NOTABLE QUOTES

Steve Rossiter  contributor to Canada Free Press:  Which America do you want?  The e pluribus unum traditional, God fearing America, where individual rights, individual initiative, individual creativeness, individual willingness to take risks, individual willingness to be charitable, and individual willingness to defend the rights of others are the foundation?  Or the socialist America controlled by the global elitist ruling class that knows better how to spend your money, what is best for your individual health, and will try to control every facet of your life? That is the America we have been test driving for the last ten months.

John Horvat contributor to The Imaginative Conservative: Government programs cannot restore broken families and shattered communities. Only a moral regeneration of non-economic values can do this. The ravages of loneliness, despair, and suicide must be addressed by filling the spiritual voids that haunt people’s lives—and not by issuing government checks.

Dennis Prager contributor to American Greatness: The great American tragedy is just about every liberal knows everything the Left touches it destroys—but nearly every one of them will vote for the Left anyway.

Anthony Esolen contributor to American Greatness: We are becoming a meritocracy that punishes merit and rewards folly. We have all the disutility of a meritocracy—the snobbishness, the restless ambition, the inclination to see merit only in what can be measured or paid for; even the tendency to pull intelligent people out of their native regions and set them down, like gilded tumbleweeds, in places without memory or character. But we get none of the benefits. We punish truth-telling and intelligence, and reward stupidity.  We are an idiocracy.

Boyd: 10 Amazing Facts About Unborn Babies You Should Know Before SCOTUS Rules On Dobbs
Life inside and outside of the womb is a scientific miracle. While it may be tough to picture what exactly goes on inside of a woman’s pregnant belly, modern medicine and science have shown that unborn babies aren’t just a pile of goo; they are living, breathing, moving humans who are constantly prepping for life outside of the womb. Here are some indisputable facts about unborn babies that the Supreme Court justices would do well to keep in mind when they hear arguments on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization on Wednesday.

Jeffrey: Legacy of 7 Justices: More Than 62 Million Dead Babies
After President Richard Nixon appointed then-Appellate Court Judge Harry Blackmun to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1970, Blackmun somehow convinced members of the U.S. Senate that he embraced judicial restraint and felt a duty to protect “little persons.” When Blackmun’s nomination came up for a vote, Democratic Sen. John McClellan of Arkansas made the case for confirmation. “He does not believe it is either the duty or the prerogative of the Court to change the historical interpretations of the Constitution so as to be tantamount to amending that great document by edicts and decree,” said McClellan. “For these basic principles of judicial integrity, I commend him and respect him.” McClellan then quoted a statement Blackmun had made during the confirmation process about how important the Supreme Court was to “little persons.” “What comes through to me most clearly is the utter respect which the little person has for the Supreme Court of the United States, and I think that the little person feels this is the real bastion of freedom and protection of strength in this nation,” Blackmun had said, according to the Congressional Record. “It was a lesson that was taught to me in the last two weeks and one which I think I shall not forget,” said Blackmun. Three years later, Blackmun wrote the court’s opinion in Roe v. Wade. It declared there was a constitutional “right to privacy” that included the right to kill what could be called “little persons” — unborn babies — in the womb.

DEEP STATE

Sundance: DOJ Prosecutors Using Grand Jury to Subpoena Financial Records of 2020 Election Audit Groups
I hate to say I toldyaso, but…. well, {Go Deep}.  The Washington Post is writing a story today about federal prosecutors using grand juries to subpoena the financial records of individuals and groups who were associated with the 2020 election audit efforts. […] The specifics of this first report surround attorney Sidney Powell and her ‘Defend The Republic‘ organization, one of several individuals and groups who were raising money to support 2020 election audits. The Sidney Powell, Mike Flynn, and Patrick Byrne network are under review. As you review the article it is important to note few key elements: (1) The subpoena document’s were leaked to the Washington Post by someone inside the investigation; that speaks toward the larger motive of the DOJ/FBI effort itself. (2) The specific DOJ prosecutors are the same ones working hand-in-glove with the J6 committee.

Pullmann: How The FBI Raid On Project Veritas Helped Protect The New York Times
The FBI’s raids on Project Veritas had the effect of protecting not just the Biden family but also The New York Times. It’s yet another episode in a long history of the FBI and New York Times wildly abusing their power. Several observers have pointed out the terrible optics and even worse legal and cultural implications of the FBI’s raids earlier this month on three undercover journalists’ homes. Since the reporters’ organization, Project Veritas, is a political opponent of the American regime, the raids echo government behavior in unfree countries such as Russia, China, and Turkey. Yet there’s another, less remarked, aspect to this story. It’s the raids’ effect of protecting a longtime, top-tier deep state information operations partner, The New York Times. Project Veritas is a threat to The New York Times, not only in some of its undercover reporting about Times employees but also in its lawsuit against the Times for defamation. Curiously, then, The New York Times appeared to be aware of the raids about as soon as they commenced, as well as possibly obtaining private information about Project Veritas from the FBI operation.

2020 ELECTION

(11/3/21) Bannons War Room: Major Evidence For Standing In SCOTUS For Fraudulent Election Case
Kurt Olson is a lawyer working with Mike Lindell on the lawsuit he is promoting for state attorneys general to challenge the 2020 presidential election. Olson says the new proposed lawsuit will be different from the Texas lawsuit that the Supreme Court rejected in December in that it includes new evidence and has additional proof of standing.

ELECTIONS

Hemingway: Harvard’s ‘Lawfare’ Programs Are an Omen of Elections Decided Not at Polls — But in Court
Before the Donald Trump-inspired challenges of the 2020 presidential election, Democrats and liberals alleged fraud and formally contested the results of the 2000, 2004, and 2016 Republican-won presidential elections. Those earlier challenges spurred the creation of a network of election litigators on the left — what J. Christian Adams, a conservative ex-Justice Department attorney pitted against them, calls a “linear build-out” of “some 30 groups” responsible for a lot of sudden changes in election law last year amid the pandemic. […]  Now Harvard Law School, in seeming recognition of the power of this “lawfare” strategy, is gearing up for a future where elections are regularly decided not at the ballot box – but in the courts. Two programs at Harvard Law show close ties between the school, the Democratic Party, and liberal activist groups with an interest in fighting elections through the judicial system.

GOP

Dr. Mehmet Oz: Why I’m running to be a senator from Pennsylvania
We are angry at our government and at each other. We have not managed our crises as effectively as past generations. During the pandemic, I learned that when you mix politics and medicine, you get politics instead of solutions. That’s why I am running for the U.S. Senate: to help fix the problems and to help us heal. Growing up as the child of immigrants, I witnessed my family’s sacrifices. My father grew up dirt poor (literally sleeping on a dirt floor) and loved this country as much as anyone already here. He saw the deep darkness of the alternatives. He taught me to study hard, enjoy the dignity of work, and serve others. My formative years were spent preparing for a lifetime of challenging operations.

FAUCI’S VIRUS

AP: FDA panel approves first-of-a-kind COVID-19 pill from Merck
A panel of U.S. health advisers on Tuesday narrowly backed the benefits of a closely watched COVID-19 pill from Merck, setting the stage for a likely authorization of the first drug that Americans could take at home to treat the virus. A Food and Drug Administration panel voted 13-10 that the drug’s benefits outweigh its risks, including potential birth defects if used during pregnancy. The group’s recommendation came after hours of debate about the drug’s modest benefits and potential safety issues.

Duke: Video: The COVID con is the ’76 swine flu fiasco on steroids
In a social media feed yesterday, I came across a 1979 60 Minutes segment on the propaganda surrounding the 1976 swine flu scare. Many of us had already heard about how the event was reminiscent of today’s COVID-19 con, but actually watching the segment drives home how striking the parallels between the two disease scares are. Exaggerations of the bugs’ severity, media propaganda and fear-mongering, an effort to vaccinate the whole nation, serious vaccine-coincident side-effects, and an apparent government cover-up of the latter were all elements of the ’76 fiasco just as they epitomize what’s occurring today. The segment opened with late 60 Minutes host Mike Wallace saying: . .

Neff: Only 12 Arizona Kids Died In 2020 From COVID Infections, So Why Were 29 More Deaths Counted
It is a frightening headline to read: Arizona’s pediatric COVID-19 death rate was 250 percent higher than the national average. So says the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) in its 2020 Arizona Child Fatality Review report. The problem, according to many medical experts, is that the underlying data on the number of deaths has been intentionally -and admittedly- tweaked to include nearly 30 children who were never infected with COVID-19. Those counts far outpace the 12 child deaths directly attributed to the virus, according to the ADHS report. The report shows that 838 children died in Arizona last year, with the top five causes of death being prematurity, congenital anomalies, motor vehicle crashes, poisonings, and firearm injuries. Without a doubt, every death of a child is a tragedy. Yet understanding how the state agency responsible for promoting public health chose to report 41 child COVID-19 deaths when 70 percent of those children were never infected is important at a time when vaccine mandates are under scrutiny.

Margolis: Domestic Travel Ban for Unvaccinated ‘Not Off the Table’ Says Psaki
“So, the President said earlier today that there haven’t been any recommendations to put in place domestic travel requirements. But what we saw with the Delta variant is that once it was already here, it spread rapidly across the country.  So why not have any testing or vaccination requirements whatsoever for domestic air travel since people are, you know, going fairly openly across the country?” a reporter asked Psaki. “Well, I think what you heard the President say […] was that he wasn’t taking any options off the table, but he’s going to rely on that advice of his health and medical experts,” Psaki responded.

CHINA: AMERICA’S MORTAL ENEMY

Hagstrom: China Is The Primary Source Of Another Plague Killing Americans
While many in the U.S. have attacked China for its role in allowing COVID-19 to spread across the globe, China is also the primary source of another plague that has killed hundreds of thousands of Americans in recent years: Fentanyl. Opioid and drug overdose deaths skyrocketed 200% in the U.S. from 2000 to 2014, and haven’t stopped increasing since. The country hit a record 63,600 deaths in 2016 and we crossed the 100,000 death threshold for the 12-month period following April 2020, with the majority of those deaths coming from synthetic opioids like fentanyl. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cited synthetic opioids as the cause of death in 62,338 of those 100,000 deaths, adding that the category was “primarily fentanyl.”

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA REGIME: TRANSFORMING FOREIGN POLICY

Moore: Putin lays down ‘red line,’ threatens retaliation if missiles placed in Ukraine
“The emergence of such threats represents a ‘red line’ for us,” the Russian leader said. “I hope that it will not get to that and common sense and responsibility for their own countries and the global community will eventually prevail.” Putin also threatened to retaliate using the Kremlin’s latest weapon, a Tsirkon hypersonic cruise missile Russia successfully test-fired earlier this month that can travel nine times the speed of sound.

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA REGIME: TRANSFORMING AMERICA

O’Neill: Space Force general says US satellites are attacked on daily basis
China and Russia regularly strike US satellites with lasers, radiofrequency jammers, and cyber attacks, Gen. David Thompson told The Washington Post in an op-ed published Tuesday. “The threats are really growing and expanding every single day. And it’s really an evolution of activity that’s been happening for a long time,” said Gen. Thompson, Vice Chief of Space Operations in the new military branch. “We’re really at a point now where there’s a whole host of ways that our space systems can be threatened.”

Horvat: The Marxist Worldview Behind the Spending Bill
The proposed yet flawed solution sends a clear message: Money will buy happiness. Money—”free money”—will solve all problems of resentment. Money garnered by higher taxes on the rich will buy prosperity. Money, lots and lots of it, will smother all inequality. Spend boldly. Spend quickly. Spend uninhibitedly. Don’t worry about the details; everything will turn out well in the end. This is the Democrats’ worldview so well described by David Brooks. Economics Is not the Most Important Prism It is also the Marxist worldview. Marx saw everything through the economic prism, and his dialectic materialism taught that history is defined by the class struggle between the haves and have-nots. All problems can be reduced to economic structures that government must change to promote inequality. Systemic change will take from the rich and give to the poor. The Marxist worldview is wrong.

Zeisloft: ‘To The Left Of Lenin’: Elizabeth Warren Associate May Serve As Top Fed Official
Republican lawmakers are extremely wary of Cordray’s potential confirmation. “Richard Cordray’s disastrous and divisive tenure at the CFPB raises serious questions about how he might undermine the Fed’s independence and nonpartisan reputation,” Senate Banking Committee Ranking Member Pat Toomey (R-PA) told Axios. “This is the individual who helped Elizabeth Warren stand up an agency so unaccountable the Supreme Court took away its independent status. I’d hope the White House considers less divisive figures for this role.” “I like Richard. I respect Richard. Richard is to the left of Lenin,” Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) told The Wall Street Journal.

Prager: A Brief Guide to Leftist Destruction
To understand the modern world, perhaps the most important rule one needs to know is this: Everything the Left touches it ruins. This first became clear to me years ago during my radio show. I was talking about the Left’s war on the Boy Scouts (for not accepting announced gay people). It was becoming clear that this would ultimately lead to the decline of the Boy Scouts, which led me to ask: “Will the left replace the Boy Scouts with a left-wing Boy Scouts?” Then I answered my own question: Of course not. Because the Left only destroys; it doesn’t build anything (other than government). In support of that observation, here is a list of many of the things the Left ruins and often destroys. No. 1: Art.  The Left long ago conquered the art world. Consequently, since the 20th century, most modern art has been ugly, meaningless, and nihilistic—the opposite of what Western art had always been. No. 2 . . .

Greenfield: Kamala Stopped FBI From Monitoring Black Supremacists Like Waukesha Killer
Two years ago, Senator Kamala Harris, along with Senator Cory Booker and six other Democrat Senate members, attacked the Justice Department for monitoring black supremacists. The politicians signed a letter falsely claiming that black identity extremists was “a fabricated term based on a faulty assessment of a small number of isolated incidents”. And they argued that monitoring black racists was racist. When Kamala Harris was running for president, the privileged daughter of wealthy foreign students falsely claimed that she faced segregation in Berkeley, California. “That little girl was me,” she famously declared.
In Waukesha, Jackson Sparks, an 8-year-old boy, was killed by the black supremacist terrorist whom Kamala Harris had protected. That little boy’s blood is on her hands.

TRANSHUMANISM: THE NEXT GENERATION HUMAN

Bannons War Room: Special Edition: Transhumanism 101
Steve Bannon and Joe Allen put together a special edition of “War Room” dedicated to a thorough discussion of how transhumanism is working to supplant the human experience with the digital experience. The first segment focuses on how technology can be inserted into the human being to monitor and track our every move. The second segment expand the discussion into how government and corporations can use this technology to control all human activity. Part 3 talks about the desire of transhumanists to reach a point called the Singularity, where machines will surpass humans and become self-conscious and self-replicating. Part 4 talks about the ultimate goal of transhumanists to create an immortal version of life in order to become like God.

HISTORY 101

Natal: A Brief History of Mob Violence
Oligarchs have been fomenting mob violence for millennia. They usually tell people that the destabilization of society is for “social justice,” or “liberty”. They sell the idea that, if the people just oust the current power structure, then they will be free. In reality, their freedom was never on the table. It was a battle between the king and the oligarchs for who controlled the serfs.

Hein: Samuel Francis Smith and the Song “America”
We know where, when, and how the famous song “America” (“My Country, ‘Tis of Thee”) came to be written. But what led Samuel Francis Smith, a young Baptist divinity student, to choose the words he did to go with the tune in front of him? Why was a person in training for Baptist ministry writing a hymn that expressed love of country and that emphasized, above all, freedom? In May of 1887 an elderly tourist was sitting in the gallery of the Board of Trade in Chicago, Illinois, quietly observing all the commotion of buying and selling.

Berrien: Dem Senator Warns Of ‘Revolution’ If Roe Overturned In Case Now Before SCOTUS
This week, the United States Supreme Court will hear arguments in a blockbuster case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health, that could lead to the overturning of the infamous Roe V. Wade decision of 1973 that permitted abortion. Democrat Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), speaking at  a virtual event on Monday featuring New Hampshire’s entire House and Senate delegation, condemned any attempt to overturn Roe, threatening that to do so would cause a “revolution.” “This infringement on women’s rights, on our privacy, on the attempt to have state control of our personal health, really is what we would see in an authoritarian state,” she said pompously. “It’s not what we would expect in New Hampshire. I think if you want to see a revolution, go ahead, outlaw Roe v. Wade and see what the response is of the public, particularly young people. Because I think that will not be acceptable to young women or young men.”
