NOTABLE QUOTES

Trump War Room’s X post on 9/23/2024: Kamala Harris is the incumbent Vice President. Every problem she’s claiming she can solve — she created. High prices? She did that. Can’t buy a home? She did that. Gas prices too high? She did that. Border crisis? She did that. Violent cities? She did that.

The Federalist Headline: If Harris Can ‘Eliminate The Filibuster For Roe,’ She Can Nuke It For Fracking Bans And Gun Control Too.

Albin Sadar contributor to American Thinker: Ultimately, Zmirak’s goal in No Second Amendment, No First is “to show that the Christian view of the person, correctly understood, demands broad rights of self-defense for ordinary citizens—against both illegal violence and the prospect of tyrannical governments.” Zmirak warns that we must fight against “impatient innovators [who] kick aside the tenets of Natural Law, Christian morality, the dignity of man, and the rights of the individual.” There is certainly a reason our wise Founders followed up the First Amendment, protecting free speech, with the Second, the right to bear arms. Zmirak explains: The Founders protected the right to keep and bear arms not simply because they saw it as the last defense against tyranny. They did so also because they viewed the Second Amendment’s protection of private firearms ownership as essential to preserving all the other liberties guaranteed in the Constitution.

Jeffrey A. Tucker contributor to Brownstone Institute: Censorship is the deployment of force in service of state power, and other institutions connected to state power, for purposes of culture planning. It is exercised by the shallow state, in response to the middle state, and on behalf of the deep state. It is a form of violence that interrupts the free flow of information: the ability to speak, and the ability to learn. Censorship trains the population to be quiet, afraid, and constantly stressed, and it sorts people by the compliant vs the dissidents. Censorship is designed to shape the public mind toward the end of shoring up regime stability. Once it starts, there is no limit to it.

Mark Tapson contributor to Frontpage Magazine: Americans have a reflexive resistance to the idea of censorship – we are the only country with the First Amendment, after all. But make no mistake: Banned Books Week 2024 is not about protecting important literature like To Kill a Mockingbird or The Grapes of Wrath from government suppression. It is about promoting the divisive, corrosive agenda of gender ideology among children – against the will of their parents – who are far too immature and malleable to be exposed to sexually explicit material.

Richard Truesdell and Keith Lehmann contributors to American Greatness: Democrats and the teachers’ unions believe every child should internalize state-approved narratives regarding history, politics, sex, democracy, economics, nutrition, social justice, emotional health, climate change, race relations […] pretty much everything. They will stop at nothing to indoctrinate children, making them weak and easy to fool. Creating, well, the perfect Democrat.

Milan Adams contributor to LewRockwell.com: “To be prepared for war,” George Washington said, “is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace.” President Ronald Reagan agreed with his forebear’s words, and peace through strength became a theme of his administration. In the past four decades, the American arsenal helped secure that peace, but political neglect has led to its atrophy as other nations’ war machines have kicked into high gear. Most Americans do not realize the specter of great power conflict has risen again.

J. Robert Smith contributor to American Thinker: A couple of CodePink droolers harassed U.S. rep. Harriet Hageman for backing the Israelis. Hageman is a tough lady and cool customer. All she said to the droolers was “Do you have your pagers on you?” Of course, she was messing with their delicate little psyches. No sensible person owes fools an explanation.

Brandon Morse contributor to RedState.com: You’ve probably heard of the “suicide pod,” a breakthrough in Canadian “healthcare” or, if we’re being honest, the end result of socialized medicine.

DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: ABOLISH THE SECOND AMENDMENT

Mordock: Biden’s new gun control actions go after machine-gun conversion kits and 3D-printed firearms

President Biden on Thursday will sign a series of executive orders aimed at reducing gun violence by restricting new firearm technology and helping students address the trauma caused by active shooter drills in schools. The executive order will target 3D-printed guns that do not have serial numbers and devices that convert semiautomatic firearms into rapid-fire guns similar to machine guns. The order also creates a new task force that will issue a report in 90 days on federal law enforcement’s ability to detect and seize the rapid-fire devices, as well as outline a strategy to combat the threat they pose. […] “Biden again resorts to symbolism over substance. His policies do nothing to stop violent criminals from making us less safe. It is time to fund our police and end cashless bail. This is another distraction from solving the real problem,” said Alan Gottlieb, president of the Second Amendment Foundation.

GLOBALIST GREAT RESET/NEW WORLD ORDER

Newman: New UN “Pact for the Future” Turbocharges Globalism

Governments and dictators from around the world gathered in New York and adopted a sprawling agreement to expand and further empower the United Nations. […] While the final agreement this week did not contain everything he asked for, it did provide a “mandate” from member states for Guterres to pursue the agenda vigorously. “We recognize the need for a more coherent, cooperative, coordinated and multidimensional international response to complex global shocks and the central role of the United Nations in this regard,” the Pact declared, calling on Guterres to devise new ways to “strengthen the United Nations system response to complex global shocks.” A key theme of the pact was reaffirming commitments to previous UN agreements and schemes such as the UN “Universal Declaration of Human Rights,” a tool of tyrants aiming to replace the U.S. understanding of God-given unalienable rights with UN-granted revokable privileges. […] Added to the pact were annexes including the “Global Digital Compact” to have the UN take the lead on regulation of the digital realm (data, Internet, Artificial Intelligence, and more). Also attached to the final agreement was the “Declaration on Future Generations” pretending that all the efforts to usurp more power for the UN are really “for the children” and generations yet unborn. […] “It looks like they are attempting to sell out our sovereignty once again with this agreement,” said Representative Eli Crane at the press conference.

Whitehead & whitehead: Hidden Agendas: Beware of the Government’s Push for a Digital Currency

“The greatest tyrannies are always perpetrated in the name of the noblest causes.”—Thomas Paine The government wants your money. It will beg, steal or borrow if necessary, but it wants your money any way it can get it. The government’s schemes to swindle, cheat, scam, and generally defraud taxpayers of their hard-earned dollars have run the gamut from wasteful pork barrel legislation, cronyism and graft to asset forfeiture, costly stimulus packages, and a national security complex that continues to undermine our freedoms while failing to making us any safer. […] Because the government’s voracious appetite for money, power and control has grown out of control, its agents have devised other means of funding its excesses and adding to its largesse through taxes disguised as fines, taxes disguised as fees, and taxes disguised as tolls, tickets and penalties. No matter how much money the government pulls in, it’s never enough […] Make way for the digital dollar.

THE CORRUPT & DANGEROUS U.S. INTELLIGENCE APPARATUS

Clark: Trump Rally in Wisconsin Rescheduled to Smaller Venue – Secret Service Claims ‘Lack of Resources’

The Trump campaign had planned to host a rally in Wisconsin at an outdoor airport venue Saturday, but was told by the Secret Service that it did not have the manpower and assets to secure the venue while the United Nations General Assembly meeting was happening in New York, an official familiar with the planning told NBC News. This presents some questions: First, is not the United Nations responsible for/expected to provide security for its premises and events? Are not the member nations responsible for the security of their representatives? [Note: Yesterday Laura Ingraham questioned why our Secret Service was being used to protect world leaders that hate America? Laura noted that this is forcing Trump ‘s scheduled rally in a critical swing state into a much smaller venue thereby reaching a much smaller crowd. ]

(Election interference in a critical swing state) UPDATE: Biden Administration Denying Protection Assets For Trump Forces Him To Cancel Wisconsin Rally

The Secret Service recently forced former President Donald Trump to cancel a campaign rally in Wisconsin over lack of ‘assets.’ Former President Donald Trump was recently forced to cancel a campaign rally in Wisconsin because the federal task force in charge of safety denied him adequate protection resources. On Tuesday, Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., sent a letter to the acting director of the Secret Service detailing the allegations of a whistleblower who said the event was canceled because the nation’s premier security agency lacked “sufficient assets” to keep the Republican presidential nominee safe […] Wisconsin was one of several key rust belt states Trump narrowly won in 2016, and then lost by just roughly 20,000 votes in 2020. According to the latest aggregate of surveys maintained by RealClearPolitics, Harris is leading Trump by less than 1 point in the state, whereas Biden led by more than 6 points at the same point in the race. Trump’s canceled campaign event in contrast to Vice President Kamala Harris’ ability to roam the nation safely marks just the latest double standard in the race when it comes to the candidates’ security.

Liberty One: Secret Service Sending Agents To Disney World LGBTQ Summit

The U.S. Secret Service, already facing scrutiny after two recent assassination attempts on former President Donald Trump, is now under fire for its decision to send employees to an LGBTQ-focused event at Walt Disney World in Florida. The Out & Equal Workplace Summit, scheduled from October 7-10, promotes diversity and inclusion in the workplace, featuring breakout sessions, a gala, and other events aimed at fostering a sense of belonging, according to its website. The agency’s participation in the summit has sparked criticism, especially given ongoing concerns about its ability to protect high-profile figures like Trump.

CHINA: AMERICA’S MORTAL ENEMY

Gordon: China’s Newest Nuclear Submarine Sank, Setting Back Its Military Modernization

The episode, which Chinese authorities scrambled to cover up and hasn’t previously been disclosed, occurred at a shipyard near Wuhan in late May or early June. It comes as China has been pushing to expand its navy, including its fleet of nuclear-powered submarines.

The Pentagon has cast China as its principal long-term “pacing challenge,” and U.S. officials say that Beijing has been using political and military pressure to try to coerce Taiwan, a separately governed island that Beijing claims as part of its territory. China says its goal in building a world-class military is to deter aggression and safeguard its overseas interests. A spokesman for the Chinese embassy didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA’S AMERICA LAST REGIME: THE FUNDAMENTAL TRANSFORMATION OF FOREIGN POLICY

(No better friend to Iran than the Biden/Harris administration) Greenfield: Irangate: Iran’s Plan to Stop Trump and Elect Kamala

Unlike Russiagate, Irangate is real and has roots in the White House. In the last two months, Iran set up fake news sites to defame Trump and promote Kamala, hacked the Trump campaign and tried to pass stolen documents to the Harris-Walz campaign and its media allies, and finally plotted to assassinate former President Trump and his officials. […] Iran isn’t trying to “sow chaos” which is a meaningless buzzword the intel community seem to have come up with to project its own nation building paradigm abroad onto American politics. The Islamic Republic is out to win. And it defines winning as Trump’s political defeat or death. […] There is no shortage of materials for a theory of ‘Irangate’. The Biden-Harris administration has been even better for Iran that the previous low-water marks set by Carter and Obama. Iran is not trying to “sow chaos” but to swing a presidential election in favor of its candidate. The Islamic regime has also had a longtime obsession with Trump ever since he approved the operation that took out the IRGC’s deadly terror boss Qasem Soleimani. Even with Trump out of office, the official website of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei published a video simulating a drone strike on Trump’s home with the message, “Revenge is Inevitable” Unlike Russiagate, Irangate is real and has been taking place out in the open for us to see.

Durden: US, UK Send Hundreds Of Troops To Cyprus For Lebanon Contingencies

Earlier this week amid escalation between Israel and Hezbollah, and with increasing airstrikes hitting Beirut – resulting in commercial air traffic at Beirut’s international airport coming to a total halt – the Pentagon said it is sending more US troops to the region.

At least some of them have already arrived in Cyprus, CNN has reported. Dozens of American troops are there, with Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder having confirmed that the US has sent “a small number of US military personnel forward” to the region “out of an abundance of caution.” Close US ally the United Kingdom has ordered a surge of hundreds to Cyprus alongside the US troops.

Pletka: #WTH America ❤️ terrorist financiers

This is how 9/11s happen. Monday, the Biden administration decided to admit Qatar into the visa waiver program, which permits Qatari passport holders to enter the US without a complex visa approval process, and only a short ESTA form. Here’s what Secretary of State Tony Blinken said in his presser to announce the great news: “Qatar’s fulfillment of the stringent security requirements to join the Visa Waiver Program will deepen our strategic partnership and enhance the flow of people and commerce between our two countries. Qatar’s entry will make travel between the United States and Qatar safer, more secure, and easier for both Americans and Qataris.” How Qatar meets these standards will be a mystery to anyone who believes the “law” is a thing. Here are the relevant provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act:

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA’S AMERICA LAST REGIME: THE FUNDAMENTAL TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICA

Themostimportantnews.com: The Stage Is Being Set For The Greatest Period Of Chaos In U.S. History

If chaos is what they intended, everything is coming together beautifully. Major wars threaten to throw the entire planet into a state of turmoil, criminals are running wild in our streets, and in a little over a month the outcome of the presidential election is likely to cause an unprecedented explosion of anger. If all of this wasn’t bad enough, our politicians have been allowing millions of desperate people to come pouring over our wide open borders. Some of these “new arrivals” belong to international criminal gangs, and members of these gangs are being arrested for violent acts, theft, drug dealing and sex trafficking all over America. Other “new arrivals” belong to terror groups in the Middle East, and you would think that this would be a major national security concern. Russians have also been crossing the border illegally, as have very large numbers of military-age Chinese men. The stage is being set for the greatest period of chaos in U.S. history, and this should deeply alarm all of us.

DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: INDOCTRINATION CENTERS

(Grooming) Starnes: Public School Used Fifth Graders to Groom 5-year-olds

A public school in California used fifth graders to groom kindergarteners during a bizarre transgender assignment that included a storybook about a little boy who wears a dress. And the district refused to let parents opt-their children out of the lesson. In May 2024, a fifth-grade teacher at La Costa Heights Elementary School read aloud the book, My Shadow is Pink, which urges children to question their own gender identity. […] The children at La Costa Heights Elementary School were forced to watch a read-aloud video of the book with their kindergartener “buddy” as part of the school’s mentoring program. […] Though La Costa Heights and the teachers advised parents about the “buddy” program, they never notified parents that “My Shadow is Pink” would be used in the “buddy” program. In fact, the entire lesson was omitted from the male teacher’s weekly newsletter to parents. […] First Liberty Institute, one of the nation’s most prominent religious liberty law firms, filed a complaint in federal court on behalf of several parents in the school district.

Gomez: Texas University To Reportedly Axe LGBTQ Minor Following Republican Outcry

State lawmakers began to call out the Lone Star state’s publicly funded university in mid-February after discovering it was offering a minor in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Studies, which allowed students to “examine the ways gender and sexuality are socially constructed.” […] “After months of calling for A&M to end this absurd program, I was pleased to learn from Chancellor Sharp they plan to end it. Proud to have helped deliver this victory for Texas taxpayers, who should never be forced to fund liberal indoctrination,” Harrison told the DCNF. “I look forward to further discussions with A&M and will continue fighting to keep taxpayers from funding leftist propaganda that does nothing to strengthen our economy or the workforce of tomorrow.”

Cohen: EXCLUSIVE: Investment Giants Leveraged Red State Universities’ Endowment Funds To Back Anti-Oil Agenda, Report Finds

“Once again, woke ESG ideology has infected a public institution and hijacked its money for their own purposes. This is an outrageous betrayal of the public’s trust,” AAF president Thomas Jones told the DCNF. “[Republican Texas] Gov. Greg Abbott must take immediate action to end this nonsense. He must shake up the leadership at UT/A&M that let this happen and use his influence with UTIMCO to ensure that it never happens again.” UTIMCO told the DCNF that the ESG and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI)-related votes violate “a long-standing policy that prohibits using the endowments’ economic power to advance social or political agendas” and that a review found they consist of 0.3% out of around 45,000 proxy votes in recent years. The endowment manager added that it has since modified its guidelines after finding the violative votes and will impose them on all of its third-party investment managers before future proxy votes, and revoking voting authority for those that cannot follow them.

REPUBLICAN PARTY PRESIDENTIAL TICKET: TRUMP/VANCE

Holloway: AZGOP Billboards Highlight Real Political ‘Unity’ In The Trump Campaign

The Republican Party of Arizona (AZGOP) released a new billboard design on Thursday exemplifying a theme of unity. The new digital billboards featured across the Valley of the Sun prominently feature an image of President Donald Trump backed by the Arizona Flag’s rays of red and gold sun above the blue sky and flanked by former Democrats, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard and former Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., as well as Republicans Vice Presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), former Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, and ‘X’ owner Elon Musk. Although Musk has been supporting Trump, he has historically declared himself a “registered independent” and “politically moderate.” Thus the billboard represents real political unity representing Democrats, Independents, and Republicans.

Klipper: Some Liberals Want To Put Trump In Jail For Helping Woman Pay Her Grocery Bill

Donald Trump stopped by a Pennsylvania grocery store Monday, where he handed a $100 bill to a woman in line to help her cover the bill. What a mensch! But now the libs want to put him in jail. […] The central issue here is that the left really just hates charity. They’d rather this woman and her family suffer until they can tax away all the wealth of men like Donald Trump and use it to launch a Universal Basic Income program, or whatever. Individuals aren’t capable of doing good; that’s the state’s job. [Note: dirk diggler posted this comment: And yet Kamala Harris and Mike Bloomberg paying off fines so people could get out of jail to vote was, what, philanthropy??]

(A great Trump ad) Showalter: Joe Biden assures the cackling hags of The View that Kamala’s record is his record

While he was with them, praise abounded for Joe’s greatness, his unselfishness, his patrotism. There was no talk of him being dispatched “like a dog” as President Trump put it in the last debate. No, Joe was simply a hero in his new incarnation, strange new respect for a guy nobody could stand just months ago. It was all pretty laughable, until Joe started transferring all that “greatness,” by extension, to his vice president who is now out campaigning for the job he bitterly tried to hold onto:

Revolver.news: Spiciest one-minute take on entire COVID sham: it was all about hysterical female energy. . .

This clip comes from Heather Mac Donald. You could argue that the “woman’s worldview” is rooted in a Karen mentality that suffocates and bullies people into submission. It’s that anxious helicopters need to control everyone and everything, no matter the cost or consequences. That’s exactly what we saw unfold with COVID. And the saddest part? The men who should have known better, who should have been stronger stewards of leadership, were steamrolled by this hyper-emotional, controlling mindset, allowing the entire world to spiral into chaos and despair. Jack Posobiec posted on X: “The covid response was the embodiment of the female worldview.”

Tucker: Lockdowns Codified a World of Violence

Shoplifting was not a way of life before lockdowns. Most cities were not demographic minefields of danger around every corner. There was no such thing as a drug store with nearly all products behind locked Plexiglas. We weren’t warned of spots in cities, even medium-sized ones, where carjacking was a real risk. It is wildly obvious that high crime in the US is endemic, with ever less respect for person and property. As for the FBI’s statistics, they are worth about as much as most data coming from federal agencies these days. They are there for purposes of propaganda, manipulated to present the most favorable picture possible to help the regime. […] Crime is up. Literacy is down. Trust has collapsed. Societies were shattered and remain so.

Mark Zuckerberg Is Done With Politics

It was only a little more than a decade ago that Mark Zuckerberg had few qualms about airing his politics. Earnest and optimistic — perhaps naïvely so — he rushed onto the national stage to discuss issues he cared about: immigration, social justice, inequality, democracy in action. He penned columns in national newspapers espousing his views, spun up foundations and philanthropic efforts and hired hundreds of people to put his vast riches to work on his political goals. That was Mark Zuckerberg in his 20s. Mark Zuckerberg in his 40s is a very different Mark Zuckerberg. […] His preference, according to more than a dozen friends, advisers and executives familiar with his thinking, has been to wash his hands of it all. In public, that means Mr. Zuckerberg is declining to engage with Washington except when necessary. In private, he has stopped supporting programs at his philanthropy that could be perceived as partisan, and he has tamped down employee activism at Meta, said these people, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to do so or did not want to jeopardize their relationships with Mr. Zuckerberg.

Hoft: President Trump Goes There: Nancy Pelosi “Should Be Prosecuted” for Her Insider Trading (VIDEO)

Democrat privilege. Nancy Pelosi made a fortune off of insider trading – but it’s OK because she’s a Democrat. […] President Trump was speaking about Nancy Pelosi’s career of insider trading that has made her and her San Francisco family very, very rich. This week, news broke that Nancy Pelosi’s husband dumped at least $500,000 of their Visa stock worth up to $1 million just weeks before the Department of Justice slapped the financial giant with an antitrust lawsuit. Trump is right. This isn’t the first time Paul Pelosi has traded at an opportune moment in time. On July 3, a disclosure showed that the former Speaker of the House’s spouse unloaded 2,000 shares of Visa, valued somewhere between $500,000 and $1 million. All this, just three months before the federal hammer dropped.

BOOK REVIEW: HITLER’S PEOPLE: THE FACES OF THE THIRD REICH BY RICHARD J. EVENS

Goska: Hitler’s People: The Faces of the Third Reich

Even if you’ve read many books on the topic, you’ll want to read this one. […] Hitler’s People takes a new approach to answering the “Why?” and “How?” questions. The book consists of interlinked, but independently coherent, biographical essays focusing on a series of Nazis, from Hitler down to Luise Solmitz, a schoolteacher, mother, and housewife, who held no official position, but who kept a detailed diary of the Nazi years. Previous trends in attempts to understand Nazism militated against the biographical approach. Evans felt that now was the time to take that approach. The reader glimpses into individual lives, and witnesses those moments when individuals turned from “normal” to pure evil. Evans makes use of newly available material, some of it freed up after the fall of the Soviet Union, or by other historical developments. This new material often strips Nazis of their self-exculpating fictions. This is especially true in the case of Albert Speer. Those Nazis who survived the regime to be interrogated by a horrified world offered excuses. “I didn’t know; I didn’t participate; I opposed; I attempted to help.” They knew; they participated; they didn’t oppose; they didn’t attempt to help. […] Nazi crimes were not always committed far away from everyday German’s lives, they were not always committed in a foreign country, they were not always committed during wartime, and they were not always committed under cover, for example, behind the mask of a false claim of “deportation.” Nazi atrocities began occurring in Germany proper, as soon as Hitler gained power, before the war ever began, and Nazism’s first victims included non-Jewish Germans. Yes, as Evans shows, Germans knew.

NETFLIX DOCUMENTARY: HITLER & THE NAZIS: EVIL ON TRIAL

(Election interference) Prowant: Law & Liberty: How (Not) to Study Hitler

The new documentary’s loud dog whistles equating Adolf Hitler and Donald Trump betray a desperation that goes beyond the limits of acceptable bias. […] More importantly, the comparison between Hitler and Trump so misses the mark as to raise the question whether the creators did in fact understand the psychology of Hitler after all. If they did have a good grasp of him, then it means they are so indoctrinated by the worst progressive takes on Trump as to be dismissed out of hand. Say what one will about our forty-fifth president. He may be a crude man who likes to see his name on big buildings, but he is not a Wagner-loving warmonger hoping to usher in a new dawn for the perfect human race. Moreover, making a documentary that compares a current candidate to Hitler smacks of crass politicking, detracting from whatever quality historical insight it otherwise might offer. If we wish to use history’s examples as instructive maps for the present, it would behoove journalists and educators (and documentary makers) to refrain from twisting the present to fit into history’s categories. To suggest that Trump is Adolf Hitler is about as helpful as suggesting that Kamala Harris is Joseph Stalin. Precisely because such comparisons are grossly inaccurate, they cheapen the utility of these historical examples whose lessons should be always kept in the back of our minds. Like charges of racism or xenophobia, frequent misapplication of the “fascist” label will only incline audiences to roll their eyes when we need to deploy the word to confront an actual racist, xenophobic, or genocidal maniac.
