Big Brother is Watching You

Arguing that you don’t care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say. —Edward Snowden

We have to decide whether our fear is going to get the better of us. Once upon a time we had a standard in our country that was ‘innocent until proven guilty.’ We’ve given up on so much. Now, people are talking about a standard that is ‘if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.’ Think about it. Is that the standard we’re willing to live under? —Sen. Rand Paul

What I worry about ultimately is that when we’re stripped of our privacy, when we’re stripped of free will, when we start to merge with machines in a more robust way, at some point, we’ll cease to be identifiably human. And therefore, I think our humanity is, in some ways, the thing that’s under existential threat. —Franklin Foer

Big brother is watching you. —George Orwell, 1984

The Fourth Amendment of our unalienable Bill of Rights states, “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

Without personal privacy, we are all potential victims of the “secret police.”

In April 2024, Speaker Mike Johnson cast a crucial vote against an amendment that would have required a warrant for accessing data under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). President Biden strongly opposed the warrant requirement amendment, but former President Trump stated, “Kill FISA, it was illegally used against me and many others. They spied on my campaign.”

Cameras are everywhere watching the people.

Red light cameras are automated systems used by law enforcement to monitor intersections and catch drivers who run red lights or aren’t wearing their seatbelts. License readers have gone up all over the country. Stores and public buildings are equipped with cameras. The self-checkout lanes at groceries are equipped with cameras.

The National Security Agency (NSA) previously collected phone metadata on millions of Americans. While this program has been scaled back, it raised significant privacy concerns. The NSA and other agencies have also been known to collect internet communications and track location data using various programs and access to databases, even without warrants.

Privacy is dying.

Since 1990, the federal government has been building different “digital” pieces around American citizens. We are entering the realm of what some have called, “a digital concentration camp”, far deadlier than the three members of the Axis of Evil, United Nations Agenda 21/30 with their smart growth, 15-minute cities and Wildlands Project, more lethal than the World Health Organization and the World Economic Forum.

It is complete control.

It is the digital monster who will alert the “secret police.”

Trump Taps Palantir

The Trump administration has tapped Peter Thiel’s Palantir, the notorious data-mining firm, to compile information on people in the United States for a “master database,” creating an easy way to cross-reference sensitive data from tax records, immigration records and more.

Peter Thiel is the co-founder and Chairman of the Board of Palantir Technologies, a large data analytics company. Thiel also co-founded PayPal and is known for his early investment in Facebook. In his personal life, he is married to Matt Danzeisen, and they have two adopted children. He publicly came out as gay in 2016.

After graduating from Stanford, Thiel began his career as a clerk for Judge James Larry Edmondson, worked as a securities lawyer at Sullivan & Cromwell, the same law firm of Allen and Foster Dulles. He was a speechwriter for former U.S. secretary of education, neo-con William Bennett, and a derivatives trader at Credit Suisse.

Thiel is a board member of the Bilderbergers with his friend, former CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt. The two of them introduced JD Vance to Trump at Mar-a-Lago after relieving him of his Trump Derangement Syndrome. Allegedly, they promised monetary support to Trump’s campaign for accepting their boy Vance as VP.

Palantir is now a huge part of the government.

Palantir Technologies, named after the all-seeing stones of Tolkien’s legendarium, claims to help governments and corporations make sense of data. They offer an extra… total control. The company is a data-mining leviathan and it is backed by billionaires and defense contractors. It was born out of PayPal with its two founders, Theil and Bilderberger Steering Committee member, Alex Karp. They took an anti-fraud algorithm and turned it into military magic. It is a tool of surveillance and domination and they’re not even hiding their intentions.

Founded in 2004 with a $2 million investment from the CIA’s venture arm, In-Q-Tel (IQT), Palantir’s “Gotham” platform was originally built to “fuse” intelligence data for clandestine operations. Palantir has four operating platforms.

Gotham has consumed huge amounts of private data on millions of American citizens via a government stamp of approval and a $794 million taxpayer funded check from the US Army, Space Force, US Special Operations Command and the US Food and Drug Administration. Their notable investors include Founders Fund, Morgan Stanley, and In-Q-Tel. Other significant investors include Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Co., BlackRock Advisors LLC, and State Street Corporation.

In 2021 the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) renewed its commitment to working with Palantir to support COVID-19 vaccine distribution for another year. Palantir was commissioned in mid-2020 by the Department of HHS to build HHS Protect and Tiberius, a software platform it uses to track Operation Warp Speed’s “vaccine” production, distribution, and administration across the United States. Tiberius also gave a “threat risk” score on how obedient you were to masking, distancing, lockdown criteria and “vaccination.”

A fitting name for the COVID-19 injections, Tiberius was the second Roman emperor, ruling from 14 to 37 CE. He succeeded Augustus, his stepfather, and initially displayed a competent and cautious leadership style. However, his reign was marked by a growing reluctance to engage in public affairs and a reputation for cruelty, particularly in his later years.

Palantir’s Foundry is a software platform that serves as an operating system for organizations, integrating data, analytics, and operations, but it doesn’t just store your data. It also analyses it. Reminiscent of the 2002 Tom Cruise movie, Minority Report…that’s Palantir’s Foundry. It predicts what you might do. It actually assigns risks and flags “troublemakers.” Psychological dossiers are being assembled. Deportations are being prepped by algorithm.

Foundry actually profiles the population before anything happens. It is no longer science fiction like the 2002 movie. It is real and it’s here. Former Palantir employees have confirmed it and they’re being tracked before they blow the whistle.

The CCP watches all their citizens via camera wherever they are, like the old drama series with Jim Caviezel, Person of Interest. Palantir’s Foundry makes China’s Social Credit System look like child’s play.

This is not Communist China, it is the United States of America, the so-called “Land of the Free” and her citizens are being contracted out to a private entity. That’s the part that should terrify all of us.

When interviewed by NPR, Palantir co-founder Alex Karp said, “Palantir is here to disrupt and make our – the institutions we partner with the very best in the world and, when it’s necessary, to scare our enemies and, on occasion, kill them.”

Now that same tool is integrated into Homeland Security, Department of Defense, the CDC, ICE and more.

Former Palantir employee, Juan Sebastian Pinto, helped market Palantir products, including the systems behind what’s known as kill chains – AI-driven networks that help identify targets on battlefields. He’s also sold Palantir surveillance tools to governments. Pinto said he grappled for a while as to whether he should say anything about the company. He said, “I simply cannot live in a world where my grandchildren have to be processed through a database where their everyday activities, including social media posts as citizens are tracked, collected and used for an authoritarian government’s policing database.” He added, “As a former employee, I’m not even sure about my personal safety in regards to speaking out.”

Bobby Allyn of NPR news commented, “Other Palantir employees have wanted to warn about how the company’s technology can be abused by governments, but he says they are under legal agreements to stay silent.”

DOGE and Palantir

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) aggressively collected tons of sensitive data from various government agencies, even breaking down firewalls that were supposed to protect us. Three of the people hired by DOGE formerly worked at Palantir. The data collected by DOGE is being used by Palantir to build AI-powered profiles on all Americans. Wikileaks warned us that Palantir is the spearhead of an American surveillance machine. Palantir has literally been hired as a spyware company.

Wired reporter Makena Kelly says the company is “becoming an operation system for the entire government,” and describes how Palantir’s contracts with the Trump administration are an outgrowth of work done by Elon Musk’s DOGE which aims to “centralize data all across government.”

This is the digital monster. Through an executive order, #14243, titled “Stopping Waste, Fraud, and Abuse by Eliminating Information Silos,” signed by President Trump on March 20, 2025, all government departments are now feeding their databases into one vast, unified pool, one that Palantir can tap, sort, and weaponize. Social Security records, IRS filings, CDC health data, defense intel, all are flowing through Palantir’s AI-driven filters. The EO requires all federal agencies to share all personal data on Americans.

This private information can be used to track or persecute Americans who do not fit the government’s mold. The system tracks political views, protest activity, and personal behaviors using AI to flag potential threats.

Thiel’s company is a vector for centralized control disguised as efficiency. We may soon see real-time social credit systems that fuse health records, financial data, and GPS tracking to assign behavioral risk scores.

Surveillance is expanding under the guise of security, risking long-term tyranny through normalized population profiling. Benjamin Franklin warned us, “Those who would give up Essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

Palantir’s Federal Advisory Board

In October of 2022 / Palantir Technologies Inc. announced four new additions to its Palantir Federal Advisory Board (PFAB). The PFAB is a group of former government and military leaders established by Palantir Technologies to provide guidance on how the company’s software and technologies can best support U.S. government agencies. The board focuses on issues related to defense, intelligence, and homeland security, helping Palantir tailor its offerings to meet evolving needs.

“Our work with the United States government, including its defense and intelligence agencies as well as the public health sector, remains at the center of our company,” said Alex Karp, co-founder and chief executive officer of Palantir Technologies Inc. “We are honored to partner with the newest members of our advisory board, whose work has shaped national policy on the most pressing challenges that we collectively face.”

The new members of the PFAB include:

Deborah Birx, Former notorious Coordinator of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, who convinced Trump to shut down the country destroying millions of small businesses. In her book “Silent Invasion,” Birx discusses how she devised a “strategic sleight-of-hand” method of reporting, which involved subterfuge and altering Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines without the Trump administration’s knowledge or authorization.

Birx gave public health departments the green light to count all deaths with COVID as deaths from COVID. She is also the Former Ambassador-at-Large of the Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) Program to support HIV/AIDS Treatment and Prevention. She was appointed in 2014 during the Obama administration.

Will Hurd, Former Representative of Texas’ 23rd District is a moderate republican who voted against traditional Republican viewpoints and has continually been openly critical of President Trump. His background in the CIA was aligned with surveillance.

General Gustave F. Perna, USA (Retired), Former Chief Operating Officer, Operation Warp Speed, delivering the mRNA injections at unprecedented pace; Former Commander, Army Materiel Command (AMC), U.S. Department of Defense. Retired Gen. GUSTAVE PERNA will serve as chief operating officer of DEFCON AI, a startup that will bring artificial intelligence to defense logistics.

Mr. Greg Simon, Former Executive Director of the White House Cancer Moonshot Task Force, President of the Biden Cancer Initiative, and Co- Founder of the Melanoma Research Alliance. He was an American political aide who supported Vice Presidents Joe Biden and Al Gore.

Their press release stated, “Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise.”

In addition, the Army directly commissioned four big tech executives from Palantir, Meta and OpenAI. They were sworn in to be lieutenant colonels, with no military background as the Pentagon, particularly the Army, cozies up to Silicon Valley. The four include Shyam Sankar, chief technology officer for Palantir; Andrew Bosworth, chief technology officer of Meta; Kevin Weil, chief product officer of OpenAI; and Bob McGrew, adviser at Thinking Machines Lab and former chief research officer for OpenAI.

There are money making opportunities here for both sides. Deals were made with their employers’ days before they were sworn in. The Military.com article states, “Service officials insist patriotism is the driving force. However, while the Pentagon has long tapped private-sector talent through advisory roles and consulting gigs, issuing uniforms marks a largely unprecedented step in the modern era.”

Conclusion

In 2003, the creepy “Total Information Awareness” (TIA) office, a Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) program seeking to collect, analyze and data mine every available piece of transaction, communication and travel data on every person in the world, including American citizens, was officially scrapped due to public outrage.

Palantir and its various AI programs are deeply embedded in every agency of the federal government and yet, Americans are silent about the “master data-base.”

Palantir is earning upwards of $3 billion a year providing its AI-driven big data analytics software to governments and private businesses around the globe with their panoptic surveillance of everyone.

A lot of good is coming out of Palantir, especially through law enforcement. Thiel’s company is being used to track illegals and dismantle sex trafficking rings; didn’t we just see 60 children saved in Florida? ICE records show Palantir recently received a $30 million contract to build a platform to track migrant movements in real time. Palantir is even streamlining the D.C. bureaucracy nightmare that we’ve been complaining about for decades. Palantir’s AI software is used by the Israel Defense Forces to strike targets in Gaza. It’s used to assist the Department of Defense to analyze drone footage.

All good, but…

Palantir will outlive Trump’s leadership. When Trump is gone, Palantir’s AI will still be there. What if someone sees liberty and freedom as a threat? What happens when this system is reprogrammed against good patriotic Americans?

There are no mandatory civilian audits or transparency requirements for agencies relying on Palantir, making this a case of governance by black box.

Palantir doesn’t want to overthrow governments. It wants to run them through “support” and suggestion, to be the invisible staffer in every meeting and the silent partner in every crisis.

Our world is fundamentally changing. It’s morphing into a monstrous system of surveillance, manipulation, and mental enslavement. We’ve already lost control over AI and the transformation has become something far more sinister, something that should terrify every thinking human being. We are standing on the edge of a technological abyss, humanity many not have a future, we would be irrelevant and disposable.

Palantir’s AI would have total control and we would be in the crosshairs.

When Is A “He” A She & A “Her” A He?

By Frosty Wooldridge

June 30, 2025

This past weekend, “Gay Pride” LGBTQ parades flourished in large cities across America. Approximately 5.5 percent of Americans identify as homosexuals, bisexuals, lesbians, queers, transgenders and other forms of sexual expressions and/or perversions. That equates to around 14 million people who live a lifestyle outside the norms of average American society.

That same group suffers horrific suicide rates: “Among gay or lesbian youth, 37% seriously considered suicide and 19% attempted.” In other words, such a life-path renders emotional and psychological consequences far beyond “normal” American youth. If such LGBTQ people lived in Islamic lands, they would suffer decapitation, hung, shot or thrown off a roof to their deaths.

Even in America, such life-choices leave such individuals to live among those like themselves. Luckily for them, gay cities like San Francisco, and establishments exist where they can express themselves freely. When it comes to sexually transmitted diseases, such individuals suffer and die in large numbers.

As of the last 10 years, we now stand in the crosshairs of men “identifying” as women in order to compete in women’s sports. When a rational person tries to make sense of all these “new” abnormalities facing our society, it dawns on the 95 percent of us that live “normal” lives—that these “recent” things of life tilt toward “nuts, crazy, irrational, deranged, insane, and demented.”

When historians write about these abnormal times in the first quarter of the 21st century, it’s going to be interesting how they come to terms with human sexual activities that explode into such parlors as Sean Diddy Combs, the millionaire songster who beat his women, trafficked sexual victims and carried on endless sexual perversions. He’s now facing life in prison. His fate rests in the hands of a jury. But if you look out across America’s landscape, there must be hundreds of Sean Diddy Combs carrying on violence against women on multiple levels. About three women die daily from American men beating them to death. Pretty ugly stuff from American males.

But the latest form of degrading women on a national level must be “transgenderism.” That’s when biological males that “identify” as women are allowed to compete in women’s sports. When those DNA men beat the crap out of women, we’re seeing major athletic bodies supporting it. We’re seeing female governors and U.S. Senators supporting it at the national level. We’re seeing “political correctness” supersede common sense and biology. We’re seeing the NCAA support the stupidity and arrogance of transgender men pretending to be women. It wouldn’t be so bad if those “men” stayed in their own sports gender.

But because they are mentally ill or psychologically arrogant, they actually step into a girl’s swimsuit, testicles and all, and out-swim the females so they can stand on a podium with a gold medal that should announce them as a “Gold Mental Nut Job.”

Same goes in volleyball with that one DNA male who hit a girl so hard with a spike, that she suffered a severe concussion, brain damage and lost her chance at the professional level. Yet, “he” got away with it.

All the while, you don’t see DNA transgender males competing against women in professional tennis or skiing. Why’s that? Crowds would “boo” them off the court!

It’s way past time that more rational and logical men and women in America in high schools and colleges…stand up, speak out, and take action against the insanity of “transgenders” competing out of their biological lane.

Like those two girls who Boycotted the podium at a recent high school track meet, or the female fencer who refused to compete against the DNA male fencer—-every female athlete needs to Boycott any event where a DNA male attempts to compete.

If those transgender “guys” want to compete fairly, they and their supporters need to create the National Collegiate Transgender Athletic Association. They can create their own events with their own rules. They could promote every “he” to compete in every “she” event. They could promote every “she” in every “he” event. Makes sense, doesn’t it?

Finally, in the end, such arrogant men like William “Lia” Thomas, a male swimmer with a ranking of 492 in men’s college swimming, would be able to swim in a girl’s bathing suit along with 10 other “guys” in women’s bathing suits. You just have to wonder who would watch such a contest?

Or, how about that volleyball player smashing women’s heads off? He could wear a padded bra to show his athletic abilities in a fair and equitable contest with his peers, their equals, and their biological mates. Wouldn’t that be a show with DNA male volleyball players wearing padded bras on both sides of the net? Not only would they be able to “identify” as women, they could look like women, wigs, tampons, padded bras, et al. I’m sure volleyball crowds would pay top dollar to see such a show.

Maybe at some point our latest Supreme Court female Justice Jackson could finally define a woman. Or, she could return to her 10th grade high school biology course to discover her own biology. She certainly got educationally “spanked” by fellow Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett in the latest ruling. In the end, D.E.I. gets exposed for what it really is: affirmative action failing to measure up.

Or, what about that DNA male fencer parrying and thrusting with another DNA “guy” pretending to be a female to show his “feminine” side? Maybe they both could wear padded bras to show their femineity.

When the historians write about the absurdities, insanities, and the idiosyncrasies of the first quarter of 21st century America, they’ll be laughing to themselves or crying as to how humans could become so deranged, mad and insipidly stupid?

Hopefully, no DNA men want to go up against Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham and Lexie Hull. We want full-blown, all female super stars out on the court. Can I hear an “A-men!”

Finally, When Is A “He” A She & A “Her” A He? Answer: AIN’T NO SUCH BIOLOGICAL ANIMAL!

When the FBI Knocks

By Paul Engel

June 29, 2025

The FBI raids the wrong house, so the family can sue for damages, right?
Federal courts have said you cannot sue federal agents for their negligent acts.
The Supreme Court will decide this question in the case Martin v. United States

Imagine being awakened from a sound sleep by a group of armed men bashing in your door. Come to find out, it’s the FBI. Oh yeah, and they have the wrong house. After the trauma, not to mention the damage to your house, at the very least you can sue for a redress of these grievances, right? That is the question before the Supreme Court in the case Martin v. United States.

Background

Before we get into what happened that led to this case, there is an important point that is not obvious from the arguments. This is not a case about the FBI raiding the wrong house, it’s about whether or not the victims of this raid can seek a redress of their grievances.

In the pre-dawn hours of October 18, 2017, FBI Special Agent Lawrence Guerra led a six-agent SWAT team to 3756 Denville Trace. Failing to confirm the address posted on the mailbox and using a black Chevrolet Camaro in the driveway as a landmark, Guerra mistakenly believed he had arrived at 3741 Landau Lane‐the home of gang member Joseph Riley and the address for which Guerra had a search warrant. At the time, Guerra knew that the target house had its address posted on the mailbox and that neither Riley nor his associates were known to drive a black Camaro. Pet. App. 3a-da, 7a, 38a & 1.3.

Ignoring these and other conspicuous features that could have averted their mistake, the heavily armed FBI SWAT team smashed in the front door of 3756 Denville Trace, detonated a flashbang grenade in the home’s entryway, and rushed inside. Pet. App. 7a-8a.

Martin v. United States – Petition for Certiorari

This raid led not only to damage to the property, but to severe psychological trauma to the family as well, especially the young son. When the family attempted to sue the United States under the Federal Tort Claims Act, both the District and Circuit courts denied them standing. Which leads us to the questions presented to the Supreme Court with Curtrina Martin as the lead petitioner.

The questions presented are:

Whether the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause bars claims under the FTCA‐a federal statute enacted by Congress‐when the negligent or wrongful acts of federal employees “have some nexus with furthering federal policy and can reasonably be characterized as complying with the full range of federal law.” App. 17a (quotation omitted).
Whether the FTCA’s discretionary-function exception bars claims for torts arising from wrong-house raids and similar negligent or wrongful acts by federal employees.

Martin v. United States – Petition for Certiorari

In laymen’s terms, does the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause prevent lawsuits against the federal government whenever federal employees are doing their jobs, and does a the FTCA prevent suits if the federal employee is exercising discretion in the performance of their duties?

ORAL ARGUMENT OF PATRICK M. JAICOMO
ON BEHALF OF THE PETITIONERS

As always, the person brining the case to the court, the petitioner, goes first.

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

Congress amended the Federal Tort Claims Act in 1974 to ensure a legal remedy for the intentional torts of federal police.

Martin v. United States – Oral Arguments

Legally, this all starts with the Federal Tort Claims Act, passed in 1948. This legislation was passed to deal with the problem of Sovereign Immunity, something I’ll look at later. The two sections of the law we need to focus on are §2674 – Liability of the United States, and §2680 – Exceptions.

The United States shall be liable, respecting the provisions of this title relating to tort claims, in the same manner and to the same extent as a private individual under like circumstances, but shall not be liable for interest prior to judgment or for punitive damages.

28 USC 2674: Liability of United States

While §2680 listed several exceptions to the United States liability, there was still a problem, which is why, in 1974, Congress amended the FTCA with the following proviso:

That, with regard to acts or omissions of investigative or law enforcement officers of the United States Government, the provisions of this chapter and section 1346(b) of this title shall apply to any claim arising, on or after the date of the enactment of this proviso, out of assault, battery, false imprisonment, false arrest, abuse of process, or malicious prosecution.

28 USC §2860 (h)

However, the Eleventh Circuit Court held that “sovereign immunity” prevents any such lawsuits from being heard, even though Congress explicitly said otherwise.

Petitioners bring the claims Congress expressly permitted, but the Eleventh Circuit held that sovereign immunity bars them.

Martin v. United States – Oral Arguments

While the arguments focused on many issues in this proviso, the petitioner’s point is rather simple:

So the government’s argument in this case and the Eleventh Circuit’s holding below invite a simple question: If even proviso claims Congress amended the statute to affirmatively guarantee are barred by sovereign immunity, what is left of the Federal Tort Claims Act?

Martin v. United States – Oral Arguments

Does the court’s idea of “sovereign immunity” supersede federal law? It is a question we’ll look at closer later.

ORAL ARGUMENT OF FREDERICK LIU
ON BEHALF OF THE RESPONDENTS

Next, let’s look at the arguments made on behalf of the United States.

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

This Court granted cert on two questions: one about the reach of the proviso in subsection (h) and the other about the Supremacy Clause. To resolve this case, this Court need only decide the question about the proviso, namely, whether the proviso in subsection (h) modifies the discretionary-function exception in subsection (a).

The answer’s no. Congress placed the proviso in subsection (h), and given that choice, the proviso modifies only subsection (h).

Martin v. United States – Oral Arguments

According to Mr. Liu, while two questions were brought before the court, only one thing needs to be decided, a small question of contraction and English grammar in the law. When Congress added the proviso to subsection (h) of §2680, did it modify just that subsection, (quoted above), or the entire section? This is important because subsection (h) provides an exception to person’s right to sue for:

(h) Any claim arising out of assault, battery, false imprisonment, false arrest, malicious prosecution, abuse of process, libel, slander, misrepresentation, deceit, or interference with contract rights:

28 USC §2860 (h)

In other words, even if government actors grossly violate the law and your rights, the Eleventh Circuit claims FTCA’s “discretionary-function” exception prevents you from seeking redress. What is this “discretionary-function” exception that Mr. Liu is talking about?

(a) Any claim based upon an act or omission of an employee of the Government, exercising due care, in the execution of a statute or regulation, whether or not such statute or regulation be valid, or based upon the exercise or performance or the failure to exercise or perform a discretionary function or duty on the part of a federal agency or an employee of the Government, whether or not the discretion involved be abused.

28 USC §2860 (a)

Basically, this is a get out of court free card for any federal employee while on the job. If the law or regulation is invalid, no lawsuit for you. If the federal agent or employee abuses their discretion, no lawsuit for you either. In short, it means that government actors can do whatever they want, as long as they can somehow tie it back to them exercising discretion in how they do their jobs.

ORAL ARGUMENT OF CHRISTOPHER E. MILLS,
COURT-APPOINTED AMICUS CURIAE
IN SUPPORT OF THE JUDGMENT BELOW ON
QUESTION 1

The court invited Mr. Christopher Mills to brief the court on this case (as an amicus curiae or friend of the court). He argued in support of Eleventh Circuit’s decision on the first question presented, that the Supremacy Clause bars claims under the FTCA.

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

The FTCA does not make the United States liable for lawful acts of its agents.

Martin v. United States – Oral Arguments

No one should be liable for lawful acts. The question that petitioners are trying to get heard is: Were the acts of the FBI lawful or not? That is the crux of his argument. Now, let’s get into the questioning and the specific issues raised during arguments.

Sovereign Immunity

This whole mess comes down to the idea of “sovereign immunity,” a remnant of our days as British Colonies with a sovereign king who could do no wrong. However, when we broke away from Great Britain, we also broke away from the idea of sovereign immunity.

SOVEREIGN. A chief ruler with supreme power; one possessing sovereignty. (q.v.) It is also applied to a king or other magistrate with limited powers.
2. In the United States the sovereignty resides in the body of the people.

Sovereign: The Free Legal Dictionary

The first problem with the concept of sovereign immunity in the United States is that the courts have the wrong sovereign. Sovereignty, the supreme power of the United States, resides with We the People not with the government. It also violates the Supremacy Clause and the First Amendment, which we’ll get to later. That didn’t stop Congress from trying to write such a constitutional violation into the law.

Discretion Clause

Congress’ attempt to blow a gigantic hole in the Constitution started with the so-called “discretionary exception” of the FTCA. However, in the past, the Supreme Court has tried to keep the reins on federal law enforcement. This was the topic of an interesting back and forth between Justice Sotomayor and Mr. Liu.

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: Ah, that’s interesting because, in Gaubert, we said, if an official drove an automobile on a mission connected with his official duties and negligently collided with another car, the exception, discretionary exception, would not apply.

That was because, and I’m quoting, “Although driving requires the constant exercise of discretion, the officials’ decision in exercising that discretion” negligently — I’m putting in that word — “can hardly be said to be grounded in regulatory policy.”

I mean, I don’t see the difference between that and saying that an officer’s action in using a GPS to break into the wrong house has — has any policy related to it. It’s like driving negligently. You got to that house by mistake. You drove negligently and hit someone.

So I don’t understand how the act of going into a wrong house can be discretionary.

Martin v. United States – Oral Arguments

Interesting question. Does the fact that a federal agent is working within the discretion of their job give them protection from their negligent acts?

LIU: Well, we understand the discretion here to be the discretion as to how to identify the target of a search warrant.

Martin v. United States – Oral Arguments

OK, the agents had the discretion on how they identified the target, or more specifically, the target’s location. But don’t they have a duty to make sure they were in the correct location? Especially considering they planned and did you violence, using potentially lethal force during the conduct of the raid?

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: Oh, he had it identified. He got the right target. He just had the wrong house. It’s not a question of did he make a mistake in his warrant application about this individual being a drug dealer, all right? There, I might agree with you, okay? I’m talking about a wrong-house raid. He has the right target, the right house, but breaks into the wrong one.

LIU: Right, and it’s because, as the courts below found, of a reasonable mistake that the officer made —

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: Well, that’s the issue, is that consistent with Gaubert, and I’m asking you to show — to explain to me how that formulation is consistent with Gaubert.

Martin v. United States – Oral Arguments

When you or I make a mistake, we’re liable for it, so why not federal law enforcement? The officers made a mistake; I don’t think anyone disagrees with that. But who is responsible for the consequences of that mistake? If the purpose of the FTCA was for the United States to assume liability for the bad actions of their employees, why place such wide-ranging exceptions on that liability? That is unless you were planning to deny people their right to petition the government for a redress of their grievances?

This led to another interesting exchange, this time between Justice Gorsuch and Mr. Liu.

JUSTICE GORSUCH: No — no policy says don’t break down the wrong house, the door of a house?

LIU: No, I — I — I — excuse me. Of course —

JUSTICE GORSUCH: And don’t — don’t —

LIU: Of course, it’s —

JUSTICE GORSUCH: — don’t traumatize its occupants? Really?

LIU: Of course, it’s the — the United States’ policy to execute the warrants at the right house, but state —

JUSTICE GORSUCH: I should hope so.

LIU: But stating the — the policy at that high level of generality doesn’t foreclose or prescribe any particular course of action in how an officer goes about in identifying the right house.

Martin v. United States – Oral Arguments

So there’s no rule about how federal officers identify the right house, but does that absolve them of responsibility when they get it wrong? Mr. Liu’s response was priceless, and not in a good way.

The — the officers here were weighing public safety considerations, efficiency considerations, operational security, the idea that they didn’t want to delay the start of the execution of the warrants because they wanted to execute all the warrants simultaneously.

Those are precisely the sorts of policy tradeoffs that an officer makes in determining, well, should I take one more extra precaution to make sure I’m at the right house. Here, Petitioner suggests, for example, that the officer should have checked the house number on the mailbox.

Martin v. United States – Oral Arguments

Public safety, operational security, these were the concerns of the officers? Well the public wasn’t safe, because they attacked an innocent family. Operational security was blown, too, because they were close enough to the correct house to alert the subject the FBI was after him. Tell me, how did the safety of an innocent family balance those “policy tradeoffs”?

JUSTICE GORSUCH: Yeah, you might look at the address of the house before you knock down the door.

LIU: Yes. And — and, as the district court found at 52(a), that sort of decision is filled with policy tradeoffs because checking the house —

JUSTICE GORSUCH: Really?

LIU: — number at the end of the driveway means exposing the agents to potential lines of fire from the windows —

JUSTICE GORSUCH: How about making sure you’re on the right street? Is that — is that —

JUSTICE JACKSON: And how does that —

JUSTICE GORSUCH: I mean, just the right street?

JUSTICE JACKSON: How — how —

LIU: No. I mean, I — I was just going to say —

JUSTICE GORSUCH: Checking the street sign, is that — is that, you know, asking too much?

LIU: What I would say is exactly what the courts below found, which is that the officers here made a reasonable mistake as to where they were.

The allegation from Petitioners’ claims is that they should have done more. They should have stopped and got out of the caravan of vehicles and checked the street sign. They should have —

Martin v. United States – Oral Arguments

Yes, the officers made a mistake, a big one. It wasn’t reasonable, it was negligent. Officers didn’t need to stop outside and exit their vehicles to check the address. All they had to do was drive by and look at the mailbox. Should the officers be forced to tell the family, including the traumatized child, that their safety wasn’t worth making sure the GPS sent them to the right address? Even I double-check the address when I follow my GPS.

Law Enforcement Exception

I’ve already talked about the “discretionary exception” from subsection (a), and the proviso, but where did the proviso come from? Answering a question from Justice Alito, Mr. Jiacomo said.

And I think that’s doubly important here because, again, Congress went out of its way in 1974 to go through all the steps it needed to go through to specifically amend the FTCA to say this very affirmative freestanding thing: If you’re a federal law enforcement who commits an intentional tort, we, the United States, not you, the officer, will pay for it to make sure that there’s a remedy for the innocent victims of your mistake or wrongdoing.

Martin v. United States – Oral Arguments

If the purpose of the proviso was to make sure the United States would be liable for any intentional mistake or wrongdoing by federal law enforcement, how can that not apply here? Mr. Liu argued that the proviso only amended subsection (h), which makes sense. But if the intent of Congress was to provide a remedy to innocent victims of federal actions, could that be outdone by another subsection? Even though the proviso specifically states: “That, with regard to acts or omissions of investigative or law enforcement officers of the United States Government, the provisions of this chapter and section 1346(b) of this title shall apply?” Seems like the Eleventh Circuit is trying to undo the law made by Congress with grammatical legerdemain.

Conclusion

While there was a fairly wide-ranging discussion about the different proviso opinions, the arguments from the United States and the courts amici boil down to this.

It simply means that when the federal agents are performing their federal duties, the United States can’t be liable in money damages.

Martin v. United States – Oral Arguments

No matter what government actors do, according to the federal lawyers, no one can be held accountable for their bad actions, intentional or otherwise. However, as Mr. Jaicomo stated in his rebuttal.

As my friend said, the government’s policy is to raid the right house. They didn’t do that. The preparation is kind of immaterial to the ultimate result here.

If you really, really meant to drop the pizza off at the right address, it doesn’t matter, you still need to give a refund if you drop it off at the wrong address.

Martin v. United States – Oral Arguments

The intentions of the officers shouldn’t matter; they screwed-up, raided the wrong house, and terrorized the wrong family. Shouldn’t the government redress those grievances? According to the Eleventh Circuit, they cannot because of sovereign immunity. But as I’ve already shown, sovereign immunity is an antiquated concept incompatible with the Constitution.

Let’s start with the Supremacy Clause:

U.S. Constitution, Article VI, Clause 2

There is nothing in the Supremacy Clause to support the Eleventh Circuit’s contention that it prohibits lawsuits under the Federal Tort Claims Act. There is also no language in the Constitution that grants immunity for the acts of federal employees.

The Constitution is the supreme law of the land, not some government “sovereign.” Not even Congress can legally supersede the Constitution, since only laws made in pursuance of the Constitution are considered supreme. Which means that, while the FTCA is constitutional, the exceptions are not, because they violate the First Amendment.

Congress shall make no law … abridging … the right of the people … to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

U.S. Constitution, Amendment I

By abridging the right of the people to petition the government for a redress of their grievances, the exceptions in §2680 are unconstitutional, invalid, and void.

As usual, we’ll have to wait and see how the court decides this case. If it were only a question of the law and the Constitution, it’d be easy to predict. However, as we’ve seen so often with this and other courts, it’s less a question of the law, and more a question of the mood of the justices.

Personally, while I find the actions of the FBI both negligent and reprehensible, the actions of the District and Circuit courts are irresponsible, culpable, and impeachable. Those judges took an oath to support the Constitution, an oath they denigrated with their vile abuse of power.

Graveyards Filled With Tombstones, Waiting For Names

By Rob Pue

June 29, 2025

Recently, I spoke to you about worry and fear — the “fear mongering” that’s propagated by the media, which Christians seem to crave so much. It seems Christians, especially, seek out and eat up the bad news of war, pestilence, and imminent threats to our homeland and all of mankind.

Yes, God’s Word does speak of a time of great tribulation, which the world has never seen before, coming in the last days. And Christians love to see the prophecies of the Bible fulfilled in our time, because they desperately long for Christ’s second coming, when true justice will be meted out and Christians will be welcomed into God’s everlasting kingdom. Then, “God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”

Of course, we all long for that time. Yet no one knows the day or the hour of Christ’s return. And I reiterate that as Christ-followers, our job is not to sit back and wait for the “rapture” but rather to be about our Father’s business every day, doing His will and following His commandments, occupying until He returns, serving as a restraining force against evil and wickedness. Far fewer Christians are willing to do any of that. It seems they’d rather just let wickedness prevail and cheer it on as the world spirals into an inevitable time of great tribulation.

There was a time in this nation when we feared the Lord. “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.” This doesn’t mean that we were afraid of Him, but rather that we had reverence and awe of His mighty power, His creation of this world and the sustenance He provided, as well as every single blessing He chose to bestow upon us — as a nation and as families and individuals.

Today, that fear of the Lord is gone. The vast majority of our people no longer even consider God throughout the whole of their lives. Others, who attend church weekly and consider themselves to be “faithful Christians” know very little about Him, and their “worship” is often in vain. They gather together in the “safe spaces” of their “holy huddles,” rarely, if ever, impacting the world. Their “faith” never leaves the church building. They never open their mouths in public to correct lies, object to our Lord’s name being used as a curse word, and they do not instruct their children according to God’s commandments.

Marriages and families become dysfunctional because the one key component to build such a firm foundation for life and future generations is never even spoken of — God almighty. Ineffectual “prayers” may be offered at holiday meal times, but there’s no relationship with Jesus, and certainly no serious fear of the Lord — there is no reverence and awe left, for the most part, even among professing Christians. Most families no longer have home Bible study or prayer times. Children today don’t even really understand what a church building is used for, and church-goers don’t understand that the “Church” is not a building.

We shouldn’t be ignorant of current world events in the news. But we also shouldn’t be so gleeful when we see destruction coming upon the earth at a record pace. Certainly, we cannot and will not change what God chooses to do, nor can we change His divine timeline of events in this world. But at the very least, we can pray fervently, without ceasing. And also, at the very least, for those of us who name the name of Christ, we can be salt and light in this world, rather than cowardly — more worried about what people will think of us or say about us or how they’ll treat us, if we were to open our mouths to speak the truth, share our testimonies and the Gospel of our Savior.

The end will come someday, but that will really only be the beginning. When we enter into eternity, that will be a day of reckoning for all mankind. Every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Many today are eager for a wholesale “rapture” and many have a terribly wrong spirit regarding those who are lost. They look forward to the evil men and women in this world who will spend eternity in hell. Some are well known figures on the world stage. Others are those within peoples’ own families and communities. They refuse to do anything to snatch those lost souls from the claws of the devil. They refuse to be watchmen on the wall, speaking truth and warning of the urgent need for repentance and reverence for God. The blood of the lost will be on their hands.

And even as so many now look forward to the “last day,” sitting back and waiting to meet the Lord in the air, they’re oblivious to the fact that for at least 200,000 people, today is their “last day.” Every day, 200,000 people depart this world — some professing Christians, and some not. Today, for those who pass away, there are no more opportunities to repent. No more opportunities to have a relationship with Jesus. No more opportunities to “get right with God.” God Himself will one day close the door of this “ark” we’re living in, in these earthly bodies, and the time of salvation will have passed.

Does this not concern you? When your time comes — whether it be at the end of your earthly life, or whether that Great and Terrible Day of the Lord comes first — what fruit will you have to show for your time here? Will you have even a single crown, earned in this life, to cast before the heavenly throne? Or will you hear those terrible words, “depart from Me, you workers of iniquity. I never knew you?”

Please friends, grasp the gravity of your current situation. If you think your Christian walk is “good enough,” and that God will understand why you were too ashamed of Him to represent Him as an appointed ambassador on this earth, you’re wrong. If you’re in an ineffectual “church” where you’re never trained up for the work of the ministry, and taught how to go out of that building and make disciples, and encouraged — even required — to do so, you’re in an apostate “church.” God is not pleased. Vain prayers and obligatory religious rituals do not make you a child of the Most High.

The pastors in this nation have so much power, so much ability to effect real, positive change. They have a captive audience every week. They know the Scriptures (or at least they should), yet they’re afraid to speak the whole counsel of God for fear of offending lost sinners. And so, we have innocent blood on our hands; our children are driven to madness and suicide; our marriages and families are broken and our nation is in chaos and turmoil. The vast majority of our modern American churches are nothing more than social clubs where people go to be mesmerized by the so-called “praise choruses,” entertained by motivational speakers and then fattened up on pot-luck dinners, resulting in lazy, complacent false converts with pot bellies.

And as so many professing Christians continue to “salivate” at the idea of World War 3, now I’m seeing a great many almost “gleeful” over the recent American bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities. And wars and rumors of wars continue. Wars have been going on the whole of my life, all throughout the world. We’ve learned nothing from history, nor have we come to understand that the only ones that “win” any of these wars are those invested in the weapons of war.

We were duped into the “Korean conflict.” Again, in Vietnam. Again, in Iraq and Afghanistan. You know, the Soviet Union was at war in Afghanistan for ten years, from 1979 to 1989 and then they pulled out, because it was a lost cause. Not to be outdone, America waged war in Afghanistan for twenty years, and then finally pulled out, defeated, leaving a treasure trove of weapons — along with American citizens — behind.

In 1979 we had the “Iran Crisis.” Yes, Iran has been an avowed enemy of the US for nearly fifty years. The “Iran Crisis” lasted 444 days, as Iran held 52 American hostages. Ted Koppel can thank the “Iran Crisis” for his career, which began in earnest with his nightly special reports. When the hostages were released, the day Ronald Reagan took office in 1980, those reports became the ABC late night news program “Nightline,” which aired for 25 years.

The government of Iran has hated America ever since. School children in Iran are required to trample the American flag every morning as they enter school and then chant “Death to America” on a daily basis. This has been going on for fifty years.

Today we have an unnecessary war with Ukraine and Russia. That should have never happened, but the military industrial complex requires endless wars. Now we have European nations — along with the US — feeding the military industrial complex machine in that conflict. But still, not enough blood has been shed. We also have Russia, China, North Korea and Iran — along with all the Islamic nations of the world coming together against Israel, and the US as its proxy.

Here in America, many of our people are so insane, they’re siding with our avowed enemies. Especially our young people, and the Liberal Leftist cult. They’ve been taught for years to despise our American history and heritage. They may as well be chanting “Death to America” and trampling our flag like Iranian school kids. And many of them are.

I had hoped that Donald Trump would take a “hands off” approach to world affairs and focus on rebuilding our own nation. We have no business meddling in the situation with Ukraine and Russia. We have no business fanning the flames of war in the middle east any longer. If we were to remove the American influence from these wars, hostilities would quickly end. But the banker boys and the Military Industrial Complex need the endless wars to continue. There’s big money to be made there — and both Democrat and Republican politicians have invested heavily in the companies that manufacture weapons of war, weapons of mass destruction.

One might argue that bombing three nuclear weapons facilities in Iran was a good thing. Only God knows what Iran would have done — or may still do — as they continue hostilities worldwide. The demonic angel known as the “Prince of Persia” is still active, and hatred continues to boil over in that region. A spokesperson for Iran has vowed that 50,000 Americans will return home in coffins because of this recent attack on their nuclear facilities.

Let me ask you some questions. These are not original to me. “How many times must the cannonballs fly, before they’re forever banned?” “How many years can some people exist, before they’re allowed to be free?” “How many times can a man turn his head, and pretend that he just doesn’t see?” “Yes, and how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?” “Yes, and how many deaths will it take ‘til he knows that too many people have died?”

Wars will continue because the politicians and weapons manufacturers want the money. Should we not defend the helpless and oppressed? Of course we should, but that’s not what any of this is really about. And if we’re so concerned about the oppressed, we should begin in our own nation, on our own soil. There’s been enough bloodshed. We have graveyards filled with tombstones, just waiting for the names.

The fear mongers in the media are now speculating that Iran or another foreign enemy may destroy America with a nuclear explosion or bring down our entire grid with an EMP blast. Fear not, friends. The kings and rulers of the earth didn’t spend all that money building the 5- and 6-G — and now the AI — infrastructure just to allow it to be destroyed.

There may be some “false flag” attacks here on American soil, but they’ll be limited in scope. They don’t want a desolate wasteland as their spoils of war. They want our digital infrastructure intact so our survivors can be easily controlled with technology.

I’d be more concerned about retaliation from the sleeper cells of Islamic terrorists and military-age illegals from enemy nations around the world — you know, the ones I’ve been warning about for years now. They weren’t all given free cell phones as they freely invaded our country so they could call their Grandmas back home.

We’ve managed to make enemies around the world, but now those enemies are inside our gates, and one day, perhaps soon, those phones are going to ring. And all those who’ve profited from the deaths of millions overseas all these years will come to understand just what they have done. That’s what I predict is coming to America, but don’t live your lives in fear of what might happen. Instead, fear the Lord and seek His wisdom and be about your Father’s business. While there’s still time.

Call To Action Florida! Help Spotlight Dark Money In The State

By Kat Stansell

June 28, 2025

You Can Help To Shine The Light of Truth on Fake Republicans

Citizens of Florida are organizing to put a halt to millions of dollars of donations dropped into the “PAC monster” with no accountability or sourcing. A PAC is, of course, a Political Action Committee, and whether you hear “PC” or PAC”, they are one and the same. They are a nearly endless source of money donated without records of benefactors and amounts, and utilized by politicians and their chosen organizations to fund Tallahassee’s agenda.

Increasingly, Tallahassee’s agenda is NOT that of its citizens. This is true of Fake Republicans, aka RINO’s, around the country. Our Republic must have our help to stay free.

Brevard County, Florida, has taken the lead. They were one of at least seven counties that received Fake Voter Guides in the 2024 primary elections in the state.. The others include Hillsborough, Lake, Manatee, St. Johns, St. Lucie, and Sarasota. These “guides”, pictured above, were blatant lies and were neither endorsed by Trump, nor did those candidates listed support America First policies. They caused great confusion among voters last August, and were responsible for the election of more than one candidate which dances to the song of the Totalitarians.

Alan Ross from Brevard, is the organizer of a website, UltraMAGAPatriots.com, the mission of which is to “restore our Republic where our government is responsible solely to “We the People” of the United States, and to stop the Global elites from the local, state and national levels. “We are conservative men and women of faith who love our families, our neighbors, and our Country.” These are the people who will save our nation; Donald Trump cannot do it all.

To take back our country every Patriot must volunteer and get into the fight at their local county level. We suggest that they read the Precinct Strategy (https://www.precinctstrategy.com) and then become involved with their local county Republican Executive Committee or Republican Party. We believe the Republican National Committee and its state Committees have failed us. So many of our elected county, state and federal officials have failed us. Our side, the Republican side is the biggest problem we face.

The first goal of the group is to get the public educated about what is happening. Second, the group hopes to attract a network of broadcasters, journalists, podcasters and social media influencers who will help to get the message out. This is only the beginning and this group needs itself duplicated all over America. Florida is just a good example, NOT the endgame.

Since DeSantis became Governor in 2018 (by a .04% margin), the use of these dark monies has skyrocketed. These are the dollars which fill the legislators’ campaign accounts and fund programs AGAINST the citizens. You know, like Fake Voter Guides, radioactive roadways, and disenfranchising America First citizens, to name but a few.

One of the biggest issues is future plans for Florida’s energy sources, which will cost the ratepayers in the state an additional tens of billions for less energy. Tallahassee has joined the Globalists in pushing for solar and all that it entails, to the detriment of Clean, Abundant, Reliable and Affordable resources NOW IN USE, at billions less in costs.

The Republican Party of Florida has become, under Governor Little Guy, a nearly totalitarian institution. Newly elected members who are chosen by their constituents to clean up Tallahassee, are sidelined from committee assignments and meetings IF they make it through elections.

County officials, duly elected by their peers, are unconstitutionally removed from office. The RPOF is suing Republican organizations. For being Republican.

Forget the false claims by DeSantis that he has “made Florida RED AGAIN”. The shade of red coming from his administration is the one that is used to describe Communism.

What Floridians, of both parties must now do, is work in every county in the state, to expose sources and uses of these funds. This invitation is open to all who value their freedom, regardless of those old outdated party labels, “R” and “D”. The only other choice is to lose our Republic to Communism, and that is where Tallahassee is headed. Recently, June 16 – 18, DeSantis has been in France at the Florida Governor Ron DeSantis led an international trade and business development mission to France from June 16 to June 18, 2025. The purpose was to promote Florida as a global hub for aerospace, aviation, defense, and emerging technologies, and to expand trade and investment opportunities for businesses interested in Florida markets.

Two questions here:

First, who is paying for this and why? Why now? Did DeGov run to a Globalist “safer space” when war with Iran was threatening? Remember, he is VERY bad at spontaneous situations.

Second, What will all this industry you hope to attract, use for power??

PLEASE, go to the website, Ultramagapatriots.com.

You will find excellent data, and be able to learn more of what you and your neighbors can do. Florida has a dangerous Governor and a lot of FAKE REPUBLICANS in office.

That same situation is replicated in a great number of states in the nation. Only the citizens can expose and stop them, before dark monies are controlling every decision which belong to the People, and we, the people no longer have the freedom to decide..

FBI Must Arrest, and Convict Traitors Funding the Insurrection or be Disbanded

By Andrew Wallace

June 28, 2025

Our country barely exists because the FBI was never an honest law enforcement organization. It has been corrupt since its inception more than 100 years ago (part of the Coup of 1913). I first came in contact with the FBI about 70 years ago as a State Trooper, when they took credit for many of our arrests. The FBI was great at public relations, but they were only lawyers and accountants wanting to take over police powers of the states. Congress passes unconstitutional laws to give the FBI the ability to usurp lawful state police powers (see Enumerated Powers). During their entire existence, they have ignored their sworn duties and participated in the lawlessness and treason in the Federal establishment.

Our Federal Establishment is corrupt to the core, and the corrupt FBI is responsible for not prosecuting those in Congress and the Bureaucrats in the Administrative State for all manner of crimes and treason. But the FBI was complicit, incompetent, and worthless, allowing and promoting all manner of crimes within the Federal Establishment and against the people. They are also accomplished professionals at framing innocent people. It is impossible to have a Constitutional Republic with a corrupt FBI and Federal Income taxes that reverses the roles of the states and Federal Establishment (which is not a lawful government of the People…the states are).

The founders knew what they were doing when they specified in the Constitution that the laws of the union would be enforced by the Militia of the Several States. But Congress passed the unconstitutional Dick Act, transferring the Militia into the National Guard. The officers of the Militia are appointed by the states, making corruption more difficult. With these words in the Constitution, I fail to see any lawful support for the FBI’s creation or existence. Contrary to ACTUAL practice, Congress CANNOT pass laws not authorized by the Enumerated Powers in the Constitution. Period.

So far as I can determine, the FBI was never serious about keeping government officials or others honest, because they were so deeply involved in the corruption themselves, big time.

I reiterate my well-founded opinion that the FBI is directly or indirectly responsible for the destruction of the Constitutional Republic.

Presidents can appoint only a few members of government, while the majority in government (the Federal Establishment) do as they please.

Somehow the Elected Officials and Bureaucrats must understand and believe that if they steal, take kickbacks or bribes, they are going to prison.

Elected officials who vote for unconstitutional laws or fund wars without a Declaration of War are guilty of treason and should be hanged.

Public examples of such necessary punishment are required to instill confidence and hope in the public. Nothing motivates better than public hanging of Traitors. There should be a mandatory 20-year prison term for violating your oath by stealing from the government.

Thank you for reading. If you agree, please pass this on to your politicians. They should know that you think officials violating their oaths should be hanged for Treason, as declared in the Constitution.
God Bless You and the Republic

Nullifying the USA

By Lex Greene

June 28, 2025

How nullification really works

Patriotic groups across the USA have attempted to legislatively pass nullification bills at the State level for decades without a single success. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison were the first to attempt nullification resolutions from Virginia and Kentucky in 1798, just eleven years after the adoption of the Constitution, also without any success.

Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence and Madison is known as “the Father of the Constitution,” and even they failed in the effort.

Meanwhile, in the ongoing 24/7 soap opera that passes for “news” these days, As the Stomach Turns, everyone is busy nullifying each other and everything by simply ignoring and nullifying the laws and Constitution at will, without consequence.

The criminal sanctuary cities are nullifying Federal Immigration Laws and Enforcement by establishing “safe havens” for criminals in our country illegally, and erecting State and Local defenses against the Federal government trying to enforce those laws.

The Judicial branch has been busy trying to nullify the constitutional powers of the President, while the lower courts are trying to nullify the powers of the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court is trying to nullify the separate and coequal constitutional powers of the Legislative and Executive Branches. The Federal and State Agencies are trying to nullify parental rights under the 9th Amendment, and States Rights under the 10th Amendment.

City, State and Federal officials continue to try to nullify the 2nd Amendment, as well as the 1st Amendment and every other Amendment in the Bill of Rights.

Indeed, nullification is alive and well in the USA, just not via any legitimate legislative process.

In yet another glaring example of O’Biden judges gone wild, Massachusetts-based U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy even tries to nullify the U.S. Supreme Court as if his court is superior to the Supreme Court!

Finally, before closing this session, the Supreme Court put down the unconstitutional actions of O’Biden’s anti-American judges in a 6-3 decision just yesterday.

“The court’s decision did not determine whether President Donald Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order ran afoul of the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment. Instead, it found that the lower courts likely lacked the authority to impose universal injunctions and instead limited them to protect the plaintiff parties.

“The issuance of a universal injunction can be justified only as an exercise of equitable authority, yet Congress has granted federal courts no such power,” wrote Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett. Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch joined her opinion. Associate Justice Clarence Thomas concurred.” – SOURCE

Of course, the court was going to eventually rule this way, if for no other reason but to protect their own power and the top court in the country. This ruling confirms what I have been saying all along, these lower court O’Biden judges have no such authority and Trump has no legal, moral or ethical obligation to abide by any of the politically motivated efforts to usurp the Presidents authority from the bench!

The end result of it all is the nullification of the USA…by everyone refusing to abide by, uphold and defend the Supreme Law of our Land, the U.S. Constitution, to which every one of these criminals have taken an Oath.

New York Becomes London

By Lex Greene

June 27, 2025

In case you have not been paying attention, London has fallen. The massive influx of illegal Muslims to the city under socialist leaders in England has resulted in a complete Islamic takeover of England’s greatest city, London.

As of 2025, the most popular baby boy name in England and Wales is currently Muhammad, which has overtaken Noah this year. Soon, the same will be true in every democrat crime sanctuary across our country.

Like London, New York City in the USA is now a reported 40% Muslim population. Just this week, the New York Democrat Party nominated the first Muslim Socialist mayoral candidate in New York history, Zohran Mamdani.

One of the new Democrat Party tactics used to seat the most extreme left people in power is to flood the primaries with numerous candidates, then use a “rank choice” voting system to advance their chosen socialist candidate.

Democrats had over nine candidates in this mayoral primary, which allowed them to drain votes away from Cuomo, making room via a rank choice process for Muslim Socialist Zohran Mamdani to emerge as the party’s candidate with only 43.5% of the vote.

Andrew Cuomo, Zohran Mamdani, Brad Lander, Adrienne Adams, Scott Stringer, Jessica Ramos, Zellnor Myrie, Michael Blake, Whitney Tilson

Lander, Adams and Stringer garnered a combined total of 17% of the vote, leaving Cuomo with only 36.4% of the vote and conceding the race to Muslim Socialist Zohran Mamdani. It makes one wonder if Cuomo could have finished with more than 50% of the vote, had rank choice voting and too many hats in the ring not been used to advance Mamdani.

In other words, 56.5% of New Yorker democrats voted against Mamdani, but they will be stuck with him anyway!

FYI…any government not elected by a majority of its legal citizens, is not a “democracy.,” nor is it “constitutional” much less a Republican form of government.

Unfortunately, it appears that the New York Republican Party isn’t even going to seriously challenge Mamdani in the general election. As of today, the only Republican running against the Muslim socialist is Curtis Sliwa, known around town for many years now as a citizen activist for the city.

This is how the Democrat Party has turned numerous red states blue by simply taking over the major population centers in a state, via hook, crook, fraud and dirty election tactics and systems.

Literally speaking, there are no “blue states.” There are only huge blue cities that control otherwise red states from the leftist mob tactics like we are watching in L.A., NYC, Boston and Portland, just to name a few. You can see this clearly in every county-by-county presidential election map in history, with more than 85% of the counties across the country RED, including throughout the so-called “blue states.”

Aljazeera is proudly reporting, New York’s Likely Next Mayor.

It reminds me of the time when a Kenyan News Outlet proudly celebrated “the first U.S. Senator from Kenya, Barack Hussein Obama” in 2004. Of course, by 2008, Obama denied being Kenyan and claimed to be a “natural born Citizen of the USA,” providing three different fake Hawaiian birth certifications to falsely prove it, each confirmed by Democrat Nancy Pelosi.

Our country has been driven towards the pits of hell ever since…and the blue cities are taking us there in a rush!

Unless Trump gets as busy “draining the swamp” as he was to swiftly and decisively end nuclear proliferation in Iran, New York City, every blue “crime sanctuary” and the whole country is about to fold like a cheap lawn chair…

New York will look just like London very soon!

The Prophecy of Elam (Iran)

By George Lujack

June 27, 2025

On Sunday, June 22, 2025, the United States Air Force and Navy attacked three nuclear facilities in Iran under the codename Operation Midnight Hammer, as part of the Iran–Israel war.

This attack marks the beginning of the latter-day judgment of Elam (present-day Iran), as recorded by the prophet Jeremiah.

JEREMIAH 49:34-39 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:

The word of YHWH (the Lord) that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam [IRAN], in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,

“Thus says YHWH (the Lord) of hosts: Behold, I will break the bow [NUCLEAR POWER CAPABILITIES] of Elam [IRAN], the foremost of their [MILITARY] might.

Against Elam [IRAN] I will bring [AMERICAN AND ISRAELI MILITARY FORCES FROM] the four winds from the four quarters of heaven [THE SKY], and scatter them [IRANIAN REFUGEES] towards all those winds; and there shall be no nation where the outcasts [REFUGEES] of Elam [IRAN] will not go. For I will cause Elam [IRAN] to be dismayed before their enemies and before those who seek their life. I will bring disaster upon them [IRANIAN MILITARY FORCES], My fierce anger,” says YHWH (the Lord); “And I will send the sword [AMERICAN AND ISRAELI MILITARY FORCES] after them [IRANIAN MILITARY FORCES] until I have consumed them.

I will set My throne in Elam [IRAN], and will destroy from there the king and the princes,’ says YHWH (the Lord).

But it shall come to pass in the LATTER DAYS: I will bring back the captives [REFUGEES] of Elam [IRAN],” says YHWH (the Lord).

Upon the completion of the successful June 22, 2025, Operation Midnight Hammer mission, U.S. President Donald Trump addressed the nation and declared, “Now is the time for peace.” President Trump further stated, “Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do not, future attacks will be far greater – and a lot easier.”

The prophecy of Jeremiah 49:34-39 declares that Elam, modern-day Iran, will not make peace and will be devastated in future attacks led by the U.S. and Israel.

Call To Action Florida! Help To Shine The Light on Fake Republicans

Kat Stansell

June 26, 2025

Increasingly, Tallahassee’s agenda is NOT that of its citizens. This is true of Fake Republicans, aka RINOS, around the country. Our Republic must have our help to stay free.

County officials, duly elected by their peers, are unconstitutionally removed from office. The RPOF is suing Republican organizations. For being Republican.

Forget the false claims by DeSantis that he has “made Florida RED AGAIN”. The shade of red coming from his administration is the one that is used to describe Communism.

What Floridians, of both parties must now do, is work in every county in the state, to expose sources and uses of these funds. This invitation is open to all who value their freedom, regardless of those old outdated party labels, “R” and “D”. The only other choice is to lose our Republic to Communism, and that is where Tallahassee is headed. Recently, June 16 – 18, DeSantis has been in France at the Florida Governor Ron DeSantis led an international trade and business development mission to France from June 16 to June 18, 2025. The purpose was to promote Florida as a global hub for aerospace, aviation, defense, and emerging technologies, and to expand trade and investment opportunities for businesses interested in Florida markets.

Two questions here::

First, who is paying for this and why? Why now? Did DeGov run to a Globalist “safer space” when war with Iran was threatening? Remember, he is VERY bad at spontaneous situations.

Second, What will all this industry you hope to attract, use for power??

PLEASE, go to the website, Ultramagapatriots.com.

You will find excellent data, and be able to learn more of what you and your neighbors can do. Florida has a dangerous Governor and a lot of FAKE REPUBLICANS in office.

Dingbats In Congress: We Need IQ Tests For Our Elected Officials

By Frosty Wooldridge

June 26, 2025

If you search the Internet as to the collective IQ’s of countries around the world, you’ll notice that the most successful countries enjoy average IQ’s over one-hundred. The further down the intelligence quotient ladder you descend, the worse the conditions of that country.

You may check the collective IQ of every country in the world.

If you look at the Republic of Congo, you see their population averages 63. Somalia averages 67.7. China enjoys 107. Guinea 53.5. United States at 99.7. Most of Canada, Australia and Europe at 100 plus.

When you look at all the countries of the world, it’s a good bet that the most successful countries enjoy an average IQ of over 100. The lower down the scale, the lesser the quality of life, the lesser their standards, the lesser their education levels, and the worse the general lives of the citizens of that country.

As an educator in the early 1970’s through the 1990’s, I taught in the inner city to discover that IQ made all the difference in the world as to the engagement of the parents and the success of their children. College educated parents engaged their kids in school, and attended parent teacher meetings. High school dropout kids’ parents could not be bothered.

After fleeing the inner city, I taught in an average middle class school system in Denver. Many of the kids arrived from college educated parents. Others enjoyed high school educated parents.

High-performing students enjoyed incredible comprehension of math, science, chemistry, algebra, history and language. Their IQ’s ran from 105 (bright) to 120 (very bright). Several of my students over the years enjoyed over 130 IQ’s. With each point in IQ, the student commanded all subjects and enjoyed top grades. They advanced to successful lives.

Is it fair that some are smart while others struggle? That’s the way it is in academics. It’s the same in athletics. Those 6’6” basketball players are the ones that win scholarships. Those 6’6” and 250 pound linebackers enjoy free college educations. The fastest track students also enjoy scholarships. Top swimmers that fly through the pool waters enjoy the Olympics and a free ride through college.

It’s the same in the movies. Brad Pitt’s handsome good looks landed him a fabulous life in Hollywood with leading ladies. Marilyn Monroe remains an icon 60 years after her death. Buxom and dazzling good looks gave her an amazing life.

To be sure, life is unfair as it doles out good looks and bodies to some people, but the rest of us must deal with our average brains, average bodies and average lives. Thankfully, we live in America or Western free countries where you may seize equal opportunity because of free enterprise and creativity. Many times, “effort and gumption” trump brain power.

But when it comes to politics here in the United States, we’re got to do something about electing dingbats and gross incompetence among those who are charged with making our laws.

Right now, for 2028, democrats are promoting for president of the USA, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, (D-NY), a totally intellectually vacant dingbat in the House of Representatives. Her district is decimated with crime, drugs, illegals, trash, rats, unemployment and filth. She couldn’t pass an 9th grade Algebra I class if her life depended on it. If you look at her podcasts, you see someone as self-absorbed and dumb as a turtle on a fencepost. She’s on that fencepost, but no one knows how she got there.

Then you’ve got another dingbat in Jasmine Crockett, (D-TX) in the House of Representatives. She’s being touted as AOC’s running mate. Like AOC, this lady is dumber than a fencepost. And yet, democrats are promoting her to become VP for the 2028 presidential ticket with AOC. May the Good Lord help us if those two ever reached the White House.

One look at California and you’ve got 30-year veteran in the House, Maxine Waters, the dingbat of dingbats, who does nothing for over 175,000 homeless in her district, and not one single solution to California’s unbelievable nightmare of drugs, illegals, crime, failing schools and sheer breakdown of society.

One look at the foreign dingbat of the year with a documented IQ of 67.7 is Somalian born Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who immigrated to America, married her brother, cheated our immigration laws, and yet, she’s in the House of Representatives as she subverts our Constitution. That lady stated that we are the worst country in the world. She represents 125,000 other Somalians with an average IQ of 67.7. Over 90 percent of them are still on welfare after 10 years in America. They lack any drive to become educated because they simply lack the intelligence to care about education.

One look at Hank Johnson, (D-GA), shows you a dingbat who stated on the Congressional Record that the Island of Guam would tip over if too many more people ran to one side of the island. Last week, he pretended to play a guitar and sing about impeaching Trump for destroying Iran’s ability to build nuclear bombs. Johnson should be impeached for being so stupid that he doesn’t know that he’s THAT stupid. He couldn’t pass a 6th grade geography course. Yet, he’s voting on laws that affect all Americans.

Yes, there are another dozen U.S. Senators and House Members that are as useless as lipstick on a pig…but they show their stupidities, and incompetent uselessness at every juncture. Either they are dumb, or stupid, or useless because of their low IQ’s. Or their stupidity by adhering to their liberal ideology.

Therefore, we need to pass a bill in Congress that anyone running for highest offices in the land needs at least a 105 to 110 IQ in order to comprehend what’s going on in the world. That way, we would stand a chance that our elected officials actually know what they are doing. Again, the most successful countries enjoy higher IQ’s throughout their common citizens.

When it comes to mass immigration out of those third world countries, we would be much wiser to accept only individuals with minimum IQ’s of 100 or higher.

We also need to accept people with compatible cultural and religious backgrounds that are in line with our country.

Otherwise, we’re seeing our standards dumbed down. We’re talking about standards of hygiene, personal grooming, and pride in self. Have you seen teen suicide rates lately? We’re seeing our schools dumbed down to the point of illiteracy for millions of kids. We’re seeing the quality of our work spiraling down the drain. We’re seeing a loss of pride and loyalty to our country. We’re seeing a breakdown in the cohesiveness of the fabric of America.

If you disagree with this commentary, please give me some ideas on how we can make America better. How can we escape dingbats like AOC, Maxine Waters, Rashida Tlaib, Hank Johnson, Jasmine Crockett and many more? Would you not agree that we need academic standards and IQ tests passed by our national leaders. Or, do you want dumb people managing our national affairs?

Trump-Haters Now Love Trump

By Cliff Kincaid

June 25, 2025

When the Trump-hating The Atlantic magazine runs a piece praising Trump, you know something is very strange and seriously wrong. Eliot A. Cohen’s article on the Iran war, “Trump Got This One Right,” is fascinating for many reasons that ought to concern constitutional conservatives. One danger is that President Trump will continue to want to please those who hate him.

Another danger, of course, is that the piece constitutes disinformation, designed to confuse people about what the military strikes by Israel and the United States accomplished, and to encourage deeper U.S. involvement in another Middle East war.

Cohen defends Trump’s Iran strike and war on the Mullahs for their “dangerous” nuclear programs. He admits North Korea has one as well but he skips over that.

A contributing writer at The Atlantic who is professor emeritus at Johns Hopkins University, he doesn’t seem to care about the lack of constitutional justification for the strike on Iran. Cohen mentions the regime’s hatred of Israel and America and killing of Americans in the past, but fails to make the case for a declaration of war against the regime based on these facts. He just assumes the president can do anything he likes, including the “acts of war” against Iran.

Those who argue for congressional involvement are identified as “right-wing isolationists.” He adds, “The isolationist wing of the MAGA movement was smacked down.”

In fact, the MAGA movement was about staying out of foreign wars. This one was started by Israel and the U.S. got involved anyway.

But Cohen has a point here. What has happened to MAGA? This was a movement that is supposed to survive the Trump presidency. Instead, Trump has undercut it. He has changed it. It has become neo-conservative in its orientation.

Cohen claims Iran’s “nuclear fangs have been pulled,” despite the lack of evidence for this claim. He claims Iran won’t have a nuclear option for five or ten years. Again, he offers no evidence for this claim.

General Dan Caine declared, “Final battle damage will take some time, but initial battle damage assessments indicate that all three sites sustained extremely severe damage and destruction.” That is not the same thing as “obliteration,” as Trump claimed.

There is no evidence the Iranian nuclear materials were even in those three sites.

It looks like Trump ordered the strike without any U.S. intelligence information that Iran had a bomb. He relied on Israel. The evidence is still secret.

Trump’s announced “ceasefire” between Israel and Iran, not immediately confirmed, ignores the role of the United States under President Trump in going to war in the absence of U.S. Congressional approval.

Equally significant, if there is a ceasefire, the war has been concluded without total victory. The “ceasefire” saves the Iranian regime from destruction, even though Trump had himself suggested regime change in Tehran.

I am forced to conclude that this is a time-saving mechanism for Iran to regroup and reconstitute its nuclear weapons program, this time with overt Russian and Chinese assistance.

So the danger remains and could in fact accelerate.

This is another limited war, conducted on an illegal and unconstitutional basis, which offers false hope.

Iran’s sponsors and backers in Moscow and Beijing understand this is the perfect time to step back and assess the damage to its client state in Iran and save the Mullahs to fight another day.

Meanwhile, the MAGA movement must review this episode to see whether it will hold their president accountable for what he said on the campaign trail.

It is possible the United States emerges from this illegal and unconstitutional military intervention without any loss of life involving its soldiers or civilians, although the Russians may have other ideas, and they may decide to unleash Iranian terror cells against America.

This is one fact we must acknowledge – that the Iranian regime is weak and now even more susceptible to Russian (and Chinese) influence and control.

Whatever happens, and despite the gloating after the “ceasefire,” the danger is still ongoing and will accelerate.

This is not a “victory” over Iran because there is no surrender.

But assuming there is some time to reflect on what happened, rather become cheerleaders for the war, the Congress must get back to the matter of representing the American people, who elected a president who vowed not to be a “warmonger.”

One thing I have learned is that partisan considerations determine many reactions to what is going on in the world. Many in MAGA suddenly became pro-war because their hero Donald J. Trump joined the war on behalf of Israel.

I, too, wanted Israel to win the war, but without American direct involvement. And if American involvement was to be necessary or required, the Congress was obligated to debate and vote on that proposal. None of that happened.

The Compassion & Mercy Of The State On Full Display

By Bradlee Dean

June 25, 2025

“Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.” -Adam Smith

If you lack understanding or discernment in righteous judgment, this article is for you.

In Mark 7:8-9, Jesus rebuked the Pharisees (religious hypocrites) for making man’s commandments (policies) the standard while making God’s to be void (laws and statutes).

Disobedience and rebellion towards the Lord’s commands went on then just as they are on full display in America, today. They are guilty as charged in taking heed to the commandments of men.

The month of June has been declared by the corrupt within the church and the state to be “Pride” month.

Did you know that in every state of our union (Read all 50 of the state preambles), sodomy, homosexuality, and lesbianism are called in state statutes “crimes against nature”?

Did you also know that the Lawgiver, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord on high, has deemed the above crimes to be an abomination (Leviticus 18:22, 20:13; Romans 1:26; Jude 1:7)?

In spite of the Lawgiver, the said representatives, in both federal and state governments, have rendered God’s Law null in void by undermining it and then establishing what He clearly condemns in its place.

Have you taken the time to see the crimes that are committed under the guise of these homosexuals playing the victims?

The Child Trafficking Documentary Some In Congress Did Not Want You to See

I, For One, Will NOT Stand Down On WHAT Is Called The “Pride” Agenda

As you can see, they are clearly not the victims, they are the predators. This is the very reason the Lord labeled them an abomination, and an abomination they are!

Do not overlook the fact that these are the same ones that advocate for men dressing up as women and preying on the children in local libraries, boys pretending to be girls in girls’ sports, and men using women’s bathrooms. The state kidnaps children in instances where the boy wants to be a girl and the girl wants to be a boy in defiance of the Law and the parents’ instruction. Remember, the state has NO children. Yet, the state assumes authority that has never been delegated to them.

Instead of the Laws being enforced (their sworn oaths; Numbers 30:2; Deuteronomy 23:23) by our said representatives, they attempt to enforce that which is unconstitutional and unlawful.

In fact, some states are now resurrecting the death penalty for crimes committed against the children. Read Exodus 22:22-24, 1 Timothy 1:9 and Luke 17:2.

Now, let me give you some links as an exhibition and display of their compassion toward the innocent by directing you to my home state that is attempting to normalize the crimes of those that the Lord has condemned (Proverbs 17:15). They call it what they deem to be “compassion.”

In Minnesota, “predatory address guide” refers to the registered addresses of individuals convicted of certain predatory offenses, primarily sex offenses. These individuals are required by law to register their addresses and other information with local law enforcement.

Registration Requirement: Since 1991, predatory offenders in Minnesota have been required to register their addresses with law enforcement under Minnesota Statute 243.166.
Purpose of Registration: The registration system helps law enforcement agencies track the location and activities of predatory offenders and protect public safety.
Community Notification: Minnesota’s Community Notification Act, passed in 1996, allows law enforcement agencies to inform the public about predatory offenders living in their communities. This helps communities take precautions and develop plans to protect themselves and their children.
Information Registered: Predatory offenders must register various details, including physical characteristics, home address, alternate addresses, phone numbers, employment information and address, school information (if enrolled), and vehicle information.
Maintaining the Registry: The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) maintains the Predatory Offender Registry.
Information Availability: While the Minnesota Predatory Offender Registry information is generally not public, there are exceptions for certain levels of offenders.
Failure to Register: Failing to register or providing inaccurate information can result in criminal charges, including felony-level charges.
Verification: Law enforcement agencies recommend verifying the addresses of offenders living in their community.

In summary, the “predatory address guide” in Minnesota essentially refers to the system and regulations surrounding the registration and potential community notification of the addresses of individuals convicted of certain predatory offenses, aimed at enhancing public safety.

This is established to warn the communities that after the predator is released from prison., if he gets that far, that the people are made aware of his presence in making their children an open prey.

Remember, there is a 74% recidivism rate in this country.

In 1961, this video was shown to high schoolers in California.

In conclusion, some have asked, “Bradlee, where is the mercy and compassion?” In response, I say, “Yes, where is it?”

In wickedly departing from the Lord and His Laws, people in this country have shown more mercy, as they call it, to the guilty than showing mercy to the innocent in their tolerance of these abominable criminals.

Mercy to the wicked is cruelty to the innocent!

Trump Administration Advocates for Nuclear Power

Co-authored by Ronald Stein, Oliver Hemmers, and Steve Curtis

June 24, 2025

Affordable and reliable electricity from nuclear power sources is a necessity to ensure future balanced economic growth that is a lifeline out of poverty, and security for citizens around the world.

While we have seen the acceptance and advancement of nuclear power explode in the United States just over the last year or so, the recent executive orders issued by President Trump have added a strong endorsement of nuclear power.

Reading through these executive orders, it seems that there are clear commitments to remove the roadblocks that are slowing down progress in the name of safety.

The primary roadblock over the last 50 years has been the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) with its 3,000 employees. In addition to the $1 billion allocated in the Federal budget, at least 80% of the NRC budget is funded by fees paid by applicants for licensure, which amount to $300 per hour.

The tenor of the Order is to impel the NRC to establish procedures to ensure that new reactor applications are processed to completion in 18 months (or less) while renewal applications take 12 months (or less). These are ambitious culture changes for the organization, especially since they are ordered to do so while reducing staff. No agency of the US Government likes to reduce staff and, indeed, the NRC will claim that such an accomplishment is too onerous to achieve. Nothing new here. It remains to be seen whether the executive order is robustly enforced.

The Navy’s seven-decade safety track record with nuclear-generated electricity to support national security began before the establishment of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and its subsequent regulatory framework. Commercial nuclear power plants utilize the light water reactor design, pioneered by the US Navy. All submarines and aircraft carriers are powered by nuclear energy. Operating more than 80 nuclear-powered ships, the United States Navy is currently the largest naval force in the world.

Nuclear power reactors remain the safest industry, by far, in the US and around the world. In fact, no person has been hurt by the normal operations of any commercial nuclear power plant anywhere in the world in almost 7 decades (Three Mile Island and Fukushima accidents hurt nobody, and Chernobyl was not under “normal operations” when it catastrophically failed).

Given this safety record, it would seem very easy for the NRC to establish a process to certify systems that are already so safe. It begs the question of why we need the NRC at all. The point is that nuclear safety should be viewed under the scrutiny of a long record of safe operation, not by the myopic view imposed when very little operational data was available. This is especially true during a time when many people claim to want “clean air” and the demand for reliable electricity is expected to ramp up to unprecedented levels. We will now discuss the first of the recently published nuclear power executive orders.

NuScale, the only company successful in attaining a license for a Small Modular Reactor, expended 10 years and $500 million to attain such a license. This stoppage of progress should appall everyone.

It has been clear for several decades that the onerous regulations and nearly impossible task of attaining a license to build and operate nuclear reactors has pointed to the US Government as the primary obstructer for the nuclear power community.

Changes in regulations and delays in approvals have forced huge cost overruns. Nevertheless, the two reactors completed in this realm, Vogtle 3 and 4 in Georgia, still offer competitively priced electricity for the grid.

Therefore, removing the US government’s obstacles to progress appears to be the path to even cheaper electricity through nuclear power. A further development, not yet resolved, is to open the electricity market to free enterprise. The cost reductions available through competition in this market are huge, indicating that such a move may be next in line. We certainly encourage the government to further withdraw from the mix and deregulate electricity from its current monopolistic framework.

The Executive Order, rightfully so, identifies the radiation protection model, the Linear No-Threshold (LNT) model, as a further costly imposition on nuclear power plants with no added safety advantage. For a deeper analysis of this issue and a more sensible model called Sigmoid, No-Threshold (SNT), please consult Jack Devanny’s excellent book, “How We Can Make Nuclear Cheap Again”.

The point here is that if we overregulate safety, we will add significant costs to products that are unnecessary, as they do nothing to improve safety. Again, the excellent record of nuclear power plants over 7 decades should tell us that.

If we imposed similar safety restrictions on automobiles (no harm to people), we would end up with a car that weighed 10,000 pounds, got 3-4 miles per gallon, and was restricted to no faster than 10 mph on the road. Yet, citizens accept the over-40,000 deaths caused by automobile operation annually in the US to enjoy their benefits.

Yet, nuclear power reactors have a track record of no deaths under normal operations and suffer the most onerous safety regulations among all industries. Environmental damage is likewise extremely minimal. So, relaxing the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) will not increase environmental danger either.

So, if you want cheaper, cleaner, and reliable electricity, get these government monkeys off the backs of companies trying to bring you much more affordable and cleaner electricity. This Executive Order recognizes this reality and is moving to reduce these unnecessary and expensive regulations.

The Executive Order includes a goal of increasing nuclear power by 300 GW (moving it from 20% of current demand for electricity to 80% in the US) by 2030. This is a tall order, but America put a man on the moon with slide-rule technology in the 1960s, so the US certainly can attain this goal. We simply need to return to fair market processes and free enterprise. The companies exist, and the technology exists to do this now. We just must set them free. This Executive Order also calls for this.

Finally, the Executive Order calls for more streamlined NRC licensing processes that utilize fewer personnel. If we have smart people in nuclear power technology, wouldn’t they be best used to advance the technology rather than stop it? As mentioned earlier, we are discussing the safest industry in the world over the last seven decades. Indeed, this alone should greatly reduce the need for scrutiny.

So, the President has established his priorities (there are three other parts of this Order we will consider in future articles). Get the government out of the way of progress and allow free enterprise to bring us cheap, clean energy. He also encourages the recycling of slightly used nuclear fuel (SUNF). As pointed out in previous articles, by using fast reactors, the current stockpile of SUNF could power the US at its current demand for electricity for 270 years.

Indeed, the most expeditious path to the disposition of this material should be encouraged, and no plan exists today to dispose of this material in the US. Accelerating the process would produce far more electricity than our current and future needs, so (more supply than demand) would force the retail price of electricity to pennies per kWh or less. The nay-sayers for nuclear power have not improved their rhetoric for decades and still offer the same propaganda they have always exaggerated, with no comparison to the safety record of this industry and no consideration of its benefits.

Perhaps it is time to weigh the benefits against the risks. If we do, nuclear power comes out way ahead of other electricity production methods. This Executive Order is at least a step in this direction. We need to ensure it is enforced and strengthened to allow for an improvement in quality of life at a cost of pennies per kWh of electricity for everyone in the world.

My Response to Cliff Kincaid’s Article: “A Trump War in Iran Means the End of MAGA?”

By Lex Greene

June 24, 2025

First things first, I want to thank fellow political commentator Cliff Kincaid for driving so much traffic to my commentaries lately. In the past four days, he has rushed out at least four pieces attacking Trump and his supporters for Trump’s decisive action in Iran. He mentions me in three of them and my subscriber numbers have increased as a result. Thank you, Cliff!

Second, Cliff’s current post is full of utter false statements, misquotes, and a clear effort to create divisions in the MAGA movement while promoting those divisions in defense of the Islamic Terror State of Iran, whom according to Cliff, is united with communist Russia and China. I have known Cliff for many years, and we used to be on the same page most of the time. But ever since he became a Covid JAB pusher for the very deadly mRNA bioweapons in 2020, he seems to have drifted further and further to the left, attacking Trump, his supporters, Fox News, and everyone except the people truly responsible for the mess Trump must clean up…Obama & Co.

Cliff’s Latest and My Response

Unlike Cliff, who went to great pains to find some way to manufacture a case against Trump, while claiming to support the U.S. Constitution by never actually quoting from the U.S. Constitution, I will make my case in a clear-cut undeniable response, all of it taken directly from the U.S. Constitution and related statutes.

I’ll respond item by item.

Cliff – The pro-MAGA commentator Lex Greene insists, in regard to U.S. military action against Iran, that if President Trump chooses to end the conflict “by using USA special weapons to destroy all Iranian efforts to develop long-range nuclear capabilities,” he will be acting in accordance with the U.S. Constitution. Greene writes, “He does indeed hold that power but appears reluctant to use it unless necessary.”

Above is an accurate quote from my June 18, 2025, commentary on the subject posted here. However, Cliff immediately takes issue with my commentary on this basis:

Cliff – “However, Greene’s statement about the Constitution is false, creating more uncertainty in MAGA about the wisdom of President Trump’s current course of action and the possibility of deep U.S. involvement in another Middle East war.”

As Cliff well knows, my statement is entirely based upon the text found in the only Article in the U.S. Constitution pertaining to Presidential Powers and Authority, specifically, Article II – Section II which reads as follows; “The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States;”

In order for my statements above to be false, one of three things has to be true…

Article II – Section II doesn’t say that
Despite what it says, that’s not what it means
No matter what it says or means, it’s irrelevant

Anyone making the claim that Trump lacks the Presidential Power to make these types of decisions, must totally ignore Article II – Section II on the matter, or, as Cliff has attempted, find something outside the Constitution to challenge this constitutional text. Of course, the second you do that, you will be making an argument against the Constitution instead of for it.

Cliff – “Trump ran for office promising to be the peace president and avoid the “forever wars.”

In this case, constitutional conservatives point to the original text of the Constitution, which requires congressional approval for involvement in a war of this nature, as well as the words of James Madison, father of the Constitution, who served two terms as President and declared:”

First, Cliff assumes here that the one bombing run in Iran will become a “forever war.” Others make a very different assumption in this regard and opinions vary, as always. Only time can tell… But this belief by Cliff seems to be driving his fear and his effort to undermine the Constitution, while pretending to stand for it.

But then Cliff begins his left-like word-parsing… “constitutional conservatives point to the original text of the Constitution” – which is exactly what I did in quoting directly from Article II – Section II, the most important section of the Constitution on the subject of Presidential Powers, which Cliff doesn’t quote, adding something he likes better, “and the words of James Madison, father of the Constitution;”

The leftists in our country have perfected the art of turning the Constitution inside-out and upside-down by cherry-picking things they like and ignoring text they don’t. Cliff appears to have learned these tricks from the left and employs them well in this case.

Cliff – “In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department.”

There’s actually no such clause in the Constitution. First, the only section of the Constitution pertaining to Presidential Powers is Article II, which says no such thing. No other Article in the Constitution pertains to Presidential Powers. I believe, though Cliff is unclear about it, he is leaning on Article I – Section 8 of the Constitution, the “To declare War” power granted Congress.

However, although these three words in Article I grant Congress the power to “declare war,” there’s nothing in any part of the Constitution that requires Congress to “declare war” or that requires the President to gain a Declaration of War from Congress before fulfilling his duty under Article II as Commander-in-Chief.

I’m deeply troubled by the practice of pretending to uphold the Constitution, while clearly working against Constitutional text to undermine it, in this case, to undermine the Article II powers of the Presidency in matters of National Security. It matters not whether libertarian Cliff does it, or if the likes of global Marxists AOC and Bernie Sanders, or Islamic jihadis like Ilhan Omar and Barack Obama do it.

In Cliff’s manic rush to judgment on Trump and his supporters, and even me, his friend, Cliff made so many obvious critical errors in his pieces. He privately sent me his first piece and at first glance, I let him know he made errors right out of the gate…from saying “Israel can never have nukes” when he meant to say Iran, to quoting President Hamilton in 1793, who was never President…and Washington was President in 1793. It only got worse after that.

His focus has largely been on two things, neither of which is Constitutional text.

Cliff seems to love The Federalists, like Madison and Hamilton, overlooking the historical reality that the juggernaut federal government we are fighting today was built by the Federalists, at the objection of anti-Federalists like Jefferson, Payne, Henry and Adam’s. He even overlooks the fact that his hero Madison, was one of the first to attempt “nullifying” federal powers along with Jefferson, in the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions.

So, Cliff tries to ignore the actual Article II Constitutional text in favor of an obscure personal quote from someone, and hang his hat in the end, upon the War Powers Act of 1973, which itself, is very likely to be “unconstitutional” due to its overt effort to regulate powers of the President granted in Article II.

But even in the case of the War Powers Act, which was a congressional resolution and not a constitutional amendment, the circumstances concerning Iran would still be covered as Presidential Powers in this resolution.

Cliff – “Lex Greene writes, “For the record, Congress has not ‘declared a war’ since WWII. Yet every President since, has ordered American troops into harm’s way without any declaration from Congress.” Let’s examine this claim and see whether it is true and relevant in this case.”

Yet another fact stated by me, easily confirmed in History. Every President since WWII has ordered military actions without a single “declaration of war” from Congress. That’s just a fact… That’s because, it is a “Presidential Power” granted the Presidency in Article II and not every situation calls for a formal “declaration of war” from congress. To suggest otherwise is just constitutionally false!

Cliff’s cherry-picked example of George W. Bush and Iraq is irrelevant in this case, as Bush was seeking additional war funding for a protracted war to depose Hussein, and not a 24-hour tightly targeted mission to end hostilities, as is the case in Iran.

Cliff drones on, and on, and on in search of a way to make his case against the Constitutional text, while trying to convince readers he’s making a constitutional case while ignoring what the constitution says. Cliff would like to be President, like many other armchair-presidents, but he isn’t…

Look, Trump-haters everywhere will try every dirty trick in the book to cause divisions in the MAGA movement and unfortunately, Cliff has joined that chorus now.

But at the end of the day, the Constitution means exactly what it says, or it means absolutely nothing at all… You decide what is the Supreme Law of the Land…the Constitution, or Cliff and Bernie?

I feel compelled to remind all fellow Americans, that in this world, there is no peace, other than through strength! Evil exists where good men do nothing!

Last, as I complete the response to Cliff, news is breaking that Israel and Iran have apparently agreed to a ceasefire, bringing Israels 12-day mission to end nuclear proliferation in Iran to and end. If this ceasefire holds, Cliff’s manic fears will be unwarranted.

May God make it so!

A Trump War in Iran Means the End of MAGA?

By Cliff Kincaid

June 23, 2025

The pro-MAGA commentator Lex Greene insists, in regard to U.S. military action against Iran, that if President Trump chooses to end the conflict “by using USA special weapons to destroy all Iranian efforts to develop long-range nuclear capabilities,” he will be acting in accordance with the U.S. Constitution. Greene writes, “He does indeed hold that power but appears reluctant to use it unless necessary.”

However, Greene’s statement about the Constitution is false, creating more uncertainty in MAGA about the wisdom of President Trump’s current course of action and the possibility of deep U.S. involvement in another Middle East war.

Trump ran for office promising to be the peace president and avoid the “forever wars.”

“In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department.”

This famous quote was published under the title “Helvidius” Number 4 and dated September 14, 1793. It was designed as part of a debate as Madison’s response to Alexander Hamilton’s interpretation of executive power.

Madison went on to highlight how in war “the public treasures are to be unlocked, and it is the executive hand which is to dispense them.” That means that war is financed by the people through Congress. Then he warned of the dangerous tendency of presidents to use their powers in war to make themselves look good, decisive, and noble. He said “The strongest passions, and most dangerous weaknesses of the human breast; ambition, avarice, vanity, the honorable or venial love of fame, are all in conspiracy against the desire and duty of peace.”

So when President Trump says he is waiting up to two weeks to decide whether to strike Iran, he is pursuing a peaceful course that is consistent with his constitutional duties and obligations but ignoring the role of the legislature, the Congress, when he threatens unilateral action without Congressional authorization.

Ironically, Trump’s own party controls Congress, leading many to question why he won’t take the time to make his case and go to war, if that is his decision, on a basis that precludes impeachment.

Lex Greene writes, “For the record, Congress has not ‘declared a war’ since WWII. Yet every President since, has ordered American troops into harm’s way without any declaration from Congress.” Let’s examine this claim and see whether it is true and relevant in this case.

I can understand the argument that the president has inherent powers to use military force without congressional authorization for defensive purposes. Debate notes attributed to James Madison and Elbridge Gerry declare that while Congress has the power to “declare war,” this would “leav[e] to the Executive the power to repel sudden attacks.”

Under this constitutional authority, which is self-defense for a nation state, the president can repel an invasion or rescue Americans in peril or protect American property being attacked. But none of this rationale applies to Iran.

Greene seems to be arguing that the president can ignore the plain meaning of the Constitution when the matter becomes deep and sustained involvement in a foreign war, such as in Iraq and now possibly Iran. In the Iraq war, 4,432 American soldiers were killed and almost 32,000 were wounded in action. President Trump opposed that war, which is estimated to have cost $3 trillion.

But his argument falls apart when we note that the Congress passed a resolution for the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq.

It was the wrong war at the wrong time. But at least Congress was consulted and acted.

It’s time to get back to what the Constitution says and what the founders intended before our troops are sent into another major war that could easily become a quagmire.

The Constitution Party declares, “We condemn the presidential assumption of authority to deploy American troops into combat without a declaration of war by Congress, pursuant to Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution.” This is the position of constitutional conservatives.

The Constitution Party, which once ran conservative icon Howard Phillips for president, also notes: “One of the greatest contributors to deficit spending is war. If the country is to eliminate debt, these United States cannot become gratuitously involved in constant wars. Constitutional government, as the founders envisioned it, was not imperial. It was certainly not contemplated that America would police the world at the taxpayers’ expense.”

Another No-Win War

The assumption seems to be that if the United States sends our troops and aircraft into Iran with a big “bunker buster” bomb, the Iranian nuclear weapons program will be destroyed. That case has not been made. “I don’t believe you can completely dismantle the nuclear program through military means,” Scott Roecker of the Nuclear Threat Initiative told the New York Times. He argues that monitoring and verification are required.

Attorney Bruce Fein not only cites the work of Madison but contends that Trump is acting in an unconstitutional fashion by providing intelligence, weapons, and U.S. personnel to man anti-missile systems in Israel.

As a non-lawyer, I do not know if that is true. In my opinion, they stop short of being proof of complicity in Israel’s decision to go to war in Iran. But I think Fein’s citation of Madison proves the point that Congress declares or authorizes war and the president becomes commander-in-chief and then carries out the will of Congress. That is my honest reading of the document.

Lex Greene cites the War Powers Act of 1973 as an attempt by Congress to restrict what the president can do. It may or may not be constitutional. This is more reason to return to the plain text and meaning of the Constitution.

In this case, to repeat, if Trump’s intelligence on the Iran threat is correct, let him present the evidence to a sympathetic Congress, now under Republican control.

Greene writes, “No nation on earth can afford for Iran to ever have nuclear war capabilities.” This is obviously not the case because Russia and China have been helping Iran develop that nuclear weapons capability. And those regimes are the real problem. Yet, Greene is not making the argument for presidential and/or military action against Russia or China.

Is he putting Israel First over America First?

The fact is that Israel has more than 100 nuclear weapons that are maintained without monitoring or inspections. Israel’s defenders say these are for the survival of the Jewish state. But they clearly haven’t been a deterrent against Iran’s development of nuclear weapons. Since Israel will apparently not use them to destroy the Iranian nuclear site Fordow or any other facility, the argument shifts to what the United States will do.

How convenient for Israel.

Even if Iran’s nuclear weapons capabilities are destroyed in this war, Russia and China can help Iran build them up again. Hence, the cries are made that we need “regime change” in Iran, so that a pro-Western government emerges there. Do we seriously think Russia and China will stand for that?

This is when American involvement dramatically escalates.

$80 Billion for Bad Intelligence?

To make matters worse, there is confusion over the intelligence. Trump says his Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard is “wrong” in her assessment that Iran is not close to building a nuclear weapon. Yet, we are spending more than $73 billion on the “Intelligence Community” and that is supposed to rise to more than $80 billion. Is this money being wasted? Why do we have an “Intelligence Community” if the president is going to reject its conclusions?

Does Trump believe the intelligence from Israel or some other country? If so, let us get this evidence on the record before America goes to war. What if we get more deeply involved in Iran and then discover, such as in Iraq, that there are no weapons of mass destruction?

Trump came into office having opposed U.S. involvement in the Iraq war.

But in this case people like Lex Greene contend the president can go to war on his own. He is dangerously wrong and even the Iraq War, approved by Congress, undercuts his argument.

The text of the Constitution provides war-related powers to Congress, including the powers to appropriate and spend money, and makes the rules and regulations for the Armed Forces. The president assumes the role of commander-in-chief when called into the “actual service” of the United States, that is, through Congressional action.

In other words, the President is given the exclusive power to command the military in military operations approved by Congress.

I believe a fair reading of the language of the Constitution is that Congress would have to declare war and provide funds in order for the President to exercise his authority as Commander in Chief. Today, that would apply to circumstances in which the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, National Guard, and Reserves are “called” into service of the United States by the Congress in general or in specific and rare circumstances when the U.S., its citizens, or property are attacked and the president must act quickly.

Trump, therefore, is on firm ground in declaring through the Alien Enemies Act and the Constitution that he can arrest and deport foreign invaders. Strangely, Trump has deferred to the Supreme Court on this question.

The Impeachment of Trump

Regarding Iran, however, he acts as though he has the constitutional power to declare or make war on Iran. If he continues to make that case and then follows through by making war on Iran, argues Bruce Fein, he can be impeached.

“From the North Korean war, to Vietnam, to Lebanon, to Somalia, and our various, ongoing entanglements in the Middle East,” commented Senator Mike Lee in 2019, “our presidents now routinely send our country to war unilaterally without congressional authorization. What’s worse, Congress has consistently and deliberately chosen not do anything about it. Out of cowardice and self-interest, it has surrendered its constitutional responsibilities and willingly empowered the executive branch instead.”

In view of this history, what President Trump is doing is not unique. However, he ran on a platform different than other presidents, an “America First” platform that presupposes respect for the U.S. Constitution. We expect adherence to the Constitution from him.

If Trump fails this test, many in his MAGA base will abandon him as the nation spirals into more war and debt.

Call Me a Patriotic American Because I Love America

By Frosty Wooldridge

June 23, 2025

Born out of the 6th century in the desert sands of the Middle East: a violent, illiterate, deadly, and rapist tribesman named Muhammed created the cruelest religion on planet Earth. It has ravaged men, women, children and animals ever since.

If you read the Quran, you see that it commands its followers to “Convert or kill all non-believers.” It commands its male followers to martyr themselves in the name of Allah in order to enjoy 72 virgins in the afterlife. Its violence toward animals via torture is profoundly sickening.

Its violence to its women, as reported by the United Nations, equates to 20,000 honor killings annually…right up into the 21st century. If you breathe the wrong thought or action, a father or husband will kill his wife or daughter. Its violence to female babies with female genital mutilation must be the cruelest of its many cruelties.

“The Quran has 123 verses that call for fighting and killing anyone who does not agree with the statement, “There is no God but Allah and Mohammed is his prophet.” Jews and Christians are specifically included among such “infidels.” The Quran’s Sura 5:33 says about infidels, “They shall be slain or crucified, or have their hands and feet cut off.” Sura 9:5 says, “Slay the infidels wherever you find them … and lie in wait for them … and establish every stratagem (of war against them).” Sura 47:4-9 promises paradise to whoever cuts off the head of an infidel.”

Over the weekend, President Trump bombed three major nuclear enrichment sites in Iran in order to take out their ability to produce a nuclear bomb. Why did he do it?

If you look back at 1983 with 241 U.S. Marines, Navy and French peace keepers that got bombed to death in Beirut, Lebanon—you understand that Muslims will do anything to kill the infidels. That’s you and that’s me.

If you look at their deadly attacks at the 1972 Olympics as they executed 11 Jews, you understand that Muslims are as sick and single-minded as the Nazi’s under Hitler. They kill without emotional or mental or rational thought. That guy who shot and killed the Jewish couple only weeks ago in Washington DC illustrates their lust for death to a point of being psychopathic. That one Muslim U.S. Army major shot up our soldiers in Texas. Another father killed his two daughters for wearing jeans in South Carolina. One Muslim father shot his daughter in her sleep in Ohio. Another Muslim-American ran over his wife and daughter in Arizona for being “too Westernized.” They followed the deadly dictates of the Quran.

Therefore, Islam is a psychopathic religion: “Psychopathy is a personality disorder characterized by a specific set of dysfunctional traits, including a lack of empathy and remorse, impulsivity, manipulativeness, and deceitfulness.”

What does that reality mean when it comes to the WORST terror-sponsoring country in the world—-IRAN?

What do they chant by the tens of thousands in the streets of Tehran? They scream, “Death to America…Death to Israel.” We are The Great Satan to them.

If given the chance and/or the ability, they would kill every last Jewish person on this planet. They would exterminate every last American. That’s how Islam works. That word means: submission. In other words, once you accept Islam, you submit to everything in its dictates. You may kill your daughter or wife because it’s mandated by the Quran if that female should cross you. Your wife submits to being 1/2 the value of a man. Women do not possess any rights in Islam. Their sickening treatment of animals for “Halal” meats turns a First World person’s stomach. Their cruelty to animals exceeds anything you can imagine. If you ever leave that religion, they put out a “fatwa” on you—-to have their henchmen kill you.

“Islamist terrorist attacks (1979-2024): According to one source, at least 249,941 people have died in Islamist terrorist attacks worldwide during this period. Fondapol recorded 66,872 attacks during this time. Post-9/11 wars (including indirect deaths): Research from Brown University’s Costs of War project estimates 4.5-4.7 million direct and indirect deaths related to post-9/11 wars in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and other areas.”

So, what is my point?

It’s this: if Iran ever obtained a nuclear bomb or bombs, they would absolutely use them to exterminate Israel. They would try to exterminate America. They would try to exterminate Canada and Europe. That’s how deadly that religion remains in the 21st century.

Do you see anyone immigrating to the Middle East? Do you see peace in Europe with its millions of Muslims? Douglas Murray wrote about Islam conquering Europe with his book: The Strange Death of Europe. Islam has degraded, degenerated and completely ruined Western Society in Europe. They won’t stop until they turn Europe into Sharia Law…which in reality is horrendous barbarism.

So, when you’ve got dingbats like AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Maxine Waters, and others that want to impeach Trump—you must understand they remain clueless in the face of reality.

If they lived in Muslim dominated countries, they would remain illiterate because they would not be allowed to be educated. They could not leave the house without a male family member. They could not drive car or ride a bicycle. They could not dance. They could not paint a picture. They could not swim in a pool with a swim suit or with other males. They would not be able to choose their own dress or spouse.

Would any of those four women accept such male dominance? Would you as an American female accept this kind of nightmare in your life?

Would you accept this dictate?

As stated by Omar Ahmad, director of C.A.I.R. (Council on American Islamic Relations), “Islam isn’t 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.”

Now you understand why Trump took action. He took it for all of Western Humanity. He took it for every Israeli. He took it for every American citizens. In the final analysis, we live in dangerous times with a dangerous religion. If Islam’s leaders could, they would behead or cut the throats off anyone who would disobey them.

This is why I am an American Patriot. We either stand up for freedom, equality, integrity of thought, choices and freedom of religion—or we let ourselves devolve into the insanity of Islam. (Caveat: If I was in power, I would deport every Muslim out of America because it’s too deadly to keep them here. They simply cannot accept our way of life and our religious freedoms. Their Quran demands they spread Sharia Law. They would bring us down just like they are bringing down Europe.)

God bless our U.S. Constitution. God bless Donald Trump. God bless those men and women who carried out the raid on Iran. God bless every loyal American. God bless America.

Iran’s Blood-Soaked Mullahs are Unworthy of the Iranian Name

By Amil Imani

June 22, 2025

Iran. The name alone echoes with history, a war cry resonating from the dawn of civilization.

It means “Land of Aryans,: and “The Land of Nobles,” a title rooted in the ancient Indo-European tribes who forged a legacy of strength, culture, and unyielding spirit on the Persian plateau.

The Persians were warriors and builders of empires – they followed the Zoroastrian creed of good words, good thoughts, and good deeds, carving their mark into the mountains and deserts of this sacred land.

To be Iranian is to carry the blood of these titans, to stand tall as heirs to Cyrus the Great, Darius the Great, and the immortal soul of Persepolis.

But the mullahs who strangle Iran today are not Iranians. They are shriveled, pathetic impostors, a cabal of bearded tyrants who have hijacked the land and its people, defiled its essence with their theocratic chokehold.

These mullahs are not the sons of Iran’s ancient soil.

They are aliens in spirit, betrayers of the Persian flame that has burned for millennia.

Iran is not their home — it is their hostage. They drape themselves in the flag whose words were forged in the deserts of Arabia, not the highlands of Persia. They mouth Persian words, but their hearts beat to a foreign drum. Their ideology, their so-called “revolution,” is a venomous import, a 7th-century Islamic dogma that has no root in Iran’s ancient soul. They are not Iranians – they are occupiers, usurpers who have chained a nation to their altar of control since 1979.

Examine their actions. The mullahs have transformed Iran, once a beacon of civilization, into a prison of fear. They impose their rule with the Morality Police, a group of thugs who assault women for daring to reveal a strand of hair. They hang dissidents from cranes, their bodies swaying like grim trophies in the streets of Tehran. They finance terror worldwide, from Hezbollah to Hamas, while Iran’s own citizens suffer starvation under sanctions and economic devastation.

This is not the way of old Persia. This is not the legacy of a people who gave the world the Cyrus Cylinder, the first charter of human rights. The mullahs’ rule is a betrayal of everything Iran represents – a grotesque mockery of its heritage.

The villain mullahs have been deceiving and playing the Iranian people, particularly the masses of religious fanatics, long before either Israel or the U.S. existed.

They claim to be Iranians, but their loyalty lies not with the nation, not with its people, but with a warped ideology that glorifies submission over sovereignty. Their supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, and his clerics wield power not as stewards of Iran’s glory but as enforcers of a foreign creed. They are rooted in a rigid, alien orthodoxy, one that suffocates the free spirit of a people who once wrote epic poetry under starlit skies. The mullahs are not Iranians — they are agents of a cultural invasion, eroding the very identity of the Land of the Nobles.

“We do not worship Iran, we worship Allah. For patriotism is another name for paganism. I say let this land [Iran] burn. I say let this land go up in smoke, provided Islam emerges triumphant in the rest of the world.” —Ruhollah Khomeini

The Iranian people know this. They feel it in their bones.

From the streets of Isfahan to the villages of Kurdistan, the cry rises: “Death to the dictator!” The protests of 2022, sparked by the murder of Mahsa Amini, were not mere riots – they were a rebellion of Iran’s soul against its captors. Women burned their hijabs, men faced bullets with bare chests, and the youth chanted for freedom, not for the mullahs’ chains.

These are the true Iranians, the heirs of an ancient civilization, who refuse to bow to a regime that spits on their heritage. They are the fire of Zoroaster, the defiance of Rostam, the unyielding will of a people who will not be broken.

The mullahs’ grip is slipping, and they know it. Their response? More brutality, more executions, more lies. They call themselves Iranians to cloak their treachery, to fool the world into believing they represent the nation.

But the world must see through this sham. The mullahs are not Iranians — they are a disease infecting the body of Iran. Their Islamic Republic is a fraud, a regime that has plundered Iran’s wealth, silenced its poets, and dimmed its ancient light. They have no claim to the legacy of Persia, no right to speak for a people whose history dwarfs their fleeting tyranny.

Engineering an Empire: The Outcome of the Persian Wars (S1, E8) | Full E…

Iran’s true identity lies in its pre-Islamic roots, in the grandeur of Persepolis, the wisdom of Zoroaster, and the courage of its kings.

The Persian kings built empires that spanned continents, crafted art that still dazzles, and wrote laws that inspired the world.

The mullahs build nothing but fear. They destroy, they oppress, they erase. They are not Iranians — they are the antithesis of everything Iran has ever been. Their rule is an insult to the memory of Cyrus, who freed nations, and to the spirit of a people who have endured invasions, empires, and revolutions, yet still stand proud.

The time has come to cast off this lie. The mullahs must be called what they are: invaders, not Iranians. The world must stop pretending that their regime speaks for Iran. Iran belongs to its people – to the women who burn their veils, to the students who face tanks with stones, to the poets who write in secret, to the millions who dream of- a free Iran. These are the true Iranians, the ones who carry the fire of their ancestors in their hearts.

As I see things now, the world is headed down a dangerous path. The danger of the bomb in the hands of the mullahs has not disappeared, despite what the mainstream media and the useful idiots claim. The mullahs are intent on getting the bomb, and the U.S. and Israel are equally intent on not letting them get it. Israel has a huge stake in this since it is easily within the range of the Islamists’ fire.

Now what? Simple. Trump wants to make a deal. Next, Trump will relax the sanctions, will even look the other way for the mullahs to sell some oil, access to the international financial system will also quietly work out, and a covert “diplomacy” dance will commence.

The result: a huge victory for the Mullahs and a new long-term lease on life. Iranian people lose yet again.

I certainly hope I’m wrong in my conclusion.

Looking Up Instead of Around

By Rolaant McKenzie

June 22, 2025

Fiddler on the Roof is a 1971 American musical film based on the 1964 Broadway stage musical of the same name. Set in Imperial Russia just over a decade before the Bolshevik Revolution, the film focuses on life in a Jewish community in the fictional Ukrainian village of Anatevka. Particular attention is centered on a poor, hardworking dairyman named Tevye, who tries to find husbands for the three oldest of his five daughters yet finds himself, at times hilariously, moving further away from his religious and cultural traditions to accommodate their wishes to marry for love.

The film portrayed people of different economic statuses who were mostly occupied with the lives of their families, relationships with their friends and neighbors, the welfare of their businesses, and how their children’s lives may be improved by working with Yente, the matchmaker, to find the right husband or wife. They all depended on each other for various things they needed to make life as comfortable as possible. Village residents knew that they could go to Tevye for milk, cream, and cheese; Lazar Wolf to get meat butchered; Motel, the tailor, to repair or make clothes; and the synagogue and rabbi for spiritual guidance and advice for all kinds of matters. While there was wariness regarding their gentile neighbors far back in the minds of some, things were generally peaceful with them.

However, after a while, the czar sent an officer into the region to visit the constables of villages that had Jewish residents in their jurisdiction. The constables were ordered to gather local mobs and engage in a pogrom, that is, attack the Jews and their property. The attack in Anatevka took place during the wedding of Motel and Tevye’s eldest daughter, Tzeitel. The constable reluctantly obeyed the czar’s order and limited the attacks as much as he could, especially at the wedding.

Months later during the winter, the czar issued an edict ordering the Jews of Anatevka and other nearby villages in the district to sell their homes and leave the area within three days or be forcibly removed by the government. As the stunned and grief-stricken residents started to pack their things and prepare to leave, Motel asked:

“We’ve been waiting for the Messiah all our lives. Wouldn’t this be a good time for Him to come?”

This sudden and catastrophic interruption of their routine life and desired plans, the shattering of their normalcy bias, caused them to gaze upward and hope in God through the coming of the Messiah.

As Israel was preparing to cross the Jordan River and enter the Promised Land, Moses warned them, after they had fallen into the routine of enjoying the prosperity of the land, not to forget the Lord who delivered them from slavery in Egypt and blessed them (Deuteronomy 8:10-14). The Book of Judges, however, illustrates how Israel many times became complacent, drifted away from God into idolatry, and fell into doing what was right in their own eyes (Judges 21:5). When their enemies overcame and subjugated them, Israel remembered God and cried out to Him, and He raised up a deliverer to save them.

More than 2,500 years ago, the prophet Zechariah described a time of unprecedented distress that will come upon Israel and Jerusalem (Zechariah 12) in the Last Days. It is a time described by the prophet Jeremiah nearly a century earlier as “the time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jeremiah 30:4-7) and about 600 years after that by the Lord Jesus in Matthew 24 as a time of “great tribulation.” Doubtless, during this time, many among the Jewish people will ask the same question as Motel did in Fiddler on the Roof. The answer to that question will come from the Messiah Himself when they cease looking at themselves or around for salvation and look up.

“I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn.” (Zechariah 12:10)

When all the nations of the earth are gathered against them, the Deliverer, Messiah Jesus, will return in great might and power to save Israel and reconcile them to God by taking away their sins (Isaiah 59:20; Romans 11:25-27; Revelation 19:11-21).

As we seek to make a living, take care of our families, engage in careers, provide for the future of our children and grandchildren, and build connections with friends and neighbors, it is easy to become so preoccupied with these good things and what we think we need to do to pursue them successfully that the Lord is given merely lip service or forgotten, and His coming kingdom is moved farther back in our minds.

Holding fast to the things of this world causes many to place their hope in getting their favored politician or political party in power to bring about a “golden age” of prosperity for themselves and their children rather than looking up to the Lord Jesus as the only One who will bring the true and lasting golden age when He comes. They forget that trusting in the things of this world is a vain hope that leads to disappointment and suffering (Psalm 146:3). When the consequences of misplaced trust and hope come, the false sense of security is broken, and an opportunity to look up to the Lord for deliverance comes (Psalm 107:10-15).

The same Deliverer who came to save the lost sheep of the house of Israel (Matthew 15:24) was also pierced for our transgressions (Isaiah 53:5) to bring salvation to the gentiles (Romans 11).

Do not be lulled into complacency with the cares of this life and be surprised by a sudden crisis before you turn to the Lord. Trust in the Lord Jesus today and have the blessed, bedrock hope that encourages us to look up to Him instead of around at earthly things that distract, are subject to change, and cannot deliver (Colossians 3:1-4).

“For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.” (Titus 2:11-14)

Fear Sells

By Rob Pue

June 22, 2025

Galatians 6:9, “And let us not grow weary in well doing, for in due season, we shall reap, if we faint not.” I confess today that I’m tired, I’m weary. But I haven’t grown weary in well doing. In fact, that’s what gives me the power and strength to get up every day and press on. But I’m very tired and weary of the biblical illiteracy and lack of knowledge of the Lord and His ways that so many who claim His name demonstrate all the time.

Jesus told us not to worry. Scripture tells us over and over again to “fear not.” Yet, so many professing Christians have become professional worriers. In fact, they seem to crave conflict, civil war and division. Perhaps they just crave justice, but as I look at my 24/7 news feeds from many different alternative media news sources, I’m weary of all the fear mongering, all the doom and gloom, “apocalyptic” and end-of-the-world headlines that I come across — headlines that Christians can’t help but be drawn to, as they feed their fearful hearts.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of bad stuff going on. A lot of bad things happening in the world. And that “great and terrible Day of the Lord” certainly could come at any moment. But after a lifetime of watching fearful and abominable things come upon the earth and then disappear, only to be replaced by the next big “apocalyptic” event, I’m tired of it. This steady stream of worrisome stories that flows out of the mainstream news media — and now, even many Christian news sources — is what fuels many of these organizations. Fear is big money to the media, and I’m weary of professing Christians who continue to buy into it all.

There are fearful news stories with dramatic headlines coming out of Christian and other alternative media that I see every day. Sometimes the headlines seem so compelling that even I feel the need to read those articles. But for me, that’s happening much less often now. I don’t claim to know the future, but I can certainly learn from the past, and I say “shame on those media outlets that claim to be ‘Christian’ but only continue to exist because they have become experts at turning fear of the future into a very profitable money-making enterprise.

Yes, we should be informed. As Christians, we should be the most informed about current world events of all people. But we need to learn to discern, and stop supporting, following and falling prey to what’s known in the news business as “fear porn.” Like regular pornography, “fear porn” sells. It gets “clicks” on the internet. It’s a multi-billion-dollar industry of books, videos and other so-called “teaching tools” and seminars. Podcast hosts become rich and famous — well respected as “watchmen on the walls.” But not all of these “watchmen” are really watchmen — they’re just utilizing the system they’ve developed to build their personal wealth, and a lot of what they produce is just pure “fear porn.”

There are some good speakers, educators and experts out there that we should be listening to and learning from. But sadly, the vast majority of those that even Christians follow, are simply exploiting horrific national and world events. Again, because fear sells, and people buy it.

I, myself, have written a multitude of articles on current world events. But you may have noticed, when something “big” happens in the world, such as the burning down of Lahaina on Maui, the hurricane in Appalachia, wars in Ukraine and Israel, and the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, I don’t immediately jump on the story, take a side, and then start scaring people. When something major happens, I discern and I wait. Sometimes I can easily identify a “false flag” event or a manipulation tactic and dismiss it as just that. Sometimes it’s important enough to take the time to do in-depth research to dig out the truth the best I can, but it’s always a while before I render my opinion. So that, when I do, what I say about a subject has been well-researched and verified. Only then do I share my conclusions through articles, radio broadcasts and television programs.

Many alternative news websites pick up my articles and republish them. I hear from a lot of people always wanting to know why I haven’t written anything on some particular story. It’s either because I haven’t yet had time to study and research it, or it was easy to discern that this was fake news, a “false flag” event or a story meant to scare, manipulate and divide the public. There are many things you’ll find at other media outlets that I never discuss, because I’m not interested in being a useful pawn of a deep state, government or media conspiracy to deceive, frighten and further divide people, who are already confused and their behavior manipulated over something that’s nothing more than pure, orchestrated theater.

So, bottom line here: learn to discern. Stop worrying so much, because fear and worry are tools of the enemy to exploit the populace — either to get them to react in a certain way, or to paralyze them into doing nothing. Quit playing their game, because it’s become a game of extremes, and what we need is a spirit of power, love and sound minds, a spirit of peace and balance — knowing Who is ultimately in control of this world. Today, it’s all about extremes and often times the truth never even enters into the equation.

A couple cases in point. Many Christians hated the administration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and therefore, they manifested a spirit of hatred toward them. In reality, while both were certainly corrupt, neither were actually running the country. That was done by the people behind the curtain. Biden and Harris were just the faces that represented the evil, allowing those on the “right” to put a face and a person on the non-visible demons who were actually in control…thereby creating people we could hate.

Then we have Trump Derangement Syndrome. Many people hate Trump. They don’t trust him. They call him a Nazi and a Fascist, with no evidence to back up their claims, but rather, just mere rhetoric. When asked why they hate him or call him a Nazi, they can’t give you a solid, truthful answer. They’re simply parroting the talking points they’ve been manipulated to believe. But like all the presidential administrations in my lifetime, I don’t believe he’s really running anything either. We’ve again been presented with two polar opposites — the Left versus the Right. So, now the Orange Man is the hated one.

Do you not understand that this is all mere theater? Our two-party system exists only to create the division needed to keep us in chaos and confusion. Common sense, real truth and knowledge never enters into it. It’s a divide and conquer strategy that the two parties — (the only ones allowed to exist by the entities who actually run the world) — have developed and perfected to manipulate and control what we, the people, do and how we behave.

So, you can disagree strongly with the official policies of the Left (and I do), but don’t hate people…even those who serve as the “frontmen” and appear responsible for it all. They’re not responsible, nor are they in control of anything. They’re just pawns in the game, doing what they’re told… or more likely, not really doing anything at all, except serving as the “face” we’re supposed to hate. And yes, they’re corrupt, wicked and evil. But they’re politicians, folks. What did you expect?

Meanwhile, those on the Left disagree strongly with the policies of Trump. I’m not sure how any American can disagree with the MAGA agenda, or the common sense things Trump and his administration have told us they want to do. And if you ask a Leftist to explain their reasoning as to why they hate Trump and his policies, they can’t give you a reasonable, educated answer or present a truthful argument for why they believe what they believe. All they know is that they hate Trump. Again, he’s merely a “face” for people to hate. And incidentally, many of Trump’s campaign promises have quietly unraveled since he took office. It’s my prediction that nothing really substantial is going to come out of his second term — only the things of those who hold the puppet strings want to happen will actually happen. So Lefties, you can quit worrying too. You’ll still have all your LGBTQP+ “rights,” you’ll still be able to murder babies, and the lawlessness you love so much will continue to abound across this nation.

But evil needs chaos, confusion, fear… and most of all, hatred. This is the opposite of God’s design and His commands. Professing Christians need to be more than chuch-goers and become Christ followers. This means being genuinely informed and seeking out the truth in all things, rather than relishing the scary stories we love so much as our “entertainment,” salivating at the idea of the apocalypse in hopes we can hasten the rapture while sitting back, frozen in fear and waiting for the rapture.

We’re supposed to be busy about our Father’s business. We’re supposed to be investing the talents He’s blessed us with to further His kingdom and be a restraining force against evil. And we’re not supposed to have a spirit of fear. Just the opposite. We’re to have power, love and sound minds. Most of the things we worry about never happen anyway.

On the weekend of June 14th, my wife and I attended a ministry event several states away. Prior to that, I spoke with several people who were very fearful of the nation-wide violence the Leftists were planning for their “No Kings” protest. I told them all not to worry about it. It was merely a ploy to strike fear into the hearts of Americans, further their narrative that Trump is a dictator, and try their best to market their lies nationwide to those they’ve not yet brainwashed.

I woke up that Saturday morning to the latest big news: Democrat politicians in Minnesota had been killed overnight in a home invasion and two more Democrats there were injured. While violence like this is tragic, it should also have been easily recognized as an orchestrated attempt to instill even more rage among the brainwashed masses on the Left. I also knew immediately that the mainstream media would announce the killer was a Trump supporter, and alternative media would put out mixed messages as to who did it. The truth is it could have been either side. Almost certainly, it was an “inside job,” but it didn’t really have the intended effect.

I don’t think the crowds of protestors grew any larger because of it, and the rage and hatred of those on the Left didn’t get any stronger, because they’ve already reached their rage and hatred capacity a long time ago.

Lawlessness has increased and the love of many has grown cold. There’s a great famine of Godly spiritual truth and wisdom in our nation. There are many reasons for this: Biblical illiteracy comes immediately to mind. We don’t study God’s Word anymore. We go to church, the pastor preaches, we go home… that’s what Christians do now. There’s no excuse for us who name the name of Christ to be ignorant about anything, especially the spiritual battle we’re in, able to rightly divide the Word of Truth and discern truth from lies, and good from evil. But “evil men have crept in to our assemblies, unawares….ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Jude 1). “Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the Lord understand it completely.” (Proverbs 28:5).

Yes, we seek justice, we want righteousness. Yet we seem to thrive on bad news and we seem to be cheering on the ever-growing wickedness in our nation, in hopes that may hasten our Lord’s return, and meanwhile, we worry and fret, while doing nothing substantial with our talents. We’re all going to have to answer to our Lord one day for what we — each one of us — has done today. Where’s your faith, Christians? Where are the fruits of your faith? Will all the time you wasted on all those things you’ve feared add a single moment to your life? Will you be among the cowardly and unbelieving of Revelation 21:8?

“Be anxious for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Give it to God, then move on and use your talents for His kingdom. You know, the Left wants “no kings.” But whether they like it or not, there IS a King — and one day, every knee shall bow and every tongue confess to that truth. Do you want to be among His faithful on that day, or will He say, “Depart from Me. I never knew you?”

“The Service” of the Citizen Soldier

By Lewis Brackett

June 21, 2025

Over 2000 years ago, most every spring, the young men would gather in their town squares. They swore an oath of loyalty to The Republic. They then formed up in Centuries or hundreds.

Going before them was the eagle, and beneath it, the plaque with the letters SPQR. Meaning of course “For the Senate and We The People of Rome.” For as long as the citizen soldiers marched, so did Rome. While their nobility of service and sacrifice endured, so did Rome. When that ethos ended, so did Rome.

A thousand years of Barbarism passed before the light of a New Republic flickered into being on a new continent across the sea. Once again, the citizen soldiers of a New Rome began to assemble in their town squares in time of peril, and, as centuries before, they stood ready to stand between their loved homes and the war’s desolation.

It has been four hundred years since then. Those of us in our generation stand to the colors in our turn, to secure the campfires behind us, as we face whatever peril there is before us. We stand to pay it back and to pay it forward. We endure the necessary and often arbitrary abuse that comes with military life. We stand despite the winter storms of the North Atlantic. We stand in the shivering watches in the Antarctic, and in the blazing heat of the wretched Mid-Eastern deserts. But above all, we proudly stand, because that is what a man, a Citizen Soldier or Sailor, Airman or Marine … does.

The author is a Coast Guard veteran who served four winters on Cutters on the North Atlantic in the late 1960’s. My Father served in WW2, driving landing craft into invasion beaches in New Guinea and the Philippines. One uncle went ashore on D-day in Normandy. Two others were shot down over Europe. One came home. They all served.

The Mullahs Ruling Iran Are Not Iranians

By: Amil Imani

June 21, 2025

I have repeatedly said that the mullahs ruling Iran are not Iranians. They truly despise Iran and its glorious past. Genetically, they are mostly Arabs. They even hate its name. There were never any questions about the Islamists denigrating Iran and exalting Muhammad. These creatures owe their very livelihood to the lucrative business that Muhammad launched for their parasitic, shameful existence. It is vital for these leeches to continue trumpeting the sainthood of the founder of their business and driving all the competition out of business.

Just recently, Sayyid Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami became a senior Iranian cleric, as well as a senior member of the Assembly of Experts, also Tehran’s Friday prayer leader. He once proved me right. Give this worm credit for paying homage to the source of his shameful livelihood.

“How dare the people of Iran even think of having a revolution or a referendum!! This government belongs to Imam Zaman (The Lord of the Age), and if anyone considers himself an Iranian, he needs to get the hell out of here. This soil belongs to us, the followers of Imam Zaman and his tribe. Iran’s name was created by ignorant people, and incidentally, this name is very provocative. This ignorant name (Iran) must be changed to something like “Velayat” lest it provoke our enemies (Iranian people).”

The battle against these inhuman (subhuman) oppressors in Iran has been arduous and long. It is the battle of Iran’s true sons and daughters and the rest of mankind. It remains our duty to work our hardest to remove these leeches from power.

We recognize that the dysfunctional Islamic software is deeply ingrained in the minds of many Muslims, who opt to remain in mental bondage rather than purge their minds of this software and join the rest of the human family with a new emancipating program for life: liberty.

Islamic clergy, the parasitic prime beneficiaries of Islam, are master practitioners of the carrot-and-stick strategy. By drawing heavily from the Quran and the Hadith, the conniving mullahs and imams have assembled a potent arsenal of threats and promises to keep the faithful in line. They had little trouble in so doing since Islamic scripture is replete with descriptions of the graphic horrific punishment awaiting the wayward and the unbelievers, while the rewards for the obedient and docile if they are male, are described as an endless variety of sensual pleasures. Anyone daring to leave the corral of Islam is apostate and automatically condemned to death. And that’s just for starters. The punishment awaiting the ungrateful deserter of the one and only true path, Islam, is horrific eternal torment in Allah’s hell.

The Islamic Republic of Iran, which holds in great contempt any non-Islamic belief or heritage, has embarked on destroying many pre-Islamic archeological sites in Iran, such as Pasargad and Persepolis — some of humanity’s most prized cultural heritage — on the pretext of building a dam. The heinous destruction of the two Bamiyan Buddha statues by Afghanistan’s Taliban pales in comparison to the present barbaric designs of the Islamic Republic. Pasargad and Persepolis are more than a mere collection of ancient structures. They are an embodiment of humanity’s historical respect for liberty and tolerance of diversity.

But the high clergy of Iran is not exactly living up to its brand. The mullah Mafia has a great scam going. They promise the ignorant Islamic devotees the phony “paradise” of the afterlife while they themselves enjoy their paradise of women, wealth, and wine on this earth. They are unrivaled in duplicity and heartlessness. So, in nearly perfect emulation of Muhammad and his leadership 1400 years ago, the pious mullahs go about plotting earthly destruction as they enrich themselves and enjoy earthly pleasures on the backs of their people.

Many Iranians are praying that help is on its way and that the ongoing protests now will not result in a repeat of 2009, when Obama threw a lifeline to the mullahs’ regime by not supporting the Iranian people, in effect siding with the genocidal mullahs. The turbaned thugs were taking their final breath, being completely broke, and the good old USA came to the rescue, releasing billions of dollars and easing other sanctions. I will never understand this.

My aspiration for my motherland is to see it freed from the evil that has been visited upon it ever since our people bought into a most depraved version of Islam. Whether people become Baha’is, Zoroastrians, or Christians, this should be a free choice for each person. Even if a person insists on remaining Muslim, that is his or her prerogative. Yet imposing the suffocating intolerance of Islam on an entire nation is something that neither I nor any person who lives in Iran can accept. Our beloved Iran deserves to be a country where, once again, we take pride in being its children instead of the present, when we often do all we can to conceal our nation of birth when visiting abroad.

Congressional Republicans Found To Be More Liberal Than Their Constituents

By Kat Stansell

Jun 20, 2025

This morning, the Washington Examiner published what they called a “Big Reveal”: “Republican Lawmakers More Liberal Than Constituents.” What bubbled up within me took me right back to my childhood:

“WELL, DUH!” I thought.

Calling this information, which is well-understood by most Constitutional Conservatives, a “big reveal”, made me laugh out loud. Since we could all use a good grin in these scary times, I just had to share. LOLOLOL, as they say. Did The Examiner really think we weren’t aware??

President Trump’s efforts since we finally got him back to 1600, tell us about their big reveal nearly every day.

The one thing in the article which I found interesting, was a scorecard published by The Institute for Legal Analysis, which grades our “representatives” by state/district on their votes by support of limited government. The ILA’s District Based Grades, they say, are calculated by overlapping a lawmaker’s personal political ideology (their Limited Government Rating) with the political ideology of the district they represent.

These grades were for 2024. There are also scorecards available for 2022 and 2023.

Here are some of the more interesting grades.

It might surprise you, but Sen. Mike Lee, UT, was the only Critter who earned a perfect score. Biggs, AZ; Roy, TX; Crane, AZ; Rosendale, MT; Perry, PA; Good, VA; Brecheen, OK; Norman, SC; and Paul, KY, rounded out the top ten. All of these surprise me a bit, but I am not familiar with their districts, which may explain a lot.

The highest-scoring Critter in FL was Gregg Steube at #11, followed by Byron Donalds and Anna Paulina Luna, at #’s 23 and 24 respectively. Down at the bottom for Florida was Diaz-Balert at position #228, Salazar at #223, and Gimenez at #202.

Look up your Congress Critters, then contact them with your thoughts. DO they really represent you?

Try to be polite, although I understand how hard that can be, when we are communicating with those who are elected to represent us, but often, do not.

They literally hold our lives in their hands, the palms of which are so often crossed with dark money which does NOT work for our good.

Some, may surprise you; some, confirm your expectations. But, checking them all out is an interesting “over coffee” exercise to take your mind off of world war and all that might entail.

Constant Lies About America’s Middle East Mess

By Cliff Kincaid

June 20, 2025

We are constantly hearing the mantra, “Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.” The “experts” said that about North Korea and today it has enough fissile material for 90 nuclear warheads. That is because of Russia and China, the same powers backing Iran.

The difference is that South Korea has no nuclear weapons and Israel has more than 100 nuclear warheads. Iran would be obliterated in any nuclear exchange. Iran knows this.

If the argument is that Israel’s nuclear deterrent did NOT deter Iran from developing nuclear weapons, then Israel’s option is to use its own nuclear weapons to destroy the Iranian nuclear weapons complex, including the underground site Fordow. That is the purpose of having a nuclear arsenal.

There is no reason for the U.S. to use our military personnel to drop so-called “bunker buster” bombs on that or any other facility. There is no guarantee they would work anyway.

In short, Israel can should finish the job with its own weapons, including nuclear warheads. It is a trap for America to believe otherwise.

The question is: why the focus on Iran and not North Korea? In his first term, Trump traveled to meet with North Korean communist dictator Kim Jong Un. Nothing came out of this disastrous meeting. North Korea kept manufacturing nuclear weapons and there was no international uproar and/or demand for a preemptive strike on North Korean nuclear facilities.

That’s because the South Korean lobby in Washington is weak and ineffective.

Thousands of American troops are stationed in South Korea as well. They are in the nuclear crosshairs. But once American troops get directly involved against Iran, they become targets, a development that means more American wounded warriors and public service announcements to help them survive their physical and mental wounds.

In Iran, international action is being called for not because of Israel but rather Saudi Arabia, which is financing the main opposition group to the Mullahs and stands to gain the most if Iran’s regime is overthrown. The Saudis are now supposed to be our friends, despite their role in the 9/11 terrorist attacks on America. It seems that the Saudis, like the Iranians, regard America as a big Satan. They are using America to destroy their main enemy Iran.

In this case, Washington wants to please the Saudis, a major source of money and deals, like those Trump completed on his Middle East tour. Trump even signed “the largest defense sales agreement in history” with Saudi Arabia — nearly $142 billion, described as “providing Saudi Arabia with state-of-the-art warfighting equipment and services from over a dozen U.S. defense firms.”

This is the way Washington works. Money talks. The military-industrial complex remains well-funded and staffed under President Trump.

The Saudis want to run the global Islamic movement, and Trump is willing to do their bidding. Now, America is right in the middle of this growing civil war inside Islam. Trump even met with the former al-Qaeda leader now running Syria.

Don’t you find it interesting that the Israeli attack on Iran closely followed President Trump’s trip to Saudi Arabia? That’s when he told the Saudi rulers the same thing: “Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.” The Saudis fear Iran more than the Israelis because the Saudis are Sunni and the Iranians are Shiite. They hate each other more than they hate Israel. But global Islam hates America.

In this context, the American people have not been told what follows “regime change” in Iran. It could be worse than the Mullahs.

Iran’s new government may be governed by the MEK, which stands for Mujahideen-e Khalq of Iran, a Marxist-oriented Islamic group whose original emblem features communist symbols, including a sickle and red star, below a verse from the Quran that praises those who struggle — the “Mujahideen” — and the path of Jihad.

These Saudi-financed Marxist terrorists, now advertising themselves as the “Democratic alternative to the clerical regime” in Iran, are being brought to you not only by Saudi Arabia but a well-funded bipartisan group of Republicans and Democrats. This is how Washington works. It is a combination of big money, special interests, and the military-industrial complex, as well as their talking heads on the major cable channels.

The Marxist terrorists now operate under the name of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), fielding “resistance units” against the government of Iran. The People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI), also referred to as the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), is the principal member of the NCRI and is described as “Iran’s largest, most organized opposition group.”

In 1993, as part of an extreme makeover, the NCRI dropped the communist symbols and adopted the Lion and Sun emblem, incorporating the three-colored Iranian flag.

If the Mullahs are overthrown, the NCRI hopes to take power. But that is not assured. Their “resistance units” will have to fight the remnants of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), with an estimated 190,000 active personnel.

In this bloody civil war in which Russia and China will also take sides, the pressure from the special interest lobbies, foreign agents, and military-industrial complex will be intense to supply American arms and even soldiers to the battlefield.

The history of the MEK is interesting and informative.

The astute publication Middle East Eye notes, “The MEK started in Iran in 1965 as an ideologically driven, socialist and Islamist movement opposed to the dictatorial rule of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. It joined the ranks of the Islamic Revolution in 1979 but ran afoul of the uprising’s leader Ruhollah Khomeini shortly after Pahlavi’s fall. After facing a deadly crackdown by Iran’s new authorities, the MEK embarked on a series of attacks on government officials and security forces. The group’s members, led by Maryam Rajavi’s husband, Massoud Rajavi, went into exile and eventually settled in Iraq in 1986. There, they sided with Saddam Hussein in his war against their home country.”

It was kicked out of Iraq and resettled in Albania in 2013. “A year earlier,” the publication notes, “former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton removed the group from the State Department’s terrorist blacklist – 15 years after it was originally added – allowing its members to work openly in the U.S.”

In the years since, it has reportedly been funded not only by the Saudis but by the United States “Intelligence Community” and various European governments. Its Washington office is a registered foreign agent in the nation’s capital, meeting with members of Congress and spending lavishly on fancy conferences at the Willard and Hay Adams Hotels. It also maintains a headquarters in Paris.

Its 2023 submission details high-level conferences featuring “distinguished American political figures” such as former Trump Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, former Trump Vice-President Mike Pence, and former Senator and current Trump Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

A 2020 Foreign Agent registration submission identified former Vice Chief of Staff of the United States Army and Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient, General Jack Keane, as a speaker at an event for the NCRI who “lent his support behind the NCRI and the Iranian opposition…” On Fox News, since the Israeli attack on Iran, Keane has been on Fox News arguing that the U.S. should “help the Israelis finish this off.”

As part of the effort to convince Washington to pursue regime change in Iran, the NCRI purchased a 36-page advertising supplement in the Washington Times that is very revealing as to those prominent figures here and abroad, including many close to President Trump, who are backing their power moves in the Middle East.

NCRI leader Maryam Rajavi thanked Congress in 2023 for a congressional resolution and briefing, saying the time was right “to overthrow the ruling theocracy” in Iran. Introduced by Congressman Tom McClintock (R-CA), it featured 165 bi-partisan original cosponsors.

Here are many of their American backers, as demonstrated by their signatures on official NCRI documents going back several years:

J. Kenneth Blackwell, Former U.S. Representative, United Nations Human Rights Commission
Lincoln P. Bloomfield, Jr., Former Special Envoy and Asst. Sec. State
Colonel (Ret.) Thomas V. Cantwell Former U.S. Military Commander for Camp Ashraf

R. Bruce McColm, President, Institute for Democratic Strategies
Colonel (Ret.) Gary Morsch, Former Senior Medical Officer at Ashraf
Frances Townsend, Former Homeland Security Advisor to the President
General (Ret.) Charles (Chuck) Wald, Former Deputy Commander U.S. European Command

Referring to the Israeli attack, NCRI President Maryam Rajavi says, “The war that broke out at dawn on Friday, June 13, 2025, marks the beginning of a critical new chapter — both in Iran’s internal crisis and in the broader dynamics of the region. Yet the central and ongoing conflict — unfolding over the past 44 years since June 20, 1981 — is the struggle of the Iranian people and Resistance against the ruling religious fascism. The only viable solution remains the overthrow of this regime by the people of Iran and the Iranian Resistance.” (emphasis in original).

But she knows they cannot do this alone.

Once again, the pressure is mounting on the United States, in the middle of various competing Marxist and/or Islamic movements and countries, to not only try to destroy the Iranian nuclear weapons capability and risk a wider war but to shed more American blood in the Middle East. And there are voices in the American media urging President Trump to order American military forces to get more directly involved in the attacks, despite the lack of congressional authorization.

The inevitable result will be more dead American soldiers and wounded warriors who have sacrificed themselves for Muslims who kill their liberators. And the American people will lament the death of an “America First” agenda that lies in ruins and graveyards.

Israel – Iran & Presidential Powers

By Lex Greene

June 19, 2025

This piece is strictly focused upon what is or isn’t the Constitutional Powers of the President and Commander-in-Chief. I do not take a side in the debate over whether or not the President should act in the Israel-Iran conflict, but only whether or not he has the constitutional authority to act.

As expected and predicted, the anti-American cabal in D.C. set the stage for everything happening today, from the Obama-Biden courts trying to run the Executive Branch to members of Congress trying to be Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces.

They created all of the conflicts in the country and around the world, for Trump to walk into upon his election to a second term. They are doing all they can to create a “no win” situation for Trump, so that no matter what he decides to do, they will try to take him out for it.

Iran

No nation on earth can afford for Iran to ever have nuclear war capabilities. The USA is one of those nations. This isn’t just about Israel. If you think Israel launched this mission without a green light from the USA and most if not all Arab nations in the region, you just don’t know how things work.

I don’t have any access to the intel regarding how close Iran may or may not be to nuclear capacity, and neither do most others sharing their opinions on the matter. But what I do know is who holds the power to make the necessary decisions for the USA.

Article II – Section II of the U.S. Constitution

“The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States;”

Nothing in Article II suggests that anyone but the President, has any such power over the subject, not Congress or the Courts.

The debate doesn’t come from the constitutional text above, but rather from a War Powers Act (circa 1973), which was an overt congressional effort to limit the Presidency of the Powers it was granted in Article II – Section II of the Constitution, as quoted above.

NOTE: For the record, Congress has not “declared a war” since WWII. Yet every President since, has ordered American troops into harm’s way without any declaration from Congress.

The current debate on the matter pits Constitutional text in Article II against the War Powers Act of 1973. Some pretend to be using constitutional text to argue against the powers of the Commander-in-Chief. But that text is quite clear and unambiguous…and it does not support their argument.

“The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States;”

So, since they are not using this text to make their argument, they are not making a “constitutional argument.” Instead, their argument is based upon a congressional act from 1973 which may very well, itself, be unconstitutional.

Statutes, resolutions and court opinions, do not “amend the constitution.” Further, Congress is prohibited from adopting any amendments, statutes, or resolutions which themselves are “unconstitutional,” because they directly or indirectly violate (undermine and subvert) the text and intent of the Constitution itself. All acts of Congress or the Courts must be “in furtherance thereof,” and not “in violation” thereof, or such acts themselves, are unconstitutional.

Should Trump Order American Troops into Theater?

This is an entirely different conversation, and people are free to debate the risks and benefits of this decision. But according to the constitutional text, the decision is the Presidents alone to make. This is a separate issue from which branch has the power to “declare war.” That power is given to Congress.

However, a congressional “declaration of war” is only necessary for a prolonged military deployment, as clearly stated in the War Powers Act itself.

“States that hostilities commenced pursuant to this Act shall not be sustained beyond thirty days from the date of their initiation except as provided in specific legislation enacted for that purpose by the Congress.” SOURCE

In the current situation, the President does indeed have the constitutional power to use military force without any authorization from Congress, so long as it is a temporary deployment. If the deployment is to last longer than 30-days, the President must then seek the support of Congress to extend the period of engagement, according to the War Powers Act.

The USA is on the verge of losing everything today. Most critically, our “republican form of government” does not currently exist. At present, both the unelected judiciary and elected legislature want to run the Executive Branch.

Damned if he Does or Doesn’t

The intentional political divisions in the USA are no accident or coincidence, and this is at the root of the current debate over what powers the duly elected President has or doesn’t have. No matter what Trump decides on any issue today, half of the country will support it, the other have will try to destroy him for it.

The global left set this whole thing up, with the help of anti-Trumpers in the GOP. There is no honest debate over what powers are granted to the President in Article II. The constitutional text couldn’t possibly be clearer.

But just as the unelected Judicial Branch is trying to run the Executive Branch from the bench, the Legislative Branch wants to run it from Congress.

We are nearing a point in history when the Office of the President has been overthrown from within the halls of both other branches. And the Constitution grants neither of the other two branches any such authority.

DO NOT RELY UPON ANYONE TO TELL YOU WHAT THE CONSTITUTION SAYS AND MEANS… READ IT FOR YOURSELF AND YOU DECIDE WHAT IT SAYS AND MEANS!

People are free to debate and even disagree with the President’s decision, no matter which decision he makes. But none of them were elected by over 77 million Americans to make this decision…only Trump was!

Most Americans Demand Term Limits To Delete the Corrupt Rot in Congress

By Frosty Wooldridge

June 19m 2025

British philosopher Lord Acton said, “Power corrupts…and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” He knew human nature all too well.

He might have added, “Longterm power corrupts long-term power holders.”

The worst mistake our Founding Fathers made: to allow endless political careers for politicians who desire personal wealth and prestige over service to the people. South Carolina’s Strom Thurmond served 49 years as a U.S. Senator before dying in office at age 100. U.S. Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA), wheel-chaired, nearly blind and suffering from dementia died at age 90, while still in office. Joe Biden, suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease, aged 82, wanted to run for another four years as president of the United States, while in fact, his staff illegally “ran” our country because Biden was not in charge of his mental faculties.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, having served for 35 years, wants to serve another two years as she babbles past 84 years of age. At the same time, she fed her husband stock trades as “insider trading” to defense contracts while she voted to keep the Afghanistan-Iraq wars continuing for 20 years. Her corruption sinks as deep as the Mariana Trench at 36,000 feet in depth.

General George S. Patton said, “Politicians are the lowest form of life on Earth. Democrats are the lowest form of politicians.”

When you examine the extraordinary corruption in America’s U.S. Congress—-it’s most disturbing that the majority of 535 Congressional Critters solve very little while letting enormous issues boil out of control. We all pay for those consequences. We paid billions for the Vietnam War. We lost 58,479 young men. That war brought Drug Addictions to America into the millions of kids. It destroyed any sense of “right and wrong” as our politicians and the Military Industrial Complex kept pumping that war up with lies, big lies and more lies for 10 years. All of it for nothing but big bucks in Congressional Pockets and the M.I.C. corporate heads.

Same thing for the 20 year Afghanistan-Iraq War: we lost $6 trillion in that engineered war. We should have fled that war after killing bin Laden in 2011. Instead, once again, the M.I.C. and Congress kept us in it for another 10 years. Over 7,500 kids paid with their lives and over 131,000 soldier suicides since 2001.

All the while, we’re eyeball-deep in a $36 trillion national debt. Our Congress allowed Biden to inject 12 million illegal aliens our midst, at INCREDIBLE COSTS of billions to our citizens. We’ve got over 800,000 homeless Americans sleeping on our streets or slum camps around the country. We’ve got our own governors, senators and mayors protecting, feeding and housing refugees who have invaded our country. Those elected officials violate our laws. What happened to oath of office, serving American citizens, and abiding by our laws?

Then, when you look at what D.O.G.E. has turned up as to the trillions of dollars stolen from American taxpayers over the past 50 years—you gotta’ starting wondering, “What the hell is going on with our corrupt Congressional Critters?”

For certain, my two U.S. Senators, Hickenlooper and Bennet, are both corrupt. They lie, they cheat, they do nothing to serve any of us in my home state of Colorado. My Governor Polis is also corrupt, a liar, and he violates his oath of office to force us into paying for over 50,000 illegal aliens that he invited into Colorado.

When you look at over 25 million of them hanging out in America, it’s all because of Congress and all those long-term corrupt politicians that could give a damn about, we, the American citizens—who are paying for this nightmare in our dead children killed by illegals, drugs everywhere killing over 270,000 kids in the past five years, crime in all 50 states, rapes, shoplifting, failing schools, and resources being sucked up faster than we can begin to understand. Not to mention all the foreign invaders marching around with their countries’ flags instead of ours. You would think that we’ve been conquered by Mexico because that’s the dominant flag being flown from California to New York.

“Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. Ah, but I repeat myself.” ― Mark Twain

What can we do and what must we do to change the corruption of SO MANY rats in The Swamp of Washington DC? The fact remains: if we had at least 51 percent of them honoring their oath of office, we wouldn’t be in our current mess.

“When buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the first things to be bought and sold are legislators.” – P. J. O’Rourke

The solution is: TERM LIMITS for all senators and House members. We give them a max of two four-year terms. If they are doing a great job, we give them a second four year term. If not, we dump them after their first four year term. That’s it!

We need fresh American minds in Congress in these critical days in the first quarter of the 21st century. There’s no way an old man like Kentucky’s U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell, at 83, should be in charge of our lives with his “forever” career in Washington DC. Same with Charles Schumer of New York. Both of them have held Senate Majority leader chairs, but they solved nothing while in office. And we sure should not tolerate House Member, Somalian illegal immigrant, Ilhan Omar (D-MN) who said this week, “America is the worst country in the world.” We should not tolerate House Member Rashida Talaib (D-MI) from Detroit, siding with Hamas and wrapping herself in a Palestinian flag when Detroit’s Muslim population voted her into office. Both should be deported and/or tossed out of Congress.

So, the solution is: TERM LIMITS! How do we get there because it’s been brought up numerous times, but the bill gets tabled and thrown into the “oblivion” circular file?

We will receive term limits by voting into office elected officials who campaigned for such passage. We can also write our senators and House members in such large numbers that we make it a national calling. It’s got to come from the ground level American citizens in order to become a popular mandate. If you want term limits, you’ve got to speak up, write up, and stand up.

I, For One, Will NOT Stand Down On WHAT Is Called The “Pride” Agenda

By Bradlee Dean

June 17, 2025

“The rainbow isn’t a celebration of sin. It a reminder of the righteous judgment of God upon the heads of the abominable!”

This month has somehow been dedicated to what the Lord calls an abomination (Leviticus 18:22, 20:13; Romans 1:26; Jude 1:7).

The C.I.A. Mockingbird Media, working hand in glove with the corrupt in the halls of government, have labeled it to be “Pride Month.” Interesting how that works, is it not? Yet, it only works with a desensitized and dumbed down people who care nothing for their blood-bought freedoms, or the state of their church and/or government (Hosea 4:6).

Furthermore, our laws condemn such felonious, criminal activities. Read Proverbs 17:15.

Remember, criminals do not have rights; they have forfeited their rights when they committed the crime (1 John 3:4).

Below is a compilation of videos that have been put together for your understanding concerning those who play the victims to our Laws, bigotry inverted.

These use the law against the law in hopes of overthrowing the law.

They play the victim while perpetrating the crime, especially against the children.

Child trafficking documentary congress want see

As you will see, they do not have the shield, they have the spear. This small core group (being used as a political battering ram) of less than 1.7 percent of the population is being used by the government in hopes of upending our Christian and constitutional heritage.

With the above information given, can anyone in their right mind not see why the Lord calls these abominable? What’s worse is how these abominable reprobates are trying to normalize the crimes with the permissive apathetic and tolerant Americans who, before God, are accomplices to their crimes (Genesis 18).

Friends, the rainbow that the Lord gave was not a sign given as a celebration for the abominable, but it was a reminder of His righteous judgments upon the heads of the guilty! I, for one, will NOT stand down on what offends my God, nor His children (Luke 17:2).

Is Trump a King, or Not?

By Cliff Kincaid

June 18, 2025

You don’t have to be Tucker Carlson to be critical of the Trump Administration’s involvement in the war between Israel and Iran. There is no treaty between the United States and Israel to come to the defense of the Jewish state. Equally significant, there has been no U.S. declaration of war on Iran. Hence, American involvement is unconstitutional. It is that simple.

Before this matter, President Trump was bombing the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen. That, too, was illegal and unconstitutional.

The critical fact is that the U.S. Congress has the power to declare war but none was declared in the Houthi 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 supposedly abandoned the “neo-con” foreign policy.

Ironically, the Democrats just held “No Kings” rallies around the country, regarding deportations, federal spending cuts, and other measures. But the real concern is whether President Trump can order military cooperation with Israel as it wages war on Iran when there is no authorization from Congress. In short, does Trump have King-like powers to launch a war on his own? Of course not.

The big debate now is whether Trump authorizes “bunker buster” bombs for an Israeli strike on a key nuclear facility. That means direct U.S. involvement in a war, and the U.S. Congress has not authorized it.

Then issue is not whether the U.S. should help destroy Iran’s nuclear weapons capability. The issue is our Constitution.

After the attack on Iran, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, “Tonight, Israel took unilateral action against Iran. We are not involved in strikes against Iran and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region. Israel advised us that they believe this action was necessary for its self-defense. President Trump and the Administration have taken all necessary steps to protect our forces and remain in close contact with our regional partners. Let me be clear: Iran should not target U.S. interests or personnel.”

But Israel’s “unilateral action” could not happen without U.S. support. The U.S. may not be directly involved in “strikes” against Iran in the sense of flying the aircraft and dropping the bombs but the U.S. is helping defend Israel.

If Trump goes to Congress and asks for a declaration or authorization for war, and the Congress agrees, the debate is over. Until then, responsible conservatives must demand adherence to the U.S. Constitution.

We need a real “No Kings” debate, not the phony dialogue offered by the anti-Trump forces.

Meanwhile, U.S. “intelligence” on the matter of Iran’s acquisition of nuclear weapons is confusing.

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard, who was appointed by Trump, declared in March, “The IC [Intelligence Community] continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Khamanei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003.”

But Trump says, “I don’t care what she said. They were very close to getting a nuke,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One coming back from the G-7.

So why did Gabbard make such a statement?

Basic questions about the facts are lost in the media coverage of what is happening.

If Gabbard got it wrong, why is she still in the job? Has she been captured by the Deep State?

In the final analysis, however, the Constitution makes it clear that Congress must declare war or authorize military force, and that the President becomes Commander-in-Chief when “called into the service” of the United States by Congress.

Here is the actual language: “The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States…”

The 1991 and 2002 Authorizations for Use of Military Force (AUMFs) in the Gulf and Iraq wars were repealed in 2023.

There is no Authorization for the Use of Military Force against Iran. Meanwhile, Senator Tim Kaine has introduced a resolution “To direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran that have not been authorized by Congress.”

The issue is not Israel or Iran. It is the ability of the American people through Congress to determine American involvement in foreign wars. Our “America First” Constitution must be respected and obeyed.

This is the debate we must have now, regardless of whether you are a Democrat or Republican, Trump supporter or Trump opponent.

Another concern is what might happen if the Iranian regime falls and a civil war ensues. The region is littered with affiliates of al-Qaeda, one of which just took power in Syria. Remember that President Barack Hussein Obama supported al-Qaeda in Libya, leading to the Benghazi massacre, and then he armed the Marxist terrorist PKK/YPG Kurdish forces in Syria fighting Islamic Turkey, a NATO member.

Red Jihad: Moscow’s Final Solution for America and Israel is the book from America’s Survival, Inc. that examines Soviet/Russian strategy in the Middle East. Nothing in the Middle East makes sense unless you analyze how many of the Arab/Muslim states and the Muslim terrorist groups are Marxist in orientation and based on the concept of “liberation” from the West.

Obama’s CIA had set up the YPG, a front of the Communist terrorist PPK, and then integrated that outfit into another front, the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). This was supposedly an alternative to the pro-Russian Assad regime, which has since been overthrown.

In the end, Obama’s legacy was up to 500,000 dead in Syria, Libya became a disaster, and Germany under Angela Merkel welcomed a Muslim invasion of Europe.

Going back further in history, consider that President Jimmy Carter abandoned the Shah of Iran, leading to the takeover by the Russian-supported Mullahs now running the country and on the verge of acquiring a nuclear weapon. One major “alternative” to the regime is the MEK, or Mujahideen-e Khalq of Iran, a Marxist-oriented Islamic opposition group run by a Muslim feminist. Some Republicans support this outfit, once officially labeled a terrorist group by the U.S. Government.

Once the U.S. gets more deeply involved in this war, expect a civil war, more Russian involvement, hundreds of thousands of refugees, and no way out for America.

Owning Your Own Land

By Paul Engel

June 17, 2025

Do you own your own land?
What is your property?
What powers to local government have to tell you what you can do with your land?

If you rent rather than own your home, you may be tempted to skip over this article. I suggest you don’t, because the underlying question of ownership leading to control goes far beyond a house or land.

When people think of the American dream or what the Declaration of Independence means when it talks about “the pursuit of happiness,” what seems to come to mind most often is owning property. But do you actually own your property in America anymore? From taxes to regulations, it seems governments at all levels want to tell you what you can do with your own land. I want to take a recent experience I had as an opportunity to take a closer look at the question: Do you actually own your own land?

Local Government

This investigation started while I was researching a county commission meeting. I noticed in the agenda a proposed resolution regarding the use of “recreational vehicles (RVs) and campers,” and other structures as “permanent dwellings.” The proposed resolution would create a planning ordinance prohibiting these “readily removable” structures as permanent dwellings. This was justified by the fact that the Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) prohibited using such structures as housing.

No ready-removable shall be modified for use as residential, recreational, or emergency housing in this state.

Tenn. Code Ann. § 68-126-311(b)

The logic presented for this county resolution was two-fold. First, these structures do not meet current building codes and therefore are not safe for permanent housing. Second, the only method of enforcement of state law was cruel and dangerous, while the County Planning Department should find a “better” housing solution.

As I frequently warn you, local governments can just as easily infringe on your rights as the federal government. Yet most American pay very little attention to what goes on at this level of government. What no one in my county government seemed to realize was both their resolution and the state law were in violation of the Constitution of the United States.

Due Process

The two clauses in the Constitution which seem to be overlooked most often are the Due Process Clauses of the Fifth And Fourteenth Amendments.

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

U.S. Constitution, Amendment XIV

So what is this “due process of law” the Constitution is talking about?

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

Now, if we read the Fourteenth Amendment with that definition in mind, it means you cannot be deprived of your life, liberty, or property without a judicial or governmental process designed to protect your individual legal rights. And that is where the TCA and my county’s resolutions violate the Constitution.

Property

Let’s start with property. I’m sure we all have an idea in our minds of what is meant by the word property. James Madison wrote an essay on the topic, where he wrote:

This term in its particular application means “that dominion which one man claims and exercises over the external things of the world, in exclusion of every other individual.”

In its larger and juster meaning, it embraces every thing to which a man may attach a value and have a right; and which leaves to every one else the like advantage.

In the former sense, a man’s land, or merchandize, or money is called his property.

Property – For the National Gazette, 27 March 1792

The first thing to notice is that property isn’t just land, as it’s often used today. Anything to which you attach a value and have a right to is your property. What makes property yours is your legal ability to exercise exclusive control over it. My home is my property because I have a legal right to control it, and no one else does (except my wife). So when government claims control of my property, they are depriving me of it since I no longer have exclusive control of it. For this to be legal, it must be done with due process of law, meaning the process must protect my legal rights. For example, if the government can prove that I have failed to pay the required taxes on my home, they have a legal right to sell it to pay my debt. (I’ll talk more about taxes later.) So when the State of Tennessee or my county claims that I cannot use my property the way I want, like putting an RV or other “readily removable” structure on it for housing, they are depriving me of my property without due process of law. This is because the state has not shown how my using a readily removable structure for housing harms anyone other than myself. That makes this law a violation of the Constitution of the United States, which means it is void.

Liberty

Liberty is a pretty broad subject. In fact, I teach an entire class about rights and liberty. When the Constitution talks about liberty, I believe it means “civil liberty,” which Webster’s 1828 Dictionary defines as:

Civil liberty is the liberty of men in a state of society, or natural liberty so far only abridged and restrained, as is necessary and expedient for the safety and interest of the society, state or nation.

Liberty – Webster’s 1828 Dictionary

In other words, liberty is your right to live your life as you see fit without unnecessary external influence. So tell me, how does someone using an RV or other readily removable structure for housing post a safety hazard to the society, state, or nation? The answer is: It doesn’t. People claim that they pose a safety hazard to the occupant, but that is not a hazard to anyone else. So when the State of Tennessee claims I cannot use a readily removable structure for housing, they are depriving me of that liberty without due process of law, making the law void.

Property Taxes

While not the focus of this article, there are plenty of people who claim that if you have to pay property taxes you don’t really own your land. At the surface, there appears to be some logic to this position, but only at the surface. This position assumes that taxes are like rent, something you pay for the privilege of occupying someone else’s property. However, taxes are not rent. According to Webster’s 1828 Dictionary a tax is:

A rate or sum of money assessed on the person or property of a citizen by government, for the use of the nation or state.

Tax – Webster’s 1828 Dictionary

Therefore, a tax is a fee assessed to fund the operation of government. Before someone claims that taxes are theft because they are taken without our consent, may I point to an example from the Tennessee Constitution.

In accordance with the following provisions, all property real, personal or mixed shall be subject to taxation

Tenn. Const. Art. II, § 28

You personally may not have consented to property taxes, but the people collectively did when they adopted their constitutions. This also applies to the direct federal income tax, which we consented to when the states ratified the Sixteenth Amendment.

Consequences of Ignorance

My concern with the county resolution was not the state law, but the potential exposure it would give both to the county and its employees. As things stand now, should someone be fined for using a readily removable structure for housing, they would have a cause to sue the state under 42 USC §1983:

Every person who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress,

42 USC 1983: Civil action for deprivation of rights

If the county were to pass this resolution, they too would be liable since the deprivation of rights would be under the color of their ordinance. The consequences for state employees could be even worse, considering 18 USC § 242:

Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, … shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both;

18 USC 242: Deprivation of rights under color of law

And if the person even threatens to use a dangerous weapon, the penalties get even worse. While many in the county government threw plenty of allegations about why I opposed the resolution, as I pointed out to both you and the County Commission, I thought the liability they would expose themselves to, not to mention what their constituents would think, was not worth any benefit the people of the county would gain. It seemed many in county government pointed to the state law as justification for their ordinance, but they had forgotten 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; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding

U.S. Constitution, Article VI, Clause 2

Anything in the laws or constitution of any state that contradicts the Constitution of the United States is invalid and void, at least according to the Supreme Court.

Thus, the particular phraseology of the Constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written Constitutions, that a law repugnant to the Constitution is void, and that courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument.

Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137 (1803)

That also means that every judge in every state is bound by that document to invalidate Tennessee’s law in any case brought before them.

Planning and Zoning

Don’t get me wrong, I am not against planning and zoning, but they have to follow the Constitution and due process. In listening to the arguments for this resolution, it sounded like people wanted the Planning Department to act more like a county-wide Homeowner Association (HoA). While some had legitimate concerns about the disposal of waste water, it seemed most concerns were about the look of these structures or the stereotype of the people who lived in them.

I still don’t understand why RVs or readily removable structures can’t be required to meet the same general zoning requirements that are designed to protect the rights of their neighbors, such as set-backs, sanitary hookups, and approved electrical systems. That would take care of the legitimate concerns about these residences without infringing on their owner’s rights.

Conclusion

The underlying concern I have is the ever growing belief that governments have the right to tell people how to live their lives. While the desire to use government to get one’s own way is nothing new, in this country it seems more and more people are willing to use the power of government not only to protect their own legal rights, but to also infringe on the legal rights of others. One of the ways I’m seeing this done at the local and state level are things like planning departments, zoning laws, and building codes. While there are legitimate purposes for all of these, more often than not, they are being used to enforce the belief that government actors know better than the average citizen about how they should live their lives. My question is: Do they have the legal authority to enforce that idea?

I’m glad I found this resolution before the Commission voted on it. I hope that my comments both at the public hearings and on local media helped lead to its defeat. However, we must remain diligent as resolutions like this and others can easily be brought back. That is why I tell people it’s probably more important to focus on state and local governments than the feds. They are just as able to infringe on your rights, but since most Americans pay little attention to their local governments, this is where infringements on your rights can be slipped into the law. If you have a question about a law in your state or local government, please ask it here.

As always, stay vigilant, and learn to defend and assert your rights legally.

Now MAGA’s Are Turning On Trump?

By Kat Stensell

Jun 17, 2025

Will They NEVER LEARN???

Publicly calling out our President is the same as joining ranks with the Left, at this moment in time.

IMHO.

Tucker Carlson and Senate leader John Thune (R – SD) are two who have engaged in this treachery in the last week. Great guys, I’m sure. HOWEVER . . .

Donald Trump is OUR BEST HOPE FOR PRESERVING OUR FREEDOM. He seeks peace. Everyone must understand that by now. That is THE reality of today. Lifting legs on him does NOT preserve our Republic. It only serves to divide people.

LIKE TRUMP OR NOT, our lives are in his hands. Listen up, Tucker., et. al. We are “following” freedom far more than we follow you.

In the last week, Tucker Carlson has led the public charge to call Trump out for his handling of peace/war efforts. After the exchange of attacks between Israel and Iran, others commenters are joining in.

UpChuck Shumer, has become your new bedfellow.

The utter silence of Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R – SD) puts him in league with Shumer, and the “No Kings” Rioters.

Three groups of losers stand out: those looking for more clicks; those who honestly think that dividing Conservatives is somehow smart; and those who have been afraid of mentioning an crucial issue for fear of retaliation but now join the “Trump did wrong” gang: I am very disappointed in you all. You know who you are, and it is clear that you do not care.

Now is the time to draw Americans together against the One World Communists who are calling for more destruction this weekend and onward. Now is NOT the time to critique our leader.

It is NOT the time to whine about the most pro-American POTUS we have ever had.

In the last days, since Israel decided it could wait no longer to destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities, and Iran has fired hundreds of rockets back on Tel Aviv in retaliation, The world is on the brink of WW III.

Sane minds pray for peace.

However, the demeaning of the ONLY world leader who has stood for world peace, is beyond ignorant. For all the “truth seekers” and headline grabbers hungering for revenue from more clicks, here is the message: Your freedom to speak may well soon be gone, because you could not hold your water.

Think before you spew. Trump is the one to follow if we want to live in freedom.

Whining is for children and leftists. Patriots stand behind the only person, it seems, who wants peace. Our president is far from perfect, but he is our future.

Decide if you want to stand with Shumer and the Marxists dressed as “Republicans”, or with those of us who are praying hard, for peace.

How About Separate Stand- Alone Constitutional Bills Instead of a Huge Debt Bomb?

Authored by Devy Kidd not AI

June 16, 2025

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 Medicaid program is STAGGERING – most of which can’t be recovered. Medicaid 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 Medicaid 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.

Misc – For full disclosure I receive no compensation for recommendations.

May I also recommend you help Mike Lindell who’s done so much in exposing election fraud by shopping at MyStore. Lindell has spent a TON of his money and really needs your help. Buy Made in the USA. I have ordered from MyStore; product was perfect and delivered on time.

More Americans are looking to eat healthy. I purchase (not much as a widow and I’ve been a prepper since 1989) my meat from the local butcher. ALL cattle are local and no mRNA vaccine which is illegal to give to cattle in the State of Texas. Anywhere from 6-20% of beef now comes from foreign countries. Here’s one company you might want to look at: Prepper All Naturals.

America’s children are being sexualized even in kindergarten; local libraries carry propaganda books encouraging CHILDREN they are the wrong sex and should become ‘trans’.

Invitations To Liberals’ Stupidity, Arrogance and Vacant Mindedness

By Frosty Wooldridge

June 16, 2025

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!

Israel’s Fight is Iranian People’s Fight

By Amil Imani

June 16, 2025

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

The Coup of 1913, Replaced Tariffs With Income Taxes

By Andrew Wallace

June 15, 2025

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

Noxious Weeds and Black Mold Took Over

By Rob Pue

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.

Prism of America’s Education: Can You Handle the Truth?

By Karen Schoen

June 14, 2025

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…

So please, I ask you to share this newsletter. Share the podcast. Share the documentaries. Then choose your passion, and work to expose the Truth. 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.

Universal Injunctions

By Paul Engel

June 14, 2025

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

The Uglier Side of Electric Vehicles

By Ronald Stein, PE

June 13, 2025

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:

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Are You Prepared to Fight for Your Own Freedom?

By Tom DeWeese

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!

Enforce the Communist Control Act

By Cliff Kincaid

June 13, 2025

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.

Muslim Leader Calls for Killing Americans And Their Leaders

By Kat Stansell

Jun 12, 2025

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.

Insurrection, Sedition and Chaos Erupting Across America

By Frosty Wooldridge

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?

Can California Run By Democrats Be Saved?

By Cliff Kincaid

June 11, 2025

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.

He Raised Me Up To Fix Was is Broken Not to Run Away

By Bradlee Dean

June 11, 2025

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

Mexico vs U.S. Gun Manufacturers

By Paul Engel

June 11, 2025

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.

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.

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.

FRANCISCO: Mm-hmm.

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

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 —

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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 One Big Beautiful Bill Has Worms In It

By Kelleigh Nelson

June 10, 2025

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?

Potty Politics: The Movement Needs Wiping…

By Kat Stansell

Jun 10, 2025

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,

An America First National Bankruptcy

By Cliff Kincaid

June 10, 2025

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 Is The Month To Be Proud, Accomplishment Is What Grows Pride

By Kat Stansell

Jun 9, 2025

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.

Illegal Aliens Will Become Violent: I Told You So in 2006

Authored by Devvy Kidd not AI

June 9, 2025

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.

Consequences Of 25 Million Illegal Aliens In America

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?

Are the Courts Now Officially Running the Trump Administration?

By Cliff Kincaid

June 8, 2025

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.

We Must Tell the Emperor the Truth

by Rolaant McKenzie

June 8, 2025

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).

What’s Up With the Post Office?

By Rob Pue

June 8, 2025

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.

Permitting for Profit

By Paul Engel

June 7, 2025

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.

Trump v. Musk

By Kat Stansell

Jun 7, 2025

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.

Deport Illegals or Social Security and Welfare will be Bankrupt

By Andrew Wallace

June 7, 2025

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

What Lies Beneath

By Joan Swirsky

June 6, 2025

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!”

Another Brave Senator from Wisconsin

By Cliff Kincaid

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.

D-Day: June 6,1944—The Sea And Sands Ran Red With Blood

By Rees Lloyd (JD, ret.)

June 8, 2025

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!

And the Pulpits Are Still Silent

By Coach Dave Daubenmire

June 5, 2025

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.

Pipe Up to Stop the CO2 Pipelines

By Sidney Secular

June 5, 2025

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.

Water and Weather Modification – Crisis

Authored by Devvy Kidd not AI

June 3, 2025

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.

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.

Creating A Social Credit Score Like China? Total Control Over Your Lives, Literally!

By Bradlee Dean

June 4, 2025

“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.”

Our Current Situation and Pending Mostly Catastrophic Issues

By Andrew Wallace

June 3, 2025

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

The Real ID, Stargate and a Cashless Society

By Kelleigh Nelson

June 3, 2025

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.

The Left Tries Dark Money Solutions For Their Dying Party

By Kat Stansell

June 2, 2025

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.

NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo: Illegal Immigration Is An Artificial Issue

By Frosty Wooldridge

June 2, 2025

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!

The Amount of Money Wasted on Net-Zero Green Policies is Staggering!

Co-authored by Ronald Stein, P.E. and John McBratney

June 1, 2025

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.

Find Your True Self and Evil Looses It’s Power

By Late Roy Masters – 1928/2021

June 1, 2025

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.
