THE BIG PICTURE 

Better Than… – “It seems that the concept of “better than . . .” has completely left the human experience. And wow, what a big deal that is! I mean the entire foundation of human, as well as animal, evolution is based on “survival of the fittest.” Is it really true that we have “evolved” to a point where none of that matters anymore? That we can just stagnate and never “move forward” and never become “better than . . . (fill in the blank).” Is that really what the point of being human has become? You are good enough as you are, you are the same as everyone else, and you are the same as you were when you were 10 years old and that is just fine.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP – GOOD ONE FROM TODD AS USUAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Marxist Globalism Will Not Survive – “In the end, Marxist globalism will fail. The Machiavellian push for One World Government will fail. The World Economic Forum’s master plan for a small cabal of egomaniacal “elites” to rule over Earth’s eight-billion-plus inhabitants will fail. Why? Because those who conspire to foist such despotism upon the rest of us have no meaningful vision for the future. Surviving in tiny apartments in mega-metropolises, owning nothing of our own, subsisting on a diet of bugs and Soylent Green, anesthetizing our minds with narcotics and virtual reality, and remaining in a perpetual state of fear over man-made “climate change” is no way to live. Existence without struggle, adventure, growth, or purpose is hollow. ” – J.B. Shurk

The Sicilian Message . . . Meant for Us – “Will Trump become even stronger now that he’s been created a “felon” – 34 times! – by a “court” (and jury) that everyone understands was convened to convict him? Once government goes really bad – as the one that controls this country manifestly has – there is but one way to un-corrupt it and that is to rid ourselves of it. What happened to Trump is not about Trump. It is about what is going to happen to us – now that the precedent has been set that anyone can be created a “felon” anytime the government decides to create any of us as one. Trump wasn’t so much taught a lesson as we were sent a message.” – Eric Peters

A New Declaration of Independence – “It seems almost absurd to be writing about the Constitution when Biden hasn’t talked to Putin since the day of the invasion and US/NATO are run by tyrannical children who don’t have the word diplomacy in their lexicon. They, instead, dabble in nuclear war. Even if the insane get their way, destroying the republic in their wake, leaving us with civil war, any new government of the people will necessitate that we understand the founding principles, checks/balances, and freedoms preserved by mandated powers. Americans need a new Declaration of Independence because Federal and some State governments have usurped rights belonging to the citizens. ” – neverhadaboss.com  – A GOOD READ FROM ERIK, ONCE AGAIN!!!!

The Trump show trial has fooled no one – “This is blatant political persecution – and it will have grave consequences for democracy.” – Jenny Holland

Bearing Witness To The Downfall Of Our Constitutional Republic – “I have watched a man who does not need us, even though we need him, dragged through the streets of New York in an almost medieval manner. All that was missing was either tar and feathering him by breathless spectators or cries of “hang him.” – Allan J. Feifer

Jill Biden Warns Trump Will Put ‘All of Our Rights’ in Danger – Nick R. Hamilton – I THOUGHT JOE ALREADY DID THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The US Empire Isn’t A Government That Runs Nonstop Wars, It’s A Nonstop War That Runs A Government – “It clears up a lot of confusion when you understand that the US empire is not a national government which happens to run nonstop military operations, it’s a nonstop military operation that happens to run a national government.” – Caitlin Johnstone

Massacre upon massacre in Rafah, while Biden keeps Netanyahu in power – “Israel can get away with mass-murder because the world’s superpower, USA, defends and excuses them of accountability.” – Steven Sahiounie

The contradiction of ‘white privilege’ – “The chances are good that someone you encountered today, even secondhand, said something about privilege. Where the term was once used to denote something desirable, it’s now a mark of shame. Privilege is a bad thing in all forms, but especially white privilege. What’s more, in many circles, the term is accepted without question. Of course white people are privileged. Of course we have it easier.So why does it seem we have so many people trying to pass as ethnicities other than white? If all the advantage is in being white, why do people who could feasibly benefit from their whiteness try to pretend to be something else? Why make life harder on yourself? ” – Tom Knighton

Beware of the Boy Scouts – “The AWFULs continue their destruction of America… I consider the years I spent in the Boy Scouts an overwhelmingly positive time of my life. Growing up in the 1950s and early 60s, scouting taught me to respect God and my country. But today, what the organization has become makes me want to puke…” – Jim McCraigh

Catholic Churches Going Bankrupt as Families Abandon the Church to Protect their Children from Pedophile Priests – “The bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fresno says the diocese plans to file for bankruptcy in a matter of months. That’s following what it calls a “Surge” in clergy sexual abuse claims. The California sexual abuse and Cover-up Accountability Act helped bring the number of credible accusations within the Diocese of Fresno to 154 cases, dating back decades. The bishop says the only way to resolve every claim fairly and compassionately is to file for bankruptcy.” – Brian Shilhavy

Buttigieg Blames His Lackluster Achievement on Climate Change – ‘It’s the weather, stupid. What has Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg done in the past three-and-a-half years? Some might say not much of anything substantial. Under Secretary Butigieg’s watch, barges have obliterated bridges, train derailments have resulted in toxic poisoning, and airplanes were diverted for all sorts of mechanical errors. Only “seven or eight” EV charging stations have been completed, although the goal is half a million by the decade’s end. What is stopping all those Build Back Better promises from President Joe Biden? According to his pal Pete, it’s climate change.” – Sarah Cowgill

Why Consumers Are Angry About the Economy in Five Pictures – Mish

Renters and Owners Live in Separate Economies – “It turns out renters and homeowners are living in two entirely different economies, at least according to a new study by the Federal Reserve. Who, ironically enough, made it happen. In short, renters are in dire straits financially, while homeowners are “continuing to reap the rewards” of cheap pandemic money that left renters with nothing but inflation.” – Peter St Onge

BIDENFLATION: McDonald’s Menu Prices Up 40% Since 2019. – “While Erlinger sought to refute claims by House Republicans — among others — that menu price hikes exceeded 100 percent, he did confirm that inflation has forced a drastic rise in food costs. He attributed these rises to increased costs in salaries and source products. The prospect of a re-acceleration of inflation has left the Biden government and presidential campaign in denial. Three straight months of increasing inflation have forced the 81-year-old Democrat to avoid discussing the U.S. economy on the 2024 campaign trail. Instead, Biden and his surrogates have opted to either deny that inflation is a problem or, most recently, falsely insist that inflation has actually decreased since he took office.” – The National Pulse
