Abraham Lincoln
First Serious Presidential Candidate From North Dakota
By Bob Small
Doug Burgum, second-term millionaire governor of North Dakota, has declared himself a GOP Candidate for President.
In his campaign website, he touts how he inherited a $1.7 billion state budget shortfall which he balanced by cutting spending. He’s a self-made millionaire who worked his way through college as a chimney sweep, etc.
The Stanford Graduate, from North Dakota State, (the same college as former Eagles QB Carson Wentz), sold his company, Eagle Great Plains Software, to Microsoft for a cool $1.1 billion. He began the software company by mortgaging $250,00 of inherited farmland.
He became Governor in 2016 and was re-elected in 2020, despite his ex-wife Karen Stoker campaigning for his opponent, Shelley Lenz
He grew up in Arthur, North Dakota, population 323,
Why Doug Burgum Could Surprise In The 2024 Republican Primary
He is among the top six candidates financially.
A New York Times article quotes conservative North Dakota commentator Dustin Gawrylow as saying Burgum “is genuinely thinking this is a vehicle for promoting North Dakota.”
Another New York Times article mentions he has signed eight pieces of anti-trans Legislation, though there was a great deal of protest around this as per this Inform article.
For all of that, there is a great deal of hope for his candidacy.
He signed a bill requiring physicians to inform women that it may be possible to reverse a drug-induced abortion. For his other views, see these two websites.
According to https://ontheissues.org “he would not back a nationwide ban on abortions and that the issue is best left to the states”.

Biden Speaks With Forked Tongue About Migration
By Joe Guzzardi
Only the most trusting among the general population believe a single utterance from establishment Washington, D.C. In fact, an inverse relationship exists between an issue’s importance and the likelihood entrenched D.C. speaks about it honestly. The more important, the less probable that the public will hear the truth.
The best the populace can hope for is that decades after the damage has been done, architects of the ruinous policies will make half-hearted apologies. A sampling: in the mid-1990s, 20 years after 58,000 American soldiers died in Southeast Asia, former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, the war’s chief prosecutor, confessed, “We [President Johnson, Secretary of State Dean Rusk and McNamara] were wrong, terribly wrong.” The war cost $168 billion, or adjusted for inflation, $1 trillion in today’s dollars
Then, in March 2003, speaking from the White House, President George W. Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction that Iraq allegedly kept at the ready. Bush ominously added that those WMDs could “kill thousands or hundreds of thousands of innocent people in our country, or any other.” But in January 2004, David Kay, a former U.N. Weapons Inspector, told Bush that his intelligence was wrong; Iraq had no WMDs, and he resigned. Nevertheless, and largely on Bush’s bad information, the Iraq War lasted from 2003 until 2011, and cost $2 trillion. About 4,700 U.S. and allied troops were killed, as well as more than 100,000 Iraqi citizens. In 2022, Bush sheepishly admitted that the Iraq invasion was “unjustified and brutal.”
The 20-year war in Afghanistan, 2001-2021, purportedly launched to beat back the Taliban, ended in a humiliating withdrawal, but not until the Department of Defense squandered $2.3 trillion, and 243,000 U.S. soldiers, allies and citizens died, exclusive of fatalities by disease, inadequate diet, dehydration and other indirect consequences. Two decades, apparently, isn’t long enough for Presidents Bush, Obama or Trump to apologize for their collective misjudgment in sustaining the Afghan war that the nation could never have been won.
The Biden administration has kept Washington’s commitment to dishonesty alive and well, this time as it mischaracterizes the Southwest border invasion. To hear Biden and his Department of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas describe conditions, agents have operational control of the border; asylum seekers have been thoroughly vetted, and the president’s open borders largesse reflects Americans’ generosity. The inconvenient truth is the opposite of the official narrative.
Since Biden took office, Customs and Border Protection has encountered 6.2 million illegal immigrants and releasedmore than two million of them into the interior. Another estimated 1.5 million gotaways, those who escaped CBP’s detection, are also now part of the general population. Although the official patter is that the border crossers are vetted, the statistics tell a different story. A significant portion of arriving migrants have criminal convictions for rape, assault and murder. A 2021 Department of Justice report revealed that 64 percent of federal arrests in 2018 involved illegal aliens, despite then comprising only 7 percent of the population.
Biden’s open border has lured hundreds of migrants to their deaths. For example, 38 illegal aliens were killed after a fire broke out in a Ciudad Juárez holding facility, and last year, more than 850 illegal aliens died while trying to traverse rough southwestern terrain into the U.S.
In 2022, fentanyl overdose deaths hit 110,000, a record, and are climbing daily. About 150 people O.D. every day from the drug that smugglers bring across the poorly defended Southwest Border. The administration’s welcome-the-world approach to immigration has spawned other crises – sex trafficking, migrant child labor abuse, overwhelmed school districts and hospital overcrowding.
Comparisons between the fallout from long foreign wars and today’s border crisis are not exact. But the similarity is that when a subject affects all Americans – wars and sovereignty-busting open borders – people are lied to. The border mess is still in its earliest stages; Biden has been in office 30 months with 18 months remaining, and possibly four more years if he is reinstalled for a second term. The annual taxpayer cost per the ever-mounting illegal immigrant population including its U.S.-born children is $8,766 per illegal alien. Americans oppose everything about Biden’s law-breaking immigration agenda. A quick rule of thumb: when the subject is immigration, the administration speaks in forked tongues.

Even youths grow tired William Lawrence Sr Cryptowit 6-26-23

Answer to yesterday’s William Lawrence Sr Cryptowit quote puzzle: Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40:30-31
Nowhere In Israel Have I Found As Much Faith — The Lord Jesus agreed to go to the centurion’s house to cure his servant but he replied: I am not worthy to have you under my roof; only say the word and my servant will be healed.
In protesting his unworthiness, the centurion showed himself worthy to have Christ enter not his house but his heart. Yet he could not have said this with such faith and humility unless he already bore within his heart the One he was too overawed to have within his house. In any case, there would have been no great happiness at the entry of the Lord Jesus within his wall if he was not present in his heart.
But what emboldened the centurion to act as he did?
I am under authority myself, he said, and have soldiers under me; and I say to one man, Go and he goes; to another, Come here, and he comes; to my servant, Do this, and he does it.
Now the man who said this was a Gentile as well as a centurion. He was a professional soldier and, as a centurion, acted according to his rank: subject to authority and exercise in authority, obeying as a subordinate and giving orders to those subordinate to him.
As for the Lord, though living among the Jewish people, He was already beginning to make it known that His Church would extend throughout the whole world into which He was about to send His apostles. Although the Gentiles would not see him they would believe in him, whereas the Jewish leaders who saw him would put him to death.

Grooming At Avon Grove — Attorney and activist Carmela Ciliberti, whose video expose about grooming at Avon Grove’s Fred S. Engle Middle School was reported here, has filed a right-to-know request to obtain information to perform an audit to determine the extent of failure presented by this specific incident and identify systemic issues within the school district in Chester County, Pa.
“The result of this audit will inform whether a public complaint is submitted in accordance with Avon Grove’s Policy Manual Code 906 – Public Complaints,” she said.
She included the below exhibits with her request and asked that what is going on at the school be shared far and wide.
