The questions beg to be asked. Are our political and academic classes that fatuous and dense? Or are they so jaded in their partisanship that they are willing to commit an actual insurrection against the American people because of their political power greed?
Such is the question that we are presented with in scrutinizing an opinion editorial in The Hill (and, by the way, if you are under the delusion that publication is fair and balanced or conservative, you’re smoking something Hunter Biden would share) by two established far-Left operatives, Evan Davis and David Schulte.
Davis, a former editor-in-chief of the Columbia Law Review and counsel to New York Governor Mario Cuomo (D), and Schulte, an investment banker and former editor-in-chief of the Yale Law Journal—and good friend and financial supporter of Barack Obama, are ignorantly parroting the nonsense promoted by US Rep. Jeremey Raskin (D-MD), that somehow, Donald Trump is ineligible to hold the presidency because of Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment, which states:
“No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof...”
Davis and Schulte, like Raskin, insist that there has been some sort of adjudication that insurrection occurred on January 6, 2021, and that is was planned and executed by Donald Trump.
Davis and Schulte write:
“Disqualification is based on insurrection against the Constitution and not the government,” the authors write. “The evidence of Donald Trump’s engaging in such insurrection is overwhelming. The matter has been decided in three separate forums, two of which were fully contested with the active participation of Trump’s counsel.”
Davis and Schulte, like Raskin, cite the main charge of Trump’s second impeachment trial, “incitement of insurrection,” which all 222 Democrats voted in favor of, as proof. Trump was acquitted by the Senate on February 13, 2021.
Davis and Schulte went on to cite “the Colorado five-day judicial due process hearing, during which the court found “by clear and convincing evidence” that President Trump engaged in insurrection as those terms are used in Section Three.
And lastly, the authors cited the farce that was the Nancy Pelosi House Select Committee that investigated January 6, arguing that evidence from witnesses leads to “the inescapable conclusion…that Trump engaged in insurrection against the Constitution.”
For men educated at Ivy League universities, these two are as constitutionally illiterate and devoid of critical thinking skills and common sense as they come, maybe but for Raskin.
Let’s take each piece of “evidence” in reverse order.

The House Select Committee's investigation of the events of January 6th was contested in its legitimacy from the start because the minority party was denied the right to seat members from its caucus, thereby making the exercise one of political persecution and partisan politics.
Further, the committee selectively presented evidence to support a predetermined narrative. The committee cherry-picked evidence and refused to release or discuss all relevant information, particularly anything that might contradict their findings or narrative. This includes exculpatory evidence, which was hidden or not adequately explored.
In addition, a former ABC News producer helped stage the hearings, and it’s easy to see that the committee was more focused on creating a compelling narrative for public consumption than on conducting a legitimate investigation.
Then there is Davis and Schulte’s citation of the Colorado court hearing, not a trial but a hearing, and a hearing that invalidated itself from the very beginning.
Set aside, for a moment, that after the “verdict” was affirmed by the Colorado Supreme Court, it was sent on appeal to the US Supreme Court, which did “not address the finding that Trump had engaged in insurrection.” For the SCOTUS not to address that point, basic to the appeal, is an action of ipso facto “denial of certiorari,” dismissal for lack of jurisdiction.
And, to put a legal and constitutional cherry on top of that, let’s not forget that Colorado, like all states, is bound to the Supremacy Clause—Article VI, Clause 2 of the US Constitution—which states:
“This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.”
But let’s look at the big kahuna here: Davis and Schulte’s assertion that a House impeachment, devoid of a Senate conviction, is something more than it is: a failed indictment.
Impeachment by the House of Representatives is equivalent to an indictment by a grand jury in criminal law. Both are formal charges or accusations of wrongdoing. The House votes on articles of impeachment, which act as charges against the President.
However, just as an indictment does not lead to a conviction if the trial results in an acquittal or a hung jury, an impeachment alone, without a Senate conviction, has no consequences, the impeachment effectively fails to achieve its ultimate purpose, much like an indictment that does not lead to a conviction.
Like an indictment that doesn't lead to conviction, a House impeachment without a conviction in the Senate doesn't legally harm the accused beyond the stigma or public perception. It does not result in the President's removal or any legal consequences related to the office. Therefore, the Senate's failure to convict Donald Trump on the charge of “incitement to insurrection”—in the appropriate and germane jurisdiction for the accusation—serves as an acquittal of the charge.
As a final nail in the coffin of this issue, because Mr. Trump was acquitted in an impeachment hearing trial in the US Senate, he is protected from all other actions under the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Fifth Amendment, which reads, in part:
“...nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb…”
I discuss this singular point in more depth in an article titled, Excuse Me? Trump Has Already Been Acquitted on Insurrection Charges.
And so it would seem that the cancerous infection of Trump Derangement Syndrome is so pervasive on the political and ideological elitist Left that they are not only willing to trample the US Constitution and the established rule of law to get their way, but they are also willing to enact an actual insurrection against the American people in their attempt to deny an election mandate.
So, who are the election deniers? Who is attacking our democracy—our Constitutional Republic? It certainly isn’t Mr. Trump, and it’s definitely not the American people who provided that electoral mandate. Evidently, it’s the elitist Left of the Obama-Clinton-Biden ilk, you know, the ones who have delivered us to one of the most embarrassing times in American history, bar none.
I have a learned and worldly friend who is perpetually amazed at how the so-called educated and elitist classes can be so astonishingly foolish. She often ponders a relevant question: How can individuals with such impressive credentials and book-smarts be so incredibly dumb?
I suggest that question be asked about Davis and Schulte.

The heads of far-Left and usual suspect media outlets are exploding all over the world at Donald Trump’s recent statements about Canada and Greenland, and maybe a bit less so about the Panama Canal. But those who are so alarmed fail to understand the “art of the deal” type of thinking being employed here.
Recently, Trump extended his holiday wishes to “Governor” Justin Trudeau of Canada. Of course, Trudeau is the prime minister of Canada.
In his holiday message, Trump pointed out that Canadian citizen's taxes are far too high. In mentioning that fact, he playfully said, “but if Canada were to become our 51st State, their taxes would be cut by more than 60%, their businesses would immediately double in size, and they would be militarily protected like no other country anywhere in the world.”
In a separate statement, he went on to say that he had just met with hockey legend Wayne Gretzky and suggested that he run for prime minister of Canada, alluding to Gretzky in saying he would soon be “the Governor of Canada.”
Trump also extended his holiday cheer to the people of Greenland, who he said “is needed by the United States for National Security purposes and, who want the US to be there, and we will!”
And he didn’t forget his favorite target, communist China. To which he said:
“Merry Christmas to all, including to the wonderful soldiers of China, who are lovingly, but illegally, operating the Panama Canal (where we lost 38,000 people in its building 110 years ago), always making certain that the United States puts in Billions of Dollars in ‘repair’ money, but will have absolutely nothing to say about ‘anything.’”
Of course, Trump’s words toward the communist Chinese came after he addressed the issue of excessive shipping fees assessed by the Panamanian port authority operating the Panama Canal. Reliable reports indicate that Chinese nationals—most likely PLA soldiers—operate the canal daily. Trump proposed that if they did not stop “ripping off” the US by charging obscene fees for using the canal (built and owned by the United States until President Jimmy Carter), the United States would retake it.
Can’t you hear the exploding of the heads of the usual suspects in the mainstream media and on the radical Left?

In typical kneejerk fashion, those who feel anyone cares whether or not they get in front of a microphone immediately did so.
Múte B. Egede, Greenland's Prime Minister—who obviously takes thighs way too seriously, stated: "Greenland is ours. We are not for sale and will never be for sale. We must not lose our long struggle for freedom. Greenland is not for sale."
José Raúl Mulino, President of Panama, who equally lacks any sense of jocularity, stated: “Panama's independence is non-negotiable. The canal and surrounding area belong to our country and will remain so.”
And Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada—who many believe to be the illegitimate son of Fidel Castro, raced to the microphones and cameras and declared: “This is not a laughing matter. Threatening tariffs and then joking about annexation shows a lack of understanding of our sovereignty and the respect due between allies.”
To borrow a phrase from Sgt. Hulka in the movie Stripes to apply to each of these pearl-clutching Karens, "Take it easy, Francis."
To cite another age-old adage—albeit to apply it in reverse (and anyone with an intellect larger than that of figgy pudding understands this), what Trump is doing here implementing a strategy where he is asking for much more than he expects to get, settling for less but still achieving his actual goal.
So, let’s look at what Mr. Trump did and how Egede, Mulino, and Castro—oops, I mean Trudeau—were played.
In the aftermath of Trump’s statement about Greenland (which is a nation in the kingdom of Denmark), Denmark announced a significant increase in defense spending aimed at strengthening Greenland's defense capabilities. This included a package worth at least $1.5 billion for new inspection ships, drones, dog sled teams, and upgrades to civilian airports to handle military aircraft.
Trump threatened annexation and received a bolstered native defense of Greenland that would help protect the United States and the free world…at zero cost to the US.
In Canada, Trump not only kept the issue of high taxes front and center for the Canadian people, but throttled up the pressure on the Trudeau administration, currently under attack and facing a vote of no confidence that would end Trudeau’s term as prime minister. That pressure also aids the budding conservative movement in Canada at the national level.
Trump talks about Canada being annexed as the 51st State and helped advance a more fiscally responsible and conservative government in Canada while taking out one of Klaus Schuab’s World Economic Forum golden boys.
And in Panama, Trump put a spotlight on the continued aggression and expansion of the communist Chinese in the Western Hemisphere, refocusing attention on the still-relevant Kennedy Doctrine (Monroe Doctrine), which is being violated under the guise of communist China’s membership in the World Trade Organization.
Trump brings up communist Chinese activity and high fees at the Panama Canal, and the world has to address communist Chinese imperialism and expansion even as the far-Left has to admit they are in bed with imperialists and colonizers.
Trump threatened to take a mile, and the kneejerkers surrendered their inches.
As I said before, anyone with an intellectual capacity over that of a rusted bolt understands what Trump was doing with his statements.
Evidently, those with access to the microphones and cameras—and many with places in the halls of power—possess the intelligence and critical thinking skills of inanimate objects; of rusty bolts in rancid cups of figgy pudding. To that, I say that maybe a good New Year’s resolution would be to expunge these idiots from the halls of influence and power and start paying heed to and electing those who employ critical thinking skills and common sense.
And as the far-Left’s grinch drove out of sight, all the little shuddering Karens and globalist ne’er-do-wells heard him say, “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a huuuuuuge night!”

Christmas is here, and I thought I would take a different tack, away from the overt politics of the day, and talk a bit about what I speak of at the end of each podcast.
Everyone recognizes the spirit of Christmas when the season approaches. Sadly, a lot of that spirit centers on material things because the profiteers and marketers never miss an opportunity to exploit our consumer society to their benefit. I’m not saying they’re bad people for it, but it would be nice if it weren’t “so slam it in your face” and “jam it down your throat” 24/7/365.
No, the Christmas spirit I am talking about is the “peace on earth, goodwill toward men” spirit. The spirit of brotherhood—and sisterhood, I don’t like to play those woke word games, so you know what I mean. If you’re offended by that sort of thing, well, I don’t think you listen regularly anyway.
At the end of each podcast, I always ask people to talk about politics, religion, and current events with their family, friends, and colleagues. My point in doing so is that when we have these conversations, we start to realize that we all have a lot more in common than we do in difference. It helps us—all of us—realize we aren’t in this thing called life alone, that we are part of a brotherhood—the brotherhood of man.
Now, I’m not naive enough not to see that there are some nefarious people in the world. There are. They are the weak, even though they see themselves, most times, as powerful and influential. These outliers, sadly, we won’t be able to reach with any message of brotherhood in the time we have on this earth. These are the people we must keep in check every day so that their egos and greed don’t damage our lives any further than they already have.
But those outliers are the exception, not the rule. The common rule, the commonality of natural law, is the brotherhood of man.
The brotherhood of man is a powerful thing, even emerging during times of war and revolution.
During the American Revolution, the faithful gathered in their churches regularly and heard messages of unity and brotherhood from their priests and preachers. These messages fostered unity among the diversity of the colonists who, through that message, achieved e pluribus unum, out of many, one.
These messages promoted a shared identity and common purpose, emphasizing the idea that all of the colonists were part of a greater American family fighting for liberty and freedom from the tyranny of King George. This sense of brotherhood was vital in rallying support for the revolutionary cause, encouraging mutual aid and sacrifice among the populace.
This message, this brotherhood of man message of unity, was instrumental in mobilizing both soldiers and civilians, reinforcing the shared resolve needed to endure the hardships of war and to envision a new nation built on principles of equality, freedom, liberty, and fraternity.
During World War I, an extraordinary event known as the Christmas Truce occurred—spontaneously—along various parts of the Western Front in December 1914.
On Christmas Eve, soldiers from opposing sides, primarily British and German troops, began to fraternize, singing carols, exchanging gifts like cigarettes and food, and even playing impromptu games of soccer. This unofficial ceasefire saw men emerging from their trenches to meet in “No Man's Land,” sharing moments of peace and humanity amidst the horrors of war.
Although the truce wasn’t universal and varied in duration, with some areas seeing brief moments of ceasefire while others lasted for days, it remains one of the most poignant examples of human solidarity—of the brotherhood of man—during wartime, showing that even in the darkest times, the spirit of Christmas, the sentiment of “peace on earth, goodwill toward men,” could momentarily halt the brutality of conflict between peoples.
Today, as our society, our brotherhood, exists threatened by ideologues who purposely attempt to gin up discontent and division at every turn—all for their own greeds; power, wealth, influence, it is important that we understand—or reacquaint ourselves with the fact—that we are all—all of us—a part of that brotherhood of man. In the spirit of this brotherhood, this commonality, this reality, we awaken to the truth that, in the grand scheme of things, we are all in this crazy and sometimes maddening ride together.
This is why my Christmas wish for you—for all of you—is the gift of talking with one another about the issues we face—as a brotherhood, as a brotherhood in liberty and freedom—that we all talk about the things we have been told never to talk about in public so that we can arrive at the realization of that brotherhood.
So, grab a glass of whatever it is that you choose when you are setting yourself to revelry, and take just a few moments to talk with your family, friends, colleagues, and acquaintances about politics, religion, and current events. Please employ a tone appropriate for the holidays—a tone steeped in peace on earth, goodwill toward men—and listen, really listen, just as much as you search your heart for the right words necessary to express your true feelings, not the narratives you have been led to believe are your thoughts on these matters.
It is when we all achieve that intellectual symbiosis, that meeting of the minds, that we realize of memberships in that brotherhood of man. It is then that we diminish the power and greed of the outliers. E pluribus unum. Out of many, one.
Then, when we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL AM930 & FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.
I wish each and every one of you a happy, healthy, and meaningful Christmas. My the brotherhood of man erupts in your soul, and my you keep that brotherhood in your heart…always.
And as I do each year, I leave you with the meaning of Christmas, as conveyed to us by Linus VanPelt.

As we approach the start date for Trump 2.0, it appears some of the more partisan Deep State, uniparty Democrats—and their RINO compatriots—are starting to regain their confidence after the election slap down they received from the American people, not Donald Trump, although he was on the ballot and was the vehicle. The slap down came from the American people, the voters.
Some are desperately trying to ignore the mandate for change the American people voted for in November, but then, we can’t expect the grifters of the inside-the-beltway bureaucracy to change just because the people demand it. That would be like having representative government. I mean, really!
No, they will have to be expunged from Washington either through the electoral process—which, given the lack of critical thinking skills among the progressive electorate, is nothing more than a pipe dream—or by the process of that age group dying off of organic, granola-like natural causes, of course. One of those two things will have to happen before we are rid of their Constitution Avenue palmistry.
One arrogant uniparty tool—and yes, I am using the word in the way you think I am—is US Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), who recently attacked the existence of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s influence in the Trump 2.0 administration. In a pathetic attempt to define the narrative away from the federal government’s bloated budgets, spendthrift spending, and overall fiscal irresponsibility, Murphy said:
“Why do we, all of a sudden, decide to take this government efficiency task force seriously? Like, why are we acting as if this is legitimate?...[DOGE is] “not a department…it’s being run by two billionaires, people who have no idea how important basic government services like Medicaid, Social Security, Veterans Benefits are to regular people.
“But there are a lot of Democrats, you know, openly saying, ‘I wanna work with them, I want to sit down with this group' giving the appearance that this is something other than either than just a TV show or an effort by the billionaire class to privatize government to benefit themselves, which would be par for the course because all Donald Trump has shown us is that he wants to monetize his power for the benefit of himself and his friends…”
Let me get this straight. The guy who gave—and plans to give— his presidential salary away to charity is only out for himself. That’s some twisted and convoluted stuff right there.
And as for Musk and Ramaswamy working to kill a Continuing Resolution, how was killing a bill that was packed with politics, pork, and opportunistic protection, “privatizing government to benefit themselves?”
Let’s look at some of the more egregious things that Deep State uniparty reprobates—from the Left and the RINO classes—tried to stuff into that now dead bill:
* Immunity for J6 Committee members
* Nullified Statutory PAYGO so the government doesn’t have to pay for programs by offsetting spending elsewhere
* Funding for a new Washington Commanders stadium
* Congressional pay increases of $70,000 annually
* Renewal of the Global Engagement Center (a vassal for government censorship)
* Expansion of vaccine and mask mandates, as well as pandemic policy
* Redistribution of Social Security Funds
* Exempted members of Congress from having to enroll in Obamacare
* Redefined “criminal offenders” to “justice involved” individuals
Add to that the ideological spending that seems to be mandatory when you are a Deep State unipartier; things like $15 Million for Egyptians' college tuition—the tuition of Egyptian college students, $400 thousand for clothing for transgenders, and $500 thousand for a DEI zoo.
Aside from the fact that none of this—none of it—has anything to do with the core functions of government, we must come to the realization it’s all pork bullshit. How does any of what the Far-Left and RINO classes wanted in the original CR “benefit” Donald Trump, Elon Musk, or Vavek Ramaswamy? How does it benefit anyone but the devout special interest groups of the neo-Marxist transformative Left?
Yet, that’s what Murphy insisted. That hacking the spendthrift bullshit from a bill meant to fund the core obligations of government is somehow benefiting the billionaires.
I said this recently, and I will say it again. People who have awakened to be pissed off at the opportunistic grifter class that our federal government has become must keep the pressure on! Yes, Donald Trump—a disrupter if there ever was one—emerged victorious in the election, thank God. But that is not the total of the battle. Not by a long shot. It is just the beginning.
In this war to reestablish the people’s dominance over a now tyrannical federal bureaucracy—and one that has no understanding at all of fiscal restraint, we cannot let usual suspect uniparty operatives—like Murphy, Mitch McConnell, Hakeem Jefferies, Susan Collins, The Squad (or at least those remaining members), Lisa Murkowski, and the like—we can not let them reassume the ability to craft the narrative away from the truth.
The reason the people—and again, I say this, not Donald Trump, although he was the vehicle, but the people—the reason we won in November is because we realized that they have been lying and swindling us for decades and decades and we finally—finally—got off our asses and said, “Enough!” To cede that victory to the grifters of the Deep State uniparty after all we have been through would be catastrophic.
It would be catastrophic because it would prove the Deep Staters correct. That they are above the law. That they can do anything they please and get away with it. That we are as gullible and lazy as they believe us to be.
Well, I am here to tell you these truths. The uniparty Deep Staters are not above the law, and they must be held accountable for their unethical and malicious actions, like stuffing a CR with pork and special interest agenda items and expecting us to just roll over and take it.
In fact, how about we all get pissed off enough to demand they actually do their fucking jobs and craft and pass legitimate budgets instead of kicking the can down the road and executing Continuing Resolutions? How many post offices can be renamed as a priority over crafting and passing a budget?
To that end, all budgetary items should be legislated on a stand-alone basis so no one can attach inconsequential items to them in an effort to hide the pork. Hell, every piece of legislation should be executed in a stand-alone manner, so we know how our elected are voting without any excuses.
The Constitution Avenue palmistry must come to an end. People like Murphy and McConnell must be led to the door and tossed out onto their asses. We voted for radical change; a change that brings us back to the Constitution, not further away from it.
That said, the uniparty Deep Staters will fight to the bitter end to hold on to the dynasty of deception and grift they have built. It is up to us to keep the pressure on to tame and/or neuter these con artists and charlatans, and the only way to do that is to, as Trump said on that fateful day, “Fight! Fight! Fight!”

While social media and the information sphere buzz about the drones inundating the coastline approximate to New Jersey and New York, I can’t help but wonder if we are being blind to the real problem here.
With credible reports coming out of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that radioactive material was lost in transit earlier this month from a cargo ship headed into New Jersey, the simple explanation that the NRC and/or US military is searching for that material becomes probable.
Also credible, but further down the list, comes the truth that 80 nuclear warheads that existed in Ukraine during the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1980s are unaccounted for.
According to John Ferguson, CEO of Saxon Aerospace LLC and an expert in unmanned aerial systems—as reported in GatewayPundit.com:
“Back in the 1980s, Ronald Reagan had dismantled the nuclear program with Russia. There were countless nuclear missiles that were disarmed and disposed of. Well, there were over 80, I believe, over 80 nuclear warheads that were in Ukraine that came up missing.
“We don’t know where they are. Maybe somebody does, but nobody really knows where these are. I speak with some pretty high-level government officials on this stuff. It seems as though that is the case.
“I spoke to a gentleman a few months ago who was trying to raise the alarm to the highest levels of our government, who had their ears closed, about this one particular nuclear warhead that he physically put his hands on.
“He physically touched this warhead that was left over from Ukraine. And he knew that that thing was headed towards the United States. That is a very serious deal…”
If, in fact, this is the case, that the drones are of the US government in origin and they are looking for lost nuclear materials—a warhead or otherwise—then we have a serious and actionable problem on our hands.
If, in fact, one of the two aforementioned scenarios is the reason for all the drone activity, that makes Biden’s National Security Communications Advisor, John Kirby’s, statement all the more infuriating:
This brings me to my point and a point that I believe has been and is being somewhat overlooked. Our federal government has become a behemoth apparatus where secrecy is the order of the day, and transparency is a rarity.
Secrecy is supposed to be the rare exception for the most serious of issues and subjects, not the automatic default for anything and everything the government does. Using secrecy as a default sets the stage for the co-opting of government by the nefarious and opportunistically connected. It’s a warm petri dish for the bureaucratic Deep State to manipulate government to their will. And when the government bureaucracy, the Deep State government bureaucracy, is so entangled and controlled by K Street and the global elite—as it is today—the people kneel as slaves to the master, and that master has become the federal government.
I talk about this to a great extent in my book Nullification: The Case for Decentralizing the Federal Government. The free Constitutional Republic of the United States was never—ever—supposed to have an all-controlling centralized government in Washington, DC. The fear of just such a centralized control was palpable as far back as the last days of Thomas Jefferson’s presidency when Jeffersonian Republicans went head-to-head with the federalists on the subject.
It has been an issue our nation has been battling and debating ever since, but in this day and age—what with the many levels of greed present in the elected and activist classes; greed for money, greed for power, greed for being seen as correct—the dangers presented by a centralized federal government are ten-fold from those of Jefferson’s era.
The secrecy surrounding the drone activity is just a by-product of the centralization of power at the federal level and a byproduct of a federal government that has gotten entirely too large. When coupled with the fact that this centralization of power is being controlled not by those duly elected to represent us in government, but by a bureaucracy that really answers to no one; that is never held accountable…well, Houston, we have a problem, a serious problem.
That means we don’t live in a Constitutional Republic any longer. Since the US Constitution created our government as a Constitutional Republic, it presents a reality and a few questions.
The reality is that a coup has taken place in the transformation of our government away from its rightful state as a Constitutional Republic.
The questions: When did that happen, who is responsible, and when will they be held accountable?

So, how much of a complete asshole is Mitch McConnell? Well, I can argue that he is an emotion-exploiting, Deep State, K Street whore of a magnanimous proportion. Put succinctly, he’s quite an asshole.
Anyone who listens regularly understands how much I loathe McConnell; a demonstrated Republican In Name Only who clings to his lust for power and control like Charleton Heston clung to his Second Amendment rights.
McConnell, the titular head of the Deep State Republican “Gang of Six”—comprised of himself and US Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, John Curtis, Lindsey Graham, and John Thune, recently took a shot at Trump Health & Human Services nominee, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., on the issue of vaccines and the vaccine approval process.
Kennedy, many would argue, is a bit more informed on the issue of vaccines than Mitch, “the Sino-Bitch,” who, with regard to the COVID vaccines—now proven to be choke-full of side effects and absent the promise of immunity—infamously stated:
"I can say as a Republican man, as soon as it was my turn, I took the vaccine. I would encourage all Republican men to do that." (March 2021)
And…
"It was a modern medical miracle. That doesn't work if people don't get vaccinated. So for whatever influence I can have over those decisions, I want to encourage everyone to get the vaccine." (June 2021)
And…
"These shots need to get in everybody's arm as rapidly as possible or we're going to be back in a situation in the fall that we don't yearn for, that we went through last year." (July 2021)
Now, the oracle of RINO-ism and purveyor of pseudo-science is feigning a superior scientific intellect in attacking a Kennedy ally, Aaron Siri, singling out Siri’s questioning of one vaccine to blanket suspicion over the whole of his opposition to BigPharma’s addiction to profiteering off of vaccine creations for anything and everything the commercial marketeers can concoct, all under the guise of “protecting” the American public.
McSino-RINO said:
“For decades, I have been proud to work with devoted advocates—from Rotary International to the Gates Foundation—and use my platform in public life to champion the pursuit of cures for further generations. I have never flinched from confronting specious disinformation that threatens the advance of lifesaving medical progress, and I will not today…Efforts to undermine public confidence in proven cures are not just uninformed – they’re dangerous. Anyone seeking the Senate’s consent to serve in the incoming Administration would do well to steer clear of even the appearance of association with such efforts.”
So, the 82-year-old—whose own physical capabilities have informed him that he shouldn’t be navigating the halls of power, let alone doing it on behalf of the people of Kentucky or the United States—is using his position to coerce those who weren’t duped by the pseudo-science of the COVID vaccine movement, into being just as ignorant in their thinking as he and his profit-motivated RINO, Deep State compatriots?
I don’t think so, Tim.
In fact, this is just more evidence of the need—the intense need—for the American people and their duly elected representatives, by virtue of the established Trump mandate, to turn the page on the opportunistic politics of the McConnell/Pelosi era. It’s time for those two reprobates and their henchmen to vaporize from public life. I mean, really, haven’t they done enough damage to the American political system over the years? Haven’t they enriched themselves to saturation at the taxpayer-funded governmental monetary feed trough?
So, to answer my own question, I guess McConnell is an asshole of historical proportion. And we should all be pretty sick and tired of his slurred bullshit.

In a world where we have been duped into believing that everyone’s individual truth must be accepted and embraced, even at the expense of facts and reality, I suppose the statement “there is no defense for what they do,” could apply to many people, entities, and organizations. But as the virtue-signaling globalist Left in the United States continues to turn a blind eye to the lethal dangers streaming by the tens of thousands over our open borders each month, it’s time to over-state the blatantly obvious.
There is no defense, no rationale, no excuse for the US federal government–as well as the many state, county, and local governments–to do absolutely nothing to thwart and, in fact, facilitate, in many cases, the entry into our Republic of criminal gangs from Venezuela, El Salvador, and Mexico. With every passing day, they embed themselves into our country like roaches in a tenement building.
This is not about extending a benevolent hand to Third World downtrodden in an effort to help them live better. This is about well-financed and organized criminal gangs–aided by foe governments to the United States–strategically rooting themselves in our country to occupy and profiteer from their chosen trades: Drug and human trafficking through the use of obscene and horrific uses of violence.
As reported in The New York Post:
“The vicious Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua has expanded its territory to at least 16 US states–an area that includes half of America’s population...
“Homeland Security officials last week were warned in an internal department intelligence memo about TdA’s growing presence across the country, most recently in Washington, DC, Virginia, Montana and Wyoming.
“The gang already has footholds in California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin, according to the memo...
“The gang has only increased its violent tendencies’ as it spreads, the memo added.”
In late August 2024, shocking videos surfaced of gun-wielding Tren de Aragua members storming an apartment building in Aurora, Colorado. This incident was part of a series of events leading local authorities to acknowledge the presence of the gang in the community. Incredulously–and assumably because it was during the heat of the 2024 General Election cycle, local authorities downplayed claims of the gang having “taken over” the city.
In June 2024, a 19-year-old member of Tren de Aragua was charged with shooting two New York City police officers in Queens. This incident was cited as part of a broader pattern of criminal activities by the gang, with the suspect showing no remorse about the shootings, stating it was “common practice” to open fire on police in Venezuela.
Tren de Aragua is heavily engaged in the following:
* Human trafficking, particularly women and girls for the sex trade and debt bondage
* Kidnappings for ransom
* Extortion of “protection fees”
* Drug trafficking, including cocaine, MDMA, and "pink cocaine," a mix involving ketamine
* Arms trafficking
* Theft and robbery, including retail theft, street robberies, and home invasions.
* Money laundering
* Prostitution, particularly in migrant shelters or areas with high migrant populations
* Violent crimes, including murder, assault, and intimidation to maintain control or expand their influence, including high-profile incidents like shootings of law enforcement and civilians.
And like Tren de Aragua, the El Salvadoran Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) is entrenched in the United States with a significant presence in California (particularly in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and the Central Valley), New York (notably active on Long Island and New York City), Virginia, Maryland, Texas (in Houston and Dallas), Massachusetts, Nevada, Washington, DC, North Carolina, Georgia, Ohio, and Florida (particularly in Miami). Their presence has also been felt in Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee.
In September 2016, two teenage girls, Nisa Mickens, 15, and Kayla Cuevas,16—both civilians—were viciously attacked and killed in Brentwood, New York. They were beaten, hacked, and stabbed to death by members of MS-13. One of the victims was stabbed over 50 times, and both were mutilated in an act meant to terrorize the community and establish MS-13's dominance. The attack was in retaliation for perceived slights against the gang.
These are just two of the more than 33,000 organized criminal gangs—including street gangs, motorcycle gangs, and prison gangs—currently operating in the United States. Of those 33,000, thousands of the most vicious groups, with splinter groups numbering in additional thousands, come from Mexico, Central America, and South America.
Currently, the top five most violent street gangs in the United States based on notoriety, reported violence, and law enforcement focus, are:
* Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13)
* Barrio Azteca
* 18th Street Gang
* Mexican Mafia (La Eme)
* Bloods & Crips
Left unaddressed, this list will soon include Tren de Aragua.
It is prudent to note that some commonalities exist between the most notorious gangs operating in the United States. They all engage in drug trafficking, human trafficking, prostitution, and extortion.
Of particular note are the crimes of drug trafficking and human trafficking.
The most lethal drugs that organized criminal gangs trade in within the United States include Fentanyl, Methamphetamine, Heroin, Cocaine, and Synthetic Opioids.
Fentanyl has a potency of 50 to 100 times that of morphine. Even small doses can be lethal. A significant amount of fentanyl, both in its pure form and mixed with other drugs, comes from across the southern US border. Mexican drug cartels, particularly the Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation cartels, have been major players in producing and smuggling fentanyl. Recent seizures indicate that millions of lethal doses are intercepted each year, with estimates suggesting that in 2024, Mexican authorities seized quantities sufficient for hundreds of millions of lethal doses. There have been approximately 275,473 fentanyl-related deaths from 2020 to 2023.
Methamphetamine or Meth, while not as immediately lethal as fentanyl, can lead to severe health issues, including heart failure, stroke, and addiction-related deaths. Much of the methamphetamine in the US comes from Mexico, where cartels have industrialized meth production. In 2024, significant quantities were reported to have been seized at or near the southern US border, with law enforcement in various states like California and Tennessee linking large shipments directly to Mexican cartels.
Then we have the big “H”: Heroin. Heroin is a highly addictive opioid that can lead to overdose deaths, especially when mixed with fentanyl. While the bulk of heroin production occurs in Mexico, it also comes from Colombia. Mexican cartels control much of the heroin trade into the US, with significant quantities smuggled across the southern border.
Cocaine can cause sudden death from heart attack or stroke, and its use is associated with violent behavior and addiction. Although cocaine primarily originates from South America, particularly Colombia, Mexican cartels have become central in its transportation into the US. They often control the smuggling routes across the southern border.
And last but certainly not least, we have synthetic opioids, excluding Fentanyl. Drugs like carfentanil are even more potent than fentanyl, posing a high risk of overdose. These drugs can also be produced in clandestine labs within the US, but the precursor chemicals often come from or through Mexico, with China being a significant supplier of these chemicals.
That brings us to the modern-day societal cancer that the most egregious of virtue signalers consistently turn a blind eye to in the US: human trafficking.
Many victims trafficked across the US border are exploited for both labor and sex. A significant number of these victims are children, with the risk heightened for those in migrant or asylum-seeking situations at the border. Traffickers often use deception, force, fraud, or coercion.
The US Department of State's 2024 Trafficking in Persons Report notes that globally, an estimated 27 million people are exploited for labor, services, and commercial sex. Some statistics reveal that between 15,000 to 50,000 people are trafficked each year in the United States, with approximately 25% being children and over 70% female.
It is important to understand that human trafficking is a hidden crime, and statistics often only represent reported cases. The actual numbers might be much higher due to underreporting or fear.
Now, aside from the totality of the impact that gang crime has on our nation, we need to consider a few realities to put this danger into perspective.
In comparison, the total number of fentanyl-related deaths in the United States from just 2020 to 2023—275,473—is over four times the number of US soldiers that died in the Vietnam War (58,220), and almost two-thirds of those who died in World War II (405,399).
In addition to the drug-related deaths, available data from the National Youth Gang Survey Analysis by the National Gang Center revealed that gang-related homicides averaged nearly 2,000 annually. Couple that with the 15,000 to 50,000 people that are trafficked each year and the lives destroyed by the existence of gangs in the United States total over ten times the number of US soldiers killed during the war in Afghanistan.
Yet, we still have elected officials—at every level—indignantly virtue-signaling their ignorance by failing to identify this scourge as a full-on attack by foreign paramilitary entities on the American people on American soil.
In 2020, US Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said, “We need to stop treating migrants and asylum-seekers like criminals.” US Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) said, “We need to stop the militarization of our border and instead focus on humane, sensible immigration policies.” And US Sen. Julián Castro (D-TX) said, “We should decriminalize crossing the border because it is not a crime to seek asylum.”
In 2021, US Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) said, “Our immigration system should be based on compassion, not on punishment. We need to dismantle the cruel, punitive system at our borders.” And former Speaker of the House, US Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), said in 2022, “We must recognize the dignity and worth of every individual, and that includes those who seek a better life here, crossing our borders.”
And with regard to the existence and activities of Tren de Aragua in Aurora, Colorado, where gang members terrorized apartment complexes in the expansion of their “turf,” Aurora’s mayor, Mike Coffman, made the wholly absurd statement, “The reality is that the concerns about Venezuelan gang activity have been grossly exaggerated. The incidents were limited to several apartment complexes in this city of more than 400,000 residents.”
Using Coffman’s reasoning, seizing ground to criminal gangs that trade in drug and human trafficking to the tune of over 275,000 fentanyl-related deaths and 150,000 trafficked humans in just three years is acceptable collateral damage in the pursuit of extending benevolence to people who don’t even have enough respect for the laws of our country to enter legally in the first place.
Coffman, Pelosi, Booker, Warren, Presley, and Castro fail to think it through; they fail to consider the damage their virtue-signaling—their imbecilic political posturing and ineffective benevolence causes each day. Honestly, it’s stunning that they don’t forget to breathe; they’re so vacuous in their thinking.
It is well past time that the moral grandstanders of the open borders Left come to the reality that their faux concern for these criminals’ “civil liberties” is killing people, that their virtue-signaling and ideologically-based social justice posturing is killing people, our children, our brothers and sisters, our parents and our neighbors.
The time has come for government—and this is the number one obligation of government in its compact with the people—it is time for the government, on all levels, to unite to form a militaristic response to these gangs in an effort not to control or contain them, but to eradicate them from the country, treating their actions like the acts of war that they are.
We wouldn’t tolerate ISIS or the communist Chinese People’s Liberation Army to land on our shores and kill 91,000 Americans each year, and take another 50,000 prisoners. Why are we allowing organized criminal gangs championed by adversarial nations to do so?
There is no defense for allowing this to happen. There is no excuse for allowing this proxy war to continue on American soil.
Bottom line: If your truth trumps our kids, then your truth sucks. If our kids aren’t worth fighting for, then what is?

First, let me state this for the record so no one can try to manipulate my words. The murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson is nothing short of an act of murder. I condemn the act and hope the perpetrator is apprehended and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, left to the justice meted out by a jury of his peers.
I also extend my sincere condolences to Mr. Thompson’s family and close friends.
That said, it would be wise to examine the possible motives that spurred the shooter to engage in murder, in the taking of another human being’s life.
The security camera footage of the shooting is chilling, even in a world where violence is over-glorified in the entertainment industries. The shooter, calculated and cold in his simplicity, stalked Thompson and very simply pulled the trigger…three times.
VIEW VIDEO HERE
Investigators have discovered that etched onto the bullet casings found at the murder scene were the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose.” These words are eerily similar to the title of the book, Delay, Deny, Defend, which discusses why “insurance companies don’t pay claims and what you can do about it.”
The book is a critical examination of the insurance industry in the United States, delving into how insurance companies often operate through strategies encapsulated by its title:
Insurers often use delaying tactics to slow the claims process, hoping claimants will give up or settle for less. When that doesn’t work, they often reject claims (even valid ones) by finding any reason not to pay out. And if those two tactics don’t work, many, if not most, insurers will proceed to litigation, aggressively defending and leveraging their resources to outlast or outspend the policyholder.
The book’s author uses numerous examples and case studies to illustrate these practices, highlighting how they affect individuals and the broader economy and society. He argues that these strategies prioritize profit over policyholder welfare, often at the expense of those who have paid for coverage expecting protection in times of need. The book also explores regulatory failures and suggests reforms to make the insurance industry more equitable and consumer-friendly.
So, it is reasonable to speculate that the shooter was adversely affected by the health insurance industry and decided, like the character Howard Beale in the movie Network, that he was mad as hell and wasn’t going to take it anymore.
Of course, that wouldn’t rationalize an act of murder, and it certainly doesn’t excuse it. But who hasn’t had a run-in with a health insurance company and ended up enraged and disgusted? At every turn, there seems to be a loophole or fine-print caveat that excludes what an insured patient needs or saddles him or her with co-pays that are just about as expensive as paying out-of-pocket.
Then there is the unholy alliance between the health insurance industry and BigPharma.
Insurance companies influence drug costs through their formulary, a list of insurance-covered medications. BigPharma often colludes with insurers to ensure their drugs are included in these formularies through financial incentives or exclusive deals, which usually aren’t in the best interest of patients or based on the drug's effectiveness.
Further, there have been legal actions regarding price-fixing and collusion in drug pricing, where insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies agree on pricing strategies that limit competition and keep prices artificially high.
For example. The average price for a 30-day supply (60 tablets) of the anticoagulant medication Eliquis is approximately $185 in Canada. In the United States, where we are told we have a superior healthcare system, the list price for a 30-day supply is approximately $594. That’s a $409 difference.
The average price in Mexico is approximately $85. This translates to slightly more than $1 per pill. In the United States, the land where the US federal government tried to mandate health insurance for all each tablet of Eliquis costs approximately $9.90.
That’s just one medication. Now use that as a loose base-line in contemplating how the costs of other medicines and medical procedures are affected by this unholy alliance.
Consider this. One report of cost inflation after an Emergency Room visit detailed a case where a $629 bill was issued, with $7 attributed to a Band-Aid and the rest to the facility fee for emergency services. In another example, the cost of a Band-Aid was part of a $478 bill for a minor injury treatment. The retail price of a Band-Aid is anywhere from $0.05 to $0.50.
Then there are plain old visits to a doctor. The average non-insurance out-of-pocket cost for a visit to the doctor in 2024 is anywhere from $150 to $300 for a basic visit. In 2000, that same visit cost $61. In 1980, it cost $14. These costs are based on data from the Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality.
But what about major life-threatening illnesses and how health insurance companies issue payments to cover those?
Let’s use the scariest example for most people: cancer. And please remember this is a generalization, so numbers are to be understood as approximate references. Different kinds of cancer treatments cost more and some less.
The average cost for cancer treatment in 2024 is around $150,000 per patient annually. This figure encompasses treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, and medications.
Typically, insurance might cover around 70% to 90% of the total cost of cancer treatment, assuming the patient is within network and all treatments are covered under the policy. But most—if not all—patients should expect to pay anywhere from $5,000 to $30,000 out-of-pocket annually for cancer treatment, including the deductible, co-pays, coinsurance, and any non-covered treatments or expenses.
Now, consider this. According to a study by Synchrony released in 2022, the average insured American adult with employer-sponsored health insurance could spend more than $320,000 over their adult lifetime on healthcare costs. This includes both premiums and out-of-pocket expenses. Given that approximately 92% of the US population had health insurance coverage for all or part of 2023, the math bears out that over the lifetimes of those American adults, the health insurance industry—and through them, BigPharma—extracts over $98.035 trillion from the insured.
And if they only pay 90% of the patients' costs, they make $9.803 trillion over the course of an American Generation. If they only pay out 70% of the expenses incurred, they make $68.624 trillion. So, you can see the incentive for health insurance companies to “delay, deny, and defend.”
Again, I am not defending the person who took Brian Thompson’s life. I will restate this with all seriousness and sincerity. I hope he or she is apprehended, prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and adjudicated by a jury of his or her peers.
But, and this should be taken existentially, if the shooter lost a child, a spouse, or a parent—hell, even a close friend—because a health insurance company delayed the claims process in hopes the claimant would settle for less or rejected the claim—or any of the necessary medication or medical procedures needed for survival—because of a loophole, or ended up litigating a claim to outlast or outspend the policyholder so they wouldn’t have to pay out on the claim, well, I can see clearly how that person’s hopelessness, frustration, and anxiety would have motivated him or her to do something, especially when we are talking about lifetime profits in the $9.803 trillion to $68.624 trillion range.
This is the hope of what Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in the Trump 2.0 administration represents. Is it too much for one person to tackle in one four-year stint? Honestly, yes. The Deep State bureaucratic behemoth that is the healthcare industry—to include Big Pharma—here in the United States will take generations to tame and reform, but damn it, it’s a start.
If Kennedy, Elon Musk, and Vivek Ramaswamy can work together to set in place the basis for the continued refinement and reform of the healthcare industrial complex so that it serves the American people rather than creating billionaires and placing every other country’s people before ours, we will be re-charted in the right direction.
Just my two cents, but the first things that should happen are to:
* Mandate over-state-line portability for all insurance policies
* Restrict BigPharma from the duplicitous pricing of medications between nations
* Eliminate “enrollment periods
* And last but certainly not least, unpackage health insurance plans to make them ala carte so that only age- and gender-appropriate treatments are covered in anyone’s plan.
Oh, and get the federal government—and state governments, for that matter—out of bed with health insurance companies and BigPharma. The federal government has proven itself an abstract failure in all things private sector related, especially in aspects of healthcare. The sooner we get that gaggle of self-enriching assholes out of the healthcare process, the better.

It never, ever fails, ever. Democrat Deep Staters always, always, always telegraph their deeds, transposing them onto their opposition. It’s been happening since the days of Woodrow Wilson and it continues to this day.
Today’s uniparty Deep State tool is a frequent flier: Dick Durbin, a Democrat senator from Illinois. This Chicago-machine-anointed partisan hack has demonstrated his partisanship almost every second of his career, and his latest remarks don’t deviate from his far-Left fealty.
In response to President-elect Trump’s nomination of Kash Patel to head the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Durbin issued an infantile protest full of name-calling and “it’s not fair” whining, fully unbecoming of someone seated in the most prestigious legislative body on the planet.
“President Biden kept Director Wray in office because the FBI is supposed to be insulated from partisanship. Now, the president-elect wants to replace his own appointee with an unqualified loyalist…The Senate should reject this unprecedented effort to weaponize the FBI for the campaign of retribution that Donald Trump has promised.”
What? There is so much wrong with that statement it’s hard to know where to begin. But let’s take it from the top, shall we?
Durbin’s insistence that Patel shouldn’t be seated because President Biden kept Wray in place is an imbecilic notion. Under Wray, the FBI has been used in numerous ways to affect the political persecution of Americans.
The FBI was found to have labeled parents speaking out at school board meetings as potential “domestic terrorists.” This stemmed from a memo issued by the National School Boards Association (NSBA) in 2021, which served as an attempt to categorize outspoken parents as threats. The FBI response involved investigating these parents over their legitimate concerns about how the school districts were treating and educating their children.
In 2023, a subpoenaed document from the FBI's Richmond Field Office revealed coordination with multiple field offices to produce a memo targeting traditional Catholics as domestic terrorists. This memo was later withdrawn, but the incident exposed the FBI’s religious profiling and political bias.
The FBI under Wray has targeted agents based on their political beliefs, particularly those with conservative views or military backgrounds. This includes claims of harassment and retaliation against whistleblowers who spoke out against political biases within the agency.
The FBI has also been called on the carpet for not only not aggressively pursuing investigations into Hunter Biden, suggesting a protective stance towards political figures aligned with the Democrat party, but also covering up the facts surrounding what was on his laptop, couching it all as an exercise in Russian skullduggery.
Then we have the SWAT raid at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in 2022 where we now know the FBI was being used as a political tool against Trump and his 2024 election campaign.
And lastly, for our purposes here, we now know the FBI worked with social media companies to suppress information, particularly around the federal government’s COVID disinformation campaign and the Hunter Biden laptop story before the 2020 election.
By Durbin’s “ethical” standards, Trump should leave Wray in his position, well, just because Biden did, ignoring the fact—the indisputable fact—that under Christopher Wray, the FBI has been corrupted and politicized almost beyond repair.
Not only has Wray failed in his sworn oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic,” and “bear true faith and allegiance to the same,” he allowed partisan ideologues to rise to positions of power that allowed them to thwart investigations, hobble the search for truth and justice, and use the power of the FBI and its sacred public trust to benefit political ideologues.
Wray is a failed FBI director and rightfully deserves to be fired for dereliction of duty if not scrutinized for true acts of insurrection and sedition.
But, back to Durbin and his idiotic statement.
Durbin infers that Trump appointing an “unqualified loyalist” is ludicrous in both uses of the words.
First, why would any president, Trump, Biden, Obama—any of them, appoint someone who wasn’t loyal to their agenda? The idea is psychopathic on its face. In fact, it’s absurdity is self-evident to those with an IQ over that of a grape.
But “unqualified”? Durbin dares to use the term “unqualified” in the same sentence as the name Kash Patel?
Okay, quickly, because it would take hours to fully explain why Patel is more than qualified to be a reformative FBI director in the Trump administration:
* Patel holds a Juris Doctor from Pace University School of Law and has a certificate in international law from the University of College London.
* He worked as a federal prosecutor within the Justice Department, focusing on national security cases, which gives him direct experience in law enforcement related to federal crimes.
* Patel served as a senior director for counterterrorism at the National Security Council during Trump's first term.
* He was the Principal Deputy to the Acting Director of National Intelligence, Richard Grenell, in 2020.
* He served as Chief of Staff to Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller, where he was involved in significant policy decisions and had oversight relevant to managing the FBI's operations.
* Patel worked as senior counsel to the House Intelligence Committee under Rep. Devin Nunes, where he was involved in investigations related to national security, including the Russia investigation into Trump's campaign; he exposed the Russia hoax. This role gave him insight into the intersection of politics, law, and intelligence.
In addition to those “qualifications,” Mr. Durbin, Patel has been a vocal supporter of Trump, often echoing Trump's views on the Deep State and the need for reform within federal agencies like the FBI.
So, far from being an “unqualified loyalist,” Patel’s loyalty and alignment with Trump's political objectives—along with each milestone of his career—are significant qualifications for the role, given Mr. Trump's stated goal to reshape the FBI into the organization that it once was: A federal law enforcement agency that serves the people rather than the politicians.
But, then, that’s why Dickie Durbin, the twit political hack from the glow-in-the-dark cobalt blue state of Illinois, stands against Patel’s nomination. In cleaning out the sewer that is the Deep State, Durbin’s malfeasance might come into the light, and, well, a corrupt Illinois politician can’t be having any of that…now can he?
As the flushing of the DC Swamp begins under Trump 2.0, get ready for an immense amount of pushback from Deep State uniparty assholes like Dick Durbin. They will not go quietly into the night. And that is why it is so incredibly important to keep the pressure on!!
And as a pre-post-script to it all, if the far-Left Democrats and Deep State uniparty douchebags were okay with stuffing appointments like Rachel Levine and Sam Brinton down our throats during the Biden-Harris administration, they shouldn’t have a damn thing to say about any of Donald Trump’s appointments.

Never let it be said that establishment operatives within the Republican Party apparatus can’t snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. The only questions that remain are these: Do they do it because they are power-hungry Deep Staters? Or are they just that incapable of recognizing a mandate when they see one?
The latest in the long line of “are you shitting me” moments comes in the elitist and tone-deaf remarks emanating from George W. Bush’s “architect,” Karl Rove.
In a recent op-ed penned for The Wall Street Journal, Rove is quoted as saying:
“While his nominees prepare for their hearings, the president-elect must turn to what is in many respects an equally important task: picking the No. 2s for his cabinet secretaries and administrator…It will be especially important for Mr. Trump’s picks to have capable No. 2s as undersecretary, deputy secretary, and chief deputy administrator — titles vary from place to place — especially if the No. 1 is new to government or that department’s function.”
Rove states that those “No. 2s” (I am sure that no pun was intended) should be people who have served in the agencies, departments, and commissions and know how they function; adding the entire process might be “confounding even [to] the most purpose-driven leader.”
Rove finishes up his piece by saying, President-elect Trump:
“...needs people who have been in the trenches, grappled with the bureaucracy and have some sense of its powers to distract, delay and misdirect…Shaking things up works only if doing so helps rather than hurts the American people. Doing the right thing the right way matters. Who’s No. 2 matters almost as much as who’s No. 1.”
Well, Rove has that last part right, anyway. And I do agree with him on his overall point. Trump cannot make the same mistake as during the first Trump administration (Trump 1.0). He must appoint and place people who understand the Washingtonian game and who won’t get gamed by the system. The problem here is this. The Republican and conservative inside-the-beltway bench is sprinkled with careerist, inside-the-beltway Deep Staters who, like last time around, would be quite tempted—if not motivated—to inject their self-preservative ideologies rather than faithfully carry out Trump’s Deep State destruction agenda with fidelity.
So, if we are to follow Mr. Rove’s advice and saddle the Trump nominees with establishment Republican “No. 2s,” how are we to have a reasonable expectation that those “No. 2s” won’t obstruct the administration’s anti-Deep State efforts just like many of Trump’s “No. 1s” did during Trump 1.0?
There can be no guarantee with a Washingtonian insider because that cohort has repeatedly proven to the American people that they have either a loose or non-existent relationship with the truth. Truth is “subjective” to that peer group. They can justify almost any action or infidelity, no matter how egregious.
One need only look at how the so-called Republican Senators Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Susan Collin (R-ME) abdicated their fidelity to their party’s leader during Trump 1.0.
Collins and Murkowski are two of only three GOP senators advancing to the 119th Congress who voted to convict Trump in an impeachment trial. Each has voted in line with GOP colleagues a scant 36% of the time this year. In most instances, their votes helped Chuck Schumer hammer through radically-Left judicial nominations. This voting fidelity is a far lower percentage than any other senator.
With the news that the “Deep-Statiest” Senator of them all, Mitch McConnell (R-KY), is set to step aside to pave the way for Collins to take the reins of one of the most influential committees in Congress, the Senate Appropriations Committee (a role that wields unparalleled control over discretionary federal spending), following Rove’s advice would detract from the almost impossible task of taming the federal government.
To follow Rove’s advice to install “No. 2s” from the establishment Republican and conservative bench, to install those who “have been in the trenches” and “grappled with the bureaucracy” would almost guarantee that the most necessary of reforms and deconstructions would never come to fruition.
In fact, rather than heed Rove’s advice, the Trump 2.0 transition team—and the President-elect himself— should consume the underlying sentiment of Rove’s point and take it in another direction.
Instead of placing establishment GOP bench-sitters into the “No. 2” positions as Rove suggests, why not seek out, vet, and appoint those who understand the Washingtonian inside-the-beltway games but who have been screwed over by the Deep State establishment? Strategically gather a group of potential second-in-commands who have a vendetta against those defending the status quo and the Deep State bureaucracy itself.
A battle-hardened “No. 2” with a burning desire to shatter the Washington swamp, adept at navigating Trump’s appointees through the minefield of bureaucratic sabotage laid by Deep State parasites, will be the linchpin in executing Trump’s 2.0 agenda with ruthless efficiency.
The next step is to start decontaminating the sewage pipe that maintains the steady flow of retreaded staffers that regurgitate through the departments, agencies, and commissions, not to mention the cesspool of Deep State, leaky, careerist staffers who actually run the congressional offices on Capitol Hill.
Once those things are done, we actually have a chance to take back our Republic, thanks to the man the far-Left calls Hitler.

I get a certain satisfaction from those social media memes that joke, “For every Christmas light that goes up before Thanksgiving, an elf dies.” Not that I have anything against elves. I am sure they are very nice. Thanksgiving comes before Christmas, and it is a uniquely American holiday that should be properly recognized.
We see it increasingly every year. Immediately after Halloween, the Madison Avenue marketers and profiteers start the push to “buy, buy, buy” for the Christmas holiday. In some cases, stores are starting to put up Christmas merchandise even before the Halloween candy goes on sale. Jack Skellington riding a reindeer. How pithy.
In my humble opinion, it diminishes both Halloween and Christmas. But more importantly, it completely ignores the uniquely American holiday that is Thanksgiving, and that is really disheartening.
Everyone should know the story of the first Thanksgiving and the formative history that brought it to be a national holiday. I say should because, as you all know, accurate and fact-based history isn’t taught in our schools today. Another reality that is disheartening, but I digress.
To give a brief overview, I turn to The History Channel, which, for most of what they do, at least attempted to have fidelity to the truth:
And so it is that the Thanksgiving holiday is one that is born of Americanism. It is ours as a nation, yet today, we give it short shrift as a day when we eat well, watch football (if you’re into that, my football-watching days ended with the brilliance of the 1985 Chicago Bears), and end up arguing with the outspoken and/or over-imbibed relation who just needs to display his or her ass about politics and current events, all as the whisper of Christmas licks at the window.
The fact of the matter is this. We, as individuals and as a nation, have quite a bit to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, and we should take the time to breathe and give thanks for it all.
Politically, whether you are a Trump supporter or one of the vocal few who suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome (a real affliction, I might add), we now have a government in waiting that is one of the most diverse and focused in recent history. Kennedy, Gabbard, and a plethora of individuals from outside the Deep State bureaucratic complex are focused on dismantling the inside-the-beltway apparatus, one that does very little but serve itself, in a quest to decentralize the federal government and return the taskmasters' whip to which the government is meant to obey to the people.
Societally, it appears that the abstract lunacy—and I use those words to be consumed literally—the abstract lunacy of wokeism seems to be on the wane. DEI—Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion—is being abandoned by corporations all over the country and, in fact, the world. People are slowly becoming more comfortable discussing the ridiculousness of the transgender appeasement movement (true cases of gender dysphoria are documented at just 0.014% at the high end, internationally). And the identity politics charlatans of the genderism and racism activist crowds are fast losing the sympathies of an awakening public who sees their efforts as those of division and opportunism.
But personally (and that’s what it all boils down to, doesn’t it), we all have a great number of things to be thankful for. While not a “land of perfection,” we live in the United States, and she is still the shining beacon on that hill that signals hope reigns eternal both for her citizens, those who quest to be included in her citizenry—legally, and the world.
Many of us have family and friends that, sad to say, and just about everyone is guilty of it, have family and friends that we don’t embrace enough. Thanksgiving gives us a day, if only one out of 365, to dedicate ourselves to making sure they know how we feel, whether it’s a full-on embrace or just a smile and a nod of the head.
Thanksgiving also gives us an opportunity to extend the brotherhood of man to those less fortunate than ourselves, to let those who feel they have been forgotten know they haven’t been. And to let those who serve us each day, out of sight and out of mind—the first responder firefighters, EMTs, and police officers; the nurses (both home health and institutional) and doctors, and our military men and women—to let them know we see them and are thankful for the protection they provide.
So, while you prepare your Thanksgiving feast or sit on the couch watching football while someone else does, take some time—before the eating and drinking and before the conversations that sometimes may become heated—to give some thought to all you and yours have to be thankful for. When we stop and consider that singular question, we really come to understand how “wealthy” we really are as individuals, as a society, and as a nation.
After the turkey is relegated to the sandwich-maker's heaven that the day after Thanksgiving affords, then—and only then—should we be forced to suffer the onslaught of the marketeers' “buy, buy, buy” and 24-hour-a-day Mariah Carey Christmas songs.
That was almost Grinch-like, wasn’t it?
Wishing you a very reflective, happy, and joyous Thanksgiving. God Bless America.

Well, the election is over and my stock in U-Haul hasn’t gone up any. I mean, come on, man! I thought the entirety of the caustic Left glitterati promised the American people—their fans included—that they were going to leave the country if Donald Trump won the 2024 election.
Cher, a jaded elitist, said she would leave the planet if Trump were elected—again—and more recently mentioned she would leave the country.
The comedic has-been and member of The View coven, Whoopi Goldberg, has threatened twice to leave the US if Trump became president, although she later walked those declarations back because, hey, nobody recognizes her as famous anywhere else in the world, where would she go?
Miley Cyrus, who so nauseatingly donated the “twerk” as an art form to the American petri dish of inanity, initially declared she would move out of the country if Trump won in 2016. I guess she’s waiting for the bellhop to load her luggage.
Barbra Streisand, who hasn’t done anything but shake down her sycophant buddies for $000 concert tickets for decades, suggested she would move to Canada or Australia if Trump returned to power.
Lebron James, JLo, Robert DeNiro, Ben Stiller (who?), Tom Hanks, Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift (gack), Stephen King, Julia Roberts and George Clooney (who both voiced commercials for Harris with Roberts voicing the “lie to your husband about who you vote for” commercial), Meryl Streep, Kevin Spacey, Rosie O’Donnell, Lady Gag (I mean Lady Gaga), Sharon Stone, Lena Dunham (who, again?), the list goes on and on. Elitist megalomaniacs so caught up in their own self-importance that they believe people actually give a shit whether they exist in the United States as citizens or not.
Did they really believe that the threat of leaving the country would change someone’s vote? Is their narcissism and detachment from reality that extreme? Are they that out of touch with reality?
I mean, what does their existence on US soil provide everyday Americans anyway? Is their leaving the country going to deprive us all of something critical in our lives? Will our nation suffer because they have expatriated? Were we all supposed to shriek in terror at the notion of an America without JLo or Lady Gaga, without Whoopi “Caryn Johnson” Goldberg (boy, isn’t “Caryn” appropriate in this case), or Cher?
Nobody gives a shit whether you’re here or not because what you do isn’t that important to our daily lives. You’re not here half the time anyway, and people manage to have fulfilling and fruitful lives without the blessings of your egotism and “look at me” neediness.
Do us all a favor and stop talking about it; stop “announcing it” as if it’s some once-in-a-lifetime world premiere event, and just pack up and get the fuck out! Leave already. Be gone. Vanish.
I at least give Ellen DeGeneres and Portia Rossi credit for actually leaving after making the declaration, but that won’t stop them from selling their wares to the American people, so it really doesn’t matter whether they live here or not.
But hey, maybe that’s exactly what these egotistical, self-centered maniacs need: a shot of reality.
We, in the United States—and anyone who has spent time overseas can attest to this—exist under the protections of the Bill of Rights. Not all free countries of the Western World have those protections, although some give it a good shot.
Even those who break the law have better protections in the United States than in other Western nations—and definitely in non-Western nations worldwide. Just ask any American who has had run-ins with law enforcement in a foreign country.
Truth be told, the people we really can’t do without in our daily lives are those who don’t obsess about fame, importance, and the spotlight. While we can do without Robert DeNiro and Meryl Streep, we can not exist safely without firefighters, paramedics, or police officers. While we can go about our daily lives without Ben Stiller or Rosie O’Donnell, we cannot function comfortably without sanitation workers, plumbers, electricians, or carpenters. These are the people who we need in our lives—especially if one is not completely self-sufficient, not the ego-bloated narcissist of the elitist coddled class.
So, why should we give a baboon’s red ass what the pompous glitterati think about politics or anything else, for that matter?
Let’s face it: a has-been, millionaire comedian with a caustic attitude telling you who you have to hate every day doesn’t amount to much when your goal is to put a roof over your family's heads and food on the table; their egotistical demands aren’t worth much when you have to make real-life decisions for the future, for your children’s future, or the care of an elderly parent.
Joy Behar’s inane and intellectually stunted diatribes of “agree with me or you’re a racist” hate each weekday add nothing to anyone’s life but division and conflict, and quite frankly, it’s hard to understand why she is even on the show. I mean, can you remember even one piece of comedy she ever created? What the hell is she famous for besides being a loud-mouthed, uninformed, opinionated buffoon? She certainly isn’t in the league of Robin Williams, Jerry Seinfeld, or Gilda Radner. Hell, she isn’t in the same league as Marge Simpson or Lois Griffin, and they’re fictional.
No, celebrities' opinions are worth about as much as a piece of used toilet paper, and it can be argued that the used toilet paper gives off less of a foul odor. No actor is going to come to your house to save you and your children at 3 am because your house caught fire in the middle of the night. No sports figure is going to put his life on the line by drawing down on a criminal who is trying to rob you at gunpoint. And no washed-up, spotlight-feeding comedian is going to show up at 11:30 at night to stop the water from pouring into your basement from a broken water heater.
Are there good and conscientious actors and actresses, comedians, sports figures, and other celebrities? You bet there are. But they don’t try to manipulate you into thinking a certain way by abusing their popularity. They don’t try to bully you ideologically just to falsely self-aggrandize themselves as superior to all of us little people out here in “audience land.”
Appreciate those who do the tough, dangerous, and thankless jobs that we need them to do every day, those first responders, public workers, and tradesmen who make our lives fundamentally better, not some bi-coastal elitist jagoff who demands his prosciutto be rolled into flowers and planted in a cantaloupe garden in the Green Room. These assholes pretend and muse for a living, and, quite frankly, given the quality of the products they have been producing lately, are grotesquely overpaid and exist above their true societal station.
So, to Robert, Whoopi, Cher, Babs, and the rest of you overblown, has-been, glitterati assholes who think we give a rat’s ass that you’re threatening to leave the country because of an election, hear this loud and clear; Get the fuck out and don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. We’ll be just fine.
Oh, and leave your citizenships at the door…let’s see how many are willing to do that. I’m betting not a single one.

As the mainstream media in the United States suffocates itself—superficially—on President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet nominees, an important international story goes unreported. It has everything to do with geopolitics, and the perceived act of sabotage warrants concern.
The Swedish Prosecution Authority has launched an investigation into suspected sabotage related to disruptions of two crucial undersea fiber-optic cables in the Baltic Sea. One cable connects Lithuania to Sweden, while the other links Finland to Germany. This investigation comes on the heels of Finland's announcement of its own police inquiry into these incidents, indicating a broader concern about the integrity of critical infrastructure in the region.
On Monday at approximately 0200 GMT, the 745-mile cable connecting Helsinki, Finland, to Rostock, Germany, ceased functioning, as reported by Cinia, the Finnish state-controlled cybersecurity and telecom company responsible for the cable. Simultaneously, at around 0800 GMT on Sunday, Telia Lietuva, a subsidiary of Sweden's Telia Company, reported a severed 135-mile cable between Lithuania and Gotland Island in Sweden.
The Baltic Sea, bordered by nine countries, including Russia, is a vital commercial shipping route. As such, ensuring the integrity of its underwater infrastructure is of utmost importance.
In a joint statement, Finland and Germany expressed deep concern regarding the severed undersea cables, emphasizing its broader implications for European security. They stated, "We are deeply concerned about the severed undersea cable," underscoring that "Europe’s security is threatened by Russia’s war against Ukraine and hybrid warfare by malicious actors," though no specific actors were identified. The statement highlighted the critical need to protect shared infrastructure, essential for national security and societal resilience.
Henrik Soderman, a Swedish prosecutor engaged in the investigation, announced that the cutting of the fiber optic cables is currently being treated as an act of sabotage. At an EU defense ministers' meeting in Brussels, German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius addressed the situation, noting, "No one believes that these cables were cut accidentally…[we] must assume, although we do not yet have confirmation, that this is indeed sabotage."
Recent damage to underwater infrastructure in the Baltic Sea has raised significant regional security concerns. One notable incident in 2023 involved a Chinese container ship that was implicated in dragging its anchor across telecommunications cables. The exact cause of this incident—accidental or deliberate—remains uncertain. However, the repeated occurrences of such events have sparked suspicions of potential hybrid sabotage. As a result, there are increasing calls for enhanced protective measures to safeguard Europe's underwater networks.
The ongoing incidents in the region highlight a significant concern. Recently, similar actions have been scrutinized for their potentially malicious intent. Last year, incidents involving a gas pipeline and other undersea cables raised suspicions of sabotage. This situation echoes the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline explosions, which are under investigation by German authorities.
One EU source with deep knowledge of the situation stated that other available information indicates that Russia has been behaving increasingly provocatively along its borders with Norway and Finland:
“Russia must be behind what looks like an attack, in which case it is a ‘casus belli’ (act of war, not simply sabotage).” Russia must be behind what looks like an attack, in which case it is a ‘casus belli’ (act of war, not simply sabotage). They should stop trying to reassure the public. [They] sound silly. This was to be expected in a sense. As regards the Baltic states, Putin must be trying to isolate some countries from the rest of the NATO and EU spheres. Normal tactics.”
What Should Americans Care About This
Vladimir Putin's aggressive maneuvers in the Baltic Sea, particularly in relation to NATO countries, are significant in light of his ongoing conflict with Ukraine. These actions carry important implications for the United States, especially for the incoming Trump administration.
The Baltic states—Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania—are members of NATO, and as such, any attack on these countries could trigger Article 5 of the NATO treaty. This article stipulates that an attack against one member is considered an attack against all. Consequently, the United States, as a founding member of NATO, would be obligated to respond militarily. Such a scenario could potentially lead to direct conflict between the US and Russia, significantly escalating tensions in the region.
The potential for conflict is heightened by North Korea’s deployment of military assets in the region to support the Russian war effort. This situation is further complicated by President Biden’s dangerous decision to permit Ukraine’s military to utilize US-made long-range missiles, which President Putin interprets as a direct engagement of the United States in the conflict.
Putin's use of hybrid warfare tactics, such as cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns, affects not only the regional landscape but also NATO's broader security framework, with the United States playing a pivotal role. These tactics challenge NATO's resilience and heighten the likelihood that the US will need to provide technological and intelligence support to counter these threats.
As tensions escalate, the US could find itself entangled in Russian information operations designed to instigate discord among NATO members and within the United States. These activities could significantly impact public opinion, influence elections, and alter the political landscape to the detriment of the West.
Additionally, the United States has a vested interest in promoting European energy independence as it seeks to diminish Russian influence over European politics. The Baltic Sea plays a critical role in this context, serving as a key conduit for energy security through pipelines such as Nord Stream. Any disruptions in this region not only impact European allies but also have significant repercussions for US economic interests and the overall transatlantic economic relationship.
So, Russia's aggressive actions are coaxing the United States to become more deeply involved in European security decisions. While this engagement is essential to maintain, it aligns more with the interests of the global elite, the US military complex, and the opportunistic elements of the Deep State than it does with the needs of the American people.
The geopolitical challenges and the political landmines left by the Obama-Biden-Harris administrations and the Sorosian global elite present immediate hurdles for Donald Trump upon his rightful return to office. This is one reason the mainstream media’s—and the uniparty political establishment’s—obsession with Trump’s cabinet picks is inane and, in fact, vacuous.
While dealing with this dangerous and complex situation is undoubtedly challenging, there is a silver lining in knowing that the intellectual inability of the Obama 2.0 neo-Marxist Left—ideologues such as Susan Rice, Samantha Power, and Antony Blinken, along with other remnants of the Obama administration—to affect effective diplomatic and strategic solutions is soon becoming inconsequential for they are no longer steering the ship.
That said, the disruption of internet communications in Europe affects the United States a lot more than realized at face value. It’s a hell of a lot more serious than a buffering problem on Netflix.

As the American people prepare to step back into the light from the darkness cast upon them by the progressive neo-Marxist minions of the globalist “New World Order,” we must all be keenly aware that the road back to liberty and freedom will not be an easy one. We will all have to endure some hardship as we disengage from the claws of an overreaching federal government. But it will be worth it.
The idea that the results of an election can somehow afford immediate solutions to problems and government entanglement that took decades—if not a millennium—to create is the stuff of the naive and the foolish. And while many in our Republic have been conditioned to expect instant gratification, enough of us have awakened from the stupor of the mainstream media’s disingenuous and false narratives to understand that a radical course correction away from the influences of the New World Order and toward a return to constitutionalism is desperately needed.
This awakening is why Donald Trump won the Electoral College by a landslide and captured the popular vote in the 2024 General Election. It is also why the people of all fifty states voted to give conservatives and Republicans the majority in both chambers of the Legislative Branch. And while the Republican Party goes about disenfranchising the Deep State uniparty operatives that exist within its ranks, there are enough people who have been elected to office who understand the depths of the corruption in our federal government and how it is now subservient in its station to the Deep State, and why both must come to an end.
The good news for us all is three-fold.
First, we have elected a bona fide change agent in Donald Trump and delivered the House and the Senate to him. When a conservative US Supreme Court is added to the equation, the result is an opportunity to effect some serious and real change in the federal government. Yes, the Deep State Republicans in Name Only (RINOs) can do great harm to this opportunity. Still, the ideological pendulum has recovered so far to the constitutional swing after twelve years of woke nonsense that even the most opportunistic politician knows the business-as-usual status quo cannot stand.
Second, the American people are finally ready to reduce the federal government’s footprint in their lives. Having survived the despotism of government overreach during the COVID pandemic and the onslaught of societal restriction that wokeism inflicted on them, they are starved to be left alone; to embrace a freedom unencumbered by the mandates of government not authorized by the minimalism of the US Constitution.
Americans—who identify as from both sides of the political aisle—are ready to listen to the serious conversations that surround restructuring our tax system away from one that is income-based, securing our borders and instituting a sovereignty-first immigration system, drastically culling Big Pharma and BigAg from the halls of power, expunging the totalitarian extremism of wokeness from our government departments, agencies, and commissions, and limiting the use of the US military to interests exclusive to the security of the United States.
And last but certainly not least, we have a working model proving that disengagement from government overreach and dependency results in a thriving nation and a thriving people. This model comes to us in Javier Milei’s Argentina.
What Milei has done in Argentina is nothing short of historical.
The Miracle In Argentina
Javier Milei, who became President of Argentina in December 2023, has implemented a series of reforms based on libertarianism and the disenfranchisement of governmental overreach to alter the country's economic and political landscape.
Milei's economic policies have significantly reduced monthly inflation rates. Initially, inflation was extremely high, but by February 2024, it had slowed to 13.2% from 25.5% in December 2023. By October 2024, it reached a three-year low of 2.7%, indicating a cooling of the hyperinflation that Argentina had been experiencing for decades.
One of his significant accomplishments was achieving a fiscal surplus within the first few months of his term, a feat not seen since 2012. This was accomplished by drastically cutting public spending, which included reducing the number of government ministries and firing numerous public sector employees.
Milei reduced the size of the government by more than 50%, which included reducing the number of ministries from 19 to 9. This was part of his broader policy of minimizing government intervention in the economy.
He introduced an omnibus bill aimed at giving him sweeping executive powers, which, although stalled in committee, was indicative of his aggressive approach to reform. His government passed historic reforms through the Chamber of Deputies, including repealing over 300 articles of laws, revoking regulations, and promoting the privatization of state-owned entities.
And although plans for dollarization have been delayed, Milei's administration has focused on stabilizing the peso, which has become one of the world's best-performing currencies under his tenure. This was part of his broader economic strategy to control inflation and stabilize the economy.
Milei has shifted Argentina's foreign policy away from the neo-Marxism that plagues the governments of Central and South America, notably by not renewing diplomatic relations with Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. Instead, he has labeled them dictatorships and is seeking closer ties with Western democracies, including pursuing a NATO global partnership.
But, from the beginning, Milei was open and honest about the fact that, in the short term, some pain would have to be endured. His administration enacted harsh austerity measures, which included lifting price controls, reducing subsidies (particularly for fuel and transport), and cutting public works contracts. While controversial, these measures aimed at reducing government expenditures and tackling inflation.
Are these same governmental and social maladies not shared by the United States in the aftermath of the poisonous rule and influence of the neo-Marxist progressive movement?
Despite initial opposition and protests—mostly spurred on by the socialist-leaning elements in Argentine society, credible polls indicate that over 50% of Argentines had a positive view of Milei as of late May 2024, indicating a level of public support for and acceptance of his revolutionary reforms.
These accomplishments reflect Milei's commitment to his campaign promises of implementing shock therapy economics, reducing state intervention, and promoting free-market policies. And Milei’s innovative approach to healing his nation hasn’t gone unnoticed.
The Beginning Of The New New World Order?
Milei became the first foreign leader to meet with President-elect Donald Trump during a visit to Mar-a-Lago for the first-ever meeting of the America First Policy Institute. There, he gave a speech that put the World Economic Forum globalists on notice that sovereign nations will not simply become useful idiot cogs in their authoritarian monocratic scheme.
Milei said, in part:
“In 1848, Marx began that sinister pamphlet, his Communist Manifesto with a phrase: A specter is haunting Europe. The specter of Communism. Today, a different type of spirit is traversing the world. The spirit of freedom. A spirit that has come to end the model of servitude that reigns in the free world…
“Today, at the height of Western culture, we face a new trial by fire. On the domestic front, the fight against the woke virus and its devastating consequences. And on the external front, the threat of new forms of despotism and terror. These are two different expressions of barbarism, but both are dangerous.
“I believe we must unite to confront this barbarism and form an alliance of creation guardians of the Western legacy by establishing new political ties, but also commercial, cultural, diplomatic, and military ties…”
Is this not a significant part of the core America First (sovereignty first) ideology that brought Donald Trump to the Oval Office in 2016 and now again in 2024?
This is the path the United States can take if we realize, understand, and support Trump’s sovereignty-first (America First) national policy, given the evidence of how it is working successfully in Argentina under Milei’s leadership.
The only thing that can keep the United States—and the American people—from reaping the benefits of a limited federal government through the application of Trump’s America First policy is if we allow the Deep State to hobble and kill the movement in its determination to maintain the bureaucratic status quo.
If we keep the pressure on and support the incoming Trump administration’s agenda to destroy the Deep State and the autocratic bureaucracy of the inside-the-beltway class, we can all be free as our Framers intended.
If we claim victory and do little else, we will have forfeited this incredible opportunity to the self-interested greed merchants of the selfish, elitist class who have ruled us into the desperate situation we exist in today.
I don’t know about you, but to me, the choice is clear.

Don’t get me wrong. I am ecstatic that we have re-elected Donald Trump to his rightful second term as President of the United States. But as a realist—a pragmatic realist—I understand that it will take much more than four years of Trump 2.0 to damage and dismantle the Washingtonian Deep State and reform the federal government.
The current “expert-dominated” federal bureaucracy (commonly referred to as the Deep State when you factor in K Street and the many special interest “complexes”) has been metastisizing for over 120 years. It first arrived on the American political scene with the Wilson administration and has been growing and encroaching on our individual and state rights ever since.
That’s why the recent move by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) in the wake of reports that a FEMA official allegedly directed employees to skip over the homes of Trump supporters while assessing damage from Hurricane Milton is so important. This move could symbolize the first shot in a constitutional confrontation between an overreaching federal government and the states.
The Shot Heard Around The States
As reported by a plethora of honest information outlets, including X and TheGatewayPundit.com, a whistleblower has come forward with text messages that reveal FEMA official Marn’i Washington ordered relief workers working in the area to purposely skip over homes in Florida displaying Trump signs in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton.
According to TheDailyWire.com on X:
“Whistleblowers say that relief workers were told it was ‘best practice’ to pass over houses ‘advertising Trump'...The workers would enter into the system that they made no contact with the residents, blaming the directive: ‘Trump sign, no contact per leadership.”
In another post on X, one FEMA volunteer who was exposed to the directive stated:
“I thought we could go help and make a difference. When we got there, we were told to discriminate against people. It’s almost unbelievable to think that somebody in the federal government would think that’s okay.”
In the aftermath, FEMA Director Deanne Criswell posting on X, called the all-but-admitted act “reprehensible,” and said the employee had been fired and will be referred to the Office of Special Counsel.
A Long Awaited Push-Back
In response to this blatant discrimination by our federal government towards its citizens, DeSantis issued a terse but warranted statement and directive:
“The blatant weaponization of government by partisan activists in the federal bureaucracy is yet another reason why the Biden-Harris administration is in its final days.
“At my direction, the Division of Emergency Management is launching an investigation into the federal government’s targeted discrimination of Floridians who support Donald Trump.
“New leadership is on the way in DC, and I’m optimistic that these partisan bureaucrats will be fired.”
The key words to focus on here are these: “...launching an investigation into the federal government’s…”
This marks a historic moment in time, and one held long in the waiting. For the first time in US history, a state government—in this case, the State of Florida, at the direction of its governor—is launching an investigation into the federal government that could end in criminal, civil, and constitutional consequences.
With DeSantis' order for the Florida Division of Emergency Management to investigate Ms. Washington, the total effort of FEMA’s actions in the state will be investigated. It is all but certain that any discriminatory and/or illegal actions taken by FEMA in the state will end up being referred to the State’s Attorney General for actions, as this precedent has been set in the second Trump assassination attempt.
Given the wide latitude established by recent federal investigations into private citizens and government officials alike, this would mean Florida’s Attorney General, Ashley Moody, would be able to look at not only Washington’s actions and directives but every aspect of FEMA operations in the state, including finances.
So, it must be asked: If criminal, civil, and constitutional malfeasance is discovered, prosecuted, and adjudicated, what would be the consequences? Criminally, we know fines and jail time would be the order. Civilly, we know the Floridians affected would have to be made whole. But what would it mean constitutionally?
Why This Is A Good Shot Across The Bow
If, as reported by this whistleblower, FEMA supervisors openly discriminated against people affected by Hurricane Milton in Florida, what kind of discrimination and agency slow-walking took place in northern Georgia, eastern Tennessee, and especially in western North Carolina in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene?
Each of these locations voted heavily, if not overwhelmingly, for Trump in the 2024 General Election. Are we to believe that in these rural areas, where people lost everything they’ve owned for generations, FEMA was on the up-and-up in their responses and aid? Are we really to believe that the Florida FEMA supervisor’s directive about letting Trump voters suffer in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton was an isolated incident, especially with the waterfall of first-hand reports from western North Carolina providing evidence that the FEMA response after Hurricane Helene was almost cruel in its malfeasance?
As the country awakens to just how corrupt our federal government has become under the far-Left extremism and tyranny of the Obama-Biden-Harris administrations, are we really supposed to believe that this kind of special interest, partisan, elitist governance is secluded to one agency as it applies its authority in one state? To believe that is the case would be so far beyond naive that I’m not sure there’s even a word or phrase to describe it.
It is for this reason that DeSantis' action to investigate FEMA—and through that agency, the federal government–serves as an opening salvo to a confrontation centered on the Ninth Amendment and the Tenth Amendment, which state, respectively:
“The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”
And:
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
DeSantis' move is the first move in a constitutional chess match between the states and the federal government that could pave the way for states to reassert their rightful authority over their constitutional domain and re-establish their rightful place as a potent check and balance to federal government overreach through the Ninth and Tenth Amendments and the use of the potent tool of nullification.
Has Our Republic Caught The Cancer In Time?
The clear-eyed American understands that Deep State elitist tyranny has become endemic in our federal government and lives in the bureaucratic apparatus, which has rendered representative government severely damaged, if not significantly hobbled.
We see it in the actions of far-Left extremists like US Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), opportunistic RINO Republicans like US Senators Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and John Thune (R-SD)—now the incoming Senate Majority Leader, the whole of the bought-and-paid-for Uni-Party, and pathetic groups like The Lincoln Project, whose leader actually said this:
Our federal government has been co-opted by the greedy, the opportunistic, the manipulative, and the egotistical.
We see it in the actions of federal employees and agents working for the elitist tyrants—mostly appointed and placed—at FEMA (in this example), the now politicized Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation, the decades-long partisanship of the Internal Revenue Service, and the dictatorial despotism of agencies like the National Institute for Health, the Food & Drug Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Center for Disease Control.
Our nation’s federal government has become an oblivious whore for the global elite and connected. We suffer from crony corporatism and public-private cooperative soft fascism. Our elected leaders, most often, have to answer to the federal government's bureaucracy when that flow of authority is—constitutionally—supposed to be in reverse.
This is the cancer—the political cancer—that the American people gave a mandate to Donald Trump to extinguish. And while Donald Trump’s second administration works diligently to cripple the Deep State, it will be governors like Ron DeSantis, Kristi Noem, Kim Reynolds, Greg Abbott, and the rest of the governors who stand to truly serve their peoples that work to re-establish the constitutional balance between the federal government and the states.
If we can keep the pressure on (an Alinsky rule that has served the neo-Marxist progressives well) and run interference against the Deep State—and especially the Uni-Party establishment electeds masquerading as Republicans—as Trump, DeSantis and the other governors move to return our Republic to constitutionalism, we have a chance at surviving the neo-Trotskyism of the Left.
But make no mistake. It’s going to take longer than just four years. We must start playing a potent long game.

Before I get into the main topic of today’s America’s Third Watch segment, I have to issue (as if this podcast is a disseminator of the old Civil Defense alerts), I have to alert everyone to a pretty despicable move that the Deep State establishment RINOs in the US Senate are trying to get away with.
This Wednesday—and after a three-day weekend when people won’t be paying attention, Mitch McConnell—the Senate Minority Leader—has called for leadership elections. McConnell, a decrepit RINO who has proved himself a tool (no pun intended) of the inside-the-beltway establishment and blatantly outed himself as a Trump-hater, is attempting to install Deep Staters loyal to him and the establishment Uni-Party before his authority to do so expires at the end of his reign.
Slating this election prior to the newly elected Senators being seated is to disenfranchise them—and the voters they represent—from having a voice in who leads them in the next Congress.
How is it that any US Senator on the Republican conservative side of the aisle is allowing this communist Chinese-friendly Uniparty reprobate to have any voice in what happens in the next Congress? Isn’t it bad enough that the Republicans and conservatives in the Senate have to combat the never-Trumpers amongst them? Isn’t it enough that this moldy gas bag clandestinely ruined the chances of winning for several change candidates—MAGA candidates—for US Senate in the 2024 General Election by withholding desperately needed campaign funding?
Mitch McConnell and his Igor-like minion, John Thune—who masked himself up as a Tea Partier, did a great amount of damage to the first Trump administration’s attempt to rein in the Deep State bureaucratic establishment. At every turn, they aided the Uniparty while quietly working against reforms the American people voted for in their election of Donald Trump.
Now, as Trump 2.0 stands to assume the Oval Office, are we supposed to swallow the same self-serving, degenerate, Deep State, establishment, “good ol' boy” network political bullshit that McConnell has been serving up his entire tenure?
Hell, no to that! Hell no!
This is one of those times that we must contact our US Senators. Tuesday morning, after they return from their out-of-office weekend, we must demand that they move to postpone the leadership elections until the newly elected Republican US Senators are sworn in and seated to the Senate. Use the link (provided here) to email your demand, post your demand on social media, and call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 to be connected to your Senator’s offices. Demand that they postpone the vote until the next Congress and to stop their Deep State games.
We haven’t come this far—defeating the Obama-Biden-Harris regime soundly—only to lose to the Uniparty, to lose to the Deep State establishment, to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
The election isn’t over until the reform and anti-establishment, anti-Deep State apparatus is firmly in place and operating. And to make that happen, we must all act against McConnell’s power grab right now!

As we witness statements of disunity and declared opposition—right from the get-go—from New York’s Governor Kathy Hochul and New York State Attorney General Letitia James toward Trump 2.0, we should all recognize that they are simply embracing the time-honored New York political tradition of self-serving, opportunistic, “preservation cowardice.”
From Francis Lewis to Tammany Hall, Hillary “The Carpetbagger” Clinton to Chuck Schumer and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York politicians have always put themselves and their special interest causes ahead of their constituents and have—routinely—exited office much wealthier than their paychecks would afford for doing so.
Today, the main self-involved “Sorosian” loyalists from New York are Hochul (D), James (D), and Judge Juan Merchan (D), the Colombian-born former prosecutor and current acting justice of the New York State Supreme Court in New York County (Manhattan) who presided over the legal abomination that was President-Elect Donald Trump’s “hush money trial”:
* Hochul announced the formation of the Empire State Freedom Initiative to prepare to fight “policy and regulatory threats” from the incoming Trump administration
* James announced her office was “ready to fight back again,” in announcing that “[t]ogether with Governor Hochul, our partners in state and local government, and my colleague attorneys general from throughout the nation, we will work each and every day to defend Americans, no matter what this new administration throws at us.”
* And Merchan, in a meeker move of political cowardice, is considering tossing out Donald Trump’s felony convictions following Tuesday’s election results.
As an aside, Hochul, James, and Merchan aren’t the only Sorosian malcontents to display their arrogance.
The Biden-Harris Department of Justice is said to be furiously winding down its fraudulent Jack Smith-led federal criminal cases against President-Elect Trump. This would end the spate of politically motivated lawfare against the President-Elect, actions that threatened to transform our federal government into one akin to a third-world dictatorship.
And California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) has called a special session of the California State Legislature to protect his state’s neo-Marxian policies from the Trump administration, with the Los Angeles Times opining, “The new special session provides an early look at the governor’s plan to wage an aggressive and highly visible campaign to shield California from the Trump White House.”
A Long Tradition Of Obstruction
Incidentally, did you know that in the quintessential move that started it all for the United States—the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the New York delegates to the Continental Congress were so cowardly in their fear of King George that they could only muster enough courage to “abstain” from voting against a move toward independence for the colonies?
When the Declaration was voted into existence on July 2, 1776, New York's delegates—Francis Lewis, William Floyd, Philip Livingston, and Lewis Morris— abstained from voting for independence. In a politically disingenuous and strategic move, the New York delegates were instructed to wait for further guidance from their Provincial Congress as they put their fingers into the wind to divine which would be the more advantageous course to take…for themselves and their elitist brethren.
The colony of New York was politically divided. There was a significant loyalist presence in the colony who remained loyal to the King and gleaned significant wealth from remaining British subjects. So, to preserve their status and success, many were unwilling to break away from British rule. This division, especially with the wealthy elites on the loyalist side, meant that the Provincial Congress was purposely slow to give the go-ahead for independence.
As a result, the colony of New York took a knee rather than standing with the other twelve colonies whose delegates had the courage to confront the most powerful military on the planet at the time.
Yesterday Predicates Today
Today, the self-serving arrogance of New York’s political elites outshines the opportunism of those who previously held their stations. In their declarations, Hochul, James, and Murchan have announced to the country—in the face of an overwhelming national mandate—that they intend to lead a charge against the people’s full-throated choice and the choice of a growing and significant number of voters in the State of New York.
This is a perfect example of the elitism that has gripped not only New York City and “The Empire State” (and especially among those of the woke Leftist class) but also the nation’s many Blue urban areas.
Of the 141.025 million votes cast in the 2024 General Election for President of the United States (roughly 41.8 percent of the American people), New York cast 7.778 million votes. This is for a population of 19.571 million people, or approximately 39.75 percent of those living in New York.
Of those casting a ballot in New York, just 4,341,453 cast a ballot for Kamala Harris, the loser.
So, let’s do some basic math here. Calculating these numbers, Hochul, James, and Mechan advocate for just 1.29 percent of the American people and 22.19 percent of the people in the State of New York, the scant few people who voted for their unique brand of totalitarianism. That’s an extreme minority of the American people and not even a quarter of the people in the state they are supposedly representing.
Yet the Sorosians—Hochul, James, and Merchan—somehow feel they are entitled to create and continue down avenues of political persecution to negate an electoral mandate the American people have delivered to President-Elect Trump. They feel entitled—because of their addiction to power, their loyalty to the far-Left neo-Trotskyism of the Progressive movement, and their lust for political self-preservation—to place the ideological machinations of just 1.29 percent of the American people above that mandate, ignoring the 3,436,961 people of their own state and the 72,837,965 of people nationally who took a stand against exactly the unilateral totalitarianism they bully onto the main stage.
The very important questions that must be asked here are: Who do they actually serve? Who are their masters? When we answer those questions, we—those who voted for a return to constitutionalism and the obliteration of the Deep State bureaucracy—will know where to apply the disinfectant.
This Also Makes Another Case
The far-Left totalitarian indignance of Hochul, James, and Merchan—as well as Newsom in California—also make an incredibly strong case for—and exemplifies why we must keep and defend—the Electoral College.
Simply put, if we don’t maintain the sanctity of the Electoral College, we will be ruled by the Hochuls, the James', the Merchan’s, and the Newsoms; we will be ruled by the whims of those who sit in the elitist seats of power in our nation’s decidedly partisan urban areas.
To acquiesce to the idea of rule by popular vote is to take a knee to the mob and cede power to the Klaus Schwabs, Bill Gates’ and George Soros'; the global elites. The rights of those who live in all but the urban center counties—those who farm our food and make the products we use—will be ignored and essentially become non-existent.
James Madison, noted as the father of the US Constitution (although some would argue he expounded on the work of George Mason), put it quite succinctly when, in Federalist 49, he emphasized the historical perspective against pure democracy, foreseeing today’s need to defend the Electoral College, saying:
“The experience of all former ages had shown that of all human governments, democracy was the most unstable, fluctuating, and short-lived.”
Looking at this map of the 2024 Presidential General Election results by county, we can see how chilling it would be if only the blue areas had a say in how the entire nation was governed.
This is why the actions of Kathy Hochul, Letitia James, and Judge Juan Merchan—along with the long list of lawfare political persecutions facilitated by the Biden-Harris DoJ and Gavin Newsom’s move in California—were and are so threatening to our Republic.
We are going through a great awakening here in the United States with regard to how selfishly corrupt and unlawful the far-Left has come to be. This awakening must continue to take place, and, evidently, especially in New York State.

Now that the election is over—for what that’s worth—(but for the arguing about it all and perhaps some very far-Left disruptions), I believe it’s fair to say that the American people (and I usually hate when a pundit “speaks for” the American people, but I feel I’m safe here) I believe it’s fair to say that we are thoroughly exhausted with all of the unmitigated bullshit the potentate class has been cramming down our throats for the last eight years…non-stop.
I warn you in advance: If you are offended by profanity, well, this podcast segment will not be for you because after all of what this election cycle has put us through, I need to vent, and it’s going to make Dan Bongino’s podcast sound mild. And quite frankly, what I have to say—and how it is being said—is long, long overdue.
This “open letter” is to all of the self-important, elitist, annoying, never-shut-up, activist, ideological, and political potentates—elected and not. It’s time for you all to shut the fuck up and let the American people recover from the onslaught of spin, narrative pushing, disingenuous intellectual manipulation, and outright deceit. Shut up, do your jobs, go about your pathetic, shallow lives, and leave us alone!!
To the media: Your model of opinion journalism and the special interest, partisan editorialization of the news, has failed miserably. That’s why people despise you more than Congress and trust you less than the slimiest shyster lawyers. We’re tired of you elitist, self-important bullshit. We’re exhausted at getting lectured by you and then told when we point out your hypocrisy, that you know better than we how we feel.
How about this? Take your opinion journalism and stuff it so far up your asses that you begin to taste the shit you’ve been dishing out to us for decades? Stick to reporting the facts, but if you simply must masturbate your egos, at least have the courtesy of saving it for an opinion show.
We are tired of the Rachel Maddows, the Lawrence O’Donnells, the Morning Joe’s, and we are nauseated by the entirety of MSNBC and The View. The alphabet news networks have consistently demonstrated that they think the general public is stupid and intellectually malleable in their coverage of anything and everything political and ideological. But they have misread the public. Their credibility is shot. To this reprobate class, you best take a break from your elitist preaching lest you be replaced—once and for all—by alternative media.
Shut…the fuck…up, report the damn facts, and leave it at that.
To the political and elected classes: Do the fucking jobs you were elected and appointed to do and give the partisan, “me, me, me” bullshit a rest. We’re tired of it. We’re tired of government—at every level— needing to make every fucking thing you do an act that benefits your political parties instead of those you were elected to serve. This goes for everyone on both sides of the aisle. Enough!
We’re exhausted from the power trips. We’re tired of the narrative manipulation. We have come to hate the press secretary and spin doctor classes. And we are through with the behind-the-scenes, Deep State jagoffs that defend the grift; from the slimiest offices of K Street to the dimmest offices on Capitol Hill. That goes for the Mark Elias', the David Axelrod’s, the Mark Plouffe’s, the inside-the-beltway PACs and orgs, law firms, and lobbyists, and the entirety of the bottom-feeder Washingtonian white wine set.
And don’t even think about making election campaigning a full-time, 24/7/365 thing like you’ve been doing the last couple of decades. Stop begging for contributions from the people. You get rich off the K Street corporate assholes you carve up the government to serve, so get it from them. Fuck off!
Oh, and lower our fucking taxes or, better yet, scrap the income tax system altogether and restructure everything to glean revenue from our strength—consumerism. Use the thirteen brain cells you all share and start making it easier for the people to attain the American dream, and take your special interest projects and jam them up your asses! Leave us…the fuck…alone and just do the bare minimum so you don’t screw things up any more than you already have. It’s almost unfixable now, thanks to you reprobate assholes!
And to the incessantly whiny activist and community-organizing Karen class: Just shut the fuck up!! Shut up! We are done with you believing you can bully us into doing what you want. We don’t care how “passionate” you are about your “cause” or how entitled you feel about getting your way. Leave us…the fuck…alone. Live your life the way you want to, and stop thinking that we have to care about how you feel. We don’t! And we won’t!
We have put up with enough of your self-important, selfish, narcissistic, self-aggrandizing bullshit to last seven lifetimes over. Fuck you and fuck your feelings. We don’t care if you’re offended, too bad! Grow a thicker skin or crawl away to some bullshit “safe space” and cry yourselves to sleep. You’re a loud minority that has overstayed your time in the spotlight. We…don’t…care. Shut up and leave us, our kids, our schools, our libraries, our civic centers; leave…us…the fuck…alone, you imbecilic, egotistical megalomaniacs. Just shut up and mind your own fucking business.
And this especially goes for the celebrity class…the most useless gaggle of pretenders and hypocrites our country has to offer. Take your egos and neediness, your emotional fragility, and your spoiled rotten attitudes and vanish! If you said you were going to leave the United States if Trump won, well, fucking leave! Get out! Don’t let the locked door hit you in the ass on your way out. Nobody cares about your far-Left, neo-Marxist, pandering, self-serving opinions. Robert DeNiro, go fuck yourself. And that goes for Rob Reiner, Barbara Streisand, Kathy Griffin, Mark Hamill, and the rest of the caustic, useless, elitist, anal sphincters that call themselves entertainers.
We are tired of being called White supremacists and Nazis, tired of being called racists, sexists, and garbage, exhausted at the idea that we must conform to your homogenized, milquetoast, overly delicate sensibilities to keep you from being offended, and we are fucking done with having to conform to your neo-Marxist, globalist world view, and that goes for all of you—from the whiniest Karen to Klaus Schwab, Oprah ‘Maui Compound' Winfrey to Mark Fuckerberg, Bill ‘The Vaccine Jagoff' Gates to Mark ‘The Tiny-Dick Misogynist' Cuban, Joy Behar to Joy Reid. Fuck off —fuck…off—and leave us alone.
We—all of us—want to be left alone, at least for four fucking years. Leave us be. Let us enjoy our lives without having to be inundated with your bullshit, if only for a short while.
We know you’re too weak to stop, intellectually incapable of not falling back into the habits of your self-importance and narcissism, but we just need a fucking break, just so we can catch our breaths.
Make no mistake; the constant eye of scrutiny and oversight will be watching you. You won’t get away with anything. The days of sneaking around behind our backs with your cronies to fleece us and steal our rights and wherewithal are over! You will be surveilled by a people seething with irritation at your self-absorbed neediness, just waiting to pounce, to intellectually and socially disembowel you. And can you blame us? You have been abusing us—abusing your status—for decades. Did you really think we wouldn’t hit a wall?
In closing, dear self-important, elitist, annoying, never-shut-up, activist, ideological and political potentates, fuck your fake appeal for tolerance. Stuff your disingenuous plea for dialoguing up your asses to the point you choke on it. And leave us the fuck alone!!
Now, let’s all be united…Doesn’t that sound just too stupid? Now you know how you all sounded for the last four fucking years.
Shut up and go away!

As we stand on the brink of one of the most crucial presidential and General Elections of our lifetimes, the time to act is now. With November 5th being tomorrow, if you haven’t cast your vote yet, it should be your top priority today or tomorrow. You've had ample time to make your decision, and now it’s time to fulfill your constitutional duty to our country, your fellow citizens, and future generations.
I say “future generations” because this election is not just about the media-contrived personality contest foisted upon the American people by the political and ideological opportunists who hold an ironclad grip on narrative marketing. It’s about the direction of our Republic and whether or not we are setting it up for self-termination.
The damage these opportunists and neo-Marxist provocateurs have done to our society–and, in fact, the people of the free world–is grotesque and unforgivable. A great example of that damage comes to us in a recent Gallup poll highlighted by Statista.com in which they proclaim that “fifty-five percent of Americans polled…in October 2024 said they're either very or somewhat concerned that ex-President Donald Trump is aligned too closely with radicals…”
We have the most openly neo-Marxist presidential and vice presidential candidates in American history in Kamala Harris–whose father taught Marxian economics at Stanford–and Tim Walz–who openly praises communist China–and the people of the United States are polling 55 percent that it is Donald Trump who has connections to radical extremists?
Where is the evidence that could possibly lead someone to that conclusion? That he actually executes diplomacy by talking to our enemies rather than plotting proxy wars against them? Isn’t it better to have a relationship with other world leaders so as to prevent armed conflict? Isn’t “dialoguing” with those holding opposing viewpoints exactly what the hell Democrats and liberals have been saying we should do for the past 60 years?
The only possible explanation for these polling results–this absurdity–is that the narrative merchants have succeeded in advancing their opportunistic storyline of political fiction to a point where the intellectually vulnerable have been captured at fifty-five percent. This is a failure of the education system to cultivate critical thinking skills in our society and a failure of our society to protect truth from ideological bastardization.
Gallup has, many years ago, abdicated its responsibility to truth in deference to profit, influence, and political alignment. So, I am less concerned with being shocked they would push such a complete bullshit poll than I am worried about those they targeted for the manipulated answers.
But like the Associated Press–which is now useless for the purposes of truth, because Gallup has been institutionalized into our culture, people have abandoned their obligation to verify truth before forming an opinion. Couple this with the amplification of unsubstantiated opinion via social media, and we arrive at the recipe for fifty-five percent of the electorate believing that the candidate who isn’t a bonafide neo-Marxist is somehow the one with the radically extreme connections.
When the narrative manipulators of the ideological and political classes control the messaging machine, even good and thinking people fall prey to being led around by the nose. This is how true fascism, socialism, and communism continue to breathe life when these political ideologies have been proven to fail everywhere and every time they are inflicted upon people.
This is what Election Day 2024 is all about, Charlie Brown. It’s not the over-glorified junior high school popularity contest the media, the Harris campaign, the Democrats, and the disingenuous fascistic global elites want you to see it as.
It’s time to execute. It’s time to vote and to make sure all of your freedom-loving friends vote as well. Pick them up and drive them to the polls if you have to. This is not about a singular act of casting a ballot. It’s about advocating for the existence of the only country on the face of the Earth, the only country to exist in human history, to have been brave enough to create a government based on self-governance.
We have gotten away from that to a damaging extent. This election can change that.
The choice is not only clear, but it is also inarguable.

As we head into one of the most contentious elections since the debacle of the recount in 2000, Virginia is entangled in a heated legal battle over its efforts to cleanse approximately 1,600 non-citizens from its voter rolls, an action that highlights the federal government's overreach into state sovereignty.
The state has rightly escalated the matter to the US Supreme Court after a federal judge—appointed by the Biden-Harris administration—blocked these removals. This judicial intervention was spurred by lawsuits from the Biden-Harris Department of Justice, alongside advocacy groups like the League of Women Voters (which has become decidedly partisan to the radical Left in recent years) and the Virginia Coalition for Immigrant Rights. All are arguing that federal regulations prevent Virginia’s changes to voter rolls within 90 days of an election, as dictated by the National Voter Registration Act of 1993.
Governor Glenn Youngkin’s administration, attempting to uphold the integrity of Virginia's electoral process in the face of the Biden-Harris administration’s massive importation of illegal immigrants, issued an executive order for daily voter registration data updates from the Department of Motor Vehicles to identify those who did not affirm US citizenship during license applications.
Virginia's Attorney General, Jason Miyares, has criticized this federal interference, asserting that failure to remove these individuals not only undermines state autonomy but also sows confusion among voters, strains election resources, and suggests to non-citizens that illegal voting is permissible, thus diluting the votes of and disenfranchising legitimate voters.
This scenario underscores a significant conflict between Virginia’s state rights under the 9th and 10th Amendments and what many see as overbearing and unconstitutional federal election interference. It raises questions of whether current federal laws are unconstitutionally overly restrictive and detrimental to maintaining electoral integrity at the state level.
I cite the 9th and 10th Amendments as they mandate the following, respectively:
“The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”
And:
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
So, according to the text of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, it is the purview of the state to, among other provisions, establish federal election voter registration procedures and to protect the integrity of the electoral process by assuring an accurate and current voter registration roll for elections for Federal office.
Aside from the fact that Youngkin’s executive order upholds the direction of the legislation, one overarching point—and it’s a big one—comes into play.
The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 unconstitutionally usurps the authority of the State of Virginia—and all other states—to conduct its state elections by effectively nullifying the 9th and 10th Amendments.
Underground USA is reader-supported…Please consider becoming a paid subscriber
The Constitution does not explicitly grant the federal government broad, direct authority over state or local elections, therefore the prescription mandated under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 violates both Amendments.
Over time—and specifically, since the Wilson administration and the puss-like eruption of neo-Marxist progressivism in the United States, abusing opportunistic interpretations of the Commerce Clause, the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, and other regulatory provisions, Congress has enacted laws that unconstitutionally influence or regulate aspects of state election processes, under the disingenuous guise of ensuring the right to vote free from racial discrimination.
The far-Left has been playing this deceitful game ever since they realized they could bastardize and abuse the Civil Rights movement to their opportunistic benefit.
This is a perfect opportunity for Virginia’s state government to band together to invoke nullification to assure their state’s free and fair elections.
Since the federal government, through its arrogance and greed for centralized power, is blatantly seeking to co-opt—completely—the authority over Virginia’s elections, the State of Virginia’s use of nullification in refusing to recognize the authority of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 over their voter rolls is an appropriate use of that action.
Make no mistake, the far-Left and Obama 2.0 are not going to go quietly into the night should Harris-Walz be defeated on November 5th. They will use lawfare at every turn to attempt to steal the will of the people for their own transformative purposes; for their lust for power, their greed for control.
As was said in Madson Square Garden, it is time to “Dream big again,” and in order to do that, we need leaders brave enough to think outside the box to cut off the balls of an aggressive, constitution-usurping neo-Marxist Left through all legal means possible.
As I wrote in my book, Nullification: The Case for Decentralizing the Federal Government, the utilization of nullification by the states against an aggressive totalitarian wannabe federal government is an indispensable tool in protecting the Constitution and Bill of Rights without resorting to a bloody second US Civil War.
If your state is experiencing pushback from the federal government for wanting to maintain its voter rolls accurately, this is one of those times to engage with your state governments. Grab a copy of this short book and send it to a receptive member of your state legislature or governor, urging them to protect your state's sovereignty through the use of nullification today.
