    While Europe is being invaded in slow motion, the United States is having a tsunami invasion. Those running the Executive Branch -- not brain-dead biden -- are in full treason mode. These anti-Constitution communists need illegals to cast illegal ballots during elections. Then people wonder why the pro-Constitution side is arming-up. :mad:

    "Report: Thousands of Migrants Waiting in Mexico to Rush U.S. Border When Title 42 Ends"

    https://www.breitbart.com/politics/...ng-mexico-rush-u-s-border-when-title-42-ends/

    "This month, a federal judge struck down Title 42 — the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) authority first imposed by former President Trump in 2020 to allow Border Patrol agents to quickly remove illegal aliens arriving at the southern border.

    "Rather than appealing the judge’s decision, Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas asked the court for five weeks to wind down Title 42.

    "As a result, reports indicate that thousands of migrants are waiting in Juarez, Mexico, as well as Tijuana, Mexico, in camps for Title 42 to end in the coming weeks so they can get their chance to rush the southern border."

    The following occurred before the covid thingy.

    "Number Of Handgun Owners Carrying Daily Nearly Doubles In US"

    https://www.zerohedge.com/political/number-handgun-owners-carrying-daily-nearly-doubles-us

    "A new study published in the American Journal of Public Health revealed the number of law-abiding Americans carrying a loaded handgun daily nearly doubled between 2015-19.

    "The study titled 'Trend in Loaded Handgun Carrying Among Adult Handgun Owners in the United States, 2015‒2019' found the number of law-abiding US adults carrying handguns nearly doubled from 9 million in 2015 to 16 million in 2019.

    "There was no explanation by the study's authors for the rapid increase in daily handgun-carrying adults. But during the period, social unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, and Baltimore City, Maryland, as well as surging violent crime across certain metro areas, could be the reason behind the trend.

    "After all, an overwhelming number of respondents said they were carrying handguns for 'personal protection.' [next up was carrying for defense against animals -- Old Geezer; been there done that: nasty dogs and one bear that liked local apple trees]

    "And then there's this summer's US Supreme Court's NYSRPA v. Bruen ruling affirmed the right-to-carry applies outside the home, which forces states to stop arbitrarily denying carry permits to applicants who didn't meet specific requirements. This ruling has allowed millions of gun owners to conceal carry if they take a two-day class and pass a background check.

    "Suppose the authors were to update the study for the pandemic years and the Bruen ruling. In that case, we believe the number of Americans packing heat has dramatically increased as the country is plagued with violent crime in progressively run cities."
    --------------------------------------------

    Old Gzr: I doubt that the carrying of firearms went up much at all in the Heartlands.

    The people carrying today are afraid and afraid for good reason. Laws are not being enforced and there are places where if the police go in, they only go in in-convoy, multiple cars with a truck. In the suburbs of these urban areas, the situation is worsening. The gangs are spreading-out their turf into even the "nice neighborhoods". One can get robbed at a local gas station. Twenty-plus years ago, we were visiting my wife's brother who lives in Memphis. I fill-up with gas


    I lived in one conservative Southern state that required training, a test, and then range time in front of a range officer before getting a permit to carry. Police/nobody cared what you had at home. This state I'm living in now allows "open carry" which is to say if you are out'n'about with a handgun, it has to be holstered AND visible. You can't hide it. In your car, you have to put your handgun on the dashboard where a cop can see it. To get a concealed permit, you have to get a license. Now that I've fully retired, I don't go near areas where a significant percentage of the population is uncivilized. I stay with my own. In these not-SHTF-yet times, handguns are just a bother when out of the house. There are ne'er-do-wells who walk our road (dopers and other knuckle-dragging mouth-breathers), so when the wife walks our dog in the front at night, I turn on the porch light and watch her ... with some handgun dropped in my pocket. The dog would attack them, but oft times, trash "humans" travel in packs.

    In the South you'll even see cops at gun shows who are selling ammunition. There were a bunch of yahoos where I lived, so I didn't mind jumping through the concealed-carry legal hoops. The local sheriffs were very conservative and readily approved permits for any normal folk requesting. True about sheriffs here in this state where I live now. The mean, the crazies, and the trash get weeded out. Cops know the career offenders and paroled offenders who will re-offend -- the commie judges won't keep them behind bars. "We have to understand them." Yeah, and I'm the Easter Bunny.

    In socialist states, handgun permits only go out to people with influence such as lawyers and those in organized crime. Organized crime gangs get designated members who currently have no rap sheet to be their body-guards. This phenomenon is particularly true in New York. The mob owns most of the cops, but the gangs of today are not what they used to be. And too, the really bad-news monsters go into the "legal ownership" of construction companies, union management, and into politics.

    Coming over my car radio yesterday on the local news . Hospitals are " now " rejecting people whose plan was to get " Medicare " to pick up the tab . The government is not paying up . Though I am not an expert on the subject , suspect those Medicare plans they are constantly pushing is the reason . The politicians have been paid off to allow big companies to rob old folks of their benefits . By dangling a trinket in front of the old fa-t have taken away most of the benefits needed during hospitalization . Don't be surprised if the hospital come after the old fa-ts home for payment after they have died from half as-ed care . --- Things are indeed collapsing Medicare , inflation , fuel availability , food availability , government injections , and a potential Nuclear World War 3 . Now the largest volcano on the planet erupts and on a pop up which , I haven't looked into yet there is something about the Yellowstone volcano going sideways . -- No wonder so many people today wish they had been wise enough to be a prepper , starting many years ago .

    "Yellowstone supervolcano contains twice as much melted rock as thought"

    https://www.newscientist.com/articl...ontains-twice-as-much-melted-rock-as-thought/

    "The magma reservoir beneath the Yellowstone Caldera contains almost twice as much melted rock as previously thought. The increased estimate, however, doesn’t meet the threshold that suggests an eruption at Yellowstone is more likely.

    "Eruptions are supplied with magma from two huge reservoirs beneath the caldera, one near the mantle and one a few kilometres below the surface. Once thought of merely as “big tanks” of magma, the reservoirs contain a complex 'crystal mush' of melted rock and crystals, says Ross Maguire at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The composition of this mush partly determines the volcano’s likelihood of erupting: a higher proportion of melted rock to solid crystals makes the magma more likely to mobilise.

    "Because seismic waves move more slowly through areas with more melted rock, Maguire and his colleagues were able to analyse seismic data recorded around Yellowstone over the past 20 years to estimate the proportion of melted rock in the shallower magma reservoir.

    "Where past analyses used a simple model that treated the waves as linear rays, their analysis used supercomputers to model the waves in three dimensions to get a more complete view of the reservoir."
    ------------------------------

    Should the Yellowstone volcano pop its top, it would be bad for the world's climate, but you sure don't want to be living west of the Mississippi should it occur. Here's a map of the several U.S. volcanoes' ash beds:

    "U.S. Air Marshals Reportedly Plan Mutiny After Biden Orders Them to Southern Border"

    https://en-volve.com/2022/12/05/u-s...y-after-biden-orders-them-to-southern-border/

    "U.S. air marshals reportedly plan to 'mutiny' against an order from the White House to leave their posts aboard commercial flights and take posts at the U.S. southern border.

    "Dozens of marshals have promised to disobey the order in protest, Air Marshal National Council President David Londo told The Washington Examiner.

    "Biden ordered U.S. air marshals to the southern border to make up for the lack of Border Patrol agents.

    “'The rank and file air marshals are going to refuse to deploy and risk termination,' Londo said.

    “'You’re almost going to have a mutiny of a federal agency, which is unheard of.'

    “'Morale is so destroyed from this,' he added.

    “'I’ve never seen anything like this.'”

    Rider bills (attaching all manner of mandates whether appropriate to core legislative actions) makes the U.S. Congress look like a bunch of little kids fighting over a bowl of candy.

    "Democrats Try to Attach Marijuana Reform to Defense Bill"

    https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/12/05/democrats-try-attach-marijuana-reform-defense-bill/

    "Democrat Senate Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is pushing to include the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act in the NDAA. The SAFE Banking Act would make it easier for state-licensed marijuana business owners to access financing from national banks. The bill would also create grants for state expungement of past marijuana convictions.

    "Although the SAFE Banking Act has little to do with the nation’s defense, Democrats are scrambling to include as much unrelated legislation into the NDAA in the last remaining weeks of the year before the GOP takes majority control of the House at the start of the next Congress on January 3."

    I recall something about a highway or bridge to no where attached to certain bills....as a strategy.

      This sort of sh## happens perpetually. One can look-up projects that are well beyond bizarre. I've seen lists of University Sociology research studies that were beyond useless -- utter purposelessness. Many if not most non-engineering / non-classic curricula are now simply political indoctrination. America and Western Civilization in general is evil to the core according to the orthodox Left. All of this needs to have its funding halted.

    "Philly Or Fallujah? Gas Station Owners Hire Militarized Security, City Imposes Curfew"


    https://www.zerohedge.com/political...hire-militarized-security-city-imposes-curfew

    "It's no secret Philadelphia is a dangerous city.

    "In 2019, the murder rate was 22.47 per 100,000 residents according to FBI data, with 331 homicides that year. Fast forward three years, and there have been 480 murders year-to-date.

    upload_2022-12-8_15-45-21.png

    "According to city statistics released in September, overall shootings have increased by 3% over last year, while violent crime is up 7%. Robberies involving guns are up 60%, while rapes are down more than 25%. Property crimes are up over 30%. Businesses getting hit particularly hard - with commercial burglaries up a staggering 50%, according to Axios Philadelphia. What's more, the city's drug crisis is spiraling further out of control with a new drug called 'Tranq' - an anesthetic and pain reliever used to treat horses and cattle, and which turns people into zombies.

    "Crime is so out of control that the Philadelphia City Council recently approved a 10 p.m. curfew for anyone under the age of 18 - making a temporary summertime law permanent.

    "To combat the crime wave, Philadelphia gas station owners have turned to hiring heavily armed guards.

    "'They are forcing us to hire the security, high-level security, state level,' said Karco gas station owner, Neil Patel, who has recruited Kevlar-clad S.I.T.E. agents packing AR-15s or shotguns. 'We are tired of this nonsense; robbery, drug trafficking, hanging around, gangs,' Fox5 reports.

    "The final straw for Patel after his business was reportedly vandalized by young people who stole an ATM machine. His car has also been a casualty of crime, according to the report.

    "'We wear Kevlar, we are trained, my guards go to training every other week, they're proficient with [their guns] and with their taser, they know the law,' said police chief Andre Boyer.

    "A realtime online poll on Fox5's website reveals that 93% say they feel safer with guards who have AR-15s at gas stations:

    As Amerikan cities collapse, police are leaving for jobs in America. Many are retiring early. Recruitment of new officers is not keeping up with the losses. This phenomenon is a good barometer of the urban collapse going on here in the States.

    The liberal de-funding of police, the surge in crime due to the revolving-door "justice" system, lawsuits, disrespect, increasing danger factors, on and on, ... all of this would have sent me packing long ago were I a cop. If I get no loyalty, then I give no loyalty. This seems to be why decent officers are hitting the road for greener pastures.

    As with the collapse of other empires / nations, this nation's decline is first happening in the cities. The decline is speeding up and what with the coming economic collapse, Humpty Dumpty can't be saved.

    "Law enforcement officials sound alarm on police exodus amplifying crime crisis: 'We can't keep you safe'"

    https://www.foxnews.com/media/law-e...rm-police-exodus-amplifying-crime-crisis-safe

    "Report shows police resignations up 18%, retirements up 45% while crime surges

    "Law enforcement agencies are sounding the alarm on the consequences of a dramatic increase in police resignations and retirements since 2020, leaving America's streets less protected as crime rocks the country.

    "National Police Association spokesperson Sgt. Betsy Brantner Smith, LAPD Detective Jamie McBride and former Chicago police officer Anthony Napolitano joined "Fox & Friends First" Friday to weigh in on what they called a 'crisis.'

    "'We can't get new people to this profession because law enforcement has been lied about,' Sgt. Betsy Brantner Smith warned.

    "'We've been vilified. So we're heading we're in a crisis.'

    "Meanwhile, crime in major cities continues to rise. According to police department data, Chicago has seen a 39% increase in crime, Philadelphia 24.3%, New York City 21.1%. and Los Angeles 8.7% year-over-year.

    "LAPD Detective Jamie McBride shared concern over his city as fewer officers means a decreased ability to serve the community.

    "'It's not safe here,' McBride warned. 'I've been telling people for over a year, do not come to Los Angeles. We cannot keep you safe.'"

    "N.Y.P.D. Officers Leave in Droves for Better Pay in Smaller Towns"

    https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/09/nyregion/new-york-police-department-attrition.html

    "Through November, about 1,225 officers resigned before even reaching five years of service, according to New York City Police Pension Fund statistics obtained by The New York Times. Many left for other New York State agencies or police departments outside the state.

    "New York Police Department officers are particularly susceptible to being wooed by other agencies. Lower salaries for new recruits are a big reason. So too are longer hours amid increased attention to crime from the mayor and the public, particularly in the subway system.

    "Police departments across the country are grappling with increasing resignations and retirements. And while hiring levels rose last year after a sharp decrease in 2020, they have not made up for the losses, according to a March report from the Police Executive Research Forum, a law enforcement policy group. In November, the organization’s director, Chuck Wexler, wrote that finding the next generation of cops may be 'the single most daunting challenge that policing has faced in decades.'

    "Lower pay is exacerbated by other grievances, Mr. Lynch said. Many officers must work longer hours to make up for the staffing shortage to meet extra demands like patrolling the subway system, he said. Some officers feel frustrated when the people they have arrested are quickly released, he added.

    "Since January 2020, about 9,400 officers have left, city pension data shows. About 6,900 have joined, though some graduating classes have fallen short of target goals."

    "Poverty and Violent Crime Don’t Go Hand in Hand"

    https://www.city-journal.org/poverty-and-violent-crime-dont-go-hand-in-hand

    "Many analysts, along with the general public, believe that poverty is a major, if not the major, cause of crime. But a new study from a Columbia University research group should remind us of something that history has consistently shown: that the relationship between poverty and crime is far from predictable or consistent. The Columbia study revealed the startling news that nearly one-quarter (23 percent) of New York City’s Asian population was impoverished, a proportion exceeding that of the city’s black population (19 percent). This was surprising, given the widespread perception that Asians are among the nation’s more affluent social groups. But the study contains an even more startling aspect: in New York City, Asians’ relatively high poverty rate is accompanied by exceptionally low crime rates. This undercuts the common belief that poverty and crime go hand in hand.

    "Asians had consistently low arrest rates for violent crime—usually lower than their proportion of the population, lower than those of blacks and Hispanics, and in one category (assault), even lower than that of whites, who, as a group, are far less often impoverished.

    "At 1.2 per 100,000, Asian murder arrest rates were nearly one-ninth of black rates. If poverty were the principal cause of crime, we would expect Asian rates to be as high, if not higher, than those of blacks. That the Asian rates are relatively low illustrates what I call the 'crime/adversity mismatch,' a recurring phenomenon. As I observe in my history of crime: 'Throughout American history, different social groups have engaged in different amounts of violent crime, and no consistent relationship between the extent of a group’s socioeconomic disadvantage and its level of violence is evident.'

    "When it comes to violent crime—murder, assault, robbery, and the like—history tells a complicated story. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, impoverished Jewish, Polish, and German immigrants had relatively low crime rates, while disadvantaged Italian, Mexican, and Irish entrants committed violent crime at high rates. This crime/adversity mismatch also seems to be a global phenomenon. In Great Britain, for instance, a criminologist observed that 'all of the minority groups with elevated rates of crime or incarceration are socially and economically disadvantaged, but some disadvantaged ethnic minority groups do not have elevated rates of offending.' There, too, it was the case that Asians were more disadvantaged than blacks, but the latter had much higher offending rates."

      When son #1 retired from the Navy, He entered the San Diego police academy. I am proud to say he graduated near the top of his classes. I am also very happy that he decided not to pursue a law enforcement career. After experiencing the political and social B.S., in the academy, he decided this was not a good career for the future.

    Hammering out a living

    https://www.breitbart.com/crime/202...g-armed-robbery-attacks-democrat-run-chicago/

    "Two men with hammers robbed a pedestrian in Chicago early Sunday morning amid a string of armed robbery attacks within the city.

    "Two men holding hammers can be seen on security camera footage stepping out of a vehicle and approaching the victim before demanding his property, the outlet noted. The victim reported to police that the offenders snatched his phone before returning to their vehicle and driving off.

    "The holdup comes as the Chicago Police Department (CPD) released a community alert Monday evening that listed 50 armed robberies reported from December 7 to December 10, believed to be committed by the same group of offenders.

    "The CPD says the group of robbers will typically commit their attacks either overnight or early morning hours. The offenders will pull up to the victims, who are either on foot or seated in their vehicles, and demand that the victims hand over their personal belongings.

    "The offenders are described as two to four black males, ages 15 to 30, wearing dark clothing, hoodies, and ski masks, while branding firearms.

    "CWB Chicago noted that the Humboldt Park robbers had different methods and appearances than the group that Chicago police are referencing.

    "The Democrat-run city has seen a surge in major crimes, including robberies, since this time last year, according to CPD statistics. Robbery is up by 15 percent, theft is up by 58 percent, and carjackings are up by nearly 100 percent since last year. Furthermore, over 70 robberies have occurred in Chicago since December 2."

    Quote:

    WASHINGTON—In the early hours of Tuesday morning, lawmakers released the text of a 4,155-page omnibus spending package. The massive $1.85 trillion spending bill would fund the federal government through fiscal year 2023. It’s under consideration by a lame-duck Congress, many of whose members will no longer be answerable to voters who just opted to flip control of the House of Representatives. The proposal would increase the federal deficit by $2.65 trillion over 10 years, $20,000 per household, further driving up inflation.

    This proposal is not only a betrayal of American voters’ wishes as expressed at the ballot box, however. It also contains billions in wasteful spending on ridiculous political pet projects, including the following:

    Murder happens in affluent neighborhoods as hoods drag their knuckles out of inner cities.

    Murdered woman's son speaks out against atmosphere of violence here in the States. Violent felons are being put right back out on the streets until they end up killing someone or more people. Then, they are locked up for a longer period of time. Meanwhile civilized humans are left to defend themselves because Amerikan Socialists succede in their efforts to defund the police. This is far, FAR beyond infuriating.

    Video report on a murder this week that occurred only a short distance from the Governor of Georgia's house. The woman's son found her stabbed to death in her house's garage. The murderer scaled the property's fence (gated community) to pull off a carjacking. Something went wrong, so the felon slashed her and stabbed her to death.

    "Sandy Springs police said a grand jury indicted 24 alleged gang members on 220 total charges related to the wave of break-ins at celebrity homes. Police said four suspects are wanted on outstanding warrants."

    "The four earlier arrestees, and other gang members, are suspects in more than a dozen home invasions in Sandy Springs, including a July 4 break-in at a home on Parkside Place, where a resident was shot. They are also considered possible suspects in similar crimes in other parts of the metro Atlanta area.

    "Police said the victim of the July 4 shooting is still recovering from injuries.

    "'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star Marlo Hampton said she was also one of the targets.

    "The 'Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act' or RICO case that led to the massive indictment includes charges of gang involvement, home invasion, burglary, aggravated assault and numerous gun possession charges."

    "Top Virginia high school accused of withholding academic awards for 'equity': 'The dumbing down of America'"

    https://www.foxnews.com/media/top-v...g-academic-awards-equity-dumbing-down-america

    "Virginia parents are outraged after a top-ranked high school allegedly delayed notifying students of national academic honors in the name of "equity," making them unable to account for the recognition in some college applications.

    "Fairfax County parent Asra Nomani joined 'Fox & Friends First' on Wednesday to discuss why the school delayed the awards and the importance of meritocracy in the classroom.

    "'This year the entire controversy just blew up because the kids got their certificate, weeks after early college application deadlines, just dropped on their desks as if it was just another piece of paper,' Nomani told co-host Todd Piro.

    "Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJ) in Alexandria, Virginia, allegedly delayed academic awards for years, according to Nomani, because of its ploy to advocate "equal outcomes for every student, without exception."

    "The school has even implemented a policy awarding students a 50% just for showing up to class, and administrators have eliminated zeroes entirely."

    ------------------------------------------------

    https://thecrankycreative.com/what-happened-to-white-people-in-tv-commercials/

    Quotation in yellow-green:

    Let’s talk about diversity in TV commercials

    If you only watched TV, you might think that white people (including fumbling, bumbling white males) are a minority in the United States. Depending on the commercial break, you might even guess that the population is nearly 70 percent black and 30 percent “other.”

    You’d be wrong, of course. According to 2020 Census data, white people make up 61.6 percent of the population, black people 12.4 percent, Hispanics or Latinos 18.7 percent, and Asians 6 percent. (That’s what the report says, anyway. It should be noted that a new “diversity index” in the Census has some claiming that white people are undercounted.)

    Yet, today it’s getting to the point where the average family in a TV commercial will soon consist of a black man, a white woman, and their two Chinese kids.

    While there’s no doubt that society is becoming more diverse, you have to admit that something feels off here.

    And before anyone gets their undies in a bundle, it’s a legitimate question to ask why black people (12 percent of the population) are given so much representation and white people are a shrinking minority in U.S. television commercials.
    Where are the Hispanic and Asian people?

    Together, these groups now account for 24.7 percent of the U.S. population, yet they do not appear in anywhere near 24.7 percent of the advertising.

    Going by the commercials, one would think that Hispanic and Asian people make up a far smaller percentage of the population than black people, when in fact their number is double.

    This is not authentic. This is not realistic or representative. And unfortunately, the frequency of the misrepresentation is only one part of the problem.

    “Whitewashing” black people

    The other problem is that all of these ads showing black people aren’t really representative of black people at all.

    Isn’t it just a little bit racist of advertisers to tell us that blacks and other people of color must walk, talk, dress and behave like white people, and partake in activities favored by whites, in order to be successful?

    If I didn’t know better, I’d say it almost feels like many of these commercials were written with white people in mind, and then black actors were hired for the sake of “diversity.”

    We see it all the time: the upper-middle-class family wearing upper-middle-class clothes, living in an upper-middle-class home and doing upper-middle-class things, like attending piano recitals, or gaming with pals on razor-thin laptops, or having a backyard birthday party complete with pink princess decorations and a tent and giant bounce-house.

    Is this what everyone looks like?

    "Riverside County Sheriff’s Deputy Killed by Convicted Felon"

    https://sbcountyda.org/2022/12/29/riverside-county-sheriff-deputy-killed-by-convicted-felon/

    "SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, Calif. – On December 29, 2022, William Shea McKay was identified as the shooter that killed Deputy Isaiah Cordero with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department during a traffic stop in Jurupa Valley.

    "The San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office prosecuted McKay, who was convicted of his third strike in November 2021. Despite our requests at that time to set bail at No Bail, his bail was reduced by the judge to $500,00.00, and his sentencing was continued. McKay posted bail in March of 2022, and unfortunately in July was granted another continuance for sentencing, which our Office also objected. Lastly, McKay failed to appear to his sentencing in October 2022 and was issued a bench warrant.

    “'Our Office is saddened to learn of the death of Riverside County Sheriff’s Deputy Isaiah Cordero,' says District Attorney Jason Anderson. 'Our Office upheld our oath of pursuing justice by prosecuting convicted felon McKay in November of 2021, however a failure in the process to separate McKay from society and hold him accountable for his crimes has resulted in the tragic loss of a law enforcement deputy. Our prayers are with Riverside County Sheriff’s Department and particularly the family and loved ones of Deputy Isaiah Cordero, who paid the ultimate sacrifice ensuring the safety of his community.'”

    As I keep trying to say ...and or illustrate for the members and others.]

    Joe Biden and the Left are clearly proving/demonstrating to thinking people...that the standards for President of the United State are no where near as high as we have been mislead to believe that they are..

    Very very low in fact...

    An all the time these phony Republicans are silent.

    Test-lab Chicago ... and the rest of Illinois

    Safe-T Act goes into effect

    "Illinois law eliminating cash bail has some in law enforcement concerned"

    https://abc7chicago.com/cash-bail-illinois-no-criminal-justice-reform-safe-t-act/12169983/

    "GRUNDY COUNTY, Ill. (WLS) -- A controversial criminal justice reform law is back in the spotlight as a suburban sheriff and prosecutor are raising concerns about its impact.

    "The law that will eliminate cash bail as of January 1, 2023, and also restrict who can be arrested.

    "The reforms under the Safe-T Act that eliminate cash bail will open the doors to freedom for many people currently locked up who can't make bail.

    "But Grundy County Sheriff Ken Briley is raising concerns because the law will ban arrest for people accused of certain misdemeanors. He cited trespassing as an example.

    "'Today, I can arrest him if you sign a complaint for trespassing,' Briley said. 'January 1st, I'm not going to be able to do that. The law says I have to write him a ticket and leave.'"

    Remember what I stated in an earlier post...if you know about the Occult nature of what is going on out here and where these Occult practitioners of this religion intend to take this country...here...

    This link....


    Goat of Mendes | Article about Goat of Mendes by The Free Dictionary

    click on the image of the goat and notice on the arms of this goat...it says "Solve"..and then to the other arm..."Coagula."

    dissolve...and rebuild....or put anther way ..build back better..


    Notice that this goat is a Hermaphodite.....

    Catching on yet????


    Notice millions of dollars to people who define themselves by their sexuality.....talk about stupid....

    Now look again at this goat of mendes...or Baphomet.

    No educated thinking disciplined human defines who and what they are by rabid, runaway, rampant sexuality.


    They are promoting a religion here with taxpayer dollars...a very zealous religion and they intend to hold all of America hostage and in bondage to it....as the preferred manner to be an American.

    Everyone else be silent.

    Be warned these Ishmaelites.

    "97% of Anti-Jewish Hate Crimes in New York Were Committed by Other Minorities"

    https://www.amren.com/news/2023/01/...-new-york-were-committed-by-other-minorities/

    "Americans Against Antisemitism (AAA) released a report revealing that 97% of hate crimes against Jews in New York between 2018 and 2022 were committed by other minority groups.

    "AAA’s report was first posted on AAA founder Dov Hikind’s Twitter account Wednesday. The report documented 194 cases of assault against Jews from April 2018 to August 2022, and, in 99 of those assaults, official reports included the ethnicity of the perpetrator revealing 97% were committed by other minorities.

    "Black perpetrators were responsible for 69% of physical or verbal assaults, Asians made up 17%, Hispanics accounted for 11% and white attackers committed 3%.

    "Of the 194, 154 were physical assaults and 40 consisted of verbal assaults, almost four instances of physical violence per one instance of verbal abuse, according to the report. Teenagers were responsible for 22% of the assaults and 16% of teens carried out the attack with two or more individuals."

    The British labour party under Corbyn were accused of anti semitism, they were great supporters of Palestine but had a rabid hatred of Israel, many of the older MP's being followers of Marxism.
    I think also in the general public the members of a certain religion are anti jewish too.

    Call me a conspiracy nut, but yet again we see an egg-producer lose thousands of chickens. This is just downright freaky.

    https://en-volve.com/2023/01/29/update-egg-farm-fire-killed-roughly-100000-chickens/

    "BREAKING: Large Fire at Connecticut Egg Farm

    "The fire occurred at Hillandale Farms, one of the top-5 egg producers in the country.

    "The enormous blaze reportedly led to the death of about 100,000 chickens at the Bozrah egg farm.

    "It’s unclear what started the fire.

    "More than 20 fire fighting crews from across the region battled a massive blaze at an egg farm in Bozrah on Saturday, fire officials said.

    "Saturday’s fire will likely exacerbate the exorbitant price of eggs."

    Bullying in American schools not only involves students but also teachers.

    "Watch: 9yr old Florida white girl beaten by two black boys in school bus attack"


    https://scallywagandvagabond.com/20...n-by-two-boys-in-homestead-school-bus-attack/

    "9 year old Homestead, Florida white girl beaten by two black boys during school bus attack. Police arrest at least one of the students, with students attending Coconut Palm K-8 Academy. Parents of victim plan to pursue criminal charges.

    "Cellphone video has captured a 9 year old Florida girl mercilessly beaten by two boys aboard a school bus – the incident has since led to the child’s parents saying they now plan to pursue criminal charges against her attackers.

    "Footage of the assault (see below) shows two boys repeatedly pummelling the third grader at Coconut Palm K-8 Academy in Homestead as she sought to fend her attackers off.

    "Miami-Dade Fire Rescue officials confirmed they responded to the incident around 4:10 p.m. Wednesday in the area of 24400 SW 124th Ave. Officials said they assessed two children for injuries, who were then released to their parents. At least one of the two boys alleged to have attacked the 9 year old girl has since been arrested, NBCMiami reported.

    "The video shows a group of children onboard a school bus arguing one minute – the next minute, a student is seen punching a young white girl repeatedly. A second student then jumps in and pummels the girl, as well. ..."

    Prisons are violent places. When you throw that many violent people into a confined space it is GOING to get UGLY. They generally try to isolate the worst of them but you have to understand that everyone in prison has issues with restraint and following rules. They do to some extent segrigate the most violent from the less troublesom but there is still a lot of trouble.

    There are a lot of different kinds of prisons. Here the big house is called The Walls. Two story high brick walls all the way around it. That prison is about three blocks from the Town square here. There are 7 big prisons here and one county lock up. There is also a big University so we are pretty well fixed economicly and don't have as much flex as most places. Recession, depression. or just low ecomomics the prisons and the University are a steady income.

    It is nothing like what you see on TV.

    The country of El-Salvador has just finished constructing a mega-huge new prison. They are attempting to house all of the gang-members they have arrested. Me, I'm surprised they didn't just shoot them dead. If these are gang members, then they are murderers and rapists. One has to commit a particularly heinous crime to be accepted into a Central American gang. In Central America, hyper-violence is certainly not rare.

    https://ticotimes.net/2023/02/04/wh...-the-largest-in-the-americas-look-like-inside

    "El Salvador’s mega-jail, billed as 'the largest in the Americas,' features a high level of security and promises harsh treatment for 40,000 gang members detained as part of a 'war' declared on them by President Nayib Bukele.

    "The prison was built to hold part of the 62,975 gang members detained under an exceptional regime that was decreed by Congress at Bukele’s request, in response to an escalation of violence that claimed the lives of 87 people between March 25 and 27.

    "In order to build the prison, the State purchased 166 hectares, 23 of which were used to build eight pavilions within a perimeter surrounded by a concrete wall 11 meters high and 2.1 kilometers long, protected by electrified wire fences.

    "To make the prison autonomous, the Salvadoran Minister of Public Works, Romeo Rodríguez, declared that two wells were drilled, a 600 cubic meter water supply plant was installed, four cisterns were installed, and eight electric power substations were built.

    "Each cell block has a construction area of 6,000 square meters, and in each of its 32 steel-barred cells, 'more than one hundred' gang members will be housed, explained Minister Rodriguez."

    "Not a single student can do math at grade level in 53 Illinois schools. For reading, it’s 30 schools – Wirepoints"

    https://wirepoints.org/not-a-single...chools-for-reading-its-30-schools-wirepoints/

    "Spry is one of 30 schools in Illinois where not a single student can read at grade level. Twenty-two of those schools are part of the Chicago Public Schools and the other eight are outside Chicago."

    [​IMG]

    The failure list in math is even longer. There are 53 schools statewide where not one kid is proficient in math


    [​IMG]

    "Defenders of the current system are sure to invoke covid as the big reason for the low scores. But a look at the 2019 numbers show that the reading and math numbers were only slightly better than they are now.

    "Take Spry, for example. Just 2 of the school’s 127 students in 2019 could read at grade level before the pandemic. In math, zero students were proficient.

    "The failure isn’t about money, either. Data from the Illinois State Board of Education shows spending at Spry was already at $20,000 per student before the pandemic. Today it spends $35,600.

    [​IMG]


    "What’s really incredible is that many of these schools are rated “commendable” by the Illinois State Board of Education. That’s the 2nd-highest of four 'accountability' ratings a school can receive.

    "Not a single one of the 113 students at Sandoval Sr High School can read or do math at grade level. And yet the school is 'commendable.'

    "Same with Ralph Ellison Chicago International Charter School. Over $24,000 spent on each of its 172 students. Labeled 'commendable.' And none of the students are proficient in either reading or math.

    "In a sane world, schools that don’t and can’t teach a single student the most basic of skills would be shut down. But here, they carry on…the system thrives while students wither."

    Public Schools have become , like many things financed by government, ...have become a Jobs program.


    The important function of public schools today is to preserve the jobs of teachers...and thus the important voting block of the teachers unions...who always vote to the left...


    It is clearly not about educating our children and or grand children.

    It becomes about getting federal funds....not the education of the children.


    This was clarified to me by way of a woman who had taken in two children from the Foster Care program and her and her husband decided they wanted to adopt these two. Foster Care highly discouraged it...and I came to realize that it was because they would lose matching federal funds.. That many of these social programs are federally funded and have morphed into a jobs program for predictable guaranteed voting blocks.....staffed mostly by predictable women who will vote to the Left.

    If this woman had adopted these two children the social services would have lost significant federal funds.

    Public school is no different. They lose significant funds on Senior Skip Day.

    It isn't really the schools as much as it is that the parrents just don't care or play much of a part in ensuring that their kids DO get an education. My Mom sat down with me EVERY week and made certain that I could spell the words on that weeks spelling list. They made sure that I not only could read but that I did read.I always had comic books and age apropriate books. My bed time was at 9 but I could read until 10. I read every night and still do.

    I did the same with my Daughter and she crused easily through high school and college. The ability to read, comprhend, and retain things is priceless.

    If the parents aren't there, the kid's life is screwed.

    One of my several brothers-in-law retired from the school system -- teacher/coach thru on into administration. (Didn't like him; my favorite brother'n'law got killed).

    PTA meetings, the parents aren't there (neither of them; often the dad is gone and/or unknown) = BAD

    PTA meetings, the parents are there = there is hope for the kid.

    Are there examples of single parent families who raise decent kids? Sure! Is this a risk factor? Oh, yes!

    I was afraid of my father. "The beginning of all knowledge is the fear of God." Respect is born of witnessing wisdom in a person, plus knowing that they are not a person with whom one trifles.

    No discipline at home = little hope for the children of that home. No emphasis on doing good at school = little hope.

    Both boys and girls need two parents, one male, one female. This to teach them how Nature works. This to provide role models.

    My dad was a sh##, but he taught me morals. Felonies? Shouldn't have been -- people are gonna gamble. Better a gambling house than getting killed during a car drag race. And he drank like a fish. Still, good and evil were good and evil. The one time I saw my father steal, it was to get his money back. By the time Dad and I got there, the people who owned Dad money had gotten the hell out of Dodge ... good thing they did. So, he takes this as payback. Honesty 101. No one got hurt and their business was not burned down. Fair is fair.

    To some extent the secret to a long successful marriage is never giving up. ALL marriages have ups and downs. If you give up the first time you have a blow-up you are making a mistake. I've known people that did this over and over. LOL, my wife has a cousin that has been married 14 times. As soon as the new wears off and ther is a fuss, she is out the door...or more likely throws him out the door. Honestly I never could see what ANY man saw in her. She must have had hidden talents! Each time when she was ready to split the sheets she would empty the bank accounts and max out all of the credit cards. She always gave me the creeps and if I knew she was coming to visit I would make myself scarce.

    We are closing in on our 50th aniversery. LOL We have had some just knock down drag out fights but we never went to bed mad and mostly settled out disagreemants after a blow up. I think that there are just stresses and frictions and if you don't get it out it can make little problems into big ones. If nothing else making up is always nice and fun.

    "The unemployment rate for immigrants and the U.S.-born is 3.2 percent and 3.4 percent, respectively; however, these figures obscure the long-term decline in the labor force participation rate of the U.S.-born, particularly those without a bachelor’s degree. The unemployed only includes those who have actively looked for a job in the prior four weeks and does not include those entirely out of the labor force — neither working nor looking for work. The share of the working-age U.S.-born in the labor force remains below pre-pandemic levels and has been declining for decades. If the labor force participation rate for the U.S.-born in the fourth quarter of 2022 was what it had been in the fourth quarter of 2000, then 6.4 million more Americans would be in the labor force.

    "This analysis by the Center for Immigration Studies is based on the Current Population Survey (CPS), collected by the Census Bureau for the Bureau of Labor Statistics. We focus on the peak years of economic expansion (2000, 2006, and 2019) as well as 2022 because it is the most recent quarterly data available. Immigrants (legal and illegal together) in the CPS are often referred to as the "foreign-born" and include all persons who were not U.S. citizens at birth — primarily naturalized citizens, lawful permanent residents, long-term temporary visitors (e.g. guestworkers), and illegal immigrants."

    I'm sorry to have to say it but we need those people. Those people are mostly taking jobs that you could NEVER get those people on welfare to do. They are one and all hot, labor intensive, low paying jobs. By the time you pay income tax and social security you are making a lot less than someone on welfare. The only reason tha you can get those illegal visitors to do it is that they are not eligable for welfare and assistance from the government. If they get citizenship they quit working and go on welfare.

    Many preppers here in Amerika will likely have to deal with some form of the following:

    "Washington property owner says squatters returned after SWAT raid: 'I'm going to give up'"


    https://www.foxnews.com/us/washington-property-owner-squatters-returned-swat-raid

    "Squatters who took over a Washington state property during the coronavirus pandemic were finally removed by a SWAT team this week only to return to the property shortly after, according to the property owner.

    "Roughly 30 officers took part in the Wednesday raid of a Lynnwood, Washington property that had been taken over by squatters as part of a stolen vehicle trafficking investigation. Police say 52 cars, some of them stolen, along with drugs and firearms were found on the property, KIRO 7 News reported.

    "The property owner and neighbors told the outlet they have been dealing with the squatters for several years, dating back to the height of the coronavirus pandemic when evictions were prohibited by the state and federal government.

    "'A bunch of criminals,' Laleh Kashani, the owner of the property, said. 'They took over the house and we couldn’t collect a dollar of rent, and have a mortgage.'

    "Lieutenant David Hayes of the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office told the outlet that 5 arrests were made during the raid and that "multiple people" were living on the property both 'short term and long term' who had 'no ownership' and were living in 'unhealthy and unstable conditions.'

    "Fox News Digital spoke to Lieutenant Hayes who said that ensuring the squatters don’t return is 'largely on the property owner.'"

    --------------------------------------------------
    "Maryland resident finds squatters in her bedroom, $49K in belongings cleaned out"

    https://www.foxnews.com/us/maryland-resident-squatters-bedroom-belongings-sold

    "A woman returning home from vacation found a couple laying in her bed and property worth tens of thousands of dollars gone.

    "A woman in Greenbelt, Maryland, returned home from vacation April 5 to discover her front door damaged and her possessions cleared out of the apartment. Next, she found a couple laying on her bed together.

    "As the panicked resident began to ask how they got in and what they wanted, the suspects told her they 'took all of their property.' According to police, they then 'became aggressive with the victims before fleeing on foot in an unknown direction.'

    "The suspects are still on the run and Greenbelt Police request anyone with information on their identities to come forward.

    "Elsewhere, some police departments have begun encouraging residents to utilize their right to self-defense against burglars.

    "Florida Sheriff Bob Johnson defended a local homeowner who shot at a burglar entering their home. While the identity of the homeowner who fired the weapon is unknown, Sheriff Johnson assured residents that they would not be in trouble for defending their homes.

    "Johnson clarified that the homeowner did not hit the intruder and did nothing wrong in the process.

    "'If someone is breaking into your house, you're more than welcome to shoot them in Santa Rosa County. We prefer that you do, actually,' Johnson said in a press conference following the break-in."

    "Seattle business owners left to fend for themselves on crime take matters into their own hands"

    https://www.foxbusiness.com/retail/...es-on-crime-take-matters-into-their-own-hands

    Several business owners at the town hall directed their grievances toward Citywide Seattle Councilmember Sara Nelson, a small business owner herself, who was in attendance.

    "We've been broken into four times in the last couple of years, and when we're making our insurance claims, it's really hard because we're at the point where they could drop us," Karen Jahn with The Wax Bar said, according to KOMO News.

    Steve Naramore, of a shipping and coffee hybrid store called Sip and Ship, said that it’s become common practice for his employees to stand guard at the store’s door and engage the deadbolt if they see a potentially dangerous person approaching.

    "Our crew are often left to deal with increasingly aggressive behavior," Naramore said. "A common position for one of our baristas is to stand by the front door with her hands on the deadbolt lock because somebody is pacing back and forth in crisis in front of the store, and we’re just worried, terrified that they’re going to come in and we don’t know really what’s going to happen from there."

    There's also the "driving up and staying" squatter camps. This happens a lot in national forests and wilderness area campgrounds. Often it is game wardens who discover and have to deal with these due to there remote locations.

      "DECATUR, Ga. - A soldier who’s returning from a year-long deployment said unwanted guests have been living in his house.

      "Fowler said DeKalb County police have been called to the home four times, but he was told officers are not able to remove the squatters.

      "Police were able to get the names of some people living at the home. Fowler said he's learned at least one has an extensive criminal record.

      "A local attorney told FOX 5 people in this situation in Georgia have to go through an eviction proceeding to establish the person has no right to be there.

      "Unfortunately, Fowler said this means he’ll likely be without a home for months."

    Squatting in residential property was made illegal here many years ago there is a £5,000 fine or 6 months in prison, but commercial property is a different matter .

      Is a residential rental house considered commercial or residential property, in regards to squatters?

    Squatting in America is illegal, but if the cops won't keep booting them out, they you have to. If you hurt one of these sacred (to Leftists, anyway) loafers, then it is you who goes to jail (before the SHTF). Post SHTF, squatters will be shot.

    In America, one has to get a court order to evict squatters. Problem is that it takes weeks / months for this to make its way into a courtroom.

    I bring up this topic as an illustration of this squatters issue already occurring. Post-collapse, the issue will grow a thousand fold. Will be good for property-owners to have their flack jackets (better yet, Kevlar vests with trauma plates; even bullet-proof shields) and helmets ready. Got my helmets cheap -- "back when", one could afford them. Kevlar helmets are expensive. When driving-off squatters, one can just bet on getting return fire. Squatters, if armed, will likely have handguns and/or shotguns. Very few will have high-powered rifles. Armed squatters will be best removed using center-fire hunting rifles at distance. The property owner should not put their own lives at risk. After a few armed squatters are turned inside-out with deer rifle rounds, the other squatters will likely begin taking the situation seriously.

    "Biden is curiously serving two masters"

    https://highlandcountypress.com/Con...n-is-curiously-serving-two-masters/4/22/87605

    Quotations are in the color yellow-green:

    Here is something you won’t hear anywhere else. It is clear that Joe Biden is being ratted out in the classified document scandal, but by whom? Tucker Carlson is convinced it is a cabal of Democratic Party members who want a new presidential nominee for 2024. Tucker, I love ya, but I don’t think so. I believe foreign actors and their interests may be involved.

    Joe Biden has been in politics for 50 years. He’s never had a real job. The only core conviction he has is the self-aggrandizement that comes from being able to have people suck up to him due to the power and vast resources at his disposal. He’s dumber than a doorknob.

    Yet, with 50 years of experience, he is on automatic pilot when it comes to self-preservation. He simply does what he is told and reads his teleprompter without really knowing what he is reading. Thus, I don’t buy Tucker’s analysis because the “powers that be” controlling him already have a pretty good gig. Why would they want to dump him?

    The conspiring politicians are sewer rats. They are fiduciaries of your money, and they use their access to your money to grant favors to others so they will have the benefit of your money and in return they enrich themselves. The nation’s interests take second fiddle to their interests. Yet, the pernicious, indeed the treasonous element of all this is when they sell influence to foreign actors, bad people in charge of powerful governments that are hostile to the United States. It is sick. It is despicable. It is treasonous.

    Space is limited for me to list every Biden family “crime” of influence peddling, though Hunter Biden’s laptop is a wealth of information. The Biden family took money from Ukrainian and Russian oligarchs closely associated with their country’s governments. They orchestrated Defense Department money to fund bio-labs in Ukraine to enrich themselves, as they had financial ties to these entities.

    We know about Burisma, Bobulinski, SinoHawk and no interest forgivable loans. Ever hear of IRS imputed interest? And by the way, forgiveness of debt is taxable as ordinary income.

    Then there is Hunter’s 2013 trip on Air Force II with his dad where the Biden crime syndicate walked away with $1.5 billion of communist Chinese government funding into an “equity fund” that crack-head Hunter was to manage. I always look to invest my money with crack addicts, don’t you?

    Then there is CEFC Energy. There were huge fees paid by China to the Bidens to secure cobalt mining in the Congo Republic in order to manufacture Chinese electrical vehicles. Jim Biden secured a $1.5 billion contract to build 100,000 homes in Iraq. He's never driven a nail into a 2 by 4.

    The Penn-Biden Center, funded almost exclusively by the Chinese government and other “dark” money emanating from China, paid Joe a salary of $900,000 to basically do nothing. His cronies like Anthony Blinken got a “get paid” for doing nothing quasi-job too. By the way, he’s now the Secretary of State. Author Peter Schweizer has done excellent work thoroughly documenting Biden family corruption with hostile foreign governments, but as recent as these works are, they do not even scratch the service of what we now know as each day reveals explosive new stories.

    This past week I was deposed by California and New York lawyers because I publicly ratted out a lawyer who represented both sides in a multi-million-dollar business deal. The deal went south and he was a principal on the “buy side” of the transaction where his client was the seller.

    Per the Matthew scripture above, one can’t serve two masters. In this instance, as despicable as the lawyer’s actions were, only one individual was harmed. But when the President of the United States serves two masters, the harm is incalculable. Corrupt governments like Ukraine and China know exactly what they are doing when they buy political influence, aka bribe American politicians. They control the politician. The politician does their bidding instead of his nation’s because the politician can be so easily blackmailed.

    Why did President Biden withdraw one million barrels of oil out of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to “sell” to Sinopec, a Chinese firm with ties to Hunter Biden?

    More importantly, why are we giving $100 billion dollars to Ukraine? I understand that Putin is a bad guy, but Zelensky ain’t exactly Mother Teresa. Ukraine is as notoriously corrupt as Russia as illustrated in this recent news story of brazen thievery. Would the lives of ordinary Ukrainians (not the oligarchs) living in the breakaway republics of Donestsk and Luhansk (both with a majority of ethnic Russians) really be that much different under Russian control?

    To quote young Alice of Wonderland fame, this is getting “curiouser and curiouser.” We don’t know all the answers, but one thing is for absolutely sure, one can’t serve two masters.

    This guy knows business and has respect for his country. I'll be looking into this fellow.

    "‘National Identity Crisis’: Anti-Woke Businessman Vivek Ramaswamy Launches 2024 White House Campaign"

    https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/02/21/vivek-ramaswamy-launches-2024-presidential-campaign/

    "Anti-woke businessman Vivek Ramaswamy has formally launched his 2024 presidential campaign on Tuesday evening with a video laying out what he says is a “national identity crisis” facing the nation and the need for a revival of 'American exceptionalism.'

    “'We’re in the middle of a national identity crisis today,' Ramaswamy says in the video. 'Our nation is hungry for a cause, for purpose, for meaning. The things that used to fill that void like faith, patriotism, hard work, and family have disappeared. We now embrace one secular religion after another, from Covid-ism to climate-ism and gender ideology to satisfy our deeper need for identity. Yet we cannot even answer the question of what it means to be an American in the year 2023. Today, the woke left preys on that vacuum. They tell you that your race, your gender, and your sexual orientation govern who you are and what you can achieve in life. If you question that orthodoxy, they call you a bigot, a homophobe, a climate denier, a racist. There is no greater damnation in modern America than to be called a racist. This is psychological slavery and that’s created a new culture of fear in our country that has completely replaced our culture of free speech in America.'

    "Ramaswamy, who is just 37 years old, has had a remarkable business career in his early life where he ran several investment firms before later writing a bestselling book Woke, Inc.: Inside Corporate America’s Social Justice Scam that exposed leftist woke tendencies of major companies. Ramaswamy appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight on the Fox News Channel to roll out his bid along with the launch video."

    Old Gzr: Trump I never liked. Trump's family had money. He never had to earn his own fortune -- he inherited it. Trump even acts like some city-boy even unto this day. Trump's got too much baggage. He's not senile like biden, nevertheless one's energies are not what they were once you pass 70. You can be smarter and far more wise when old; however in America, the campaign trail is a marathon, a physical marathon. Biden's handlers kept him alive during the last election; plus, the media covered-up his frailties and the election fraud.

    I'm gonna be reading about this Ramaswamy.

    I don't buy into this kind of nonsense because it is a smokescreen.....

    "There is no greater damnation in modern America than to be called a racist.'


    DEI....Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion ....is government authorized sponsored, approved, sanctioned ....Racism.

    It is government who are the racists...now morphed into manufacturing racists for political and social gain....profit.


    It has nothing to do with Merit and Ability......thus meaning that often the lowest common denominator will take over...but will vote for certain political parties.

    This is a hijacking of our entire system by so called social engineers......seeking to maintain a political monopoly...on the public purse.

    This will only destroy Capitalism in the long run.

    DEI is a vote buying scheme....just like so much the government does....while on the surface looking/appearing as if they are addressing a social injustice.


    Tucker Carlson had it correct.....The Biden Administration cannot govern without some kind of crisis or emergency....to keep the public properly and politically herded...ie...divided.

    Here ...scroll to about 4 minutes into this Tucker Carlson video...

    Tucker Carlson: This is the cruelest thing any president has ever done - YouTube

    Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is another government herding scam....for political lucre.



    Be Warned these Ishmaelites.

    Seems today's Amerika is revisiting German trends 1939:

    https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ma...ecide-fate-of-lawmaker-over-abortion-comments

    "BOSTON – A Massachusetts Democrat official, facing calls to step down after complaining about the cost of special education for children with disabilities who are not aborted, will not be removed from his position.

    "The Framingham Democratic Committee voted down a motion Sunday that included discussing the removal of its chair, Michael Hugo, at its March meeting.

    "The vote came down 11 in favor, 16 against and one abstaining after more than an hour of discussion over Hugo’s remarks.

    "Earlier this month at a Framingham City Council meeting, Hugo said that misdiagnosis of defects in unborn babies may lead to more disabled children being born and becoming a financial strain on school systems. He apologized 10 days later in a statement following outrage from the local community."

    --------------------
    Old Gzr: Me, I think his fellow socialists were upset with him in that he was stating that which they believe. Gotta keep the masses hypnotized.

    The "Wild West" has been highly dramatized by fictional writers. It was not any more dangerous than current "Civilized" cities. The citizens were armed and criminals were punished. Just like today, the mass media always pushes the sensational and never the everyday events.
