It is just unimaginable why our legislators in Raleigh, the NC news media and NC law enforcement aren’t all acting as one to stop this most heinous crime against children. Children as young as 3 and 4 years old!

It isn’t because they are unaware of the problem, because we send out over 7,000 emails monthly, with 350+ of them going to media outlets all over NC, every NC House of Representatives member and every NC Senator, each receive a copy of these monthly emails and law enforcement sees these crimes every day.

Unless more citizens demand something be done (like enacting illegal immigration laws at the state level) this will never end.

One day, I just hope, no more NC children have to endure a life-long horrific memory of a brutal sexual attack by someone who shouldn’t be here in the first place.

With that being said, this month, NCFIRE was able to document 27 illegal aliens who committed 169 separate acts of child rape/child sexual assault.

PODCAST: Help Wanted, IRS, Candidate Must Be Willing to Use Deadly Force

September 3, 2022/in Commentary, Courts & Law, Culture War, Elections, Hot Topics, News, Social Issues, Taxes, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Karen Schoen

UPDATE: ‘In A Tyrannical State, You Have To Rule By Fear’ – Why Are IRS Agents Armed?

“The common enemy of humanity is man. In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy then, is humanity itself.” – Club of Rome, a premier environmental think-tank, consultants to the United Nations.

These globalists believe the common man is the enemy. So it makes perfect sense that the IRS is armed when they come for your taxes, or DOES IT? Will you comply?

All policies in the Green Broke Deal can be found in UN Agenda 21. This document is over 300 pages, 40 chapters of total control over the means of production and distribution of all means of human activity.

After the raid on Mar-a-Largo, do not for one minute think you will not be next. This is the way intimidation works. This is what globalists use to keep you in line. Prepare. Read about communists, and dictators taking over. They are at their end game, where they reveal themselves because they think they won. But they got sloppy and now will lose.

We are being set up, so be on your guard. Pay attention locally and to your state politics. Sadly Globalists have taken the worst plans their evil leaders offered, plans that ultimately hurt people without remorse, were definitely over budget, and full of graft and corruption.

We will be hit with many things that don’t make sense. Don’t pay attention. Choose your battles wisely.

Sometimes we must look at things through different lenses. Join us al listen to some stories of people who were forced to live under a communist regime.

What Biden Didn’t Talk About in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

September 2, 2022/in Courts & Law, Culture War, Elections, Healthcare, Hot Topics, Must Read, News, Policy, Politics, Social Issues/by Dr. Rich Swier

After listening to Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.’s rants against American patriots we decided to provide a list of items he did not talk about.

It seemed that Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. used Philadelphia more as a campaign speech rather than an opportunity to calm Americans by presenting solutions to solving our cultural, social and economic problems.

Here’s our list of important issues Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. did not about:

A plan to tackle the rising inflation that is crippling our economy.
A plan to deal with critical food shortages such as baby formula.
A plan to combat the growing crime wave in major cities like Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
A plan to lower the cost of groceries for America’s families.
A plan to end censorship by the major social media platforms.
A plan to give every worker a living wage that is based upon his or her efforts and skills.
A plan to allow small, medium and large business to grow and thrive, thereby providing the needed goods and services to the American people.
A plan to make America energy independent and a net exporter of energy.
A plan to make our military forces second to none in the world.
A plan to stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons especially by rogue states, to make the world safer.
A plan to stop unlawful search and seizures of the private homes of American citizens.
A plan to stop terrorist attacks.
A plan to reduce the size of the federal government.
A plan to protect America from the growing aggressive behaviors of China, North Korea and Russia,
A plan to end the war in the Ukraine.
A plan to make Taiwan safe from harassment and a possible invasion by China.
A plan to keep North Korea from further missile tests and expansion of its nuclear stockpile.
A plan to secure America’s power grid from hackers.
A plan to stop assassination attempts against Americans, including those like Salman Rushdie.
A plan to fix our schools and stop the indoctrination our children and make public schools into centers for the proper education of our children.
A plan to stop the border crisis, which the vast majority of Americans have called an “invasion.”
A plan to force 50% of all cars and trucks all electric vehicles by 2035 and how will this cost and what is the price Americans will pay for it.
A plan to stop sending American taxpayers money to Ariana Afghan Airlines, formally owned by Osama bin Laden, to fly ever more Afghan refugees to America.
A plan to end the growing ‘Mystery Deaths‘, especially among millennials, that are now killing 3x more younger people than Covid?
A plan to end the killing of the unborn to meet the birth dearth in America.
A plan to make those who are Muslims, Jewish, Christians and Catholics feel safe to practice their religious beliefs publicly.
A plan to strengthen America’s families and reduce divorces.
A plan to manufacture, distribute and sell only “Made In America” products.
A plan to have those who take out student loans actually payback those loans instead of using the taxpayers to bail them out, especially those attending prestigious colleges and universities.
A plan to end discrimination of all types especially in the workplace.
A plan to honor and promote traditional marriage as between one man and one woman.
A plan to stop the spread of the gay STD known as Monkeypox.
A plan to address the growing numbers of those vaccinated who suddenly die, experience serious side effects including miscarriages.
A plan to end all discrimination against hiring white teachers by public schools.
A plan to educate every child that there are only two genders: Male (XX) and Female (XY).
A plan to make our elections safe and secure from foreign influence and fraud.
A plan to make and keep America’s supply chain more efficient, better and stable.
A plan to provide more jobs for more legal American citizens.
A plan to stop the importation of drugs including heroin, cocaine, fentanyl, marijuana across our borders.
A plan to stop the human trafficking of humans by drug cartels.
A plan to stop the harvesting of organs from under aged children by drug cartels.
A plan to stop perverts, pederasts and pedophiles from raping our children.
A plan to make cheap and reliable power available to all Americans including the use of coal, natural gas, hydroelectric, oil, nuclear, solar and wind power.
A plan to truly unite America rather than divide it further.

We had expected the Biden would talk about his Build Back Better agenda and how it is working for America. He did not talk about the progress of building anything back, yet alone making thing better, at all.

Essentially Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. turned his back on what Americans are most concerned about, the economy and the future of their families, children and grandchildren.

Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. turned his back on America!

They Threw The Book at Big Tobacco and it Worked. Let’s Try it with Big Tech to Stop Harmful Social Media Use

September 2, 2022/in Courts & Law, Culture War, Elections, Hot Topics, Must Read, News, Policy, Politics, Social Issues, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by MercatorNet - Navigating Modern Complexities

U.S. experts have published six bold policy ideas.

Is social media harmful to kids? Some people are still sceptical about this: a few experts, the American Civil Liberties Union, and Big Tech itself, of course. Put a smart little device in the hands of teenagers, hook them up to platforms they find irresistible, and what could go wrong?

A lot. Boys become addicted to online games and YouTube, girls to chat and photo-sharing platforms. They spend less time with their friends in person. Girls in particular spend more time in their bedrooms scrolling through their Facebook, Snapchat and Instagram accounts, looking for likes, comparing themselves to other kids, celebrities and influencers, and getting sadder all the time. Occasionally one commits suicide.

It’s four years since Jean Twenge, a professor of psychology at the University of San Diego, showed how the arrival of the smartphone (the first iPhone was launched in 2007) coincided with a sharp rise in depression, self-harm, suicide attempts and actual suicide among the generation of Americans born after 1995.

The US public health agency, the CDC, found that by 2019 an alarming 37 percent of US high school students reported “persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness” – a 40 percent increase between 2009 and 2019. This trend has been accentuated by Covid-19, but it was there before the pandemic.

There has been a lot of pushback against Twenge’s work, not least from the big guns of social media themselves. However, a year ago a former employee of Facebook/Meta turned whistleblower revealed that the company’s own research in 2020 showed that its Instagram platform causes anxiety about body image among girls.

Unbelievably, Facebook sat on this information and went on planning a new “service” for preteens called Instagram Kids. “They are coming for your kids” seems true in this instance; Big Tech is out to hook youngsters, and Meta, for one, doesn’t want parents to get in the way. It insists on teens granting permission for parental controls to be enabled – and teens can revoke them at any time.

What does Meta care if young girls are miserable about how they look, or are stealing time from their sleep and increasing their risk of depression? Does ByteDance take seriously the possible link between the insanity of its TikTok platform and the outbreak of strange, nervous tics among girls?

This is what parents are up against and the resources they have are woefully inadequate. Some manage to keep their own kids smartphone free but the social pressures for adolescents are very strong when most of their peers are networking by phone and following the latest fads.

Strangely, legislators who are keen to protect teens by banning everything from smoking to “conversion therapy” are hanging back when it comes to a far more prevalent threat. It’s high time they acted.

Six policy ideas for protecting teens

And they can, says a group of US experts (see endnote) in a legislative brief published last week and containing six policy ideas for states – including one very bold proposal.

In America, the authors point out, US Supreme Court decisions have limited the power of Congress to pass effective legislation to protect children even from sexually explicit content, and its historical focus on indecent material misses “the unique disruption to children’s psychological development that social media’s pervasive presence appears to cause.”

(Australia has recently tweaked its laws to clamp down on “cyber-abuse” of adults, and New Zealand has approved a voluntary code by which Meta, Google, TikTok, Amazon and Twitter will take down abusive content, “misinformation and disinformation” – again, focused on adults.)

What’s needed, the authors of the brief say, is for states to take over, using their legislative power to protect children from platforms that promote anxiety, envy, pornography, loneliness, sleeplessness, and suicide. Here is a brief summary of their proposals based on their article in The Deseret News:

1. Enact age-verification laws so that no minors under the age of 13 can create social media accounts. Although that is already the de facto legal age for social media, children younger than 13 are gaining access, and these younger children are more vulnerable to the harmful mental health effects.

2. Require parental consent for minors to open a social media account. When individuals join social media websites or use most commercial websites, they agree to terms of service, which are binding contracts, so it is a reasonable regulation that parental consent would be required for anyone under 18.

3. Mandate full parental access to minors’ (ages 13 to 17) social media accounts. Full access would ensure that parents have control of their minor child’s account settings so they can restrict its privacy, review friend requests and know exactly what their child is doing online.

While parents can currently utilize various for-purchase parental control apps, certain platforms, like TikTok, are not able to be covered, or parents are unable to fully monitor all aspects of the account. Government intervention is needed to provide full access, and to empower all parents, not just those able to afford a private option.

4. Enact a complete shutdown of social media platforms at night for minors. This would align with usual night-time sleep hours, for example, 10:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m., and eliminate teens’ temptation to stay up late on social media. This is an important step to take because technologically induced lack of sleep is a primary driver of depression among teens.

5. Create causes of action for parents to seek legal remedies with presumed damages. Any law that a state passes to protect kids online should include a private cause of action to enable parents to bring lawsuits on behalf of their children for any violation of the law. These companies aim to maximize profit, so there must be a sizable enough threat in order for them to correct their behaviour.

6. Enact a complete ban on social media for those under age 18. This is the boldest proposal of them all, but not unprecedented. Many states already place age restrictions on numerous behaviours known to be dangerous or inappropriate for children, such as driving, smoking, drinking, getting a tattoo and enlisting in the military. Similarly, a state could recognize social media as a prohibited activity for minors.

Of course, such a ban on social media for kids would be controversial. Big Tech would fight it tooth and nail. Kids would hate it. The liberal establishment would throw up their hands in horror. But parents might welcome a step that would lighten the burden of fighting the new media barons virtually single-handed.

As the authors of the brief point out, the problem of social media is no longer a private one:

“Social media use by even a few children in a school or organization creates a “network effect,” so even those who do not use social media are affected by how it changes the entire social environment. A collective solution is needed. An across-the-board age ban would place the burden where it belongs: back on the social media companies that designed their platforms to be addictive, especially to the most vulnerable: children.”

“One day,” they add, “we will look back at social media companies like ByteDance (Tiktok) and Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and compare them to tobacco companies like Philip Morris (Marlboro) and R.J. Reynolds (Camel).”

Big Tobacco enjoyed immense profits and popularity while obscuring the science about their harm, and even pitching deceptive advertising to children. But eventually it became known and they were held accountable.

Now it is the turn of Big Tech to face an accounting for its “baleful influence on our children,” the report concludes. Before it’s too late.

The Increasing Destruction By Human Government

September 1, 2022/in Commentary, Courts & Law, Culture War, Elections, Hot Topics, News, Policy, Politics, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Bud Hancock

I just read an interesting article titled Why Are So Many Bad Things Happening To America In 2022? by Michael Snyder, posted on Prophecy News Watch and found his conclusion, that we are witnessing many destructive events tied to Bible prophecy unfolding around the world, to be spot on. The article begs a question: Are these events the result of God’s judgement on wicked nations and people, or are they the result of evil and stupid decisions made by those nations and the people in control of their various governments?

Stupidity versus Evil

Stupidity

Right upfront I want to make a distinction between stupidity and evil, even though the difference between the two sometimes seems negligible. By its definition, stupidity generally indicates ‘a lack of intelligence’, and admittedly, most of the people I have known who did stupid things truly exhibited a lower than average level of intelligence, at least for short periods of time. I thought at the time that their stupidity was an attempt to be cute, or funny, even though the result of their actions sometimes had the opposite effect, causing discomfort in those around them.

Having lived on this earth almost eighty years, I have witnessed many acts of human stupidity, most having seemed insignificant early on, but with increasing significance as time passed. Many of the acts I witnessed took place locally and seemed to have a negligible effect on people in the areas where they occurred, so they were likely given little attention.

Now, the visible level of stupidity has ramped up to a point where nearly every person on earth has been, and is constantly being, affected greatly by stupidity that can be witnessed in every nation.

I have joked at times about the world “being possessed by a spirit of stupid”, but when persons act stupidly, in my opinion, it makes them more easily susceptible to potentially deadly deception from evil sources, indicating that the situation is not one to be taken lightly.

Evil

Evil, on the other hand, is defined as being ‘morally reprehensible, sinful and wicked’, putting those who commit evil acts in the same category as those who directly oppose God and everything He is. Evil usually arises out of, or sometimes causes, bad behavior in those who commit evil acts. Dictionary.com calls evil, “the force in nature that governs and gives rise to wickedness and sin”. In the Bible, that force is clearly attributed to Satan.

In that same time period of nearly eighty years, I have also witnessed some truly evil acts, acts that were deliberately intended to cause harm or loss to people. Based on the raising I had from Godly parents, I learned the differences between evil and mere stupidity. The reaction to witnessing evil was one of a cringing conscience, realizing just how abhorrent real evil is, while witnessing stupidity only made one feel sorry for the stupid ones. Admittedly, I struggled much more with the evil acts than I did the stupid ones.

Even though some stupid acts can produce results that cause harm and loss, they usually lack the intent that make them evil in nature.

Stupidity and Evil in Government

Even though there are different definitions of ‘evil’ and ‘stupidity’ in the various dictionaries, there is one place where both appear regularly and cause extreme harm and loss, and that place is politics and governments. Though I have visited several other countries, I have only lived in the United States, so any knowledge I have of governments other than the US has come from other people or various news sources.

I have followed politics in general, and presidential politics in particular, for many years. As a child of 9 or 10 years of age, I was fascinated by ‘people in power’, their actions and ideologies, wondering why they acted as they did in many situations. Had I been more mature, I might have understood whether their acts and the motives for them were evil in nature, or only ‘stupid’. At that time, I had no in-depth knowledge of ‘evil’, what it was or how it worked, and I had not lived long enough to even define ‘stupid’.

Now, after so many years, the difference between evil and stupid are much easier to distinguish, and though that makes them easier to understand, it does not make either of them easier to accept.

I find it impossible to contemplate that our nation’s founders would readily accept either as desirable elements in our government.

Stupidity in Politicians

We are now seeing exactly what would have made the Founders cringe in disbelief, shock and concern. The US government, every part of it, from the Executive to the Legislative to the Judicial branches, and especially the out-of-control bureaucracies, appears to be completely possessed by the aforementioned ‘spirit of stupid’ and have become deceived by the force of evil. I say ‘appears’ and offer several possible explanations for this: 1) Their deception has rendered them oblivious to the harm they are doing, not only to the credibility of their offices but to nearly every American citizen who previously looked to them all for leadership and accountability, or 2) They are not stupid but are evil, and possibly evilly stupid all at the same time. If they ARE aware of the harm they cause, then they are likely way beyond stupid and are truly evil.

With the world having ‘shrunken’ due to instant communications, both audibly and visually and the ability to witness events anywhere in the world while they are occurring, I would have to surmise that the other governments of the world are making the same evil and/or stupid mistakes we see here in the US.

Anyone who is aware of the unbelievably stupid decisions they make must wonder what has happened to our once-great nation.

What Happened to TRUE Government?

Anyone who has read any of my articles know what value I place on the true meaning of words.

The word ‘govern’ is a verb which, according to Dictionary.com, means: 1a: “to exercise continuous sovereign authority over (as exercised by a king); especially to control and direct the making and administration of policy” , and 2b: “to rule without sovereign power usually without having the authority to determine basic policy” and 2a: archaic manipulate. The best definition of ‘manipulate’ in this instance is from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary and read thus: “to control or ‘play upon’ by artful, unfair, or insidious means especially to one’s own advantage”. The definition of the word ‘artful’, also per Merriam-Webster, is “adroit in attaining an end usually by insinuating or indirect means”, : wily. The Merriam-Webster definition of ‘insidious’ is , “awaiting a chance to entrap : treacherous.

The word ‘government’, derived from the word ‘govern’, is a noun meaning 1) “the political direction and control exercised over the actions of the members, citizens, or inhabitants of communities, societies, and states”; “direction of the affairs of a state, community, etc.; political administration”, and 2), “the form or system of rule by which a state, community, etc., is governed”.

‘True human government’ was instituted by Almighty God and provided to the human race when He placed Adam and Eve in their original positions as the ones to whom He gave ‘dominion’ of the world’ (Genesis 1:26 KJV). God’s decision to allow man to govern himself was meant to create a government that was righteous in nature, as was man before he sinned.

All well and good so far, but that dominion did not last long before it was given away to the liar and the father of all lies. That ‘giveaway’ launched the ‘system of politics’ which has been used to dominate and control the world ever since. Had mankind remained in the condition in which they were created, human government would likely still be working quite well.

All human government, based on various political systems, e.g. a Constitutional Republic (United States), a parliamentary democracy (United Kingdom), a theocracy (Iran), or an empire (Babylon, Greece, Rome, etc.) is, to a certain extent, under the direct or indirect control of Satan who received that control as a ‘gift of disobedience’ from Adam. Using his own political system, he has maintained a great degree of control over these governments for several thousand years, and in ALL of them, politics play a major role.

Politics: The Most Evil and Stupid System

We are told that Lucifer was the highest of God’s angelic creation, who was described as the ‘morning star’ and the ‘light bringer’, the archangel who had a high position in the heaven lies and was actually given a throne on the pre-Adamic earth. He rebelled against God, being jealous of God’s power and authority and convinced many of God’s angelic beings to follow him in a war to unseat God and institute the worship of Lucifer.

The war failed and Lucifer and his followers were banned from heaven. Even though we are not told in the Bible, many believe the fact that the earth was “without form and void” (Hebrew to’-hu va bo’-hu, meaning chaos) in the Genesis 1:2 KJV account of creation, was the condition of the planet caused by God’s wrath against Lucifer. In any case. Lucifer lost his majestic standing. He obviously decided he would retaliate against God through God’s greatest creation; Adam and Eve.

All believers who have read and understand the prophecies against evil in general, and Satan in particular, especially those in the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, know that Satan’s rebellion has a decided end, and that end is the casting of Satan and all other created beings who follow him and rebel against God into the eternal Lake of Fire.

Satan’s existence and his prophesied end should convince all who have ‘understanding’, of the utter foolishness of rebelling against, and going to war against, the Being Who created everything. To even consider such an undertaking indicates a serious act of stupidity, indicating that evil IS stupid and all who decide to accept evil as their modus operandi are BOTH evil AND stupid.

Conclusion

My conclusion is that in most cases, evil and stupid cannot be separated and that opinion seems to be borne out by the political decisions that have, for the most part, caused the events we are now witnessing. Satan’s plan to unseat God from His throne has brought an untold level of pain, grief, loss and death to untold millions of humans throughout history.

We know that there are specific events prophesied to unfold in what we know as the ‘End Times’, the ‘Last Days’, the ‘70^th week of Daniel’, and the ‘Time of Jacob’s Trouble’, more commonly called the Tribulation Period. But are there events that we can expect to see before the catching away of the Body of Christ which will precede the start of the tribulation? There are those who believe all the prophesied terrible events are reserved for the seven year Tribulation Period. But bear in mind that God has exercised His sovereign right to pronounce and execute judgment on nations and individuals many times throughout recorded history. The history of the Jewish people bears out this fact.

What we believe many times to be an act of stupidity might as easily be an act of abject evil, designed to accomplish Satan’s goal of ‘stealing, killing and destroying’ (John 10:10 KJV). We should all know by now that the ‘act of governing’, which should be the act of becoming, and being, responsible for the welfare of the citizens of any state, is now an act designed specifically to enrich those who are placed in the ‘governing bodies of all governments’, whether by election, or appointment; the enrichment of these individuals is attained through the corrupted political system that controls all governments, a system based on The Love of Money.

We are witnessing the time and events described by Paul in his letter to Timothy wherein he spoke of the result of such a corrupt system: “being pierced through with many sorrows” (1 Timothy 6:10 KJV). The best advice I can give to anyone who thinks being a politician in the current state of the world’s governments is a good thing is this: think long and hard and understand how that decision might affect you and the lives of your family.

I have come to the conclusion that no man will be able to make either America, or any other nation, great again in this evil age, and the very best we can hope for and expect is, through faith and steadfastness, to remain true to our Father and be with the Lord when He returns to this earth to eliminate politics and set up a true and righteous kingdom, the only one that will last eternally.

Blessings and Maranatha!

REPORT: Biden’s IRS Handed Prison Inmates Over $1 Billion In COVID Relief

September 1, 2022/in Courts & Law, Culture War, Elections, Featured, Hot Topics, News, Policy, Politics, Social Issues, Taxes, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by The Daily Caller

President Joe Biden’s Internal Revenue Service (IRS) gave a huge number of prison inmates at least $1.3 billion in COVID-19 stimulus checks, the Washington Free Beacon reported.

There are more than 1.1 million incarcerated individuals who took in the stimulus money, according to IRS data provided to the Free Beacon, as part of Biden’s $1.4 trillion American Rescue Plan. Those incarcerated who received the stimulus money includes roughly 163,000 people serving life sentences without parole, the IRS told Republican Nebraska Rep. Don Bacon in a letter obtained by the outlet.

“Democrats had every opportunity to stop taxpayer dollars from going to convicted criminals,” Mike Palicz, federal affairs manager for Americans for Tax Reform, a group seeking to lower federal spending, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Instead, Democrats blocked a Republican amendment that would’ve prevented inmates from receiving stimulus payments and sent up to $1,400 checks to more than one million incarcerated criminals.”

The American Rescue Plan was signed by Biden in March 2021 in order to provide relief to Americans amid the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic. Americans earning $75,000 or less per year were eligible for a $1,400 stimulus check under the plan and married couples filing jointly earning $150,000 or less were eligible for a $2,800 check.

Republicans overwhelmingly opposed the stimulus package, claiming its price tag was far too high. Republican senators backed an amendment put forth by Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy in March 2021, which Democrats rejected, that would have blocked prisoners from getting stimulus checks.

“Individuals were not denied Economic Impact Payments solely because they were incarcerated,” the IRS says on its website under a frequently asked questions page about The American Rescue Plan, explaining that inmates may have received funds if they filed a tax return in 2019 and 2020.

It is unclear how many inmates facing the death penalty received stimulus checks.

A spokesman for the IRS told the DCNF the agency “does not track the information related to incarcerated individual’s sentences” and IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig told the Free Beacon he does not have data on the matter.

Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton had raised concerns in 2021 about the fact that under the plan prisoners would receive money, slamming the idea that someone like Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the 2013 Boston Marathon bomber, would get $1,400. Tsarnaev ended up raking in $1,400 in connection to the plan, the Boston Herald reported in January 2022.

“The Democratic Party is drunk with power, and their reckless billions in spending continue to funnel out of the United States Treasury with little to no guidance,” Republican Florida Rep. Byron Donalds told the DCNF upon learning of the IRS payments to prisoners.

The Treasury Department did not respond to a request for comment nor did The White House.

Florida Senator Marco Rubio’s Letter to FBI Director Wray on the Mar-a-Lago Raid

September 1, 2022/in Courts & Law, Culture War, Elections, Hot Topics, National Security, News, Policy, Politics, Social Issues/by Royal A. Brown III

Senator Marco Rubio’s letter is below. We are glad that he responded to this outrage but wish he had mentioned Hillary Clinton by name as to why FBI didn’t raid her residence when she had confidential work related info on her private server at home.

Our great Governor Ron DeSantis did not hesitate to mention this.

The DOUBLE STANDARD within the DEPARTMENT OF IN-JUSTICE and the FBI is staggering.

LETTER TO FBI DIRECTOR CHRISTOPHER A. WRAY

Dear Director Wray:

Like many Americans, I was outraged to learn of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI’s) unprecedented raid on former President Trump’s residence in Palm Beach, Florida from the media. The FBI’s actions, less than three months from the upcoming elections, are doing more to erode public trust in our government institutions, the electoral process, and the rule of law in the U.S. than the Russian Federation or any other foreign adversary. These values represent the very core of what the United States stands for, and what the FBI is mandated to protect. Yet the FBI raid sows the same division – and exacerbates the same loss of confidence in the U.S. political process – that adversaries like Vladimir Putin go to great lengths to foment.

According to press reports, the August 8, 2022 raid may relate to an ongoing national security investigation regarding compliance with the protection of classified information. No one is above the law, but every American also deserves equal justice under it. The FBI appears to have taken steps related to President Trump that it has never taken with any other former President, and that it has generally failed to take with respect to certain criminal referrals made from elements of the Intelligence Community (IC) to the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) relating to instances where individuals allegedly disclosed classified information without authorization.

As such, I request the answers to the following questions, no later August 17, 2022, as it relates to criminal referrals made by any element of the IC to the DoJ regarding unauthorized disclosure of classified information during the past five years:

Of referrals made by other elements of the IC, what percentage of those referrals resulted in the FBI opening preliminary investigations? What percentage of those referrals resulted in full investigations?
In what percentage of the referrals did the FBI raid the private residence of the individual in question?
Of the referrals made, what percentage of those referrals resulted in a formal filing of criminal charges?

All Americans deserve the right to know why the FBI raided President Trump’s residence, but the law requires that you inform, at a minimum, the leadership of the congressional intelligence committees regarding such activities if the purpose of the raid was related to an investigation regarding the unauthorized disclosure of classified information with intelligence equities.

Therefore, I expect an explanation as to why I, and to the best of my knowledge every other leader of the congressional intelligence committees, first learned of this raid on President Trump’s residence via the media, despite the law requiring the committees to be fully and currently informed of all intelligence activities undertaken by the U.S. Government, including any significant anticipated intelligence activity.

In addition, I request a meeting to understand the FBI’s concerns regarding the handling of classified material in this instance, and to understand why the FBI did not keep the congressional intelligence committee leadership fully and currently informed as the FBI has done in previous sensitive cases.

Thank you for your prompt response to these important issues.

Sincerely,

Marco Rubio
U.S. Senate

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Calls for IRS Audits on Lawmakers Who Voted for the Inflation Reduction Act

September 1, 2022/in Courts & Law, Culture War, Economy, Elections, Hot Topics, Must Read, News, Policy, Politics, Social Issues, Taxes, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by The Geller Report

DeSantis! Our voice! He’s a giant.

Why shouldn’t these scoundrels suffer the pain they’ve inflicted upon us.

DeSantis calls for IRS audits on lawmakers who voted for Inflation Reduction Act

By Heather Hamilton, The Washington Examiner, August 31, 2022:

Gov. Ron DeSantis suggested every lawmaker who voted to pass the Inflation Reduction Act should face mandatory annual audits by the Internal Revenue Service.

Earlier this month, President Joe Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act that included $80 billion to overhaul the IRS, with more than 80,000 new positions largely intended for taxation enforcement.

“I think every member of Congress that voted for that bill should be required to be audited every year by the IRS,” DeSantis said while speaking in Fort Pierce, Florida, Tuesday as those in attendance responded with laughter.

The Republican governor objected to the legislation, saying that it would be used to target those who the “government doesn’t like.”

“Those IRS agents are going to be mobilized to go after people that the government doesn’t like,” DeSantis said. “They’re going to be going after people who are not going to be able to defend themselves against these audits.”

DeSantis also said the Democrats’ touting of taxation enforcement on billionaires is misleading, noting that the wealthy have accountants and lawyers to handle the audits.

The Republican governor previously equated the expansion of the IRS to the Biden administration giving people “the middle finger.”

Border Patrol Busts Hundreds of Adult Migrants Posing as Minors to Dodge Deportation

September 1, 2022/in Courts & Law, Culture War, Elections, Hot Topics, Immigration, National Security, News, Policy, Politics, Social Issues, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Judicial Watch

As if the crisis along the southern border were not bad enough, adult illegal immigrants are posing as minors to enter—and stay in—the U.S. since typically those under 18 are welcomed with open arms. The government refers to them as Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) and hundreds of thousands have entered the country in the last few years. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is charged with caring for illegal aliens under the age of 18 and the agency spends millions of dollars annually to house, medically treat, entertain, and school UAC who come mainly from Central America. Undoubtedly, illegal immigrant minors are almost always allowed to remain in the U.S. and quickly disbursed to a government-funded shelter upon arrival at the border.

The special treatment has led to even more criminal behavior by those already breaking the law entering the U.S. illegally. In El Paso alone, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) confirms that more than 655 adult migrants posing as minors have been busted in fiscal year 2022. This week the agency announced that the El Paso Sector has recently seen an unusual amount of activity involving adults posing as minors to dodge deportation. In one of the incidents agents identified 10 adults posting as UAC while in custody. CBP has a limited time to transfer UAC to HHS custody once the illegal border crossers are vetted and there begins the journey to stay in the U.S. Bigger criminal enterprises are behind the imposter plots, according to federal authorities. “Transnational Criminal Organizations exploit migrants convincing them to pose as minors in order to be processed as such” said El Paso Sector Border Patrol Chief Gloria I. Chavez. “Identity fraud is a common tactic used by TCOs to take advantage of migrants who do not know the legal consequences of their actions as they attempt to deceive authorities.”

The frontline Homeland Security agency says three adults posing as minors were also discovered recently using counterfeit documentation at the El Paso Sector Central Processing Center in Texas. The illegal immigrants, a 21-year-old female, 22-year-old female and 22-year-old male, are from Guatemala and were part of a group of 13 apprehended by federal agents in the area. “The three were encountered, along with nine unaccompanied children from Guatemala and one adult,” CBP writes in a statement. “These individuals pose as minors in order to avoid expulsion.” In a separate incident this month three males from Guatemala, ages 18, 25 and 26, intentionally posed as minors to remain in the U.S. Federal agents detected discrepancies between their stories and documentation presented in their failed attempt to pass as minors.

In yet another incident made public this month, CBP officers at El Paso’s Ysleta Station, which is responsible for 16.7 miles of international boundary along the Rio Grande River, discovered a group of what appeared to be eight minors later determined to be from Guatemala crossing the border illegally. Two of the illegal immigrants pretending to be underage turned out to be imposters, according to the feds. One was a 22-year-old male and the other a 19-year-old female. As in the other cases, agents, though overwhelmed with an onslaught of illegal immigration, detected discrepancies during interviews. CBP warns that individuals who attempt to pose as unaccompanied children may face charges under American laws that prohibit false statements to federal agents and conspiracy to defraud the U.S.

The last thing the country’s disastrous immigration system needs is more UAC. American taxpayers already spend a fortune to accommodate them through HHS’s Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), which funds and oversees dozens of state-licensed care facilities to house the young migrants when they arrive in the U.S. In fiscal year 2021 ORR housed an unprecedented 122,731 UAC, according to government figures, and this year’s budget is a whopping $8.76 billion. HHS projects that in 2022 it will accommodate approximately 149,000 and between 500 and 600 daily for the remainder of the fiscal year, which ends in September. Last year the overwhelming majority of illegal immigrant minors in U.S. custody, approximately 72%, were over 14 years of age and 66% were male. Nearly half (47%) of the underage migrants came from Guatemala, 32% from Honduras, 13% from El Salvador and 8% from other countries.

Make 1984 Fiction Again

August 31, 2022/in Commentary, Courts & Law, Culture War, Elections, Hot Topics, News, Policy, Politics, Social Issues, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Jerry Newcombe, D. Min.

Well, as of last week, it’s official. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has dissolved (at least for now) its “disinformation board.” Some critics have called this the “Ministry of Truth,” as in George Orwell’s classic novel about a dystopian, totalitarian future, 1984.

The agency was to be engaged in “countering disinformation that threatens the homeland, and providing the public with accurate information in response.”

Jarrett Stepman of the Heritage Foundation wrote in May: “It was bad enough that the Biden administration seemingly took George Orwell’s book ‘1984’ as a guide, rather than as a warning.”

Stepman noted that even some on the left were concerned about this board: “HBO’s ‘Real Time’ host Bill Maher said the Disinformation Governance Board had a ‘creepy name’ and noted that the opaque mission of the agency was ‘even creepier.’” Said Maher: “Yes, they’re right to compare this to Orwell and the ‘Ministry of Truth.’ That’s exactly what it sounds like.”

Over the summer, I re-read 1984 for the fourth time. It’s a harrowing read, reflecting a society in which all moral and spiritual realities have been upended, and it has helped introduce important concepts into the lexicon, such as “Big Brother,” “thoughtcrime,” and “Thought Police.”

How bad were things going to be in the years ahead as described in Orwell’s novel? “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever.”

In the totalitarian regime of the future where the novel takes place, words are used to hide reality. Thus, the state declares:

WAR IS PEACE

FREEDOM IS SLAVERY

IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

The government authorities seek to control all aspects of life, even seeking to control thought itself, lest one commit a “thought crime.” As the novel declares: “Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimeters inside your skull.”

One of the key aspects of life under Party Rule in 1984 is that the past was constantly being rewritten in order to conform to the prevailing ideas of the Party (as in the ascendant Communist Party of Orwell’s era).

The novel notes: “Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date.”

In the novel, Orwell states: “Thus, history is continuously rewritten. This day-to-day falsification of the past, carried out by the Ministry of Truth, is as necessary to the stability of the regime as the work of repression and espionage carried out by the Ministry of Love [a torture chamber] ….The past is whatever the records and the memories agree upon…the past is whatever the Party chooses to make it.”

If one were to incur the wrath of the state (not a difficult thing to do) one might be voided, becoming “an unperson.” The book describes one such man: “He did not exist; he had never existed.” As the Party slogan declares: “Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.”

In this totalitarian vision, the past had to be re-written to serve the future. This reminds me of the ongoing attempt to rewrite America’s past—to erase God from it, and to exaggerate the shortcomings and failings of those who founded America.

No wonder the leftists in our day continually strive to cut us off from the heroes of our past, like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison—and to convert them into villains. Even Abraham Lincoln is not exempt.

Rabbi Daniel Lapin gave me an interview on America’s Christian roots, for my Providence Forum film series, “The Foundation of American Liberty.”

He said that bad things come when we have “isolated people from their background and from their history.” And what happens in American public education? Says Lapin, “We teach children only everything that is rotten and bad that they can find about Americans’ past, isolating children from everything that is glorious and good and noble about the founding of this country.”

The founders of America said that our rights come from God. They are not granted by the state, but by the Creator. The totalitarians, like Stalin and Big Brother in 1984, act as if the state is god on earth. That’s why Communist countries, based on atheism, impose nightmares on virtually everybody. Political and religious censorship is just the tip of the iceberg.

The idea of a federal board that would decide which ideas should be censored in America is frightening to the conservative and the Christian. Christianity is politically incorrect. It always has been. It always will be.

I saw a T-shirt recently that said, “Make ‘1984’ Fiction Again.” That’s a worthy goal. It’s good to hear of the dissolution of the “disinformation board,” which could have put into reality one aspect of what Orwell had written about. That dissolution is a step in the right direction.

POLK COUNTY, FLORIDA: Citizens Defending Freedom Files Complaint RE: Pornographic/Age Inappropriate Books in Public Schools

August 31, 2022/in Courts & Law, Culture War, Education, Healthcare, Must Read, News, Policy, Politics, Social Issues, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Royal A. Brown III

Apparently, No law enforcement agencies in Polk County, Florida have taken any action concerning pornographic/age inappropriate books currently available in Polk County Public School Media Centers. It is difficult for me to explain their seemingly lack of concern about this issue by refusing to even conduct an investigation nor even to openly support an Opt-In option for parents.

We owe our appreciation to Polk County Citizens Defending Freedom (CCDF) and Polk Executive Director Robert Goodman for having the courage and integrity to take this action which 42 Winter Haven 912ers and 48+ County Citizens Defending Freedom members participated in. It seems very reasonable to ask for an OPT-IN policy which will require parents to actually approve access of these books to their children. We are hopeful the State DOE or other agency will weigh in on this issue.

As stated below, Lisa Miller, Sarah Fortney, Sara Beth Wyatt and Kay Fields opposed Superintendent Heid’s initial plan for an Opt-In, Opt-Out policy and convinced him to change it to only an Opt-Out policy which few parents will even know about. In evidence of this, the Aug deadline has already passed with only 42 parents of over 100,000 PCPS students completing the Opt-Out form online. So much for supporting Parent’s Rights.

Lisa Miller expressed concern below about a law suit and that the left would come after the Bible which are both faux reasons in my opinion.

Remember this when voting in General Election in Nov. and vote for Jill Sessions to replace Lisa Miller in the SB run off.

Leader of group targeting Polk school library books asks police agencies to take action

Paul Nutcher The Ledger 09/30/22

The leader of the County Citizens Defending Freedom has tried to get law enforcement, state prosecutors and lawmakers, including the governor’s office, to respond to the group’s complaint that parents should be required to opt-in to let their children checkout books the group says are offensive and harmful to students.

The district has chosen instead to maintain its opt-out policy that allows parents to restrict their students from reading any book at school libraries, but keeps the challenged books in Polk schools.

Robert Goodman followed through with his pledge at the last Polk County School Board meeting to file police reports if the district kept distributing at least 12 of 16 controversial library books the group challenged late last year.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office and several police departments in the county have been in contact with Goodman, the leader of the Polk County CCDF.

Goodman filed reports with Lake Alfred, Winter Haven, Haines City and the Mulberry substation of the Sheriff’s Office as well as its main office to inform law enforcement of the board policy. As of Tuesday, he had not visited the Lakeland or Bartow police departments.

When none of the law enforcement agencies took action, he cast a wider net, writing an email to Gov. Ron DeSantis, Attorney General Ashley Moody, State Attorney Brian Haas of the 10th Judicial Circuit based in Bartow, members of the Florida legislature, county commissioners and the Polk School Board.

Goodman said Tuesday he had received a reply from at least one of the state officials but would not say who it was. None of the state officials contacted by The Ledger responded to requests for comment.

Truth Social Barred From Google Play Until They Add Additional ‘Content Moderation’

By: Cassandra Fairbanks, Gateway Pundit, August 30, 2022:

However, according to a report from The Hill, a Google spokesperson said in a statement on Tuesday that the platform lacks the “effective” content moderation needed to meet Google Play’s terms of service.

“On August 19 we notified Truth Social of several violations of standard policies in their current app submission and reiterated that having effective systems for moderating user-generated content is a condition of our terms of service for any app to go live on Google Play,” the spokesperson said.

The report says that Google is specifically “concerned” about “policies prohibiting content with physical threats and incitements to violence.”

The Google spokesperson said that they contacted Truth Social and that they are addressing the issues to meet the big tech giant’s conditions for getting in the store.

Appearing on Real America’s Voice on Friday, Nunes said that they are waiting on the company to approve them.

“When are we going to be available on Android?” Nunes said. “Well, look, that’s up to the Google Play Store. I mean, we’re waiting on them to approve us, and I don’t know what’s taking so long.”

The president launched Truth Social after being barred from nearly every major social media platform following the protest at the Capitol on January 6.

“On August 19 we notified Truth Social of several violations of standard policies in their current app submission and reiterated that having effective systems for moderating user-generated content is a condition of our terms of service for any app to go live on Google Play,” the spokesperson said.

The report says that Google is specifically “concerned” about “policies prohibiting content with physical threats and incitements to violence.”

The platform reportedly has over a half a million daily active users, including Trump.

According to their website, Truth Social “is America’s ‘Big Tent’ social media platform that encourages an open, free, and honest global conversation without discriminating on the basis of political ideology.”

VIDEOS: Listen to What Ashley Biden Put in Her Diary

August 31, 2022/in Courts & Law, Culture War, Elections, Hot Topics, Must Read, News, Policy, Politics, Social Issues/by Dr. Rich Swier

“Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers.” — Plautus, Roman playwright 200 B.C.

Ashley Blazer Biden is an American social worker, activist, philanthropist, and fashion designer.

She is the daughter of Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. and Jill Biden.

Ashley Biden served as the executive director of the pro diversity, equity, equality Delaware Center for Justice from 2014 to 2019.

It is important to note that halfway house resident Ashely Biden “left her diary behind” when she checked out of the facility. The next resident of Ashley’s room found the diary “under the bed.”

Therefore, just like Ashley’s brother Hunter Biden left his laptop in an Apple computer repair store Ashley did exactly the same thing!

Abandoning one’s personal property is the fault of that person, in this case Ashley.

Those who found these abandoned items committed no crimes. Turning over Ashley’s diary to another person or selling the diary to any journalist is not a crime.

What is a crime is when those who found these “abandoned items” are persecuted and prosecuted by the media, politicians and federal agencies.

Anyone who reported, stated or wrote that Ashley’s diary was stolen is lying. That’s called deformation and disinformation.

What is a crime is pedophilia no matter who does it. Pedophilia is perverted and must be punished as no one is above the law.
