VIDEO: Sometimes Conservation is a Bear

How do we find the best solutions for both bears, and people too?

That’s what Gabriella Hoffman set off to find out on the latest episode of CFACT’s Conservation Nation series. Hoffman traveled to Montana and Wyoming to interview stakeholders and find out what’s really going on with Grizzly and Black Bear conservation.

Watch the full episode.

Environmentalists would have you believe that to properly conserve nature, humans must have zero interaction with it. Nothing could be further from the truth. When people are properly managing lands and wildlife, both people and animals thrive. That’s exactly the point those on the ground in Big Sky Country working with the bears had to say.

Listen to their stories for yourself!

Hoffman also brought this “conservation is conservative” message to several college campuses as well, including Florida State and Appalachian State University in North Carolina. Speeches at Michigan Technical University, George Mason University, Boston University, and the Ohio State University are also scheduled.

Students got to hear about how hunting and fishing helps drive conservation efforts, and why proper use of our federal lands (by allowing energy production on them!) helps fund National Parks and drive energy independence.

If only some representatives from the Biden Administration could have attended and learned something!

Finally, every week, CFACT promotes a commonsense conservation message through Hoffman’s District of Conservation podcast, sponsored by CFACT. Check out some of the latest episodes, like this one that covers how Virginia is now open for hunting on Sundays, and this one that lambasts Biden’s energy and land use policies for playing into Putin’s hands when it comes to gas prices.

Share these videos and podcasts with a friend, and let’s spread the word that real conservation requires humans to be involved through free markets, smart ideas, and local stakeholders.

PODCAST: Divine comedy? Or just plain Biden madness?

Here’s this week’s Shout Out Patriots Show: Biden is running America like a Saturday Night Live comedy script.

First, thanks to all those who have been listening or watching our show and keeping Shout Out Patriots in the top 25% of all podcasts. Our show has been tremendously successful – in no small part – because of friends of Christian Action Network.

If you haven’t seen our show in a while, please take another look.

We have improved both our sound and video quality and I think you’ll be more than pleased with the amazing results.

Have you ever found yourself laughing at the news, even if begrudgingly?

Lately, reading the news is more like reading a bad Saturday Night Live comedy script. But since laughter is the best medicine, a few chuckles here and there might help us survive the daily dose of deplorably depressing news.

In this episode of Shout Out Patriots, we are bringing attention to some of the dumbest, comical and cringeworthy statements and actions made by world leaders during the past couple of weeks.

How about Joe Biden’s statement earlier this month claiming that five cops died during the January 6, 2021, Capitol Hill riots?

No cops died that day. Just protesters.

Or that bizarre photo of Vladimir Putin surrounding himself with five beautiful female flight attendants and pilots?

The Russian president is normally pictured at least 10-feet away from state dignitaries over his fear of catching Covid.

Does Putin know something Fauci isn’t telling us? That Covid can be shielded by five beautiful women?

Not to be outdone by Biden or Putin, the United Nations added some twaddle of its own this month.

The world body instructed its staff not to describe the Ukrainian conflict as a “war” or an “invasion.” Such trigger words might present the organization with a “reputational risk, the UN warned.

Perhaps the UN forgot about this 2015 headline that already ruined that reputation:

“UN aid workers raped 60,000 people and employs 3,300 pedophiles.”

And how do we understand this nonsense from the Biden administration on how to survive a nuclear war:

“Stay inside for 24 hours unless local authorities provide other instructions. Continue to practice social distancing by wearing a mask and by keeping a distance of at least six feet between yourself and people who not part of your household.”

Even Biden can’t believe that social distancing while wearing a face mask is sufficient to protect one from a thermal nuclear fireball, does he?

Of course not, at least we hope.

How Zelensky used social media to his advantage

It is generally acknowledged that following the news on social media has become more important, more popular and more influential than watching television news networks, which we always used to use to find out what was happening in the world. The Ukraine-Russia crisis has proven the validity of this theory beyond any doubt.

This justifies the fact that world leaders are turning to social media to convey their messages to their people in a simple manner on a platform that is followed by different age groups around the globe.

Before this conflict, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was barely known as a politician outside of his country; rather, he was the actor who became a president twice: Once on TV and once in real life.

Zelensky, as an actor, had a large social media following prior to his presidential bid, making it easier for his campaign to communicate and appeal to Ukrainian voters. In 2019, he won 73.2 percent of the vote in a runoff contest to beat incumbent Petro Poroshenko to the presidency.
Since the Russian invasion of his country, how has this inexperienced politician been able to get so much support from the world’s people? And how did he succeed in mobilizing such great help for the Ukrainian people, government and army?

Since the first day of the crisis, social media has helped the Ukrainians internationalize their cause and motivate European countries and the US to do everything they can to support their resistance.

Zelensky has emerged as a global hero. He set the example of a true leader when he rejected an American offer to evacuate him and his family to a safer location, saying: “I need ammunition, not a ride.” The New York Times said this phrase “will most likely go down in Ukrainian history, whether he survives this onslaught or not.”
This position brought to mind how Afghan President Ashraf Ghani last year fled the country when Taliban forces reached the outskirts of Kabul, leaving his army without leadership and encouraging troops to quickly give up. Ghani’s decision prompted the Americans and the wider Western community to wonder about the benefits of training the Afghanistan army and arming it, spending so much money, if forcing its surrender was that simple.

Zelensky understands very well the importance and influence of social media. He began flooding platforms with simple, impassioned and highly effective speeches, while also posting photos and videos of him and his government in the devastated streets of the capital, Kyiv, to deny all reports that he had fled the city or sought refuge in a neighboring country.

His social media following has significantly increased during the war. He has used his channels to provide continuous updates and as a platform to publicly address world leaders. At the time of writing, Zelensky has 14.1 million followers on Instagram and 4.7 million Twitter followers.

The Ukrainian leader knew how important it would be to win the sympathy and support of the world’s people. He understands the importance of public opinions and poll numbers in the Western world. Therefore, he speaks to the people, especially the younger generations that criticize their rulers for sending young people into wars they do not understand, while keeping their own children at home.

Millions of people subsequently took to the streets in many parts of the world to demand their rulers provide humanitarian and military aid to support the Ukrainian government and people. Zelensky has won the public opinion battle and succeeded in getting help. At the same time, he has inspired his fellow Ukrainians to defend their land just like their president.

I would say Zelensky has cleverly used social media platforms to aid his country’s cause. Without his media strategy, the situation could be far worse for Ukraine.

The War Between Those Who Want to be Adored and those Who Adore

“I was not born to be free—I was born to adore and obey.” ― C.S. Lewis


My wife asked me do I want to be adored or to adore? I will give you my answer to her at the end of this article.

After listening to this question I suddenly understood what ails the world yesterday, today and tomorrow. Adoration!

Adoration is defined as: deep love and respect, worship or veneration.

QUESTION: Who are what do you love, respect, worship or venerate?

To adore oneself or not to adore oneself, that is the question.

There are those who adore themselves, they adore a particular ideology, they worship a deity, they venerate objects.

Many have written about the Culture War we are experiencing. Many have written about the so called Woke Culture and Wokeism.

QUESTION: What is the foundation, the undergirding idea behind the Woke Culture?

ANSWER: It’s all about adoration!

Adoration 

Today there are roughly two groups of people, those who adore themselves and those who adore a higher calling. Let’s list what each of these groups adore.

Those who adore themselves:

  • Politicians.
  • The political class.
  • The elite.
  • Dictators, be they Fascist, Communists, Nazis, Islamists or just plain mean.
  • Hollywood actors, directors, producers, in general.
  • The LGBTQ+ community and those who support their agenda. After all they have “Gay Pride” month. Isn’t pride self-adoration?
  • Environmentalists.
  • Scientists.
  • Government officials at every level.
  • Corporate CEOs, who no longer care about their customers but are self absorbed in adoring themselves and all of the above.
  • The rich and powerful who control the legacy media, social media and what we see in films, TV and hear on the radio. Those who adore themselves are the ultimate propagandists.

The above list of self-adorers are interconnected and act according to their love of themselves and their collectivist ideals. They support one another to push policies that are anti-liberty, anti-life and anti-individual. For them it’s either idolize me or face sever consequences.

Those who adore a higher calling:

  • Those who love the God of Abraham. Except those who Jews who are part of the group above.
  • Those who love Jesus the Son of God. Except those Christians, including the Pope, who are part of the group above.
  • Those who love Allah, however some of these are starting to adore themselves more than their God.
  • Those who love their country. In America this group is called patriots.
  • Those who love their role in the traditional family made up of a mother, father and their biological children.
  • Those who love the sinner but hate their sins.
  • Those who believe in life, liberty and the individual pursuit of happiness.

Adoring one’s wife, family, children, grandchildren, country, God, etc. have a totally different world view than those who adore themselves. This group serve a higher calling. It’s not about the individual it’s about doing the right things. This group judges others by the content of their character not the color of their skin or political belief system.

The Bottom Line

Those who adore themselves think of what is good for me, myself and I. Those who adore on a higher plain think about others and doing the right thing.

Peter Kreeft said, “Only God may be adored, because only God is unlimited goodness, truth, and beauty, and thus only God deserves unlimited love.”

Canadian philosopher and author Matshona Dhliwayo wrote, “If a woman stands behind you, respect her; if she stands beside you, cherish her; if she stands with you, adore her.”

Now I will tell you how I answered by wife of 57 years when she asked me would you rather be adored or adore.

I told her that I would rather adore God and His Son, her, our son, our daughter-in-law, our grandchildren and our family.

I also adore my country, after have served in the United States Army for 23-years my love of my country, our flag and our Constitution is unyielding. Many of those I served with gave the last full measure of devotion to the nation. They to I adore for their sacrifices.

Do not adore is wrong, just don’t adore yourself, take the high ground and adore a higher calling. You will be happier, healthier and blessed.

Florida Company Shows California How to Build a Railroad With Its Brightline Rail System

A private company in Florida already has a new intercity passenger railroad up and running for a fraction of the cost of California’s ambitious high-speed rail.


When the Federal Government ordered the construction of the Interstate Highway System in the 1950s and 1960s (at a cost to taxpayers of roughly $580 billion in 2022 dollars), it all but killed America’s privately operated passenger railroads. Since then, rail travel in America has mostly consisted of government-subsidized Amtrak services of deteriorating quality that amble across the country, catering to a niche market of leisure travelers and those with no other options. On the busy Northeast Corridor between Boston and Washington D.C. there is still enough demand to operate a busy, profitable service, but elsewhere Amtrak’s services are too slow, inconvenient, and infrequent to effectively compete with highways and airlines.

But with gas prices rising and traffic congestion strangling many American cities, passengers, investors, and government planners are all reconsidering railroads. Several new projects have sprung up across the country, aiming to link major cities a few hundred miles apart, where a train might provide a more convenient journey than a plane, car, or bus. Some of these projects are led by state governments, others by private companies. The contrast between the two is dramatic. To illuminate that difference, compare the government-run California High Speed Rail project with Brightline, a new private rail system in Florida.

Approved in 2008, California High Speed Rail (CHSR) was expected to deliver a 520-mile two-track, electrified high-speed railway on an all-new route between Los Angeles and San Francisco by 2029. Fourteen years later, CHSR is now only expected to have a 171-mile single-track section between Madera and Bakersfield will be operational by 2030. Meanwhile the project’s cost has ballooned to $80 billion from an original budget of $33 billion, and costs are expected to rise further to $100 billion, or triple the original budget.

Meanwhile in Florida, a very different kind of passenger railroad is already up and running. Brightline was launched in 2012 by the Florida East Coast Railway, a private freight railroad. Unlike CHSR, Brightline mostly uses existing routes, removing the need to acquire (or appropriate) large amounts of land. Instead of building the whole line before beginning any passenger services (as CHSR is doing), Brightline began construction on a 70-mile section from Miami to West Palm Beach in 2014 and opened it to passengers in 2018. This meant that Brightline already had an operational, revenue-producing service before embarking on the 170-mile northward extension to Orlando Airport. That extension is expected to open in 2023, and the entire project will cost about $1.75 billion, raised through private financing.

This equates to about $7.3 million per mile for Brightline, compared to $153.8 million per mile for CHSR (using the current $80 billion budget). Why will CHSR cost at least twenty times more per mile than Brightline? How has Brightline managed to deliver a high-speed intercity passenger rail system within ten years whereas CHSR needs twenty-two years to deliver an incomplete, scaled-down version of its original plan? Much of the answer comes down to the fundamental nature of public works projects such as CHSR.

In his Economics in One Lesson, economist Henry Hazlitt noted that many (if not most) public works projects do not even aim to address a clear need. Instead, said Hazlitt, they are justified in two ways: in terms of the jobs they create, and the end product they will produce. However, this overlooks the many alternative ways in which private individuals and businesses may have spent the money that the government instead appropriated through taxation and allocated to the project. When a private business spends money on a project, it expects a return on its investment. As such, it aims to provide a product it expects people to want or need.

However, a government agency advancing a public project doesn’t need to do this. The government can force people to pay for whatever undertaking it chooses, regardless of whether there is a real need, or whether the project is a wise solution for that need. The result of this, as Hazlitt notes, is that projects are created for their own sake, for the activity and job creation that follows, not to solve an actual need. Such a project does not deliver good value for money, as the motivation is not to produce the best product for the cheapest price, but to create a large project involving as much activity as possible.

The comparison between CHSR and Brightline is an excellent example of Hazlitt’s observation. Both projects will, if completed, provide a useful service that will benefit many people, but CHSR will do so using an astronomical amount of money that could have been put to myriad other uses. It will succeed in its goal of creating a project to generate activity, regardless of whether it ever delivers a viable or even operational railway. A private company considering providing a new transport option must assess demand for that new service, determine the likely revenue, and therefore how much it can afford to spend creating it. Brightline did this, planning its project with a budget proportional to demand and raising that money from investors who expect a return.

Conversely, CHSR’s budget is completely divorced from the revenues it will produce, and there is no expectation for it ever to make a profit. As such, the project is massively over-engineered, with numerous large viaducts that pass over empty desert, and several grand landmark bridges and structures designed more to look impressive than to satisfy a need. This, combined with CHSR’s promotional materials, show that the project is designed to “create” jobs and give California an impressive megaproject. In a recent press release, CHSR proudly celebrated having created 6,000 jobs for local workers—but it’s not even close to finishing the much-reduced central section of the high speed railway it’s building. Not only does Brightline have a system moving passengers and producing revenue, but it’s also provided Miami with a shining new retail and residential development above its station in the heart of downtown. This is because private railroads rely on more than just passenger revenues to pay the bills—they also get revenue from developing the property they own. This is commonplace in Japan, where private railways build and operate shopping malls around their city center stations, with the mall and the railway both driving up each other’s revenues.

We should let businesses identify demand and satisfy it accordingly. The resulting projects will do a better job of serving actual needs, will be more numerable, and will encourage more economic growth to fund further projects in the future. Private projects may not create as many jobs in the short term as public ones, but they create a far more prosperous economy in the long run. Brightline is now planning another railway to span the 270 miles between Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Let’s see how quickly it will deliver a completed project compared to CHSR, with the latter’s fourteen-year head start.

CHSR exemplifies what happens when the government manages a major project—delays, budget overruns, and needless expenditure. Brightline shows what is possible when a private business is in control. Sadly, America’s original railroads were driven out of business by government-funded roads and airports (many of which are now in dire need of repair). Let’s hope Brightline is the first of a new generation of private rail projects that will reintroduce some entrepreneurial spirit into the transportation industry in the United States.

Distorting Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Bill

If some parent wants their children exposed to Drag Queen Story Hour or the like, it’s a free country. But why should those who don’t agree with that view have their children exposed to something they believe is wrong? They should not. And this bill favors parental rights over the “progressive” bullies.

The bill’s opening words are: “Parental Rights in Education.” It goes on to say that it aims to “reinforce fundamental right of parents to make decisions regarding upbringing & control of their children.”

The law “prohibits classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in certain grade levels.” What are those levels? Kindergarten through third grade. In other words, children generally nine years old and younger.

In fact, Gov. Ron DeSantis proclaimed, “The media can’t defend injecting sexual topics like transgenderism into classrooms for kindergarteners, so they concoct false narratives to try to divert attention from this fact in the hopes that people will not read the bill.”

The biggest of those false narratives is the left’s characterization—and the media’s parroting—of it as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. Most who receive their news from the mainstream media have no idea that the bill (which does not mention the word “gay” or “homosexuality” anywhere in it) merely keeps sexualized topics out of the classrooms of kindergartners through third graders—where few sane people believe those topics belong in the first place.

Controversy surrounding this bill raises many questions. The most important of them is: Who is responsible for the children’s well-being, the parents or the state?

The Bible says that the parents are, and that God has made us male and female.

Biology says we are male and female. One or the other. For example, the National Institute for Health notes,

“The biological differences between the sexes have long been recognized at the biochemical and cellular levels. Rapid advances in molecular biology have revealed the genetic and molecular bases of a number of sex-based differences in health and human disease.”

In August 2020, I interviewed Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, who noted that one silver lining from the pandemic was that parents got to see, many for the first time, what their children were actually being taught in their children’s schools.

He told me,

“When you take a look at the sex ed curriculum, there is an effort to indoctrinate children, not only in sexual activity, but within the whole LGBTQ agenda in terms of creating sexual confusion among our children.”

I once interviewed Walt Heyer, a former transsexual. He had sex-reassignment surgery in 1983 because he believed he was a woman trapped in a man’s body. For the first eight years as a “woman,” he felt relieved. But then his depression came back and was even worse. When Jesus healed him, he embraced his original identity.

Heyer now runs the organization Sex Change Regret. He notes that over 40% of those who have had “gender reassignment surgery” have attempted suicide.

He added that gender dysphoria is a form of depression. And while puberty blockers and sex reassignment surgeries may provide temporary relief, they don’t address the root issue:

“When you don’t like who you are at the core of who you are, you’re depressed about who you are.”

Why should parents, who are responsible for their children’s education and well-being, have to pick up the pieces as our society recklessly destroys these little children and their futures?

If it becomes law, I believe Florida’s legislation will prove to be a step in the right direction for a culture mired in moral relativism.

Energy Expert and Congressional Candidate, Niki Conforti, on Biden’s Energy Policies

WHEATON, Ill. /PRNewswire/ — As a candidate for Illinois’ 6th Congressional District and an Energy Consultant, I feel compelled to speak out on the current state of energy in America, because America’s energy policy is a matter of National Security.

Being energy dependent as a country, as we are today, is not only costly to the American people, it weakens America’s position on the world stage.

By subverting our own energy suppliers, the Biden administration and their policies have put us at the mercy of foreign oil. It shifts the power structure away from America to countries like IranVenezuelaChina – and RussiaRussia’s invasion of Ukraine is just one adverse effect of this transfer of power.

Regaining energy independence will again tip the scales of the world power in America’s favor. America is the largest force of good in the world. A strong America will keep tyrant countries in check and benefit the whole world.

At home, being energy independent will lower the price of gas to fill our tanks and heat our homes. Lowering prices will temper inflation – which is at a 40 year high today.

As an off set to this, the current Administration is pushing renewable energy and electric vehicles. According to one executive order signed by Biden, the US is to achieve 100% carbon free electricity by 2030 and 100% electric vehicles by 2035.

This is not feasible. Renewable energy is not the sole solution for American energy as advocated by this administration.

One reason is the battery storage that is needed requires lithium, which is mostly produced in China. Beyond that, we would need to utilize much of today’s farmland and natural preserves for wind and solar fields to meet the demand for energy. Not to mention the problem with disposing of them and the costs involved.

Pushing renewables as the panacea to our energy needs will keep us dependent on foreign countries, like China, and lead to more problems down the road.

Democrats want Biden to Declare National ‘Climate Emergency’ and Ban Oil Drilling on Federal Lands

There is one common thread running through every Democrat policy – it’s hurt Americans, destroy America.

And as one commenter points out, “What oil subsidies are there? Sorry there aren’t billions or trillions of subsidies going to fossil fuel producers. The last time I looked the only subsidies I found were for research into green energy and to burn the fossil fuels cleaners. What people are calling subsidies, are normal businesses expenses. Deducting employee wages and production costs are not subsidies.”

House Dems want Biden to declare national ‘climate emergency’ and ban oil drilling on federal lands

Democrats will also call on Biden to end fossil fuel subsidies

By Andrew Mark Miller | Fox News March 16, 2022:

Progressive Democrats in the House of Representatives are reportedly planning to publicly urge President Biden to ban oil drilling on federal lands amid record gas prices and a war in Ukraine that has disrupted oil markets.

According to a report from Politico,  the Congressional Progressive Caucus is planning to demand that Biden use his executive power to declare climate change an emergency and ban drilling on federal lands.

“Progressive Caucus member @JaredHuffman told me calling on Biden to declare a climate emergency is one of the ‘centerpiece’ actions to headline their EO plan,” Politico reporter Joshua Siegel tweeted Tuesday. “A draft of the plan I saw also calls for Biden to ban oil/gas drilling on public lands and end fossil fuel subsidies.”

Siegel added that House Democrats will also call on Biden to manufacture more heat pumps to “ease the strain in oil and gas markets that has been caused by Russia’s war in Ukraine.” Some of those heat pumps would be donated to Europe, according to the House Progressives’ plan.

The reported move drew immediate criticism on social media with many pointing out that gas prices have surged to record levels prompting Republicans to call for increased drilling to ease pain at the pump, not less.

“Dems want $10 gas,” Republican Sen. Ted Cruz tweeted.

“The Democrats need to wake up,” Republican Sen. Steve Daines tweeted. “We must unleash American energy.”

“And Democrats wonder why people blame them for high gas prices,” a Twitter account associated with the National Republican Congressional Committee tweeted.

Americans are experiencing the highest gas prices since the 2008 financial crisis, with the national gas price average reaching more than $4 per gallon.  (Getty Images)

“We need to focus on building critical infrastructure and increasing domestic production, not jeopardizing North American energy security,” President and CEO of the National Association of Manufacturers Jay Timmons tweeted. “Manufacturers oppose this attempt to potentially further disrupt domestic energy production and drive up prices.”

The use of a “climate emergency” also raises constitutional concerns, as the nation eases out of emergency COVID restrictions imposed two years ago by governors and local authorities, which shut down businesses and destroyed millions of jobs nationwide.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News.

The Biden administration has faced intense criticism in recent weeks for refusing to commit to increasing oil production in the United States as gas prices have surged roughly $1.50 per gallon since he took off in a crisis that has been exacerbated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Romney Votes Against Lifting Mask Mandates For Preschool-Age Kids

Child abusing scumbag. What a traitor this snake turned out to be.

What A Disgrace’: Mitt Romney Votes Against Lifting Mask Mandates For Preschool-Age Kids

By: Daily Wire, March 16, 2022:

In the latest of several steps he has taken to set himself apart from the majority of the Republican Party, Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) voted against lifting a mask mandate for children as young as two who take part in the nation’s Head Start program.

The Biden administration requires “universal masking for all individuals two years of age and older” participating in the government-run preschool program. It also requires all employees, contractors, and volunteers who come into contact with children receive the COVID-19 vaccine. An amendment offered by Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) to the PREVENT Pandemics Act would “prevent HHS from implementing or enforcing their regulations regarding mask or vaccination protections in the Head Start program again.”

Video footage of the vote shows Romney became the only Republican member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee to vote against the measure — including Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Susan Collins (R-ME), who frequently deviate from the Republican mainstream. The former Republican standard bearer joined all HELP committee Democrats in striking down Braun’s amendment by a 12-10 vote.

“What a disgrace,” Donald Trump Jr. tweeted.

“Shame on @MittRomney and every senator in this room who just voted to keep toddlers in masks,” wrote Kelsey Bolar of the Independent Women’s Forum. “I am happy to bring my 2-year-old to meet with any one of you to show you how insane it is to ask parents to cover their 2-year-olds faces with a worthless piece of cloth.”

Romney’s vote helped cement the United States’ status as a global outlier on mask policy. The World Health Organization has stated: “Children aged 5 years and under do not need to wear a mask.” (Emphasis in original.) The European Centre for Disease Control states mask-wearing is “not recommended for students” in primary school, exempting all children under the age of 12.

Numerous studies have revealed the dearth of science behind mask mandates for children, especially toddlers. Even if masking were the best option, it would be impossible to find a respirator that fits children that young. Public health experts have admitted that “cloth masks are not appropriate for this pandemic,” and while researchers believe that N95 respirators offer the greatest protection against the transmission of COVID-19, the FDA notes that “N95 respirators are not designed for children … a proper fit cannot be achieved on children.”

Democratic governors began rolling back local mask mandates earlier this year, stating that “the science has changed.” Still, 37% of all U.S. public school districts still require compulsory masking of all students.

“It’s time to get our lives back especially based upon science and not the political science,” said Braun on Tuesday.

Romney’s lone vote became his latest deviation into Democratic ranks. On Tuesday, Romney also voted against a measure introduced by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) to abolish mask mandates on public transportation. “The resolution garnered bipartisan support, resulting in a 57-40 vote with eight Democrats voting in favor of the resolution,” The Daily Wire reported. “Republican Utah Sen. Mitt Romney was the only Republican to vote against the resolution.”

Since his election to the U.S. Senate from his newly adopted home state of Utah, Mitt Romney has continually acted as a gadfly. He has marched with Black Lives Matter, voted twice to impeach former President Donald Trump, and called his fellow Republicans “morons.”

VIDEO: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addresses U.S. Congress and the American People

The Ukrainian president addressed members of congress seeking their aid and assistance in fighting against the Russian and Putin’s illegal invasion of his country.

Biden and his administration are unwilling to end a war that they, through their collectivist policies, started.

Biden has not only refused to give weapons to Ukraine he has hampered efforts from nations like Poland to provide MIG fighters. This is yet another Biden green light to Putin to do whatever he wants to do, without U.S. interference or even objection.

Biden is the Surrenderer-In-Chief.

Biden has surrendered to Putin, he is surrendering to the mullahs in Iran and he is appeasing the Communist Chinese.

This is a truly a sad day for America and the world.

Please watch as President Volodymyr Zelensky addresses U.S. Congress and the American People:

President Zelenskyy invokes the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. saying, ‘I Have a Dream’ U.S. will offer us arms:

Zelensky says to Biden and the American people, “To be the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace”:

In closing Zelensky warns Americans to remember that day in infamy Pearl Harbor, remember 9/11, as his country is “experiencing the same every day”:

TRANSCRIPT:

Glory to heroes.

Thank you very much, Madam Speaker, members of the Congress, ladies and gentlemen, Americans, friends. I’m proud to greet you from Ukraine, from our capital city of Kyiv, a city that is under missile and airstrikes from Russian troops every day, but it doesn’t give up. And we have not even thought about it for a second, just like many other cities and communities in our beautiful country, which found themselves in the worst war since World War II.

I have the honor to greet you on behalf of the Ukrainian people, brave and freedom-loving people who for eight years have been resisting the Russian aggression, those who give their best sons and daughters to stop this full-scale Russian invasion.

Right now, the destiny of our country is being decided, the destiny of our people, whether Ukrainians will be free, whether they will be able to preserve their democracy. Russia has attacked not just us, not just our land, not just our cities; it went on a brutal offensive against our values, basic human values. It threw tanks and planes against our freedom, against our right to live freely in our own country, choosing our own future against our desire for happiness, against our national dreams, just like the same dreams you have, you Americans, just like anyone else in the United States.

I remember your national memorial in Rushmore, the faces of your prominent presidents, those who laid the foundation of the United States of America as it is today: democracy, independence, freedom and care for everyone, for every person, for everyone who works diligently, who lives honestly, who respects the law. We in Ukraine want the same for our people: all that is a normal part of your own life. Ladies and gentlemen, friends, Americans, in your great history you have pages that would allow you to understand Ukrainians. Understand us now, when you need it right now — when we need you right now.

Remember Pearl Harbor — terrible morning of December 7, 1941, when your sky was black from the planes attacking you. Just remember it. Remember September the 11th, a terrible day in 2001, when evil tried to turn your cities, independent territories in battlefields, when innocent people were attacked, attacked from air. Yes, just like nobody else expected it. You could not stop it. Our country experienced the same every day, right now, at this moment, every night for three weeks now.

Various Ukrainian cities, Odessa and Kovel, Chernihiv and Sumy, (inaudible), Mariupol and Dnipro — Russia has turned the Ukrainian sky into a source of death for thousands of people. Russian troops have already fired nearly 1,000 missiles at Ukraine, countless bombs. They use drones to kill us with precision. This is a terror that Europe has not seen for 80 years, and we are asking for a reply, for an answer to this terror from the whole world. Is this a lot to ask for, to create a no-fly zone — zone over Ukraine to save people? Is this too much to ask — humanitarian no-fly zone, something that Ukraine — that Russia would not be able to terrorize our free cities? If this is too much to ask, we offer an alternative.

You know what kind of defense systems we need, S-300 and other similar systems. You know how much depends on the battlefield on the ability to use aircraft, powerful, strong air — aviation to protect our people, our freedom, our land, aircraft that can help Ukraine, help Europe. And you know that they exist, and you have them, but they are on earth, not in Ukraine — in the Ukrainian sky. They do not defend our people.

“I have a dream.” These words are known to each of you today. I can say, “I have a need: I need to protect our sky.” I need your decision, your help, which means exactly the same, the same you feel when you hear the words “I have a dream.” Ladies and gentlemen, friends, Ukraine is grateful to the United States for its overwhelming support, for everything that U.S. government and your people have done for us, for weapons and ammunition, for training, for finances, for leadership in the free world, which helps us to pressure the aggressor economically. I am grateful to President Biden for his personal involvement, for his sincere commitment to the defense of Ukraine and democracy all over the world. I am grateful to you for the resolution which recognizes all those who commit crimes against Ukraine, against the Ukrainian people as war criminals. However, now it is true in the darkest time for our country, for the whole Europe, I call on you to do more.

New packages of sanctions are needed constantly, every week until the Russian military machine stops. Restrictions are needed for everyone on whom this unjust regime is based. We propose that the United States sanctions all politicians in the Russian Federation who remain in their offices and do not cut ties with those who are responsible for the aggression against Ukraine, from state Dumas members to the last official who has lack of moral to break this state terror. All American companies must leave Russia from their market — leave their market immediately, because it is flooded with our blood. Ladies and gentlemen, members of Congress, please take the lead. If you have companies in your districts who finance the Russian military machine leaving business in Russia, you should put pressure. I’m asking to make sure that the Russians do not receive a single penny that they use to destroy people in Ukraine, the destruction of our country, the destruction of Europe. All American ports should be closed for Russian goods. Peace is more important than income, and we have to defend this principle in the whole world.

We already became part of the antiwar coalition, big antiwar coalition that unites many countries, dozens of countries, those who reacted to — in principle to President Putin’s decision to invade our country, but we need to move on and do more. We need to create new tools to respond quickly and stop the war — the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, which began on February 24th, and it would be fair if it ended in a day, in 24 hours, that evil would be punished immediately. Today, the world does not have such tools. The wars of the past have prompted our predecessors to create institutions that should protect us from war, but they, unfortunately, don’t work. We see it. You see it. So we need new ones, new institutions, new alliances, and we offer them.

We propose to create an association, U-24, United For Peace, a union of responsible countries that have the strength and consciousness to stop conflict immediately, provide all the necessary assistance in 24 hours, if necessary, even weapons, if necessary, sanctions, humanitarian support, political support, finances — everything you need to keep the peace and quickly save the world, to save lives. In addition, such association, such union could provide assistance to those who are — experiencing natural disasters, man-made disasters, who fell victims to humanitarian crisis or epidemic. Remember how difficult it was for the world to do the simplest thing, just to give vaccines, vaccines against covid to save lives, to prevent new strains. The world spent months, years doing things like that much faster to make sure there are no human losses, no victims. Ladies and gentlemen, Americans, if such alliance would exist today, that is, U-24, we would be able to save thousands of lives in our country, in many countries of the world, those who need peace, those who suffer inhumane destruction.

I ask you to watch one video, video of what the Russian troops did in our country, in our land. We have to stop it. We must prevent it, preventively destroy every single aggressor who seeks to subjugate other nations. Please watch the video.

And in the end, to sum it up, today it is not enough to be the leader of the (inaudible). Today, it takes, to be the leader of the world — being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace. Peace in your country doesn’t depend anymore only on you and your people; it depends on those next to you, on those who are strong. Strong doesn’t mean big. Strong is brave and ready to fight for the life of his citizens and citizens of the world, human rights for freedom, for the right to live decently and to die when your time comes, and not when it’s wanted by someone else, by your neighbor.

Today, the Ukrainian people are defending not only Ukraine; we are fighting for the values of Europe and the world, sacrificing our lives in the name of the future. That’s why today, the American people are helping not just Ukraine, but Europe and the world to keep the planet alive, to keep justice in history.

Now, I’m almost 45 years old. Today my age stopped when the heart of more than 100 children stopped beating. I see no sense in life if it cannot stop the deaths. And this is my main mission as the leader of my people, brave Ukrainians, and as the leader of my nation, I’m addressing the President Biden. You are the leader of the nation, of your great nation. I wish you to be the leader of the world. Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.

Thank you. Slava Ukrayini.

Governor DeSantis Warns Democrats Will Reimpose COVID Restrictions Following Midterm Elections

UPDATE: March 17, 2022 – Fauci Reappears to Tell Us COVID Restrictions May Return


On Tuesday, November 8, 2022 at the stroke of midnight…..

Restrictions Following Midterm Elections

By: Dillon Burroughs, Daily Wire, March 14, 2022:

Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis argued on Friday that many leftists will reimpose COVID-19 restrictions after the November midterm election “if they feel they need them.”

DeSantis shared the comments during an Expand American Energy forum on Friday in Doral, Florida.

“The minute those elections are over, they will impose mandates if they feel the need to do that. They will impose restrictions,” DeSantis said.

“And so that will happen. If those types of people are allowed to be put in power, my view on that is, they’ve put Fauci in the witness protection program because he will say, you know, no, you should still wear a mask, and he’s never going to say be normal, go back to normal. So they know that, and they know that that’s not what people want,” DeSantis added.

DeSantis predicted the return of restrictions in the winter of 2022 by blue states.

“There’s nothing wrong if on an individual basis you make a certain calculation. That’s fine. We encourage you to do that. But it’s wrong to mandate people and restrict people, and that will happen. I guarantee you, winter of 2022, any of those folks that are there, you are going to see that happen,” he continued.

“The only way to make sure it doesn’t happen is to have nice, big, red wave. So, we’ll see,” he added.

The strong words follow comments by DeSantis on Wednesday that declared an end to the pandemic theater for this state, saying, “There is no place in Florida for COVID theater.”

DeSantis shared the words alongside a video clip from a panel he spoke at on Monday with Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo and other medical experts to close the curtain on coronavirus restrictions.

“Over the past two years, the data has shown us what works and what doesn’t work. It is long past time to stop the COVID Theater,” DeSantis said.

“In Florida, we told the truth, we let the data drive our response, and we let Floridians make decisions for themselves and their children. As a result, Florida is in a better spot than states who used fear mongering and mandates,” he added.

Earlier in the month, DeSantis made headlines for a video released that said Florida’s surgeon general has put out new guidance for Florida workers to provide freedom from mask requirements.

“Simply relying on outdated CDC guidance when the experience has completely undercut that is not really a reasonable thing to do at this point,” DeSantis said in a Tuesday video on Twitter.

“A 9 to 5 job should not be a N-95 job,” the governor added.

The Daily Wire previously reported:

DeSantis spoke specifically on behalf of workers in the service and hospitality industries.

“Every time I go to these places, I’ll be in these big events and you have all these people having such a good time and the poor servers are forced to mask and I will ask them, ‘Are you allowed to take the mask off?’ They say not yet,” he shared.

“They’re all waiting for it. They all want to be liberated. They want to be treated normally,” DeSantis added.

The Collapsing American Family — From Bonding to Bondage

“The enemies of freedom are enemies of the family.” Linda Goudsmit, The Collapsing American Family: From Bonding to Bondage


We received a copy of a new book by Linda Goudsmit titled “The Collapsing American Family: From Bonding to Bondage.” If we said this book is timely it would be a gross understatement.

Linda’s book accurately chronicles the evil, repeated and constant attacks on the traditional American family consisting of a mother, father and their biological children. This comes at a time when Walt Disney is releasing its latest family film ironically titled “Turning Red.”

The Daily Wires’ Amanda Harding wrote this about “Turning Red“:

“Turning Red” is the newest movie from Disney/Pixar that has some parents turning red … with anger. They say the children in the movie are overtly disobedient and rude, plus there are sexual themes including the main character twerking as a panda in front of her mother while taunting her, plus multiple instances of the girl rebelling against her “overbearing” Chinese-Canadian mother to the point of being disrespectful.

[ … ]

According to one reviewer on Common Sense Media, “The movie contains repeated storylines and scenes of the kids lying to their parents and sneaking out of the house. All of this is portrayed as cool and ok because the main character’s mom is portrayed as overbearing, way too protective, and ‘psycho.’ … the 13 year old main character talks about how honoring your parents is great, but that sometimes honoring them ‘too much’ means you aren’t honoring yourself.” [Emphasis added]

There has been concern voiced that the media, social media and now Disney is attacking not only traditional families but also America is seeing a rise of hate-crimes against Asians and their families.

Linda is the devoted wife of Rob and they are the parents of four children and the grandparents of four.

Linda’s book exposes the sinister attack on the nuclear family as the primary strategy in globalism’s asymmetric warfare on America.

Linda explains how the American family must be destroyed in order to collapse our Constitutional Republic from within and impose the Great Reset of technocracy and transhumanism.

The “New Normal” replaces family bonding with feudal bondage in the global Managerial State where you will own nothing and be happy. Globalism’s war on America is psychological warfare, an information war fought without bullets. Linda’s closing line warns the nation:

“Space is no longer the final frontier – reality is.”

Overview

Kahlil Gibran, the gifted Lebanese-American poet, philosopher, and artist, writes about family in his 1923 masterpiece, The Prophet. In the book, the prophet describes the role of parents:

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.

The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.

Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness:

For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.

Gibran’s poetry captures the American Judeo-Christian ideal of family love, growth, independence, and continuity. His exquisite image of the archer and bow is an iconic depiction of idealized parenthood—the preparation and exemplary launching of children into adulthood. The stillness of the archer’s pose contrasts with the perpetual motion of the children being launched into the future, becoming parents who will prepare their own children for adulthood in the magnificent, ongoing cycle of life.

Family is the most fundamental, universal, and powerful social structure in human society. America was founded on the infrastructure of the nuclear family—a man and a woman and their children. Parents providing for, protecting, and preparing their children for a future in a free society. The nuclear family is the source of family love, family loyalty, and family appreciation for the unparalleled individual freedoms guaranteed by our U.S. Constitution.

The nuclear family is the foundation of American freedom, American ideals, and American morality rooted in the Judeo-Christian tenets of the Ten Commandments. Family is the supporting structure that provides stability and continuity for the American Constitution, American sovereignty, and the American dream.

My purpose for writing this book is to expose the multidimensional, coordinated attacks on the American family as strategic, operational, tactical, asymmetric warfare.

The enemies of America have targeted the American family, intentionally inverting the natural growth process and interrupting the cycle of life. The war on America is a war on children. Centuries of American parents preparing their children for independence and launch into responsible adulthood are being disparaged, discredited, and replaced by a socialist movement determined to keep the children eternally dependent. Socialism is unapologetic in its goal to destroy the American family as a competing ideology.

The war on America is an ideological war—a battle between Americanism and socialism, between individualism and collectivism, between freedom and slavery. The war on America is a multipronged information war that must destroy the American family in order to succeed.

The immediate political goal is to overthrow our constitutional republic and replace it with socialism, which is presented as the superior replacement ideology. This book exposes the humanitarian hoax of socialism, its fraudulent narrative of social justice and economic equality, and its purpose in the war on America. Socialism is the deceitful stepping-stone to a New World Order.

Socialism is the beginning of the war on America. This book connects the sequential dots that begin with socialism and end with transhumanism in a dehumanized planetary managerial state, where you will own nothing and be happy. Private property, the hallmark of freedom in a constitutional republic, is being threatened with extinction. Ownership and upward mobility will be replaced with totalitarian control of the population and all its resources by world government managers empowered to distribute all goods and services. The process of reordering the world economy and its resources is called the Great Reset.

Sequentially, the collapse of the American family is required to transform America into socialism. Socialism is required to centralize government power and surrender American sovereignty to globalist one-world government. One-world government is required to enslave the global population in the New World Order of a planetary managerial surveillance state.

Socialism establishes a collectivist nation of dependent citizens who, like children, are easily controlled—for our own good, of course. The socialist authoritarian state denies the archer, discredits the bow, and deliberately prevents the arrows from being sent forth. The socialist state replaces parental authority with state authority, and replaces family loyalty with state loyalty.

The collapse of the American family awards total centralized social control to the authoritarian state. The end of the American nuclear family is the end of the greatest experiment in individual freedom the world has ever known. A nation of children cannot sustain itself. To survive, it requires a central government that usurps the traditional roles of parents.

The ideological war between socialism and Americanism being fought today on U.S. soil is part of the greater globalist effort to regress the world back to feudalism and establish a New World Order of planetary governance. Today’s Marxist-Leninist soldiers are the legions of radical leftist Democrats, socialists, communists, and anarchists who graduated college in the 1960s, cut their hair, put on suits, and entered the American workforce with the goal of destabilizing and collapsing our country from within.

This socialist army successfully infiltrated every sphere of American life, and it particularly targeted education. Educational indoctrination is asymmetric warfare. The children and grandchildren of America’s 1960s activist generation are being indoctrinated to become citizens of the “equitable” globalized world deceitfully promised by United Nations Agenda 2030.

Students of history know that socialism’s familiar promises of social justice and economic equality are not the reality of socialism. “Free stuff” is never free—the price of socialism is your freedom! Yet Americans are being propagandized to believe the never-ending Marxist socialist lies.

Americans carefully teach their children not to accept candy from strangers. This book shows how socialism is the political candy that is seducing unsuspecting Americans into surrendering their precious freedom and that of their children. Familiarity breeds acceptance, and socialism is no longer a stranger in America.

The managerial elite driving the Great Reset support an end justifies the means approach to achieve its goals. The methodology includes psychological conditioning and sociological pressures to conform to a new normal in the New World Order.

Propagandized education and the mainstream media are essential components for coordinating disinformation, censoring dissenting opinions, and non-stop echoing of the managerial elite message. The vehicle for transitioning the U.S. to the managerial state is COVID-19. The narrative of political medicine provided by the global predators is part of the asymmetric warfare and fear campaign designed to regress the public to childish compliance.

The globalists running the war on America have successfully infiltrated American institutions and corrupted them. Political institutions no longer protect American sovereignty. Judicial institutions no longer provide American justice. Educational institutions no longer provide American education. Military institutions no longer protect America’s borders. Medical institutions no longer protect American public health.

This is classic asymmetric warfare––revolution without bullets. The shots fired in this war on America are coming from a needle. The coronavirus debacle has shattered family bonds and further bifurcated the country between “vaccinated” and “unvaccinated.”

The fear and divisiveness within families reflects the fear and divisiveness in the nation. Divisiveness has left American families and America in disarray, vulnerable to the insatiable globalist elite appetite for planetary domination.

Without public awareness and political intervention by states’ rights activists, history will trace American freedom from its birth in 1776, through its extraordinary growth nurtured and supported by American family bonding, to its collapse into socialism and 21st-century global bondage.

The Collapsing American Family: From Bonding to Bondage is a must read because itis dedicated to American sovereignty, and to those who continue to fight the good fight to preserve our precious American freedom and families.

Hunter Biden and Bio-Labs!

A firm called Rosemont Seneca invested in the firm that’s tied to bio-labs in Ukraine.

Why is this important?

Rosemont Seneca is Crackhead and whoremonger Hunter Bidens firm! (Plus don’t forget the Big Guy gets his share of the dividends!)

By the way worthless traitor John Kerry and his step son have involvement too! Hmmm!

From a Chinese government spokesman comes the following. ( I understand it’s from China. I understand about Wuhan. I understand propaganda. )

The US has 336 labs in 30 countries under its control, including 26 in Ukraine alone. It should give a full account of its biological military activities at home and abroad and subject itself to multilateral verification.

I think it is accurate and I think the Biden administration is in up to its neck in bio weapons and warfare. I believe Fauci and the CDC are both in this with evil intent.

If you check out my previous blogs on Ukraine and bio labs you can tie all of it together.

Money. Control. Power!

All this despite Biden denying any and all involvement in any bio labs, calling it Russian propaganda and “a bunch of malarkey.” As more and more evidence comes out his lies will become obvious. However the MSM will keep putting out his misinformation. This from a pentagon spokesman John Kirby on Wednesday:- “The Russian accusations are absurd, they are laughable, and, you know, in the words of my Irish Catholic grandfather, a bunch of malarkey. There’s nothing to it. It’s classic Russian propaganda. We are not developing biological or chemical weapons inside Ukraine. It’s not happening.”

Biden and co will blame the Russians and Putin just as he is blaming them for our gas prices and our inflation. I guess it gives President Trump a break as he would normally be the fall-guy!

Hunter Biden Firm Rosemont Seneca Invested in Firm Tied to Ukrainian Biolabs

Rosemont Seneca Technology Partners (RSTP) was one of the main financial backers for a company called Metabiota, which partnered with the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Potty-mouthed Hunter Biden was one of RSTP’s co-founders and managing directors. He co-founded it with John Kerry’s stepson Christopher Heinz. Hunter’s company gathered $30 million for Metabiota in 2015. Both of their influential daddies have been linked to shady deals involving RSTP.

SHOCKER: Hunter Biden’s Firm Funded Company That Partnered With Wuhan Lab on Bat Research

Metabiota had previously partnered with a firm called EcoHealth Alliance under an umbrella bringing several similar companies together in 2014, which eventually led to a study on bat infectious diseases in China.

According to the National Pulse, a document describing the projects that were under the umbrella states specifically that “Sensitive and broadly reactive RT-PCR assays were performed at Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.”

The National Pulse also reports that “researchers from EcoHealth Alliance and Metabiota have collaborated on presentations regarding how to “live safely with bats” and studies linking emerging infectious disease outbreaks to wildlife trade facilities including ‘wet markets.’” Section 2 of  “Ways to Live Safely with Bats: The Basics” declares:

While bats have been connected to rabies and other diseases, killing or disturbing the natural homes of bats can actually make rabies spread to more people. Because of this, it’s best not to kill, hunt, sell, cook, or eat bats.

A February 2020 statement by well-respected medical officials rejected the theory that the CCP virus originated in a  lab. Then-President Trump disagreed with that statement and he turned out to be rightVanity Fair reported uncovering “warnings” to officials not to look into the origins of the Wuhan virus.

A Chinese defector claims the virus leaked from the Wuhan lab and the bats were a cover-up.

Catholicphobia: 37 states have blatantly anti-Catholic ‘Blaine Amendments’

As a Catholic I was astounded that 37 states, including my home state of Florida, are Catholicphobic. This revelation was about how many states have codified into law Blaine Amendments.

The Blaine Amendment refers to the constitutional amendment proposed on December 14, 1875, by Rep. James G. Blaine (1830-1893) of Maine in reaction to efforts by religious groups, mainly the Catholic Church, to establish parochial schools with public funding. President Ulysses S. Grant had suggested, in his final annual address to the United States Congress in December of 1875, that an amendment be proposed “making it the duty of each of the several States to establish and forever maintain free public schools adequate to the education of all of the children” and “prohibiting the granting of any school funds, or school taxes . . . for the benefit of or in aid . . . of any religious sect or denomination.”

The Loop from CatholicVote reports:

Did you know that there are 37 states with blatantly anti-Catholic Amendments called “Blaine Amendments,” which prohibit many forms of educational funding from going to Catholic schools? There’s a new Supreme Court case which might finally rule that those discriminatory laws are unconstitutional.

Watch and learn more from Andrea Picciotti-Bayer about Blain Amendments.

Company Contrast: Vista Outdoor

Each week 2ndVote takes a look at popular companies that either score well or score poorly. We then provide alternatives that either better align with the 2ndVote values, or that should be avoided to the best of your ability. This weekly series is called The Company Contrast, and the company we will be focusing on this week is Vista Outdoor, Inc (3.49).

Vista Outdoor, Inc started as an ammunition manufacturer ATK in the early 2000’s. After many years of serving hunters, civilians, and law enforcement ATK spun off the ammunition and outdoor business into Vista Outdoor in 2014. Vista Outdoor today is a huge holdings company that owns some of recreational shooters favorite brands. CCI, Federal Ammunition, Speer, and many more brands are owned by Vista. Starting in 2016 Vista started acquiring all manner of sports and outdoor equipment manufacturers. These brands produce everything from camp stoves to GPS systems. Vista has an unsurprisingly good score for their support of the second amendment, but also practices sensible environmental stewardship. They also partner with the salvation army which is Christian and pro-life organization. Hop on over to https://vistaoutdoor.com/brands/ and see if their brands have what you need for your next trip into the great outdoors.

REI (2.01) is both a used outdoors equipment market and an online shop for gear. REI started as an outdoor enthusiasts co-op in 1938. The company has shifted more focus on family camping and outdoor wear in the years since the founders were just trading climbing equipment. REI has received a low score in Life, 2nd Amendment, and Environment due to support for policies like cap-and-trade. REI also ended a business relationship with a supplier due to that company’s ties with the NRA. Since this company leans to the liberal side on several important conservative issues, it might be a good idea to look at different marketplaces for used gear. There is also a huge variety of conservative companies that make new equipment for adventures in the outdoors. New or used, there’s plenty of higher scoring brands that deserve your hard earned money.
