The Congress has New Leaders

A Fresh Wind is Blowing.

It's about time, we have a new Speaker in Kevin McCarthy, yet nobody doubts where the power now resides. Twenty Representatives led by Lauren Boebert and Matt Gaetz changed the trajectory of the House of Representatives.

The BLM and queer theory flags over American embassies were hauled down and trashed, the worst of the commies were removed from committee leadership, and the long, hard slog to restore the nation begins.

The economy is in bad shape and getting worse as faith in the United States is at its lowest in history.

The old, drunk hag is gone. Ding Dong, the Witch, is Dead, and a new team of energetic patriots has joined the battle.

It is as if…as if we are experiencing a turning…a Fourth Turning where the old systems have proven themselves incapable of maintaining the fire and vigor that is America's birthright. When we needed heroes, they arose, picked up their swords and shields, and took on the entrenched leech and parasitic class.

Their motto? Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!

Things will be different, and there will be tremendous economic repercussions ahead, but we might just be a nation again.

Come on over to Skye's Links. We have a lot to discuss, and we have work to do.

THE US COUP WE NEVER KNEW

Victor Davis Hanson January 10, 2023

Did someone or something seize control of the United States?

What happened to the U.S. border? Where did it go? Who erased it? Why and how did 5 million people enter our country illegally? Did Congress secretly repeal our immigration laws? Did Joe Biden issue an executive order allowing foreign nationals to walk across the border and reside in the United States as they pleased?

Since when did money not have to be paid back? Who insisted that the more dollars the federal government printed, the more prosperity would follow? When did America embrace zero interest? Why do we believe $30 trillion in debt is no big deal?

What happened to Election Night returns? Did the fact that Americans created more electronic ballots and computerized tallies make it take so much longer to tabulate the votes?

Here are more questions to ask ourselves...

DEAR YOUNG PEOPLE, COLLEGE IS LAME. GET A JOB.

Lincoln Brown January 11, 2023

Young people, are you ready for success? Want a career in a rewarding field that will lead to a fulfilling life? Don’t go to college. Be an electrician, be a plumber, be a welder, be a carpenter — hell, learn to code — but for heaven’s sake and for that matter, your own, don’t go to college.

I know some of you are months or even years away from high school graduation, but: Don’t. Go. To. College. Okay, so if you want to be a doctor, lawyer, or physicist (more on that below), maybe look for a college that does not double as an asylum. Other than that, treat college campuses like the radioactive waste depots that they have become.

FED CHAIR POWELL GOES BEAST MODE ON GREENIE WOKERY

Monica Showalter January 11, 2023

Well, here's one we didn't see coming.

After months of wokery coming out of the Federal Reserve, with leftists promoting weird ideas like the importance of making global warming the primary consideration in assessing how the nation's money supply is to be managed, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell called out the crap and restated how monetary policy actually works.

NO INTELLIGENCE ALLOWED

Patricia McCarthy January 10, 2023

"It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong."

―Voltaire, The Age of Louis XIV

In 2008, Ben Stein released a documentary film, Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, that addressed the absolute intolerance within academia and the media for even a mention of "intelligent design" as opposed to unguided evolution with regard to the origin of life. The editor of a scientific journal connected to the Smithsonian lost his job for publishing an article by Steven C. Meyer that referenced intelligent design. Journalists who addressed the issue have been fired, and professors have lost their jobs if they admitted to considering it a viable theory. As one might expect, the Wikipedia page on the film mocks it as propaganda. Say the words "intelligent design," and the Darwinian cult hears "creationist."

If this sounds familiar, consider the parallel with the lab leak theory of the origin of COVID. The entire country, and most especially virologists, epidemiologists, and doctors, has endured what proponents of the intelligent design theory within academia have experienced for decades. From the outset of the release of COVID upon the world, any voices that opposed the Faustian Faucian narrative were vilified, censored, their careers threatened, just as those scientists or journalists who uttered the words "intelligent design."

Schools must close, masks must be worn, people must "social distance" from one another, vaccines must be mandated. None of those things, it turns out, was necessary. Nor was any of them based on any science, not even the vaccines. They all parallel a plan laid out in Event 201, a World Economic Forum exercise that took place in October 2019.

Curious timing? Indeed — especially considering the participants...

THE MARXIST HURRICANE IN SOUTH AMERICA

Tim Doescher at The Heritage Foundation January 12, 2023

A lot is changing in South America. As many nations elect leaders with Marxist roots, we are wondering where it all goes from here. The biggest surprise is that for the first time ever, Colombia now has a leftist leader, poised to make huge changes. So is this the beginning of a Marxist revolution throughout South America? Are we going to see these nations embrace the fate of Venezuela and Cuba? What is China’s role in this, and what do they have to gain?

On this episode, we talk about all that’s at stake in South America, how this revolutionary orbit toward Marxism is a lot like the BLM Movement here in the U.S., and how the U.S. should respond.

KEEPING YOUR SANITY BY AVOIDING THE ALLURE OF VICTIMHOOD

Dr. Joel Wade January 9, 2023

One of the most harmful ways of thinking of ourselves is as a victim. It can make it nearly impossible to find success, financially or otherwise, and undermines our capacity for relationships.

Yet this mindset is not uncommon, we’ve probably all experienced it to some degree. But for some it can create a more pervasive atmosphere in their lives.

As researchers Rahav Gabay and his colleagues have shown, this mindset has four specific qualities, that lead to three specific biases and one onerous tendency, that can skew our view of the world.

Today we’ll look at how to move away from this kind of mindset, and re-orient toward taking effective, positive action. We start with understanding that changing a victim mindset is much more complicated than the kind of “get over it” advice that’s so common – and useless.

FLASHBACK FRIDAY: GOLD-PLATED LAUGHTER WITH AN UZBEK LADY

Dr. Jack Wheeler January 13, 2023

In Bukhara, Uzbekistan, I didn’t speak Uzbek and she didn’t speak English, yet laughter is the true universal language.

She gave me a broad smile to display her gold-plated teeth. You don’t often see someone with teeth of gold, but she says what better way to protect your teeth when you’re getting old? The Uzbek people of Central Asia have a wonderful sense of humor. Come with me to Central Asia this September to laugh with these Silk Road people yourself.

CERRO CAMPANARIO

Dr. Jack Wheeler January 12, 2023

This is the view of the lakes of Bariloche in Argentine Patagonia. It was taken yesterday from a viewpoint called Cerro Campanario. This really is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. I'm here exploring Patagonia with your fellow TTPers. Wish you were here with us!

IS THIS THE WORLD’S MOST BEAUTIFUL BEACH?

Dr. Jack Wheeler January 11, 2023

According to the many thousands of world travellers on TripAdvisor, it’s #1: Praia do Sancho on the Brazilian island of Fernando de Noronha. You’ll also find it on just about any list of most beautiful beaches, such as Condé Nast, Harper’s Bazaar, and Luxury Travel.

The whole island is gorgeous. Mention that you’ve been there to any Brazilian who hasn’t and their eyes get misty. Fernando de Noronha (no-rone-ya) is the dream honeymoon, the dream vacation that only comes true for few in Brazil, as it’s hard to get to and hardly any place to stay once you’re there.

You have to get to either Recife or Natal in the far northeast, then fly 220 miles out into the Atlantic. Then take a boat, or scamper down the rocks of a 250ft-high cliff to be on the sugar sand of this enchanting beach – which you’ll have almost to yourself.

For some reason, all those lists have the name wrong, calling it “Baia” or “Baio,” when it’s “Praia” (beach in Portuguese). As the welcome sign proudly announces above the cliff trail: “Praia do Sancho – A Mais Bonita do Mundo,” Sancho Beach – The Most Beautiful in the World. If you’re lucky to ever get here, you’ll surely agree. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #73 photo ©Jack Wheeler)

THE DANCING FOREST ON THE CURONIAN SPIT

Dr. Jack Wheeler January 10, 2023

The Curonian Spit is a 60 mile-long and skinny stretch of sand separating the 625 square-mile Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea. It is jointly shared by Lithuania and Kaliningrad. The trees of one section of the pine forests covering the spit are weirdly twisted and distorted by some unknown force of nature. Their bizarre undulations have earned it the sobriquet, “The Dancing Forest.” It’s one of the as-yet unexplained mysteries of life on our planet, and a wondrous one to see.

A CUP OF YAK BUTTER TEA IN A TIBETAN NOMAD TENT

Dr. Jack Wheeler January 9, 2023

At 14,000 feet, Tibetan nomads called Drogpa set their summer encampment for their yak herds to graze on green pastures. You find them with difficulty in the remote Himalayan highlands of the Kingdom of Lo. They are happy to welcome you into their home, a single large tent of black yak wool, and serve you a cup of delicious yak butter tea.

It is a rare privilege to be with these people and experience their ancient way of life. It is something we strive to do on our Himalaya Helicopter Expeditions. I took this picture in May. Here is their home from the outside. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #203 photo ©Jack Wheeler)

DEMOCRATIC WOMEN’S CAUCUS WEARS MATCHING WHITE BUTCHER COATS IN SUPPORT OF ABORTION

ToThePoint January 13, 2023

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In an inspiring show of solidarity with abortionists and other eugenicists, the Democratic Women's Caucus showed up to the Capitol this week wearing stylish butcher coats.

"We will never tire of standing up courageously for the merciless slaughter of human babies so they can be dissected and sold to university researchers for revolting experimentation, er... we mean, 'reproductive healthcare,'" said Pelosi to reporters. "We're courageously standing up for reproductive healthcare and bodily autonomy and euphemisms. Yeah. No further questions, please."

Washington insiders say onlookers were dazzled by the waddling gaggle of women dressed in glittering white slaughterhouse frocks, which as of yet had no spatters of blood on them. "Wow!" said one Capitol intern. "Look at all the feminists! I feel empowered!"

The herd of hunched-over, white-clad crones then danced and shimmied around a large boiling cauldron, waved sharp metal cleavers in the air, and screeched a sacred feminine moon chant to appease Molech before shuffling awkwardly into the Capitol like a flock of broken ducks.

At publishing time, Pelosi had confirmed to reporters that the red stain on her frock was just red wine.

HALF-FULL REPORT 01/06/23

Dr. Jack Wheeler January 6, 2023

Buenos Aires, Argentina. I am sending this first HFR of 2023 to you from the capital of Argentina at the start of our Patagonia Wonderland exploration with your fellow TTPers.

It’s an unbeatable way to start a new year: with an unforgettable adventure in an extraordinary part of the world far away from home. Particularly now – for it’s a great way to say goodbye and good riddance to the rubbish year of 2022. Into the trash can of history it goes.

That’s a very full trash can. In November, America – Dem cheating making the difference on the margin notwithstanding – voted for more crime, more CRT, more forced child tranny change, more inflation, more woke lunacy, more corruption, the list of nightmares goes on. It's a patient dying of a terminal disease who doesn't want to be cured, who wants to die instead.

So what’s in store for us and the world in 2023? We’re going to start with who will be the biggest Winners and Losers of 2023, then identify the fundamental key to whether a country will flourish and prosper, or decline and suicide itself. That most certainly applies to the USA. And yes, all this involves the three books above.

RESOLUTIONS 2023

Dr. Jack Wheeler January 2, 2023

Rebel and I received the best Christmas present we could ask for. Jackson and his wife Raya came to spend Christmas-New Year’s with us, and to deliver the news: Rebel and I are going to be grandparents! At last!

The picture you see is Rebel, Jackson, and me standing in front of our Christmas tree, with Rebel holding a 1992 photo of Jackson being held by us on his first Christmas at six months old. He’s now 30, six-foot-two, and soon to be a father himself.

The years pass by so quickly. You look back on them and they seem to have gone by at light speed. That’s why I always advise parents of young children to treasure every day with them – for the day will come so fast when they will be grown and gone.

That’s why each one of us no matter how old should treasure every day we are still alive on this Earth – for the day will come when we will be gone, and that day can come at any moment.

That’s why every January 1^st, I renew my two most fundamental Resolutions for the coming year. Here they are – and I’d like to suggest they be yours too.
