‘We would be opening up the possibility of Israel having influence over a $1.5 TRILLION annual budget.’
I have not yet watched this but the very idea strikes me as treasonous. ABN
UPDATE: I watched the first half. The bill is as bad as you can imagine. It’s an American Nightmare. The talk declines into predictable lachrymose moralizing, so I stopped watching. If this bill passes, adios USA. ABN

The greatest outcome of this Act would be if all of Europe rose up and led the rest of THE WEST—USA, Canada, Australia, NZ, etc—to retake Western civilization and all together make it better than ever before! There is strength in optimism and optimism in strength! ABN
The 14th Amendment was proposed through a collaborative effort involving several key legislators. Representative John A. Bingham of Ohio and Senator Jacob Howard of Michigan were among the primary figures responsible for introducing the amendment’s provisions. Additionally, other representatives and senators such as Henry Deming of Connecticut, Benjamin G. Brown of Missouri, and Thaddeus Stevens of Pennsylvania also played significant roles in shaping the amendment. The amendment was officially submitted to the states for ratification on June 16, 1866, following its passage by the House on May 10, 1866, and by the Senate on June 8, 1866.
Another major point against a wide-open interpretation of the 14th is it serves as a powerful magnet, attracting an enormous amount illegal immigration. This was never its original intent and this possibility was already remarked on by Senator Howard as seen in the quotation above. ABN
UPDATE: Doofus SCOTUS rules on the 14th amendment without bothering to look up the original intent of it. Are they this stupid and lazy or are they part of the plot to destroy USA and the Western world? ABN
Everyone is reading the Supreme Court’s Roundup decision as a fight about glyphosate. Much of MAHA called it a betrayal. The more I studied the opinion, the more I concluded it is not really about glyphosate at all.
The justices did not weigh epidemiology. They did not rule on whether glyphosate causes cancer. They did not pick IARC or EPA as the better science. They answered a narrow legal question with enormous consequences.
The question: when EPA approves a pesticide label under FIFRA, can a state jury later decide the manufacturer should have warned more strongly? The Court’s answer was largely no. EPA-approved labels now preempt most state failure-to-warn claims.
Why does that reach beyond Roundup? State failure-to-warn lawsuits have been one of the few mechanisms that surface emerging risk. Tobacco. Asbestos. Lead paint. PFAS. Discovery forced disclosure. Experts testified under oath. Regulators defended their conclusions in open court.
That pathway just narrowed dramatically. When an EPA label preempts the claim, EPA becomes the gatekeeper for deciding when evolving science justifies a new warning. That authority no longer rests with juries hearing new evidence. It rests with one federal agency.
So here is the real question, and it is a constitutional one: Can Congress create a system in which a single federal agency becomes the exclusive gatekeeper for whether evolving scientific evidence ever reaches an American jury?
This is hard to square with two decisions constitutional conservatives celebrated. Dobbs returned power to the states. Loper Bright said courts, not agencies, interpret statutes. Here, an agency’s determination became the basis for closing the courthouse door.
Note who stood where. The Biden administration did not embrace the broad preemption argument. The Trump administration did. Ironically, the Biden position sat closer to conservative legal principles: preserve juries, respect state common law, do not expand the administrative state.
The decision assumes EPA will revisit labels as science evolves. Look at the record. Glyphosate entered review in 2009. EPA reaffirmed “not likely carcinogenic” in 2020. The Ninth Circuit faulted that analysis. EPA withdrew it. More than fifteen years in, still no final determination.
Meanwhile the science moved past cancer. Researchers are now studying endocrine disruption, the gut microbiome, metabolic disease, reproductive and developmental toxicity, neuroinflammation, and cumulative exposure to many chemicals at once. The questions themselves have changed.
Freeze the courts to EPA’s pace and you freeze more than yesterday’s conclusions. You freeze yesterday’s understanding of which questions even deserve investigation. That is a dangerous place for science and for public health.
One more point. If EPA’s science now forecloses jury claims, EPA’s independence is no longer just a regulatory issue. It is a civil-justice issue. The FDA has faced years of scrutiny over capture and the revolving door. EPA has largely escaped it. This decision should end that.
This case is not really about glyphosate. It is about who decides when science has changed, and whether Americans keep access to the courts when new evidence emerges.
In a nutshell, the court’s decision puts all power to regulate (more than just) glyphosate in one agency — the EPA. This obviously risks the EPA becoming yet another captured agency. ABN
Citizen Vigilante has been effectively banned in Germany after the Federal Department for Media Harmful to Young Persons (FSK) refused to grant the film an age classification. This decision blocks the movie from commercial distribution in cinemas, streaming services, and retail within the country.
UPDATE: I have watched this video since first posting it. It’s a powerful statement because it touches deep instincts to protect and preserve ourselves against alien enemies. In the West, this basic instinct has been dulled to the point of nonexistence. Mind-control, Western ‘universalist’ values gone awry, enemies who have already infiltrated our governments and institutions all have contributed to Western complacency even as we are being destroyed as a civilization. Watch the video and notice your instincts even though you also posses a very rational and compassionate brain. The contrast is clear as a bell and shows the Western compassionate brain has been perilously ignoring the obvious. We are like suckers or marks who have been scammed by someone we thought was a friend and are too embarrassed to admit it. A side note: The above link is to a free version of the video, which I suppose is pirated. The producer and writer of the movie, Uwe Boll, has understandably complained about people not paying for his movie and thus stalling or preventing a sequel to the film. I would argue that a degree of piracy actually is good for the film as more people see it and spread the word. ABN
Trump and Elon officially shut down USAID in July 2025 after the big foreign aid freeze.
Since then, right-wing leaders have swept to victory across the region, at least 7 major wins in quick succession:
Chile: José Antonio Kast (hard-right, biggest rightward shift in decades)
Bolivia: Rodrigo Paz (ended decades of socialist MAS rule)
Ecuador: Daniel Noboa (re-elected on law-and-order)
Colombia: Abelardo de la Espriella (far-right surge into the runoff)
Peru: Right-wing momentum building hard
Honduras & Costa Rica: Conservative/right-populist takeovers
Coincidence? Or did cutting off billions in U.S. taxpayer dollars that were flowing to leftist NGOs, “democracy” programs, and activist networks finally let voters decide for themselves?
The pink tide is collapsing. People are choosing security over chaos, sovereignty over dependency, and results over ideology.
This is what happens when the money tap gets turned off and the people get to speak.
I do not mind the term ‘right-wing’ but generally always read it as conservative — small government, individual freedom, respect for past and for national well-being. In most legacy (compromised) press, ‘right-wing’ or ‘far-right’ are slurs against normal people who are simply conservative and probably oppose immigration-invasion, welfare for invaders, lax law-enforcement, medical mandates, etc. ABN
The entire Western world is ruled by a self-centered elite numbering but a few thousand. No one who is not either onboard with them or accepts being a servile toady to them (most politicians) ever gets anywhere near real political power, or honest social influence.
Historically, elites have always manufactured social and political ‘reality’. In today’s world many of their traditional tricks are not working as well as they did only ten years ago.
What’s changed today is social media, especially X, allows the honest voices of ordinary people to be heard.
Moreover, it is obvious to anyone paying attention that more voices and more information about anything actually results in better and truer information.
Crowds crowd-sourcing themselves have proved to be much more savvy than a few thousand elites, who all bow to a small handful of super-elites.
It is simply a fact that more information seen by more people who add yet more information yields better information. Bad info is quickly sifted out.
Elites fear open-ended information more than anything because it reveals how selfish, wrong, small-minded and crazy they are.
That said, not all elites are always bad.
The best of them understand what is happening with human information and information-sharing and what is feasible.
It seems clear to me right now that more than one battle is going on among them. ABN
The federal hemp ban is a law passed in November 2025 that reclassifies most intoxicating hemp-derived THC products (including delta-8, delta-9, THCA, and HHC) as Schedule I controlled substances, effectively closing the loophole created by the 2018 Farm Bill. This ban is scheduled to take full effect on November 12, 2026, at which point the sale, possession, and purchase of these products will be illegal in states where marijuana is not already legalized.
Key provisions and impacts of the legislation include:
Strict Limits: The law sets a cap of 0.4 milligrams of total THC per container for finished consumer products and excludes synthetic or converted cannabinoids from the legal definition of hemp.
Affected States: Consumers in states without legalized marijuana (such as Idaho, Kansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina) will lose access to these products, while states with legal cannabis markets will likely see sales shift to licensed dispensaries.
Exemptions:Industrial hemp (fiber, grain) and non-intoxicating CBD products without detectable THC generally remain legal, though some full-spectrum CBD items may need reformulation to meet the new per-container limits.
While the Trump Administration has claimed new legal authority to dismantle the market for these products, enforcement challenges remain due to limited federal resources and conflicting state laws. Some industry groups are lobbying for delays or regulatory frameworks instead of an outright ban, but as of June 2026, no legislation has successfully overturned the November 2026 effective date.

Neither the federal government nor state or local governments should have any say in what individuals consume of their own free-will. Governments might do well to regulate potentially dangerous substances with the aim of making sure they contain no toxic additives or byproducts. Age requirements for purchase, warnings, and, in some cases a doctor’s prescription for use, make sense if done with the least restriction feasible. Rather than imposing high taxes on cigarettes, government would do better to make sure cigarettes are made from quality tobaccos, organic being best, with zero addictive or harmful additives. ABN
Once people learn how powerful media-based mind control is, they will start to see it everywhere and quickly become aware that most of it can be avoided or seen through. At it’s core, mind-control rests on the very deep human need to communicate and be understood. This need is easily met if everyone agrees on the same information. That is the source of culture and what maintains whole civilizations. Mind-control becomes evil when it uses this basic need to selfishly control or undermine civilizations. ABN
