Daily Broadside | Now Do You Believe Me? Biden Nominates Soviet-Educated Commie to Run Nation’s Banking System.

Daily Verse | Zechariah 7:9-10
“This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the alien or the poor. In your hearts do not think evil of each other.'”

Happy Friday and welcome to the first day of October. I work so that my cats can have a better life.

Yesterday I wrote about Australia and how their crazy is straining to come here. Well, here’s a new video putting the rhetoric and the reality into perspective for you.

It sounds like our own political class, no? Just a little reinforcement of yesterday’s commentary, although that’s not what I want to focus on this morning.

You want to know how bat-guano crazy our Dear Leader is? He and his ilk seem hell-bent on destroying this country as founded, mostly by turning it into some kind of pinko commie dictatorship, a la the Soviet Union. You know how I know (besides the literal socialists and commies in the administration and in the Democrat party)? Here’s how I know:

Terrifying: Biden Is Nominating Soviet-Trained Radicals Now

Not kidding. Resident Sugar Cone has nominated a woman who was literally educated at “the Soviet Union’s Moscow State University in 1989 on the Lenin Personal Academic Scholarship,” according to Stephen Green’s article.

Omarova graduated from the Soviet Union’s Moscow State University in 1989 on the Lenin Personal Academic Scholarship, according to the Wall Street Journal. As recently as 2019, she was still praising the USSR’s economic system as in some ways superior to our own. “Say what you will about old USSR, there was no gender pay gap there. Market doesn’t always ‘know best.’”

What is it with these free radicals that can’t help gushing about how awesome some failed communist state was back in the day? Fortunately, Green knows more than I do about the glorious Soviet economy and torpedoes Omarova’s rosy recollections.

As a matter of fact, I will say what I will about the old USSR.

Teachers there were paid the same as doctors — because medicine was considered “women’s work” and both were paid crap numbers of worthless rubles. Sexism and central mismanagement, all in one murderously totalitarian package.

There’s a reason the USSR is defunct and the U.S. isn’t — at least until Omarova gets her way.

But does Omarova let some pesky facts stand in the way of her nutty ideas? Nah.

Omarova’s goal is the eventual elimination of private banking and the establishment of the Federal Reserve as the nation’s only bank.

In her own words:

“The core idea here is simply to allow all U.S. citizens and lawful residents, local governments, non-banking firms and non-business entities to open transactional accounts directly with the Federal Reserve, thus bypassing private depository institutions,” she wrote. “In this sense, it is a variation on the familiar FedAccounts — or FedCoin, ‘digital dollar wallets,’ etc. — theme. In principle, FedAccounts can be made available as an alternative to bank deposit accounts, upon a person’s request.”

Gosh, why haven’t we tried this before? What could possibly go wrong with digitizing your wealth and handing it over to a centralized, government controlled agency?

Nominating Omarova to serve as Comptroller of the Currency, as Biden has done, is worse than putting the inmates in charge of the asylum. It’s more like putting a convicted arsonist in charge of the Forest Service.

Here’s the takeaway from this: we have enemies of freedom in the White House, in Congress and in the judiciary. I’m not talking about some fringe wackos who are tolerated with good humor by American society. I’m talking about dyed-in-the-wool pinko commies who, at best dislike, and at worst hate the American social contract of freedom and personal initiative that was founded by white European males, creating the most free and powerful country the world has ever known.

We need more men who are willing to say what Joe Rogan says in a recent video — and then fight to preserve our nation (language warning).

“Up until 1776, every f***ing country that has ever existed was run by dictators. All of them. This is the first experiment in self-government that actually worked, and it created the greatest superpower the world has ever known.”

We are literally at the mercy of a bunch of full-on dictator wannabes. Now that they’ve had a taste of the power that comes with the authority and tools of government and business, they won’t give it up, just like Rogan says. Do I need to remind you of the lawlessness that we’ve witnessed over the last five years, much less over the last 18 months?

It’s hard to realize, but we are in an existential fight for the survival of America as we’ve known it. I honestly don’t know if we can last until 2024. The midterms in 2022 might give us a reprieve, but we really can’t count on anything right now.

I commiserated with a friend the other day that our kids will never know the America he and I grew up in. Yes, times change, but this is a radical and forced departure from what American society was. And it was destroyed by the Democrats, with the willing support of progressives and the media — and spineless Republicans who aren’t really conservatives.

The only thing that keeps me going is my hope in Jesus Christ.

Have a good weekend.

Daily Broadside | Australia Goes Full Tyrannical. Can the U.S. Be Far Behind?

Daily Verse | Haggai 1:5
This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways.”

It’s Thursday and the last day of September 2021. What does it mean when you dream of waterskiing across a desert of wood?

Does it or does it not feel like the wheels have come off not only here in the U.S., but increasingly, around the world? It’s like the whole world has gone mad all at once, while we deplorables (aka. normal citizens) look around in disbelief while searching for remote hideouts we can run to when the jackbooted thugs are given permission to ignore our laws and our rights.

Speaking of jackbooted thugs, have you seen what’s going on in Australia, the former British penal colony? The continent is now one big police state. Here’s a video of three police officers questioning a homeowner about his knowledge of any protests he’s been to or any he knows are being planned.

For “safety” you know.

Let’s get to the good stuff. Here are some officers arresting two elderly people, while one of the officers snatches one of the women’s phones while she’s videoing their conversation about being placed under arrest.

Here’s a number of videos from Melbourne.

Remember, this is all about a “virus” that has a better than 99.9% survival rate.

Or is it?

More from Melbourne:

Other examples of the Australian police taking care of their citizens’ health.

What are the police enforcing? Oh, right … the loss of your freedom. The unvaccinated in Australia’s NSW will lose their freedoms on October 11.

Unvaccinated NSW [New South Wales] residents have been delivered a major blow, with officials confirming those in regional areas who haven’t received the vaccine will have some of their new-found freedoms reversed within weeks.

Deputy Premier John Barilaro said the 70 per cent roadmap, which is due to kick in on October 11, will apply to the whole state.

This means unvaccinated people living in areas that aren’t currently in lockdown will no longer be able to enjoy the same freedoms they have in recent weeks.

“So there will be individuals in regional and rural NSW who choose not to be vaccinated who will lose their freedoms on October 11,” Mr Barilaro.

“So my message to everybody in regional and rural NSW is to continue to get vaccinated. We are seeing vaccination rates climb right across the state including in the regions.”

Then there’s this: Australia’s Chief Health Officer tells Aussies they’re never going back to normal. I wonder if Australians regret giving up their guns and gun rights back in 1996 under the national firearms agreement (NFA)?

Semi-automatic rifles and shotguns were prohibited, with a few exceptions, all firearms were required to be registered, a proof of reason would be required for all gun-licence applicants and gun purchases, with self-defence not considered a reason [or protecting yourself from government overreach. dLo]. Licenses would be reviewed, and ammunition sales were to be restricted to those licensed for the specific firearm. A national integrated registry was to be formed.

Notably, the reforms included a buyback of semi-automatic weapons and guns from owners no longer qualified to possess them. About 650,000 guns were destroyed, as part of the reforms that cost $500m.

My emphasis. That agreement came in the wake of a massacre of 35 people, the worst in Australia’s history. Gun deaths dropped in the years that followed, “from 516 in 1996 to 229 in 2019″— a reduction of 287 deaths in 13 years.

Not to minimize any life lost whatsoever, but they took your guns over 516 gun deaths? Out of a population of 25.3 million? At what cost?

Looks like personal freedoms to me. Australia is run by a parliamentary government, similar to the UK. They claim to have a system of checks and balances. So does the United States.

Keep that in mind, my friends. And buy ammo. Lots of ammo. Really. I mean it.

This is not a direct endorsement because everyone’s experience is different, but I’ve purchased from AmmoMan and had good results. I’ve also purchased from local shops near me and had good results.

Whatever you choose, do your homework and buy ammo.
