And now, as Mario and Luigi would say, “Let’s-a GO!”
ONE!
This NC school district has "opted out" of posting the Ten Commandments at the high school. Maybe that's because govt only operates by stealing and coveting other people's stuff, so seeing God's prohibitions up there might make some of the "Officials" nervous? LINK!

Florida voters have placed two big questions on their upcoming ballot that would see changes to their state constitution. The first is one that would "legalize" abortion (and would stand contrary to the 14th Amendment's "Equal Protection Clause" of course) and the other would legalize "recreational" marijuana possession. On the latter, the Governor has opted to spend tax money in order to funnel anti-amendment messages through the Department of Education and Dept of Transportation. He literally is having the state use taxpayer money in an attempt to influence the outcome of the vote. Here is background on the two big questions. Link:
Florida's 2024 constitutional amendments: What voters need to know
This year, there's several proposed constitutional amendments, which Floridians must approve by at least 60% to become law of the land.

And here is the issue of the tax-paid ads to stop the pot amendment:
'When we make home visits for domestic violence calls, they're often associated with marijuana use,' said one Florida County Sheriff.

The above is a pretty left-leaning site, but they spell out the government influence problem very well. Here is Reason on it!

Now, the Climate Cult wants to try a new form of "carbon capture" to add to their already insane pipelines and atop their unwarranted climate catastrophe canard. Their answer? BURY TREES! Yep. And notice how this WaPo piece overtly says that temps are "rapidly rising" — which is patently untrue. It sure is good they get to spew this idiocy while we who might offer real information at MRCTV are attacked by NewsGuard and people worldwide are shadow-banned or censored on social media for posting REAL information about things like the lack of any real data to support the Climate Apocalypse fearmongering! Here's their new, brilliant, pseudoscience... If, to you, it reads like a ten-year-old wrote it, join the club, amigo! LINK! Isn't it remarkable that they seem to think that mankind has to engage in "storing" carbon? Just insane...

On the Climate Cult front! As one might have expected, areas hit by Hurricane Helene are reporting... Electric vehicle fires that they simply cannot control. What a great way to make things even more difficult to manage in a storm zone — cars, ready to burst into hard-to-smother infernos! LINK!

And, the Biden Admin is diving on the storm tragedies by, as usual, breaching the Constitution and promising that this $35 TRILLION-IN-DEBT government will spend $2 billion to "strengthen the electric grid". Not only does this assume that there is "a grid" that, magically, falls under federal purview, but it also assumes that all the previous promises about "electric connections" from Biden have been a big, big success. First, let's see the current promise of angelic "electric" awards. LINK!
Biden administration announces $2 billion in funds to strengthen electric grid
The Biden administration on Friday announced $2 billion in funding for projects to strengthen the resilience of the U.S. grid against extreme weather, an increasing concern following two consecutive major hurricanes in the Atlantic. The funding, which will go to 38 projects in 42 states, will be provided through the Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships…

If the Dems take the House in November, they have two bills ready to try to expand voting to illegal aliens and to make it harder for states to handle their own voter rolls. What a surprise!
Democrats eye voting rights bill as first priority in House majority
FREEPORT, N.Y. — A top House Democrat said this week that if the party wins the majority, its first priority in the next Congress will be election integrity — an issue that’s been front-and-center throughout a campaign in which former President Trump has floated baseless claims of voter fraud and laid the groundwork to challenge the […]

Though both of these news sources try to skirt around the problem at the core of this, anyone familiar with what the IDF has at hand for weapons knows that the "intel" on Netanyahu's planned attack on Iran is not "intel" that the US got from spying on Israel, but, instead, is intel that is PROVIDED to Israel by the US to help its military plan, and, possibly, conduct, its attack. The US sources are involved with the telemetry and targeting — of US-provided weapons. Here is the first link:
Purported leaked US intelligence appears to show Israel’s plans for attack on Iran
The documents posted on social media have markings that would indicate that they originated from the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA).

Leaked documents show US intelligence on potential Israel attack on Iran: Report
The United States is increasingly concerned after top secret documents showing Israel‘s plans for a potential retaliatory strike on Iran were leaked to an Iranian Telegram account on Friday. The documents, which have markings showing they are only to be seen by the U.S., United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, describe Israel moving munitions […]
www.msn.com
It's not "US intel ON potential Israel attack" — it's US intel FOR a potential Israel attack. Israel can't go for this kind of attack in any other way than with US assistance, which, of course, is unconstitutional, since the US is not in a declared War...

This stunning story of the former Kuwaiti Minister trying to return to Kuwait, but being held by "authorities" for FOUR DAYS at the airport because he wouldn't let them take "biometric data" is a warning to Americans. In the end, he was forced to leave his HOME nation... LINK! And let's not forget that the TSA is rolling out "biometric" scans in more and more airports. This, from March...

This is going to push numerous energy plants to set expensive "additions" in motion. They should not have to do this because the EPA is not sanctioned by their US Constitution, and the stay they requested is only natural, because the EPA "regulations" on the power plant emissions have no basis in a trial, no basis in any recognition of real harm, and would not be justifiable in any real tort law environment. Clarence Thomas was right to stand against the EPA and for a delay while the case goes through the courts. LINK!

The UK government just handed this man a conviction — for silent prayer. He lost a child to abortion. He was in the news when arrested (link) and now... Here is the situation. He has been found guilty of ..."an act in opposition to abortion". Two years of legal proceedings, and then a trial, and now, he has been hit with a $12K fine, because he PRAYED.
British Courts Find Man Guilty of a 'Thoughtcrime'

British army veteran convicted of praying near abortion clinic
A British army veteran and Christian has been found guilty of praying silently outside of an abortion clinic, facing an almost $12,000 fine over the verdict.

It's perverse to think that the government uses the label "safe zone" for the area around an ABORTION CENTER where they restrict silent prayer. The so-called "safe zone" is not restricted to the street in front of a clinic, either. These "zones" often cover entire city blocks.

This is telling... Not that Trump's fake Christianity is much better, but Harris made sure to display her disdain as flagrantly as she could in that moment. Link!

Zelinskyy is demanding more from the US. He says, "It's either NATO membership, or NUKES." I thought his wife bought some of those on her wild shopping spree in Paris a while back... It sure is good to know how clean NATO, the EU, and the US are in all of this trouble... (wink) LINK!

Remember when Hillary Clinton's old Prez campaign worked with a former MI6 agent to concoct a bogus "dossier" that was fed to US intel agencies to give them wiggle room to spy on the Trump campaign even as they peddled the fake "Russian interference" canard? Well, it appears that Starmer's lovely Labour Party likes that old-time corruption of US elections, and is sending staff to campaign for Harris. LINK!

SECOND! This, from our Liberty Conspiracy Live stream, Friday night, covers a new example of the push for biometrics, covering that story of the Kuwaiti man who got BLOCKED from returning to his own home nation, because he would not give in to government demands for biometric data. LINK!
THIRD! Finally, this conversation between Prof Richard Ebeling and Future of Freedom President Jacob Hornberger is invaluable! It’s about “monopoly", and it exposes the centralizers’ attack on free trade! LINK!

Please spread the news that segments of Liberty Conspiracy LIVE are being rebroadcast on Free Talk Live! The good people of FTL asked me to provide six segments from the week for a Friday night radio and online broadcast that is carried at 7 PM, eastern! It’s a way for me to help them as their co-founder, Ian Freeman, works on his appeal after the feds unjustly punished him for dealing in cryptocurrencies, and Free Talk Live helps me get our audio segments to a larger audience! Go to this link at 7 pm on Fridays to listen to FTL!
