Over the last six months, companies globally have sounded the alarm about a growing supply chain threat: the incredible backup at US ports, in particular at ports in California. What started as a concern has spiraled into a full blown transportation emergency – one that threatens to spike already rising inflation and lead to scarcity of essential items here in the US. The current supply chain crisis falls squarely within the purview of the Secretary of Transportation – given that it involves ports, rail, and trucking (ie the basic components of the Secretary of Transportation’s policy portfolio).

"Short version: Private enforcement of vaccination is being done through Texas HHS's ImmTrac2 vaccine database and the CDC's IZ Gateway. Sever this connection. Long Version Texas HHS tracks instate vaccinations for children at schools. When COVID broke out, the CDC established data connections with each state to track vaccinations. This is done by an electronic file feed between our database and the CDC. That electronic file feed is called the CDC IZ Gateway. Once the CDC has this data, they send it out to third parties, such as contractor ID.ME, and it is used for vaccine enforcement with private firms....

On this episode of the Resistance Library Podcast, Sam and Dave discuss Charlton Heston. Charlton Heston is a singular figure in American history and consciousness. During the early period of his acting career, he was known for historical and Biblical epics. After his career waned throughout the 1960s, he was reborn as a science fiction actor, thanks to his starring role in Planet of the Apes. While often viewed as a bit of camp today, this film and the series that spawned it was the biggest popular science fiction movie franchise in the pre-Star Wars era. For our purposes, however,...

The movement to “defund the police” became a popular cry among Hollywood elite over the past year with very few celebrities stepping up to defend cops. So it was a welcome change this week when Academy Award-winning Hollywood actor Morgan Freeman surprised an interviewer with his response to her ‘defund the police’ question.

America loves an outlaw. Some outlaws simply need to find their calling, and David Marshall Williams is such a man. A convicted murderer of a sheriff's deputy, no less, he turned his prison experience into a tale of personal redemption and revolutionized the field of semi-automatic firearms for over a century. Williams was one of a whopping 12 children born to James Claude Williams, a wealthy and highly influential landowner in Cumberland County, North Carolina. His early life is pure Americana: Expelled from school in eighth grade, he apprenticed underneath a blacksmith. Finding this life lacking in adventure, he lied...

Here we go again! The ABC, CBS and NBC morning news shows protected President Joe Biden by censoring another horrible report released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The BLS reported at 8:30 a.m. today that the U.S. economy added only 194,000 jobs in the month of September. The BLS figure completely dismantled predictions by economists surveyed by Refinitiv who were expecting a 500,000 increase. That means predictions were off by a whopping 306,000 jobs. CATO Director for Tax Policy Studies Chris Edwards told the MRC in response to the BLS report that “[l]arge and small businesses are surely worried...

Will no one rid us of this troublesome A-10 ‘Warthog’? The United States Air Force (USAF) has spent almost two-thirds of its existence as an independent service trying to get rid of the A-10, one of its most well-known aircraft. But has the Air Force finally given up? It is odd to think that a fifty-year-old aircraft might have more job security now than at any time in its long history, but it does seem that the Warthog now has a relatively secure space in the USAF fleet.

“A default could potentially — but not necessarily — delay the payment of Social Security benefits, which reach about 65 million Americans in some form,” the Times said. “It could also delay payments to government contractors, including hospitals that accept patients who use Medicare and Medicaid benefits.” A default would also have effects that trickle down further, including to state-run programs, as well as the expanded child tax credit. The next scheduled payment from that is October 15, which is before the possible default date, although another payment is due November 15.

Dr Fauci gave a virtual lecture entitled d COVID-19: Lessons Learned and Remaining Challenges to Canadians at McGill University in which he made a startling declaration. Fauci boldly told Canadians who oppose vaccine mandates that they have “no right to make their own decision about what goes into their body” during the presentation, which outlined how the world continues to battle with the Covid pandemic. He said: “there comes a time when you do have to give up what you consider your individual right of making your own decision.” .. Fauci began his message to those freedom-minded Canadians who believe...

Attorney General Merrick Garland is using the power of the FBI to go after parents who are speaking out at school board meetings against critical race theory being taught to their kids in public schools. So the FBI hasn’t done anything about the post-Floyd riots explosion in crime which lead to an additional 4,901 homicides last year but parents organizing against anti-white CRT brainwashing need to be aggressively shut down. Yes, parents are a bigger threat to the Democrats than actual murderers. “In recent months, there has been a disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school...

Google’s doodle on Friday “celebrated” ethno-nationalist La Raza activist Rodolfo Gonzales boasting about his “pure blood” and refusal to assimilate into America. “I am the masses of my people and I refuse to be absorbed,” the Google doodle said. “My faith unbreakable, my blood is pure.” The doodle features buttons for “Aztlan,” a movement that advocates for Hispanics to reconquer the southern United States (La Reconquista), and “Chicano Power.” Gonzales brought together militant youth from street gangs, ex-convicts and assorted young Hispanics for the first ever “Chicano Youth Liberation Conference.” “Chicano youth believed that for Mexican Americans to be instilled...

Our historical forgotten American articles are generally impressive figures, but there are very few one might accurately call “cool.” This is an exception in two ways. Václav Havel, the founder of the modern-day Czech Republic (also known as Czechia) is undoubtedly cool by any definition of the word. A political dissident under the Soviet-backed regime, he served hard time in Communist prisons rather than bend the knee to their authority. His moral courage acted as a beacon of hope for the entire resistance movement behind the Iron Curtain. As you've gathered by now, the second exception is that Havel is...

The Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, has announced that he is no longer going to “deport people solely because they are undocumented” and is advising ICE to consider shielding mentally ill criminals from deportation in the name of “achieving justice.” CNBC on Thursday ran an article titled: “U.S. will no longer deport people solely because they are undocumented, Homeland Security secretary says.” “Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Thursday said immigration officers can no longer detain and deport people from the U.S. solely because they are undocumented,” CNBC reported. “The fact an individual is a removable...

"Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one." "He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression." "Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it." "Whatever is my right as a man is also the right of another; and it becomes my duty to guarantee as well as to possess." "I have always strenuously supported the right of every man to his own opinion, however different...

General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, prevented Donald Trump from invoking the Insurrection Act against Black Lives Matter during their 2020 riots. Milley, according to Bob Woodward and Robert Costa’s new book, ‘Peril,’ drastically minimized the riots to Trump, suggesting that they were mostly centered upon the use of “spray paint.” Despite the violent protests spreading across the country like wildfire, Milley insisted that they had only impacted two cities and were peaceful, echoing CNN’s absurd description of the riots as “fiery, but most peaceful.” “They used spray paint, Mr. President, that’s not an insurrection. […]...

Constitution Day is a dual observance: It celebrates both the day that the United States Constitution was adopted, as well as honors naturalized citizens of our country. Prior to 2004, the day was known as Citizenship Day. Its name was changed due to an amendment attached to a spending bill by Sen. Robert Byrd. While there was an archaic form of the holiday first celebrated in Iowa schools in 1911, a movement to adopt the day was advanced by the Sons of the American Revolution. This organization appointed a committee to lobby for the day that included figures such as...

Facebook has pledged to significantly increase its censorship of the German anti-lockdown movement by removing pages and accounts of anyone who challenges the official narrative. Facebook’s head of security policy Nathaniel Gleicher smugly announced the new draconian policy on Thursday, boasting that his team has been working for months to “expand our network disruption efforts so we can address threats that come from groups of authentic accounts coordinating on our platform to cause social harm.” The closest his post comes to defining “social harm” is content that “calls for violence or to discredit medical science.” Gleicher says his group has...

The Biden administration allowed a carefully curated view into the military base housing recent Afghani evacuees, echoing previous limitations that barred reporters from observing conditions at detention centers for illegal immigrants, as well as the conditions of Jan. 6 political dissidents. However, it declined to let reporters interview detainees about the conditions or other events that contributed to their evacuation after President Joe Biden’s botched withdrawal. Liz Gracon, a senior State Department official, told reporters, “Every Afghan who is here with us has endured a harrowing journey and they are now faced with the very real challenges of acclimating to...

The Left is absolutely frightened of Larry Elder and doing everything they can to make sure they don’t lose their precious California. With an atrocious and moronic hit piece suggesting that African Americans who are purportedly “white supremacists” constitute the next “big threat” to America, CNN is working overtime to make Elder a boogeyman. Non-white people like Larry Elder, according to the far-left outlet, represent “the black face of white supremacy.” Via an article on its site, CNN tells readers that “whiteness is elastic”: “The census suggests that white Americans will be a minority by 2045, but as several commentators...
