wake of his forced dismissal of the indictment against former Senator Ted Stevens, the changes he has made have been for the worse. Absent a dramatic about-face, Holder will leave the Department of Justice littered with corrupted prosecutions and prosecutors, his own contempt of Congress, numerous Supreme Court reversals, and scathing rebukes from federal judges.”  Well worth the time to read.

I voted for Donald Trump three times but that doesn’t mean I worship the ground he walks on but I always give credit where credit is deserved. THIS is a slap in the face to all Americans and those like both sets of my grand parents who came here legally.  President Trump has proposed paying ILLEGAL aliens to self-deport:  Trump signs EO offering illegal migrants ‘exit bonus’ in first-ever self-deportation program – Homeland Security said earlier this week that migrants would be offered a $1,000 stipend each to leave the US

And a free plane ride:  ‘Book your free flight now!’ Trump tells illegals how to self-deport, May 9, 2025.

Yes, it would save We the People a lot of money we’ve been raped for over the decades but rewarding illegal aliens isn’t necessary.  Oh, I know, weep, weep:  Most don’t have the money to return to whatever country they came from but they sure as hell found the money to get here with their expensive fancy phones. In California they get cash no questions asked and that is a fact I found in my research. Violation of federal immigration law.

JUST IN: Kristi Noem Issues Stern Warning as Trump Admin. Launches Landmark Investigation into California Providing Federal Benefits to Illegal Aliens, May 12, 2025

Call the George Soros Foundation or some of these pro-illegal non-profit organizations and tell them to pay your way home because illegal means just that and if you entered this country illegally, you are subject to being deported.

Of course, many of the scum bags in Congress are screaming their brains out (what little they might have) to protect illegal aliens.  That sow in the red outfit needs to be charged: “Definitely on the Table” – DHS Spox Says Members of Congress May Soon Be Arrested For BODYSLAMMING Female ICE Agent (VIDEO), May 10, 2025.  The videos are proof and both of those congress rats need to be charged with assault on federal agents. Got that DOJ? Those maggots don’t give a damn about the people. It’s all about future votes for the Democrat/Communist Party USA.  There’s More Footage of the Dem Insurrection at a NJ ICE Detention Center. They Assaulted Federal Agents, May 11, 2025

When Eisenhower deported 1.3 MILLION illegals there was none of this photo op crap and elected officials aiding and abetting illegals.  When liar and cheat illegitimate president, Hussein Obama, deported 3 million illegals where were all these weeping AOC’s?

If I sound cruel or mean, I’ve watched and written about this issue for more than two decades while Republicans did nothing to stop the invasion which went into full gear the minute illegitimate president and life long career criminal, Joe Biden, was sworn into office. That is a FACT.  Oh, a lot of BS during endless hearings but the GOP held the majority in Congress three times with a GOP president and could have permanently fixed the problem just like they can again now.

A Bill: Stop all Public Welfare in Any Form for Illegal Aliens, Mine August 24, 2014. I was referring to a bill introduced by career crook (now deceased) Dirty Harry Reid [D-NV) that would stop all welfare at any level for illegal aliens.  Go read his press release at the top of the article where he hammers against illegal aliens:

“Safeguards like welfare and free medical care are in place to boost Americans in need of short-term assistance. These programs were not meant to entice freeloaders and scam artists from around the world. Even worse, Americans have seen heinous crimes committed by individuals who are here illegally.”

“His statements were to announce a bill he introduced back then titled the Immigration Stabilization Act [S.1351]. I’m betting it was not written by Dirty Harry, but by lawyers who know what they’re doing and the sure to come legal challenges. It covers the whole gambit of turning off the trillions spent over the past 28 years since Reagan sold us out. There were 3 cosponsors for the bill. Then Dirty Harry did a 180 and became a champion of illegals.

I sent page one of the bill with a letter to more than a dozen GOP senators and dozens of GOP House reps over the years who claim during boob tube interviews how we have to close the border! The last one was to Rep. Chip Roy [R-TX]. After Trump was elected in 2016, I sent it to him twice and twice to Stephen Miller at the WH.  I’ve never received ONE SINGLE RESPONSE FROM ANY OF THEM.  Trump I understand as he has staff who open the mail.

And here we are today with partisan hack judges siding with illegals for “rights” they aren’t entitled to because they came to our country illegally.  AND YOU AND I HAVE BEEN FOOTING THE BILL FOR THEIR LAWYERS.

Well, what a shock two weeks ago when Michael Berry on his morning show on a Lubbock, TX radio station actually mentioned Harry Reid and his bill to stop all welfare (began with Prop 187, 1994 in California) for illegals because it is the big magnet. Unfortunately, he didn’t devote a decent amount of time explaining the bill because it has a very important section:

TITLE X–CITIZENSHIP

SEC. 1001. BASIS OF CITIZENSHIP CLARIFIED.

“In the exercise of its powers under section 5 of the Fourteenth Article of Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, the Congress has determined and hereby declares that any person born after the date of enactment of this title to a mother who is neither a citizen of the United States nor admitted to the United States as a lawful permanent resident, and which person is a national or citizen of another country of which either of his or her natural parents is a national or citizen, or is entitled upon application to become a national or citizen of such country, shall be considered as born subject to the jurisdiction of that foreign country and not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States within the meaning of section 1 of such Article and shall therefore not be a citizen of the United States or of any State solely by reason of physical presence within the United States at the moment of birth.”

The U.S. Supreme Court is going to hear oral arguments on the scam called anchor babies who are NOT U.S. citizens on May 15, 2025. I hope the Solicitor General hammers on the history of the Fourteenth Amendment – as in read the damn Congressional Record – and the intent of Congress at the time.  No doubt the Marxists on the court will vote in favor of the anchor baby scam and it will not surprise me if Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett votes with them.  ‘Bombshell’: John Roberts slapped with lawsuit, accused of ‘unconstitutional shadow agency’, May 6, 2025

Protecting the meaning and Value of American Citizenship, Trump Executive Order, Jan. 20, 2025  (Text of Trump’s EO) – It was covered by FOX news stating it “will almost certainly face an immediate legal challenge from civil rights and immigration activist groups…” Of course, and that’s just what happened and what the “Supreme Court” will hear oral arguments on the 15^th.

Brilliant SCOTUS Brief Destroys Birthright Citizenship Hoax!, May 4, 2025 – Watch the brief being discussed and analyzed by Robert Gouveia Esq. on his YouTube channel at this link. Or, here is the brief in full to read.

Supporters of lawlessness and illegals regardless of country of origin don’t give a damn. All Hell Broke Loose When ICE Showed Up in This Town, May 11, 2025. Here comes the mob ready to assault federal agents.  The woman is here illegally so her only right is to be taken into custody and shipped out of here.  Too bad if she owns a house or a car or has a job.  She has ZERO right to remain in our country. DHS says Massachusetts city council member ‘incited chaos’ as ICE arrested ‘violent criminal alien’, May 11, 2025

Minors of illegals:  Blame your parents for violating OUR immigration laws.  Separation of families:  Go with parents because you should be with your mom and dad (if there’s one around), but if you’re here illegally, you are going to get deported.

What needs to happen.  Asylum seekers are given 30 days to go back to Mexico to wait for a court date; 93% of those cases are thrown out.  Scamming the system. Court Blocks Remain in Mexico Reimplementation, April 17, 2025.  But it was fine during Trump’s first term which caused thousands to head to Mexico to wait for court dates.  Oh, no, some damn partisan judge now says no.  BS.  So, once again you, me and our children will pay for asylum seekers life styles while they wait for court dates as far out as five years.  We are little better than indentured servants to support illegals by taxing us to death.

Republicans in the House and Senate need to introduce a bill that stops ALL welfare, federal or state in ANY form. Employers will be fined $25,000 for each illegal picked up while working for their company.  Get it passed so Trump can sign it.  Know what will happen?  Not a decade of ICE raids and potential violence such as what happened at the town mentioned above, but we will see MILLIONS of illegals self-deport to Mexico and Canada where they crossed the border.  Let those countries deal with the disaster they created by allowing train loads and caravans of illegals to our borders.

Not to mention our dedicated ICE agents fighting against the drug cartels while the ‘new’ female president of Mexico hides her cowardice behind ‘strong words’.

I don’t know about you but I am sick and fed up with sissies and weak-kneed cowards in  Congress and state legislatures who allowed the invasion under Biden, not to mention giving out driver’s licenses and hiring illegals. Fed up with partisan judges and cowardly judges with their BS about due process for illegals who are NOT legal citizens of our country.  Fed up with the death and destruction and being taxed to death to support the freeloaders, terrorists, vicious gang members, criminals and the world’s trash. 

No doubt such a bill if signed into law would immediately be challenged by pro-open border lawyers with more lawsuits, but maybe not.  As I said in my column from 2014 about stopping all welfare, I don’t believe for a second it was written by Dirty Harry Reid but attorneys (obviously Democrats) to withstand any court challenges.  Got that Republicans in Congress? (In my 2014 column I did recommend a few changes and wrote new sections for Reid’s bill which you can read here.

DEMAND this from Congress and stay on them with phone calls, faxes, emails.

“Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt has lost its savour, wherewith it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and to be trodden under foot of men.” – Matthew 5:13

Not too long ago, I took the time to get acquainted with the local law enforcement as to what’s been happening locally within the county.

I asked this person what his take was concerning the fruit of the church (Matthew 7:16–20), and in response, he said that they were great.  I then asked what was being taught in the public schools locally.  To this question, he just looked at me.  So, I proceeded to answer my own question.

I told him that they are indoctrinating the children with an abortion agenda (Proverbs 6:17), evolution, and the homosexual agenda, and the history books are being changed every 3 to 5 years.  The young people are literally being subjected to everything and protected from nothing.  This is how good of a job that churches are doing.  Culture is the church’s report card.

As a matter of fact, the young people are asking the question as to where the love is that the church overseers talk so much about.

George Barna, from the Barna research group, found that after surveying the said pastors from across the country as to why they were not preaching against the sins of the nation, what he found was that when he asked the pastors about all the key issues of the day, 90% of them told him that, yes, the Bible speaks to every one of these issues. Then they were asked if they were teaching their people what the Bible says about those issues – And the numbers drop… to less than 10% of pastors who say they will speak to it.

When researchers asked those pastors what else they are willing to do to get their people active in their political process, Barna said, it’s almost nothing.

“So, the thing that struck me has been that when we talk about the separation of church and state (there is no such thing found within any American founding documents), it’s that churches have separated themselves from the activities of the state—and that’s to the detriment of the state and its people,” stated the researcher.

Why the disconnect? According to Barna, the answer is simple.  He suggests asking pastors how someone would know if their church is successful—which he did.

“There are five factors that the vast majority of pastors turn to (when asked that question),” he explained.

He found that the number one reason was that they cared more about attendance, and the number two reason was their offerings.

The rest of their top priorities were the number of programs they had in place, staff, and, believe it or not, the square footage of what they call their churches.

“Now all of those things are good measures, except for one tiny fact: Jesus didn’t die for any of them,” Barna continued. “What I am suggesting is (those pastors) won’t probably get involved with politics because it is very controversial. Controversy keeps people from being in the seats, controversy keeps people from giving money, from attending programs. As they look at things, their tendency is to say, well, that’s not my part of my mission; My mission is to bring in more people and to get them to understand certain things that I feel that they should know.”

Barna also thinks it has something to do with the training of pastors.

“When you look at what they get in Bible school or in the seminary, they are not taught to get people engaged in these particular issues,” he shared. “They are taught just to exegete (exposition; explanation; interpretation) scriptures; they are taught something about the history of where those scriptures came from—but they are not prepared.”

The prince of preachers, Charles Spurgeon, said, “A church that does not exist to reclaim heathenism, to fight evil, to destroy air, to put down falsehood, a church that does not exist to take the side of the poor, to denounce injustice, and to hold up righteousness, is a church that has no right to be. Not for yourself, oh church, do you exist any more than Christ existed for Himself?”

So, in conclusion, I ask you, what is your church doing to combat the evils of today?  Pastors, are you taking a stand in preaching the uncompromising truth from the word of God (though controversial it may be) that slays sin and upholds righteousness?  If not, then you need to repent!  You are not called to people-please or to compromise; you are called to be a faithful servant of Jesus Christ.

• Who controls your children’s education?
• Can schools hide what they are teaching the children?
• Are opt-outs optional or mandatory?

The question of if and when parents should be allowed to opt their children out of certain activities and curriculum in public schools has been raging for quite a while. With our society’s rapidly changing standards, the need for parents to oversee and control the upbringing of their children has become even more important. Yet the Montgomery County School Board decided that in one area of instruction, story time, parents of children as young as three-years old would not be allowed to opt their children out of religiously objectionable material. Did the School Board violate the First Amendment or maybe another one?

Background

The length of oral arguments, at two and a half hours, should give you an idea of the importance both the attorneys and the justices placed on this case. Because of the amount of content covered during these arguments, this will be a long article.

We start with the question brought to the court.

Respondent Montgomery County Board of Education requires elementary school teachers to read their students storybooks celebrating gender transitions, Pride parades, and same-sex playground romance. The storybooks were chosen to disrupt “cisnormativity” and “either/or thinking” among students. The Board’s own principals objected that the curriculum was “not appropriate for the intended age group,” presented gender ideology as “fact,” “sham[ed]” students with contrary opinions, and was “dismissive of religious beliefs.” The Board initially allowed parents to opt their kids out—but then reversed course, saying that no opt-outs would be permitted and that parents would not even be notified when the storybooks were read.

There are two points we need to keep in mind before we proceed. First, it is the right of parents to control the upbringing of their children. That includes both their academic and religious training. Second, while aschools have some limited power In Loco Parentis or “in place of the parents” when the students are in school, that power does not supersede parent’s rights to oversee the training of their children.

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Petition For A Writ Of Certiorari

Petitioners filed suit, not challenging the curriculum, but arguing that compelling their elementary-age children to participate in instruction contrary to their parents’ religious convictions violated the Free Exercise Clause.

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Petition For A Writ Of Certiorari

Notice, the parents are not trying to change the school curriculum, but only to be allowed to exercise their right to determine what is appropriate for the religious education of their child. Personally, I would have used a different argument, for several reasons, but I will get into that later.

Ultimately, the question before the court is:

Do public schools burden parents’ religious exercise when they compel elementary school children to participate in instruction on gender and sexuality against their parents’ religious convictions and without notice or opportunity to opt out?

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Petition For A Writ Of Certiorari

ORAL ARGUMENT OF ERIC S. BAXTER ON BEHALF OF THE PETITIONERS

As always, arguments start with the attorney for the petitioner.

1. BAXTER: Mr. Chief Justice, and may it please the Court:

Parents everywhere care about how their young children are taught sexuality and gender identity. That’s why nearly every public school in the country that provides sexuality education requires parental consent first. But Montgomery County is an extreme outlier, insisting that every elementary school student must be instructed that, among other controversial matters, doctors guessed at their sex when they were born and that anyone who disagrees is hurtful and unfair.

Forcing Petitioners to submit their children to such instruction violates their religious beliefs and directly interferes with their ability to direct the religious upbringing of their children.

One of the points that will be brought up is that some parents objected to the curriculum for other than religious reasons. This is one of the reasons I would have argued differently.

The Board claims this straightforward burden analysis will invite chaos. But schools nationwide have long applied expansive opt-out policies without significant difficulty, including the Board itself, which stills allows opt-outs for choir students who object to singing religious songs or students who object to certain storybooks, such as one that portrays an image of the Prophet Muhammad. Exempting students for some religious reasons but not others cannot be squared with the First Amendment.

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

This is the common, and I believe flawed, First Amendment jurisprudence currently enforced by our federal courts. This cannot be a First Amendment issue since Congress did not pass this as a law. That does not mean this isn’t a freedom of religion case, just that it does not come from the First Amendment.

The decision of the Montgomery Board of Education to stop allowing opt-outs has had a significant impact on many families.

The Board does not dispute that under its theory, it could compel instruction using pornography and parents would have no rights. The First Amendment demands more. Parents, not school boards, should have the final say on such religious matters.

I welcome the Court’s questions.

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

Before we get into those questions, I’d like to look at the other arguments.

SARAH M. HARRIS, ESQ. as amicus curiae, supporting the Petitioners

Next up is Sarah Harris, Principal Deputy Solicitor General for the United States, arguing in support of the petitioners.

1. HARRIS: Mr. Chief Justice, and may it please the Court:

When the government forces people to choose between violating sincerely held religious beliefs or foregoing a public benefit, that burdens religious exercise.

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

You’ll find that this idea of “burden” is a recurring theme, especially during questions. The First Amendment prohibits Congress from passing a law that prohibits the free exercise of religion, but how far can Congress go before it prohibits? The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defines burden as to load or oppress. By adding an extra burden to the exercise of religion, the courts have maintained that is sufficient to trigger the First Amendment’s prohibition.

Here, Montgomery County offers a free public education to parents only if their children use books featuring same-sex relationships and transgender issues. That burdens parents of multiple faiths whose religious duty is to shield their young children from such content.

Public schools routinely accommodate those burdens with opt-outs, which respect families of many faiths and backgrounds. Several states allow opt-outs from any learning material on religious grounds. Montgomery County allows many other opt-outs, just not here.

I welcome the Court’s questions.

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

Montgomery County offers “free” public education. Actually, since these public schools are funded largely by local taxes, Montgomery County offers education paid for primarily by the residents of the county. As such, that makes it a “public benefit.” By denying said benefit to people based on their religious beliefs, the county is burdening these families by requiring either that they compromise their faith or go somewhere else at their own expense. Also, since Montgomery County seems to be the only county in the state, possibly the nation, that refuses to offer opt-outs for this kind of instruction, and since the county allows opt-outs for other religious reasons, this seems to be a targeted attempt at indoctrination.

As you might expect, the Montgomery County Board of Education does not agree.

ORAL ARGUMENT OF ALAN E. SCHOENFELD ON BEHALF OF THE RESPONDENTS

Representing Thomas Taylor, Superintendent of the Montgomery County Board of Education, along with the other respondents, is Alan Schoenfeld.

1. SCHOENFELD: Mr. Chief Justice, and may it please the Court:

Every day in public elementary school classrooms across the country, children are taught ideas that conflict with their family’s religious beliefs. Children encounter real and fictional women who forego motherhood and work outside the home. Children read books valorizing our nation’s veterans who fought in violent wars. And children in Montgomery County read books introducing them to LGBT characters. Each of these things is deeply offensive to some people of faith, but learning about them is not a legally cognizable burden on free exercise.

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

Funny, I don’t know many religions that prohibit being a mother or working outside the home. I do know people who prefer these things, and of course it is a tenant of Roman Catholic doctrine to encourage natural motherhood, but does that give the state the authority to say children must be taught these things? The question isn’t can the state teach these things, but can the state force these things to be taught and that they are right and good? Is this force a burden on a parent’s free exercise of religion?

Adopting Petitioners’ view of the case would conscript courts into playing the role of school board, a task for which this Court has recognized they are ill suited. And a constitutional requirement to provide opt-outs from anything someone finds religiously offensive would mean public schools must find alternative classrooms, supervision for young students, and substitute lessons each time a potentially offensive topic arises. That is not what the Constitution requires, particularly given the special characteristics of the school environment.

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

Actually, that is exactly what the Constitution of the United States requires of Congress. Public schools already find alternative classrooms, supervision, and lessons for other religious objects, so why would story time be such a burden to the Montgomery County Schools?

Contrary to what Mr. Schoenfeld has said, the burden would be on the schools not the courts. A simple, you must accommodate the religious beliefs of both students and parents, does not engage the courts unless the schools refuse to do so.

This Court has made clear that exposure to offensive ideas does not burden free exercise, and it has held that the government is not required to do its daily work in ways that make it easier for parents to raise their children in the faith.

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

This idea of exposure vs instruction took up a lot of time during questioning. So much so that I have an entire section on it.

The books at issue here, five among hundreds in the curriculum, are meant to foster mutual respect in a pluralistic school community. MCPS makes explicitly clear that students do not need to accept, agree with, or affirm anything they read or anything about their classmates’ beliefs or lives. The lesson is that students should treat their peers with respect.

I welcome the Court’s questions.

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

Again, it is not the quantity of objectionable material that is the problem, but the forcing of students to consume it.

Exposure vs Instruction

As I mentioned above, the question of exposure vs instruction was a central topic during questioning. Let’s look at some of the highlights.

JUSTICE THOMAS: Could you spend a minute or two to explain how the — why the record shows that the children are more than merely exposed to the — these sorts of things in the storybooks? …

1. BAXTER: No. We know that the — the teachers are required to use the books. When the books were first introduced in August of 2022, the Board suggested they be used five times before the end of the year. That’s in the — that’s at 273a in the cert appendix. One of the schools, the Sherwood School, in June, for Pride Month, said that they were going to read one book each day to celebrate Pride Month. The Board’s own testimony through Superintendent Hazel said that the books must be used as part of the instruction and that, at 650 — 642 in the appendix, that discussion will ensue.

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

It was not as if these books were in the school library or on the classroom bookshelves and available to the students. The Board not only suggested they be used multiple times is one school year, but one school made a point of reading them to celebrate Pride Month. That’s the celebration of deviant sexual behavior, including parades and other events consisting of people in lewd dress often engaging in suggestive if not pornographic activities. Why did the Board want this as mandatory instruction?

That was the entire point of withdrawing the opt-outs and removing even notifying parents. They’re not even allowed to know. The Board said in that statement it was so that every student would be taught from the inclusivity storybooks. And also, the district court transcript at 63 has counsel’s admission that there have — some of the books have to be used and it can be more.

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

The obvious point was not merely to expose children as young as 3 to 4 years old to these ideas, but to instruct them to both celebrate and normalize them.

Justice Sotomayor and Mr. Baxter got into quite an exchange about the topic of exposure vs coercion.

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: Let’s go back. Is it generally that the mere exposure — haven’t we made very clear that the mere exposure to things that you object to is not coercion?

1. BAXTER: It would really depend on the individual religious beliefs. Here, for example, our Catholic clients —

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: So what you’re saying is that the exposure of children to the fact that two people are getting married is coercion? That two people of the same sex are getting married is coercion?

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

Justice Sotomayor sounds more like a prosecuting attorney on cross-examination than a justice of the Supreme Court. Of course, she was not the only one to interrupt Mr. Baxter, but you should get the flavor of this line of questioning. She also seems to ignore the fact that looking at pictures was not all that was included in this curriculum.

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: For reality’s sake, you see interfaith couples all the time walking around. You see interracial couples walking — walking around. You see women on this Court in positions of work outside the home.

1. BAXTER: And no one here is raising a — a burden in that situation. We’re far beyond that where our indoctrination —

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

The point that both Justice Sotomayor and Mr. Baxter seem to miss is that there is a difference between exposure to something as you go about your business, and being compelled by law and policy to expose your children to it. Furthermore, as we’ll see, this was not mere exposure, but indoctrination since the teachers were encouraged to both make these books part of the instruction and to correct those who disagree with their message. Take for example this interchange between Justice Barret and Mr. Schoenfeld for the respondents.

this is an instruction to the teacher, “If a student observes that a girl can only like boys because she’s a girl, the Board suggested that the teacher disrupt the student’s either/or thinking by saying something like: Actually, people of any gender can like whoever they like.”

You know, or, on the transgender issue, “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; sometimes they’re wrong. When someone’s transgender, they guess wrong. When someone’s cisgender, they guessed right.”

So, you know, it’s kind of along those things, which seem to be more about influence, right, and shaping of ideas and less about communicating respect because it’s less about communicating respect for those, you know, who are transgender, who are gay, and more about how to think about sexuality.

What is your take on that and how we think about this, whether this really is just about exposure and civility and learning to function in a multicultural and diverse society and how much of it is about influence or, as Petitioners would say, indoctrination?

1. SCHOENFELD: Certainly. I think what you quoted, Your Honor, are suggested responses or proposed responses for age-appropriate ways to respond to questions that may arise in response to these texts or otherwise.

The same response about disrupt the either/or thinking is given when someone says dresses are for girls, boys can’t paint their nails, those are boy toys. These are simply ways of contextualizing the information that’s being learned and to give students the predicates for being able to respect each other.

The school — the — the express directive from the school is you don’t need to understand your peers, you don’t need to agree with them, you don’t need to affirm with them, but you do need to treat them with respect.

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

Except the expressed message directive from the school is that one side is right and the other is wrong. The instruction isn’t, “There are people who believe this, and we should treat them the way we want to be treated.” Rather it’s promoting these agendas by claiming they are right and opposition is, by definition, wrong. To a young child, this is the equivalent of telling them their parents are wrong. How can that not be indoctrination?

Then Justice Alito got into the questioning.

JUSTICE ALITO: Yeah, the book has — the book has a clear message, and a lot of people think it’s a good message, and maybe it is a good message, but it’s a message that a lot of people who hold on to traditional religious beliefs don’t agree with.

I don’t think anybody can read that and say, well, this is just telling children that there are occasions when men marry other men, that Uncle Bobby gets married to his boyfriend, Jamie, and everybody’s happy and everything is — you know, it portrays this — everyone accepts this except for the little girl, Chloe, who has reservations about it. But her mother corrects her: No, you shouldn’t have any reservations about this. …

JUSTICE ALITO: It has a clear moral message. And it may be a good message. It’s just a message that a lot of religious people disagree with.

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

Yes, these books have clear moral messages. And contrary to what is being argued by Mr. Schoenfeld, this is not a case of mere exposure, but coercion and indoctrination into the messages these books promote.

Justice Jackson tried to come up with an analogy that would fit her understanding of the situation.

I’m just trying to find an analogous public — benefit outside of the school context and ask you whether your position is that it substantially burdens the rights of religious parents if there are advertisements on a public bus that say things that they don’t want their children exposed to.

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

I think a better analogy to what the schools are doing would be to consider how the parent instructs the child to deal with the advertising. A parent could teach their children to simply turn their gaze away from such advertisements while the school is effectively saying, “No, you must look, because it is right.”

Justice Gorsuch brought up another point.

JUSTICE GORSUCH: Yeah. Okay. And your — you’ve included these in the English language curriculum rather than the human sexuality curriculum to influence students, is that fair? That’s what the district court found. Do you agree with that?

1. SCHOENFELD: I think, to the extent the district court found that it was to influence, it was to influence them towards civility, the natural consequence of being exposed to —

JUSTICE GORSUCH: Whatever, but to influence them.

1. SCHOENFELD: In the manner that I just mentioned, yes.

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

Yes, even the attorney for the Board admits this curriculum is to influence the children. However, as we’ve already seen, it is not toward civility but acceptance.

Are Opt-Outs Unworkable?

The Montgomery County Board of Education claims that they stopped offering opt-outs for this curriculum because they found it administratively unworkable.

JUSTICE THOMAS: Couldn’t you solve those differences simply by restoring the opt-out?

1. SCHOENFELD: Your Honor, I — I think, in this case, the record makes clear that the school district did try to honor the opt-out, and at some point, it became infeasible. Certainly, there are circumstances where the right decision a school board might make in view of the particular needs of a community is to offer the opt-out. It’s a different question from whether it’s constitutionally required.

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

But during Chief Justice Roberts questioning of Mr. Baxter, administration of the opt-outs didn’t seem to be as big a deal as Mr. Schoenfeld would later state.

CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: The school board alleges that the opt-out system became unworkable. Is that a — is that a factor we should take into account in deciding whether it could be required?

1. BAXTER: Certainly, there —

CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: Does it have to be required?

1. BAXTER: — there could be situations where it could be unworkable. The Board never raised that until after this litigation commenced. When they announced the withdrawal, they said it was because every student needed to read the inclusivity books. When they produced documents in response to an open records request, there was no mention of it not being workable.

When parents met with the superintendents — this is at the — in the Hisham Garti declaration at JA 44 — the reason given there was inclusivity. There was no mention of administrability until we get to — until the litigation’s been filed, and even then, all the Board was able to come up with was the argument that in — in one instance in one school, there were dozens of students who opted out, where, if the average school size in Montgomery County is 700 students across at least a dozen classrooms, you’re talking maybe one student per classroom. That hardly compares with the one in eight students who are opted out for individual education programs, students — 15 percent of students in Montgomery County who are taking English for speakers of a second language, the Board’s own opt-outs that are required from the same instruction, required by state law to be opted out when the — when the same books are read in health class.

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

If the administration of these opt-outs is so onerous, why was it not mentioned when their cancelation was announced, in the documents produced, or even when meeting with the parents? Could it be that there’s more to this administrative problem than meets the eye? Justice Thomas dug into this a little deeper.

JUSTICE THOMAS: You — in — in, I think, chatting with Justice Kavanaugh, you mentioned that the opt-out was unworkable because there were so many students who opted out. What did you mean by that?

1. SCHOENFELD: So the — the record is limited on this point, but the Hazel declaration talks about the fact that principals reported to the School Board that there was high absenteeism and gave the example of one school where dozens of students were opting out.

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

Again, the problem the Board saw that led them to cancel these opt-outs is the number of students opting out. Which I think points us to another question. Why are there are so many opt-outs of this curriculum? Could it be that this curriculum was so offensive to so many people that the only way for the Board to teach this nonsense was for them to force it down the student’s throats? That is not teaching respect and kindness for others, but totalitarian conformity to the government’s views.

Age Appropriate

Justice Alito and Mr. Baxter had an interesting discussion about age appropriateness.

What are the ages of the children who are involved here?

1. BAXTER: These books were approved for pre-K, which in Montgomery County can start as early as 3 if they’re going to turn 4 that fall.

JUSTICE ALITO: And it goes up to what?

6. BAXTER: The — the books that we’ve all talked about go through grade 6.

JUSTICE ALITO: All right. So you’re talking about children maybe in the age of 5 to 11 or 4 to 11. Now would you agree that at a certain age — at that — at a certain age, students are capable of understanding this point, which probably is not a point that can be understood by a four- or five-year old, and that is that my teacher, who is generally telling me that certain things are right and that certain things are wrong, isn’t necessarily going to be correct on everything? It is possible for me to disagree with him or her on certain subjects? Would you agree that there comes a point when a student is able to make that distinction?

1. BAXTER: That’s right. And many of our clients’ objections would be diminished as their children got older. But, here, we’re in a situation where Montgomery County’s own principals objected that these books were inappropriate for the age, that they were dismissive of religion and shaming toward children who disagree. The Board itself withdrew two of the books for what it said were content concerns because it finally agreed that what parents and petition — and its own principals were saying was accurate.

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

Most of us would agree that there are topics that are not appropriate for children as young as three or four years of age. But who determines what those are? More importantly, how granular is that decision? Because while we are dealing with classrooms of children, each and every one of them mature at different rates. If it’s appropriate for 50% of a class is that good enough? Should the teacher be the one determining what is appropriate for a child of a certain age? Should the Board? And what about the 50% of students who are not prepared to deal with a certain subject? Should they be harmed because the Board wants this education promoted?

Speaking of this education, why is the Board of Education working so hard to force children to learn about these subjects?

JUSTICE ALITO: Yeah. And one final factor that may distinguish this particular case from some of the others that you have been asked to express a view about, and you did touch on this, is the fact that it concerns sex and — and gender and that the — the Maryland legislature itself has recognized these subjects raise special concerns and has provided for an opt-out from the health classes where these matters are discussed.

1. BAXTER: That’s right. And, currently, from — in Montgomery County, you can opt out from the very same instruction during health class, but then you’re required to stay during — during story time.

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

Isn’t that interesting? You can opt out of instruction during health class, but when the exact same subject comes up in story time the Board says no.

Mr. Baxter pointed out an interesting incongruity in the Board’s argument.

And then also a question about when sex ed starts. The Board’s and the — the state’s mandated regulation is in the record. It’s at pages 62 through 83 of the Joint Appendix. There, you start in pre-K with instruction that parents can — or families can come in all different forms with all different kinds of parents, different kinds of gender identities and expressions. The same things that are being taught through the school — schoolbooks, you can opt out when it comes up during health class but not during story time, which — in which there’s no instruction about how to use these — these books to develop characters, a narrative arc, or anything else that you would expect in an English class.

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

The question of the age appropriateness of starting sex ed in pre-K is one thing. Hiding it in so-called English curriculum is something else.

Go Somewhere Else

Justice Jackson made an interesting point, but not the one I think she intended.

In that situation, I guess I’m struggling to see how it burdens a parent’s religious exercise if the school teaches something that the parent disagrees with. You have a choice. You don’t have to send your kid to that school. You can put them in another situation. You can home-school them.

How is it a burden on the parent if they have the option to send their kid elsewhere?

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

Talk about living in an ivory tower. Justice Jackson acts as if sending your child to a private school or home-schooling them is a simple matter. Apparently she doesn’t realize what’s involved in either of those choices.

1. BAXTER: Well, Your Honor, the world we live in in this case is that most parents don’t have that option. They have two working parents. They can’t afford to send to private school.

JUSTICE JACKSON: Yes, as a matter of practicality, absolutely.

1. BAXTER: And that’s the reality for our parents.

JUSTICE JACKSON: I understand. But, in so many other constitutional doctrines, we don’t focus on whether people actually can afford to protect their rights.

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

What’s odd to me is that nowhere else is the right to protect your religious freedom from government infringement based on whether or not you can afford to do so. This court has repeatedly stated that you cannot be deprived of a public benefit because of your religious beliefs. But according to Justice Jackson, public school is different?

And what I guess I’m worried about is a world in which, when there is an option to send your kid somewhere else, it seems to me that these parents would be dictating what this school does in the way that you say our cases say they can’t do, right?

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

Tell me, Justice Jackson, will the parents who have left Montgomery County schools because of their opt-out police be reimbursed for the taxes they’ve already paid to support that school? It’s not merely whether they can afford other options; they have been taxed under threat of fines and jail to pay for these schools.

Justice Alito got into a similar discussion with Mr. Schoenfeld.

So you have a case where some of the plaintiffs are devout Muslims. They say: We have a solemn religious obligation to raise our children as Muslims, and that involves certain moral principles that we want to instill in our children, and the school is teaching our children moral principles that are in conflict with ours.

And we pay taxes to support the public schools, but we don’t have enough money to send our children to private schools. And one of us can’t stay home and provide home-schooling. So we just want to be able to take our children out of the part of the instruction that we find objectionable.

And what’s your response to that? Your response to that is just: Well, it’s too bad, all right? This is the public school and the public school can teach what the public school wants. And you don’t like that. Well, you can take your — you can send your — your children to private schools.

1. SCHOENFELD: There’s no indifference to the religious beliefs of the Petitioners in this case. The school did what it could to accommodate those views. There are simply circumstances in which what the Petitioner or what any plaintiff recognizes that a burden on their religious belief is not a legally cognizable one given legal and practical justifications.

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

Except the Board never mentioned the administration of the opt-out until the law suit, and the main complaint regarding administering the opt-out is the number of people opting out. Does that sound like respect for the parent’s religious beliefs? Not to Justice Alito.

JUSTICE ALITO: Well, it’s nice that you say that they respect the parents’ religious beliefs, but, basically, your answer is it’s just too bad.

…

JUSTICE ALITO: You’ve got to send your school — your children to school. You can’t afford to send them to any place except a public school, unlike, you know, most of the lawyers who argue cases here, they can send their children to — to private schools, and they think that that’s the way most of the world is. But it’s not. It’s just too bad.

1. SCHOENFELD: My answer is that public schools are democratically controlled for a reason. The School Board here is democratically elected. The entire process of adopting this curriculum is open and transparent. These books are on review for 30 days before they’re even made part of the curriculum. There is then a multi-level appeal process. There is plenty of opportunity for parental insight.

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

Except neither the United States, nor the State of Maryland are democracies, they are constitutional republics. And this is a perfect example of why we are not a democracy. Democracies allow the majority to overrule the rights of the minority. Simply because a majority of the people of Montgomery County chose board members who wish to promote a sexual agenda on children as young as three years old does not deprive their parents of the right to public benefits without compromising their religious beliefs.

As Mr. Baxter pointed out in his rebuttal, this was hardly a democratic process.

This was not a democratic process. Withdrawing these overnight, comparing parents to xenophobes and white supremacists, this can’t be part of the — of the democratic process.

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

Under Maryland law, parents are compelled to send their children to public schools unless they ask for an exemption. And now, when everyone else, religious or otherwise, is allowed to benefit from these schools, Justice Jackson and the Montgomery County Board of Education wants to bar the door just as George Wallace did with the University of Alabama in 1963, simply because their religion does not promote this sexualization of children. How can that not be a burden on the free exercise of religion?

Actions of the Board

Another concern that Mr. Baxter brought up was how the board treated the reactions of the parents.

JUSTICE KAVANAUGH: But then complaints were raised, right?

1. BAXTER: That’s right. Hundreds of parents complained. These were mostly — according to news articles, mostly families from Muslim faith and Ethiopian Orthodox who were objecting.

When they — when they spoke to the Board, the Board accused them of using their religious beliefs as another reason to hate, accused a young Muslim girl of parroting her parents’ dogma, and then accused the parents of aligning with racist xenophobes and white supremacists.

And so, again, there’s no question in this case that there is a burden, that it was imposed with animosity, and that it’s discriminating against our clients because of their religious beliefs.

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

Could it be that the board was less concerned about the administration of these opt-outs than the religious nature of them? After all, claiming that a young girl’s parents are racist xenophobes and white supremacists because they object to their daughter being sexualized at a young age seems to be a deflection. The parents weren’t complaining about the race of their characters in the books, but the lessons they were teaching their daughter.

Justice Gorsuch got Mr. Schoenfeld to admit the Board’s bias against religion.

JUSTICE GORSUCH: So you take the view that even if you have a non-neutral policy, and even if it was motivated by hostility toward religion, and even though the parents claim a burden, you still have to somehow meet an additional objective substantial burden test?

1. SCHOENFELD: Correct.

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

Conclusion

As I stated at the outset, I would not have argued this as a First Amendment, or even a freedom of religion case. As Justice Thomas found out during his questioning of Mr. Schoenfeld:

JUSTICE THOMAS: Was that because they found the materials objectionable or — for religious reasons or what?

1. SCHOENFELD: So there are two different paragraphs of her declaration that speak to this fact.

In that paragraph, it doesn’t specify. Elsewhere in the declaration it makes clear that many of the opt-out requests were not religious in nature and parents objected, for example, to the age-appropriateness of materials, have nothing to do with religious prohibitions.

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

There are apparently many parents, and even school principals, who object to this curriculum for non-religious reasons. Should their concerns be ignored?

To me, this is a parents’ rights issue. The Montgomery County Board of Education is depriving these parents of the liberty to raise their children as they see fit, violating the Due Process clauses of both the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. Arguing this as a Due Process case, rather than a Freedom of Religion case, would have eliminated all of the questions of sincerity as well as the concerns about entailing the courts in religious issues.

Yet there’s another issue to consider. It should be obvious that it is illegal for government, in the form of public schools, to force instruction upon students that violates the religious beliefs of their parents. But when a school sees a large number of opt-outs, it should be a sign that there is a problem with that curriculum. Perhaps that signal should be used by the schools to pull the curriculum? As Mr. Baxter said in his rebuttal.

And it somewhat flips the Bill of Rights on its head if we’re worried more about extreme examples that don’t happen to protect the government from the parents as opposed to parent — protecting the parents’ fundamental rights to direct the religious upbringing of their children.

Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al., – Oral Arguments

I try not to predict what the court will do. I can only hope they will protect the parent’s fundamental right to direct the upbringing of their children.

By pumping cash into campuses across the country, American adversaries are able to “stifle academic freedom,” spread propaganda, and gain access to valuable intellectual property. China pursues this strategy aggressively. —Rep. Michael Baumgartner (R-WA)

The current system has allowed foreign adversaries to infiltrate our colleges and universities. Congress is taking action because it is imperative that we hold these universities — which have turned a blind eye for too long — accountable and bring to light malignant foreign entities lurking in our schools. —Rep. Tim Walberg (R-MI) 

Foreign government contributions to universities almost always come with strings attached or, at the very least, ulterior motives. —Ben Freeman, the director of the Democratizing Foreign Policy program at the Quincy Institute.

Hostile powers are buying influence on American campuses at an industrial scale.  Foreign countries such as Qatar, whose state religion is Islam, and Communist China have poured $29 billion into campuses over the past few years.

That $29 billion figure is more than double the total for the preceding four years, and accounts for half of the estimated $57.97 billion in foreign funding since 1986, when the federal government began tracking the data.

In the last four years, foreign funding of American universities has ballooned. Qatar is the largest funder with China coming in second.

Harvard has historically received the most funding from foreign donors ($3.2 billion), followed by Cornell and Carnegie Mellon (each received $2.8 billion).  “Follow the Money” reports, “Despite receiving large amounts of funding from Qatar over the years, Columbia University has not reported any of this funding to the Department of Education (DOE). As well, there have been no references to connections between Columbia University and Qatar or Qatari entities in its financial statements.”

Trump’s recent Executive Order threatened to scrap federal grants to universities if schools failed to accurately disclose overseas sources of funding. A 2024 study published by the National Association of Scholars found that universities failed to disclose at least $1 billion in foreign funding since Biden took office, the majority of which came from authoritarian countries such as Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey.

(The Defending Education Transparency and Ending Rogue Regimes Engaging in Nefarious Transactions Act passed in the house, and is now in the Senate.)

While Qatar holds the designation of a major non-NATO ally of the United States, the country is also known for harboring the leaders of Hamas and exporting political Islamism, including support of the Muslim Brotherhood, across the Middle East.

The Free Press, reports, “Part of the answer lies in an NCRI study (Network Contagion Research Institute) published last year in Frontiers of Social Psychology that found a strong correlation between universities that receive foreign funding from authoritarian countries and a rise in antisemitic incidents. The study concludes ‘that providing massive financial support to campuses with ascendant illiberalism serves the interests of foreign actors hostile to the U.S. in particular or liberal democracy in general.’”

Rather than sending their children here to be educated, Qatar has been importing America’s universities.  “The Qatari capital is home to “Education City,” which hosts an outpost of Northwestern’s journalism school and Georgetown’s foreign policy school, each of which has received hundreds of millions from the wealthy Gulf state. Cornell, which built a medical school campus in Doha, has received $2.1 billion from Qatar.”

The small oil and natural gas rich Islamic country of Qatar has weaseled its way into America’s culture.  Trump appointees, Pam Bondi, Susie Wiles, Kash Patel, Lee Zeldin and Steve Witkoff are all connected to Qatar either by lobbying, consulting or monetary bailouts.  They make this administration look as though they’re advertising that foreign influence is welcome in the USA.

In Joshua Hoffman’s article, How Muslims Will Take Over America, he writes, “Of all people, Winston Churchill distinctly understood this urgent problem all the way back in 1899, when he said, ‘Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in this world.’”

Follow the Money

In July 2019, Dr. Charles Asher Small, Director of the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP), participated in the Department of Justice (DOJ) Summit on Combatting Antisemitism in Washington, D.C.  Dr. Small presented the findings of an ISGAP research project started in 2012, entitled “Follow the Money.” They included foreign funding of American universities, specifically highlighting the substantial, yet unreported, funding from Qatar.  His research revealed potential violations of reporting requirements and raised concerns about the impact of such funding on academic independence and antisemitism on campuses.

Follow the Money states, “ISGAP uncovered and established that the foreign donations from Qatar, have had a substantial impact on fomenting growing levels of antisemitic discourse and campus politics at US universities, as well as growing support for anti-democratic values within these institutions of higher education.

“Dr. Small’s testimony and research focused on the systematic evasion of transparency requirements by universities and the potential for foreign donations to compromise academic integrity. He also highlighted the need for greater transparency and accountability in reporting foreign funding.”

His findings led to a federal government investigation in 2019.

ISGAP’s research uncovered billions of dollars in unreported funds from Qatar and other Middle Eastern countries to US universities. This led to investigations by the Department of Education into universities like Georgetown, Texas A&M, Cornell, Yale, Harvard, and Rutgers, says ISGAP. Dr. Small’s work also included concerns about the impact of foreign funding on promoting anti-democratic values and antisemitism on campuses.

Billions of U.S. dollars are going to universities via Qatari State-owned NGO’s and commercial entities!

ISGAP’s “Follow the Money” project previous reports have laid out the following:

• Qatar is the largest foreign donor to U.S. universities
• The Muslim Brotherhood’s Islamist ideology is intertwined with the State and furthermore the links that Qatar has with the Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestinian Chapter – Hamas
• The fact that money coming from foreign states such as Qatar is having a direct effect on increasing antisemitism and anti-democratic views/activity

This report lays out the way that Qatar is operating a war-chest with between $500 Billion – $1 Trillion USD of assets and growing, to affect soft power in the west – including the U.S.’ prestigious universities. 

According to a 2022 study, Qatar contributed $4.7 billion to dozens of academic institutions across the United States between 2001 and 2021. Some of the amounts are classified as “gifts” while others are labeled as “restricted agreements.”

Ariel Admoni, a PhD student at Bar Ilan University in Israel, who specializes in foreign and domestic relations of Qatar and the Arabian Gulf, states that Qatar’s links to American academia date back to the 1970s and 1980s. “The Qatari’s aim to be tone-setters, active participants in the discourse, exerting influence wherever they can impact and where decision-makers gather,” Admoni added. “This involves investing in global sports, culture, politics, and academia to establish ‘soft power’ influence. It’s a form of soft diplomacy, ensuring that they cannot be ignored.”

Qatar’s Choices Program

The lavish K-12 Arabic language and culture program sponsored by the Qatar Foundation to influence curriculum in American public schools is not the first time a Middle Eastern country has attempted to do so.  Saudi Arabia had the same idea.  Through higher education, the Saudis were able to support programs to train teachers on specific content they wished to sponsor through Title VI of the Higher Education Act.

This act gives a grant to certain universities for regional studies, including Latin Studies, Post-Soviet Studies, Middle Eastern Studies, etc. In order to get the grant, the professors in these departments are required to have teacher-training workshops for teachers of kindergarten through 12^th grade, or for librarians.

Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) sounded off on the “Stop Gaza Genocide Toolkit” being promoted in the NYC Public Schools newsletter.  The US Campaign for Palestinian Rights is behind this Toolkit.  They are funded by grants from foundations like the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.  The eight-minute video is shocking.

The Jewish Onliner reveals that Qatar’s “Choices Program” has now permeated America’s higher education:

“A new report from the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) reveals that more than one million American students across all 50 states (in over 8,000 schools) are learning from a curriculum, developed at Brown University that is allegedly fueled by undisclosed Qatari funding and designed to delegitimize Israel. The Choices Program, widely used in secondary schools, has been found to systematically distort historical facts, promote anti-Israel narratives, and operate under a legally ambiguous structure that may be skirting federal disclosure laws. In response, ISGAP is calling for an immediate federal investigation, the suspension of the program, and congressional hearings to address foreign influence in U.S. classrooms.

“Qatar Foundation International (QFI), a U.S.-based LLC tied to Qatar’s powerful Qatar Foundation, has been directly involved in shaping the curriculum and teacher training workshops. According to the report, Brown University has not disclosed this funding as required under Section 117 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, potentially placing the university in violation of federal law.”

Initially the Choices Program started out with accurate information on Israel, her capitol as Jerusalem and Israel’s historical and religious significance.  But over a decade, this has radically changed, casting the region as essentially Islamic and Jews as outsiders, and calling Israel a settler-state, when the land has been theirs since around 1400 BCE.

IMPACT, a research, policy, and advocacy organization that monitors and analyzes education, published an extensive report on the educational content of school textbooks in the country of Qatar.  The report told of pervasive amounts of antisemitism, anti-Western propaganda, Islamic rhetoric and clear sympathy to Islamic causes.  There is a heavy Muslim Brotherhood influence and a celebration of jihadism. Like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthi’s, Qatar is adamant about passing ideological content to their children.

The curriculum guide that Qataris most frequently use is Audrey Shabbas’ “The Arab World Studies Notebook”. It is funded by AWAIR (Arab World Islamic Resources and School Services). AWAIR receives its funding from ARAMCO, Saudi’s largest oil producer, and the Middle East Policy Council, both of which receive their funding directly from the Saudi government.  While the Department of Education allows the Bible, both the Hebrew and Christian portions, to be taught only as literature, the Notebook is teaching Quran as empirical knowledge.

They are now passing it on to America’s children and most Americans have no idea what is taught in K-12 or higher education.

ISGAP reports that in 2021, the Choices Program migrated their materials behind a password protected site, preventing educators, school boards, and parents from monitoring changes.  There are no alerts to schools when there are any changes.

Investigations by ISGAP expose changes including the removal of key historical documents and the omission of others, the misrepresentation of Israel’s capital in maps, and the exclusion of balanced perspectives on Israeli history and diplomacy. The report also reveals that Qatar Foundation International (QFI) has played an undisclosed role in shaping the Choices Program’s curriculum and teacher training, influencing how American students are taught about the Middle East and Israel.

The Gulf kingdom has lavished billions on US higher education as it seeks soft power; the money may also be fueling anti-Israel and anti-Jewish trends at schools.

Israel isn’t the only topic.  The Choices Program softened its descriptions of Iran and Hezbollah, no longer referring to either as terrorist states or organizations.  ISGAP called it a sanitization of extremism within the curriculum.

In a 2022, ISGAP study, The Corruption of the American Mind, foreign funding in higher education by widely undisclosed Islamic regimes is not only changing the tenor of democratic norms in our Republic, but it is purposely increasing the antisemitic protests on campuses and making life unbearable on those campuses for Jewish young people.

Kenneth Marcus, who served as assistant secretary for civil rights at the US Department of Education from 2018 to 2020, noted that over the last 20 years, anti-Israel attitudes in academia had expanded, having once been largely isolated to Middle Eastern studies programs but now being present in a wide range of fields of study. “Even mental health programs, psychology programs, and medical schools are now badly infected with anti-Zionism,” he said.

According to Marcus, the draw of Qatari money also means school administrators may be less willing to call out antisemitism on campus. “It’s not at all surprising when US administrators are reluctant to impose the same discipline on foreign students when they’re getting foreign money because there is a range of pressures on them to avoid doing the right thing,” he said.

Congress and the President must enforce transparency requirements, lower reporting thresholds and prohibit gifts from entities in countries of concern.  The Trump administration is preparing to accept a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar, a gift he may use as Air Force One until his retirement.  It will then be transferred to the Trump presidential library foundation.

Attorney General Pam Bondi and Trump’s top White House lawyer David Warrington concluded it would be “legally permissible” for the donation of the aircraft to be conditioned on transferring its ownership to Trump’s presidential library before the end of his term, according to sources familiar with their determination.

Trump’s Trip to Qatar

This is the first time an American president has visited Doha in 20 years.  We know Qatar plays all sides.  They host the largest US air base in the region while maintaining open relationships with enemies of Israel and the West, the Taliban, Hamas, Houthis and Iran.  They are not mediators unless they have direct stakes in the outcomes.

Their strategies are subtle but pervasive and they have spent years cultivating influence across American institutions.  Billions upon billions have flowed from Doha to the US, not only our schools and universities, but lobbying firms, think tanks and even real estate, very much like China.  As Amine Ayoub writes in Middle East Forum, “Qatar is a global operator with a sophisticated PR engine and an appetite for influence.”

Their money shapes far too much and steers public discourse to protect their interests.  It is soft power and soft persuasion, but it will have dire consequences for America and her people.

Any US-Qatar relationship must include a commitment to ending their backroom dealings with terrorist organizations.

A recently released 90-minute documentary is a MUST viewing by everyone to enhance their Energy Literacy about the shell game wealthy countries are using to exploit developing countries.

Electric vehicles are being mandated in California, but Governor Newsom is oblivious to the fact that it’s just another product that cannot exist without oil, as all the thousands of parts and components of EV’s, from tires, insulation, and computers, are made from the oil derivatives manufactured out of crude oil.

Newsom’s efforts to “transition away from fossil fuels” has yet to comprehend that humanity is not addicted to fossil fuels, but they are addicted to the PRODUCTS and TRANSPORTATION FUELS made from those fossil fuels to meet the materialistic DEMANDS of humanity and the economy. Despite the DEMAND for the products and transportation fuels that so-called renewables CANNOT make, only wealthy economies, like that in California, have “green” movements and are pursuing them with mandates and costly subsidies.

The recently released documentary “Electric Vehicles: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly” isn’t just another documentary that lazily cheerleads the industry, though there is a fair amount of marveling at the technology and underscoring its benefits and potential. It’s an enlightening, educational, and entertaining 90-minute documentary that is a MUST viewing by everyone to enhance their Energy Literacy and help them decide for themselves if EV’s are good, bad, or ugly.

• The documentary is available for purchase at $12.99
• The documentary is available for a 72-hour lease for $9.99

It’s appalling that the policymakers, JUST in wealthy countries, are setting “green” policies that continue to support humanity atrocities and environmental degradation in poorer developing countries that are mining for the exotic minerals and metals to go “green”.

The documentary demonstrates the environmental degradation, and humanity atrocities to people with yellow, brown, and black skin, in those poorer developing countries, to be unethical and immoral JUST for materials to make EV batteries. The documentary is narrated by Larry Elder, a talk radio host, author, politician, lawyer, and former candidate for Governor of California.

Planet Earth’s resources are limited! Our 4-billion-year-old planet has limited natural resources like oil, gas, coal, lithium, cobalt, manganese, etc. that are being extracted at alarming rates. Even with technological advances in the next few decades by those in wealthier countries, we may find “more”, but at current rates of extraction of those resources, the planet may be sucked dry in 50, 100, 500, or 1,000 years, so the question for our conversation is: Should there be a greater focus on the limitations of earth’s natural resources now being extracted for the enjoyment by wealthier countries on Earth as our 4-billion-year-old planet will continue to be here, with or without humans,?

Planet Earth’s resources are limited! Our planet has limited natural resources, including fossil fuels, but especially critical minerals (employed in many new energy systems), such as lithium, cobalt, manganese, various Rare Earth Elements (REE) and many basic industrial metals currently being extracted at unsustainable rates, and mainly from poorer developing countries, under dire working conditions, without labor or health protections, and causing serious environmental impact, due to the unsophisticated extraction processes employed.

With technological advances by wealthier countries, in the next few decades we may find “more”, but at current rates of extraction, the planet may not be able to provide those resources for very long, and in many cases, not even for a century. Wealthy countries refuse to put a greater focus on the limitations of earth’s natural resources currently being extracted for the enjoyment of wealthier countries, since they do not understand that our 4-billion-year-old planet will continue to be here, with or without humans.

The documentary educates the viewers about the critical minerals and metals needed to support the much touted “energy transition” to EVs, wind turbines, solar panels and batteries, come from unreliable, unstable or poorer developing countries such as China, some African nations, and others. Those countries have minimal labor laws and poor environmental controls, so that their production of the critical minerals and metals needed for going “green” results in serious environmental degradation, dire social consequences, and human rights abuses to their population, predominantly made up of people with yellow, brown, and black skin. All this, just to support “clean” electricity in wealthier countries.

• Question: Do you believe it is ethical and moral for wealthy countries to continue subsidies to go “green”, when they encourage China and African countries to CONTINUE exploiting many who work under miserable conditions, and when such subsidies entrench financial incentives for environmental degradation, just to support producing EV batteries, wind turbines and solar panels, mostly for wealthier countries”?

The extraction rates and R/P (reserves to production) ratio for many of the critical minerals and metals needed for going “green” are alarming, and most of these natural resources are NOT being replenished. This suggests a worrisome possibility of an unsustainable approach to the current policies of subsidies for “green” energies. Furthermore, even countries with the largest reserve base face important challenges to increasing production growth to meet projected future demand.

• LITHIUM: In 2024, the world mined about 240,000 tons of lithium, almost three times the amount mined in 2020. The International Energy Agency (IEA) projects that demand for lithium will increase to 450,000 tons per year by 2030. Despite a significant world resource base, production of those resources remains a major challenge.
• COBALT: In 2024, the world produced an estimated 280,000 metric tons of cobalt, the highest amount ever recorded. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) was the world’s leading producer, accounting for 74% of the global total, while the country is known for the major problems with child labor and poor working conditions of its mineral sector.

Today, a typical EV battery for a Tesla sedan requires substantial raw material extraction for the battery’s minerals and metals of lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese, copper, aluminum, graphite, plus the steel, plastic, and other metals for battery casings.

The documentary raises concern about those “blood minerals”, mostly from developing countries, come from mining at locations in the world that are never inspected or seen by policymakers and EV buyers.

The mining and refining involve large quantities of raw materials. The estimated total mass of raw materials mined and processed for an EV battery, including overburden and waste rock—might range from 50,000 to 100,000 pounds, depending on battery size, chemistry, and mining efficiency.

The current rates of extraction of natural resources, such as coal, gas, lithium, cobalt, etc., to support the generation of electricity, are clearly unsustainable. Humanity is unable to replace those natural resources on Planet Earth, and obviously, the production sources will eventually run out.

At current rates of extraction of natural resources, the technically and economically available world resource base may be sucked dry in a few centuries, but our 4-billion-year-old Planet Earth will continue to exist in the solar system, with or without humans.

The documentary should be viewed by so-called zero-emission policymakers in the few wealthy countries that have disrupted the delivery of electricity with strict regulations, preferential subsidies, and cancellation of proven baseload sources like coal, nuclear and even natural gas. They should have solidified other sources, to ensure that the availability of affordable electricity that is continuous and uninterruptible would not be disrupted for consumers.

Readers are encouraged to view the documentary “Electric Vehicles: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly“ to learn more about the shell game wealthy countries are using to exploit developing countries to support so-called clean and green electric vehicles, and decide for themselves if the world economies and the environment can accommodate EV’s to satisfy the transportation needs for all, not just the few elites on this planet.

Please share this information with teachers, students, and friends to encourage Energy Literacy conversations at the family dinner table.

In last week’s column, this journalist “spelled it out” like few other writers. “Why Are We Devolving America’s Western Culture? Can We Save Ourselves?” offered a ‘point blank’ assessment as to how America will continue to decline its culture, its own people, its language, and its own way of life.

President Teddy Roosevelt said it over 100 years ago, “In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith (legally), becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American…There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag… We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language… and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”

Whether you watch the riots at colleges, or cities in southern Florida, or southern California, you’re watching Hamas flags, Palestinian flags, Mexican flags, and Muslim flags dominate on the news, but also in those ethnic and religious enclaves. And notice, America now features “no go zones” where those ethnic enclaves dominate. You won’t see any loyalty to America or our flag, i.e. Minneapolis, Detroit, NYC, California. That Somalian U.S. House Member Ilhan Omar despises America…because she can get away with it.

As you watch the evening news, you can see that U.S. Senators Van Hollen, Charles Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and dozens of others don’t like America or its people. They furiously work against Americans. Senator Van Hollen (D-MD) didn’t do a thing for four years to stop 13 million illegal aliens from crossing our borders in violation of our laws. But when one MS-13 terrorist named Garcia gets deported, Van Hollen rushed to bring him back to America. Notice that when one of his constituents, mother of five Rachel Morin, was killed by an illegal alien gangbanger, Van Hollen did NOTHING!

Forever Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) did NOTHING to stop 13 million border jumpers for four solid years! Nancy Pelosi has been an insider-trader on defense contracts that have netted her husband $120 million in the past 30 years of her “forever” tenure in the House of Representatives. She’s a thief, plain and simple!

We’re talking about our U.S. Congress being a “Den of crooks, liars and frauds.” Why do you think we’re $37 trillion in debt? None of them ever get called out, prosecuted or thrown into prison. Their “slush fund” at U.S. AID has been a 50-year nightmare for taxpayers.

In that column last week, you learned that China has purchased 350,000 U.S. farmland acres. They own major food processing plants. They own hotels and warehouses. They virtually supply 90 percent of our goods in Lowe’s and Home Depot. They are buying up fast-food joints. And, nobody in Congress stops them.

So here’s a reader named “Laura” who responded to the truths that were presented in that initial column, with permission:

Frosty,

As to your latest commentary! I’m a speak-my-mind kinda’ woman; always was, always will be!

Anyway, the ‘woke’ crowd skewered me on Reddit when I took issue with the Palestinian uprisings not just on campuses but all around the world and my statement was that you cannot habituate people that are unhabituate-able; as in, Muslims move to Western countries with NO plans on assimilating.

The real plan is to overpower in numbers, then violence should we not capitulate. The general consensus of the Muslim males in particular, do not care for the people of the West, we are merely a means to an end – total domination of America and all she has; however, they have counted out the Chinese who have spent a considerable amount of money on acquiring this country; not just farmland, but they are buying not just condos in NY, but whole buildings; they own either all or almost all ports in SF and maybe ALL ports in CA, and then we can mention all the politicians they own!

China may wait to see how far the Muslims push to overtake various, strategic counties/cities first then make a move on the whole state if they use violence to reduce our numbers; just look at what Belgium, Germany, France and Britain are going through with them; and not just the Muslims from the usual places but the Somalians or Syrians and Pakistani men – all of whom are in HOST countries that are paying for every need at the expense of their OWN people!!!

Every time I hear about another gang rape of either a teen/young adult or child committed by an illegal, all I can think of is how they shouldn’t have been here in the first place, and now we will pay for their housing in a prison somewhere where they get appeals and an attorney all of which we pay for, not to mention the government assistance their family will receive; I have heard stories, that is why I’m so crazy for Viktor Orban and the way he controls the borders of his country and how he protects his people! It was too funny the way he shut Angela Merkel down when she thought she could strong arm him into allowing all those Muslims to storm his gates!

I believe it was Ireland that is having a Muslim problem and it was said that if not changed soon, Muslims will overtake them in the number of births and not leaving, thereby establishing roots while the native Irish, German, French and British birth rates plunge. They do NOT plan on assimilating – this is an occupation and by the time we organize, it will be too late. Already they are entering into our lower government positions and will move up and through until they reach a position of power that could cost us and our families’ lives.

Even in their Muslim homelands they have no ‘true’ peace so our countries should offer sanctuary without thought because they were the “called out ones” the people God chose to inform the world of the way. The Muslims will never assimilate into Western culture; on the contrary, parents very often do not allow their daughters to date an American and nearly all males of this culture would love nothing better than to have Sharia Saw be legal here like it is in their country. And, they have actually killed family members because of some broken rule of co-mingling with anyone outside of their own people. (According to the United Nations, Muslims “Honor Kill” 20,000 women annually.)

I just go by what I see, research and read about the people/countries that are all around me so I know what I’m dealing with. It’s called being proactive and I think we are in for a bumpy ride! Thank you for your excellent piece! Laura

If an average American citizen can see what’s happening, why can’t 535 members of Congress “see” it, and stop it? Again, we need a total “shut down” of all immigration into America. We must demand only “English” be our national language. If guys like Kahlil or Garcia don’t like our country or wave the Hamas flag…deport them.

Early in life we were emotionally shocked and traumatized. And with that first fall away from our original state of being, fault took root and grew into the multi-layered ugliness that we see ourselves composed of, when we first (if ever) begin seeking for what went wrong.

The seeker should bear this basic principle in mind: a human being can be shocked, excited, angered, stimulated, distracted, entertained, emotionalized and so on.

The very moment that happens true values are displaced, and the shock, the excitement, the anger, etc. is substituted for those true values.

In most of us, these displacements have become the “long-forgotten” experiences of childhood (forgotten because associated with those traumatic events is “shame”).

Instead of facing up to the weakness associated with the corrupting event, the ego tries to assert, or maintain, a posture of “original innocence.” All those friends and relatives who aid you in maintaining this charade of “innocence” succeed only in violating you more.

Before true maturity, all friends are really fiends. All excitement, entertainment, drugs, pills, counseling, encounter and group therapy, sensitivity training etc. work toward the same result: they help you feel secure and “right” while actually helping you to grow more wrong.

Once you fall to accept any form of comfort, you associate growth with the feeling of comfort. Without re-experiencing that comfort, you sense that original anxiety, or loss, that has actually grown more severe through your use of those assorted false comforts.

And—lurking behind those comforts—are the frozen smiles of the professional comforters, ready to assure you at every turn that you are perfectly all right the way you are. All you really need is just a little more of their services and help. Payable monthly.

Doctors of Doom

“I smoke two full packs of cigarettes a day,” a man complained. “Don’t be so concerned,” assured the doctor. “I smoke three packs on a bad day!”

A patient-parolee in a therapy group was instructed not to repress anger but to let it out, express it! Now she is back in jail.

A terrible danger attends this kind of “advice.” In spite of their “advanced” medical training, these counselors are unable to use their knowledge for good, achieving nothing more than the ability to use the information about their patients’ problems to justify their own anxiety over their similar weaknesses.

“Subcon­sciously the leaders of those who desire to remain blind are themselves unwilling to accept the truth”

Comforted, no longer in conflict with his own Conscience, the patient soon falls to temptation again. Then, haunted by increased guilt, he is forced to return either to the confessional, the jail or the operating table.

With the logic of a mad hatter, self-indulgent counselors point out with “scientific” solemnity that the inability to quit smoking is a reliable sign that cigarettes are necessary and proper for the body—as indeed they are in the counselor’s own case!

Thus we are advised to continue smoking to get the essential “ingredients” provided by the tobacco. Unable or unwilling to overcome his own degrading enslavement to nicotine, the counselor scores a double “victory” by earning money from his patients, while making his own vice more bearable.

But even more insidiously, such advice unconsciously blocks us from ever finding the real cure. There are all kinds of gurus of vice, ranging from fat little champions of gourmet to the emaciated wizards of pot and LSD—most doctors are no different. They are all people with wrong motives.

No doctor is likely to grow poor with this kind of treatment, for the patient will always be returning for reassurance as well as for treatment for the other problems that will grow out of the original one.

The same is true of the psychological advice given to the parolee, namely that “anger is natural. You must not suppress it, that’s what makes you sick. You must instead continue to get upset and let it out.” The psychologist who makes this kind of statement also misleads his victims.

His motive is not to help the patient but to help himself—to excuse and be comfortable with his own private tantrums. Have you ever filed a complaint against an impatient corporate employee only to find the management willing to defend his rudeness for their own personal reasons?

Subcon­sciously the leaders of those who desire to remain blind are themselves unwilling to accept the truth, for that would put them out of business and undermine their authority and power, which stands upon a lie.

For this reason they mostly treat (excuse) the guilt rather than attack the selfish existence that gives rise to it.

The healers in their turn are likewise addicted to doing their thing, that is, comforting wrong people for the ego appreciation and money (symbolic tribute, homage and love for a king) they obtain for their services.

I’ve always had a great interest in music. I enjoy almost all types of music, and music is a wonderful gift from God.  The Bible is replete with references to music.  In Genesis 4, we read about the first musician, “Jubal,” who was the fourth generation from Adam, in the lineage of Cain.  Genesis 4:21 tells us that Jubal was “the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe.”  And in Exodus, when God closed the Red Sea after the Israelites passed through it, Moses’ sister, Miriam led the Israelite women “with tambourines and dancing” as she sang.

Also in the Old Testament, we have the Psalms, the Song of Solomon, and Ecclesiastes, all  song-related books.  In the New Testament, we read of Jesus and His disciples singing in Matthew 26, the apostles singing in Acts 16, the angels of heaven singing when Jesus was born, recorded in Luke 2, and more song lyrics in Revelation 5, 7 and 15.

Perhaps the most famous musician in Scripture is David.  And we read in 1 Samuel 16, “when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took a harp, and played with his hand: so, Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.”  Yes, music can, indeed soothe the soul, as we praise our Heavenly Father and His Son.

Maybe I’m just too old, but one type of music I really do not like is most of the modern Christian songs, or “Contemporary Christian” music.  Today, it’s rare to find a radio station that plays the old hymns.  Most carry only “Contemporary Christian” programming.

Most of our churches today have also followed suit, offering “praise choruses” rather than the old hymns that I remember from my youth, growing up in church.  And if those old, sacred hymns are played in church today, the “praise and worship teams” seem to find it necessary to “modernize” them, jazz them up, and give them a rock beat.

I wish they’d just leave well enough alone.  It’s such a joy to hear them sung just the way they were originally written.  I think a lot of people would agree with me on that.  I’ve been to churches where they try to please everyone in the crowd — doing some rock & roll style “praise and worship” songs and one or two hymns thrown in to appease the old folks.  Here’s what I’ve noticed every single time:  when the modern songs are performed, everyone is standing — because they’re supposed to — but almost no one is singing.  But when the hymns are played, as originally composed, the entire building seems to come alive with everyone singing in unison.  Even the young people.  And they don’t need the lyrics projected up on a screen either, because they know them.  I wish the church bands would see that and stop with all the showmanship.

One of my favorite old hymns was written in 1855 by Joseph Scriven.  I’m sure you know it.  It’s called “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.”  I’ll take that any day over the drums and guitars of a modern “praise and worship” song.  Because the old hymns of our Christian faith weren’t just emulating secular pop culture songs; they weren’t meant to just touch our emotions as we sing soft-rock “love songs” to Jesus.  They were written with deep honor and reverence for God, and they’re richly filled with good theology.  Each one is a Bible lesson in itself.

There still are some churches where only those hymns are sung, but they’re few and far between now.  As one who has a real interest in music, I especially like to know the stories behind the songs…what inspired the writing of the song?  What was happening in the songwriter’s life that caused him to compose the lyrics?  And where did the melody come from?  In the case of those old hymns, they were inspired by God Himself, and they still have deep meaning, soothing the soul with rich spiritual truths.  I kind of wish that each time one of those old songs is sung, the song leader would tell the story behind it.  That’s something that is rarely, if ever, done.  So, I’d like to do that here.

Joseph Scriven had a life of heartbreak.  He lived in Dublin, Ireland and at the age of 25, tragedy struck, as his fiance drowned in a lake — just one day before they were to be married.   I can’t imagine the heartbreak…well, actually, I do know that heartbreak, and I’ll share that with you later.  As for Joseph, while still trying to heal from this deep, emotional wound, he decided to immigrate to Canada….he would never see his mother again.

Ten years later, in 1855, he received word that his mother was facing a crisis, so Joseph wrote the poem that became “What A Friend We Have In Jesus,” — for her.  She was so taken by the beautiful words that she gave it to a friend who had it published anonymously.  It quickly became a hymn, though no one knew who had written it, until just before Joseph died.

In the New World, Joseph once again fell in love and was engaged to be married to Eliza Catherine Roche, but tragedy struck again, when Eliza contracted tuberculosis and died in 1860, before the wedding could take place.

Joseph is described as “a man of short stature, with iron-gray hair, close-cropped beard, and light blue eyes that sparkled when he talked.”  He spent his life in obscurity in Port Hope, Canada, doing ministry work for the Plymouth Brethren and Baptists.  He’s remembered for cutting wood for widows and giving away his clothes and money to those in need.

Joseph never did marry, and in October of 1896, he became critically ill.  A neighbor tended to him as he lay in bed and it was then that the neighbor asked about the rumor he’d heard that Joseph was the one who had written “What A Friend We Have In Jesus.”  His reply was, “The Lord and I did it between us.”

Shortly thereafter, the delirium of his illness caused him to get out of bed one night and wander outside.  There, he staggered and fell into a small creek and drowned at the age of 66.  History only tells us that “his grave was arranged so that his feet were opposite those of his lost love, Eliza Catherine Roche, so that at the resurrection, they might arise facing one another.”

By all accounts, he was a humble man who endured more heartache and pain than most of us could ever relate to, but rather than become bitter, he poured his life into serving God and serving others.  The legacy he leaves behind is this beautiful song that we all know and love today.  Next time you hear it, remember the story of its writer, a soft-spoken, humble man called Joseph Scriven.

Let the words he wrote back in 1855 resonate with your heart today.  “What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear!  What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer.  Oh, what peace we often forfeit; oh, what needless pain we bear.  All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer.

“Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere?  We should never be discouraged.  Take it to the Lord in prayer.  Can we find a Friend so faithful, Who will all our sorrows share?  Jesus knows our every weakness.  Take it to the Lord in prayer.

“Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care?  Precious Savior, still our refuge!  Take it to the Lord in prayer.  Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?  Take it to the Lord in prayer.  In His arms He’ll take and shield thee.  Thou wilt find a solace there.”

I wonder how many of us today could maintain such faith and confidence in God, after suffering the loss of a fiance, traveling to a new country, knowing no one, and never having the means to travel back to visit our dear mother.  All Joseph Scriven could do was comfort her in her time of need with a simple poem he wrote and mailed to her.  But those words have endured so many generations and continue to inspire so many hearts and souls yet today.

You may not know this, but I, too, lost a finance.  She was killed in a car wreck — exactly one week before Christmas in 1988.  It would be an understatement to say that my soul was in shock and my heart was deeply wounded.  I remember going to help her family empty out her apartment, and picking up the Christmas presents she had already wrapped and prepared for me.  “Why her, Lord?”  The loss was unbearable.  I had already written a song for her, several months before that tragic car accident.  I’d written several other songs before that too, but never wrote another one.  Listening to it after her death, the words I penned for her seem to foretell what eventually happened, but they were still a celebration of her life.  In my time of grief, it was music that helped to soothe my soul, and although it wasn’t specifically a Christian song, it was what I wrote for my lost love with words I didn’t fully understand until after she was gone.  Certainly, God had a major role in that.

That dark and sad time in my life prepared me for many more losses and many more challenges and hard times that lay ahead in my future….and through that tragedy, God gave me the training to be able to comfort and minister to others who’ve had to endure similar things.

Two years later, God blessed me with the love of my life — my wife and I have been married since 1990, and I love her more today than the day we said, “I Do!”  God is good.

I doubt I’ll ever write any kind of song that becomes such a powerful hymn of faith and trust in our Lord, but like Joseph, I’ve devoted my life to serving God and serving others, and this is what we should all be doing, whatever our circumstances may be.  We should be using whatever gifts and talents the Lord has blessed us with to bless and serve others.  We should live quiet, humble lives, and when our souls outgrow these earthly bodies, I pray each of us is remembered for our steadfast faith in the One Who saved us from our sins and our humble service to others in His name.

“What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear!  What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer.  Oh, what peace we often forfeit; oh what needless pain we bear.  All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer.”

Big pharma spends $15 billion per year on TV advertising, and they do it because it works. Americans, as if they had nothing better to do, watch more television than any other people in the world, and the lion’s share of the commercials on those TVs are from pharmaceutical companies. Despite the litany of doleful/dreadful “side-effects” cited and sometimes belabored in those ads, we go ahead heedlessly and purchase them since we can’t get over our addictions to the potions, nor do we have any notions to do so, being mesmerized by the medical men and their mouthpieces.

Big pharma is thus swimming in a cascade of cash that can be used to buy politicians, stuff upper management’s pockets, or can be plowed back into research and development to create a panaloply of ever more addictive, potent pharmaceuticals to empty our pockets of whatever pocket change we have left after our budgets have been busted paying for today’s outrageous food and housing costs.

Polling by KFF indicates that 13% of US adults are taking one pharmaceutical drug, another 11% are taking 2 of them, another 10% are taking 3 pharmaceuticals, and a whopping 27% of US adults are taking 4 or more such drugs. Putting those figures together, a solid majority of at least 61% of adults admit they are regularly taking at least one pharmaceutical drug. Elderly Americans are the biggest victims and suckers. One study found that an estimated 89% of older adults took at least one prescription medication in the last 12 months.

Even if you aren’t sick and have no real illnesses, the systematic TV advertising is designed to nudge you to find a reason for you to become a customer of big pharma. As an example, the percentage of Americans diagnosed with depression has more than tripled since 2005, increasing from 5.4% in 2005 to 18% in 2023, an all-time high. Act a bit sad, and they will be glad to get you going on the pills — and this is especially true for women, who use antidepressants at twice the rate of men, at nearly 18% of women aged 18 and older. A listing of the side effects of antidepressants can leave you depressed and includes difficulty urinating, drowsiness, dry mouth, constipation, easy bleeding and bruising, nausea, weight gain, insomnia, and sexual dysfunction.

The US imports 75% of its essential medicines from China and India, including antibiotics and treatments for diabetes and heart conditions, With the Trump tariffs kicking in, drug prices could be kicked up quite a few notches with millions of Americans experiencing a rude awakening. Of course, its not just adults that are being drugged into oblivion. Boy, oh, boy, American boys are being given massive doses of drugs for ADHD, with over 21% of 14-year-old boys now suffering from this supposed condition.

As a result, prescriptions for Ritalin and Adderall have skyrocketed by 60% from 2012 to 2022, with boys aged 10 to 14 being the big demographic for these prescriptions. Most of the boys taking these drugs do not need them, as they are being treated for normal boyish behavior.

Sadly, an increasing percentage of US adults now believe that children are such a “burden” that they don’t want to be parents at all. The percentage of non-parents who don’t want any children increased from 14% in 2002 to 29% in 2023. During the same period, the percentage of non-parents who plan to have children in the future fell from 79% to 59%. With that sort of negativism, we can’t expect to have a positive outlook on the future. Sadly, millions of Americans have lost their optimism and faith in the future because their drugging habits have left them too down, depressed, and devoid of spirit to care.

Special Report

He won’t be caught singing Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the U.S.A.” This “American” pope is not proud to be an American. This pope has been attacking President Trump and Vice President Vance for weeks on the social media platform X and seems guilt-ridden over America’s success.

He could have used his remarks to launch a much-needed campaign to restore the fundamental values of Judeo-Christian civilization, or at least to say a few nice words about America. He failed at that, in an ominous indication of where the church is headed.

Although he is not a certified boy lover, Bill Donohue of the Catholic League has documented that he is mired in sex scandals that stretch from Chicago where he was born, to Peru, where he spent 20 years.

In a production worthy of Hollywood, he appeared on stage, to the declaration, “Habemus Papam,” we have a pope, when he was the logical pick of a College of Cardinals whose majority was selected by Pope Francis, a major leader of the Global Left.

No Mystery

Americans were led to believe by the media that there was some mystery to the selection, and the betting markets were misled as well, putting money on an Italian to get the job.

What we should have been told, in advance, was that he had to get the approval of the secretive Lavender or Gay Mafia in the Roman Catholic Church. This network dwarfs that of Jeffrey Epstein.

Important Catholic figures have called this evidence of the “powers of darkness” in the Vatican.

Robert Prevost, leader of 1.3 billion Catholics, is supposedly the first American pope but he did not say a word in English when he made his first appearance and accepted the nod. It was a deliberate snub to the home of his birth and — by extension — President Donald J. Trump. Instead, he spoke in Italian, and then Spanish, having served the church in Peru for 20 years, even acquiring Peruvian citizenship in 2015.

One American Catholic told me, “It left me cold,” as he failed to say one word in his papal remarks about the religious liberty and other constitutional freedoms that made missionary activities possible. “If he had spoken only in Italian I would feel differently, but the fact that he broke into Spanish and acknowledged the people of Peru made me anticipate the moment he would do the same for America!” It never came.

“I went from excitement to disappointment,” she said, when the news was announced and he failed to recognize America’s divine origins and mission in the world. “That was a direct slight to our country.  None of the commentators are even acknowledging that glaring and obvious omission!”

Media Malpractice

It’s true. Commentators on the right and left went completely limp-wristed at the thought that an “American” would get that position and failed to look at his awful record and how the corruption and communism in the church made it possible.

Pope Francis was considered the leader of the global left, and Leo XIV will certainly follow. That seems to be the plan, leading some to think he may be a “false prophet” of some kind, on the road to world government, and that the Roman Catholic Church has become part of the “New Age” movement in the post-Christian era.

Although he invoked the name of Mary, the Mother of God, he made no mention of Fatima, the place where in 1917 Catholics believe the Virgin Mary appeared to three children in a vision, followed by the Miracle of the Sun, to call for the Vatican to consecrate communist Russia to avoid “errors” that from that country which that would devastate the world. Russia’s wars of aggression, including the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, have accelerated, even as Trump pleads for ceasefires.

As a result, according to what the church itself believes, that war will continue, without end, and Russia and China will continue to wage war on the West.

The Church abandoned anti-communism after the Russians tried to kill Pope John Paul II for working with President Reagan to oppose Soviet Russia. Dr. Paul Kengor’s book, A Pope and a President: John Paul II, Ronald Reagan, and the Extraordinary Untold Story of the 20th Century, documents how, on the anniversary of Fatima, the Soviets carried out the May 13, 1981, attempted assassination of anti-communist Pope John Paul II.

Francis got the message and failed to carry out the consecration of Russia, as requested by the Virgin Mary at Fatima. He also cozied up to Vladimir Putin and his KGB-controlled Russian Orthodox Church and made a secret deal with Communist China to pick church officials there.

Persecuting Traditional Catholics

In practical terms, for Americans, Catholics who believe in the right to life and other traditional teachings are going to be given the boot, such as Texas Bishop Joseph E. Strickland, who was fired from his post by Francis, a major development that says a lot about Prevost’s rapid rise in the hierarchy. Strickland, an advocate of traditional Catholic teachings, was removed from his duties in the diocese of Tyler, Texas, on November 11, 2023.

Under Joe Biden, traditional Catholics were monitored and even investigated and raided by the FBI. It  categorized “certain Catholic Americans” as potential domestic terrorists.

As part of the Francis plan for his own replacement, Prevost had received his “red hat” from Pope Francis on September 30, 2023, and moved to Rome, where he became head of the Vatican Dicastery for Bishops and reportedly played a role in sacking Strickland. That means he was a Cardinal for only two years, obviously on the fast track to succeed Francis.

When Strickland was forced out, it is important to note that he was NOT caught in a sex scandal, and his Tyler, Texas, diocese did not have to go bankrupt because of sex scandal payouts to victims. Instead, he was accused of criticizing the pope.

“The only answer I have to that,” referring to his removal, “is because forces in the Church right now don’t want the truth of the Gospel,” Strickland said.

With traditional Catholics leaving, there is more room for those who believe in synthesizing Christianity and Communism into a bizarre philosophy of “Christian communism.” Democrats promoting abortion will still get communion.

The Catholic Church is the largest religious body in America and openly backed President Barack Hussein Obama’s socialist health care scheme known as “Obamacare” that is helping bankrupt the United States and leading to what they already have in Canada — medical assistance in dying (MAID), or euthanasia.

Future Church

Prevost said “we want to be a synodal church,” which implies watering down of Catholic doctrine to accommodate other religions, including those who worship the Earth Goddess Gaia, Islam’s false prophets, and Hinduism’s false gods.

Clearly, the “American-made” pope is American in name only and it took only a few hours to discover his devotion on social media to open borders for America. It is a Democratic Party policy that that has meant a foreign invasion by illegals and criminals from around the world that has inflicted true suffering on American citizens but does not affect Vatican officials living behind Vatican walls.

Target the Supreme Court

The timing of this selection is significant. One wonders if the pick of Prevost is designed to impact the U.S. Supreme Court and force its Catholic members to subvert Trump’s immigration control and deportation strategy. There are six Catholics on the Court (Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh, Barrett, and Sotomayor).

Although Catholics consider the pope to be the direct successor of St. Peter, the church has clearly changed and has become known more for corrupt practices involving the homosexual abuse of boys than preaching the Gospel. A RICO or racketeering lawsuit against the hierarchy over sexual abuse and cover-ups is warranted, according to some critics.

Perhaps Prevost could be arrested on American soil if he arrives to meet President Trump.

Operation Restore Justice, a nationwide initiative by the FBI to identify, track, and arrest child predators, could be directed at the Roman Catholic Church.

Now, with the faux “American Pope,” the deception and dishonesty have reached new heights, as some Catholics even doubt his legitimacy. One critic called Leo “the Spiritual Son of Francis-Bergoglio” and head of the “Synodal” New Church of the New Age. Francis, a Jesuit from Argentina, went by the name of Jorge Bergoglio before being named pope.

The Jesuit journal America published “The Catholic Case for Communism,” written by a so-called Catholic Communist.

It seems he was on a fast-track to succeed Francis, a calculated move designed to con Americans into backing him when his ascension to the position of Pope was suddenly announced in a “surprise.” This was a secret deal, much like the forced resignation of Pope Benedict that put Francis in the seat.

In order to explain his failure to acknowledge his American roots, one harkens back to Fratelli tutti, a Vatican document designed “to deconstruct the concept of private property, weakening it and modifying it in a collectivist and anti-capitalist sense.” Clearly, Leo is on the anti-capitalism religious bandwagon and is full of shame over the country of his birth.

On social media, since the evidence shows he has attacked the America First immigration policies of the Trump Administration, he will be another global impediment to America’s desire to protect its Christian heritage from foreign invaders.

Far-Left Social Agenda

He can be expected to follow the lead of Francis, who endorsed homosexual civil unions in a direct contradiction of what the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith taught in 2003, with the authority of John Paul II. It said that “Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions” and that “Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way, in keeping with their responsibility as politicians.”

Similarly, Prevost can be expected to follow the Francis document, Laudate Deum, described by his supporters as “a powerful exhortation to all people to address the climate crisis with faith and courage.” It was a follow-up to his environmental encyclical, Laudato si!, citing the mystical work of Teilhard De Chardin, who was nearly excommunicated for obscuring the nature of the God-man relationship mediated through Christ.

To his credit, Bill Donohue of the Catholic League notes that when Prevost was the bishop of the Peruvian Diocese of Chiclayo, three sisters say that “when they reported being sexually abused by a priest, he failed to investigate it.” Equally alarming, the new pope “allowed a homosexual priest in Chicago who was convicted of sexually abusing boys to stay in a residence near a Catholic elementary school; he never told the school administration about him. Also, the convicted molester, Father James Ray, was allowed to function as a priest, until he was later removed.”

The case of James Ray, a homosexual predator, was included in the Archdiocese of Chicago’s report of “Clergy with Substantiated Allegations of Sexual Misconduct with Minors.”

This case and others were covered in a special edition of Conclave Watch, an  initiative by the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP). The group had recently launched a “Conclave Watch” initiative to highlight candidates for the Papacy it says have covered up sexual abuse.

Tragically, the selection of the new Leo is more evidence that the Catholic Church has lost its way and it’s a certainty that the number of traditional Catholics not attending church, now estimated at one-third, will surely rise.

Dear Secretary Collins,

Don’t Throw the Baby Out With the Bath Water

I have read your statements pledging to benefit Veteran’s Care. Much of what you have done is beneficial and I am sure is in good faith. But, you can’t continue the terror felt by most employees forever. It is demoralizing. You must return to normal allowing local officials to correct errors of “Your One Program Fits All “ it doesn’t. You are losing both new and existing employees to higher paid employment elsewhere and the VA suffers. .

Let me make this clear. I voted for Trump and support most of his efforts in my writing. Most Veterans are MAGA supporters but if you harm the greatest health care system in the world they will turn on you with a vengeance.

The James A. Haley hospital here in Tampa gives far better care than any other hospital in the area and I will never go anywhere else. There is one problem, I must schedule my heart attacks during the week because VA Cath Lab is not staffed on the weekend, why.?

Last week I had a serious health issue requiring an ambulance. The crew wanted to take me to a closer hospital because they didn’t think I could make it to the VA, but I insisted. I spent 3 Days in Intense Care with dedicated and really caring nurses. This is just one example of how dedicated I am to the VA and how hard Veterans will fight for the VA which was promised upon enlistment.

No one at the VA asked me to write to you or even knows that I did. This letter is based solely on my observations and dedication to the VA.

I am a 91 year old legally blind disabled veteran on dialysis.

God Bless You and the Republic

The fight to stop the carbon capture pipeline across five Midwest states is yielding some positive results. But the forces behind it haven’t given up. Now, three more states are targeted. This tyranny over farmers can be stopped — but only if citizens’ freedom-fighting determination and dedication stand strong.

The carbon capture pipeline is one of the worst environmental scams ever. In all my years of fighting the lies and insane policies of the radical Left, this is without doubt their DUMBEST plan – but it’s also one of the MOST DANGEROUS that we have ever faced – especially for farmers.

Thousands and thousands of acres of privately-owned, food-producing Midwest Corn Belt farmland are being targeted for a 1300-mile-long carbon capture pipeline. The targeted states are South Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Nebraska.

The scam is to capture CO2 carbon dioxide and TRANSPORT IT UNDERGROUND!

The CO2 is to be buried in underground tanks – to stop global warming! The worst part of this idiotic scam is that it ignores biological science. CO2 is NOT a pollutant. It is natural food for trees and plants. None can live without CO2.

Here’s a scientific fact that the radical Greens are ignoring; For life to exist on earth, we need an average of 1,600 parts per million of CO2 in our atmosphere. However, right now, according to a chart provided by the U.S. Navy, we have only 400 parts per millions. That means we are facing CO2 starvation!

And yet, these so-called environmental “experts “are working to bury what we have in the ground – all to save the environment! This project is just as stupid and dangerous as Bill Gates’ plan to put up a sky level shield to block out the sun. And he proposed that with a straight face!

Just as I’ve been warning for over thirty-five years, all of this is part of the plot called for in Agenda 21, Agenda 2030, the Green New Deal and the Great Reset. In their words, “A blueprint for the reorganization of human society.” It has nothing to do with protecting the environment. It’s the scare tactic to get you to surrender your liberty to their global control.

Now, America’s farmers are on the front lines of the ground war to enforce that reorganization. Control the food – control our entire society. They are facing powerful forces — from rich corporations set on grabbing federal tax money to build the pipeline — to non-elected appointed government boards that are providing the power of eminent domain to enable those corporations to take any farmland they desire — to ignorant or corrupt elected representatives who refuse to stand up and protect their landowners.

I’ve run up against them all! It all started a couple of years ago when I was sponsored by the John Birch Society to travel to Iowa to address the carbon capture pipeline issue. I learned that the two main corporations pushing to build the pipeline were Summit Carbon Solutions and Navigator CO2 Ventures.

They sent out letters to farmlands in the proposed path of the pipeline, saying “Our goal is to reach voluntary agreements with all landowners along the Project route…” The goal was to get all landowners to sign an easement to “voluntarily” give up their land in the path of the project.

That path of the pipeline is not along the edges of the property where it wouldn’t interfere with the farmer’s use to grow crops. No, the pipeline will meander across the farm wherever the corporations want it – sometimes even as close as 60 feet from the house. And it’s not just a ditch for the pipes. It also includes buffer zones that could be twenty feet wide or more. The farmer loses control of that entire area.

But it gets worse. The Summit letter went on to explain that, if the farmer refused to voluntarily cooperate- “…if we are unable to do so (voluntarily) we may need to request the right of eminent domain (condemnation) from the (non-elected appointed Iowa Utilities Board. In other words, the corporation would use eminent domain to just take the land. Can you imagine how the farmers felt? Who stood with them to protect their land and their livelihood?

Then I was given a copy of a letter written by some Iowa county supervisors. It said the supervisors didn’t support the pipeline, but “THERE’S NOT MUCH WE CAN DO. IT LOOKS LIKE IT’S JUST GOING TO HAPPEN.”

That’s when I barnstormed the state and as I spoke to local audiences, I challenged all the county supervisors. “How dare you,” I said. “Who do you represent?” “Who will stand for these citizens? You swore an oath to represent THEM.” Further, I charged that the Iowa Utilities Board was not elected by anyone. And it was not the boss of these elected officials. I challenged them – “YOU COWARDS! When are you going to stand up and serve the people who elected you?”

I was surprised to learn that my speech was recorded by a local activist. He used the recording to make 300 DVDs and passed them out across the state, including to many county supervisors. And then he rented a movie theater and showed my recorded speech to a larger public audience.

The result was that several county supervisors did act. A few counties began to pass property rights protection legislation for the citizens in their individual areas. The legislation helped to serve as a roadblock to the pipeline, even as other counties took no action. That was a great start in the effort to stand up to the corporations.

Then the battle shifted to South Dakota where many farmers were publicly opposing the pipeline. Again, as in Iowa, I travelled across the state, speaking to local activists, providing ideas on how to stand up and fight to protect their property and farmers. In fact, I have been given credit by some of the local activists for inspiring positive action in their fight.

The fight in South Dakota became vicious as the corporations took action to silence opposition. One farmer, Jared Bossly, was very open in his opposition to the pipeline. He had signs posted on his property specifically notifying the pipeline corporations to not come on his property without his permission.

Summit Carbon Solutions decided to make an example of him to show other farmers what would happen if they openly opposed the pipeline. One day, without warning, as Bossly was out working in his fields, Summit arrived at his house. They began to walk around his property and even entered his barn where he had his farm office.

His wife, scared by these strangers on their land, called Jared, who was working out in the field. In a quick six second phone conversation with her, he said “we will need to get the sheriff involved.”

Jared did not talk directly to the surveyors. But those surveyors reported that he had threatened their lives. HE DID NO SUCH THING. But a judge put a restraining order on him, as if he was a danger to these corporate trespassers.

Then, less than two weeks later, Summit sent another team to his property, complete with armed guards and huge equipment designed to drill 90-foot-deep holes into his soil. They drove this monster equipment over his soybean and corn crops destroying them. But, by order of the judge, Jared was not allowed to confront or interact with them – on his own property.

It is obvious that Summit’s purpose in this intimidation tactic was to scare other farmers from opposing the pipeline on their own land, and to silence their opposition. That tactic backfired! Instead of silencing them, farmers rose up like never before in opposition. Within days, the farmers held a rally at the South Dakota state capital, demanding that the governor and state legislature take action to protect their property rights.

The battle has taken a positive turn. Suddenly, Navigator cancelled its plans to build its pipeline. In addition, recently, South Dakota Governor Larry Rhoden signed a bill banning the use of eminent domain for carbon capture pipelines.

Of course, that is a huge victory and should end the threat. But the real problem is Summit Carbon Solutions. It’s planning legal action to stop the ban. Also, Summit is looking for a possible new route around South Dakota to continue the pipeline into North Dakota. Most recently, a new carbon capture pipeline project has been announced to cover Ohio, West Virginia, and western Pennsylvania. For those states, the battle begins anew.

The Carbon Capture Pipeline is a scam that has nothing to do with protecting the environment. It is simply a weapon to take valuable farmland as evil forces work to impose their global agenda on us. The key weapon for stopping the threat is to fight for protection of property rights. Local elected officials must make the determination – who do they represent? – private corporations and non-elected Boards, or the people who elected them?

Clean Up in Aisle 4!

In this allegorical scenario, Honey and Hank moved into a cozy home in a small community in New England 30 years ago.  The next day, their neighbor, Irene, brings over a hot, homemade casserole to welcome them to the neighborhood.

Within minutes, Honey and Irene “connect” in a phenomenon known as human chemistry. They just seem to “get” each other. And as their relationship evolves, they learn that they are on the same page on just about everything: raising kids, favorite foods, must-see TV programs, Mommy-and-Me classes, even the crocheting and knitting that their grandmothers taught them. And each of them has three children, with two of them having the same name!

As luck would have it, their husbands also hit it off and have quite a lot in common, the biggest that both are on-the-road salesmen.

Over the years, the couples become so close that they vacation and celebrate birthdays and holidays together. Honey and Irene even exchange house keys and list each other as emergency contacts on medical forms.

All good…for 30 years!

Uh-Oh…

Then, one day, Honey gets a phone call from her bank manager, Mr. Hervey, requesting that she and Hank come in for a sit-down.

“Of course,” Honey says, speculating with Hank that the investment they made with the bank’s money manager has either yielded a brilliant bonanza or — yikes — has gone bust.

When they sit down the next day with the Mr. Hervey — whom they call Linc, short for Lincoln — they notice a decidedly serious look on his face.

“Look,” he says. “We live in a small town where everyone knows everything about everyone else. I know Irene and her husband Fred very well. And I know how close you’ve been over all these years. I even know that you exchanged house keys in case of an emergency. And Honey, I know that you gave Irene the PIN to your bank account, again in case of an emergency.”

At this point, Honey and Hank are nonplussed, having no idea where Linc Hervey is going with this strange introduction.

“Well, I hate to tell you this,” he says, “but we just discovered that over the years — many, many years — Irene has been withdrawing money from your account — very cleverly, so you would never notice — but now it has added up to a small fortune.  A real fortune.”

When Mr. Hervey tells them the amount, they are both dumbstruck, speechless, almost out of breath.

Enter Politics

Both Hank and Fred, as mentioned, were businessmen, capitalists, conservatives. At the same time, both men tolerated that their wives were liberals with do-gooder instincts to save the climate, save the whales, save humanity! Both men had decided that it wasn’t worth arguing, because most other things in their lives were so harmonious.

But sitting in front of the bank manager, who had just informed him that his wife’s best friend was a colossal fraud, a thief, and worthy of a felony conviction, Hank immediately took out his iPhone and looked up the numbers of his lawyer and his local police department, with the intention of having Irene (and possibly her husband Fred, as a co-conspirator) served with papers and then arrested and, he hoped, indicted and imprisoned.

Honey, on the other hand, started screaming at the bank manager. “How dare you accuse Irene of any wrongdoing? You are on a witch hunt. You have no proof!”

“Unfortunately, Honey, we have empirical proof,” Linc said, “all scrupulously documented on our computers, going back years, in fact decades.”

Skip to 2025

Is this scenario not exactly what Americans — and, for that matter, the entire world — have been witnessing in real time as Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) discover the malfeasance, fraud, and criminality of not the fictional housewife Irene, but the real live people who run our massive government institutions? To name only a few, there are the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Pentagon, and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).  All of these have been fleecing our country — with our tax dollars — not of millions or billions, but of trillions of dollars!

In fact, DOGE has been unearthing the deep corruption involving both Republicans and (mostly) Democrats and proving the maxim that to unearth criminal behavior, always, always, always follow the money!

We have learned that our elected officials have sent vast fortunes to terrorist groups with eye-popping millions upon millions of dollars.  And looky here:

Among other egregious examples of the kinds of waste, fraud, and abuse DOGE has been uncovering is that tens of millions of dead people are on our Social Security rolls, many of them children and people over 115 years old! And look what DOGE found — that $4.7 trillion in payments from the Treasury Department were “almost impossible” to track. That is trillion, with a T!

DOGE has also found that California, New York, and Massachusetts, three deep-blue states — surprise, surprise! — were responsible for over half of the fraudulent unemployment claims in the United States since 2020, again involving massive mountains of  money.

Enter the Pearl-Clutchers

OMG, bleat the perpetually sky-is-falling, glass-is-half-empty leftists. This is illegitimate! While, according to Victor Davis Hanson, Musk acts completely under executive authority.

Like Honey, they are shooting the messenger. That is understandable. After all, most of the criminality has been committed by the people they trusted, sent money to, voted for, based their entire belief systems on. Talk about an existential threat!

But unlike Honey, if it were their own personal bank accounts that were robbed, you can be sure they would be squarely in Hank’s camp, going after the crooks with the intention of bringing them to justice.

They remind me of a child having a temper tantrum in Aisle 4 of a supermarket — flailing arms, copious tears, kicking and screaming, crashing the cans and breakable jars off the shelf, simply because Mommy didn’t buy those all-important Animal Crackers.

“Clean-up in Aisle 4” is then blared over the loudspeaker.

That is what DOGE is all about: cleaning up the monumental financial mess that our greedy and corrupt elected officials and government agencies have inflicted on all of us.

Here is a way to keep track of the immense savings — and criminality — DOGE is uncovering every day.  So far, literally billions — going on trillions — in fraud, waste and abuse.

May this grand effort to Make America Great — and financially solvent — Again continue unimpeded!

Earth Day popped up its dizzy head again this year. I was silly thinking that, because the whole Earth Day/Climate Change/Global Warming fraud had been exposed so well over the past decade or so, that we would celebrate farmers, ranchers, coal workers, homesteaders, and all the rest of those working to keep God’s green earth truly green and thriving.

Then I got this email from Grist Magazine:

Every year, Earth Day reminds us why telling the full climate story matters.

This isn’t just a day to celebrate the beauty of the natural world — it’s a moment to reckon with how much is at stake. This year, we’re facing intensifying wildfires, historic droughts, and worrying rollbacks to key climate protections.

At Grist, we believe that setbacks aren’t the end of the story — they’re a reason to dig deeper.

Our journalists follow the hard truths: Who’s driving these environmental rollbacks? Who’s profiting from climate denial? And just as importantly — who’s creating real, scalable solutions that deserve a spotlight?

We know climate change is one of the defining challenges of our time. But how we tell the story — the voices we center, the nuance we include, the hope we offer — can change everything.

Grist is here to make sure that story is told truthfully and comprehensively.

It seems that some people/organization leaders have either not awakened to the truth or want to try to keep the funds coming in in a fight against the non-extent fear of Global Warming.  It would be (it is) easy to dig deep – back to the early days of Earth Day and find out where the upside-down science came from. Why hasn’t Grist and other purveyors of” Man-made global warming is destroying the earth, so we must rid the earth of most humans. Oh, and take control of every aspect of life on earth.

It all began because some people wanted to control the entire world. They found each other and began planning how to achieve world-dominance.

Cecil Rhodes, in his Confession of Faith, is credited with the idea of recapturing the United States for the British Empire. This idea was to lead to the United Nations and all the necessary steps to erase nationalism and establish a one-world order. And many steps there were, as you can imagine – from setting up eleemosynary (in name only) organizations/foundations ¹ that would form the basic tools of public/private/partnerships associated with the United Nations to reinvent governments around the world – especially the constitutional American one.

In order to scare the pants off us – enough to be willing to do almost anything to rid the world of excess CO2 (which actually keeps us alive) – the powers-that-be on both sides of the political aisle – have fed us lies as facts, lies that tell us if we don’t reduce the earth’s population by over 95%, quit eating meat, quit using fossil fuels. There’s a huge list of forbidden activities if we want to save Mother Earth and her non-human inhabitants. ²

CFACT’s climate specialist, Marc Morano, pointed out, “We can’t distinguish between natural variability and human impact”. (note: this short piece spells it out, short but not at all sweet..

Oh, yes, there really are climate scientists who wholeheartedly disagree with the supposed findings that spurred the Global Biodiversity Assessment. The original study of Global Warming didn’t show that we were facing a dire future. A letter signed by over 50 leading members of the American Meteorological Society warned about the policies promoted by environmental pressure groups. “The policy initiatives derive from highly uncertain scientific theories. They are based on the unsupported assumption that catastrophic global warming follows from the burning of fossil fuel and requires immediate action. We do not agree.” ³

From day one, honest scientists have been telling us “Global warming” was a hoax. And ever since, we get intermittent articles reminding us. For example, in 2007, the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works put out a news release stating harsh sound facts:

“Anthropogenic (man-made) global warming bites the dust,” declared astronomer Dr. Ian Wilson after reviewing the new study which has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Geophysical Research.  Another scientist said the peer-reviewed study overturned “in one fell swoop” the climate fears promoted by the UN and former Vice President Al Gore. The study entitled “Heat Capacity, Time Constant, and Sensitivity of Earth’s Climate System,” was authored by Brookhaven National Lab scientist Stephen Schwartz.

I think what we are seeing is an intense drive to bring back the lies the globalist elite and their toadies have promulgated for too many decades. We have a window here that we must take advantage of a window that is open to sound science, reason, logic, and rule of law. Almost all of the tenets we believe in, based our values, attitudes, and beliefs on have been under attack by Socialist one-worlders who have been free to brainwash, program, and indoctrinate across the spectrum of venues from the schools to the churches to the mainstream media  — even our courts and governments.

Now it truly is time to write and speak the truth of global warming. It is time for reason and logic to prevail.

FBI Director Kash Patel is a man on a mission, a relentless force cutting through the fog of deception surrounding January 6, 2021. A recent report from the Dunning-Kruger Times claimed Patel seized the phone and bank records of Nancy Pelosi’s entire staff from that fateful day, alleging a conspiracy to frame patriots and smear the MAGA movement. But here’s the rub: the Dunning-Kruger Times is satire, a biting parody that exaggerates for effect. While the story isn’t factual, it channels a more profound truth—Patel’s unyielding crusade against the Deep State’s narratives makes him the kind of leader who would shake the foundations of the corrupt elite. This article sets the record straight while amplifying Patel’s righteous fight with the same thunderous conviction.

The satirical piece painted a vivid picture: Patel’s FBI combing through bank transfers, Venmo payments, and Uber receipts to expose Pelosi’s aides as orchestrators of January 6 chaos. It’s fiction, not reality—no such seizures have been documented. But the story resonates because it captures the spirit of Patel’s war on the establishment. He’s not chasing coffee receipts or coded texts; he’s targeting the lies that have festered since that day. The Deep State wants you to believe January 6 was a simple riot, a spontaneous act by rogue Trump supporters. Patel knows better, and so do we. The Capitol events were exploited to vilify patriots. While the Dunning-Kruger Times took creative liberties, its satire underscores a real suspicion: the official narrative stinks, and Patel’s the man to blow it apart.

Patel isn’t deterred by satire or smears. A former prosecutor, National Security Council warrior, and author of the Nunes Memo, he has built a career dismantling the establishment’s hoaxes. From exposing the Russia collusion farce to defending January 6 defendants through his Kash Foundation, Patel has proven he is a patriot who fights for the forgotten. The Dunning-Kruger Times may have spun a yarn, but it’s not hard to imagine Patel leading a charge to uncover the truth about January 6. He has faced down the DOJ, shrugged off media hit pieces, and stared into the abyss of grand juries without blinking. This man thrives in the crucible, and the idea of him seizing records to expose a Pelosi-led plot fits his relentless character, even if it is fictional.

Let’s talk facts: Patel’s real work is just as explosive. As FBI Director, he’s positioned to delve into the murky details of January 6—not with satirical flourishes but with hard evidence. The House January 6 Committee, packed with Pelosi loyalists, pushed a one-sided narrative, ignoring inconvenient truths such as the FBI’s informants in the crowd and the questionable role of Capitol security. Patel doesn’t need to chase Venmo payments to know something’s rotten; he can demand answers from agencies, subpoena documents, and grill bureaucrats hiding behind “classified” stamps for too long. The Dunning-Kruger Times may have exaggerated, but it’s not wrong about one thing: Patel terrifies the swamp.

The establishment is desperate to downplay the complexities of January 6. They scream “insurrection” to silence dissent, but Patel isn’t buying it. He’s seen how the Deep State operates—staging crises, twisting facts, and weaponizing power to crush opposition. The satirical report called Pelosi the ringleader of a cabal, and while that’s hyperbole, her influence over the January 6 narrative is undeniable. She handpicked the committee, controlled its scope, and ensured it buried anything that didn’t fit the “Trump’s fault” script. Patel’s fundamental mission isn’t about seizing staff records; it’s about dismantling this rigged system, exposing every lie, and giving voice to the millions who feel betrayed by their government.

The left is already howling, dismissing Patel as a Trump loyalist. Let them. Loyalty to truth, the Constitution, and the American people—that’s what drives him. The Dunning-Kruger Times story, though fake, shines a spotlight on why Patel’s enemies fear him: he’s unstoppable. His book Government Gangsters names the corrupt; his actions shame them, and his leadership at the FBI will bury them. The satire got the details wrong, but the vibe was right—Patel’s a warrior, and the Deep State’s on notice. Every dodged question, every shredded document, and every shady deal from January 6 will face his scrutiny. The American people demand answers, and Patel’s delivering them with a sledgehammer.

So let the satirists spin their tales. They’re merely echoing what patriots already feel: the system is broken, and Kash Patel is the man to fix it. The Dunning-Kruger Times may have fired a fictional shot, but Patel’s real battle is a revolution of truth. He’s not hunting Pelosi’s aides with a dragnet; he’s hunting the lies that have poisoned this nation. The swamp is trembling, and they should be. Patel is coming, and he’s bringing hell with him. The truth will out; when it does, the architects of January 6’s narrative will wish they’d never underestimated the man who dared to fight

Let me state right off the bat that I have always been a competitive guy.  It is in my DNA.  Maybe that is why my parents named me DAVID, knowing that my big brothers were going to pick on “Baby Dave” as my family called me during my pre-pubescent days.  Being the runt of the litter came with a competitive nature and a willingness to take on the giants all around me.

Perhaps that is why competitive athletics became such a strong outlet of mine.  Strong men LOVE competitors…underdogs…heroes…fearless men.  That is why stadiums are filled across this nation during the fall…we call it football season…where people buy expensive tickets to watch men compete.   There is no better place to watch bravery played out.

Americans love watching brave men.  We live vicariously through them as we witness the controlled violence before us.  Our nation dedicates an entire weekend to Super Bowl Sunday. Churches gather men together to watch the gladiators compete.  All men and women love bravery.  It is the most noble of character traits.

Noah Webster defined bravery as:

Courage; heroism; undaunted spirit; intrepidity; gallantry; fearlessness of danger; often united with generosity or dignity of mind which despises meanness and cruelty, and disdains to take advantage of a vanquished enemy.

Why is there so little of it in the American Church?

The dictionary uses another term called pusillanimous from which we get the modern term “pussy.”  When one is called that derogatory term, it has NOTHING to do with a female body part.  Pusillanimous means “Destitute of that strength and firmness of mind which constitute courage, bravery and fortitude; being of weak courage…”

Why is Christianity so pussified?  (Sorry friends.  That is not vulgar) Pussified means cowardly.

Courage is not synonymous with manhood.  Women can also be courageous.  But it is nearly impossible to be a REAL MAN and lack courage.    My Christian friends, you are least like our Savior when you are cowardly.  Bravery is not the absence of fear but rather the OVERCOMING of fear.  Christian men are least Christ-like when they shrink in the face of opposition.

Does the church you attend encourage bravery?  Does the man in the pulpit exhibit it?  Does he extoll you to stand up and speak up against the forces of darkness?  Does he encourage you to fight for Christian virtue?

I was shocked a few months ago when President Trump signed an executive order declaring that there are only 2 genders.  In that one move, he demonstrated more Christian Testosterone than 90% of America’s pulpits.   Most American pastors are pusillanimous in the face of a Luciferian-powered culture.

Franklin Graham didn’t declare it.  Neither did Joel Osteen, Rick Warren, Bennie Hinn, or TD Jakes.  Nope crass, masculine off-putting Donald Trump was the one who stood before the forces of darkness and defended GOD’S STANDARD.  Two genders Baby.  Like it or lump it.

There was a day in America when Chivalry was taught to American children clearly defining male/female roles.   Feminism destroyed chivalry.  Feminism destroyed the family.   Somewhere along the line Christianity stopped being about advancing a Kingdom and morphed into personal life-enhancement program.

I did an internet search on CHIVALY.  Chivalry is nothing more than God’s design for male/female roles.  The 7 traits of Chivalry are:

• Protect the weak
• Loyalty to God
• Protect the weak.
• Duty
• Honesty
• Generosity
• Courage

Are those traits modeled and promoted in the luke-warm church that you attend?  Did YOUR Pastor have the courage to declare that before Trump did?  Did he promote blind obedience to Luciferian government?  Did he wear a mask?  Shut down the church?

I guess my point is this…modern American Christianity will not draw masculine men.  The church is designed to please women.  Soft men produce a soft Gospel.  Soft Gospels promote compromise.  Compromise undermines TRUTH.   Only Truth sets people free.

The modern American church has created a pusillanimous, passive, who-am-I-to-judge, weak version of masculine Christianity.  Romans 8:19 declares that “ For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.”

I once had a friend tell me “I would consider going to church but I don’t want to have to give up my balls.”  What is it about the church that would draw a brave man through the doors?  Churches no longer sing masculine hymns.  They sing sissified love songs to our King.

Do ya’ll remember a character called John the Baptist?   You know, the guy who didn’t fit in the standard church scene during Jesus’ days.  He was so old-school he even had a diet different from everyone else. But Jesus sure knew who he was.  When they asked Jesus who was the greatest Christian ever Jesus answered without hesitation…

“Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist…”

Could it be that Mr. Baptist spoke Truth to power…the same reason that his cousin JESUS got in trouble with the Governmental officials of His day?

Jesus and his cousin John were not pusillanimous.  Both of them oozed bravery.  John the Baptist would have been a J6er.  Would he even be welcome in the American church today?

• Do Catholic Charities act primarily for religious purposes?
• Did the Wisconsin Supreme Court violate the First Amendment when they said no?
• Should a religious charity act like minister to be eligible for a tax exemption?

The State of Wisconsin exempts religious organizations from their unemployment tax system. Even though everyone agrees that Catholic Charities is controlled by a church, the Wisconsin Supreme Court held that Catholic Charities is not “operated primarily for religious purposes,” and therefore does not qualify for the exemption. Catholic Charities appealed to the Supreme Court to ask if that decision violated the First Amendment.

Background

To understand the primary issue in this case, we have to back up a little bit. In 1939, Congress passed the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA), which required employers to pay a tax on employee wages into an unemployment fund. The fact that this law is a blatant violation of the Constitution is not the issue though. Wisconsin, like many states, passed their own unemployment laws, many very similar to the federal law. This law includes an exception for religious entities operated primarily for religious purposes. Why did the state include this exemption? I think it is best described in the argument by Colin T. Roth, attorney for the Wisconsin Labor & Industry Review Commission:

This religious accommodation solves a particular problem posed by the unemployment insurance system. When determining benefit eligibility, the state must often resolve disputes over whether an employee was discharged for misconduct. If so, no benefits. Now consider churches and their affiliates whose employees express an inculcate religious doctrine through worship, proselytization, and religious education. For those employers, misconduct disputes could often force the state to decide whether employees complied with religious doctrine.

Catholic Charities Bureau, Inc., et al., v. Wisconsin Labor & Industry Review Commission, et al.

The question before the court is, when the Wisconsin Supreme Court claimed that Catholic Charities did not qualify for the exemption, did they violate the First Amendment?

Eric C. Rassbach on Behalf of the Petitioners

As always, oral arguments start with the attorney representing those who asked the court to review the case, the petitioners.

1. RASSBACH: Mr. Chief Justice, and may it please the Court:

This case is not complicated. The Wisconsin Supreme Court got it wrong when it interpreted a state-law religious exemption to favor what it called “typical” religious activity and when it held that helping the poor can’t be religious, because secular people help the poor too. To resolve this case this Court need do nothing more than say that the Constitution doesn’t allow courts to do that.

Catholic Charities Bureau, Inc., et al., v. Wisconsin Labor & Industry Review Commission, et al.

While there is a lot of legalese in this case, I think this paragraph summarizes Catholic Charities’ complaint. The Wisconsin Supreme Court decided that Catholic Charities wasn’t religious enough. From the petition to the Supreme Court I found:

The court concluded that Catholic Charities’ activities were not religious because:

• “[Catholic Charities] and the sub-entities, * * * neither attempt to imbue program participants with the Catholic faith nor supply any religious materials to program participants or employees.”
• “Both employment with the organizations and services offered by the organizations are open to all participants regardless of religion.”
• Catholic Charities and its sub-entities do not engage “in worship services, religious outreach, ceremony, or religious education.”

Indeed, after assessing the “nature” of Catholic Charities’ activities, the Wisconsin Supreme Court concluded they were “primarily charitable and secular, ” even though Catholic Charities views them as religious.

Catholic Charities Bureau, Inc., et al., v. Wisconsin Labor & Industry Review Commission, et al. – Petition for a Writ of Certiorari

During oral arguments there was some discussion about the fact that Catholic Charities is independently incorporated, but is overseen by a Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese. But the question that kept coming up is how do you define “religious activities”? More on that later.

That conclusion breaks no new doctrinal ground, and most courts have no difficulty applying religious exemptions constitutionally. The problem here is that Wisconsin draws distinctions along theological lines, something that this Court has repeatedly forbidden.

Wisconsin compares its rule to the ministerial exception. But Wisconsin’s rule would be equally unconstitutional in a ministerial exception context. No court would hold that clergy who preach on Saturday are not ministers because preaching on Sunday is more typical. Nor would any court hold that a religious leader who helps the poor isn’t a minister because secular leaders help the poor too. By that measure, Mother Teresa might not qualify.

Catholic Charities Bureau, Inc., et al., v. Wisconsin Labor & Industry Review Commission, et al.

The state tried very hard to equate the unemployment tax exemption to what is known as the “ministerial exception.” This legal practice exempts ministers from certain taxes, but only if they perform certain ministerial duties. That also will be discussed later.

In short, there is nothing wrong with the statutory text here or with how most legislatures and courts deal with religious accommodations. The problem is how the Wisconsin Supreme Court applied the religious purposes exemption.

I welcome the Court’s questions.

Catholic Charities Bureau, Inc., et al., v. Wisconsin Labor & Industry Review Commission, et al.

One of the frequently referred to hypothetical situations was brought up by Chief Justice Roberts.

CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: What if you have a religion that thinks it’s a sin to eat — eat meat, and they — to promote eating of non-meat dinners they open a restaurant, but it’s only vegetables and, you know, non-meat? Could — do they have a claim to be exempt from state taxes, food taxes, everything else, because that’s a —

1. RASSBACH: Well —

CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: So, assuming it’s a sincerely held belief and it’s important to them, and you’re going to be taxing them — you’re going to be taxing the exercise of their beliefs?

1. RASSBACH: So I think it depends on whether the statute that’s, you know, imposing the tax says, you know, this applies to meat-eating people or not to meat-eating people. That — that’s what we have to —

CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: It just applies — applies across the board. And they claim an exemption from it because this is a part of their religious exercise.

1. RASSBACH: I — I don’t think that’s — I — I don’t think that that would be — they would necessarily have a claim there because it’s not something where the religious organization is being discriminated against along theological lines. That is, there’s a — a rule across the board.

Catholic Charities Bureau, Inc., et al., v. Wisconsin Labor & Industry Review Commission, et al.

I found this hypothetical fairly disingenuous. First off, while there are a few, I am not aware of many restaurants that function for charitable purposes, much less religious ones. If we take Justice Robert’s hypothetical at face value, the question becomes what is the religious purpose? Let’s ignore the vegan question and focus on what the law requires: A religious purpose. If a restaurant is opened for the express purpose of a religious duty like feeding the poor, helping the homeless, or spreading a religious message, then I think it should qualify for the exemption. Yes, there are restaurants that the feed the poor or homeless without a religious duty, which gets into another question the court dealt with. In fact Justice Jackson got right to this point.

JUSTICE JACKSON: So can I just be clear on your argument? Because I’m just wanting to understand it.

It sounds like you are saying that to the extent the state has chosen to exempt religious groups, the line that they are drawing divides Catholic Charities, which don’t perform certain, quote/unquote, “typical” religious activities with respect to their charity and other kinds of religions which may evangelize, proselytize, or whatever. Is that — so it’s the discrimination between Catholic Charities and charities run by other kinds of churches that you are focused on?

1. RASSBACH: That’s right. Because this is just within a religious exemption that already exists. And they are disfavoring Catholic Charities because they serve non-Catholics because they hire non-Catholics and because they have — they don’t proselytize.

Catholic Charities Bureau, Inc., et al., v. Wisconsin Labor & Industry Review Commission, et al.

According to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, the only “religious purposes” they recognize for this exemption is promoting your religion. Several of the justices will delve deeper into this when they question Colin T. Roth, attorney for the Wisconsin Labor & Industry Review Commission.

Now, let’s look at the argument from the United States in support of Catholic Charities.

Curtis E. Gannon For The United States, Supporting The Petitioners

Mr. Gannon, Deputy Solicitor General argued as amicus curiae, or “friend of the court”.

1. GANNON: Mr. Chief Justice and may it please the Court:

Wisconsin has opted into the cooperative framework of the Federal Unemployment Tax Act and has enacted the federal statutes exemption for religious employers, which applies to certain church-controlled organizations that are, quote, “operated primarily for religious purposes.”

Petitioner serves as the social ministry arm of a diocese of the Catholic Church. They correctly told the Wisconsin Supreme Court that they qualify for the exemption under the statute. That court erred in its reading of the statutory text, and because it explains that the Wisconsin statute conforms with the federal one, this Court should correct its mistake. That would avoid serious constitutional questions, just as this Court did when it construed FUTA’s religious employer exception in St. Martin in 1981.

If the Court reaches the constitutional question, it should reject the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s analysis, which second-guesses the religious nature of sincerely held expressions of faith and, worse, risks discrimination among various faiths by singling out certain activities that are deemed inherently secular.

I welcome the Court’s questions.

Catholic Charities Bureau, Inc., et al., v. Wisconsin Labor & Industry Review Commission, et al.

In short, the Department of Justice under the current administration thinks the Wisconsin Supreme Court got it wrong. First, because the Wisconsin state matches the federal one, and previous courts have found what Catholic Charities does is primarily for religious purposes. Second, even if the court doesn’t find on the statutory grounds, the Wisconsin Supreme Court erred by second-guessing Catholic Charities religious purpose.

Justice Gorsuch brought up the idea of proselytization back into the discussion.

JUSTICE GORSUCH: — on the — on the discrimination grounds, why would we have to get into any of that? There’s no dispute that Catholic Charities exists primarily for religious purposes. There’s no dispute about the sincerity of their religious belief.

And the only question is whether it’s treating different religions differently because some proselytize when they provide services and others don’t. Wouldn’t — wouldn’t it just be that simple?

1. GANNON: I agree with all of that. I –I think that the biggest problem with it is that it grants what we think is a wrong reading of the —

JUSTICE GORSUCH: You say we —

1. GANNON: — verbatim text of a federal statute.

Catholic Charities Bureau, Inc., et al., v. Wisconsin Labor & Industry Review Commission, et al.

This idea that Catholic Charities does not proselytize, or attempt to convert someone to their faith, seems to be a big hang-up for the Wisconsin Supreme Court. This discriminates against different organizations based on how they exercise their religious beliefs.

1. GANNON: That — that is correct, but we also think that there shouldn’t be a dispute that it is operated primarily for religious purposes because what the Court should not be doing is looking at particular activities and defining them as inherently secular or inherently religious.

JUSTICE GORSUCH: The — that’s the discrimination problem.

1. GANNON: Yes. That is a similar problem even for purposes of — of construing the statute.

JUSTICE GORSUCH: Got you.

Catholic Charities Bureau, Inc., et al., v. Wisconsin Labor & Industry Review Commission, et al.

Interesting, that the Wisconsin Supreme Court, in an attempt to avoid entangling itself in religious issues, entangles itself by defining what is and is not a religious purpose. Justice Jackson attempted to define purpose not based on why something is done, but by what is done.

But there’s another idea of purpose that would be: What is this organization’s activities about? What — what is — what are they offering? And I guess my — my concern is that that view of “purpose” seems to make more sense of the exemption in this case.

I mean, if the entities, if the two hospitals, the Catholic hospital and the secular hospital are performing the same services, I don’t understand why one would be exempt just because they have religious motivation versus the other. I don’t know what — what the statute is doing to make that kind of distinction.

Catholic Charities Bureau, Inc., et al., v. Wisconsin Labor & Industry Review Commission, et al.

It seems Justice Jackson has an issue with the definition of the word “purpose.” She equates “purpose” with what is being done and what services are being provided, not why they are provided. Merriam-Webster defines purpose as:

something set up as an object or end to be attained

Purpose – Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary

To use Justice Jackson’s example, a hospital could treat patients simply for the financial gain or because their religious doctrine tells them to heal the sick. One is a religious purpose, the other is not. But there appears to be more to Justice Jackson’s confusion.

JUSTICE JACKSON: No, what I’m saying is if you are right that the — the line that’s being drawn here is about motivation, I don’t understand how the exemption works. There must be some rational reason why Congress would want to exempt the exact same kinds of services being provided just because they are being provided by somebody who’s religiously motivated versus, you know, the restaurant that — you know, we have two identical vegan restaurants. One is being run by people who say this is a tenet of our faith and we’re doing it in order to — to be a ministry for our religion. And the other is run by a person who has so no motivation. What would one, rationally, be under the employment exemption and the other one doesn’t?

Catholic Charities Bureau, Inc., et al., v. Wisconsin Labor & Industry Review Commission, et al.

How about the First Amendment’s requirement that Congress not make a law that prohibits the free-exercise of one’s religion?

JUSTICE JACKSON: If you — if you instead think of purpose as not motivation, if you think of it as the actual services that are being provided and the distinction is in that, then Wisconsin says the reason why we’re exempting novitiates is because if we don’t, we’re going to get entangled in religion as we try to adjudicate those kinds of claims.

That — it — it only makes sense if purpose is, like, focused on the activities, rather than the motivation.

Catholic Charities Bureau, Inc., et al., v. Wisconsin Labor & Industry Review Commission, et al.

Actually, Justice Jackson’s statement, “it only makes sense of purpose is motivation not as service” doesn’t make sense. Does a doctor perform an appendectomy for the fee he collects, or is he motivated by a religious duty to heal the sick? Does he waive his fee for tax purposes or because his religion tells him to help the poor? No Justice Jackson, the service is not the purpose, the motivation behind the service is.

Colin T. Roth on Behalf of the Respondents

Now that we’ve been through the arguments for Catholic Charities, it’s time for arguments for Wisconsin Labor & Industry Review Commission, or more accurately, how the Wisconsin Supreme Court decided this case. Arguments are presented by Colin T. Roth.

1. ROTH: Mr. Chief Justice, and may it please the Court:

This religious accommodation solves a particular problem posed by the unemployment insurance system. When determining benefit eligibility, the state must often resolve disputes over whether an employee was discharged for misconduct. If so, no benefits. Now consider churches and their affiliates whose employees express an inculcate religious doctrine through worship, proselytization, and religious education. For those employers, misconduct disputes could often force the state to decide whether employees complied with religious doctrine.

Catholic Charities Bureau, Inc., et al., v. Wisconsin Labor & Industry Review Commission, et al.

As I’ve already pointed out, the reason for the exemption is to disentangle government from questions of religious doctrine.

So Wisconsin gives those kinds of employers a wide berth by prophylactically exempting them. But because exemption means employees lose state unemployment insurance coverage altogether, exemption is limited to the employers most likely to draw the state into doctrinal disputes.

Catholic Charities Bureau, Inc., et al., v. Wisconsin Labor & Industry Review Commission, et al.

So the main concern of the State of Wisconsin, the “compelling government interest” in denying the exemption to Catholic Charities, is their employees won’t be eligible for state unemployment insurance.

So Wisconsin’s search for worship, proselytization, and religious education, much like the ministerial exception, thus does not decide what is religious in the abstract, nor does it discriminate among denominations. Instead, these activities are what reasonably limit the exemption to the employers most likely to pose entanglement problems.

Catholic Charities Bureau, Inc., et al., v. Wisconsin Labor & Industry Review Commission, et al.

In their attempt to keep the state out of doctrinal disputes, the State of Wisconsin places itself in the middle of a doctrinal dispute. Specifically, is the only religious purposes someone is exempt for limited to worship, proselytization, and religious education? In effect, the State of Wisconsin limits religious purpose to those actives regularly associated with the conduct of a minister.

Petitioners’ motive-only test has no such limits. It would leave potentially over 1 million employees nationwide without unemployment coverage, like nurses and janitors at religiously affiliated hospitals, even though the state can virtually always determine their benefit eligibility without confronting religious doctrine.

Catholic Charities Bureau, Inc., et al., v. Wisconsin Labor & Industry Review Commission, et al.

Mr. Roth is incorrect. Petitioner’s test would only leave this theoretical 1 million employees with state provided unemployment coverage. Catholic Charities actually has its own unemployment insurance which covers these employees.

The State of Wisconsin also seems to ignore the fact that employment is a voluntary act. If someone perceives working for a religiously motivated organization above participating in a compulsory unemployment insurance program, isn’t that their choice? Especially when you consider all of the other non-tangible benefits a religious person may gain from working for such an employer.

And Petitioners’ view that the First Amendment requires a motive-only test would radically expand similar exemptions like 501(c)(3), Title VII, Section 702, and property tax exemptions, all of which examine what organizations do, not simply their motives for acting.

Petitioners’ theory ultimately leads to an all-or-nothing rule, exempt all religious groups or none. Such a rule could incentivize legislatures to cut back on religious accommodations altogether.

I welcome your questions.

Catholic Charities Bureau, Inc., et al., v. Wisconsin Labor & Industry Review Commission, et al.

“Petitioners’ theory ultimately leads to an all-or-nothing rule, exempt all religious groups or none.” Isn’t that the point? Should the State of Wisconsin discriminate for one religious group and against another? Isn’t that a violation 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

While the arguments before the court have focused on the First Amendment (erroneously I believe), the real problem is the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause. The State of Wisconsin is applying the phrase “religious purpose” differently based on how an organization exercises their religion.

Chief Justice Roberts asked Mr. Roth question that I think points to the problem.

CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: What is the simplest thing that the Catholic Charities would have to do to qualify for the religious exemption in Wisconsin?

1. ROTH: I think —

CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: Would they — should they have one sign in the dining hall saying: This meal provided by Catholic Charities. If you want to find out about the church, here’s a brochure?

1. ROTH: No, Your Honor. I think what we’re looking for is precisely what this Court looks for in — in adjudicating the ministerial exception. We’re looking for activities that express and inculcate religious doctrine: worship, proselytization, religious education.

And it’s precisely because it’s those activities that create the entangling problem in the state —

Catholic Charities Bureau, Inc., et al., v. Wisconsin Labor & Industry Review Commission, et al.

Except the state’s view of their entangling problem is so narrow and myopic, they cannot see beyond their desire to have as many workers as possible in their unemployment insurance system.

The core of the state supreme court’s decision was a motive alone is not enough to qualify for this exemption.

Catholic Charities here relied entirely on their motive. We think that affirming that core of the decision suffices to deny them the …

Catholic Charities Bureau, Inc., et al., v. Wisconsin Labor & Industry Review Commission, et al.

The question before the court is: Was the state supreme court wrong when they found that Catholic Charities was not religious enough for the exemption on their motive alone? Put another way, does your religious purpose end at worship, conversion, and education?

Justice Kavanaugh asked Mr. Roth why sincerity of one’s belief or why they engage in these activities shouldn’t be considered.

1. ROTH: Well, sincerity — I — so I took two hypotheticals given to the other side as examples of the edge cases that maybe we don’t want to be exempting here. One was the — the hospital and one was the vegan restaurant.

I think in both those cases, you’re not going to weed those out on sincerity grounds. The — there’s testimony in the record here — this is record 99 of the lower court record. The archbishop of Milwaukee testified that he oversees multiple Catholic hospitals in the Milwaukee area. And so, that’s clearly — they’re clearly operated for a religious motive. We would never dispute the sincerity of that religious motive. They’re going to be out. Seventh-Day Adventists similarly. It — maybe it’s commercial activity they’re engaging in —

JUSTICE KAVANAUGH: And they’re going to be out, why? Just explain that.

1. ROTH: They’re going to be out because when they run their vegan restaurants, what — again, what a —

JUSTICE KAVANAUGH: Is that a hospital — I think you were on the hospital one.

1. ROTH: Oh, the hospital?

JUSTICE KAVANAUGH: Yeah.

1. ROTH: Well, they’re — they’re out because what the hospital is saying if it’s supervised by the bishop, which is all this statute requires, the bishop will say the reason we run these hospitals is to serve — I mean, Christ healed the sick, and we’re doing the same. And so how can you tell us that that’s not a religious purpose?

They’ll be out, even though 99.9 percent of what goes on at that hospital is healthcare.

Catholic Charities Bureau, Inc., et al., v. Wisconsin Labor & Industry Review Commission, et al.

I think Mr. Roth blew up his argument right here. He states that, because a Bishop oversees Catholic Hospitals, they must have a religious purpose. What happened to worship, conversion, and education? In other words, because they are overseen by a Bishop, they have religious motives. What about another hospital that has the exact same motives, but their denomination does not have bishops?

Rebuttal Argument Of Eric C. Rassbach on Behalf of the Petitioners

As always, the attorney for the petitioners has the chance to rebut the other’s arguments.

You know, in — in the end, this is a religiously pluralistic society. And that calls for a generous approach to religious exemptions, not a stingy one. And, you know, Catholic Charities is an integral part of the Catholic Church. It’s carrying out the mission of the Catholic Church when it helps all people. And penalizing them for helping all people without proselytization cannot be reconciled with the pluralism of American society or the religion clauses.

We respectfully request that the Court reverse.

Catholic Charities Bureau, Inc., et al., v. Wisconsin Labor & Industry Review Commission, et al.

I think that’s a pretty sufficient summation of Catholic Charities’ position.

Conclusion

It seems quite obvious that the State of Wisconsin’s desire to have as many employees in their unemployment insurance system as possible is driving them to narrow the religious purpose exemption. They are so focused on the ministerial aspects of religious purpose, they ignored all the other possibilities.

Many years ago, it came to my attention that a missionary group our church supported had their website hacked, and was taken down by the group. Since I both had the skill and resources, I offered to build and host a website for them until they could get their system up and running again. Did I do that to proselytize? Was my purpose to educate? No. I simply saw a religious organization that needed help that I was in a position to provide. Was that a religious purpose?

Mr. Roth kept coming back to the idea was to minimize religious entanglement, to keep the state out of doctrinal debates. He seemed to forget that doctrinal debates may include more than simply worship, conversion, or education. What about the doctrinal debates around abortion, end of life care, helping the poor, etc? Is the state allowed to put a fence around certain activities and label them “religious purposes” without considering why the people engage in those activities?

Could it be that a nurse prefers working at a hospital run by Catholic Charities because she knows they will not ask her to perform procedures that would violate her religious beliefs? Can disaster relief, affordable housing, and providing food not be done for religious purposes, simply because secular organizations do so as well? There are atheist churches, that I assume also educate and proselytize. I’m sure it would surprise these anti-religious people that their organization functions for religious purposes.

As I pointed out, while the parties and judges in this case are examining a First Amendment violation, this cannot be one, simply for the reason that the law in question was not made by Congress.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

U.S. Constitution – Amendment I

This violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and Article I, Section 18 of the Wisconsin Constitution should not be allowed to stand.

or any preference be given by law to any religious establishments or modes of worship;

Wisconsin Constitution – Article I, Section 18

Beyond that, the fact that the Wisconsin Supreme Court ignored the very Constitution that created them should be of great concern to each and every citizen of that state. I hope they work to rectify this situation quickly.

A blonde air head on the business channel CNBC asked the CEO of the toymaker Mattel “Is Christmas at risk?” because of Trump’s tariffs on China. President Trump must rise above this nonsense and take charge of American foreign policy, defending his tariffs and his massive deportation plans. He is the elected president.

Is a happy Christmas dependent on cheap Chinese toys? Or is Christmas a celebration of the birth of Christ? It is worth wondering as the Vatican contemplates a new pope and Mother’s Day arrives on May 11. The Virgin Mary cradles the dead Christ in her arms in the famous marble sculpture The Pietà by Michelangelo. It is in Saint Peter’s Basilica, Vatican City, and is now surrounded by shatter-proof glass because a lunatic attacked it with a hammer.

The Vatican is itself surrounded by a wall.

Today’s lunatics with the Soros-funded Indivisible group have announced nationwide protests on June 14 “to deny Trump’s fascist birthday wish” and send him one message: “NO KINGS!”

King? President Trump is acting like the courts have defeated him.

I thought the Trump proposal to pay the foreign invaders to leave was a joke. Then I learned it was true. Then I found out that, if they get paid to leave, they have a chance to come back. This is the latest fiasco from the Trump Administration, as the president defers to his lawyers and prays for the Supreme Court to save him. It is no wonder the White House sent an image of Trump dressed up as the pope. This will not impress the courts. The only thing the judges understand is raw power, which Trump refuses to exercise.

The president, apparently aware he looks weak in the face of a foreign invasion, changed the subject, and proposed to reopen Alcatraz.  That could take years.

Trump has become a captive of his lawyers. It happened again in his May 4 interview with “Meet the Press.” Here are the relevant and pitiful exchanges:

KRISTEN WELKER:

And this is the point, sir, about due process. The Constitution says every person, citizens, and non-citizens, deserve due process. Why not push to have him come back, present all of that evidence in court, let a judge decide?

PRES. DONALD TRUMP:

Well, I’ll leave that to the lawyers, and I’ll leave that to the attorney general of the United States… I don’t know much about this gentleman [the foreign terrorist gang member] other than I hear he’s an absolute not good person. And I have very capable legal people, John Sauer, as you know, and all top people. And I have to rely on that to interpret whatever is said by the Supreme Court. Now with that being said, I have tremendous respect for the Supreme Court. Look, three of the people are people I appointed…And I have great respect for the Supreme Court. And I would expect that the attorney general will be doing the right thing.

While the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause applies to all “persons” within the United States, foreign nationals on American soil can be treated differently, according to America’s founding fathers.

Trump has invoked the Alien Enemies Act to send them out of the country because of the presidential finding that Biden’s open borders policy led to an invasion by enemy countries.  That law, passed during the time of America’s founding as a nation, permits summarily detaining and deporting civilians identified as enemy agents. It is up to the president, not the courts.

The liberal Brennan Center admits, “The last time the Alien Enemies Act was challenged, in Ludecke v. Watkins in 1948, the Supreme Court upheld President Harry S. Truman’s extended reliance on the law three years after the end of World War II.”

Truman was a Democrat.

The Alien Enemies Act allows the president to deport immigrants from enemy countries during a war, an attempted or threatened invasion, or a “predatory incursion” against U.S. territory. All of that is happening now.

But President Trump waits for his lawyers to win a case at the Supreme Court as the threat grows.

“Liberty is the Right to do what the Law permits.” Charles De Montesquieu

First, I would remind every American that our rights come from God (Read the Declaration of Independence and the Minnesota state preamble and look to Moses and the Ten Commandments above the Minnesota Supreme Court chambers) and not from the state’s generosity.

Secondly, those who represent “We the People” “derive their just powers from the consent of the governed.”

In other words, our representative “limited government” can do what is permitted only by the people (under God) through delegated authority, and they are to represent the people according to His Law (Exodus 20).

“The people’s safety is the Law of God.” -James Otis Jr.

This quote is also inscribed upon the walls of the State Capitol in Minnesota.

Remember that they put their hand on the Bible, swearing to uphold the enumerated laws found within, “So help me God.”

So, I ask, where are these that are now occupying the halls of the state capital deriving their delegated authority to attack their constituents and their God-given rights?

Friends, your said representatives are acting antithetical to our rights, for the Lord never gave the right to do what He forbids or condemns!

“No enactment of man can be considered law unless it conforms to the law of God.” – William Blackstone

What’s worse is that the “good guys” have now taken on their duties to merely highlight the crimes of those whom they refuse to impeach and prosecute (Article II, Section 4; Article I, Section 3, Clause 7 US Constitution).

Furthermore, as Daniel O’Connell rightly stated, “Nothing is politically right which is morally wrong.”  A lot of this is going on today.

It is now time to lay the burden of proof on the said representatives in asking where they are deriving their authority from because one thing is certain, it is not from “We the People.”

The creeping shadow of Islamization is spreading across America’s heartland, and Collin County, Texas, particularly Plano, is ground zero for this insidious takeover. The East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) and its proposed 402-acre “EPIC City” are not just community projects; they’re a blatant power grab, a fortress of Sharia law being erected in the Lone Star State. This isn’t about diversity or inclusion; it’s about domination, plain and simple. Texas, the land of liberty, is under siege, and the numbers don’t lie: Muslims and their mosques are multiplying, carving out enclaves where American values are trampled underfoot.

Plano, once a beacon of suburban prosperity, now harbors over 10,000 Muslims—a number that has ballooned over the past two decades. This isn’t a coincidence; it’s a calculated influx. The Islamic Association of Collin County (IACC), founded in 1981, claims to serve this swelling population, but it is more than a spiritual hub; it’s a command center for cultural erosion. Plano boasts five mosques, up from just one in 2001, each a stronghold for Islamic ideology. The IACC on Independence Parkway, the Islamic Society of North Texas, and the Islamic Association of North Texas on Custer Road are not just places of worship; they are nerve centers for a community increasingly segregating itself from the American way of life. Add to that the Islamic Center of Frisco, just across the county line, and you have a network of mosques tightening their grip on Collin County’s soul.

EPIC City is the crown jewel of this conquest. A 400-acre sprawl near Josephine, it’s designed to house 1,000 homes, a mosque, a K-12 Islamic school, and a community college – all centered around Islamic values. Don’t be fooled by the developers’ claims of “inclusivity.” This is a Muslim-only utopia, a no-go zone where Sharia reigns supreme. Governor Greg Abbott has sounded the alarm, declaring that this “compound” will never see the light of day, and he’s backed by a dozen state agencies and Attorney General Ken Paxton, who’s digging into EPIC’s shady dealings. The Texas Rangers are investigating potential criminal activities, and the Texas Workforce Commission is probing violations of the Fair Housing Act. EPIC’s funeral home, operating without a license, is just the tip of the iceberg. This isn’t a community; it’s a rogue state in the making.

The numbers tell a grim story. Collin County’s Muslim population is part of Texas’s eighth-largest Muslim community, with 420,000 Muslims statewide. Dallas-Fort Worth alone hosts 62 Sunni and five Shia mosques, with Plano’s five mosques forming a critical node in this network. The Islamic Association of Collin County claims to serve over 10,000 Muslims in Plano, but that’s likely a lowball figure. The rapid growth of mosques—four more since 2001—signals aggressive expansion. Each mosque isn’t just a building; it’s a symbol of conquest, a place where sermons promote submission over freedom, where American laws are sidelined for Quranic edicts.

Texans aren’t blind. In 2015, Plano residents stormed city council meetings to crush a proposed Sharia tribunal that threatened American law. In April 2025, Collin County locals flooded a commissioners’ court meeting, roaring defiance against EPIC City. They see through the lies of “diversity” and “harmony.” They see through the IACC’s fake “bridge-building” via open houses and interfaith talks. These are ploys to soften defenses while Islamic schools churn out kids loyal to Sharia over the Constitution. They know Sharia law, with its brutal punishments and suppression of free speech, has no place in Texas. Mayor John Muns’ cozy “Ramadan Day” at EPIC and backdoor deals with school boards to push Islamic values into classrooms are treasonous.

State Representative Jeff Leach and Senator John Cornyn are leading the charge, with Cornyn demanding a Department of Justice investigation into EPIC’s plans. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has already issued EPIC a cease-and-desist order for beginning construction without permits. The message is clear: Texas will not bow.

But the enemy is relentless. EPIC’s leaders, like resident scholar Yasir Qadhi, spin tales of a “well-integrated” community, but their actions betray their words. The mosque’s history of operating an illegal funeral home and its ties to Community Capital Partners, a for-profit entity under investigation for fraud, expose their true intent: to build an Islamic empire on Texas soil. Plano’s Mayor John B. Muns has been caught cozying up to EPIC, declaring “Ramadan Day” at the mosque and offering private access to school board officials to push Islamic values into public schools. This is betrayal, pure and simple.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. Mosques aren’t just houses of prayer but beachheads for a broader agenda. The mosque serves as a house where Muslim devotees gather for salat (prayer) and worship Allah and his messenger, the Prophet Muhammad. Aside from worshiping Allah, a mosque is used for various reasons. These meeting places are perfect warehouses of indoctrination and future terrorists, who are made to read and understand the principles of Jihad, martyrdom, and Dar ul Harb (“land of war”—any place not Islamized). Mosques cost money, and the money for these warehouses of intolerance comes straight from Saudi Arabia, the number one terrorist state in the world.

The Islamic Association of North Texas hosts “Muslim Day” celebrations, attracting outsiders to soften their defenses. Islamic schools in Plano churn out the next generation, indoctrinated to prioritize Sharia over the Constitution. Halal markets and businesses cater exclusively to Muslims, creating parallel economies that exclude the broader community. This isn’t integration – it’s colonization.

It is tragic that while our courageous service members are losing life and limb in far and away places fighting Islamofascism, useful idiots and servile politicians of the highest rank at home bend over backward to accommodate, even promote, Islamism.

Texas must hold the line. The investigations must crush EPIC’s ambitions. Residents must keep the pressure on, flooding public hearings and demanding accountability from leaders like Muns. Use the Second Amendment, and the spirit of the Alamo still burns bright in Texas. If EPIC City rises, it’s a death knell for American sovereignty in Collin County. Plano’s five mosques and 10,000 Muslims are already a warning shot. Let’s not wait for the next one. Fight now, or Texas falls.

Florida has a deadly problem, and too many are afraid to speak about it.

Radioactivity at dangerous levels has spread through the air, soil and water in significant parts of the state. This comes from phosphate mining, of which uranium and radium are byproducts. The decay of these produces radon. Per the USDA.

The dreaded disease, cancer is a byproduct of these.

The underlying cancer, possibly the most toxic of all, seems to be in the body politic. This, an observation from those who have been in the battle for years. It is this, which causes the problem to be whisked away under the rug of human greed for money and power.

Always those two, money and power. They are at the root of most of what is wrong with our world today. This is why my attitude towards people – especially politicians – is changing.

I am by nature a forgiving and understanding person; my family taught me well. I cannot forgive, however, those who ignore the death of land and the people who live on it. Still think Mom would be proud.

Yesterday, I posted the first in a series of articles on the toxicity of phosphate mining and the apparent lack of concern – even assistance – given the issue by Florida’s politicians. There were several responses which I’d like to highlight before I write more. Just more of what was to be expected I guess, when you try to herd a sacred cow.

One wrote that the toxicity might be an issue, but that I was to be harshly criticized because some of the data I’d quoted was out of date. He had other and better sources he said. He failed to see – or chose not to – that this first article was but a sampling of the problem; that there is as much conflicting information as the scientific community can come up with. Often, as we know, that, too, is false or purposely misleading. Another, just unsubscribed. I guess the truth hit, somewhere, too close for comfort.

I was sorely tempted to ask how long these folks had been with the government. But, I refrained.

Also, even though the issue has been researched and written about in various Florida news outlets and by universities for several decades, some are still afraid to touch it. Proves beyond the proverbial shadow, just how toxic is the subject in the Sunshine State today.

I am not telling you here anything that the victims and crusaders on radiation poisoning don’t already know, thousands of times over. They have suffered massively.

I just wanted you to know that this issue is something about which “they” do not want you to know. THEREFORE, I will help you to know, and share any and all information I can bring forth on the subject. “They” are not our friends.

The series on radiation toxicity will not be sequential; I will write of other things as I gather information.

Soon, I hope to address Florida’s power issues. There is much the same; state structural issues causing citizens to grossly overpay for grossly underperforming energy sources. I hope this will be one, probably longer, article. The energy truths are readily apparent, and again, the people must know to demand change – before their land and their pocketbooks are destroyed.

A new month always brings new promise. Thanks for being an earnest patriot, and continuing to dig for the truth.

On March 4, 1925, President Calvin Coolidge shared his thoughts with an assembled crowd of on-lookers attending his Inaugural Address. During his address, President Coolidge said,

“I favor the policy of economy (i.e., frugality), not because I wish to save money, but because I wish to save people.”

Before you step away thinking this guy was nothing but a street-corner preacher, let’s look at the economic strategy he was promoting. The president went on to state the obvious, noting,

“The men and women of this country who toil are the ones who bear the cost of the Government.”

Then he explained,

“Every dollar that we carelessly waste means that their life will be so much the more meager. Every dollar that we prudently save means that their life will be so much the more abundant.

“His summary was, “Economy is idealism in its most practical form.”

Now, this may be a stretch, but I’m hopeful that there’s a chance to move readers toward a clearer understanding of the importance of a virtuous stance on waste, abuse and fraud along with the issue of endless taxes.

In particular, Oregon’s single-party, Democrat-led, tax and spend monopoly needs to recognize the beauty of Coolidge’s philosophy.

Economic consistency is far more important than performative grand-standing against President Trump’s Administration.

Just look at the numbers.

While Gov. Kotek may be proud of net in-migration, this is happening at enormous economic harm because it is coming solely at the hands of Oregon’s Sanctuary State status and former President Biden’s broken border policy.

In general people are not staying or voluntarily moving into Oregon. Instead they are fleeing.

They are leaving because of Oregon’s punitive tax policies, increases in crime, the state’s cost of living, and escalating home prices. Meanwhile, employment and private sector opportunities continue to dry-up.

Public perception of Oregon also lies in shambles—scattered like the abandoned sleeping bags, worn tents, needles and fast-food litter that clutter nearly every street-corner in Portland.

The downward spiral of reduced demand and reduced investment leads to lost revenue for municipal, county and state governments. Those service sectors respond by further reducing output which increases frustrations and angst while hinting to families that, “maybe it’s time to look elsewhere.” It is a typical demand-destruction cycle that goes round and round.

Oregon is in a deadly feed-back loop that is very difficult to stop.
Now… just what does Oregon’s Legislature want to do? Well, they want to kill the golden taxpayer who funds the entire game.

This is sheer folly.

Here are a handful of the destructive ideas being considered:

What can you do?

First, don’t tax yourself into poverty because you think it might help. It doesn’t. Frugality is your friend.

Second, don’t approve local tax levies or new taxing districts out of fear that someone might call you a cheapskate. Remember, frugality is true compassion.

Lastly, call your City-council members, Commissioners, Representatives and Senators and share with them how proud you would feel if they were to exercise true, compassionate economy to save people, families and lives.

Abraham Lincoln is sitting at his desk, having signed the Emancipation Proclamation, when an Army General tells him it has been overturned by a judge with a court order.  That is one of the great cartoons from the pen of Gary Varvel, a genius at conveying essential truths. He captures in a cartoon the crisis our country would have been in if we had federal judges in power then like we have today.  That crisis would have been a failure to save the Republic after the Civil War and give the slaves their freedom.

Today, we are the slaves, hoping for freedom from the ruling elite called the Biden Administration that opened our borders to a foreign invasion by an assortment of aliens that not only broke our laws but murdered our people – our families, friends, and neighbors.

We are in a similar situation today as Lincoln was then, as federal judges constitute the new Confederacy, doing everything possible to defeat the central government, this time headed by President Donald J. Trump. We are in the midst of a life-and-death struggle to save the Republic from a foreign invasion engineered by the Biden administration.

The difference is that the court injunction depicted in the cartoon directed at Lincoln was a fiction and the court injunctions directed at Trump are proliferating and real and are having a very negative impact on his promise to reverse our slide into socialism and a foreign takeover.

That is because Trump is mistakenly accepting their jurisdiction over the foreign policy of the United States.

The solution is that Trump must fire his lawyers and act. He was elected as president and he cannot and should not depend on the Supreme Court to save him.

In one of my columns from 2023, “We Need Another Lincoln,” I wrote about the forces that were arrayed against him, after his surprise victory in 2016 and struggle to win again in 2020. I noted that communists had openly organized a rebellion, in the form of the George Floyd riots, in open violation of the Communist Control Act, a law that was still on the books but not enforced. Congress had abolished internal security panels while Big Tech platforms like YouTube were terminating the accounts of conservatives like myself, wiping out my 500 anti-communist videos. Under Biden, the economy was characterized by more federal spending, inflation, and debt, as well as the country being subjected to an invasion by foreigners.

That was because, in the election of 2020, Trump avoided being another Lincoln, leaving the door open for Joe Biden and his Obama-era personnel to take control.  Trump, after encouraging a “peaceful” protest of the election results on January 6, 2021, vacated the White House.

But now that Trump is back in the White House, he is making some of the same mistakes.

A newspaper ad published at the time by Tom Zawistowski, President of the TEA Party affiliated We the People Convention, had advocated executive actions by Trump to save his presidency that were like those implemented by President Abraham Lincoln in his efforts to save the Union during the Civil War. “In the months following the start of the Civil War,” said the Tea Party ad, “President Abraham Lincoln struggled to preserve the Union. Many objected to Lincoln’s extraordinary use of presidential authority, in particular his suspension of the right of Habeas Corpus.”

Habeas Corpus is related to due process. Lincoln identified the enemies of the Republic and had them arrested and detained. The difference between then and now is that Lincoln was going after Americans perceived to be sympathetic to the southern secessionists. Trump has promised to go after illegal non-citizens, making his legal case even more valid and legitimate. He is trying to preserve the Union that Lincoln saved.

At the time, in a message about the January 6 defendants, Trump said, “It’s the weaponization of the Department of Justice. Our country is going – not socialist, they’ve skipped over that – they skipped over socialism. Our country is going communist.”

Trump has had some revenge, with his victory in 2024, but the same anti-American forces have simply shifted their ground to the courts. And the same problem facing Lincoln is now facing him – can he save the Union?

Today, Trump has some control over the Department of Justice – but not the federal courts, and not even the “Republican” Supreme Court. The “weaponization” problem has been transferred from one branch to another.

If Trump in office cannot implement his policies, such as mass deportations, who is the president? And what is the purpose of having elections?

Trump, of course, has the same old problem – an obnoxious and far-left media, singing to the tune of the Democratic Party, the same political grouping opposed to Lincoln. Consider their treatment of the illegal alien invasion. They did not insist that the invaders follow the law when they crashed through our border. They were complicit in the invasion and covered for Biden’s dementia, among other cases of media malpractice.

In his interview with Terry Moran of ABC News, we saw this exchange when Moran insisted on “due process” for the illegal alien invaders:

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Did we give them a hearing when they [the illegal alien invaders] came in?

TERRY MORAN: Well, the law requires that every single person who is going to be deported gets a hearing first.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Well —

TERRY MORAN: Do you acknowledge that?

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I’ll — I’ll have to ask the lawyers about that. All I can say is this: If you’re gonna have 21 million people, and if we have to get a lot of ’em out because they’re criminals, we’re gonna have to act fast. We can’t — do you think we can give 21 million trials? Let’s say each trial takes two weeks. Is that what you want us to do —

With this exchange, we see Trump’s problem. He is relying on lawyers who do not understand his constitutional ability and obligation to stop a foreign invasion. They need to read the history books, especially about the Lincoln presidency.

Vice-president J.D. Vance had it right, telling Fox News, “The judge doesn’t decide if the Alien Enemies Act applies – the president does. If you tell the president he can’t deport illegal criminals, you’re saying he can’t be president. We reject that, and so will the Supreme Court.”

The first part of his response was correct. The second was wrong. Depending on the Supreme Court is the wrong way to proceed, even though they have ruled in favor of the law in the past.

In his proclamation, Trump said, “As President of the United States and Commander in Chief, it is my solemn duty to protect the American people from the devastating effects of this invasion.” He added that the alien enemies, “wherever found within any territory subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, are subject to summary apprehension” and therefore can be detained and expelled.

A congressional study noted that there was no opposition to the law and that “The absence of objection to the Alien Enemy Act by the same generation that drafted the Constitution has been held by the Supreme Court to provide evidence of both the Act’s constitutionality and the prevailing understanding of the legal principle underlying it — that is, the fundamentally different position held by aliens on the basis of their formal allegiance to a government with which the United States is at war.”

In the modern era, there are no declarations of war, only resolutions by Congress or declarations by the president about foreign threats. Trump has acted in accordance with his lawful emergency powers. He is trying to save Americans who have been targeted by these alien invaders. In effect, we are today’s slaves, living in fear because Biden opened the country to a hostile foreign takeover. We are the real Americans whose cherished system of law and order has been subverted by an enemy invasion. We are literally fighting for our lives and we elected Trump to stop the invasion.

The study reported, “A bill in the 119th Congress would repeal the Alien Enemy Act, H.R. 630/S. 193. This bill, the Neighbors Not Enemies Act, has been introduced in successive Congresses since the 116th Congress but has never been reported out of committee.”

In other words, the Congress has never repealed it. Every day Trump bows to the courts is another day we have lost to the invasion, possibly losing hundreds more of our citizens to mayhem, murder, and drug trafficking by the Mexican cartels working with the Chinese.

Trump and Vance apparently hope the Supreme Court will uphold what Trump is doing. But what if they reverse course? Then it is time for Trump to be Lincoln and challenge his enemies in Congress to impeach him.

It was just a matter of time after President Trump legitimately won the election last November before some member of the Democrat/Communist Party USA in Congress files Articles of Impeachment.  I knew it was coming. Anyone who followed the disgusting political lawfare war against Trump during his first term knew the cockroaches in Congress would try again if Trump was re-elected.

The first term round of lawsuits didn’t work out as planned:  Trump wins dismissal of emoluments court case that challenged legality of payments to his hotels by foreigners, July 10, 2019. Into the sh*t can.  But, never let it be said members of the Democrat/Communist Party USA ever give up no matter how many lawsuits they have to file; either members of Congress or some other zealots in the private sector who hate Donald Trump. He’s bringing their gravy train to a halt.

Yet another “citizen” group out there working to destroy their own lives and liberty while screeching about hurting or saving “our democracy”.  Some citizens group WHO DOESN’T EVEN KNOW OUR LEGAL FORM OF GOVERNMENT [1] barfed up a petition on the day President Trump was legally inaugurated!  Public Interest Group Calls for Immediate Impeachment Investigation Against President Trump, Jan. 20, 2025 – “Trump’s return to the White House poses an unprecedented threat to our democracy.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. (January 20, 2025) – Impeach Trump Again, a non-partisan campaign led by Free Speech For People, launched on Inauguration Day with a petition calling on the U.S. Congress to initiate an immediate impeachment investigation into Donald Trump’s violations of the Emoluments Clauses and into his unlawful, corrupt campaign practices.”

The emoluments Clauses? The real violator of that provision in the U.S. Constitution is Hildebeast Clinton.  Hillary Rodham Clinton:  Liar, Globalist Traitor, Mine, May 26, 2013[2] & Judge Flapdoodle Strikes Again, Mine, April 2018[3]

Which brings me to Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI), born in India became a citizen in 1988 and is the quintessential example expressed by Benjamin Franklin: “We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.”

The Detroit Free Press back in October 2023, exposed Thanedar’s membership in the Democratic Socialists of America.  Thanedar apparently has quit his membership over Palestine and Israel.  Official photo 2025, Thanedar is 70 years old.

However, in Thanedar’s case, it’s more like he had a successful frontal lobotomy a long time ago.  Just like the other maniac Rep. Jamie Raskin [D], Thanedar absolutely believes his hustle to “get Trump” will succeed:

April 28, 2025: Congressman Shri Thanedar Introduces Articles of Impeachment Against President Donald J. Trump for High Crimes and Misdemeanors

Washington, DC – “Today, Congressman Shri Thanedar (MI-13) introduced articles of impeachment against Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, citing a sweeping abuse of power, flagrant violations of the Constitution, and acts of tyranny that undermine American democracy and threaten the rule of law.

“Donald Trump has repeatedly demonstrated that he is unfit to serve as President and represents a clear and present danger to our nation’s constitution and our democracy,” said Rep. Thanedar. “His unlawful actions have subverted the justice system, violated the separation of powers, and placed personal power and self-interest above public service. We cannot wait for more damage to be done. Congress must act.”  Rest at link -brain dead Shri lists Trump’s alleged crimes.

To say the very wealthy Thanedar’s articles of impeachment filing has gone over like rancid meat outside in Arizona summer heat is putting it mildly. Memes galore and postings on X; this one is my favorite.  Another one of Satan’s pimps and a sociopath:  The Dem Who’s Leading the Impeachment Charge Against Trump Is a Trainwreck, April 30, 2025 – embedded: “This guy owned a pharmaceutical testing lab. In 2010 he went bankrupt, locked the doors and left all the puppies and monkeys he was testing inside to die.”  Reference made to this: Humane Society Legislative Fund Condemns Candidate Shri Thanedar’s Alleged Neglect of Animals, May 4, 2018:  “The animals’ caretakers had reportedly climbed fences to provide food and water until more solid arrangements were made.”—USA Today: Pet Talk: Rescuing 118 test-lab beagles is a labor of dog love.

“About 170 dogs and monkeys were rescued in 2010 from an abandoned pharmaceutical testing lab owned by Shri Thanedar, a Michigan Democratic gubernatorial candidate currently leading in the polls.”—Huffpost: Over 100 Dogs And Monkeys Were Rescued From Michigan Democrat’s Shuttered Company

“A top Democratic contender in the Michigan governor’s race fought to sell off more than 100 animals at a shuttered pharmaceutical testing facility he owned, court records show, contradicting his account of events that culminated in the neglected animals’ rescue.”—Huffpost: Michigan Gov. Candidate Delayed Rescue Of Animals He Claims He Tried To Save”

Who voted for that POS to serve in Congress? Does he really believe filing articles of impeachment against President Trump is going to succeed?  I have no doubt and although (thank God) lobotomies are a thing of the past, this Thanedar cretin acts like someone who had a successful frontal lobotomy. One can only hope (altho’ election fraud is a big factor in Michigan as well as MN, CA, AZ, GA, PA) come 2026 his arse is voted out in their primary.  I wouldn’t hold my breath because despite his animal cruelty, Thanedar was elected to Congress in 2023 by voters who apparently approved of his sickening cruelty towards helpless animals. Bless those out there who helped save those abused animals.

Just like President Trump’s first term, here come the high paid lawyer’s forum shopping for judges who hate Trump and lawsuits galore over deporting ILLEGAL aliens no matter how many vicious crimes they are guilty of.  All the screeching and bellowing about due process even though ICE not only has detainers but deportation orders for the human garbage we’re trying to get rid of and out of OUR country.

Due process?  They aren’t citizens and have no right to be on U.S. soil, period.  Millions have scammed the asylum privilege; 93% are thrown out.

Did we see this massive push back when liar and illegitimate president Hussein Obama deported 3 MILLION illegals? No and yes he did during his illegal presidency.  Where was AOC yelling and screaming over deporting those poor “undocumented” illegals?  She could give a damn about how many women are raped, killed or robbed by illegals. This happens EVERY DAY and has been happening everyday in this country for decades when it could have been stopped in 1993.  Did we see all this madness when Eisenhower rounded up and deported about 1.3 MILLION ILLEGALS? No. (VIRAL Video Shows Actress Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Auditioned for Congress, March 12, 2019).

But if you cross that line into impede or knowingly harbor or conceal an illegal alien that is a felony, and we will treat it as such.”

“After Homan’s comment, Evers released an extraordinary video. “Yesterday, a top Trump Administration official made an apparent threat to arrest me,” he wrote on X, sharing the video below:” Rest at link.  And, hey Tony – I’ll be happy to buy the hand cuffs.

Judges Who Break Federal Law Can And Should Be Prosecuted, May 2, 2025

Just a small number of examples of how judges whether they be lower level in a state or a federal judge are supporting lawlessness and protecting those who have invaded – YES INVADED OUR COUNTRY – along with the most vicious gang members from countries like Venezuela and El Salvador.  They’re beyond deranged but one thing for sure: Get them off the bench if elected in a state or:

18 states allow recall from governor down to city councils.  I did it here in my city six years ago. I filed the paperwork to recall my city council woman and due to the great job by several individuals, enough signatures were turned in as valid and she was voted out of office.  Of course, the retaliation against me as the instigator by certain individuals wasn’t pleasant but our district then elected the best city council man you could ask for so it was worth it.  It’s We the People who will save this country but only if enough of us fight back and don’t back down.

Here’s the link which lists all the states, who, how, etc. for recalls. Sometimes a recall isn’t successful but it generally ruins the rotten elected public servant’s political future.  My fellow Americans:  We have that tool, use it.  If your state doesn’t have recall, maybe with enough signatures you can get it on the ballot for citizens in your state.

As for these federal judges:  They are completely out of control. Call them miscreants, Trump haters, political party hacks, whatever, but the bottom line is it’s a jurisdiction and constitutional issue and We the People need to ACT NOW or this crusade by federal judges to continue protecting ILLEGAL ALIENS who are robbing, raping, killing, committing other crimes, stealing jobs and getting paid cash under the table, collapsing our health care system and cheating American children because schools are drowning in illegal aliens will not stop. Kissed and blessed by trash like AOC and the Democrat Party in Congress.

House passes bill that seeks to rein in ‘rogue’ judges, limit district court authority – The legislation, titled the No Rogue Rulings Act, passed in a 218-214 vote along party lines. One Democrat did not vote.  April 9, 2025 – “The House on Wednesday night passed a bill that seeks to rein in “rogue” district court judges, and limit their authority.

“The legislation, titled the No Rogue Rulings Act, passed by a 218-214 vote along party lines. One Democrat did not vote because of a medical issue.

“The No Rogue Rulings Act would prevent a U.S. district court from issuing any “order providing for injunctive relief, except in the case of such an order that is applicable only to limit the actions of a party to the case before such district court with respect to the party seeking injunctive relief from such district court.”

“It comes after Republican lawmakers called for liberal “rogue” justices to stop issuing nationwide injunctions, which has drastically impacted President Donald Trump’s agenda.” Read:  House Passes Issa Legislation to Stop Activist Judges and Their Rogue Rulings

The House passed the bill weeks ago so why hasn’t the Senate voted yes so it can get to President Trump to sign into law? WHY?

Congress.gov:

Latest: Senate – 04/10/2025 Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred
Action: to the Committee on the Judiciary. (All Actions)

Yes, the DemonRATS can hold this up because their rules are different from the House but we have beaten down Democrats many times in the Senate when the GOP held a majority.  Why?  Because enough voters flooded their offices and we need tens of thousands to do the same if it comes down to that in the Senate to get that Act passed.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I HAVE BEEN POUNDING ON THE FRAUDULENT RATIFICATION OF THE SEVENTEENTH AMENDMENT for over two decades.  It has to be abolished just like prohibition.  How’s The Seventeenth Amendment Working Out for You? Mine, April 14, 2013: “James Madison, known as the Father of the Constitution wrote: “The Senate will be elected absolutely and exclusively by the State legislatures.” John Jay, co-author of The Federalist Papers is quoted: “Jay then informed Governor Clinton that, unlike the Senate, where the two-thirds rule was in force for treaties and impeachment, the lower house had nothing to do with treaties; it represented the people whereas the senate represented the states – for the Federalists always a significant distinction.”

“’The U.S. House of Representatives was to be the legislative body for the people. Each district within the states of the Union would elect an individual to Congress (Art. I, Sec. II) who would represent them under Art. 1, Sec. 8 of the U.S. Constitution. The framers were adamant that the states remain sovereign entities and have equal representation in Congress. Thus, the U.S. Senate would be comprised of two senators from each state. (Art. I, Sec. III)

“Those senators would be elected by their state legislature to go to Washington, DC to represent the interests of the state, not the people. If they didn’t, the state could recall them, fire them and hire someone new. The Senate confirms federal judges and supreme court justices. The Senate must advise and consent to ratification of treaties that have been negotiated and agreed to by the President — Art. II, Section II, U.S. Constitution.”

He who yells the loudest gets the most attention so get on the phone or email your senator as many times as possible until they bring No Rogue Rulings Act to a damn vote so Trump can sign it into law. Otherwise, this obscene situation with judges will continue to grow with more of what we’ve seen to stop Trump.  And today, tomorrow and the next day and the next day more Americans will be murdered, killed by drunk drivers here illegally; illegals will continue to rape children, young girls, keep building their vicious gangs and laughing in our faces. Is that what YOU want?

By Frosty Wooldridge

May 5, 2025

Over the weekend, a major network reported on skyrocketing teenager suicides, lack of self-worth, and a general sense of malaise for millions of high school students across America.

A mind-numbing: “10,000 teens commit suicide each year. Over the past 25 years the rate of teen suicide has increased 300 percent. Suicide attempts occur more often in females than in males, the ratio is 9:1. Girls who attempt suicide tend to overdose on drugs or cut themselves.” (Source: www.smith.edu)

“In the United States, Drug Overdoses Are The Third Leading Cause of Death in Adolescents in 2022. From 2019 to 2022, the rate of fatal drug overdoses among U.S. adolescents (age 13-17) more than doubled.”

Researchers estimate that from 2006 to 2016, the total amount of money spent by Americans on these four drugs fluctuated between $120 billion and $145 billion each year. By contrast, a different analysis finds that spending on alcohol in the U.S. was estimated to be $158 billion in 2017. Those drugs are: fentanyl, heroin, Methamphetamines, cocaine. In other words, millions of people chose mind-altering states of being that were addictive and detrimental to their minds.

Those drugs and those figures accelerated during 2021 through 2024, during the Biden open borders tenure. The drug cartels enjoyed an open season for drug distribution to our youths.

The United States has the highest rate of drug overdose deaths out of 30 countries, according to a report from the health nonprofit the Commonwealth Fund. March 17, 2025.

Without a doubt, parents, teachers and leaders face troubling times in 2025. Every time you turn around, another school shooting blazes across the evening news. A majority of American students cannot read at their grade level. Some nut cases drive their cars down crowded streets to kill a dozen people.

Over the weekend, a minority teen, after committing a robbery, attempted to allude the police instead of staying in his car. The police shot him. The next day, his father ran down and killed a police officer directing traffic for vengeance.

A 19 year old teenager attempted to kill President Donald J. Trump by firing from a rooftop with a high-powered rifle equipped with a scope.

You could name another dozen violent incidences in your state, especially if you live in a big city.

What’s causing America’s moral, ethical and spiritual decline?

Are the ubiquitous violent video arcades in every city, and available for any kid’s computer to blame? Are the never-ending stream of violent movies to blame? What about the dozens of TV cop programs where all you see are guns drawn and firing? Is it the 50 percent divorce rates in America? Is it the mind-altering cell phones kids are addicted to 4 to 8 hours a day? Is it the lack of discipline by parents or schools that generates a loss of a sense of personal accountability or personal responsibility for one’s actions?

Whatever the reasons for unending youthful turmoil in 2025, we adults need to gather together to discover the root causes of SO MUCH youthful anger, pain, loneliness, poor educational achievement, teen pregnancies, and violence.

As a retired educator, and a person who arrived on this planet with a good mother and father, I think we need to provide “Marriage Classes” for couples contemplating a life together. They need to discover if they are fundamentally compatible as to: personality compatibility, sexual compatibility, religious compatibility, interests compatibility, financial compatibility, educational compatibility, spending compatibility, and several other aspects that lead to a healthy lifelong relationship.

Next, we need all couples to pass a “Parenting Class” in order to discover the best methods for parenting children. Another course is, “Love and Logic” as to rearing teenagers. Everybody needs a peaceful and civil upbringing.

Meeting in September and getting married in June doesn’t allow either spouse to discover if he or she enjoys longterm compatibility. From this educator’s experiences, your kids deserve to have you both together during all of their formative years. A divorce destroys a child’s sense of trust, being loved, structure, security and emotional makeup. One of the best books on how to enjoy a happy marriage is: Are You The One For Me? by Barbara DeAngelis. It will tell you whether or not you stand a chance at a successful marriage. For men and women, How To Deal With 21st Century American Women—Co-Creating A Successful Relationship by Frosty Wooldridge. If couples would read those two books, marriage success rates would jump to 80 percent.

While you might want to delve into how to make America’s youth emotionally and spiritually healthier, it gets down to what I call, “Self-worth and self-confidence are my two greatest possessions.”

As a teenager, my father and mother instilled in my brothers, sister and me, a sense of “HIGH SELF-ESTEEM.” Whenever I faced a rough patch at school or sports, my dad would put his arm around my shoulder, “Son, if anyone can succeed at that task, YOU can do that! I’ve got faith in you.” He gave me a sense of solid self-worth and self-confidence that remains in my heart, mind and soul to this day.

When we were kids, if we hurt ourselves, my mother would pick us up, hold us, and make sure we felt safe and secure in her love and caring. Her sense of security has remained with me all my life.

While these times in 2025 appear to be more chaotic and more violent along with being more confused, when a child has a sense of high self-esteem, self-worth and self-confidence—that child will pave his or her way toward life and all its challenges.

“Children need love, especially when they do not deserve it.” —Harold Hulburt. “I may not be able to give my kids everything they want, but I give them what they need: love, time, and attention. You can’t buy those things.” —Nishan Panwar

“One of the most important things parents can do is to tell your children true, positive statements that they can repeat to themselves. For example: Your smile makes me happy. You are an interesting person who is going to do great things.”

“Understanding yourself is the cornerstone of emotional maturity.” “Maturity is not measured by age, but by the acceptance of responsibility.” “Letting go of grievances is a hallmark of emotional maturity.” “Maturity is understanding that not every action requires a reaction.”

Sometimes, in the pursuit of knowledge to achieve a desired outcome, dubious means are used that result in catastrophic consequences, requiring extraordinary effort to bring about recovery. Such was the case in the 2007 American post-apocalyptic movie I Am Legend.

The film starts in 2009 when British scientist Alice Krippin used a genetically manipulated measles virus to create a cancer vaccine. Though the vaccine cured cancer, insufficient long-term research to uncover any possible damaging side effects was done before releasing it to the public. Unfortunately, those injected with the vaccine eventually developed a lethal pathogen that infected and killed more than 90% of the Earth’s population. The infected who did not die were transformed into mutated humans who, among other things, were extremely vulnerable to sunlight, whose ultraviolet radiation was fatal to them after a moment of exposure. They could only move about at night, where they would prey upon the remaining 1% of human survivors who were naturally immune to the virus.

In a deserted New York City gradually being overtaken by nature, U.S. Army virologist Robert Neville has spent the last three years doing research to find a cure for the virus and searching for food and supplies. He is naturally immune from the disease, and he avoids being killed by the infected by coming out during the day and hiding from them in a heavily fortified house at night when they roam the streets.

As he continues his research in the basement laboratory, Neville discovers a cure for the plague from his own blood. He sends out continuous radio broadcasts telling any survivors to meet him at noon at the South Street Seaport, where he checks each day hoping to find that someone has responded. Eventually, a woman named Anna and a young boy named Ethan arrive. They traveled from Maryland when they heard Neville’s broadcast. Anna tells Neville that they are making their way to a survivors’ colony in Bethel, Vermont.

As his guests returned with Neville to his house, a group of infected people managed to track them and discovered their hiding place. They attacked and invaded the house that night. Neville, Anna, and Ethan retreated to the basement laboratory in which they sealed themselves.

Disregarding Neville’s pleas to let him heal and save them, the infected mob broke through the plexiglass door in order to kill him. He gave a vial of blood with the cure to Anna and shut her and Ethan into a coal chute at the back of the laboratory. To buy time for their escape, Neville sacrificed himself by blowing up the laboratory and the attackers with a grenade.

The next day, Anna and Ethan leave New York City and travel to the colony in Bethel, where they are welcomed by military officers and other survivors. She gives the vial of blood to them. As the film fades, she narrates how Neville’s successful efforts to find a cure for the plague and the sacrifice of his life to preserve it led to the redemption of humanity from the brink of extinction. The light he brought out of darkness became legend.

At a press conference on January 21, 2025, President Donald Trump announced the launching of Stargate LLC, a joint venture of OpenAI, SoftBank, Oracle, and the Emirati investment firm MGX. Its purpose is to invest up to $500 billion over four years to build artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure in the United States.

Among those present at the press conference was Larry Ellison, executive chairman and co-founder of Oracle. Similar to the confident enthusiasm Alice Krippin showed for her cancer vaccine in I Am Legend, Ellison excitedly stated that one of the projects of Stargate would be the development of AI-facilitated early cancer detection and the production of specific mRNA cancer vaccines that could be designed in about 48 hours.

In spite of efforts by technocrats such as Ellison to foster the impression that AI is virtually infallible, the truth of the matter is that it is only as good as the fallible and biased human beings who program it. The passage of several years since the introduction of mRNA injections has not shown them to be safe, effective, and a groundbreaking achievement in disease prevention and treatment as advertised. They have been hazardous to many who have received them and been involved in millions of serious injuries and deaths worldwide (e.g., blood clots, strokes, rapid heart disease, turbo cancer, etc.). AI with these genetic code infusions could prove to be a lethal combination.

Some state and regional authorities, concerned about the dangers of mRNA injections, have pushed back against federal recommendations. For example, Kentucky, Montana, and Idaho have led efforts to place moratoriums on the use of them. Idaho’s Southwest District Health Department, covering six counties, has gone as far as prohibiting the use of these injections, recognizing from observational data that they are far more harmful than beneficial. As local and state-level resistance spreads, Stargate may find it difficult at best to sell the idea that it will develop a miracle cure for cancer using questionable AI and dangerous mRNA technology.

In the Garden of Eden, Eve was deceived by the lies of the serpent (the devil) into rebelling against God by eating of the forbidden fruit. She desired to gain hidden knowledge to achieve a certain outcome, namely, to be like God and be able to determine good and evil apart from Him (Genesis 3). Adam was not deceived by the serpent but also decided to rebel against God along with his wife, thus separating humanity from fellowship with God and bringing the virulent plague of sin and death into the world on all people (Romans 5:12-21).

God did not leave Adam and us, his descendants, without hope (Genesis 3:15). He sent His Son Jesus as a man, God in the flesh, immune from sin, to pay in full our sin debt and reconcile sinners back to God (John 1:1-14, 14:30; Galatians 4:4-5). He lived the perfect life we could not live and proclaimed the gospel during His three-year earthly ministry. At the end, He provided the only cure for the virus of sin. Jesus willingly humbled Himself and sacrificed His life by shedding His blood on the cross to pay in full the penalty of sin, bringing healing redemption and reconciliation with God for anyone who trusts in Him (Philippians 2:6-11).

Jesus is the Light of life who redeems us out of our darkness and grants eternal life (John 1:1-5). Rather than being a legend, His real victory over the grave demonstrates that all who believe in Him will also rise from the dead when He returns and experience the perpetual joy of redemption, complete healing, freedom from sin, and unbroken fellowship with God.

“In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace” (Ephesians 1:7).

In a recent message, I explained the concept of men being servant leaders in their homes, and to their wives.  I explained how most modern marriages are set up for failure right from the start, when both partners expect to give 50% of their effort toward the relationship.  A 50-50 situation is most common today, as wives expect their husbands to contribute half of everything and the husband expects the wife to contribute the other half.

By our human reasoning, this sounds like the ideal situation, but as I explained previously, when each partner contributes 50%, that means that each person fails, and I used the analogy of getting a 50% grade on a test in school.  If you get 50% on a test, you fail.  In marriage, 50% also equals failure, and not just the failure of one, but the failure of both partners, and then the failure of the marriage itself.

If you’ve heard of “STEM” (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) or STEAM (the “A” stands for Arts) or even STREAM (the “R” stands for reading/writing); you may NOT know that there’s a new acronym around called “STEAMA”. Now, depending on where you live in the US (and this can be found repeated internationally), the “A” may stand for agriculture OR athletics.  However, what STEAMA stands for, both agriculture and athletics?!

What does this mean? Is there a code to these acronyms? How does this connect to taking farmland away? All these questions, and others will be answered.

STEM’s roots:

These can be traced to the United Nations and their connection to the NSF (National Science Foundation). STEM was the marketing tool to insert into education about the time that Common Core State Standards arrived in our schools. This was a purposed move by the unity between the United States and the United Nations. How did this happen? Simple:  a 2004 agreement between UNESCO (the education and culture arm of the UN) and Bill Gates was entered into to create a global curriculum for the entire world. Curriculum means testing, so when Bill Gates stated that school assessments would drive curriculum, he wasn’t lying, he was telling us the plan.

STEM was purposefully attached to Common Core in the hopes the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) would be further embedded in our nations. For the USA, a report given to the former President was from the PCAST group. What’s PCAST? It’s an acronym for President’s Council of Advisors for Science and Technology. Along with the Nation’s Report Card, the PCAST Report was the second document he was handed. If you know the education timeline, like I do, you know that those 2 reports were key to seeing the ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act) become the law of the land. Other nations have inserted STEM and all its other aliases in different ways, but the agenda is the same.

Create a STEM education for a STEM people with STEM jobs in a STEM nation for the greater global good. This agenda was spelled out in that PCAST Report. [1]

By now you may be rolling your eyes. I don’t blame you. I’ve heard the arguments before: “We need science, technology and engineering. We have math. These aren’t BAD!” I agree to a point, yes, we have had science and math for centuries. We’ve also seen engineering for as long as we’ve had science and math. Technology, in its present form, is fairly new. However, where the problem is, is you’ve been sold an acronym that’s full of agenda and contains very LITTLE true science or math. The technology and engineering portions are also not very worthy. It’s because, once again, education has become work/skill based, not academically equipped! If this isn’t enough, consider that STEM is forcing students of all ages to be aligned to Common Core Standards/Career Tech Education! STEM also aligns to regionalism. The UN loves regionalism. Regionalism was also embedded in ESSA for assessing students.[2]

If you missed the former APC articles I wrote exposing our schools/towns and other organizations aligning our cultures to the SDGs, be sure to read how color psychology is used against us.[3] If you missed the grooming our local citizens to accept the SDGs in a Smart City format, be sure to read it![4]

Meet STEAMA for agriculture:

Now that you know a brief bit of the roots of STEM (and let’s not forget that the UN is rooted in secular humanism and satanic leanings), let’s fast forward to the latest version. I’ll start with the agriculture angle. I live in North Carolina. NC has a huge agriculture footprint, but it’s shrinking daily. More and more farms are giving up on agriculture and renting good farmland out to solar panels. I know NC is not exclusive in this. Back in 2024, NC was ranked 2nd in the nation for most farmland threatened by solar panels.[5] Across the world, there’s growing concern for millions of farmland acres lost to solar panels.[6]

You may already know about solar panels, however, STEAMA is being used by one school district in the region of NC where farming is a lifeline. Somehow ‘coding’ (which is writing computer programming and is being taught to create cyber snooping) can better agriculture. Don’t gloss over the fact that this district is beginning the indoctrination by 2nd grade! Don’t miss the superintendent gloating how globally ready the students will become![7]

In PA, STEAMA is being introduced at a very young age. When you read the website, it all sounds so innocent, too. SEL or Social Emotional Learning is a huge part of STEM/STEAM/STREAM/STEAMA. How? It teaches students (all ages) what to think, not how. So when you see ‘critical thinking’ don’t be fooled. Classic critical thinking isn’t applicable to young children, it’s too complicated. That’s why education reserved it for high school.[8] If you’d like more information on how SEL further frustrates students, be sure to read my archived article on the topic.[9]

Meet STEAMA for Athletics:

Interestingly enough, I found this form in FL.[10] It’s from the description of the game portion of STEAMA that mental health is a priority from a comprehensive aspect. My friends, mental health is very important, but when you factor in the over prescribing of psychotropic drugs on young people, the high stakes tests and assessments used to label students with disorders that they may or may not truly have is alarming. Factor in that the schools, due to the funding they receive and the ESSA mandates for healthy students, this means that organizations outside of the school are overreaching into the schools. Especially in a community wide accessible form!

STEM, Tiger Woods Foundation and US Dept. of Defense:

Many famous people, including Mr.Woods, have thrown their support behind the UN & SDGs, even if they don’t realize it. While the Foundation[11] is doing great work to reach many students, it is concerning what is involved. Do we really need more of our society to embrace globalization?! You might be asking yourself how is the US Dept of Defense involved with a sports icon and his foundation. Well, it’s easy, the US Dept of Defense has its own STEM Ambassador Program. [12]

On to Massachusetts!

We all are aware of what a SMART City is supposed to look like, but what about a STEAM City? Americans, we have one! Cambridge, MA has united the entire town to become one. Why Cambridge? Well, according to the website this joint project[13]    ¹³ (combines education, healthcare and the public library) to bring about a city-wide mindset based in STEAM. Cambridge bragged on itself about being a ‘cutting edge biotechnology’ city. The mindset involved contains 6 aspects. I’m not going to use the flashy-gives-me-good-vibes labels used on the website. I’m giving you the agenda behind the flashes.

#1: data collection (code for ‘observe’)
#2: use technology for ‘your’ purposes (code for ‘develop craft’)
#3: collectivism (code for ‘reflect’)
#4: collaborate (code for ‘engage’)
#5: be a good follower (code for ‘express’)
#6: test, test and test again (code for ‘explore’)

Land Grab Bag:

Would you be okay with teaching children about land grabbing? Obviously, many don’t see an issue. However, we’ve seen education as a tool to teach that many previously unaccepted agendas are now ‘cool’. Why not get them used to seeing something that’s not theirs being taken away to give to a system which cares more about its alignment and revenues than protecting people? One such game exists[14] (technology with SDG #1 or Zero Poverty) is using the slums of Mumbai as a way to ‘land grab’. This will also loosely tie to SDG #15 (Life on Land). This article discussed ‘global’ land rights.[15]

From the US, an article about the ‘green grab’ of farmland.[16]

The global initiative to “learn STEM” is all encompassing.[17] The acronym spells GIRLS, but it’s not about women it’s about the global reach for a STEM existence.

This STEAMA is directly tied to AI (Artificial Intelligence) and calls it ‘an outcome-based art’.[18]

Using STEM/STEAM/STREAM/STEAMA to attach to gender equality and land values as a way to continue to harp on SDG #5 (Gender Equality).[19]

Regardless of what type of science this is based on, it brings up an excellent question: “Are the SDGs doing more harm to our lands than the Goals promote?”[20]

Make NO Mistake:

My friends, as I write this I’m aware of how STEM and all its other names is tying to CRISPR technology to be a human (literal) game changer for our bodies. We cannot simply read this, sigh, shake our fists in the air and do nothing. We MUST expose this. I’m leaving you with my entire catalog of archived research to help you learn and share the moves being made right under our noses.[21]

Homogenization of milk was introduced in America in the 1930s, and even earlier in France in 1899.  Milk in its natural form has fat globules that rise to the top of the milk product, known as cream and from where we also get buttermilk and butter itself.  The process of homogenization breaks down the fat globules into much smaller particles to prevent them from rising to the top and making cream, in essence making the milk of even and equal particles.

It is increasingly difficult to find information counter-narrative, or counter-government approved, (think Ministry of Truth), so to find how homogenized milk may be less than ideal for the human body is a lesson in patience and diligence.  You must search long and hard and sidestep the incessant propaganda of how much better it must be for your body because it breaks down the fat globules which obviously (duh!) make it easier for the body to digest and helps alleviate lactose intolerance.  (Even AI will tell you that, and everyone knows AI is the ultimate truth teller -wink, wink.)

Somehow the millennia of humanity before modern times made it through history on non-homogenized milk without notable injury, but modern times necessitate modern behaviors.  If you look long and hard at the non-chemical process of homogenization, the unnatural breakdown of fat globules (that millennia had been consuming up until just over a century ago) is a process that makes the fat and protein globules much smaller, improving the texture for commercialization.  But it also changes the protein structure of the molecules, bypassing the digestive systems filter process.

One more paragraph on this, but this paper is not about milk…

Breaking down the protein structures of milk through homogenization creates an inability for the body’s normal filtration system for foreign invaders to miss anything that may need filtered out, like hormones, steroids (if the cow had them), and proteins that are damaging to the human system.  Before homogenization, the digestive system was able to recognize possible damaging foreign substances as well as undigested proteins, but after homogenization the body allows them through, ultimately leading to possible health difficulties, including lactose intolerance.  To date, I have not known a single person who was lactose intolerant who had trouble drinking raw milk, but you won’t find much information on that through normal information channels.  [example one, example two]

Basically, the homogenization process changes the identity of milk and the milk markers that make it uniquely milk.  The land flowing with “milk and honey” has been redefined, so to speak.  (Don’t even start me on pasteurization.)  The commercialization of the food industry has created a host of ills against the human body for the benefit of the beast system, and humanity is the worse for it.  But hey, milk is smoother this way, right?

My husband and I recently watched A Taste of Ireland, a touring group that shares the history and identity of Ireland to anyone interested through the art of song and dance.  We even visited Ireland last year, drove their back roads and talked to some locals.  We fell in love with the country. Their songs aren’t like ours; their dances aren’t like ours; and their history is not like ours.

That’s why it’s interesting to us.  That’s why we want to go see it and learn about it.

And yet today, in this world, there is an aggressive agenda to homogenize cultures and people and nations.  The World Economic Forum and its diabolical mouthpieces have endeavored to flood individual nations with cultures and peoples from other nations, at the costly and eventual deadly consequence of individualism, culture, tradition and identity.  It is the ultimate globalist agenda.

It has been deemed racist to have any defense of a homeland population, not just in America, but everywhere.  The puppet masters flooded the European nations with migrants in their great experiment, after buying out or threatening their government leaders into acquiescing to the plan.  Now the streets of London, Dublin, Paris and Berlin look like a completely different demographic than UK, Ireland, France and Germany.  Homogenized.

But the globules being broken down to slip through the filtration system are going to cause some problems to the body overall.

Now Texas has a community of Muslims who don’t want Americans in it, and don’t want to follow American laws (EPIC in Plano) and a community of illegal migrants run by gangs (Colony Ridge outside of Houston).  Amarillo has a community of Somalians who do not care to follow American laws or health practices.  Dearborn, Michigan is considered an American Mecca.  These are just off the top of my head.

What happened to the identity of a nation?  Or is it just the white, historically-precedented Christian nations that need homogenized?  In the UK (a historically white, Christian nation) they are trying to pass laws to make it illegal to walk your dogs outside because the Muslims find dogs offensive.  And yet an identifying marker of the UK and other white (formerly) Christian nations is a love for dogs and pets.

I have a friend in Idaho who has been attacked by Muslims for walking her dogs in a public park.

Truly the world’s handlers do not want individual nations with individual identities.  And they most definitely do not want white Christian identities, regardless of the history and precedence of a geography.

The body’s digestive system’s filter is designed to pull out and eliminate from the human body, anything trying to enter that is foreign and will not properly digest for the health of the body.  Homogenizing the milk bypasses the filter and allows foreign “threats”, so to speak, to enter the body and potentially cause havoc in other areas.  Proteins are not properly broken down, causing allergies and autoimmune difficulties to the body.  Steroids slip under the radar and into the bloodstream instead of isolated and evicted from the body.  But don’t worry, the texture is more palatable and marketable, so they say.

Democrats and media have made a show of trying to bring back a deported MS-13 criminal from the lawful process of removing threats to the safety of the American community.  They have spun the story with dramatic emotional appeals.  And it’s getting easier and easier to sell this nonsense to Americans.  Why?  Because America is losing its sense of identity.

If you don’t know that America was founded by the sacrifices of (mainly white) men and women who believed worshiping the God of the Bible was a fundamental right, and that it is a fundamental right to speak one’s mind and conviction without threat, and that it is a fundamental right to conduct one’s life by the conviction of one’s heart as long as it doesn’t hurt one’s neighbor.  If you don’t know the identity, the heritage, the purpose of the nation you live in, then you are easily deceived and blown by every competing ideology presented to you.

We used to tell our kids when they went out and about for functions in society at large, “Represent!  Remember you’re a Smallback.  Remember you’re a child of God.”  If you don’t know your heritage, you don’t know your identity.  You’ll make it whatever fancies you at the moment, or whatever tempts you to be like it, or whatever threatens you if you’re not like it.  Crests and coat of arms and family monograms were identity markers.  It represented identity, and the identity was in large part to the heritage.

We live in a modern society that’s rapidly forgetting its identity.  The globules have been homogenized and the cream isn’t rising to the top.  It’s all being spread out like it’s the same thing.  But it’s not.  So now when a foreign substance (person, ideology, belief system, etc.) slips through the filtration system designed to keep the body (nation) healthy, there’s no defense for the body.  It weakens it.  It compromises it.  It changes it.

It’s not that milk is bad for the body.  Six millennia will tell us the opposite.  It’s that homogenizing it so that it’s not recognizable to the body’s filter system is bad for the body.  Steroids slip through.  Proteins don’t get broken down correctly.  The body starts responding by developing autoimmunities, turning against itself, constantly inflamed.

If you identify as a Muslim and think beating your wife and daughters is acceptable, then go to the nation that believes as you do.  We won’t tell you what to do in your country, in your customs.  There are perfectly good countries that identify as you do.  Go there!

If you’re an African and defecating in public arenas or wielding machetes through fields killing small animals and birds is the culture you identify with, go to the nation that has your cultural identity.  There are plenty of them! If you’re a Mexican gang-banger and you identify with kidnapping, rape, torture and extortion, then go the nation that gave you that heritage.  It wasn’t America!

This experiment with homogenization is destroying the bodies it’s entering.  European girls are being raped, trafficked and murdered by people who don’t identify with the identity of the nation they’ve invaded.  These people have no frame of reference for civilization in these nations.  They only know their own identity and it is destroying the body they’ve entered.

The same experiment in America is yielding the same results.  Your government representatives are more intent on the globalization agenda of homogenization.  That agenda will destroy identity and purpose, which is exactly what they want.

You can’t get cream, butter, or even buttermilk from homogenized milk.  What a perfect analogy of what we’re seeing in modern America now.

May 2, 2025

With an upcoming Valero Refinery closure in California, the 5th largest economy in the world will be more dependent of China for its demands for transportation fuels and oil derivatives to make products.

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 world 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 society.

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.

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.

Governor Newsom’s policies, just on the “supply” side of the equation, continue to force California, the 5th largest economy in the world, to be the only state in contiguous America that imports most of its crude oil demands from foreign countries. California crude oil production is in terminal decline, driven by the lack of drilling permits, despite ample reserves. That dependence on foreign imports has increased imported crude oil from foreign countries from 5 percent in 1992 to more than 60 percent today of total consumption.

The West Coast gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuels market is isolated from other supply/demand centers as California is an energy island isolated from all 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 East of the Sierra Mountains. 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 of crude oil.

Because California is an isolated energy island market with no incoming oil pipeline connections over the Sierra Mountains from other states, in-state refinery closures will increase importation to meet demands for transportation fuels – sourced primarily from foreign countries like China, Saudi Arabia, Ecuador, Iraq, Columbia, and Russia.

California transportation fuel demands have staggering numbers from the in-state refineries:

•  With all its 145 airports, inclusive of 9 international airports and 41 military airports, that demand 13 million gallons of aviation fuel daily. In 2019, California consumed 16.7% of the national total of jet fuel, making it the largest consumer of jet fuel in America.
•  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 fuel is the second largest transportation fuel used in California, consuming 10 million gallons a day of diesel to support the state’s 35 million registered vehicles.
•  California refineries supply 45% of Arizona’s and 88% of Nevada’s transportation fuels, so any disruption in California impacts all three states.
•  California’s northern and southern fuel supply systems are not connected, requiring ocean-going vessels to transport fuel between them. The efforts of California toward the oil production and refining “supply” have had minimal impact on the growing materialistic “demands” of what is made from those fossil fuels.
•  The mandating for a transition to EV’s has had minimal impact on gasoline consumption as most EV’s are second vehicles for low milage usage. The workhorse vehicles for major milage demands are still reliable and affordable internal combustion engines.
•  Hospitals and airports continue expanding to meet the demands of society. Both hospitals and airports did not exist 200 years ago as they only exist today because of the more than 6,000 products and transportation fuels made from fossil fuels.

Today, 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 every product being used by mankind.

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 refineries include the Yulong Petrochemical complex and the Huajin Aramco Petrochemical Company, as well as expansions to existing refineries like the Sinopec Gulei refinery.

The upcoming closure of Phillips 66 Refinery in 2025, and the Valero Refinery in 2026 will not reduce the materialistic demands of society for the products and fuels from those refineries. The state will obviously be importing less crude oil to refine, but instead, will be importing transportation fuels manufactured in China, the same transportation fuels that are no longer manufactured at those two closed California facilities. Yes, the big winner to meet the continuously increasing demands for the products and fuels from refined oil, appears to be China.

On another front, the current “tariff wars with China” received repercussions from China. China controls most of the rare earth’s metals around the world, thus it is a national security risk to America! They are now playing those cards, which will start to impact the supply chain of those materials to meet the demands of USA manufacturers.

•  China has halted critical exports as the trade war intensifies. China has suspended exports of a wide range of critical minerals and magnets, threatening to choke off supplies of components central to the demands of automakers, aerospace manufacturers, semiconductor companies and military contractors around the world.

•  Shipments of the magnets, essential for assembling everything from cars and drones to robots and missiles, have been halted at many Chinese ports while the Chinese government drafts a new regulatory system. Once in place, the new system could permanently prevent supplies from reaching certain companies, including American military contractors.

With closure of the Phillips 66 Refinery in 2025, and the Valero Refinery in 2026, a similar national security concern would result from our growing dependence on China to meet the humongous demands for transportation fuels by California, Arizona and Nevada.

Compounding the growing need for more importation to meet the materialistic demands of society will be the West Coast port’s ability to receive transportation fuels as marine facilities in California face increased congestion and dramatic vessel limits.

It’s obvious that the Net-Zero emission policies within California, and their lack of comprehension of “supply AND demand”, and the subsequent over regulations, mandates, and taxes just on the SUPPLY side of the equation, are causing a national security situation for the entire country’s DEMANDs for the products and fuels made from the fossil fuel industry. In the meantime, China is silently supporting the efforts of California and savoring the future with their many refineries coming online to meet the materialistic DEMANDS of society.

Lining Pockets And Ignoring Facts Is A Deadly Combination

In addition to disenfranchising citizens and taking away their constitutional right to manage their own communities, Tallahassee is making some of its citizens sick, and worse — NOT just with their sleazy politics, but by standing on the side of dangerous and deadly business.

The mining of phosphate is one of Florida’s largest industries. The phosphate in the state is from sediment formed by the remnants of sea creatures, laid down over millions of years forming rock from which the mineral is excavated and brought to the surface. Today, the phosphate is used as fertilizer. Florida supplies 80% of the nation’s phosphate, and 25% of the world’s supply.

Twelve active phosphate mines are currently authorized in Florida, according to the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Most are controlled by two main companies, Mosaic and Nutrien.

This is the FIRST EDITION of a story about Mosaic, the largest.

Phosphate is BIG, but deadly, business in the Sunshine State; not only the mining but the reclamation processes which attempt to re-use the land after it is stripped of phosphate. The land remains toxic, for generations to come. Tallahassee loves business, and seems not to care about the lives lost to radiation poisoning, which is the residual of phosphate mining.

The mining of phosphate releases high levels of radioactive material, which stays in the soil and water for thousands of years. Ironically, phosphate is used as fertilizer to grow food to feed people, while the production of it sickens them. Some radiation remains, even in the fertilizer produced from this.

By 2011, cancer was the leading cause of death in Florida.

One of Florida’s largest industries is killing people. The mining of phosphate releases deadly levels of radiation into the air, soil and water. Mosaic knows this. I suspect that Tallahassee does as well. How could they not?

Employees of the company are told that their lives will be shortened by exposure to this mining, but that they are “feeding the children of the world”. What psychobabble…who will feed their own children after their lives are “shortened”? This is asking for lives in exchange for paychecks.

This message is juxtaposed with Mosaic advertising propaganda, delivered with silky sweetness, that includes information that the company is teaching the children to have jobs with Mosaic in the future.

Don’t you wonder if Mosaic prepares those students for shortened lives and miserable deaths??

The documentary, PhosFate, tells it all. It is 90 minutes of information that will leave you shaken. I BEG you to watch it. Click the link. Your life and the lives of those you love may depend on what you learn. The documentary was begun in 2019, and published in 2021; PhosFate represents hundreds of hours of work by those suffering from related illness. It contains careful, in-depth research. Of course, Mosaic and Tallahassee hate it.

Of the five citizens listed at the beginning of the documentary as “starring”, two are have succumbed to their cancers.

If you live in or visit Florida, you owe it to yourself and your family’s safety, to watch PhosFate.

This environmental catastrophe has been going on for a long time. The current administration is following the lead of others who populated Tallahassee before it.

In 1975 When Ruben Askew was the Governor of Florida, the federal EPA informed the nation that dangerously elevated levels of radon were found on former phosphate mining land, in structures built on ‘reclaimed’ land. At that time, THE EPA RECOMMENDED THAT BUILDING OF STRUCTURES ON THIS (reclaimed) LAND BE DISCOURAGED. I have no idea how many homes, parks and towns have been built on land like this since then.

This was 1975. Fifty years ago. Tallahassee has a real learning problem. Or, they don’t give a damn. Rick Scott worked closely with phosphate mining companies when he was governor, as does DeSantis’s crew, today. But of course, DeGov would never admit to that.

With the super-majority that the current governor enjoys, his administration could certainly have turned the tide, but has not. An occasional “dog and phoney show” (Mrs. Gov’s 2023 “cancer initiative” to collect data- another “Florida is first” show) on the subject, but nothing of substance. The data is there in abundance, Casey. USE IT.

Also, supportive legislation – to the mining companies – is being put on the books.

Sort of reminds you of election integrity, but we won’t go there for now.

SB 832, and HB 585 passed in the 2025 session., They “gut” protections for the environment and the people. SB 832 makes it difficult/impossible to sue the mining companies; HB 585 provides “conditions” necessary to bring suit against certain former mining sites. Conditions purposely difficult to meet.

In 2023, the same year as the Casey initiative was launched, DeSantis signed a bill authorizing research into using the radioactive rock, a mining byproduct, to pave highways. This rock is already piled at a mining museum encouraging children to play in it. A geiger counter there reads more than 4X the EPA safety limits – Fukishima levels. The same tainted gravel is in campsites and parks. But DeGov somehow needs more “research”. How many deaths will it take to convince him? Or is it part of another phony show of concern?

Cancer has been the leading cause of death in Florida since 2011. Not skin cancers from too much sun, but hybrid cancers, which doctors admit they are not sure how to treat.

Whole communities are stricken, small children to older adults, in clusters. Even pets. This cannot be a coincidence of genetics, that all cancer-prone people are living together in certain communities. These cancers are coming from the environmental factors in the soil, water and air. Phosphate mining is a major contributor to this. This is a proven fact.

One citizens group has crowd-sourced data from families in communities built on reclaimed land and/or nearby the toxic soil and water, finding up to 800 diagnoses in some areas, of the same type of cancer. The Department of Health basically ignored it. Of course Florida DOH in one county occupies a building built for them by Mosaic. Just sayiin’.

Those who ask their state for help with this killer condition, are tracked and accused of lying or working for foreign governments! Dear Lord. Wouldn’t you think that Casey would want them to work together on her initiative??

Whereas you hear mind-numbing repetitions of infomercials about the poison water at Camp LeJeune, you hear nothing about radiation poisoning from the phosphate mining process, even in the state which is being polluted by it.

Florida radiation levels are 3X higher than that at LeJeune. Crickets from officials.

Even Florida’s Fountain of Youth is closed due to the pollution. DeGov hasn’t said a word about it. At least there is a sign to “drink at your own risk”. What a shard of conscience from someone!

Other than that, there are NO WARNING SIGNS, anywhere.

In The Free State Of Florida, road signs abound, telling the observer how wonderful is the state. How “free”! Nowhere will you find signs warning of radioactive pollution in the land, water, food and air.

There are no warning signs on or around the 300,000+ acres (the size of the City of Los Angeles) which is owned by Mosaic Mining, in Manatee, Hillsborough, Polk, Hardee counties. There are no warning signs at the piles of radioactive gravel in which children are encouraged to play. That “Fukishima-level” gravel.

The millions of gallons of water used in the mining process is extracted from the rivers, then returned – RADIOACTIVE RUNOFF – to the waterways to find its way to the Gulf of America. Those waterways are radioactive as well. Of course, no warning signs to spoil the scenery. Millions of sea creatures have been killed in the poisonous waters, while millions of wildlife habitats have been wiped out as forests and open lands are bulldozed and burned to clear for more mining operations.

There has been huge business losses in the tourist communities around the Gulf due to the die-off of seafood, and poisoning of the beaches.

Why is NONE of this of concern to Tallahassee?? They apparently see no problem with any of this, and this is only a small part of the story. There is SO much more.

I decided to put out this introduction to the issue so you could see the documentary, PhosFate, if you haven’t already, and I could finish talking with all of the people who have volunteered to speak to me on the subject. There is medical, scientific, business and political information to come. Brace yourself.

The word, “mosaic” refers to a picture assembled of many small pieces, as is the picture of death and destruction in Florida — its natural resources and its citizens — courtesy of big business and big government.

Join the cause We are still bigger than our enemy and stronger, if we stand up. If we don’t, we sacrifice our seat at the table, and bear the full weight of their game.

I will leave you with the words of Margaret Meade: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful concerned citizens can change the world.” Be the change that is so desperately needed.

Texas, the unbreakable heart of American freedom, is under attack. A creeping, insidious force is burrowing into the Lone Star State, and it’s not coming with guns or bombs; it’s arriving with land deals, mosques, and a calculated plan to transform Texas into an Islamic stronghold. The evidence is undeniable, the stakes are apocalyptic, and the time for action is now. This is not a drill but a war for the soul of Texas.

The East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) is ground zero. They’re not just building a neighborhood; they’re carving out a 402-acre Islamic fortress called EPIC City, a self-proclaimed “epicenter of Islam in America.” This isn’t about houses or community centers – it’s about planting a flag and claiming Texas for Sharia. Their promotional videos boast of a “meticulously designed community that brings Islam to the forefront.” That’s not integration; that’s domination. They want 1,000 homes, a mosque, Islamic schools, clinics, and a senior living facility, orbiting around their green-domed house of worship with 3,200 worshipers. This is a city within a city, a parallel society that answers to the Quran, not the Constitution.
Story continues below advertisement

Many of our elected officials don’t even dare to challenge Islam and its barbaric rules. They usually avoid any questions about the nature of Islam when speaking with their constituents or deceive them by telling them not to worry about the horrific things that are happening on the other side of the world.

This is alarming. But regrettably, too few Americans are aware of all this, and organizations such as the Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR) and other Muslim Brotherhood-linked organizations are taking full advantage of our naïveté. CAIR is only one of many Islamic organizations that provide refuge to stealth jihad.

At least Governor Greg Abbott has sounded the alarm, and he’s not whispering. “Sharia law is not allowed in Texas. Nor are Sharia cities,” he declared, unleashing a dozen State agencies that are investigating EPIC’s activities. The Texas Rangers are probing potential criminal violations, including operating an unlicensed funeral home, misleading investors, and breaching fair housing laws. Attorney General Ken Paxton criticizes EPIC for consumer protection violations, while the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has issued cease-and-desist orders for starting construction without permits. This is Texas fighting back, and it’s a beautiful sight.

But the enemy is cunning. EPIC’s leaders, like resident scholar Yasir Qadhi, claim they’re just building a “diverse community” that follows state and federal laws. Don’t be fooled. Their own words betray them. A viral video tied to the project brags about creating a “self-governed Islamic city.” Self-governed? That’s code for a no-go zone where Texas law is a suggestion, not a mandate. They aren’t here to blend in but to take over. And they’re not alone. Shadowy Islamic groups are acquiring land across Texas—Sachse, Aubrey, Blue Ridge—and even converting megachurches into ideological outposts. This is a coordinated invasion, and Texans are sleeping through it.

The X platform is ablaze with warnings. Patriots like @AmyMek and @CarlosTurcios are exposing the truth: Islamic compounds are sprouting with zero oversight, and symbolic rituals are being performed to claim Texas for Islam. One post revealed a Pakistani ex-president invited by EPIC’s backers, openly preaching that “the resurgence of Islam can take place from the US.” They’re not hiding their goal—a caliphate on American soil. Another user, @JohnnyWhiskyTX, roared that while Texans are distracted by BBQ and football, their state is being transformed into Pakistan. Wake up, Texas. Your heritage is being stolen.

This isn’t new. Texas has been a battleground for years. Two Muslim lawmakers, Salman Bhojani and Suleman Lalani, have already pushed bills like HB 1044, which critics say lays the groundwork for Sharia-compliant family law. They’ve also secured “Muslim Heritage Month” for the next decade, a Trojan horse to entrench Islamic influence in schools and public policy. Halal certification schemes are bleeding Texas businesses, funneling money to fund lobbying and radical agendas. This is economic warfare dressed as cultural accommodation.

The opposition is fierce but not fierce enough. EPIC’s defenders, like Mustafaa Carroll from CAIR’s Texas branch, cry “Islamophobia” and accuse Abbott and Paxton of spreading “hateful misinformation.” They claim the project is inclusive and open to all. However, their actions scream otherwise. Death threats have poured in against the project’s critics, and locals are terrified of a loudspeaker blasting the call to prayer five times a day. This isn’t about coexistence; it’s about submission.

Texas history is forged in defiance—San Jacinto, the Alamo, the Texas Rangers. We don’t bow to foreign creeds or allow our laws to be trampled. However, the enemy is banking on our complacency. They’re counting on Texans to shrug and say, “It’s just a neighborhood.” It’s not. It’s a beachhead. If EPIC City rises, it will serve as a model for additional Islamic enclaves throughout the state, each gradually undermining the Texas way of life until a crescent moon supplants the Lone Star.

The fight is now. Gov. Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton are drawing a line in the sand, but they need every Texan to stand with them. Flood the Collin County Commissioners Court with demands to deny EPIC’s permits. Arm yourself with the truth—follow X accounts like @KamVTV and @EndWokeness for real-time updates. Demand transparency from your lawmakers and reject any compromise that smells of Sharia. Texas is the last bastion of American grit. If we lose here, we lose everything.

This is not a debate. This is not a discussion. This is a call to arms. Texas will not become an Islamic state. Not today, not ever. Rise, Texans, and defend your land. The eyes of history are watching.

You do not have to be a Catholic to recognize that the Roman Catholic Church traces its roots to the time of Christ and St. Peter and has a special place in the history of Christianity.  What is more, Christians of various persuasions understand there is a spiritual conflict between Christ and Satan for control of the world that is under the careful watch of God Himself.  What roles do President Trump and the nations of America and Russia, now at war in Europe, play in this unfolding scenario?

Many Americans believe America has a divine mission in the world and President Trump has recognized the hand of God in saving his life from an assassin. But are there nations taken over by the spirit of the anti-Christ? Some would immediately respond that Communist China is such a country. But what about Russia, a nation that many conservatives believe has shaken its communist past?

In my recent Rumble TV interview with Trevor Loudon, the anti-communist analyst, the case was made that Russia remains under the control of a communist regime, led by a former KGB colonel, Vladimir Putin, that is waging war with its former Soviet republics, starting with Ukraine and threatening to expand into Eastern Europe. But several key Trump advisers, such as Tucker Carlson, have supported Russia by featuring interviews with Russian president Vladimir Putin and his “brain,” the “Russian philosopher” Alexander Durgin.  They blame Nazis in Ukraine for the war.

Russia’s recent aggressive actions, as Trump tried to negotiate a ceasefire and peace deal, have apparently caught the president by surprise. He called on Putin to “STOP” his military assaults on the people of Ukraine. Meanwhile, Alexander Dugin is defending the use of communist North Korean troops in the war on Ukraine, as well as Russia’s alliance with Communist China, as Trump’s Director of National Intelligence (DNI), Tulsi Gabbard, is telling President Trump that Russia-supported Iran is not pursuing nuclear weapons.

Gabbard had declared that “radical Islam” is a threat but seems to accept claims by the Mullahs that America can negotiate with Iran and make it friendly to the United States. Hence, Trump has pursued a “deal” with Iran, a development that threatens the survival of Israel, another country that figures in Bible prophecy. We argued that Gabbard, as we warned at the time, does not have the necessary credentials to ascertain national security threats to America. She defended former NSA/CIA analyst Edward Snowden, who defected to Russia through Chinese Hong Kong.

It appears that President Trump now understands he had a major blind spot regarding Russia, and that the “art of the deal” is not possible with Putin. In this context, the Catholic Church view on the importance of Russia in Bible prophecy deserves some interest and scrutiny from the president and his top aides.

The Catholic view is that the Virgin Mary appeared to the children at Fatima, Portugal, in 1917, the same year as the communist revolution in Russia, and requested a special religious ceremony or consecration of Russia, to prevent its “errors” from devastating the world. The warning was that “Russia will spread its errors throughout the world, raising up wars and persecutions against the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father [the Pope] will have much to suffer, and various nations will be annihilated.”

In 2018, a film called “The Vatican Deception” warned that the consecration had not taken place and that Armageddon was coming unless the nation was converted to Christ in a special consecration ceremony by the Roman Catholic Church. Pope Francis did in fact arrange a consecration ceremony for Russia in March 25, 2022, but that was about a month after Russian began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine under Joe Biden.

The war continues, despite President Trump’s pledge to end it on Day One of his presidency. We are now moving past Day 100 and Trump seems increasingly alienated from Putin because of Putin’s obvious desire for more war and more bloodshed, using communist North Korean troops and Chinese assistance to make this possible. Putin’s conduct should be a wake-up call to those who have believed that Ukraine or NATO started the war and that Russia wanted peace.

In retrospect, it is worth considering that the consecration of Russia did NOT take place as necessary. Perhaps there was something deficient in what Pope Francis did. That is the argument made by Paul Stark, director of “The Vatican Deception,” in a recent interview on my Rumble channel. He notes that Francis replaced Pope Benedict in a strange turn of events, when Benedict retired, and that the Francis papacy may not have been legitimate. As a result, that and other factors undermined the consecration of Russia that was required.

Catholics and non-Catholics alike have a religious obligation to understand these events and their impact on the world. If the Fatima revelations are true, and the Virgin Mary did appear to those three children at Fatima, Portugal, in a warning for the world, it means the Catholic Church can stop what appears to be a rush toward total war involving nuclear exchanges between Russia, America, and perhaps China.

But whether the consecration of Russia occurs will depend on the next Pope and whether he follows the outline of what was presented more than 100 years ago and validated by the “Miracle of the Sun” witnessed by tens of thousands of people and which followed the appearance of — and the promise from — the Virgin Mary.

President Trump would be well-advised to consider the spiritual dimensions of this conflict. This could be the key to world peace and his own successful presidency.

During the more than 100-year period in which Russia was not consecrated, the “errors” of this nation have been displayed for all to see, as the Russian Orthodox Church emerged in a schism (under the control of the KGB) and Soviet Russia launched an international communist movement that has claimed 100 million lives.

Pagans and secular humanists scoff at reports that demons or Satan exist. But even Pope Francis, a Jesuit with a soft spot for Marxist-oriented “liberation theology,” referred to the transgender ideology as demonic. Signs of demonic possession in some individuals can be measured. They include:

• a colossal amount of strength that is not natural,
• the ability to speak in languages the possessed don’t know, sometimes in the form of ancient languages the possessed couldn’t possibly learn,
• and knowledge of unconfessed sins by the possessed person who reveals them to those participating in the exorcism.

An exorcism in Mount Rainier, Maryland, in the Washington, D.C. area,  inspired the book by William Peter Blatty and the film, “The Exorcist.” Blatty also wrote Legion, a book about demons based on Satan’s  proclamation, “My name is Legion, for we are many,” in answer to Jesus’ question, “What is your name?”

For years the Vatican treated believers in the Fatima prophecies as heretics, a fact attributed by director Paul Stark to the communist infiltration of the Vatican. Now, with the passing of Pope Francis, the Roman Catholic Church has an opportunity to not only eradicate communism and corruption in the ranks but fulfill Bible prophecies recognized by the church itself. That means Russia – especially its regime of former KGB operatives – must be exorcized. We discussed the nature of this regime in our 2014 book, Back from the Dead: The Return of the Evil Empire.

We learned from anti-communist scholar Dr. Paul Kengor that the Soviets were certainly behind the May 13, 1981, attempted assassination of anti-communist Pope John Paul II. His book, A Pope and a President: John Paul II, Ronald Reagan, and the Extraordinary Untold Story of the 20th Century, revealed that Reagan’s CIA director Bill Casey confirmed the Soviet role, in the face of official CIA or Deep State resistance to the finding.

Like Trump, Reagan survived an assassination attempt. Reagan brought down the Soviet empire through a combination of military and monetary pressure, until Vladimir Putin assumed the Russian presidency and tried to bring it back, with his first invasion of Ukraine under President Obama and then a massive invasion under Biden. This is the world that President Trump inherits. With God’s help, he will make the right decisions. It is then up to the next Pope.

May 1, 2025

During an interview with a big network, the host asked U.S. Senator John Kennedy (R-LA), what he thought about Alexandra Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) being named as the front runner for the democrat party for the presidency in 2028.

He answered, “Well, she has the brains just about even with a billy goat and the voice of a mockingbird.”

She possesses the intellectual talent of a snail and the common sense of a cricket. Yet, AOC hates Trump with a vengeance. She’s a committed socialist who jets around America condemning all of Trump’s accomplishments in the past 100 days. She stands for men competing against women in women’s sports. Thus, she wants all women to fail in the athletic arena. She hates Trump for sending an MS-13 terrorist back to San Salvador’s major prison where he can no longer harm anyone. She hates it that Trump has secured the borders. She supported and still supports the 15 million illegal border jumpers. In other words, she loves illegal aliens, terrorists and men beating up women in women’s sports.

What has she accomplished in her four-year tenure in the House of Representatives? Answer: NOTHING!

House Member Ilhan Omar (D-MN), an immigrant from Somalia where, if you’re a woman, you’re half the value of a man, you suffer female genital mutilation before age nine, you are forbidden to be educated, you have no choice of a mate, and you can be honored killed in a second by your husband or brother—condemns Trump at every speech she gives in public. In reality, she’s never read the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights or the Declaration of Independence. She couldn’t pass a 9th grade Algebra I test to save her life. She married her brother to help him gain entrance to America—-which she should be deported for breaking our immigration laws. But, being a minority, black and a female, she’s immune from prosecution. If she had her way, she’d turn America into Sharia Law. That’s her final intention. She wants Trump to fail. During October 7th slaughter of Jews in Israel, her constituents chanted, “Death to America”. Same thing in Detroit with House Member and Muslim, Rashida Talaib, “Death to America.”

Governor Gavin Newsom of California, with $76 billion in state debt, failing schools, destroyed medical systems, crime everywhere—-spent $25 million to “Trump-proof” his 4.0 million illegal aliens from deportation. In other words, Newsom’s doing everything to help law-breakers continue to break the law. He wants to defeat his own state and continue California’s slide into a third world country—where poverty, homelessness and illiteracy become the norm. Newsom stands against everything about Trump.

Then, you’ve got two female democrat governors in Maine and Massachusetts that want to beat Trump in court by mandating that biological men can beat up, hurt, destroy and conquer biological women on the sports field, tennis court, volleyball court, wrestling mat, pool and everywhere else. In other words, women helping women fail and be hurt in the process. It makes no sense, yet democrats want women to fail. They want America to fail. They want insanity and stupidity to prevail.

What about the ACLU? Formerly, it stood for the individual rights of American citizens. Today the American Civil Liberties Union takes Trump to court to bring back terrorists into our midst. They are stopping Trump from sending MS-13 drug dealers and TDA terrorists out of our country. In other words, 270,000 drug overdose deaths in the past four years of the Biden open borders session—-wasn’t enough for them. They want more drug dealers and terrorists within our country. As Senator Kennedy said, these people possess the minds of billy-goats and voices of birds.

If every one of those democrats had birthed/raised a child named Laken Riley, who was killed and mutilated by an illegal alien, would they still be screaming to keep all of those criminals within our society? Millions of Americans have been adversely affected by four years of border insanity, yet democrats want more of it. But why? What provokes such insane thinking?

What about the tariffs? We owe China over $1.3 trillion in trade deficits. We’re screwed by tariffs in all those countries that are taking advantage of us. Trump wants to level the playing field, but you’ve got the “Legacy Media” giving 92 percent negative coverage on Trump’s equalizing tariffs. No wonder the American public does not trust NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, CNN and NPR. They report in favor of liberals who miserably failed the American people for the past four Biden years.

They covered up his Alzheimer’s Disease, plain and simple. Whether it was Jake Tapper, Jonathan Karl, David Muir, Norah O’Donnell, Lester Holt, Scott Simon, et al.—-they all lied by omission. It’s the greatest scandal in American history.

What about “law fare” people trying to jail Trump by a bunch of liars, cheats and thieves like Alvin Bragg, Fani Willis, Letitia James, and the rest? Now, the law is coming down on Letitia James for her own cheating and lying. Ah, Karma is a b*tch!

Almost beyond ironic—U.S. AID milked the American public for 50 years by soaking taxpayers out of trillions of dollars. And yet, everyone screams at Elon Musk for exposing the fraud on levels never heard about in American financial history. The Deep State bureaucrats don’t want anyone to expose their “Slush Fund” paid for by you. How do you think we accumulated a $36 trillion national debt? Answer: politicians!

Then you’ve got the daily TV show, “The View”. It consists of some of the greatest peanut brains ever to speak on national television. Whoopi Goldberg, aka, Cayrn Johnson, hates anyone who is white and anyone who is conservative. Nonetheless, she enjoys a $67 million bank account from all of us white folks who watched her movies. And while Rosie O’Donnell moved back to Ireland, there’s no way Whoopi would move back to the Republic of Congo. No toilets or showers or food! Yet, the people who watch her and her colleagues, think she possesses a brain. Whoopi matches AOC in that department.

As General George Patton, WWII, said, “Politicians are the lowest form of life on this planet. And democrats are the lowest form of politician.”

Let AOC run for president in 2028. As with Kamala Harris, we would again become the laughing stock of the world. I rest my case.
