As presidential hopefuls Donald Trump and Kamala Harris approach their first debate on Tuesday, their campaigns have unveiled economic policies that seem in some ways diametrically opposed — and only one could stimulate “robust economic growth,” a leading economist has warned.
Harris has proposed imposing price controls on food, undoing the Trump tax cuts of 2017 by raising the top tax rate to 39.6%, hiking corporate taxes and capital gains taxes to 28%, giving first-time homebuyers $25,000, and doubling down on Obamacare by raising taxpayer-funded subsidies for those who buy their plans from the exchange.
She also proposed one tax cut to benefit small businesses. “I want to see 25 million new small business applications by the end of my first term,” said Harris last week. “So, part of my plan is we will expand the tax deduction for startups to $50,000.”
In a speech at the Economic Club of New York last Thursday, former President Trump proposed unleashing the power of the free market by maintaining the 2017 tax cuts and further slashing the corporate tax from 21% to 15%, cutting red tape, protecting U.S. manufacturing by raising tariffs on imported goods, clawing back all unspent funds from the Biden-Harris administration’s Inflation Reduction Act, and making more jobs available to U.S. citizens by deporting illegal immigrants who lower wages and compete for jobs.
Both candidates agree on ending federal taxation on tips, a policy first proposed this presidential race by Trump and parroted by Harris.
“Kamala Harris is running a giveaway campaign,” Paul Mueller, a senior research fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER) told “Washington Watch” guest host Joseph Backholm last Thursday. “Of course, the Biden administration has been trying to cancel various forms of student debt for years now. And her approach, I think, to stimulating the economy is more of what we’ve seen over the past four years, which is extensive government involvement, huge amounts of spending. It’s not really an organic growth within the economy.”
Artificial stimulus raises prices, a major problem over the course of the Biden-Harris administration. “When you subsidize people’s ability to buy things — whether that’s higher education or health care — and we give people money in the form of loans or grants or scholarships to do that, what it does is boosts demand. And so what we see over time in both of those areas is rising costs. The cost of higher education has grown much faster than everything else in the economy. The rate of increase for health care has increased very rapidly,” Mueller stated. “And so this $25,000 credit for first-time home buyers, while it sounds nice, it’s actually going to continue to put upward pressure on the price of housing overall.”
The entire amount of the subsidy is “actually going to be eaten up by rising prices,” Mueller noted.
Even a putatively pro-business tax policy like a small business tax credit could backfire. “There are a lot of small business owners who maybe will close down their existing business and start a new one just to get the tax credit,” Mueller warned.
On the other hand, “President Trump’s agenda” has the potential to spur “robust economic growth” in an organic way, said Mueller. “He has talked about wanting to roll back regulations.”
Mueller noted he opposed Trump’s tariff policy, “and, then, he hasn’t really addressed runaway government spending. And the more money that is spent by the federal government, the less money there is for people in the private sector to spend on their businesses, their houses, their projects.”
Backholm suggested the greatest vacuum in economic dialogue involves America’s $35 trillion national debt. “So far, we are not seeing a lot of politicians raise their hand and say, ‘I’m the guy that’s going to give you less so we can save the future.’ I think that might be what we need. We’re not getting that from anybody at this point.”

Secondly, yesterday we worked on the site a bit. There was no landing page, so many of you may have felt there was an issue. It was simply some work being done on the site which we felt would take much less time than it did. Sorry for any concern that may have generated. For the moment, we can assure you everything is A -OK thank you all for staying with us.
1. Enemy propaganda org. CTV ‘News’ takes Canadian authoritarianism to near British standards.
Please watch carefully. Anything counter narrative is now “Russian Propaganda” and any thing Russian must be both wrong, and evil. This is startlingly Orwellian. We have to use the same method and quality of thought on this that we would on anything else. We cannot trust the peer-review process to mean a thing is true, or even as presented. We cannot trust that anything from GoldsteinTrump Russia is wrong and intends to hurt. Even though a great deal of Russian disinformation is in fact being deployed across the West to disrupt, divide and weaken our civilization. This is a fact and it is developed and sophisticated. But our own governments are also doing the same to us in order to remove our individual rights. The Trudeau gov’r did in fact use the military and other methods to wage propaganda warfare against Canadians to force the vaxx and covid narratives on us and still are, as well as launching new ones all the time.
2. The main line of effort against us all remains the mass immigration. The rest, true or not, pales in comparison to the threat this real and concurrent line of operation against us represents to us all.
3. At some point we must do a deeper dive on this, Trudeau is passing bills that move us from a nation state of individual rights to a communist collectivist state with an all powerful government bill by bill faster than we can keep up.
New Canadian Pandemic Act has the potential to infringe on civil liberties, violate individuals’ health privacy, grant broad powers to the Minister of Health, and much more.
Bill C-293, the Pandemic Prevention and Preparedness Act, which has passed its first reading before the Senate, aims to establish robust measures to mitigate future pandemics. However, a closer look reveals several concerns related to government overreach, health privacy, possible violations of civil liberties, and unclear priorities.
One of the primary issues is the bill’s establishment and interlinking of surveillance systems for infectious diseases, both domestically and internationally. The extensive data collection proposed—especially with international linkages involving organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE)—raises significant privacy concerns. This could lead to widespread monitoring of citizens’ health data, potentially without their explicit consent.
The legislation also mandates collaboration between the federal government, provincial governments, and Indigenous communities to collect and share health data. This requirement may create data privacy, security, and misuse concerns.
Another troubling aspect is the bill’s broad discretion granted to the Minister of Health and other relevant officials. They are empowered to set pandemic preparedness standards and make far-reaching decisions about public health responses, surveillance, and commercial regulations. The absence of thorough oversight or parliamentary approval for such decisions raises concerns about transparency and accountability, potentially allowing political interests to take precedence over public welfare.
Furthermore, the bill compels the Minister of Health and other officials to “leverage international expertise” by adopting internationally developed pandemic prevention metrics. This could result in Canada aligning with global standards that don’t necessarily reflect its domestic needs, limiting the country’s ability to make independent public health decisions.
In terms of economic impact, the bill targets commercial activities that “disproportionately contribute to pandemic risk,” such as industrial animal agriculture. However, the lack of clarity around what constitutes “disproportionate” could lead to arbitrary decisions, harming industries without solid scientific evidence. This vagueness could spark significant economic disruptions and legal disputes over the scope of such regulations.
The bill’s emphasis on the One Health approach—integrating human, animal, plant, and ecosystem health—may also be problematic. While holistic health is important, this broad approach could lead to sweeping environmental regulations under the guise of pandemic prevention, potentially affecting sectors like farming, forestry, and urban development without clear justifications related to pandemics.
Lastly, the bill allocates substantial resources to global health equity initiatives, raising concerns that domestic resources could be diverted to international efforts.
In summary, while Bill C-293 seeks to enhance pandemic preparedness, its broad language, expanded surveillance powers, and potential for economic disruption pose significant risks. The bill’s lack of transparency and vague definitions could lead to actions that undermine civil liberties, disrupt key industries, and prioritize global interests over Canada’s own.
There is another authoritarian bill we haven’t had time to deal with where the Trudopians plan to make ALL off label use of prescription meds, which I am told is the majority of prescriptions, illegal. Searching for it, I am coming up empty at the moment. So Maybe that isn’t a thing. If I find it, I’ll post it.
4. Whatever you think of this guy and what he says, its a zero in terms of awfulness compared to what Islamic preachers say about all of us all day every day. Frankly, this is kinda refreshing at this point.
One way or another this seems to be the rule we all accept, consciously or unconsciously, conditioned into this concept. The words in the meme below are taken from the sermon of a Canadian imam VERBATIM.
5. This one was left in the comments by Watchmen. It felt like a Christmas present come early.
Noam Chomsky, the guy the left likes to claim is the smartest guy in the world or something, the guy who wrote a book that became a documentary allegedly on freedom of speech called, “Manufacturing Consent” but in reality was only critical of speech that seemed right oriented. At the time he wrote that book he was an active Prof at a US university and no where does he mention University speech codes, which, at the time, was the biggest most obvious restrictions on what could and could not be said in the US of A, and he never mentioned them once, even though present at his own university, from my recollection of the film version of his book.
So here he is talking about how skepticism about Global Warming and the mRNA vaxx which “has to be dealt with and overcome, and very decisively and without delay…”
You know, this doesn’t sound a lot like someone who is a big freedom of speech guy. It sounds like an advocate for a communist collectivist government ready to use force to make sure everyone has right think. Or am I misreading him.
The good news is, you get to hear that within the first 3 minutes in case you fear having to endure the whole 15 of this clip.
Thank you all for checking out this site.
Speaking of Chomsky’s real views on freedom of speech, Tony Blair explains how none of us should have any except purveyors of government narratives, or the wizards of “truth”. This interview is from 3 days ago, and is summarized here.

There are multiple flaws on our K-12 education system, but the undying one has rarely been discussed, much less analyzed and addressed.
The fundamental premise of the US K-12 education system is basically:
We will teach your children a number of Facts in select subject areas (English, Math, Science, History, etc.).
Spread out over the K-12 period, this will be what we call a Sound Basic Education.
This Sound Basic Education will enable your child to: a) continue on for Higher Education [if they so choose], and b) be a productive, happy member of society.
On the surface this all sounds good and reasonable. However, a more thorough examination exposes the reality that this model is profoundly flawed in several fundamental ways.
Who determines the “Facts” that will be taught? For example, what are the Facts regarding our energy options, climate change, the origins of the universe, American history, gender identity, etc? Our present system has been taken over by Left-leaning academics and activists, so Progressives dictate to K-12 students what the “Facts” are on key issues — even though many of them are in dispute.
Critical Thinking is not taught. No State in the US currently has any statewide subject standards where K-12 students are formally taught how to do Critical Thinking. None. The reason for this purposeful omission is that Progressives do NOT want students questioning the suspect “Facts” they are told to accept.
Worse, the opposite of Critical Thinking is being taught. The pervasive message is that students should be conformists. For example they should: defer to authority, follow what’s politically in vogue, adhere to consensus views, accept what computer models and projections say, etc. In all of these, the message is clear to students: “We do not need or want your thoughts on any societal matters, as computers and smarter people than you have given us proper direction.”
The current Higher Education system is simply more advanced indoctrination. Once Critical Thinking has been squelched and Conformity has become the norm in K-12, it’s child’s play to up the ante.
Nothing about this education system assures productivity. True productivity is based on such qualities as persistent effort, good efficiency, and creativity (part of Critical Thinking). The current system is creating lemmings by instead teaching entitlement and conformity, which are both anathema to real productivity.
Nothing about this education system assures happiness. This can be made a complicated matter, but we are simplifying here. Happiness boils down to having a meaningful life. That comes about by embracing genuine values — e.g., Judeo-Christian. Instead children are infused with the corrosive idea of relativism (via SEL, etc.). This guarantees a mediocre country with inherently unhappy citizens.
Let’s make this very simple. The fight over the purpose of our education system can be boiled down to two radically different perspectives:
The Left believes that we should be teaching our children WHAT to think.
The Right believes that we should be teaching our children HOW to think.
For a few decades now the US K-12 education system has been following the Progressives Plan — primarily because no major Conservative organization is paying sufficient attention to the curricula issue. In this pivotal battlefield, the Right has surrendered to the Left!
Until this is fixed, America will continue a steady downhill descent.
Tragically we are quickly approaching the point of no return.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney ((R) tenure 2001-2009) is a fraud Republican and the poster child for incompetence and high crimes and misdemeanors.
It’s not a surprise that he has endorsed the Communist candidate for President of the United States Kamala Harris.
I am surprised though that this war criminal is still alive and kicking considering his former three pack of cigarettes a day habit, his unhealthy life style and his inability to handle a gun while quail hunting.
It’s interesting that he would endorse Kamala Harris who is an anti fossil fuels Marxist that wants to ban fracking.
Remember Dick Cheney was the chairman and CEO of Halliburton from 1995 to 2000. A company that focused primarily on fracking and oil drilling.
Deep state war criminal Vice President Cheney was also an early proponent of invading the sovereign nation of Iraq.
He falsely claimed very convincingly using fake intelligence from the deep state CIA that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction.
The U.S. invasion of Iraq resulted in the deaths of 4,492 US military, 32,292 US military wounded and over 200,000 Iraqi civilians killed. The Bush administration primarily led by Dick Cheney is responsible for this atrocity.
I send my condolences to all the families of U.S. service members and innocent Iraqi citizens that died needlessly due to the evil and corrupt use of his power.
During Dick Cheney’s tenure as vice president he was also the driving force behind-the-scenes in the George W. Bush administrations response to the terror attacks on 9/11.
Bush and Cheney took the war on terror to levels that included spying on American citizens resulting in the unconstitutional invasion of our privacy and the dismantling of our 4th Amendment rights via the Patriot Act.
So now even today in 2024, AT&T and other telephone companies still provide the federal government with all our emails, text messages and phone call data via spy servers in tall buildings in New York City and other places under the unconstitutional Patriot Act still funded by the do nothing uni-party worthless Republican controlled Congress.
So we can thank Dick Cheney (R) for his contribution to shred our constitutional rights via his globalist mindset and deep state policies.
Donald Trump is pleased to see this war monger endorse Kamala Harris and not him driving another nail into her Marxist political coffin.
Much like Liz Cheney his failed congressional war mongering fraud Republican daughter, Dick Cheney is only helping Trump by endorsing Kamala Harris as we Americans have very good memories regarding this criminal politicians past performance.
So war monger and deep state operative Dick Cheney ended his vice presidential tenure as a deeply unpopular politician in American politics with an approval rating of 13 percent. Now he has helped end comrade Kamala Harris political aspirations.
Kamala Harris and the deep state will soon be defeated by Trump who will end these senseless unconstitutional wars getting Americans killed by these evil globalists. Vote Trump 2024.

One of my readers sent this to me this morning. I do not know the original source but it speaks for many of us.
I woke up, and as I had my morning coffee, I realized that everything is about to change. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, something evil has invaded our nation, and our lives are never going to be the same.
I have been confused by the hostility of family and friends. I look at people I have known all my life–so hate-filled that they agree with opinions they would never express as their own. I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone.
You can’t justify this insanity. We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind!
If a man pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.
Somehow it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.
Russians influencing our elections are bad, but illegals voting in our elections are good.
It was cool for Joe Biden to “blackmail” the President of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquires about it.
Twenty is too young to drink a beer, but eighteen is old enough to vote.
People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.
People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees.
Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.
Irish doctors and German engineers who want to emigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang-banger who jumps the southern fence is welcome.
$5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not.
If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.
People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.
We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan for us.
Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.
Criminals are caught and released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it’s a violation of THEIR rights.
And pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us “racists”?!
Nothing makes sense anymore, no values, no morals, no civility and people are dying of a Chinese virus, but it’s racist to refer to it as Chinese even though it began in China. We are clearly living in an upside down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good, where killing murderers is wrong, but killing innocent babies is right.
Wake up America, the great unsinkable ship Titanic America has hit an iceberg, is taking on water, and is sinking fast.
New York Democratic Rep. Grace Meng has longstanding ties to an organization reportedly linked to a Chinese intelligence agency and alleged Communist Party operatives, the Daily Caller News Foundation found.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Tuesday indicted Linda Sun, who served in two New York governors’ offices as well as Meng’s chief of staff while she served in the state assembly, for allegedly acting as an unregistered foreign agent of China and money laundering.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that Sun met the “heads of key groups identifiable in the indictment as being United Front-linked, including the U.S. Federation of Chinese-American Entrepreneurs and the Henan Association of Eastern America.”
China’s so-called “United Front” strategy of influence and intelligence collection is overseen by a Chinese intelligence service called the United Front Work Department.
The heads of these groups were “supervised, directed, and controlled by [Chinese] government officials,” DOJ alleges.
Meng has been associated with Henan Association Of Eastern America (HAEA), a New York-based organization, for over a decade. She previously served as “deputy chairwoman,” according to an archived version of HAEA’s website, and the group now prominently identifies the congresswoman as an “honorary chairwoman.”
Meng was not named in the DOJ indictment, and her office did not return multiple requests for comment.
The DOJ’s indictment, however, does note that one of Sun’s alleged unnamed co-conspirators, known as CC-1, “served as the president of an association of persons from Henan Province, PRC located in the New York metropolitan area.”
The indictment describes CC-1’s organization, “Association-1,” as “a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization closely associated with the United Front Work Department (‘UFWD’) and the Chinese Communist Party (‘CCP’).”
HAEA did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
“Over the last forty years, a network of pro-CCP Chinese-American organizations operating in coordination with the Chinese Consulate has been established, which now has enormous influence on New York’s business and political climate, basically providing an outpost and pro-CCP personnel for directly executing China’s foreign policy from within the United States,” Dr. Lawrence Sellin, a national security and United Front expert, told the DCNF.
Henan Association Of Eastern America
Founded in 1973, HAEA aims to support Chinese participation in politics as well as cultural exchange and trade between the U.S. and China, according to its website.
For more than a decade, Meng has held various roles with HAEA, according to records on the group’s website. Meng and her mother, who is a native of China’s Henan province, were first listed as HAEA members in 2008, the nonprofit’s records state.
Between 2008 and 2012, Meng served as HAEA’s “deputy chairwoman,” according to its website. HAEA later began identifying Meng as “honorary chairwoman” in February 2012, the month before Meng launched her congressional campaign in March 2012, HAEA’s records show.
Meng’s photo and title are currently pictured at the top of HAEA’s website alongside its president.
Sun has not been listed on HAEA’s member roster, but photos on HAEA’s website show Meng with Sun together at events as far back as 2009, the DCNF found.
For instance, Meng and Sun were photographed together at a December 2009 karaoke fundraiser for Meng, who then served in the New York State Assembly.
Photos also show Meng and Sun together at HAEA’s annual Chinese New Year meeting in February 2010.
Sun is accused of having “actively concealed that she took actions at the order, request, or direction of [the Chinese] government and CCP representatives,” the DOJ’s indictment states. “Thus, neither the NYS government nor the greater New York and American public had the opportunity to evaluate her conduct, considering her long-standing relationships with the [Chinese] government and the CCP and her status as their agent.”
In 2019, Sun was allegedly hired as a committee member for the All-China Federation Of Returned Overseas Chinese (ACFROC), according to the DOJ’s indictment.
ACFROC is an “agency” of the CCP’s United Front Work Department, which attempts to “manage relationships with and generate support for the CCP among elite individuals inside and outside the PRC, including by gathering human intelligence,” the DOJ’s indictment states.
Dr. June Teufel Dreyer, former commissioner of the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, told the DCNF that ACFROC is “unquestionably an organization through which the CCP, through the United Front Work Department, seeks to shape the opinions of the Chinese diaspora to its views.”
‘Co-Conspirator’
Sun previously served as “Asian Outreach Director” for former New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and, most recently, served as New York Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul’s deputy chief of staff, government records show.
While working for the two New York governors, the DOJ’s indictment alleges that Sun also worked in secret for a man identified only as a “co-conspirator” who had direct contact with multiple officials in the Chinese government.
Sun’s work with the co-conspirator allegedly “included fraudulently obtaining letters that purported to be from the [New York governor’s office] inviting delegations of PRC officials to visit New York, which the government officials used to unlawfully obtain visas to enter the United States,” according to the DOJ’s indictment.
The invited officials were from China’s Henan province, according to the indictment.
In return, Chinese officials and co-conspirators allegedly funneled contracts to businesses in Henan run by Sun’s husband, Chris Hu, who was also arrested by the FBI and charged by the DOJ.
The DOJ did not respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.

Governor DeSantis, and Mom’s for Liberty, were derided for their school board candidates not doing as well as was hoped for in the August primary. The poor results were not a reflection of their political influence, but a reflection of election law that disenfranchises the multitude of voters who only vote in the general election.
In my home County of Indian River, the two school board races had candidates that were endorsed by the Governor, Mom’s for Liberty, and our Republican Executive Committee, and these candidates both lost. Had the election taken place in the general election, they would have handily won.
Amendment 1, making school board elections partisan, would not have changed the outcome of these elections. Owing to the elections likely having had only Republican candidates in the election, the elections would have become “Universal Primary Contests” with the same people winning the elections at the time of the primary!
Universal primary contests are wholly unfair to conservative Republicans while also disenfranchising a huge block of voters who only vote in general elections. I am voting against Amendment 1 owing to it does not change the unfairness of this crazy primary system! Contact your legislators, and the governor, to get election law changed so that no elections are decided at the time of the primary election!
Notes: 1) This report will likely not be generated again until after the general election. 2) Seminole County had not posted updated registration numbers by Friday, September 6th, so the previous month’s numbers were used in both this narrative and the tables and charts.
Florida Voter Registrations
Note: the registrations numbers in this writing refer to active registrations, a subset of total registrations.
Florida Republicans continue the trend of making relative gains in active voter registrations as Republican registrations relative to Democrat registrations increased by 28,391 registrations in August and by 718,208 registrations since the book closing for the 2022 general election. It seems Vice President Harris replacing President Biden as the Democrat’s presidential nominee had little or no impact on changing the negative relative Democrat registration trends.
Florida Republicans now have a 1,024,158 relative registrations advantage over the Democrats. Republican registrations were 39.37% of total registrations and Republicans now enjoy a 7.50% of total registrations advantage over the Democrats (see tables).
The Democrats gained 33,345 registrations in August, lost 615,840 registrations since the 2022 book closing, and 947,765 registrations since the 2020 election. Republican registrations increased by 61,736 in August, and the number of registrations which are neither Republican nor Democrat increased by 26,378 registrations in August (see chart).
The chart shows graphically the change in active registrations since the 2022 book closing.
Table 1 lists Florida Counties by Republican registration margins relative to Democrat registrations.
Table 2 shows how Florida Counties are performing relative to each other in Republican registration margin improvement (some of the biggest relative gainers are the Counties of Hillsborough, St. Lucie, Seminole, Pinellas, Polk, Volusia, and Sarasota). The Counties of Lee and Collier should be recognized for their continuous leadership in Republican registration margin relative to Democrat registrations.
Table 3 lists vote margin changes of Florida Counties between the last two presidential and gubernatorial elections
Table 4 lists Florida Counties in order by gains in Republican registrations and shows the associated registration changes for non-Republicans.
Table 5 presents various Republican registration and vote metrics on a percentage basis.

“Don’t give Up…Never give UP…Fight and we will win!” This battle cry of the Marxist Democrats is far more than theatrical, far more than mere sensationalism, far more than political rhetoric. This battle cry of the Marxist Democrats is a core belief that is indoctrinated into field representatives of the Marxist Democrats who carry petitions door-to-door, who appear at rallies religiously no matter where or the cost or the weather. Fight to win at all costs beginning at the local levels to change a society and work your way UP to the Executive Branch of American government. Now tell me the Marxist Democrats have not demonstrated this in multiple fashions. Heck…Comrade Kamala uses the battle cry in one of her campaign ads.
Money and political marketing for the Marxists who have succeeded infiltrating school boards, city councils, state legislatures is proving successful. Maybe flying under the political radar but proving successful. Here in Arizona over $186 million dollars was scheduled for candidates seeking seats in both houses of the State Legislature. What is coming is a tidal wave of TV, radio, various print publications, internet campaign messages and mailings highlighting the care and concern Marxist Democrats have for the common person who is struggling to pay bills, put food on the table and gas in their car. Emotional messaging countering how MAGA candidates and ALL things Trump are for the select few, the fortunate, the well off, not every-day folk.
Simultaneously targeted are rural and small communities, not just here in Arizona but across the country. Even if the campaign successes do not allow for control of a state legislature or executive branch offices, placing Marxists into a wide variety of local offices, elected or otherwise, will have a tremendous effect toward the battle to change forever America. “Don’t give UP…Fight and we will win” and abolish the foundational principles of America moving the United States into the New-World Order of Marxism, anti-God, anti-Capitalism.
I learned from multiple sources that a most sophisticated, well-funded, under the radar movement to accomplish that which I just wrote is well underway and has been for many months. I included an article from The Gateway Pundit, well written that helps expose this diabolical plan unleashed. I pray MAGA Believers will “Fight to win” for each political office they can. Without theatrics or sensational rhetoric, we very might be on the advent of our country’s last election to preserve this exceptional nation.
Maricopa and Pima Counties are the highly populated counties throwing statewide elections in Arizona. “Highly Populated” includes large tranches of illegals from the Kamala Harris Open Border Campaign.
Arizona used to be Barry Goldwater Country – the original MAGA candidate. But now it’s the McCain Mafia that dominates the two big cities in Arizona and turns some members of the Arizona GOP into drones and automatons for the Blue Regime. Remember – John McCain came to Arizona as a Democrat and realized that he couldn’t win without an (R) behind his name.
The McCain Mafia fully enables the Blue Regime to try to establish a stranglehold on Arizona-wide elections. Stephen Richer, the Republican Maricopa County Recorder, was one of these GOP McCain Mafia drones. Richer is the Chris “Most Secure Election Ever” Krebs of Arizona despite having temporary employees wandering around with security keys to privileged access spaces of election infrastructure. He lost, but has his farewell opportunity to impact this presidential election.
The real story of Arizona is now about the small towns of Arizona, ignored by the hustle and bustle of Maricopa and Pima Counties. The movie “Bad Day at Black Rock” shows the thug nature that can develop in small desert towns, and it’s what is going on in Arizona hamlets. Hard-left activists supported and directed by the quaint-sounding “Rural Organizing Initiative” (ROI) are using dark money from Arabella to go after anyone who is not a communist progressive or squishy McCain Mafia pseudo-Red.

It has come to our understanding that the United Nations governing your organization has banned a group of words and WIPO is now prohibited from using them in future adjudications, cases and correspondence.
Well, we are a group of lumberjacks here in upstate New York but the United Nations has now banned the word “lumberjack” from your approved WIPO word list so how do we communicate with you ?
We also have two Englishmen here working on site cutting down trees but the United Nations has also banned the word “Englishman” from its approved list of words. Another problem right ?
We also have dogs with us which we classify as our “man’s best friend” but this expression too has been banned by the United Nations. So what do we call our dogs now?
After work we also go fishing to relax but the United Nations has also banned the word fishermen. Seriously.
My lumberjack workmate, well his mom is a midwife and she delivers lots of babies but the United Nations has also just banned the word “midwife”.
They, the UN, have renamed the word midwife to birth attendant. Very strange right very Orwellian ?
The United Nations is saying that masculine-specific terms give an impression that women do not posses certain skills so the UN is banning these words and phrases and forms of expression.
Well, we masculine guys that know which bathroom to use are warning the United Nations your days are numbered roosting in New York City trying to oppress and destroy the very fabric of the masculine male.
It would be in your best interest to leave the United States sooner rather than later and relocate to some gay friendly feminine country like Saudi Arabia.
The United Nations is a communist, irrational and mentally deranged organization that does not belong in this republic let alone take our American tax payers money for your insane political agenda and ideology.
So we masculine male lumberjacks here in upstate New York with our mans best friends look forward to Donald Trump returning to the White House so with the stroke of a pen you United Nations Commie retards will be defunded and removed from the United States.

Editors’ Note: Remember – the 2024 Arizona election will be determined by the number of ballots cast by mail-in votes (90% in Maricopa County, 80% across Arizona). It is critical that all readers of The Prickly Pear and all AZ voters cast their mail-in ballots quickly after receipt in the mail shortly after October 9th. Elections are determined by the number of ballots cast. Please read our website’s TAKE ACTION information to learn how to track your mailed-in ballot to affirm that your ballot is received, your signature verified and that your ballot is counted. By filling in your ballot and mailing it in quickly (best at your post office) in the days after it is received following when ballots are mailed out on October 9th, your party’s workers no longer have to work on contacting you to vote – those not voting can be called and contacted to vote, making the job of maximizing the vote much more efficient and more likely to lead to a victory on November 5th. Also remember – the ‘STUPID’ way to vote is to bring your ballot to a polling station on November 5th and drop it off in the mail-in ballot box where it will not be counted on the day of election and may not be counted in the days and weeks beyond the election. We strongly urge you to never drop a ballot off in a ‘Drop Box’.
PHOENIX, AZ – Today the Freedom Club PAC announced General Election endorsements for [Arizona] legislative offices in 2024.
Freedom Club PAC Chairman Scot Mussi stated, “It is a critical time in our country and in our state. Republicans at the legislature have preserved the safe, affordable, and free way of life we all cherish in Arizona. But that is under threat this election cycle. Katie Hobbs has pledged to spend millions to flip the Arizona legislature and turn our state into another California.It is more important than ever this election cycle for Arizonans to vote down ticket for Republicans who are now the only defense from a radical Leftist takeover that will usher in California policies that threaten to increase crime, crush our economy, and endanger our basic freedoms.”

A new paper in JAMAanalyzes survey respondents in the US over the period of time right after the Covid pandemic started in April 2020 and through early 2024. It reveals a significant decline in trust in physicians and hospitals, dropping from 71.5% in April 2020, to 40.1% in January 2024. Lower trust levels were strongly associated with a reduced likelihood of receiving Covid-19 vaccinations and boosters. Total shocker, right?
Association Between Individual Sociodemographic Features and Trust in Physicians and Hospitals in Ordinal Regression Models in Spring and Summer 2023
One incredibly interesting part of this study was the revealing of the open-text responses that survey respondents gave for their lack of trust. From the supplement, here are the top 4 themes why patients have lost trust.
1. Financial Motives Over Patient Care: This theme includes perceptions of healthcare as primarily profit-driven, where financial incentives outweigh patient welfare. Respondents believe that decisions are made based on profitability rather than the best interests of patients.
2. Poor Quality of Care and Negligence: Responses that mention experiences of neglect, inadequate care, misdiagnosis, or dismissive attitudes from healthcare providers fall under this category. This also includes perceptions of healthcare professionals not listening or taking patient concerns seriously.
3. Influence of External Entities and Agendas: Here, the focus is on the belief that decisions in healthcare are unduly influenced by pharmaceutical companies, government entities, or other external powers. This includes suspicions of dishonesty or withholding information for nonmedical reasons.
4. Discrimination and Bias: Responses indicating experiences or beliefs that healthcare providers exhibit bias, discrimination, or lack of cultural competency. This can include racial discrimination, gender bias, or insensitivity to patient backgrounds.
Another interesting analysis in the supplement was the inclusion of political affiliation. The tendency for Republicans and Independents to have lower trust overall than Democrats should not surprise anyone, as the polarization of vaccines, masks, and lockdowns made it clear that the left was in favor of doing anything at all in the name of combating Covid, no matter the cost.

As we witnessed firsthand in 2020 and 2021, and even today, the condescension, overt political motivations, and outright derision directed at those who were rationally skeptical of a brand-new vaccine, masks, and the extreme and harmful lockdown policies by medical practitioners and hospital systems have finally led to an inevitable consequence: the public simply does not trust them anymore. And not by a small margin—there has been a massive swing from majority trust to majority distrust. For anyone who was paying attention, this is not shocking.
For my part, I hope that the practitioners we truly need to rely on when we require medical care see this as a wake-up call and understand just how much damage they have done to their long-term doctor-patient relationships. Now, instead of starting from a place of trust, they are starting from a deficit. This is not just bad for their careers; it’s bad for the patients.

The Harris-Walz campaign and abortion apologists continue to deceive Americans, both about Trump’s pro-life positions and the consequences of abortion initiatives.
Florida’s Amendment 4 ballot initiative is not about overturning the state’s six-week abortion ban. It is about inscribing an unlimited, unregulated access to abortion-on-demand for the entire nine months of pregnancy into the state constitution.
Trump knows this, which is why he is voting “no” on Amendment 4. Yet the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz campaign and abortion apologists continue to deceive Americans, both about Trump’s position and the consequence of abortion initiatives. Now, prolifers have a unique opportunity to use the focus on Trump to counter the left’s lies.

Trump’s recent pronouncements on abortion policy have left many prolifers distraught. But rather than denounce Trump and hand the Oval Office over to Kamala Harris—the most extreme pro-abortion candidate ever—the prolife movement should use the media attention Trump has brought to the issue to expose the falsehoods abortion apologists and the press continue to sell to the American public.
Prolife politicians and activists should begin with the fraud the left and the propaganda press are peddling over Florida’s Amendment 4 ballot initiative. Branded a “Right to Abortion Initiative,” the ballot initiative, if passed, would create a state constitutional right to abortion through birth. Of course, that’s not how abortion apologists portray Amendment 4, as demonstrated by both the Harris campaign and the legacy press’s response to Trump’s recent announcement that he would vote against the initiative.
On Friday, before taking the stage at a Pennsylvania rally, Fox New’s Bryan Llenas asked Trump whether he would “be voting yes or no on Amendment 4 in Florida.” Trump answered: “So, I think six weeks, you need more time than six weeks. I’ve disagreed with that right from the early primaries, when I heard about it, I disagreed with it. At the same time the Democrats are radical because the nine months is just a ridiculous situation, where you can do an abortion in the ninth month… And all of that stuff is unacceptable, so I’ll be voting ‘No’ for that reason.”
Notwithstanding that Trump reiterated his opposition to Florida’s six-week abortion ban, the Harris campaign posted on its X account, @KamalaHQ, “Trump says he will vote to uphold Florida’s 6-week abortion ban.” Harris then used her personal account to amplify the lie, sharing the @KamalaHQ post and adding, “[n]ow he’s voting for an abortion ban in the state where he lives.”
Soon after, the Harris-Walz campaign dispatched a statement from Kamala repeating the fabrication: “Donald Trump just made his position on abortion very clear: He will vote to uphold an abortion ban so extreme it applies before many women even know they are pregnant.”
Given that Trump was on video—the very video shared by the Harris campaign—expressly opposing Florida’s six-week abortion ban, one would think the public would see through the vice president’s lies. But that ignores the reality that the press overwhelmingly supports not merely the Harris-Walz campaign but also Democrats’ extreme position of abortion-on-demand.
ADVERTISEMENT
Thus, on Sunday we saw NBC’s Kristen Welker repeat the false narrative about Trump’s position on Florida’s six-week abortion ban on “Meet the Press.” After noting that “abortion is front and center this week,” Welker began her questioning of Republican Sen. Tom Cotton about abortion by representing that Trump “now says he’s going to vote to keep Florida’s six-week abortion ban in place, a law he once described as ‘terrible.’”
Unfortunately, after having previously corrected the many falsehoods Welker told about the Biden-Harris administration withholding arms shipments to Israel, the Arkansas senator skipped over the “Meet the Press” host’s fraudulent framing of Trump’s comments.
Yet given that, as Welker noted, abortion is “front and center,” every prolife advocate should use the focus on Trump’s comments about the six-week abortion ban to wake up Americans to what the various state constitutional initiatives do—which is install a regime of abortion-on-demand throughout the entire nine months of pregnancy.
The video of Trump stating his opposition to Amendment 4 made that point, but as Harris and the propaganda press quickly showed, they will nonetheless continue to deceive Americans, here, by pretending Amendment 4 is a ballot initiative about Florida’s six-week abortion ban. It is not.
To the contrary, the ballot initiative would add Amendment 4, entitled, “[l]imiting government interference with abortion,” to the Florida constitution. That provision states that other than parental notification laws, “no law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s healthcare provider.”
If Amendment 4 passes, Florida’s constitution would prohibit the state legislature from passing any laws that “delay” or “restrict” abortions before 22 weeks of pregnancy, including informed consent laws or waiting periods. Further, even after the baby can survive on her own outside the womb, the Florida constitution will prohibit any ban on abortion.
Prolifers need to make this point, but only after first explaining the nonsense of the idea that a post-viability abortion is ever needed. Post-viability, the proper standard of care to treat a serious medical condition is the prompt delivery of the baby—not the prolonged late-term abortion procedure. The only purpose a post-viability abortion serves is to ensure you have a dead baby, instead of delivering a live one.
If adopted, Florida’s ballot amendment will ensure precisely that, even for full-term fetuses. That’s because Amendment 4 prohibits the state legislature from delaying or restricting abortions where the women’s health-care provider concludes the abortion is necessary to protect the patient’s “health.” Voters should recognize that the amendment speaks of a patient’s “healthcare provider,” not a licensed doctor, leaving the determination to a wide variety of individuals in the health care field.
More significant is the initiative’s use of the word “health,” which reaches an unlimited array of justifications for an abortion that most Americans would not consider health-related. For instance, the World Health Organization advises that “countries permitting abortion on health grounds should interpret ‘health’ to mean ‘a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.’” Thus, even economic strain or the desire to keep a partner happy provide a supposedly “health”-related justification for a post-viability abortion.
Further, even if a court might limit the meaning of “health” to “physical” and “mental” health, abortion until the moment of birth would remain constitutionally protected by Amendment 4. That’s because the abortionist deciding whether the woman needs an abortion to protect her “mental health” can always rely on the American Medical Association’s position that women suffer worse mental health outcomes from being denied an abortion than from obtaining an abortion.
Trump is absolutely right, then, when he said that Amendment 4 is “radical because the nine months is just a ridiculous situation, where you can do an abortion in the ninth month.” Yet that is precisely what the Harris-Walz ticket supports. Also, unlike Trump, who has also denounced Florida’s six-week abortion ban, Vice President Harris has never professed that it is ever too late for an abortion.
Here, for all Harris’s efforts to paint Trump as an abortion extremist, it is the vice president, Democrats, and their supporters in the press who advance the extreme position of legal abortion until birth. In fact, the overwhelming majority of countries ban abortion on demand in the second trimester, with the United States “one of only 15 countries in the United Nations that permit abortion on demand past 15 weeks of gestation. . .” Polls also show that 65 percent of Americans believe that abortion should be banned at 20 weeks or before.
Trump’s view that the six-week ban is too early likewise coincides with public opinion, with only 36 percent of surveyed Americans supporting a ban at six weeks. While prolife advocates understandably object to such early abortions as they, like all abortions, end an innocent human life, Trump is not the problem: He is merely a mirror reflecting societal views shaped by 50-plus years of abortion advocacy dehumanizing the unborn.
Thus, rather than focus on the Republican candidate’s imperfect views, pro-life politicians and advocates would better serve the interests of the unborn by co-opting the media attention spurred by Trump’s comments on both the six-week abortion ban and Amendment 4 to counter the lies of the Harris-Walz campaign that the propaganda press will continue to parrot until November.

Kamala constantly comments on how awful Israel’s defense against Islamic terrorists is, but has nothing to say about the attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh.
Last week we had the big loud debate over what race Kamala Harris is. As I’ve said before, I don’t think she’s anything.
Her identity is as negotiable as anything else. And like Obama, it doesn’t fit the American identity politics calculus anyway.
Like a lot of Jamaican and Indian immigrants, she’s a member of a high-achieving minority group (who is admittedly a lot dumber than the average Indian and Jamaican immigrant) with some family ties, but little sense of belonging to anything beyond a social class.
Kamala’s cooking session with Mindy Kaling gets at how Indian she is which is as much as your average liberal Jew is Jewish.
They picked up some things growing up, mostly foods, a few words, and fond memories, but no real sense of identity, belief, or commitment.
Over in Bangladesh, a color revolution by Marxists and Islamists, cheered on by the media, has set out to demolish the country as an independent secular state.
Call it a smaller Arab Spring with no Arabs (except the ones remotely funding all this) and it has more than slight echoes of the massacres by Islamists (including some who fled to America and became political players) during the battle over Bangladeshi independence.
Like all Islamic movements, a primary goal is to massacre non-Muslims, in this case Hindus.
The media has mostly ignored or downplayed the attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh, much as it previously did the Muslim massacres of Chinese in Indonesia or of Christians in Nigeria.
The New York Times even justified them as “revenge” because the Muslim majority attacking a non-Muslim minority are still oppressed.
Kamala constantly comments on how awful Israel’s defense against Islamic terrorists is, but has nothing to say about the attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh.
Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, who is Indian, offered a belated statement urging an end to the violence.
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries claimed, “I am deeply concerned and saddened by the violence, casualties and human rights abuses in Bangladesh over the past weeks and offer my condolences to the families of the victims, including within the Bangladeshi-American community that calls Brooklyn home. Recent developments and new leadership must bring with them respect for democratic principles and the rule of law and a commitment to investigating the attacks, calling for accountability for those responsible and demanding justice for the victims. Under the leadership of the Biden-Harris administration, the United States will continue to closely monitor the situation unfolding and we encourage all parties to refrain from further violence.”
And yet there’s been nothing from the ‘Harris’ part of the Biden-Harris administration.
Kamala, when it was convenient, pretended to be the “first Indian-American senator”.
Now when Hindus are facing violence, she couldn’t even be bothered to make a statement.

“Israel will be gone. One year, two years. Israel will no longer exist,” the GOP nominee for the White House warned.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump warned at a campaign rally in Wisconsin on Saturday that Israel would be “doomed” if his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, is voted into the White House on Nov. 5.
“If I don’t win this election, Israel, with comrade Kamala Harris at the helm of the United States, is doomed. Israel is doomed. That’s a tough statement. Israel will be gone. One year, two years. Israel will no longer exist,” the former president told supporters in the city of Mosinee.
Trump pledged to bring stability to the Middle East and to stop another world war from breaking out.
“We’ll end the chaos in the Middle East and I will prevent World War III, and I’m the only one who can do it. I will prevent World War III,” he said.
“I better win, or you are going to have problems like you’ve never had. We may have no country left. This may be our last election,” Trump added.
The GOP leader made similar remarks in a live video address to the Republican Jewish Coalition‘s Annual Leadership Summit in Las Vegas last week.
At a campaign rally in Pennsylvania in August, Trump said that Jews in the United States are facing their greatest threat since World War II.
“What’s happening with Israel and Jewish people, there has never been a more dangerous time since the Holocaust if you happen to be Jewish in America.”
The Trump campaign is appealing to Jewish Americans and Israel supporters disillusioned with the direction of the Democratic Party as well as courting Jewish Republicans, launching Jewish Voices for Trump last month.

As you know, I’m a Jewish woman who has worked for many years, very closely with like-minded, evangelical Christians. My Christian friends have supported me throughout the years, worked to get Trump elected, and always stood firmly against the rise of Jihad in America.
In fact, in 2018, I went on a trip to Israel with my friends over at The United West @TheUnitedWest, where we were at the ceremony of the historic American Embassy transfer from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem! This was only made possible by President Trump!
The United West gave me some verifiable information about evangelical Christians who are already registered Republicans but did NOT vote in 2020 in six key swing states. I thought that out of all voters who didn’t vote in 2020, the Christian vote would be the quintessential definition of low hanging fruit since Christians are under attack in our country.
We all know the 2020 race was decided (or shall we say stolen) in those six states, but I never realized how critically important the Christian vote was for the 2024 election in those exact same battle ground states.
The research I have posted below suggests and explains that Donald Trump will either win or lose in November based upon whether evangelicals who did NOT vote in 2020, actually come out to vote in November.
In the video below, the “Swing-State” Chart http://TheUnitedWest.org produced is absolutely SHOCKING!
You can also download this chart on their website.
Every swing state GOTV org should have this chart.
We need to get the word out to all of the Christians in these states who did NOT vote.
They need to see just how impactful their votes are, so to please show them the negative impact it had in 2020 when they didn’t come out to vote.
Let’s not replicate the disastrous last 4 years of the Biden-Harris regime, and let’s make a decision to vote for Donald Trump in 2024.
I will be putting out a lot of information for Christians in Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia and Pennsylvania.
Watch this short video, go to http://TheUnitedWest.org, download the “Swing-State Chart” and post it all over the place, and please share it with the Christians you know in the six key swing states.

22 WORDS is a compelling documentary that delves into the profound consequences of removing prayer and the Bible from American schools, as set in motion by a series of landmark court cases in 1962 and 1963.
Theose rulings have contributed to a decline in societal values, marked by rising divorce rates, teenage pregnancy, suicide, violent crime, and the growing acceptance of pornographic content and LGBTQIA+ agendas in schools.
As traditional moral anchors have been replaced by harmful content and agendas, 22 WORDS advocates for a cultural shift and bravely calls for the reintroduction of school-sponsored prayer and the Ten Commandments across the nation.

The vast land of the United States was once inhabited by a relatively small number of indigenous people. These native “Indians” lived throughout the land for thousands of years and will always remain the first inhabitants of what is now the United States. These native people helped the pilgrims survive the winter. Later, European immigrants came, and the number of settlements finally outgrew the native Americans.
Then, on July 4, 1776, America declared independence from England, the old white grandfather across the sea. The miracle of America happened, and its dynamic birth rapidly changed the entire world.
America developed into thirteen colonies, then into the strong 50 states she is today. In a very short time, America grew from a log cabin settlement to the world’s largest and most technologically powerful economy. The United States is a nonpareil icon and the envy of the world. In many surprising ways, America resembles the great ancient Persian Empire. Like the Persians, who rarely regret the past, Americans always believe “the best days are ahead.” Like the ancient Persian Empire once was, the United States is the greatest country in the world. Like the ancient Persians, who were the first-world managers and the most tolerant empire-builders, America, by its constitution, is also the most tolerant and benevolent nation in the world.
Ancient Persian kings released the Jews from Babylonian captivity, financed the re-establishment of their country, and restored their national religion. (Zionists, they were!) America has done the same. In a strange sense, America is a reincarnation of Persia, an extension of the Achaemenid Empire. No wonder the immigrant Persians (Iranian-Americans) hold the United States very close to their hearts and have blossomed here in their new home. Unfortunately, tragedy reigns in the land of the old Persians. The remnants of the great Persian Empire were swallowed up by the Muslim conquerors storming out of Arabia. An oppressive version of Islam eviscerated the spiritual life of tolerant old Persia. It has taken centuries for the Persians (modern Iranians) to recover their spirit. Zoroastrianism, the original Iranian religion, was not an effective barrier against the radical, murderous version of the religion from the Arabian desert. Zoroastrianism has not rebounded with the new Persian nationalism today.
The Persian Renaissance lies in the spirit of the Iranians themselves. This spirit alone can overcome the Islamists who rule as tyrants. Unfortunately, tragedy reigns in the land of the United States today, and it is up to the people to use the American spirit and get our country back on track. Nations and empires do indeed have “life cycles.” Many historians have studied this throughout the years, and all have come to the same conclusion: a lifetime of about two centuries.
And they all seem to go through the same life cycle: “from bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependency; from dependence back again into bondage.” (Alexander Tyler, 1750). Where are we in this cycle? “We, too, have gone from bondage to spiritual faith; from faith to great courage which established our precious liberty, which, in turn, has given us unprecedented abundance that has made us the world’s envy. That abundance, however, has led to complacency and apathy. (If you ask the average person, What is the biggest problem in America? Is it ignorance, or is it apathy? They will probably respond, “I don’t know, and I don’t care!”
To make matters worse, a noisy clique of local leftists, “useful idiots” with a suicide wish, are doing all they can to take the country with them to the grave they so earnestly seek. On both sides of the Atlantic, these self-appointed squatters of the higher ground are riding so high on their high horse that they are blind to the realities down on earth. When events such as this come to light, it almost makes one wonder if we are merely witnessing a march toward European-style Socialism or are we witnessing a march toward a Totalitarian state.
We live in an unpredictable era. It is like watching a train wreck in slow motion, except, regrettably, we are the passengers sitting on that train. History provides ample illustrations of the disastrous consequences of the collapse of law and order. “In ancient Greece, the first disorder symptoms were a general loss of respect for tradition and the degradation of the young. Among the early symptoms was the decline of art and entertainment. The philosophers and pundits distorted the medium of communication. Rhetoric became combative and intolerant; intellectuals began to deride and attack all the traditional institutions of Hellenic society.” Ibid., 35-36.
America is still the last haven of hope where humanity can flourish. The world owes a great deal to America for inspiration and practical accomplishment. Americans have helped every other nation in the world. America’s enemies decry her greatness, yet they want to be in America and to be American. We must remember that the Constitution is the charter that lights this country’s path. I’m afraid I have to disagree with those who are more than willing to violate the Constitution and call it little more than a body of suggestions that can be disregarded when expedient. To us, the Constitution should be our nation’s most sacred document. The document binds its vastly diverse constituents as equal, loyal members. The law-abiding American people should join with heroes today and express our love for America. America is far more than a country. It is a place of greatness, where the souls and strength of our founding fathers still dwell side by side with modern heroes, and all heroes, past and present, need to unite to preserve America. Together, we can write our own history as a people and take our country back.

Welp. This is one. Has Campbell jumped the shark on this one? Or is the unbelievable true? or is it as he says, given that he links to peer reviewed papers from Japan and South Korea. Or was he set up to publish this to destroy his credibility for being over the target for so long now on so much government and phrama-fraud?
Watch and decide.
Also it is possible that this is a sort of crystallization phenomenon and may not be a deliberate effect of the vaxx, but some sort of Crystal structure that forms from some component in the vaxx.

Vice President Kamala Harris claims to be a champion for women, but many facts tell a different story.
Harris speaks pro-women rhetoric, but fails to protect women and girls from assaults in locker rooms.
Harris endorsed a new Biden-Harris administration rule expanding Title IX protections to gender identity and sexual orientation, requiring schools receiving federal funds to allow males into female spaces such as restrooms and locker rooms, or into any activity currently separated as male or female.
Initial Title IX rules—signed into law by a Republican president more than 50 years ago—protect women and girls against sex-based discrimination, allowing girls to flourish in school and on extracurricular sports teams.
Regrettably, this final rule redefining “female” also threatens free speech on campus, protects teachers unions, and obstructs due process protections for students accused of sexual harassment on campus.
Harris also fails to protect women and girls from sexual assault as they seek to cross illegally into America at the U.S. southern border. Sexual assault rates of migrant women coming to the United States is shocking, yet Harris embraces policies that incentivize further illegal immigration and human trafficking.
Reports vary widely on the scope of the sexual violence, which speaks to the lack of concern that Harris embodies. Amnesty International reported:
Rape is widespread. It is believed that as many as six out of every 10 migrant women and girls experience sexual violence during the journey.
A 2017 report by Doctors Without Borders found 1 in 3 women traveling through Mexico are sexually assaulted. A United Nations estimate found among women crossing without husbands or families, up to 70% suffered some type of abuse.
The rampant sexual abuse is perpetuated and grows the more policies like those from Harris and President Joe Biden encourage millions to enter the United States illegally. For example, under former President Donald Trump, the “Remain in Mexico” program and other immigration policies substantially slowed illegal immigration flow. Harris and Biden reversed Remain in Mexico, and the United States has experienced record, earth-shattering illegal immigration flows. Supposedly empowered to mitigate the so-called root causes of illegal immigration from Central American and South American countries, Harris instead stood idly by.
Even CNN is conceding that Harris is now a hypocrite for using Trump’s border wall in her new political ad to claim she supports controlling illegal immigration. CNN found more than 50 instances since 2017 of Harris slamming Trump’s border wall, with labels like “useless” and “racist.” But now Harris is running ads touting Trump’s wall.
News producer for CBS praised terrorists, had contacts with terrorists as a member of the Gaza City municipality council.
A CBS News journalist in Gaza praised terrorists at an official event of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and had contacts with terrorists as a member of the Gaza City municipality council, an HonestReporting investigation revealed.
Marwan al-Ghoul has been working as a CBS News producer in Gaza for more than two decades, and his affiliation with a proscribed terror group, as well as his official public role in the Hamas-ruled Strip, raise alarming questions regarding the network’s journalistic standards.
Here are the details of what HonestReporting has discovered, based on Arabic media reports and Al-Ghoul’s Facebook page. It is the latest in a series of exposes unmasking Gaza’s biased reporters.
PFLP Links
In 2018, Al-Ghoul was among the speakers at an official PFLP event commemorating one of the prominent members of the terror group who was also Al-Ghoul’s relative.
According to the PFLP website, Al-Ghoul spoke on behalf of the family, which “expressed their gratitude to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and their esteemed comrades everywhere in the Palestinian land . . . for their . . . commitment to continue the struggle.”
Al-Ghoul praised the group’s terrorists, emphasizing his relative’s dedication to “maintaining the noble national values established by the leading martyrs, such as Al-Hakim, Abu Ali Mustafa, and Wadie Haddad, and those who followed their path of struggle and martyrdom.”
The PFLP is a proscribed terror group whose members were involved in deadly attacks against Israelis, including suicide bombings, stabbings and shootings.
The fact that Al-Ghoul was invited to address an official event of the group suggests his (and his family’s) affiliation with it is deep. The effect such an affiliation might have on his “journalistic” work cannot be underestimated.
Official Role
Al-Ghoul also cozied up with the terror group’s officials as a member of the Gaza City municipality council.
In 2022, a news report showed him smiling next to Gaza City mayor Yahya Sarraj as they hosted a PFLP delegation to discuss “issues of concern to citizens and ways of cooperating.”
What could possibly be discussed in such a meeting? How to better embed terrorists amid the civilian population?
That would not be far-fetched to assume, considering that back in 2022, the IDF revealed that an Islamic Jihad rocket was launched from a location owned by the Gaza City municipality. It misfired and killed two Palestinians.
Referring to the Gaza City mayor, the IDF spokesperson’s unit said at the time that “Sarraj chose to take care of the terrorist organization Islamic Jihad more than the residents of the city he heads, and he abused public space that belongs to the residents of the city for terror. This is how he harmed his citizens directly.”
According to an announcement on his Facebook page, Al-Ghoul resigned from his membership in the city council in November 2022. It’s not clear how long he served, why he resigned, whether he got paid to do the job, and if so by whom.
But according to a Fatah official quoted by WAFA, Gaza municipal council members are appointed by Hamas. And according to Reuters, Hamas is the body in charge of paying public sector workers.
The Palestinian Authority’s Ministry of Local Government may be in charge on paper, but de-facto, Hamas runs the show.
In any case, AL-Ghoul’s profile photo still appears on the official website of the Gaza city municipality, with a bio that presents him as a “media professional working with several Arab and international channels,” as well as a “member of the Municipal Council.”
What’s clear is that such a public role, in an enclave ruled by terrorists and where terrorists are hosted by the mayor, cannot be done without problematic ties. Especially for a journalist who needs to cover political and civilian issues objectively.
Celebrated Journalist
None of that seemed to bother CBS News, which either turned a blind eye to Al-Ghoul’s activities, or had no idea about them.
The network relied heavily on his work at the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war and praised his “journalism.”
Unsurprisingly, Al-Ghoul’s reports from Gaza are typical — they include destruction and victims, not Hamas terrorists.
And it might also be because, as the head of the Mayadeen media Group, Al-Ghoul had long lasting ties with the Hamas-run Government Media Office. In 2008, he delivered a panel in a workshop organized by the office on “the freedom of journalistic work under the Israeli occupation” (although Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005.)
Al-Ghoul is not a journalist. Like many other Gaza “reporters” who work for respected Western media outlets, he is a propagandist, at best, or a terror collaborator, at worst.
CBS News should not celebrate his work, but be ashamed of it.
