Great piece and artwork. How far we have strayed from the idea of rights being granted by God, few and fundamental. The Democrat party would have abortion and transgender surgery as rights but freedom of speech and the right to bear arms as prohibited. God help us if this evil party controls our government come January.

The evil party will control more than our government, if the win. They will control our very lives. Son of Covid on steroids. They told us what they will do. They have already done it.

Great summary,

Lahaina, the authorities prevented people from evacuating. They blocked the one road leaving the area. Afterwards Supplies to victims had to be brought in by boat because the authorities would not allow humanitarian aid in by road.

FEMA is preventing people from helping.

Pres Biden stated on tv that there is no money for Hurricane victims, the day after sending $2.8 billion overseas.

Oct 2023 the US Gov charged Americans to evacuate them from a war zone. Guess my taxes are not enough.

Wake up people, the US Government does not care about you, in fact they are actively trying to kill you. From COVID with their lockdowns and prohibiting ivermectin prescriptions to forcing ventilators and remdesivir, known to kill over 50% of the people they give it to.

To forcing the experimental drug on people where the health risks are still unclear.

Wake up people the current Criminal Syndicate, aka the US Government is not here to help you.

Thank you Democrat voters for ruining this country.

Thank you Republicans for sitting on your hands and refusing to fill out the ballot on your kitchen counter, you also created this corrupt criminal syndicate that purposefully kills Americans.

Robert, you are right about the October surprise being hurricanes Helene and Milton. When you write it “places a spotlight on the total ineptness of the Biden-Harris Administration (most especially on “Homeland Security” goofball Makeshift Mayorkas),” I think it goes beyond ineptness. It shows how truly elitist and uncaring they are in their attempt to grab absolute global power. I see it as one with Hillary (and Kerry) openly saying that they need the First Amendment to be abolished because it gets in the way of their control.

It's hard for me not to see their treatment of those devastated in North Carolina as not people, but simply disposable digits who are in the way of them getting the lithium mines, who care about this country enough to understand Trump should be president, who may not have gone to Harvard Law School but understand better than many who did what truth, honor and justice really is.

Everyone laughs about how stupid Kamala is. I think she's the smartest one of that bunch. Because when these totalitarian ghouls are finally up against the judgment they will one day face - and I hope some of those sitting in the jury are the hurricane survivors who've lived despite FEMA - Kamala will be the only one able to say “I had no idea any of the was going on, I was just trying to spread joy” and be believable.

I think you are right Polly, it is not so much ineptness as the appearance of ineptness that covers for maliciousness. Kamal might have natural intelligence, but there is a kind of idiotic stupidity that engulfs the smartest ideologues who hold false first principles and diabolical ideologies. Kamel is definitely not the smartest but she is not a big an idiot as she appears, her fake performance in the Trump debate proved that. Other than that, there is no reason to suspect higher than a moderate double digit IQ. Walz on the other hand, what a dodo bird!

Very funny Earl! If we are being honest, the idiot Kamal does not have below an 80 IQ- which means she has been gifted some natural intelligence, this is not to say she is intelligent, for it is obvious she squandered the gifts on self-indulgent, pathological and prostitutoral pursuits. None of this takes away from the natural intelligence God gave her, the damage is done to her character and in turn she has done great damage to any community of which she is a part- and unfortunately, she has infested her way into the American community by her accidents of birth and her ideology.

Speaking of 'migrants', (illegal aliens), I ran across this poem on a website.

If you agree with this man’s view, then Harris is the gal for you!

____________

I came to this country, poor and broke.

Told to see the immigration folk.

Nice lady treat me good in there.

Say I need to see welfare.

By and by, got plenty money.

Thanks to you, American dummy!

Biden and Harris say they care

Hand out money everywhere

Write to friends tell them of scam.

Tell them "come fast as you can."

They come across walk and running

I buy big house with welfare money!

Soon we all live together.

More welfare checks, it get better!

Fourteen families moving in,

But neighbor’s patience wearing thin.

Finally, white guy moves away.

I buy his house and then I say,

“More aliens for space to rent."

And in the yard I put a tent.

Everything is looking good,

We soon take over the neighborhood.

We have hobby, it's called breeding.

Welfare pay for baby feeding.

Kids need dentist? Wife need pills?

We get free! We got no bills!

America crazy! You pay all year,

To keep the welfare running here.

We think U.S. darnn good place.

Too damn good for the white man race!

If they no like us, they can go -

Plenty of room in Mexico!

I spoke with a neighbor yesterday and he told me that his son, who lives near the disaster area and is also a volunteer fireman, took a truckload of much needed supplies to the victims and was told he could not make the delivery. Fortunately this guy would not take no for an answer and told him his fire chief was in there and that he was going in. They grudgingly gave in but it does make you wonder when FEMA is turning away legitimate supplies, doesn't it?

You say, "If Kameleon wins the White House, foreign policy will belong to Raytheon, Lockheed, and all the other defense contractors/beltway bandits." I think this statement is very true having worked at various aerospace companies with smart management which will payoff Kameleon to design/develop and build multi-billion-dollar military systems. And I too, have wondered about where to live as a "second" country of preference ... as you say, perhaps "New Zealand." I recall there was an Australian "Down Under" organization that was attempting to attract technical people. I attended these meetings during the late 1960's ... probably because of the ongoing Vietnam War. They were selling the lower cost of living (which also was lower wages). But they have all those cute animals in Australia that I found appealing. Here I am approaching 80, not in my 20's anymore. But I'm thinking New Zealand is sounding pretty good to me! Great article, by the way.

Excellent as usual Mr. Eringer! The brainwashed will react toxically with accusations of toxicity. The unwitting conspirators will react with accusation's of conspiracy. The unwittingly insane will react with accusations of insanity. Meanwhile, we continue to slide downward into the morass of Banana Republics which are now branded equal to all first world countries, only better. I hope you are right and these hurricanes are the October surprise, I fear that may not be the case. Nonetheless, we are in for a very serious November surprise!!!

Who decides what is mis-information? A cadre of ex intellegence officials stated that the Hunter laptop was Russian disinformation but it wasn't. People who claimed that the covid shot was ineffective were accused of spreading mis information but they were right. Who should be in control fo determining what to censor? The Democrat party? A team from Stanford internet observatory? The proud boys? The power to censor is impossible to exercise without abuse. The right to free speech is the right to say that which some or many might not like. The right to free speech is the right to mis information. Long live mis information.

I see the dependence we have on the internet as a liability, susceptible to threats domestic and from abroad. I couldn't buy a pack of gum if the computer at 7-11 was down, our utilities are succeptable to hacking, I couldn't do a banking transaction when the internet was down and my speech is subject to censorship. Whatever is done online is subject to control. The Current could be censored and the archives scrubbed at a keystroke. If you have a phone just about everything you do can be known. I have no phone. I wish The Current could have a print edition. I use the computer as little as possible. I hope tor a movement away from dependence on the internet. I fear our eventual downfall to totalitarianism or conquest from without will be through this vulnerability

I read this interesting article by "Intelligence" person Eringer who has alerted all

SB "Currentors" that President Biden quitely visited Santa Barbara on 8/24/24 and

of all things, bougth a house in Santa Ynez weblink below>>>

https://www.noozhawk.com/presidential-visit-to-santa-barbara-county-wraps-up/

Then all of a sudden VP Candidate Mr. Walz flies into SB Sunday on 10/06/24

for a "little ole visit." Yes rigth ........... weblink below>>

https://www.independent.com/2024/10/07/walz-visited-santa-barbara-fundraiser-sunday/

Santa Barbara is now all of sudden the Deocratic Parties favorite "Hang-Out"

I do not believe in coincidences .... even VP Kamala came here to check-it-all-out.

https://tinyurl.com/49xumzry

Santa Barbara is another favorite place for a very interesting group of people

sometimes referred to simply as Russian Organized Crime or ROC who also love SB.

See weblink below and I quote from same>>

https://foreignpolicy.com/2017/07/24/american-soap-opera-explains-how-russia-feels-about-everything-santa-barbara-trump-putin/

"Santa Barbara’s imprint was everywhere. It entered the Russian vernacular, as a denotation for any hopelessly tortuous, excessively dramatic kind of relationship. ...It was a national obsession of borderline-insane magnitude. ....And let the primary colors of your life, instead of the fearsome Soviet crimson red, be Santa Barbara’s purple and gold. .... Santa Barbara lives on. ....And so mobsters from Kaliningrad, in the country’s extreme west — German Königsberg, occupied and annexed by the Soviet Union in 1945, birthplace of Immanuel Kant and Vladimir Putin’s ex-wife — travel to the United States to take a good firsthand look at the architecture of Santa Barbara-like gated communities...

But the “Santa Barbara Forevah” graffiti on the side of the apartment building where my parents used to live back in 1993 in St. Petersburg — it no longer is there."

Seems like everyone loves Santa Barbara and wants to buy Mansions here even the Russians.

Unfortunately, I've most likely said more than I should. But you were in a similar situation does fascinate me. The FBI remains harassing me from when I was in SB to where I now live in Dalton, GA (where there's conveniently an FBI branch office). The guy next door is definitely investigating and tapped into our house in more ways I care to mention. Definitely both political and hate natured. I tend to be very observant and hear and see things. Stuff in SB has carried over to where we are now living. It all started with the city building department inspection and went rapidly downhill during early 2021. My home sold for about 1.3M what I received and was rebuilt into a 4M home for someone else. Very slimy people involved.

I'm not sure what we will get honest answers from the Feds with regards to Crook's assassination attempt. But from initial info, he was leaning towards the lefties and probably covering himself with a Republican voting registration. The Feds law enforcement will fabricate whatever Biden and Harris want to assure it looks good for the Dems, which means we may never know. The Dems really came down on their own Dem NY City Mayor Eric Adams is a great example of how the Dems like to eat their own if you are not locked step within the current party issues.

Just had a flash - see whatcha think:

We know Democrats don’t watch Fox News, NewsMax etc., the GOP channels, just as most of us don’t watch CNN, MSNBC - the Commie-Dem channels. This means the Dems never get the word on the adminstration’s problems, Trump’s plans etc.

CNN, MSNBC etc. are in business to make money. Could we buy time and run ‘commercials’ featuring GOP news anchors like Laura Ingram, Rob Schmitt, Greg Kelly to give Democrats our side of the story?
