$1.47 trillion gone in 30 days! 😢 According to two new reports, Biden has gone around Congress to issue a record number of costly regulations in part out of concern that he might not win reelection and wants to cement in his agenda. This is the highest number of regulations issued in a single month during the Biden administration and is nearly five times the average of the preceding 38 months. The cost of these regulations amounts to $1.47 trillion and 278.6 million paperwork hours. This is a significant increase from the Trump administration, which had a total cost of $26.8 billion and 67.5 million paperwork hours, and the Obama administration, which had a total cost of $303.4 billion and 236.5 million paperwork hours. https://lnkd.in/eQAZeJjP

On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, announcing the 13 American colonies’ separation from Great Britain. This historic document, drafted by Thomas Jefferson, asserted the colonies’ right to self-governance and declared their independence from the British monarchy. America should take a close look at socialism and the United Kingdom’s fall from superpower status. The United Kingdom’s decline as a global superpower can be attributed to various factors, including the rise of socialism in the country. Socialism was the driving force following World War II. The Labour Party, led by Clement Attlee, came to power in 1945 with a clear mandate to govern according to socialist principles. You can draw a direct line from the Labour party’s election and their manifesto proclaiming that it was “a socialist party and proud of it.” The government implemented a range of socialist policies, including nationalization of industries, regulation of trade, and control of investments. The United States is under the same influences by the Democrat party in 2024. The socialist policies implemented by the Labour government had significant consequences for the UK’s economy and global influence. The nationalization of industries led to a decline in private investment, while the regulation of trade and control of investment stifled entrepreneurship and innovation. The UK’s economy became increasingly dependent on government subsidies and controls, which limited its ability to adapt to changing global circumstances. The United States is experiencing a period of Soft Power decline which always leads to war. The UK’s soft power decline as a global superpower is also reflected in the country’s cultural and historical influence. Socialism has been a key component of its decline in soft power. This is not to say that it cannot change direction but the longer they wait the higher the toll. The UK the United States need to assure life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are protected. The UK’s ability to project its values and interests globally was diminished, and its influence in international organizations and institutions have began to decline. The United States, must maintain their influence and adapt to changing global circumstances. The US has to leverage its economic and military power to maintain its position as a global leader, while also promoting its values and interests through soft power. Lessons Learned: The UK’s experience with socialism and its decline as a global superpower serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of economic freedom, entrepreneurship, and innovation in maintaining a country’s global influence. The UK’s decline also highlights the need for countries to adapt to changing global circumstances and to maintain their ability to project their values and interests globally. July 4, 2024 let's save the American Republic by denouncing socialism.

This is a time series chart of #SocialMedia posts mentioning Red Flag Warnings. Red Flag Warnings are official advisories from the National Weather Service (NWS). The official definition is this: "Red Flag Warnings alert fire managers on federal lands to conditions that are highly unfavorable for prescribed burns and that may lead to especially dangerous wildfire growth." That said, it's more widely used by everyone, including the NWS, to let the public know that fires can easily ignite and can spread very, very fast. This chart shows the top 10 locations from which social media posts (not including reposts) originate from. It does not indicate where Red Flag Warning have been issued. Most often it is the location of top media outlets, weather posting accounts, and the location of accounts of the NWS. Most are from X. But it does offer a good idea of the regions affected since September 1st up until yesterday, November 17th. The data begins on September 1st, therefore the week of 26 August is just that day. We can see that Red Flag Warnings have risen, and have moved eastward through the Mountain West and the Upper Midwest. There has been a great deal of coverage of the unusually high frequency and area of wildfires that have recently hit around the New York City media market. This includes a rather large fire on the New York / New Jersey border. For my non-US followers. Three locations are in South Dakota: Tea, Aberdeen. and Rapid City. Cheyenne is in Wyoming, Albany is in New York, and Oakland is in California. Special thanks to YouScan Social Listening ✨.

Is anyone surprised by this study? The top 20 foods purchased by those receiving USDA SNAP benefits. The program spends $120 billion annually while the nationalgrocers.org receive grants from the USDA to push these staples. Meanwhile, criminals steal between $11-$15 billion annually because of antiquated technology and processes that allow these stores to thrive while the food insecure suffer. #USDA #SNAPbenefits #foodinsecurity #nationalgrocers https://lnkd.in/e5yfk5Bu

States should provide services to validate citizenship and provided a free voter ID to everyone who needs it! The main reason voter IDs are not provided free of charges is to ensure voter ID laws are not enacted. This allows for plausible deniability and vote cheating during elections. Let’s give all voters sense of pride in America, voter ID symbolizes their ownership in our electoral process. Voter identification cards can range from relatively simple to highly complex cards with a variety of security mechanisms. Examples of various voter identification cards can be found, Tennessee, USA - Voter ID Card, Uruguay - Voter ID Card, Uganda - Voter ID Card, and Nicaragua - Voter ID Card. Not having voter ID laws in place can have several negative impacts on the electoral process. One major concern is the potential for voter fraud, as without proper identification, individuals could potentially vote multiple times or impersonate others. This undermines the integrity of elections and can lead to inaccurate results. Every fraudulent vote disenfranchises an American citizen. Voter ID laws have gained popularity for several good reasons. These laws aim to ensure the integrity of elections by requiring voters to present identification before casting their ballots. Voter identification cards can vary in complexity, with some containing advanced security features to prevent fraud. Research has shown that voter ID requirements motivate and mobilize supporters of both political parties, ultimately encouraging more participation in the electoral process. Despite some controversy surrounding voter ID laws, they serve to prevent voter fraud and maintain the credibility of election results. By implementing these laws, states can enhance the security and transparency of their electoral systems. While there are arguments both for and against voter identification laws, the overall goal is to safeguard the democratic process and uphold the rights of eligible voters. Advantages of voter identification cards include the following: 1. reliable form of identification 2. acknowledgment that voter is duly registered 3. may include several identifying features, such as photograph, signature, fingerprints, etc., to provide greater assurance voter is who he/she purports to be 4. may be marked when voter has obtained ballot, and thereby prevent multiple voting can be designed in response to low literacy rates 5. can be an effective form of identification where many voters have no fixed address 6. facilitates voting in areas where voter may not be known personally 7. can be issued along with material in a voter education campaign You cannot be disenfranchised if you are given the opportunity to have a voter ID free of charge.

June 2024 - Voter Protection Security Analysis: The Art of the Con: How Democrats Conned Voters with Sugar Coated Promises to sell Benedict Joe Biden The democrats have manipulated this as one big con game to sucker the voters into handing them unchallenged power through their Joe Biden puppet show. It has always been in plain sight that Biden was only a front man and others were pulling his strings behind the scene. Everyone who had contact with him knew this. The public was kept in the dark by a duplicitous press corps and powerful media moguls. The hyped up so-called CNN debate was a calculated disaster to give them a sought-after off-ramp to replace Joe with another, more tele-genetic puppet, any puppet, because Trump's momentum is winning. Intellectual honesty demands those with an ardor for Biden and the democrats were either duped or willingly conned or self-deluded into cognitive dissonance. None may be absolved from the admission this was and continues to be a con-job. If any of you looked or listened to Biden and thought to yourself, "yea, he is fine, normal, I trust him", then pick one of the three. Now, the question is will you continue to play along or finally come to the stark realization that they all must go. By now, you must know that these media pundits are tele-prompter reading, card carrying Screen Actors Guild members, not ethical trust-worthy journalist. When you hear glib talk of engaging in nuclear war with Russia, lying to the public by omission, mis-leading the public with malicious intent to stir up emotions and manipulate collective behaviors; it hints of lunacy without a shred of considering the consequences. Our economy is in shambles, our currency is competing with Monopoly money, our national security is breeched and our military leadership are purged of honor and the warrior ethos. Biden's money is dirty. The democrats offer glazed covered donuts filled with the alphabet acronyms and jingoisms of the day and it was swallowed whole by much of the electorate. Now you know why President Trump is a danger to their power and money. We must admit, it was because of him that all of their con-games have been exposed. They are guilty of the crimes they accuse him of. The art of the con relies heavily on the word that lends the term its name; confidence. For anyone with an instinct for self preservation, there can be no confidence remaining that would permit you to entrust your family, livelihood and our nation to the likes of such demented treachery. Do not waste time covering for Biden by slandering or defaming President Trump. Be grateful to him for pulling back the curtain on them. For all his flaws, he is a fighter. That is worthy of admiration and a quality we need today. Now is the time, for all American citizens to come to the defense of your country. Do not be suckered out of your vote for a glazed sprinkles donut or to stay in the freebie haircut line with the other sheeple.

OSINT - 1984 CNN has come under fire for allegedly selectively cutting parts of the conversation between Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump regarding nuclear energy. House Republicans accused CNN of being "FAKE NEWS" and manipulating the conversation to fit a certain narrative. The conversation, which took place on X, was reportedly edited to make it seem like Musk and Trump were downplaying the seriousness of nuclear bombs.Critics have pointed out that this selective editing by CNN is a form of censorship and misinformation. The controversy has sparked a debate about media ethics and the responsibility of news outlets to present information accurately and without bias.Despite the backlash, CNN has not responded to the accusations of selective editing. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of media transparency and integrity in reporting news. https://lnkd.in/ezf3A_mt

Hi everyone, Hope you'll are safe and sound! I want to highlight today how our frequent buying choices and falling for cheap products are creating a channel for illicit players to traffic fentanyl precursors into the US. These precursors are then used to produce lethal Fentanyl by the drug cartels which are again smuggled back into the US resulting in over 70000 deaths yearly. With millions of packages shipped daily, it is difficult to identify and track them. So please make intelligent choices whenever you're shopping online. If possible embrace the 3 Rs: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. We can create a better future for us and the society with our daily choices. #sustainableshopping #fentanylcrisis #UStradelawamendment https://lnkd.in/eYYfT5Ft
