The Michelle Obama Nightmare Scenario

May 3, 2023

All the attention is on the Republican race right now, but it should be on the Democrat race following the announcement, by that desiccated pervert masquerading as our president, that he thinks (sic) that he can go another round as president. The sad fact is the only people happy about Biden’s presidency are that very real doctor, Jill, and Jimmy Carter, who is serene in the knowledge that he was not the worst president of the last century thanks to Grandpa Badfinger.

Everybody knows that Joe Biden is a demented freak and a creepy confident weirdo who was an idiot before his mind disintegrated into the kind of mush that he eats on the rocking chair every afternoon watching “Matlock” reruns. Too bad – for us – that his Oval Office dreams had to come true right at a time where, overseas, we are seeing the rise of a pure competitor for the first time in generations, where, at home, our country is about to pull itself apart between the competing interests of patriots and Democrats. So, the 2024 race is kind of important, and leave it to the Democrats to treat it like Taylor Swift treats her boyfriends.

King Charles and the Globalists Set Meeting for September to Plot How to Accelerate Goals of U.N. Agenda 2030 and the Complete Digitization of Humanity

May 3, 2023

The World Economic Forum and United Nations are so concerned that the goals of Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development and the Great Reset (aka technocracy under a one-world beast system) are in jeopardy of not being fulfilled by the appointed date, that they have called for a summit in September to discuss how they can kickstart their stalled totalitarian agenda.

The WEF, founded in 1971 by German economist and engineer Klaus Schwab under the tutelage of Dr. Henry Kissinger, has said for years that by 2030 the people of the world will “own nothing,” that they will “have no privacy,” but they will somehow learn to like their evolving state of digital slavery.

You will be living in a tiny apartment in a so-called smart city, where almost no one works, sitting back playing video games and drawing a universal basic income check from the government. The smart homes situated inside smart cities will be powered by artificial intelligence, an all-knowing force with a watchful eye on everyone’s activities, movement, even their thoughts. People will willingly eat bugs and artificial lab-grown meat as their source of protein in a universal effort to help the Earth “heal” itself through carbon neutrality.

WATCH: De-Transitioned Girl Testifies In Support Of Child Mutilation Ban In Louisiana: “I Exist”

May 3, 2023

Louisiana is currently considering a bill that aims to prohibit certain procedures that alter the sex of a minor child in the state, including the use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.

After the bill was introduced, Chloe Cole, a de-transitioner, spoke out against the medical abuse she endured as a child. Chloe, who transitioned medically at the age of 13 and later de-transitioned, testified in front of the Louisiana Health and Welfare Committee on Tuesday.

Chloe’s testimony was powerful and emotional. “Doctors medicalized me starting pubic blockers and testosterone at 13 years old,” she said. “I was given a double mastectomy and my breasts, an important part of my sexuality and future motherhood, were removed in the name of political ideology at only 15 years old.”

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

May 3, 2023

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

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

Biden Admin Tells Catholic Hospital to Blow Out This Sanctuary Candle or Stop Serving Patients

May 3, 2023

The federal government recently told a Catholic hospital in Oklahoma to either blow out a small candle or stop serving elderly, disabled, and low-income patients. Saint Francis Health System, the twelfth largest hospital in the nation, keeps, with many prudent safeguards, a sacred candle always lit inside its hospital chapels, in accordance with its Catholic faith.

After a hospital inspection in February, the government said a single candle was too dangerous and now threatens to strip the hospital of the ability to accept Medicare, Medicaid, or CHIP if it does not extinguish the flame. Becket sent a letter to the Biden administration reminding it that Saint Francis has the right to religious freedom and warning federal bureaucrats to leave the candle alone.

Saint Francis Health System is a premier health system with five hospitals in Eastern Oklahoma. The health system cares for nearly 400,000 patients each year, has given away more than $650 million dollars in free medical care in the past five years, and employs more than 11,000 Oklahomans. Saint Francis’s mission is to extend the presence and healing ministry of Christ. In addition to providing compassionate and top-notch care to its patients, Saint Francis lives out its religious mission by maintaining multiple chapels throughout its hospitals, each of which has been blessed by the local Bishop.

AMERICANS CAN’T CONTINUE TURNING A BLIND EYE TO THE BORDER | TOMI LAHREN

May 3, 2023

An illegal immigrant murders his neighbors – execution style – but the Left still blames the gun that apparently went rogue all by itself.

Meet Francisco Oropesa, the Mexican National AKA illegal immigrant who shot five of his neighbors, including an 8-year-old child, in Texas over the weekend reportedly over them asking him to stop firing his rifle in his yard after midnight.

But I’m sure you’ll just be shocked to know that not only is Francisco Oropesa an illegal alien with no legal right to be in Texas or the USA as a whole, but he’s…wait for it…a criminal illegal alien who has been previously deported with multiple illegal re-entries and god knows what else on his record.

But the Left wants you to believe this is just another incident wherein magical guns go berserk all on their own, so we must better regulate them.

Hmm, well I’m just spitballing here but perhaps instead of infringing on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans we just keep illegal immigrants and especially felon illegal immigrants from doing whatever the hell they please and tap dancing all over our national sovereignty and basic laws.

Biblical sites in the Holy Land: It’s less about pinpointing the location and more about feeling the spirit of the event

May 3, 2023

Biblical sites can provide ‘spiritual echoes’ and ‘visual clues’ — not only to those touring the sites but believers from half a world way

JERUSALEM — When it comes to pinpointing sacred biblical sites in the Holy Land and beyond, sometimes the most certain thing about the historical location is the uncertainty.

Was the baby Jesus born in Bethlehem in a cave — at the present-day spot of the 14-point silver star inlaid in a marble floor of a grotto underneath the Church of the Nativity? Or perhaps elsewhere in the system of grottos that extend under the adjacent Chapel of Saint Catherine? Or somewhere else in or around Bethlehem, the small village that has since grown to a city of more than 30,000?

Was the Savior crucified and then entombed at the two locations enveloped by the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, with the tomb cut away over the centuries to be encased by a shrine called the Aedicule? Or might the Crucifixion and burial have taken place at or near Skull Hill and the Garden Tomb respectively, both outside the walls of the Old City?

And when individuals want to “walk where Jesus walked” while traversing the walkways of old Jerusalem, do they understand that the city has been built among layers of stone, soil and debris from changing and conquering peoples and periods — Roman, Byzantine, Crusader and Ottoman, just to name a few? With the Old City’s “layers” going 20 to 30 feet deep in some locations, one might instead “walk over where Jesus walked.”

Democrat Lawmaker Lois Frankel Sold First Republic Stock Before It Crashed by 80% – Bought JPMorgan Stock Which Just Bought First Republic Instead

May 3, 2023

Investor Matt Allen posted an interesting tweet on how one Democrat lawmaker was able to wade through the collapse of First Republic Bank.

Congresswoman Lois Frankel sold First Republic Bank in March before the stock dropped 80%

After she sold First Republic, she bought JP Morgan Chase which just bought First Republic. She clearly had inside information.

Scoop: Biden's new strategy on judges

May 3, 2023

The White House is deploying a new strategy to guide its judicial nominees through a tricky Senate process that has gotten harder with the prolonged absence of Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Axios has learned.

Driving the news: President Biden today will nominate four new judges for openings on federal district courts — and the White House is optimistic about winning confirmation based on behind-the-scenes groundwork.

Why it matters: Feinstein’s health-related absence from the Judiciary Committee looked like it might bring Biden confirmations to a halt in the Senate, where Democrats have a razor-thin majority.

But Biden officials have begun a coordinated effort to work more closely with senators, including Republicans, about judicial vacancies in their home states.
The officials include White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients, Counsel Stuart Delery, Director of Legislative Affairs Louisa Terrell, and their staffs.

Key takeaways from Senate hearing on Supreme Court ethics

May 3, 2023

Supreme Court ethics and questions surrounding the conduct of Justice Clarence Thomas were on full display Tuesday at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.

The panel heard from a range of legal experts on whether Congress has the authority to require the high court to adopt an enforaceable code of conduct. Democrats have pushed for such legislation following reports scrutinizing Justice Thomas' nondisclosure of private luxury travel and accommodations from a wealthy Republican donor.

"How low can the court go?" chairman Dick Durbin, D-Ill., asked as the hearing kicked off.

"We wouldn't tolerate this from a city council member or an alderman," Durbin added. "It falls short of ethical standards we expect of any public servant in America. And yet the Supreme Court won't even acknowledge it's a problem."

Meanwhile, Republicans made it clear they would push back on any congressional attempt to impose rules on the court and accused Democrats of "political theater."

On government ethics – Look over there, folks

May 2, 2023

Democratic Senators will profess to be concerned about ethics in government during today’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. A transparent purpose, however, is to deflect attention from their own party’s epic fail in enforcing ethical standards, to say nothing of the law, with respect to President Joe Biden.

There is now abundant evidence that the Commander-in-Chief has become very wealthy through a series of influence-peddling transactions with, among others, intelligence agents of America’s foremost enemy: the Chinese Communist Party. Of course, Biden has not formally disclosed any of these deals. Yet not a single Democratic Senator has called for his investigation, let alone condemned him.

Spare us the crocodile tears about purportedly insufficient filings by Supreme Court justices until a man who is supposed to set the standard for ethical and lawful conduct in our government is held to account.

This is Frank Gaffney.

Bold action needed to deter China’s invasion of Taiwan

May 2, 2023

China‘s actions against Taiwan are increasing in scope and intensity. We have documented the exercises around Taiwan, the first (Joint Fire Strike) last August and the second (Joint Anti-Air Raid) last month, and we anticipate a third (Joint Island Landing) this fall, all of which are designed to prepare for the invasion of Taiwan.

Given that the invasion of Taiwan could occur at any time and might come as soon as this year, drastic actions must be taken to deter the People’s Republic of China.

The threat of an invasion of Taiwan is real and increasing in likelihood as evinced by many factors, including the exercises that provide Beijing with the confidence to conduct the invasion without fear of defeat by Taiwan’s forces or allied forces. The exercises were supported and integrated with joint logistics and information dominance.

Moreover, China‘s maritime and aerial penetration of Taiwan’s territory is now routine, increasing frequency and location of the People’s Liberation Army Navy’s carrier operations near Taiwan, Japan and Guam. In addition, Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping’s statements, as well as those from other CCP and government officials, are ever more explicit about realizing their strategic goal of invading Taiwan.

‘Go Woke, Go Broke’: Bud Light Sales PLUMMET Following Boycott – ‘This Kind Of Collapse Has Never Occurred’

May 2, 2023

On Monday, it was revealed that Bud Light has seen its sales numbers plummet in recent weeks after a major boycott was launched in reaction to Anheuser-Busch’s partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

According to Business Beer Daily, Bud Light’s sales have dropped a shocking 26 percent on a year-over-year basis on sales that occur outside of the restaurant and bar sector for the week of April 22.

The news comes as another devastating week for the company after the week of April 15th saw a 21 percent decrease in sales bringing their total sale figures for the year down eight percent, as reported by Outkick.

In response to the news, conservatives celebrated by claiming the sales decreases are a sign that an effective boycott can change company policy.

State, local legislatures eye bans on gas-powered lawn equipment

May 2, 2023

Several states are rushing to prohibit gasoline-powered mowers, blowers and trimmers in dash to new, zero-emissions economy.

While the Biden administration and its Green New Deal allies have been expanding their list of technology targeted for forced obsolescence deeper into the realm of American family and private life to include gas stoves, light bulbs and traditional cars, local and state officials are stepping up the ongoing war against gas-powered landscaping equipment for both commercial and home use.

Over 100 localities across the U.S. have imposed bans on gas-powered lawn care equipment, according to the Washington Times. They may soon be joined by Dallas, whose municipal Environnment and Sustainability Committee last year recommended that the city "fully implement City-staff transition to electric equipment."

The Dallas committee cited case studies from other large jurisdictions like Washington, D.C., which has decreed that "no person sell, offer for sale, or use a gasoline-powered leaf blower," and Montgomery County, Md., which is weighing similar legislation.

In 2021, California extended a patchwork of local efforts statewide when Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed AB-1346, which "prohibit[s] engine exhaust and evaporative emissions from new small off-road engines” by 2024 on the grounds that they "emit high levels of air pollutants."

On this day in history, May 2, 1611, King James Bible published, helped fuel revolution in American colonies

May 2, 2023

Story behind 'most widely published text in the English language' packed with royal intrigue

The King James Bible, the most famous version of the world’s most influential book, was published on this day in history, May 2, 1611.

"The King James, or Authorized, Version of the Bible remains the most widely published text in the English language," claims the British Library.

Commissioned by King James I of England in 1604, it is famed for its artfully written versions of Old and New Testament tales; its success bringing the Word of God to English-speaking commoners; and its influence on the American colonies.

"In commissioning the first complete English translation of Christianity’s most sacred book, the King hoped to end protests by the Puritan faction of the Church of England," the website MapsoftheWorld.com notes.

"The result, beyond simply an authoritative text on which to continue building the national religion, would have far-reaching influence on the language itself."

Bombshell Transcript Proving Antony Blinken Lied to Congress Leaves Republicans at a Crossroads

May 2, 20232

Whether Antony Blinken lied or not to Congress is no longer up for debate.

That’s the headline after a bombshell transcript of testimony given by the Secretary of State shows that he claimed to have never had email correspondence with Hunter Biden. That claim was wrapped in a broader answer in which Blinken attempted to distance himself from Joe Biden’s troubled son.

But as I shared in a recent write-up, Blinken had extensive contacts with the younger Biden. Those numerous exchanges culminated in setting up an in-person meeting between the two. Further emails confirm that the meeting did take place. That’s made more significant by the time period, which just so happened to be when Hunter Biden was on the board of Ukrainian gas company Burisma.

To put an even fine point on the probable corruption, Hunter Biden contacted another Burisma board member to announce his meeting with Blinken. Now, why would he do that if Burisma wasn’t the topic of discussion?

Where There’s Smoke

May 2, 2023

America is engulfed in billowing black smoke. America is on fire. America is burning to the ground.

I was recently walking home from the park with my awesome two-and-a-half-year-old daughter. She said, “Daddy, I smell smoke.” I pointed down the street where a neighbor was burning some brush. You could see smoke rising into the air. I told my little one, “See the smoke. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.” She repeated the phrase in her cute little voice.

I’ve reflected that it’s amazing such a small child could comprehend “where there’s smoke, there’s fire,” but most adults in America – indeed, the world – can’t seem to grasp the idea. Most see the smoke, but they can’t put two and two together and realize the smoke is a result of a burning society engulfed in a raging fire being deliberately stoked by their enemies. They blindly plod forward following the herd of apathetic and unthinking people to their doom – the blind leading the blind (Matthew 15:14).

The first step on the road to recovery from a host of problems, both personal and societal, is to acknowledge there’s a problem. If we continue waltzing forward without admitting there are serious issues that are eroding and imploding everything good around us, we’ll one day wake up in the chains of Marxian high-tech feudalism.

Workin’ man blues

May 2, 2023

How the Democrats lost the white working class

He wasn’t a Southerner. But my paternal grandfather was a yellow dog Democrat. Born and raised on a farm in Hardin County — a small, tidy corner of northwest Ohio — Grandpa Nelson spent his life in overalls, out in the fields. He served in the army during World War II (nothing too exciting — he was a cook), came home, got married, had four kids and went to the Methodist church in town every Sunday. And, as long as he was physically able to vote, he threw his lot in with the Democratic candidates.

In that respect, my grandfather was an oddity. Ohio has been called the ultimate swing state; it also has a gift for being a national bellwether — other than Joe Biden, no presidential candidate has taken the country without taking Ohio since 1960. As has gone Ohio in 11 out of the past 12 elections, so has gone the country. The state went blue when Clinton won in 1992 and 1996, but then went red for Bush in the two elections that followed. And then it went blue again for both of Obama’s terms.

But Ohio broke ranks in 2020 — when the nation handed Biden the win, the state went the other way. Hardin County exemplified the change. It went red in 2016 and then even redder in 2020; Donald Trump got 75 percent of the vote there in the last presidential election, trouncing Biden by a 52-point margin.

There’s an easy explanation — Hardin is about as working class as you get. While 90 percent of the county has graduated from high school, only 16 percent have a bachelor’s degree. Manufacturing is the area’s single largest employer.

ETSU Doubles Down On Diversity, Equity, And Inclusion Efforts After Acknowledging Lack Of Positive Outcomes

May 2, 2023

East Tennessee State University (ETSU) is “shooting for the moon” with updated diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts outlined in the institution’s strategic plan through 2026.

Strictly based on The University of Tennessee-Knoxville’s DEI infrastructure trajectory over the last several years, it looks like ETSU could achieve a fully built-out DEI infrastructure within the next three years.

It was recently reported that in ETSU’s April 3rd edition of their Office of Equity and Inclusion Newsletter, the school’s VP for Equity and Inclusion, Dr. Keith Johnson, reflected on the lack of positive outcomes regarding DEI efforts and suggested that there should be consequences if an institution does not achieve DEI performance goals.

This year, the Tennessee General Assembly considered a few pieces of legislation, including HB1376/SB0817 and HB0158/SB0102, to combat DEI efforts in both higher education and K-12 education.

HB2670/SB2290 was also passed back in 2022 with the same goal in mind.
