1- Elections matter. Who you vote for in your state matters. Voting for strong Republican Governors and Attorneys General is a vital backstop to tyranny.

‘We Will Not Comply’ with Pandemic Treaty, 26 Republican Governors Tell WHO
QUOTE: Twenty-six U.S. governors — over half of the nation’s state leaders — have stated publicly that they will not comply with a World Health Organization (WHO)-led global attempt at controlling U.S. Americans’ health.
In their Aug. 29 statement, the 26 governors — all Republicans — and the Republican Governors Association accused the WHO of “attempting one world control over health policy” by promoting a “pandemic agreement” or “pandemic treaty.”
“Put simply,” they wrote, “Republican Governors will not comply.”
Since 2021, the WHO has been drafting proposals for a pandemic agreement and amendments to its International Health Regulations.
During the organization’s most recent World Health Assembly session, which ended on June 1, WHO negotiators did not agree on a final draft of a pandemic agreement. However, they did make “concrete commitments to completing negotiations on a global pandemic agreement within a year, at the latest, and possibly in 2024,” the WHO stated.
Health freedom activist Dr. Meryl Nass, an internist and founder of Door to Freedom, an organization that lobbied against the WHO pandemic treaty proposals, said of the statement, “very necessary at this time” because the United Nations (U.N.) — which runs the WHO — “seeks to gain world control over emergencies such as cyber emergencies, supply chain emergencies or outer space emergencies.” “The jig is up,” Nass said. “It has become widely understood that the U.N. system is being used in an attempt to centralize its control and usurp national sovereignty.”
The governors said they refuse to comply with a WHO pandemic agreement because it would consolidate power in the hands of the WHO, thereby threatening national sovereignty, states’ rights and U.S. Americans’ constitutionally guaranteed freedoms.
The list of signatories: Governor Kay Ivey (AL), Governor Mike Dunleavy (AK), Governor Sarah Sanders (AR), Governor Ron DeSantis (FL), Governor Brian Kemp (GA), Governor Brad Little (ID), Governor Eric Holcomb (IN), Governor Kim Reynolds (IA), Governor Jeff Landry (LA), Governor Tate Reeves (MS), Governor Mike Parson (MO), Governor Greg Gianforte (MT), Governor Jim Pillen (NE), Governor Joe Lombardo (NV), Governor Chris Sununu (NH), Governor Doug Burgum (ND), Governor Mike DeWine (OH), Governor Kevin Stitt (OK), Governor Henry McMaster (SC), Governor Kristi Noem (SD), Governor Bill Lee (TN), Governor Greg Abbott (TX), Governor Spencer Cox (UT), Governor Glenn Youngkin (VA), Governor Jim Justice (WV), and Governor Mark Gordon (WY).
2- Speaking of governors, Winsome Sears would be excellent in Virginia.
Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears files to run for governor in 2025
QUOTE: Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears (R) filed paperwork this week to run for governor next year in the state.
Sears is the first Republican to jump into the off-year race that will likely dominate campaign news next year. Late last year, Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.) launched her own campaign for the governor’s mansion.
The lieutenant governor, who is a former state delegate, is the first woman of color and second woman to hold statewide office in Virginia. The commonwealth has never had a female governor, making a potential Sears versus Spanberger matchup historic. Sears would also be the first Black female governor in U.S. history.
3- It is amazing that we need bans on food produced by mad scientist in a labortory. But, here we are.
Source your meat from real grass-fed cows, pigs and chickens. Here are two places to research.

Nebraska Governor Signs Order Banning State Agencies From Procuring Lab-Grown Meat
QUOTE: Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen, a Republican, signed an executive order on Thursday barring state agencies from procuring lab-grown meat—or meat products that are developed from animal cells.
“We feed the world and we save the planet more effectively and more efficiently than anybody else and I will defend those practices,” Pillen said in a press release. The executive order also prohibits entities that contract with the State of Nebraska from discriminating against natural meat producers in favor of laboratory or cultivated meat producers.
Lab-grown meat is created in a laboratory by taking stem cells from an animal and placing them in tanks called bioreactors full of a culture medium that enables them to multiply. Producers extract animal cells, typically muscle cells, from living animals via biopsy, a painful procedure that requires the use of large needles. Growing those animal cells requires a growth medium. Many companies use fetal bovine serum (FBS) as the growth medium. FBS is extracted from the body of an unborn calf of a mother cow after it has been slaughtered, as disclosed by SAFE, a New Zealand-based nonprofit dedicated to the prevention of animal cruelty and exploitation.
A 2023 report by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations on safety aspects of “cell-based foods” identified several potential sources of hazards—including heavy metals, chemical contaminants, microplastics, nanoplastics, and allergens—that can cause negative health consequences.
4- Warrior Catherine Englebrecht, who was jailed in an election intregrity fight, has announced funding cameras to watch ballot drop boxes.
Catherine Englebrecht From True the Vote is Funding Livestream CCTV Cameras on Ballot Drop Boxes
QUOTE: In the information war era, the targeting mechanisms have moved away from content targeting to direct targeting of the voices who produce the content that is averse to the interests of the DC state. This is where we see agencies like DHS and the FBI coming into the picture.
One of the first targets in this new era was Catherine Englebrecht of True The Vote. Mrs. Englebrecht was targeted because her organization was essentially the first nation-wide effort focused on sanitizing the local voting rolls that generate voting ballots. In the mail-in vote era where ballots are more valuable than actual people voting, the process of disqualifying ballots before they are printed is a problem for those who rely on fraudulent ballots existing.
Being relentless in their effort to find new and innovative ways to combat the ballot fraud, True The Vote is now partnering with willing Sheriff’s offices (the highest constitutional officer in every county). The objective is to place CCTV Cameras on ballot drop boxes in the key areas where ballot fraud is most likely.
It’s not an end-all fix, and it certainly is only one component to combatting ballot fraud; however, the process of monitoring the inbound ballot delivery process is one part of a larger effort to stop/deter ballot fraud.
5- Leftist policy is so bad that even far left crazies can not support it. For years, the Democrats in California have been promising their black constituency they would pass reparations. With total Democrat control of the legislature and governor office, this was the time to fulfill the promise. But, the left could not quite pull it off, leaving the Black Caucus furious. Guess what Black Caucus, this is not the only thing the Democrats have lied to you about. Wake UP!!
There is immense pressure to give into reparations, so, this will probably pass eventually, but, it will face years of constitutional challenges.
Black activists outraged after Republicans call Democrats’ bluff on reparations, say the bill will hurt Harris campaign
QUOTE: California Republicans called a bluff by Democrats on reparations, and black activists responded by saying they would refuse to vote for the Democratic presidential ticket.
The uproar included a protest by leaders in the black community staging protests at the California legislature while Democrats voted to table their own bill on offering reparations.
‘What we saw was a complete betrayal by the California Legislative Black caucus against their own constituents.’
Videos on social media from the protest captured protesters directly addressing Democrats.
“The speaker needs to bring the bills up now, now, now. These are their bills. They have their names on the bills. They’re killing their own bills because they’re scared of the governor,” said a black member of Coalition for a Just and Equitable California.
The black caucus tabled the reparations bill and said that more work was needed, but critics accused the caucus of shirking its responsibility in order to keep Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s presidential hopes alive.
6- There are many very important and demanding issues that will need addressing when President Trump is back. Our out-of-control government is in the top five most important. We hope that Elon Musk will be able to hold people accountable to actually doing this! The Swamp will pitch a fevered battle to stop all efforts to reduce them.
Trump WILL Establish Government Efficiency Commission Proposed by Musk: Report.
QUOTE: Former President Donald J. Trump will establish the Government Efficiency Commission proposed to him by tech mogul Elon Musk during an interview on the X (formerly Twitter) platform, according to reports. The America First Leader is expected to announce the commission will oversee “a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government” and outline “recommendations for drastic reform” at the Economic Club of New York on Thursday.
Trump and Musk bonded over their mutual disdain for government waste during the conversation in August, with the former president observing, “[N]obody negotiates prices.” He cited efforts by officials to get him to sign off on $5.7 billion for Boeing to provide two Air Force One jets while he was in office, as an example, with Musk calling the sum “insane” and suggesting similar bloat could be multiplied “by a zillion” across government.
Musk, who believes this overspending is responsible for inflation, said “it would be great to just have a government efficiency commission that takes a look at these things and just ensures that the taxpayer money, the taxpayer’s hard-earned money, is spent in a good way.”
“I’d be happy to help out on such a commission,” he added, with Trump saying he would “love” this.
Previously, Musk has expressed exasperation with Kamala Harris’s failure to connect a single person to the Internet since she was appointed rural broadband czar by Joe Biden in 2021, despite having a budget of $42 billion for the role, noting that his Starlink satellite network could have completed the job for a fraction of that sum by now.
7- Say what you will about President Trump, but, he has NEVER had to bus people in from other states to fill up his rallies! And why is Kamala in New Hampshire? The state has only voted for one Republican President since 1992.
Kamala Harris Buses in People From Massachusetts to Her New Hampshire Rally
QUOTE: Kamala Harris on Wednesday held a campaign rally in Portsmouth, New Hampshire with two months until Election Day.
Harris had to bus in supporters… AGAIN.
At least a dozen yellow buses full of people from Massachusetts arrived at Harris’s New Hampshire rally.
Trump’s press secretary said a local New Hampshire radio host told her Kamala Harris is bussing in people from Massachusetts to her New Hampshire rally.
At least 12 yellow buses were seen leaving the Kamala Harris rally!
Kamala Harris laughably claimed she supports small businesses in her New Hampshire campaign speech.
Under Kamala Harris’s tax plan, small businesses will get crushed.
Last week Harris had to bus in supporters to her Savannah rally held at the Enmarket Arena.
Kamala struggled to drum up local support since a famous singer wasn’t available to perform in Savannah Thursday night.
She resorted to busing in support.
8- It is always good to see a sign of life in the Republican controlled House of Representatives.
Side Note: Do you think there are enough three letter acronyms in this story?
House Panel Subpoenas Walz Over $250M COVID Fraud.
QUOTE: Kamala Harris‘s running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, faces a congressional subpoena in an investigation into the misuse of COVID-19 relief funds. The House Education and the Workforce Committee demands documents related to the Minnesota Department of Education’s (MDE) management of federal child nutrition programs (FCNP).
The probe centers on Feeding Our Future (FOF), a Muslim-run Minnesota nonprofit accused of a $250 million fraud scheme targeting hunger relief efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Department of Justice (DOJ) has called the scheme an exploitation of programs intended to feed children in need.
“As the chief executive and the highest ranking official in the state of Minnesota, you are responsible for the MDE and its administration of FCNPs,” Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC) wrote to Walz. “Statements in the press by you and your representatives indicate that you and other executive officers were involved, or had knowledge of, MDE’s administration of the FCNP and responsibilities and actions regarding the massive fraud,” she added.
An Office of the Legislative Auditor (OLA) report has criticized MDE’s oversight of FOF, identifying it as “inadequate” and rife with opportunities for fraud.
Officials have issued subpoenas to MDE Commissioner Willie Jett, Agriculture Secretary Thomas Vilsack, and Agriculture Department Inspector General Phyllis Fong. They must all comply by September 18.
9- The holidays are going to be interesting for THIS family!! Not only have the Nebraska Walz branch publicly said they do not agree with Tim’s ideology, they ordered matching tee shirts, a Trump flag and took a photo!!! We know the Drive By Media will reporting on this widely.
“WALZ’S FOR TRUMP” – Tim Walz’s Family Snubs Harris-Walz, Endorses Trump
QUOTE: Tim Walz’s family in Nebraska endorsed President Trump
President Trump thanked Tim Walz’s brother, Jeff Walz.
Last week it was reported that Tim Walz’s own brother, Jeff Walz, has reportedly considered joining forces with Trump, publicly criticizing his brother as “not the type of character you want making decisions about your future.”
10- As if we needed more reasons to support President Trump, Deep Stater Liz Cheney, who lost her re-election by 37 points, has announced she will vote for Kamala.
But, the internet is forever.
Here is what Liz tweeted in 2020.
She was right before she was so WRONG!
PRAY without ceasing for God’s divine intervention to save our country.
