    2. I was just reading that discussion a few minutes ago – it helped me understand a LOT more than I ever did before! And I also enjoyed Tradebait’s contribution – from what little I know, he’s right – manufacturing/producing is far more important than services any day of the week!

  7. EXCERPT: “The saddest thing is that these media outlets and their flag bearers really think their readers are all morons. The New York Times believes that, in the midst of the Omicron wave as boosted person after boosted person was getting COVID, they could tell you these particular vaccines are still the way to eradicate this thing, and expect you to deny reality and nod your head.

    It calls to mind the quote attributed to Solzhenitsyn (or Elena Gorokhova), “The rules are simple: they lie to us, we know they’re lying, they know we know they’re lying, but they keep lying to us, and we keep pretending to believe them.”

    We have ceded the better angels of our common cerebrum to people who may not have our best interests at heart, and a sycophantic laptop class who gleefully endorses their diktats and “fact-checks.” Collectively: Sophistry Inc.

    Their behavior, endorsed by every single entity which holds power in our society, is destroying us, and has already poisoned us such that there may be no antidote. Yes, first they came for the unvaccinated, but that doesn’t mean they won’t come for you next.”

  18. Wolfie has done a special post that is well worth the read. I have sent instructions to my Sister, and will send the same to my grandson, on contacting people if something happens to me.

    “In the immediate aftermath of the passing of our dear Wheatie, announced last Monday, I chose to deal with only the most substantive technicalities, in large part so that we could properly grieve, and not get caught up in mundane and mortal technicalities. Thus, many important questions for discussion were set aside.

    I will deal with those items, and much more, in this post.”

  24. Entire Article @ InsiderPaper:

    “WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on Friday filed an appeal against his extradition to the United States, as supporters denounced the British government. Assange, who turns 51 on Sunday, has been held in a high-security prison since 2019. On Friday his wife Stella was among dozens of people who demonstrated outside Britain’s interior ministry to demand his release.

    Home Secretary Priti Patel approved the extradition last month, but court officials confirmed to AFP an application to appeal had been received on Friday.

    “We’re not at the end of the road here,” Stella Assange, who married the Australian publisher earlier this year, told reporters when Patel announced her decision. “We’re going to fight this. We’re going to use every appeal avenue.”

    Assange is wanted to face trial for allegedly violating the US Espionage Act by publishing military and diplomatic files in 2010, related to the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. He could face decades in jail if found guilty, but supporters portray him as a martyr to press freedom after he was taken into UK custody following a years-long stay in Ecuador’s embassy.

    “He’s been in prison for telling the truth,” supporter Gloria Wildman, 79, told AFP at Friday’s protest. “If Julian Assange is not free, neither are we, none of us is free,” she said.”

  25. EXCERPT: “The United States is experiencing more tyranny presently than it did during the revolutionary period of 1776, according to author and historian Douglas MacKinnon. In a “Fox & Friends” interview on Saturday, MacKinnon warned host Rachel Campos-Duffy that America’s true history is no longer being taught in schools, and that America is oppressed by more tyranny now than in the year it was founded because of the left’s stranglehold on information, education, and science centers.

    “As bad as the tyranny was on in 1776 in many ways it is worse now in 2022 because the far left unfortunately has taken control over the 5 major megaphones of our nation,” MacKinnon said. “Meaning the media, entertainment, academia, and of late science and medicine. What these 56 men would tell us, unless and until they imprison us, unless and until they take our lives, we have our voices. They cannot silence us. We have to speak to the greatness of our country.”

    MacKinnon explained that he wrote the book “The 56” to honor the 56 patriots who risked it all to sign the Declaration of Independence.

    “Last July 3rd I wasn’t even thinking about writing this book,” he said. “Then on the 4th of July of last year I did a little bit of a video tour of some of the more liberal sites out, and on site after site, I saw guests on the left call not only for the cancellation of the 4th of July, but the cancellation of our Founding Fathers and the American flag.”

    “And at that point I decided and called my publisher and said, ‘If we don’t put out a book, if we don’t defend these men and we don’t defend that time, if we don’t defend the genius of that time and the Founding Fathers we are going to lose our chance to do so. American children do not learn that these are the heroes that created the greatest nation on the face of the earth,” he added.

    To MacKinnon’s point, leftist groups like the Women’s March and the Arizona’s Pima County Democrat Party are organizing “Fuck the Fourth” marches on Independence Day.”

  26. I cannot verify this source in any way….linked at LibertyDaily:

    “The CIA is recruiting ISIS terrorists to be sent to Ukraine. According to an inside source, the Kurds have already turned over to the US, many high-ranking members of Daesh as well as about 90 fighters. An informed source claims that the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is enlisting Daesh* terrorists confined in Syrian jails and camps under Kurdish administration in order to transport them to Ukraine.

    “According to available information, the US CIA is actively recruiting Daesh militants, held in Kurdish-controlled prisons and camps in northeast Syria. The Americans are transferring terrorists to their facilities under the pretext of conducting additional investigation with the prospect of [militants’] transfers to Europe,” the source said.

    According to the source, the Kurds have already turned over to the US many high-ranking members of Daesh as well as about 90 fighters, primarily from the EU, Iraq, the Chechen Republic of Russia, and Xinjiang, China. The US intends to place the militants on the grounds of its At-Tanf military facility in southern Syria for the time being.

    “In the future, Washington intends to send these militants to Ukraine so that they take part in hostilities against the Russian armed forces,” the source said.”

    *Daesh is a terrorist group that is outlawed in Russia. It is also referred to as ISIS/ISIL/IS.

  27. Entire Article @ FreeBeacon:

    “Blue state judges and liberal bureaucrats caught flak for littering their states with drop-boxes and accepting mail-in ballots during the 2020 election without permission from lawmakers. The Supreme Court is poised to stop them from doing it again in 2024.

    The justices announced Thursday that they will hear a case later this year involving the “independent state legislature theory,” which holds that state lawmakers alone control election procedures and redistricting. The news invigorated conservative groups who say bureaucratic tinkering with district lines and election laws is destroying public confidence in the political process.

    “Dark money-fueled left-wing lawyers have misused the courts to manipulate election laws and undermine commonsense voting safeguards for political gain,” the Honest Election Project’s Jason Snead said. “The Supreme Court now has the chance to uphold the Constitution and ensure that future elections have safeguards that make it easier to vote and harder to cheat.”

    The justices stepped into a heated debate by taking the case. Late-breaking changes to election procedures helped fuel former president Donald Trump’s narrative that Democrats stole the 2020 election. For their part, Democrats see the case as yet another attack on voting rights, and a bid to insulate pro-gerrymandering lawmakers from judicial scrutiny.

    The Constitution provides that the “time, place, and manner” of elections shall be “prescribed in each state by the legislature thereof.” A second rule with similar language governs selection of presidential electors. On that basis, Republican lawyers say each state legislature has the final say on election rules, such as voter ID laws or absentee balloting, as well as the decennial redistricting process. Neither state courts nor state agencies can interfere.

    The case the Court took Thursday comes from North Carolina, where the state supreme court set aside a congressional district map state lawmakers crafted and imposed its own, which is friendlier to Democrats. Republican leaders in North Carolina’s statehouse appealed to the Supreme Court, and noted disputes about election regulation plagued the last election.

    Ahead of the 2020 election, judges and bureaucrats across the country refashioned election rules on their own, citing the pandemic as justification. They suspended witness signature requirements for absentee ballots in South Carolina, relaxed deadlines for mail-in ballots in Minnesota, established universal vote-by-mail in California, and authorized drop boxes in Pennsylvania, all without input from lawmakers.

    “The question presented in this case, at root, is who is vested with the power to decide the when, what, where, and how of the American people’s exercise of self-government,” the North Carolina GOP’s petition reads.

    A victory for North Carolina Republicans would have immediate national ramifications. Republicans control 30 statehouses, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, and would be positioned to swiftly implement long-sought changes to voting rules without opposition from other branches of state government. They would also be in the driver’s seat for redistricting.

    Top GOP entities like the RNC, the party’s congressional campaign arm, filed an amicus brief backing North Carolina Republicans. The Court’s conservatives have already signaled their sympathy with the independent legislature position. In March, North Carolina Republicans asked the justices for an emergency order reinstating the legislature-drawn district lines. The High Court refused that request. In an opinion accompanying the order, Justice Samuel Alito said the Court will be forced to weigh in—and the sooner the better.

    “If the language of the Elections Clause is taken seriously, there must be some limit on the authority of state courts to countermand actions taken by state legislatures when they are prescribing rules for the conduct of federal elections,” Alito wrote. Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch joined the opinion. Justice Brett Kavanaugh has expressed similar views.

    Critics counter that independent legislature doctrine is hostile to states’ rights. Each state has laws and constitutional provisions which guarantee voting rights. Administrators and state courts enforce those laws to protect the political process. If the Supreme Court privileges the legislature over state constitutions and other branches of government, critics say, it will undermine federalism.

    The idea that legislatures have unchecked power over elections was central to Trump’s push to undo election certification in several states. A coterie of outside loyalists urged Republican lawmakers in battleground states to ignore the election results and select pro-Trump electors, citing the untested independent legislature doctrine.

    It is far from obvious that statehouse primacy on election regulation empowers lawmakers to ignore the will of the people. But progressives nonetheless cast Thursday’s grant as a sign the High Court will help Republicans cheat in 2024.

    “We are witnessing a judicial coup in process,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) wrote on Twitter.”
