American colleges and universities are losing the youth as they continue to see their new student recruitments decline while attitudes towards the universities are also in decline. What looked like a plandemic problem has now turned into a systemic one that can’t be waved away with the plandemic excuse any longer.
It is a perfect storm of incompetence by our higher education institutions, who seem to have abandoned the higher in education for something much lower, hateful indoctrination intended to create anti-American revolutionaries, not equipping people to get what they want from college, training that will enable them to make a comfortable living for themselves. And they do this for an ever-increasing price that is making the investment not worthwhile given the reality of the job market today.
During the plandemic years, from 2019 to 2022, universities saw an 8 percent decline in student enrollment and those numbers have not picked up since the plandemic ended.
In 8 years, the confidence and trust in colleges and universities among the youth has gone from 63 percent in 2014 to just 41 percent in 2022 according to a survey by Morning Consult. Students are also opting out of the humanities, where woke ideologies run rampant, and seeking majors that are less polluted by social engineering programming such as STEM majors like computer science.
While tuitions rise faster than inflation and salaries rise slower than inflation, the exorbitant cost of college, coupled with its demands on students to conform to racist, bigoted ideologies, is destroying the very institutions that deserve the death they are creating for themselves.
In dozens of interviews with The Associated Press, educators, researchers and students described a generation jaded by education institutions. Largely left on their own amid remote learning, many took part-time jobs. Some felt they weren’t learning anything, and the idea of four more years of school, or even two, held little appeal.
… The shift has been stark in Jackson, where just four in 10 of the county’s public high school graduates immediately went to college in 2021, down from six in 10 in 2019. That drop is far steeper than the nation overall, which declined from 66% to 62%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Not only are less high school students choosing college, the number that choose and then drop out is also increasing. From weforum.org:
Seventeen percent of students enrolled in college say they’re dropping out of college after this semester, according to education website Intelligent.com.
Its survey of 1,250 undergraduate students expected to graduate in 2023 found another 19% of students aren’t sure if they’ll return to college this autumn.
Of the students surveyed, 46% expect to return to the college they’re enrolled at and the remaining 18% are switching to a different college.
As colleges and universities continue to bloat their budgets with woke priests hellbent on demoralizing the students they are supposed to equip to live their own lives, expect the flight from these schools to continue. The death of the institutions infested with revolutionary rainbow cultists couldn’t come fast enough in this writer’s mind. There will be new institutions that emerge to provide the services these woke factories of fear, hate, and fake hope have long decided not to provide anymore.
The Open Border Policy of the Mass Mailer President Joe Biden Committee is an overt act of treason and NY Mayor Eric Adams is telegraphing that reality, whether he intends it or not, in a recent plea to the Federal government to stop the flow of “migrants” coming across our unmonitored borders.
The far-left Mayor is seeing his city intentionally murdered by his own party, not willing to see beyond the demise of his own city to realize the whole nation is being murdered intentionally by this compete dereliction of duty by this regime.
The most salient point of Mayor Adam’s rant came here when he said, “Let me tell you something, New Yorkers: never in my life have I had a problem that I did not see an ending to. I don’t see an ending to this. We’re getting 10,000 migrants a month. One time, we were just getting Venezuela. Now we’re getting Ecuador. Now we’re getting Russian-speaking coming through Mexico. Now we’re getting Western Africa. Now we’re getting people from all over the globe that made their minds up that they’re gonna come through the southern border and coming to New York City.”
This country is being intentionally destroyed to justify the creation, the formal creation (for the de facto creation is already here) of a new nation, Progmerica, which is no America at all. In this country, there are no Bills of Rights, only the lived experience of the elites’ hand-picked priest-kings, who will dictate our beliefs to us from on high, justified with feels, racism, bigotry, hate, and scientism.
Eric Adams isn’t opposed to this new nation, he just wants his particular fiefdom protected from having to pay the cost of that “transformation,” from America to Progmerica, where men are not men and women are not women, where newborns risk murder should the state or their mother not approve of them, where the elderly risk forced “assisted suicide” when they become a liability (and believe me that’s coming).
Under the Mass Mailer President Joe Biden Committee, New York City has seen an invasion of 100,000 human beings who have little to no interest in the American republic, only in the handouts that dying nation can give them. Eric Adams says 10,000 more migrants a month are coming, and the continued influx will murder his city. It will also murder our republic, which is what it is designed to do.
The imfamous case of a “family vlogger” (8 Passengers, if you want to look it up on YouTube) who happens to be Mormon, but who is a wacko in my opinion, is being used to smear all Mormons. It was, I believe, Mormons who kept calling the authorities for the abuse of her kids.
More broadly, it’s being used to smear religion in general. One YouTuber opined about all their talk about homosexuality being a sin, long a staple in most of the Abrahamic religions and many other tribal religions, and said “religions start a lot of wars.” This is bunk, considering the evils perpetuated in the name of atheistic Communism. Instead of being focused on stopping child abuse, many are using this to attack religious freedom through blood libel claims against the faith community, as if all religious people are child abusers and non-religious people are the saints who can do no wrong.
The abuse is not for the faint hearted to see, and see it one can, because this couple filmed their mistreatment of their own 6 children for clicks and made MILLIONS of dollars from this. Their connection to a lady who ran a Mormon-based family counseling service, called Connections, only made things worse until a child escaped, with duck tape wrapped tightly around his feet, injured and starving, to a neighbor’s house.
The mom and the counselor are in jail, but not the father, who had been kicked from the family home perhaps a year ago. But what the reactions have been is anything but stellar, with a focus more on using this story as cudgel against religious people than the abuse.
Often, when bad things happen, bigotry is exposed. This includes anti-Mormon bigots (I’m not Mormon and consider it heretical, but I also don’t smear the religion), and anti-religious bigots who in their heart would want to persecute and outlaw religions if they could. A lot of this is being done under the rubric of their altrainbow alt-gendered ideology, which most religions, in their view, cannot and will not endorse.
In essence, if you follow these people’s mental gymnastics and sophistry, you can either be free to fly your altrainbow freak flag high and expect constant applause and approval, OR you can have your religious freedom, but you can’t have both. Any ideology that cannot survive and thrive or feel comfortable in its own skin, metaphorically speaking, is not a good ideology.
This goes for religions, too. Certain “versions” of some religious systems loosly associated with Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and the such, became imperialistic toward outsiders who themselves became infidels or barbarians who needed to be conquered and enslaved, for their own good. But, aside from places like Kashmir or certain Jihadist sects, most of the imperialistic sentiment directed at savage barbarians is practiced by the non-religious, usually altrainbow, crowd against the faith community.
I utilize an ideological or ideational system for life and governance called “Upadarianism”, and one of the main tenets is that an ideological system that cannot be used for your benefit and the benefit of groups of people who choose to utilize it, without imposing itself on anyone, is not to be trusted. Or, we might say, “If your ideology cannot be beneficial to you if all you do is practice it yourself, then it is perfectly useless to society.
Our focus is on what we are for and not what we are against. We aren’t AGAINST anyone in the altrainbow spectrum doing their thing and living in peace, and nor do we reject their humanity. We don’t concur that one should defy God’s blueprints and laws regarding any aspect of our human actions and interactions. Nor do we concur that such laws, which are found in Scripture and millenia of Christian moral orthodoxy, that such laws don’t exist or apply today. We are FOR living our lives as individuals and in community with others of the same mind, all following our own beliefs and convictions.
What we see with all these knee-jerk anti-Mormon and anti-religious bigots is that instead of being FOR their altrainbow ideology, they seem to believe that even not LIKING the altrainbow stuff is, as one said, “unacceptable”, though he tried to also say that it was OK but “these people went too far.”
Almost all of these reactions focus as much or more on the statements this family vlogger and her business partner have made about sexuality and marriage from their traditional Mormon perspective than the child abuse. They are far more offended ar harmless opinions about marriage and sexuality which have nothing to do with the abuse at hand than the abuse against children.
The altrainbow progressives and their shrill extremist wokatarianism are AGAINST anyone who doesn’t positively embrace and participate in their altrainbow lifestyles. They show more being AGAINST religious people than they are FOR just living that life and realizing not everyone has to approve, agree, like, or participate in their ways, even IF they think their lifestyle is literally “how I was born” or “what I was truly born to be.”
A common theme is that your religion is bad if it doesn’t salute the altrainbow flag, and if you dare to say something is a sin that some people think is perfectly fine. Thus, this horrible situation exposes the rampant anti-religious bigotry that exists, coupled with authoritarianism, that we should all be concerned about.
After receiving their $700 checks from President Biden, the residents of Maui still face mounting debt and expenses that cannot be met. As a consequence, renters on the island now face eviction as landlords seek to remove residents from their homes (the ones still standing).
During an emergency meeting with the Maui County Council, one resident told the council, “We’ve been receiving call after call of people who are being asked to be evicted by their landlords, people who are being displaced during a time of emergency when their house was like the only house standing in their neighborhood, simply because the owner of the house realized that their investment is no longer a sound investment.”
There are so many questionable actions that occurred during this emergency (which we covered here), but one action before the disaster adds to the suspicions many have regarding what has happened and is happening in Maui. An Emergency Proclamation Relating to Housing was released by Governor Josh Green (D-HI) just three weeks before the disaster.
According to the press release, “The Emergency Proclamation Relating to Housing, signed by Governor Green on July 17, 2023, aims to streamline the development process and empower developers and stakeholders to contribute to the creation of more housing opportunities. The Emergency Proclamation reflects extensive input from state and county agencies that provided details on process maps, application checklists, common areas of approval delays, and recommended touchpoints for engagement.”
Local residents speaking during that emergency meeting raised suspicions about the timing of the order, with one noting, “To my knowledge, this was the first emergency proclamation in the country that didn’t have a preceding incident. This was just from my knowledge, was just to streamline development on Maui and it is allocated all decision-making power to one person, the housing officer of the governor, Nani Medeiros, who’s unelected, who can trump every single thing that you do. They’re meeting with developers, private landowners.”
Actions by the DNC-CCP governor heighten suspicions that this is, in part, a land grab intended to give the state power to convert the free land to one micromanaged by the state. He announced his intentions out loud, saying, “I’m already thinking of ways for the state to acquire that land so that we can put it into workforce housing, to put it back into families, or make it open spaces in perpetuity as a memorial to the people who were lost.”
In typical DNC-CCP fashion, this un-American governor is using the dead as a shield from criticism for essentially moving like a Marxist to remove private ownership from Maui, at least for the little guy. The party elites, the wealthy class that funds the party, will get exemptions, of course.
He built on his hateful exploitation of the dead to justify state control, saying, “We want this to be something we remember after the pain passes as a magic place. Lahaina will rebuild. The tragedy right now is the loss of life. The buildings can be rebuilt over time, even the banyan tree may survive, but we don’t want this to become a clear space where then people from overseas just come and decide they’re gonna take it. The state will take it and preserve it first.”
Jesse Watters of Fox News, whose team created the report that much of this information came from, added, “The emergency housing proclamation was declared weeks before the actual emergency created a housing emergency. This emergency proclamation has been described as a gift to developers. The residents are apoplectic because of all the emergency powers. They go to a housing czar, and residents get no say. Now, the residents think developers, government officials, and all those billionaires who have bought up land in Hawaii like Zuckerberg, Oprah, Bezos are going to take advantage of the devastation.”
It is almost as if the Governor and these elites knew ahead of time the emergency that was to take place and exactly how to exploit it to further the interests of the party and the elites it serves, at the expense of Americans and our republic.
With the Biden administration doing everything it can to keep America’s borders wide open in what looks increasingly like a rogue regime aiding and abetting America’s foreign enemies, Texas has moved to protect its own borders, and the DOJ doesn’t like it. They’re threatening to sue the state for placing barriers along the Rio Grande River. The Governor has announced that DOJ has no jurisdiction to prevent Texas from protecting their border when the Federal government not only is NOT doing their job, but they appear to be actively subverting any efforts to protect Americans from this “immigrant” invasion.
The DOJ said in a letter, “The State of Texas’s actions violate federal law, raise humanitarian concerns, present serious risks to public safety and the environment, and may interfere with the federal government’s ability to carry out its official duties.”
You can think of this move along the lines of passing laws that make it illegal for people to defend themselves against attacks, such as we have with anti-gun laws in America today, and around the world, such as in Britain, having laws that make it illegal for you to use physical violence to stop a person from invading your home.
The move by the DOJ makes it all the more naked the nature of the Democratic Party, of which the DOJ has now become nothing more than a weapon of lawfare aimed at the heart of the American republic itself. Abbot responded to the threat by the DOJ to sue them if they fail to comply within a week, “Texas has the sovereign authority to defend our border, under the U.S. Constitution and the Texas Constitution. We have sent the Biden Administration numerous letters detailing our authority, including the one I hand-delivered to President [Joe] Biden earlier this year.”
Since 2021, there has been a war simmering between the United States and Iran. The US began seizing – via court-based “arrest” orders – ships carrying cargo (mostly oil) –out of Iran, to various nations that the United States has under economic sanction. The nations under US sanctions, such as Venezuela, have no real method to respond to the United States.
Iran, however, is a different matter.
Iran has begun seizing ships in the Persian Gulf by force, and in earnest, in response to the actions by the United States; the number is now up to twenty vessels. Additionally, some firms in the United States have begun to refuse to unload ships seized with Iranian cargo, fearing Iran seizing their vessels in retaliation.
Because of the clear threat presented to the “freedom of the seas”, the United is now responding to Iran by reinforcing its forces in the Persian Gulf with additional destroyers…and a few thousand US Marines.
While the first inclination of many will be to recall that the United States severely damaged the Iranian Navy in 1988’s Operation Praying Mantis – launched in response to an Iranian naval mine severely damaging the USS Samuel B. Roberts (FFG-58) – that was some thirty-five years ago.

Iran’s naval capability – while still no match for the US Navy in a direct fight – has significantly improved since their defeat, very likely enough to cause serious damage to United States forces in the process. Such a defeat, were it to happen, would almost certainly spark hysterical screams from within Washington, DC, demanding an all-out invasion.

This is certainly not a whimsical or marginal threat. There has been a long-standing resistance within the Washington establishment to any rational negotiations with Iran; indeed, this escalated after then-President Donald Trump called off a disproportionate attack in response to Iran shooting down an unmanned US surveillance drone in 2019. In fact, hysterical calls for war with Iran have been a steady feature of US rhetoric for over a decade.
While the reasons for this hysterical behavior by long-serving chickenhawks in the Washington Swamp are unclear, they are nonetheless real. And with the weak, disconnected and floundering administration currently in place in the Swamp, wallowing in failures both domestic and foreign, highly irrational decisions are a serious possibility.
Iran is not Iraq. An irrational and ill-advised war against the current iteration of Ancient Persia – no matter how technically weak it may appear – would be an absolute disaster for the United States in the immediate sense, but also for the wider world, as the impact on the global trade system would not simply be catastrophic, but could swiftly escalate out of control.
For far too long, the people of the United States have bought into the mythology of “American Invincibility”. While this belief was justifiable until about 2010, it is no longer the case. The US Navy currently fields less than 300 vessels; all of the armed services except the Marine Corps have admitted that they expect to fall short of their recruitment targets by at least 20%, if not more. As the Biden administration openly admitted less than two weeks before this writing, US industry has not been able to step up the production of basic artillery ammunition to meet the needs of the administration’s support to Ukraine.
There is nothing left for the United States’ potential need for combat operations, should that happen.

And there are painfully few options available, if any still exist at all. Despite some twenty-odd years of near-continuous combat, neither US industry nor the wider population have been mobilized for the possibility of a major war…or wars. In 1941, as the forces of Imperial Japan were attacking Pearl Harbor, the United States had been girding for war for nearly two full years, mobilizing a “command economy” to increase the production of war materiel to support Great Britain in its war against Hitler’s Germany, and instituting the first peacetime military draft in the country’s history, giving all of the armed services of the day time to bring in and train troops in readiness for war.
None of that has been happening in the last 20+ years. And the cold reality is that it is likely not possible, without twenty years, minimum, of corrective measures: Thirty years of globalism’s industrial and business realities have removed the bulk of heavy industrial manufacturing from within the borders of the United States. Likewise, there is virtually no chance of the Draft being reactivated; while it is certainly still on the books as a legal option, the social policies instituted, promoted and encouraged by the Democrat Party in the last fifteen years have poisoned the recruiting well for the military, encouraging the armed service’s core demographics to pointedly not step forward to enlist. Basic training has been eroded to the point where the vast majority of troops with under ten years service are not psychologically prepared for combat at any level.
And yet – the chickenhawks of the Swamp persist, thinking that their actions to please their vote base have had no impact on military readiness – despite facts to the contrary – because they are so disconnected from the real world…
…Now, if the issue were simply Iran and a shortfall for materiel’s shipments to Ukraine, this might not be that large of a problem. A problem, certainly, but not a critical one.
However, as many chickenhawk cheerleaders crow over the recent attack on the Kerch Bridge over the Sea of Azov, Russia’s response was swift and decisive: Russia has abandoned the deal it agreed to previously, which allows the export of Ukrainian grain crops to supply the world’s food needs.

Russia is now actively targeting the port city of Odessa with long-range missile strikes, and is laying naval mines to close off Ukraine’s remaining coastal regions. Moscow has also hinted at the possibility that it will attack commercial vessels attempting to reach Ukraine.
The real danger in this series of moves lies far to the south, where Egypt is critically dependent upon Ukrainian wheat to feed its population. In the face of this loss, Egypt – already struggling with massive unemployment and the irrational and childish dismissal of its concerns over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dame (GERD) project by the government in Addis Ababa.
This is important, because if Egypt lashes out against Ethiopia in desperation – using an air force largely reequipped by the US – it could easily spark a much wider war, a war that could easily result in the closing of the Suez Canal…an act that, as was demonstrated by the grounding of a single container ship in 2021 for less than a week, would up-end the world trade system.
Which loops us back to Iran.
If the United States tilts that windmill, it will destroy the International North–South Transport Corridor, the decade-old project by Russia, China, Turkey, India and Iran to build a trade corridor designed to drastically shorten the transit of commercial cargo, bypassing the Suez Canal entirely.
This is a hair-trigger environment that is capable of sparking World War 3. This is not hyperbole, in any way.
It is solely the construct of the Swamp – a body that imagines itself as completely immune to anyone it deems “lesser”…which term includes you and I.
Let that sink in.
The Freedomist — Keeping Watch, So You Don’t Have To
One of the bastions for leftist insanity that gave us some of the worst leftist policies in the country that continues to enable leftist violence and thuggery is finding itself at odds with the tyrannical mob it enabled. Apparently, the officials of Portland, Maine who helped cultivate this unholy beast are now seeking to reign it in by modifying ballot initiate rules so that the city is not completely at the mercy of the leftist mob.
Mayor Kate Snyder is hoping to add nine amendments to the city code, including one that would enable the city council to override any passed referendum. A group called “Enough is Enough” is leading the charge to reign in the mobocracy that unfettered ballot initiative create, but it is being attacked by the leftist mob with signs that say “Enough is Enough. How Dare You Ask for More!”
The sign implies the mob is always right and should always be listened to, which is not a surprise coming from a cult that assumes America is a “Democracy,” the worst form of government in the world, and not a Constitutional Republic with Democratic features designed to prevent the mob from ruling over the minority.
Watching these leftists come face to face with their own leftist “officials” who themselves have grown sick of the unhinged demands from this mob is highly entertaining on one hand, but from an American constitutional perspective, it drives home the fact that significant sections of our country are no longer under American constitutional jurisprudence. To be sure, the Mayor of Portland and her elite colleagues aren’t trying to restore American Rule of Law to their fallen city, they just don’t want to lose too much power to the Frankenstein beast their actions (in collusion with the MSM) created this hate-filled, anti-American, anti-human mob in the first place.
The man identified by many as being an FBI plant on the January 6, 2021 protests of the mass mailer election has been notified by the DOJ it seeks to bring charges against him. That man is the now infamous Ray Epps, who was caught on multiple videos seeming to incite people to turn a protest into a riot, or worst, an actual insurrection (which, if he was trying to do, he failed to accomplish). So far, despite being notified in May of 2023, no charges have actually ben filed.
It was in a lawsuit filed by Ray Epps against Fox News over its position on January 6 as represented by Tucker Carlson (that it was not an insurrection). It should be noted that lawsuit came after Fox news bent the knee to Dominion Voting Systems, hoping appeasing leftist insurrectionists would get the heat off of them.
They even sacrificed their cash cow, that same Tucker Carlson, to do so. So far, it has only increased the leftist assault on Fox News who failed to learn the lesson that you never apologize to or negotiate with terrorists, which the left in America, to Americans who hold to American bill of rights values, certainly has become.
The lawsuit filing included this statement that reveals the Epps charges, “Finally, in May 2023, the Department of Justice notified Epps that it would seek to charge him criminally for events on January 6, 2021- two-and-a-half years later. The relentless attacks by Fox and Mr. Carlson and the resulting political pressure likely resulted in the criminal charges.”
The Rainbow fascist state of California has heard the concern of parents over the forced agenda of LGBTQ+ on their children, which seeks to mutilate children and lead them to hate their skin and explore their sexuality as early and often as teachers can get them to do so.
After hearing the pleas of parents rightly concerned with the terrorist threats being levelled at their non-complying children, the DNC-CCP controlled state is looking to write legislation making it illegal for parents to be parents and legal for teachers to be perverse, seditionist child groomers.
Some bills now being proposed would make it legal for 12-year olds to turn their parents in for refusing to allow them to mutilate their bodies and become dependent on big pharma drugs for the rest of their lives to live an illusion that is born from a mental illness. Other bills look to criminalize parental dissent expressed in school board meetings, deeming every accusation as harassment or worse.
One parent, in response to this dark ideology now controlling her state and trying to silence and destroy her for resisting it spoke best when she said, “Would you remain calm if your kids’ school didn’t stop such obvious endangerment rather than criminalize parents who are terrorized by the grooming of their children?” That mother was Allie Snyder, who, in one school board meeting read an excerpt from one of the rainbow fascist holy texts being forced on innocent children, THIS BOOK IS GAY. It states “Perhaps the most important skill you will master as a gay or bi man is the timeless classic ‘the handjob.’”
The self-professed Democrat Socialist and militant Black Lives Matter Activist Mayor of South Fulton, GA, Khalid Kamau, has been arrested and charged with trespassing and burglary after police were called by a homeowner whose home was being invaded by the far-left Mayor.
The homeowner was notified by a home security phone app that someone was inside his home. He rushed home and found the intruder, commanding him to stay put while he calls the police. The Mayor responded, “Do you know who the f#%k I am? I’m the Mayor, and I’ll wait for my police to get here and see what happens then.”
He must have thought he had already transformed America from a Republic to a Soviet state when he made that bold decision. Fortunately for the homeowner, the police were not communist thugs, so they proceeded to arrest the thug Mayor, the face of the far left.
