President Trump is publishing a new photo coffee table book called “Our Journey Together.”  [Purchase Here]  According to the Washington Examiner, the first 24 hours of pre-orders resulted in more than $1 million in sales even without any official promotion or sales push.

The major book publishing houses previously stated they would not work with President Trump and blacklisted him.  As a result, President Trump organized his own publishing network called Winning Team Publishing.   The books will begin shipping the first week of December, just in time for Christmas.

The book is available for pre-order HERE.

Holy smokes,this lady is impressive.  Virginia Lt. Governor-Elect Winsome Sears appears on CNN’s State of the Union show hosted by Dana Bash.

Dana Bash throws out several DNC leftist talking points in an effort to corner Winsome Sears, but the incoming Lieutenant Governor was having none of the nonsense. From the infrastructure bill, to Critical Race Theory, to COVID and vaccine propaganda, Ms. Winsome Sears just pummels the talking points of the political left.

When questioned about Virginia receiving benefits from the Biden infrastructure bill for broadband expansion, Sears points out the leftist infrastructure bill only permits money for broadband in Virginia regions with expanding immigrant populations, vis-a-vis illegal aliens.  The illegal alien residency is a requirement for the money, so how does that benefit Southwest Virginians?   Dana Bash is speechless.

When questioned about CRT in schools, Bash attempts the parseltongue framework that CRT is not “officially” in the curriculum.  Mrs Sears points out the specifics of where CRT does actually exist in the Democrat curriculum.  Dana Bash is uncomfortable, visibly uncomfortable, and speechless.

When questioned about COVID vaccinations for children, and the private personal vaccination status of Mrs. Sears herself, well, Winsome Sears just pummels the premise with facts, reason, science and the foundational block of liberty.  John King’s ex-wife shrinks.  Then comes the Rittenhouse mic drop at the end…  WATCH:

Plain talk…. heart talk…. strong talk…. Virginia has done very well with Winsome Sears.

Mrs. Sears is a communist Democrat’s worst nightmare.  The political left must be extremely fearful of this woman.

Earlier today, while sharpening the saw, I was having a deep discussion with a dear friend who possesses a large intellectual grasp on the big picture.  Unfortunately, like many of us, my friend is deep behind enemy lines and a subject of totalitarian COVID rules that would shock our year-ago selves.

Part of our conversation covered the absence of leadership from anyone, anyone in a position of influence, who could eloquently connect the challenges of COVID regulation to the humanity of people.  It is an important issue for me, because I -like most of you- can see the damage all around me; yet, we are supposed to pretend this ‘new normal’ is not isolating, not killing, not undermining the most vulnerable around us.

Poet Robert Burns called it “man’s inhumanity to man,” a premise that as humans we are destined to be forlorn, because the feeling of sadness is a steeper slope than the rise of happiness.  The counteracting force to battle isolation is fellowship, a larger connection to our social network.

The governmental premise of COVID isolation, quarantine and lockdown protocols are all antithetical to the essential human need, connection.  Nothing within those regulatory rules has anything to do with public health.  Exactly the opposite is true – isolation, loneliness and a disconnect from people is far deadlier than any virus.  However, even more deadly is this toxic and purposeful division between the vaccinated and unvaccinated.

No one in a position of political influence is talking about the damage to our social fabric created by government COVID regulations.  The silence is deafening; however, Neil Oliver is a voice in the wilderness who deeply understands the immoral nature of their silence.  WATCH:

Barack Obama and Eric Holder did not create a weaponized DOJ and FBI; the institutions were already weaponized by the Patriot Act.

Instead, what Obama and Holder did was to take the preexisting system and retool it so the weapons of government only targeted one side of the political continuum. This point is where many people understandably get confused.

In the era shortly after 9/11, the DC national security apparatus was constructed to preserve continuity of government and simultaneously view all Americans as potential threats. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) were created specifically for this purpose.

What Barack Obama and Eric Holder did with that new construct was refine the internal targeting mechanisms so that only their ideological opposition became the target of the new national security system. This is very important to understand as you dig deeper into this research outline.

Washington DC created the modern national security apparatus immediately and hurriedly after 9/11/01. DHS came along in 2002, and within the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 the ODNI was formed. When Barack Obama and Eric Holder arrived a few years later, those newly formed institutions were viewed as opportunities to create a very specific national security apparatus that would focus almost exclusively against their political opposition.

The preexisting Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Dept of Justice (DOJ) were then repurposed to become two of the four pillars of the domestic national security apparatus. However, this new construct would have a targeting mechanism based on political ideology. The DHS, ODNI, DOJ and FBI became the four pillars of this new institution. Atop these pillars is where you will find the Fourth Branch of Government.

This is a little more interesting than Biden’s off-the-cuff remarks, because Kamala Harris was hand selected in the agreement between Barack Obama and James Clyburn to represent the public face of the professional political grievance industry.   In essence, activist agitation is the primary reason why team Obama put Kamala Harris into the office of the executive.   In the Rittenhouse aftermath, we see that Kamala purpose with a little more clarity.

In this video Kamala doesn’t wait to be asked, she rushes purposefully to the microphones and then instructs them on the purpose.  Its’ a rather telling moment in the background of why Kamala Harris was put into place. [27 seconds, WATCH]:

…”Hey guys, well it was a good trip and um, I know you have questions about the verdict; and the verdict really speaks for itself.  As many of you know I’ve spent a majority of my career working to make the criminal justice system more equitable, and clearly there’s a lot more work to do.”…

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the state legislature worked during a special session to create four new state laws prohibiting COVID-19 mandates for employment or school attendance:  HB 1B covering COVID-19 Mandates; CS/HB 3B covering protection of private records; HB 5B establishing standards for Florida Occupational Safety and Health State Plan; and HB 7B, governing vaccinations during Public Health Emergencies [LINK].  The special legislative session was called and utilized due to approaching deadlines within the original Biden mandate as outlined by the Dept. of Labor.

Yesterday the state legislature presented the four bills to the governors office.  Today Governor DeSantis joined with state Attorney General Ashley Moody and traveled to Brandon, Florida, for a press conference where he signed the bills to protect the rights of workers & students in the state.  After the remarks and signing ceremony Governor DeSantis took questions from the media. WATCH (prompted):

Also at the event today, Attorney General Ashley Moody announced that Florida is challenging the CMS rule in court. Read more about that announcement HERE.

The basics of the four bills include:

The Senate Banking, Housing, & Urban Affairs Committee held a confirmation today for Joe Biden’s communist nominee Saule Omarova to be Comptroller of the Currency.  It really is quite remarkable that Biden would nominate a person who has advocated for government control over all allocation of capital and credit in the U.S. economy.

Ms. Omarova has advocated for government intervention in the allocation of all resources used within the finance and banking system, completely reversing the free market allocation of capital in the economy.   Omarova’s position of federal control is unchanged throughout her life, yet she has attempted to add nuance and denial to a life-long history of working on this process.

Ms. Omarova is the tip of the spear in using finance and banking to implement the regulatory controls needed to support the Green New Deal, where government would intervene and deny capital to private interests who would not be in alignment with leftist energy policy and total economic change via Build Back Better.  Today she was confronted by several senators within the banking committee.  WATCH:

The southern border is a mess, and border state Latino Democrats are switching to the Republican Party.  The Texas border region overwhelmingly increased their support for Donald Trump in the 2020 election, and are now voting for local Republican candidates.  This is the MAGA influence of Trump and the America-First Main Street realignment.

Inflation is skyrocketing and will continue getting worse through 2022.  Wage growth is nowhere near enough to keep up with food inflation.  Gas prices have almost doubled in some areas and will continue to increase due to Biden energy policy.

The Democrat regulatory environmental programs in coastal areas are creating massive supply chain issues.  Home heating costs this winter will be 60 to 70 percent higher due to Biden energy policy.

The Joe Biden vaccination mandate is creating a workforce crisis and escalating backlash created by toxic federal overreach.  Several blue states (CA, NY, IL) are losing congressional seats due to population losses, while red states are gaining congressional districts due to population growth.  Insane spending by Democrats continues without pause or consideration for the inflation they are creating.  The great ideological cleaving between Democrat communists and middle-class Americans continues.

Polling indicates there is a major storm on the horizon for Democrats, as their ideological thirst for power is transparent {link} and being rejected.  As noted by the Washington Post, “On Tuesday night, voters in Columbia, S.C., elected a Republican, Daniel Rickenmann, as their next mayor — about a year after voters in the county voted for Biden by a 38-point margin,” yet we all know the result will be attributed to racism or something equally as stupid.

Every single policy the Biden administration touches creates a crap storm of anxiety for the ‘Main Street’ American worker.  The only group benefiting from JoeBama is the same group that funds them, Wall Street.  Making matters worse, the political communists behind the policy execution are brazen in showcasing how the destruction of the American economy is their intent.

A very interesting interview with Chris Spear, president and CEO of the American Trucking Association.

During a House Transportation Committee hearing on supply chain issues, CEO Chris Spear shares an internal survey showing that 37% of truck drivers “not only said no, but said hell no” to the Biden vaccine mandates.

To give some perspective of the downstream consequence, the ATA President noted that “if just 3.7 percent, not 37 percent, just 3.7 percent” of the drivers left the industry, there would be over a quarter million vacancies resulting in a “catastrophic” collapse of the U.S. supply chain.  Mr. Spear also shared his opinion the OSHA rule is completely unworkable and unlawful.

The consequences are grave if just 3.7% did not work.  However, if ten times that many, 37 percent of truck drivers, stopped hauling products because of the Biden vaccine requirement, American civic society would collapse within days as panicked citizens took to the streets.  Desperate Americans would be clamoring for scarce products, and the impact on society could not be measured.  WATCH:

As we have continued to point out, a federal vaccine mandate might sound like a good idea on a think tank, academic or white paper policy level of consideration; but on a practical level, wiping out a large percentage of your most productive workforce over a vaccine mandate is unworkable, and might even end the operation of the entire business.

It is important to note the recent NBC poll on this issue amid the outlook of the vaccine mandates.  A majority of the country do not support the vaccine mandates, and worse still, the number of unvaccinated workers is essentially unwavering in the past six weeks {poll data}.  Remember, the number of Americans who willingly quit their jobs increased to 4.3 million in August {link}, and then increased again to 4.4 million in September {link}. People are not f**king around now.

The Biden Department of Labor cannot win in court over their use of OSHA to force mandated vaccines.  The effort to use an OSHA Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) did not and will not survive judicial scrutiny.

The exemptions alone nullify the claims the ETS is built upon, and the courts are recognizing the brutally obvious political nature of the vaccine mandate effort.

As a result of the Fifth Circuit (New Orleans, LA) order to stay the vaccine requirement {See Here}, OSHA has now announced {SEE HERE} they will not attempt to enforce the rule:

Dept of Labor – “On November 12, 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit granted a motion to stay OSHA’s COVID-19 Vaccination and Testing Emergency Temporary Standard, published on November 5, 2021 (86 Fed. Reg. 61402) (“ETS”). The court ordered that OSHA “take no steps to implement or enforce” the ETS “until further court order.” While OSHA remains confident in its authority to protect workers in emergencies, OSHA has suspended activities related to the implementation and enforcement of the ETS pending future developments in the litigation.” (link)

While the 5th circuit case from Louisiana was the first, there are 11 total circuit court cases holding the same challenges.  As a result, the cases were consolidated and assigned to one circuit court chosen randomly via lottery.

The 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati, Ohio, won the lottery to hear the legal challenges. “The 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, based in Cincinnati, Ohio, is known to lean conservative, with most of its judges appointed by Republican presidents.”  The 6th Circuit will have to decide whether or not to lift or maintain the stay instituted by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, based in New Orleans.
