Socialism is failing in France. Margaret Thatcher said it best, socialism only works until you run out of other people’s money. French politicians had made promises over the years that could not be fulfilled. Eventually the idea that everyone could be supported on the government dole was going to blow up. Macron was installed as France’s leader so that the economy could be collapsed and taken over by the globalists.

Universal school choice has become the law of the land in Arkansas. Elected on a campaign platform that included serious reformation of the school system in Arkansas, Governor Sarah Huckabee signed the LEARNS Act into law this week. The law gives Arkansas parents universal school choice.

Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc (META.O) has delayed finalizing the budgets of multiple teams as it prepares a fresh round of job cuts, the Financial Times reported on Saturday. More than 11,000 jobs had been axed back in November. That happened at the same time as Amazon and Microsoft announced the elimination of thousands of jobs.

I guess this is the job that Biden said on Tuesday that he wants to finish. That being the destruction of the US economy.

Fighting Back

In what is clearly one prong in the battle against the indoctrination of our children in school, on Tuesday, Iowa became the second state in the country to pass universal school choice. Iowa will now directly provide families with funds to support their children’s education. Arizona was the trendsetter for this new wave of educational freedom after Gov. Doug Ducey signed universal school choice into law on July 7, 2022.

Basement dweller Katie Hobbs who was installed in the Arizona’s governor’s office in the last election is now trying to undo that law. With significant majorities in both houses of the Arizona legislature, the Republicans are not likely to allow that.

Russian President Vladimir Putin declared Tuesday that his nation will ban crude oil and petroleum product exports to countries that impose a price cap on Russian crude.

So, let me get this straight. Russia is the capitalist country in calling for the market to set the price. And the US and Europe are imposing communist restrictions on the oil market.

Fear For The Future

Neil Oliver has gone and done it. Oliver says out loud what many of us have been thinking.

Oliver’s monologue this week discusses the logical consequences of the current state of political affairs not only in the U.K but also in most western countries including the United States. It is rather remarkable in this era of fearmongering about domestic extremism, to see an important voice on a Big Media outlet bravely talking about what appears to be the inevitable end that is coming.

The Davos crowd (that would be the WEF and other such “woke” outfits) has decided that Great Britain should pay “climate change reparations” for all the damage that Great Britain has caused the world by the Industrial Revolution. Rashid Sanook (or Rishi Sunak if you aren’t President Biden), the new, unelected British Prime Minister, has kicked off the COP27 summit by leaking such a ridiculous idea to the press. Let’s remember that Sunak was installed as Prime Minister because the WEF did not care for the previous one.

Freedom or Subjugation

As we approach the end of this election cycle, it is time to evaluate just what this election is about. The Left is screeching about the “end of democracy” if MAGA Republicans are elected to office. Think about that. MAGA means Make America Great Again. Was America great before because democracy did not exist?

I do believe that we are facing a choice between freedom and subjugation, between being human or embracing transhumanism and totalitarianism.

Recently I saw a speech given by a prominent person that expressed a lot of points that are very relevant to our current situation in America. I have cribbed some from that speech to build this post.

The approach I will use here is to simplify the choices facing the electorate. I will focus solely on the choices involving our children.

Segregation Money

Harvard is engaged in defending a suit that alleges discrimination in admissions due to its race-conscious approach. Due to a missed deadline for filing a notice of claim with their insurance carrier, the amount of money that Harvard is spending to protect their “right” to discriminate based on race is now visible for the world to see.
