Judge Orders Florida give Spanish Ballots
Timothy Birdnow
A Federal Judge has ordered Florida to provide election ballots in Spanish.
According to Breitbart:
Why are federal courts involving themselves in state matters? The individual states establish the electoral schemes. And, as Warner Todd Houston makes clear, the state government was already working on this. There was no reason for a Federal judge to get involved. He did it anyway as "insurance" and to set a precedent.
Also, this is the United States. We speak English here. If these Puerto Ricans don't like it they are free to return home to vote. I am in favor of cutting the Island loose at any rate; we derive no benefit from our relationship with Puerto Rico, which does nothing but suckle upon the teat of Auntie Samantha and export good Democratic voters. We don't need them. Let's make the Puerto Ricans stand on their own feet for a change.
I hope everyone realizes that with these Puerto Ricans voting in Florida, along with the recent re-enfranchisement of felons, the Sunshine State is probably lost to the GOP, and that may well be the ballgame. Great move, Governor Scott!

According to Breitbart:
"Compliance with this Order is not optional,†wrote Chief Judge Mark Walker of the Northern District of Florida Gainesville Division, according to Fox News. "This Court will not hesitate to use every tool the law provides to enforce this Order.â€
The judge also re-affirmed that people born in Puerto Rico are U.S. citizens and English-only ballots violate the rights of those raised and educated in Spanish.
Walker ordered that all primary and general election ballots must also be printed in Spanish starting with the ballots in March of 2020.

If Climate Change is going to drown us, why are the Netherlands expanding?
Timothy Birdnow
The other day I was watching a rerun of Rick Steve's Europe, and he was visiting the Netherlands. Now Mr. Steves seems like a great guy, but I suspect he's a liberal, and he mentioned the "dangers" of global warming to the Dutch, even while discussing the fact that Holland has gained considerable territory. I was struck by the contradiction; if global warming is leading to catastrophic sea-level rise, why is Holland actually stealing land from the sea? Wouldn't the low countries be losing land as the sea rises?
Currently, 27% of the Netherlands is below sea level, and sixty percent of the population lives there. Some 6,800 square miles nearly half of the country, is land reclaimed from the sea.
And the Dutch keep adding land. In 1986 they opened a new Polder (land from sea) called the Flevoland. That was well into the "global warming" era. Wikipedia gives us a list of projects in the last few decades as the Netherlands moves ahead with land reclamation, despite the panic of sea level rise. Would they do this if they didn't think the projects would last? In fact, despite being a "progressive" nation of the first order the Netherlands appears to worry nary a wit about global warming raising sea levels.
I couldn't find any information, but I could find no evidence the Dutch were raising the height of their dikes, either. Wouldn't that be necessary if global warming was causing massive sea-level rise? I rather suspect they would work more on shoring up the ones they currently have taken from Neptune.
It's interesting; nobody is selling off sea-side property anywhere and in fact people are building more and more on coastal flood plains. Why is that, if climate change is going to flood all of this property? Strange.

Bill Nye's Incendiary Trousers
Timothy Birdnow
Bill Nye, the Science Li(ar) froths at the mouth over the failure of his pet apocalypse.
Bill Nye says it's time to grow up and realize the planet is on fire
From the article in CNN:
First, the man has a filthy mouth, and his mother should have washed it out with Lifebuoy a long time ago. Sad to think he had a show for children. Second, what in the world is this dope blabbering about? There has been no statistically significant planetary warming since 1995 and overall under one degree warming in the last century. On fire?
Also, somebody please explain to me how warming HURTS photosynthesis? Plants like both heat and carbon dioxide, and they grow better in warmer climates - that's why there are so many tropical rainforests but far fewer cold climate ones.
Furthermore, if Nye is a "science guy" than he ought to know that the Earth has had much more carbon dioxide in the past while at the same time not being any warmer, and we have had warmer periods - much warmer - and life has flourished during those eras. He would also know that Mars has an atmosphere that is 95% carbon dioxide and yet the planet is stuck in a permanent, bitterly cold ice age, with much of the atmosphere frozen.
Finally, he wants us to panic over a possible increase of a fraction of one molecule of carbon dioxide out of four in every ten thousand molecules of air. Most of the carbon dioxinde in the atmosphere is natural, and the fraction of that teeny, tiny amount we are responsible for is not capable of causing this catastrophe'. He should understand that simple fact.
He should also understand that these are all predictions based on models that are, shall we say, unidimensional, to put it kindly. They don't work, and when run in an attempt to reporoduce the current climate they fail miserably, so they aren''t worth anything. They are like the old Soviet economy; sounds great on paper but people still have to use leaves for toilet paper.
Nye continues with his rant:
So, we are to impose this draconian regulatory scheme to fix a problem that doesn't exist. And we all have to bear the brunt of his personal opinion.
Methinks the real fire is burniing in Mr. Nye's trousers.

From the article in CNN:
The well-known science commentator appeared on "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver" on Sunday and put things bluntly while talking about the Green New Deal, introduced by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Ed Markey.
Nye wants you to know, "The planet's on f***ing fire."
"By the end of this century, if emissions keep rising, the average temperature on Earth could go up another four to eight degrees," Nye said. "What I'm saying is the planet's on f***ing fire. There are a lot of things we could do to put it out -- are any of them free? No, of course not. Nothing's free, you idiots. Grow the f**k up. You're not children anymore. I didn't mind explaining photosynthesis to you when you were 12. But you're adults now, and this is an actually crisis, got it? Safety glasses off, motherf***ers."

Nye continues with his rant:
"When we release carbon, say, by burning coal or driving an SUV, all of us pay for that in the form of things like fires, floods and crop failures," he added. "Putting a fee on carbon creates incentives to emit less carbon, and, more importantly, it also incentivizes the development of low-carbon technology, which is huge, because that's vital to reducing emissions globally. And because for some reason, John, you're a 42-year-old man who needs his attention sustained by tricks, here's some f***ing Mentos and a bottle of Diet Coke. Happy now?"
So, we are to impose this draconian regulatory scheme to fix a problem that doesn't exist. And we all have to bear the brunt of his personal opinion.
Methinks the real fire is burniing in Mr. Nye's trousers.

Doris Day has Passed Away
Doris Day has passed away. What more is there to say?
She was the epitomy of wholesomeness and the older American virtues. There are none like her today.
She was the epitomy of wholesomeness and the older American virtues. There are none like her today.
Eternal rest grant unto her, oh Lord, and let the perpetual light shine upon her.
Dana Mathewson adds comments from William Katz's Urgent Agenda site:
"Let's fill that in. She actually reached stardom as a torch singer in the 1940s. Her recording of "Sentimental Journey," with the Les Brown orchestra, put her on the map, with so many GI's from World War II making that sentimental journey back home.Her looks forced Hollywood to notice. Despite her sultry, torch-song background, she was reinvented as America's sweetheart, pure in every way, leading to one of the most famous quips in the industry's history. When Oscar Levant, a leading phrase maker of the time, was asked whether he knew Doris Day, he replied, "I knew her before she was a virgin."
Hollywood fame worked together with a constant stream of song hits. "Que Sera Sera," which she sang in Alfred Hitchcock's "The Man Who Knew Too Much," became her theme, and an American standard. She starred in the film with Jimmy Stewart, with whom she had a natural chemistry.
She went on to star in a series of comedies with Rock Hudson. When it was revealed, years later, that Hudson was gay, she firmly stood by him in her classy way.
The young generation doesn't know her. Those of us of a certain age certainly do.
In addition to her public career, Doris Day was an animal-rights activist. She also, and this is important, was one of the few women in Hollywood who fought back after learning that her late husband had wrecked her finances. Her battle was epic, but she won a great deal back, and went on to live her life in dignity.

Ignoring Hate against orthodox Jews in NYC
Timothy Birdnow
There is a plague of assaults on Orthodox Jews in New York City, assaults primarily by Black or Hispanic men, and it is barely being reported. Gee; I wonder why?
From the Federalist:
In short, the authorities, steeped in Leftist narrative, don't want anything that distracts from the modern assertion by the Progressive Left that whites only are inherently racist and bigoted and that anyone in the victim class is somehow morally superior. They have been promoting this notion for a long time, this victimology. So when a hate crime is committed by a minority it is dismissed as a lesser charge, a dispute or whatnot. They simply will not allow the truth to be known, that minorities commit more hate crimes - or at least as many - than whites.
This isn't an isolated thing, either; I've seen the authorities and the media contort into pretzels to avoid concluding that a crime committed by a black against a white was not a hate crime. That's here in St. Louis, flyover country. It's a nation-wide disease.
Many Jewish people promoted this Progressive notion, too, thinking that protections for any minority protects them as well. I fear they are learning the hard way that this just isn't a correct assumption.
There is a plague of assaults on Orthodox Jews in New York City, assaults primarily by Black or Hispanic men, and it is barely being reported. Gee; I wonder why?
From the Federalist:
This is an all too familiar story in Brooklyn these days, and there is a reason it isn’t being treated as a crisis by our media or government. That reason is that many if not most of the assailants are black or Hispanic men. In an article in The New York Times last October that was careful to point out, although without much evidence, that people of all descriptions are committing acts of anti-Semitism, Ginia Bellafante writes (emphasis mine), "In fact, it is the varied backgrounds of people who commit hate crimes in the city that make combating and talking about anti-Semitism in New York much harder.â€
We should be clear about what this means. It means that if these assaults were being committed by white men in hoods or MAGA hats, it would not be "hard to talk about.†It would be a clear-cut case of bigotry that needs to be fought with every tool in our arsenal. Instead, journalists are wringing their hands about intersectionality, and careful not to indulge the narrative that these physical attacks are coming from blacks and Hispanics in bordering neighborhoods, even though that narrative is absolutely true.

The article makes a wonderful comment "It seems like the outrage ended when they couldn’t tie these hate crimes to Trump.†Yep.
North-Central States editor rings in with a personal comment here:
I grew up in Western New York State, in a small town that had probably more than the usual number of Jews for its size, due to the presence of a college (later to be renamed a university) of the New York State system. There was also a small concord grape winery owned by a couple of Jewish brothers who had been friends of my father in college. Dad would work there when the CIO (in the days before its merger with the AFL) would periodically declare a strike at Dad's plant (to generate a new contract to benefit the workers, of course, meanwhile putting them out of work for at least six weeks). During one of those times, the managing brother suggested to Dad that he might want to bring me up to show me the operation (I was about eleven years old at the time), and it gave me the chance to meet my first Orthodox Jew, a rather elderly, gentle man who was very popular with the other employees. Isadore "Izzy" Shaftsman was his name. The winery job kept our family alive during every strike. And from that time to this I will not allow anyone to denigrate the Jews in my presence.
Just a bit of family history.

Marriage and the Family; the Final Battleground

Sr. Lucia dos Santos, the visionary of Fatima, warned that the final battle between God and Satan would be over marriage and the Family
From the article:

Sr. Lucia dos Santos, the visionary of Fatima, warned that the final battle between God and Satan would be over marriage and the Family
From the article:
Rorate Caeli has released a translation of a remarkable interview, originally published in 2008, with Cardinal Carlo Caffara of Bologna. In it, he references correspondence he had with Sister Lucia, the principle visionary of Our Lady at Fatima:
Q. There is a prophecy by Sister Lucia dos Santos, of Fatima, which concerns "the final battle between the Lord and the kingdom of Satanâ€. The battlefield is the family. Life and the family. We know that you were given charge by John Paul II to plan and establish the Pontifical Institute for the Studies on Marriage and the Family.
Yes, I was. At the start of this work entrusted to me by the Servant of God John Paul II, I wrote to Sister Lucia of Fatima through her Bishop as I couldn’t do so directly. Unexplainably however, since I didn’t expect an answer, seeing that I had only asked for prayers, I received a very long letter with her signature – now in the Institute’s archives. In it we find written: the final battle between the Lord and the reign of Satan will be about marriage and the family. Don’t be afraid, she added, because anyone who operates for the sanctity of marriage and the family will always be contended and opposed in every way, because this is the decisive issue. And then she concluded: however, Our Lady has already crushed its head.

Jerusalem Temple Mount not site of King Solomon's Temple
Jack Kemp
See more discussion in this interesting related 23 min. Youtube video:
In recent years, there has been much talk by religious Christians and Jews concerning rebuilding the original King Solomon's Temple. And
there are a number of reports on Youtube (and in books) that claim the actual location of the King Solomon's Temple was in an area far from what people call The Temple Mount. The original Solomon's Temple was located at what is called the City of David in Jerusalem. This means Solomon's Temple could be rebuilt in an area that does not require the Muslim Dome of the Rock mosque to be destroyed for some incorrect - and inflammatory (read: World War-causing) - supposed Jewish requirement. Even the Western Wall, the current holiest sight in Judaism, is commonly known as a stone wall that retains the dirt that fills in and allows the Temple Mount area to be a flat ground area.
I - and many videographers and other tourists - have been inside the Dome of the Rock. There is a hilltop dome inside, where Abraham was ready to sacrifice Isaac. No descriptions of King Solomon's Temple talk of a huge rock outcropping being inside of it, with the rock not appearing in that part of the Old Testament. The Dome of the Rock, on the Temple Mount, appears to have been built on the ruins of a church placed on the Temple Mount which might have originally have been a large Roman fort. The Temple Mount also has no natural water spring near it, a requirement for cleansing at Solomon's Temple.
It makes the point that, with all the conquests and displacements of the Jews in Jerusalem, the original Temple site has been destroyed and the exact location was miscalculated centuries ago. But historical accounts point to a slightly different location, six hundred feet away and on lower ground in the City of David.

The farce has reached new heights
Dana Mathewson
I love Andrew McCarthy's articles. They so greatly clarify what's going on in Washington.
The entire title of this article is
Politics is front and center for Russiagate probe -- and the farce has reached new heights
The emphases are in the original.
Politics is front and center for the Russiagate probe, which has reached previously unknown heights of farce – and that’s saying something.
This week saw the spectacle of the House Judiciary Committee holding the attorney general of the United States in contempt for withholding Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s final report … notwithstanding that the report was actually provided to lawmakers.
Desperate to project the illusion of cover-up in the utter absence of cover-up, Democrats proceeded against the attorney general even though (a) Barr did not owe Congress a single comma in the report because federal law calls for it to be confidential (i.e., between the prosecutor investigating the case and his supervisor, the attorney general); (b) Barr nevertheless gave Congress about 95 percent of the report; (c) congressional Democrats did not avail themselves of the opportunity to read other unredacted portions to which he gave access; (d) all of the unsavory information about President Trump – i.e., the stuff in the report that Democrats truly care about – has been disclosed; and (e) Barr only withheld grand jury information which it would be illegal to disclose – meaning: Democrats put the AGto the untenable choice of violating the law or being held in contempt.
Oh, and about that grand jury secrecy rule … it is Congress’s own law. Democrats could easily get the information by just passing a two-line amendment to federal criminal procedure rule 6(e), so that grand jury material could henceforth be disclosed to Congress in special counsel investigations. With the Trump administration trying to show it is being transparent, the Senate would surely pass such a House amendment, and the president would sign it. But Democratic legislators are not taking any legislative action (you know, their job) because they don’t really want the information. They want the issue. They are straining to create the appearance of Watergate, even as Barr has turned over an Everest of information.
[...]The last warrant of four 90-day warrants would have lapsed in September 2017. But Mueller, who by then had been on the case for four months, opted not to go back to the FISA court to seek a new warrant. That suggests that investigators no longer stood behind the dossier and its sensational, uncorroborated claim that Trump was in cahoots with the Kremlin.
Of course, that raises a big question: Why did Mueller allow the "collusion†investigation to continue for well over a year after it seemed obvious that there was no case?
Much of the presidential misbehavior that prosecutors portray as possible obstruction happened after it appears they must have known Trump had not "colluded†with Russia. Why was there no interim report announcing that? Why did investigators continue to lead the country to believe that the president might be an agent?
Democrats turned up the noise and the heat on Attorney General Barr once he announced that he would investigate the origins of the Russiagate probe. Are they trying to destroy the messenger before he can deliver the message?
I would say yes, that's exactly what they are trying to do, because he is destroying their message. They still have not come to grips with the fact that Trump, not Hillary, is the president and is likely to still be president after the 2002 election.
The story is here: https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/andrew-mccarthy-politics-is-front-and-center-for-russiagate-probe-and-the-farce-has-reached-new-heights

Mueller Probe may have hired Steele, Fusion GPS
Timothy Birdnow
Did Robert Mueller hire Michael Steele and Fusion GPS to help him investigate the "Russian Collusion" fairy tale? Paul Sperry at Real Clear Investigations seems to think so.
Who DID Mueller hire? He spent over $732,000 on outside contractors. The American People paid for this - we have a right to know how our money was spent in this witchhunt.
It was the Steele "dossier" which started the probe of Donald Trump in the first place. If Steele and Fusion GPS (who were hired by Hillary Clinton to manufacture dirt on Trump) were part of the Mueller probe then we have a monumental conflict of interest and likely violation of the law. I think Sec. Barr will be very interested in this.
People need to go to jail over this probe. A LOT of them. And that includes Robert Mueller.

P.C. Piranhas devouring head of Lewis and Clark College
Timothy Birdnow
Yet more proof that Academia has become the home of fascism.
The Belleville News Democrat has the story
Lewis and Clark Community College is a metro-east college in the Illinois suburbs of st. Louis. The new chairman of the college is in big trouble for making such heinous and racist statements as ""Wondering why measles and smallpox are back? Perhaps millions of unvaccinated illegal alien kids in public schools.†and "Does it worry anybody that we have three devout Muslims in Congress who have unlimited access to our top secret government documents?†on Facebook. He's a monster, I tell you, a monster!
I don't know when it began de-rigueur to take what are essentially factual statements and declare them intolerable. So now we can't say illegal aliens carry some diseases - even while it is factually correct. And we can't say it's a bad idea giving sensitive information to Muslims who have openly expressed hostility toward our allies in Israel and elsewhere. Imagine, if you will, a German immigrant being elected to the House of Representatives in 1943, say, who railed against Britain. Would anyone have raised an eyebrow at questioning this man's loyalty?
The sad thing is this "scandal" may well bring down David Heyen, the poor schlub being steamrolled by the Progressive "woke" juggernaut.
If he had said Christians are the cause of the resurgence of measles and mumps he would have been o.k. And if he had said he thought we should be concerned about people like Jim Jordan and the Freedom Caucus rather than Muslims who have expressed sympathy for terrorist organizations he would have been lionized. What makes this so sad is that it is a grass-roots assault (although CAIR is a national organization and unindicted co-conspirator in a terrorist scandal). This neo-fascism is truly filtering down into the general public.
What kind of country are we going to have when this stuff comes to fruition?

The sad thing is this "scandal" may well bring down David Heyen, the poor schlub being steamrolled by the Progressive "woke" juggernaut.
If he had said Christians are the cause of the resurgence of measles and mumps he would have been o.k. And if he had said he thought we should be concerned about people like Jim Jordan and the Freedom Caucus rather than Muslims who have expressed sympathy for terrorist organizations he would have been lionized. What makes this so sad is that it is a grass-roots assault (although CAIR is a national organization and unindicted co-conspirator in a terrorist scandal). This neo-fascism is truly filtering down into the general public.
What kind of country are we going to have when this stuff comes to fruition?

The Twit and the Pendulum; declining Faith in democratic republicanism
Timothy Birdnow
Selwyn Duke takes a long hard look at the falling popularity of democracy and republicanism in an article at The New American.
Selwyn states:
A word from Tim:
You know, the difference between what we used to be and Latin America was always the Constitution. We had Rule of Law, and some things couldn't be overturned by elections. They didn't. Of course, we have now overturned the Rule of Law with judicial overreach and bureaucratic edict, and now we are starting to have the same problems as Latin America. Representative government becomes crony kleptocracy when law is malleable.
Also, the American experience was tempered by a strong Christian ethic which acted as a stabilizing influence. Latin America never was as religious as the U.S., partly because it retained many of it's pagan beliefs with a Catholic culture plastered over it, and also because of the way Latin America was settled; the Spaniards who came were there entirely to get rich, not to actually create a nation. The U.S. was different, a place for people looking to be free to worship God in their own way. We came to colonize, they came to get loot. There is a greater amorality in the Latin countries as a result. Where there is amorality there is instability. Everyone figures their views are what matter. In a more religious society the Will of God comes first.
Selwyn Duke takes a long hard look at the falling popularity of democracy and republicanism in an article at The New American.
Selwyn states:
Yet human virtue — which includes prudence (wisdom) — is in general quite lacking, which explains why good government is so elusive. Example: The short Bloomberg article previously cited contains the term swung/swing three times, as in "power has swung between ____________________†(two disparate entities). This brings to mind a profound passage from G.K. Chesterton’s 1911 book Alarms and Discursions:
The whole curse of the last century has been what is called the Swing of the Pendulum; that is, the idea that Man must go alternately from one extreme to the other. It is a shameful and even shocking fancy; it is the denial of the whole dignity of mankind. When Man is alive he stands still. It is only when he is dead that he swings. But whenever one meets modern thinkers (as one often does) progressing towards a madhouse, one always finds, on inquiry, that they have just had a splendid escape from another madhouse. Thus, hundreds of people become Socialists, not because they have tried Socialism and found it nice, but because they have tried Individualism and found it particularly nasty. Thus, many embrace Christian Science solely because they are quite sick of heathen science; they are so tired of believing that everything is matter that they will even take refuge in the revolting fable that everything is mind. Man ought to march somewhere. But modern man (in his sick reaction) is ready to march nowhere — so long as it is the Other End of Nowhere.
And so today we have the "swing voter,†who gives us Democrats one election and Republicans the next, economic-freedom proponents one year and socialists four years later. I’ve met people who voted for Ronald Reagan in 1984 because they "liked†him and then voted for quite antithetical Bill Clinton eight years later because they "liked†him.
It makes no sense, of course, except insofar as it accords with the phenomenon of human emotionalism. For good economic principles — limited regulation, low taxation, encouraging productivity, and the government basically staying out of the economy’s way — remain the same no matter the year. They remain the same, and valid, even if the economy happens to take a downturn while they’re in force, in just the same way that the principles of proper nutrition remain valid even if (for some reason) one suffers some health problems while adhering to them.

Push to End Religious Liberty in Missouri
Timothy Birdnow
The push is on to eliminate religious liberties in fvor of "sexual" liberties. This from Bev Ellen:
The Democratic Party has clearly laid out their intent to force Christians into subjugation to radical sexual deviancy. The Party's platform states, "We support a progressive vision of religious freedom that respects pluralism and rejects the misuse of religion to discriminate."
The "progressive vision" of religious liberty for Democrats was recently made visible by Chai Feldblum, the former commissioner of Obama administration's Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Feldblum clearly staked out the "progressive vision" of the Democratic Party when she said:
"I'm having a hard time coming up with any case in which religious liberty should win... Sexual liberty should win in most cases. There can be a conflict between religious liberty and sexual liberty, but in almost all cases the sexual liberty should win because that's the only way that the dignity of gay people can be affirmed in any realistic manner." (Emphasis added.)
Clearly what I experienced at the State Capitol at the Hearing on HB350 and HB208 which would add sexual orientation and gender identity to the Missouri Non-Discriminaton Act (MONA.)
If any person is following the trend, that person can clearly see where we are headed. The sad thing is the enemy of religious liberty is confident that most Christians in America aren't paying attention or have been convinced to stay away from politics

U.S. Chamber of Commerce Supporting Pro-Sodomy Bill
Timothy Birdnow
The misleadingly named Equality Act has passed the House and is going to the Senate. There is reason for worry.
According to Breakpoint USA:
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce practically owns the GOP, and that is the reason we don't have a border wall right now. Mitch McConnell is up to his eyeballs in Chamber money, and he's not about to buck them - especially here, where the fight is one of a spiritual Ronald McDonald, er, Mitch McConnell doesn't care a flying frigg about morality or religion.
The article continues:
As for their argument that support for LGBTQEIEIO is somehow pro-business, I'd like to a.see their evidence and b.ask them if the Black Death was good for doctors during the Middle Ages. Yes, it was, until their patients all died. That's rather what the declining moral climate is like; the death throes of a culture. Sure, there might be a few bucks to be made now, but it won't last. In the past the Chamber would have understood that, just as they would have understood that illegal aliens invading the country will ultimately cost them.
The misleadingly named Equality Act has passed the House and is going to the Senate. There is reason for worry.
According to Breakpoint USA:
This legislation would extend the federal level protections of Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act to include sexual orientation and gender identity.
Until recently, most of us believed there wasn’t much of a chance of the Equality Act ever becoming law. That’s because it was assumed that the GOP-majority Senate, which owes its electoral viability to the support of conservative Christians, would not allow it to happen. I hope that’s still the case, but there is reason to be concerned.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce recently announced its support for the Equality Act. This would be a game-changer because, historically, the Chamber has been a major supporter of the GOP. For instance, in the last elections it endorsed 191 Republicans and only 7 Democrats.
If the act is brought to a vote by the Senate, all that would be required is for a handful of Republicans to vote "Yes.†It appears that Senator Susan Collins of Maine could be one of the Act’s sponsors in the Senate. That’s one down, four to go. Thus, the Chamber’s endorsement could make the difference between defeat and passage.

The article continues:
- In their statement, the Chamber of Commerce claimed, "Embracing equality has a profoundly positive impact on business performance,†and that "LGBT-inclusive companies enjoy higher revenue margins, attract better talent, and have lower employee turnover.â€
- In reality, however, The Equality Act does far more than outlaw discrimination. In the way Title VII would be amended, anyone who dissents from the new sexual orthodoxy would be comparable to the racists whose oppression of African-Americans made the Civil Rights Act of 1964 necessary. In the way the Equality Act would rewrite federal law, discrimination against LGBT people wouldn’t only be anything that would impede access to public accommodations; it would be anything, anything, less than fully affirming their sense of self.
- Let me be clear: the Equality Act would do nothing less than reinvent our relationship to the larger society. If it passes, standing for traditional sexual morality would essentially be outlawed.
- But that’s not all. The Equality Act is not only bad for people of faith and anyone else who objects to the new sexual orthodoxy. It’s bad for women. So bad, in fact, radical feminists are now joining with conservative Christian women to fight it. Yes, you heard that right.
As for their argument that support for LGBTQEIEIO is somehow pro-business, I'd like to a.see their evidence and b.ask them if the Black Death was good for doctors during the Middle Ages.

Missouri barely avoids in-state tuition for illegals
Timothy Birdnow
Missouri Rep. Lynn Morris sent this comment out to constituents:
End excerpt.
At a time when America is being invaded and the nation is becoming increasingly angry at this massive influx of people against our will, the Democrats in Missouri along with RINO Republicans are trying to make it easier for invaders to come a "set a spell". This should never have even been proposed.
Missouri has been very good at keeping the illegals out of the state. We offer none of the goodies that so many of the other states do. But this shows that there are forces here laboring to break Missouri open. It's disgraceful.
I don't know what part of "illegal" these people don't grasp. It's like a seven eleven having a special till for people who come in to rob them.
Missouri Rep. Lynn Morris sent this comment out to constituents:
Thursday morning the Mo House took up the HB 3 budget bill for higher
education in which the House-Senate conference committee voted 6-3 to
allow that illegal citizens could attend a state university or college
at the same reduced rate as our legal Mo students. Two Senate
Republicans voted with four democrats to place this wording in the
budget bill. The House doesn’t agree and we voted 110-42 to take this
wording out. This was a straight party vote. It is important to note
that this is not against the large appropriation for higher education.
This is a vote to protect our legal citizens of this state.As I have
been honored to serve my district Christian County and SW Mo for the
past 7 years I am very confident that my vote is supported by the large
majority of the citizens Now we will wait to see what the Senate and
the members of the conference committee will do. Because of these
issues created by the Senate we will be working this Friday to make
sure that the balanced budget be truly voted and agreed on and sent to
the Governor by 6 pm tomorrow. I will keep everyone informed as I am
sure the House will hold their position concerning illegal citizens.

Tranny Inmate wants out of Illinois Prison
Timothy Birdnow
A transvestite who was granted permission to move from a male to a female prison is now asking for clemency from Illinois Governor J.B. "no neck" Pritzker because he says people are mean to him.
The Belleville News Democrat has the Associated Press story.
Strawberry Hampton, the tranny name for the prisoner, has apparently asked to be released from prison. He was serving ten years for burglary, and had an extra nine months tacked on to his sentence for bad behavior.
If you are a guy who likes to dress in woman's clothing you really should avoid criminal activity; criminals aren't noted for their "woke" attitudes, especially where sex and masculinity are concerned. And Mr. Hampton really should have tried to toe the line rather than make an issue of his mental disorder, demanding special treatment. I have little doubt he thought he could use that to get easier time. It didn't work out that way.
Prisons are not social clubs. You should expect to be unhappy in them, and you should expect not to have your fetishes indulged there. But modern America has become an enormous mental institution, where people with serious mental disorders have their insanity validated as "their reality". Sorry, but when you stop believing in reality it doesn't go away. If a man tapes his equipment down and sports a dress he's still a man. Just a very strange one.

The Purpose of Power...
William Been
Having read the book Witness, there is no difference between the behavior of the modern day Democrat and the communists described by Whittaker Chambers. A friend argued yesterday that the Dem behavior is about power. Power for what? I go back to the Obama statements involving transformation of America. Power for the revolution and without Trump, they would have had that power and may still attain it as they fight desperately to destroy Trump-not because they don’t like him but he seems to be the only man standing that can stop the totalitarian takeover of America. It could be Globalist. It could be communists. It could be Islamists. In the end, if successful, the dupes known as Democrats will lose such a power struggle. My opinion and my rant for this morning.
Tim replies:
I couldn't agree more, Bill. The apoplexy displayed by the Media and their Democratic stooges is entirely a function of their having had it all in their hands and then losing it. Trump blocked them from completing the Revolution. It really isn't about him as a person, or as a leader, or as a symbol even, but rather that he was the SOB who thwarted their triumph. Had Hillary won, as they expected, all would have been lost for us. They cannot, ever, forgive Trump for preventing their final victory.

It's the Economy, Stupid, so watch for a Fed Crash
Timothy Birdnow
Dana Mathewson and I were discussing the Republican electoral prospects and had an interesting discussion.
Dana observes:
"It's the economy, Stupid." Or so our wise people keep telling us. I keep hearing that the only people that follow the children are those inside the Beltway and on the coasts. I watch what Bill Katz (Urgent Agenda) tells us about
the Rasmussen Tracker. And I haven't lost hope yet. Of course, the election is centuries away, so to speak.
This from Tim:
That's why what is happening with the Fed is so important. Please note that Trump tried to appoint two good men to the Federal Reserve board and both were taken out. That is absolutely critical, if my reading on this is correct, because they would have stopped the board from crashing the economy with over-aggressive interest rate hikes and the like. I don't trust Jerome Powerll at all. I suspect he's biding his time so the economy will turn sour just before the election. Stephen Moore and Herman Cain would both have acted to stop the Keynsian currency manipulation that Powell will engage in over the next year and a half.

Follow the Rules - when Convenient
Warner Todd Houston makes the following observation:
Isn't it funny how Democrats are furious because the law says that the treasury department "shall" turn over tax records to Congress, yet they don't care at all that the Constitution says the government "shall" not infringe on our right to bear arms? How come "shall" is meaningful in one case, but not the other?

Rewriting History
Timothy Birdnow
Tammy the Bruce has an article at the Washington Times about the attempt by the Left to erase American history. It's a must read for today.
Read it here.
I wrote about this sort of thing back during the Obama era. The Muslims used it to erase the indigenous cultures they conquered, destroying memorials, and eliminating history, so they could impose their Sharia-compliant Arabic culture on their new subjects. See Canada Free Press for my article.
To quote myself:
This is the same reason Muhammad destroyed the statues in the Kaaba when he conquered Mecca. It is the same reason the Muslims painted over the frescoes in Hagia Sophia. It is why they smashed statues of the Buddha. A new culture must be imposed over the old or the conquest will not be complete. The Left is attempting to do that to America, to erase our old culture and impose a new, Progressive social justice culture.
You can only do that through iconoclasty. Tear down the heroes, the legends, the memorials. Create new ones. Instead of Washington and Jefferson you lionize M.L. King, Jesse Jackson, all of the modern heroes of the post Civil Rights movement. Instead of stories about the heroics of the Civil War you speak solely about the heroics of the feminists. Instead of statues of Robert E. Lee you tear them down and put up statues to Black Panther leaders. That is how you destroy a culture. Eventually the memories fade and the young grow up ignorant of their own heritage.
This must be stopped if we are to preserve any of the good things that were bequeathed to us by our ancestors. And if we are to avoid the mistakes of the past. Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it.

To quote myself:
This is nothing new; the Left has been aggressive toward anything that does not fit with their beliefs, and is in an endless war to fundamentally change our culture. New heroes are promoted, with the old ones being demonized. Men like Washington or Jefferson are systematically smeared, while people like Malcolm X or Che Guevara are venerated. Look at the way they lionized an L.A. cop turned cop killer. Look at how they lionized Mike Brown and demonized the officer forced to shoot him. Brown assaulted Officer Wilson because he was just coming from punching out and robbing a convenience store clerk.
Who a people hold as their heroes says much about who that people are, and their memorials work to reinforce the beliefs of that people. Islam attacks the monuments of the people they conquer because that is the only way to obliterate a competing culture. The same holds true of the America Left, which seeks to smite the "old white guy†culture and replace it with a kleptocratic, socialistic, post-Christian order.

Muslim Militia in Brooklyn
Timothy Birdnow
Imagine if a group of Christians did this!
From Conservative HQ:
Imagine if Christians drove around in faux cop cars in what were primarily Muslim or Jewish neighborhoods? The media would be going nuts.
The article continues: more...
Imagine if a group of Christians did this!
From Conservative HQ:
According to reporting by Caleb Maupin the Brooklyn-based "Muslim patrol†was founded by a Yemeni migrant and boasts at least 30 members. He says the Muslim Community Patrol’s (MCP) main aim is to be the "eyes and ears†of Brooklyn’s Muslim community. Formerly known as the Muslim Civilian Observation Patrol & Services (MCOPS, or Muslim COPS), MCP has been patrolling Brooklyn's streets since September 2016 and leaving behind traces of the Islamist agenda which guides its growing membership.
With uniforms and marked cars complete with sirens, the group could easily be mistaken for regular police – but they’re not. The patrolmen are unarmed and have no police powers. Instead, the group claims it radios to police if they encounter something that requires police action.
We are quite interested in exactly what kind of "eyes and ears†the Brooklyn Muslim community might need, because the "Muslim patrol†sounds suspiciously like the Mutaween or Islamic religious police of Saudi Arabia and Iran.
