Resident Biden takes classified documents seriously.
I'm Peter Serefine with this week's Liberty Minute and a reminder to use code LIGHTHOUSE at MyStore.com to save money on American made products from American companies.
Resident Biden takes classified documents so seriously that he had at least one in his garage.
Just for a minute, let's forget that a former Vice President shouldn't have classified materials. Let's ignore the hypocrisy of Biden’s statements regarding Trump having classified materials at Mar-A-Lago where there are Secret Service.
What I want to know is why were attorneys clearing out the office at the U Penn think tank.
Lawyers cost hundreds of dollars an hour. Two guys and a truck would have been infinitely cheaper.
Where the lawyers there because they expected to find something like this?
Maybe the attorneys were used just so there would be attorney-client privilege in place.
The presence of lawyers doing a job a couple of teenagers could do is intriguing to say the least.
Now that this story is out, I have many questions, but the Whitehouse Press Secretary has refused to answer a single one put to her. Hopefully the new special council will have better luck.

The fight for speaker of the house seems to be the big news.
I'm Peter Serefine with this week's Liberty Minute and a reminder to use code LIGHTHOUSE at ZStackLife.com to supercharge your immune system this cold and flu season.
For the first time in a hundred years, the Speaker of the House vote has gone on for days. At the time of this recording, there have been 11 votes, and still no speaker elected.
I think the fact that Kevin McCarthy has tried 11 times and has not even considered stepping aside is an indication of McCarthy’s ego. It has been my experience that anyone who wants a job of power this badly is not the person We The People should want in that job.
I am glad this fight is happening. My opinion of several members of Congress has changed during this process. Some for the better and some for the worse.
Aside from politics, I would like to ask for your help again. My dear friend lost everything on December 30th when her apartment building was destroyed by fire. My friend, Tashoi, is starting the new year with absolutely nothing.
If you are able, please help my friend through the GoFundMe link at liberty-lighthouse.com or at GoFundMe.com/f/Tashoi

I'm Peter Serefine with this week's Liberty Minute.
This week's Liberty Minute is not going to be political news. This Liberty Minute is a personal plea to help a friend.
On Thursday, December 22nd, my friend, single mother, and coworker was injured. Jen is a part-time rural mail carrier.
She was delivering a package last Thursday when she slipped on ice, fell, hit her head, and was knocked unconscious. An ambulance came and called for life flight.
Life flight was grounded because of the snowstorm, so Jen was transported two hours away by ambulance. She was hospitalized but was released in time to be home with her kids for Christmas.
Yesterday, she was slurring her words and was again hospitalized. That is the last update I have on her condition.
As a part-time carrier, Jen has no benefits. She will eventually be paid a little something by workers' comp, but who knows how long that will take.
I am asking you to reach into that spirit of giving that comes with the holiday season and help my friend if you can.
Any donations received through my website, Liberty-Lighthouse.com, will go to Jen and her kids to fill the gap before workers' comp pays her anything.
If you can, please go to Liberty-Lighthouse.com and donate to my friend.

The $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill has passed.
I'm Peter Serefine with this week's Liberty Minute and a reminder to use code LIGHTHOUSE at ZStackLife.com to supercharge your immune system this cold and flu season.
One political party has controlled the House, Senate, and Whitehouse for almost two years.
Despite this, they still chose to combine 35 different spending bills into one 4155-page omnibus bill and ram it through at the last moment before their Christmas vacation.
They decided not to debate each of the 35 individual bills in committees all year long.
They intentionally waived billions in automatic spending cuts that the Whitehouse promised would help pay for the last giant spending package.
This omnibus spending bill is full of political agenda garbage, earmarks, and pork barrel spending.
This is symbolic of what is wrong with our federal government. No human being can possibly read, research, and comprehend 4155 pages of anything in the short time allotted.
Anyone who truly represents We The People, regardless of party, would never vote for a bill they can't understand and explain in detail.

Ukrainian President Zelensky is Time Magazine’s Person of the year.
I'm Peter Serefine with this week's Liberty Minute, brought to you by Dr. Zelenko's Z-Stack. Use code LIGHTHOUSE at ZStackLife.com to supercharge your immune system before cold and flu season.
Ukrainian President Zelensky has single-handedly destroyed the free press and his people’s freedom of religion.
Volodymyr Zelensky has taken over the news media in his country. The Ukrainian people can now only see what Zelensky wants them to see.
Zelensky has banned one of the oldest religions in his country because it has ties to Russia.
Before the Russian invasions, we heard about corruption in Ukraine.
Zelensky was accused of jailing his political opponents.
There were rumors of mass graves in Eastern Ukraine.
Now, Zelensky is sainted as Person of the Year.
The United States is sending billions of dollars to him, only half of which can actually be accounted for.
Well, what can we expect from the magazine who also awarded Adolf Hitler the Man of the Year Title for 1938?

So Republicans will control the House and Trump is running for President again. Now what?
I'm Peter Serefine with this week's Liberty Minute, brought to you by Dr. Zelenko's Z-Stack. Use code LIGHTHOUSE at ZStackLife.com to supercharge your immune system before cold and flu season.
What can we hope for from a Republican controlled House of Representatives?
Well, if history is an example, not much.
Maybe instead of bills spending $2 trillion at a time, maybe they will only spend $1.5 trillion.
Government accounts for 57% of our nation's Gross Domestic Product. That means that every taxpayer works from January 1st through July 27th, just to feed our massive, bloated, overgrown government.
If we wanted to get anywhere near a balanced budget, the government would have to cut spending, all spending, by at least 25%.
The last time a president was elected to cut spending, Regan was only able to cut the growth of spending.
The uni-party in DC has created an uncontrollable monster. It no longer matters whether Democrats or Republicans are in charge. The monster will continue to be fed with your money and your liberty.

Tuesday is election day, so let's talk about American elections and democracy.
I'm Peter Serefine with this week's Liberty Minute, brought to you by Dr. Zelenko's Z-Stack. Use code LIGHTHOUSE at ZStackLife.com to supercharge your immune system and support Freedom Fighters Foundation.
The US Constitution set up our Republic so that you and I, the citizens, only voted for our representative in the House of Representatives.
The President is elected by the Electoral College. Each state makes its own rules about how to award those electoral votes.
It wasn't until 1824, 35 years after this process was established, before the first public vote for President was even recorded.
The Senate was originally appointed by your state legislators. That changed in 1913 with the 17th Amendment. Senators are now elected by state-wide popular vote, like some sort of glorified member of the House of Representatives.
Why this basic history lesson? Because We The People need to remember how important our State House really is.
It was your state legislation who ratified the 17th Amendment. It has been since the 17th Amendment that our federal government has grown out of control and inserted itself in every aspect of our lives.
The state appointed Senate used to protect state rights and keep the federal government in check.

Pennsylvania Democrat candidate for Senate still has obvious problems.
I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute.
I don't like the Pennsylvania Democrat candidate for Senate, John Fetterman's politics, but that is not what this is about.
John Fetterman had a stroke just before winning the Democratic primary in Pennsylvania.
Yesterday he gave his first in-person interview since the stroke. He required a closed caption screen to read the reporter's questions. Fetterman is still having trouble processing language.
His political leanings don't matter. He is currently not fit for the job of Senator.
A closed caption screen on the Senate floor, in committee, or during a debate is far less than ideal.
I wish Mr. Fetterman a full recovery, but with the election less than a month away, he just isn't ready yet.

Non-citizens get voter registration notices.
I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute.
30,000 non-citizens in Colorado received notices about voter registration. The authorities in Colorado said it was a computer glitch.
Pennsylvania and Texas have both had similar”glitches” in the past.
It seems that issuing a driver's license to non-citizens and then linking the voter registration process to the driver's license process may have some unintended consequences.
Looking at the current immigration policy, or lack of an immigration policy, one might get the idea that was the plan for Motor-Voter laws all along.
Dead people stay on the voter rolls for years. Move out of state, and you're probably still on the old rolls yourself. Now, non-citizens get notified to register too.
Elections will never be secure again until we make voter registration expire. That is the only way voter rolls will ever be cleaned and maintained.

Happy Columbus Day!

I am Peter Serefine and this is today's Liberty Minute.

Yes, I said Columbus Day. Christopher Columbus challenged the science of his time and was right! He did not fall off the edge of a flat earth. Instead, he charted the path to the New World. A pioneer worth celebrating.

Columbus's daring journey into the unknown should be recognized as proof that science is never settled. Science should always be questioned and challenged. Anyone who says, "the science is settled" clearly does not understand the basic principles of science itself. Facts can only maintain factual status if the are routinely questioned and challenged.

To be fair, the indigenous people of the Americas deserve a celebration too. Maybe there should be a national Indigenous People Day, but it should not replace Columbus Day.

OPEC+ cut oil production by 2 million barrels per day.
I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute.
The oil-producing nations in OPEC+ announced they are cutting oil outputs by 2 million barrels a day.
Senator Joe Manchin said the move shows that the US must emphasize American energy independence and security. Hmm, it seems like I have heard that before.
In response to the output cut, the Biden administration announced the release of 10 million more barrels from the nation's Strategic Petroleum Reserves.
Gee that will cover the shortfall for five whole days. Then what? Biden has already drained the reserves to their lowest point in decades.
Biden created this problem by forcing his green agenda and is using the nation's strategic reserves as his party's campaign checkbook to attempt to bring gas prices down before next month's election.

OPEC+ is expected to announce a cut in oil production today.
I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute.
The oil producers' cartel of OPEC+ is meeting today and is expected to announce the largest cut in production since the beginning of the CoVid pandemic.
Some are forecasting a cut of a million barrels per day. That will obviously raise the price of oil and, in turn, the cost of gasoline.
Clearly, a steep increase in gas prices this close to election time would be a disaster for the Democrats, so the Biden administration has launched a full-scale pressure campaign hoping to stop a production reduction.
Remember when America was energy independent and a net exporter of energy? Ahh, the good Ole days.
If only Biden had not attacked American oil producers, stopped pipelines, ended leases, and drained the nation's strategic reserves.

Democrats want to control everything.
I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute.
Democrats in New Jersey are proposing two bills forbidding retail warehouse chains such as Costco and Sam's Club from limiting gasoline sales to members.
One lawmaker said, “I see gasoline the same as I would see food or energy bills or anything. I think it’s a public access.”
A former New Jersey governor said, “Last time I checked, that’s a commodity; what’s going on here?”
Hey geniuses, those warehouse clubs sell food too. So next, you'll demand that membership be free and open the stores to everyone.
Members pay the annual membership fee to get the lower members-only prices.
Anyone can become a member. It is not some discriminatory secret society that needs to be broken up.
For the sake of everything good in America, get the government out of business.

How absurd does woke gender ideology have to get?
I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute.
A number of girls playing for a high school volleyball team in Vermont have been barred from using their own locker room after filing a complaint to school officials about a transgender teammate.
The dispute started after the transgender player at Randolph Union High School allegedly made an “inappropriate comment” to some girls while changing in the locker room.
School authorities replied to complaints: there is "plenty of space where students who feel uncomfortable" can change in private.
According to Vermont’s state law, students can play sports and use the locker room that corresponds to the gender with which they identify….and apparently, if a transgender student is inappropriate, too bad. The biological girls get pushed out.
Ahhh…isn't equity great?

Congress is working on another short-term continuing resolution to fund the government until December.
I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute.
For the 43rd time since 1976, Congress has failed to adopt a comprehensive federal budget for the Fiscal Year 2023 that begins Oct. 1
Let me say that another way. In the past 46 years, Congress has passed a complete and comprehensive budget on time only three times.
In 1976 the National Debt was $620 billion, which is about $3 trillion in today's money. The National Debt today is over ten times that.
Maybe passing a complete and comprehensive budget on time is one of the keys to getting a handle on the National Debt.
One thing is for sure. A 6% success rate does not inspire confidence in Congress.

Too many Americans don't realize government money is their own tax money.
I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute.
A recent poll by YouGov on behalf of the libertarian Cato Institute said that 64% of Americans oppose Biden’s student loan foreign if it raises taxes.
The same poll also showed that 76% would oppose the plan if it would cause universities to raise their tuition and fees.
News flash! Both of those things are true.
The cost of college has skyrocketed 1200% since the federal government took over student loans, almost 1000% more than inflation.
It is also a middle school government class that used to teach that every penny the federal government spends or gives away comes from taxpayers.
Have we stopped teaching that, or has the citizenry just forgotten the government does not produce or sell anything?

What? There were FBI informants at the January 6th protest? What's next? Is the government going to say Covid came from a lab?
I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute.
The federal government has finally admitted that at least five FBI informants were involved with the Oath Keepers at the Capitol on January 6th.
So, if there was a seditious conspiracy or insurrection planned, the FBI knew about it.
If that is the case, why weren't the police prepared? Where was the riot gear? Why wasn't the National Guard called up?
Everyone knew the protest was scheduled and expected to bring a quarter of a million people to DC.
Gee, it almost looks like the people in charge of security wanted the protest to turn violent.

Well, Ukraine is turning into a huge mess.
I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute.
In a rare public address, Russian President Putin announced the mobilization of more troops headed for Ukraine.
Russia is calling up 300,000 reservists in phase one of the mobilization.
Putin also said he would not rule out the use of nuclear weapons.
So far, the United States has sent about $70 billion to the war in Ukraine.
I'm somewhat torn over the situation. In essence, this is a civil war. Ukraine was part of Russia for a very long time.
However, the west did promise to defend Ukraine when they gave up the world's third-largest nuclear arsenal, but when do we cut our losses?
At what point will American troops get involved, or even worse, when might we see mushroom clouds?

Did Resident Biden admit a border problem?
I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute.
The Biden administration has set the record for the number of apprehensions at the US- Mexico border in a calendar year and in a fiscal year, twice.
So far, more than 2 million arrests have been made this fiscal year.
Yesterday, Biden said, “We’re working with Mexico and other countries to stop the flow,”
Oh,working with Mexico like the previous administration had done, but you un-did. Things like the remain in Mexico program that you have fought in court to stop since taking office.
Is that how you're working with these other countries? By bringing back all of the processes and procedures that you called racist on the campaign trail?
It does seem that Biden has finally admitted a problem. There must be an election coming up.

Resident Biden will decide about running for reelection after the midterms.
I'm Peter Serefine with today's Liberty Minute.
When asked about his low poll numbers, Biden blamed Covid-19. He said covid had an “impact on the psyche of the American people.”
Yeah, Joe. That is what hurts your poll numbers. It couldn't possibly be:
Increased crime rates
losing 20% of my retirement account because of your economy
fentanyl becoming the #1 killer of adults under 45
Huge increases of overdose deaths
Millions of illegal aliens being allowed to just walk in
My utility bills increasing by 30%
Sending $70 billion of our tax money to Ukraine
Spending $1 trillion on the inflation extension act
Our grocery bills are up 13%
The National Debt is over $30 trillion
I'm sure you're right. Covid is what people are thinking about when polled.

Please explain how ultra mega extreme MAGA are terrorists.
I'm Peter Serefine, and this is today's Liberty Minute.
Resident Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas both keep pointing at the Make America Great Again crowd as domestic terrorists.
Let's examine this idea.
The MAGA people don't seem to be hiding. Many of them wear clearly identifiable clothing, like bright red hats.
Most are open about their beliefs, both religious and political.
As far as I can tell, the MAGA folks just want to Make America a Great nation Again. They want our government to think about us, the American citizens, first. They want to pay fewer taxes, want to actually feel represented in DC, and generally want the government out of our daily lives.
So please, tell me again how "Let's go Brandon" became the new Allahu Akbar.

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
I'm Peter Serefine, and this is today's Liberty Minute.
That quote from Benjamin Franklin cuts right to today's politics, 247 years later.
Both sides of the political aisle use fear to push their agenda.
Climate change, a threat to our democracy, white supremacists, covid, and monkeypox are shouted from the left.
The right yells rising crime, socialism, the new world order, and an invasion from the southern border.
Governments and politicians use scare tactics constantly.
We are a nation founded on personal liberty regardless of your political views. We as individuals must start taking responsibility for ourselves again.
That is why I end every show with, "protect your liberties. Once they're gone, there is no getting them back."
