![]() D.C. Churches "Love the Stranger" but Lock Their Doors By Cliff Kincaid In a calculated putdown, the Washington Post once highlighted conservative Christian voters as “poor, uneducated, and easy to command.” But that seems to be a more accurate description of the residents of Washington D.C., who will vote to convict former President Trump of anything presented to them by a partisan prosecutor and grand jury. That’s what a new opinion poll indicates. These survey results demonstrate how the hallowed jury system has been weaponized. But things may be slowly changing in the nation’s capital, as illegal aliens flood the city, reminding people that Trump’s policies of stopping the invasion had some benefits for Americans as a whole. The Babylon Bee’s humorous headline captures the scene: “Democrats Complain That Illegal Immigrants Are Destroying Their Sanctuary Cities.” I skimmed the Washington Post and found a story about illegal aliens overwhelming city services in the nation’s capital. I regarded it as official confirmation that some Republicans had succeeded in outsmarting the Biden regime. The first paragraph said it all: “It’s been about 17 months since Republican governors from Texas and Arizona started sending thousands of migrants to the District and other cities in protest of President Biden’s border policies, but questions and concerns remain about the availability of short-term shelter in the nation’s capital as buses continue to arrive.” This was a convoluted way of saying that the rich elitists in D.C., a sanctuary city, are starting to feel the pinch. After Trump was elected in 2016, Mayor Muriel Bowser issued a statement, “The values, laws, and policies of Washington, DC did not change on Election Day. We celebrate our diversity and respect all DC residents no matter their immigration status. We are a sanctuary city because we know that our neighborhoods are safer and stronger when no one is afraid to call on our government for help, and when our police can focus on protecting and serving.” Now that the “sanctuary” is filled to the brim under Biden, the scribblers at the Post are starting to record the pain without gain. Even the liberals are squirming. The Post writers, many of whom likely employ illegals as gardeners, nannies, maids and cooks, have probably had enough as well. The homeless on the streets and the tent cities are too obnoxious to ignore. Those Republican governors sending the busloads of illegals have clearly outsmarted the Biden regime, sending a message that is resonating beyond the confines of D.C. The same problems are apparent in New York City, where Mayor Adams is begging the Democrat Governor of New York to bus illegals into the suburban and rural counties that surround the city. As a result, notes far-left Axios, “Tensions between President Biden and local Democrats are rising as shelters overflow and thousands of immigrants arrive in big cities.” The headline over the story was “Blue state migrant crisis sparks political disaster for Biden.” “In Chicago,” the publication said, “public meetings about converting buildings into shelters are turning accusatory, with Black residents asking why millions are being spent on new arrivals while their neighborhoods reel from decades of disinvestment.” You don’t have to live in one of these cities to understand the stakes. The popular reality TV show “Border Wars,” on the National Geographic Channel, captures the determined efforts of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, ICE, DEA, the U.S. Coast Guard, and local law enforcement to keep our nation safe. They fight terrorism and apprehend drug smugglers. They also intercept people entering the United States illegally. A border wall, like that proposed and partly built by President Trump, would be one line of defense. But faced with Biden dismantling the wall and abandoning his constitutional duty to provide for the common defense, Republican governors are doing the next best thing – sending the illegal aliens to the Blue states. This is finally getting the attention of Democrats and the liberal media. The Washington Post also took note of the problem in New York City, explaining how Adams and other officials have “struggled to meet demand for shelter even as officials have converted hotels, dormitories and other residences into emergency sites.” In Washington D.C., churches have locked doors and security cameras. Sadly, many of the churches, who preach "Love the Stranger," have brought us to this point.

Fact Sheet: President Biden and Vice President Harris Are Delivering For Young Americans
EXCERPT: Addressing a Failed Approach to Marijuana The criminalization of marijuana possession has upended too many lives—for conduct that is now legal in many states. While white, Black and brown people use marijuana at similar rates, Black and brown people are more likely to be in jail for it.
VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS’S FIGHT FOR OUR FREEDOMS COLLEGE TOUR Protecting Our Rights | Using Our Voices | Determining Our Future * * * As students head back to the classroom, Vice President Harris is launching a month-long “Fight for Our Freedoms College Tour” across America to mobilize young people in the ongoing fight for fundamental freedoms and rights. She is set to visit at least seven states to hold a whirlwind of high-energy, large-scale campus events at around a dozen schools – including historically Black colleges and universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, community colleges, apprenticeship programs, and four-year state schools. The Vice President’s flurry of tour stops will bring thousands of students together around the critical fights for reproductive freedom, commonsense gun safety laws, climate action, voting rights, LGBTQ+ equality, and teaching America’s full story. As the Vice President officially kicks off her college tour at Hampton University today, the White House is highlighting how the Biden-Harris Administration has consistently engaged with, partnered alongside, and delivered for young people across the nation. President Biden and Vice President Harris Are… Investing in our Schools and Colleges President Biden and Vice President Harris believe that investing in education is investing in America’s future. To ensure that every young American has the opportunity for a strong start in life, the Biden-Harris administration has:
The average young adult (18-24) with student loans owes more than $14,000. President Biden and Vice President Harris are doing everything within their power to fix problems in the student loan system, provide debt relief to borrowers, and make college more affordable. The administration:
Young adults are more likely to lack health insurance than any other age group. Even among young people with insurance, sizable barriers remain. Last year, almost a third of young adults didn’t get the mental health care they needed even with insurance. President Biden and Vice President Harris believe that healthcare is a right, not a privilege, and they are taking action to expand access to these essential services:
Today, three years after the 2020 recession, the economy is starting to work for young people, thanks to President Biden’s and Vice President Harris’s efforts.
Almost 10 million young adults (18-34s) say they are “very worried” about not having enough money to pay their monthly bills. President Biden and Vice President Harris understand young people are facing an affordability crisis, and they are taking action to respond by:
In the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade, nearly 28 million women of reproductive age live in a state with an abortion ban. These extreme and dangerous abortion bans have an outsized impact on young people, three-quarters of whom believe that abortion should be legal. To ensure all women, including young women, can access the health care they need, the Biden-Harris Administration is:
Young people are disproportionately impacted by gender-based violence. To prevent gender-based violence and increase support for survivors, the Biden-Harris Administration has:
Gun violence is the largest killer of children in America – more than cancer and car accidents. More than 20 million young Americans (18-29s) say they are afraid of experiencing a mass shooting. To take action on gun violence, the Biden-Harris Administration:

![]() Impeachment for the Wrong Reasons By Cliff Kincaid Will Biden be impeached for the right reasons? Or will the “impeachment inquiry” divert our attention from the issue of whether America can survive under Biden? We don’t have time to waste, and the issue goes far beyond several million dollars to Hunter and the Big Guy. Consider that, on the anniversary of 9/11, Biden gave a terrorist regime $6 billion, while his own Iran envoy, the lead negotiator on Obama’s 2015 Iran nuclear deal, is on leave over questions surrounding the suspension of his security clearance. If you want to talk about the influence of bribes, attorney Larry Klayman of Freedom Watch has made the point that payback was involved in Biden delaying shooting down the spy balloon allowing the Chinese Communists to conduct surveillance on U.S. nuclear missile sites. Klayman concludes the delay was payback for the millions of dollars of bribes he took that were laundered through his son Hunter. This is the real issue – America’s survival. When the U.S. government compromises our national security for money, and in fact gives our enemies billions of dollars, the issue goes beyond impeachment to treason. President Trump had ordered the assassination of Iranian general and top terrorist leader Qassem Suleimani. Suleimani headed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds (IRGC) Force, a U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization responsible for producing many of our wounded warriors from Middle East conflicts. A State Department fact sheet issued in April 2019 gave a more detailed account of the deaths attributed to this organization. It said, “The Iranian regime is responsible for the deaths of at least 603 American service members in Iraq since 2003. This accounts for 17% of all deaths of U.S. personnel in Iraq from 2003 to 2011, and is in addition to the many thousands of Iraqis killed by the IRGC’s proxies.” Trump killed an anti-American terrorist leader, while Biden pays off the sponsors of that terrorism. Tragically, with the history of intelligence failures, including 9/11, we must accept the possibility that the Chinese or Iranian regime will hit America with nuclear weapons and that the intelligence agencies will fail to protect our people, and that the media will then blame Trump. Look at what is already happening on American soil. Look at the spectacle of a convicted murderer, Danelo Cavalcante, on the run for about two weeks after he escaped from a prison in Chester County, Pennsylvania. The pundits on Wednesday after his capture are calling for his deportation. That only means he could be sent to a foreign country and then sneak his way back into the United States through Biden’s open border. At home and abroad, the Obama/Biden Administration opens the door to America’s enemies. Yet, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s letter of a “formal impeachment inquiry” listed five grounds justifying the inquiry, none of which involve treasonous activity relating to Chinese surveillance of American nuclear sites or the appeasement of Iran. On Fox on Wednesday, a former FBI official named Nicole Parker called the capture of the killer a “victorious day for law enforcement.” This is typical of what happens when government fails the American people and then tries to clear up the mess they left. They pat each other on the back. Law enforcement can’t even keep a killer locked up. A photo op was staged with the captured killer. At the Wednesday morning news conference, Pennsylvania’s Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro hailed the “excellence in law enforcement” that finally caught him. Similarly, the FBI closed the book on the post-9/11 anthrax attacks by blaming an American scientist who took his own life under pressure from authorities, when the evidence indicated a foreign al-Qaeda connection to the case. The case is still unsolved 22 years later. In the case of the illegal alien murderer on the loose and finally captured, only one prison guard who missed the escape has been fired. Dogs, drones, and helicopters were used to find the killer, who had obtained a firearm. Associated Press reported that Cavalcante “eluded hundreds of law enforcement personnel, including tracking dogs, tactical teams in full combat gear, and police on horseback and in helicopters southwest of Philadelphia.” The ranks of searchers swelled to around 400 personnel. The captured killer is being sent to another “correctional institution,” presumably some place other than the Chester County Prison, from which he escaped. Even Border Patrol was used to track and find the killer in Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, other “dangerous individuals” are coming across the border on a regular basis. Some of them are on a terrorist watch list. But this isn’t an issue in the impeachment inquiry.
![]() The NSA and America’s Enemies By Cliff Kincaid On the anniversary of 9/11, we are forced to consider the sad state of our so-called “intelligence” agencies, unable or unwilling to protect America. Much of the conservative commentary emphasizes the political nature of the FBI and the CIA and their determination to keep Donald J. Trump out of the White House and maintain the Obama/Biden Administration in power. But the National Security Agency (NSA) also bears watching. The NSA is counting on Congress to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), ostensibly to collect information about foreign threats. Yet, the NSA is currently celebrating the activities of a Soviet spy, J. Robert Oppenheimer, the Manhattan Project scientist who worked on behalf of the Soviet Union and the development of its atom bomb project. Indeed, America’s premier spy agency, the NSA has a display in its museum insisting that Oppenheimer was an innocent victim of anti-communist hysteria. Consider that the National Cryptologic Museum is described by the spy agency as “NSA’s gateway to the public.” What has happened to the NSA? It has gone woke. The NSA’s National Cryptologic Museum once featured an exhibit on Soviet infiltration of the Manhattan Project. The release of the transcripts of the Venona project of the NSA, consisting of interceptions of Soviet messages exposing Soviet atomic bomb espionage, came in 1995-1996. But today, the NSA’s National Cryptologic Museum glorifies Oppenheimer, a communist spy, by featuring a letter he wrote to a journalist. I visited the NSA’s National Cryptologic Museum on August 9, 2023, confirming that the Venona exhibit had been “rotated out” of the museum and replaced with a “Protecting America’s Secrets” display paying homage to Oppenheimer. Let this fact sink in: the NSA’s National Cryptologic Museum no longer features a display on how KGB spies infiltrated the Manhattan Project. Instead, it now includes a display whitewashing Soviet spy Oppenheimer and ignoring the substantial evidence of his record as a communist spy. My group, America’s Survival, Inc. (ASI) has long been concerned about the direction of the NSA. We published Blood on His Hands: The True Story of Edward Snowden, examining the disclosures from the former CIA and NSA employee that put America and its allies in danger of further Russian aggression, Islamic terrorism, and Chinese cyber warfare. Since this book was published in 2015, these threats have come to pass. Russia invaded Ukraine, and a major war in Europe continues. With the assistance of the federal government’s “health” establishment, which financed “gain of function” research in communist China, the communist military unleased the China virus. And the country that because a base for terrorists, Afghanistan, is now totally controlled by them. In order to understand the Snowden problem in the NSA and CIA, I didn’t gain access to classified information. All that I had at my disposal was 40 years of experience in analyzing intelligence failures in the face of an international communist threat. When NSA analysts William Martin and Bernon Mitchell defected to Russia in 1960, President Eisenhower labeled them as traitors and former President Harry Truman said they should be shot. Investigations revealed that both young men had been members of the Communist Party and homosexual lovers. To understand the nature of Oppenheimer’s betrayal, in the context of the release of the Christopher Nolan film glorifying him, we issued a new report, Hollywood’s Whitewash of a Communist Spy and the Infiltration of America’s Nuclear Labs. This 24-page report is based in part on the work of Herbert Romerstein, who co-authored a book on the NSA’s Venona project exposing Soviet espionage in America’s nuclear laboratory. His book The Venona Secrets: The Definitive Exposé of Soviet Espionage in America, can be found in the NSA museum library. In a letter to General Paul M. Nakasone, director of the National Security Agency, I noted that I had visited the NSA’s National Cryptologic Museum, confirming that the Venona exhibit had been “rotated out” of the museum and replaced with a “Protecting America’s Secrets” display paying homage to Oppenheimer. I informed Nakasone that, unless we maintain the viability of our nuclear deterrent and our nuclear weapons development, America will exist no more. No issue is more important. I am sure he must agree with my common-sense assessment. So what accounts for the decision to pay homage to a Soviet spy in the NSA’s gateway to the public? It is what some call wokeness” or the ideology of the politically correct. The elites want to whitewash Oppenheimer in the same way many of them still consider Soviet spy Alger Hiss innocent of the charges against him. It is this phenomenon that puts our nation at risk. It is the same problem which allowed the FBI to mishandle the case of the post-9/11 anthrax attacks, blaming them on a series of innocent American scientists and ignoring how terrorist operatives had stolen the deadly substance from a U.S. lab. Today, as the ASI report makes clear, our nuclear labs are still being infiltrated. America’s next 9/11 could be a nuclear attack killing millions.
Edwards introduces legislation to uphold federal marijuana laws
September 1, 2023 Press ReleaseU.S. Congressman Chuck Edwards (NC-11) today introduced the Stop Pot Act to withhold certain federal funding from states and tribes that permit the use of recreational marijuana. The Stop Pot Act will withhold 10 percent of federal highway funds for governments that violate federal law under the Controlled Substances Act, which prohibits recreational marijuana and classifies it as a Schedule I drug. This legislation does not apply to jurisdictions that authorize medical use of marijuana when prescribed by a licensed medical professional. “The laws of any government should not infringe on the overall laws of our nation, and federal funds should not be awarded to jurisdictions that willfully ignore federal law,” said Edwards. “During a time when our communities are seeing unprecedented crime, drug addiction, and mental illness, the Stop Pot Act will help prevent even greater access to drugs and ease the strain placed on our local law enforcement and mental health professionals who are already stretched thin.” Smart Approaches to Marijuana Action (SAM Action) President and CEO Dr. Kevin Sabet said, “Today’s marijuana isn’t Woodstock Weed. It is a highly engineered drug that’s often wrapped in kid-friendly packaging, with potencies of up to 99 percent. The legalization movement has worsened America’s mental health and addiction crisis by preying on communities of color and young people. Today’s commercial marijuana products are associated with depression, suicidality, IQ loss and most recently psychosis and schizophrenia, especially for young people. “Federal law is clear - sales of marijuana and THC drugs are illegal. Congressman Edwards’ ‘Stop Pot Act’ holds states accountable for violating federal law and undermining the authority of the FDA and the DEA. In states across the country, we’ve seen marijuana and THC drug legalization lead to increases in marijuana-related driving crashes and deaths. As CBS News reported just today, a recent study found that in states where cannabis is legal, cannabis-related DUIs happen 32 percent more than in states where the drugs are not legal. By following the model used to raise the legal drinking age to 21 and making highway funding conditional upon responsible marijuana policy, this bill will improve roadway safety. That’s good news for everyone.” Read more about the Stop Pot Act here. ![]() Pentagon Targets the Unborn Enemy By Cliff Kincaid Rather than kill the enemy, the Pentagon is now in the business of killing the unborn. How much confidence should we have in these “leaders?” They are a disgrace to the uniform. They should defect to Russia and China. Only then would we be in better shape. As we anticipate the anniversary of 9/11, many assume that Pentagon brass and the leadership of the CIA and FBI have corrected the problems that led to a terrorist attack on American soil. Instead, the Pentagon is attacking Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville for objecting to the Department of Defense turning into an abortion factory. Tuesday’s release from the Department of Defense, disguised as a news story, attacked Tuberville for holding up various promotions of the top brass, as long as the DoD remains adamant in favor of aborting children using taxpayer funds. Tuberville’s position is legally and morally correct. Here’s how the DoD propagandists put it: “To ensure equitable access to care, DOD implemented a policy enabling service members to travel outside their duty stations' state if that state imposes restrictions on reproductive health access.” Translated into common language, this means the Pentagon is using money for national defense to facilitate abortions across state lines. But the Congress never voted for that. There is no constitutional right to abortion, and there never was. Despite DoD propaganda, let us understand that the term “reproductive health access” is abortion. Pentagon scribblers don’t even want to use the term. They are ashamed to refer to the killing of the unborn. When the Pentagon is distributing such lies, under the cover of a “news” story, you know that moral standards have declined dramatically. Should this department be saved from massive budget cuts if they have so much money to spend they can divert some of it to abortion? This dramatic decline in basic standards of morality makes an objective observer wonder if the Pentagon is worth saving. This is a military bent on national suicide, more concerned with killing the unborn than killing the enemy. What is clear is that the top brass has got to go. Tuberville’s hold on the promotions of such ideologues as Air Force Gen. CQ Brown, Jr. -- nominated to replace Army Gen. Mark A. Milley as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff – is the most visible. Brown should never have been nominated. Milley should have been fired by Trump. The DoD propaganda piece says, “Defense leaders renewed their calls for the Senate to lift these holds and speedily confirm those officers who are in legislative limbo.” What about the unborn babies in limbo because of an illegal Pentagon policy that pays for their mothers to abort them? “This is an issue for Congress to address,” Pentagon Press Secretary Air Force Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder. “It would be inappropriate for me to comment on how they should go about it. But I can tell you that our military leaders simply want to do the job that our nation expects them to do -- lead our military to protect and defend our nation and, if necessary, overwhelmingly defeat our enemies in battle.” This is pure propaganda, ignoring the fact that the Pentagon is prohibited from paying for abortions. The Pentagon is waging a war on the unborn, not our enemies. The Pentagon’s policy to provide paid leave and transportation for service members or their dependents to seek an abortion has not been approved by Congress. Senator Joni Ernst says, “The Pentagon should not be mobilized against the unborn. The Department of Defense exists to defend life, not destroy it. Biden DoD’s policy is not just unlawful, it’s immoral. Congress has been clear; the Hyde Amendment protects taxpayers from being forced to fund abortions. I will continue to ensure the unborn and your tax dollars are protected.” But Tuberville is willing to put holds on the nominations until the unlawful policy is overturned. And it’s Tuberville who is also drawing attention to the Pentagon’s embrace of the LGBTQ ideology. The Pentagon lies by saying that the holds on the nominations hinder military readiness. “I've talked to generals and admirals every day,’" Tuberville said on the Newsmax show “Greg Kelly Reports.” He added, “There's no problem with readiness…” The only problem with readiness is having an Armed Forces more concerned with providing abortions and accommodating transgenders than being able to fight and win a war. Tuberville added. “I’m tired of Pinocchio [President] Joe [Biden] legislating from the White House. They’re not going do that on my watch. The people of Alabama have somebody up there that’s going to vote for them. And if we’re going to have some kind of different abortion policy in the military, it's going to take a vote on the Senate floor. And if we don't do that, I'm going to have these holds for a long, long time.” Tuberville’s challenge to the top military brass is the only win to save lives and ultimately win wars. Perhaps the babies being saved could grow up to be real warriors for the America we once knew. That is, if America can last that long.
![]() Coach Tuberville Cries Foul to Politics as Usual By Cliff Kincaid As the American people begin watching college football, they have reason to believe that the referees are reliable and fair. That perception is no longer applicable to politics. But Senator Tommy Tuberville, a former college football coach, is doing something about that. He has cried “foul” at efforts by the Biden regime to destroy traditional values in the military. Coach Tuberville demonstrates the kind of grit we need to save America. On the House side, faced with a government shutdown if budgets are not done on time, Republican leaders like Kevin McCarthy and James Comer argue that they must continue to fund the Biden regime because some of the money trickles down to their never-ending investigations of the Biden bribery apparatus. This seems like a no-win game, especially because a threatened impeachment would never pass the Senate. "Worse than Watergate" says Rep. Comer. But the Republicans don't have the votes to remove Biden from office. Yet, all is not lost. Coach Tuberville is single-handedly preventing the confirmation of hundreds of “woke” military officers, including General Mark Milley’s replacement, the far-left ideologue, Air Force Gen. C.Q. Brown. One of the House Republicans who voted against McCarthy, Rep. Mary Miller, understands what is happening. She sent an email saying, “The Communists will do anything to win.” The communists won when President Trump abandoned his presidency and military leaders chose China over Trump. Consider a message from Harmeet Dillon, of the Center for American Liberty, about how Fulton County, Georgia’s District Attorney isn’t just going after President Trump – “she’s going after his lawyers too.” She points out, “The radical Left wants to send a loud, clear message to attorneys across the country that if they question the integrity of elections or provide legal services to conservative candidates, they could be held criminally responsible.” You know the situation is dire when former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, who busted the mob using the racketeering statute, is being accused of racketeering. Radical lawyers are working to take Trump’s name off the presidential ballot in 2024, and some could be successful. The legal profession is hopeless. Significantly, a Trump nemesis, Special Counsel Jack Smith, learned his legal tactics at the U.N.’s International Criminal Court. He will get his man. Then the U.N. will go after all of us, America itself, for “crimes” based on slavery and capitalism. But the military is also being destroyed from within, a process that will drive conservatives and Christians out. Without a strong military and superior nuclear weapons, acting as a deterrent, we are finished. When Joe Biden gave his “Soul of the Nation” speech at Independence Hall, he was surrounded by Marines in the background as props. It was another indication that the Joint Chiefs of Staff, which approved the display, has become a pillar of America’s Marxist regime. Joint Chiefs Chairman Army Gen. Mark Milley defended Marxist indoctrination of our soldiers and presides over a force that includes gays and transgenders. What’s more, in actions that were clearly designed to subvert the Trump presidency and undermine the chain of command, it was revealed Milley made secret calls to Communist Chinese officials during the final days of the Trump Administration, supposedly out of alleged concern that Trump would attack China. According to a transcript of another call, Milley told then-Democratic Party House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that he would “prevent” unwarranted Trump’s use of the military “domestically and/or internationally.” One would think that Milley would have sided with Trump, the legitimate president, and not a regime that released a virus that has killed more than 1 million Americans. The bottom line is that Milley was part of the effort, working with Communist China, to keep Trump out of the White House. Milley made the military into an instrument for the consolidation of Biden’s Marxist regime, in the face of overwhelming evidence of election irregularities and censorship of major stories involving Biden family corruption that were censored by Big Tech acting in collusion with the intelligence agencies. In short, the “insurrection” was staged AGAINST President Trump. But that is not what we are talking about these days. Instead, Trump is accused of staging the insurrection and faces jail time. Most Republicans fear the power of the legal apparatus that is targeting Trump and others. In the face of this assault, there are still victories to be achieved. Consider the example set by Senator Tuberville, using powers that have always been available. “Since March the Pentagon has been spending our tax dollars for travel and extra paid time off for servicemembers and their kids to get abortions—something Congress neither authorized nor appropriated,” he notes. He has held up promotions and confirmations over this and other Pentagon policies. He is rightly concerned about the fact that the U.S. military is using taxpayer funds for “initiatives unrelated to the military’s core mission of protecting Americans by ensuring readiness and lethality.” He is demanding to know why Admiral Michael M. Gilday, chief of naval operations, permitted drag queen performances aboard naval vessels, including during the Trump Administration’s ban on transgender servicemembers. He says one of the alleged performers was appointed as the digital ambassador for the Navy’s recruiting efforts, posting videos to the Chinese-owned social media platform TikTok. Tuberville and his colleagues sent a separate letter to Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro “demanding to know why the Navy is utilizing TikTok,” a social media platform “known to pose serious national security threats due to its links to the Chinese Communist Party.” In addition to the political control of the military, on behalf of China, Biden has overruled the Air Force decision over two and a half years ago to choose Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama, for the headquarters of Space Command. Biden decided to permanently put Space Command in liberal pot-friendly and pro-abortion Colorado. As soon as Joe Biden took office, notes Tuberville, Biden “inserted politics into what had been a fair and objective competition -- not because the facts had changed, but because the political party of the sitting President had changed. The top three choices for Space Command headquarters were all in red, conservative states -- Alabama, Nebraska, and Texas. Colorado didn’t even come close.” Tuberville concluded that Biden is using military bases “as rewards for political supporters rather than for our security.” The fact that Tuberville is fighting this battle virtually alone demonstrates the sad state we are in. The inevitable result of the subversion process is a mass exodus of conservative and Christian men and women from the Armed Forces, leading to the return of the draft and destruction of much of our military power in the event of a confrontation with China over Taiwan. It’s not an exaggeration to say that the fate of the nation lies in Coach Tuberville’s hands.
NEW YORK’S PLAN TO SPEND TAXPAYER FUNDS ON MARIJUANA STORES CHALLENGED IN FEDERAL COURT
Media contact person is: George F. Hritz, Esq. George@HritzLaw.com (203) 570-2310 On August 25, 2023, the Cannabis Impact Prevention Coalition and the Cannabis Industry Victims Seeking Justice, and individual plaintiffs, filed a lawsuit in the federal District Court for the Northern District of New York against Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Cannabis agencies and their officials. The pleadings are attached. The lawsuit seeks a declaratory judgment and an injunction to stop the state from financing marijuana trafficking operations (marijuana stores) in violation of the federal Controlled Substances Act and the Food and Drug Act and the New York Finance Law § 123. After the Legislature enacted marijuana legalization, Governor Hochul proposed, and the Legislature enacted, the “Social Equity Cannabis Investment Fund.” The Fund is a public-private partnership to provide start-up financial support for cannabis “dispensary” licensees for those individuals who had prior marijuana convictions and their families. The $200,000,000 Fund is seeded with $50,000,000 in State funds, expecting to be repaid from tax revenue generated by cannabis sales (proceeds of marijuana trafficking), and $150 million in private investment. “In an Orwellian change of terms, formerly convicted drug criminals are now referred to by the state as “social equity entrepreneurs” and marijuana trafficking operations are now “dispensaries” stated plaintiffs’ attorney George Hritz. The Dormitory Authority of the State of New York ("DASNY") is New York State's public finance and construction authority that normally finances, and builds health and education infrastructure. Ironically, DASNY would instead become the biggest marijuana trafficking landlord in New York. DASNY would lease properties and be responsible for collecting rent from marijuana trafficking operations and paying these illegal monies to the primary landlord. However, it is unlawful to knowingly open, lease, rent, maintain, or use property for the manufacturing, storing, or distribution of controlled substances such as marijuana. Marijuana is not a “states' rights” issue under the U.S. Constitution. The Defendants have violated federal law by improperly assuming the roles of the U.S. Congress and the federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Defendants seek to impose their own policies and judgment over those of Congress and the federal agencies that are far better experienced and qualified, and are designated by federal law, to exercise such judgments and create such policies. Defendants' arbitrary and capricious foray into financing marijuana trafficking will harm our national controlled substances consumer protections including the food and drug protections of the Food and Drug Administration. The actions of the state in promoting marijuana trafficking do not protect the public's health, safety, and welfare. One example of how far the Defendants have gone in failing to protect the health and safety of New York's children is the state cannabis agency 2023 Mother's Day “Twitter” greeting. NYS Office of Cannabis Management May 12 Mothers across the nation have faced shame for their cannabis consumption, but anyone who knows a mom, knows, it takes more than grace to get through the day. This #MothersDay we want to end the stigma & share some insight. Tell us, how #NYcannabis has helped you in motherhood? The State of New York is advocating the use of today’s high potency marijuana to "help" mothers "get through the day.” Mothers are responsible for the care of their children, many children are helpless infants. “Mothers who are impaired cannot responsibly take of their children. This Mother's Day greeting is grossly irresponsible and utterly shameful having been issued by a government agency. It shows reckless obsession with promoting marijuana for supposed financial gain.” stated plaintiff Renee' Barchitta, MPA. There are far better projects to spend taxpayers’ money on than promoting marijuana use for mothers taking care of infants. "Plaintiffs are concerned about their quality of life and property rights. The state financed marijuana stores and related businesses will cause a diminution in their property values and rights and quality of life by having de facto criminal enterprises in their communities,” stated Hritz. Today’s marijuana is capable of wreaking havoc on the health, safety, economic strength and cognitive function of New York's citizens. Yet, for no other federally illegal drug is the gap so large between current scientific evidence of adverse consequences and the public perception. Investment by the State of New York in promoting marijuana trafficking will only make this worse. The state’s Mothers’s Day greeting shows its blindness to the consequences of what it is doing. In states that have (illegally) "legalized" marijuana, the marijuana industry is following the playbook of the tobacco and opiate industries in trying to get our kids addicted to ensure a new generation of customers. In 2020, the New York Medical Society and the State Medical Societies of New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Delaware issued a joint statement stating their opposition to legalization of marijuana citing many concerning factors including data showing that despite best efforts of states to limit the purchase of legal marijuana to adults, it has also led to a troubling increase in youth use. This warning was ignored by the Defendants. Marijuana “legal” states have higher rates of marijuana-related driving fatalities, greater emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and exposures, expansive criminal markets, as well as exacerbated racial disparities in industry participation and criminal justice enforcement. “There are many small business start-ups that would like to get their costs paid for by the government. Why should the state spend $200,000,000 on one industry that sells a harmful and addictive substance? This is an unfair use of public funds” stated Hritz. “The financing of marijuana trafficking is illegal whether it is done privately or by the government. This lawsuit is the first shot to stop it nationally. We are in the process of filing other lawsuits in other states to stop such financing,” stated David G. Evans Senior Counsel to Cannabis Industry Victims Educating Litigators whose organization supports the lawsuit. Climate Emergency To Produce a New World Order By Cliff Kincaid It’s no surprise that the Communist Party USA is promoting the September 17th March to End Fossil Fuels in New York City. Anything which weakens the United States is on their agenda. Meanwhile, the march is being held in conjunction with the U.N. Climate Ambition Summit, “the goal of which is to get world leaders to phase out fossil fuels.” This “goal,” if achieved, would destroy the United States. In the same way the United Nations is demanding trillions in reparations from the United States over slavery, the U.N. will be demanding trillions in “climate reparations” over capitalism. In fact, a “loss and damage” fund has already been established to collect the money. Ironically, out-of-towners are told to review the travel and logistics page for buses, trains, and carpools, in order to get to the New York City rally. The last time I checked, these modes of transportation used energy, including fossil fuels. What we have developing is a communist group timing a march in conjunction with the activities of a communist-front organization, the United Nations. Founded by Soviet spy Alger Hiss, we call the U.N. the House that Hiss built. If conservatives were smart, they would dump all the talk about impeaching Joe and Hunter over their convoluted bribery schemes and instead focus on the price of gas and other necessities caused by their green policies and inflation of the currency. This is something ordinary Americans understand. The March to End Fossil Fuels is designed to bankrupt the middle class. In addition to the “green energy” policies being imposed by the federal government, as Biden prepares to use emergency powers, the “progressive” states are moving ahead rapidly as well with their own policies. Maryland State Delegate Mark Fisher reports that Maryland passed the Climate Solutions Now Act of 2022 and will begin public hearings “to clamp-down on generators, refrigerators, farm animals -- you name it.” For those who think communism is dead, I would suggest examining what the CPUSA and other groups are doing these days. When they protest fossil fuels, their strategy is designed to make life harder for the “workers” they say they represent. They want to create more suffering. That, in their view, would help spark a revolution. On a global basis, they want a global government under the control of China and Russia. In order to mask the communist nature of this one-world government, Pope Francis will assume a central role. Under this pope, the Vatican has taken a strange turn, at odds with the anti-communism of Pope John Paul II and now functioning as an integral part of the international Left. The “liberation theology” movement and the reverence for the “Spirit of Gaia” or “Mother Earth” in the name of environmentalism have now assumed prominence under Francis, the first Jesuit pope. Like the FBI, Francis has recently been attacking traditional Catholics who believe in sustaining moral values, such as opposition to abortion and preserving the nuclear family. Taking the orders of Francis, the group Catholic Climate Covenant sponsored a “Laudato Si’ and the U.S. Catholic Church” conference with Creighton University that began with an opening speech by former U.N. official Christiana Figueres and ended by recognizing 13 individuals and organizations with Laudato Si’ Champion Awards. Francis’s environmental encyclical “Laudato Si: On Care for our Common Home,” cites the mystical views of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, a notorious New Ager described by Wallace Johnson, the author of The Death Of Evolution, as “a bridge between Christians and Marxists.” Figueres was Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) 2010-2016. We all know that the “Green Agenda” is benefitting Russia, with its vast oil reserves, but not as much attention has been given to how it works on behalf of Communist China. The benefits to China are summarized in an important new report, “Where Green Meets Red: How the Environmental Agenda is Making America Dependent on China.” The book, Red Roots, Green Shoots, explains how “Marxist environmentalism” is driving the hysteria over “climate change.” The author was the first chair of the Commission on Environment of the CPUSA. Of course, the scheduled New York City rally is not the first “climate march” to occur in the U.S. When President Trump was elected in 2016, a “People’s Climate March” was held, in order to stop his America First energy policies. The climate change scam, originally called “global warming,” was designed by Russia after the “collapse” of the old Soviet Union gave rise to the notion that the world could come together as one. It is one of the great Soviet/Russian deceptions. The upcoming New York City march will be joined by scores of communist and socialist groups, including the Ecosocialist Working group, which is part of the New York City Chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). It’s tempting to laugh at these climate protesters, as they use fossil fuels to get to their rallies. But many are desperate people under the influence of “green” dope, warning about a “climate collapse” that requires civil disobedience and violent tactics. You are beginning to see these people blocking traffic on the roads and highways. Adding to the hysteria, the establishment journal Foreign Affairs warns that “The Age of Climate Disaster Is Here.” The author, Alice Hill, is the David M. Rubenstein Senior Fellow for Energy and the Environment at the Council on Foreign Relations and the author of The Fight for Climate After COVID-19. You get the idea. So-called climate lockdowns will necessarily follow the COVID lockdowns. Before our YouTube channel was censored, we aired a program on how the New Age Movement could use Pope Francis as their “Messiah” for purposes of influence or control in what has been called a New World Order. The New Age Movement is very real, but except for the Marxist Jim Jones cult, whose followers committed mass suicide in Guyana, and Hollywood-based Scientology, we get very little attention or coverage of it. The U.N.’s brand of religion can be seen in the fact that a few blocks from the U.N. is the Quest Book Shop, where U.N. officials gather to meditate and read material from the Theosophical Society. Founded by a Russian mystic named Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831–1891), who wrote The Secret Doctrine, Theosophy teaches that man can become God through mystical experiences, and can even perform miracles. An occult Theosophist group called the Lucis Trust is in charge of the United Nations Meditation Room, where U.N. officials communicate with Mother Earth or other “spiritual” entities.
The Russians are Coming
By Cliff Kincaid If Vivek Ramaswamy is the future of the Republican Party, patriotic conservatives will have none of it. Claiming he is “the best candidate to push Trump’s agenda forward,” he has been accused of fudging his resume, to eliminate any mention of getting a Soros fellowship. Even worse, his performance at Wednesday’s debate was a foreign policy disaster, demonstrating extreme naiveté about the communist threat. Since Mike Pence did betray Trump with his failure to send the 2020 election results back to the states for reconsideration, it is difficult to say anything positive about Trump’s former vice-president. But on the debate stage he made a lot more foreign policy sense than Ramaswamy, a favorite of the Fox News Channel who has been rising in the polls. Consider Pence’s comments on the Reagan doctrine: “We said, ‘If you’re willing to fight the communists on your soil, we’ll give you the means to fight him there so our troops don’t have to fight him.’” This was a picture-perfect description of why it’s moral, necessary, and proper to support Ukraine. Ramaswamy responded, “I have a news flash, the USSR does not exist anymore. It fell back in 1990.” He seemed unaware that Russian President Vladimir Putin was a former KGB colonel who served the Soviet regime and still works with the Russian communists. This exchange then took place: Mike Pence: Did I say USSR? Vivek Ramaswamy: You talked about the communists and the real communists that we have to address right now… Mike Pence: Do you do not have any idea what Putin’s aims are? Vivek Ramaswamy: You already spoke, now I actually have something to say. Mike Pence: Vladimir Putin has been saying he wants to reestablish the old Soviet sphere of influence. After a diversion, Pence shot back, saying, “I’m sorry if I insulted him by calling him a communist. He’s a dictator and a murderer and the United States of America needs to stand against authoritarianism.” Technically, of course, Putin has dropped the communist label, operating under the political party known as “United Russia.” But the Russian Communist Party still exists, operating openly in support of Putin. “The Communist Party of the Russian Federation (KPRF) is the second largest party in Russia, yet their views are often ignored in Western media,” states a dispatch from an outfit called Break Through News. It directed me to a YouTube interview of a Russian communist spokesperson. The host, Rania Khalek, was joined by Roman Kononenko, a member of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the KPRF and First Secretary of the Saint Petersburg City Committee of the KPRF. This is interesting. My 500 anti-communist videos were terminated by YouTube. But the Russian Communists are given complete freedom to operate on that platform. What’s more, Break Through News solicits tax-deductible donations to put this communist propaganda on YouTube. The host is described as someone whose work has appeared at Common Dreams, Salon, The Nation, In These Times, Citizen Radio and more. Her website, “Dispatches from the Underclass,” includes an interview with Venezuela’s Foreign Minister Carlos Faria, Cuba’s foreign minister, and Hezbollah’s Second-In-Command Sheikh Naim Qassem. On February 23, 2023, on Putin’s own website, we are told that the Russian president had a meeting with Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov, leader of the Russian Federation Communist Party faction in the State Duma. It was cordial. Here’s what Putin told him, according to the official transcript: “I hope as a force representing a significant part of the country’s patriotic movement, the Communist Party will remain such going forward. The party makes a substantial contribution to the political discussion and the quest for the best solutions to move the country forward in the social sphere, the economy, defense and security – we have never had any differences on that level, I think. On the contrary, the Communist Party was often one step ahead and raised national security issues of today and tomorrow with authorities at all levels. Without a doubt, our dialogue is now doubly or even triply important.” (emphasis added). Does it sound like Putin has given up on communism? It sounds like the Russian Communist Party is a member of the ruling coalition and that Putin welcomes the participation of the communists in national life. What’s more, they are pursuing the same goals. In a letter sent to Russian president Vladimir Putin from Communist party chairman Gennady Zyuganov on April 13, 2023, the former KGB colonel was urged to launch a “patriotic front against the imperial west.” This letter was posted by the Communist Party of Britain. It sounds like the old Soviet-style communist propaganda. Meanwhile, the Communist Party USA is helping to organize what they call a “major national demonstration in D.C. to commemorate MLK's 1963 march” on Saturday, August 26th, marking the 60th anniversary of the original “March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.” The list of left-wing endorsers and sponsors is impressive and includes such groups as the National Education Association and the AFL-CIO. The Communist Party’s role, of course, is being carefully concealed and the former pawn of Moscow is not listed on the official list of sponsors. But anybody who reads its newspaper, the People’s World, understands it is a significant component of the national Democratic Party apparatus. It regularly publishes attacks on Trump, Republicans, and “right-wing” forces in such countries as anti-communist Poland. As we see, however, in Ramaswamy’s bizarre foreign policy views, Republicans have a problem of their own. Ramaswamy’s failure to understand Putin and Russia is a major embarrassment. Hopefully, it was enlightening to the audience, in that Republicans got a taste of what appeasement and surrender to Russia and China look like. This should be an opportunity to examine the Russian influence seeping into what passes as the modern “conservative” movement.
