NOTABLE QUOTES

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus Director General of the World Health Organization: Our food systems are harming the health of people and planet. Food systems contribute to over 30% of greenhouse gas emissions, and account for almost one third of the global burden of disease. Transforming food systems is therefore essential.

John Christy, a climatologist and professor of atmospheric science at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and the director of the Earth System Science Center: “CO2 has been unfairly demonized because it is actually plant food in its atmospheric form, and it is the consequence of generating carbon-based energy, which unquestionably improves lives around the world,” he said. He calls CO2 the “currency of life.”

Thomas Catenacci contributor to Fox News: “Spurred by government actions and court decisions — and accompanied by a drumbeat of growing impacts — a rule of law of climate change is emerging,” the brief states. “ELI’s Climate Judiciary Project is preparing the bench to understand the science and ensure justice in the new legal environment.” In 2022, the Environmental Law Institute said it led 80 events, ranging from conferences, policy forums and boot camps on topics that included climate change, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, decarbonization, the Endangered Species Act, energy law, environmental criminal enforcement, environmental justice and ESG (environmental, social and corporate governance).

John F. Di Leo contributor to American Thinker: America has moved from traditional AC plug-in technology (which could be made anywhere) to cordless technology (which depends on lithium ion batteries almost entirely sourced in China).  Almost everything we do, everything we use, everything we depend on, is either partially or wholly dependent on trade with the most malevolent, militant, and expansion-minded country on earth.

James Howard Kunstler blog: You may have noticed that our country, formerly a republic of sovereign individuals, has become one great big racketeering operation run by a mafia-like cabal with Marxist characteristics — or, at least, Marxist pretenses. That is, it seeks to profit by every avenue of dishonesty and coercion, under the guise of rescuing the “oppressed and marginalized” from their alleged tormenters. Apparently, half the country likes it that way. Much of the on-the-ground action in this degenerate enterprise is produced by various hustles. A hustle is a particularly low-grade, insultingly obvious racket, such as Black Lives Matter, DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion), and “trans women” (i.e., men) in women’s sports. Some of the profit in any hustle is plain moneygrubbing, of course. But there’s also an emotional payoff. Hustlers and racketeers are often sadists, so the gratification derived from snookering the credulous (feelings of power) gets amplified by the extra thrill of seeing the credulous suffer pain, humiliation, and personal ruin.

Brian C. Joondeph contributor to American Thinker: At the rate we are going, soon the entire world may migrate to America for free food, shelter, education, health care, and even voting rights. The latter perk is the real reason Democrats want open borders as Americans won’t vote for their nonsensical proposals and candidates. Imagine Democrat ballot-harvesting dreams with tens of millions of illegal migrants on the voter rolls, being sent ballots deemed undeliverable, that harvesters retrieve, fill out, and stuff into the nearest drop box.

DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: ABOLISH THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Benjamin Franklin Founding Father:Freedom of speech is a principal pillar of a free government; when this support is taken away, the constitution of a free society is dissolved, and tyranny is erected on its ruins.”

Turley: Are You in an Anti-Free Speech State? We Now Have The Definitive List

For years, we have discussed the alarming shift in the Democratic party on free speech with candidates running on pledges to censor opposing views and politicians supporting blacklisting and censorship on social media. Many citizens oppose such efforts to restrict their rights under the First Amendment, but are unaware of the work of their representatives to limit free speech. Now, a filing in the Supreme Court supporting censorship efforts by the Biden Administration has supplied a handy list of the anti-free speech states for citizens. […] So here is the list to see if you are residing in an anti-free speech state: […] Here is the brief: Amicus Brief for NY et al in Support of Petitioners

BIDEN’S DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: PERSECUTE YOUR OPPOSITION, PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP & HIS FORMER TRUMP EMPLOYEES, SUPPORTERS & WH STAFF

Hubbard: Jack Smith asks court to ban Trump from introducing evidence of Jan. 6 security failures

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office asked a federal judge Wednesday to prevent former President Donald Trump from introducing evidence at his Jan. 6 criminal trial concerning selective prosecution and security failures that occurred at the Capitol or making arguments his actions were protected by the First Amendment, suggesting such a defense amounted to politics. Trump has tried “to inject into this case partisan political attacks and irrelevant and prejudicial issues that have no place in a jury trial,” Senior Assistant Special Counsel Molly Gaston wrote in the court filing. The special counsel is seeking to bar Trump from claiming that he is being selectively prosecuted and introducing evidence supporting such allegations.

Hubbard: Rep. Perry ordered to give federal prosecutors over 1,600 messages in Trump 2020 election case

D.C. federal judge ordered Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., to give federal prosecutors more than 1,600 text messages, emails and other communications connected to the investigation of former President Donald Trump and his allies’ alleged attempt to alter the 2020 election results. […] Boasberg concluded that the 1,659 communications were not subject to the Constitution’s “speech or debate” clause – which prohibits prosecutors and courts from looking into official congressional business – because the messages had little to do with Perry’s job as a lawmaker.

Revolver.news: CIA’s secret plot against Julian Assange could be fully exposed thanks to a bombshell court ruling…

The never-ending saga surrounding Julian Assange is taking an interesting turn. The latest development is a bombshell court decision that could potentially open a CIA “Pandora’s Box,” revealing secretive operation details on WikiLeaks founder and political prisoner Julian Assange. This twist in the saga began when four American citizens—two lawyers and two journalists—sued former CIA Director and RINO traitor Mike Pompeo, the entire CIA, and a man by the name of David Morales, a former Spanish special forces soldier, who ran a surveillance company contracted to secure the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where Assange was housed. Well, that recent court decision in New York has found that the CIA, along with Morales’ surveillance company, conducted unauthorized surveillance on journalists and attorneys who visited Julian Assange. Now, what this does is open the door for the release of documents that will shed light on the full scale of the clandestine operation by the United States against Assange. A lot of people are probably sweating bullets right now.

Durden: “It’s Disgusting What They’re Doing”: Tucker Carlson Describes Visit With Julian Assange

As Julian Assange approaches his ‘final’ appeal against extradition to the United States, where he faces some 18 counts related to the release of vast troves of damning and embarrassing evidence against the US government, the 52-year-old WikiLeaks founder received a visit from Tucker Carlson to discuss his situation. Carlson describes Assange as “one of the greatest journalists of our age,” who has “spent his adult life bringing previously concealed facts to the public about what our leaders are doing.” […] Subscribers to the Tucker Carlson Network (which of course, everyone should be) can watch the rest of the segment, in which Carlson describes sitting down with Assange for around an hour (no cameras allowed). He also discusses the situation with Assange’s wife, Stella.

Highlights:

  • “We talked about why he is in prison, and my first question to him was: ‘what do you think this is actually about?’,” to which Assange replied that he “first became famous when WikiLeaks published documents and videos that the US government had kept secret from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that were politically embarrassing to the Pentagon – but that wasn’t the red line. The red line was several years later, when WikiLeaks published information about surveillance by the CIA.
  • “It’s a total outrage that they’re holding him, and he hasn’t even committed or been charged with a crime in this country.”
  • The inmates are treated like animals. And he’s not an animal, he’s a journalist who has committed no crime. And so, anyone who’s in favor of that, anyone who supports his continued torture, is your enemy.”
  • “Assange looks like press photographs of him, maybe older, pale, he hasn’t been outside in 13 years…”

As Paul Craig Roberts notes, the Assange situation “shows conclusively that Washington regards truth as its most dangerous enemy.”

Sherman: US depopulation plan hits new milestone

A decades-old plan to stifle population growth in the US has reached new milestones which suggest the program is a resounding success. According to a Statista report last week, a quarter of US 40-year-olds have never been married, an historical high since data started being published in 1990. Most of these adults live alone, with only 22% saying they live with a partner. Nearly half (46%) of Black Americans say they are still single by 40, followed by Hispanics (27%), Whites (20%), and Asian Americans (17%). Marriage avoidance is part of a depopulation plan designed over 50 years ago in the Jaffe Memo. In 1969 an economist named Frederick Jaffe devised a set of proposals to limit US population growth which continue to be put into practice today. Jaffe, who at the time was vice president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, had created the plan at the request of Bernard Berelson. Berelson was the head of the Population Council, an organization founded by John D. Rockefeller III in 1952 to stem birth rates in the United States.

Levy: The Great Taking: You Really No Longer Own Your Securities, and You Could Also Lose Your Freedom

Under a veil of benevolence, the Great Reset engineered by the World Economic Forum (WEF), aims to shift wealth from individuals and small businesses to global organizations controlled by the elite. As part of this agenda, a revamping of the financial system has been underway for – believe it or not – over half a century, says David Rogers Webb in his recent book The Great Taking and its accompanying documentary. Webb’s research and insights demonstrate that the WEF’s dubious catchphrase You’ll own nothing, and you’ll be happy already has risky implications for investments in securities, mutual funds, pension funds, and the like. Investors, he shows, are no longer ‘owners’ of securities; they are only ‘unsecured creditors.’ Besides, investments are vulnerable to the vagaries of the opaque derivatives market. If the system collapses – he says this is inevitable – investors will not only lose money, they will receive no compensation.

This is the ‘Great Taking’ of the title, the beginning of the end of property rights, deemed the bedrock of prosperity by our Founding Fathers and enshrined in the Constitution. We no longer really own shares; soon, we no may longer own anything.

BIDEN’S MANDATED mRNA COVID “VACCINATIONS”

Pheleps: Over 200 Service Members, Veterans Pledge to Hold Military Leaders Accountable for Vaccine Mandate

More than 200 active service members and veterans have signed an open letter seeking accountability over the alleged harm caused by the Department of Defense’s (DOD) implementation of the now-rescinded COVID-19 vaccine mandate. The open letter, published on Jan. 1, is directed to the American people, but names specific senior military leaders who the signers claim enabled lawlessness and betrayed the Constitution. Some of the leaders specifically named in the letter include former and current joint chiefs of staff, service academy commandants, service inspectors general, and service surgeon generals. […] The signatories state, “In the coming years, thousands within our network will run for Congress and seek appointments to executive branch offices, while those of us still serving on active duty will continue to put fulfilling our oaths ahead of striving for rank or position. “For those who achieve the lawful authority to do so, we pledge to recall from retirement the military leaders who broke the law and will convene courts-martial for the crimes they committed.” […] Mr. Miller emphasized he and the others are not advocating violence. Rather, he said, “We emphatically decry the physical and moral violence that has been inflicted on service members and their families through the unlawful mandate of these harmful injections.” “We brook no interest in circumventing the law, [but] demand strict adherence to the law,” he said. “To this very end, we will tirelessly pursue the restoration of justice to our wayward armed forces.”

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA’S AMERICA LAST REGIME: RADICAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE U.S. MILITARY

McDaniel: Will our military fight for Joe Biden?

The question is, will our military fight for Joe Biden, or whichever d/S/C wants them to imprison, torture and kill Normal Americans?  Higher Ranking Officers: d/S/Cs, since the Age of Obama, have been doing their best to replace warfighters with social justice warriors. Few get that first star without enthusiastically toeing the DEI line. Many, but not all, of these beribboned REMFs will gladly go full totalitarian. Mid-Ranking Officers (Majors and Lt. Colonels): Many of these are also DEI adherents, but probably fewer than those above them. Many joined thinking they’d be warriors and haven’t had time to be completely converted, or to decide to bail out with their sanity. Lower Ranking Officers (Lieutenants and Captains): They’re even less likely to go over to the dark side, except those that joined as true believers. Here’s where things get interesting:

Snyder: Can the U.S. Fight 3 Major Wars Simultaneously?

Before our leaders drag us into the middle of World War III, perhaps we should step back and take a hard look at our own capabilities. Military recruiting has been way down, ammunition levels have fallen to dangerously low levels because of how much we have sent to Ukraine, and our enemies have developed cutting edge new weapons systems that we cannot match.  But Joe Biden and his all-star team of warmongers continue to push everyone around as if this was the 1980s and everyone is still deeply afraid of the U.S. military. It is time for all of us to acknowledge that the world has changed. […] The truth is that the U.S. is already at war in the Middle East. And once Israel decides it is time to push Hezbollah back to the Litani River in southern Lebanon, the U.S. is going to be even more deeply involved. Meanwhile, it appears that the conflict in Ukraine is about to go to another level.

Luyken: Iran threatens to shut Strait of Gibraltar as tensions ramp up

“They shall soon await the closure of the Mediterranean Sea, [the Strait of] Gibraltar and other waterways,” Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqdi, a senior member of the country’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said today. The general did not explain how Iran, which does not border the Mediterranean, intended to make good on its threat. Iran’s proxy militias in southern Lebanon and Syria do have access to the sea, through which about a fifth of global maritime trade passes.

Just the News: U.S. Navy Helicopters Sink Three Houthi Ships Attacking Merchant Vessel in Red Sea

Early Sunday morning, the Maersk Hangzhou, a Singapore-flagged container ship, “issued a second distress call in less than 24 hours reporting being under attack by four Iranian-backed Houthi small boats,” U.S. Central Command said on X, formerly Twitter. The ships, which originated from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, fired upon the merchant vessel, and a contracted security team on the container ship returned fire upon the Houthi ships. Helicopters from the USS Eisenhower, which has been stationed in the area since October after Hamas attacked Israel, responded to the distress signal and the small boats fired at the U.S. helicopters.

Mallory: 2023 Wrap-Up: 4 Times Joe Biden Abandoned Americans In Times Of Need

President Joe Biden has a history of abandoning Americans in the midst of emergencies and natural catastrophes, with little chance of enough assistance arriving. Here are four instances in which Americans were left on their own. Advertisement During Afghanistan’s bloody and chaotic retreat, the Biden administration claimed to have rescued over 120,000 individuals. However, the administration also left over 800 Americans behind enemy lines. Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs Committee’s initial analysis of the withdrawal revealed that, in contrast to Biden’s claim that there were only 100–200 Americans remaining in Afghanistan, by the time he withdrew all U.S. forces, there were over 800 Americans who had been left behind. Those who were evacuated by private citizens and non-governmental organizations are not included in that figure. “The State Department […] In Sudan, as a violent war continued in April, the Biden administration abandoned an estimated 16,000 individual American residents there and expected them to find their own way out. The White House maintained . . .

VDH: Our Razor’s Edge

At the end of the year, we are on the razor’s edge of many things that soon may blow up. Americans are far beyond President Joe Biden’s serial untruths of some eight years that he never discussed Hunter Biden’s various get-rich-quick schemes. All were predicated on the perception of foreign interests purchasing from the Biden family the influence of then-senator, vice president, and possibly soon-to-be President Joe Biden. The Bidens now risk exposure to criminal charges of multimillion-dollar tax fraud, perjury, influence selling, and bribery as congressional committees and a special prosecutor unravel years of tangled-up quid pro quos. A newly indicted Hunter remains reckless and unpredictable. He continues to publicly blame his mounting legal problems on everyone and everything other than his own selfish excesses.

(H/T PC) Peters: The Goading

It is obvious that the Left is doing its damndest to goad the not-Left (it isn’t the Right, at least not uniformly – as opposed to the uniformity of Left) into doing something about what the Left is doing to “our democracy,” as the Left likes to style its one-party dominion over politics and acceptable thought.

How else to explain the Left’s obviously political persecution of the Orange pinata? It is clear the Left isn’t whacking him so much as goading us to do something useful to the Left. Something like the “insurrection”- as the Left refers to the unarmed protest  that took place after the Orange pinata was removed from office by the Left. It was far too peaceful an “insurrection” to suit the Left. It needs a real one – and in time to assure “our democracy” does not fall into the hands of the not-Left. As the character in The Empire Strikes Back warned, it’s a trap! Just the same as January 6 – only worse – because if the not-Left allows itself to be maneuvered into committing the first overt act, as Franklin Delano Roosevelt put it, the Left will have everything it needs to wage the war it wants to preserve “our democracy.”

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY CANDIDATES

Solomon: Newsmaker Interview: Trump puts Iran, Europeans and antisemites on notice, dispels Nikki rumors

Former President Donald Trump is sending some pointed messages to friends and foes alike: No, Nikki Haley is not on his vice presidential list because there isn’t one right now. Yes, if he returns to the White House European countries had better get ready to pay more for the Ukraine war. And both federal agencies and nonprofits that espouse antisemitic views and threaten Jews should prepare to lose federal funding or even their tax-exempt status. In a wide-ranging interview with Just the News, the 45th president surveyed the sort of policies he’ll pursue if voters return him to office next November as the nation’s 47th president. He made clear securing the U.S. southern border is a top priority as is cutting off the sources of income from oil sales and reclaiming the unfrozen funds that he says has revived Iran’s terrorism activities across the globe on Joe Biden’s watch.

Solomon: Boomerang? Trump aims to flip ‘extremism’ label on Democrats in 2024

Former President Donald Trump told Just the News in an interview this week that he is plotting an all-out campaign to convince the American electorate that Democrats are in fact the fringe party, so out of touch with Main Street USA that they opened the borders to millions of illegals and deadly fentanyl, enriched Iran’s terror machine, put biological men in women’s sports and locker rooms, and advocated for abortion on demand. “It is a liability. They are extreme,” Trump said of Democrats during an interview Wednesday on the “Just the News, No Noise” television show. For Trump, this isn’t just a rhetorical flourish. A review of his last few months of his speeches, rallies, and interviews shows the 45th president and leader of the 2024 GOP presidential race has been carefully testing a messaging platform that paints Biden and the Democrats into an extreme corner on more than a dozen issues.

Ingrassia: The Constitution Absolutely Prohibits Nikki Haley From Being President Or Vice President

A central concern for the architects of the nascent American republic was that only the most qualified statesmen be eligible for the country’s highest office. In his Commentaries, Joseph Story elaborated that “[i]t is indispensable… that the president should be a natural born citizen of the United States […] [T]he general propriety of the exclusion of foreigners, in common cases, will scarcely be doubted by any sound statesman.” Joseph Story, who enjoyed over a thirty-year reign as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, famously elaborated the principles of the republicanism of Alexander Hamilton and John Marshall well into the mid-nineteenth century. His Commentaries specifically distinguished between natural born and naturalized citizens, the latter of whom were ineligible to run for president, despite qualifying for the privileges of citizenship. This view is supported by the best legal commentary of the day, Emmerich de Vattel’s Law of Nature and of Nations, a contemporaneous authority for the Founding Fathers on questions of citizenship. de Vattel’s work states that “[t]he natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.” The question of natural born citizenship is ergo fundamentally distinct from the ongoing issue of birthright citizenship, raised in the Fourteenth Amendment, which confers citizenship to “[a]ll persons born or naturalized in the United States.” The key word here is citizenship, not eligibility for the presidential office, which, as noted earlier, demands a much higher threshold for qualification.

According to the IRGC-affiliated media outlet, Fars News Agency, Ramezan Sharif, a spokesperson for the IRGC, said the Al-Aqsa Storm was “one of the retaliations of the Axis of Resistance against the Zionists for the martyrdom of Qasem Soleimani.” The latest claim from the IRGC officials comes as the regime has tried to distance itself from the attacks, even though information has revealed Tehran’s support for Hamas in their attack. The Ayatollahs have claimed that Hamas acted independently, however, the IRGC has been the primary supplier of the terrorist group, providing them with weapons, training, and financial resources.

ADI Staff Reporter:  Former Arizona Supreme Court Justice Offers Stunning Testimony In Hearing On 2022 Maricopa County Election

Former Arizona Supreme Court Justice Ruth McGregor stunned members of the House Ad Hoc Committee On Oversight, Accountability And Big Tech on Thursday when she made several jaw-dropping admissions about an audit she oversaw of the 2022 General Election in Maricopa County. The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors spent more than $91,000 in taxpayer money to have McGregor lead an investigation into the botched 2022 General Election in which several Ballot of Demand (BOD) printers failed on Election Day. McGregor’s testimony on Thursday, say critics, shows the County wasted taxpayer money by paying for the justice’s name rather than on an expertise on elections.

Potter: Newly-opened New York City Palestinian restaurant sparks fury with ‘anti-Semitic’ seafood menu titled ‘from the river to the sea’

Ayat, a Brooklyn eatery with two other locations in the city, also opted to emblazon the front of its menus with the phrase ‘down with the occupation’, angering some patrons in the heavily-Jewish area. When the restaurant opened a third location in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn, last week, a Facebook group for residents in the area grew hostile as customers slammed the menus as ‘openly genocidal’, reports the Daily Beast. The chant ‘from the river to the sea’ has been deemed by the Anti-Defamation League to be an anti-Semitic call for ‘Israel‘s destruction through violent means.’

TAKE ACTION

The Prickly Pear’s TAKE ACTION focus this year is to help achieve a winning 2024 national and state November 5th election with the removal of the Biden/Obama leftist executive branch disaster, win one U.S. Senate seat, maintain and win strong majorities in all Arizona state offices on the ballot and to insure that unrestricted abortion is not constitutionally embedded in our laws and culture.

Please click the TAKE ACTION link to learn to do’s and don’ts for voting in 2024.

Read Part 1 and Part 2 of The Prickly Pear essays entitled How NOT to Vote in the November 5, 2024 Election in Arizona to be well informed of the above issues and to vote in a way to ensure the most likely chance your vote will be counted and counted as you intend.
