“Freedom is a light for which many men have died in darkness” ~ author unknown, engraved on the side of the Tomb of the Unknown Revolutionary War Soldier

Our federal government and its institutions currently rest in the hands of anti-American communists and radicals, intent on destroying traditional America and transforming Her into something unrecognizable, foreign and vile, where U.S. citizens are no longer free to do anything other than obey. It’s a government that has been waging war against its citizens since day one, as it ruins America’s energy infrastructure and economy and destroys any semblance of border security, acting illegally every step of the way as if the Biden regime doesn’t have to abide by the will of the people.

But just where is the will of the American people? Why have they tolerated this miasmatic bullshit for so long, with so little outcry or outrage? They could take a lesson or two from the Irish it seems. Continue reading →

Power Shift ~ The Certainty of Corruption

We get what they give us…

There was a power shift in America. It began when the first colonizers landed; it continues today and will continue in perpetuity.

That is how power works.

It is boundless because the pursuit of power is an addiction – insatiable and unquenchable. Continue reading →

Jimmy Carter’s Last Moments With Rosalynn Carter ~ His Partner of Almost Eight Decades

In Memory of a Unique Lady and her Husband.

Former first lady Rosalynn Carter died Nov. 19 at 96 years old with husband, former President Jimmy Carter, who turned 99 last month, by her side at their home in Georgia, their son told The Washington Post.

The Carters celebrated their 77th wedding anniversary this summer, and by then had already been the longest-married presidential couple in United States history for some time. In the wake of Rosalynn Carter’s death, new details emerged this week about her final moments and the former president’s devotion throughout them. Continue reading →

The White House Goes Rogue: Secret Surveillance Program Breaks All the Laws

“We are rapidly entering the age of no privacy, where everyone is open to surveillance at all times; where there are no secrets from government.” ~ William O. Douglas, dissenting in Osborn v. United States (1966)

The government wants us to believe that we have nothing to fear from its mass spying programs as long as we’ve done nothing wrong.

Don’t believe it.

It doesn’t matter whether you obey every law. The government’s definition of a “bad” guy is extraordinarily broad, and it results in the warrantless surveillance of innocent, law-abiding Americans on a staggering scale. Continue reading →

Smith: America’s Fate Is In OUR Hands

If we are supposed to be the shepherds and owners of our government, we must reject entirely any push by these tyrants who manage to insert themselves into high offices to abrogate our inalienable God-given rights, such as those enumerated in The Bill of Rights.

Government, any government, can only exist and survive if ‘We the People” accept and allow it, under honest circumstances. But given what has arisen in our election system of late, we cannot go on and we must not go on, until such time, and only if, our election system is repaired to a point where honest and free elections can be guaranteed. That has most usually always been the case. Continue reading →

Holmquist: A Life Update From Annie

Checking out the cotton fields during a recent visit to the Deep South.

A little over a year ago I posted this article, saying goodbye to an organization — Intellectual Takeout — that was a major part of my life for 13 years. Numbers of you hopped on over to this Substack following my announcement; many others have come in the months since.

Those who know me best know that I am fond of keeping track of special dates and liable to pull up obscure happenings when their anniversaries roll around. So even though this is a bit of a sad anniversary for me — and a few weeks late — I’d still like to mark it by reflecting on how I grew, what I learned, and some of the unique and unexpected opportunities God gave me.

November 29, 2023: The Continued INVASION of America… The Insanity Will NOT End!

The Unending Surge of Migrants is Creating a Public Health Crisis

Migrants take part in a caravan towards the border with the United States in Tapachula, Chiapas State, Mexico, on October 30, 2023

As a physician, I tend to view the burgeoning migrant border crisis as much as a public health emergency as it is a national security emergency. The distinction is becoming more and more blurred, since the 2 million or more migrants who have crossed our southern border illegally over the past year — many supposedly seeking asylum — present both problems.

Don’t get me wrong: Many of the millions who have escaped Venezuela or Central America for economic and political reasons certainly have legitimate causes to leave their countries. But we don’t have the public health infrastructure here to absorb them all, not to mention the burdens on our local and state economies. At the same time, deadly fentanyl is pouring across our porous border, posing a huge medical risk of overdoses all across the country.

From a public health point of view, we are hardly prepared to handle such huge numbers of migrants, many of whom have chronic health issues or other acute problems… (Continue to full article)

Voters Want Control of the Border, but Do They Want Trump Immigrant Roundups and Detention Camps?

Even though Americans support immigration, they have been willing to accept tougher prescriptions for enforcement — and their willingness could test how far hard-liners can go in 2024 with anti-immigrant proposals.

Democrats, like Republicans, have been joining the drumbeat that there is a “crisis” at the border as the numbers of people the Border Patrol says it encounters hit record levels.

Amid all this, former President Donald Trump promises to expand on the hard-line immigration policies of his first term, setting off alarm bells among immigration advocates and even some Republican conservatives.

Meanwhile, leaders in blue cities that have long welcomed immigrants complain of stretched resources with the influx of newcomers shuttled from Texas and other states. Dividing lines are emerging as immigrants who have worked for years without legal status see newly arrived asylum-seekers from countries like Venezuela get work permits.

Any “show me your papers” policies or Operation Wetback-like roundups could easily ensnare Latino Americans… (Continue to full article)

States Are Spending Millions to Send Migrants Somewhere Else

States spent tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to ship migrants elsewhere this year.

What started as a GOP political stunt ahead of the midterms has led states and cities of both parties to spend significant resources to help migrants and asylum seekers reach other parts of the country.

The U.S. has a resettlement process for refugees that ensures they are placed in communities prepared to support them, but there is no such national coordination for migrants and asylum seekers.

Responding to historic levels of migration throughout the Americas has come with high costs across the board in the U.S.

Border Patrol Takes Drastic Action as Thousands of Immigrants Illegally Enter Tucson Daily

Arizona Border Patrol

Border Patrol leadership in the Tucson region of Arizona is calling for “all hands on deck” to respond to an “unprecedented surge” of illegal immigrants , the Washington Examiner has learned.

Federal law enforcement agents in southeastern Arizona sounded the alarm in conversations with the Washington Examiner on Monday, disclosing that agents have been pulled from manning the highway checkpoints, canceled all training classes, and even diverted from desk jobs, such as posting updates on the organization’s local social media, a sign of how strained the agency has become responding to thousands crossing in just one part of the southern border each day.

“As you are aware, Tucson Sector is experiencing an unprecedented surge of illegal entries in our [area of responsibility],” Tucson leadership wrote in an email to agents this afternoon, according to a copy obtained by the Washington Examiner on Monday. “[T]his morning we had more than 5,000 people in custody – far more than our holding capacity.”… (Continue to full article)

What If the Constitution No Longer Applied? Freedom’s Greatest Hour of Danger Is Now

“What if the rights and principles guaranteed in the Constitution have been so distorted in the past 200 years as to be unrecognizable by the Founders? What if the government was the reason we don’t have a Constitution anymore? What if freedom’s greatest hour of danger is now?” ~ Andrew P. Napolitano

We are approaching critical mass, the point at which all hell breaks loose.

The government is pushing us ever closer to a constitutional crisis.

What makes the outlook so much bleaker is the utter ignorance of the American people – and those who represent them – about their freedoms, history, and how the government is supposed to operate. Continue reading →

China’s Growing Espionage and Propaganda Threat in the U.S.

Congress warns America has little grasp at how deep the Communist Party’s influence has infiltrated communities across the nation

The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) presence on American soil has already revealed itself in the network of secret police stations in major cities and the ‘Little Red Classrooms’ in kindergartens.

The US has little grasp of how deep China’s network of espionage and influence operations runs through the nation, a dire warning from Congress has revealed.

Now, members of the bipartisan House China Select Committee have released a memo detailing how the U.S. has failed to combat Beijing’s infiltration – and it could get worse. Continue reading →

November 28, 2023: Billy Bob, China-Joe Buy Deng, Billy Gates and even a bit of Billy Gold

Chinese Migrants Crosses US Through South Border
A startling number of Chinese migrants are entering the US through the southern border. In the past year, over 24,000 Chinese citizens have been caught crossing into the US from Mexico, despite the distance and difficulty. That exceeds the previous 10 years, according to government data.

They fly through Turkey to Ecuador, which doesn’t require a visa. Like hundreds of thousands of other Central and South American and other migrants, they pay smugglers to guide them through the hazardous jungle between Colombia and Panama to the US. Many surrender to border agents and request asylum. Most succeed, inspiring more tries. Chinese asylum seekers outperform others in immigration court. China rarely accepts them back, so they stay anyhow. A little-discussed issue in the polarizing immigration debate is that US officials cannot force countries to take back their residents. Usually not a problem. However, 12 countries are uncooperative, with China being the worst.

An administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal data said 100,000 of the 1.3 million Americans with final deportation orders are Chinese… (Continue to full article)

Bill Gates Calls Planting Trees to Improve Climate Change “Nonsense”
Despite his vast contributions to tackling climate change in his lifetime, billionaire philanthropist, Bill Gates has come under public scrutiny recently, for his views on planting trees.

In a recent interview with David Gelles, at the New York Times Climate Forward Summit, Gates referred to tree planting as a “less proven” tactic — even going on to call it “complete nonsense”.

When Gelles posed the statement, “Some people would even say that if you just plant enough trees, it could take care of the climate issue altogether”, Gates responded:

“That’s complete nonsense [chuckling to himself]… I mean, are we the science people or are we the idiots?“

Since then, the internet has erupted with backlash, citing Bill’s intent to be somehow tied to 2,100 acres of potato farmland he purchased in North Dakota… (Continue to full article)

Biden Allocates Billions Abroad as American Families Struggle and Domestic Aid Shortfalls
A recent analysis of U.S. foreign aid and federal spending trends has sparked debate over the Biden administration’s prioritization of foreign assistance over domestic economic challenges from all parties. The data reveals a stark contrast between substantial foreign aid and the growing economic struggles faced by many Americans.

Historically, the U.S. has been a leading provider of foreign aid. Notably, aid to Israel, adjusted for inflation from 1951 to 2022, totaled $317.9 billion, making Israel the largest recipient of American foreign aid since World War II. Meanwhile, in fiscal year 2023, the U.S. government expenditure reached $6.13 trillion, resulting in a significant budget deficit.

Amidst these figures, the Biden administration’s newly proposed additional security assistance package, allocating over $60 billion to Ukraine, has come under scrutiny. This proposal emerges at a time when Americans are grappling with rising living costs, including escalating gas prices and food costs, amid stagnant wages.

The financial strain is compounded by the estimated $150.7 billion annual cost of illegal immigration, as reported by FAIR, a burden that indirectly falls on U.S. taxpayers… (Continue to full article)

Bill Gates’s Relationship with Convicted Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein Revolved Around a Global Health Investment Fund

Over time, Gates and JPMorgan established an investment fund that sought to profit from the development of vaccines and other health technologies. Epstein wanted a piece of the action, and Staley brought Epstein into the Gates partnership.

The Gates-JPMorgan partnership was called the Global Health Investment Fund (GHIF) and was created circa 2011. At the time, Staley managed the Epstein relationship for the bank, and Epstein was a valuable client who brought JPMorgan a lot of business. Epstein was an adviser to billionaires like Victoria’s Secret mogul Leslie Wexner and Wall Street legend Leon Black and the “family offices” which manage their fortunes. Wexner and Black deny any involvement in Epstein’s criminal activities.

The GHIF partnership brought in a host of other powerful investors, including The Pfizer Foundation, Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, as well as entities funded by the governments of Sweden, Canada, and Germany. There would also be private support from “qualified individuals and family offices.”

The GHIF’s purpose was to give “individual and institutional investors the opportunity to finance late-stage global health technologies that have the potential to save millions of lives in low-income countries.” The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency committed to help offset any potential GHIF losses… (Continue to full article)

Luther Vandross – Every Year, Every Christmas

Bill Gates says a 3-day work week where ‘machines can make all the food and stuff’ isn’t a bad idea
Technology may not replace humans, but it could make a 3-day work week possible — at least, that’s what Bill Gates thinks.

The billionaire joined Trevor Noah on his “What Now?” podcast in an episode that premiered on Tuesday. When Noah asked about the threat of artificial intelligence to jobs, Gates said there could one day be a time when humans “don’t have to work so hard.”

“If you eventually get a society where you only have to work three days a week, that’s probably OK,” Gates said.

There could exist a world where “machines can make all the food and the stuff,” and people don’t have to work a five day-plus work week to earn a living wage… (Continue to full article)

Gold prices are headed for all-time highs and could eventually hit $2,500
This Thanksgiving may call for a feast on gold as prices push towards all-time highs, according to Fundstrat’s Mark Newton.

In the past couple of weeks, gold futures have surged 3% and briefly breached a key psychological threshold of $2,000 per ounce on Tuesday.

In fact, Tuesday’s action marked the highest daily close of November, and any movement above $2,006.37 per ounce this week would make it the highest weekly close since the spring, the technical analyst said in a note Wednesday.

“This is quite positive technically, and I expect that gold has begun its push back to new all-time highs,” Newton wrote, adding that a move above $2,009.41 should lead to the $2,060-$2,080 range.

In follow-up comments to Business Insider via email, he said a breach of resistance at $2,080 would signal a “definite technical breakout,” which he expects to happen and quickly drive gold even higher… (Continue to full article)

November 22, 1963: The Death of JFK ~ One Final Chapter…

Director Rob Reiner claims he’s unearthed PROOF that JFK was killed by FOUR shooters not one – and says the reason the first shot missed president’s motorcade is KEY to the theory

Actor and film director Rob Reiner has claimed there were four shooters involved in the murder of President John F. Kennedy and insists the reason the first bullet missed is key to his theory.

Reiner claims there were more people involved in the fatal shooting of Kennedy who he names in his 10-episode podcast titled ‘Who Killed JFK?‘ recorded with journalist Soledad O’Brien.

Reiner developed a fascination with the murder of Kennedy ever since he heard the news in high school, aged 16. Continue reading →

JFK’s Parkland Doctors Come Forward: Oswald Didn’t Act Alone

In an exclusive clip from Paramount+ doc JFK: What the Doctors Saw, the doctors who treated JFK at Parkland Hospital say one of the bullets was an entrance wound

Since this year marks the 60th anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s assassination, a number of docu-specials are rolling out to revisit (and, in some cases, reexamine) that tragic day in Dallas, Texas. None of them seem more compelling than JFK: What the Doctors Saw, a documentary featuring previously unreleased footage — and the testimony of seven doctors who were there in the emergency room of Parkland Hospital trying to save the then-president’s life after he was shot as his motorcade passed through Dealey Plaza on Nov. 22, 1963.

Railroad Supervisor Sam Holland – Witness to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy

Samuel “Skinny” M. Holland worked for the Union Terminal Railroad as a Signal supervisor for railroad track and track signals. Mr. Holland watched the motorcade of President John F. Kennedy from the overpass in Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. He said when Kennedy was shot he saw a puff of gunsmoke under the branches of a tree on the grassy knoll. ”There was definitively a shot fired from behind that picket fence, and I can’t see how they could doubt that a 4th shot was fired I saw the smoke and heard the report from behind that fence..I was on the spot“….

Secret Service Agent Who Was With JFK on Day of His Assassination Breaks Silence With Claim That Blows Up the ‘Magic Bullet’ Theory and Suggests There WAS More Than One Shooter

A former Secret Service agent who was present at President John F. Kennedy’s assassination has come forward with a new claim that would debunk the ‘magic bullet’ theory and raises questions about whether there was a second shooter.

Paul Landis, 88, broke his silence on Saturday, nearly 60 years after Kennedy was shot dead in a motorcade passing through Dallas, to share his bombshell recollection with the New York Times.

Landis, who in 1963 was a young Secret Service agent assigned to protect First Lady Jaqueline Kennedy, said that in the chaos following the shooting, he picked up a nearly pristine bullet sitting on the top of the back seat of the open limousine. Continue reading →

Holmquist: The Amish Plan for Better Schools

Lessons from the Amish on how to bring education back to the heart of the family.

Imagine it’s a beautiful fall day. You’re whizzing down country roads, enjoying the vibrant colors of red and yellow maples, when suddenly, a bright-orange triangle catches your eye. Slamming on the brakes, you realize that an Amish buggy is just ahead, and you curiously crane your neck, hoping for a glimpse of the plainly clad individuals inside.

Alas, your vehicle’s slowed pace leaves you little more than a glimpse of them, and you speed on, glad you’re heading back to modernity and its conveniences rather than stuck behind a horse. Continue reading →

“Shekels With Shackles”: The United Nations Plan To Control Your Children’s Education

Most of you didn’t notice that the United Nations has plans for how your children are educated, did you? Well, you are not supposed to realize this and if your kids are still in public school you will probably never discover this. Even if your kids are in a private school or being homeschooled, the United Nations, the world’s foremost busybody organization, has a consuming interest in how you educate your children. The fact that it’s none of their darn business is beside the point. They plan on making it their business. Continue reading →

Non-Compos Mentis

The literal definition of this Latin phrase is Not sane or not in one’s right mind:

Classically, not having control of one’s mind.

It was first used in thirteenth-century English law to describe people afflicted by madness, the loss of memory, or the ability to reason.

My interpretation…

No Compass, Means Us…

I constantly wonder about the absurd and foundering America I see today. All reason and intelligence appear to be discarded, or we’ve intentionally abandoned using good sense and logic. We seem emotionally driven, guided more by feelings than intellect.

Did we utterly legislate or litigate reason into obscurity using “the end justifies the means” as our rationale? Continue reading →
