"This obsession with the slavery of the Antebellum South, again, it is something that happened in the past. No White person alive today in the United States of America has ever owned a slave. No Black person alive today in the United States of America has ever had to pick cotton.
But the reality is, we are all (White or Black, Brown, Red, Peach Taupe Mauve, Plaid) slaves anyway to the "Infernal" Revenue Service, to the Federal Reserve, to the IMF, to the military industrial complex, to the Medical Industrial complex. We do not have the freedom to be independent.
We are forced to buy and to use certain products, to surrender our money for things we don't really want, and that really is an ideal definition of slavery: that your work product is taken away from you and you get nothing in return that you want.
But this obsession with the slavery of the Antebellum South is being fanned up to divide the American people against each other so that we don't unite together against the slavery that is happening in front of us now today.
You think about that for a while." -- Michael Rivero

The Biden administration just got stung with yet another unanimous ruling from the Supreme Court, which of course, included his nominee, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.
In a 9-0 ruling, the Supreme Court found on Friday that some individuals convicted of gun crimes may receive reduced prison sentences. In those cases, gun-related offenses can be served concurrently.
"Congress could certainly have designed the penalty scheme at issue here differently. But Congress did not do any of these things. And we must implement the design Congress chose," Jackson wrote in the ruling.
The report added: "The case involves two subsections of 18 U.S.C. 924. Subsection (c) outlines offenses and penalties and states that no term of imprisonment imposed on a person under this subsection shall run concurrently with any other term of imprisonment imposed on the person. Subsection (j), which was added more recently, outlines other offenses and corresponding penalties. It does not include language about forbidding concurrent sentences."
Kari Lake's trial in her lawsuit against Maricopa County, challenging a denied public records request for 2022 mail-in ballot signature records, will be held today and Monday, September 25.
Maricopa County Recorder RINO Stephen Richer has been subpoenaed to testify and defend Maricopa County's mail-in ballot procedures and their refusal to be transparent. The Recorder oversees mail-in voting operations, which were manipulated to steal the election from Kari Lake.
Lake's trial is today at 101 West Jefferson St., Phoenix, AZ 85003, in Courtroom 811 at 9:00am PT. The Gateway Pundit will provide a live stream of this important trial.
Seven months after James O'Keefe announced he'd been ousted from Project Veritas, the company he founded in 2010 has imploded. Former Veritas employee and investigative reporter Bobby Harr announced that Project Veritas has suspended all operations effective immediately, which The Post Millennial later confirmed.
"BREAKING: Project Veritas suspends all operations effective immediately," Harr wrote on Wednesday. "CEO @HannahMGiles and Jen Kiyak of Human Resources cite financial ruin as reason for additional layoffs on 9/20/23 leaving merely a handful of employees left. All investigations halted as of today."
SUMMARY: Any and all elected representatives who encourage and/or harbor illegal immigrants are violating United States Code and should be removed from office (with no benefits) and jailed, as per the law.
Especially ANY politician who supports sanctuary cities, counties or states should be in jail:
According to the US DOJ website and our laws:
"Harboring -- Subsection 1324(a)(1)(A)(iii) makes it an offense for any person who -- knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, conceals harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien in any place, including any building or any means of transportation.
"Encouraging/Inducing -- Subsection 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv) makes it an offense for any person who -- encourages or induces an alien to come to, enter, or reside in the United States, knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such coming to, entry, or residence is or will be in violation of law.
"With regard to violations of 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(ii)-(iv) and (v)(ii), domestic transportation, harboring, encouraging/inducing, or aiding/abetting, the basic statutory maximum term of imprisonment is 5 years, unless the offense was committed for commercial advantage or private financial gain, in which case the maximum term of imprisonment is 10 years."
There are currently more than 200 "sanctuary" cities, counties and states on record in these United States. That means that the elected representatives of each of those "sanctuary" locations have violated, minimally, Subsection 1324(a)(1)(A)(iii) by harboring illegals, while some violate Subsection 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv) by encouraging them.

U.S. Attorney, now Special Counsel, David Weiss did not have full charging authority during the bulk of his federal investigation into Hunter Biden, Attorney General Merrick Garland slyly admitted in his testimony to the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.
Garland's confession contradicts his previous under-oath insistence that Weiss possessed all of the authority he needed to properly charge President Joe Biden's youngest son with various tax and gun crimes, some of which extended to other jurisdictions.
"You said [Weiss] had complete authority but he'd already been turned down. He wanted to bring an action in the District of Columbia and the U.S. attorney there said 'no, you can't.' And then you go tell the United States Senate under oath that he has complete authority," Chairman Jim Jordan explained during the hearing.
"No one had the authority to turn him down," Garland claimed. One second later, Garland divulged that those U.S. attorneys in fact "could refuse to partner with him."
More than two and a half years into President Joe Biden's White House tenure, his fabulism is on repeat. He's told more lies than anyone could ever quantify, but we've done our best to document his serial falsehoods. Here is part four of The Federalist's rigorous coverage designed to hold Biden and his administration accountable with substantive fact-checking throughout the rest of his presidency.
You can find part three of "The Full List Of Every Lie Joe Biden Has Told As President" here.
Joe Biden has denied his involvement with Hunter Biden's shady business but he can't deny this.
Turns out, the Biden family biz deals were caught on camera in 2015, when Joe Biden was VP!

As reported earlier on Tuesday, The House Judiciary Republicans sent a letter Tuesday that includes transcribed testimony from former Assistant Director-in-Charge of the Washington Field Office (WFO) Steven D'Antuono.
D'Antuono testified that the FBI had numerous confidential human sources (CHS) in the Trump crowd on January 6.
In fact, they had so many FBI operatives in the crowd they had no idea how many were actually there that day!
D'Antuono had quite a record of failures and lies during his time at the FBI.
D'Antuono was the head of the FBI's Detroit field office as the bureau was investigating an alleged kidnapping attempt against Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
YouTube is being widely criticized for its decision to strip comedian Russell Brand of the right to earn money via advertising on his popular channel after a string of women went public with disturbing allegations of rape and sexual assault.
Brand is accused of attacking four women who told their stories anonymously to Channel 4's Dispatches and The Times.
Brand insists he is innocent and the victim of an attack by the 'mainstream media' - a claim which many of his supporters are embracing.
Despite the shocking nature of the allegations that include having an abusive relationship with a 16-year-old girl when he was 31, he has not been arrested, nor charged with any crime.
The Metropolitan Police in London is investigating a separate allegation against Brand relating to a 2003 incident, but says it has not received any reports relating to the allegations in either the documentary or newspaper report.
Brand has, in the meantime, been crucified and martyred in the court of public opinion.
I was expecting a lively exchange when Mike Gallagher invited me to debate the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter James Risen on his "No Interruptions" podcast last week. Instead, I was gobsmacked as the former New York Times reporter abruptly hung up the phone after some 15 minutes.
Like the recent viral video showing Washington Post columnist Philip Bump suddenly terminating an interview, Risen's breaking point came when I questioned his reporting on Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings.
Before we get to that, Risen, who now reports for The Intercept, does deserve some backhanded praise: In the few minutes he spoke on Mike Gallagher's podcast, Risen delivered a master class in concision, echoing most every major talking point fashioned by Biden's handlers and the mainstream media to defend the president.
The Loving Father: Risen framed his defense of Joe Biden by asserting that the president's major fault may be that he loves his son too much. Young Hunter and his brother Beau were in the car that December morning in 1972 when his mother and his baby sister died. This trauma, armchair psychologists suggest, set the stage for Hunter's later drug abuse and his father's boundless efforts to support his troubled son – whose problems were deepened by Beau's death from cancer in 2015. Risen said Joe's compassion probably led him to be too "permissive" toward his prodigal son, implying that he did what any good parent would.
Perhaps. But who knows? Each of us is driven by a confluence of personal forces that are often a mystery to ourselves – and nearly impossible for anybody else to precisely untangle. Everybody has a reason, but discerning those motives is often beyond our powers. This is especially true of Joe Biden, a congenital fabulist whose public career has been an exercise in grandiose self-mythologizing. Claiming to know what makes him tick is an act of hubris.
Slotting the president, or anybody else, into some archetypal narrative – the man who loved too much – is just blowing smoke. That is why, especially in public life, we assess people by their verifiable actions. You don't have to be religious to see the apostle Matthew nailed it when he wrote, "By their fruit you will recognize them."
Anyone capable of critical thought knows this entire globull warming/ climate crisis/ health emergency narrative is false, contrived by the ruling elite/globalist cabal billionaire class as a further means to gain control, increase their already ungodly wealth, tax us into oblivion, lock us down in their 15 minute cities, and dole out our daily allotment of bug protein.
Their narrative is filled with lies, misinformation, and holes so big you can drive a Tesla through them.
They have faked the temperature data for decades.
CO2 is not a pollutant.
Eating meat is not destroying the planet.
Cows farting is not ruining our environment. Of course, Chris Christie farting may be harming the planet.
This fake narrative is dutifully spewed by the corporate regime media 24/7, as they are funded by Gates, Soros, and the WEF to do so. Lies, lies and more lies.
Attorney General Merrick Garland said at a House hearing Wednesday he did not know whether there were government informants present at the Capitol on January 6 – after a former top FBI official testified there were informants there and the feds had to scramble to determine how many.
Garland repeated his answer when getting grilled by Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky during testimony before the House Judiciary Committee.
Massie asked the AG how many government agents or assets were present on or around January 6, also referencing his own earlier inquiry about people 'agitating in the crowd.'
'I don't know the answer to that question,' Garland replied.
'You don't know how many there were, or there were none,' Massie pressed.
When Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy discovered the Washington Post's Emily Heil had contacted his advertisers and labeled him as a person with a "history of misogynistic comments," he took matters into his own hands and called her.
Portnoy posted the 11-minute confrontation in its entirety on Twitter. Heil initially lies, saying she didn't characterize Portnoy as a misogynistic racist, before being confronted with her own words.
"We have this Pizza-fest happening on Saturday, and you're reaching out to our advertisers," Portnoy said. "You're basically sending an e-mail that says, to the effect, 'Dave's a misogynic racist. Do you want to defend yourselves advertising at this event?' Right?" he asked Heil.
Heil, seemingly taken aback, didn't even realize it was Portnoy who had called her.
"I'm sorry. Who are you?" she asked.
"I'm the guy you're writing the article about, Dave Portnoy," he replied.
Heil initially denied the accusation, claiming "I haven't said anything like that."
But apparently Portnoy brought receipts. He read a portion of an e-mail Heil sent to one of Portnoy's advertisers, which he also posted to his website.
House Republicans who have previously supported Ukraine are in little rush to approve a fifth round of aid amid growing skepticism within their caucus.
The Pentagon says it still has roughly $5.5 billion worth of authority to keep transferring weapons to Kyiv, even though the last Ukraine aid package Congress passed is set to expire at the end of the month.
How? Pentagon lawyers argue that they can use the remaining drawdown authority indefinitely due to a complicated confluence of circumstances arising from the Biden administration miscalculating the value of Ukraine military aid earlier this year.
The Senate voted on Wednesday night to approve Air Force General Charles "CQ" Brown, President Joe Biden's pick to be the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Students for Fair Admissions, the group that brought the lawsuit to the Supreme Court that ended affirmative action for admissions at colleges, is now targeting West Point military academy, filing a lawsuit asserting the academy discriminates against white applicants.
A powerful solar storm slammed into Earth on Sept. 18 and 19, triggering stunning aurora shows around the world.
Aurora enthusiasts can thank a massive solar tendril, called a solar filament, for the stunning light show. On Saturday (Sept. 16), it emerged from the sun and ejected a super-hot plasma eruption, known as a coronal mass ejection (CME), toward Earth. The CME caused a disturbance in Earth's magnetic field, resulting in a geomagnetic storm that triggered auroras visible as far south as Colorado (+40.4N), Missouri (+40.3N) and Nebraska (+41N), according to Spaceweather.com.
During a solar storm, energized particles from the sun slam into Earth's atmosphere at speeds of up to 45 million mph (72 million kph) and our planet's magnetic field then funnels the particles toward the poles. The supercharging of molecules in Earth's atmosphere triggers the colorful spectacles, which usually remain limited to areas near the poles at high latitudes for the aurora borealis (northern lights) and low latitudes for the aurora australis (southern lights).
The leftist activist group Shout Your Abortion has posted six billboards across Interstate 55, which spans through five strongly pro-life states.
The asteroid Dimorphos is behaving in unexpected ways after being hit with a NASA rocket last year, new data suggest.
Recent observations of the roughly 580-foot-wide (177 meters) space rock — which NASA intentionally crashed a spaceship into on Sept. 26, 2022, as part of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission — show that Dimorphos may be tumbling in its normally steady orbit around its parent asteroid Didymos, according to New Scientist. Dimorphos also appeared to be continuously slowing down in its orbit for at least a month after the rocket impact, contrary to NASA's predictions.
California high school teacher Jonathan Swift and his students first detected these unexpected changes while observing Dimorphos with their school's 2.3-foot (0.7 meter) telescope last fall. Several weeks after the DART impact, NASA announced that Dimorphos had slowed in its orbit around Didymos by about 33 minutes. However, when Swift and his students studied Dimorphos one month after the impact, the asteroid seemed to have slowed by an additional minute — suggesting it had been slowing continuously since the collision.
"The number we got was slightly larger, a change of 34 minutes," Swift told New Scientist. "That was inconsistent at an uncomfortable level."

Let's look at the problem that involves the angle inclination of a line here. Here I have a line with the equation 9x plus 4y equals 108. First where does the line cross the x axis so this is a little review. Where it crosses the x axis is at x intercept and that happens when y equals 0, so I just plug in 0 for y and I get 9x plus 4 times 0 equals 108 so 9x equals 108 and that means x equals 12.
So if I were to graph this and say this is the point x equals 12 that's where it crosses the x axis. Now what's the angle of inclination of L? In order to answer that question I would need to know its slope and so I'm going to put this in slope intercept form, so let me solve it for y first of all. 4y equals -9x plus 108 and then I just divide everything by 4. I get y equals -9 over 4 x plus 108 divide by 4 is 27. Well that's my slope -9/4.
So to get from slope to angle of inclination, remember the tangent of angle of inclination equals slope so angle of inclination is inverse tangent of slope, in this case inverse tangent of -9 over 4. So let's get an approximation for that on a calculator so inverse tangent -9 over 4 I get -66 degrees to the nearest degree. Now when you get a negative angle of inclination it means that the angle is measured clockwise from the positive x direction, so down this way, so say that.
Say that's -66 degrees so I can easily draw the line if I have an accurately measured -66 degrees which and I know that's very accurate but it's good enough for a quick sketch. So you can use a point on the angle of inclination to sketch the graph of a line.
