Don't Let The Crowds Fool You: Culture is King and Corruption is Queen

"Around 25,000 cheering Bronx citizens attended a Trump rally, and it shocked Democrats, after all, this is New York, this can't be happening!  The governor of New York called them "a bunch of clowns", and the media insisted it doesn't mean anything."  

 By Rich Kozlovich

As my regular readers know I'm a real fan of American Thinker, which I consider one of the very best news sites in the nation.  On May 25th Monica Showalter, one of my favorite writers, posted this piece, What the Bronx voters who've flipped to Trump are saying, quoting one of the attendees:

Jerry Evans, a registered Democrat in New York City, had never attended a political rally before Thursday.  But speaking with Newsweek at Donald Trump's campaign event in the South Bronx, Evans said that he turned out to show support for the former president because he feels "very strongly about how the border's going."...... "You know, I said, why is Biden giving them the red carpet treatment?"...... "He's giving them everything—giving them housing, giving them shelter, giving them money, cash—and people who live here can't get that."

She went on to ask:

How many thousands of them in that 25,000 crowd are thinking the same thing?

No matter how many are thinking along those lines, here's what we need to ask.  Is this enlightenment permanent?   Answer?  No, it isn't!  This is just an “it's my ox that's bring gored” reaction. If their ox wasn’t being gored they’d be just fine with Biden and all the corruption, insanity and treason being promoted by the left, it's part and parcel of their culture.  Make no mistake, both the masses and the rulers are a fickle and self serving lot, and to the point of being dangerous. 

On September 5, 1651 Oliver Cromwell's forces defeated the forces of Charles II.  Later as they were marching into London the crowds cheered vigorously, and one of his followers was enthralled with the cheering.  Cromwell put a reality damper on that saying: 

“Do not trust to the cheering, for those very persons would shout as much if you and I were going to be hanged.”

They're shocked that academia is a cultural, intellectual, and morally corrupt mephitic ooze of inbreeding, being led by grossly overpaid, blatantly incompetent DEI racists, and leftist/Marxist/anti-American ideologues, many of whom are now being exposed as plagiarists.  A ethically, intellectually and morally deficient cabal who have been turning out graduates who can't read, write, or have a working knowledge of history, geography, or how and why America is unique in all of world history.  They're not even competent in their fields of study.  And that it's been going on for decades.

So, don't let the cheering fool you.  People without a solid moral foundation have meandering values that allow them to rationalize their acts of self interest and corruption.   Cromwell defeated a corrupt King in 1651, and then had to dissolve Parliament in 1653 for becoming corrupt for their own ends.  When dissolving Parliament Oliver Cromwell made a statement that's totally applicable to our modern day state of corruption:

It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice. Ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government. Ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.

Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess? Ye have no more religion than my horse. Gold is your God. Which of you have not bartered your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?

Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defiled this sacred place, and turned the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices? Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation. You were deputed here by the people to get grievances redressed, are yourselves become the greatest grievance.

Your country therefore calls upon me to cleanse this Augean stable, by putting a final period to your iniquitous proceedings in this House; and which by God's help, and the strength he has given me, I am now come to do.

I command ye therefore, upon the peril of your lives, to depart immediately out of this place. Go, get you out! Make haste! Ye venal slaves be gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors.  In the name of God, go!

Two questions that need to be asked and answering:

• Does Cromwell's vile description of that Parliament then a fit description of the political figures sitting in positions of power and authority today? 
•  If so; do really think term limits are bad? 

Here are three quotes of my own I think are appropriate for this or any other discussion in order to define reality.  

1. The patterns of life repeat over and over again.
2. Life is about patterns and circles.  Patterns of behavior and the social circles that create that behavior.
3. History, reality, time and truth are on the same side.  
4. Truth isn't unkind. It's just the truth. 
5. People will always be people.  
6. Corruption is the offspring of power, and if that power goes unchecked, then the true child of power emerges:  Tyranny!

It's The Discipline Stupid!

By Rich Kozlovich

Over at American Thinker Joseph Cotto published this piece, The Problem With Leftist Women noting:

Leftist women show a striking tolerance for infidelity that sets them apart from their conservative counterparts.

He went on to describe the differences between women with traditional values versus the hypocrisy of these leftist harridans, which exposes the real issue behind their lack of happiness.  It's their lack of discipline that creates their unhappiness.  They lack discipline because they lack stable foundational values.  Adults in many ways are just large children. 

Brats are out of control children whose parents refuse to place or enforce borders on their conduct.  Children need structure.  Borders need to be put in place and enforced in order for them to be content…… and on an emotional level they actually want those borders.   Children are bad for a reason; it's the job! It's the job of parents to straighten them out. How else can they understand their are some things that are unacceptable otherwise?   That's when values are created.  

Well…truth be told, that desire for structure, values and understanding is genetic, and that need never really goes away.  When that need isn't fulfilled you get a life filled with chaos.  

The left has created a mentality of “if it feels good do it”!  In women they promoted a mentality of “you can have it all”, and "we don't need men".  Once they embraced that they threw all the traditional values out the window, irrespective of the inevitable negative consequences.  Huge numbers of women in western civilization have bought into it, and they keep making the same wrong decisions over and over again. 

This has been the consequence of leftist schemes to destroy the foundational structure of a stable society, the family.  As a destabilized society is far more easier to take over and control, which is the real goal of leftists. 

These attitudes expressed by leftist women in this article are antithetical to what men actually want, and as time goes by men are becoming acutely aware they’re on the dirty end of the stick.  They're tired of it, and it’s genetic! 

When it comes to women, young men are stupid, but most will get over that with time.  But women are all Eve’s daughters, and for these leftist misfits, time is not on their side.   These younger men who are embracing this insanity will at some point be over 30, and when that happens the brain restructures itself, and a large number of them will become far more conservative, will find and marry women with traditional values, and these leftist women will be all alone, and hopefully their genetic code will be lost to time.

 

Trump claims election fraud was covered up...Is he right?

Joe Fried CPA Jul 22, 2026, This appeared at Joe Fried CPA Election Central

We have all heard it many times. According to “journalists,” claims made by President Trump regarding election cheating are “unfounded,” “disproven,” and/or “debunked.” However, irrefutable evidence of large-scale 2020 election fraud exists.

On Thursday night, the President outlined four specific areas of election concern. I’d like to address one of them: Corrupt Michigan voter registrations in the 2020 election. Trump said: “Even when significant evidence of fraud has been detected, it has been buried and covered up.”

The President is correct: Wide-spread evidence of Michigan fraud was detected before the 2020 election. After it was discovered and reviewed by the FBI, it was concealed by the Biden DOJ. I know this because I had access to the numerous DOJ email communications pertaining to this subterfuge.

The scandal is discovered

Shortly before the 2020 election, a woman walked into a Muskegon County (MI) election office and submitted 8 to 10 thousand voter registration applications. An alert election clerk named Ann Meisch noticed that many of the applications were extremely suspicious, with birth-dates, addresses, and signatures that did not match the information on related drivers licenses.

Meisch and co-workers made a largely unsuccessful effort to verify the information by calling phone numbers on questionable applications. The matter was then turned over to Muskegon local police and state authorities.

The police noted that “numerous forms appeared to have been completed by the same writer…” and “phone numbers on multiple forms were erroneous and signatures on multiple forms didn’t appear to match signatures on file….” They briefly investigated the matter before the probe was turned over to the FBI. It was then squelched, almost immediately, by the Biden Department of Justice.

The story went dark for almost 3 years until the Gateway Pundit (GP) published a series of articles based upon state and city police reports. Here is a short recap of the GP reporting, followed by some confidential information that has not been widely reported.

• The woman who submitted the registration applications has the name Brianna Hawkins, and was paid $1150 per week, given a rental car, and a “reloadable pay card.” Her job was to register voters and help them use the registrations to get ballots.

• The company she worked for was a Tennessee organization with the name, GBI Strategies. It had numerous branches and activities in many areas of Michigan, and in other locations in the United States.

• GBI had very close ties to high-ranking Democrats and left-leaning groups. A police investigation stated or implied that, in 2018, GBI was paid $188,000 by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, $1,571,000 by the Doug Jones for Senate Committee, and $657,000 by the left-wing New American Jobs Fund.

• During their investigation, the police found several “semi-automatic rifles joined with suppressors and optics and customized pistols.” Why they were there is a mystery.

• The police also found “dozens of new phones” and hundreds of “prepaid payment cards.” [Why hundreds? Were people being paid with the cards if they registered and voted?]

• GBI employees told police investigators that they never advocated that people vote for Joe Biden or any particular candidate. However, police saw a script in the GBI office that encouraged people to vote for Joe Biden. For example, it asked, “can I count on you to vote for Joe Biden?”

• City police went door-to-door to confirm that the registration forms possessed by GBI were fraudulent.

• Ruth Johnson, a former state senator and former secretary of state stated: “My estimate is over 800,000 ballot applications were sent to non-qualified voters in Michigan.”

Phony registrations, no ID, and no signature checking

To fully understand the scale of this corruption, and the significance of the phony registrations, you need to know how easily they can be converted into votes.

• Although Michigan law required a voter to request a ballot application, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson ignored the law, and she automatically mailed out 7.7 million ballot applications to everyone who was registered, including 4 million who were not planning to vote absentee, and those with the phony registrations obtained by GBI. No ID was required.

• The only voting safeguard in Michigan (a weak one at that) was signature matching. However, Secretary Benson unlawfully told election clerks throughout Michigan to “presume” signatures matched, and most did. Fortunately, Ann Meisch, the woman who discovered the scandal, ignored Benson’s unlawful instructions.

• Four months after the election, Benson’s instructions were ruled to be invalid by a state judge. The mainstream media ignored that ruling. No appeal was filed by Secretary Benson.

The Biden Department of Justice kills the investigation

Before the 2020 election, FBI agents knew that the real number of phony registrations could be several times larger than the 8,000 to 10,000 registrations originally reported. I read the emails and have the specific names of those agents. I will not name them here because they may still be government-restricted.

At least one official reported that the number of phony registrations could change the election results. Another agent proposed interviewing 100 individuals who served as canvassers of 2020 registration information.

Nevertheless, Richard Pilger, the man in charge of the DOJ’s Election Crimes Branch, blocked any investigation of the matter prior to election certification. He claimed that he was blocking the action based on a long-standing government policy (Justice Manual 95-85.300). However, a careful reading of the manual shows that investigations should be delayed only when they are “overt” — meaning that they would become widely known by the public and could influence the election. Interviews of individual canvassers, examination of documents, and other investigatory actions would not be barred. Pilger must have known that.

Conclusion

• Registration applications were obtained by GBI in multiple cities in Michigan and elsewhere. It is clear that some of the registrations were fabricated or obtained by trickery.

• In some instances, legitimate registrations may have been obtained, but via illegal financial inducements.

• When the Secretary of State auto-mailed ballot applications to 7.7 million registrants, the people with phony registrations also received ballot applications.

• Because 4 million voters did not expect to receive a ballot application (because they never asked for one), those applications ended up in trash cans and landfills where they were easily available to political operatives.

• The registrants (the real ones and the phony ones) could fill out the application forms and obtained ballots – without showing identification.

• Because of the unlawful instructions of Jocelyn Benson, all signatures on ballot applications were “presumed” to be legitimate.

• A review of FBI/DOJ correspondence shows that some officials were very concerned about GBI, and wanted to investigate before the 2020 election. However, Richard Pilger, the Director of the Election Crimes Branch, blocked any such investigation until after the election. Perhaps he feared that such an investigation would give credibility to President Trump’s claims of election fraud.

How many Michigan votes were created by GBI? How many were produced by Jocelyn Benson’s unlawful mass mailing of ballot applications and by her unlawful signature instructions? It is impossible to know.

That is why it was wrong to certify the 2020 Michigan election.

Election 2028: How many Declared Candidates Are There For President of the United States?

 By Rich Kozlovich 

During the run up to the 2024 election I ran a number of articles on that election.  Actually a lot of articles.  Taken together they would have amounted to an 170 page Word document. In one of them I stated:

As the 2024 Election is only eight months away we're seeing more hyperbolic lies, obfuscation, misdirection, and quite frankly, irrational and blatantly insane rhetoric supporting insane positions than I've seen in my almost 78 years.  What really surprises me is how many seemingly normal people are confused about who they think will be the best candidate for President or even Congress.  

Well, I'm 80 now, and the "hyperbolic lies, obfuscation, misdirection, and quite frankly, irrational and blatantly insane rhetoric supporting insane positions" spouted then was mild compared to the insanity we're seeing unfold today.

One series of articles dealt with all the candidates for President: Runners, Joggers, and Vocal Spectators: Election 2024, Part 1, Part II, Part III, Part IV, Part V, Part VI, and Part VII with my take on the 2024 Presidential run.  Also one with my analysis of the Senate races.  Given the fact that prediction.... especially about the future.... is really hard, I didn't do too badly. For some reason this one was been hit a lot yesterday, Runners, Joggers, and Vocal Spectators: Election 2024, Part VII.  Obviously this essay was number seven in a series, and as stated in that article it dealt with:

"Third party/Independent/Moderate Party candidates, and just plain odd characters, including some Republicans."   

Well, that got me to thinking: How many candidates are already registered to run for President in 2028?  Well, it's just a mere 337, imagine that, and we've not even had the 2026 midterm election yet.  For a bit of comparison, as of August 2015 here are how many registered candidates were running for President in 2016. At that point there were only 88.   Now, that's a really big difference.... and some big names were on that list... and don't ask me why there's such a big difference in numbers since I have no idea and I didn't create this list,  Also....don't ask me to explain what it means to be "registered" because I have no idea what that entails.  

 At any rate, I broke down this list for 2028 to make it comprehensible.  

Ace Party	1
American Independent Conservative Party	1
American Independent Party	7
Citizens' Party	2
Constitution Party	1
Democratic Party	74
Federalist Party	1
Green party	2
Independence Party	3
Independent Party	140
Independent American Party	1
Libertarian Party	6
No Party Affiliation	2
No Party Preference	1
One Earth Party	1
People Over Politics Party	2
Progressive Party	1
Republican Party	78
The Human Rights Party	1
Unaffiliated	10
United Party	1
Veteran's Party	1
	337

This is a list of "registered" candidates with no chance of getting in on debates, nominated, and most certainly not getting elected.  

Here is a list of the big name Democrats being touted, none of which have registered as far as I can tell, and truthfully, it seems to me with the possible exception of three of four, none of them will be nominated.

Here's the list of the big name Republicans being touted none of which is registered as far as I can tell, and with the exception of Vance or Rubio, none of them will be nominated, including Ted Cruz or Ron DeSantis.  But compared to the Democrat list... this is an impressive crowd.

Elise Stefanik, U.S. representative from New York^[1]

J.D. Vance, vice president^[25]

Glenn Youngkin, former governor of Virginia^[25]

Since none of the big names are on the "registered" list,  you know that list will change dramatically by this time next year, and most certainly by this time in 2028, but I thought it was worth taking a look at anyway.  

P&D and The Week That Was

I've posted 14 pieces this week.  I'm a bit shocked as I didn't realize how much I've posted since Sunday.  So much for not wanting to work.  While I'm still working to purge my files, and I'm well along, except the world keeps doing stuff.  They just won't stop, and the files tend to grow.   At this point I'm only wanting to post my own pieces, but here's a bonus piece from another author.   Regular readers know my views on the nation's first fascist president, Woodrow Wilson, so here's a bonus piece worth your time.  Woodrow Wilson’s War Against the Constitution.

Election 2026 and Voter Fraud is Real

"You know that little voice in your head that keeps you from saying the things you shouldn't say? Yeah, I don't have that!"

By Rich Kozlovich, Tags: My Voter Fraud Commentaries.

Is Maine reflective of all the kind of candidates being offered by the Democrats?  I think it is, as an example take Katie Porter.  While she's now out of it that doesn't change how unhinged she is and was right along.  The rest just hide their .... quirks.... better.  Otherwise people might think they're nuts.  Talking about nuts; there's James Talarico who now claims Christians are ‘Christofascists’ and Islam is a “path to truth”.  Yessir, he's really got a handle on faith, and how to win Texans over.  

Maine Democrats just had a debate with those wanting to take Planter's place as the Democrat candidate for 2026...... and to be kind.... it appears it was a remarkable clown show.  As one writer said before this debate he had trouble understanding how Planter got chosen in the first place, now he gets it.  

• Update 6:05 PM:  Here's how Planter got picked.  This Is What's Happening to the Consultants Who Made Graham Platner.  It's almost unbelievable just how incompetent the Democrat party really is. And here's the scary part that's seemingly going on all over the nations: "If Platner hadn’t been a total scumbag, he would have had a fighting chance as an outsider to win the race."  And that's the theme.... the desire for outsiders!  That's a theme being ignored by everyone except these activists.  I'll have more on that, and the DNC needs to be scared.  

Dems Find An Even Worse Candidate to Replace Graham Platner (VIDEO).  (Ya just gotta see the video) And the hits just keep on coming...... Maine, if this is your best, you have a problem.  The Maine Dem Senate debate could be summed up in seven words:

......."congratulations on your reelection, Sen. Susan Collins"........."The candidates, a motley crew of losers, were a healthy helping of milquetoast—they didn’t know anything"......

1.  Platner Proves Dems Will Put Up With Anything, Except Losing
2.  ‘Ginger Goebbels’: Jen Psaki Is ENRAGED for All of Us About the Whole Graham Platner
3.  If Only Democrats Had Some Sign of Platner’s Dubious Character
4.  Platner Is a Hilarious Symptom of Progressive Failure

Trump has declared the U.S. election system is ‘broken’ and ‘vulnerable’, and has called on the FBI to investigate ‘significant evidence of fraud’ in Michigan 2020 election. 

In 2024 I wrote:

 ........the battle in Michigan over voter fraud is hot and it's being claimed Michigan has about  500,000 on voter rolls other than eligible voters.   The "New RNC", that's working to end this corruption.   In March the RNC filed an election integrity lawsuit targeting Michigan’s handling of absentee ballots  and it appears they've won that ballot case: .......making this their tenth win against Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson"for failing to follow the state's election security law.  Detroit appointed seven times more Democrat poll watchers than Republicans for its primary election, and the RNC Sues Detroit, Alleging City Did Not Hire Enough Republican Poll Watchers.  

That was in 2024, so I really get a kick out of this especially since my Michigan voter fraud file goes back to 2020.  And they're just now discovering it?  Remarkable!

• WATCH: President Trump Lays Bare Massive GBI Strategies Fake Voter Registration Scam in His Nationwide Address—The Gateway Pundit Broke The Story in August 2023

He also stated classified documents show China has actively interfered, and compromised’ at least 18 state voter rolls, which of course they're really upset over Trump’s "false allegations saying:

“This is a false allegation and serious smear that has long been proved to be unfounded. China adheres to non-interference in other countries’ internal affairs,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian told reporters during his briefing. “We never interfere in U.S. elections and have zero interest in that.”

Oh sure, they may murder a bunch of malcontents in order to harvest their organs but nothing so terrible as interfering with a U.S. election in spite of the release of the documents that proving otherwise.

 

“As the documents we are releasing show, CIA reporting explicitly stated, ‘in mid-2018, the Chinese communist party’s policy was to leverage all domestic and foreign elements that were opposed to the U.S. president in an effort to reduce the U.S. president’s votes, and make him resign or prevent his reelection,” he said.

• Trump Speech: China Hacked 220 Million U.S. Voter Files 

Let's not have any delusions, in spite of all the ranting about how the 2020 election was clean.... it wasn't ...... and even the bug man knew that right from the beginning.  Trump states the only reason for the Congress to fail to pass the SAVE America Act is because they want to be able to cheat.  I can understand that for Democrats but what's wrong with the Republicans? 

1. Rep. Jim Jordan Says Senate Republicans Must Nuke the Filibuster Now to Pass SAVE America Act Before Democrats Do It Themselves
2. POLL SHOCKER: Socialism Is Infecting The GOP As Well 
3. Hey, Republicans, Spending Is Still Out Of Control

And of course Trump got the usual support from the Pravda media, they ignored him, and was the reason the Pravda media failed to cover his speech to protect their leftist masters?  The left believes the SAVE America Act ‘belongs in the trash’  And why does it belong in the trash?  Well, I gotta tell ya, I wonder if these nitwits realize what they're saying half the time.  Democrats Sen. Elissa Slotkin from Michigan stated the Save America Act was the Republicans way of rigging the election that would prevent Democrats from winning. 

 

“The other thing that we blocked yesterday was the SAVE Act, right?” she said to loud cheers. She claimed that act “would literally allow this administration to rig our democracy so that it would be hard for any Democrat in any state to win any election.” She also claimed it would “disenfranchise all married women in the meantime.” 

 

First of all, this disenfranchising married women claim is a blatant lie, and secondly, now let me see if I understand this correctly.   She's saying that making sure the people who are voting are actually alive and American citizens with the right to vote will prevent Democrats from getting elected.    Did I get that right?  I didn't miss anything did I?

1. Michigan Democrat Slotkin Admits The Liberal Truth: Is Anyone Listening?

So, that brings us back to my original question.  Is Maine reflective of all the candidates being offered by the Democrats? Let's take a quick look at the party, who they support, what they support and who they've decided to run.

Drowning in Debt Has Deadly Consequences

By Rich Kozlovich

While I've slowed in my efforts to publish I still pay attention to what's going on in the world and have a daily search pattern to find commentaries worth reading.  When you have a large daily search pattern scanning becomes necessary and a skill.   There are friends who still send me stuff, some of it's really good and some of it isn't.  Some of them are written articles and some are videos.   

I prefer written articles versus videos because I can quickly scan in a few seconds to determine if it's worth reading carefully  I don't like videos because I have to watch the whole thing to see if there's anything in it worth my time, and often times.... there isn't... and I wasted a half hour.   However, occasionally one comes along that's profound, provocative and worth everyone's time, and this is one of them.  The True Origin of the French Revolution: What Historians Get Wrong.

The nation is riding a wave of massive debt of 39 trillion dollars with interest payments of a trillion dollars a year..... and yet..... those in leadership positions are failing to address this monster.  And this doesn't count the massive debt the states are piling up.  It's as if they're wearing the same kind of self-serving blinders as did the French leadership that triggered the French Revolution.  And this is a worldwide problem of massive proportions coming to a global debt of 353 trillion dollars, much of it non-payable, and non-collectable.  

This can't go on.

Update, 7/17/26:

A 22 Percent Social Security Cut Is Coming. Will the Senate Act? - Many people will dislike reading this, I'm sure, and wonder why we can't just borrow to pay for the benefits. The answer is that between Social Security, Medicare, and interest payments, we're short by $115 trillion over 30 years. The moment Congress commits to that much borrowing, the likelihood of a historic inflation burst increases. Even this painful hike in the price level would not manage to devalue enough debt to save us, since Social Security benefits are indexed to inflation. The obligation would survive; retirees' bond portfolios and other assets would lose value...........

Heresy, Hypocrisy, Persecution, and Lunacy Incorporated

 By Rich Kozlovich Tags: The World's Nine Orders  

Let's start with heresy and hypocrisy.  

Recently Andrea Widburg published this piece over at American Thinker, The continued decline of the morally bankrupt Church of England saying "over the years, the Church of England has":

1. Ordained women as priests (which is unbiblical).
2. Ended all limitations on women serving in the church hierarchy. The current Archbishop of Canterbury (the head of the Church of England) is Sarah Mullally, who sort of supports same-sex relationships (unbiblical), is sort of pro-choice (un-traditional-Christian), and is very pro-refugee (anti-British). (Amazingly, she is opposed to assisted suicide.)
3. Approved of homosexuality as an acceptable behavior among the faithful.
4. Authorized the church to bless homosexual unions.
5. Allowed openly gay priests into the clergy.
6. Became very supportive of so-called transgenderism.
7. Went (and still goes) the extra mile for ecumenical relationships with Islam.

Given that the Church has allowed itself to be led by popular culture, rather than standing as a bulwark of firmly held Christian beliefs, it’s probably no surprise that only 10% of British people identify as members of the Church of England, with only 1% attending church every week. Once it became the Church of the BBC, it ceased to have spiritual value.

Well, it's not just the Anglican Church, Heretics Leave a Moral Foundation of Quicksand. The mainstream religions claiming to be Christian are twisting themselves into knots in an effort to appease people who don’t believe, and who rarely attend or don’t attend at all. There is no vile heresy they’re not embracing. Clearly they’re heretics, and if people are what they do, then secretly they must be atheists. Can there be any other conclusion? 

At this point we may be seeing a modern schism developing in the Catholic Church, There are a great many who claim Pope Leo's views on immigration are those of a leftist politician and have nothing to do with the gospel.  The Vatican  rejects that claim saying his views "are official ‘proclamations of the gospel."  There was at time when the Pope understood there was no harmony between Christianity and communism, and "excommunicated all communist Catholics in 1949."  There was a time when it was understood there could be no harmony between Christianity and Islam.  

Right now there appears to be a schism in the making as Cardinal Victor Fernandez excommunicated those who belong to the Society of Saint Pius X for appointing bishops without the approval of the Vatican, calling them schismatic.  Now, prelates and Catholic clergy who are not members of  the SSPX are saying that action is null because:

"Fernandez and those working with him are schismatics themselves. It is no secret that 80 percent of Vatican clergy are homosexuals and that both Fernandez and Leo are responsible for the rampant spread of LGBTQ in Rome and beyond..............  “In the Vatican, however, key positions are increasingly being occupied by people who have been completely corrupted by the world and who have been placed there [by Francis and Leo] in order to destroy the Catholic Church down to its very roots. They are the ones who should be excommunicated, because they no longer have anything at all in common with the Church of Christ.”

So, we've covered heresy, hypocrisy, now let's cover persecution.  

In China, which is one of the world's worst human rights violators as Communist China is a pariah, it’s time to treat it like one.  Xi is seeing a growing Christian movement in China so he arrested a prominent pastor hoping to halt this movement.  It's not working and Xi is going full blast to be a modern Mao arresting Christians who refuse to bend the knee the cult of Xi.  The pastor has since been released but that's not changing Xi's persecution of Christians.

Nigeria is now, and has been for some time, a nightmare of genocide for Christians.  Muslims are killing 35 Christians a day and it's estimated between 5,000 and 10,000 Christians are murdered by Muslims each year, and their corrupt government is doing little about it.  And not one word from the wokesters about genocide.  In this case it's provable genocide versus of the propaganda touted by Democrats, Islamophiles and their media cats paws about Gaza.    

We've covered heresy, hypocrisy, persecution, so now let's cover lunacy.  

Did you know that God doesn't like America?  That blacks are God's chosen people?  That race baiters are the new apostles?   Yessir, and we know this is so because Senator Warnock told us so claiming: 

.............. in a sermon on Sunday that God sent a thunderstorm to the National Mall in Washington, DC on July 4 to force people who were “telling themselves a bunch of lies” about the greatness of the United States into the African-American History Museum.

But when it comes to lunacy, even Warnock can't begin to outdo James Talarico who now claims Christians are ‘Christofascists’ and Islam is a “path to truth”.  Yessir, he's really got a handle on faith, and how to win Texans over.  

Well, It Turns Out He Lied.

 By Rich Kozlovich 

Jack Smith argued all this hullabaloo about his activities being illegal was strictly politics and had no basis in truth, including claims he spied on members of Congress.  Well, that's just not true.  

Jack Smith has always been vile.  Early on in his career was a "Clinton hit man to get Trump".  Then he was hired by Biden  take down Donald Trump.  The corruption of the DOJ and FBI attorneys and agents under Biden was staggering, many of which have been purged under Trump.

Well, time and truth are on the same side, and now we absolutely know Democrat Special Counsel Jack Smith spied on and lied to Congress, and it turns out spying on the legislative members of the American government is illegal.  Didn't he know that?  Well, when you're working for a group of people who intend to set up a tyrannical authoritarian state, does it matter?  I have to assume he believed he'd be protected.  

Well, now Congress has proof of a "Biden witch hunt" where Smith and his mob did spy on 20 Senators and 24 House Members.

As Daniel Greenfield states:

I’ve been saying this for years, but it bears repeating, this was Watergate times a million, here’s the latest release from Sen. Chuck Grassley who has been unrelentingly laser-focused on these abuses. I’ve met with him and some of his staffers and they’re really impressive folks. The scale of what’s being uncovered here is incredible in the sheer scope of the power grab.

Will he and his mob ever be tried, found guilty and sent to prison?  I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that.  

• Update, 10:29 AM: Zero Accountability for Traitors -  This was the closest we have had so far to a real prosecution of an official willfully and openly breaking the law and violating the Constitution. And all she gets is a slap on the wrist. Do you seriously think the bigger fish will pay for their crimes when this nobody judge can’t even get a serious penalty? More evidence that the whole system is too corrupt, too far gone for rehabilitation.... read more

I'm Shocked, Shocked I tell you. It's Mostly Women Who Get Pregnant. Imagine That!

By Rich Kozlovich

I gotta tell ya, not a day goes by where I don't wonder why some of these woke people aren't institutionalized instead of in positions of power and/or authority.  It turns out one medical authority, Dr.. Sam Hawgood, a medical school dean, has discovered “The Vast Majority of Pregnancies Are in Women”.  Wow, that's shocking!  Right?  Well, not really, that is if your sane.  

When asked if men can have babies he in effect says yes, "transgender men" can have babies.  Does anyone besides me think there's a problem with that statement?  Transgender men are biological women who've been irreparably mutilated to look like men, or at least they're trying to look like men.  

And he's not alone in this madness.   

Miller, the report said, "asked two university medical leaders in a tense hearing Tuesday to directly answer whether non-biological women can have babies and didn't receive a straight answer."

Daniel Greenfield commented:

Is this really a man who is deeply indoctrinated or one who knows that he has to recite humiliating nonsense like this as the price for not being purged by an insane political class?

It's kinda like the Islamists who over the 1400 plus years of their history gave millions of people the right to choose.  Either convert or we will torture and kill you.

Life is about patterns and circles. Patterns of behavior, and the social circles prompting that behavior.

3. 90,000 Haitians Live in Massachusetts and Only 10,000 Are Working
4. South Africa Says Enough to Illegal Migration - (Ya just gotta see the humor in this) Over the last month, illegal aliens in South Africa have experienced a range of street violence from resentful locals, including murders. Stick- and whip-carrying members of groups and political parties like Operation Dudula (meaning “to force out”) have reportedly engaged in door-to-door intimidation and on-street demands for proof of nationality, on top of conventional public protests. Around the fourth such anti-migrant flare up in two decades in South Africa, thousands of victims, mostly from Ghana, Nigeria, Malawi and Mozambique, have voluntarily departed home as a result, many apparently responding to a June 30th-deadline set by groups like Dudula to get out of the country.
