Goodbye, America
We no longer have a Constitution.
July 2021. A month that will live in infamy. If there is such a thing as “history” in the Biden–Orwell–Soros omni-dictatorship, July 2021 will mark the month that the Constitution, the “greatest work ever thrown off by the hand and mind of man,” as Gladstone put it, was thrown into the Ministry of Truth Memory Hole.
It was put into the “History Erase” well. A bottomless pit.
In this month, actually starting with the month before, that the superpowers of the tech world, Google, YouTube, Amazon, Twitter, Facebook, and Yahoo, admitted to working with the Biden/NKVD administration to suppress free speech.
For months now, we had known that the tech powers were watching us and suppressing any dissident speech against the current administration. I have seen it up close and personal. But what was argued was that the First Amendment to the Constitution protected us only against Congress and the executive branch suppressing free speech. It did not protect us from private enterprises, even very large private enterprises like Amazon or Google or Facebook, keeping tabs on citizens and shutting them out of the internet-sphere if they expressed views contradicting the views and policies of the Biden–Harris–Big Tech Party.
True, there was one big case involving a large steel company suppressing free speech by its workers, and the Supreme Court ruled that such a big company suppressing free speech on its company properties was indeed a violation of the First Amendment. But that was rare indeed.
Now, in the year 2021, the iron curtain has come down hard. With Big Internet Tech and the White House now admittedly colluding to identify and suppress dissidents, even completely nonviolent dissidents, we no longer have a Constitution.
There is just one big corporate–government–IngSoc superstate running everything. Goodbye, America. The GOP, with 50 senators, does nothing. The state legislatures, by far a majority GOP, and the spineless Supreme Court do nothing. And so goodbye to the greatest experiment in the history of the world.
When the Constitutional Congress ended in the late 18th century, as Ben Franklin was walking out, an onlooker said, “What do we have, sir? A republic or a monarchy?”
Franklin answered, “A republic. If you can keep it.”
God help us.
An Intel Committee Congressman Who Pushed The Russia Collusion Hoax Is Invested In Chinese Communist Party-Led Companies
Democratic Representative Peter Welch – who has called for a “full-scale no holds barred investigation” into the Trump 2016 campaign’s non-existent links to the Russian government – is invested in several Chinese Communist Party-owned companies, The National Pulse can exclusively reveal.
The eight-term Member of the House of Representatives is a member of the Permanent Sub Committee on Intelligence, and the Committee on Energy and Commerce. He also sits on the Defense Intelligence and Warfighter Support subcommittee.
Despite holding these critical national security positions, Rep. Welch (D-VT) has purchased shares in companies owned by America’s most dangerous adversary: the Chinese Communist Party.
Mao Jones Industrial.
Congressman Welch’s most recent financial disclosure (published in full, below) reveals on March 15th, 2019 he purchased shares of a value up to $15,000 in two exchange-traded funds (ETF): KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A ETF and KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF.
The 2020 disclosure also reveals he received dividends from both funds.
The KraneShares MSCI ETF is “co-managed by Bosera Asset Management,” a Chinese Communist Party-linked investment firm that manages part of the country’s National Social Security Fund. At the time of publication, the fund’s primary investments include state-owned companies such Kweichow Moutai and Wuliangye Yibin. Competitors to American companies, such as China’s top electric vehicle battery maker Contemporary Amperex Technology Co Ltd (CATL), also make up the ETF.
Companies comprising Welch’s other Chinese government-linked investment – KraneShares CSI ETF – include Chinese social media and technology platforms that routinely censor users on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party. Tencent, which has been flagged by the U.S. State Department as a “tool of the Chinese government,” accounts for the largest investment of the fund.MUST READ: ‘China Was Correct’: Biden Advisor Applauds CCP-Style ‘Monitoring And Speech Control’ of Speech.
Tencent has “no meaningful ability to tell the Chinese Communist Party ‘no’ if officials decide to ask for their assistance” and provides “a foundation of technology-facilitated surveillance and social control” as part of the Chinese government’s broader crusade “to shape the world consistent with its authoritarian model,” the State Department also notes.
Welch was a vocal proponent of the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy, posting a highlight of a House floor speech to his YouTube Channel entitled “Rep. Welch Urges Congress to Investigate Trump Ties To Russia.”
“There is evidence of Trump campaign officials having direct contact with Russian officials, and we know Russia hacked the DNC files and doled out stolen information with the goal of aiding the Trump campaign. So the question is: what is the Russian connection,” he asserted before calling for a “no holds barred investigation of the links between the Trump campaign and Russian officials.”
“There is a mountain of evidence we cannot ignore,” he falsely added before demanding “investigate now; investigate fully.”
The news will raise questions as to the propriety of U.S. law makers investing in firms and funds managed by the Chinese Communist Party and its members, and whether intelligence committeemen should be removed from their roles as a result.
Left-wing political activists demanded Marjorie Taylor-Greene was denied committee roles over some tweets she sent several years ago. They also agreed Rep. Gaetz should be dropped from his committees over a now four-month-old “sex trafficking” allegation that has yielded no accusers and no charges.

Ben Carson: Critical Race Theory Is About Creating Division and Strife That Allows Control
Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson slammed the teaching of Critical Race Theory to children during a speech at Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit on Sunday.
“Critical race theory, the 1619 Project, what is that really about? It’s about dividing people. It’s about creating the kind of division and strife that allows control. We’ve all heard the phrase, ‘divide and conquer.’ That’s what it’s about,” he said.
He said kids should be taught that slavery was not unique to the United States, but that the U.S. is unique in that it fought a civil war to end it.
“Slavery is not unique to the United States of America,” he said. “There’s been slavery since there’s been societies in the world and today there are more slaves in the world than there were in 1863 when the Emancipation Proclamation was put forth.”
“It was a horrible, horrible institution, but we are not unique in that sense. We were unique in another sense — we were willing to fight a civil war to stop it. That makes us very unique. And that’s what we should be teaching our children,” he said.
“Yes, it was horrible, but that we had enough people with the moral rectitude to recognize that this was not something that we could stand for no matter what the economic gains were, and there were people who were willing to give their lives to stop such a horrible institution from flourishing in our country,” he added.
Carson also slammed other things kids are being taught today in schools, particularly about coronavirus, and that they must wear masks otherwise they could kill their grandparents.
“And can you imagine the poor little children these days? You gotta wear a mask to go to school. Even when you’re very young and you’re learning how to look at people’s facial expressions and correlate that to what they’re saying. Now you can’t even look at their facial expressions — that’s a big sociological problem,” he said.
“And then you’re told you may be carrying some horrible disease and even though you may not be sick you might give it to your grandmother and she might die. Well guess what, unfortunately, grandmothers do die. But now you got this kid feeling guilty that somehow he’s responsible for it,” he said.
Carson said on top of that, if the kid is white, they are taught that they and their ancestors created all the problems in society and that they are horrible people, and if they are a minority, they are permanent victims — all while they are trying to develop a self-image.
“What would that do to a young person? And if that’s not enough, you may not be a girl or a boy. Now how are you supposed to develop an appropriate self image with all of this coming at you?” he asked rhetorically.
Talk radio host challenges disqualification in California recall
The official list of who’s running in California’s recall election of Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom remained unsettled Sunday, with conservative talk radio host Larry Elder maintaining he should be included and state officials giving no details as to why he wasn’t.
Secretary of State spokeswoman Jenna Dresner said all candidates who didn’t qualify were told why, but a spokesperson for Elder’s campaign said they did not receive any notification.
The spokesperson, Ying Ma, said Elder submitted voter signatures from three counties and the campaign assumed the state hadn’t finished adding them together. Candidates must pay a nearly $4,200 filing fee or submit 7,000 signatures.
Though Ma said the campaign expected the issue to be resolved Monday, Dresner said “any changes to the list at this point would be through court order.”
When Elder announced his candidacy July 12, he instantly became one of the most recognizable Republicans in the field given his years on talk radio and appearances on Fox News and was viewed as a candidate who could further energize GOP voters.
Though Elder is likely to excite many voters, most Republicans are unlikely to stay home if he’s not on the list, said Jack Pitney, a professor of political science at Claremont McKenna College.
“I think Republicans are going to show up because they hate Newsom, not because they are particular fans of any of the replacement candidates,” Pitney said.
Among other candidates, former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer‘s campaign was in a dispute with state officials over whether he could be listed as the city’s “retired” mayor and YouTube creator Kevin Paffrath said he planned to sue to get his YouTube nickname on the ballot. Meanwhile, Caitlyn Jenner, the Olympian-turned-reality-TV-star, was reportedly in Australia filming a reality show, though she tweeted Friday she and her campaign team are “in full operation.”
The list of 41 candidates released Saturday by the state lacked the panache of the more than 100 candidates who ran in California’s last recall of a governor in 2003. But it included a range of candidates from the anonymous to the famous, including an entertainer known for putting herself on Los Angeles billboards in the 1980s and others with eye-catching names, like deputy sheriff Denver Stoner, and Nickolas Wildstar, who lists himself as a musician/entrepreneur/father.
The list includes 21 Republicans, eight Democrats, one Libertarian, nine independents and two Green Party members. Ballots will start going on next month in the mail, and the official election date is Sept. 14.
Each candidate is listed with a job title or other descriptor, but they are not allowed to use the word “former.” Faulconer‘s campaign requested he be listed as San Diego‘s “retired” mayor, which state officials are now disputing, Faulconer spokesman John Burke said. He left the office in 2020, and reference to his prior role would help boost his name identification.
Paffrath said he plans to sue after he was denied being allowed to list himself as Kevin “Meet Kevin” Paffrath on the ballot, which includes his YouTube name. He noted another candidate was cleared to run as Chauncey “Slim” Killens, who lists himself as a retired correctional officer.
No Democrat with political stature decided to run. Polls have shown Newsom well positioned to win. But should he lose in an upset, there would be no established Democrat among replacement candidates, potentially opening the way for a Republican to take the seat.
Voters will be sent a ballot with two questions: Should Newsom be recalled, and who should replace him. If more than half of voters say “yes” to the first question, then whoever on the list of potential replacements gets the most votes is the new governor of the nation’s most populous state. With numerous candidates and no clear front-runner, it’s possible the someone could win with less than 25% of the votes.
The push to oust Newsom is largely rooted in frustration with long-running school and business closures during the pandemic that overturned daily life for millions of Californians. But many voters aren’t paying attention, and there were no new candidates who emerged Saturday who appeared to have the potential to reorder the trajectory of the race.
According to the secretary of state’s office, candidates who have filed the required paperwork include:
– Paffrath, 29, who gives financial advice to his 1.7 million YouTube subscribers. The Democrat says his lack of “political baggage” is a good thing. His proposals include building underground tunnels for new roadways and cutting income taxes.
– Angelyne, the only one-name candidate running on the ballot, is an entertainer who gained fame in Los Angeles in the 1980s by buying billboard space to advertise her name and image. She‘s listed as “no party preference” and her platform includes an annual masquerade ball where citizens dress up like the governor, an official Bubble Bath Day, and “rehab for politicians.”
– Jeff Hewitt, 68, is a Riverside County supervisor. He wrote in The Orange County Register that he was entering the race because “this state no longer accommodates dreams, fosters ideas or solves problems.” He argues the state needs a new approach and is running as a Libertarian.
– Joel Ventresca, 69, is a Democrat though says he’s further to the left than Newsom, whom he called a “corporate, establishment, insider Democrat.” Ventresca’s main campaign platform is providing free health care and education “cradle to grave” for everyone in California. He retired in 2018 from the San Francisco International Airport, where he held multiple roles.
– Sam Gallucci, 60, a Republican, is a former technology executive who is senior pastor at Embrace! Church in Oxnard, California. He also runs services that provide assistance for at-risk women and children and migrants. In his tech career, he rose through the corporate ranks to become an executive vice president and general manager for software maker PeopleSoft, which Oracle acquired for $10.3 billion in 2004.
– Caitlyn Jenner, 71, is a lifelong Republican trying to parlay her celebrity into a surprise win. She won the men’s decathlon gold medal at the 1976 Olympics, married into the Kardashian family and with them became reality TV stars, and came out as transgender in 2015. She has described herself as a fiscal conservative who is liberal on social issues. But she’s proven gaffe-prone in interviews and hasn’t released any significant policy proposals.
– John Cox, 66, was the Republican nominee for governor in 2018 and lost to Newsom in a landslide. This time around the multimillionaire businessman has displayed a showman’s instincts, campaigning with both a Kodiak bear and a giant ball of trash. He‘s long sought public office. He‘s sought numerous political offices including U.S. House and Senate as well as president..
– Doug Ose, 66, is a multimillionaire businessman and former Republican congressman who represented a Sacramento-area district from 1999 to 2005. Ose says he’s ready to work across party lines to reopen schools and get the economy back at full strength. He calls Sacramento broken, pointing to the homeless crisis, climbing gas taxes and increasing crime rates. He briefly ran for governor in 2018.
– Jacqueline McGowan, 46, a Democrat, is a former stockbroker turned cannabis policy reform advocate. She’s running to bring attention to what she calls a crisis in the legal cannabis market, which has struggled to get on its feet amid heavy regulation and taxes while facing stiff competition from the thriving underground market. She would slash pot taxes and push communities that have not set up local markets to open the door for legal sales.
– Kevin Faulconer, 54, is a Republican who was twice elected mayor of Democratic-leaning San Diego and has long been seen as a potential statewide candidate, given his centrist credentials in strongly Democratic California. He‘s presented himself as a problem-solver and has touted his work keeping homeless encampments off streets while they spread unchecked in Los Angeles and San Francisco.
– Steve Chavez Lodge, 62, is a retired homicide detective and small business owner. He gained notoriety when he got engaged to reality TV personality Vicki Gunvalson, who appeared on the “Real Housewives of Orange County” for 15 years. The Republican says “California is completely broken” and is promising to “get government out of our lives … and out of our wallets.” He also has served on local government commissions.
– Kevin Kiley, 36, is a Republican state assemblyman from the Sacramento area who emerged as a favorite among GOP volunteers who gathered petition signatures for the recall. He built a reputation as a strong conservative and one of Newsom‘s most vocal critics.
Families who lost loved ones in 9/11 attacks are furious at pundits saying Capitol riots were worse than Sept. 11: ‘Dehumanizing our families for political gain’
Several left-wing commenters have dared to make the brash comparison between the terrorist attacks that rocked the nation on September 11, 2001, with the riots on January 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol. Some left-leaning pundits went so far as to proclaim that the Capitol riots were more dangerous than the 9/11 terror attacks that killed nearly 3,000 Americans and the more than 1,000 New Yorkers are believed to be inflicted with cancers related to the World Trade Center attack. The brazen comparison has incensed families of those who lost loved ones from the deadliest attack on American soil.
Democratic lawmakers, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), have called for a “9/11-style” commission to investigate the Capitol riot.
ABC News political analyst Matthew Dowd said the Capitol riot was “worse than 9/11.”
“To me, though there was less loss of life on Jan. 6 – Jan. 6 was worse than 9/11 because it’s continued to rip our country apart and give permission for people to pursue autocratic means,” Dowd claimed during an appearance on the left-wing cable network MSNBC.
Dowd then claimed, “I think we’re in the most perilous point in time since 1861 and the advent of the Civil War.” far-left MSNBC host Joy Reid agreed, “I do too.”
Lincoln Project co-founder Steve Schmidt agreed with Dowd that the Jan. 6 Capitol riot was worse than the 9/11 terror attacks that ignited multiple wars, where thousands of U.S. troops died.
“He couldn’t be more right,” Schmidt said of Dowd’s assessment. “The 1/6 attack for the future of the country was a profoundly more dangerous event than the 9/11 attacks. And in the end, the 1/6 attacks are likely to kill a lot more Americans than were killed in the 9/11 attacks, which will include the casualties of the wars that lasted 20 years following.”
The Defense Department estimates 2,442 U.S. troops have been killed and 20,666 have been wounded in the war since 2001, as well as 3,800 U.S. private security contractors who have been killed, according to an Associated Press report from April.
Huffington Post White House correspondent S.V. Dáte said the Capitol riots were “1000 percent worse” than the 9/11 attacks that flew passenger-filled airliners into the Twin Towers in New York City, another into the Pentagon in Washington, D.C, and a fourth commercial plane that was likely intended to be smashed into the White House or the U.S. Capitol; the fourth suicide attack was thwarted by brave passengers, causing the plane to crash near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
“The 9/11 terrorists and Osama bin Laden never threatened the heart of the American experiment,” Dáte stated. “The 1/6 terrorists and Donald Trump absolutely did exactly that. Trump continues that effort today.”
Families of 9/11 victims vehemently disagree, and are outraged that such a comparison would even be made for political gain. Retired New York Deputy Fire Chief Jim Riches is offended by those who say that the Capitol riots were worse than 9/11. Riches’ son, Jimmy, was among the 343 New York firefighters who perished at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.
“Are they kidding me? 3,000 people died, plus we have more people dying from the air that was down there,” Riches told Fox News. “They’re comparing it to score points politically. The families are really [angry]. When I talk to them, when they compare it to that, they find that outrageous.”
Debra Burlingame lost her brother during the Sept. 11 attacks. He was one of the pilots of American Airlines Flight 77, which was hijacked by terrorists and crashed into the Pentagon.
“It’s unfortunate because we’re coming up in the 20th anniversary,” Burlingame said. “There are a lot of young people who have no living memory of 9/11 … When you have all these comparisons and analogies, which are inflated and ridiculous, it minimizes what actually happened, and that’s what’s happening here. It’s a deliberate ploy.”
Burlingame penned a Wall Street Journal op-ed about the offensive comparisons, and wrote, “It is deeply offensive and sad that the brutal and harrowing memories of the worst terrorist attack in American history are being deployed by political partisans.”
Steven Schlag died in the World Trade Center, and his cousin Joe Connor says the comparisons are being made to “dehumanize our families for political gain.”
“I guess they call it gaslighting,” Connor said. “They can say these things that will make people believe that these riots were worse than the worst thing that happened on American soil. Either they’re ignorant or they’re just really devious and clever, and you can put nothing past them, because if you’re willing to lie to that degree … It’s a disturbing trend to me.”
“I saw people jumping out. I saw the sides of the buildings explode. I saw papers floating in the wind, and I tried to call my cousin,” Connor, who saw the Twin Towers fall, said. “No one picked up … The terror, the carnage, the horror of 9/11, 20 years ago. They’ve forgotten or they think the rest of us have forgotten.”
