Trapper’s Quote Of The Week

By: Trapper Pettit

In today’s world, the term ‘hit piece’ is only applied to a journalist’s story filled with facts and undeniable evidence reporting on such issues as vaccines, the border, elections, laptops, the deep state, and the like. I repeat, the truth is the lie, which is now the truth. Was Tucker born in 1984?

Trapper’s Quote Of The Week

By: Trapper Pettit

Instead of worrying about the sexual orientation of a stupid crash test dummy, the fools in Washington should worry about something worthwhile, like the impending crash of the world’s reserve currency. Which, for the record, won’t be a test.

WH/Susan Rice is well Aware of Child Labor Violations/Immigrants

By: Denise Simon | Founders Code

Yes, THAT Susan Rice, the hateful video/Benghazi lady that works at the Biden White House. Furthermore, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Xavier Beccera does nothing when it comes to sponsors that immigrant children are released to. And then there is the Department of Labor… silence.

But this is nothing new as it began under the Obama administration. After an Internet search, several outlets reported the same thing that the Obama administration actually did separate children from parents or when just children came across the border they were placed into sponsors’ care and trafficked into the sex slave industry or into agricultural operations under all the same conditions described by the recent New York Times investigation. Yes, imagine the New York Times actually doing an investigation on this scandal… yes… after a long read, there is much the NYT’s left out but it is a start, at least.

As a primer, the Department of Labor is responsible for child labor law enforcement which does include limited exemptions. These immigrant children are actually slave labor working in conditions and overnight shifts that violate the Fair Labor Standards Act.

Chinese Police Stations or Spy Stations?

By: Denise Simon | Founders Code

The first question is why did the FBI not discover this Chinese operation? It was actually investigated and revealed by Safeguard Defenders, a Spanish-based NGO that focuses on the state of human rights in China.

Who is Safeguard Defenders you ask?

Police in China, in coordination with [an] overseas association of Chinese, run by entities of the Chinese Communist Party, has established a series of overseas police “service stations”, in particular in Europe. In Spain, there are 9 such stations so far uncovered. While much of their work is to simply service Chinese residents or tourists, evidence from the Chinese government itself now shows that one station in Madrid has been actively working with Chinese police to engage in covert and illegal policing operations in Spain. For information on the 110 Overseas police “service stations” in Spain and elsewhere, and the global manhunt to “persuade” targets to return voluntarily, see the full investigation 110 OVERSEAS – Chinese Transnational Policing

Meanwhile, back in New York, it seems after a year or so, an investigation and arrests were finally made. But there are other locations across the United States.

Governor Gavin Newsom, These California Law Enforcement Leaders are Calling You Out

By: Ron Wright | American Thinker

The District Attorneys of Tulare County and Riverside County, Tim Ward and Mike Hestrin, respectively, and Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco and Riverside City PD Chief Larry Gonzalez, held a joint press conference on April 12, 2023 (See Video).  These DAs are not radical Left Soros-supported prosecutors.  Instead, they are at wit’s end regarding the unintended consequences of Assembly Bill 109, the California Public Safety Realignment Act, for serial low-level felony offenders.

In my experience, 8% to 10% of offenders commit most crimes, including violent ones.  The others re-offend at a much lower rate.  From a resource allocation perspective, it would be more practical for the criminal justice system to focus on the 8% to 10% population and divert the others.  I would include in the serial offender definition, retail theft gangs who plague many commercial businesses across jurisdictional boundaries.  These serial theft gangs seldom are caught and prosecuted because of the decriminalization of shoplifting.  Every day, serial offenders are in custody.  They aren’t committing new crimes.

AB109 released low-level felons from state prison back to their home counties for incarceration and supervision (AB109 local state prison).  Riverside County DA Hestrin expressed his frustration “Frankly, all of us up here on stage have had enough…. We cannot protect our public; we are getting no help from Sacramento, the laws don’t back us up.”

Chief Gonzalez said, “There was a time when theft, specifically repeated theft, was met with a consequence …. These days, they have been legislated away and our community is suffering….”   Sheriff Bianco added.  “They [legislators] don’t care what we think, they care what voters think….  Until we can get the voters fed up and the voters start calling them, it is not going to change.”

In a World Obsessed with Feelings, Whose Feelings Matter?

By: Linda Goudsmit | pundicity

In a society that eliminates meritocracy by shifting its metrics from achievement to feelings, whose feelings actually matter? Let’s find out.

Competence is the mother of self-esteem. We know this is true by simply observing the delight of young children as they learn to dress themselves, feed themselves, or sound out their first words and realize they can read! Each achievement increases the child’s competence and enhances his developing sense of self. Achievement makes little Johnny feel proud of himself and good about himself. Let’s consider what incentivizes competence and achievement, and what doesn’t. Let’s also consider the motivations for incentivizing competence and the motivations for discouraging it.

If you want to know the motive, look at the result. What made America great was its cultural roots in a meritocracy. Our society awarded achievement with upward mobility. It was called the American Dream, and America was the land where dreams came true. In every sector of society, little Johnny was encouraged to become an independent, autonomous, rational adult, capable of living a life of ordered liberty in our constitutional republic. In other words, little Johnny was encouraged to grow up and perpetuate the American dream. Not anymore.

In the past, each of little Johnny’s achievements was rewarded with praise when he was a little boy. As he grew older he earned grades in school that marked his achievement. Then he competed in sports with friends, and games with family. His grades were awarded certificates of achievement or advanced placement. His sports achievements were awarded with trophies, and wins in family games were rewarded with more praise.

Abortion Drugs Kill Women and Children

By: Cliff Kincaid

The U.S. Supreme Court may be the only hope for America.  And that’s because President Trump made three conservative appointments to the Court. But he also named other judges. One is Matthew Kacsmaryk, a U.S. District Court Judge who has cited substantial evidence that the FDA’s approval of chemical abortion drugs was illegal and that the drugs themselves are dangerous to women and children.

Evidence cited in the case demonstrates that the FDA approved the abortion drugs on an illegal and expedited basis even though they are associated with the deaths of not only the unborn babies but the pregnant women, as well as hospitalizations, blood transfusions, and cases of infection that jeopardize the lives of women and their children.

This Trump-appointed judge’s ruling is noteworthy for how he addresses the main issues, such as how the FDA ignored a petition challenging approval of the drugs for over 16 years, even though the law requires an agency response within “180 days of receipt of the petition.” He explains, “Had FDA responded to Plaintiffs’ petitions within the 360 total days allotted, this case would have been in federal court decades earlier. Instead, FDA postponed and procrastinated for nearly 6,000 days.”

Pro-abortion publications such as Axios are hoping that the judge’s “explosive ruling” will put Republicans on the defensive and enable Democrats to seize on the ruling “to paint Republicans as extremists on abortion.”

Trapper’s Quote Of The Week

By: Trapper Pettit

Playing the long game for world domination differs massively from the short game played for personal gain. Victory is all but guaranteed for the long gamer when he uses the short gamer’s greed and stupidity as the weapon of choice. We ain’t winning, are we, Brandon?

The Church Needs an Exorcism

By: Cliff Kincaid

Jesus Christ went to his death willingly. His mission was to save humanity. We are saved if we believe. On earth, however, we as mortals also have an obligation to save ourselves and our loved ones. But the clergy have no credibility left and leading church officials, including Pope Francis, have gone AWOL.

With a new “supernatural” horror movie on the way, entitled “The Pope’s Exorcist,” starring Russell Crowe, we are being reminded of the evil forces in the world trying to capture souls and send them to hell.

Here’s the official description of the film: “Inspired by the actual files of Father Gabriele Amorth, Chief Exorcist of the Vatican (Academy Award®-winner Russell Crowe), The Pope’s Exorcist follows Amorth as he investigates a young boy’s terrifying possession and ends up uncovering a centuries-old conspiracy the Vatican has desperately tried to keep hidden.”

I know a pastor in our nation’s capital who is a true Christian fighting the tide of moral degeneracy running rampant in society, including within his own church. He even feeds the vagrants and homeless who camp out nearby. Drowning in alcohol and drugs, they tell those helping them that they deserve “respect.”

This pastor was recently mugged outside his church.  The church was vandalized during the May 2020 George Floyd riots conducted by Black Lives Matter and the communist-inspired Antifa movement.
