As We Celebrate Independence Day, Isn’t it Time to be Honest About the State of American Freedom?

241 years ago, our Founders put everything on the line: their lives, their families, their property and their sacred honor. Why? Distant tyrants wanted to control the masses, imposing exorbitant taxes, employing massive numbers of jack-booted bureaucrats paid for by those taxes, appointing corrupt judges, using armed agents to terrorize the populace in times of peace, and even creating false flag events (using some of the Native American population).

Are we much better today? Some would say we’re worse. Much worse, in fact. Take, for instance, the fact that we produce per capita 100 times what we did 200 years ago but are lucky to have one full day of rest per week. Why? Much of our wealth is stolen through confiscatory, embedded taxation. For example, a majority of the price you pay for a loaf of bread is actually from hidden taxation as a result of the feds taking a cut at each successive stage of production.

How about representation? Just ask the numerous candidates who have arisen from the grassroots just to be promptly assassinated by the Establishment-controlled press or destroyed internally by agents of the Ruling Class. Vote fraud kills off many others.

What about other constitutional freedoms? With respect to the First Amendment, ask any number of religious objectors to the gay agenda who have lost their entire livelihoods by refusing to participate in the insanity.

Or how about speech? This website – Restoring Liberty – has been banned from the Google ad network and has been suspended from Facebook for simply speaking truth about the rampant pedophilia among our rulers as well as the insanity of the transgender phenomena.

What about the Fourth Amendment? Virtually everything we do digitally is reviewed and stored permanently without warrant, available for purposes of character assassination or prosecution if we decide to get “uppity” and challenge the Ruling Class status quo.

No, my friends, we are no longer “free,” at least not as our Founders understood the word. And the longer we sit on our hands, the greater the tyranny will become.

Watch out, ‘Fake News’ Media! Here Is Trump’s Next Big Move

. . .Trump is outwitting the media and the deep state at every turn, just like you do your dog. He puts up a dog-and-pony show to grab the attention of the dog-and-pony show! And they latch on for dear life every time. It’s political poetry!

When they thought they had him on Russia, he tweeted about it so he could continue opening pipelines and deregulating the energy business while they were too fascinated with Russia conspiracy theories to even pay attention to all he was accomplishing. The Chicken-Little-style screeching caused Middle America to get bored of the alt-left’s “sky is falling” mentality and deadened its attention span and trust in lamestream media news.

While the media continued their obsession over the Comey hearings, the president was busy being successful in overhauling the Supreme Court, the Veterans Administration, the EPA and more.

Ordinarily, the climate conspiracy theorists would have had wall-to-wall coverage of Trump’s total overhaul of their fake science when he pulled out of the Paris climate agreement and opened America’s pipelines, but CNN’s own Jeff Zucker told them to go back to talking Russia instead. Trump knows how to throw them off their game.

Trump was winning. (Read more from “Watch out, ‘Fake News’ Media! Here Is Trump’s Next Big Move” HERE)

Educational Freedom for Our Warriors in the Land of the Free

When our Founding Fathers drafted the Declaration of Independence and the Continental Congress adopted it on July 4th, 1776, they declared themselves a nation built on the principles of human freedom and limited, representative government. For years, they fought the British and gave their lives to confirm this independence.

Now, 241 years later, our military families continue to give their lives to secure our freedom. As we celebrate this Independence Day and thank the men and women of our armed services, let’s also consider ways we can improve freedom and opportunity for our military families as they serve.

All military members volunteer to deploy into harm’s way. For a service member preparing for deployment or already deployed far from home, the education options available to their children can be a point of great concern. The schooling options available to military-connected children can play a role in whether a family accepts an assignment, even factoring into decisions to leave military service altogether.

According to a recent survey conducted and published by the Military Times, 35 percent of respondents said that dissatisfaction with their child’s education was a “significant factor” in their decision to remain in or leave military service.

In fact, the Pentagon’s changes to policy in 2016 enabling families to remain at duty stations for longer time periods was a direct response “to complaints by military parents who are loathe to move if the next duty station has poorly performing schools.”

These complaints may often stem from the fact that military-connected children are assigned to the district schools closest in proximity to military bases, regardless of whether those district schools are right for them.

As important as education is to military parents, more than half of all active-duty military families live in states with no school choice options at all.

What if, instead of assigning children of active duty military families to district schools closest to where they live, we offered military families a chance to access the federal dollars being spent on their children directly? The 1.3 billion dollar Impact Aid program supports the education of military-connected children by sending money to local district schools.

Imagine if instead a military family could access a portion of those funds through an account with their name on it. Active duty military families would have access to a parent-controlled education savings account, populated with the federal funds that would have been spent on their child in the public system, which could be used for private school tuition, online learning, special education services and therapies, private tutors, textbooks, curricula, and any other education-related services of their choice.

Educations savings accounts give valuable freedom to parents to choose the education that works best for their child. Across the U.S., six states have established educations savings account options: Arizona, Florida, Tennessee, Mississippi, Nevada, and most recently, North Carolina.

Like their civilian-family counterparts, children of military families deserve choices in education.

Modernizing the Impact Aid program by transitioning funding into parent-controlled education savings accounts would provide children of active-duty military families with education choice, while ensuring the federal program serves military families as well as they serve us.

When our Founding Fathers drafted the Constitution, they made national defense a paramount responsibility of the new federal government. As we celebrate the birth of our great nation, let’s strengthen our national defense by supporting military families with educational freedom.

Cosmopolitan, Elle, and the Attack Against Conservative Women

Cosmopolitan magazine recently published an article with a headline that read “7 Women Who Could Be Our First Female President.

Among those seven, of course, is not a single conservative or Republican-leaning lady. Instead, Cosmo lists a handful of progressive women who it believes are “eminently qualified” for the job.

But in reality, there’s no shortage of right-leaning women also “eminently qualified” to be president of the United States. We have U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, Utah Congresswoman Mia Love, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst, and New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez.

In the end, though, this irresponsible “journalism” shouldn’t come as a surprise. In fact, it’s only the latest assault against Republican and conservative women originating—ironically—inside a “women’s magazine.”

Recently, Elle magazine published an article titled “How Do We Criticize Problematic Women?” referring to right-leaning ladies like Megyn Kelly, Kellyanne Conway, and Ivanka Trump.

Not to be confused with feminist icons who overcame stereotypes and sexism to land successful careers, Elle magazine views right-leaning women as problems who need to be fixed.

But being problematic isn’t so bad. Instead of embracing a culture that’s anti-male and obsessed with victimhood, problematic women tend to favor a more traditional approach to women’s empowerment, one in which they embrace biology and consider themselves a “product of my choices” rather than a “victim of my circumstances.” As someone who self-identifies as a problematic woman, I have a message for these women’s magazines who can’t help but discriminate against their own kind.

Calling us “problematic” isn’t an insult—we’ll embrace this new name with pride. Being a problem, after all, is how this whole feminism thing got started. But pretending that we don’t exist? That’s insulting, and we’re here to very proudly tell you otherwise. (For more from the author of “Cosmopolitan, Elle, and the Attack Against Conservative Women” please click HERE)

Woman Says Planned Parenthood Abortionists Told Her: If Born Alive, ‘We Would Break the Baby’s Neck’

. . .According to videotaped testimony of a woman who went to Planned Parenthood, a doctor admitted that babies born alive are killed to complete an abortion.

The woman went to Planned Parenthood for a late-term, two-day abortion earlier this year. She was just over 22 weeks along. On the way into the abortion business, she was given information from Pro-Life Action Ministries’ sidewalk counselors . . .

Already wavering, she asked the abortionists, “If you guys were to take him out right now while he’s still, his heart rate is still, you know, going, what would you guys do?”

The abortionists hesitated, looked at each other, and one then admitted,

“We don’t tell women this, and a lot of women don’t even ask this question, but if we was to proceed with the abortion and the baby was to come out still alive and active, most likely we would break the baby’s neck.”

Busted Iran Front Group Loaded Clinton Foundation With Cash

An Iranian foundation recently convicted as a front organization for the theocratic regime in Tehran donated five-figure sums to the infamous Clinton Foundation.

Last week, a New York grand jury ruled that the government can seize a building majority-owned by the Alavi Foundation, agreeing with prosecutors that it is a front group for the mullahs in Tehran. The foundation used the Manhattan skyscraper to garner hundreds of millions in revenue so it could supply cash for its “charitable” endeavors inside the United States.

The Alavi Foundation rarely donated to non-Islamic or non-academic institutions. Alavi spent most of its funds on building Shiite institutions — such as mosques and cultural centers — and installing Iran-friendly professors at prominent American universities.

So its regular donations to the Clinton Foundation — now estimated at around $100,000 — particularly stood out. From 1985 to 2014, the Alavi Foundation — which last year listed its assets at over $100 million — donated to only 13 non-Islamic organizations.

In addition to its direct donations to the Clinton Foundation, the Alavi Foundation has also sent money to organizations associated with the non-profit. Alavi has given funds to the Clinton Foundation through its supposed humanitarian programs (the “Child Foundation”) in Louisiana and Haiti.

Prominent legislators have labeled the Clinton Foundation as something resembling a money-laundering and influence-peddling operation. Its critics argue that the foundation was primarily utilized to curry favor with the power Clinton family. They point to instances like the foundation’s disaster-relief fundraising efforts in Haiti, which ended up enriching the Clinton Foundation and not doing anything substantive to relieve the suffering of the people on the ground.

When first confronted with the possibility that the Alavi Foundation was an Iranian front group, the Clinton Foundation refused to return its donations.

At the time, in 2015, New York U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said: “For two decades, the Alavi Foundation’s affairs have been directed by various Iranian officials, including Iranian ambassadors at the United Nations, in violation of a series of U.S. laws.”

It remains unclear if the conviction of the Alavi Foundation will change whether the Clinton Foundation will dispose of the terror-linked funds they have regularly received from the Iranian front group. If the Clinton Foundation continues to take funds from Alavi, the Clintons will be enabling a country determined — by bipartisan consensus — in U.S. government circles as the world’s foremost state sponsor of terrorism.

Steven Crowder Exposes Tax-Free Income and Racism of Illegals

Democrats like to say that the U.S. needs illegal immigrants because they will do the jobs that Americans are too proud to do, and that they are a benefit because they pay into the system.

In his latest video, CRTV host Steven Crowder decided to investigate that myth — with shocking results. Crowder and Not Gay Jared hired themselves out as day laborers and competed with migrant workers for work.

The illegal immigrant workers didn’t like the competition at all.

To his amazement, Crowder learned that some workers claimed to make as much as $400 in three days. A worker he tried to hire wouldn’t take less than $160 for six hours of work. Crunching the numbers, the “Louder with Crowder” team found that, with steady work at these rates, a day laborer could make between $45,000 and $56,000 per year without paying state or federal income taxes on a cent of that money.

And that’s before taking home entitlement benefits (for them, or their children) at the taxpayers’ expense.

Shadow President? Obama Meets With South Korean President to Discuss Trump

Former President Barack Obama seems to be feeling nostalgic for his old job, meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in Monday for 40 minutes.

The Korea Herald reported that Moon spoke about his recent meetings with President Trump in Washington and asked Obama for his advice on how to improve that relationship.

The meeting came after Obama spoke at the Asian Leadership Conference and the Fourth Congress of Indonesian Diaspora in Jakarta. There he attacked Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris climate change accord.

“In Paris, we came together around the most ambitious agreement in history about climate change, an agreement that even with the temporary absence of American leadership can still give our children a fighting chance,” Obama said in Indonesia.

There Won’t Be Gender Restrictions at 2018 Olympics

The International Olympic Committee (IOC), in charge of making the rules for the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in South Korea, said that there will be no sex or gender testing required for the upcoming games.

“With regard to Hyperandrogenism in female athletes, there were no regulations in place at the Olympic Games Rio 2016 and there will be no regulations in place at the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018 as we are still awaiting the resolution of the Dutee Chand case,” the IOC wrote in a June email in response to an inquiry into how it would regulate the upcoming Olympics.

The response follows controversy that sparked after 800-meter South African runner Caster Semenya won gold at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Brazil. Semenya’s intersex condition causes her to produce more testosterone (hyperandrogenism) than most women, prompting questions about whether she had an unfair biological advantage.

“These kind of people should not run with us,” Italian middle-distance runner Elisa Cusma said. “For me, she is not a woman. She is a man.”

In the past, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), the world’s governing body for track and field, sought to preserve the male-female division by administering gynecological exams, chromosome tests, or hormone tests to ensure fair competition.

Bernie Sanders Attacks Fox News

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ office crafted and published a video attacking Fox News commentators for mocking Sanders’ claims that the proposed Senate health care bill — which was recently shelved due to a lack of votes — would cause “thousands” of people to die.

Sanders’ Twitter account posted the video, which reached almost three minutes in length, with the caption: “Fox News may not like it, but these are the facts: Thousands of our fellow Americans will die if the Republican health care bill is passed.”

Tweets that aren’t personally signed by Sanders are “from a staffer,” according to the socialist senator’s Twitter profile.

Sanders relied on a PolitiFact fact-check as the basis for attacking Fox News’ health care coverage. The fact-checking site rated his claim “mostly true.” (Read more from “Bernie Sanders Attacks Fox News” HERE)
