This Is Not Just A Retirement Crisis: It's The Beginning Of A Catastrophic Societal Collapse


he foundations of our society are shaky. And the fact that entire generations are about to find out that they will never be able to retire comfortably is going to change our labor market, our collective mindset, and our economy, and rip apart the fabric that holds everything together in our country. Today, over 50% of Americans have zero money saved for their retirement years, including almost 30% of older Americans that will soon reach retirement age. Although some can blame the retirement crisis on workers' lack of savings, the reality is that for the vast majority of workers in the U.S., it is getting impossible to afford housing, utilities, food, cars, fuel, monthly bills, healthcare, and education and still have money to put aside for the future.  Analysts say this crisis may wreck the institutions that our nation is built upon and it will be felt by each and every one of us. In this video, we are going to investigate a new study that predicts that a retirement uprising is on the cards for the U.S. as both private and public retirement arrangements fall to pieces by the end of the decade. Both private and public retirement plans are failing to provide adequate help. And younger generations, which were the main catalyst of the Great Resignation movement that led 47 million people to voluntarily quit their jobs in 2021, are becoming aware of the fact that they may not achieve financial safety during their working lives. And they are getting furious.  A retirement rebellion is brewing. That is what a study conducted by Reed in partnership with 55 Redefined is warning. Citing data released by personal finance site Credit Karma, analysts estimate that for the average U.S. worker today retire with $1 million in savings, they would have to work for 108 years, saving at least 21% of their after tax-income and having a balanced portfolio of secure investments.  In other words, for millions of Americans earning $69,717 a year or less, the idea of a comfortable retirement, where healthcare costs and living expenses are covered, is out of their reach. According to the National Institute on Retirement Security, half of all working-age individuals in America, which represent 103.6 million individuals, do not own assets in retirement accounts.  38% of millennials say they have zero or negative net worth, meaning they have more debts than assets. For Gen Z, more than 41% of respondents said their net worth is $0 or less. That is particularly true for younger generations working in low-paid jobs. In fact, the study argues that Generation Z is likely to orchestrate the FIRE movement which can be defined as a massive upheaval in the labor market that will see younger workers stepping back from their jobs en masse in protest to anemic wage growth in an era of ballooning costs for basic goods and services. The chaotic demonstrations we’re now witnessing in France are just a hint of what may lie ahead for the United States, they say. Never before in history, U.S. workers had such meager chances of accumulating wealth during their working years. And such opportunities are even more scarce as they age. Our workers are getting sick and tired of all the exploitation, all the corruption, and all the neglect. A day of reckoning is coming, and if major changes aren't done to fix our broken retirement system, our society will crumble faster than anyone dares to imagine.

THERE IS NO PURPOSE OF TODAY'S ACTIVE GOVERNMENT BEYHOND EXTRACTING WEALTH FROM THE 995 AND PUTTING IT INTO THE POCKETS OF THE 1% AND THE POLITICIANS WHO SERVE THEM.

Matthew Desmond on How to End Poverty, and His Book POVERTY, BY AMERICA | Inside the Book



Matthew Desmond discusses his new book POVERTY, BY AMERICA and its two central questions: Why is there so much poverty in America, and what can we do to eliminate it? Get the book: http://bit.ly/42pKqlG About POVERTY, BY AMERICA The Pulitzer Prize–winning, bestselling author of Evicted reimagines the debate on poverty, making a new and bracing argument about why it persists in America: because the rest of us benefit from it. The United States, the richest country on earth, has more poverty than any other advanced democracy. Why? Why does this land of plenty allow one in every eight of its children to go without basic necessities, permit scores of its citizens to live and die on the streets, and authorize its corporations to pay poverty wages? In this landmark book, acclaimed sociologist Matthew Desmond draws on history, research, and original reporting to show how affluent Americans knowingly and unknowingly keep poor people poor. Those of us who are financially secure exploit the poor, driving down their wages while forcing them to overpay for housing and access to cash and credit. We prioritize the subsidization of our wealth over the alleviation of poverty, designing a welfare state that gives the most to those who need the least. And we stockpile opportunity in exclusive communities, creating zones of concentrated riches alongside those of concentrated despair. Some lives are made small so that others may grow. Elegantly written and fiercely argued, this compassionate book gives us new ways of thinking about a morally urgent problem. It also helps us imagine solutions. Desmond builds a startlingly original and ambitious case for ending poverty. He calls on us all to become poverty abolitionists, engaged in a politics of collective belonging to usher in a new age of shared prosperity and, at last, true freedom. ________________________ Sign up for the Penguin Random House newsletter to get more videos like this and tailored book recommendations: http://bit.ly/2k9u67A Subscribe to PRH:    / @penguinrandomhouse  







Biden Has Put America on Course for a ‘Forever Recession’

It’s no secret Joe Biden is floundering.

Chinese spy balloons drift unmolested across the United States, our southern border remains wide open to any immigrant or drug trafficker who wants to come in, and now we learn that many of our most sensitive national security communications have been exposed to the world.

But Biden’s incompetence on the economy may be most damaging to ordinary Americans.

A 40-year Wall Street legend who appears regularly on CNBC and Fox Business and is frequently quoted by MarketWatch, Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal, and dozens more outlets has just issued an urgent warning for all Americans.

According to his research, Biden has caused a new crisis that could be bigger than the Black Monday collapse of 1987, the dot-com crash in the 2000s, and the 2008 financial crisis combined.

He’s calling it Biden’s “Forever Recession,” and he says it’s already begun.

Louis Navellier is this expert’s name, and he gained notoriety for his early warnings about the 2000 dot-com crash and the 2008 financial crisis.

He says this new economic disaster could devastate the American economy and especially the financial markets for the next 10 years or even longer.

Businesses will fail, retirement accounts will shrivel, and the American dream of financial security will never become a reality for millions.

However, there are critical moves anyone can make to limit the damage of coming “Forever Recession” on their finances, family and future.

Navellier has just published a brand-new analysis that explains everything you need to know about this coming crisis.

A new short video details what’s coming, how you can protect yourself, and even reveals his #1 recession-proof stock pick.

But Navellier warns that time is short.

“If you’re older than 50, I recommend you make these money moves by May 2nd, or you might never be able to retire,” Navellier says.

Watching the video costs you nothing, but it could likely save and even accelerate your ability to retire in the coming years.

To get the full story, go here before May 2nd.

THE PURPOSE OF GOVERNMENT IS TO EXTRACT WEALTH FROM THE 99% AND TUCK IT INTO THE BOTTOMLESS POCKETS OF THE 1%.

The share of the American public holding negative views about the U.S. economy both now and in the future reached a record high 69 percent, a CNBC poll showed Tuesday.

This is the highest proportion of negative views about the economy in the 17-year history of CNBC’s All-America Economic Survey, which is based on a poll of 1,000 people nationwide.

The grim view of the economy is weighing on President Joe Biden’s popularity. His overall approval rating fell two points to 39 percent in the most recent survey compared with the November survey. Fifty-five percent say they disapprove of Biden, up a point from the November survey.

On the economy specifically, American’s disapprove of Biden’s handling of the issue by 62 percent to 34 percent. In the November survey, this was 57 percent to 38 percent, which means Biden has lost ground on this metric.

Biden’s approval among independents crashed nine points to just 27 percent. He even lost two points among Democrats, with 77 percent saying they approve.

Among women aged 18 to 49, a key constituency for Democrats, Biden’s approval fell 13 points to just 34 percent.

Just five percent of Americans say their income is rising faster than inflation. Twenty-six percent say their household income is keeping pace with rising prices. Sixty-seven percent said they are falling behind.

Just 24 percent say now is a good time to invest in stocks, the lowest reading in the survey’s history. The prior record was last quarter at 26 percent.

Survey: All Consumers Financially Worse off Following Biden’s Inflation, Debt

All U.S. consumers are financially worse off now than last year with growing personal debt following President Joe Biden’s inflation, a Morning Consult’s State of Consumer Banking and Payments report revealed Tuesday.

The report found that rising interest rates, soaring inflation, and the banking crisis has Americans feeling worse off financially than last year.

The financial well-being scores by annual household income dropped across all income levels in 2023. The hardest hit appears to be those earning larger incomes, though all consumers have felt the impacts of Biden’s fiscal and energy policies:

  • Income <$50k (-0.86)
  • Income $50k-$99K (-0.59)
  • Income $100k+ (-2.45)
  • All adults (-0.27)

One of the key drivers in negative well-being was Biden’s inflation, fueled by a manufactured energy crisis. In March, the Federal Reserve continued to increase interest rates by a quarter of a percent (25 basis points), a decision subject to speculation by financial experts, as the central bank weighed reducing soaring inflation and the stability of the banking system.

The report shows interest rates have most greatly impacted households earning over $100,000 a year. High earners are more likely to hold financial assets impacted by increased interest rates.

The middle class has also been hurt by inflation. In 2022, Biden’s 40-year-high inflation cost American households an average of $5,200 extra, or $433 per month, according to Bloomberg.

While the study found that high-income earners were most impacted by Biden’s inflation in 2022, younger consumers were burdened with personal debt.

“The share of millennials who reported having credit card, auto, mortgage, educational, medical, personal, ‘buy now, pay later,’ home equity and other types of debt was higher compared to any other generation, across all debt types examined,” the report found.

A driver of personal debt for younger generations was student loans. Thirty-three percent of millennials and 21 percent of Gen Zers revealed to the study that they have debt from attending institutions that often employ far-left professors. Sixteen percent of Gen Xers, the oldest of the younger generations, still retain student debt.

The report sampled 4,400 Americans per month from July 2021 to March 2023. No margin of error was provided.

WHEN HAS JOE BIDEN EVER OPENED UP HIS FAT MOUTH THAT HE'S NOT LYING OR SUCKING  BRIBES?!?

Biden says anyone ‘earning less than $400,000’ won’t see a tax increase ‘by one penny’ — he lied

By Olivia Murray

Ten percent for “the Big Guy”? Yeah, right; more like, “12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35% and[/or] 37%.”

See what the “Big Guy” said on Twitter this morning:

As I’m sure many of us are painfully aware, that was a lie — I certainly don’t make $400,000 a year, and I took a massive hit on Tuesday, which was a marked change from years past.

Oddly enough, income tax is eerily similar to the protection fee demanded by organized crime syndicates; for the Sicilian mafia, this extorted chunk of cash is known as “pizzo”. From an online encyclopedia:

A protection racket is a type of racket and a scheme of organized crime perpetrated by a potentially hazardous organized crime group that generally guarantees protection outside the sanction of the law to another entity or individual from violence, robbery, ransacking, arson, vandalism, and other such threats, in exchange for payments at regular intervals.

So long as you make your payments at regular intervals, nobody gets hurt, right?

What’s worse though, is that my federal extortion payment was only the beginning: I also forfeited state income tax for the months I lived in Arizona, and now I’ll spend the rest of the year paying a litany of other taxes. See below:

Shortly after President Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December of 2017, I had a conversation with a leftwing family member, and it went exactly as you’d expect.

As an open borders, socialist/communist (adopted identities she wouldn’t even be able to define), “educated” Democrat, of course she hated President Trump and everything he did; certainly, the new tax code was “unfair” because all the other teachers in her leftwing school said so, and instead of her usual refund, she actually owed money to the government.

First off, I tried to explain that when she would receive a “refund” it just meant that the federal government was using her money interest-free, and she was simply getting a portion of her own money back (and given her circumstances, nothing more) — she didn’t get it.

I then asked how much she made, and showed her that prior to the tax cuts, she was in the 25% tax bracket, but now, thanks to President Trump, she was only paying 22%. Her response? The predictable pivot of a leftist caught looking like an idiot: “Well that still seems high.” I replied, “Well yes, it should be zero percent, but all those government programs you love so much cost real money.” Again, the concept eluded her. (Democrat voters remain hopelessly thick-headed.)

Since I don’t make anywhere near the 37% tax bracket, I’ve never really done the math, but laying in bed the other night, I discovered that someone making $500,000 a year would have $185,000 shaved off the top immediately — I was awake for hours. (Leftists and the fallout of their stupid ideas literally keep me up at night!) I should have known though, because a few years back, my father-in-law (a retired orthopedic surgeon), calculated that he worked an average of four straight months out of every year, just to cover his federal “pizzo” payment — this is beyond criminal.

Most of the media, entertainers, educators, and other Democrats only pretend to care about children, the poor, and the middle class

By Jack Hellner

We had huge protests when President Trump was enforcing immigration laws. AOC showed up and cried at a chain link fence protecting a parking lot. Kids were shown in cages, from the Obama-Biden years, and Trump was blamed.  But now that Biden refuses to abide by his oath to enforce the nation's laws, there is barely a whimper.

Somehow, we didn't get massive coverage when the NY Times showed that illegals, who are children, are essentially used as slaves.

Alone and Exploited, Migrant Children Work Brutal Jobs Across the U.S.

Nope, the media is more concerned that Republicans are trying to make sure that children's genitalia aren’t allowed to be destroyed without the permission of parents.

There isn't even much coverage when the Biden administration loses track of children.

Why don't we see the story about how many people, including kids, die at the border? It is a huge problem, but the leftists don't seem to care.

Biden Administration Official Unable to Give Clear Answer on Whereabouts of 85,000 Migrant Children

Joe Biden certainly doesn't care about the children any more than he cared about the six people killed by a gender-confused person in Nashville.

But it is a huge story if a black teen got shot, but didn't die, when he showed up at an 85-year-old white person's house at 10 PM. Then that teen gets invited to the White House to push the race card and gun issue.

If the media and other Democrats actually cared about children, especially the poor and minorities, they would not cater to teachers unions to keep schools closed during COVID, and they would support vouchers to allow the poor to go to better schools.

Of course, the media and other Democrats did care about the border when they reported widely the false story that border agents whipped Haitians. They always play the race card, no matter how fake the story is.

Biden and Garland, who say they never comment on ongoing investigations, enthusiastically claimed the agents were guilty and would be punished. This story was as true as the Russian collusion story, but no one cared. They were willing to destroy peoples' lives with no evidence.  The Justice Department and DHS knew the story was false within a day yet did an extensive eleven-month investigation.

Maybe the Justice Department, other prosecutors, and other Democrats should concentrate on criminals and actual crimes, instead of having endless investigations and witch hunts like this, Russian collusion, Trump’s taxes, and a seven-year-old non-disclosure agreement where they search for a crime instead of investigating a crime.

After the eleven-month extensive investigation they found that agents used inappropriate language and one agent even admitted twirling his reins to keep the illegals at a distance.

Patrol agents on horseback did not whip migrants, but used force and inappropriate language, investigators say

 One agent admitted to twirling horse reins as a distancing tactic.

Heaven forbid! Maybe he belongs in solitary confinement.

I hope no one in the Biden family ever used inappropriate language, instead of just taking massive kickbacks. Then the Justice Department might take it seriously.

If the media and other Democrats really cared about poor and starving children, clean water, sewage treatment plants, power plants, and helping underdeveloped countries they would encourage them to develop their natural resources, instead of blocking them and falsely telling them that would destroy the planet.

If rich people like Gates, Bloomberg, Obama, Oprah, and the royal family truly believed what they regurgitate, they would stop flying in private jets and building mansions while telling others they need to give up their freedom and quality of life 

Save the Planet, Invest in Fossil Fuels

"Three billion people in the world still use less electricity than a typical refrigerator," explains Alex Epstein, author of "The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels." If they're going to have "their first well-paying jobs ... their first consistent supply of clean water ... a modern life ... that's going to depend on fossil fuels."

If the media truly believed in facts and science, they would ask questions and do research looking for evidence that oil, coal, natural gas, cars, methane and all the other stuff we are told cause warming actually do so, instead of just repeating what they are told. They would have as much success as they had looking for Russian colluson or hunting snipe. 

Sadly, most of the media clearly cares more about power for leftists and campaigning for the radical leftist agenda to destroy and remake America than facts or science or children.

IRS Whistleblower: Merrick Garland Denied Naming Special Counsel in Hunter Tax Probe

Attorney General Merrick Garland denied naming a special counsel in Hunter Biden’s tax investigation to provide a degree of separation between President Joe Biden and his Justice Department, according to allegations revealed Wednesday by an IRS whistleblower.

Trump-appointed U.S. prosecutor David Weiss allegedly requested to be named as a special counsel in the probe to provide a degree of separation between President Joe Biden and the Justice Department’s investigation into his son.

That request was reportedly denied, according to the whistleblower, potentially undermining the DOJ’s probe into Hunter for tax fraud, money laundering, and violation of lobbying laws.

Thirty-three Republican senators have demanded Garland give Weiss probing Hunter special counsel powers and protections. But their plea has gone unanswered. Garland has also previously refused to say whether a special counsel should be placed over the investigation to maintain an honest probe.

“Under President Biden and Attorney General Garland, America is not equally applying Justice and the rule of law. They are both equally culpable and responsible for abuse alleged by the IRS whistleblower,” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) told Breitbart News.

Mike Davis, founder and president of the pro-Trump Article III Project and former Chief Counsel for Nominations to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, told Breitbart News that Garland has a direct conflict of interest and must appoint a special counsel.

“The criminal probe of Hunter Biden directly affects Garland’s boss. This is a coverup, ” he said. “House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan should put Garland in a chair in front of bright lights and cameras—and let Garland explain why he is more interested in running cover for his boss than following the law.”

In March, Garland insisted Weiss has the authority to bring charges against Hunter. However, Garland additionally noted he would personally have to authorize any potential charges against Hunter.

“I would then have to authorize it and permit it to be brought in another jurisdiction and that is what I promised I would do,” he told the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Weiss’s probe into Hunter could implicate Joe Biden. A witness who testified before the grand jury was reportedly asked to identify the “big guy.” The “Big Guy” is a reference to a joint venture between the Biden family, associates, and CEFC China Energy Co., in which Joe Biden would receive a ten percent equity stake.

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) revealed in March the Biden family received a collective $1.3 million cut in 2017 from a Biden family business associate, who was sent a $3 million wire transfer from CEFC. Hunter has confirmed the $1.3 million China payout. Joe Biden falsely denied it.

Biden family members received the $1.3 million in return for favors from Joe Biden, Comer believes.

“The House Oversight Committee will work to hold accountable anyone in the Biden Administration who may be covering up this criminal activity,” Comer told Breitbart News.

“The Oversight Committee will also continue to pursue our investigation into the Biden family’s business schemes to determine if President Biden and our national security are compromised. Americans demand answers, transparency, and accountability,” he added.

In 2018 and 2020, Breitbart Senior Contributor and Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer published Secret Empires and Profiles in Corruption. Each book hit #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and exposed how Hunter Biden and Joe Biden flew aboard Air Force Two in 2013 to China before Hunter’s firm inked a $1.5 billion deal with a subsidiary of the Chinese government’s Bank of China less than two weeks after the trip. Schweizer’s work also uncovered the Biden family’s other vast and lucrative foreign deals and cronyism.

Breitbart Political Editor Emma-Jo Morris’s investigative work at the New York Post on the Hunter Biden “laptop from hell” also captured international headlines when she, along with Miranda Devine, revealed that Joe Biden was intimately involved in Hunter’s businesses, appearing to even have a ten percent stake in a company the scion formed with officials at the highest levels of the Chinese Communist Party.

IRS Whistleblower Says Biden Admin Interfering in Hunter Tax Fraud Probe

Two Biden administration political appointees within the Justice Department are working to block charges against Hunter Biden for tax violations against recommendations, an IRS whistleblower alleged Wednesday, saying the appointees are engaging in “preferential treatment and politics.”

Hunter is under investigation by the DOJ for tax fraud, money laundering, and violation of lobbying laws. Trump-appointed U.S. prosecutor David Weiss for months has been weighing if there is sufficient evidence for the grand jury to indict him.

According to the whistleblower’s attorney, Mark Lytle, his client wishes to speak with congressional investigators to corroborate his claims of political interference in the probe, which he has reported to the Justice Department’s top watchdog, according to a report.

In a letter obtained by Just the News, “The IRS agent has … disclosed his concerns to both the Treasury Department Inspector General for Tax Administration and Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz.” The letter goes on to say:

Specifically, the agent has provided evidence that at least two Biden DOJ political appointees in U.S. attorneys’ offices have declined to seek a tax indictment against Hunter Biden despite career investigators’ recommendations to do so and the blessing of career prosecutors in the DOJ tax division.

In addition, the whistleblower alleges Weiss asked to be named as a special counsel in the probe to provide a degree of separation between the probe and Joe Biden. That request was apparently turned down.

The allegations come as the grand jury appears to have convened as far back as May 2019, a confidential subpoena served to JPMorgan Chase bank reveals. The subpoena sought bank records of Hunter and James Biden.

According to the New York Times, Hunter has tried to settle the DOJ’s probe. In 2021, Hunter paid an outstanding $1 million IRS tax bill to evade conviction or a long sentence. The payment could benefit Hunter’s defense.

The probe into Hunter could implicate President Joe Biden. A witness who testified before the jury was reportedly asked to identify the “big guy.” The “Big Guy” is a reference to a joint venture between the Biden family, associates, and CEFC China Energy Co., in which Joe Biden would receive a ten percent equity stake. CEFC also paid Hunter a $1 million legal retainer.

In March 2018, James Biden demanded the legal services payment and provided CEFC “wiring instructions” to transfer the funds to Hudson West III LLC, an entity James and Hunter controlled.

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) revealed in March the Biden family received a collective $1.3 million cut in 2017 from a Biden family business associate, who was sent a $3 million wire transfer from CEFC. Hunter has confirmed the $1.3 million China payout, while Joe Biden falsely denied it.

Comer believes Biden family members received the $1.3 million in return for favors from Joe Biden. “We believe the reason the family was receiving this money is because of favors that Joe Biden did as vice president and or as president,” Comer told Bloomberg in March.

Comer’s investigation into the Biden family for nine violations, including tax evasion, money laundering, and wire fraud, is a separate probe from the DOJ’s.

Comer’s investigation has encompassed subpoenaing four major U.S. banks and one individual. The subpoenaed banks are Bank of America, Cathay Bank, JPMorgan Chase, and HSBC USA N.A. The banks have complied with the subpoenas.

Comer also subpoenaed the Biden family’s CEFC partner, Mervyn Yan. As a former CEFC official, Yan was an integral member of the Chinese energy conglomerate with strong ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Yan appears to be one of the few top CEFC officials who has not been detained or arrested.

“We’ve been wondering all along where the heck the DOJ and the IRS have been. Now it appears the Biden Administration may have been working overtime to prevent the Bidens from facing any consequences,” Comer told Breitbart News. “The House Oversight Committee will work to hold accountable anyone in the Biden Administration who may be covering up this criminal activity.”

In 2018 and 2020, Breitbart Senior Contributor and Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer published Secret Empires and Profiles in Corruption. Each book hit #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and exposed how Hunter Biden and Joe Biden flew aboard Air Force Two in 2013 to China before Hunter’s firm inked a $1.5 billion deal with a subsidiary of the Chinese government’s Bank of China less than two weeks after the trip.

AND YOU WONDERED WHY BIDEN SEEMED TO BE PERPETUALLY KISSING RED CHINA'S ASS???

“Of the nine Biden family members profiting off Communist China, let the American people decide,” Cruz said about Comer’s investigation. “If this is benign, release the reports.”

He added, “China is our biggest enemy, and I think you would have every Democrat that would go on your show say the same thing. We need to worry about China. Why is China is our biggest enemy, sending millions and millions of dollars to the Biden family and not just the president’s son and brother? Now we’ve got multiple family members here.”

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Wednesday demanded U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen publicly release the Biden family’s suspicious activity reports (SARs) or be complicit in coving up the “Biden family business profiting off Communist China.”

SARs “often contain evidence of potential criminal activities, such as money laundering and fraud,” according to a 2020 Senate report. U.S. banks have flagged over 150 SARs from Hunter and James Biden that included “large” amounts of money tagged for further review by the Treasury.

“The US Department of Treasury needs to release every single suspicious activity report on the Biden family,” Cruz said on his podcast. “Janet Yellen, you have a choice: You are either actively covering up potential evidence of corruption or release every one of them to the American people.”

In March, the Treasury gave House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) access to the SARs — only after months of stonewalling and delay. Upon review of the SARs, Comer (R-KY) announced Monday that a total of nine Biden family members may have profited from the family’s international business schemes.

In addition, Comer’s inspection of the SARs found that a Biden associate received a $3 million wire transfer from a Chinese energy company, CEFC. In turn, four Biden family members — Hunter, James, Hallie Biden, and an unidentified “Biden” — received a collective $1.3 million cut from the $3 million wire transfer. It is unknown who the six outstanding Bidens are who may have profited from the business.

Cruz demanded Yellen come clean about the reports stashed away in the Treasury and provide the information for public inspection.

“Of the nine Biden family members profiting off Communist China, let the American people decide,” Cruz said about Comer’s investigation. “If this is benign, release the reports.”

“Janet Yellen has a choice right now,” Cruz added. “If she doesn’t release those reports, she is complicit in the cover up.”

“So Secretary Yellen, release every single suspicious activity report on the Biden family. There’s no national security reason to keep them private,” Cruz said. “There’s no reason whatsoever other than if you want to be part of a political cover up.”

I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue and stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms, are hostile to people of faith and spirituality, demonize the police and protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, believe in open borders, weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and above all, dragging us ever closer to nuclear war.                                                        TULSI GABBARD

Both political sides know the DoJ is corrupt. However, while one side timidly admits it, the other vehemently denies it. The Dems are lying because they like the DoJ playing on their team, but they’re losing the narrative battle (53 percent of the public thinks the FBI is Joe Biden’s Gestapo). The Republicans are sick of their base being demonized, but lack the political power to do anything about it. Donald Trump challenged the DoJ and FBI. Look how that turned out for him. JOHN GREEN

Christopher Wray and the Politicization of the FBI

By Victoria Toensing

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has shocked many Americans by becoming a politicized law enforcement arm of the Democrat party. As the target of one of the FBI and Department of Justice political attacks -- solely because I had been talking to Ukrainian whistleblowers about Biden family corruption in that country -- I want to discuss the problem.  It starts with the most political Director of the FBI, Christopher Wray.


3. CORRUPTION IN THE FBI: The malicious and ethics-free raid on Mar-a-Lago is viewed even by many Democrats and all Republicans as vicious political intimidation, with the goal of destroying any followers of Donald Trump. This began in earnest during the "Russia collusion" case and saw its culmination in midnight raids of innocent conservatives revealing a hateful, vengeful vigilantism on the part of the radical left. In the hope that supporters of Trump and other conservative candidates would drop out of politics in fear of similar reprisals, these Gestapo tactics have not only solidified Trump's support and the support of even moderately conservative candidates, but have shown the Left to be petty children in a deranged, red-haze temper tantrum.


DOJ's arrest policies

By John Dietrich

When Merrick Garland was questioned about why excessive force was used in the arrest of Mark Houck, an anti-abortion activist who had offered to turn himself in, the Attorney General evaded responsibility for the policy by saying,

“The determinations of how to make arrests under arrest warrants are made based by the tactical operators in the district. They made the decision on the ground as to what was safest and easiest.”

Garland did not comment on the enormous expense of sending a SWAT team to arrest a father of seven.  Also not mentioned was the fact that this early morning raid tactic, first developed by the Soviet KGB, is frequently used to arrest non-violent targets.

Early morning or pre-dawn raids are designed for maximum humiliation and intimidation. Dozens of federal agents with automatic weapons, armored vehicles, and sometimes a helicopter and amphibious watercraft are used intimidate the target, as was the case with Roger Stone. In the raid on Thomas Caldwell’s home, Caldwell’s 61-year-old wife was covered in red dots from the weapons aimed at her. She begged to put on her socks before they forced her outside in the cold. Caldwell himself, clad only in his underwear, was dragged through the grass. James O’Keefe claims he was partially clothed in front of his neighbors when he was dragged out of his apartment.

The federal government has a constitutional right to arrest people for certain offenses. When it goes to enormous expense to arrest cooperating subjects, there is another motive to their actions. Intimidation and humiliation are not proper components of an arrest. There is also the factor that SWAT raids can go terribly wrong. Innocent people have been killed in their homes. The federal government has a history of heavy-handed attacks. It paid Randy Weaver $3.1 Million for the murder of this wife and son. There was also the Waco siege resulting in 75 deaths, including 25 children.

The Justice Department may be overzealous in some areas while in other areas they are reluctant to enforce the law. Merrick Garland claimed he was not aware of guidelines given to the U.S. Marshals Service to "avoid" arresting protesters outside the homes of Supreme Court justices. These protesters were in violation of 18 USC § 1507, which prohibits picketing with the intent of influencing any judge. Pro-abortion protesters have publicized the justices’ home addresses, the schools attended by their children, and their houses of worship. The protesters posed a serious threat to the justices and their families. Nicholas John Roske was arrested because he traveled to D.C. to assassinate Judge Kavanaugh. Garland’s response to these protests seems to contradict his claim that, “Threats against public servants are not only illegal, they run counter to our nation’s core values.”

How Could a Democrat Voter Learn the Truth?

By Ian MacConnell

I'm a lifelong Republican voter, born and raised in Massachusetts.  My Dad is a well informed, outspoken, rock-ribbed conservative republican.  I remember him putting a Barry Goldwater bumper sticker on our station wagon in 1964, when we lived in tough, blue-collar Worcester.  This man is afraid of nothing.  

I was afforded many opportunities to listen to lively political discourse at family events while I was growing up.  These people loved one another, so the discussions were never nasty or hurtful.  Most of the younger members of the family watching these discussions eventually gravitated toward being Republicans.  Family fights and ugly words would not have produced that result.  That was an important lesson.

It's no secret that deep-blue Massachusetts breeds rabid leftist ideologues — it's the state's chief export (and I do mean chief).  However, those people aren't anywhere near the majority in Massachusetts, even though they run the place.  The fact is, these people aren't the majority anywhere, though they try to convince us otherwise. 

Here is the problem in a nutshell.  Most Democrat voters don't realize that leftist idealogues have hijacked the Democrat party, actively pushing traditional Democrat politicians out.  They don't yet understand that the Democrat party they knew doesn't exist anymore.  Almost all of the major news organizations work together to lie to Democrat voters and feed them misinformation constantly.  Corrupted government entities like the FBI and the DOJ, and the leftists running all social media, have worked together to censor and silence any dissenting voices.  The goal is to create a false reality in the eyes of Democrat voters and shield them from the truth.  This is vital to ensure their continued support on Election Day.

Most Democrat voters I talk to up here are comparatively normal, although deceived and misinformed.  Most of them don't seem to like leftists very much, though.  Many of them can't identify with their own party anymore and feel like displaced persons politically.  When he was voted in as House minority leader, Hakeem Jeffries received 100% of the vote from his party.  It's interesting that he had only a 35% approval rating among Democrat voters at the time.  That left 65% who disapproved.  That tells me that, yes, the leftists have hijacked the Democrat party, and it tells me that there's a large pool of Democrat voters who aren't on board with their party right now.  Quite a few of them are starting to tune out, too.  Have you seen CNN's ratings lately? 

We have a rare opportunity.  Shocking levels of malfeasance and corruption from leftist Democrats have recently been revealed to the public.  They can no longer hide what they really are and what they're doing to this country.  Let's dialogue with that disillusioned 65% and show them the evidence.  They have no one else to tell them the truth.  It's the only way to undermine the stranglehold leftists currently have on the Democrat party. 

I'm not saying we should waste our time trying to talk to people who wear "pussy hats" and take their toddlers to Drag Queen Story Hour.  Only a psychiatrist can help people like those.  I'm saying that we can, and we should, try to engage positively with reasonable Democrat voters about the current state of the country. 

First, we need to get the idea out of our heads that every democrat voter is a Marxist.  Many are, there's no doubt.  However, the guy next door mowing his lawn and taking his kids to Little League is not a Marxist.  He's a guy who never hears the truth, doesn't know where to find it, is probably part of the 65% who aren't Hakeem Jeffries fans, and is likely to have tuned out of current events to keep from losing his mind.  He just doesn't know enough to stop pulling the "D" lever on election day.  If the truth can find Naomi Wolfe, then we can reach this guy.

Below are a few subject ideas, with some information links to show people.  As you see below, try to ask non-confrontational questions, and know your facts.  Remember, we're trying to expose reasonable Democrat voters to truths the lying media never let them see, not win an argument.  Try to guide them to good-quality, well sourced information on sites like American Thinker, Breitbart News, American Greatness, etc.  If you can expose them to the truth, they won't be able to unsee it.

Right Track, Wrong Track

Did you know that nearly 70% of Americans polled think the country is on the "wrong track" at this point?  That's 7 out of 10 Americans.  Do you agree with that majority?  Do you think most Democrats you know agree with the majority?  Who do you think makes up the small group who feels like everything is just fine? 

Government Censorship

Have you heard any information from the so-called "Twitter Files" on the news?  Are you comfortable with the idea of the FBI, and even the White House, censoring free speech on social media?  It's clear now that the federal government worked to eliminate all opposing political views, tried to remove people who disagreed with the Democrat party, and hid important medical information from the public.  Are you aware that it is a violation of the U.S. Constitution for the federal government to engage in censorship of any kind?  Have you ever seen the government behaving like this before?

Untrustworthy Media and Politicians

President Biden, various Democrat politicians, and the media keep repeating that President Trump said white supremacists were "very fine people" at Charlottesville.  They also say he never condemned the white supremacists.  These people are knowingly lying.  Did you ever actually see the transcript of President Trump's full remarks at Charlottesville? 

We've been told for two years that the protest on January 6 was an "armed insurrection."  That claim has been used to justify the arrest and incarceration of hundreds of people, and used to justify the censorship of those who disagree with the Democrat party.  No one outside the January 6 Committee was allowed to see any of the supposed evidence supporting all this government activity.  Recently, hidden security tapes were seized and finally made public by the speaker of the House, who allowed Tucker Carlson to play them on his news show.  Did you see any of the revelations from these security tapes?  If so, what did you think when you saw that we've been lied to by our government?  Do you still trust President Biden, Democrat politicians, or the mainstream media to tell you the truth about important issues? 

Enemies of the State?

President Biden repeatedly says that he considers conservative Republicans "enemies of the state" (here and here), as do other Democrat politicians.  Do you agree that fully half the country's voters are "enemies of the state," simply because they don't agree with President Biden and current Democrat policies?  Are you comfortable with President Biden recklessly taunting American citizens (here and here) during speeches, saying that they would "need F-15s" to prevent the federal government from basically trampling our guaranteed constitutional rights?  Have you ever heard a U.S. president saying things like these before?

The IRS Went Down to Georgia to Steal an Election

The Democrats were in a bind, falling behind and looking to make a steal.

 by  14 Comments

An estimated 3.5 million people voted in the Georgia Senate runoff election. State Voices, a leftist nonprofit, claimed that it had made 3 million voter contacts for the runoff.

ProGeorgia, the local partner for State Voices, bragged of having conducted “31,000 face-to-face conversations, 10 million texts, and 133,000 phone conversations” and of registering “tens of thousands for the midterm election” so that “voters of color turned out in early voting at higher levels than their white counterparts”. Such an outcome was inherently partisan and could and only did benefit one particular party: the Democrats.

While such claims are commonplace among party activists, State Voices and Pro-Georgia are both 501(c)(3) nonprofits. That means that they’re funded by tax-deductible contributions and are not supposed to be involved in elections. But they’re also typical of a massive network of political nonprofits which not only advocate for the Left but help Democrats win races.

“We leaned on our trusted partners in our fight for our democracy. Partnership for Southern Equity, Georgia Equality, Black Voters Matter, Coalition for the People’s Agenda, Georgia STAND-UP, and GALEO were instrumental in securing this critical win for people power,” ProGeorgia’s director, Tamieka Atkins, boasted.

The Black Lives Matter Fund has a 501(c)(4) that focuses on recruiting voters and a 501(c)(3) which engages in “capacity building assistance for community based organization” which can accept tax-deductible contributions. This is likely where ProGeorgia partnered with BVM.

“Georgia voters practically handed victories to President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris with a historic election outcome,” BVM head LaTosha Brown boasted. “Georgia owes tremendous gratitude to its Black voters, who turned out and voted in record numbers.”

BVM benefited from a $100 million voter outreach and engagement war chest from the Southern Poverty Law Center. The SPLC is also a 501(c)(3), but so are many of the Democrat organizations which are swinging elections using tax-deductible funds to bring in voters.

State Voices, through its various partners, claims similarly massive results across the country with “over 140 million voter contacts”, “1.9 million calls, 34.5 million texts”, “90 million emails” and 1 million door knocks. Parker Thayer at the Capital Research Center pointed out that these numbers trumped the 50 million voter contacts that the RNC had described as a new record.

While State Voices claims to be nonpartisan to retain its 501(c)(3) status, its partners are universally leftist groups including extremely partisan organizations like MoveOn and Color of Change. The IRS has ignored the close integration between C3s and C4s, whether it’s BVM or the ACLU balancing dual C3 and C4 arms or C3s like State Voices and ProGeorgia working closely on political goals with C4s. Either way the distinction between groups that are allowed to take in tax-deductible donations and those that are not has become a minor technicality.

And it could not have happened without the complicity of the IRS.

State Voices recently released a survey in three states on what people think “are problems and messages they may be most responsive to on issues” while emphasizing that it “encourages affiliates and partners to apply the guidance found in this research towards year round 501(c)(3) civic engagement activity” for “relevant legislative action and civic education work” but cautions about applying it to “voter registration or nonpartisan voter engagement activity without consulting counsel.” The legal firewall between polling voters about their views on abortion and then using it for “civic education”, but not “nonpartisan voter engagement”, or partisan voting engagement is equally thin.

Ever since the days of the NAACP, identity politics has been a convenient hook for setting up voter engagement organizations that appeal to particular demographics on particular issues. Nonprofits claim to be conducting “civic education” when they engage voters on the pet causes of the Democrats. But what’s the line between “civic education”, “nonpartisan voter engagement” and campaign activities? The IRS has made those lines meaningless.

And as a result, billions of dollars in tax-deductible funds have been used to finance Democrat campaign activities. This money passes through a series of ‘Russian nesting doll’ organizations as money from leftist megadonors like George Soros and foundations like the Ford Foundation is fed through smaller, but still huge middlemen like State Voices, which distribute money to their state counterparts, like ProGeorgia, that are themselves coalitions, uniting in this case, the Georgia AFL-CIO, Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, a teachers’ union and the Georgia Muslim Voter Project, along with dozens of more obscure local activist groups. Some of those groups also consist of even smaller coalitions that go down to the granular community group level.

The end result is a parallel operation that closely resembles the Democrats, shares their political views and works for the same causes, and funnels money that megadonors could not directly provide to the party to build something that is bigger and more effective than the party.

And much of it has the virtue of being tax-deductible so that taxpayers are the ones financing it.

State Voices claims that its “25 state-based coalitions… collectively partner with over 1,200 organizations.” The scale of the infrastructure involved easily dwarfs that of either party because State Voices is just one of a number of middlemen organizations that are playing a similar role.

While some campaign activities are still off limits, nonprofit cash is used to change voting rules, to finance elections, to conduct voter engagement and to collect lists used by Democrats. The nonprofit political machines shape the election battlefield so that the Democrats only have to focus on the most direct expenditures of the campaign rather than the big picture.

The IRS has made this political nonprofit taxocracy possible. It allows C3s to coordinate, partner, fund and provide resources to C4s on partisan issues. It lets C3s lobby on ballot measures while ignoring the requirement that these form only a small part of their expenditures. Its wilful neglect has permitted the Democrats to build a tax-deductible political machine that is not only altering the fabric of our country, but taking a direct and active role in its elections.

As discussed in Internal Radical Service by David Horowitz and John Perazzo, a pamphlet from the David Horowitz Freedom Center, the IRS has allowed leftists to build massive nonprofit networks aimed at achieving their political agenda. What happened in Georgia is just one example. And it’s happening not only in Georgia but all across the United States of America.

How much of an impact did State Voices and its claim of 140 million voter contacts have on the 2022 election? And how much of an impact will its over a thousand partners have in 2024?

Those are inquiries that the IRS does not want to conduct, but they are the burning questions that lie at the core of what it means to have free and fair elections. The IRS has allowed its leftist political allies to taint our elections at the base using tax-deductible money. That is its original sin and it is destroying the integrity of not only our elections, but our nation.

When the devil went down to Georgia to steal its elections, the IRS went with him. There was no fiddle of gold in it: just a Senate committed to abortion, treason and the mutilation of children.

It’s time the media and other Democrats stopped misleading the public that they believe in equal treatment and that no one is above the law

By Jack Hellner

As the media and other Democrats salivate about Trump being charged with a crime in one of the many witch hunts, they should be asked some questions. They say he must be charged because we need election fairness and no one is above the law.

So here is a sample of what politicians and bureaucrats have done in the last 12 years, and I wonder what people think is the bigger threat and who was actually above the law.

The Obama IRS targeting political opponents in an effort to silence them before elections.

It was a clear violation of the First Amendment, yet every participant of the government was above the law. They destroyed computers and lied to Congress, but the Justice Department let them off.

The U.S. Justice Department has reached a settlement with dozens of conservative groups that claimed the Internal Revenue Service unfairly scrutinized them based on their political leanings when they sought a tax-exempt status, court documents showed.

The Justice Department was involved from the start.

Obama Justice Department Was Involved In IRS Targeting, Lerner Emails Reveal

The documents prove that Lois Lerner met with DOJ’s Election Crimes Division a month before the 2010 elections.

It has to be embarrassing to the DOJ, which may not be the most impartial one to be investigating the IRS. In fact, the DOJ withheld over 800 pages of Lerner documents citing "taxpayer privacy" and "deliberative privilege." Yet these internal DOJ documents show Ms. Lerner was talking to DOJ officials about prosecuting tax-exempt entities (yes, criminally!) two years before the IRS conceded there was inappropriate targeting.

It sure helps a criminal when a biased political supporter conducts the pretend investigation. 

Obama donor leading Justice probe into IRS targeting

It looks like the Biden IRS is still targeting political enemies instead of doing their job. I have been a CPA for 46 years and not once have I seen a house call. Should we trust the IRS with 87,000 more agents?

Hillary and her aides actively destroying documents and equipment, as they violated several laws according to James Comey. Yet they all were above the law.

Hillary selling access to foreign parties after taking massive amounts of money for her Foundation and family.

More than half the people outside the government who met with Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state gave money — either personally or through companies or groups — to the Clinton Foundation

Hillary and the DNC paying over $10 million to a foreign national to create a fictitious dossier to destroy Trump.

Hillary and the DNC lying to the FEC that the payments for the dossier were for legal fees. The lies were obviously meant to mislead and hide the truth, yet no DA in New York investigated.

Clinton campaign, DNC fined by FEC for lying about Steele dossier payments

Numerous FBI officials lying to the FISA court to get permission to illegally spy on associates of Trump.

The perjurers have been above the law and yet we don't see the media and other Democrats demanding they be prosecuted.

Fake stories and witch hunts on Russian collusion.

The media and other Democrats knew there was no evidence of illegality or collusion, yet the stories persisted for years for the sole purpose of destroying a President whom they disagreed with.

The government, journalists, and former intelligence officials colluded to bury the story of  Biden family corruption specifically to hide the truth before an election. Biden didn't pay anybody to squelch the story. They did it because they were actively campaigning for him.

Hunter's business partner visited the White House sixteen times while Joe was VP yet somehow the media, who say they care about facts and corruption, still don't care. Democrats also pretend that Joe is telling the truth when he said he never had anything to do with Hunter's business deal and that he and his family never received money from foreign sources.

Report: Rob Walker Who Shelled Out Family China Payouts Visited White House 16 Times While Joe Biden Was VP

Isn't it time that journalists and other Democrats stopped intentionally misleading the public that they believe the Justice Department is impartial and that no one is above the law. It is such an obvious lie -- yet none of the people pretending to be fact checkers call them out because they are just as dishonest.  

P.OF.S JOE BIDEN PROBABLY WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ELECTED HAD BIG TECH FOR OPEN BORDERS NOT CENSORED OR CONCEALED BIDEN'S CORRUPTION AND TREASON

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DEMOCRAT PARTY? DIDN'T IT START WITH BILLARY CLINTON, WHO WORKED HAND IN HAND WITH 'CREDIT CARD' JOE BIDEN FOR BANKSTERS AND TO PERPETRATE NAFTA???

Authoritarian States ‘Want to Control People’ by Censoring Internet: ICANN

Authoritarian governments across the world are looking to censor the Internet in order to “control people”, a senior official from ICANN has said.

David Huberman, a senior official within the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), has accused authoritarian governments across the globe of looking to fracture the Internet in the hopes of controlling people.

Legally registered as an NGO, ICANN is responsible for making the international system of IP addresses function correctly, with the organisation describing itself as being “dedicated to keeping the Internet secure, stable and interoperable”.

Those within the organisation are now claiming that authoritarian governments are starting to get in the way of this goal, with Huberman telling the Cloudfest industry meeting in Germany that some states now aim to cut up the Internet in order to better control their populations.

“The potential fragmentation of the Internet is a worrying topic,” Der Spiegel reports the expert as saying, before discussing the impact that such governments could have on the Internet.

“They are authoritarian governments that want to control their people,” he said.

Although Huberman did not name any individual nation-states in particular as being involved in this effort to undermine the net, the report published by Der Spiegel goes on to name China, Iran, and Russia as being the three countries tech experts are primarily focused on.

However, many governments in the West are also now jumping on the bandwagon of splitting off and censoring the Internet, with authorities in the United Kingdom and European Union in particular now regularly taking potshots at the free transmission of information online.

Authorities in Brussels have so far been the most active in forcing Internet censorship on the people, blocking its citizens from accessing a number of Russian news outlets online in March last year.

Such material can now only be accessed by those residing within the bloc through use of a virtual private network (VPN), similar to how those living within Communist China must use such services to access many Western websites and media outlets.

Politicians in the United Kingdom appear to be just as keen on implementing widespread Internet censorship, with the country’s planned Online Safety Bill set to hand regulators widespread powers to force social media firms to censor content deemed to problematic.

As of the time of writing, such targets of censorship will range from already highly illegal content such as child pornography to perfectly legal material that simply upsets the progressive sensibilities of those ruling Britain.

The planned censorship regime has been widely panned by various tech firms as being set to end Internet privacy in the UK, with the bill set to render end-to-end encryption effectively illegal by mandating chat apps spy on their userbase using AI to make sure they are not doing anything illegal.

Multiple apps, including Signal and WhatsApp, have now threatened that they will withdraw their services entirely from the country should the bill become law, saying that the measures would completely compromise security and privacy on their platforms.

Tulsi Gabbard Saves the Day for America – and for the GOP

Exposing the malice behind the Democrat agenda.

October 20, 2022 by Wayne Allyn Root 8 Comments

 

I never thought I’d be thanking an ex-Democrat former congresswoman and presidential candidate for telling the truth, exposing the evil Democrat agenda and saving the GOP. But former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard just broke the mold.

Tulsi, we all love and appreciate you. You are our hero. You may have changed the midterms. You may have just saved America!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your courage, strength and raw honesty. You have done something that no one could even imagine before this week. You just broke with not only the entire Democrat Party, but also the D.C. swamp, the deep state and the evil cabal of Marxist Democrat donors like George Soros and Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum.

You just exposed the purposeful Democrat plan to destroy this country. Remarkably, you said it louder and with more truth than 99% of Republican officeholders and 99% of Republican candidates in this election.

Gabbard’s exit statement in leaving the Democrat Party sounded like I wrote it. It was word for word everything I’ve said on my national radio show, two national television shows and podcast for years. Word for word.

We finally have a true Democrat insider who has witnessed and exposed the evil of the Democrat Party.

Gabbard didn’t just say something short, sweet and meaningless, like “I’m not leaving the Democrat Party; the party left me.” She stuck a sword through their heart like a hero killing a monster. She destroyed the Democrat Party like no former Democrat officeholder has in history. She explained in detail their radical agenda.

Gabbard’s exit speech read like a Donald Trump or Wayne Allyn Root stump speech. She called Democrats an elitist cabal.

She admitted they have weaponized the government against conservatives.

She blames Democrats for wanting to kill free speech and send their political opponents to prison.

She reported Democrats are anti-white — in other words, she admitted Democrats are racists who hate white people.

She said Democrats are hostile to people of faith — and want to take away our God-given freedoms.

She admitted Democrats have purposely opened the borders to destroy America.

She reported Democrats hate and demonize the police and openly protect and support criminals.

She said Democrats are a cabal of warmongers intent on starting World War III and bringing us purposely to the brink of nuclear war.

She said Democrats don’t believe in government of, by and for the people, but rather a government of, by and for the powerful elite.

She warned of the woke direction these radical, extreme idealogues are taking our country.

And then she added in a media interview that Democrats are ushering in the “normalization of pedophilia.”

All true. But… WOW. My jaw is on the floor. No former high-level Democrat official has ever said these words in history.

I’ve reported and warned about every one of these threats to our country for many years. So, what’s the significance of Gabbard saying these same things?

No. 1: She is the first Democrat congresswoman and former Democrat presidential candidate to ever admit any of this. That’s credibility.

No. 2: She is giving an “insider” account of what is happening in the Democrat Party at the highest levels. She is a witness. She proves what I’ve always warned: These are not mistakes, ignorance or incompetence. This is all a purposeful, planned, coordinated, radical, extreme, communist, globalist, fascist attack on America.

No. 3: Her words should embolden moderate and RINO Republicans to tell the truth about how bad this attack on America really is — 99% of Republican candidates have never gone this far, never used words like this. They are cowards, scared of their own shadows. They’re worried about what the media would say about them. Hopefully Gabbard’s words will embolden (or shame) them to start telling the raw truth about what what’s really happening to America. Gabbard gives them cover.

No. 4: Gabbard’s brave words and action could inspire moderate, non-insane Democrats like Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona to leave the Democrat Party to become either Republicans or independents.

My hope is that Tulsi Gabbard is the canary in the coal mine. She is the model. She has started a trend. She has started a tsunami away from the radical, insane, extreme, America-hating Democrat Party.

Gabbard then backed up her words by immediately endorsing two MAGA, America-First Republican candidates: Joe Kent for Congress in Washington and GOP Senate candidate Dan Bolduc in New Hampshire. I don’t know if Gabbard is officially joining the GOP, but it’s a darn good start!

Tulsi, it’s great to have you on my team. Welcome to “Wayne’s World.” You may have just changed the direction of America. You may have just saved the GOP with your raw truth. God bless you.

Manchin and Sinema, are you listening? If you’re not radical traitors, intent on destroying America, hating white people, supporting criminals and pedophiles, killing free speech and starting a nuclear war, Tulsi Gabbard says it’s time to leave the Democrat Party. America needs you.

Justifying The Suppression of Conservative Content

Leftists aren't as blind as conservatives think they are.

 by  6 Comments

According to the avalanche of posts by reporters Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss, and writer Michael Shellenberger, to whom new Twitter owner and CEO Elon Musk provided access to internal communications, Twitter massively “shadow-banned,” restricted and even flat-out blocked access to conservatives and conservative content.

So, how does the anti-Donald Trump and the anti-conservative Left ignore and even justify this nefarious practice? How do they completely ignore real “election interference” and this blatant attack to manipulate information to alter what we read, how we think and how we vote?

One defender wrote: “So it’s just occurring to so called conservative ‘intellectuals’ that private companies have internal memos discussing business practices. Amazing.”

The same leftists who dismiss the Twitter expose on the grounds that “it’s a private company” see no problem using government to compel a private company to provide health insurance, minimum wage, racial diversity and sensitivity training, paid medical and family leave or to require at least one female on its Board of Directors (a California law that was struck down as unconstitutional promptly followed by California Gov. Gavin Newsom signing another bill that requires at least one member of the “disadvantaged” community to be on the board of a private publicly held company, headquartered in California.)

It’s one thing to suppress conservative content and conservatives, it’s another not to tell them — and it’s another level of evil to deny that they do it. Fox News writes: “CEO Jack Dorsey and top Twitter employees, as well as members of the liberal media, have repeatedly claimed over the years that the social media company did not ‘shadow ban’ users or secretly censor conservative accounts.

“Yet, the second installment of the ‘Twitter Files’ released Thursday (Dec. 8) revealed a comprehensive system and internal communications in which the social media site created SECRET (emphasis added) ‘blacklists’ that applied to certain users and tweets, many of which leaned right politically.”

Consider this July 2018 statement by Twitter product lead Kayvon Beykpour and Twitter lawyer Vijaya Gadde who said “we do not shadow ban”: “You are always able to see the tweets from accounts you follow (although you may have to do more work to find them, like go directly to their profile). And we certainly don’t shadow ban based on political viewpoints or ideology.”

In August 2018, in an interview with Fox’s Sean Hannity, Twitter founder, then-owner and CEO Jack Dorsey was adamant: “We do not shadow ban according to political ideology or viewpoint or content. Period.”

Dorsey, in a 2018 interview with CNN’s media critic Brian Stelter, was equally emphatic: “Are we doing something according to political ideology or viewpoints? And we are not. Period. We do not look at content with regards to political viewpoint. We look at behavior.”

In September 2018, Dorsey appeared before the House Energy and Commerce Committee where this exchange took place:

Rep. Mike Doyle, D-Penn.: “I want to read a few quotes about Twitter’s practices and I just want you to tell me if they’re true or not. Social media is being rigged to censor conservatives. Is that true of Twitter?”

Dorsey: “No.”

Doyle: “Are you censoring people?”

Dorsey: “No.”

Doyle: “Twitter’s shadow-banning prominent Republicans … is that true?”

Dorsey: “No.”

Journalist and author Glenn Greenwald tweeted: “The list of prominent conservative US/Western elected officials, journalists, authors, etc. banned by Big Tech is very long.

“No establishment left-liberal voice ever is.

“To deny Big Tech censorship targets conservatives requires pathological lying.

“Name the comparable Dems?”

Given that much of Left/Dems/liberal media/Hollywood/academia/Big Tech think of most conservatives — to quote Biden — as “semi-fascists,” they view suppression of conservatives and conservative content on social media as an act of patriotism.

But on one level, this corroboration that social media suppresses conservative content and therefore stifles the exchange of differing ideas and opinion is good news. This means that the American Left is not quite as blind on many issues as conservatives think. The American Left cannot know what they are prevented from knowing by those who believe they know better.
