We've Been Going Downhill
Men, like nations, think they're eternal. What man in his
20s or 30s doesn't believe, at least subconsciously, that he'll
live forever? In the springtime of youth, an endless summer
beckons.
As you pass 70, it's harder to hide from reality...
as you lose friends and relatives.
Nations also have seasons: Imagine a Roman of the 2nd
century contemplating an empire that stretched from Britain
to the Near East, thinking: This will endure forever....
Forever was about 500 years, give or take.... not bad, but
gone!!
France was pivotal in the 17th and 18th centuries; now
the land of Charles Martel is on its way to becoming part of
the Muslim ummah. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the
sun never set on the British empire; now Albion exists in
perpetual twilight. Its 96-year-old sovereign is a fitting
symbol for a nation in terminal decline.
In the 1980s, Japan seemed poised to buy the world.
Business schools taught Japanese management techniques.
Today, its birth rate is so low and its population aging so
rapidly that an industry has sprung up to remove the remains
of elderly Japanese who die alone.
I was born in 1950, the midpoint of the 20th century
the American century. America's prestige and influence were
never greater. Thanks to the 'Greatest Generation,' we won a
World War fought throughout most of Europe, Asia, and the
Pacific. We reduced Germany to rubble and put the rising sun
to bed. It set the stage for almost half a century of unpre-
cedented prosperity.
We stopped the spread of communism in Europe and Asia
and fought international terrorism. We rebuilt our enemies
and lavished foreign aid on much of the world. We built
skyscrapers and rockets to the moon. We conquered Polio and
now COVID. We explored the mysteries of the Universe and the
wonders of DNA...the blueprint of life.
But where is the glory that once was Rome? America has
moved from a relatively free economy to socialism - which
has worked so well NOWHERE in the world.
We've gone from a republican government guided by a
constitution to a regime of revolving elites. We have less
freedom with each passing year. Like a signpost to the coming
reign of terror, the cancel culture is everywhere.
We've traded the American Revolution for the Cultural
Revolution. The pathetic creature in the White House is an
empty vessel filled by his handlers At the G-7 Summit, 'Dr.
Jill' had to lead him like a child. In 1961, when we were
young and vigorous, our leader was too. Now a feeble nation
is technically led by the oldest man to ever serve in the
presidency.
We can't defend our borders, our history (including monu-
ments to past greatness) or our streets. Our cities have
become anarchist playgrounds. We are a nation of dependents,
mendicants, and misplaced charity. Homeless veterans camp in
the streets while illegal aliens are put up in hotels.
The president of the United States can't even quote
the beginning of the Declaration of Independence ('You know
The Thing') correctly.
Ivy League graduates routinely fail history tests that
5th graders could pass a generation ago. Crime rates soar and
we blame the 2nd. Amendment and slash police budgets. Our
culture is certifiably insane. Men who think they're women.
People who fight racism by seeking to convince members of one
race that they're inherently evil, and others that they are
perpetual victims A psychiatrist lecturing at Yale said she
fantasizes about 'unloading a revolver into the head of any
white person.' We slaughter the unborn in the name of free-
dom, while our birth rate dips lower year by year. Our na-
tional debt is so high that we can no longer even pretend
that we will repay it one day. It's a $30-trillion monument
to our improvidence and refusal to confront reality. Our
'entertainment' is sadistic, nihilistic, and as enduring as
a candy bar wrapper thrown in the trash. Our music is noise
that spans the spectrum from annoying to repulsive.
Patriotism is called an insurrection, treason cele-
brated, and perversion sanctified. A man in blue gets less
respect than a man in a dress. We're asking soldiers to
fight for a nation our leaders no longer believe in.
How meekly most of us submitted to Fauci-ism (the
regime of face masks, lockdowns, and hand sanitizers)
shows the impending death of the American spirit.
How do nations slip from greatness to obscurity?
* Fighting endless wars they can't or won't win
* Accumulating massive debt far beyond their ability to
repay
* Refusing to guard their borders, allowing the nation
to be inundated by an alien horde
* Surrendering control of their cities to mob rule
* Allowing indoctrination of the young
* Moving from a republican form of government to an
oligarchy
* Losing national identity
* Indulging indolence
* Abandoning God, faith and family - the bulwarks of
any stable society.
In America, every one of these symptoms is pronounced,
indicating an advanced stage of the disease.
Even if the cause seems hopeless, do we not have an
obligation to those who sacrificed so much to give us what
we had? I'm surrounded by ghosts urging me on: the Union
soldiers who held Cemetery Ridge at Gettysburg, the bat-
tered bastards of Bastogne, those who served in the cold hell
of Korea, the guys who went to the jungles of Southeast Asia
and came home to be reviled or neglected.
This is the nation that took in my immigrant grand-
parents, whose uniform my father and most of my uncles wore
in the Second World War. I don't want to imagine a world
without America, even though it becomes increasingly likely.
During Britain's darkest hour, when its professional
army was trapped at Dunkirk and a German invasion seemed
imminent, Churchill reminded his countrymen, 'Nations that
go down fighting rise again, and those that surrender tamely
are finished.’
The same might be said of causes. If we let America
slip through our fingers, if we lose without a fight, what
will posterity say of us?
While the prognosis is far from good. Only God knows
if America's day in the sun is over.”
**Read it and weep, forward or erase it! I read it and am
now forwarding it to you, believing that we in America are
at the moment in time to stand up, or let it fall! We now
may soon beat the next step in our country's future. I
believe that it might be closer than we think.

The end times may be closer than we think. Please pray.

Christian Patriot are Rare…16 April 2023
**Christian Patriot are Rare
WSJ-NORC Poll: Americans Value Religion, Patriotism Less
By Sandy Fitzgerald | 27 March 2023
Traditional values such as religious faith, patriotism, having
children, and other priorities are becoming less important for
Americans, according to a new Wall Street Journal-NORC poll.
The one thing, though, that has grown in importance over the
past 25 years in such surveys is money, which was cited by 43% in
the new survey, up from 31% in 1998, reports The Wall Street
Journal.
The poll, conducted with the nonpartisan research organization
NORC at the University of Chicago, further found the United States
is sharply divided according to political party about trends such
as the use of gender-neutral pronouns and racial diversity in
business.
According to the survey conducted mostly online of 1,019 peo-
ple from March 1-13: 38% said patriotism is very important to
them, compared to when the Journal first asked the question in
1998 when 70% said patriotism was very important.
39% said religion is very important, down from 62% in 1998.
58% said tolerance for others was very important, compared
to four years ago when 80% said it is very important.
23% of younger adults said having children is very important.
"These differences are so dramatic, it paints a new and sur-
prising portrait of a changing America," pollster Bill McInturff,
who worked on a previous Journal survey with NBC News, commented.
"Perhaps the toll of our political division, COVID, and the low-
est economic confidence in decades is having a startling effect
on our core values."
All age groups, including seniors, said they attach far less
importance to certain values than when they were asked in polls
in 1998 and 2019, but younger Americans tended to place low
importance:
23% of adults under 30 said patriotism is very important
to them, compared with 59% of seniors 65 and older.
31% of younger respondents said religion is very important,
compared with 55% of seniors.
Meanwhile, just 21% of those surveyed said the United States
stands above all other countries, while half said the United
States is one of the greatest countries, and 27% said other
countries rank better.
Jennifer Benz, vice president of public affairs and media
research at NORC, said that some of the views expressed may
have been affected by the polls' findings on pessimism con-
cerning the economy.
"People are just sort of down on everything about the
country," Benz commented.
Meanwhile, many answers on social issues varied, depending
on political party:
Just over 50% of Republicans said society has gone too
far concerning businesses promoting racial and ethnic
diversity, compared to 7% of Democrats.
61% of Democrats said diversity efforts have not gone far
enough, compared with 14% of Republicans.
Three-quarters of Republicans polled said society has
gone too far in accepting transgender people, while 56% of
Democrats said society has not done enough.
63% said that companies shouldn't take public stands on
social and political issues, while 36% of people said com-
panies should take stands. This included 80% of Republicans
who oppose companies taking a stand to 56% of Democrats
saying they agree with the idea.
Half said they do not like being asked to use gender-
neutral pronouns, compared to 18% who were in favor. This
included 30% of people under the age of 35 favoring the
practice, compared to 9% of seniors.**
To continue with the declines in America, we have seen
thousands of school boards, city councils, teachers unions,
and unions that insist upon continuing to try and corrupt
the minds of our children by putting books in libraries
that undermine the social education and the duties of the
parents when teaching or forcing them to be exposed to
sexual perversions and even acts that only parents should
permit.
We have watched the Left undermine the laws that will
emphasize the need for patriotism and the history of America
that keeps the respect for our laws, our flag, and our
religious freedoms that people of all ages learn what this
country was built upon.
We can't let progressive liberals destroy what so many
Americans have fought and died for so the youth of American
have a base to build loyalty and moral ethics on to keep us
strong.
It is as difficult to be a God fearing Christian as it
is to be an American who is willing to fight to preserve
our nation.
We need to take back our government and secure our bor-
ders to ensure our priorities are properly placed.
Parenting is the biggest failure we have. If there is
no one teaching the children what is right and wrong, how
can we expect them to grow up as responsible leaders of
the future.
God will heal our land but we ALL have to ask for His
blessings and grace before he will cleanse the world of
the rampant evil taking over.
And ALL God's people said, "AMEN!"

Biden Turns Christianity on it’s Head…9 April 2023
Biden Turns Christianity on Its Head
Tyler O'Neil / March 15, 2023
**This is disgusting. President Joe Biden calls it "close to
sinful" for Florida to protect children from experimental trans-
gender medical interventions.
Gender ideology preys upon the young, convincing girls and
boys that they were born in the wrong body and rushing them
onto experimental drugs, hormones, and surgeries that will leave
them stunted, scarred, and infertile. Yet the ostensible Catholic
who currently occupies the Oval Office not only supports this
horror but had the gall to condemn those who would protect
children from it as sinful and cruel.
President Joe Biden slammed the Florida Health Department
efforts that prioritize counseling over medical transitions for
children, calling these efforts close to sinful and cruel.
The president emphasized the humanity of children who struggle
with an identity at odds with their biological sex, saying, They
love, they have feelings, they have inclinations as if to suggest
that the Florida Health Department considers these kids as
subhuman.
Biden didn't address the horrific outcomes of transgender
medical interventions, which Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis team
highlighted in a gruesome ”yet revealing ”video responding to
Biden. The president also didn't address the recent scandal in
St. Louis, Missouri, in which a pro-transgender whistleblower
claimed that a gender clinic rushed kids into medical transitions
on extremely flimsy grounds.
Biden also didn't address Pope Francis statement Friday
”three days before Biden's remarks aired Sunday” that the ide-
ology of gender is one of the most dangerous ideological coloni-
zations, denying the richness¦ of men and women, and of all
humanity in the tension of the differences.
Instead, Biden adopted religious language to advance a cause
directly opposite from the official teaching of the Roman Catho-
lic Church and from the witness of Scripture and Christian tra-
dition for the past 2,000 years. He adopted the moral authority
to declare sinful what Catholicism doesn't consider sinful, and
to advocate a teaching that contradicts Genesis 1:27, thus turn-
ing Christianity on its head.
This moral inversion reminds me of a similar episode in my
own life. While in D.C. one summer, I attended a service at
Washington National Cathedral in which the priest preached
against the sin of heterosexism.
Christians must live out compassion and we must remember
”as redeemed sinners ourselves” not to strut about as if we are
morally superior to those who struggle with different sins and
temptations. Yet the notion that heterosexism is a sin doesn't
just entail condemning an animus against people who struggle
with same-sex attraction. It also suggests that the moral en-
dorsement of heterosexual activity (in certain contexts) over
homosexual activity is itself a violation of God's law.
In this short statement, the priest compared historic
Christian teaching on sexuality to racism and sexism. The priest
suggested that the doctrine of marriage as the union of male and
female for life ”which St. Paul describes as a mystery pre-
figuring the marriage of Christ and the church (Ephesians
5:31-33)” traces back to ignorant animus against gays, rather
than a fundamental truth of the universe. It is hard to fathom
the pride and disobedience of such a statement.
Similarly, Biden's remarks defending experimental medical
interventions for children in the name of transgender identity
appear to signal a political weaponization of his religious
faith unmoored from its actual tenets. Only when the president's
Catholicism becomes a political tool can he wield it to advance
goals directly at odds with the basic tenets of his mother
church.
Besides Francis condemnations of transgender ideology, the
Bible speaks to gender issues, condemning cross-dressing
(Deuteronomy 22:5, 1 Corinthians. 11:3-15) and teaching that
God created humans male and female.
Both the Old Testament and the New Testament urge believers
to serve the orphan and the widow, and Jesus warns his disciples
about children, saying that whoever causes one of these little
ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to
have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drown-
ed in the depth of the sea (Matthew 18:5-6).
The Bible doesn't directly weigh in on many political issues,
but it strains credulity to imagine that Jesus approves of tel-
ling children the lie that they are really members of the oppo-
site sex and urging them to take experimental drugs with long-
term consequences to which they arguably cannot consent, setting
them on a path to removing perfectly healthy sex organs.
It's hard to imagine anything more cruel than that.**
We will ALL be judged by God in the end times and only he
knows what is or is not in Biden and Democrats hearts.
I remember the DNC booed God 3 times at the 2012 convention
and those in charged realized what was happening so
they passed the proposal to add God to their platform and Since
that day I could not get past it.
Joe invokes God but often never seems to walk the walk and
he too will be judged.
I pray for his soul.

I Keep Reading Nothing…2 April 2023
I Keep Reading Nothing
I read most all of the Opinion Letters, many from a VERY
liberal person that will remain unnamed but the problem I
noticed is I noticed is his many misguided accusations but
he seems to have his political parties mixed up.
Years ago the Democratic Party was focused on conservative
values but it all changed in the 70s and earlier when they split
because of liberal values becoming the norm.
He perceived that the 'Fake News" is being generated by the
Right.
Attempting to convince people by repeating false information
will NOT make it true but history tells us that that was one of
Alinsky's Rules for Radicals in his book followed closely by
Clinton and Obama. It's the blueprint on how to socialize a
nation. They used the media to flood America with their untruths.
The problem the confused Democrat fails to do is give accu-
rate examples or any reference that was not part of the corrupt
media.
Every reference he makes is actually another tidbit pushed
by the liberal medias crack force of uninformed shepherds to the
masses of lemmings that choose to follow them as if they had a
clue of the truth. Their sole purpose is to say whatever is
necessary to keep the leftist masses on the Democratic side of
the confusion and lies.
A problem you seldom actually see is VERIFIABLE proof of
many things their media pushes and they've been caught so many
times that retractions have become a regular occurrence.
So, let's review some of the things that are actually
provable.
The Democrats took control of both Houses of Congress in
2006 and proceeded to force banks to approve loans, that they
knew the people could not afford, and blamed it upon the Bush
administration. Using this as leverage to take the White House.
The promise of free stuff bought the votes needed to place
Obama in the White House.
Free health care was passed with No Republican votes in the
dark of night. Many Democrats weren't even aware what was in the
bill. Thus the infamous words, "You have to pass it to find out
what is in it." Known as Obamacare turned out to be a disaster
costing Americans millions but the poor got their free stuff.
Designed to hook them into continuing to vote for the Left.
Another Rule. It backfired...
The Obama's years increased the debt by $10 trillion but
the wars in the Middle East have only totaled roughly $1 tril-
lion. What Americans would like to know is who got the other
$9 trillion. No one seems to want to talk about that along with:
Benghazi's poor management mixed with lies to cover up the
deaths.
The Uranium One deal and the Russian involvement
The money gained by the Clinton Foundation and the timing
of it.
DNC and the Clinton acquisition of the Trump dossier and
then tried to turn the Russian collusion back on Trump.
The number of retractions that CNN, The Washington Post,
and other liberal publications have had to make.
Mr. Progressive referenced a non-partisan Fox poll that
said 33% felt that Trump was honest but the key is I said
"non-partisan".
If a Liberal poll source used the same parameters they
would either skew it or ignore it.
I would also challenge Mr. Misinformed to provide
VERIFIABLE PROOF of any of his accusations against Trump and
the Republicans.
He will not like what he finds but 'the truth might set
him free'.
Keep this phrase in mind "It is ALL in the timing." And
it can ALL be found on the internet if you are willing to use
sources that are unbiased. There are good uses for the net if
you care enough to want the truth.
Think about it and God Bless America. She really needs it
these days.

Fuel Costs of EVs vs Combustion Vehicles…26 March 2023
Fuel Costs of Electric Vehicles Overtake Gas-Powered Cars:
Study
Allen Zhong
January 29, 2023
**In Q4 2022, typical mid-priced ICE (Internal Combustion
Engine)
car drivers paid about $11.29 to fuel their vehicles for 100 miles
of driving.
That cost was around $0.31 cheaper than the amount paid by
mid-priced EV drivers charging mostly at home, and over $3 less
than the cost borne by comparable EV drivers charging commercially,
Anderson Economic Group (AEG) said in an analysis.
However, luxury EVs still enjoy a cost advantage against their
gas-powered counterparts.
It costs luxury EV owners $12.4 to drive every 100 miles on
average if they charge their cars mostly at home or $15.95 if they
charge their cars mostly at commercial charger stations in the 4th
quarter of 2022.
Meanwhile, the fuel costs for luxury (gas guzzler) gas-powered
cars are $19.96 per 100 miles on average.
AEG is a consulting firm based in Michigan that offers research
and consulting in economics, valuation, market analysis, and public
policy, according to the company's website.
The fuel costs in the analysis are based on real-world U.S.
driving conditions including the cost of underlying energy, state
taxes charged for road maintenance, the cost of operating a pump
or charger, and the cost to drive to a fueling station, AEG said.
Insurers List Crashed Low-Mileage Tesla on Auctions: Analysis
Insurance carriers are sending low-mileage Tesla Model Ys to sal-
vage auctions because they are too expensive to repair.
Of more than 120 Model Ys that were totaled after collisions,
then listed at auction in December and early January, the vast
majority had fewer than 10,000 miles on the odometer, according to
a Reuters analysis based on online data from Copart and IAA, the
two largest salvage auction houses in the United States.
Copart and IAA auction listings note whether the vehicles
were involved in front, rear, or side collisions, and typically
include after-crash photos of each vehicle. But the listings do
not disclose specific details on the type of damage suffered.
Copart listings in some cases included the names of insur-
ance companies that had bought back crashed vehicles, then
listed them at auction. Those companies include State Farm,
Geico, Progressive, and Farmers. Geico is part of Warren Buffet
Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
All the Model Ys in the Reuters analysis were 2022 or 2023
models that were built at either the Fremont plant in Northern
California or the Austin, Texas, plant.
Insurance companies typically total a vehicle ”which
means to scrap it and reimburse the owner” when the estimated
cost of repair is deemed too high.
An Austin-built 2022 Model Y Long Range involved in a front
collision and listed by IAA in early January had a retail price
of $61,388 and an estimated repair cost of $50,388. The vehicle
owner was not listed.
A second Austin-built Model Y, involved in a side collision
and listed by IAA, had a retail price of $72,667 and an estimated
repair cost of $43,814.**
The costs mentioned continue to rise and the replacement
parts have skyrocketed.
This past week Ford admitted they had lost $5 billion in
their EV program and expect to lose more. They are depending on
the American taxpayer to bail them out just like the recent
banking crisis that could end with 200 banks closing. Then try
to get your savings or money.
Electric Vehicles are a joke and a waste of valuable assets
from people and the rare minerals from the Earth.
Another admission is that producing the EV also releases
more carbon into the atmosphere than a gas powered vehicle.
We have been conned beyond comprehension by those who keep
pushing the idea of climate change previously called global
warming.
When are the gullible liberal progressive minded going to
do their research and use the facts rather than the corrupt
media to think for them?
We all must pray that the liberal citizens that display
no patriotism, moral ethics, compassion, or love of their
fellow Americans find out how they are being manipulated.

Election Reformers Get New Tools…19 March 2023
Election Reformers Get New Tools
Election Reformers Get New Tool to Pressure States to
Clean Up Voter Rolls
By Steven Kovac
Updated: March 7, 2023
A new interactive website database is now available for free
to individual citizens and election reform groups across the
country to help in the fight to get all states to obey a federal
election law mandating regular voter roll maintenance.
The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), a national non-
profit law firm dedicated to election integrity, announced the
launch of the website on Feb. 27.
The data provided on the website is designed to encourage
some defiant state election officials to comply with the National
Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA).
We hope this interactive database will draw attention to
the hundreds of thousands of errors in the voter rolls. Every
error in the voter rolls is a vulnerability in our elections that
can lead to fraud and abuse. Election officials must do their job
and keep accurate voter rolls, PILF President J. Christian Adams
said in a statement.
According to the federal statute, state election officials
must conduct a general program that makes a reasonable effort to
remove the names of ineligible voters from the official lists of
eligible voters.
Evidence of Nonfeasance
As evidence that some state election officials have failed to
make a reasonable effort, the database spotlights more than 317,000
deceased people that continue to appear on the registration lists
of certain states.
PILF researchers also found that 449,000 individuals are regis-
tered to vote in more than one state and discovered 54,000 same-
address duplicate voter registrations still on the books.
Attorneys for PILF have had to file lawsuits against election
officials in Pennsylvania, Texas, North Carolina, Mississippi,
Minnesota, and Michigan to force state election officials to do
their statutory duty to clean up the voter rolls.
In 2021, PILF succeeded in getting election officials in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to agree to remove 20,000 dead people
from its voter rolls.
In a screenshot from the DNCC's live stream of the 2020
virtual Democratic National Convention, Michigan Secretary of
State Jocelyn Benson addresses those attending on Aug. 20, 2020.
Since November 2020, PILF has tried to encourage and assist
Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, to remove
25,975 deceased individuals from the voter rolls of her state.
Of these, 23,663 have been dead for five years or more, with
17,479 of them being dead for at least a decade, and 3,956 have
been deceased for at least 20 years.
After a year of inaction, PILF filed a federal lawsuit to
force Benson to comply with NVRA.
In response, Benson filed a motion to dismiss PILF's case.
On Aug. 25, 2022, the United States Western District Court
of Michigan denied Benson's motion to dismiss.
The court also denied the motions to intervene filed by the
Michigan Alliance for Retired Americans, the Detroit Downriver
Chapter of the A. Philip Randolph Institute, and Rise, Inc.,
all liberal activist groups.
The Michigan Secretary of States Office doesn't comment on
pending litigation.
Presidential Citizens Award
In an online statement, Adams called it remarkable that
after the data was shared with Benson, the dead registrants
remained on Michigan's voter rolls.
It is astonishing that Secretary Benson is so vigorously
opposing effective list maintenance, he said.
Adams said the ongoing lawsuit was the first step to reduc-
ing the opportunity for fraud in Michigan elections and ensur-
ing that dead people aren't receiving ballots.
In January 2023, Benson traveled to the White House to be
presented with the Presidential Citizens Award by President
Joe Biden in honor of her service in the office and her courage
in standing up to election-denying protesters, Biden said.
The award is America's second-highest civilian award given
to a citizen for exemplary deeds or services for his or her
country or fellow citizens.
**
Sadly, this is not the first time a prestigious award was
given to a corrupt Democrat simple because of their political
party.
We have an ex-President with a Nobel Prize because he was
black.
A Supreme Court Justice that can't define what a woman is
but she was female and black.
We have men competing in female sports because all the
liberal progressives allow it. They don't care about the people
who elected them.
We have a Senator who can't communicate with anyone without
a machine to transpond words spoken to him. But he is in the
hospital with another heart issue for weeks now.
A gay Transportation Secretary that has spent more time
wasting American's tax money taking vacations, maternity leave,
and has yet to accomplish anything but he checked the Biden
blocks that are NEVER based on qualifications.
There are still over 15 states that still have not purged
their voter rolls.
Biden has not set the bar too high if he is basing those
he selects upon his personal capabilities.
America as we used to know it no longer exists but we have
got to pray for God's intervention.

Socialism Has Arrived…5 March 2023
*Socialism Has Arrived.
From the formation of our governing system there has always
been an element who did not believe it best for a capitalistic
form of government where the people should have the freedom to
develop themselves without those governing to closely guide them.
While through the years personalities changed, the goal to make
substantial changes to our nation always remained.
At several junctures, this element was able to move the exist-
ing successful capitalistic toward a more controlled socialistic
system. For example, in 1912 with Teddy Roosevelt they split the
Republican Party with the "Bull Moose" Party thus opening the way
for the socialistically inclined Woodrow Wilson to become President.
Wilson in 1913 made changes to our financial structure and in 1919
attempted to put us into the League of Nations but was stopped by
the Republican controlled Senate. During the Great Depression and
WWII FDR was able to give the Federal Government substantial con-
trol over the system.
In 2016 this group was prepared to put Hillary Clinton in as
President and completely change the structure of our government
into a Socialist system but a New York businessman named Donald
Trump disrupted their plan.
For the next 4 years they undermined Trump using primarily the
"Deep State" but he succeeded in moving the nation forward into
a more successful capitalistic direction. The Presidential elec-
tion of 2020 was critical to this group and they succeeded both
legally or illegally in putting Joe Biden a political Hack who
agreed to do their biding into the Presidency.
Since his election, just about every substantial move made
by this group through Biden was geared to condition the people
into lowering their living standards and eating up their savings
to make them more beholden to federal bureaucrats.
SUCCESS! Socialism had truly arrived. **
This was an opinion piece I saw but did not write but it
leaves a lot to be said.
Obama let it slip on a few occasions when he said that he
and his cohorts were going to "Fundamentally Transform America."
Democrats have been working on this since the days of Saul
Alinsky, George Soros, and Hillary Clinton followed closely by
Barack Obama.
I think what upsets most Americans is that the Democrats could
care less about the American people, the Constitution, or the
fact that in every case that Socialism has been tried has been
a colossal failure.
So this time they have fallen prey to the World Economic Forum
that is planning a One World Order where a small group of the
ultra-wealthy plan to take complete control of ALL of the wealth
of the world and ration everything to the people after they have
destroyed the economies and taken control of the food, employ-
ment, money, savings, and futures of every citizen of every
country or orchestrate the demise of anyone who refuses to heed
to their doomed plan.
It didn't work for any nation who had tried socialism and
this is just the same disaster on a massive scale.
On a good note, several major businesses, nations, and
states have withdrawn their pledged investments and still this
group have secured about $70T that they now control.
I think their goal for control is about $100T.
None of this is good news because we lose our Constitutional
rights at the same time.
We should all kneel and pray that God will intervene and we
can dodge another coup against "We the People".

The Apathy Factor… 26 February 2023
The Apathy Factor
By: Bill O'Reilly January 8, 2023
We all know people who don't know much about history or
anything else for that matter. And don't care to know. If they
cared, they would google—the easiest way to get information on
the planet.
Because so many folks are apathetic about the world around
them, they make bad decisions. Two things drive faulty outcomes:
emotion and stupidity.
If you don't know anything, you are stupid. However, emo-
tion can cripple even the most astute person.
President Biden is a historically bad Chief Executive rivaled
only by the incredibly incompetent, apathetic James Buchanan and
the hapless, apathetic Herbert Hoover - who thought the Great
Depression was an apparition or something.
Fellow traveler Joe Biden is many things in his senior life,
few of them good. But his apathy is beyond comprehension.
A record amount of drugs are being smuggled across the
Mexican border. Hundreds of thousands dead because of it. Heard
anything from Joe about that?
Millions of poor migrants have been abused by Mexican cartels
in terrible ways as they try to get to open-border America. Does
Biden care? No evidence that he does.
The financial burden on working Americans has increased
tenfold since Joe took office. Higher prices for almost everything,
"real wages" down about four percent - a seven-point swing for the
worse since Trump's last year in office.
The airlines have fallen apart on Biden's watch. Millions of
passengers have suffered. Has Joe addressed it? No, he has not.
In fact, I don't know of one problem that President Biden has
dealt with in an effective way. Not one.
That leads me to believe that Joe is largely apathetic about
the state of the union. He pretty much does what his far-left
masters tell him to do and then takes a nap. His daily schedule,
released to the public, shows plenty of nothing. I post it every
night on the 'No Spin News'.
Back in the late 1850s, radical separatists in the south rou-
tinely defied the federal government in Washington, stealing
weapons, ignoring taxes, even attacking federal workers. President
Buchanan did nothing. Apathetic and lazy, Buchanan sat in the
Executive Mansion while the Civil War fuse was lighted and pretty
much ignored it.
For that, James Buchanan will always be the worst President
of all time. The WOAT, if you will.
Joe B. has much in common with Jim B. and the biggest shared
trait is apathy.
Sadly, many Americans, including much of the media, are in
that camp as well.
Apathy often leads to calamity. We are surely seeing that in
the USA right now.
Somebody tell the President.
**B. O'Reilly**
Sadly Bill only has so much space for his articles but there
is so much more he could have posted.
When Biden took office he did everything he could to destroy
Trump's legacy.
He closed all commercial mining on federal land and made it
near impossible to get permits to drill elsewhere after he closed
the pipelines.
This caused the cost of oil to rise and went to other countries
to buy millions of barrels after he sold half of our Strategic
Petroleum Reserves (near 400M barrels) to China while buying from
OPEC and Russia. Gas prices more than doubled quickly.
It effected the cost of importing everything, driving the cost
of goods so high that in 2021 the inflation was at 7.1% and then in
2022, it reached 9.1% and ended up at 6.5%.
He has used the FED to purchase any US bonds and stocks
that investors sold off as the market began to drop. That means he
has been trying to buy our way out of debt which has now reached
over $31.5T. Obama drove the debt up by $10T and Biden is trying
to set another embarrassing record.
Inflation rates were between 0.25%-2.5% with Trump but
then came Biden and the 0.25% he inherited has now reached 4.25%
and still rising.
Biden claims to have driven the unemployment rate to an
all time low but has, in fact, only manipulated the Labor Partici-
pation Rate by dropping people from the unemployed as if they had
died because, in truth, some 12M fewer people are working and as
an attempt to cover up his lies has opened the border and allowing
million of non-citizens to do labor jobs for very low wages and
they pay NO taxes, health insurance, while they collect welfare
handouts so that it appears as if he is creating jobs when he has
actually not created a single job.
I could easily continue but all Americans should know just
how sorry a job Biden, or those pulling his strings are doing.
Even the Democrats think that we are already in a recession
and the worst is yet to come.
It is evident that most of the Left DO NOT CARE about those
who they hurt the most.
It is time for the true American patriots make their voices
heard and unite to DRAIN THE SWAMP.
Pray for our nation that God will heal it.
Conservatively,

How Biden Screws Americans…19 February 2023
How Biden is screwing Americans
Biden’s Labor Closet Just Swung Wide Open – Days After Strong
Jobs Report, It Turns Out It’s Fueled by Foreign Workers
By Adam Casalino | February 9, 2023
Anyone whose gone to the grocery store recently knows that
the economy is in bad shape. Inflation and high gas prices continue
to hurt most Americans. Not only that, but some people struggle to
make ends meet as the price of most things continues to go up.
Yet, Biden keeps saying the economy is “strong,” because
federal reports claim the jobs market is strong. In fact, just this
January, the federal government claims the country added over
500,000 jobs. How can that be… when experts say we are entering a
recession?
From Breitbart:
President Joe Biden’s administration is growing the United
States labor market by adding millions of foreign workers for em-
ployers to hire, leaving jobless Americans on the sidelines.
Data published in the New York Times shows that the Biden
administration is aiding employers by adding millions of foreign
workers to the labor force — ensuring wages stay stagnant — even
as native-born Americans struggle to get back into jobs since the
Chinese coronavirus pandemic.
Oh, I see! Biden can claim the economy is good and job growth
is high–because millions of illegal aliens are taking jobs. Demo-
crats claim that we need outsiders to do the jobs that Americans
refuse to do. That’s a flat-out lie.
In reality, Democrats leave the border open so that companies
can pay illegals lower wages than Americans. The painful truth is
–and I’m just going to say it–illegals can live off of lower wages
because they don’t pay taxes! Not to mention they don’t have to
pay mortgages or health insurance premiums.
And they are happy to earn such meager salaries, because
it’s better than having no job back in their home country.
Democrats are taking advantage of desperate illegal aliens.
At the same time, they are helping companies hire aliens over
Americans, keeping wages pathetically low. All the while, Biden
can lick his ice cream and claim the economy is “strong as hell.”
Yeah, for the corrupt companies that are saving money by
exploiting illegal immigrant labor. So much for the American dream,
huh? These companies aren’t too quick to want to see the border
secure. And they’ll keep supporting politicians who promise to
keep this stream of cheap labor flowing.
The only people to suffer? The millions of Americans who are
trying to make ends meet. I guess Biden forgot about all of them,
huh?
Key Takeaways:
Joe Biden is growing the labor market, thanks to millions of
illegal alien workers.
Biden claims the economy is strong, but only because out-
siders are taking American jobs.
The steady influx of aliens ensures Americans are deprived
of jobs and high wages.

What people don't know is how the Labor Participation Rate
works. It is based upon those people who are able and willing to
work but their jobs went away during the pandemic.
There are currently some 11-12M fewer Americans working
now than there were in 2019.
The Job Participation Rate is now over 2% lower than when
Obama and Biden were/are in office.
By lowering the participation rate he can lower the unem-
ployment rate artificially even though there are so many fewer
workers so he has elected to fill open jobs with illegals and he
also gives them more in government subsistence and freebies
than they can make once their unemployment benefits run out.
If you are one of those sucking off the American taxpayer,
keep in mind that nothing is free.
The saddest part is that a senior citizen or many veterans
make less than $20-25K a year, after working their lives just to
be eligible for Social Security while so many states and the US
government hand out 2-3 times that much for the lazy leaches
for some unknown reason think they are owed or entitled to get
to stay home and let the true American patriots support them
because they just don't care.
God is great but karma is earned by ones actions.

Differences Between Biden & Trump’s Document Troves…12 February 2023
The real Differences Between the Biden and Trump
Document Troves
by Victor Davis Hanson
*Donald Trump, for now certainly seems to have had more
documents labeled “classified” at Mar-a-Lago in Florida than did
President Joe Biden at his various homes in Delaware.
Yet otherwise, the comparisons between the two cases, con-
trary to popular punditry, hardly favor Biden.
First, a stranger would face a far greater challenge entering
a post-presidential Mar-a-Lago than a pre-presidential Biden home,
office, or garage — or who knows where?
Secret Service agents and private security were stationed at
Mar-a-Lago. Before the 2020 presidential election they were not at
citizen Biden’s various troves for most of 2017-2020, much less
prior to 2009.
Second, we seem to forget that for much of the developing
controversy, Biden’s own team was investigating Biden.
On the other hand, the Biden administration’s Justice De-
partment and the FBI were not just investigating Trump as an out-
side party, but as a former president — and possible 2024 presi-
dential candidate and opponent of Biden himself.
Remember, the narrative of the first Democratic impeach-
ment of Trump was the allegation that Trump had used his powers
of the presidency to investigate Biden and his family, a likely
2020 challenger to Trump’s re-election bid.
Third, no one in a position of government authority had
passed judgment on Biden’s alleged security violations. That was
not the case of the still-alleged violations of Trump.
Biden, as president, had weighed in, during his own Justice
Department’s ongoing investigations of Trump. Indeed, he pro-
claimed the former president to be guilty: “How could anyone be
that irresponsible?” In contrast, he also dismissed the ongoing
investigation of himself with “There is no there, there.”
Fourth, Trump is certainly right that as president he had a
far more substantial claim of declassification rights than did
Biden, who took the papers out either as a senator or vice
president.
Fifth, the FBI was not merely asymmetrical in melodramatic-
ally raiding the Trump home while allowing Biden lawyers to in-
spect various Biden stashes. The FBI also leaked the purported
contents of the subjects of the Trump classified documents
(falsely spreading the lie of “nuclear codes” and “nuclear
secrets") in a way it has not with the Biden cache.
The FBI went so far as to scatter the documents on the floor
for a fake news photo-op as if the papers were so messily arrayed
when they arrived.
So far, the FBI has come lightly and belatedly to the Biden
case without the SWAT team get-up, and only under pressure from
the public and the Republican opposition.
Sixth, Biden did not “self-report.” Biden’s team did not call
the relevant government authorities the minute they discovered
the classified documents in Biden’s office and home and garage.
In truth, Biden, or someone close to Biden, certainly knew
that he or someone close to him had illegally removed classified
documents when he left the vice presidency in 2017 — or years
earlier as a senator.
For at least the past six years — at least — Biden has felt no
compunction to confess to authorities he illegally was in posses-
sion of classified documents.
Indeed, the only reason the current troves are coming to
light was apparent White House paranoia that the media, the Biden
Justice Department, and the special counsel were so fixated on the
Trump documents that they likely feared someone might raise the
logical question of whether a hypocritical Biden himself might be
guilty of exactly the crime for which they were pursuing Trump.
Worse, Biden and his staff knew classified documents were
in his possession before the midterms but deliberately suppressed
that information until after the elections were over.
Seventh, Trump’s documents were stored only at one place
— Mar-a-Lago — and only for about 19 months. Biden’s were
stashed at various locations for nearly seven years, or perhaps
more than a decade. There were far more opportunities of time
and space for those without security clearances to have access to
the Biden documents than to the Trump files.
Eighth, the press has exhaustively speculated, usually wrong-
ly, about how the documents reached Mar-a-Lago and what they
contained. In contrast, no one knows or even asks why Biden took
classified documents, what they concerned or who if any in his
family circle had access to them.
Ninth, Trump’s documents did not expose other liabilities of
the constantly investigated Trump. The Biden files so far have
directed attention to the mysterious tens of millions of dollars in
communist Chinese money that poured into Biden’s think tank at
the University of Pennsylvania, the proximity of members of the
quid pro quo Biden consortium to these classified papers, and the
files’ relevance, if any, to the Biden family’s overseas
businesses.
Did Hunter Biden ever consult or view classified documents
while living in a home with them? Will there be fingerprint or
DNA tests on the documents? If Hunter consulted any of these
classified documents, then the Biden presidency is finished.
Tenth, Trump possessed contested documents as a private
citizen. Biden’s files under contention involve the current be-
havior of the president of the United States. Biden ran for office,
was elected and serves as president with the full knowledge that
during all this time he unlawfully possessed classified documents.
VDH*
It is easy to see how corrupt and divisive the Left has become
and the fact that they don't even know what transparency means.
They have built their party and Administration on lies and making
sure that do everything possible to silence the Conservative point
of view. Truth and facts are the last things they want Americans
to know and they will do anything to obstruct efforts to inform
the American people of what they are doing to destroy the economy.
Between the Democrats, DOJ, Big Tech, and World Economic
Forum we are in a place from which only God can rescue us.
Conservatively,
John
