    This ties in directly with the post immediately below about the Democrats’ attempt to punish McDonalds, because a McDonalds restaurant allowed Donald Trump to do a campaign stop there. Elon Musk has emerged as our most important champion of free speech, a concept that is anathema to the Democratic Party. Not only that, he has actually endorsed Donald Trump for president, and has brought his considerable skills and resources to bear on Trump’s behalf. That, obviously, cannot be permitted. So Musk’s companies have come under comprehensive fire from many government agencies: Stephen Pimentel @StephenPiment The lawfare against @elonmusk, as gleefully...

    The Global Assault on Religious FreedomAspiring tyrants are now brazen in their crusade against free speech. John Kerry, Tim Walz, Hillary Clinton, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Kentanji Brown Jackson, Letitia James, and their allies in academia and the media have been unequivocal in their calls to usurp the protections of the First Amendment. These threats are not hypothetical. The West has weaponized the judicial system to punish Steve Bannon, Julian Assange, Mark Steyn, Douglass Mackey, VDARE, Roger Ver, Pavel Durov, and others for their disobedience to the Washington establishment. But beyond these political persecutions, a more insidious – and far less...

    Vice President Kamala Harris is shamelessly trying to run away from her 'Border Czar' responsibilities, often with the assistance of a compliant 'news' media, but that wasn't the only major job with which she's been tasked in the Biden-Harris administration. The president also tapped her to help lead and oversee a number of expensive 'green' and infrastructure initiatives. On a costly plan to install new electric vehicle chargers (Harris is suddenly pretending she has nothing to do with EV mandates she has supported and co-sponsored), Politico described its 'progress' in late 2023: "Congress at the urging of the Biden administration...

    New Zealand has demonstrated why no free people should ever tolerate any form of gun registry.Those against registries always claim that this is one step from confiscation.New Zealand has proven that this is true with a current round of 62 gun licenses revoked for improper beliefs, which then require surrendering the firearms to the state.According to Waikatotimes NZ, New Zealand authorities conducted “Operation Belfast” in 2022 to “identify risks to law enforcement.”They focused on identifying members of a group called SovCits, a condensate of Sovereign Citizens.This group is alleged to believe that the federal government is illegitimate.

    Sex, sexual ambiguity, race, incompetence, war mongering and foreign interventions. While those are familiar issues in 2024, they’re merely echoes of earlier times… like the election of 1800! The presidential campaign of 1800 was the sequel to the first truly contested American presidential election in 1796 and featured the same two primary players. John Adams won and Thomas Jefferson lost and became vice president – the only time in history that’s happened. Although friends, the men became viscous rivals – although never actually campaigning themselves – and the campaigns were as brutal as any seen in modern times. With the...

    CV NEWS FEED // A group of Wyoming pro-life advocates recently contended at their local city council that they are the ones who experienced harassment, not the clinic escorts and patients, when they were praying and offering pro-life alternatives outside of a local abortion facility. Eighteen or more pro-lifers shared at the Casper City Council on October 15 about the situation related to the Wellsprings Health Access Clinic, which performs abortions, according to Oil City News. According to Cowboy State Daily, Casper Council member Brandy Haskins had said at a Council meeting the week before that a Wellsprings employee and...

    A watchdog group is demanding answers following a U.S. Army training that labeled pro-life organizations as "terrorist groups,” citing people who counsel women outside abortion facilities or display Choose Life license plates on their cars as potential threats. Judicial Watch, a conservative foundation that seeks accountability in government, filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Defense in the District Court for the District of Columbia last week. The foundation says it filed the lawsuit after failing to receive a response to an Aug. 13 request. The suit is in response to a briefing titled...

    This article originally appeared on Leo Hohmann’s Substack and was republished with permission. A video clip has resurfaced from May of 2019 in which Kamala Harris fantasizes about weaponizing the DOJ against speech the government doesn’t like, and the platforms that allow it. In the meantime, one month before a tense presidential election, the U.S. Department of Defense has authorized U.S. military “defense intelligence components” to use “lethal force” against American citizens if requested by state or local law enforcement in an emergency situation. More on this in a minute, but first let’s get to the May 2019 video showing...

    This week, Elton John publicly renounced the Rocket Man - no, not the 1972 song, but Elon Musk, whom he called an “a**hole” in an awards ceremony.Sir Elton, 77, is only the latest among celebrities and pundits to denounce Musk for his support of former president Donald Trump and his opposition to censorship. Musk-mania is so overwhelming that some are calling for his arrest, deportation and debarment from federal contracts.This week, the California Coastal Commission rejected a request from the Air Force for additional launches from Vandenberg Air Force Base. It is not because the military agency did not need...

    Donald Trump is ramping up his rhetoric depicting his political rivals and critics as criminals, while dropping a long trail of suggestions that he favors outlawing political speech that he deems misleading or challenges his claims to power.In a speech Friday in Aurora, Colorado, the Republican presidential nominee blasted the immigration system and lobbed a rhetorical grenade at his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris.“She’s a criminal. She’s a criminal,” said Trump, who was found guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in his New York hush money trial. “She really is, if you think about it.” (snip)...

    The most blatant attack on the 1st Amendment is currently happening in California and the perpetrators seem proud of themselves over it. California officials have rejected further rocket launches by SpaceX, a company owned by Elon Musk. Some of the officials have cited his posts on social media platform 𝕏, which he owns. According to the Los Angeles Times [emphasis added]: SpaceX’s plans to launch more rockets from the California coast were rejected by a state commission this week, with some officials citing Elon Musk’s political posts on 𝕏 and raising concerns about the billionaire’s labor record at his companies....

    Remember the last time the globalists took the mask off? It wasn’t that long ago, but some people might have already forgotten how the western world almost lost all individual freedom under the guise of an over-hyped health emergency. When globalists are honest about what they truly want, it usually coincides with an engineered calamity. In the two years since the failure of the covid pandemic narrative I have argued that globalist organizations are trying to regroup under a new plan. The evidence suggests that these people suffered a shocking revelation after their attempt to implement perpetual medical tyranny. They’ve...

    “What makes it possible for a totalitarian or any other dictatorship to rule is that people are not informed; how can you have an opinion if you are not informed? If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer… And a people that no longer can believe anything cannot make up its mind. It is deprived not only of its capacity to act but also of its capacity to think and to judge. And with such a people you can then do what you please.”- Hannah...
