Good News Friday
October 25, 2024
Dear Patriot,
Whew! We made it through another week. Just days to go. Hopefully, by now you have already voted. Early Voting is looking very good for the Republicans. We will see if this can hold up. But, if you have not voted, do so over the weekend, The lines will likely be shorter.
Keep praying and keep urging your friends and relations to vote also. Even if you are in a state that does not swing, your votes add on to the popular vote totals.
The Democrats have boatloads of cash still to spend and just as many lies to push. Stay focused and calm. Pray for the county and for the safety of President Trump and Senator Vance. Give your worries to God.
Share the GOOD NEWS!
1- Be prepared to be blasted with a deluge of lies about Trump in the next few days. The GOOD NEWS is we have all heard them before and know the lies are false. The GOOD NEWS is that we have a non-biased place on the internet to get the truth. Thanks to Elon, we have X/Twitter.
This week the Never Trumpers floated out fired John Kelly. His lie was so bad, that even the Pence team, no supporters of Trump, had to defend him.
Even Mike Pence’s Chief of Staff Says General Kelly Is Lying About Trump.
QUOTE: Former Vice President Mike Pence‘s chief of staff has rejected statements made by General John Kelly, who claims that President Donald J. Trump had previously praised Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler and admires fascism.
Nick Ayers took to X to refute Kelly, saying, “I’ve avoided commenting on intra-staff leaks or rumors or even lies as it relates to my time at the White House, but General Kelly’s comments regarding President Trump are too egregious to ignore. I was with each of them more than most, and his commentary is *patently false.*”
2- Finally! Some measure of accountability for what these people did to the world with their injection. This is an unexpected development. Gates tried to get out of it but the judge refused his request and ordered him to appear.
Bill Gates to Stand Trial in Netherlands in COVID Vaccine Injury Lawsuit
QUOTE: A Netherlands court last week ruled that Bill Gates can stand trial in the Netherlands, in a case involving seven people injured by COVID-19 vaccines. Other defendants include Albert Bourla, CEO of Pfizer, and the Dutch state.
According to Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, the seven “corona skeptics” sued Gates last year, along with former Dutch prime minister and newly appointed NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, and “several members” of the Dutch government’s COVID-19 “Outbreak Management Team.”
Other defendants include Albert Bourla, Ph.D., CEO of Pfizer, and the Dutch state.
“Because Bill Gates’ foundation was involved in combating the corona pandemic, he has also been summoned,” De Telegraaf reported.
According to Dutch independent news outlet Zebra Inspiratie, the plaintiffs allege that Gates, through his representatives, deliberately misled them about the safety of the COVID-19 shots, despite knowing “that these injections were not safe and effective.”
Dutch independent journalist Erica Krikke told The Defender that the seven plaintiffs — whose names are redacted in the lawsuit’s publicly available documents — “are ordinary Dutch people, and they have been jabbed and after the jabs they got sick.”
Krikke said that of the seven original plaintiffs, one has since died, leaving the other six plaintiffs to continue the lawsuit.
3- Go to the link to see the chart…it is fun to study. The lesson is to vote for all Republicans everywhere you can. Their policies work for everyone. Democrat run states are failing their citizens.
Red State Jobs Dominance Rolls On
QUOTE: UP senior fellow, EJ Antoni, regularly tracks this dataset for us. This month, he tells us he had to expand the graph, because Idaho is growing like a weed and now has over 13% more jobs last month than in February 2020.
Incidentally, the ALEC annual Rich State Poor State report (co-authored by Unleash Prosperity co-founders Arthur Laffer and Stephen Moore), has consistently – for more than a decade – ranked Utah number one in economic policy. Followed by Idaho, Texas, and Florida as the just-behind economic roadrunner states. Sure enough, these are the states that are in the top five in job creation. Policy matters.
4- In America we are abundantly blessed with natural resources. Now, if we just had a political class that allowed us to access and use them!
Massive Lithium Deposit Found Under Southern US - Projected to Meet Global Demand by 2030
QUOTE: Move over, gold. The U.S. lithium rush may be set to boom.
The United States Geological Survey said Monday that there may be an enormous lithium reserve buried in south Arkansas’ Smackover Formation, an extensive limestone aquifer hosting large volumes of mineral-rich brine.
As much as 5 million to 19 million tons of lithium could exist in the form of underground brine — salty groundwater enriched in dissolved lithium.
“If commercially recoverable, the amount of lithium present would meet projected 2030 world demand for lithium in car batteries 9 times over,” according to the USGS release.
Working with the Arkansas Department of Energy and Environment’s Office of the State Geologist, the USGS made the discovery using a “novel methodology” of water testing and A.I. machine learning, according to the release.
5- It is not good to force people to get injections they feel are unsafe or against their religious beliefs. It is good news that we are seeing jurors who recognize this. Rulings like this are important so that companies are not tempted to do this to us again!
BART workers fired due to COVID vaccine mandate to get over $1M each, federal jury decides
QUOTE: A federal jury has sided with fired BART workers who sued the agency claiming they lost their jobs over a COVID vaccine mandate.
There are six of them total in the lawsuit and each will receive more than $1 million.
The employees claimed religious exemptions to the vaccine mandate but say they were not accommodated by the transit agency, and subsequently lost their job.
BART did initially grant vaccine exemptions, but the plaintiffs argued they weren't accommodated. An accommodation could have meant that they were able to work from home or get COVID tested regularly for COVID. They argued none of that happened and they lost their job.
On the eve of Thanksgiving, many unvaccinated BART employees learned their requests for a religious exemption to the COVID vaccine mandate was denied.
In total, BART must now pay a combined $7.8 million to all six former employees.
BART is a transit agency that is already between $350 and $400 million in the red, but BART's board of directors did vote eight to one for the vaccine mandate in 2021. BART has not commented on Wednesday's decision.

7- It is up to our female athletes to stop the craziness of men playing in their sports. Two hundred and seventy five (275) women golfers have joined together to remove a man from the women’s golf circuit.
Hundreds of female golfers demand removal of transgender player Hailey Davidson
QUOTE: Hundreds of female golfers have complained about the participation of Scottish-born transgender player Hailey Davidson in the penultimate stage of the LPGA Tour’s qualifying competition.
Davidson, a 31-year-old professional originally from Ayrshire but now based in Florida, has said that the intention is “to make Scotland proud” by earning a card on the women’s premier circuit.
But after progressing through August’s first stage of Q-School , the former player on a US male college team was accused of acting “unfairly”, with Amy Olson, a two-time major runner-up, railing against Davidson being allowed to compete. “These women have worked too hard and too long to have to stand by and watch a man compete for and take their spot,” she said.
It has now emerged that this view was held by many in the field, with the International Women’s Forum revealing that 275 signed a letter sent to the LPGA, the US Golf Association and the International Golf Federation, urging Davidson’s removal from the tournament.
“We all know there can be no equal athletic opportunity for women without a separate female golf category,” the letter, as reported by sports website OutKick, read. “Yet, the Ladies Professional Golf Association continues to propagate a policy that allows male athletes to qualify, compete and win in women’s golf, even as several national and international governing bodies of sport and state legislatures increasingly reject these unjust and inequitable policies that harm female athletes.
8- Good job by these brave ladies! Being warriors is not easy.
Women’s College Volleyball Teams Are Reclaiming Their Sport From Men, One Boycott at a Time
QUOTE: Boycotts are costly, but they work.
This is the lesson female athletes are learning across the United States as they sacrifice short-term gains and glory to reclaim their sports from female-identifying men.
The latest news on this front comes out of Nevada, where a fifth women’s college volleyball team has forfeited their game against San Jose State University, whose roster infamously boasts 6-foot-1 outside/right-side hitter Brayden Fleming (now going by “Blaire Fleming”), a biological male.
Fleming’s unfair advantage was on full display recently, as footage made the rounds on social media showing him spiking the ball directly into an opponent’s face and knocking her to the ground.
The other teams to have taken part in the boycott against SJSU so far are Southern Utah, Utah State, Wyoming, and Boise State.
9- What will voters in North Dakota do? Keep your eye on this one as it could spread to your state!
North Dakota Could Become First State In The Country To End Property Taxes
QUOTE: Voters in North Dakota will have the chance to get rid of the state’s property taxes in November and become the first state in the nation to repeal the tax, potentially paving the way for others to follow suit.
The ballot measure, called Measure 4, would not only repeal the state’s property tax, but also bar cities and localities from instituting property taxes of their own.
Rick Becker, the chair of an organization called End Unfair Property Tax, which got the measure placed on the North Dakota ballot, says that success in the Peace Garden state could encourage other states across the country to ditch their own property taxes.
“Once that happens, the light turns on for so many people. As soon as a state steps outside that box, the other states see how possible that is,” Becker contended. “The sky didn’t fall, and maybe we should give it a try.”
While Becker calls property taxes “most egregious and least moral of all the taxes,” others are working to oppose the measure to repeal them in the state, calling the ballot initiative a “sledgehammer approach.”
Municipalities across the United States garnered about $363 billion in property taxes from single family homes last year, data reveals, marking a nearly seven percent increase from the prior year.
10- Her hometown paper knows her well.
LA Times, Harris’s Hometown Paper, Refuses to Endorse Her After Backing Biden, Hillary, Obama
QUOTE: Vice President Kamala Harris’s hometown paper, the Los Angeles Times, will not deliver a 2024 presidential endorsement.
The paper’s lack of an endorsement is a slight to Harris. The Times endorsed President Joe Biden in 2020, Hillary Clinton in 2016, and Barack Obama in 2012 and 2008.
11- What might we surmise from Democrat Senatorial candidates now running ads showing they support Trump policies? Nothing good for the Kamala campaign. But, Trump issued a warning for voters in four states.
Trump Responds to Democratic Senators Using His Name in Campaign Ads
QUOTE: As we've been covering, vulnerable Democratic incumbents have run some rather desperate races as Election Day looms closer. Their tactics now involve using former and potentially future President Donald Trump in their ads, and in a positive light. The Republican nominee has something to say about that, in a post shared over Truth Social on Wednesday, issuing a warning to voters about how there's a particular reason these Democrats are doing so.
Trump didn't just call out the vulnerable Democratic incumbents, but also Vice President Kamala Harris.
"Kamala Harris’ sinking Campaign has become so TOXIC, that Democrat Senators in four different States are using me in their advertisements, and stating that they are with President Trump on Tariffs, and numerous other things," Trump reminded.
"While it is a great compliment, it is not fair to those Republican Senate Candidates, Bernie Moreno, Dave McCormick, Eric Hovde, and Sam Brown, who are with me all the time. These Democrats have voted with Crooked Joe Biden almost 100% of the time," he continued, referencing their Republican challengers. "They only pretend to be on my side when Elections roll around. OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, WISCONSIN, NEVADA: VOTE FOR BERNIE MORENO, DAVE MCCORMICK, ERIC HOVDE, AND SAM BROWN - THEY ARE THE ONES WHO ARE WITH US!"
12- It has been bothering us to learn that as many as 32 million Christians and Catholics do not vote. If you have friends who are not voting, you might consider sharing this thoughtful letter from Catholic Archbishop Carlo Vigano to Catholics (and by extension all Christians) on the high stakes of this election.
Here is an excerpt. Please read entire piece at the link.
Brown Pelican Society of Louisiana
OPEN LETTER TO AMERICAN CATHOLICS ON THE EVE OF THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
Dear Faithful American Catholics, I am addressing all of you, a few days before the Presidential Election that will call millions of American citizens to the polls.
Even in conditions of relative normality, the exercise of the vote is your moral duty, through which you cooperate in the first person in choosing the person who will lead the Nation for the next four years. But in this coming electoral round – just as in 2020 and indeed much more so – you are not simply called to choose between two candidates who happen to be on different political sides but who both nevertheless have the common good at heart in compliance with the Constitution and the Law. No; in this election you must choose between two radically opposed ways of conceiving the government of your Nation: you are called to choose between democracy and dictatorship, between freedom and slavery.
On one side we have candidate Donald J. Trump, who, despite serious problems in his positions – especially in the matter of abortion and assisted procreation – has as his objective the common good and the protection of the fundamental freedoms of citizens. In Donald Trump’s America, every Catholic can practice their Faith and educate their children in it without interference from the State.
On the other side we have a candidate and a party that promotes everything that directly opposes the Faith and Morals of the Catholic Church. In Kamala Harris’ America, Catholics – but also Protestants – are considered fundamentalists to be marginalized and eliminated, and their children are considered the property of the State, which arrogates to itself the right to lead them astray from an early age in both body and soul. Trump’s America can become great and prosperous again. Harris’ America is destined for invasion and for moral, social, and economic destruction: the most ferocious dictatorship.
Donald Trump and Kamala Harris: we are not talking about two visions that are a bit different but still part of the normal political back-and-forth. No; we are talking about two diametrically opposed and irreconcilable worlds, in which Trump fights against the deep state and is committed to freeing America from its tentacled grip, while on the opposite side we have a corrupt and blackmailed candidate, an organic part of the deep state, who acts as a puppet in the hands of warmongers like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, of self-proclaimed “philanthropists” like the criminals George Soros and Klaus Schwab, or of characters like Jeffrey Epstein and Sean Combs.
Behind these people – by now we should know this – are people devoted to evil, united by the satanic hatred against Our Lord Jesus Christ and those who believe in Him, mainly against the Catholic faithful. We want Christ to reign, and we proclaim it with pride: Christ is King! They want the Antichrist to reign, whose tyranny is made of chaos, war, disease, famine, and death. And the more emergencies and crises planned and created by the globalist elite increase, the more that elite has a pretext to impose new limitations, new restrictions of fundamental rights, and new social controls.
Voting for Donald Trump means firmly distancing ourselves from an anti-Catholic, anti-Christian and anti-human vision of society. It means stopping those who want to create a hellish dystopia that is even worse than the one announced by George Orwell. And it also means – do not forget – giving him our vote of confidence, so that President Trump knows that the massive vote of Catholics and Christians that brought him back to the White House must become the premise for a more incisive commitment to the defense of life from conception to natural death, the traditional family, the right of parents to educate their children, and to the defense of the Christian Faith and the cultural identity of the Nation.
I repeat: the choice is between a conservative President, who is paying with his very life for his fight against the deep state, and an infernal monster who obeys Satan. For a Catholic, there can be no question: voting for Kamala Harris is morally inadmissible and constitutes a very grave sin. Nor is it morally possible to abstain, because in this war declaring oneself neutral means allying oneself with the enemy.
PRAY. PRAY. PRAY.
VOTE. VOTE. VOTE.
