GOP Governors Lay Out 10-Point Plan to 'Combat Biden's Border Crisis'

GOP Governors Lay Out 10-Point Plan to 'Combat Biden's Border Crisis': 

“The governors, led by Governors Doug Ducey and Greg Abbott, had sent a letter to Biden on September 20th, requesting a meeting within 15 days to discuss the crisis on the southern border – including a nearly 500% surge in border apprehensions and the seizure of more fentanyl this year than the last three years combined,” the Republican Governors Association said in a written statement. “Since then, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki has inaccurately accused Republicans of not offering solutions and made excuses for the President, who has spent his life in politics and appears to have never visited the border. Not having the time is no excuse, the President has repeatedly had “his schedule cleared.”

"HT~ Lynn Chu: According to Bannon on War Room, there are 4 aircraft carriers in the vicinity of Taiwan now, in response to CCP planes buzzing Taiwan, and Japan has sent a carrier armed with US planes as well. 

China needs a wag the dog moment to distract from all the savings stolen by Evergrande from the Chinese people and from rising unrest in China. 

Had Wall Street had its way, CALPERS and other US pension funds would’ve had a big piece of that nice Chinese fraud action.

America's botched Afghanistan withdrawal: 'It’s even worse than people know'

America's botched Afghanistan withdrawal: 'It’s even worse than people know'

"The following is according to firsthand accounts.

• U.S. Embassy left behind biometrics on Afghans who helped U.S.
• Taliban used the information to contact the Afghans with spoof emails, telling them report to fake "safe houses," where they were executed
  

“It’s even worse than people know,” says a source who was present for the botched U.S withdrawal from Afghanistan in August.

...important and sensitive material was left behind a short distance away at the U.S. embassy. 

That included decades of biometrics information collected about Afghans who assisted the American effort: fingerprints, facial recognition data, and information on their social media.

The biometrics files were quickly collected by the Islamic extremist Taliban.

It's Time for Civil Disobedience: Here Is How We Stop Biden Vaccine Mandates

"...I grew up with an understanding and appreciation of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and his extraordinary ideas and strategies -- in particular, civil disobedience...inspired protests, strikes, boycotts, sit-ins and other forms of civil disobedience to get the attention of the government, businesses, media and white America.

It worked...King and his civil disobedience strategy changed this country and helped achieve civil rights and equality for black Americans.

• Sadly, it's now time for conservatives, Christians, patriots and 80 million-plus Trump warriors to adopt the mentality, strategy and tactics of Dr. Martin Luther King and other black civil rights leaders. Because we are now the persecuted. It's our civil and human rights being violated.
• ...The loud minority has outplayed and steamrolled the silent majority for decades with this strategy of intimidation. 

...If you can't beat 'em, copy them. Use their tactics. Fight fire with fire.

...And the main tactic we need right now is civil disobedience -- to prevent restaurants and retail stores from falling in line with clearly illegal and unconstitutional vaccine mandates and vaccine passports.

...I will ask 10,000-plus conservatives to join me in front of the first restaurant or retail store in Vegas that tries to implement "vaccinated only." We will lock arms and block the entrance, so no one gets in or out -- just like MLK...Read all!

$5 trillion in 2021 global debt/equity raised (so far), “divest fossil fuels” in full swing, the world running short of natural gas/coal, and winter is coming
"...I am at a loss to describe the mayhem going on in the energy world... it’s just that the macro scene is so ludicrous that it defies description or common sense. 

...Think I’m nuts? Hear me out. It won’t take long.

• At present, Europe, China and India are in a mad scramble to secure hydrocarbon supplies before winter. Natural gas and coal prices are at record highs, and oil is at a 3 year high....More than half of India’s coal fired power plants have less than 3 days’ supply... And winter is looming. The problem could be catastrophic.
• ...At the same time, observe what is happening in capital/debt markets. For purpose of this discussion, two points are of note...producers cannot access capital markets, while all the users of that fuel tap debt and equity markets to fuel further growth, which will require more hydrocarbons.

...Global governments are standing by, pretending there is minimal “transitory” inflation, pretending that the trillions going into green energy are doing anything at all, and sweating profusely at the thought of this all unravelling.

New report documents evidence the coronavirus was spreading in Wuhan as early as May 2019, and China knew about it - TheBlaze

New report documents evidence the coronavirus was spreading in Wuhan as early as May 2019, and China knew about it - TheBlaze: 

A new report documented evidence that the coronavirus has been spreading in Wuhan as early as May 2019 and that the Chinese government knew about it.

The report — titled "Procuring for a Pandemic: An Assessment of Hubei Province PCR Procurement Contracts" — shows that the government in China was buying up testing related to the coronavirus much earlier than the officially recognized beginning of the pandemic.

The PCR-related procurement contracts are called the "gold standard" of the coronavirus testing, suggesting that China knew there was an outbreak of the coronavirus as early as May 2019.

To make matters worse, police are currently doing this in secret, which insulates the practice from public debate and regulation,” she added.

Horowitz: Harvard researcher finds absolutely no correlation between vax rates and COVID cases globally - TheBlaze: 

The reality is that the notion that protection against serious illness is holding up, even as the vaccinated spread the virus more than ever, is collapsing by the day. According to the Associated Press, hospitalizations are surging in New England. The five states with the highest percentage of a fully vaccinated population are all in New England. At some point, it becomes hard to blame a worse spread than pre-vaccination on the few remaining unvaccinated adults without first investigating whether the vaccine itself made the virus worse.

Victor Davis Hanson: ‘Open Borders,’ ‘Globalism,’ ‘Tribalism’ Are Reminiscent of Rome’s Collapse

"Victor Davis Hanson, historian, professor, and author of The Dying Citizen: How Progressive Elites, Tribalism, and Globalization Are Destroying the Idea of America, said on Wednesday that “open borders,” “globalism,” and “tribalism” are contributing to a collapse of the United States reminiscent of the fall of Rome.
Borders, language, and culture are essential for national continuity, Hanson stated in an interview on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow.
He remarked, “Every nation that has survived has had borders that were defensible and clear, and the idea was that they have their own space to inculcate their language or traditions or customs, then enhance their constitution. 

Without that, it’s just short of a migratory, 5th century A.D. Rome where people come across the Danube River and destroy the nation-state.”...Read all!

DeSantis accuses AG Garland of 'weaponizing the DOJ' against parents - TheBlaze

DeSantis accuses AG Garland of 'weaponizing the DOJ' against parents - TheBlaze: Critics counter that the acts of violence or threats described are already illegal, and that local law enforcement is capable of handling such crimes, as demonstrated by arrests already made. They, like DeSantis, say that the NSBA's request for federal intervention and Garland's response are meant to intimidate parents and dissuade them from protesting over mask mandates, critical race theory, transgender policies, and more.
