Why you should expect a blaring phone
alert Wednesday

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 10/4/2023 1:27:15 AM

Americans should expect a blaring phone alert Wednesday at 2:20 p.m ET. That's when the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will send notifications to phones in a nationwide emergency alert system test. Being that the alert is just a test, there's no cause for panic. It'll be conducted to ensure the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) are operational in the event of a national crisis, while also familiarizing the public with the notifications. Those in larger metropolitan areas may have received similar-looking Amber Alerts from this system before. People cannot opt out of the nationwide alert, as even phones set to silent

I’m probably following #1, DVC. Seems like an excellent idea. And this: “ It'll be conducted to ensure the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) are operational in the event of a national crisis, …. *”and we’ll decide the definition of national crisis.”*

Since the software that enables the feds to take control of our phones for this event is installed from the factory, makes one wonder what else they have in there for other functions.

This "TEST" message is clear. "We are in control and don't forget it." And to show just how in control, I suspect we all will be incapable of turning it off. This is chilling.

Immigrants frustrated after waiting on the southern side of the United States border wall staged a mass crossing late Tuesday, captured in a video that has since gone viral. Several hundred immigrants stormed past Mexican authorities, chanting and cheering in a chaotic scene as they paraded toward the border, intent on crossing and being admitted through locked gates in the wall. Mexican officials did nothing to stop the caravan. One officer smoked as he watched the group walk past him and others watched the group march by. The crossing came just a day after local Mexican media reported that as many as 3,000 immigrants from South America and Central America

A growing number of Americans are tired of seeing our leaders in Washington send mountains of cash to Ukraine when there are so many serious problems here at home. According to Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, there are some people in Washington who are getting that message and the movement is growing.

The Biden administration will resume deporting Venezuelans in another stark reversal on migration policy - as staunch Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slammed the president for his 'cruel' move to resume border wall construction. Ocasio-Cortez shamed President Joe Biden and urged him to 'reverse course' after he launched new stretches of border barriers, a signature policy of Donald Trump that Biden previously decried. Following a large surge in the number of migrants illegally crossing into the US from Mexico, the Biden administration said this week it would waive 26 federal laws to build additional sections of border wall

Americans should consider their tax strategies now ahead of potential changes at the end of 2025, experts warn. Trump-era legislation brought in by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017 made sweeping changes to the tax landscape. This included lowering individual income tax rates, almost doubling the standard deduction and raising the federal estate tax exemption. Unless these rules are extended, they will expire on January 1, 2026, sparking major changes for millions of taxpayers across the US. Now is the time to plan ahead, experts warn,

Republican officials slammed the Biden administration following Thursday’s quiet revelation of its intention to expand the border wall with Mexico — continuing the construction of the barrier that was a hallmark policy of former President Donald Trump and was subject to relentless criticism from President Biden and the Democrats. According to GOP members, the announcement is regarded as a “politically convenient” and unreasonably late one, which serves to highlight the “hypocrisy” of the current administration and its policies.

Is the Biden regime looking for a way to somehow reverse Elon Musk’s perfectly lawful purchase of X (formerly Twitter)? Today’s developing story reads as a fit of revenge. Jim Hoft previously reported, the SEC has been baselessly investigating Musk’s purchase of X/Twitter since 2022. Now they are suing him and Musk is not happy. CNBC reported that the Regime’s SEC has sued Musk because they subpoenaed him in September to show up in a San Francisco court and testify regarding his perfectly lawful purchase of X/Twitter. He did not show up likely assuming it was a trap. This new lawsuit was filed in the same court.

Nothing focuses the minds of American voters more than an economy gone sour. As voters watch their chances of living the American dream dwindle — the price of homes, gas, cars, food, and other necessities skyrocketing; good-paying full-time jobs disappearing; and layoffs spreading throughout the economy — they just want to make the pain go away. And the easiest way for citizens to rid themselves of this pain is to vote out of power its perceived cause: the sitting president and his party.Americans forced out of office Herbert Hoover in 1932 because they blamed him for the Depression.

Former President Donald Trump filed a motion on Thursday seeking the dismissal of federal election conspiracy charges on the grounds he cannot be prosecuted for actions he took while in the White House. Trump, the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, is to go on trial in Washington in March of next year for allegedly conspiring to subvert the results of the November 2020 election won by Democrat Joe Biden. The former president’s lawyers, in a 52-page motion to US District Judge Tanya Chutkan, argued the charges should be thrown out.

President Joe Biden announced Wednesday that he approved $9 billion in student loan forgiveness for 125,000 Americans. The relief is a result of his administration's fixes to a number of programs, including the income-driven repayment plans and Public Service Loan Forgiveness. More than $5 billion of the aid will go to 53,000 borrowers who've worked in public service for a decade or more; $2.8 billion of the forgiveness is for 51,000 borrowers enrolled in income-driven repayment plans; and another $1.2 billion of the cancellation will go to 22,000 borrowers with disabilities. The announcement is likely to help Biden as he runs for reelection, experts say.

But Joe Biden can’t even seem to get that right, as his dog Commander has a fondness for biting people—and as my colleague Jeff Charles reported in September, he has a special taste for Secret Service agents. He has chomped on them at least 12 times since 2021, and now he’s been caught on camera:
