"In time of actual war, great discretionary powers are constantly given to the Executive Magistrate. Constant apprehension of War, has the same tendency to render the head too large for the body. A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The means of defence against foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at home. Among the Romans it was a standing maxim to excite a war, whenever a revolt was apprehended. Throughout all Europe, the armies kept up under the pretext of defending, have enslaved the people." -- James Madison, Founding Father and 4th President of these United States

Did you know the insects are vanishing?

They are. Land-dwelling insects like butterflies, ants and grasshoppers are now half as common as they were 75 years ago; that’s why those of you who remember catching fireflies on summer nights as kids don’t see them much anymore, and why car windshields don’t get covered in dead bugs like they used to.

This is a part of the animal kingdom that the rest of the ecosystem is built upon, and it’s undergone a drastic plummet that we’ve personally witnessed in our own lifetimes. If you were a sapient insect watching it happen, you wouldn’t be thinking in terms of a future armageddon, you’d feel that you were currently witnessing it.

People bicker and argue about global warming and what should be done about it and if it even exists, but climate change is only one of the many ways our biosphere is moving toward death. There’s also been a shocking loss of two-thirds of Earth’s wildlife in the last 50 years, ecosystems dying off, forests disappearing, soil becoming rapidly less fertile, mass extinctions, oceans gasping for oxygen and becoming lifeless deserts while continents of plastic form in their waters, and the aforementioned insect apocalypse. The way the debate fixates solely on temperature and carbon levels is like if someone had stage four cancer throughout their body and they were in a coma and their vital signs were dropping and the doctor said death is imminent, and everyone was stuck on arguing over whether or not low blood pressure is necessarily a bad thing...........read and watch more...........

 i don't 'vote' and haven't since 1980. there are many reasons some of which are summed up in this image. if we had actual candidates instead of the criminals we continually are presented with from 'two parties' that are virtually indistinguishable from each other except when choosing bloody shirts to wave or the several 'issues' they choose to divide us with. so view this image and tell us how it is that we now are given this fool and told that despite his alzheimers, that he's qualified and actively doing the job;

 serve and protect seem to be words from a distant past that no longer exists and as you read this i suspect you'll wonder where it all went;

The taxpayers of Ohio were put on notice this week that they will be shelling out a massive $17.5 million settlement as part of a lawsuit brought against the Chillicothe Correctional Institution. Seth Fletcher will be receiving the settlement, although no amount of money will ever let him walk or feel anything from below his neck again. Fletcher was paralyzed by officers at the institution who would later go on to brag about it and face no liability.

Fletcher’s nightmare began last year when he was knocked to the ground by officers so hard that he lost feeling in his legs.

According to the Ohio state patrol’s report, during their investigation into the incident, they found that Officer Christopher Coy claimed Fletcher tried to pull away from him. When Coy failed to take Fletcher down with a leg sweep, he tackled the 5-foot-9-inch handcuffed man to the ground.

It was this attack which caused the original paralysis. However, his complaints of no feelings in his legs were ignored and instead of getting him the help that may have saved his ability to walk, officers proceeded to further brutalize him.

After the initial injury, officers continued to pick Fletcher up and drop him, repeatedly. The problem became so severe that Fletcher was unable to move even to drink water. Instead of realizing this was a problem, officers poured water into his face, getting it up his nose in a form of waterboarding.

Fletcher was left in this situation for two days without any help. It wasn’t until psychologist Eric Anderson visited Fletcher in his cell that anything was done and medical help was finally called in. Fletcher was taken to Ohio State Wexner Medical Center where he underwent emergency spinal surgery that was entirely unsuccessful.

“It is probably the most horrific case I’ve seen and I’ve been litigating police misconduct cases for 20 years,” said Fletcher’s attorney, James J. Harrington IV of Fieger Law in Michigan.........read more........

The Democrats Are Already Buying the Immigrant-invaders’ Votes

Paul Craig Roberts

America is the only country in history in which immigrant-invaders can walk into the country illegally, be detained, and collect $1 million per family for the trauma of being detained.

Isn’t it great! Immigrant-invaders can bring lawsuits because they were stopped from illegally entering our country. Biden is using the orchestrated threat of immigrant-invader lawsuits to award every frustrated immigrant invader $450,000 not to sue. It is an orchestration, because there is no basis in law for a person to sue because his illegal entry is blocked. A person who breaks the law cannot sue because the consequences do not suit him. How can America survive led by a party as corrupt as Democrats?

How dare President Trump stop these people from walking in and stretching the resources of American cities, as in Brownsville, Texas, to provide for them. The trauma of rejection was too much for the illegals. Their lawyers are demanding $3.4 million per “family” in restitution.

The American taxpayers who will have to pay for the Democrats’ vote-buying will themselves never experience such fortunes as they are about to fund for illegal immigrant-invaders.

When you think about this, who does it pay to be, a broke American or a rich immigrant-invader?
