As the Biden administration reels from a string of recent legal defeats, political analysts hail the U.S. Supreme Court’s latest ruling, West Virginia v. EPA, as but one component of a new, broad-based approach that the courts are taking to halt a century-long effort by progressives to empower the administrative state and rule Americans by bureaucratic decree…. Now, for the first time in a century, a series of rulings from federal courts have put up a roadblock to halt administrative encroachment. Two factors have brought about this change. First, the appointment by the Trump administration of 234 federal judges, including three Supreme Court justices. And second, the Biden administration’s unusually brazen attempts to push federal agencies well beyond their legal authority in order to impose a left-wing agenda on the United States without popular consent.

House Passes Same-Sex Marriage Bill, Backed by 47 Republicans – Epoch Times
“Specifically, the bill repeals and replaces provisions that define, for purposes of federal law, marriage as between a man and a woman and spouse as a person of the opposite sex with provisions that recognize any marriage that is valid under state law,” reads the bill’s summary on Congress’s website. “The bill also repeals and replaces provisions that do not require states to recognize same-sex marriages from other states with provisions that prohibit the denial of full faith and credit or any right or claim relating to out-of-state marriages on the basis of sex, race, ethnicity, or national origin,” the bill’s summary continued. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) introduced the bill on July 18. …Nadler takes the position that same-sex marriage is a “fundamental right” that was targeted by the Supreme Court.
This Is Very Dangerous’: If You See Folded Money on the Floor Like This, Do Not Pick It Up—Here’s Why – Epoch Times
A shocking public service announcement is warning everyone not to pick up folded money that you might find on the floor in public places such as gas stations. The paper bills could be lethal envelopes carrying deadly fentanyl, which can kill with just one dose. The Perry County Sheriff’s Office in Tennessee recently found two instances of folded paper bills in gas stations. Inside was a white, powdery substance that tested positive for methamphetamine and fentanyl. Posting a picture online, the Sheriff stated: “This is very dangerous, folks! Please share and educate your children to not pick up the money. … This potentially deadly find is another symptom of the surge in fentanyl flooding into America from across its southern border in what some analysts are calling an “undeclared war” by China levelled against the United States.

Forced Veganism Could Be An End-Time Sign – Doreen Virtue
Doreen’s video is about the topic of forced veganism, which seems to be part of the globalist’s agenda. She used a lot of scripture to make points about food, and ultimately stated that we are permitted to eat all food with a thankful heart to the Lord. She quoted some articles about Bill Gates owning 269,000 acres of farmland and that he and other globalists want developed nations to begin eating synthetic meat. The video also talked about how farmers are being oppressed by globalists via taxes and legislation. they plan to take farmland [the prior post talked about the UN and globalists moving against farmers]
Alex Newman Explains UN Agenda 2030 Behind Farming Restrictions – Epoch Times
The United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for sustainable development informs government policies to restrict farming and transform the food systems in different parts of the world, said Alex Newman, an award-winning international journalist who has covered this issue for over a decade. The 2030 Agenda is a plan of action devised by the United Nations (U.N.) to achieve 17 sustainable development goals (SDG). The goals and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development were adopted by all UN member states in 2015. …Newman said that, in his view, the U.N. ultimately wants to get rid of private land ownership. “We see this all over the world. This is not just happening in the Netherlands.” … “One of the things that the communists loved to do is create scarcity and create dependents. As long as you have independent people who are able to take care of themselves, there really is no need for the government to run your life and to control everything that you do,” Newman said.
For America’s Progressive Elites, ‘Science Is Violence’ – Epoch Times
America’s progressive elites have transitioned from “Follow the Science” to “Science Is Violence.” Their senior-most judges will not define what a woman is, nor will their celebrated scholars acknowledge that only a woman can give birth. In fact, to even assert the latter, in our betters’ view, is to render one a dangerous societal menace. …What Bridges illustrated is that progressivism requires one to ignore science, our basic humanity, and what we know to be true, and subordinate it all to a secular regressive anti-faith, of which radical gender ideology has become a sacred and integral part.
Taking a Break From the Circus- Epoch Times – Conrad Black
Returning last week from Europe it was a tremendous shock to be reminded of the complete failure in every field of the Biden administration, of the inability of any authorized spokesperson for that administration to explain or justify any element of official policy, and particularly to see, all of a sudden and not after a gradual buildup through the infelicities and press baiting sessions of the Trump administration, Biden’s ill-tempered and completely inadequate explanations to the generally fawning press of his conduct.
Could Politicians in the West Persecute Their Own People?
The thirteen-minute video in this post provides insight into how totalitarian governments gain control of a nation, such as is happening in the western world. The Academy of Ideas does a better job summarizing this topic than I have been able to do via numerous posts. If you do not yet understand how it is that a country makes the transition from a republic to a totalitarian regime, then this post will help you. You will find that the process may be past the point of no return unless the masses rise up against it. Ideas may be gleaned from the video about what sorts of actions are required, that you might begin doing.
