I get a certain satisfaction from those social media memes that joke, “For every Christmas light that goes up before Thanksgiving, an elf dies.” Not that I have anything against elves. I am sure they are very nice. Thanksgiving comes before Christmas, and it is a uniquely American holiday that should be properly recognized.
We see it increasingly every year. Immediately after Halloween, the Madison Avenue marketers and profiteers start the push to “buy, buy, buy” for the Christmas holiday. In some cases, stores are starting to put up Christmas merchandise even before the Halloween candy goes on sale. Jack Skellington riding a reindeer. How pithy.
In my humble opinion, it diminishes both Halloween and Christmas. But more importantly, it completely ignores the uniquely American holiday that is Thanksgiving, and that is really disheartening.
Everyone should know the story of the first Thanksgiving and the formative history that brought it to be a national holiday. I say should because, as you all know, accurate and fact-based history isn’t taught in our schools today. Another reality that is disheartening, but I digress.
To give a brief overview, I turn to The History Channel, which, for most of what they do, at least attempted to have fidelity to the truth:
And so it is that the Thanksgiving holiday is one that is born of Americanism. It is ours as a nation, yet today, we give it short shrift as a day when we eat well, watch football (if you’re into that, my football-watching days ended with the brilliance of the 1985 Chicago Bears), and end up arguing with the outspoken and/or over-imbibed relation who just needs to display his or her ass about politics and current events, all as the whisper of Christmas licks at the window.
The fact of the matter is this. We, as individuals and as a nation, have quite a bit to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, and we should take the time to breathe and give thanks for it all.
Politically, whether you are a Trump supporter or one of the vocal few who suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome (a real affliction, I might add), we now have a government in waiting that is one of the most diverse and focused in recent history. Kennedy, Gabbard, and a plethora of individuals from outside the Deep State bureaucratic complex are focused on dismantling the inside-the-beltway apparatus, one that does very little but serve itself, in a quest to decentralize the federal government and return the taskmasters' whip to which the government is meant to obey to the people.
Societally, it appears that the abstract lunacy—and I use those words to be consumed literally—the abstract lunacy of wokeism seems to be on the wane. DEI—Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion—is being abandoned by corporations all over the country and, in fact, the world. People are slowly becoming more comfortable discussing the ridiculousness of the transgender appeasement movement (true cases of gender dysphoria are documented at just 0.014% at the high end, internationally). And the identity politics charlatans of the genderism and racism activist crowds are fast losing the sympathies of an awakening public who sees their efforts as those of division and opportunism.
But personally (and that’s what it all boils down to, doesn’t it), we all have a great number of things to be thankful for. While not a “land of perfection,” we live in the United States, and she is still the shining beacon on that hill that signals hope reigns eternal both for her citizens, those who quest to be included in her citizenry—legally, and the world.
Many of us have family and friends that, sad to say, and just about everyone is guilty of it, have family and friends that we don’t embrace enough. Thanksgiving gives us a day, if only one out of 365, to dedicate ourselves to making sure they know how we feel, whether it’s a full-on embrace or just a smile and a nod of the head.
Thanksgiving also gives us an opportunity to extend the brotherhood of man to those less fortunate than ourselves, to let those who feel they have been forgotten know they haven’t been. And to let those who serve us each day, out of sight and out of mind—the first responder firefighters, EMTs, and police officers; the nurses (both home health and institutional) and doctors, and our military men and women—to let them know we see them and are thankful for the protection they provide.
So, while you prepare your Thanksgiving feast or sit on the couch watching football while someone else does, take some time—before the eating and drinking and before the conversations that sometimes may become heated—to give some thought to all you and yours have to be thankful for. When we stop and consider that singular question, we really come to understand how “wealthy” we really are as individuals, as a society, and as a nation.
After the turkey is relegated to the sandwich-maker's heaven that the day after Thanksgiving affords, then—and only then—should we be forced to suffer the onslaught of the marketeers' “buy, buy, buy” and 24-hour-a-day Mariah Carey Christmas songs.
That was almost Grinch-like, wasn’t it?
Wishing you a very reflective, happy, and joyous Thanksgiving. God Bless America.

Well, the election is over and my stock in U-Haul hasn’t gone up any. I mean, come on, man! I thought the entirety of the caustic Left glitterati promised the American people—their fans included—that they were going to leave the country if Donald Trump won the 2024 election.
Cher, a jaded elitist, said she would leave the planet if Trump were elected—again—and more recently mentioned she would leave the country.
The comedic has-been and member of The View coven, Whoopi Goldberg, has threatened twice to leave the US if Trump became president, although she later walked those declarations back because, hey, nobody recognizes her as famous anywhere else in the world, where would she go?
Miley Cyrus, who so nauseatingly donated the “twerk” as an art form to the American petri dish of inanity, initially declared she would move out of the country if Trump won in 2016. I guess she’s waiting for the bellhop to load her luggage.
Barbra Streisand, who hasn’t done anything but shake down her sycophant buddies for $000 concert tickets for decades, suggested she would move to Canada or Australia if Trump returned to power.
Lebron James, JLo, Robert DeNiro, Ben Stiller (who?), Tom Hanks, Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift (gack), Stephen King, Julia Roberts and George Clooney (who both voiced commercials for Harris with Roberts voicing the “lie to your husband about who you vote for” commercial), Meryl Streep, Kevin Spacey, Rosie O’Donnell, Lady Gag (I mean Lady Gaga), Sharon Stone, Lena Dunham (who, again?), the list goes on and on. Elitist megalomaniacs so caught up in their own self-importance that they believe people actually give a shit whether they exist in the United States as citizens or not.
Did they really believe that the threat of leaving the country would change someone’s vote? Is their narcissism and detachment from reality that extreme? Are they that out of touch with reality?
I mean, what does their existence on US soil provide everyday Americans anyway? Is their leaving the country going to deprive us all of something critical in our lives? Will our nation suffer because they have expatriated? Were we all supposed to shriek in terror at the notion of an America without JLo or Lady Gaga, without Whoopi “Caryn Johnson” Goldberg (boy, isn’t “Caryn” appropriate in this case), or Cher?
Nobody gives a shit whether you’re here or not because what you do isn’t that important to our daily lives. You’re not here half the time anyway, and people manage to have fulfilling and fruitful lives without the blessings of your egotism and “look at me” neediness.
Do us all a favor and stop talking about it; stop “announcing it” as if it’s some once-in-a-lifetime world premiere event, and just pack up and get the fuck out! Leave already. Be gone. Vanish.
I at least give Ellen DeGeneres and Portia Rossi credit for actually leaving after making the declaration, but that won’t stop them from selling their wares to the American people, so it really doesn’t matter whether they live here or not.
But hey, maybe that’s exactly what these egotistical, self-centered maniacs need: a shot of reality.
We, in the United States—and anyone who has spent time overseas can attest to this—exist under the protections of the Bill of Rights. Not all free countries of the Western World have those protections, although some give it a good shot.
Even those who break the law have better protections in the United States than in other Western nations—and definitely in non-Western nations worldwide. Just ask any American who has had run-ins with law enforcement in a foreign country.
Truth be told, the people we really can’t do without in our daily lives are those who don’t obsess about fame, importance, and the spotlight. While we can do without Robert DeNiro and Meryl Streep, we can not exist safely without firefighters, paramedics, or police officers. While we can go about our daily lives without Ben Stiller or Rosie O’Donnell, we cannot function comfortably without sanitation workers, plumbers, electricians, or carpenters. These are the people who we need in our lives—especially if one is not completely self-sufficient, not the ego-bloated narcissist of the elitist coddled class.
So, why should we give a baboon’s red ass what the pompous glitterati think about politics or anything else, for that matter?
Let’s face it: a has-been, millionaire comedian with a caustic attitude telling you who you have to hate every day doesn’t amount to much when your goal is to put a roof over your family's heads and food on the table; their egotistical demands aren’t worth much when you have to make real-life decisions for the future, for your children’s future, or the care of an elderly parent.
Joy Behar’s inane and intellectually stunted diatribes of “agree with me or you’re a racist” hate each weekday add nothing to anyone’s life but division and conflict, and quite frankly, it’s hard to understand why she is even on the show. I mean, can you remember even one piece of comedy she ever created? What the hell is she famous for besides being a loud-mouthed, uninformed, opinionated buffoon? She certainly isn’t in the league of Robin Williams, Jerry Seinfeld, or Gilda Radner. Hell, she isn’t in the same league as Marge Simpson or Lois Griffin, and they’re fictional.
No, celebrities' opinions are worth about as much as a piece of used toilet paper, and it can be argued that the used toilet paper gives off less of a foul odor. No actor is going to come to your house to save you and your children at 3 am because your house caught fire in the middle of the night. No sports figure is going to put his life on the line by drawing down on a criminal who is trying to rob you at gunpoint. And no washed-up, spotlight-feeding comedian is going to show up at 11:30 at night to stop the water from pouring into your basement from a broken water heater.
Are there good and conscientious actors and actresses, comedians, sports figures, and other celebrities? You bet there are. But they don’t try to manipulate you into thinking a certain way by abusing their popularity. They don’t try to bully you ideologically just to falsely self-aggrandize themselves as superior to all of us little people out here in “audience land.”
Appreciate those who do the tough, dangerous, and thankless jobs that we need them to do every day, those first responders, public workers, and tradesmen who make our lives fundamentally better, not some bi-coastal elitist jagoff who demands his prosciutto be rolled into flowers and planted in a cantaloupe garden in the Green Room. These assholes pretend and muse for a living, and, quite frankly, given the quality of the products they have been producing lately, are grotesquely overpaid and exist above their true societal station.
So, to Robert, Whoopi, Cher, Babs, and the rest of you overblown, has-been, glitterati assholes who think we give a rat’s ass that you’re threatening to leave the country because of an election, hear this loud and clear; Get the fuck out and don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. We’ll be just fine.
Oh, and leave your citizenships at the door…let’s see how many are willing to do that. I’m betting not a single one.

As the mainstream media in the United States suffocates itself—superficially—on President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet nominees, an important international story goes unreported. It has everything to do with geopolitics, and the perceived act of sabotage warrants concern.
The Swedish Prosecution Authority has launched an investigation into suspected sabotage related to disruptions of two crucial undersea fiber-optic cables in the Baltic Sea. One cable connects Lithuania to Sweden, while the other links Finland to Germany. This investigation comes on the heels of Finland's announcement of its own police inquiry into these incidents, indicating a broader concern about the integrity of critical infrastructure in the region.
On Monday at approximately 0200 GMT, the 745-mile cable connecting Helsinki, Finland, to Rostock, Germany, ceased functioning, as reported by Cinia, the Finnish state-controlled cybersecurity and telecom company responsible for the cable. Simultaneously, at around 0800 GMT on Sunday, Telia Lietuva, a subsidiary of Sweden's Telia Company, reported a severed 135-mile cable between Lithuania and Gotland Island in Sweden.
The Baltic Sea, bordered by nine countries, including Russia, is a vital commercial shipping route. As such, ensuring the integrity of its underwater infrastructure is of utmost importance.
In a joint statement, Finland and Germany expressed deep concern regarding the severed undersea cables, emphasizing its broader implications for European security. They stated, "We are deeply concerned about the severed undersea cable," underscoring that "Europe’s security is threatened by Russia’s war against Ukraine and hybrid warfare by malicious actors," though no specific actors were identified. The statement highlighted the critical need to protect shared infrastructure, essential for national security and societal resilience.
Henrik Soderman, a Swedish prosecutor engaged in the investigation, announced that the cutting of the fiber optic cables is currently being treated as an act of sabotage. At an EU defense ministers' meeting in Brussels, German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius addressed the situation, noting, "No one believes that these cables were cut accidentally…[we] must assume, although we do not yet have confirmation, that this is indeed sabotage."
Recent damage to underwater infrastructure in the Baltic Sea has raised significant regional security concerns. One notable incident in 2023 involved a Chinese container ship that was implicated in dragging its anchor across telecommunications cables. The exact cause of this incident—accidental or deliberate—remains uncertain. However, the repeated occurrences of such events have sparked suspicions of potential hybrid sabotage. As a result, there are increasing calls for enhanced protective measures to safeguard Europe's underwater networks.
The ongoing incidents in the region highlight a significant concern. Recently, similar actions have been scrutinized for their potentially malicious intent. Last year, incidents involving a gas pipeline and other undersea cables raised suspicions of sabotage. This situation echoes the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline explosions, which are under investigation by German authorities.
One EU source with deep knowledge of the situation stated that other available information indicates that Russia has been behaving increasingly provocatively along its borders with Norway and Finland:
“Russia must be behind what looks like an attack, in which case it is a ‘casus belli’ (act of war, not simply sabotage).” Russia must be behind what looks like an attack, in which case it is a ‘casus belli’ (act of war, not simply sabotage). They should stop trying to reassure the public. [They] sound silly. This was to be expected in a sense. As regards the Baltic states, Putin must be trying to isolate some countries from the rest of the NATO and EU spheres. Normal tactics.”
What Should Americans Care About This
Vladimir Putin's aggressive maneuvers in the Baltic Sea, particularly in relation to NATO countries, are significant in light of his ongoing conflict with Ukraine. These actions carry important implications for the United States, especially for the incoming Trump administration.
The Baltic states—Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania—are members of NATO, and as such, any attack on these countries could trigger Article 5 of the NATO treaty. This article stipulates that an attack against one member is considered an attack against all. Consequently, the United States, as a founding member of NATO, would be obligated to respond militarily. Such a scenario could potentially lead to direct conflict between the US and Russia, significantly escalating tensions in the region.
The potential for conflict is heightened by North Korea’s deployment of military assets in the region to support the Russian war effort. This situation is further complicated by President Biden’s dangerous decision to permit Ukraine’s military to utilize US-made long-range missiles, which President Putin interprets as a direct engagement of the United States in the conflict.
Putin's use of hybrid warfare tactics, such as cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns, affects not only the regional landscape but also NATO's broader security framework, with the United States playing a pivotal role. These tactics challenge NATO's resilience and heighten the likelihood that the US will need to provide technological and intelligence support to counter these threats.
As tensions escalate, the US could find itself entangled in Russian information operations designed to instigate discord among NATO members and within the United States. These activities could significantly impact public opinion, influence elections, and alter the political landscape to the detriment of the West.
Additionally, the United States has a vested interest in promoting European energy independence as it seeks to diminish Russian influence over European politics. The Baltic Sea plays a critical role in this context, serving as a key conduit for energy security through pipelines such as Nord Stream. Any disruptions in this region not only impact European allies but also have significant repercussions for US economic interests and the overall transatlantic economic relationship.
So, Russia's aggressive actions are coaxing the United States to become more deeply involved in European security decisions. While this engagement is essential to maintain, it aligns more with the interests of the global elite, the US military complex, and the opportunistic elements of the Deep State than it does with the needs of the American people.
The geopolitical challenges and the political landmines left by the Obama-Biden-Harris administrations and the Sorosian global elite present immediate hurdles for Donald Trump upon his rightful return to office. This is one reason the mainstream media’s—and the uniparty political establishment’s—obsession with Trump’s cabinet picks is inane and, in fact, vacuous.
While dealing with this dangerous and complex situation is undoubtedly challenging, there is a silver lining in knowing that the intellectual inability of the Obama 2.0 neo-Marxist Left—ideologues such as Susan Rice, Samantha Power, and Antony Blinken, along with other remnants of the Obama administration—to affect effective diplomatic and strategic solutions is soon becoming inconsequential for they are no longer steering the ship.
That said, the disruption of internet communications in Europe affects the United States a lot more than realized at face value. It’s a hell of a lot more serious than a buffering problem on Netflix.

As the American people prepare to step back into the light from the darkness cast upon them by the progressive neo-Marxist minions of the globalist “New World Order,” we must all be keenly aware that the road back to liberty and freedom will not be an easy one. We will all have to endure some hardship as we disengage from the claws of an overreaching federal government. But it will be worth it.
The idea that the results of an election can somehow afford immediate solutions to problems and government entanglement that took decades—if not a millennium—to create is the stuff of the naive and the foolish. And while many in our Republic have been conditioned to expect instant gratification, enough of us have awakened from the stupor of the mainstream media’s disingenuous and false narratives to understand that a radical course correction away from the influences of the New World Order and toward a return to constitutionalism is desperately needed.
This awakening is why Donald Trump won the Electoral College by a landslide and captured the popular vote in the 2024 General Election. It is also why the people of all fifty states voted to give conservatives and Republicans the majority in both chambers of the Legislative Branch. And while the Republican Party goes about disenfranchising the Deep State uniparty operatives that exist within its ranks, there are enough people who have been elected to office who understand the depths of the corruption in our federal government and how it is now subservient in its station to the Deep State, and why both must come to an end.
The good news for us all is three-fold.
First, we have elected a bona fide change agent in Donald Trump and delivered the House and the Senate to him. When a conservative US Supreme Court is added to the equation, the result is an opportunity to effect some serious and real change in the federal government. Yes, the Deep State Republicans in Name Only (RINOs) can do great harm to this opportunity. Still, the ideological pendulum has recovered so far to the constitutional swing after twelve years of woke nonsense that even the most opportunistic politician knows the business-as-usual status quo cannot stand.
Second, the American people are finally ready to reduce the federal government’s footprint in their lives. Having survived the despotism of government overreach during the COVID pandemic and the onslaught of societal restriction that wokeism inflicted on them, they are starved to be left alone; to embrace a freedom unencumbered by the mandates of government not authorized by the minimalism of the US Constitution.
Americans—who identify as from both sides of the political aisle—are ready to listen to the serious conversations that surround restructuring our tax system away from one that is income-based, securing our borders and instituting a sovereignty-first immigration system, drastically culling Big Pharma and BigAg from the halls of power, expunging the totalitarian extremism of wokeness from our government departments, agencies, and commissions, and limiting the use of the US military to interests exclusive to the security of the United States.
And last but certainly not least, we have a working model proving that disengagement from government overreach and dependency results in a thriving nation and a thriving people. This model comes to us in Javier Milei’s Argentina.
What Milei has done in Argentina is nothing short of historical.
The Miracle In Argentina
Javier Milei, who became President of Argentina in December 2023, has implemented a series of reforms based on libertarianism and the disenfranchisement of governmental overreach to alter the country's economic and political landscape.
Milei's economic policies have significantly reduced monthly inflation rates. Initially, inflation was extremely high, but by February 2024, it had slowed to 13.2% from 25.5% in December 2023. By October 2024, it reached a three-year low of 2.7%, indicating a cooling of the hyperinflation that Argentina had been experiencing for decades.
One of his significant accomplishments was achieving a fiscal surplus within the first few months of his term, a feat not seen since 2012. This was accomplished by drastically cutting public spending, which included reducing the number of government ministries and firing numerous public sector employees.
Milei reduced the size of the government by more than 50%, which included reducing the number of ministries from 19 to 9. This was part of his broader policy of minimizing government intervention in the economy.
He introduced an omnibus bill aimed at giving him sweeping executive powers, which, although stalled in committee, was indicative of his aggressive approach to reform. His government passed historic reforms through the Chamber of Deputies, including repealing over 300 articles of laws, revoking regulations, and promoting the privatization of state-owned entities.
And although plans for dollarization have been delayed, Milei's administration has focused on stabilizing the peso, which has become one of the world's best-performing currencies under his tenure. This was part of his broader economic strategy to control inflation and stabilize the economy.
Milei has shifted Argentina's foreign policy away from the neo-Marxism that plagues the governments of Central and South America, notably by not renewing diplomatic relations with Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. Instead, he has labeled them dictatorships and is seeking closer ties with Western democracies, including pursuing a NATO global partnership.
But, from the beginning, Milei was open and honest about the fact that, in the short term, some pain would have to be endured. His administration enacted harsh austerity measures, which included lifting price controls, reducing subsidies (particularly for fuel and transport), and cutting public works contracts. While controversial, these measures aimed at reducing government expenditures and tackling inflation.
Are these same governmental and social maladies not shared by the United States in the aftermath of the poisonous rule and influence of the neo-Marxist progressive movement?
Despite initial opposition and protests—mostly spurred on by the socialist-leaning elements in Argentine society, credible polls indicate that over 50% of Argentines had a positive view of Milei as of late May 2024, indicating a level of public support for and acceptance of his revolutionary reforms.
These accomplishments reflect Milei's commitment to his campaign promises of implementing shock therapy economics, reducing state intervention, and promoting free-market policies. And Milei’s innovative approach to healing his nation hasn’t gone unnoticed.
The Beginning Of The New New World Order?
Milei became the first foreign leader to meet with President-elect Donald Trump during a visit to Mar-a-Lago for the first-ever meeting of the America First Policy Institute. There, he gave a speech that put the World Economic Forum globalists on notice that sovereign nations will not simply become useful idiot cogs in their authoritarian monocratic scheme.
Milei said, in part:
“In 1848, Marx began that sinister pamphlet, his Communist Manifesto with a phrase: A specter is haunting Europe. The specter of Communism. Today, a different type of spirit is traversing the world. The spirit of freedom. A spirit that has come to end the model of servitude that reigns in the free world…
“Today, at the height of Western culture, we face a new trial by fire. On the domestic front, the fight against the woke virus and its devastating consequences. And on the external front, the threat of new forms of despotism and terror. These are two different expressions of barbarism, but both are dangerous.
“I believe we must unite to confront this barbarism and form an alliance of creation guardians of the Western legacy by establishing new political ties, but also commercial, cultural, diplomatic, and military ties…”
Is this not a significant part of the core America First (sovereignty first) ideology that brought Donald Trump to the Oval Office in 2016 and now again in 2024?
This is the path the United States can take if we realize, understand, and support Trump’s sovereignty-first (America First) national policy, given the evidence of how it is working successfully in Argentina under Milei’s leadership.
The only thing that can keep the United States—and the American people—from reaping the benefits of a limited federal government through the application of Trump’s America First policy is if we allow the Deep State to hobble and kill the movement in its determination to maintain the bureaucratic status quo.
If we keep the pressure on and support the incoming Trump administration’s agenda to destroy the Deep State and the autocratic bureaucracy of the inside-the-beltway class, we can all be free as our Framers intended.
If we claim victory and do little else, we will have forfeited this incredible opportunity to the self-interested greed merchants of the selfish, elitist class who have ruled us into the desperate situation we exist in today.
I don’t know about you, but to me, the choice is clear.

Don’t get me wrong. I am ecstatic that we have re-elected Donald Trump to his rightful second term as President of the United States. But as a realist—a pragmatic realist—I understand that it will take much more than four years of Trump 2.0 to damage and dismantle the Washingtonian Deep State and reform the federal government.
The current “expert-dominated” federal bureaucracy (commonly referred to as the Deep State when you factor in K Street and the many special interest “complexes”) has been metastisizing for over 120 years. It first arrived on the American political scene with the Wilson administration and has been growing and encroaching on our individual and state rights ever since.
That’s why the recent move by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) in the wake of reports that a FEMA official allegedly directed employees to skip over the homes of Trump supporters while assessing damage from Hurricane Milton is so important. This move could symbolize the first shot in a constitutional confrontation between an overreaching federal government and the states.
The Shot Heard Around The States
As reported by a plethora of honest information outlets, including X and TheGatewayPundit.com, a whistleblower has come forward with text messages that reveal FEMA official Marn’i Washington ordered relief workers working in the area to purposely skip over homes in Florida displaying Trump signs in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton.
According to TheDailyWire.com on X:
“Whistleblowers say that relief workers were told it was ‘best practice’ to pass over houses ‘advertising Trump'...The workers would enter into the system that they made no contact with the residents, blaming the directive: ‘Trump sign, no contact per leadership.”
In another post on X, one FEMA volunteer who was exposed to the directive stated:
“I thought we could go help and make a difference. When we got there, we were told to discriminate against people. It’s almost unbelievable to think that somebody in the federal government would think that’s okay.”
In the aftermath, FEMA Director Deanne Criswell posting on X, called the all-but-admitted act “reprehensible,” and said the employee had been fired and will be referred to the Office of Special Counsel.
A Long Awaited Push-Back
In response to this blatant discrimination by our federal government towards its citizens, DeSantis issued a terse but warranted statement and directive:
“The blatant weaponization of government by partisan activists in the federal bureaucracy is yet another reason why the Biden-Harris administration is in its final days.
“At my direction, the Division of Emergency Management is launching an investigation into the federal government’s targeted discrimination of Floridians who support Donald Trump.
“New leadership is on the way in DC, and I’m optimistic that these partisan bureaucrats will be fired.”
The key words to focus on here are these: “...launching an investigation into the federal government’s…”
This marks a historic moment in time, and one held long in the waiting. For the first time in US history, a state government—in this case, the State of Florida, at the direction of its governor—is launching an investigation into the federal government that could end in criminal, civil, and constitutional consequences.
With DeSantis' order for the Florida Division of Emergency Management to investigate Ms. Washington, the total effort of FEMA’s actions in the state will be investigated. It is all but certain that any discriminatory and/or illegal actions taken by FEMA in the state will end up being referred to the State’s Attorney General for actions, as this precedent has been set in the second Trump assassination attempt.
Given the wide latitude established by recent federal investigations into private citizens and government officials alike, this would mean Florida’s Attorney General, Ashley Moody, would be able to look at not only Washington’s actions and directives but every aspect of FEMA operations in the state, including finances.
So, it must be asked: If criminal, civil, and constitutional malfeasance is discovered, prosecuted, and adjudicated, what would be the consequences? Criminally, we know fines and jail time would be the order. Civilly, we know the Floridians affected would have to be made whole. But what would it mean constitutionally?
Why This Is A Good Shot Across The Bow
If, as reported by this whistleblower, FEMA supervisors openly discriminated against people affected by Hurricane Milton in Florida, what kind of discrimination and agency slow-walking took place in northern Georgia, eastern Tennessee, and especially in western North Carolina in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene?
Each of these locations voted heavily, if not overwhelmingly, for Trump in the 2024 General Election. Are we to believe that in these rural areas, where people lost everything they’ve owned for generations, FEMA was on the up-and-up in their responses and aid? Are we really to believe that the Florida FEMA supervisor’s directive about letting Trump voters suffer in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton was an isolated incident, especially with the waterfall of first-hand reports from western North Carolina providing evidence that the FEMA response after Hurricane Helene was almost cruel in its malfeasance?
As the country awakens to just how corrupt our federal government has become under the far-Left extremism and tyranny of the Obama-Biden-Harris administrations, are we really supposed to believe that this kind of special interest, partisan, elitist governance is secluded to one agency as it applies its authority in one state? To believe that is the case would be so far beyond naive that I’m not sure there’s even a word or phrase to describe it.
It is for this reason that DeSantis' action to investigate FEMA—and through that agency, the federal government–serves as an opening salvo to a confrontation centered on the Ninth Amendment and the Tenth Amendment, which state, respectively:
“The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”
And:
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
DeSantis' move is the first move in a constitutional chess match between the states and the federal government that could pave the way for states to reassert their rightful authority over their constitutional domain and re-establish their rightful place as a potent check and balance to federal government overreach through the Ninth and Tenth Amendments and the use of the potent tool of nullification.
Has Our Republic Caught The Cancer In Time?
The clear-eyed American understands that Deep State elitist tyranny has become endemic in our federal government and lives in the bureaucratic apparatus, which has rendered representative government severely damaged, if not significantly hobbled.
We see it in the actions of far-Left extremists like US Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), opportunistic RINO Republicans like US Senators Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and John Thune (R-SD)—now the incoming Senate Majority Leader, the whole of the bought-and-paid-for Uni-Party, and pathetic groups like The Lincoln Project, whose leader actually said this:
Our federal government has been co-opted by the greedy, the opportunistic, the manipulative, and the egotistical.
We see it in the actions of federal employees and agents working for the elitist tyrants—mostly appointed and placed—at FEMA (in this example), the now politicized Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation, the decades-long partisanship of the Internal Revenue Service, and the dictatorial despotism of agencies like the National Institute for Health, the Food & Drug Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Center for Disease Control.
Our nation’s federal government has become an oblivious whore for the global elite and connected. We suffer from crony corporatism and public-private cooperative soft fascism. Our elected leaders, most often, have to answer to the federal government's bureaucracy when that flow of authority is—constitutionally—supposed to be in reverse.
This is the cancer—the political cancer—that the American people gave a mandate to Donald Trump to extinguish. And while Donald Trump’s second administration works diligently to cripple the Deep State, it will be governors like Ron DeSantis, Kristi Noem, Kim Reynolds, Greg Abbott, and the rest of the governors who stand to truly serve their peoples that work to re-establish the constitutional balance between the federal government and the states.
If we can keep the pressure on (an Alinsky rule that has served the neo-Marxist progressives well) and run interference against the Deep State—and especially the Uni-Party establishment electeds masquerading as Republicans—as Trump, DeSantis and the other governors move to return our Republic to constitutionalism, we have a chance at surviving the neo-Trotskyism of the Left.
But make no mistake. It’s going to take longer than just four years. We must start playing a potent long game.

Before I get into the main topic of today’s America’s Third Watch segment, I have to issue (as if this podcast is a disseminator of the old Civil Defense alerts), I have to alert everyone to a pretty despicable move that the Deep State establishment RINOs in the US Senate are trying to get away with.
This Wednesday—and after a three-day weekend when people won’t be paying attention, Mitch McConnell—the Senate Minority Leader—has called for leadership elections. McConnell, a decrepit RINO who has proved himself a tool (no pun intended) of the inside-the-beltway establishment and blatantly outed himself as a Trump-hater, is attempting to install Deep Staters loyal to him and the establishment Uni-Party before his authority to do so expires at the end of his reign.
Slating this election prior to the newly elected Senators being seated is to disenfranchise them—and the voters they represent—from having a voice in who leads them in the next Congress.
How is it that any US Senator on the Republican conservative side of the aisle is allowing this communist Chinese-friendly Uniparty reprobate to have any voice in what happens in the next Congress? Isn’t it bad enough that the Republicans and conservatives in the Senate have to combat the never-Trumpers amongst them? Isn’t it enough that this moldy gas bag clandestinely ruined the chances of winning for several change candidates—MAGA candidates—for US Senate in the 2024 General Election by withholding desperately needed campaign funding?
Mitch McConnell and his Igor-like minion, John Thune—who masked himself up as a Tea Partier, did a great amount of damage to the first Trump administration’s attempt to rein in the Deep State bureaucratic establishment. At every turn, they aided the Uniparty while quietly working against reforms the American people voted for in their election of Donald Trump.
Now, as Trump 2.0 stands to assume the Oval Office, are we supposed to swallow the same self-serving, degenerate, Deep State, establishment, “good ol' boy” network political bullshit that McConnell has been serving up his entire tenure?
Hell, no to that! Hell no!
This is one of those times that we must contact our US Senators. Tuesday morning, after they return from their out-of-office weekend, we must demand that they move to postpone the leadership elections until the newly elected Republican US Senators are sworn in and seated to the Senate. Use the link (provided here) to email your demand, post your demand on social media, and call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 to be connected to your Senator’s offices. Demand that they postpone the vote until the next Congress and to stop their Deep State games.
We haven’t come this far—defeating the Obama-Biden-Harris regime soundly—only to lose to the Uniparty, to lose to the Deep State establishment, to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
The election isn’t over until the reform and anti-establishment, anti-Deep State apparatus is firmly in place and operating. And to make that happen, we must all act against McConnell’s power grab right now!

As we witness statements of disunity and declared opposition—right from the get-go—from New York’s Governor Kathy Hochul and New York State Attorney General Letitia James toward Trump 2.0, we should all recognize that they are simply embracing the time-honored New York political tradition of self-serving, opportunistic, “preservation cowardice.”
From Francis Lewis to Tammany Hall, Hillary “The Carpetbagger” Clinton to Chuck Schumer and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York politicians have always put themselves and their special interest causes ahead of their constituents and have—routinely—exited office much wealthier than their paychecks would afford for doing so.
Today, the main self-involved “Sorosian” loyalists from New York are Hochul (D), James (D), and Judge Juan Merchan (D), the Colombian-born former prosecutor and current acting justice of the New York State Supreme Court in New York County (Manhattan) who presided over the legal abomination that was President-Elect Donald Trump’s “hush money trial”:
* Hochul announced the formation of the Empire State Freedom Initiative to prepare to fight “policy and regulatory threats” from the incoming Trump administration
* James announced her office was “ready to fight back again,” in announcing that “[t]ogether with Governor Hochul, our partners in state and local government, and my colleague attorneys general from throughout the nation, we will work each and every day to defend Americans, no matter what this new administration throws at us.”
* And Merchan, in a meeker move of political cowardice, is considering tossing out Donald Trump’s felony convictions following Tuesday’s election results.
As an aside, Hochul, James, and Merchan aren’t the only Sorosian malcontents to display their arrogance.
The Biden-Harris Department of Justice is said to be furiously winding down its fraudulent Jack Smith-led federal criminal cases against President-Elect Trump. This would end the spate of politically motivated lawfare against the President-Elect, actions that threatened to transform our federal government into one akin to a third-world dictatorship.
And California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) has called a special session of the California State Legislature to protect his state’s neo-Marxian policies from the Trump administration, with the Los Angeles Times opining, “The new special session provides an early look at the governor’s plan to wage an aggressive and highly visible campaign to shield California from the Trump White House.”
A Long Tradition Of Obstruction
Incidentally, did you know that in the quintessential move that started it all for the United States—the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the New York delegates to the Continental Congress were so cowardly in their fear of King George that they could only muster enough courage to “abstain” from voting against a move toward independence for the colonies?
When the Declaration was voted into existence on July 2, 1776, New York's delegates—Francis Lewis, William Floyd, Philip Livingston, and Lewis Morris— abstained from voting for independence. In a politically disingenuous and strategic move, the New York delegates were instructed to wait for further guidance from their Provincial Congress as they put their fingers into the wind to divine which would be the more advantageous course to take…for themselves and their elitist brethren.
The colony of New York was politically divided. There was a significant loyalist presence in the colony who remained loyal to the King and gleaned significant wealth from remaining British subjects. So, to preserve their status and success, many were unwilling to break away from British rule. This division, especially with the wealthy elites on the loyalist side, meant that the Provincial Congress was purposely slow to give the go-ahead for independence.
As a result, the colony of New York took a knee rather than standing with the other twelve colonies whose delegates had the courage to confront the most powerful military on the planet at the time.
Yesterday Predicates Today
Today, the self-serving arrogance of New York’s political elites outshines the opportunism of those who previously held their stations. In their declarations, Hochul, James, and Murchan have announced to the country—in the face of an overwhelming national mandate—that they intend to lead a charge against the people’s full-throated choice and the choice of a growing and significant number of voters in the State of New York.
This is a perfect example of the elitism that has gripped not only New York City and “The Empire State” (and especially among those of the woke Leftist class) but also the nation’s many Blue urban areas.
Of the 141.025 million votes cast in the 2024 General Election for President of the United States (roughly 41.8 percent of the American people), New York cast 7.778 million votes. This is for a population of 19.571 million people, or approximately 39.75 percent of those living in New York.
Of those casting a ballot in New York, just 4,341,453 cast a ballot for Kamala Harris, the loser.
So, let’s do some basic math here. Calculating these numbers, Hochul, James, and Mechan advocate for just 1.29 percent of the American people and 22.19 percent of the people in the State of New York, the scant few people who voted for their unique brand of totalitarianism. That’s an extreme minority of the American people and not even a quarter of the people in the state they are supposedly representing.
Yet the Sorosians—Hochul, James, and Merchan—somehow feel they are entitled to create and continue down avenues of political persecution to negate an electoral mandate the American people have delivered to President-Elect Trump. They feel entitled—because of their addiction to power, their loyalty to the far-Left neo-Trotskyism of the Progressive movement, and their lust for political self-preservation—to place the ideological machinations of just 1.29 percent of the American people above that mandate, ignoring the 3,436,961 people of their own state and the 72,837,965 of people nationally who took a stand against exactly the unilateral totalitarianism they bully onto the main stage.
The very important questions that must be asked here are: Who do they actually serve? Who are their masters? When we answer those questions, we—those who voted for a return to constitutionalism and the obliteration of the Deep State bureaucracy—will know where to apply the disinfectant.
This Also Makes Another Case
The far-Left totalitarian indignance of Hochul, James, and Merchan—as well as Newsom in California—also make an incredibly strong case for—and exemplifies why we must keep and defend—the Electoral College.
Simply put, if we don’t maintain the sanctity of the Electoral College, we will be ruled by the Hochuls, the James', the Merchan’s, and the Newsoms; we will be ruled by the whims of those who sit in the elitist seats of power in our nation’s decidedly partisan urban areas.
To acquiesce to the idea of rule by popular vote is to take a knee to the mob and cede power to the Klaus Schwabs, Bill Gates’ and George Soros'; the global elites. The rights of those who live in all but the urban center counties—those who farm our food and make the products we use—will be ignored and essentially become non-existent.
James Madison, noted as the father of the US Constitution (although some would argue he expounded on the work of George Mason), put it quite succinctly when, in Federalist 49, he emphasized the historical perspective against pure democracy, foreseeing today’s need to defend the Electoral College, saying:
“The experience of all former ages had shown that of all human governments, democracy was the most unstable, fluctuating, and short-lived.”
Looking at this map of the 2024 Presidential General Election results by county, we can see how chilling it would be if only the blue areas had a say in how the entire nation was governed.
This is why the actions of Kathy Hochul, Letitia James, and Judge Juan Merchan—along with the long list of lawfare political persecutions facilitated by the Biden-Harris DoJ and Gavin Newsom’s move in California—were and are so threatening to our Republic.
We are going through a great awakening here in the United States with regard to how selfishly corrupt and unlawful the far-Left has come to be. This awakening must continue to take place, and, evidently, especially in New York State.

Now that the election is over—for what that’s worth—(but for the arguing about it all and perhaps some very far-Left disruptions), I believe it’s fair to say that the American people (and I usually hate when a pundit “speaks for” the American people, but I feel I’m safe here) I believe it’s fair to say that we are thoroughly exhausted with all of the unmitigated bullshit the potentate class has been cramming down our throats for the last eight years…non-stop.
I warn you in advance: If you are offended by profanity, well, this podcast segment will not be for you because after all of what this election cycle has put us through, I need to vent, and it’s going to make Dan Bongino’s podcast sound mild. And quite frankly, what I have to say—and how it is being said—is long, long overdue.
This “open letter” is to all of the self-important, elitist, annoying, never-shut-up, activist, ideological, and political potentates—elected and not. It’s time for you all to shut the fuck up and let the American people recover from the onslaught of spin, narrative pushing, disingenuous intellectual manipulation, and outright deceit. Shut up, do your jobs, go about your pathetic, shallow lives, and leave us alone!!
To the media: Your model of opinion journalism and the special interest, partisan editorialization of the news, has failed miserably. That’s why people despise you more than Congress and trust you less than the slimiest shyster lawyers. We’re tired of you elitist, self-important bullshit. We’re exhausted at getting lectured by you and then told when we point out your hypocrisy, that you know better than we how we feel.
How about this? Take your opinion journalism and stuff it so far up your asses that you begin to taste the shit you’ve been dishing out to us for decades? Stick to reporting the facts, but if you simply must masturbate your egos, at least have the courtesy of saving it for an opinion show.
We are tired of the Rachel Maddows, the Lawrence O’Donnells, the Morning Joe’s, and we are nauseated by the entirety of MSNBC and The View. The alphabet news networks have consistently demonstrated that they think the general public is stupid and intellectually malleable in their coverage of anything and everything political and ideological. But they have misread the public. Their credibility is shot. To this reprobate class, you best take a break from your elitist preaching lest you be replaced—once and for all—by alternative media.
Shut…the fuck…up, report the damn facts, and leave it at that.
To the political and elected classes: Do the fucking jobs you were elected and appointed to do and give the partisan, “me, me, me” bullshit a rest. We’re tired of it. We’re tired of government—at every level— needing to make every fucking thing you do an act that benefits your political parties instead of those you were elected to serve. This goes for everyone on both sides of the aisle. Enough!
We’re exhausted from the power trips. We’re tired of the narrative manipulation. We have come to hate the press secretary and spin doctor classes. And we are through with the behind-the-scenes, Deep State jagoffs that defend the grift; from the slimiest offices of K Street to the dimmest offices on Capitol Hill. That goes for the Mark Elias', the David Axelrod’s, the Mark Plouffe’s, the inside-the-beltway PACs and orgs, law firms, and lobbyists, and the entirety of the bottom-feeder Washingtonian white wine set.
And don’t even think about making election campaigning a full-time, 24/7/365 thing like you’ve been doing the last couple of decades. Stop begging for contributions from the people. You get rich off the K Street corporate assholes you carve up the government to serve, so get it from them. Fuck off!
Oh, and lower our fucking taxes or, better yet, scrap the income tax system altogether and restructure everything to glean revenue from our strength—consumerism. Use the thirteen brain cells you all share and start making it easier for the people to attain the American dream, and take your special interest projects and jam them up your asses! Leave us…the fuck…alone and just do the bare minimum so you don’t screw things up any more than you already have. It’s almost unfixable now, thanks to you reprobate assholes!
And to the incessantly whiny activist and community-organizing Karen class: Just shut the fuck up!! Shut up! We are done with you believing you can bully us into doing what you want. We don’t care how “passionate” you are about your “cause” or how entitled you feel about getting your way. Leave us…the fuck…alone. Live your life the way you want to, and stop thinking that we have to care about how you feel. We don’t! And we won’t!
We have put up with enough of your self-important, selfish, narcissistic, self-aggrandizing bullshit to last seven lifetimes over. Fuck you and fuck your feelings. We don’t care if you’re offended, too bad! Grow a thicker skin or crawl away to some bullshit “safe space” and cry yourselves to sleep. You’re a loud minority that has overstayed your time in the spotlight. We…don’t…care. Shut up and leave us, our kids, our schools, our libraries, our civic centers; leave…us…the fuck…alone, you imbecilic, egotistical megalomaniacs. Just shut up and mind your own fucking business.
And this especially goes for the celebrity class…the most useless gaggle of pretenders and hypocrites our country has to offer. Take your egos and neediness, your emotional fragility, and your spoiled rotten attitudes and vanish! If you said you were going to leave the United States if Trump won, well, fucking leave! Get out! Don’t let the locked door hit you in the ass on your way out. Nobody cares about your far-Left, neo-Marxist, pandering, self-serving opinions. Robert DeNiro, go fuck yourself. And that goes for Rob Reiner, Barbara Streisand, Kathy Griffin, Mark Hamill, and the rest of the caustic, useless, elitist, anal sphincters that call themselves entertainers.
We are tired of being called White supremacists and Nazis, tired of being called racists, sexists, and garbage, exhausted at the idea that we must conform to your homogenized, milquetoast, overly delicate sensibilities to keep you from being offended, and we are fucking done with having to conform to your neo-Marxist, globalist world view, and that goes for all of you—from the whiniest Karen to Klaus Schwab, Oprah ‘Maui Compound' Winfrey to Mark Fuckerberg, Bill ‘The Vaccine Jagoff' Gates to Mark ‘The Tiny-Dick Misogynist' Cuban, Joy Behar to Joy Reid. Fuck off —fuck…off—and leave us alone.
We—all of us—want to be left alone, at least for four fucking years. Leave us be. Let us enjoy our lives without having to be inundated with your bullshit, if only for a short while.
We know you’re too weak to stop, intellectually incapable of not falling back into the habits of your self-importance and narcissism, but we just need a fucking break, just so we can catch our breaths.
Make no mistake; the constant eye of scrutiny and oversight will be watching you. You won’t get away with anything. The days of sneaking around behind our backs with your cronies to fleece us and steal our rights and wherewithal are over! You will be surveilled by a people seething with irritation at your self-absorbed neediness, just waiting to pounce, to intellectually and socially disembowel you. And can you blame us? You have been abusing us—abusing your status—for decades. Did you really think we wouldn’t hit a wall?
In closing, dear self-important, elitist, annoying, never-shut-up, activist, ideological and political potentates, fuck your fake appeal for tolerance. Stuff your disingenuous plea for dialoguing up your asses to the point you choke on it. And leave us the fuck alone!!
Now, let’s all be united…Doesn’t that sound just too stupid? Now you know how you all sounded for the last four fucking years.
Shut up and go away!

As we stand on the brink of one of the most crucial presidential and General Elections of our lifetimes, the time to act is now. With November 5th being tomorrow, if you haven’t cast your vote yet, it should be your top priority today or tomorrow. You've had ample time to make your decision, and now it’s time to fulfill your constitutional duty to our country, your fellow citizens, and future generations.
I say “future generations” because this election is not just about the media-contrived personality contest foisted upon the American people by the political and ideological opportunists who hold an ironclad grip on narrative marketing. It’s about the direction of our Republic and whether or not we are setting it up for self-termination.
The damage these opportunists and neo-Marxist provocateurs have done to our society–and, in fact, the people of the free world–is grotesque and unforgivable. A great example of that damage comes to us in a recent Gallup poll highlighted by Statista.com in which they proclaim that “fifty-five percent of Americans polled…in October 2024 said they're either very or somewhat concerned that ex-President Donald Trump is aligned too closely with radicals…”
We have the most openly neo-Marxist presidential and vice presidential candidates in American history in Kamala Harris–whose father taught Marxian economics at Stanford–and Tim Walz–who openly praises communist China–and the people of the United States are polling 55 percent that it is Donald Trump who has connections to radical extremists?
Where is the evidence that could possibly lead someone to that conclusion? That he actually executes diplomacy by talking to our enemies rather than plotting proxy wars against them? Isn’t it better to have a relationship with other world leaders so as to prevent armed conflict? Isn’t “dialoguing” with those holding opposing viewpoints exactly what the hell Democrats and liberals have been saying we should do for the past 60 years?
The only possible explanation for these polling results–this absurdity–is that the narrative merchants have succeeded in advancing their opportunistic storyline of political fiction to a point where the intellectually vulnerable have been captured at fifty-five percent. This is a failure of the education system to cultivate critical thinking skills in our society and a failure of our society to protect truth from ideological bastardization.
Gallup has, many years ago, abdicated its responsibility to truth in deference to profit, influence, and political alignment. So, I am less concerned with being shocked they would push such a complete bullshit poll than I am worried about those they targeted for the manipulated answers.
But like the Associated Press–which is now useless for the purposes of truth, because Gallup has been institutionalized into our culture, people have abandoned their obligation to verify truth before forming an opinion. Couple this with the amplification of unsubstantiated opinion via social media, and we arrive at the recipe for fifty-five percent of the electorate believing that the candidate who isn’t a bonafide neo-Marxist is somehow the one with the radically extreme connections.
When the narrative manipulators of the ideological and political classes control the messaging machine, even good and thinking people fall prey to being led around by the nose. This is how true fascism, socialism, and communism continue to breathe life when these political ideologies have been proven to fail everywhere and every time they are inflicted upon people.
This is what Election Day 2024 is all about, Charlie Brown. It’s not the over-glorified junior high school popularity contest the media, the Harris campaign, the Democrats, and the disingenuous fascistic global elites want you to see it as.
It’s time to execute. It’s time to vote and to make sure all of your freedom-loving friends vote as well. Pick them up and drive them to the polls if you have to. This is not about a singular act of casting a ballot. It’s about advocating for the existence of the only country on the face of the Earth, the only country to exist in human history, to have been brave enough to create a government based on self-governance.
We have gotten away from that to a damaging extent. This election can change that.
The choice is not only clear, but it is also inarguable.

As we head into one of the most contentious elections since the debacle of the recount in 2000, Virginia is entangled in a heated legal battle over its efforts to cleanse approximately 1,600 non-citizens from its voter rolls, an action that highlights the federal government's overreach into state sovereignty.
The state has rightly escalated the matter to the US Supreme Court after a federal judge—appointed by the Biden-Harris administration—blocked these removals. This judicial intervention was spurred by lawsuits from the Biden-Harris Department of Justice, alongside advocacy groups like the League of Women Voters (which has become decidedly partisan to the radical Left in recent years) and the Virginia Coalition for Immigrant Rights. All are arguing that federal regulations prevent Virginia’s changes to voter rolls within 90 days of an election, as dictated by the National Voter Registration Act of 1993.
Governor Glenn Youngkin’s administration, attempting to uphold the integrity of Virginia's electoral process in the face of the Biden-Harris administration’s massive importation of illegal immigrants, issued an executive order for daily voter registration data updates from the Department of Motor Vehicles to identify those who did not affirm US citizenship during license applications.
Virginia's Attorney General, Jason Miyares, has criticized this federal interference, asserting that failure to remove these individuals not only undermines state autonomy but also sows confusion among voters, strains election resources, and suggests to non-citizens that illegal voting is permissible, thus diluting the votes of and disenfranchising legitimate voters.
This scenario underscores a significant conflict between Virginia’s state rights under the 9th and 10th Amendments and what many see as overbearing and unconstitutional federal election interference. It raises questions of whether current federal laws are unconstitutionally overly restrictive and detrimental to maintaining electoral integrity at the state level.
I cite the 9th and 10th Amendments as they mandate the following, respectively:
“The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”
And:
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
So, according to the text of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, it is the purview of the state to, among other provisions, establish federal election voter registration procedures and to protect the integrity of the electoral process by assuring an accurate and current voter registration roll for elections for Federal office.
Aside from the fact that Youngkin’s executive order upholds the direction of the legislation, one overarching point—and it’s a big one—comes into play.
The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 unconstitutionally usurps the authority of the State of Virginia—and all other states—to conduct its state elections by effectively nullifying the 9th and 10th Amendments.
Underground USA is reader-supported…Please consider becoming a paid subscriber
The Constitution does not explicitly grant the federal government broad, direct authority over state or local elections, therefore the prescription mandated under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 violates both Amendments.
Over time—and specifically, since the Wilson administration and the puss-like eruption of neo-Marxist progressivism in the United States, abusing opportunistic interpretations of the Commerce Clause, the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, and other regulatory provisions, Congress has enacted laws that unconstitutionally influence or regulate aspects of state election processes, under the disingenuous guise of ensuring the right to vote free from racial discrimination.
The far-Left has been playing this deceitful game ever since they realized they could bastardize and abuse the Civil Rights movement to their opportunistic benefit.
This is a perfect opportunity for Virginia’s state government to band together to invoke nullification to assure their state’s free and fair elections.
Since the federal government, through its arrogance and greed for centralized power, is blatantly seeking to co-opt—completely—the authority over Virginia’s elections, the State of Virginia’s use of nullification in refusing to recognize the authority of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 over their voter rolls is an appropriate use of that action.
Make no mistake, the far-Left and Obama 2.0 are not going to go quietly into the night should Harris-Walz be defeated on November 5th. They will use lawfare at every turn to attempt to steal the will of the people for their own transformative purposes; for their lust for power, their greed for control.
As was said in Madson Square Garden, it is time to “Dream big again,” and in order to do that, we need leaders brave enough to think outside the box to cut off the balls of an aggressive, constitution-usurping neo-Marxist Left through all legal means possible.
As I wrote in my book, Nullification: The Case for Decentralizing the Federal Government, the utilization of nullification by the states against an aggressive totalitarian wannabe federal government is an indispensable tool in protecting the Constitution and Bill of Rights without resorting to a bloody second US Civil War.
If your state is experiencing pushback from the federal government for wanting to maintain its voter rolls accurately, this is one of those times to engage with your state governments. Grab a copy of this short book and send it to a receptive member of your state legislature or governor, urging them to protect your state's sovereignty through the use of nullification today.

To say that this election is one of critical importance is to make an understatement of historical proportions. Never before has so much hinged on how the American people vote. We truly stand at a crossroads. In one direction is—as Barack Obama declared in 2008—the fundamental transformation of the United States of America, and in the other a return to constitutionalism to repair our severely damaged Constitutional Republic.
But in a more contemporary opportunity, we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that we—as a society, as a center-right society—cannot pass up. We have an opportunity to render the hateful and divisive energy of the Machiavellian identity politics game—that Barack Obama and his masked Marxists have unleashed on our country—to the ash heap of history, ending one of the darkest and most divisively subversive periods in American history.
Anyone who is being honest has come to realize that the Progressive ideology—of which Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, not to mention Kamala Harris—emanate is an ideology fully krausened in neo-Marxism. At its roots, at its genesis, progressive neo-Marxism spits on the idea of opportunity for all through equality and individualism and, instead, seeks to install equity outcomes through the totalitarian hand of centralized government and a centrally-planned society, both of which are grotesquely antithetical to freedom and liberty unencumbered by government intervention.
Yes, this Machiavellian master plan started with Wilson, advanced under Roosevelt and Johnson, and became the “new normal” under Clinton. But it kicked into an arrogant and elitist high gear with Obama and the Obama 2.0 reign. In fact, the arrogance rose to such a level that Obama and Hillary Clinton themselves see this moment as one in which they can cross the transformative goal line to spike the ball.
But there is a wrench that has been tossed into the machine, and today, the progressive neo-Marxist, neo-Bolshevik Left is absolutely petrified that they have overplayed their hands. This reality is manifesting in plummeting poll numbers of the Harris-Walz campaign and Senate races in which traditionally center-left Democrats are abandoning the divisive social issue policies to align themselves with the center-right policies of Donald Trump and conservatives.
Nothing illustrates this panic better than the full-on application of fear porn and deceit that Barack Obama himself is trolling out on the campaign trail on behalf of the intellectual midget that is Kamala Harris, and I apologize to all the midgets out there:
Obama’s full-throated, Machiavellian divide-and-conquer identity politics of smear, untruth, and deceit is in full swing there, and his attempt to shame “the brothers”—he only trots that crap and his bullshit ethnic accent when he is pandering to the Black community— is transparent in its desperation.
And then the indignant prick had the unmitigated gall to say this:
The hypocrisy makes me want to vomit.
And then we have the vice-dolt-in-chief, Kamala Harris, rolling out the old standby, “Trump is Hitler,” in one of the lamest attempts at stoking fear that the American people have seen since the propaganda campaign of the imperialist Japanese and Tokyo Rose during World War II:
Important to note is this. Both of these attempts to stoke fear took place in Pennsylvania, a must-win state for the Harris-Walz campaign and where evidence in exit polling suggests traditionally reliable voters—especially Black voters—are abandoning the Democrat Party in startling numbers.
This all culminates in this singular point. This election is so much more than the contrived, over-glorified junior high school popularity contest the mainstream media complex is trying to impose upon the American people. It is not about whether you like Kamala Harris or hate Donald Trump enough to vote one way or another. It is about that crossroads and choosing which direction our Republic travels from here. Do we continue down the liberty-killing road to totalitarian-ruled serfdom with a vote for Kamala Harris and a vote for the fundamental transformation of the United States of America? Or do we vote for Donald Trump and a return to constitutionalism to repair our severely damaged Constitutional Republic so that liberty and freedom—so that representative government that serves the people—is preserved for our children and future generations?
I begged anyone who would listen in 2008 not to allow the neo-Marxism of Barack Obama to ooze out of the Chicago machine, to allow that neo-Bolshevik genie to escape the bottle. Once out, I warned, it would take divine intervention to jam that destructive genie back into the bottle.
Well, miracles do exist, evidently, because we have an opportunity—now that Obama has exposed himself as the wannabe tyrant kingmaker he always envisioned himself to be— to end Obama’s national and international influence, once and for all. We have an opportunity to cut his political balls off and, at the same time, send a definitive message to the neo-Marxist Left that their moment in the sun has ended. We have an opportunity to say to Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Kamal Harris, AOC, and the rest of the far-Left tyrants of the progressive movement—and I paraphrase Ronald Reagan when I say: You and I have the courage to say to these neo-Marxists; to these “enemies from within”—and that’s precisely who these subversive insurrectionists of the ideological far-Left are, “enemies existing within; the American Fifth Column, there is a point beyond which you will not advance and that point has arrived.
This election cycle, we have the unique opportunity to extend a mighty middle finger to the race-baiting, identity politics, Marxist hustler that is Barack Obama. For the love of all that’s Holy, please don’t let the mainstream media complex fool you into believing this is a referendum on Donald Trump. It’s so, so much more than that!

As we get down to brass tacks where the issue of the election and voter fraud is concerned, many people are asking what can be done to reduce the chances of voter fraud taking place and, especially, what we can do to make sure that none of the 10 million to 20 million illegals immigrants now in our country vote illegally in our election.
It is always smart to explore who should be notified when you witness voting irregularities at the polling place. You can determine the proper chain of communications by contacting your county election commission, county district attorney’s office, and/or state election authority. Put these contact cards on your cell phone for immediate and easy access.
But there is one authority that can be lobbied to action with the authority to act in real-time. That authority is your county sheriff.
A Sheriff’s Jurisdiction, Purpose & Function
Sheriffs in the United States hold a unique position within the framework of law enforcement due to several factors.
Typically, a sheriff's primary jurisdiction is county-wide. This includes unincorporated areas of the county and any municipalities that contract with the sheriff's office for law enforcement services. Unlike city police, whose jurisdiction ends at city limits, sheriffs have authority across the county. This can sometimes lead to overlapping responsibilities with other authorities, with sheriffs often taking a superseding role.
Sheriffs are responsible for a broader range of duties than typical city police officers. These duties include operating county jails, providing security for courthouses and county buildings, serving warrants and court documents, law enforcement in areas not covered by municipal police, and sometimes acting as coroners or conducting autopsies, particularly in less populated counties.
Recently, sheriffs' authorities have expanded and become particularly notable for several reasons.
Sheriffs are predominantly elected officials, which gives them a direct mandate from the public. This election process can lead to a greater degree of independence from local government oversight compared to appointed police chiefs, allowing for more discretion in how they enforce laws.
The role of the sheriff dates back to medieval England and has a legacy of broad authority. In the United States, this role has adapted but retained significant power, especially in rural areas where the sheriff might very well be the most prominent or only law enforcement presence.
Court rulings have occasionally affirmed or expanded the powers of sheriffs, like in cases where sheriffs have challenged federal laws or when their role in local law enforcement has been upheld against encroachment by other agencies.
This brings me to my overarching point where the authority of our county sheriffs is concerned: Immigration Enforcement.
Sheriffs, Illegal Immigrants & Elections
Some sheriffs have taken on roles in immigration enforcement, especially in border states or counties with significant immigrant populations. Their involvement can range from cooperating with federal immigration authorities to actively detaining undocumented immigrants, which has expanded their role significantly in recent years.
The authority of a sheriff over an election polling place in the United States can be understood through several lenses:
Security & Order: A sheriff or their deputies are often responsible for maintaining peace and order at polling places. This includes preventing disturbances, ensuring that no one is intimidated or obstructed from voting, and dealing with any criminal activity, such as voter intimidation or disruption. They might be present or have deputies stationed at polling places, especially in contentious elections or areas with a history of electoral disputes, to ensure that the voting process is conducted smoothly.
Enforcement of Election Laws: While the primary enforcement of voting rights might fall to election officials or federal authorities in cases of significant violations, sheriffs can ensure that local and state election laws are followed. This includes addressing issues like illegal campaigning too close to the polling place or ensuring that only authorized individuals are in areas where voting occurs. Sheriffs can enforce laws against electioneering at or near polling places, which involves campaigning or trying to influence voters within a certain distance from where voting occurs.
Response to Violations: If any criminal activity occurs, like assault, voter fraud, or significant disruption, sheriffs have the authority to make arrests or detain individuals until further legal action can be taken.
Coordination with Election Officials: Sheriffs often coordinate with election officials. While election officials manage the voting process, sheriffs support it by ensuring the environment around voting is safe and lawful. They might respond to calls from election judges or clerks regarding any issues that require law enforcement.
It is important to note here that sheriffs don’t have authority over the election process itself. They cannot administratively decide who can vote, count votes, or interfere with the voting or tabulation process. Their role is protective but law-enforcement-related.
Sheriffs must also be aware of federal laws regarding elections, including the Voting Rights Act, which prohibits racial discrimination in voting. Their actions at polling places must not infringe on anyone's civil rights. But this authority also includes preserving the sanctity of the ballot box, which includes guarding against the illegal dilution of the citizenry’s votes.
It Can Be As Simple As…
In all honesty, a sheriff’s ability to thwart illegal immigrants from committing voter fraud can be as simple as maintaining a presence outside polling places and very publicly issuing preemptive statements that election law—including the prevention of illegal ballots being cast—will be enforced regardless of what either political party has advocated.
In the end, We the People, don’t necessarily need to wait for our corrupt federally elected officials to overcome their Deep States masters and pass meaningful election reform laws that actually defend citizens' right to vote and the sanctity of the ballot box.
All we need are sheriffs with balls…

The latest attack talking point being marshaled for the Harris-Walz campaign by the Obama 2.0 team and their sycophantic mainstream media mouthpieces is that Donald Trump is calling half of the American electorate “enemies from within” and that he is prepared to unleash the US military onto his foes. Of course, this is unmitigated bullshit of the highest order.
A more perfect example of unsubstantiated fear porn has seldom been seen or heard. The Harris-Walz-Obama 2.0 team had to contort and edit, cherry-picked soundbites into shapes that origami experts would envy to arrive at the current disingenuous narrative.
Both Harris and Walz—along with the usual suspects on cable news—are floating this absurd idea:
Of course, just like everything that oozes out of Harris’s reptilian mouth, there isn’t a shred of truth to it.
As Megyn Kelly pointed out on her podcast on Wednesday:
The Harris-Walz-Obama 2.0 crew is so infuriatingly disingenuous—and arrogantly so—that this election needs to be a landslide message against the far-Left that the American people are simply done with their—now obvious—soft Marxist revolution.
In fact, when you examine what Trump said—as exposed by Kelly—he was alluding to the radical, unimpeded violence perpetrated by the radical Left that plagued his first administration, violence that was promoted and facilitated by the far-Left elected and activist classes through their Black Lives Matter (BLM) and Antifa proxy protest groups.
From 2016 onward, the United States experienced a series of ongoing protests that almost always escalated into violence.
The BLM movement began in 2013 but gained significant momentum after the death of George Floyd in May 2020—six months before the 2020 General Elections. These protests spread nationwide, with Minneapolis becoming an epicenter of unrest. Violence erupted in just about every major US city, with incidents of arson, vandalism, and confrontations with law enforcement. The scale of destruction was significant in some areas, leading to billions in property damage across the US.
Antifa activists were almost always present at BLM protests, especially in cities like Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York City. Their involvement was always marked by direct confrontations with police and counter-protesters, property damage, and attempts at true constitutional insurrection to create autonomous zones, like the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone in Seattle.
In each outbreak of violence across the nation, one thing presented as a common denominator. The urban areas plagued by the continuing violence had Democrat-led governments that refused to serve the general public in keeping the peace; in maintaining law and order. And anyone with half a brain understood it was all for political gain looking to the election; a manufactured, condoned, and facilitated chaos meant to sway an election in favor of Biden-Harris-Obama 2.0.
These are the “enemies within” that Donald Trump is talking about: the anarchists, the far-Left Progressive activists, the Marxists, the neo-Bolsheviks; those who make up Obama 2.0, just as they made up Obama 1.0, the people puppeteering the Harris-Walz ticket as we speak. The American Fifth Column.
Now that we have defined who Trump was referring to, his declaration makes sense, doesn’t it? Setting entire cities on fire and executing violence in the streets—destroying peoples' livelihoods and lives' works isn’t about redressing government. It is a criminal act of unlawful violence. Looting isn’t a political statement; it’s opportunistic theft. And those who condone and facilitate these unlawful acts are just as guilty of these crimes as those who are executing the criminal acts.
The primary purpose of government—and, in fact, the only legitimate purpose of government—is to keep the citizenry safe under the rule of law. There are no exceptions to that responsibility, and it applies to all citizens, not just the preferred classes as defined by the Machiavellian activist class that is trying to Balkanize the American people for their electoral benefit.
Yes, Virginia, there is an “enemy within.” They are the American Fifth Column who seek the fundamental transformation of the United States of America from a Constitutional Republic to a Socialist Democracy. This is the Harris-Walz ticket, as was the Biden-Harris ticket before them and the Obama-Biden ticket before them. This is the entirety of the Obama and Progressive movements, and you damn well better start realizing that this choice—the choice on which direction our country is going to travel—is on the ballot on November 5th.
Then, when we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL AM930 & FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.
And please remember the people who lost everything during the current storms, especially the people in Western North Carolina, Eastern Tennessee, and Northern Georgia. Just because the mainstream media complex has moved on from the story doesn’t mean they still don’t need our help’ materially, financially, and at the ballot box.

I wanted to take an unusual—but evidently necessary—detour from politics, the election, and world events today to set the record straight on the history of Christopher Columbus.
Today is the day we celebrate the achievements of Columbus—and seeing as the far-Left has Columbus in its crosshairs as one of its targets in their re-writing of history campaign, someone needs to point out the facts of the matter.
Christopher Columbus, during his voyages in the late 15th century, never actually set foot on what is now considered the mainland of North America. He did not “discover America” and he never met or came across an Native American Indian. Therefore, he had no part—no part—in any history that involved Native American Indians.
In fact, there are several misnomers about Columbus that anyone paying attention in world history class would already know. But since we don’t teach accurate history anymore—and if you are relying on the history books authored by Howard Zinn, you have a politically and ideologically polluted version of revisionist history—because we don’t teach accurate accounts of history anymore in our schools, these falsehoods havebeen repeated again and again and again.
But let’s clear some up…
* Educated Europeans in Columbus's time, including his contemporaries, knew the Earth was round. The dispute was about the Earth's circumference, not its shape. Columbus underestimated the Earth's size, believing he could reach Asia by sailing west rather than encountering the Americas.
* Columbus did not "discover" America in any meaningful sense. Indigenous peoples were already living here, and Norse explorers, particularly Leif Erikson, reached the continent around the year 1000, nearly 500 years before Columbus. Additionally, other Europeans are recorded as having made landfall before Columbus; however, his voyages did lead to sustained contact between Europe and the Americas.
* Columbus died believing he had reached Asia, not a new continent. His initial goal was to find a direct sea route to Asia, not to "discover" new lands. And as mentioned, Columbus never set foot on the mainland of what is now the United States. His explorations were limited to the Caribbean islands, parts of Central America, and the South American coast.
* The mutiny on the Santa Maria was due to the crew's frustration over the seemingly endless voyage with no land in sight, not because they believed they would fall off the Earth. And it is worthy to note here that the three ships of Columbus's first voyage, the Santa Maria, the Pinta, and the Niña, were small by modern standards. The Santa Maria, the largest, was only about 100 feet long.

As to Columbus' landings:
* On his first voyage, which took place from 1492 to 1493, Columbus landed on several Caribbean islands, including what are now known as the Bahamas, Cuba, and Hispaniola (which is today divided into Haiti and the Dominican Republic).
* On his second voyage, which took place from 1493 to 1496, he explored more of the Caribbean, establishing settlements on Hispaniola and discovering other islands, including Puerto Rico and Jamaica.
* On Columbus' third voyage, taking place from1498 to 1500, he reached the South American mainland, landing in what is now Venezuela, and explored more of the Caribbean islands.
* And on his fourth and final voyage, from 1502 to 1504, he explored the coast of Central America, landing in places like Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama.
So, Columbus did not land in what is commonly referred to as North America. His explorations were primarily in the Caribbean islands and along the northern coast of South America, as well as Central America.
It is likely that the first documented European to reach the North American mainland was John Cabot in 1497, who explored parts of the northeast coast of North America, perhaps reaching what is now Newfoundland and/or Nova Scotia.
Do you see how the activists and the revisionist historians pervert the actual accounts of history to demonize the innocent—and in this case, a captain and crew that braved the unknown to help map the world?
You may ask why anyone would do this. Well, the answer is simple, if not diabolically so. Those who control history have the ability to manipulate the way people see the present. It’s all about power and control. That’s why an accurate recounting of history is so important. That’s why an accurate knowledge of history is relevant to the present…and the future.
So, now that you know the truth about Columbus, when do we start re-erecting the statues honoring him that the far-Left activists demanded we pull down?
And please remember the people who lost everything during the current storms, especially the people in Western North Carolina, Eastern Tennessee, and Northern Georgia. Just because the mainstream media complex has moved on from the story doesn’t mean they still don’t need our help’ materially, financially, and at the ballot box.

One of the most pressing issues arising from the aftermaths of Hurricanes Helene and Milton—outside of the loss of life, immense damage, and pathetic response by the federal government—is this. The people most affected by the storm will have a very difficult time voting on November 5th if that subject is even remotely on their radar at this point.
One can hardly blame anyone who has lost everything they own for not keeping the issue of the election front and center as a priority, even though the response from the federal government—and some of the state governments—has been insufficient and, in many cases, obstructive. It should be a significant issue in this election.
However, a fact remains that cannot be argued. The overwhelming number of counties affected by the storm paths were Red-voting counties. Population-wise, it is unclear whether the numbers of conservative, constitutionalist, and Republican voters affected will balance with the number of far-Left and Democrat voters. But looking at the areas affected, there is a good chance there will be a deficit to the Democrats' advantage given the lopsided urban populations of Ashville and Winston-Salem in North Carolina, Augusta and Savanah in Georgia, and Tampa and St. Petersburg in Florida.
The Path That Might Affect The Vote
In Georgia, Hurricane Helene’s effects were felt across 53 counties. These counties predominantly voted conservative and Republican in the 2020 election, with 57.3% of the votes reflecting that fact.
Similarly, North Carolina's western part includes heavily Republican counties that have been designated eligible for FEMA aid, indicating a level of devastation that will undoubtedly hinder the ability of those affected to cast ballots. In those locations, 51.6% of the vote in 2020 went for the conservative (or Republican) candidates.
The physical destruction and logistical challenges in North Carolina – specifically – will directly affect voter turnout. Traditional polling stations are either inaccessible or non-existent. If mail-in ballots are delayed due to postal service disruptions, the vote in affected areas will be suppressed.
While this might not change voter preference, it will reduce the overall number of votes cast for conservative candidates if those voters cannot vote.
Given that these areas are predominantly conservative in nature, the lower voter turnout will disadvantage conservative, constitutionalist, and Republican candidates. And even though emergency voting measures have been implemented in many election authority jurisdictions throughout the affected areas, there is no guarantee they will be adequately effective. Today, the election results and the entirety of the General Election, nationally, could be affected by this disaster.
That is unless the rest of the electorate in the affected states—and/or enough voters across the country—turn out to compensate for the disenfranchisement, ensuring that the good people of Western North Carolina, Eastern Tennessee, and Northern Georgia are represented at the ballot box in the exercise of their constitutional rights to vote.
We Can Help The People In WesternNorth Carolina With More Than Just Money
Today, the immediate need for the people affected by these storms is material and physical aid and assistance. I have consistently posted links to credible organizations—all with high ratings by CharityNavigator.org:
* Samaritan’s Purse
* The Salvation Army
* The Cajun Navy Relief
* MercuryOne
* Best Friends Animal Society
But tomorrow is a completely different issue. Tomorrow, in the context of the November 5th General Election, has ramifications well beyond the immediate future. In fact, it has ramifications for decades to come, given the massive rebuilding efforts that will have to be undertaken in the affected areas—and the incredible efforts it will take to keep the dark claws of organizations like BlackRock and Vanguard from swooping in and exploiting the disaster for their benefit by gobbling up land appropriated through government land acquisition sleight-of-hand.
That means that another avenue of benevolence has opened up—out of the ashes, another way has been created to help our fellow neighbors.
If you are disgusted by today’s politics (and who isn’t), you may be tempted to sit this election out. Some sources have as many as 31 percent of conservative Christians indicating that they will forgo casting a ballot in this upcoming election.
Many undecided and independent voters are considering doing the same.
Now you have a reason—a reason steeped in benevolence for your fellow Americans, for your neighbors—to get to the polls and cast a ballot: To help represent someone who can’t cast a vote because of a disaster and an inadequate response from the very federal emergency management agencies who take our tax dollars to execute that mission.
As previously stated, those affected by the storms—and who will be disenfranchised from voting—vote overwhelmingly conservative; they vote predominantly for Republican candidates. So, in the names of the disenfranchised—if you care to help those who cannot do for themselves, show up at the polls on November 5th (or preferably to vote early) and cast your votes for the conservative, constitutionalist, or Republican candidates in their place.
North Carolina and Georgia are critical swing states, and the storm's devastation will debilitate local voter turnout for the November 5th General Election. The storm’s impact will present both physical and logistical challenges, not to mention challenges to the vote-counting and certification efforts.
But that doesn’t have to be the case…not if those still on the fence about voting use benevolence as a motivation to cast a ballot in representing those who are forbidden from voting for themselves, through no fault of their own. If enough states go Red, we can compensate for the loss of votes resulting from these natural disasters, rendering them—electorally—moot.

This will be the third podcast I am doing that focuses exclusively on the incredible damage and destruction caused in western North Carolina, eastern Tennessee, and all the locations in its path, but focused primarily on North Carolina and Tennessee.
Those of us looking on from afar can only do what we can to convey the utter devastation that has affected those areas. It is horrendous.
But better than the onlookers explaining what is happening, it is much more effective—chilling, frightening, in fact—to facilitate the words of people who are there and have been lucky enough to get the word out about what they are going through.
Some of these clips can be long, but I am warning you now, that every word is either heart-wrenching or infuriating. The only way you can turn away from these reports is to exist as cold-blooded and heartless.
The first clip is a passionate and heart-breaking plea from a resident in the affected area:
The next clip comes from a volunteer worker who expounds on the intentional obstacles FEMA is putting in place for the rescue workers who – are primarily volunteers and private citizens:
The next clip comes courtesy of a personal friend, Connie, who lives in North Carolina. It features a water rescue worker with years of experience on the job. You will notice that as the accounts are presented, they both get worse and corroborate the reports as worse than being reported:
This next clip was sent to me by a Florida friend, Bill, and features a member of the Florida State Guard – Special Missions Unit:
This next clip features a volunteer with boots on the ground at a relief materials aid staging area at the Ashville airport and, again, expounds on FEMA's obstruction, incompetence, and dereliction of duty. Facebook says this is disinformation:
And this clip features a citizen journalist who has boots on the ground – and who is engaged in rescue efforts – who does his best to explain how fed up those affected are with the piss-poor FEMA and federal government response, to include the county sheriffs in the region who are banding together to take a stand:
We as a people need to do everything we can to help our fellow Americans in this time of need. In a United States where the federal government actually functioned for the benefit of the people instead of non-citizen globalists and – exclusively – the elitist class, such as it exists today, every asset at the government’s disposal would be employed to aid Americans first – an idea that the narcissistic and despicable far-Left terms as being selfish…even as they ignore the pleas from those desperate for help of any kind.
When we come back, I’ll get into the politics being played on this issue – and it is stunning that anyone has the gall to be playing political games with a situation like this and the one that’s coming with Hurricane Milton, which is bearing down on the Florida Peninsula. This administration and its supporters make me sick.
As the good, hardworking people of western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee – especially – but all of them who have been devastated by Hurricane Helene, and who will be in their position after Hurricane Milton, Don’t expect any adequate response from your federal government. Any response will be jam-packed with bureaucratic red tape and have strings attached that only the evil would tether to humanitarian aid. And it’s all for the purpose of attaining and holding on to power and greed.
Over the years, I have talked about the hyper-politicization of our government. Disgustingly, this has enveloped the government’s obligation to provide emergency relief and services to its people in their time of need. The Biden-Harris administration has become the gold-standard, the epitome, of political opportunism; where everything, even when people are dying, has to have a political angle to their benefit.
Make no mistake, there is no benevolence in any actions Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have ever undertaken. Everything has a self-serving motive.
In a time when our president should be ignoring politics to serve his people – people in need, instead, we have a president – a grifting, reprobate, self-enriching asshole, who has an affinity for lying through his teeth, who claims credit for things he didn’t do, hasn’t done, and doesn’t plan to do.
In this next clip, we hear Joe Biden – and just saying his name makes me nauseous at this point, claiming credit for what Donald Trump set up and what Elon Musk deployed:
Now, just to illustrate how black-hearted and despicably unengaged the Biden administration is on the Helene issue, listen to what Biden has to say about how he believes the people of North Caroline feel about the federal government’s response:
This man is completely self-serving, an arrogant, imbecile, a monster. And, frankly, anyone who supports him is also an ignorant, self-important, selfish monster.
And while our neighbors, our brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, extended family, and friends beg for help, we have a cold-blooded reptilian of a Democrat presidential candidate in Kamala Harris, who crows about facilitating $157 million in humanitarian aid for Lebanon, while seeking a pat on the back for a delayed payment on $750 to the victims in North Carolina, that requires repayment in a year lest they lose their land for the balance:
If that were reptilian enough, if that were nauseatingly out of touch enough, Harris and her assholian campaign team comprised of the goose-stepping Marxists of Obama 2.0, attempted to politicize the events surrounding Hurricane Milton to her political benefit.
Harris took to the microphones to chide Florida’s governor, Ron DeSantis, for not taking her phone calls as he prepared his state to get hit by a Category 5 hurricane:
There’s only one problem with that. Harris has no official role in any natural disaster emergency response. She isn’t part of that process. She’s not the “hurricane czar,” she hasn’t been appointed the front person by the president, and she has no role at FEMA. She is inserting herself – for political purposes exclusively – into the situation to score political points and to attempt to salvage her declining poll numbers. DeSantis handed Harris her ass on a plate:
This woman is as selfish, narcissistic, and self-serving as they come. Snakes have warmer blood than this demonic fiend, yet she continues her Goebbels-esque mantra that Donald Trump is a selfish narcissist. This is quintessential projection and imbecilic Marxists always project who they are onto others.
If all of this weren’t disgusting enough, if all of this weren’t infuriating enough, now come reports that the globalist elite, in the form of BlackRock and Vanguard, both major investors in a company called Albemarle, are quietly waiting for the devastation in North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee to be permanent and complete.
Why? Because the world’s largest lithium deposit is located beneath the devastated areas. Keep in mind that lithium is used for electric car batteries and who would benefit from that? That’s right, the elite and the connected.
By the way, Kamala Harris' husband, Doug Emhoff—the girlfriend-slapping, misogynist, soi-boy—has a sizeable investment in the BackRock, Vanguard, and Albemarle endeavor.
A trusted source who is working on an in-depth, source-based accounting of this lithium story, in a message, told me:
“A high-ranking FEMA representative said in order to get your property inspected you have to sign a contract. In the, contract in very, very small print, it says if you haven’t paid back any money you taken as emergency aid in a year, the government has a right to take your property as repayment. That’s the plan in North Carolina so they can mine the lithium in the mountains [a move] the residents have been fighting for a long time. Kamala’s husband in a major stockholder in BlackRock and the mining company. It’s said the mine can make $250 billion a year.”
Is the picture of why the federal government is slow-walking its disaster relief response coming into focus yet? Why there is “no money” for disaster relief? Why those who are elected to serve and protect the American people are letting our neighbors starve and die?
My friends, paint this picture for yourselves. When all is said and done and all the bodies are counted, the death toll from Hurricane Helene – not to mention Hurricane Milton – will exceed those lost on September 11th, 2001. We went to war over that!
From that perspective, how are the actions of the federal government, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Alejandro Mayorkas, Chuck Schumer, Doug Emhoff, and the rest of the Deep State elitist assholes not criminal?
If the lithium mining story is verifiably true – and we will be digging into this, BlackRock, Vanguard, and Albemarle must be held to task. With regard to BlackRock and Vanguard, perhaps even broken up and dissolved pursuant to anti-Trust laws. It can’t be about 401ks and IRAs if the two biggest investment funds in the world – who have their hands up our elected officials assess – are scheming to kill thousands for profit.
I will say this again: It is time to consider whether it’s even worth having a federal government at all if this is the way they are going to abuse the American people.
A quick word about Facebook. They are aggressively going after conservatives and conservative groups and are ramping up their censorship efforts on critical emergency response and political issues. Like a bad drug or alcohol addiction, please wean yourself off Facebook and explore other platforms that support free speech. X is one. Gab is another.
Please join UndergroundUSA.com. It’s a substack publication, so there is little chance of censorship, and there are short-form social media elements—Notes and Chat—that let you speak your mind. These lines of communication are important.
Lastly—and perhaps most importantly—please support those organizations that are actually doing the work our federal government is refusing to do. We must step up to help our neighbors. That’s what Americans do.

As the efforts to aid the people affected by Hurricane Helene continue, the news coming out of North Carolina about the actions of the federal government and FEMA is more than disturbing. It appears that the actions taken by the FAA and FEMA are contrary to their chartered missions and seditious.
Elon Musk took to X to expose—through his SpaceX engineers with boots on the ground in North Carolina—that not only are FEMA and the FAA not helping them re-establish emergency communications and deliver critical emergency supplies to the affected, but both agencies are destructive to the effort.
In the case of the FAA, it’s about bureaucratic procedure, which should have been suspended to prioritize humanitarian efforts.
According to Musk, “The level of belligerent government incompetence is staggering!!” In a posting on X, one of Musk’s engineers stated:
“They are now about to shut down the Air space to ‘regulate’ the private choppers we are riding in to deliver Starlink and supplies. We are pushing back with Trump team as well to help us, but not looking good…The largest concern for us here is the FAA throttling flights for our choppers, where they are requiring To/From information and mission now to deliver a discrete code. Doing this takes a long time and very cumbersome to the ops. This is the largest concern and most help we could use.”
There is no good reason humanitarian aid flights, including the delivery of communications systems, should be obstructed. Yet here we are. And ignorance of the effort is not an excuse. Musk has been in contact with the national disgrace that is Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who is slow-walking responses and running interference for what can only be interpreted as an obstructive effort of political motivation, seeing as 98 percent of the counties affected are RED counties.
In an exchange between Buttigieg – who has consistently been derelict in his duties as Transportation Secretary (in fact, you would be hard-pressed to point out one accomplishment of his in that role), Buttigieg said:
“No one is shutting down the airspace and FAA doesn’t block legitimate rescue and recovery flights. If you’re encountering a problem give me a call.”
This statement inferred that Musk’s efforts are not “legitimate.”
Musk responded:
“There are hundreds of reports of FEMA/FAA blocking flights. This literally just happened. Still waiting…the helicopter is trying to land to deliver critical supplies. What’s the number to call?”
To date, it appears Buttigieg hasn’t replied to Musk. He is a depraved tyrant and a stooge of the Marxist Left that doesn’t give a damn about anyone he can’t fake breastfeed from a fake tit!
Keep in mind that this is after the Asheville Regional Airport issued a statement saying:
“Beginning at 2:30pm on Wednesday, Oct. 2, Asheville Regional Airport will permit only General Aviation aircraft with prior FEMA clearance to land at the airport to ensure the safety of aircraft and personnel.”
As for the dastardly actions of FEMA, which raided the emergency fund allocated to it to advance the Biden-Harris open borders political scheme to the tune of $1 billion over the last year-and-a-half, and whose chief, impeached DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, said has no more money to execute its mission for the rest of the fiscal year? Well, according to a SpaceX engineer in a first-hand account:
“FEMA is not merely failing to adequately help people in trouble, but is actively blocking citizens who try to help!...The big issue is FEMA is actively blocking shipments and seizing goods and services locally and locking them away to state they are their own. It’s very real and scary how much they have taken control to stop people helping. We are blocked now on the shipments of new starlinks coming in until we get an escort from the fire dept. but that may not be enough.”
This is unacceptable at every level. At any other time in American history, the President of the United States would have fired the DHS Secretary, the Transportation Secretary, and possibly the Interior Secretary for gross dereliction of duty. But we have a politically motivated imbecile as President, so that won’t happen.
At any other time in American history, a Congress that actually served the people instead of their political parties would have impeached and convicted Buttigieg and Mayorkas, removing them from office. Instead, today, we have reprobates like Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell, Hakeem Sekou Jeffries, and the rest of the caustically partisan political whores who only think about elections and the retention of power.
And yet again, at any other time in American history, we would see the governors of states affected by this disaster nullifying FEMA’s orders, superseding the FAA with a regional responsive take-over of the affected airspace to coordinate air traffic to prioritize humanitarian aid. Today, because North Carolina’s governor is a knob-goggler of a weak-kneed, spineless partisan hack, we will never even see him considering the idea.
All of this is outrageous, and we – as a people – should be incensed with rage at this additional nugget of spendthrift federal government globalist charity.
On October 4th, just days after Mayorkas told reporters that FEMA is out of operational funding for the rest of the fiscal year, the US federal government – the Biden-Harris administration – announced, through a State Department press release, the awarding of $157 million to Lebanon for humanitarian aid:
“The United States will provide nearly $157 million in new US humanitarian assistance to support populations affected by conflict in Lebanon and the region. This funding will address new and existing needs of internally displaced persons and refugee populations inside Lebanon and the communities that host them. The assistance will also support those fleeing to neighboring Syria.
“This life-saving assistance from the American people includes nearly $82 million immediately available through the Department of State’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration and $75 million through the United States Agency for International Development’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance. Of this total, USAID has already deployed $11.5 million, and working with Congress plans to make another $63.5 million available in the coming weeks, to ensure that vital humanitarian assistance can continue to reach the most vulnerable communities in need. This emergency food, shelter, blankets, hygiene kits, protection, water, and sanitation assistance will be a critical lifeline for those who have endured unimaginable hardships.”
Are you fucking kidding me?! Are you fucking kidding me?!
Our federal government cares more about people in a decades-old war zone halfway around the world than it does its own citizens? We have $157 million to give away to foreign nationals, many who spit on the idea of America every Friday during “prayer,” but FEMA is out of money to execute its responsibilities to the American people?
One post on Subtack Notes reports an X post by “Nashville Angela” stating:
“There are reports that Mission Hospital in Asheville North Carolina was told today, that they will be the morgue for body recovery. As of a few days ago, there were reports of 900+ bodies at the hospital that haven’t been identified. There are also reports of babies and children washing up in the river, and more reports of bodies in trees. An insurance agent, Hana’s teammates, went to drop off supplies in Asheville and set up relief tents yesterday. While setting up, they saw four babies, three children, as well as, adult bodies that were recovered from the mud and trees. National Guard member Breona Bryant has also mentioned that they are seeing dead children. Those doing rescue operations are traumatized, and many survivors of the storm are suffering from survivors’ guilt.”
These people have “endured unimaginable hardships,” right here in the United States, not halfway around the world in nations that take, take, take, from the American taxpayer and give what back? Not even a thank you? But we do get a boatload of hatred, chants of “death to America,” and all the freedom-hating terrorists the region can provide.
Example. Under Biden-Harris, Iran, which hates our guts, is $71.02 billion richer because of the policies in place and the sanctions removed. And, more egregiously, under Obama, the same mindset enriched the terrorist-supporting mullahs to the tune of 100 billion to $150 billion.
And don’t give me any bullshit about painting with too broad a brush. You know precisely what I’m talking about. White supremacists didn’t take down the Twin Towers, execute the Boston Marathon bombing, or, more currently, stated openly that they are targeting a former US president and current presidential candidate for assassination. The only product coming out of the Middle East (excluding Israel) that isn’t petroleum-based is death. Yet we keep flooding those oil-rich countries – countries that show no compassion or responsibility for their own people – with US taxpayer dollars.
This while the people of Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and other areas affected by the natural disaster are not only ignored by the US federal government and abused for politically opportune purposes just 30-plus days before an election but actively denied aid through unconscionable actions of idiocy and cruelty.
What do they get? FEMA announced that the people of North Carolina will receive $750, which will be digitally deposited within ten days. They will have to provide proof of citizenship to receive the funds when they have restored electricity so that the banks can open and process the deposits. Meanwhile, Illegal Immigrants received EBT Debit Cards loaded with $3,500, free cell phones, housing, education, and healthcare.
Fuck Joe Biden!
Fuck Kamala Harris!
Fuck Chuck Schumer!
And fuck everyone who supports their Republic-killing, tyrannical bullshit. It’s one thing to be a partisan hack, but their policies are killing people. And those who support and vote for them have blood on their hands!
Again, it’s unacceptable and reprehensible and needs to be openly condemned by all of us. Write to your federally elected officials demanding that all non-essential and non-constitutionally mandated funds—from all agencies and departments—be redirected immediately to the humanitarian emergencies that exist in the affected states.
This needs to be a “red line in the sand” moment for every single federally elected official, notifying them that they serve the people; they are not our lords and masters. This needs to be the moment when they understand that we, the People in the 50 separate states, allow the federal government to exist at all and that they are our servants, not the usurpers of World Economic Forum globalism fifth-columned into our lives.
Enough is enough. It is time to consider whether it’s even worth having a federal government at all if this is the way they are going to abuse the American people.
To everyone, I humbly ask that you dig deep – even if it is only a few dollars – and give to either Samaritan’s Purse or The Salvation Army. They always show up when disaster and tragedy strike.
And to those persevering in the affected areas – and especially the First Responders who will – I guarantee you – never be the same after this; God Bless you and keep you strong as you execute your duties and survive.

I want to start this podcast by offering a first-hand account of what is happening in the rural areas of North Carolina in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. The devastation is much worse than being reported…much worse.
A friend of this show, Judson Carroll, who hosts the Southern Appalachian Herbs podcast, who also podcasts on the Prepper Broadcasting Network, lives in Western North Carolina. Lucky to have intermittent internet service, he has provided us with a first-hand account of what is happening there:
I want you to keep something in mind as you digest that report. Just as with the disaster that wiped Lahaina on the island of Maui in Hawaii from recognizable existence, the federal government is doing very little to help American citizens during the natural disaster in Appalachia.
Shockingly – and this is entirely unacceptable, the Biden administration has misappropriated FEMA funds to provide taxpayers dollars for benefits for illegal immigrants.
Over $1 billion intended for disaster relief through FEMA was redirected towards providing services for immigrants, including those who entered illegally, with nearly $364 million in 2023 and $650 million for 2024 going towards the "Shelter and Services Program" aimed at non-citizen migrants released by DHS.
A recent report highlighted an annual net cost of $150.7 billion due to illegal immigration, encompassing various expenditures like emergency medical care, incarceration, and welfare.
Various reports mention monthly stipends ranging from $1,200 to $1,912, while the costs to US taxpayers—including those in North Carolina and Hawaii—for housing and medical treatment aren't directly quantifiable into a per-person per-month figure.
Additionally, the US federal government – and this must be laid at the feet of both parties – the Deep State globalist Uniparty, taxpayer dollars in the area of $70 billion have been sent to Ukraine with a projection of at least $174 billion being sent to that nation – without a caveat for accountability by September 2024.
So, what is the Biden administration doing for those affected by Hurricane Helene? Not much!
A statement issued by the White House proclaims:
“FEMA assistance in Florida, North Carolina, and South Carolina may include a one-time $750 payment to help with essential items like food, water, baby formula and other emergency supplies…”
That’s a far cry from what the Biden-Harris administration is affording illegal immigrants, who broke the law to exist in our country at the very start.
To add insult to injury – and in the wake of the Biden-Harris administration’s grotesquely irresponsible spending on non-critical special interests, impeached DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas issued a statement saying FEMA doesn’t have the funds to execute its mission:
This is absolutely unacceptable, and the entirety of the blame must – without question – be laid at the spendthrift feet of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the sickeningly opportunistic Democrat and Uniparty Deep State leadership in Congress.
How dare they raid emergency aid funds to provide politically motivated funding for non-citizens while taxpayers – American citizens – exist in immediate need. This goes for those affected by the hurricane in Hawaii, our military veterans and first responders, and our homeless.
The far-Left in the United States has lost its way. They are compassionate only when it serves their ideology and fuck everyone else. They have become hate-filled, obstinate monsters who must be removed from control of government, and that goes for the placed operative in the Deep State bureaucracy as well as those in elected office.
Tone down the rhetoric? Absolutely not! Not while people are being pulled alive out of the mud in North Carolina. Not while survivors in Lahaina are being denied answers to their questions and well-deserved aid to rebuild. Not while one military veteran or disabled first responder exists in need.
I will not tone down the rhetoric, and in fact, I urge everyone to be outraged along with me. We must put our country, our citizens, and our neighbors first before we extend international benevolence.
To help those in immediate need in Appalachia, please consider donating to one of two reputable organizations that consistently step up in times like these: Samaritan’s Purse (based out of North Carolina) and The Salvation Army (a Catholic charity). Links to both are on this podcast's webpage.
Then, when we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL AM930 & FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.

If you listen to or read Underground USA regularly, you know that I term contemporary election contests – at every level – as over-glorified junior high school popularity contests. Why else would anyone give a shit about who Taylor Swift or George Clooney, or any professional athlete or musician support?
But our society is so incredibly devoid of critical thinking skills that the installed narcissism so prevalent in the mainstream today—and fostered and nurtured by the elitist-pocketed mainstream media—leads most of the voting population by the nose to the belief that it’s all about personality and whether or not you are getting behind who the “in crowd” is supporting.
This is the shocking reality with which we are faced. Our freedoms – our liberties and rights to individualism – are now hanging by a thread and are so at the mercy of those who view politics and government with an intellectually shallow eye. Most, if not all, of the so-called “uninformed” voters refuse to take the time to do deep dives into the presidential and congressional candidates. They are lazy. Full of excuses, they have abdicated their responsibility to the rest of us and the Constitution – to be educated on politics and government. To them, it’s all about the bumper-sticker tagline. It’s all about the slogan. It’s all about the Madison Avenue packaging, the marketing.
Orange man bad! Joy! Forward! It’s all manufactured to manipulate and deceive the people who have been conditioned to consume substanceless, intellectual bubblegum for the mind. How else could a presidential candidate like Kamala Harris get on a debate stage, literally not answer one question asked of her, and call the event a victory? How else could a presidential candidate, again, like Kamala Harris, execute an Olympic effort to avoid answering substantive questions that require detailed answers about what she stands for and what her policies are?
I have repeatedly said that this election is not a choice between Republican or Democrat. It is not even really a choice between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris (and especially the latter since the Biden-Harris administration is actually being puppet-mastered by Obama 2.0). It is a choice between maintaining our freedoms and liberties and protecting our unique American form of government and the continuing advance of neo-Marxism, or as one of my friends puts it, the advance of neo-Bolshevism.
A different friend – a friend from college, recently sent me a podcast clip that illustrates the subject at hand. The podcast is called Modern Wisdom, hosted by Chris Williamson, and features Eric Weinstein, managing director for the venture capital firm Thiel Capital. Weinstein is also the person you coined the phrase “intellectual dark web,”referring to academics and social commentators who express concerns over the perceived excesses of Left-wing identity politics.
In this clip, Weinstein – who admits he is from far-Left political stock – expounds on why Kamala Harris constantly repeats the phrase, “What can be, unburdened by what has been.” It’s not an innocuous statement. In fact, it is an ominous statement:
It all sounds good until you peel back the ideological onion layers to expose the rot manifesting on the inside. This rot has been facilitated by the progressive movement, which has now revealed itself as a Marxism-fueled drive to first democratic socialism, then socialism, and then, as an end goal, full-blown communism and the end of the Great American Experiment.
Yes, our federal government has transformed into something quite different from what our Framers wanted for us. They despised the idea of a centralized government and centralized planning. They believed in the genius of fifty separate states with fifty separate constitutions affecting fifty separate social laboratories that cultivated government tailored to their people. The federal government was meant to be a compact between the states that filled in the cracks, not one that forced the states to their knees in subservience, and definitely not one of a fascist nature that colluded with global corporations to enslave its citizens.
Yet, here we are. We have a growing and increasingly oppressive federal government, captured by Deep State fascists (think the massive disappointment that is Dick Cheney), who enrich themselves to largess even as they lead the rest of us down the “road to serfdom.”
In 1964, future President Ronald Reagan gave a prophetic speech that has now become known as his “A Time for Choosing” speech. In it he laid out the exact evils our country would face at the hands of Marxists masquerading as progressives and socialist democrats. I present an edited version here (the complete speech linked above):
I urge you to listen to the full speech, and when you do, consume his statistics, translating them into a 2024 context. Each of his points applies – absolutely and completely – to our situation today.
We have certainly arrived at a “time for choosing.” But we have also arrived at a critical moment in time that should be termed “a time for educating and informing.” We have approximately 40 days to educate as many “uninformed” voters as possible that elections are not about electing the best candidate but making sure the worst candidate is kept away from power.
You may not like Donald Trump’s personality, but that idea – those emotions – must take a backseat to doing what is right for the country, your neighbors, and – at this juncture – the world. November 5th is not a popularity contest. It is a vote to determine whether we maintain freedom and start back to a place of government of, by, and for the people or whether we embrace Marxism toward the inevitable moment of oblivion.

CAUTION: Strong language included in this podcast
It’s like a broken record and one we have screamed about for decades. Evidently, the congressional GOP is stone-cold deaf, and quite frankly, I – for one – am sick of it.
Congressional Republicans are readying the knives to insert into the backs of their own voters – again – in a surrender to Democrats on the critical issues of funding the government and protecting the sanctity of the ballot box.
The legislation in question is The SAVE Act. SAVE stands for "Securing America's Victory in Every Act,” which – among other security measures – mandates proof of citizenship for voter registration in federal elections. It is crucial to safeguarding the sanctity of the ballot box, both from those who are here illegally and from those who would use the lax registration process to illegally register non-citizens to vote. And we know that’s happening.
But, like so many times before – and after so many promises that it would never happen again, House Speaker Johnson (R-LA) is reportedly abandoning the measure, now seeking to fund the US government through, yet again, another continuing resolution and without addressing election security.
It should be noted here that the last time Congress passed a budget through the regular order process, which involves the full budget resolution process as intended by the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, was for the fiscal year 1997. This was signed into law in September 1996. Since then, the government has been funded through a series of continuing resolutions, omnibus spending bills, or partial budget agreements rather than a comprehensive budget passed on time through the regular order.
Incidentally, the obligation of funding the government through the regular order process is one of the few mandatory obligations of Congress as mandated in the US Constitution in Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 and Article I, Section 9, Clause 7.
Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 grants Congress the power to "lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States," and serves as the basis for Congress's authority to fund the government.
Article I, Section 9, Clause 7 (also known as the “Appropriations Clause”), states that "No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in consequence of appropriations made by law; and a regular statement and account of the receipts and expenditures of all public money shall be published from time to time." This clause mandates that all spending by the federal government must be authorized by Congress through appropriations.
When was the last time any of us saw the latter? And why can’t Congress do one of the few things it is actually mandated to do in the Constitution? Seriously, how many fucking post offices do they rename in a year, and how many foolish DEI resolutions have been passed? But a budget or a bill to codify the sanity that foreign nationals shouldn’t have the right or privilege to vote in the sovereign elections of the United States?
Apparently, Johnson’s plan is to pass a “clean bill” another continuing resolution this week to fund the government through December 20, just five days before Christmas. And we can all be certain that these game-playing assholes will sprint out of Washington immediately after to cash their paychecks and retreat behind their security walls for the holidays.
Meanwhile, many, if not most, of the illegal immigrants who have been streaming across the border since the Biden-Harris regime opened the borders, have been registered to vote in our federal elections, and the Republicans in Congress just pretty much said, “Have at it.”
Who do these opportunistic jagoffs represent, the foreign nationals or the citizens of the United States who elected them?
Leave it to the congressional GOP to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. They had the Democrats on the ropes. All they had to do was message around the MSM to lay the blame of a government shutdown at the feet of Chuck Schumer and The Sqaud, Nancy Pelosi, the Biden administration, and the rest of the Deep State sycophants for their refusal to protect the ballot box and it would have been game over.
Harris needed the government to stay open, and the GOP could have blamed her own party for her demise. But nope. The milquetoast Uniparty handmaidens that are the congressional GOP flinched yet again in the hollow threats of Schumer and Pelosi and their Deep State overlords to give the Marxist Left the keys to an election.
If there were ever a time for investigations and independent probes, it would be now. We the People need to know who is getting paid off for betraying their constituents.
Hey! Johnson and the rest of you Deep State kowtowing ingrate assholes! When you’re standing in the crowd at Harris’s inaugural, hear these words from We the People: “Thanks for nothing and go fuck yourselves!”
