The quiet riot against insanity in America is gaining strength
How have we gone from America’s low-inflation, high tax revenue, full employment economy, with an expanding middle class, energy independence and rock solid military to the kowtowing disaster of the last two years?
The only possible conclusion is that this is a long-term and well-planned operation to kneecap America.
Accepting that the most prosperous nation on earth is suddenly falling into poverty, crime and wokeness, and our citizens are happily voting for more, requires a level of insane thinking that is unprecedented, yet we now have…
- Ballot counting machines that can’t count ballots
- Judges who refuse to judge
- Anti-American American presidents
- Prosecutors who don’t prosecute
- Peaceful protests labeled as domestic terrorism and domestic terrorists labeled as peaceful protestors
- Representatives who don’t represent
- Corporations that don’t seek profit
- Banks that don’t protect their depositors’ money
- News reporters who don’t report the news
- “Environmentalist” energy policies that waste energy and harm the environment
- Scientists who don’t use the scientific method
- Teachers who don’t teach, advocating graphic books on sex for children too young to understand sex
- Psychologists and physicians encouraging dysphoria insanity in vulnerable children – while keeping parents clueless
- Men playing women’s sports and assaulting girls in their locker rooms
- Doctors who don’t heal, promoting vaccines that kill
- Groups demanding reparations from people whose ancestors mistreated their ancestors
- Free speech that isn’t free
Americans are kind, patient, generous people who want to live our lives, raise our families, do our jobs or run our businesses, pray – or not, and be left alone. Because we believe in fairness and free speech we are willing to tolerate the speech of others – even if we think it’s crazy or offensive. We recognize that we are not perfect and we acknowledge that our country isn’t perfect, especially our past.
Most of us still have a basic understanding of civics and believe that our representative government and our right to vote are the cornerstone of American greatness. When something goes wrong there are laws that all are required to follow and a judicial system that impartially enforces those laws.
Whether you are a Republican, Democrat or Independent, a Conservative or a Liberal, when you vote for a candidate in a primary or general election, you expect your vote to be counted accurately.
When this American contract breaks down we are nothing more than well-entertained slaves. Our leaders are not our representatives, beholden to us, but our masters.
Much of this insane war on the middle class and small business is justified by the “environmental movement.” All Americans want clean air and water. But the Left has coopted this noble cause and perverted into nothing more than a thinly veiled justification for ending American prosperity. They trot out “scientists” who falsify study results to justify their actions – all of which restrict freedom and growth - while actually doing massive harm to the environment they claim to worship.
They cry panic over “global warming” and pollution, but their policies do nothing to cool the earth or reduce pollution. Instead, we see agreements and accords that transfer money from rich countries and codify immense levels of pollution in poorer ones.
We see laws passed to require electric cars to “save our environment” with “clean, renewable energy” that take more energy and toxins to produce and eventually dispose of than will ever be saved.
Worst of all, our world class medical system was twisted to declare a medical emergency, forcing us into solitary confinement and denying our children their education. They gave us a “vaccine” as a cure that did more harm than good. They used blatantly manipulated data to inflate panic about the disease and then deny the side-effects of the vaccine.
When we speak up against this insanity, we are arrested and imprisoned without basic civil rights or labeled “domestic terrorists” at local school board meetings. And when we go to the ballot box to change our representatives our votes are miscounted, and our new Republican “leadership” suddenly compromises with the Left, while claiming to do “what’s best for America.”
Despite the attempts of the Left to distract, censor and bully us, polls show that the silent majority recognizes the insanity of inner city crime, twisted justice, criminal Presidents, woke corporations, propaganda news, environmental “justice,” sexualizing children and transgenderism. Most of us know someone who died from improper treatment of COVID or the injections purported to prevent it.
And we know about election fraud.
For some reason, Google is suddenly allowing discussion of election fraud and Rasmussen took the occasion to release some amazing previously-censored polling information showing most Americans are wise to election fraud despite three years of unending propaganda.
We are fair, we are patient, but we are not stupid.
- How can we stop this insanity and get our country back?
- How can we protest when we’ll be arrested?
- How can we live safely in an inner city?
- Where can we put our hard-earned money?
- Where can we get true news?
- How do we teach our children?
- How do we avoid the next “booster” without losing our jobs?
- And finally, how can we “vote out the bastards” if our votes aren’t counted?
In a recent article, I described multiple ways ordinary Americans can fight back using our eyes, ears, mouths and wallets.
I pointed out good places to watch uncensored news – we’ll have to see how Tucker Carlson does with his new Twitter show. (Is Elon Musk the new beacon of honest reporting while suppressing free speech in other ways? Stay tuned.)
Americans are finally waking up to the insanity and have begun a nation-wide “quiet riot.”
We are boycotting news networks that have betrayed our trust. We are using conservative research sites to choose where to spend our money, reading labels to avoid products made in China and buying from local businesses and growers. We are moving our savings to smaller, regional banks.
Wherever we see woke corporations promoting drag shows, transgender insanity and satanism we quietly boycott them, costing Target, Anheuser Busch, and the LA Dodgers to lose billions of dollars in sales and stock value.
When possible, we quit corporations to avoid the shots and pulled our children from primary schools to teach them at home. Now we are leaving churches that promote LGBT policies.
We are no longer buying GOP “leadership” claims they are “fighting for America” when they allow insane spending and corruption to continue unabated.
We continue to work locally to protest insanity in city councils and school systems. We have dropped social media in favor of the real social media – actually talking with our family, friends and neighbors and sharing books, articles and videos that are getting wider and wider attention.
Perhaps most important is the need to support all efforts to end election fraud and clean up voter rolls. Encourage your state to drop the insanely corrupt ERIC system.
How about when we finally get our votes back we pass H.R.1, the “Lie Detector for Government Service Act,” that requires government employees at ALL LEVELS to declare they are working in the best interests of the American people and not for their personal profit?

California state senator urges parents to ‘flee California’
See also: California Democrats propose bill to confiscate parents’ children if they oppose gender change
State Senator Scott Wilk has issued a startling warning for parents, one for which I cannot think of any parallel in US history. Lest you consider him a minor local politician, keep in mind that a California state senator represents far more people than a member of Congress: almost one million constituents.
The reason the Senator warned his constituents with children to flee the state is:
California lawmakers in the State Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday moved forward with a measure that would require courts to consider a parent's acceptance of their child's gender identity in custody or visitation cases.
“As the mother of a trans child, it is jarring to know that TGI youth are at a higher risk of depression, mental health crises, self-harm and suicide than their cisgender peers,” said Assemblymember Lori Wilson, the bill's author, in a statement. “The TGI Youth Empowerment Act provides California the opportunity to take one step closer to building a safer, more dignified, and equitable world for TGI youth and their families.”
Senator Wilk sees this bill as an indicator of what’s ahead: (transcript via Grabien)
“I’m now in year 11 in the state legislature, and all the time we’re proposing policies to protect children. After 11 years, I’ve come to conclusion that we need to start protecting parents. That’s just not happening. I’ve been here and witnessed a full-frontal assault on charter schools, taking away parents’ choice in how their children are going to be educated, to the detriment particularly of children of color.
“In recent years we have put government bureaucrats between parents, children and doctors when it comes to medical care. And now we have this where if a parent does not support the ideology of the government, they’re going to be taken away from the home.
“Now, I agree with both Senator Wiener and Senator Laird that today it only involves divorce proceedings — and, frankly, a judge can already factor this in — but I can assure you it’s not going to end with divorce proceedings.
“In the past, when we’ve had these discussions and I’ve seen parental rights atrophied, I’ve encouraged people to keep fighting. I’ve changed my mind on that. If you love your children, you need to flee California. You need to flee.
“We’re moving towards the pathway of the ‘Handmaid’s Tale.’ California’s becoming the new Gilead and it just breaks my heart. I’m born and raised in this state. I love this state. I’m not going to stay in this state because it’s just too oppressive and I believe in freedom, and so I’m going to move to America when I leave the legislature.”
Taking custody of a child away from a parent because the parent does not want the child to be mutilated or permanently developmentally damaged with hormone-suppressing drugs is fully predictable if this measure becomes law. The language used by the bill's sponsor, Senator Wilson, that the bill is "one step closer..." reveals that a much larger agenda is at work.
If Senator Wilk’s warning isn’t ignored by the legacy media, it will be mercilessly mocked.
I take only slight comfort in the fact that Governor Gavin Newsom would have to sign this bill, if it passes both the Assembly and Senate, for it to become law. Given his obvious ambition to run for president, he would be loath to hand an issue to the Republican nominee: Newsom signed a law to take a child away from a parent if the parent doesn’t support transgender surgery.
Of course, Newsom would receive tremendous blowback from the trans claque, who are well-funded, well-organized, and ruthless. But that might serve him as a Sister Souljah moment to create a national image as a moderate, reasonable Democrat and help neutralize the toxicity of California’s politics in other parts of the nation.
Delusional DAs endanger us by protecting foreign criminals
If you ask most U.S. citizens what a district attorney (DA) does, they’d tell you something like, “prosecute criminals” or “enforce the law.”
But in an increasing number of American jurisdictions, that no longer appears to be the case. DAs across America now seem to think that one of their primary functions is to help foreign criminals remain in the United States.
Take for example George Gascon, the district attorney for Los Angeles County, California, the most populous county in the nation.
In December of 2022 Gascon introduced a new policy, Special Directive 22-07, aimed at avoiding “immigration consequences” for non-citizens who are charged with crimes.
Gascon’s rule requires prosecutors in Los Angeles County to consider alternatives when a defendant is not a U.S. citizen and faces potential deportation if found guilty in criminal court. Attempts to avoid sentencing enhancements and a preference for seeking pre-trial diversion programs over prosecution have now become a priority for prosecutors pursuing charges against foreign criminals. The ultimate goal, according to Gascon, is to keep foreign nationals in the United States, even when they violate the terms of the Immigration and Nationality Act by engaging in criminal activity.
Unfortunately, Gascon’s decision to go soft on foreign criminals is part of a disturbing nationwide trend. Several years ago, Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner created a new Immigration Counsel position within his office, with the sole purpose of reaching “immigration neutral” outcomes for non-citizens. Krasner’s spokesperson told local media that those accused of high-level offenses such as homicides or sex crimes would not enjoy special consideration.
In reality, however, Krasner’s Immigration Counsel consulted in dozens of cases in which non-citizens were accused of various serious crimes, such as rape, rape of a child, sex assault, and even murder. But rather than attempting to find ways to remove foreign thugs from the streets of Philadelphia, the Immigration Counsel was expending taxpayer resources attempting to keep them in the City of Brotherly Love. Prosecutors in other so-called “sanctuary” jurisdictions have followed suit.
Of course, Gascon and Krasner and their ilk are basing special treatment for criminal aliens on two mistaken notions: 1) that the removal of foreign criminals punishes them twice; and 2) that foreign nationals can only be removed from the United States when they have been convicted of crimes.
First off, the assertion that deportation is punishment is dead wrong. Nothing could be further from the truth. In Fong Yue Ting v. United States, the Supreme Court expressly held that deportation “is but a method of enforcing the return to his own country of an alien who has not complied with the conditions upon the performance of which the Government of the nation, acting within its constitutional authority, and through the proper departments, has determined that his continuing to reside here shall depend.”
And, as the High Court noted in Ekiu v. United States, the removal of aliens who fail to comply with our laws is an exercise of authority that is inherent in the United States’ status as a sovereign nation. The Court stated, “It is an accepted maxim of international law that every sovereign nation has the power, as inherent in sovereignty and essential to self-preservation, to forbid the entrance of foreigners within its dominions or to admit them only in such cases and upon such conditions as it may see fit to prescribe.”
Secondly, virtually any foreign national who has either broken our immigration laws to enter the United States, or has transgressed our immigration laws while here, can be deported. Gaming the system so illegal alien miscreants don’t sustain convictions is utterly pointless. If so inclined, the Department of Homeland Security can remove them solely on the basis of having crossed the border without authorization.
Meanwhile, giving a blanket special preference to lawfully present immigrants who have committed crimes simply sends a bad message that they can rely on their status as foreigners to escape culpability for criminal behavior. In the exceptional case where there are extenuating circumstances, reviewing courts have more than enough discretionary authority to minimize the impact a criminal conviction may have on an immigrant.
Moreover, as the vice president of the Association for Deputy District Attorneys of Los Angeles County noted, measures like those taken by Gascon and Krasner discriminate against U.S. citizens because they are not at risk of deportation, and thus won’t enjoy the same consideration when subjected to criminal charges.
To the casual observer, activist DAs like Gascon and Krasner might not seem like a big deal. But with the Biden Administration flooding our nation with millions of illegal aliens, average Americans should be asking who is actually protecting U.S. citizens from criminals? Because there’s no guarantee that a criminal alien cut loose by anti-borders progressives like Gascon or Krasner won’t be coming soon to a community near you. And if your local DA is also an anti-borders, sanctuary city activist, you may find the justice system protecting the criminal alien and not you.

Los Angeles Officially Declares ‘Sanctuary City’ Status for Criminal Illegal Aliens
The city of Los Angeles, California, has officially declared itself a “sanctuary city” to shield criminal illegal aliens from arrest and deportation by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency — a decision that will enshrine the policy into its municipal code.
This week, the Los Angeles City Council made the official move to codify the region’s sanctuary policy, whereas prior directives were merely symbolic and thus subject to changes.
The sanctuary city designation, which mirrors California’s sanctuary state law, dictates that no city resources are used for federal immigration enforcement — barring local agencies from cooperating with ICE agents to turn criminal illegal aliens over for deportation.
The policy also requests Los Angeles officials to create routes for agencies to avoid sharing data with ICE agents.
Already, Los Angeles had been imposing a sanctuary policy that has local law enforcement releasing 75 to 100 criminal illegal aliens from its custody every day, according to data revealed in 2019.
California, today, has the nation’s largest illegal alien population, with nearly 3.3 million illegal aliens residing across the sanctuary state. This is an illegal population larger than the resident populations of 20 states, including Nevada, Idaho, Arkansas, Kansas, New Mexico, and Iowa.

More than 17 Percent of U.S. Firearm Murders Occur in One State: Gun-Controlled California
More than 17 percent of the annual firearm murders in the United States occur in gun-controlled California, according to the most recent figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
PEW Research reported that CDC figures show 20,958 people were murdered with firearms in 2021.
The CDC’s state-by-state map shows that 3,576 of those murders occurred in California alone.
Ironically, California is the number one state in the U.S. for gun control, according to Mike Bloomberg-affiliated Everytown for Gun Safety.
California gun controls include universal background checks, an “assault weapons” ban, a 10-day waiting period, a red flag law, firearm registration requirements, a ban on campus carry for self-defense, a ban on K-12 teachers being armed for classroom defense, a limit on the number of guns a law-abiding citizen can purchase each month, and a background check requirement for ammunition purchases, among many other controls.
Yet California is also number one for “active shooter incidents,” according to FBI figures.
When California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) contrasts gun violence in his state with that of other states–especially red states–he does not mention California firearm homicides. Rather, he talks about homicide rates and claims a lower rate in California than in other states.
On Thursday, he took this approach with Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves (R):
By shifting the focus to rates, Newsom does not mention that Mississippi only had 962 firearm homicides compared to 3,576 such homicides in California.
