Kimberly Klacik Runs for Congress in Baltimore



Democrats are terrified that I’m exposing what life is like in Democrat-run cities. That’s why I’m running for Congress
Because All Black Lives Matter, Baltimore Lives Matter. And black people don’t have to vote Democrat!

Misis: When It Comes to Masks, There Is No "Settled Science"

When It Comes to Masks, There Is No "Settled Science"

7/28/2020 | 
As the “fifteen days to slow the spread” continues to extend indefinitely, the issue of mask mandates has become increasingly contentious. The debate has been exacerbated by the inconsistency of the recommendations of authorities (political, scientific, and imaginary). Early in the pandemic, both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) advised against the use of masks, except by those who are particularly vulnerable (the elderly and immunocompromised) and their caretakers.
Many of us with some understanding of economics made such arguments at the outset of the debate, not necessarily because of any epidemiological expertise. When you understand the principle of scarcity, policies mandating that healthy teenagers vie for medical products with their more vulnerable grandparents is a formula for exacerbating the most severe outcome of any viral infection. In fairness, many medical experts raised exactly these concerns, even if they did not enjoy the media attention of their more demagogic counterparts.
Regardless of whether or not you agree with the masks-for-all policy, it is heartening to see how well entrepreneurs adapted to the spiked demand...

America Is a Technocracy, Not a Democracy

America Is a Technocracy, Not a Democracy

05/01/2020 | 

Perhaps never before in American history have the unelected technocrats played such an enormous role in shaping public policy in America.
In recent weeks, members of Congress have been missing in action. Late last month, the House of Representatives passed the biggest spending bill in history while most members were absent. Member votes were not recorded and the legislation was passed with a voice vote, which required only a tiny handful of members.
Weeks later, the Senate refuses to even meet, and may finally get around to debating some legislative matters in May. As with the House, a handful of members assembled earlier to approve another enormous stimulus bill. Many Senators stayed home. This is "representative government" in modern America.
But if you thought this lack of congressional action means not much is happening in Washington in terms of policymaking, you would be very wrong. It's just that the democratically elected institutions have now become a largely irrelevant sideshow. The real policymaking takes place among unelected experts, who decide for themselves—with minimal oversight or control from actual elected officials—what will happen in terms of public policy. The people who really run the country are these experts and bureaucrats at the central banks, at public health agencies, spy agencies, and an expanding network of boards and commissions.

Living and Dying in Bill Gates’ Fish Bowl

Living and Dying in Bill Gates’ Fish Bowl

By |April 21st, 2020 

As the virus takes its toll, those of us still in good health and with the ability to think clearly have the duty to explain to our fellow citizens what is really going on. We are living in a global experiment in which “health experts” such as Bill Gates, previously known for software development, have decided to treat us as specimens in a giant fish bowl for study and observation. Many of us will get sick. Many won’t survive.

Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the recipient of an academic award from Chinese communist authorities, has emerged in recent weeks as an “expert” on coronavirus when just a few months ago the media were starting to pay attention to his sleazy involvement with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Even the New York Times was on to the storydigging up photos of Gates and Epstein at his mansion. One of Epstein’s associates had been placed at the Gates Foundation.

Epstein was among a group of global elites who shared an atheist belief that scientific advances could help them live forever artificially. It’s not exactly clear what Epstein, Gates, and others were contemplating. But Gates’ relationship began after Epstein was convicted of sex crimes.

The European Union is Dead but Does Not Yet Know It


The European Union is Dead but Does Not Yet Know It

by 
  • The truth is that there is no "Union".
  • The coronavirus now has put the European Union and its comfort zone face-to-face with all its weaknesses, decadence and cowardice.
  • Another merciless battle Italy fought with the EU was for protective face-masks. France adopted a policy of requisitioning them; Germany banned their export. Those unilateral decisions undermined a much-touted EU principle: the free movement of goods in the single market.
  • As L'Express exposed, France seized four million masks belonging to a Swedish company and that had been intended, in part, for Italy and Spain.
  • When Italy and Greece were overwhelmed by migrants from the Middle East and Africa, the EU countries refused to take their "share" of migrants. Lacking a policy to stop the flow of mass immigration, Europe decided to leave the southern countries to their fate.

Dershowitz: How Should the Senate Deal with an Unconstitutional Impeachment by the House?

How Should the Senate Deal with an Unconstitutional Impeachment by the House?

by 
  • These two grounds [of impeachment] — abuse of power and obstruction of congress — are not among the criteria specified for impeachment. Neither one is a high crime and misdemeanor. Neither is mentioned in the constitution. Both are the sort of vague, open-ended criteria rejected by the framers. They were rejected precisely to avoid the situation in which our nation currently finds itself.
  • So, what options would the senate have if the House voted to impeach on two unconstitutional grounds? Would it be required to conduct a trial based on "void" articles of impeachment? Could it simply refuse to consider unconstitutional articles? Could the president's lawyer make a motion to the Chief Justice — who presides over the trial of an impeached president — to dismiss the articles of impeachment on constitutional grounds?
  • Regardless of the outcome, the damage will have been done by the House majority that will have abused its power by weaponizing the House's authority over impeachment for partisan purposes — exactly as Hamilton feared.

Billionaire Leftist George Soros Bought America's Media. Why Hasn't Anybody Noticed?

Billionaire Leftist George Soros Bought America's Media. Why Hasn't Anybody Noticed?

October 17, 2019 
Clenched-teeth presidential debaters unloaded Tuesday night on Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big-Almost-Everything -- any industry that pours Big Bucks into influencing American politics. Yet, they skimmed right over the scariest and most sinister big sell-out of all: Big Media.
Where during the CNN/New York Times Democratic debate was the crumbling Fourth Estate, whose downhill slide in the 21st Century has sent it on a desperate treasure hunt for sugar daddies to prop it up?
Why didn't the name George Soros pop up?
Democrats don't talk about Big Media's influence because they're the ones who benefit from it. With the exception of FOX, every one of the most influential national news outlets are campaigning -- I mean really flagrantly campaigning -- for far-left liberal candidates and causes.

Why the Worldwide Left Is So Opposed to Donald Trump

Rush Limbaugh has finally said the words...
We who have been listening to Rush Lumbaugh through the years have known that his dialog often describes the threats from the Left in such general terms that it is impossible to convict Rush of rash, unfounded accusations. This week, however, he has been building up to a crescendo that resounded on Thursday to expose the true nature of the threat to our Republic from Transnationalism. On that occasion, he used the words of a speech by John Fonte to expose the "big picture" workings of both foreign influencers and domestic activists toward the destruction of Constitutional government in the United States
Rush then explains that he believes that President Trump is well aware of these existential threats and his every move is designed to slow or halt their progress against your national interest. If you take the time to read the entire transcript, you will reach the part where Rush explains that the Left's twisted accusations against Trump's "nationalism" are designed to obscure the real nature of this Administation's struggle to regain the sovereignty that has already been eroded by the Transnationalists. - ed.

Rebooting the Mind and Heart to Get at Humanity 2.0 and a Global Convergence

Rebooting the Mind and Heart to Get at Humanity 2.0 and a Global Convergence

by Robin

We are going to do a travelogue today using quotes from a UNESCO institute in India with a vision written by American education profs, hen a May conference at the Vatican we were not invited to, on to Washington, DC and a think tank tied to Betsy DeVos, and an upcoming August 8 conference at UN HQ right there along the East River. Then we get to visit the Silicon Valley to finish up. All of these initiatives are pushing the exact same visions and many are tied to the same institutions and people who worked so hard to misportray the Common Core and competency-based education in the US. None of these conferences though are mentioning each other unless you recognize common attendees and funding.

I don't think the ties to the False Narrative are an accident and if I, and my book Credentialed to Destroy, are going to be an irritant to that vision, I might as well be highly effective and revelatory in precisely what we are really jousting against here at ISC. In fact, it was following up on things that were put into print that were provably untrue that led me to the Humanity 2.0 conference so let's start there.

The full name of the Vatican's new initiative, now with co-sponsorship from Google, is "Humanity 2.0: A Shared Horizon for Humanity" that quotes its CEO, a Canadian tech entrepreneur, as stating that:
All that is required to change our destiny is prudence and the will to act. If history has taught us anything, it's that humans rarely rise to the occasion unless they're inspired by what 'should be', and this is why Humanity 2.0 is committed to articulating a common vision.
And then using education and the news media and social media platforms to impose that 'common vision' and create a "shared horizon to unite humankind." Humanity 2.0 also intends to facilitate "collaborative ventures between the public, private, and faith-based sectors." That convergence of every institution with the ability to forge policy probably explains why the website headlines with a quote from Thomas Aquinas that sounded eerily reminiscent of the Mihaly Csiksentmihalyi definition of Excellence in education we tracked to the General Evolution Research Group from the 1980s--education should tie together in the student what is wanted, known, and felt. These ties make sense since both GERG and Humanity 2.0 see education as the primary tool to create "the kind of human civilization we should be striving to build" in the internalized attitudes, values, and beliefs of the students.

Following The Rules: Courts Can Require Agencies To Follow Congressional Rules

Following The Rules: Courts Can Require Agencies To Follow Congressional Rules

March 18, 2019
As children, we were all taught to follow the rules -- obey your parents, share your toys, be nice to others. The same is true for our laws. When we break them, there are consequences.


But what happens when government bureaucrats fail to abide by the laws set forth by Congress?

The Constitution establishes three branches of government -- the executive, the legislative, and the judicial. While the Founders envisioned that Congress would create the rules by which the people were to abide, today’s reality is that alphabet soup agencies -- FDA, USDA, EPA, USFWS -- adopt most of the rules that Americans are subject to. These laws have become so numerous and oppressive that one civil rights lawyer estimates that every American has committed at least three federal crimes by dinnertime every day.

#RedforEd: Socialists Organizing Teachers to Turn Purple States Blue by 2020

 by Michael Patrick Leahy | 19 Feb 2019

A well-funded and subversive leftist movement of teachers in the United States threatens to tilt the political balance nationwide in the direction of Democrats across the country as Republicans barely hang on in key states that they need to hold for President Donald Trump to win re-election and for Republicans to have a shot at retaking the House and holding onto their Senate majority.
