Liberal HYPOCRISY Will CRUSH Dems in Midterms!!! [7:55] Dr. Steve Turley
[Ed.: Steve Turley is truly great. Optimism sells! Having hope is essential for life itself. Without a doubt, we will win the election by a record-breaking landslide (again,) but a few days later they will have won the election, exactly like last time. Things are not always as they appear. It appears that the Democrats are losing with every step, every day. But, they know that they will win in the end by cheating, regardless of our meaningless votes! I am a realist. I prefer that over unwarranted optimism. This way, I will not be surprised or disappointed, and will have seen it coming every day for two years and 10 months.]
Western Dissonance to Foreign Invasions: Armenia vs Ukraine by Raymond Ibrahim
The following article, written for RaymondIbrahim.com by Trey Blanton, on location in Armenia, discusses an important question: Whereas the U.S. and other Western nations have been immensely responsive to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, they have showed zero interest in another, very similar provocation — Azerbaijan’s invasion of Armenia.
Trey Blanton, STEPANAKERT, Artsakh (CINFUSA.org) — Azerbaijan’s two-day “diplomatic bombardment” came to an end Wednesday night after Armenia and the Azeris agreed to a cease-fire.
I refer to Azeri President Ilham Aliyev’s invasion of his sovereign neighbor as a “diplomatic bombardment” because, in the eyes of Azerbaijan, the use of bullying tactics with a military assault constitutes a valid foreign policy of forcing Armenia to accept peace on Aliyev’s terms — who has time for negotiations, after all?
I have been in the Republic of Artsakh for three months, and hope to stay another two, and three things have become apparent to me in this time concerning the Armenian people’s concerns:
- Unprovoked military assaults by Azerbaijan have become “the new normal” since the end of the 2020 war.
- Many Armenians fear that Armenian Prime Minister Nicol Pashinyan will offer up the Republic of Artsakh on a silver platter to placate Aliyev.
- There is a wide gulf in the way Europe and the United States responded to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, versus Azerbaijan’s invasion of Armenia.
I, as an American, think the last point bears asking, “Why?”

Mohammed Ali said, “It’s ain’t bragging if you can back it up.” So, I think it’s okay to tout the fact that I’ve come up with quite a few ideas over the years that were adopted by major GOP leaders- including the President of the United States and now the best Governor in America.
I was the guy who recommended President Trump declare a national security emergency at the border- which would allow him to grab money from the Pentagon budget to build the wall.
I’m proud to report that liberals melted down.
I was the first to recommend President Trump become Speaker of the House after Republicans win the upcoming midterms. That way Trump can lead the impeachment of Biden and investigations into the DOJ and FBI. My interview with Trump on this topic made headlines all over the world.
Enforcing the Natural Born Citizen Clause by A2 Guardian
The Constitutional Convention of 1787 yielded the U.S. Constitution, whose Article II, Section 1, clause 5 states, “
(Sep. 17, 2022) — If you defund the police, any sane person would rationally conclude that crime will increase. As many municipalities in recent years have enacted anarchistic public policies reducing police budgets, the police have been the first to acknowledge the devastating rise in violence and crime.
The explosion of illegal immigration across the national sovereign borders of the United States during the Biden Administration is a national security threat, incontrovertibly documented by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
If that isn’t bad enough, the damage to the rule of law is exacerbated by the Biden Administration’s clandestine operations that have relocated these illegals by the thousands to numerous states throughout the country rather than simply enforcing the current immigration laws that already exist. In turn, several state Governors have responded by transporting illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities that officially sanction their safe harbor within their jurisdictions. Again, any sane person would rationally conclude the rule of law is broken.
More and more Americans are waking up to the reality that the government at all levels is not only abdicating its responsibility to enforce the laws, but is actively working to subvert them. Consequently, the electorate no longer finds it unfathomable for a corrupt body politic to not only allow ballot access for ineligible candidates, but to overtly conspire in the treasonous usurpation of the Office of the President of the United States.
So, as we celebrate Constitution Day, let us take pause and heed the wise counsel of the late Dr. Herb Titus in this lecture on the importance of our President being a Natural Born Citizen. Video is courtesy of the Institute on the Constitution, First Friday Lecture Series.

Dr. Harvey Risch: Biggest Lie of last 29 Months of COVID Pandemic Was Hydroxychloroquine – Hundreds of Thousands Died as a Result (VIDEO 5:08) By Jim Hoft
Steve Deace recently interviewed Dr. Harvey Risch, Professor Emeritus of Epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health. Dr. Risch’s work has been cited nearly 50,000 times in journals and studies. He is also an MD.
Steve Deace asked Dr. Risch what was the biggest lie of the last 29 months of COVID pandemic.
Dr. Risch says it was the lies about hydroxychloroquine in treating COVID 19.
The FDA hid the evidence that HCQ was effective in the early treatment of the disease. Hundreds of thousands of people died as a result of this lie. The CDC-FDA officials promoted the questionable experimental vaccines instead and this helped Big Pharma make billions.
This was a must-see interview:
Court Orders Bill Gates, Indian Government to Respond to Lawsuit Filed by Family of Woman Who Died After AstraZeneca Vaccine By Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D.
An Indian court ordered Bill Gates, the Indian government and the Serum Institute of India — the world’s largest vaccine manufacturer — to provide formal responses relating to a case filed by the father of a 33-year-old doctor who died after receiving AstraZeneca’s Covishield COVID-19 vaccine.
An Indian court ordered Bill Gates, the Indian government and the Serum Institute of India — the world’s largest vaccine manufacturer — to provide formal responses relating to a case filed by the father of a woman who died after receiving AstraZeneca’s Covishield COVID-19 vaccine.
The High Court of Judicature at Bombay set a Nov. 17 deadline for the responses and scheduled a hearing for the same day.
In a lawsuit filed in February, Dilip Lunawat alleged his daughter, Snehal Lunawat, died March 1, 2021, of complications arising from the Covishield vaccine. He is seeking compensation of ₹1000 crores (approximately $126 million).
According to the lawsuit, Lunawat “lost his elder daughter. His loss can neither be explained in words nor can be compensated in terms of money. Only some sort of succour can be done by awarding compensation.”
[Ed.: Although the contracts signed with Big Pharma, stipulate that they are not liable for damages from their ‘vaccines’, (which is in itself questionable,) Governments, States, hospitals and individuals (read: doctors and nurses) can be held liable. This is of major importance, and a definite part of the solution.]
Pentagon watchdog flags potentially illegal blanket denials of COVID vax religious exemptions
Secretary of Defense sat on explosive inspector general memo for months before forwarding to service secretaries, department general counsel.
The Defense Department’s inspector general has alerted the secretary of defense to apparent blanket denials of religious accommodation requests (RAR) for exemptions from the military COVID-19 vaccine mandate, which would be a violation of federal law.
The memo details “potential noncompliance with standards for reviewing and documenting the denial of religious accommodation requests of Service members.” The acting inspector general noted that “dozens of complaints” had been received regarding denied RARs.
“We have found a trend of generalized assessments rather than the individualized assessment that is required by Federal law and DoD and Military Service policies,” wrote acting Inspector General Sean O’Donnell.

On March 23, 2022 there was a third meeting between representatives from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), the Boro Pork Jewish Community Council (BPJCC), the Boro Park Y (BPY), and the Jewish Orthodox Women’s Medical Association (JOWMA). The main order of business, as usual, was conspiring to infiltrate the Orthodox Jewish world with culturally tailored “vaccine” propaganda. (The meeting notes are available here.)
The meeting started, as always, with a detailed breakdown of “vaccination” rates based on zip codes, age, and ethnicity. These government representatives and their operatives on the ground are obsessed with race and targeting populations with tailored propaganda based on race – all in the name of fighting racism. They could rebrand hell as heaven and sell tickets for it, too.
The rest of the meeting was taken over by JOWMA. JOWMA’s official mission as stated on its tax forms is “To support and advance the careers of religious Jewish female physicians through educational, networking and mentoring opportunities.” That little cover story doesn’t stand up to a moment’s scrutiny. JOWMA’s real mission is to infiltrate the Orthodox Jewish world with vaccine propaganda and messages that are antithetical to the Torah. This is pretty much all they do, and the little else they do is mere camouflage. These harsh accusations are substantiated in great detail here.

President Trump Asks How Much More Democrat Corruption and Destruction the American People Are Willing to Stand By Joe Hoft
Last night President Trump gave a speech in Youngstown, Ohio, that many claimed was his best yet. He outlined perfectly the corruption and destruction of America that is currently taking place.
Then yesterday, President Trump released a Truth on Truth Social where he asks how much more the American people are willing to take.
[Ed.: We will have to take a whole lot more, Donald, because we no longer have an election system that can vote them out. You already know that, after we voted you in, in 2020. So, are you asking a rhetorical question, sir? It’s rubbing salt in the wound after you just walked away, and turned the country over to the enemy, sir. If we can take that, we can and will take the elimination of our nation quietly, lying down. That is the rhetorical answer to your question, sir.]
Election deniers? 82 Democrats who called GOP election wins questionable, illegitimate or stolen
“Without voter suppression, Stacey Abrams would be the governor of Georgia; Andrew Gillum is the governor of Florida,” then-Sen. Kamala Harris said.
Democrats and their media allies have sought to stigmatize Republicans concerned about 2020 voting irregularities as “election deniers,” yet scores of leading Democrats have themselves raised concerns about elections won by Republicans since 2000, including claiming elections were stolen and attempting to change the outcome of presidential elections by objecting to the certification of state electoral college votes.
[Ed.: They’re doing that reversal thing again! They’re ‘projecting’!]

Protests Break Out in Iran After Regime’s “Morality Police” Beats Woman to Death Over Forced Hijab Rules By Margaret Flavin
A 22-year-old Iranian woman, Mahsa Amini, died Friday from injuries sustained after her arrest for the “improper” wearing of a hijab. Protests have erupted over the weekend for multiple days in Sanandaj, capital of Kurdistan province.
Iranian “morality police” are notorious for their brutality, crimes that big-tech like YouTube aid in covering up. The Gateway Pundit reported on an Iranian woman who was questioned by the “morality police” and then run over by their van.
While Iranian police deny any violence in the death of Mahsa, her family is speaking out.

7 More Buses Full of Illegal Aliens Heading to New York City Left El Paso Yesterday By Cristina Laila
Keep ’em coming!
Governors Abbott, Ducey and DeSantis need to keep busing and flying illegals to Democrat sanctuary cities.
So far illegals have been transported to Chicago, New York City, DC and Martha’s Vineyard.
Texas Governor Abbott this week sent busloads of illegals to Kamala Harris’ front yard in DC.
The first busload of illegal immigrants sent by Governor Greg Abbott of Texas arrived in New York City in early August.
According to a statement released by the office of the Governor of Texas over the summer, the first bus carrying roughly 50 immigrants from Venezuela, Ecuador, Honduras, and Colombia arrived at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in August.
Texas has transported 2,365 illegals on 51 buses to New York City since August 23, Fox News reported.
“Because of President Biden’s continued refusal to acknowledge the crisis caused by his open border policies, the State of Texas has had to take unprecedented action to keep our communities safe,” said Governor Abbott in a previous statement.
This is just the beginning because Abbott just sent 7 more buses full of illegals to New York City.
7 buses left El Paso on Friday en route to NYC, according to Fox News.
El Paso also signed a contract worth $2 million with the bus company to continue busing illegals to other states.
Terrorist lived in Germany for years after 1972 massacre of Israeli athletes – report By World Israel News
According to a report in a Germany daily, circulated by AFP, the Palestinian terrorist remained in the country with full knowledge of the German authorities.
One of the Palestinian terrorists responsible for the 1972 Munich massacre of 11 Israeli athletes remained in the country for several years with the knowledge of German police, the Suddeutsche Zeitung reported on Saturday, according to AFP.
On September 5, 1972, eight members of the Black September terror group – an offshoot of the Palestinian Fatah movement, currently led by PA President Mahmoud Abbas – scaled a fence surrounding the Olympic Village in Munich. They shot dead two Israeli athletes and took another nine as hostages. During a bungled rescue operation, all nine captives were killed along with five of the eight terrorists and a police officer, AFP notes.
The three remaining hostage-takers were captured but released several weeks later in an exchange, when terrorists hijacked a Lufthansa plane on Oct. 29, 1972.
According to the Suddeutsche Zeitung, citing a report in the Munich police archives, one of the three terrorists resided in Berlin for years following his release.
“The Munich police – in charge of investigating the attack – was told by the BKA federal police that the Palestinian in question was living in West Berlin and that he went to East Berlin almost daily, to work at the office of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO),” AFP writes, citing the German daily.
IRS unmasked: Away from politics, America’s tax agency has lots of warts, and ammunition By John Solomon
Aside from history of alleged abuses, tax agency struggles with customer service, data security and audit targeting.
The Internal Revenue Service has long been a political football. Democrats alleged that in the 1960s it was used by Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon to subvert civil rights and anti-Vietnam War activists, while Republicans alleged a decade ago it wrongly targeted Tea Party and other conservative groups.
More recently, Democrats have argued the tax agency needs $80 billion in new enforcement to end tax cheating and ease budget deficits, while Republicans say the new spending signed by President Joe Biden will only create an army of 87,000 armed agents intent on wreaking havoc on the middle and working classes.
With so much emotion, scandal and political rhetoric, it’s sometimes hard for everyday Americans to sort fact from fiction. So the team here at Just the News did a deep dive to put together a list of facts about the IRS that aren’t in dispute, from whom it audits to why it buys ammunition and arms its agents.
Here’s what we found:
[Ed.: What’s all this I’m hearing about 87,000 armed, nude agents? …Oh! That’s very different! Nevermind.]
IP addresses in China, Russia, Iran, Cuba among recipients of US COVID-19 small business loan funds By Mary Lou Lang
The Small Business Administration disbursed over 41,000 Economic Injury Disaster Loans worth $1.3B to foreign IP addresses, according to IG report.
The Golden Horseshoe is a weekly designation from Just The News intended to highlight egregious examples of wasteful taxpayer spending by the government. The award is named for the horseshoe-shaped toilet seats for military airplanes that cost the Pentagon a whopping $640 each back in the 1980s.
This week’s Golden Horseshoe is awarded to the Small Business Administration for disbursing millions of taxpayer dollars in COVID-19 loans intended to keep American businesses afloat to foreign IP addresses in China, Russia and countries designated state sponsors of terror by the State Department, according to a newly released inspector general report.
Inspector General Hannibal “Mike” Ware found the SBA received millions of applications from foreign IP addresses for COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) and while it stopped most of them, tens of thousands of loans were disbursed.
Trump accuses Biden of waging unprecedented ‘political repression’ that will backfire in election
Former president also slams Biden’s inflationary economic policies for “incinerating trillions of dollars of middle-class wealth.”
Former President Donald Trump leveled a blistering attack Saturday night against the man who succeeded him in the White House, telling a rally in Ohio that Joe Biden’s Justice Department was waging unprecedented “political repression” against MAGA supporters while his inflationary economic policies were “incinerating trillions of dollars of middle-class wealth.”
“Our country is being ripped apart, and the American dream is being torn to shreds,” Trump told thousands of cheering fans who attended the rally in blue-collar Youngstown, Ohio, to support GOP candidates like Senate nominee J.D. Vance. “Sad, sad, sad what’s happening.”
Trump mixed a withering assessment of Biden inflation with his most direct denunciation yet of a Justice Department and FBI that has raided his Mar-a-Lago estate as well as seized phones and evidence from scores of his supporters in connection with a probe into the Jan. 6 riots. He called the investigations “unhinged persecution.”
“What they’ve done, the radical Democrats and the deep state, is a form of political repression unlike anything our nation has ever seen. It’s a disgrace,” he said, alleging some of his supporters have been threatened with up to 10 years in prison unless they provide evidence to help indict the former president.
Martha’s Vineyard Takes Revenge On DeSantis By Shipping Him 50 Karens BabylonBee.com
TALLAHASSEE, FL — Outraged at having been sent 50 illegal immigrants from Florida by Ron DeSantis, Martha’s Vineyard has taken ultimate revenge on the governor by shipping 50 Karens to Florida.
“Perhaps now DeSantis will think twice before he sullies our pristine white island with brown migrant people,” said Martha’s Vineyard HOA President Karen VonSchnitzel. “Once the charter flight filled with our neighborhood’s most insufferable Karens touches down in Tallahassee, he will rue the day he made us look like heartless racists in front of the entire country. HAHAHAHAHA!”
The group of 50 Karens was selected from over 478 Karens who volunteered for the flight, as most women who live on the island are named Karen. “Hopefully this political stunt will help DeSATAN see the error of his ways,” said HOA Vice President Karen Bohannan. “If not, we’ll send even more. There are plenty more Karens where that came from!”
Once the Karens land in Florida, they have been instructed to wreak havoc on the locals by walking into establishments and demanding to see the manager, calling the police on black joggers, and driving slowly in the left lane. Locals have mobilized to prepare for the onslaught by building walls of sandbags and boarding up windows.

The Holocaust As a Moral Choice: Part X: The Toll of ‘Remaining Decent’ By Alex Grobman PhD.
*Editor’s Note: Part X in a new series on the Holocaust from Alex Grobman, PhD
In the East, “most of the Jews” were murdered through mass executions–“a killing procedure that had proven its effectiveness, despite [Reichsführer SS] Himmler’s concern about the side effects for the perpetrators” and frequent objections from within the German hierarchy, according to historian Christopher R. Browning. [1] By the end of 1941, between 500,000 and 800,000 Jewish civilians had been murdered and whole regions were reported to be judenrein (free of Jews). Many of the surviving Jews were imprisoned in ghettos established at the beginning of August 1941. [2]
From the beginning of Operation Barbarossa until the end of September 1941, the number of victims murdered had increased from “hundreds to many thousands,” and expanded to include Jews of every age and both sexes. In the occupied Soviet Union, more than 76,000 were killed in Lithuania. More than 44,000 were murdered in Ukraine by early September; in Kamenets-Podolsk nearly 24,000 Jews were murdered between August 27 and 30; and in the Babi Yar ravine near Kiev, 33,771 were murdered on September 29 and 30. [3]
Part VIII: Urgent Necessity to Find a Refuge: Why Not America? By Alex Grobman PhD.
*Editor’s Note: This is part VIII in a series from Dr. Grobman. You can read Part VII, here
The critical need to find a refuge in light of the wretched conditions Jews faced in Europe, became a popular theme in the Jewish press. In the August-September 1940 issue of The Call, the Jewish Labor Committee declared that America “must not lock her doors in the face of these helpless, these suffering men and women.” The Committee saw no viable alternative and wanted an immediate change in the immigration laws so the refugees could be saved. The Forward also demanded that America’s “doors remain open,” as did two liberal periodicals, The New Republic and The Nation.
In the Yiddish daily Der Tog, Samuel Margoshes remarked that he had heard much discussion the press and elsewhere about American’s great compassion, and concern for human rights and freedom. Where he asked, is the compassion when the refugees desperately needed their help. Instead of throwing open the gates of the United States to the refugees, the gates had been closed even tighter. Everywhere immigration had been drastically decreased, if not stopped entirely. They regarded the stranger with suspicion and often with disgust. The world had closed “its heart to pity and compassion.”
In another editorial, Margoshes suggested the U.S. “could open its doors even temporarily.” America, he said, never had “as great an opportunity to prove to the world that it is still the beacon light for all weak and oppressed.”

Calls grow among prominent figures to create a new ‘Church Committee’ to probe FBI abuses
From bureau veterans to key lawmakers in Congress, the notion of an independent review is growing in urgency.
A half century ago, Americans held grave concerns that J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI and other U.S. intelligence agencies had abused civil rights, improperly targeted enemies and illegally gathered evidence, so Congress set out on a great cleansing mission. It formed a special committee chaired by Idaho Sen. Frank Church that laid bare the wrongdoing, overhauled the bureau and created new guardrails to protect civil liberties.
A growing number of influential figures in Washington are arguing it’s time for another Church Committee after a tumultuous six years in which the FBI admitted it misled the FISA court while spying on Donald Trump’s campaign, had executives who lied, doctored evidence or usurped prosecutors’ authority, and employed agents who dropped the ball on a sexual abuse scandal involving Olympians and over-collected evidence in a raid of a former president’s home.
