Was a massive $300,000 AIPAC ad purchase against Republican Rep. Thomas Massie in Kentucky green-lighted by Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson?

Also today: Blinken's "holding up" weapons for Israel exposed as cynical political farce. Finally: Hero Massie drops pro raw milk bill.

Finally, new documents show Biden's complicity in the horrors in Gaza.

So Much For 'Democracy' - Blinken OKs Ukraine Cancelling Elections

One of the greatest ironies in America, of all places, is that politicians have the citizens cheering on the raising of taxes on themselves. How so? Well, whenever the government spends money it doesn’t have, that the Federal Reserve counterfeits into existence, that’s a tax. It’s called inflation! The tax is paid by higher prices for the things we buy. When you go to the supermarket, remember the $6 Trillion "Covid Relief.” We’re still paying for that “relief.” When government “slaps tariffs” on another country, that’s a tax on the American consumers! Americans have bought into the “I’m from government and I’m here to help,” line, and we’re paying dearly for it.

Tariffs Are A War On American Consumers

Banana Republic! 'Deadly Force' Authorized For Trump Raid!

Disappointment with Speaker Johnson continues, as yesterday he joined the neocon GOP push to green-light Ukraine to hit deep inside Russia with US-provided missiles.

Speaker Johnson Pushes For US Missiles Deep Into Russia

The U.S. government has been able to expand way beyond its means for over century. In one of history’s greatest ironies, the government in the “land of the free,” turned itself into the biggest government in the history of the world. This was largely possible because other nations have used the U.S. dollar (often reluctantly) as a reserve currency. That reluctance has turned to outright rejection. De-dollarization has become a significant trend against the globe-trotting U.S. government.

De-Dollarization: Has The U.S. Empire Reached Its Limits?

Get ready, folks, because the government—helped along by Congress (which adopted legislation allowing police to collect and test DNA immediately following arrests), President Trump (who signed the Rapid DNA Act into law), the courts (which have ruled that police can routinely take DNA samples from people who are arrested but not yet convicted of a crime), and local police agencies (which are chomping at the bit to acquire this new crime-fighting gadget)—is embarking on a diabolical campaign to create a nation of suspects predicated on a massive national DNA database.
