Since hurricane Helene there are a multitude of people on social media who truly believe Helene was created, made very strong, and steered by "the Government". It's mind-boggling.

[GatewayPundit] By the end of this year, every citizen in the United States will be required to hand over the personal data of their small business, S-corp, LLC, HoA, Board of Directors, Trustees, Real Estate Holdings, etc., to the Federal Government’s law enforcement database, operated by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCen) under the Department of Treasury. Welcome to the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA).
President Trump saw this act for what it was, just another way for the Federal Government to target the middle class and their political enemies. President Trump vetoed this unconstitutional power grab in 2019, but it’s back.
In an unprecedented act of overreach, the Federal Government is moving to aggressively collect data on all small business owners, who make up the backbone of the U.S. economy, for reasons that seem “murky” at best.
The sole goal appears to be setting up yet another new database of citizens to monitor, observe, and punish. The Feds are moving to implement the CTA at warp speed, and in seeming total secrecy, as the majority of the millions of small business owners in the United States have no idea this law even exists.
By not informing the public, it seems as if FinCEN’s true intent here is to “catch” millions of small business owners in “non-compliance” so that they can be investigated and audited by the Department of Treasury and punished.
Your mandatory compliance is required by January 1st, 2025, or you could face massive fines, and up to 2 years in federal prison.
After President Trump’s veto, it was quietly stuffed back into the pork of the Defense Authorization Act in 2021. And so, without a word to the American public, the largest and most aggressive, warrantless domestic spying program in U.S. history was enacted into law.
Never heard of it? Join the club! Millions of U.S. small business owners have no idea this law exists or that they are required to be in full compliance by January 1, 2025 or they will be subjected to hefty fines of $591 dollars per day.
Failure to self-report to FinCen’s law enforcement database carries up to 2 years in federal prison for being in violation.
Under the CTA, for profit business entities with fewer than 20 employees and less than 5 million in revenue are in the cross hairs. Yes, you read that correctly, if you make more than 5 million dollars annually, or employ more than 20 full time employees – you are EXEMPT from this invasive self-reporting requirement that could land you in prison.
That means, Blackrock, Amazon, Facebook, Pfizer Apple and ExxonMobil can operate “business as usual”, but “grandma’s donut shop” will be required to show her “paper’s please”, if she wants to make a living.
Business registration and entity creation is, and has always been, handled at the state level through state corporation commissions or like organizations.
Why is the federal government overreaching into a state rights issue and creating a massive federal database in violation of the commerce clause?
This means that even though you are a registered entity at the state level, if you do not self-report and register at the federal level, you will not be able to operate your small business.
Why aren’t the State Attorney General’s weighing in on this issue? I hope that is not a rhetorical question.
CTA is the last nail in the coffin of what remains of the illusion of a “free market” economy in the United States and it is a massive economic surveillance program with little to no discernable oversight.
People are slowly starting to take notice, so there is still time and hope. Just weeks ago the Community Associations Institute filed a lawsuit against the United States Department of Treasury challenging the application of the Corporate Transparency Act.
But the CAI, and other small business owners who have also filed suit, cannot do this alone.
A federal judge in Alabama has already ruled this law “Unconstitutional”, yet the Federal Government continues to move full speed ahead, and with little regard for the Constitutionality of this unprecedented overreach.
More interesting, still, is that the ruling of “unconstitutionality” was ruled to only apply to the plaintiffs in the case, setting a very dangerous legal precedent whereby if you complain you get to keep your Constitutional rights, but if you don’t, you lose them.
Both camps – republicans and democrats – need to weigh in on this before November. This is the most dangerous step the United States has ever taken towards nationalizing small private business ownership under a federal umbrella.
Small businesses employ 61.7 million Americans, totaling 46.4% of private sector employees. It’s time to stand up to this blatant attack on state’s rights that seeks to control and/or destroy the economic lifeblood of America.

With just months left in office the Biden-Harris regime decided to update the 17 year old Bush-era directive against assassin@tion of Americans. Why would the regime feel the need to legalize killing Americans who threaten the foundations of our democracy?
In a chilling and unambiguous act, the Biden-Harris regime has recently updated the 2007 DoD Directive 5240.01, stripping away crucial protections that safeguarded American citizens from government-sanctioned assassin@tions. The original directive contained an explicit prohibition, stating, "Under no circumstances shall any DoD Component or DoD employee engage in, or conspire to engage in, assassin@tion." This unequivocal language has been removed, paving the way for a dangerous new precedent that authorizes the targeting of both American citizens and foreign nationals—both on domestic soil and abroad—under vague and ominous "special circumstances."
This egregious alteration marks a perilous departure from the established norms that have historically protected the civil liberties of U.S. citizens. The notion that the government can now potentially authorize the assassination of Americans under the guise of national security is nothing short of a constitutional crisis. It opens a Pandora's box where the executive branch could circumvent legal processes and judicial oversight, allowing for a chilling expansion of government power and an alarming erosion of individual rights.
The Biden-Harris regime’s willingness to authorize assassin@tion reflects a profound disregard for the sanctity of American lives and the rule of law. It exemplifies a troubling trend toward authoritarianism, where the state’s interests are prioritized over the rights of individuals. By enabling the targeting of U.S. citizens—often without the checks and balances that judicial oversight provides—the regime is setting a dangerous precedent that could lead to abuses of power reminiscent of the darkest chapters in our nation’s history.
Moreover, the implications extend beyond mere policy shifts; they signal a fundamental transformation in the relationship between the government and its citizens. The ability of the state to conduct targeted killings without due process undermines the very foundations of our democratic society, where the rule of law and the protection of individual rights have been paramount. It raises unsettling questions: Who decides what constitutes a "threat"? What criteria are used to determine when such extreme measures are warranted?
This new directive does not merely modify existing procedures; it fundamentally alters the landscape of governmental authority and individual rights in America. As we stand at this critical juncture, we must remain vigilant and resolute in our defense of civil liberties. The implications of the Biden-Harris regime’s actions demand serious reflection and urgent action from all who cherish the freedoms granted to us by our Constitution.
In conclusion, the recent updates to DoD Directive 5240.01 should serve as a clarion call for all Americans. The stripping away of prohibitions against assassin@tion represents not just a policy change, but a grave threat to the very essence of our democratic principles. We must rally together to demand accountability, transparency, and a reaffirmation of the rights that define our great nation. The time to act is now; let us not allow this regime to tread upon the rights of the American people without consequence.

[DailyWire] The data fuel concerns that mass illegal immigration could impact the presidential election
The illegal immigrant population has more than quintupled in key swing states since 2021, fueling concerns that mass immigration could impact the outcome of the November elections.
I thought it takes seven years residence to become a citizen. When did that change?
A MarketWatch report detailed the estimated increase in the illegal immigrant population in the seven battleground states that will help decide the outcome of the presidential election between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. The drastic surge in the illegal immigrant populations of key battleground states has added to concerns that the Democratic Party is using mass immigration to achieve political power, as recent immigrants vote overwhelmingly for Democrats.
Michigan, which carries 15 Electoral College votes, saw a 775 percent increase in its illegal immigrant population. President Joe Biden beat Trump in the midwest state in 2020 by roughly 150,000 votes, Trump won it in 2016 by just over 11,000 votes. Arizona saw a 734 percent increase in the number of illegal immigrants residing in the state, while Nevada experienced a jump of 562 percent. Biden beat Trump in Arizona by less than 11,000 votes.
Wisconsin, Georgia, and North Carolina saw increases in their illegal immigrant populations of 467, 401, and 446 percent, respectively. Pennsylvania, worth 19 electoral votes, witnessed a 241 percent increase in their illegal immigrant population.
The Daily Wire revealed that a network of non-profit organizations funded by leftist mega donor George Soros ...either Ernst Stavro Blofeld or Auric Goldfinger come true... is working to “sway the outcome” of national and state elections by naturalizing new citizens and leveraging them as a new voter bloc.
Again, how so quickly?
One of the organizations behind the effort maintains demographic reports of key swing states, highlighting the impact that mass immigration could have on battleground states like Arizona and Georgia.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk warned that mass immigration could lead to “permanent one party rule” under the Democrats, who he says are doing “deliberate voter importation to swing states & fast tracking them to citizenship.”
“The only question is when (not if) enough migrants can vote to flip all swing states,” the billionaire wrote, highlighting how that 1986 amnesty turned California blue. “Unless Trump wins and reverses this scam, 2024 is the last election in America,” Musk added.
America First Legal is suing all 15 counties in Arizona for their alleged failure to remove illegal immigrants from their voter rolls.
Not legal, naturalized citizens after all, but illegals, illegally registered, planning to vote illegally.
”Every county in AZ is flagrantly defying its duty under state law to expunge illegal voters,” the group claims.

Globalists, big corporations, use mass migration to weaken your nation
That way they can control and rob you
It is not just democrats, both major parties are compromised
You need to rebuild society from the ground up with transparency built in
No secret contracts from school lunches on up
Everything transparent and always give contracts to local small business and local small farmers not big corporations - even if cheaper.

The modern western elites are among the dumbest sh*ts in history.
EUropeans think that they can import millions of Muslims and retain control.
The USAans think that they can manipulate and exploit Latinos the way they do with Blacks.

[NY Post] This week President Biden once again took a victory lap on crime, trumpeting preliminary FBI data on trends in 2024.
"Communities across our country are safer now than when I took office," he bragged in an official statement.
Yet, with crime a central issue in this year’s election, he and the mainstream media have carefully ignored evidence that the FBI may be fudging its numbers — much like the way the Bureau of Labor Statistics massively overestimated the number of jobs created during the Biden-Harris administration.
Last month, new FBI data showed that reported serious violent crime (murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault) fell by 3.5% in 2023.
But at the same time — and much more quietly — the FBI revised its earlier data for 2022, turning a reported decrease into a worrisome increase in violent crime.
Last year, the media trumpeted the FBI’s claim that reported violent crime had fallen in 2022 by 2.1%.
But now the FBI admits that violent crime rose in 2022 instead, by 4.5% — off by 6.6 percentage points.
These updated numbers resulted in a net increase in 2022 over 2021 of 80,029 violent crimes: 1,699 murders, 7,780 rapes, 33,459 robberies and 37,091 aggravated assaults.
It’s a concerning change regarding a highly politicized topic. A Gallup poll found in March that "crime and violence" was Americans’ second biggest concern, after inflation.
For a couple of years now, the mainstream media has been running headlines such as this from NBC News: "Most people think the U.S. crime rate is rising. They’re wrong."
USA Today’s take on the 2023 FBI crime data was typical: "Violent crime dropped for second straight year in 2023, including murder and rape."
Yet don’t expect the media to let people know that all the headlines over the last year were wrong — or that 2022’s increase was greater than the reported 2023 drop.
Perhaps the FBI’s newest numbers won’t be revised upward next year, after the election has safely passed.
But even if we take them at face value, it’s important to distinguish reported crime from total crime.
We have known for decades that most crimes aren’t reported to the police. That’s why the US Department of Justice provides a measure of total crime, which includes both reported and unreported crime.
And the results of the Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Statistics 2023 National Crime Victimization Survey, released in mid-September, tell a very different story.
Since victims don’t report most crimes, the NCVS interviews 240,000 people each year about their personal experiences.
Instead of the FBI’s 3.5% drop in serious violent crime, the NCVS found a 4.1% increase in violent crime victimization from 2022 to 2023.
While the FBI claims that serious violent crime has fallen by 5.8% since Biden took office, the NCVS numbers show that total violent crime has risen by an incredible 55.4%. Rapes were up by 42%, robbery by 63%, and aggravated assault by 55% during his term.
The increases shown by the NCVS during the Biden-Harris administration are by far the largest percentage increases over any other three-year period, more than doubling the previous record.
If we compare 2023 rates with 2019’s pre-COVID violent crime rates, the FBI’s new data show virtually no improvement — just a 0.2% drop — while the NCVS shows a 19% increase in that time period.
Much has been made of the recent decline in murder rates. But while murder rates fell by 16.2% from 2020 to 2023, they still exceed pre-COVID levels by a significant 9.6%.
The mainstream media’s treatment of these statistics has been shameful.
Even after the NCVS data was released and former President Donald Trump discussed them in a press conference, most outlets only noted the new numbers in "fact checks" that sought to dismiss their importance
The bottom line: Trump is correct that violent crime has increased significantly during the Biden-Harris administration.
He has also been correct to point out that many police departments no longer report their data to the FBI.
In 2023, 21% of departments including large cities like New York and Los Angeles, sent no crime figures to the FBI. Another 24% of police departments only partially reported crime data in 2022, the last year available.
The mainstream media refuses to mention any data that doesn’t fit their narrative.
But Americans in many parts of the country see the effects of rising crime every day, from locked-up products in the local Walgreens to constant news about assaults in the subway.
We know that our lives were not like this a few years ago.

Given certain key Democrat Metro's have stopped supplying crime data to the Fed's. Naturally the "offical" record shows a drop.
But reality is totally different.
BTW: Wally World, down here in Ga., has hired a private security firm to handle the massive crime problem. The firm is a lot more hands on, and many customers are thanking them for being there. 👍

thinking of revisions
why has Matt Drudge turned on Trump? He was pro-trump in 2016, now he's fanatically supporting demcrats.
What happened to Drudge? Did deep state take control? Did democrats buy the site?
and what happened to ZeroHedge? Had to censor and limit comments first, and now the story list is consistently poor quality

If all violent crimes are reclassified as misdemeanors, did they ever even happen? Ponder that while riding public transportation in NYC.

Super, it's actually worse than that. The DoJ "realigned" their criteria for recording crime stats a number of years ago in order to 'match' judicial outcomes.
Let's take a hypothetical: Perp kidnaps, rapes, and kills a woman. Murder, rape, and kidnapping is plead down to rape and kidnapping. The murder disappears from the stats just like it never happened. Because making the paperwork match is what's important.
