WARNING TO WEST VIRGINIA: The Invasion of America Continues!

As I suppose you know, I have been taking a break from blogging here at Frauds and Crooks.  I was doing the same at RRW until Biden blew up Afghanistan, so you might want to visit RRW to see what I have to say about adding tens of thousands of unvetted (you know they can’t vet them properly!) additional Muslim migrants to America.

Here is my most recent post there:

This is a report from an indefatigable watcher in West Virginia.  If only we had fifty or more Brendas willing to do their own investigations and reports.


THE INVASION OF AMERICA CONTINUES:  WARNING TO WEST VIRGINIA

In early July this year, I started receiving questions from several different people inquiring if I knew anything about 45 illegals being flown into the Yeager Airport in Charleston, West Virginia, from Arizona.   Knowing that our nation has been invaded (yes, invaded) for many years by illegals and so many government programs that allow foreign nationals to come to America and never leave, I was very interested in knowing the how, what, and when.  The “why” I knew.

Illegals from reportedly over 160 countries are coming at the open invitation of the assumed President of the United States, starting with the stolen election of November 3, 2020.    Recently, he has now invited the pregnant women of Central and Latin America to come have their babies in the United States.  That invitation extends to those women who are postpartum up to one year. The purpose of this is to grant them “Birthright Citizenship” which has been an enormous fraud perpetrated on the American people and designed to flood our nation with third world impoverished peoples from around the globe.

Besides the questions I had been receiving regarding the 45 illegals being flown into Charleston, I was also being told that there was an immigration office in Charleston.  For those familiar with Charleston, it is in Kanawha City.  One woman even told me that some people had knocked on her door one day looking for the immigration office.

By now I was determined to find out what I could about these matters.  I discovered that, yes, there is an immigration office in Charleston.  Having confirmed that, I decided to go there to observe the location and get any information I could.

When I arrived at the location on July 12, 2021, this picture displays what I saw.

I thought this hardly looks like an immigration office.  To my thinking, it looked like a jobs center.  At first, I hesitated to go to the door, but did so within a few minutes.  I am glad I did because as soon as I looked in the door I knew where I was.  A large sign inside said USCIS which stands for United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.  So much of the fraud being perpetrated on the American people is done in ways which deceive or obfuscate the truth.  Hence, an immigration center “poses” as an Application Support Center.  They are doing their nefarious deeds of undermining our Constitution and changing America “right under our noses”.  Hiding in plain sight, if you will.

Upon entering, I approached the reception counter.  I looked across the room where I saw a dark African-looking woman with long flowing skirts and a hijab, accompanied by a man appearing to be African, as well.  She was obviously muslim and very much out of place for the area.

The receptionist, who spoke with a distinct foreign accent, asked if she could help me.  I asked her if this was a jobs center to help people find employment.  She and another employee, standing by the reception counter, replied, “No, this is an immigration office.  We do biometrics here, and are processing 50 applications a day”.   I then replied that I had a friend who was looking for a job, and I thought I might be able to refer her to this office.  They said other people had made the same mistake.  Once again, they replied that this was an immigration office and asked how they could help me.

Now I was fully aware what I had encountered.  I was still trying to process the 50 applications a day comment.  I then asked if this was an immigration office, why didn’t the sign outside say so?   I further said that the sign is deceptive, to which they seemed to agree.

I asked if they had any information or brochures.  At that time, I saw pockets of brochures across the room, and went to get the ones in English.   Here are the titles of the brochures I picked up:

  1. I am a refugee or asylee — How do I show my employer that I am authorized to work in the United States?
  1. I am a nonimmigrant — How do I extend my nonimmigrant stay in the United States?
  1. USCIS Military Help Line — This flyer even tells them they can obtain information about posthumous citizenship for a deceased armed services member.

BTW–Did you know that non-citizens can join our military and use this as a “fast track” to citizenship?

  1. I am a Refugee or Asylee — How do I become a U.S. permanent resident?

Here is one of the websites listed:   www.welcometoUSA.gov

Here are a couple of paragraphs from this brochure:

Welcome to USA.gov, is a government website maintained by the USCIS. This website will help the new immigrants who look forward to settling in America, to find the required information. This website will also help the immigrants to obtain various government benefits.

Though all the immigrants are not eligible to receive benefits, this website boosts the new immigrants to apply for benefits such as Medicaid, Social Security, food stamps, Medicare, Supplemental Security Income and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. However, immigrants can obtain all the required information by checking out the website “Welcome to USA.gov ” and the guidebook offered by the USCIS and this will help them to settle in the country.

  1. Schedule your FREE appointment with USCIS using INFOPASS

From the outset our government tells those coming here how to access the various social services and benefits.

The goodies that are offered to those immigrating here were NOT available to your parents, grandparents, or relatives in bygone days.  This system has been set up to change the demographics of America, and boy, is it working!

While picking up the aforementioned brochures, the receptionist and another employee said that the immigration officer would see me.

Not being sure if I wanted to do this at the current time however, I looked around and saw a man standing in an office on the other side of the room.  He was motioning for me to come to his office.  Somewhat reluctantly I did so.  He asked how he could help me.  I repeated the same thing I told the receptionist, upon entering the building, that this appeared to be a jobs center.  He confirmed the same information that I had been previously given, that this is an immigration office.  They do biometrics, and they are processing 50 applications a day.

Below I have summarized the highlights of our conversation:

  1. They process 50 applications daily.
  2. He confirmed that all coming get a social security number and a 2-year temporary work permit.
  3. He confirmed that they get signed up for benefits.

4.. He and another employee said the office had been there since 2014.

  1. He said they are coming from “everywhere”.
  2. He said that they are processing for Columbus, OH, also.
  3. When asked where they are going, he said “everywhere”.
  4. He told me that the ICE officers are demoralized.  They can’t do their jobs.  After 30+ years between INS and ICE, he is retiring at the end of July.  He said he had it.  He’ s done.

9.. Biden administration has told them no one gets deported or detained.

  1. If an ICE officer stops a car of illegals, they have to release them.
  2. I told him that our nation is being invaded.  He agreed.
  3. I told him that I had heard that 45 people had been flown into Charleston airport.

He said he didn’t doubt it.

  1. He told me that they are being flown in, all over the country, under the cover of darkness, by the Biden administration.
  2. They couldn’t process applications for 4-5 months during COVID.
  3. Previously processed about 15 applications/day.
  4. I told him that the sign on the building was deceptive, since it did not indicate that this is an immigration office.  I further commented that if people knew this immigration office was here, they would be picketing outside.  He appeared to understand my meaning.

As I and others continue to investigate this and bring information to our fellow West Virginians, it is in your hands to demand accountability and transparency for what has too long been ignored by those in power.  The situation is dire for our beloved nation and our state.

The Media’s Favorite January 6th Conspiracy Theory Just Fell Apart

The FBI found little proof that the Jan. 6 Capitol riot was caused by a coordinated plan to upend the presidential election, four current and former law enforcement officials told Reuters.

The FBI does not believe that a “centr[al] coordinat[ion]” between far-right groups or supporters of then-President Donald Trump preempted the riot, according to Reuters. The sources either were directly involved in or routinely briefed on the investigations, Reuters said. 

However, the media had a different narrative after the Capitol riot occurred.

“A violent mob … stormed the U.S. Capitol … in a stunning attempt to overturn America’s presidential election,” an Associated Press (AP) article from January said. AP further wrote that the “events were particularly astounding … because of the underlying goal of overturning the results of a free and fair presidential election.” AP followed up with reporting that stated it was an organized plot. In March, a headline read, “US narrows in on organized extremists in Capitol siege probe.”

NBC wrote an article detailing how social media posts it found raised “questions” about the FBI’s position; at the time, the FBI had not yet determined “whether anyone planned the [Capitol] attack in advance.”

A Washington Post article from January claimed that an “FBI probe,” which included social media posts, amounted to “evidence detailing coordination of an assault.”

The position of the media was also reflected by Democrats.

Democratic Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse said, “This information … paints a clear picture of a planned and coordinated violent attack,” according to NBC News.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said about Jan 6. that “the evidence is that it was a well-planned, organized group with leadership and guidance and direction. And the direction was to go get people.”

Maxine Watters claimed that the Trump campaign was behind the attack. She said, “Where did the money come from to send busloads of people in? Who supported them in all of this? … I am told that there was organizing taking place right in the Trump campaign.”

However, former senior law enforcement official who spoke with Reuters said that most of the rioters were lone wolves who banded together.

The official said, “90-99% of these [were] one-off cases,” according to Reuters.

“Then you have 5%, maybe, of these militia groups that were more closely organized. But there was no grand scheme with Roger Stone and Alex Jones and all of these people to storm the Capitol and take hostages,” the official continued.

Both Jones and Stone participated in pro-Trump events in Washington, D.C., that occurred before the riot.

The FBI found that there was scant evidence that the rioters who broke into the Capitol had “serious plans” of what they would do within the building, sources further told Reuters.

Prosecutors filed conspiracy charges against 40 of the defendants, including a Proud Boy leader who allegedly recruited members and encouraged them to stockpile military-style equipment leading up to the Jan. 6 riot, according to Reuters.

Conservative Media Company Is The Fastest-Growing Advertising And Marketing Business In The US, According To Inc. 5000

  • Olympic Media, a conservative digital media company, is the fastest-growing private advertising business in the U.S., according to the 2021 Inc. 5000 list.
  • “What we’re building is … a pro-America, American exceptionalism-type brand that makes no apologies for anything,” and doesn’t buy into “what we consider woke nonsense,” Olympic Media Founder and CEO Ryan Coyne told the Daily Caller News Foundation on Thursday.
  • “Are some of these districts longer fights? Absolutely. But does that mean that they should go uncontested? Absolutely not,” Coyne said.

A conservative digital media company’s focus on the culture wars in America appears to be paying off, as it is the fastest-growing private advertising and marketing business in the U.S., according to the 2021 Inc. 5000 list released Tuesday.

“We focus on working with groups that are advocating for or otherwise advancing conservative causes or conservative beliefs,” Olympic Media Founder and CEO Ryan Coyne told the Daily Caller News Foundation on Thursday.

Olympic was founded in 2018 and has had many high-profile clients, such as Reps. Elise Stefanik, Jim Jordan, and Madison Cawthorn, Sen. Bill Hagerty and Turning Point USA.

The list ranks companies by their overall revenue growth over a three-year period, according to its website. Olympic ranked 13th overall with 20,330% growth.

Coyne attributed the success to the company’s “differentiated business model.” It takes a “zero risk approach, whereby we only are able to be successful financially if our clients are successful financially.”

He also praised the team they had put together, saying they are “extraordinarily dedicated to our clients and the causes they represent.”

“What we’re building is … a pro-America, American exceptionalism-type brand that makes no apologies for anything,” and doesn’t give in to “what we consider woke nonsense,” he told the DCNF.

Coyne considers 2020 to be the group’s first full election cycle it participated in and noted that they were able to “bring on a number of different, fairly little known clients and turn them into pretty much household names on the conservative side of things.”

He cited Cawthorn as an example, who fittingly claimed to have built his “staff around comms rather than legislation” in an email obtained by Time in January.

Kimberly Klacik, a Republican candidate for Maryland’s 7th Congressional District in 2020, also saw her profile rise due to a viral campaign ad that Olympic promoted. She ended up losing the heavily blue district’s seat by 43 points, however.

Klacik paid about $3.7 million of the $8.3 million she raised over the course of the campaign to Olympic, The Washington Post reported, but she later wrote that much of the price tag was due to Facebook and YouTube’s “ridiculous fees to advertise.”

Coyne said anyone arguing Olympic made that level of money from the race is either “a competitor, a moron, or a writer for the Washington Post.” He’s also confident the company has the ability to make inroads in bluer areas of the country, citing the wins of Democratic Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock in Georgia as examples.

“Democrats did an enormously … successful job going down there and flipping those seats. And it’s because they invested heavily and they worked hard in what were traditionally red areas,” he said. “Are some of these districts longer fights? Absolutely. But does that mean that they should go uncontested? Absolutely not.”

Regardless of the loss, Coyne noted Klacik now has a much larger platform than she previously did. She also remains a client of Olympic, according to the company.

Looking ahead to 2022, Coyne says his company will be “taking on wokeism head-on” and “unapologetic for American greatness.” The Make America Great Again message, he said, “still resonates deeply.”

DOJ Shuts Down Investigation Into Capitol Police Cold-Blooded Murder Of Unarmed Ashli Babbitt

Yesterday, the FBI admitted there was no coordinated attack/insurrection at the Capital in January 6th. So why was Babbitt murdered? And why is her murderer being given Democrat cover?

DOJ Shuts Down Investigation Into Capitol Police Shooting Of Ashli Babbitt

By Gabe Kaminsky, The Federalist,  20, 2021 :

Months after the Department of Justice (DOJ) opted not to charge the unnamed U.S. Capitol Police officer who killed Ashli Babbitt on Jan. 6, a memo obtained by NBC News indicates the investigation will be fully closed.

Babbitt, a 35-year-old Air Force veteran, was shot by the “service pistol” of an officer during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. She was trying to climb through a smashed glass door near the Speaker’s lobby. After receiving assistance from a Capitol Police emergency response team, Babbitt died at Washington Hospital Center.

The memo, written by the commander of the Capitol Police’s Office of Personal Responsibility, states that “no further action will be taken in this matter,” according to NBC. The information comes on the heels of the DOJ announcing in April that it would not levy charges against the officer.

“Specifically, the investigation revealed no evidence to establish that, at the time the officer fired a single shot at Ms. Babbitt, the officer did not reasonably believe that it was necessary to do so in self-defense or in defense of the Members of Congress and others evacuating the House Chamber,” the department said in a press release at the time.

Shortly after the DOJ’s decision in April, Babbitt’s family unveiled a $10 million lawsuit against the Capitol police. The suit was filed under the Federal Tort Claims Act, which permits compensation in the case of “a personal injury or death, caused by the negligent or wrongful act or omission of a Government employee while acting within the scope of his or her office or employment, under circumstances where the United States, if a private person, would be liable in accordance with the law of the place where the act or omission occurred.”

Two weeks ago, Babbitt’s mother criticized House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and California Sen. Dianne Feinstein for never getting back to her after reaching out. Babbitt served in the Middle East from 2004 to 2016 on multiple tours.

The Capitol Police did not immediately respond to The Federalist’s request for comment.

UNHINGED: Los Angeles Times On Larry Elder ‘The Black Face of White Supremacist’

One of the most vile hit pieces that we have seen from the mainstream media against someone who is not named Trump. This is how you know that the Left is in panic mode. They are attacking Larry Elder viciously. That is because they know that Larry Elder could take down Governor Newsom.

Los Angeles Times Column: Larry Elder “The Black Face of White Supremacist”

By New York Latest News, August 20, 2021

California recall candidate Larry Elder may be black, but as far as some progressives are concerned, he’s also a “white supremacist face.”

“Larry Elder is the black face of white supremacism. You have been warned,” the Los Angeles Times Friday column called the conservative Los Angeles radio host candidacy “an insult to blackness.”

Known as the “Sage from South Central,” referring to the neighborhood of Los Angeles, the few working class he grew up in, Elder responded quickly to the headline.

“To play a race card with your South Central brothers, you have to be really scared and desperate,” Elder tweeted.

Elder leads the Republican Recall Candidates’ field to replace Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom in a special election on September 14.

Columnist Erica D. Smith wrote that blacks are “not monolithic,” but said that “elders oppose all public policy ideas that blacks support to help blacks.”

“Whenever you put a black face on white supremacy, like Larry Elder, there are people who use it as an opportunity to deny white supremacy,” Black Lives Matter Los Angeles said. Co-founder Melina Abdullah said in an article.

Elder supports policies such as increased school choices, reduced regulations to promote housing construction, and crackdowns on crime, and police are not involved in systematic racism, but with such accusations. Police officers claim to have withdrawn.

As crime increased, “it’s the very black and brown people who claim that the people on the left care about it,” he told the Los Angeles Times editorial board…

Leftists in U.S. and UK Want Reparations Paid to the Taliban

My latest in PJ Media:

Richard Burgon, a member of the British Parliament for the far-Left Labour party and Secretary of the Socialist Campaign Group of Labour MPs, demonstrated Tuesday that the Left’s commitment to the redistribution of wealth is indefatigable: He declared that what the West really needs to do now is start forking over money to the Taliban. Burgon tweeted: “The crisis in Afghanistan is the result of 20 years of disastrous military intervention. Just as in Iraq & Libya, backing US-led invasions led to a huge loss of life. There is no military solution in Afghanistan. The focus now should be on reparations and supporting refugees.”

Yes, reparations. Paying reparations to Afghanistan would essentially mean funding the Taliban, which has a billion-dollar budget as it is and has no need of the largesse of British or American taxpayers. And Burgon is not alone. Britain’s far-Left Stop the War Coalition issued a statement Sunday demanding that the British government “take a lead in offering a refugee programme and reparations to rebuild Afghanistan, an act which would go a great deal further in advancing the rights of the Afghan people, women in particular, than continued military or economic intervention in the fate of the Afghanistan.”

The call for reparations to the Taliban has been heard on this side of the Atlantic as well. Shabana Mir, an associate professor at American Islamic College in Chicago, first implied that Afghanistan didn’t need any help from the West: “The Western savior narrative vis-a-vis Afghanistan is a framing of Afghanistan as in need of Western help, as dependent on Western help — rather than as a Western-exploited and Western-ravaged people and land.” Then, however, she added: “The U.S. owes s**tloads of reparations to Afghanistan.” The U.S. should have no say in how this money is used: “I have hopes that Afghans can build, if military contractors and the U.S. would get the hell out of the way.”

Meanwhile, far-Left Canadian “journalist” Paul Jay believes that “there must be significant reparations paid to the Afghan people to be administered by the U.N.” Another Leftist “journalist,” Spencer Ackerman, who was primarily responsible ten years ago for getting all mention of Islam and jihad removed from U.S. counterterror training, asked: “What do we owe the Afghan people? We owe them a life they can live, resettling them in the United States if they so choose, and we owe them reparations. Reparations is a charged word, and I do not use it here to suggest that reparations for the descendants of the enslaved ought to wait until we pay reparations for the War on Terror. I mean here that throughout history, the losers of wars have had to pay reparations, though typically to the regimes and not people. But it is people whom the U.S. owes, not regimes.”

There is more. Read the rest here.

LOOK OUT! President Trump’s Saturday Rally to Be Biggest of 2021

Watch President Trump from Alabama on Saturday. President Trump’s rallies keep us going in this incredibly bleak time. The link to the rally is below. #Trump2024!

The counter revolution begins. Join us and fight the illegitimate coup.

Trump’s Saturday Rally to Be Biggest of 2021

By Newsmax, August 20, 2021

Donald Trump will hold what is expected to be the largest rally of his post presidency  Saturday.

Newsmax has learned the event at York Family Farms in Cullman, Alabama, will feature Trump delivering his most damning indictment of the Biden administration to date.

“Trump will be exposing President Biden’s Afghanistan disaster,” a knowledgeable source told Newsmax.

The outdoor rally will be hosted by the Alabama Republican Party and begin at 7 p.m. ET, with a crowd of at least 50,000 Trump supporters expected to show.

The former president is scheduled to take the stage at 8 p.m. ET.

Newsmax will broadcast the Trump rally live to over 100 million U.S. television homes.

Cullman is in Alabama’s District 4, Trump’s best congressional district in the U.S. in 2016 and 2020.

“Donald Trump and the people of Alabama have a special relationship,” Alabama Republican Party Chairman John Wahl told WAFF-TV.

“The energy out there, the enthusiasm, just how much people are looking forward to this — that really helps me feed off of that energy and get the job done as we’re working on this day and night to make this happen.”

For the safety of those attending, the GOP will distribute free masks and hand sanitizer to whoever wants them, although the masks are not required to enter.

Trump held his first post-presidency rally June 26 at the Lorain County Fairgrounds in Wellington, Ohio.

He followed that with a rally July 3 at the Sarasota Fairgrounds in Sarasota, Florida.

A third rally was staged July 24, at the Federal Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona.

Security at Saturday’s event is expected to be ultra-tight with local and state law enforcement officers and Secret Service agents on hand to direct motorists.

There has been ongoing speculation Trump is preparing to announce he will seek to oust Biden from office in 2024 and will soon announce his candidacy for president.

Last week, Sean Spicer, Trump’s former White House communications director and co-host of Newsmax‘s “Spicer & Co.” predicted Trump will throw his hat in the ring.

Fox News has declined airing Trump’s rallies live with Newsmax being the only major cable news channel to cover them.

Fall of the Roman Republic & The Fall of America’s Constitutional Republic — History Repeats Itself

Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” – George Santayana

Internal turmoil provoked in 133 BC by economic stagnation in the city of Rome , slave revolts without, and dissension in the military precipitated a period of unrelenting political upheaval known as the Roman Revolution, the Late Roman Republic , or the Fall of the Republic, 133-27 BC.


Why Did The Roman Republic Fall?

Was it due to external circumstances (barbarian invasion, famine, plague, etc.) or to internal ones?

American must now take notice or be condemned to repeating history.

Douglass Jacoby in a podcast lists the following as symptoms of a “sick Roman society”:

  • Mounting love of show and luxury.
  • Widening gap between the very rich and the very poor.
  • An increased desire to live off of the state.
  • Freakishness in the arts, masquerading as originality.
  • Absorption in entertainment.
  • Obsession with sex.

I would add to this list the following:

  • Godlessness and paganism.
  • Worshiping oneself and not a higher spiritual calling.
  • The indoctrination of a societies youth to believe that communism is better than capitalism.
  • A loathing of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
  • Judging people by the color of their skin rather than the content of their characters.
  • An obsession with the occult.
  • And finally – The Covid pandemic.

Covid and the Fall of the U.S. Constitutional Republic

Covid has become the primary means by which the state has taken away the rights of the individual to choose. Logic and science have been supplanted with fear. The following dictates have lead inextricably to a tyrannical state:

  • Mask mandates.
  • Shutdown of businesses.
  • Vaccine mandates.
  • Vaccine passports.

Government restrictions, using Covid as the weapon of choice, have now become the new normal in America. Government control of individual liberty, using healthcare as a means to the end of freedom of choice, is the real deadly virus.

Covid is control writ large.

The siren song of big government is “we’re here to protect you and your health by imposing un-Constitutional mandates upon you, your family, your business and your individual liberties.” We are here to protect you from yourself.

Conclusion

What happened to the ideal my body my choice?

Choice is key to any society, particularly when it comes to the Bill of Rights and the U.S. Constitution.

Without the freedom of choice there is no republic. Choosing where one lives, how many children they have, where they go to school, the career they want, making decisions about their life, liberty and happiness are the bedrock of a free society.

Take any one of these choices away and you tear down the republic. It happened to Rome in 133-27 BC and it is happening right now in America in AD 2021.

I have lived thru four pandemics, including two under the Obama administration SARS and H1N1. Covid is a strain of SARS. I have never witnessed the massive media and government narratives designed to take away every American’s freedoms of choice. Never!

Prove me wrong.

Biden Tells Secretary Of Education To Use ‘Legal Actions’ Against Governors Banning Mask Mandates

DeSantis OBLITERATES Biden for Pushing Obsessive Mask Mandates while Afghanistan Falls.

In his recent address to the nation, President Biden did not focus on America’s humiliation in Afghanistan, or the humanitarian crisis at our Southern boarder. Instead, President Biden announced that he was directing the Secretary of Education to use ‘legal actions’ against Governor DeSantis, Governor Abbott, and others, who are banning mask mandates in schools. Biden then ran away after the speech, and refused to take any questions from the press. The Biden Administration is a total disaster. A nightmare.

The world is burning and Nero Joe is attacking American governors standing for American freedom.

Biden Tells Secretary Of Education To Use ‘Legal Actions’ Against Governors Banning Mask Mandates

By Daily Wire, August 18, 2021

President Joe Biden addressed the nation on the topic of the coronavirus on Wednesday, going a step further in his battle against specific Republican governors who have pushed back against mask mandates in schools.

Biden said, “For those who aren’t eligible for the vaccine yet — children under the age of 12 — masks are the best available protection for them and the adults around them. That’s why we need to make sure children are wearing masks in school.”

“Unfortunately, as we’ve seen throughout this pandemic, some politicians are trying to turn public safety measures — that is, children wearing masks in school — into political disputes for their own political gain. Some are even trying to take power away from local educators by banning masks in school. They’re setting a dangerous tone,” Biden added.

He went on to say, “Today, I am directing the Secretary of Education — an educator himself — to take additional steps to protect our children. This includes using all of his oversight authorities and legal actions, if appropriate, against governors who are trying to block and intimidate local school officials and educators.”

The Biden administration has been looking for ways to get further involved in states’ affairs, specifically taking aim at Florida and Texas where Republican Governors Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott, respectively, have signed executive orders banning mask mandates.

According to The Daily Wire, “Fox News  Saturday that U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona wrote a letter to DeSantis and Florida Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran informing them that the federal government would provide funds to school districts that defy the governor’s order and risk losing state funding.”

“Florida’s recent actions to block school districts from voluntarily adopting science-based strategies for preventing the spread of COVID-19 that are aligned with the guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) puts students and staff at risk,” Cardona wrote.

“We are eager to partner with [the Florida Department of Education] on any efforts to further our shared goals of protecting the health and safety of students and educators,” Cardona added. “If FLDOE does not wish to pursue such an approach, the Department will continue to work directly with the school districts and educators that serve Florida’s students.”

Cardona sent a similar letter to Republican Governor of Texas Greg Abbott, saying that the Department of Education “stands with” the educators who are “working to safely reopen schools and maintain safe in-person instruction.”

Abbott has been in a legal battle with local districts that wish to defy his executive order banning mask mandates and impose their own restrictions on regions and schools.

Governors across the country are continuing to take steps to give parents the ability to make decision about their children’s health.

Republican Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed an executive order Monday giving parents the ability to make decisions about whether their kids wear masks in schools.

He stated, “Right now, some of the greatest frustration is occurring in our K-12 schools, especially around the issue of mask mandates. While local decision-making is important, individual decision-making by a parent on issues regarding the health and well-being of their child is the most important.”

No one cares more about the health and well-being of a child than a parent. I am signing an executive order today that allows parents to opt their children out of a school mask mandate if either a school board or health board enacts one over a district,” he added.

His executive order says, “a student’s parent or guardian shall have the right to opt out of any order or requirement for a student in kindergarten through twelfth-grade to wear a face covering at school, on a school bus, or at school functions, by affirmatively notifying in writing the local education agency or personnel at the student’s school.”

VIDEO: The Gavin Newsom Recall Vote in California is Already Fraught With Fraud

The Gavin Newsom recall vote in California is on September 14th and it is already fraught with fraud.

Friends report that registered Republicans received their mail-in ballots more than two weeks after the Democrats did.

The first video shows us the recall mail-in ballots and how the box one would fill in to vote “YES” to recall Governor Newsom aligns perfectly with a hole cut into the envelope, so that a casual onlooker – or a mail sorting machine – would be able to see your vote through the closed envelope and toss your ballot out, as was done with thousands of Trump votes in 2020.

Jovan Pulitzer shared the second video that shows two women standing in front of an apartment building’s mail boxes and able to open all of them with a master key, from which they remove all of the main-in ballots.

The Intentional Destruction of America’s Cities

What it looks like when a great nation commits suicide. Our Decaying Civilization.


Last week, I received an email from a friend. As a former U.S. Army intelligence officer during the Cold War, he carried out clandestine collection operations for the Defense Intelligence Agency in Germany, and later worked as an international war correspondent for the Associated Press. He’s served on numerous corporate boards and is a military historian and lecturer. The email from him was to let me know that he’d just posted this on Facebook:

I have been in Denver for the past few days. I can tell you this once great and once beautiful city has become a leftist cesspool. With a Democrat mayor and governor, what else can you expect? Drug fueled tent encampments are all over the city with a major one just below the Capitol. Lots of graffiti and hateful anti-Trump racist Black Lives Matter slogans. Major government buildings are fenced off to prevent people from getting on the grounds or to prevent workers from being attacked. Driving around, my main impression is this is a decaying civilization. If you are not strong enough to defend it from the barbarians, you are bound to lose it.

The rapidly decaying civilization my friend observed in Denver is nationwide in scope, and has been in a state of inexorable decline long before the recent race riots destroyed large sections of more than 140 U.S. cities, including the one where I live, Atlanta.

When I was a student at Georgia Tech in the mid-1960s, Atlanta was a clean, safe and truly beautiful city. Then along came a well-intended, but horribly misguided, war: the war on poverty.

Over the intervening half-century, Atlanta, like Denver, became an unsafe eyesore marked by urban blight, vagrants defecating on public sidewalks, boarded-up houses, vacant lots, abandoned buildings, rat-infested public housing, gang graffiti, inexcusably sorry schools, generational poverty and, of course, the inevitable offshoot of such wretched living conditions: chronic despair endured by millions of disadvantaged people in America’s rundown inner cities, crime infested urban war zones entirely unfit for human habitation.

After the bulk of $22 trillion in anti-poverty funding was siphoned off by blue state and blue city elected officials to expand their political empires with money intended to help lift the black underclass, urban America is in worse shape than ever, a humiliating national tragedy by any measure.

What happened to Atlanta and Denver also happened to virtually every Democrat-run city in America.

I do not say that as a partisan swipe. I say it because it is true. Decades of progressive rule has bred a snake’s nest of dysfunctional cities: Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Minneapolis, Detroit, Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Charlotte, Cleveland, Baltimore, Newark, New York City, the nation’s capitol, and on and on and on.

  • Dysfunctional cities where mayors do fist-pumps as Americans taught to hate their country burn U.S. flags and tear down statues of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant and Francis Scott Key, composer of the National Anthem.
  • Dysfunctional cities where mayors order police departments to stand down to clear the way for rioting and looting carried out by violent Marxist revolutionaries hiding behind the noble cause of racial justice.
  • Dysfunctional cities where mayors look the other way as masked anarchists attack police with guns, knives, two-by-fours, metal pipes, explosives spiked with nails, smoke bombs, rocks, bricks, bottles of frozen water, spray paint, bleach, spit and who knows what else. Federal agents sent to Portland to prevent destruction of a U.S. District Court may have beenpermanently blinded by anarchists who beamed laser light at their eyes. Please click here to see a sampling of the raging anarchy that’s been going on in Portland for nearly ten straight weeks, all while the city’s Democrat mayor and the state’s Democrat governor watched as portions of the city were methodically reduced to burned-out rubble.
  • Dysfunctional cities where mayors give a wink and a nod to rioting and looting in rare instances when police wrongfully kill a black person, but remain stone silent as black on black homicides in the cities they run leave thousands of African Americans dead each year, including dozens of young black children caught in the crossfire. Althoughnearly 450 people—450!—have been murdered in Chicago so far this year, the city’s Democrat mayor mockingly rebuffed President Trump’s offer to send federal law enforcement officers to help quell the carnage. Only after 15 people were recently shot outside a Chicago funeral home did she appear to begrudgingly change her mind.
  • Dysfunctional cities where mayors refuse to enforce their nation’s immigration laws, and now demand that big chunks of police department budgets be handed over to them so they will have even more money with which to further entrench the uninterrupted Democrat rule that bears sole responsibility for having run urban America into the ground.

A great country committing suicide, city by city by city. What a shame.

To understand how thoroughly Democrats have unilaterally decimated America’s once-thriving cities, check out the video below to see what four Chicago ex-offenders had to say in 2014, when President Obama was still in office.

BRUTALITY: Harrowing Images Show Barbaric Taliban Imposing Islamic Law

Islamic rule. Or as Biden clown show says, “inclusive.”

Democrat say, “Respect it, islamophobes!”

Watch the Biden clown show:

‘Taliban is coming’ Crying Afghan woman pleads for help from US troops

Distressing images show the barbaric reality in Afghanistan after the Taliban seized control of the country, with women and children covered in blood and militants patrolling streets with rocket launchers — all despite the Taliban’s promise of a more peaceful regime.

Shocking scenes captured across Afghanistan on Tuesday — the day the Taliban’s longtime spokesman promised peace and an “inclusive, Islamic government” — showed militant mobs instead firing high-powered weapons in the air and randomly beating passersby.

Video footage shared on social media also shows groups of people being corralled by armed groups, some carrying what appear to be rocket launchers while others patrol on rooftops.

In one image taken by the Los Angeles Times, a woman is seen apparently unconscious on the ground near Kabul Airport with blood over her head and hands, while a young boy is carried with his hair completely soaked in blood.

The child was completely limp, with his eyes rolling back in his head, the paper’s photojournalist, Marcus Yam, recalled.

PODCAST: Biden Fiddled While America Burned

Two more significant snafus emerged from the Biden administration last week: begging to OPEC for gasoline, and the fall of Afghanistan. Both events have shaken the credibility of the administration in the eyes of not just the Republicans, but of the Democrats as well. It is like when the country heard the legendary call from Apollo 13, “Houston, we’ve had a problem here.” Americans saw it the same way this past week, which has shaken our confidence in the president and the country overall.

First came President Biden’s call to the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to increase production in order to offset spiraling inflation in the United States. OPEC refused as they saw no reason to increase more oil than what they currently produce.

In response to the president’s call, Texas Governor Greg Abbott, along with notable oil producers from his state, claimed Texas was ready and able to increase production provided the Biden administration “just stay out of the way,” meaning lifting the operating burdens imposed by the president.

Keep in mind, these regulations were implemented as an attempt to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels and polluting our environment. This means the Biden administration believes the Middle East can do a more responsible job in this regard. Huh? Their policy also means he would rather take jobs away from Americans and transfer them to the OPEC countries. I guess the Biden administration wants the energy resources, but doesn’t want to get their hands dirty.

Over the last few years, we finally achieved energy independence and was actually selling gas and oil to other countries, but this all came to a screeching halt this year. By being independent, it was no longer necessary to become immersed in Middle Eastern entanglements as policemen, thereby saving American lives. By forcing Mid-East states to cooperate as opposed to depending on the United States also encourages peace treaties, such as those between Israel, the UAE, Bahrain, and the Sudan. Imagine; peace in the Middle East. Who-da-thunk-it.

Next we come to the fall of Afghanistan, which seemed to crumble at warp speed before our eyes, making the fall of Viet Nam look like an orderly fire drill. I have veteran friends who feel disgraced by how the president handled the collapse. The scenes of people trying to flee the Kabul capital at the airport was reminiscent of the opening scene from the movie “Lost Horizon.”

By abandoning Afghanistan, the president has created a Jihadist state. The Taliban released ISIS and Taliban fighters from Afghan jails who will naturally join their army. More than this, Afghanistan is now the go-to place for frustrated Middle East terrorists to re-group and start again.

Because there wasn’t an exit strategy, the Taliban seized American munitions and equipment, such as a fleet of Blackhawk helicopters. They may not have anyone to fly them yet, but they can sell them to the highest bidder, such as China who would like to study their strengths and weaknesses.

The atrocities being performed by the Taliban, particularly to women and children, is offensive to everyone. Knowing this would likely happen, why wasn’t there a plan to shelter the helpless?

In hindsight, I believe nation building is wrong for third world countries like Afghanistan. These are primitive people who have lived under autocratic rule for thousands of years. They simply couldn’t handle the concept of living as a republic. No wonder the Afghan leaders fled the country.

Most likely, we will have to fight the Taliban again sometime down the road.

My veteran friends claim the fear now is that America is viewed as impotent militarily and politically. We no longer have the wherewithal to get things done. Further, such actions will encourage the Chinese to try something, such as taking over Taiwan.

The fact President Biden was resting in Camp David, while Afghanistan was savaged, did not sit well with the American people. Afterwards, when he finally spoke up, he claimed nothing was wrong and the chaos was to be expected. Even the News Media didn’t buy this one.

Between illegal immigration, oil production, and Afghanistan, we look rather silly right now. As for President Biden, his credibility is shot, along with his ability to lead. Nobody in the international community will take him seriously, including Americans, there was simply too many missed queues along the way.

As my veteran friends say, these are dark days.

Keep the Faith!
