Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) pressed FBI Assistant Director for the Cyber Division Bryan Vorndran in a Tuesday committee meeting on whether the laptop created cyber vulnerabilities for the country. After Vorndran stone walled Rep. Gaetz the Congressman announced that he had uploaded to contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop into the Congressional Record.
Moments ago, I successfully entered the hard drive of Hunter Biden’s laptop into the Congressional Record.

Rep. Gaetz, “What now you’re telling me right here is that as the Assistant Director of FBI Cyber, you don’t know where this is, after it was turned over to you three years ago?”
Gaetz announced he would introduce legislation, called the “Spook Who Cried Wolf Resolution,” to indefinitely bar security clearances for 51 former U.S. intelligence officials who signed what he called “a letter decrying the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop as Russian disinformation.”

Earlier this year and to the delight of parents everywhere, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the state legislature passed the “Parental Rights in Education Bill,” which prohibits public schools from indoctrinating children grades K-3 with pro-gay, pro-transgender propaganda.
Disney CEO Bob Chapek initially said his company would not take sides in the controversy. Then came the loud, expected rhetoric from the rabid LGBTQ left, with their nasty accusations that Disney was anti-gay and hateful for not vocally opposing the law.
Again, the Florida law is simply designed to protect the youngest grade-school children from being taught lies, such as their birth gender might possibly be a freak of nature and that they can change it.
As a result, Disney quickly abandoned its neutral position for one of total surrender. Chapek apologized to his employees in a letter, telling them, “You needed me to be a stronger ally in the fight for equal rights and I let you down. I am sorry.”
As a result, and to the delight of homosexual activists everywhere, Disney has announced it will restore a previously cut lesbian kissing scene in its June Pixar release of the kid’s movie “Lightyear.”
Disney doesn’t think you will care, nor does it think Christian parents and grandparents will take a stand for their children and grandchildren. I think you will.
TAKE ACTION
I encourage you to join with me and other parents in telling Disney you’re not buying what they are selling.

The pattern here is clear. Americans are fleeing highly-regulated, highly taxed areas and flocking to freer states.
America’s largest metro areas saw massive declines in population, new US Census Bureau data show.
Three of the top five metros that saw sharp declines between July 1, 2020, and July 1, 2021 were in California. Leading the way was the Los Angeles-Long Beach metropolitan area, which lost 176,000 residents, a 1.3 percent drop. Next was the San Francisco-Oakland-Berkeley metro, which saw a decline of 116,000 residents (2.5 percent decline), followed by San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, which shed some 43,000 residents (2.2 percent drop).
“We are in this new demographic era for California of very slow or maybe even negative growth,” Hans Johnson, a demographer with the Public Policy Institute of California, told the Los Angeles Times. “And it does have implications for everything in our state — from how we live our lives to which schools are getting closed down to how much capacity we might need for transportation networks, and eventually to housing.”
California metros had company, however.
The New York-Newark-New Jersey metropolitan area saw a decline of 328,000 residents, the highest in the nation in raw numbers. The Chicago area, meanwhile, saw a decline of some 92,000 residents.
When people talk about "the Great Reset," I'm not sure this is what they had in mind. pic.twitter.com/1xv1bpKIkm
The reasons people choose to migrate are complex and varied. The Times points out that many people who left California were seeking job opportunities and affordable housing, citing the skyrocketing costs of homes in the Golden State because of NIMBYism and other regulations. Other articles point out that harsh lockdowns drove many young people out of cities during the pandemic. And then there is the rise of remote work, which has allowed many workers to leave metropolitan areas without losing their job.
Jena Lords and her husband were among the 262,000 California residents who gave up on the state. She and her husband had talked about leaving Bakersfield for years before finally pulling the trigger in early 2021 for a variety of reasons.
“The top reason was 2nd Amendment rights,” Lords, 39, told the Times. “There’s also the high cost of living, tax fees, regulations.”
After living for months in an RV, the couple eventually purchased a $140,000 home on a half-acre of land in Idaho, about one hour south of Idaho Falls.
“The hardest thing was leaving our friends and family — and the beach, of course,” Lords said. “It’s amazing, the difference in culture. It’s a real small-town feel.”
Voting With Your Feet
Again, the reasons people choose to migrate tend to be complex and varied, as the Lords’ story shows. However, we can see the US flight from its largest metropolitan is part of a bigger trend.
North American Van Lines (NAVL), a trucking company based in Indiana, puts out an annual report that tracks migration patterns in the United States. The states with the most inbound migration in 2021 were South Carolina, Idaho, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Florida. The leading outbound states were Illinois, California, New Jersey, Michigan, and New York.
The pattern here is clear. Americans are fleeing highly-regulated, highly taxed states. They are flocking to freer states.
“States with a lower cost of living and lower taxes continued to pull Americans from more expensive states in 2021,” the report authors state. “With a major shift toward remote work for several occupations, along with continually rising housing costs, people are rapidly moving from the coasts and Midwest to the South and Southwest.”
This is one of the great strengths of the American system. In his book, Free to Move legal scholar Ilya Somin argues that one of the reasons the United States is in crisis is that citizens can no longer keep track of all the activities governments perform, as politicians and bureaucrats serve narrow interest groups.
Unfortunately, Somin points out that changing this culture is difficult. The reality is, citizens have very little power to change government through the ballot box; the odds of a voter changing the outcome of an election with a ballot are astronomically low, even in most state and local elections. Things, however, are much different when citizens “vote with their feet.”
“When you decide what jurisdiction to live in, that’s a decision over which you have real control,” Somin pointed out. “That in turn creates strong incentives to seek out relevant information and evaluate it in an unbiased way. You wouldn’t move to a new neighborhood, let alone a new state, without knowing what it’s like.”
Americans are making conscious, deliberate decisions to abandon metropolitan areas that are increasingly expensive, confiscatory, and in some cases increasingly violent, filthy, and dysfunctional.
We heard a great deal about “the Great Reset” during the pandemic. It may be that the reset is something much different than the people using that phrase had in mind.
It may be that “the reset” involves Americans abandoning high-tax, high-regulatory cities and states for freer ones. That’s a reset Americans should welcome.

On May 30, 2021, Mashayekh tweeted: “anyways yel3an el yahood [curse the Jews].”
On June 3, 2021, Mashayekh tweeted: “It’s my little sisters first day of first grade and I asked her what she learned today and she said “yel3an el yahood [Curse the Jews]” nah where was this curriculum when i was in school …”
The U.S. State Department adopted the IHRA’s working definition of anti-Semitism in 2016. Twenty-eight European countries, as well as Canada, Australia, Israel and Argentina, have also adopted the definition.
Violent Hatred of Zionists
On October 25, 2021, Mashayekh tweeted: “Oh no how horrifying that I want to kill my colonizer!!” Mashayekh’s tweet was in response to a Canary Mission tweet that read: “It is HORRIFYING that the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Senator from @USCViterbi Yasmeen Mashayekh tweeted: ‘I want to kill every motherf**king zionist.’”
On May 9, 2021, Mashayekh tweeted: “I want to kill every motherf**king zionist.”
On May 11, 2021, Mashayekh tweeted: “Palestinian youth set settlers on fire in Haifa.” Mashayekh’s tweet included a video of the incident featuring superimposed Arabic text that read: “A Jew’s head was set ablaze in Haifa a while ago. Long live the heroes’ arms.”
On May 11, 2021, during Israel’s “Operation Guardian of the Walls(OGW)” against Hamas in Gaza, violent Arab riots broke out in Haifa and Lod, Israeli cities with large Arab populations. The rioters in Haifa reportedly “threw rocks, launched fireworks, and hurled bottles at the various demonstrations,” according to police. They also burned trash cans.
On May 12, 2021, a Twitter user responded to her tweet and wrote: “They should’ve filled it with gas and lit them zionists up” to which Mashayekh replied: “LMFAOOOOOO [Laughing my f**king a** off] THEY DID THOUGH.”
Ownership claims to lands in Silwan, a Palestinian-dominated community in East Jerusalem, have been hotly contested as many Jews and Palestinians possess conflicting deeds to the same properties, with Jews holding deeds that pre-date those held by Palestinians.Jews who have attempted to reclaim their properties and move into Silwan have been frequently met with Palestinian violence.
Mashayekh retweeted a June 27, 2021 tweet that read: “When we say free Palestine we mean ALL OF PALESTINE! We want all of 48 back.”
On June 21, 2021, Mashayekh tweeted: “If you are not for the complete destruction of Israel and the occupation forces then you’re anti-Palestinian.”
On May 8, 2021, Mashayekh tweeted: “Yes I f**king love hamas now stfu [shut the f**k up].”
Hamas is a designated terrorist organizationby the United States, the European Union, Britain, Canada, Australia, Japan and Israel. Since the 1990s, Hamas has been carrying out suicide bombings and rocket attacks against civilian targets, wounding and killing thousands of Israelis.
On May 13, 2021, Mashayekh tweeted: “We ask everyone to stop filming/sharing footage of the firing of rockets towards the Zionist state because it will negatively affect our resistance. Not sharing will stop [Israel’s] ability to pinpoint where the rockets are being fired from. We are all responsible.”
On May 29, 2021, Mashayekh tweeted a photo of a Hamas militant walking alongside a child with his arm perched on the child’s shoulder and captioned it: “I love this picture so much.”
Hamas’s founding charter called for the murder of Jews, while the terror group’s “summer camps” have taught children how to wage war.
On June 25, 2021, Mashayekh tweeted: “I thirst over NOBODY except Abu Obaida ofc [of course].”
The tweet included a photo of a physical copy of the terrorist organization, the PFLP’s, official manifesto, Strategy for the Liberation of Palestine, that she had received from anti-Israel activist Shatha Ayman.
The U.S. State Department has listed the PFLP as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO) since 1997, given its history of attacks against civilians, airplane hijackings and suicide bombings. In 2014, two PFLP terrorists murdered five Jewish men in prayer and one Druze police officer in a Jerusalem synagogue with an ax and gun.
The group’s manifesto lists [p.4-10] the PFLP’s enemies as Israel, “World Zionist Movement,” the U.S. and “World Imperialism” and claims [p.62] that the liberation of Palestine cannot be achieved “except through armed struggle and a protracted popular liberation war.”
On September 23, 2020, Mashayekh posted a renowned photo of Leila Khaled to Instagram and captioned it: “LEILA KHALED: PALESTINIAN LIBERATION ICON.”
Khaled has said that the second intifada failed because it was not violent enough, advocated for the use of children in terror activities and compared Zionists to Nazis.
Mashayekh retweeted a June 29, 2021 tweet from the PYM that read: “KHADER ADNAN ENDS 25-DAY HUNGER STRIKE AND IS FREE! Palestinian political prisoner, Khader Adnan, ends his historic 25-day Hunger Strike & is free from Zionist detention after his abduction from a checkpoint near Nablus on May 30th.FREE ALL OUR POLITICAL PRISONERS! .”
Khader Adnan is a senior member of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorist organization. A 2007 YouTube video showed Adnan praising and encouraging suicide bombings: “Who among you will carry the next explosive belt? Who among you will fire the next bullets? Who among you will have his body parts blown all over?”
Mashayekh retweeted a July 4, 2021 tweet that read: “Ooooof free Yasmine [Jaber]! Israel jails East Jerusalem woman for aiding Lebanon’s Hezbollah.”
Yasmine Jaber was reportedly recruited by “Hezbollah operatives at a conference in 2015 and asked to recruit others in east Jerusalem.… and communicated with them via social media.” An Israeli court reportedly sentenced Jaber to 30 months in prison, probation and a fine in a plea bargain, after Jaber acknowledged aiding Hezbollah over several years.
Promoting Incitement
On May 11, 2021, during Israel’s OGW in Gaza, Mashayekh tweeted: “LONG LIVE THE INTIFADA.”
Since the early 2000’s, the term “intifada” has carried the connotation of violence.
On May 7-10, 2021, violent clashes broke out between Palestinian worshippers and Israeli police at the Al Aqsa compound, following claims the Al Aqsa mosque was in danger.
The allegation that Jews “threaten” to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque has been a traditional pretext for Arab attacks on Jews long before the existence of the modern Jewish state.
Mashayekh retweeted a June 24, 2021 tweet that read: “#photo Israeli settlers stormed the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque this morning, protected by the occupation forces.”
Demonizing Israel
On June 27, 2021, Mashayekh tweeted: “oppose occupation oppose apartheid oppose colonialism oppose ethnic cleansing #SaveSilwan.”
On June 26, 2021, Mashayekh tweeted: “Israel has no history, just a criminal record.”
In 2017, JVP launched the “Deadly Exchange” campaign that accused American Jewish organizations of promoting human rights abuses. JVP also released a video that blamed [00:04:04] U.S.-based Jewish organizations for violence that occurs against Black and Brown communities, immigrants and activists in the U.S.”
Endorsing an Anti-Israel Agitator
Mashayekh retweeted a June 26, 2021 tweet by anti-Israel agitator Mohammed El-Kurd that read: “Israeli terrorist forces arresting people left and right in Sheikh Jarrah, making our families’ lives a living hell… sick of these fascists #SaveSheikhJarrah.”
In May 2021, Palestinian violence erupted in anticipation of an Israel High Court ruling on eviction proceedings concerning over 70 Palestinian tenants illegally residing in Jewish-owned properties in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah.
El-Kurd was one of the Palestinian tenants whose family was illegally residing in Jewish-owned properties in Sheikh Jarrah. In May 2021, El-Kurd returned from the United States to his family home, following a February 16, 2021 Israeli District Court ruling to evict over 70 Palestinian tenants.
Mashayekh retweeted a June 21, 2021 tweet from El-Kurd that read: “Israeli occupation soldiers are rabid terrorists.”
Anti-Israel Activism
On June 9, 2021, Mashayekh tweeted: “Thank you everyone who placed an order! 100% of profits have been donated to PCRF [Palestine Children’s Relief Fund]. Please please please continue to support us by spreading awareness.”
On May 12, 2021, Mashayekh tweeted: “HI!!! I HAVE SOMETHING TO PROMOTE! PLEASE FOLLOW @palyouthmvmt FOR UPDATES FROM PALESTINE AND INFORMATION REGARDING PROTESTS AND SUCH ❤️.”
On May 8, 2021, Mashayekh promoted to Twitter a May 15, 2021 “LA RALLY & PROTEST” titled “Nakba 73 – Resistance Until Liberation Rally.”
Nakba is generally translated as “catastrophe” in Arabic, referring to the outcome of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. It is a term often used to delegitimize the creation of the State of Israel by defining it as a catastrophe.
Mashayekh shared the event flyer to Twitter and captioned it: “LOS ANGELES!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Also, on May 8, 2021, Mashayekh promoted another May 15, 2021 “RALLY & PROTEST” in Houston. The event was titled “Nakba 73: We Will Return” and was co-organized by the PYM. Mashayekh captioned the post: “HOUSTON !!!!!!!!!!!”
Supporting BDS
Mashayekh retweeted a June 29, 2021 tweet that read: “Also now more than ever it’s SO IMPORTANT to boycott boycott BOYCOTT… #SaveSilwan.”
On June 8, 2021, Mashayekh responded to a tweet and wrote: “This is what I use but you might wanna double check if it’s bds friendly .”
Mashayekh retweeted a June 6, 2021 tweet that read: “boycott zionist twitter. i dont wanna see anyone engage anymore.”
BDS
The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement was founded by Omar Barghouti in 2005 as an allegedly “Palestinian-led movement” to challenge “international support for Israeli apartheid and settler-colonialism.”
In 2015, Barghouti was quoted saying that “BDS aims to turn Israel into a pariah state, as South Africa once was, and to isolate its regime of oppression in order to achieve our UN-stipulated rights.”
The movement has been linked to numerous terrorist organizations and received a public endorsement from Hamas.
BDS initiatives include calling on institutions and individuals to divest from Israeli-affiliated companies, promoting academic and cultural boycotts of Israel and anti-Israel rallies and protests.
The movement’s most notable achievement has been the infiltration of university campuses through lobbying for “BDS resolutions.” In these cases, student governments, backed by anti-Israel affiliates, have proposed resolutions on some form of boycott of — or divestment from — Israel and Israeli-affiliated entities.
These boycott resolutions, although non-binding, have been passed by student governments on numerous North American campuses.
BDS activity is often aggressive and disruptive. It has been noted that universities that pass BDS resolutions see a marked increase in anti-Semitic incidents on campus. In 2013, when the student government of the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB) debated a BDS resolution, reports emerged of violent threats and the spitting on a student wearing a Star of David necklace.
“We ask everyone to stop filming/sharing footage of the firing of rockets towards the Zionist state because it will negatively affect our resistance.” Yasmeen Mashayekh, Twitter, May 13 2021
I hope today finds you in good spirits. It sure has been busy the last few days, news wise, that is. I’m sure it has been non-stop at your desk as the Executive Editor of The New York Times.
I would like to mainly focus on the historic trip overseas by the installed POTUS, Joey Obiden, also know as Brandon to those in his inner circle. What a powerful orator little Joey is. I, like you Deano, was left speechless after this modern day Winston Churchill mesmerized the masses with his clear and eloquent messaging. As usual Deano, those fanatics on the radical right have an entirely different point of view. They are saying the installed puppet is a perpetual gaffe machine, inching us closer to WWIII with his moronic ad-libbed gibberish. Let’s take a look, Mr. Dean Baquet.
Leading From the Rear
Conservatives say, it seems the Harris administration was getting tired of hearing that the United States, namely Joey Talibiden, was leading the effort against Russia from behind. You know, holding press conferences late in the day (not too late, don’t want to interfere with his watching of Matlock and Judge Judy); this of course, was after his handlers spoke to world leaders earlier in the day, so Joey could follow their strategy. Well, enough was enough, Brandon was heading over to Europe to head up the NATO alliance to combat Vladimir Putin and his reign of terror.
Brussels Gaffes
While in Brussels, Joey kept us up to speed, saying due to the sanctions imposed that the food shortages are, “gonna be real”. Like a true leader, he didn’t mince words, he let Americans know what they are in for.
Until……….the next day, Jen Goebbels Psaki during her usual clean up presser said, “we are not expecting a food shortage at home.” Ok, so, swing and a miss for ole Joey Robinette.
Speaking of sanctions, when Lying Biden was asked about them deterring Putin, he became quite indignant! Some attribute it to him sundowning, as he was without his normal 2 four-hour daily naps. He fired back, “I did not say that, sanctions never deter.” Ok Joey, ok, take it easy, simmer down now. Behave, or “Dr.” Jill won’t let you ride your big wheel after the press conference.
The problem here again Deano, is a few of Joey’s inner circle said the complete opposite: Jake Sullivan, National Security advisor, who said, “the President believes the sanctions are intended to deter.” The same explanation was given by Antony Blinken, Jen Goebbels Psaki, and even installed VP, Heels up Harris-who took time out from her hectic schedule of pastry sampling and cookware acquisitions.
So Deano who is fibbing here, little Joey Robinette or the rest of his administration? Most conservatives point to Joey, as they say habitual lying is in fact, the only thing he is proficient at. President Trump is a racist!
On to Poland
Here is where the installed POTUS really shined. While speaking in a barely audible tone to troops, and walking aimlessly in circles (another no nap day), Joey told U.S. troops: “you will be seeing the bravery of the Ukraine people, when you get there.” Is Joey planning on sending troops to the Ukraine, Deano?
Nope, nope, White House officials cleaned that one up right away, saying, “the president has been clear that we will not be sending U.S. troops to Ukraine.” Yeah, but he just said…………”sorry, no more questions.” Then Joey proceeded to have a choking fit on some pizza, with the troops. This isn’t his fault though, “Dr.” Jill usually puts his in a blender first.
Though his real shining moment was his farewell speech. This is where Joey took off the gloves with his masterful orating skills. Here, he finished mumbling his way through his usual teleprompter speech, when he apparently had one of his classic (never underestimate Joe’s ability to F*** things up-Barack Hussein) ad-lib moments. After referring to Putin as a “butcher,” Joey finished with, “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power.” That’s it Joey Bidenflation, you tell ole Vlad who is really in charge here. Bravo Joey!
Well, not so fast there Deano. Even though, your esteemed paper ran a front page piece, praising Joey saying, “In a fiery speech, Biden condemns Putin”; the White House within hours was backtracking this historic statement….hours! They said, Joey was NOT looking for a regime change at all……but, didn’t he just say…? What gives Deano?
Ask Joey
Hey, so let’s solve this once and for all. Let’s go to the horses behind, I mean mouth, and ask him. When coming out of church the very next day (without the other self proclaimed good Catholic, “Dr.” Jill, shame, shame “Dr.” Jill, and during Lent, too), a reporter shouted to Mr. installed president, “if his remarks in Poland, were calling for Putin to be removed.” He replied, ‘’no!” He was then ushered into the motorcade faster then when elected President Reagan was shot. Secret Service have been specifically trained with Joey, to move him inside fast as possible at the hint of a question.
So Which is it?
You see the quandary here Deano old sport. I mean, you guys, CNN, MSNBC, WAPO, were praising Joey, for his strong stance. But his entire administration vehemently denies this is what he meant. Heck, even Joey Talibiden is now denying that he said it! Is it possible that ole Joe suffers from a split personality, that he is possibly schizophrenic? So who do we believe, the trustworthy press, like The Times, Joey’s handlers, or Joey (depending on which Joey you ask, of course)? President Trump is a racist!
On a Side Note
Did you happen to catch the Oscars Last night Deano old friend? Wow, some fireworks, huh. It seems the even-keeled Will Smith slapped Chris Rock, after he made disparaging remarks about Will’s wife. There sure was some interesting commentary after this altercation. Shock Jock turned Hamptonite elitist Howard Stern, attacked Smith for his unhinged actions, comparing him to Donald Trump….which seems very reasonable. CNN analyst Asha Rangappa, also blamed this behavior on the fact that “we normalized Trump!” I mean what rational person can argue with this logic? Will you be running any articles Deano, somehow tying the slapping incident to the INSURRECTION?
Is it Possible?
Do you think Deano, that it somehow actually was elected President Trump in disguise, and it was he who slapped Chris Rock? We better get Chardonnay Pelosi and trustworthy Adam Schiff on the case immediately. I say have a pre-election 2024 impeachment trial, stat! I mean we haven’t wasted enough taxpayer money on two ridiculous impeachment attempts and the perpetual INSURRECTION sham. I say get Chardonnay’s teeth out of her podium glass, and get her to work on this.
I’ll let you get back to your job Deano, of printing, “all the news that’s fit to print.” I don’t know why, but every time I say that out loud, I start to laugh. Yep, you guys just ooze journalistic integrity. Here comes that laughing again.
BIDEN: "A typical driver will save about $80 a month from not having to pay gas at the pump" if they just buy an electric car. pic.twitter.com/Rjjtj7poeJ
Joe Biden said the Declaration of Independence is “corny” last week. Shame on him! He’s lost sight of the basics and is taking an awful lot for granted.
The Declaration is a classical liberal document. Classical liberalism is the most coherent, humane, and sustainable political theory in the entire history of political theory. Classical liberalism provides civil liberties, the rule of law, limited government, and political and economic freedom. Abraham Lincoln wrote it is no accident we have freedom and prosperity in America. They have a “philosophical cause” – “the principle of ‘Liberty to all’ – the principle that clears the path for all–gives hope to all–and, by consequence, enterprise, and industry to all,” Lincoln wrote.
Where did Lincoln find these principles? In the Declaration of Independence, which states:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. – That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…
Unalienable rights – these are also called natural rights. Under the Declaration, you are born with these rights. They are not something the government gives you and government cannot take them away from you. In fact, the government’s job is to protect your rights. “That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men.,” the Declaration says. This means government is supposed to protect your rights from, among other things, the tyranny of the majority. Political minorities are not supposed to be persecuted under our system, which is pretty important given the number of times political minorities have been trampled throughout human history.
Freedom, prosperity, and unalienable rights – Joe Biden calls these “corny”. Perhaps he would prefer tyranny, poverty, and misery. Limited government – maybe Joe would prefer the totalitarian governments of the 20th century, the ones that deliberately killed people by the tens of millions, just because they could and nobody had any rights.
One of the rights in the Declaration is the “pursuit of Happiness”. Joe Biden thinks its “corny” you should want to be happy. Alright, Joe, no more pizza and ice cream for you.
He also thinks it’s “corny” governments should have to derive their “just powers” from “the consent of the governed”. Joe Biden was in the Senate for 36 years. What did he think he was doing there if not providing consent of the governed? The Declaration goes on to list a “long train of abuses”. The King of England disbanded colonial legislatures when he felt like it, and proclaimed no laws could be passed in the colonies without his assent. What position would Senator Joe Biden have taken if the President disbanded the U.S. Senate? Or am I just being “corny”? The King also quartered soldiers in people’s homes, that was another of the long train of abuses. I hear there’s a nice beach house in Delaware just sitting there waiting for the military to take up residence. The King also put the English military over civilian authorities. Since the Declaration is “corny”, I propose we put Mark Milley and Lloyd Austin over Joe Biden. Joe won’t mind, will he?
Joe also said about the Declaration, “we’ve never lived up to it.” That may be true, but who has ever completely lived up to an ideal? Not on this planet. But the Declaration by declaring “all men are created equal” paved the way for getting rid of slavery. Blacks in America perfected the Founders’ vision of equality and justice for all. They saw the principles and rights enunciated in the Declaration and said ‘those principles apply to me, too.’ I doubt former slaves thought equality for all under the law and the pursuit of Happiness were “corny” ideas.
Finally, the ideas in the Declaration were implemented in the Constitution. One of those ideas is limited government, expressed in the Constitution in the office of the President as one of three co-equal branches of government, an office Joe Biden now holds. So, tell me Joe, is that a “corny” idea, too? You’ve said it is, so what are you still doing in the White House? So many pizzas, so little time.
“In this country we have one great privilege which they don’t have in other countries. When a thing gets to be absolutely unbearable the people can rise up and throw it off. That’s the finest asset we’ve got — the ballot box.” – Mark Twain, 1905 interview in Boston, Massachusetts.
On Tuesday, November 3rd, 2020 we the people held a presidential election. Since that date many believe that we removed a good man and replaced him with an evil one. Since the inauguration of Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. on January 20th, 2021 we have literally seen America fundamentally transformed from a great good in the world to a source of great evil promoted both domestically and overseas.
But this transformation from good to evil did not happen overnight. In fact it was all planned well in advance.
W. Cleon Skousen in his 1958 book “The Naked Communist” listed the 45 goals that the Communists were seeking to achieve in America. Since 1958, and even before, we began to see the evil, known as Communism, infiltrate our schools, colleges, universities, corporations, legacy and social media and in the U.S. House of Representatives with Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Democrat Socialist – NY) and U.S. Senate with Socialist Bernie Sanders and even in our court system with Judge, and Supreme Court nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson.
To understand here are the key goals outlined in Skousen’s book:
#41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
#17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
#29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a world-wide basis.
#30. Discredit the American founding fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
#31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of “the big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
#12 Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party
BTW, The latest edition of Skousen “The Naked Communist” book says that the Communists have achieved 44 of the 45 goals. One more, and someone can turn the key and activate “The Apparatus” also known as “the Great Reset”.
Our once proud and good nation has now been totally taken over and faces ruin from the evil within.
Let’s look at how we got too this point where pure evil trumps good.
First we overlooked evil
This all began on September 12th, 1905 in New York City when we the people overlooked a organizational meeting held by the Intercollegiate Socialist Society (ISS). This was a meeting to begin the infiltration of our schools at every level to begin growing young socialists who would grow up to become today’s leaders of the Communist movement in America.
The first slate of officers elected at the Sept. 1905 organizational meeting included the following:
President: Jack London; First Vice President: Upton Sinclair; Second Vice President: Graham Phelps Stokes; Secretary: M.R. Holbrook; Treasurer: Rev. Owen Lovejoy; Executive Committee: Rev. George Willis Cooke, Morris Hillquit, Robert Hunter, Harry Laidler, Katherine M. Meserole, George H. Strobell.
Of this group of socialist worthies, only Harry Laidler was actually a current college student.
The Intercollegiate Socialist Society (ISS) was a national non-party group dedicated to the organization of current and former collegians for the socialist cause and the spreading of socialist ideas on campus.
There were at least two isolated cases of socialist organization on campus prior to the establishment of the ISS in September 1905. From about 1901 there was a college socialist club organized at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. In its first year the club had 11 student members and one professor and was limited to confirmed socialists. The membership restriction was loosened in 1904, however, and the club grew, coming to hold weekly discussions on the exploitation of child labor, workplace safety, and other matters of general concern.
The second collegiate socialist club was organized at the University of California at Berkeley. Called the “Social Progress Club,” the group sprung into existence following a lecture by Jack London early in 1905. [fn. Max Horn, The Intercollegiate Socialist Society, 1905-1921: Origins of the Modern Student Movement. (Boulder, CO: Westview Press, 1979), pp. 18-19.] [Emphasis added]
Adolf Hitler said,
“The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation.”
And so began the indoctrination of our children to reject capitalism and embrace Marxism.
Goal #17 accomplished. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
Then we permitted evil
As stated in goal #41.
Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
Replace rights of parent with the state agenda of equity, inclusion and diversity. What occurred simultaneously was the gradual, but inevitable destruction, of the traditional family unit of a mother, father and their biological children.
There’s little debate that modern-day American universities, public education, mainstream media, Hollywood, and political advocacy groups are dominated by leftists.This is no accident, but part of a deliberate strategy to pave the way for communist revolution developed more than eight decades ago by an Italian political theorist named Antonio Gramsci. [Emphasis added]
Slowly but shurly our universities, colleges, public, private and even parochial schools began turning children against their parents. The state, represented by the teacher’s unions and their Democrat allies, began the needed process of taking the power of parenthood away.
In March 2022 National School Boards Association, which represents local school boards, worked with the White House and the Department of Justice in drafting a memo that labeled parents who spoke at school board meetings “domestic terrorists” when they objected to a schools curriculum (e.g. teaching Critical Race Theory and supporting political agendas of groups like Black Lives Matter and the LGBTQ+ community), textbooks used in classrooms and certain sexualized books in public school libraries.
On June 26, 2015, six years ago today, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down all state laws that discriminated against gay and lesbian unions and made same-sex marriage the law of the land. Unlike other landmark civil-rights decisions, like the court’s 1954 order to desegregate schools, implementation of Obergefell v. Hodges was straightforward and easy. The most any local clerk, county recorder or state health department had to do was to change a few words on an application for a marriage license.
The impact of those small clerical adjustments is now strikingly clear. According to the census, more than half of the country’s nearly one million same-sex partner households are now married. One of them includes a man who was a leading contender for the White House and today serves in the president’s cabinet. Gallup recently found that 70 percent of the American public, including for the first time a majority of Republicans, now support equal marriage rights.
On March 17th, 2016 Dr. E. Michael Jones, a world renowned and best-selling Catholic author, lecturer, and editor of Culture Wars magazine, called gay marriage a “form of political control.”
Today if you support marriage as between one man and one woman you are labeled homophobic. If you say there are scientifically only two genders male (XX) and female (XY) you are ostracized. Even the current nominee for the U.S. Supreme court won’t define the word “woman.”
Evil may soon have a seat on the Supreme Court.
Today we celebrate evil
Today we see evil celebrated by Hollywood, corporations like Disney, Apple, Amazon and Google, the media both legacy and social and in our public schools. America’s children are being taught that our constitution is evil, our founding fathers were white supremacists and their parents are not to be listened too. Instead of learning mathematics, American history, how to read and write today’s children are taught to hate.
The Eau Claire, Wisconsin school district says parents ‘not entitled’ to know child’s sexuality. In the Eau Claire district’s guidance was a slide stating,
“Some transgender, non-binary, and/or gender-nonconforming students are not ‘open’ at home for reasons that may include safety concerns or lack of acceptance. School personnel should speak with the student first before discussing a student’s gender nonconformity or transgender status with the student’s parent/guardian…Remember, parents are not entitled to know their kids’ identities. That knowledge must be earned.”
Parents are persona no grata.
Parents have now become unwelcome or unacceptable to school boards because of something they have said, done or believe.
Accomplished:
#29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a world-wide basis.
#30. Discredit the American founding fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
#31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of “the big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
Finally, we persecute those who still call it evil
Perhaps the best example of how the powers to be deal with those who disagree with them is Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis. In March 2022 the Florida legislature passed and Governor DeSantis signed into law the Parents Rights Bill. DeSantis signed HB1467 requiring schools to publicly disclose all curriculum to parents. DeSantis at the signing ceremony stated:
“Parents have a fundamental role to be involved in the education of their kids. That’s how it’s going to be in the state of Florida.”
When the bill passed the Florida legislature the media immediately labeled HB1467 the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. Watch when a reporter asks Governor DeSantis about the “Don’t Say Gay” bill:
In response DeSantis said,
“In Florida, our parents have every right to be involved in their child’s education. We are not going to let politicians deny parents the right to know what is being taught in our schools. I’m proud to sign this legislation that ensures curriculum transparency.”
America has been fundamentally transformed from a force for good into an instrument of evil by our government controlled education system.
Accomplished: #12 Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
As Ayn Rand wrote, “The uncontested absurdities of today are the accepted slogans of tomorrow.”
Today its parents tomorrow its will be your children and grandchildren.
On Tuesday, November 8, 2022 we the people have an opportunity to redeem ourselves. Let us all pray that we do.

The Saudi-US relationship is in the throes of a crisis. As a Saudi who went to college in the US, loves America and wants to see it strong, I am increasingly disturbed by the unreality of the American discussion about the subject, which often fails to acknowledge just how deep and serious the rift has grown.
A more realistic discussion should focus on one word: “Divorce.” When President Barack Obama negotiated the nuclear deal with Iran, we Saudis understood him to be seeking the breakup of a 70-year marriage.
How could we not? After all, the flaws in the deal are well known. It paves a path for Iran to a nuclear bomb. It fills the war chest of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which has spread militias across the Arab world armed with precision-guided munitions to maim and kill people who formerly looked to America to help guarantee their safety…….read the rest.

When Biden showed up in Poland, the speechwriters dug through Reagan’s old speeches in the hopes of making him sound Reaganesque.
Too bad generations of speechwriters have already been farming that territory for too long. There were a few resonant unoriginal lines in what was otherwise a rambling and repetitive address that more closely resembled the rhythm of a Brezhnev speech.
What made Reagan speeches compelling wasn’t just words, it was the authoritative delivery and the moral authority behind the words. Reagan had built his political career around speaking things that the political elites didn’t want to be uttered: especially when it came to the Cold War. There was bold moral clarity in Reagan labeling the Soviet Union as evil because for so long the liberal elites had resisted stating the obvious. There’s no great moral triumph in pointing out that Putin is bad and that his invasion of Ukraine is wrong. Even few of Russia’s allies are especially enthralled with defending the move.
There’s no bold moral clarity in restating the popular consensus. Especially when it’s backed by nothing.
Reagan wasn’t in a rush to get into a war with Russia, but he also made it clear that America and the free world wouldn’t be pushed around. Biden has proven quite willing to borrow Reagan’s speeches and to be pushed around by Putin.
Biden is polling as weak on the Ukraine war and so he wants to borrow a little Reagan to sound tough, but despite the borrowing, he still sounds like Carter.

U.S. pump prices have surged throughout President Joe Biden’s tenure in office, even as Democrats continue to blame the spike on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Big Oil companies.
The average price of gasoline nationwide increased a whopping 48.4% between Biden’s January 2021 inauguration and Feb. 21, three days before Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine.
“We haven’t had a federal lease sale in North Dakota in over a year,” Republican North Dakota Rep. Kelly Armstrong, a member of the House Energy and Commerce Energy Subcommittee, told the Daily Caller News Foundation in an interview. “These are real things — that you are sending signals, not just to energy companies, but also to Wall Street.”
President Joe Biden and Democrats have blamed the continued gasoline price surge on Big Oil and Russia’s invasion, but pump prices have climbed throughout his tenure.
While Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has destabilized global energy markets, causing an historic supply crunch, high gasoline prices have been the norm throughout Biden’s first 14 months, federal data showed. Experts have blamed the high prices on the administration’s energy and climate policies disincentivizing domestic fossil fuel production.
Since Russia’s invasion, gasoline prices have increased more than 20%, from $3.53 per gallon to $4.24 per gallon, according to the Energy Information Administration. However, pump prices increased a whopping 48.4% between Biden’s January 2021 inauguration and Feb. 21, three days before Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered troops into Ukraine.
Democrats and the White House initially blamed Russia for the entirety of the price increases, calling it “Putin’s gas price hike,” before also accusing oil companies of profiteering off the crisis.
“While there is no denying that Putin’s war has led to instability on global energy markets, I remain concerned that the oil industry is not doing enough to protect American consumers from rising gas prices,” House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Raúl Grijalva wrote to Big Oil executives on March 18.
However, fossil fuel industry groups and Republicans have slammed the Biden administration for its long string of policies dating back to the president’s first day in office. They accused Biden of waging a war on fossil fuels, causing decreased capital flows to domestic projects.
“The United States has shown its global energy dominance over the past decade,” Independent Petroleum Association of America COO Jeff Eshelman told the Daily Caller News Foundation in February. “Unfortunately, this has been threatened by the current Administration’s policies against domestic natural gas and oil production.”
“Make no mistake, natural gas and oil production here at home benefits not only our nation, but also our worldwide allies,” he added. “For America, it means less reliance on oil imports from unfriendly countries.”
Among Biden’s first actions as president was to revoke the Keystone XL pipeline’s federal permit, which would have transported more crude oil into the U.S. from Canada. The administration also abandoned the Willow Project, a significant oil and gas project in Alaska approved by the Trump administration that would have produced 100,000 barrels of oil per day.
After a federal judge ordered the Biden administration to halt its attempted ban on new federal land drilling leases, the Department of the Interior has dragged its feet and defied multiple court-ordered deadlines to restart the program. The Interior Department also chose not to appeal a recent ruling that prohibited an offshore drilling lease in the Gulf of Mexico the agency facilitated in the fall.
Further, the administration hasn’t developed a new five-year federal leasing program — which is needed to plan future lease sales — to replace the current one which expires in late June 2022, according to a Congressional Research Service report from December. The most recent offshore lease sale occurred in 2020 during the Trump administration.
Overall, there are just 601 oil and gas drilling rigs active in the U.S., the latest government data showed. The number of rigs peaked under the Trump administration in 2018 when there were 1,032 active.
The U.S. is also on track to again become a net importer of oil in 2022 after briefly reaching net exporter status in 2020. The U.S. became a net exporter of total energy in 2019, factoring in oil, coal and natural gas trade, for the first time in 75 years.
“We haven’t had a federal lease sale in North Dakota in over a year,” Republican North Dakota Rep. Kelly Armstrong, a member of the House Energy and Commerce Energy Subcommittee, told the DCNF in an interview. “These are real things — that you are sending signals, not just to energy companies, but also to Wall Street.”
“(Drilling projects) take several years to do and a ton of capital the raise,” he continued. “How are you going to do that when you have an administration basically signaling that they want nothing to do with oil and gas?”
North Dakota produced 1.1 million barrels of oil per day in 2021, the third-largest statewide output, according to federal data.

What happens when a liberal Woke company runs into the consequences of liberal Woke policies? It flees, that’s what, and that ought to tell you something about liberal Woke policies and the stupid people pushing them.
Amazon is moving employees out of its office in downtown Seattle because violent crime has increased in the area. Seattle is the place, you will recall, where city officials never met a rioter they didn’t like. Seattle is also where the city council voted twice to defund the police, and the police can no longer chase criminals, thanks to Woke criminal justice reform.
Seattle isn’t the only Woke place suffering from high crime. A smash-and-grab gang robbed a jewelry store in the Sacramento area earlier this month, where all Democrats have to worry about is how big their majority in the state legislature will be. In St. Louis, the police budget was to be cut by $4 million and robbery victims now wait three hours to get through to 911. Austin, where voters refused to re-fund the police, shattered all records for the number of homicides in 2021 – 89 by one count, 101 by another – eclipsing the previous high of 59 in 1984. Woke Austinians are getting the government they deserve.
Woke criminal justice reform has been repudiated in some places, with some cities moving to re-fund the police. New York City Mayor Eric Adams also confessed error, moving to reinstate a plainclothes police unit that targets violent crime on the street.
The liberal Woke Brennan Center for Justice just issued a report claiming there is no clear connection between Woke bail reform and recent increases in crime in New York state. Statistics cited in the report prove otherwise. A review of 100,000 pretrial releases in a recent one-year period under the state’s cashless bail reform law showed 2 percent led to rearrests for violent felonies. Brennan concludes “relatively few people released under the new law went on to be rearrested for serious offenses.” That’s putting lipstick on a pig. The proper conclusion is that 2,000 more violent felonies occurred that would not have occurred but for Woke bail reform.
Brennan’s report doesn’t mention that former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio confessed error and admitted the Woke bail laws caused crime to go up. Brennan does mention that New York’s Governor Kathy Hochul wants the law changed back to allow bail to be set in more conditions, but Brennan misses the obvious point: this is another admission that Woke criminal justice reform just isn’t working.
Brennan’s report doesn’t even try to deal with the spectacular cases of repeat offenders being released in New York who went on to commit more crimes. A subway mugger was arrested 16 times in one day. It’s the same story elsewhere. The father of a 24-year-old graduate student who was murdered in L.A. blamed politicians who let criminals roam free on the streets. Also in L.A., a no-bail policy resulted in a car-theft suspect being re-arrested 13 times in 12 weeks.
So, nice try, Brennan Center, not even close. At this point, everybody knows defunding the police makes crime go up, and good luck calling 911. And everybody know no-cash bail lets repeat offenders commit more crimes. Woke criminal justice reform has completely failed, but now the Biden administration wants to hand out cash to drug addicts. The consequences are foreseeable to anyone with a lick of common sense and I can’t wait to write about them.
The partisan behavior of past and current leaders of the Intelligence Community is a rot that continues to expand.
Having spent 10 years on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, including more than six years as either the Chairman or Ranking Republican, I developed a deep appreciation for the work of what is often called the “Intelligence Community” (IC). I also was thoroughly impressed by the quality of the men and women who worked in the trenches, often in hostile and very dangerous locales. They were, and I suspect most still are, great patriots.
Sadly, that cannot be said about many of the higher-level professionals who lead the community as demonstrated by their actions over the last number of years. The Hunter Biden laptop episode is just the latest dagger in the side of the Intelligence Community, but it needs to be put into a larger context regarding the IC leadership’s shift in focus. The partisan behavior of so much of the past and current leadership of the Intelligence Community is so bad, it might be more accurate to call it the “Intelligence Cabal.” It is a rot that continues to expand.
Consider the unfortunate answer that the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper provided to Senator Wyden in a 2013. Asked the simple question of whether the IC was conducting mass surveillance of Americans, Clapper falsely answered, “No sir. Not wittingly.” As revealed a few months later, the National Security Agency had been collecting the metadata for nearly every call and text on American networks. While not necessarily partisan, this deceitful behavior by Clapper would become a disturbing pattern for him and other IC leaders.
In 2017, efforts clearly designed to undermine and perhaps collapse the administration of incoming President Donald Trump were executed by leading FBI and intelligence officials, including DNI Clapper, FBI Director James Comey, CIA Director John Brennan, and former CIA Director Gen. Michael Hayden. They embraced the phony Steele Dossier and talked with the media to bolster its credibility and damage Trump. They pedaled this narrative until it collapsed under the weight of its own lies when a key Russian source of Christopher Steele was arrested and charged with lying to the FBI. It also was revealed the dossier had been a hoax bought and paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign, with Steele pocketing almost $170,000 from the campaign.But far from being chastened after promoting the politically funded lies of the Steele Dossier, the individuals continued their partisan behavior and attacks. In another blow to the credibility of these much-ballyhooed former IC leaders, The New York Times finally admitted the contents of the abandoned laptop of Hunter Biden first revealed by the New York Post in October of 2020 were real and had been authenticated by the paper.
This after discussion about the laptop had been banned from many social media outlets like Twitter and Facebook as being Russian misinformation or the result of a hack.
And after the mainstream media dismissed the New York Post’sreporting out-of-hand and even refused to look into it, dismissing it as a waste of time and not really a story.
And after these vaunted former intelligence officials, joined with 51 former IC colleagues and leaders, to write a letter stating:
“All of us have an understanding of the wide range of activities of Russian overt and covert activities that undermine U.S. national security … Perhaps most important, each of us believes deeply that American citizens should determine the outcome of elections, not foreign governments.”
“… has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”
“If we are right, this is Russia trying to influence how Americans vote in this election, and we believe strongly Americans need to be aware of this.”
Well, they were wrong, and in an ironic twist, they were doing exactly what they accused Russia of doing—engaging in a classic partisan, political information campaign to influence the outcome of an election. They had, wittingly or not, made themselves tools of the Biden presidential campaign.
Signatories of the letter included many familiar and some not so familiar names: Clapper, Hayden, Brennan and David Buckley. Why do I mention Buckley? He was at one time staff director for the minority Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee, and I know him and can attest that he is a personally nice guy.
So why bring up someone I like? It’s to demonstrate that the “Intelligence Cabal” never quits. They went after Trump before he assumed office, while he was in office, and during the 2020 election. Their ongoing information operation, that started with the Steele dossier, continues to today. The latest chapter, David Buckley, who signed the laptop letter, is now the staff director for the January 6 Committee.
Many of us have raised questions about the January 6 Committee, including its construct, its membership, and scope just mention a few. This latest revelation about the role of its staff director in influencing the 2020 election through a partisan disinformation campaign is the latest major red flag.
The questions that need to be asked now are: Who will investigate the 51 intelligence officials who signed the Hunter Biden laptop letter about what they knew when signing, and who will investigate whether this created any conflicts for the lead investigator of the January 6 Committee? The sorry thing is we all know the likely answer—no one will.

The Great Food Reset: Expect ‘real’ food shortages, Biden declares – Meanwhile, Bill Gates & China buy up U.S. farmland.
Climate Depot’s Morano:
“If the Davos crowd of the World Economic Forum were looking for a better global environment on which to enact their central planning vision of a Great Reset, it would be hard to imagine a more conducive chaotic time than right now.”
“The vision of transforming the world into unelected bureaucrats taking even more control of everyday life, has now all the ingredients to push it along. The last 2 years have seen endless emergency declarations, wars, massive government spending, debt, runaway inflation, supply chain issues, food shortages, no privacy from big-brother style government snooping of your movements, skyrocketing energy prices, chipping away at car and homeownership, climate lockdowns, oppressive censorship and crushing of dissent, limits on freedom of travel, and physical autonomy.
The chaos is music to the ears of those who don’t like the idea or the messiness of human freedom. The World Economic Forum’s vision is to crowd us all in cities, they want to have us own nothing, they want to regulate literally every aspect of our lives. Food shortages are a great way to collapse the current system and install a Great Reset.”
President Joe Biden said that the world will experience food shortages as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and production increases were a subject of discussions at a Group of Seven meeting on Thursday. “It’s going to be real,” Biden said at a news conference in Brussels. “The price of the sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia. It’s imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well, including European countries and our country as well.”Michael Shellenberger:
“We are on the brink of global famine due to energy shortages and yet progressive politicians are threatening to tax energy producers and refusing to remove barriers to production. “This graph of skyrocketing fertilizer prices is the scariest chart in the world right now.”
NBC News: “Gates was also an early investor in fake-meat companies aiming to combat the environmental harms of raising livestock by creating more convincing, plant-based alternatives.”
Climate Depot: What is Gates going to do with all that farmland?
Bill Gates: Rich nations should shift entirely to synthetic beef – Gates: “I do think all rich countries should move to 100% synthetic beef.” via. MIT Technology Review
Politico: “By the start of 2020, Chinese owners controlled about 192,000 agricultural acres in the U.S., worth $1.9 billion, including land used for farming, ranching and forestry, according to the Agriculture Department.” …
“The current trend in the U.S. is leading us toward the creation of a Chinese-owned agricultural land monopoly,” Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.) warned during a recent House Appropriations hearing.
“The market research company predicts the global market for edible insects could grow to $1.18 billion by 2023. That’s almost triple its current level.”
“Per kilo of live weight, bugs emit less harmful gas than more mainstream farm animals. A cow, for example, produces 2.8 kg of greenhouse gas per kilo of live body weight. Insects, on the other hand, produce just 2 grams.” …
“From the farmer’s point of view, raising insects is going to be radically different from raising sheep, pigs, or cattle. No more coping with mud, muck and filth. An end to shifting heavy sacks of feed. And forget about having to go outdoors in all weather to manhandle livestock.” … “It may not be too long before we can all buy a bag of edible insects at our local grocery store.”
There are not enough superlatives to describe Governor DeSantis. He is the best governor in the nation. And it’s not even close. Governor DeSantis is the future of the Republican Party. #DeSantis2022 and #DeSantis2028!
NEW: @GovRonDeSantis has signed HB1467 requiring schools to publicly disclose all curriculum to parents:
"Parents have a fundamental role to be involved in the education of their kids. That's how it's going to be in the state of Florida." pic.twitter.com/nLgzqtwMjD
On the heels of national outcry over sexually explicit books in school libraries, Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Friday requiring schools to be transparent with parents about instructional reading materials.
“In Florida, our parents have every right to be involved in their child’s education,” DeSantis said in a statement. “We are not going to let politicians deny parents the right to know what is being taught in our schools. I’m proud to sign this legislation that ensures curriculum transparency.”

Every rational and decent American must get behind the re-election of President Trump in 2024. America and the world will not be able to withstand a second term of the Biden Administration. #Trump2024!
The media tried downplay the huge crowd at Saturday’s Trump rally in Commerce, Georgia. They claimed that the crowd was small. That’s BS. There were thousands of people at the rally. How interesting that the media tries to downplay Trump’s rallies that draw thousands of people, when Joe Biden could not draw 100 people to his campaign rallies in 2020.
Trump returned to the battleground Peach State Saturday night, speaking just northeast of Atlanta at the NHRA International Dragway in Commerce, Georgia. The 45th president warned that the country is living in dangerous times, given the war in Ukraine and the threats being made by Russia, China, and North Korea….
