But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which Gods hath prepared for them that love him. (1 Corinthians 2:9)
U.S. Constitution Amendment XVI Paragraph 1
The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for six years, and each Senator shall have one vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures.
- Ramaswamy: It won’t be Biden or Trump The establishment is supporting candidates who want perpetual war.
- Thousands of illegal immigrants U.S. Officials met with president of Mexico: a Caravann of 6,000 (7,000?) (8,000?) is somewhere in southern Mexico, headed to U.S
- Black, former BLM Leader, Supports Trump Trump is the only one who has helped the black people.
- Activists Attack Trump Star This star in the sidewalk goes way back to before Trump was president.
- Caravan of 8,000 headed to border: Is there no way to stop them? We simply cannot take in every poor person in the world, and a few terrorists. Why can’t Texas and Arizona just stop them, and let the fed sort it out afterward. Do you think President Biden would send the army to shoot the governor? Not going to happen. A people have the right to defend themselves, when the fed will not.

Uniform Fairness
Brent Regan
Imagine your child plays on their school’s Little League baseball team. You bought them their uniform and glove. You take them to practice. You attend all their games and encourage and support them in every way a parent should. You set a fine example for other parents who are also dedicated and put in the effort to support the team. As a result of all this hard work your school’s team is the state champion. You are justifiably proud of your child, your team and your school.
At the other school in town there is also a Little League team but most of the parents don’t put in the time and effort. They will drop their child off at practice and pick them up later but they will rarely attend a game or show any real interest. These parents look at your team with envy. They are jealous of your team’s success and believe they have been “cheated” out of being the champions.
Instead of putting in the time and effort to make their team competitive they decide it is unfair that their kids don’t win. They believe all kids should win all the time and if some kids don’t win it’s only because the other kids have an unfair advantage. The losers put a plan in motion.
At the next game the losers show up with their kids in your team’s uniforms and they try to have their kids play on your team. You are justifiably upset and complain to the umpire who tells the losers to go put on their own uniforms if they want to play.
This enrages the losers who scream at the umpire and call your team a bunch of extremists who don’t want to play fair. You are confused and perplexed. Why don’t they spend their effort and time practicing to be better players? Why are they intent on dragging your kids down rather than raising their kids up?
At the next city council meeting the losers show up demanding the council take action against inequality. They say uniforms are unfair to students, especially students who don’t want to play on a team. They demand uniforms and teams be banned and that all games must be “open.” They insist that any student can claim to be a member of any team even if they don’t go to that school. The protesters chant “Stop Hitler! Open Games! Stop Hitler! Open Games!”
The city council reluctantly passes an ordinance that outlaws uniforms, allows any student to play on any team and scoring will be determined by a computer program which ranks each player based on equity, inclusion and environmental awareness.
The next baseball season was an unmitigated disaster. Fights broke out at every practice. Not only did the town not have a state champion, they forfeited the first game of the playoffs because not enough players showed up. The No Uniform ordinance was quietly repealed but the town never fully recovered.
It is no secret that if you are running for elected office in Idaho you have a much better chance of winning if you are a Republican rather than a Democrat. Losers will claim that Republicans have some kind of unfair advantage because Republicans won’t allow people who are not affiliated Republican to vote in the Republican primary.
The reality is simple. The existing Republican Primary produces Republican nominees for the general election that most voters find more attractive than the Democrat nominee. If the Democrats would nominate candidates that people want to vote for, then the Democrats would likely do better in elections. This isn’t rocket surgery. Put up a candidate the voters like more than the opposition and your candidate will likely get more votes.
“Open Primaries” is the lie hiding the Uniparty Initiative.
The progressive Democrats behind the “open primary” Uniparty Initiative want to eliminate political parties and institute Ranked Choice Voting. They make an “open primary” emotional appeal that ignores the fact that “open primaries” are illegal in Idaho. Instead they point to the unaffiliated voters saying that unaffiliated voters are “denied a vote” for the Republican nominee. News Flash: Unaffiliated voters don’t want to vote in the Republican primary. If they did, all they have to do is affiliate with the Republican Party. Democrats and their supporters are trying to deceive you and are hoping you are gullible enough to swallow the lie they are selling.
Democrats see nothing wrong with temporarily affiliating as Republican so they can vote in the Republican primary. They even boast about it. Comically, during the last election cycle the Democrat Mayor of Sandpoint was disqualified from his run for governor because he forgot he was affiliated as a Republican. Oops.
However, when some Republicans decided to turn the tables and run as Democrat Precinct Committeemen you would have thought it was the end of the world. Democrats cried “infiltration” and “fraud” and stories ran statewide about how evil the Republicans were for pretending to be Democrats.
Everyone agrees that only Democrats should vote for Democrat Precinct Committeemen and that only Democrats should vote for Democrat Party officials and that only Democrats should vote for who represents the Idaho Democrat party at the National Democrat Convention.
But Democrats believe anybody should be able to vote for who represents the REPULICAN Party in the general election. Since they can’t legally make this happen they are trying to force the radically extreme approach of eliminating all political parties in the Primary and General elections and implement Ranked Choice Voting. Their scheme also includes a provision legalizing lying. Under the Unipary Initiative, any candidate can claim to be affiliated with any party even if they are not. Under the proposed law the chairman of the Democrat party could run for state office and legally put an “R” for Republican next to their name on the ballot to fool you.
The Uniparty “open primary” Initiative isn’t about fairness, it’s about winning, and there is one thing that we have ample evidence; Democrats, and their supporters, will use any means necessary to win.
It’s just common sense.

Dictatorial control, from Covid to climate
Democrats accuse Trump of proclivities that they blatantly engage in, especially in Washington
Paul Driessen
I choked on my coffee when I read the headline: “Democrats raise specter of Trump dictatorship to boost Biden.” What a textbook example of “projection,” I laughed, referring to the psychology term for deflecting attention away from one’s own blatant behavior by claiming someone else is doing it.
Partisan media and politicos parroted the accusation, and the Biden campaign doubled down.
In the interest of fairness and accuracy, it’s appropriate then to revisit ways the Biden Administration, Democrats and their allies have battled wannabe dictators and defended freedom, democracy and viewpoint diversity in recent years. (Or not.) For example:
* Incessant Antifa rage, riots, rampaging and legal warfare against “Russia-colluding” President Trump, from his election and inauguration throughout and after his term in office.
* School, park and restaurant lockdowns, “social distancing” and mask “advisories,” mandates for “safe and effective” inoculations with vaccines approved with minimal study under “emergency use authorizations,” and endless misrepresentation and censorship by Biden officials, Democrat governors and “journalists” – in the name of preventing Covid.
* Opening our southern border to untold millions of “undocumented noncitizens” – mostly Latin Americans but also Chinese agents, drug smugglers, sex traffickers, terrorists and disease carriers.
* Billions in “student debt forgiveness,” forcing taxpayers to pay off huge loans to graduates who struggle to get six-figure jobs despite prestigious degrees in gender studies or community organizing.
* Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and Environment Social Governance (ESG) programs, from K-12, college to law school, and into government and corporate arenas – to ensure that every component of society reflects racial, ethnic and gender proportionality, but never viewpoint or political diversity.
These and many other authoritarian actions impacted American society, freedoms, health and prosperity in countless negative ways. Far worse, many progressives and leftists hope they will pave the way for obeisance to even more dictatorial mandates promulgated in the name of saving our planet from supposed cataclysms inflicted by fossil-fuel-driven climate change.
Few will quibble that President Biden directed federal employees to take public transportation, ride bikes or rent electric vehicles for work travel, and hold virtual meetings instead of in-person gatherings.
These rules certainly won’t apply to private-jet globe-trotters like Climate Czar John Kerry, and EV’s mostly transfer emissions from tailpipes to distant countries where toxic pollution and child labor accompany the mining and processing of raw materials to make EV batteries. But at least some federal workers will now suffer the inconveniences they’re imposing on us commoners.
However, Team Biden’s endless torrent of dictatorial executive orders, regulatory mandates and twisted legal reinterpretations for electricity generation, vehicles, appliances, agriculture, housing and other matters are already impacting our industries, livelihoods, living standards and basic rights and freedoms.
These diktats are designed to force us to convert everything we now operate with coal, gasoline, diesel or natural gas to electric models. The United States will soon need 3-4 times more electricity than today – and still more to power the AI revolution.
But the same bureaucrats are shutting down coal, gas, nuclear and hydroelectric generators – ensuring that electricity will be in short supply, generated primarily by weather-dependent wind turbines and solar panels, backed up by massive grid-scale battery systems, and thus unavailable or unaffordable during the coldest and hottest days, when electric heat or air conditioning becomes a matter of life or death.
In fact, just the batteries to back up nationwide electricity would cost up to $290 trillion (13 times US 2021 GDP)! Add that to wind, solar and transmission costs, and the juice to run your all-electric home, business, hospital, school or transportation will likely cost 30-40 cents per kilowatt-hour, instead of the 12-15 cents the average American is paying now.
It’s a prescription for repeated blackouts, economic disaster – and unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats micromanaging every aspect of our lives: what size home we can have; how warm or cool we can keep it; what cars we can drive and how far, or whether we too will be forced to walk, bike or take a bus; how many trips we can take in jetliners, in our lifetime; what foods we can eat (hint: not beef); maybe even how many new clothing items we will be “allowed” to purchase each year!
Earlier this month, every House Republican voted to block President Biden’s electric vehicle mandates. They were joined by just five Democrats. That means 197 Democrats say Team Biden should be able to dictate what kind of car or truck you can drive. And Donald Trump has dictatorial proclivities?
The US and global ecological impacts will be equally harmful and widespread. Here are just a few.
Wind and solar installations, transmission lines and enormous battery complexes would sprawl across millions of acres of now scenic, wildlife habitat and agricultural land. A single solar facility proposed in Virgnia would involve 3,000 acres of panels on 21,000 acres (over half the land area of Washington, DC). It’s just one of dozens of Virginia solar plans – on top of onshore and offshore wind turbine projects.
The installations “will power millions of homes,” supporters insist. Perhaps – but only when the wind is blowing and sun is shining at optimal intensities … maybe 15-30% of the year in northern latitudes, considering winter snow and sunlight, clouds, nighttime, zero wind and other factors.
Many local residents and other citizens don’t want these massive installations in their backyards; the habitat and scenic vista destruction, bird and bat killings, health problems, and electricity costs and disruptions that go with them; or being turned into energy colonies for progressive urban centers. They’ve already blocked more than 500 wind and solar projects, on environmental and other grounds.
That’s why Michigan, California, New York and Illinois have already enacted laws that give state bureaucrats authority over land use – the ability to exercise eminent domain and other powers over local governments that want to slow or stop the onrush of enormous, heavily subsidized industrial wind, solar, transmission line and other “green” projects. More are likely to follow – depriving rural communities of their rights, property values and autonomy – to serve corporate interests that bankroll Democrat pols.
The federal “deep state” is likely to seek similar legislative authority – or simply assert authority – to implement President Biden’s national net-zero “renewable” energy transformation agenda.
UN and Biden “30×30” plans to “conserve” (make off limits to development) 30% of US and global lands and waters by 2030 will massively increase all these impacts and usurpations of power. Any areas not made off limits by 30×30, wilderness, park, refuge and other actions will be developed and desecrated to the hilt by wind, solar, transmission line, mining, biofuel and other “green energy” projects.
Meanwhile, international climate alarmists and bureaucrats are telling African and other impoverished nations how much they will be “permitted” to develop and improve their health and living standards – using only “sustainable, renewable” wind and solar power. It’s dictatorial colonialism at its worst.
And amid all that, China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam and other rapidly developing countries are burning more coal, oil and gas – and emitting more greenhouse gases – than most developed nations combined. That means US and EU economic suicide on the climate altar won’t make an iota of difference.
What might a Trump dictator do? Roll back or cancel these dictatorial decrees. Stop fast-tracking wind and solar projects. End abusive environmental justice, DEI and ESG programs. Return America to energy independence and affordable energy. Build the wall and control immigration. Above all, follow the law and Constitution. How revolutionary, tyrannical … and refreshing … that would be!

Alex Epstein: 25 Energy Facts
(If you want the end notes, or the charts and graphs with each item send me an email and I will send them to you.)
(If you want to understand the basis for fossil fuels read Alex Epstein’s book: The Moral Case For Fossil Fuels.)
Fossil fuels make us far safer from climate.
- Annual deaths from climate-related causes (extreme temperature, drought, flood, storms, wildfires) have declined 98% over the last 100 years, even as CO2 levels have risen.¹
- Even though Earth has gotten 1°C warmer in the last century, deaths from cold outnumber deaths from heat by 5-15x. Cold is more dangerous than heat on every continent. Even in especially hot countries such as India, cold-related deaths significantly exceed heat-related deaths.²
- Near-term global warming is expected to decrease temperature-related mortality, avoiding more cold-related deaths than it will cause heat-related deaths—as it has over the past two decades.³
- Despite many incentives for global climate-related damages to go up—preferences for riskier areas, government bailouts—GDP-adjusted climate-related damages are flat.⁴
- Fossil fuel use is 80% of the world’s energy and still growing despite 100+ years of aggressive competition and 20+ years of political hostility and massive solar and wind favoritism.⁵
- There is a desperate need for far more of the global-scale cost-effective energy that only fossil fuels can provide near-term: ⅓ of the world uses wood and animal dung for heating and cooking, and 3 billion use less electricity than a typical American refrigerator.⁶
- Since 1980, India’s fossil fuel use has increased by >700% and China’s by >600%. In the same time frame, India’s life expectancy increased by 17 years and China’s by 14. ⁷
- China, which uses mostly coal to produce “green” tech, has over 300 planned new coal plants designed to last over 40 years.⁸
- Even nations with little or no fossil fuel resources have used fossil fuels to develop and prosper. E.g., South Korea (83% fossil fuels), Japan (85% fossil fuels), Singapore (99% fossil fuels).⁹
- Climate warming is concentrated in colder areas of the world (such as the Arctic), during colder times of day, and during colder seasons. (This means that future warming will occur more in cold situations where it saves lives than in hot situations where it causes problems.)¹⁰
- The most extreme UN sea level rise projections are just 3 feet in 100 years. (This is a completely masterable level.) There are already 100 million people on Earth living below high-tide sea level.¹¹
- Mainstream estimates say hurricanes will be less frequent and between 1-10% more intense at 2° C warming. (This is not at all catastrophic if we continue our fossil-fueled climate mastery.)¹²
- The latest data on global hurricane frequency and intensity (Klotzbach et al 2022) shows no significant alarming upward trend.¹³
- It is common for leading media outlets to deliberately misrepresent the flat long-term hurricane trend. E.g., the New York Times cherry-picked a starting point—the low point of 1980—to make a flat trend seem upward.¹⁴
- The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have made the point that any increases in hurricane frequency in records are likely due to increasing reporting, not actual frequency.¹⁵
- The US Annual Heat Wave Index from the EPA has said, “Longer-term records show that heat waves in the 1930s remain the most severe in recorded U.S. history.” (Today’s “reporting” would give you no indication that this is the case.)¹⁶
- Mainstream science is unanimous that the warming impact of CO2 diminishes (“logarithmically”) as it increases in concentration. Every new molecule of CO2 we add to the atmosphere has less of a warming effect than the previous one.¹⁷
- Battery backup for solar and wind is so expensive that just 3 days of global backup using Elon Musk’s Megapacks would cost $570 trillion, about 6X global GDP.¹⁸
- Solar and wind never provide the exact amount of electricity that is needed. Electricity requires exactly matching supply and demand, and solar and wind on their own exactly match supply with demand 0% of the time.¹⁹
- Even mild increases in demand for critical minerals involving solar and wind have led to scaling issues and cost increases. (What will the unprecedented demand increases of “net zero” plans lead to?)²⁰
- “Net zero” plans to scale solar and wind involve more than doubling the supply of half a dozen major mined materials per decade—even though they can’t point to any examples of any major mined mineral doubling that fast, even with pro-development governments.²¹
- 6 days after pledging to go all-EVs, California Governor Gavin Newsom told residents there wasn’t enough power to charge their EVs.²²
- 80% of the world’s energy is not electricity. For non-electricity energy, solar and wind either can’t do what fossil fuel can—e.g., airplanes or cargo ships—or are far more expensive.²³
- Our dependence on China for key components of solar, wind, and batteries is far greater than our dependence on Russia for fossil fuels.²⁴
- Far from out-competing fossil fuels, solar and wind are growing fast only when given massive government preferences—mandates, subsidies, and no penalty for unreliability—along with crippling government punishments of fossil fuels.²⁵

These dams are very important.
- They produce electricity and no carbon dioxide, as if that should matter
- They are important for flood control
- They provide opportunities for recreation
- The provide irrigation for valuable farm land
Green energy will never take the place of these dams. They produce no electricity at night and have a very short life.
I believe we can find other ways to save the salmon. Indian tribes should have no more to say than any other American.

- Rush to Green Policy based on false foundation We must continue to use fossil fuels, and carbon dioxide is plant food, needed for all life. Eliminating it is a false foundation.
