The Democracy-Challenged

The Confederacy of coastal and globalist elites, networked with the deep state blob, the media, the federal courts, controlled-opposition Christians, and other useful idiots, is threatened by a turn to common sense normal that ignores their “expertise” and instead affirms America, Americans, and the law. Trump’s election, by a vast margin, exposed the Confederacy of coastal and globalist elites et al as Democracy-challenged.

Not to be outdone by the rancor of David Brooks promoting a hostile takeover of the country in the NYT (see previous post) because Brook’s “normal” doesn’t include Trump and MAGA voters, comes another columnist for The New York Times who has wet himself – his “normal” is being exorcised by Trump.

Thomas L. Friedman says “I Have Never Been More Afraid for My Country’s Future – GV Wire. He goes on to make ridiculous statements. I’ll address a few of these:

First Friedman: “. . .when [Trump] singles out coal miners for praise while he tries to zero out development of clean-tech jobs from his budget — in 2023, the U.S. wind energy industry employed approximately 130,000 workers, while the solar industry employed 280,000 — it suggests that Trump is trapped in a right-wing woke ideology that doesn’t recognize green manufacturing jobs as “real” jobs. How is that going to make us stronger?”

First Reply: Something that must have had Friedman shaking in his booties:

Biden admin quietly admits canceling Keystone XL Pipeline cost thousands of jobs, billions of dollars

The Biden administration published a congressionally mandated report highlighting the positive economic benefits the Keystone XL Pipeline would have had if President Biden didn’t revoke its federal permits.

The report, which the Department of Energy (DOE) completed in late December without any public announcement, says the Keystone XL project would have created between 16,149 and 59,000 jobs and would have had a positive economic impact of between $3.4-9.6 billion, citing various studies. A previous report from the federal government published in 2014 determined 3,900 direct jobs and 21,050 total jobs would be created during construction which was expected to take two years.

But immediately after taking office in January 2021, Biden canceled the pipeline’s permits, effectively shutting the project down. (Emphasis mine.)

How did being trapped in a left-wing “Green” ideology make us stronger, Thomas?

Friedman is worried about “Green” job cuts under Trump.  But, let’s look at recent history posted on the U.S. Ways and Means website:  Biden-Harris Record: Job Losses for Small Business While Adding More Government Bureaucrats.

Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee Jason Smith, 9/24: “A stumbling job market is a part of the price Americans are paying as the Federal Reserve tries to clean up the inflation crisis created by the Biden-Harris Administration’s runaway spending.” (Emphasis mine.)

“-Smallest Businesses Cut Jobs: Small businesses employing less than 10 people cut 43,100 jobs in the last year (Intuit Quickbooks Small Business Index)

“-More Part-Time Jobs: Since the start of the Biden-Harris Administration in January 2021, 1.7 million more Americans have had to take multiple jobs. In August alone, 264,000 more Americans took on part-time work for economic reasons. 

“-More Bureaucrats: Since the Biden-Harris Administration began, 30 percent of new jobs have come from hiring for government salaries. In August, government agencies added 24,000 to taxpayer-funded payrolls.

“-No “Manufacturing Boom”: In August, manufacturers cut another 24,000 jobs and the United States has shed 14,000 manufacturing jobs in the last year.”

Was Thomas L. Friedman never “more afraid for America’s future” then?

What about when transportation secretary Buttigieg had $7.5 billion at his disposal to install EV charging stations around the U.S. from the 2021 bipartisan infrastructure bill, but only managed to complete a few dozen projects. Where did money and jobs go?

Regarding Green energy and Coal: From the Institute For Energy Research:

President Trump has signed executive orders to boost the coal industry, which once was the backbone of the U.S. generating system. Despite coal’s ability to provide reliable baseload power, massive subsidies and state mandates have resulted in significant solar and wind power additions that are causing grid instability. To protect the grid and to help meet rising electricity demand from AI data centers, electric vehicles, and cryptocurrency, President Trump is using emergency powers to keep existing coal plants online. He is also reopening western lands to coal leasing, looking to name metallurgical coal as a critical mineral, and ordering the attorney general to investigate states that have implemented laws against fossil fuel use so that the federal government could waive those rules. (Emphasis mine.)

What should be obvious by now is that intermittent wind and solar power don’t meet the needs for baseload power – the minimum level of demand on an electrical grid over a span of time. Green energy options certainly will not meet the need for AI data centers. I favor clean nuclear power as do those behind the rise of AI.

Trump, by signing EOs to boost the coal industry, is keeping the lights on. He is working to grow industry, and preparing for the future job growth at home, not globally.

A week after boasting it had achieved 100% renewables energy power for the first time, Spain’s power grid suffered a crippling blackout, along with Portugal’s. Apparently, this was due to over-reliance on what are always fluctuating power sources vs. the base power that comes from fossil fuels, nuclear, or storage batteries. (Emphasis mine.)

Have You Built Your “Grid” Correctly? | ZeroHedge

Friedman is an open borders globalist and is well aware of coal pollution mitigation. He should criticize China (instead of pestering trump) for China’s enormous use of coal. The U.S. has 204 operational coal-powered plants that use coal pollution mitigation. China has 1,161 apparently without coal pollution mitigation.

Second Friedman: “This whole Trump II administration is a cruel farce. Trump ran for another term not because he had any clue how to transform America for the 21st century. He ran in order to stay out of jail and to get revenge on those who, with real evidence, had tried to hold him accountable to the law. I doubt he has ever spent five minutes studying the workforce of the future.”

Second Reply: This statement is beyond idiotic. It is demonstrably false and comes from a bitter bully.

Here, Freidman shows that he doesn’t have a clue about the historic economic boom of Trump’s first term.

Donald Trump achieved significant economic growth, creating nearly 4 million jobs and reducing the unemployment rate to its lowest in 50 years. He also implemented major tax reforms, including the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which provided substantial tax relief for middle-class families and businesses.

“Real evidence”? Another deep state media talking point that is an utter lie. The lawfare against Trump was all manufactured to keep him out of office. The lawsuits came about, then and now, because the deep state “normal” with its control of information and citizens was being affected, not for lawlessness.

After his first term, which was continually beset by attempts to render Trump and “Democracy!” ineffective, Trump, in his 70s, could have stayed home and enjoyed golf and avoided lawfare and two assassination attempts and all of the hassle.

Instead, like Cincinnatus, Trump returned from the feild to save the country from the managed decline “normal” that mealy-mouthed people like David Brooks and Thomas Freidman want to maintain.

Third Friedman: “By attacking our closest allies — Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea and the European Union — and our biggest rival, China, at the same time he makes clear he favors Russia over Ukraine and prefers climate-destroying energy industries over future-oriented ones, the planet be damned, Trump is triggering a serious loss of global confidence in America.”

Third Reply: Hyperbolic BS. “Attacking our closest allies”? A U.S. president should put the U.S. first, as do the nations mentioned above. The U.S., to advance America’s interests abroad, should not be a soft touch for anyone. The world is changing, away from globalist preening.

Trump favors peace not Ukraine or Russia. And, shouldn’t the U.S. pull Russia away from uniting with China? Shouldn’t we isolate China so the CCP falls under its own debt?

Perhaps Friedman is terrified because the U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is calling for a long overdue overall of the State Dept.:

Today America confronts a new era of great power competition and the rise of a multipolar order with a State Department that stifles creativity, lacks accountability, and occasionally veers into outright hostility to American interests. 

Have you heard about the corrupt USAID working against U.S. interests including free speech? Have you heard about the out-of-control Department is the Global Engagement Center (GEC) that [the Sec. of State] shuttered last week?

The office engaged with media outlets and platforms to censor speech it disagreed with, including that of the President of the United States, who its director in 2019 accused of employing “the same techniques of disinformation as the Russians.” Despite Congress voting to shutter it, the GEC simply renamed itself and continued operating as if nothing had changed.

There are internal and external forces at work to destroy America. Trump and his administration are working to overturn the losses and managed decline of America and America’s own confidence in itself so weakened by nihilist cultural Marxists and grandiose globalist elites who invite in all kinds multicultural crap.

Fourth Freidman: “While Trump is doing his “weave” — rambling about whatever strikes him at the moment as good policy — China is weaving long-term plans.”

Fourth Reply: Yeah, China is “weaving long-term plans.” It’s called world domination. Trump and his administration know this. That is why the changes at the Panama Canal and that’s why the tariffs – to stop China from taking advantage of us.

I listen regularly to the Zoom webinar series put on by the Committee on the Present Danger of China.

The mission of the Committee on the Present Danger: China is to help defend America through public education and advocacy against the full array of conventional and non-conventional dangers posed by the People’s Republic of China. As with the Soviet Union in the past, Communist China represents an existential and ideological threat to the United States and to the idea of freedom—one that requires a new American consensus regarding the policies and priorities required to defeat this threat. 

Americans would be more informed by listening to this series than by anything Thomas Freidman has to say.

Fifth Friedman: “But Trump’s constant bluster and his wild on-and-off imposition of tariffs are not a strategy — not when you are taking on China on the 10th anniversary of Made in China 2025. If Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent really believes what he foolishly said, that Beijing is just “playing with a pair of twos,” then somebody please let me know when it’s poker night at the White House, because I want to buy in. China has built an economic engine that gives it options.”

Fifth Reply: China has options because China has infiltrated the U.S. – its institutions, its land, its finances. China steals innovation from the U.S. and sends it home where it is replicated. Wall Street helps China steal America.

Instead of blustering in the former paper of record, Freidman should have listened to this webinar:

Trump’s America First Investment Policy vs. Wall Street’s China First One: Say ‘No’ to the CATL I.P.O.  

Last month, President Trump told his administration to implement an “America First Investment Policy” to stop Wall Street’s underwriting – and greatly intensifying – the threat we face from Communist China.

This month, four prominent U.S. investment banks are defying his executive action by ramping up their China First investment policy. J.P. Morgan, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are helping a Chinese military company called CATL raise $7 billion dollars or more from American investors.

They have so far failed to mention President Trump’s directive, let alone its potential negative impact on the value of this foreign adversary’s corporation and its securities.

Sixth Friedman: “The world is now seeing Trump’s America for exactly what it is becoming: a rogue state led by an impulsive strongman disconnected from the rule of law and other constitutional American principles and values.”

And, “[Trump] is undermining our sacred rule of law, he is tossing away our allies, he is undermining the value of the dollar and he is shredding any hope of national unity. He’s even got Canadians now boycotting Las Vegas because they don’t like to be told we will soon own them.

“So, you tell me who’s playing with a pair of twos.

“If Trump doesn’t stop his rogue behavior, he’s going to destroy all the things that made America strong, respected and prosperous.

“I have never been more afraid for America’s future in my life.”

Sixth reply: Who in the “world’ is seeing Trump as you do Thomas? The impulsive rogues of the Blob? The Deep State media? Moral elitists who write in The Atlantic? Globalists who want to continue the plunder of America? Federal district court judges disconnected from the rule of law?

Yeah, Trump is different than the money-laundering Joe Biden, who sold off and told off America, and the infinitely pliable Kamala Harris, so amenable to NYT’s “enlightenment.”

“Undermining the rule of law?” Freidman, it is the federal district judges who pretend to have executive authority over the president that are undermining the rule of law.

Article II of the Constitution says “The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.”

(Amy Coney Barrett – please stop being a soft-touch Catholic social justice warrior and professor at Notre Dame. You clerked for Justice Antonin Scalia! Get your head out of your you-know-what and Reread the Constitution! Get back to originalism!)

“Tossing away our allies”? C’mon. Our allies need to see a strong America and not a subset of One World Marxist handlers. And, what about tossing away $189 billion in military assets to the Taliban and leaving 13 Americans dead in Afghanistan? That is what Biden, Blinken, Milly, and Austin did. How do our allies see this? Should we return to that “normal” way of thinking, Thomas?

“Undermining the value of the dollar”?

Let’s start here. Biden’s Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen left the U.S. with $7 trillion in USTs due this year.

To service our national debt, our government must now offer Treasury Bills at a higher interest rate to attract buyers. The higher interest rate affects our entire economy from car payments to mortgages to credit cards. The mishandling of the U.S. economy by the elites our budgets are well aware of.

Here’s a coherent perspective on the dollar:

Some believe Donald Trump’s economic policies are designed to end the dollar’s role as the world’s reserve currency. Scott Bessent clears up such misinformation, affirming the dollar’s status as the reserve currency. In Trump’s Economic Revolution, we opined on the long-standing Bretton Woods Agreement that made the dollar the reserve currency and how Trump may be steering away from some of the “rules” that evolved since the agreement was signed in 1944.

The agreement and its unwritten rules are economically unsustainable. Trump is rightfully taking action to change them. However, that doesn’t mean he intends to change the dollar’s status as the reserve currency. As we summarized in the article mentioned above:

The dollar will likely remain the world’s reserve currency as no reasonable alternative exists. However, the unspoken agreements and promises surrounding the global economy may change drastically.

And another perspective: Bessent Says Recent Decline in the Dollar Is a Natural ‘Adjustment’

And, there’s this. DOGE is working:

US Treasury Unexpectedly Reports Sharp Drop In Debt Borrowing Needs, Rates Slide

“Shredding any hope of national unity”? You mean like when Joe Biden called half the nation “extremists”? Did you rah-rah that, Thomas?

“Canadians now boycotting Las Vegas”? Who cares. Fix the trade imbalance here, there and, everywhere. Bring manufacturing jobs home Apple.

There are so many Deep State media talking points echoed in in this article, so much blather, that I can’t address it all without making this post unbearably long.

It’s time for David Brooks and Thomas L. Freidman to put on big boy pants and stop whining like petulant little children who didn’t their Harris way the last election. Grow up!

Government of the elites, by the elites, for the elites. Hence, the urgent calls for civil war and Color Revolution. Hence the encouragement of dark woke and talk that nods and winks at people taking matters into their own hands!

Far-left Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker (D) is calling for mass demonstrations and mobilization with the intention to “punish” Republicans.

The coastal and globalist elites expected to continue the overthrow of the U.S. and the enslavement of U.S. citizens and illegal immigrants to their dictates and policies so that full-blown communism would take hold.

It is not surprising: Democrats Talk About Illegal Immigrants The Same Way They Used To Talk About Slaves:

We need immigrants in this country,” Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler said Thursday during a House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement hearing. “Our vegetables would rot in the ground if they weren’t being picked by many immigrants — many illegal immigrants.” 

[Jerry] Nadler’s remarks recall the Democratic party’s past reasoning for supporting slavery. Federalist Senior Editor Mark Hemingway pointed out that Democrats in 1823 were backing slavery because if there were no slaves, “Who would pick our cotton?” Today, Democrats are making the argument that low-wage working illegal migrants are necessary to pick “our vegetables.”

The Madness That Is The Green New Deal – Burning Coal To Clear The Air

GND Central Planning:

The Green New Deal and its accompanying legislation—the Inflation Reduction Act—have been based upon the belief that government agents can identify problems and impose solutions by directing resources through command-and-control. While their system gives a nod to prices and private ownership, at best, the organizational structure would resemble what came out of Italy and Germany in the 1930s, or Fascism. Profits and market prices don’t guide that system; indeed, the organizers of the GND and the IRA see profits and market prices as hindrances to their plans, for they represent the capitalist scourge of placing profits above people. . .

The Green New Deal has not failed because of a lack of political will or because government regulators were too good at their jobs. It failed because it is based upon a socialistic model of command-and-control akin to the former Soviet Union.

We See You David

Like a petulant willful child who didn’t get his way . . .

Columnist David Brooks of the NYT wrote an opinion column openly and explicitly called for a mass uprising alluding to a Communist revolution.

It’s time for a comprehensive national civic uprising. It’s time for Americans in universities, law, business, nonprofits and the scientific community, and civil servants and beyond to form one coordinated mass movement. Trump is about power. The only way he’s going to be stopped is if he’s confronted by some movement that possesses rival power.

So, David, to hell with democracy and all of the people who voted for Trump and for the lawful changes the Executive Branch is bringing about? Wasn’t it you – the Rachel Maddow-David French-Never Trump types – that told us over and over again that Trump would destroy democracy? But you and the Left are hoping to do that.

You and the Left wanted, by hook or by crook, Kamala Harris to be elected. She would be a sock puppet for the coastal and globalist elites to continue the plunder of our country and our democracy!

If you, the reader, are a partaker of Deep State media (MSNBC, CNN, NYT, WaPo, The Atlantic, etc.) you know the propagandists are roiled. Trump is called a “dictator”, “fascist”, “oligarch”, “Hitler”, “Nazi”, and “racist.”

Trump and his voters, you see, are beneath David and the elite ilk he panders to. His op-ed rallying cry is to unite the self-important – the true dictators, fascists, oligarchs, Hitlers, Nazis and racists of the elitist Left.

I’ve written often about how the Left seeks power above all else. The Left will grab power by any means necessary including stealing elections, creating hoaxes about political opponents and J6, and lawfare. David Brooks, in this NYT op-ed, is seeking to aggregate “rival power” to overthrow the current government (so as to return to the “normal” chaos and destruction the Left is known for, e.g., keeping MS-13 gang members in the U.S.)

It is quite revealing that this is the same power hungry and polarizing David Brooks who gave an interview titled How to Know a Person with David Brooks for the Progressive Trinity Forum (a site where Our Spiritual Betters of Never Trumper ilk gather).

The interview blurb reveals two-faced David:

“In a society where so many feel unseen and unknown, how do we become the kind of people who deeply see and know those around us? The conflict and division in our society demonstrate the need for people committed to pursuing human connection, even across lines of difference. What can we do – as individuals and in community – that will help us really understand the people in our lives?

“David Brooks, author of How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen, joined us to explore what it means to know others and to be known by them:

“When I ask people, tell me about a time you’ve been seen, they tell me with bright eyes and joy in their face, they tell me about time somebody totally got them. Because seeing someone, if I see potential in you, you’ll see potential in yourself. If I beam my attention on you, you’ll blossom. And so it’s just super powerful to feel seen. But it’s also powerful and fantastic to feel like you’re the seer.”

Well, we see you, David. You are David with Trump Derangement Syndrome, a condition that blinds you to all else except the need for power to get your way. You have not seen or known the people who voted for Trump, which is most of America. You live in a credentialed elite bubble. You know those therein, ergo the rallying cry to them and the deep state in the NYT.

Here’s David in the same op-ed not “seeing” Trump:

[Trumpism] is a multifront assault to make the earth a playground for ruthless men, so of course any institutions that might restrain power must be weakened or destroyed. Trumpism is about ego, appetite and acquisitiveness and is driven by a primal aversion to the higher elements of the human spirit — learning, compassion, scientific wonder, the pursuit of justice.

David wants us to know that he is on higher moral ground than Trump and the vast array of people who voted for Trump. David Our Better has an aversion to what he ‘sees’. So, what was decided on election night must be overturned by one coordinated mass movement.

Brook’s civil war-mongering column ends with a phrase originating from The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels: “We have nothing to lose but our chains.”

Is David worried that he will no longer be seen in the role of credentialed elite and as one of our betters telling us how to live and see and “blossom?”

Here, we really can see David and his worldview – antipathy to any rule but his own. He wants to overthrow the current government by any means necessary and conform America to his image using elitist chains.

We have witnessed the managed decline of our country the last four years -our country being despoiled by liberal elites whose vision of the world is them sitting atop it dictating to the little people and plundering them for more wealth and power.

We don’t need more alarmist rhetoric about “Democracy!” from the Left. We don’t need a revolution. We don’t need a Color revolution (Democrats Plan For Color Revolution) that is being pushed by the deep state media.

Like a petulant willful child who didn’t get his way, there is nothing of Christ in the words of David Brook. There is, markedly so, plenty of self-righteous contempt for those outside David’s “normal.”

Great Conversation!

Sea Change

Primordial disorder is the image presented at the opening of the creation account in Genesis. The earth, formless and empty (tohu wabohu), was completely covered by a deep (tehom) sea.

When God began to create the heavens and the earth, the earth was complete chaos, and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. – Genesis 1: 1-2

Earth’s oceanic outer layer undergoes a sea change when the Spirit of God’s hovers.

Psalm 104: 5-9 describes, in poetic form, the ordering of the watery chaos:

He set the earth on its foundations;
    it can never be moved.
You covered it with the watery depths as with a garment;
    the waters stood above the mountains.
But at your rebuke the waters fled,
    at the sound of your thunder they took to flight;
they flowed over the mountains,
    they went down into the valleys,
    to the place you assigned for them.
You set a boundary they cannot cross;
    never again will they cover the earth.

Reading on in Psalm 104 (v. 10-13) we find function. Channeled water provides the basic necessity for life on earth. Food growth follows.

Chaos Creatures Serve a Function

Once the chaotic waters of the primordial sea had been assigned functions, God, on the fifth day, created sea monsters, figures of menacing chaos (Gen. 1:21). Why bring order and then allow chaos creatures to exist? By God’s wisdom, we live in a world that has order, non-order, and disorder (See video below).

Mythical creatures from pagan myths, function in scripture as symbols of primordial chaos and opposition to God: sea-monsters, serpents, beasts, and dragons. Revelation presents them as fighting against God’s faithful witnesses who are working to restore order and bring God’s kingdom on earth.[i]

Sea Change Number Two

God created (gave functions to) the material cosmos over six days. Genesis 1 is a day-by-day account of establishing order from primordial disorder, establishing anthropic conditions and temple building. God pronounced each step in functional readiness “Good.” On the seventh day, he ‘rested’ in his temple to survey what had been done. The temple garden is a metaphor for the world.

Genesis 2. Mankind is placed in the temple garden and given instructions to maintain the good by God. But mankind goes off in a disordering direction. Evil and chaos ensues. God then acts to undo creation with the flood waters of chaos[ii] and to restore his “good” creation. Noah is the new caretaker.

Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence. God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. So, God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. . .

I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish. Genesis 6: 11-13, 17

Sea Change Recalled

One day, Jesus’ disciples wanted Jesus to notice the temple buildings. Jesus then foretold the destruction of the temple. The perplexed and anxious disciples asked “Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”

Jesus goes on to speak of the signs of the end of the age. He then speaks about the necessity of watchfulness for, he tells them, no one knows the day or hour when end things will come to pass. To underscore this, he references a familiar story that involved a cataclysmic event that caught many unprepared.

 For as the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark, and they knew nothing until the flood came and swept them all away, so, too, will be the coming of the Son of Man. – Matthew 24:36-39

History Lesson About the Moral Universe

The apostle Peter, in his second letter, tells his readers that there are scoffers who are saying that things on this earth have always continued the way they are now. He reminds them that this is not true. The earth was different when it was created and it was different again after the flood. He warns them that no one should scoff that God will make it different once again, judging the godless not with water but with fire. (2 Peter 3)

Jesus’ second coming will be a sea change for all of creation. Chaos will be removed.

It is Time for a Sea Change

Peter warned his readers, with reference to the Great Flood, about what can be expected if they continue as they are. John the Seer, alluding to the Great Flood in Revelation, writes that it is time (in his prophetic timeline) “for destroying those who destroy the earth.” – Revelation 11:18

“The ‘destroyers of the earth’ are the powers of evil: the dragon, the beast, and the harlot of Babylon (who in [Rev.] 19:2 is said to have ‘corrupted – or destroyed – the earth with her fornication’). With their violence, oppression, and idolatrous religion they are ruining God’s creation. His faithfulness to his creation requires that he destroy them in order to preserve and deliver it from evil. . .  This he did in the flood, which was a divine judgement aimed at delivering God’s creation from the ruinous violence of its inhabitants.”[iii]

John the Seer wrote Revelation in the context of the tyranny of the Roman Empire, the imperial cult, and a permissive and polytheistic culture. The apostle Paul, in the same setting, writes to a church with a more detailed description of the ruinous inhabitants of the earth and their similar fate:

Do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! The sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, men who engage in illicit sex, thieves, the greedy, drunkards, revilers, swindlers—none of these will inherit the kingdom of God.  -1 Corinthians 6:9-10

I imagine that the proud, the perverse, the purposefully vague, the self-serving, and those who want to create a new humanity with demonic forces[iv] – any who plunder the created order for power, wealth and self-righteous ends will be met with divine judgement. Some will receive punishment that matches their sin (Rev. 16:8; 18:6; Rev. 22:18-19).

John the Seer prophesied about an end time involving a series of warning judgements to bring about repentance and the ultimate restoring of creation’s order from mankind’s reversion of it to chaos.

Final Sea Change

Scripture begins by telling an old story and ends by retelling the old story with a new and final outcome. Both narratives involve chaos and creation. The lynchpin of the two theological narratives – Genesis 1-11 and Revelation – and of history itself is the earthly, risen, and returning Jesus.

A final sea change occurs to restore creation. John the Seer writes:

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no moreRev. 21:1

Creation is not destroyed, just as it wasn’t with the Great Flood. Rather, creation’s corrupting influence is removed. Think in terms of no longer being overcome by evil but the overcoming of evil with good. Think in terms of “if anyone is in the Messiah, there is new creation! Old things have gone, and look – everything has become new!” (2 Cor. 5:17)

“The waters of the primeval abyss, that represent the source of destructive evil, the possibility of the reversion of creation to chaos, are finally no more.”[v]

~~~~~

Lent is a time for a sea change. It’s a time to remove chaos from your life.

This Lent appears to be the first time that corruption, misuse of funds, money laundering, excess, and disorder in the government are being shown the detox door. Hence, the weeping and gnashing of teeth in the MSM. Hence, destroyers of the earth want the chaos to continue as before.

A leviathan in Washington recently surfaced. What emerged was corrupt and destabilizing influence involving actors in the State Department, the Department of Defense, the “deep state”, the unaccountable administrative state, the unchecked CIA meddling in foreign affairs and a politically motivated FBI meddling in internal affairs, activist DOJ and federal judges, shady non-profits, and the propaganda of the MSM to maintain cover for the chaos.

Maelstroms are sucking us in: a proxy war with Russia, Middle East conflicts, a huge federal deficit, out of control spending by Congress, the Green New Deal wealth redistribution scam, and what to do with the over 12 million illegal economic migrants bringing with them neediness, disease and crime.

In the first 50 days of the Trump administration, ICE reported arresting over 14,000 convicted criminals, 9,800 migrants with pending criminal charges, 1,155 suspected gang members, and 44 foreign fugitives.

An additional 8,718 arrests were categorized as “immigration violators.”

ICE has arrested 32,000 violent criminals in Trump’s first 50 days.

And there’s a new beast on the horizon – AI.

AI is being touted as a new pathway to greater productivity (Why do we need that? For greater profits? To be unburdened by what has been?). It is said that disruptive AI will transform the workplace, replace jobs, shake up economies and reshape global alliances. Our world, with Promethean AI, will look different by 2030. AI will look at us differently, too.

Dr. John Walton, Job, Lecture 25, The world in the Book of Job: Order, non-order and disorder


[i] The creation of the “sporty” Leviathan (Ps. 104:26), a creature that cannot be tamed, shows us God’s mastery over powerful creatures. Leviathan was used metaphorically to instruct Job (Job 41). Job (a behemoth-like creature) cannot tame God to his ideas of how the world works.

[ii] Consider that several ancient Near East accounts of a devastating flood were understood as a god using force to restore order in the world. See Genesis 6-9 for the theological interpretation of the mythic flood.

The writer of the Genesis Flood account, using hyperbole, wanted to impress upon the reader the theological implications of a universal “cataclysmic event” that occurred to restore creation. There was no global deluge, as science has determined and Ps 104: 9 indirectly states. No matter. The author wanted the reader to understand the theological significance of God’s act.

Protect our food supply from the Cure worse Than the Problem

Action Over Talk: Join the Nationwide Protest Against Food Supply mRNA!

This Friday, Americans across the country are coming together to take a stand. Concern is growing as Secretary Rollins moves closer to approving mRNA vaccines for the beef, dairy, and poultry industry to combat diseases like Avian Flu. Many are voicing their opposition, demanding that these vaccines not be used in our food supply.

 Make Your Voice Heard! Flood Secretary Rollins’ email with your concerns:

AgSec@usda.gov

Contact Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins of whitehouse

Here is a structured email template for Secretary @BrookeLRollins:

Subject: Immediate Halt to Meat Supply Vaccination

Dear Secretary Rollins,

As Americans who supported the election of Donald J. Trump, we are deeply concerned about your plan to introduce vaccines into our nation’s meat supply, including pork, cattle, poultry, and even seafood.

We do not merely request a pause—we demand a complete and permanent stop to this effort. The American people will not accept government-mandated intervention in our food supply, especially without full transparency and consent.

If the USDA continues to push forward with testing and implementation of the H5N1 vaccine, we are prepared to take action. Our voices will not be ignored, and we will make it clear to President Trump that millions of Americans oppose this overreach.

We stand firm in our right to protect our food, our health, and our families. This is non-negotiable.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
[Your State]

With the news that mRNA vaccinated beef, dairy, eggs, and poultry are already in the food supply, some are demanding to know where our Secretary of Health is. You’ll be pleased to know he’s practicing self-care with long walks in the mountains, while currently reposting advice from the CDC.

Evil’s Last Grasp

“Dog Bites Man.” Not news. Madness – “Man Bites Dog” – is a headline! And so is nauseating “ultra-violence” (a term used in the disturbing A Clockwork Orange, Stanley Kubrick’s film version of Anthony Burgesses’ book).  To wit, a small sample of recent “ultra-violence” revelations in the headlines:

Cops identify NJ woman as mystery straphanger torched to death in horrific NYC subway attack

A homeless woman in the NYC subway was set on fire by an illegal immigrant who fanned the flames and then calmly watched her burn to death from a bench on the platform.

And, A mob attack at Edina Southdale YMCA leaves teen with brain injury

And, Metro-North rider stabbed in chest after complaining about loud music on passenger’s phone

And, NYC postal worker stabbed to death over food.

And, Transgender Teen Charged with Plotting Valentine’s Day School Massacre.

And, with taxpayer money, USAID funded Boko Haram slaughter of Christians in Nigeria – LeoHohmann.com

And, 70 Christians beheaded in church by Muslims.

To keep “ultra-violence” going Biden admin released 11 Yemeni detainees with suspected al Qaeda ties from Guantanamo Bay — including two alleged former bin Laden bodyguards

And, 158 DEMOCRATS VOTED AGAINST DEPORTING SEX OFFENDERS

Day after day headlines reveal man-made horrors beyond our comprehension and of absurdities that become received wisdom. Two more recent headlines:

Warrant executed for ‘child pornography’ at Texas Modern Art Museum’s LGBTQ exhibit… – Revolver News

Fauci approved $240 million for sexual mutilation (transgender) experiments on animals.

Shocking and bizarre evil permeates the moral order of the universe. And it is not ideological ordinariness, as seen by Hannah Arendt in her Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil:

Perhaps our age does not like the idea of evil or does not know what to make of it. And yet if there is one thing that we ought to be able to do, it is to identify true evil—the profundity of evil—when we see it. In our own day, it is put on display for all to see by death-cults like Hamas.“The profundity of evil,” by Douglas Murray

‘Pure Evil’: Hamas Hands Over Remains of Dead Israeli Mother, Toddler & Infant

Hamas holds public celebration to hand over murdered babies in coffins.

Along with the use of extreme force to hurt or kill people, evil in the form of disorder, lies, chaos, corruption, grift, and utter perversion is in the news.

Here in America, the Progressive Blue Beast, allied with the primeval source of all opposition to God, refuses to give up its hold on its imperial capital. With the aid of the imperial cult propaganda machine – the main stream media – it whines, panders for sympathy and looks for ways to claw back power to continue its rule of tyranny.

It wasn’t long ago when the same propaganda machine told us to “trust (worship) the science.” We were told to pay homage to the idol the Blue Beast had created with masking, social distancing, and vaxxing the COVID mRNA spike protein vaccine into our bloodstream.

(Did you know? Yale Scientists Confirm Covid ‘Vaccines’ Cause VAIDS – Slay News  VAIDS = vaccine-acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. One has to wonder if the COVID vax was used for population control. Was it used to keep the population weak, sick, and controlled? To create complete dependency on Big Pharma’s “science?”)

Remember, the Blue Beast told us to believe in the Russian collusion hoax and in many other lies that came from its mouth.

The last four years of the Biden regime and the eight years of Obama have given us a eye-opening look at the direction and speed with which evil can overtake aspects of our lives. The evil processes of the Blue Beast from those days have become so entrenched that activist federal judges are blocking the eradication of it from government. (Be aware that programs like discriminatory DEI, like all of evil’s deceptive programs, is the moral opposite of (social) justice. See Solzhenitsyn quote below.)

The Blue Beast worships power and itself and tolerates no rivals. Evil in all of it various forms (serpent, dragon, and human) and devices, and throughout time, worships power and itself. Evil tolerates no rivals, and certainly not the Risen and Conquering Christ that the prophecy of Revelation testifies about.

~~~

First century Christians, without newspapers and headlines, saw and heard about violence, oppression, and idolatries in the Roman Empire. Their world, like ours and Job’s, seemed arbitrarily mean, capricious and unfair.

These early Christians knew the enemies of God in terms of satanic forces invested in polytheism, the Roman empire’s tyranny, the imperial cult propaganda and the pressure to submit to it. And, there were those preaching another gospel other than the one they received from the apostles. The power of evil was all around them and they were looking for a divine rescue.

They were also likely aware of gospel accounts of Jesus exorcizing unclean spirits and plundering the strong man’s house (Mk 3:27). For them, awaiting Christ’s imminent return, these accounts prefigured a final victory over evil and the final realization of the kingdom of God on earth. Into that context at the end of the first century, seven struggling churches in a Roman province in Asia received a wake-up call, the letter of Revelation.

The letter begins by addressing issues in each church through a prophetic word. There’s critique of a church’s waywardness, its false teaching, its lethargy and compromises. And there are warnings to get each church on track to be victorious. The letter effectively summons each church to get involved in the divine war against evil and to conquer, conquer, conquer, conquer, conquer, conquer, conquer (Rev. 2:7; 2:11; 2:17; 2:28; 3:5; 3:12; 3:21).

How they are to conquer and what victory means is described in the rest of the letter. (Hint: conquering in Revelation has nothing to do with how the world conquers. And victory? There’s a promise that comes at the end of the letter referring to what was promised at the beginning of the letter to each church that conquers (Rev. 21:7).

You will want to read the whole of Revelation in one sitting to find out about Evil’s Last Grasp (cf. Gen. 3:15) and whether the three petitions of the Lord’s prayer are fulfilled. Is God’s name hallowed? Does his Kingdom come? Is God’s will done on earth as it is in heaven?

What would be the Final Headline and will you be one of those who were victorious over the beast? (Rev. 15:2)

The evil that State media doesn’t report: Democrats illegally allowed into our country over 12,000,000 unvetted (and unvaccinated) aliens. The migrants were brought in for Democrat’s purposes: to consolidate Democrat power with votes and to support Democrat’s billionaire benefactors with low-cost workers. The illegals are to become serfs serving their welfare state lords.

The open borders madness was aided by Progressives in pulpits and by USAID-funded NGOs who participated and became rich (nonprofit Catholic Relief Services received $4.6 billion, cf. Rev. 3:14–22 ) helping the ‘poor little foreigner’ based on some misconstrued scripture.

It is certainly costs nothing to be ‘magnanimous’ and free with other people’s taxed money, property, freedom, safety, and our vulnerable children when sitting in your safe neighborhood virtue signaling the ‘goodness’ of open borders and ‘helping’ the ‘poor little foreigner’ in a social media text or a sermon.

You will hear from the creepy SJ James Martin on ‘X’ that “Caring for migrants and refugees Is not optional.” This kind of debauched out-of-context and Christian-sounding mumbo-jumbo for the ‘other’, directed toward the gullible – SJWs, suburban women, soy boys, and the like – is used by Martin to justify open borders, not just of our country but also for all kinds of sexual perversion in the church. Have you heard of the Lavender Mafia?

 Myopic, naïve, unwise, illegal, and compromised ‘compassion’ does more harm than good. Self-righteous compassion under the guise of “social justice” has become more important than the greater good.

Of course, if you speak out against open borders you are called “mean”, “racist”, a “xenophobe”, “unscriptural’, and more.

Apparently, ‘compassionately’ aiding and abetting foreigners in breaking U.S. law and thereby importing violence, narco-terrorism, fentanyl deaths, criminal gangs, drugs, felons, pedos, all kinds of disease, and economic migrants who flee their own country for a better ‘opportunity’ is OK as long as you help the “vulnerable” plunder and gut America and disregard the fact that our neighbors are made vulnerable to the above and to the chaos, disorder, disease, and cost that open borders causes.

Democrats have “invited every microbe on the planet onto our soil. And, now we are facing the consequences.”

“To do evil a human being must first of all believe that what he’s doing is good, or else that it’s a well-considered act in conformity with natural law. Fortunately, it is in the nature of the human being to seek a justification for his actions…

Tyranny Priced In?

You likely don’t gauge your economic future with economic charts, indicators, and theories. You don’t watch CNBC or Fox Business programs. You sit down at the kitchen table, go over the monthly bills, and see reality – there are forces at work driving prices up. So, when you heard Kamala Harris talk about “price controls” what did you think?

If on the Left and a Progressive, you might agree with the fiery rhetoric of politicians Kamala Harris, AOC, Liz Warren, et al. pronouncing corporations and grocers as “price gouging greedy bastards” and that they need to be controlled. You would be OK with government intervention.

If on the Right and a conservative, then you would balk at “price controls” talk. You want the government to be hands off knowing that when government gets involved a great imbalance is thrown into the market. You understand that politicians do not know how to solve inflation. They just create more problems with their fixes’, including price fixing and price freezing.

Sometimes it seems as if there are more solutions than problems. On closer scrutiny, it turns out that many of today’s problems are a result of yesterday’s solutions. – Thomas Sowell

It’s bad enough (terrible, really) that the U.S. Treasury and the Fed mess with the economy, making the rich richer, the rest of us poorer, and throwing our future up in the air with their ‘adjustments’.

Remember the 2007-2008 financial crisis. The Fed created the real estate bubble. By lowering interest rates to record lows it drove a huge increase in home prices as many jumped on board the balloon ride.

The home lending market “financialized” high-risk subprime mortgages to low-income homebuyers. Wall Street firms became heavily involved in collateral debt obligations (CDOs) and mortgage-backed securities (MBSs).

The housing boom in the early to mid-2000s became extremely unstable as interest rates increased on ARMs and housing prices began to fall. Many subprime borrowers began to default on their payments. As a result, financial institutions worldwide suffered severe damage. There was an international banking crisis. On September 15, 2008 the Wall Street brokerage firm Lehman Brothers sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

The subprime mortgage crisis devastated financial markets and contributed to the biggest economic downturn since the Great Depression. Read or see The Big Short for a sense of that economic disaster.

It’s not just the economic czars of the U.S. Treasury and Fed that screw things up. Congress not long ago passed spending bills with the Orwellian names “Cares Act” and “Inflation Reduction Act.” Both Acts have added to a massive deficit that is financed by the Fed’s creation of new money which increases the money supply and ergo inflation, the “price gouging” culprit that “price controls” would only exacerbate because nothing happens in isolation.

We don’t have inflation because the people are living too well. We have inflation because the government is living too well. -Ronald Reagan, during the 1980 presidential debate with Jimmy Carter.

Talk of “price controls” is nothing more than government avoiding accountability for its lack of spending control and its disruptive fiscal policies. And when you don’t understand that the seemingly complex and multitudinous causes of inflation boil down to too much money chasing too few goods and you are insulated from consequences, you continue the “price controls” rhetoric. You go on picking winners and losers.

Even if the government spends itself into bankruptcy and the economy still does not recover, Keynesians can always say that it would have worked if only the government had spent more. – Thomas Sowell

I raise the “price controls” issue as a way to raise awareness as to how our lives, our monthly bills, are influenced by outside forces and to address an ominous scenario on the horizon: a dictated, regimented, and authoritarian economy is in the works to “price control” us into place.

Wherever you are on the spectrum of “price controls” – hearing what you want to hear or hearing alarm bells – be aware that The Great Reset’s Globalist policies are a monolithic version of Kamala’s “price controls.” They encompass not just how businesses do business (who to employ, for how much, social and environmental impact, etc.) but what is to be valued – by everyone.

Simply put, our ‘betters’ will determine who does what and why. They will “price control” our lives with their values. That Kamala mentioned “price controls” shows that she was signaling Big Brother intimidation – pressure on specific industries against specific price increases. This same bullying will be exponentially greater under The Great Reset globalist ‘economy’.

Under The Great Reset, we will be made to swallow an alphabet soup of “price control” values and the institutions producing them, including DEI, CRT, ESG, LGBTQ by the UN, WEF, and WHO.

We will be told to value safetyism and therefore to prioritize world health at all costs to our individual liberty, national sovereignty, common sense, and actual science. We will be made to value One Health.

Who can forget the COVID madness? Lockdowns, closed schools and churches, forced vaccines, families separated, businesses destroyed. All the COVID mandates were price controls. Government mandated value.

The World Health Organization is scrambling to push a “Pandemic Agreement (Treaty)” – a global health control agenda that will override U.S. sovereignty. The WHO wants unprecedented power to declare “health emergencies” whenever they choose. And that could mean forced vaccines, lockdowns, and sweeping mandates—all justified under the guise of a so-called “emergency” of whatever nature.

The WHO Pandemic Treaty would give these Global Elites the power to:

-Globally authorize untested vaccines and pandemic products, pressuring governments to purchase and enforce their use on you, your family, and your friends.

-Dictate when and where you can travel, what you can eat, whether you can gather for worship, and even what you’re allowed to say online.

-Strip away your country’s ability to decide how to respond to future health crises, putting these decisions into the hands of WHO bureaucrats who do not represent you.

Again, if you are on the Left, recent history shows that you were OK with Big Brother forcing people to wear masks, social distance, and be vaccinated. And, if people didn’t obey, you were OK with people losing their jobs, businesses being fined and shuttered, and the COVID-positive being sent off to quarantine camps.

People were to be isolated, given only food and some cleaning supplies. They would be banned from participating in any religious services. The plan included contingencies for preventing suicide. There were no provisions made for any legal appeals or even the right to legal counsel.

If you are on the Left, you believe in forced degrowth because of a “climate crisis.” You follow “the science” wherever it goes. You believe in censorship, and everything else that “price controls” people. A Karen on the Left ‘price controlled’ the life of Peanut the squirrel.

If you are on the Left, you are OK with the Globalist agenda of the UN, WEF, and the WHO. You are OK with tyranny being priced in to all you do.

If you are not on the Left and are an independent critical thinker and have expanded your personal bandwidth to include history, you are aware that there are those who, in the bubble of their superior intellectual, moral and humanitarian enlightenment, see themselves in a superior position to make choices for you and me. If they can elevate choices to an existential level (pandemic, climate, etc.) then they believe they have a right to do so. Tyranny will be priced in.

Will the Fed convert the U.S. Dollar to Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)? If so, it would be only a matter of time before CBDCs are linked to a global database controlled by the UN, IMF, the WHO, or God forbid, the WEF.

I write this to warn Christians about what is ahead. Stop looking for Signs of the End Times in the Mideast. Forget the “Rapture” and “Left Behind” fantasies. Get prepared for the onslaught of “price controls.” Christians will be put under immense pressure to conform to the imposed values. Know what you will do when that happens. And get prepared for the Lord’s return. “Stay alert. You have no idea when the Lord might arrive. (Matt. 25: 1-13)

Prices are important not because money is considered paramount but because prices are a fast and effective conveyor of information through a vast society in which fragmented knowledge must be coordinated. – Thomas Sowell

If politicians stopped meddling with things they don’t understand, there would be a more drastic reduction in the size of government than anyone in either party advocates. – Thomas Sowell

No government of the left has done as much for the poor as capitalism has. Even when it comes to the redistribution of income, the left talks the talk but the free market walks the walk. What do the poor most need? They need to stop being poor. And how can that be done, on a mass scale, except by an economy that creates vastly more wealth? Yet the political left has long had a remarkable lack of interest in how wealth is created. As far as they are concerned, wealth exists somehow and the only interesting question is how to redistribute it. – Thomas Sowell

The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work in order to survive. – Thomas Sowell

It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong. – Thomas Sowell

American Citizenship and Its Decline: The Global Elite

On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Jeremiah and Juan discuss how much the COVID Pandemic changed their understanding of government overreach before introducing Dr. Victor Davis Hanson.

Citizenship is rare in human history but essential to free government. Today, the constitutional rule of citizens in America is threatened by a new form of government, unaccountable to the people, in which power is held by a ruling class that seeks to transform our society. In this eight-lecture course, students will examine the origins and history of citizenship in the West and the grave challenges American citizenship faces today.

There is a growing movement to surrender American sovereignty to international bodies. This effort—championed by a global elite—excludes the participation of the American people and threatens our national security.

O When the “Garbage” Goes Marching In

O When the “Garbage” goes marching in . . . to be unburdened by what has been.

Well said!

When discussing “Tocqueville’s limitations” and “the shortcomings of Democracy in America today” during The New Criterions’ “Democracy in America” symposium, Glen Ellmers writes

The essential problem is that Tocqueville misunderstood America’s political principles and therefore, at some level, didn’t really understand the modern world. He thought that the very real problem of centralized administration would arise from a popular demand for conformity. But it is not the American people (who even today cherish individual freedom and admire success) who have demanded a regime of egalitarian social engineering. Rather, it is the ruling class, alienated from almost all of America’s great traditions, that has rejected the political equality of the Declaration of Independence (a document Tocqueville never really appreciated). This managerial elite appeals to an entirely different set of assumptions about the power of rational methodology to govern society, including, of course, assumptions about its own privileged position. (Emphasis mine.)

The lecturing managerial elites include a gallery of “Christian” social engineers: Never Trumpers of The After Party, the Trinity Forum and of podcasts, church seminars and Evangelicals for Harris.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. – C.S.

Following suit, I wrote to both Indiana Senators this morning, saying . . .

Senator,

What the hell is going on in the US Senate? Hours after Donald Trump wins the most conclusive mandate in 40 years, Mitch McConnell engineers a coup against his agenda by calling early leadership elections in the senate. Two of the three candidates hate Trump and what he ran on. One of them, John Cornyn, is an angry liberal whose politics are indistinguishable from Liz Cheney’s.

McConnell does not want the new administration to succeed. He wants to maintain control through his crony friends. If you care about America then DO NOT align yourself with either of McConnell’s two choices.

Rick Scott of Florida is the only candidate who agrees with Donald Trump. Endorse Rick Scott and not the others. Don’t let McConnell get away with more resistance to America First for the sake of McConnell first.

Turn the Page on The Kamalians

Turn the Page on The Kamalians, the horror anthology involving predator alien species on earth. Haven’t we had enough of these elite power-seeking hunters stalking us? Haven’t we had enough of their media cloaking devices and social-imaging technology?

The formidable Kamalians are cruel and brutal in their quest. For their trophies, they primarily target the vulnerable little guy – low and middle-class individuals such as the working-class male. Their target’s collateral damage has included the cities of Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, and Minneapolis.

The Kamalians are capable of both mercy and reason but have not shown either during the course of their stalking us. Their weapons include auto-targeting name calling, lecturing whips, and netguns of injustice. You know they are nearby when you hear their annoying tongue clicking and loud cackling

Sadly, Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenegger), who at one time battled the vicious Kamalians, has joined the Kamalians (Brain damage?).

Reliable word on the street has it that the horror anthology is about to come to an end. Wall Street knows who will win the election. Trillions of dollars are moving into one corner of the market – energy. Smart money is preparing for a Trump landslide and Republicans taking the house. The looming predatory threat portrayed by The Kamalians is about to be put in check by a new Dutch and a new anthology. (Don’t take this news for granted! Go vote early! The Kamalians play smashmouth, they are not bound by strict codes of honor.)

The New York Times runs through several scenarios to “neutralize” the so-called Trump threat, finally landing on their fifth and most desperate option—which just so happens to be the one we’re likely facing right now. This last-ditch scenario should scare the living daylights out of any sane American. This is the “color revolution” or “civil war” option. (Emphasis mine.)

American Citizenship and Its Decline: The Unelected Deep State

On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Jeremiah and Juan discuss the rapid growth of the federal government introducing Victor Davis Hanson.

Citizenship is rare in human history but essential to free government. Today, the constitutional rule of citizens in America is threatened by a new form of government, unaccountable to the people, in which power is held by a ruling class that seeks to transform our society. In this eight-lecture course, students will examine the origins and history of citizenship in the West and the grave challenges American citizenship faces today.

The growth of an administrative deep state in America places massive government power outside the control of American citizens. These unaccountable agencies determine the rules that govern society, execute those rules, and settle disputes, and they wield these combined powers to undermine the constitutional operations of American government.

Character counts: The Character of the Kamala Party

Low and middle-class individuals who espouse the end of being lectured to, the end of high inflation, the end of the forced anti-God anti-reality secularization of the country, and the end of the administrative state are being called “fascists”, “nazis”, “chumps”, “deplorables”, irredeemables”, “dregs”, “clingers”, “white supremacists” by Democrat elitists who are so used to talking down to people they think beneath them.

And now we are called “garbage.”

President Biden raged against “Kill Tony” podcast host Tony Hinchcliffe’s joke about Puerto Rico being a “floating island of garbage” and suggested that was a good description for supporters of former President Donald Trump. 

“Donald Trump has no character. He doesn’t give a damn about the Latino community,” Biden said during a campaign call at the White House Tuesday first reported by NBC. “Just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage.”

“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s unAmerican.”

Biden appears to call Trump supporters ‘garbage’ in rebuke of Madison Square Garden rally — as WH insists he didn’t

Biden’s remark, as it was understood by many on the right, mirrored Clinton’s infamous 2016 denunciation of Trump supporters as a “basket of deplorables,” a comment that Clinton later said she regretted and helped energize Trump’s base in the weeks before that election.

Economic Reality:

This is Harris-Raising!!

For the past year State media apparatchiks have set up the public for the overthrow of democracy with its “Threat to democracy” psyop narrative.

Providing the State media narrative is the Blob: Democrat actors in the State Department, the Department of Defense, the “deep state”, the administrative state, the bureaucracy. These unaccountable rulers unto themselves want to solidify their North Korean version of a “Democratic Republic” and will use any means necessary including tools of oppression.

My previous post, One Day, These Boots . . ., detailed the Blob’s boots of suppression and oppression.

Now, Blob Democrats will deploy actual boots against citizens!

The issuance of Directive 5240.01 “allows for direct military involvement in civilian law enforcement operations under emergency conditions, including situations where there is an imminent threat.” 

“Given the current administration’s utter disdain for anyone who supports President Trump, would anyone doubt, especially considering the zeal with which they have pursued January 6 protesters, anti-abortion advocates, and groups such as Moms for Liberty, that they wouldn’t use the military against those same folks?”

Is the “Save Democracy” party planning a coup with boots on the ground?

Blob Democrats have tried, by any means necessary, to suppress the voice of Donald J. Trump who represents the voice of those the Blob elites detest and Democrats take for granted. They will do so again and again and again.

And when Trump wins the election, they will use their previous psyop set up: calling what happened on J6 an “insurrection” (Note: no one charged has been charged with insurrection.) Democrats will claim that Trump is an “insurrectionist” to keep him out of the White House.

There is a plan: a Democrat majority in the house together with effete Never Trump Republicans will not certify the election. Some Democrats won’t commit to certifying a Trump victory (axios.com)

Beside the military boots on the ground, the Blob plan includes another “election security force” to make it look like they care about Democracy. But it’s really to ensure that there’s just enough overthrow of the government so they can have total power.

The 2025 Counting and Certification of Electoral Votes in Washington, DC on Jan. 6, 2025, has been designated a National Special Security Event by the Secretary of Homeland Security.

This marks the first time a National Special Security Event designation has been granted for a Certification of Electoral Votes and follows a request made by the DC Mayor to designate this event a National Special Security Event. Various reports including from the House Select January 6 Committee and the Government Accountability Office also called for the DHS Secretary to consider a National Special Security Event designation for future Certification of Electoral Votes.

“The U.S. Secret Service, in collaboration with our federal, state, and local partners are committed to developing and implementing a comprehensive and integrated security plan to ensure the safety and security of this event and its participants.”

The election is finally shaping up to be not only liberal Democrat Kamala Harris versus conservative Republican Donald Trump.

Instead, it has become a larger contest between those who talk down to their fellow Americans and those who are increasingly sick and tired of being lectured. How smart is it, for example, for Harris supporters to claim nonstop that ex-president Trump is a fascist dictator — and thus, by extension, those also who vote for him? (Emphasis mine.)

Professor Hotez called on the U.S. government and G20 nations to take steps to “snuff out” the American anti-vaccine movement, which he said may have “sufficient strength and momentum to affect vaccine coverage globally,” while reluctantly noting that vaccine hesitancy was linked to smart people with “high educational attainment and socioeconomic status.

One of these days, These Boots . . .

Unless you’re a Swiftie for Kamala or an Evangelical for Harris or another kind of Never Trump groupie, someone with a head on their shoulders (and not where the light of reality can’t poke through) can imagine the future under Harris-Walz. O’Brien, the grand inquisitor of the totalitarian regime in Orwell’s novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, provides the image:

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – for ever.”

You squeal “totalitarian regime!” “That’s why we are not voting for Trump. He will destroy democracy! Christian nationalists will make America about God again! Harris-Walz will save Democracy and keep those pesky Christians out of politics!”

(Maybe you’ve just come from Two Minutes Hate on MSNBC where they loudly voice their hatred for their enemy and their love for super-state candidates. (And yes, another reference to Nineteen Eighty-Four, since wisdom and reason don’t connect at all with the aforementioned. The frenzy of spewing existential anguish and personal hatred does.))

The Boot of Mind Control on Your Face

You squeal “totalitarian regime” and “Trump’s Hitler” because the media’s lies and “threat to democracy” psyop programming have become embedded jackboots stamping down on your subconscious so no objections could be raised. As such, you don’t see that the jackboot is on the other foot. And, you don’t see that the totalitarian regime backing Harris-Walz is pacing in the wings ready to place its boot on your face “for ever!”

The Boot of Suppression on Your Face

Vice President Kamala Harris is threatening to weaponize the Department of Justice (DOJ) against social media platforms failing to censor supposed “hate” and “misinformation” to her liking.

Censorship will be imposed Under Harris-Walz.

You see, your voice and your opinion are detestable to the authoritarian elites. They love to lecture, pontificate, and blather on in the media, in books and articles, in podcasts, and in church-sponsored events. They love the sound of their own voice. They don’t want to hear from you unless you are a journalist asking the “right” questions (and not the right questions.)

(There are those who lecture. And there are those of us tired of being lectured to and being censored.)

The “Save Democracy” party acted to silence Joe and Jill Biden when they replaced Joe with a DEI token. Joe is speaking out now and Dems are not happy, as he messes with their Disney production.

They have tried, by any means necessary, to suppress the voice of Donald Trump who represents the voice of those the elites detest and Democrats take for granted. They will do so again. When he wins the election, they will claim that he’s an “insurrectionist” to keep him out of the White House.

Some Democrats won’t commit to certifying a Trump victory (axios.com)

The 10+ million illegal immigrants who invaded our country under Biden-Harris will supress the voice of the American citizen in the voting booth – by design.

(Dems don’t need Zuckerbucks to swing this election. FEMA under Mayorkas is giving away tax-payer money to illegals – for votes!)

The Boot of Safetyism on Your Face

They want to silence you. They say that when you question and propose a different view that you spread misinformation with the potential to cause dramatic real-world consequences. In other words, prioritizing feelings of safety is reason to censor you. You see, you are unsafe when you say things not in line with the narrative come down from on high. The censors are not unsafe because they have “specialized” insider knowledge. The authoritarian elite want the population to be quiet, afraid, constantly worrying about what is next, and looking to them for answers.

The Boot of Choice Architecture on Your Face

The jackboots of social media and search engine Google have censored/stamped/manipulated out your voice and the truth during COVID and elections.

Mark Zuckerberg, in his letter to Congressman Jim Jordan, wrote about government interference in the free exchange of information:

In 2021, senior officials from the Biden Administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree.

Election example:

Google Manipulates Search for Hillary Crimes (youtube.com)

It’s no wonder that Democrats hate that Musk’s X is giving people the freedom to speak.

The Boot of Misinformation on Your Face

Half-truths, lying, and creating a pretense of reality are forms of censorship that are blatantly dangerous to our Democracy.

The government – federal, state and local – will mis-inform. To wit: What the New Jobs Report Really Says (youtube.com) The Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Commerce Department, has been the economy’s false witness for years. Does anyone think there has been a real economic recovery since the lockdowns?

During the Trump-Harris “debate” a moderator fact-checked Trump’s claim that crime is up. David Muir cited FBI reports that crime is down. Everyone knows this isn’t true. It is well-known that FBI crime reports are skewed because big cities run by Democrats do not report crime statistics to the FBI.

10-16-2024 FBI update: 80,000 violent crimes not originally counted.

They say that inflation has come down to 2.4% Yet prices have not come down, have they? I knew that the last Fed cut (50 bp) would happen before the election so as to boost the markets and make the economy and current government look good.

The “Save Democracy” party media (NYT, WaPo, The Atlantic, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, and their ilk), in service of state power and the “ruling class”, provides only the state-approved narrative (See mind-control video above).” This Boot of their Misinformation is extremely dangerous to our Democracy.

The Boot of Central Planning on Your Face

A full arsenal of censoring (and compelled speech) boots – DEI, ESG, CRT, LGBTQ, licensing, and more -have been deployed by institutions and the state for purposes of culture planning.

Any of the following should be terrifying, unless, of course, you are saying what Big Brother types want you to say. (They love cultural Christians, the ones who talk about love and Jesus and who parrot their narratives!)

Kerry’s choice of words and tone shows that far-left radicals in the Obama-Biden-Harris team are frightened that their own misinformation and disinformation propaganda jammed through far-left corporate media outlets is no longer sticking as the citizens gravitate to the ‘free speech’ X platform run by Elon Musk for their news in the pursuit of truth after being lied to for decades by their corrupt government and corporate overlords.”

Matt Taibbi writes:

WE IGNORE LAWS. It’s what America does. With this in mind, our government has moved past censorship to the larger project of changing the American personality. They want a more obedient, timorous, fearful citizen. Their tool is the Internet, a vast machine for doling out reward and punishment through likes and views, shaming or deamplification. The mechanics are complicated but the core concept is simple: you’re upranked for accepting authority, downranked for questioning it, with questions of any kind increasingly viewed as a form of disinformation.

As with government backing of student loans creating rising college and university tuitions and more student debt, there is a downside to government involved healthcare:

Former President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act (ACA) sought to make health insurance more accessible, all while reducing premiums and the government’s budget shortfall, and allowing Americans to keep their preferred medical providers. However, individual market premiums surged, hundreds of billions of dollars were added to cumulative U.S. deficits and seven million consumers had their plans canceled following the ACA’s passage, the Committee to Unleash Prosperity study found.

The Self-censored

How can this be? Have religious people been taught not to deal with reality? Are they just passing through, like the chorus says? Are they so heavenly minded they are no earthly good? Are they so passive and feminized that they can’t take a stand.

The Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University has found that millions of religious people, most of whom are Christian, report that they will not vote in November’s election.

The study relates that only 51% of “people of faith,” including Christians, Muslims, Jews, Mormons, and other religious groups, plan on voting. This means that approximately 104 million religious people will not vote.

“The 32 million Christians who regularly attend church services but are not likely to vote,” he said, “represent a far larger margin than the combined number of votes that decided the 2020 election in key battleground states.”

[The study’s lead researcher, Dr. George] Barna added, “If church leaders, family members, and close friends will use their influence to get reticent voters from their churches to cast a ballot on November 5, the election outcome will be meaningfully affected.”

Millions of Christians, religious people say they are not voting in November – CatholicVote org

When Christians were asked to explain their complacency, 68% replied that they aren’t interested in politics, followed by 57% who dislike both presidential candidates, and another 52% who believe their vote won’t make a difference. In a sad sign of where we are as a country, 48% also worry that the election results will be manipulated.

When Christians Don’t Vote, ‘We Open The Door For Every Evil Ideology To Fill The Vacuum’ – Harbinger’s Daily (harbingersdaily.com)

I voted last week. I am a Christian. I voted for Trump/Vance because I want the Biden-Harris-Obama nightmare to end, I want the wicked duo of Harris-Walz kept out of the White House, and the administrative state dismantled.

Beware of the Werewolves in Sheeps’ Clothing:  Evangelicals for Harris. They look benign and come across as pure as the driven snow to gain your trust. But these werewolves are out to kill at least one vote for Trump each night. You know them by their howling lies:

“Harris “aligns with our biblical values of loving our neighbors as ourselves and protecting the most vulnerable as we are called to do by Jesus,” while Trump “uses fear and hate to divide and conquer,” Ball said.

“The bottom line: Character still counts. Harris will do what’s best for the country even if it costs her, whereas Mr. Trump will always do what’s best for him, even if it hurts the country.”

The above quote from the Rev. Jim Ball, chair of Evangelicals for Harris, is not just galling it is wildly untrue.

Is this what the Rev. Ball means by Harris “protecting the most vulnerable”?

EXCLUSIVE: Biden-Harris Admin Paves Way For Bureaucrats To Take Gender-Confused Kids From ‘Non-Affirming’ Parents | (dailycallernewsfoundation.org)

Does the Rev. Ball mean how the Border Czar is “protecting the most vulnerable” Americans?

Laken Riley was a 22-year-old nursing student at Augusta University was murdered in February 2024 while jogging on the University of Georgia campus. José Antonio Ibarra, a Venezuelan national who had entered the U.S. illegally, was charged with her murder. The case has led to proposed legislation, known as the “Laken Riley Act,” which imposes stricter immigration laws regarding migrant detention.

Does the Rev. Ball mean this?

Yeah, Kamala is a real peach!

Filmmaker Joel Gilbert speaks up about how Kamala targeted Black communities in CA and sent a mother to jail for taking care of her sick child. “Complete lack of empathy!”

Harris talks about herself using ideological slogans, cackling and flirtation. Trump talks about himself in reference to American citizens and what matters to them. Trump has a human reference point. Harris is an empty pantsuit that is referenced to whatever. There’s no there there.

The Rev. Ball used footage of Billy Graham as a cloak of moral superiority.

Beware of those cloaked in moral superiority!

And there’s this, UGH!:

American Citizenship and Its Decline: The Disappearing Middle Class

On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Jeremiah and Juan discuss the shifting economic roots of the decline of citizenship before introducing Victor Davis Hanson.

Citizenship is rare in human history but essential to free government. Today, the constitutional rule of citizens in America is threatened by a new form of government, unaccountable to the people, in which power is held by a ruling class that seeks to transform our society. In this eight-lecture course, students will examine the origins and history of citizenship in the West and the grave challenges American citizenship faces today.

A large and self-sufficient middle class is essential to citizenship, as it prevents an unstable, binary society of rich and poor. The once thriving American middle class is now vanishing due to high debts, low wages, and government policies that trap citizens in a prolonged adolescence.

Solzhenitsyn wrote with “lucid understanding,” and with no small dose of scorn, about the “Progressive Doctrine,” the inhuman ideology that justified terror and tyranny as no regime or ideological movement had ever justified the killing and repression of real or imagined “enemies of the People.” He showed that the heart of Bolshevism lay in a monstrous coming together of violence and lies that gave rise not to mere dictatorship but to a totalitarianism that transformed betrayal and lying into “forms of existence.”  This totalitarianism demanded fierce resistance, both for the sake of liberty and for the right of the human soul to breathe freely, with the dignity afforded it by God.

Former President Barack Obama is urging black men to support Kamala Harris, suggesting that our allegiance should be based on the color of her skin and the chance to “make history.” But I have a simple response to that: my ancestors fought too hard for my right to vote for me to be reduced to a racial checkbox in a political game. I won’t support someone just because they look remotely like me—especially when that person has shown no regard for the real issues facing black communities.

The New Way Forward: First, Do No Help

As if you needed a reminder . . . the misanthropes of the Democrat political machine ain’t comin’ to save you. You people are not a priority.

There’s a word that seems to encompass what our ruling elite and the party they congregate around — that’s the Democrat Party, in case you’re a little slow — have in the way of an attitude toward the rest of us.

Contempt.

We’ve seen this for a long time. Eight years ago, when the Democrats made a transition from the charismatic (but certainly not friendly) Barack Obama to the anti-charismatic Hillary Clinton, even the most obtuse observer could see how nasty the Democrats had become. (Emphasis mine.)

We have been given another look at Kamala’s Joy and New Way Forward: First, Do No Help.

How do Never Trumpers and Evangelicals for Harris justify their allegiance to Kamala Harris and Tim Walz? This dreadful duo is OK with chaos and destruction and simply ignoring the needs of others for the sake of their Leftist political notions. All of the destruction of the last three-and-a–half years, here and abroad, has been made possible by Biden-Harris (Who say, along with fellow communists of the New Way Forward, “Why build up when you can overwhelm, tear down, burn down and start over from scratch.”)

As Border Czar, Kamala Harris continues to leave the border wide open. She has allowed in all kinds of destructive elements: criminals, terrorists, diseases, and deadly fentanyl. Harris was VP during the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Thirteen American soldiers died in the process.

Harris passed the Inflation Reduction Act which added to the highest inflation in 80 years. Harris called out the amount of money spent on police departments who keep law and order in the increasing crime-ridden communities flooded with illegals. Harris spoke well of the 2020 rioting and helped bail out rioters.

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz fiddled as Minneapolis burned during destructive 2020 BLM riots

Biden-Harris released money for Iran. Iran and Hezbollah then went about attacking Israel.

I have no doubt that the heinous Barack Obama, Eric Holder, Susan Rice and others are behind the destructive policies of Harris. Harris is just a DEI hire along for the ride.

Harris is OK with censorship and the destruction of free speech.

How do Never Trumpers and Evangelicals for Harris wed their vaunted opinions of themselves with the broadcasted disdain Democrats like Harris and Walz have for our Democracy, our Constitution, our country, and their utter disregard of, contempt for, and hatred of American citizens? Because Not Trump?

Yes, Biden was on the beach all weekend.

Elites hate “bitter clingers” – those who are independent God-and-neighbor-loving. Elites expect everyone to be dependent on them for everything. They demand fealty. If it’s not given, they call you names like “deplorable” and “extremist.”

Misanthropic Democrats, They Hate You | Kingdom Venturers  and continue to show their hatred of you. They love power and hate you. They are concerned about the election, not you.

Obama-Harris whisperer David Axelrod, host of the “Axe Files” podcast, said the quiet part out loud as the Biden Regime blocks ongoing rescue operations in North Carolina.

Axelrod said Hurricane Helene victims in North Carolina are mainly Trump voters who will find it hard to vote in the 2024 election.

David Axelrod said affected Democrats from Asheville are “upscale liberal voters, and they’re probably going to figure out a way to vote. I’m not sure a bunch of these folks who had their homes and lives destroyed elsewhere, in western North Carolina, in the mountains, there are going to be as easy to wrangle for the Trump campaign.”
