Consecrate Russia Already!
Timothy Birdnow
Here is a rather dull article about Pope Leo greeting a crowd for the first time since his hospitalization for lung cancer. Yawn, right. But it made me think.
There is war all over the world right now and there seems to be no way to stop it, but I know how it could be done and the Pope is the only man capable of doing it. Hear me out.
Of all the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the most talked about and firmly established one is Fatima. It is the Gold Standard of all Marianne apparitions. Of that there is absolutely no question. It has been exhaustively studied by scholars and ruled by the Church to be 100% authentic; God did indeed dispatch His mother to give comfort and counsel to Mankind at the little village in Portugal.
I say this in preamble to my proposal to establish that this is coming from God.
The world is burning and the Pope is fiddling. Why hasn't he gone to Russia, or Ukraine, or Iran?
At Fatima Mary]link=https://fatima.org/the-consecration-of-russia] told the visionaries a simple remedy for all of this:
"I shall come to ask for the Consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart…If people attend to My requests, Russia will be converted and the world will have peace.”
But no Pope - not even Pope St. John Paul II - dared do it. JPII came close, consecrating the whole world to the Immaculate Heart and he mumbled something about Russia (and we had a limited time of peace and prosperity, just as we made a limited response to her request) but none have dared make this consecration. The Pope, and ONLY the Pope, can do it.
If Leo wants to live up to that name he chose he needs to step up, and to do that he needs to finally fulfill Mary's request. If he consecrates Russia to the Immaculate Heart this destructive Ukrainian war will end and there will be peace. The War in Iran will probably end too if this happens.
He has the power, he has the authority. Now he needs to grow a pair.
The Papacy was terrified of doing this when the Soviet Union was in existence and they feared the political ramifications of it. They also feared angering the Protestants, with whom they were negotiating a return of the Protestant churches - ecumenism. Ecumenism is an attempt to meld the Christian world back together, and the Catholic churches appear much more Protestant now than they did in times past; much of the ritual and even the design of the churches has changed to "modernize" the Church, to make it more inviting for Protestants. No more prayers in Latin, no more having the Priest on the altar with his back to the congregation. The churches now are more open, more inviting, far less judgmental, far less strict, and far more empty as a result. They no longer preach messages with any real content. It's become a social club with a crucifix.
The Pope doesn't want to mess that up by consecrating (dedicatin) an Orthodox Russia. He, like his predecessors, have hopes of bringing the Orthodox back into the fold.
So what IS the Pope planning to do? He's going to Uruguay, Peru, and other Latin American countries where he will receive adulation. But that is not where he is needed. He should visit Kiev and then Moscow and try to broker peace. He should visit American troops in the Persian Gulf (obviously not go to Iran - they'd probably kill him in a horrible and vulgar way). Instead he's going to friendly country. In my mind that makes him a coward.
Look, the guy is in his seventies and has lung cancer. If he is killed while visiting these countries it will suck, but he doesn't have THAT long to go anyway and if he truly believes he will be joyous at the prospect. But instead he goes as far away from these conflicts as he can.
And he, like his predecessors, refuses to do the one thing that will bring peace to this Earth.
This is entirely in his hands, and those hands will be stained in blood on Judgment Day. He will have to answer for his refusal to act here. His silence is deafening.
Consecrate Russia already!

Barbara Bush Donated Heavily to Talarico
Timothy Birdnow
The shrub family shows it's true colors.
With Bush leadership it's no wonder the country has fallen apart.
Bear in mind this is George W.s daughter, not the old lady who would find it difficult to sign the check given her, ah, state and all. Of course that won't prevent her from voting, at least not as a Democrat.
This isn't the first time; Babs had campaigned for Kamala Harris too, so she is a Leftist loser.
I always warned the Bush family is not to be trusted.

Bless the Least of the Children
Timothy Birdnow
The sad thing is the poorly educated teachers and administrators probably believe they are following the Constitution since it bans CONGRESS from establishing religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. These dopes think it means banning school children from simply showing their Bibles rather than banning teachers from promoting or prohibiting the free exercise of said religion.
The kids in a Washington school had to hide their Bibles in sealed envelopes lest they infect the minds of other children, who may start praying or act out in other destructive ways.
The HORROR!
FTA:
Students attending an optional, off-campus Bible program were required to carry their Bibles and other religious materials in sealed envelopes inside their backpacks when they returned to school.
Now the Everett School District has agreed to apologize, revise its procedures, provide religious liberty training for school board members, and pay $275,000 in attorney’s fees to settle a federal lawsuit.
As Fox News reports, the controversy involved LifeWise Academy, which provides privately funded Bible instruction to public school students during the school day. Parents must give permission, and the classes are conducted away from school property.
But Everett officials weren't satisfied with making children conceal their Bibles. They also required parents to submit new permission slips every week rather than allowing authorization for an entire semester. LifeWise was excluded from certain school community events and opportunities to distribute flyers available to secular organizations.
And then there's school board member Charles Adkins, who at a December 2025 board meeting, publicly declared, "I do in fact hold animus toward LifeWise Academy.”
If you hold animus against LifeWise does that make you Lifefoolish? I would think so.
Undoubtedly this creep is an atheist or some sort of neopagan, or maybe Muslim He may have a philosophical hatred of Christians and Christianity. But many of the others just did it because they were too ignorant of what separation of Church and State" means (and it wasn't even written in the Constitution. That phrase came from Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptist Church "it's as if there were a wall of separation between church and State" was Jefferson's exact quote in his letter to the Baptists.)
The reality is there is a concerted effort to remove Christianity from public life. This is the Soviet model; the Constitution of 1936 expressly granted freedom of worship - but it also granted freedom of anti-religious activities, meaning they could target churches and bust up worshippers. Also, the "freedom" did not allow church schools nor promoting religion with pamphlets or books or whatnot. They wanted to strangle religion while making it appear they were protecting it. Stalin was pleased and the Soviet Union saw church attendance decline drastically over the years.
That is exactly what they are trying to do here. They are making all signs of religion disappear so as to eventually make church attendance fade away. It's unamerican and has no business in our schools but there you are. Teachers tend to be very liberal because they live like leeches off government money. So they all go overboard in stuff like this.
America was founded by Christian men and women and the country was settled by Christians seeking free worship as they pleased. The clause was put into the Constitution to prevent one religious group dominating the country, but it has become a war on religion itself, most especially on Christianity. If you wage war you shouldn't be surprised when war is waged on you; we will eventually have the power to take away your parasitic lifestyle and we are starting to see that now as things like the Department of Education are defunded. Parents pay the taxes for those schools and they can stop paying. The public really has more power than they know and if they exercise it these cretins running our schools will have to back off, or better yet leave the profession entirely. Peddle your Godless Marxism elsewhere. Our children deserve better.

The REAL Causes of Inflation
Timothy Birdnow
As Vincent Price would say on Btman, "eggzactly":
FTA:
I too find that there are three oligarchs in our nation, but my three are significantly different from Sanders’s. The real oligarchs causing the biggest impact on affordability and the cost of living are the federal government, state governments, and local governments.
That’s a trifecta for sure, but with one key difference. Bernie’s anger is aimed at the private sector, where most Americans can choose to buy or not buy. That same decision is not available for citizens of a government oligarchy except at the state and local levels.
For instance, even Gavin Newsom understands that a wealth tax at the state level is disastrous, but he supports it at the federal level. He fully understands, and has seen, mass migration from California to less burdensome states. He clearly understands that a citizen can mitigate the oligarchy of the state and local government but not of the federal government.
The affordability crisis due to government is hidden in the form of price increases due to higher taxes and fees on the products and services we buy. When Americans talk about inflation, they usually talk about prices when we should be talking about affordability, which includes the government-imposed oligarchy costs.
And do not forget the big culprit, the Federal Reserve, who prints money as if it were water in the ocean. Inflation is a monetary problem, not a production problem. Sadly few people understand how inflation works, or how our monetary system works.
It used to be tied to gold (and then gold and silver) and the price of gold determined how many dollars went into circulation. That was the whole point of Fort Knox, to hold gold to back government spending. Now money is whatever the Federal Reserves decides it will be, and they are forever inflating currency by printing more, then they fiddle with interest rates to avoid "the economy overheating" as if demand is the problem. It's not; that is quasi-socialist thinking, the stupidity that came out of John Maynard Keynes and was employed by Nazis and Fascists and eventually the rest of us. It has been successful only because America has grown and keeps growing and so it can overcome the idiocy. But it won't forever and high prices now are just one of the early symptoms of the Western World's eventual collapse.
It's like saying we spend a lot of money on feed for the horse - why should we do that? Let's just SAY we feed the horse and it will be fine! For a time it is, then it gets weak and feeble and eventually dies. And the horse owner is stunned that the animal he took such good care of was so ungrateful as to croak on him.
That is essentially what the Fed is doing; making money out of nothing and seeing a booming economy so they say "why should we not make more money?" And it works for a time.
Because there IS NO WEALTH behind the money. It's just paper - or now just digits. There is no there there. It's a Ponzi scheme that eventually will leave someone holding the bag.
At any rate the author is correct; every level of government adds cost to most if not everything we buy. And a lot of it is wasteful. Do we really need libraries to host trans readings? Do we really need all of the "services" we are promised? DOJE found all sorts of stuff to cut when they were operating. Government is basically a welfare scheme for the politically connected.
We need to return to the traditional ideas of limited government. The Father Christmas approach to government is a failure; it's costing us way, way too much. Eventually it's going to crash and burn.
I just hope I'm gone when it does. I don't think the Ozark Hilton - my home-made cabin in the Ozark Mountains - is going to be adequate for me when nobody can spare a dime anymore.

Andrew "Benedict Arnold" McCarthy
Timothy Birdnow
If there ever was a reason to toss National Review into the trash it is this despicable article by the once-good Andrew McCarthy.
I'm sorry if it's behind a paywall. You may not be able to see it. But the title speaks for itself.
Aid and Comfort to the enemy is treason, and the punishment for treason is death. McCarthy is calling for Donald Trump to be executed.
McCarthy was once Rush Limbaugh's friend. Rush is no doubt rolling over in his grave.
In fact NRO has gone completely mad and is no longer in any way a mainstream Conservative publication. Hatred of all things Trump has driven them to the brink of insanity (actually over the brink) and in their madness they are now calling the President a traitor. It's astonishing.
McCathy used to be sensible but apparently MAGA hatred has rotted their collective brains. They are now basically libertarian.
The same holds true for the American Spectator, which used to be a great magazine but has turned into NeverTrumpers and it's quality has greatly declined.
I got being NeverTrump in the early days. I thought him a tool of the Ruling Class, frankly, and was pretty bitterly opposed to him when he ran against my pick, Ted Cruz. But time has made me far less enthusiastic about Cruz and a stout Trump supporter, and that is because he has delivered, or really tried to deliver, on what he promised. He is not remaking America just restoring her. His policies are pretty much the same as Bill Clinton's back in the Nineties (sans Hillary), which makes Trump moderately liberal, but we moved so far Leftward that Clinton now looks more like Ronald Reagan. Trump was and is the best chance we have to restore America but the idiots at NRO and TAS are stuck on stupid, demanding some sort of purity from the man that nobody is going to be able to provide.
A lot of it stems from the tariffs and from securing the borders. NRO has always been a fan of absolute trade (it's not free trade) and lukewarm to border enforcement because the big money classes wanted the borders open. TAS used to be better but they seem to have become infected with TDS too.
Calling Trump a traitor is a bridge too far and I urge everyone to boycott National Review until they issue an apology. Oh, and they need to fire Andrew McCarthy.
I would like to point out to that jackass McCarthy that we are NOT AT WAR with Russia and have, in fact, been dealing with them all along. There is no enemy here. If Congress were to declare war then there would be an enemy. But not now.
Trump is hardly a traitor if he agrees to a limited trade deal with Russia. Calling him one is vile.
Certainly McCarthy calling Trump a traitor gives aid and comfort to America's political enemies. Who is the traitor Andy?
When George Washington went to visit his friend Benedict Arnold at West Point Arnold plotted to turn him over to the British. Pure luck or Divine Providence saved Washington from a hanging and saved the Revolution, but Arnold certainly tried. That is quite similar to what McCarthy has done here. He is trying to turn Trump over to the evil Leftists who so hate him. BTW doesn't he see that the Democrats and all leftists hate Trump? Why does McCarthy think that is the case?
Arnold barely escaped a hanging of his own, and fled to the British who never trusted a traitor like him. He died penniless in London. Maybe McCarthy can quit writing for NR and instead go to the New York Times. I'm sure they'd take him - but they would never trust him.
National Review owes everyone an apology. McCarthy needs to be in search of a job. Maybe he can work in a free law clinic? He should be a greeter at Walmart.

All Quiet on the Russian Front?
Reader Mike has this to say about the Russo-Ukrainian war:
The reality is Ukraine has already damaged Russia's ability to produce diesel for years so why should Zelensky care. What I don't understand is why the European countries aren't on Zelensky's butt. In Belgium diesel is going for about $9.15 a gallon. Talk about a hurting, yet they are silent as Zelensky makes it tougher on them. The trade off must be what Ukraine is doing to the Russian military in losses in men and material. Ukraine has managed to reclaim about 150 square miles of territory. The territory reclaimed is a junk yard of burned out Russian vehicles and rotting corpses of dead Russians. Losses in men run from 500,000 to a million. Losses in material is running in the 100s of billions. To bad Trump cant make Putin see the light and sit down and talk peace.
Tim adds:
I hear you Mike.
I suspect the Europeans don't care about diesel because they were all committed to the Paris Accord and are going to use this to transition to "renewables" which they still believe can alter the world economy and end climate change. I suspect the Europeans hope to use this to convince their populations that dependence on diesel and other fossil fuels is bad for their own security and by letting the Russian diesel industry suffer they may suffer too but can turn that to their advantage and get more electric trucks and biodiesel and the like.
And also the plan all along was to bleed Russia to the point where they will have no choice but to stop trying to create an alternate system outside of their "rules based order" as they call it aka the international system and force them to take international aid, borrow money from the big international banks, and otherwise integrate into the European dominated New World Order system. I think they see Russia eventually establishing a liberal government that is in line with their values and willing to join the E.U. in time. I believe that is their goal and has been all along. This couldn't be attained through simple financial pressures since Moscow has already largely severed ties with the big banks and other financial scavengers. But a long, bloody, destructive war may make them more amenable. I fear the Europeans don't care about the Ukraine at all, just are using it to advance their own interests.
Putin walked right into that trap, I suspect. But of course he is the one who started the war in the first place and he should have been more adept at reading the tea leaves. Clearly he was very ill-advised by his military people.
Putin is a dirt bag and Russia would be well-rid of him, but from what I have seen anyone who would take over there would be worse.
I would also add if Russia were integrated into the European Union and even NATO they could in the end wind up being a worse threat to OUR security. How will Brussels hold control of the union with the Russians in it? Especially with France in so much trouble and Germany isn't far behind. Russia could well wind up in control in time.
But I see no way Russia would ever join an a political organization with the Germans; they hate them way too much.
Looking into the future I can see NATO and the E.U. becoming our enemy and our having a cold war with them. Integrating Russia, with her oil and gas and manpower (dwindling as we speak, of course) and with her massive nuclear arsenal into the European Alliance would make Europe at least comparable in power to the U.S. and they know it. I suspect this too is one of their goals.
So to me it makes sense how they've approached this whole war. This is, after all, the model used by France in the creation of the European Union in the first place; they wanted to integrate their economy with Germany's to make the Germans unwilling to ever attack them again. They did this by first forming an economic framework (The European Coal and Steel Community) which grew into the Common Market then the European Union. They did it and now Germany and France are little more than provinces in the European Union, run from Brussels. They hope to use this same Anschluss model on Russia, to tie Russia into their New World Order system. They hope to create a new nation with real power not dependent on the United States.
(By the by there was also a plan by the International elites to turn North America into a North American Union and that's why we had the North American Free Trade Agreement and in fact there is an African Union too, with similar goals. This was all part of an international movement to ultimately create world government, but I digress.)
Zelensky, who, I am sure, is run by the internationalists, refuses to negotiate peace. Of course Putin is making that refusal very easy as Putin is still under the illusion he can get a big win. He has been indulging in a war of attrition but he didn't anticipate drone warfare, which nullifies his larger army and greater resources. Also, I don't think he expected all the European and American aid that would flow into the Ukraine. At this point Putin needs to sit down with Zelensky in private and work out a way he can save face and get out. Both sides need to make it appear they won in this. There is too much bad blood, so I doubt it will happen.
And I would add Putin needs security guarantees to take to his people. HE didn't covet Ukraine for security reasons but economic and matters of pride, but the Russian People are suspicious by nature and also fear not having control of their borders. The country is mostly a flat plain and enemies have just strolled in for centuries. The Ukraine has always been a buffer zone; the very name means "borderland" and the Mongols destroyed it and kept destroying it so it was a wasteland that a Western army could not cross because they wouldn't be able to provision themselves. The Russians do not feel safe with a foreign power at their doorstep. When NATO expanded into Poland and the Baltic States the Russian People got very nervous. If the Ukraine joins NATO the Russians would be terrified. They want the borderland to be a borderland and not part of an enemy coalition, which they see NATO to be.
Of course Putin has other motives but the Russians themselves fear this. At least a good number of them do.
At any rate I know I made a long-winded reply to you Mike but I felt it necessary and also I'm feeling unusually windy today. So cheers!

Rampaging RINO's and Wily Coyotes
Timothy Birdnow
Trump says Killer Karl Rove and John "I'm as corny as" Cornyn will be at fault if Ken Paxton loses to Tallimebananarico.
Trump is right; Cornyn has actively worked against Paxton, encouraging his followers to vote against him. As for Rove, he's long been the Bush family lawyer and despises any real conservatives. Paxton is such.
And Paxton has gotten little to no money from the Republican National Committee, showing the RINO's still have a stranglehold on the party.
When Conservatives lose the RINO wing tells us to suck it up and vote for the RiNO, but when we win they take their ball and go home. I long for the day when the RINO wing can be safely kicked out of the GOP entirely and then they can go hang with the Democrats, who won't have them, of course. They will learn the hard way that the Dems were never their friends, just used them to gain power.
Anyway we need to purge Rove from any position of power and that includes his job and his seat on the board of directors at Fox News. Fox is moving ever leftward and it is going to ruin them in years to come (and probably us as well unless Newsmax or OANN grow big).
BTW I hear Sean Hannity was responsible for taking out Katie Zacharia, launching a surprise attack on her when she was interviewed by Hannity. Word on the street has it that Zacharia was not the spokeswoman of choice for Susie Wiles, Trump's Chief of Staff and a good friend of Hannity's.
Her tenure of office was even shorter than the next shortest - Anthony Scaramucci. The Mooch at least lasted a full week.
I know little about Zacharia but she apparently padded her resume', giving the impression she was a lawyer when in fact she failed the bar (something quite common). If we are to dismiss people for resume' padding most of Washington would be gone.
I've never trusted Susie Wiles. She ran the RINO John Huntsman's Presidential campaign, for instance, which does not speak well for her commitment. I would add she is the daughter of NFL star and broadcaster Pat Summerall and that she has never held a ral job outside of politics, starting her career as a receptionist for politician Jack Kemp.
Anyway I don't trust Wiles; I think she is Wily. And if Katie Zacharia was a bad pick because of her record why didn't Wiles know that and bring it up to Trump? Sounds to me like she was either derelict in her duty to vet Zacharia or she put a hit on her. Either way I feel Zacharia has gotten a raw deal here. She should at least have been given a couple of weeks.

Omar Lashes Out (but What Else is New)
Timothy Birdnow
This from the brother-marrying son daughter of a genocidal military man.
lhan Omar@IlhanMNThank you to everyone who stood with me over the years. It’s been a scary journey but I have always been grounded in my work and ability to provide exemplary service to my constituents. Trump and his administration have been after me since I arrived in Congress. I have always stood up to him and that will never change. The pedophile protector will never silence me.
She sure is cocky. And calling Trump a pedophile when she married her brother is pure bravado.
One of the commenters (before she shut them off) scoffed, saying Omar was exonerated over these charges in 2019. I hate to break it to the brother lover and this fellow but not only did a Federal judge issue the search warrant by a BIDEN APPOINTED federal judge who is a protege' of James Boasberg. There is new information that has come to light. And even the Biden DOJ had half-heartedly investigated the "riches to rags" Congress chick.
(BTW she looks like a trannie to me. And she never takes that scarf off her noggin; I wonder what is under there. Maybe it's just empty space?)

Trump Suspends 100% Tariffs on Top Importers of Russian Oil
Timothy Birdnow
Zelensky really should have known better than to flip Trump the bird.
Beggars can't be choosers and ingrates wind up losers.
While the President did not name the five largest customers for Russian crude they are China, India, Turkey, and the European Union.
The Lindsay Graham sanctions had a provision that said the President could waive these sanctions if he believed it was in the national interest. Trump invoked that to Congress, although he did not say HOW it is in the national interest. (Of course that should be self-explanatory as the price of diesel has exploded and at this point we would be killing allies and countries with which we are not at war at the moment. It clearly would be in our interest to avoid a world-wide economic crash.)
But the pleasant thing about this is Zelensky bombed oil refineries after Trump asked him nicely to not do that, and when asked about it he dismissed Trump and America's concerns with a haughty "I'm done". Well, so are we Mr. Zelensky.
If you or any other country wants our help you had best be polite to us. Gone are the days where foreign "allies" could dump all over us and still expect us to pick up the check at the end of the day.
We're done!

Wages Up, Openings Up, for American Construction Workers Thanks to Trump Enforcement of Immigration Law
Timothy Birdnow
Wages are rising and job openings are plentiful in construction in America as a result of the Administration kicking illegal aliens out of the country. Amazingly, this is how the pro-amnesty Wall Street Journal puts it:
Imagine my tears flowing over this unhappy news.
This article is paywalled and only gives the first couple of paragraphs but the good folks at Breitbart summarize it here.
From the Breitbart article:
American construction workers in Florida who build the wooden frames for housing can now charge roughly $42 per hour, up from $20 per hour, Scott Brannock, president of Jacksonville-based Tidewater Homes and the Northeast Florida Builders Association, told the newspaper.
"We’re almost dead in the water because our [foreign migrant] workforce is gone,” he complained in the October 16 report.
"A September survey from the National Association of Home Builders found the cost of labor had increased a median of 4.2% from the previous year,” the newspaper reported.
The loss of migrant labor in Americans’ national labor is forcing CEOs to hire more Americans, the newspaper noted.
Oh, the horror! Imagine; having to hire American workers and pay them better!
This is grounds for celebration for everyone except maybe the owners of these companies; more work, better work, better pay for everyone. And this will entice more Americans - especially the young - to get into the trades and off their parents' basement couches.
What will this accomplish? Kids will choose the trades over college, depriving academia of their money and preventing them from creating little Democratic Socialists. It's a win-win for America, if you ask me.
People who own construction companies are usually quite wealthy from it; it's long been a very lucrative trade. While I like people being able to become wealthy I do NOT want them to do so at the expense of everyone else. Yes, they are making a product people want and need, but they are cheating to do so with illegal labor. And they are wrecking the country in the process. It's anti-American.
Yes, this may add to the price of housing in the short term but this will force construction companies to devise new, more efficient ways of doing things.
And frankly, my experience with alien labor has been bad; they usually are careless and make a mess and don't show up on time. In other words they bring the same standards they had in Nicaragua or whatever Third World Hellhole they fled in the first place.
Well, that's not acceptable and shouldn't be. But because they work cheap the owners want it and they have had both parties in our government on-board with turning a blind eye to illegal immigration so the gravy train can keep rolling.
I have long argued that the situation is analogous to the Antebellum South. The South was agrarian with large plantations owned by rich guys and they all made out well with free labor - slave labor. It ruined the entire economy of the old South; working people couldn't compete with free labor and while a few small businesses and farms did survive most of them wound up going bankrupt and being purchased by the big plantations. Wages were depressed because of it too and a man in need of a job usually couldn't afford to live on the poor wages, assuming he could find a job at all.
In the North factories were being built and small farms were ubiquitous. Many Southern families moved north to take jobs or buy land or whatnot.
The North boomed and the South withered and that was because the South had slavery and the North did not.
While the illegals aren't slaves they ARE abnormally cheap labor. And in some ways that is even worse, as slaveholders had to provide housing and food and medical care to the slaves while the cheapskate company owners need do none of that. So slavery was limited by economics to a degree but illegal labor offers a virtually unlimited pool to draw from at below market rates.
This has made the whole Western World lazy and indolent and decadent. Nobody has to work anymore but instead lives off the dole with aliens to "do the work Americans Just Won't Do". But Americans just won't do those jobs because they don't have to, and even if they want to they won't do them for below-market rates.
Another aspect of this; the low cost of alien labor is the primary reason businesses want them, but after a few years in America these laborers will seek out something more for themselves. Especially if given amnesty. So they move on to jobs Americans Just WILL Do and take those jobs from a qualified citizen. But the need for cheap labor is still there and the companies are addicted to it as if it were Fentanyl or something. So they recruit more low-class aliens to come and take these jobs. It's a machine; as the aliens make good they move to better jobs and then more have to be brought in. More and more, as America becomes increasingly unlike herself but more like Latin America or some other place. It erodes our culture, our heritage, our way of life.
And cheap labor stifles innovation. Who is going to invest in perhaps expensive new tools when you have grunt labor to do it for you?
In the end the Wall Street Journal shows their true colors; they don't care about America but rather about a few rich guys making more money off of the average citizen. In the end we pay for all of this - through our tax dollars which go to pay for social services, schools, police and fire, etc. And we pay by having our voes watered down when illegals vote. And we lose representation in Congress since illegals are counted towards representation, even though they technically are not allowed to vote.
So the Wall Street Journal can go to Eh E Double Hockey Sticks.

Judge Rules New York May Maintain Sanctuary Policies
Timothy Birdnow
The judge's name is Ramon Reyes. Maybe we should check HIS immigration status!
The Supremacy Clause is the pertinent law here, and it trumps the state laws and even federal immigration laws. States cannot annul the laws of the Federal government and cannot refuse to cooperate with it.
This jerk needs to be slapped down HARD.
It's time for the U.S. Supreme Court to rule on sanctuary cities/states. They are a blatant violation of the Constitution and as such have no legal leg to stand on.

Vote Fraud in North Carolina
Timothy Birdnow
Another day, another batch of fraudulent voters.
But there are almost no illegal votes they tell us. Seems like an awful lot of people are being arrested for not voting illegally.

Omar in Bigger Trouble than Thought
Timothy BIrdnow
News Nation is reporting that investigators have been going through the trash of Ilhan Omar, the genteel, mannerly Somali woman who just happens to work in the House of Representatives.
This is the sort of thing the FBI does with Mafiosa.
News Nation tweeted:
NewsNation sources say the likely coming indictments will be stunning in nature and far beyond anything the public has understood the case to be about.
And THAT I believe. I am certain Omar is corrupt through and through and she figured her race and aggression would protect her, that nobody would look twice at her. It would have worked too had Trump not been re-elected; Harris certainly wouldn't have taken a second glance at her.
I suspect she's filthy with money from the Somali scams ongoing in Minnesota, and in fact I suspect she is one of the architects of that thievery.
At any rate this is a big deal and hopefully they found what they were seeking. This woman needs to go to jail - then be deported back to Somalia

Chuck Lorre; A Pilgrim's Journey
Timothy Birdnow
I always assumed Chuck Lorre, the television producer known for the Big Bang Theory and Two and a Half Men, was a liberal. He probably is, but he's a better man than I thought.
Speaking on Joe Rogan's show Lorre argued a society which abandons God will become a tyrrany and he is dead right about that.
Lorre says:
When civilizations or cultures took God out of the picture, they replaced it with a Communist party, with a fascist dictator,” Lorre said during his appearance on Tuesday’s episode of The Joe Rogan Experience.
"It’s the same idea: ‘Organize around me. It doesn’t matter if I’m right or not, organize around me.’ And people will,” the producer warned. "And if you take that away from them, they get angry.”
"It freaks them out,” Lorre added. "Because it’s like the tent pole. That tent pole moves, the tent comes down and everything, you know, if you believe that this is the truth and someone says, ‘No, it’s not. It’s bullshit,’ everything else you believe is in fair play. Everything.”
Good analogy. As Tevye says in Fiddler on the Roof "I pulled out a thread and where has it led"? Tevye was portrayed as a man who couldn't accept that things change, and it is true you DO have to adapt to change, but there are eternal things, unmovable truths. It is THAT which the Left has attacked and it is THAT which cannot be removed without disaster.
This tent pole theory applies to the Left because if you go after one of their core principles you can take the whole leftist stupidity down. They will fight to the bitter end to defend every and any aspect of it because if you pull one thread Liberalism unravels.
Lorre went on:
"The real solution — I’m going to say it and then regret it — but the real solution is a spiritual solution. You have to find something beyond this world,” he said.
Rogan then chimed in, asking, "Why would you regret saying that?” before inquiring with a laugh: "Because you live in L.A.? Because you’re in your bubble?”
The Young Sheldon producer responded by stating that he didn’t want to be associated with "new age bullshit.”
"But I don’t know any other way,” Lorre added. "And I do know that in my own life, seeking a spiritual illusion — not finding it, but the act of seeking it — there’s some salvation in that.”
Not sure if he's tried Christianity, probably not. Christ is the REAL solution; all others are imitators. And bad imitators at that.
I hope he finds his way to a Christian church and looks around until he finds the right one. Me, I'm all for his becoming a good Catholic, but a Protestant or Orthodox would be fine too (as long as he doesn't become one of the crazy liberal Protestants.) But I will pray he finds Christ and in that peace. He admits wealth and ownership of things is not the answer.
At any rate Lorre is in an unique position to be a force for great good in this world. Hopefully he'll find what he seeks and uses his influence to rescue a society that is bereft of the eternal things.

New York Jews Abandoning Democrats
Timothy Birdnow
The Democrats have lost a lot of the Jewish vote and the media Democrat complex is shocked, SHOCKED that Jews are abandoning people calling for a new pogram against Israel and Jewish people.
Democrats are polling at +13 when they used to poll at +49% according to New York's generic ballot poll.
That the Democrats are polling at plus 13 is disgraceful; how can they when Momdani has been ginning up hate against them? But libeals are liberals, no question.
Still, it is one more good sign for America. Maybe they will kick Kathy Hochul out of office.

Where is Omar?
Timothy Birdnow
Hide and seek with Democrats is becoming common in this election cycle.
James Talarico isn't the only Democrat who disappeared without a word.
Ilhan Omar has been invisible since the raid on her home, leading to rumors she has fled the country (we should be so lucky).
Her husband, a political consultant, blew his stack when asked about a possible flight by the genteel Ilhan.
Tim Mynett, Omar's husband of record (no relation this time) was caught by Fox Digital and asked about the whereabouts of his soft-spoken wife:
"You guys are annoying the hell out of all the neighbors around here, man,"
Which is, of course, no answer.
I wonder if Talarico and Omar went to the same place for their respective "vacations"? Maybe they had a little triste while they were at it?
So where is Omar? She really belongs in jail.

Flying the Friendly Skies
Timothy Birdnow
Meet George Jetson!
The crazy bugger actually went and built a flying car!
But I'll bet it won't fold up into a suitcase when he's done.
From the article:
usk showed off the car at an event outside Waco, Texas, with a demonstration that saw the car use a mixture of high-powered fans and thrusters to drive up an inverted ramp, spin around, and ease itself to a landing on the pavement below. The car also used the thrusters to lift itself over a Cybercab, Cybertruck, Tesla Semi, Model Y, and Model 3 while in motion.
"This will be the actual car that’s on the roads,” Musk said of the car, which Tesla showed accelerating 0 to 60 miles per hour in one second. "It literally is just going to puff itself up, and uh, and be able to do this, these maneuvers whenever you’d like.”
end
This will, of course, end in fiery death and mayhem if people can try to fly over traffic jams. They will be all taking to the skies and hitting each-other in the process. Flying cars are a terrible idea, if a fun one.
And it probably would require a pilot's license of some sort. Hovercraft, which barely hover above the ground more than a foot or two, require one. So too do autogyros now; they used to be exempt because they flew too low and slow but now there is a special license for them as well. I doubt you are going to be able to fly your car with out a special license.
So I suspect the government will require a special license.
It's still really cool though!

FBI Agents Fired for Spying on Republicans Sue
Timothy Birdnow
These scumbags are suing to get their jobs back! The Jews invented the word Chutzpah just for them.
They are using the Nazi defense; we were just following orders. Their legal argument is they were assigned the case rather than volunteered for it. But it was an illegal thing from the get-go and they should have refused to do it, and if they did it they should have done so under protest. They didn't seem very resistant to the idea at the time.
As this case is before the D.C. Circuit Court it will probably succeed and the Administration will have to appeal it repeatedly.
The suit complains that Kash Patel was caught partying with the U.S. Olympic Hockey team in a completely unrelated matter that should lead the court to dismiss the case as irrelegant as they are bringing irrelevant material into the filing, but it probably won't. They added that, I am sure, simply to taint the Director of the FBI, nothing more. (News flash! It is not illegal nor immoral to have some drinks with a few hockey players.)
This suit ought to be thrown out; the Director of the FBI has broad discretion when it comes to his employees, who serve at his pleasure. But they are arguing they fall under the protections of civil servants; that they are bureaucrats.
Anyway, given the Bureau is now accepting prostitutes and hookers who engaged in bestiality I would say the bloom is off the lilly for the Federal Bureau of Investigations these days. But abuse of power is ground for dismissal.
Reinstating people like this is simply unforgiveable.

Is Babylon About to Fall?
Timothy Birdnow
I pretty much agree with this. It may be a bit overblown but I think the article puts the danger of AI in perspective. Interestingly enough I agree with Bill Gates, although I wouldn't want HIM to be the person in control of restraining the technology.
We call it AI - artificial intelligence - but it is far from sentient, just a machine with capabilities of learning on it's own. What it is is a superior tool, and where there are tools there are bad people misusing them. A club was a great tool for hunting animals and providing food, but some schmuck decided it was a great weapon and stove in his neighbor's skull. Fire was Man's most useful tool but it was turned into terrible weapons of war. Now we have AI and it can be weaponized too.
It can also be used for criminality. And for the worst sort of criminality - politics.
I fear it's abuse in politics. A politician could run an interactive version of himself, answering questions and speaking personally to voters. Imagine it! The politician's image calling a voter by name, asking about his family members and talking about his interests (gleaned from a web search) and then asking for his support. It would be immensely powerful. The politician who could do THAT could own the world if he kept others out of the game.
It would have immense brainwashing capabilities.
It could even reproduce the voice of a loved one who passed away. How powerful would that be?
(The T.V. show Evil had an episode about that; a company that reproduced a loved one's voice to help the grieving widow/widower but the AI system doing it was evil and began encouraging people to kill themselves or do other bad things.)
This IS dangerous technology but I see no way of stopping it. It's like the industrial revolution; the Luddites tried to stop it because it was costing them jobs but there was just no way to stop it. The AI revolution is no different. We have to learn to live with it, to guide it in a proper direction, to put in safeguards. We need Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics for AI.(There were actually four in the end.) They read:
1.A robot may not injure a human being, or,
through inaction, allow a human being to come
to harm.
2.A robot must obey the orders given it by human
beings except where such orders would conflict
with the First Law.
3.A robot must protect its own existence so long
as such protection does not conflict with the
First or Second Laws.
0. The Zeroth Law of Robotics: A robot may not injure humanity, or, through inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.
These laws were not just software patches; they were built into the robot brains so that if a robot disobeyed them, even if accidentally, they would short out. There was a kill switch on a robot to stop it, because society realized robots had the potential to be very dangerous machines. In fact, it almost caused a war when the people of the planet Aurora learned the people of Solaria had been tampering with the three laws in their robots; all the societies that used robots feared them to a greater or lesser degree.
We should fear AI for similar reasons and should find ways to restrict them. Man must remain the master of his own technology and not it's servant.
Another television program about AI was Person of Interest. In it a reclusive billionaire named Harold Finch invents an AI and gives it to the government to stop terrorist attacks. It collects data from public cameras and predicts terrorism. It also predicts premeditated crimes and the government throws the list of those crimes away - so Finch hires an ex-CIA agent to hep him save those people. In the end the government has an ex-MI6 Agent to build a new machine and the first AI has to go, so a war breaks out between the machines using human agents. The original AI (known simply as The Machine) has safeguards built into it by Finch, the other (known as Samaritan) does not; it intends to build a "paradise" by manipulating and controlling human beings. The war ends with half of the main characters dead and the world in tatters. It was a good show.
There have, of course, been plenty of other fictional warnings about AI systems, starting with Frankenstein and proceeding through years. Even Frankenstein was not the first; there was the legend of the Golem, a monster created by a Kabaalist rabbi. There were others.
So it's not like we haven't had sufficient warning.
In the end playing God is dangerous and since we do not have the wisdom of God nor His complete knowledge we will make mistakes and with something as powerful as AI those mistakes could be very costly indeed. But this is a runaway train and getting off would be even more dangerous than staying on board and trying to control the locomotive.
Anyway, Bill Gates thinks AI is going to offer us a nasty surprise and he may be right. But he is most definitely not the guy we want in the Engine room.
One final thought; in the Book of Revelations about midway through there is the fall of Babylon, and it is mentioned how ship captains sit off-shore and watch the city burning and mourn because they got rich of it and now it was all gone. This suggests a great source of wealth will be lost and it occurs to me that if there WERE to be an AI attack on our financial system it could crash it and a great source of wealth could be lost. Wouldn't everyone who traded and made vast sums of money off the current banking and trading system stand from afar and mourn? This, by the way, is what leads to the rise of the Antichrist in the book. Might we be on the cusp of witnessing the fall of Babylon now? If Gates is right we just might be.

Shadow Figures of the Revolution
This from Vincent Thomas Ignatius
The Domestic enemies of America are many. They have been here for decades, going back to at least the 1920s when KGB handlers helped organize underground communist cells in America.
The goal was to infiltrate our institutions, such as education and the Media and, through continual subtle propaganda, try to convince as many Americans as possible to adopt Marxist and Socialist ideas.
Obviously, these ideas were packaged under different labels. Labels that at first sounded benign but grew 'progressively' worse as we became desensitized to them.
Tolerance
Acceptance
Civil Rights
Political Correctness
Colonialism
Multi culturalism
Economic Inequality
Critical Theory
Minority Rights
White Privilege
Toxic Masculinity
Islamophobia
Our domestic enemies had to work under the radar, or underground. They had to because at one time, the vast majority of Americans would absolutely reject these ideas if they truly understood who and what was behind them.
These shadow figures of the Revolution, freverently dedicated to their diabolical cause, continued to move FORWARD to produce HOPE AND CHANGE and called it PROGRESS.
Our Founding documents, written by the most brilliant political and philosophical minds in American and perhaps, world history, gave We The People the tools to keep tyranny in check. Among these tools was the belief that only a people of Judeo Christian faith could maintain the type of Free Constitutional Republic our Founders gave us.
It is, as they said, wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
Our domestic enemies knew and know this. Following the ideas of Antonio Gramsci, they targeted two main institutions....
The Church, and the nuclear family.
Everything or almost everything these children of the devil believe in and follow fall under targeting these two critical institutions.
Abortion
Divorce
Same sex marriage
Transgender ideology
Wide acceptance of Homosexuality (read, After The Ball)
The attacks on Christian flideas and faith
Embrace of depravity and immorality.
Erosion of Education.
This decades long onslaught served and serves to bypass the Constitutional firewall our Founders set up to protect us from tyranny.
Jefferson wrote thay when government abandons its limited role as protector of our unalienable rights, it is the duty of the People to cast off such government.
What the Founders didn't understand or realize is that tyranny does not only originate with government.
It also emerges, and more often does, from among the people. After all, what is government but citizens elected by their fellow citizens to serve and protect?
The same type of people who once worked in the shadows to fundamentally transform America into a Socialist and eventually, a communist State, are now openly in office, running for office and boldly proclaiming their disdain for America.
They do this because a critical number of people in America have a tyrant living in their hearts. From among us, tyranny has arrived.
Through the process of Subversion and open borders, we now have a population of mini tyrants with no love of America and no faith in the God of the Bible.
Slowly, their fellow mini tyrants are being elected to office and given prominent positions of influence.
This is not a case of a free people who were somehow fooled into electing our enemies to office. This is a case of a people who hate the US and the Cross, who knowingly vote for Socialism, Islamism, atheism and anything anti American.
What constitutional remedy is there for a population that grows tyrannical? After all, government is but a mirror of its people. It reflects what the zeitgeist of that nation is.
I don't have a solution. Well actually I do. It is a simple but extremely difficult solution.
It is the solution those who once lived under the beast of Communism offered....
Yuri Bezmenov
Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Igor Shafravich
A return to God.
Even those of us who say we are patriotic people of faith. Are we?
As we hold subscriptions it all manner of depravity, from HBO to Netflix. We pay them to pump sewage into our homes and minds of our children.
As we can't be bothered to go to Church. Hey, it's football season!
Tyranny succeeds not only through direct action, but through apathy, laziness, and tolerance.
