EVANSVILLE, INDIANA
History Lesson: Before it was Reitz Hill it was Coal Mine Hill
Before the construction of Reitz High School, Reitz Hill was the home of a large coal mine known as Coal Mine Hill.
The first mine at the site, which was owned by Bodium Coal Company, opened in 1858, making one of the earliest mining operations in the state.
In 1883, the mine was purchased by John Ingle Coal Company, taking the name Ingleside Mine. Coal was removed by hand with the aid of miniature horses and mules.
The mine produced a bituminous coal, a higher quality coal being used in smithing and metallurgy. Coal was transferred first my barge and later by rail.
Several mine inspections of the time noted that the mine was relatively safe, compared to other operations at the time.
In September 1893, a fire in the mine killed 11 mules but no miners were killed. Eventually, the mine would reach a depth of 265 feet, even mining below the bend of the Ohio River.
The mine was closed in 1917.
The hill overlooking downtown Evansville became prime real estate and was chosen as the site of a new west side high school. Reitz Hill supplanted the name.

The Chevron case determined by the US Supreme Court this past week, provides an opportunity and the catalyst for the Indiana Secretary of State, Diego Morales, to ban all federal agencies that have infiltrated the Indiana elections. The usual suspects, EAC, CISA, CIS, and others must be removed from Indiana election system immediately.
The Indiana Secretary of State, has the moral responsibility and legal authority to provide the leadership to eradicate undue influence from Federal “unelected” offices.
This is exactly the basis of the Chevron case, to allow for the rule of law to govern rather than unelected officials or agencies. It is way beyond time to act to restore election integrity to Indiana.
Diego Morales’ campaign promise was to assure a free and fair election.
There is an opportunity to remove the Federal Government and it’s contractors from Indiana elections. Diego what are you waiting for? Act! Hoosiers will support you.

Joe Hoft shredding the FBI for covering up the crimes of the 2020 election across the country, especially Georgia and Michigan.
“If something happens to me, we’ve got the evidence, more than just video, we’re going to drop this bomb piece by piece on these animals.”
📝U.S. Congress certified a criminal enterprise on Jan 6.
After spending more than a decade as an international corporate executive, Joe Hoft is now a radio host and an author. As one of “The Hoft Brothers”, he is also a key contributor at his twin brother Jim Hoft’s award-winning conservative website, The Gateway Pundit.
So how is Indiana involved? Both Senators Todd Young and Mike Braun “certified” the 2020 Election on January 6th, even after State Delegates asserted the election irregularities were known. Vice President Pence, presiding over the meeting called for the certification of the 2020 Election.
This is the basis of the Brunson Case currently in the US Supreme Court to remove the majority of Congress for certifying that fraudulent election; including Young and Braun.
There is a pending amicus brief, filed in Georgia, in which Supreme Court Judge, Clarence Thomas will determine the “decertification” of the 2020 Election. It’s coming!!!

INDIANA State Rep. Culp on Farmland Loss: ‘We Should be Concerned as Hoosiers’
Yesterday we told you about the report released by the Indiana State Department of Agriculture that showed just under 350,000 acres of farmland lost in Indiana between 2010 and 2022.
“I would say the data is significant. In my mind, we should be concerned as Hoosiers,” says Republican State Representative Kendell Culp who represents House District 16 in Northwest Indiana.
The Rensselaer farmer authored the bill asking ISDA for the data regarding lost farmland. He put his math skills to the test and says if you divide the number of acres by the size of the average farm in Indiana, “we’re losing 106 farms per year. At this rate, that’s what that works out to be. And that’s substantial. You know, 94% of Indiana’s farms are family farms, so just say 106 of those are going to be family farms that are no longer going to be in existence every year. These are real people. These are people that are doing business in their local communities, that are supporting the food chain. And so, it becomes very personal, I think. And again, these numbers do not include renewable energy conversions.”
So, what’s next? Culp says the legislature should all agree that this is a problem that needs a solution, or at least a majority should. Then, it’s time to start looking for solutions because this is a food security issue.
“If ag is important to our communities, then I think we have to look at not only how can we protect the farmland, but how can we protect the farmer. And so, I’m going to be digesting this information on a personal level and coming up with some thoughts and ideas, and I certainly welcome input on that, on how can we protect the farmer? How can we say to them that you’re important, that we know that there are a lot of struggles, there’s a lot of competition out here for your land, and instead of leasing it for another purpose, what kind of incentive would it take for you to keep it in production that produces food? I think that’s really going to be an important question we’re going to have to find an answer to.”
Culp throws out some potential incentives and discusses some of the issues farmers will face at the Statehouse this year, like property taxes, in the full HAT interview below.

Why Are They Building SECRET DETENTION CAMPS in All 50 States? w/ J.J. Carrell
There is an active 5 year contract with the Department of Defense to create “detention centers” in every US State. The public has been identifying some completed facilities and sharing the intention of our Federal Government.
It seems logical the Indiana facility would be located at a large military complex such as Crane Naval base in Central Indiana. Try asking questions of your elected officials, but be forewarned, they will assert you are “harassing” them for inquiring.

John Rust petitions U.S. Supreme Court to evaluate Indiana’s party affiliation statute
John Rust, who earlier this year was denied access to Indiana’s GOP primary ballot, is appealing to the Supreme Court of the United States — seeking review of the Hoosier high court’s split March decision that stymied his candidacy.
Rust filed his 217-page petition with SCOTUS on Monday. In it, he argues that the justices should revisit Indiana’s “harsh ballot access laws” that keep him “and over 81% of all Hoosiers off of primary ballots.”
The petition posits Indiana’s ballot access laws are “uniquely harsh” and “do not serve any legitimate state interest,” but instead “cater to political party bosses, disenfranchising party members and voters.” Rust additionally asserts that the Supreme Court’s test for assessing ballot access issues “needs to be revisited and clarified.”
Indiana Supreme Court issues 3-2 opinion upholding party affiliation statute in Rust case
His request comes after the Indiana Election Division voted unanimously in March to block Rust’s Republican candidacy.
The basis for the state panel’s decision was an Indiana party affiliation law that prohibits candidates from running whose last two primary votes don’t match the party they wish to represent.
If the U.S. Supreme Court accepts the case, oral arguments would likely not be heard until early next year, according to Rust’s legal counsel. Even so, Rust said he expects a decision by this fall on whether the court will take it up.
“As I promised when the Indiana Supreme Court’s opinion was issued, I will continue to fight for ballot access for all constitutionally qualified Hoosiers,” Rust said in a statement. “At a time when hard working Americans feel their voices are not heard and their votes do not matter, this is a battle that has to be fought. I will never stop fighting for Hoosiers and all Americans.”
A final plea to the U.S. Supreme Court
Rust sought for months to challenge U.S. Rep. Jim Banks for the GOP U.S. Senate nomination, but a state law requires a candidate’s two most recent primary votes align with their preferred party — a bar Rust didn’t meet.
The Seymour egg farmer voted Republican in 2016 and Democrat in 2012. The law allows an exception, should the county’s party chair grant it. Jackson County Republican Party Chair Amanda Lowery elected not to do so in this case.
He sued to gain access to the Republican ballot, saying the measure barred the vast majority of Hoosiers from running under their preferred party.
Marion County Superior Court Judge Patrick J. Dietrick found in December that the two-primary requirement is unconstitutional. But the state appealed, and the Indiana Supreme Court expedited the case as a matter of “significant public interest.”
Both the Indiana Supreme Court and Indiana Election Commission separately found him ineligible in February rulings. The commission cited the law, which the Supreme Court upheld in a ruling — prompting Rust to file for a rehearing.
In his SCOTUS petition, Rust doubled down that the Indiana Supreme Court’s majority opinion requires him “to abandon his party affiliation to gain ballot access and denies voters choices on the primary ballot.” Because Indiana is a Republican supermajority state, “the primary election often is the election,” Rust emphasized in his filing.

Obama made it legal for the media to “purposely LIE to the American people”.
In 2012, he signed the National Defense Authorization Act H.R. 4310 / section 1078, which allowed PROPAGANDA to be used on US citizens by its’ own government.
Essentially repealing the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 which BANNED the use of domestic propaganda.
Congress was complicit.

Federal agencies ordered to halt voter registration services in Indiana
Secretary of State Diego Morales has ordered more than one hundred federal agencies to stop providing voter registration services in the Hoosier state.
Morales told these agencies to obtain state permission before engaging in election-related activities.
His orders stem from an executive order issued by President Biden in 2021 that mandates federal agencies to investigate ways to encourage people to vote. Biden’s order said options must be “consistent with applicable law.”
“This letter from my office is in response to the broad executive order from President Biden directing federal agencies to engage in election activity,” Morales posted on X. “States know best regarding our elections. We don’t need federal government overreach to run safe, secure elections!”
“The enthusiasm I have towards increasing our state’s voter registration and turnout numbers is immeasurable. Since the start of my administration, an unprecedented level of direct and financial assistance has been allocated to different counties. Alongside my team, we have blanketed the Hoosier state with voter outreach efforts, from festivals to county fairs to sporting events,” he added in a release.
Morales has shared several events he believes will boost voter turnout and participation in the upcoming November election.

Archbishop Vigano claims that the pope is a "zealous cooperator" in the Great Reset, who pursues the "demolition of the Church" in order to replace it with an organization of "Masonic inspiration."
States that there is a conspiracy between the deep state and the deep church and that the Pope is a Jesuit.
This is getting good. Vigano being excommunicated gives him freedom to speak. May God be with him! 🙏

Cast Vote Record under former Secretary of State Holli Sullivan. The document was public for years until intervention by leadership was blocked.
Cast Vote Record Transparency
The Cast Vote Record is a great way to determine how the ratio of votes between candidates trends in real time. Draza Smith has done some compelling analysis on these records to show some irregularities that are concerning.
The Secretary of State, Holli Sullivan, the Public Law Access Counselor, Luke Britt and the Indiana Election Division (namely Brad King and Angela Nussmeyer) are blocking citizens from all over the state to acquire this report/public records which will all be destroyed on September 3, 2022. “The CVR is confidential pursuant to IC 3-10-1-31.1(b). This statute notes (emphasis added) …”after the recount or contest filing period, the election material, including election material related to provisional ballots (except for ballots and provisional ballots, which remain confidential) shall be made available for copying and inspection under IC 5-14-3.” The individual selections made by the voter as recorded on a DRE or as recorded when the ballot card is scanned into an opScan unit are the equivalent of an electronic ballot. Therefore, the CVR is a confidential record under state law.”
This argument is spurious however and suggests that the Secretary of State’s office does not have an understanding of the format of this common report. The request seems to assume that the public would be privy to the actual scanned image of the ballot or the ballot itself which is not what the standard Cast Vote Record provides. The actual ballots would remain confidential! We have samples of the report headers and in no way does it provide any Personally Identifiable Information.
In order for our elections to be transparent and honest it is essential that We the People have access to key data points. The Cast Vote Record is a way for us to see trends in tabulation that may look awry. It does not in any way encroach on the secrecy of any voter.
If Indiana elections are “safe and secure” as our Secretary of State’s office claims they are, then why the stonewall? It is essential that we have more information not less if we are going to trust our election process and our election commission should be willing to work with us to ensure that confidence is instilled in the process.
