Not only do their ideas not work, but they are so weak, pathetic and fragile that they cannot compete with winners in the survival of the fittest competitions on the political ideology spectrum.

Click here to watch the full video commentary now (27 minutes).

When we observe Mother Nature and living organisms in the wild, weak organisms die off while strong, adaptive and resilient organisms “win” and thrive. But today’s Leftists have forgotten how to achieve anything because they’ve been handed everything without effort. They get automatic media coverage, automatic food stamp payments, automatic medals from the White House, automatic Nobel Prizes, automatic social approval and automatic grievances rooted in a pathetic philosophy victimhood. (Being a “Leftist” today is almost entirely rooted in holding ideas that are socially obedient and rooted in some sort of grievance rather than ideas of achievement.)

Yet people like President Donald Trump had to fight for every inch of achievement, often against extraordinary odds and media predators. This makes conservatives, libertarians and independent-minded people far more resilient, determined and capable, leading to their success vs. the complacent, lazy Left.

Where you have winners, you also see LOSERS: Ashley Judd, Shia LaBeouf, Madonna, Michael Moore and a long list of truly deranged losers who, if they were mirrored in nature, would represent the weak, pathetic deer who falsely pretended the wolves weren’t really coming for them rather than leaping away and saving their own lives. Living in a delusional fantasy land may work for a while in Hollywood and the left-wing media, but it doesn’t work in the real world. It only makes you extinct.

In nature, competition is good and WINNERS are rewarded

What we are witnessing right now with the collapse of the political Left, in other words, is a reflection of precisely what we observe in nature. The ecosystem of political thought is subjecting to the same laws as ecosystems of deer, trees, primates and even bacteria. In nature there is COMPETITION and there are winners and losers, yet the political Left thinks “competition” is an evil concept, and they can’t stand the idea of “winners.” (Instead, they believe in “equality,” which doesn’t exist in nature and is an artificial construct of liberal human society.)

Heavy metals scientist challenges vaccine promoters to drink mercury to prove it’s safe to inject into children /freedomnews/2017-01-26-heavy-metals-scientist-challenges-vaccine-promoters-to-drink-mercury-to-prove-its-safe-to-inject-into-children /freedomnews/2017-01-26-heavy-metals-scientist-challenges-vaccine-promoters-to-drink-mercury-to-prove-its-safe-to-inject-into-children#respond Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://162.244.66.231/freedomnews/2017-01-26-heavy-metals-scientist-challenges-vaccine-promoters-to-drink-mercury-to-prove-its-safe-to-inject-into-children There is a chemical assault being waged against the children of America, yet far too many parents, lawmakers and policymakers don’t see a thing at all wrong with it: The poisoning of our kids through the use of a mercury-laced substance in vaccines.

That substance is thimerosal, and it is proven to be neurologically toxic – to the point that it really is “settled science,” says Natural News founder/editor Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, in a newly released podcast.

Adams should know. As the science director for the accredited heavy metals laboratory, CWC Labs, he has personally tested vaccines for their mercury content, having found varying levels of mercury in many. He knows more about heavy metals and their toxicity than most vaccine pushers will ever know. He even wrote a No. 1-selling science book on heavy metals in foods called Food Forensics. (RELATED: Keep up with all of modern medicine’s health failures at Vaccines.news)

So, when he says there is literally a cartel of toxic mercury pushers who are denying the periodic table of elements by pushing toxic mercury in vaccines, they are essentially “medical child molesters,” because they are contributing to childhood brain damage through use of a known neurotoxin.

“As any genuine scientist or chemist knows, there is no such thing as a safe quantity or safe form of mercury for injecting into children. And yet, there is continued advocacy of pushing vaccines that contain mercury, a gross violation of the American Medical Association’s code of ethics,” he says, noting that despite mercury’s neurological toxicity, it is still being given to children deliberately.

In his podcast, Adams makes sure to point out that it may only take a very small amount of mercury-laced thimerosal in a few vaccines to push a child over the edge, neurologically. And he says it can happen even before a baby is born.

In fact, he notes, the earlier vaccines are given, the higher the chance that a baby or young child will be harmed neurologically. Often, children are fine right up until they receive a certain vaccine – one that may contain more mercury than their little brains can handle – and they lapse into a seizure, develop a high temperature and either develop autism afterward or permanent brain damage.

The government is aware of this potential, which is why in the 1980s, the Department of Health and Human Services established a vaccine injury fund to pay out claims to vaccine-harmed individuals through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

Adams also delves a little bit into why thimerosal-laced vaccines are being given to children. A major reason “is population control,” so that elites like vaccine-pusher Bill Gates, through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, can winnow down the number of people in the world who are consuming resources. (RELATED: Learn all about the Gates’ and their foundation at TruthWiki.org)

“Why give kids vaccines that cause such harm” if there isn’t some sinister reason behind it? Adams asks. Brain-damaged kids are also easier to “indoctrinate” in public schools, he points out.

It’s a fallacy to think that the government and vaccine makers are really just trying to “help children,” he adds. If that were the case, the government would have moved to have mercury removed from vaccines long ago.

The Health Ranger also poses this question: If it is so very wrong to harm children through other forms of violence, abuse and neglect (and it is wrong), why isn’t anyone being held responsible for harming kids with vaccines?

He goes on to note that some of the governing elite – in the U.S. but also in other Western societies – have always had a proclivity for abusing children. Such abuse continues to this day in the form of child sex trafficking, child pornography and other forms of abuse. But the vaccine industry is also allowed to prey on children with toxins, as evidenced by the thimerosal in them. “They want to harm children, otherwise they wouldn’t be injecting them with a known neurotoxin,” Adams says.

New law in France: ‘Presumed consent’ means everyone automatically becomes an organ donor; you have to opt-out /freedomnews/2017-01-26-new-law-in-france-presumed-consent-means-everyone-automatically-becomes-an-organ-donor-you-have-to-opt-out /freedomnews/2017-01-26-new-law-in-france-presumed-consent-means-everyone-automatically-becomes-an-organ-donor-you-have-to-opt-out#respond Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://162.244.66.231/freedomnews/2017-01-26-new-law-in-france-presumed-consent-means-everyone-automatically-becomes-an-organ-donor-you-have-to-opt-out Under a new law that took effect on January 1, every citizen of France is now presumed to be an organ donor. Under the “presumed consent” law, citizens not wishing to have their organs or tissues harvested upon their death must enter their names on a National Rejection Register.

As of January 2, about 150,000 people had already “opted out” by joining the rejection list.

France is only the latest European country to adopt an “opt-out” system for organ donation, as part of ongoing efforts to stem major shortages in organs for lifesaving transplants. When France’s new law was passed in April 2016, the country had 19,000 people on organ donation waiting lists.

The French law also allows people to opt out by signing and dating a refusal document and leaving it with a relative, or by making an oral testimony to someone who can convey their wishes to a medical team. (RELATED: See more news about modern medicine at Medicine.news.)

Murky ethics

Supporters of presumed consent laws say that opt-out systems dramatically increase the pool of available organ donors. According to at least one study for the World Health organizations, countries with opt-out laws have organ donor rates an average of 25 to 30 percent higher than countries with opt-in systems.

Under opt-in systems like those used in the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada, only people who have explicitly signed up to donate organs or whose next of kin give permission will have their organs or tissues harvested.

Supporters of opt-out systems often point to discrepancies between the rates at which people opt-in to organ donation and the proportions who say they support it. For example, 90 percent of UK residents say they support organ donation, but less than 33 percent are registered as donors

Critics of presumed consent tend to question the ethics and fairness of a system that requires explicit action to opt out of a major decision such as the disposition of one’s bodily remains. Concerns about opt-out systems include uneven access to information about the need to opt-out or how to do so, as well as to the opt-out system itself. Other concerns include the ability of children and the mentally incompetent to understand the issues and make an informed decision.

Another major concern is that the primary goal of opt-out systems is to remove the next of kin’s ability to make organ donation decisions. For example, while 80 percent of French citizens tend to say in surveys that they support donating their own organs, only about 60 percent tend to allow their relatives’ organs to be harvested.

But critics warn that removing this choice from next of kin may not be ethical, or even effective.

Does it really work?

There’s no question that the United States, like France, has a dire shortage of organs available for donation. Drawing off the example of many European countries, some groups such as the American Kidney Fund have urged the United States to also adopt a presumed consent system.

But according to a 2011 paper conducted by researchers from Johns Hopkins University and published in the journal Transplantation, an opt-out system would be unlikely to significantly increase the number of available organs in the United States, and might do more harm than good.

That’s because the United States already has a larger proportion of people donating organs than many countries with opt-out systems.

In a review of practices in 13 European countries with presumed consent, the researchers found that opt-out laws notwithstanding, medical teams still largely defer to the wishes of next-of-kin.

The ethical quandaries raised by presumed consent risk pitting families and the transplant community against each other, the author warned, which would ultimately lead to lower donation rates.

“With opt-out the perception becomes, We will take your organs unless you take the time to fill out a form,” lead researcher Dorry L. Segev said. “That’s a dangerous perception to have. We only want to use donated organs from people who intended to donate.”

A better way to increase donation rates, the study suggested, is to follow the example of Spain and have dedicated medical teams at hospitals that screen for potential donors and talk honestly with families about their options.

Trump crushes the TPP, taking a hatchet to the international profits of Big Pharma /freedomnews/2017-01-25-trump-crushes-the-tpp-taking-a-hatchet-to-the-international-profits-of-big-pharma /freedomnews/2017-01-25-trump-crushes-the-tpp-taking-a-hatchet-to-the-international-profits-of-big-pharma#respond Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://162.244.66.231/freedomnews/2017-01-25-trump-crushes-the-tpp-taking-a-hatchet-to-the-international-profits-of-big-pharma Following through on yet another one of his most well-known campaign promises, President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday officially withdrawing the United States from a toxic trade deal known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP, that former President Barack Obama had tried to usher through in his final days as part of his now-failed legacy.

Reports indicate that the axing of the TPP by President Trump came as part of a trio of executive orders, the other two of which included a hiring freeze on all federal employees except for those in the military, and the reinstatement of the so-called “Mexico City Policy,” which bars countries that receive U.S. aid from performing or actively promoting abortion as a method of family planning.

As President Trump signed the executive action officially killing the TPP once and for all, he stated before press cameras in the Oval Office that the move was a “great thing for the American worker.” The president has also indicated that he plans to take a closer look at and renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), another jobs-killing trade deal signed into law by former President Bill Clinton back in 1993 that’s been a gradually progressing death sentence for the American economy.

“The trade deal is a disaster for many reasons,” then-presidential candidate Trump stated back in May 2015 about the nature of Obama’s TPP. “Number one, we don’t have any good negotiators in our government … Number two, and very, very importantly, it doesn’t take into consideration the currency manipulation because we get beaten in trade more by currency manipulation than any other single factor.”

“The other thing they do, and they do it despite agreements, is they make it impossible to sell product in their countries even after they sign an agreement, so we need much stronger penalties if they continue to do that.”

Concerning NAFTA, President Trump later stated that its affects have been felt all throughout the U.S. manufacturing industry, which has lost nearly half of its entire base since the law was first enacted. This is the type of thing that the president has repeatedly promised to both stop and reverse — the continuous bleeding of American jobs and manufacturing to foreign countries — and he’s beginning with the TPP.

TPP would have been a nightmare for healthcare both in the U.S. and abroad

Another area where the TPP would have been disastrous for Americans and the American economy is the provisions it contained governing the drug industry. Not only would the TPP have upheld existing pharmaceutical monopoly powers over drug pricing, but it would have greatly expanded them in many areas, both domestically and abroad.

Specific text contained in the bill would have given multinational drug companies the rights and powers necessary to continue increasing drug prices while limiting consumer access to less expensive generic drugs. It would have done this by extending monopoly drug patents, allowing drug companies to continue charging obscene prices for not only drugs but also surgical procedures.

Where this likely would have hit the hardest is in foreign countries bound by the provisions of TPP, where multi-billion dollar drug companies would have been allowed to sell “lifesaving” drugs for conditions like HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and cancer at monopolistic prices, preventing all access to generic alternatives. The end result of this would have been more sickness and more death amongst the poorest and neediest people living on our planet.

“Big Pharma uses free trade agreements like the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the now-defunct Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) to expand their monopoly power and restrict access to medicines,” says Public Citizen, a nonprofit organization in the nation’s capital that fights on behalf of the public interest. (RELATED: See more news about pharmaceutical medicine at Medicine.news)

“The TPP — which was defeated by thousands of diverse organizations representing working people united across borders — would have provided large pharmaceutical firms new rights and powers to increase medicine prices and limit consumers’ access to cheaper generic drugs.”

In the U.S., expanded drug company powers provisioned in the TPP would have resulted in major attacks on public health programs like Medicare, which would have been prevented from reducing prescription drug costs for Americans in need, including the elderly. It also would have allowed pharmaceutical corporations to sue the U.S. Government for trying to reduce drug costs.

“The TPP would have also empowered multinational corporations to directly challenge domestic toxins, zoning, cigarette, and alcohol and other public health and environmental policies, and to demand taxpayer compensation for ‘expected future profits’ they claim were inhibited by such policies,” adds Public Citizen.

There’s no denying that the world dodged a bullet with the total annihilation of the TPP, and the world has President Donald Trump to thank for this major accomplishment, which occurred on the first business day of the president’s term as Commander in Chief.

New dystopian sci-fi series depicts totalitarian society run by corporate giants like Monsanto /freedomnews/2017-01-25-new-dystopian-sci-fi-film-depicts-totalitarian-society-run-by-corporate-giants-like-monsanto /freedomnews/2017-01-25-new-dystopian-sci-fi-film-depicts-totalitarian-society-run-by-corporate-giants-like-monsanto#respond Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://162.244.66.231/freedomnews/2017-01-25-new-dystopian-sci-fi-film-depicts-totalitarian-society-run-by-corporate-giants-like-monsanto They often say that art imitates life and that, sadly, never seems truer than when it comes to science fiction. Despite the fact that most stories in the genre are otherworldly, time has shown that writers and filmmakers are never all that far off when it comes to predicting the future. The latest example of a science-fiction story resembling real-life far too closely is Incorporated — a new TV series on the Syfy channel that finds the United States being run completely by corporations in the not-too-distant future.

Chuck Barney of The Mercury News reports, “Set in 2074, ‘Incorporated’ (10 p.m. Wednesdays, Syfy) imagines a world where many countries have gone bankrupt after a rash of calamities. In the absence of effective government, mighty corporations have become de-facto governments. A small sliver of the population lives in luxury, while most people live in squalor and fear.”

While this subject has been a major plot point in many fictional stories throughout the years, it has never been more timely than in 2017. Thanks to the globalist empire that looks to create a singular, world government, corporations like Monsanto are stronger than ever. While there are plenty of patriots and freedom-loving folks who are trying their hardest to prevent this takeover from manifesting, the powers that be are not going down without a fight. We saw this happen very recently with Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. Of course, the people spoke and Donald Trump was elected, but it was an extremely close race.

We came dangerously close to having President Hillary Clinton, which certainly would have meant having a Monsanto-backed leader of the free world. In a lot of ways, the corporations would have been running our country. Clinton merely would have been a figurehead. So while Incorporated may be a fictional television show, reality isn’t too far off. (RELATED: For more news regarding a potential societal collapse, visit Collapse.news)

Even star Dennis Haysbert believes that a dystopian future could be on the horizon if our federal government doesn’t divert from that potentially horrific path. Haysbert stated, “We are nose-diving into that world. I just hope it doesn’t become as dystopian as the show … I think a lot of people have lost their integrity. They all drank the Kool-Aid. Let’s see if it backs up on them.”

Hollywood, a lot of the time, tries to avoid subjects that paint the federal government in a negative light. Since the film industry is run by the same leftists that bowed down at the throne of President Barack Obama, they refused to create anything that could potentially make him look bad. Thankfully, it appears as though there are still some people in the entertainment industry that are willing to expose the truth and show just how corrupt the United States government has become.

While Incorporated may not be the solution to all of our problems, it could definitely help start a conversation about the direction that our country is headed — and has been headed for quite some time. If we are ever going to overcome the odds and receive true liberty in the United States, we are going to need the public at large to know that there are severe issues challenging our freedom every single day.

Though the best way would be through facts and statistics, fiction has a history of getting the point across in a much more easily digestible manner for the average person. That’s what we should be doing with Incorporated and other science fiction stories of a similar nature. It may sound silly in theory, but in execution, it could very well work in our favor.

Trump wants to eliminate over 75 percent of all regulations and ‘maybe more’ /freedomnews/2017-01-24-trump-wants-to-eliminate-over-75-percent-of-all-regulations /freedomnews/2017-01-24-trump-wants-to-eliminate-over-75-percent-of-all-regulations#respond Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://162.244.66.231/freedomnews/2017-01-24-trump-wants-to-eliminate-over-75-percent-of-all-regulations Part of President Donald J. Trump’s strategy to “Make America Great Again” includes dramatic cuts in the size, scope, and power of the federal government, and to do that, he’s prepared to take a buzz saw to regulations.

In a meeting with business leaders in the White House on Monday, Trump’s first official full-day in office, the billionaire real estate mogul-turned politician said he thinks it is possible to cut three-quarters of all federal regulations, and “maybe more”—while still ensuring that Americans are safe and protected.

Seated with 10 executives from various industries and corporations, Trump was repeating a campaign pledge to roll back corporate mandates and rules that cost the economy trillions of dollars per year and an incalculable number of jobs and opportunities.

“We’re going to be cutting regulation massively,” Trump told reporters, while pledging to be “just as protective of the people.” Included in the meeting with CEOs were Elon Musk, head of Tesla Motors, and Kevin Plank, chief of Under Armor. (RELATED: Stay current with all of the Trump administration’s latest executive actions at Whitehouse.news)

Democrats and the angry Left they represent have been irrationally opposed to any of Trump’s plans to roll back the massive number of regulations on the books—so many and so complex that corporations have to hire teams of lawyers and experts to decipher them and ensure that their companies are not running afoul of some federal agency.

In a wide-ranging statement issued on Monday, the president also repeated a campaign promise to cut taxes on businesses by reducing corporate rates from some of the highest in the industrialized world—35 percent—to a more competitive 15-20 percent. He also said he wants to reward companies that make their products in the United States and impose a border levy on products that U.S. companies manufacture abroad.

As he said on the campaign trail, Trump reiterated his intention to push for U.S.-based manufacturing while renegotiating trade deals like the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), while adding that he is not against “free trade.” Also on Monday, Trump signed an executive action pulling the U.S. out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a multi-national trade agreement he heavily criticized as more of the same kind of globalism that has disadvantaged U.S. companies and off-shored American jobs.

“What we want to do is bring manufacturing back to our country,” said Trump. “That doesn’t mean we don’t trade because we do trade. We want to make our products here.”

Following the meeting, Dow Chemical CEO Andrew Liveris told reporters that the executives will return in 30 days with suggestions about how to boost American manufacturing. But so far, Trump’s already scored some wins for Americans hoping to keep their jobs. As reported by CNBC:

Trump’s administration has already negotiated a deal with United Technologies for its Carrier unit to keep some jobs in Indiana rather than move them to Mexico, in exchange for $7 million in incentives over several years. Still, the company plans to shut down another Indiana facility and move hundreds of jobs to Mexico.

As reported by BigGovernment.news following the Nov. 8 elections, Americans voted for Trump’s agenda to roll back government and bolster American jobs and manufacturing.

“Americans rejected Obamacare. They rejected Left-wing radicalism in the federal courts. They rejected higher costs for business. They rejected job-killing regulations that targeted entire industries. They rejected the one-size-fits-all approach of an overreaching federal bureaucracy,” the site reported. (RELATED: The Trump administration is putting liberty back in style, as noted at Freedom.news)

It’s obvious the companies that have decided to keep jobs and operations in the U.S. that they had previously planned to move off-shore believe that Trump, a billionaire businessman himself, and the GOP-controlled Congress will deliver on the kinds of regulatory relief most of them have long sought.

What’s also obvious is that a majority of Americans in a majority of states also believe that Trump was the best candidate—and Republicans the best party—to provide them with better opportunities in the years ahead.

Republican traitor Paul Ryan now trying to protect Big Pharma from Trump’s monopoly-dismantling reforms /freedomnews/2017-01-24-republican-traitor-paul-ryan-now-trying-to-protect-big-pharma-from-trumps-monopoly-crushing-reforms /freedomnews/2017-01-24-republican-traitor-paul-ryan-now-trying-to-protect-big-pharma-from-trumps-monopoly-crushing-reforms#respond Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://162.244.66.231/freedomnews/2017-01-24-republican-traitor-paul-ryan-now-trying-to-protect-big-pharma-from-trumps-monopoly-crushing-reforms Though on the surface it may seem like President Donald Trump has it good, politically: He’s a GOP president at a time when he’s also got a Republican majority in Congress. And while Democrats will always be Trump’s biggest political obstructionists, he’s going to get far too much pushback from establishment Republicans who still don’t understand they were given clear mandates by the American people to get certain things done.

One of those things involves dramatically reforming health care—and not like President Obama and  the Democrats “reformed” it when they ruled Congress and the White House, a la Obamacare. It’s obvious that some Republican leaders don’t get this, and one of them may be House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis.

Ryan, for some reason, appears to be picking a fight with Trump and Vice President Mike Pence over the administration’s pledge to tackle the corruption of Big Pharma. Every American adult who has had to pay for medications over the last several years knows that they have gone up in price dramatically, and that there seems to be nothing stopping drug makers from boosting prices even on drugs that have been around for a long time. (RELATED: Stay up to date with the Trump administration at WhiteHouse.news)

What’s more, the price increases are only going to get worse this year, as Trump predicted.

In his first press conference in recent days, Trump—speaking at Trump Tower in New York City—promised pharmaceutical industry reforms including proper bidding on prices, among other measures, moving forward, Breitbart reported.

“We have to get our drug industry coming back,” he said. “Our drug industry has been disastrous. They’re leaving left and right. They supply our drugs but they don’t make them here, to a large extent. And the other thing we have to do is create new bidding procedures for the drug industry, because they’re getting away with murder. Pharma has a lot of lobbies, a lot of lobbyists, a lot of power.”

He went on to note that currently, there is very little bidding going on regarding drugs, even though Americans and the U.S. government are the largest consumers of pharmaceutical drugs.

“We’re going to start bidding,” said Trump. “We’re going to save billions of dollars over a period of time.”

Trump doubled down on his criticisms of Big Pharma later, in an interview with the Washington Post, saying that Big Pharma was “politically protected, but not anymore.”

According to Fortune, Trump’s comments sent the pharmaceutical industry into a financial tailspin. Enter the donor class’ favorite House Speaker, Ryan.

In response, Ryan told Mike Allen of Axios that he wants to “have more conversations about” the president’s efforts to crack down on Big Pharma corruption before it actually happens.

For the record, according to money-in-politics watchdog MapLight, the “Pharmaceuticals/Health Products” industries are one of the top 10 donors to Ryan, contributing $381,979 through June 30, 2016.

“I believe that the current premium support system with Part D works extremely well,” Ryan said. “I think there’s some real success stories … and I think we need to tell that story.”

When Allen asked if that also meant telling the president such stories, Ryan replied that it needs to be told to “a lot of people.”

He added: “I think [incoming Health and Human Services Secretary] Tom Price understands this issue extremely well.”

When he was asked about Trump’s comments that Big Pharma was politically protected, “but not anymore,” Ryan replied, “I don’t speak like that, generally speaking. I’m always looking for win-win situations, and I believe there’s a lot more we can do to bring down the price of drugs.” (RELATED: Stay current on this and other issues dealing with the pharmaceutical industry at BigPharmaNews.com)

The tension is more of the kind we’ve seen since the nationalist/populist Trump—the first real president “for all the people” in several generations who wants to stand up to the globalists, crony capitalists and corporatists—began rubbing up against the elitists who ‘run things.’

The Washington political class has never had to deal with anyone like Trump as president. He is not one of them, so he doesn’t view issues and problems through the same politically compromised prism as they do. Trump’s idea of “win-win” isn’t a “bipartisan agreement” per se, it’s any deal that helps as many Americans as possible (especially those who, up to now, have not had a voice in D.C.) while saving the government money and making it more efficient.

The ruling elite see “win-win” as anything that makes it appear as though they’re ‘doing something for the people,’ while actually doing something for the donors who keep them in power.

Big difference.

Madonna perfectly encapsulates the derangement and vulgarity of the Alt-Left: “Suck a d#ck” and “Blow up the White House” /freedomnews/2017-01-24-madonna-perfectly-encapsulates-the-derangement-and-vulgarity-of-the-alt-left-suck-a-dck-and-blow-up-the-white-house /freedomnews/2017-01-24-madonna-perfectly-encapsulates-the-derangement-and-vulgarity-of-the-alt-left-suck-a-dck-and-blow-up-the-white-house#respond Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://162.244.66.231/freedomnews/2017-01-24-madonna-perfectly-encapsulates-the-derangement-and-vulgarity-of-the-alt-left-suck-a-dck-and-blow-up-the-white-house Madonna has not been relevant in the entertainment industry in decades, but that hasn’t stopped her from trying to maintain her spot in the limelight. Instead of making art and music that people actually care to listen to, the 58-year-old pop star has decided to become a spokesperson for the Regressive Left. If you thought that most of her records were annoying, then you haven’t heard anything until you listen to the speech she gave at the Women’s March in Washington D.C.

At the event, Madonna expressed her disdain for President Trump, stating, “I’m angry. Yes, I’m outraged. Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House … But I know that this won’t change anything. We cannot fall into despair.”

The event drew people from all over the United States to the capital, where women — and men — expressed their concern over issues that they believe President Trump will not be addressing. While these marches took place all over the United States in every major city and region, the “official” march took place in Washington D.C. Some of those attending seemed to be concerned with women’s health while others, like Madonna, were just screaming vulgarities for shock value.

NBC 4 Washington reports, “The Washington, D.C., event was the largest of more than 600 ‘sister marches’ planned across the country and around the world. Organizers estimated 3 million people would march worldwide, and city centers across the U.S. were flooded with people in rallies that lasted for hours.” Despite the fact that it had a massive turnout, it didn’t appear as though the event was particularly well organized when it came to what those attending were actually protesting.

While most protests are organized in order to express discontent with a particular idea or policy, the Women’s March seemed to happen for the sole purpose of protesting. Though those protesting certainly have every right to have been (per the First Amendment of the United States Constitution), one has to wonder why they didn’t plan it out better in regards to getting their point across. Everyone in the country now knows that they are all upset with the current state of affairs, but none of us know what they are specifically upset about.

This oversight made the Women’s March virtually pointless in the grand scheme of the political spectrum. It had a lot of people talking for one day and then everyone moved on once they realized that there was nothing to talk about aside from the large number of people protesting.

Some have claimed that Trump is trying to “take away women’s rights,” but they cannot ever seem to provide exact examples of what rights those are, nor evidence to back up these claims. It’s all rhetoric pushed by the Regressive Left because they cannot accept the fact that the American people decided to elect Donald Trump. Then, after months and months of telling everyone that the world was going to end should he take office, the world didn’t end at all and the leftists panicked. Now they have to convince us all that Donald Trump is an evil monster who is trying to kill us all or else they look like the dramatic crybabies that they are.

While Madonna may be the most outspoken, there are a lot of celebrities like her that have completely lost their marbles and will continue to act completely inappropriately until we start pointing out their hypocrisy. So let’s get started, shall we? Stay up to date on more news about unhinged celebrities at the Celebrity Reputation website.

Goodbye, Obama, you “sleeper cell” traitor and enemy of America… (you won’t be missed) /freedomnews/2017-01-24-goodbye-obama-you-sleeper-cell-traitor-and-enemy-of-america /freedomnews/2017-01-24-goodbye-obama-you-sleeper-cell-traitor-and-enemy-of-america#respond Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://162.244.66.231/freedomnews/2017-01-24-goodbye-obama-you-sleeper-cell-traitor-and-enemy-of-america For the first time I can remember, we now have a nation led by a President who answers to the people, not the corporate lobbyists and special interests. He’s already clobbered the TPP, for example, and there’s much more to come. “What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people,” President Donald J. Trump said in his inauguration speech. “January 20th, 2017 will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again.”

Leaving the White House is “sleeper cell” Barack Hussein Obama, an enemy of liberty, a serial liar and someone who meticulously followed a Soviet-style plan of subversion to systematically destroy America. Let’s hope Trump initiates criminal investigations into at least some of the anti-American hucksters and mafia bosses who ran his regime (Lois Lerner, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, etc).

Here’s how Obama aided and abetted America’s enemies over the last eight years

Over the last eight years, Obama has systematically assaulted America’s economy, culture, liberties and international reputation. He has deliberately aided America’s enemies (like Iran) while stiffing allies in the Middle East (like Israel). His political decisions, both domestic and international, have been designed from the start to weaken and disrupt the United States of America while empowering America’s enemies, both domestically and overseas.

“Obama can burn in hell for his crimes against the people of this country,” writes Dave Hodges of The Commonsense Show. “Regardless of what the next four years may bring, we can all celebrate one sentiment. The most despicable President in American history is gone.”

He adds:

Economically, Obama is the worst President in American history. The net effect of his failed Marxist/communist economic policies, Obama comes in in 4th place as the absolute worst president in American history with regard to GDP growth at a miserable 1.457%.

Here’s how Obama attempted to systematically destroy America

– The national debt: When Obama was campaigning for his first term in 2008, he called then-President George W. Bush’s doubling of the national debt “unpatriotic.” During an event in North Dakota, Obama accused Bush of endangering our children’s future by writing checks “on the Bank of China” to expand the size of the debt to an enormous amount:

But over his two terms, the amount of debt has doubled once again, and now sits at a mind-boggling $20 trillion. Should the United States find itself in a real shooting war with a great power, it will be difficult to purchase war materiel because of this massive debt.

– The Middle East: Though this part of the world has not been what you would call “stable” for quite some time, at least its dictators kept a lid on things. Their respective populations may not have been all that happy, but their societies weren’t in a state of collapse. All that changed under the Obama administration, which has, with the help of Hillary Clinton, gutted numerous nations and forcing them into a state of collapse. (Such as Libya)

– Terrorism: Obama’s refugee resettlement program — where he’s accelerating the pace at which people from terrorist-breeding parts of the world like the war-torn Middle East are being allowed into our country — is putting more Americans at risk. Islamic extremism is on the rise and carrying out active operations inside the USA. Allowing people from those parts of the world into the U.S. without proper vetting and background checks is dangerous and destabilizing.

– Iran: The Islamic republic of Iran has been an enemy of the U.S. for decades. But Obama has seen to it that Iran was not only put on the path to develop nuclear weapons, it was also rewarded with billions in illegally laundered cash delivered on a military cargo plane. Yes, international money laundering is “business as usual” under the criminal Obama regime.

– U.S. Navy harassment: One of the ways the United States helps maintain global security and order is through the deployment of its powerful Navy. But over the course of Obama’s two terms, the reputation of U.S. military in general (and the Navy in particular) has taken it on the chin.

This has occurred in two ways:

China: The People’s Liberation Army Navy has been allowed to build artificial islands in the South China Sea, while Beijing now claims all of that massive body of water as its own. This has dire implications for the future in terms of allowing Beijing to control a multi-trillion dollar-per-year shipping lane vital to the U.S. and its Asian allies.

Iran: The Islamic republic was allowed to capture 10 U.S. sailors in international waters and then hand them back over to the U.S. at a time of its choosing, humiliating our sailors at the same time as it showed the Obama administration to be willing accomplices in destroying U.S. Navy credibility and capability. (We’ve also learned this entire event was staged by Obama operatives to hand over advanced Navy technology to Iran.)

– Race relations: Though his presidency was initially hailed as a victory for race relations and civil rights, Obama has used every opportunity to exploit race as a dividing force rather than as a unifying force. His actions on race deliberately sought to contradict the progress America has made since the Civil War with Civil Rights Movement legislation and widespread openness about race diversity. Now, after Obama fanned the flames of racial distrust and hatred, racial and ethnic divisions threaten to tear our society apart. (It’s all by design.)

– Russia: The White House, through the hapless “diplomacy” of a politically compromised and wholly inept State Department led by Hillary Clinton, actively sought to provoke war with Russia while surrendering U.S. strategic resources to Russian-linked corporatists (uranium mining companies in particular).

When you consider what Russia actually got out of these deals, you can see it was all rooted in corruption, not any attempt to promote America’s interests. Clinton got some cash for her foundation and Russia got 20 percent of all strategic U.S. uranium reserves, guaranteeing Moscow control over most of the world’s primary nuclear weapons-producing ore.

– China rising: At the risk of losing influence throughout Asia, the Obama administration claimed it was “pivoting” to the region to counter a more aggressive China. But that was a lie. In reality, the Obama foreign policy team, at the president’s behest, allowed Beijing to expand its influence over traditional U.S. allies and the entire Asian region.

– Marriage and family: During his presidency, Obama worked overtime to destroy America’s traditions and culture, focusing intently on destroying the cultural pillar of the “family.”

While the law should not dictate how people live or who they can love, the strength of the family unit is what teaches children that the people are what achieve abundance and advances for nations, not the government. Under Obama, the destruction of the family went hand in hand with the rise of the “nanny state” (police state) government that tried to function as Big Brother.

– Unlimited immigration: Obama’s senseless ‘open borders’ policies — rooted in changes he made to immigration law via executive order, which he said dozens of times he could not do — are systematically changing the face of America, which is manifesting itself in more racial and ethnic division rather than unity.

Failure to assimilate American history, language, culture and traditions poses unique dangers for native-born Americans. This is precisely how Obama is causing America’s to, in a way, lose their own country to a planned invasion of foreigners whose only real function is to mindlessly vote for democrats in every election. (Open borders is truly the democrats’ “voter recruitment” racket.)

– Cyber security is a shambles: The world’s great powers — and even rising regional powers — have dramatically honed their cyberwar and hacking skills during Obama’s tenure, yet the president a) did little to develop better defenses against cyber assaults; and b) did next to nothing to punish countries (like China) who were serial hackers (other than craft some worthless ‘agreement’ that the Chinese repeatedly broke).

On top of all this, Obama chronically lied about unemployment figures, oversaw Eric Holder’s criminal gun-running operation called “Fast and Furious” and directed Lois Lerner to weaponize the IRS against Tea Party non-profits… all while dropping tens of thousands of bombs on foreign countries as a “Nobel Peace Prize” winner.

Good riddance, you anti-American betrayer and insidious liar

Good riddance, Obama! Your goal to achieve the complete destruction of America has failed. We the People rescued it just in time, and now we have a true patriot in the White House who is already working to overturn your eight years of systematic economic and cultural destruction.

No wonder the unhinged left-wing media is desperately trying to destroy Trump… they hate America just as Obama did. Sooner or later, by the way, America’s true patriots are going to have to defeat the communists who have infiltrated government, media, academia and the public education system across America.

I get the sense that a new civil war is still brewing, and that the radical commies on the left cannot be reasoned with, bargained with or negotiated with. They will sooner or later have to be utterly defeated once and for all by the legitimate patriots who defend the Republic against its enemies, both foreign and domestic.

The Health Ranger’s 10-point plan to help Make America Great Again (VIDEO) /freedomnews/2017-01-23-health-rangers-10-point-plan-to-help-make-america-great-again-video /freedomnews/2017-01-23-health-rangers-10-point-plan-to-help-make-america-great-again-video#respond Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://162.244.66.231/freedomnews/2017-01-23-health-rangers-10-point-plan-to-help-make-america-great-again-video Putting President Trump into the White House isn’t enough all by itself: The American people need to step up and help Make America Great Again in their own patriotic way. (Plus, we need to overcome all the anti-American haters and destroyers like George Soros, Madonna and the unhinged radical left.)

Today I’ve posted a lengthy video discussing my own 10-point plan to help MAGA. My plan differs from Trump’s plan in that I’m going to be working to reduce pesticides and herbicides in food and the environment while demanding honest GMO labeling. Sadly, the Republican establishment is still mostly illiterate on the science surrounding pesticides and GMOs, so they need to be educated. There’s no one better to do that than a patriotic Trump supporter who also understands the science!

Watch my video at this link to hear my full 10-point plan, or see the full video below.

  1. Push for banning mercury in vaccines and ending the war on children.
  2. Use good science to keep exposing the toxic chemicals and heavy metals in the food supply.
  3. Keep exposing media lies, fake news and fake science.
  4. Defend the Second Amendment and the Bill of Rights.
  5. Teach more preparedness and self-reliance so more people can survive the global debt collapse that’s coming.
  6. Keep delivering clean, green, lab-verified solutions for healthy living and breakthrough nutrition via the Health Ranger Store.
  7. Demand a more tolerant society and an end to systemic racism in academia and government, where racism against Asians and Whites is now endemic. Stop college professors from teaching “hate courses” that only strengthen the cycle of violence and racial divide.
  8. Fight against subversives and communists who are trying to overthrow America (see videos by Yuri Bezmenov and the 4 stages of subversion).
  9. Keep fighting against poisonous, chemical agriculture and GMOs while advocating honest food labeling.
  10. Keep sharing ideas for how to prevent disease, lower health care costs and save our nation billions of dollars. Promote nutrition that halts and prevents disease.
