More on the FDA and COVID Injections

This is a fertile area for Critical Thinkers

By John Droz, Jr. @ Critically Thinking About Select Societal Issues

Many people wrote to thank me for my recent post alerting them that the new FDA is now taking comments from citizens about the COVID injections (until May 23).

Several readers also sent me a copy of what they sent to the FDA. Below, I am sharing with you an example of what an MD submitted, which was excellent…

—————————————————————————————————————

To the FDA:
As of February 28, 2025, the CDC has recorded 19,310 American deaths reported to them in VAERS by healthcare professionals or pharmaceutical companies who believe the death is vaccine-related. Approximately 1134 deaths have occurred on the same day, and 1266 on the day following vaccination.
From FDA testimony, VAERS deaths should be multiplied by an under-reporting factor of 30± to get a nationwide estimate of 580,000 vaccine casualties!
The largest autopsy study published to date indicates 74%± of deaths after vaccination are a direct cause or significantly contributed to by COVID-19 vaccination. There are over 4000 peer reviewed manuscripts in the medical literature concerning fatal and nonfatal COVID-19 vaccine injuries including those recognized by regulatory agencies around the world such as myocarditis, neurologic injury, thrombosis, & immunologic syndromes.
In 2022, the World Council for Health produced a pharmacovigilance report which is factual, scientifically grounded, and consensus driven calling for global market withdrawal of COVID-19 vaccines based on lack of safety.
Dr. Peter McCullough, a widely regarded expert on COVID-19 and vaccine safety, on December 7, 2022, in the US Senate, and on September 13, 2023, in the European Parliament, has called for with assent of an expert panels, removal of all COVID-19 vaccines from the US and EU markets for excess risk of death.
On March 21, 2023 the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons issued a factual, scientifically grounded, and consensus driven statement calling for all COVID-19 vaccines to be removed from the market based on lack of safety and efficacy.
The National Citizens Inquiry, a Canadian citizen-led and citizen-funded organization chartered to investigate governments’ COVID-19 policies, on September 14, 2023, called for market removal of all COVID-19 vaccines.
On January 12, 2024, Dr. McCullough again called for removal of all COVID-19 booster products from the market in a US House of Representatives Panel on COVID-19 Vaccine Injuries.
In July, 2024, Mead et al published two extensively referenced, peer-reviewed reports concluding the COVID-19 vaccines are not safe for human use and should be removed from public use.
In 2025, Hulscher et al, reported >81,000 physicians, scientists, researchers, and concerned citizens, 240 elected government officials, 17 professional public health and physician organizations, 2 State Republican Parties, 17 Republican Party County Committees, and 6 scientific studies from across the world have called for the market withdrawal of COVID-19 vaccines.
No large-scale, conclusive, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials have demonstrated reduction in infection transmission, hospitalization, or death as primary endpoints. Thus, the COVID-19 vaccines are not proven to be effective in reducing important clinical outcomes. A position supporting COVID-19 vaccination goes against good medical practice and cannot be backed by ethical and prudent physicians.
Based on these horrific facts, I am in support of banning the mRNA platform in humans.

The above well-written FDA submission brings to mind a powerful, short video of a few years ago. A dedicated and competent nurse lost her job for choosing not to get an experimental bio-chemical injection. She can tell her story better than I can.

Editor's Note: A video appears here I can't reproduce, so please go to the original article in order to see it, it's worth it. RK

This is one of many stories that tell the adverse consequences when we stray from Real Science and implement political science instead. Hopefully, avoiding that trap will be the DHHS, FDA, CDC, etc. theme going forward…

Covid Lies and the Human Consequences

By Rich Kozlovich

When the covid scare emerged I said it was scare mongering, and the stats were being manipulated, and we know they were. There was no need for social distancing, masks, and a demand, .... demand mind you.... that everyone get the shots.

Shots that were not vaccines, since they changed the definition for vaccines. Heretofore forever a vaccine had to immunize you and prevent transmission. These compound do neither, and worse yet, they're having a deadly impact on humanity, and there can be no Forgiveness For Covid Tyrants? Not in This Lifetime! Part III.

I've stated over and over again the impact of these gene manipulating chemical compounds will be devastating to humanity for decades, and every week more information comes out to prove that to be true. All the while there were effective alternatives the medical, academic, pharmaceutical industry, and the government lied about, and vaccine skeptics are the true critical thinkers.

The Hydroxychloroquine Crime By Leo Goldstein July 20, 2024 - More than four years ago, Democrat leaders colluded with the WHO (as part of the wannabe global government) and Big Tech to perpetrate a horrific crime: the denial of access to hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and other lifesaving COVID-19 treatments. The primary purpose was to legalize fraud-ridden voting by mail and seize power following the 2020 elections. Once in power, the perpetrators were able to cover up this crime even though it is ongoing. The FDA continues to reject HCQ and the even less controversial ivermectin (IVM). Instead, it pushes the harmful and dangerous quasi-vaccine. The number of direct deaths from COVID-19 has exceeded one million in the U.S. alone. Almost all of these deaths could have been avoided using HCQ- or IVM-based treatment. If not for the unusually mild omicron variant, the death count could be tens of millions.

Actress Patricia Heaton Rips ‘Fear-Mongering’ Media Election Coverage We Need to Pray’ for Traumatized Head-Shaving Women -We must make public-health authorities accountable for their COVID lies . The “public health” response to COVID has been awful. Ever since cases first appeared in Wuhan, the reaction has been marked by mistakes, reversals, outright lying and even political manipulation. We need a thorough accounting.

Mistakes are forgivable. In the early days, everything we knew came from the Chinese government, and while we now know that Beijing lies about everything, we knew less then. In fact, it not only lied about the disease’s origins, its nature and its spread, it kept the Wuhan airport open for weeks, allowing (deliberately?) the disease to take hold all over the planet before anyone else knew it was coming.....mistakes are inevitable and.... forgivable......... reversals aren’t necessarily bad. You make a decision based on what you know. Later you know more.......But lies and political manipulation are different. Those are a betrayal of trust, and they’re especially serious because trust is the public-health community’s greatest asset. The record here has been terrible, and we need investigation and accountability.

Many years ago a worldwide outrage erupted over thalidomide, a drug given to pregnant women to help with morning sickness, however it caused birth defects. How many children were impacted. Less that 15,000, and it was a worldwide scandal. These false vaccine genetically manipulating compounds is our thalidomide era, only it will negatively impact millions, and for decades to come, and we need to be outraged.

Fraud and lies, and someone.... actually a lot of someones.... need to go to jail over this.

What's really behind all of this? Greed, financial corruption and a tyrannical worldwide system of governance under the auspices of the most corrupt and incompetent organization the world has ever known, the UN.

Observations From the Back Row

By Rich Kozlovich

Well, the Wisconsin Supreme Court election has been resolved, the far left radical, Susan Crawford has won, which was characterized with verbiage the outcome would "affect the entire destiny of humanity," because it would impact the outcome of the midterms. Well, three things. First, I think that's hyperbole. Second, Wisconsin has an issue with voter fraud, so the outcome shouldn't be that much of a shocker. Third, Wisconsin isn't going to carry the the nation or the world anywhere.

It's clear neither Russia, Ukraine, or the rest of Europe want a peace deal, and there's even been talk if it looks as if Russia starts running over Ukraine, they'll explode their nuclear plants making Ukraine uninhabitable. Now that's really insane.

We already know about the corrupt efforts in the US to put Trump in jail to prevent him from running for a second term, and the corrupt judicial coup d’etat’ Democrats are employing to destroy Trump's presidency, and this is clearly a pattern of behavior for leftists/tyrants worldwide. Lawfare, corruption of the rule of law, and worse against political opponents. In Russia Putin's rival, Alexei Navalny, was arrested and died in prison, and no one doubts he was murdered. In Brazil they've arrested Jair Bolsonaro for allegedly plotting a coup and asks, where's my crime?

Romania arrested Câlin Georgescu, which halted elections because it looked as if he was going to win. In Turkey the demonstrations are huge, numbering hundreds of thousands, and some are claiming over a million, because Erdogan arrested his opponent, Ekrem Imamoglu, on trumped up charges, and now in France's Le Pen has been found guilty of embezzlement and the court is forbidding her from running in the election. But this is France, and Le Pen is surging in the polls and she's adamant she will not let the election be ‘stolen’ by judges.

One outrage after another: Europe is lost - From banning Marine Le Pen from the French presidency to negating Romania's election, Europe is a mess.

Vance Vindicated: Warnings About EU Proven Prophetic After Le Pen Ban - Vice President JD Vance was correct in warning of attacks on democracy and liberty in Europe, supporters claimed, as populist National Rally leader Marine Le Pen was banned from running in the French presidential election..

Democracy Denied - Democracy is imperiled across what used to be known as the Free World. In France, Marine Le Pen, who likely would have won that country’s next presidential election, has been prosecuted and found guilty of embezzlement, and barred from running for office for five years–until after the 2027 presidential election, in other words............In Brazil, former President Jair Bolsonaro is charged with attempting a coup, after some of his supporters “stormed” government buildings following his 2022 re-election defeat. Bolsonaro was out of the country when the alleged “storming” occurred. ............In Germany, the entire political system has been distorted to achieve a single goal: keeping the Alternative For Germany...............

From the beginning of the covid scare I stated it was scare mongering for political purposes, and it wasn't long before we knew these shots were not vaccines, but genetic manipulating chemical compounds that were going to impact humanity negatively for many years to come. I had said this was our thalidomide era, only much, much worse, and every week more information comes forth to prove that to be true.

The nitwit brigade is ever with us as Yvette Clarke Chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus claims Trump and Musk are nuts getting rid of all these amazing people in these agencies since these bureaucrats are efficiency experts! Remarkable! Well, why were they caught destroying evidence of funding to the Taliban? Why was the FBI trying to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop scandal?

None of that seems to indicate competence at any level, or perhaps they were just dogging it? Personally I go for both, incompetence and sloth.

The real insurrection wasn't January 6th, it's the judicial misconduct that's destroying the rule of law.

“Currently, district court judges have assumed the mantle of Secretary of Defense, Secretary of State, Secretary of Homeland Security and Commander-in-Chief. Each day, they change the foreign policy, economic, staffing and national security policies of the Administration. Each day, the nation arises to see what the craziest unelected local federal judge has decided the policies of the government of the United States shall be. It is madness. It is lunacy. It is pure lawlessness. It is the gravest assault on democracy. It must end and will end.” —Stephen Miller, U.S. Homeland Security Advisor

Personally, I get a kick out of this. ICE Walks Into a Boston Courtroom, Arrests an Illegal Alien During His Trial and Hauls Him Away. Apparently the judge was outraged and found them in contempt, but I doubt if they care, this was a message that needed to be sent. You can't hide! We will find you, and we will arrest you! The secondary message is the courts may make pronouncements, but it's the executive that carries out enforcement. At some point the judiciary needs to start asking themselves some pertinent questions.

What happens when the executive branch simply starts saying "no" to their pronouncements? The Pravda media can no longer help them as no one cares what they have to say.
What happens when the Congress starts passing laws to restrict their jurisdiction, which the Constitution gives them the right to do?
What happens when the public has so little respect for the judiciary they refuse to adhere their pronouncements? That's the question that should scare everyone.

Is western civilization on the verge of upheaval and pushback over the insanity the left has imposed on the world? Lars Møller thinks so saying:

American politics, not to mention European, has long been characterized by leaders who dared not stand up for Western civilization in an unequivocal way. At last, however, Americans may declare to the rest of the world where anti-Western forces are constantly on the lookout for signs of weakness: “You shall know us by our resolve.”

One of the things these demonstrations in Turkey are generating is a serious concern for economic stabilization and Turkey’s foreign relations. In South East Asia China's sabre rattling conduct is causing kick back from it's neighbors, and that will have a long term negative impact on China in a lot arenas. As for their military build up and antics around Taiwan.... it just doesn't matter, that's all show and no go. They they know it, and so to does Taiwan, and they're making sure China keeps understanding it's all for show by adding their first bunch of 66 F-16 fighters to their air force. Unlike Ukraine, they get it.

Trump's tariffs initially cause a lot of chest thumping haranguing, but everyday the geopolitical sites tell how after their virtue signally, they quietly come to terms, and that will be the story that's going to play out from now on.

Finally, Sen. Cory Booker talked on the Senate floor for over 24 hours because.... he's an idiot. It was called a hyperbolic, theatrical rant against Trump, but it wasn't a filibusterer, it was a stunt. To do what? Show off?

The end result? Trump is still President, the Congress is still controlled by the Republicans and no one cared what he had to say. How do I know? Can anyone show me one quote the Pravda media feels is so compelling it's repeating it? The "Democrats are still stuck in the muck, with a toxic brand", and their approval ratings are continuing to drop. Imagine that!

Observations From the Back Row With News and Views for 3/25/25

By Rich Kozlovich

Why do we think that way we do? Machiavelli noted there are only two groups of people in the world. The privileged and the common people. The privileged only want to maintain their privileges, or expand them, and the common people only want security. They want to be able to house, feed, and clothe their families in safety. That is what molds everyone’s thinking, except for the misfits who hate both, and want to destroy both.

The issue isn’t why people think what they think, it’s how many think what they think in each category, and very often that’s a result of where we are in the stream of historical cycles. I've read three books on historical cycles and they all agree we're in an end cycle, which epitomized instability, economic downturns, and violence.

Turkish President Erdogan apparently believed the guy running against him had a good chance of winning, and that was just unacceptable, so he had his opponent arrested on trumped up charges. I’ve been following Erdogan's antics for some years. First, Turkish Islam has always been a bit different than traditional Islam, and it’s been far more secular, so pushing all this Islamic radicalism on Turkey and his tyrannical failures may have been part of the bridge too far construction against him. As a result, this action filled the streets thousands and thousands of demonstrators who are outraged at this act. Will there be a new president as a result?

The last time I remember a nation having this many people running wild in the streets over politics was Romania in 1989. That resulted in Nicolae Ceausescu being overthrown and very unceremoniously shot later on along with his wife. Erdogan is afraid, make no mistake about that, and he has reason to be.

If there is a new President, I’m of the opinion a new President would moderate a lot of Turkey’s policies that were promulgated by Erdogan, who created a lot of instability involving energy, trade, foreign policy, domestic stability, and economics, and that’s a big one, because Turkey’s economy is in trouble and is in very real need of stability, which I've stated for some years, and in opposition to all the "experts" who kept claiming Turkey was doing great and would be a big force in the Middle East. Experts entirely too often are expert at ignoring the basics, and embracing preconceptualism, which means ignoring the things known because they're inconvenient, and making up the things not known, just like Henry Kissinger. More Here, and Here.

If there is a new president, and he has any sense of geopolitics, he’ll want to find common ground with Trump. There will always be tension between Russia and Turkey, so looking North isn’t their answer, and they have issues with Iran. I also think we would see a move for Turkey to have a much more harmonious relations with Israel, especially involving trade. Stability Israel is no threat to Turkey, versus the radicals being supported by Iran. This will be interesting to watch.

Recently there was an article discussing how one of the first things Trump did was to restore Winston Churchill's bust to its rightful place in the oval office, which Obama had removed, which generated some conversation about his years in the “wilderness” after his failures during WWI, and it played havoc with his ego. At one point it’s been claimed he considered suicide, although I’ve wondered how true that is, especially since during those years he set up an unofficial intelligence and spy network, all volunteers, of some of the smartest and well connected people in Europe. People who saw the dangers developing with Hitler and Mussolini.

Those people created what became the foundation for the official intelligence services when the war started and was headed up by, “Intrepid”, William Stephenson. I recommend reading the book, A Man Called Intrepid.

Those who read a lot of history are aware he did things that would have been considered despicable now, and would have ended his career today. The legend of Churchill is much bigger than Churchill, but that’s true of every hero in history. Churchill was a 19th century man of empire, and all his views and actions were predicated on that.

But one thing is clear. I never read about anyone in England that could have taken his place when doom was upon them. There may not be one now, and make no mistake, doom is upon them, and the same is true of Germany. Unless there’s a major political upheaval, Germany is doomed also.

I keep seeing conservative writers coaching the Democrats about what they're doing wrong, and what they need to change. And I have to wonder why?

Actually, it really doesn’t matter what sane advice they’re given as long as they have great minds, like Mad Maxine, who claims what Trump really wants is civil war, in spite of the fact it's the left that just about has a monopoly on political violence. And that great democrat seer, America’s very own Smeagol, James Carville, who insists Trump has put the very existence of America in jeopardy, and believes the Trump administration was going "collapse" within 30 days".

And as for those who allegedly have been educated in this arena, I have serious doubts about them also. Take AOC for an example. She graduated cum laude from Boston University with a bachelor's degree in international relations and economics. And while I may be overstating this, I think she’s dumb as dirt, nothing personal mind you.

They, along with a host of leftist celebrities and nitwits in general, just can’t keep from saying stupid things. They really are gifts that keeps on giving. They will follow the example of their moral leader, Dan Rather, and deny, deny, deny, and go down the drain together. Or, they could change and embrace truth, but that would be a stab in their hearts because they would have become conservatives, admitting all they believed in and promoted is evil.

They’ll choose denial and go down the drain.

I keep hearing how Donald Trump is a dictator whose goal is to destroy American democracy forever. If that’s true, why didn’t he do it during his first term? If the Democrats were going to help America, why didn’t she do it during the 12 years of Obama and Biden? As for being tyranny, it seems clear none of those on the left took a civic class in high school.

Leftism is the term that encompasses communism, fascism, progressivism, environmentalism, liberalism, and a host of other "isms", but they're all scions of socialism going back to the foundation of socialism, the French Revolution. As for groups like Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and the Occupy Wall Street, all violent misfits, they're the American left's modern version of the Nazi "Brown Shirt" thugs. Different names, same purpose! But the underlying social philosophy is socialism. If calling them communists pleases you, I'm fine with that.

As one write noted, the Democrat party views the Bill or Rights as the Bill of Permissions, and has worked for decades to create centralized power bases, that are not to be questioned, dealing with every aspect of human life, including the economy. They want to tax more, spend more, borrow more, regulate more, end the use of economically sound and effective energy sources such as coal, oil, natural gas, while imposing totally ineffective. and expensive, alternative energy programs on America.

By dictate they wish to force everyone to buy electric vehicles that are a disaster, under the pretext of saving the world from global warming, the greatest scientific fraud ever perpetrated on humanity. All in order to justify making everyone live in centralized communities they're calling "walkable communities", which will be small and condensed, making them easier to control. Taking away the people's right to choose is what dictators do!

Trump wants to decentralize power transferring it to local governments which the people can more easily control. He wants less taxes, less spending, less regulations, and less government interference in people's lives by unelected tyrannical bureaucrats to choose how to live their lives, spend their money, and live where and how they please. That's not what a dictator does!

"The Democrats are rudderless, divided, and leaderless. The positions that form the core of their agenda are beyond unpopular. All they have is theater, and it’s veering into acts of domestic terrorism." - Matt Vespa

Africa

Black terrorists talk ‘seizing the means of production’ in South Africa - As the South African government ramps up the persecution of and aggression against white Afrikaners, having passed a new “land reform” law (legalized land seizures without compensation) in January of this year, a clip from a six-year-old Lauren Southern documentary is going viral, reminding the West (and everyone else) that not only is the anti-Boer agenda in South Africa very evil, but very Marxian as well..........
Dismantling USAID Services in Africa - The potential dismantling of USAID (United States Agency for International Development) services in Africa presents both opportunities and challenges. While some view this as a loss of critical support, others see it as an opportunity for African nations to assert greater control over their own development. The true impact of this decision will hinge on how African countries navigate the shift, leveraging the advantages of independence while managing the risks that come with it......

My Take - Let's not be delusional, all this foreign aid going to these petty dictatorships is going into the corrupt pockets of their leaders. It's always been that way, and everyone knew it was that way. So why continue? American's aren't benefiting from this scam at all! But I'm betting some large multinational corporations are at the expense of American taxpayers. RK

Canada

Go, Canada! Breaking Up Is Not Hard to Do - Canada is finally waking up to a bitterly cold, hard truth: its freeloading days are numbered. The maple syrup cartel isn’t keeping the economy afloat, and the national security situation is downright embarrassing. Justin Trudeau is about to hit the unemployment line, presumably with a fresh bottle of Just for Men, jeggings, and a box of tissues. With Donald Trump back in the White House and looking to balance the ledger on trade, tariffs, and defense spending, Canada is realizing that the gravy train may be reaching its final stop miles short of Tim Horton’s..........
Eurologic: Danes, other Europeans, vow to fight back against America by ... not buying their arms

Covid

Waiting for an investigation of COVID-19 crimes - Recently, even the left-stream media has acknowledged the lab leak origin of SARS-COV-2, which it called a conspiracy theory five years ago. It is time to take another look at crimes that the Democrat party and its accomplices perpetrated on the American people at the time of the pandemic, killing hundreds of thousands of Americans by denial of treatment.........

Dark Money

Liberal Dark Money Network Arabella Advisors and Other Progressive Non-Profits Are Behind the Push for the IRS’s Direct File Initiative - A network of progressive non-profits has quietly spent years pushing the IRS’s new “Direct File” service. Progressive supporters of Direct File claim to advocate for low-income taxpayers. Research shows that key organizations promoting Direct File are closely tied to Arabella Advisors and its billion-dollar network of left-leaning dark money groups...........

Democrats

Democrats and their digging- Our friend Ruy Teixeira is back with another message for Democrats. My guess is that they won’t like it. It ain’t pretty, to say the least. Teixeira is telling Democrats that Trump may be underwater in some polls, but they are more like 20,000 leagues under the sea (to remember Captain Nemo). Here are the 4 points driving the party down:.........
Jasmine Crockett Confesses: 'I Don't Care About Legislation, Just Want to Take Down Trump' - In a shocking admission, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) revealed her true priorities, stating that she has little interest in passing legislation and is focused solely on taking down President Donald Trump. Her blatant disregard for productive governance highlights the growing trend among some Democrats, prioritizing partisan attacks over meaningful policy work that could actually benefit the American people. It's a clear indication that, for some, political vendettas are more important than delivering results for their constituents.
Jasmine Crockett: I Have Never Promoted Violence Against Elon Musk -During a Sunday appearance on MSNBC, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) denied playing any role in promoting the violence waged against Elon Musk’s brand, Tesla. The Texas Democrat acknowledged participating in the so-called “Tesla takedown,” which she maintained was a “large protest.”..........
Dems 2025: Stalingrad II or Keystone Kops? - I am wondering about the ongoing District Judge Blitzkrieg and the Tesla Blitzkrieg and the Bernie-AOC “Fight Oligarchy” Blitzkrieg Tour. Could this be the Democrat equivalent of the Battle of Stalingrad? If so, the question is: which Democrat astroturf outfit is going to play the role of the German 6th Army?........
The Democrat Party’s Identity Crisis is Far Worse Than Most of the Media Is Reporting - Ever since the 2024 election, the Democrats have been embroiled in a crisis. They have no message, no leader, and no strategy. As we have seen in recent weeks, all they have to offer the American people at the moment is rage and protests. Some people in media have acknowledged that the Democrats have a problem, but it’s far worse than anyone is admitting. Axios is a liberal media outlet, but they have published a piece that highlights how bad things are. Here are some highlights:............
California Shows Without Death Penalty, Murderers Keep Killing - Who needs the death penalty anyway? Certainly not California. Just lock the murderers up at a modest cost of buying a nice house a year and everything is fine. Of course, you can’t keep them in solitary or deny them visitations because that would be inhumane............

Editor's Note: This next article by Daniel Greenfield is a must read article: RK

An Assassination Has Ties to California’s Political Elite, Including its Possible Next Governor - In a scene right out of a movie, cars with stolen license plates parked outside a home in the Fruitvale neighborhood in Oakland, made famous by BLM rioters when a career criminal was shot during a fight in a train station, and the men inside opened fire on the homeowner. The homeowner grabbed his gun and returned fire..............Worse was yet to come.........Did the toxic mix of green energy, turning shipping containers into housing for the homeless, police defunding and corrupt political connections in the upper echelons of progressive politics turn into a murder plot? The answer to the question may determine California’s next governor............

DOGE

Low-hanging fruit is not enough - No one was more pleased than I over Trump’s executive orders to cut government costs, remove DIE organizations and indoctrination, fire excess government non-workers, and prohibit men from competing with women in sports. Initially, for these actions, there is plenty of “low-hanging fruit” to be taken down. The headlines in the news are replete with the administration’s claims of increased safety, better efficiency, and reduced costs. Promises made, promises kept.
Elon Musk Claims DOGE Discovered $330 Million in SBA Loans Given to Kids - Elon Musk revealed that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) discovered the Small Business Administration (SBA) had given more than $300 million in loans to children under 11 years old.

Elon Musk: 'No More Loans' After Discovering Baby Took Out $100,000 Loan

Energy

Trump Makes Coal Great Again - Unlike his predecessor, President Donald Trump understands that abundant and affordable energy is absolutely essential to the future of America. Since his return to the Oval Office, Trump has made energy dominance a keystone of his domestic agenda.......

Education

Trump begins to dismantle Department of Education - On Thursday afternoon, President Trump signed an executive order aimed at dismantling and reorganizing the Department of Education at the federal level, shifting responsibility to the states. This move aligns with Trump’s longstanding stance on reducing federal intervention in local governance, especially in areas such as education. He has consistently advocated for increasing school choice and reducing federal oversight in favor of local control..............
Public School Teachers: The Stupidest Creatures on the Planet - Quite the statement, eh? Let me explain. I’m well into my 60s and for my entire adult life I’ve heard that public school teachers are underpaid. It has been repeated as a mantra for decades. Ignoring for a moment whether it is true or not -- and the answer to that is generally, it depends -- let’s accept the mantra and analyze why public-school teachers are still underpaid after all these years.......

Immigration

Birthright citizenship in America vs. in the world - Today, the United States recognizes children of foreigners and non-citizens who are born in this country as U.S. citizens. President Trump believes that if the parents are foreign-born or non-citizens, and they happen to give birth to a child in the United States, that child does not automatically become a citizen of the United States and therefore is not entitled to all the benefits a U.S. citizen has earned and is eligible for. Many support and many are in opposition to the president’s view........
Trump Hits Venezuela With Economic Sanctions for ‘Purposefully and Deceitfully’ Sending Illegal Alien Gang Members to U.S. - President Donald Trump has announced secondary tariffs on foreign countries that purchase oil and gas from Venezuela. The tariffs are in response to Venezuela “purposefully and deceitfully” sending illegal alien gang members, including those with Tren de Aragua, to the United States via the southern border.......

Lawfare

Exclusive — Rep. Michael Rulli: Congress Must Write Laws to ‘Prevent’ Lawfare from Happening Again - Congress must write laws to “prevent” lawfare from happening again, Rep. Michael Rulli (R-OH) said during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily, discussing the judges who are attempting to halt President Donald Trump’s agenda......

Middle East

Report: U.S. Warns Egypt to Accept Gazans or Lose Billions in Aid - President Donald Trump’s administration has delivered a “final offer” to Egypt to accept up to 700,000 Gazans, according to a new report which says the proposal includes billions of dollars in economic aid and a warning that the same deal will be offered elsewhere if Cairo refuses.......

My Take - Why are we giving these misfits billions of dollars in the first place. Especially since they're building up their military, and its being speculated that's being done to invade Israel? RK

Trump

Trump Didn't Kill the Old World Order -- He Just Pronounced It Dead - In the first 60 days of his second administration, President Trump has made it clear that he intends to end the Old World Order that has shaped our planet since World War II. Free trade is out; tariffs are in. Nation-building is out; territorial acquisition is in. Wars of ideology pitting democracy against communism are out; trade deals are in.

P&D and The Week That Was

Truth is the Sublime Convergence of History and Reality

De Omnibus Dubitandum, (Everything is to be questioned!)

This Link will take you to My Commentaries.

By Rich Kozlovich

This week it was reported that China launched a new sixth generation jet fighter, and it appears its impressive, and most likely with stolen technology. Well, so what?

As Francis Menton points out in his article about the the eventual consequences of socialist central planning nations, (they all end up in the crapper, make sure to read about Cuba and Venezuela) and notes China's economics is all smoke, mirrors, with massive unpayable debt, bad investments, and incredibly bad economic planning. Not only are they attempting to justify their failures, they're doubling down on them, which will lead to the same thing that destroyed the Soviet Union. The Russians, with their idiotic economic schemes tried to compete militarily with the United States and still fund the needs of their people. They couldn't and they went broke.

The fact is China is already broke, and modern high tech military equipment is massively expensive to develop, even if that technology was stolen, massively expensive to build, and massively expensive to maintain, and ...... they're broke. And when Trump starts blasting them with greater economic sanctions, he may actually be able to undo what Nixon wrought, which was opening China up to world trade. As a result, western civilization has been financing China's efforts to destroy western civilization, and the big corporations are willing participants to that destruction totally committed to profits irrespective of the long term negative consequences, and their corrupt allies in government support them. As allies, big corporations are ..... on their best days ..... leaky vessels. On their worst days, they're traitors, and so are their supporters.

In years gone by it was reported that "seven in 10 young Americans are ineligible to serve in the military. For a quarter of those, the reason is they are too fat. Military groups argue these numbers show Congress should not retreat from the fight to implement new nutrition standards in schools". Hogwash. Let’s get real. It’s still all about calories in and calories out. If kids don’t exercise they get fat…. period.

The next time you drive past a public baseball diamond notice what’s there. No one! In days gone by they were played on daily…every day! Now the kids watch television, play games on computers…that’s especially a problem… and phones to jabber on or text to with their friends all day, none of which burns any real calories. Let’s get this – people are going to do what they want to do, and real leadership is encouraging people to do what they should and help them do what they would. Central planning is a waste of money, along with editorial blathering and hand wringing.

America's courts are in dire need of purging, as is easily demonstrated in this Iowa Supreme Court case, which threw out the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution. So, how is that to be accomplished? Purging law schools of the freaks teaching there, and that can be done by revoking their university credentials to teach for unacceptable practices, end all funding of any kind including student loans, publicly state no graduate will be hired from these universities, such as Yale or any of the Ivy League universities to the federal government, and place restrictions on any law firm that does hire them. And suing them for.... whatever works.... after all, they made up the rules of the game, and now should have to live with them, and it appears that Harvard has gotten the message.

Is Trump having second thoughts about Speaker Johnson? If not, perhaps he should take a look at the latest polls that show a huge percentage of the Republican base want him gone as being totally untrustworthy.

I recently read an article that claimed fixing the government's economics problems was impossible due to programs like, but not exclusive to, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, and the arguments were profound....and they were wrong.

The federal government has, as of 2013, assets of over 150 trillion dollars. They could wipe out the nation debt, saving just under a trillion dollars in interest payments, return the trillions they stole from Social Security, sell off the landmass in America owned by the federal government (to the tune of almost 25 percent) allowing for capitalization of that land, reduce idiotic regulations which would turn America capitalism loose like a force of nature. Social Security could be privatized, and based on how it's been terribly mismanaged it should be. The massive levels of corruption and incompetence in all these programs which has made all this so expensive can be addressed and fixed, and that fix starts with reduction the federal government by 80%. That's doable, and would be done without impacting the economic health of the nation, if anything, it will improve the nation's economic health.

Take a look at what the federal government is wasting the tax payers money on.

Trump thinks Canada should become America's 51st state, and there's been a lot of talk about that, with a lot of Canadian kickback, but it also appears.... and I use the word appears deliberately ....Some Canadians actually like Trump's idea of annexing Canada to the U.S. Well, here was my thoughts on that.

First, Canada is like France, their right is like our RINO's only more left, and if their ten provinces come as separate states, that means 20 more leftist Senators and untold leftist Members of Congress. Wow! What a great idea, what could possibly go wrong?

One commenter said: What you don't understand is that most of Canada, like most of the population in our loony leftist-"led" states, isn't loony leftists. I responded saying: Really? Wow! They must really have a serious problem with voter fraud in Canada! Right?

I have a friend who retired to Colorado, which was a once reliable Red state until all the far left nitwits from California moved there to escape the disaster they created in California and then quickly instituted the insanity they fled in Colorado. Outside of Colorado's major cities my friend says the people may be even more conservative than me, but the cities have the numbers. The same is true in Oregon, and the exact same thing would happen with Canada.

Bird flu has been confirmed, and it appears this one has..... watch out now.... here it comes..... mutations. And we should be shocked this virus is just like every other virus in the ability to change? Will the bird flu mutate to be able to attack people. Given the history of virus's the answer is it's quite probably. The real question is will the government attempt to impose tyrannous control over society as they did with covid, which was not only a bust, it was totally fraudulent and corrupt, which I pointed out repeated from the start of all that.

The only thing I didn't know at the beginning was these were not vaccines, they're gene manipulating chemical compounds that are now having, and will have, a massively negative impact on human health for decades, and I pointed that out as soon as I became aware of it.

So, the question everyone should be asking is this. If the bugman knew this how could all these professionals not know it? One more disaster this caused. My old man's morning breakfast group couldn't meet an McDonalds any longer, and since then some have passed and no one thinks the price is worth going any longer. Let's face it, If Fast Food Isn’t Fast, Hot, Cheap and Good Tasting - It’s Not Worth It, and that was eleven years go.

Today I have five commentaries of my own and two dealing with the collapse of Europe, which again, I predicted this ten years ago. These two deal with the UK and France, but next week I will be covering more of these nations. Europe is doomed, demographically, economically, and philosophically, because it's bereft of any stable moral foundation. And socialism isn't stable in any form. I listed an old one first as I think that lays important foundation for the rest, so read it first.

Best wishes, Rich

No matter what anyone says, you can’t marginalize the truth! You can suppress it, you can ignore it, you can avoid it, you can attempt to undermine it, you can attempt to subvert it, you can attempt to organize against it, you can even laugh at it, but if we have the courage and the fortitude to stand and confront the lies, irrespective of the personal costs, the truth will stand the test of time, because truth and time are on the same side.
