DEFLATING THE INFLATION PARADIGM
For the past twenty years, maybe fifteen, but the theory is the same, inflation rate was set or controlled by governments worldwide. The federal reserve banks were forced one way or another to adapt the policy of their respective governments. If inflation remained below 1%, the various reserves did the bidding by flooding individual banks with fiat currencies. One would think that this would cause inflation. However, filling the banks coffers didn’t mean that individuals pockets were filled. So inflation didn’t respond to the increase in the money supply.
However, so things are not all that they seem to be in the inflation space. For instance the price of TV’s have imploded during the past twenty years; what cost $3,000 then can be purchased today for less than $1,000. A DVD back in the day was available for your arm and leg. Today, one can be had for $59.99; to top it off they are 1/5 the size. Imagine that? Cameras, the best can now be had for $1000, compared to $2500 just a few years ago. Miniaturization has entered our lives at warp speed, computing is the best example. Thirty years ago, the computer of today needed a hotel room to occupy because it was so large; today we wear one on the wrist . And we can go on and on.
Our point here is two fold; the price of these items has declined at a precipitous rate. Without providing empirical evidence we can make a rough guess that the rate is at a minimum of 100% during the past 20 years. Factoring in household purchases over time, we can assume that they have purchased, computers, TV’s, cell phones in lock step. A back of the envelope calculation indicates that these items have decreased at a 5% rate per year over the time frame. Hard to argue with that.
A buyer of motor vehicles expected prices to remain fairly stable as they had over the past ten years, but then Covid landed on our shores. A chip shortage developed, automobiles became in short supply causing used car prices to shoot upward. The supply chain became longer causing more delays and higher prices due to the fact that people wanted their cars now. Dealers were in no hurry to discount. therefore prices went through the roof; less trade-ins caused used car prices to skyrocket upward. The supply chain was impacted too, causing more shortages in more industries.
Food costs rose, commodities rose, sustainability became the new theme. And before you knew what was happening, wage demands along with shortages caused retail havoc, not to mention the paucity of software engineers. And so be it, inflation roared ahead at a rate not seen for forty years; the heyday of Jimmy Carter. What does that all mean? First off is that monetary expansion does not directly cause inflation. There is no phenomena here, nor a monetary experience if you will. But, we must take into account peoples purchase over time. How they spend money, what percent of their pay is spent on goods and services that have decreased in the past decade or two. And then in relation with those compare the with those that increased; to tally both we are forced to intersect them price wise to formulize an inflation rate.
In distilling the past we find that the underlying inflation, that is the goods and services needed for daily living has chronologically increased by a minimum of 5% per year over the past ten years. Official pronouncements such as the CP Index concealed what we, the shopper, saw in the real world.
Now that the truth has been uncovered we implore you to get ready for the “NEW FED COIN” which at sometime in the not too distant future will replace the “once almighty greenback.” You say it isn’t true? Check Weimar, check 1933, check 1971. Governments will do anything to remain in power. But this time might be too late. Bitcoin is going mainstream.
“TO TAKE HIM OUT TONIGHT”
This Maxine Water, a college graduate who was socially degreed; a criminal none the less is the quintessential “leech” having sponged off the system for the past 30 years. One thing about her that we do know, she has a big trap and a pea sized brain. We can all agree on that.
The propensity to open her mouth on any situation which she is not skilled is well known. In her thirty years representing the 43 congressional district Waters has doubled down on “the wrongs of the past” and demanded reparations. But when all forensic accounts are settled we find her assets, net worth, to be approaching one hundred million dollars. How does a brainless buffoon accumulate such a stash? Well, we will save you the trouble of guessing; she has robbed, stolen, double dipped, lied her way to wealth. She is untouchable because of her color. No one dears to touch her for the fear of extinction.
Waters has called Trump “a bully, an egotistical maniac, a liar and someone who did not need to be president” and “the most deplorable person I’ve ever met in my life”. In a 2017 appearance on MSNBC‘s All In with Chris Hayes, Waters said Trump’s advisors who have ties to Russia or have oil and gas interests there are “a bunch of scumbags”.
Waters began to call for the impeachment of Trump shortly after he took office. In February 2017, Waters said that Trump was “leading himself” to possible impeachment because of his conflicts of interest and that he was creating “chaos and division”.
Linking Trump to the violence that erupted at a white nationalist protest rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, on August 12, 2017, Waters stated that the White House “is now the White Supremacists‘ House”. After Trump’s 2018 State of the Union address, Waters released a video response addressing what most members of the Congressional Black Caucus viewed as his racist viewpoint and actions, saying, “He claims that he’s bringing people together but make no mistake, he is a dangerous, unprincipled, divisive, and shameful racist.” Trump later replied by calling her a “low-IQ individual”.
CLICK HERE FOR WATERS THREAT “TO TAKE HIM OUT TONIGHT”. AND THEN SHE TRIES TO TREND BACK HER REMARKS. SO WE SAY IT IS TIME TO “TAKE HER OUTBACK to the plantation where she belongs. She claims that a 79 year old Black woman was not physically able to “take him out.” BUT WHAT SHE DID IS to INFLAME HER CAUDRAY OF RACIST friends (BLM SYMPHATHIZERS) TO DO HER BIDDING. An American citizen who spoke those words would be cuffed for threatening a sitting President, but not her.
See below for the scheming Waters family. No different than the Biden family business corrupt enterprise.
According to Chuck Neubauer and Ted Rohrlich writing in the Los Angeles Times in 2004, Waters’s relatives had made more than $1 million during the preceding eight years by doing business with companies, candidates and causes that Waters had helped. They claimed she and her husband helped a company get government bond business, and her daughter Karen Waters and son Edward Waters have profited from her connections. Waters replied, “They do their business and I do mine.”[38] Liberal watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington named Waters to its list of corrupt members of Congress in its 2005, 2006, 2009 and 2011 reports.[39][40] Citizens Against Government Waste named her the June 2009 Porker of the Month due to her intention to obtain an earmark for the Maxine Waters Employment Preparation Center.[41][42]
Waters came under investigation for ethics violations and was accused by a House panel of at least one ethics violation related to her efforts to help OneUnited Bank receive federal aid.[43] Waters’s husband is a stockholder and former director of OneUnited Bank and the bank’s executives were major contributors to her campaigns. In September 2008, Waters arranged meetings between U.S. Treasury Department officials and OneUnited Bank so that the bank could plead for federal cash. It had been heavily invested in Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, and its capital was “all but wiped out” after the U.S. government took it over. The bank received $12 million in Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) money.[44][45] The matter was investigated by the House Ethics Committee,[46][47] which charged Waters with violations of the House’s ethics rules in 2010.[48][49][50][51] On September 21, 2012, the House Ethics Committee completed a report clearing Waters of all ethics charges after nearly three years of investigation.
SALVATION FOR THE ARMY FOR THEY HAVE REPENTED
To those who have donated, like our crew, to the Salvation Army, BEWARE. They have gone political. Instead of being color blind, the Army has embraced CRITICAL RACE THEORY (CRT).
Because they have been caught RED HANDED, their embracing of CRT has been taken down.

Controversy over Salvation Army anti-racism guide reaches Saranac Lake bell ringers
LET’S TALK ABOUT RACISM
Consistent with its scriptural foundations, The Salvation Army stands against racism in all forms. Our International Positional Statement on Racism makes that clear.
Elements of the recently issued “Let’s Talk About Racism” guide led some to believe we think they should apologize for the color of their skin, or that The Salvation Army may have abandoned its Biblical beliefs for another philosophy or ideology. That was never our intention, so the guide has been removed for appropriate review.
Organizer concerned controversy could impede local collections

SARANAC LAKE — Mischaracterization of a Salvation Army anti-racism guide by politically-motivated media outlets has local bell ringers fielding questions about whether the charity is racist against white people. Some organizers are concerned people may not donate this year because of the claims.
Conservative media outlets are accusing the Salvation Army of being “racist” against its white donors and are claiming the charitable organization is demanding that white donors apologize for their skin color. It’s causing charitable organizers to worry that people who believe these claims will not donate to the organization this year.
The Salvation Army called these claims “sensationalist” and said they come from people purposefully distorting the organization’s positive, anti-racist, Christian message.
“Some individuals and groups have recently attempted to mislabel our organization to serve their own agendas,” Salvation Army Commissioner Kenneth Hodder wrote in a statement on Nov. 25. “Those claims are simply false, and they distort the very goal of our work.”
The claims are centered around an internal study guide pamphlet — titled “Let’s Talk About Racism” — that the Salvation Army published early this year.
The issue in online publications has found its way to Saranac Lake.
“My volunteer bell ringers have had a few people stop to discuss the racism claim against the Salvation Army,” Saranac Lake Salvation Army Bell Ringing Coordinator Maggie Mortensen said. “I’d hate to lose people because of this.”
This hullabaloo over a pamphlet released in April did not start until the Salvation Army’s largest fundraising campaign of the year got underway.
“People are saying ‘We’re not going to give anymore to the Salvation Army because it supports racism,’” Mortensen said. “The bell ringers are like, ‘We don’t know what you’re talking about.’”
She said she wants to put these allegations to rest.
Hodder said the Salvation Army does not believe donors should apologize for their skin color, that America is an inherently racist country or that opposing racism means the organization is moving away from Christianity in favor of another ideology.
Hodder said the Salvation Army’s mission is rooted in the anti-discrimination teachings of Jesus Christ.
“The Salvation Army believes that racism is fundamentally incompatible with Christianity,” he wrote.
–
How the claim spread
–
The study guide “Let’s Talk About Racism” was released in April as an internal, voluntary resource meant to spark conversations and reflection among Salvationists.
The pamphlet was released by the Salvation Army’s International Social Justice Commission, which describes itself as a voice for justice for “the world’s poor and oppressed.”
Controversy surrounding it didn’t pick up speed until November.
The guide was first reported on by the obscure Virginian conservative online outlet Central Nova News, whose parent company is owned by the founders of the Tea Party movement, according to Columbia Journalism Review. The site is run by people notorious for faking quotes and writing with a strong political slant in previous endeavors, CJR reported.
The Central Nova News article framed the study guide’s discussion points for members as “demands” of donors.
The first page of the pamphlet says, “This discussion guide represents The Salvation Army’s desire for internal dialogue. It is not a position or policy statement.”
“No one is being told how to think. Period,” Hodder wrote.
The article also claims the guide “asserts Christianity is institutionally racist.”
The guide acknowledges the existence of racism in the church, but says that this sin is contrary to the church’s goal.
When the article was shared with a Salvation Army Facebook group, top comments included racist myths and hostility toward people of color.
“People of European decent (sic) need to start waking up,” one man wrote.
Another woman wrote that she volunteered with the Salvation Army but quit when she saw a poster talking about helping refugees. She accused the Salvation Army of pushing for “the extinction of the white race.”
When other conservative media outlets picked up the story — Fox News, The Daily Wire and Breitbart — the implications of what this study guide was meant to do became more sensational with each article, eventually landing on Marxist dystopia.
The International Social Justice Commission has since removed the guide and says it is under “appropriate review.”
“International Headquarters realized that certain aspects of the guide may need to be clarified,” Hodder wrote.
–
What’s in the study guide?
–
The study guide tells readers to stop denying the existence of systemic racism that keeps white Americans in power while disenfranchising Black Americans; to confront the white privilege of not being oppressed and to not be “colorblind.” The guide says people are made different in appearance, and being colorblind ignores the discrimination people of color have faced.
Readers are asked to reflect inward on possible sins they may be harboring. The text asks Salvationists to “lament, repent and apologize for biases or racist ideologies held and actions committed.”
Racism, even in small amounts, is, after all, a sin, the Salvation Army says.
This ideology was dubbed “woke” by The Daily Wire, but Hodder says fighting racism and discrimination has always been part of the Salvation Army’s Christian mission.

Salvation Army supports locals with funds
–
Mortensen said last year was a banner year for Saranac Lake bell ringers. Because the coronavirus pandemic had people feeling charitable, they brought in lots of private donations and raised around $30,000.
Mortensen said they’re on track to raise around half that much this year — but said that’s still a high number for the North Country.
“Almost all that money stays here in town,” she said.
The Salvation Army distributes the money locally through voucher-writers who field requests from people in need and get returns from regional offices.
Mortensen said they’re writing around seven vouchers a month now. These vouchers can be used on things like rent, utilities, heating oil, medical expenses or new furniture, but they’re limited.
She said a voucher can be for up to $300. After that, she said organizers will work with the Saranac Lake Ecumenical Council, High Peaks Church, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church or one of the other church groups around town to make up the rest.
Also, this is a one-time-per-year offer. Mortensen said they can’t have “frequent flyers” because it would deplete their storehouses and leave less aid for others.
The goal is to help people through a tough time, she said.
“We want to help people get out of trouble, not enable them to stay in trouble,” Mortensen said.
The red kettle funds also help stock the St. Luke’s food boxes every week.
Mortensen said people should call Salvation Army organizers to make a voucher request, or just call the Ecumenical Council — a lot of the council’s members are bell ringers, too.
The Salvation Army says it doesn’t discriminate against LGBTQ people. Critics say that’s not true.
The organization does a lot to help underserved people, including members of the LGBTQ community. Still, it has a long history of alleged discrimination.
In 2013, transgender activist and writer Zinnia Jones compiled a timeline of the Salvation Army’s history of discrimination against LGBTQ people, both passively and actively. A few highlights:
- In 1998, the Salvation Army refused to comply with San Francisco’s laws regarding domestic-partner benefits, costing it $3.5 million in city contracts and leading to the closure of certain programs for homeless people and the elderly.
- In 2001, the organization tried to strike a deal with the Bush administration, which would have allowed religious charities that receive federal funding to circumvent local ordinances against anti-LGBTQ discrimination. (The organization also threatened to stop all of its New York City operations in 2004.)
- In 2012, a Salvation Army branch in Vermont was accused of firing a case worker after learning she was bisexual.
- Also in 2012, Salvation Army spokesperson George Hood said the organization views same-sex relationships as sinful. “A relationship between same-sex individuals is a personal choice that people have the right to make,” Hood said at the time. “But from a church viewpoint, we see that going against the will of God.”
AMERICAN WHITES MUST RISE UP AND CLAIM WHAT IS THEIRS
The statistics are not looking good, the future is becoming bleak. Prognosticators, census demographers and overall trends do not portray an optimistic destiny for the White Person. If history is any guide, Whites will be in the minority within 30 years. Is there anyway to stop the cataclysmic event from happening? Can we avert a catastrophe, can Armageddon be stopped?
The United States was born a Christian nation with a Judeo-Christian philosophy. Although, not all of the founding fathers were practicing Christians or for that matter religiously Christian, they did believe in the overall good that Christianity represented.
Thomas Paine, the protégé of Benjamin Franklin, denied “that the Almighty ever did communicate anything to man, by…speech,…language, or…vision.” Postulating a distant deity whom he called “Nature’s God” (a term also used in the Declaration of Independence), Paine declared in a “profession of faith”:
I believe in one God, and no more; and I hope for happiness beyond this life. I believe in the equality of man; and I believe that religious duties consist in doing justice, loving mercy, and in endeavoring to make our fellow-creatures happy.
George Washington’s refusal to receive communion in his adult life indicated Deistic belief to many of his pastors and peers.
One should note the religious language a Founder used. Non-Christian Deists such as Paine refused to use Judeo-Christian terminology and described God with such expressions as “Providence,” “the Creator,” “the Ruler of Great Events,” and “Nature’s God.” Founders who fall into the category of Christian Deists used Deistic terms for God but sometimes added a Christian dimension—such as “Merciful Providence” or “Divine Goodness.” Yet these Founders did not move further into orthodoxy and employ the traditional language of Christian piety.
The text of the Virginia Act for Establishing Religious Freedom spells out the revolutionary premises upon which Thomas Jefferson builds his argument for religious freedom for all. In the bill, the author of the U.S. Declaration of Independence declares his foundational beliefs about religion and liberty:
Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly, That no man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place, or ministry whatsoever, nor shall be enforced, restrained, molested, or burdened in his body or goods, nor shall otherwise suffer on account of his religious opinions or belief; but that all men shall be free to profess, and by argument to maintain, their opinions in matters of religion, and that the same shall in nowise diminish, enlarge, or affect their civil capacities.
So here we are today, a nation torn apart by Racists, such as Obama, who surreptitiously brought about mayhem and division. He did this coyly by using semantics, never to stress his hidden goals. And what were they? They were to change the face of America, from White to people of Color.
Adding gasoline to the fire were Uppity Democrats who were provided an opening into the political ecosphere. Before Biden was elected these nobody’s were “nobody’s. Given the opportunity to mouth off, the likes of AOC, who by the way was embodied by defeating a long time Democrat, gave credence to many of the aspirations of the extreme left social communists. She was able to commence her power play by befriending others, such as Omar, Presley and Rashid to her cause. Critical mass was necessary to threaten the power of Pelosi, who succumbed to the threats. She took a knee to the brazen newcomers.
They forced her into a direction different than her (click for a White Christmas)Christian upbringing, thereby colliding with the principal beliefs she previously paid tribute to. Now that the damage has been done, our job is to set the record straight. We call on all truth believing American Patriots to do what can in our fight for justice, equality, not equity, but for the principles that our Constitution exposed.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL
‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
And mamma in her ’kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
“Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!”
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky;
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of Toys, and St. Nicholas too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.
His eyes — how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle,
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night.”
DR DEATH AT THE DOOR
Dr. Death has been making his rounds, not in the hospital mind you, not in a sleigh either, but from his man cave, aka the subterranean safe room below the White House’s West Wing. To be blunt here, the science dictates that this malcontent air bag should be on his last legs, a flame out, if you will. Another way of saying it, he is close to inhaling a Omicron molecule from the exchange of spit with Xi.
But to no avail, as Obama said, “Joe will fuck things up” if given enough time. The Midas touch escaped this interloper; an evil man, born of a satanic ritual that psychologically suggested that his charge was to bring chaos to a methodic world. He accomplished this in spades. Afghanistan, China, Iran, Iraq, Russia, G7 have wished each other well on the eve of the New Year, the United States was purged from the list on purpose.
But let us not forget what happened over the past twelve months. Companies laying off workers, Talibanistan exploding on a daily basis, Inflation at all time highs, China moving expeditiously in the South China Sea, Russia raising up the “hammer and sickle” and most of all Covid-19 killing thousands by the minute. Didn’t Joe say, “I” will defeat the monster.
As we said, Dr. Death is at our back door, expect Jack Frost to welcome him with open arms. Don’t forget Ms. Evil, aka Pelosi, a murderer; infantside is her gig.
Like Pepe LaPue, Build Back Better legislation crashed like an autonomous driver sans human at the wheel. Lithium is sort of like the White House Dunce, very unstable. But the Wise Men predicted Joe consists of human Lithium that will bring Fire and Ice to the New Year.
Forcing people to get a shot against their will with threats are what dictators do. Gee Joe, what are you, some kind of BAIT and SWITCH. Yes you are, another Sears and Roebuck. Too bad people who voted for you are finding this out too late. Ask AOC and Bernie how they feel. Don’t bother, they got Burned by Joe Manchin. Scorched is a better word.
LETS GO BRANDON
MERRY CHRISTMAS AMERICA
JOE MANCHIN – TNBTP MAN OF THE YEAR
That a way to go JOE. We love the Christmas card you sent to Nancy and her leech, racist, un-American socialist friends. Nothing is more vitriolic than to receive a lump of coal in your stocking. Thanks Joe for bringing Joy to our house this Christmas.
CLICK BELOW TO HERE THE RACIST BANTER FROM RACISTS WHO PROPEL THE RACE CARD FROM THE WORD “GO”
“Joe Manchin, we are very proud of his vote and everything to stop this terrible, terrible carnage that’s happening from Washington. But nevertheless, we hope Joe stands tall,” he added. “And from the standpoint of Bette Midler, all I would say is shame on her. I mean really and truly”
“[West Virginia has seen] one thing right after another, whether it be leading in tourism, diversification, on and on and on,” he said. “For Bette Midler to say that — it is just plain not tolerable.”
As some observers have pointed out, the state’s economy also relies heavily on the energy sector, especially the coal-mining industry in areas like Logan, Beckley, and Pineville — an industry that often clashes with the politics of the left wing of Manchin’s party.
Blackburn: Manchin’s opposition to ‘Build Back Broke Blowup’ rocked Washington
MARSHA BLACKBURN: I think he may be saving some of these moderate Democrats who are desperately looking for a place to land. And what Joe Manchin has done is to say, “Okay, there’s the Joe Manchin wing of the Democrat Party and then there is the Joe Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, AOC, the Squad wing of the party.” But here is what we do know … The “Build Back Broke Blowup,” as I like to call it, is something that has rocked Washington. They did not get their way. The American people have rejected what they’re offering in West Virginia. This is wildly unpopular. So, then, what do the celebrities and the elitists do? They start demeaning and disparaging the people of West Virginia for having an opinion and wanting to protect their freedom and with disagreeing with the leftist socialist wing of the Democrat Party. So I think that all of this together is making a very good environment for the Republican candidates in 2020 too.
I think the problem they have now is the American people realize this is a socialist agenda, and the American people realize the Democrats are trying to take one vote. Take control of your children, their education of your bank account, your small business … force the “Green New Deal” on you. And people are tired of [critical race theory]. They’re tired of federalizing elections. They’re tired of crime in the streets. And what they are looking for is to get their freedom back. And you know what? They’re really tired of inflation and passing the bill back. The bill would make inflation worse.
BEN SHAPIRO ASKS FOR YOUR HELP TO DEFEND OUR MOST SACRED VALUES AGAINST ANTIFA TYPES
Friend,
Insidious leftist ideology has taken hold of our educational system.
It’s never been more important that we expose it, because the Left has lit an ideological fire, and that fire is now consuming the minds of young Americans, burning itself through the most aspects of American culture and politics.
That’s why it’s of utmost importance that I hear back from you today.
I’m no stranger to the authoritarian attitudes on campus; I famously felt the brunt of it when conservative students invited me to speak on the University of California, Berkeley campus.
Radical leftist groups like Antifa vowed to riot and cause harm to others.
The fear of violence from leftist agitators was so great that:
- It cost $600,000 in security expenses and required hundreds of policemen to ensure that agitators didn’t disrupt or try to cause violence at my speech.
- The University shut down six buildings on campus during my speech and erected concrete barricades (YES, a wall) to secure the Berkeley campus.
- For the first time in 20 years, the City of Berkeley voted to allow the use of pepper spray against violent protesters.
- In the end, police arrested nine leftists for trying to sneak banned weapons into our event-with the likely intent to do harm.
It’s no longer just about the Left trying to suppress your conservative views on campus.
It’s about using the threat of violence to silence the conservative values you and I share.
Meanwhile, schools roll out the red carpet for leftists like Angela Davis, Bill Ayers, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and Bernie Sanders.
At Berkeley, taxpayer-funded school administrators tried to derail my event from even taking place. They told me that they didn’t have a lecture hall available, which was a lie.
School administrators even cut the venue in half by not allowing students to sit in the balcony-a dirty tactic to minimize attendance.
The good news is the radical Left’s attempts to silence me completely backfired.
More than 600 students showed up, and we were able to host an engaging and civil event. Then, OVER 10 MILLION PEOPLE watched my speech online (that’s more viewers than any of the major evening newscasts).
This victory for the Conservative Movement would have never happened if it weren’t for the Young America’s Foundation (YAF).
When Berkeley tried to illegally block me from coming to campus, YAF sued the university – and won.
But the radicals who rioted and tried to incite violence at Berkeley are relentless. Their stranglehold on America’s universities has not yet been broken.
Young America’s Foundation has been an incredible partner in making sure I am able to share our conservative values with students on campuses across the country. In fact, I speak on campuses exclusively through YAF because I know YAF has the experience and leadership necessary to run the nation’s leading campus lecture program.
Today YAF needs your help.
Let me tell you a little bit more about what YAF does to advance conservative ideas.
Speaking to an audience of Young America’s Foundation students, Vice President Mike Pence noted, “Since its founding in 1960, YAF has been a bulwark of American greatness.”
YAF valiantly defends the values we share by educating impressionable young people who have been ideologically poisoned by leftist propaganda for decades, by the very teachers and professors they’re told to trust.
YAF’s team is the best at what they do. They are #1: the LARGEST and MOST effective conservative youth outreach organization in America.
Here’s why:
- YAF introduces young audiences to the biggest names in the Conservative Movement through their leading campus lecture program. YAF speakers are the most inspiring conservative voices in America, including Arthur Laffer, Katie Pavlich, YAF’s Ronald Reagan Presidential Scholar and Vice President Mike Pence, Dinesh D’Souza, Lila Rose, Steve Forbes, Lt. Col. Allen West, Speaker Newt Gingrich, Michael Knowles, Dana Loesch, James O’Keefe, NFL star and Congressman Burgess Owens, Star Parker, Fox News’s Jesse Watters, and many others.
- YAF teaches millions of students across the nation YOUR conservative values through breakthrough conferences, training seminars, and campus activism initiatives and activities. (In fact, YAF is the only Conservative Movement organization that has a full suite of conservative educational programs for high school students!)
- And YAF preserves and protects President Reagan’s ranch in Santa Barbara, California and Boyhood Home in Dixon, Illinois. They saved these national treasures so young people can learn about Ronald Reagan’s lasting accomplishments.
No other organization reaches conservative students with foundational American ideas on a bigger scale than Young America’s Foundation.
That’s why I prefer YAF to be my sole sponsor for campus events.
They fight for the right to ensure alternative voices are heard on college campuses. They stop campuses from being turned into Leftist echo chambers.
I am glad I have YAF on my side and the side of the students.
But YAF can’t do this alone.
As the Left continues to stoop to desperate new lows to silence conservatives, it’s become more important than ever that our values are shared with the next generation of thought leaders.
We both know that the Left doesn’t want a fair discussion of ideas. But that’s why YAF needs your help today. At any moment, a scheduled event could get shut down by campus radicals or administrators, and the YAF team must be ready to engage them on a moment’s notice.
Friend, a donation of $35 or whatever you choose does more than you know.
The impact amplifying conservative voices will have on the future of our country can’t be overstated. I cannot encourage you enough to consider giving to YAF today.
Partnering with YAF today is our opportunity to win a generation that values freedom. I can’t think of a better investment.
Ronald Reagan stated, “There is no better way to establish hope for the future than to enlighten young minds.”
I look forward to hearing back from you.
