In the rapidly evolving landscape of the 21st century where the currents of change often erode the bedrock of our societal values, the call for patriotic activism rings out with renewed urgency.
"Empowered 2 ACT: Maintaining The Pillars of Patriotism," is not merely a response to this call—it is a clarion call of its own, a manifesto for those who stand on the front lines in defense of liberty, tradition, and the enduring principles that constitute the foundation of our society.

“National Public Radio prohibits staff from publishing work for other media outlets without permission. Senior editor Uri Berliner broke that rule when he published a searing, 3,000-word critique of his own storied news organization in the Free Press.
His actions led to a five-day suspension without pay. Then on Wednesday, he posted his resignation letter on X, in which he accused the public radio network’s new chief executive of having divisive views that “‘confirm the very problems’ he cited in his Free Press piece.
A spokeswoman for NPR declined to comment on personnel matters.
Berliner’s essay, which said NPR had lost its way by letting liberal bias skew its coverage, is the latest sign of a management challenge several major newsrooms are dealing with: how to handle staffers who are willing to go public with concerns about their own employer.
Weeks earlier at MSNBC, a coterie of high-profile anchors used their respective shows to publicly call out a controversial hiring decision by the network’s parent. And the New York Times’s newsroom has been divided over its Gaza war coverage, culminating with a recent investigation into whether staffers leaked confidential information to another outlet.”
THINGS TO PONDER:
Things are gettin’ hot in the kitchen!
Even those who work for the bias machines in media are saying it’s too much…
That’s the tough thing about the news business that goes unsaid:
Sometimes, you are the news.
And, it looks like NPR’s new CEO doesn’t like that so much…
But then again, clearly understand she’s your enemy… and she doesn’t hide that fact.
Take a quick look for yourself:
This is why citizen journalism matters so much.
Make sure to remember that face.

“One of the left’s biggest political targets recently found himself “de-banked” with no warning and little avenue for recourse, the Daily Caller has learned.
John Eastman, once an attorney for former President Donald Trump, was de-banked twice in the span of several months by two prominent financial institutions, Bank of America and USAA, he told the Daily Caller. His accounts were closed as he faced substantial backlash for his work advising Trump around the time of the 2020 election.
Eastman said he had switched most of his banking from Bank of America to USAA, a company that provides financial services exclusively to military veterans as well as their families, due to the former’s “wokeness.” Both corporations are federally insured, and Bank of America was bailed out with billions of dollars in taxpayer funds during the global financial crisis.
Bank of America alerted Eastman in September of 2023 that it would be closing his accounts, a letter obtained by the Daily Caller shows. Shortly thereafter, USAA notified Eastman in November that his two bank accounts with the company would be closed, a separate letter shows.
“And then two months later, we get a similar letter from USAA saying that they’ve decided that they’re going to close your account and they did like three weeks later,” Eastman told the Daily Caller. “And so that was where all of our automatic payments were coming out of, all our automatic deposits. So it was a real pain to shift everything. We had to get a new bank account opened and shift everything over.”
THINGS TO PONDER:
As we’ve shared in Ripped From The Headlines numerous times, this has less to do with someone like John Eastman, and WAY more to do with you…

“The path towards sustainable government debt levels around the world is under threat this year from the sheer number of elections taking place, the IMF said Wednesday in a new report.
‘History suggests, and empirical evidence confirms, that governments tend to spend more and or tax less in election year,’ Vitor Gaspar, the head of the International Monetary Fund’s Fiscal Affairs told AFP, ahead of the publication of the Fiscal Monitor report.
He added that the situation this year is particularly complicated because, ‘the political discourse is dominated by references to fiscal expansion and calls for fiscal support or public spending — or both.’
The Fiscal Monitor report found that global public debt ’edged up again’ last year, reversing a couple of years of decline, due largely to a fall in revenues ‘as windfall revenues from inflation waned.’
‘Fiscal tightening is projected for 2024, but it is subject to considerable uncertainty,’ the IMF report continued.
Much of this uncertainty, the IMF said, is down to the fact that 2024 is the ‘Great Election Year,’ when 88 economies or economic areas representing more than half of the world’s population have held, or are due to hold, elections.
‘Clearly, given the stronger link between fiscal policy and politics, it is perfectly reasonable to think that political factors and political discourse will play an added role right now,’ Gaspar told AFP.
The IMF predicts that current spending and taxation levels have put global public debt on track to rise from just over 93 percent of economic output last year to 99 percent by 2029.”
THINGS TO PONDER:
The chief grifting officers at the IMF are trying to tell you that “we won’t screw you as bad this year because of so many elections happening around this year… maybe.”
If you believe that, we have some good economic news to sell you about the US…
Seriously though, the last paragraph should scare you a lot:
The IMF predicts that current spending and taxation levels have put global public debt on track to rise from just over 93 percent of economic output last year to 99 percent by 2029.
How’s that going to work when pretty much everything generated will go to tax and debt by 2029?
Well, you’ll be a slave.
Period.
You need to pay attention to this and raise holy hades at your local and state levels of government.
