Our Founding Fathers had the foresight to know this day would come.
“Whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and institute a new government.”
Jefferson’s words ring true today.
Our government has become destructive to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. Therefore, it is not only our Right, but our RESPONSIBILITY to uproot the corrupt establishment, and rebuild a new system in its place.
This nation is in desperate need of a fresh start. Our ruling class needs a deep and thorough cleansing. All of our institutions are infected. Evil runs rampant. Unprecedented change may be necessary.
We the People have selected Donald Trump to be our champion, to carry out this task through peaceful means, and when he wins, he and his administration must do what is necessary to restore our unalienable Rights, and build a foundation for the future, with new principles, focused on the Safety and Happiness of the AMERICAN People.
The Swamp must be drained if humanity is to prosper. Donald Trump must win, and he must burn down this diseased and corrupt temple, otherwise the cycle will continue, and humanity will continue to perish.

Moderna's COVID jab was "30% more deadly than Pfizer and both vaccines are unsafe" per information uncovered by Steve Kirsch and others. https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/why-was-moderna-allowed-to-use-a
• One of the major problems facing mRNA technology was finding a dose that was strong enough to elicit the desired effect but simultaneously not unbearably toxic. Moderna in turn chose a dose that was 3.3X greater than what even Pfizer felt was safe enough to use.
• Since the vaccines hit the market, numerous datasets have shown the Moderna vaccine is roughly 50% more likely to injure recipients (which includes deaths, miscarriages, and birth defects). Despite this, no regulator has done a basic comparison on the safety of the vaccines.
• Steve Kirsch recently got access to a country-wide dataset on deaths following vaccination. It showed clearly and unambiguously that the Moderna vaccine caused 30% more deaths than Pfizer’s. Additionally, it also showed that Pfizer’s vaccine raised the risk of death by 34% and that both vaccines had minimal efficacy in preventing COVID-19 deaths.

Tuesday’s veep debate was a huge eye-opener — not simply about the two candidates, but about the modern media.
The candidates first: Tim Walz now stands exposed as a fantasist — one whose lies aren’t (only) about little things: He not only made up his claims to have served in combat, but about being in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square massacre.
Maybe in Minnesota you can get away with get away with bragging of being a coach — rather than assistant coach who’s unpaid because of your drunk-driving conviction.
But on the national stage, compulsive deception carries major consequences — and could readily endanger the nation.
And, no, Tim: There is no “hate speech” exemption to the First Amendment.
Frankly, that he doesn’t seem to know that proves, all by itself, that Walz isn’t ready for prime time — and exposes Kamala Harris’ terrible judgment in picking him as her running-mate over the far-more-effective Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-Pa.).
. . . Time and again, the moderators pushed misinformation in their questions; time and again, Vance gently established the actual facts — and/or deftly pivoted to address issues the voters care about, rather than the agenda of the (smug but shockingly ignorant) media elite.

The list of Sean 'Diddy' Combs' accomplices includes prominent executives and bankers, according to a lawyer representing alleged victims of the music mogul.
Multiple lawsuits by 120 accusers will mention 'household names' as well as companies and individuals who were aware of and profited from Diddy's alleged crimes, attorney Tony Buzbee said on Tuesday.
The legal filings seek to go after the banks, pharmaceutical companies and hotels that allegedly aided the mogul.
'We will expose the enablers who enabled this conduct behind closed doors. We will pursue this matter no matter who the evidence implicates,' Buzbee said in a press conference in Houston.
Buzbee added: 'The day will come when we will name names other than Sean Combs, and there’s a lot of names. It’s a long list already,... The names will shock you'.
The list of Sean ' Diddy ' Combs' accomplices includes prominent executives and bankers, according to a lawyer representing alleged victims of the music mogul
Buzbee's co-counsel said the lawsuits will go after 'any venue or venue owner who was aware of what was going on.'
The lawyers stated they plan to file lawsuits in several states over the next 30 days and pledged to reveal the names at a later date.
Buzbee confirmed that half the plaintiffs are male and that most of the alleged assaults took place in New York, California, Georgia and Florida.
The complaints date back to 1991 with the youngest alleged victim just nine years old, although 25 accusers say they were minors at the time.
. . . The alleged new victims had previously told law enforcement that they had been abused, including some who cooperated with the FBI.
Many have medical records that prove they had been raped or drugged, Buzbee added.
'Drugs were found in their system-- weird drugs, drugs that you probably never heard of,' the lawyer explained.
. . . 'One in particular that continues to pop up is a drug called Xylazine, or tranq, which based on our research is known as a horse tranquilizer.'

JD Vance just MASSACRED Tim Walz!
Walz looked like a deer in the headlights, while Vance was cool, calm, and collected. Vance is operating on a mental plane far above Walz.
Then when you add Walz’s gaffes about befriending “school shooters”, learning to govern in China, the horrible optics from some of the weird faces he was making, the contradictions, the lies, and the head-scratching answers; it’s hard to describe this as anything but a colossal catastrophe for the Harris campaign.
Vance came off as understanding and genuine. He was sharp, direct, concise, and stayed even keel, displaying his great leadership qualities, and addressing the core problems Americans are actually concerned about. It was a night and day difference standing next to Walz.
Hopefully, this performance will translate to more support for Trump, particularly in the Rust Belt battleground states that Vance was tasked with appealing to.
What a performance from JD Vance.
This one's a longish column with much discussion of the entertainment industry. Author Erik Carlson's main point is that the Diddy arrest is, indeed -- although he doesn't reference duplicate Q drops 3716 and 3717 -- the event that "will trigger mass pop awakening" and "will verify action and confirm future direction."
https://badlands.substack.com/p/the-great-purge-of-the-cabal-has
. . . Honestly, you would connect to the average person a hundred times more by knowing details about the P Diddy case than if you memorized the Constitution.
Currently, celebrities who are a part of the Cabal and have taken part in the Satanic rituals of the Cabal are panicking. Many are trying to create distance between them and P Diddy. Upon the arrest of Diddy, comedian Kevin Hart immediately closed down his four vegan restaurants that he partnered with P Diddy. Celebrities are scrubbing their social media accounts, and music executives are resigning. There is even a rumor that Ben Affleck left J-Lo because of her involvement in it all.
On March 25th, 2024, P Diddy’s home was first raided by the FBI. On August 20th, 2024, five months later, Ben Affleck and J-Lo filed for divorce. According to rapper 50 Cent, Affleck left J-Lo when he found out about her involvement in Diddy’s parties, things even a celebrity in the Hollywood cesspool can’t come back from. Imagine that: J-Lo, another example of a mediocre talent celebrity that achieved a long career of fame and fortune. Honestly, has she ever made a good movie or song? She also recently endorsed Kamala Harris.
There are also rumors coming out that Kim Kardashian was used in blackmail honeypot operations. Talk about a rich and famous person who has no talent, she literally has no talent, as in, she doesn’t sing or dance or act or anything. She doesn’t even claim to have talent. Yet her whole family is now beyond famous and wealthy, having never done anything. A purposely leaked sex-tape has led to creating a whole family’s fortune.
It appears singer Justin Bieber was the victim of much abuse in Hollywood while still a boy. He has turned to Christianity to mend the damage that has been done to him. Bieber’s father-in-law, actor Stephen Baldwin has been making cryptic videos stating we are in the calm before the storm. Most understand this is a Q reference.
Celebrities are not the only ones who attended P Diddy’s “freak off” and “all white” parties. CEOs and politicians were also attendees. The Diddy situation will take down many outside of the entertainment industry as well. Some may be thinking, nothing came of the Epstein arrest, as no one on the Epstein list has been arrested. To this argument I say, doesn’t it make more sense to take everyone down in one fell swoop, at a time when Trump is in complete control?

It’s not clear what the batteries were for — but LA’s Vincent Thomas Bridge, leading to the Port of Los Angeles and the next-door Port of Long Beach, has been shut down for at least 15 hours now while local firefighters let the truck burn. State Route 47 was also closed in both directions as of a couple of hours ago.

Here again, and no surprise to those on this board, doctors typically treat patients very differently from how they themselves choose to be treated, and are NOT fully transparent about the effects of expensive, harsh, and harmful treatments they prescribe to patients. The article doesn't mention this, but given that so many doctors avoid such treatments themselves, they aren't being fully transparent with patients about the efficacy and likely outcome of such treatments either.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-13891031/death-expert-doctors-preferred-die.html
'[That's why] what doctors want to do at the end of their lives is revealing.'
Chris claimed that 'most doctors value the quality of their life' more than its 'length,' and don't want to endure some of the negative side effects that come with life-saving treatments.
For example, chemotherapy for older patients can be incredibly taxing and arduous,' he wrote.
'It can cause nausea, vomiting, depression, mouth sores, sore muscles, and brain fog. It can also weaken the heart and damage the kidneys. Chemo can make one’s last days unbearably painful.
'[Doctors] eschew the harsh treatments (such as surgeries, radiation, and chemotherapy) they regularly hand out to their older patients.
'Typically, they will stop treatment, refuse CPR, take painkillers as appropriate, and be surrounded by loved ones at home.
'They have fewer aggressive interventions, suffer less, and take advantage of palliative care, including hospice.
'What's unusual about doctors is not how much treatment they get compared with most Americans - but how little.'
Chris pointed to a 2014 survey conducted by Stanford University that found 'nearly nine in 10 doctors said they would choose a do-not-resuscitate (DNS) status when dying.'
'Yet often, doctors do not offer that option to their patients,' he added.
Dr. Sunita Puri, the program director at the Hospice and Palliative Medicine Fellowship at the UMass Chan School of Medicine, echoed his sentiments.
'Most physicians I knew noticed the irony inherent in our offering patients intubations, CPR, tracheostomies, dialysis, and so on, when many of us wouldn't choose such interventions for ourselves in their circumstances,' she told him.

RFK Jr. explained how he was appalled to find out that Redfield, who he was extremely critical of, was endorsing Trump.
"Robert Redfield, who I really go after in my Fauci book, wrote an editorial in Newsweek magazine today saying that he was endorsing President Trump because President Trump was gonna restore American health."
Redfield said: "He has chosen exactly the only person who can do this, Robert F. Kennedy Jr."
"This was breathtaking to me because this is the guy who's the head of the CDC that I've been criticizing for years, and then this afternoon he came over and had lunch with me."
"And the first thing he said to me is: 'You got everything right.'"

Just ONE of the reasons Digital ID is such a bad idea --
https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/24/24252235/police-unlock-phone-password-face-id-apple-wallet-id
No matter what, teaching people they can add their IDs to their phones means some people will inevitably leave the house without physical ID, and that means creating the opportunity for cops to demand phones — which you should never, ever do. Technical details of your digital ID aside, handing your phone to a police officer grants law enforcement a lot of power over some of your most intimate personal data.
In Riley v. California, the Supreme Court unanimously held that police need a warrant to search through cell phones, even during otherwise lawful arrests. But if you hand over your unlocked phone to a police officer and offer to show them something, “it becomes this complicated factual question about what consent you’ve granted for a search and what the limits of that are,” Brett Max Kaufman, a senior staff attorney in the ACLU’s Center for Democracy, told The Verge. “There have been cases where people give consent to do one thing, the cops then take the whole phone, copy the whole phone, find other evidence on the phone, and the legal question that comes up in court is: did that violate the scope of consent?”
Here's an industry LEGALLY IMMUNE FROM BEING SUED over the health or safety of their products and "regulated" by an agency (the FCC) that is actually composed of its own former executives and other employees. Where have we seen THAT before?
Disclosure: I LOVE technology, have a smartphone, use wireless WiFi, and yet am concerned enough about this to at least not use anything with 5G capability. I suspect that the harm from EMF is substantially lower than that from the jabs (that seems clear, actually), but believe that 5G in particular can be weaponized to cause far more harm than even shown in the studies that have found damage from EMF.
And even "lower levels of harm" ARE HARMFUL. It doesn't matter how low the likelihood of harm IS when YOU or SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT gets hurt. Death by lightning strike is very rare, but for those killed or badly injured, it happens 100%.
https://thelibertydaily.com/former-big-tech-exec-warns-serious-dangers-linked/
With Apple releasing its latest generation of iPhones this week, it’s important to keep in mind that the wireless technology in cell phones, tablets and other devices is not nearly as safe as we’d like to think. The convenience of being connected to endless information and communication tools is something few of us can resist, yet the price we pay could be devastating.
Former Microsoft Canada President Frank Clegg, who currently serves on the Environmental Health Trust business advisory group and as the chief executive of Canadians for Safe Technology, has been warning for years about the dangers of 5G wireless technology, and he has been pressing telecommunications companies to prove that it is safe.
In an educational video, Clegg shared research and data showing the potential impacts of wireless technologies on human health. “I’ve seen the tremendous benefit that technology can provide; I’ve also seen the potential harm if technology is not implemented correctly … I am especially concerned about our current implementation of 5G wireless technology, and the more research I do and the more experts I talk to, the more concerned I become,” he said.
Clegg, who has more than four decades of experience in the tech sector, highlighted one fact that tells you everything you need to know about 5G: “I am not aware of a single study that shows that 5G technology is safe,” he cautioned.
He also pointed out that more than 230 researchers and scientists from dozens of countries sent a formal letter to the UN and the World Health Organization outlining their reservations about the rollout of 5G wireless technology.
The main concern is the fact that it gives off RF radiation, which the human body absorbs and accumulates. It has already been linked to a slew of problems via hundreds of studies demonstrating biological harm. A 2018 study by the National Institute of Health’s National Toxicology Program uncovered evidence of cancer and damage to DNA from the use of wireless devices.
The technology has been linked to diabetes, infertility, headaches, insomnia, heart arrythmias and palpitations, and fatigue. It has also been associated with a number of mental health problems, ranging from autism and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder to mood swings, depression and anxiety.
You might think that with so much evidence stacked up against it, regulators would protect the public from exposure to this dangerous technology. However, Clegg noted that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which is in charge of this important task, is actually composed of former telecommunications executives and engineers, representing a conflict of interest, while there are no doctors or scientists there.
Another problem is the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996, which bars telecommunication firms from being sued over the health or safety of their products. He believes these companies have long been aware of the dangers, and that is why they have hundreds of lobbyists working on their behalf to protect the industry.
Moreover, the FCC’s guidelines are now more than 25 years old and have not been updated to account for the considerable advancements in technology that have been made recently.
“And in fact, the telecommunications industry is self-policing, so what we are left with is almost a Wild West scenario,” he added.

https://financialpreparedness.substack.com/p/the-united-nations-global-compact
. . . Due to the ascent of passive investment strategies (including index funds and exchange-traded funds) and 401(k) plans (which often offer only index funds as investment options), the Big Three investment managers (Blackrock, Vanguard and State Street) now easily have enough proxies to control the board of directors (and thus the management and policies) of virtually every publicly traded company. And it just so happens that the Big Three themselves are dominated by some of the world's most extreme ESG ideologues (for example, Blackrock CEO Larry Fink is on the board of both the World Economic Forum and the Council on Foreign Relations).
Although these institutions have a legal fiduciary duty to manage the many trillions of dollars of wealth with which they have been entrusted for the benefit of its owners, they have thus far been able to get away with brazenly ignoring this duty, especially since the current regime fully supports this misappropriation of shareholder capital (as any good Marxist would).
. . . These goals are really just a Trojan Horse for a massive power grab. Make no mistake: the UN (and its supporters) would very much like to become a one-world government, which would result in unprecedented tyranny on a global scale.
Additionally, the UN has long been notorious as one of the most corrupt organizations in the world. Roughly two thirds of member countries have a corrupt government themselves. So when you put representatives from those countries together in an organization that spends Other People's Money and lacks transparency and accountability, you shouldn't be surprised by the result.
And it's not just financial corruption, either. For many years, I've read a number of articles about how UN peacekeepers sexually abuse the refugees (including children) at the camps that they are supposedly protecting. If you support the UN, you're either willfully ignorant or malevolent.
So what is the UN Global Compact? According to its website, it's “The world's largest corporate sustainability initiative. A call to companies to align strategies and operations with universal principles on human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption [oh, the irony] and take actions that advance societal goals.” Its ambition is to “accelerate and scale the global collective impact of business by upholding the Ten Principles and delivering the SDGs through accountable [to the UN, not to shareholders] companies and ecosystems that enable change.”
Do you see how striving to help the UN reach these goals might conflict with companies' legal, fiduciary duty to maximize shareholder value? How do you think this change in the purpose of a corporation might affect the free cash flow and value of the assets that shareholders are left with, and the amount of dividends they receive? How soon do you think these changes will become apparent and too obvious to rationalize or ignore?
One major problem with statists' economic and tax policies is that they simply assume that market participants will just sit there and take the financial abuse and won't change their behavior. This is why, for example, the additional revenue from a higher tax rate never materializes. For some reason, people don't want to work hard or take risks just so they can send a lot of money to the federal government (or in this case, the UN). Savvy investors such as hedge fund manager John Paulson are starting to figure this out and are threatening to go Galt. If you put the weight of the world (or the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals) on Atlas' shoulders, he will shrug.
Instead of companies joining the UN Global Compact, they should join an Investor Global Compact, where they promise to manage the company for the benefit of its owners. Perhaps after the next financial crisis (which I have said since 2009 will be the worst in human history) when stock prices are in the gutter and companies are starved for capital and desperate for survival, such a compact will emerge as a way for companies to distinguish themselves by promising investors not to destroy their capital like the previous management team did. Until then, caveat investor.
Pretty much the only issue discussed in the article is the need to return to more lenient abortion laws. As for all the other nightmarish changes that the Dems are hoping to inflict on America -- wrecking what's left of the Bill of Rights, taxing us all even deeper into the poorhouse, and so on -- apparently none of that is a concern.
Oprah Winfrey recreated her popular talk show host for one night only to assist Vice President Kamala Harris in winning the White House.
Winfrey kicked off the two-hour livestream by introducing a who's who of Hollywood A-listers including Bryan Cranston, Chris Rock, Ben Stiller, Jennifer Lopez, Tracy Ellis Ross, Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep.
'I am smiling from ear to ear Oprah,' Breaking Bad's Cranston said. 'I have never felt this much joy and optimism in a campaign in a long time.'
But with Winfrey at the helm of the production, there were some tear-jerking moments too - including introducing the mother of the first woman who died a preventable death since the overturn of Roe v. Wade and an interview with a family involved in a school shooting.

Kamala Harris is heavily flirting with guys she wants to poach from MAGA World, or at least stop them from swinging that way.
Her wingmen are helping by launching an ad blitz targeting white men that will cost around $10 million, a play for a key demographic that tends to favor Donald Trump.
“White dudes, so, I think we’re all pretty sick of hearing how much we suck,” declares a new 68-second ad from the self-described White Dudes for Harris, which will air on YouTube, streaming, and social media in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
The ad's narrator complains that Trump guys are giving all guys a bad rap.
Etcetera . . .
And remember: These are LOWER BOUND estimates, meaning the actual numbers are likely even higher.
https://kirschsubstack.com/p/its-ridiculously-easy-to-calculate
. . . For the purposes of a lower bound estimate, we have to assume that Harry is a statistical outlier, i.e., that he is the ONLY paramedic in the US who has seen numbers this high.
The Poisson distribution results for “seen 20 or more events, when we expected 6 events” is 5e-6.
So this means that on average, we’d estimate that the average paramedic sees 6 vaccine deaths.
So a minimum of 6 vax deaths * 172,000 paramedics works out to be slightly over 1M Americans that have been killed by the COVID vaccines.
You can do the similar estimates for doctor observations and there the math is even simpler because you know the denominator I reached out to 5 doctors who reported seeing an average of 5 deaths per thousand vaccinated.
Let’s assume that I was very unlucky and all these doctors were 2 standard deviations from the mean. The average practice size was over 1,000 patients.
So that suggests a mean of 2 vaccine deaths in a 1,000 patient practice (which has a std deviation per Poisson of 1.4 so 2+2*1.4=4.8 which is close to our value of 5).
Since there were over 270M people who were vaccinated in America, the conservative estimate using this method is 540,000 Americans have been killed.
Here we don’t even need to know the total number of doctors at all or the patient overlap so there is less confusion. We only need to know that doctors don’t count people twice in their practice, which they don’t.
Summary
If I’m wrong, why aren’t we seeing the correct estimates from any mainstream epidemiologists anywhere in the world?
Any decent scientist would want to do estimates using various statistics to make sure they got the right answer. But nowadays, nobody is showing us their work.
I’ve been doing this for over 3 years now and all the estimates I get (from various methods) are all in the same ballpark, including this one. And my numbers agree with others who have been doing the same thing using a variety of methods (VAERS, large family member surveys, etc).
I’d like to see the work of the experts showing all of us got it wrong, but for some reason, they aren’t publishing their work. I guess they don’t want to embarrass us so they are keeping the true numbers a secret.
So I guess we’ll have to wait. But in the meantime, I wanted to make sure all these epidemiologists know that I’d love to be proven wrong and you won’t hurt my feelings if you show us all the correct estimates.

Ellison has both supported Trump and shied away from that support by supporting DeSantis when they were rivals. This particular plan for Hell on Earth seems severely anti-Trump, IMO.
On Thursday, Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison shared his vision for an AI-powered surveillance future during a company financial meeting, reports Business Insider. During an investor Q&A, Ellison described a world where artificial intelligence systems would constantly monitor citizens through an extensive network of cameras and drones, stating this would ensure both police and citizens don't break the law.
Ellison, who briefly became the world's second-wealthiest person last week when his net worth surpassed Jeff Bezos' for a short time, outlined a scenario where AI models would analyze footage from security cameras, police body cams, doorbell cameras, and vehicle dash cams.
"Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on," Ellison said, describing what he sees as the benefits from automated oversight from AI and automated alerts for when crime takes place. "We're going to have supervision," he continued. "Every police officer is going to be supervised at all times, and if there's a problem, AI will report the problem and report it to the appropriate person."

Bonus: Brave's LEO AI on SciFi author Vernor Vinge's concept of universal law enforcement -- which seems pretty close to what Ellison is pitching now:
Vernor Vinge, an American science fiction author, explores the concept of universal law enforcement (ULE) in his works. ULE refers to the idea of all laws being enforceable or infringements being detectable mechanistically. This concept is discussed in Vinge's novel, "A Deepness in the Sky," and his presentation at the Computers, Freedom, and Privacy conference in 1996. The implications of ULE are also touched upon in relation to Microsoft Palladium and the novel "Rule 34." Vinge's vision of ULE presents a potential limiting factor for the survival of technological society, raising questions about privacy, surveillance, and the nature of law enforcement in a highly connected world.
Between WWII rationing (of nearly everything) and the nightmare COVID lockdowns, restrictions, and coerced jabs, masks, etc., the precedents have been set (including a Supreme Court "OK" for national food rationing) to back a devastating enforced austerity-and-hunger plan for Americans.
An excerpt:
https://quoththeraven.substack.com/p/grocery-rationing-within-four-years
. . . You can sell how this all unfolds, and none of it is implausible. Only a few years ago, governments around the country canceled gatherings for religious holidays, limited the numbers of people who could gather in homes, and banned public weddings and funerals. If they can do that, they can do anything, including the rationing of all food.
The program that Harris has proposed is not like other matters that she has flip-flopped on. She is serious and repeats it. She spoke about it even during the debate with Trump but there was no followup or critique of the scheme offered. Nor does such a crazy plan require some legislation and a vote by Congress. It could come in the form of an executive order. Yes, it would be tested by the Supreme Court but, if recent history holds, the program would be long in effect before the Court weighed in. Nor is it clear how it would rule.
The Supreme Court in 1942 heard the case of Albert Yakus, a Boston-based meat seller who was criminally prosecuted for violating the wholesale beef price ceiling. In Yakus vs. United States, the Supreme Court ruled for the government and against the meat-selling criminal. That’s the existing precedent.
Nor does all this have to unfold immediately following the inauguration. It can happen as matters become ever worse following anti-gouging edicts and when inflation worsens. After all, a presidency that believes in central planning and forced economic austerity would last a full four years, and the coercion could grow month after month until we have comprehensively enforced deprivation by the end, and no one remembers what it was like to buy groceries at market prices with their own money.
I wish I could say that this is an outlandish and fear-mongering warning. It is not. It is a very realistic scenario based on repeated statements and promises plus the recent history of government management of the population. There is likely another wave of inflation coming. This time it will meet with a promise to use every coercive power of government to prevent increases in prices on groceries and rents.
What if voters actually understood this? What then?
Keep in mind the main legacy of the Covid years: governments learned the fullness of what they could do under the right circumstances. That’s the worst possible lesson but that is what has stuck. The implications for the future are grim.
I assume that the timing of this long-known-but-rarely-discussed issue becoming a major fact-checked, ridiculed, talked-about, proven and expanded-on (adrenochrome) meme was arranged by the Trump campaign and/or other White Hats. It is pure genius.
Compared to humans, dogs and cats are all feeling and emotion. Dogs (and cats) help open us up to our own feelings and bring our love to the foreground. There is too-little love in the lives of most people -- probably more true of Woke lefties than of well-grounded MAGA types -- and that effect makes us feel strongly bonded to our pets.
Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, author of Dogs Never Lie About Love and other books, says that "love is the master emotion of dogs." Any pet owner can FEEL that reality (unless they're seriously closed off to it) and since love is a core need for humans -- see Jesus' words on Love in John: 13:34 - 13:35 -- our dogs (or cats) become far more important to us than many non-pet-owners might think.
The emotional punch of this cruelty to animals thing is huge and I suspect the effects will continue to grow. It's a crowbar into the healthy (but often buried or stunted) emotions of millions.

That’s the equivalent of one of those carbon-bolted steel tanks used in irrigation or wastewater. And its certainly a lot more than the 500 gallons that was needed to put out a Model S fire in 2018.
EV battery fires are such a concern that the Department of Transportation convened a whole-ass panel about it last month.
America desperately needs a return to AMERICAN values.
More than half of Gen Zers want to be an influencer — 57% to be exact, according to a 2023 survey of 1,000 Zoomers — but content creators caution it’s not as lax as it seems.
“It’s just constant, Monday through Sunday,” TikTokker Hannah Williams told CNBC. “From the time you wake up to the time you go to bed, the internet’s on, so you’re on as well.”
The 27-year-old runs the popular account Salary Transparent Street, which boasts 1.4 million followers. After quitting her job in 2022 to pursue content creation full-time, Williams now rakes in a sizable $125,000 — but at what cost?

City and federal parks authorities are beefing up resources near Jamaica Bay in Queens following The Post’s expose last week of surging animal sacrifices in the area.
The National Parks Service promised to install a pair of mobile lights by the Addabbo Bridge in the federally-managed Spring Creek Park to ward off people torturing and killing animals under the cover of darkness, Councilwoman Joann Ariola (R-Queens) announced.

Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, may turn more voters away than it attracts.
A new post-debate poll from YouGov released Saturday found that 8% of voters said the pop superstar’s nod is either “somewhat” or “much more likely” to convince them to cast their ballot for the Democrat. But a whopping 20% said they are “somewhat” or “much less likely” to vote for former President Donald Trump’s opponent now that Swift has spoken.

For nervous or anxious friends and family who could use some assurance that Trump and the White Hats (-- will someone please start a BAND with that name?) really ARE in control and that the Satanic Cabal won't remain in power much longer, this is the column to calm them down.

If you understand how elections actually work—and I do because I extensively researched this after the theft of the 2020 election and then again in 2022, especially in AZ—you know that the 'cheat margin' is a very real thing.
Some people think they can just wave their hands and say "ABRACADABRA!" and the cheat margin doesn't matter; it just disappears.
That is nonsense.
Consider this: LAST TIME Trump almost broke their cheat machine. After they had 4 years to get ready to rig it against him and invested more than a billion dollars to defeat him.
How do I know that?
Because the 'cheat' was supposed to be baked in to the early voting totals. Election Day voting itself wasn't supposed to matter all that much. They thought they were THAT FAR AHEAD of Trump.
And so what happened on Election Night of Nov. 3, 2020, as they watched the returns come in?
THEY REALIZED TRUMP WAS GONNA COAST TO VICTORY RIGHT THERE UNLESS THEY DID SOMETHING OBVIOUS, DRAMATIC AND DESPERATE.
So they did.
They did do something obvious, dramatic and desperate.
They simultaneously stopped the counting in five battleground states and began furiously dumping ballots for 3 days until they had enough to pull Biden's bony ass over the finish line by a whisker in the Electoral College.
They flipped PA, GA, AZ, WI, MI by Friday night, Nov. 5, and declared Biden the 'winner'. By a grand total of 43,000 votes spread across those 5 key states that they flipped with fraud.
That's what they had to do when Trump's voting base was much MUCH smaller than it is right now.
Millions of people who voted for Biden last time are now going to vote for Trump. Millions of additional people who didn't even vote last time are now also going to vote for Trump.
