Did your government steal an election?
Dear Patriots,
Statement from Sidney Powell on recent Supreme Court decisions:
"We appreciate the Court's rejection of Governor Evers continued efforts to sanction us in Wisconsin, but we are very disappointed the Supreme Court is not taking the King case to resolve multiple circuit splits in the application of Rule 11 which affects every lawyer in the country. The Court is allowing a dangerous precedent to stand that puts at risk every lawyer who represents an unpopular cause or client. It will make it more difficult for individuals to obtain representation, and it is causing a pervasive "chilling" effect on our First Amendment right to petition the government for redress of grievances. At bottom, it will make it far more difficult primarily for conservatives to find legal counsel for any fight—but especially an election challenge. And sadly, that is exactly what the Left wants. They don't want lawyers to be able to fight for you—if you disagree with them. It is a sad day for what remains of the Rule of Law."
We have several very interesting pieces to share today.
- Did your government steal an election?
- How does the death of a Russian dissident compare to life in America for many conservatives?
- What does the largest study of the Covid-CCP injections say about resulting complications?
- Does anyone have innovative ideas to solve our education problems? One man does.
- What are the two key factors of happiness?

Mike Benz makes damning case that the RIG was in for the 2020 election SEVEN MONTHS ahead of time.
QUOTE: According to censorship expert Mike Benz, a concerted effort, starting in April 2020, was made by a coalition involving the DHS, NATO, the DNC, and other entities to launch a mass censorship campaign across all social media platforms. This campaign aimed to pre-emptively censor any disputes over the legitimacy of mail-in ballots. Benz described these entities as "Pentagon cutouts," suggesting they were operating under the influence or direction of the Pentagon to carry out the censorship campaign. These entities pressured and compelled social media companies to adopt a new category of speech violation termed "delegitimization." This policy was broad in scope, encompassing any form of content that could be interpreted as challenging the legitimacy of mail-in voting, early voting dropboxes, or the tabulation of ballots on election day. This pressure was not merely advisory but was backed by the implication of potential governmental force or repercussions for non-compliance. This included direct communication channels with tech company executives to facilitate rapid takedown requests. As a consequence, this concerted censorship effort led to the removal or throttling of potentially hundreds of millions of posts, particularly those questioning the security of mail-in ballots.
2- You may have picked up on the story of an opponent to Putin dying while serving a 19 year sentence in an Arctic prison. The Fake News and their Democrat ideological brethren where overwrought by the death and used it as proof of Putin villainy. We do not doubt that Putin is bad. But what was amazing is how tone-deaf to very similar behavior in America the entire leftist cabal and their challenged leader, Joe Biden, has been when talking about Russia.
The amazing Julie Kelly outlines all the details for you.

Navalny's Death Demonstrates Selective Outrage over Political Prisoners
QUOTE: Joe Biden wasted no time before shuffling to a White House podium last Friday to denounce the sudden death of Alexey Navalny, the celebrated anti-Kremlin activist.
According to Russian officials, Navalny, 47, lost consciousness after taking a walk at the Arctic penal colony where he had been serving a 19-year prison sentence for allegedly inciting "extremist" activities and other offenses. An outspoken foe of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Navalny won fans around the world including Hollywood celebrities and government leaders of all political persuasions.
Biden immediately blamed Putin for Navalny's passing while admitting the cause of death remains unknown. "[Make] no mistake, Putin is responsible for Navalny's death," Biden said during a hastily arranged press briefing on February 16. Putin, Biden continued, "had him arrested. He had him prosecuted for fabricated crimes. He sentenced him to prison. He was held in isolation."
Well, what a difference a few weeks makes. Biden clearly suffers from a faulty if not fantastical memory but are his mental faculties so poor that he has forgotten the past few years—let alone the past few weeks?
Is this the same Joe Biden who has publicly vilified his own detractors for more than three years? The same Joe Biden who continues to deploy the country's most powerful government agencies and corporations to hunt down, investigate, interrogate, arrest, charge, and imprison Americans for their participation in the events of January 6, 2021?
The same Joe Biden who routinely brands his countrymen as "insurrectionists" and "domestic terrorists" because they protested his election for a few hours that day? The same Joe Biden who recently bragged about the success in creating his own set of political prisoners? Did Biden happen to forget his remarks at Valley Forge on the third anniversary of January 6?
3- Be aware of the potential health complication from the mRNA injections.

Largest Global Study of COVID-19 Vaccines Finds Links to Blood, Heart, & Neurological Conditions.
QUOTE: The study, which examined data from 99 million vaccinated individuals, was performed by the Global Vaccine Data Network and published in the journal Vaccine. It found that mRNA vaccines — those made by BioNTech SE, Moderna, and Pfizer — were linked to an increased risk of myocarditis. Viral-vector vaccines like AstraZeneca's were linked to an increased risk of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis — a type of blood clot in the brain — and an increased risk of the neurological disorder Guillain-Barre syndrome.
Researchers looked for 13 medical conditions considered "adverse events of special interest" among 99 million vaccinated individuals in eight countries, seeking to identify higher-than-expected cases following a COVID-19 vaccine. In addition to the aforementioned conditions, the scientists also discovered a link between mRNA vaccines and an increased risk of pericarditis and increased risks of transverse myelitis (inflammation of the spinal cord) and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (inflammation and swelling of the brain and spinal cord) after taking viral-vector vaccines.
The new study is the largest and most comprehensive that points to serious health risks associated with COVID-19 vaccines. A study released last year in the journal Nature revealed that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines produce "unintended proteins" that the body attacks, while a study published in January in the Neurochemical Research journal found that the same vaccines resulted in "autism-like" symptoms in neonatal rats. Also in January, a group of German scientists urged the cessation of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines as "the problems of mRNA-based vaccines are becoming increasingly obvious."
4- We love sharing when smart people come up with ways to solve problems. John Droz has thought through a good solution for the lack of science education in public schools. Read all of his reasoning and the 30 topics he would teach to all children in the 9th grade, at the link to his Substack page. Here is a snippet to whet your appetite.

The Most Powerful Education Idea Ever?
A Single New High School Science Class Would Be Revolutionary
QUOTE: In most US schools, the Science offerings in K-8 are general and rudimentary. In High School, they get more specific and more advanced. For example, in HS there is typically one year each of such classes as biology, geology, chemistry, and physics. (Sometimes there are quasi-fluff options like environmental science.) The assumption is that after eight years of general science, students are prepared for (and interested in) more depth in the traditional Sciences. What's proposed here is that a mandatory "overview" Science class be given to all 9th graders. An appropriate title might be: Real Science 101 — but be creative with the name! The mandatory part is because Science is now an essential element of our existence, so every child needs to be taught some in-depth Science basics — which parents assume are being covered. However, due to the proliferation of the NGSS, almost all of the examples below are superficially treated, mistreated, or ignored:
• Critical Thinking (Properly defining, understanding, and teaching it. This includes appreciating the numerous, profound benefits of being a critical thinker.)
• Linear vs Lateral thinking (there are significant merits for both)
• Social Emotional Learning (how Critical Thinking can achieve SEL objectives)
• Why is Science under assault? (Science is a gatekeeper, Science is respected, etc.)
• Definition of Science (Science is a Process)
• History of the Scientific Method (4000± years of a successful process)
• The four key elements of a Scientific Assessment (Objective, Comprehensive, Empirical, and Transparent)
• Hypothesis vs Theory (explaining the different levels of Scientific certainty)
• Scientific responsibility (Is it the proponent's obligation to prove their claim, or is it the obligation of skeptics to disprove it?)
• Science and Public Relations (Is being right enough to win the day?)
Requiring this one class would result in extraordinary benefits to students — and subsequently to our society.
5- Happiness seems to be the desired state. Over and over we have been told, through many polls, that what makes humans happy is being married with a family and having a practicing faith. There are other factors but, when you boil it down, family and faith will always be the core. So why do many people turn away from the two things that will make them happy? It is a mystery.
Note: the other mystery is why, in this poll, Democrats are happier than Republicans. That makes no sense.

Married, Religious, Upper Income Adults Most Satisfied with Personal Lives
QUOTE: Married U.S. adults, as well as those making $100,000 per year or more and those who attend religious services weekly, reported the most satisfaction with their personal lives, a recent survey found. "Majorities of Americans across all key demographic subgroups are at least somewhat satisfied with their lives, but only a few groups have majorities saying they are very satisfied," according to the Gallup poll report. "This includes those with annual household incomes of $100,000 or more, married adults, those who attend religious services regularly, college graduates, Democrats and those aged 55 and older." Fifty-seven percent of married U.S. adults also report being "very satisfied," compared to 38 percent who are not married. U.S. adults who attend religious services more consistently (weekly at 56 percent) report being more satisfied with their lives than those who rarely attend (41 percent). By political affiliation, Democrats (52 percent) are more satisfied than Republicans (46 percent) and independents (44 percent). Older Americans ages 55 and up are also more satisfied (51 percent) than their younger counterparts.
PRAY for divine intervention. Not only for the country but in your own life. PRAY for the brave people shouting out the truth.
SHARE the truth.
Hold Fast,
