Caesr and his monopoly game
America is more unequal than it has been in a century. The richest 0.1 percent of American families own as much wealth as the lower 90 percent of all American families combined. Between 1979 and 2007, the richest one percent took in 53.9 percent of all income growth. And wealth inequality grew even more dramati c in the wake of the great recession. The richest 7 percent expanded their average neat worth by more than 25 percent between 2009 and 2011, and whites claimed an even larger proportion of American wealth relative to Blacks and Hispanics. Americans have responded wit... read more

Bloody 2022-2023
I am amazed at the deer-in-the-headlights trance that so many people are in these days. It's very revealing, it really is, both of their low intelligence level and their soul discernment, assuming that they still have souls, recognizing that many of them may have effectively sold their souls long ago for a bowl of porridge, or 30 shekels of silver, just to feel like they were part of something important and were getting ahead in their profession. You know, the little-big man syndrome that leads first to selling out, and then eventually ending up in a spiritual, No Man's wasteland, w... read more

Covid Vaccines Are Losing Significantly Their Effectiveness With Time
*L.A. Times: **Study shows dramatic decline in effectiveness of all three COVID-19 vaccines over time* As the Delta variant became the dominant strain of the coronavirus across the United States, all three COVID-19 vaccines available to Americans lost some of their protective power, with vaccine efficacy among a large group of veterans dropping between 35% and 85%, according to a new study. Researchers who scoured the records of nearly 800,000 U.S. veterans found that in early March, just as the Delta variant was gaining a toehold across American communities, the three vaccines ... read more

Alec Baldwin's accidental murder
There has been a lot more talk about the accidental discharge on the movie set of Rust where Alec Baldwin fatally shot a cinematographer. Rebel News recently posted an interview with a gun specialist with movie experience and so did Real America with Dan Ball. Rebel News explained the difference between a dummy round and a blank.

A Note About Modern Fascism
Traditional Fascism was defined as an authoritarian government working hand-in-glove with corporations to achieve totalitarian objectives. A centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, using severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition. That governmental system didn’t work in the long-term because the underlying principles driving free people rejected government authoritarianism. Fascist […] The post A Note About Modern Fascism appeared first on The Last Refuge. read more

President Biden at the Pentagon *Paul Ryder, Counter Punch:* *Biden Defied the Military Establishment: Is the Kennedy-Nixon Rule Still in Effect?* In a 2020 essay, “Removing a president without an election,” I described attempts to remove five presidents in the middle of a term: Franklin Roosevelt, John Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump.

Lets go Brandon
Since this is going viral, I will comment on it. A new American tradition is for fans at stadiums to chant F*ck Joe Bidden. When the NASCAR fans did it in the interview after Brandon Brown won his first Nasar race the newscaster was a bit embarrassed and said the crowd was chanting Let's Go Brandon when in reality they were all chanting F*ck Joe Biden. So now everyone chants Let's Go Brandon which means F*ck Joe Biden. Just sayn. Tick tock. Pride cometh before the fall so it does. In Canada we need a meme for F*ck Justin Trudeau.

Branding them "unconservative", he goes on, "This government has done a number of things that have concerned me deeply: they have broken the law, the prorogation of Parliament. They have broken treaties, I have in mind the Northern Ireland Protocol. They have broken their word on many occasions."

The hidden cost of Biden's spending spree
Washington Examiner: Sen. Joe Manchin drew the ire of fellow Democrats on Nov. 1 by raining on President Joe Biden's big government parade. As Biden and leaders in Congress attempted to hammer out a deal on his so-called "human infrastructure" bill, Manchin's vote was key to everything. Democrats have only 50 senators, and they need every one to support this legislation if it is to pass. So it was a moment of bitter disappointment when Manchin disparaged it, dashing all hopes that it would go through.
