Trump Ad Responding to Mara-A-Lago Raid Is the Best Political Ad You’ve Seen in Years

Biden and his deep state cronies may have just handed Donald Trump the presidency.

Thanks to the FBI’s Mar-A-Lago raid, Americans now have the best motivation to vote for Trump in 2024 — righteous indignation.

FBI agents raided Trump’s resort in Palm Beach, Florida, on Monday to search for any classified documents that Trump took with him after he left the White House.

Apparently, instead of just asking Trump for the documents, the Biden administration thought it best to treat the former president like a no-good criminal.

In response to the raid, conservatives, Republicans and others have voiced their outrage, and Trump didn’t let the moment go to waste.

The former president capitalized on the raid by releasing an advertisement video on his Truth Social account a mere few hours later — and it’s good.

In fact, it’s likely the best political ad you’ve seen in years.

Titled “A Nation in Decline,” the ad shows Trump giving a speech as inspirational music plays in the background.

After running through the many incredible failures of the Biden administration, Trump offers a glimmer of hope to those watching.

Would you support Trump if he were to run in 2024?
Yes: 98% (95 Votes)
No: 2% (2 Votes)

“Soon we will have greatness again. It was hard-working patriots like you who built this country, and it is hard-working patriots like you who are going to save our country. There is no mountain we cannot climb. There is no summit we cannot reach. There is no challenge we cannot meet. There is no victory we cannot have,” Trump said in the ad.

“We will not bend. We will not break. We will not yield ever, ever, ever. We will never give in, we will never give up and we will never ever back down.”

“As long as we are confident and united, the tyrants we are fighting do not stand even a little chance. Because we are Americans and Americans kneel to God and God alone, and it is time to start talking about greatness for our country again.”

While the ad doesn’t officially indicate Trump is running in 2024, it hints at as much towards the end by highlighting the following quote: “… the best is yet to come.”

For a minute there, it looked like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis had become a more likely candidate to win the Republican nomination in 2024.

Thanks to Biden, the winds may have just shifted back in Trump’s favor.

Judge Bruce Reinhart Who Signed Warrant to Raid Trump’s Home at Mar-a-Lago Previously Worked for Jeffrey Epstein — Please Help TGP In Our Legal Quest to Get Epstein Client List

Judge Bruce E. Reinhart from the Southern District of Florida reportedly signed off on the warrant to raid President Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago on Monday night.

Joe Biden sent the FBI to raid President Trump’s home in a fishing exhibition.

Via Midnight Rider and Karli Q:
“Judge Bruce E Reinhart, magistrate judge for the Southern District of Florida, used to work for Jeffrey Epstein and signed the warrant to green light FBI raid on Trump.”

The New York Post reported:

Sources tell The Post that Judge Bruce Reinhart approved the warrant that enabled FBI agents to converge on the palatial South Florida estate on Monday in what Trump called an “unannounced raid on my home.”

Reinhart was elevated to magistrate judge in 2018 after 10 years in private practice.

Months after his appointment, the Miami Herald reported that he had represented several of Epstein’s employees in connection with the sex trafficking investigation against the financier.

According to the paper, Reinhart resigned from the South Florida US Attorney’s Office effective on New Year’s Day 2008 and went to work for Epstein’s workers the following day. In 12 years as a federal prosecutor, according to his official biography, Reinhart “managed a docket that covered the full spectrum of federal crimes, including narcotics, violent crimes, public corruption, financial frauds, child pornography and immigration.”

To our readers — In July The Gateway Pundit filed legal action to unseal and identify the global elite on the Jeffrey Epstein Client list.

Raid on President Trump’s Florida home a wake-up call


The Biden administration showed Monday that they really are the most Anti-American, Anti-Constitution presidency in this nation’s history.

The raid on President Trump’s Florida home will go down in history as the day America realized that Marxism has infiltrated our federal government.

Biden used his Justice Department as a weapon against a political opponent.  

Think about that for a moment.  A sitting American president used the DOJ like the secret police to intimidate a political opponent. We’re talking Third World tactics in American politics.

According to the Associated Press, about three dozen FBI agents raided Trump’s Florida home at Mar-a-Lago. The official story is that the agents were searching for classified records believed to be in Trump’s possession from his time in the White House.

In the search, it’s reported the FBI cracked a safe in the home that turned out to be empty.

The question for many is why now for the raid? Is the Biden administration trying to deflect from some other major event? Or was this raid an excuse to plant evidence that would disqualify Trump from running for president in 2024?

One thing is for sure, the left is scared to death of another Trump presidential run. Their desperate actions telegraph that they know he will win if decides to announce.  

The Left has thrown everything at President Trump from the fake Russia collusion scandal to the double impeachments and now to an FBI raid.

Nothing has worked. Former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik thinks that if this raid doesn’t stop Trump from running then assassination could be next step as the left becomes more unhinged in its desperation. 

If you are not already doing so, I would encourage you to pray for the safety of President Trump and pray for God’s wisdom and self-control in your own life as we go through this national nightmare of political rule from a soft junta.

MAGA is dominating the state primaries, the J6 hearings are going nowhere, and this is freaking the Dems out. They need something, anything, to give them an excuse to bring down their murderous power upon Trump supporters.  The Dems want Trump supporters to become so mad that they will resort to violence.  Don’t give them that excuse. 

We are winning. We are beating RINOs in the primaries because we are showing up in overwhelming numbers. We will beat them at the ballot box in 2024 with landslide numbers because Trump has red-pilled us into seeing the level of Marxist infiltration in our government. 

When I say Marxist infiltration this is not for shock value or hyperbole. The actions of the Biden administration and speak louder than their proclamations of keeping us safe. Every Biden-era policy has been anti-Constitutional, anti-liberty, and seeks to break America. 

This raid on a former president is just more piece of evidence of this trend.

Get mad and get even at the ballot box. The left knows they are on the path to the dustbin of history, and they will fight like hell to prevent. You know and I know that their actions will become darker and uglier in the days leading to the midterms and to the 2024 presidential election. But take heart, it is always darkest before the light, and it is that light that has the left scurrying in panic.

Republicans Demand Garland, Wray Testify at Judiciary Committee on Trump Raid


Republicans are demanding that FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland appear before the House Judiciary Committee on Friday to explain the Department of Justice’s actions in raiding former President Donald Trump.

FBI agents executed a search warrant at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago, Florida, residence on Monday, ostensibly in connection with an investigation into the handling of presidential documents. It was the first such raid in the history of the country.

As Democrats and liberal cable pundits celebrated, Republicans were united in their condemnation of what appeared to be an effort to abuse law enforcement to target a member of the opposition and a likely candidate in the next presidential election.

Experts said that the raid appeared excessive, even if it had a legitimate purpose. Critics also noted the fact that Democrats who appeared to have committed misconduct — including President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden — had never been raided.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), the ranking minority member of the House Judiciary Committee, noted that the House would be in session on Friday to vote on the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act,” which passed the Senate on Sunday, that Wray and Garland should use the opportunity to appear before the committee on Friday to explain the extraordinary raid to Congress.

This Friday, we’re going back to vote on this stupid bill … Merrick Garland, Chris Wray, come to the House Judiciary Committee this Friday and answer our questions about this action today, which has never happened in American history. … Why not talk to President Trump and have him give the information that you’re after? This is unbelievable, and understand the history here: One year ago it was Merrick Garland using the Patriot Act against parents. One day ago, it was 87,000 agents in a bill the Democrats passed to go harass Americans from the IRA. And today, we have the raid of a former president’s home? In America? So — heck, we deserve answers now, and this Friday would be a good time.

The ultimate decision to ask Wray and Garland to testify would be up to committee chairman Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY).

The complete Sovietization of the Democrat party


With the wholly illegal and unconstitutional FBI raid on President Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago on Monday, in search of documents the FBI has long had access to, there can no longer be any doubt about the full communization of the American left.

The thorough weaponization and politicization of each of our law enforcement institutions is now undeniable.  The left has crossed Caesar’s Rubicon.

The Democrats are so determined to destroy Trump that they are willing to reveal their true colors: they are all Stalinist communists now.

They’ve just rammed through a nearly $800-billion bill that will obviously exacerbate inflation and will transform the IRS into a Gestapo-like agency, armed and dangerous to all Americans but the very wealthy.

Small businesses that survived the lockdowns will now be stamped out by the higher taxes, audits, and regulations within this destructive bill.

The billions of green agenda requirements in the bill will force us all into energy deficits that will further devastate our already ruined economy and our quality of life.

That is their goal, their endgame. “The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws,” as Tacitus once said.

The globalists have captured every Democrat in Congress, every single one of them.  Chances are that each and every one of them has been bought…by China.  There is not one of them who has put or will put the American people before their own personal power and wealth. 

Every Democrat voted against prohibiting China from buying U.S. farmland.  Every Democrat voted against a ban on selling our gasoline reserves to China; Biden has slashed our strategic reserves.  Every Democrat voted against a bill stating that pregnancy is unique to biological females.  Every Democrat is on board the for the sexualization of very young children, the authorization of pornography in elementary school libraries, and the pharmaceutical and surgical intervention of “gender transition” even for children under twelve.  Democrat-run states seek to mandate gender-identity education for young children.  Biden has made his support of gender “transition” abundantly clear.  They all support unrestricted abortion up to and just after birth; they are in favor of infanticide.

Every Democrat has voted against protecting those who refuse the COVID vaccine.  They voted against stopping the government from monitoring and prosecuting the unvaccinated.  The Democrats approve of the DOJ labeling parents who attend school board meetings as domestic terrorists.  The Democrats all signed on to the entirely Clinton-fabricated Russia hoax.  In short, the American Democrat party is in favor of the destruction of any and all traditional Judeo-Christian American values.  As President Trump remarked the other day, prayer in school is banned, but drag queens are de rigueur.  Our newest Supreme Court justice cannot define the word “woman” because she and her ilk insist that men can become pregnant.  Our left has gone the way of Orwell’s 1984, of Arthur Koestler’s Darkness at Noon.  Our world is upside-down.

While this all began under Barack Obama, the first president to openly display his disdain for America, despite his phenomenal personal success, it escalated throughout the Trump administration among the Deep State operatives determined to destroy his presidency and the already weaponized FBI, CIA, and DOJ.

Under Biden, the criminalization of political opponents has become the order of the day.  We are officially a third-world banana republic without any legitimate leadership.

With the obvious exceptions of the too few good Republicans in Congress (Jim Jordan, Ron Johnson, Matt Gaetz, MTG, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Thomas Massie, John Kennedy, Tom Cotton), most of them are squishes, RINOs without a spine, Kevin McCarthy in particular.

What have the Republican leadership done to stop the horrific abuse of the January 6 prisoners?  Nothing.

They should have refused to do any government business until the prisoners were released or at least given respectable legal defense.  What has been done to those people and their families is as unforgiveable as slavery.  That any of those RINOs voted for Trump’s impeachment, twice, is an unacceptable sign of weakness.  That these Sovietized agencies have been allowed to so misuse their power is not just wrong; it’s well and truly frightening.  We are in 1930s Nazi territory.  Every American should be very afraid of who and what the Democrat party has become.  The Democrats have morphed into a fully Stalinist regime in every way. 

Anyone who has watched the House or Senate hearings at which Christopher Wray, Merrick Garland, and other representatives of the FBI and DOJ appear knows how arrogant and disingenuous this crowd is.  They are evasive and smug.  They believe they are in the catbird seat and can do whatever they want, no matter how unconstitutional and illegal.

But Trump scares them.  His love of America scares them, and his popular support among millions of Americans scares them.  He is an outsider who does not play by their corrupt establishment rules; grease their hands, and they’ll grease yours.  His honesty about how the country is being run scares them.  As Peter Schweizer has exposed in several books, the most corrupt among them — Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, Dianne Feinstein, Mitch McConnell, the Clintons, etc. — care only about their own continued wealth and power.  They could not care less about the millions of middle-class citizens they are about to put out of business with higher taxes and high gas prices, whom they are about to endanger with calculated food shortages, and whom they will surely punish for unacceptable political views if expressed.  They will go well beyond the censorship we’ve all endured and will penalize any forbidden opinions.

This raid on Mar-a-Lago was pure misguided theater, just as the ridiculous and equally misguided J6 committee is theater.  Thoroughly disconnected from reality, the participating Democrats seem to think all this outrageous posturing is going to change the minds of Trump-supporters.  It has not and will not.

Au contraire.

We all remember how much better off we were, how much better off the country was, the world was, under President Trump.  No inflation, no wars, energy independence, low unemployment for all groups.  Wages were up; taxes had been reduced.  We were all better off.  If Trump were still in office, Vladimir Putin would not have invaded Ukraine.  China would not be surrounding Taiwan.  The border would still be closed, and we would not have more than two million unvetted migrants spreading throughout the nation, wreaking havoc on cities unprepared to care for and feed them.  How many among them are sex-traffickers, terrorists, violent gang members, rapists, and pedophiles?  Far too many.  Many American lives will be lost to the consequences of Biden’s open border.

The leftists are exuberant at the news of the raid on Trump’s home.

CNN and MSNBC are ecstatic, as if this will bring Trump down once and for all.  They do not care one bit if it was legal or constitutional.

Well, they should enjoy the moment because the Biden DOJ and FBI have catastrophically overreached this time.  If the absurd COVID restrictions and mandates did not awaken a sleeping giant, this obvious ploy to destroy Trump, again, will.

It may well shock Biden voters who did not realize he would usher in a Sovietized government.

John Steinbeck wrote that fear corrupts — the fear of loss of power.

The left is revealing its hapless desperation and fear of a nationalist, populist citizenry that love its country as founded.

The Democrat party has revealed its evil tendency toward totalitarianism.  Every American should now be well aware that there are two distinct systems of justice in this country: one for conservatives, quite another for favored leftists.  The Clintons, the Pelosis, and the Bidens are among the most corrupt political families in American history.  They and all of their partners have used their positions of power to enrich themselves and must be held countable for their many, many crimes against the American people.  Our media are corrupt, deservedly known for their fake news in service of the far left.  

“All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities.  It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible.” 

—Frank Herbert

Surprise of surprises!  Trump is the least corrupt politician in modern history.

Docs From 2021 Int’l Security Exercise Showed Monkeypox Bio Attack on May 15, 2022

In March 2021, the Nuclear Threat Initiative, a global security organization “focused on reducing nuclear and biological threats imperiling humanity,” joined by members of the Munich Security Conference, conducted an exercise which involved a lethal, global monkeypox pandemic.

In a November 2021 report, NTI looked at the outbreak of the monkeypox virus in the fictional country of Brinia on May 15, 2022, which was the focus of the March exercise. Under their imaginary scenario, “the initial outbreak was caused by a terrorist attack using a pathogen engineered in a laboratory with inadequate biosafety and biosecurity provisions and weak oversight.”

In the table below (which can be viewed on page 10 of the report), NTI divided their discussions into three “moves.”

In the first move, 1,421 cases of the virus resulting in four deaths are reported in Brinia.

By Jan. 10, 2023, seven months later, the virus has spread to 83 countries. There are 70 million cases worldwide, and 1.3 million people have died. Researchers have learned that the virus was engineered to be vaccine-resistant.

By May 10, 2023, 480 million cases have been reported, resulting in 27 million fatalities worldwide.

By December 2023, cases have reached 3.2 billion, and 271 million people have died.

NTI identifies “gaps” between nations’ current levels of pandemic preparedness and what would be necessary to deal with a catastrophe of this magnitude. Naturally, NTI emphasizes an international response coordinated by a supranational organization, such as the World Health Organization.

Have you lost faith in the World Health Organization to keep us safe from another pandemic?
Yes: 100% (11 Votes)
No: 0% (0 Votes)

I’m not saying the recent, very real outbreak of the monkeypox was engineered. On the contrary, all indications are that it’s naturally occurring.

But it is a remarkable coincidence, isn’t it?

And wouldn’t it be every globalist’s dream come true? There’s nothing like a pandemic to force people to surrender their liberties. Just ask the blue state governors.

A new pandemic, as the current one recedes to endemic status, would be every Democrat’s dream come true. We’re less than six months out from a critical election that will determine the second half of the Biden presidency, and prospects are looking pretty dim for the party. But just as COVID-19 tipped the 2020 election, monkeypox, if it really took hold, could sway the midterms. Can lightning really strike twice?

Finally, it’s worth noting that one of the co-chairs of this little exercise is none other than Dr. Ernest J. Moniz, who served as the Department of Energy secretary during the Obama administration.

It’s probably a coincidence as well, but it definitely shows the incestuous nature of the elites — this same group of people seems to run everything and show up everywhere.

The Western Journal has reached out to NTI for a comment on this story.

Gas prices reportedly rose 59% since Biden took office; Dems continue to point fingers at Putin

Get the latest BPR news delivered free to your inbox daily. SIGN UP HERE

(Video: Fox News)

Two commentators went on Fox News on Monday to discuss high gas prices, and debate whether or not it is accurate for President Joe Biden to assign all the blame to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Prices at the pump have been causing a lot of Americans a lot of pain, and assigning blame for them has become a potent political football, with both parties assigning the blame to each other, or to outside circumstances. Democrats, perhaps fearful of voter retaliation in what was already looking like a difficult midterm battle this November, have largely seized on the idea that Putin’s brutal assault on Ukraine is the sole reason for gas prices to be spiking, due to the worldwide ripple effects and instability.

Republicans have taken the opposite approach, and have pilloried Biden’s energy policies as attacking America’s energy sector without actually providing a reasonable alternative.

Matthew Foldi from the Washington Free Beacon, and David Carlucci, a Democratic strategist, went on “Fox [email protected] to talk about the issue.

When asked whether he would admit that prices had been on the rise before Putin’s invasion in February, Carlucci did agree, but added a caveat:

“We’ve seen inflation increase steadily over the past few months, but the invasion of Ukraine has obviously exacerbated the situation. So I think President Biden is right to blame Putin for this price increase. Is it the answer to ALL of the issues with inflation? No.”

Carlucci also agreed that energy independence was a desirable goal: “I think nothing speaks louder of our need for energy independence than this situation that is going on in Ukraine right now.”

Guest host Kevin Corke did note that prices had been increasing for 57 of the past 59 days, though that would still be within the window that Russia’s invasion plans have been made apparent to the world, though outside of the window of the actual start of the most recent phase of the invasion on February 24th (Russia has been illegally on Ukrainian soil since 2014, when it seized Crimea through force, and sponsored militias in the Donbas region).

More recently, gas had jumped 41 cents within a week, as of Monday when the show aired. Corke then went on to assert that prices had risen 59 percent under Biden, and accused Carlucci of making a “specious” argument for pointing out the context and timing of those jumps in relation to Putin’s escalation since last December.

Sharing a graphic on the prices, Corke noted that it’s “up 41 cents from just a week ago and it’s even worse than that, we’re talking much worse if you think about it, gas prices have got up some 59% since Joe Biden took office.”

“So looking at just that number you have to say it is a bit of a specious argument to sort of try to put this all on Vladimir Putin,” he said, teeing up Foldi for a response.

“Well, it is concerning for President Biden that one year in he’s blaming everything from Vladimir Putin to corporations for the consequences of his own actions, right? ” Foldi replied.

“On day one, Biden declared war on American energy, by canceling Keystone XL pipeline, sending the entire oil industry into a tailspin of uncertainty. Why would you ever invest long-term in American energy when, if when Democrats come into the White House, they’ll shut down your pipelines?”

Foldi also noted that Biden has canceled permits for oil and gas drilling, while Democrats in Congress pressured oil companies to stop drilling in America. Foldi also pointed out that after the embargo on Russian oil went into effect, this policy then left Biden scrambling for deals with hostile regimes in Iran and Venezuala to find replacements, since current levels of American production couldn’t compensate for the difference.

Carlucci nevertheless insisted that these were simply the cost of accepting the need to “use less energy” and force some sort of alternative, presumably a reference to “green energy,” though Carlucci didn’t give any details or specifics other than to say the oil industry “has us by the neck.”

“I think the answer is obvious. We as Americans are addicted to gas and oil,” he contended.

“There’s no other way around it. I think President Biden is being honest with the American people and saying, look, we’ve got to change this. We can’t just drill our way out of this. We can’t frack our way out of this,” he continued.

“So we’ve been talking about climate change and climate crisis. This really puts into perspective when gas prices start going up what is the real cost. We start having to do business with Putin, Venezuela, with Iran, and Saudi Arabia, you see who we have to deal with but the reality is we have to deal with ourselves,” Carlucci added. “We have to embrace policies where we use less energy, where we are less dependent on the oil and gas companies that really have us by the neck.”

Corke said he agreed in principle, but noted that working families are being affected now, and need a solution now, and can’t afford expensive alternatives like buying new cars. By the end of the segment, no actual solution that both could agree on was reached.

Blue Cities Are Literal Toilets, and Libs Are OK With That

I used to enjoy comedy road trip gigs to the west coast. Portland was my favorite city, followed by Seattle. I haven’t been there in 10 years, and here is why.

Even as early as 2011, the writing was on the walls of Portland and Seattle. Homeless drug addicts were everywhere, as were their “calling cards.” As I was walking up to a Portland comedy club, I was shocked by the number of homeless people in the park across the street. It looked like a scene from Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” video but in a minefield of human waste.

Portland was always fun, but I couldn’t wait to get back to my home in New York City where homelessness wasn’t much of a problem. Mayor Rudy Giuliani cleaned up the town, Bloomberg kept up the good work, and tiptoeing through piles of human doody wasn’t much of a concern.

I don’t live in New York City anymore. I haven’t done a comedy show in the Big Apple since before the “pandemic.” It isn’t my lack of a vaccine passport that keeps me away; it has more to do with not wanting my pretty face opened with a boxcutter or having my oxfords (not brogues) slathered in street dung.

Eight years of “leadership” by Comrade Bill de Blasio has gutted yet another formerly great American city. Mayor Bloomberg left de Blasio a town that was in great shape. All de Blasio had to do was put the city on cruise control, but that was never his plan. Thanks to him, crime is rampant once again. Crazy, drug-addled homeless people rule the streets. Children have been slashed, women get raped, and people are being murdered in record numbers. If you’re planning on a weekend visit to New York, wear your boots because the sidewalks are once again a minefield of what I call “de Blasio street kabobs.”

If you’re lucky, the homeless will drop trou in a bucket and not on your feet. Welcome to The Big Crapple.

 

What is it with big, blue cities and their willingness to accept human waste on the streets? How and why is this tolerated? I grew up in Detroit in the 1970s. Things weren’t great but we didn’t have “Motor City cob-goblins” all over the sidewalks. I suspect if someone attempted such a launch, a neighborhood man or two would have pummelled the pig. These days, human waste is actually accepted as a part of life by liberals, no matter that kids might well wander into it.

TR International, a worldwide chemical company once based in Seattle, left town in part because they were embarrassed by business associates having to side-step homeless waste.

This is Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Excreta.

Homeless people began carpet-bombing an NYC church back in 2017. #HolyS***

Do bolshie-Americans not realize how dangerous this is? More importantly, do they care? The World Health Organization (WHO) actually has people who study the effects of poor waste disposal. This is what they have to say:

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 2.2 million people die annually from diarrhoeal diseases and that 10% of the population of the developing world are severely infected with intestinal worms related to improper waste and excreta management (Murray and Lopez 1996; WHO 2000a). Human excreta-transmitted diseases predominantly affect
children and the poor.

The Democrats have spent decades pretending to care about the poor. If allowing ankle-deep street feces is a sign of compassion, I’d hate to see their angry side.

Infectious disease expert Dr. Lee Riley conducted a study and determined San Francisco is as filthy as any third-world slum.

The contamination is much greater than communities in Brazil or Kenya or India. Riley notes that in those countries, slum dwellings are often long-term homes for families and so there is an attempt to make the surroundings more livable. Homeless communities in San Francisco, however, are often kicked out from one part of town and forced to relocate to another. The result is extreme contamination.

FACT-O-RAMA! San Francisco budgeted $30 million to clean needles and human droppings in the 2016-2017 fecal fiscal year. Also, it takes roughly 30 minutes to clean every pile of “San Francisco treat” off the sidewalks.

Scattleground California

A 2021 Los Angeles clean-up crew picked up 180 lbs. of human scat and 544 lbs. of urine at L.A.’s Echo Beach. Venice Beach, once a groovy, beatnik beach, has become a human litter box.

FACT-O-RAMA! A 2019 report found that 80% of west coast beaches were contaminated with “biosludge,” which is a nice way of saying … you know.

It’s hard to find compassion for people who continue to vote for pinko politicians and their self-destructive “woke” policies. Leftists continue to support their apparatchik leaders even as their kids march to school through piles of Newsom’s mud-puppies. But hey, at least they aren’t voting for one of those bigoty conservatives who might literally clean up their streets.

“We see poop, we see pee, we see needles, and we see trash,” teacher Adelita Orellana told San Francisco’s NBC affiliate. “Sometimes they ask what is it, and that’s a conversation that’s a little difficult to have with a 2-year old, but we just let them know that those things are full of germs, that they are dangerous, and they should never be touched.”

The west coast is as woke as a methhead in a Red Bull factory, and we all know what happens when people and cities go “woke.”

Will Anything Be Left of the U.S. After Biden Is Done With It?

The Wall Street Journal is exclusively reporting that Saudi Arabia is in talks to deal with China in the yuan instead of the U.S. dollar. The reaction has been a worldwide collective gasp.

Joe Biden’s recent dumping of Afghanistan is just one of the reasons behind the Kingdom’s stepped-up talks with the communist regime.

The overwhelming number of oil deals in the world are done using the U.S. petrodollar. Moving to the yuan, at least in deals with China, which buys 25% of all Saudi oil, will have a huge impact on world markets. It also calls into question the U.S. dollar’s prominence as the world’s reserve currency.

It is hard to underestimate the fiscal calamity that such a possible move could have on the strength of the U.S. dollar and prestige in world markets. Conversely, the potential move to the yuan could elevate China’s currency to new prestige.

The Journal spoke to Gal Luft, a national security expert who’s written about possible “de-dollarization.” Luft said oil markets are the “insurance policy of the status of the dollar as reserve currency. […] If that block is taken out of the wall, the wall will begin to collapse.”

The Journal reported in Tuesday’s edition that “the talks with China over yuan-priced oil contracts have been off and on for six years but have accelerated this year as the Saudis have grown increasingly unhappy with decades-old U.S. security commitments to defend the kingdom.”

The Journal also reported that “the Saudis are angry over the U.S.’s lack of support for their intervention in the Yemen civil war and over the Biden administration’s attempt to strike a deal with Iran over its nuclear program. Saudi officials have said they were shocked by the precipitous U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan last year.”

Bloomberg reported that news of the potential shift caused a price increase in the communist China currency after the news broke on Tuesday.

The rift between Biden and Prince Mohammed has gotten worse. The prince and key emirs refused to take the U.S. president’s calls after Biden’s spike in gas prices became a domestic political liability for him. Though higher prices were always part of Biden’s plan, the president called the Saudis as a hail-Mohammed move to calm angry Americans.

In addition to the other factors that combined to make Joe Biden the Saudi bête noire and gave the Saudis pause about the security commitment to the Kingdom, the business newspaper reported that Biden calling the Kingdom a “pariah” for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi played a role.

The U.S. under President Trump also stepped up oil and gas production to become one of the world’s top oil producers. Once upon a time in the 1990s, Saudi Arabia sold the U.S. two million barrels of crude per day, which dropped over time to 500,000 barrels a day at the end of Trump’s term. Saudi Arabia was still taking Trump’s calls. Biden’s bumbling simply made things worse.

The Saudis also invited Chinese President Xi to a meeting in April.

China has been pushing its yuan petro-currency idea since 2018. The Journal reports that the Saudis, who overwhelmingly use the U.S. petrodollar to do their oil deals, may not switch. But if they do, and the U.S. slides as the world’s reserve currency, who in their right mind would buy America’s debt created with inflated dollars? The Chinese, who own about $1 trillion in America’s treasuries, wouldn’t need us anymore.
