Stock prices are falling faster and harder than they ever have before .

We haven ’ t seen this much panic on Wall Street in a very long time , and on Thursday we actually witnessed the largest single-day point decline in all of U.S. history… Rising anxiety over the global coronavirus outbreak pushed the stock market into a new zone of fear Thursday .
After falling sharply all week , the Dow Jones industrial average tumbled 1,190.95 points to close at 25,766.64 – its worst one-day point drop in history .

The Dow fell more than 1,000 points on Monday , it fell another 879 points on Tuesday , and stock prices continued to drop on Wednesday .
But hardly anyone expected a brand new all-time record to be set on Thursday , and now we will wait to see what happens on Friday .

Stock prices are falling faster and harder than they ever have before.

The number of confirmed cases continues to explode all over the world, and the discovery of a case of “unknown origin” in northern California has really shaken up global financial markets. It has become clear that efforts to contain this virus have failed, and investors are now coming to grips with the fact that this crisis is just getting started. We haven’t seen this much panic on Wall Street in a very long time, and on Thursday we actually witnessed the largest single-day point decline in all of U.S. history…
Rising anxiety over the global coronavirus outbreak pushed the stock market into a new zone of fear Thursday. After falling sharply all week, the Dow Jones industrial average tumbled 1,190.95 points to close at 25,766.64 – its worst one-day point drop in history.
Overall, this is turning out to be an absolutely disastrous week for stocks.
The Dow fell more than 1,000 points on Monday, it fell another 879 points on Tuesday, and stock prices continued to drop on Wednesday.
But hardly anyone expected a brand new all-time record to be set on Thursday, and now we will wait to see what happens on Friday.
Incredibly, the S&P 500 has already plunged into correction territory. It only took six trading sessions for that to happen, and that is also a brand new record…
Six days. That’s all the time it took for the S&P 500 to fall more than 10% from a record into a correction. That’s the quickest turnaround of the sort ever, according to data from Deutsche Bank Global Research.
We have never seen anything like this, and many are now wondering what is going to happen if this outbreak gets much, much worse.
Without a doubt, stocks could potentially fall a long, long way. Thanks to a tremendous rally earlier this year, stock prices were pushed to the most overvalued levels that we have ever seen. It was inevitable that prices would fall, and this coronavirus outbreak looks like it could greatly accelerate that process.
Meanwhile, analysts are increasingly coming to the realization that this virus is going to have very serious implications for the entire global economy.
For example, on Thursday David Kostin of Goldman Sachs warned that American companies “will generate no earnings growth in 2020”…
“US companies will generate no earnings growth in 2020,” Goldman’s chief U.S. equity strategist, David Kostin, said in a note to clients Thursday. “We have updated our earnings model to incorporate the likelihood that the virus becomes widespread.”
And Guggenheim’s Scott Minerd is even more pessimistic…
Guggenheim’s Scott Minerd says the coronavirus crisis is possibly the worst thing he’s ever seen in his career: “This has the potential to reel into something extremely serious”
This virus is spreading great fear all over the planet, and it is going to be exceedingly difficult for the world economy to function normally when people are afraid to even leave their own homes.
At this point, the travel industry is being hit particularly hard…
“We don’t even need to wait for economic data to see how badly the economy is being hit. You can tell that the sales of airlines and hotels are already falling by a half or something like that,” said Tomoaki Shishido, senior economist at Nomura Securities.
Up until recently, Wall Street had been acting as if this was a temporary problem that would soon fade.
But now it has become clear that we will be battling this virus for many months to come.
And what happens if this crisis is like the Spanish Flu pandemic which lasted for three years?
By the way, tens of millions of people died during the Spanish Flu pandemic. Let us pray that the death toll will not be anything like that this time around.
Unfortunately, with each passing hour, this virus makes even more headlines. The Vice-President of Iran has become a confirmed case, and the Iranian Ambassador to the Vatican has actually died after catching the virus.
Speaking of the Vatican, the Pope just cancelled a service “after he was struck down with illness”…
Pope Francis cancelled a church service today after he was struck down with illness. The 83-year-year-old pontiff was not well enough to attend the mass, although there is no suggestion at this stage he has coronavirus as the outbreak in Italy topped 500 cases.
I should be clear that so far there is absolutely no indication that Pope Francis has been infected by the coronavirus.
But hopefully, he is getting tested for it.
In Italy, this virus is now officially completely out of control. On Thursday, we learned that it has now spread to ten different regions…
Ten of Italy’s twenty regions are infected with coronavirus as of Wednesday, with Lombardy and Veneto the two most heavily affected regions in the nation. So far, 400 people have been confirmed to be infected with the virus, which has resulted in 12 deaths as of Wednesday, according to a report by La Repubblica.
Many communities are already in a near total state of shutdown, but that has not stopped the virus from spreading.
Meanwhile, the number of confirmed cases in France actually doubled in just 24 hours…
The number of confirmed cases of coronavirus in France has more than doubled in 24 hours, the French Health minister said on Thursday, with the tally now at 38 from 18 on Wednesday. During a press conference, Olivier Veran said this “sharp increase” was due to the identification of so-called “contact persons” linked to previously known cases, adding France was “ready” for an epidemic.
In my entire lifetime, I have never seen anything like this.
And if the number of cases continues to rise at an exponential rate it is going to be absolutely devastating for the world economy and for global financial markets.
For a long time, many have been watching for the “trigger event” that would burst the biggest financial bubble in the history of the planet.
That “trigger event” appears to have arrived, and nothing is ever going to be the same from this point forward.

This Is Not Going To End Well For Evangelicals Now that the election season is heating up , rational reasoning , constitutional principles and spiritual convictions are in deep hibernation .
For that matter , they have been in deep hibernation ever since Donald Trump was elected president .
On my Facebook page this week , I wrote : If conservatives and Christians were as faithful to the principles contained in our Constitution and Bill of Rights when Republicans are in the White House as they are when Democrats are in the White House , I would have some respect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ much different tune .
Until that time comes , however , my songs will stay in the minor key .
Such an “ if ” is mere fantasy .
And the deeper we get into the election cycle , the deeper rational reasoning , constitutional principles and spiritual convictions plunge into hibernation .
The phony left-right , conservative-liberal , Republican-Democrat paradigm trumps ( no pun intended ) everything else—and I mean everything .
As I said in my Facebook post , had Christians and conservatives shown any kind of consistent convictions over the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have a much different tone .
A vote for Donald Trump in 2016 based on his rhetoric is understandable .
It ’ s what people who voted for Trump ’ s rhetoric are willing to tolerate from Trump ’ s actions that are unforgivable .
The only time Christians and conservatives ( on the whole ) care a whit about Christian convictions and constitutional principles is when a Democrat is in office .
Put a Republican in the White House—especially Donald Trump—and Christian convictions and constitutional principles go to mush .
And there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , history , facts , Biblical teaching , constitutional fidelity or anything else .
Supporting Donald Trump is more important than all of the above .
He is more important than the Constitution ; more important than the Bible ; more important than Natural Law ; more important than the rule of law .
He is the most important man—the most important thing—in the universe .
To millions of evangelicals , we are doomed if Trump loses the election .
There is no hope if Trump loses the election .
To them , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ losing the election .
Evangelical Christians will support Donald Trump no matter what , and that ’ s a fact .
When Trump said he could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot someone and not lose any voters , he was talking about evangelical Christians .
I ’ m convinced that if Donald Trump declared martial law , suspended the Constitution and declared himself Caesar , most evangelicals would shout , “ Praise the Lord !
” If he sent the U.S. military to round up his critics and incarcerate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would shout , “ Hallelujah !
” Short of arming Iran and leading them in an attack against Israel , I am convinced there is nothing Donald Trump could do to lose their support .
Absolutely nothing !
Trump ’ s support for the life of unborn babies is all talk .
His support for the Second Amendment is all talk .
His support for religious liberty is all talk .
And still evangelicals support him .
Trump has appointed an open sexual pervert to the highest government office in U.S. history .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ national debt to the highest levels in U.S. history .

He repeatedly blasphemes the name of God .
He lavishes praise on every two-bit dictator and tyrant in the world .
He spends over one hundred million taxpayer dollars on his own personal golf resorts—spending one out of every five days of his time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nickel .
And still evangelicals support him .
Trump has expanded the “ war on terror ” beyond any of his predecessors .
He drops a bomb somewhere in the world every 12 minutes .
He has dropped more bombs than both G.W .
Bush and Barack Obama ( almost 200,000 by the end of this year ) , murdering tens of thousands of innocent people .
He has transformed the definition of patriotism into racial and religious bigotry .
He is on a pace to appoint more CFR swamp creatures to his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Barack Obama .
And still evangelicals support him .
I could go on and on and on and on , but it doesn ’ t matter .
It just doesn ’ t matter .
To a majority of evangelical Christians , Donald Trump—and the State of Israel—are idols .
Yes , I ’ m saying it : Millions of evangelical Christians are practicing idolaters .
I urge readers to watch my short video exposing the great evil of idolatry—which in the Bible is spiritual adultery .
Susan Wright said it so well : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ across these stories of absurdity and borderline blasphemy have become the norm , I ’ m sad to say .
The fervor surrounding this unrepentant adulterer and cheater of orphans , widows , and veterans matches the unrestrained worship seen through the years in various cults and sects around the world .

They ’ ve forgotten the first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out into the world and be a light , winning souls to the Kingdom of God – because they ’ ve made winning elections and the pursuit of political power more important .
Let me reiterate this point : Trump is an abusive , profane , selfish , and in every way , ungodly man .
His heart is far from God , and no matter how he courts evangelicals for their vote , only true repentance will save him .
Not being surrounded by religious “ leaders ” of dubious character and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ praise and admiration , but nowhere do they call out his abuse or profanity .
At no time do they put Jesus ’ teachings of such things , above standing on their partisan platform .

Because to do so would cause them to be cast out from his inner circle and away from that access to political power .
Make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kind of national catastrophe ( and , no , the Coronavirus is NOT it—all the fearmongering and media hype notwithstanding ) , Donald Trump is going to win re-election .

Almighty God is angry with the way His bride , the Church , has run off with the orange-haired whoremonger and his cabal of Zionist warmongers .
It didn ’ t end well for Old Testament Israel when they played the harlot with idols ; and it won ’ t end well for evangelicals either .
Mark my words : The time will come when evangelicals will rue the day they ever heard of Donald @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for this psychopath .
Trump ’ s re-election notwithstanding , this is not going to end well for evangelicals .

Again , I urge readers to watch my short video entitled God ’ s Divorce From Israel .
It shows the tragic truth of how evangelical Christians are repeating the iniquity of Old Testament Israel by playing the harlot with idols .

In the age of Trump, running across these stories of absurdity and borderline blasphemy have become the norm, I’m sad to say. The fervor surrounding this unrepentant adulterer and cheater of orphans, widows, and veterans matches the unrestrained worship seen through the years in various cults and sects around the world.
What makes it equally disgusting is that once-respected Christian leaders have gone all in to back this man, putting their reputations and their witness on the line, for the glory of Trump. They’ve forgotten the first calling of a Christian – to go out into the world and be a light, winning souls to the Kingdom of God – because they’ve made winning elections and the pursuit of political power more important.
Let me reiterate this point: Trump is an abusive, profane, selfish, and in every way, ungodly man.

Amen, Susan!
Make no mistake about it: Barring some kind of national catastrophe (and, no, the Coronavirus is NOT it—all the fearmongering and media hype notwithstanding), Donald Trump is going to win re-election. It doesn’t matter who the Democrat nominee turns out to be: Trump is going to win.
The ruling class has brilliantly maneuvered the Democrat Party into the hands of radical leftist extremists that make even an amoral, warmongering, philandering, narcissistic, blasphemous ego-maniac look good by comparison.

You must hand it to the ruling class. Pulling this off was shear genius.
I’ve been cussed out by hundreds of good Trump-worshipping “Christians.” I’ve been consigned to hell by hundreds of good Trump-worshipping “Christians.” I’ve had several death threats from good Trump-worshipping “Christians.” I’ve had scores of good Trump-worshipping so-called friends turn against me.
I am now totally immune to it. If I lose everything over my truth-telling, it’s fine with me. It’s never been about popularity or wealth with me. NEVER!
If the day comes when there is no longer enough support for truth to sustain my work, I will walk away with a clear conscience and a heart full of thanksgiving to God for giving me the strength to faithfully stand. And I mean that from the depth of my soul.
As I say in the video I’m urging you to watch, this is not going to end well for evangelicals.
Almighty God is angry with the way His bride, the Church, has run off with the orange-haired whoremonger and his cabal of Zionist warmongers. It didn’t end well for Old Testament Israel when they played the harlot with idols; and it won’t end well for evangelicals either.
Mark my words: The time will come when evangelicals will rue the day they ever heard of Donald Trump—especially the televangelists who prostituted their pulpits for this psychopath.
Trump’s re-election notwithstanding, this is not going to end well for evangelicals.
P.S. Again, I urge readers to watch my short video entitled God’s Divorce From Israel. It shows the tragic truth of how evangelical Christians are repeating the iniquity of Old Testament Israel by playing the harlot with idols.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-02-28--Pennsylvania:  Man Acquitted For Defending Himself Against Cops Who Unlawfully Beat Him (Video)

Allentown , PA — An innocent man was acquitted this week despite the best efforts of the Allentown police department to put him in jail .
Thanks to video evidence , John Perez is a free man and the cops are being scrutinized for jumping him in a gang style beating .
After Perez ’ acquittal , Judge Maria Dantos tore into the department for their abusive and unprofessional behavior exhibited during the early morning hours of Sept. 8 , 2018 .
As the Morning Call reports , Dantos said she was “ disgusted ” by what she saw and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ captured officers cursing and telling Perez , who is from the Dominican Republic , to “ go back where you came from.
” She didn ’ t stop there either .
Dantos went on to accuse the officers of unnecessarily escalating their encounter with him and using excessive force .
She said officers perjured themselves during his trial and acted childish by smirking at jurors , laughing at the defense attorney and high-fiving in the hallway , according to the paper .
“ You know ‘ those people , ’ as the officers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dantos said , pointing out how damaging the officers ’ actions were to relations in the Latino community .
“ Do you know how hard it is for members of that community to call the police ?
What happened to protect and serve ?
Isn ’ t that still on the cars ?
You come into that community because they had the courage to call you and ask you for help , ” Dantos said .
“ But officers came into that scene like angry , hostile bullies.
” Dantos then went on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ justified in defending himself against what she described as “ an unlawfully , excessive use of force.
” As TFTP reported at the time , the video was captured on a resident ’ s surveillance camera and although it has no sound , it does show that at no time did John Perez , 34 , ever attack or otherwise become physically combative with police .
He merely defended himself from punches after cops swarmed and attacked him .
According to Perez , police were responding to a domestic disturbance near his home @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what was going on .
As the video shows , Perez is seen walking up to the group of 8 officers and simply standing in front of them .
According to Perez , without provocation , the officers began hurling profanities and insults at him , so he suggested a fist fight to settle things .
This was a terrible idea , but it was not a threat and only a request .
According to police , the officers were headed back to their vehicles when Perez started arguing with them .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and mentioned something along the lines of ‘ you guys feel good about yourselves talking like that , ’ ” Officer Jose Lebron said in the affidavit clearly indicating that Perez was reacting to how the officers were talking .
Perez then mentioned “ something about our guns and took an aggressive step toward me , ” Lebron said .
Perez admits that he mentioned their guns , but only in regard to making a fair fight .
This “ aggressive step ” is not visible on the video .
As the Morning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the video shows , this is not true .
Perez appears to have his arms out to his sides with open palms .
At no time does he appear to physically threaten the officer before being shoved to the ground .
When Perez jumps back up from the shove , however , this was perceived as a threat and street justice was promptly doled out .
Perez claimed that the video shows officers clearly assaulted him and the court agreed .
“ They just started beating me , hitting me , almost tore @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Perez said , who was then arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest and released on unsecured bail .
After Perez got out of jail 15 hours later , he went to the hospital who treated him for a broken nose , and injured shoulder , swelling , and scrapes and bruises all from the multiple officers who punched and kicked him repeatedly .
“ You push my brother and then you ’ re saying you were arresting him after you pushed him ?
” Eduardo Perez said .
“ And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
How was he resisting , you never came for him ?
” Perez is now pursuing a misconduct case against the department .
While challenging the officer was a terrible idea , it doesn ’ t necessarily constitute a crime .
As TFTP has previously reported , yelling and even swearing at police are protected forms of speech , so the officers ’ reaction to Perez in the video below appears entirely out of line .
“ I feel like I was not in the wrong at all .
To give me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t do , and then on top of that for [ putting me ] through the situation and going through the pain and headache , I didn ’ t have to go through that , you know , ” Perez said .

Allentown, PA — An innocent man was acquitted this week despite the best efforts of the Allentown police department to put him in jail. Thanks to video evidence, John Perez is a free man and the cops are being scrutinized for jumping him in a gang style beating.
After Perez’ acquittal, Judge Maria Dantos tore into the department for their abusive and unprofessional behavior exhibited during the early morning hours of Sept. 8, 2018.
As the Morning Call reports, Dantos said she was “disgusted” by what she saw and heard on their body cams, which captured officers cursing and telling Perez, who is from the Dominican Republic, to “go back where you came from.”
She didn’t stop there either. Dantos went on to accuse the officers of unnecessarily escalating their encounter with him and using excessive force. She said officers perjured themselves during his trial and acted childish by smirking at jurors, laughing at the defense attorney and high-fiving in the hallway, according to the paper.
“You know ‘those people,’ as the officers said, are your community,” Dantos said, pointing out how damaging the officers’ actions were to relations in the Latino community.
“Do you know how hard it is for members of that community to call the police? What happened to protect and serve? Isn’t that still on the cars? You come into that community because they had the courage to call you and ask you for help,” Dantos said. “But officers came into that scene like angry, hostile bullies.”
Dantos then went on to tell Perez that he was entirely justified in defending himself against what she described as “an unlawfully, excessive use of force.”

He merely defended himself from punches after cops swarmed and attacked him.
According to Perez, police were responding to a domestic disturbance near his home when he approached them to find out what was going on. As the video shows, Perez is seen walking up to the group of 8 officers and simply standing in front of them.
According to Perez, without provocation, the officers began hurling profanities and insults at him, so he suggested a fist fight to settle things. This was a terrible idea, but it was not a threat and only a request.
According to police, the officers were headed back to their vehicles when Perez started arguing with them.
“Out of nowhere the defendant showed up and mentioned something along the lines of ‘you guys feel good about yourselves talking like that,’” Officer Jose Lebron said in the affidavit clearly indicating that Perez was reacting to how the officers were talking.
Perez then mentioned “something about our guns and took an aggressive step toward me,” Lebron said.
Perez admits that he mentioned their guns, but only in regard to making a fair fight. This “aggressive step” is not visible on the video.
As the Morning Call reported at the time:
Lebron told Perez to step back and get out of his face, according to the affidavit, which said Perez raised his arm and clenched his fist. An officer pushed Perez’s hand away, Lebron wrote in the document, and Lebron again told him, “Get out of my face.” When Perez didn’t back off, Lebron pushed him, according to the affidavit. Perez then “charged at me with both fists closed,” Lebron said, adding that Perez was trying to pull him down. That’s when other officers assisted Lebron in subduing Perez and handcuffing him.
As the video shows, this is not true. Perez appears to have his arms out to his sides with open palms. At no time does he appear to physically threaten the officer before being shoved to the ground. When Perez jumps back up from the shove, however, this was perceived as a threat and street justice was promptly doled out.
Perez claimed that the video shows officers clearly assaulted him and the court agreed.
“They just started beating me, hitting me, almost tore my arm out of place,” Perez said, who was then arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest and released on unsecured bail.
After Perez got out of jail 15 hours later, he went to the hospital who treated him for a broken nose, and injured shoulder, swelling, and scrapes and bruises all from the multiple officers who punched and kicked him repeatedly.
“You push my brother and then you’re saying you were arresting him after you pushed him?” Eduardo Perez said. “And then you say he’s resisting? How was he resisting, you never came for him?”
Perez is now pursuing a misconduct case against the department.
While challenging the officer was a terrible idea, it doesn’t necessarily constitute a crime. As TFTP has previously reported, yelling and even swearing at police are protected forms of speech, so the officers’ reaction to Perez in the video below appears entirely out of line.
“I feel like I was not in the wrong at all. To give me charges for something that I didn’t do, and then on top of that for [putting me] through the situation and going through the pain and headache, I didn’t have to go through that, you know,” Perez said.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-02-28--Bernie Sanders’ America: A New Mini Series Highlights The Vision Of A Socialist President (Video)

The mask has been removed from Bernie and his “ bros ” to expose these individuals as rabid communists who pose a clear and present danger to our form of government and way of life .
Despite Bernie ’ s praise for totalitarian Communist dictators , Bernie supporters behave more like the attendees of a Nuremberg Nazi rally .
For those of us who recognize this anti-constitutional , anti-American Communist from Vermont for what he truly is , we can take what Bernie proclaims at his rallies , and using a clear head , to analyze what this nation would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ president .
But , first , there are a few housekeeping issues to attend .
The anti-constitutionalists of this nation hear only “ free , free , free , free , free ” .
Whether it ’ s healthcare , higher indoctrination ( college ) and social services , Bernie wants to give away these things as some “ benefit ” to all .
Couple this with his “ right for everyone in the world to live in the USA ” open borders policy and one can see where the economic downfall of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to occur .
Moreover , for these people across the great divide to criticize us constitutionalists for supporting a form of government created by “ a group of old white men ” , it ’ s obvious they can not see the forest for the trees since Bernie is “ old ” by their standards , which would include Bill Clinton , Nancy Pelosi , Hillary Clinton , etc .
The men who declared our independence from the tyrant King George III were in their 30s .
Now , Tucker Carlson , once @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bernie Sanders ’ s stance on the issues , which he discussed on his show on Fox News Tucker Carlson Tonight .
Carlson is taking Sanders seriously and beginning a series on what he termed “ Bernie Sanders ’ s America ” , proposing what America would be should Sanders win the presidential election in 2020 .
His first topic for discussion was immigration .
Like many political hacks who clamor for votes in order to retain their cushy seats in Congress , Bernie was against mass immigration until he wasn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was against mass immigration because it lowered wages .
Fast forward to today as he places his bid for the presidency , Bernie supports mass immigration and any deportations whatsoever .
In other words , Sander wants to end 99 % of deportations to please the “ undocumented ” immigrants – read amnesty for illegal alien invaders .
How many criminals would be included in that ?
Even if these illegal alien invaders committed another crime besides entering our nation against the law , Bernie would only consider deportation if the crimes were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this would be done by the “ pen and phone ” or executive orders telling the agency to stop deportations .
Executive orders , per the Constitution , are to be used to faithfully execute the laws made by Congress in accordance with the Constitution .
If the law is unconstitutional , an executive order can be issued to not enforce the unconstitutional law .
But , as with everything , the power to issue executive orders is grossly abused .
Bernie has vowed to “ unilaterally ” enact many tenets of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prevent criminal illegal alien invaders from being deported , bring deported illegal aliens back to the US , end-all workplace immigration raids as well as other tenets that would lead to the dissolution of ICE and our border patrol .
Watch the “ Americans ” in the background of the clip Carlson played on-air hoot and holler their approval of forever changing the voting demographic of this nation as well as the destruction of the USA as we know it .
Doesn ’ t it look familiar ?
Colleges and universities will be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tom , Dick , Harry , and Jane that makes it across the border as well as “ free ” for citizens .
It ’ s the same with healthcare .
Listen to what he says .
Honestly , it ’ s difficult when Bernie calls us “ yuman beings ” instead of “ human beings ” .
It ’ s obvious Sanders could care less about this country and its people .
Carlson even went so far to say he hates the US since that has to be the reason he promotes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ systems ( health care and education ) .
Bernie is all for the government of this country to abandon the Constitution and violate the tenets it set forth for government to secure the God-given rights of the people .
Publius Huldah has done a wonderful service to readers by comprising an easy to read and understand chart that outlines the power of government – State and Federal – and it ’ s purpose .
Securing the borders is the job of the federal government under the Constitution to protect citizens ’ God-given right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be without border enforcement ?
It means any and everyone coming here , with or without a means to support themselves or their family , and accessing “ free ” services as well as programs established for citizens , which would include voting .
Gone would be the freedom and liberty under the Constitution .
It would be a subtle subversion of our government , creating tremendous chaos , that would make this nation ripe for invasion by a hostile force .
And , you , as an American the government has designated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be unarmed after the “ pen and phone ” gun confiscation order .
Along with open borders that would allow a huge continual influx of illegal alien invaders and legal immigrants comes the threat of increased illnesses and diseases , like coronavirus .
It ’ s already been seen during the illegitimate usurper Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro Soebarkah ’ s time in the White House with lesser illnesses and diseases as well as continuing in the current administration .
There have been illegal alien invaders admitted to the US who have mumps , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , other skin conditions , and other contagious illnesses and diseases that may not be readily identifiable or carried by those who have eluded detainment by border patrol .
There would be no screening of any individual entering the US because the individual would “ walk right in ” .
As Peter Edelstein , MD , pointed out , this is a very dangerous policy .
In the end , it is hard to completely ignore the health risks posed by those whose entry into the country avoids medical examination and treatment .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the wall ” end of the spectrum or the “ they ’ re just seeking a better life ” end , accepting that treatable major health risks are freely entering into our general population is an unwise strategy , regardless of your political leaning .
And , naturally , the door would be wide open for the drug cartels and their crimes to openly set up shop in the US using amnesty and no more deportation to keep these criminals out .
Bernie ’ s proposal does not stem from sound judgment .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ not exercising sound judgment by not examining the consequences , particularly the financial aspect of the cost of the “ free , free , free , free , free ” policies .
It sounds good , but it isn ’ t .
Its aim is to do one thing – garner enough votes to win the Electoral College , using an unconstitutional election system , to gain the power of the executive office .
Sean Hannity pointed out on his Fox News Hannity show that the Democratic Socialist Communists , formerly the Democratic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ years but hate Trump and now are politically “ weaponizing ” the coronavirus outbreak in order to blame Trump .
Hannity also accused the DSCs of pitting pitiful political punches against Trump in order to score a few political points in their cap .
It ’ s astounding to recognize how far down this nation has sunk because of the political pandering to attain ultimate power .
Along with all the vitriol comes the accusation against individuals in the current administration of “ not believing the science ” .
One has to laugh @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it ’ s supporters deny the science of gender , deny that women are carrying babies in the womb instead of their “ clump of cells ” nonsense , deny the science disproving anthropogenic ( man-made ) climate change , and deny that carbon dioxide ( CO ) is a beneficial gas instead of a greenhouse gas , and support the theory of catastrophic climate change based upon junk science and faulty computer models .
To put it bluntly , the political system in the US has become so dysfunctional there is no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And , the dysfunction is referring to the two unconstitutional party system and unconstitutional election system , not our form of government created by the Constitution .
My Dad would describe is as being similar to the reeducation of the Nazi supporters in Germany after World War II – he was stationed at Spangdhalem Air Force Base in Germany during the Korean War .
Yes , we are talking about the severity of brainwashing that has taken place – some of it has been self-inflicted when it comes to the politicians .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ dysfunctional political system comes in the form of who “ deserves ” the power to govern .
The anti-constitutionalist DSCs have convinced themselves that all others except them are incapable of governing .
They have convinced themselves completely that people can not self-govern and need elite people to help them .
There is a downside for these power-hungry political elitists – they still need the vote of the people to retain their political office .
And , they need a fresh influx of morons who can ’ t think for themselves to come @ @ @ @ @ @ @ borders ) , citizen or not .
It ’ s unfortunate that so many Americans are soft-minded with their brain being in someone else ’ s head that they are unable to see what is happening – how the politicians are using the public for their own gain without caring one wit about this country or its people .
If they don ’ t wake up , it could spell disaster ; a disaster that will take generations to remedy .

All of this would be done by the “pen and phone” or executive orders telling the agency to stop deportations. Executive orders, per the Constitution, are to be used to faithfully execute the laws made by Congress in accordance with the Constitution. If the law is unconstitutional, an executive order can be issued to not enforce the unconstitutional law. But, as with everything, the power to issue executive orders is grossly abused.

It’s obvious Sanders could care less about this country and its people. Carlson even went so far to say he hates the US since that has to be the reason he promotes these policies – total collapse of the systems (health care and education).
Bernie is all for the government of this country to abandon the Constitution and violate the tenets it set forth for government to secure the God-given rights of the people. Publius Huldah has done a wonderful service to readers by comprising an easy to read and understand chart that outlines the power of government – State and Federal – and it’s purpose.

What would the US be without border enforcement? It means any and everyone coming here, with or without a means to support themselves or their family, and accessing “free” services as well as programs established for citizens, which would include voting. Gone would be the freedom and liberty under the Constitution. It would be a subtle subversion of our government, creating tremendous chaos, that would make this nation ripe for invasion by a hostile force.

It’s astounding to recognize how far down this nation has sunk because of the political pandering to attain ultimate power.

To put it bluntly, the political system in the US has become so dysfunctional there is no way in civilized action to correct it. And, the dysfunction is referring to the two unconstitutional party system and unconstitutional election system, not our form of government created by the Constitution. My Dad would describe is as being similar to the reeducation of the Nazi supporters in Germany after World War II – he was stationed at Spangdhalem Air Force Base in Germany during the Korean War.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-03-01--US Senators & Reps Build Up Communist-Style Workforce By Uniting “Ageless” Workers

Anti Fed Ed Warriors , recently , I showed you how the Boys and Girls Club of America ( AKA : Boys and Girls Clubs of America ) was tied to the CCSS Machine in P.E .
( physical education ) in your communities and schools .
However , that ’ s not all the Boys/Girls Club is up to , when it comes to the CCSS Machine .
Would you believe they are urging all Americans to contact their Congress members to FULLY support and pass into law the Youth Workforce Readiness Act ?
Warriors , the Boys/Girls Club @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 25 Senators by March 2020 in support of this agenda .
Do I mean students shouldn ’ t have jobs ?
No , what I mean is we shouldn ’ t be using education as a bully pulpit for ‘ workforce preparing factories ’ .
Where ’ s the ‘ agenda ’ ?
Using schools to shove out academics and insert business supported and industry aligned standards .
Congress , like the CCSS Machine uses P3s ( Public/Private Partnerships ) to pull the agenda off .
P3s were also mandated to increase under @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) , which codified the WIOA ( Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act ) and the HEA ( Higher Education Act ) into K-12th grade ‘ education ’ .
Look at the caption on this archived screen shot from my files .
( *Note : CCSS is Common Core State Standards ; CTE is Career Tech Education ; and , CCR is College and Career Readiness . )

The House version is 19 pages long and carries a $ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) between 2020 and 2024 .
The Senate version is 21 pages and has an ‘ open checkbook ’ for each FY .
Warriors , as of this writing the Boys/Girls Club campaign to urge Americans to have their Congress men and women co-sponsor each bill is far short of the 45/25 goal .
HR 5236 has one sponsor ( Rep .
Harder , CA ) and 8 co-sponsors ( Reps. Fitzpatrick , PA ; Blunt , DE ; Utpon , MI ; Cooper , TN ; Kilmer , WA ; and , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has one sponsor ( Sen. Smith , MN ) and 4 co-sponsors ( Sens .
Perdue , GA ; Graham , SC ; Wyden , OR ; and , Jones , AL ) .
A ‘ united ’ status is finding that HR 5236 and S 3144 are both in committees .

Our present Administration is pushing more workforce based education than ever before .
4 ) Coming in March 2020 , Arcadia University ’ s Pioneer Series of Presentations will feature former U.S. Assistant Secretary for Employment and Training , Joan Oates .
Mrs. Oates is now the President of a non-profit called “ Working Nation ” .
Be sure to access her media sources .
She ’ s all about re-skilling labor forces , skill training ’ s future for Americans .
Be sure to check out the Working Nation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is a venture capitalist .
Research has shown us VCs are out to ruin education and transform it into workforce prep .
Look at Working Nation ’ s Advisory Board .
Lots of CCSS Machine representation .
5 ) From 2014 , my first exposure for you about Global Silicon Valley .
From 2016 , one of my first articles tying AZ State Univ .
to GSV .
6 ) If you ’ ve heard of NextDoor ( a free neighborhood service ) , you may have missed my article about how that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Valley and the massive data mining that goes with it .

10 ) Why the ‘ skills gap ’ is a false message .
a ) Part One of my recent series detailing how much workforce based federal money the FY2021 Budget Requests will be .
It ’ s almost ALL ‘ skills based ’ .
b ) Part Two of that series .
c ) From my archives : 2017 ’ s look at the Congressional word play ; 2019 ’ s look at how ‘ the skills gap ’ is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ workforce development .
Warriors , we ’ ve seemingly become a nation which would rather focus on jobs and how to get them than our future leaders and caretakers actually being to know how to read , write , and , think .
All this ‘ workforce , close the skills gap ’ rhetoric continues is MORE focus on conforming than actual academics .
Do you wish to see this cycle grow ?
I don ’ t !
Let ’ s get this information out , let ’ s educate our officials and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the conversation .

She has been recognized by her peers as an expert in Common Core @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , workforce and competency-based education reform , federal overreaches into education and our families .

Anti Fed Ed Warriors, recently, I showed you how the Boys and Girls Club of America (AKA: Boys and Girls Clubs of America) was tied to the CCSS Machine in P.E. (physical education) in your communities and schools.
However, that’s not all the Boys/Girls Club is up to, when it comes to the CCSS Machine. Would you believe they are urging all Americans to contact their Congress members to FULLY support and pass into law the Youth Workforce Readiness Act?
(Source for Boys/Girls Club announcement)
Warriors, the Boys/Girls Club has a goal of 45 Representatives and 25 Senators by March 2020 in support of this agenda. Do I mean students shouldn’t have jobs? No, what I mean is we shouldn’t be using education as a bully pulpit for ‘workforce preparing factories’. Where’s the ‘agenda’? Using schools to shove out academics and insert business supported and industry aligned standards.
Congress, like the CCSS Machine uses P3s (Public/Private Partnerships) to pull the agenda off. P3s were also mandated to increase under the ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act), which codified the WIOA (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act) and the HEA (Higher Education Act) into K-12th grade ‘education’.
Look at the caption on this archived screen shot from my files. (*Note: CCSS is Common Core State Standards; CTE is Career Tech Education; and, CCR is College and Career Readiness.)
HR 5236 And S 3144:
Warriors, these related bills from the current Congressional Session (116th) are very similar in language AND agenda. Both are called the Youth Workforce Readiness Act.
The ‘united’ goal between the two:
1) Workforce ready children beginning at age 6 and ending at 18 years. States will compete for grants to embed this. Included are Career Pathways and Pre-Apprenticeship programs and skill based classes/activities. Look at this image again. Beginning at age 6! Perkins funding is based on a State’s entire child population beginning at age 5!
2) An expansion of federal government will also give us a National Youth Council for workforce/career pathways (embedded in CTE and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math)).
3) “Evidence based programs” (including data tracking and assessments) to groom children for jobs will be used at a local level and involve ANY school/education related group (including faith based organizations) like a Boys and Girls Club who can utilize before school hours, after school hours, school holidays, AND weekends to reach children as young as 6 years old.
The House version is 19 pages long and carries a $100 million PER FY (fiscal year) between 2020 and 2024.
The Senate version is 21 pages and has an ‘open checkbook’ for each FY.
Warriors, as of this writing the Boys/Girls Club campaign to urge Americans to have their Congress men and women co-sponsor each bill is far short of the 45/25 goal. HR 5236 has one sponsor (Rep. Harder, CA) and 8 co-sponsors (Reps. Fitzpatrick, PA; Blunt, DE; Utpon, MI; Cooper, TN; Kilmer, WA; and, Luian, NM). S 3144 has one sponsor (Sen. Smith, MN) and 4 co-sponsors (Sens. Perdue, GA; Graham, SC; Wyden, OR; and, Jones, AL).
A ‘united’ status is finding that HR 5236 and S 3144 are both in committees. HR 5236 is in the House’s Education and Labor Committee; S 3144 is in the Senate HELP.
Warriors, on March 4th, 2020 you can here all about the House’s effort to reauthorize the Apprenticeship Act.
Related resources:
1) From 2019, how the Congress members are using workforce based education for digital currency plans. From 2018 how the workforce development cycle will encompass everyone in America from birth to death. Note the ‘kingpin’ is apprenticeships.
2) Warriors, did you know the U.S. Dept. of Labor has our nation broken into 6 Regions for Apprenticeships?
3) By the way, Warriors, apprenticeships are 100% based on the German Competency Models, as well as other nations’. A big fan of those? BOTH Democrats and Republicans! Our present Administration is pushing more workforce based education than ever before.
4) Coming in March 2020, Arcadia University’s Pioneer Series of Presentations will feature former U.S. Assistant Secretary for Employment and Training, Joan Oates. Mrs. Oates is now the President of a non-profit called “Working Nation”. Be sure to access her media sources. She’s all about re-skilling labor forces, skill training’s future for Americans.

7) From 2016, this article details the Working Nation’s founder (Art Bilger) and his plans to ‘wake up’ our nation over job losses. But read HOW he wanted (still wants) to do it. What do Elon Musk, Art Bilger, Bill Gates, and Bill Nye have in common?
Read this from Working Nation. Lastly, this 2016 paper describes Art Bilger as a ‘jobs expert’.
Look a the ties to Big Tech and what’s now blockchain data.
8) How will Big Data (Facebook, Google, Amazon) ‘cash in’ on the ‘skills gap’ Working Nation preaches? Two ways:
a) the USMCA (US-Mexico-Canada Agreement) and b) immigration. This link will take you to the conclusion of my series on detailing the USMCA. You can access all the related articles from there.
9) OAN News recently had a leader from a FL private university discuss how they are helping close the ‘skills gap’.
10) Why the ‘skills gap’ is a false message.
a) Part One of my recent series detailing how much workforce based federal money the FY2021 Budget Requests will be. It’s almost ALL ‘skills based’.
b) Part Two of that series.
c) From my archives: 2017’s look at the Congressional word play; 2019’s look at how ‘the skills gap’ is being used to purposefully align education to workforce development.
Closing:
Warriors, we’ve seemingly become a nation which would rather focus on jobs and how to get them than our future leaders and caretakers actually being to know how to read, write, and, think. All this ‘workforce, close the skills gap’ rhetoric continues is MORE focus on conforming than actual academics. Do you wish to see this cycle grow? I don’t!
Let’s get this information out, let’s educate our officials and media hosts. We simply MUST change the conversation.

I don’t know whether to look at coronavirus as an actual threat or this is the result of something else, or merely a psyop. However, given the nature of such a deadly disease, I do try and remain skeptical and at the same time see how it is being used politically, which is usually not a good sign. In any case, it looks like another person in the US has turned up with coronavirus. This time it’s in California and is a flight attendant. The result is that another county has declared a state of emergency, Orange County.
Mike Adams has the story:
Following San Francisco’s state of emergency declaration yesterday, now Orange County has declared a state of emergency due to the coronavirus, reports Fox 11 out of Los Angeles:
Orange County officials declared a local health emergency Wednesday in response to the coronavirus, which has now infected more than 81,000 people worldwide.
Michelle Steel, chair of the County Board of Supervisors, and board Vice Chair Andrew Do made the announcement at an early afternoon
news conference.
She was quick to note “there are no current incidents reported in the county of Orange,” adding yet more confusion to the pattern that an increasing number of cities and counties are declaring emergencies for a global pandemic the entire establishment media claims will never hit America and is no big deal.
Also from Fix 11 LA:
San Diego County officials declared a local emergency in response to the coronavirus on Feb. 14. Officials there stressed that the declaration was not an indication of a greater risk of contracting the virus locally, only an effort to ensure the county was prepared to respond should an outbreak occur.
The CDC has so far tested just 445 people in the entire United States since day one, a number now being tracked in real-time at Pandemic.news, with links to CDC.gov.
Pandemic.news is also putting together a detailed list of public health departments for all 50 states, along with the number of people being tested in those states. The current number for nearly all states is zero.
KOREAN AIR FLIGHT ATTENDANT WORKING LAX TESTS POSITIVE FOR THE CORONAVIRUS
HOW TO PREPARE YOUR HOME (QUARANTINE) FOR A PANDEMIC
Prepping For The Coronavirus: Hand Washing Is Vital
CBS News out of Los Angeles is now reporting a Korean Air flight attendant has tested positive for the coronavirus after working the LAX flight route, spanning “several flights” out of LAX.
Before being diagnosed with the coronavirus, she worked:
– A flight from Tel Aviv, Israel to Seoul, South Korea
– Multiple flights from Seoul to LAX
It’s not yet known exactly how many passengers were on those flights, but international flights typically carry 300+ passengers on each flight.
The coronavirus fiasco with the Diamond Princess cruise ship — and its ill-fate evacuation charter flights that spread the infection even further — proves the coronavirus is especially adept at infecting people who share enclosed spaces such as ships or airplanes.
IT’S ABUNDANTLY CLEAR THERE IS AN UNCONTROLLED OUTBREAK IN CALIFORNIA RIGHT NOW, AND ONLY 200 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TESTED SO FAR
What we are witnessing here is a steady increase in the number of cities and countries declaring emergencies while claiming there is no emergency.
We are told there are no community outbreaks in California, but according to the state’s Dept. of Health website page on the coronavirus, only “approximately 200 persons have been tested to date.”
Note that California doesn’t even know the exact number, and if it’s anywhere near 200, that’s shockingly small.
More than 8,000 people are currently under self-quarantine in California. Apparently, almost none of them have been tested at all.
It begs the obvious question: How is anyone going to detect coronavirus outbreaks if virtually no one is being tested for the coronavirus in America?
This is all covered in my new podcast below. Hear all podcasts, see the latest CDC numbers, and download audio MP3 files at Pandemic.news:
We’ll see in the coming days if this thing spreads like it is reported to have spread in China. In fact, by the end of this month, we should know whether we are being played by coronavirus or not.

The US Must Not Be Dragged Into Turkey ’ s War In Russia Erdogan ’ s attempts to rebuild the Ottoman Empire by invading Syria have not been going so well .
The Kurds were obviously not a match for Turkey ’ s military machine , lubricated by all the top American technology that the NATO member was able to secure , but now the Islamist butchers are up against the Russians and their allies who also want control of Syria .
The last time Russia went up against Turkey , Putin backed off .
This time though , Russia @ @ @ @ @ @ @ discover its own Vietnam in Syria .
So Erdogan , Turkey ’ s brutal Islamist tyrant is , predictably , trying to drag Europe and the US in this via NATO .
His best weapon is the refugee crisis and he ’ s once again announcing that Turkey will reopen the migrant spigot into Europe .
That ’ s less of a threat to America , but a potent one to Germany , France , and the UK .
But , NATO or not , Erdogan must not be allowed to use the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Syria .
If he wants to rebuild the Caliphate , he should use the treasure of Turkey ’ s failing economy to do it .
Unfortunately , Erdogan has spent a lot of money on lobbyists , and they ’ ve developed a good deal of influence by buying some unlikely folks .
Their influence should be called out , condemned , and resisted .
The failure to do so in the past has been unfortunate .
If Russia and Turkey fight each other in Syria , it ’ s a win-win , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enemies , and their proxies , Sunni and Shiite Jihadists , fighting each other , with possible involvement by Iran .

The US Must Not Be Dragged Into Turkey’s War In Russia
Erdogan’s attempts to rebuild the Ottoman Empire by invading Syria have not been going so well.
The Kurds were obviously not a match for Turkey’s military machine, lubricated by all the top American technology that the NATO member was able to secure, but now the Islamist butchers are up against the Russians and their allies who also want control of Syria.
The last time Russia went up against Turkey, Putin backed off.
This time though, Russia has nothing to lose by letting Turkey discover its own Vietnam in Syria.
So Erdogan, Turkey’s brutal Islamist tyrant is, predictably, trying to drag Europe and the US in this via NATO.
His best weapon is the refugee crisis and he’s once again announcing that Turkey will reopen the migrant spigot into Europe.
That’s less of a threat to America, but a potent one to Germany, France, and the UK.
But, NATO or not, Erdogan must not be allowed to use the US to carve out an empire in Syria. If he wants to rebuild the Caliphate, he should use the treasure of Turkey’s failing economy to do it.
Unfortunately, Erdogan has spent a lot of money on lobbyists, and they’ve developed a good deal of influence by buying some unlikely folks. Their influence should be called out, condemned, and resisted. The failure to do so in the past has been unfortunate.
If Russia and Turkey fight each other in Syria, it’s a win-win, with two sets of America’s enemies, and their proxies, Sunni and Shiite Jihadists, fighting each other, with possible involvement by Iran.
We should sit back, watch, get popcorn, and make it clear that there is no role for America in this fight. No matter who says otherwise.
