Before I get to this morning's episode with Matt Bruce on The Captain's America: Third Watch, on which we talk about the upcoming debt ceiling standoff, among other things, I want to tease a few things that are coming up.One of them is a new piece I'm working on about the recent Davos conference facilitated by the World Economic Forum, it's attendees, and the agenda that they had which has everything to do with controlling you, controlling every country of the world through capturing their economies, their use of COVID as a motivating force, and their eye – which is now focused on digital currency so they can force you to do what they want you to.I'm also teasing Pandemic 3: The Awakening. I'm going to put up a link with a preview to the latest installment of the docu-series. Now, whether you believe full-heartedly in the idea that COVID was planned or that the vaccination scheme was planned, it's worth listening to what this guy has to say. If we're going to be wise we have to look at both sides of everything and stop living in echo chambers.So, I'm going to be posting the preview video, the link, and I strongly urge you to check it out. Then, this morning segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce…Underground USA is a reader-supported publication.

Before we get to today's segment on TalkBack with Chuck Wilder, I want to talk a little bit more about who's culpable for the top secret documents being in Joe Biden's garage…and his personal office…and every other place they're not supposed to be.If you have a Chief of Staff – for president or a vice president or anybody at that level of government, that Chief of Staff is obligated to know about every single thing that goes on in that office. He or she is in charge. So, while Joe Biden may not have known what documents were in boxes next to his Corvette in the garage, Ron Klain, his Chief of Staff – both from when he was Vice President and now as President – should have known exactly what was in those boxes and what documents were contained therein.He needed to know where these documents were, when they were transported, who transported them, and why they were transported to where they were transported.Ron Klain is the hardcore radical Leftist that manages the White House today. So, as we start talking about culpability and who should be held accountable for these documents being illegally in locations they're not supposed to be.It's not an oversight. They were illegally removed. A crime has been committed and that's an absolute; there's no arguing away from that. It doesn't matter whether the Biden White House is “cooperating” with the National Archives, is “cooperating” with the Special Counsel or is cooperating with the DoJ. The fact that the top secret documents were there means a crime was committed and that's what we need to focus on:* Who knew about it?* When did they know about it?* Why was it authorized?* Who moved them?Everyone who knew about these top secret documents being in Delaware or being at the University of Pennsylvania – when they weren't supposed to be there – they are culpable; they've committed a crime. and it all starts with Ron Klain, Joe Biden's Chief of Staff.So, let's look at him. Let's look at what he said. Let's look at who he directed. Because if he didn't know about the movement of top secret documents out of a SCIF that whole hierarchy at the White House has to go.I also want to take issue with the way Chuck Schumer is responding to this crime.A recent talking head show visit by the Senate Majority Leader (sampled in the podcast) is demonstrably different from the way he sounded when Mar-A-Lago was raided by the FBI looking for top secret documents.This is the kind of hypocrisy that makes people hate politicians.Chuck Schumer is still the Majority Leader in the Senate because we had people who didn't show up to the polls or, if they did, they were all freaked out by the propaganda about MAGA candidates. We needed a sea change election this past midterm, a sea change that never materialized.Those of you who didn't vote or didn't vote for someone because they said they were MAGA or they believed the last election may have been skewed, only to re-elect the same people back to Washington (who are spending like drunken sailors into the trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars), you've got to wake up! You've got to wake up. You've got to start voting for people who are good for the country rather than whether they've got a D behind their name or they've got an R behind their name. There are some Republicans I would and will never vote for including Mitchich McConnell. He's got to go too.It's not just on the Left. It's on the Right, too. It's time to clean up the swamp.But, we should all be looking – when it comes to these top secret documents – at Ron Klain, Joe Biden's Chief of Staff.Then, I talk with Chuck Wilder on TalkBack…Underground USA is a reader-supported publication.

Before we get to this morning segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I'd like to acknowledge Martin Luther King Jr. Day.It's important that we start circling back – and I hate to use that term because of Jen Psaki, I mean no disrespect by using it – but we need to circle back to the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We have gotten to a point where we are judging people; our society is judging people by the color of their skin, especially on the caustic Left.They have completely abandoned Martin Luther King Jr's teachings and abdicated their fidelity to the Civil Rights Movement. Today, all the radical Left does is judge people by their skin color and it is reprehensible.Critical Race Theory is racism. And I know that people on the Left would call me a racist for saying that but the fact is they are the racists. They're judging people because of the color of their skin without even knowing them; without even caring to know about them. And they compound that by saying the sins of several generations past stain people today and will always stain people in the future.That's ridiculous.So, in commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I'm asking you to start pushing back on these idiots and opportunists; those who are trying to use race to further their own selfish needs, desires, and agendas.I'm going to play a portion of the I Have a Dream Speech that we should all remember and return to when we talk about race in the United States. We have more in common than we have in difference. We were well on our way to being healed before the Obama Administration. I blame today's contemporary fascist Left for rekindling the divisions of racism in the United States, and they're doing it all to advance an agenda.So, please listen to these words. Take them to heart. And let's start acting on them again like we did before the fascist Left came to power and divided us once again.Then, this morning segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce…Underground USA is a reader-supported publication.

Before we get into the current segment of The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I'd like to play something for you that I got from a good friend of mine, Cameron.I find what is said in this opinion segment (found on Twitter) very interesting, especially when you look at how we've come through COVID and how some people were brave enough not to fall to the pressure of being vaccinated, and for good reason, it turns out.There are some people who are starting to understand the seriousness of the whole endeavor. I touch on this with Matt later on in the segment about the blood supply in this country and how we're going to have to pressure our elected officials to require hospitals and blood banks to institute “non-vaccinated blood holdings” for those of us who didn't get vaccinated so that we aren't polluted with the mRNA vaccine component in donated blood by people who have been vaccinated.Give this a listen.

Before we get into this episode of Talkback with Chuck Wilder – in which I get into the Right's ineptitude when it comes to messaging and conveying a cohesive and coherent narrative, I'd like to take issue with a podcast I heard from the FOX News podcast network in which they talk to someone from the University of Virginia about the Electoral College.Nowhere in that interview was it stated that the Electoral College's primary purpose is to protect the middle country – flyover country – from the urban areas when it comes to being overrun by a purely democratic election.When we vote for President we vote for Electors. Those Electors are determined by the census. If we were a pure democracy, where we went with a national vote total, people in rural areas would never have their voices heard. Politicians would only campaign in urban areas because it would be cost-effective in gleaning the most votes. So, you would see Blue cities owning the United States government forever.Politicians would only campaign in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Boston…I hope you're starting to get my drift.These are all Blue cities filled with Blue voters. I'm not saying there's not any Republicans in these locations but they never win because they're not the majority of the voters. So, if you've got politicians that are only catering to the urban areas you get a woke nation 24/7 365…for the rest of time!The Electoral College protects the electorate from that. It gives a voice to the states that don't have New York Citys and Chicagos and Philadelphias. It balances our election system out. The Electoral College protects the rights of the minority.The fact that somebody who was brought on to a FOX podcast to talk about what the purpose of the Electoral College and the protection point was never broached? The only thing I got out of that podcast was that the Electoral College was an antiquated system that we're stuck with. A more uneducated take on the Electoral College I have never heard.And as the Left tries to move our country to say, “Hey, for President of the United States we should have a national vote and and the majority should win!” That's mob rule and that gives the overwhelming advantage to urban areas only. Do you want Lori Lightfoot to be the main influence in who's the President of the United States? Do you want Los Angeles's mayor to have an over-weighted representation in who is elected our President of the United States? Imagine Bill de Blasio having more to say about it than you!It is beyond time that we understand the mechanics of the civics entailed in our form of government. We must get this education back into the schools. It's obvious that when someone working at a major university is brought on to a major news podcast network and they never mention that the Electoral College protects the rights of the minority. It is obvious that we are in deep trouble when it comes to people who are espousing what things “are” and what things “aren't.”We need to get educated on this issue because if the Electoral College goes the country is finished; it's over. It's a very important thing to address and we all need to be curious about why people in university positions don't understand that the number one important aspect of the Electoral College is to protect the rights of the minority. That's what America is all about.Then, we talk with Chuck Wilder on Talkback…Underground USA is a reader-supported publication.

Before we hit this morning's episode of The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce – broadcast on the Salem and Genesis Communications Networks, I'd like to acknowledge that Joe Biden actually visited somewhere near the border in El Paso, Texas.The media is celebrating it; all of a sudden it's getting the attention that it should have been getting from the second Biden took office. But we have to ask ourselves a sincere question: What did it serve?What did it prove? What did it accomplish? Nothing.If the White House didn't know that the southern border was porous and that people were just pouring over the border in record numbers then they're delinquent in understanding what's going on in the country.So, it's impossible for me to believe they didn't know the southern border – in Texas and Arizona especially – we're wide open. It's ludicrous to think they didn't know this.What took place with Biden getting down to the border was an exercise in gaslighting. He's feigning that he cares about the border when a stroke of his pen two years ago could have rectified what is happening at the border today.To think that when he gets to Mexico City to talk with the Mexican President that the Mexican Government is going to do anything to help us on the border…that's just Insanity. It took President Trump to threaten the country of Mexico with economic pain before they'd even think about helping us.So, this entire exercise of Biden taking his entourage down to the border and exploiting a photo op and saying he's going to be engaged in securing the border, in helping these poor downtrodden people, and…it's all BS. Nothing is going to change.And with the Republicans not actually taking control of the Senate during the midterms Mayorkas isn't going anywhere because he can't be impeached and removed. There are consequences to not showing up for elections and I'm hoping that people on the Right side of the aisle who didn't show up because “orange man bad” and people in the middle who didn't show up because “orange man bad” understand the errors of their ways. At this point, what we thought would be a ship turning around and heading back in the right direction, well, it is not going to happen. We just pulled the throttle back a little bit. Biden on the Border? It served nothing. It accomplished nothing. It means nothing. Until we have a new administration that's serious about national sovereignty, the status quo will remain. Then, this morning's segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch…Underground USA is a reader-supported publication.

Before we get into yesterday morning's segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I'd like to acknowledge that US Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), is the new Speaker of the House…after 15 votes. That's the first time that's happened in a hundred years and then only after having acquiesced to some demands that, quite honestly, weren't that unreasonable. The Speaker of the House has a lot of power just because of the position. You don't need to amass more power underneath that position to run the chamber as a totalitarian as Nancy Pelosi did. There is a great article by Glenn Greenwald – not necessarily someone from the Right camp – that talks about how lockstep the Left is and how the narrative that the Right just follows their leaders and never questions authority is really just a false narrative. It's a great article. He's got it over at Rumble. Go take a listen. I was impressed with it.But, as we move forward, we need to make sure that the things that we were promised come to pass. We need to make sure that Kevin McCarthy's Republican contingent in the House repeals funding for the 87,000 new IRS agents, perhaps moving that funding over to make sure we have enough people on the border to close it.We have to be fiscally responsible. Republicans have not been in recent decades.And we have to start asking ourselves if we, as a people, are really free with the way government is executed today. In every aspect of your life ask yourself, “How free am I? Am I free to do as I please?”Keep in mind the adage, “your right to throw a punch ends where my nose begins” because that's how we have to be here in our Republic. Everybody has rights your rights don't supersede another's. The Left doesn't understand that. That's why they try to elevate factions above one another; to create chaos and discontent and divisions so that they can cobble together their “coalitions” to find that 51 percent in any election.Everybody has rights. Everybody's rights must be respected. It doesn't matter what your gender. It doesn't matter what your race. It doesn't matter how you identify. Take all of that garbage; all of that label garbage away and every individual has rights granted by our Creator. And we need to start asking ourselves, “How free are we? “How much of our liberty; how much of our freedom have we ceded to the government under the guise of safety and protection?”We don't need government to protect us, less from enemies foreign and domestic and that definition of enemy is pretty clear. It's not protecting us from credit card companies. If a credit card company wants to charge 32 percent interest than they're going to charge 32 percent interest. Don't use the card. Don't apply for it. You take responsibility for what happens to you.Every time we take more responsibility for our own actions and our own decisions the less we need government and the freer we are.So, we need to start asking that question about everything that we see in the news, everything that we touch during our normal course of events every day: “How free are we? How much freedom have we given away? And how much freedom can we take back?”So, with this new Congress, let's keep an eye on that. We don't want to see an expansion of government. We want to see a decrease in government authority over our individual lives. It's something we have to keep in mind moving forward.Then, Matt Bruce and I discuss this and more on the Friday morning edition of The Captain's America: Third Watch…Underground USA is a reader-supported podcast and publication.

Before we get to this morning's segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I'd like to take a moment to talk about the attacks on New York City Police Department personnel on New Year's Eve into New Year's Day in the Big Apple.The FBI says the person who executed the machete attack on three law enforcement officers on New Year's Eve was on their radar, yet they didn't do anything about it; didn't do anything to get in front of this lone-wolf attack from an Islamofascist terrorist who was trying to make a statement and cause terror and chaos on New Year's Eve in the biggest city in the United States.I can't help but wonder. If the FBI were more focused on investigating and preventing real violent crime, real egregious crime in the United States and not being used for political persecution, like they are under the Biden administration – and probably were under the Obama administration quite honestly, then maybe this attack wouldn't have happened. Maybe they would have been paying enough attention to have circumvented this tragedy.The idea that the DoJ and the FBI have been politicized is completely anathema to what the United States Executive Branch is supposed to be.The Executive Branch is not supposed to have discretionary power to the level that it has today. It is supposed to execute well-written laws that Congress provides and the President signs into law. Right now we've got crap legislation coming out of Congress and they kick the can over to the Executive Branch to give the many departments and agencies regulatory power to literally create legislation. That's not the way it's supposed to work and you can thank Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, and let's throw in LBJ as well for this situation.Our Department of Justice and our FBI have to get back to investigating real crimes and dispensing color-blind, gender-blind, and non-partisan justice when it's called for. What's happened to the DoJ and the FBI is beyond a tragedy. We are seeing the seeds sowed for despotism if we allow it to go any further…Underground USA is a reader-supported publication.

Before we get to this morning's segment on TalkBack with Chuck Wilder where we discuss “The Government Cares About Your Health? Not By A Long Shot,” I want to take a second to talk about the referrals - the criminal charge referrals -  that were issued from the so-called January 6th committee to the Department of Justice regarding Donald Trump.We have to look at this in the beginning - and primarily - for the fact that this entire committee is a partisan hit job. If it weren't partisan it would have had the minority party's preferred representation instead of Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney, two people who do not represent the mainstream of the Republican caucus in the House. Or it would have been referred to an independent committee that was established using both the majority in the minority leaders to establish who was supposed to be in this independent of the House committee.So, right off the bat, this January 6th committee is illegitimate because of how it was constructed and with whom. That brings up an ethical issue.If anybody should be brought up on ethics investigations it should be Nancy Pelosi in her seating of this committee. It was unethical for her to hammer through the seating of this committee with people that don't represent the minority. This is because we have a Republic. We're not a mob-rule nation; we're not a democracy. We are a Republic, a representative government. People who voted for Donald Trump - or at least believed in his policies - were not represented on this committee so it's not representative. It's a travesty that it came from the House of Representatives.As far as the referrals are concerned, these referrals don't hold a lot of weight unless the Department of Justice wants to act on them. If the Department of Justice acts on them under Merrick Garland - taking action against an ex-president and somebody who's declared for the upcoming general election - there's no other way to look at it but it being a partisan attack.You can't use the government to go after your political opponents. That's what they do in Venezuela and Bolivia; in Third World despot nations. We are developing, quickly, into that with this executive branch government that's in place today.The Biden administration is a disgrace when it comes to standing up for the American system and form of government. They shit on it at every opportunity just so they can get their way politically.Politics is not government. Politics is the act of getting elected. We should be banning politics from the halls of government so that everybody is served equally. We don't do that today. As matter of fact, it's in reverse. It's all about politics and it's never about good government.With regard to Donald Trump. Is he a good orator? No, he's not. He's a very brash human being that is used to getting his way. But just because you don't like him doesn't mean you get to trample on his free speech rights. Even Presidents of the United States have free speech rights. If Trump wants to say that he believes that the election was stolen he gets to say that, on any platform anywhere in the public square.This is how I often thought about the Alex Jones subject. Do I believe what Alex Jones says about Sandy Hook? No, I don't. Does he have the right to say it? Yeah, he does. So, do neo-Nazis get to say what they believe? Yes, they do. We don't have to condone it. We don't have to accept it. We don't have to be in line with it. But we have to defend their right to free speech and right now we're not doing that in this country. Social media is absolutely - again - taking a shit on the First Amendment right to free speech because they don't feel that what is being said is appropriate or kind or politically correct or woke.This whole woke movement is a desecration of the rights that limit government and an aggressive attack on the fact that we live with these freedoms every single day, 24/7/365. It's the way we're supposed to live. The Bill of Rights is supposed to limit government from encroaching on our protected natural state. Our society is supposed to live with these freedoms as a constant. So, the January 6th committee…it's a joke and it would be laughable if it wasn't so serious; that it's at the highest levels of government; that they're playing political favorites opportunism rather than executing good government.Politics has become the cancer in the United States. it divides people. It divides neighborhoods. It divides families. It's divided the nation and it's time we heed the warning President Washington issued to us in his Farewell Address: Factions are a direct threat to the Republic.It's well past time that we devised a way to rein in the two-party cancerous monopoly from which our government suffers.Then, Chuck Wilder and I talk about another grotesque overreach by the federal government on Talkback…Cripple Censorship!

Before we get to this morning's segment on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, in which we discuss, at length, the featured article over at UndergroundUSA.com today titled, “The Government Cares About Your Health? Not By A Long Shot!” I want to comment on something that Matt and I touch on in the first segment which is this poll over at Twitter that Elon Musk put up saying, “Hey, if you don't want me to run Twitter go ahead and say yes or no and if if you don't want me to then I'll just I won't run it.”You need to think this through - and outside the box - so that you understand what Elon Musk has done here. Quite honestly it's brilliant.One, he's not going to sell the company even if he keeps his fidelity to his offer in that poll. He's not going to sell the company. He's just not going to be the person that runs it day-to-day. And people on the Left, be careful what you wish for because you don't know who he's going to put in the CEO position! You could be worse than what he's doing now, from your perspective.He's not leaving Twitter. Twitter is not going to be sold. The new rules aren't going to change. The fascist Left hates Elon Musk so much they kneejerked in their response to the poll which leads me to point number two.By responding to this poll, the data that he actually has access to will show him who the “bots” are. Remember, before he bought Twitter he said there were a lot more bots than real accounts and that he didn't think it was worth what he had to pay; that those bots have to go. Those bots give false readings when it comes to the popularity of posts.For example, take the imbecile Rob Reiner whose tweets are imbecilic and devoid of any flavor of reality. Frankly, it's just stunning that someone who has been so successful can be so incredibly stupid. If you go over to his Twitter feed I warn you, get a barf bag ready because the guy is off in Left field and his arrogance makes you want to vomit. But you will see the fake number of followers “Meathead” has.What Elon Musk did was to identify the bots for expungement. So he's crazy like a fox. He is not going anywhere. Twitter is not going anywhere. And the people who use bots that actually weight polls like this to a disingenuous end, well, they just stepped out into the light to be targeted.

Before I get into our discussion about, “Leftist Activists Prove Points After Being Attacked By Fringe Left Thugs,” I want to give a quick shout-out to the people listening in the countries where you're not supposed to be able to listen, if you get my drift. You're courageous in trying to seek out talk on freedom, liberty, and truth around the world. God bless you and stay safe.I also want to talk about the ability of the Republican Party on the federal level to shoot itself in the foot.As we're going forward toward the new Congress, Kevin McCarthy is having some issues with some people in his caucus about getting the required 218 votes to be Speaker of the House. We have some people on the far-Right side of the spectrum - who I support almost 99 percent of the time; I can't support them in this, throwing a wrench into the machine that opens the door for the opposition to neuter your potency going forward.There are several members of the Republican Party in the House of Representatives who are flat-out admitting they won't vote for Kevin McCarthy. McCarthy is not my first choice. I think he tends to be a little bit more liberal than I would care for, but he is a deal-maker and he is what's going forward in the upcoming Congress.We've already had a preliminary fight where US Rep. Biggs only gleaned 31 votes for Speaker. McCarthy took the overwhelming majority. So, the caucus has spoken and we should get behind that.But these five individuals, who will defy the caucus to say they won't vote for him in any scenario, are opening the door for Democrats and chameleons Republicans to install a Speaker who is going to neuter the agenda of dialing back Biden and the fascist-Left agenda…Subscribe Because Censorship Sucks!

Before I get into this morning segment with Matt Bruce, I want to touch on something that we discussed in one of the latter segments and that is a statement by future House Speaker McCarthy about starting the investigations into, I believe, 21 people who had something to do with Russiagate.Unless there's something that's going to come out of an investigation like this it's really just another opportunity to showboat.We need to expunge the political careerists at the Department of Justice and in the FBI because they've been politicized. Those departments are not supposed to be politicized. Justice is supposed to be blind. Justice and the pursuit of justice is supposed to not see political party. That's not the case today.Larger than that is the failure of the Republican Party – at State and National levels – to understand that you can't just keep demonizing your opposition and expect to win elections. You need to explain to the people what your policies are, how they will affect them in a positive way, and how you're going to go about establishing them so they could be executed.The last midterm election should have been proof positive that if all you're going to do is demonize the other party and make the contest a cult of personality you're going to lose.We've got two years to go before the General Election in 2024. The Republicans need to get their shit together and start talking about the policies that will serve the people and stop with the tit-for-tat investigations that will go absolutely nowhere...Cast Off The Censorship Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Before I get into how the DNC tossed two-time loser Stacey Abrams under the bus, this week, I need to address the horrific prisoner swap executed by the Biden administration.I've been writing and speaking a lot lately about culture and the culture wars in the United States and that's because our politics; our government stems from our culture. What our culture mandates is what we get. That's why the saying goes, “You get the government that you vote for.”Our government has exhibited an incredible contempt for Americanism in how they went about the release of Brittney Griner. They could have negotiated the release of Paul Whelan, who is incarcerated in Russia on espionage charges but who maintains his innocence.Griner knowingly went to Russia with things she knew she shouldn't have brought, admitted she was guilty, and was sentenced to prison. So, why does Griner's release mean more than securing the release of an ex-Marine who is charged with espionage but who maintains his innocence?It's because of the demographic. The Biden administration and the radical Left in the United States only sees skin color when it comes to anything. They saw a Black female and – automatically – she needs to be the priority, not the White male.We can't get past the era of racism – which really was put to bed during the 70s – if we don't stop looking at skin color in everything, and this is starting to be the case with gender, too. This dovetails into the piece that's the headline over at Underground USA today, “Leftist Activists Prove Points After Being Attacked By Fringe Left Thugs”.We all must engage in the culture wars because the government doesn't have a say over our culture, even though they're trying to right now. They're trying to socially engineer and that will affect culture and if they can get control of culture our nation is dead; then we live in a totalitarian country, and its on that path.The culture wars mean you don't shy away from talking to your neighbor, talking to your family, talking to your friends about current events and that includes politics, government, morality, and ethics. We need to start having conversations about this because right now we have a government that lacks morals in a great manner and has no ethic. They're willing to manipulate the truth to manipulate the people. That's our fault because we refuse to talk about politics and culture and ethics and morality with our family, friends, and neighbors.We've been told it's not polite to talk about politics but at this point, if you don't care about survival, maintain that attitude. it doesn't mean you have to get into an argument about it. It doesn't need to be that. You can have a civil discussion and you can agree to disagree but we need to get these issues out on the table because right now the federal government has changed our country, over the past 50 years and probably even more, to a centralized form of government which our Framers abhorred. They equated that with monarchy, tyranny, despotism, and totalitarianism.So as we go forward in this Christmas Season let's not only remember the reason for the season (it's not materialism) let's also engage in talking about our culture, civil, kindly, and wholeheartedly, with the people we love.

Recently I penned an article titled, Do We Really Understand The Meaning Of Freedom, in which I laid out several events - recent events - where government, bureaucracy, and special interests have successfully encroached on our freedoms.Like the frog in the pot that is finally coming to a boil, many Americans not only exist unaware of their dwindling freedom, but have embraced the re-definition of the word and the concept; the definition crafted by the fascist Left in our culture.The only way to reclaim our freedom - to rightfully reclaim our freedoms; our rights guaranteed in the Bill of Rights - is to re-establish the base definition of freedom in every sphere of our lives.We need to not only embrace the traditional definition of freedom, we need to start electing people to federal office who understand that their core jobs are not to "create laws"; to "legislate", but to represent their constituencies. In many cases, this means reining in government authority so as to protect the rights of the citizenry.Today, our elected class fails in that duty on every level and in all branches of government.I talk about this and more with Chuck Wilder on Talkback...Share this publication and podcast with those you know need to get it!

It can be successfully argued that a nation's people get the government they deserve for the simple fact that it is the people who vote, at least in republics and democracies. It is arguably true that this adage applies to the United States.Today, as We the People suffer under a fascist administration (by definition, this isn't name calling), we have to ask ourselves why the Midterm Elections were so close if the overwhelming majority of people indicated they believed the country to be headed in the wrong direction?The election should never been as close as it was, yet it was that close. Manipulated by the mainstream and social media, we allowed ourselves to be hoodwinked into believing the election was about a cult of personalities rather than it being a chance to right the direction of a ship far off course.With over fifty-percent of the students in institutions of higher learning believing - believing - that socialism and communism are equitable forms of government, we need to take a hard look at our culture: where we are as a people, what we value, and why we abdicate our responsibility to steward the culture to a better future rather than one the elite have managed to manipulate and divide...Cripple Censorship!

One would think that after losing high-profile elections twice in a row, Stacey Abrams - a two-time failed candidate - would go quietly into the mist, especially after claiming that the first election was stolen from her.Alas, that is not the case.Instead, she is petitioning President Biden to appoint her to a significant federal position and one that would affect not only the people of the State of Georgia, but those across the country.Why is it that when Progressives lose elections they believe the logical next step is to run for a higher office or demand more potent positions?...Circumvent the Censors!

Before we get to this morning's segment with Matt Bruce on The Captain's America” Third Watch – in which we discuss the snow in Buffalo and the response from New York State's governor-elect, Donald Trump, the Arizona election challenge and some changes coming to the US House of Representatives, I wanted to take a little bit of time to remind everybody to please travel safely this holiday week.When we look at the Wednesday before and the Friday after Thanksgiving we see really high travel days. They also correlate with a lot of tragedy that happens on the highways. I saw a lot of it during my days as a firefighter and paramedic and it is not the way to start the holiday season.So, please don't drive distracted. If you're driving, put your cell phone down, maybe even shut it off or at least put it on silent. Do not text and drive and please don't drink and drive. Do your best to think things through so that you can stick around to spend next year's holidays with your family...RELATED LINK(S):Sign-up for our mostly daily mail out here:https://www.undergroundusa.comSupport Underground USA (BTC)https://commerce.coinbase.com/checkout/7b2d8c35-55b9-49ed-9918-f7cc6f2a488dSupport Underground USA (USD)https://checkout.square.site/merchant/SW8KGEWAS2A22/checkout/SXG24XFCOWMROX3D5IN42TB2Convention of Stateshttp://ConventionOfStates.com/?ref=69171

Before we get to this episode of The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce, I'd like to say a couple words about rushing through life to dispense with Thanksgiving to get to the marketed holiday of Christmas.History has it that New England and Virginia colonists originally celebrated days of fasting as well as days of Thanksgiving, thanking God for blessings such as harvest, ship landings, and the end of droughts. These were observed through church services and then accompanied by feasts and communal gatherings afterwards.The event the Americans commonly called the first Thanksgiving was celebrated by the pilgrims after their first harvest in the New World in October of 1621. The feast lasted for three days and was attended not only by the colonists and the pilgrims but by Native Americans – in peace.Presidents from Washington to Jefferson to Lincoln to Grant all the way through Roosevelt issued proclamations for a day of Thanksgiving but it wasn't until 1942 onwards that Thanksgiving, by an act of Congress, receive the permanent observation date the fourth Thursday in November.Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday. It isn't observed in Europe. It isn't observed down in South America. It isn't observed in Asia. It's uniquely American. That's something we should be celebrating. And it also makes us think of something that's higher than ourselves; a higher power than ourselves. That we rush through Thanksgiving because Madison Avenue and the marketplace demands that we buy things for Christmas...we've really got to stop this.You think about it. If you ask anybody who is in there end of days; at the end of their life what they wish for they always say they wish they had a little bit more time with family, with friends, with people that they loved. That's what Thanksgiving is. It's a day to give thanks for what we have, who we have, who we are.But we want to rush through it so that we can make sure we buy everything, so that we can get to Christmas – which has completely lost its meeting. Christmas is about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ not about making sure you've got the next new Gadget and the things that Madison Avenue is pushing.So, please, before we go stampeding towards all of the Christmas stuff that comes, no doubt, the day after Thanksgiving; on Black Friday, let's take the time to celebrate Thanksgiving; give thanks for who we have, who are surrounded with, what we have.As much as people want to divide us and make us complain about the things we don't have – the media talks about all the bad things in the world, we still live in the greatest country on the face of the Earth. This is evidenced by the fact that everybody wants to come here. Not a lot of people are leaving. So, when you hear the caustic Left talking about how bad our country is, I don't think the people trying to wade across the Rio Grande think the same way they do so. Let's give thanks this coming Thursday and let's keep Thanksgiving something that is uniquely American; that gives us a sense of who we are.I talk about the political and international issues now with Matt Bruce on the Captain's America: Third Watch...RELATED LINK(S):https://www.undergroundusa.com/p/we-have-so-much-to-be-thankful-forSign-up for our mostly daily mail out here:https://www.undergroundusa.comSupport Underground USA (BTC)https://commerce.coinbase.com/checkout/7b2d8c35-55b9-49ed-9918-f7cc6f2a488dSupport Underground USA (USD)https://checkout.square.site/merchant/SW8KGEWAS2A22/checkout/SXG24XFCOWMROX3D5IN42TB2Convention of Stateshttp://ConventionOfStates.com/?ref=69171

Perhaps a closing thought on the Midterms – although I'm sure there's going to be much more to be said about them going forward. I find it disingenuous to believe that the vote-counting process in Arizona, California, and Nevada can't be refined to be more timely and with less hands on the ballots.We, in Florida, had two hurricanes go through the state both in the run-up to the midterms and then during voting and our results were in that day. There were no complaints and no claims of fraud. So it can be done if your election authorities want to do it. The question is: do the states that continually have problems really want to do it? It's a question we have to ask ourselves.I don't believe there's a smoky back room cabal that gets together and says we're going to do this in order to steal an election but making sure that you have a dysfunctional system and refusing to fix it, refusing to purge your rolls, refusing to make sure that the machines work without glitch before Election Day, those are all sins of omission.And in Arizona, I have to be honest, I am very troubled by that election all the way around. The fact that the winning gubernatorial candidate gets to certify herself as the winner and oversaw the election process – and that she refused to recuse herself, that's not ethical. And if she's not ethical going through the election she absolutely isn't going to be ethical in office.So, something's got to change in Arizona. The people of Arizona deserve better.I talk about this and more on Talkback with ChuckWilder...RELATED LINK(S):https://www.undergroundusa.com/p/actually-it-is-patriotic-to-questionSign-up for our mostly daily mail out here:https://www.undergroundusa.comSupport Underground USA (BTC)https://commerce.coinbase.com/checkout/7b2d8c35-55b9-49ed-9918-f7cc6f2a488dSupport Underground USA (USD)https://checkout.square.site/merchant/SW8KGEWAS2A22/checkout/SXG24XFCOWMROX3D5IN42TB2Convention of Stateshttp://ConventionOfStates.com/?ref=69171

I would like to make a little suggestion and that is this. Instead of allowing the mainstream media to project and tell us who's won before all the ballots are counted, maybe we just wait until the ballots are counted to decide who has won the election and who hasn't. The media doesn't decide elections. Voters do. This idea that we can say who has control of the Senate, who has control of the House when there are still 30 percent of the votes to be counted in places like Nevada, when they're still 10 percent of votes waiting to be counted in Arizona, when there's just 50 percent of the votes counted in a lot of the precincts in California, it seems that we are allowing propagandists - people who have lied to us about so many things in the past - undo power to tell us which way our elections are going to go and we're not relying on an accurate vote count or an accurate voting process.They didn't tell us the truth about COVID they didn't tell us the truth about the COVID vaccines, they didn't tell us the truth about Russian collusion, they propagandized against President Trump the entire time he was in office, they glorified Barack Obama even though he was probably the most racist president since Woodrow Wilson that we've ever had, so I don't know why we rely so much on the mainstream media to tell us how our elections are projected to turn out.Let's just wait until the ballots are counted.And on that note, why don't we make sure we perfect the process instead of expanding it so that we vote 30 days beforehand? People died for our right to vote; they sacrificed their lives on Battlefield so that we could continue to have the right to vote. It is reprehensible to think that it is something of inconvenience for you! Get your ass up and go vote, and you shouldn't need 30 days to do it. If you're not going to be here on Election Day, vote absentee and complete the affidavit to prove who you are!It's ridiculous how incredibly lazy we have become when it comes to voting. We should be ashamed of ourselves, especially when people in third world countries who have thrown the chains of despotism off will stand in lines for days to cast their ballots. How incredibly arrogant we've become that we can't get in the line and cast a ballot in the freest country on the face of the planet.I talk about this and more with Matt Bruce on The Captain's America: Third Watch...RELATED LINK(S):https://www.undergroundusa.com/p/voting-politics-and-the-cult-of-personalitySign-up for our mostly daily mail out here:https://www.undergroundusa.comSupport Underground USA (BTC)https://commerce.coinbase.com/checkout/7b2d8c35-55b9-49ed-9918-f7cc6f2a488dSupport Underground USA (USD)https://checkout.square.site/merchant/SW8KGEWAS2A22/checkout/SXG24XFCOWMROX3D5IN42TB2Convention of Stateshttp://ConventionOfStates.com/?ref=69171

I'd like to start out by saying happy Veterans Day to everyone who served, thank you for your service. And I want to make some comments about bravery, it doesn't always have to fall onto the shoulders of people who actually go into the battlefield or who are First Responders or are parents, quite honestly.We need to be brave enough to speak the truth - always, no matter how badly political factions or the media or social media interests want to bully us into remaining silent. I think we're seeing that in the issue that's facing our country - and especially the right side of the aisle - in Donald Trump.I appreciate what he did for the country for the four years that he was in office. He threw a wrench into the machine and it was badly needed. We needed to expose the game players in the Deep State, in the bureaucracy, in the go along to get along people on both sides of the aisle who just keep expanding government and encroaching on our freedoms. But he's starting to attack his own. He's breaking Reagan's Eleventh Commandment not to speak ill of fellow Republicans.The second that he took a shot at Ron DeSantis - who is the future of the Republican Party; the future of the conservative movement, he made an amazing mistake. He'll lose Florida if he decides to run, there's no question about that because Floridians - even Democrat Floridians - appreciate Governor DeSantis. But the politics of tearing everyone else down just so you can win is selfish politics and has been played for far too long, especially on the Left side of the aisle but now we're seeing it infect the Right side of the aisle.There's no room for selfish politics when the name of the game is public service; to serve the people; to serve the Constitution; to serve the country.Please take a look at the article that is the lead at UndergroundUSA.com today, “Red Wave! Red Wave!...Wait, Never Mind.” It explains where Donald Trump can actually make a positive effect in the upcoming election rather than becoming a detractor and someone who, actually, is a detriment to the conservative movement. That's the moment in time in which he stands.Is this going to be about revenge politics and his ego, or is it going to be for the good of the country? It's a serious question and we all have to be brave enough to not only answer the question but the contemplate it, examine it, and talk to her friends about it. Being bullied into silence isn't the American way.I then get into a discussion about all of this and the Midterm Elections with Matt Bruce on The Captain's America: Third Watch...RELATED LINK(S):https://www.undergroundusa.com/p/red-wave-red-wavewait-never-mindSign-up for our mostly daily mail out here:https://www.undergroundusa.comSupport Underground USA (BTC)https://commerce.coinbase.com/checkout/7b2d8c35-55b9-49ed-9918-f7cc6f2a488dSupport Underground USA (USD)https://checkout.square.site/merchant/SW8KGEWAS2A22/checkout/SXG24XFCOWMROX3D5IN42TB2Convention of Stateshttp://ConventionOfStates.com/?ref=69171

Today is Election Day 2022. The finish line is within sight so we need to expect the dirty tricks to be in full swing.In Arizona, New York, and Pennsylvania especially, true domestic terrorists are targeting our right to free and fair elections. In Arizona, terrorists have targeted Kari Lake's campaign, sending hoax-anthrax filled envelopes to their campaign offices. In New York, Democrats are fearmongering untruths about Social Security and the demise of Democracy.

Over my lifespan, I have witnessed a growing apathy when it comes to exercising our rights to vote. Too many people hold to the notion that one vote doesn't count. That is a ridiculous and clueless notion disproven by the many purple-fingered people of Iraq and Afghanistan who once held out hope for free and fair elections.Sadly, US and international politics betrayed those people, all of whom put their lives on the line to cast a ballot. In the end, brute force won out in Iraq and the Biden administration's betrayal of the Afghanis sealed their fate to the Taliban Islamofascists.So, too, are the status quo powers that be - in the mainstream and social media spheres as well as in the political parties - not only dividing us into election chattel, they are manipulating our perception of the potency of our right to vote.There is no wave - Red or Blue - unless you turn out to vote. Truthfully, your failure to vote spits on the dead who fought and died for your right to do so. Are we so self-absorbed and selfish that we now shrug our shoulders at the sacrifices of those who protected out right to vote?I discuss this, and more, with Matt Bruce on The Captain's America: Third Watch......RELATED LINK(S):https://www.undergroundusa.com/p/its-time-to-voteno-excuseshttps://www.undergroundusa.com/p/elections-cant-continue-being-aboutSign-up for our mostly daily mail out here:https://www.undergroundusa.comSupport Underground USA (BTC)https://commerce.coinbase.com/checkout/7b2d8c35-55b9-49ed-9918-f7cc6f2a488dSupport Underground USA (USD)https://checkout.square.site/merchant/SW8KGEWAS2A22/checkout/SXG24XFCOWMROX3D5IN42TB2Convention of Stateshttp://ConventionOfStates.com/?ref=69171

There is a lot of truth in the adage, “history repeats itself.” Even a pedestrian student of history understands that if we ignore the important moments of history – if we ignore the lessons of history, we both hobble ourselves to being able to capitalize on that history and doom ourselves to repeating the mistakes made in the past.The absolute need for all of us to rededicate ourselves to life-long learning – especially where US history is concerned – returned to me after searching for some quotes on freedom. During that search I was reintroduced to one of the best political speeches ever given by an American President.The speech is 20 minutes long and is sparsely peppered with political comments more suitable to the year it was delivered, 1964, but the subjects and issues Ronald Reagan made on that day are hauntingly familiar to the troubles our nation faces today.I talk to Chuck Wilder on Talkback about the speech, the Reagan Revolution, and a host of other issues...RELATED LINK(S):https://www.undergroundusa.com/p/missing-the-lessons-of-historySign-up for our mostly daily mail out here:https://www.undergroundusa.comSupport Underground USA (BTC)https://commerce.coinbase.com/checkout/7b2d8c35-55b9-49ed-9918-f7cc6f2a488dSupport Underground USA (USD)https://checkout.square.site/merchant/SW8KGEWAS2A22/checkout/SXG24XFCOWMROX3D5IN42TB2Convention of Stateshttp://ConventionOfStates.com/?ref=69171

We consistently fail to learn the lessons that an adequate knowledge of contemporary history affords.As the Biden administration - and even former-CIA director and Marine General David Petraeus - advance the war narrative where US troops engaging in Ukraine is concerned, we are failing to recognize that we have no dog in this fight.Further, we are failing to realize that the Biden administration is attempting to "wag the dog" in the run up to an election that should see them getting their asses handed them on a platter.Then, I talk about more buffoonery executed by the Biden administration on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce...RELATED LINK(S):https://www.undergroundusa.com/p/tempting-war-through-a-failure-tohttps://www.undergroundusa.com/p/missing-the-lessons-of-historySign-up for our mostly daily mail out here:https://www.undergroundusa.comSupport Underground USA (BTC)https://commerce.coinbase.com/checkout/7b2d8c35-55b9-49ed-9918-f7cc6f2a488dSupport Underground USA (USD)https://checkout.square.site/merchant/SW8KGEWAS2A22/checkout/SXG24XFCOWMROX3D5IN42TB2Convention of Stateshttp://ConventionOfStates.com/?ref=69171

For the record, I can take or leave Steve Bannon. When he came on the scene at Breitbart all those years ago after Andrew's death – at which time I was writing for the Big Government section there, the online publication moved away from one of its core missions: to educate on the issues. Instead, it took a more sensationalist tone.That said, I hold no animosity toward him, but that's not what this podcast is about. For me this is about the incredible double-standard being executed in our Executive and Judicial Branches and the fact that we – as a nation – seem to be okay with political persecution even when the First Amendment guarantees both Free Speech and the right to redress government.Then, I talk about more buffoonery executed by the Biden administration on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce...RELATED LINK(S):https://www.undergroundusa.com/p/the-united-states-dance-with-politicalhttps://www.undergroundusa.com/p/this-is-why-congress-has-lost-thehttps://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2022/10/21/steve-bannon-sentenced-to-4-months-in-prison-for-defying-house-jan-6-subpoena/Sign-up for our mostly daily mail out here:https://www.undergroundusa.comSupport Underground USA (BTC)https://commerce.coinbase.com/checkout/7b2d8c35-55b9-49ed-9918-f7cc6f2a488dSupport Underground USA (USD)https://checkout.square.site/merchant/SW8KGEWAS2A22/checkout/SXG24XFCOWMROX3D5IN42TB2Convention of Stateshttp://ConventionOfStates.com/?ref=69171

Last week, former US Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democrat from Hawaii, stunned her party by rejecting them, announcing that she had left the Democrat Party because of their intolerant and extremist ideology; an ideology centered in divisive racism and sexism, and which divided the country on a plethora of issues including economic class and religion.Her indictment was profound and accurate and deserves to be heard by everyone.Now I won't say that I agree with everything Gabbard has championed over the years, but I have a lot more in common with what people like Gabbard, Rand Paul, James Jordan, Ron Johnson, and many others who put the country before political parties have to say than we have in difference. This is what the Framers intended.I write at length about the juxtaposition between Gabbard's announcement and the latest propaganda video on January 6th issued by the Democrat Party, in “Has The Day Of Reckoning Come For The Fascist Progressives?” a read over at Underground USA dot com.

As conditions continue to devolve in Ukraine - and as Russian Vladimir Putin slowly positions himself to the Cat-Bird seat, the idea that all is not as it would seem comes into play.Recently, we had a former head of the Joint Chiefs opine that Putin was tantamount to a cornered animal. But is this really the case?As I see it, there's only one way that Mr. Putin really loses in the current scheme of things and that's if Ukraine flat-out defeats the Russian military on the battlefield. Even then, the prospects for future conflict between the two nations remains.No, with Russia, Communist China, Iran, and North Korea all presenting as simpatico, any bait that sucks the West into conflict would necessarily end disastrously for the West, even as it facilitates the rise of the World Economic Forum and Communist China as rulers of the New World Order.I talk about those issues and a lot more on The Captain's America: Third Watch with Matt Bruce...RELATED LINK(S):https://www.undergroundusa.com/p/biden-saber-rattling-defcon-2Sign-up for our mostly daily mail out here:https://www.undergroundusa.comSupport Underground USA (BTC)https://commerce.coinbase.com/checkout/7b2d8c35-55b9-49ed-9918-f7cc6f2a488dSupport Underground USA (USD)https://checkout.square.site/merchant/SW8KGEWAS2A22/checkout/SXG24XFCOWMROX3D5IN42TB2Convention of Stateshttp://ConventionOfStates.com/?ref=69171

In this two-part episode I tackle a few subjects because, as they say, when it rains it pours, and we just had one of the worst storms in American history.In the first segment Matt Bruce and I talk on The Captain's America: Third Watch about Hurricane Ian, the rescue efforts, and how some on both the Left and the Right are being absolutely ridiculous, if no heartless, in their need to opine on the matter. Sometimes it's just best not to politicize a subject.In the second segment I address a two ideological and political storm that we had better get handles on before they go too far. The disinformation game is a foot on both sides on two separate issues and we simply must turn back to truth, and not subjective truthI talk about those issues and a lot more on Talkback with Chuck Wilder...RELATED LINK(S):https://www.undergroundusa.com/p/the-storm-we-can-see-is-only-theSign-up for our mostly daily mail out here:https://www.undergroundusa.comSupport Underground USA (BTC)https://commerce.coinbase.com/checkout/7b2d8c35-55b9-49ed-9918-f7cc6f2a488dSupport Underground USA (USD)https://checkout.square.site/merchant/SW8KGEWAS2A22/checkout/SXG24XFCOWMROX3D5IN42TB2Convention of Stateshttp://ConventionOfStates.com/?ref=69171

The heavy-handed tactics of the Department of Justice and the FBI in using full-on, militaristic brut force against non-violent suspects in their raids has crossed the line from questionable to unacceptable. These are the tactics of the Castro's in Cuba, Xi in China, Maduro in Venezuela, and the Soviet eraIn Pennsylvania, a local pro-life activist - a Catholic author, radio host, and father of seven children under the ages of 13 - had the FBI, guns drawn, raid his house to arrest him on a charge of obstructing access to an abortion clinic because he defended his 12 year old son from an abusive 72 year old male volunteer who was verbally abusing his son sexually. He faces 11 years in prison if convicted on a crime local authorities refused to prosecute.It is worth noting that no one - not one person - from Ghislaine Maxwell's Epstein pedophile list has been treated in such a manner. In fact, the government is uninterested in exposing those who engaged in those real crimes. They'd rather persecute pro-life activists to further their agenda; an agenda that seeks to establish the government as the all-powerful bestower of rights.I talk about this and a lot more on Talkback with Chuck Wilder...RELATED LINK(S):https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/sep/25/pro-life-activist-arrested-during-fbi-raid-pennsyl/Sign-up for our mostly daily mail out here:https://www.undergroundusa.comSupport Underground USA (BTC)https://commerce.coinbase.com/checkout/7b2d8c35-55b9-49ed-9918-f7cc6f2a488dSupport Underground USA (USD)https://checkout.square.site/merchant/SW8KGEWAS2A22/checkout/SXG24XFCOWMROX3D5IN42TB2Convention of Stateshttp://ConventionOfStates.com/?ref=69171

If you live in Florida or on the Southern or Southeastern coasts of the United Sate long enough you are going to be in the crosshairs of a hurricane or tropical storm. Those living on Florida's west coast up into the Big Bend east of Tallahassee are about to feel that pain with the arrival of Hurricane Ian, the first significant storm of this late hurricane season (sorry global warming people).If you are in the cone of uncertainty, you should be preparing to either hunker down for a few days without water or power, or packing to leave to the east-southeast. A good resource to consult on this is the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration's National Hurricane Preparedness page at www.noaa.gov/hurricane-prep. It is linked in the episode notes.If you feel that your dwelling may be damaged through this storm, play it safe and pack a go bag and get out of the path of this monster storm.

Vice President Kamala Harris' insistence that the southern border of the United States is secure is a statement fully encamped in the realm of the absurd. And now that some of the more traditionally far-Left bastions are experiencing the many negative effects of illegal immigration – courtesy of some brave governors, the hypocrisy of their “sanctuary lie” is laid bare for all to see.The question that must be asked – in tandem with and in addition to the immigration subject, and a point that needs to be openly, honestly, and truthfully discussed prior to the 2022 Midterm and 2024 General elections is this.

For years - years - I have been telling you how the dark money, special interest, elites have been manipulating the information presented to you to consume. I have talked about David Brock and Media Matters and how the mainstream media complex is bought and paid for by the radical Left. Now comes the Good Information Foundation.A whistleblower from the Left side of the aisle has bravely come forward to out the Good Information Foundation as an entity that pays social media influencers to create and advance false-flag content to manipulate the way you see certain situations directly related to election year political issues.

Now that the potential rail strike has been averted, it would seem a perfect time to address the ongoing supply chain issues that the Biden administration has perfectly ignored. The fact that the US Transportation Secretary wasn't even involved in the railway contract negotiations examples how thoroughly inept and dysfunctional this administration is.Which leads to an even more base point. Why has it become common place for the federal government to involve itself so intimately with the inner-workings the private sector? Granted the US government subsidizes the bulk of the rail industry and needed to in its nascent days, but why does it continue to do so?Why is the federal government involved in the finances of the private sector at all?I talk about this and more with Matt Bruce on The Captain's America: Third Watch...RELATED LINK(S):https://www.undergroundusa.com/p/bidens-lame-victory-lap-and-why-governmentSign-up for our mostly daily mail out here:https://www.undergroundusa.comSupport Underground USA (BTC)https://commerce.coinbase.com/checkout/7b2d8c35-55b9-49ed-9918-f7cc6f2a488dSupport Underground USA (USD)https://checkout.square.site/merchant/SW8KGEWAS2A22/checkout/SXG24XFCOWMROX3D5IN42TB2Convention of Stateshttp://ConventionOfStates.com/?ref=69171

It remains unclear as to whether the remembrances offered up by the mainstream media complex and the inside-the-beltway crowd were sincere, obligatory, or opportunistic, but one thing is for sure, there was a lot left unmentioned in their memorials.Where was the mention of the First Responders who survived the attacks only to die later from health complications contracted on the pile at Ground Zero? Where was any mention of the 9/11 anniversary attacks in Benghazi when then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton abandoned US assets to die at the hands of ISIS even after they pled for help? Where was the mention of how the Biden administration gifted Islamofascist terror groups Afghanistan to use - again - as a training ground for future attacks against the US and the West?I talk about this and more with Matt Bruce from The Captain's America: Third Watch and Chuck Wilder from Talkback in this two-part segment...RELATED LINK(S):https://www.undergroundusa.com/p/september-11th-21-years-onSign-up for our mostly daily mail out here:https://www.undergroundusa.comSupport Underground USA (BTC)https://commerce.coinbase.com/checkout/7b2d8c35-55b9-49ed-9918-f7cc6f2a488dSupport Underground USA (USD)https://checkout.square.site/merchant/SW8KGEWAS2A22/checkout/SXG24XFCOWMROX3D5IN42TB2Convention of Stateshttp://ConventionOfStates.com/?ref=69171

Every year I dedicate myself to keeping the flame of remembrance alive for those who lost their lives in the Islamofascist attacks on our nation on September 11th, 2001. For those of us who lived through that day, the images, the sounds, and for those who had boots on the ground – both civilian and first responder alike, the smells are forever etched into our memories for all eternity.I remember exactly where I was and what I was thinking as I saw the smoke billowing out of Tower Two of the World Trade Center on that day. It was a surreal moment, a moment of the unthinkable. As a former professional firefighter and paramedic, my immediate thoughts were centered on the tasks the first responders had before them in trying to both save lives and battle the fire.Then I watched live as the second plane hit Tower One and I knew we were under some kind of attack. Everyone did.

The Biden administration and its handlers (or should I say the fascist cabal that is now in control in Washington, DC), has telegraphed its playbook. Their strategy for the midterms and 2024 are to run against Donald Trump again, regardless of whether he chooses to run or not.We have heard it said with a full throat from several mouths on the radical Left. They want to run against the idea of a radical MAGA Republican Right. As usual, the fascists of the Left are transferring their evil-doings onto their opponents. When Biden screeches about how the MAGA Republicans desecrate the Constitution and support lawlessness, how they want to steal elections and disenfranchise voters, it is exactly what they, themselves, are doing.Fascist Democrats love to redefine words and phrases and re-coin the meanings on their opponents' mantras. It is for this reason that we must disarm them of their most potent weapon. We must pivot away from the bumpersticker slogans and the mantras; the Fifth Avenue marketing that is so old Wilson was in diapers when it was first presented. The next election must be about policy and the naming of names of those puppet masters behind the scenes; the cabal that is Obama 2.0...RELATED LINK(S):https://www.undergroundusa.com/p/the-speech-backdrop-that-sets-theSign-up for our mostly daily mail out here:https://www.undergroundusa.comSupport Underground USA (BTC)https://commerce.coinbase.com/checkout/7b2d8c35-55b9-49ed-9918-f7cc6f2a488dSupport Underground USA (USD)https://checkout.square.site/merchant/SW8KGEWAS2A22/checkout/SXG24XFCOWMROX3D5IN42TB2Convention of Stateshttp://ConventionOfStates.com/?ref=69171

In the wake of President Biden's insanely coercive and authoritarian speech that sought to further cement the divide in our country as we approach the Midterm Elections, we see that the puppet masters of the Left - Obama 2.0 - are telegraphing their playbook; their intentions. Their plan is to make the Midterms and the 2024 election a rerun of "Orange Man Bad," doing so by inflaming the divide that started with Obama 1.0.But we don't have to be sucked into playing their game. In fact, if we exclusively focus our messaging on the policies the Biden administration has dismantled - policies that nurtured a thriving economy, that saw low unemployment, that saw our 401Ks and small businesses healthy and expanding, that saw prosperity for all; for every demographic, and that produced a stronger United States in the eyes of the world - if we focus the message on the policies Biden dismantled, that red wave could actually appear.This, why smart thermostats should be ripped from your walls and how beer companies can help the people of Jackson Mississippi during their water crisis, and a few other things in this episode...RELATED LINK(S):https://www.undergroundusa.com/publish/post/71563007Sign-up for our mostly daily mail out here:https://www.undergroundusa.comSupport Underground USA (BTC)https://commerce.coinbase.com/checkout/7b2d8c35-55b9-49ed-9918-f7cc6f2a488dSupport Underground USA (USD)https://checkout.square.site/merchant/SW8KGEWAS2A22/checkout/SXG24XFCOWMROX3D5IN42TB2Convention of Stateshttp://ConventionOfStates.com/?ref=69171

The turn of the 20th Century introduced fascism to the United States. Under Woodrow Wilson - and continuing under Franklin Roosevelt, the system of government the Framers created ceased to exist because a fundamental protection for the states was removed in the passage of the 17th Amendment.Today that deviation from the Framers' gift to us has led us to a point in time where Executive Branch agencies, departments, and commissions - like the CDC, EPA, IRS, and SEC - apply unlegislated regulatory authority onto the people; regulatory authority not acceded to by the people. But what can be done to correct the course, to marginalize the totalitarianism of the progressive (read: fascist) movement in our country?...RELATED LINK(S):https://www.undergroundusa.com/p/what-has-progressed-under-progressivismSign-up for our mostly daily mail out here:https://www.undergroundusa.comSupport Underground USA (BTC)https://commerce.coinbase.com/checkout/7b2d8c35-55b9-49ed-9918-f7cc6f2a488dSupport Underground USA (USD)https://checkout.square.site/merchant/SW8KGEWAS2A22/checkout/SXG24XFCOWMROX3D5IN42TB2Convention of Stateshttp://ConventionOfStates.com/?ref=69171

The Midterm Elections are just months away and the radical Left, the Biden administration, its Obama 2.0 masters, and the mainstream media want to make the election a rehash of the anti-Trump campaign they executed successfully in 2020. The task at hand is capturing the narrative and making the election about policies rather than the cult of personalities.In the second half of the segment, I guest on the Truth to Ponder program with Bob Bierman, a broadcast beamed around the world on short-wave and through online and terrestrial channels.

As we prepare for the onslaught of propaganda that is coming our way (from both sides) during the lead-up to the Midterm Elections, we all need to take a step back from the preferred narratives being foisted upon us by the political Left and mainstream media and ask ourselves one question. What has “progressed” under the “progressive” movement?Keep in mind that the “progressive” movement is a political movement; an ideological movement, that has very little – if anything – to do with the actual progress our society has made over the last 120 years. In fact, the innovations made from the early 20th Century on – the nascent years of the American progressive political movement – were achieved despite the emergence of Progressivism....RELATED LINK(S):https://www.undergroundusa.com/p/what-has-progressed-under-progressivismSign-up for our mostly daily mail out here:https://www.undergroundusa.comSupport Underground USA (BTC)https://commerce.coinbase.com/checkout/7b2d8c35-55b9-49ed-9918-f7cc6f2a488dSupport Underground USA (USD)https://checkout.square.site/merchant/SW8KGEWAS2A22/checkout/SXG24XFCOWMROX3D5IN42TB2Convention of Stateshttp://ConventionOfStates.com/?ref=69171

Well, it appears US Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), has unleashed the purse strings of his Senate PAC, and now everyone who dared to take issue with the Deep State bureaucratic establishment has to watch his or her tongue.Why?

It is astounding why a rising star amongst the political Right at the national level - a woman with name recognition, a legacy, and a solid base - would attach her entire political career on attempting to settle some kind of score against Donald Trump. But Liz Cheney did and now her career is in ashes.Then, as she was standing in the middle of the burnt-out shell of her political career, she tripled down by attempting to conjure thoughts of Abraham Lincoln while floating the idea of a Chenery for President campaign in 2024.We're not sure what she's smoking to think this idea is plausible, but one thing is for sure.

In the days after the questionably legal FBI raid on Donald Trump's Mar-A-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida - and after a crazed gunman committed suicide by cop at an FBI office in Ohio, The US Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security issued a joint BOLO stating that they are aware of threatening language being used against federal law enforcement.This BOLO should be considered a direct threat to free speech rights and the peoples' right to redress their government as mandated in the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights.So, a question must be asked.

It was very public; vert overt. Pro-administration agents swooped in, searched, and detained prominent members of the opposition – politicians and society leaders – on questionable charges of “subversion” in the hope of eliminating competition in the upcoming elections. Of course, I am speaking of Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega.I suppose I could excuse your confusing that opening paragraph with the events surrounding the banana-republic-styled raid on former-President Donald Trump's home in Palm Beach, Florida.

Perhaps one of the biggest deceptions ever foisted on the American people emanates not from a Barnum sideshow or Ripley's Believe It Or Not exhibit, but one that emanates from the halls of government and at every level. Regardless of whether it is at the local, county, state, or federal level, the charlatans of politics have convinced the American people that politics is government.It is not. Politics is the “art” of getting elected. Government is the execution of serving the people. And while there exists the “politics of government,” that denomination of politics has more to do with the realm of human resources and patronage than any political party.And when politics is government the only people, the only factions being served are the politicians, the elected class, and their crony benefactors...RELATED LINK(S):https://www.undergroundusa.com/p/theres-a-sucker-born-every-minuteSign-up for our mostly daily mail out here:https://www.undergroundusa.comSupport Underground USA (BTC)https://commerce.coinbase.com/checkout/7b2d8c35-55b9-49ed-9918-f7cc6f2a488dSupport Underground USA (USD)https://checkout.square.site/merchant/SW8KGEWAS2A22/checkout/SXG24XFCOWMROX3D5IN42TB2Convention of Stateshttp://ConventionOfStates.com/?ref=69171
