Do Americans have Buyer’s Remorse?

Trump Drawing 2

Less than a month into his presidency, Donald Trump has received excellent feedback from the American people. YouGov, ActiVote, Emerson College, Quantus Insights, TIPP insights, Gallup and others have found that nearly half of the public sees the new Trump Administration in a favorable light, with certain polls showing up to a 53% favorability rating.

Joe Biden was polling at all-time lows before leaving office. The American people had no confidence in government or progressive policies that drastically derailed the average man’s quality of life in the past four years. The “progressive” woke agenda shoved down our throats FAILED. Bidenomics coupled with soaring inflation, a multiplying public sector, and reckless government spending did not go unnoticed. America was forced to openly fund a proxy war abroad as our own borders were left unprotected. Globalist AMERICA LAST policies failed. The people were not certain if we even had a president with Biden’s barefaced mental decline.

Biden Secon Term

Trump hit the ground running to undo countless policies implemented by Joe and his handlers. During his first term, he signed a total of 220 executive orders. In the past two and a half weeks, Donald Trump pushed through 54 executive orders and revoked 91 of Biden’s issued orders. No president since Truman has signed so many orders in their first 100 days.

Emerson College Polling, for example, found that 52% of Americans believe the US is now on the right track. It is nearly unheard of for over half of the population to be in agreement.

“The shift is rooted in a flip of Republican perception and lessening of independents who say the country is on the wrong track,” Executive Director of Emerson Polling Spencer Kimball said. “Earlier this month, 70% of Republicans felt the country was on the wrong track, now 87% feel it is headed in the right direction. The share of independents who say the country is on the wrong track decreased from 69% to 53%, while Democrats’ perception that the country is on the wrong track intensified from 62% to 79%.”

The silent MAJORITY feels seen and has a voice. The economy is and will always be the biggest factor in government approval. Trump will quickly lose support if his tariff measures lead to inflation and you can forget it if he actually sent Americans back to the Middle East. We are witnessing the beginning of a paradigm shift which occurs when over 40% of the people support change. Our computer models indicated that this paradigm shift would begin in 2025 and shift to an anti-government stance by 2026 until everything comes to a head in 2029 into the Sixth Wave of 2032.

USAID Granted George Soros’ Organizations $260 million

Soros one world government

USAID awarded $260 million in grants to various organizations linked to George Soros who openly uses his organizations to alter global democracies. It has already been revealed that the alleged nonpartisan agency gave the Democrats 97% of political funding during the last election. It appears that USAID has deeper political influence as it granted millions over the years to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) directly affiliated with Soros and the Open Foundations Societies (OFS).

Our foreign aid has been used to dismantle traditional Western values across the world. USAID provided $90 million to OFS partner East-West Management Institute. “Strengthening democratic societies by fostering collaboration between governments, civil society, and the private sect or to build transparent and accountable institutions,” is its mission statement as the organization is clear on its objectives. The Anti-Corruption Action Centre (ACAC), another OFS partner, has 20.7% of total funding paid for by USAID. Alliance for Open Society International (AOSI) was on the payroll too, and actually sued USAID for demanding that grant recipients adopt an anti-prostitution stance.

Obama Soros

Judicial Watch found that USAID directly funneled $5 million to a OSF branch in Macedonia. The watchdog group filed a 2017 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against USAID to obtain records relating to USAID’s contributions to Soros in Macedonia (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development). The group accused the agency of working to destabilize Macedonia in a move promoted by then-President Obama, whose own mother was actually employed by USAID.

“The U.S. government has quietly spent millions of taxpayer dollars to destabilize the democratically elected, center-right government in Macedonia by colluding with leftwing billionaire philanthropist George Soros, records obtained by Judicial Watch show. Barack Obama’s U.S. Ambassador to Macedonia, Jess L. Baily, has worked behind the scenes with Soros’ Open Society Foundation to funnel large sums of American dollars for the cause, constituting an interference of the U.S. ambassador in domestic political affairs in violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.”

Joe Biden awarded George Soros a Medal of Freedom for his life’s work of destabilizing democracy domestically and abroad. Soros and his many endeavors have been well-documented and publicized. Blatant corruption rubbed in our faces. We have people on the left in every nation, from the US to Romania, declaring that Russia or social media interfered in their elections. NGOs are clearly something that is a grey area as they have been exploited for political purposes using the cover of humanity. The World Health Organization (WHO) uses the premise of health and humanitarian aid, as does the United Nations, USAID, etc. Every globalist conglomerate is supported through government funding.

Republican senators have probed the OSF-USAID connection over the years, but we have not had such transparent information until now, with the emergence of DOGE. Unsurprisingly, the left claims Soros’s ties are uncalled for as USAID was simply funding his NGO affiliates. They claim that USAID was a mere 1% of the federal budget as if a little corruption is OK. Foreign aid is intended for humanitarian purposes, not radical political objectives. USAID has been promoting non-American objectives and values with American-earned dollars. All agencies weaponized by the left must be exposed.

UK Govt Demands Global User Data from Apple

Government Spying on Everything

The UK Home Office is demanding that Apple provide the government backdoor access to users’ encrypted data. Not only are they interested in accessing data on British citizens, but the government has stated it needs access to ALL encrypted iCloud data worldwide on the premise of national security and public safety.

The Home Secretary’s office believes the U.K. Investigatory Powers Act of 2016 legally authorizes law enforcement to obtain communications data on the premise of collecting evidence, as the government has deemed everyone a potential threat. Governments do not want the people to have end-to-end encryption that they cannot access.

The Advanced Data Protection program launched by Apple in 2022 provides users with the ability to safely keep their data. Users must enable the service, but it prevents even Apple from having backdoor encryption keys. Edward Snowden warned that the British Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) and NSA successfully hacked all iPhones, Androids, and Blackberry devices. The FBI in the United States tried to prevent Apple from launching this program during Trump’s first term, stating it prevented them from properly investigating crimes. The FBI also demanded that Apple provide it with backdoor access back in 2016 after the 2015 release of the iOS 9 that the government could not easily access.

US intelligence cited the San Bernadino mass shooting incident as an example of why the government must have access to user data. One of the shooters owned an iPhone 5C and the FBI and NSA claimed it could not access the device. The US government and Apple battled in court over the FBI’s insistence that Apple create “GovtOS” to override any encryption measures. The government attempted to use the All Writs Act to force Apple into compliance.

applesilver

The legal battle came to a halt in March 2016 when the FBI stated it found a way to bypass Apple’s encryption. Former FBI Director James Comey confirmed that the government purchased a hacking tool from a third party but offered no details. The government no longer needed Apply to comply. By 2020, it was estimated that law enforcement used said tool to access over 2,000 devices. But Apple continued to improve its encryption measures since then.

Governments everywhere are becoming more authoritarian as sentiment changes and anti-government sentiment grows. Messaging devices, social media, and any platform where people can freely connect must be under government control. The UK is part of the Five Eyes (FVEY) alliance with the US, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada. If one gains access to ALL user data, rest assured that the other four will also have access. Snowden warned the public of this back in 2013. There are programs such as TEMPORA that permit UK and US intelligence to intercept communications through undersea fiber-optic cables. There have been ongoing programs aimed at obtaining data access without the need for warrants or surveillance laws. Whether Apple or any tech company complies is not really of concern, as the government can and will find a way to spy on citizens worldwide.

Store Nothing in the Cloud – EVER!!!!!!!!!

2025_02_09_16_23_19_U.K._orders_Apple_to_let_it_spy_on_users_encrypted_accounts_The_Washington_Po


The Washington Post reported Friday that the United Kingdom’s deep state has demanded that Apple create a back door for them to retrieve all the content any Apple user worldwide has uploaded to the cloud—what would be an unprecedented erosion of online privacy and civil liberties. This works because once the UK seizes your data, they can hand that to the Feds in the states, and your Constitutional rights are NOT violated because the US government did not illegally seize it without a warrant.

Starmer George III

The American Revolution Was Over This Very Issue

And Starmer’s Government is Doing What King George III Did

I store NOTHING in the cloud – EVER!!!!! Why? Because the government can order them to turn over whatever they want without your knowledge. Since they merely store it, they turn it over without blinking an eye. They have NO CONSTITUTIONAL interest in whatever it might be. When they then create laws like they have on child pornography that the mere possession is a crime and they do not need to prove that you actually obtained it or from where, if they claim you had it in the cloud, that would be it. You do not even get to pack your bags or bring a toothbrush.

Digital Cloud

Under no circumstances ever store ANYTHING in the cloud, for you have no constitutional rights, and they can claim whatever they desire. They can put stud=ff in your account and send you to prison, saying it is yours and no judge will listen to you – EVER! The Washington Post reported that the British government’s undisclosed order was issued last month. It requires Apple to give officials blanket capability to view fully encrypted material. This means that Apple MUST assist British authorities on command. The Post noted that the access sought by the UK “has no known precedent in major democracies.”

The LEFT only cares about themselves, and if you dare to resist, you must be guilty. The Starmer government is destroying civilization, crumbling the very basic foundation of liberty. They want something – how dare you say no!!!!!!!!!!!!! The LEFT is ruthless, and this is how they destroy everything. Biden, when he was president, targeted guns with the end goal of disarming America entirely. He has stated: “No amendment to the Constitution is absolute.” The fundamental objective is to compel everyone to register every gun so they can enter your house without a warrant to seize your weapons.

The Fourth Amendment declares,

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

Otis-James

James Otis (1725-1783)

The entire American Revolution was born over illegal searches by the king. It is very sad that Biden and the Democrats have no respect for the Constitution whatsoever. John Adams, Second President, listened to the four-hour speech of the defense lawyer James Otis (1725-1783), who argued against the king’s Writs of Assistance in February 1761 that allowed the government to search whatever they suspected for any reason arbitrarily. History repeats. This is precisely what the Democrats are arguing before the Supreme Court to eliminate the Fourth Amendment. This is devastating to human rights and the very idea of a free society of “We the People.” It is a terrible day we fac,e and this is why I say republics are the worst form of government. Biden never said anything about these objectives. He gets people to vote for him on a false agenda, no different than a fund manager giving a false report claiming he made 300% last year when he really lost 50%. This is outright FRAUD!

Otis argued that the Writs of Assistance, which required no probable cause, placed “the liberty of every man in the hands of every petty officer.” This was in February 1761 in Boston, and the famous debate in which it occurred was perhaps the most prominent event, which inaugurated the resistance of the colonies to the oppressions of the mother country. “Then and there,” said John Adams, “then and there was the first scene of the first act of opposition to the arbitrary claims of Great Britain. Then and there, the child Independence was born.” History indeed repeats. The tyranny of the Biden Administration is unfolding, as was the case under King George III.

Here are a few excerpts from that famous speech of James Otis that so moved John Adams and inspired the birth of the American Revolution.

I will to my dying day oppose, with all the powers and faculties God has given me, all such instruments of slavery on the one hand and villainy on the other as this Writ of Assistance is. It appears to me the worst instrument of arbitrary power, the most destructive of English liberty and the fundamental principles of law, that ever was found in an English law-book…  

The writ prayed for in this petition, being general, is illegal. It is a power that places the liberty of every man in the hands of every petty officer. I say I admit that special Writs of Assistance, to search special places, may be granted to certain persons on oath. But I deny that the writ now prayed for can be granted…

In the first place, the writ is universal, being directed “to all and singular justices, sheriffs, constables, and all other officers and subjects”; so that, in short, it is directed to every subject in the King’s dominions. Everyone with this writ may be a tyrant; if this commission be legal, a tyrant in a legal manner, also, may control, imprison, or murder any one within the realm.   In the next place, it is perpetual; there is no return. A man is accountable to no person for his doings. Every man may reign secure in his petty tyranny, and spread terror and desolation around him, until the trump of the Archangel shall excite different emotions in his soul. In the third place, a person with this writ, in the daytime, may enter all houses, shops, etc., at will, and command all to assist him. Fourthly, by this writ not only deputies, etc., but even their menial servants, are allowed to lord it over us…  

One of the most essential branches of English liberty is the freedom of one’s house. A man’s house is his castle; and whilst he is quiet, he is as well guarded as a prince in his castle. This writ, if it should be declared legal, would totally annihilate this privilege. Custom-house officers may enter our houses when they please; we are commanded to permit their entry. Their menial servants may enter, may break locks, bars, and everything in their way; and whether they break through malice or revenge, no man, no court can inquire. Bare suspicion without oath is sufficient. 

Let me make something  VERY clear.  To enter your home without a warrant means they do not have to claim there is probable cause that you even have anything.  What Starmer has decreed is precisely what started the American Revolution. The LEFT is always ruthless, for they constantly claim they are the victims of anyone who has more than they do,

China Implements 15% Tariff on US Coal


Posted originally on Feb 7, 2025 by Martin Armstrong 

Trade War 2

China is hitting back with 15% tariffs on US coal. America sent 11.6 million tons of coal to China, with 6.46% of all US coal imports flowing into China. Climate zealots are cheering the move, and those on the far left are pleased that this will disproportionately hurt red states.

The majority of the coal exported to China from the US came from West Virgina (6 million tons). West Virginia generated 14% of all coal production in the nation, but sends a larger share to China. Wyoming is the leading coal producing state, accounting for 41.2% of production. Pennsylvania accounts for 6.7%, and Illinois, while not a red state, generated 6.3%. Kentucky is another mass producer, accounting for 5% of all US coal.

Could China be targeting red states specifically? Perhaps. Canada outright intended to do so to hurt Trump’s supporters. China does not heavily rely on the US for coal as it purchases most of its coal from Australia, Indonesia, Russia, and Mongolia. Australia is the world’s leading supplier of coal coming in at 33.7%, while America only produces about 7%.

The largest importer of US coal is none other than India. India has been the main middleman in these sanctions and tariff battles from Russia to China. India received 28.2 mnth in the first 11 months of 2024, marking an 8% annual increase. China upped their purchases of coal from India by 54% last year on an annual basis.

These tariffs and sanctions are completely counterproductive. China and the US were strong trade partners and, more important than goods, the US could rely on China to buy its debt. Those days are long gone as the two have become economic enemies.

Women’s Sports Saved

In the latest piece of common sense legislation, Donald Trump signed the “No Men in Women’s Sports” executive order in what should be hailed as a victory for women’s rights. Naturally, the left is not cheering this move as a milestone for female athletes who have been forced to compete with biological males. “The war on women’s sports is over,” the president declared to the nation.

The Biden Administration attempted to dismantle Title IX and force women to compete with biological males who began to dominate them in every field.

Men have 10X the testosterone of women. Those who are taking estrogen still have an advantage. A male athlete has more muscle mass than a female athlete, allowing them to have a higher capacity for hypertrophy. Men have a higher basal metabolic rate as well, allowing them to lose weight quicker and that muscle mass to body weight ratio enables them to be faster on their feet. Male athletes have 4% to 12% body fat, compared to female athletes, who have 12% to 23%. Women have smaller hearts (physically) than men, and their hearts must pump faster during exercise. Women also have fewer red blood cells than men, enabling them to absorb oxygen at a higher rate. Men are larger overall, with wider chests and longer limbs. Male athletes clearly have an advantage, which is why no one expected women to compete against men until the trans agenda exploded in our faces.

Women simply cannot compete against men. We have seen boxing matches even where biological men brutally beat women and claimed a victory. We have seen biological males compete at the bottom of their sport only to reach the top when competing as women. These biological men have shattered records and taken over women’s sports. Female athletes have been prohibited from speaking out or voicing concerns for fear of being canceled by the woke mob. There were no checks and balances or consideration for WOMEN athletes.

The Senate must still vote on the Protection of Women and Girls Sports Act to prevent biological males from competing against young girls in school. This is outright dangerous and shameful.

Women exist! We finally live under an administration that permits the existence of WOMEN. XX or XY – there should be no controversy over the truth.

Argentina Evacuates WHO

President Javier Milei of Argentina was the first world leader to speak out against the globalist agenda. Milei took the stage of Davos last year to explain the true cost of socialism. He showed by example how swiftly a nation in economic despair could recover by diminishing the public sector, embracing free trade, and permitting the business cycle to operate without blocks. Milei has now announced that Argentina will leave the World Health Organization.

Let us not forget that the World Health Organization (WHO) was seen as the Vatican of public health a few short years ago when we enabled it act as a leader in the pandemic response. Milei declared that the WHO caused significant economic damage by encouraging “endless quarantines,” and is encouraging other world leaders to rethink their place in the organization. “It is urgent to rethink from the international community why supranational organizations exist, funded by all, that do not meet the objectives for which they were created, engage in international politics, and seek to impose themselves above member countries,” his official press release states.

Argentina does not receive funding from the WHO. Yet, they were helping to fund the $6.9 billion agency and paid out between $8 million and $9 million annually. Argentina’s exit has far less of an impact than America’s. The money is less of a factor than the CONTROL that the WHO, and its sole leading philanthropist donor, has over members.

The United Nations and WHO are global conglomerates composed of unelected authoritarians who want to push a single agenda throughout the world. They use the premise of health and public safety to enact universal rules everyone must abide by. The agency has even declared the need for a global tax to help their causes. Milei stated that leaving the who “reaffirms our path towards a country with sovereignty also in health matters.”

Will other nations wake up? Italy’s deputy prime minister, Matteo Salvini, proposed leaving the WHO, but President Giorgia Meloni has yet to comment. Perhaps when more information comes out about the true nature of COVID-19 and the accompanying regulations, other nations will realize that the WHO serves no purpose but to meddle in democracy on the premise of health.
