Daily News Roundup

NOTABLE QUOTES

Kurt Schlichter contributor to TownHall: It’s the DeSantis Doctrine, and it’s summed up this way: Your garbage institutions don’t mean Schiff to me. I am going to ruthlessly wield my power to protect normal people from your depredations. And I’m going to smile doing it.

Dr. Marty Makary  contributor to Fox News: There are only three coronaviruses that cause serious illness in humans: SARS, MERS and COVID. SARS and MERS spread by air. Why did Dr. Fauci think COVID was so different? The NIH could have done the definitive experiment in one day to get the answer.

Katie Jerkovich contributor to The Daily Wire: Adam Carolla said the reason why kids have been forced to mask in schools two years after the start of the pandemic is worse than them getting COVID-19 and all about making them “good subjects.”

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) : …”the war may fundamentally alter the global economic and geopolitical order should energy trade shift, supply chains reconfigure, payment networks fragment, and countries rethink reserve currency holdings.”

Andrea Widburg contributor to American Thinker:  . . . there’s the question of whether Russia really is America’s enemy—and I say that despite Biden’s gloating about destroying Russia’s economy. The reason it’s a question is that, for Biden, as for Obama, one of his biggest foreign policy goals is to enter into an agreement with Iran (that would be the “Death to America,” exporter of worldwide terrorism Iran) that will give Iran billions of dollars while speeding its nuclear development. That’s bad on its own terms but what’s really weird is that Biden is using Russia to negotiate the Iran deal.

Victor Davis Hanson contributor to American Greatness: It is not “un-American” to point out that prior American appeasement under the Obama and the Biden Administrations explains not why Putin wished to go into Ukraine, but why he felt he could. It is not “treasonous” to say Ukraine and the United States previously should have stayed out of each other’s domestic affairs and politics — but still do not excuse Putin’s savage aggression. It is not traitorous to admit that Russia for centuries relied on buffer states between Europe — lost when its Warsaw Pact satellite members joined NATO after its defeat in the Cold War. But that reality also does not justify Putin’s savage attack.

Vladimir Putin in a speech to Russians: ‘I do not judge those with villas in Miami or the French Riviera. Or who can’t get by without oysters or foie gras or so-called ‘gender freedoms.’ The problem is they mentally exist there, and not here, with our people, with Russia,’ he said. ‘The West will try to bet on the so-called fifth column, on traitors… to divide our society.. to provoke civil confrontation… to strive to achieve its aim. And there is one aim – the destruction of Russia.’

John Binder contributor to Breitbart: While sending nearly $14 billion to help Ukraine in its conflict with Russia, President Joe Biden fiercely opposed a similar amount for a border wall along the United States-Mexico border to stem illegal immigration and drug trafficking.

Meghan McCain contributor to The Daily Mail: A big reason I don’t create content for TikTok nor would I ever allow my daughter to use it is because TikTok’s parent company ByteDance is headquartered in and run by our foreign adversary. If you take time to read the app’s U.S. based privacy policies, you will read about the ways in which TikTok plans to collect biometric identifiers and biometric information. The data being collected include ‘faceprints’ which are digitally recorded representations of a person’s face and ‘voice prints’ which are digital recordings of a person’s unique vocal characteristics. Why does China want this specific information from American users and all of our data?

Lincoln Brown contributor to PJ Media: Once again, Romney showed his true colors. And while they are by no means red, they are not necessarily blue. Romney is showing his actual preference, which appears to be a muted, malleable pastel that can change on demand. A political chameleon, if you will. And a clumsy one at that.

Matt Rosenberg Hillsdale College lecture: So there’s violent crime aplenty in Chicago. But punishment? Not so much.

Spencer: Trump Reveals What Kept Putin From Invading Ukraine During His Presidency
Nothing is more controversial about Donald Trump than his personality; even many people who supported his policies and believe he was an effective president ruefully admit that they wish he would tone it down a bit. Although, to be sure, many others were and are delighted that he is utterly sincere, even in his notorious “mean tweets,” without the calculation and artifice of the average politician. On Saturday night in South Carolina, Trump went even farther, asserting that “my personality is what kept us out of war.” Whatever you may think of him, he has a point. Trump’s assessment of Old Joe Biden’s disastrous presidency was right on the money. “You could take the five worst presidents in American history and they would not have done the damage Joe Biden has done in just 13 months.” That would be Barack Obama, Jimmy Carter, Herbert Hoover, James Buchanan and Franklin Pierce; Biden makes all of them look like candidates for Mount Rushmore. Trump was also correct in his characterization of his foundering successor. “We have a president representing our country at the most important time in history, who is physically and mentally challenged.”

THE DEEP STATE

War Room: Remembering Rich Higgins w/ Col. Derek Harvey
Col. Derek Harvey reports to Steve Bannon from the memorial service being held for Rich Higgins, the American hero who died recently at the age of 47. Higgins had tried to warn President Trump about the dangers he faced in his own administration from Deep State operatives. The memo he wrote actually got him fired from his job at the Department of Defense, and then the people he warned against tried to impeach Trump twice.

GOP

Schlichter: The DeSantis Doctrine
You gotta hand it to a guy who convinces Democrats to die on the hill of defending perverted groomers talking about sex with little school kids. It’s on-brand for their fellow travelers at The Lincoln Project, but you would think that Democrats actually want to win elections. But no – they want to make the schools safe for pedos, and they don’t care who knows it. But they’ll care plenty in November when parents around the country come out and vote for The Party of Not Hitting on Der Kinder.  Donald Trump has his record of achievement – economic success and peace abroad. But Ron DeSantis has the DeSantis Doctrine, sort of like the Monroe Doctrine, except instead of keeping shady foreigners out of our hemisphere, the DeSantis Doctrine keeps woke fascists out of our lives.

THE DEMOCRAT LED WAR ON CHILDREN

Jerkovich: Adam Carolla Says Reason Why Kids Have Been Forced To Mask In Schools Is Much Worse Than COVID
“Why, why the kids and why the emphasis on the kids,” Adam said. “This hasn’t been dangerous for kids. We’ve known this. This kills sick people, old people, obese people, comorbidity people. It doesn’t ostensibly effect kids, they’re in the safest category.” “Well, just remember this phrase Megyn: ‘crate training’,” he added. “You can not train a dog when it’s middle aged. You got to get them when they’re puppies. And get them trained up and into that crate. And that’s what we’re doing with kids. Because this will not be the last emergency. And it will not be the last time the government and the governor and the mayor need to exact their power.” “And so, ‘let’s get the kids into the crate,’” Carolla continued. “‘Let’s get them coached up. And then they’ll be ours. We can do whatever we want with them after that, they’ll listen to anything. They’ll be good subjects.’”

Twitchy: Human trafficking sting in Polk County nabs four Disney employees
We just had to do a post about this. It was a pressure campaign from Disney employees in Florida that led CEO Bob Chapek to bend the knee and tell Gov. Ron DeSantis just how “disappointed” and “concerned” the company was over the Parental Rights in Education Bill. Chapek then sent out a mass email apologizing to employees for the delay in opposing the bill and addressing the pain, frustration, and sadness the delay had caused them. CNN’s Brian Stelter wondered on “Reliable Sources” how a CEO could be so out-of-touch with his employees. After all, this is a company that’s all about children.
Speaking of children, four Disney employees were caught up in a human trafficking sting in Polk County.

FAUCI’S VIRUS: IT’S POLITICAL

Dr. Marty Makary On The Mistakes The Covid Experts Made
The medical establishment has marched in lockstep on COVID-19, presenting a consensus of expertise as they marginalized physicians who had different opinions. Two years into the pandemic, it’s fair to ask, how did public health officials do?  Surface transmission  Wash your hands like crazy (at least 20 seconds) and pour alcohol-based solutions on your grocery bags to stop COVID transmission, you were told for months. Despite being an expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci immediately applied the influenza surface transmission model to COVID. The logical starting hypothesis should have been that COVID was aerosolized. There are only three coronaviruses that cause serious illness in humans: SARS, MERS and COVID. SARS and MERS spread by air. Why did Dr. Fauci think COVID was so different? The NIH could have done the definitive experiment in one day to get the answer. It’s OK to be wrong in science, but not for months when the National Institutes of Health could have spent a fraction of its $42 billion budget to instantly establish how COVID spreads.  No hospital visitation  The barbaric policy of banning loved ones from holding the hand of their dying loved one and saying goodbye was a human rights violation that spanned much of the pandemic. All the so-called experts and the medical establishment were complicit, allowing this cruel policy to be instituted while abandoning their duty to respect the dignity of human life. As a physician, I can assure you there are things worse than dying. {…]  Ignoring natural immunity . . .
Downplaying therapeutics . . . […]  Throughout the pandemic, all COVID decisions were made by a small group of like-minded government doctors who often replaced the scientific method with medical dogma. They had tremendous influence over medical universities, scientific journals and medical societies. In fact, nearly all of these entities received funding from Drs. Fauci and Collins and from Big Pharma. It’s no surprise, then, that with one united voice, the leaders of these organizations joined the groupthink bandwagon as the media parroted whatever they said.

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA REGIME: TRANSFORMING FOREIGN POLICY

New Iran Agreement Would Let Russia Cash in on $10 Billion Contract To Build Nuclear Sites
Russia’s top state-controlled energy company is set to cash in on a $10 billion contract to build out one of Iran’s most contested nuclear sites as part of concessions granted in the soon-to-be-announced nuclear agreement that will guarantee sanctions on both countries are lifted. Russian and Iranian documents translated for the Washington Free Beacon show that Rosatom, Russia’s leading energy company, has a $10 billion contract with Iran’s atomic energy organization to expand Tehran’s Bushehr nuclear plant. Russia and the Biden administration confirmed on Tuesday that the new nuclear agreement includes carveouts that will waive sanctions on both countries so that Russia can make good on this contract.

Sundance: IMF Reports the Ukraine Crisis Will ‘Fundamentally Alter’ Global Economic Trade, Finance and Political Order
When they say the quiet part out loud, pay attention. …”the war may fundamentally alter the global economic and geopolitical order should energy trade shift, supply chains reconfigure, payment networks fragment, and countries rethink reserve currency holdings.”  (LINK) The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is a global financial mechanism located in Washington DC.  According to the U.S. Treasury Department, “The IMF is an organization of 189 member countries that works to foster global monetary cooperation, secure financial stability, facilitate international trade, promote high employment and sustainable economic growth.”  Put in succinct terms, the IMF is the financial control mechanism for western government. When the IMF starts saying the Ukraine conflict “may” trigger a new world order of global economic and financial systems, we should pay attention, because behind those statements is a reality that no one has mentioned yet. Think of it this way…  […]  Pay very close attention to anyone who would say “Putin has already lost”, or any iteration therein.  Putin and Chairman Xi will embrace this new global financial system of independent mechanisms based on value that is separate from the U.S. dollar. Regardless of the outcome in Ukraine, this situation within the international financial world is not a loss for Putin.  Additionally, and not coincidentally, this new financial world order is also embraced by the domestic ideologues inside the United States who have long felt that our geopolitical power was grossly inflated by the economic value of our currency in the world of trade and finance. Not only does President Putin and Chairman Xi welcome this new order, no one is smiling bigger than former President Obama and his ‘fundamental change’ crew. THIS is the change they were hoping for.

Harnwell: WW3 Postponed — Russia and Ukraine “close to an agreement”…
“The headline today is that Ukraine and Russia are very close to some kind of deal,” says Ben Harnwell, reporting out of Rome. “The sticking point seems to be neutrality. Three weeks ago, neutrality was interpreted as Ukraine’s clear refusal of intentions to join either NATO or the European Union. … What neutrality is meaning today is that Ukraine has to commit to no foreign military installations on Ukrainian territory.”

VDH: 10 Realities of Ukraine
One. Reassuring an enemy what one will not do ensures that the enemy will do just that and more. Unpredictability and occasional enigmatic silence bolster deterrence. But Joe Biden’s predictable reassurance to Russian President Vladimir Putin that he will show restraint means Putin likely will not.
Two. No-fly zones don’t work in a big-power, symmetrical standoff. In a cost-benefit analysis, they are not worth the risk of shooting down the planes of a nuclear power. They usually do little to stop planes outside of such zones shooting missiles into them. Sending long-range, high-altitude anti-aircraft batteries to Ukraine to deny Russian air superiority is a far better way of regaining air parity. Three. Europe, NATO members, and Germany in particular have de facto admitted that their past decades of shutting down nuclear plants, coal mines, and oil and gas fields have left Europe at the mercy of Russia. They are promising to rearm and meet their promised military contributions. By their actions, they are admitting that their critics, the United States in particular, were right, and they were dangerously wrong in empowering Putin. Four. China is now pro-Russian.

Lewis: Putin’s chilling warning to the West and oligarchs: Ranting president tells ‘scum’ traitors Russians will ‘spit them out like a midge that flew into their mouths’ and says Western ‘attempt to have global dominance’ is coming to an end.
Vladimir Putin today sent a chilling warning to the West and oligarchs telling ‘scum’ traitors that Russians will ‘spit them out like a midge that flew into their mouths’ – as he claimed Western ‘attempts to have global dominance’ is coming to an end. The Russian President, speaking in a bombastic televised address from the Kremlin nearly three weeks into Moscow’s invasion, warned the West would use ‘those who earn their money here, but live over there’ as a ‘fifth column’ to ‘divide our society’.  ‘I do not judge those with villas in Miami or the French Riviera. Or who can’t get by without oysters or foie gras or so-called ‘gender freedoms.’ The problem is they mentally exist there, and not here, with our people, with Russia,’ he said.  ‘The West will try to bet on the so-called fifth column, on traitors… to divide our society.. to provoke civil confrontation… to strive to achieve its aim. And there is one aim – the destruction of Russia.’

The Justice Department on Wednesday announced charges against five individuals working with the People’s Republic of China’s secret police for allegedly spying on congressional candidate and other U.S. residents critical of the Chinese Communist Party. Three separate cases were filed in the Eastern District of New York in connection with the allegations and the agency’s larger campaign against so-called transnational repression, according to the department’s press release.

Winters: Alexander Vindman Served At Grad School Funded By Chinese Communist Group.
Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman served as a Senior Fellow at a graduate school receiving funds from and collaborating with a controversial Chinese Communist Party influence group flagged by the U.S. State Department for its efforts to infiltrate American politics, The National Pulse can reveal. Vindman, who testified during President Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial, served as a Senior Fellow at Johns Hopkins University’s Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) from September 2020 to August 2021. As a Foreign Policy Institute (FPI) Senior Fellow, Vindman also participated in several events promoting his book “Here, Right Matters” with SAIS during his fellowship. SAIS, however, has accepted funding from the China-United States Exchange Foundation (CUSEF) and sent its students on trips to China sponsored by the foreign influence group.

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA REGIME: TRANSFORMING AMERICA

AP: Mexican border shootings close US crossing after capo arrest
Gunfire and burning vehicles in the Mexican border city of Nuevo Laredo led U.S. officials to close the U.S. consulate there and briefly shut down close border crossings Monday. The gunfire erupted late Sunday after the arrest of a leader of one faction of the Northeast Cartel, the successor group to the old Zetas Cartel, Mexico’s most bloodthirsty gang. Suspected cartel members opened fire and hijacked and burned vehicles, apparently in retaliation for the arrest. U.S Customs and Border Protection said southbound traffic from Laredo, Texas, into Nuevo Laredo at the Juarez-Lincoln and Gateway to the Americas bridges was suspended, but re-opened early Monday morning.

Greenfield: Biden Tries to Cut a Deal to Spare 9/11 Mastermind the Death Penalty
Biden recently released Mohammed al-Qahtani, the 20th 9/11 hijacker, and Zuhail al-Sharabi, another hijacker for an expanded version of the 9/11 attacks from Guantanamo Bay, so it’s only fitting that he’s trying to cut a plea deal with the mastermind of the attacks. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the September 11 attacks, not to mention multiple other plots and acts of terror including the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center and the brutal murder of Daniel Pearl, was captured in March 2003. 19 years later the trial has yet to go anywhere. In 2008, the process of charging Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four others began. Unfortunately a year later, the pro-terrorist administration of Barack Hussein Obama took office. […]  The military court system, which was meant to expedite the trials and convictions of terrorists as enemy insurgents during wartime, not criminal defendants protected by the Constitution, has been corrupted and broken. It needs to be replaced. But that is not likely to happen until the next phase of the war against Islamic terrorism is underway. Meanwhile the political and cultural allies of the Islamists are running our government. Obama sabotaged the process of bringing Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to justice and now, just as with the Taliban and Iran, Biden is finishing the criminal betrayal that his boss began.

Greenfield: Biden Shields All Afghans He Illegally Brought Here From Deportation
As I discussed in my article on the ‘Afghan Adjustment Act’, Biden keeps trying to do an end-run around the rules for the Afghans he brought here. Despite the virtual lack of vetting, hundreds of the Afghan migrants are being flagged as security risks. 50 believed to be security risks were already released in this country and the majority of them are in the wind. Four have already been involved in sexual assault cases. Considering how much the Afghans have misbehaved in so little time, the refugee resettlement contractors are understandably worried that much more damaging information will come out after two years.
After lying to us about saving “interpreters”, and lying about the Afghans being carefully “vetted”, they’re trying to pull off the biggest scam yet by retroactively legalizing their illegal evacuation under the umbrella of an Afghan Adjustment Act which will shut down any further scrutiny.

Tapscott: PREDICTION: Pelosi Will Never Actually Reopen the U.S. Capitol
Before March 2020, the U.S. Capitol was a thriving, crowded, beautiful place to be, the very beating heart of the American republic. Citizens from all over the country could come and go, talk to their representatives and their staffs, gaze at the historic artwork and architecture that so distinguish the Capitol, and sit in the Senate and House galleries to watch their legislators conduct the nation’s business. […] The key word above is in the first sentence — “permit.” The precedent for permanently requiring prior permission to access the U.S. Capitol is about to be set. Can you guess who, ultimately, controls the permitting process? And note that the reopening’s first phase involves only student tours of Senate and House office buildings, not the Capitol itself. Unless you work in them, trust me, walking around the Dirksen and Longworth buildings is about as exciting as watching grass grow. Now let’s check out the other highlighted words. Take, for example, the reference to “secondary screening before arriving.” That’s to establish the permanent precedent of conducting background checks on every individual seeking to access the Capitol.

Henney: Fed raises interest rates for first time in 3 years, projects 6 more hikes as inflation soars
The widely anticipated move – that the Fed would raise rates by 25-basis points – brings to an end the ultra-easy monetary policy put in place two years ago to prop up the economy through the COVID-19 pandemic. The rate liftoff, which puts the benchmark federal funds rate at a range between 0.25% and 0.5%, is likely just the start of a series of increases.

Salter: How to Think about Inflation
Everything old is new again: Inflation plagues the US economy. The Consumer Price Index is up 7.9 percent from a year ago. The Personal Consumptions Expenditures index is up 6.1 percent from a year ago. We haven’t seen price pressures like these in 40 years. If we want to understand inflation, we need a framework to organize our thoughts. Economies are fiendishly complex; without a model that helps us focus on the relevant details, we’re lost in the woods. Inflation means a general increase in prices. Equivalently, it means the dollar is losing purchasing power. Economists distinguish general price changes from relative price changes. The latter comes from the forces of supply and demand operating in specific markets. The former is common to all markets.  We frequently use the concepts of aggregate demand and aggregate supply to analyze inflation. But despite the similarity in names, these concepts aren’t the same as microeconomic supply and demand. Aggregate demand refers to total nominal spending in the economy. Aggregate supply means general productive conditions.

Sundance: U.S. Retail Sales Collapse as Govt and Media Attempt Denial That Economy Is Contracting
When retail sales are calculated, they are calculated in dollars.  Any recorded increase in retail sales that does not exceed the price increases in those items is factually reflecting a drop in units sold. Ex. – if you sell 300 items at $1.00 each, you have $300 in sales.  If you sell 250 items at $1.25 each, you have $312.50 in sales.  Technically, you have a 4.1% increase in sales.  However, you have sold 17% less items (50 units). When you are selling less stuff, your business (economy) is contracting, not expanding.  We have been in this contracting cycle (an actual production recession) since May/June of last year; however, the contraction has not been recognized because massive inflation is hiding it.  That, my friends, is the painful truth and it spells big trouble ahead.

Sundance: Energy Secretary Admits White House Using Ukraine Crisis as “Urgent Moment” To Transition US to Clean Energy
Following the familiar pattern of never letting a crisis go to waste, the Biden administration has now admitted their intent, with the opportunity Ukraine represents, is to fundamentally change the U.S. energy program to Green New Deal objectives. As they did with the COVID crisis, it is not the actual crisis that matters, but the government response to the crisis.  That response is what triggers the fundamental change.  As noted by Keeler, “there is no reason a contained conflict on the edges of Europe should be fundamentally altering the global financial system. The hysterical overreaction is doing that, as it was intended to.” The same approach applies to oil and a totally new energy program. Jennifer Granholm claims . . .

Sundance: Joe Biden Says Every American Knows Someone Blackmailed by Intimate, Naked and Sexually Explicit Pictures
This is really weird folks, and not just the part I am highlighting here.   In a very creepy public presentation today by Joe Biden highlighting the extension of the ‘violence against women act‘, Biden went through the stages of shouting then whispering as he delivered remarks about abuse and exploitation based on gender. In part of his remarks, and trust me, the entire remarks were seriously disturbing, Joe Biden said, “I’ll bet everybody knows someone, somewhere along the line, that in an intimate relationship what happened was the guy takes a revealing picture of a naked friend, or whatever, in a compromising position, and then literally in a sense blackmails’ them or mortifies them.” Maybe it’s my own naiveté, but I don’t know a single person this would relate to.

Margolis: Joe Biden Is Trash: Ignores Question About Deaths of Americans in Ukraine
On Tuesday, following the signing of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2022, Joe Biden ignored Fox News White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich’s question about whether he had anything “to say about the death of Americans in Ukraine.” Three journalists had been in a vehicle struck by fire earlier in the day, claiming the lives of Fox News cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski, 55, and Ukrainian journalist Oleksandra Kuvshynova, who was just 24 years old. Fox News correspondent Benjamin Hall was seriously injured in the attack. Former New York Times journalist Brent Renaud, 50, was killed Sunday.
Yet Biden could muster the decency to say anything. Instead, he just ignored the question from Heinrich like a coward.

Winters: A Key Biden Defense Nominee Is Adam Schiff’s Aide Who Trained at Hunter Biden’s Think Tank, and Fell For A Russian Prank Offering Nudes of Trump.
Rheanne Wirkkala – recently tapped by President Joe Biden to advise Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin – appears to have been duped by a prank phone call offering compromising material on Donald Trump while working for her prior boss, Congressman Adam Schiff. Wirkkala, who is awaiting Senate confirmation for the role of Assistant Secretary for Legislative Affairs at the Pentagon, currently serves as the Special Assistant for Strategy to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. “In that role, Wirkkala helps drive Secretary Austin’s national defense priorities, and is responsible for long-term strategic planning for the Secretary of Defense,” explains the White House. Despite Wirkkala’s influential role in America’s military planning, the former top aide to Congressman Schiff appears to have fallen for a prank carried out by Russian comedians who offered to give the California congressman’s ‘compromising’ dirt on Donald Trump.

Newman: Putin, the Deep State and the New World Order in Ukraine War
While many conservatives have embraced Russian strongman Vladimir Putin as some sort of hero against the Deep State and its New World Order agenda, the facts show something much different, argues The New American magazine’s Alex Newman in this episode of Behind The Deep State. Instead, Putin, a longtime Communist “intelligence” and “security” operative, is closely connected to key agents and agendas of the Deep State, including following his friend and “close advisor” Henry Kissinger’s strategy for building global governance by creating regional governments as outlined in Kissinger’s book World Order. Even his alleged Christianity is suspect, Alex explains, pointing to the takeover of the Russian Orthodox Church by “former” KGB agents, Putin’s persecution of non-ROC Christians in Russia, and the strongman’s bizarre comments comparing Christianity and Communism. The Ukrainian government is also connected to these dangerous groups and agendas, a subject Alex plans to tackle in an upcoming episode.

Durden: North Korea Missile Test-Launch Ends In Disaster After Exploding During Booster Phase
A North Korean projectile exploded shortly after launch on Wednesday, Reuters reports, citing South Korea’s military. The suspected missile would have been the Kim Jong Un regime’s 10th launch this year. The missile was launched from the international airport in Sunanm near the capital of Pyongyang, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said in a statement. “It is presumed that it failed immediately after launch,” the statement said. JCS told Reuters the projectile was presumed to be a ballistic missile and exploded at a 12-mile altitude during its booster phase.

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. 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.
