According to a report released by the US Census Department, the 2020 Census produced some notable errors that overcounted 8 states, 7 of which are Blue, and undercounted 6 states, 5 of which are Red, including Florida, As a consequence Florida will lose 2 Electoral Votes erroneously in 2024.
Jun 1, 2022At the risk of overusing a phrase, the 2024 presidential election may be the most important — and perhaps the closest — in history. Last week’s Census Bureau announcement of serious errors …
Serious errors committed by the Census Bureau may end up impacting the 2024 election, experts warn. A Census Bureau study published in late May shows that Republican-leaning states were under-counted by statistically significant margins, while Democrat-leaning states were over-counted by statistically significant margins. The census, mandated every 10 years, was conducted during the pandemic.
“The consequences of the Census Bureau’s errors will further erode the public’s trust in our electoral system. And if we thought 2000 or 2020 were contentious elections, just wait until a candidate realizes that he or she could have won the White House if the national headcount were done correctly,” Tate observed.
Republicans hoping to seize control of the House in November are already setting their sights on what is, for many of them, a top priority next year: impeaching President Biden.
A number of rank-and-file conservatives have already introduced impeachment articles in the current Congress against the president. They accuse Biden of committing “high crimes” in his approach to a range of issues touching on border enforcement, the coronavirus pandemic and the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.
Those resolutions never had a chance of seeing the light of day, with Democrats holding a narrow control of the lower chamber. But with Republicans widely expected to win the House majority in the midterms, many of those same conservatives want to tap their new potential powers to oust a president they deem unfit. Some would like to make it a first order of business.
“I have consistently said President Biden should be impeached for intentionally opening our border…
President Joe Biden appeared to endorse Civil War in statements recently claiming the Republican Party is “semi-fascist,” implying the only viable opposition to the Democrats is a seditious criminal element. The comments were made at a DNC fundraising event, setting a violent tone ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.
Editor’s Commentary:
The half-life President Joe Biden has taken to categorize the whole Republican Party, the only viable political vehicle of power in America to oppose the seditious DNC, “semi-fascist.” He made scathing, Civil-war-triggering claims about the opposition to an anti-American party fundraiser.
Biden stated, “What we’re seeing now, is either the beginning or the death knell of an extreme MAGA philosophy. It’s not just Trump, it’s the entire philosophy that underpins the – I’m going to say something, it’s like semi-fascism.”
He continued to elaborate, “This is not your father’s Republican party. This is a different deal. Our team has to show up and quite frankly vote, just simply vote.”
The party that endorsed “punching Nazis” as a means of settling political differences (in direct defiance of our freedom of expression and free speech principles), the party that is using corporations to force their anti-American ideology, woketarianism, on its customers and employees (a classically fascistic tactic), is calling the party whose name suggests opposition to fascism, republicanism, semi-fascist.
The DNC is showing they never intend on surrendering power. They never intend on losing again, for surely if they did they would hedge their bets a little, lest the republicans do to them what they are now doing to the Republicans.
This verbal act of terrorism committed by an American sitting President (which is what makes this terrorism) comes on the heels of Biden appointing one of the main orchestrators of the Russia Hoax to a key position in the intelligence community.
To the DNC, Americanism is the sedition. To the DNC, Americanism is the fascism. To the DNC, not being able to control the narrative, not being able to control information, thought, and action, totally and completely, is sedition. Wishing to be free from social engineering control is the same as wanting to round up an ethnic group and leading them to slaughter.
The DNC have truly become the party of foreigners, anti-Americanists who cannot thrive in a land that holds them accountable to their claims and actions, for their actions are fundamentally violent in nature. From hate speech laws to anti-gun laws, the DNC is supporting the constant erosion of our Bills of Rights, and it has done so since the birth of the party.
Its very name is anathema to Americanism. Democracy is violence, mob tyranny, that eventually devolves to police state tyrannies, which is EXACTLY what the DNC wants, hoping to never have to face an honest and transparent election process again.
If Joe Biden is now openly calling for the Republican Party to be viewed as a criminalseditious organization, it telegraphs the DNC’s desperation to prevent the Republican party from using the power of the House subpoena to bring them to account for the many crimes they’ve committed as a party against the American republic, which now only lives in the hearts of Americans who still believe in the sacredness of individuals, not states or social vehicles of power (as the DNC supposes).
The party that follows a philosophy that denies the individual (except for the individuals at the highest level of their extremist pyramid of power) has no problem cracking a few eggs that promises those fooled by their violent rhetoric a Utopian omelet that will never, can never, be made.
In short, when a Democrat calls you a fascist or seditionist, it is because you are American, and, to them, Americanism violates their Priest-King Cult code. To them, fascism is liberty. To them, chains are freedom. Rousseau is their source of understanding, not Mill, and thus the Constitution itself is referred to as a dog whistle for fascism, for, to them, freedom is accountability, and the party of lies and violence cannot afford accountability when they rose to power in such unlawful, un-American ways.
President Joe Biden came out forcefully against the Republican Party during his comments at a Democratic National Committee fundraising event in Bethesda, Maryland.
“What we’re seeing now, is either the beginning or the death knell of an extreme MAGA philosophy. It’s not just Trump, it’s the entire philosophy that underpins the – I’m going to say something, it’s like semi-fascism,” said Biden.
“This is not your father’s Republican party. This is a different deal,” he added, according to the White House pool report. “Our team has to show up and quite frankly vote, just simply vote.”
The report also said that Biden implied that the Supreme Court might strike down a previous decision allowing for gay marriage based on its recent overturn of the Roe v. Wade ruling.
“If the MAGA Republicans win control of the Congress, it won’t matter where you live,” Biden said. “Women won’t have the right to choose anywhere. Let me tell you something. If they take it back and…
In an interview on The Joe Rogan Show, Meta CEO and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg confessed his social media platform buried any story about Hunter Biden’s corruption and found laptop after the FBI contacted Facebook and warned them that any bad Hunter Biden news was fake news from Russia.
Editor’s Commentary:
So long as the DNC presupposes that it can perpetually hold on to power, it MUST hold on to power by any means necessary. The assumption of perpetual power leads those in charge to commit acts of coercion that set dangerous precedents for the opposition should they ever retake power.
The belief in perpetual power leads to the necessity to keep it because the crimes committed in the name of preserving and expanding power will be revealed the moment the opposition gains access to the government records the party in power has created.
The quest for perpetual power might have been necessitated by the lengths the DNC went to in an attempt to prevent Donald J. Trump find out where the corruption lies in government that has been accelerated and expanded by the DNC since Obama first became president.
The Russia Conspiracy hoax has led to a fake mass mailer election in 2020, outright seditious acts of disobedience by DNC party apparatchik and their collusionists within the halls of government (the so-called deep state). Now, Zuckerberg is accidently exposing just how socially total the level of collusion between the DNC and most “American” institutions truly are.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in an interview released Thursday that Facebook suppressed the New York Post’s report about Hunter Biden’s laptop after the FBI warned the tech giant about misinformation.
Asked by podcast host Joe Rogan about Facebook’s approach to the Hunter Biden report, published in October 2020, Zuckerberg said, “The background here is the FBI, I think, basically came to us … and was like, Hey, just so you know, like you should be on high alert. … We thought that there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election. We have it on notice that basically there’s about to be some kind of dump … that’s similar to that.”
The Meta CEO contrasted Facebook’s approach with Twitter, which completely banned sharing the Post article.
“We filmed in Serbia because I needed, you know, Ukraine. I needed to have that visuals,” said Davi. “A month before I was there, Hunter was in Serbia at Belgrade, a month before we started to film, and also they sent a team of lawyers down that were saying they wer e doing a documentary, to infiltrate the set and we find out later on that they were sent down … and they’re…
A federal judge on Saturday announced its “preliminary intent to appoint a special master” to review records seized by the FBI during its unprecedented raid of his Mar-a-Lago home earlier this month, at the request of former President Trump and his legal team, citing the “exceptional circumstances”.
Trump and his legal team filed a motion Monday evening seeking an independent review of the records seized by the FBI during its raid of Mar-a-Lago earlier this month, saying the decision to search his private residence just months before the 2022 midterm elections “involved political calculations aimed at diminishing the leading voice in the Republican Party, President Trump.”
U.S. District Judge from the Southern District of Florida Judge Aileen M. Cannon on Saturday afternoon said that the decision was made upon the review of Trump’s submissions and “the exceptional circumstances presented.”
When the United States Marine Corps’ (USMC) Commandant, General David H. Berger, announced his radical visionin 2019 of “reinventing” the Marine Corps to perform duties on a basis more in line with the guidance from then-Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, his program proved to be highly controversial, not least, in light of recent events in Ukraine and Russia. This vision radically restructures the Marine Corps, removing main battle tanks entirely, and significantly reducing both “bayonet strength” in infantry battalions, as well as heavily cutting back on conventional artillery and tactical air transport, all in an attempt to fight the People’s Republic of China (PRC).
It is bewildering – to say the least – as to how these ideas could work verses a major-war opponent may be an open question. Primarily, the controversy revolves around the significantly reduced capacity in fire support.
However, times change, and technology changes apace.

Case in point: As technology and high-tech industry has expanded throughout the world, more and more nations are developing energetic and dynamic design firms. Recently unveiled by Indonesian shipbuilder PT Ludin, the Atasena-class X-18 ATC (Armored Troop Carrier) – originally called, for obvious reasons, the “Tank Boat” – may look like something out of a “GI Joe” movie, but it is definitely an innovative development of preexisting concepts.
Name of Indonesia islands greater than 1000 km2 in area.
Comprised of over 18,000 separate islands, and being on the front lines of both insurgency, piracy and general world unrest, Indonesia has a definite need for an inshore fire support vessel with a heavy punch. In this, the X-18 “Tank Boat” certainly delivers.
Designed by PT Ludin, the X-18 ATC is to be built by the veteran small craft yards of North Sea Boats. The current production unit that has undergoing testing by the Indonesian Army is armed with the Cockerill C1030 MK44S 30mm cannon unmanned turret. A mock-up vessel, shown at international arms shows when the details of the X-18 were released mounted a mock-up of a planned Cockerill 105mm cannon with an automatic loading system in a small, 2-person turret, with a 360° traverse and a pair of .50cal/12.7x99mm heavy machine guns as secondary weapons, with other secondary weapons possible. In either configuration, the X-18 can also carry up to 60 troops, up to 5 tons of cargo, or a variety of small, rigid-hulled inflatables. This would allow the deployment of conventional boarding or landing parties, as well as special operations teams — who could potentially have 105mm artillery support within a 10km arc from the craft. Another planned version would mount some form of dedicated anti-ship, and possibly anti-submarine, missiles.
CONCLUSION
With a reported draft of only 0.8 meters and a reported 600nm range (the distance from Washington, D.C. to Miami, FL) at 9 knots (but able to cruise at 40 knots, with a 50 knot maximum speed), the twin-hulled catamaran design would certainly have long legs. The design is impressive enough – in theory – to have reportedly garnered an early order from the United Arab Emirates, with India, Greece and the Philippines expressing serious interest.

While its armor (NATO Stanag 4569) may be rather unimpressive, proof only against small arms and shell fragments at a distance, in the inshore environment, the ability to swiftly bring large numbers of troops, backed up by significant firepower, to bear on an enemy’s rear areas is a major advancement in firepower.
This is something that the USMC, struggling with shrinking procurement budgets and a general drop-off in enlistments, should seriously consider adding to its arsenal, not least because of a projected purchase price of under US$20million each.
Not every bright idea comes out of the US defense establishment.
The Freedomist — Keeping Watch, So You Don’t Have To
Originally, this article was going to be considerably different, until research suddenly swerved in a different direction. That direction is to reinforce a fundamental military truth:
Artillery was, is, remains and will remain, the “King of Battle.”
While retaining the “Dragon Fire II” vehicle-mounted 120mm mortar, the reading on the rationale behind these decisions stands testament to an unacceptable failure by the military establishment in the United States to focus on reality.
Since combat operations commenced in Afghanistan in 2001, the US military in general has drilled down to a focus almost exclusively on “counterinsurgency operations” (COIN). Although pointedly left unsaid in public, this is a reaction to the fact that the US military establishment essentially abandoned COIN operations in the aftermath of the Vietnam War, to focus exclusively on the perceived threat of a Soviet invasion to Western Europe, and the assumed nuclear exchanges that would follow. In the aftermath of the 9/11 Attacks and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan deteriorating into guerilla conflicts, the US military swung the pendulum 180° in the opposite direction from the 1980’s.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, and Francis Fukuyama foolishly proclaiming the “End of History”, although rarely spoken out loud, military forces were seen as almost redundant anachronisms in many quarters, and should be reduced both in scale and capabilities, rendering them as something like heavily-armed police forces, with the occasional, movie-ready SWAT teams for hostage rescue. Combat operations like the first Persian Gulf War and Operation Iraqi Freedom were seen as aberrations, large operations against technologically inferior despot forces with lots of heavy (if antiquated) weapons and gear, and lots of troops, who – if not very well-trained or motivated – at least had plenty of simple weapons, and who would require somewhat more force than the international equivalent of a beat cop holding up their hand and saying “HALT!” in a loud voice.
Enter Russia.
While we are not going to delve too deeply, here, into the politics of this year’s Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russia is currently – by their own counts (which should, of course, always be taken with a large grain of salt) – running an average of c.580 fire missions per day. Assuming that these missions are run according to Russian military doctrine, each of these missions are a “battery shoot” involving a battery of four to six weapons. Roughly 30% of these would be rocket artillery, mostly from BM-21 ‘Grad’ type rocket systems, with the remainder fired by conventional “tube” artillery [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artillery]. Using the most conservatively realistic figures, this equals approximately 7,000 conventional artillery rounds being fired.
Per day.
This come out to over 200,000 rounds in a 30-day period.
In contrast, the Western democracies have “bet the farm” on weapon accuracy, developing “precision everything” in mortar, rocket and conventional artillery rounds. They chose this route, because the conventional news media is ecstatic over images of dead civilians, which is much more likely when using “dumb” weapons. Needless to say, such casualty-limiting precision comes at a price: the M982 “Excalibur” 155mm precision-guided artillery round costs anywhere from US$68,000 to $175,000 per round (depending on who is counting).
In the West, conventional “dumb” artillery rounds cost between US$300 and $1,000 each. This, of course, begs the question: is “smart” better than “dumb“?
Certainly – if you can afford it. Can the West?
Currently, following the defense budget cuts in FY2022 by the Biden administration, artillery ammunition procurement is being cutby some 36%. In the very best case scenario, this means that the United States currently produces enough ammunition in a calendar year for anywhere between ten days and three weeks of combat firing, based – again – on the mostconservative take on Russian claims of artillery fire missions and estimated rates of ammunition expenditure in Ukraine. And the United States is sending ammunition to Ukraine to go along with the 155mm howitzers and other weapons we are already supplying.
And the US is not alone. In 2021, the British Army conducted a large-scale, “main force” wargame where they completely exhausted national stocks of critical ammunition – at the national level – in eight days. Similarly, only about 2,100 units of the vaunted Javelin missile are produced each year – and the Ukrainians are claiming to fire “hundreds” of Javelins daily, leaving the US defense industry scrambling to bring new production streams online. The FIM-92 Stinger anti-aircraft missile is in a similar situation.
Worse still, Russia is known to have fired over 1,000 “cruise missiles” since invading the Ukraine proper in February of 2022. Even given the highly questionable reports of those firings’ performance, it is clear that the Russian industrial base is still more than capable of supplying the weapons and ammunition to the firing lines (the logistical aspects of this are an entirely different subjects).
It is vital to keep in mind, again, that the technical accuracy and reliability of the Russian arsenal is not the question, here. The fact is that they are able to maintain production and consumption rates of comparatively “dumb” systems – and firing something at the enemy is better than firing nothing, because you’re waiting on resupply.
The conclusion here is clear: the West is functionally trying to counter Russian aggression from a hospital bed, while ignorant children are playing with its life support equipment.
This is not 1939, and the West is no longer the “Arsenal of Democracy.” Ukraine is paying, and will continue to pay, a heavy price for trusting the modern-day Western states…and unless something is done quickly, the people of the West may well pay that price, as well – assuming that we do not pay an even heavier price.

PA’S BLUE COLLAR DEMOCRATS LEAVING PARTY – The registration rolls from January 1st of this year to July 25th reveal that 18K Western PA Democrats switched to Republican. Across the state, Republicans have 38,000 new members who were once Democrat, while the DNC has only 12,000 switching in the opposite direction.
In the suburbs, longtime Democrats are more likely to be concerned about inflation and the economy, Mr. Madonna added — but it’s too soon to see if the registration numbers are a warning sign for the party’s chances.
“You have to look at the trend underway for several years in these working-class counties. Go look at the voter registration out there in the southwest. Go look at the numbers — that now have more Republicans registered than Democrats,” Mr. Madonna said. “That’s a huge change.”
DNC’S HISPANIC FLIGHT PROBLEM GETS WORSE – Hispanics continue to leave the DNC in droves, according to MSNBC. In 2016, Hispanics gave the DNC a 38 percent margin of victory. In 2020, the gap shrunk to 21. Now, the gap is down to 13 percent, with 48 percent supporting the DNC and 35 percent supporting the GOP.
It is quite a mystery why so many Hispanic voters are flocking to vote Republican. Shocking, only to Democrats. After all, Democrats are the illegal immigration party. Democrats have spent decades marginalizing taco-eatingLatinx voters as only carrying about illegal immigration. Where is the gratitude?
Turns out, as MSNBC of all places tells us, Hispanic voters aren’t as race-obsessed as the mayonnaise-looking white progressive activist base wants them to be. And the Hispanic-American voters care about the same issues as every other hyphenated American group does. That includes those of us who don’t identify as hyphens.
American Enterprise Institute’s Ruy Teixeira says, in this clip, that liberals assumed Hispanic voters would fall in line after 2020’s “racial reckoning” that took place in Park Slope, Berkley, and cable newsrooms. The shift of Hispanic…
MSNBC national political correspondent Steve Kornacki warned Democrats that Hispanics are continuing their mass exodus from their party ahead of the crucial midterm elections.
“One of the major stories to emerge from the 2020 election was the shift we saw in the Hispanic vote,” Kornacki said on a segment Monday.
“You know what? The trend seems to be continuing in 2022. What you’re looking at here, this is the average of every poll we’ve got out there that’s been taken over the last three months that looks at the Hispanic vote,” Kornacki said.
According to the MSNBC report, support for Democrats among Hispanics has fallen to only 48% while support for Republicans has risen to 35%, for a net margin of 13%.
Kornacki showed that Democrats had a large 38% margin of support by Hispanics in the 2016 election which decreased four years later to 21% in that presidential election.
“What’s going on here?” asked Kornacki.
He then interviewed Ruy Teixeira, a nonresident senior fellow…
