h/t The Princess Bride


The House recently passed a piece of legislation the other day called “The Parents Bill of Rights Act” (HR 5).  Among other things, the bill is intended to outline the rights parents have while their children attend government schools.  These ‘rights’ include the requirement to provide parents with reading lists and books available at the school library as well as publicly posting curriculum for review.  The bill passed 213 to 208 with five Republicans voting against the measure. They were:

Matt Gaetz

 

Andy Biggs

 

Ken Buck

 

Matthew Rosendale and

 

Michael Lawler

Considering his track record, I was most surprised at Matt Gaetz’s vote against this legislation.  Here is a link to him explaining his vote on the Charlie Kirk Show.

 

To summarize, Rep. Gaetz provided the only Constitutionally sound argument against legislation that outlines a parent’s rights over their childrens’ education:

It’s none of the Federal Government’s business

The only ironic piece of the entire episode was how AOC went completely off the deep end in her own shallow response when she labelled parental rights over their own children’s education as ‘fascist.’

 

These ignoramuses (AOC as its chief-ette) simply have no sense of scale or measure. Literally every attempt to advocate for an idea that goes against their ideology is ‘fascist’ or ‘racist’ or ‘trans-phobic.’  I’m guessing that she must have bought the El Cheapo Thesaurus hoping to save money for her defense of the many ethics complaints lodged against her and she’s now being forced to re-use the same tired, old epithets.  The only thing more useless than a 10-page thesauraus is an avowed Communist with an Economics degree.  Oh, wait…

Now, just as a quick aside, I want to make clear that this legislation should wholly and completely be unnecessary.  There is no authority over a child that supersedes a parent, period. And I fret that we may be committing a mistake with this legislation (and legislation like it such as the “Passenger’s Bill of Rights” for air travel) that by enumerating certain Rights, other rights are excluded by omission. This was a trap the founders avoided by laying out quite specifically that the Rights enumerated in the first 10 amendments of the US Constitution were listed 1) as a limitation on the proposed Federal Government and 2) did not serve to exclude any Natural Rights not necessarily listed in the first 10 amendments.

But the point that needs to be made is that the Communists disagree with the Legislation at all.  They do not believe for a New York Minute that a parent’s authority over their children is absolute. No, these enemies of Liberty believe that you, the sweat of your brow and your children belong to the State. Never forget this.

Our enemy is relentless. Their worldview cannot conceive of any idea or solution that does not result in more power for the State. Such a possibility is utterly incomprehensible to them. They are a dog with a bone; it is all they know, it is all they understand, it is all they want.

But just like dogs, wannabe dictators understand only one thing: a short, sharp shock of a rolled up newspaper to the nose. I have a good feeling that the dogs of our current national discourse are going to get a very much deserved and much-delayed lesson in discipline soon.

When’s Bastille Day?

Resist Act

Restrict Act - Expanding Bureaucratic Power

Restrict Act 2023 S. 686

By KrisAnne Hall, Constitutional Attorney

KrisAnneHall.com

Under the previous “Chevron” judicial precedent Congress granted great power to executive agencies and their department heads.  Deferring to the judgment of unelected bureaucrats, Congress wrote law after law expanding executive agencies' ability to weild unchecked power. This administrative state has wreaked immeasurable havoc on the liberties of everyday Americans.  Finally, through a series of Opinions, SCOTUS overturned the Chevron precedent and declared that federal agencies must be able to point to specific Congressional authorization for their actions. Courts should be “skeptical,” the decision said, of these agencies' authority to set broad policy through novel statutory approaches.  SCOTUS moved the pendulum of power back in the direction of the proper Constitutional limits of separation of powers and delegation of powers.

In the alleged fight against the Chinese Communist Party, certain members of Congress through the Restrict Act, will reverse the SCOTUS corrections and push the pendulum back in the direction of arbitrary, unlimited, and unchecked bureaucratic authority.    Apparently certain members of Congress have become comfortable and accustomed to creating dangerous and unlimited power within these ungovernable executive department heads through “novel statutory approaches.”  By authorizing broad executive interpretation, Congress surrenders its own authority to bureaucrats and sidesteps accountability after unleashing these already lawless agencies.

We've watched in recent months numerous hearings featuring Congressional representatives attempting to reign in lawless agencies and their leaders. Now they want to empower another executive to wreak havoc across the landscape of American Liberty.  Talk about a disconnect! Why  in the fight against the "enemies" of America do the liberties of Americans always end up in the crosshairs?

The Restrict Act is an eggregious assault on American liberty. It adds unlimited and overbroad authority to the Secretary of Commerce. It secures no true check and balance. It sidesteps due process protections. It creates enormous loopholes which circumvent every constitutional limitation placed upon government. Here are just a few goodies in this new Patriot Act Lite:

  • Gives the government authority over all forms of communication domestic or abroad.
  • Grants powers to “enforce any mitigation measure to address any risk” to national security now and in any “potential future transaction.”
  • Allows the Director of National Intelligence and Secretary of Commerce the authority to universally designate new “Foreign Adversaries” without notifying congress.
  • "Foreign Individuals” can now also be US citizens that are deemed a national security threat.
  • Requires a joint resolution of Congress to overturn.
  • Once designated, the bill grants authority to enforce any action deemed necessary to mitigate the threat, with no due process and few limits on punishments.
  • Authorizes $1,000,000 fine, 20 years in prison and forfeiture of everything you own (no due process).
  • Grants unlimited hiring power to positions of enforcement, unlimited funds with little or no review.
  • Immunity from FOIA...(in other words: secret courts, secret searches, secret siezures, secret punishments).

The idea that the Restrict Act is somehow limited to “foreign” threats is just as laughable as when that assertion was made in 2012 when the “Indefinite Detention” provisions were added to the NDAA of 2012 and equally as unbelievable as the “sunset” provisions added to the 2001 Patriot Act that continues to deny the constitutional limits of government 20 years after its legislative sunset was scheduled to take place. It does absolutely NOTHING to affect the Chinese Communist Party but it certainly opens up a vast opportunity to tyrannizes Americans. And all it took was Tik Tok; that's how easily some will move to shred the Constitution when the right boogey-man comes along.

If passed the Restrict Act will likely plague the Liberties of Americans for generations to come.  We must act now to prevent this violent attack on our Constitution.  Tell your representative to RESIST the Restrict Act.

The World Didn’t Change, We Did

I visited the doctor this week. Nothing serious, but thanks for asking.

I only bring this up because it is so unusual; I NEVER go to the doctor. I avoid doctors like, well, like the plague.

And if our collective experience over the last couple years is any evidence, I’d say my longstanding strategy to avoid ‘medical professionals’ turned out to be well founded.  I predict when I am 236 years old, someone will ask me what my secret to long life was and I will tell them, “Eat your veggies, have a glass of wine with dinner and avoid all doctors!”

Regardless, I needed to refill a very minor (and my only) prescription which had run out recently. Complicating this very boring situation was the fact that I never bothered to pick a new doctor when I moved from the People’s Republic of Portland to Free Florida over two years ago. Time to find a new doctor!

Now don’t think for a second that I had somehow forgotten our collective experience with the ‘medical’ industry over the last 3 years. Images of professionally choreographed (by whom?) dancing nurses bounced through my head as I made the temporary concession to see a ‘doctor’ to refill my small 8-dollar prescription. And when I finally landed on a ‘doctor’ to visit, trust me, my skepticism was on high alert.

I have to say that, considering our shared experiences of illegal mask mandates, combative businesses and the imprisonment of patriots for insisting on the ‘my body, my choice’ precedent to refuse medical mandates, I have to say that I was a little apprehensive as I walked up to the medical office building for my appointment that day! I simply didn’t know what to expect.

Remember: I hadn’t visited a doctor in three years.  I simply didn’t know if the off-Broadway Dancing Nurse troupe and Mask Mandate Enforcement Brigade that guarded the front desk would scream at my beautifully unmasked face and order me, without authority, to don a paper face diaper or require some other useless ritual just to see the Great and Magnificent ‘doctor.’

And it was for this reason I built the BreathEasy app in the first place.  BreathEasy gives patriots the ability to flag woke businesses so that OTHER patriots will know beforehand to avoid them. BreathEasy is our tool to starve the beast of our hard – earned dollars and build the parallel economy one BreathEasy vote at a time.

Unfortunately for me, nobody had voted on any medical establishments in my area yet! So, I had the honor of being the advance guard to test the waters for my fellow patriots nearby. And, yes, I opened the BreathEasy app and voted!

Here's the good news: Nobody accosted my beautiful, unmasked face. There were no Karens calling the police nor were there any minimum wage guards handing me a paper slave muzzle; I was able to enter the building and ride the elevator to the doctor’s office in peace. It almost felt like 2019 in there.  Almost…

But here’s the bad news: I am over 50 which I presume is some sort of milestone age in medical circles. As soon as I walked in, I felt like a limping wildebeest separated from the herd just waiting to get billed into oblivion by these hyenas of the medical Serengeti. And when the ‘doctor’ finally met me (for the first time) in the examination room, he could barely contain his excitement at his dumb luck of getting an over-50 male with good insurance.

Unfortunately for him, I am in excellent health. I eat right, I am not overweight, I go to the gym 4 times a week and I have a brain in my head. But that didn’t stop the Pfizer Pitchman!  As he entered the examination room, his first words to me were, “You’re 50! You’re halfway done!”

This is the man I am supposed to entrust my longevity to???

I swear to God, I should have walked out right then…

After a few very perfunctory questions, this ‘doctor’ began prescribing all manner of blood tests, probes, medications, cameras and scopes to be inserted in all the most inconvenient of places.  And all this happened in the first 10 minutes of the very first visit with absolutely ZERO medical records to inform his ‘professional opinion’ (remember, I don’t go to doctors, so no records). I swear I saw two tiny $’s in the pupils of his eyes as he entered the tiny examination room.

Get this: One of the medications he prescribed was an acid reflux medication.  And when I told him, “I don’t have acid reflux” do you know what he said? He said, “You may have reflux without even realizing it, it’s just best to get you on this medication now.”

Wow. It really was 2019 in there. Did I suddenly have ‘Asymptomatic Acid Reflux??’ Did he honestly think he could peddle the same lines that worked before the recent COVID unpleasantness?

So at the end of the appointment, this doctor had signed me up for two exploratory procedures, a litany of blood tests, prescribed an unnecessary medication and recommended yet another ‘injectable’ medication that he called a ‘cure’ but, when pressed, revealed that the ‘cure’ wears off after a few months! My God, this guy was swinging for the fences, wasn’t he?

Finally on the other side of this medical minefield and on my way out the door, I paid my co-pay and just got the hell out of there; I felt dirty. I had brushed up against medical corruption and every fiber in my being screamed, ‘run away!’

In the days following this appointment, I replayed the episode in my mind and I realized something. This ‘doctor’ wasn’t to blame; he was doing the only thing he knew how to do: prescribe drugs. This had ALWAYS been the system we lived under and which we all suspected to some degree or another. It’s just that it had become undeniable now.  ‘Horse de-wormer,’ anyone?

And then I realized the most important thing: the system hadn’t changed, it had always been thus. It was I who had changed. 

Look, our shared experience worldwide has changed ALL of us and how we perceive the world we were born into. No longer do we trust authority blindly like we did before. We are skeptical, we are questioning, we are distrustful of the organs of authority positioned over us. And this applies in the political realm just as much as the medical. These ‘authority figures’ sold their credibility on the alter of tyranny and compliance and it will be decades before they get it back. They mistakenly believed that their success was measured in dollars when in fact, it is measured in trust.

But the good news is that we see it now! Collectively, we now look at modern doctors as co-opted, corrupt salesmen for an industry who has no interest in curing us at all.

Granted, some of us came to this conclusion decades ago, but many of us have only realized it recently.  These latecomers to this realization are watching their friends, relatives and acquaintances drop dead from a ‘safe and effective’ injection cruelly called a ‘vaccine.’ They are joining our ranks daily.

I foresee a drastically different future for the medical profession after all the damage they’ve done to themselves. I predict the medical profession will regress towards what it does best: setting bones and prescribing chicken soup. And to this I say, “GOOD!” How many medications do we take to counteract the side effects of yet other drugs? Isn’t it just smarter to avoid the Merry Go ‘Round of side-effects treatment altogether?

And, in case you were wondering: I filled the one little prescription I needed and cancelled all the rest.

Patriot, we, together, have awakened to the true nature of the forces arrayed against us on a myriad of fronts. It is incumbent upon us to change the game and write new rules for ourselves. We are no longer ignorant participants in our own slaughter. We are taking charge.

Welcome to the New World, Neo.

They Are Still Out There

As many of you know, the BreathEasy app has been live since the summer, and we’ve had great success in spreading the word about this new tool in the Patriot’s arsenal to fight tyranny and illegal mandates. As you well know, the BreathEasy app allows its users to vote on businesses on how well they respect your rights. Being a BreathEasy business is an invitation into the Parallel Economy given by the customers’ own votes.

Does a business force their employees to wear a mask?

Are they a leftist organization that supports evil?

Vote them down and spread the word about them. Our votes starve the beast of our hard-earned money and redirect it to businesses who share our values.

For much of the summer as BreathEasy has grown, we haven’t had many detractors at all; everyone instinctively understands the true value of creating a network of likeminded businesses and consumers united by common values. Together we become unstoppable. It’s not a hard concept to explain.

But this week was different. BreathEasy received its first ‘limp shot across the bow’ by one of those useful idiots we saw burning down cities last year in “mostly peaceful protests.”

And just like all domestic enemies and FBI agent provocateurs, he was clothed in the trappings of a Patriot pretending to be interested only in advancing the cause of Liberty.

Unfortunately for him, however, he simply couldn’t hide his simmering hate emblematic of the foot soldiers of despotism. Let’s take a look at his email for your entertainment.

[All typos and profanities left as received. Does spell check not work for Communists?]:

You’re site is supposed to let me vote for shit bag businesses that people need to hear about. When I try to down vote I get a stupid ass message saying- ‘don’t be shy mac, get closer and speak your mind”. WTF is that? I’m trying to speak my mind, and I’ve sent them a detailed breakdown of why they are a piece of shit business! So, does your app work, or not?

Sorry, but I wasted my time signing up and giving you my information, it pisses me off that it doesn’t work.

Dear reader, I can tell you without reservation, this individual was not a Liberty-loving compatriot in the trenches with us fighting for the Rights of Man. This was a basement-dwelling, keyboard-wielding, cheeto-dusted Social Justice ‘Warrior’ attempting to poison the reputations of Patriot businesses by fraudulently downvoting them from the comfort of his mother’s home. And he also gives up the game when he mentions that what he truly regrets is ‘giving me his information.’ He now knows his cover is blown and he is now a known quantity. Our enemies only prosper in the dark and his shield of anonymity has been ripped from him, and he knows it.

Unfortunately for our lazy enemy, he soon discovered that my feet were on Freedom’s Battlefield well before he was born; He failed to account for the fact that I fully recognize that we are at war and, as such, I designed BreathEasy to play both offense and defense.

The BreathEasy app plays offense by taking the fight to the enemy. We will create a united front against illegal mandates and summarily IGNORE them. BreathEasy businesses do not enforce illegal mandates as agents of the government and when a BreathEasy business is targeted by our enemies, the call goes out to the network to render support.

The BreathEasy app plays defense by disallowing the tired tactics of lazy thinkers and fraudulent actors. Today’s most recent useful idiot thought he had an original idea to fraudulently downvote patriot businesses and thereby ruin our network from the inside. He’s optimistic, if not hopelessly naïve.

“These people are stupid.”

They constantly underestimate the unconquerable Human Spirit that is grounded in Liberty and intrinsic to our being. So little research did this mental midget do, that he did not know that BreathEasy users must be physically present at the business to render a vote!

He quickly learned that he must put down his Xbox controller, get off his cigarette-burned couch, dust off the Cheeto crumbs from his scraggly, adolescent ‘beard’ and march his sweatpanted ass down to the Patriot’s place of business to make his Karen voice heard.

Friends, I can tell you that I have received legitimate criticisms from well-meaning patriots that I should loosen up this rule and allow people to vote from home on the internet. These folks are easy to identify as well-intentioned patriots. But just as easily identified are the ‘Insider Threats’ such as the most recent run-in with Antifa’s JV team. I provide this as an object lesson that while BreathEasy is experiencing significant growth and support by our friends, our enemies are not yet vanquished.

Here’s the irony of it all: Sam, the Social Justice Failure attempted to pervert the Patriot Economy’s Ballot Box called BreathEasy just as his ilk have done to the Electoral ballot box with mail-in voting. I swear, there’s not an original thought in the whole bunch.

And, for your reading enjoyment, I provide my reply:

Relax. You must be within 250 feet to vote on the business. This prevents Basement Dwelling, Antifa snowflakes such as yourself from voting maliciously from their couch.

Additionally, you don’t vote from the website, you vote from the app. Or didn’t you know that?

Curious: How is it you sent a ‘detailed breakdown’ of why they are a woke business when the only option is to tag the businesses with prewritten descriptions?

Gosh, is it possible you’re not exactly as you claim?

Quelle Surprise….

Sorry, Mac. You’re gonna have to leave your parent’s basement to do your "damage."

Sincerely,

R. Altomare

PS: While this week's example of failed adulthood was the first attempt to subvert the BreathEasy App, he certainly wasn't the first naysayer to appear. Unfortunately, the individual who claims this ignominious title was a former friend that came out of the woodwork who believed that writing anonymously would protect his identity. It didn't. He was as transparent as Spooky Mulder.

Come now, Mick. You must certainly know by now that there are 'no more secrets...'

When looking at the big picture of our ongoing national crisis, the fight for a fair election in the State of Arizona is strikingly similar to South Carolina’s ejection of Federal forces from Fort Sumter in 1860. Let me explain:

In case your high school history class was more than a few years ago, six days after he removed his State from the American Republic’s contract (the US Constitution) in 1860, the Governor of South Carolina enforced the sovereignty of his nation and removed American federal forces from a South Carolinian fort when they refused to withdraw from the (now foreign) territory of South Carolina. After several refused requests, the SC governor was forced to open fire on the federal forces to enforce his demand.  This action was marked (even at the time and not just through history’s lens!) as the first shots fired in the First American Civil War. We are seeing the same in Arizona, but merely of a different form.

I have long held that the United States is in the midst of its Second American Civil War and, while no shots have been (formally) fired between State and Federal forces, we have engaged the enemy in an increasing number of legal, informational and memetic skirmishes over the last 6 years nonetheless. And we are winning.

And it is the protracted legal fight for fair elections in Arizona that mark a formalization of hostilities against corrupt transnational forces who have seized control of this southwestern State which make it stand out as our generation's Fort Sumter moment. No longer are corrupted elections a thing of whispered conspiracy theories. As of this writing three counties have ‘delayed’ the certification of their elections and, by so doing, have stymied our enemies’ steal of yet another State.

Our enemies have already declared defeat in Florida and they cannot brook another Florida in Arizona. They will fight like the cornered animals they are. So STOP being surprised and depressed when these animals fight to maintain their position of privilege! Expect the cur to snap at you and you’ll never lose a finger.

When (not if) the Kari Lake election win is finalized (however it may happen), an alliance of States will form by default.  Arizona, Texas and Florida will form the backbone of formalized, State-Level resistance to the American Federal Empire.  And, as this backbone forms and solidifies, more States will join the cause. There is no need to secede when 45 of 50 States speak their values in unison!

From where I sit, I see a brushfire of Liberty spreading on two different levels.

  • First, at the county level. One by one, individual Arizonan Counties are refusing to certify a known-corrupted election. They have seen the reports that greater than 60% of vote machines had problems on election day. These brave county officials have learned the lesson of stolen elections.  As counties decide to ‘delay’ certification of a questionable election, more will follow. Soon, only Maricopa County itself will be the only county invested in their steal of the will of the people.
  • Secondly, on the State level. Just like the small rural counties in Arizona, Florida was the vanguard to prioritize election integrity and actually put teeth in its laws. Hard work by many grassroots organizations all throughout Florida have pushed accountability and actual laws to shore up voter integrity in the State. Later, Florida was joined by Texas and soon, Arizona will join this Alliance against Evil and corruption.

Friends, as I wrote in a previous essay, our victory is assured. The hard work is being done, our neighbors’ eyes have been opened and now we are really in the mop up phase of the Second American Civil War.

The cynics in our ranks would point to the ‘loss’ in Pennsylvania as evidence we are losing our country.  WRONG! Sloth was the very best candidate they could come up with! This is an unmitigated win because the American Communists were forced to cheat to levels so overwhelming to drag their brain damaged candidate across the finish line that the steal wasn't even subtle at all.  Did you know that over 50% of Sloth’s votes were mailed in? Our enemies in Pennsylvania won a skirmish only. I predict Sloth’s ‘win’ won’t survive 6 months.

How can I be so certain of Kari Lake's win and a reversal or similar invalidation of the Pennsylvania ‘election?’ Because lies are forever and people are looking for them.  The evidence already exists to completely invalidate these ‘elections’ and the American public is fully aware of the theft of their vote.

We are in uncharted waters, friends. But that doesn’t mean we don’t have the wind at our backs and a divine navigator at the helm.

Sincerely,
