Sam Brinton, the deputy assistant secretary over a nuclear waste program within the Energy Department,  is an acknowledged “non-binary drag queen” and a self-proclaimed “kink activist” (dog fetishes a specialty) who also once billed himself as the “first gender fluid person in federal government leadership,” The Free Press reported in February.

The Biden administration’s drag queen show has delivered yet another award-winning performance. Cops have charged the “non-binary” thing in charge of the nation’s nuclear waste with a felony for stealing a suitcase at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

Sam Brinton — who wears dresses, lipstick, and stiletto heels to his job at the U.S. Department of Energy — faces up to five years in the slammer and a $10,000 fine if convicted.

Though Brinton whimpered his excuses to cops, video surveillance shows him taking the bag from the airport’s carousel. He even used it for a trip to Europe.

Not “Completely Honest”

A graduate of MIT, the nancy-boy is in serious trouble, Alpha News reported.

On September 16, a woman who landed in Minneapolis on a flight from New Orleans didn’t find her bag at the carousel. But the bag had, indeed, arrived.

“Airport records confirmed the navy blue Vera Bradley roller bag arrived at 4:40 p.m. but was missing,” Alpha News reported. “So law enforcement reviewed video surveillance footage from the baggage claim area and observed Brinton removing a navy blue roller bag from carousel seven, according to a criminal complaint.”

A Vera Bradley suitcase can cost more than $500.

Whether Brinton broke a nail removing the bag we are not given to know. But the surveillance video shows that he acted like a guilty man, even if he is “gender-fluid.” That leftist neologism means he shifts from one “gender” to another.

“The complaint says Brinton removed a luggage tag from the bag, placed it into a handbag he was carrying, and ‘then left the area at a quick pace,’” Alpha News continued:

Brinton arrived at MSP Airport around 4:27 p.m. on an American Airlines flight from Washington, D.C., but did not check a bag, meaning he had no reason to visit baggage claim, according to the complaint.

Police showed the surveillance video to the victim and she confirmed it was her bag.

Brinton left the airport in an Uber for a stay at the InterContinental St. Paul Riverfront hotel, where he checked in with the blue bag, the complaint says.

He returned to the airport on September 18 to fly back to Washington, D.C., cops allege, then used the bag for a trip to Europe, surveillance video shows.

From there, Brinton’s tale gets as queer as a $3 bill. When a cop called Brinton and asked him if he “took anything that did not belong” to him, he flat-out lied:

“Not that I know of,” Brinton allegedly responded. He later admitted to taking the bag but said the clothes inside were his, according to the complaint.

“If I had taken the wrong bag, I am happy to return it, but I don’t have any clothes for another individual. That was my clothes when I opened the bag,” he told police, according to the complaint.

Two hours later, Brinton called the cop and confessed that he wasn’t “completely honest,” but added that he took the bag because he mistook it for one of his own.

“He realized the bag didn’t belong to him when he opened it up at the hotel but ‘got nervous’ and didn’t ‘know what to do,’” Alpha News continued:

Worried that people would think he “stole the bag,” Brinton told police he left the victim’s clothes in the drawers in the hotel room, according to the complaint.

Brinton said he brought the bag back to D.C. with him because it would have been “weirder” to leave a bag in the hotel room, according to police.

Police told Brinton how to return the bag to Delta, but as of Oct. 27 the victim still had not received her bag back.

Brinton is on leave from his job as deputy assistant secretary of the Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition. He goes to criminal court in Hennepin County, Minnesota, on December 19.

Child Prostitution Advocate

Bad as stealing the bag might be, the chrome-domed cross-dresser has done worse, as The New American reported in July.

When federal agents arrested the boss of a website called Rentboy.com, which promoted underage prostitution, Brinton turned fuchsia.

“The federal government’s recent attack on Rentboy.com is a devastating assault on some of the most vulnerable members of our community — young adults who, for the first time in their lives, were able to earn a secure living safely through Rentboy after surviving family rejection and homelessness because of their sexual orientation or gender identity,” the man who now runs America’s nuclear waste policy wrote for a “gay” newspaper.

Selling themselves to older perverts, he continued, was the boys’ only “lifeline out of homelessness, despair, and the dangers of living on the street.”

Indeed, the underage prostitutes’ “main source of income has been ripped away due to irresponsible and archaic views of sex work.”

In other words, Brinton backs the sexual exploitation of underage boys.

Beyond that, Brinton is also involved in something called “pup play,” which involves a “master” and another kook who masquerades as a dog.

That such an individual would find a job in the Biden administration is not surprising. His transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg, thinks he is married to a man. Biden’s No. 2 health official is a man who calls himself “Rachel,” believes he is a woman and wants to chemically castrate teenagers before puberty.

Biden also picked a cross-dresser to run the Defense Department’s transition.

The Trump special counsel is a career hack with a record of going after conservatives

BY DANIEL GREENFIELD

When Bruce Wasserstein, a billionaire backer of the Clintons, provided a $25 million donation to Harvard Law, future Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan, then serving as dean, welcomed it. The gift built on the Wasserstein Fellows Program already established at Harvard Law which brought “outstanding public interest lawyers” to Harvard and provided them stipends of up to $24,000 to meet with and influence students toward social justice at the prestigious law school.

When Jack Smith became a Wasserstein Fellow, even while, unironically, serving as head of the Department of Justice’s Public Integrity Section, seemingly soliciting and accepting a grant funded by a leftist billionaire (but who watches the integrity of the head of the Public Integrity Section) he joined a list of leftist activist lawyers working for the ACLU, Earthjustice, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, Soros’ Open Society, Catholic Charities and the UN.

The mission of the Wasserstein Fellows was to gather “a diverse group of accomplished public interest lawyers who are enthusiastic about sharing their passions with law students on how to utilize their legal education to promote social justice.” Those passions included illegal migration, letting criminals get away with committing crimes, and dismantling America.

How the DOJ’s Jack Smith would go about promoting social justice was a question that was answered twice. At least twice in public view where everyone could see and hear it.

The latest came when Attorney General Garland picked Smith as the Special Counsel to go after Trump. But before that anyone wondering what Jack Smith did to be chosen as a social justice lawyer would have had to be paying close attention to the IRS scandal that took place a year before he was made a Wasserstein Fellow.

Under Obama, the IRS and the DOJ had illegally targeted conservative nonprofits in order to silence political dissent. While Lois Lerner, sourly testifying before Congress, became the profoundly unsympathetic face of the IRS, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee revealed who was playing a key role in criminalizing dissent.

“The Justice Department convened a meeting with former IRS official Lois Lerner in October 2010 to discuss how the IRS could assist in the criminal enforcement of campaign-finance laws against politically active nonprofits. This meeting was arranged at the direction of Public Integrity Section Chief Jack Smith,” the Committee stated.

According to the Republican National Lawyers Association, “Public Integrity Section Chief Jack Smith told investigators that officials at the Justice Department discussed targeting conservative nonprofit groups with Lerner as early as October 2010.”

A year later, Smith became a Wasserstein Fellow.

Despite all this, Smith flew under the radar. While Lois Lerner was denounced, Smith remained virtually as anonymous as his name, including his actual name, John Smith, but Smith was just doing his job. Not on our behalf, but for those who had put him in his role.

Smith had been handpicked to run the DOJ’s public integrity section by Lanny Breuer.

Breuer, Bill Clinton’s Special Counsel who defended him during his impeachment hearings, and then Sandy Berger, after he stole classified documents from the National Archives to cover up Clinton’s actions, had been brought in by Obama to head up DOJ’s criminal division.

The Clinton consigliere, widely disliked, distrusted, and hated even by fellow Democrats and lefties over his connections and client list, a man whom no one in D.C. believed had an ounce of integrity, then brought in Jack Smith to do some of his dirty work.

Would Lanny Breuer have picked anyone with integrity to head public integrity?

New York Times review of some of Breuer and Smith’s cases appears to focus almost entirely on Republicans, touching on names like Sen. John Ensign, Rep Tom DeLay, Rep. Jerry Lewis, and Rep. Don Young, while mentioning the convictions of Rep. Rick Renzi and Gov. Bob McDonnell: respectively pardoned and overturned.

Public integrity under Obama meant targeting Republicans. It still does under Biden. Much as it did under the Clintons. Three corrupt administrations united by their abuses of the DOJ.

When a new day seemed to be dawning after Trump’s victory, Jack Smith made a timely exit from the government and became the head of litigation for the Hospital Corporation of America.

The Hospital Corporation of America (HCA) had become stocked with Obama administration veterans a few years earlier.

Marilyn Tavenner, almost as much of a staple of Obama scandals as Lois Lerner, who had headed the disastrous Obamacare rollout and tried to explain why the website wasn’t working, had come out of HCA. Nancy-Ann DeParle, the architect of Obamacare, became an HCA director.

Their real purpose of the HCA-Obamacare connection wasn’t to implement things on the consumer side but to help broker a dirty deal that brought HCA on board with Obamacare. When King v. Burwell was poised to take on Obamacare, the HCA filed a brief on behalf of the illegal program to defend the exchanges as part of the dirty deal that it had made with the Obama administration.

Even as future Senator Rick Scott, the ousted former CEO of HCA, campaigned against Obamacare, warning, “If we have more government involvement we’re going to have dramatically worse health care”, Biden boasted of the HCA joining a deal to “cut costs” to make Obamacare work.

With that kind of history, Jack Smith going to work for HCA made a lot of sense.

To ordinary people, Smith’s career, at the DOJ, war crimes prosecutor in Yugoslavia, and as the head of litigation for a hospital chain seem interestingly random. They do have one thing in common.

These were all priority projects of the Clintons.

Hillary Clinton had been obsessed with a government takeover of healthcare long before Obama. The disastrous intervention in Yugoslavia was a Clinton project. And the Clintons had been fixated on seizing control of the DOJ and punishing their political enemies.

That is what the DOJ began to do from Hillary’s abuse of FBI files to Russiagate.

Even Smith’s role as a Wasserstein Fellow has a familiar ring to it.

Bruce Wasserstein had a history with the Clintons. When Rahm Emanuel left the Clinton White House, he got a job running Wasserstein’s office in Chicago. And before long, the Clinton adviser and future Obama Chief of Staff and Mayor of Chicago had made $16 million.

Wasserstein did more than just host fundraising events for Bill Clinton, alongside Alec Baldwin, not to mention donating to Hillary Clinton, Gore, Schumer, and so many other Democrats. (Although he was also briefly Mitch McConnell’s brother-in-law.) On his passing, the corporate raider was praised for his “passion for social justice”. He never saw Hillary Clinton rise and fall.

It may be a coincidence, but Smith’s resume is what one might expect of a federal careerist with Clinton connections. Even his extended European vacation was the sort of thing that Clintonites used to build up their resumes. That resume became outdated in the Obama era, but Smith still seemed able to hit a lot of the right notes.

Smith was even named one of the “International Gender Champions” and claimed that he was “strongly committed to working with my Office to ensure that gender equality, as part of diversity and inclusion, is a key consideration to everything we do.”

There is one curious final note as to how Smith was picked as the Specialist Prosecutor for the Yugoslavia war crimes trials in the Hague. Smith was chosen in 2018 “after a selection process organized by the European Union” and was “appointed by the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo mission head, Alexandra Papadopoulou”. In 2020, Papadopoulou, a Fulbright Scholar, became Greece’s ambassador to the Biden administration.

Washington D.C. may appear small compared to some other major cities, but it’s a vast hive of careerists, contractors, consultants, lobbyists, and activists all scurrying around the stone and glass buildings, the eateries, and shops, whose relationships to each other are as entangled as they are hostile to us. As George Carlin once said, “it’s a big club and you ain’t in it.”

Jack Smith is a lifetime member of the club. And now he’s been given the biggest job of his career. It’s not one that is likely to reap much in the way of immediate rewards. Just ask Bob Swan Mueller III, but it’s an act of public service to the political network that runs D.C.

And parts beyond, into the European Union, which helped contribute to Russiagate.

Since Smith’s leg was broken after a bicycle accident (a hazard in the Biden administration), he’ll be running the investigation of Trump from Europe. And no one finds it odd that an investigation of a former president will operate from the capital of the European Union.

But it’s not like we run our own country anyway.

The upper echelons of the administrative state are a network of political alliances by ambitious men and women looking for the next rung to power. They don’t work for us. Instead, they serve their sponsors and use political connections to navigate the public-private career ladder.

The media is already building up Smith’s mythos. “A  Justice Department lawyer out of central casting,” the New York Times gushed, with a “grizzled mien”. And, “an idealist and a brilliant independent thinker and a gutsy lawyer”. Central casting always needs good actors to play the part and fool the people long enough for the next phase of the plan to kick into action.

And, at least unlike Bob Mueller and Joe Biden, Jack Smith probably knows where he is. And he knows who really runs things and whom he needs to serve to get that next big job.

UK: Muslim said he wanted to ‘kill the nonbelievers,’ ‘I want to burn Christianity, have holocausts like Hitler’

Tarek Namouz said: “We will take control of all people by force and by the ruling of Sharia law.”

Where are all the Islamic apologists to explain to us that Sharia is entirely benign and has nothing whatsoever to do with violence or coercion?

Namouz also referred to “striking the necks.”

Where did he get that idea?

“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4)

“Barber shop owner ‘sent £25,000 to ISIS terrorist in Syria to buy weapons after receiving taxpayer-funded Covid grants’ as court hears he ‘wanted holocausts like Hitler,'” by Duncan Gardham and Martin Robinson, MailOnline, November 24, 2022 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A former pub landlord turned barber shop owner sent £25,000 to ISIS fighters in Syria for weapons after claiming thousands of pounds in taxpayer-funded Covid grants, a court heard today.

Tarek Namouz, 43, from West London, had received money from the government to assist his business, Boss Crew Barbers, during the Covid 19 pandemic, and lived in a third-floor flat above the shop.

The former pub landlord is accused of boasting that the terrorists he is accused of funding have ‘incinerators like Hitler’. In WhatsApp messages read to court he also allegedly said: ‘I want to burn Christianity, we have incinerators and holocausts like Hitler, a lesson from history’.

He is accused of sending money on at least seven separate dates between November 2020 and April 2021, which was intended to fund a militia in Syria.

John McGuinness KC, prosecuting, told the jury: ‘At the time you may remember the Covid pandemic was very much ongoing in 2020 and 2021 The defendant was periodically in receipt of Covid grant relief from his local authority, Hammersmith and Fulham.’

When police raided the barber’s shop in Blythe Road, Olympia they found cash and a hidden mobile phone containing messages to a contact in Syria, an ISIS bomb-making video and a video showing how to kill with a knife.

In the months leading up to his arrest, he transferred money using Trust Money Transfers on Edgware Road, sending it to Syria, where he had lived until he was aged 14.

Mr McGuinness told the jury at Kingston Crown Court: ‘He would generally give cash to the bureau which would be converted into Syrian pounds and sent overseas as cash’ where it was received by a man called Yahya Ahmed Alia.

The former pub landlord boasted the terrorists he is accused of funding have ‘incinerators like Hitler’ in a WhatsApp exchange with Mr Alia, the court heard.

He allegedly said ‘I want to burn Christianity, we have incinerators and holocausts like Hitler, a lesson from history’ in an exchange on Arabic the app uncovered on his Samsung phone.

Mr Alia replied ‘Shia, Alawites and Druz’ to which Namouz allegedly said ‘100 per cent’.

The pair also talked up plans to kill non-believers, behead opponents, carry out public executions in the streets and display bodies following an anticipated victory in a battle for control of the country’s capital Damascus, the trial was told.

In one exchange Namouz is said to have written: ‘We will take control of all people by force and by the ruling of Sharia law.

‘Whoever is not happy can get lost/he can leave.

Later in the exchange he refers to ‘striking the necks’ and ‘slaughtering with the knife.’

He then says ‘I swear to Allah we will cause chaos’ and ‘kill the non-believers’.

In the exchanges Mr Alia said ‘Whoever is not happy, a bullet in their head, I don’t want a single person alive who would oppose Sharia’.

Mr Alia also told him ‘we’re in an excellent situation now’ after purchasing Kalashnikovs and a gun to which Namouz is said to have replied ‘great, blessing.’

Officers identified seven transfers between November 2020 and April 2021, for a total of about £11,280.

‘The prosecution say the seven sums set out were not the only money sent out, there was other money sent for which the prosecution does not have any records,’ Mr McGuinness said.

During a bugged conversation in August 2021, with a friend who was visiting him in prison after his arrest, Namouz allegedly said that police knew about some of the transfers but did not know he had transferred more and referred to sending £25,000 to the same man in Syria….

Namouz does not dispute he made the transfers but initially claimed he had sent money out to help those who were ‘poor and needy’ in Syria, the jury was told…

Federal Reserve set to introduce privacy-crushing digital currency that can be ‘controlled’ and ‘programmed’ by government bureaucrats

Right before Thanksgiving, our trusted leaders in D.C. did what they did best: They pushed forward controversial policies while YOU weren’t watching. In this clip, Glenn details how the Fed began its ‘Central Bank Digital Currency’ program last Wednesday afternoon, while Americans were busy preparing for the holidays. Plus, Glenn explains another, big decision the Biden administration made that very same day...

Say Good Bye To Your Freedom: Fed Announces CBDC Trial

After FTX Scam, Federal Reserve Makes its Move With a Digital US Dollar

(Natural News) When Barack Obama was in the White House and Democrats controlled Congress for his first two years in office, they passed a bill dubbed “Obamacare” that was the first step toward giving federal government bureaucrats complete control over Americans’ health care.

Since all Americans require medical care during their lives, the move was seen by critics as the ultimate authoritarian move; after all, if the government controls all healthcare decisions, tyrannical government bureaucrats could then begin to dictate behaviors and reward or punish people based on behavior.

Now, the government is attempting yet another major authoritarian move: The creation of a “digital currency” with the endgame objective being to control behaviors through “programmable” money that can influence and/or block certain spending habits.

“The Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s Innovation Center, or NYIC, announced that it would be launching a 12-week proof-of-concept pilot for a central bank digital currency, or CBDC,” Coin Telegraph reported this week.

The outlet continued: “In a Nov. 15 announcement, the New York Fed said the program would explore the feasibility of an ‘interoperable network of central bank wholesale digital money and commercial bank digital money operating on a shared multi-entity distributed ledger’ on a regulated liability network. Banking giants including BNY Mellon, Citi, HSBC, Mastercard, PNC Bank, TD Bank, Trust, U.S. Bank, and Wells Fargo will be participating in the pilot by issuing tokens and settling transactions through simulated central bank reserves.”

Mind you, the participating banks are advertising this simply as a concept to make interoperability more feasible, but make no mistake, this ‘test’ is research: The Fed wants to develop and then hone this technology so that a ‘programmable’ digital currency can be introduced to the general public for the express purpose of controlling spending habits by favoring or disfavoring products (think ‘yes’ for electric cars, solar panels, and fake ‘meat’ but ‘no’ for cigarettes, alcohol, gasoline, and anything deemed ‘harmful to the planet’).

“The NYIC looks forward to collaborating with members of the banking community to advance research on asset tokenization and the future of financial market infrastructures in the U.S. as money and banking evolve,” NYIC Director Per von Zelowitz said in announcing the pilot program.

“Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank President Esther George said in an interview that inflation is at risk of growing entrenched in the economy, making it difficult for the Federal Reserve to fight inflation without a recession. George said that labor is the driver of inflation now, rather than supply chain or production shortages, and the real challenge for policymakers is prematurely ending rate increases,” private intelligence firm Forward Observer reported in a note to subscribers earlier this month.

An accompanying analyst comment noted: “Fed officials have previously waved off the risk of recession, so this admission is significant. George is now saying the proverbial quiet part out loud, as [Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome] Powell has been engineering a deliberate recession since last year.”

Now, as an engineered recession is upon us, the same Fed will be introducing a digital currency that it can manipulate on behalf of the wishes of the deep state permanent government.

N.Y. Fed said in a statement: “This U.S. proof-of-concept project is experimenting with the concept of a regulated liability network. It will test the technical feasibility, legal viability, and business applicability of distributed ledger technology to settle the liabilities of regulated financial institutions through the transfer of central bank liabilities.”

“The NYIC looks forward to collaborating with members of the banking community to advance research on asset tokenization and the future of financial market infrastructures in the U.S. as money and banking evolve,” said Per von Zelowitz, Director of the New York Innovation Center.

…’as money and banking evolve.’

Why do either of these have to “evolve” in the first place?

Senate Report on Domestic Terrorism Names White Supremacy As the Chief Problem

BY LINCOLN BROWN

SEE: https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/lincolnbrown/2022/11/29/senate-report-on-domestic-terrorism-names-white-supremacy-as-the-chief-problem-n1649425;

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

Recently, the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, chaired by Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) released the report “The Rising Threat of Domestic Terrorism.” The chief concern? White supremacist groups. The fourth paragraph of the Executive Summary reads:

“Since 2019, DHS and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have repeatedly identified domestic terrorism, in particular white supremacist violence, as the most persistent and lethal terrorist threat to the homeland, including in multiple threat alerts provided to Congress and law enforcement agencies across the country. Despite this acknowledgment and multiple analyses, plans, and National Strategies across multiple Administrations, this investigation found that the federal government has continued to allocate resources disproportionately aligned to international terrorist threats over domestic terrorist threats.”

The report says that the federal government has failed to track and report data on domestic terrorism, despite congressional requirements to do so. It also blames social media platforms and their algorithms for guiding people into dangerous content and names QAnon and Pizzagate as two examples. The report lists nine examples of racially motivated or anti-Semitic attacks starting in 2015 with Dylann Roof, who shot nine black people at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C.

Among other things, The report’s Findings of Fact include the following:

  • Domestic terrorism has been increasing over the last several years, surpassing international terrorism as the most significant terrorism threat to the United States.
  • White supremacist extremists pose the primary threat among all domestic violent extremists.
  • Domestic terrorism attacks have been plotted using, and inspired by, content on social media.
  • In 2019, DHS publicly acknowledged white supremacist violence as a major threat to national security for the first time, despite being aware internally of the severity of the threat for 10 years.

The report also states:

On March 2, 2021, FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before Congress that ‘the problem of domestic terrorism has been metastasizing across the country for a long time now and it’s not going away anytime soon.’ On September 21, 2021, Director Wray testified before this Committee that FBI’s domestic terrorism caseload ‘has exploded, prompting FBI to double the personnel working on those cases in the past year. At the same hearing, National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) Director Christine Abizaid testified that:

‘…the threat from domestic violent extremists (DVEs)—in particular, racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists, or RMVEs, and militia violent extremists, or MVEs,—has increased since 2015 and will most likely persist, in part because the factors that underpin and aggravate their motivations—like social polarization, negative perceptions about immigration, conspiracy theories promoting violence, and distrust of government institutions—will probably endure.’”

The full report is available here.

As regular readers may recall, earlier this month, PJ Media ran a story on a report from the Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee entitled “FBI WHISTLEBLOWERS: WHAT THEIR DISCLOSURES INDICATE ABOUT THE POLITICIZATION OF THE FBI AND JUSTICE DEPARTMENT.”

The lengthy report included examples of problems such as the Biden administration weaponizing the DOJ and FBI to aggressively pursue the administration’s enemies, labeling people racists, fascists, and terrorists, while ignoring the transgressions of its friends. The report states that the Washington Field Office of the FBI has falsely manipulated data to show a rise in domestic terrorism. It also mentions how the FBI targeted parents who opposed CRT and sexually-related curricula in schools. The full report is available at the link to the story above.

To say that there are absolutely no violent white supremacist groups in the U.S. would be folly. But the report from the House Republicans would indicate that the threat is not as dire as Democrats would have us believe. The Senate report is more than just a response to that document. It is more than a refutation. Democrats are well aware that while the GOP will not have the massive majority in the House that was either anticipated or feared, there will be enough of a majority to bring things to light that Democrats would prefer to keep hidden. This is a pre-emptive strike that involves Democrats doing whatever they can to keep the focus off of them. And of course, it is part of laying the groundwork for a presidential victory in 2024.

White House COVID Doc: The Way to ‘Move on’ From COVID Is Endless Boosters

BY BEN BARTEE

SEE: https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/benbartee/2022/11/29/white-house-covid-doc-the-way-to-move-on-from-covid-is-endless-boosters-n1649411;

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

In a sadistic and disorienting rhetorical flourish, White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha, COVID Warlord Fauci’s diverse protégé, declared that the best way to “move on” from COVID-19 is actually to submit to an endless booster campaign for eternity.

“Despite aggressive messaging, U.S. vaccination rates remain low,” reads the ABC News chyron.

“People aren’t listening. What do you do?” asks the near-hysterical news actor, her voice inflecting upwards at the end of the question to indicate frustration.

“It’s been obviously a long two and a half years,” Dr. Jha begins. “We understand that people want to move on. The good news is that people can move on if they keep their immunity up to date.”

“Move on” doesn’t mean what they apparently think it does.

Notice the presumption buried in Dr. Jha’s answer: it’s up to the Public Health™ experts to decide when and how Americans can “move on” from COVID. Individuals have no agency; they are subjects of the state whose behavior is dictated by technocrats who make decisions for them. Their adulthood is swapped for a sort of biomedicalized infancy, in which they are not trusted to live their own lives and make their own risk assessments.

The Public Health™ experts have been publicly floating the idea of changing the definition of “fully vaccinated” to include recent boosters for over a year now. Presumably, they have only held off because they fear doing so would garner too much public backlash.

As Jha laments in the clip above, commiserating with the exasperated corporate news actor who asks “what do we do?” to coerce more Americans into getting the booster, uptake of the boosters is still extremely low. Enough people have figured out the con game to matter, and they want off the booster treadmill.

But rest assured that, if they thought Chinese-style “Zero-COVID” policies were possible, they would require regular boosters to work, go to school, or even go to a restaurant. They always push the agenda as far as possible without risking total revolt.

Fauci recently had the audacity to even suggest shutting schools down again — likely just to put out a feeler to see what more draconian measures the feds can get away with and to gauge the public backlash that the proposition might spur.

This is how power-hungry technocrats always operate. Push, push, push to the breaking point, take the foot off the gas temporarily to release the pressure, and then go back to pushing as soon as the public is lulled back into apathy.

DELAWARE FAMILY POLICY COUNCIL: THE (DIS)RESPECT FOR MARRIAGE ACT IS NOT RESPECTFUL

Cyber-Monday... While many of us are looking for deals and preparing for Christmas, Democrat leaders in Washington are working aggressively to pass the worst attack against religious liberty.

Delaware's Congressional representation - Senators Coons and Carper, and Representative Lisa Blunt-Rochester - have voiced their full support for HR 8404, the so-called Respect for Marriage Act.

SUPER IMPORTANT, PLEASE KEEP READING - BE INFORMED
This federal legislation, the 'Dis'Respect for Marriage Act allows churches and religious organizations to be targeted for adhering to the Biblical definition of marriage.
TARGETED! HOW?
By now, you've probably received multiple messages about this federal bill; our national allies have been sounding the alarm. Here's why:
The 'Dis'Respect for Marriage Act: 

  • Further embeds a false definition of marriage in the American legal fabric.
  • Opens the door to federal recognition of polygamous relationships.
  • Opens the door for the IRS to deprive churches and religious organizations of their tax-exempt status.
  • Makes religious organizations and businesses a target for lawsuits based on their belief about marriage.
  • Claims to respect the beliefs of religious entities on marriage, but does nothing to protect the right to act on that belief.
It's Blatant. The sponsors of this act are not hiding their agenda. 
Learn more here from our friends at Alliance Defending Freedom about why this bill must be voted down in the Senate today.
Senators Carper and Coons and Rep. Blunt-Rochester have been including false statements in their responses to Delaware constituents. Here are examples:
LIE #1: "The bill is quite limited in scope. If the Supreme Court were to overturn its decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, the Respect for Marriage Act would not require any state to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples."

TRUTH: This bill is not limited; it has massive implications for religious organizations. Because states currently recognize same-sex unions as marriages, this bill basically guarantees that individuals, religious organizations, and faith-based entities including churches, will be penalized for not complying by adhering to the Biblical, traditional definition of marriage between one man and one woman.

LIE #2: "The Respect for Marriage Act does not require any religious institution to perform or sanctify marriages that violate its teachings."

TRUTH: But it does - because those that do not comply can be sued for being in violation of this Act. THERE ARE NO PROTECTIONS.

The supporters of the bill made clear that religious organizations are the target. They rejected a proposed amendment to protect religious organizations. Instead, they passed a weaker amendment that merely pays lip service to religious liberty, but does nothing to prevent the lawsuits that are sure to come.

LIE #3: Religious organizations are safe from having their tax-exempt status taken even if they fail to comply with the Respect for Marriage Act.

TRUTH The 'Dis'Respect for Marriage Act frames the adherence to Biblical, traditional marriage as discrimination - thus leaving the door wide open for the IRS to revoke tax-exempt statuses from religious organizations that do not comply with this Act in their organizational support for the Biblical definition of marriage. 

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
🌑 Talk about it! Use this as an opportunity to educate - that means speaking the truth to Senators Coons and Carper, and Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester.

🌑 Support our work. We are often the first call for counsel when organizations in our state are being threatened.

We're in this together. When people stand with courage, we stand with them and offer support and resources.
Here's My Giving Tuesday Gift!
 🔥 During this time of unprecedented attacks on religious liberty, it will take strategic resistance on the state level to defend our rights.

  • Your support allows us to be vigilant, recognizing the danger when it comes and alerting people like you.
  • Your support allows us to create easy and effective ways for thousands to take action.
  • Your support allows us to bring in national experts to defend our faith, family, and freedom in the court system.

Here's My Giving Tuesday Gift!
...From the beginning of creation, 'God made them male and female.'  'Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.' So they are no longer two but one flesh.

What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.

A Nest of Ninnies: UK Office of Budget Responsibility Declares More Migrants Help Spur Economic Growth

BY HUGH FITZGERALD

SEE: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2022/11/a-nest-of-ninnies-uk-office-of-budget-responsibility-declares-more-migrants-help-spur-economic-growth;

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

The nest of ninnies in the U.K. government keeps trying to convince an increasingly skeptical public that the steady stream of migrants – most of them Muslim and many of them illegal – now entering the U.K. – are a positive benefit to the economy, and hence the British, far from trying to limit immigration, should encourage it. This bizarre twist on the truth can be found here: “Cutting immigration means higher taxes,” by James Kirkup, The Spectator

Is it true that this largely Muslim immigration is a boon to the U.K.? We know that in the year ending (YE) in June 2022, the net international migration, which is the difference calculated between immigration and emigration within the same period, was estimated at 504,000, an increase of 331,000 compared with the YE June 2021 figure of 173,000. This is a colossal increase. The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) seems to think that is a Good Thing.

‘Only the higher-than-expected numbers of migrants coming to the UK under the post-Brexit migration regime adds materially to prospects for potential output growth over the coming five years relative to the assumptions that we made in March.’

That’s from the Office for Budget Responsibility’s (OBR) assessment accompanying the Autumn Statement. It’s a pretty striking line: the state’s official analyst of the public finances says that the only good thing to happen to the UK economy since March is higher immigration.

Here, I can only say something rather childish: I told you so. No doubt this immigration outlook will make some people unhappy. Justifiably, too. It isn’t what they were promised, at least by the current Home Secretary. Suella Braverman said she wants net migration to fall below 100,000 – though to be fair, she said that as part of the Truss government in October.

James Kirkup belongs to that small group of Conservatives who have convinced themselves that migration has been an economic boon for the U.K. Fortunately, the majority of Conservatives take a much less sanguine view of the migrant invasion.

We need to ask a few questions of these British enthusiasts of migration. Are they aware that more than three-quarters of the migrants now flooding into the U.K. are Muslims? Are they aware that many Muslim migrants in the U.K. are not true asylum seekers, as they claim to be, but rather, economic migrants, determined to take advantage of all the generous benefits that the British government — that is, the British taxpayer – offers? Among those benefits are subsidized or free housing, free medical care available from the National Health Service, free education, and family allowances that increase with each child (Muslim families are much larger than those of the indigenous British, and derive the greatest benefit from this support), and unemployment benefits even without ever having been employed. The amount the National Health spends on Muslims is unusually high, it needs to be pointed out, because of the prevalence of congenital ailments among Muslims. This is the result of inbreeding, with marriages between cousins being encouraged. In a low-trust culture, it makes sense to keep marriages, and hence property, within the extended family.

Muslims who feel the need to supplement those benefits sometimes turn to crimes of property – robbery, and burglary. Muslims exhibit an unusually high rate of criminality; they make up 4% of the U.K. population, but 20% of the prison population. To the costs of all those benefits that Muslim economic migrants take full advantage of, we must add the cost of their high rates of criminality. This criminal activity requires that more government money be spent on police, detectives, prosecutors, court-appointed lawyers, prosecutors, judges, prison guards, and prisons. This all adds up to a very great sum, though, as far as I can tell, no one has actually calculated the precise cost to the British government of the economic benefits that Muslim migrants lay claim to, being content to simply note that annually, it runs into the billions of dollars. The average cost to the British government of incarcerating a single prisoner is $75,000, with rapists, murderers, and terrorists requiring the highest security, which makes them the most expensive to incarcerate. Muslims constitute close to one-quarter of the rapists and murderers in British prisons, and nearly all of those convicted of terrorism in the last twenty years (there is still a handful of aging IRA men in UK prisons).

Adding the cost of all the government benefits Muslim migrants take full advantage of to the cost of arresting, putting on trial, and then incarcerating Muslim criminals, gives us an annual figure of tens of billions of dollars. And this is only the economic cost. There are other great costs to society, not susceptible to measurement. What kind of dollar or pound figure do we assign to the damage done to many thousands of English girls, the victims of Muslim grooming gangs in two dozen English cities, who were seduced, given drinks and drugs, and then passed around to be shared as sexual objects? We cannot put a dollar figure on the despair and human ruin that the Muslim grooming gangs in the U.K. have caused, but that does not mean that despair and ruin aren’t real.

How do we put an economic value on the increased sense of insecurity felt by British women in some neighborhoods where they used to think nothing of going out at night alone? Muslims have been known to prey on Infidel women, whose dress suggests to Muslims that they “are just asking for it”? What about the anxiety felt by Jews who know that if they wear identifiable Jewish dress – kippahs and Star-of-David pendants, not to mention shtreimels and tallit worn by Hasidim going to the shul — they can expect at some point to be attacked by Muslims, not only in London, Manchester, and Birmingham, but also in Paris, Rome, and even New York? And what is the negative value we assign to the appearance of No-Go neighborhoods, where a dominant population of Muslim migrants makes outsiders – the indigenous non-Muslims whose country these migrants have invaded – distinctly unwelcome, and even the police and firemen do not enter without protection?

So let’s go back to that report by the OBR that prompted this piece, the report titled: “The U.K. Office of Budget Responsibility declares that more migrants help spur economic growth.”

Just one question. What are those people at the U.K. Office of Budget Responsibility smoking?

CDC study: COVID-19 mRNA shots increase risk of myocarditis by 13,200%

Image: CDC study: COVID-19 mRNA shots increase risk of myocarditis by 13,200%

BY OLIVIA COOK

SEE: https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-11-28-cdc-study-covid-vaccines-increase-myocarditis-risk.html;

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

(Natural News) A study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) revealed that the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines increase the risk of myocarditis (heart muscle inflammation) by 13,200 percent.

It examined the effects of vaccination using the mRNA COVID-19 injections from Pfizer and Moderna, based on the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). The cases were then cross-checked to match the CDC’s definition of myocarditis. A total of 1,626 cases of myocarditis had been examined.

According to CDC researchers, 105.9 myocarditis cases per million doses were recorded in the 16- to 17-year-old male cohort injected with the second dose. The 12- to 15-year-old male cohort, meanwhile, recorded 70.7 myocarditis cases per million doses following the second vaccine shot. Moreover, the 18- to 24-year-old male cohort also saw significantly higher rates of myocarditis for both the Pfizer (52.4 cases per million) and Moderna (56.3 cases per million) vaccines. (Related: Large Nordic study finds that mRNA COVID vaccines increase risk of myocarditis.)

The study authors ultimately concluded that the risk of myocarditis after receiving mRNA COVID-19 vaccines should be considered in the context of the supposed “benefits” of vaccination.

The public health agency, however, has doubled down on its insistence that adverse reactions after vaccination are rare.

“COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective, and severe reactions after vaccination are rare,” said the CDC. “Most patients with myocarditis or pericarditis after COVID-19 vaccination responded well to medication and rest and felt better quickly.

The agency also pointed out that “reports of death after COVID-19 vaccination are rare,” and that “reports of adverse events, including deaths, do not necessarily mean that a vaccine caused a health problem.”

McCullough: Post-vaccination reports of myocarditis are far from rare

Texas-based cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough, however, disagreed with the notion of myocarditis being a “rare” adverse event.

“In cardiology, we spend our entire career trying to save every bit of heart muscle. We put in stents, we do heart catheterization, we do stress tests, we do CT angiograms. The whole game of cardiology is to preserve heart muscle,” McCullough said in a statement to the Epoch Times.

“Under no circumstances would we accept a vaccine that causes even one person to sustain heart damage. Not one. And this idea that ‘Oh, we’re going to ask a large number of people to sustain heart damage for some other theoretical benefit for a viral infection,’ which for most is less than a common cold, is untenable. The benefits of the vaccines in no way outweigh the risks.”

Given the plethora of studies confirming a link between vaccination and myocarditis, the CDC has started active surveillance of adolescents and young adults to monitor their progress following heart-related incidents after vaccination. Long-term outcome data, however, are not yet available.

Meanwhile, the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology have advised that people with myocarditis should refrain from competitive sports for three to six months, and only resume strenuous exercise after a normal ECG and other test results are obtained. They have also advised that further mRNA vaccine doses should be deferred.

Homeschooling Surge Continues as States Relax Rules

Homeschooling Surge Continues as States Relax Rules

BY BOB ADELMANN

SEE: https://thenewamerican.com/homeschooling-surge-continues-as-states-relax-rules/;

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

The surge in homeschooling, aided and abetted by the pandemic, continues.

The pandemic revealed to many parents for the first time just what sort of socialist and cultural indoctrination their children were being subjected to in the public schools. The school shooting in Uvalde, Texas; the increase in the use and sale of drugs on campus; the imposition of CRT in place of real American history; bullying; and — oh yes — poor academic performance — all have figured into the new educational equation.

Initially, the number of students leaving public schools during the first year of the pandemic was staggering. At one point, instead of just three percent of all students being schooled at home, that percentage tripled. Among black families, it quintupled.

In Texas, for example, the percentage of students being homeschooled during the 2019-2020 school year was estimated to be 4.5%. The very next year the percentage nearly tripled, to 12.5%.

That surge continues thanks not only to the results being enjoyed by those homeschooled students in terms of educational excellence but also to the homeschool movement itself.

Taking Texas as an example, opting out of public schools is fairly simple and mostly unregulated. If a child is moving out of a public school, the parents are required to notify the local school district. The state then only mandates that the child’s learning at home is in a visual format (workbooks and online courses) and that the curriculum includes reading, grammar, math, and what Texas calls “good citizenship.”

South Dakota has taken notice and relaxed its homeschooling rules. Efforts of the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) paid off with the passage of Senate Bill 177, which ended the requirement that homeschooled students take standardized tests. Prior to that, if a student failed the tests, the state had the power to intervene.

An HSLDA attorney celebrated the victory:

It was a big win for parental rights. It cut out unnecessary regulation and streamlined the process so parents can invest their time in providing the best education they can for their children.

Similar victories or relaxations have occurred in Virginia, Illinois, South Carolina, Iowa, Idaho, Mississippi, and Utah, according to a study by The Epoch Times:

Beyond requirements that homeschooling parents teach a few core subjects like math and English, they are free to pick the content.

Another factor favoring homeschooling is flexibility. Homeschooling mom Kim Quon of Missouri reported to The Epoch Times that after finishing the required classes — usually from 8:30 to noon on weekdays — her children “had a lot of time left in the day to explore their own interests.”

And Quon had plenty of help from online sources:

I’m not a college graduate. So you don’t have to be a brainy person to homeschool your kids because there are so many resources and people available to help.

For another homeschooling mom, Linda McCarthy of Buffalo, New York, the decision to homeschool was easy. In public schools,

There are kids who don’t know basic English structure, but [the schools] want to push other things on children, and it can be blatant. But it can be, and mostly is, very subtle, very, very subtle.

So we were ready to pull [our children out] and will never send them back to traditional school.

The continuing growth of the homeschooling movement is especially encouraging to those involved in the freedom fight. Abraham Lincoln said: “The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.”

Eric Metaxas frequently voices his support for the homeschooling movement as being fundamental in the freedom fight, as does David Davenport, a fellow at the Hoover Institution: “If you are concerned about the direction of America, it is time to do something about the study of civics, which is the real long-term solution.”

This Thanksgiving, ‘The Nation’ Was Grateful for Abortions

“Abortion storytellers” celebrate their infanticides.

BY MARK TAPSON

SEE: https://www.frontpagemag.com/this-thanksgiving-the-nation-was-grateful-for-abortions/;

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

This past Thanksgiving Day was greeted with the usual chorus of anti-American diatribes from the miserable utopians of the Left. Wealthy celebrity ingrates like Bette Midler and John Leguizamo sneered at Americans and the holiday on social media (the John Wick actor tweeted, “Happy indigenous survivor’s day! F*ck thanksgiving!”). MSNBC’s resident race-monger Joy Reid accused Republicans of wanting to portray Thanksgiving as a “simplistic fairy tale” to cover up that America was founded on “genocide.” Even the head of terrorism-linked CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, lectured Americans about “the dark history associated with this holiday” and the “unspeakable atrocities” committed against Native Americans.

But nothing sank to the depth of the Left’s perverse worldview quite like a Thanksgiving Day essay in the radical rag The Nation titled, “We’re Thankful for Our Abortions,” which declared there’s literally nothing to be grateful for in our current state of the union except the endangered freedom to abort one’s own unborn children.

The essay’s author is Nikiya Natale (preferred pronouns “she/her”), deputy director of We Testify, a group created by the National Network of Abortion Funds (NNAF) that advocates for women who have undergone abortions. Her bio on the group’s website states that Natale’s “passion” for her work “stems from her own multiple abortion experiences.” Multiple “experiences.”

Natale claims in her Nation article that many of those who have had abortions “celebrate their experience”; some of the women themselves – We Testify “abortion storytellers” – then go on to detail their infanticides in the article and why they are “thankful” for them.

Predictably, like all social justice warriors who live in a state of ceaseless discontent over perceived historical injustices, Natale felt compelled to begin her essay by wondering “why our nation celebrates the complicated holiday of Thanksgiving at all” – “complicated” because America was “founded on the unforgivable genocide of Native Americans.”

“[T]he harsh reality is that the utter disregard for all Indigenous people in the 1800s fuels the same systems of white supremacy that dehumanize all of us today,” she charged.

Let’s pause for some fact checks: 1) The United States of America was founded not on genocide, but in the affirmation that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That this basic fact even has to be clarified shows how deeply the Left has subverted our youth through decades of anti-American historical revisionism; 2) isolated atrocities aside (and there were atrocities committed by both sides) the European colonial powers did not wage genocide against Native Americans; 3) America is demonstrably not a nation in the grip of “systems of white supremacy.” It is, however, in the grip of an irrational, anti-Western wokeness that has twisted any potential sense of gratitude in privileged young people like Nikiya Natale into a perpetual grievance. They can’t set aside their Marxist obsession with imagined power struggles for even one day in November to appreciate the freedoms and abundance that previous generations of Americans have struggled and fought to grant them.

“When I look at the state of this nation, the anger piles up, and my gratitude is depleted,” she complained. In all fairness to her, I confess I feel the same sense of anger, but for completely different reasons. When I look at the state of this nation, I see it riven by a not-so-cold civil war between people who love this country despite its historical and current faults, and people like Nakiya Natale who despise this country because all they want to see are its historical and current faults.

Anyway, despite the weight of the world bearing down on her as a social justice activist, she did manage to find a modicum of gratitude — for the right to end the lives of her unborn. Natale and her fellow abortion storytellers want not only to be able to “shout their abortions” without shame or guilt; they want their “choice” to be validated, preferably celebrated, by others. They believe as Natale puts it, that “people should be supported in whatever they decide, every time.” They want to end the “abortion stigma.”

Of all the things for which Americans could be grateful – rights and freedoms which exist nowhere else in the world, our historically unprecedented material prosperity, even the simple personal pleasures of family and friends – pro-abortionists like Natale and The Nation could find nothing to “celebrate” but their “experiences” of having terminated inconvenient pregnancies. Even more tragically warped, they demand that society cheer the fact that they have made an idol of sexual liberation and sacrificed their own unborn for it.

Pro-lifers don’t want to send anyone to jail or tar-and-feather them over abortion. We don’t want to shame young women into living with corrosive guilt. We don’t want single mothers or struggling young couples to be overwhelmed by the responsibility of unplanned children. We want to create a culture of life in which the least among us are protected, and in which abortion is not viewed as a casual, go-to solution. We want to reclaim a culture that recognizes the reality that sex was biologically designed for procreation, and therefore any time you decide to engage in it for recreation, you risk creating a baby (that decision is where one should exercise one’s “choice”). We want to reclaim a culture that prioritizes intact, fruitful families. The day that comes to pass, we can all truly celebrate together.

Colby Cosh: Jokes about sending tanks into Ottawa elucidate the ruling-class psyche

Documents published by the Public Order Emergency Commission show cabinet ministers Marco Mendicino and David Lametti talking about sending in Canadian Armed Forces tanks to deal with the Freedom Convoy – though Lametti said this was just "banter" between friends.

True North's Andrew Lawton said the 'just kidding' defense doesn't pass muster when the government ended up using wartime powers to deal with the protest.

Also, the Liberals are trying to expand their gun ban to include all semi-automatic guns. Rod Giltaca from the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights joins the show live to discuss why this will do nothing but criminalize law-abiding gun owners.

Read more about the ongoing inquiry into Trudeau’s abuse of the Emergency Act (formerly known as the War Measure Act) to “control” the Freedom Convoy, and his use of divisive rhetoric against opponents of his totalitarian act HERE. The inquiry has shown that “at no time” did the Freedom Convoy pose a threat to Canada’s security.

Despite the fact that the Convoy “at no time” posed a threat to Canadians, Trudeau and his cronies were so hostile to it that his cabinet went so far as to discuss “crushing Freedom Convoy with tanks.” This should scare all Canadians since it leads to the inevitable question: what does Trudeau have in store next for those who oppose him?

Canadians are at serious risk of losing their freedoms under the Liberal government of Justin Trudeau. Read also about Trudeau’s disturbing romance with China HERE.

“FIRST READING: Trudeau cabinet casually discussed crushing Freedom Convoy with tanks,” National Post, November 24, 2022:

Only days after Freedom Convoy first set up shop in the Ottawa core, federal ministers were casually discussing whether they should order the demonstration to be crushed with tanks.

The exchange was revealed in text messages tabled before the Emergencies Act inquiry. On Feb. 2 – just five days after anti-mandate protesters set up blockades in the national capital — Justice Minister David Lametti sent a text to Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino urging him to call in the Canadian Armed Forces.

“You need to get the police to move. And the CAF if necessary. Too many people are being seriously adversely impacted by what is an occupation,” Lametti texted to Mendicino.

“How many tanks are you asking for. I just wanna ask (Defence Minister) Anita (Anand) how many we’ve got on hand,” was the reply.

To which Lametti wrote back “I reckon one will do!!”

The texts were shown to Lametti during his Wednesday testimony. Commissioners did not specifically ask the justice minister whether he was seriously considering the deployment of tanks, and Lametti implied that it was a joke.

“In these kinds of interactions I’m interacting with a colleague and a friend, so there will be banter, there will be occasional attempts at bad humour on both of our parts,” he said.

Using heavy armour to dislodge an intransigent protest would mark a precedent never before seen in even the most violent examples of civil unrest from Canada’s past……..

Islamic Republic of Pakistan: 200 Christians left homeless after authorities bulldoze their homes without warning

BY ROBERT SPENCER

“Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy…” (Qur’an 8:60)

“200 Pakistani Christians left homeless after authorities bulldoze their homes without warning,” by Anugrah Kumar, Christian Post, November 26, 2022:

Two hundred Christian families remain homeless in Pakistan’s capital of Islamabad after a government agency bulldozed their homes and the church building they used for Sunday worship.

The government’s Capital Development Authority demolished the homes in a Christian area, Nawaz Sharif Colony in Islamabad, the U.K.-based group Centre for Legal Aid, Assistance and Settlement (CLAAS-UK), said in a statement to The Christian Post.

Christian residents had not been given any warning or time to remove their belongings before the demolition on Oct. 18, the group said in the statement this week, adding that the government agency also demolished a church, “but thankfully, there were no injuries or fatalities.”

The government has not provided any alternative place for the residents to live.

“These Christians have lost everything — their homes and all of their worldly possessions,” the group’s director, Nasir Saeed, said. “Many of them have lived in the colony for years, raising their families here and investing their life savings into building and maintaining their homes.”

Saeed added that the demolition came soon after the devastating floods in the country and an approaching winter.

More than 1,700 people were killed and hundreds of thousands of homes were damaged or destroyed in the monsoon floods, leading the government, which estimated losses to be worth $40 billion, to declare a state of emergency on Aug. 25.

“It is imperative that the Pakistani government financially compensate the Christians who have lost their homes and provide them with somewhere else to live,” Saeed said.

The home of a former councillor, Sabra Saeed Athwal, was also demolished. She called the demolition “a criminal act” and expressed fears that two other Christian colonies — Akram Gill and Rimsha — could also be demolished.

Athwal also fears that some extremist Muslims might have put pressure on the government agency to demolish the Christians’ homes, CLAAS-UK said.

“This injustice has happened as Christians in Pakistan and around the world prepare to celebrate Christmas in just a few weeks,” Saeed added.

Open Doors USA ranks Pakistan as the eighth-worst country in the world when it comes to Christian persecution. The U.S. State Department has named Pakistan on its list of “countries of particular concern” that tolerate or engage in egregious violations of religious freedom….

The U.S. Approves Oil Production, but You Won’t Believe Where

Charles Payne: Why is Biden allowing drilling in Venezuela, not here?

Charles Payne joined 'Hannity' to discuss the Biden administration's energy policies and decision to ease sanctions against Venezuela.

Once again, the Biden administration is content to allow ruthless dictators to sell their oil, while it won’t allow the U.S. to drill for and refine its own oil.

On Saturday, the U.S. granted an expanded license to Chevron to resume oil production — in Venezuela.

“The decision allows Chevron to revive existing oil projects in the U.S.-sanctioned country and bring new oil supplies to refiners in the United States,” reports Reuters. “However, it restricts cash payments to Venezuela, which could reduce the amount of oil available to Chevron.”

The move obviously benefits the Maduro regime in Venezuela by boosting its economy.

The terms of the license prevent Venezuela’s state-run oil company PDVSA from benefiting from the sale of Chevron oil; instead, the money will go to a humanitarian fund. The deal also blocks Chevron from helping Venezuela start new oil fields. The license expires in six months, but the U.S. will renew it monthly once that six-month period ends; however, the administration reserved the right to rescind the license at any time.

“This action reflects longstanding U.S. policy to provide targeted sanctions relief based on concrete steps that alleviate the suffering of the Venezuelan people and support the restoration of democracy,” read a statement from the U.S. Treasury Department.

The catch is that there’s no guarantee that the Venezuelan regime will go for the license since it contains so many restrictions.

“There is not a big incentive in the short term,” said Francisco Monaldi of Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy. “We’ll see how Maduro’s government reacts to it and how many cargoes will be assigned to Chevron after.”

All of this comes on the same day that representatives of the Venezuelan government and opposition leaders conducted talks in Mexico City to discuss a United Nations effort to benefit the Venezuelan people — something that wouldn’t be necessary if Marxists weren’t in charge of the country. The Mexico City talks could also determine how the Venezuelan regime responds to the license from the U.S. government.

It’s yet another example of the Biden administration’s energy policies benefiting other nations, particularly those that are hostile to the U.S., at the expense of America’s domestic production.

I’m old enough to remember when the U.S. was energy-independent. We produced our own plentiful oil. Prices were low, and the industry created thousands of jobs for hard-working Americans. Those days are a thing of the past.

The Biden administration killed U.S. energy independence from day one, destroying jobs and jacking up energy prices. Sure, these policies weren’t the sole source of the inflation that’s plaguing us right now, but they did serve as the steroids that beefed it up.

At the same time, these are the same people who expect hardworking Americans who sometimes struggle to make ends meet to give up their gas-powered cars for expensive electric vehicles. Remember, it’s so simple to “ride on sunshine” when you buy an electric car, the average price of which is $64,249 as of October 2022.

“The average starting price for the top 10 best-selling electric cars in America is $60,500, but all except the Tesla models are subject to dealer markups,” reports Justin Fischer at YAA,” (emphasis in the original), who also points out that “more drivers are getting squeezed into $1,000/month car payments” for electric vehicles.

Add to that the fact that everything we’re paying for is getting more expensive in part because of fuel costs, and the administration’s license to Chevron to produce in Venezuela is even more maddening.

The truly simple solution is to restore America’s energy independence, but why would the Biden administration do that when it could prop up a Marxist nation instead?

As ‘Palestinian’ Jihad Terrorists Wound American Girl, Biden Upgrades Ties With Jihad Terrorists

At least one person was killed and 19 wounded in two explosions at bus stops.

Another day, another Islamic terrorist attack in Israel by the “Palestinians” who have been terrorizing Israel and the world with the support of leftists, Islamists, and international diplomats.

At least one person was killed and 19 wounded in two explosions in bus stops at separate entrances to Jerusalem on Wednesday morning, in what police are treating as a coordinated double terror attack.

The explosive placed at the scene of the first terrorist bombing attack in Jerusalem on Wednesday morning was a powerful device containing explosives and black metal screws made of hard material which were placed inside the device in order to increase the severity of the damage.

Hundreds of people gathered for the funeral of Aryeh Shechopek, 16, a Canadian-Israeli resident of Har Nof who was killed in the bombing attack in Jerusalem on Wednesday morning.

Shechopek was on his way to yeshiva and was waiting for the school bus when the bomb placed by a Palestinian terrorist detonated, mortally wounding him and injuring 18 others.

Rabbi Naftali Schreiber, the principal of the school where Shechopek learnt, eulogized him at the funeral. “A year ago, I eulogized a member of Aryeh’s class, I didn’t think I would be eulogizing another student from the same class.”

Naomi Pilichowski, an 18-year-old Israeli American was injured in the bombing at the entrance to Jerusalem on Wednesday morning.

Pilichowski is the daughter of Uri Pilichowski, a Jerusalem Post columnist and a known American-Israeli educator who works at Nefesh B’Nefesh. The family moved to Israel eight years ago.

Biden is going full speed ahead with attacking the incoming Israeli government by upgrading ties with the terrorists.

The Biden administration notified congress on Tuesday that it has appointed Hady Amr as a new special representative for Palestinian affairs, a senior State Department official said.

Why it matters: The move is an upgrade in U.S.-Palestinian relations. It is the first time the U.S. has created a Washington-based position at the State Department that is solely responsible for Palestinian Affairs.

The creation of the new post is also meant to upgrade the U.S.-Palestinian relationship and diplomatic representation as much as possible given the U.S. consulate in Jerusalem, which served as the U.S. diplomatic mission to the Palestinians, has yet to reopen, according to a U.S. official.

As I reported when Biden first elevated Hady Amr, he’s a blatant terrorist sympathizer.

“I was inspired by the Palestinian intifada,” Hady Amr wrote a year after September 11, discussing his work as the national coordinator of the anti-Israel Middle East Justice Network.

Biden has now chosen Amr as a Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Israel-Palestine.

“I have news for every Israeli,” Amr ranted in one column written after Sheikh Salah Shahada, the head of Hamas’ Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, was taken out by an Israeli air strike.

Amr warned that Arabs “now have televisions, and they will never, never forget what the Israeli people, the Israeli military and Israeli democracy have done to Palestinian children. And there will be thousands who will seek to avenge these brutal murders of innocents.”

He also threatened Americans that “we too shouldn’t be shocked when our military assistance to Israel and our security council vetoes that keep on protecting Israel come back to haunt us”

The future State Department official was making these threats less than a year after 9/11.

Biden’s upgrade of ties with the PLO rests on empowering a terrorist sympathizer while continuing to attack and undermine Israel even in the face of ongoing terrorist attacks on Israelis, Jews, and even on Americans.

Biden Says He Wants to ‘Get Rid’ of 20 Million ‘Assault Rifles’

BY RICK MORAN

Joe Biden has been running for president for 40 years, which has to be some kind of record. His ambition to be president has perhaps only been surpassed by former Minnesota governor Harold Stassen.

Stassen was elected governor at age 31 in 1938 and was immediately anointed as “the future” of the Republican Party. He ran for the GOP presidential nomination in 1944, losing to Tom Dewey, and then again in 1948, 1952, 1964, 1968, 1980, 1984, 1988, and 1992.

Stassen allowed his ambition to be president to overshadow what was a relatively successful career as governor. In the end, he became the butt of jokes — fodder for late-night comedians.

Biden was also elected to high office at a young age. He was 30 when he was sworn in as a Delaware senator and was pegged, like Stassen, as the future of his party. But like Stassen, Biden allowed his ambition to dictate his career. He ran unsuccessfully for president in 1988, and despite being mentioned prominently as a candidate in later years, it wasn’t until 2008 that Biden made another serious run for the nomination. Despite his failure, Barack Obama needed a “moderate” to “balance the ticket” and ended up choosing Biden.

Biden’s overweening ambition to be president was fulfilled largely because he was the last man standing in 2020. Now, Biden’s ambition has taken flight again. Perhaps seeing the writing on the wall that 2024 is out of the question, he’s now trying to build his legacy.

Joe Biden wants to rid the United States of “assault weapons.”

“The idea we still allow semi-automatic weapons to be purchased is sick. Just sick,” Biden said on Thanksgiving Day. “I’m going to try to get rid of assault weapons.”

We “allow” them to be purchased because the Second Amendment says we can. But Biden’s choice of words — that he will “try to get rid of assault weapons” — is telling. The idea of getting rid of 20 million guns should frighten anyone who cares about the Constitution and American liberty. It’s this kind of rhetoric that forces ordinary Americans to think the government is coming for their guns.

Associated Press:

When Biden and other lawmakers talk about “assault weapons,” they are using an inexact term to describe a group of high-powered guns or semi-automatic long rifles, like an AR-15, that can fire 30 rounds fast without reloading. By comparison, New York Police Department officers carry a handgun that shoots about half that much.

A weapons ban is far off in a closely divided Congress. But Biden and the Democrats have become increasingly emboldened in pushing for stronger gun controls — and doing so with no clear electoral consequences.

“I think the American public has been waiting for this message,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) told AP.

“There has been a thirst from voters, especially swing voters, young voters, parents, to hear candidates talk about gun violence, and I think Democrats are finally sort of catching up with where the public has been.”

Do the American people want “gun control”? They certainly don’t want the government going on a gun-grabbing spree and taking their Constitutionally-protected property. But realistically, Democrats are talking about reviving the 1990s-era ban on “assault weapons” that ended up being a huge mess as the government could never quite define what an “assault weapon” was. When the time came to reauthorize the “Assault Weapons Ban” ten years later, the political will to do so wasn’t there.

Banning weapons is not the answer. With 20 million assault-style weapons in the U.S. alone, initiating a ban on the sale of them won’t save a single life. But it will allow Democratic politicians to go to the voters, pointing to the ban, and say, “See? We’re doing something about the gun problem.”

That will work until the next mentally disturbed teenager listens to the voices in his head and goes to school with a gun.

UK: Children at Islamic Republic of Iran School sing song that references apocalyptic myth about massacering Jews

Iran’s New Islamic Propaganda Song Likened To Nazi Brainwashing

Children were brought to a gathering to hear "Hello Commander"

'Hello Commander' become social phenomenon: report

Yes, there is an Islamic Republic of Iran School in London. Why? Because Britain is mad.

00100154

“Children chant massacre-Jews song at North London school,” by David Rose, The Jewish Chronicle, November 24, 2022:

An Iranian propaganda video in which dozens of children sing a song that references an apocalyptic myth about massacring Jews was filmed at a school just 15 minutes’ walk from the New London synagogue in St John’s Wood, a JC investigation has revealed.

In the video, shot earlier this year in the playground of the Islamic Republic of Iran School (IRIS) near Queen’s Park station, the children sing about joining 313 mythical warriors in a conflict against the infidels, when (according to the present Iranian regime) Israel will be obliterated and Jews killed.

Some scenes were also shot at the nearby Islamic Centre of England (ICE), which is controlled by the Iranian regime and linked to the school. ICE is currently the subject of a statutory inquiry by the Charity Commission, as the JC disclosed last week.

The song, entitled Hello Commander, has been praised by Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who claims its popularity proves his people’s “loyalty to the system”, Iranian pro-regime media has reported.

Its recording in St John’s Wood, in easy reach of several synagogues and Jewish centres, has raised serious concerns among community security officials.

In the London video, rows of boys in white shirts and pressed black trousers and girls in blue flares, white blouses and matching hijabs can be seen saluting and singing their allegiance to their “commander”, Ayatollah Khamenei.

The children, aged between eight and 15, sing: “Without you, this life has no meaning. This life comes alive when you are here for me.”

They then sing about fighting in history’s final battle for the mythical leader known as the Mahdi, last seen supposedly almost 1,200 years ago.

Shia theology says the Mahdi will return to Earth to lead Muslim forces in the war of the apocalypse, accompanied by an elite band of 313 fighters — including, the song suggests, the children in the video.

They sing: “We wait for under the flag of our leaders. Tell me beloved, will you arrive soon? May Allah hasten your reappearance…

“We may be young but do not see us as too young. For you I will rise up and you will not see me fall. From the 313, you will see I will answer the call… Take my oath of loyalty as a warrior and servant.”…

Mir Abbas Hussein, a spokesman for the ICE, denied that what he called the “local” version of the song had this meaning.

He told the JC that he accepted that IRGC leaders said Israel must be obliterated before the Mahdi’s return, but said there was “nothing in the [religious] books about destroying Israel” and the song as recorded in London “is nothing to do with a political agenda. Here we focus on religion.”

The ICE’s constitution stipulates that one of its trustees will always be the UK’s personal representative of Ayatollah Khamenei.

Versions of the song recorded in Iran and elsewhere dominate the country’s official airways.

A report by the pro-regime Iran Press News Agency states: “Hello Commander educates the new generation on the ambitions of the Islamic Revolution and encourages them to be guardians to protect those ideals, which is seen as a step towards promoting the revolution among the generation to come.”…

The school is owned by the Iranian government and ICE’s previous director Mohammad Shomali, the previous ICE director and reportedly its Khamenei representative, has spoken there.

The ICE has received £139,000 from taxpayers under the Covid furlough scheme. Meanwhile, the school’s pastoral and educational standards have been scathingly criticised by Ofsted….

The ICE has hosted numerous speakers over many years who have spewed a torrent of Jew-hatred. In recent weeks, these included an ayatollah who says Jews were responsible for killing of Muslims in Burma and that Zionism “harms all mankind”.

The ICE is one of several centres across Britain and Europe that are controlled by Iran. Police and security services uncovered links to terrorism at one pro-regime hub in Germany.

The ICE and its northern UK counterpart, the Manchester Islamic Centre, have hosted prominent Labour politicians including Jeremy Corbyn the year before he became party leader. He made a speech at the ICE in 2014 on what he called “The Case for Iran”….

Khamenei chants ‘Death to America,’ mocks Biden as ‘poor, demented’ man

Meanwhile, Biden’s handlers still hope to revive their catastrophic appeasement package known as the Iran nuclear deal.

“Iranian Supreme Leader Mocks Biden As Demented As Nuclear Deal Negotiations Stall,” by Alana Goodman, Washington Free Beacon, November 23, 2022:

Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei mocked President Joe Biden as a “poor, demented” man and led a crowd in chants of “death to America” during a speech on state television on Saturday.

Biden turned 80 on Sunday, and his age and declining mental sharpness have been a matter of public speculation since his election in 2020.

Khamenei’s comments come as the Biden administration said this week it is still interested in reaching a nuclear deal with Iran, despite a reported stalemate in the negotiations and the Iranian government’s ongoing violent crackdown on nationwide anti-government protests.

In Khamenei’s speech, which was translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, the Iranian leader claimed that the Islamic Republic’s “advancement” was “intolerable and unbearable for the West.” He criticized U.S. presidents since the 1979 Iranian revolution, singling out Donald Trump as a “dope” and Biden as “demented.”

“America is at the forefront of this campaign by the enemy,” said Khamenei. “All the American presidents, in the decades that have passed since the revolution, have fought the Islamic Republic on that front.”

“Some of them have dropped dead, and some have been cast in the garbage bin of history, even if still alive,” said Khamenei. “This includes the previous dope [Trump] and this poor, demented incumbent guy [Biden].”

At one point in the speech, the crowd launched into a chant of “death to America.”

The Biden administration still has hope that it can reach a nuclear deal with Iran, despite concerns from members of Biden’s own party that the agreement wouldn’t hinder Iran’s nuclear ambitions and would end up sending more funding to the terrorist-financing regime.

U.S. ambassador to Israel Tom Nides this week said a nuclear deal with Iran is “not off the table,” although the Biden administration is “nowhere close” to reaching an agreement with the regime.

“Nothing’s ever off the table,” said Nides. He added that Iran has been an unwilling partner and he was “not holding my breath for any negotiation with the Iranians in this current form.”…

Iran’s Khamenei Mocks ‘the Previous Dope’ and ‘This Poor, Demented Incumbent Guy’

His country is in turmoil, with his citizens everywhere calling for an end to his vicious, inhumane regime, but Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, supreme leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, still found time to offer a trenchant analysis of the American political scene, including acidic characterizations of Donald Trump and Old Joe Biden. He also led loyalist crowds in chants of “Death to America.” Meanwhile, Biden’s handlers reiterated that they were still hoping to conclude a new nuclear deal with the mullahs. Yes, they’re that crazy.The Washington Free Beacon reported Wednesday that “Khamenei’s comments come as the Biden administration said this week it is still interested in reaching a nuclear deal with Iran, despite a reported stalemate in the negotiations and the Iranian government’s ongoing violent crackdown on nationwide anti-government protests.”This comes even as Khamenei, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), claimed that the U.S. and the West just couldn’t stand to see the Islamic Republic prospering:

The problem that the West and the arrogant [U.S.] have with the Islamic Republic is that it is advancing and flourishing. Everyone has seen this advancement and is acknowledging it. This is intolerable and unbearable for the West. Their problem is that Iran is advancing. Had we not made any progress, had we not demonstrated a strong presence in the region, had our voices quivered while facing America and the arrogant [West], and had we been willing to accept their bullying and aggression, then all this pressure [on Iran] would have subsided. Obviously, in such a case, they would have come here and taken over, but the sanctions, the pressure, and so forth, would have subsided.

It takes a particular kind of chutzpah to say such a thing while the Iranian people are protesting against the regime in part because it squandered the billions Obama showered upon it on international terrorism rather than spending it on its own people. Surely even Khamenei must be beginning to realize, after all these weeks of protests, that a large segment of his own people isn’t buying his deceptions anymore, but nonetheless he plowed on. It takes even more chutzpah to say this in light of the fact that the nuclear deal that Biden’s handlers so desperately want to conclude with the Islamic Republic would immediately bring it seven billion dollars, with many more billions to come. Yet Khamenei apparently expects his people to believe that the U.S. doesn’t want to see Iran prospering. He may actually be right about that: Biden’s handlers don’t seem to want to see the Iranian people prospering, just the mullahs.

But Khamenei claimed that all the U.S. presidents without exception since the beginning of the Islamic Republic have been hostile to it. “All the American presidents,” he continued, “in the decades that have passed since the revolution, have fought the Islamic Republic on that front. It does not matter where they are now. Some of them have dropped dead, and some have been cast in the garbage bin of history, even if still alive: starting with the Democrats Carter, Clinton, and Obama, and endling with the Republicans Reagan and Bush. This includes the previous dope [Trump] and this poor demented incumbent guy who wants to save Iran and the Iranians. All of them, without exception, have confronted the Islamic Republic.”

Related: Biden’s Handlers Still Clinging to Iran Nuke Deal as Iranian Government Kills Its Own People

Can we get a fact check on this? Jimmy Carter admired Khamenei’s predecessor, the Ayatollah Khomeini, and abandoned the shah of Iran, a loyal American ally, so that Khomeini could found the Islamic Republic. Reagan administration officials sold arms to Iran in order to use the money to aid the Contras, who were fighting the Communist Sandinistas in Nicaragua. Obama sent pallets of cash to the mullahs in the dark of night and facilitated a deal that was supposed to limit Iran’s ability to develop nuclear weapons but actually paved the way for the Islamic regime to become a nuclear power. The “poor demented incumbent guy” wants to send the mullahs more billions. So have all the presidents fought the Islamic Republic? If only. The “previous dope” did, but that’s really about it.

And so the U.S. ambassador to Israel, Thomas Nides, just said that a new Iran nuke deal is “not off the table…Nothing’s ever off the table,” although he said he was “not holding my breath for any negotiation with the Iranians in this current form.”

That’s good, at least. After Khamenei finished his speech, the crowds chanted “Death to America!” Charming. We can only hope that the “poor demented incumbent guy” doesn’t end up empowering the people who were doing the chanting.

 

 

More Arizona counties refuse to certify results following a scandal-filled election

Election-Ballots-Count-Worker.jpg

(Natural News) Once more, Arizona has become ground zero for election problems after Democrats, as usual, have moved to game the system so that more of their candidates win in a suddenly ‘purple’ state.

More counties have begun to voice doubts that the election in Maricopa County was legitimate after hundreds of citizens and poll workers have complained to the elections board about several problems at dozens of polling stations, including malfunctioning tabulators, printers with no ink, and lengthy lines lasting hours.

“There are only 15 counties in the state of Arizona. So far, Mohave, Cochise, and Yavapai counties have refused to certify the suspect election. Gila county may be following suit,” 100 Percent Fed Up reported this week.

Top Real America’s Voice podcaster Steve Bannon spoke on Tuesday with Caroline Wren, a senior advisor for Trump-backed GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, who supposedly ‘lost’ to Arizona Democratic Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (the state’s top election official, by the way) following a boatload of problems on Election Day.

“We are facing an existential crisis as a party. Our Grassroots supporters do not have faith in the elections. Nor should they. And if we don’t fight now, then when?” Wren said.

“Republicans in the state had 72% of the turnout on election day. Democrats had only a 17% turnout. But for some reason, the remaining ballots after election day broke even between the two parties – despite Republicans holding solid leads in the polls,” 100 Percent Fed Up added.

Earlier this week, Lake posted a video featuring a powerful message to the voters of her state.

In it, she pledged to all Arizonans that she would continue fighting even though some media outlets have called the gubernatorial race for her Democratic opponent, Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs.

“Hi, this is Kari Lake, and I have a message to the people of Arizona and all Americans. 40 days ago, elections in Arizona officially started when mail-in ballots were sent out across our state. Election day was 13 days ago, and Maricopa County is still counting ballots,” Lake said.

“Would you get on an airplane if half of the engines didn’t work? Would our friends in the media be able to broadcast their nightly propaganda if only half of their studio equipment was working?” she continued.

She went on to praise state Attorney General Mark Brnovich for seeking answers regarding various complaints that arose during Election Day in Maricopa County.

Calling the election “botched and broken beyond repair,” she said her fight is for “our sacred right to vote, a right that many voters were, sadly, deprived of on November 8th.”

She explained, “Attorneys are working diligently to gather information, whistleblowers are coming forward and the curtain is being lifted.”

Other state Republicans cheered the counties’ decisions not to certify the election, including Arizona Republican Party chairwoman and former state Sen. Dr. Kelli Ward.

“Voters in all rural counties in Arizona are being disenfranchised by Maricopa County’s incompetence/malfeasance. I’m happy to see that my county (Mohave) voted to delay certification,” she said on Twitter.

“When Maricopa runs an untrustworthy election, the well run elections in other counties are meaningless. Improperly counted ballots, uncovered votes, & voters turned away in droves in Maricopa Co DISENFRANCHISED rural voters: bad vote counting in Maricopa DEPRIVED rural votes,” she added.

Voters in Maricopa County listed many of the problems that should never have happened during a recent hearing of election officials.

GUNNING FOR US: Biden admin continues arming more federal agents than members of the U.S. military: Why?

BY J.D. HEYES

SEE: https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-11-22-biden-admin-arming-more-federal-agents-than-military.html;

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

(Natural News) In another sign that Barack Obama and his sycophants are really in charge of Joe Biden’s White House, the current administration is rushing to arm as many federal agents as possible, the same way Obama did during his two terms.

The question is, why?

According to a report by The Federalist, the Biden regime appears to be arming more agents than U.S. Marines, adding that “the idea that agencies are empowered to effectively create their own laws and go out and enforce them with armed federal agents should be alarming.”

“Congress authorized $80 billion this year to beef up Internal Revenue Service enforcement and staffing, Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy warned that ‘Democrats’ new army of 87,000 IRS agents will be coming for you.'” wrote Mark Hemingway for the outlet.

“A video quickly went viral racking up millions of views, purporting to show a bunch of clumsy bureaucrats receiving firearms training, prompting alarm that the IRS would be engaged in military-style raids of taxpayers,” he continued.

“The GOP claims were widely attacked as exaggerations — since the video, though from the IRS, didn’t show official agent training — the criticism has shed light on a growing trend: the rapid arming of the federal government.”

Hemingway goes on to cite a report issued in 2021 by the watchdog organization Open The Books, “The Militarization of The U.S. Executive Agencies,” which noted that more than 200,000 federal agents now have been authorized to carry firearms and make arrests, noting that currently, there are only 186,000 Americans serving in the Marine Corps.

“One hundred three executive agencies outside of the Department of Defense spent $2.7 billion on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment between fiscal years 2006 and 2019 (inflation-adjusted),” the report says. “Nearly $1 billion ($944.9 million) was spent between fiscal years 2015 and 2019 alone.”

Open The Books also reported that of all agencies, the Department of Health and Human Resources has 1,300 firearms including a single shotgun, five automatic carbines, and 189 automatic weapons of all kinds. Even NASA has armed agents; the country’s space agency has a SWAT team with all the associated weaponry, along with breaching shotguns, machine guns, and armored vehicles.

Meanwhile, the Environmental Protection Agency now has drones, radar equipment, night vision goggles, and GPS trackers — along with a stockpile of guns.

“A 2018 Government Accountability Office report noted that the IRS had 4,487 guns and 5,062,006 rounds of ammunition in inventory at the end of 2017 — before the enforcement funding boost this year. The IRS did not respond to requests for information, though the IRS’s Criminal Investigation division does put out an annual report detailing basic information such as how many warrants the agency is executing in a given year,” Hemingway wrote.

He added that, according to the watchdog report, more than 100 Executive Branch agencies have investigators who carry firearms, and what’s more, there isn’t an independent authority that monitors or tracks the use of force across all federal agencies.

RealClearInvestigations contacted agencies from the HHS, EPA, and others who refused to provide or said they didn’t have up-to-date stats on how often firearms in their possession were used or details on how armed operations were carried out.

“I would be amazed if that data exists in any way,” Trevor Burrus, a research fellow in constitutional and criminal law at the libertarian Cato Institute, told Hemingway “Over the years of working on this, it’s quite shocking how much they try to not have their stuff tracked on any level.”

Of course, refusing to track the number of firearms or how each agency is using them means that the federal government has plausible deniability for those uses.

What we do know is this: The more guns the government has, the more necessary it becomes for private citizens to protect and defend their Second Amendment rights. Any federal entity pushing gun control while arming up reveals they are intent on becoming tyrannical.
