We are not on our knees, thanks to four years of the Trump Presidency.

For all of 2020, during COVID-19, total increases in non-agricultural unemployment in the heartland states averaged around 4.5% overall, while on the west and east coasts, the numbers were roughly half again as high, or in some cases twice as high (New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts), over the course of January through November 2020.

There have already been several significant developments in our “Hands Off Trump” battlefront this week, and this round up will demonstrate why our "Hands Off Trump" petition drive on our homepage is so important. We are demanding a full accounting of the activities of the FBI and other intelligence agencies through their undercover agents and informants in the events of January 6th. Our on the ground sources told us that provocateurs of the Antifa type were a significant part of the assault on the Capitol. There are numerous other reports saying the same thing.

Hands Off Trump! Sign And Circulate This Petition

As the week opens, the Congress and the White House remain encased in fences and barbed wire with the National Guard still present, protecting the nation’s political leaders from a purported threat which has never been revealed. There is every reason to believe that it is the people who they claim to represent who are the source of their fears.

Nancy Pelosi appointed the unhinged, so-called “Raging Cajun,” Lt. Gen Russel Honore, to lead a 9/11 Commission to examine events at the Capitol on January 6th. This loud-mouthed jerk has already asserted that Capitol Police and the House Sargent at Arms were complicit because they were pro-Trump. He has urged that Rep. Elise Stefanik be put on the “no-fly” list and called for Senator Josh Hawley to be “disbarred and run out of town.” [Demonstrators at the Capitol. January 6, 2021.

If you want to see what the future will be like under the Great Reset pushed by Biden and the Davos elite, just look at what’s happening in Texas right now. As a strong winter storm brings below freezing temperatures, with snow and ice over most of the state, there are massive electrical shortages causing untold hardship and death. More than 4 million people are out of electricity and several deaths have already been blamed on the shortages. The state’s cattle, dairy, and poultry farmers face a growing disaster the longer power is out.
