There are many things, in life, I do not comprehend. As we approach another Memorial Day, one that always troubles me is why Truman did not use back channels to alert Japan's Emperor and Generals and demonstrate an atomic explosion on an uninhabited atoll before dropping "Big Boy" on Japan.
I understand he warned them and they would not listen but he never demonstrated.
I can understand Truman possibly even wanting to experience payback for Pearl Harbor but it would have eliminated the attack on Truman that he was a racist because Japan is inhabited by people of color.

Greetings Patriots,
With Memorial Day right around the corner, I cannot help but remember our veterans who have fought and died to protect the freedoms that many of us too often take for granted.
Freedom isn’t free; it is earned and protected through vigilance and sacrifice. It is up to all of us to honor those sacrifices by ensuring one of our most cherished rights, the right to vote, is protected. Free and fair elections are central to a free society and a functioning Constitutional Republic serving the citizens it represents. The underlying principle is simple. We must each do everything in our power to ensure it is easy to vote and hard to cheat.
I urge all of you to become defenders of election integrity to help preserve the foundations of our country. By becoming a poll volunteer, you can make a difference by ensuring elections in your district are run with honesty and integrity.
Please consider signing up to become a poll worker or poll watcher today. I have included information below to help you get connected in your state.
Steadfast and loyal,
LTC Allen West
Executive Director ACRU and Committee to Support and Defend

Glenn Loury – 2022 Bradley Prize Winner
Featuring Glenn Loury via Bradley Foundation
In March, Distinguished Visiting Fellow Glenn Loury was named a recipient of the 2022 Bradley Prize, an award that recognizes individuals’ outstanding achievements that reflect the Bradley Foundation’s mission to restore, strengthen, and protect institutions of American exceptionalism. In remarks upon accepting the prize at a ceremony in Washington, DC, on May 17, Loury described a specter of racial conflict growing out of the anger and alienation of too many African Americans. He argues that the basis for this estrangement is the disadvantages Blacks face on many fronts across the nation’s economic and social life—including in health, wealth, education, levels of imprisonment, and criminal victimization. However, he counters a popular media narrative that the American dream doesn’t apply to Black people, arguing that to say so ignores the prosperity and influence that Blacks have had in America; robs Blacks of agency and a sense of control over their own fate; and betrays a lack of faith in their capacities to face up to responsibilities and bear the burdens of freedom.

Biden Administration's Nuclear Deal: "This Isn't Obama's Iran Deal. It's Much, Much Worse."
by Majid Rafizadeh
"By every indication, the Biden Administration appears to have given away the store.... What is more, the deal appears likely to deepen Iran's financial and security relationship with Moscow and Beijing, including through arms sales." — Statement from 49 US Republican Senators, March 14, 2022.
With the increased flow of funds to the ruling mullahs, do expect an increase across Iran in human rights violations and domestic crackdowns on those who oppose the regime's policies, as hardliners tend to be the ones gaining more power as a result of any lifting of sanctions. Iran's hardliners already control three branches of the government: the executive, the legislative, and the judiciary.
Regionally speaking, a nuclear deal will undoubtedly escalate Iran's interference in the domestic affairs of other countries, despite what the advocates of the nuclear deal argue -- just as when then US President Barack Obama predicted that with a nuclear deal, "attitudes will change." They did. For the worse.
Sanctions relief, as a consequence of a nuclear accord, will most likely finance Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Quds Force (the IRGC branch for extraterritorial operations) and buttress Iran's terrorist proxies, including Lebanon's Hezbollah, Yemen's Houthis, Iraq's Shiite militias, and Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
The worst parts of the new deal are, of course, that it will enable the Iranian regime, repeatedly listed by the US as a state sponsor of terrorism, to have full nuclear weapons capability, an unlimited number of nuclear warheads, and the intercontinental ballistic missile systems with which to deliver them. In addition, as a separate deal, the US will reportedly release the IRGC from the US List of Foreign Terrorist Organizations, "in return for a public commitment from Iran to de-escalation in the region" and a promise "not to attack Americans."
Iran's leaders, for a start, never honored their earlier "commitment," so why would anyone think they would honor this one? In a burst of honesty, though -- and a pretty explicit tip-off -- they stated that they "didn't agree to the U.S. demand and suggested giving the U.S. a private side letter instead."
Then there is that revealingly narcissistic condition, "not to attack Americans"? Oh, then attacking Saudis, Emiratis, Israelis, Europeans, South Americans and everyone else is just fine? Thanks, Biden.
Worse, the Iranians were complicit with al-Qaeda in attacking the US on 9/11/2001. So we are rewarding them?
To top it off, the US State Department just confirmed that Russia and its war-criminal President Vladimir Putin could keep Iran's "excess uranium." (Excess of what?) Seriously? So Putin can use Iran's uranium to threaten bombing his next "Ukraine"?
One can only assume that just as the region has become relatively more peaceful and stable, the Biden administration would like to destabilize it. After surrendering to the Taliban in Afghanistan and failing to deter Putin from invading Ukraine, has the Biden administration not created enough destabilization? Why would a US president want a legacy of three major destabilizations unless someone was interested in bringing down the West?
The US proposals -- negotiated for the Americans by Russia of all unimpeachable, trustworthy, above-board advocates -- have been described as: "This Isn't Obama's Iran Deal. It's Much, Much Worse." That sounds about right.
The Biden administration continues to disregard major concerns regarding the Iran nuclear deal, and has reportedly "refused to commit to submit a new Iran deal to the Senate for ratification as a treaty, as per its constitutional obligation."

The Biden administration continues to disregard major concerns regarding the Iran nuclear deal, and has reportedly "refused to commit to submit a new Iran deal to the Senate for ratification as a treaty, as per its constitutional obligation."
Forty-nine Republican Senators recently told the Biden Administration that they will not back the administration's nuclear deal with Iran. The Senators stated:
"By every indication, the Biden Administration appears to have given away the store. The administration appears to have agreed to lift sanctions that were not even placed on Iran for its nuclear activities in the first place, but instead because of its ongoing support for terrorism and its gross abuses of human rights. The nuclear limitations in this new deal appear to be significantly less restrictive than the 2015 nuclear deal, which was itself too weak, and will sharply undermine U.S. leverage to secure an actually 'longer and stronger' deal. What is more, the deal appears likely to deepen Iran's financial and security relationship with Moscow and Beijing, including through arms sales."
A Biden nuclear deal with the Iranian regime will have major benefits for the ruling mullahs. It will enrich the Iranian regime with billions of dollars in revenues as it lifts sanctions on Tehran's energy, banking and shipping sectors; reintegrate the Islamic Republic into the global financial system, enhance Tehran's legitimacy in the world, increase Iran's exports of oil, and ratchet up foreign investments in Iran -- particularly in the energy industry.
Do not expect the extra revenues to trickle down to the ordinary people of Iran or raise their standard of living. As Ashkan, a construction worker and father of three who lives in the capital Tehran with his family, told me, "people had a lot of hope in 2015 when the nuclear deal was reached," under the so-called moderate administration of then President Hassan Rouhani.
"The officials made us believe that the nuclear deal will be good for the people as well. But after the nuclear deal, inflation kept going up, wages stayed the same, the value of the currency kept going down, price of goods continued to go up, unemployment remained high, and people were still financially struggling during the period of the nuclear deal until the US government of Trump left the deal."
With the increased flow of funds to the ruling mullahs, do expect an increase across Iran in human rights violations and domestic crackdowns on those who oppose the regime's policies, as hardliners tend to be the ones gaining more power as a result of any lifting of sanctions. Iran's hardliners already control three branches of the government: the executive, the legislative, and the judiciary.
The Iranian regime will most likely first utilize the extra revenue by increasing its military budget. This scenario is what occurred in 2015 after the Obama's nuclear deal was struck. Iran immediately raised its military budget by $1.5 billion from $15.6 billion to $17.1 billion. On April 10, 2015, The Iranian Students News Agency (ISNA) quoted Mohammad Reza Pour Ebrahimi, a member of the parliament's Economic Affairs Committee, stating:
"In addition to the approved figures, $1.5 billion has been allocated to prop up defense of the country and this amount has been approved by this committee."
Regionally speaking, a nuclear deal will undoubtedly escalate Iran's interference in the domestic affairs of other countries, despite what the advocates of the nuclear deal argue -- just as when then US President Barack Obama predicted that with a nuclear deal, "attitudes will change." They did. For the worse.
For the first time, Lebanon's Hezbollah became emboldened and admitted receiving financial and military assistance from Iran. In addition, Iran's military adventurism in Iraq rapidly escalated. Iran became more forceful in supporting and assisting the Syrian regime of Bashar Assad militarily and economically.
Sanctions relief, as a consequence of a nuclear accord, will most likely finance Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Quds Force (the IRGC branch for extraterritorial operations) and buttress Iran's terrorist proxies, including Lebanon's Hezbollah, Yemen's Houthis, Iraq's Shiite militias, and Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
The worst parts of the new deal are, of course, that it will enable the Iranian regime, repeatedly listed by the US as a state sponsor of terrorism, to have full nuclear weapons capability, an unlimited number of nuclear warheads, and the intercontinental ballistic missile systems with which to deliver them. In addition, as a separate deal, the US will reportedly release the IRGC from the US List of Foreign Terrorist Organizations, "in return for a public commitment from Iran to de-escalation in the region" and a promise "not to attack Americans."
"Administration officials who have briefed the media say the IRGC would only be delisted if it promises not to attack Americans and commits to curtailing its destabilizing activities outside Iran. If it doesn't keep its word, it can be redesignated an FTO. This might have been reassuring but for the fact that Biden is currently ignoring requests, from members of Congress as well as from U.S. allies, to put the Houthis back on the list."
Iran's leaders, for a start, never honored their earlier "commitment," so why would anyone think they would honor this one? In a burst of honesty, though -- and a pretty explicit tip-off -- they stated that they "didn't agree to the U.S. demand and suggested giving the U.S. a private side letter instead."

BLM Spends On Organization That Idolizes Murderers
Black Lives Matter had to release tax information and the results are shocking. The massive amount of money that BLM has taken in and where the money has gone should make people feel uncomfortable donating anything else to the organization.
Along with not providing money to black victim’s families and instead buying multi-million dollar homes, the organization had no problem giving $200,000 to an organization who calls police officers “pigs.” The problem with this is that BLM leaders have their own security and are well taken care of but they don’t want citizens to have the protection of law enforcement.
The organization in question, Equity and Transformation, is located in Chicago, IL where there have been 218 people killed this year alone. There have been 12 fewer people slain this year than in 2021, but the alarming rate of homicides should have citizens calling for as many law enforcement officers as possible.
The Daily Mail reported that the head of Equity and Transformation (EAT), Richard Wallace, “has called officers ‘bastards,’” and “has shown support for late rapper Tupac Shakir’s aunt Assata Shakir – a terrorist wanted by the FBI for the miurder of a New Jersey State Trooper.”
It was also reported that Wallace posted on social media in October 2020, “they are hunting us and will use any excuse to up a pole and end our life. That is why we have to defund these bastards, And take control of our community because they won’t save us.”
Based on Chicago’s homicide rate, the community isn’t saving itself.
Wallace has also written of Assata, “Assata becomes First woman on FBI most wanted… They want to silence our Heroes!”
Apparently cop killers are the heroes of EAT. there’s no telling what they could do with $200,000 to further their movement.
BLM seems insistent on giving as little as possible to any outside source. Fox News reported that BLM gave $2 million to a consulting firm that’s run by a member of their board, they put $1.4 million toward lobbying, they spent $1.8 million on people that have close ties to founder Patrice Cullers to include her father and brother.
Yet, they spent such a small amount on EAT and only spent $200,000 on the Trayvon Martin Foundation. It seems that they enjoy getting rich a lot more than they like enacting change on matters they claim to care about. What they really care about is their own bank account.

Finally, this past week, a lot of "Dovas Duffeses" have been meeting at a fancy Switzerland ski resort where they habitually give each other "high fives." These elites are globalists and know what is best for the world. They are active remnants of Wilkie's one world theory.
Wilkie's theory can be succinctly condensed into this: if the world was comprised of one collective population there would be peace because it would eliminate differences, there would be no Hatfield and McCoys."
What would the world nation be called - DAVOS? What language would all speak - English? Would the failed and corrupt U.N be replaced. What currency would be used - Bitcoins? Would America's Bill of Rights dictate or Lenin and Marx's Manifesto?
I wonder what Davos snake oil would sell for? Worst of all I can envision a war occurring as the nations of the world fight over what they collectively were seeking to adopt.
