This is a good opportunity to emphasize a key point that is often missed. In the research and discussion outline yesterday, about Joe Biden’s EPA publishing new regulations for the auto industry, we dove deep into the background of what actually creates the issue. {GO DEEP} The issue that should concern everyone is not the Joe Biden administration and their ideology around climate change, or the EPA, or even the viability of EVs themselves. The issue that should draw the biggest concern is how the regulation originates; what is the impetus; who are the beneficiaries? The regulation itself did not originate in the EPA,

BlackRock and the other financial giants may be the new "Captains of Industry", this generation's "Titans of Business" who know how to run the world. But they are as human and flawed as all the other power brokers and money changers that have gone before them in centuries past. They are still up against an intangible force, a spirit that lives deep in the heart of free men and women. I believe in the fundamental greatness of America. There are millions more patriots than leftists across our broad land. The challenges we face are daunting, but not insurmountable. We come from a storied people, hard stock that have pioneered new territories, won independence from the world's greatest empire, conquered a continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific, overcame deprivation, civil war, depressions, won two world wars, and have survived the socioeconomic upheavals of the late 20th century. Although we have been weakened by the last 60 years of Cloward-Priven strategic social engineering, I believe there remains a significant number of citizens who have passed Americanism onto their children and grands despite the miasma of progressive culture that surrounds us. Our cities have become dysfunctional messes and soon will be essentially warehouses for the Left's throw-away people; the drug addicts, the homeless, the illegals, and those still on "traditional" welfare. The smart ones are getting out, or have already left. The rural areas and heartland will be where America will regroup and survive. It will be where local government power is re-instituted and once again honored and held dear. It will be in the heartland that the Battle for America will be fought and won. It will be here that people will simply refuse to go-along. "Irish Democracy" as taught to me by the Irish Sisters of Charity in grade school. Silent polite resistance. Slow walking minimal compliance with lots of attitude. Not to mention a little clandestine night action on the side. TRUMP 2024 - MAGA

This is an excellent article explaining how major investment firms such as Blackrock, Vanguard and major global banks are actually running this country by writing the legislation and getting governments to pass the legislation that gives the investment firms and the elected representatives the profits at the expense of the people that elected the representatives.

While pushing to shut down fossil fueled electrical power plants, reducing capacity, Biden and the Democrats are pushing conversion of all household appliances and vehicles to be electrical, increasing electrical power demand. Might I point out this is idiotic and insane!

In 2011, Lesley Yates, a vibrant mother and teacher’s aide, suffered a medical crisis after receiving a routine antibiotics prescription for a suspected urinary tract infection. The aftermath left her with severe tendon injuries, culminating in a premature transition to permanent disability at the age of 54. Several doctors and experts dismissed her symptoms, Ms. Yates told The Epoch Times. Her story highlights the critical but underreported adverse effects associated with fluoroquinolone antibiotics—and the medical problems that arise in the absence of clear warnings of their risks. “I feel like a 90-year-old in a 50-year-old body,”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told visiting State Secretary Antony Blinken on Friday that Israel could launch a ground offensive in Gaza’s southernmost city Rafah “alone” without U.S. backing. Mr. Blinken met with the Israeli leader in Tel Aviv on March 22 and urged Israel not to invade Rafah, saying that such an action “risks wreaking greater havoc.” “As we’ve said, though, a major military ground operation in Rafah is not the way to do it,” Mr. Blinken said at a press conference in Tel Aviv.

A correspondent who knows precisely the type of things that I habitually complain about (and without such complaint I would have nothing to say) kindly drew my attention to the proposed Obama Center in Chicago. The Center is completely mad, the madness in question being an attack of megalomania that makes the Pyramid of Cheops seem like a statement of modesty by the pharaoh. The vast proposed building is in Jackson Park, and it was the subject of legal actions because a group called Protect Our Parks believed that it was contrary to the covenant governing the park’s usage: but, perhaps not surprisingly, the friends of Obama won the actions.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) and 16 states on Thursday filed a civil lawsuit against Apple Inc. and accused the company of illegally monopolizing the smartphone market. The DOJ and 16 state attorneys general claimed Apple attempted to limit competition, which harms consumers, small businesses, and app developers via the firm’s App Store and other Apple features. Apple has long placed significant restrictions on what can be downloaded through its App Store, saying that those rules are designed to bolster Apple device users’ privacy and security.

Florida Democrats chose to award President Joe Biden the state’s delegates in November instead of holding a presidential primary vote, presumably to protect the unpopular incumbent. But it appears the move backfired and led to a wipeout of Democrats in local races. Florida Democrat Party leaders awarded Biden the state’s 224 delegates months ago and cancelled the primary, in a move Biden’s Democrat challengers called “intentional disenfranchisement” and said was “done obviously in secret, obviously to help the incumbent Joe Biden.” The lack of a statewide Democrat primary meant registered Democrats had less reason to turn out on Tuesday than Republicans, who decisively voted for former President Donald Trump

Biden has warned Israel publicly not to attack Hamas in Rafah, due to the presence of large numbers of civilians there, which the terrorist group uses as human shields. Israel says that it cannot win the war without defeating the last four Hamas battalions in Rafah.

White House national security spokesman John Kirby said the Biden administration is "perplexed" by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to cancel a high-level delegation’s planned visit to Washington after the U.S. decided not to veto a U.N. Security Council vote demanding a cease-fire in Gaza. Monday’s resolution, which passed 14-0, called for an immediate cease-fire during the ongoing Muslim holy month of Ramadan. It also demanded the release of all hostages taken captive during Hamas' Oct. 7 surprise attack in southern Israel. However, the measure does not link that demand to its call for a cease-fire. Rather than use its veto power, the U.S. abstained from voting.

The United Nations Security Council on Monday passed a resolution calling for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The resolution calls for the immediate cease-fire in Gaza during Ramadan and the immediate, unconditional release of the hostages being held captive by Hamas. The U.S. chose to abstain instead of vetoing the resolution, and all other member nations voted in favor. It marks the first time the U.N. Security Council has passed a cease-fire resolution since the war between Israel and Hamas broke out on October 7 because of Hamas’s mass slaughter of innocent civilians from Israel and nations around the world.
