What do these people have in common?
This is a very diverse group of people: Juan Manuel Santos, Abiy Ahmed, Theodore Roosevelt, Mikhail Gorbachev, Nelson Mandela, Jimmy Carter, Martin Luther King, Henri La Fontaine, Aung San Suu Kyi, and Woodrow Wilson. Those listed and others have received a Nobel Peace Prize.
Between 1901 and 2023, the Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded 104 times to 141 Nobel Prize laureates, 111 individuals and 30 organizations. Now New York Republican Representative Claudia Tenney wants President Trump to be recognized for his historic Abraham Accords.
The A group of men standing on a table holding papers Description automatically generated September 15, 2020 agreement established peace and normal diplomatic relations between Israel and United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. Soon after the Abraham Accords were announced, other Arab and Muslim states wanted to be part of this important event, including Kosovo, Morocco and Sudan. Imagine the peace and tranquility there would be in the Middle East today if the 2020 presidential election hadn’t been stolen via election fraud from Trump.
There would NOT have been a horrific Hamas October 7 attack on Israel. American military personnel would NOT continually be attacked with some service members KILLED. The world would NOT be on the verge of World War III. Pictured: President Donald J. Trump, joined by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bahrain Dr. Abdullatif bin Rashid Al-Zayani, listen as the Minister of Foreign Affairs for the United Arab Emirates Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyani addresses his remarks at the Abraham Accords signing Tuesday, Sept. 15, 2020, on the South Lawn of the White House.
EUROPE IS DISAPPEARING
Europeans Will Succumb to Islam by Raymond Ibrahim
 |
In fact, the actual current and future numbers of Muslims appear to be higher, though there are no official tallies. For example, in an earlier, 2011 study, Pew Research found that “The number of Muslims in Europe has grown from 29.6 million in 1990 to 44.1 million in 2010. Europe’s Muslim population is projected to exceed 58 million by 2030.”
Clearly 58 million in five years’ time is more significant than 76 million in 25 years’ time. Not only is mass migration responsible for Islam’s exponential growth in Europe, but once there, the average Muslim woman has significantly more children than the average European woman. “Muhammad” is taking West Europe by storm as the number one name for newborn baby boys.
MaaBen clearly knows what is happening to his country and the rest of Europe. Read Maaben’s quote below about Germany and ask yourself if the same words could apply to the United States. Ask yourself if this is exactly what Joe Biden and his socialist puppeteers are doing with our open southern border that has allowed 7 to 10 million ILLEGAL ALIEN INVADERS to enter our country with more coming every day! [O]ur politicians want a different population.
The political left follows the course of the anti-German ideology. The more heterogeneous a population, the less able it is to articulate itself and have a democratic say. The more politics accept immigrants from other countries as they see fit and grants them citizenship, the more politics select the people of the state and influence the election results.
These migrants vote differently than the locals. It’s not just Europe. Last week, a dozen Christian children from the Apostolic Faith School in Ekiti State, Nigeria were kidnapped from their school bus by Islamist Fulani militias. Let us know when the “squad” and United Nations comments on these regular attacks on Christians … we’ll wait.
Other things to consider: The House is usually very divided but on January 31, the House voted 422-2-1 on the No Immigration Benefits for Hamas Terrorists Act. Democrat Illinois Representative Delia Ramirez voted present. Two Democrats who want Hamas terrorists to enter the United States (and maybe they have already via our open southern border) are: Michigan Representative Rashida Tlaib and Missouri Representative Cori Bush.
PRIMARY: Vote early or on Election Day? - Super Tuesday is one month from today. Even if former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley ridiculously remains in the race (hoping Trump is forced to drop out due to prison or health), she is NOT going to be the Republican nominee. Remember, all the other candidates SUSPENDED their campaigns, and those campaigns can be unsuspended. Surely, there are other presidential candidates that America First Patriots would rally around. However, we are confident that Donald Trump will jubilantly win most/all of the primaries to become America’s 47th president.
Ignoring Haley, which is easy to do, the big question for voters is when to submit their ballot. Choices in California are:
- Vote as soon as you receive your ballot (via dropping your ballot at the Registrar of Voters, mailing at the post office, or giving to someone you trust to deliver to the ROV); or,
- Vote in person with a paper ballot on or close to Election Day.
Yikes! This is like asking us to pick between a hot fudge sundae and banana split!
These are some of the states that allow elections to be conducted by mail: California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, and Washington, along with the District of Columbia. Some states, such as Washington, ONLY offer voting by mail. Other states offer choices (mail, ballot boxes or vote in person).
As you decide what to do, consider that in September 2023, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was on Tucker Carlson’s X/Twitter show and explained exactly how Democrats stole the 2020 election. Paxton said what most of us knew: the theft happened when they stopped counting the votes. Following that explosive interview Collin Rugg, founder of Trending Politics, posted on X/Twitter:
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton explains how Democrats stole the election in 2020 when they stopped counting votes on election night. These are the interviews Tucker would have never been able to have with Fox News. Paxton explained that vote counting stopped in toss up states, so Democrats knew how many mail in ballots they needed to win.
“They needed to figure out was how many real votes there were so they could figure out how many mail-in ballots to apply to the election. That’s what they would’ve done in Texas. I’m convinced.”
This would explain how Trump won 80% of bellwether counties yet lost the election. Election Integrity Project California (EIPCa), which has been fighting for election integrity for more than 14 years, states on its website: Vote in person with a hand-marked paper ballot, on or close to Election Day.
"Let me be clear about this. A great majority of our members will NOT vote for President Biden. Yes, some will, but that's the reality of this. The majority of our members are gonna vote for their paychecks, they're gonna vote for an economy that works for them." —United Auto Workers Union (UAW) President Shawn Fain following the UAW endorsing Joe Biden Fox News—January 25, 2024
PRESIDENTIAL: - RINO Haley helping Democrats On the REPUBLICAN side, in the New Hampshire primary 70 percent of Nikki Haley’s votes were from Democrat or non-affiliated voters. If Haley expects the same turnout in South Carolina at the Republican primary on February 24, she will be very disappointed.
Since the Palmetto state was the first official Democrat primary, held on February 3, the jackass party was eager to show that Joe “Big Guy” Biden has what it takes to be re-elected. Thus, unlike New Hampshire, there wasn’t a major push on the left to vote for Haley over Trump. Biden won with 96.2% of the vote. Marianne Williamson had 2.1% and Dean Phillips 1.7%.
It wasn’t unexpected. It’s the experience of South Carolina Republican leadership that most people vote in their party even if they can cross over. According to former South Carolina Republican Party Chairman Katon Dawson:
“Democrats do not vote in Republican primaries here, just like Republicans won’t vote in Democratic primaries. We tried and tried and tried. I spent money doing it. We found there was not much there.”
Also on the REPUBLICAN side, Never Trumper Koch Brothers’ Americans for Prosperity Action PAC plans to keep plowing money into Nikki Haley’s losing presidential campaign. Billionaire hedge fund manager Ken Griffin donated a total of $5 million to Haley between December and January.
Why aren’t they donating to the Trump campaign so Republicans can win in November? Because they hate America First Patriots and the man who started the MAGA movement: Donald Trump. In our opinion, they would be just as happy if Biden (or any Democrat) sits in the White House.
On the INDEPENDENT side, to make sure his name is on the ballot in all 50 states, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is considering running as a Libertarian. Speaking on CNN, Kennedy said:
“That is something that we’re looking at. We have a really good, relationship with the Libertarian Party. I’m going to be speaking at the California Libertarian Party convention. I think it’s next week or maybe in a couple of weeks. And, we’re talking about me talking about me speaking in New York.”
CA SENATE: Schiff wants to run against Garvey, not Porter On the DEMOCRAT side, Representative Adam Schiff is doing everything he can to elevate Steve Garvey to the top two spots so that he doesn’t have to run against fellow Democrat Katie Porter in the general election.
Democrats do not want to have two high profile Democrats, Schiff and Porter, running in the general campaign. That would force Democrats to spend a lot of money in the Schiff vs Porter fight … money they could use to go after Republicans in down ballot races.
Let’s say Schiff is #1 in the primary voting and Garvey comes in at #2. That would happen only because the Democrat vote was split among Schiff, Porter and Lee. Does anyone think that any Porter and Lee voters would vote for Garvey in the November election? Of course they wouldn’t!
Schiff is running television ads that elevate Garvey, who lacks the financial resources for a statewide television and radio ad campaign. Excerpts from various news sources that shows Schiff wants Garvey as his November opponent: POLITICO—article by Christopher Cadelago.
Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff is making it crystal clear who he would rather run against in November, releasing a new TV ad Thursday that contrasts himself with Republican former Major League ballplayer Steve Garvey.
Garvey, a first-time contender with little chance of winning an election in deep blue California, has barely raised enough money to run an operation and lacks the resources to air TV ads of his own. The assist from Schiff — which sends a strong signal to Republican voters in the state that Garvey should be their choice — comes just as the GOP candidate and Democrat Katie Porter are battling for a second-place finish on March 5 to advance to the fall runoff.
DEADLINE—article by Ted Johnson
Pundits have long been saying that it would be in Schiff’s interest to have Garvey, or any GOPer, as a general election rival in November, rather than face an intra-party squabble with Porter or Lee. No Republican has been elected statewide in California since 2006.
LOS ANGELES TIMES—article by Seema Mehta and Benjamin Oreskes
“It’s pretty clear Schiff is trying to bolster Garvey’s credibility as his opponent in the runoff and then Schiff can take the rest of the summer off,” said Democratic political consultant Garry South, who ran Gov. Gray Davis’ successfull 2002 reelection campaign.
DAILY KOS—article by Jeff Singer
With just over a month to go before California's top-two primary, Rep. Adam Schiff is airing ads in the hopes of ensuring that his opponent in the November general election is a Republican rather than a fellow Democrat. The move, which comes just days before election officials begin mailing out ballots for the March 5 contest, is aimed at helping Schiff avert what would be an expensive and unpredictable all-Democratic race for the state's open Senate seat.
Make it a Schiff vs Porter Race! Do not vote for Steve Garvey! Vote for James Bradley, Eric Early or Denice Gary-Pandol!
HOW GOV’T “HELPS”: In blue states like California, where the government dictates higher wages, fast-food restaurants will soon have to increase their starting pay to $20 an hour. Of course, that bumps up everyone else in the restaurant. That’s why we weren’t surprised to go into a local fish eatery and rather than the usual greeting by two friendly employees ready to take our order, we found two kiosks. Employers must keep the staff that cooks the meals, but they don’t need workers to take orders. Thanks to government interference in the marketplace, those entry level positions are now gone.
Joey keeps telling us that Bidenomics is doing great. Maybe he’s right – here is the proof:
- Amazon (delivery) – The Buy with Prime unit will lay off about 5 percent of its employees. The Audiobook and podcast division Audible is also laying off 5 percent of its workforce. The streaming and studio operations announced that several hundred employees will be let go. Its streaming unit Twitch has cut 35 percent of its staff (about 500 workers).
- Business Insider (media) – Announced it would trim its workforce by 8 percent.
- eBay (e-commerce) – Plans to cut 1,000 roles, approximately 9 percent of its current workforce.
- Levi Strauss (clothing) – Will slash 10 - 15 percent of its global corporate workforce in the first half of 2024.
- The Los Angeles Times (media) – Laid off 20 percent of its workforce (115 employees).
- PayPal (online payment) – Will reduce its global workforce by about 9 percent (2,500 employees).
- Salesforce (technology) – Is saying goodbye to approximately 700 employees or 1 percent of its global workforce.
- Strand Therapeutics (biopharma) – Has laid off 18 percent of its staff or 19 of its 108 employees.
- TikTok (video hosting) – Will reduce its advertising and sales units by 60 jobs.
- Time Magazine (media) – Slashed dozens of staffers.
-
UPS (delivery) – Announced on January 30 they were cutting 12,000 jobs (3 percent of its worldwide workforce). Could this be connected to the recent union contract where UPS had to increase drivers’ wages?
BUYCOTT: Let’s order from Pizza Hut!
In the mood for pizza? We suggest supporting Pizza Hut. The international chain is facing a boycott after it supplied Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) with pizza. It started when Pizza Hut Israel’s Instagram account reposted a photo from the user alex_shults which shows two Israel Defense Force soldiers smiling while holding several Pizza Hut boxes. Yeah, you guessed it. The pro-Hamas terrorists crowd then started posting demands for a boycott.
Pizza Hut’s corporate office is in Texas. Will pro-terrorist lunatics go nuts if the chain delivers pizza to the Texas National Guard or Border Patrol Agents?! To share your thoughts with Pizza Hut CEO Aaron Powell:

RIP RIP CURL: Prefers trans instead of a woman. Bethany Hamilton has surfed since she was 8 years old. When she was 13, she lost an arm in a shark attack, but returned to her beloved sport. The 2011 movie “Soul Surfer” is based on her amazing life. Hamilton was the face of Rip Curl, a popular Australian surf lifestyle apparel brand. That is until she said that biological men should not be allowed to compete in women’s surfing competition.
Well, you know what happened next. According to Daily Mail, Rip Curl told Hamilton to ride a wave somewhere else. In late January, a GUY who likes to act like a GAL, aka transgender, was featured on Rip Curl’s Instagram profile as the company promotes its new campaign: “Meet the Local Heroes of Western Australia.”
Almost immediately, the outcry was against the insanity of having a MAN portraying a WOMAN! The company quickly pulled the ad, but in today’s viral society, stories don’t disappear.
Want a hero? It’s Bethany Hamilton! She not only returned to surfing after losing an arm, but she stood strong for GIRLS AND WOMEN. Leading the way for girls and women’s sports, to stop being infested by men, is Riley Gaines who tweeted on X/Twitter:
You mean to tell me @ripcurl dropped Bethany Hamilton for opposing men surfing in the women's league then picked up male surfer who surfs in the women's league as a women's ambassador?
Encouraging to see so many people reply that they're throwing out their Ripcurl apparel and pledging not to buy from them again. I didn't know people still wore Ripcurl anyways,

Patriot Neighbors welcomes sharing readers’ opinions.
Politicians Think They Know Better Than You, by Susie Hirchag — California
When any state, county or city government creates an “ordinance” or rule for the “Public Safety and Welfare” of its citizens and the foolhardy citizens actually believe the ordinance is there for the “good” and protection of their communities….they should expect at some time in the future if taken over by Democrats & Republicans alike it will be used to take away freedoms and rights of every citizen in the country and in the same way Gov. Newsome did in CA but did not live by the rule himself.
It has been used many times on the basis of denying property rights of private citizens in wanting to build something or businesses simply trying to make a living. It has been used against property owners to extrapolate money for “good causes” in order to negotiate approval of simple development like building a home or adding a remodel to a home as an example because your neighbors don’t want it built or they don’t like the placement of a window on a plan.
Citizens should never be fooled again by politicians using the Term “Public Health and Safety”. It is a broad over reach term used to take away freedom and rights of ordinary citizens. Keep in mind this is other citizens who have been elected with generally no experience in the field for which they are making a decision (based solely on who is donating to their campaign & pushing for this ordinance to be imposed on you) imposing their will on YOU!. The vaccine is an example of what elected officials can do to erode freedom in America.
The choice of whom we elect in the future is fundamental to freedom in our state and country. Remember most of them think they know better than you what is good for you i.e. the John Kerry’s & Bill Gates of the world.
No To Super Bowl Black Anthem, by Gene Deutscher, Texas. Letter to the Temple Daily Editor
So, the NFL has announced the Black National Anthem will be played at the Super Bowl. Is it marketing genius or just plan dumb? I opine the later. Why would it do so? Remember segregation and the politics of ending it? Remember "One Nation, Under God?" I left professional sports after the taking a knee debacle. Remember taking a knee? Colin Kaepernick ring a bell? Same thing happened in the NBA. Yo, LeBron. Read " Why I Stand." This young man had the courage to do the right thing as a NBA player. I will not be watching not even for the hyped overpriced commercials or the ridiculous half time propaganda. Proposal for Goddell...just change the name, not the initials. Negro Football League and play the Black National Anthem at every game. Think you will be in business long? You want segregation? It can happen.
ARE WE NOW A SOCIALIST NATION?
Some recent events that make us wonder if the republic can be saved.
CONNECTICUT—In a 5-3 vote, the Stamford Board of Education voted to REMOVE Columbus Day and Veterans Day from the list of school holidays in an effort to shorten the school year. (Did they replace them with Karl Marx Day and Fidel Castro Day?) To contact Stamford Board of Education Secretary and Labor Chair Andy George:
Email: ageorge@stamfordct.gov Write: Stamford Gov’t. Center, 888 Washington Blvd., Stamford, CT 06909
- TEXAS—To date, George Soros, the billionaire socialist who seeks to destroy democracy wherever he goes, has spent $3 MILLION (with more to come) to turn Texas blue. Soros uses the nonprofit Open Society Foundation (OSF) to distribute financial contributions to progressives. In 2018, Soros helped finance Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke in his campaign against Ted Cruz. Cruz only won by three points! In Texas! Three points! Yikes! Soros (and other progressive groups) are sure to spend a lot of money this year in Cruz’s re-election bid. If Texas ever flipped, there would be no hope for Republicans ever winning the presidency. Before you shake your head saying, ‘it will never happen in Texas,’ remember that California was once deep red as was Colorado. Also consider that not everyone relocating to the Lone Star state are conservatives.
- USA—Americans who want to film themselves having sex inside the U.S. Congress will be pleased to learn that the two gay staffers who were filmed having sex in the Hart Senate Office Building won’t face ANY charges. This decision is from the same Capitol Police that held doors open for Patriots on January 6 to enter the U.S. Capitol just so afterwards the alphabet agencies could go after the America First Patriots.
- IOWA—For those packing their bags and leaving blue states for what they consider more sane red states, consider that a Christian Navy veteran who “beheaded” a satanic statue in the Iowa Capitol has been charged with a felony hate crime. Under state rules allowing religious displays in the Capitol during the holidays, the display was put up by the Satanic Temple of Iowa. If this had been California or New York, you would shake your head knowing those are insane progressive states, but this is IOWA! To share your thoughts with Iowa Republican Governor Kim Reynolds:
Click here to contact Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds. Phone: 515-281-5211 Write: Iowa State Capitol, 1007 East Grand Avenue, Des Moines IA 50319
IS THE TIDE TURNING TO FREEDOM? With our prayers and involvement, we must have hope of saving our republic. Let’s look at some recent wins that show the tide might be turning in the direction of Conservative Judeo-Christian values. However, we need Republican LEADERSHIP, which seems to be in short supply.
NBC/MSNBC—Another “go woke, go broke” story. The Peacock network keeps losing money. In 2023, it LOST a whopping $2.7 BILLION. In 2022, the Peacock network lost a staggering $2.5 BILLION. It’s domestic subscriber base is about 30 million compared to Netflix, which has about 80 million subscribers. Maybe the network will start reporting the news rather than censuring it.
SEN. LANKFORD AIN’T OK IN OK—Over the last weekend in January, some members of the Oklahoma GOP put out a news release that they had passed a resolution stating they would no longer support Senator James Lankford due to his working with Democrat Senate Leader Chuck Schumer on a (lousy) border deal. The deal was going to provide cover for Joe “Dementia” Biden! Why are Republicans doing this?
On Monday, the OKGOP State Committee said the censure was not official. President Donald Trump said: “I didn’t need a big, complex Democrat-oriented bill, which will make Republicans look bad. I just closed the border and had, by far, the safest border in the history of our country.” It does not matter … news is out there that REPUBLICAN Lankford wants to make nice with the same group of people who brought us the border catastrophe.
Just remember, President Trump never needed to have a bill passed in order to secure our southern border. Trump adhered to existing laws and what did you know, the border was secured! To share your thoughts with Sen. Lankford: Contact: here to contact Oklahoma Senator James Lankford - Phone: 202-224-5754 - Write: 316 Hart Senate Office Building Washington DC 20510
INTERNATIONAL: FRANCE—Serge Bousquet-Cassagne, who heads the French farmers’ association, told his members that he is very proud of them for standing together against President Emmanuel Macron’s government plans that don’t go far enough to help farmers. According to France24: Farmers’ complaints range from rising costs to meeting carbon-cutting targets, fuel prices, inflation, bureaucracy, and Ukrainian grain imports.
Editor' Note: Robin always ends her newsletter with some selected humorous thoughts. Here are the ones I chose. RK
- Joe Biden’s mind is like a web browser. 19 tabs are open, 17 are frozen, and he has no idea where the music is coming from.
- Biden will never get my guns because I keep them upstairs.
- Biden is what happens when you order a president by mail.
- Liberals demand gun control after every shooting, but never border control after every rape or murder by an illegal alien!
- James Woods: If 7 million potential Republican voters were strolling across our southern border, there would be tanks parked on the Rio Grande and helicopter gunships in the air.
And finally this one, and I really thought this was funny.
I was in Walmart using the restroom and just as I closed my stall door, a voice from the next stall said:“Hi! How are you?”
Embarrassed … I answered, “I’m alright.”
The voice said, “So, what are you up to?”
I responded, “Ummm, just trying to handle a little private business over here!”
Then I hear, “Can I come over?”
Annoyed, I said, “Excuse me!?!?!”
Then the voice said, “Listen, I will have to call you back. There’s an idiot in the next stall answering all my questions!”
As I said I really thought this was funny because I find it reminds me of talking to a leftist. Loud, obnoxious, intrusive, oblivious to others, arrogant, and clueless! Hmmmmm, maybe that's not so funny after all. Waddyathink?
