Niccolò Machiavelli, Patron Saint of Justification ~ Especially America’s Government

I frequently refer to Machiavelli’s famous quote as the ultimate justification and excuse for many of the decisions made by our government. I have no tangible proof for my assertion, what I do have is anecdotal and circumstantial at best, yet correlating the evidence with Machiavelli’s statement requires little imagination, and only an elementary understanding, and comprehension of the vicious circle of administrative actions.

To quote Kackling Kamala – “… See it with your own eyes…”

Yes, this is a mantra used by every government on this planet needing to condone or defend their decisions or plans. Continue reading

DeWeese: The Real Way to End Poverty and It’s Not by Government

If one truly wants to help eliminate poverty, perhaps it’s time to rethink the process. To begin, one should ask this question – why are some nations (and individuals) wealthy and others are so poor?

The reason the United States has led the world in wealth, standard of living, and abundance is that every resident of the United States has had the ability and the opportunity to invest and produce their own capital and build personal wealth. Why is that possible? And why has most of the rest of the world failed, and continues to fail, at such an attempt? Continue reading

Illegal Immigration Is Expensive THAT Should be Obvious!

The Biden-Harris administration is handing out more hundreds of millions to bail out localities reeling from the crisis it created

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced on August 28 that it will hand out an additional $380 million to localities through its Shelters and Services Program (SSP). This program is intended to offset some of the political ramifications associated with high levels of illegal immigration by providing funding to localities that are “providing critical support such as food, shelter, clothing, acute medical care, and transportation” to inadmissible aliens recently released from DHS custody — despite federal laws that require most border-crossers’ continued detention pending the completion of their immigration proceedings.

Harris’s Attempted Sabotage of Immigration Law Enforcement

Her Legislative Efforts in Congress Reveal an Extreme Agenda

Washington, D.C. (September 6, 2024) – A new Center for Immigration Studies report examines the immigration legislation championed by Sen. Kamala Harris during her four years in the U.S. Senate. Her legislative record reveals an extreme agenda to cripple U.S. immigration law enforcement that would have gone beyond even the damage inflicted by the Biden-Harris administration. Though her bills did not pass, they may offer insight into what her presidential policies would look like. Continue reading

DHS Secretary Mayorkas Criticizes Texas’s Handling of the Border

AUSTIN, TEXAS – Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas criticized Texas’s attempts to stop illegal immigration while praising Vice President Kamala Harris’s role in addressing the “root causes” of the border crisis.

This is the first time that in my 20 to 22 years of government service that I have seen a state act in direct contravention of national interests,” Mayorkas said.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s office defends the state’s efforts to stop illegal immigration… (Continue to full article)

Why Does The Media Ignore That The Election Of Harris and Walz Will Bring America Under Communist Rule?

When Democrats create their candidates from spun yarn, nightmare candidates are created

Waltzing Kamala, Waltzing Kamala….

Why does the majority of media patently ignore the potential horror that the election of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz will bring America under communist rule?

Instead, the media continues to present the deadly Harris-Walz duo as living symbols of “JOY” and “HOPE”.

It should go without saying that “JOY” and “HOPE” never come with soul-killing communism, only death and destruction. Continue reading

Smith: September 11th 2001 and the Battle Between Civilizations – Islam Is Still America’s Enemy

To this day I still burn with rage as I recall the Islamic terrorist attack against America, with jets plowing into the Twin Trade Towers and setting in motion the horrific scene that followed. Many readers may not have even been born when the most heinous act in U.S. history unfolded on that fateful day of September 1st 2001, but for those of us who sat it in real time, whether on our television screens or the streets adjacent to the Towers, it was a scene that everyone who has ever loved America had seared into their mind and heart, as hot tears of grief and anger flowed down our faces.

I’ve never forgotten. Perhaps some of you have and no longer care, failing to understand that America and the West still must be on guard against the renewed and ongoing resurgence of Islamic aggression and the impending acts of terrorism that are certain to follow, especially now that thousands of known Islamic terrorists have entered our country by way of the Biden regime’s Open Borders Policy.

Who can ever forget wondering what had just happened, when they saw the first jet hit swoop low to tear into the North Tower at 8:46 am, as the sun shone bright through the clear blue sky and a marvelous September morning was turned into a living hell and 2,997 known poor souls were made to suffer terrible deaths. When the second airliner drilled into the South Tower seventeen minutes later, we all knew that America was under attack. Not long after, the third jet airliner hit the Pentagon, to be followed by a fourth hijacked jet being forced to crash by the passengers a few minutes past 10 am.

For those of us watching from home or our offices, the surroundings dropped into a tomb-like silence, as stunned viewers couldn’t believe their eyes. Continue reading

Smith: Ruminations on The Horror’s of History

As I see the ragheads ranting, raving and rioting everywhere we look across the country, nothing makes it any clearer to me that we have allowed the Barbarians to bust through the Gates, however they managed it and no matter which traitorous amerikkans were complicit.

But our nation is under the most incredibly dangerous attack in our lifetime, and the hell of it all is the fact that as serious as this is, it represents only one segment and one major component of the attack. Continue reading

“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself. ~ Leo Tolstoy

It’s more than inconvenient… it’s a reprehensible truth.

Estimates say that there are over 20 million invaders – illegal immigrants in America.

These invaders are the hordes of people that entered our country without proper documentation by circumventing the legal immigration process. The number cited above is an estimate since there was no possible way to catalogue or inventory the huge number of people the Obama-Biden-Harris (OBH) regime allowed – invited to crash our boarders.

Smith: Americans Have Paramount Decisions to Make!

The road to tyranny is paved with cowards, criminals and commie thugs, propagandists, fat-ass traitorous bureaucrats, and the immoral actions of the depraved, reprobate minds who worship materialism and the new world order brand of soul-sucking globalism and hold a monopoly on the mechanisms for the control of our “intelligence” agencies, information and media and our currency, which basically gives them control of everyone and everything.

I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating: America will not vote its way out of its current mess.

DeWeese: The Compassion Cartel Getting Rich on Poverty

Eradicating poverty is the most popular excuse for the expansion of government power. It’s a crisis! Someone must do something! How can a civilized people allow their fellow humans to go hungry?

The statistics on global poverty are staggering. According to the United Nations Millennium Project, there are currently 1.2 billion people living in poverty. Fifty thousand deaths per day occur worldwide as a result of poverty. Every year more than ten million children die of hunger and preventable diseases. More than half of the world’s population lives on less than $2 per day and 800 million people go to bed hungry every night. Continue reading

Our Shrinking Public-School System – …and there is GOOD reason for it!

Four years ago, as the school year started with remote learning in many districts around the country, particularly in Democratic-leaning cities, I reported a piece for ProPublica and this magazine looking at what Zoom school was really like for disadvantaged students. The piece focussed on Shemar, a seventh grader in Baltimore who had grown deeply isolated since schools had closed the previous March, and who only occasionally logged on to his online classes. “That homeschooling is not going to get it,” his grandmother said.

Shemar would not return to in-person schooling until the following year, the end of an almost-eighteen-month hiatus. His struggles to engage since then have been unsurprising, and have been shared by countless other students. I have written several more pieces for The New Yorker and ProPublica on the lingering consequences of the closures, including learning loss and chronic absenteeism. Continue reading

Dickens: Lies, Lies, Lies and MORE Lies!

“The further a society drifts from the truth the more it will hate those that speak it.” ~ George Orwell

Several of us suffered the ignominy and revulsion of the political rallies these past few weeks. I was particularly dumbfounded by the free-flowing falsehoods from the Nationalist American Socialist Party (NASP). You may know them as the Democrat Party, but there is nothing democratic about this new political blight on our republic. They have transformed this political party into agents for Karl Marx and everything he envisioned in his communist manifesto and treatises on social re-engineering.

I’ve long maintained that the NASP intends to pervert our republic to communism. Continue reading

The Continued INVASION of America… The Insanity Will NOT End

“Do joo wan tacos?” 

 

Presented With Rise in Border Crossings, Kamala Harris Chose a Long-Term Approach to the Problem
Biden, watching tens of thousands of migrants from Central America reach the U.S.-Mexico border just a few months into his administration, tapped his second-in-command to help address the influx — a decision that has exposed Vice President Kamala Harris to one of her biggest political liabilities.

In grappling with migration, Harris proceeded cautiously. She focused her time and prestige on boosting private investment in El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, the so-called Northern Triangle; her goal was to help create jobs to bolster economies and dissuade migrants from making the perilous journey to the United States.

It was a decidedly long-term — and limited — approach to a humanitarian crisis, and it has allowed Republicans to tie her to the broader fight over the border. While migration from the Northern Triangle ebbed, it surged from other nations, sparking an emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border, one that Republicans have aggressively sought to exploit at Harris’ expense… (Continue to full article)

Immigrants Becoming Citizens at Breakneck Speed as Election Approaches
3.3 million immigrants have become US citizens since Biden took office. The federal government is processing U.S. citizenship applications at its fastest pace in decades, with thousands of immigrants becoming newly minted citizens every week, possibly helping sway the result of November’s election.

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USIS) is taking an average of 4.9 months to process naturalization applications in the first nine months of the current fiscal year, a pace not seen since 2013 and 2014, according to a report from the New York Times.

The under five-month average processing time is a far cry from that pace set just three years ago, when it took roughly 11.5 months for authorities to process a naturalization application… (Continue to full article)

Majority of Americans Want Troops Sent to Border, Oppose Illegal Immigration
Polls are consistently showing two key indictments on the Biden-Harris administration border policy: Americans not only overwhelmingly oppose illegal immigration but also want troops sent to the southern border and the border secure.

Two new recent polls support this trend, although polls have consistently shown that Americans overwhelmingly disapprove of Vice President Kamala Harris’ job as “border czar.”

A new Napolitan News Service poll found that 84% of registered voters believe “illegal immigration is bad for the United States” compared to only 12% who say it is good… (Continue to full article)

US Increases Scrutiny Over Chinese Land Purchases Near Military Bases
States and federal governments are increasingly concerned over real estate purchases made by foreign nationals from adversarial countries.

The windswept town of Cheyenne, Wyoming, known for its cowboy culture, doesn’t seem like the kind of place anyone would need to worry about geopolitical espionage.

Yet, the Biden administration was concerned enough in May to make a rare move and issue an executive order shutting down MineOne Partners Ltd. and its affiliates. The firms are majority-owned by Chinese nationals.
The 12-acre site, purchased in 2022, is a mile away from Warren Air Force Base, home to the U.S. Minuteman III nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missiles.

If not for a public tip, the federal government would not have known about the crypto mine site, which uses computers to mine Bitcoins… (Continue to full article)

Illegal Immigrants Arrested on Military Base for Trespassing Walk Free After Posting Five-Figure Bail
Two Jordanian nationals in the country illegally and who were arrested for trespassing on a Marine Corps base in Virginia have been released from federal custody after posting bond, federal officials confirmed to Fox News Digital.

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official confirmed to Fox News Digital that Hasan Yousef Hamdan and Mohammad Khair Dabous were allowed to bond out by an immigration judge in June. The two men were arrested in May in Virginia. Both men are expected to appear in a Virginia federal court in September.

America’s Migrant Gang Invasion MAPPED
Nearly 100 illegal immigrants on the terror watch list have been released into the United States during the Biden administration, while Border Patrol agents have encountered migrants on the watch list from dozens of different countries, a new House report is revealing.

“Under the Biden-Harris Administration, of the more than 250 illegal aliens on the terrorist watchlist who were encountered by Border Patrol at the southwest border between fiscal years 2021 and 2023, DHS has released into American communities at least 99, with at least 34 others in DHS custody but not yet removed from the United States,” the report by Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee, a copy of which was first obtained by Fox News Digital, says.

The staff interim report also found that immigration judges granted bond to at least 27 migrants on the watchlist who entered illegally, and that Border Patrol has encountered tens of thousands of migrants from countries that could present national security risks – including 2,134 Afghan nationals, 33,347 Chinese nationals, 541 Iranian nationals, 520 Syrian nationals, and 3,104 Uzbek nationals

House Judiciary Report: Biden-Harris Admin Releasing Known, Suspected Terrorists Into US
Biden-Harris administration policies are resulting in Border Patrol agents releasing known or suspected terrorists (KSTs) into the U.S., a new congressional report states.

“The open-borders policies of Biden and border czar Vice President Kamala Harris have allowed millions of illegal aliens to enter the United States, including terrorist organizations and other bad actors looking to harm Americans,” creating a national security threat, the U.S. House Judiciary Committee and its Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement said in a new interim report

Of the more than 250 illegal aliens on the terrorist watchlist who were encountered by Border Patrol at the southwest border between fiscal years 2021 and 2023, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released nearly 100 of them, with at least 34 others in DHS custody but not yet removed from the United States… (Continue to full article)

Cochise County Sheriff on Biden, Harris and Congress: ‘Nobody’s listening’
Cochise County, Arizona, Sheriff Mark Dannels said he’s never been able to meet with President Joe Biden or his border czar, Vice President Kamala Harris, the entire time they’ve been in office.

“My community’s tired,” he said. “My community’s frustrated over the last three and a half years with what we’ve dealt with … when it comes to crime and the policies that have failed this country; the policies have failed our citizens, and the tragedies that my neighbors are addressing silently, because nobody’s listening.”

Over the last 31 months, his office booked 3,762 people in the county jail for border-related crimes… (Continue to full article)

Illegal immigration in Texas has Dropped Almost 90% since December
The number of illegal crossings into the United States through the Texas-Mexico border is down 87%, according to a local official.

Mike Banks, Special Advisor on Border Matters under Gov. Greg Abbott said that, as the number of encounters has slowed down, the federal government has opted to temporarily move agents out of Texas to other ports of entry in Arizona, California and New Mexico.

“We’re here to say, ‘don’t try it in Texas,’ We’re not going to accept illegal entries into the state of Texas. You’re going to come legally, or you’re not going to come.” – Mike Banks, Special Advisor on Border Matters (Continue to full article)

Washington Spends About $3 Billion a Year on Food Stamps for Noncitizens
Every year, the United States has allowed between 1.47 million to 1.86 million noncitizens to receive food stamps from the federal government at a taxpayer cost of almost $3 billion a year.

That is according to annual reports from the U.S. Department of Agriculture for its Supplement Nutritional Assistance Program.

Benson: Reuniting America? Forget it!

There was a time when America might have been mostly reunited. That time is gone. You will never come close to reuniting this country again. We have let in too many foreigners who refuse to assimilate and who want to remake America into their own image and will not be satisfied with anything less. And we’ve done that on purpose. No matter how much Trump or others try to make us all one people again it will not happen. Continue reading

Whitehead: The Political Matrix Sustains the Illusion of Freedom

“When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when, in short, a people become an audience, and their public business a vaudeville act, then a nation finds itself at risk; culture-death is a clear possibility.” ~ Neil Postman

What you smell is the stench of a dying republic – Our dying republic.

We are trapped in a political matrix intended to sustain the illusion that we are citizens of a constitutional republic.

In reality, we are caught somewhere between a kleptocracy (a government ruled by thieves) and a kakistocracy (a government run by unprincipled career politicians, corporations and thieves that panders to the worst vices in our nature and has little regard for the rights of American citizens).

Smith: Fight Back and Fight to Win

The U.S. government tries to tell us all that there is never any justification for Americans to resort to violence, simply because they don’t want us to get used to the idea, for fear we will actually one day rise up against them. But they don’t hold the lock on violence. This nation was birthed and born through violence, and while it may be something many are reluctant to consider, it must be fully considered, and all who wish to remain free and safe must be resolved to use violence when all other alternatives have been exhausted.

If ever there were new intolerable acts in our country to see and endure, we have experienced them under this regime, and we have no real recourse, since our objections are ignored and discarded, and the regime continues merrily along its lawless destructive anti-American path. Continue reading

Beaucoup Dien Cai Dau

“A nation can survive its’ fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.” ~ Cicero 106 BCE, 43 BCE
