NOTABLE QUOTES

Ryan Zinke Interior secretary in the Trump administration and currently running for a new congressional seat in Montana: I think in the Biden administration what we’re looking at is a manifest doctrine of weakness. How did we get here? Through weakness and retreat. And when U.S. stumbles, NATO falls. “President Trump was right, NATO allies had not been putting money towards building a credible military force, and quite frankly, without the U.S., NATO is an idea without capability.”

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) 81 year old Speaker of the House: While we have made progress much more needs to be done to improve people’s lives. This election is crucial: nothing less is at stake than our Democracy. But we don’t agonize-we organize. I am running for re-election to Congress to deliver For The People and defend Democracy.

Rachel Bovard contributor to The Federalist: Republicans cannot simply rally voters with a promise not to make it worse. Republicans cannot, in other words, do what they have largely always done with a Senate majority: set it on a shelf, polish it, and admire it from afar while checking off a Beltway-driven agenda designed solely to protect incumbents.

Thelonious contributor to American Greatness: Chosen to shore up the confidence of the all-important socially conservative, evangelical base unpersuaded of Trump’s sincerity (even though Trump proved to be a more reliable social and cultural conservative than any Bush ever was), Pence’s pedigree was as establishment Republican as you can get, with no trace of America First policy emphasis. That changed after Trump chose him for the vice-presidential slot, and no one during the tenure of the administration was more adept at singing the president’s praises in public while undermining his key policy priorities in private than Mike Pence.

J. Scott Turner contributor to The Spectator: Totalitarian states, which our universities are coming to resemble, are kept in power by the skillful use of lies and pressure to conform. Any unapproved thought that pops into someone’s head is a threat to the state. If the person can be made to believe that no one else harbored the same thoughts, the regime’s power is secure. That is the purpose of propaganda: not to tell lies, but to get everyone to acquiesce in those lies.

William Kilpatrick contributor to Frontpage Magazine: Vigano wants to wake up the sheep and so it seems quite fitting that he uses the strong language of the Bible to arouse people from their slumber.  While other bishops babble on about “inclusivity,” “dialogue,” and “open-mindedness,” it’s somehow reassuring that at least one bishop points to the very disturbing signs of the time. It’s easy enough to dismiss Vigano as a paranoid conspiracy theorist, but let’s not forget that the Bible contains many admonitions to be alert to the signs of the time, and many warnings about “spiritual” leaders who are not what they seem.

Glenn Ellmers contributor to American Greatness: For several centuries, at least since John Stuart Mill, the Left has defined itself by its commitment to freedom of speech. This was practically the sine qua non for calling oneself a liberal. Yet some time around 2019-20, in the historical blink of an eye, free speech was simply . . . dismissed. It became obligatory on the Left to support systematic control of our public discourse by a handful of massive tech companies, in cooperation with the government.

Art Moore columnist  for WND: The surgeon general of the United States believes Joe Rogan’s top-rated podcast should be censored because of its interviews with prominent health scientists who come to conclusions based on assessments of data and studies that contradict some of the evolving stances of the Biden administration.

Issues & Insights Editorial Board: But there’s been nothing routine about the COVID-19-related shutdown shock. It’s expected to be two to five “times larger than the typical unemployment shock.” The number of additional – and we’ll add “avoidable” – deaths is likely to exceed 800,000 “over the next 15 years.”

Bill Maher Real Time  host: This, it’s just gone on too long. Nobody cares anymore. I don’t want to live in a paranoid world anymore, your mask-paranoid world … It’s silly now. You know, you mask, you have to have a card, you have to have a booster, they scan your head like you’re a cashier and I’m a bunch of bananas. I’m not bananas, you are!

Dr. Vladimir Zelenko one of the first doctors  to successfully treat COVID patients in the outpatient setting: There is now a great deal of debate about whether “fully vaccinated” means two shots or three or even in some cases four! Is there any reason to believe we aren’t headed towards a regime of endless vaccine boosters? “Regarding the vaccine boosters, let me tell you it’s  the biggest joke in the history of medicine. These vaccines — whether it’s the first round or the thirty-second shot that you’re going to get — cause AIDS  – Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Before you think I’m nuts, I didn’t say it causes HIV. HIV is a virus that causes AIDS. But there are other things that can damage the immune system.

Joe Allen expert in transhumanism: What will not be present in the Metaverse, in any meaningful way, is the Good. How can real charity, real altruism, unfold in a simulated environment? How can there be real forgiveness or reconciliation in a realm where the only true sacrifices are the time and energy spent in VR that could have been spent in the physical world? Any truth or beauty conveyed in VR will be simulated, but it will be true and beautiful still. Any goodness that occurs in VR will be purely artificial, and therefore of no real consequence.

PRESIDENT TRUMP

Thelonious: Donald Trump and the Future of MAGA

In 2016, Donald Trump pulled off an extraordinary political feat only he could have achieved. As the army of highly compensated professional political consultants in Washington, D.C., watched aghast, Trump single-handedly wrested the Republican nomination from the grip of a GOP establishment that had long enjoyed complete control of national and state party hierarchies, fundraising structures, and think tanks that determine policy priorities. As Trump’s rogue campaign trounced establishment candidates in state after state in the GOP primaries—despite the unified opposition of Conservatism, Inc.—he not only defeated that establishment’s lockstep institutional opposition, he defeated their agenda in a way that permanently shifted the debate on the Right and throughout the country. On his signature issues of immigration, trade, and foreign policy, Trump blew up the two-party orthodoxy that had reigned in Washington for decades.  […] It is a precarious moment, not so much for Donald Trump as for the people who supported him. Trump broke the Republican establishment mold in many ways, but perhaps the most important lesson of his stunning takeover and transformation of a complaisant and corrupt GOP was the example he gave for those who recognize that preserving the republic will require significantly more than election-year posturing and feckless accommodation of the woke, America Last agenda and rhetoric of the Left. He showed there is a huge constituency of American voters looking for political leaders who will stand up unapologetically for their interests and call out those forces (including big corporations) working to destroy our civilization, without fear of offending the bland, poll-tested orthodoxies of the political consultants and the donor class. Trump’s electoral success in blowing up the old model has inspired a whole new generation of MAGA advocates to take up the political mantle of America First with . . .   [NOTE: Thelonious is the pseudonym of a former Trump Administration official.]

TRANSHUMANISM: A NEW GODLESS RELIGION

Transhumanism is a “technoprogressive” socio-political and intellectual movement that advocates for the use of technology in order to transform the human organism radically, with the ultimate goal of becoming “posthuman.”

Allen: Transhumanism is Satanism With A Brain Chip

Let me tell you a personal secret. I sense something satanic in The Machine. It’s been that way for as long as I can remember. Maybe it’s from watching too much TV. Since its invention, the hypnotic Cyclops has swirled with techno-dystopias, and I watched plenty growing up. Or it could’ve been my Southern Baptist upbringing, with tall tales of implanted 666 microchips controlled by the digital Beast. It’s hard to tell. This suspicion certainly didn’t start as an intellectual premise. For decades, my instincts told me something demonic lurks in advanced technology—from nuclear warheads to nanobots—and it’s never gone away. Many others feel the same. Call us natural born Luddites. […]  Technology has inspired a dark religion, obsessed with power. […]  Of all the arrogant blasphemies uttered by techno-lovers, none gets to the point quite like More’s 1991 essay “In Praise of the Devil,” published in Atheist Notes. Burning with the fire of youth (and possibly ‘roid rage), More wrote: . . .

Allen: The Metaverse Is Already A Cesspool Of Perversion

The YouTuber goes on to explain that this sort of thing is already quite common in the emerging Metaverse. Much like the Internet in its early days, or the printing press before it, the dark side of virtual reality allows the nastiest fantasies to come to life. Due to the anonymity inherent in virtual environments, the Metaverse provides a “safe space” for deviant behavior. ZeroHedge was right to warn, “Parents who bought their children the Oculus Quest 2 for Christmas could be in for a surprise as there have been several instances of child grooming within one of the virtual reality headset’s most popular chatroom services VRChat.”

DURHAM INVESTIGATION

Techno Fog: Durham: DNC Lawyer Marc Elias Has Given Grand Jury Testimony

Today, Special Counsel John Durham provided a “discovery Update” to the court in the Michael Sussmann case. In this filing, available here, he disclosed that his team has obtained a tremendous amount of information ranging from a variety of sources – including Perkins Coie, the Hillary Clinton Campaign, and former DNC/Clinton lawyer Mark Elias. While Sussmann has been charged with giving false statements to then-FBI General Counsel James Baker regarding the Alfa Bank/Trump Organization hoax (background here), Durham notes that the “Government also maintains an active, ongoing criminal investigation of” Sussmann’s conduct. In other words, Sussmann’s criminal conduct likely is not limited to false statements. There is more. If we are to make an educated guess, it may have to do with . . .

DOJ

Jansen: Feds looking at fake 2020 elector certificates for potential criminal charges, DOJ official says

The Justice Department is weighing whether to press criminal charges over fake Electoral College certifications in the 2020 election, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco told CNN on Tuesday. “Our prosecutors are looking at those and I can’t say anything more about ongoing investigations,” Monaco told CNN.

Disputes about state electors were at the heart of former President Donald Trump’s attempt to thwart the counting of Electoral College votes on Jan. 6, 2021, when a mob ransacked the Capitol and temporarily halted the count. […]  The fake certificates, which falsely declared Trump the victor in several states that President Joe Biden won, were sent to the National Archives by Trump’s allies in mid-December 2020. Monaco didn’t detail what prosecutors are reviewing in terms of the 2020 vote count. But Monaco said the department would “follow the facts and the law, wherever they lead, to address conduct of any kind and at any level that is part of an assault on our democracy.”

GOP

Republicans consider shutting down government over vax mandate

Several Republicans are considering shutting down the government if the next funding bill includes money for federal COVID-19 vaccine mandates. Fox News Digital exclusively obtained a letter signed by a growing number of Republicans, led by Rep. Chip Roy of Texas, pledging to pull support from government funding legislation that includes language giving funds for vaccine mandates. The current funding for the federal government will expire mid-February, meaning Congress will have to pass a continuing resolution or appropriations legislation to keep the lights on. Roy told Fox News Digital in a Tuesday statement that he and his colleagues are “going to find out” whether the Republicans will “unite” and “pledge not to fund these mandates.” […]  The letter is making its way around the Hill this week as the Feb. 18 federal funding deadline approaches, and lawmakers have until the end of the day Friday to sign on.

There are already over a dozen signers, including GOP Reps. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Clay Higgins of Louisiana, Paul Gosar of Arizona, and Lauren Boebert of Colorado. [Note: Contact your representatives if you want them to sign the letter.]

Tietz: Youngkin Opens An Anonymous Tip Line For Parents To Report Instances Of Schools Teaching Critical Race Theory

Youngkin has doubled down on his commitment to rid CRT from the state’s schools. Upon taking office on Jan. 15, Youngkin issued his first executive order that vowed to end “the use of inherently divisive concepts – including Critical Race Theory – in public education.”

Bovard: Republicans Plan To Win Back The Senate, Then Do Nothing, Per Usual

The 2022 agenda for House Republicans may be out of touch with the current political moment, but at least they can say they’re trying. Over on the other side of the Capitol, Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., the leader of the Senate’s Republican conference, has announced he’s not even putting out an agenda for 2022. According to reporting by Axios last month, McConnell told a room full of donors, lobbyists, and in-cycle senators that he would not be putting forward an agenda outlining the priorities for his conference should Senate Republicans regain a majority in 2022. When asked by CNN last week what the GOP agenda would be in a potential majority, McConnell responded, “That is a very good question and I’ll let you know when we take it back.” He went on, “This midterm election will be a report card on the performance of this entire Democratic government, the president, the House, and the Senate.”

In other words, McConnell and GOP senators seem prepared to run solely on a platform detailing how bad the other guy is, and that scrupulously and intentionally avoids discussing what they intend to do about it.

Richardson: The GOP Hasn’t Suddenly Discovered Its Spine

“The political elite have changed their tune” is about as self-evident a truth as single men in possession of large fortunes wanting wives. Every year, spring returns to melt the snow; every time there’s a bid to protect big business, it will be signed by Sen. Mitch McConnell; and every election season, opinions that were anathema one month ago sprout from the unlikeliest of lips. As TAC managing editor Micah Meadowcroft has pointed out, we should be wary of Democrats who have suddenly begun to sound centrist. We should also be wary of those just to the right of center, who appear, at last, to have discovered their spines—particularly on matters of Covid-19 policy. After just under two years of browbeating from their voters back home, the grand ole party has only flipped the script on Covid policy now because their Democratic betters have decided “endemic” is suddenly cool and fun.

BIDEN’S UNCONSTITUTIONAL VACCINE MANDATE

Rucker: Bombshell Cover-Up: Cancer Diagnoses in the Military Rose Over THREE-FOLD Since Jabs Were Introduced

Conservative commentator Daniel Horowitz from The Blaze posted a follow-up bombshell of information he received from one of the panelists, attorney Thomas Renz: I can share with you from attorney Thomas Renz that the number of cancer diagnoses in the military’s DMED system went from a 5-year average (2016-2020) of 38,700 per year to 114,645 in the first 11 months of 2021. This is a predominately young population. Unlike VAERS where the naysayers can suggest that anyone can submit, this is only by military doctors and quantifies every single ICD code in the military for tri care billing of Humana. This is the ultimate defined and finite population with excellent surveillance.[…]  The testimony that Renz delivered should be enough to compel our government to immediately halt the vaccine push, reevaluate the data that they have, and release it all to the public for independent scrutiny. They won’t do this, of course, because they have a universal vaccination agenda that they will not willingly stop. It will take a concerted effort by patriots to share this data and expose the powers-that-be for what they’re trying to do to the people. “We have substantial data showing that we saw, for example, miscarriages increasing by 300% over the five-year average, almost.,” Renz said. “We saw almost 300% increase in cancer over the five-year average.”

Bleau: OSHA Formally Withdraws Biden Vaccine Mandate

Although OSHA is withdrawing the vaccination and testing ETS as an enforceable emergency temporary standard, the agency is not withdrawing the ETS as a proposed rule. The agency is prioritizing its resources to focus on finalizing a permanent COVID-19 Healthcare Standard,” the agency said, emphasizing that it “strongly encourages vaccination of workers against the continuing dangers posed by COVID-19 in the workplace.”

Vance: OSHA Should Have Been Abolished Long Before COVID

According to legal scholar James R. Rogers of Texas A&M University: “OSHA has tried to use the ETS process only nine times in its history. Of those nine ETS attempts, six were challenged in court. And of those six challenged, only one ETS was upheld.” […] The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) should be abolished. But it should not be abolished because of anything to do with COVID-19. […]  Regardless of the noble mission of OSHA, the agency is clearly exercising an unconstitutional use of federal power. It infringes on the traditional authority of the states to exercise their general “police powers” concerning public health and safety. This doesn’t mean that the states have always acted wisely or prudently, or never infringed on individual liberty and private property. But the federal government has never been afforded general police powers by the Constitution. This is what is missing from all the analysis about the Supreme Court overturning the Biden mandate. OSHA should have been abolished long before COVID-19 came on the scene.  Accordingly, several Republican members of Congress have introduced a bill (H.R. 5813), the “NOSHA ACT,” to abolish OSHA. According to Rep. Thomas Massie: . . . […]  According to Rep. Andy Biggs, the primary sponsor of the bill: . . .

Piper: CDC study suggests unboosted vaccines become worse than nothing against Omicron

Two-dose COVID-19 vaccines may after an initial protective window become less effective against symptomatic infection by the Omicron variant than not getting jabbed at all, according to little-noticed findings in a federal study of how well boosters performed against different variants. The “adjusted odds ratio” crossed 1 for vaccinated versus unvaccinated individuals 7-10 months after vaccination, according to the “original investigation” by Atlanta-based CDC researchers, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association last week. That means the vaccinated were more likely than the unvaccinated to have symptomatic Omicron infections beginning at about the time the former become eligible for boosters. When considering the upper bound of the 95% confidence interval, the disparity emerged two months earlier.

Shaeen: Pfizer begins clinical trials for COVID-19 vaccine designed especially to tackle Omicron that could be available within TWO MONTHS – even though variant appears to have peaked in US

Pfizer, and its partner BioNTech, have started clinical trials for a new COVID-19 vaccine that is specifically targeted at the Omicron variant, which they say could be available as early as late March. The New York City based pharmaceutical company announced Tuesday that it is recruiting 1,420 participants for a three cohort trial that will determine the safety and effectiveness of the company’s shot. It has launched the trial despite CDC data showing that the fast-spreading variant already appears to have peaked in the US, meaning it could have largely disappeared by the time a shot is ready. […]  But new data shows that the sheer infectiousness of Omicron may ultimately stop its spread.

Furr: Fired Workers Sue MI Blue Cross Blue Shield over Vaccine Mandate: ‘We’re Not Just Numbers’

“I’m supposed to be a safety net for [my kids,]” she told the outlet. “I have to choose between my livelihood and the insurance and all of that or going through a medical procedure that I 100% don’t agree with.” […]  Kowalczyk, who is of Native American descent of the Woodland Indians, said she chose not to get the COVID-19 vaccine because of her religious beliefs. She’s among the 250 Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan employees who were terminated on January 5 for not complying with the company’s vaccination deadline. […]  Now, over 170 terminated insurance employees denied a religious exemption, such as Kowalczyk, have joined forces to take legal action against the company, and attorney Noah Hurwitz is representing them.

CHINA: AMERICA’S MORTAL ENEMY

Hayward: ‘Red-Handed’ Reveals Chinese Donations to University of Pennsylvania Soared After Biden Center Announcement

Three years before Joe Biden was elected president, the University of Pennsylvania made him a professor and established the “Biden Center” to promote his vision of “global leadership” — a vision, Schweizer notes, that viewed Russia as the great looming threat to world peace, but had absolutely nothing negative to say about China. […]  This should come as no surprise, for as Red-Handed outlines, the financing of the Biden Center was murky, but a great deal of documented Chinese money began flowing to the University of Pennsylvania after it was opened. “In the three years before the announcement, the university received around $15 million. In the three years after, the total was close to $40 million. The latter number is $60 million from China if you include contracts,” Schweizer writes. Some of those donors were anonymous, but declared donors included the state-owned China Merchants Bank, and a company called Cathay Fortune owned by “a secretive Chinese billionaire who appears to have strong links with the Communist Party” named Yu Yong.

Goodenough: Kremlin: Putin Awaiting US Written Response to Russia’s Security Demands

Russia is awaiting Washington’s written response to its calls for security guarantees in Europe – including a demand for no further admissions to NATO – and will then decide on its next move, the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday. The Biden administration has stated repeatedly that the demand to halt further NATO expansion is a non-starter, that the so-called “open door” policy of admitting to the alliance any aspirant that meets laid-down conditions will not change. But when it comes to a Russian reaction to that stance, Peskov told reporters, “I don’t want to formulate anything now, and there is no sense in it before we get the [written U.S.] response.”

Sundance:  White House Will Not Answer the Only Question That Matters About Ukraine and NATO

There is really only one question that matters at the heart of the U.S. position toward Ukraine and NATO.  It was asked halfway through the press conference with Jennifer Psaki today. “Considering that NATO allies have not held up their own agreement to spend 2 percent of their own GDP on their military preparedness … if Europeans are not willing to expend their own blood and treasure on their own self-defense why should Americans be expected to do so?”   Spoiler Alert… The White House could not answer the question.

Faddis: This Is How World War I Started – Biden Stumbles Toward War With Russia

In the epic book “The Guns of August,” Barbara W. Tuchman detailed in fascinating detail how the European powers stumbled their way into World War I. None of them wanted the conflict. None of them anticipated its scope. Nonetheless, step by step, devoid of strategy and foresight, as if compelled by some invisible force, they proceeded down the path to a conflagration that would ultimately claim 20 million lives. We may be on the precipice of such a catastrophe again. Joe Biden, incompetent and compromised, has no plan whatsoever for managing the building Ukraine crisis, and yet, compelled no doubt by plummeting poll numbers and domestic political considerations he is now pushing American forces forward into Europe and to the borders of Russia. Multiple press outlets are reporting that Biden is in the final stages of identifying American military units to be sent to Eastern Europe. As many as 50,000 troops may be involved. He is also reportedly preparing to send warships and aircraft to Europe. The forces being dispatched will apparently be sent to multiple locations including the Baltic republics, which share borders with both Russia and Belarus.

A CHURCH IN CRISIS

Kilpatrick: ‘Pope Francis’ – A Wolf in Shepherd’s Clothing?

“A non-Catholic Pope”?  It sounds like a contradiction in terms.  But those are the words used to describe Pope Francis by Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, the former Apostolic Nuncio to the United States.  In fact, he rarely uses the term “Pope Francis.”  He refers to him instead as “Bergoglio” and to his pontificate as the “Bergoglian papacy.” Vigano has a following in some Catholic circles but it’s likely that the vast majority of Catholics have never heard of him.  Yet the questions he raises about Pope Francis are of great consequence, not just for Catholics but for non-Catholics as well. Since there are about 1.3 billion Catholics in the world, whoever leads them can have a significant effect on a large segment of the global population.  It’s widely thought, for instance, that Pope John Paul II did more to put an end to communism in Eastern Europe than any other individual with the exception of Ronald Reagan.  For evidence of the close collaboration between the two men, read historian Paul Kengor’s revealing book, A Pope and a President. Now we have a new pope and a new president and neither of them seem terribly concerned about the revival of communist power throughout the world.  In fact, both men have surrounded themselves with left-leaning advisors and appointees. […]  As far as I know, Vigano has never actually said that Francis is not the pope, but he has implied as much.  The evidence that he and others present can be divided into four categories: . . .

Munro: Healthcare Executives Import 1,000 Nurses a Month for American Jobs

About 1,000 nurses are arriving in the United States each month from African nations, the Philippines and the Caribbean, said Sinead Carbery, president of O’Grady Peyton International, an international recruiting firm. While the United States has long drawn nurses from abroad, she said demand from American health care facilities is the highest she’s seen in three decades. There are an estimated 10,000 foreign nurses with U.S. job offers on waiting lists for interviews at American embassies around the world for the required visas. This medical migration of nurses and doctors “ultimately is about the money” for the medical sector, said Kevin Lynn, founder of Doctors Without Jobs. The New York Times article admitted the central role of economics in the healthcare migration with a headline saying: “Rich Countries Lure Health Workers From Low-Income Nations to Fight Shortages.” That’s a sharp break from the newspaper’s usual migration coverage, which overwhelmingly focussed on migrant family dramas rather than economic impacts. “The medical establishment, just like any other corporation, is looking for efficiency — faster, cheaper,” said Lynn, who campaigns for American medical graduates who lose vital training slots in government-funded residency programs to imported foreign medical graduates.

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.
