NOTABLE QUOTES

Andrea Widburg contributor to American Thinker: In the lead-up to and during Barack Obama’s presidency, we were relentlessly told that Barack Obama was a racial healer and a man of unusual, almost James Bondian suave sophistication. Both were lies. Barack Obama has always been a race hustler and a crude, low-thinking person. Both traits appeared during campaign appearances he made yesterday on Kamala’s behalf, where he made a vulgar crack about Donald Trump and shamed young black men for voting for their interests rather than their skin color.

Stephen LePore reporter for Daily Mail: Barack Obama accused black male voters who refuse to support Kamala Harris of sexism and demanded they get on board with the Democrat nominee. The former president was at a campaign field office in Pittsburgh to thank volunteers, but instead gave them a lecture, saying he wanted to ‘speak some truths.’

Olivia Murray contributor to American Thinker: “If you want a picture of the [Progressive] future, imagine a [literal] boot stamping on a human face—for ever.”

Joy Pullmann contributor to The Federalist: Feminism has broken women because it has taken away their place in the world. Broken and unfulfilled women project their insecurities onto politics, ensuring extremist left rule that is seriously endangering our country’s security and flourishing.

Richard A. Epstein’s essay, “The Legacy of Progressive Thought” : . . . .it would be the stunning persistence in the United States of  Progressive  thought,  which  more  than  any  other  intellectual  movement  has  driven  the  overall  expansion  in  the  size  of  government  for  the  past 100 years. Progressive  ideals  have  been  embraced  at  both  the  state  and  national  levels, not only through taxation, but (equally critically) through direct regulation, which in turn has spawned a huge growth in follow- on litigation that has multiplied a thousand- fold in recent years.

Alex Rosado contributor to American Thinker: Madeline Brame, the mother of homicide victim Sergeant Hason Correa, captured these feelings perfectly in her RNC speech this July: The American people “are sick and tired of being sick and tired.” This year, at the ballot box, voters should remember the dead and vote for the candidate they believe will end the rise of violence in our country.

Sam J. posted on Twitchy: You know Democrats are getting desperate when they are trying even MORE lawfare against Trump. Yes, you read that correctly. But you know, they swear it’s Trump who will politically target his enemies if elected. We made the same face. It’s true. Susan Rice says Trump’s reported calls with Putin ‘appear illegal’. Oh yeah, well Rice’s big dumb puffy creepy face ‘appears illegal.’ Sorry, but this is just so damn annoying. They can’t just run an honest campaign and if they lose, they lose. Oh no. Democrats have proven they will do ANYTHING to win, which should automatically disqualify them from having any sort of power over this country. . . .

Gary Hamrick Cornerstone Chapel Senior Pastor: “Let me tell you what happens when we are not involved in the political process. We open the door for every evil ideology to fill the vacuum. When we decide we’re going to check out, we’re not going to be involved, we’re not going to be politically engaged, all we do is open the door for more of the same evil agenda and ideology. Why is it that so many Christians are sitting out on the sidelines? Why [is there] such political apathy in our world? Because a lot of Christians think that politics is a dirty word that they don’t want to be involved in. ‘We will leave the world of politics up to the rest of the world,’ they would say, and then wonder why every evil has filled the vacuum. ‘If you thought the last 35 years was disturbing, imagine the next 35. “. . .We are one generation away from losing what is valuable and precious and sacred.”

DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: DECONSTRUCT WESTERN CIVILIZATION

War Room: Pastor John K. Amanchukwu Sr: Syncretism Has Invaded The Church

Too many pastors no longer agree with what the Bible says. So how can we expect the Christian Church to know how to rightly vote and support the right candidate, President Trump. How can they know this if pastors fail to teach the truth. And what has happened? Syncretism has crept into the church. That is the amalgamation of belief systems and ideologies. We have now become watered down by the culture and we brought in the LBGTQ agenda into the church. We brought in CRT. We brought in this transgenderism doctrine. Therefore Christians don’t know how to vote.

22 WORDS DOCUMENTARY

2 WORDS is a compelling documentary that delves into the profound consequences of removing prayer and the Bible from American schools, as set in motion by a series of landmark court cases in 1962 and 1963. Those rulings have contributed to a decline in societal values, marked by rising divorce rates, teenage pregnancy, suicide, violent crime, and the growing acceptance of pornographic content and LGBTQIA+ agendas in schools. As traditional moral anchors have been replaced by harmful content and agendas, 22 WORDS advocates for a cultural shift and bravely calls for the reintroduction of school-sponsored prayer and the Ten Commandments across the nation.

(Case in point) Unruh: Transgender ‘pastor’ says the Bible really wasn’t written to instruct today’s world

A self-identified transgender “pastor” is explaining that her transgender lifestyle may not be in sync with the Bible, but that’s all right for her as a pastor, as the Bible wasn’t written for 2024. The stunning conclusion comes from an individual, a woman representing herself as a man, who appeared on a CBS show talking about faith in transition. Asked about the Bible’s clear definition of male and female and explanation of how God made them, “male and female,” she simply went to the next level.

Pullmann: How Feminism Makes Everyone Transgender And What To Do About It

Contrary to propaganda messaging, our society is neither ‘overfeminized’ nor ‘pro-woman.’ It is deeply anti-woman. This is an adapted version of a speech presented to Phyllis Schlafly’s Eagle Forum 2024. Watch or listen to the speech here. Since the 1960s, cultural leaders in media, Hollywood, academia, and politics have fiercely criticized men for expressing male characteristics, and have fiercely criticized women for expressing female characteristics. This has led some commentators on the right more recently to lambast what they call the “overfeminization” of society. But are we really experiencing a cultural “over-feminization?” It looks to me like, instead, we have a swap. We have feminization where there should be masculinity, and masculinization where there should be femininity. Our women are pushed to act like men, and our men to act like women, and the resulting social transgenderism makes everyone extremely unhappy, not to mention dysfunctional. Both sexes are out of whack. We are all transgender now.

Newcombe: Study finds reading the Bible enhances human flourishing

Two years ago, Christianity Today noted: “The data said roughly 26 million people had mostly or completely stopped reading the Bible in the last year.” Meanwhile, as of this writing, the education department of the state of Oklahoma is planning to purchase 55,000 Bibles for the public schools. I’m sure the left is gnashing their teeth over such a plan. […] in 1787 and in 1789 when the founders adopted the Northwest Ordinance. As new territories became states in the newly formed United States, they were to follow the same basic template. Here’s what Article III of the Northwest Ordinance had to say about schools, which were voluntary at that time and often run by churches: “Religion, morality, and knowledge, being necessary for good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged.” The Bible was the chief textbook in one way or another for the first 200-300 years of America – and that’s when the children could read, because of it. It was the Bible that gave birth to Harvard, William and Mary, Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, Brown and so on. It was only when the schools explicitly went against the Scriptures that American education went off the rails. Now there are major portions of society who can’t read, despite years of schooling. […] The researchers list three of their findings on how the Bible fosters human flourishing: . . . .

Duke: Cultural Decay: Now, Even Many “Elite” College Students “Can’t Read Books”

When hearing that many “elite” undergraduates “can’t” read books, first coming to mind could be that they’re not actually elite. (The term “pseudo-elite” suggests itself.) As for the word “can’t,” no, it’s not that these college students, often Ivy Leaguers, are illiterate. The issue is something different: conditioning. Fox News reported on the story last Thursday, writing: […] Horowitch reported how a recent EdWeek Research Center survey of about 300 third-to-eighth-grade educators found “only 17 percent said they primarily teach whole texts” with nearly 25 percent saying whole books themselves are no longer the focus in their curriculum. […] what does this youth reading deficit say about today’s overall level of discipline? What does it portend for our civilization? Would you want to fly in a plane with a pilot who couldn’t tackle an aeronautics manual or be treated by a doctor who couldn’t get through Gray’s Anatomy?

GLOBALIST GREAT RESET/NEW WORLD ORDER

Smith: Globalists Are Taking the Mask off and That’s a Bad Sign

Remember the last time the globalists took the mask off? It wasn’t that long ago, but some people might have already forgotten how the western world almost lost all individual freedom under the guise of an over-hyped health emergency. When globalists are honest about what they truly want, it usually coincides with an engineered calamity. In the two years since the failure of the covid pandemic narrative I have argued that globalist organizations are trying to regroup under a new plan. The evidence suggests that these people suffered a shocking revelation after their attempt to implement perpetual medical tyranny. They’ve realized they don’t have as much control over the flow of information and public discourse as they originally assumed. Even with full-spectrum censorship using algorithms to bury contrary data, even with the full force of the government partnering with social media to silence dissent, even with the threat of economic exile for anyone refusing to take a steady series of mRNA jabs, they still failed. […] This is why the next event will probably be far worse in scale and consequence, and the globalists are already attempting to rectify their previous mistake of underestimating citizen journalism. They will try to silence us if they can and they are openly admitting to it in recent conferences and mainstream articles.

CHINA: AMERICA’S MORTAL ENEMY

Eastman: ‘Salt Typhoon:’ China-Backed Hackers Tap Into Major American Internet Providers

While the East Coast deals from Hurricanes Helene and Milton, the entire nation is now facing the consequences of a catastrophic cyber-attack from a group called “Salt Typhoon.” Verizon and AT&T were reportedly among the affected internet service providers target by the group, which the Chinese Ministry of State Security reportedly backs. The Wall Street Journal published an exclusive report indicating the hackers took advantage of information from U.S. federal government systems for court-authorized network wiretapping requests. […] What types of information could the Chinese have gotten? “Salt Typhoon” had access to information that could reveal who the US government was spying on and why. Needless to say, that would be devastating to national security…mitigated only by the fact the Chinese likely would have little interest in Trump-loving grandmothers and abortion-protesting Catholics.

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

Yeatman: Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov issues ominous warning as he returns to Moscow

America will face a ‘head-on collision with a nuclear power‘ if it allows Ukraine to fire US long-range missiles into Russia, the country’s outgoing ambassador has warned. US-Russian relations, already at ‘arguably the lowest point in their history’ will plunge into an ‘uncontrolled nosedive’ if Ukraine gets the green light, Anatoly Antanov predicted. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky met President Biden last month and told him that firing US ATACMS deep into Russian territory could break the deadlock in the two-and-a-half year war. Russia’s President Putin said it would finally constitute direct NATO involvement, and his ambassador spelt out the message as he headed back to Moscow. ‘America will not be able to sit it out across the ocean,’ Antanov said. ‘A global nuclear catastrophe would affect everyone.’

Fleitz: How the Biden/Harris Admin Helped Iran Get to the Brink of a Nuclear Bomb

Iran has made enormous progress in its nuclear weapons program during the Biden/Harris administration and reportedly can now enrich enough weapons-grade uranium to fuel nine nuclear bombs in one month. Although Iran may be nine months to a year away from having an operational nuclear weapon, recent attacks by Iran and Israel against each other’s territory have raised concerns that Iran’s rapidly advancing nuclear program could lead to a nuclear war in the Middle East. Biden/Harris administration officials have tried to blame President Trump for the advances in Iran’s nuclear program because he withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, the JCPOA. Democratic Governor Tim Walz made this claim during the October 1 vice presidential debate when he said, “There had been a coalition of nations that had boxed Iran’s nuclear program in […] Donald Trump pulled that program and put nothing else in its place.” This is absolutely false. The huge advances in Iran’s nuclear weapons program are the result of major flaws in the JCPOA and a series of terrible national security policy decisions, including repeated attempts to appease Iran, by the Obama and Biden administrations.

Mukherjee: The Islamization of Bangladesh by Muhammad Yunus – Backed by Obama, Soros, Clintons

  • Meanwhile, it appears as if Yunus is waiting for the result of the November 5 presidential election in the US. A victory by Kamala Harris could pave the way for him to remain in power indefinitely and complete the process of Islamizing Bangladesh.
  • “New Delhi is getting increasingly concerned that banned militant outfits like Jamaat-e-Islami and even radical organisations like Hizb ut Tahrir may soon enter mainstream politics in Bangladesh, thereby posing security challenges not just for India but for the entire South Asian region. . .” – The Anandabazar Patrika, September 14, 2024.
  • Yunus is already under pressure to lift the ban imposed on Hizb ut Tahrir by Sheikh Hasina’s previous government in 2009.
  • “Delighted to see an old friend of my father and the foundation, Nobel Prize winner @professormuhammadyunus, interim leader of Bangladesh, who stepped in to lead Bangladesh towards a peaceful future based on equity and fairness.” — Alexander Soros, Instagram, October 2, 2024.

Bishop: Venezuelan gang seizes San Antonio apartment complex

San Antonio’s massive apartment complex, Palatia Apartments (678 units), has been taken over by Tren de Aragua, a transnational criminal organization from Venezuela. This has caused fear and concern in the city. Four male members, who were documented Tren de Aragua gang members and had been previously detained by the U.S. Border Patrol but were later released. The gang has been involved in drug activity and human trafficking. It has been collecting rent from illegal aliens living at the complex. Additionally, a murder has occurred at the complex, according to interviewed residents. This alarming situation in San Antonio, a sanctuary city and FEMA center for human trafficking, has not received the national attention it deserves, unlike a similar incident in Aurora, Colorado.

Goldberg & Pitts: Can Healthcare Futures Save Healthcare’s Future?

Price controls will never be able to effectively control cost. Blood cancer is one of the disease’s most treatable forms. Thanks to decades of research, it’s become easy to eradicate through treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, and even techniques that use the body’s immune system to attack cancer cells. It’s an optimistic outlook for the more than 175,000 Americans that suffer from the disease. Yet one might be surprised to hear that drug companies are abandoning these treatments en masse. In 2022, Eli Lilly announced they would slash a promising $40-million blood cancer drug candidate from their books. Other firms are following suit. Their reasoning? Government price regulation. […] As Swedish economist Assar Lindbeck remarked in his seminal paper, “Rent Control as an Instrument of Housing Policy,” “Rent control appears to be the most efficient technique presently known to destroy a city: except bombing.” Similarly, there is nothing more effective at demolishing medical innovation than price controls on new medicine.

(ANOTHER STEAL ATTEMPT THAT WILL DISENFRANCHISE CITIZENS) Sperry: Trump’s Toughest Foe Could Be Harris Lawyer Marc Elias

If Donald Trump gets past Kamala Harris on Nov. 5, he’ll likely face a fiercer opponent in court – her campaign attorney, Marc Elias, who has vowed to fight the election outcome in every close state she loses. The longtime Democratic Party lawyer has already filed more than 60 preelection lawsuits to stop Trump from becoming president again by combatting what he calls Republican “voter suppression” efforts such as requiring voters to provide identification at the polls. Echoing a standard Democratic talking point, Elias maintains that such requirements are “racist” strategies designed to make it harder for minorities to vote. At the same time, Elias has been sending letters to election officials in Georgia and other key swing states threatening legal action if they uphold challenges to voter rolls to remove noncitizens and other ineligible registrants. Some Georgia officials complain that his intimidation tactics are interfering with county registrars’ ability to check the qualifications of voters.

Cassie B: Will the Harris-Biden Regime Make a Last-Minute Power Grab by Declaring a “Climate Emergency”?

Could the Biden-Harris administration use climate change as an excuse to make a last-minute power grab and appeal to climate-minded voters as his presidential term comes to a close? It’s an option that has been on the table for quite some time. The administration previously considered making a similar emergency declaration when clean energy legislation negotiations stalled. And just days after Biden’s inauguration, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called on him to declare a climate emergency. More recently, Bloomberg reported in April that White House officials had been talking about declaring a national climate emergency to coincide with Earth Day. […] ClimateDepot.com Executive Editor Marc Morano told Fox Business: “NBC News has reported that if Joe Biden declared a national climate emergency, he would have COVID-like powers under that emergency and NBC also compared the climate emergency powers to the 911 emergency powers.”

Iran is reportedly interrogating one of its top generals after recent Israeli strikes nearly dismantled the command structure of the regime-backed Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon, Arab and Israeli media reports suggest. The chief of the Quds Force, Iranian regime’s global terrorist arm, Esmail Qaani, has been taken into custody after an Israeli airstrike on Friday targeted and likely killed Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah’s projected successor, Hashem Safieddine. According to some Arab media reports, Qaani may have even suffered a ‘heart attack’ during the ‘interrogation.’

Long frustrated by perceived bias in the news media, former President Donald Trump called Thursday for the government to dramatically rebid the broadcast licenses of the major television networks to create new competition and balance. He further called CBS News’s decision to edit one of Vice President Kamala Harris’ answers in a “60 Minutes” interview a “fake news scandal.” “60 Minutes is a major part of the News Organization of CBS, which has just created the Greatest Fraud in Broadcast History,” Trump told Just the News. “CBS should lose its license, and it should be bid out to the Highest Bidder, as should all other Broadcast Licenses, because they are just as corrupt as CBS – and maybe even WORSE!”

[…] “My daughter faced something where she didn’t have anyone defending her voice,” Jones said, describing how her daughter was forced to compete against Thomas. “That was a pivotal experience.” Her daughter spent hours training to compete, but that was “stripped away from her, like it was a joke,” Jones stated.

[…] Blackburn introduced legislation for Oct. 10 to be designated as “American Girls In Sports Day.” Senate Democrats blocked the resolution, according to the senator’s press release. […] “This isn’t about politics,” she added. “It’s about defending truth.”

Annaleigh Wilson, a freshman at Eastmount High in Washington State, came in second place at the Cashmere Junior Olympics regional track meet 1,600-meter race on May 18, losing to a transgender female athlete from Liberty Bell High School, Source One reported at the time.

She and her parents have since spoken out about the disadvantage she and other biological females faced at the invite-only competition, with Annaleigh sharing her story at a dinner event on September 22.  The teenager was seen breaking down in tears as she recounted what happened that day, and the vitriol she and her parents have faced since they spoke up. She said the competition is a ‘pretty big deal’ and is ‘basically the championships for our area,’ and she had no idea that she would have to face a transgender athlete at the event. […] But, she said, ‘what hurts the most is that no matter how hard I train or how hard I push myself, the likelihood of beating a boy is slim.’

According to the Daily Mail, New York City has warned that around 14,000 hotel rooms will be needed until next year for illegal immigrants being housed. The total cost is expected to reach a staggering $5.76 billion. Since 2022, over 200,000 foreign nationals who have come into the US have arrived in NYC. Many have been bussed in from other parts of the country by GOP governors in the southern parts of the US, letting some of the blue states know the consequences of mass illegal immigration.

Durden: Fasting Activates Cell Repair Mechanism, Reverses Disease

Authored by Jingduan Yang, M.D. via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), Fasting helps with weight loss and activates the body’s autophagy, allowing deep-seated cell repair and improving cell health. As a result, fasting has been found to help prevent various diseases, slow aging, and effectively treat some illnesses. What Is Autophagy? Autophagy is an important function that every cell possess es. As the name suggests, it means self-engulfing and is an essential cellular self-cleaning process. Each cell contains multiple parts that keep it functioning continuously. Over time, these parts may become defective or stop performing and become waste inside an otherwise healthy cell. For example, when damaged proteins, discarded organelles, or other wastes appear inside our cells, the efficiency of normal cell operation is reduced.

Autophagy is equivalent to the body’s cellular recycling system that decomposes and recycles cell parts and waste.

INTERNATIONAL

Phillips: The Jewish moment

We live in a world in which morality has been sickeningly turned on its head. Earlier this week, there was a sound that has become all too rare. It was a Western political leader expressing unequivocal moral clarity. Asked about U.S. President Joe Biden’s opposition to Israel striking Iran’s nuclear facilities in defense against the Islamic regime’s attacks, Canada’s Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre said: “I think the idea of allowing a genocidal, theocratic, unstable dictatorship that is desperate to avoid being overthrown by its own people to develop nuclear weapons is about the most dangerous and irresponsible thing that the world could ever allow. If Israel were to stop that genocidal, theocratic, unstable government from acquiring nuclear weapons, it would be a gift by the Jewish state to humanity.” Poilievre’s remarks were as startling as finding a diamond in a garbage heap.

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 Harris/Obama/Biden 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. Our state and national elections are at great risk from the very aggressive and radical leftist Democrat operatives with documented rigging, mail-in voter fraud and illegals voting across the country (yes, with illegals voting across the country) in the last several election cycles.

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.
