News Headlines

I saw a picture on Fox news of Nancy Pelosi standing with George Soros and his son, who, by the way, made 14 visits to the White House in the last year. George Soros is a bad person, he is bad for freedom and liberty and he is certainly bad for the citizens of the United States.

Anheuser-Busch head of marketing takes failing brand “Bud Light” and paints the can with the face of the he-she-it, Dylan Mulvaney. That these woke companies are elevating deviance to a celebrated status is beyond comprehension to a normal person. Why would you do that? Heterosexual humans may be “tolerant” of this nonsense, but I doubt many, if any, approve.

These Biden administration’s EPA made heavy “emissions proposals on Wednesday with the goal of jump-starting EV sales and phasing out internal combustion engines.” They are forcing this crap down our throats. I did not vote for it, nor have any other Americans.

“The EPA lacks the legal authority to mandate EVs, but it will do so indirectly by setting CO2 emissions standards for 2027 thru 2032 with standards so strict that automakers must electrify their fleets to meet them.” why are we putting up with this shit? It is a shameless screwing of the American people. I will never own an electric vehicle. I don’t want one.

“The Administration’s coercive EV transition is being done in the name of reducing CO2 emissions, but it will have almost no effect on the climate. Climate has become the political cudgel to remake entire industries and coerce Americans to do what progressives want. they don’t believe Americans are enlightened enough to make their own choices.” WSJ

That will turn out to be their Waterloo. Patriots are amassing in the wings. They will push us over the edge at some point. Is this the inflection point?

The idiot in the Oval Office has issued another executive order granting free healthcare to illegal aliens. Guess who pays for that? We the People…I didn’t vote for it, did you? This is our money, not the government’s.

TEDDY ROOSEVELT ON IMMIGRANTS IN AMERICA…1907

In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American and nothing but an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag…We have room for but one language here and that is the English language…and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”
