University Reported Massive Increase In Trans-Identifying Students, Sex Change Treatments In Response To DeSantis Audit

University of Florida (UF) health centers reported an uptick in the number of transgender patients, fulfilling a request by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration in January, UF student newspaper the Independent Florida Alligator reported.

The Florida Office of Policy and Budget sent a memo to university leaders on Jan. 11 demanding reports about the number of patients treated for gender dysphoria at affiliated health centers. UF Health reported an increase in sex change treatments including puberty blocker prescription, hormone therapy, surgery and behavioral services at its various clinics since 2018, according to the reports obtained by the Alligator.

UF Health’s Gainesville clinic saw a 150% increase in transgender treatments, according to the report. The clinic saw 410 patients in 2022 compared to 164 in 2018, many of which were first time treatment encounters.

The clinic also reported a 142.2% increase in patients diagnosed with gender dysphoria either before, during or after appointments between 2018 and 2022. There was a reported 45% increase in patients prescribed with puberty blockers and 174.3% increase in patients prescribed hormones.

There was an approximate 17% decrease in overall sex change surgeries performed at the Gainesville clinic, but a 100% increase in vasectomies and a 550% increase in breast augmentations between 2018 and 2022, according to the report.

L.G.B.T. activists and their supporters rally in support of transgender people on the steps of New York City Hall, October 24, 2018 in New York City.

The UF Health Jacksonville clinic reported lowered numbers and treated 16 patients in 2018 and 10 in 2022, according to the report. Nearly half of these numbers were first time treatment encounters in both years.

The clinic only reported one puberty blocker prescription in 2018, and the number of hormone prescriptions decreased from 10 to six between 2018 and 2022, the report reads. The number of patients that received some sort of sex change surgery increased from two to three and cited a breast augmentation, a hysterectomy and a phalloplasty.

The university reportedly did not tell the Alligator why the DeSantis administration requested the information. The memo said the reports furthered “the Governor’s constitutional duty as Florida’s chief executive officer to take care that the laws of this State be faithfully executed,” Politico reported.

The memo reportedly requested the number of patients “prescribed puberty blockers, hormones or hormone antagonists, or underwent a medical procedure.” Universities had until Feb. 10 to respond.

The DeSantis administration, UF and UF Health did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

Former Mumford & Sons Guitarist: Antifa Tried to ‘Destroy’ Me for Wrongthink

Speaking with Tucker Carlson on his Fox Nation show, Former Mumford & Sons guitarist Winston Marshall detailed how the Democrat Brownshirts of Antifa tried to “destroy” him after he endorsed a book by journalist Andy Ngo exposing the inner workings of the violent domestic terror group.

“They’re very effective online. Like, for example, there was a whole night where they were changing my Wikipedia page from ‘Winston Marshall is a banjo player’ to ‘Winston Marshall is a fascist,’” he said. “They just swarm you like hornets and everything they do to try and destroy you.”

He said friends tried to change his Wikipedia page back only to see it changed again. He said some of his music collaborators were also being attacked simply because of their professional association with him.

In 2021, Marshall praised Ngo on his book Unmasked: Inside Antifa’s Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy, which details Antifa’s efforts to terrorize its ideological opponents through violence and harassment. “Congratulations @MrAndyNgo. Finally had the time to read your important book. You’re a brave man,” Marshall tweeted.

A few months later, Marshall quit the band after receiving a deluge of abuse from the cancel mob for his tweet. The guitarist said his bandmates were also targeted even though they weren’t involved with the tweet.

“My life sort of started to crumble,” he told Carlson. “Initially I was like, so what, it will pass, but that’s when you get the phone calls from loved ones and friends and people you work with just panicking.”

This is how cancel culture works — the online and real-world mobs destroy your life and threaten you with violence. It’s the Democrat way.

Antifa Attacks Journalist Andy Ngo

On May 28, 2021, Antifa radicals chased and beat conservative journalist Andy Ngo in the streets of Portland, Oregon while he was covering protests in that city. “No journalist in America should ever face violence for doing his or her job,” Ngo said in a tweet on June 2. “… I was chased, attacked and beaten by a masked mob, baying for my blood. Had I not been able to shelter wounded and bleeding inside a hotel while they beat the doors and windows like animals, there is no doubt in my mind I would not be here today. Their words, like their actions, speak for themselves.”

Arizona County Sees 377% Surge in Human Smuggling, 610% Hike in Fentanyl Under Biden

The situation along the southwest border has deteriorated so badly under President Joe Biden that in the last two years an Arizona county about an hour drive from Mexico has seen a breathtaking 377% increase in human smuggling and trafficking incidents and a shocking 610% rise in fentanyl pills seized by local law enforcement officers. Closer to the southern border a small Arizona town a stone’s throw from Los Algodones, Mexico saw three times its population cross into its municipality illegally last year, overwhelming the city’s only hospital.

The Pinal County Sheriff and the president of Yuma Regional Medical Center offered the chilling information this week during a congressional hearing focusing on immigration since Biden took office. Held by the House Homeland Security Committee, the session occurred just days after the nation heard alarming testimony form Border Patrol sector chiefs during a separate conference held by the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability. In that hearing Rio Grande Valley Chief Gloria Chavez revealed cartels use drones to track federal agents and that in her Texas sector alone more than 10,000 drone incursions and 25,000 drone sightings occurred in a year. “The adversaries have 17 times the number of drones, twice the amount of flight hours and unlimited funding to grow their operations,” Chavez told federal lawmakers. Tucson sector Chief John Modlin said the border crisis has gone from “what I would describe as unprecedented to a point where I don’t have the correct adjective.” Last year his Arizona sector seized about 700 pounds of fentanyl, which is well over three million pills.

American border towns have been devastated by the illegal immigration crisis and the problem is spilling over into distant regions that typically do not see the kind of activity associated with border crimes. The president of Yuma Regional Medical Center, Dr. Robert Trenschel, said before the congressional hearing this week that his facility is overwhelmed. “Yuma is only a population of 100,000 people, and we’ve had 300,000 people cross the border in a year, and we’re the only hospital they go to,” Trenschel said. “So they come to us and that’s impacted our hospital significantly and disproportionately.” The hospital chief testified that many migrants come with significant diseases that require costly treatments like dialysis, cardiac catheterization and surgery. “Many are very sick,” he said. “They have long term complications of chronic disease that have not been cared for. Some end up in the ICU for 60 days or more. One of the largest cohorts we have seen are maternity patients who present with little or no prenatal care. These higher risk pregnancies and births result in higher complication rates and longer hospital stays. Due to a lack of pre-natal care, many of these babies require a stay in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit—some for a month or more at a time.” Of course, American taxpayers are picking up the tab for the costly medical care.

Further from the Mexican border in central Arizona’s Pinal County, the area’s top law enforcement official says a high percentage of the drugs and human smuggling plaguing the U.S. pass through his jurisdiction enroute to Phoenix and the rest of the country. The elected sheriff, Mark Lamb, testified that over the last two years human smuggling/trafficking incidents in his county have increased 377% and vehicle pursuits related to human smuggling are up 461%. “If it’s not humans being trafficked, it’s drugs,” Lamb said. “The number of fentanyl pills my deputies have seized along this same route since 2020 is up 610%.” The veteran cop also told lawmakers that most of the migrants his agency encounters, those who got away from the Border Patrol, are being trafficked by the cartels. “They are adult military aged men wearing camouflage clothes, carpet shoes, carrying backpacks and often times drugs,” Lamb said. “They have eluded Border Patrol by walking through the desert for several days and have no intentions of giving up. Many of them have been deported before, have criminal records or work directly for the cartels. Their goal is to enter our country undetected and illegally.”

During the lengthy hearing the sheriff also expressed frustration at media and Biden administration claims that there is not a crisis at the southern border and the lie that the area is secure. “Clearly, our statistics tell a different story,” Lamb said. “And that story is that the border is not secure.”

The Transgender Tide is Turning

Transgenderism has made many inroads into U.S. society, politics, and culture, but the tide is finally turning.  Tennessee just passed a law banning transgender drugs and surgery for minors and prohibiting drag shows where they could be seen by children.  That makes Tennessee the eighth state to restrict sex change procedures for minors.  Legislation is pending in at least 25 other states.  No more free ride.

Another indication the tide is turning is the spate of lawsuits being filed against transgender service providers.  Everyone who is part of the Transgender Industrial Complex is in legal jeopardy, whether they realize it yet or not.  The grounds for legal liability are many.

An 18-year-old detransitioner is suing the Kaiser companies for ignoring her mental health condition and putting her on sex change drugs when she was 13.  Doctors performed a double mastectomy on her when she was 15.  “I was 15 when you cut into my body, ripped out my breasts, and stitched me back up like I was your rag doll,” she said.  “You are on the wrong side of history and will always be remembered as child butchers.”  She is the victim of “ideological and profit-driven medical abuse,” her lawyers said in announcing the suit.

Doctors aren’t the only ones facing legal liability.  A New York school district is being sued because a teacher tried to manipulate a 9-year-old girl into becoming transgender by calling her ‘Leo’ and using male pronouns to address her.  The girl became confused and contemplated suicide.  The teacher pushed transgender and gay agendas on the entire class, providing her students graphic books on these subjects, going into detail about transitioning, surgery, and hormones.  The school district didn’t tell the parents anything about the child’s condition until after she had developed suicidal ideation.

Republicans in the U.S. House and Senate reintroduced a bill to allow people who received transgender drugs and surgery as minors to sue their doctors with a 30-year statute of limitations.  “Unfortunately, radical doctors in the United States perform dangerous, experimental, and even sterilizing gender-transition procedures on young kids, who cannot even provide informed consent,” Senator Tom Cotton said.  Consent also figures in the civil and possibly criminal investigation by state authorities of a transgender clinic in Missouri.  Whether the Republicans’ bill passes or not, it is foreseeable a flood of litigation is coming.  Live by social contagion, die by social contagion.

Expect to see more lawsuits arising from injuries from the administration of transgender drugs.  A new study shows those taking transgender hormone treatments are significantly more prone to stroke, heart attack, and blood clots.  Stroke – seven times more likely.  Heart problems – six times more likely.  Pulmonary embolism – five times more likely.  Lawsuits for drugging and mutilating kids who can’t possibly understand the long-term ramifications of transgender treatment – getting more likely all the time.

The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) is warning about the “unknown and unknowable long-term risks” inherent in so-called “gender-affirming care” in minors.  Surgery is irreversible and highly likely to cause sterilization.  The best that transitioners can hope for is a “lifelong need for medical, surgical, and psychological care.”  Sign me up!

A new one-sided story from the Associated Press minimizes the number of transitioners who express regret or seek to detransition.  The story cites studies saying the number is small – one percent – and declining as treatment ‘improves’.  But the latest studies cited are from 2021.  I wonder what the numbers are now, after the Transgender Industrial Complex has gone hog wild pushing gender transitioning on confused kids without telling their parents.  I would bet you will start seeing the numbers of those expressing regret and seeking to detransition grow exponentially.  Moreover, the AP story cites research suggesting psychological counseling before starting treatment can reduce the chances for regret and detransitioning.  But that’s the whole point of the Missouri investigation and the first lawsuit I described earlier – there was no counseling.  Drugs and surgery were the default position, with no counseling and no thought given to the mental health status of the child.   There will be suicides.  You can bet on it.  I can’t wait for the wrongful death suits to start.

Challenging The Cozy Corporate LGBTQ Consensus

I work in a large European multinational. One day last year I opened an email from the employee advocacy department. Attached was a PDF with a page dedicated to “my gender, my pride”. It explained “the road to LGBT normalization” and advertised the organizational “pride activities”.

This propaganda was not my cup of tea. I emailed a protest to the author and I posted a critique on a private Facebook group for 450 colleagues. I began with a disclaimer. I said that I esteemed all of my colleagues and that I was criticising the ideas inspiring the PDF.

My first point was that celebrating “pride” is problematic. Celebrations are quasi-religious. Don’t we celebrate Christmas and Easter, for instance? Framing unbridled sexuality as holy is dangerous. And pride, in classical religions, is always treated with caution. Remember Achilles or Oedipus or Icarus or Xerxes? The Greeks and Romans knew that pride can be arrogance; pride can lead to disaster. It needed to be balanced by a humble recognition of one’s own fallibility. There is little of that on display in celebrations of “pride” nowadays.

Second, I objected to labels like “gay” or “straight”. These say little about the whole person. In any case, my organization promotes the Rainbow flag and the Progress flag to communally guarantee that everyone is safe and free to express their sexual preference.

Certainly individual safety is important, but I have the feeling that this “Pride” is really about power, power over the consensus. The organization is open to a broad range of gender expressions, but at the same time it will not tolerate traditional  views on sexuality. Paradoxically, under the flag, individual safety to freely express one’s view on sexuality is at risk.

Third, the LGBT movement presents the rainbow lifestyle as rosier than it is in reality. What about drugs, sexual extremes, pornography, and sex parties? Some people suffer trauma from sex experiences and transgender operations which they deeply regret.

Some colleagues replied to my post. Some were reasonable; others called it homophobic and transphobic. The Diversity and Inclusion Manager informed me that someone had filed a complaint; the colleague was reluctant to work with me.

My guideline for tense situations like this is to always go for interpersonal dialogue, preferably one on one (possibly with an independent observer). “Let me talk to him,” I told my manager. Unfortunately, this never happened.

The Diversity and Inclusion Manager told me that his department had filed a complaint about the content of my post, although not about me personally. I responded that I should have been supported, as I actually represented a minority view in the organization. But diversity and inclusivity only move in one direction. Inclusion has become exclusion.

I asked if “diversity” and “inclusivity” could ever mean using different symbols than the rainbow flag or the progress flag. The answer was No.

Then my manager stepped in to follow up on the complaint. He patiently explained that I was not allowed to question the “progress flag” at work. The reason was that people would feel unsafe to be whoever they wanted to be, thereby conflating ideology and individual safety. Outside work-related domains, however, I could say and post whatever I liked. He also rebuked the Diversity and Inclusion Department for their rigidity in handling my case.

And then the incident faded away. I was more cautious; my colleagues were more respectful.

This clash with the corporate culture and my conversation with my manager was very educational for me.

There is a vast difference in perspective between individuals and management. Normally people care about each other’s welfare, but corporates limit themselves to affirming choices. Healthy or unhealthy, sad or happy, confused or structured — just let people be who they are or think they are.

But — without wanting to read too much into this encounter — “be whoever you are” carries a lot of philosophical baggage. The way people act is constantly changing, while their being is unchangeable. What does it mean “to be yourself”?

Insisting that you can be anything you want to be – that can be scary. When I pointed out to my manager that the suicide rate of transgender people is 19 times higher than normal, his answer was astonishing. That’s not necessarily bad, he said. That’s just how things go and it’s their choice. Whether or not that statistic is correct, his response was terrifying. Do we just have to accept that some people are doomed to unhappiness? Is this what corporate diversity and inclusion means?

The positive feature is that management does want people to feel safe at work. The negative feature is that it sanctions a life of limitless experimentation with completely unknown results. The goal is not happiness but a bogus authenticity.

So here is what I learned from my experience in questioning the corporate consensus. First, candid posts on Facebook are imprudent. Second, many of my colleagues supported my position — but they stayed quiet about it. Third, my openness and respectful dialogue was interpreted very positively. The higher-ups saw that I was acting with good will. Fourth, everyone realised that the notion of a cheery consensus on the LGBT narrative is an illusion. Within the organisation there was a loyal opposition.

Would I risk posting another challenge on Facebook? After all this pain, perhaps not. As they say, the process is the punishment.

Knock, knock? We’re on a path to extinction! Anyone interested?

South Korea just broke its own grim record, reporting the world’s lowest fertility rate at 0.78 children per woman. An unprecedented birth dearth.

South Korea is supposedly a “wealthy” country, but it will not be wealthy without children. The disappearance of East Asia and their ancient cultures proceeds apace. Japan and China are already shrinking with no end in sight. So many young people are not even interested in dating. What for? They have smartphones, video games and social media.

The same situation plagues the West. In what was once known as Christendom – Europe, Russia, the Anglosphere, Latin America – Christianity is being supplanted by thoroughly modern secularism. “Go forth and multiply” does not apply.

Fertility is falling everywhere. Why?

In prehistoric times, natural selection prevailed. Those best able to adapt survived and produced more offspring. Charles Darwin is credited with the discovery of this principle, though he simply rendered reality into writing. Natural selection became the basis for his theory of evolution.

For people at the mercy of the elements, death was a constant companion. The bearing of children just came naturally to perpetuate family and tribe. The survival instinct was strong. Five-star restaurants, two-car garages and family planning were unknown.

Then came civilization. Sustained commerce between small settlements and the rise of agriculture spawned economies and social stability. Between 4000 and 3000 BC full-fledged civilizations arose. Finding food, clothing and shelter was no longer a do-or-die proposition. Large-scale cooperation emerged. Natural selection gave way to social selection. Civilization presented diversions such as art, science, education, politics, wealth, leisure, and power.

Fast forward to the 19th century. In 1800 no transportation system rivaled the old Roman roads. Nor was there a postal service as proficient as Caesar’s. That changed with the Industrial Revolution. The Idea of Progress, the belief that history ineluctably proceeds towards material well-being and a better life, took hold and superseded religious faith. This belief emerged from Enlightenment empiricism. Mankind had come to believe in itself: Master of the Universe. Modernism was born.

Modernism was inextricably linked with progress. What great things humanity can do! How could anyone possibly argue with that? Modernism is defined by the Oxford dictionary:

A tendency in theology to accommodate traditional religious teaching to contemporary thought and especially to devalue supernatural elements.

According to Merriam-Webster it is:

a movement toward modifying traditional beliefs in accordance with modern ideas, especially in the Roman Catholic Church in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Note the words “accommodate” and “modifying.” It’s not rocket science – religious faith, traditional values and common sense were subordinated to “modern” notions of “liberty, equality and fraternity.” In the West that eventually morphed into “diversity, equity and inclusion” (DEI).

Where is the family in all this? Good question. Modernism continually moves the goal posts. In the West the very definitions of marriage, family and morality are up for debate. Moral relativism destroys social cohesion, a form of “social security” money can’t buy. That is gone in the West and fading fast in the East.

The West’s Industrial Revolution, along with the utopian Idea of Progress, eventually took hold worldwide. The prevailing wisdom was that humanity was improving. The New Soviet Man concept is just one example.

But humanity was not improving. It was the same old humanity thriving under improved conditions – e.g., rising living standards, a critical distinction. Are we really more intelligent or somehow cognitively superior to the ancient Greeks or Persians? Will we ever learn that all the DEI social engineering in the world does not change human nature?

Modernism’s materialism, consumerism and convenience are secular values. How can God, faith, or belief in the transcendent help me get ahead in this world? Well, there’s the Prosperity Gospel. But I digress.

With the advent of Modernism, civilization’s diversions – art, science, politics, wealth, leisure and power – became preoccupations, ends in themselves, at the expense of family. We slipped our spiritual moorings.

Modernism’s mammon mania means that nothing should impede the pursuit of prosperity. We have creature comforts and high-tech gadgets galore. The old “bread and circuses for the masses” has long been surpassed. Materially things are better. What could go wrong?

But are we homo sapiens getting ahead of ourselves?

Has the complexity of civilization exceeded the human capacity to maintain and manage it, akin to a structural overload in engineering? Gleaming civilization with all its baubles and accoutrements has blinded us to certain eternal truths. Losing faith means losing our moral compass and survival instinct. Christianity is wilting in the West. The fatalistic Oswald Spengler said that when the continuation of your kind on earth becomes a matter of debate, it’s over. (To give you a taste of Spengler, he’s the guy who said, “Optimism is cowardice”.)

Absent religious faith or a common Zeitgeist larger than ourselves, civilization can mutate from benefit to burden.

Burden? Progress is a double-edge sword. The environment is fouled for economic gain. Institutions master rather than serve humanity. Perpetual mortgage and credit card debt must be serviced. Unfettered by faith, moral constraints or a common ethos, misery abounds. Artificial intelligence is amazing, but it is also a dehumanizing job-killer.

Modernism prioritizes economic growth, imperialism, and affluence. Everything, including people, is valued solely for economic utility. Mammon mania undermines the family. People choose between family and career as if there is a moral equivalency. For humanity at large, that is choosing between life or death. The produce-and-consume treadmill holds us captive to the lust/need for lucre. No creature breeds well in captivity.

Governments are devising all manner of schemes to reverse falling fertility. Hungary and Scandinavia are leading the way with subsidized childcare, affordable housing and expanded parental leave. It is too early to assess the impact. China is crafting the world’s most comprehensive fertility initiative to date. This includes mapping data on unmarried youth.

Japan has initiated a government-sponsored dating service. The Japanese call it konkatsu, or “marriage hunting.

Russia propagandizes for larger families. President Vladimir Putin has revived Josef Stalin’s Mother Heroine award of US$16,000 for mothers who bear ten children or more.

ChinaRussiaHungary, and other countries are restricting abortion. With shrinking populations many are becoming aware of the critical necessity to choose life.

There is talk of taxing the childless. Renowned demographer Dr Paul Morland floated the idea in his Sunday Times op-ed “Should We Tax the Childless?” His reasoning: “We are approaching a population emergency, and if well-informed people cannot discuss these matters, the field is left to cranks and fanatics.” The idea was not well received; one magazine described it as a “rage-inducing viral masterclass”.

There is already overseas “bride-hunting” to compensate for gender deficits. The Faroe Islands is an example. There is even chatter about importing women from higher-fertility countries for breeding purposes, akin to livestock management.

Here’s an idea. Redefine prosperity in terms of intact families and children, rather than in fungible fiat currency per household.

Family life is being sacrificed on the altar of modernity. Shouldn’t government be doing some of the sacrificing? Multiple military bases, ginormous stadiums and over-the-top infrastructure projects are not as important as survival. Fund family-friendly initiatives instead.

How about meaningful tax relief for the middle class? In the US, real wages (those adjusted for inflation) have not risen since the 1970s. With everyone busy working, homes become dormitories. Living to work is unhealthy.

Reconfigure national economies and pay (bribe) people to have children. With our very survival at stake, just do it. But what does that say about our values?

As Henry David Thoreau observed, “There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root.” Tight money is merely a symptom contributing to the family’s decline. The root cause is spiritual.

The world is ageing because we are not replacing ourselves. Why? The family is no longer the center of life. Children are a bother. They’re too expensive. It doesn’t matter if we die out. The survival instinct is gone. Is a brave new dystopian world ahead?

The most advanced civilization can’t fool Mother Nature. Is this natural selection coming back?

Humans, those self-aware bipeds with prominent prefrontal cortexes, emerged about 300,000 years ago. Civilization has been around only 6,000 years. Is civilization an aberration? Are we regressing to barbarism?

Modernism has failed. We’re on the path to extinction. The world’s most productive populations are the fastest declining.

The future of the family depends on individual and societal priorities. Priorities reside in hearts and minds. Only spiritual rebirth can turn things around.

How can we help that happen?

Twitter Files Release: Soros-Tied ‘State-Sponsored Blacklists’

There is a cabal of villains running this country into the ground.

Twitter Files Saga Continues: Soros-Tied ‘State-Sponsored Blacklists’ Released By Musk

By: Erica Carlin, Liberty One News, March 2023:

The left has long tried to silence their political opponents, however, with the recent batch of Twitter Files released by Twitter owner Elon Musk, it has been revealed that the coordinated effort to create “state-sponsored blacklists” is much more sinister than previously thought.

It has been uncovered that the George Soros-funded Atlantic Council and the U.S. government-backed Global Engagement Center are two of the entities responsible for creating these blacklists to target Americans.

The Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab (DFRLab) wrote to Twitter on June 8, 2021 with a list of 40,000 Twitter accounts that they suspected of engaging in inauthentic behavior and Hindu nationalism, however, the list was full of ordinary Americans with no connection to India and no knowledge of Indian politics.

The Open Society Foundations funneled at least $743,625 into the Atlantic Council between 2016 and 2021, and the Global Engagement Center was revealed to fund the Atlantic Council’s DFRLab. This connection is especially troubling as the origins of President Joe Biden’s now-defunct Disinformation Governance Board (DGB) can be traced back to the Atlantic Council.

Not only that, but the Global Engagement Center has its own separate backlists for Twitter, which contained 5500 names of accounts they believed were “Chinese…accounts” engaging in “state-backed coordinated manipulation”, which included multiple Western government accounts and at least three CNN employees based abroad. This is further evidence of the lengths the left will go to silence their opponents and the level of corruption involved.

To make matters worse, the Global Engagement Center’s “mission” is to “recognize, understand, expose, and counter foreign state and non-state propaganda and disinformation efforts aimed at undermining or influencing the policies, security, or stability of the United States, its allies, and partner nations.”

However, it appears that the mission has become more like an Orwellian Ministry of Truth, as a former intelligence source told Matt Taibbi that the GEC was “an incubator for the domestic disinformation complex.”

This is yet another example of the left’s attempt to silence those who disagree with them, and it is an affront to the freedom of speech and expression that the Republican Party holds so dear.

This is a dangerous and slippery slope and we must do all we can to protect our speech rights and prevent the left from infringing on our liberties. We must hold the left accountable for their actions and continue to fight for our rights, no matter what the opposition says.

PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP’S SPEECH AT CPAC 2023: ‘This Is The Final Battle’

The peoples candidate. #Trump2024!

Trump Promises ‘Quantum Leap’ for a New America

Former President Donald Trump has revealed his dream for a new America ahead of the 2024 presidential race, promising to bring back the country’s boldness “in a very big way” and heralding a “quantum leap” in living standards.

“Past generations of Americans pursued big dreams and daring projects that once seemed absolutely impossible. They pushed across an unsettled continent and built new cities in the wild frontier. They transformed American life with the interstate highway system, magnificent it was, and they launched a vast network of satellites into orbit all around the earth. But today, our country has lost its boldness. Under my leadership, we will get it back in a very big way,” Trump said in a video address released Friday.

“If you look at just three years ago, what we were doing was unthinkable. How good it was, how great it was for our country. Our objective will be a quantum leap in the American standard of living. That’s what will happen.”

Pointing out that a third of the American landmass is owned by the federal government, Trump noted that just a “very small portion of that land” amounting to “one-half of one percent” can be used to hold a contest to “charter up to 10 new cities and award them to the best proposals for development.”

“In other words, we’ll actually build new cities in our country again. These Freedom Cities will reopen the frontier, reignite American imagination, and give hundreds of thousands of young people and other people, all hard-working families, a new shot at home ownership and in fact the American dream.”

Transportation, Manufacturing

A “big opportunity” that Trump cites in the video is in the transportation sector. In the United States and China, numerous companies are “racing” to develop vertical takeoff and landing vehicles.

In the last century, it was the United States that led the automotive revolution. “I want to ensure that America, not China, leads the revolution in air mobility. These breakthroughs can transform commerce, bring a giant infusion of wealth into rural America, and connect families in our country in new ways,” Trump said.

An American company engaged in vertical takeoff vehicle development is California-based Wisk. Last January, Wisk announced that it had secured $450 million in funding from Boeing.

In August, San Jose-based Archer Aviation received a $10 million deposit from United Airlines for an order of 100 electric takeoff and landing air taxis.

Trump also proposed a “strategic national manufacturing initiative” that will turn “forgotten communities into hives of industry.” This will ensure that these communities produce goods that the United States will no longer have to import from China. The initiative is going to be “very, very successful.”

The American manufacturing sector is currently struggling through various challenges like inflation, talent scarcity, supply chain problems, and economic uncertainty.

“Manufacturers continue to grapple with talent challenges that may limit the industry’s growth momentum. Moreover, supply-chain issues, including sourcing bottlenecks, global logistics backlogs, cost pressures, and cyberattacks, will likely remain critical challenges in 2023,” Deloitte said in its 2023 manufacturing outlook report.

Lowering Costs, Other Initiatives

Trump also promised to introduce a “major initiative” to lower the cost of living, especially focusing on reducing the cost of a new car and the cost of building single-family homes.

Annual inflation has remained above 6 percent every single month since October 2021. New vehicle inflation has remained above 5 percent every month since June 2021.

The median sales price of homes in the country hit $467,000 in the fourth quarter, up 10. 4 percent from the same period a year back. The United States is estimated to be facing a shortage of 3.8 million to 5 million homes.

Trump also intends to ask Congress to support “baby bonuses” for young parents, a move he hopes will trigger a “baby boom.”

He promised to carry out a “great modernization and beautification campaign” in 50 states that will get rid of ugly buildings, refurbish public spaces and parks, ensure a pristine environment, make cities and towns more livable, and build “towering monuments to our true American heroes.”

“Very importantly, I will also make sure all of these new places are safe. We love and cherish our police. They will do the job the way they have to,” Trump said.

“It is time to start talking about greatness for our country again. I will dramatically increase living standards and build a future that brings our country together through excitement, opportunity, and success.”

TRUMP PREVIEWS ANTICIPATED CPAC SPEECH ON SATURDAY: ‘SEE YOU THERE!’

By RSBN, March 2, 2023

President Donald Trump promised to deliver a recipe that would “fix” the myriad of problems plaguing the United States at the hands of the inept Biden administration, previewing his anticipated remarks on Saturday at the 2023 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in a statement posted to Truth Social.

“I will be at CPAC on Saturday, talking about the fact that, obviously, our Country is going to ‘HELL,’ and how to fix it,” he wrote on Thursday. “Also, the Democrats use of Radical Left Prosecutors and the WEAPONIZATION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT. It is illegal, has never been used and abused like this, and has the potential to bring down our once fair and wonderful Country. These Marxist Thugs have been after me for years, only to help them win elections. In just Two Years, we have become a Third World Failing Nation. MAGA!!!”

Highlights: “We are going to finish what we started,” he said. “We’re going to complete the mission. We’re going to see this battle through to ultimate victory.”

“This is the final battle,” he said.

News On 6: He also argued the experience of his first term is a plus: “Now I am experienced and I know the people of Washington.”

“We’ll appropriately deal with the RINOs,” he said, referencing the moniker for “Republicans In Name Only.” “We will never go back to the party of Paul Ryan, Karl Rove and Jeb Bush.”

Rove held a donor conference in Austin, Texas, last week featuring several potential 2024 candidates, while Ryan, the 2012 GOP vice presidential nominee, has said he’ll support “anybody but Trump” in the 2024 race.

Trump took note of how some Republicans, without naming them — such as his former Vice President Mike Pence, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and Nikki Haley, former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. — have supported reforms to social security and medicare.

“We are never going back to the people that want to destroy our great social security system … even some in our own party, I wonder who that might be,” he said.

On foreign policy, another issue that has divided Trump from other potential opponents, he repeatedly talked about preventing further U.S. intervention in wars, and claimed he “will prevent, very easily, World War III. And you’re going to have World War III if something doesn’t happen fast.”

Trump frequently brought up the multiple subpoenas he’s received regarding both his handling of classified documents found at his resort in Mar-a-Lago, to his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol that was investigated by a House select committee.

Trump is also facing a civil lawsuit from New York Attorney General Letitia James, who alleges the former president and his business committed fraud by manipulating his property values to his benefit. He is also facing an investigation in Georgia over his attempts to overturn his loss in the state in the 2020 general election.

Trump called James and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, both of whom are Black women, as “racist.”

“Every time the polls get higher and higher, the prosecutors get crazier and crazier,” Trump said, joking that he didn’t know the word “subpoena” until after he became president.

“They’re not coming after me, they’re coming after you, and that’s why I’m standing here today. I’m standing before you because we’re going to finish what we started. We’re going to complete the mission,” Trump, who launched his third bid for the presidency in November 2022, told the supportive CPAC crowd that frequently chanted “four more years!”

Trump also alleged he “won the second election,” a continuation of his baseless claims that the 2020 election was stolen. The rhetoric has been cited by Republicans publicly as a reason for the party’s lackluster performance in the 2022 midterm elections.

Prior to his speech, Trump cleared the conference’s straw poll — which CPAC says 2,000 attendees completed — with 62% of the vote. DeSantis, thought of as Trump’s most formidable rival in part due to his history of fundraising and rankings in early polls on the primary, was second with 20% of the vote.

The event, which usually attracts a number of presidential hopefuls beginning to launch their campaigns, featured only the other two candidates who have declared their candidacy, Haley, and biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. Among the major GOP figures mulling a bid, only former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo addressed the conference. Several of them skipped out on CPAC and instead appeared at a donor retreat in Palm Beach, Florida, hosted by the conservative group Club for Growth.

The absence of the other possible contenders did not escape Trump’s notice. He posted on Truth Social Thursday, “The only reason certain ‘candidates’ won’t be going to CPAC is because the crowds have no interest in anything they have to say. They’ve heard it all before, and don’t want to hear it again.”

The conference was filled with Trump allies and his former administration officials, both on the speaking lineup on the main stage, and in the numerous conservative media booths that line the hallways.

Before his keynote speech, Trump gave remarks to a private gathering at the conference with VIP donors and Republican figures, such as unsuccessful Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and conservative commentator and lawyer Mark Levin.

From outside the room, he was heard saying he gets a subpoena “every time I fly over a blue state.”

Greene, who has already announced she’s backing Trump, took questions from reporters Friday during which she criticized or dismissed Trump’s official and potential presidential primary opponents, such as Haley or Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who did not attend the conference.

“It’s nice that they’re running, but they’re not going to win,” Greene predicted when she was asked about the Republican politicians who opted not to attend the conference.

Though he hasn’t announced an official 2024 campaign yet, DeSantis is considered Trump’s biggest threat in a primary. Trump and his campaign have already gone on the attack against the Florida governor he endorsed in 2018, regularly referring to him as “Ron DeSanctimonious” and running Facebook ads showing a photo of DeSantis and Trump with the caption: “Pictured: An Apprentice Learning from the Master.”

DeSantis has glossed over Trump’s criticism, and in a recent Fox News interview pointed to Trump’s 2018 support for him.

“Then I win a big victory and all of a sudden, you know, he had different opinions, and so you can take that for what it’s worth,” DeSantis told Fox News on Tuesday..

“I mean, he’s obviously a big, big fish, but I get attacked all the time from every different angle and you either put points on the board or you don’t. And so I just focus on delivering the wins. And I think we’ve done a pretty good job of following through on our promises,” DeSantis added.

Haley, who spoke at CPAC on Friday and was greeted with chants of “Trump! Trump! Trump!” by his supporters as she was leaving the conference, took some shots at the former president during her remarks to the Club for Growth donor retreat on Saturday.

“The last two Republican presidents added more than $10 trillion to the national debt. Think about that. A third of our debt happened under just two Republicans,” said Haley, who has argued she represents the generational change needed for the party. “If we nominate another big spender in 2024, we’re going to lose.”

Laura Thilman, a Republican voter from Arizona, said while “it’s way too early” to pick a presidential primary candidate, she’d vote for Trump “if I had to vote today.”

“We need a president that’s going to come in and hit the ground running,” she said. “But here’s the deal, the best man wins. I’m not clairvoyant, I don’t know who that could be yet.”

ISRAEL: Muslims Fire at Passing Cars, Murder American Citizen

Nides noted that “sadly, a US citizen was killed in one of the terror attacks in the West Bank tonight.”

Yet he continues to devote the lion’s share of his time to aiding the supporters and enablers of the jihad terrorists who killed Elan Ganeles.

Elan Ganeles identified as U.S. citizen murdered in terror attack near Jericho

by Tzvi Joffre, Jerusalem Post, February 27, 2023:

A US-Israeli dual national was killed in a shooting attack near the Beit HaArava Junction on Highway 90 in the Jordan Valley on Monday afternoon.

Elan Ganeles was identified as the US citizen who was killed in a shooting attack near the Beit HaArava Junction on Highway 90 in the Jordan Valley on Monday afternoon.

Ganeles, from West Hartford, Connecticut, recently graduated from Columbia University. Ganeles’ funeral will take place in Israel and his family will return to Connecticut to sit Shiva, according to an announcement by the Young Israel of West Hartford….

Video from the scene at Beit HaArava showed the terrorists driving up to the junction and firing at passing cars. A passing car was damaged although no injuries were caused. The terrorists then proceeded to the Mul Nevo area where they shot an Israeli, critically injuring him.

The victim, 26 years old Ganales, was transferred to Hadassah Medical Center at Har Zofim in critical condition as paramedics conducted resuscitation efforts. He was pronounced dead at the hospital. On Monday night, US Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides confirmed that “sadly, a US citizen was killed in one of the terror attacks in the West Bank tonight.”

The terrorists proceeded to drive to the area of the Monastery of Saint George in Wadi Qelt, burned their vehicle and switched to a different vehicle before driving away from the area.

The roads leading to Jericho were closed as Israeli forces searched for the terrorists.

Israel Police chief Kobi Shabtai spoke with M. an officer at the Maale Adumim police station who clashed with the terrorists who carried out the attack.

“I arrived on shift and while I was getting ready, we received a message about hearing gunshots in Beit Arava. We went out there right away and while doing so we realized that there are three scenes,” said M. “At a certain point we detected smoke and got closer and found a car on fire with yellow license plates and we realized that it was the vehicle of the terrorists. One of the terrorists aimed a firearm at us and we immediately fired at the terrorists.”

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist movement welcomed the attack on Monday evening, saying “Resistance operations are continuing, and the enemy will pay the price for all its crimes.”

“The occupation and its fascist government bear full responsibility, and whoever lights the fire and sponsors terrorism must bear the consequences of its terrorism and aggression,” said the movement. “The Islamic Jihad movement warns the occupation against persisting in aggression and unleashing the hands of settlers, which will lead to more resistance operations that may reach the Zionist depth. Settlement wherever it is found, it is a legitimate target for the resistance.”…

February 2023 Florida County Republican Registrations Report

Florida Republicans continue the trend of making gains as Republican registrations relative to Democrat registrations increased by 30,828 registrations in January and by 126,395 registrations since the book closing for the 2022 general election. Florida Republicans now have a 432,345 relative registrations advantage over the Democrats. Republican registrations were 36.63% of total registrations and Republicans now enjoy a 2.99% of total registrations advantage over the Democrats (click here to view tables).

The Democrats continue the Biden era phenomena of losing significant numbers of registrations as Democrats lost 35,594 Registrations in February and over 95,000 registrations since the 2022 book closing. The registrations of Republicans fell slightly (4,766 registrations), and the number of registrations which are neither Republican nor Democrat decreased slightly (1,114 registrations), in February (see attached charts).

The Republican share of the total presidential popular vote has been in a very noticeable long-term decline.

Republicans need to change strategy.

  • The Republican Party peak in popularity took place nearly 40 years ago as Ronald Reagan carried the popular vote by a roughly 16-million vote margin over his Democrat opponent in the 1984 Presidential Election.
  • In 2020, the Republican popular presidential vote loss was by roughly 7 million votes.
  • The popular Republican presidential vote margin loss between 1984 and 2020 was roughly 23 million votes, an average loss of roughly 2.5 million votes every presidential election cycle.
  • These negative Republican vote trends are continuing, and the 2024 Republican presidential candidate will need to overcome a popular vote deficit approaching 10 million votes to win the 2024 election.

The difficulty of this task cannot be overstated!

How have Democrat presidential candidates made such large gains in their share of the presidential vote? The Democrats, and their allies, implemented policies favorable to creating and retaining Democrat voters.

The Democrat strategy is to capture the vote of the young, and then to keep the young voters from becoming Republican as they age. The Republican voters lost to the aging process are then replaced by Democrat voters, causing a comparative loss in the Republican share of the vote. Based on an average voter being able to vote in 16 presidential elections in their lifetime, Democrats will gain a roughly 2% of the total vote advantage every election cycle by using this strategy! Two percent of the popular vote equates to a little over three million votes, which is roughly the loss of margin between presidential elections that has taken place over the last 40 years!

How do Democrats keep their voters from becoming Republican voters? Democrats accomplish this by advancing policies which keeps their voters relatively poor, single, and in home rentership. The vote gains made by Democrats advancing policies which keep Democrat voters relatively poor, single, and in rentership, are additive, continuous, and relentless!

It seems Republicans find it difficult to believe these Democrat strategies work, and therefore even the recognition of the strategy even existing is rejected out-of-hand by Republicans. Relatively poor, single, and those who rent their housing is the description of most voters living in our major cities, which have become Democrat strongholds. If Republicans are to regain their lost share of the vote, they need to recognize the source of the loss!

Republican strategies should focus on positively changing the underlying political orientation of an election district by facilitating voters to become wealthier, married, and propertied!

Family Formation, with an Emphasis on Early Family Formation

  • Married people tend to vote more Republican than singles.
  • The trends to never marry and marrying later in life, both diminish the Republican vote.

Lower Rates of Home Rentership

People who rent their housing vote overwhelmingly Democrat

  • Renting is roughly four times more predictive of a person voting Democrat than owning is predictive of a person voting Republican.

Robust Job and Real Estate Markets

  • Families need to have the means to purchase fairly priced homes created in competitive real estate markets.

To make these changes takes time. To talk about making these changes may start immediately. A universal Republican message informing the Democrat rank-and-file that they are being abused by their Democrat Party, and that Republicans wish for them to have the ability to escape being forced into a lifelong lifestyle of being relatively poor, single, and renters of their housing!

Citizens for Sanity Ad Exposes How Democrat’s RACIST ‘Equity Mandates’ Are Destroying America

“The uncontested absurdities of today are the accepted slogans of tomorrow. They come to be accepted by degrees, by dint of constant pressure on one side and constant retreat on the other – until one day when they are suddenly declared to be the country’s official ideology.” — Ayn Rand


There’s a new group that is contesting the uncontested absurdities of today. This group is called Citizens for Sanity and they are attacking the insanities we are witnessing daily from the political leadership from the school house to the White House.

Citizens for Sanity’s mission is to return common sense to America, to highlight the importance of logic and reason, and to defeat “wokeism” and anti-critical thinking ideologies that have permeated every sector of our country and threaten the very freedoms that are foundational to the American Dream.

WATCH: Equity = Bigotry.

In a Blaze Media article titled Protect pregnant men from climate discrimination’: Conservative group runs ads with preposterous messages that highlight the absurdity of left-wing ideology reported,

A conservative organization called Citizens for Sanity is running ads that highlight the absurdity of woke left-wing ideology.

The group’s posts on Twitter indicate that its billboard ads include statements such as:

  • “Protect Pregnant Men from Climate Discrimination”
  • “Open the jails. Open the borders. Close the schools. Vote progressive this November.”
  • “Violent criminals deserve our compassion and respect. This fall, stand strong for progressive values.”
  • “Vote to keep our borders, jails and bathrooms open. Vote progressive.”
  • “Too much freedom is a bad thing. Get your IRS audit today.”
  • “If you don’t like being audited then you’re the problem.”
  • “Don’t let the radical right put our neighborhood street gangs behind bars. Support Joe Biden & Progressive Candidates.”

The group, which is a tax-exempt nonprofit, according to Politico, is also running ads in other forms of media. According to Politico, the group said it would push a television ad that focuses on the topic of transgender individuals competing in girls’ sports.

The ad shows a biological boy defeating girls in a race. “Woke left-wing politicians are destroying girls’ sports,” the ad declares.

Lawless Democrat Portland Loses Its Last Walmart

Elections have consequences. Big box retailers forced out of Democrat-controlled Portland.

Walmart announced it is permanently closing all of its locations in Portland, Oregon.

You reap what you vote.

The announcements come just a few months after the Walmart CEO warned stores could close and prices could increase in light of sky-high retail crimes affecting stores across the country.

“Theft is an issue. It’s higher than what it has historically been,” Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said in December on CNBC. He added that “prices will be higher and/or stores will close” if authorities don’t crack down on prosecuting shoplifting crimes.

Big Box Retailers Forced Out Of Democrat-Controlled Portland And More

By: Erica Carlin, Liberty One News, march 3, 2023:

Cities under Democrat rule are rapidly becoming lawless. Nowhere is this more evident than in Portland, Oregon, where Mayor Ted Wheeler has refused Nike’s request for help with theft in its Northeast store and Walmart has been forced to close its remaining stores in the city.

The situation at Nike’s store is emblematic of the issues facing businesses in liberal-run cities. The store has been closed for months due to rampant retail theft and Nike asked Mayor Wheeler if the city could either pay to hire additional cops to patrol the area or pay off-duty cops to do so.

But Wheeler refused, citing the city’s “significant personnel constraint” as a result of the city’s “brush with defunding the police”—a ludicrous idea that Portland embraced in 2020, sending experienced officers running for the exits.

Instead, he asked Nike to re-open its store “on a limited basis” and suggested that the company may be part of the problem by refusing to allow its security guards to detain shoplifters. Of course, Nike won’t do that for fear of liability, and it’s no wonder Amazon hasn’t wiped out 100% of local businesses trying to deal with this nonsense.

It’s a similar story for Walmart. The retail giant recently confirmed that it is closing all remaining stores in Portland due to the rise of theft. Walmart CEO Doug McMillon warned in December that the company might have to close stores or raise prices if things didn’t improve.

Pedo Protégé: Mentored by Pete Buttigieg, Democrat Mayor Arrested for Child P*rn

Patrick Wojahn, the Maryland mayor busted on charges of possessing child pornography Thursday has had a longtime mentor-mentee relationship with President Biden’s embattled Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

Wojahn was arrested on 56 counts of possession and distribution of child pornography.

Former College Park Mayor Wojahn, 47, has credited Buttigieg’s “mentorship” with helping him advance his career in interviews.

“I actually met Mayor Pete Buttigieg shortly after I was elected mayor in 2015,” Wojahn, who is gay, told the Washington Blade, an LGBT-focused news outlet, back in 2019.

Wojahn explained how the former South Bend, Ind., mayor, who is also gay, was tasked with being his “buddy” at a gathering of mayors in Washington long before Buttigieg’s 2020 White House run.

Democrat Mayor Who Was Arrested for Child P*rn Mentored by Pete Buttigieg

By: Trending Politics, March 3, 2023

On Thursday, authorities announced that Patrick Wojahn, the mayor of College Park, Maryland, had been arrested on numerous charges of suspected child p*rnography and had subsequently resigned from his position.

The Prince George’s County Police Department reported that Wojahn, 47, was accused of 56 counts of alleged child p*rnography, including 40 counts of possessing child exploitative material and 16 counts of distributing child exploitative material.

According to the Washington Blade, Wojhan was mentored by Pete Buttigieg. The article was written in 2019 and goes into depth about the relationship the two political figures had.

During his Council elections and his first run as a mayoral candidate, Wojahn knew he had no choice but to run as an openly gay man because of his media prominence with the marriage equality lawsuit.

But being elected as an out gay mayor landed him a fortuitous mentor…

The two continued to talk over the phone and Buttigieg explained the conference to him and what would take place at the meeting. Later, they would both attend a White House reception during the Obama administration where Dave and Chasten (Buttigieg) would meet as well.

Wojahn said, “I actually met Mayor Pete Buttigieg shortly after I was elected mayor in 2015, I went to the U.S. Conference of Mayors’ Winter Meeting in D.C. in January and he was assigned to be my buddy.”

Buttigieg continued to mentor Wojahn.

Wojhan and Buttigieg faced similar LGBTQ issues. “We talked about balancing competing interests.”

“Some people raised concerns like does this mean we have to open City Hall to anyone who wants to fly a flag?” Wojhan claimed. “Like if the Ku Klux Klan wants to fly a flag.”

“Once we say we are an LGBT-friendly community, we don’t have to also then say we are not an LGBT-friendly community. That’s not what free speech is about.” Wojhan finished.

Cracks in the Leftist-Islamic Alliance: Hamas-linked CAIR Lobbies Hard Against LGBTQ Rights Bill

The Leftist-Islamic alliance, which has been rolling along without a hitch for many years now, has hit a pothole in the form of the Left’s mad quest to sexualize children and push trans fantasies upon them. Catholics and other Christians have been grateful for the help and excited about strengthening their new alliances with Muslim groups. They should be aware, however, that an alliance against a common foe will not override Islam’s teachings regarding Christianity.

Muslim group warns LGBTQ rights bill could encroach on religious liberty: ‘Cramming this legislation through’

by Joshua Q. Nelson, Fox News, March 2, 2023:

A Muslim advocacy group told Fox News Digital that an LGBTQ rights bill in Michigan is likely “unconstitutional” due to its encroachment on religious freedom.

The Counsel [sic] of American Islamic Relations [CAIR] launched a petition urging lawmakers to add religious protections to proposed amendments to the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act (ELCRA), which seeks to include sexual orientation and gender identity.

The ELCRA has provided protections for Michiganders based on religion, race, sex and other demographics since 1976. LGBTQ advocates have been pushing to be included in the bill for years to ensure they don’t face discrimination.

However, while expanding the rights for LGBTQ members, the bill could remove protections for faith-based organizations that believe marriage is between one man and one woman, or biological differences between men and women.

“CAIR Michigan believes along with some other religious groups that have done the policy and the legal research that there are provisions of this bill that could be struck down as unconstitutional including that provision that requires that covenant,” CAIR-MI Staff Attorney Amy Doukoure told Fox News Digital.

The proposed amendment to ELCRA was introduced last month and received support from Democrats and Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

Doukoure said that officials are “cramming this legislation through” and “have not yet agreed to meet with their religious constituents that have religious concerns over this bill.”

Catholic and Protestant groups and Republicans also challenged the bill alongside Muslims. These groups are concerned that the bill could lead to discrimination against religious and conservative people, as well as expose them to potential lawsuits if they believe in the traditional marriage of one man and a woman and their views on biological differences between men and women.

Doukoure said that CAIR partnered with the Michigan Catholic Conference, which is the main lobbying and advocacy wing of the Catholic Church in Michigan, in calling for religious protections in the bill.

“They have a lot of lobbying power. They testified in front of the Senate about the Senate version of this bill,” she said.

“We work with them on a regular basis in matters where our interests align in the preservation of religious freedoms,” Doukoure said.

CAIR’s petition received more than triple the signatures than their goal of 500. The petition is intended to urge lawmakers to add reasonable language to any expansion of the ELCRA to provide religious protections in order to prevent “expensive and lengthy” litigation over First Amendment rights….

Fox News Digital has reached out to the sponsor of the bill, Jeremy Moses, for comment on Doukoure’s claims. Moses said that CAIR never reached out to his office. However, he said that he did have a meeting with the Michigan Catholic Conference and they “could not come to an agreement on amendment language.”…

Evidence of the CDC’s Covid Conspiracy

The CDC recently announced the scheduling of a confidential meeting to develop a public health tool to predict the virality of vaccine misinformation narratives.  Of course, we know that they perceive truth to be misinformation. So, their intent is to stop it.

What they intend to do is come out with a new policy which will stop, or at least impede, the reporting of the truth of the deaths and serious life-time injuries caused by the so-called Covid-19 “vaccine.”

As you can imagine, the reporting of the truth is causing many more people to see through the Big Lie. So, it just naturally follows that it’s making the liars, especially at the top, very uncomfortable. But, if they only knew that the amount of discomfort they have now (if they have any) is nothing compared to what they will experience at the GREAT WHITE THRONE judgement.

It’s hard for the AGENDA (Conspiracy for global depopulation of 85 to 90 percent) to keep the BIG LIE going with reporting of the truth by writers like Kelleigh Nelson, in articles like Mass murder by a medical system that has lost its direction and soul.”

In this article she asks several questions, then follows up with the answers – such as:

“Have the AMA, CDC, FDA, NIH protocols saved patients? Hell no! They have purposely murdered thousands, perhaps millions, who could have been saved. The dissident doctors, scientists and healthcare workers know there are repurposed drugs (inexpensive and available) that could have saved up to 86 percent of those who perished. Have those stakeholders lied about hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin? Yes, even Lancet and New England Journal of Medicine lied.”

Was the CIA involved in planning this pandemic? Yes! Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s book, The Real Anthony Fauci, states that there were over 20 “pandemic” simulations beginning in 2000, and Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci and the CIA were involved in every one of them. “The CIA wrote the script, high-level CIA officials participated in every one of those pandemic simulations.”

Kennedy states, “So they practiced again and again and again: How to use the pandemic as a pretext for imposing totalitarian controls and for obliterating liberal democracy across the planet.”

“This was all part of a decades-old globalist-devised blueprint for the future.”

“New World System”

Continuing, she says, “The previous two nightmare years were engineered decades ago and exposed in the 1960s. Dr. Vernon Coleman’s short 17-minute video explains what the globalists architects were up to back then and where we are today…frighteningly close to completion. He mentioned a dystopian lecture by Dr. Richard Day.”

Now, this is very important. Please click on the links in her article – the one about Dr. Coleman’s 17-minute video, and the link to, or log on to “NWO plans exposed by Insider Dr. Richard Day in 1969 as transcribed by Dr. Lawrence Dunegan.”

There is a lot of information in this article concerning things you need to know and prepare for.

We need to be prepared mentally. Emotionally, and above all spiritually, in order to survive until we are caught-up to be with the Lord, i.e., “The Rapture.”

And now this from Judge Anna Von Reitz:

“Remember Lord Pirbright, he was the man who brought the world its first concentration camp during the Boer War in Africa. He was rewarded instead of being hung, so that just encouraged more of it.

Yes, concentration camps were a British invention, not German.

Besides being the first Concentration Camps, the camps established during the Boer War boasted another “first.” Pirbright experimented on his Dutch and African prisoners, injecting them with various substances in the name of medical science.

Pirbright was a loathsome elitist and proponent of racial purity. He also championed “eugenics”—the purported science of breeding better human stock, similar to breeding American Kennel Club dogs, and generally treating people like animals, i.e., guinea pigs.

It should come as no surprise to anyone that the Pirbright Institute’s fingerprints are all over the origins of the present disastrous genocide.

Despite their efforts being already outlawed when they began them, these criminals contrived to evade every form of law you can think of, every standard of decency that is customary, and imposed upon their Elite peers, (that is, Canaanite members of the Saturnine Brotherhood) who are not very bright but are very evil and lacking in conscience. To support the mRNA “vaccine” pseudo-scientific medical profiteering scheme, for the sake of money. Profits…

What they liked, what they have always liked, is the death and dismemberment of “inferiors” for profit. By war, by disease, by injection—It hardly matters how, so long as people die, and they profit from it.

I think it is now irrefutably proven who the inferiors. among us really are. And despite their money, they are mentally inferior, morally inferior, and emotionally inferior in every way.

Here’s one of them, Dr. Mylo Canderian of Pirbright UK.  He is under contract with the World Economic Forum and Pfizer, should be shoveling coal in hell. Take a good look at the monster under the bed.  He would give you nightmares if you found him lurking in your closet?”

“Dr. Canderian openly claims that even if the mRNA experiment should fail to have the desired effect of reducing the world population by 90%, the poisons (prions, graphene, polyethylene glycol, CF clotting factors, heartworms and other goodies injected along with it), will kill everyone who took the jab by 2030. He gleefully guarantees it.”

This is all I can cover of this article; I only did this much to help some understand the kind of beings we are confronted with, although those which are aligned against us are even worse, I think, than those described in the article.

Check out the entire article, Britain, again, Guilty as Charged by Anna Von Reitz.

According to Mike Adams of Natural News, to truly understand why the Wuhan Coronavirus (Covid-19) is still being reported as a problem almost two years since it was first announced, look no further than the “vaccines,” which Dr. Richard Fleming says are the true bioweapon.

Appearing in a recent Brighteon interview with Mike Adams, the Health Ranger – watch here – Fleming talked about his new book, Is Covid-19 a Bioweapon?: A scientific and forensic investigation, as well as the history of the coronavirus bioweapons and how we got to this point.

“The mass vaccination protocol being promoted by the likes of Tony Fauci is having a disastrous impact on public health,” Fleming explained. This thing would have been long gone had the virus simply been allowed to run its course without Donald “father of the vaccine” Trump’s “Operation Warp Speed” injections, which are fueling the mutation and spread of new Chinese “variants.”

Dr. Fleming’s interview is extremely interesting, and a very informative account of what has, and continues to be going on behind the scenes, not only nationally, but globally.

The interview is very long but everyone needs to listen to all of it.

“If you take a drug vaccine that is directed towards just a type of one part of variant of a species of coronavirus, and you make an immune response to that, you’ll make an immune response, but when you dump billions of that into the body, you’ll make a massive immune response and have very adverse effects, which is what we’re seeing,” Fleming explained to Adams about the surge in new variant “cases.”

“We were able to put pressure on the virus to promote one of the variants, in this case delta…that if you actually attack one part of the virus, you’ll promote the spread of the other types that are immune because the antibodies are completely different for that type of spike protein.”

The pressure of which Fleming speaks is selective pressure induced by the injections. Much like how antibiotic drug use fuels the mutation and spread of often times deadlier “super bugs.” Fauci Flu shots are doing the same thing to the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19).

I am somewhat puzzled concerning all the above relative to the variants; for it is my understanding that at the outset the “Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19)” could not be seen. That being the case, then, how do we produce variants from something which can’t be isolated?

According to Dr. Fleming, “All this was done with American taxpayer dollars, by the way, funneled by Fauci into several different channels both here and abroad. Fort Detrick in Maryland is said to have been involved, as was the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. And everyone involved, including Fauci, has violated the Biological Weapons Convention Treaty in the process.”

“Now these people are criminally culpable,” says Fleming. “They have violated the Biological Weapons Convention Treaty. They have violated the Informed Consent with the Declaration of Helsinki. They have violated the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights Treaty. They have violated the Nuremberg Code. Physicians in the United States who are vaccinating people who have not read the package inserts to obtain the information about drugs are violating their Hippocratic oath – but wait a minute, there’s nothing on those package inserts because they are intentionally blank.”

Now, I have a lot of confidence and faith in Dr. Fleming and what he is involved in – trying to bring these War Criminals, whoever they might be, to justice. However, we know that those involved in this conspiracy began many years ago to incrementally change the laws which they would be confronted with in their endeavor to bring their plans to fruition. So, any action to bring the evidence of Crimes Against Humanity before an international tribunal, could be completely blocked. However, we must keep doing whatever we can to help insure the survival of resistance.

Now, as to those people which Dr. Fleming says are criminally culpable, which there are many. I have seen a partial list of names as long as my arm, however, at this point in time it appears that any action we might take to bring them to justice – is blocked. But, even though we may not have access to an entity which can make them pay for their crimes against humanity – their justice awaits them at the Great White Throne.

For more on this go to Bailiwick News, “Expanded Kill Box Slide Deck and new videos.”

Then there’s this:

What we are witnessing currently is a political and cultural system which could very well be moving into an approach phase to what is written in Thessalonians 4:16, “For the Lord himself will descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.

Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus, we shall always be with the Lord.”

For those who don’t recognize the above, it is what many people call “The Rapture.” Now, I’m aware that that many refuse to believe there will be a “catching away,” because the word, rapture, is not in the bible.  However, the words relating to the catching-up of the “dead in Christ” first, then of those who alive and remain to be with the Lord forever – are written in God’s Word.

Here’s the point, if we are in the approach phase, which we very well could be, — to the catching-up of all those who belong to Christ – then everything to that end is a given – which is to say, that the approach will continue; there will be nothing to stop it or turn it around – it will be completely inadvertent.

Nevertheless, we should not stop our resistance to the evil plans of the conspiracy. On the contrary, I believe we should increase our resistance. For this may not be the approach phase, although I think it is, but then – I could be wrong.

This is something which we cannot correctly discern – only the Lord knows the time and place.
