Colorado Supreme Court Rebels Against the American Republic

Colorado Supreme Court Rebels Against the American Republic

Paul Collier December 20, 2023 2

In an apparent signal to at least half the country that Rule of Law is dead to you, the Colorado Supreme Court unironically committed an insurrectionist act against the American republic by declaring Donald Trump cannot be on a Colorado Presidential ballot because he is, in fact, an insurrectionist.

The ruling shows that leftists live in Progmerica, which is no America at all, and when they call us insurrectionists, we who reject the cult of death, the party of hate, fear, and fake hope that has no respect for the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, or Individual Rights, they are right. We are insurrectionists in their nation, Progmerica, which is no America at all.

In our nation, America, which lives in our hearts, it is the DNC-CCP who are the insurrectionists, as this unjust, and treasonous ruling proves.

The next step for Republican-controlled states SHOULD BE to declare the DNC-CCP a terrorist organization, a seditious foreign power, and remove all Democrats from all government positions, but this writer is skeptical that will happen given the nature of the go-along-to-get-along party of appeasement.

ED.NOTE: It goes without saying that the “judges” who ruled in this insurrectionist manner should be arrested and charged with high crimes and misdemeanors, a capital offiense against the American republic, something that can and should be done by Republican states, It also goes without saying that violent armed responses to this unjust ruling by non-government actors is as unjust as the ruling itself is. It is up to Republican-led states to recognize the overt acts of sedition, insurrection, being perpetuated by the DNC-CCP.

Colorado’s top court rules Trump ineligible to run for presidency, removes him from state’s ballot – www.cbc.ca

Excerpt:

The Colorado Supreme Court declared former U.S. president Donald Trump ineligible for the presidency Tuesday under the U.S. Constitution’s insurrection clause, and removed him from the state’s presidential primary ballot.

The move set up a likely showdown in the country’s highest court to decide whether the front-runner for the GOP nomination can remain in the race. Trump’s attorneys had promised to appeal any disqualification immediately to the U.S. Supreme Court, which has the final say about constitutional matters.

The decision from a court whose justices were all appointed by Democratic governors marks the first time in history that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment has been used to disqualify a presidential candidate.

“A majority of the court holds that Trump is disqualified from holding the office of president under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment,” the court wrote in its 4-3 decision.

China Signals It Might Soon Divest Itself of U.S. Treasury Holdings

China Signals It Might Soon Divest Itself of U.S. Treasury Holdings

Paul Collier December 20, 2023 1

A top Chinese economist named Yu Yongding appears to be prepping the Chinese people and the world for a future move that will see the fascist state divest itself of all U.S. Treasury holdings. The economist wrote an editorial that would never have been published without CCP approval giving “economic” reasons why China should divest from U.S. Treasury holdings.

The move could be seen as a bargaining chip, and it might prove to be that, but it could also be a move to prepare the world for a near-future action, one that would most likely happen should the DNC-CCP not prevent Donald Trump from winning back the Presidency in 2024.

China urged to cut US Treasury holdings – www.thestandard.com.hk

Excerpt:

China must systematically decrease its holdings of US Treasuries due to low interest rates and the potential risks over America’s growing net debt overseas, a top mainland economist says.

Yu Yongding, a Chinese Academy of Social Sciences academician, said the ratio of US national debt to gross domestic product will persistently increase, signifying a continuous deterioration of the country’s overseas net debt over time.

The ongoing interest rate hikes by the US Federal Reserve may also accelerate the deterioration of the country’s overseas net debt, he added.

China, said Yu, must accelerate the adjustment of its overseas asset structure and enhance returns on overseas net assets. To achieve this, it should reduce the proportion of foreign exchange reserves in its overseas assets, he said.

Multi-National Task Force Looks to Tackle Houthi Threat in Red Sea

Multi-National Task Force Looks to Tackle Houthi Threat in Red Sea

Paul Collier December 19, 2023 4

A multinational task force led by the U.S. is set to confront the growing Houthi threat to world trade in the Red Sea. U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said of the formation of the task force, “This is an international challenge that demands collective action.”

From dailycaller.com

Excerpt:

The U.S. and allies on Monday announced a multinational task force aimed at undercutting attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea as the Houthi rebels put a vice on shipping through a critical waterway, the Pentagon said early Tuesday in Bahrain.

Operation Prosperity Guardian will involve a multitude of nations including the United Kingdom, Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Seychelles and Spain and build on an existing regional task force established to ensure maritime security, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said while on a tour of the Middle East. The Iran-backed Houthis, based in Yemen, have launched barrages of missile and drone attacks on commercial shipping in recent weeks, while U.S. warships scramble to come to their rescue.

“This is an international challenge that demands collective action,” Austin said in the statement.

UK Looks to Create Worldwide Gun-Control Body

Paul Collier December 19, 2023 4

The United Kingdom, who long ago deprived their citizens the right to bear arms, is looking to extend its authoritarianism over all the nations of the world, through the United Nations, calling on worldwide governance of “small arms” which, it alleges, should unite the nations of the world.

From gov.uk

(from the UK’s address to the UN):
… the diversion and misuse of small arms has an all too real human cost, claiming hundreds of thousands of lives every year.

It threatens security and sustainable development, and fuels conflict, crime, and terrorism. So let me make four points for this debate.

First, we must accelerate our collective work to reduce these threats in the coming year. At the Fourth Review Conference at the UN Programme of Action in June, we look forward to building on conclusions from the Biennial Meeting of States Parties in 2022.

… President, the effective control of small arms should unite us all. We look forward to working with other Member States to advance progress in this area.

Israel Kills Its Own Hostages

ISRAEL KILLS ITS OWN HOSTAGES – Three hostages that appear to have escaped captivity from Hamas met a tragic end when Israeli soldiers mistook the hostages for Hamas attackers and killed all three. The tragedy happened in Gaza city. Netanyahu called the incident one of the “burdens of war” and that it “broke (his) heart, broke the entire nation’s heart.” GO DEEPER

AMERICA’S SUICIDAL TENDENCIES REACH RECORD HIGHS – America’s Suicide Rate has hit an 80-year high, continuing a trend that began in the start of the 21st century, but which has been escalating the last few years. The suicide rate among the young has gone down recently, however, with the suicide rates of 10-to-14-year-olds going down 18 percent and 15-to-24-year-old going down 9 percent. GO DEEPER

DOJ FUNDING SEDITIONIST SOROS-BACKED DAS – The seditious District Attorneys that have been intentionally sowing the seeds of chaos and disintegration by not prosecuting real crime while aggressively prosecuting political dissent from the DNC-CCP have been not only funded by the quisling George Soros, they’ve also been funded by the Department of Justice.

This claim was made by Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, who is calling on the GOP-led House to investigate DJ’s funding of Soros-funded groups that select and train their DAs to destroy the American republic.

VENEZUELA CALLING OFF GUYANA INVASION? – Venezuela’s bellicose rhetoric towards Guyana may have finally reached reality as the nation announces a commitment between Guyana and itself to not use force to settle the dispute over the region called Esequibo, which was recently discovered to have oil reserves just offshore.

DISNEY DEFENDS ITSELF FROM HOSTILE TAKEOVER USING “DIVERSITY” SHIELD – The Walt Disney Company is facing a hostile takeover threat from within as its largest shareholders have now moved to demand they get two seats on the Disney Board of Directors. Nelzon Peltz and his Trian group, with the backing of former Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter, are hoping to fundamentally change Disney culture from within,

The current CEO, Bob Iger, represents their main opposition to that change. Disney responded to the threat by claiming it had a “diverse” board, as if being in a protected class (according to Disney’s anti-American, anti-human woketarian ideology) should protect you from the gross incompetence demonstrated by this board and CEO Bob Iger.

DNC-CCP SENATE AID FIRED AFTER SHOOTING GAY PORN IN SENATE HEARING ROOM – Highlighting the depravity of leftism, Aidan Maese-Czeropski, an aid to Senator Ben Cardin (D-MD), felt entitled enough to film himself having gay sex in a U.S. Senate Hearing Room, which he posted online. His rainbow privilege, however, did not protect him this time as the Democrats were forced to fire him for PR purposes.

SPANISH PM DENIES ATTEMPTING TO MEET WITH CATALAN SEPARATISTS – Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez has denied claims he was setting up a meeting with Catalan’s leading secessionist leader Cales Puigdemont, even as parliament wrestles to pass an amnesty bill for the separatists to meet the promises made by Sanchez in order to form a coalition government in the first place.

AZERBAIJAN, ARMENIA MOVE TOWARDS PEACE TREATY – According to Turkey, the tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan could be defused with a looming peace treaty that is in the works. The claim came from Turkey’s foreign minister Hakan Fidan, who stated, “We believe that today, more than ever, such an opportunity to reach a peace agreement has become much more real, and it should no longer be avoided. We welcome the positive progress towards reaching a permanent peace agreement and defining the borders between Azerbaijan and Armenia.”

U.S. POLITICS (M-F)

GOP WANTS NON-WHITE PARTY? – The GOP has selected a person of color who happens to be a registered Democrat to be their flag bearer in a race to fill the seat vacated by corrupt politician George Santos.

This follow on the heels of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) telling Americans the Republican Party is too white and needs more people of color in it. If this selection to check a “diversity” check box rather than select an actual Republican who will represent the alleged values of the party doesn’t convince you the GOP is a lost cause, nothing will.

TRUMP  ACCUSES IMMIGRANTS OF “POISONING USA’S BLOOD” – Donald Trump made a speech recently in which he claimed the flooding of illegal immigrants into our country is “poisoning the blood of our country.” He added, “They (immigrants) poison mental institutions and prisons all over the world. They are coming into our country from Africa, from Asia, all over the world.”

The context of the speech doesn’t do the former President any favors, as he used the phrase “poisoning our blood” more than once. While this writer does not believe Trump is an actual fascist, these remarks are disturbing nonetheless.

America is not a race, it is an idea, the idea being we mind our own business and have shared civic standards that allow us to share value with one another without having to like or approve of one another.

AFTER STRIKE ENDS, GM SACKS 1,300 WORKERS – After the negotiations came to an end and GM workers returned to work feeling victorious, 1,300 of those workers found a pink slip waiting for them after GM announced they would be laid off. The workers affected were from two Michigan auto factories.

HOUTHIS COULD SOON HURT WORLD TRADE – As attacks have continued, and even escalated, in the Red Sea against commercial vessel by Yemeni Houthi rebels, shipping companies are beginning to send their trade through different, longer routes to avoid the region altogether. This could see the rise in shipping costs and delays in shipping, which will affect the overall world markets in significant ways if the threat is not removed.

UNEXPLAINED DEATHS TAKING TOLL ON INSURANCE – U.S.  unexplained deaths continue to rise even after the plandemic has largely subsided, and life insurance companies are feeling the consequences. In 2021, Life insurers paid out a record number of claims, which has cut into its profits significantly.

Josh Stirling, founder of the Insurance Collaboration to Save Lives, said of the trend, “There’s no standard way to measure excess mortality. But if you use the data that seems most reliable it looks like, generally, we’re at 13.9 deaths per 100,000, which is up perhaps 7% from where it should have been. Is that catastrophic? Maybe not, but it should be lower.”

UNITED METHODISTS SPLIT OVER RAINBOW “CHRISTIANITY” – As the official policy of the United Methodist Church continues to lean away from the gospel and into Rainbow Xianity (which is no Christianity at all), a “Christianity” that affirms the sin of homosexuality, more and more churches are leaving the organization, with over 25 percent of churches, so far, leaving the church as it embraces the rainbow cult.

‘“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. If I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person shall die for his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul. ‘ Ezekiel 3:17-19

Israel Kills Its Own Hostages

Israel Kills Its Own Hostages

Paul Collier December 18, 2023 6

Three hostages that appear to have escaped captivity from Hamas met a tragic end when Israeli soldiers mistook the hostages for Hamas attackers and killed all three. The tragedy happened in Gaza city. Netanyahu called the incident one of the “burdens of war” and that it “broke (his) heart, broke the entire nation’s heart.”

Hamas has said it will not be releasing any more hostages until Israel stops attacking Hamas altogether after the incident. Israeli military officials said the soldiers who killed the hostages were not following the correct protocol.

From Israel’s own account, it appears the hostages approached the Israeli soldiers with their arms up, raising a white flag, but that didn’t stop one soldier from yelling “terrorists,” so everyone opened fire, killing two and injuring one.

The injured soldier fled for shelter and continued to try to plead with the soldiers to help them, only to be eventually killed as well.

Protests have picked up momentum from Israelis who see this action as yet another example of gross incompetence, deadly gross incompetence from the IDF, with Netanyahu receiving the brunt of the blame for that perceived incompetence.

The incident also raises more doubts as to how many Israeli citizens were killed by Hamas as opposed by their own military, which does not in any way exonerate Hamas from intentionally targeting civilians, including infants, for slaughter and rape as a terroristic weapon of war.

America’s Suicidal Tendencies Reach Record Highs

America’s Suicidal Tendencies Reach Record Highs

Paul Collier December 18, 2023 2

America’s Suicide Rate has hit an 80-year high, continuing a trend that began in the start of the 21st century, but which has been escalating the last few years. The suicide rate among the young has gone down recently, however, with the suicide rates of 10-to-14-year-olds going down 18 percent and 15-to-24-year-old going down 9 percent.

Males continue to lead suicides in terms of rates and pure numbers, with males over the age of 75 having the highest suicide rate, especially American Indians. While whites have higher suicide rates than blacks and Hispanics, these minority groups are getting closer to whites.

Among whites, it is men, specifically older men that have the highest suicide rates, while among minorities it is the young that have the higher suicide rates.

From usnews.com:

The suicide rate among Black people increased by 19.2% between 2018 and 2021, from 7.3 to 8.7 per 100,000, and it climbed most quickly among Black people ages 10 to 24, at 36.6%.

That suicides are occurring at progressively younger ages in nonwhite people is troubling, Joe said.

“We tend to lose older generations of whites when it comes to suicide,” he said. “But among people of color, it’s always the young, not out of the fourth, third or even approaching the fifth decade of life.”

Suicide rates rose 5% overall in people ages 25 to 44, and by even more among Black, Hispanic, multiracial and Alaska Native people.

As the progmerican state and corporate coalition continue to exact psychological terrorism on all major groups in America, this writer expects those figures to continue to rise, and the decrease in suicides among the young (only very recently) to reverse itself. This, my friends, is probably not an accident.

TOP STORIES

JOHNSON-LED HOUSE APPROVES SECTION 702 RENEWAL – Not only did the Mike Johnson-led GOP House approve the renewal of the controversial section 2 of the FISA Act, but they added to its powers. The renewal is part of the overall National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The compromise bill has already been approved by both the House and Senate, meaning only Biden’s signature prevents Section 702 from being renewed, with powers expanded.

IBM WANTS RACISTS TO RUN THEIR COMPANY – A video released by the O’Keefe Media Group catches the IBM CEO, Arvind Krishna, red-handed in a blatant act of race discrimination under the name of DEI. The video shows the racist CEO explaining to his underlings that failure to hire people in the designated protected classes, non-whites (which does NOT include Asians), non-heteronormatives, non cis-gender aligned people, will affect your bottom line.

The racist CEO said, “So we take underrepresented and gender. You got to move both forward by a percentage, that leads to a plus on your bonus… and by the way if you lose, you lose part of your bonus… “Asians are not an underrepresented minority in tech in America. However, others are. Ditto on gender diversity. I’m not going to finesse this, for blacks we should try to get towards 13 percent.”

BOSTON MAYOR HOLD NO-WHITES-ALLOWED CHRISTMAS PARTY – In the name of “anti-racism, Boston’s racist Mayor, Michelle Wu (D) accidently let white members of her administration know there was a Christmas Party that she was holding on government property, in open violation of numerous state and federal lies, for everyone but the whites.

Her response seemed to justify the overt racism by saying it’s not something new, so it’s ok. She stated “I’ve been a part of a group that gathers, representing elected officials of color across all different levels of government in Massachusetts. A group that has been in place for more than a decade, and the opportunity to create a space for people to celebrate and rotate who hosts.”

EUROPE-WIDE HAMAS TERROR PLOT THWARTED – Hamas attempted to orchestrate a Europe-wide terror assault that was broken up by authorities from Germany, the Netherlands, and Denmark. According to Germany’s Federal Prosecutor, “One of the men, acting under orders from Hamas leaders in Lebanon, had in the spring begun searching for a cache of weapons the organization had clandestinely assembled in the past.”

NANOTECHNOLOGY PREPARES FOR ITS NEXT REVOLUTION – Researchers from Rice University are working on two new nanotechnology innovations that could create breakthroughs in optoelectronics, pharmaceuticals, biomedicine, communication, and quantum computing engineering. The two new innovations both involve the creation of wafer-scale synthetic chiral carbon nanotube (CNT) assemblies.

PANAMA CANAL DRYING UP, AFFECTING WORLD SHIPPING – As the Panama Canal continues to dry up, more and more ships too heavy to go through due to the lower water levels are being forced to add 32 more days and 10,000 more nautical miles to deliver their cargos to America or from America. The current situation has already caused shipping costs to increase, and that trend looks to continue until the current drought ends.

DISNEY’S WOKE EMPIRE UNDER THREAT FROM WITHIN – The Walt Disney Company’s commitment to continue to convert their family entertainment brand to far left activist agitprop has created economic disasters that provide opportunities for people from within the company to take the whole woke empire down. That resistance is coming in the form of the largest single holders of Disney stock, Trian Fund Management, held by Nelson Peltz.

That group is now demanding board seats, including one for Peltz, in what is seen as a clear takeover attempt by Pelz and other major shareholders. Trian’s official statement revealed, “As Disney’s largest active shareholder, we can no longer sit idly by as the incumbent directors and their hand-picked replacements stand in the way of necessary change… Disney is one of the most iconic companies in the world, with unrivaled scale, unparalleled customer loyalty, irreplaceable intellectual property, and enviable commercial flywheel. However, Disney has woefully underperformed its peers and its potential.”

FIRST ROUND OF TALKS OVER ESSEQUIBO BETWEEN GUYANA AND VENEZUELA HAPPENS – No real breakthrough was made in the first meeting between Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and Guyanese President Irfaan Ali.

“I am pleased that the community of Latin American and Caribbean states and Caricom have managed to take this step, and we will make the most of it so that our Latin America and the Caribbean remains a zone of peace,” Maduro said. Meanwhile Ali left the meeting still insisting the dispute should be resolved by the International Court of Justice in the Netherlands.

HOUTHIS CONTINUE ASSAULT ON MERCHANT SHIPS IN RED SEA – Efforts by Houthis to shut down trade going through the Red Sea continues with another missile strike from the Houthis targeting a merchant ship. This time the missile failed to hit its mark, according to the U.S, Department of Defense. An official stated, “A missile fired from territory controlled by the Houthis in Yemen missed a container ship traveling through the crucial Bab al-Mandeb Strait on Thursday.”

WOKE MILITARY GETS FULL FUNDING – Congress has sent a House-Senate compromise bill authorizing spending for the next fiscal year’s defense budget. In the “compromise” Republicans were successfully in getting no concessions to roll back the anti-American, anti-human ideology of Woketarianism that is being injected into our military, crippling both its effectiveness and its loyalty to constitutional American values.

TRUMP TAKES 10-POINT LEAD IN RASMUSSEN POLL – For the first time this Presidential election season, Rasmussen has given Donald Trump a 48-38 lead over Joe Biden in a head-to-head matchup. In a multi-candidate race, Trump beats Biden 40-32.

DOJ PUSHED LOCAL COPS TO STALK AMERICANS THAT CHALLENGED WOKE SCHOOL BOARDS – The Department of Justice pressured local police departments to harass and threaten Americans who dared show up at a school board meeting and challenge the ideology of the rainbow cult. The DOJ was exposed through a memo recently uncovered from October 20, 2021 through a FOIA request by the watchdog group Protect the Public’s Trust. Garland himself is the one behind the memo.

“[They] sent the memo to all the US Attorney’s offices across the country and ordered them to—it does say on the memo that its guidance on implementing the Attorney General’s memorandum—but there are required actions that…they are required to convene a meeting within the next few weeks,” said Michael Chamberlin, Director of Protecting the Public’s Trust.

MISSOURI LEGISLATURE PONDERS ANTI-CBDC BILLS – The Missouri legislature has two bills, one in the House and one in the Senate, that aim to protect Missouri citizens from the tyranny of Central Bank Digital Currencies.

MOVE OVER SEMICONDUCTORS, ORBITRONICS WILL SOON REPLACE YOU – A new generation of electric storage could see the end of traditional semiconductor memory storage and the beginning of a new era of digital storage from “spintronics.” Assistant Professor Hiroki Hayashi from Keio University and colleagues published the results of an experiment that shows you can create orbitronic-based memory storage, which would multiply the amount of storage in physical space by 10 times or more.

MICE BRAINS MAPPED PRECISELY – Scientists from Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have created a perfect “atlas” of mouse brain, which could theoretically give geneticists more precise details on cells, their functions, and their particular locations. The research is hoped to lead to human brain discoveries that could lead to more effective treatment of a multitude of brain-related disorders.

‘“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. If I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person shall die for his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul. ‘ Ezekiel 3:17-19

TOP STORIES

HOUSE VOTES TO GO FORWARD WITH IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY – The U.S. House voted to begin the impeachment inquiry of Joe Biden with a partisan vote of 221-212. The vote means the official impeachment inquiry will begin, which will be followed up by a final vote on impeachment. A majority vote in favor of impeachment will move the proceeding over to the Senate where it is expected the Senate will not convict the Mass Mailer President, but Biden, like Trump, will have an impeachment on his record.

POST-EUTHANASIA CANADA SEES LIFE EXPECTANCY DROP…. AGAIN – After Canada voted to allow doctors to murder patients struggling with emotional problems, the life expectancy rate of Canada has dropped for the third year in a row. In 2019, life expectancy was 82.3 years. That figure is now down to 81.3 years, meaning a whole year of life, on average, was lost thanks, in large part to legalizing “assisted suicide,” which is an Orwellian term meaning “euthanasia.”

THE REAL INFLATION RATE IS MUCH WORSE THAN THE MSM TELLS YOU – CNBC’s Rick Santelli exposed the deception behind the latest inflation numbers, which the White House is citing as proof inflation is cooling off. Santelli looked at Raw Consumer Price Index, which shows that rate is currently at 307.05, which is down from the September rate of 307.78, a level not seen in over 100 years.

The difference between September and now is negligible, at best, meaning we are still at historic highs for the real inflation rate. It is compounded with the seasonally adjusted raw data set, which shows the number at an “all time high,” at 312.25 according to Santelli.

ISRAEL READY TO FIGHT ALONE TO DESTROY HAMAS, REJECTS TWO-STATE “SOLUTION” – The Israeli ambassador to the UK. Tzipi Hotovely, told the international community that Israel is committed to fight on alone should nations stop supporting their efforts. She also added that Israel would NOT accept a two-state solution after the war is over.

GAY IS A PLAGIARIST TOO – Harvard President Dr. Claudine Gray refused to condemn unconditionally calls for genocide against the Jews in Israel even as she has supported condemning speech that dares challenge homosexual legitimacy, abortion, or critical race theory. Now we can add another title to her besides racist and neo-Nazi, we can also call her a plagiarist, as was exposed by conservative activist Christopher Rufo, who revealed she had used other peoples’ uncited work as her own to get her doctorate.

TRENDING (M-F)

PRO-HAMAS TERRORISTS SHUT DOWN FREEWAY, TRAP KIDS IN SCHOOL BUSES – Pro-Hamas terrorists decided to shut down the 110 freeway outside Los Angeles in a move that seems to be aimed at scaring people to support Hamas if they want to function in their daily lives.

The 110 freeway was shut down when terrorists occupied the road, causing terror to children who were trapped in school buses until the terrorists were finally removed by the drivers who had enough of their assaults on American’s liberties. The violent action has yet to produce arrests.

FEDEX DRIVERS WARNED THEY MIGHT BE ROBBED – FedEx might play the woke game and side with leftists on an almost-predictable basis, but they’re not doing their leftist allies much good with a recent warning they issued to their drivers, saying “This Peak season is showing an increase in unlawful activity, putting increasing concern on safety and security.”

WORLD (M-F)

MADURO PAUSES ON GUYANA INVASION THREAT TO TALK TO EXXON MOBILE – Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has paused his threat to invade Guyana over the disputed Essequibo Region while he seeks to engage in talks with Guyana’s President Mohamed Irfaan and Exxon Mobile, hoping for a deal that cuts Venezuela into the profits from the sale of oil being extracted from the region by Exxon mobile.

U.S. INTEL CLAIMS RUSSIA HAS LOST 87 PERCENT OF GROUND TROOPS IN UKRAINE WAR – The U.S. Intelligence Agency submitted a report to congress that alleges Russians have lost 315,000 to 360,000 troops that have fought in Ukraine so far, in addition to 2,200 of 3,500 tanks, and 4,400 of 13,600 infantry fighting vehicles. The totals amount to 87 percent of the forces that have fought in Ukraine so far.

U.S. POLITICS (M-F)

SENATE GIVES MILITARY PAY RAISE; KEEPS WOKE DEFENSE IN PLACE – The U.S. Senate has passed a defense authorization bill, 87-13, that fails to rein in the woke cancer programs injected into the military by the seditious prog-state administration for the purpose of demoralizing America’s defenses against the world.

Not only did they keep the seditious, anti-American programs in place, they are giving soldiers an historic raise, one hardly worth giving if the military is being trained to hate more than half the citizens, as well as the ideals of the nation they are allegedly paid to protect.

PRO-LIFE GROUPS FIGHT BACK AGAINST NY LAW FORCING THEM TO ACCEPT ABORTIONISTS AS MEMBERS – The Fascist state of New York passed a state law, SB 660, that seeks to violate Americans’ rights to free association by forcing non-profit groups to accept members that are not aligned with the groups’ core beliefs and purpose, including forcing Christian Pro-Life groups to accept non-Christian, unborn-child-murder advocates into their fold.

Alliance for Defense of Freedom (ADF) is defending multiple groups against the far left, anti-American law. ADF Senior Counsel Caleb Dalton said of the case going forward (which he will be arguing) “Religious employers must be able to continue to hire like-minded individuals who share their core beliefs, and no government can force faith-based organizations to contradict those convictions. We are asking the 2nd Circuit to uphold the constitutionally protected freedoms of our clients as they fulfill their critical service to the community.”

FINANCE (M & TH)

FED KEEPS RATES IN PLACE AS IT PROMISES RATE CUTS IN 2024 – The Federal Reserve announced it will not be changing its key interest rate right now, though it promises 3 rate cutes for 2024 as it alleges inflation and the economy is finally cooling off.

DISNEY MOVIES FAILING HASBRO, WHO LAYS OFF 1100 WORKERS IN RESPONSE – As Disney has turned its family entertainment into far-left anti-American, anti-human ideological agitprop filled with hate, fear, and fake hope, American families have abandoned Disney, and that includes the toys that come from movies Disney produces, such as Marvel and Star Wars. Now, Hasbro, the toy maker for Disney, has announced plans to lay off 1100 workers as Disney’s toy market continues to collapse.

CULTURE (M & TH)

MOM DENIED ADOPTION DUE TO HER CHRISTIAN BELIEFS – Oregon’s violently anti-Christian law banning anyone from adopting children or fostering them who denies the “rightness” of homosexuality, transgenderism, and non-binaryism, is being challenged by the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) organization in defense of an Oregon Christian woman, Jessica Bates.

She was denied a foster care application because she refused to conform to the rainbow death cult’s demands she would support mutilating children when they are indoctrinated by child groomers to believe they can change their sex based on how they feel.

OG MICKEY TO BECOME COPYRIGHT-FREE – Disney prepares for its iconic logo, Mickey Mouse, to be stripped of its copyright protections, at least the original version of Mickey, and he’s not the only icon to face the wilds of copyright free land. Tigger, Minnie, and other early versions of Disney characters are set to lose their copyright protections as well, even if they cannot be used to present the users of these icons as representing Disney in any way, shape, or form.

‘“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. If I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person shall die for his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul. ‘ Ezekiel 3:17-19
