Debt is suffocating us. Our currency is on its way to being Lebanonized. Most major American cities are broke, dirty, unsafe, and run by either corrupt incumbents, neo-Marxists, or both. The law is optional, and applied asymmetrically on the basis of race and ideology. The past is found guilty by the laws of the present and so it is being undone.
The military budget is on a trajectory to be the smallest in terms of GDP allotment since World War II; its careerist officers, for their own short-term interests, are now demonizing and will soon be driving away the very demographic that has suffered percentage-wise the greatest casualties in

MIAMI – Amidst the tragedy of the Surfside condo collapse, there’s a story of remarkable strength and determination.
Angela Gonzalez and her 16-year-old daughter, Devon, fell from the ninth floor to the fifth floor.
Despite a breaking her pelvis, Angela found the strength to not only pull herself from the rubble, but also her child.
Both were taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital for treatment. (Snip) Edgar Gonzalez, Angela’s husband and Devon’s dad, is among the 99 people who are unaccounted for.

Federal prosecutors have applied a little-used law against a man accused of obstructing the congressional proceedings on Jan. 6, asserting he transported a gun and used it in furtherance of a civil disorder.
In a superseding indictment (pdf) against Guy Reffitt released this week, the Texas man was charged with two violations of federal civil disorder law for actions allegedly taken in Washington on Jan. 6.
Authorities said Reffitt violated the law against transporting “any firearm, or explosive or incendiary device, knowing or having reason to know or intending that the same will be used unlawfully in furtherance of a civil disorder.”

WASHINGTON — President Biden said on Thursday that his administration would begin relocating thousands of Afghan interpreters, drivers and others who worked with American forces outside the country in an effort to keep them safe while they apply for entry to the United States.
“Those who helped us are not going to be left behind,” Mr. Biden told reporters at the White House.
With the American military in the final phases of withdrawing from Afghanistan after 20 years of war, the White House has come under heavy pressure to protect Afghan allies from revenge attacks by the Taliban and speed up the lengthy and complex process of providing them special immigrant visas.

Award-winning author Joyce Carol Oates on Thursday mocked an “Oppressive Language List” posted by Brandeis University that deemed words like “picnic” and “trigger warning” offensive.(Snip)“What is strange is that while the word ‘picnic’ is suggested for censorship, because it evokes, in some persons, lynchings of Black persons in the US, the word ‘lynching’ is not itself censored,” Ms. Oates tweeted.
“What sort of punishment is doled out for a faculty member who utters the word ‘picnic’ at Brandeis?— or the phrase ‘trigger warning’? loss of tenure, public flogging, self-flagellation?” she mused.

President Joe Biden on Thursday blamed vaccine hesitancy among black Americans on the past experimentation by the U.S. government on the Tuskegee Airman, conflating the famed World War II pilots with the Tuskegee Syphilis Study.
“The reason why it’s been harder to get African Americans, initially, to get vaccinated because they are used to being experimented on — the Tuskegee Airmen and others,” Biden said.(Snip)This isn’t the first time Biden has conflated the two Tuskegee events. During an interview with YouTuber Jackie Aina last month, the president once again got his history wrong.

In a contentious three to two vote, the Collier County Board of County Commissioners (CCBOCC) agreed on June 22 to postpone the vote on a proposed ordinance that would establish Collier County as a Bill of Rights sanctuary. However, even after the county sheriff, one state representative, a United States congressman, and a parade of determined citizens demanded that the CCBOCC “have the courage to do what is right,” two board members seemed more concerned about personal liability than supporting the will of their constituents.
(snip) However, Collier County may be the first to pass an ordinance protecting all freedoms outlined in the Bill of Rights.

Does the name Derrick Watson ring a bell? It should. He is the infamous Hawaiian judge who exceeded his authority and blocked President Donald John Trump's temporary moratorium on travel to 6 nations at war and Iran. Not only did Obama appoint Watson, but he was friends with him, having been in the same class at Harvard Law School. Indeed, Obama was in Hawaii on the day his friend and judge issued his order.(snip)Now it is Obama's vice president's turn to feel the burn. Trump-appointed judges are stopping Josef Biden from bending the law to his will.

The main reason I prefer blogging over newspapering is blog readers contact you.(snip)One of my longtime readers explained white privilege in a letter to General Milley, which he emailed to me yesterday.(snip) "I heard about your testimony today that you are trying to understand White Rage. Perhaps I can be of help here.

Several people have written to CTH for an economic review of our current status. Below this post are two primary precursor articles [Primary One and Primary Two] which outline the economic dynamic in play and how we can look forward with accuracy to what is likely to happen. Despite the deflective talking points by the professional financial pundits this massive spike in inflation is entirely predictable due to Biden economic policy and Biden monetary policy.
Keep in mind the FED has already said in April they would “support inflation” but that’s because while they will not say it openly they know there’s no way to stop it.

In April of this year the federal reserve announced they will support the economic agenda of the Biden administration by allowing rapid inflation. The FED was trying to provide cover for JoeBama’s economic plan. The era when the FED could impact inflation is long past. However, the Joe Biden policy impact will be clear, immediate and concise. The U.S. middle-class and blue-collar worker are about to be crushed under rising prices for consumable products.
Increases in inflation hit the working class (Main St) much harder than the investment class (Wall St)(Snip) multinationals benefit from U.S. inflation as it puts pressure on domestic companies to ship their manufacturing overseas.

Reposting an earlier article by request as more people are starting to understand why CTH has focused on the financial motivations behind the political ideology for over a decade. It is critical that people understand the landscape. Underline it. Study it. Research the issues and teach everyone about it.
Consider if you will, the backdrop of current U.S. politics; the influence of Wall Street and the multinationals who align with globalism; the reality of K-Street lobbyists writing the physical legislation that politicians sell to Americans; and then overlay what you are witnessing as those same multinationals now attack the foundation of our constitutional republic. All of this is CORPORATISM, a continuum
