In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.
“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”
“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

hmm.
Gas and food are not included in the government’s inflation data.
…
Heard on Dennis Prager’s radio show.
of course not.
Pretty sure those have been manipulated and/or omitted to some degree for several decades now.
Fluctuate too much.
Fuel is included, but the data we get this month is from July so it doesn’t reflect the jump over the last 4 weeks or so.
Food is included but is manipulated. They use alternatives or improvements. Fish for chicken if one goes up and the other goes down, as an example. Note: that is a very simple example but cuts to the meat of what they do…pun not intended
Bill Barr Stopped Bethpage Ballot Trafficking Investigation
interview with Harry Haury
https://creativedestructionmedia.com/video/2023/09/11/livestream-7pm-est-bill-barr-stopped-bethpage-ballot-trafficking-investigation/
AG BARR and FBI Director Wray had 170 Suspicious Activity Reports (SAR) from a dozen banks detailing almost $20 million in suspicious deposits from FOREIGN BANKS during the three years both Barr and Wray were in office.
Understand, that the banks employ retired IRS Agents in their Anti-Money Laundering Sections. These skilled accountants have the authority to obtain and trace those suspicious transactions to other banks doing the preliminary work for federal law enforcement and then create Excel Work Sheets with exhibits like wire transfers, deposits, checks, money orders and purchase contracts. All this is handed to federal law enforcement on a silver platter.
Why was AG BARR and FBI Director Wray protecting the Biden Crime Family for over three years? Why is Chris Wray still protecting Biden?
They are telling us that car prices did not increase for 15 years. Magic.

Looking at that graph reminded me of this list of graphs on prices and inflation.
WTF Happened in 1971?
https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/
Biden administration paid propagandist John Kirby says sending billions to Iran and 5 Iranians in exchange for 5 Americans is a swell deal. America will control how Iran will spends the money . They will spend it only on humanitarian aid. Iran begs to differ.
Kirby lies.
At the same time Obama and Biden paid Iran $400 million for 5 American hostages there were 12,000 Iranian students enrolled in American colleges, universities and medical schools.
Kind of a one-sided deal wouldn’t you say!

Iran rejects US limits on use of its unfrozen money
President Ebrahim Raisi has claimed Tehran will decide how to spend the $6 billion freed up under a prisoner-swap deal
https://www.rt.com/news/582874-iran-us-unfrozen-funds/
Iranian President Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi has argued that the US has no right to regulate Tehran’s use of $6 billion in oil funds that were unfrozen under a prisoner-exchange agreement between the countries.
“This money belongs to the Iranian people, the Iranian government, so the Islamic Republic of Iran will decide what to do with this money,” Raisi said on Tuesday in an NBC News interview. Asked whether the money will be used for humanitarian purposes, as demanded by Washington, he said, “Humanitarian means whatever the Iranian people need, so this money will be budgeted for those needs, and the needs of the Iranian people will be decided and determined by the Iranian government.”
Raisi’s interpretation of the prisoner-swap deal is clearly at odds with the views of US President Joe Biden’s administration. US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters on Tuesday that money will be held in Qatari banks and strictly monitored by the US Treasury Department to ensure that it’s used only for humanitarian purposes.
The prisoner exchange includes the release of five Americans who had been detained on espionage charges and five Iranians who had been jailed in the US for allegedly violating Washington’s sanctions against Tehran. The Biden administration also issued sanctions waivers to enable banks in South Korea to release $6 billion in frozen Iranian funds.

Just like Planned Parenthood “doesn’t spend taxpayer dollars on abortions.”
The money all goes in the same pot, but somehow they claim to THAT money will be magically fenced off.
It’s just a shell game.
car in California:
I have 2 relatives whose car had minor fender benders while parked in the street.
no one left the note.
When they took it to the insurance company to get an estimate for repairs,
The insurance company said the repair cost more than the vehicle was worth.
Both cars are drivable.
It was just some bumper and the driver’s front fender was damaged.
I have done those kind repairs , and helped my friends do theirs at home.
now, They had to buy their car back from the insurance company!
one is still waiting to know how much it’s going to cost to get his car back.
He can only get it back if he buys it for what it’s worth as a salvage vehicle ! !!
That’s how it’ll be registered with the motor vehicle department.
I’m old enough to remember when we usually get 3 estimates and then you choose whether you want to spend that much money or not.
Now they hold your car for Ransom until you buy it back.
I know that is crazy.
I wonder how many other states operate like this?
Wow!
Family member had a similar experience.
Her car is 18 years old, but well maintained and in excellent condition.
Rear ended. Trunk latch and rear bumper smashed in, but driveable.
Had the vehicle towed to a body shop because she wasn’t sure how bad the damage was and tail lights were broken, etc.
Insurance “totaled” the car and offered about $7000, but she didn’t have the money to buy a replacement vehicle and just wanted her car back.
Had to “buy” her car back as a salvage vehicle, my husband did the repair work and a few additional fixes and came out about even with the insurance settlement.
The whole process took multiple contacts with DMV to get temp permits to drive the car home, them drive to get an inspection to get it re-licensed.
Fun times.
Some years ago, a high school student hit my car because they weren’t paying attention. Rather than go through my insurance company which would have “cost” her because she did not have insurance, I agreed to do the repair myself. The next day, the girl’s mother called and wanted me to pay her $1000 for the damage to the girl’s car. I said absolutely not, that she had hit me and she knew she had caused the accident. In fact, by then, I had video of the accident and it was obvious that she was at fault.
Anyway, I did the work to repair the car, had some help from an auto parts shop owner who told me what to do and what products to use. It was way easier than going through an insurance company.
I don’t even understand what you mean by “buy the car back”? Did they sell the car to the insurance company? How can you buy something back that you already own?
Once the insurance company declared the car was totalled, the options were to accept the payout, at which point the car belonged to the insurance company, or pay the towing, repair estimate, and take the car back home.
The insurance company gets money from the salvage yard, so that amount had to be reimbursed to the insurance company. Basically, it was deducted from the settlement. I believe in this case it was $200.
The insurance co. writes you a check for the “totaled” value of the car … and now they own the car. They’ve paid you for it. You don’t get to keep the car AND the payment of its value.
But of course the “salvaged” value is far lower that the REAL value of the car … so the insurance co. is getting over on you.
And yes, in order to re-register the “salvaged” car … you have to get a DMV inspection. Very rudimentary inspection. But the Title is forever tainted as a “salvaged” vehicle.
Buyback is often a way out of these problems. I had a sedan that got hit in the drivers door. It was still drivable so no towing. Insurance company said it was a total loss (A pillar damage) and offered me about $5K as total loss. Finding anything even close to replace it was going to be over $10K. So, it was going to cost me more than $5K just to get back into the same vehicle.
If the insurance company kept it they would auction it with a salvage title. I asked if I could buy it from them and they asked for $2K. So they gave me a check for $3K, I kept the car with a clean title.
I called a car auction, they picked it up, and auctioned it for a flat fee with a clear title. I got a check from auction house for about $7K. With ins company’s $3K for damages, I was able to replace the car.
I think the same may have happened recently to a dear friend, whose wife hit a deer and they lost their nice SUV after it was totaled for next to no damage. Somebody made out on the deal, but not them.
He’s blind. It left them in a bad way.
I’ll remember this, and am blessed to know a good neighbor with a towbar and a flatbed trailer, but the same cannot be said for most people, which puts them at the mercy of what looks like a heartlessly predatory business arrangement.
I have my daughters salvaged car in my driveway … it’s a 1991 BMW 325i manual transmission. I had to challenge the insurance company by hiring an independent appraiser who proved the car was NOT a “salvage” but that the repairs did NOT exceed the value of the car. The insurance co. still refused and called it a salvage. So I repaired it and the car is now worth at least DOUBLE what the insurance co. said it was worth in about 2007. It’s an awesome little car … a kick in the pants to drive. And I personally installed Bilstein Sport shocks … and the car holds a corner at any speed I choose. Careful Kenji!
Government mandated insurance is a racket.
They wanted to total my 4Runner that was rear ended. Teenager was shifting into 2nd as she drove under bumper.
I worked with repair shop and they were able to replace the expensive stock parts with the stronger aftermarket parts.
They were able to reduce the repair costs enough to prevent insurance totaling it, and I was able to get the nice tube bumper I’d been wanting. I just had to sign off on replacing oem with the replacement parts.
The repair company was salivating over my truck being totaled, so they could buy it at the salvage price and either flip or keep a great car. So be careful about the repair place inflating the repair bill.
Things might have changed since my experience.
You are missing a piece. The now-insurance company owned car can be parted out for much more than they paid you for it.
In Opposite-World now the whole is less than the sum of the parts
Not sure about other states…but I can tell you in Mexico the insurance companies own the body shops. Prices are unbelievably inexpensive. And fair. We got in an accident awhile back. Nothing serious. When one has an accident you park the car right there. Don’t move. Wait fir the policies and insurance adjusters. The damage is calculated on the spot. You have a choice of them fix8 the car or take the cash. We had the money in our bank account within 24 hours.
Viva Mexico
In Nevada there is a provision in the law that just because an insurance company declares a car totaled the owner of the vehicle has the option to make the insurance company pay for the repairs and reject the declaration the vehicle being totaled. Of course, the vehicle has to be repairable within a reasonable amount, not like it’s completely crushed and the repairs would cost more than buying a new one.
That happened to my vehicle and the amount of money the insurance company wanted to offer wasn’t worth the paper the check would have been written on so I told them no, fix it, and then, also a provision, the owner gets to tell the insurance company what repair shop will be used.
Wish I could remember the exact provisions, but that happened back in 2000 and I’m still driving that vehicle. Wonder if California has a similar option for vehicle owners when it comes to their insurance companies; I know our company never told us about that option, had to look it up ourselves.
Was a lifer in CA, had someone take out a diesel pickup a few years back I’d bought new 30+ years ago, CSAA totalled it, gave me a four grand check, I bought it back for 400, never got the salvage title, kept my original one, ANU’d it (affidavit of non-use), and it’s sitting out in front of my place in Oregon, towed there by its twin, where it’ll start life anew there with a fresh title and restoration.
In resistance actions identical twins can be easily passed for each other, if necessary. No one cares about decades old diesel pickups. What OSP is going to look at a VIN on a frame rail or door pillar in casual contact?
Adapt and overcome. Oh, and screw CA. Smiled on my way out of that hell hole the last time out last Sunday. Good riddance.
Once one makes the decision to fight the Communists and their collaborators, life gets easier. Resist 🙂
I think Obama cash for clunkers was about baiting people to give up good long term and reliable automobiles, that can be maintained. For new, expensive, traceable transportation, that is cost prohibitive and very limited on fixing.
Cash for Clunkers (C4C) included a lot of non-clunkers. My neighbor, for instance, takes immaculate care of her stuff. She “clunked” a vehicle nicer than most cars I’ve owned. Financially, it made sense to her, but it made me sad. I’m thankful I bought my used car shortly before C4C was announced, since the supply of used cars declined, and prices for same went up sharply afterwards.
“the supply of used cars declined, and prices for same went up sharply”
Seems to fit the “Agenda” quite well. They have been playing a long game.
You betcha.
Cash for Clunkers: Yet Another Way Government Increased the Cost of Living
03/18/2019
Joseph F. Becker
https://mises.org/wire/cash-clunkers-yet-another-way-government-increased-cost-living
President Obama’s Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS), more popularly known as “Cash for Clunkers,” is now a decade old.
For those with short memories or those utilizing the healthy defense mechanism of repression, CARS, enacted by Congress in the summer of 2009, was a Keynesian-inspired stimulus package consisting of a $3,500 or $4,500 subsidy to those willing to part with their inefficient used vehicles and “trade” them for newly manufactured cars and trucks with better mileage ratings. Congress initially appropriated $1 billion for what was to be a five month program, both to stimulate new car sales and supposedly improve air quality. Because the initial $1 billion was exhausted in a matter of days, Congress appropriated another $2 billion, the balance of which ran out well short of the five month stimulus period. Per the legislation, all vehicles traded in were immediately made inoperable and junked, their engines frozen with sodium silica.
Not surprisingly, this interventionist program was a massive policy failure for several very predictable reasons.
First, no economy is made better off by destroying existing resources. Contrary to conventional myth, production of soon-to-be-destroyed-war-goods during World War II did not propel the United States out of the throes of the Great Depression — and neither did euthanizing 690,114 operational vehicles “jump start” the U.S. auto industry in 2009. Both endeavors merely redirected resources to manufacturing sectors out of touch with genuine consumer demand.
Bastiat’s “broken window fallacy” demonstrates how society is never made better off by destroying goods. In the case of the automobile market, instead of having hundreds of thousands of operational used cars with some market worth, we have government-engendered malinvestment in the production of new vehicles not genuinely demanded by consumers. The average age of a used light vehicle on the road today is 11.6 years, versus 10.5 in 2009. Does it make economic sense to call for cars more than a decade old to be destroyed today? My own household would lose two perfectly good vehicles and incur much higher new car and insurance payments.

Gee, why the sudden shortage of used cars?
05/09/2011
Jeffrey A. Tucker
https://mises.org/wire/gee-why-sudden-shortage-used-cars
The WSJ reports that used car prices are soaring. “The price of used cars is just crazy right now,” said Adam Lee, chairman of Maine dealer Lee Auto Malls. His dealership is paying hefty sums for cars it normally might not purchase to have a full inventory. “It can be a piece of junk—cars we used to pay $2,000 or $2,500 for, we are now paying $5,200 to $5,500,” Mr. Lee said.
The WSJ story meanders around for a cause but never mentions Cash for Clunkers, the most cockamamie scheme for deliberate destruction in our time. Some 600,000 cars were destroyed after being bought by the government, for a total per taxpayer expenditure of $24,000 each. Then we wonder why used car prices soar!
Automatic transmissions can be rebuilt, indefinetly IF YOU HAVE THE CORES.
The price of rebuilt transmissions went WAY up, after C4C’s, because all of those cores were sent to China, melted down, etc.
As I have always owned “older vehicles” I hate C4c’S.
Not crazy about “Insurance” either.
I’m the proud owner of a ’90 VW Cabriolet and a ’91 Dodge MaxiWagon.
Traceable to the point it can be controlled by any remote computer. Speed controlled (remember the Toyotas that were speeding)? Now they can be stopped, turned, or crashed into things remotely. No one steals a Tesla.
That is simply not true. Well….maybe cars did not…but trucks did.
Reports he is not making an emotional connection. When do DeMeatball’s fake tears start to flow? For sure as bizarre as his fake smile.
I have 3 older vehicles, low mileage. I was thinking about selling one, but i have decided to keep it as a spare.
I will probably never buy a new vehicle again.
Joe, is that you??
Bidens getting impeached time for another distraction
Yeah there’s been an alien invasion alright … and the TX Gov. has done NOTHING about it.
ET Phone home…wait sorry wrong movie or is this a sequel cuz that looks like
ET..
That was the first thing I said! It’s amazing how these aliens look just like the ones in movies!
Abbott is a bushie and beholden to his donors who support illegal aliens.
Au contraire, Kenji!
He declared an invasion, SO THAT he could send MORE NG troops to the border, to assist the border patrol in handing out diapers, and signing the invaders up for free stuff.
Where’s the weepy talk show guy with teddy bears? What better way to greet the 22yo Somali … “children” at our border?
At least he did not order the invasion like the resident did.
I can’t find a cite, but on WARROOM this morning Laura Loomer was telling about her new mini-documentaries, one each week and provided free of charge, exploring the people who were involved in January 6. She said this exploration began when she heard about the death of Roseanne Boyland and was shocked that she had never heard of her and had no idea who she was.
From there the series expands out to many of the others present that day, who they are, why they came, what they did that day, and what has been done to them.
I think this is such a huge story that needs to be finally told by an honest journalist that weekly mini-documentaries is perfect.
I think you meant Lara Logan. Good interview.
Thank you for the assist! That helped a lot:

Cara Castronuevo has also been doing steller work, supporting the J6 prisoners, from day one.
As have Julie Kelly of AmGreatness and Darren Beattie of REVOLVER.NEWS.
There really ARE a whole army of Patriots, standing up alongside PDJT, and “standing in there way”.
And, think of this: enough reports have confirmed the obvious;
Prosecutors have been pressuring every one of the 600+ J6 defendants, on lenient treatment if they would just give the Prosecutors a statement, saying they committed their crimes because they thought PDJT TOLD them to.
Not ONE has capitulated, ALL have withstood the pressure, and refused the “offer”.
Romney not running for reelection. Charle Kirk says he may run for President..
No Labels Party..
No morals Party.

Hard to imagine he could draw any America First voters.
Like Pence…
The only thing he can draw are flies.
No, that’s Pence.
‘Romney not running for reelection.’
Headed out to buy champagne and reefer.
YAYYYYYY!!!!!
That’s a Muddy Waters song!
A little too racy for Mitt’s taste.
So he’s not invited to my party. 🙂
Champagne & Reefer · Muddy Waters
He would need an assist from Dominion to win again in Utah.
He would have tough competition from Trent Skaggs: https://www.breitbart.com/2024-election/2023/08/05/exclusive-so-out-of-touch-utah-gop-senate-candidate-trent-staggs-slams-establishment-gops-mitt-romney/
well, we all need a good laugh, don’t we?
Now that would be plain dumb. He has no more chance than Pence or Christie of getting even near 15% of the vote from republicans. Wouldn’t put it past him though, to run. Yuck..
Money laundering in the donor cash – for votes he took when they needed him to stab MAGA.
Romney was born in Mexico!
Romney/Pence.
Romney/Christie.
Kristie Noem was smart to endorse Trump early.The turncoats do not see the writing on the wall.She may be no good for VP, but she is an early supporter when Trump is being hounded by the devils of hell.
Probably Manchin/Romney independent ticket. Anything to drain the actual independent voters away from MAGA in order to keep FJB as resident.
As Pierre Delecto, who doesn’t have as bad of negatives as Mittens. The press will never figure it out.
Hahahahahahahah
Let me guess, Paulie Numnuts Ryano for VP ?
Is America Destined to Fall Like Rome? | Victor Davis Hanson
13 Sep 2023
Victor Davis Hanson explores the striking similarities between ancient Rome and modern America in this thought-provoking video. Including the parallels between these two great civilizations and the lessons we can learn from history.
He’s not credible; just ignore what he says – why believe anything from a person who believes the election was not stolen or rigged.
My thoughts exactly!!
And on the fall of Rome and other Empires, I’ve always wondered whether the oligarchs at the top of the empire just moved from one Empire to the next. I think some researchers have said that these bankers moved from Venice to Amsterdam, and then to London to set up their base of operations.
Yup, they feed long enough to kill the host, then move onto the next victime
Yes, I believe that’s how it works. Much of our history is false–you really need a follow-the-money approach to history.
Bankers have ALWAYS been Globullists, with NO loyalty to any country or ideology.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be.
LOL! That’s a hilarious reason to ignore EVERYTHING else someone say because they disagree with you on ONE topic. That’s what the left does. If you aren’t ideologically pure, you aren’t listened to.
Everything he says in that video is a valid comparison from his knowledge of history.
I understand your point but this speaks to his credibility. This isn’t just one topic. This is one HUGE topic that if he can’t get that right, it should pretty much call into question anything else he has to say.
Comparisons to the Fall of Rome are naturally becoming more common, but here’s an author who believes it better reflects the events in Spain:
https://compactmag.com/article/spain-s-lessons-for-american-decline
Since virtually EVERY empire in recorded history has endured a decline and fall, it’s not exactly a brilliant conclusion to presume the American empire must as well.
We were discussing the USA/Roman Empire comparisons back in high school in the late ’60s. They used to offer “Western Civilization” as an elective in those days. The accompanying joke at the time was about Gandhi, who when asked what he thought about western civilization replied, “Sounds like a good idea.”
EVERY Civilisation has eventually declined and disappeared.
Archeologists, who study civilisations agree it is inevitable; its inherent in the nature OF Civilisations, like a built in expiration date.
And, it IS possible that what we are seeing, isn’t JUST a decline of America, but is the collapse of our current Global civilisation.
I’ve been thinking about that letter, signed by 51 previous and current intelligence and military officials.
It seems to me if you sign something you know to be false, as part of a choreographed election interference for purely political purposes, that should be cause to lose your position, your medals, your honorariums, your pension, everything government related.
Read what they actually signed onto.
It was “billed” or pushed by the MSM as them SAYING the Hunter laptop WAS Russia disinfo.
However, what they ACTUALLY signed onto, was that it “had all the classic hallmarks of being” Russian disinfo.
In other words, they gave themselves an “out” while giving the MSM wriggle room to “spin”.
They aren’t STUPID, and “they didn’t LIE”.
At this point, anything the government says has all the classic hallmarks of being Russian disinformation.
They lied. It had NO signs of being Russian anything.
And they didn’t even see the evidence. Which includes another lie. They couldn’t know.
Now the people who put those lies together knew fully well that they were recruiting lies to save Joe’s corrupt ass.
Plausible deniability … the catchphrase of a dying Empire (see VDH above)
All the more reason these so called “Professionals” should be excoriated.
Oh. I thought you wrote “executed”. Can I remove my thumbs up?
Yep. It’s how lawyers play the game. It all depends on what the definition of “is” … is.
the only way ANY of these traitors face any justice is if the people drag them into the streets and do it themselves.
There is a judgement that awaits these people.
They will wish that they could be shot in the street rather than face The Lord’s wrath.
Not necessarily. Getting shot in the street just delivers them to the Lord’s wrath quicker.
Well isn’t it RICO? One of them was calling people and discussing it – didn’t he actually say that it would help Biden? It’s a conspiracy. HAhahahahaha
How about ELIMINATING their access to highly classified data … NOW … in REAL TIME. Half these extremist partisan FOOLS are still logged-into ALL our sensitive defense computers. Get them OUT! Now !!!
https://www.theepochtimes.com/health/fda-panel-announces-oral-phenylephrine-doesnt-work-here-are-the-alternatives-5490505?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=TheLibertyDaily&src_src=partner&src_cmp=TheLibertyDaily
FTA “When used as an oral decongestant, phenylephrine, a common ingredients in over-the counter cold medicines, is ineffective, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration unanimously ruled after a two-day review.
Should the FDA officials follow the recommendation of the advisory panel to pull phenylephrine’s GRASE (generally recognized as safe and effective) designation, drugs that include it, such as Sudafed PE, Mucinex Sinus-Max, Benadryl Allergy Plus Congestion, and Tylenol Cold+Head, may become unavailable. Manufacturers may choose to reformulate medications that include phenylephrine, a move that may bring significant financial burdens.”
All this means to me is that Gigantic Pharma isn’t making any money now that this drug is OTC! The key word is “reformulate” with a new drug that Gigantic Pharma has that is now under patent so they can screw We The People with a new drug that doesn’t work like the “vaccines” at a much higher price!!! But then I’m extremely cynical when comes to the medical community and Gigantic Pharma!!! JMO
Saw this headline today. To me that means go stock up on these drugs at the store. There is about to be a big money grab. If they didn’t work they wouldn’t sell. I’ve used them and my symptoms go away during the day. This is such a scam. Market speaks for itself. IF IT DIDNT WORK PEOPLE WOULD NOT CONTINUE TO PURCHASE THEM.
In VA you need to provide your driver’s license IOT purchase this product. It’s tracked. Individuals are only allowed to purchase so much a week. Imporssible to stock up as an individual.
Phenylephrine replaced pseudoephedrine which was highly effective for many related symptoms. So, the obvious alterative is pseudoephedrine. The medications that now contain phenylephrine could just start using pseudoephedrine. But, by now, we all know the FDA only pretends to care about our health. There’s gotta be more to the story to be found in the methamphetamine connection…..
“Phenylephrine became the common ingredient in OTC decongestants after a 2006 law restricted pseudoephedrine sales to behind pharmacy counters to combat methamphetamine production.”
A government flooding our nations streets with fentanyl and doing nothing to curb its devastation, wants to protect us from homemade meth? I don’t think so.
Isn’t pseudoephedrine the antihistamine part of the deal? That’s still available. The decongestant part is what’s being removed. Not sure why they are removing it but it must have to do with money somehow.
Pseudoephedrine and ephedrine both actually work. I remember the change and the new formulation doing nothing. Took them long enough.
Make a hot toddy
That really does work.
There are also homeopathic remedies and herbal supplements that truly do help.
Think outside the box.
It was a poor replacement for the real Sudafed-pseudoephedrine and never worked well for me.
They make you sign to get the pseudoephedrine and wait in line, which can be long at times.
If meth wasn’t such a problem, we’d still be able to buy it on the shelves. I’m not sure how big a dent it makes on the meth market having a porous border and all…
Try Xlear nose spray- it’s safe to use frequently and works really well. They are basically natural and had one variety with pepper (capsicum) in it that really opened up the sinuses!
Love Xlear.
Kills covid virus, but the company is not allowed to advertise as such because..
I recently found that Tom’s toothpaste and mouthwash also contain Xylitol which is, apparently, the ingredient in Xlear that does kill the covid virus;
so have their Xlear nasal spray, their sinus rinse and now Tom’s toothpaste and mouthwash.
The original Benadryl’s active ingredient is diphenhydramine. This version of plain Benadryl is still sold and is not being considered for termination.
I have an allergy that arrives like clockwork on June 1st and used to last for 3 – 4 weeks. Benadryl was the only OTC antihistamine that would stop the symptoms completely. The sedative effects were a real burden. I tried every OTC antihistamine I could find and my experience was that any antihistamine with phenylephrine was 100% worthless.
I always ended up using regular Benadryl and drinking lots of coffee, which wasn’t so bad.
Eternal salvation came when NasalCrom became available OTC!
ZzzQuil active ingredient is also diphenhydramine. I have all types of allergies and keep it handy as one dose cap is 50 mg compared to 25mg for the pills; they have it as sugar and alcohol free available too. Someone said years ago liquid gets digested faster than the pill form. Not sure if that’s true, but it works for me. Like you, the drowsy effect is not fun so have to re-arrange the day when an allergy kicks in.
Had a recent outbreak of hives from some unknown allergen and while the doctor also prescribed a steroid for quick action she also said to do a daily dose of OTC Zyrtec and Pepcid AC for a week. I had no idea Pepcid is also in the antihistamine category.
Turns out the friend I was taking care of while her family was out of town was using some sort of ointment that had cannabis oil in it. Everything she touched in her house had residue of that stuff. Of course, anything with cannabis in it is one of the allergies I have; it’s in the same family as cilantro. Weird having allergies, being extremely careful to not eat or touch anything that sets them off only to find some new thing to be wary of.
Used to have one of those Epi-pens until the g-dang federal government required that people have to purchase two, can’t just get one and they’re only good for one year, couldn’t see paying $200 a year for something I actually never used. These politicians getting in the way of actual doctors is dangerous.
Stay well.
Pepcid also relieves covid symptoms.

Benedryl (diphenhidramine) as well.
Just heard on the Radio that Mitt Romney is NOT for re-election. Citing age as the reason. Said he would be in mid 80’s during that term. And that it’s time for a new Generation.. Was he sending a message to his ole Leader Mitch McConnell. Hahahaha!
Poor Mittens … he’s all RINO’d out.
He served his purpose.
he’s made his millions.
New book coming out…$$$$
Don’t care the reason…..having this absolute detestable fraud out of the Senate is a good thing.
One would think Utah can find a better alternative…..but keep a close eye out — the Uniparty will want to have a Romney clone run for the seat.
Excellent candidate for us Utahns to vote for: https://www.breitbart.com/2024-election/2023/08/05/exclusive-so-out-of-touch-utah-gop-senate-candidate-trent-staggs-slams-establishment-gops-mitt-romney/

In any realm of possibilities, how would it be possible to “defame” Hunter Biden?
By calling him an honest, upstanding individual? LOL
A first class artist, on a par with reinoir? lol…
Here is what a “conservative republican”from Colorado believes about impeaching Joe Biden:
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/09/gop-rep-ken-buck-slams-marjorie-taylor-greenes/
A “Conservative Republican” installed the dominion voting system in Colorado. Tina Peters is at home on house arrest for revealing crimes perpetrated on those machines. The people who tried to unseat the GOPe from control of Elpaso county had lawsuits brought against them, and threats of criminal charges.
Colorado is the place to see clearly that Republican just means Democrat lite..
Not even Democrat lite. Just a Democrat pretending to belong to the other Corporation controlling our ‘elections’.
Its a cartel, a political monopoly where there is no competition.
Finally, even the liberal useful idiots are beginning to see it.
Cartels work for YEARS,….right up until they don’t.
i called his dc office friday and a co. office today.
Doug Lamborne’s office won’t respond to anything about impeachment..
should have made one for the barf bag. This is the White House Press Room.
Sorry respect is earned it’s not given for free for just having a title like Senator or any other title and Pierre Delecto hasn’t earned it!!! But he has righteously earned the boos!!!
PDJT on Truth – spreads good news that Mitt Romney ( aka Pierre Delecto ) is not going to run for reelection – one and done -And mentions Pierre faced a tough primary , which I didn’t know about – so goodby and good riddance to Pierre DeRat …
🤣 🤣 🤣
That’s good/ quick / and soooo accurate , had to look twice though to catch it 😂
BTW – on RCP good article by John Kass on Chicago’s new mayor , Brandon Johnson . I used to read Kass’ columns in Chicago Tribune – he was sort of Chicago’s version of Michael Goodwin of NY Post – a gadfly type – He was forced out after 38 years at Paper in 2020 – he was hitting the target too often apparently and he was “cancelled “ as the saying goes now
Sorry can’t post article ( Kass now writing independently /freelance apparently)- but summary is Mayor Johnson is a blue city mayor through and through and while watching Chicago being run into the ground through crime and illegal immigration etc just plays one card – the race card , and according to Kass , that is the only card in his deck and he plays it over and over …and meanwhile Chicago is going to Hell in a handbasket as the saying goes ..
Brandon Johnson was elected for his racial philosophy. He was a social studies teacher with a BA and MA degree from a college that takes most applicants. He was elected as a Cook County Commissioner. As commissioner, he was the chief sponsor of the Just Housing Ordinance, which amended the county’s housing ordinance by prohibiting potential landlords or property owners from asking about or considering prospective tenants’ or homebuyers’ criminal history…..LOL!
He was a Chicago Teachers’ Union organizer, a progressive activist.
He has no experience in city government, no experience of running a city, no experience with any branch of the mayor’s office, has no idea of government process. The only thing he can do is promote racism, give photo-ops, and blame other people for his own incompetence.
Sounds like NYC mayor
Probably Worse , if you can believe it , but when you get to the F and the F minus grading categories it doesn’t really make much difference …
Interesting KL case, just heard by the 9th circuit.
KL and Mark Fitchem filed suit, BEFORE the election, challenging the machines, alleging they created many areas for ballot fraud, and it was dismissed, this PRIOR to the election.
Then, we HAD the election, which confirmed EVERYTHING KL and Fitchem alleged in their suit.
The 9th circuit heard the request to overturn the Judges ruling.
Its fairly possible, the 9th COULD overturn the Judges dismissal, and order the case to be heard.
With “what we know now” the case, reheard is a ‘slam dunk’ as events confirm EVERYTHING alleged by plaintiffs.
There are 2 OTHER KL cases, also being heard on appeal this week.
I know people are highly sceptical of “the Courts” but I remain cautiously optimistic,…this one case could blow the machines out of the water.
It would be difficult at this point to argue that Lake and Finchem do not have “standing.”
It would also be difficult to argue that their concerns about the tabulator were not valid.
President Trump made some headway in evening out the political leanings of the 9th circuit.
If any of Kari Lake’s appeals is upheld, we would have a huge breakthrough in a long battle.
The “standing” issue for KL in her main suit, has already been resolved in her favor, so thats not an issue.
This same 9th Circuit recently overruled this SAME AZ Judge, on a different election related matter.
In the aftermath of the 2022 election, the County Recorder election thief barred TGP reporter from press conferences, saying he was not a “legitimate” reporter.
TGP Sued, this Judge upheld, TGP appealed, and 9th circuit overturned.
So, some reason for optimism.
May the Lord strike that building with a thunderbolt.
https://texasscorecard.com/local/dallas-church-to-host-drag-show/
That ain’t a Church anymore..
Probably never was…C.R.
Interesting part of their history:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathedral_of_Hope_(Dallas)
“In late 1990, MCC-Dallas became the Cathedral of Hope MCC to reflect a new broader mission to reach out LGBT people everywhere with a message of hope. The church began its “Pink-Period” quest to build a larger church to accommodate a growing congregation. This new home was completed in 1992. That same year, the Christmas Eve service was broadcast on CNN. The congregation now approached 1,000 members. During 1993 the cathedral grows by a record 300 members.
“The Cathedral of Hope in 1995 commissioned the prominent architect Philip Johnson to design a new cathedral campus.
“Membership grew to over 2,300 by 1998 and the cathedral served a rapidly growing congregation of more than 3,000. In 1999, CoH-TV begins hosting live Internet worship services via the cathedral’s website.”
What a shock that “broader outreach” may not have brought about spiritual transformations consistent with Scripture as much as people staying where they were in their professed identities, while the church (sic) may seem to be the one changed (while the numbers reportedly grew and certain people may have gotten paid accordingly).
2 Timothy 4:2-5
“Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.”
So, our little rural church we attend is Methodist. About 20-30 folks each Sunday. Methodists have their pastor rotation every 2-3 years. Methodism is one of the many going thru the “vote” regarding the “woke” agenda. At the district level, it seems the vote for churches yes or no has been postponed I guess as things are “worked out” at the district level. It seems it has become the vote is a vote to opt out. Kind of a default yes, unless voted, no.
We have only been to church a few times since the new pastor lady came in mid July. Kids, summer stuff, start of school, etc. We are actually not members. We’ve been going there a few years and started going during the last few months of wifes dad’s life. Anyway, nice small church. Wife and her sister know folks who go there, etc.
So, the latest little dust up is new pastor was trying to avoid the, “opt out” vote and thus the church automatically, “in” if they were past the deadline.
Interestingly, the vote (as I noted above) was delayed until the new pastor rotation. But, the church had its discussions about the issue. Thus, the church probable leaning was known. Opt out.
So, I wonder if discussions were held in churches in the district and the leanings of the congregation were determined. Then wayward churches were then sent more liberal pastors to “facilitate” a “correct” vote or get the church past the deadline to opt out?
And I wonder if this little trick is being done throughout Methodism.
Interestingly, a Presbyterian church we went to in south georgia for awhile had the vote 2 decades ago and joined a more conservative branch. Maybe way back then the getting out (and keeping the building) was easier.
Oh, I am much more hardcore than you.
IMO any church that would even consider substituting the woke agenda in place of clear-eyed integrated text “whole Bible” study of scripture has probably already given up spiritually.
I am convinced that serious churches should not acquiesce to having female lead pastors imposed upon them. The women in the church might be happy with a woman in the pulpit. However, the men in the church probably need to have a strong male leader who will challenge them. Men need male role models and comrades in order to grow and become their best.
Here’s my favorite Bible study resource. There are others too. This man started in children’s ministry and has an education degree. He keeps complex teachings simple. The church he leads is in a suburb of Portland.
https://atheycreek.com/teachings/books
They all push the woke agenda in one form or another just like they’ve all pushed the feminist agenda for decades. Organized religion does what the government tells it to do. They just present the message differently in supposedly “conservative” churches. Men who want to be traditionally masculine would do well to avoid churches.
Not all churches are woke.
Thankfully, we have the internet and can look around.
Check out “Plain Spoken” YouTube channel, lot of inside baseball on Methodist disaffiliation.
Don’t feel bad across denominations the same fight is occurring, with similar characters.
The sheep know their Shepherd.
That monstrosity has some bells in it. Would they ring when the lord sends the lightening strike?
Wonder if this is on the program, or if it is the message the pastor is sending:
The only thing Mitten ever ran was the Pierre Delecto Fan Club, and that wasn’t very many

How to Protect the 2024 Election
States must make key reforms to defend against election subversion.
https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/how-protect-2024-election
–Captain K.
Mass Psychosis.
Re: https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/how-protect-2024-election
It’s like a parallel universe where everything is backwards. Here’s my take on the evil Brennan:
From the article:
“Georgia, whose data systems were breached by insiders sympathetic to Trump, must implement best practices for preventing, detecting, and confirming similar breaches in the future.”
Translation: Somehow, the Trump people found out that we manipulated the vote machines. Make sure no one connected with the machines has any connection to Trump or conservative Republicans.
From the article:
“Arizona needs to prohibit partisan interference in the vote-counting process.”
Translation: No Republicans or Trump voters should be involved in counting or watching the count of any votes in Arizona. (They stole this state from Trump) Only Dems and RINOS please.
From the article:
Pennsylvania should clarify its laws so that mail ballots with minor bureaucratic errors can be cured and rightfully counted.
Translation: Take away those pesky laws about signature-checking and verifying that the voter on the mail-in ballot is the real voter.
From the article:
Wisconsin should allow election officials to begin processing absentee and mail ballots before Election Day to prevent another “red mirage” — the false impression that a Republican has won on Election Day, later reversed as mail ballots are counted in the ensuing days — which undermines confidence in the count.
Translation: Wisconsin must start counting the dodgy mail-ballots before election day so that real polls and exit polls don’t contradict our dirty ballots and raise enough suspicion to legally challenge the vote. (Oh, and we know that the polls will trend GOP despite our own crooked pollsters, because that is the real voter sentiment. We are not worried about any “blue wave” sentiment.)
From the article:
Nevada must work to train its new election officials, as a generation of experienced workers left the field following threats of violence and political interference.
Translation: Get the stupid and the biased out there and train them that the American people have no rights in their own elections. Also tell them there might be some harsh words and the desire to double-check the vote.
From the article:
Even Michigan, which has made significant strides toward preventing another 2020, can do more, including banning firearms at polling places, drop boxes, and counting facilities.
Translation: Even though we have Comrade Gretchen running Michigan into the ground for us, we must push her further to deny citizens their Second Amendment rights, while scaring our loyal poll workers that conservative Americans are dangerous and out to kill them. Never lose an opportunity to catapult the propaganda!
From the article:
Of the many tasks ahead, states must find a way to count ballots as early in the process as possible. Wisconsin and Pennsylvania must change their laws so clerks don’t have to wait until Election Day, a critical reform to deprive conspiracy theories of kindling.
Translation: Wisconsin and Pennsylvania must change their good and protective laws so that we can start screwing with the ballots as early as possible and create the mirage that Democrats are winning so no one will question us. We are conspirators one and all, but we don’t want anyone to see what we are doing.
This is the jist.
BREAKING: Mitt Romney says he will not seek another term in the US Senate.
on to raid bed bath & beyond.
.
Oh, the bane of it all . . .
I see what you did there 😅😅😅
Bain Capital!
Capital idea!
Doesn’t mean the uniparty, unable to stop Trump, won’t try and run him independent to split votes.
In the new lawless America, is he seeking permanent appointment to the Senate ?
Dems are getting worried now that Trumps numbers are through the roof. The fraudulent indictments have been seen for what they are by the American people.
Mitt Romney announces he will NOT run for re-election
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/mitt-romney-says-he-will-not-seek-a-second-term-in-the-senate/ar-AA1gFGW2
no doubt it’s because he knows he has no chance of winning. See Ya, loser!
I seem to recall in the primary he beat out a die-hard MAGA candidate with an excellent chance of winning the general. Then Romney belatedly decides he’s enough of a Utah-an to throw his hat in the ring, and mess up the Senate for us.
Wish he hadn’t run the last time; I expect he’s really not running because even with Dominion he couldn’t get re-elected.
He’s running to hide in his bolt-hole, as he knows Retribution is coming, and he has a bullseye painted on his forehead.
Trust Sessions.
Party time!!
Vulture Capitalist…he’ll be on K-Street shortly.
More Calls for Biden to Drop Out-
CIA’s influence peddler and Washington Post columnist David Ignatius is the latest establishment voice to warn of a likely defeat of Biden should he decide to keep running:
President Biden should not run again in 2024
Like the Economist writers Ignatius is as friendly to Democrats as they come. The CIA and FBI had both intervened after the election of Donald Trump. They launched Russiagate, a series of fake stories, to hamper Trump’s ability to govern and to get Biden elected. That its senior management has commissioned Ignatius to call on Biden to give up can be understood as a warning.
Ignatius names two points that put Biden’s reelection into jeopardy:
Biden would carry two big liabilities into a 2024 campaign. He would be 82 when he began a second term. According to a recent AP poll, 77 percent of the public, including 69 percent of Democrats, think he’s too old to be effective for four more years.
Because of their concerns about Biden’s age, voters would sensibly focus on his presumptive running mate, Harris. She is less popular than Biden, with a 39.5 percent approval rating, according to polling. Biden at least should get rid of Harris who is a bit of a millstone to popularity:
Biden could encourage a more open vice-presidential selection process that could produce a stronger running mate.
Ignatius goes on to ask Biden to step down and to immediately announce that he will not be available for another round:
Biden has never been good at saying no. He should have resisted the choice of Harris, who was a colleague of his beloved son Beau when they were both state attorneys general. He should have blocked then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, which has done considerable damage to the island’s security. He should have stopped his son Hunter from joining the board of a Ukrainian gas company and representing companies in China — and he certainly should have resisted Hunter’s attempts to impress clients by getting Dad on the phone.
Biden has another chance to say no — to himself, this time — by withdrawing from the 2024 race. It might not be in character for Biden, but it would be a wise choice for the country.
I doubt that Joe Biden, or the people around him, will follow that advice. They are too full of themselves to voluntarily make room for others. It will require more intervention, probably from former president Obama, to convince Biden to give up.
https://www.moonofalabama.org/
He should drop out now and should not pass go; instead, he needs to be sent directly to prison for the remainder of his miserable and sordid life.
Politico has an article, they’re asking Joe Biden to dump the Cackler for a different VP.
Yeah, they think Dementia Joe is just fine, it’s his running mate that is the problem.

Here we go again. Are mandates around the corner?
So there is an admission that the prior vaccines and boosters offer no protection against the variants. At the same time the makers of the vaccines openly admit that their newest formula does not protect against the newest variants. Why anyone on that side of the debate has any credibility remaining is beyond comprehension.
Makes me wonder just what exactly is in the liberals kool aide? I suspect they will use the argument that the regular flu shot only covers about 65% of flu during any flu season….am weary of the games played in health care.
It’s not credibility, it’s the environment of real news blackout and 24/7 propaganda.
so now all the vaxxed are the Grandma Killer and selfish if they don’t get the new
one.. they are selfish and should be shunned for not doing thier part
for the greater good.. is that what she is saying.. …
Yup sure seems like it…
or as Herman Hermits once said:
“second verse, same as the first”….
Yes I smell a plan….a plan for a new variant or worse….just in time for the winter flu season…..
I agree, keep your eyes and ears open….I posted a long rant earlier today about the FDA and whomever they talk to about wanting to remove cold medications off the shelf…OTC’s with phenylephrine….”because they don’t work”…
My tinfoil hat is a bit tight…but I found that to be true as I am on day 8 of something respiratory….no fever, a few back aches, sniffling, coughing and breathing issues and major fatigue…and nothing was working, my go to Dayquil severe cold…no work. Was using pills, then I though to try the liquid…made all the difference. LRight now I am in a better place.
In short, am wondering if the new variants will not respond to the OTC’s for cold and flu.
Which makes me wonder….if there is not going to be a shortage of phenylephrine in its pure form…in its IV form, it is used in the ICU as a vasopressor adjunct to the two major ones, when blood pressure cannot be maintained at a life sustaining level…so am wondering if this is a proactive tactic? Time will tell when we see how fast people get sick again…or how fast those meds are removed from the shelves or no longer manufactured.
Pay attention to #3 and #7
Never ever trust people who work in the medical profession again.

Demand Congress PROHIBIT the Fed from Implementing Central Bank Digital Currency!
The Federal Reserve is exploring the creation of a “Central Bank Digital Currency” (CBDC), a new “digital” version of the dollar that would endanger the privacy and security of American money. We must demand Congress OPPOSE and PREVENT any effort to implement the CBDC.
Tell Your Lawmakers: Oppose ALL legislation advancing a CBDC!
(go to the link and he gives you a quick way to send a message to your “representative”)Demand Congress PROHIBIT the Fed from Implementing Central Bank Digital
They have been “exploring” CBDC’s, for many years.
Canadian govt even spent millions, for a slick public service announcement, rolling out CBDC’s, …and yet they have NOT yet tried to actually implement it, anywhere in the World.
I suspect they will try the create a crises route, collapsing “the Global economy” and say the ONLY way to save civilisation as we know it, is to rapidly institute CBDC.
“I suspect they will try the create a crises route, collapsing “the Global economy” and say the ONLY way to save civilisation as we know it, is to rapidly institute CBDC.”
Yes, that’s my take too.
And George Gammon has done some good presentations on this–in one, he seems to say they may be able to institute it without us even knowing it at first–like they are building it on top of the infrastructure that is already there. Rob Keintz of Gold/SilverPros youtube channel said something similar–and he’s got a background in tech. I watched his video a while ago, but I kind of think he said something about major credit cards hooking us in. If I find it, I’ll post it.
Are Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) Destined to Fail?
By Timothy Alexander Guzman
Global Research, July 30, 2023
https://www.globalresearch.ca/central-bank-digital-currencies-cbdc-destined-fail/5825956
Since Bitcoin (BTC) was introduced to the world as an alternative to the current central bank system with a dying US dollar that is backed by nothing as its reserve currency, but now there is a plan by several governments to move ahead with implementing their own central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), which is a digital form of currency that is still backed by, you guessed it, nothing.
The Nigerian government had made the decision to be the financial guinea pig for the globalist CBDC scheme, and so far, it has failed and that’s the good news. The bad news is that certain governments are still moving forward with the idea of using government-issued digital currencies. In the case of Nigeria, its citizens rejected their government’s plan to issue CBDCs by restricting cash in efforts to create a cashless society and so far, it seems that it has failed in epic fashion according to an opinion piece by author Nicholas Anthony that was published by coindesk.com ‘Nigerians’ Rejection of Their CBDC Is a Cautionary Tale for Other Countries’ is a warning to governments who are willing to take the same step:
(snip)
Cash Is King! How the CBDC Failed in Japan and Ecuador(snip)
However, in the US, the Federal Reserve’s ‘FedNow’ was supposed to be launched sometime in July 2023. Here is the Federal Reserve’s Press Release:
The Federal Reserve announced that the FedNow Service will start operating in July and provided details on preparations for launch. The first week of April, the Federal Reserve will begin the formal certification of participants for launch of the service. Early adopters will complete a customer testing and certification program, informed by feedback from the FedNow Pilot Program, to prepare for sending live transactions through the system.
Certification encompasses a comprehensive testing curriculum with defined expectations for operational readiness and network experience. In June, the Federal Reserve and certified participants will conduct production validation activities to confirm readiness for the July launch.
“We couldn’t be more excited about the forthcoming FedNow launch, which will enable every participating financial institution, the smallest to the largest and from all corners of the country, to offer a modern instant payment solution,” said Ken Montgomery, first vice president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and FedNow program executive. “With the launch drawing near, we urge financial institutions and their industry partners to move full steam ahead with preparations to join the FedNow Service”
For the US population, FedNow is a test that will eventually fail. People will be skeptical about a central bank digital currency once it proves that it is used to surveil people’s spending habits and control what they spend their money on, and God forbid they are anti-war, anti-vaccine activists, homeschoolers, pro-gun supporters or conspiracy theorists, the bankers can cut them off from using CBDCs and then what happens? Will there be riots in the streets?

Some central banks have dropped out of the digital currency race
There are at least four countries that have either scrapped or halted CBDC plans so far, and each central bank has its own reasoning for not launching one.
https://cointelegraph.com/news/some-central-banks-have-dropped-out-of-the-digital-currency-race
>>> article discusses Denmark, Japan, Ecuador, and Finland
The banking cartel has been working on their plot to takeover the world for at least 100 years, if not much longer. They will NEVER give up. They simply regroup and come up with another strategy for getting what they want.
George Gammon did a video on this, where he talked about how they may be able to introduce this without us even knowing. When I have time, I’ll look for it and post it.
Also, Rob Keintz at GoldSilverPros, who actually has a background in tech, basically says the same thing–they are building this on already existing financial infrastructure. When I have time to search for the video where he talks about this, I’ll post it.
More from his letter:
Tomorrow, a U.S. House subcommittee will have a hearing on three bills that would stop the Federal Reserve from creating or even exploring a Central Bank Digital Currency without proper congressional authority.
The good news is three bills up for consideration – the Power of the Mint Act (H.R. 3402), the Digital Dollar Prevention Act (H.R. 3712), and the CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act (not yet numbered) – would end the Federal Reserve’s march toward a cashless society!
The bad news is you can NEVER sit back and trust politicians of any stripe to do the right thing.
The CBDC is nothing more than an instrument of mass surveillance and tyranny.
It’s critical you contact your U.S. Representative and DEMAND he or she BAN the Central Bank Digital Currency.
You and I simply must amp up the pressure.
So please make your voice heard with a phone call to your congressman’s office now! You can call the Capitol switchboard at (202) 225-3121 and they will connect you to your congressman’s office.
If you are sent to voice mail here’s a simple script you can use:
“Hello, this is [your name], from [your city—this identifies you as a constituent] and I’m calling to ask my representative to oppose any legislation to implement a Central Bank Digital Currency.
Furthermore, I call on my representative to support the Power of the Mint Act (H.R. 3402), the Digital Dollar Prevention Act (H.R. 3712), and the CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act (not yet numbered).
“The Biden Administration has directed the Federal Reserve to pursue a digital currency, which would threaten the financial freedom, privacy, and security of all Americans. The dollar is already in danger, and the Federal Reserve needs to be reined in, not allowed to foist a new digital currency on the American people.
“But neither the White House nor the Fed has the authority or power to create a CBDC without Congressional approval.
“Biden has put forth a radical and dangerous proposal, and we need to pass legislation to make absolutely clear that the Fed has no authority to implement a CBDC.
“I’d like to know if Representative [his or her name] will go on record by cosponsoring this critical legislation.”
done…thank you so much Amanda for providing the phone number and script..I actually talked to a live person…he actually asked twice for the bill numbers….
Yes, I appreciate that Dr. Paul sends out a script–otherwise, I never know what to say.
On one hand I hope Biden and crew escalate the Ukraine fiasco. Reason being that Russia will do what we can’t do…. nuke DC into the stone age.

This story covers a particularly nasty version of what’s lurking in today’s teaching community, with direct cites and all the receipts, so be prepared, but it’s a great example of some college kids who investigated, got it right and broke the story. Hopefully it will grow legs and run to reach all who need to hear it.
Take a lesson AP…NBC…CBS…FOX..BBC…

Speaker McCarthy finally bowed to pressure and, likely against his preference, launched an impeachment inquiry into President Biden. Already House conservatives like Matt Gaetz are warning that Republican hands will be cuffed. What should we expect from the process? Truth? Also today, Covid tyrants are back and cancelling high school football games again. Finally, Sen. Warren wants Musk probed over failing to facilitate Ukrainian attack on the Russian Black Sea Fleet.

The CIA is running the United States and pays the news media to steer public opinion with carefully orchestrated propaganda.
A very good discussion

HOSTILES – Best Western movie past ten years!
Christian Bale, Rosamund Pike and Wes Studi.
A US Cavalry Captain leads a patrol from New Mexico to Montana to return a dying Indian Chief to his homeland. It’s a brutally good movie!
Most of us see America as weak. So does Al Qaeda. Interesting article where they are taunting us again. But food for thought…Al Quaeda is Sunni Islam and Iran is pretty much Shia Islam…neither group particularly cares for the other but do both unite in hate the great satan (us).
Other than the disastrous Bribem exit, things have been quiet with them, relatively…
We just gave Iran how much money? Am betting Al Qaeda is not happy about that….

God Bless America.
“We know there are 400,000 unaccompanied minors that have come across this border since this administration took office, and we’ve got this massive flow, that the administration is not able to vet if their families are legitimate families or fake families.”
Same way they do mail in ballots…..
The CA sex-groomer Stasi just voted 96-7 to remove parental rights if they refuse to “accept” their children’s “transition”. That’s some serious Stockholm Syndrome right there.
What’s shocking about that number is when you look at an electoral map of CA and see that MOST of it is solid RED … and only the coastal fringe are loaded with extremist leftists. So that’s virtually EVERY RED County that just signed up for this unconstitutional MADNESS!!
CA is a lost cause.
Yes, It’s a sad song
California is giving us all an extra special peek at the Hellscape these Satanic pedophiles desire to establish everywhere on this Earth.
Oh, “Satanic pedophile elites, that is just a conspiracy theory ”
Oh yeah?
Look at California.
There’s your proof. All you have to do is look at them legalizing murdering newborns and sex with 14 year old boys. For real.
This is who they are. They are Lucifer’s children, in spirit, thought, worship, and deed.
So sad we won’t have Pierre Delecto to kick around anymore. I guess the prospect of PDJT term #2 was just too much for him.
Also, he would have lost by as much as Liz Cheney did in the primary..
Wow, it’s shocking how much he dislikes J.D. Vance. Anyone who wants to help middle America, the industrial class, and close the borders becomes instantly detested by the “elites.”
I hope he’s not bitter for long then.
Trump even won Pennsylvania when he beat Hillary.
Karl Rove said it was impossible to win Pennsylvania. A pipe dream.
What a bitter pill for these professional pols.
