* Arizona “Metals are Money” Law
HB 2014 defines gold, silver, and other precious metals as legal tender and exempts them from capital gains taxes, thus allowing Arizona residents to use precious metals instead of Federal Reserve notes.
Every supporter of free-markets should cheer Arizona’s passage of HB 2014. There is no more justification for forcing individuals to use government-created money than there is for forcing them to drive government-manufactured cars. In fact, as the Federal Reserve’s 114 years of failure shows, giving monopoly control over our money supply to a secretive central bank is the most dangerous form of government intervention,” said Dr. Ron Paul.
* Utah Municipal Elections Filing Period.
* Utah CD3 Candidates Evaluation.
* Lowell is a delegate in Utah CD 3, and will be one of the 1000 or so delegates who help to decide the party’s nominee in the election of a representative to replace Jason Chaffetz, who announced that he would retire from the US House on June 30.
First thing we do is decide what is important to us, based on the US Constitution, and our understanding of the proper role of government.
1. Does the candidate understand the PROPER ROLE OF GOVERNMENT–that government lacks the moral authority to do what a person may not do? In other words, if you my neighbor may not forbid my use of herbs in the treatment of illness, then government may not forbid it either! Will s/he defend my rights to life, liberty, and property? Will s/he defend my right to the fruits of my labor? Meaning will they eliminate taxes, the legal plunder that plagues our society? Will s/he get the government out of education, health care, etc?
2. Does the candidate understand STATE SOVEREIGNTY over the central government? Does s/he realize that they would be taking a job in a role that is subservient to the state? Would they advocate this most important check on the central government? Or would they support bills that encroach on state authority? Does the candidate understand the foreign or outward-facing role of the central government, and the domestic or inward-facing role of state governments? Does the candidate understand that the central government may punish only three crimes–counterfeiting, piracy, and treason?
3. Does the candidate understand the importance of FREE MARKETS? Will s/he reduce regulation and other barriers to entry, and help to create a level playing field for all businesses, showing no favoritism, no picking of winners and losers?
4. Does the candidate understand one of the greatest threats to our Republic is our fiat MONETARY SYSTEM? And will s/he vote to Audit the Fed, and then to End the Fed? One cannot underestimate the importance of a return to a sound and honest monetary system! What does the candidate think about these 17 words in the Constitution: “No state shall … make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.”
5. Does the candidate understand the systemic flaws in our FOREIGN POLICY of military interventionism, and will s/he vote to change this policy to one of friendship with all nations and alliances with none?

* The number of homeless people in Los Angeles County has hit a new record based on data kept since 2007, with nearly 58,000 people without permanent shelter on a given night. – Newser
The Los Angeles Times reports that the 23% spike over 2016, described as “staggering” and “scary” by those involved in fighting homelessness, came despite stepped-up efforts to keep vulnerable people in their homes.
The challenge, say officials, is how to expand efforts amid the area’s sky-high housing costs. “We can’t let rents double every year,” LA Mayor Eric Garcetti said.
The median monthly price for a one-bedroom apartment is $1,995.
Data shows at least 2 million LA and Orange County households shell out more than 30% of their paychecks on housing.
“Our city is in the midst of an extraordinary homelessness crisis that needs an extraordinary response,”
New York City is home to the most homeless people, with 74,000 in 2016.

* 1st prison sentence given to Jerry DeLemus in Bundy case in Nevada
DeLemus has been jailed for almost 16 months, so the sentence means the 62-year-old former U.S. Marine will spend about six more years behind bars.
Chief U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro in Las Vegas added time after faulting DeLemus for trying to withdraw his pleas. She said she didn’t think he accepted responsibility for his actions.
“I have to say, Mr. DeLemus, that you unfortunately are blinded by the information you choose to believe,” she said.
His attorney, Dustin Marcello, said he will appeal.
Bundy, two of his sons and two other defendants are due for trial later this year. Six others, including two other Bundy sons, may not be tried until early next year.

Many other states are also being investigated including North Carolina where numerous voters were found who were registered in multiple states and multiple districts in the state.

* Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died while serving in the country’s armed forces.
This holiday was called “Decoration Day” in the 1800s, and seemed to originate in the south.
Following President Abraham Lincoln’s assassination in April 1865, commemorations were ubiquitous. The sheer number of soldiers of both sides who died in the Civil War (more than 600,000) meant that burial and memorialization took on new cultural significance.
* Tim Wildmon, AFA: Sacrifice is the theme of Memorial Day. The sacrifice of individuals. The sacrifice of families. The sacrifice of communities. The sacrifice of a nation.
May God continue to bless America on behalf of those who gave their lives for her.
Please take time with family and friends over this Memorial Day weekend to reflect on the cost of freedom and our responsibility to defend and promote it.
* Patrick J. Buchanan has warned that many of the great heroes of the Civil War Era are being demonized.
He points out that, for 100 years, Americans lived comfortably side by side, honoring the dead of both the North and the South.
But since the 1960s, there has arisen an ideology that holds that the Confederacy was the moral equivalent of Nazi Germany, and that those who fought under the Confederate flag should be regarded as traitors.
Thus, in New Orleans, statues of Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederate States of America, and General Robert E. Lee were just pulled down. And a drive is underway to take down the statue of Andrew Jackson, hero of the Battle of New Orleans and former president of the United States, which stands in Jackson Square.
Today, the men we were taught to revere as the great captains, explorers, missionaries and nation-builders are seen by many as part of a racist, imperialist, genocidal enterprise, wicked men who betrayed and eradicated the peace-loving natives who had welcomed them.
As we honor our fallen ancestors this Memorial Day Weekend, let us do so without prejudice against the heroes of “the other side” who were fighting for a cause in which they deeply believed. They felt that it was just and right.
* Ron Paul: Are We Fighting Terrorism, or Creating More Terrorism? – RonPaulInstitute.org
“Do we really believe we are fighting terrorism by terrorizing innocent civilians overseas? How long until we accept that “collateral damage” is just another word for “murder”?
“The real problem is that both Washington and London are more interested in regime change overseas than any blowback that might come to the rest of us back home. They just do not care about the price we pay for their foreign policy actions. No grand announcement of new resolve to “fight terrorism” can be successful unless we understand what really causes terrorism. They do not hate us because we are rich and free. They hate us because we are over there, bombing them.”

* Banana Republic Election in the United States? – pravdareport.com
Nothing is more hypocritical than to hear that the US government is going to send “election observers” to other countries. For nowhere on the planet are elections more easily rigged than in the United States of America.
Three Supreme Court cases stated that the US voter’s right to vote consisted of two parts: 1) the right to cast a ballot; and 2) the right to KNOW that one’s ballot is counted accurately. With secret computer counts, there is simply no way to verify the vote. None.
This is the first major election in America where the people are learning just how compromised the computer based vote has become.
