We are facing perhaps the most important election since the re-election of Abraham Lincoln; an election that was critical to maintaining the Union after a bitter Civil War.

There are compelling arguments on both sides of the issue and ones not strictly based in politics.

Be Forewarned: A Personal DisclaimerIn these days of hypersensitivity and arrogance, sometimes you have to explain to people just what you stand for and what you will put up with. And sometimes you have to be willing to "turn the page" on people you knew yesterday who really don't know you today, especially if they can't divorce politics and ideology from friendship. This week I put people on notice...in an effort to be transparent.Please subscribe to our podcast at iHeart Radio, Pandora, Spotify, TuneIn, Apple Podcasts, Google Play, and on podcast platforms like Castbox, Podcast Addict, Stitcher, SoundCloud, Spreaker, and anywhere podcasts are heard.TRANSCRIPTFor the last 22 years, I have been fully engaged in the culture war. I have even been the executive director for a small non-profit that dealt with the threats of Progressivism, Islamofascism, and constitutional illiteracy. In addition, I have written for national publications, think tanks, and foundations on these topics and guested on many television and radio programs not because I am a zealot on these issues, but because I have been recognized as someone who is fair; someone who takes great pains to explore all sides of an issue and who seeks out credible, fact-based information, even when everyone else was acting emotionally.So, I find it troubling how far to the ideological Left many of my friends and family have jerked in the last 6 or so years. People I respected have suddenly stopped seeking perspective from both sides of an issue; stopped caring about whether what they are buying into is true and unmanipulated, and are full-throatily engaged in advancing political vomit as truth; ideological propaganda as fact. We, as a society – and this includes my circle, large that it is – have mistakenly misconstrued the easy of communicating our opinions with advocating provable truths.And before you knee-jerk assign me a label, know that I am just as severe on the elitists of the Right as I am on the oligarchs of the Left. Progressives exist on both sides of the aisle and their goals are the same: harness the emotions of the people to divide, advance opportunistic propaganda based on half-truths and manipulated innuendo, and attain power amongst the chaos. Both sides are guilty of it and for that fact, both sides are to blame.But that does not absolve us from our responsibility to see through the fog of politically charged misinformation, to do that we must dispense with the usual suspect media and start going to sources to read white-paper facts on issues and situations. We must have the courage to call people out when they advance media-driven propaganda and confront power when the elitists in control use emotional knee-jerk to manipulate the people into divide.No one gets a pass. If you post something that I have found, through my studies of both sides of an issue (and that study goes far beyond the mainstream media rags that do nothing but sensationalize headlines for profit) to be false, misleading or ridiculously conspiratorial I am going to call you on it and I am forewarning everyone, family and friends, that I am finished being polite about it.For 22 years I have been polite about explaining the information I have discovered, tested, and confirmed, and for some reason, today, because everyone has a Facebook account, opinions trump facts. This cannot and will not stand.So, for the record:▪ I am a constitutionalist and not one who only values the Charters of Freedom when it is advantageous. I do not riot if my candidate doesn’t win. I do not loot when the media snaps its fingers. And I do not automatically believe that because someone thinks differently than me that he or she is an asshole. That moniker is saved for when that person proves him or herself to be an asshole.▪ I do my research before I espouse my opinion. My research takes me to as many vantage points as possible because it is always important to understand all sides of an issue. Because of that, I can almost always easily spot someone who is spewing the boilerplate propaganda; the person who didn’t take the time to try to figure out why someone with an opposing viewpoint may have a legitimate beef. These are the people – the people who read the headline and believe they have read the article, study, or thesis – who, in my book, are lower than whale shit. I do not suffer the arrogance of these people.▪ Wannabe wonks are a little lower than the whale shit level espoused above. If you are an ideological sycophant who believes that just because you read a few books by your favorite political author that you are a political academic, you are a dangerous kind of useless to me. Unless you read, respected experts – not activists, experts – from all sides of an issue I can only see you as partisan. Don’t tell me you “know what Americans want or think” when you have only looked East.▪ I am not, repeat not, sympathetic to the Progressive cause. I believe Progressives are a threat to the Repu

One of the tactics that Progressives enjoy using most is the tactic of redefinition. We see it every day and in every avenue of life. It is facilitated by the idea of political correctness which in and of itself is an attempt to redefine and actually rewrite the Bill of Rights to the US Constitution. The odd thing is this. Political correctness is not legislated. It is imposed. That’s what makes it the most dangerous weapon in the Progressives’ arsenal.Please subscribe to our podcast at iHeart Radio, Pandora, Spotify, TuneIn, Apple Podcasts, Google Play, and on podcast platforms like Castbox, Podcast Addict, Stitcher, SoundCloud, Spreaker, and anywhere podcasts are heard.TRANSCRIPTOne of the tactics that Progressives enjoy using most is the tactic of redefinition.

Political correctness is not legislated. It is imposed. That’s what makes it the most dangerous weapon in the Progressives’ arsenal.Some of the more obvious examples of Progressive redefinition come in the form of the ever-changing labels they bestow upon groups and movements. Since the 1950s, Blacks in the United States, as a group, have seen language referring to their demographic change almost constantly. Negroes, African-American, Black-American, black with a small “B”, and now Black with a capital “B”, Progressives have always been on the hunt for what resonates with the Black demographic.Recently, the Associated Press – which has an unbalanced influence of our media outlets when it comes to “style,” has issued a rash of edicts mandating the redefinition of journalistic lingo. Aside from their edict about the capital “B” in the use of “Black” in news items, the AP has also decided that if the use of the words “racism” or “racist” is applicable, “racially charged” should not be used.The USA Today gave a platform to certain Progressive academics, who suggest that the words “violence,” “looting,” and “rioting” should not be used when referring to what happened in the streets of Minneapolis and other urban centers in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death. The academics claim these words don’t accurately reflect the protesters’ “rage” and hopelessness.These language usage changes may seem small and inconsequential but when the many changes are applied over time they work to “nudge” our society’s “acceptable language” to facilitate a singular ideological view. In doing so, organizations like the AP and other media outlets are incrementally engineering our culture to a preferred viewpoint. Then there are the passive inclusions to existing definitions that completely change the meaning of a phrase or, in this case, a perceived movement. In the article, GOP Candidate Is Latest Linked to QAnon Conspiracy Theory, reporters Jim Anderson, Nicholas Riccardi, and Alan Fram, cite a professor at the University of Miami in their attempt to marry the “Q movement” to the Deep State:“The QAnon theory has ricocheted around the darker corners of the internet since late 2017. It is based around an anonymous, high-ranking government official known as ‘Q’ who purportedly tears back the veil on the ‘deep state,’ often tied to satanism, child molestation and even cannibalism.”The key words here to pay attention to are, “...often tied to satanism, child molestation and even cannibalism.”The Deep State exists and that has never been more obvious than during the Trump presidency. We have experienced the Washington, DC political class – including the elected officials and the deep pockets of K Street – hyperventilating over the dismantling of the globalist construct that took the Progressive movement over a century to quietly put into place in our government. Very few people who are politically aware argue otherwise.Via Dictionary.com:“The Deep State is believed to be a clandestine network entrenched inside the government, bureaucracy, intelligence agencies, and other governmental entities. The Deep State supposedly controls state policy behind the scenes, while the democratically-elected process and elected officials are merely figureheads.”Dictionary.com goes

The Framers established protection for the media so that it could speak truth to power; so the press was free to provide opposing views to a free people could so they could decide for themselves – at the ballot box – what direction they wanted to take our country.But the Framers never envisioned a media so corrupt, so ideologically agenda-driven, or so disingenuously manipulative as today’s media.

As our urban centers around the United States literally burn - stores being looted and citizens sleeping with loaded weapons at the ready, it has become abundantly clear that this destruction and violence has nothing at all to do with the death of a Black man in Minneapolis. In stead, it has everything to do with an act of war and the attempted overthrow of the US government by ANTIFA, a far-Left, Progressive anarchist group.Please subscribe to our podcast at iHeart Radio, Pandora, Spotify, TuneIn, Apple Podcasts, Google Play, and on podcast platforms like Castbox, Podcast Addict, Stitcher, SoundCloud, Spreaker, and anywhere podcasts are heard.TRANSCRIPTAs of this recording, the city of Minneapolis and its surrounding counties – along with urban areas around the country – are on fire, literally. Monuments in Washington, DC – including the World War II Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial – have been defaced. A 204-year-old church complex, St. John’s, across from the White House, was briefly set afire. And posters are popping up all over urban centers organizing ANTIFA terrorists to “move the battle to the suburbs”. A federal agent in Oakland was killed and law enforcement – as well as fire and EMS personnel – are under violent attack from coast to coast.If anyone believes that this violence and destruction is related to the death of George Floyd they are delusional. This is a full-on attempt at crippling the country by Progressive domestic terrorists. This is an act of war at the hands of ANTIFA.By all rational accounts, the system – which in some cases used to ignore the use of excessive force by law enforcement – is working this time. The four cops who are accused of used excessive force in Minneapolis were terminated, Officer Derek Chauvin has been charged with 3rd degree murder and manslaughter, and the DoJ is looking into the application of Civil Rights violation charges. The system is working. Bad people who did bad things are being punished, investigated, charged and will get tried by a jury.Yet, in the face of the system working, legitimate protesters took to the streets of Minneapolis. They rightfully marched to protest a questionable death of a man in police custody. These protesters had the hearts and minds of every American. If these protests would have stayed non-violent that would still be the case today. Sadly, violent ideological opportunists; anarchists and hardcore socialists took advantage of the situation.Now, rioting, looting, and acts of arson on an scale that makes Devils Night in Detroit look like a quaint bonfire have exploded in many urban areas and are threatening to expand into suburban areas across the country. In some larger urban areas this criminal activity has ventured into the suburban areas. Shopping and business centers are closing out of an abundance of caution and county and suburban police forces are gearing up in preparation for the worst. All officers are on heightened alert, public works trucks are set-up as barriers at intersections, people are sleeping with loaded weapons at the ready.This unrest has spread across our nation in short order; from New York, to Chicago, Nashville to Atlanta, Louisville, Des Moines, Washington, DC, Los Angeles, and other major cities in the United States, and has done so in a curious sense of coordination and precision.These “protests” stink of being manufactured and pre-prepared, and evidence is pointing to the involvement of Progressive-Left ANTIFA domestic terror group from coast to coast.Adam Leggat, a former British Army counterterrorism officer and security consultant specializing in crowd management for the Densus Group, describes the ANTIFA agitators thusly:“The real hard-core guys, this is their job: They’re involved in this struggle...They need protests on the street to give them cover to move in.”USA Today’s Trevor Hughes describes what the ANTIFA operatives are doing in these protests today:“Drifting out of the shadows in small groups, dressed in black, carrying shields and wearing knee pads, they head toward the front lines of the protest. Helmets and gas masks protect and obscure their faces, and they carry bottles of milk to counteract tear gas and pepper spray.“Most of them appear to be white. They carry no signs and don't want to speak to reporters. Trailed by designated ‘medics’ with red crosses taped to their clothes, these groups head straight for the front lines of the conflict.“[T]hese small groups do battle with police and the National Guard, kicking away tear gas canisters and throwing back foam-rubber projects fired at them. Around them, fires break out. Windows are smashed. Parked cars destroyed...Sometimes they threaten those journalists who photograph them destroying property.”This is the playbook of ANTIFA. They are a Leftist-backed paid agitator movement that – as a rule – co-opts legitimate causes from pure original intent to serve their Progressive masters who use chaos, violence, and anarchy to facilitate

As Minneapolis burns, the abstract failure of identity politics can be seen in the plumes of smoke that hovers above the city. The system is working; holding those responsible for the death of a minor offender responsible for their actions. But arrogant and self-righteous protesters are opportunistically wreaking havoc on the city, destroying their own neighborhoods, and destroying their neighbors' dreams.To what end?Please subscribe to our podcast at iHeart Radio, Pandora, Spotify, TuneIn, Apple Podcasts, Google Play, and on podcast platforms like Castbox, Podcast Addict, Stitcher, SoundCloud, Spreaker, and anywhere podcasts are heard.TRANSCRIPTI was going to talk about how we at The Underground are going to start featuring insightful articles that will help expand the thinking about issues that are relevant in today’s ideological and political spheres, but the news coming out of Minneapolis – and from other urban centers – has circumvented those plans.As of this recording, the city of Minneapolis and its surrounding counties are on fire, literally. The use of excessive force by at least one of four Minneapolis police officers caused the death of another human being, George Floyd. As it stands, the four police officers associated with this crime have been terminated by the Minneapolis Police Department and the chief offender, Officer Derek Chauvin, who had a history of reprimands for questionable use of force, has been charged with 3rd degree murder and manslaughter.Ironic here is that a Progressive city administration refused to take issue with Chauvin when the use of force issue was originally brought up. Even more ironic is that when Progressive darling Sen. Amy Klobuchar served as Hennepin County attorney, she took no action against Chauvin.But I digress.By all rational accounts, the system – which used to ignore the use of excessive force by law enforcement – is working this time. The four cops who used excessive force in Minneapolis were terminated, Chauvin has been charged with murder, and the DoJ is looking into the application of Civil Rights violation charges. The system is working. Bad people who did bad things are being punished, investigated, charged and will get tried by a jury.Yet, in the face of the system working, protesters took to the streets of Minneapolis and – under the guise of “he started it” began rioting, looting, and committing acts of arson on an scale that makes Devils Night in Detroit look like a quaint bonfire. This escalated to the use of tear gas, rubber and sponge bullets on the one side and First Responders being the targets of gun fire by the protesters. Protesters were shooting at Fire and EMS First Responders and police officers.Let me give you some insight on the mentality of those who would execute such moves.After identifying myself on a Facebook thread as a retired professional firefighter/paramedic, I made my thoughts known about how I feel about the protesters anarchic actions. This is what I got in reply:“‘the system did what it was supposed to do’... that’s right, when a group of people are being killed by cops they should riot. Also, it’s not just “one of your brothers” who supposedly got shot at... it was one of your brothers who murdered a man over $20. So you should show some support and help keep your brothers in line. Pulling the first responders card as if that automatically makes you a hero? I’d say civil servant. One charged with protecting ALL the people. If you want to pull that card like a hero, ACT LIKE ONE, and do your part to end this police brutality instead of excusing it. There’s a huge difference between hero and boot licker.”The idiocy of this poster – who admits he was at the protests and got shot in the ass with a sponge bullet, is immense. How did his actions “play a part” in ending police brutality? They didn’t. He served to hypocritically promote anarchy and lawlessness with the same breath he was screaming for justice. This is the playbook of Antifa, Black Lives Matter, Occupy, and the rest of the Leftist backed paid agitator movements; movements co-opted from pure original intent to serve their Progressive masters.I do not sign-on to identity politics – which I will address in a moment – and I do not sign on to victimhood politics. We, each of us and as a society, exist now; the laws are now; the actions executed are now. If we want a free and fair society then we have to stop trying to vilify people for the sins of history and exist in the now. So, when bad actors commit crimes they should be investigated, charged, tried, and if found guilty punished. This process is happened right now.But so is the violence at the hand of those calling for justice. Senseless, destructive violence that is hurting average people; the antithesis of who the protesters say they are targeting.Consider the incredible and positive change that was brought forth with non-violent civil disobedience under Martin Luther King, Jr. and Gandhi. These were real lead

The feature will roll out in the coming weeks...“‘These messages will connect people to COVID-19 myths debunked by the World Health Organization including ones we’ve removed from our platform for leading to imminent physical harm,’ Guy Rosen, Facebook’s vice president of integrity, said in a blog post.”– CNBC, April 26, 2020Two things are quite apparent in this move. One, Facebook doesn’t believe the general public is smart enough (or worthy of the freedom) to research its own information. And two, they are invested in a single point of view narrative with no intention of allowing opposing viewpoints.It is beyond arrogant to believe it okay to mandate what is acceptable information to consume. It is also reprehensible to bully people into acquiescing to your point of view. Facebook is doing both with its rollout of “warnings” about what people like. They are censoring – and, in fact, facilitating the expungement – of information that will allow people the opportunity to decide for themselves, and now they are attempting to intimidate those who don’t agree with their preferred narrative.This is – and I mean this literally – the institution of Orwell’s “Newspeak”:“Newspeak is the language of Oceania, a totalitarian superstate that is the setting of George Orwell's dystopian 1949 novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. To meet the ideological requirements of English Socialism (INGSOC) in Oceania, the ruling Party created Newspeak,[1] a controlled language of simplified grammar and restricted vocabulary, meant to limit the freedom of thought – personal identity, self-expression, free will – that threatens the ideology of the régime of Big Brother and the Party, who have criminalized such concepts into thought crime, as contradictions of INGSOC orthodoxy.”Is this not exactly what Facebook is doing? They are deciding – for you – what is harmful and what is not; what is truth and what is not; what is acceptable and what is not. They are dictating what the truth is, even as relevant questions abound on the issue of COVID-19 and how the government has handled the event. This is the very antithesis of freedom, by definition.Facebook will hide behind their stance that because they are a privately owned company they have the right to execute censorship on such a grotesque level. But because their product has an extraordinary effect on shaping our cultural narratives, I suggest they are bound by laws that safeguard our First Amendment rights to freedom of speech, freedom to redress government, and freedom of assembly, titrated to the 21 Century modes of communication.To that extent, it is without a doubt – and would be extremely hard to argue otherwise (although I am not about to be as hypocritical as Facebook as to say only my opinion counts) – that Facebook is:• Infringing on every user's constitutional free speech right by way of filtering information to only a preferred narrative (censorship)• Infringing on every user's constitutional right to redress their government by stifling opposing viewpoints to the government-issued narrative (censorship)• And infringing on every user's constitutional right to freely assemble by way of intimidating people into demurring their true thoughts on a subject for fear of being openly ridiculed (read: warned) by the Facebook “community standards” thugs.Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines “monopoly” thusly:“...exclusive ownership through legal privilege, command of supply, or concerted action; exclusive possession or control; a commodity controlled by one party...”In that definition, they use an analogy by Helen M. Lynd that applies, “No country has a monopoly on morality or truth.” This necessarily needs to be true of social media behemoths as well. No all-encompassing social media entity has a monopoly on morality or truth. This is especially applicable to Facebook and Google (the former of which owns Instagram and the latter of which owns YouTube), who both have a disproportionate stranglehold on information on the Internet.It is well past time that the US Department of Justice takes action against Facebook and Goo

A document dump is an exercise where politicians feeling heat on an issue either make curt, generic denials or provide so much information that no immediate answer can be divined.(CLIP 1)Reade filed a lawsuit earlier this month claiming Biden sexually assaulted her in 1993. As reported at NPR.org (hardly a conservative outlet:“When Reade met up with the senator, she said, he pinned her up against a wall and penetrated her vagina with his fingers...‘His hands went underneath my clothing and he was touching me in my private areas and without my consent,’ Reade told NPR. She said Biden asked her whether she wanted to go somewhere else...Reade said that she pulled away and that Biden pointed his finger at her and said, ‘You're nothing to me, nothing.’”Reade’s lawsuit comes after years of blowing the whistle on Biden. Reade quite publicly accused Biden of inappropriate touching over a year ago and just recently a 1993 clip from Larry King Live surfaced that document’s Reade’s Mother exposing Mr. Biden for his actions. Reade’s efforts to get the media interested in the story has come to the point of almost begging. Hardly what the #MeToo movement was supposed to be about.But it isn’t just one person calling Biden out; it isn’t just Reade. As The Washington Times reported on April 12, 2020:“Biden’s conduct towards women first came under scrutiny just before he announced his presidential campaign last spring. Eight women, including Reade, came forward with allegations that the former Vice President made them feel uncomfortable with inappropriate physical displays of affection...Biden acknowledged the complaints and promised to ‘be more mindful about respecting personal space in the future.’”Nevertheless, Biden took to MSNBC this morning (remember that document dump thing I was talking about?) to issue his denial. He tantamount to said the accusation was insane. Bear with me, this clip is long...and disturbing:(Clip 2)His insistence on a few points presents questions and opportunities for some eyebrow-raising.Biden kept insisting that he, nor anyone to his knowledge (a very lawyerly use of words), had any knowledge of a complaint being filed. He said it over and over again. In the end, that doesn’t mean squat. A US Senator is not someone who handles day-to-days in the office, no matter if it’s the DC office or the many home offices. His Chief of Staff may have a cursory knowledge of what is going on in general, but even the Chief doesn’t know the minutia of the day-to-days, although the Chief would be spectacularly more up to speed than the Elected. So his denial of knowledge of a complaint means absolutely nothing. Further, I don’t know of anyone, anywhere, at any time, who wouldn’t have kept a duplicate copy of a sexual harassment complaint – signed by an employer representative, against an employer, and especially an employer who happens to be a US Senator.And why was he so absolutely insistent that Ms. Reade’s complaint – or any paperwork with Reade’s name on it – couldn’t possibly be found in his archive files at the University of Delaware? Why was he so intensely guarded about those archive files?The Washington Examiner reported on April 30th, that Biden operatives had access to his University of Delaware files after the initial mass complaint but before Reade’s lawsuit was leveled, this according to a UofD spokeswoman. Is there a possibility that these operative cleansed his archives of anything related to his inappropriate sexual behavior? You’re damn straight there is.In the article it states:“Reade suspects that a sexual harassment complaint she filed with an outside Se

A chief executive from a mid-size bank in New York has blown the whistle on mid-sized hedge funds, brokerage houses, and small to mid-sized law firms who have all been applying for the small business loans offered through the COVID-19 Payroll Protection Program. Why is this an issue? Well, for two reasons...Please subscribe to our podcast at iHeart Radio, Pandora, Spotify, TuneIn, Apple Podcasts, Google Play, and on podcast platforms like Castbox, Podcast Addict, Stitcher, SoundCloud, Spreaker, and anywhere podcasts are heard.TRANSCRIPT:I guess this is sort of a two-fer where subject matter is concerned, but it all centers on COVID-19 and the government’s handling of the event. At the outset, I acknowledge that hindsight is 20/20 but there are some corrective measures that can be taken for at least one of the issues addressed.The first subject I would like to address is a disturbing report coming out of FOX Business by Charlie Gasparino and Lydia Moynihan. This report highlights activities that some feared would happen in the wake of the Trump Administration’s COVID-19 stimulus plan.In the report, Gasparino and Moynihan share a conversation with a chief executive from a mid-size bank in New York who testifies that mid-sized hedge funds, brokerage houses, and small to mid-sized law firms have all been applying for the small business loans offered through the COVID-19 Payroll Protection Program. Why is this an issue? Well, for two reasons.First, each of the aforementioned entities continues to make money during the national quarantine. These are all retainer and fee-based businesses, many whose revenue flows are still quite substantial, even if diminished. This hardly puts them in the dire straits being felt by true small businesses and entrepreneurs. Most certainly these entities exist outside of the spirit of the effort.Second, the damage that these entities are causing – these mid-sized hedge funds, brokerage houses, and small to mid-sized law firms – is monumental in scale and uniquely selfish in the history of all acts of self-interest.Small businesses, true small businesses – the kinds that employ CPAs on an hourly basis or even use QuickBooks to do bookkeeping; the kinds that still drive their deposits to the bank each day, make up an estimated 99.9 percent of all businesses in the US, and that’s based on companies with fewer than 500 employees. According to the latest statistics from the Small Business Administration, roughly half of that number is attributed to companies with less than 100 employees.These businesses are restaurants, small Mom & Pop shops, individual entrepreneurs; these are businesses that employ the lion’s share of our population and power our economy, and without whom we would exist routinely in economic crisis. These are the companies and entrepreneurs the Paycheck Protection Program was meant to stabilize, not hedge funds, brokerage houses and law firms.I can either file it under the blind squirrel finds a nut category or the Republicans can f-up a one-car funeral category, but the concerns raised by some Democrats and Independents about bailout oversight have come to fruition. Entities that do not desperately need the funding are feeding from the Federal money trough and that’s despicable.That said, Mitchie McConnell and his establishment swamp buddies in the Federal GOP can snatch victory from the jaws of defeat if they execute legislation – and we all know Democrats would sign on to this (if they didn’t it would expose them as part of the swamp) – if they would execute legislation that would retroactively exclude entities like mid-sized hedge funds, brokerage houses, and small to mid-sized law firms that are still making a net profit over a certain percentage. Further, they should require them to repay – within 5 business days – the disingenuously procured loan monies or face penalties assessed at 10 percent of their after payroll profits for the entire preceding. Make it hurt.Why is this such an important issue? Because at least half – if not more – of the small businesses that were supposed to be getting the PPP aid (read: a return of their honestly remitted tax dollars) are not getting the help that the program was supposed to provide; it’s being bled off the top by those who truly do not need it. The result will be the deaths of small businesses on a massive scale and the entry into a recession that will make the Great Depression look like a vacation at Disney World.Small businesses need a lifeline yesterday and because they fuel the tax revenue engines, Federal and State governments – who glean their operating capital from the private sector – have a solemn obligation and duty to make sure they survive.Should government fail small business; should the rich widen the divide through the pillaging of a program that wasn’t meant for them; that was meant to keep Main Street alive, the establishment class is seriously tempting a revolution that will bring violence to the street

I can’t say that I am completely surprised.

Since Roger Ailes was unceremoniously dismissed from NewsCorp leadership – and since the Murdock boys have taken over the reins – FOX news has transformed from “we report, you decide” to “we’ll provide the sensationalist headlines, our sponsors will enjoy the clicks.”The headline that stands in stark example today is this:“US Overtakes Italy to Have Highest Coronavirus Death Toll in the World After 2,000 Deaths in a Day”Why is this disgraceful? Because articles in their online publication – as well as a deluge of source-based comments – have outed the CDC for changing the reporting criteria related to COVID-19 deaths:“In cases where a definite diagnosis of COVID cannot be made but is suspected or likely (e.g. the circumstances are compelling with a reasonable degree of certainty) it is acceptable to report COVID-19 on a death certificate as ‘probable’ or ‘presumed.’”The latitude given for reporting a death as a COVID-19 death is stunning by any standard, let alone a medical standard. Given that this latitude exists, it is more than reasonable – and, in fact, intelligent – to conclude that the deaths attributed to COVID-19 to achieve the “highest coronavirus death toll in the world” are inflated and inaccurate.Further proof of inducement to inflate the number of deaths attributed to COVID-19 comes in another article published by FOX News. In the article, Minnesota Doctor Blasts 'Ridiculous' CDC Coronavirus Death Count Guidelines, State Senator and physician, Scott Jensen, spotlighted the obvious:“...anytime health care intersects with dollars it gets awkward...Right now Medicare has determined that if you have a COVID-19 admission to the hospital you’ll get paid $13,000. If that COVID-19 patient goes on a ventilator, you get $39,000; three times as much. Nobody can tell me, after 35 years in the world of medicine, that sometimes those kinds of things [have] impact on what we do.”In a previous article, I asked everyone to follow the money regarding the COVID-19 issue. I am doubling down on that advice today.In addition to the government paying out more for COVID-19 patients and their various levels of treatment through Medicare – and in the shadow of the federal government’s want to pay for all COVID-19 treatments, we have two smoky backroom figures that keep surfacing: Bill Gate and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.Strategic risk consultant and best-selling author, F. William Engdahl, writes:“In 2017 during the Davos World Economic Forum, Gates initiated something called CEPI, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations...to ‘accelerate the development of vaccines we’ll need to contain outbreaks’ of future epidemics...“In October 2019 the Gates Foundation teamed up with the World Economic Forum and the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security to enact what they called a ‘fictional’ scenario simulation...Event 201 simulated an ‘outbreak of a novel zoonotic coronavirus’...The scenario then ends after 18 months when the fictional coronavirus has caused 65 million deaths.”Prophetic or curiously and suspiciously accurate, Gates’ scenario of a SARS-based pandemic came to fruition in 2020.Engdahl continues:“Gates Foundation money is backing vaccine development on every front. Inovio Pharmaceuticals of Pennsylvania received $9 million from the Gates-backed CEPI...to develop a vaccine...gave the company an added $5 million to develop a proprietary smart device for intradermal delivery of the new vaccine.“Gates Foundation monies via CEPI are financing development of a radical new vaccine method known as messengerRNA or mRNA...co-funding the Cambridge, Massachusetts biotech company, Moderna Inc., to develop a vaccine against the Wuhan novel coronavirus...Moderna’s other partner is the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases [the] head of NIAID is Dr. Anthony Fauci.“...the Gates Foundation and related entities such as CEPI constitute the largest funders of the public-private entity known as WHO, and that its current director, Tedros Adhanom, the first WHO director in history not a medical doctor, worked for years on HIV with the Gates Foundation...”Aside from the fact that Gate’s company Microsoft can’t guarantee your computer won’t catch a virus, let’s ask ourselves some questions:▪How much money do Bill Gates and th

In several locations around the world – including Australia, France, and (ironically) China, hydroxychloroquine, when combined with zithromax and zinc, has proven incredibly effective against the COVID-19 virus, both as a treatment after infection and as a prophylactic. But you wouldn't know that if you listened to the usual Propgressive subjects in the media...Please subscribe to our podcast at iHeart Radio, Pandora, Spotify, TuneIn, Apple Podcasts, Google Play, and on podcast platforms like Castbox, Podcast Addict, Stitcher, SoundCloud, Spreaker, and anywhere podcasts are heard.TRANSCRIPT:“State Rep. Tavia Galonski (D-OH-35) tweeted Sunday after President Trump spoke about hydroxychloroquine at his daily press briefing... ‘I can’t take it anymore. I’ve been to The Hague. I’m making a referral for crimes against humanity tomorrow...Today’s press conference was the last straw. I know the need for a prosecution referral when I see one.’”Of course, Galonski is referring to the International Criminal Court at The Hague which the United States does not recognize. We don’t recognize it for the fact that to do so would put a non-constitutional adjudicating body above our Constitution, our rule of law, and our Supreme Court. Because we don’t recognize the ICC it has no teeth, no authority...nothing.Now, Galonski either doesn’t understand that her “referral” means diddly-squat (which makes her a blithering idiot), forgot that her “referral” means less than the New York Times at the bottom of a birdcage (which puts her in Joe Biden’s forgetfulness group), or is a political opportunist (which puts her ethics below that of shyster attorneys and CNN and MSNBC’s).We also need to look at her motivation via her campaign contributors. We need to see if she took any checks or quid pro quo in-kind contributions from big pharma, and here’s why.In several locations around the world – including Australia, France, and (ironically) China, Hydroxychloroquine, when combined with Zithromax and zinc, has proven incredibly effective against the COVID-19 virus, both as a treatment after infection and as a prophylactic. This would mean that any big pharma concocted, high-priced cure that would hold the treasuries of the world hostage to political extortion wouldn’t be so critical to achieving.And let me further juxtapose Galonski’s ignorance with this. A poll of 6,227 physicians in 30 countries across three continents, conducted by the global healthcare polling company Sermo, found that they believe hydroxychloroquine to be the best treatment for COVID-19. Further, the poll found that the United States has the lowest percentage of physicians prescribing the drug, although that number is growing.Sermo CEO, Peter Kirk is quoted as saying, “Physicians should have more of a voice in how we deal with the pandemic and be able to quickly share information with one another around the world.” He alluded to the poll results (albeit his organization’s) as a “treasure trove of global insight for policymakers.”And let’s file this under the “blind squirrel finding a nut” column.Bloomberg (of all places) reports that more than 99 percent of the coronavirus fatalities in Italy – one of the world’s COVID-19 hotspots – were people who suffered from previous medical conditions, i.e. they were already identified as vulnerable, sometimes three-times over.The Istituto Superiore di Sanita, Italy’s national health authority, discovered, post mortem, that of the 132,547 COVID-19 cases only 0.2 percent of the 16,523 fatalities (as opposed to the 22,837 who have recovered completely) were free and clear of any known preexisting condition. Those who died did so from complications related to COVID-19 in concert with their pre-existing conditions. The institute categorized those conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease, among others.Additionally, Italy has a state-run healthcare system that has established guidelines that mandate, and I quote from The Atlantic: “Those who are too old to have a high likelihood of recovery, or who have too low a number of ‘life-years’ left even if they should survive, would be left to die.” To be more succinct, Italy is not treating COVID-19 elderly patients who present with an advanced stage of coronavirus. Ain’t socialized medicine wonderful...But I digress.Again, I am not saying that the COVID-19 virus event we are experiencing isn’t serious. It is. What I am saying is that it is being exploited by opportunistic politicians and special interests that glean benefit through chaos and over-hyped by the media for ideological purposes.Given the extremes to which our society has stooped during this event (hoarders should take a good long look in the mirror to examine what kind of person they have become), wouldn’t employing the hydroxychloroquine cocktail within the non-vulnerable community be a positive step toward marginalizing this virus? Rather than investing in the panic that saw New York and Michigan’s gover

Social media has become a staple in our society. Through these platforms we stay connected with family and friends, create “cyber friends”, glean information, and take action on events and issues that are important to us.

I always find it eyebrow-raising (if not comical) how Progressives arrive late to the party and then try to dictate how the party should be run.
