Why Not Abolish All Foreign Aid? – LewRockwell
By Jacob G. Hornberger

*** begin quote ***

Here is the alternative: Abolish all foreign aid to every regime, including the Israeli government. Moreover, abolish the taxes that fund foreign aid. Then leave Americans free to donate their money to Israel or anyone else in the world.

Wouldn’t that be a more just system? Wouldn’t that system be more consistent with the principles of individual liberty, personal responsibility, and voluntary charity? Don’t care and compassion come only from the willing heart of the individual and not from than the coercive apparatus of the tax system, the brutal and tyrannical agency that enforces it, and the federal agency that distributes the loot?

Ron Paul says to cut foreign aid to all countries, even to Israel, because it essentially takes money from the poor in the U.S. and is given to the rich in poor countries.

I remember post WW2 when real people sent CARE packages to war torn Europe.

Let “real people” contribute “foreign aid” when they see fit in ways they see fit.  I like “DONOR SEE” for the way real people can help real people without force or fraud.

OxFam and other such charities are good ways to do it.

Just nothing with the Gooferment, the UN, or other NGO’s .

California mocked over $11 billion high-speed rail bridge to nowhere that took 9 years to build

California is taking of heat for celebrating the completion of an high-speed rail bridge that has cost taxpayers $11 billion and took nine years to build — and clearly goes nowhere.

Critics — including Tesla founder Elon Musk and Dogecoin creator Billy Markus — are ripping the California High Speed Rail Authority after it boasted about last year’s completion of a “Fresno River Viaduct,” a mere sliver of the state’s long-delayed, bullet-train project attempting to link San Francisco to Los Angeles

“This is the most remarkable human achievement ever,” joked Markus, the creator of the jokey cryptocurrency, on X Friday.

If this wasn’t so sad and frustrating, then it might be funny ha ha.

Who’s brother-in-law got that contract?

If nothing else, the time value of money is ignored.  And, by the time something connects with it, it’s going to be obsolete or decayed.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Federeal Law prempts State Law and parental rights?

 
NC Court Rules Federal PREP Act Protects Forced Vaccination Without Parental Consent
by Carolyn Hendler, JD
Published April 8, 2024 
 
*** begin quote ***
 
A North Carolina Court of Appeals found that a clinic, where personnel gave a 14-year-old boy a COVID-19 shot without his consent or parental consent, was protected by the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act). The court concluded that the Guilford Board of Education, which hosted the clinic, was also covered by the PREP Act.1
 
Despite calling the act of forcing a child to get a COVID-19 shot against his will and without his parent’s consent, “egregious,” the court unanimously concluded that the PREP Act preempted state law and protected the defendants from being held liable for battery, violation of Tanner’s mother’s constitutional liberty and parental rights, and violation of Tanner’s bodily autonomy and plaintiffs’ federal constitutional rights.2
 
The minor child, Tanner Smith, attended Western Guilford High School in Greensboro, North Carolina when the school district sent a letter to his parents stating that Tanner was one of the students who may have been exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus and that, unless he got tested, he would not be able to “return to football practice until cleared by a public health professional.” The letter set forth that one of the local schools would be hosting a free clinic offering testing the following day. The letter explained that, “consent for testing is required.”3 4
 
The following day, Tanner’s step-father took him to the clinic at the local school for the free testing so that Tanner could return to football practice. The school district failed to inform the parents that a there was also a free vaccination clinic along with the free testing at the school that same day. While Tanner’s step-father waited in the car, Tanner filled out a form that he believed was for the free testing needed to return to football practice. At that time, one of the clinic workers attempted to reach out to Tanner’s mother but she was not available. Tanner’s step-father who was waiting outside the clinic was not called.5

​I’d be more than <past tense synonym for urine output> off if it was my child.

NYC’s Upper West Side already becoming commuter parking lot for congestion-pricing evaders
By Chris Harris

The Upper West Side is about to become a commuter parking lot.

Already notorious for its scarcity of spaces, the parking situation on the UWS has reached new lows of desperation ahead of the mid-June implementation of the Big Apple’s much-maligned, five-years-in-the-making congestion parking plan, which the MTA’s board authorized last month.

“The situation up here is untenable,” said longtime West 79th Street resident Renee Baruch, who’s noticed a steady uptick since January in the number of cars with out-of-state plates circling her block each morning.

“They’re on Riverside Drive, on side streets, with plates from all over, and you’re seeing the same ones every day,” explained Baruch, part of a consortium of Manhattanites that continues to push pols for a parking permitting system.

Eye on Albany: 1199SEIU’s Money Grab

A review of health-care union 1199SEIU’s disclosures this last decade reveals that “a quarter-billion dollars in Medicaid funds earmarked to improve nursing home care have instead flowed to a pair of benefit funds providing health coverage for 1199 members,” grumbles the Empire Center’s Bill Hammond. And some of that cash was diverted to a union project “sponsoring a multi-million-dollar TV ad campaign in support of higher Medicaid funding for hospitals.” That is: “Medicaid dollars have indirectly financed lobbying for more Medicaid dollars.” Meanwhile, the union’s National Benefit Fund, which had “a pattern of negative cash flow” from 2018 to 2020, restored “fiscal balance by increasing the contribution rates from its member employers — and by securing continued subsidies from the state.”

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: CDC releases data and it’s stunning commnets

https://kirschsubstack.com/p/cdc-releases-v-safe-free-text-data?publication_id=548354&post_id=141814150&isFreemail=true&r=onvra

CDC releases V-safe free-text data because they want everyone to know just how unsafe the COVID vaccine really is

  • Now, you can download the data and see for yourself what people reported.

Steve Kirsch

*** begin quote ***

Executive summary

The CDC has released the first drop of the V-safe free-text comments so everyone can see for themselves that the COVID vaccine has extremely serious safety problems.

There are nearly 400,000 comments in this release.

The only question is: why did they wait so long to do this?

In my opinion, these “customer testimonials” are the single best selling tool they have to get people to take the COVID vaccine.

The CDC should be running TV and newspaper ads! Something like “Are you unsure whether the COVID vaccine is right for you? Here is what our satisfied users had to say about this amazing product that will change your life, sometimes forever!”

*** end quote ***

Reading some of the comments — and being attuned to some of the various disastrous deaths and cancers that might be in some way related — I’ll pass on this chemistry experiment while sticking with the old traditional definition of vaccine. As always, YMMV.

Remember “they” redefined  “vaccine” to include this new genetic engineering technology.  Forced as many as possible to take it with intimidation, threats, and coercion.  Ignored the concept of “informed consent” and “my body; my choice”.  Gave Big Pharma complete immunity from lawsuits.  And, ignored vaccine injuries, sudden cardiac deaths, flawed “trials” (i.e., remember eliminating control groups). 

Never mind the whole safe and effective “horse pill” that won a Nobel Prize for eliminating river blindness.

Then we have the small matter of the “emergency use” while having a licensed product.

Sorry, but do what you want, but “no thank you” for me.

12 new families file class action lawsuit against LVHN, doctor accused of false diagnoses
69 News, Rob Manch Feb 16, 2024 

*** begin quote ***

An Easton couple has filed the second civil complaint against Lehigh Valley Health Network and Dr. Debra Esernio-Jenssen, who has been accused of intentionally misdiagnosing children as victims of abuse from their parents. 

Esernio-Jenssen is accused of systematically overdiagnosing children with a rare condition called Munchausen syndrome by proxy, in which a child’s caretaker makes up fake symptoms to make the child appear sick. She is also accused of falsely accusing parents of child abuse — which has led to some parents losing custody of their children or serving prison time, the lawsuit alleges.

The lawsuit lists a total of 17 causes of action against Jenssen, LVHN and other defendants. Among these causes are corporate negligence, medical professional liability (multiple causes), interference with parental rights, fraud and invasion of privacy.

The FBI-Tainted Whitmer ‘Kidnap Plot’ You’ve Heard Next to Nothing About
By Julie Kelly, RealClearInvestigations
January 3, 2024

*** begin quote ***

In RealClearInvestigations, Julie Kelly reports how a much-hyped, supposedly white-supremacist “plot” to kidnap Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan has been exposed as more like a broad conspiracy by law enforcement to entrap Americans with unpopular political views.

Highlights:

  •     Details revealed during largely successful appeals by defendants – proceedings mostly ignored by national media – make the operation sound like something out of an over-the-top Hollywood script. 
  •     Public defenders have identified at least 12 FBI informants and three undercover FBI agents managed by numerous field offices.
  •     The plot line features secretive FBI cash payouts; drug parties; a wife-beating FBI investigator; a career felon turned bureau asset and later accused as a “double agent” – all wrapped up with a dramatic FBI takedown scene at the end.
  •     FBI informants met with their targets to brainstorm how to blow up a bridge outside Whitmer’s summer cottage; kill her security detail; take her to a nearby boat launch; and perhaps bring her across Lake Michigan to Wisconsin for a “citizen’s trial” over her COVID-19 lockdowns.
  •     The reported plot mastermind was not, as originally portrayed by prosecutors, a bigoted extremist, but a homeless man, dubbed “Captain Autism,” living in the dilapidated basement of a vacuum repair shop with no running water or toilet.
  •     A 2020 protest at the Michigan state Capitol in Lansing appeared to presage FBI tactics during the Jan. 6 Capitol siege, with similar optics. The head of the Detroit FBI field office was promoted to run the Washington, D.C., FBI field office three months before the protest — the episode three years ago today that lives on as a cudgel for President Biden and the left to attack Donald Trump.

*** and ***

Little more than two weeks later, on January 2nd, 2021, Secretary Raffensperger and members of his staff had a call with President Trump and members of his team. On that call, President Trump asked about inaccurate voter records. Both Secretary Raffensperger and General Counsel Ryan Germany stated that they had fully evaluated the various claims of election irregularities and said without qualification there was no evidence to support them, including no problems with the voting records. This statement was knowingly false. Both men were well-aware of that falsity at the time.

So, in addition to ignore their duty to clean the voter rolls, they lied to the sitting President.

Ghost car: Post catches serial scofflaw in the act of removing license plates to avoid tickets , tows
By Georgia Worrell, Matthew Sedacca, and Rich Calder
Published Dec. 23, 2023, 7:45 a.m. ET

*** begin quote ***

A rogue driver on the Upper East Side has found a loophole to get around parking tickets — removing his license plates. 

The Post witnessed a man in a blue Honda Odyssey park on East 85th Street between York and First Avenues, before yanking the Connecticut license plate off the back of the car and stashing it in a plastic bag.

The man then strutted into a nearby apartment building at 424 E. 85th Street, where he works as a super. 

Neighborhood residents say the slippery scofflaw had been pulling the same trick for months, to avoid being slapped with parking tickets and being towed. 

They said they called the cops multiple times on the serial parking abuser but officials said police are not able to tow vehicles that have no plates — so-called “ghost cars” — unless the city Sanitation Department first marks them for removal.

Here’s a novel idea: team a Policeman, Sanitation official, and a few tow trucks.  Sanitation tags the car, the Police ticket it, and the tow truck takes it away.  Ez Pee Zee.

Half of Buick Dealers Take Buyouts to Avoid Having to Sell GM’s Electric Cars
John Binder 20 Dec 2023

*** begin quote ***

Almost half of Buick dealers across the United States have opted to take buyouts from General Motors (GM) to avoid having to sell Electric Vehicles (EVs) at a time when consumer reports show Americans are increasingly turned off by the cars.

According to GM, almost 1,000 of its nearly 2,000 Buick dealerships across the U.S. chose to take buyouts from the parent company rather than investing potentially millions into retooling and prepping dealers to service and sell EVs.

The buyouts mean that GM will now have just about 1,000 Buick dealerships across the nation as the automaker moves forward with adhering to President Joe Biden’s green energy agenda.

“Unelected bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. should not be in charge of our children’s intellectual and moral development,” said Massie when he initially introduced the bill. “States and local communities are best positioned to shape curricula that meet the needs of their students.”

Massie is echoing sentiments expressed by President Ronald Reagan in 1981, who advocated dismantling the Department of Education even though it had just begun operating in 1980.

“By eliminating the Department of Education less than 2 years after it was created,” said Reagan, “we cannot only reduce the budget but ensure that local needs and preferences, rather than the wishes of Washington, determine the education of our children.”

I can’t think of a better way to start off the year than by nuking the Department of Education.  Maybe Energy too.

New Jersey Senate panel approves penalties for underage drinkers

A Senate panel approved a bill Thursday that would create new penalties for underage alcohol possession over the complaints of advocates who said the shift would send more young people into the criminal justice system.

The bill, approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee in a 9-2 vote, would subject individuals under the age of 21 found to possess alcohol to a $50 fine and a complaint summons, the equivalent of a disorderly persons offense.

Legislators who supported the bill said the change is needed to address parties in Jersey Shore towns that local officials have decried as chaotic and disruptive, and to provide some measure of enforcement for underage users who flout drinking laws.

Clearly, the USA needs to deport ALL illegals.  Convicted Felons and illegally reentering aliens should be priority one.  And FAST!

Arizona Election Lies Exposed Frank Speech Email The tide is shifting. This week we heard blockbuster oral arguments before the New Hampshire Supreme Court from Patriot Daniel Richard. Richard uncovered the dirty secrets behind Dominion Voting Systems and AccuVote tabulating systems being run by LHS Associates. In fact the election machines are so bad that even the president of LHS Associates admitted the AccuVote operating system is still running on Windows XP–a system not supported in decades! And the media continues to tell me that election machines cannot be hacked???!!! Windows XP, seriously? This case may end up BLOWING UP…

Nolte: Democrats Will Clean San Francisco for Dictators but Not Voters
John Nolte — 13 Nov 2023

It took a Chinese dictator to get the city of San Francisco, California, cleaned up after five years of deterioration.

The Democrats who run San Francisco and California finally, Finally, FINALLY cleaned up that city’s filthy streets and removed the dystopian homeless encampments. At long last, San Francisco has been beautified in a dozen ways.

Yes, after some five years of increasingly dangerous streets littered with dirty needles, feces, trash, and filthy tents, not to mention aggressive vagrants, drug dealers, the deranged and addicted, the city took action.

So I guess it’s not about “rights” or anything else than politics.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: How about the sneakiness of the Gooferment with our “money”

FROM NEXTDOOR

The sneakiness of manufacturers! 

One has to be so aware of how manufacturers dupe their customers. 

We have been a big fan of Chock Full O’Nuts Coffee for many years. Always liked to wait for when the coffee went on sale for $1.99 per can. The new sale price at ShopRite reducing it from $5.69 a can is now $2.99. We put the coffee in a canister instead of using it out of the can. Suddenly the canister did not get filled. Apparently the amount of coffee that is now in the can is 10.3 ounces instead of 13 ounces! So now the sales price went up 50% and the quantity of coffee went down over 20%. 

I have found that manufacturers slip in a new reduced package size when they put the item on sale and customers don’t pay attention to the quantity. 

This is not unique to this company but seems to be practiced widely. It is always buyer beware.

Let’s not ignore the Gooferment’s role in all of this.

It has inflated the number of dollars in circulation by several trillion.  

Don’t you think that has some role in all this?

See my blog rants about penny candy, nickel cigars, and dime comics!

Shrinkflation is the manufactures’ response to a dollar devaluation.

“Dollar stores” are proliferating because that’s what people can afford.  

I can’t imagine shopping for food in a dollar store, but I think we are going to see more of this.  Not less.

Time to vote the clowns out and just resist.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Is destruction of a dangerous dog in the dog’s interest?

The county code allows destruction of a dangerous dog under specific circumstances. It allows destruction when an owner does not redeem an impounded dog within 96 hours. And it allows immediate destruction when “a dog is suffering from a serious injury or disease, and destroying the dog is in the interest of public health and safety, or in the interest of the dog.” The code does not authorize destroying a dog in any other instance….

*** end quote ***

I found this “in the interest of the dog” amusing.  How is killing the dog in “its interest”?

Argh!
