FBI Director Kash Patel dropped a bombshell Monday evening, handing Congress an intelligence report that raises serious questions about China’s role in the 2020 election. According to the report, Chinese operatives mass-produced counterfeit U.S. driver’s licenses as part of a broader scheme to flood the system with fake mail-in ballots—benefiting… you guessed it… Joe Biden.
This wasn’t just foreign meddling—it was industrial-scale fraud, enabled by a broken mail-in voting system the Democrats have long been exploiting. The report confirms what many of us suspected all along: the integrity of the 2020 election wasn’t just compromised—it was hijacked.
According to officials who spoke to Just the News, the reports—flagging potential foreign interference in the lead-up to the 2020 election—were neither corroborated nor seriously investigated. In fact, they were quietly pulled back from intelligence agencies right around the time then-FBI Director Chris Wray told Congress there were “no known plots” of foreign meddling.
Convenient timing, isn’t it? While Trump was being accused of endangering democracy, the intelligence community was sitting on evidence that might have blown the lid off the election narrative—and they buried it.
The documents were handed over to Sen. Chuck Grassley, who had warned the FBI that the intel was being ignored—not investigated—even though there was clear evidence of fake licenses tied to foreign election interference.
"Thanks to the oversight work and partnership of Chairman Grassley, the FBI continues to provide unprecedented transparency at the people's Bureau,” Patel told Just the News. “To that end, we have located documents Chairman Grassley requested, which detail alarming allegations related to the 2020 U.S. election. Specifically, these include allegations of plans from the CCP to manufacture fake driver's licenses and ship them into the United States for the purpose of facilitating fraudulent mail-in ballots – allegations which, while substantiated, were abruptly recalled and never disclosed to the public.”
Patel has declassified the material and turned them over to Chairman Grassley.

Over the past twenty-five years, both sides of the political spectrum have accused the other of being captive to fascism or its offshoot Nazism. With the Democrat party’s unabashed promotion of riots and violence in America’s cities, ostensibly on behalf of criminal illegal immigrants, and rampant antisemitism, it can no longer be denied that the party is captive to the tenets of fascism and its progenitor, Marxism, and utilizes the tactics the Nazi’s employed to seize and retain power in perpetuity.
While there are a number of inescapable and disturbing ways in the which the Democrat party emulates the Nazis, there are two intertwined similarities that puts to rest any question that the Democrat Party is little different than the Nazis.
The first is the use of indoctrinated militant cadres to foment street riots, property damage, extortion, and gratuitous violence supposedly on behalf of those they define as “oppressed” while blaming others as the instigators of the violence. The second is a psychopathic obsession and exploitation of race and its inevitable manifestation of rampant and unabashed antisemitism.
Both tactics work in tandem to achieve a pre-ordained objective—economic, societal, and cultural upheaval that leads to permanent one-party rule.
In the 1920s and early 1930s, the Nazi’s, seeking any excuse to riot, eventually settled on a specious claim that they were bringing attention to the dire economic plight of the average German. Behind the façade of concern for the average German, they utilized their militant cadre, the Sturmabteilung (SA), to instigate riots, damage property, and brutalize any opposition as a means of projecting power through intimidation while blaming the government or political opponents for the violence they incited.
The Nazis did not care about the suffering of the citizenry. Instead, their distress was used to justify the violence employed to spread fear and anxiety among the public at large. This single-minded determination to terrorize the citizenry and national political leadership played a key role in their ascendance to power.
Almost immediately upon assuming the reins of government, Hitler and the Nazis seized power by passing laws permanently embedding voting fraud and manipulation in all national elections and transformed the judicial system into a vehicle of oppression directed at their political foes and the Jews while their allies were not prosecuted for any criminal activity.
The Democrat party, using the façade of caring about the black population by combating fictitious “systemic racism” after the death of lifelong criminal George Floyd, followed in the footsteps of their ideological soulmates and promoted street riots, property damage, and gratuitous violence. They utilized their indoctrinated militant cadres, such as Antifa and Black Lives Matter, to project power through intimidation while blaming white supremacy, police brutality, Donald Trump, and Republicans for the violence.
Combined with massive voter fraud and manipulation, these tactics played a significant role in the election of a senescent and manipulable Joe Biden.
Almost immediately upon assuming the reins of government in 2021, the Democrat-controlled House passed a bill to permanently embed voter fraud and manipulation in all federal elections. The Democrats also transformed the Justice Department into a vehicle of oppression directed at their political foes while their allies were either not prosecuted, treated extraordinarily leniently, or pardoned.
Since the election of Donald Trump on November 5, 2024, a stunned Democrat party has been desperately searching for an issue or event its members could exploit in order to again foment street riots, looting, arson, and unconstrained violence. In their impatience, they stampeded themselves into defending the supposed civil rights of violent illegal aliens as part of their newfound love for all illegal immigrants.
The American people are supposed to believe that the Democrat party has unleashed their legions of mind-numbed foot soldiers into America’s cities in order to sow chaos and undermine the Trump Administration because of their hitherto unknown altruism and concern for the “rights” of criminal illegal immigrants
The Democrat party, mirroring its Nazi predecessors, does not care about the so-called plight of millions of illegal immigrants. These immigrants are simply the means to achieve political hegemony by transforming the electorate and a vehicle to justify the Democrats’ ongoing criminality and thuggery.
Promoting racial and ethnic animosity geared to fomenting cultural and societal upheaval was a principal component of Nazi political strategy and philosophy. The Nazi Party was the most racially obsessed political party in human history. Today’s Democrat Party is second only to the Nazi Party in its racial obsession. Every piece of legislation, every accusation against its opponents, every aspect of American society, even weather and climate, is framed in imaginary racism in order to fan the flames of racial and ethnic animosity.
The Nazi Party’s obsession focused on the Nazis perverted belief in the inferiority and superiority of the races or ethnicities. This opened the door to blaming a specific ethnic group (the Jews) for all the problems facing their country. The Democrat party has long claimed that the root cause of virtually all problems facing this nation is “systemic racism” as instigated by the apex oppressor—the so-called “white” race and in particular, the Jews.
Antisemitism is a foundational tenet of Nazism. Antisemitism, through the Democrats’ nine-decade (1870-1960) alliance with the Ku Klux Klan and the advancement of Fascist principles in the 1930s by an antisemitic Franklin Roosevelt, has long been foundational in the Democrat Party.
Today, many elected Democrats openly denigrate the state of Israel, glorify the Palestinian terrorists, and tacitly back those calling for the death of Jews throughout the world. By doing so, they have fueled an exponential increase in anti-Jewish attacks in America’s universities and major cities.
October 7, 2023, a date that will live in infamy in the annals of the state of Israel, has exposed the depth of the Democrat party’s antisemitism and de facto support for the underlying beliefs of Hamas, a terrorist organization that has, as its declared sole reason for existence, the elimination of Israel and the slaughter of all Jews.
Near Nazi-level racism and antisemitism have captured the Democrat party since the beginning of the Obama presidency, resulting in a continuous series of antisemitic or racially inspired riots, marches, and gratuitous violence, all endorsed by the party as a means of intimidation and societal upheaval.
While the current iteration of the Democrat party does not have a military uniform fetish or goose steps up Pennsylvania Avenue, its foot soldiers are little different than the Nazi Party of 1927-1934 in the tactics employed to achieve one-party political hegemony.
The actions and villainy of the Democrat party during the first ten-years of the Trump era have revealed that there are no tactics out-of-bounds, no limit to the lives to be sacrificed, no constraint on lawlessness, no acknowledgment of the rule of law, no deference to a written Constitution, and no respect for the dignity of mankind—just a raw unbridled determination to seize power in perpetuity as they follow in the footsteps of one of the most vile and destructive political movements in human history.

Trump gave the DOGE a mandate. Musk gave it firepower. Now every American who wants smaller, smarter government must join the fight.
Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk’s decision to scale back his role at the Department of Government Efficiency sparked the media frenzy we all expected.
Corporate media outlets wasted no time celebrating. They’ve declared the project dead, mocking the effort that has — by every metric — cut bureaucratic waste, exposed entrenched fraud, and disrupted the comfortable routine of Washington’s permanent class.
>>> We didn’t come this far just to hand victory back to the bureaucrats. >>>
In just 100 days, Musk brought more transparency and urgency to federal operations than most “public servants” manage in a career. Under his leadership, the DOGE slashed bloated budgets, shut down globalist slush funds like USAID, and launched investigations into waste across the Departments of Education, Social Security, and more.
DOGE isn’t just a project. It’s a movement. And it didn’t start with Elon Musk — it started when the American people sent Donald J. Trump back to the White House with a mandate to finish the job.
Voters didn’t re-elect Trump just for tough talk. They sent him to dismantle the unaccountable, tax-dollar-burning administrative state that’s grown fat off politics as usual. And the DOGE delivered.
Now, Musk reducing his hours doesn’t mean the mission is over. Far from it. The next phase requires every agency leader who believes in reform, every state and local official who sees the model working, and every grassroots patriot who wants real accountability to step up.
Ignore the media narrative. CNN, MSNBC, and the rest of the usual suspects are already spinning this as a defeat. They won’t say it out loud, but what they really hate is simple: Musk asked federal employees to justify their jobs.
He demanded answers. He forced Cabinet secretaries to make hard choices. That’s not chaos. That’s reform. And it scared the right people.
So now it’s up to us. Trump provided the mandate. Musk brought the firepower. The American people must now carry this momentum forward— to local government, to state agencies, and to every inch of federal bureaucracy still resisting change.
We didn’t come this far just to hand victory back to the bureaucrats. The real work is just beginning.

This song would never be written today. This simple anthem of feminine affirmation -- real gender affirmation, not the Orwellian gender-denying kind -- meant a lot to me as a girl. It was empowering.
It came out in 1971 and was popular throughout the early 1970s, just as I was figuring out what womanhood meant to me. Of course, it meant the usual things (“usual” to me, anyway, the way I was raised -- as a Catholic: menstruation, education, career, marriage, children, in that order). I had all kinds of dreams about what my life would look like. The entire country was dreaming then. The music was alternatively raw, “Four dead in O-hi-o,” and ethereal, “Oh, mercy, mercy me…”
Imagine being weaned on that song then being told that someday, in the not too distant future, we’d have a (woman!) Supreme Court Justice nominee unable to define what a woman is.
This is a statement of struggle, real struggle, not the struggle the Left has when someone uses the wrong pronoun. No, these were real struggles for women in the world, making our way in a man’s world, and it was a man’s world. In many ways, it still is, to the extent that we allow men to be men anymore.
Can you imagine a “feminist” anthem being written today with the word “embryo” in it? Not sure it’s possible to set “product of conception” to music, but that’s what we call a baby in-utero nowadays because abortion has become the secular equivalent of a holy sacrament to the Left, which necessitates the dehumanization of everything pregnancy related. Hell, we’re not even “mothers” anymore. We’re “inseminated people.”
It would be only a couple of years after the release of “I Am Woman” that Roe v. Wade would be decided. The Supreme Court which decided it, by the way, was all male. (A fact I point out to lefties whenever they screech that “men shouldn’t have a say over women’s bodies.” I guess we should all be glad that at least, in that moment, they know what a woman is.)
It’s important to recall that ultrasound wasn’t a thing then. The technology was in its infancy, not omni-present in every hospital like it is now. Can you imagine? Or remember? What it was like before we could look into the womb? I like to call Roe an “analog” decision, because it was made before the digital revolution made it possible to humanize the tiny little people in our wombs. I actually remember saying to my mother that I wish we could see inside a pregnant woman’s belly, to see what the baby looked like. We really had no idea then. Now we know everything: when we can see the tiny heart start beating, when eyes blink, when thumbs can be sucked etc. It’s amazing what we’ve learned during these fifty-odd years.
And what do our “brothers” need to “understand” these days? That they’ve been so dehumanized too that they are merely “inseminators”? That they’re “toxic”? It’s awful what we’ve done to gender roles, denigrating them. Let the boys be boys. Let the girls be girls. Celebrate them the way they’re made. Affirm them the way they are made! Rather than enabling mental illness, a parent’s job should be to help their children feel comfortable in the skin they’re in!
And speaking of “toxic,” what could be more “toxic” than being told an existential mistake was made when you were made? That you are doomed to a lifetime of pharmaceuticals and/or surgery? That the “you” you’ve always known has to be fixed, renovated, and that in order to effectuate this change, you will have to go “buy” a “vagina” “made” from your male genitalia (yes, this is a thing) like it’s a commodity, the way one buys a car. That you are now a cobbled together commodity of a person. What a death sentence to one’s soul that is. What a misery to be doomed to mutilation and artifice all the rest of the days of your life, especially when it’s done to a minor by a parent. We’ve all suffered at some point in our lives feeling like our parents don’t love us just the way we are but this seems the penultimate rejection.
Our girls are precious. My womanhood is precious to me. As a young woman, I could (and did!) carry and give life. And before the feminists start screeching that the ability to reproduce isn’t what defines a woman, let me cut you off this way: I understand there are women who cannot carry a child, either through infertility (the exception) or age (the natural course of things) but regardless, the inability of (menstruating) “women” to carry a child is the exception, not the rule, and we don’t organize societies around the exceptions, otherwise society would be perpetually disordered… like trans people are perpetually disordered.
I also don’t care by what neo-scientific, Frankensteinian artifice some male can be made to carry a child; it’s unnatural and wrong. It’s not, in short, normal.
And speaking of “normal”: “normal” is a perfectly good word. We “normals” have been made to feel there’s something wrong with the word “normal.” I reject that outright. There’s nothing wrong with the word “normal.” We instinctually understand “normal” and it’s “normal” to have only two sexes: X/Y males and X/X females, and no matter how modern science can chop, nick, or tuck, all the other “genders” our friends on the left have come up with, they are derivative of only those two.
I am woman! Viva la difference!

February 27, 2025
In the shadow of a sprawling, state-funded education leviathan, a quiet revolution brews. Homeschool co-operatives — tight-knit bands of parents, pooling wisdom and will — are not merely fleeing America’s public schools; they are forging a defiant stand against a cultural tide that threatens to drown the nation’s soul. This is an exodus toward liberty, echoing the Minutemen who once defied an empire. By 2025, with possibly seven million children educated beyond the system’s reach, these co-ops are preserving an American ethos under siege.
Public schools, once cradles of civic virtue, have morphed into laboratories of progressive conformity. Curricula steeped in Critical Race Theory cast the Founding Fathers as villains, not visionaries. Gender ideology supplants biology with fluidity, shrouding childhood in confusion. Climate dogma peddles guilt over reason, priming youth for a collectivist future rather than a free one. Growing numbers of parents, especially conservatives, see schools as hostile to their values — a shift evident in rising discontent over the past decade.
Public education still boasts dedicated teachers and earnest students, and not every classroom churns out radicals. The system’s defenders argue that it reflects a pluralistic society, adapting to new norms. But adaptation has curdled into imposition. When some districts push controversial frameworks like privilege discussions on young children, or reports surface of schools withholding information from parents about their child’s identity, the line blurs between education and indoctrination. The National Education Association’s push for “restorative justice” over discipline, meanwhile, leaves classrooms chaotic, with suspension rates plummeting as test scores stagnate. The data speak: The national reading proficiency rate for eighth-graders languishes at 31%, per the 2023 NAEP report. Something is rotten, and parents know it.
Enter homeschool co-ops, a radical reimagining of learning. These are dynamic collectives — 20, 50, even 100 strong — sharing tutors, swapping skills, and building micro-schools. In Tennessee, a co-op might feature a retired colonel teaching civics from original sources; in Idaho, ranchers could hire a chemist to spark scientific curiosity sans ideological baggage. The numbers impress: homeschooled students, including those in co-ops, often score higher, averaging around 27 on the ACT, compared to the public school mean of 20, according to studies like those from the National Home Education Research Institute. Dues often hover at $200 a year, a fraction of private school tuition. This is populism with a purpose.
Critics scoff, branding co-ops as echo chambers or religious fiefdoms. The charge stings but misses the mark. Yes, many lean Christian, reflecting their members’ values — just as public schools mirror coastal liberalism. Yet their curricula often outshine the state’s: think Plutarch over propaganda, Euclid over equity worksheets. Diversity of thought thrives not in mandated multiculturalism, but in the freedom to choose one’s intellectual path. A co-op in Georgia debates Locke and Rousseau while public peers dissect TikTok trends. Which prepares a citizen?
The conservative lens sharpens this vision. Homeschool co-ops embody a first-principles ethos: self-reliance over bureaucracy, community over centralization. They reject the progressive conceit that only credentialed experts can shape minds, proving instead that a welder with a love for history or a mother versed in Shakespeare can ignite a child’s potential. This is the American dream distilled — merit and grit trumping technocratic sprawl. Contrast this with a massive federal education budget yielding disappointing results, where many high-schoolers struggle to name the three branches of government. Co-ops don’t just teach facts; they cultivate character — kids who salute the flag because they grasp its cost.
This is not to romanticize. Co-ops face hurdles: uneven resources, parental burnout, the occasional overzealous ideologue. A balanced view admits that public schools offer scale and socialization co-ops can’t always match — sports teams, sprawling labs, a melting pot of peers. But when that pot boils over with ideology, scale becomes a liability.
Skeptics will cry “privilege” or “insularity,” and they’re not wholly wrong — access varies by ZIP code, and co-ops can cocoon. But the greater privilege is a system spending $15,000 per pupil yet failing half of them, whereas co-ops thrive on pennies. The greater insularity is a monoculture that brands dissent as bigotry. Consider the Biden administration’s 2023 Equity Action Plan, which pushes equity-focused teaching and resource distribution into classrooms — a nudge toward prioritizing identity over merit. Freedom isn’t free, nor is it perfect — it’s messy, uneven, and worth it.
The deeper conservative insight lies in the stakes. Public education’s trajectory is a slow bleed toward a post-American future — graduates primed to trade liberty for security, sovereignty for globalism. Imagine 2040, with voters who see the Constitution as a relic, not a root. Co-ops counter this with forward-looking defiance. They raise stewards of a republic, not subjects of a regime. Look to Israel, where religious schools meld tradition with innovation, producing tech titans who still honor their past. America deserves no less.
This exodus demands applause and action. Red states should pioneer “Homeschool Liberty Funds,” diverting tax dollars to co-ops as they’ve done for charters. A national “Co-op Alliance” could standardize best practices, amplifying their reach. Parents, meanwhile, must weigh the cost: not every family can join, but every family can support the fight — backing laws that shield this freedom, amplifying co-op successes on platforms like X. The hashtag #EducationExodus hums with stories — a Michigan mom’s thread on her co-op’s robotics win, a Texas dad’s critique of classroom trends. Momentum builds.
In 1775, Minutemen didn’t wait for permission to defend their way of life; they acted. Today’s homeschool co-ops channel that spirit, not with muskets, but with lesson plans, not against redcoats, but against a red tide of conformity. They are a last stand, a beacon for an America worth saving. To ignore them is to cede the future; to join them is to reclaim it. The classroom is the cradle of liberty, and in 2025, that cradle rocks strongest beyond the system’s grasp.
RICHMOND, VA — Governor Glenn Youngkin today announced that Commonwealth Fusion Systems, the largest private fusion company, will make a multi-billion dollar investment to build the world’s first grid-scale commercial fusion power plant at the James River Industrial Center in Chesterfield County, Virginia, on a site owned by Dominion Energy. The project will create hundreds of temporary and permanent jobs in the region.
“This is an historic moment for Virginia and the world at large,” said Governor Glenn Youngkin. “Commonwealth Fusion Systems is not just building a facility, they are pioneering groundbreaking innovation to generate clean, reliable, safe power, and it’s happening right here in Virginia. We are proud to be home to this pursuit to change the future of energy and power.”

Zim : If this is true - and not yet another boondoggle designed to separate gullible poloticians from TaxPayers hard earned monies . . . Great.

I once saw a celebrated American author give a class of literature majors one of the best lessons they could learn. He was speaking about the English language when he noticed that all of the students were busy taking notes rather than listening. He paused and asked how many planned on being writers. All hands went up. He asked how many expected to be successful in their pursuit. Most hands went up. Then he looked them in the eye and told them that majoring in literature is not the way to do so. The students were shocked (as were some of their professors), but the famous novelist continued. He listed his favorite writers of the last century and noted that most had spotty educations and work experiences that had nothing to do with writing. Prestigious college degrees and straight As, he told the students, are no substitute for creativity and life experience.
It was interesting watching some of the reactions in that auditorium. Surely literature majors had noticed that for every Ralph Waldo Emerson, T.S. Eliot, or John Updike with a Harvard degree, there were ten Mark Twains, Ernest Hemingways, Hunter S. Thompsons, or William Faulkners whose academic achievements were rather modest. Still, many of the young students had gotten it in their heads that if they attended the fanciest schools and read the great works of literature with enough enthusiasm, they would one day be recognized for their own literary genius.
Watching this episode affixed in my mind a realization that our society has forgotten how to appraise genius. For far too many decades, we have been steadily replacing the celebration of intellectual achievement with the celebration of academic credentials. The more esteem we have accorded to the mere obtainment of a degree, the less willing we have become to recognize worthy contributions from people without the “right” curriculum vitae.
College matriculation has not always been a hallmark of success. Before the First World War, prominent businessmen and politicians often had no more than a high school education. For many decades after that, a college degree was more than sufficient for most professions. Then came the proliferation of MBAs and other Master’s degrees. Eventually, even those were deemed inadequate to establish someone’s intellectual worth. Now we have Ph.D.s in all manner of disciplines that never would have required so many years of formal schooling in the past. Neither G.K. Chesterton nor George Orwell needed college degrees to make their marks on political philosophy. Neither Nikola Tesla nor Thomas Edison needed college degrees to give the world electric power or artificial light. Genius requires no honorific attached to one’s name.
As with so much else in our culture today, we have been taught to value the wrong things. Education, critical thinking, and intellectual growth are vitally important. A degree is only as important as it assists an individual in these pursuits. If a person advances toward an academic degree without becoming a better thinker, then the degree is just window dressing. Everybody likes an attractive store window, but if the merchandise inside is shoddy, no customer will return. Today, a college degree is advertised as the essential accoutrement for every successful person. Unfortunately, a college “education” has been responsible for producing a surplus of shoddy minds.
A few years back, I watched an argument unfold online. People were debating the emergence of “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” departments in schools and corporations. The back-and-forth was spirited but respectful. Many voices pointed out that DEI initiatives are a legalized form of discrimination that do nothing but divide Americans and aggravate pernicious tribalism.
Then a Boston professor jumped into the debate. She explained that she had advanced degrees in these subjects, that her education had cost several hundred thousand dollars, and that she had been the recipient of several illustrious university grants. She concluded that her C.V. proved not only that she knew more than everyone else, but also that those reading should feel lucky to be the beneficiaries of her free “expertise.” The professor’s patronizing tone conveyed such an appalling appeal to (undeserved) authority that the episode seemed the perfect encapsulation of academia’s collapse. Knowledge and critical thinking skills have been jettisoned in favor of lofty yet hollow titles connoting unearned prestige.
This little incident was an ominous precursor to the “Reign of COVID Terror,” the greatest outbreak not of disease, but rather of crimes against humanity. Rampant junk science and detestable appeals to authority coalesced into a ghastly form of totalitarianism that gave us lockdowns, injection mandates, religious persecution, mass surveillance, and the glorification of “expertise.” In the end, most of what the “experts” told us (with regard to COVID’s origin, transmission, lethality, and treatment) turned out to be spectacularly false. But the “experts” touted their credentials, pointed to all the exalted prefixes and suffixes surrounding their names, and expected everyone else to obey. Authoritarianism thrives when “the credentialed” presume to know best. Credentialism, after all, is sister to aristocracy.
This disconnect between knowledge and authority is one of the most dangerous qualities of Western society today. In a society that values intellectual merit, reasoned argument forms the backbone of the body politic. In a society that values titles of nobility, rigorous debate gives way to official pronouncements from authority figures.
The United States of America knows well the difference. During the Revolutionary War, colonial Patriots engaged in intellectually rich public debate and articulated in detail their reasons for breaking free from the British Crown. Among the copious number of newspaper articles and town hall speeches of the day, The Federalist Papers pseudonymously written by James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay remain some of the most influential philosophical writings since the Enlightenment. Reasoned argument throughout the colonies provided the bedrock for American independence and a national union. Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin did not bark at their contemporaries: You must do what we say because we know best. They counseled: Here are the reasons why we should undertake this arduous task together. Share with us your concerns. Let us reason together.
Our American birthright is not blind obedience to officials and academics with titles of authority. Our birthright is the privilege and responsibility of governing ourselves. Free speech and dissent are our priceless inheritance. We cast off the trappings of nobility long ago.
When citizens are discouraged (or prohibited) from thinking for themselves, freedom cannot exist. In its place, a class system arises in which some people’s opinions matter more than others. Dr. Fauci tells us to stand six feet apart, and, stripped of our prerogative to reason, we are expected to obey. State licensing boards punish doctors for COVID “misinformation” and lawyers for election “misinformation,” and neither group of professionals has any recourse. The Federal Reserve manipulates the value of the U.S. dollar, and there is nothing Americans can do. Ivy League faculties promote “white supremacy,” anthropogenic “global warming,” modern monetary theory, and Marxist socialism, and students are expected to accept falsehoods as truths. Obedience to authority figures is a prerequisite for all forms of tyranny.
What is to be done? The answer is simple. We must return to our American roots. We must distrust government and other institutions of power. We must think critically, ask questions, and engage in vigorous public debate. We must not defer to others simply because of the titles next to their names. We must refuse to be intimidated into silence. We must not fear being wrong. But most of all, we must remember that we said goodbye to aristocracy two and a half centuries ago. Credentials do not make Americans talented or wise. What matters is how we use our brains.
Britain’s Foreign Secretary David Lammy used a United Nations (UN) address to cringingly chastise Russia’s President Vladimir Putin for invading Ukraine and grandstand about Western slavery.
“Mr President, I speak not only as a Briton, as a Londoner, and as a foreign secretary… [but] also as a black man whose ancestors were taken in chains from Africa, at the barrel of a gun to be enslaved, whose ancestors rose up and fought in a great rebellion of the enslaved,” he said, adding: “Imperialism: I know it when I see it, and I will call it out for what it is.”
A review of Lammy’s ancestry by The National Pulse has revealed that many of his forebears were involved in conquest and slavery, at least as much as their Western contemporaries.
The new foreign secretary’s 2021 book Tribes reveals he is “25 percent Tuareg tribe (Niger), 25 percent Temne tribe (Sierra Leone), 25 percent Bantu tribe (South Africa), with 5 percent traces of Celtic Scotland and a mishmash of other unidentified groups.”
AFRICAN SLAVERY.
The Tuaregs are a predominantly Muslim people who do not generally present as black Africans due to North African, Middle Eastern, and even European ancestry. Inhabiting mainly desert regions, slave raiding, slave trading, and protecting slave caravans was a key part of their way of life, and chattel slavery still exists in Tuareg lands to this day.
The Temne were also slavers, and their territories were unstable due to the existence of slave villages that rose in revolt periodically. After the British established Freetown in Sierra Leone as a home for freed slaves, the practice continued in the Temne hinterland into the 20th century.
The Bantu people, including the Zulu, were extremely warlike, seizing much of the territory they occupied in South Africa from the Khoisan, or Bushmen, hunter-gatherers, who are today a small minority in the country. Pygmy peoples were also frequently ethnically cleansed or enslaved by Bantus and continue to be discriminated against by Bantus today.
FAR-LEFT AGENDA.
Notably, it is doubtful Lammy’s ancestors were enslaved “at the barrel of a gun” by Americans or Europeans, with the vast majority of slaves taken from Africa being sold by African slavemasters.
His efforts to turn the Ukraine War into an opportunity to push racial grievances demonstrate not just his own well-established ignorance of history but the far-left ideology still at the heart of the Labour Party, despite Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s efforts to disguise it with a camouflage of bland managerialism.
Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, once on the extreme left of her party, is pulling a similar trick. It is not a coincidence that her team is currently recruiting Labour Party strategists.

The public is exhausted after a decade of chronic untruth from the left-wing and its media.
The 2016 presidential campaign will be long remembered for the false allegation that Donald Trump colluded with the Russians to warp the election.
Citing the bogus “Steele dossier,” loser Hillary Clinton and other Democrat grandees claimed that the victorious Trump was an “illegitimate” president.
Almost immediately, the left and media then pushed for the appointment of special prosecutor Robert Mueller. He assembled a ‘dream team’ of partisan prosecutors to prove Trump-Russian collusion.
Some 22 months later, Mueller found no evidence that Donald Trump improperly won the 2016 election with help from any colluding Russians.
More hysteria followed when Trump was impeached in December 2019.
The left claimed he had pressured the Ukrainian government to look into the family of Joe Biden (then a potential 2020 election opponent) for its corruption with Ukrainian oligarchs—as a condition for releasing military aid designated to Kyiv.
Yet Hunter Biden was paid nearly $1 million a year by a Ukrainian energy company to enlist his father, Vice President Joe Biden, for quid pro quo services.
In turn, Joe Biden himself later bragged he had pressured Ukraine to fire its prosecutor, Victor Shokin—who happened to be looking too closely into the various shady schemes of the Biden family.
The deceptions and lies continued.
On the eve of the first 2020 debate, Biden aide and now Secretary of State Antony Blinken helped to round up “51 former intelligence authorities” to claim falsely that Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop—full of incriminating evidence of felonious Biden family behavior—was fabricated by the Russians.
Yet the FBI already had the laptop and had authenticated it as genuine.
The FBI was also actively enlisting Silicon Valley social media companies to suppress accurate news accounts of the laptop’s embarrassing contents—ostensibly to aid the Biden campaign.
The signees of the false letter included former intelligence kingpins such as Leon Panetta, James Clapper, and John Brennan. None has ever apologized for deliberating lying to the country in a (successful) attempt to help alter an election.
During the summer of 2021, top military officials, at least publicly, parroted the Biden administration’s lie that it was safe to abruptly withdraw all troops from Afghanistan.
The Biden plan was to take political credit for ending the two-decade-long war on the 20th anniversary of 9/11 and the American invasion of Afghanistan.
Yet many intelligence officials in and outside the Pentagon had warned both Biden and the Pentagon top brass that any such reckless and total withdrawal would collapse Afghanistan.
They rightly also advised that sudden flight would give terrorists a windfall of equipment and infrastructure.
But they were ignored and during the subsequent Biden misadventure, thirteen American Marines were needlessly killed.
After the greatest military humiliation in a half-century, Biden and many in the media lied that the mission was nevertheless a successful withdrawal.
But that was not all. For the first time in history, a presidential candidate, Donald Trump, was subjected to numerous criminal and civil suits in an election year.
Yet the federal prosecutor, Jack Smith, met with Biden officials. A high-ranking Biden Justice federal attorney joined the New York municipal prosecution. The Georgia prosecutor met stealthily with Biden’s legal counsel. And a major Biden donor funded the civil suit.
The once collusion-hungry media ignored all such lawfare and rank collusion.
During the 2020 Democratic primaries, the general election, and throughout the first three years of the Biden administration, it was evident that Joe Biden was physically and mentally incapable of serving as president.
Yet his aides and the media all misled the American people. They insisted that Biden was vigorous and sharp.
Then suddenly in June 2024, within a 24-hour period, Biden was declared by these same insiders as unfit to continue as the Democratic nominee.
Their new problem with Biden was not just his long-standing embarrassing dementia. Rather bad polls increasingly warned that voters no longer believed their lies and thus would likely not reelect Biden but would instead punish most Democrats in the upcoming 2024 election.
So, a new media narrative arose: the once-hale Biden was forced to resign as the Democrat nominee. His once widely caricatured vice president, Kamala Harris, just as abruptly was coronated as his replacement candidate by an equally suddenly gushing and colluding media.
In sum, for some nine years, the media and the left have successfully fed the country a succession of rank deceptions and conspiracies.
They did so because they proclaimed Donald Trump too dangerous to be president and therefore any means they employed to stop him were to be justified. And they are doing so yet a third time in 2024.
As they continue, they have all but destroyed democracy, ruined the reputation of the media, alienated the public—and embarrassed their country before the world.

As Steely Dan might say, the things that pass for knowledge today, I can’t understand. It’s all lies, falsehoods, and misdirection on tap, served fresh 24/7/365.
Lie #1: Joe Biden was a great president, a dedicated public servant who put country first and stepped aside so that Kamala Harris’s brilliance could save our democracy.
Well, that’s five lies all tied up in one bundle! Joe Biden is easily the worst president in my lifetime, possibly ever. He and his family got rich, not by serving anyone, but by grifting on his various political offices. Slow Joe also didn’t step aside; he was kicked to the curb by his Democrat comrades after it became clear he was going to lose in November. And so now we have Kamala Harris, who was chosen as V.P. simply because she possesses ovaries and dark pigmentation. And for the one millionth time, America is a republic — if we can keep it — not a democracy.
Lie #2: Man-made climate change will make the Earth unlivable for humans in (pick one) 5, 10, 39, or 5,000 years.
Ha, ha! If you think our Creator would allow us, His/Her/Zey’s most ambitious, creative, and intelligent organism, to destroy our beautiful terrarium, then you’re either a fool or an atheist, possibly both. Our most brilliant minds can’t predict tomorrow’s weather with precision, our weather records extend a mere blip into the nearly five billion years of the planet’s estimated existence, and the only reason the scam’s called “climate change” is because leftists gave up on “global warming” when the Earth inconsiderately stopped warming.
Lie #3: Democrats love black people.
Where to start with this one? The president who ended slavery in America was a Republican. It was the Democrat party who championed Jim Crow laws. It’s Democrats who’ve historically come up with all kinds of handouts and special programs for blacks, not because they love them, but because they think African-Americans simply can’t cut it on a level playing field. Folks, that’s racism of the highest order.
And Democrats just love killing unborn babies, a statistically telling percentage of whom are black.
Lie #4: Diversity is our strength.
Nope, sorry, uniformity is our strength. A team that’s chosen based on merit alone, and who plays according to one set of values and with a single goal in mind, always wins. But don’t take my word for it; ask any recent champions of the almost three-quarters African-American NBA. If diversity is strength, then the NBA is arguably one of the weakest b-ball leagues on the planet.
Lie #4: Gender is fungible.
People who think that taking hormones and having your penis or breasts amputated changes your sex are truly the saddest products of our failed education system. They no doubt also imagine that having webbed feet makes you a duck, or sharpening your canines makes you a vampire. It’s fun to pretend, like I do having a catch while wearing my Yankees jersey, sadly, that does not make me a Yankee. Ninety-nine point nine percent of the human race is born male or female. Period.
Lie #5: Life begins at birth.
During the process of conception, a live sperm unites with a live ovum, this within the vital body of a live woman. This human continues to live — unless torn limb from limb and vacuumed out by an abortionist — until a live baby comes into the world. There is literally no time, from the very moment of conception until birth, where an unborn human is not alive.
Lie #6: Fat is beautiful.
All humans of any size are precious and children of God. That being said, I’ve been a skinny, just right, and borderline obese child of God. And nothing is just right when you’re overweight and out of shape. You’re easily fatigued, your clothes don’t fit you properly, and trust me: hardly anyone of the opposite sex is giving you a second look. Although no one, including me, should hate himself for carrying extra poundage, it’s imperative to work toward one’s ideal weight, especially if you wish to live a long and active life.
Lie #7: No one is illegal.
If there’s no right or wrong, if all that follows this life is one long dirt nap, then OK, no one’s illegal. But in a world such as ours, with an almost universal moral code and a multitude of written laws, much is illegal. You can’t waltz into a foreign country without permission any more than you’d stroll into a stranger’s house and raid his fridge. Or steal his car, assault his spouse, or molest his kids. It’s one of life’s most difficult challenges to stay on the right side of the law. And, frankly, some people don’t even try and should absolutely be called illegal. And punished accordingly.
The Lie #8: The FBI is the pre-eminent law enforcement agency in the world, and they enforce the law without fear or favor.
This might seem true to people who’ve been in a coma for the last decade or consider themselves staunch Democrats. But to believe this, you’d have to ignore (deep breath): the Feebs lying to FISA courts in order to spy on Donald Trump, sharing communications where they talk of insurance plans for stopping Trump, giving Crooked Hillary a pass on mishandling classified info and destroying subpoenaed evidence, wasting time and millions of taxpayer dollars on the Trump-Russia Collusion Scam, stuffing Hunter Biden’s laptop full of debauchery and criminality into the circular file, setting up a bunch of halfwits for a faux conspiracy to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, killing an old, disabled man in Utah for the crime of threatening Joe Biden on social media, and pawing through Melania Trump’s underwear drawer during the outrageous raid on Mar-a-Lago, all the while prepared to use deadly force to settle a records dispute. A records dispute!
At present, Funny Business, Inc. is “handling” a robust investigation into the attempted assassination of former president Trump. Expect an in-depth report on that incident sometime after the Feebs decide whether or not there’s any evidence of criminality on Hunter’s laptop.
Lie #9: Joe Biden and the Democrats have brought decency back into the White House.
I don’t know about decency, but it’s true that senile Joe and his lackeys brought a bunch of things into the Executive Mansion: Dylan Mulvaney, a man pretending to be a girl; a “mysterious” bag of cocaine; a transgendered person flashing his fake breasts on the South Lawn; six of the president’s seven grandchildren, the youngest born of an affair between a stripper and Biden’s felonious son being persona non grata; the selfish, spoiled, America-hating soccer star Megan Rapinoe; the lewd, obscenity-spewing rapper GloRilla; a pair of vicious German Shepherds, both fond of chomping on Secret Service agents; and, of course, Hunter, the president’s crack-smoking, sex-trafficking, illegal gun–wielding Biden Family bagman. If that’s decency, you can keep it.
Lie #10: The U.S. economy’s great; you just don’t know it.
Perhaps this seems true to all the millionaire actors, athletes, newscasters, entertainers, and academics so fond of smooching Democrat derrières. But for those of you like me, who have to pay bills and balance checkbooks, this is not the best of times, but the worst. I mean, Burger Kings are going out of business. Dollar Stores have had to come up with a new name since almost everything costs more than a dollar these days. Personal credit debt is at a record high, not to mention our astronomic national debt. How can anyone tell this particular lie without covering the smirk on his face?
It’s perhaps life’s greatest challenge to personally embrace truth and reject falsehoods. I’ve struggled with that challenge, but at least I’ve made an effort.
Not so for the people peddling the lies listed above.

The idea that carbon dioxide (CO2) drives global warming or “climate change” now enjoys unquestioned authority and near universal approval. As burgeoning public policy, nationally and in some states, it is seeping into what once were private matters of choice (e.g., light bulbs, kitchen cooktops). Many scientists, primarily physicists, consider the belief pure supposition, however, and colossally off track.
John Stuart Mill observed in chapter six of his System of Logic, on ratiocination or logical thinking, that a doctrine may endure because inferences from it lead to ostensibly sound conclusions -- while belief in the doctrine’s truth may exist only by excluding evidence it is false.
Evidence is that CO2 is overall a coolant. First, it radiates incoming solar energy and outgoing terrestrial heat away to space. This is visible as cooling in satellite images not only of Earth but also of Mars and Venus, climate change’s orbiting poster child.
It is an “infrared radiation active” gas, absorbing and emitting radiant energy from the sun -- but not the entire spectrum. Like any molecule, it absorbs only “spectral bands” (beams) of solar energy (sunlight) that “resonate” with its “quantum number,” a measure of the energetic space between its nucleus and electron rings as developed by Max Planck and Albert Einstein in the early 20th Century.
A resonant band of energy from a radiating source causes the molecule’s energy to jump to a higher electron ring then fall back in a tiny fraction of a second. Total energy does not increase in its passage; the molecule is merely a conduit.
Nor is “delay” of the energy’s passage through the molecules likely to raise temperatures. The mean free path of a quantum wave, in the 0.0001 second before it collides with a CO2 molecule on the Earth’s surface, is about 33 meters. So wide a chasm between collisions casts serious doubt on the chances of a “warming CO2 blanket.” The effect from the energy’s fleeting passage through molecules of this trace gas can only be trivial.
Observation in the stratosphere and an Antarctic winter, and recent experiment have shown that CO2 interacts with solar radiation overwhelmingly at 80 Celsius degrees below water’s freezing point, i.e., 193K ( ‑80°C and ‑112°F).
Usually omitted from the discussion, too, is a study in 1971 by two NASA scientists on whether burning fossil fuels for more CO2 could stave off a then perceived ice age threat. They concluded, no. First, warming by CO2, if any, would be offset by the more familiar product of burning fossil-fuel -- smoke and airborne soot -- aerosols.
These tiny particles cool the atmosphere by screening out solar energy (sunlight) and reflecting it back to space, and providing nucleides for water vapor to condense on to make cooling fog and clouds. People contribute about 30% of aerosols to the air annually.
The NASA scientists advised against using fossil fuels to warm the planet in 1971 because they were “atmospheric coolants” with a potential, alarmists claimed, for triggering an ice age. They are still coolants.
Also, while aerosols from combustion cool in direct proportion to their increase, CO2’s warmer (but still tardy) emission bands would quickly “saturate,” damping off any temperature increase. All later studies and the IPCC agree on this, and it means no “runaway warming.”
Recent research shows more critically that, because CO2 concentrations follow temperature change on all time scales their rise or fall is an effect not cause of temperature change.
In the Antarctic’s Vostok Law Dome fossil record CO2 levels follow temperature change by 800 years on average. Recent studies, including one intended to prove the reverse, reveal a current months-long lag. Causes must always precede effects. The only result of a rise or fall in atmospheric CO2 levels would be a tardy and neutral changed presence.
Ironically, fossil fuels are the paramount “green” energy choice. Plants need and absorb CO2, and cannot survive without it. Satellites show plant growth has increased from higher global CO2 levels. A greener Earth is a cooler Earth, and added moisture evaporated from more plants increases water vapor and with it global cloud cover -- two more ways the gas keeps on cooling.
A trace gas, CO2 is about 400 parts per million of today’s atmosphere, that is 0.04%. The IPCC estimates that humans generate about 5% of annual CO2. In money terms, 0.04% of $1,000 is 40ȼ ($0.40) with people’s share 2ȼ ($0.02) -- of what is an innocuous and beneficial coolant.
Today the West is paralyzed by fear of no less than runaway modernity -- of familiar “carbon-based” industrial and domestic activities threatening life on the planet and even the planet itself. The perceived risk, if it exists at all, is unreasonably exaggerated at best and warrants little if any cause for alarm.
While the West obsesses, China, India, and other nations are becoming powers by their intense development of coal-fired energy. In July 2022, China had 1,118 coal power plants and India 285, compared to 225 in the U.S. Both state their intention to build many more of them. No warming calamity has come of this, nor will it come. But it does show how policies deliberately opposed or cool to official “warming” belief confirm that ample use of fossil-fuels can ensure a nation’s security, prosperity and good health. This nation, any nation, deserves that much.
Given the failure of the Republican Party nationally and the domination of our institutions by the left, it falls to these solidly red states to defend the rule of law, our constitutional system and our pre-political, God-given, inalienable rights.
Here is a list of measures that red states should undertake to reclaim lost ground against the relentless power of the left and useless RINOs so that we may preserve our nation, our values and our way of life.
I would propose the following:
1. State legislatures shall call themselves into session at will, particularly when confronted with a tyrannical governor. Many state legislatures are part-time, something conservatives would generally approve of. But in the context of unrelenting COVID fascism and other manifestations of tyranny — including in red states by Republican governors — and encroachments by the federal government, it is paramount that this be amended.
2. The state shall limit executive orders for emergency powers by governors to a single event and for no more than 10 days. Extensions or further orders shall require legislative approval.
3. The state shall declare and uphold the right of its citizens to freely assemble, worship (both in churches and homes), engage in free speech, walk and breathe without encumbrance such as the wearing of masks, and engage in commerce.
4. The state shall limit school closures to 10 days. Further extensions shall require legislative approval.
5. The state shall end all mask and vaccine mandates. It shall declare vaccination passports illegal, including when imposed by the federal government, corporations, local governments and boards, or other entities. When the state ends mask mandates, it shall render it illegal for individual counties, cities and towns to continue such mandates or pass their own.
6. The state shall abolish all universal powers of health departments at the state and county level. It shall be illegal for state and county health departments or directors to issue sweeping mandates, force schools or businesses to close, require the wearing of masks or other physical encumbrances, impose quarantines, or ban gatherings.
Health directors are not mini-dictators. They are paid employees of the county and state, serve at the pleasure of the public and its elected representatives, and are readily terminated at the discretion of the state and county and their elected officers.
7. The state shall scrutinize all federal executive orders, regulations and laws. Any of them deemed unlawful and unconstitutional shall be declared null and void.
8. The state shall declare itself a sanctuary for the Constitution, particularly the First and Second Amendments. The state shall embrace freedom of assembly, worship, speech and the press, freedom to petition the government and freedom from unwarranted search and seizure. The state shall defend the right to bear arms.
9. The state shall refuse all so-called “asylum” or “refugee” cases and all such resettlement efforts, as virtually none of the “refugees” are refugees by any definition but rather economic migrants who entered the nation illegally. Asylum is intended for true victims of persecution, not those laboring under poverty or crime, which affects much of the world. They are not refugees and should not be accorded refugee status or resettled here.
10. The state shall refuse the resettlement of illegal aliens in general and shall not support them in any way — including with health care, other than emergency interventions — whether they declare themselves refugees or not. They will have no access to education, jobs or any public programs.
They will be prosecuted for trespassing, human and drug trafficking, illegal entry, rape, murder and any other crimes they may commit. They will be incentivized to return to their home countries or, when possible and necessary, deported. The state may send them to Democratic states that covet them.
Red states on our southern border shall prevent such individuals from entering or, failing that, deport them back to Mexico. Given the lawless behavior of the federal government in failing to enforce immigration law, defend our sovereignty, secure our border and protect Americans, the individual states shall themselves enforce the law and protect their borders, territory and citizens.

While still early, this primary season is already turning out to be unlike any other. It is not uncommon to see both parties experience a competitive primary with numerous candidates, however, that usually only occurs when the sitting president is concluding his second term in office, making him ineligible for another election. Yet Biden already has two declared challengers seeking the Democrat nomination. On the Republican side, President Trump is seeking to become only the second president in U.S. history to win a non-consecutive term. Because of that, there are essentially two candidates in the race that, to some extent, hold an incumbency advantage.
As always, candidates will attempt to separate themselves from the pack by informing the electorate about the greatest threats facing America, while also trying to convince voters that they have better solutions than their opponents. However, the greatest present threat facing America is unlike any other in history: itself.
While this is an inconvenient truth, America was warned about this long before any of us were born when our 16th President, Abraham Lincoln, stated:
>>>
"At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."
>>>
If America is to be fundamentally destroyed, it will come from the people within, as opposed to enemies abroad. Furthermore, Lincoln suggests that we must actively work together and remain united and strong as a nation to prevent our demise, or else it will surely happen. This unfortunately sounds like a strikingly realistic possibility at this current time.
So yes, the greatest threat to the United States of America right now truly is those within government implementing the destruction we have witnessed for two-plus years, both at home and abroad.
To understand this, one must compare previous eras in our history to the current one.
From the time Donald Trump announced his candidacy all the way through his first term in the oval office, career politicians and media worked in lockstep, parroting the same talking points. They repeatedly warned that Trump was a threat to American democracy, a maniac who was going to get us into nuclear war, provoke Kim Jong Un, embolden Putin, wreck our economy and become a tyrant. Everybody would agree that if those things were to occur, whoever presided over such destruction would undeniably be the greatest threat to a nation, and that includes foreign threats. Those things did not occur under Trump, but interestingly enough, many of the people warning about the dangers of Trump are now in power, and as a result, their warnings are coming to fruition under their own tenure.
In 2019, Kim Jong Un welcomed a sitting U.S. president onto North Korean soil for the first time in history. Kim agreed to work towards complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. Fast forward to the present day and Kim has begun to increase North Korean nuclear capabilities, just a few short years removed from a promising period of peace. The key change between then and now? American leadership.
Putin has been emboldened, but by whom? Prior to this administration, Americans constantly heard about the Russian president. However, much of that coverage concerned the now-debunked Trump-Russia collusion narrative, as opposed to issues of substance. In fact, as the collusion story dominated the news, the U.S. was hitting Putin hard by upholding previously imposed sanctions and placing additional ones that prevented U.S. banks from making loans or issuing credits to the Russian government after their role in a near-fatal poisoning was revealed. But recently, likely after seeing American weakness on full display abroad, Putin resumed expansion efforts by invading Ukraine after a rare hiatus from 2017-2021. The key change between then and now? American leadership.
Tyranny is a universal threat to any country. Tyrants are cruel and oppressive rulers who use their power to strip individual liberties from citizens and make their lives worse in all areas, including financially. By that definition, America is currently under tyrannical rule. While the previous administration protected religious liberty, free speech on college campuses, granted farmers financial freedom during a trade war, created a middle-class-benefitting economy, and further lightened the burden on the middle class by repealing the unconstitutional individual mandate portion of Obamacare, the current administration is a stark contrast.
America has recently witnessed an assault on freedom of speech, watched the White House send condolences to the trans community after one of its members murdered innocent children at a Christian school, and learned of a proposed tax plan that would hurt the finances of millions of Americans by adding four trillion dollars in new taxes.
But perhaps most indicative of a threat from within, this administration has ushered in a period of unprecedented domestic chaos by attempting to forcefully vaccinate citizens, prioritize DEI over equality and common sense, and crater military enlistment by promoting wokeness. Every administration presides over some level of disagreement on issues amongst the general public, but nothing compares to the confusion they are causing young American children to endure, especially during such a crucial time in life for a child’s development.
All these problems will have a devastating impact on America’s long-term future if not stopped dead in their tracks.
Damage to the state of the country since the current administration took power has occurred at such an alarming rate that even the most pessimistic citizen has a hard time coming to terms with what they are witnessing. This is not to say threats outside of the U.S. are nonexistent by any means. However, when America had strong leadership in power, those threats were only potential, now they are active.
If after being previously restrained, our present threats only acted following changes in our government, the greatest threat truly is those in power that allow these crises to occur. As this election cycle unfolds, it will be important to note which candidates grasp this. And looking to better days, when governmental authority returns to righteous leadership, we will quickly see once again that the active foreign threats currently facing America will return to dormant ones.

It probably isn’t lost on most readers that conservatives aren’t always the best at articulating grand visions for the future or for the course of the country. Conservatives are very good at diagnosing problems and lobbying for the negation of those problems, but not always good at crafting an alternative solution or visionary agenda to counter these problems, the problems caused by leftists. Woodrow Wilson had his “14 points” and the League of Nations, FDR had the New Deal, LBJ had The Great Society, and the World Economic Forum has the Great Reset.
If America makes it to 2024 (and I say “if” because, at this point, it is not guaranteed that American civilization will survive until the next election, as it may collapse for any number of reasons before that time), it is clear to me that a grand vision that is equal to or exceeds the left wing grand visions mentioned previously is needed, as a conservative alternative vision in 2024 may be America’s last shot at saving itself from plunging into the abyss. That is why I am proposing something like a return to Enumerated Powers America.
What does this mean? what might it look like? It’s simple: America must return to the pre-“progressive” era of the early 20th century. American government must be reduced to the size it was for the first century and a half of its existence, it must be restored to the ideal government that the founders laid out in the Constitution, and must never again be allowed to go outside of the size or scope that the founders envisioned. Government, in essence, must return to only performing the duties that the Constitution explicitly demands and allows them, and absolutely no more. It must be a government that looks like the one described by the Enumerated Powers in Article I, section 8 of the US Constitution.
According to the Constitution, the federal government is only supposed to have 18 inherent powers. These powers are reserved for the federal government because they are things only the federal government can do, with the idea that the individual states can do everything else on their own, without the federal government intruding on their daily business. Clause 1, for instance, states that, “The Congress shall have the power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the united states, but all duties, imposts, and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States.” Notice that the founders only intended for enough tax revenue to be raised to A.) pay the national debt and B.) provide for the common defense, which means fund the military. Nowhere does this clause mention entitlement programs that will go insolvent in a few years and are increasingly bankrupting the American people, like Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP (food stamps) etc, schemes which have become mandatory for some reason.
In clause 11 of this section, the Constitution grants the federal government the power to go to war if, and only if, it formally declares war, with the consent of congress: “to declare war, grant letters of marquee and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water.” That means that, technically, the Biden Administration’s proxy war with Russia, and the endless supply of military armaments to the Ukrainian military from the United States military could be construed as unconstitutional, because Biden never actually declared war against Russia. Other powers granted to the federal government include things like maintaining an army, a navy, militias, establishing post offices, etc.
What do the Enumerated Powers not permit the federal government’s control over? Well, issues like education, healthcare, energy, the environment, transportation, tax collecting, and so forth clearly do not fall under the constitutional purview of the federal government. So that means that nearly all of the existing administrative state can and should be overhauled, dismantled, and abolished. There are 15 cabinet offices in the Executive Branch of the US government. All but 5 (the departments of State, Treasury, Defense, Homeland Security, and Justice) should be abolished, because these five departments are the only ones that are relevant to the federal government’s Enumerated Powers…and the only ones that do anything remotely close to the duties of the federal government.
All the rest of the administrative state (the departments of education, energy, transportation, agriculture, commerce, labor, health and human services, housing and urban development, veterans affairs, and the interior) and the additional agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency, should be abolished, immediately. That is a monumental task and an uphill battle, but we are discussing a vision that may take a long time to be implemented. On the top of the list, the Education and Environmental Protection agencies must go first. If someone cannot tell that the Education department must be done away with, for instance, which is the reason that things like Critical Race Theory, Comprehensive sexuality education, and social-emotional learning are being taught in public schools, and the reason that public schools are not motivated or incentivized to change anything no matter how much pushback they get from parents, then they are not paying attention. Parents and good teachers should be demanding the abolition of the DOE.
And the reason that all these other departments can be expunged from the government is because the Tenth Amendment of the Bill of Rights clearly states: “the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.” The Constitution clearly does not permit the federal government any say over how the individual states determine their policies or govern themselves in relation to education, energy, their environmental landscape, or nearly anything else that the modern government seeks to control. Why are so many so blind to these obvious facts? These ideas are not revolutionary; the only time they were revolutionary was when a small group of American patriots first unveiled them to the world in 1790. Ever since then, they have served as the basis for the freest and most prosperous nation in the world, if not the history of the world.
And what has happened since the turn of the last century? Congress, who the Enumerated Powers primarily applied to, has ceded most of their constitutional authority and power to the administrative state, and have allowed the administrative state to expand unabated and exponentially since then, to the point where a few government agencies staffed by unelected bureaucrats are making the bulk of the laws today that all Americans have to follow. The only way for the country to survive is if Joe Biden’s America returns to Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and Franklin’s America, Enumerated Powers America.

During its North American aerial odyssey, The Big Chinese Balloon passed within intel-gathering distance of ICBM silo fields, strategic bomber bases, key global logistics hubs (Charleston for example) and major Army and USAF headquarters.
The balloon wasn't just blowing in the wind. Its calculated military itinerary tells reasonable Americans and Canadians -- reasonable being a qualifier that excludes media influencers and politicians bribed or blackmailed by communist China -- that the balloon was spying on critical North American defense installations.
Which means it had a War Mission. Note I did not write "pre-War"; I wrote "War."
I'll explain why in a moment, but first due praise for The Wall Street Journal's February 20 article titled: "China's Newest Weapon to Nab Western Technology -- Its Courts."
According to the report, U.S. and EU officials "accuse China of using its courts and patent panels to undermine foreign intellectual-property rights and help Chinese businesses. They say China is focusing such efforts on industries it deems important, including technology, pharmaceuticals and rare-earth minerals."
Beijing has weaponized its legal system to steal technology.
Beijing's lawfare is calculated and synchronized. According to the Journal the EU is suing China for attempting to bar European companies from protecting their patents in courts outside China. One company official lamented: "It is puzzling that so many cases went wrong at the same time."
Actually -- it isn't puzzling at all.
At the bottom line, communist China is fighting a war to dominate the world. In pursuit of that goal the Chinese state has weaponized every technology, media and means of personal and organizational interaction,
Informed minds assure us the study titled "Unrestricted Warfare" and published by the People's Liberation Army in February 1999 isn't a war plan. I'll agree it isn't a step-by-step plan, but it is a thoughtful and deadly intellectual guidebook China's communist leaders are using to defeat the U.S. and establish a Chinese-mandated international order.
The authors are Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui. When they wrote "Unrestricted Warfare," both men were People's Liberation Army Air Force colonels. Qiao later made major general.
Chapter 2 discusses full-spectrum warfare. Its title in English: "The War God's Face Has Become Indistinct."
Translation: In China's long war with the U.S., weather balloons and lawyer jargon are weapons that can degrade American capabilities.
The chapter lists several types of warfare that China can use to attack and harm the U.S. without risking a military counterattack.
Start with Drug Warfare. The authors add this comment on pushing drugs: "obtaining sudden and huge illicit profits by spreading disaster in other countries." In 1999 it was one of Qiao's and Wang's speculative options. In 2023 fentanyl is savaging American society. Beijing's delivery system for this weapon in Drug Warfare? Mexican cartels.
Here are some other Qiao and Wang options with their comments in parentheses.
--Psychological warfare ("spreading rumors to intimidate the enemy and break down his will").
--Smuggling warfare ("throwing markets into confusion and attacking economic order").
--Media warfare ("manipulating what people see and hear in order to lead public opinion along").
--International law warfare ("seizing the earliest opportunity to set up regulations"). The use of courts to steal technology is another wrinkle.
--Resources warfare ("plundering stores of resources"). China's attempt to gain control of Congo's cobalt reserves involved crooked contracts and bribery. That is white collar plundering.
--Economic aid warfare ("bestowing favor in the open and contriving to control matters in secret"). Controlling matters in secret hints at bribery, blackmail and intimidation. The concept goes hand in glove with resources warfare.
--Cultural warfare ("leading cultural trends along in order to assimilate those with different views"). Beijing has spent billions influencing Hollywood and social media. American teenagers love the China-sourced TikTok app. But TikTok and similar apps are potentially routes for spying and disseminating psychologically and socially destructive propaganda.
TikTok is being banned by some states. We can fight back.
