On Tuesday, Alabama Governor Kay Ivey (R) signed legislation prohibiting biological males who identify as transgender from competing in women’s college sports. The bill’s ratification marks the latest in a swath of legislation nationwide aimed at protecting fair play in women’s sports.
The Alabama law is the second measure enacted in the state in the last two years designed to protect female sports. In 2021, the Yellowhammer State put into practice legislation stating that girls’ sports in grades K-12 are limited to biological females.
According to Fox News, Alabama is one of 20 states nationwide that have put in place guidelines prohibiting biological males from competing in women’s sports in recent years. The wave of legislation comes as an increasing number of biological males are being allowed to compete in women’s sporting events, resulting in at least 30 women’s titles being claimed by biological men over the last 20 years, with the vast majority of those male wins occurring in the last four years alone.
“Look, if you are a biological male, you are not going to be competing in women’s and girls’ sports in Alabama,” Ivey said in a statement. “It’s about fairness, plain and simple.”
Alabama State Rep. Susan DuBose (R), the bill’s sponsor, was equally frank about the need for the legislation. “Forcing women to compete against biological men would reverse decades of progress that women have made for equal opportunity in athletics,” she said last month. DuBose went on to add that “no amount of hormone therapy can undo all those advantages” of being born male.
Still, some media outlets are claiming that the argument that biological male athletes have physical advantages over female athletes has “little basis in science,” as declared by the San Francisco Chronicle on Tuesday. But a 2020 study on transgender-identifying biologically male athletes found that even after two years of taking hormones to suppress their testosterone, they still retained a 12% advantage over female athletes in running tests. In a separate Canadian study that found similar results, the authors stated, “Testosterone suppression does not remove the athletic advantage acquired under high testosterone conditions at puberty, while the male musculoskeletal advantage is retained.”
A growing chorus of prominent women athletes and sportscasters have added their voices in support of fair play in women’s sports. In response to biological male transgender-identifying swimmer Lia Thomas’s claim that it’s “transphobic” to limit women’s sports to biological women, Grand Slam tennis champion Martina Navratilova was blunt: “NEWSFLASH Lia — it’s not fair. We shouldn’t have to explain it to you over and over. Also — stop explaining feminism to feminists.”
After ESPN commentator Samantha Ponder recently admitted that she has had “so many [people message] me, stop me in the street to say thank you [and] tell me stories [about] girls who are afraid to speak up for fear of lost employment/being called hateful,” USA Today’s Nancy Armour claimed Ponder was promoting “bigotry.” But ESPN colleague Sage Steele came to Ponder’s defense, tweeting, “Pathetic attack on a WOMAN who is simply fighting for WOMEN in sports … Stay strong @samponder ..this is a lonely fight, but it’s worth it.”
It appears that the fight is becoming less lonely, as another ESPN commentator, who has since left the network, acknowledged that “as a woman … [it] was huge slap in the face” that ESPN celebrated Lia Thomas during Women’s History Month. Meanwhile, Riley Gaines, a former championship swimmer for the University of Kentucky, has become the face of the growing movement to protect women’s sports.
Mary Szoch, director of the Center for Human Dignity at Family Research Council and a former NCAA Division I athlete, expressed support for Alabama’s bill protecting women’s collegiate sports.
“I am so grateful for the new Alabama law recognizing that it is unfair and unsafe for men to play women’s sports at the collegiate level,” she told The Washington Stand. “Sports are meant to teach life lessons, but when we allow men to play women’s sports, the only life lesson we’re teaching is that women will always come in second. I look forward to the day when all 50 states follow Alabama’s lead.”

For those who didn’t know about the Target controversy already, they likely know now.
Forgiato Blow, nicknamed “Trump’s Nephew,” released a song about boycotting Target last week, and it is rapidly climbing the charts. Blow’s music video has at least 705,000 views on YouTube, and the song has been growing in popularity ever since its reveal. “Boycott Target” was ranked #1 for top songs according to iTunes Top 10 Music Charts U.S.A. and has been a headliner in the news this week.
“Boycott Target” was released as a response to Target’s inclusion of LGBTQ products and partnership with a Satanist designer earlier in May. There was a firestorm of backlash from conservatives. Many were upset at the inclusion of over-sexualized ideas in children’s books and children’s clothing. The idea of boycotting Target went viral on social media, and many well-known conservatives have championed the revolt.
Forgiato Blow is an American rapper who has written many songs to demonstrate his love for Donald Trump, America, and conservative ideals. He saw the Target controversy as an opportunity for a hit single, and he took it. Some of his song lyrics include, “Target is targeting your kids” and “We need a clean up on every aisle, inside this store Satan resides.” The music video is filmed inside of the department store, while Blow and other featured artists wave the controversial items at the camera, clearly articulating their views on the products.
While the uproar has been ongoing in the limelight for a few weeks now, this hit song has likely brought attention to a wider, younger audience. A recent Forbes study shows that 94% of Gen Z survey respondents say that music is important to their lives. In that same study, 40% say that music plays a role in shaping their social circle.
“Now that sites have ‘trending’ features, it’s an easy way for the same ideas to be planted in all our heads at the same time,” Zach Sprouse, Regent University student and Family Research Council intern says. “In a way, it’s a good idea to reach Gen Z through trending songs and posts, because most young people are way more likely to listen to the #1 song of the day rather than turn on the news.”
So, is it beneficial for politics to merge with modern arts to impress different ideas? Studies show that this is already happening. “We ought to just embrace it and use trending features to spread our objectives,” Sprouse concludes. Music and the arts are highly influential in modeling our perception of the world. Artists like Forgiato Blow understand the ripple effect of their music and will most likely continue pushing agendas in their work in the future.

The head of a facility that carries out so-called “gender-affirming care” has published a study confirming that transgender surgeries do not improve mental health and make people feel lonelier than those who avoided surgical intervention altogether.
“In our study, the level of life satisfaction in transgender people was not increased in transgender people who had undergone gender-affirming surgery as compared to those who were unoperated,” says a study published Tuesday in BMC Public Health, a peer-reviewed scientific journal.
“[O]ur data indicate that transgender and gender diverse people, who have undergone gender reassignment surgery feel lonelier” than transgender-identified people who have not elected to have surgery, finds a separate study by the same four researchers, originally published online May 11 in the journal Healthcare (Basel).
The researchers also reveal that people who identify as members of the opposite sex experienced greater isolation if they played sports. “[H]igher loneliness levels were significantly associated with … already having a gender reassignment surgery [and] more than 4 [hours] a week of sports activities,” as “compared to no sports activity.”
The German experts collected the data informing both studies from those seeking transgender surgery at a Hamburg surgical center. The respondents were “104 transgender people who had joined self-help groups to get and share information about the gender-affirming surgeries performed at the Division [Department] of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf.” The facility carries out such common transgender procedures as “labiaplasty” and “breast augmentation,” as well as “other surgical services.”
One of the authors of both studies, Dr. Marco Blessmann, has chaired that university’s plastic surgery department since its creation in 2014.
Both studies also list co-author Katharina Grupp’s affiliation as a member of Blessmann’s plastic surgery department (although the university website refers to her as a member of another surgical department; Blessmann’s department states that it collaborates with other departments).
The most recent study finds that people who identify as transgender have lower overall life satisfaction than the general population — and young people suffering from gender dysphoria have worse mental health than older people. Blessmann, et. al., found 31% of transgender-identifying people felt “dissatisfied” or “extremely dissatisfied” with life, while 17% said they were “satisfied” and just one percent felt “extremely satisfied.” People who identify as transgender were 1,290% more likely to describe themselves as “extremely” dissatisfied” than “extremely satisfied” with their lives.
Additionally, “higher levels of life satisfaction were associated with higher age. Previously, authors described that transgender youth was associated with disproportionally high rates of depression, anxiety, suicidality, and non-suicidal self-injury.”
“Such factors are known to be associated with lower life satisfaction,” the authors write.
The latest study, released two days before the beginning of LGBTQ “Pride Month,” is sure to provoke conversation as states debate SAFE Acts to protect minors from the transgender industry and internet searches for such terms as “am I gay” and “am I trans” have increased 1,300% in 19 years, even in the most conservative states.
The latest conclusions come as no surprise to experts. “This finding is sadly consistent with other studies,” Mary Beth Waddell, director of Federal Affairs for Family and Religious Liberty at Family Research Council, told The Washington Stand. “One study showed that the suicide completion rate for those that had undergone surgery was 19 times higher than the general population.”
A study taken in transgender-friendly Sweden concluded, “Persons with transsexualism, after sex reassignment, have considerably higher risks for mortality, suicidal behaviour, and psychiatric morbidity than the general population.”
Despite those studies, members of the transgender surgery industry often insist children will commit suicide unless parents agree to submit their children to life-altering surgeries. “A common tactic was for doctors to tell the parent of a [girl], ‘You can either have a living son or a dead daughter,’” explained Jamie Reed, a far-Left LGBT activist and whistleblower who worked for four years at The Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital.
Scientists have long known mental illness and gender dysphoria are correlated. “Clinical evidence suggests that schizophrenia occurs in patients with GID [gender identity disorder] at rates higher than in the general population and that patients with GID may have schizophrenia-like personality traits,” said a 2014 study. “Toxoplasma infection, reduced levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), early childhood adversity, and links with autism spectrum disorders, may account for some of this overlap.” A 2020 study found people who suffer from gender dysphoria are up to 636% more likely to have autism, as well.
“The only way individuals dealing with gender dysphoria will come to live happy, healthy, and authentic lives is by addressing the source of their dysphoria and pursuing healing,” Waddell told TWS. “Many of the individuals who identify as transgender do so because of trauma, abuse, adverse childhood experiences (which may or may not be traumatic), and other such reasons. Until these root issues are properly dealt with, these individuals will not be completely satisfied.”
Transgender-identified adolescents were more than twice as likely as to report childhood sexual abuse, 161% more likely to endure physical abuse, and 184% more likely to experience psychological abuse than their peers, according to researchers from the University of Pittsburgh. “Transgender adolescents (TGAs) exhibit disproportionate levels of mental health problems compared with cisgender adolescents (CGAs),” reported their 2021 study, published in the journal Pediatrics. “[R]esearchers should examine how more frequent experiences of abuse during childhood could contribute to disproportionate mental health problems observed within this population.”
The evidence shows the best thing parents can do for children questioning their biological identity is to prevent them from having permanently disfiguring surgeries or potentially sterilizing hormone injections. “Even the American Psychiatric Association, which supports gender identity ideology, acknowledges that a high percentage of children will desist from feelings of dysphoria if allowed to go through puberty naturally. This is why we need to pass legislation like the Protecting Children from Experimentation Act of 2023 and the End Taxpayer Funding of Gender Experimentation Act of 2023,” Waddell told TWS.
“Allowing children to go through the natural transitions of youth without interference allows them to come into their own and make wiser decisions about their future.”

Chair
Two Democrats and one Independent joined with all 48 present Senate Republicans on Thursday to pass a resolution blocking President Joe Biden’s plan to shift billions of dollars in student loans onto American taxpayers.
The Congressional Review Act resolution, introduced in the upper chamber by Republican Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy, would overturn the Department of Education’s 2022 move to forgive up to $20,000 in loans for some recipients. A companion resolution introducedby Republican Virginia Rep. Bob Good passedthe House in May, 218-203. Biden has pledged to veto the resolution.
Democrats Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Jon Tester of Montana, along with Independent Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, joined with Republicans.
By a vote of 52-46, the #Senate agreed to passage of H.J. Res. 45, Cassidy Student Loan Waivers CRA.

“We preserved the ability for folks who don’t have the income, who’ve lost their job, who took a low-paying job, to still be able to get relief for their student loans. What this repeals is the student loan pause, but also this kind of, it doesn’t matter who you are or whether you’re in need, those folks who are getting their student loans transferred to the backs of American taxpayers. It’s not forgiven, it’s transferred,” Cassidy said in a video ahead of the vote. “It’s a vote for fairness.”
Under the Congressional Review Act, Congress may pass resolutions of disapproval to block executive orders, although the resolutions are subject to presidential veto. All of Biden’s presidential vetoes have been of Congressional Review Act resolutions. (
Biden announced in August 2022 that the Department of Education would permanently forgive $10,000 in student loans for individuals making less than $125,000 a year and families making less than $250,000. Individuals on Pell grants are eligible for $20,000 of loan forgiveness. He claimed that a 9/11-era allowed him broad authority to forgive student loans for people impacted by the COVID-19 national emergency. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the move will cost taxpayers $400 billion over ten years.
The Fiscal Responsibility Act, passed in the House on Wednesday, ends the student loan payment moratorium that President Donald Trump began at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
ESG, or “environmental, social, governance” investing has become a pernicious threat to our free market.
Large financial institutions such as banks and fund managers are using the gigantic sums of other people’s money they control to push ideological agendas that have nothing to do with investing. Substituting a woke agenda for sound business practice constitutes fundamental breach of the fiduciary duty between investors and those they entrust to manage their funds.
This is institutional leftism at its worst.
Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall writes at the WSJ that, “America’s self-proclaimed ‘socially responsible’ financial institutions, which should be competing in the free market, are instead joining forces with one another and their global counterparts to decide which companies—and, in some cases, which industries—should be permitted to continue their market participation unimpeded… America’s self-proclaimed ‘socially responsible’ financial institutions, which should be competing in the free market, are instead joining forces with one another and their global counterparts to decide which companies—and, in some cases, which industries—should be permitted to continue their market participation unimpeded.”
The ability of banks and investment houses to cut off businesses from the capital they need to operate is an abuse of power.
CFACT is tacking the ESG threat head on. One tactic CFACT pursues is playing an active role in company shareholder meetings.
“Numerous states like Texas, South Carolina, Florida, and Louisiana are pushing back against ESG criteria and taking action to divest from BlackRock. Why doesn’t BlackRock change course and repudiate the divisive nature of ESG criteria, admit it erred in ever getting involved with it, and move on?’”
This question, lumped together with similar ones at the meeting, forced Fink to dodge and filibuster. It’s clear he’s not used to being put on the spot by a conservative voices.
A few weeks before that I also got a chance to ask Bank of America CEO Bryan Moynihan this question: “The large number of shareholder proposals regarding climate change clearly indicates that Bank of America’s strategy of trying to appease the activists is not working. Why doesn’t Bank of America simply focus on maximizing value for shareholders and just ignore these people?”
Again, the CEO’s answer was evasive, but it was also defensive. This is a good thing. This kind of aggressive questioning and awareness raising is having an impact.
Governors and legislators are taking a stand against ESG investing. Shareholders are pushing back hard.
A series of left-wing energy and environmental proposals before the shareholders in recent Exxon and JP Morgan meetings CFACT took part in were shot down in flames.
The free market is the most efficient way to allocate financial resources known to man.
Companies must be allowed to innovate and compete in the free marketplace unimpeded by left-wing virtue-signaling by banks and fund managers.

A Colorado school district encouraged its physical education (P.E.) teachers to don LGBT pride gear and use preferred pronouns in an effort to display their support for the LGBTQ community, according to documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation through a public records request.
On March 8, a group of Jeffco Public Schools high school teachers were trained on how to make the district’s P.E. programs “even more inclusive,” where all students feel welcome regardless of their “race, ethnicity or sexual orientation,” according to a presentation obtained by the DCNF through a public records request. Teachers were trained to engage in “public visibility” by sporting some sort of rainbow pride gear such as a pin or t-shirt, plan or participate in pride events and practice using preferred pronouns.
“We know from research and feedback from students around the country that visibility matters immensely in building inclusion,” the presentation read. “A pin, t-shirt, flags, stickers and use of pronouns are impactful ways of making a difference.”
Teachers can participate in “public visibility” by having “safe-space and ally messages” in waiting areas, hallways and in the locker room, the training stated. Teachers can also wear a “scarf, shirt, tie, lapel pin and shoes” to send a “strong message of support.”
“Guessing” someone’s preferred pronouns can be “offensive and harassing,” while using “correct” pronouns is a good way to show someone you respect them, the training stated. The presentation suggested that teachers include their pronouns on a white board, in their email signature, on their zoom profile and on their business cards.
Students should be allowed to use locker rooms and participate in P.E. classes on the basis of gender identity rather than biological sex, though each transgender student should be assessed on a case-by-case basis, the training stated. To create an “inclusive and safe” locker room, the training suggested teachers use an “anonymous tip box” or “offer alternative spaces.”
“Unless precluded by state interscholastic association policies, students should be permitted to participate in interscholastic athletics in a manner consistent with their gender identity,” the training read.
For sports teams, teachers and coaches were encouraged to document “inclusion” and potentially modify team policies to state that all students are welcome “regardless of race, religion, sexuality or gender identity,” the training stated.
LGBTQ students experience “barriers” that keep them from exercising such as a “lack of safe spaces” in locker rooms and bathrooms, and “gendered classes and teams,” the training showed.
The Education Department (ED) released proposed changes to Title IX in April that, if adopted, would bar public K-12 schools and colleges from adopting a “one-size-fits-all-policy” and prohibit students from joining sports teams on the basis of gender identity. School districts throughout the nation are adopting policies to separate sports teams on the basis of gender identity rather than biological sex; in April, the San Francisco State University athletics director claimed there is no “competitive” difference between men and women in sports.
“We will learn from each other to increase the sense of belonging for our students that identify as LGBTQ+, especially in the world of sports and PE,” the presentation stated.
Jeffco Public Schools did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

Tuesday on MSNBC, former FBI Director James Comey declared former President Trump to be a “threat” to the rule of law, a few weeks after Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation concluded that Comey’s FBI failed to uphold its “mission of strict fidelity to the law.”
“He represents a serious threat to the rule of law in this country,” Comey claimed when asked if he’s worried about another Trump presidency. “And anyone with eyes to see can see that.”
The Durham report found that both the FBI and the Department of Justice failed in their mission to uphold the law by launching the investigation into allegations that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia. Durham found there was no sufficient evidence to begin that probe.
Comey has also been criticized for not pursuing charges against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton despite acknowledging she mishandled classified information on a private email server. The Durham report also concluded that the FBI displayed “markedly different” treatment of the Clinton and Trump campaigns during its investigations.
In a separate MSNBC appearance, Comey responded to the Durham report’s conclusions about improper FBI actions by stating “there’s always going to be mistakes” in FBI investigations. “It doesn’t mean the FBI isn’t competent, honest and independent,” Comey explained.
Yes it does, and it also means Comey is a Deep State traitor.
Comey Says Biden & Harris Will Try to “Heal” America from the Damage Done by Trump
“Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are going to try to heal a country both spiritually and literally,” Comey said in a January 2021 interview with NPR, “because so many of our fellow citizens are sick and dying [of COVID-19]. And I just think Donald Trump’s craving for attention is something we don’t want to accommodate now. We don’t want him [at the] center of our lives. I’d rather him in his bathrobe yelling at cars on the lawn at Mar-a-Lago with the camera lights off. I think that’s the best thing for the country now.”

Early on, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton smelled a rat. As Tom wrote in his 2020 book, A Republic Under Assault, Judicial Watch had for years been digging deep into the origins of the notorious anti-Trump Steele Dossier—“a thirty-five-page report filled with ludicrous, salacious and completely unfounded allegations”—and the relentless campaign against President Donald Trump. “Let us cast our minds back to April 2016,” Tom wrote. An investigative firm named Fusion GPS was hired to dig up dirt on candidate Trump. Fusion GPS in turn hired former British spy Christopher Steele. Steele produced the dossier, which was leaked to the press and caused a media sensation.
“Please focus on one of the most pertinent facts in this case,” Tom wrote. “Fusion GPS was hired by the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.”
Next, Tom wrote, the FBI “used [the] completely fake dossier paid for by the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign to spy on Donald Trump.”
While the media and official Washington remained transfixed by allegations of Trump depredations for years, Judicial Watch proceeded to uncover key information showing that the Clintons and their allies were behind the smears that trigged a sweeping FBI investigation and special counsel probes that ruined lives and careers and nearly toppled a presidency.
Judicial Watch uncovered the FBI “EC”—the electronic communication that officially launched the “Crossfire Hurricane” counterintelligence investigation of President Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. The document was written by Peter Strzok, the deputy assistant director of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division. An avowed anti-Trump partisan, Strzok was fired after an inspector general investigation revealed anti-Trump text messages (including one where Strzok vowed to “stop” Trump) between him and his lover, FBI attorney Lisa Page.
Judicial Watch exposed serious problems with the Crossfire Hurricane, court-approved FBI surveillance of an innocent American citizen, Carter Page, a part-time Trump advisor. In August 2018, in a Judicial Watch case, the Justice Department admitted in a court filing that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court held no hearings on the spy warrant applications targeting Page. Judicial Watch litigation also uncovered the secret warrants that confirmed the FBI and Justice Department misled the court in withholding evidence that the Clinton campaign was behind the information used to persuade the court to approve the surveillance warrants targeting Page.
Judicial Watch proved that high-level Justice Department and State Department officials were involved in surreptitiously circulating anti-Trump smears at the highest levels of government and providing information to the 2016 Clinton campaign. Judicial Watch obtained FBI “302” interview reports with Justice Department official Bruce Ohr. Ohr told FBI investigators that “reporting on Trump’s ties to Russia were going to the Clinton Campaign” and to “Jon Winer at the U.S. State Department and the FBI.”
Judicial Watch put sunlight on Steele Dossier author Christopher Steele’s close association with the FBI, including payments to Steele by the FBI for work as a confidential source. Documents obtained by Judicial Watch show at least eleven FBI payments to Steele, note that he was admonished by the FBI for unspecified reasons, and that eventually the bureau grew wary of Steele and dropped him as a source.
Tom insisted for years that top Obama Administration officials knew exactly what was going on. “Obama knew. Clinton knew. Biden knew,” Tom tweeted. “Comey knew. Brennan knew. McCabe knew. Strzok knew. Clapper knew. Schiff knew. FBI knew. DOJ knew. CIA knew. State knew. They all knew Trump was innocent but they smeared and spied on him.”
This month, significant new evidence comes to correct the historical record—and prove Tom right. The new evidence comes from the report of Special Counsel John Durham.
Attorney General William Barr appointed Durham in April 2019 to get to the bottom of the Russia mess. Barr told Congress he wanted a review of “the genesis and conduct of intelligence activities directed at the Trump campaign during 2016.”
Durham’s prosecution record is a bust—two failed court cases and one low-level plea deal—but his 300-page, highly detailed final report is sensational.
Durham’s central mandate was to investigate the opening and conduct of the Crossfire Hurricane probe into possible Trump collusion with elements of the Russian government, particularly whether “any person or entity violated the law in connection with the intelligence, counter-intelligence, or law-enforcement activities directed at the 2016 presidential campaign.”
“Our findings,” the Durham Report notes, “…are sobering.”
Finding: at the opening of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, there was no evidence of collusion.
“Neither U.S. law enforcement nor the intelligence community appears to have possessed any actual evidence of collusion in their holdings at the commencement of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation,” the Durham Report noted. [Italics added].
Durham goes into stunning detail. He notes that Crossfire Hurricane “was opened as a full investigation without [the FBI] ever having spoken to the persons who provided the information…without (i) any significant review of its own intelligence databases, (ii) collection and examination of any relevant intelligence from other U.S. intelligence entities, (iii) interviews of witnesses essential to understand the information it had received, (iv) using any of the standard analytical tools typically employed by the FBI in evaluating raw intelligence. Had it done so…the FBI would have learned that their own experienced Russia analysts had no information about Trump being involved with Russian leadership officials, nor were others in sensitive positions at the CIA, the NSA, and the State Department aware of such evidence.”
Finding: Obama and Biden knew about Clinton plans to link Trump to Russia.
Durham reports that top Obama administration officials—including the president, Vice President Biden, the FBI director, the Attorney General and others—were briefed by CIA Director John Brennan on reports of a plan by the Clinton campaign to “vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security services.”
Elements of the Clinton Plan were disclosed in 2020 when the Director of National Intelligence reported it in a declassified letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee, but Durham adds significant new context—and hints there is more hidden behind the walls of government secrecy. In a classified appendix to the report, Durham notes, there are “specific indications and additional facts that heightened the potential relevance of [the Clinton Plan intelligence] to the Office’s inquiry.”
In an interview with the special counsel, Durham notes, Hillary Clinton dodged questions about “her alleged plan to stir up a scandal between Trump and the Russians. Clinton stated it was ‘really sad,’ but ‘I get it, you have to go down every rabbit hole.’”
Finding: the Steele Dossier was a slanderous Clinton campaign creation devoid of real evidence and used by the FBI to target Carter Page.
Durham devotes more than 150 pages of his report to the Steele Dossier and its devastating ramifications. “Perkins Coie, a law firm acting as counsel to the Clinton campaign…retained Fusion GPS…to conduct opposition research on Trump and his associates.” Fusion GPS hired Steele. From July through December 2016, Durham wrote, “Steele and Fusion GPS prepared a series of reports containing derogatory information about purported ties between Trump and Russia. According to the reports, important connections between Trump and Russia ran through campaign manager Paul Manafort and foreign policy advisor Carter Page.”
Durham details at length how the Steele reports “played an important role in [FBI] applications to the [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court] targeting Page, a U.S. person. The FBI relied substantially on the [Steele] reports to assert probable cause that Page was knowingly engaged in clandestine intelligence activities on behalf of Russia.”
The problem with the FBI’s assertion? Durham notes: “the FBI was not able to corroborate a single substantive allegation contained in the Steele reports, despite protracted efforts to do so.” [Italics added.]
Finding: Clinton good—Trump bad—the FBI repeatedly gave all things Clinton a pass while hitting Trump hard.
In the course of his investigation, Durham learned of three attempts by foreign governments to funnel money to the Clintons or otherwise buy influence. Durham is measured, but it’s easy to read between the lines on the double standard. “The speed and manner in which the FBI opened and investigated Crossfire Hurricane during the presidential election season based on raw, unanalyzed, and uncorroborated intelligence also reflected a noticeable departure from how it approached prior matters involving possible attempted foreign election interference plans aimed at the Clinton campaign,” Durham noted.
In the eighteen months leading up to the 2016 election, “the FBI was required to deal with a number of proposed [Clinton] investigations that had the potential of affecting the election. In each of those instances, the FBI moved with considerable caution.”
In one instance, the FBI ended the case after its confidential source was found to be funneling money to the Clintons. In a second case, the FBI placed so many restrictions on how matters were to be handled that “essentially no investigative activities occurred for months leading up to the election.” In the third case, the FBI elected to give “defensive briefings” to Clinton and others. No such briefings, Durham notes, were offered at any time to the Trump campaign.
Finding: Investigations into the Clinton Foundation were killed by top Justice Department and FBI officials.
Durham notes that beginning in January 2016, three different FBI field offices—Little Rock, New York, and Washington—“opened investigations into possible criminal activity involving the Clinton Foundation.” Foreign governments were suspected of making, or planning to make, “contributions to the Foundation in exchange for favorable or preferential treatment” from Hillary Clinton.
Top Washington officials opposed the probes, Durham reports. One Justice Department section chief interviewed by Durham recalled the department’s reaction to a Clinton Foundation briefing as “hostile.”
At a February 2016 meeting about possibly closing the Clinton Foundation cases, a participant told Durham that FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was “negative” and “annoyed” and “angry,” wanting to close the probes. “Why are we even doing this?” McCabe is reported to have said. Judicial Watch has reported extensively on McCabe and his Democratic Party ties.
FBI field officials prevailed on McCabe at that meeting to keep the investigations open, but six months later the inquiries were dead in the water, Durham reports. The Washington and Little Rock field office probes were folded into the New York investigation. But the New York investigation went nowhere because Justice Department branches in New York declined to issue subpoenas.
Last week, the New York Times added new twists to the Clinton Foundation story, noting that after prosecutors in New York declined to issue subpoenas, the case moved back to Little Rock. Prosecutors in Little Rock closed the case in January 2021 but not without protest from line FBI agents in Arkansas. The “top agent in Little Rock,” the Times reported, “wanted it known that career prosecutors, not FBI officials, were behind the decision” to close the case.
The Times reported that the FBI received an official “declination memo” closing the case in August 2021—effectively making the decision to stop investigating the Clinton Foundation a move by the Biden Administration.
That’s a move worth a closer look. So is the FBI claim, according to the Times, that all of the evidence developed during the investigation “has been returned or otherwise destroyed.”
After all the revelations about misconduct at the highest levels of government in the Trump Russia saga, it’s impossible to take FBI assertions at face value—as John Durham has proved, and as Tom Fitton presciently recognized so long ago.

Biden and the Democrats are funding the murder of Jews.
The Muslim terrorist campaign, funded by foreign aid from the United States, continues. The latest casualty is Meir Tamari.
(JNS) – A 32-year-old Israeli man was killed on Tuesday in a terrorist shooting near the Jewish community of Hermesh in northwestern Samaria.
The victim, identified as Meir Tamari, sustained a bullet wound to the upper body, medics said. He received treatment at the scene before being evacuated by helicopter to Hillel Yaffe Medical Center in Hadera, where he was pronounced dead.
Tamari is survived by his wife and two children, ages one and three.
The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades claimed responsibility for the shooting.
Meir Tamari is the 20th victim of Islamic terrorism in Israel so far this year. That tops the combined number of Israeli deaths in all of 2019 and 2020 under Trump. At this rate, there will likely be more Israelis killed in 2023 than during the entire Trump administration.
As I wrote earlier this year, this is due to the Biden administration’s decision to provide political support and funding for the terrorists.
In Feb 2019, President Trump’s total cutoff of aid became official. That year, 10 Israelis or people in Israeli controlled areas were killed in stabbings, shootings, rocket and other attacks, down from 12 the previous year, and 15 in 2017, and 16 in 2016.
In 2020 however only three Israelis were killed.
More murders comes down to more money.
The Trump administration cut off aid to the PLO’s Palestinian Authority and Congress passed the Taylor Force Act banning funds from going to finance Pay-to-Slay.
Throughout all this, PLO leadership have been consistent in refusing to stop financing terrorism.
“We will neither reduce nor prevent [payment] of allowances to the families of martyrs, prisoners and released prisoners, as some seek, and if we had only a single penny left, we would pay it to families of the martyrs and prisoners,” Abbas had bragged. By “martyrs”, he meant those Islamic terrorists who were killed while carrying out terrorist attacks.
Despite this, the Biden administration had restored aid and rebuilt diplomatic relations. Biden and Blinken have met with Abbas. And while they have attacked Israel over everything from letting Jews pray on the Temple Mount (due to Jewish prayers offending Muslim sensibilities) to democratic judicial reform that will limit the unilateral authority of pro-terrorist judges, Biden and Blinken have had nothing to say to the terrorists about the program funding the murder of Jews.
Terrorists are paid based on the length of their prison sentence. That means successful killers can earn $2,000 to $3,000 a month in a part of the world where the average salary is around $700 a month. It’s five times more profitable to be a terrorist than a teacher.
The Palestinian Authority calls for the murder of Jews, praises it and then rewards it.
And the Biden administration rewards the Palestinian Authority.
In a statement carried by Palestinian media, the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror group, loosely linked to the Palestinian Authority’s ruling Fatah party, claimed responsibility for the deadly attack.
“We affirm that this operation and others will not be the final response to our martyrs,” the statement read.
Biden and the Democrats are funding the murder of Jews.

The House of Representatives passed on Wednesday night the Fiscal Responsibility Act, which would raise the debt ceiling into January 2025.
The legislation, negotiated by Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy and President Joe Biden, allows the federal government to take on unlimited debt through January 1, 2025. Both parties overwhelmingly supported the Fiscal Responsibility Act, with 165 Democrats and 149 Republicans voting in favor. Seventy-one Republicans and 46 Democrats opposed it. The Senate is planning to take up the legislation immediately, since the federal government will likely default on its debt on June 5.

As part of McCarthy and Biden’s negotiations, the two agreed on various provisions that will impact the federal budget over the next several years. Here’s what’s in the Fiscal Responsibility Act:
Debt ceiling increase:
The key provision of the Fiscal Responsibility Act suspends the debt ceiling through January 1, 2025. Unlike the House-passed Limit, Save, Grow Act, the Fiscal Responsibility Act does not raise the debt ceiling by a specific dollar amount. The Limit, Save, Grow Act would have raised the debt ceiling through March 2024 or by $1.5 trillion.
Critics of the Fiscal Responsibility Act like Republican South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott have argued that the failure to affix a dollar amount to the debt ceiling effectively gives President Joe Biden “an open checkbook.” Others have placed the Fiscal Responsibility Act’s effective debt ceiling increase at $4 trillion.
Spending caps:
The Fiscal Responsibility Act caps non-defense discretionary spending at Fiscal Year 2022 levels for Fiscal Year 2024. It sets FY2024 non-defense discretionary spending at $704 billion, and the same category at $711 billion in FY2025. Defense discretionary spending will be set at $886 billion in FY2024 and $895 billion in FY2025. It also encourages Congress to pass appropriations bills for each of the 12 cabinet-level federal agencies by imposing sequestration if the individual bills are not passed.
“This bill, in year one, might cut $12 billion, if you just want to be generous,” Florida Rep. Byron Donalds, who opposes the legislation, said Tuesday. “The spending caps that are in this deal are something we were not supportive of and I will tell you that all the spending caps do is keep the post-COVID spending levels for the federal agencies intact.”
Permitting reform:
One provision requires the Secretary of the Army to approve all permits related to the Mountain Valley Pipeline within three weeks of the bill’s passage, a significant win for embattled Democratic West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin. Manchin attempted to pass permitting reform and get the pipeline approved in the 117th Congress, but a left-wing revolt killed his Energy Independence and Security Act. Several Democrats, including Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine and Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva, have announced their opposition to the pipeline’s inclusion.
Other provisions, adopted from the Energy Independence and Security Act, require environmental impact assessments to be completed within one year and environmental impact statements within two years. Those limits amend the National Environmental Policy Act.
Funding clawbacks:
The Fiscal Responsibility Act claws back $28 billion in unspent COVID-19 stimulus funds. It also cuts $1.4 billion in IRS funding, and the White House and GOP leadership reportedly have a handshake agreement to redirect $20 billion more.

“Mar-a-Lago, FL— In a new video, President Donald J. Trump pledged to honor America’s founding in 1776 with “Salute to America 250,” a one-year celebration of 250 years of American independence with Iowa at the center of the action.
“Three years from now, the United States will celebrate the biggest and most important milestone in our country’s history — 250 years of American Independence,” President Trump said. “That’s why as a nation, we should be preparing for the most spectacular birthday party. We want to make it the best of all time.”
“Once back in the White House, President Trump will work with America’s 50 governors to create the “Great American State Fair” in Iowa, host major sporting events with American high school athletes, and sign an executive order to construct a National Garden of American Heroes.
To showcase our great country, President Trump will invite leaders and citizens from around the world to visit the United States, and President Trump will ask America’s courageous religious communities to pray for our great nation.
CELEBRATING AMERICA WITH IOWA AT THE CENTER OF THE ACTION: President Trump pledges to honor America’s founding in 1776 with a full year of celebration. President Trump will:
On Day One, convene a White House task force called “Salute to America 250,” responsible for coordinating with state and local governments to ensure an entire year of festivities across the country from Memorial Day 2025 to July 4th, 2026.
Work with all 50 governors to create the Great American State Fair, a unique one-year exhibition featuring pavilions from all fifty states.
“My hope is that the amazing people of IOWA will work with my administration to open up the legendary Iowa state fairgrounds to host the Great American State Fair and welcome millions and millions of visitors from around the world to the heartland of America for this special one-time festival.”
Host major sporting contests for high school athletes to allow young Americans from every state to show off the best of American skill, sportsmanship, and competitive spirit.
Sign an Executive Order on Day One to bring back the National Garden of American Heroes and commission artists for the first 100 statues to populate the new park.
Invite the leaders and citizens of nations around the world to visit the United States in honor of the 250thanniversary.
Ask America’s great religious communities to pray for our nation and our people as we prepare for this momentous occasion.
Ask Americans to come together and rededicate ourselves as one nation under God as we chart a course toward the next 250 years of American history.
OFFERING AN INSPIRING AND UNIFYING VISION OF A SUCCESSFUL AMERICAN FUTURE: This plan builds on President Trump’s longstanding commitment to honor our nation’s 250th anniversary and offers Americans from every state in the Union the chance to come together and share innovative visions for a successful American future:
In his first address to a joint session of Congress in February 2017, President Trump noted, “in 9 years the United States will celebrate the 250th anniversary of our founding – 250 years since the day we declared our Independence.”
In his remarks, President Trump outlined an optimistic vision for America grounded in a renewal of the American Spirit and expressed hope that “the 250th year for America will see a world that is more peaceful, more just, and more free.”
President Trump stated, “When we fulfill this vision—when we celebrate our 250 years of glorious freedom—we will look back on tonight as when this new chapter of American Greatness began.”
President Trump has promised to finish what he started and is once again proposing a bold, forward-looking agenda to restore American greatness.
President Trump believes that the Great American State Fair will showcase the glory of every state in the Union, promote pride in our history, and put forth innovative visions for America’s future.
HONORING AMERICA’S HISTORY: Throughout his time in office, President Trump has consistently celebrated the glory of American Independence.
During his time in office, President Trump honored our country’s founding in special remarks to the American people on Independence Day.
On July 4, 2019, President Trump delivered “Salute to America” remarks at the Lincoln Memorial where he said, “With a single sheet of parchment and 56 signatures, America began the greatest political journey in human history.”
In his 2020 “Salute to America” Independence Day remarks, President Trump stated, “Two hundred and forty-four years ago in Philadelphia, the 56 signers of our Declaration of Independence pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to boldly proclaim this eternal truth: that we are all made equal by God.”
The President added, “Thanks to the courage of those patriots of July 4th, 1776, the American Republic stands today as the greatest, most exceptional, and most virtuous nation in the history of the world.”
In his remarks at Mount Rushmore on July 3, 2020, President Trump noted, “Our Founders launched not only a revolution in government, but a revolution in the pursuit of justice, equality, liberty, and prosperity… It was all made possible by the courage of 56 patriots who gathered in Philadelphia 244 years ago and signed the Declaration of Independence. They enshrined a divine truth that changed the world forever when they said: ‘…all men are created equal.’”
President Trump added, “1776 represented the culmination of thousands of years of western civilization and the triumph not only of spirit, but of wisdom, philosophy, and reason.”
In July 2020, the President took action to establish the National Garden of American Heroes, a statuary park that will memorialize our American heroes for generations to come.
On September 17, 2020, Constitution Day, the President convened the first White House Conference on American History to address ongoing attempts to distort America’s history.
During the conference, President Trump declared, “To grow up in America is to live in a land where anything is possible, where anyone can rise, and where any dream can come true — all because of the immortal principles our nation’s founders inscribed nearly two and a half centuries ago.”
In November 2020, President Trump also created the 1776 Commission to improve understanding of the history and principles of our nation’s founding among America’s rising generations.
In its “1776 Report”, the Commission stated, “As we approach the 250th anniversary of our independence, we must resolve to teach future generations of Americans an accurate history of our country so that we all learn and cherish our founding principles once again.” “

Trump Announces ‘Salute To America 250’ – A One-Year Celebration of 250 Years of American Independence
“The pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine and reset our world.” — Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman, World Economic Forum
“The most important question in 21st-century economics may well be, ‘What should we do with all the superfluous people, once we have highly intelligent non-conscious algorithms that can do almost everything better than humans?’” — Yuval Noah Harari
“In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority… National sovereignty wasn’t such a great idea after all.” — Strobe Talbot, Clinton Administration Deputy Secretary of State (Time Magazine)
“We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” — Elie Wiesel
Psychological warfare has been used against the American people since the middle 1800s. Our enemies have gained immense ground with the years of Sars-CoV-2 fear and propaganda. They want to rid us of our sovereignty, our borders, our people and our property. All of this was laid out long ago by those who have had a hand in destroying the vast and beautiful country founded on the freedoms granted not by men, but by our Creator.
These purveyors of evil want to be gods, and they’re in lockstep with their goals of changing America into a joyless and empty state.
As Klaus Schwab has stated, “You will have nothing and be happy.” By 2030, their goal is slavery for all of mankind.
Their satanic movement may temporarily succeed, but the majority of their demonic minions haven’t a clue of what our Creator has planned for them.
Bioweapon
At the EU Parliament COVID Conference, Dr. David Martin stated, “Coronavirus as a model of a pathogen was isolated in 1965. Coronavirus was identified in 1965 as one of the first infectious replicable viral models that could be used to modify a series of other experiences of the human condition. It was isolated once upon a time associated with the common cold. What is so interesting about its isolation in 1965 is that it was immediately identified as a pathogen that can be modified for a whole host of reasons. In 1966 the UK and USA got together and did just that…a biological. In 1967 they inoculated people with the first modified coronavirus.”
Fleming stated that there is no evidence that Sars-CoV-2, the virus that causes C-19, is naturally occurring. There is no animal model for it.
“The biological weapons convention treaty states that any adjustment or modification of a biological agent like this virus, that doesn’t provide a benefit for mankind, is a biological weapon. These particular changes in this virus, including the PrrA Insert which are amino acids that were inserted that are very critical, for the urine cleavage site, for this virus to infect. The insertion sites that were made with HIV and simian or ape-like HIV equivalent viruses, the prion-like domain at the top of the spike protein, as well as the HIV glycoprotein 120 insert, that Shi Zhengli put in early on, that’s critical for the attachment of this virus to cells, all of which are not naturally occurring.”
Dr. Fleming stated that they looked at all the different coronaviruses that exist on the planet and none of them have the PrrA Insert, nor the tremendous amount of HIV Insert. He said, “This is a prion like binding domain and prions are things that are abnormal proteins that cause other proteins to become abnormally folded.”
The data shows there were genetic changes made to the spike protein in a lab to create what is known as Covid-19.
“The type of research that had been done with Corona viruses, were funded by the US, supported by NIAID, NIH, Department of Defense, monies that went to Peter Daszak at ECO Health, to Ralph Baric at the University of North Carolina, to Shi Zhengli at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and to several other universities around the country, including in the state of Texas.”
Propaganda, Genocide and Slavery
Fear and propaganda, prompted obedience.
The unvaccinated were called murderers, variant factories, spreaders. Media stated they should not receive health care; they should be quarantined from society. Fauci even claimed we were propagating the outbreak. All lies.
John Abramson’s February 2023 article in Imprimis gives some shocking statistics on Big Pharma’s drugs. Germany’s Ministry of Health found that of 216 new drugs entering the German market from 2011-2017, only 54 were of “major” or considerable benefit. Thirty-seven were evaluated to be of “minor,” “less,” or “non-quantifiable” benefit. And there was “no proof of added benefit” for 125 of the drugs.
America doesn’t even have a formal mechanism of evaluating new products.
It was fear of the Jews spreading disease in Nazi Germany, fomented by Goebbels’ propaganda. With Sars-CoV-2, media’s propaganda was vicious against those who refused the vaccine. Unelected government agencies, corporations, hospitals, physician groups, all mandated the jabs. Medicine was taken over by government, just as it was in Nazi Germany.
In Nazi Germany, eugenics started with the physically disabled, mentally ill and elderly. The same thing happened in America. Scott and Cindy Schara saw the death of their high functioning Down Syndrome daughter, Grace. She was given three palliative care injections within 30 minutes repressing her already compromised respiratory system.
Midazolam was purchased in huge quantities in the UK and the US, and it was prescribed in lethal doses to C-19 patients.
The result was genocide…murder.
In March and April of 2020, the wealthiest countries in the world, United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, issued directives to hospitals not to treat the elderly. The NIH hospital protocols guaranteed mass euthanasia.
Governor Andrew Cuomo predicted the virus in nursing homes would be like fire through dry grass. Elderly humans are regarded as an economic burden, “useless eaters” or as Harari calls them, “superfluous people.” The US has never owned up to their genocidal policy against the elderly when five state governors put C-19 patients in nursing homes. In New York City alone, 15,000 elderlies died.
Andrew Cuomo was persuaded to do this by the insurance industry of New York and then he gave immunity to the hospitals and nursing homes.
Cost of the elderly and infirm was eliminated.
On page 170 of the Pfizer Documents Analysis Report, Pfizer knew their drug, Prevnar, a pneumococcal drug, may prevent C-19 in age 65 and older. Prior research pointed to the protective effects of Prevnar in viral and bacterial respiratory diseases. Prevnar also showed protective effects in C-19.
Pfizer was silent.
Dr. Zev Zelenko, bless his soul, said, “Those who really should have been on trial at Nuremberg, were Henry Ford who received an award from Hitler in 1938 equal to the U.S. Medal of Honor, Rockefeller owned the company that made Zyklon B to gas the Jews, GM made 75% of the trucks for the Nazi War machine, and IBM provided the primitive computer punch card system in order to manage the concentration camps.
“There are underlings, politicians, agencies, corporations etc. who are accessories to genocide, but unless we cut off the head, they’re just going to do it again.”
Vera Sharav stated, “The efficiency of IBM technology enabled industrialized level genocide and they are now at it again. It was IBM who Governor Cuomo of New York State contracted for the Vax Passport. The digital identity they’re now pushing is the ticket to slavery.”
Unless you were jabbed, you weren’t allowed in restaurants, bars, theatres, sports arenas, etc.
“Your papers please!”
Once we go into this digital system, the government will control everything we do. Trudeau gave a hint of this when he cut off protesting truckers from their bank accounts and even from their children.
Obedience ends in slavery.
Dr. Zelenko commented, “We have a few global psychopaths/sociopaths who have engineered a brilliant plan, evil, but brilliant, to enable the enslavement of humanity.”
Their plans will seem to succeed for a while, but our Creator will intervene and those evil plans will ultimately fail.
Rockefeller’s 2010, Operation Lockstep, stated, “Even after the pandemic is over, the researchers wrote that the authoritarian control would remain with supervision of the citizens and their activities.” Link
There is now a medical insurance code for Americans who have not received the C-19 injections. Yes, they’re watching us.
Medicine abandoned their Hippocratic oath to “do no harm” and fell into lockstep with the directives from unelected agencies, WHO, NIH, FDA, CDC, AMA. All were in on it. They became agents of the state, for euthanasia, infanticide and genocide. Biden handed out a billion dollars to media to run positive propaganda for the injections.
Der Fuhrer Schwab
“You never let a serious crisis go to waste.” Many have made this statement and it is management by crisis to do things the governments ordinarily could not do. Klaus Schwab is the new leader for the planned “Great Reset” the Lord God warned us about. Yes, this is the unthinkable satanic evil the Bible warned us about 2,000 years ago. It will be a world where your property, your identity, your money will be controlled by government.
Surveillance, finance and scoring are the pillars of the Great Reset Agenda. Social credit scoring, as in communist China, is coming. Klaus Schwab, like Maurice Strong before him, is a big fan of China’s system and the country’s current leader.
Klaus Schwab’s father was Eugen Schwab; he was a manager of the Swiss-German company called Escher-Wyss factory in Schwab’s hometown of Ravensburg, Germany. In the 1930s, the Escher-Wyss factory was directly managed by Eugen Schwab and was the largest employer in Ravensburg. Hitler awarded Escher-Wyss with the title of “National Socialist Model Company” while Eugen was at the helm.
The Red Cross had a rumored agreement with various companies, including Escher-Wyss, that the Allied forces were not to target the Southern German town. It was never classified as a significant military target. The town was infamous in 1934 for the sterilization of people diagnosed with mental or various other illnesses.
Ravensburg was the first German city to practice eugenics by killing “useless eaters.” Yuval Noah Harari is still using this term. He tells us that we are now in another industrial revolution. Schwab calls it the 4th Industrial Revolution, but it is really the 4th Reich, worldwide fascism and death to the undesirables, those “superfluous people.”
Harari says the product in this revolution will be humans themselves and they intend to produce bodies and brains and minds via bioengineering and brain interfaces. Medical experiments and genetic modification on people, far greater than what was done with C-19 injections, will happen just like the Nazis did in their day.
Ravensburg was a transport hub for stolen Nazi gold to the Swiss Bank for International Settlements, and Eugen Schwab aided the Nazis in producing significant weapons of war and armaments. Klaus’ father was also involved in using forced laborers to work at his “model Nazi company.” Nearly 3,600 forced laborers, including POWs, made up one of the largest forced labor camps.
Shades of Klaus’ statement, “You will own nothing and be happy.”
In 1966, Escher-Wyss had merged with the Sulzer brothers. In 1967, Klaus joined the renamed company, Sulzer-Escher-Wyss, in even darker aspects of the global nuclear arms race. Klaus also helped to rehabilitate the eugenics-influenced population control policies from the post WWII era. He transformed the company into a technology corporation for a new hi-tech future, including another focus of their business to “form the basis for “medical technology” products.
In 1971 after marrying Hilde, a former assistant, he formed the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland.
Schwab has courted heads of state, leading business executives, and the elite of academic and scientific circles into the Davos fold for over 50 years. More recently, he has also courted the ire of many due to his more recent role as the front man of the Great Reset, a sweeping effort to remake civilization globally for the express benefit of the elite of the World Economic Forum and their allies.
Klaus Schwab was born on March 30th, 1938 in Ravensburg, Germany. He and his younger brother both followed in their father’s footsteps and became machine engineers. Klaus studied for a plethora of degrees, including at Harvard where he met and was mentored by war loving Henry Kissinger.
The Intercept’s latest, Blood on His Hands, claims Kissinger’s carpet bombing of Cambodia killed 150,000 civilians. Equally disgusting is Kissinger’s deceit with the North Vietnamese which cost the lives of POWs and information regarding MIA soldiers.
Hilde is the Chairman and Co-Founder of the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship at WEF. In 1998, she and her husband created the foundation to provide a platform where they could engage with global businesses and political leaders to “solve” social and environmental challenges. The entire Schwab family is active in literally changing the way the entire planet does business, including social aspects which means the people will be thoroughly and totally controlled.
Slavery.
Klaus and Hilde’s daughter, Nicole Schwab is the co-founder of the Gender Equality Project, Co-Head of Nature-Based Solutions and member of the Executive Committee of the World Economic Forum. She knew the COVID crisis enabled WEF to shift quickly to create a change in what they call “restoration generation.” She said the youth are the integral part of the takeover, just as did Hitler in the 1930s. The entire world is now full of Hitler Youths, Global Youths, who will be that “Restoration Generation.”
Their son, Olivier Schwab, is serving as the Head of Technology and Managing Director of the World Economic Forum. He states that “through the platform, we’ve channeled about 100 million dollars’ worth of venture funding for some of the impact entrepreneurs. Oh yes, anyone can help with the SDG goals.
They are building the New World Order, the Fourth Reich, the Great Reset, the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Their target date is 2030. This means by 2030, they want to control the entire planet, all finances, all food, all healthcare, all education, all people, all water, all energy, all businesses, all transportation, all buying and selling, and every single aspect of all life on planet earth, including all of God’s creation.
Hiding behind a mask of corporations, funds, foundations, think tanks and a maze of interconnections, Klaus is busy recreating the Fourth Reich and promoting the age-old Nazi ideology. His SS are all over the world. In America, members of WEF are scattered throughout our state and federal governments, both left and right. They are the “entrepreneurs” of this new 4th Reich.
The Reich Minister of Propaganda, Josef Goebbels would be proud of our media’s repeated lies of fear and panic during the Sars-CoV-2 years.
Reichsführer of the Schutzstaffel (SS), and a leading member of the Nazi Party of Germany, Heinrich Himmler, the architect of the Holocaust, would be proud of how many entrepreneurs have joined the new party, the World Economic Forum. They were active during the lockdowns and mandates with their control of the masses.
Angel of Death, Josef Mengele would be proud of the facilitators of the global pandemic and bioweapon jabs, causing millions of deaths with their experiments on the world’s human and animal population.

A 1999 proclamation from former President Bill Clinton began what has become known as Pride Month. From 2009 to 2016 President Barack Obama declared June LGBT Pride Month. Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. now continues the celebration of Pride Month beginning on June 1st thru June 30th.
From a Muslim, Jewish and Christian perspective “Pride Month” is the worship of demonic sins:
Leviticus 18:22-23 states, “It is an abomination to lie with a male as with a woman and to mate with them.”
The Quran 4:16 reads, “And the two who commit it among you, dishonor them both. But if they repent and correct themselves, leave them alone. Indeed, Allah is ever Accepting of repentance and Merciful.” Al-Araf 80-81 reads, “And [We had sent] Lot when he said to his people. Do you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds? Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people.”
The Torah in Genesis 19:4-5 reads, “But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both young and old, all the people to the last man, surrounded the house; and they called to Lot, ‘Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, so that we may know them.’”
One of the Seven Deadly Sins is Pride.Pride is an excessive view of one’s self without regard for others. The Bible says the following in Jeremiah 9:23-24, “…Let not the mighty man boast of his might…but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me…” Pride is also mentioned in the following verses: Proverbs 8:13, Proverbs 16:18, Romans 12:16, 1 Corinthians 13:4, Galatians 6:3 and James 4:6-7.
We now see rainbow flags in public schools. But from where did the rainbow originate?
Genesis 9:13 (ESV) reads, “I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.”
The first rainbow was created by God after the great flood and first seen by Noah and his family. It remains a symbol of God’s hope that His people would not stray ever again from His Commandments.
“the token of the covenant which God made with Noah when he came forth from the ark that the waters should no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. The right interpretation of (Genesis 9:13) seems to be that God took the rainbow, which had hitherto been but a beautiful object shining in the heavens when the sun’s rays fell on falling rain, and consecrated it as the sign of his love and the witness of his promise. Ecclesiastes. 43:11.
The rainbow is a symbol of God’s faithfulness and mercy. The “rainbow around the throne” (Revelation 4:3 ) is seen as the symbol of hope and the bright emblem of mercy and love, all the more accurate as a symbol because it is reflected from the storm itself.”
Pride Month and the Rainbow Flag are an abomination to God/Allah.
Today it is important to understand that Pride and the Rainbow are being used not as “signs of love and the witness of His promise.”
Rather they are a demonic celebration of lust, pedophilia, perversion and pederasty which is a sexual relationship between an adult man and a boy.
Pride Month has all the marks of the seven deadly sins:
A proud look,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
A heart that devises wicked plans,
feet that are swift in running to evil,
A false witness who speaks lies,
and one who sows discord among brethren.
Sadly, many teachers, politicians, faith leaders, corporate CEOs, young people and adults have embraced Pride Month as the “new normal.”
"It's driven by excessive narcissism that their beliefs trump not just the free expression of others but even the lives of other humans."

The recent impeachment proceedings against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton have raised concerns about the fairness and impartiality of the process. This analysis aims to shed light on the allegations and underscore the potential bias and political motivations behind the impeachment effort. Examining the facts and considering the broader context before rushing to judgment is essential.
Questionable Testimony and Misinformation
The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) released a comprehensive report that refutes the incorrect testimony presented during the impeachment proceedings. This report directly challenges the basis of the allegations and highlights the inaccuracies, falsehoods, and misstatements made against Paxton. It is concerning that such flawed testimony formed the basis for the impeachment charges, casting doubt on the legitimacy of the process.
Politically Motivated Investigation
The General Investigating Committee’s investigation appears to have been politically motivated. The allegations against Paxton have been long-disproven and are rooted in hearsay and gossip. A thorough examination by the OAG itself refuted each of the former employees’ claims. Despite these findings, the decision to proceed with impeachment suggests an ulterior motive to tarnish Paxton’s reputation rather than pursue justice.
Exhaustive Report and Outside Investigation
The OAG’s exhaustive report released in August 2021 meticulously addressed the allegations made by former employees. Additionally, an outside law firm was retained to conduct further investigation into retaliation claims. This independent investigation resulted in a report documenting legitimate, non-retaliatory grounds for terminating the individuals involved. Acknowledging that this exonerating information was readily available but seemingly ignored by the committee investigators, indicating a lack of interest in the truth, is crucial.
Ignored Offer to Testify
Despite an official from the OAG being present at a hearing and offering to testify, the House General Investigating Committee deliberately chose to overlook this opportunity. This disregard for essential information and refusal to engage with the facts further reinforces the notion that the committee focused more on a predetermined outcome than on seeking the truth. This approach undermines the integrity of the entire impeachment process.
Political Retribution
Ken Paxton characterizes the impeachment as political retribution and such claims cannot be dismissed lightly. Paxton has been a solid conservative voice and an unwavering advocate for Texas voters. The timing and circumstances surrounding his impeachment raise questions about whether the motivation was to undermine conservative principles and silence a staunch opponent of the Biden administration’s policies.
Call for Judicial Review
Renowned Texas Senator Ted Cruz has highlighted the need for the courts to sort out the legal controversies surrounding Ken Paxton. Allowing the judicial system to play its rightful role ensures fairness and due process prevail. Rather than hastily jumping to conclusions, it is essential to let the legal system assess the validity of the allegations leveled against Paxton.
Conclusion
The impeachment proceedings against Ken Paxton have been fraught with questionable testimonies, a politically motivated investigation, ignored exonerating evidence, and a potential agenda of political retribution. It is crucial to consider these factors before passing judgment. The courts should play a vital role in evaluating the legal controversies surrounding Paxton, ensuring fairness and justice prevail. It is imperative to preserve the principles of due process and uphold the rights of all individuals, regardless of their political affiliations.
When the rest of the world lost its corporate marbles, conservatives liked to think that there was one place that would never let them down: Chick-fil-A. As far as they were concerned, the churchgoers’ chicken of choice had been solidly built on Truett Cathy’s strong family values. While other CEOs took their brands in wildly liberal directions, Christians took solace in the fact that at least one franchise could stand against the mob. Now, with the news that Chick-fil-A is catering to the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) crowd, customers feel deeply betrayed. But the reality is, the chicken empire’s capitulation started years before this.
Those of us who’ve watched Chick-fil-A up close know the company’s moral compromise didn’t happen overnight. For groups like Family Research Council, the bloom was off the nugget as far back as November of 2019 when, after years of holding the line, Chick-fil-A decided to put as much distance between Christians and their brand as possible.
To most people in the public square, the U-turn was completely unexpected. Chick-fil-A had already endured years of LGBT abuse, surviving movements to ban them from airports, rest stops, and college campuses. Despite the attacks, the Cathys didn’t just weather the storm, they thrived in it — doubling sales since the moment liberals decided it was a “controversy” to give to religious charities with biblical views.
Then, well into their heroic pushback — for no apparent reason — Chick-fil-A abruptly caved to the leftist pressure. In a punch to the gut of their loyal base, management announced that they were ending donations to faith-based groups like the Salvation Army and Fellowship of Christian Athletes because their positions on marriage and sexuality were too “controversial.” The defection cut deep for families, millions of whom had driven out of their way to support Chick-fil-A — not because the chicken was good, but because their conviction was better. Before there was a Donald Trump or a Ron DeSantis or a Brian Kemp, the Cathys had proven: you could stand on principle and win.
“If Chick-fil-A thinks that caving to PC pressure will help them grow as a company, they might want to check with the folks over at the Boy Scouts to see how well that strategy works,” Matt Walsh warned at the time. Governor Mike Huckabee was equally blunt. “Chick-fil-A made a huge mistake thinking they can appease these people,” he told Family Research Council President Tony Perkins, “because they can’t.”
Days later, another bombshell dropped. Not only had the company stopped giving to Christians, it was quietly funding radical abortion and LGBT activists in their place. News broke that the Chick-fil-A Foundation had funneled at least $230,000 to Covenant House, an organization that, among other things, hosts Drag Queen Story Hours. Conservatives were in disbelief — so much so that The Federalist felt the need to spell it out: “Yes, Chick-fil-A Really Is Funding a Group that Hosts Drag Queen Story Hours,” their headline read.
Turns out, that wasn’t the worst of it. Reporters dug into the business’s tax returns and found that the chicken chain had also gifted money to the extremists at Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) — the same leftist bullies that inspired a gunman to storm the headquarters of FRC with the intent to murder as many staffers as possible and, in a final act of defiance, smear Chick-fil-A sandwiches in our faces. The shooter, Floyd Corkins, told the FBI he’d picked FRC as a target from the Southern Poverty Law Center’s website. Ironically, his outrage was sparked by 2012’s Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day for the Cathys’ marriage stance, which our staff had publicly celebrated.
To us, the company’s departure from biblical truth was personal. The same family who insisted their corporate mission was “to glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us” had publicly disassociated from groups actually living up to that standard. It stung. Former employees, like FRC’s vice president for Communications, J.P. Duffy, were distraught. In a somber farewell to the chain in USA Today, Duffy wrote, “Chick-fil-A once inspired me to live out my values in the workplace. Those days are gone.”
Four years later, he says this latest treason is just par for the chain’s course. “Sadly,” Duffy told The Washington Stand, “I’ve come to expect this from Chick-fil-A, a corporation that has been moving Left for years. While they’ve kept their motto and their long-standing closed-on-Sundays policy, they’ve made a number of moves to appease the Left.” He cites the severing of ties with Christian charities and the partnerships with Covenant House and SPLC as proof that they aren’t the franchise Christians have come to know and love. “I’m not surprised that Chick-fil-A is promoting the left-wing DEI agenda espoused by SPLC and woke corporations. Chick-fil-A has drifted very far from its biblical roots.”
The fact that this fast-food favorite is now chasing the approval of the DEI crowd is just the fruit of their recent capitulation. The only surprise is that so many Christians have either ignored Chick-fil-A’s activism or lived in denial that it ever happened. Maybe they didn’t want to believe that the place where they felt at home, the place turned to for comfort in the cultural storm, betrayed them. It’s certainly a lot easier than the alternative, which is accepting and grieving the fact that this company — a brave holdout for so many years — has run away from the people and principles that made them who they are.
The Washington Stand is Family Research Council’s outlet for news and commentary from a biblical worldview. The Washington Stand is based in Washington, D.C. and is published by FRC, whose mission is to advance faith, family, and freedom in public policy and the culture from a biblical worldview. We invite you to stand with us by partnering with FRC.
