SENATORS BRAUN AND PETERS INTRODUCE BILL TO NAME MASTODON AMERICA’S NATIONAL FOSSIL

3

WASHINGTON – Senator Mike Braun and Senator Gary Peters have introduced a bill to name a U.S. National Fossil, the mastodon.

Mastodon fossils are frequently found in Indiana and Michigan.

The mastodon lived more than 13,000 years ago in the Pleistocene era, predominantly on land that would eventually become the United States of America. A fully grown mastodon was over 10 feet tall, weighed more than 11 tons, and was preceded by pair of 16-foot-long tusks. Unlike its distant cousin the mammoth, the mastodon was found exclusively in the United States, with its bones being unearthed in every state across the continental U.S.

“Mastodons embody the spirit of exploration, resilience, and strength that exemplifies our great nation. As a uniquely American symbol, mastodons inspire us to embrace our heritage and to protect natural treasures that define our country.” – Senator Mike Braun

“Michigan made history when we uncovered one of the most complete skeletons of the Mastodon ever found, and we continue to find traces of this prehistoric giant all throughout our state,” said Senator Peters. “The Mastodon represents a unique piece of both Michigan’s and our nation’s history. By establishing the Mastodon as our national fossil, we can better preserve that history and inspire a new generation of scientists and researchers to continue their pursuit of discovery.”

The National Fossil Act:

  • Section 1 designates the bill as the National Fossil Act.
  • Section 2 establishes findings on the role of the Mastodon in American public life.
  • Section 3 designates the Mastodon as the national fossil under Title 36 U.S. Code, and makes necessary conforming amendments.

THUNDERBOLTS COME BACK TO DEFEAT KNOXVILLE IN SHOOTOUT

0

Knoxville, Tn.:  Down 1-0 going into the third period, the Thunderbolts willed their way to a tie game, before defeating the Ice Bears in a shootout for their third-straight win, 2-1 on Friday night at Knoxville Civic Coliseum.  The Thunderbolts’ next home game will be on Saturday, January 20th against the Peoria Rivermen, puck drop at 7:00pm CT.

Following a scoreless first period, Rex Moe scored to put the Ice Bears in front at the 3:22 mark of the second period.  Later in the second period after Mark Zhukov was ran into the boards from behind by Knoxville’s Davis Kirkendall, Zhukov’s linemates showed no hesitation in coming to his aid, immediately going after Kirkendall. The hit resulted in a major penalty and game misconduct to Kirkendall, Zhukov left the game temporarily but returned for the third period.  With a strong start to the third period, Vadim Vasjonkin scored to the game 1:11 in, assisted by Brendan Harrogate.  Tied 1-1, the Thunderbolts had to face three consecutive Knoxville power plays yet held the game at the 1-1 tie thanks to strong penalty killing and many big saves from Cole Ceci.  After overtime failed to yield a winner, Myles Abbate and Harrogate scored in the first two shootout rounds to put Evansville ahead, while Ceci stopped all four Knoxville attempts to complete the comeback as the Thunderbolts picked up their 3rd straight win and 11th win of the season overall.

 

Vasjonkin scored Evansville’s goal in regulation, while Abbate and Harrogate scored one goal each in the shootout, with Abbate’s the shootout winner.  In goal, Ceci stopped 28 of 29 shots faced and all four shootout attempts for his 10th win of the season.  The Thunderbolts and Ice Bears meet again on Saturday, January 13th at Knoxville Civic Coliseum.

The Case For Peaceful Revolution

3

Freedom, Indiana – Andrew Horning is seeking the Libertarian Party of Indiana’s nomination for Indiana’s US Senate seat in 2024.

With Larry Bucshon soon exiting, stage left, A good friend and longtime GOP D.C. insider said I should run in the GOP primary for Indiana’s 8th district seat.  I was briefly tempted.  Truth be told, I’ve voted in the two requisite GOP primaries, and I’d love to get paid for what I do at personal cost anyway.  I won an election as a Republican, and a high percentage of the finest people I know, are Republicans.  So it is concerning the opinions of my fellows that I declare the causes which call for revolution instead of capitulation to the status quo.

The whole inherently corrupt, unconstitutional, fraudulent Two Party System is a puppet show distraction from the legions of bureaucrats, bundlers, kingmakers, puppet masters, and authoritarian NGOs, INGOs, corporations, and billionaires who are running the world.  That’s of course unconstitutional, as well as fraudulent, thieving, and mass murderous.  And those movie-ready supervillains are doing a terrible job of ruling the planet.  …How terrible?

Through the last forty years, fertility and birth rates have dropped.  Early puberty for girls, and halved testosterone and sperm count for boys.  Explosion in autism spectrum disorders.  Exploding chronic disease and the very visible problem of obesity and metabolic syndrome in even our very young.  More recently, a marked increase in “excess death” rates and lower life expectancy.  The ominous, new, phthalate syndrome.  Mental health issues, possibly including gender dysphoria.  We’ve gone from poisoning our own people to funding the bioweapons research of the Chinese Communist Party.  We have a needless, corrupt, unconstitutional immigration crisis.  We’re on the edge of another World War, just as we’re about to experience a global monetary, fiscal/financial and cultural collapse that will make The Fall of Rome look like a lady’s gentle sneeze.

Since the mid-1990s, I’ve ever more urgently protested, campaigned, written and publicly lectured against the corruption of our globalized, monopolized, corporatized, sold-out, blackmailed and bought government.  I’ve warned of the insidious growth of unelected cartel powers from the Fabian Society, Chatham House, Council on Foreign Relations, the United Nations, Trilateral Commission, and, of course, the World Economic Forum which has enacted the techno-totalitarian plans of Malthusian to create a corporation-owned digital panopticon and rob us of all we have.  I’m certainly not the only one who’s issued such warnings.  Starting with founding fathers and several later Presidents, we’ve been warned.  My last press release was about one of the last steps toward a techno-totalitarianism Eisenhower could only imagine when he coined the “scientific-technological elite” – silencing opposition and controlling information.

To cut to the crux – “The Government” as represented by the Two-Party System we see on the ballot is hardly even relevant anymore.  Most “laws” aren’t written by elected lawmakers. They’re written, judged, executed, and enforced by executive agency bureaucrats and cops…and that’s all illegal.  Even the laws passed by legislatures are mostly written by unelected staffers and of course lobbyists.  “Public-Private Partnerships” are a scam.  Corporations chartered, empowered and regulated by corporate laws are government entities, and are not private.  “Public” means politicians.  Corporations, NGOs, INGOs and IGOs ARE today’s government.  This is of course anti-democratic, anti-constitutional, illegal and illegitimate.

Maybe we’ve not yet suffered enough? We all should have read the words, “that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed” in context. For too long, and through too much deceit, injustice and death, too many of us have emboldened and sustained what must end by our mindful choice, or in slack-jaw horror, violence, and poverty.

We need a revolution.  We need to fire the whole system of corruption and fraud.  No politician can do that – only voters can.  And they can do that only by willfully, conclusively rejecting the whole crony network.

The good news is that we have the legal, peaceful power to accomplish this…in a single day if we’re willing to look in the mirror and see the truth of how we got here.  All revolutions start in the mind, after all.  And it’d take only a little more than a third of us to change everything. It’s only the bad math of a “two-party system“ that has us invoking “the masses“ for our “lesser evil“ choices. It’s the passionate few who’ve always determined the course of history – just as it’s only a tiny handful of wealthy globalists calling all the shots today. And by all the recent data, we have the numbers – we need only vote the way we talk.

We can live together in peace, security, prosperity, liberty and justice for all.  We need only use our votes as weapons of revolution, as is their whole purpose. I intend to put exactly that peaceful, necessary revolution on the ballot for Indiana’s 2024 US Senate election.

SENATOR BRAUN STATEMENT ON $1.6 TRILLION SPENDING AGREEMENT

braun

Senator Mike Braun released the following statement about the $1.6 trillion spending agreementnegotiated by Congressional leaders.

“We’re spending a trillion dollars more than we take in every 6 months, with our debt spiraling out of control and families still paying for Biden’s spending spree with everything they buy. This $1.6 trillion proposal will just continue Washington’s spending addiction and do nothing to stop the emergency on our southern border that has brought millions of illegal aliens into our country.” – Senator Mike Braun

 

2023 Ritzy’s Fantasy of Lights raises impressive amount to provide Easterseals therapy

0

The Easterseals Rehabilitation Center reports another successful season for Ritzy’s Fantasy of Lights, with the 30thannual light show raising $186,117 between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. In the 30 years of the event, net proceeds have now reached more than $4.5 million to underwrite essential therapy services and inclusive early education at the Easterseals Rehabilitation Center.

Event traffic increased by 20% over the previous year, with an approximate total of 15,340 vehicles (including horse-drawn carriages) visiting this year’s display. Easterseals estimates this year’s proceeds will help to underwrite more than 2,000 therapy sessions for local children and adults with disabilities.

This year’s total also included an impressive approximate $29,250 in extra donations from Ritzy’s Fantasy of Lights visitors, above and beyond their admission fees.  Throughout the 40-night event, the community showed up again and again – whether it was to find Andy the Elf in the Park and interact with Easterseals on social media, or to attend the annual Bright Lights 5k race and 1-mile community walk – all to support the Easterseals Rehabilitation Center.

 During the upcoming weekend, hard-working volunteers from Teamsters Local 215, Operating Engineers 181, Feller Towing, Meisler’s Trailers, IBEW Local 16, NECA, and Electrical JATC will dismantle and remove light displays at Evansville’s Garvin Park. The annual fundraising event and holiday tradition wouldn’t be possible without the expertise and time donated by members of these groups. Additionally, Easterseals wants to thank the more than 80 display sponsors, and all the companies, community organizations, and private families who volunteered throughout the event.

Details for the 31st annual Ritzy’s Fantasy of Lights are already in the works with plans to replace some older displays and provide opportunities for new display sponsors.  It will open on Thanksgiving night and will run through New Year’s Day. More information on the annual event can be found at https://ritzysfantasyoflights.com.

Companies, organizations, churches and families interested in sponsoring a light display or volunteering at the event are invited to contact Easterseals Director of Special Events, Carolyn Franklin, at 812.437.2607.

      Major sponsors are Ritzy’s, IBEW Local 16, NECA, Teamsters Local 215, Electrical JATC, International Union of Painters & Allied Trades (IUPAT) DC91, IUOE Local 181 – Operating Engineers, ABC 25 / CW 7, Evansville Living, Lamar Advertising, Tools 4 Teaching, 99.5 WKDQ, MY105.3, 103 GBF, KISS 106, Newstalk 1280 AM, 92.5 WBKR, 1490AM/99.1 FM WOMI, Kenny Kent Chevrolet.
