You have been warned.

Australian Fascism: Hayley Hodgson Explains How Police Came To Home & Took Her Away

You'll find your fortune's falling all over town
Make sure that your umbrella is upside down
Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
Cause if you want the things you love, you must have showers

The Federal Reserve Sits On Top Of The Silver Mountain....

I'm a wheel, I'm a wheel

I can roll, I can feel

And you can't stop me turning

Cause I'm the sun, I'm the sun

I can move, I can run

But you'll never stop me burning

Come down with fire

Lift my spirit higher

Someone's screaming my name

Come and make me holy again

I'm the man on the silver mountain

Nikki Fried: DeSantis Is a ‘Dictator’ Who Wants to Employ Unvaccinated People

On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The ReidOut,” Florida Agriculture Commissioner and gubernatorial candidate Nikki Fried (D) reacted to Gov. Ron DeSantis proposing the creation of the Florida State Guard, which previously existed in Florida and would make Florida the 23rd state in America to have an active state guard by stating that DeSantis is “an authoritarian dictator here in our state,” and that DeSantis is asking for unvaccinated people from New York to come to Florida, “and now he’s going to employ them here in the state of Florida.”

Fried said, “This is horrifying…when you were going through all of those headlines, each one individually is scary enough, when you put them all together and then you see this last action, where he’s not only forming his own army, but that — an army that is not accountable to anybody, not to the people of our state, not to the Constitution, but he’s asked our legislature for $100 million to fund this. This is a time when families are struggling, parents are trying to make the hard decisions of whether to put gas in their tank or buy another loaf of bread. And so yeah, I do think that one of these issues is he’s asking for these individuals to come down from New York unvaccinated and now he’s going to employ them here in the state of Florida.”

She continued, “So this should be alarming, not just to the people of our state, but the entire country, that the governor who is unhinged, who is going out of his way to show that he’s an authoritarian dictator here in our state, believes that he is above the law, doesn’t listen to the legislature, doesn’t communicate with...

American Weakness: U.S. Would 'Consult Internationally' Before Any Response To Russian Moves On Ukraine

U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin A.K.A. Darth Stupid

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has suggested that any U.S. response to Russia's actions toward Ukraine would be carried out in conjunction with the international community.

"Whatever we do will be done as a part of an international community," Austin said on December 2 while on a visit to South Korea.

"The best case though is that we won't see an incursion by the Soviet Union into the Ukraine," he added, accidentally referring to Russia as the former Soviet Union.

Austin spoke after U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who is scheduled to meet Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Stockholm on December 2, warned Moscow to end its troop buildup near the Ukrainian border or face hard-hitting sanctions.

Asked whether the U.S. reaction would be strictly economic, Austin declined to answer directly, saying only that the "best methods" would be used.

Austin also called on Moscow to be transparent about its military buildup and voiced hope that the United States and Russia could work to "resolve issues and concerns and lower the temperature in the region."

Austin spoke to reporters after talks with his South Korean counterpart, Suh Wook. They said they planned to update contingency war plans and review their combined military command while urging North Korea to return to diplomacy.

The United States called on the North to engage in dialogue, Austin said, adding that diplomacy is the best approach to pursue with North Korea, backed up by a credible deterrent.

The changing security environment prompted the United States and South Korea to agree to update long-standing operational planning for a potential conflict with North Korea, as well as review their...
