Debunking the Economic Fallacies in Hugh Jackman and Robert Reich’s Simpsons Episode

/in , , , , , , , /by

There are lots of things they got wrong.

In Sunday’s season finale of the Simpsons, former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich teamed up with Hugh Jackman to do a musical act about economics. The act focused on inequality and the demise of the middle class, and argued that “greedy rich men” are responsible for declining wages and lower standards of living.

A few days before, Reich tweeted out a preview of the act.

While many may find themselves agreeing with Reich, the truth of the matter is that this clip is full of economic fallacies. Let’s break them down one at a time.

The clip starts off with this line from Reich.

“The decline of unions, rampant corporate greed, Wall Street malfeasance, and the rise of short-sighted politics all contributed to increased economic inequality, widespread real unemployment, wage stagnation, and a lower standard of living for millions of Americans.”

When Reich says “rampant corporate greed,” a graph is shown depicting rising corporate profits. The implication seems to be that excessive greed is what causes high profits.

The reasoning typically goes as follows: greedy employers pay their employees less and charge their customers more in order to increase their margins. The problem with this reasoning is that it assumes managers have far more power to set wages and prices than they actually have.

The reality is, business owners are subject to the discipline of the market. If they try to pay their employees less than the going rate for their labor, the employees will simply go work for someone else. If they try to charge their customers more than the going rate for the product, their customers will buy from someone else.

So, a business owner may want to rip off their workers and customers as a means of increasing their margins, but the reality is that they can’t, at least not for long.

So if entrepreneurs can’t get ahead by being extra greedy, what sets apart the successful ones from the unsuccessful ones? In reality, it’s a combination of luck, good foresight of market conditions, good management skills, and, quite frankly, the extent to which you can convince the government to rig the market in your favor (this happens way more than most people realize).

In the second part of his opening line, Reich claims that there is “wage stagnation, and a lower standard of living for millions of Americans.” This is misleading at best. If we’re talking about nominal wages (the number on the paycheck), those have clearly gone up. But even looking at real wages (what your wages can buy), it’s hard to say those have stagnated. As Marian L. Tupy explains for Human Progress, even though average hourly earnings haven’t changed much when adjusted for inflation, that number ignores other important factors such as non-wage benefits (which have increased significantly) and improvements in the quality of goods.

The claim that standards of living are going down is also problematic. Consider a typical American household in the 1970s compared to today. Think about the change in access to appliances, phones, computers, TVs, cameras, and such. Intuition makes clear—and the data bear this out—that standards of living are indeed increasing across the board.

If you’re still not convinced, just ask yourself, would you rather live in the 1970s—a time before the internet, smartphones, and streaming services—or today?

The musical act continues with the following line. “They chopped salaries to raise stock prices, cut up the pie and kept all the slices.”

The second part of that line is a reference to the idea that there’s only so much wealth to go around, and workers only get a small portion of that wealth, while most of it goes to the rich and powerful. The problem here is that Reich is assuming wealth is a fixed pie, which means the rich get richer by “keeping slices” for themselves instead of distributing them to others.

In reality, the pie is not fixed. It can get bigger. Under a fixed pie model, the only way to become better off is at the expense of someone else. One person has to lose in order for someone else to gain. But in the real economy, most of what happens is win-win transactions. When a business trades a product with a consumer, they are both better off. The pie has increased in size. No one is “keeping slices” from anyone else. Sure, some people might be more productive and end up with more money, but in a free market you make money by benefiting others, not by taking from them.

The next line of the act goes as follows. “Tax breaks went to CEOs, never trickling down to average Joes.”

This is a clear dig at “trickle-down economics,” which is essentially the idea that when the rich become even more rich, their extra money will “trickle-down” to the lower class, making the poor better off as well.

The left loves to use this term in debates. The moment anyone suggests cutting corporate taxes or taking it easy on the rich, they immediately get a grin on their face and say, “actually, trickle-down economics has been debunked.”

The problem with this line is quite simple: trickle-down economics isn’t even a thing. No serious economist claims that the money from the rich would somehow spill over to the lower classes if only they had more.

Briefly, the actual reason economists favor taking it easy on the rich is because, unlike the government, rich people tend to invest in businesses that grow the economy, leading to more abundance and higher standards of living for everyone. But that’s not trickle-down economics. That’s just economics. And you’ve got your work cut out for you if you want to debunk that.

While the fallacies presented in the Simpsons clip are egregious enough, what really makes this clip inaccurate is what they didn’t say. They completely left out the harmful impact of government regulations on the economy. There was no mention of trade barriers, cronyism, or any of the other things the government does that make life hard for the poor.

Despite our rising standards of living, there are still real problems in the economy. But we won’t be able to solve them until we dispense with economic fallacies and take the time to learn what’s actually causing them.

Company Contrast: Kirkland’s

/in , , , , /by

Each week 2ndVote takes a look at popular companies that either score well or score poorly  and then try to provide alternatives that either better align with the 2ndVote values or should be avoided to the best of your ability. This series is called The Company Contrast, and the company we will be focusing on this week is Kirkland’s (3.06).

Founded in Jackson, Tennessee in 1966, Kirkland’s has grown to be among the top home décor retailers of choice for many shoppers that seek quality products at competitive prices. With roughly 430 stores across 37 states in the U.S., many of which are the result of an effort to branch out from their mall-based roots to independent storefront locations, Kirkland’s has gained a following of return customers over the years. Their seasonal approach to product selection and themes has become the retailer’s bread and butter, oftentimes completely redecorating entire store spaces for upcoming holidays. Fortunately for 2ndvote shoppers, Kirkland’s has also chosen to largely stay out of the socio-political activism space that other companies seem to chase; many of which simply froth at the mouth to jump on the latest woke trend du jour. Even better is that the minor activism that Kirkland’s has engaged in is focused on providing aid and services to homeless veterans through their partnership with The Building Lives Foundation; a worthy cause that has earned Kirkland’s points on the issue of Civil-Safe Society for supporting veteran initiatives.

On the other hand, 2ndVote shoppers should do all that they can to avoid competitors like Bed, Bath, & Beyond (1.21). Once upon a time Bed, Bath, & Beyond scored relatively decently, but they have since gone the way of the woke and their scores on all issues have dropped dramatically over the last year or so. Not only did they get caught up in the MyPillow controversy, leading them to cut ties with the pillow company and their CEO, Mike Lindell, but the home décor retailer has also offered up large donations to organizations like the NAACP, which has partnered with Planned Parenthood, whose CEO has called for widespread gun control, supports Common Core, and much more. This kind of activism has earned rock bottom scores on most issues for Bed, Bath, & Beyond. So the next chance you get, be sure to send a message to both companies through the 2ndVote website; encouraging Kirkland’s to stay strong in their neutrality, and to admonish Bed, Bath, & Beyond for contributing to the woke mob!

This woman [Linda Goudsmit] has done the research and knows exactly what’s bedeviling America

This woman has done the research and knows exactly what’s bedeviling America

By Bruce Deitrick Price

Bruce Deitrick Price: The big problem for all of us is to grasp the entirety of your work.  So my first question is, what is the broad concern that ties together all this research?

Linda Goudsmit: The most important thing is to realize that globalism is at war with the nation-state.  I am talking about globalism as an ideology and political force that seeks to reorder the world from the existing system of independent nation-states into one single global nation-state ruled by themselves, of course.  But globalism cannot succeed without collapsing the United States.  So we face an alliance of convenience among the far-left progressives, Deweyites, socialists, Marxists, doctrinaire communists, totalitarians — all advancing their own anti-American agendas in common cause.  If you oppose them, you are a threat who must be crushed.

BDP: Yes, that sounds right.  So tell us how the aggressors operate.

LG: Relentlessly is the one best word.  The re-education programming begins long before college.  Sesame Street creatures are not advocating individual growth, independence, critical thinking, excellence, and the merit system, which support capitalism and democracy.  They are advocating groupthink, dependence, mediocrity, and collectivism, preparing your children for living under socialism.  In the beginning of the book, I warn the reader, “There is an old saying in family businesses: the first generation starts a business. The second generation runs it.  The third generation ruins it.”  Metaphorically, our American family business is now in its third generation.

BDP: I’ve long suspected that the  American public does not see how truly vast is the enemy’s project, and how ruthless and thorough they are.

LG: Students already indoctrinated toward collectivism enter the university passive, unaware, compliant, and primed for re-education.  The socialist re-education curriculum at the university reinforces their passivity, and students graduate uninformed, disinformed, and misinformed, with degrees in the orthodoxy of leftism and its tyrannical demands for conformity.

BDP: What’s the philosophy, the book, or the person that most influenced your views today?

LG: Probably Erich Fromm in his 1941 classic Escape from Freedom.  I read the book in college and was struck by Fromm’s extraordinary discussion of freedom as a complex psychological construct, not just a political one.  He explains that political freedom, though it brings man independence and rationality, has made him feel isolated, which can lead to anxiety and a sense of powerlessness.

I realized in college that freedom is not only a choice; it is an adult enterprise psychologically.  Today, the psychological/political nexus of freedom is exploited to condition young children toward collectivism rather than individualism.  It is a monstrous abuse of power.

BDP: CRT is for me symbolic of what gimmicks the left will try.  I prefer to translate CRT as Communist Race Tactics.  Hopefully, it will backfire.  What’s your take?

LG: CRT not only foments racial tension; it also creates family tension.  Conservative parents who reject the racism inherent in CRT are scorned by their propagandized children.  Educational indoctrination toward Marxism/communism and racist CRT in schools across America is an attack on the conservative American family that begins in K–12 and extends through the university level.  Impressionable children not only reject their parents’ conservative values; they reject their parents and rupture the family.

CRT is not the only anti-American element of educational indoctrination.  Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is far more insidious because it replaces parental authority with state authority inside the schools.  Instead of being taught basic skills and foundational knowledge, children are being parented with SEL in schools by teachers/change agents.

BDP: I think of these invaders as the new Mongols, a weird kind of barbarian.  They think of themselves as intellectuals.  That’s why they’re always playing mind games.  What’s your umbrella term?

LG: Socialist is a good word.  Centuries of American parents preparing their children for independence and the launch into responsible adulthood are being disparaged, discredited, and replaced by a socialist movement determined to keep the children eternally dependent.

BDP: The phrase socialist movement makes it sound almost ordinary and harmless.  What  I like about your work is you spell out how extremely malevolent the movement is.

LG: I try to show how the infantilization of America using the COVID-19 fear campaign, scientism, educational indoctrination, and the associated media propaganda has successfully resulted in families rupturing over what is truth and reality.

Decades of educational indoctrination have undermined family unity by challenging parental authority and traditional American values.

BDP: That’s a sad, big truth.  To reach their goals, they have to completely debase people into something smaller and more manipulatable.

LG: Freedom requires its citizens to live in the adult world of objective reality, where they cannot be bamboozled.  Rational adulthood is the defense against insanity and enslavement, because freedom is an adult enterprise.

BDP: I think the left takes pride in destruction.  Nihilism is finally all that the left has to offer.  Your final thoughts?

LG: Today’s globalist war on America is being fought over the most precious of natural resources: the children.  Parents and grandparents must fight the war for the children, or they will lose the war for the children.  There is nothing in between — and the globalist enemy knows it.

BDP: Thank you for your extraordinary work.

PS: In her section on illiteracy (pages 42–44), Linda Goudsmit indicates that my demolition of sight-words is the best she has seen.  As she is an indefatigable researcher, this is quite a compliment.

Bruce Deitrick Price’s new novel is Frankie, a cozy thriller inspired by advances in AI and robots.  For more info, visit Frankie.zone.

US Officer Risked It All Refusing Pentagon Vaccine Order, Navy Board Unanimously Confirmed He Did the Right Thing

By Warner Todd Huston

A U.S. Navy board delivered a rare rebuke to the Pentagon after finding in favor of a COVID-19 vaccine objector in a unanimous decision that questioned the lawfulness of the vaccine mandate.

The case that came before the Navy’s nine-member administrative separation board struck a blow for members of the U.S. military all across the board and could serve as a precedent — leading to the end of the COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

Navy Lt. William Moseley has over 22 years of experience and currently works as a systems test officer on the USS Bunker Hill. He states that he has over 22 years of experience, according to his Linkedin.

Moseley wanted to refuse to take the vaccine over religious objections, but upon learning that the Pentagon was issuing blanket denials for exemptions, instead of simply filing for the exemption, he decided to take his case straight to the board, according to Just the News.

“Lt. Moseley opposes the vaccine for religious reasons and could have submitted a religious accommodation request; however, when he learned that the Navy and the other services intended to implement a blanket denial policy, he began to prayerfully consider other options,” a press release from his legal representative read.

“After consulting with legal and medical experts, he became convinced that as an officer he had an obligation to take a stand against the unlawful order and be a voice for thousands of enlisted Sailors.

“Lt. Moseley risked his 22-year-career and his military retirement because of his faith and his commitment to his oath of office as a military leader,” the statement added.

The Pentagon has ruled that members of the military who have refused the vaccine are acting insubordinate.

The board ruled on Friday in Lt. Moseley’s favor and found that he “did not commit misconduct by refusing the COVID-19 injection” and ruled “unanimously that Moseley should be retained in the United States Navy.”

Mosely’s attorney, R. Davis Younts, based the case on the fact that the government cannot force members of the military to take “experimental” medications, and therefore, the COVID-19 vaccine mandate is not a lawful order, according to Just the News.

Indeed, Younts demonstrated that the initially mandated vaccine was not an FDA-approved drug and further showed that the military has not made the FDA-approved vaccine available to military members.

Younts added that with the favorable decision “we are encouraged that the truth was revealed in this Board, and we hope this ground-breaking case sends a strong message to the Department of Defense,” according to Just the News.

Lt. Moseley could have simply accepted retirement and finished with the whole situation, but he risked being cashiered out of the service dishonorably if the board had ruled in favor of the Navy.

It appears that Moseley is the first career officer to win his vaccine case before the board.

Any officer who has held his commission for more than six years has the right to appeal decisions before the board, and fortunately for Moseley, the board’s decision on retention is binding on the service.

Younts said that the board’s new precedent “puts the Navy in an interesting position” concerning other officers — and, perhaps, even enlisted personnel — who are threatened with separation over refusing the COVID-19 vaccine.

According to the Military Times, about 3,400 members of the U.S. military have been involuntarily separated from service for refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Most have been given a general discharge, which allows them to retain their veteran’s benefits and allows them to rejoin the military after proving vaccination.

The U.S. military began the process of separating soldiers from the service in December 2021.

The Times added that by April the Marine Corps dismissed one percent of its forces over the vaccine, releasing 1,968 corpsmen. Further, the Navy shed .2 percent of its force with 798 dismissals, the Army separated 345 soldiers, a .07 percent loss, and the Air Force dumped 287 airmen, a .04 percent reduction of its forces.

Like Moseley, there are still some service members in each branch working their cases through the system, so more dismissals are yet to come.

This lends credence to Lt. Moseley’s contention that the Pentagon had issued a policy of blanket denials of exemptions despite tens of thousands of requests across all branches. As of the April 27, the Air Force had only handed out nine exemptions, the Marine Corps approved three, and the Army but one, the Times reported.

Huston has appeared on Fox News, Fox Business Network, CNN and several local Chicago news programs to discuss the issues of the day. Additionally, he is a regular guest on radio programs from coast to coast. Huston has also been a Breitbart News contributor since 2009. Warner works out of the Chicago area, a place he calls a “target-rich environment” for political news.

Lastly, is the one that may cost the American taxpayers a bundle.  The below article reports that 500 military members have just sued the government for forcing them to take the clot shot that never gained full approval status.  I’m not sure how the court will deal with this one because the Ferris Doctrine generally prevents military members from suing.  If successful, however, it will come with a huge price tag for American taxpayers.

Do we even have a physically fit, battle-ready military at present.

EXCLUSIVE: Over 500 Military Service Members Sue the Government for Mandating a Vaccine that Was Not FDA Approved and Should Not Have Been Administered

Over 500 service members filed a suit against the government on Monday.  These individuals argue that the vaccine mandate forced on the military was not approved and therefore should never have been administered to the military. 

Around 520 military service members filed a suit on Monday against the government.  Their primary argument is that the vaccine mandate is illegal because there is no approved vaccine available in the US. This means that approximately 55% ( amount vaccinated since the August 23, 2021 mandate from the Secretary of Defense (SecDef) ) of the military have been vaccinated illegally and under duress.

This case comes after last week’s ruling where a Navy Officer was found innocent of wrongdoing when he didn’t take the COVID vaccine.  The Officer in the case, LT Bill Moseley, claimed he had the duty to not take the vaccine since the one administered by the military was not approved by the FDA.

Unbelievable What the Army is Letting ‘Woke’ Soldiers Do

/in , , , , , /by

My God! Now we have “compassionate reassignments” if the state soldiers are assigned to discriminates against LGBTQMxyzers.

What The Army Is Letting Woke Soldiers Do Explains Why We’ve Lost So Many Wars….

The US Army is circulating a draft policy tweak that would allow soldiers to request to move if they feel state or local laws discriminate against them based on gender, racism(?), or abortion.

The policy, dubbed “compassionate reassignment” will permit soldiers to request a transfer to a different base if they feel state or local laws discriminate against them due to their gender identity.

In effect, it would allow soldiers to declare certain states to be too racist or homophobic for them to live there.

Sources with direct knowledge of the plans said the updated guidance was drafted in response to several state laws – but before a draft of a possible Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v Wade was leaked.

WATCH: EMMA | THE CALLING | GOARMY

In a May 19th, 2022 Military.com article titled “Soldiers Facing Discrimination from State Laws Could Request Transfers Under Draft Army Policy” Steve Beynon reported,

The Army is circulating a draft policy tweak that would specify that soldiers can request to move if they feel state or local laws discriminate against them based on gender, sex, religion, race or pregnancy, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the plans.

The guidance, which would update a vague service policy to add specific language on discrimination, is far from final and would need approval from Army Secretary Christine Wormuth. But if enacted, it could be one of the most progressive policies for the force amid a growing wave of local anti-LGBTQ and restrictive contraception laws in conservative-leaning states, where the Army does most of its business.

The policy would ostensibly sanction soldiers to declare that certain states are too racist, too homophobic, too sexist or otherwise discriminatory to be able to live there safely and comfortably.

“Some states are becoming untenable to live in; there’s a rise in hate crimes and rise in LGBT discrmination,” Lindsay Church, executive director of Minority Veterans of America, an advocacy group, told Military.com. “In order to serve this country, people need to be able to do their job and know their families are safe. All of these states get billions for bases but barely tolerate a lot of the service members.”

Father of Shooting Victim Has a Simple 3-Point Plan to Protect Schools and it Doesn’t Ban Guns

/in , , , , , , /by

UPDATE: Biden Looks Absolutely CLUELESS as Uvalde Residents Boo

I, like every other God loving, law abiding American grieve for the 19 children and 2 adults murdered by a mentally insane, Evil young man apparently using AR-15 style semi-auto rifles BUT the gun(s) he used did not commit these terrible crimes; he and the Devil did.

It also appears, just like the Parkland, Florida’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School killings in 2018, to have been entirely preventable had School and District Administrators not been negligent.  We know from MSD case law enforcement and both the FBI and Sheriff levels were negligent as well but we the jury is still out in the case in the Texas shootings; we do know they stalled for 45 mins before a brave Border Patrol Agent took it upon himself to move in and kill the murderer.

A Dad of a child killed in FL school shooting is right below and I mentioned most of what he said during my brief presentation at WH 912 meeting Thursday night starting with “We don’t need more gun control”  Rather What we Need are:.

  •  Physically secure schools, not ones with unlocked doors and gates that shooters can easily enter classrooms thru.
  •   Armed, trained Resource Officers or Security Guards such as we have in FL in every school under the Sentinel/Guardian program
  •   Armed, trained school personnel which FL law allows but School District Administrators & most County Sheriffs have been against for no good reasons.
  •   LE standard operating procedures to run to the sound of gunfire in schools, without delay. rather than waiting to “develop the intel or the situation”
  • Better identification and care for mentally unstable people especially those known to others like medical, LE and education officials as potentially dangerous.

This is especially true when these murderers are sending threatening signals over social media.  We need the legion of leftist social media watchdogs and algorithms to be more concerned with actual threats of violence than censoring conservative speech they wrongly find to be “hateful speech” because of differences in political ideologies. Both Cruz in Florida and Ramos in Texas had sociopathic issues broadcast over social media.

We don’t need the Federal Government and the Department of IN-JUSTICE “administrative deep state” dictating unconstitutional policies and a leftist Congress or RINO State Legislators overreacting and passing laws and implementing witch hunt procedures impacting law abiding gun owners from exercising their 1st, 2nd, 4th  5th and 14th Amendment rights by mis-labeling them “domestic terrorists”, “white supremacists” etc.

This is disinformation designed to scare them from speaking out against the socialist/Marxist/communist policies of the O’Biden Administration.

Gird yourself, another round of emotionally driven, non-fact based, barrage of gun control efforts are own their way!

Father of School Shooting Victim Has 3-Point Plan to Protect Schools – And It Doesn’t Involve Banning Guns

Andrew Pollack — the father of Meadow Pollack, who was murdered in the 2018 Parkland, Florida, high school shooting — said he was “so angry” after learning of Tuesday’s elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, because it could have been prevented.

As Democrats, including President Joe Biden, have tried to use the tragedy that resulted in the deaths of 21 people to once again argue for more gun-control laws, Pollack countered that is not the answer.

“We shouldn’t be focusing on gun control now. Parents should be focused on what they can do. They could learn and educate themselves,” he told Fox News Wednesday.

“We should be looking at what we can be doing to fix these things in schools. A single point of entry. How did the intruder get into the school? It should be locked down. We need school resource officers. And it’s just terrible to think that this was all avoidable,” Pollack further stated.

The Floridian also tweeted a simple three-point plan to make the schools safer, offering what is needed is 1) an armed guard; 2) a single point of entry; and 3) teacher training.

“We send out $Billions to other countries all the time. Why not fund school safety in America?” Pollack asked.

National Geographic Magazine Goes Woke And Falls For The Climate Change Myth

/in , , , , , , , , /by

“The great enemy of truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest, but the myth – persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.” – John F. Kennedy

It appears that National Geographic has fallen for another climate change hoax. In a May 25th, 2022 National Geographic article titled “Climate change is eroding a precious resource: sleep” Alejandra Borunda reported,

Now a new study links sleep loss—and by extension, all the problems that come with it—with climate change. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen found that ever-warmer nighttime temperatures, nudged higher by climate change, push bedtimes later and wake times earlier, costing us precious nighttime rest.

Sleepers tracked in the study, published last week in the journal One Earth, lost rest even in places where temperatures weren’t blazingly high, and had trouble adapting to even mildly challenging sleep temperatures. And sleep costs, the researchers warn, will rise as temperatures do, potentially costing sleepers—that is, all of us—an extra 13 to 15 days of poor sleep each year by the end of the century.

Click here to view the image that National Geographic uses for this article. If I lived in this hovel sleeping on a concrete floor, I could understand why I can’t get any sleep too.

Let me get this straight, global warming can cause you to lose sleep?

The revised and expanded third edition of Hot Talk, Cold Science by distinguished astrophysicist Dr. S. Fred Singer’s lucid, yet hard, scientific look at climate change.

Singer explores the inaccuracies in historical climate data, the limitations on and failures of climate models, solar variability along with the effects of clouds, ocean currents, and sea levels on global climate, plus factors that could mitigate any human impact on world climate.

Singer’s masterful analysis decisively shows that the pessimistic, and often alarming, global warming scenarios depicted in the media have no scientific basis. In fact, he finds that many aspects of increased CO2 levels as well as any modest warming, such as a longer growing season for food and a reduced need to use fossil fuels for heating, would have a highly positive impact on the human race. Further, Singer notes how many proposed “solutions” to the global warming “crisis” (like “carbon” taxes) would have severe consequences for economically disadvantaged groups and nations.

Who’s Behind One Earth?

To understand one must look at who founded One Earth. Both the founder President Justin Winters and co-founder and Deputy Director Karl Burkart of One Earth were the Executive Director  and Director of Media, Science & Technology at the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation respectively. In July 2019 the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation (LDF), Emerson Collective, and Global Wildlife Conservation merged. They’re now know as Earth Alliance. According to their website,

Earth Alliance, a new organization to help address the urgent threats to our planet’s life support systems – born out of the shared passion of its founding co-chairs: environmental activist and Academy Award®-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio, businesswoman and philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs, and investor and philanthropist Brian Sheth.

Launched in response to a growing climate crisis and staggering loss of biodiversity threatening the stability of life on Earth, the Alliance marks a shared commitment to addressing these intertwined threats.

These are radical environmentalists with the goal to further the myth of global cooling, global warming and climate change. They are in bed with the current administration.

CNN jumped on board with this sleep loss stating,

People around the world are likely to lose 50 to 58 hours of sleep a year by 2099 due to the climate crises, a new study revealed.

[ … ]

Adults should get seven to nine hours of sleep, according to the National Sleep Foundation. The likelihood of getting less than seven hours of sleep increased by 3.5% if minimum outside nighttime temperatures exceeded 77 degrees Fahrenheit (25 degrees Celsius) compared with the baseline temperature of 41 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit (5 to 10 degrees Celsius), the study found.

Saava.com provides this chart titled Sleep recommendations by age:

Age Group Age Range Recommended Amount of Sleep
Newborns 0-3 months old 14-17 hours of sleep
Infants 4-11 months old 12-15 hours of sleep
Toddlers 1-2 years old 11-14 hours of sleep
Pre-schoolers 3-5 years old 10-13 hours of sleep
School-aged kids 6-13 years old 9-11 hours of sleep
Teenagers 14-17 years old 8-10 hours of sleep
Young adults 18-25 years old 7-9 hours of sleep
Adults 26-64 years old 7-9 hours of sleep
Older adults 65+ years old 7-8 hours of sleep

The Bottom Line

The older you get the less sleep you need. Get it? Got it? Good.

The climate has nothing to do with it.

So who does this really impact, if anyone at all? Those who don’t have central air-conditioning. So by 2099 approximately 3.5% of you could get less sleep by sleeping in temperatures over 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Hmmmmm. How about your turn your thermostats down!

Don’t have central air-conditioning? Then you need to get it or god forbid 3.5% of you’ll will lose some sleep.

Do you see how insane this is? It’s a myth that can’t be proven until 2099.

As alarmists clamor to impose draconian government restrictions on entire populations in order to combat “climate change,” Dr. S. Fred Singer in Hot Talk, Cold Science reveals some startling, stubborn contradictory facts, including:

  • CO2 has not caused temperatures or sea levels to rise beyond historical rates.
  • Severe storms have not increased in frequency or intensity since 1970—neither have heat waves nor droughts.
  • Global change is not harming coral reefs.
  • Any increases in CO2 concentrations across huge time spans (there have been a few) haven’t preceded rising global temperatures; they’ve followed them by about six to eight hundred years—just the opposite of alarmist claims.
  • Alarmist climate scientists have hidden their raw temperature data and deleted emails—then undermined the peer-review system to squelch debate.

An thus ends this lesson on the many myths of climate change. Get to bed and get some sleep.

The Kremlin’s Ruthless WWIII vs. American Marxism

/in , , , , , /by

To the memory of our heroes fighting Socialism/Communism globally.

The significance and goal of Information, I have learned from the KGB Chairman Yuri Andropov in the 1960th Russia. “The information is the most precious commodity in politics” he said. Then in the 1960th I didn’t pay attention to that definition, the importance of information came to my mind in America, when I realized that our Intelligence and the FBI had no clue about the Russian colossal Intelligence Apparatus. They had no idea about the strategy, tactics, methods, and dirty tricks of the sick minds. The absence of that knowledge has allowed Apparatus to inflict a huge damage to us with impunity. It vividly and intensely came up in the recent creation of Biden’s Disinformation Governance Board—a typical Soviet trick—the government investigates its own honesty by misinforming us…

From Stalin to Putin and Biden’s America

I have written a lot of pages about disinformation, it is the youngest sister of Stalinist Political Correctness. They have the same purpose, agenda and the methods of management. Stalinist PC was aimed at hiding and masking the Truth and replacing it with Stalinist Dogma of Socialism. Here is my definition of PC. “…Political Correctness is a Stalinist policy, driven by the political agenda, a skillfully crafted design of a quintessential system of lies, fraud, and a long-term strategy of war against Western civilization to create of One World Socialist Government under Kremlin’s rule.”  To hide or musk the Truth is the common agenda of Stalinist PC and Disinformation in America. Read my column Political Correctness and the Socialist Revolution in America October 31, 2019

Elon Musk is right: Truth is the first casualty in politics. Yes, Truth has become the first casualty a hundred years ago with establishment of Soviet Socialism by Joseph Stalin. I am talking about Stalinist Socialism, which I called Soviet Fascism. History is the Mother of all sciences and talking about Marxism in America, you at list should know Marxist Theory. I know it and want you to read the general postulates of the Theory, where Marx identified in detail the tasks, agendas, and ways to achieve them two hundred years ago as follows:

  • First, developing the tasks and agenda—“overthrowing the capitalist economic system and establishing socialism” as a basis for the creation of a classless communist society in the future.
  • Second, the strategy to fulfill the tasks and agenda—through world revolution.
  • Third, the world revolution would occur under the leadership of the proletariat. “Proletariats of the world unite!” was their slogan.
  • Fourth, Marxist theory was to be limited to industrially developed European countries.

First, the Theory identifies and recognized the plan and agenda—“overthrowing the capitalist economic system and establishing socialism.” Moreover, the Theory repeated its requirement in the fours postulate: Pay attention to Marx’s fourth postulate. It is perhaps the only logical and economically sustainable position, that is, “Marxist theory can be applied only to industrially developed European countries.” Russia was an agricultural country and therefore had to be categorically excluded from the possibility of “overthrowing the capitalist economic system and establishing socialism” Ironically, it has happened despite Marx’s first and fourth postulates: the first Socialist Revolution took place in Russia in October 1917. On the contrary to Marx by using and perverting Marxist rhetoric to further his ends, Joseph Stalin created his own ideology and established a criminal syndicate, a totalitarian machine called Soviet Socialism.

The leader of the Russian Socialist Revolution, Vladimir Lenin has known Marx’s postulates and stated that Russia as an agricultural country can’t proceed the Marxist way: he stated that “we will go the other way.” He died in 1924 and Joseph Stalin usurped an unlimited power in Russia. The building of Stalinist Soviet Socialism began with ruthless methods against the opposition of White Army in the 1920th. The same methods and tactics had been applied against the entire population. You can read about the horror committed by Stalinist Law Enforcement and Intelligence in my book: What is Happening to America? The Hidden Truth of Global Destruction, updated and republished in 2022.

As a person who had studied Marxism-Leninism and lived half of my life under Soviet Socialism, I am writing about that Stalinist Socialism for the last thirty years. As a former Soviet attorney, I know how it had been constructed and implemented by Stalinist brutal forces in the 1930th throughout the 11 time zones of the USSR. In 1960th those who had survived the notorious viciousness of Stalinist Intelligence and escaped the slaughter, came to my office with their horrific stories. Those were the same stories that have changed George Orwell’s mindset in politics. The following decades have not changed a lot in Russia; they brought to power Stalin’s devoted disciple Vladimir Putin and his notorious KGB mafia/Army. Read my previous column about George Orwell and his masterpieces books that had been a result of the information from Stalinist Soviet Socialism…

Biden’s ‘Ministry of Truth’ put on hold for now and the Disinformation Czar resigned. Yet, we have multiple crises at home and abroad. Don’t be surprised, they all have derived from the same cause and the same source—Russia. America witnessed the Socialist Revolution orchestrated by Putin’s KGB Mafia/Army and nobody understands and reacts accordingly to stop it today. Where is the FBI, where are all 17 Intelligence agencies? The answer to the questions is simple: Neither of them knows Russia, her Intel, which has been spreading the ideology of Soviet Socialism for the last hundred years. As a former Soviet defense attorney, I had known it would come to America and I warned you in my writings for the last thirty years…

The Pentagon now declassified a report researching UFOs for sixty years and had no answer to the main query: whether it is a physical object or not. I think, this is a result of the Intel’s incompetence, they don’t know enemy and called them the Radical Left. Very wrong! I have been writing about Socialist Charlatans for the last twenty years and the proper name of the Radical Left is Socialist Charlatans. Had our Intel know Russia’s dirty tricks, it would grasp the essence of the term and find the answer for many other Russia’s crimes in America. For example, shooting by the mentally ill minors and adults during the last twenty years. As a result of that incompetence the violence rages across America. I have been writing in detail about criminality committed by Russia and its Intelligence. I have used the term KGB Mafia/Army, it signifies the entire Russian Intel and its dirty tricks. That knowledge is a must for politicians, all Americans, and definitely for the FBI members and Intelligence community…

Just count numerous wars America has experienced during the last several decades: culture war, war on drugs, war on human trafficking, war on Christianity, war on the police, war on oil and gas industries, abortion’s war, war on “White Supremacy,” war on parents, war on the Supreme Court, and war on babies. Those wars are the numerous fronts of the same Kremlin’s Ruthless WWIII waged by different methods including disinformation. We have many types of Socialist Charlatans operating from different locations, deliberately misleading us and there thousands if not millions of them in our midst. BLM proudly admitted “we are trained Marxists.” This is a clear lie to divert your attention from the real culprits—the KGB Mafia/Army, follow the money. Some Socialist Charlatans operate from our Congress, like the “Squad,” some from the current administration like Bernie Sanders, Mayor Pete or Joe Biden. To win they might even cancel the upcoming midterm election.

I have followed Joe Biden and his actions since 2013-2014, when Obama assigned him as a point man for Ukraine. My several columns have been describing his activities in Ukraine. Biden was on the side of old corrupt Ukraine and he collaborated with Vladimir Putin to suffocate the young Ukrainian democracy. Just read his own declaration on “quid-pro-quo” with $1 Billion of American money to fire the prosecutor investigating Hunter. Then, twelve years ago, he was in his right mind and exposed himself by helping Putin. Biden is now have no capacity to run the country. In my opinion, his old staff consisting of Obama’s holdover and the bad actors from the KGB is running America. Just watch how the staff walked back Biden’s remark on Taiwan. I don’t trust any of them. They are spending our money to bankrupt us. I think that our economic decline has been deliberately planned since the first day of Biden’s team by sabotaging the supply chain—a wonder of Capitalism.

The issue of Biden’s staff concerns me greatly. This is the same staff that served him at the time of his collaboration with Putin in Ukraine. Biden’s economic policy has inextricably connected to his foreign policy: the war in Ukraine has a global implication. Therefore, the motivation of Biden’s team must be checked and analyzed, we are dealing with Socialists/Communists waging WWIII against Capitalism. I suspect that the policy for Ukraine had been shaped according to my column on February 28, 2022. Biden’s staff is monitoring my computer and has changed Biden’s State of The Union Speech on the next day, March 1, 2022. After reading my column, they decided to use the Ukraine war to cover-up their crime–the Dems leadership’s collaboration with Russian Intelligence. It is not American Marxism, read my column Face to Face with Soviet Fascism, April 4, 2022

Stalinist Postulate–The Arms of Democrat’s Leadership

Stalinist main postulate was known to all Soviet people, it sounds very simple: “never admit crime committed, instead accuse the opponent of that exact crime.”   That precise action has been done by the Democrat Party to Republicans in America. It started with the KGB Mafia/Army production of the Trump/Dossier, described by me as a Falshivka, a fraud in 2017. The Democrats who don’t like America First, immediately joined the war against Republican/Trump accusing him of Russian collusion. The radical hoax has become a reality, Trump was a convenient target. I had known the dynamics of the story then in 2017, but you didn’t know that the Dems had followed Stalinist postulate-order, because they had had the monumental Russian collusion by themselves. Bill Barr didn’t know it either. That is why the Durham investigation was a necessity. The shocking news is available today and the Clintons are behind both Hoax against Republicans.

The Durham probe reveals valuable information: a collusion going on from the Clinton campaign to the Media. Hillary personally approved dissemination of the Trump/Russia Hoax. The former campaign manager Roby Mooch testified to that. The Russian “Operation Disinformation” was brought by the Dems to America. Now it is very evident that Clinton’s campaign scandal is the media scandal like Hunter-lab-top story—a deliberate, deceptive and calculated criminal disinformation against the Republicans and American Constitutional republic. I recognized it as the same disinformation like in Soviet Russia aimed at the opposition. We saw Truman’s Party transformation to Socialist Party and implementation of Socialism in America—from Bill Clinton and Obama to Biden’s America. James Sullivan is proof of that—Biden’s team continues implementation of Socialism in America today. The court should read My Conversation with Rush Limbaugh, February 20, 2021

If you ask what force has developed this transformation, you should read my preceding column about Socialist Charlatans built by the KGB Mafia/Army in America, like it has been done in all Socialist countries of the “Axis of Evil,” changing policy through bureaucracy. To understand Stalinist Soviet Socialism and its leadership, just compare Biden’s family in America to Kim Jong-un’s family in the North Korea. To control and power over the population, Socialist dictator Kim Jong-un keeps the people in misery. Analyze the policy and actions of Joe Biden since the first day of his presidency and you will be surprised learning the same direction in Biden’s America to make Americans poorer and the same covering-up of the crime had committed by his family—the patterns of Stalinist Socialism.

The list of major achievements of the KGB Mafia/Army in America I offered in my preceding column. You can now learn about Soviet Socialism in America and its epic effect on all aspects of our lives. Russian Intelligence has been infiltrating our midst and the world for the last hundred years implementing Soviet Socialism. The forces of the “Axis of Evil” are firmly involved in the Kremlin’s WWIII. Remember this: “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we lose our freedoms it will be because we have destroyed ourselves from within.” Abraham Lincoln. I admit the quotation may have other words, but the meaning is obvious—threat to be destroyed from within. We have that exact environment and continuation of the school shooting in May 2022 America today…

It is a torture to see devastating parents in the school and hear their desperate voices. It is even worse to see the pictures of alive and smiling children, killed in the horrific shooting in the TX elementary school. The entire country is shaken to its core and people ask: What’s happening to our country? I know our country experiences social and cultural breakdown. There will be a thorough investigation of the crime, but only the people who have read my books or columns will be able to answer all questions. I have been writing about the school shooting since the shooting in Columbine in 1999. The shooting by mentally ill people has never stopped; hundreds innocent children and adults have been killed. We can only guess the mental state of the killer. Why does it happen in Republican Texas? Because we are at war!  All of that could’ve been prevented by reading about the Russian Intelligence Apparatus reported by me.

That didn’t happen, because after the publication of my first book, the FBI submitted my name to the FISA Court to make me a “foreign agent” in 2002–my writings have been banned… There is no coincidence that today a Federal Court investigates the Trump/Russia probe and Clinton’s role in it for decades. All my books were dedicated to that exact subject by reporting the criminal activities of the KGB Mafia/Army working in concert with the Dems leadership and converting the Party to Socialist Party. Not knowing that information, we are not ready to fight the Kremlin’s WWIII or January 6 Commission—both are inextricably connected. You see American continuation of Stalinist Purges and Show Trials joined by the Democrats. Read my column: The Stalinist’s Now Run America January 1, 2022

My fellow Americans!

The Democrat Party doesn’t like America the Beautiful and a unique and brilliant design of our political system left to us by our Founding Fathers. All three branches of our government are now run by the Democrats and we are witnessing the constant ‘transition’ of our political system and the battles against Republicans. I haven’t changed my mind, but I leave to you the final Judgement on the ideology discussed in my writings. Whether it is Socialist Revolution the Democrats manufactured for decades in America? Or, is it a merger of the government bureaucracy with big tech into a Fascist Regime in America?

Be ready for the 2022 “summer in rage.” There will be more violent and brutal riots than the “summer in love” of 2020. The forces exercising the riots are the same—Socialist Charlatans in cahoots with the KGB Mafia/Army. Watch the theatrical performances of the Dems like Pelosi, Schumer, Beto, Joe, Liz and Debby lying arrogantly, agitating the mob… Remember also, Afghanistan now is the member of the “Axis of Evil” under the Russian umbrella and Putin’s war in Ukraine can create a global food shortage for years… We are facing a monumental threat to our republic…

My friends! It is now or never! Save America the Beautiful!

Freedom’s torch is yours!

Biden Admin: K-12 Schools Must Put Boys In Girls’ Bathrooms To Get Federal Lunch Money

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

If only Democrats worked as hard as hardening school security and providing armed police than they do endangering our girls…..

Biden Admin: K-12 Schools Must Put Boys In Girls’ Bathrooms To Get Federal Lunch Money

By: Joy Pullman, The Federalist, May 26, 2022:

K-12 schools must allow boys into girls’ private areas to obtain federal funds for lunches, breakfasts, and snacks, the Biden administration announced this month. A U.S. Department of Education spokesman told The Federalist the Biden administration’s press releases from several agencies announcing this policy will be followed by formal rulemaking in June.

“It seems to be playing politics with feeding poor kids, which is really unfortunate,” John Elcesser, executive director of the Indiana Non-Public Education Association, said via phone amid weeks of attempting to sort out these new demands with government officials on behalf of private schools in his state. “Because if a school feels like they cannot participate because it’s in conflict with their mission or values, if a religious exemption is not granted, you’re taking away a program that’s feeding low-income kids.”

Before many schools shut down in response to Covid-19, the National School Lunch Program fed nearly 30 million kids every school day, in approximately 100,000 public and private schools and residential care facilities.

Under this new demand, establishments that accept any federal food funding, including food stamps, must also allow males who claim to be female to access female private spaces, such as showers, bathrooms, and sleeping areas. Such organizations must also follow protocols such as requiring staff to use inaccurate pronouns to describe transgender people and allowing male staff to dress as women while on the job.

Religious institutions, however, qualify for a waiver exempting them from these requirements, said Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Greg Baylor in an interview Monday. According to the 1972 Title IX law, he said, religious institutions don’t have to file any paperwork to be exempt, although they can if they wish.

Baylor noted, however, that publicly affirming a commitment to sexual reality by seeking an exemption acknowledgment from federal agencies may assist extremist pressure campaigns. The activist group Human Rights Campaign’s blueprint for the Biden administration pushed for narrowing religious exemptions for multiple federal regulations and for the administration to “out” individuals and institutions who request such exemptions.

The Biden administration appears to be following that blueprint closely. According to Elcesser, USDA officials are telling schools to file paperwork to be exempt, although the Title IX law says that’s an option but not required. The USDA confirmed that to The Federalist Tuesday with this emailed statement: “Organizations may request a religious exemption by submitting a written declaration to the Secretary of Agriculture identifying the provisions that conflict with a specific tenet of the religious organization.”

Government schools can receive no exemption. At best, parents and taxpayers can urge school districts to not comply while inevitable lawsuits over the Biden administration’s interpretation work through courts for years.

“The Biden administration is grossly extending the Bostock holding where it does not belong. Like many of the Biden administration’s power grabs, this imposition transgresses areas of proper state and local authority. As the principal guardians of federalism, state attorneys general have the ability to combat such overreach where it injures state functions,” Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, a Republican, told The Federalist in a statement.

Even if this regulation is ultimately overturned by one means or another, millions of American children will be forced to eat their school lunches with a side of sexual politics.

“There is a lot of harm that comes from inflicting this interpretation of Title IX on public schools and private schools that are not eligible for the exemption,” Baylor said. In Loudoun County, Virginia, in 2021, a young woman was sexually assaulted in a school bathroom by a young man granted access by the district’s transgender policies.

Parents have told The Federalist that their daughters no longer use the bathrooms or locker rooms at their public schools because they don’t feel safe there. Many parents are finding after the fact that school districts are helping their children live as the opposite sex and hide that from their families.

“Some percentage of school districts want to be told by the federal government that they have to implement gender ideology,” Baylor observed. “If anyone complains, they can say, ‘We’re just doing what they told us. Go blame Joe Biden, not me.’”

As Biden promised to do while campaigning, his administration is pushing sexual confusion on as many institutions as it can. This aim has gotten a huge boost from the 2020 Supreme Court decision Bostock v. Clayton County, an unconstitutional ruling that gives this extremist sexual agenda a legal fig leaf. That 5-4 decision clinched by President Donald Trump-appointed Justice Neil Gorsuch, however, concerned sex differences not in education but employment……

MISINFORMATION WATCH: Young Women Speaks Truth About Upside Down Conditions in America Today [Video]

/in , , , , , , , /by

Misinformation is false or inaccurate information, especially that which is deliberately intended to deceive.

Disinformation is a subset of propaganda and is defined as false information that is spread deliberately to deceive people.

Malinformation or malicious information is having or showing a desire to cause harm to someone; given to, marked by, or arising from malice or malicious gossip.

It’s an upside down America

This young women speaks truth about how upside down conditions are in America today

Before and since the Uvalde Massacre there has been an ongoing effort to idolize criminals and criminality. It was a tweet, below, from Barrack Hussein Obama about the Uvalde Massacre that helps understand who and what is important to him and by inference the entire Democrat Party.

In one tweet Obama has chosen a black convicted felon over the police. By doing so he also chosen lawlessness over the rule of law.

Here is Jason Whitlock’s take on cops at the Uvalde Massacre school shooting stating in a tweet, “When your culture makes George Floyd the hero, real heroes stand down. Cultural rot has consequences.”

Cultural rot has consequences

This video interview by Jason Whitlock says everything you need to know about Barrack Hussein Obama, the current policies of Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., his administration and goals of the Democrat Party.

Here is a tweet by Socialist Democrat Alexandra-Ocasio Cortez with a reply from Candice Owens that explains the evil incarnate mis, dis and malinformation that is part and parcel of the Democrat Party.

Recently Robert Hutchinson pointed out the following about recent massacres:

  • In 2017, a far-left Democrat and supporter of Bernie Sanders, James Hodgkinson, opened fire on a couple of dozen Congressional Republicans during softball practice, seriously wounding Representative Steve Scalise and lobbyist Mike Mika. Yet at no point did members of the Democratic Party or the corporate media begin clamoring for investigations into the dangers of socialism or of far-left Democratic Party activism.
  • Just a year earlier, a deranged black nationalist and Black Lives Matter supporter named Micah Xavier Johnson ambushed a group of police officers in Dallas. Armed with a Saiga AK-74 assault rifle, the Afghanistan veteran was able to shoot five officers dead and wounded nine others in the deadliest incident against law enforcement since 9/11. Yet there was not a single report on CNN and NBC News calling for investigations into the openly racist ideology behind Black Lives Matter or into the black nationalism that Johnson espoused.
  • In 2019, 24-year-old Connor Betts shot and killed nine people and wounded 17 others in Dayton, Ohio – an incident the media labeled as an act of racist white supremacy. The problem was, investigations quickly revealed that Betts was an avowed Satanist and supporter of far-left Antifa who hated Donald Trump and urged all his friends to vote only for Democrats.

The conclusion is that its not white supremacy or a gun, its the mis, dis and malinformation of some to further their political agenda.

It’s all about the cultural rot and mis, dis and malinformation that has taken hold in our nation and its consequences.

The Key to the Uvalde Massacre is: The Critical Importance of One Brave Good Guy with a Gun

/in , , , , , , /by

“The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles.” ― Jeff Cooper, Art of the Rifle

We have read numerus articles and watched dozens of video interviews about the Uvalde Massacre and we have come to the conclusion that in every case of a mass school shooting it’s critical to stop the bad guy with a gun immediately.

To stop a bad guy with a gun you must have a good guy with a gun who’s willing to go into the breech and use it to save lives.

One of the videos that was of great interest to us was done on CNN with Texas Department of Public Safety Lt. Chris Olivarez.

On CNN’s Situation Room interview Lt. Olivarez clearly states,

In the active shooter situation, you want to stop the killing, you want to preserve life. But also, one thing that, of course, the American people need to understand is that officers are making entry into this building. They do not know where the gunman is. They are hearing gunshots. They are receiving gunshots.

At that point, if they proceeded any further not knowing where the suspect was at, they could have been shot, they could have been killed, and at that point that gunman would have had an opportunity to kill other people inside that school.

This was followed by a tweet that raises a serious issue.

And these tweets:

This single tweet by Alexandra-Ocasio Cortez says it all.

The Bottom Line: Cultural rot has consequences

Vice.com reported:

It’s now clear that crucial minutes ticked by—around an hour—as police stood outside Robb Elementary while the gunman, Salvador Ramos, went on a killing spree inside a fourth-grade classroom. Dozens of Border Patrol agents did respond to support local officers, but it was a four-man team of tactical agents who went in together. And while their actions were undoubtedly heroic, one witness, a 10-year-old boy, has come forward to say the cops inadvertently helped the gunman identify another victim to shoot.

[ … ]

At a press conference Thursday, Victor Escalon, South Texas regional director for the Department of Public Safety, said that after an initial exchange of gunfire with the gunman as he entered the school and traversed the hallways, the initial police officers on the scene retreated and called for backup, including a Border Patrol tactical team. “Approximately an hour later,” Escalon said, Border Patrol agents arrived and killed Ramos. Escalon said there was “a lot of gunfire in the beginning” and that officers were subsequently “kept at bay” by additional shots.

It is past time to stop making public schools gun free zones. This only makes it easier for those like Salvador Ramos to do what he did. But  worse than that it was the inaction of local police that lead inextricably to more children be killed.

As Vice.com noted,

“CBP [U.S. Customs and Border Patrol] responded immediately to the incident with local law enforcement,” Magnus said. “Many of our local CBP personnel live in Uvalde; they call this community home, and they work to protect their families, friends and neighbors every single day. We continue to coordinate closely with our federal, state and local partners in the aftermath of this senseless tragedy.”

Border Patrol agents are undoubtedly part of the fabric of the community in Uvalde, located about 70 miles east of the Del Rio port of entry on the Mexican border.

It is now more and more critical to have public, private and parochial schools defended by trained and armed individuals on campus at all times. Be it teachers, administrators, private security companies, local law enforcement or even parents.

It is clear that the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to have a good guy with a gun ever present.

Today, if it wasn’t for the Second Amendment we the people would not be able to defend ourselves, our children, our families and our schools and places of worship from the likes of Salvador Ramos.

America and the world needs more good men with rifles.

Live free and armed or die.

A Cult of Evil: Barack Hussain Obama’s Tweet From Hell

Idolatry: The worship of a cult image or “idol” as though it were God.

Before and since the Uvalde Massacre there has been an ongoing effort to idolize criminals and criminality. It was a tweet, below, from Barrack Hussein Obama about the Uvalde Massacre that helps understand who and what is important to him and by inference the entire Democrat Party.

In one tweet Obama has chosen a black convicted felon over the police. By doing so he also chosen lawlessness over the rule of law.

Here is Jason Whitlock’s take on cops at the Uvalde Massacre school shooting stating in a tweet, “When your culture makes George Floyd the hero, real heroes stand down. Cultural rot has consequences.”

Watch Jason explain what is happening to our young boys and men.

This single tweet by Jason Whitlock and video say everything you need to know about Barrack Hussein Obama, the current policies of Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., his administration and goals of the Democrat Party.

What Obama has done is make it a priority to demonize the police while elevating a convicted felon into a cult idol. If you are black and a criminal then you’re idolized by the likes of Barack Hussein Obama. This fits the narrative of the Black Lives Matter movement and their goal to instill the myth that black lives matter more than any and all other lives.

Their combined messaging is that no matter how evil blacks are the police far are worse.

They’re worse because they arrest blacks for crimes that they have committed and in doing so some resist arrest and must be forcibly restrained. This was what happened with George Floyd.

Therefore ipso facto Floyd by being black, a felon, and dying while being restrained is elevated to the status of a black god.

The elevation of those like Floyd have the effect of now elevating one race as not jut superior to but to a godlike status. It’s a clear message to police across America, arrest a black man or woman at your own risk.

Here is a tweet by Socialist Democrat Alexandra-Ocasio Cortez with a reply from Candice Owens that explains the evil incarnate in the Democrat Party.

If I were against law and order

Democrats Introduced Bill to Get Police Out of Schools – Despite Slaughtered Children

If I were against law and order and didn’t care about the deaths of the 19 children and 2 adults massacred by 18-year-old Salvador Ramos I would:

  1. Make public schools gun free zones and not allow principals, law enforcement officers, teachers to be trained and armed to defend themselves and their students.
  2. I would use every school shooting to make America a gun free zone, using the myth that guns kill people, not evil people kill people.
  3. I would use people like Golden State Warriors basketball Coach Steve Kerr who “joined dozens of Oakland Unified School district parents and students who are calling for the district to dismantle its internal police force.”
  4. I would shout from the roof tops and in front of news cameras and from the school house to the White House “gun control, gun control, gun control and more gun control.”
  5. I would use filmmakers like Michael Moore to state on television, “We will not acknowledge that we are a violent people, to begin with. This country was birthed in violence with genocide of the native people at the barrel of a gun. This country was built on the backs of slaves with a gun to their backs to build this country into the country that we got to have. We do not want to acknowledge or two original sins here that have a gun behind the ability behind our ability to become who we became.”
  6. I would create a black idols like racist propagandist Joy Reid who called for Canada, and Mexico to build walls in response to U.S. mass school shootings.
  7. Then I would get actors like Rob Reiner to blame the killing of innocent children by a deranged boy on my political opponents. I would put these word into Reiner’s mouth, “The blood of every child that dies of gun violence in this country is on the hands of the Republican Party.”
  8. Of course, I would have my evil servant from CNN Wolf Blitzer to state without proof that guns are “weapons of mass destruction” and are too easy to get in America. “Every time there is an incident like this, you hear about efforts to deal with mentally unstable people who can certainly go out there and buy a weapon of mass destruction, go out there and buy a gun or rifle or some sort of assault-type weapon and go to there and eventually start killing wonderful, wonderful, people,” Blitzer blathered for me, the devil.
  9. I would have the president of these United States call for totally disarming American citizens while the blood of the 19 Uvalde, Texas children is still fresh, the flags at half staff and their young  bodies not yet put in consecrated ground.
  10. Finally, I would have Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. unveil his Anti-Policing Policy on May 25, 2022, the 2nd anniversary of George Floyd’s death. Just a few days after a boy named Salvador Ramos massacred 19 children and two teachers.

The Bottom Line

Worshiping evil doers and making a cult image as though it were god in the black community will have the continuing effect of more crime the black communities. For example in these top five deadliest cities:

  1. St. Louis, Missouri with 64.54 murders per 100,000 residents,
  2. Baltimore, Maryland with 58.27 murders per 100,000 residents,
  3. Birmingham, Alabama with 50.62 murders per 100,000 residents,
  4. Detroit, Michigan with 41.45 murders per 100,000 residents,
  5. and Dayton, Ohio with 34.18 murders per 100,000 residents.

We have a crime and mental health problem in America.

Robert Hutchinson in a May 20, 2022 column titled “America Has a Crime and Mental Health Problem, Not a White Supremacy Problem” wrote:

Within hours of the Buffalo, New York, mass shooting on May 14 that claimed the lives of ten innocent black people, top Democratic officials were already citing the incident as proof that the number one social problem facing America is “white supremacy” and “white nationalism.”

The reason: the mentally ill Buffalo shooter, 18-year-old Payton Gendron, in addition to being openly racist against black Americans, also objected to unrestricted mass immigration and said so in a rambling 181-page manifesto on the subject.

The problem is, upwards of 60 percent of Americans – including Barack Obama and Bernie Sanders until about 2015 – have voiced concerns about open border policies, such as those now being openly implemented by the Biden Administration.

Hutchinson then pointed out the following massacres:

  • In 2017, a far-left Democrat and supporter of Bernie Sanders, James Hodgkinson, opened fire on a couple of dozen Congressional Republicans during softball practice, seriously wounding Representative Steve Scalise and lobbyist Mike Mika. Yet at no point did members of the Democratic Party or the corporate media begin clamoring for investigations into the dangers of socialism or of far-left Democratic Party activism.
  • Just a year earlier, a deranged black nationalist and Black Lives Matter supporter named Micah Xavier Johnson ambushed a group of police officers in Dallas. Armed with a Saiga AK-74 assault rifle, the Afghanistan veteran was able to shoot five officers dead and wounded nine others in the deadliest incident against law enforcement since 9/11. Yet there was not a single report on CNN and NBC News calling for investigations into the openly racist ideology behind Black Lives Matter or into the black nationalism that Johnson espoused.
  • In 2019, 24-year-old Connor Betts shot and killed nine people and wounded 17 others in Dayton, Ohio – an incident the media labeled as an act of racist white supremacy. The problem was, investigations quickly revealed that Betts was an avowed Satanist and supporter of far-left Antifa who hated Donald Trump and urged all his friends to vote only for Democrats.

The conclusion is that its not white supremacy or a gun, its the idolatry of some to further a political agenda.

It’s all about the cultural rot that has taken hold in our nation and its consequences.

Are You Ready to Pay the Price of Equity and Equal Outcomes?

/in , , , , , , , /by

Monday is Memorial Day when we honor all military members who died while serving in the U.S. armed forces.  Unfortunately, the Army just lowered its physical fitness standards, a move critics say will get more U.S. soldiers killed.

Too many women were failing the physical fitness test under so-called “gender-neutral” standards, meaning identical requirements for men and women.  So the Army reinstated sex-norming, creating a different test with lower standards for women and older men.  They have to pick up less weight and get more time to complete a run. Senator Tom Cotton called the new test a “fiasco” that will “get people killed.”   That may be an overstatement, because the new test just measures basic physical fitness and does not change the additional requirements for combat roles or specialized jobs. However, there is already indication that’s what’s coming next.  Earlier this year, a whistleblower accused the Air Force of fudging physical fitness standards for a female candidate so she could make it through Special Tactics training.  Senator Cotton and other critics have a point when they highlight the Pentagon’s preoccupation with ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion’ and ‘fairness’ for women.  How would you like to be in combat alongside someone who you know didn’t really meet the standards to be there?

Lowering standards in the name of diversity or some other value is also going on outside the military. Critics say the preoccupation with diversity has damaged science and will ultimately mean fewer scientific discoveries in the future.  Democrats in Maryland want to keep police from removing homeless camps on public property.  Critics say the bill encourages law-breaking and vagrancy.

But nowhere is the lowering of standards more apparent than in education.

California is taking another stab at Woke Math which, like the first version, still lowers standards in the name of promoting racial justice and equal outcomes.

The California University System wants to do away with grades because students don’t all start in the same place and ‘equity’ must be served.

‘Equity’ was the battle cry of a high school principal in San Diego who eliminated racial disparities in honors classes by doing away with the classes altogether. Who did this hurt? Minority students who excel and will now have a harder time getting into top schools.

Some high schools in Colorado are doing away with class valedictorians. Learning is not a competition, they say, and all students can learn at high levels.  Following that logic, they should make every student valedictorian. Beats a participation trophy, doesn’t it?

The American Bar Association wants to do away with the LSAT law school entrance exam to increase diversity.   That’s funny.  MIT is bringing back standardized testing requirements to find talent and identify disadvantaged students, who with a little help, could be ready for MIT.

Georgetown Law, my alma mater, is changing its Property class to focus on structural racism and cultural appropriation.  Good luck passing the bar exam or serving your clients well if all you know is a bunch of Woke drivel.

A Seattle school has a new disciplinary policy which considers race when handing out punishments for breaking the rules.  Critics say this will lead to whites being punished more frequently and severely so the schools can even up the numbers of each racial group getting disciplined.

Thanks to new race-based admissions policies, Thomas Jefferson High School in Virginia – formerly one of the top high schools in the country – is now reduced to offering remedial education and tutoring at the 8th-grade level to entering students.  TJ used to be an elite school for smart kids.  No more.

Students benefit more from higher expectations than from lower standards, including minority and low-income students.  That’s a fact.  So, when Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke tells you lowering standards is essential for promoting diversity in college classrooms, she is leading you astray.

As the stories I’ve told you today show, the mindless preoccupation with diversity is a good way to damage science, hold minorities back from being all they can be and, maybe, even get soldiers killed.  If we did a poll, I bet we would get a lot of support for lowering standards if diversity is the only goal.  But if we changed the poll question to ‘do you support an exclusive focus on diversity given all the drawbacks that will have and all the damage it will do,’ I bet support would drop significantly.  It’s easy to say ‘I want free ice cream,’ but not so easy when you factor in rotten teeth and expensive trips to the dentist.    It’s time to end the exclusive preoccupation with diversity and bring things into better balance.  MIT is showing the way.

Welcome To The ‘Green’ Digital Gulag

/in , , , , , , , /by

The convergence of the Communist and capitalist wellsprings of the new world order – and its ominous implications for Americans and others who love freedom – was on display in Davos, Switzerland yesterday.

At the globalist World Economic Forum, the Chinese Communist Party’s tech giant, Alibaba, unveiled the next big thing in the planet’s inexorable march to the Digital Gulag. It’s called a “personal carbon footprint tracker.”

Evidently, we need not be concerned that Alibaba is a key enabler of the CCP’s totalitarian surveillance state and its uber- Orwellian “Social Credit System.” That’s because, while this tracker will monitor your whereabouts, travel, personal consumption and behavior – offering you inducements to do “the right thing ” – there’s no reason to worry that all of that data will be collected and monitored by Communist China because, you see, it’s “green.”

And you will like being green.

This is Frank Gaffney.
