A new beer brand that sprang into existence alongside the far-reaching boycott of Bud Light has already surpassed $1 million in sales and can now be found in stores in two states.

When Bud Light teamed with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney back in April, one father decided to take matters into his own hands and launched his own beer -- Conservative Dad's Ultra Right.

In a commercial announcing Ultra Right, Seth Weathers described the brew as a “100 percent woke-free beer."

In a video released a few weeks later, Weathers vowed, "Ultra Right beer and this movement will never be stopped, no matter what they throw at us."

Well, apparently, he was right.

While Ultra Right was initially only for sale online, it is now being distributed to stores in Georgia and Arkansas, and Weathers is working on adding several other states to that list.

"We're sending this beer out by the tractor-trailer load," he told Fox Business on Wednesday.

"First, they mocked us," Weathers said in a statement. "They said we’d never sell any beer, they said we’d never get the beer made, they said we would never get distributors, and then they said we’d never get shelf space in stores.

"I’m proud to say, we’ve accomplished all those things in a matter of months."


Weathers added that Ultra Right isn't just anti-woke in name only -- he's actually putting his money where his mouth is.

"Conservatives have had enough of woke corporations, and they’re fighting back with their wallet," he said. "We’re doing our part to fight for the causes that matter to our customers by donating a portion of sales to defeating woke school board members across the country."

Fox reported that Ultra Right has surpassed $1 million in sales, gained over 10,000 customers, and sold 20,000 six-packs within two weeks of its launch.

And appearing in stores will bring even greater success.

Weathers is right, of course.

Conservatives cannot continue to give our money to the uber-woke corporations that are actively working to undermine our values. We need to seek out companies like Ultra Right that proudly support American ideals.

Tucker Carlson is now teasing a potentially explosive interview with a man purporting to be Barack Obama's homosexual lover when the former president was a state senator in Illinois.

During an appearance on "The Adam Carolla Show," Carlson dug up the case of Larry Sinclair, who was ridiculed by many in the national news media after allegations he smoked crack cocaine and had sex with Obama in 1999.

"In 2008, it became really clear that Barack Obama had been having sex with men and smoking crack," Carlson began.

"A guy came forward, Larry Sinclair, and said 'I'll sign an affidavit' and he did, 'I'll do a lie detector' and he did," Carlson added. "'I smoked crack with Barack Obama and had sex with him.' Well, that was obviously true."

"Nobody reported it not because they were squeamish about sex or drugs but because the Obama campaign said anyone who reports on this gets no access to the Obama campaign," he said. "So, they didn't report on it."

Is the news we hear every single day actually broadcasting messages from God? The answer is an absolute yes! Find out how!

"That's just one small example, but that happens all the time with lots of different issues."

When Carolla asked if Carlson believed the allegations actually transpired, Tucker responded: "The Larry Sinclair story? That definitely happened. Oh, for sure. I talked to Larry Sinclair about it. Definitely it happened."

"Larry Sinclair has been in and out of prison 40 years ago, he's got a criminal record by definition and he's poor, he's got a disordered life, he's missing a tooth.

"I think he has a record of deception but this story, if you listen to it in detail, is clearly true."

Carlson added: "It's not going to change the world that Barack Obama likes dudes, I think this was well-known."

"The amount of lying in the media about it was unbelievable.

"This happens all the time up and down government."

It was not immediately clear when Carlson's interview with Sinclair would be broadcast.

In a 2018 commentary by WND columnist Jack Cashill, the author of "Unmasking Obama," Cashill recounted the sordid details between Sinclair and Obama:

As the story goes, and he told it very convincingly, Sinclair came to Chicago in November 1999 to attend his godson's graduation.

He asked his limo driver, name provided, if he could recommend someone with whom he could "socialize" while in Chicago.

The driver recommended Obama by name. When Obama showed up, he introduced himself as "Barack Obama."

Together they smoked crack and Sinclair performed fellatio on Obama. The next day Obama showed up at Sinclair's hotel, and they repeated the ritual.

Sinclair first became aware of Obama's political career when he gave his keynote speech at the Democratic Convention in 2004. Sinclair was living in Mexico at the time.

In September 2007, according to Sinclair, he contacted the Obama campaign with the request that Obama tell the truth about his use of drugs.

At the time, Obama, then a candidate for president, was telling the media he did not use drugs after college.

Some time later Sinclair received a call from a "Mr. Young" who allegedly worked with the Obama campaign. Young wanted to know if Sinclair had told his story of sex and drugs to anyone in the media.

The nature of the call surprised Sinclair in that he had not mentioned the sex part of his get-together with Obama.

In a second contact that October, Young claimed he was "personally involved" with Obama and wanted to make sure Sinclair had not talked to the media.

In a third contact in early December, according to Sinclair, Young confessed that he was just milking Sinclair for details about his rendezvous with Obama and that Obama had no plan to correct the record on his drug use.

On Dec. 24, 2007, Chicago's ABC station reported that the choir director at Rev. Jeremiah Wright's Trinity United Church of Christ, Donald Young, was found shot to death.

Sinclair believed that this was the same "Mr. Young" who contacted him. As WND reported in 2012, Young was openly gay, and many in the Trinity United community, including Young's mother, believe Young was murdered to protect Obama's reputation.

Of course, none of this interested either the mainstream media or the respectable conservative media.

Earlier this month, WND reported on Barack's brother Malik Obama's assertion that Barack is homosexual.

"This guy must be gay," he tweeted, referring to Barack's public support for keeping pornographic books in libraries.

It also emerged that Barack Obama wrote in a letter to his ex-girlfriend, saying over 40 years ago that he "make[s] love to men daily, but in the imagination," according to the New York Post.

"In regard to homosexuality, I must say that I believe this is an attempt to remove oneself from the present, a refusal perhaps to perpetuate the endless farce of earthly life," Obama wrote to Alex McNear, according to the Post. "You see, I make love to men daily, but in the imagination."

"My mind is androgynous to a great extent and I hope to make it more so until I can think in terms of people, not women as opposed to men. But, in returning to the body, I see that I have been made a man, and physically in life, I choose to accept that contingency," Barack's letter says.

Malik Obama was apparently bolstered by the revelation, as he retweeted the article with the caption, "Interesting."

Malik also shared a classic message President Trump had tweeted about Barack Obama back in March 2012:

"When I was 18, people called me Donald Trump. When he was 18, @BarackObama was Barry Soweto. Weird."

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Today's ruling elites champion policies every previous generation of Americans would have regarded as outright evil. At the top of that list would be the supremely radioactive issue – illuminated by the hit summer film "Sound of Freedom" – of the widespread trafficking and sexual slavery of children, as well as the shocking prevalence of pedophiles in the United States of America. Indeed, the U.S. is the largest market for child sexual abuse in the world.

According to Tim Ballard, who has led many missions rescuing sex-trafficked children around the world, the Biden administration actually ENABLES AND PROMOTES the trafficking and sexual slavery of children with its horrendous border policies, its push for early sexualization of children, championing children's "right to consent" on everything including mutilating transgender surgeries, and so on.

"Pedophiles are sitting back right now," says Ballard, "and going, ‘We've been pushing this agenda for decades, and now we don't have to push any more, because the left is taking care of it for us' – IN AMERICA!"

Ballard's concerns are confirmed by Tara Lee Rodas, a Health and Human Services whistleblower who recently testified before Congress that under Joe Biden, "THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HAS BECOME THE MIDDLEMAN IN A LARGE-SCALE, MULTI-BILLION-DOLLAR CHILD TRAFFICKING OPERATION."

But that's just the beginning. The whole, secret criminal mega-enterprise of child sex trafficking and the global elites' affinity for pedophilia is exposed as never before in the August issue of WND's critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, in a groundbreaking issue titled "THE NEW AMERICAN SLAVE TRADE: How the Biden regime enables and promotes child sex trafficking in the U.S.A."

Rising Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy stirred up a controversy for himself recently by talking about cutting American aid to Israel, the only democracy in its part of the world and a strong ally to America.

Now he's updating, or clarifying, or reversing, depending on political persuasion.

It is the Washington Free Beacon that reports he says funding to Israel should continue until Jerusalem "tells the U.S. that it no longer needs the aid."

He was "facing backlash," the report explained because the statement is different from his challenge earlier this month that "come 2028, that additional aid won't be necessary."

The U.S. now sends Israel about $3 billion annually, most of which is spent in the U.S. defense industry.

After the earlier statement, he took criticism from pro-Israel leaders and Nikki Haley, who also is seeking the GOP nomination for president.

She charged he was "completely wrong to call for ending America's special bond with Israel."

He responded to Haley, also an Indian-American, "Keep lying, Nimarata Randhawa."

The report explained Haley’s maiden name was Randhawa prior to her marriage to Michael Haley in 1996. Her first name is Nimarata, although she goes by her middle name Nikki.

Ramaswamy's campaign also said he would want to "partner with Israel to ensure that Iran never acquires nuclear capabilities."

His comments about ending aid came in an interview with the Free Beacon when he said aid could be cut off when the current spending plan adopted by Congress expires in 2028.

He said the aid would not be needed because his intent would be to negotiate new peace treaties involving Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Indonesia and Oman right away.

"If we’re successful, the true mark of success for the U.S., and for Israel, will be to get to a 2028 where Israel is so strongly standing on its own two feet, integrated into the economic and security infrastructure of the rest of the Middle East, that it will not require and be dependent on that same level of historical aid or commitment from the U.S.," said Ramaswamy.

Weeks ago, he said the U.S. could roll back military aid if it's part of a "broader disengagement" in the Middle East issues.

The report said the "fact-check" on Ramaswamy's website was changed this week to affirm he wouldn't "cut aid to Israel until Israel tells the U.S. that it no longer needs the aid."

"That’s what Vivek actually said, so don’t believe the opponents’ lies that he wants to cut aid to Israel—which makes zero sense as a foreign policy priority any time in the foreseeable future," said Ramaswamy’s campaign.

You know it's the most lawless time in America.

But the media generally don't care. Those who like our sick culture don't care. And those who lie, steal and cheat don't care.

It's as if people never heard of God's Ten Commandments. We've reached a zenith in this country with people "calling evil good and good evil." If ever there were a time and place for reminding them of right and wrong, this would be it. After all, the Commandments have been taken down from schools, universities, government buildings, courtrooms, law schools, even churches and synagogues.

Why would WND, a Christian, conservative news service, initiate an effort to place the Commandments on billboards throughout the nation? Because America needs an urgent reminder of who we once were. We were once a Christian nation. A lot of water has gone under the bridge since then. No one could have imagined what would transpire in America so rapidly and relentlessly.

One-hundred years ago, it was not unusual for newspapers to erect similar billboards. It was not unusual to see prayers printed in the daily paper. But that was before we forgot God. And look what happened to us as a nation.

WND billboard on U.S. 75 near Coit Road in North Dallas, Texas.

It's not the first time we've put up these kinds of billboards. The last time WND began such an endeavor was in 2013 – when Barack Obama was president. We thought that was a bad time in America. The nation had not been pushed so hopelessly off its moorings, its bearings. Think how America's character has changed since then.

In 2020, many people believed we had an election STOLEN. Today the same president who supposedly won is daring to run again. President Donald Trump has been indicted four times now – for nothing! To keep him from running and winning.

To make up for that, these precious words should be placed on billboards from coast to coast.

I don't have to tell this audience crime has skyrocketed in every way – especially in major cities. And even the government, which once held the line on it, now seems to embrace lawless behavior, doing its level best to ignore and inflame it. What a difference 10 years makes.

Many believe it's too late, that we may lose America. But I'm betting for another chance. I'm betting for a miracle. I'm counting on a merciful God that will seek our repentance. All we have to do is ask, sincerely. I hope and pray.

This campaign is intended to help awaken believers and non-believers alike to the wickedness and corruption that abound in America today, right now. It's time to meet God and say we're sorry.

This is a hard campaign for WND to wage alone. Since our successful Ten Commandments billboard campaign 10 years ago, we have been "canceled," attacked, mocked, lied about, suppressed, demonetized and blacklisted by Big Tech and other entities, threatened with extinction because we try to follow God's ways as a Christian news source. Nevertheless, we are now stepping out in faith in the One True God to ask for help in making His Commandments – not His suggestions – more widely known and thought about during this time of dire need.

We're also counting on America in seeing what is happening to this nation, once under God, and praying it will be once again.

Do you like the sound of that?

We're off to the races with our first billboard – right in the heart of Texas. It takes a long time to get one billboard up. This took three months. But it's a start – hopefully the start of many more.

America has never needed a campaign like this as badly as it does right now. God seeks sincere repentance from all of us. It's what he wants more than anything else from people who seek to walk with Him. He wants to forgive us all, and He seeks genuine revival and renewal.

The hour is late. Can you give as little as $25 to this cause, which should appeal to all Christians and Jews, all worshipers of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to display the Commandments on public billboards from coast to coast?

America desperately needs a reminder of Who guides the universe in the affairs of men and what He requires of His children. Americans need awareness of their sins before they can repent of them. And until that happens, America's fate has been cast to the wind. America needs the Ten Commandments – they need to be seen dramatically and boldly throughout this country.

II Chronicles 7:14 says, "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

But if Americans don't understand their sin, which is defined by the Ten Commandments, how can they turn from their wicked ways? And how will God hear them and heal their land?

Please respond today by prayerfully contributing to this campaign to help spark real spiritual revival in what has long been the greatest nation on earth.

A former corporate trainer in "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion," or DEI, says the industry must perpetuate racism and see it "where it doesn't exist" because that is the sole basis for its highly lucrative business.

"Think about it: If you're making all that money off of racism, the last think you want is for racism to go away. You're going to perpetuate it. You're going to see it where it isn't," Erec Smith said as a guest Tuesday on Fox News' "Jesse Watters Primetime."

Smith said the single dominant thought that dominates DEI training is that "any problem a black person has – any problem – is because of racism."

Ex-diversity trainer Erec Smith, right, appears on Fox News with host Jesse Watters (Video screenshot)

Fox describes Smith co-founder of "Free Black Thought," a nonprofit dedicated to unpacking diversity of thought within the Black community." The Free Black Thought site states: "Black thought varies as widely as black individuals."

Watters introduced his interview with Smith by playing clips of DEI videos from three mega-corporations: Coca-Cola Co., Apple and Amazon.

"Companies pay diversity consultants big money to 'train' their employees," Watters said, making air quotes with his fingers around the word train. "And then they check a little box in their annual report: my company's not racist, please buy our product."

"But it's a shakedown," he said, noting that DEI is a $3.5 billion industry.

'Racism is everywhere'

Smith told Watters: "The major tenet of critical social justice pedagogy is: Don't ask if racism happened, ask how it manifested in this situation. Which is to say: there's racism everywhere."

"And you know the saying, if you're a hammer, then everything's a nail. Well, if you're a critical social justice activist, everything's racist," he said.

Smith said when he was a diversity officer, he "realized how useless it was," noting you cannot compel people to think a certain way –"you can't be a thought police." Moreover, he said, "I was always preaching to the choir. It wasn't working."

Fox News reports, "Smith's remarks come as some experts have questioned the legality of the DEI policies moving forward following the Supreme Court's decision to rule against affirmative action back in June. ... The Supreme Court said in a 6-3 decision that colleges and universities could not include race considerations in their admissions process, effectively outlawing what's known as affirmative action and upending previous legal precedent that allowed it."

In the aftermath of the Supreme Court striking down affirmative action, white and Asian employees who say they have been discriminated against have been emboldened to pursue legal action against corporations that justify their de facto racist policies using "diversity" ideology (i.e., hiring, promoting and firing not based on merit but rather skin color, gender or ethnicity).

Ironically, Fox Corporation, the parent company of Fox News, champions the same "Diversity & Inclusion" culture that Watters rails against (although he, like most conservatives, says he has no problem with diversity itself). In the last couple of years, Fox News has begun to run special "Pride Month" segments during June, usually featuring openly homosexual reporters and producers doing one-sided puff pieces on famous gay people and LGBT issues – all playing into that aspect of the DEI formula.

And in late May, Fox's mid-day host and star Harris Faulkner outraged conservatives by implying that the network has no choice but to embrace leftist DEI polices due to government diversity mandates in New York, where Fox is based: “Many states are mandating [DEI] now. Here at Fox, other corporations, there will be things they’re gonna have to change because the state of New York requires it.”

A Fox Corp. page on "Diversity & Inclusion: Building A Diverse And Inclusive FOX" states: "The stories we tell reflect the rich complexity of our world, and we continue to seek out new voices both in front of and behind the camera. Programs are designed to nurture writers and directors who have diverse voices, backgrounds and life experiences, while creating a strong pipeline of diverse talent for the company’s productions across all media types and platforms."

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Today's ruling elites champion policies every previous generation of Americans would have regarded as outright evil. At the top of that list would be the supremely radioactive issue – illuminated by the hit summer film "Sound of Freedom" – of the widespread trafficking and sexual slavery of children, as well as the shocking prevalence of pedophiles in the United States of America. Indeed, the U.S. is the largest market for child sexual abuse in the world.

According to Tim Ballard, who has led many missions rescuing sex-trafficked children around the world, the Biden administration actually ENABLES AND PROMOTES the trafficking and sexual slavery of children with its horrendous border policies, its push for early sexualization of children, championing children's "right to consent" on everything including mutilating transgender surgeries, and so on.

"Pedophiles are sitting back right now," says Ballard, "and going, 'We've been pushing this agenda for decades, and now we don't have to push any more, because the left is taking care of it for us' – IN AMERICA!"

Ballard's concerns are confirmed by Tara Lee Rodas, a Health and Human Services whistleblower who recently testified before Congress that under Joe Biden, "THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HAS BECOME THE MIDDLEMAN IN A LARGE-SCALE, MULTI-BILLION-DOLLAR CHILD TRAFFICKING OPERATION."

But that's just the beginning. The whole, secret criminal mega-enterprise of child sex trafficking and the global elites' affinity for pedophilia is exposed as never before in the August issue of WND's critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, in a groundbreaking issue titled "THE NEW AMERICAN SLAVE TRADE: How the Biden regime enables and promotes child sex trafficking in the U.S.A." WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.

Having written four books about Barack Obama, I read Jamie Glazov's new book, "Barack Obama's True Legacy," not expecting any surprises. To my surprise, I was pleasantly surprised.

Glazov, the editor, assigned subject matter experts to review Obama's policy decisions as president, with a focus on foreign policy. This strategy provides a depth of reporting not found in other assessments of the Obama presidency, my own included.

It's unlikely that future Obama historians will know more about the Muslim Brotherhood than Robert Spencer, more about communism than Trevor Loudon, more about Benghazi than Clair Lopez, more about Israel than Daniel Greenfield or Dov Lipman, or more about Russia than J.R. Nyquist, just to name a few.

The opening chapter by John Drew sets the tone for what follows. Drew first met the future president when Obama was a student at Occidental College in Los Angeles.

The Obama Drew meets is a closeted homosexual and an uncloseted anti-colonialist and wannabe communist revolutionary. "There's going to be a revolution," Drew remembers Obama saying. "We need to be organized and grow the movement."

The President Obama we meet in future chapters is more discreet, and yet his policies suggest that the young man Drew met never really changed his outlook about communism or revolutionary Islam.

I do the book an injustice by summarizing each chapter, so let me focus on the one chapter I found most intriguing, "Obama's Russia Collusion" by J.R. Nyquist.

Nyquist begins with a question most Obama biographers have chosen to overlook – why were Obama's mother and his presumed father taking a Russian class? This is the class at the University of Hawaii in which they reportedly first met.

The year was 1960. The Cold War was at its peak. The Soviet Union was our avowed enemy. The Kenyan Barack Obama was, as Nyquist points out, an African socialist; the mom, Ann Dunham, a cultural Marxist.

Both openly disdained capitalism and tolerated America only for the perks. "Perhaps they were learning Russian because their ideals aligned with those of the 'socialist motherland'?" Nyquist asks.

Perhaps, too, Obama was groomed from the beginning to fulfill the pro-Soviet ambitions of his parents. If so, the choice of CPUSA member and possible KGB agent Frank Marshall Davis to be Obama's mentor was part of the plan.

Nyquist analyzes President Obama's seemingly schizophrenic Russia policy through the eyes of an Islam-friendly socialist who was possibly "the secret creature of the Russian communists."

This admittedly sounds like the stuff of a Le Carré novel, but Nyquist relates a story that, if true, adds considerable credence to his theory.

In 2010, Nyquist recorded an interview with American physicist Tom Fife who lived and worked in Russia in the 1990s. As Fife told the story, he was at a party hosted during that decade by a Russian physicist and his wife, "an apparatchik of some sort within the Communist Party."

The wife, who had been drinking, explained that America would soon have a black president who had been "groomed" to be just that.

"She said he had a white mother and he had a black African father," Fife continued. "She thought that this was great because then he wouldn't have any slave baggage to go along with it."

According to Fife, the woman said his name was "Barack," which was Arabic for blessing, and that "he'll be a blessing for our world efforts; a blessing for world communism."

The idea that Obama has been groomed by a communist-Islamist alliance is not as fanciful as it sounds. In 1979, Vernon Jarrett, a widely syndicated black columnist then with the Chicago Tribune, reported on a conversation he had with attorney Khalid Al-Mansour.

Jarrett, by the way, was the father-in-law of intimate Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett. As a young reporter and fellow traveler in Chicago, Jarrett had as mentor Frank Marshall Davis. Small world.

According to Jarrett, al-Mansour had been encouraging Arab leaders to take a more active role in black America. This effort would include "giving financial help to disadvantaged students." For the record, 1979 was the year Obama began his studies at the pricy Occidental College.

In March 2008, al-Mansour made the news once again. During an interview on a NY1 show "Inside City Hall," venerable black New York politico Percy Sutton matter-of-factly told host Dominic Carter how he first became aware of Barack Obama.

According to Sutton, he had been "introduced to [Obama] by a friend." Sutton described the friend, Dr. Khalid al-Mansour, as "the principal adviser to one of the world's richest men."

Sutton was referring here to Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal. Reportedly, al-Mansour asked that Sutton "please write a letter in support of [Obama] … a young man that has applied to Harvard." The well-connected Sutton obliged him, and the rest is history.

In my 2020 book, "Unmasking Obama," I tell the story of the media's desperate – but successful – effort to kill the Percy Sutton story before the 2008 election. The fact that Al-Waleed bin Talal and al-Mansour were both overt anti-Semites would not have played well in the final weeks of the campaign.

Future historians would do well to ignore the reporting of the legacy media altogether. For those interested in the real story, "Barack Obama's True Legacy" would be a much better place to start.

Jack Cashill's new book, "Untenable: The True Story of White Ethnic Flight from America's Cities," is now available in all formats.

The West has been in decline for decades, possibly longer, depending on the metric.

But there's no question crime is surging, up is division between conservatives who long for a traditional America of their memory and extremists who want to make it a pro-abortion, pro-transgender Marxist state, rhetoric more and more is leading to physical violence, the economy, led by Joe Biden, is tanking and more.

So what would help? Who can save it?

President Donald Trump, according to Prime Minister Viktor Orban of Hungary, the leader of one of the more conservative, Christian nations around the globe today.

In a recent interview with Tucker Carlson, Orban argued that Donald Trump is the man who can save the Western world and that he "had the greatest foreign policy he has seen over the past several decades from any United States president," according to a report in the National Pulse.

The report noted, "The endorsement from yet another leading populist-nationalist figure on the world stage is likely to deal a hammer blow to Trump’s presidential contenders, with 'Mr. Brexit' Nigel Farage having offered his support to the 45th president in May."

"You can criticize him for many reasons I understand all the discussions, but you know the best foreign policy of the recent several decades belonged to him. He did not initiate any new war, he treated nicely the North Koreans and Russia, and even the Chinese. He delivered the policy which was the best one for [the] Middle East, Abraham Accords: So that was a very good foreign policy," Orban said.

"He’s criticized that he’s not educated enough to understand the world, this into the case… if he would’ve been the president at the moment of the Russian invasion… it would be not possible… So Trump is the man who can save the Western world and probably the human beings in the globe as well,” Orban added.

Orban also warned that the world is on the precipice of a World War III, which likely would be nuclear, because of the clash between Russia and Ukraine which developed when Joe Biden took office.

A blog posting explained he fears, "We are living in a very dangerous moment. So the third world war could be knocking on our door. We have to be very, very careful.”

He added, "If any Western country would send boots on the ground, that would mean a direct war between the West and Russia. And we are in a third world war, immediately. So, it's a very dangerous moment now."

Read Hanne's The Herland Report.

As mental health issues are exploding in the atheist West, with peaking suicide rates, the knowledge of how to protect the heart has never been more vital. How do we stay sane, balanced and healthy in a world where demons and men are waging horrendous wars, the young are ruthlessly slaughtered, and existential confusion and depression fill hearts with darkness and despair?

"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do – life itself – flows from it," said the wise king Solomon of Israel, as recorded in the ancient book of Proverbs, 4:23. The key to healing when the heart is hurt by the turmoil of this world is carefully outlined in the road map to mental health found in the thousands of years old, metaphysical writings of the Holy Scriptures.

The health of the heart of man, defined beyond the mere physical as his innermost being, begins with attention to the thoughts he allows to penetrate his mind. The path to peace of mind implies the need first to clean the heart of its evil passions. Without purity and a clear view of what is right and wrong, what leads into darkness and what carves the path into existential light, there can be no lasting mental peace.

Marxist atheism preaches a nihilist, relativist view of morality that leaves to the individual to decide what he feels is right or wrong. The traditional, historic Western view of these issues outline the very opposite, that the law of nature is a set order that applies to all men, that clearly defines good and evil as separate forces at work in the world. The road map to peace is not relative. It is not an individualized exercise in which each man decides for himself what he considers to be right or wrong, and thereby lives happily ever after. Man needs to use his mind to choose which forces he will allow to work within him. His own choices often produce the result.

What do we allow to enter our heart and which thoughts do we stop at the gate of the mind and prohibit from running their course of destruction within us? "The mind is like a guard, like a vigilant keeper of the inner Jerusalem," says St. Seraphim of Sarov, as found in the book "The Life and Teaching of Saint Seraphim of Sarov": "Standing on the height of spiritual contemplation, it watches through the eyes of purity the hostile powers which try to sneak into the soul and nestle themselves there." He describes your inner king as the mind, the ruler of your feelings. So, which thoughts do you allow to rule your feelings?

The person who pays heed to himself and the innermost workings of his mind, will thereby be following the teaching of St. Paul, taking the whole armor of God upon him, that he may be able to withstand the evil day and stand by the grace of God, as described in the ancient book of wisdom Ephesians, 6:13. The invisible enemies of men are actively trying to corrupt the mind, the entrance to the heart, in order to bring man into the same state of doom the demons of this world are already in. Their pleasure is to take dominion and engrave the heart with the same death and destruction that has sealed their own fate.

"God was favorably disposed to communicate and to take into his spiritual nature none of the manifested creatures but man, whom He came to love most of all His creatures," Macarius the Great, the Egyptian early church father, proclaimed. Man's soul, where God brings peace to his restless heart, is therefore the most valuable asset man has. It is from this source that his mental health springs forth.

"Where, except in uncreated light, can the darkness be drowned?" asks the famous writer C.S. Lewis, author of "The Chronicles of Narnia." He proclaims that Christianity gives a rational explanation to the road map for mental peace.

Our Founding Fathers were pretty smart. They feared the tyranny of the majority that could be manipulated, especially manipulated by a politically driven media and by those who are in power, so they created:

1. a constitution with rights for the individual that are not subject to democratic will, not subject to the tyranny of the majority, not subject to the changing whims of a manipulated population; and

2. a separate, independent judicial branch that is not subject to the will of the people or subject to the executive branch or subject to the legislative branch.

Before coming to any conclusions concerning the guilt of Donald Trump, let's watch what happens with these Trump indictments. Special counsel Jack Smith is 0 for 5 on appeals to the Supreme Court. Democrats have been continually reversed by this Supreme Court for using wrong laws and legal overreach and wrong interpretations of laws and the Constitution. All four Trump indictments by these Democratic prosecutors may suffer the same fate. We will not know until these cases go through the total process of trials and appeals all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. How many other accusations about Trump by Democrats have been proven false?

Let me say it again: All four indictments are by Democratic prosecutors with a political agenda.

Today, the general public is only getting what the mainstream media emphasize, just as with the Russia hoax, with January 6 as an "armed insurrection" and with a host of other Democratic false accusations, so watch what happens to public sentiment as these cases proceed and the people learn more about election fraud and more about the rights granted to Trump under our First Amendment.

Remember, 51 intelligence officers signed the false letter, the lie, that the Hunter laptop was Russian disinformation, and remember that 22 FBI agents lost their jobs for using the Clinton-produced Steele Dossier for a FISA warrant to spy on Trump, and remember that Democrats falsely claimed that January 6 was an armed insurrection (notice that Jack Smith is not claiming it was an insurrection) and that four officers died because of January 6, and remember that Democrats accused Trump of abusing his power when he asked the Georgia secretary of state to find 11,000 votes (notice that the DA in Georgia has not accused Trump of abuse of power) and when he asked Ukraine to investigate the Bidens regarding Burisma.

As with all U.S. citizens, Trump is assumed innocent until "proven" guilty by the due process in our Constitution. This includes the use of the 14th Amendment to try to stop Trump from running for president. All courts are subject to that due process. All. All courts are subject to uphold the rights of citizens that are enumerated in our Constitution. All. And the Constitution takes priority to any laws that are in conflict with it (that is why so many of Smith's convictions have been reversed and why so many laws and executive orders by Biden and the Democrats have been reversed).

Read Article VI of the Constitution, and then read the First Amendment and what it says about freedom of speech, the right of assembly and the right to request a redress for grievances. That is exactly opposite of what these prosecutors and the media want you to do. They want to interpret it for you. These indictments are not proof of crimes committed by Trump. They are indictments, accusations, nothing more.

So watch closely before coming to a conclusion about these cases. Be patient. Please do not fall into the trap of the left of condemning Trump before he is able to make his defense. The left hopes that you condemn Trump before the trials and appeals, hopes that you become wary and abandon Trump. So please be patient. Isn't that what you would want from people if you were in the same situation?

From Article VI of the United States Constitution:

"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."

This week, the Biden administration announced that Medicare would name some 10 prescription drugs it would subject to direct price negotiations. The drugs include Jardiance (diabetes), Entresto (heart failure), Imbruvica (blood cancer) and Stelara (psoriasis). If the companies that created the drugs refuse to kowtow to Medicare, they will be forced to withdraw from Medicare and Medicaid coverage or face a 95% excise tax.

The White House celebrated the decision as a win for taxpayers: after all, they pointed out, the 10 selected drugs were responsible for one-fifth of all Medicare Part D prescription costs between June 1, 2022, and May 31, 2023. "There is no reason," Biden said in a statement, "why Americans should be forced to pay more than any developed nation for life-saving prescriptions just to pad Big Pharma's pockets."

Of course, that's not what's really happening.

First off, drug development is unbelievably expensive. In 2019 alone, the pharmaceutical industry spent $83 billion on research and development. According to a 2020 study, which covered some 632 new therapeutic drugs and biologic agents approved by the FDA, the "estimated median capitalized research and development cost per product was $985 million, counting expenditures on failed trials." The average cost was $1.3 billion (some drugs are much more expensive to develop than others). According to the National Institutes of Health, the success rate of drug development is just 10 to 15%.

Americans bear the brunt of this cost – largely because other countries' free ride. But Americans also capture the industry upside of drug development in the United States. This is why, according to one 2010 study, the United States accounted for "42 percent of prescription drug spending and 40 percent of the total GDP among innovator countries and was responsible for the development of 43.7 percent of the (new molecular entities)." According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the pharmaceutical and medicine manufacturing industry is responsible for some 332,000 jobs.

So, what would the new regulations do? If they are implemented, according to National Review's Jeff Zymeri, drug development will drop off: "The CBO has predicted that the scheme provided for under the IRA would lead to a manufacturer-revenue loss of 15 percent. Such a cut in CBO's predicted 45 new drugs per year would suggest around 6.8 fewer drugs per year, totaling around 121 lost over the 18-year horizon, as one report estimated." The drugs most likely to disappear would be drugs that target rare conditions and thus have less of a market.

As an investor in biotech stock, I can say with confidence that investment will shift out of the sector and into other, freer sectors should the Biden administration move to quash profit margins in the sector. Why would investors sink money into a drug, only to find out that the more successful it is, the less profit there will be in it?

There is another solution: Force other countries to pay their fair share. This would ensure that Americans pay similar prices to those around the world, while also creating incentive for innovation. But that would require politicians to abandon their happy talk and deal in the real world. And that's not something politicians are likely to do.
