“MAYDAY” FOR RESPONSIBLE HOMEOWNERS: Have you worked hard to keep you finances in good shape? Have you tried all kinds of methods and manipulations to increase your credit score? No matter – all that effort is now to be applied for the “greater good” for the greater doofus(es), so to speak. Joe “The Blow” Biden (JB) can now take advantage of your hard work to help those who don’t have your habits of thrift, self-control and financial planning to give them the goodies they don’t deserve and perhaps were incapable of legally obtaining in the first place. This is the Communist leveling and equity thing where merit and worth are not lauded and go for “nought’ in a zero sum game where the “zeroes” get the goodies and the worthy are taken down while the unworthy (that is, the worthless) are ratcheted up an equal number of notches to create the desired (and artificial) “level playing field.” JB has no respect for hard work since he never did any and therefore couldn’t appreciate the sense of accomplishment in achieving a goal obtained through that method.
His latest scheme began on May 1st, or “May Day,” the now worldwide celebration of socialist “achievements!” Before the modern era, May 1st celebrated the arrival of Spring with sprigs of flowers and even merry events like picnics and dancing until this innocent revelry was usurped and reserved for “springing” surprises on the unsuspecting and/or celebrating communist takeovers in the form of parades of military hardware and mindless soldiers, a sight that used to be an annual Kremlin tradition. But things have changed (sort of). This year, starting on May 1st, if your credit score is 680 or above and you sign up for a mortgage it will cost you more in loan fees than heretofore. This means that in essence you automatically have a higher interest rate than you expected or bargained for. Let’s look at a representative example: with the Biden “give to the lazy” stipend, you will pay about $40 a month more to pay off a $400,000 mortgage than otherwise would have been the case. Sandra Thompson, the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency says that your new monthly rate is now considered a “donation” to help subsidize people with lower credit scores get a mortgage that those lower scores would otherwise prevent. This bookkeeping sleight of hand will supposedly help prospective borrowers limited by income and/or wealth through “minimal fee changes.” How the monthly contribution of the “good credit” borrower translates in practical terms to helping slackers take up the financial slack wasn’t made manifest and one suspects that it is merely another lure for the votes of the “victim class.”
This program sounds like another scheme to create more foreclosures on those not cut out to be homeowners despite all the financial assistance given to them – and it has been tried before with so-called “sub-prime” mortgages intended to give the opportunity for all Americans to own a house even if they don’t pay their present rent on time. It would allow the piranhas like BlackRock and the lesser loan sharks to acquire more properties at bargain basement prices where they could make high profits on rental units or to increase the government subsidized housing stock to accommodate the hordes of illegals and foreign “temporary” tech workers invading or crawling all over the country now. All of this to create more misery and homelessness for all citizens and not just those at the financial margins.
PUBLIC SCHOOL EXIT(PSE): The movement to leave the public schools is accelerating as indoctrination and low quality educational outcomes are ever more apparent. This was especially obvious during the Covid lockdowns. A website has been formed to furnish consulting advice on this matter to churches and the general public. Their internet address is www.PublicSchoolExit.com. where you can download a free guide on the subject. Their hard contact information is: Frontline Ministries and Exodus Mandate, P.O. Box 12072, Columbia, SC 29211. Another associated website is: www. ExodusMandate.org. Contact: E. Ray Moore, TH M. Email: Exodusmandate@gmail.com. Telephone 803-714-1744. America’s children are at great risk in the hands of today’s “educational establishment.” If homeschooling is not possible, then certainly concerned parents should look into these alternatives while there is still time.
ON-LINE HOME SCHOOL K-12 LEARNING ACADEMY: This is another alternative educational source in place of the public school system. The Freedom Project Academy has an award winning program using the best teachers and teaching methods designed to teach kids how to think and not what to think with critical thinking skills in the classical tradition. There are several “tracks” from which to choose. This program is leaving the public school curriculum in the dust. Tuition assistance is available. Enrollment begins each April. Check out www.fpeusa.org for information and costs.
SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION FINDS HIS VOICE FOR THE (SUPPOSEDLY) VOICELESS: Secretary Butt-gig, unable to offer solutions or even discuss very vexing problems such as the now suddenly alarmingly common problem of train derailments, severe supply chain breakdowns, increasing flight delays and the present routine airline flight system malfunctions including the sudden death of flight crews in the air (!) is engaging in flights of fancy when he blames “racism” for causing an undue number of roadway fatalities. Pete is under the delusion that we have “racist roads” carelessly designed with inadequate safety features that are causing an undue amount of accidents for minority Americans, tribal citizens, and various rural residents whether in a vehicle or acting as pedestrians. That is a “conspiracy theory” exceeding any fantasy that the left has yet dredged up in their deranged minds. The insane accusation was made in remarks in a conversation with the sharp-tongued Al Sharpton on MSNBC. I guess all those architects and engineers out there have colluded in a massive campaign over the years to harm minorities, a matter that somehow has just come to light.
GET TOGETHER . . .RIGHT NOW . . .OVER US: We can feel the pall – it seems to cover all – our national existence has become an existential question that seems to permeate the air like a foggy miasma as we slog along wondering what they have in store for us next. Each day brings a new assault on our senses and common sense. We know we must form communities with those who have some modicum of sense left. We need to raise our tent flaps and bring in like-minded people. We must avoid flapping lips and rapping differences of opinion. We must throw out labels liable to divide us and are liabilities in creating a common cause. Republican, Democrat, &etc. are just workhorse words of the same blue (formerly pinko) color nowadays. We must end the holier-than-thou comparisons or the country will go to hell very, very soon. Decent, intelligent Americans must unite against the Left which is so far out in left field that they consider America itself to be the problem.
Marxism has been creeping up the walls of academia like poison ivy encroaching upon the foundations of our institutions for many decades now, sucking and squeezing the life out of its formerly intelligent victims and now the rapidity of the spread is all too apparent leaving intelligent and decent people with a sense of dread while looking to confused, and outdated solutions. Check and chuck your party labels at the door if we are to have a party that embraces survival! And here’s a way to make the effort both dramatic and fun: in a group of intelligent people, pass around a small basket and ask everyone to throw their party labels into it. And remember, that action comes before passing the hat for donations! Intelligent, rational and decent people will get the message and smile. Once you elicit a smile, you have broken down resistance to the points you are about to make. As noted above, invite only people who still have their intellect and morals intact and are capable of appreciating truth. Apply the old 80-20 rule. If we can agree on 80% of the important stuff, we can put aside the 20% and work together. Those “20%” issues will then fade away or resolve themselves. Remember, Spring springs eternal, and the little seeds you sow in people’s heads will grow if they are in a nurturing environment. One note: if the above is to work, it will have to be done soon because the “Rainbow coalition” has introduced people who refuse on pain of them killing you to except the understanding of reality. When you have gone down the rabbit hole of delusion, you can no longer participate in the reality itself.
THE TOUR DE FARCE OF ELECTRIC CARS: It’s amazing how this impossible scheme/dream can continue despite the fact that anyone with any sense can see this battery driven crusade will soon hit a brick wall and be battered and “totaled” by reality itself. This is a hugely expensive, impossible to fully implement and impractical exercise in political showboating and virtue signaling that has to stop dead in its tire tracks when the electricity required for it will have been drained away sufficiently from other uses thus causing the economy to implode. After all is said and can be done, a fully implemented program (impossible, anyway) would reduce global warming by at most 0.03 of a degree Fahrenheit by 2100, but it will run out of juice long before then. Manufacturing an EV battery produces from 10 to 30 tons of CO2 which would offset 2 to 5 years’ emissions reduction from EV adoption. And that stat ignores the environmental impact of producing that EV battery.
There really are really serious implementation problems in the electric car narrative. Critical elements that compose the batteries are in short supply and are soaring in cost as demand soars. These include the all-important lithium along with seventeen other critical battery minerals all of which are 100% imported from hostile suppliers like China. If all US vehicles were EVs, they would require half of today’s total of US electric power production. Consider all the generation, centralized transformers, transmission facilities, and local distribution networks that would have to be upgraded. Renewable energy sources for charging are not an answer. We would need 300,000 wind turbines just to charge EVs which would take up to 25 million acres of land. Solar is not even land and material efficient. Pushing electric cars as a panacea is the most brazen, ludicrous, expensive and, not to mention dangerous scam ever conceived. Furthermore, many suspect (correctly) that it is not the fact that the transportation would be driven by electricity rather than fossil fuels, but the fact that electric anything is far easier to control and therefore works well within a “social credit system.” If you don’t comply, you don’t go! Simple! Note: There is a recent video showing a large excavator picking up a burning electric car and throwing it over a wall so that it can burn “safely” in a ditch. These cars are known to burst into flame without either reason or warning. Who knew that our government would command its citizens to drive lethal weapons – that is, car bombs.
JANUARY 6th (J6) PRISON CHOIR: A song performed by the J6 political prisoners gives us a Number One hit! The single, “Justice for All” reached the top of iTunes sales on March 11th, days after its release, outperforming chart toppers by celebrities Miley Cyrus and Morgan Wallen. Dubbed the J6 Prison Choir, the men sing a heart-stirring solemn rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. President Trump recites the Pledge of Allegiance in-between the National Anthem verses. Check the choir’s “Justice for All” website, www.j6choir.com. The site advertises a 45 rpm vinyl record that contains both the single and a special bonus audio recording from Trump. Sales proceeds will go to an LLC run by conservative commentator Ed Henry who spearheaded the project.
GUNS CARRIED BY SOME “TOP GUNS” IN CONGRESS: Congressional Democrats are bidding Biden implement a new rule that will make it impossible for Congressional Republicans to carry concealed firearms on Capitol Hill. Apparently, they have begun to believe their own lying propaganda since they repeat their anti-gun tirades nearly daily. Calipornia Demonrat Jared Huffman was joined by thirteen other House Dems in the tongue-in-cheek but not so cheeky letter. This obviously is a shot at House Republicans who actually are armed during Congressional sessions so they can show they practice what they preach and avoid annoyed Trans. The Dems with their collective guilty conscience are afraid they may actually arouse enough ire with their false accusations to be fired upon.
REPUBLICAN PUSHBACK CAUSES CREDIT CARD COMPANIES TO BACK DOWN: In the matter presented, it is probable that a blowback from customers also had to be considered. Visa and Mastercard were planning to create a separate merchant code for gun-store transactions in order to enable the gun-grabbers to track gun purchases. However, they backed down when Republican states attorneys general and Republican states legislators sent a letter to the credit card companies threatening legal action over the adoption of such unconstitutional action.
TODAY’S LAWLESS LAW: Leftist prosecutors and judges seem to have it in for at least some of today’s defendants without regard to considerations of innocence or guilt. The methods being used against those targeted include withholding evidence that would help the defendant, engaging false witnesses, reducing or dropping charges for perjury against the defendant and piling on false charges until the defendant gives up and incriminates and sacrifices himself with a plea bargain, something that reminds us of the treatment of General Flynn early on in the Trump Administration. Meanwhile, the release of exonerating evidence to help the defendant is mischaracterized as a “security threat” or an invasion of privacy. This is a money maker for the system and allows many more cases to be heard since trial times are greatly shortened and allows for more fines to be levied. All of this egregiousness is being manifested and sharply illustrated in connection with the Stalinist style “J6 show trials.” That lengthy show illustrates that no one is safe from the FedGov.
Of course, the bulk of those charged with often serious crimes – the blacks and browns – are given a pass from prosecution and persecution by characterizing their common types of crime as mere annoyances even when attended by serious casualties. As a result, the government responds with slaps on the wrist to show where the favoritisms doth flow. Of course, this also lightens court dockets and allows the system to concentrate on those with lighter skins who can afford the heavier fines and are known enemies of social justice anyway.
“STREET TAKEOVERS” – PUSHING THE LIMITS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AND REDUCING THE TOLERATION OF CRIME: Yet another “side effect” of the government’s response to Covidiocy is the increasing prevalence of the popular “street takeovers” in areas of black concentration in blue cities nationwide that are leaving people “black and blue”. The events present very dangerous situations for participants, onlookers, and law enforcement, sometimes leading to injury and even death. “Motor Trend” magazine described the activity as a large group of cars commanding (commandeering – editor) an intersection or parking lot and engaging in stunts and burnouts thus drawing large crowds awed by the action and getting fired up in turn. Tires explode, bystanders get hit by the cars, fights break out and shootings occur but that only adds to the lurid allure of the events. Some outlandishly dangerous activity has been noted at the events such as lasers pointed at aircraft and cars driven at over 130 mph without lights after dark. The events also serve as cover for flash mobs to then loot nearby businesses.
Social media announces the activity so participants can quickly pounce on the chosen area. Often the takeovers last just long enough to give the participants a taste of risky behavior after which they break up just before the police arrive. One state, Texas, has created a task force to counter the activity. The material for this article was gleaned from the “New American” magazine, a publication of the John Birch Society. One can subscribe to the publication without becoming a Society member. That society, like so many patriotic organizations remains race blind and thus averse to reporting that the culprits are black youth, as if just anyone would be crazy enough to engage in such behavior.
THE PENTAGON BRAZENLY ANNOUNCES CAMPAIGN TO DECEIVE THE PUBLIC WITH “DEEPFAKE” PRODUCTIONS: The US military’s Special Operations Command (SOCOM) is “gearing up” to conduct internet propaganda and deception campaigns using “deepfake” videos and tools to use to deceive the public, not a difficult thing to do in these days of people who don’t know what women are, it seems! The FedGov wants to develop “next generation” technical capabilities and identify the types of campaigns that would result in misinformation the public would accept and believe as true. The “Internet of Things,” a system whereby all manner of everyday equipment and devices are hooked up to the internet and can be used to spy on any person engaged in any activity, would be used in this endeavor.
This “need” was published in a “Broad Agency Announcement,” a device used to solicit “unsolicited proposals” (how’s that for an oxymoron!) that if deemed satisfactory would result in sole source contracts obviating the need to conduct a formal procurement process, thus avoiding the rigor and rigamarole of doing things right, fair, and – you know – legal. I used to review such “animals” when I worked for the US Small Business administration and perused the publication called the “Commerce Business Daily” looking for opportunities for small business participation. The FedGov has reached the point where it can conduct blatantly unconstitutional activity without worrying about the consequences or damage it may cause. Parenthetically, if this goes forward, look for ever increasing revelations about extraterrestrial contacts. Recently, the ether is filled with stories of the government’s knowledge of and cooperation with E.T.!
TEXAS CONTINUES TO MAKE “NOISES” ABOUT SECESSION: Texas State Representative Bryan Slaton (R) filed the Texas Independence Referendum Act (H.B. 3569) or TEXIT on March 6. It would allow voters in the 2024 election to decide “whether or not the State should investigate the possibility of Texas independence and present potential plans to the Legislature.” Once passed, the Act would require the establishment of a joint interim “Texas Independence Committee” to study and recommend to the Legislature by December 31, 2024, the “most effective and expeditious method by which Texas may be returned to its status as an independent nation.” The bill is supported by the “Texas Nationalist Movement,” an organization of over 440,000 members fighting for the State’s independence. Current support for TEXIT is strong with 56% of likely voters in favor of it. Maybe the present invasion across the Rio Grande will lead to a good outcome after all – at least for Texans.
TAKING A SHOT THAT THE DEMOCRATS DEEM SHOCKING: Those good guys aren’t shooting blanks at point blank range this time. While the dumb Dems are using any opening to make AR-15 style rifles seem dangerous and scary to the ignorant and ritually frightened, some Republicans are pushing back and embracing the so-called assault weapon as a symbol of defiance. Representative Barry Moore (R-AL) has introduced a bill that would make the AR-15 the “National Gun of America”. Some other Republicans caused an outrage among leftists by wearing AR-15 lapel pins. Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) will give you one if you step by his office (I am at present asking directions to same!)
THE SWISS SYSTEM AND WHY IT WORKS: The Swiss political system is not cheesy nor is it full of holes. Because of its demography, topography, and neutrality, the country has had peace for 700 years. These factors and features have allowed for direct democracy as the ancient Greeks and the early New Englanders may have had. The Swiss have referenda on all important issues. Among the issues are those that elsewhere would fall under the purview of elected representatives. Living in preponderantly small towns and villages called cantons helps to foster a feeling of belonging and avoids the diversity and divisiveness of ordinary urban society. The Swiss do have representatives but most decisions are made by locals. The Swiss have 3 ethnic components – the Italians, French and Germans, but since everyone mixes together and nearly all know the 3 languages, a basic commonality and camaraderie are engendered. Swiss citizens between 20 and 50 all serve in the armed forces and all military members take their weapons home with them at night, so crime is discouraged and there is little of it to speak of, except among the few Muslims that unfortunately have been allowed into the country. The Swiss avoid foreign entanglements as George Washington advised us to do, and have remained neutral in all wars and foreign disputes affecting Europeans. That is the way to avoid friction and the formation of factions that fracture a society. Note: Obviously, from the information above, the other thing that ties Switzerland together is that all three ethnic groups mentioned above are, ssssshhhh, WHITE!
PRONOUNCED, PERSISTENT BUSINESS PESSIMISM: An analysis by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) shows that small businesses are feeling the crunch from a lingering and still growing recession. The NFIB report marked the 15th consecutive month in which a majority of small business owners are expecting worsening conditions over the next six months. This is hammering hiring plans and is contributing to the ongoing high unemployment situation. Of course, small business took perhaps a fatal hit during the COVID “lockdowns” when the Big Box stores were somehow considered safer for the health of shoppers than one’s local commercial enterprises. But nobody suspects that it was a planned hit against independent business . . . yeah.
FIXATED ON CENSORSHIP: The Dems, especially, can’t seem to get enough of censorship. The Covid crackdowns seemed to have increased their appetite to control their cultural and social environments using “snowflakery” super sensitivity and demonization of any possible dissent writ large. A new poll by Pew Research shows that 65% of Democrats support the FedGov taking steps to limit what they conceive of as “misinformation” on the internet while another 76% believe tech companies like Facebook and Google should censor information on the net. More frightening is the fact that a full one-third of Republicans agree – a very high number for a cohort that supposedly champions free speech. You’d think they’d know better, or, perhaps, maybe it is we who should know better!
WALMART FLEES CHICAGO: Feeling fleeced by shoplifting and unable to produce much city government response to the situation, mega merchandise chain Walmart has announced it is leaving the Windy City. The commercial giant is so cowed by black light fingers combined with super-sensitivity and the possible blowback, that it has denied that the move was made because of high crime levels! In so doing, Walmart is, of course, denying blacks the criticism they are due, in a sense and so to speak.
WHOLE FOODS LEAVES SAN FRANCISCO: In another business “crash and burn,” the blue city by the bay is singing the blues because this major food retailer and Amazon outlet is pulling up stakes as it can no longer abide the losses due to ‘Frisco’s newest major sport, shoplifting. The business won’t accept the idea that the city government is doing nothing to stop crime so Whole Foods has taken the initiative of removing the temptation from those the city refuses to police. Creating a sanctuary city is sure to increase crime, but the chain wants to have its gourmet cake and eat it too at least before the “unfortunates” do.
A RAY OF HOPE? Apparently, younger voters are not as alienated from the GOP we have been told, but of course that’s not saying much anymore. While many young voters don’t necessarily identify as Republicans, they have become increasingly wary of the far left’s political agenda, and many – if they still have the orbs to see – are realizing that they don’t belong in the looney left’s far out orbit. The GOP gained 7 points among 18-29 year-olds and 15 points with 30-44 year-olds between midterm elections. Among GOP voters under age 30, 66% want Trump to run again, the highest of any age group. In several battleground states, Gen Z (born 1997 to 2015) voters supported Republican congressional candidates at higher rates than did Millennials (born 1981 to 1996). Young men remain considerably less liberal than young women, and a growing portion are rejecting the left’s gender idiocy – er, ideology, even while Boomers (born 1946 to 1964) uphold it. Gen Z seems to have their heads on right when it comes to immigration with 81% saying immigrants must follow the rules. 58% of Gen Z say that if illegals cause problems, they should be forced to leave. Gen Z Republicans are especially supportive of that policy with 86% in agreement. These stats come from writers on the site, www.GetLiberty.org
NEW THIRD PARTY* SHOWS PROMISE: If all the so-called Independents got together and tried to establish enough uniformity to act as a cohesive force, this new movement might just fill that bill. At an event attended by thousands in Austin, Texas on April 3rd through 5th the new Independent National Convention (INC) held a plenary meeting to chart a new political future for America and challenge the current two-headed hydra monstrosity. The seemingly incongruent title of the event was “Our Independence Is What Unites Us” as the movement moves to join the disparate elements with equally disparate agendas into a force sufficient to topple the existing farce of phony choices presently given to Americans. Dozens of speakers addressed such issues as interventionist wars, medical tyranny and the development of a new (and independent) media to replace the oppressive mainstream “legacy” media. Also on the plate were election reform and an emphasis on localized and localizing agriculture.
The three keynote speakers were former Rep. Dennis Kucinich who spoke on government overreach – hardly a difficult topic to develop these days of armed bureaucrats in the homes of peaceful pro-lifers at 6 AM! – Christopher Hedges who spoke on economic issues and Tulsi Gabbard, former Congresswoman, who addressed peace issues and foreign policy. Architect Richard Gage, heavily engaged in the 9/11 Truther Movement, also spoke and said that when the truth about 9/11 finally breaks through the dam of government censorship and when its damned lies are finally exposed, “. . . the phoenix will rise from the ashes.” I have been saying basically the same thing as the 9/11 event has been the gateway into our present hell of contrived wars and contrived control of the people of America. [*The term “third party” is misleading. It could only be a “third party” if we had two other parties. But we have not had such a situation in government for a long, long time. Indeed, journalist and Reagan official Patrick Buchanan put it best when he stated that “Republicans and Democrats are two wings on the same bird of prey.” Who knows? If this works, Americans might again have two parties!]
“NATIONAL DIVORCE” UNDERWAY WITHOUT FORMALITIES AND FANFARE. Rasmussen polling indicates 34% of the populace approves of a “national divorce” which includes 47% of GOP voters. How the final separation will occur and what it will look like is still not discernable, but the irreconcilable red and blue are a symptom of a continental divide, akin to a widening fissure in the earth. To hasten the process – which needs to be moved along “post haste” while there is anything left to save! – we need to build our own conservative parallel economy. We need to spend our limited funds only with patriotic and “unwoke” companies. The far left woke companies need to be left behind in influence if not in the present size of their bank accounts. The second part of the process is to hasten “The Great American Relocation” for people to move to get away from the extreme woke states and their woeful financial situations, mushrooming taxes and criminal behavior. Vote with your feet since they have control of the voting machines and voter rolls at least in the blue and battleground states. The indigo states of New York, New Jersey, Calipornia, and Illinois are losing population to the likes of the more “red” states like Florida, Texas, Idaho, the Carolinas, Idaho, and Utah which operate with far lower levels of red ink despite being identified as “red.”
The fastest growing states with the best economies and lowest unemployment are the red states. Incomes, assets, and businesses need to move to friendlier locales. Some blue Yankee bummers will follow suit but those states and their citizens need to consciously be sure that they don’t allow the liberal migrants to take over and start dominating the scene as is their wont. The demented states of mind the blues carry with them were the reason that their “home” states declined in the first place and intelligent Americans need to be aware of and protect against their proclivities. There is $4.3 trillion of consumer spending now going to the woke companies. Our aim must be to divert at least 10% of that to patriotic companies and organizations. A new book titled, “The Great Patriot Buy-cott” is an excellent guide for this process. The book is an outgrowth of the “Buy American” books that appealed to patriots in the past. The author is Wayne Allan Root. The book is softcover and 332 pages long; it should not be overly problematic to read. The book should be available on Amazon – at least for now – or can it be ordered through the patriotic publication, American Free Press. Call 1-888-699-6397, Monday through Thursday, for ordering details. But, of course, if the idea is to “buy American,” the second option seems to fill the bill!
