NYPD shifts focus from jihad terror groups to ‘far-right and extremist hate groups’

The NYPD is adjusting its focus to fit the Left’s narrative, not reality. Remember: It wasn’t “far-right extremists” who rioted all summer in Portland, Seattle, Kenosha, Wisconsin, New York, Atlanta, Washington, DC, and numerous other cities that I have already forgotten. It was Leftists: Antifa and Black Lives Matter, who have also been found to have been among those storming the Capitol that is being used as a Reichstag Fire pretext to shut down dissent from the Leftist agenda. When the NYPD talks about “far-right and extremist hate groups,” it likely really means ordinary citizens who oppose the dominant political philosophy, including those who have already been defamed by the Southern Poverty Law Center as “hate groups.” Lies such as what the NYPD is spreading here are in service of solidifying the hegemony of that philosophy.

“NYPD’s focus on terror shifts to local extremist groups”

by Rocco Parascandola, New York Daily News, January 30, 2021:

The NYPD has spent the past 20 years adapting to the ever-changing landscape of terrorism, focused first on large jihadist groups, then lone wolves who emerge out of nowhere, and now far-right and extremist hate groups.

In late 2019, the nation’s largest police department created a new unit within the Intelligence Bureau called REME, which stands for Racially and Ethnically Motivated Extremism. It was formed a year after a brawl on the Upper East Side between anti-fascists believed to be connected to Antifa and members of the Proud Boys, one of the more prominent far-right groups.

REME works similarly to its’ umbrella unit, with two dozen investigators and analysts applying the same intelligence gathering techniques used to build cases against members of ISIS and al Qaeda.

But there are differences, notably the laws that make it easier to charge someone linked to a designated foreign terrorist organization….

Young, Healthy and Woke Jumping the Line for China Virus Vaccine

I’m not picking on Stacey Griffith per se, because you know there are others like her who have been so freaked out by Dr. Fauci (and Chairman Joe) that they are willing to push grannies out of the way in order to get an experimental vaccine.

It really is amazing how powerful herd mentality can be.

Snagging the vaccine appears to be the new craze for the Lefties.

President Trump was criticized for trying to keep Americans calm about the pandemic, but now the Fauci (Biden) frenzy is unleashed and has gone into high gear.

From Yahoo Life:

SoulCycle instructor apologizes for getting COVID-19 vaccine, which sparked backlash

A star instructor for the trendy cycling workout brand is backpedaling after being criticized for getting the COVID-19 vaccine under the pretense of being a teacher.

On Friday, Stacey Griffith — a top fitness coach in New York City who, according to a recent Vox report, makes at least $800 per class — shared footage from her trip to Staten Island to get the Moderna vaccine.

“Now I can teach @SoulCycle with a little more faith that we’re all gonna be OK if we get the [vaccine],” Griffith, whose celebrity clients have included Kelly Ripa and Madonna, told her 64,000 followers on Instagram.

It didn’t take long for many of those followers to chide the 52-year-old author of Two Turns from Zero for bypassing elderly and high-risk individuals who have yet to be vaccinated.

“Let’s celebrate that we are making the world safe for in-person spin class in the midst of a global pandemic,” read one comment, from a woman who shared that she and her wife, a cancer patient, were still months away from being eligible for their own shots. “What’s left of any respect that I had for Soul and the leaders it celebrates is done and gone.”

There is more if you feel like reading it.

Jen Psaki Says She’ll ‘Circle Back’ To Question About Why Biden Is Currently Wandering Press Room Sniffing Reporters

WASHINGTON, D.C.—During a press conference Thursday, Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked why Joe Biden was currently wandering around the room getting “a good whiff” of various female reporters’ hair.

She deftly handled the question, promising to “circle back” to it before taking another question about which Ninja Turtle is Joe Biden’s favorite.

“Yes, um, hi, Press Secretary Psaki. Can you tell me why Joe currently has his nose buried two inches into my bun?” asked a CNN reporter. “And to clarify, I have the utmost respect for you and for the president, may he live forever, so I’m not challenging you. I was just curious. Because I’m a little uncomfortable. But again, that’s probably just me!”

“Yes, great question. We’ll circle back to that,” Psaki said as Biden wandered around the room sniffing woman after woman. “Anyone else? Yes, great question. Joe Biden’s favorite Ninja Turtle is definitely Donatello. Everyone knows Don is the best. Haha. You guys are awesome! Great job, team!”

Psaki went on to answer questions about how Joe Biden likes his steaks done, what his favorite color is, and what he orders at Starbucks before closing up the press conference for the day.

Violent terror group BLM nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

President Trump did the impossible, peace in the Middle East.

BLM brought bloodshed, riots and terror. Who will the globalists reward?

“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet ….”

BLM is submitted for a Nobel Peace Prize for fighting against racial injustice…. but the summer of violence and riots carried out in its name are glossed over in the nomination

  • Petter Eide, a Norwegian politician, has nominated BLM for the annual prize
  • Eide said he wanted the group recognized for raising awareness of racism
  • He said that incidents of violence were vastly outnumbered by peaceful protest
    BLM, founded 2013, sprung into action this summer after George Floyd’s killing
  • Fringe groups of agitators took advantage of the peaceful protests to riot
  • Businesses and shops were burnt amid violent confrontations with police
  • Nominations for the Prize must be in by Feb 1: the winner is announced October

By Harriet Alexander For Dailymail.com, 30 January 2021

Black Lives Matter has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of what the nominator said was BLM’s impact in raising awareness of racism worldwide.

Despite a turbulent summer in the United States following the death of George Floyd, which saw some BLM protests splinter into violent confrontation, the group was praised for forcing important conversations.

Petter Eide, the Norwegian parliamentarian who nominated BLM, dismissed questions about violence carried out in the movement’s name.

BRILLIANT: Ohio Republicans Propose Designating June 14th as ‘President Donald J. Trump Day’

The enemy party is working furiously to scrub American history of the greatest President in modern history. They must be defeated.

Ohio Republicans Propose Designating June 14th as ‘President Donald J. Trump Day’

Two Ohio state lawmakers suggested designating June 14 as “President Donald J. Trump Day” to honor the former president.

By Allen Zhong, The Epoch Times, January 30, 2021 Updated: January 30, 2021

“Let’s show the 3,154,834 Ohio voters (a record and historic number of votes received for president in Ohio) who cast their ballot to re-elect Donald J. Trump that we as a legislature recognize the accomplishments of his administration, and that the Ohio House believes it is imperative we set aside a day to celebrate one of the greatest presidents in American history,” state Rep. Jon Cross (R-Ohio) and Reggie Stoltzfus (R-Ohio) wrote in a memorandum to all House members.

The duo praised Trump who accomplished many things that led America to unparalleled prosperity “against great odds.”

It’s unclear if this suggestion will be adopted widely by the Republican-controlled state House. The Republicans hold a strong majority 64–35 over the Ohio Democratic Party in the Ohio House.

Ohio House Speaker Robert R. Cupp didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from The Epoch Times.

The former president—who launched the MAGA (Make America Great Again) movement in the United States and changed the country and the Republican Party substantially—still maintains significant influence at the national and state level.

He agreed with U.S. House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) to help the GOP to become a majority in the House after a meeting at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach on Thursday.

“Today, President Trump committed to helping elect Republicans in the House and Senate in 2022,” McCarthy said in a statement. “A united conservative movement will strengthen the bonds of our citizens and uphold the freedoms our country was founded on.”

At the state level, Trump secured one of his allies, Kelli Ward, the position of Arizona GOP chairwoman on Jan. 22 with a last-minute endorsement.

Ward won 51.5 percent of the vote, to 48.5 percent for challenger Sergio Arellano in the second round of voting.

“The decision is ours. Are you going to reelect me and show the state, the country, and the world that we are an America first Arizona, or will we go back to the dark days before Trump?” Ward said while presenting her case before the vote.

Rural People Want Separation and Freedom from Elite City Overlords

Here is one example of where rural people are fighting back, even if it seems like it is a hopeless case.

I expect it is happening in other states too.

From The Hill:

Group in Colorado county seeks secession from state to join Wyoming

A group of disenfranchised Colorado residents are exploring the possibility of annexing from their home state and changing boundary lines so their entire county becomes part of Wyoming.

Christopher “Todd” Richards is leading the effort with his “Weld County Wyoming” political committee, created last February, according to local outlet Fox 31 KDVR.

The organization is working to get a measure added to the November 2021 ballot that would encourage county commissioners to “engage and explore the annexation of Weld County with the State of Wyoming’s Legislature.”

The purpose of the measure is to “get out from under the thumb” of Colorado’s more liberal government, according to the group’s Facebook page.

“Can this be done? Yes, it can be done. Is it going to be easy? No,” Richards said during a meeting posted to YouTube in November.

Whether it can be done or not, this is the kind of thing many rural communities should be pushing because it helps to educate Americans about how rural people, the country class, have had enough and they are fighting back.

It is a warning shot to the elitists, a warning to the ruling class, and one that does garner mainstream media attention.

By the way, for those who do not follow my Refugee Resettlement blog here is a little factoid.  Wyoming is the only state in the nation that does not resettle refugees and never has in the forty years the UN and the feds have been spreading the third world to rural America.

VIDEO: Psychologist Explains the Unhealthy Incentives Behind ‘Cancel Culture’

If there was a video documenting every second of my life, you can bet it would contain some pretty stupid comments I’ve made over the years. I would also probably be reminded of some opinions I no longer believe. If you’re being honest with yourself, yours likely would be equally cringe.

The things we have said in the past may not have been outrageously offensive, but we have all made comments, or held opinions, we later regret. We are, after all, inherently flawed creatures.

But imagine if one instance of poor judgment or one “fringe” opinion stuck with you forever. This is the problem our society is now facing with the prevalence of cancel culture.

In 2016, then-high school freshman Mimi Groves posted a video to Snapchat in which she used a racial slur. The video later circulated around her school, though it wasn’t met with controversy at the time.

Fellow classmate Jimmy Galligan hadn’t seen the footage until last year when the two were seniors—four years after it first made the rounds at Heritage High School. By this time, Groves had moved on to focus on her role as varsity cheer captain with big dreams of attending the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, a school known for its nationally ranked cheer squad.

For Groves, summer 2020 had been a time of celebration as she found out she had been accepted to the university’s cheer team. But her joy was short-lived when the death of George Floyd rightly outraged the nation, sparking a resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Like many teens, Groves used her social media platforms to urge people to protest, donate, and sign petitions in support of ending police brutality. It was then that her unfortunate video came back to haunt her.

“You have the audacity to post this, after saying the N-word,” one commenter, unknown to the teen, posted on her Instagram.

That’s when her phone began ringing nonstop.

Galligan had held onto the video made four years earlier and had chosen to celebrate Groves’ admission to UT by blasting the footage to every major social media platform.

As the video began going viral, public outrage ensued, calling for the university to rescind her acceptance.

Capitulating to the mob, UT removed her from their cheer team, a decision that resulted in Groves withdrawing from the school because of what she perceived as pressure from the school’s admissions office.

Make no mistake, making racial slurs of any kind is demeaning and inappropriate behavior. But is one comment made four years prior enough to ruin the future of a teen who hadn’t even entered adulthood yet?

The court of public opinion said yes, without giving Groves any chance at redemption.

Why People ‘Cancel’

Groves’ story is just one of many.

Cancel culture has become more widespread over the last several years than anyone could have imagined. When I penned this article on the topic two years ago, I had no idea the problem would escalate to the level it has reached today.

But cancel culture isn’t reserved only for those who have made distasteful comments in the past.

Today, those espousing any opinion that goes against “woke” rhetoric are ridiculed online, fired from their jobs, and some are banned from using popular social media platforms altogether.

One University of North Carolina Wilmington professor, Mike Adams, even took his own life after tweets construed as offensive pushed him into early retirement after years of service to the institution.

Jonathan Haidt, author of The Righteous Mind and co-author of The Coddling of the American Mindhas been an outspoken critic of the cancel culture phenomenon for some time.

“Part of a call-out culture is you get credit based on what someone else said if you ‘call it out,'” he said in a 2018 interview.

This virtue signaling, which is really just a means of proving to society how “good” and “moral” your views are, is only half of the equation, however. Cancel culture is also about personal destruction, which is obvious in Groves’ situation, since Galligan didn’t use this ammunition against her until the time was ripe for maximum harm.

“It(cancel culture) has reached a level of personal vindictiveness, where people go out of their way to find ways the things other people say could be construed as insensitive,” Haidt said.

Slurs and inappropriate comments aside, cancel culture has made people scared to share their opinions lest they be condemned for thinking “incorrectly” about any given issue.

We now live in an era where people are constantly looking over their shoulders, or computer screens, worried that whatever opinion they post might make them victims of cancel culture.

There is no opportunity to change one’s mind, nor is there room to defend opinions you genuinely believe. And this is a huge problem for any civil society.

Haidt spoke of the importance of protecting open dialogue so that we may live in a society filled with varying opinions from which to choose.

“One of the most important [aspects] is that people are not afraid to share their opinions – they’re not afraid that they’re going to be shamed socially for disagreeing with the dominant opinion,” Haidt said.

The odds are high that your opinions about certain issues will change over time. However, some may not, and you shouldn’t live in fear that your beliefs will be met with social condemnation and isolation.

We are no longer given the room to share our opinions today because we are no longer able to disagree with each other respectfully.

You’re not always going to agree with everything other people say — not your professors, your classmates, or your parents. In fact, you might even find that your own views change as you learn new things and grow as a person and adult.

But having the freedom to consider all opinions and decide what you genuinely believe is vital to the human experience and civil discourse.

There is a market of choice in all things, from what clothes you wear, products you buy, and what ideas you subscribe to.

When you go shopping, you might not like the first outfit you try. You might not even like the second or third. But trying on different looks, or opinions, allows you to think for yourself and figure out what it is you want, or believe.

To be truly open-minded, you must be able to consider all opinions, instead of condemning any thought contrary to your own. The free exchange of ideas pushes individuals to share unique ideas and allows for opinions to evolve.

Dissent is what makes democracy strong. Our Constitution has outlasted so many others because the Founders disagreed and debated with each other until they crafted a document that fostered “a more perfect union” than had ever been seen before. We would be wise not to forget the example they set.

Put simply, shaming others doesn’t work. It’s purely punitive, and self-aggrandizing. It also rarely changes a person’s mind and often further radicalizes their beliefs, widening the divide already growing in our country.

To foster a world where ideas can be freely expressed, Pacific Legal Foundation will be hosting an event this Friday featuring Haidt that will examine the many ways free speech serves as a central tenet of innovation, community, and civil society, and how we can preserve and protect this fundamental value that makes our society so extraordinary.

Without the ability to speak freely and consider all opinions, civil discourse cannot occur. In its absence, society as we know it will cease to exist and the divides between us will continue to grow.

Abortion—The Issue That Will Not Die

Another anniversary of Roe v. Wade is upon us. And in recent days, the pro-life movement has suffered some serious political setbacks.

Outgoing President Donald Trump was surprisingly pro-life. In contrast, incoming President Joe Biden, although he is a Catholic, has become so pro-abortion that he believes in abortion for any reason up to the very moment of birth—and that you and I should pay for it.

Vice President Kamala Harris is just a heartbeat away from the presidency. She is so pro-abortion that when she was California’s Attorney General, she threw the book (and then some) at video-whistleblowers David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt who shot some undercover videos documenting the grisly practice of Planned Parenthood trafficking in baby body parts.

A major reason controversy over abortion will not die is because it was imposed on the American people by judicial fiat. January 22, 1973 brought us one of the worst decisions of the Supreme Court, Roe v. Wade (allowing abortions in the first trimester, and its companion decision of that same day, Doe v. Bolton—allowing abortions in second and third trimesters, if doctors approve).

Since that dark day, more than 60 million babies have been killed in their mother’s womb. Where’s the most dangerous place to be in America today? In your mother’s womb. It should be the safest.

The Court has unleashed this nightmare, provoking the wrath of Almighty God against the nation that sheds innocent blood—and so much of it too. “We the people” did not get to decide this. The Court did.

Perhaps the biggest reason abortion will never die as an issue is because the truth and science are against the “pro-choice” position. It is a baby being killed. And everyone knows it.

Ultrasound images reveal the humanity of the unborn more and more. Generally, the abortion industry tries to keep pregnant women, would-be-clients, from seeing these moving images. Why? Because when the women realize the humanity of the unborn, they tend to not go through with the procedure.

Some of the strongest voices against abortion come from those who used to engage in abortion in some way or another. One of those is Carol Everett, a former part owner of abortion facilities in the Dallas area. She was on her way to becoming a millionaire by selling abortions, until Jesus changed her heart and opened her eyes.

Carol compiled the following statements from others who used to work in that field:

  • Former abortionist, Anthony Levatino, M.D.: “I want the general public to know that the doctors know that this is a person, this is a baby. That this is not some kind of blob of tissue.”
  • Former abortion counselor, Nita Whitten: “It’s a lie when they tell you they’re doing it to help women, because they’re not. They’re doing it for the money.”
  • Former abortion counselor, Debra Henry: “We were told to find the woman’s weakness and work on it. The women were never given any alternatives. They were told how much trouble it was to have a baby.”
  • Former abortionist, Joseph Randall, M.D.: “The picture of the baby on the ultrasound bothered me more than anything else. The staff couldn’t take it. Women who were having abortions were never allowed to see the ultrasound.”
  • Former abortionist, David Brewer, M.D.: “My heart got callous against the fact that I was a murderer, but that baby lying in a cold bowl educated me to what abortion really was.”

In the last year, during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen the contrast between tyranny and liberty from our various governors, mayors, and politicians.

There is a direct link between those magistrates who are pro-abortion and who are tyrannical in their governance. Take the governors of California, New York, and Michigan. In the case of those first two states, people are voting with their feet. They are moving out. U-Haul trucks are in great demand right now in New York City and hard to get. Of course, in New York City, they have the double whammy of a pro-abortion governor and mayor.

Meanwhile, Florida and Texas and Tennessee (with pro-life governors) are enjoying a great level of freedom compared to these other states, and people are fleeing from other states to live there.

Where a politician stands on the issue of abortion represents where they stand on virtually everything else—freedom, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and so on.

Our founders said in our nation’s birth certificate, the Declaration of Independence (upon which the Constitution is predicated), that the Creator has endowed us with certain inalienable rights. The first one listed is the right to life.

If you take away the right to life, as they do in abortion, you effectively remove all the other rights. May God help America to repent from abortion and put this bloody mess behind us.

A Country In Distress — Rules on Flying Your American Flag(s) Upside Down

We are now a country in Distress – some are flying their American Flag(s) upside down – this is not an affront our insult to our national colors but a  symbol of protest of the new Communist Beijing Biden/Commie Harris regime that came to power fraudulently and corruptly via a stolen election and is an illegal Administration hell bent to destroy our Constitutional Republic and turn the USA into a Socialist/Communist nation.

Picture of an upside down flag in Florida is here.

I will continue to fly my Trump Flag as well.

Notice it does not have Pence on it who has turned out to be just another RINO!

According to CollinsFlags.com:

What does an Upside Down American Flag Mean?

Have you ever seen an upside down American flag? We certainly hope not, but it is possible that you have. If you have spotted this at some point in your life, did you understand the symbolism?  In general, members of the United States Military would be most likely to recognize this signal. Nonetheless, allow us to explain with a little help from the United States Flag Code.

8. Respect for Flag

  • The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.

Quick interpretation: “Dire distress and extreme danger to life or property” should not be taken lightly here. These instances do not include moments of personal dissatisfaction or times of protest. While it is legal to express yourself in whatever way you so chose, it is illegal to fly an American flag upside down unless you are in a life or death situation. People have faced legal charges for flying an American flag upside down. Stores have also been forced to remove upside down American flags on clothing.

Democrat States Follow The Science By Doing What Florida Did Back In May

U.S.—Democrat-run states are now calling on the nation to follow the science by doing what Florida did back in May, opening their economies with reasonable precautions and protections for the vulnerable.

The states are all now suggesting we begin reopening and that our economies cannot stay closed forever. They are calling this process “following the science,” though apparently they mean “follow what Republican states like Texas, Florida, and South Dakota did months ago.”

“We must follow the science by doing what Republican states did eight months ago,” said Governor Cuomo. “Now that Biden will be our president, it is time for the pandemic to end.”

D.C. Mayor Bowser agreed, saying, “The SCIENCE says we must reopen. We cannot kill every small business and restaurant in the city. Think about how a tanking economy would hurt President Biden.”

She also said, “We must catch that rascally plumber Mario!”

Governor Newsom isn’t quite on board yet, saying he will wait to follow the science and reopen until Kamala Harris is president.

The UK, Beyond 2020 and BREXIT — Does a Light Still Shine?

These are my views as a woman living in England, on how the culture and spirit of my country has changed over 50 years.  Why the country does not feel protected or strong any more, how it has lost, and is losing it values and decency, and how we are daily losing our free speech.


The Psychological Attack which is being carried out upon the citizens of the UK, is dark, cruel and manipulative.   After weeks of a complete lockdown in society, with a one-day reprieve for good behavior on Christmas Day, and with no hope of a release until Spring; a deep sense of despair is affecting many.   A huge division, a chasm, and an abyss is being created through extreme fear and isolation.   Is there any hope or light at the end of the tunnel now we have arrived into 2021?

After proudly boasting of our departure from the EU and securing a ‘jumbo Canadian-style’ Brexit deal which will secure the control of our destiny, the Prime Minister, Alexander Boris de Pfellel Johnson, appeared to be standing quite alone in his joy.  After, four years of will we, wont we, and the year of confusion from 2020; departing from the EU now seemed hardly noticeable or relevant under the current climate of the government’s total dictatorship.

As he claimed we would have a newfound ability to set our own standards, and that British laws would be made solely by the British parliament, interpreted by British Judges, sitting in UK courts, one wondered if the British public would really have any say in anything, anymore?      It was difficult to see any optimism in his promises.  Trust has all but gone.

And whilst, a very nice lady from Buckinghamshire received an MBE for services to Straw Hat Plaiting and Endangered craft skills, it was painfully obvious that Nigel Farage, the MP who fought so valiantly to leave the EU for 20 years leading the campaign for Brexit, with a vote from 17.5 million people was sadly missing from the New Year Honor’s list.  There was barely any acknowledgement for the man who had inspired such genuine hope and optimism from his platform in the year 2016.  The year of significant change for the UK and America alike when I realized people really do love their independence.

Despite the absence of a medal, Nigel Farage has been very busy exposing the number of illegal immigrants crossing the channel to England, over the last 12 months, claiming that the British government are housing 48,000 illegal immigrants in hotels and private homes with £40 a week spending money.  Nice.

He has also been very busy launching his new political party Reform UK with Richard Tice, another prominent Brexiteer who appears to have an insight into how the British public are being treated.

Whilst HM Government have been implementing even more frightening tactics by interrupting TV programming with scenes of people on oxygen, silencing free speech and encouraging us through billboards and posters to ‘Act as though we have the Virus’; people who can barely breathe through forced imprisonment and a bombardment of negativity, are desperately in need of some optimism outside of the applied behavioral psychology which I believe is being used against them.   Like small tiny sparrows they wait for the odd crumb of Hope.

Telling people to act as if they are potential murderers is irresponsible, and leads people further into the trap and deadly disease of isolation and hopelessness.  We were once free and responsible people, happy to play our part in protecting others.   Now we are snitches on our neighbor’s, and enemies to our friends and family.

The recent apology from the Prime Minister that he has been unable to prevent so many people from dying from the virus has added to the emotional confusion.   The insistent petitions from his own government and the general public on the devastation being created outside of the virus via the increased mental health problems and poverty as a result of lockdowns, has fallen on deaf ears.   Small gestures by way of compensation can hardly make up for the harm.   Thankfully, some people have seen through the poisoned apple they have been offered, and resisted.

Below is a government document called Mindspace indicating how psychology can be applied to change how the public think and act without us knowing about it.  Have our government used it against us?      I do believe that the public are at last and at least becoming more aware that ‘something is not quite right’ and asking questions.

It is not unusual to hear that people are now distancing themselves from the continual messaging in an effort for self -preservation and sanity.      Across the globe more and more people are ‘awakening’.

The exposure of such blatant evil as witnessed through the presidential elections in the USA, has also added to the certainty that we are in an ultimate spiritual battle, where lies, deception and division are being purposefully orchestrated.   It can be no coincidence that every country, with the exception of Sweden, appears to following an identical script.

Whilst there is a virus that can be particularly nasty if caught, Global Elites and Marxism is the virus we are really at war with.   Whilst they create and orchestrate divisions through race, color and creed, they are the only ones who are really united in their goal of one world domination.   Will they win?

If anything beneficial has come out of the loss of our freedoms, which it has; it is the realization of the things that we do value most in life. It has also been a time of appreciation for the simple things in life.    However, the freedoms we have lost, which are based on Christian principles were meant to be protected under the European Convention of Human Rights, In particular

  • Article 8 (the right to respect for private and family life).
  • Article 9 (freedom of thought, conscience and religion).
  • Article 10 (freedom of expression).
  • Article 11 (freedom of assembly and association).

It is only under an act of war or an emergency that those rights can be limited by a government.   Governments have totally removed those human rights based on findings and research which have become very questionable to many scientists, doctors, judges, sceptics worldwide.

Lord Sumpton who is highly regarded in the legal profession is one such champion in the UK speaking up for the rights of the private individual.

He has quoted:

“Historically, fear has always been the most potent of instruments of the authoritarian state. That is what we are witnessing today. But the fault is not just in our government, it’s also in ourselves.

It has been very heartening to hear such people speak up about the loss of our freedoms, and to give such an insight into the fear we hold inside us, and it is also why it has been so heartening and encouraging to see so many Americans really standing up for the value of freedom too.  It bought optimism.  And, whilst we all know that all of the nations around the world have fallen victim to so many perversions of every kind, America included, it was still the fight for those values which has encouraged everyone around the world.    I have often wondered what the leaders of other countries really thought when they saw the love and admiration that was expressed towards President Trump that the mainstream media would never really publicize to the public.      I can barely think of anyone who would view the British Prime Minister with any such affection.

The love, and also the hatred, which we have seen expressed has given many of us a much deeper insight now into why Christianity, not religion, is at the center of this attack.   We have been saying it for years, but we are now living in very exceptional and pivotal times.   Despite the darkness, there is also more light coming into this world to expose it?

A return to God and a return to love needs to be maintained.  We need to hold on to the unchanging, immoveable stability that he offers and bring it to the forefront in 2021.  The displacement of all moral values and the arrogance of liars will then not prevail.

We know it all ends well.   But in the meantime, I believe a search and rescue mission is underway, a wheat and chaff process is taking place, and there is much to be optimistic about if you stand on the right side of Truth.

A light still shines which can never go out.

Hear me, my God, as I voice my complaint; protect my life from the threat of the enemy.

Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the plots of evildoers.

They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.

They shoot from ambush at the innocent; they shoot suddenly, without fear.

They encourage each other in evil plans, they talk about hiding their snares; they say, “Who will see it ?”

They plot injustice and say, “We have devised a perfect plan!” Surely the human mind and heart are cunning.

But God will shoot them with his arrows; they will suddenly be struck down.

He will turn their own tongues against them and bring them to ruin; all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.

All people will fear; they will proclaim the works of God and ponder what he has done.

The righteous will rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in him; all the upright in heart will glory in him!

VIDEO: This Army Ranger Isn’t Done Fighting for America

There are a lot of good conservatives in Congress — even more after November — but it takes a special kind of leader to show courage on the tough issues. Congressman Warren Davidson (R-Ohio) is one of those rare Republicans who doesn’t mind speaking out when something is fundamentally wrong — no matter what the Left calls him. When Joe Biden decided to radically compromise the military and wave in people who identify as transgender, the former Army ranger didn’t hesitate. He stood up and called it wrong. He didn’t care who else stood with him — because doing what’s right has always been more important to him than doing what’s popular.

A lot of conservatives wonder why their leaders don’t step out and tackle the hard issues. Maybe it’s because they don’t hear any appreciation from their constituents when they do. As I said yesterday, there are a lot of spineless and cowardly people out there. When you actually find one who’s going to stand up for your convictions — like Warren Davidson has — stand with them.

To hear him go to bat for your values and our brave men and women in uniform, check out our conversation Tuesday. Then, when you get a chance, drop him a note of thanks for being the kind of leader with the backbone to do something about the values you care about.

Texas Brings First Successful Lawsuit Against Biden Executive Orders

“I promise my fellow Texans and Americans that I will fight against the many unconstitutional and illegal actions that the new administration will take, challenge federal overreach that infringes on Texans’ rights, and serve as a major check against the administration’s lawlessness.”Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton


What is good for the goose is good for the gander, right!

Do you remember how the Socialist Democrats at places like the ACLU and the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society et al stopped most of Trump’s efforts to reform immigration and the Refugee Resettlement process (to keep us safe!) and Trump was sued in virtually every effort.

Let’s hope this is the beginning of a trend!

From the Austin-American Statesman:

Federal Texas judge halts Biden’s 100-day deportation ban after Paxton challenge

A federal judge on Tuesday temporarily barred the U.S. government from enforcing a 100-day deportation moratorium, an immigration priority of President Joe Biden.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Friday had asked U.S. District Judge Drew Tipton, a nominee of former President Donald Trump who took the bench in Corpus Christi last June, to block the Biden administration’s new policy that pauses most deportations for the next 100 days.

“Texas is the FIRST state in the nation to bring a lawsuit against the Biden Admin,” Paxton, a conservative Republican, wrote on Twitter. “AND WE WON. Within 6 days of Biden’s inauguration, Texas has HALTED his illegal deportation freeze. *This* was a seditious left-wing insurrection. And my team and I stopped it.”

[….]

….Tipton said the Biden administration and key federal agencies that deal with immigration “do not have discretion to completely disregard” federal code that says “when an alien is ordered removed, the Attorney General shall remove the alien from the United States within a period of 90 days.”

[….]

The case appears poised to make its way to the federal appeals courts quickly.

Wow! 1,008 Deportation Flights in 2020!

Just so you know, the open borders agitators were pretty ticked-off at the Trump Administration as it got so many illegals/criminals deported in its final days, including on these flights to Africa.

Going home were “Somali, Ethiopian and Kenyan deportees.”

To the Socialist Dems, they are all “asylum seekers” rather than criminals….

From The Guardian:

Ice flies African asylum seekers to Nairobi in last-minute deportation push

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has stepped up removals of Africans and could send a final flight on Tuesday.

The Trump administration is continuing to deport African asylum seekers in its last few days before the inauguration of Joe Biden, who has promised a 100-day suspension of deportations, amid allegations of abuse of detainees, insufficient legal protections and inadequate precautions against Covid infection.

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) confirmed a “removal flight” left Louisiana on Thursday bound for Nairobi. The charter plane believed to be carrying Somali, Ethiopian and Kenyan deportees made a refuelling stop in Sofia. Immigrant support activists believe the deportees were transferred to commercial planes in Nairobi for transfer to other countries.

SURVEY: Democracy On The Brink — Political Rivals Considered A Serious Threat To The Country And Its People

Most Republicans don’t believe elections are ‘free and fair’ anymore; consider Biden an illegitimate president.


DENVER, CO/PRNewswire/ — Political partisanship has reached a new and alarming moment. Neighbor is now pitted against neighbor as never before as most voters consider members of the opposite party a serious threat to the United States and its people.

According to a new survey by ROI Rocket, a leading provider of market research-based consulting, about three in five Republicans (60%) believe Democrats represent a serious threat to the country while about one in two Democrats (52%) feel the same about Republicans. Registered independents fall somewhere between these extremes. About one in five believe Democrats are a serious threat and about one in four believe Republicans constitute one.

This divide goes beyond party affiliation to the legitimacy of America’s election system. Only about 14% of Republicans ‘fully trust’ elections in this country are ‘free and fair’ compared to 55% of Democrats and 29% of independents. Moreover, despite the lack of any substantive evidence, about two in three Republicans (67%) persist in believing President Joseph R. Biden won office due to fraudulent voting practices. These and other, related attitudes raise troubling questions about Americans’ commitment to traditional democratic institutions.

Case in point: differing partisan perceptions of the Capitol Building riot that occurred on January 6th. Members of the two major parties tend to characterize this event in wildly different terms. Over half of Republicans (52%) describe it as a demonstration or protest while more than two in three Democrats (71%) call it an insurrection or attempted coup.

Heated partisan differences are apparent when it comes to apportioning blame for the riot as well. Nearly nine in ten Democrats (87%) blame former President Donald J. Trump, in whole or in part; significantly, only about one in four Republicans (25%) considers him blameworthy. Republicans are more likely to point the finger at Antifa or other left-wing organizations than Trump. About 54% of Republicans blame Antifa even though the FBI issued a statement asserting no evidence exists this or other, similar organizations were involved in the incident.

The survey found one growing point of consensus across party lines: the need for significant institutional reforms. About 43% of Democrats, 47% of Republicans and 42% of independents agree strongly with the statement that the American system of government is broken and needs to be changed. While the nature of any changes is likely to spark as much partisan debate as recent, precipitating events, it seems one an increasingly large number of Americans are interested in having.

ABOUT THIS RESEARCH

This study of 1,224 U.S. residents aged 18 and older was fielded between January 13 and January 21, 2021. The results have an associated margin of error of +/- 2.8% at the 95% confidence level in the most conservative case. This means the results come within plus or minus 2.8% of the results that would have been obtained given a census of all qualified individuals. Sample collection was balanced to U.S. Census figures for gender, age, race/ethnicity and household income.
