The shocking footage shows the tense moments when several agents banged on the door screaming, “Open up!” Once the journalist opened the door, several FBI agents shouted, “Let me see your hands!”
Here are some of the highlights from today’s video:
Shocking footage published Tuesday afternoon shows the moment FBI agents raided the home of a Project Veritas journalist last November. In the video, the armed agents are heard shouting “let me see your hands!”
In addition to clutching their weapons, multiple agents are seen searching the home of the Project Veritas journalist, rummaging through the closets, bedroom and the kitchen.
The journalist can be heard multiple times on the footage, most audibly exclaiming “my hands are up,” as agents enter the home.
The raid and seizures were executed at the behest of the Biden Administration’s Department of Justice despite Attorney General Merrick Garland’s vow to respect press freedoms.
The Reporters Committee for the Freedom of the Press decried the raid on Project Veritas in court and through public statements, as has the ACLU.
Back in November, the ALCU issued letters to the court saying the raid had “serious consequences for press freedom.”
The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press issued a motion to unseal information pertaining to the Department of Justice’s unusual decision to carry out raids against journalists.
The Society of Professional Journalists and the Committee to Protect Journalists also issued statements expressing concern for the “harmful precedent” set by the raids.
Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe said, “What you have just seen is an effort by the government to intimidate and silence us as journalists…We will stand firm to vindicate our own First Amendment rights, fight for the rights of our fellow journalists, and all Americans. We cannot and will not be intimidated. Stay tuned, because we are just getting started.”

What You Need to Know About the Transhumanist Agenda
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
According to Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF), the goal of The Fourth Industrial Revolution is to change what it means to be human by merging man and machine
Humans are now “hackable,” in that technology now exists by which a company or government can know you better than you know yourself, and that can be very dangerous if misused
Professor Yuval Noah Harari predicts that algorithms will increasingly be used to make decisions that have historically been made by humans, either yourself or someone else, including whether or not you’ll be hired for a particular job, whether you’ll be granted a loan, what scholastic curriculum you will follow and even who you will marry
Harari warns that if we allow the establishment of a digital dictatorship, where the system, be it a corporation or a government, knows the most intimate details about each and every person, it will be impossible to dismantle it. Its control will be total and irreversible
If you believe that your thoughts and behavior are and always will remain under your own control, think again. We already have the technology to directly alter thoughts, emotions and behavior
According to Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF), the goal of The Fourth Industrial Revolution1 is to change what it means to be human by merging man and machine. In short, while the term “transhumanism” is not being used, that’s exactly where the global cabal intends to take us, willing or not.
In a November 2019 interview with CNN,2 history professor and bestselling author Yuval Noah Harari, a Klaus Schwab disciple, warned that “humans are now hackable animals,” meaning, the technology now exists by which a company or government can know you better than you know yourself, and that can be very dangerous if misused.
He predicted that algorithms will increasingly be used to make decisions that historically have been made by humans, either yourself or someone else, including whether or not you’ll be hired for a particular job, whether you’ll be granted a loan, what scholastic curriculum you will follow and even who you will marry.
Profound Dangers Ahead
There’s also an ever-increasing risk of being manipulated by these outside forces that you’re not even fully aware of. Looking back over the last two years, it’s rather easy to confirm that mass manipulation is taking place at a staggering scale, and that it’s phenomenally effective.
As noted by Harari in 2019,3 the available capabilities already go far beyond Orwell’s “1984” authoritarian vision, and it’s only going to become more powerful from here. He’s certain that in short order, there will be the ability to monitor your emotional state through something as simple as a wearable wristband.
You may dutifully smile and clap when listening to a speech by a government official, but they’ll know you’re angry or don’t agree with what’s being said, and could therefore take action against you based on your most personal, internal emotions rather than what you outwardly express.
Importantly, Harari warned that if we allow the establishment of this kind of digital dictatorship, where the system, be it a corporation or a government, knows the most intimate details about each and every person, it will be impossible to dismantle it. Its control will be total and irreversible. And, Harari believes we may have only a decade, at most two, to prevent this digital dictatorship from taking over.
Reengineering Life Itself
Harari also discussed the coming transhumanism at the WEF’s 2020 annual meeting in Davos (above), and in this speech, he went even further. Not only does the global elite have the technological capability to create a global digital dictatorship, but “elites may gain the power to reengineer the future of life itself.”
“For four billion years, nothing fundamental changed in the basic rules of the game of life,” he said. “All of life was subject to the laws of natural selection and the laws of organic biochemistry. But this is now about to change.
Science is replacing evolution by natural selection with evolution by intelligent design, not the intelligent design of some god in the clouds, [but] OUR intelligent design, and the design of our ‘clouds,’ the IBM cloud, the Microsoft cloud. These are the new driving forces of evolution.”
It’s hard to determine whether Harari is for or against transhumanism. He speaks of it as an inevitability, and something that can be used for tremendous good. But he also recognizes its profound dangers, and seems to believe we need to discuss how these technological capabilities can be used, and whether they should.
In the featured Davos speech, it sounds as though he’s a proponent of this human intelligent design venture, but in his 2019 interview with CNN, he also stated that “we must never underestimate the stupidity of humans.” The fact that we have the technology to design new life forms, including new kinds of humans, does not necessarily mean that we’re smart enough to design something better than what natural evolution has come up with thus far.
In his Davos speech, Harari also pointed out that science is now enabling us to create life not only in the organic realm but in the inorganic realm as well. We’re talking about “living” robots and the like. He also raises the question as to who “owns” your DNA, if it can be charted and hacked. Does it belong to you, a corporation, or the government?
‘The Days of Free Will Are Over’
Whatever Harari’s true feelings about transhumanism, he emphatically states that the idea that we have a soul and free will, those days “are over.” In other clips that have been inserted into the featured video, Harari predicts that in the future, people will be able to look back and see that the COVID pandemic was the turning point where biological surveillance took over and became norm.
The explanation for how that was able to occur is given by Schwab, who has publicly admitted (see featured video) that participants in the WEF’s Young Global Leaders program have “penetrated the cabinets” of many world governments.
In Canada, for example, about half the politicians, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, have taken Schwab’s training. Schwab is all about ushering in transhumanism and changing what it means to be human, and his minions of global leaders are sure doing everything they can to make those dreams a reality. This is a dystopian future WEF and its global allies are actively trying to implement, whether humanity at large agrees with it or not.
Changing What It Means To Be Human
Schwab dreams of a world in which humans are connected to the cloud, able to access the internet through their own brains. This, of course, also means that your brain would be accessible to people who might like to tinker with your thoughts, emotions, beliefs and behavior, be they the technocratic elite themselves or random hackers.
If you believe that your thoughts and behavior are and always will remain under your own control, think again. We already have the technology to directly alter thoughts, emotions and behavior. Some of these capabilities are described in a 2021 project report by the U.K. Ministry of Defense, created in partnership with the German Bundeswehr Office for Defense Planning.
The report, “Human Augmentation — The Dawn of a New Paradigm, a Strategic Implications Project,”4 reviews the scientific goals of the U.K. and German defense ministries, and they are precisely what the title suggests. Human augmentation is stressed as being a key area to focus on in order to win future wars:5
“Human augmentation will become increasingly relevant, partly because it can directly enhance human capability and behavior and partly because it is the binding agent between people and machines.”
Key words I’d like to draw your attention to are the affirmation that human augmentation can “directly enhance behavior.” If you can enhance behavior, that means you can change someone’s behavior. And if you can change a person’s behavior in a positive way, you can also control it to the person’s own detriment.
Theoretically, absolutely anyone, any random civilian with a brain-to-cloud connection and the needed biological augmentation (such as strength or speed) could be given wireless instructions to carry out an assassination, for example, and pull it off flawlessly, even without prior training.
Alternatively, their physical body could temporarily be taken over by a remote operator with the prerequisite skills. Proof of concept already exists, and is reviewed by Dr. Charles Morgan, professor in the department of national security at the University of New Haven, in the lecture below. Using the internet and brain implants, thoughts can be transferred from one person to another. The sender can also directly influence the physical movements of the receiver.
Project Immortality
Historically, the striving for immortality has been a faith-based venture, based in the idea that the soul is immortal while the body perishes, which is a concept I am in complete alignment with. Transhumanists more or less reverse this idea. They discard the notion of soul altogether and aim for the preservation of the perceived personality, first through radical life extension of the physical body, and later through the transfer of brain data into a replacement form.
According to Dmitry Itskov, the Russian founder of the Immortality 2045 project,6 only 2% of people are ready to accept death — a statistic that he uses to justify the search for immortality through things like artificial organs, artificial body constructs, the simulation of mental processes and, ultimately, the transferring of one’s mind into an artificial carrier.
The goals of this project include not only the creation of the cybernetic technologies needed to achieve an immortal body, but also the creation of “a new philosophical paradigm for humanity.” Schwab has talked about the same thing, using the term “social contract” rather than “philosophical paradigm.”
The Immortality 2045’s vision, published in 2011, starts with the creation of the first robotic copy of a human body that can be remotely controlled by 2020. By 2025, they want an avatar into which the human brain can be transplanted at the end of life. By 2035, they want an avatar with a synthetic brain, into which the human personality can be transferred and, by 2045, they imagine a holographic-like avatar. Itskov says:7
“The aim of the first project, known as ‘Avatar,’ is the creation of a robot copy of a human being controllable through a ‘brain-computer’ interface. When I’m asked to give the gist of this project, I tell people to recall the film ‘Surrogates,’ which depicts a world in which every person has an artificial body that he controls remotely.
The makers of that blockbuster put an accent on the negative side of such a scenario. Nonetheless, the film’s highly graphic demonstration of the idea allows one to get an immediate sense of what it is.”
Does living through an avatar sound like a life devoid of spirituality to you? Not so, Itskov says, because by ending our dependency on our physical bodies, “many things will open up spiritually.” I have my doubts about that, as most spiritual adepts will tell you that being hooked on technology tends to hinder rather than elevate spiritual pursuits, which are most easily achieved by living simply, in close contact with the natural world.
I just don’t foresee being able to elevate spiritually when any number of outside parties can access your brain and dictate what you think, feel and believe. Transhumanists like Itskov tend to focus only on the perceived benefits of synthetic life. For example, he promises that his avatars will be affordable for everyone who wants them, regardless of income bracket.
Yet the WEF has clearly announced that by 2030, nobody will own anything, and while not clearly stated, that will likely even include your own body. So, to think that your avatar would be “yours” is probably unrealistic.
Looked at through the lens of the WEF’s Fourth Industrial Revolution, it seems the plan is for the elite to literally own all of humanity, which will be refashioned to their own liking. And, if people can be hacked and controlled remotely, then we can be sure they will be. That’s particularly true for synthetic or mechanical avatars that can’t “live” or remain “conscious” without a cloud connection.
Resource to Understand the Transhuman Agenda — Blockchained
Corey Lynn is a top-notch investigative journalist who covers topics the mainstream won’t touch, including the transhumanist agenda. On her website, Corey’s Digs,8 you can find select chapters from her book, “Global Landscape on Vaccine ID Passports.”
Chapter 4 in the book is titled “Blockchained,” which explains what digital identity is all about. Digital ID is not just a piece of identification, with which you can prove who you are. It will collect and monitor ALL of your data, from your personal finances, education, work history, GPS location 24/7, everything you’ve ever typed on your computer, your search history, social media presence, emotional status and physical biometrics, down to your DNA.
I will only cover a minor part of that chapter here, the part on human augmentation and artificial intelligence (AI), so for more, be sure to browse through her website or, better yet, read her book, which can be purchased on her site. The digital PDF is only $9.95 and a print copy is $19.95.
Big Data, Data Sharing and AI
Make no mistake, transhumanism is the ultimate goal of the technocratic elite, and both “big data” and AI are integral components of that. Without one or both of those, the transhumanist dream is dead in the water. The goal of transhumanism is undoubtedly why there’s been so much focus on those two areas in the first place.
So, remember, data gathering, data sharing and AI are not about making your life more convenient. They’re to make you obsolete. The intention is to replace you with a synthetic copy of you that can be remotely controlled.
In 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), an intergovernmental organization that consists of 38 countries that work with various working groups and policy makers, issued a report on the “State of Implementation of the OECD AI principles.” So far, 46 countries have adopted these AI principles.
The strategy is to develop centralized repositories of public datasets in each country, and then enable public-private data sharing to build a vast network where each dataset is connected with all the others.
Biosecurity Will Be Used to Justify Surveillance Tyranny
Another report, by the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence (NSCAI), founded “to advance the development of artificial intelligence” and “comprehensively address the national security and defense needs of the United States,” highlights the need to combat digital disinformation and prioritizing biosecurity.
To help with that, a U.S. government-funded supercomputer is being set up at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory under the direction of the Department of Energy. This AI supercomputer can do more than 1 quintillion calculations per second.
Some of this data sharing is already taking place. As noted by Corey, NATO launched an in-house biometrics system for data sharing between nations in November 2020, and in May 2021, the U.S. military merged its biometrics-enabled watch list with the Department of Defense’s automated biometric identification system (ABIS).
“They are working on multi-modal fusion matching and improving biometric face-matching capability through AI and machine learning, and have already improved their long-range infrared cameras,” Corey writes. “Looking toward the near future, they are also focused on palm print biometrics, faces in crowds, integration to identify threats online, and non-traditional latent DNA collection.”
We Need Biometric Privacy Laws NOW
While surveillance science is moving at lightning speed, regulations and privacy laws are trailing at a snail’s pace. A federal biometric privacy bill, the National Biometric Information Privacy Act, was introduced in 2020 but didn’t go anywhere. As noted by Corey, it could be resurrected if enough people speak up.
In the U.S., a handful of states do have biometric privacy laws, Illinois’ being one of the strictest, but the vast majority have no such protections in place. As reported by Corey:
“The Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) requires private entities to inform people in writing that their information is being collected and stored, what the purpose is, and term for collection and storage, and must secure a written release from the person.
Those same private entities are not allowed to sell, lease, trade, or profit from a person’s biometric information. A person may file suit at $1,000 for each negligent violation or $5,000 for each intentional or reckless violation, plus attorneys’ fees and costs. Actual harm is not required to establish standing.”
Clearly, we need these kinds of protections everywhere, in all states and all countries, because as it stands, the global cabal of transhumanist technocrats are building a data-sharing system that is intended to become global. The lack of legal protections against data collection, analysis and sharing is what allows this reckless expansion of surveillance. As noted by Corey:
“If it’s not crystal clear by now, globalists and eugenicists (sometimes one in the same) are running the show, and they are working very hard at achieving their ultimate desires of a controlled human race, evolution of transhumanism with a strong artificial intelligence taking the place of many humans, while they fly to Mars during their years of immortality, and observe humanity through endless surveillance systems. But their dream only becomes a reality if people allow it to.”

How is it that so many kids raised on “Harry Potter”, “The Hunger Games”, “Star Wars”, and all the Marvel action figure movies manage to miss a critical point of the stories? The lesson being: If you want to prevail over evil villains, you must have the proper tools to fight back.
Millions of people protect themselves and their families with guns every day in the United States. They choose guns as a means of self-defense for the same reason the Secret Service uses them to protect the president: guns stop bad people from doing bad things to good people.
It’s absurd to speak about the right of self-defense in theory but then deny people the tools they need to exercise that right.
Without a gun, most Americans are defenseless at the hands of a violent criminal. How many of us have training in hand-to-hand fighting, the physical strength, and the mental resilience to react in a fight-or-flight situation to repel an aggressive predator, especially someone who attacks us first and is armed with a deadly weapon?
Does a gun guarantee your safety? No, but it gives you the ability to defend yourself against an armed, physically superior, or mentally unstable attacker (or all three).
Why in the world would anyone not want to have the means to protect themselves and their families against criminal predators and lunatics? Worse yet, why would anyone actively lobby their government to deprive themselves and every other law-abiding citizen of the most effective means to protect themselves?
Guns Are Life-Saving Tools
The gun grabbers are convinced that if we shut down the National Rifle Association and take away guns from law-abiding gun owners, then bad people will no longer have the tools to do bad things.
A gun is a tool, plain and simple. You should own a gun for the same reason you install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, purchase fire extinguishers, and buckle your seat belt. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Smart people are prepared. Foolish people bring a knife—or nothing at all—to a gunfight.
The gun grabbers say: “There is no evidence that guns save lives.” The truth: If there is no proof that guns save lives, then why does every American law enforcement agency, including the U.S. Secret Service, carry guns? What’s the point of the guns?
There is an old saying in the world of investing: “Do what the smart money does.” This means that when you personally invest, it makes sense to buy and sell the same investments as the “smart money” people—large banks, institutional investors, hedge funds, and investment gurus like Warren Buffett. The idea is that these industry leaders have a better understanding of the marketplace and better access to information than ordinary investors do. And that is usually true.
What do the “smart money” people do when it comes to protecting lives?
Virtually all professionals carry guns—and lots of them. Federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies charged with protecting the streets you walk on all carry guns. The Secret Service protects the president with guns. The federal Department of Homeland Security, with its $44 billion annual budget, issues its own agents handguns and fully automatic rifles (rifles far more powerful than the AR-15s many gun grabbers don’t want you to have to protect yourself).
So, the smart money in the business of protecting lives chooses guns. That’s right. They choose guns!
Guns Are Often Used for Defense
But if you don’t want to follow the smart money on guns, then let’s turn to the statistical scoreboard. Does civilian gun use help in self-defense against criminals?
The U.S. Department of Justice investigated firearm violence from 1993 through 2011. The report found, “In 2007–2011, about 1 percent of nonfatal violent crime victims used a firearm in self-defense.” Anti-gun zealots attempt to use this statistic to discredit the use of a gun as a viable means of self-defense, and by extension, to discredit gun ownership in general.
But look deeper into the numbers. During that five-year period, the Department of Justice confirmed a total of 338,700 defensive gun uses in both violent attacks and property crimes where a victim was involved. That equals an average of 67,740 defensive gun uses every year. In other words, according to the Justice Department’s own statistics, 67,740 people a year don’t become victims because they own a gun. (I suspect that if more states allowed concealed carry to be widespread, the number of instances of defensive gun uses would be even higher.)
Is it significant that at least 67,740 individuals use a gun in self-defense each year? Well, in 2016, 37,461 people died in motor vehicle accidents in the United States; in 2015, the number was 35,092 people. Mark Rosekind, administrator of the National Highway Transportation and Safety Administration (NHTSA), called those road fatalities “an immediate crisis.” If the NHTSA administrator considers it a crisis that approximately 37,000 people are dying annually from car accidents, then saving nearly twice that many people each year through the use of firearms is simply stunning.
In reality, the Department of Justice findings about defensive gun uses are very conservative. A 2013 study ordered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and conducted by the Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council found that:
Defensive use of guns by crime victims is a common occurrence… Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million…in the context of about 300,000 violent crimes involving firearms in 2008… On the other hand, some scholars point to a radically lower estimate of only 108,000 annual defensive uses based on the National Crime Victimization Survey…”
The most comprehensive study ever conducted about defensive gun use in the United States was a 1995 survey published by criminologist Gary Kleck in the Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology. This study reported between 2.1 and 2.5 million defensive gun uses every year.
Ultimately, the number of defensive gun uses doesn’t matter much to the anti-gun zealots. Whether the number is 67,000 or 2.5 million or anywhere in between, they’ll do whatever they can to dismiss defensive gun uses as insignificant. They want to focus only on the dead people lying in the street rather than those folks who use a firearm to remain standing.
I suspect those people still alive would have a different view.

We learned that in the final days of the 2016 presidential race, when the Clinton campaign came up with the Steele dossier — a collection of sensational and unsupported allegations about Trump and Russia — the FBI used the dossier to win approval to wiretap Carter Page, a low-level former Trump campaign adviser. Then we learned that also in 2016, the FBI used a confidential informant, a professor named Stefan Halper, to spy on Page and George Papadopoulos, another low-level Trump adviser.
Then we learned that in 2016, the FBI sent an undercover agent — a woman who used the alias Azra Turk — to secretly record conversations with Papadopoulos.
So there is ample evidence to say that the FBI spied on the Trump campaign. Now we are learning about another type of spying — the Clinton campaign spying on the Trump campaign. The revelations are coming from the investigation of John Durham, the special counsel appointed by the Trump administration, and retained by the Biden administration, to probe the origins of the Trump-Russia collusion investigation.
In a court filing Friday, Durham reported that in July 2016, a tech executive named Rodney Joffe (he is unnamed in the court papers, but his name has been widely reported) worked with the Clinton campaign’s law firm to “mine internet data,” some of it “non-public and/or proprietary” — that means secret — to search for information that could be used to claim a Trump-Russia connection. Among the secret data that was “exploited,” according to Durham, was internet traffic from Trump Tower, from Donald Trump’s Central Park West apartment building and — after Trump was elected — the executive office of the president of the United States, or EOP.
Democrats commissioned, payed for and distributed the Russian collusion story and the media picked up the ball and ran with it.
Today Biden and his administration are blaming Russia for our economic woes. Go figure. For Democrats it’s always never take the blame, shift it to someone else.
This is worse than Watergate. It is worse than anything see in America ever before.
It is a tragedy and sadly, under a Biden DOJ Hillary and those involved won’t be prosecuted.

On Friday, I listened to a completely one-sided story on NPR agitating against Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s order, now paused by litigation, that state agencies investigate transgender treatment and surgery for minors as potential child abuse.
Before I get started on this, let me repeat what I’ve said many times before: there have always been transgender people and nobody should hate them or wish them harm. But if you back out the people infected by social contagion or pushed into it by self-interested educators and medical professionals, and you also back out the children who grow out of gender dysphoria by the time they’re 18, there are very few genuine cases left.
NPR interviewed Texas parents with transgender children. The interview was conducted in hushed reverential tones with supposedly saintly persecuted parents, with the interviewer saying “Oh, my God” and “Wow” to emphasize how cruel the state was being to them. Total affectation on the part of the interviewer, and not one word about why the state wanted to investigate the transgender industry in Texas for child abuse in the first place. This was not reporting. It was what has come to be called ‘advocacy journalism’, the idea that journalists should no longer report the news but, instead, try to change the world into a left-wing Utopia. A story on NBC on the same subject was just as one-sided and a story on CBS, aside from one brief quote from a Texas lawmaker in favor of the investigations, was also lop-sided. I’m immediately suspicious when major news outlets won’t tell me both sides of the story and I have to go hunt for it. I’m also suspicious when transgender activists, some of whom expressly admit to being communists, attempt to shut down anybody trying to present the other side of the story, as happened in Texas recently.
The parents in the NPR story said “they’re just doing what they can to keep their children happy and healthy, and that includes gender-affirming care.” One of their children had “been up all night crying, having nightmares” over the investigations. Another child announced preferred pronouns one day at the age of 7. One parent said they were just providing “medical care” to their children and, if they were to leave the state, “thousands and thousands of families” in Texas wouldn’t have anybody to speak for them. This all sounds coached and way too pat. Thousands and thousands of families? Medical care? A whole sob story about children ages 3-7 to whom the law does not even apply? Children that age aren’t given drugs or surgery, but NPR uses them as props anyway to campaign against a state order involving drugs and surgery for older children.
So what is the other side of the story? The Texas Attorney General found that sex change drugs and surgery can constitute child abuse under the law because they can cause “mental or emotional injury to a child that results in an observable and material impairment in the child’s growth, development, or psychological functioning.” They can also cause physical injury and sterilization. Therefore, people like parents and medical professionals with a duty of care are legally obligated to make reasonable efforts to prevent these injuries to minors. “Child abuse” is defined broadly under state law and you don’t need a separate statute if parents start beating their kids with a board instead of a stick. It’s undeniable that people who try to switch genders have a higher risk of suicide and psychiatric hospitalization. It’s also undeniable there are many kinds of age restrictions in the law to protect children. We don’t let them drink or drive, nor should we let them have permanent life-altering mutilating surgery when they are too young to understand all the consequences. The minute they turn 18, fine, that’s a different story.
Back to the poor persecuted parents interviewed on NPR. There’s not one word in that story about them following a protocol or consulting a variety of experts to see how to handle the situation appropriately. Did they investigate when children typically grow out of gender dysphoria? Not a word about this. In the story, the parents just jumped right to so-called “medical care”. So maybe that IS child abuse for causing physical and emotional injuries to their children which the parents have a legal – and I would say, moral – duty to prevent. I don’t know the facts of these individual cases because NPR failed to tell us more about the choices these parents made, so we could evaluate their actions intelligently instead of just having transgender propaganda shoved down our throats.
The NBC story noted the Texas legislature failed to pass a bill last year that would have criminalized transgender drugs and surgery for minors. That may be true, but it’s also true the legislature did not take away the state’s discretion that lawmakers previously gave to decide what constitutes “child abuse”. This will all play out in the courts which is fine because, the more the transgender-industrial complex and the avowedly left-wing apparatus supporting it are put under the microscope, the less people are going to like this entire enterprise.
Biden and his administration’s policies has and are leading to World Wars 3, 4 and 5.
World War 3 has already begun in the Ukraine. This war has multiple characters in it: Russia, Syria, China and Chechnya.
World War 4 will be in the Middle East between Iran and Arab nations in partnership with Israel. Arab nations, and Israel, cannot allow Iran to become nuclear capable.
World War 5 will take place in the Eastern Pacific. It will begin with China becoming more aggressive against Taiwan and other nations in the region including South Korea, Japan and Vietnam.
Biden’s national security policy is appeasement.
Biden is Appeaser-In-Chief
Biden and his administration have neutered U.S. foreign policy. Biden and his administration have dissed our allies while going out of the collectivist way to appeasing our enemies.
Biden’s appeasement of Radical Islamists.
Biden appeased the Muslim members of his party by taking a harsh stand against Israel and the Jewish people. On February 16, 2022, Biden killed the Israeli Pipeline Project thus empowering Russia’s energy dominance in Europe. According to The Hill, “The proposed pipeline would have given Europe an alternative to its heavy dependence on Russian gas. It would have conveyed about 10 billion cubic yards of Israeli and Cypriot natural gas to Europe via Greece and Italy each year.”
Biden has appeased Iran.
It was announced by the Russians that the U.S. and Iran have reached a nuclear deal. National Review on March 4, 2022 reported, “President Joe Biden vowed this week to isolate Russia, yet his negotiators stayed at the table with their Russian counterparts in Vienna, putting the finishing touches on an Iran nuclear deal 2.0 that will benefit Russia and Iran and endanger the U.S. and its allies. The new agreement is even worse than the 2015 deal made by the Obama administration. Biden’s version would lift U.S. terrorism sanctions on Iran, the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, and leave Tehran’s illicit nuclear infrastructure intact without first demanding a full accounting of Iran’s secret nuclear work.” Death may finally be coming to America solely because of Biden’s appeasement of the mullahs.
Biden’s appeased Russia and Putin.
Biden by cutting our domestic oil and natural gas production, see items 1 and 4 above, has turned the energy keys to Europe over to Putin and this has directly lead to the invasion of the Ukraine. Craig Rucker during a talk in Virginia said, “Efforts to go net zero have diminished the ability of nations to provide sufficient energy to meet demand, and this gives tyrants like Vladimir Putin an opportunity to provide that energy in the form of natural gas and rake in millions to fund his war machine.” Marc Morano took Biden to task on Fox and Friends explaining, “Russian oil imports are at an 11 year high. We’re importing 600,000 barrels a day from Russia. And Russia’s federal budget is 40% based upon oil and gas revenue.” Finally we have seen Russia produces 3 times more gas than Europe produces. Why? Because climate activists, partly funded by Russia, blocked fracking.
Biden’s appeasing of Communist China.
Finally, we are looking at Communist China, not because of what Hunter Biden did there, but because his father is in full blown appeasement mode to kowtow to the Chinese when it comes to Taiwan and the South China Sea. Since the end of the Olympics China has ramped up its pressure on Taiwan. The Center For Security Policy in an April 16th 2020 article warned, “Amid coronavirus upheaval, the Chinese government’s evasion and deception has remained constant. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) alone is responsible for the global pandemic and resulting consequential economic devastation. However, if the medical community had been skeptical of the totalitarian regime –and the World Health Organization (WHO) had not aggressively defended it –the outbreak may not have spread. Taiwan, kicked out of the WHO in 2017 at Beijing’s behest, was denied access to WHO data. Taiwan’s successful containment of coronavirus was an alternative possibility for the rest of the world; had Beijing’s reports been challenged instead of accepted…The most important CCP objective is to maintain control. Ultimately the party does not care about human rights, or even human lives. To protect itself, the Chinese regime suppressed life-saving information at the cost of 22,071 American lives, a number projected only to grow.”
The Bottom Line
Biden is Appeaser-In-Chief. He appeases our sworn enemies while attacking our long time allies, like Israel. Biden and his cabinet are bent on making America worse for its citizens.
Biden appeasement has lead to:
Higher energy prices.
Higher food and consumer goods prices.
A national supply chain crisis.
A war in Europe, and potentially in the Middle East and Western Pacific.
Arming Iran with nuclear weapons.
Turning America from energy independent to energy dependent from our enemies, e.g. Russia and Iran.
Caused inflation.
Raised taxes.
Increased spending and gifting those who hate America.
Each of the above policies have weakened America, not only domestically, and are directly a threat to our national security.
Americans are now pushing back against Biden and his policies.
We stand here firm in our belief that Biden is Appeaser-In-Chief.

CDC data shows the Millennial generation suffered a “Vietnam War event,” with more than 61,000 excess deaths in that age group in the second half of 2021, according to an analysis by a former Wall Street executive who made a career of crunching numbers to make big-dollar investment decisions.
In an interview Thursday with Steve Bannon on “War Room,” he said that what they found was “shocking.”
The Millennials, about ages 25 to 40, experienced an 84% increase in excess mortality in the fall, he said, describing it as the “worst-ever excess mortality, I think, in history.”
It was the highest increase in excess deaths of any age group last year, seven times higher than the Silent Generation, those who are older than 85.
And the increase coincided with the vaccine mandates and the approval of the booster shots.
“Basically, Millennials experienced a Vietnam War in the second half of 2021,” Dowd said, noting 58,000 people died in the conflict.
He said the insurance expert with whom he worked is presenting the data to a financial group and will eventually reveal his identity. And a senior chief risk officer also has reached out to him, which he described as just the beginning.
“If you’re on Wall Street and you still think Pfizer and Moderna are good buys, I’ve got news for you: There’s some catalysts coming that are probably not going to be good for holding those stocks,” he said.
Dowd said he also had examined the Pfizer clinical trial data provided by whistleblower Brook Jackson, concluding it, and the fact that Pfizer has tried to hide it, point to “clinical fraud.”
He also posted tables on Gettr showing excess mortality for Gen X — about age 41 to 56 — since August 2021 was 101,000. The Baby Boomers saw 306,000 excess deaths during the same period, which Dowd described as a “World War II” event.

The tragic case of Matthew Perna, and its terrible implications. New in FrontPage:
Imagine a country that imprisons peaceful protestors on false charges of participating in an attempt to overthrow the government, as part of efforts to discredit and ultimately criminalize all opposition to the ruling party’s agenda. People who entered a public building when police held the door open for them are being held in solitary confinement and given draconian punishments far out of proportion to what they actually did. This is the sort of thing that happens in Third World countries, right? This is the sort of thing tinpot dictators do in banana republics, where the rulers gained power by underhanded means and have no respect for due process, the rule of law, or the rights of their citizens – right? Maybe so, but all this and worse is happening right now in the land of the free and the home of the brave, where up until quite recently, it all would have been unthinkable.
Take, for example, the case of Matthew Perna, who traveled from his home in Pennsylvania to Washington on January 6, 2021, to protest the widely reported election irregularities, which only now are being confirmed by investigators. He pleaded guilty on December 9 to entering the Capitol and committed suicide on February 25, while awaiting sentencing.
Perna’s obituary tells an appalling story of injustice and railroading. Perna, it says, “attended the rally on January 6, 2021, to peacefully stand up for his beliefs.” He was no revolutionary or radical activist: “After learning that the FBI was looking for him, he immediately turned himself in.” What did he do on January 6 to attract the attention of the FBI? Nothing much: “He entered the Capitol through a previously opened door (he did not break in as was reported) where he was ushered in by police. He didn’t break, touch, or steal anything. He did not harm anyone, as he stayed within the velvet ropes taking pictures.”
The government, however, was bent on portraying him and others like him as an “insurrectionist,” and destroying his life accordingly. The obituary adds: “The constant delays in hearings, and postponements dragged out for over a year. Because of this, Matt’s heart broke and his spirit died, and many people are responsible for the pain he endured. Matt did not have a hateful bone in his body. He embraced people of all races, income brackets, and beliefs, never once berating anyone for having different views.”
Perna’s aunt, Geri Perna, said of Matthew: “They broke him. They mentally broke him. He had run out of hope. I know he couldn’t take it anymore.”
Compare the treatment of Perna and the other January 6 scapegoats to the treatment of Quintez Brown, a Black Lives Matter activist who shot at Louisville mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg. Journalist Miranda Devine noted that Brown was “portrayed sympathetically by the media and immediately bailed out of jail by his Black Lives Matter comrades, who crowdfunded the $100,000 cost.” Devine added that Brown was “a celebrated gun control advocate, anointed as a rising star by the Obama Foundation, he was an honored guest on Joy Reid’s MSNBC show. He was granted a biweekly opinion column in the Louisville Courier-Journal to spew boilerplate leftist, race-based, anti-cop sentiment.” Brown had, Devine says, “BLM privilege.” Indeed.
In America, we no longer have a single justice system for all people, regardless of race, or of power, or privilege, or the protected victimhood status they may have among the Leftist intelligentsia. We no longer have a justice system that is indifferent to and independent of political pressure. The politically and culturally dominant Left is not content with the massive power and influence it wields now; it is determined to silence all opposition, and destroy it utterly.
We have seen the totalitarian impulse of the far-Left play out in revolutionary France, as well as in the Soviet Union, Communist China, Democratic Kampuchea, Fidel Castro’s Cuba, and a host of other places. In every one, the judiciary serves as a tool of the political elites, who wield it in order to prosecute, persecute, and obliterate their opposition. American schools used to teach that our system had a series of built-in checks and balances that would prevent that kind of tyranny from developing.
But now the schools focus on teaching that the Founding Fathers were evil slaveowners, and the system they created is just another vehicle of white privilege to be dismantled. By the time the fanatics they have indoctrinated get around to dismantling that system altogether, doing so will be just a formality. The Left has long since hollowed it out and rendered its safeguards meaningless. The persecution of the January 6 defendants proves that.
Brad Miner reviews a new book about views of human sexuality (especially transgenderism) that undermine the natural-law basis of Catholic moral theology.
John S. Grabowski is a professor of moral theology and ethics at Catholic University of America, and the epigram to the first chapter of his new book, Unraveling Gender: The Battle over Sexual Difference comes from Tolkien’s The Return of the King – Gandalf’s rallying cry (in part) to the people of Gondor to defend their way of life: “See! The beacons of Gondor are alight, calling for aid. War is kindled.”
But Unraveling Gender is not a manifesto for conflict. In fact, it’s a compassionate appeal for Christian charity and clarity. “Our battle is against the powers of evil – sin and the devil – in ourselves, and in the world around us (see Eph 6:10–17). Other human beings are not the real enemy in this battle.” Perhaps. But it seems clear that those of us who reject the idea of gender fluidity are the enemy to those who endorse it – just ask them.
Grabowski takes pains to show the long (since St. Paul VI’s papacy) Catholic history of compassion in matters of sexuality. But he also sees the new gender ideology as aligned with what St. John Paul II so memorably called “the culture of death.”
Underlining this whole business is a simple question: Is sex (or gender) binary? The simple answer is yes, although there is such a thing as intersex, a very rare genetic anomaly (and like “gender” a word that’s been hijacked by contemporary enthusiasts). Grabowski refers to this as the Babel Effect: “Gender ideology rejects both the realist’s belief in a reality where things have common natures or essences and in the ability of language to correspond with that reality.”
And the genesis is obvious. As Grabowski writes: “The presupposition of this Marxist feminist program is clear – sexual difference itself is unjust and must be overcome as much as possible.” So true is this, that those advocating the LGBT agenda have no qualms about killing their unborn children and throwing biological women under the bus whenever a man pretending to be a woman steps forward to compete against them in sports.
And it’s always male athletes unable to compete successfully against other men who do this. Had Bruce Jenner decided to become Caitlyn in 1976, the year he won Gold at the Montreal Olympics, people would have thought him nuts, and U.S.A. Track and the IOC would never have allowed him to compete as a woman. Of course, he wouldn’t have, because he was the best man in the men’s field. (By the way, Jenner thinks mate-to-female transgender athletes should not be permitted to compete against biological women.)
Speaking about the divine plan for sexuality, Professor Grabowski makes the marvelous point that Scripture is “bookended” by marriage: by Genesis 2 (“This one, at last, is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh”), humanity begun; and by Revelation 21 (“And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband”), humanity fulfilled. Unraveling Gender is a Biblically based and very Catholic book.
Faith and reason are key to figuring out how to deal with what amounts to the heresy of the Left’s sexual ideology. The “synthesis” that they cravenly seek always invokes “science”:
relatively new questions posed by more recent scientific research that have been intensified by the cultural upheaval that we are just beginning to grapple with and think through – the causes of sexual attraction, the phenomenon of persons whose expression of sexual difference is ambiguous on some level (i.e., intersex persons or those with disorders of sexual development), and the best ways to respond to persons who experience the pain of gender dysphoria.
Putting aside a man’s insistence that he’s a woman (for which genetic reality offers irrefutable evidence of the absurdity of such a claim), I look at the transgender movement as a sideshow in the garish, earsplitting, and mind-blowing carnival that is American culture.
I’m too old to care. Except, that is, when it comes to sports – to men arrogating women’s competitions. Professor Grabowski writes that “second-wave” and later feminist theorizing are to blame: “Having sown the existentialist and postmodern wind, modern feminism now faces a transgender whirlwind to which it helped to give birth.”
It is obvious that, in this case, women seeking to affirm male-to-female transgender “women” hurt biological women. They wound them deeply. Worse, they can’t now bring themselves back from the edge of the self-destructive, post-modern abyss they helped to spawn.
Self-determination is alluring. But, from the Garden onwards, it’s the root of sin.
I’m informed that Grabowski’s publisher, the estimable TAN Books, has decided not to bother listing the book at mega-retailer Amazon – this to avoid the travails of cancel culture that we witnessed when the smug and self-congratulatory “earth’s biggest store” refused to sell Ryan Anderson’s When Harry Became Sally, a book Professor Grabowski cites often.
The Amazonians, in concert with other leftist organizations, sincerely believe that a better world will only arise through the suppression of ideas that do not conform to the neo-Marxist rainbow they’re chasing. It’s almost inevitable, I fear, that Amazon will soon purge from its inventory any faithful Catholic book not written by a contributor to the National Catholic Reporter, Commonweal, or America magazine.
Prof. Grabowski ends where he began – back in Middle Earth, quoting Galadriel, the elven queen, (and this was Tolkien’s own view) that the culture war we’re fighting against gender ideology is “an engagement in. . .‘the long defeat.’” He explains:
Human beings and even the Church herself cannot by themselves overcome the powers of evil arrayed against them. But they do not have to because victory is assured – and not just at a future eschatological finale to history. This victory has been accomplished in Christ’s life, death, and Resurrection.
So be it – as long as we keep fighting, here and now.

We have written about how since the U.S. Supreme Court allowed gays to marry that Democrats have been the champions of so called “gay rights.”
But what about parent’s rights, children’s rights and human rights? What about science? What about the harm done to our children who are groomed to go gay?
The Democrat objective is to hold onto the trans-voter by pushing policies, programs and medical procedures that create more trans-voters.
Democrats and the Biden administration are working hard while they have the power to “groom” our children to be gay, non-binary, transsexual, lesbian, gay and members of the LGBTQ+ movement.
The Democrats are in full mode to turn our children and grandchildren into transsexuals. They are doing this using four key strategies: 1. Normalizing sodomy, 2. Promoting The LGBTQ+ agenda and homosexuality in our public schools via classes, gay porn in public school libraries and gay clubs, 3. Pushing gender change surgeries upon children as young as 12-years old and 4. making our children gender confused by unscientifically repeating the myth that there are more than two genders (XX-male and XY female).
Helping Biden and Democrats are media and social media (e.g. Facebook has over 60 gender pronouns), corporations (e.g. Apple adding a pregnant man and pregnant person emojis), the Walt Disney Corporation pushing the grooming of children to become transsexuals, public schools who allow homosexual cross dressers to read books to elementary school children, The DOD holding mandatory classes on “gender identity”, and Biden’s appointment of multiple non-binary (a.k.a. gender-queer) people to his cabinet and administration.
In the video below posted on on March 4, 2022 a Albemarle County principle and teachers discuss their elementary school “transgender advocacy program.”
In this edited clip of the full presentation, Mountain View Principal, Cyndi Wells, presides over a rambling seminar clearly intended to provide methods of elementary school student indoctrination in contemporary transgender culture, language, and comportment. Myriad concepts and techniques were presented with the underlying premise of “honoring” students’ gender “experiences” while pawkily flouting parental rights and involvement. [Emphasis added]
Public schools have pushed the idea that transsexuals are in danger and need to be protected from bullying when in fact it is these same public schools who are bullying children to become transsexuals.
Sydney Watson exposed a gender identity clinic in Texas that, until very, very recently, was performing double mastectomies on the healthy breasts of 12-year-olds, for the purpose of pediatric gender transition. This is the same clinic where Blaire White claimed to have been treated.
“Gonna go ahead and confirm that this is the clinic I was treated at,” White said in reply to Watson’s video on Twitter. “I’m sickened that I ever gave them my money.” White is a prominent YouTuber who underwent gender transition, but has been honest and forthright about that not changing the underlying biological sex.
I asked my friend @ArielleScarcell to call a clinic here in Texas that I'd been told performs breast removals ("top surgery") on children.
The clinic told Arielle that the surgeons operated on children 12 AND OVER. This is NUTS.
Since 2020, more families have been fleeing local district schools for other options. Homeschooling rates doubled in that year alone and remain high today. Home-based “pandemic pods” have evolved into established microschools and co-op arrangements that have worked better for many families than a conventional classroom. Catholic schools, like other private schools, were more likely to remain open while district schools were closed and have experienced their first enrollment hike in two decades. More students are now learning in virtual schools and charter schools than they were pre-pandemic.
Parents are recognizing that they have many more options for their children’s education and are continuing to abandon government-assigned district schools.
While it was understandable that parents might seek different learning settings for their children amidst 2020 school closures, new data suggests the exodus from district schools isn’t letting up.
[ … ]
The educational realignment from institutions to home- and community-based models that accelerated in 2020 isn’t slowing down. Now that parents and teachers have glimpsed educational possibilities beyond a traditional classroom, they are less willing to put up with the schooling status quo.

In a statement released last Friday, President Joe Biden celebrated “International Social Emotional Learning Day,” declaring, “I believe the government has a responsibility to support you.”
“One of the things we have gained during this time is a renewed understanding of how important it is to see one another, hear one another, and take care of one another, especially in times of challenge and need,” the proclamation reads. “That’s what International Social Emotional Learning Day is all about.”
Actually, what Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is all about is promoting the subversive, neo-Marxist race essentialism of Critical Race Theory (CRT).
“SEL is the Trojan horse through which critical race theory and gender ideology is injected into children’s heads,” Parents Defending Education (PDE) President and Founder Nicole Neily said. “Since 2018, SEL has had a destabilizing effect on children’s mental health and that must be stopped.”
SEL, an in-school “psychological training” for children, claims it teaches empathy, “advances educational equity,” and “can help address various forms of inequity and empower young people and adults to co-create thriving schools and contribute to safe, healthy, and just communities.”
Wherever the word “equity” rears its ugly head, social justice revolution is the aim.
PDE Director of Outreach Erika Sanzi wrote in a statement that SEL is “a lever for equity and social justice, more about the collective and less about the individual child’s development of important life skills. Lessons on sexual and gender identity, racial identity and social justice activism in the earliest elementary grades are part of SEL programming.”
And programming the impressionable minds of young children to become a generation of social justice activists is the Left’s sole educational mission.
Founded by the late Derrick Bell, critical race theory is an academic discipline which maintains that society is divided along racial lines into (white) oppressors and (black) victims, similar to the way Marxism frames the oppressor/victim dichotomy along class lines. Critical race theory contends that America is permanently racist to its core, and that consequently the nation’s legal structures are, by definition, racist and invalid. As Emory University professor Dorothy Brown puts it, critical race theory “seeks to highlight the ways in which the law is not neutral and objective but designed to support white supremacy and the subordination of people of color.”

The Jab is a war against the American people and so why are we holding drug companies harmless?
It’s time for Biden, Congress, the CDC and NIH to give Americans harmed by the vaccines the right to sue. It is important that pharmaceutical companies be held accountable for killing and maiming American citizens.
Democrats love to talk about human rights. Well isn’t it a human right to seek restitution for harm caused upon we the people by companies like Pfizer? Isn’t our government supposed to protect us not companies? Time to call the White House and your members of Congress. Tell them to lift the ban on suing drug companies that are killing and maiming our people.
The government of Thailand has paid more than $45 million as compensation to people who developed illnesses and injuries after receiving COVID=19 vaccine shots.
Thailand’s National Health Security Office said last week that from May 19, 2021, to March 8, 2022, a total of 15,933 people had filed complaints of negative reactions to COVID-19 vaccines.
The NHSO rejected 2,328 complaints after the agency ruled that the side-effects were not related to the vaccinations.
Of the rejected cases, 875 complainants are under appeal and 891 cases are pending consideration.
Over the weekend, WND reported data compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show the Millennial generation suffered a “Vietnam War event,” with more than 61,000 excess deaths in that age group in the second half of 2021, according to an analysis by a former Wall Street executive who made a career of crunching numbers to make big-dollar investment decisions.

UPDATE: We received the following statement from Congressman Steube: “House Democrats unveiled a 2,741 page bill consisting of $1.5 trillion dollars in federal spending that was voted on the same day. I voted against the 6.7% increase in non-defense spending which will have a drastic impact on our nation’s economy and will undoubtedly exacerbate the already-historic 40-year high inflation we are experiencing. The House separately voted on aid for Ukraine and defense funding, which I supported. I have been a strong advocate for sending military aid to help the Ukrainians defend themselves against Putin’s evil aggression. The Biden Administration has been weeks, if not months behind in handling Putin. There have been several opportunities to vote for new aid to Ukraine over the past few weeks, but Pelosi chose to play bureaucratic games instead,”said Rep. Greg Steube.
The co-chairs of Florida’s congressional delegation are Republican Rep. Vern Buchanan, and Democratic Rep. Alcee Hastings. Rep. Buchanan, as co-chair has great influence over the other members of the delegation when it comes time to voting on key policy issues such as government spending bills.
We weren’t shocked when we learned that eight members of the Florida delegation, including Buchanan, voted for the $1.5 trillion Omnibus Spending Bill.
Those Republicans from Florida who helped pass the $1.5 trillion bill were Representatives: Neal Dunn (FL-02), John Rutherford (FL-04), Scott Franklin (FL-15), Florida Congressional Delegationco-chair Vern Buchanan (FL-16), Greg Steube (FL-17), Brian Mast (FL-18), Carlos Gimenez (FL-26) and Marla Salaquez (FL-27).
If Buchanan had held the line on this massive government spending bill it would have sent a clear message. However, he didn’t!
Floridians woke up on October 17th to learn the government shutdown had ended and the debt ceiling had been raised. One of the key votes cast to pass the US Senate Budget Agreement was from Rep. Vern Buchanan (R – FL District 16).
[ … ]
Buchanan is one of eighty-seven Republicans who voted to fund the government, raise the debt ceiling and allow the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to move forward.Buchanan is the only representative from Florida on the powerful House Committee on Ways & Means. He also co-Chairs the twenty-seven member Florida Congressional delegation with Rep. Alcee Hastings (D – FL District 20).
And if this isn’t enough John Binder, from Breitbart News, on March 11, 2022 reported this about the Omnibus Spending bill that Buchanan voted for:
A Democrat spending bill, negotiated with Republicans, uses American taxpayer money to fund “border security” measures in eight foreign countries while including no new funds to construct a border wall along the United States-Mexico border.
The government funding package spends about $370 million in taxpayer money to fund “enhanced border security” in Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, and Oman. At least $150 million of that funding is allocated for Jordan’s borders.
Likewise, the package includes taxpayer money to fund border security in Libya, “border security activities” in Nepal, and “border security programs” in Pakistan.
Vern Buchanan a RINO or GOPe?
We’re wondering if Buchanan is now either a Republican In Name Only ( RINO) or a member of the Grand Old Party elite (GOPe) or both.
Buchanan has a history of siding with anti-American and anti-Florida causes, in addition to voting for Democrat policies.
Here is a list that we covered since his election to the Congress:
Buchanan has been endorsed by radical Environmentalists. Buchanan at on time listed on his Congressional website receiving the Ocean Champions Congressional Champion award. Under the Obama administration Ocean Champions supported the implementation of the National Ocean Policy on July 19, 2010, known as “Ocean Zoning.” This Obama era policy was fully supported by Ocean Champions and twelve other environment groups.
Buchanan has voted consistently to increase spending. See our comments on Buchanan’s latest vote to increase government spending.
Buchanan has refused efforts to explore off of Florida’s shore lines for oil and natural gas. At the start of March, 2017 U.S. Interior Sec. Ryan Zinke announced that 73 million acres in the Gulf would be open to drilling for five years starting in August. Up for reelection Republican Representative Vern Buchanan (FL – District 16) sent out a poorly phrased email asking about offshore drilling on Sunday, January 7, 2018. We found Buchanan’s email survey seriously flawed in four ways. First, the survey is unscientific. Second, respondents have no way of knowing who got the email and their level of knowledge on the topic of drilling for oil and natural gas in the Gulf Coast. Third, an individual on our staff answered the survey multiple times without being told that he had already voted. Fourth, the second possible answer to the question invokes the “precautionary principle.”
Buchanan at times says one thing to get elected then abandons those who elected him to do the opposite. His consistency on supporting liberal policies has been noted many times. He and his staff tend to ignore those who want him to hold the line on government spending.
Buchanan has sent constituents misleading and fake information as well as Al Gore like talking points about sea levels rising. In 2017 Buchanan sent out the following in an email with an accompanying ABC Channel 7 video: “Climate change is a serious issue for a state like Florida that has two coastlines vulnerable to rising waters. That’s why I am again calling on President Trump to reconsider his decision to withdraw the U.S. from the landmark Paris Climate Accord. Take a look at the video below and let me know what you think by replying to this email.” – Vern. Vern must’ve smiled when Biden, on the day of his inauguration, reentered the Paris Climate Agreement.
Buchanan even voted in favor of a “slush fund” to protect members of Congress against sexual abuse and harassment charges. Buchanan says he’s a Christian. If so where’s his morals? Why did he vote to provide money to protect possible sexual predators? Is this the kind of action you should or would expect from a moral man?
The Bottom Line
Vern Buchanan needs to be on the side of lower taxes, less government spending, pro-fossil fuels and against the Biden-Schumer-Pelosi cabal.
We wrote in 2020 that Florida must become energy independent because the Sunshine State imports 99% all of our oil, natural gas and refined petroleum products from other states.
Buchanan siding with the greens and Democrats has led to higher gasoline and diesel prices, higher costs for consumer goods and inflation due to higher government spending.
Buchanan and his fellow Florida delegation members who voted for higher spending are part of the problem.
American economist and statistician who received the 1976 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for his research on consumption analysis, monetary history and theory and the complexity of stabilization policy, Milton Friedman said,
“Inflation is an old, old disease. We’ve had thousands of years of experience of it. There is nothing simpler than stopping an inflation—from the technical point of view.
The only cure for inflation is to reduce the rate at which total spending is growing. There is no way of slowing down inflation that will not involve a transitory increase in unemployment, and a transitory reduction in the rate of growth of output. But these costs will be far less than the costs that will be incurred by permitting the disease of inflation to rage unchecked.”
The inflation that Floridians are experiencing isn’t just Biden’s but it’s also Buchanan’s. Biden and Buchanan did this. Make no mistake about it!
Alexandra Ocasio Cortez (AOC) is neither a climatologist or scientist. Before she was elected to Congress she was a bartender.
Nothing wrong with being a bartender but creating a program called ‘The Green New Deal’ is above her pay level.
Nevertheless the Biden White House is in the process of implementing AOC’s Green New Deal which was voted down by the Senate in 1979 by a vote of 57 Republicans against, and 47 Democrats voting present.
Not one Democrat Senator voted for it.
Can you think of any country other than the U.S. under Biden’s management that would vote to give up its energy independence?
Can’t think of one, because it never happened before.
Shortly after being sworn in as president Biden cancelled the Keystone XL pipeline. While electioneering he promised to do so and promised to put the fossil fuel business out of business. Few people understood by going to war against oil and gas that the U.S. would no longer be energy independent; or that U.S. security would be compromised plus high inflation would follow.
Everything we eat, drink or use is affected by the price of energy.
Before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, gasoline prices increased by about a dollar a gallon and natural gas rose as well. Biden’s claim that inflation is a result of the Russian-Ukraine war doesn’t wash.
We can thank AOC and the commitments Biden probably made to her to get her and the ‘Squad’ to support his election has resulted in our current state of affairs.
The White House has been pleading with Venezuela and Saudi Arabia to pump more oil to make up for Biden’s monumental error. How does this help climate change considering the U.S. produces cleaner energy than either of these countries?
It is high time for Congress and the Senate to take action to make the U.S. energy independent again and end Biden’s war on energy and the American people.

Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America
The story is Fake News about my plane being “mothballed” in Stewart Airfield in Newburgh, New York because “I didn’t think I would need it until 2025.” My plane, a Boeing 757, is going through a major scheduled maintenance program, which will be completed in approximately 90 days. It will then be put back into service. I was not allowed to use it during the Presidency, and didn’t.
We are seeing attacks increasing against the 79 million who voted for President Donald J. Trump. President Trump has consistently called the media “fake news” and the media continues to prove him right. It’s like watching dumb and dumber when reading the New York Times.
At the root of my sadness is the fact that my black family and friends are disciples of the Gospel of Democrats and Fake News Media. Whatever these two wicked entities tell them, they believe. God says allowing someone or something to trump His word is idolatry.
Eagles fly alone. “…all that will live godly in Christ Jesus suffer persecution.” (2 Timothy 3:12) Christians are martyred around the world. Therefore, complaining about deceived fellow blacks disapproving of my politics is hardly worth mentioning.
Still, it is extremely frustrating that facts nor commonsense seem to penetrate my family and friends blind loyalty to the far-left-extremist, hate-generating, anti-Christian, and anti-American Democratic Party.

We must stand together as Americans while praying for God’s strength to be like Daniel in the Bible. Tell the Democrats, fake news media, ANTIFA, and Black Lives Matter that we “ain’t” kneeling nor worshiping their vile false gods of social-justice, socialism and communism.
While Lloyd has passed away, his legacy of telling the truth lives on.
The Attack on Individualist Conservatism
The attacks against Trump are in reality an attack on every freedom loving patriot. Individualism and Conservative/Christian values founded this nation.
As Ayn Rand pointed out:
“America’s founding ideal was the principle of individual rights. Nothing more—and nothing less. The rest—everything that America achieved, everything she became, everything “noble and just,” and heroic, and great, and unprecedented in human history—was the logical consequence of fidelity to that one principle. The first consequence was the principle of political freedom, i.e., an individual’s freedom from physical compulsion, coercion or interference by the government. The next was the economic implementation of political freedom: the system of capitalism.”
Individual rights trump the “vile false gods of social-justice, socialism and communism.”
If you blinked you might have missed the momentous occasion of the release of the second part of the UN IPCC’s sixth assessment report of how we’re all going to die unless we all board jets and attend global warming conferences. Or give lots of money to those officials who do it for us.
Since no one reads these things anyway, by the time the fourteenth chapter of the second part of the sixth assessment rolled around, everyone was drunk and decided to take shots at conservatives.
Chapter 14 was on North America and warned of the threat posed by “individualistic” conservatives who refuse to accept “collective responsibility” for driving pickup trucks.

The IPCC, or Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which changes its predictions of the incoming apocalypse more often than a phone psychic, is very upset about misinformation. [Emphasis added]
Do you seen the pattern? First is was don’t criticize Biden, Covid mandates or report on the ill effects and deaths from getting the Covid vaccine. Then is went to don’t report on or criticize Biden and his administration for the failed pullout from Afghanistan, the Russian invasion of the Ukraine and sky rocking energy prices.
Then it was Biden’s DOJ who classified parents as “domestic terrorists” when they attend school board meetings and spoke out about what their children are taught in public schools and the pornographic books in public school libraries and have gay crossdressing males giving classes promoting homosexuality and the LGBT lifestyle to elementary students.
Now it’s all about if you drive a truck you are destroying the planet and you are labeled an evil “individualist conservative.:
It is now the truth versus myths and lies told by the media, social media, Biden, Democrats and the Democrat Party.
Today speaking the truth has become a revolutionary act indeed.
