Underground USA's Corner of the Bar Podcast

Before we get into this morning's segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce I wanted to say a few words about doing due diligence.We always talk about investigators – the FBI, lawyers – doing due diligence. But we, as citizens, have an obligation to do due diligence as well, before we post on social media.It is important to read beyond the headlines; beyond the first two paragraphs of any news article. You need to read whole articles before you opine on social media.There is so much minutia left below the fold in an article that because we live in an age of sensationalistic, clickbait headlines, the headline doesn't always represent what the story is about. As a matter of fact, the MSM exaggerates almost every headline.Every headline is written to have “Breaking News!” in front of it; to get you to click on it. Clicks mean revenue. Clicks mean ratings for news outlets. A non-story can sound like the end of the world. A huge story can sound like something completely different than what the subject of the story is about.So, please, before you opine on anything on social media – because truth matters, because the facts matter – read the whole article. Frankly, I always read two or three from different sources just so I can read between the lines.Please do your due diligence. When we don't, that's how government can manipulate us; that's how people like Klaus Schwab and George Soros and the rest of the World Economic Forum crowd can manipulate us. It's time that we keep them from manipulating us.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce …Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into this morning's episode of The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I wanted to touch on an item in the news centering on the Archbishop of York which is a hierarchy position in the Church of England.The current Archbishop, in an interview, took issue with the Lord's Prayer and the words that open the Our Father saying that they were “too patriarchal” and they could “offend people”.I don't know that arrogance is a strong enough word for that statement but it does illustrate the intense arrogance and self-centeredness and selfishness of the woke movement.Jesus Christ was the one who handed down the words of The Lord's Prayer. Is the Archbishop, who is supposed to be someone who serves Christ, in a position to question the words that Jesus Christ used in the primary prayer that all Christians know?The Pope doesn't even have that kind of authority; to look at the words of Christ – the direct words of Christ; the direct words of the Savior – and say, “I wish Jesus really would have thought this through a little bit better so that he wouldn't have offended people”.When a movement can be offended by Jesus Christ – the most compassionate figure in all of human history – then something's wrong with that movement not something wrong with what Jesus Christ said.The woke movement is out of control! The people who adhere blindly to it are some of the most jaded, self-centered, selfish, megalomaniacs that I have ever run into. They can never be wrong. They always have to be right.Quite honestly, I'm done putting up with them and you should be too. When someone comes at you with wokeness stuff it right back down their throat! Tell them how childish and selfish and self-centered they’re being and how most of what they believe is not only divisive it's hateful.So, if you're woke you may want to take this warning to heart. Stay away from me! You're a cancer to a healthy body and personally, I hope that your movement dwindles so that the number of you is so few that you feel the kind of “canceling” that you've been trying to do to anyone who doesn't sit down and listen to your two-year-old temper tantrums.Woke is dead! Long live non-woke!!Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce …Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into this segment of The Captain's America: Third Watch, I wanted to announce the launching of my new book, Nullification: The Case For Decentralizing The Federal Government, now available at Amazon.com in both print and digital editions for Kindle.It's an important argument that I've been talking about a lot on Matt's show and in my writing. Utilizing nullification can help the states claw back power from an overreaching federal government. It is a tool that our Founders and Framers knew was valuable going all the way back to Madison and Jefferson. They argued for this ability. They argued to reserve the right of nullification for the states so the states could say to the federal government, “No. Your infringing on the 9th and 10th Amendments to the Constitution and we are not going to honor your authority in that vein.It's something the states can use today and, as I say in the book, California, Illinois, and New York have already set the precedent for the use of nullification in the way they're handling immigration; as sanctuary states, along with all of the sanctuary cities within them. If a state can say no to the federal government when it comes to immigration they can indeed say no to the federal government when it comes to EPA edicts, power grabs that try to take firearms out of the hands of law-abiding citizens, and even the woke ESG and LGBTQ+ agendas that the federal government is pushing so very hard.And then there's the issue of censorship.Nullification is something the states can use to fight back against the federal government.So, please get a copy of Nullification: The Case For Decentralizing The Federal Government, read it, and then send it to the chiefs of staff of the governors in your states. Send them to anybody who you trust in state government. Ask them to read it and ask them to push this initiative forward.This is one thing you can do to help right the wrong direction of this federal government; to right the ship back to the Constitution.

Before we get to today's segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I wanted to share with you one of my favorite speeches from the movie series John Adams.If you haven't seen it, it is a must-watch over the Independence Day weekend. It's a great depiction of what the Framers and the Founders – and the people of what is now the United States – went through in order to just embrace the privilege of Independence.Please listen to this speech, it is a reenactment of John Adams executing his speech in the Continental Congress just before the vote on Independence, which took place on July 2, 1776, not July 4. They needed two days to print the Declaration in order to get it out to the public. July 4 is when they announced it.This is a moving speech and one that led to 12 colonies voting for Independence and New York abstaining because of the threat the British posed to them at the time.Independence Day is much more than a date. That's why I don't say “4th of July”, I say “Independence Day”.It's important for us to recall what those people did for us at that moment in time; the seriousness and the reservations they had going forward. They knew it wasn't going to be easy. They didn't even really understand if they could win or not as they were going up against the most powerful military on the face of the planet.Yet they did. Because freedom is worth that cost.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce …Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into this segment of The Captain America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I wanted to share with you a clip from the late Antonin Scalia in which he talks about the benefits of gridlock at the federal government level.I've said this a few times. I'd rather Congress not do anything than keep doing what they're doing. They are spendthrifts and they are spendthrifts toward special interests. They no longer are good stewards of our tax monies and we must slow their spending down.We must also slow down their want to create legislation. We don't need them to constantly be creating legislation. We need them to craft good legislation which takes time, compromise, and a vast knowledge of the subject they're talking about.That doesn't happen today.So, please listen to the words of Antonin Scalia; wise words from someone gone way too soon and someone who was so good for our country.And keep these words in mind next time you hear someone from Washington in front of the microphone saying, “We must pass this legislation; We have to get this done before the break; We must get this done before we have recess!”No, we don't!Then, today’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce …Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I wanted to say a couple of things about the quality of the spines that Republicans in Washington DC have.First, I want to talk about Adam Schiff. Here's a guy who has been proven – beyond doubt, repeatedly – that he is a serial liar. The guy couldn't tell the truth if his life depended on it. And what does the House do? They censure him.Okay, great good move. You need to call him out on it; make sure that he has to wear “The Scarlet Letter”. But what happens to him? What punishment does he face?Honestly, Schiff should have been expelled. He should have had to petition to get back into Congress. His conduct sucks. He's not representing his people, he's representing only the far Left faction of his party. So, he's not fulfilling his oath of office.Then we need to look at John Durham.Okay, he finally came out and gave us his report and his report says – point blank – that there was no reason for the FBI in the DoJ to go after Donald Trump on the Russian collusion charge, etc, and that we should have been focusing on Hillary Clinton because not only did she mishandle a ton of classified and top secret document emails but she also constructed the entire interference into the election with the Russian collusion hoax.But again, what happens? Who gets held accountable? Who gets fired? The entirety of the upper-level DoJ should have to go but that's something Donald Trump should have done on his first day of office; thank them for their service and let them go or reassign them to, oh, I don't know, American Samoa!The Democrats, on the other hand, even when they don't have evidence of something, impeached a sitting President – twice – purely for political purposes.Do you see the two different games being played here? One is filled with action – even if it's not warranted and illegal and unconstitutional – and the other one is all rhetoric with no punishment!In order to compromise both parties have to be seated at the table in an ingenuous manner. Democrats aren't ingenuous.In order to compromise both parties have to be seated at the table in an ingenuous manner. Democrats aren't ingenuous. They're not seated at the table. They're busy burning down the town. Republicans are sitting at the table – across from no one – saying, “Well, I guess we have to compromise in order to get anything done here in the swamp”.A perfect example of how this idiocy keeps moving along Down K Street and into the halls of government comes in Mitch McConnell; the absolute worst Republican in Washington. If Kevin McCarthy doesn't want to be joined at the hip with him he better grow a set and start exacting punishment for the things being done by the radical Left in the Democrat Party.And Democrats?! You better start demanding that a debate take place between Robert F Kennedy Jr and Joe Biden. If the DNC flips you off like that by not holding debates I don't know why you're in the party…and it's your fault.So, Left, start holding your people accountable. Right, start punishing the people who break the law.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce…Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into this morning's segment with Matt Bruce on The Captain's America: Third Watch, I’d like to mention the lead article over at UndergroundUSA.com titled, The Not Ready for Prime Time Power Players. It all centers on information about the green energy movement that – I think we all have to be honest enough to admit – is true.As I've said before, I'm not against green energy. I'm just against downgrading our way of life to accommodate some people that I describe as eco-zealots; people who believe in climate alarmism and who have been saying for the last 50 to 60 years that we only have 12 years to go if we don't change our ways. Greta Thornburg is one of them. I think she's down now to like 2 years.These are the aggressive activists who insist that if you don't do everything they say and switch to an electric car (even though electric cars are charged by nuclear and coal and everything else) the Earth will be destroyed.No Greta, not really.So, please head on over to UndergroundUSA.com and give this a read, The Not Ready for Prime Time Power Players.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce…Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into this morning’s segment with Matt Bruce on The Captain's America: Third Watch, I want to point you to the lead article over at UndergroundUSA.com, Klaus Schwab: Why Does This Fascist Have Influence. Who is Klaus Schwab? What's his history? How was he brought up? What was he exposed to? What are his ideas? Where does he want to go? Those answers are part of the introduction that I give in this week’s featured piece at UndergroundUSA.com and which introduces a fantastic documentary that was released last week called The Great Awakening.It's made by the people who produced Plandemic. It's the third in the series. It is a powerful, powerful documentary that explains a lot.It explains why woke is happening. It explains the goals set forth by the people who believe they're running the world over at the World Economic Forum. And it lays out a roadmap for us to be cognizant of so that we can throw wrenches in that machine at every step possible. It must be stopped.This globalist, elitist, oligarchic, oppressive, totalitarian cabal at the World Economic Forum wants to usher in some of the most devastatingly oppressive stuff in the history of man and they're doing it using the model of the Communist Chinese today.So, please go over to UndergroundUSA.com and read Klaus Schwab: Why Does This Fascist Have Influence, and make the time to watch the documentary The Great Awakening. It is an important piece of information and one that you can use as a tool when you talk to people who've been affected by wokeness.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce…Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I'd like to welcome him back from an extended absence. He had some health problems and we wish him the best of health.As I told him this morning, I didn't know whether or not to give him the required rash of crap that firefighters usually give each other when something like that happens, just to place a little levity into the situation. I declined because, well, we've both been out of that business for quite a while…but we remain Brothers of the Badge.I wanted to also point you toward the featured article over at Underground USA, If We're Going To Push Back Let's Start At The Beginning.I talk about political correctness, how it popped onto the scene in the late 70’s and the early '80s, how it has morphed into something that opened the door wide open for wokeism, and how both of those selfish and self-centered philosophies allowed a very small group of people with very big mouths the opportunity to grab at the power to decide what is right what is wrong and, today, what you can believe and what you can't.Please go on over to UndergroundUSA.com and give it a read. It lands heavily on the concept of the unconstitutionality of hate speech laws and hate crime laws.Then this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with the returning Matt Bruce …Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into today's segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, Kyle Warren sitting in for a recovering Captain Matt Bruce, I wanted to play a segment of a podcast presented by the Heritage Foundation.I agree with a lot of the things they do – not all of it; I don't like the super behemoth think tank kind of thing that sucks all the air out of the room for people who are doing independent research (they don't tend to support people outside of their own realm) so that's a minus for the Heritage Foundation – but their information is solid. They try to do good work and I think they're leaning more in the right direction than a lot of the other think tanks.The segment of their podcast relates directly to the featured piece over at Underground USA this week titled, The Fight Against Wokeism Should Be A Bipartisan Effort. This speech centers on the speaker's experience growing up and escaping Communist China.The speaker is Lily Tang Williams. She grew up in China and witnessed Mao Zedong's “Cultural Revolution” firsthand. A Chinese lawyer and law school professor, she was able to leave China and is now an American citizen. She speaks about her experiences and the dangers of communism.Wokeism is born of Marxism. They're just coming at itfrom a different way; a more cultural way.Make no mistake. Wokeism is born of Marxism. They're just coming at it from a different way; a more cultural way. What you're about to hear are Mrs. Tang Williams’ remarks from a panel held at the Heritage Foundation in December of 2021. The event was called Communism's Dark Tyranny and it was co-hosted by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.It's an important listen because she describes what it's like growing up behind the curtain of Communism and when you start to see the parallels, as I point out in my piece – which I wrote before I listen to this podcast, when you see the parallels between the Marxist revolution, the creation of Marxism back in the late 1800s, and Mao’s communist-led revolution – his so-called cultural revolution, both “revolutions” killing tens of millions of people while they oppressed everybody under their domain; squashing freedom into non-existence, it is impossible to deny what is happening here in the United States today.Wokeism isn't emanating from the Left. It doesn't define the Left in the United States. It's nowhere close to the founding ideologies of what the Democrat Party was or is. It is a foreign ideology that has infiltrated the Democrat Party and captured its leadership.We must actively push back. Reagan was correct when he said we're never more than one generation from losing freedom and right now we're not expending enough effort to make sure that we preserve Freedom, not only for our children's generation but, quite frankly, for the end of our own.

Before we get into this morning’s segment of The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, guest hosted by Kyle Warren, I wanted to say a few words about Memorial Day: what it means and how the woke segment of our society is affecting that legacy.Today is not a day for saying “Happy Memorial Day”. It's a day of observance; a day to remember the people who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we could have our freedom; so that we could go about our daily lives even with the petty disagreements that we have politically.But one has to wonder what those who did make the ultimate sacrifice would think of our society today and especially the way the woke element of our society is affecting the US Military.It can't be stated more strongly. Our US Armed Forces are adversely affected by woke policies. There's no other way to look at it. The US military is meant to be the most potent and effective war machine on the planet, serving the forces for good around the world and especially in defense of our country. But the globalists and the woke within the governmental machine – within the “swamp” – are degrading our military capabilities by pushing woke ideology upon them: LGBTQ+, ESG, equity, diversity, and inclusion…The US military is a meritocracy. The best rise to the top or at least that's the way it's supposed to be. It's not supposed to be about creating a falsely leveled playing field so that quota boxes can be checked. Our military and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice deserve better than what is happening today. They deserve better than to be led by commanders who would call the withdrawal from Afghanistan a “success”.We all need to understand one thing about the work ideology and this is very important.It's not a Left or Right thing. It's not a Republican or Democrat thing. The woke movement is a neo-fascist movement that is taking root in the very far Left of the Democrat Party.If we're to survive this onslaught of stupidity; of arrogant, ignorant, stupidity, then people from both the Left and the Right have to identify it as something that's attacking our nation as a whole not just one political belief system. And we have to push back.Just saying that you're not going to buy Coke or not going to buy Bud Light or not going to shop at Target, doesn't cut it. You have to take an active role in pushing back. That's a must. Otherwise, we lose.Today, we honor the men and the women who have fallen in service to our country. On Memorial Day – whether you are sitting at the beach or going about your barbecues or walking in the park – take a moment to give thanks and be reverent about those who gave all so that you and I can have some.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce Kyle Warren sitting in…we talk a little bit about the debt ceiling and government as a whole …Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce – Kyle Warren sitting in for him, I wanted to expound a little bit on the Kennedy candidacy, how the media is not covering it, and why the media is not covering it.I've been saying for a very long time that the Democrat Party leadership is not representative of the Democrat Party rank-and-file. The leadership in the Democrat Party is very far Left. They are Progressive; they are not Democrats. Progressives are not Democrats. They just run under that moniker.They like to be a true big-tent party and you can see this with their inclusion of Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and full-blown admittedly Socialist Bernie Sanders. That wing has captured the Democrat Party.The Democrats are a legacy of the Kennedy family who were true Democrats. Yes, they were Left of Center but they were closer to the Center than the fascist radicals that now control the Democrat Party.Why aren't the media and the DNC getting behind a Kennedy candidacy? Because the fascist Left – the radical Progressive fascist Left – now controls the apparatus in Washington under the banner of the Democrat Party. These same fascist Progressives control media so they are just going to ignore the Kennedy candidacy hoping to get another term out of “President Oatmeal”.So, the more attention we give to Robert F Kennedy Jr's candidacy – and how he is a cognizant polar opposite of Joe Biden and the fascist Progressive machine in Washington – the better it will be if – God forbid – a Republican doesn't take the White House in 2024.This entire election cycle has to be about platforms; it has to be about policy. It cannot be about a media-controlled narrative that serves the fascist Progressives on the very far left of the Democrat Party; a fascist Left that is just foaming at the mouth to give the United States to globalism.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce…Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get to this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I wanted to touch on the subject of media delinquency.Right now, the biggest story for the mainstream news media is George Santos and the fact that he's a liar and never should have been elected to Congress (another product of New York politics that New Yorkers should be ashamed of) when there are two stories out there that need to be exposed.The first is the Biden scandal – which is a scandal. It makes Watergate look like nothing. This is grafting for influence. This is “payola” if you remember the 70s; pay to play.The Bidens have been caught – red-handed – doing it but nothing will come of it because we have a corrupt DoJ and even the Republicans understand that if we impeach this idiot – this criminal idiot – then we have Kamala Harris, which is equal a disaster to what Biden was.You can watch for Democrats to begin to throw him under the bus very shortly and start to talk up Gavin Newsom…God help us.But a bigger story not being covered (and I have to give kudos to Reuters for this, which is an anomaly because Reuters has been caught fabricating things in the past) is that Secretary of State Blinken and the US State Department not only slow-walked information about the Chinese spy balloon flying over the United States and gathering information in real-time about our military bases, but they also placated so as to not “offend” the Communist Chinese.They rolled back sanctions against Huawei, the spying component of the Communist Chinese technical world, and they also rolled back sanctions against human rights violations and I'm talking about the enslavement of the Uyghurs.With all the talk of reparations for slavery – slavery that ended in 1865, beginning the struggle of the Civil Rights Movement but slavery ended in 1865 in the United States (by the way the only country ever to go to war to eradicate it and a leader in eradicating slavery around the world by that action) – with all the talk of reparations from the radical Left, the racist Left, the fascist Left, why aren't they up in arms about the existing slavery that's happening in China and in Afghanistan and in Asia?It exists today in South America in all of these regions. Where are they to scream that it must be abolished; eradicated? It's happening in real-time yet they're nowhere. They're more worried about a cross-dressing guy having the right to be on a beer can that’s not for sale…who's probably wearing clothes that were manufactured in China by slaves.We have our priorities unbelievably backward in this country.As China and Russia make totalitarian moves around the world to extend their influence, to destroy the free market, to destroy freedom, to eradicate free speech, we're worried about transgender rights which literally, from all the studies, encompasses less than 1 percent of the population.There's slavery in the world but let's focus on that.The media is pathetic. We have to have a revolution that ends the dominance of the network news media once and for all. And I think that's coming. Pay attention to what's coming down the pike here at Underground USA. There's going to be some exciting news coming in the future.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce … Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get to this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I wanted to touch on something that we didn't talk about today and that was Joe Biden's interview in which he pretty much said – point blank – that Hunter Biden didn't do anything wrong and that he loves him.If you can’t hear the footsteps of a pardon coming, should Hunter be indicted and by a miracle of God get convicted, then you can't understand English.When people don't care about their reputations – and honestly the Biden's don't give a damn about their reputations seeing as how they just keep lying to the people while they have their hands in the taxpayers’ pocket, when people don't care about their reputations they use everything at the disposal to get ahead.The Bidens have been opportunists the entire time they've been in public life and probably before. So, the idea that Joe Biden would pardon Hunter for what he has done in facilitating that family’s incredible riches; riches the Biden family has acquired while in public service, now that's conceivable.Just wanted to put that on the radar going forward. Pay attention to the rhetoric coming out of the President because he has every intention of pardoning his son for the crimes he has committed.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce … Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce – in which we talk about the unholy connection between Vice President Kamala Harris and Artificial Intelligence, among other things, I wanted to point you to the featured article over at UndergroundUSA.com titled, The Separation of Powers Is a Thing.This subject of this article address is something that we touched on in the segment today in that the Democrats in the US Senate are executing a gigantic encroachment on the Separation of Powers in their hearings on imposing ethics onto the United States Supreme Court.Each of the three branches of our federal government is co-equal, which means no one branch lords over the other. There are checks and balances but there is no subservience by any branch to another.So, the Senate, the House – the Legislative Branch – cannot tell the Judicial Branch what to do or how to run their branch. The same can be said for the Executive Branch.Each of the three branches has a specific task and authority. The Executive Branch executes government. The Legislative Branch legislates laws that the Executive Branch has to execute (which brings up a completely different issue here in the fact that the Executive Branch is creating laws via regulation but I'm not going to get into that right now). And the Judicial Branch decides all matters of constitutionality regarding the laws the Legislature has passed and the Executive Branch has signed into law.So, for the Legislative Branch to believe that they can tell the Judicial Branch that they have to do things or they're going to hold back money? That in and of itself is unconstitutional.This is basically a power grab and that's what the article The Separation of Powers Is a Thing is all about. Please check it out. It's very important.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce …Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

I’m doing something a little different in this episode. I am going to be talking with Katherine Novikov. She’s the host of the Fires of Freedom podcast – heard everywhere podcasts are heard – and the Executive Director of the Diamond Minds Foundation, a 501c3 focused on helping people – especially our nation’s youth see the world – its governments and organizations; culture and societies, without distortion.Katherine is part of a grassroots initiative championing a bill that is currently working its way through the Texas Legislature. Texas House Bill 4903 would codify into law the authority for the State of Texas to issue legal tender – in the form of a debit card – based on the gold and silver they hold in that state’s bullion depository.In this day and age when the US Federal Reserve has grotesquely mismanaged the value of the US dollar, affecting not only our economy here at home but economies around the world, and with many people are looking for alternatives to stabilizing their wealth outside of the Fed’s manipulation (think decentralized cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and stable coins based in tangible assets), this initiative making it through the Texas Legislature holds amazing promise.I had the opportunity to sit down with Katherine, who is a key player in the Texas initiative.If you want to learn more about Texas House Bill 4903 – which as of this recording has made its way to the Calendar Committee of the Texas Legislature, you can log on to TransactionalGold.com. For those who live in the Great State of Texas, there is a link there from which you can take action.Just like any grassroots initiative, making contact with elected officials is vital. Emails are great but phone calls are always better. When you do make contact, there are always two things to keep in mind. First, be respectful. No one likes to be talked down to. And second, use the contact as a teachable moment. Briefly present the facts and how it would benefit the politico. When they hear how it benefits them individually, they see the most precious of commodities for politicians. Votes.For those paying attention – or for those who do the household finances and/or shopping, it has become abundantly clear that we cannot trust the federal government or the Federal Reserve to be good stewards of the value of our money. It is up to us to not only research the best avenues for securing the value of our accrued wealth but to oppose regulatory limitations that the power-hungry of the federal political class would place on our freedoms to travel those avenues.Texas HB4903.

Before we get into this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce I wanted to expound a bit on the dangers of consolidated power, especially in government.Our Founders and Framers actually put together a country that ended up being 50 separate states with 50 separate constitutions. The federal government they created, through the US Constitution and Bill of Rights, was to establish a loose association of the 50 states with the 50 separate constitutions so that we could be seen as a country. It never established an all-powerful, all-demanding, totalitarian centralized government like today.They wanted the federal government to fill in the cracks and to allow the 50 states (back then 13 colonies turned into States) to be able to band together to protect themselves in concert and to deal with trade between the states. That's really all it was ever supposed to be.But with the advent of the Woodrow Wilson administration and the centralization of power in the federal government – and that continuation of the centralization of power with every single president since, we now have this massive centralized federal government that has clawed authority away from the states to become this totalitarian, centralized form of government; government that doesn't adhere to the limitations set forth for the federal government in the US Constitution. They just keep clawing more power to centralized government.The same thing goes for centralized finance.In the beginning, every state had its own currency. But a bunch of really rich guys got together at Jekyll Island, Georgia, at the beginning of the 20th Century and created the Federal Reserve in collusion with the Wilson administration to create this centralized banking system that we have today; a banking system that has failed to protect the value of money.Centralized power was never in the game plan for the United States. Yet, here we are.So, how do we reverse this? The state legislatures and the governors must claw back their power through nullification, and some pretty big brains – who want to champion states’ rights and a return to constitutionalism – have to figure out how to interrupt the direct flow of federal revenue through taxation from the people to the federal government.There's no reason we can't remit in bulk through the states every year, the states being the guardians of what we really have to pay the federal government. We have to fund the military and we have to fund some pretty egregious social programs that were passed over the years since Woodrow Wilson. But we shouldn't have to pay for turtle tunnels and we shouldn't have to pay for a lot of the stuff we are paying for. That money can stay with the states. Something to consider going forward. Centralized power is always a bad thing.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce… Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before I get into this morning's segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I wanted to elaborate a little bit more about Kevin McCarthy’s spending bill and the other spending that Congress seems so capable of doing.We shouldn't be happy with the McCarthy bill that went through the House because it still raises the debt ceiling and it still spends beyond our means. We are nowhere close to spending within our means regarding the revenue stream that goes to the federal government.The engine for acquiring that revenue scheme is antiquated and needs to be completely overhauled and reformed. As it is, we are just racking up debt that will never be paid off, not in the lifetimes of our great-great-grandchildren, if at all.Another thing to keep an eye on is legislation coming down the tube that has to do with controlling your money.A Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is a very bad idea. It gives the federal government full control over your money. They can shut it off with the flip of a switch. We saw that happen in Canada when the truckers were protesting against COVID. And you see it in China, every single day, used against people that don't conform to the party line.So, a CBDC is a very, very bad idea.Another horrible idea coming through the tube is Elizabeth Warren's proposed legislation that would regulate cryptocurrency wallets. She's not stupid. She's not going after the cryptocurrency (although she's on record as hating it because the federal government cannot control it). She's going after the wallets it's kept in; to regulate those.Every single thing about her bill controls your money and as we've seen over the years the federal government is a terrible steward of your money. They overspend. They spend on things that we don't want. They try to push agendas upon us with our money. We can't allow that to happen.So, you have to take to your keyboards and you have to tell your Senators that Elizabeth Warren's anti-crypto wallet bill needs to die before it even comes to the floor for a vote.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce… Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into this week's segment on Talkback with Chuck Wilder – our last segment with Chuck Wilder on that program (he is retiring at the end of the month), I wanted to acknowledge his incredible career.He's been a radio pioneer; somebody who was behind the mic during the golden days of radio – both as a disc jockey (a DJ) and as a producer and then as a host of his show.He produced for George Putnam, the legendary radio talk show host out of the West Coast, for many years until Mr. Putnam's passing, and then the torch was passed to Chuck.He's done an incredible job and it's been a privilege to have been a reoccurring guest; a regular guest on his show for the past 18 years. That he would keep coming back to have conversations with me about what I believed to be important, my writings, things in the news, was a true honor. It was a privilege to be part of his career, especially at the end.So, enjoy your retirement Mister Wilder!

Before we get into this morning's episode of The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I'd like to expound a little bit on the primary topic of that interview today and that has to do with what's happening over in Sudan.The Biden administration ensured that 80 government employees were evacuated from the US Embassy in Khartoum, effectively closing that US Embassy in Sudan before they made sure to get US citizens to safety.Below is a screenshot of a communique from the US State Department regarding a query from a US citizen stranded there by the Biden administration:That's unacceptable. We should have learned that from the egregious withdrawal from Afghanistan.You make sure that you evacuate the US civilians before you close an embassy or a military base because US embassies and US military bases are considered sovereign land to the United States. Every country's embassy is a sovereign territory in a foreign country.Now that we don't have sovereign territory in Khartoum if we are to send troops in to rescue the 16,000-plus Americans that were left behind, it constitutes an invasion of that country with US troops.It’s hard to believe that the people in charge of the Pentagon and the White House are this stupidly incompetent. There has to be something else in play here. In the last segment of this interview, Matt expresses that he thinks it's all about money and all about getting the corporations to pay for it so the Biden administration can keep wasting our tax dollars on forcing us into green energy, BigTech, and banking schemes that we all don't really want.If that's the case, my only questions are these. How do you impeach an entire administration all at once short of going to an election? And when we do get to this next election, is half the country going to remain as ideologically stunted in their thinking as they were last time around?I don't know.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce…Take Back Your Mind...Think For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into this morning's episode of Talkback with Chuck Wilder, I wanted to expound a little bit on what we talked about in the first two segments, which is an incredible article by Dr. Robert Malone titled, Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria.This article examines the transgender craze and breaks down the numbers, specifically numbers addressing people with actual gender dysphoria diagnosis and the larger amount of people who are just coat-tailing on a fad.Who's pushing that fad? How is it damaging to the entire world, especially the entire free world?It's an important read. We talk about it, in depth. It’s worth the listen; worth the read.So, listen to the episode and then head on over to Dr. Robert Malone's page and click on Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria.

Before we get to this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I’d like to talk about an upcoming piece – “The Whole World’s Watching” – about the chaos and violence, and shootings in Chicago that happened over the weekend, April 15th, 2023.We need to address the ideological philosophies and political policies – and the abstract ignorance – that led to hundreds of teenagers swamping Michigan Avenue, the main thoroughfare in downtown Chicago, trying to storm the Art Institute of Chicago, and attacking people coming out of Millennium Park; tourists and residents alike.This cannot stand! And the response by the new mayor, Brandon Johnson, is beyond shameful.

Before we get into this morning’s segment on Talkback with Chuck Wilder, I wanted to double down on one of the points we made in the first story.I am on record, many times, as saying I don't care about your sexuality. I don't care if you're gay. I don't care if you're trans. I don't care. Whatever you want to pursue to make yourself happy in that sphere have at it. Be fulfilled. Be who you are. I celebrate that. I want you to be happy.But I don't care for the aggressive activism that sees trans protesters punching women who've been directly affected by that movement in the face; physically assaulting them. I'm talking about Riley Gaines in San Francisco. That's a step too far.It's one thing to say, “Hey, accept me for who I am. Please recognize this.” It's absolutely another thing to say, “You have to not only accept me but you have to celebrate it every second of your life and be included in everything you do every second of the day.That's bullshit. You're right to “throw a punch” ends where my nose begins. That's what individualism is all about; that's what freedom is all about.When you start castigating people because they don't march in lockstep with your ideology then you're the asshole. Again, it's one thing to say, “Hey, try to understand who I am and accept me for who I am.” It's quite another to say, “You've got to get into my parade and march down the street with me and advocate and believe in every single thing I believe in otherwise you're a bigot; you're homophobic; you're xenophobic.”That kind of bullying used to be abhorred by the people on the radical Left; it used to be rejected and condemned by the people on the Left in the mainstream. I don't see that happening today. And as for the feminist movement, the women's movement, the #MeToo movement? You have men identifying as women who are coming into things that you fought for for almost 100 years, destroying it for biological women. Where the hell are you to say, “Hey! That's not right”?If those in the trans and LGBTQ+ movement aren’t honest enough to understand that the biological differences between biological males and biological females are real; that differences are there in the muscle structure, in the physical structure – it's just real and honest science – if you're not honest enough to be able to acknowledge and recognize that then how do you expect me to accept and recognize what you would like me to recognize?That street has to go both ways. It can't always just be your way or no way at all or you burn it down. That's what a 3-year-old does.So, right now, to the whole trans movement: If you don’t take control of your movement so that you are not so far over the line people are afraid to speak, then you are the neo-fascists; you are the oppressors; you are the totalitarians.Call me whatever you want. Your names mean nothing to me anymore because you've abused the privilege to communicate with me.We've got to take a sharp turn in this country because we're losing it. It's supposed to be freedom and opportunity for all not just the loudest voice in the room.Then, this morning’s segment on Talkback with Chuck Wilder… Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into this morning's segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I want to expound and reiterate one of the overarching themes of the first segment and that is that our diplomacy in the United States doesn't exist.The State Department under the Biden Administration has completely failed. When you look at the ascendance of Communist China and their cooperative state with Russia, and their ability to foment relations between countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran to make the Islamic fascist World cohesive, and that they're all on the same page about toppling the United States from being at the top of the heap – including moving away from the US dollar as the world reserve currency, you see that they are actively attacking the United States.And our State Department has failed in intervening to make sure that they haven't coalesced a coalition of countries against the West – and the United States specifically.This Administration cannot be out of office quickly enough.If you voted for Joe Biden – or you know someone who voted for Joe Biden, you really either have to ask them to reevaluate what they're thinking or move them beyond the “orange man bad” thing because their vote – their vote – to put Joe Biden in office facilitated the ascendance of Communist China – and their cooperative relationship with Russia, Iran, and Saudi Arabia – to the point where now we have France saying that they don't “want to have any part of World War III.”They're openly talking about World War III!They don't want anything to do with World War III and oh, by the way, they don’t want to be as dependent as they are on the US dollar for their trade.Those are not good signals for the United States. We need to wake up.These popularity contests that we call presidential elections, they have to be about policy not about what the media wants to shop us.We've got to wake up!

Before we get into today’s episode of The Captain’s America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I wanted to touch on a point that was made in the second segment.With the announcement by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. that he has tossed his hat in the ring for the Democrat nomination for president in 2024, Republicans have to get serious about exorcising the cult of personality from the campaign trail and party platform and focus seriously on defining why conservative, non-globalist policies are a better choice for our nation.Kennedy has stated that his platform is anti-BigPharma, anti-Swamp, anti-bureaucracy, and anti-neo-fascism in the unholy alliance between today’s Woke federal government and the manipulators of the elitist-globalist private sector. This platform is squarely in the middle and, therefore, will require smart politicking, not the current bumper sticker mentality.If – and it is still an if because the Kennedy candidacy throws a huge wrench into the neo-fascist control of the leftmost wing of the Democrat Party; it is a direct threat to the Clinton/Obama/Biden handler team – Kennedy is the nominee, it doesn’t matter who the Republicans run as a candidate, the cult of personality will not win the election.It has been a long time coming that the GOP stopped its response-centered style of politicking and moved to establish the narrative. Establishing that narrative with a message mired in accurate, fact-based information that educates and informs the populace is a winning strategy.Running on soundbites and slogans; advancing another cult of personality pissing match that during the primary damages everyone on the debate stage in another pathetic attempt to be the opposite of what the DNC wants itself to be today, is a stupid strategy. We, on the Center-Left, the Center, and Right, have to up the game from its current 1970s National Enquirer state of being.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain’s America: Third Watch… Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into this morning’s segment on Talkback with Chuck Wilder, I want to talk a little bit more about Freedom of SpeechIt's enshrined in the First Amendment and we believe that we have it but throughout history, the freedom of speech has been something that is vacillated to a lesser extent and a more potent extent.There is a great book titled Free of Speech by Jacob Mchangama that I urge you to either pick up and read or download and listen to (I listen to my books, I just consume it better that way). We always need to jealously guard our right to free speech. We saw, through the COVID debacle, that our federal government believes free speech is fluid and something that can be manipulated. That shouldn't be the case.Our Bill of Rights, the way that our country was set up; the covenant that the people have with the government, establish us in a constant state of freedom as mandated by the Bill of Rights. Some in the private sector have come to not understand that. They hide behind the fact that the Bill of Rights is something that limits the federal government and they believe they can do whatever they want. We saw Twitter do it in censoring valid voices from the medical community. We saw it in Facebook censoring valid voices that had alternative viewpoints to the established narrative.Those companies are not living in the spirit of the Bill of Rights and they should be condemned for it.Free Speech also comes with a boatload of responsibility. You need to do your homework to make sure you've got your facts straight before you decide to opine. There are a lot of people – especially on the fascist Left, and I'm going to name some names: Rob Reiner, Kathy Griffin, Steve Colbert, all of the idiots on late night what's-supposed-to-be-comedy TV talk shows, all of them – they shoot their mouths off based on pure opinion and emotion, failing to research the facts of the matter, failing to consider both sides of an argument, and failing to come to a measured and logical, common sense-based conclusion.Social media has supercharged this melody in our society and we – each and every one of us – have to take responsibility for our own contributions on social media and dial the emotionally charged, non-fact-based, bullshit back.This is why the last election was based purely on a personality contest. It had zero to do with the policies that were put in place, zero. The policies that were in place were very good for our nation; we're very good for our people. We had low unemployment. We had an explosion in small business ownership, an explosion in minority homeownership. We were respected around the world. But the Mainstream Media Complex manipulated the population into believing something that facilitated an emotionally charged personality contest and that's why, “Orange man bad” won.If there's one person that should be condemned most of all it's Rob Reiner. A bigger moron I have never come across. Just read some of his tweets. He’s a complete and utter jagoff. That might be a little too spicy for you but I don't know how else to characterize him. Read his tweets and you'll understand.Free speech. It's something worth fighting for but we have to do it coming from an informed and educated vantage point that looks at the opposing argument and comes to rational conclusions before we open our mouths or put fingers to keyboards.

Before we get into this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I wanted to expound a little bit on what we talked about in the incredible blunder the radical Left – the fascist Left – has executed in inditing a former president.Let's take the Trump thing out of it for a second because there's enough Trump derangement syndrome on the Left to last millennia. The idea that we can go back into an ex-president's past after he leaves office and start cherry-picking things on which to bring him to account lends itself to political retribution. This Is the stuff of Third-World nations. This Is the stuff of Venezuela, Cuba, etc.We can't have political retribution in the United States. Yes, if you broke the law you should have to pay a price for it. But going and digging into someone's past and digging and digging and digging beyond what you would do to a regular citizen to persecute him because of your political ideology, that does make us a Banana Republic.So, this George Soros-funded attack on an ex-president – and you didn't see him looking into the past actions of Barack Obama; you didn't see his surrogates looking into Bill Clinton, ironically for the same thing that they're trying to go after Trump for – it's only one side that George Soros-funded money is going to attack and destroy. That's why we have to push back on this.If you are a clear-thinking Democrat, a Libertarian, an Independent, a Republican, conservative, you have to push back against the fascist Left. They're not what we are. They don't like the United States. They don't like the American ideal. They don't care for the American experiment. They're more simpatico to the Communist Chinese centralized government with total power that bestows rights upon citizens. We don't have that in the United States. We have inalienable rights granted by our Creator; a higher power, not the government.So, these George Soros-funded; special interest-funded attacks in the political sphere? We have to start expunging those to get back to a pure kind of politick in the United States…as odd as that may sound right.

Before we get into this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I wanted to expound a little bit on what we talked about today in the first segment and which is the indictment of former president Donald Trump.I don't care whether you like Donald Trump, voted for him, didn't vote for him, have problems with him, or hate his guts (like Rob Reiner), but we can't turn into the Banana Republic that the radical Left wants us to become.Going after ex-presidents for things that are already adjudicated by finding new nuances to charge him opens up every ex-president to being scrutinized. When we're talking about hush money, now Bill Clinton has to be in the crosshairs, he must. He paid – while being an elected official – hush money to Paula Jones. So, he needs to be indicted by the authorities in that judicial location. It simply must happen.It also opens up Joe Biden to being investigated after he leaves office about his connections to Ukraine and the Ukrainian government and Burisma and China and all of the companies that have paid into the Biden family.The Left never thinks things through, lumbering ahead like a bull in a china shop wrecking everything to get to what they think is the prize. A more ignorant group of people I have never come across. They are simply in it for immediate gratification, power, and riches. They have no ethics and no morality…and no good political long-term sense.I've got my own issues with Donald Trump going into this 2024 General Election season but that's beside the point. The point here is that we don't go after political people in the manner of political persecution; for the benefit of one political faction. That's what Nicholas Maduro does in Venezuela. That’s the Castros in Cuba. That's what Vladimir Putin does in what was once known as the Soviet Union, today Russia.If we're going to maintain the freedoms that we have in the United States – and right now with the Woke generation I don't know if that can happen (as Victor Davis Hansen said in a recent interview, a more ignorant and arrogant generation has never existed on the face of the planet…maybe at the fall of the Roman Empire with all of their excesses but that may just come in a very close second), if we're going to maintain the freedoms that we have and stay on course with the Great American Experiment, we have got to stop with the tit-for-tat political garbage that the Left has sucked us into.People like Rob Reiner, Kathy Griffin, Joy Behar, and the rest of that disgusting ilk, can't lead the charge on this; they can't say “Follow me!” where ethics and morality are concerned. People, they gave us Harvey Weinstein! They gave us Jeffrey Epstein!So, let's get back to – I'm not saying Bible-thumping, but some sense of common sense, some sense of ethics and morality. Otherwise, we lose the country and right now we're steamrolling down that path.Then, this morning’s segment and The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce… Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before this morning’s segment on Talkback with Chuck Wilder, I wanted to expound a little bit about what we talked about and urge you to go over to UndergroundUSA.com and read the featured article: Understanding That The Federal Reserve Isn't A Government Entity.There's a great short 29-minute video embedded. It's animated and it's got some entertainment value but that's just a vehicle to get you to understand what is in the content.This video explains the genesis and all of the nefarious actions of the Federal Reserve bringing us up-to-date with what they have done to the American people, the economy of the United States, and the economy of the world.The Federal Reserve is not your friend; it is not something that protects you, even though they have its minion FDIC, it is something that fleeces the taxpayers, manipulates the value of money, and it is increasingly proprietary when it comes to the economy.They are extremely anti-cryptosphere. They hate Bitcoin. They hate Ethereum. They hate the entire sphere for one reason and one reason only. They can't control it!Please watch the video. After that, once you’re ticked – and I know you will be, please pick up the book, The Creature From Jekyll Island, and read it cover-to-cover.You will never look at the Federal Reserve or our federal government – or the Progressive Left (read: neo-Fascists) quite the same ever again.Then, this morning’s segment on Talkback with Chuck Wilder…Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get to this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I wanted to expound briefly on what we discussed.We talked a bit about the lack of electric vehicle charging stations along major corridors of the United States, which lends to the argument that the infrastructure bill that President Biden keeps bragging about having passed didn't do anything to actually do anything for infrastructure. It just kind of went into the deep pockets of his campaign donors…and it brings about the echoes of Obama past, doesn't it (think Solyndra).Then we get into the recent speech in Waco by former president Donald Trump, some of the things he said that the crowd liked, and especially some of the stuff that he said that the crowd didn't like. It leads to the conclusion that he has got to pivot away from the sophomoric campaigning of 2016 and get serious about what he did; explaining what he did when he was in office.This is very important, otherwise, we're going to hand it all back to Biden and Harris and the Democrats.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce… Take Back Your MindThink For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into this morning’s segment on Talkback with Chuck Wilder, I'd like to reiterate what we talked about to a great extent in this episode and that is the danger the Communist Chinese pose to our culture.While we always look at China as being a country with a very large military – that has stolen intellectual property relating to military ability from the United States and other countries around the world for the last 10 years at least – the biggest threat we face from the Communist Chinese is their infiltration of our culture to glean how we think and mold it to their benefit.I've said it a bunch of times on the different radio shows that I'm on and it bears saying again. If you have TikTok on your phone you're feeding the Communist Chinese Party and government information they use to figure out how to manipulate the culture here in the United States.Get rid of TikTok! Don't use it. If it's on your phone make sure it's completely off of it because it doesn't have to be in use to be gleaning data from your phone.The company that owns TicTok reports directly to the Communist Chinese government.When you look at our university systems, each major campus has an entity on it that actually promotes Chinese culture; that is funded by the Communist Chinese government. You see how that's affected the culture on campuses.Right now, a majority of students coming out of college believe that socialism isn't so bad; communism, maybe we should give it a try, even though throughout history – in every instance – it has failed and oppressed people, sometimes causing mass genocide as in the days of Mao and Stalin.This time the Communist Chinese don't want to fire a shot. This time they are trying to manipulate our culture into believing that they're actually just wonderful, wonderful people who want to live in harmony with everybody else. It’s just that they’ve found to “better way.”Don't worry about the slave labor they use. Don't worry about the social credit scoring they used to diminish their people; to coerce them into the way they want them to think and live. Don't look at any of that.But keep on using TikTok. Keep on giving them the data they can use to figure out how to touch you, personally, in your life; to alter the way you look at the Communist Chinese so that they “kind of” look like a friend.The Communist Chinese are not our friends. They are a very lethal enemy and they're coming for the United States.Then, this morning’s segment on Talkback with Chuck Wilder… Take Back Your mind...Think For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into this morning's episode on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, in which we talk about the non-existent indictment of Donald Trump, I'd like to point out that in the media realm, that story sucked all the air out of the room.The fake news of a Trump indictment being used as a “bright-shiny thing,” we are being distracted from what happened with the Federal Reserve, the Treasury Department, and a few of the banks that went belly up.Once again, banks were bailed out by the American people in the guaranteeing of deposits beyond the established limit, that everyone knew about. This is another “too big to fail” type of mechanism the federal government is using to reward the ultra-rich who are ignoring risk to make money because they know the taxpayer is always going to be forced to bail them out.If they don't feel some kind of pain for their bad economic practices how are we going to have a stable market? We can't have a stable Market! If banking institutions realize they can act in any manner they want; as risky as they want; as unethical and immoral as they want; as socially engineered as they want – without repercussions, what's to stop them from going even further than they’ve already they've gone?But hey! Orange man bad! Make sure we talk about an indictment that hasn't been issued; that neither side says is coming down. Make sure that's the number one story in the media.Are you getting it yet? The mainstream media complex is not on your side and they don't deliver accurate information. They are pawns in a bigger game that manipulates you.Then this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce…Take Back Your mind...Think For YourselfSupport Independent Journalism Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I wanted to point out an article on substack by Dr. Naomi Wolf. It is called, Dear Conservatives, I Apologize.It is a great chronological timeline of someone awakening from being Woke and opening their eyes to the manipulation and disingenuous narratives of the Left.Naomi Wolf was somebody who was engrained in the Leftist culture. Through the COVID crisis, she was able to not only see how the Left gaslights people; manipulates people; coerces people, but she's come to understand all of that reaches into every aspect of their culture. It is something that is dishonest. It is something that is opportunistic.It's a great article. It's got some history in it. I highly recommend it. It's something that will give you a road map to use when you confront people who are still Woke but on the cusp. It'll give you some tools to bring them back into the center so they can think for themselves rather than just vomiting narrative.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce… Take Back Your Mind…Think For Yourself Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before we get into this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I want to kind of add more emphasis on something we talked about this morning’s episode and that has to do with the pivot that the Biden team and Democrats, in general, are going to make going into the election season for 2024.We have seen President Biden okaying a giant swath of land up in Alaska for oil drilling yet for the last two years he and his team have been demonizing the fossil fuel industry; hobbling it, causing gas prices to go through the ceiling.So, why is he doing this? Well, it has nothing to do with the economic well-being of the people in Alaska. He doesn't win Alaska. Alaska's a Red State. What it has to do with is looking as though he's pivoting to the center.It is a deception.You need to remember the pain that this man caused everybody for two years. You have to remember all of the asinine appointments that he made to his cabinet; like Pete Buttigieg, who has absolutely no business being Secretary of Transportation; like a cross-dressing, bald man who decided to steal luggage at an airport otherwise he would still be in power making policy that you have to live by.So, you need to remember the pain. You have to dispense with the rhetoric and stop following the media narrative going into the elections. Do your own research. Remember the pain and stop falling for “orange man bad,” because they're going to run on that again whether he's the candidate or not.

Before we get into this week's segment on Talkback with Chuck Wilder, I wanted to touch on an idea that Marjorie Taylor-Green has been promoting and that's the “National Divorce.” I get what she's trying to say. She's saying it wrong.We don't need a National Divorce. What we need to do is revert to the way that our country was set up to be: 50 separate states with 50 separate constitutions and a federal government that fills in the cracks.Ever since Woodrow Wilson, we have evolved into a centralized federal government that has clawed power away from the states and that's not the way it was supposed to be. Our country was supposed to be 50 separate entities. This way, if California decided they wanted to live life in a certain manner they could without affecting Texas, Florida, or any other state in the Union. It also guarded against California using more federal tax dollars to bail out their irresponsible policies from states that have responsible policies. The government that was meant to touch our lives the most was the state government, not the federal government. The federal government was made to provide for a common defense, deal with limited interstate commerce, and execute diplomacy overseas. What we have now is a centralized government that has neutered the powers of the states, to a great extent, encroaching upon their authority and thus creating this need for what Margaery Taylor-Green calls a National Divorce.But it's not a National Divorce. It's reverting to the original state of what our country was supposed to be: 50 separate states with 50 separate constitutions, bound together into a covenant that formed a union that employed a limited and enumerated powered federal government that didn't encroach on the individual life.So, no National Divorce. It would be getting back to good.If we can get back to our original state it will go a long way to healing the fissures that the political class has created in the division of our people.

Before we get into this morning's episode of The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I wanted to talk a little bit about honesty and government. It makes me cringe to use those two words in the same sentence, especially when we're talking about the federal government.Here are links to a couple of examples that illustrate why we should all cringe at that idea. The first is Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), questioning Colleen Shogan, the Biden nominee to be the National Archivist, and the second is Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), grilling US Attorney General Merrick Garland:We’ve had hearings before Congress with a few people nominated by the Biden administration – and one sitting Attorney General – in which the example of how they blatantly and overtly lie to not only the American people but to Congress; how it's running rampant; how it seems to be the status quo; how it's become the norm, is clearly evident.If you get truth from somebody from the federal government sitting before Congress that is an anomaly. You have people locking down their social media before they have to testify because they don't want to be outed for who they really are, even though they're going before the people's House and and the Senate to be confirmed to serve the people.Why would you hide who you are if you're going on a job interview to serve the people of the United States? Why would you lock down your social media? Why would you be allowed to lock down your social media?People who do that – the people who don't answer questions during confirmation hearings; the people who use the Fifth Amendment after they've been confirmed, like Eric Holder did when he was found in Contempt of Congress – they should have to resign and the people who locked down their social media accounts making it more difficult to be transparent shouldn't get the gigs.Yet, listen to Congressional testimony by anybody who's up for an appointment to the federal government and you see the most well-crafted responses to just about any question that can be asked (and a lot of times they get the questions in advance) so that we learn nothing; there's no culpability for things they've said in the past, they're never held to account.And we wonder why the federal government doesn't serve the people. We allow them to deceive us; to lie to us without repercussion.I want you to think about the Eric Holder thing for a minute. He sat before Congress, lied to Congress, pleaded the fifth before Congress, was held in Contempt of Congress, and nothing happened! Why? Because he was the Attorney General!Congress refers prosecution charges to the Department of Justice for action. He was the guy! Did you really think he was going to prosecute himself?... And he didn't even have the Integrity to resign because he pled the Fifth – which means he would have incriminated himself under oath on the issue of Fast & Furious.How did we allow him to stay in power? Why wasn't he impeached?We’ve got to think about this. If we want an honest government that serves the people we have to demand honesty at the beginning not in the middle or at the end. This must be at every level of government. You shouldn't be serving the people if you're hiding who you are.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce…"Take Back Your mind."

Before we get into this morning segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with mad Bruce – in which we discuss the insanity coming out of the Department of Justice where they are trying to lay blame and financial culpability on to Donald Trump for January 6th (I have some thoughts on that that are quite enlightening), I wanted to take a moment to thank the ER staff and the ward staff over at Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, Illinois along with the York Center Fire Department paramedics who came and helped my mother when she needed it most.She's back home, good, and recovering and I thank everybody for the prayers and the thoughts, but it brings to mind a whole boatload of reality when it comes to mortality.If you still have your parents – or if you still have a parent – spend some time because when that clock ticks and it goes past their time there's no getting that time back.Be grateful for the time that you have and celebrate them while they're still here with you to celebrate.It's important that we be compassionate in the time that we have together.Right now, this morning's segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch…"Take Back Your mind."

As we get into today's segment on Talkback with Chuck Wilder, I want to expound a little bit on why the detention of the people who were arrested on January 6th has become so egregious.The Sixth Amendment guarantees us a speedy trial. The process of those detained on January 6th has been anything but speedy. It has been impeded by disingenuous politics from the Left.The information we see coming out from defense teams in the trials of these people indicate that the federal government and law enforcement from the District of Columbia were integral in goading the people into violent and illegal action.Evidence has now been exposed that shows undercover and plain clothed police officers from both the DC Metro and the Capitol Hill Police – as well as federal agents – were amongst the protesters, some of them literally pushing people towards the doors of the Capitol Building.Many of us have seen video already of Capitol Hill police officers showing people the way up the stairs inside the Capitol Building.And then there is the joke of a January 6th committee that was put together – that was gerrymandered – by Nancy Pelosi that withheld all of the video evidence from that day. There shouldn't be anything held back from that day as far as video evidence. It should all be open for the public to see.Now that Kevin McCarthy has given Tucker Carlson complete access to that video archive I am sure we are going to see more things that really piss us off! The bottom line here is that there were legitimate objections to some of the Electors that were being seated, objections that needed to go through a legal procedure in the Electoral College. That chaos stopped those objections. So, if there was any gerrymandering of the election in 2020 – besides the fact that the Judicial Branch in the Supreme Court failed to act on a question of constitutionality where the changing of election law was concerned in several States – it happened with the Democrats manufacturing, fomenting, and encouraging chaos on Capitol Hill that stopped those objections to those electors being seated.It's all got to come out.Everybody knows something wasn't right with the election. I'm not going as far as to support Donald Trump's “It was stolen,” but there were things that happened during that election that should never happen again.Then, this morning’s segment on Talkback with Chuck Wilder…Underground USA is a reader-supported publication.

As we get into this morning's episode of The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce on this President's Day, our President, regretfully Joe Biden, is over in Ukraine shooting his mouth off about how the United States is going to probably end up giving F-16s to Ukraine further embedding the United States into that conflict to a point where China's now got to be invited to get involved on the Russian side.We all need to start being very vocal about this issue. What hangs in the balance is a catalyst for global conflict. You already have China getting buddy-buddy with the Russians. They have been giving them support in their battle against Ukraine. Now, they're talking about giving lethal support to the Russians in their battle against Ukraine, even as they saber-rattle and do military exercises around the island of Taiwan.Now you have Joe Biden, over in Ukraine, talking to politicians who – before the invasion – were recognized as the most corrupt government on the planet sans Sudan and maybe Yemen. His actions are tempting China to say, “Okay, let's get involved with this, too!” That's how Global conflicts start. That's how World Wars start.If we end up in a global conflict because of Ukraine's war with Russia and the world starts taking sides and the missiles start flying; this is going to be a limited nuclear war. This is not going to be a conventional war. This is going to make World War II look like it was kind of not bloody. It's going to happen quickly and it's going to change the world forever.So, we have to get a hold of our elected officials and tell them that they must claw back the War Powers Act from Joe Biden. He's not capable of being a diplomat on the world stage. He does not know what he's doing when it comes to negotiating with the Russians.The Russian people have a different mentality all together. You need to study up on that before you take a Western view of how you believe nations on their border should be acting. Biden has not.I feel for the Ukrainian people. I do. I feel for any people in a war-torn area and there are a lot of them. This is where governments matter and the Ukrainian government is corrupt. So, we had better get some true diplomats involved with this very quickly because it can get out of control just as quickly. The ramifications for getting out of control this time are incredibly bad.So, on a day when Joe Biden should be here actually defending the “evil White man slave owners” who put this country together only to create the only economic system ever to give the world a Middle Class and explaining to the Woke mobs out there that you can't look at history through 21st Century eyes and demonize later generations for society's that existed in the past, he's over in Ukraine making sure that we are moving and inching ever closer and ever closer to global conflict with nuclear powers and a country that has a 2 million person standing army…who are on a war footing.Stupid is as stupid does but this kind of stupid can cost the lives of millions.Then, this morning's segment with Matt Bruce on The Captain's America: Third Watch…Underground USA is a reader-supported publication.

In this episode of The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, we discuss issues surrounding the recent train derailment in Pennsylvania, calling on our past as firefighters and how we were trained to respond to HazMat incidents and how the hierarchy of the Emergency Services functions during an event like that.One of the things that I point out is the inanity of how our legislative bills are named.If you look at the “infrastructure bill” that was passed by the Biden Administration – to the tune of trillions of dollars when he first got into office – you would think that our infrastructure, after spending that much money, would be solid. But the derailment in Pennsylvania, a subsequent derailment outside of Detroit, and another down South have proved that our railway systems, even though the federal government keeps pumping money into it and we have infrastructure projects earmarked for it, never get the maintenance it needs to have done.Trillions of dollars into a bill packed with special interest sidecars, special interest projects that have nothing to do with infrastructure, and loaded with this bullshit that is Diversity, Equity & Inclusion and CRT and every other ideological and politically based element that has nothing to do with maintaining the infrastructure of the United States. That kind of crap has to stop!But the only way it will stop is if you get active with the people that you elect to office.And by the way, we should be sending people to office who are worthy to hold the office not just the next person in line. That's the cancer of the two-party political system.Once you reach the federal level, you get into a queue. And when your turn is here, your turn is here. A perfect example is Mitch McConnell. He’s useless as tits on a bull, yet he is the minority leader…the majority leader…then the minority leader and all he does is make sure that he spends his PAC money to maintain his own power.He's an embarrassment to the Republican party and he's a perfect example of why we shouldn't be electing the next in line to positions of power.Say what you want to about Nikki Haley, but she hit on something that was very important. It is time for generational change in the hierarchy of the political system here in the United States.The old, connected, establishments, swamp guard has had its time and they've led us to this moment in time; a time where we are more divided – possibly than since the Civil War – and where the United States is less respected around the world than at any other time.It's time to flush the toilet that is the swamp.

Before we get to this week's segment on Talkback with Chuck Wilder, I wanted to mention that I'm reading a book called Free Speech. It gives the history of the idea and the vacillation of free speech rights throughout the history of man going back to the Greeks and Romans.Chuck and I talk a bit about this very topic and how we as a nation have come to believe that some things true that are really not. We exist in a very delusional time.We have a Bill of Rights that says we have free speech. It is the very first thing mentioned in the First Amendment. But that right Bill of Rights is applicable only to limiting the reach of government.We're seeing now that in the private sector, free speech has a value. Some people value it more. Some people value it less. People at social media censorship boards? They tend to value it less. They want to control and define what is “proper” and “good” speech, excluding – in most cases – any non-sanctioned narrative, and in the techno world that means this. If you believe in the Constitution or you have a conservative agenda, well, your sh*t out of luck.I urge you to pick up this book, Free Speech. I'm listening to it but pick up the book: Free Speech by Jacob Mchangama. You can get it on Amazon. You can get it on Audible.It's important for us to know that the free speech that is provided to us through the First Amendment only applies to how government interacts with the people. It's not codified into law.Imagine what kind of a country we would be living in if the First Amendment, Second Amendment, Fourth, Fifth; if the total of the Bill of Rights was actually codified into law. It would certainly keep social media from censoring and we wouldn’t need any fact-checkers to manipulate us.It would be a game-changer.Then, this week's segment on Talkback with Chuck Wilder…Cheat the Censors!

Before we get to this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I want to comment on the lead story over at UndergroundUSA.com today. It has to do with fascism and regulation. It’s titled, Fascism Facilitated By Regulation.The two things that caused me to write this one was the IRS’s determination that they weren't going to tax some of the relief checks issued by states around the country – it affects 21 states and leaves out the rest. And the other regulatory issue I was outraged by is the Biden administration's reinstitution of Operation Choke Point or what everyone calls Operation Choke Point 2.0, which is targeting the legal industry of cryptocurrency by using banks to coerce crypto outlets into submission.There is no authority to do any of this; or either of these things. This is the very definition of fascism and it’s through regulation that the Executive Branch is affecting these things. So, please give it a read: Fascism Facilitated By Regulation.I think you're going to understand that what these people are doing – both the IRS and the many financial alphabet agencies, attacking cryptocurrency – that it’s unconstitutional. And if the lawsuits don't start to fly, the people who vote at the ballot box have to hold people accountable.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce…Underground USA is a reader-supported publication.

Before we get to this morning's segment of The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I need to make a comment about the State of the Union Address and Joe Biden's performance, specifically the response that the Republican delegation gave to him when he lied about Social Security and Medicare.Give this a listen. I think it was an appropriate response of outrage at a blatant lie:I don't care if you're a Republican, a Democrat, an Independent, a Libertarian, Green Party member, whatever, we cannot just blindly vote for our candidate if he is a blatant liar!Joe Biden has proved over the years that he's not only a plagiarist, he's a fiction writer; he is a liar. This is a perfect example.Republicans in the House and the Senate have gone out of their way to say that they are not touching Medicare or Social Security. Yet the President of the United States, supported by the Democrat Party, insists on repeating this lie again and again and again. If you look at Hakeem Jeffries Twitter page it's all over that, “Republicans want to take away your Medicare, want to take away your Social Security!” It's a lie.Republicans are on record as saying it's a lie. Yet the media just keeps reporting it and the Democrats keep saying it to the point where you had the President of the United States saying it during a State of the Union Address.Well, the Republican response was a good one and we have to keep that up. A lot of people may be disappointed at the lack of decorum but it comes to the point that if you're going to lie – blatantly – in a State of the Union Address there needs to be very vocal pushback.So, let's ask a little bit more of our politicians. Spin is one thing. Blatantly lying is another. And we've gotten to the point where politicians are just blatantly lying. We can't stand for that. That's not the way our government is supposed to be. That's not even the way our politics is supposed to be.The Progressive Left (which is now the fascist Left) has brought us to this point; where they want us to believe lying is acceptable just as long as they win. We can't let that happen. We have to push back, demand the truth, demand their fidelity to the truth and the facts, and force them to make their case going into an election rather than just trying to scare the populace into voting for them. That's what they've been doing the last bunch of cycles and it's got to stop.Then this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce…Underground USA is a reader-supported publication.

Before we get to this morning's edition of Talkback with Chuck Wilder, I wanted to talk a little bit about the decision – or indecision, I guess – of President Biden in not wanting to ban TikTok from the United States.This all culminates around the subject of 5th Generation Warfare. It's ironic that it is 5G that's providing great communications for everybody, I know there's been some questions about it but 5th Generation Warfare or 5Gen or 5thGen is not 5G, so let's clear that up right now.5th Generation Warfare has to do with winning a war or securing a battlefield without firing a shot. China's attempting to do this by co-opting the narrative and gaslighting on a massive and intense scale.When you can glean data from people's everyday data usage to see what's important to them and what's not important to them, what they buy what they don't buy, you can start to craft narratives that relate to people…individually. Because of the Analyst Institute, which was created for the second Obama campaign in coordination with the AFL-CIO, we know that you can launch a PsyOps campaign to touch every individual in the country individually. When you're able to insert your agenda into people’s everyday narratives you can very slowly and incrementally mold them to your way of thinking. This is 5th Generation Warfare; this is using social media and BigTech to move the narrative towards a vantage point. That's what China is doing with things like TikTok.So, if you're an adult and you have Tik-Tok on any apparatus that you own get rid of it. Don't be stupid! If your child has it make them get rid of it. Just because people cultivate an addiction to the use of something doesn't mean it can't be bad for them.In this case, we are the targets of an aggressive attack by the Communist Chinese in the information sphere, an attack attempting to shape how we think about things; very 1984, very dangerous stuff.We all need to get up the speed and what 5th Generation Warfare is because, for all intents and purposes, China's already at war with us.Then, this morning’s segment on Talkback with Chuck Wilder…Underground USA is a reader-supported publication.

Before we get into today's segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I’d like to comment on the fact that we did – finally, after the balloon transverse the entirety of the United States – we finally shot down the Chinese spy balloon over the Atlantic off the coast of South Carolina.This whole thing brings a few questions to mind that we have to ask ourselves; that we have to demand answers for from our elected officials and especially the Biden Administration geared towards the Pentagon.How is it that we didn't detect an intercept this thing over international waters before it reached the United States?Why was it allowed to transverse the entirety of our country – from Washington State through Montana all the way down off the coast of South Carolina?Why don't we have the capability – if we had the shuttle program, if we have high flying aircraft, if we have aircraft that skip on the atmosphere before getting into space – how is it that we don't have the ability to capture something like this so that we can find out what's in it; the technology involved, etc etc etc?And lastly, the excuse that they didn't want to shoot this thing down over the continental United States because it might hit somebody? The public found out that it existed when it was over Montana!We have space debris falling out of the sky everyday that doesn't burn up in the atmosphere when it comes to reentry. Are buildings in downtown Chicago getting hit?So, there's a lot of questions surrounding this. The fact that they allowed this to happen shows they're incapable of defending this country.I don't even want to begin to think about the message it sends to China when it comes to Taiwan.Then, this morning’s segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce…Underground USA is a reader-supported publication.

Before we get to this morning's episode of TalkBack with Chuck Wilder I’d like to take a second and talk about the Memphis issue and specifically the comment that Van Jones made about, “Well, even Black people can be racist against Black people.”That should demonstrate how exhausted the tired claim of racism actually is. It doesn't matter what the color of the skin was. The victim was Black. All five police officers were Black. This has to do with how we treat one another as human beings and how people interact with police, regardless of their race or the race of the police officers.We send police officers out every day to clean up the worst of the worst; to keep bad people from hurting good people; to keep people safe. Are there some bad police officers? Yes, there are.Are there some bad politicians? Absolutely! Are there some bad Black people? Yes. Are there bad White people? Yes. But it doesn't mean that you paint the whole thing as racism.The tired claim of “Racism! Racism! Racism!” has lost all effect and all meaning and that's because the people who are gleaning notoriety and riches off race-baiting have cried wolf one too many times. Van Jones is one of them. D'Angelo is another. Kendi is another. They're making millions off of claiming racism about everything.And the elected class? They just want to keep us divided using one more identity label.So, let's get back to Dr. Martin Luther King’s philosophy before it's too late. Let's judge people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin. When someone's a bad person they're a bad person and they should have to pay a price. It shouldn't matter the color of their skin. If someone's a good person they're a good person. It doesn't matter the color of their skin. But quite honestly, this constant race-baiting has to stop. So, whenever you hear someone using the race card call them out on it. Enough. Enough!Then, the morning’s segment on TalkBack with Chuck Wilder…Underground USA is a reader-supported publication.

Before we get into this morning's segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I'd like to comment on Donald Trump's statement attacking Ron DeSantis. Matt and I talked about this in the segment but it bears repeating.The people of Florida elected Ron DeSantis. Donald Trump did not “get” Ron DeSantis elected as governor of Florida. The idea that Ron DeSantis owes Donald Trump loyalty for anything is a wild stretch of the imagination.One of the things that Trump is not thinking through here – and this is why I really can't support him going forward unless he turns out to be the nominee for the Republican Party, and then it'll be reluctantly this time – is that he's losing the people of Florida by attacking Florida's governor.Floridians love Ron DeSantis. As a matter of fact, he's got a great reputation with most of the true constitutional conservatives across the country. Donald Trump, should he be the nominee, cannot win without collecting Florida's Electoral College votes. He just can't. There's no pathway to the White House that doesn't include Florida.He's also ticking off people in Texas. If you lose both Florida and Texas I don't even know why you bother running unless you want to be a disruptor like Ross Perot.And what did we get when Ross Perot ran? He may have had some good ideas but when you are too egotistical and too stubborn to understand that you are causing more harm than good then you cause that harm! It appears that's what Donald Trump seems to be wanting to do today; to attack his opponents in the primary as he did before when we needed a disruptor. But he's destroying the Republican Party because of it!Now there's a sidecar to this.I'm not a fan of Ronna McDaniel. That she got re-elected was an inside power play that should tick every rank-and-file Republican off.So, just like we should be insisting that our state governments claw back power from the federal government so that our state governments are rightfully reinstalled as the most powerful government in our lives – our Framers wanted the states to have more power than the federal government (the federal government was supposed to be a stop-gap) – if you are going to make a contribution to somebody who's running for office in your state, give it to the state party or, better yet, give it directly to the campaign.In the day of the digital age the federal political party…it's kind of a cash cow for people to have expensive office furniture, if you catch my drift. So, give directly to the candidates you support. There's enough grifting going on.But as for Donald Trump and his statements, if he keeps attacking Ron DeSantis Ron DeSantis's people have to start attacking Donald Trump. Is that really what he wants? Seeing as how he said we could “suspend the Constitution” for his gain, those are very dangerous, dangerous statements and people who are supporting Donald Trump better start asking themselves, “What is this guy all about if he can say things like this?”It's disturbing.Then, this morning's segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce…Underground USA is a reader-supported publication.

Before we get into this morning's segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I’d like to send my condolences to everybody who is affected by the mass shooting in California.I do want to point out that you had the “usual suspects” getting to the microphones as fast as they could get to them: Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, and a couple of other very far radical Left miscreants, who are claiming it was “White supremacy! White supremacy! White supremacy!”No. It turned out to be an elderly Asian man who was going through some emotional things because of a failed relationship.This needs to be proof positive that the race-baiting Left needs to be exposed in this country. You can't automatically kneejerk to such an incredibly damaging accusation without proof, and the left continuously acts without proof when they start playing the blame game.And it's all for political purposes; it's all for the advancement of a political agenda. It has nothing to do with the truth. It has nothing to do with humanity.What we really need to do, when it comes to what they term “gun violence” – which has nothing to do with the gun being violent, it has everything to do with the person who's pulling the trigger being violent – is we need to address mental health in this country a lot better than we do today.If our society is so intensely on the edge then we, as a society, have to learn how to pull back from that a little bit so that people aren't motivated to believe that killing somebody or ending their life as they know it is the only answer. That's not the only answer.So, we have to – together – find a way back from this “edge” that we seem to be on.But, my condolences to everybody affected in California and let's start being a little kinder and taking care of each other just a little bit more.Then, this morning's segment on The Captain America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce…Underground USA is a reader-supported publication.
