Leftists are wetting their pants over Elon Musk taking over Twitter. They view the unrestricted free speech he promises as DANGEROUS. They see any views in opposition to their own as physical violence– like a rapist, murderer, thief or looter. Imagine the intellectual and psychological state of someone so terrified of an opposing opinion that they’d rather impose a totalitarian dictatorship than take what they see as a risk on freedom of speech. We call them snowflakes, but that seems like too kind a word. I call them petulant, tantrum-throwing little terrorists. WE are the ones who must be protected from THEM. I wish Elon Musk the best, and I hope he means to keep his promise.

US immigration policy, or lack thereof, permits massive numbers of people of color (POC), but not white people of European ethnicity, to enter the US by claiming persecution in their own country. The limit on this right, Title 42 Expulsion, which expires at the end of next month, permits expulsions of asylum seekers if they have recently been in a country where a communicable disease was present. The Trump administration established this policy, apparently at the direction of the Centers for Disease Control, as an anti-Covid precaution. The Biden regime has refused to extend Title 42 as Democrat liberals and the ACLU regard this Covid measure as an expression of white racism, which they believe is an inbred characteristic of Trump and every Trump supporter. The Democrat liberals’ policy is that it is racism to stop a POC immigrant-invader infected with Covid from entering our country as an asylum-seeker, whether or not he is persecuted in his home country. The asylum claim is all that is necessary for entry.
By permitting entry of the unvaccinated and unmasked the Biden regime admits that the “Covid pandemic” is no longer a concern. Nevertheless, the Biden regime continues to harass Americans about vaccination and mask mandates. But immigrant-invaders can enter the country and be allocated into American communities, as 600,000 currently are ( https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2022/04/20/biden-regime-to-release-600000-immigrant-invaders-into-us-communities/ ), without masks or vaccination.
Immigrant invaders, understanding that the only remaining barrier to their overrunning the United States is about to be cancelled by the Biden regime, the president of which has said that he welcomes the day white Americans are a minority, ( https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2022/04/19/biden-says-the-end-of-white-america-is-a-good-thing/ ), are gathering at the American border to enter in massive numbers on June 1 and thereafter. As everyone knows who makes a call to their bank, credit card company, or any government office, Spanish is already a second language in the United States. As the policy of open borders proceeds, soon the United States will be a different country with a different dominant language and Hispanic culture.
Hispanics would be an improvement over the white liberals who are running the show and brainwashing white youths with critical race theory, wokeism, and identity politics. American culture has been eroding for some time. Today white youth are an audience for black rap “music” that offends, or should, just about everyone, or would have in previous times, and attractive upper class women have body piercings and tattoos that in former times were associated only with drunken sailors and prostitutes. A family-oriented horde of immigrant-invaders would be a better alternative to the culture that white liberals have created.
But the warmongers in Washington should understand that immigrants fleeing from oppression, rather than standing and confronting it, are unlikely to be good warriors in behalf of American hegemony. Hispanic inhabitants of the US have no interest in serving in wars for the benefit of those they have overrun and displaced.
One downside is that the meaning both of citizenship and national defense is lost. If a person who walks or is driven across the border can become a de facto citizen, what meaning attaches to a native-born American? If Washington is only concerned with borders in Ukraine, but not with US borders, what does it mean to be a nation or a country?
Another downside is that America is running out of resources, especially water, and has a high cost of living. Can the troubled economy and school and medical systems absorb wave after wave of largely unskilled third world immigrants? With so much manufacturing offshored, where are high productivity, high value-added jobs to provide upward mobility for impoverished millions?
The Democrats think that the immigrant-invaders are going to always vote for the white Democrat liberals who opened America to them. But as their numbers grow, the immigrant-invaders will displace the white liberals and rule on their own accord. The Democrats sponsoring the replacement of native-born white Americans with third world immigrant-invaders are erasing their own place in the sun.
This might be a good thing, but it nevertheless suggests the demise of the white race just as the European immigrant-invaders that overran the New World meant the demise of the native Indians, as they were called.
Jean Raspail in 1973 predicted the fate of the Western World in his masterpiece, The Camp of the Saints.
The entirety of the Western World is finished. The belief system that sustained Western civilization has succumbed to decades of attack. The West is played out. Those Russians who are selling out their country in hopes of “becoming part of the West” don’t understand that Russia will sink with the West if Russian leadership is incapable of breaking away and joining rising Asia.
The state of Texas one day will likely have to take the border situation into its own hands if the federal government won’t help, as President Joe Biden is “just unaware of the challenges that are facing us,” Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush, who is running for his state’s attorney general position, said on Newsmax Saturday.
“Texas is probably gonna have to assert its sovereignty and do the job of the federal government if they’re not going to do it for us, whether that’s constructing a wall on state lands or interdicting, apprehending, and prosecuting illegals understate trespassing law,” Bush, a Republican, said on Newsmax TV.
“Texas is a big and bold state and we’re going to have to do this job.”
A different kind of Bush, for sure! I believe it’s even worse than he says. Texas will have to secede. I believe under DeSantis, Florida will take the lead. DemComs do not believe in the Constitution, and they are no longer merely a political party; they are an occupation. Like it or not, “Democrats” are already at war with decent, freedom-loving Americans, and they will NEVER let go of power. Just watch and see. At some point, we’re going to have to face the fact that we’re already at war.

President Donald Trump, at his most recent rally: “Despite great outside powers and dangers, our biggest threat remains the sick, sinister, and evil people from within our own country.
“There is no threat as dangerous to democracy as they are. Just look at the un-select committee of political hacks and what they’re doing to our country while radical-left murderers, rapists, and insurrectionists roam free: Nothing happens to them.
“But no matter how big or powerful these corrupt radicals may be, you must never forget this nation does not belong to them. This nation belongs to you. This is your home. This is your heritage, and your great American liberty is your God-given right.”
War is a racket, wrote US Maj. General Smedley Butler in 1935. He explained: “A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small ‘inside’ group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.”
Gen. Butler’s observation describes the US/NATO response to the Ukraine war perfectly.
The propaganda continues to portray the war in Ukraine as that of an unprovoked Goliath out to decimate an innocent David unless we in the US and NATO contribute massive amounts of military equipment to Ukraine to defeat Russia. As is always the case with propaganda, this version of events is manipulated to bring an emotional response to the benefit of special interests.
One group of special interests profiting massively on the war is the US military-industrial complex. Raytheon CEO Greg Hayes recently told a meeting of shareholders that, “Everything that ‘s being shipped into Ukraine today, of course, is coming out of stockpiles, either at DOD or from our NATO allies, and that’s all great news. Eventually we’ll have to replenish it and we will see a benefit to the business.”
He wasn’t lying. Raytheon, along with Lockheed Martin and countless other weapons manufacturers are enjoying a windfall they have not seen in years. The US has committed more than three billion dollars in military aid to Ukraine. They call it aid, but it is actually corporate welfare: Washington sending billions to arms manufacturers for weapons sent overseas.
By many accounts these shipments of weapons like the Javelin anti-tank missile (jointly manufactured by Raytheon and Lockheed Martin) are getting blown up as soon as they arrive in Ukraine. This doesn’t bother Raytheon at all. The more weapons blown up by Russia in Ukraine, the more new orders come from the Pentagon.
Former Warsaw Pact countries now members of NATO are in on the scam as well. They’ve discovered how to dispose of their 30-year-old Soviet-made weapons and receive modern replacements from the US and other western NATO countries.
While many who sympathize with Ukraine are cheering, this multi-billion dollar weapons package will make little difference. As former US Marine intelligence officer Scott Ritter said on the Ron Paul Liberty Report last week, “I can say with absolute certainty that even if this aid makes it to the battlefield, it will have zero impact on the battle. And Joe Biden knows it.”
What we do see is that Russians are capturing modern US and NATO weapons by the ton and even using them to kill more Ukrainians. What irony. Also, what kinds of opportunities will be provided to terrorists, with thousands of tons of deadly high-tech weapons floating around Europe? Washington has admitted that it has no way of tracking the weapons it is sending to Ukraine and no way to keep them out of the hands of the bad guys.
War is a racket, to be sure. The US has been meddling in Ukraine since the end of the Cold War, going so far as overthrowing the government in 2014 and planting the seeds of the war we are witnessing today. The only way out of a hole is to stop digging. Don’t expect that any time soon. War is too profitable.

Energy Crisis: Italy to Ration Use of Air Conditioning, Heat, to Wean Country Off Russian Power” [Breitbart headline]
And here it is: The fully expected sequel to COVID fascism. Ayn Rand called the 1970s environmental movement “The anti-Industrial Revolution.” Now we are seeing the implementation of that revolution. Green fascism does not seek to make life better for humans; it seeks to destroy life as humans know it, and will ultimately kill millions as we go backwards in time.
It’s not mainly about Russia. It’s about Green.
In the not-too-distant future, on our present path, you will read a headline like this: “Energy Crisis: America to Ration Use of Air Conditioning, Heat, to Wean Country Off Fossil Fuels.”
I promise you: This is coming, unless we remove from power (as well as arrest and prosecute) all who imposed fascism on us with the excuse of the flu. They will try again, and the excuse with fossil fuels will make their fascism PERMANENT, this time.

DeSantis has figured it out. SHUT DOWN their special favors. END the subsidies. Let the loony leftists fend for themselves on an open market. See how long they last. Say goodnight, Mickey.
