Although the book was written in 2008 before the election of a contrived “everyman” candidate, Barack Hussein Obama (aka Barry Soetoro), it wasn’t until we began seeing the final stages of the dollar’s demolition that the prophetic nature of Gold Baron hit home. And I’m the one who wrote it.
John Anthony Castro, of whom almost nobody has previously heard, has made it his mission to challenge Trump’s name appearing on the ballot in 17 states. According to the FEC, he has $678 in his war chest. Who, then, is bankrolling these lawsuits?
Some writers feel compelled to compose a column commemorating each holiday that comes along, especially Christmas. I’m not one of them. This year, however, there has been an inner pressure to speak to the “holy day,” its import and impact upon the earth’s inhabitants beyond and including the billions of believers.
Our family was melded between traditions of two faiths – my father a Jew, and my mother a Gentile raised to honor Christian legacy.
The progressive media know the basics of fascism, but they’re having difficulty in identifying the real enforcers of its oppressive liturgy--themselves and the Biden administration.
Within the last weeks, as House leadership finally released much of the 40,000 hours of video of the January 6, 2021 opening of the Capitol building to protesters’ entry, media personalities and the White House have been illegitimately painting constitutional proponents (called MAGA, though not all are) as fascists.
As much as federal agencies are running roughshod over average citizens, who have done nothing more than nonviolently voice their opinion on or near public property, their jurisdiction is limited.
“Really?” some may ask. Yes, really. The problem is that sheriffs have been conditioned to ignore the fact that they are endowed with the highest order of legal authority in the nation.
Rhetoric coming from the media and the Biden administration, for which media is doing CYA duty, is attacking conservatives from every angle conceivable.
Misrepresenting the power struggle the House has undergone over the last month has shifted to verbally disparaging the new speaker, calling Mike Johnson a Christo-fascist (whatever that is), and a spokesman for the “fringe” of the republican party. But who are the real “fringe” operatives that have overtaken a political party?
Just when We The People finally make headway against the recklessly overspending Uniparty, old guard “sages” raise their talking heads to stain us all “traitors” by applying the epithet to the eight brave souls who brought down the RINO vanguard occupying the Speaker’s seat in the House.
Legacy media commentators are quick to call the largest faction of the republican party “rebels.” They call conservatives poison, but who are they?
They are mouthpieces of the elitists, and the elitists themselves (those who consider themselves superior, having stolen the mantle of rulership). They are the media, educators, politicians, and government workers, paid lackeys following orders from the higher-up they, the whip-cracking donors and lobbyists.
As much as the establishment uniparty squawks, it’s time they realized that the electorate has had enough of their fiscal shenanigans and fully supports putting an end to their unholy reign.
The vote to vacate the Chair that Representative Matt Gaetz led, unseating Speaker Kevin McCarthy, was a victory in the long war to staunch the financial and moral bleeding from a critically wounded national capital.
Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. (KJV)
In the freedom, then, with which Christ did make you free -- stand ye, and be not held fast again by a yoke of servitude; (YLT)
Apostle Paul was directly correlating “the yoke of bondage” or “servitude” to being compelled by legalism to take on the outward signs of piety by making physical changes to one’s body. He was talking about circumcision.
Voters from Oregon, the first state to institute all mail voting in 2000 after experimenting with it from 1981, had a clue to what was coming in 2020. Comprehending how mail-in ballots are susceptible to manipulation, Oregon may be the poster child of invoking the method to flip a state from conservative to progressive, the last republican to hold the governorship leaving office in 1987.
For those indiscriminately discrediting conservative speech by creating a nonexistent Hitlerian comparison, it’s time to rethink what is actually occurring under the administrative state.
The self-proclaimed tolerant have proven themselves to be intolerant of opinion differing from theirs and have no compunction about compelling compliance, including use of force. Having entered a new age of intimidation that emulates the relatively recent past, law has been relegated to the rubbish heap in favor of “acceptable speech” which amounts to coerced groupthink.
Things are heating up, and, no, that’s not a reference to the three-digit temperature readings across the country this summer. It’s acknowledging the rising tempers of citizens being forced to endure regulation upon regulation coming down from the Biden administration restricting access to everything from public lands to gas stoves, air conditioning and even light bulbs.
The looming question is what to do about it when Congress is dragging its feet despite the barrage of “investigations” and states refusing to step-in with their constitutional authority to “throw the bums out” – the bums being federal agencies.
War material provided to Ukraine to keep the war with Russia alive has been mostly ending up in one of two places... either destroyed by better-armed Russian military or sold on the black market to terror groups.
No wonder European leaders are decrying the gift of cluster bombs to Ukraine. The warheads have been condemned for the potential to indiscriminately slaughter troops and civilians by inflicting horrendous bodily damage. Because the dozens of “bomblets” that each projectile carries fly in all directions, the destruction is widespread from the point of impact.
With the windows fast closing to comment on illegal regulations certain to be imposed by BLM and EPA, citizens wonder why they should bother to contact the agencies when the runaway administration ignores submissions.
Hellbent on ramming through policies (not law) that confiscate private land, deny access to public land and force Americans and the auto industry to changeover 67% of vehicles to electric power in nine years, people ask what they can do to halt the feds steamrolling over their constitutional rights. Comments clearly don’t have much impact when the monstrous agencies have a perfidious agenda.
Carbon dioxide is to blame for all of society’s ills and is the ultimate demon that is killing life on earth. That’s the stance of United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres and his cohort of megalomaniacal selected leaders of the world.
Debt ceiling reruns, outstripping Congress’ past inactivity by placing no budget restrictions in the “deal” laced with language intended to mystify the public (and give cover to media and politicians), allowed self-focused representatives to ignore government overspending. Riots, looting, shooting, warmongering, Green New Dealing, social media influencing, loitering, drugging, and flat-out laziness were essentially green-lighted to continue at a runaway rate, all on the federal (our) dime.
From the start, Kevin McCarthy must have been aware of the deceit. The die was cast at the outset, going through the motions of 15 rounds to make it look like he capitulated to the People. His actions indicate that he didn’t and never planned to follow through with the compromise.
The Biden administration has become the enemy of the People as it ushers illegals (approximately six million since taking office) into the country, hands out free cell phones, feeds, clothes, transports and houses them anywhere they desire to go within the United States.
Secretary Mayorkas is escorting illegal border-crossers to new digs in every state, busing and flying them to ports of entry all across the country. In so doing, along with myriads traveling independently by car or rail, every state has phalanx after phalanx of unvetted, unprocessed, economic aggressors fortifying unassimilated communities covering the map. Reticent Border Patrol agents are coerced by DHS to hand out thousands of free entrance passes – I-862 forms brandishing court appearance dates as much as 10 years in the future.
Common sense constitutionalists recognize a hustle when they see it, and the Biden administration is outdoing itself pulling one gimmick after another and rushing them into operation under the ‘color of law.’
The argument has entered into the realm of the debt ceiling battle between Congress and the president. Laurence Tribe, Harvard professor, has added his over-the-top idea by recommending that the president can somehow hijack the 14th Amendment to allow Biden to ignore Congress’ fiduciary power. This expert has said that the Office of President should implement its “duty” to handle the “faith and credit” of the American People by overriding Congress and raising the debt ceiling on his own. This has no bearing in law but comes under the heading of what would be ‘color of law.’
