Oh yes, January 6th…the feast of the Epiphany. Coincidence?

“HUNDREDS of Missouri and Illinois patriots turned out today to rally in support of PRESIDENT TRUMP, BORDER SECURITY AND THE WALL!
The Missouri rally was announced just two days ago on Thursday.
On Saturday HUNDREDS of local conservatives and those in support of US border security voiced their support for US President Donald Trump and his insistence on border security…”

Texans – follow Texas Values. They’ve been doing great work in the Texas Legislature despite the worst efforts of Texas House Speaker Joe Straus working overtime to torpedo every piece of conservative legislation possible.
Advancing Faith, Family & Freedom at the Texas Capitol
The 86th Texas Legislative Session begins next week on Tuesday, January 8. Our team will be on the ground every day during the session working to protect life, marriage, religious freedom, and privacy. This will include working on religious freedom protections for Texans, specifically when it comes to Texans who believe in biblical marriage and human sexuality, and other important pro-family bills. We will also be working to stop bad legislation, including bills that have already been filed that would punish business owners who believe marriage is between one man and one woman and punish counselors who counsel based on biblical principles.
Texas has the opportunity to advance the line for family values in the 2019 Legislative Session, and our team stands ready to be a strong voice for our values. Please join us in prayer for our state, our state leaders, and for the Texas Values and Texas Values Action team as we prepare for this important opportunity to promote faith, family, and freedom in our great state.

This Texan thanks you. God bless y’all!!!

New Canadian Dollar Will Honor LGBT Rights
January 4, 2019
@activist_mommy
https://activistmommy.com/new-canadian-dollar-will-honor-lgbt-rights/
While this certainly marks the degree to which homosexuality has been normalized in the nation of Canada, the irony that Canadians are commemorating the anniversary of the government stepping out of the bedroom while it increases its clenches on every other aspect of life is resounding.
In Canada, as we have covered extensively over the last year, Christians face increasing restrictions on their freedom of speech, worship, and authority over their own children.
The Canadian government forces Christian schools to host LGBT clubs, and blocks them from informing parents of children’s membership.
Evangelist Bill Whatcott faces two years in prison for passing out Bible tracts and pamphlets at a gay pride parade.
Toronto politicians have tried to ban pro-life ads in public, while graphic “safe sex” ads depicting homosexual group sex have graced the subway untouched.
Accepting homosexuality isn’t simply liberty, it always results in a direct animosity towards people of faith.

michaelh

In case there was any doubt about Justin’s role:
LGBT Nation reports:
https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2019/01/new-canadian-dollar-will-honor-gay-rights/
The Canadian dollar coin will receive a new design on the reverse of the coin this year, marking the 50th anniversary of the decriminalization of homosexuality for adults across the country.
The design was approved by current Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, fitting given it was his own father, Pierre Trudeau, who introduced the 1969 amendments to Canada’s Criminal Code. These amendments decriminalized same-sex relationships in the country.
“There’s no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation. What’s done in private between adults doesn’t concern the Criminal Code,” said the elder Trudeau, then a Justice Minister.
Justin Trudeau followed in his father’s footsteps, apologizing for past acts of the government against LGBTQ Canadians and allocating up to 110 million Canadian Dollars to compensate those affected by the government’s “gay purge” of Canadians employed by the state.

New Orleans Women’s March Cancelled Over Leaders’ Controversial Antisemitic Views
January 4, 2019
@activist_mommy
https://activistmommy.com/new-orleans-womens-march-cancelled-over-leaders-controversial-antisemitic-views/
It’s no secret to anyone that’s been paying attention that the Women’s March was founded by a bunch of antisemites with a clear political motive.
Ever since the first Women’s March on January 19th, 2017, conservatives have been sounding the alarm that women like founders Linda Sarsour and Tamika Mallory were very cozy with open antisemite Louis Farrakhan.
In fact, before the first Women’s March even took place, its leadership faced criticism for refusing to let pro-life groups join, and anyone with half a brain could tell that the march wasn’t really about women, it was about the blatant left-wing “feminist” agenda.
…But now it appears that the ladies of the Women’s March have failed the intersectional agenda one too many times by sticking to their antisemitic roots. … Women’s March events across the nation are starting to completely fail at keeping their ideological house of cards aloft…
Sadly, after not even two years, it looks like the agenda-pushing, anti-woman, racist, and painfully astroturfed Women’s March is meeting its end.
Isn’t that nice to see?

For what it’s worth, just an observation of whats happening with China. The left has most of America asleep by design. If China wants to rattle it’s chain the only ones that are going to notice are mostly the red pilled and the Lion. China’s actions may thus go unnoticed by most. Cost of dumbing down the electorate.

LOL Hard to start a war when no one even knows you’re begging for one.
But who knows, China may decide to start one sneak attack style, with a bunch of corrupt U.S. politicians using the opportunity to justify more spend and power grab.
I don’t think Trump will allow that to escalate.

“PORTLAND, Ore. — A new city policy requiring public signs on brick buildings warning they might collapse in an earthquake is part of a long history of white supremacy aimed at forcing black people to move out of neighborhoods, the NAACP of Portland, Oregon, says.
The group on Thursday decried the policy affecting some 1,600 unreinforced masonry buildings that are on average 90 years old, many in areas with a predominantly black population, The Oregonian/OregonLive reports…”

Portland Oregon has been a Democrat run city pretty much forever. It has a really odd history, including settlement by a number of former Democrats that moved there following the Civil War. This is one of the places where the racist practice of “redlining” shows up. Once you dig deeper into the history, you find that the worst acts of racism were always overseen by Democrats. Even still, there is a constant effort in Portland to drive certain minorities out of desirable parts of the city using any kind of zoning apparatus that will do the trick.
Why the NAACP is calling attention to it? My guess is that they needed to do some fundraising.

it does not shy away from the sword”

Oh, love it!

bflyjesusgrl posted this at the end of yesterday’s open thread, but I suspect it didn’t get seen much. It is a pretty interesting thread, and long, and it introduces a new character (new to me at least) in this whole stinky plot against PDJT and her name is Nikole C. Flax. It appears she was at the “By the Book” meeting at BOs WH famously memorialized by Susan Rice just after PDJT’s inauguration ceremony.
I thought I’d repost it in case you missed it. And a few excerpts from it.
‘During the 2016 election season, I would wager that many if not most Americans had some element of trust of federal agencies – at least to some extent. How different our opinions are now!…
Back in May, Fox Business Network’s Maria Bartoromo stated that
then-President Obama “politicized all of his agencies” in an effort “to take down Donald Trump.”
18. “President Obama, basically, it appears to me, politicized all of his agencies: the [Department of Justice] DOJ, the FBI, the IRS, the CIA,” Bartiromo said on her Fox Business program, “Mornings with Maria.”
Let’s go down that rabbit hole a bit. Besides the obvious, could she have been hinting at something far more insidious? Do you remember that notorious “by the book meeting” in the Obama WH on 5 Jan 2017 and Susan Rice’s email to herself on 20 Jan 17? …
21. And there are also reports that at least some of President Trump’s tax returns may have been passed to the Special Counsel’s Office (SCO)…
22. This has led to sleuthing by concerned citizens regarding almost certain illegal IRS actions aimed at both hiding incriminating tax returns/information about the Clinton Foundation, as well as illegally transmitting POTUS’s tax returns to the SCO…
26. And it is PUBLIC information that Flax made over thirty visits to the Obama WH as the Lerner scandal broke. Yet she escaped any accountability for that scandal and is still working at the IRS. WHY so many? Over 30!!?
27. What is NOT public is that there is evidence that she participated in that noteworthy Obama WH “by the book” meeting on 5 Jan 2017 along with President Obama, VP Biden, Dep’ty AG Yates, FBI Director Comey, and National Security Advisor Rice…”

Sylvia Avery

Oh good! I am hoping to keep that in mind, also, but there’s so much to remember. I nearly choked when I read how close she was in the BO inner circle and pretty tightly connected for an IRS employee.
Her position didn’t seem to warrant that kind of access, you know? But of course the IRS would be a very useful source of valuable oppo information to barter, blackmail, or bludgeon people with so it makes sense when you put on your criminal hat to consider it.
I bet she’s a Red Diaper Baby, too, or something like it.

Alison

Thanks, Sylvia and Beflyjesusgrl. I would have missed this about another shyster in our midst.
‘By the Book’, my ass,

It infuriates me that she has apparently passed PDJTs tax returns to Mueller. Those despicable pigs.

“Michelle Obama is being tipped to follow in her husband footsteps and run as the Democrat candidate in the 2020 US presidential race.
Despite her repeated denials that she has any political ambitions, highly placed Washington insiders believe Mrs Obama’s sky-high approval ratings with voters will prompt senior Democrats to urge her to reconsider.
It follows the huge success of her memoir Becoming, which has topped the bestseller lists since it was published in November. Polls also regularly rate her more popular than Donald Trump…
(Per Mike Huckabee) ‘Now that Michelle Obama has been named “Most Admired Woman” for 2018, it’s time for me to make a prediction for 2019: the former First Lady will toss her hat in the ring for 2020, and she will get her party’s nomination,’ it said.
‘Her PR machine, which has quietly percolated ever since Hillary lost, went full-tilt in September with the November 13 release of her book, Becoming. (One might ask, “Becoming what?” I say, “Becoming a presidential nominee.”)’
But such a move would contradict her memoir, in which she writes: ‘I’ve never been a fan of politics, and my experience over the last ten years has done little to change that.’….
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6561397/Michelle-Obama-tipped-White-House-bid-2020-amid-sky-high-approval-ratings.html

Sylvia Avery

Well. I guess we could look forward to her wearing her glitter ho boots during the debate….

Sylvia Avery

I suspect her so called “approval” rating is pretty soft. If people heard her talking about “all THAT for a flag?” and seeing her dangly bits when she was dancing with Ellen and a few other things some of that might well evaporate.

Sylvia Avery

Wolf, that thought has crossed my mind as well. They’ve pushed the trans thing so hard, so fast, it is obviously not organic. It is forced. So then you naturally wonder who is behind it and what is their agenda? Or is there one other than degeneracy? But it just seems so unlikely–coincidental–about Moochelle and the , ah, issues rumored there.
I don’t know that Mooch was ever anything but a fall back plan, but I swear the whole thing smells of a set up.

Harry Lime

“…it is obviously not organic.”
You can say that again.

michaelh

Hard to say who all the players are, but the left org HRC is thick with it. More to say on this.

Pat Frederick

i thought some were exaggerating about that dance on Ellen till i actually watched the slo motion video…OMG…
i’m wondering if part of the scheme is to have her bravely COME OUT as transgender or something so she can claim as sorts of media benefits (think Bruce Jenner)…then any attacks on her positions can be dismissed as homophobic/racist prejudice…

Sylvia Avery

I wonder that, too.

Tanks headed to the border? …I hope so!

A Fortiori (@AFortiori16)

Just so folks know, these tanks were probably headed to Fort Irwin. With all the emphasis on the war on terror over the past decade, the army has become concerned about its readiness to fight large scale, combined arms wars. Thus, for the past couple of years, the army has stepped up its large scale maneuver training at Fort Irwin, and the units involved typically bring their equipment with them, in part to train on the process of transporting their equipment.

From what I understand, those who commit crimes against children are the lowest of the low in the prison pecking-order.
I suspect that one of the reasons for this is that so many of the inmates were likely abused / neglected as children themselves.
It’s easier to rationalize a crime against an adult, who perhaps “should have known better”, than against a child, who doesn’t know better. Children are always innocent, in a significant sense. They aren’t “fair game”, as it were, and even the majority of prisoners seem to recognize this.

“U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., abruptly halted a Twitter debate with newcomer Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York early Sunday after at least three commenters made references to the June 2017 shooting in which Scalise and three other people were shot by a left-wing activist.
“snipe his a–,” one Twitter user wrote, in support of Ocasio-Cortez.
“she’s got better aim that James Hodgkinson, that’s for sure,” another wrote, comparing Ocasio-Cortez’s Twitter responses to the marksmanship of the suspect in the Virginia shooting, a Bernie Sanders supporter who later died in a shootout with police.
“Kick his cane,” a third wrote.
Prior to the comments, Scalise and Ocasio-Cortez had been debating the Democrat’s proposal for enacting a tax rate of up to 70 percent on income. Scalise had called for letting Americans “keep more of their own hard-earned money…”

So are the Planned Parenthood Margaret Sanger award champions (Obama, Hillary, Pelosi and even Bill Gates). They all know what barbaric acts PP perpetrates upon helpless unborn babies and approve, even profit from it.

I am so happy that Scalise exposed these monsters.

Sylvia Avery

Yes, although it did cross my mind to wonder why he would even bother to engage with the little Commie.

wheatietoo

I’m glad Scalise shut it down.
There is no reason for him to have to take that kind of abuse.
This is what comes from the Enemedia’s rhetoric against R’s.
Their false narratives and vilification of conservatives is encouraging violence.
What happened to Steve Scalise in that ballfield was a result of that rhetoric.
And it has gotten worse since then.

On New Year’s Day, Laura Ingraham had a must-watch/must-listen segment about the House Intel report on the GPS Fusion investigation.
The House opened the report to all members — not just committee members or Republicans. The Democrats did not want to see it.
Paul Ryan had the chance to release it under Rule 10. According to those who saw it, it is definitely in the public interest because it shows the extent of corruption in the FBI/DoJ. The Ohrs came up in the discussion, too.
The Democrats do NOT want this report released.
I found it thanks to a commenter at The Trumpet, a retired lawyer, who wrote yesterday (emphasis mine):
https://www.hillaryis44.org/2019/01/01/president-trump-and-the-2019-prediction/#comment-506963
‘… Ingraham says that House Intel report of the Fusion GPS investigation has now been seen by a number of Republicans, that it shows widespread corruption, abuse and illegal behavior at the top echelon of the Justice Department and the FBI AND THE OBAMA WHITE HOUSE. AND THE CORRUPTION GOES RIGHT INTO THE BEATING HEART OF MUELLER’S OFFICE. This information remains classified, but there is a provision in the House rules that allows it to be released to the public, because of the dimension of the scandal and the public right to know when there is in effect a coup in progress, and all it took was a house vote to release that information. So far as I know, the corrupt Paul Ryan sat on this, did not arrange that critical vote, and now that the Republicans no longer control the House, I assume, that opportunity is gone. One way or another that report must come out. And there must be accountability. Perhaps, Barr will release that information, after he is confirmed. And Huber needs to be fired. He is a do nothing guy, on an issue where we need answers, and aggressive action.’
Here is the video. The discussion takes place between 4:30 and 13:50:

Whilst reading this morning, by chance, I happened to find two gems from the recent past.
One is Andrew Breitbart, who said that Donald Trump is not a conservative (what I’ve been trying to tell my friends, but to no avail):

The other is SD’s 2015 post, ‘Why I Support Donald Trump’, which makes for very interesting reading. I had not heard of CTH until 2016. Anyone who was not on CTH then might find this worthwhile. Commenters, by the way, are very different to the group there now:
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2015/07/13/why-i-support-donald-trumps-campaign-and-its-probably-not-what-you-think/

Sylvia Avery

I bet Andrew Breitbart would love President Trump. People have tried to label Donald Trump forever, but they never seem to stick. He just is what he is.

churchmouse

Agree!
Would have loved to see the two of them get together for an interview.
At heart, when his policy positions are averaged out, PDJT’s a centrist. Some are conservative (the wall), others aren’t (prison reform).
I just wish he could get more traction with the Americans I know. (Only two of my friends voted for him.) They listen to way too much MSM.

michaelh

I’ve found it very frustrating that prison reform was not considered a “conservative” position. That’s not to say that I agree with the liberals on how it should be done – people who despise LEO’s and want to throw open the gates and allow mayhem to reign are not the ones I would align my reform policies with.
Also neglected is that many on the left are responsible for the “tough on crime” policies that disproportionately affected black America – the congressional black caucus for decades was driving their narrative of a drug epidemic destroying black America, that we needed stronger mandatory sentencing for drug possession and drug pushing. All that “tough on crime” played out by boomeranging law enforcement and criminal justice against black America and giving far too high a proportion of young black men criminal records, effectively destroying their opportunities for gainful employment for life, and taking them away from their children even if they did want to be the dad’s they were meant to be.
Ugh, the left is despicable. Decades of this destruction, followed by years of fomenting from the highest levels of the prior administration the notion that cops are racist and that cops have it out for black America – why? Because they were enforcing the laws, as written, that the left themselves put in place! The Alinsky model could be thrown into full force to prove to blacks that cops were the bad guys! Mob mentality and anger stoked over and against clear, rational thought, provided the mind control needed to create a resistance movement out of useful idiots. The same, of which, rioted, burned, and engaging and rampant criminality. Did they do it against “white America”? No, actually – they did it against their own neighborhoods, against their own successful businesses, against their friends and neighbors, and against their own families. They burned their own black and minority communities, and often any opportunities with it. All whites got from it was fear and intimidation – more social division.
Then along comes President Trump. Takes LEO’s seriously and the problems with law enforcement seriously. Stops targeting cops via a weaponized AG and phony charges of racial discrimination. Changes policies that ramp up the economy to unheard of levels, creating so many new jobs that African American unemployment is at its lowest level IN HISTORY. Creates an avalanche of vocational training opportunities from businesses looking to hire workers. And he talks about prison reform for years pushing for it to make it easier for people coming out of prison to find the jobs they need to have the dignity of a paycheck, not be dependent on welfare, and not have to fall back on crime to survive. So incredibly brilliant – solutions that have evaded politicians on both sides of the aisle b/c they had their heads in the sand.
There’s still a lot of work to do. Too many cities have corrupt police/govt unions that are driving the cities policies toward leftist destruction. These D controlled and corrupted cities are inevitably the ones that have BOTH the greatest emphasis on racial diversity in hiring practices AND the most grievous racial incidents in the country. Red cities that are not unionized FIRE cops that are involved in racial incidents – but not corrupt blue cities, with a circle of politicians, unions, and police who run cover for each other.

Tonawanda

Prison is Hell, regardless of what people believe. The suffering is unfathomable.
Why is visiting a prisoner a chief act of Christian mercy?
And yes, while people cheer on law enforcement – – as they SHOULD do – – they have to also understand how the left has distorted law enforcement (as with every other proper and valid institution), and done it in such a way where the left’s enemies are cheering for the left’s success.
Who do you think REALLY benefits when the DWI/DUI laws are made more strict? You or the left?
Or domestic violence laws?
Or animal cruelty laws?
Or environmental laws?
The left has gamed all these out, and as usual there is no incremental public health/safety benefit, just political benefit for the left.
The left destroys the lives of many, many black people, and they have succeeded in destroying the lives of many white people.
The difference is, the white people cheer the left on.

Michael, you should start your own WP blog and drop links here to your posts.
Your essay here would be a great intro post. Please copy it and save it, if you haven’t already done so.
You have summed up the whole LEO, crime, corruption, recidivism problem into a nutshell clearly and cogently.
You’ll say you don’t have time to blog, but for every comment like this that you post here (and you’ve posted quite a few), copy and paste them individually on your own site. Once or twice a week is not a huge deal, when you’ve already written the material here. We’ll come visit to read your posts.
We need MAGA voices now more than ever, even, if to the wider population, we sound like lone wolves (!?! : ) — an hommage to our generous, free-thinking host).
As you are also a committed Christian, you can intersperse biblical themes and quotes on other days.
Go for it, friend.
But, obviously, keep posting A LOT here. 🙂
Hope you had a blessed Epiphany. Isn’t it great when January 6 falls on a Sunday?

“In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is…in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.”
― Theodore Dalrymple

churchmouse

He’s brilliant.

Tonawanda

Yes. I remember a comment he made based on his experience as a prison psychiatrist. He said the inmates always explained how they were a good person who had fell in with a bad crowd, but he never met an inmate who was part of the bad crowd.

churchmouse

Yes!
He had another column, in City Journal, I think, a few years ago wherein he said that most criminals are malnourished. One guy who was arrested ate nothing but chocolate bars. Dalrymple said that if criminals ate proper, balanced meals there would be a lot less crime.
I think he’s on to something important there, because there were trials about 20 years ago in US prisons where inmates were given daily vitamin tablets. The results were very good — much less violence. (I don’t know if that became a permanent policy in those institutions. It should, but it’s too sensible.)
I used to read all his columns when he wrote for The Spectator (UK). I have three of his books, none of which I could put down.

Undoutedly! The cost of running grocery stores in high crime areas is very high, so in many of these places the only places that stay open are the liquor stores. They stock honey buns and other junk food, but it is a long bus ride to get to any grocery stores that have quality food.
One ministry in Dallas to the Bonton community made an impact by starting a community garden to provide fresh produce and recruiting people from the area to maintain it. Has made an incredible difference there.

churchmouse

If it’s a faith based community, it will work. Kudos to the project in Dallas. Yes, I can imagine it’s made a huge difference. Thank goodness.
However, in places like Detroit, only the environmentally conscious seek to farm what are now, sadly, great blocks of unused land. That is a lot of work and someone who eats chocolate bars daily (i.e. the guy arrested when Dalrymple was working that night) is not going to be interested in fruit and vegetables. He most certainly will not want to till the land, plant with a dibber, tend to seedlings, watch for pests, care for the plants and, if he’s lucky, harvest the crop.
A community garden takes a committed leader, then a small set of families to care for it.
Therein lies the difference — and that is not a criticism. If there were more community gardens, there would be healthier Americans and less crime. It would be great if vacant land in Detroit could be divided up into hundreds of community gardens, but there aren’t enough people able or willing to keep them up, JMHO.
Can many small communal gardens be started elsewhere? I do not know.
We have the same problem in the UK in poorer areas (some white, some mixed race) with easy availability of ‘strong drink’ (as some Britons call it) at the expense of good food to prepare from scratch.
Two of our television stations, BBC2 and Channel 4, have run various series over the past 15 or so years with a couple of well-known national cooks/chefs who have taught less well-off people how to either grow their own food on a local allotment (available from the local council for a peppercorn rent) or cook from what they can find in a local supermarket.
The allotment projects, which, like the one in Dallas, are small and community-oriented with chickens, fruit and vegetables. Families managing them have been so happy not only to learn how to farm locally but also to cook and eat better for less.
The supermarket-oriented series are equally rewarding. Families shift from junk food to real home cooking, which brings a smile to everyone’s faces, especially the children affected and involved.
I do increasingly think that all this junk food is a plan by the elites to make the great unwashed — which probably includes us Deplorables — fat, unhealthy, diabetic and sugar-crazed. In the event of sugar madness, there are Big Pharma tablets for that, especially for hyperactive children. (Ahem.)

michaelh

Don’t be so down on Detroit – they have Christopher Brooks up there! The things Evangel Ministries is doing are amazing.
I’m still not sure about the junk food plan. Michelle’s plans for school lunches could easily be phase 2 of a larger strategy. There are a lot of people that would love to get their hands on control of the agricultural product supply chain. The food control nazis definitely want to control how and what everyone eats, they are very real. Michael Bloomberg was a prime example of trying to tax sodas and regulate salt. If they could control the food, they would be able to control the masses. Soylent Green would look pretty cheerful by comparison.

churchmouse

Oh, yes, that’s the other side of the coin. Agree that it’s very real.
Re school lunches, the good news is that ‘Secretary Sonny’ Perdue dismantled M’s menu plan in 2017:

Ha, he hit that one right on the head!

GA/FL

The communist/progressive/leftists have tried to define or redefine what is good and what is evil and what is the ‘politically correct’ or good way of thinking/believing/acting.
For example, they are trying to make Christianity evil and Islam good and trying to make homos3xuality/bis3xuality/other perv3rsions good/normal and Faithful heterosexual marriage with children abnormal/bad. Of course, they are tying to make communism is good and capitalism is bad. They try to deride, condemn and label anyone who doesn’t believe in Global Warming/Climate Change™. Heck, they’ve even got the leftist South American liberation theology Pope touting ALL their PC lines.

Yes!
People need to think about this quote when the DemoKKKrats and the left are enforcing the “rule” that we must call a man a woman.

churchmouse

When Kirstjen Nielsen was discussing the DHS border situation on Wednesday, Nancy Pelosi actually interrupted her. Wow:
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/pelosi-interrupted-dhs-boss-nielsen-during-presentation-on-illegal-immigrants-saying-i-reject-your-facts.amp
‘At one point during the meeting, according to the Wall Street Journal, Pelosi interrupted Nielsen, who was citing statistics related to the border, including how many criminal illegal immigrants attempted to enter the U.S. last year.
‘“I reject your facts,” Pelosi told Nielsen.
‘“These aren’t my facts,” Nielsen shot back. “These are the facts.”’

churchmouse

She has such a tough job. Pelosi should have stayed quiet and listened — then rebutted.
I wonder how long Neilsen will stay though, now that Kelly’s gone. I think she’ll be gone by summer.

Cuppa Covfefe

Yep, and it was good she responded.
To tell someone “I reject your facts” reveals both appalling ignorance and unbridled hubris. One cannot reject FACTS, they are called that because they are verifiable, documented, tested, and proven (as opposed to “the science is settled”). Situational ethics has found its ba$tard brother in “situational fact”…
By making this statement, Piglosi is making facts (aka the truth) into a moveable feast, as it were, relativizing and rationalizing any whim, fad, fashion or fake that she’d choose to make into fact.
Stalin and Göbbels are probably applauding in Hell…

michaelh

Yes, she wants to control the facts. Just like how “transparency” to her means having a closed door meeting with Trump and Schumer, agreeing to what facts will be allowed, and finally then being “transparent” by telling the world what the facts they decided are!
I love how Trump exposed that non-sense and most people missed it.

Sylvia Avery

Supposedly six seconds after Nielsen began her presentation, Chuck leaned over to Nancy and told her to interrupt Nielsen. Speculation was he didn’t want to do it himself as the optics might be poor for a man to dare to interrupt a woman. Anyway, she was not allowed to complete her presentation. So PDJT had a written copy sent out to all the House members so they could read if for themselves.

churchmouse

And I bet the Dems threw it away.
Thanks for the back story. Much appreciated.

Sylvia Avery

My first thought, too, was I doubt they bothered to read it. But he made a valiant effort!

churchmouse

And he can always bring that up in future: ‘They wouldn’t listen, so I gave them a written copy. Did they read it?’

michaelh

Yep. “Didn’t you get the memo?”

Tonawanda

Their plan really is to ignore facts contemptuously. And they don’t care that we know that is what they are doing.
It is quite clear their plans A, B, C, and D are to do harm to VSG.

Yesterday’s gilets jaunes action — Acte 8.
Must-see video (only a few seconds long):
https://twitter.com/Bellingdawg/status/1081676134876672001
Related article at the Daily Mail:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6560213/France-ablaze-hundreds-Yellow-Vest-activists-clash-police.html
‘Masked thugs broke into a French government ministry tonight – leading to the ’emergency evacuation’ of government spokesman Benjamin Griveaux during a day of Yellow Vests rioting.
‘The 41-year-old, who is one of President Emmanuel Macron’s most senior lieutenants, was rushed to safety by police during the drama.
‘Dramatic footage shows how a forklift taken from a nearby construction site was used to smash through the entrance of the building.
”Around fifteen masked people dressed in black broke into Mr Griveaux’s office at about 4.30 on Saturday,’ said an investigating source.
”His staff had heard the group approaching, and managed to get him to safety, and he was unhurt. Video is being studied to try and identify those involved. There were Yellow Vest protesters in the vicinity.’
‘All of those involved managed to escape without any immediate arrests, said the source.
‘It was on Friday that Mr Griveaux had warned of a full blown revolution as the anti-government Yellow Vests prepared for an eighth Saturday of violence in a row.
‘He said they were radicals ‘who seek insurrection and basically want to overthrow the government.’
‘Today there were around 3000 of them in Paris alone, with another 22,000 plus in other parts of France.’

wheatietoo

There were thousands of peaceful YellowVest people out on the streets…but these few that broke into the govt bldg are the ones that get the press.
I wonder if they were ‘real’ YellowVesters or if they were plants, to make the movement look bad.

churchmouse

That’s what I wonder, too.
Most people who call in to the French talk show I listen to are everyday French men and women who can’t make ends meet. They need their cars, too, so an increased petrol tax ‘to help the environment’ is the last thing they need.
This movement has attracted the far left and the far right. Therefore, it’s no surprise that there’s violence.
To your first point, yes, the media — including French media — are positioning this as pure violence to sap empathy away from the movement. It’s working, based on the talk show I listen to. There’s much less support among the hosts and various panellists now, even though they still take calls nearly every day from a normal gilet jaune or two.

churchmouse

It was enough to cause panic indoors.
The vehicle reminded me of Animal House, the black float with ‘CUT THE CAKE’ painted on the side. 🙂

Cuppa Covfefe

Considering the remark by Marie Antoinette, and the fact that the black limo had “EAT ME” on the front, that’s especially appropriate…(let them eat cake (or bumpers) indeed).

churchmouse

🙂

GA/FL

I think they are plants from the Antifa/globalist side.

Cuppa Covfefe

It they were all in black, masked, then they were Antifa, a diversion or FF designed to smear the Yellow Vests.
By stealing the forklift, and then breaking down the door, they’ve committed multiple crimes which will no doubt be ascribed to the Yellow Vests.
Getting the same drivel with the so-called hack here in Germany. Seems the data-slurping has been going on for years. And even the leftard “Register”, a techie site, is skeptical about the whole thing. Heise, the computer expert site here in Germany (publisher of c’t, iX, Mac and i, among others) is also of the opinion that what is reported is rather thin on facts and the truth (maybe using Piglosi’s “facts” ? 🙂 )…

I can almost hear him now. Thanks!

Cuppa Covfefe

Just made me think of the voices – would be interesting to have William F. Buckley, David Frost, Richard Burton, and Peter Sellers together, just to hear them speak.
I read that when Peter Sellers was researching or creating a role, the first thing that he would work out was the voice, then the mannerisms and everything else. I saw an interview with him where he did accents and bits of roles, and even combined accents (e.g. a Frenchman playing an Indian, etc.).
Fascinating yet troubled man… (Was looking up Spike Milligan, which led to Peter Sellers, which led to the interviews)…
Also like Spike Milligan’s tombstone inscription “I told you I was ill” … (he had to have it inscribed in Gaelic, also a funny story).

churchmouse

Too funny!
Sellers used to drive his wives and girlfriends mad with his roleplaying.
When David Suchet was gearing up for the next season of Poirot, he, too, would go into full roleplay mode for several weeks beforehand. (We’re talking attire, moustache, the lot.) He said it used to drive his wife a bit mad, but after all those years, she got used to it.

Clean up your own house before bitching about “the House”…

churchmouse

Yes, and what about investigating voter fraud, too.
Some of those results last year (e.g. Arizona) seem suspect.

Cuppa Covfefe

Agreed. I think if all the fraudulent votes were removed/reversed, the composition of the House would be quite different, and decidely Republican. And I don’t think “Lady ISIS” and “Occasional Cortex” and “Lucy is a Bi with diamonds” would be there, wasting our time and money…

https://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2018/09/mit-yale-study-of-govt-data-finds-22-1-mil-illegal-immigrants-in-u-s/
The number of illegal immigrants in the United States is nearly double the current and widely reported estimate of 11.3 million, according to a new academic study that uses a more precise method. The research was conducted by professors from two of the nation’s most prestigious universities, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Yale, and determined that 22.1 million illegal aliens live in the U.S. Even when implementing extremely conservative parameters, the study measures a population of 16.7 million, which is still substantially higher than the figure that is universally accepted by the government and media.’

Mattis-related resignations at the Pentagon:

‘The Department of Defense’s chief of staff Rear Adm. Kevin Sweeney has resigned, according to a statement.
‘Sweeney said in a brief statement that he planned to return to the private sector, giving no reason for his departure. His exit comes just days after Secretary of Defense James Mattis, for whom Sweeney previously served, left the agency after announcing his resignation earlier in the month.
‘”After two years in the Pentagon, I’ve decided the time is right to return to the private sector. It has been an honor to serve again alongside the men and women of the Department of Defense,” Sweeney said in his announcement.
‘His resignation also followed that of another top Mattis ally, Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White, who announced her resignation at the end of December.
‘“I appreciate the opportunity afforded to me by this administration to serve alongside Secretary Mattis, our Service members and all the civilians who support them. It has been my honor and privilege,” White wrote on Twitter last month. “Stay safe and God bless.”’

Watching it now – early on, Janda claims that whatever was given to the Shrub, Laura, Jeb, etc. at the funeral has something to do with the absence of so many on Twitter. DS/global syndicate absolutely petrified right now at what is coming. All his sources tell him declas will occur, timing is up to PDJT, who has a timeframe all his own as to when he will do it. Explanation w/Huber didn’t show up when 2 whistleblowers testified – his case (Little Rock) could have ended up thrown out.
Re: funeral – contacts called him the day before and told him to be sure to watch the funeral – “you need to watch it and keep a close eye on what transpires.” Jadan finds it interesting that there was no interaction at all between POTUS/FLOTUS and the Pence’s when they entered and sat down. Was told others in the Cathedral got letters and they were, essentially, “coming attractions.”
Note to Laura Bush, showed to Jeb, supposedly had something to do with Pence (he was VERY close to the Bush family).
Whoa……brings up potential Pence involvement in cover-up of child trafficking and letting Jeb know Pence is NOT his “insurance policy” that the Bush family will be allowed to continue to operate, as Jeb may have thought (at around 22:50 mark)!!!!
OK – I advise watching this – supposedly, ALL from his inner sources.

NebraskaFilly

OK – ignore the document that was allegedly filed in Arkansas – this is from the NLA (?), the group trying to bring back the Common Law Grand Jury. It is NOT a legal document. I mean…..”read them the RIOT Act?” Seriously????

churchmouse

WHOA!
That is YUGE!
I really hope that Janda is on the money here.
Thank you VERY much, Nebraska Filly, for listening — and for taking the time to write up such an excellent summary!
I really didn’t think much about the proceedings at the funeral. Even having seen a number of tweets, I wondered if people were sensationalising what was going on. Now I am beginning to give those tweets more weight. (I bookmarked several at the time, just in case.)
If Janda is correct, this sheds a lot more (MAGA comforting) light on the situation, including (albeit separately) Pence and Huber.
I personally like Pence, but I know controversy still rages about him at our former refuge.
I still think, based on a theory from someone there which I posted yesterday, that Pence is indirectly essential to the preservation of Trump’s presidency and his re-election next year. For those who missed it, Pence must be kept safe and secure as VP, otherwise, potential chaos reigns (Romney as VP, Dems scheming for Pelosi, etc.).
Honestly, this real life saga makes all political intrigue television series look like I Love Lucy or The Dick Van Dyke Show. (I’m showing my age, but, at my age, who cares? 😉 )
Thank you again, Nebraska Filly!

I have to wonder if the Pence connection has to do with the cover-up over the Franklin Credit Union & Boys Town scandal – it was claimed by more than one kid that the Shrub was there and participated. BTW, age is a matter of the mind – if you don’t mind, it don’t matter! And I LOVED the Dick Van Dyke Show!

Ted Nugent is planning a star-studded build-the-wall benefit concert (no date that I can see):
https://wearethellod.com/breaking-ted-nugent-announces-build-the-wall-star-studded-benefit-concert/
‘According to Event Coordinator, Art Tubolls:
‘“Rather than having self-proclaimed chemists selling doses of PCP, we’ll have respectably dressed young men and women collecting donations from concerned Americans. We believe we can raise no less than $50 million, which is way more than they need to start a wall somewhere. The law says once you start a federal project you can’t stop. We will make our lives safer from the small percentage of refugees who come here on foot.”’
Apparently, concert organisers are working with The Trump Organization (Dems will have a field day with that):
‘Nugent’s concert will be held at 128 Farm Road in Upstate New York, which is the property neighboring Lester’s Farm. The main difference will be the cabins, trailers and luxury tents available for rent overnight from the Trump Organization, all to benefit the wall. There are also two brand new bathing/changing facilities, one for men and one for women, and no — no crossies over — complete with private showers, changing rooms, lockers, a full gym, and an Olympic sized swimming pool.’
Performers are said to include:
‘Kid Rock, the Freedom Girls, Toby Kieth’s former drummer with Jon Voight on bass for none other than Hank Williams Jr., and to cap it all off, Dolly Parton will sing a tribute to lifelong Republican Burt Reynolds before Loretta Lynn takes the stage for her farewell performance to sing God Bless the USA.’
Also:
‘If you can’t make it, Ted Nugent has personally asked that you take what you would have donated and hand it to a homeless veteran.’

Hmmm..the Posse Comitatus law was updated just 2 months ago. Long PDF but page 37 tells you what you need to know
“The clearest statutory exceptions to the Posse Comitatus Act are found in the Insurrection Acts,
described above, in which Congress has delegated authority to the President to call forth the
military during an insurrection or civil disturbance. The modern version has changed little from
the original enactments,230 and is now found in Chapter 13 of Title 10, U.S. Code.231 The three
main authorities differ according to which constitutional provision they are meant to implement,
but the provisions have often been used together or without specifying which part of Chapter 13
of Title 10, U.S. Code, provided the authority.232 In any case where the President considers it
necessary to invoke the authority to use the militia or Armed Forces under these provisions, he is
required by 10 U.S.C. Section 254 to issue a proclamation immediately ordering “insurgents to
disperse and retire peaceably to their abodes within a limited time.”

Have a look at the “Packard Memo”, written by David Packard when he was working to clean up the DoD’s lax (to say the least) appropriations and spending habits.

Best guesses:
1) Anything that goes against Trunp, with the exception of anything that benefits Cuomo.
2) There is almost no doubt my mind that the megalomaniac Cuomo will seek higher elected or appointed position; most likely the presidency.
3) The voters who elected and continue to reelect Cuomo and his ilk support this type of agenda.
4) New York, being a “sanctuary state”, will have additional ultra liberal voters. At the same time, many more conservative and moderate New Yorkers (who are capable) have been, and will continue to relocate to other states. As more people flee New York, the already-too-high tax burden on those who remain will increase, with less good paying jobs available. This is unsustainable.
Beware, those of you who may find your new neighbor to claim to be a former “New York conservative”.
Many will likely not meet YOUR minimum standards as “conservative”.

churchmouse

Excellent insights, every one of them.
Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my question.
Your points all fit together: voters begetting more Cuomo re-elections, then leaving the state because policies are too harmful (crime, high taxes).
You might have seen yesterday or the day before that I posted that the state of Vermont will PAY $10k to people moving into the state.
I have been to Vermont a few times off and on since the 1980s, albeit not recently. Every time, the number of NY licence plates was staggering.

Wolfmoon (as usual) opened my eyes to the gun laws, such as NY’s ridiculous and incoherent “Safety Act” which had zero to do with safety, and – – as Wolf saw – – everything to do with driving out non-communists from the state.
The more bizarre and pointless the behavior, the more sensible people stay away.

‘ … many of us had families here for a long time …’ Yes, I have met many New Yorkers, from upstate and NYC. All were fine people. So, I cannot imagine anyone with a clean conscience or good ethics who would think that driving them out of state is a worthy goal. Wrong!

Problems at Tijuana migrant shelter. US activists join in unrest (excerpted):
https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1067710/mexico-migrant-caravan-wall-donald-trump-US-Tijuana
‘Officials told migrants, many fleeing poverty and violence in Honduras, they could move to a bigger shelter, run by the federal government, about seven miles from the border.
‘But dozens protested about the closure, saying they did not expect other sites to be any better.
‘Honduran migrant Reinerio Laine said: “Not one of the shelters in Tijuana has the conditions for them to keep us in.
‘“The authorities are tricking us.”
‘The migrants were joined by US activists, forcing federal and local police in riot uniforms to take formation at the entrance.
‘Others migrants walked to nearby shelters, while some waited for a bus to take them to the larger government-run facility.’

Amwick uncovered another fakery, Nancy Pelosi’s purported house.
From the Presidential thread:
‘amwick says:
January 6, 2019 at 7:18 am
‘Because truth matters…
‘It seems that much of what is happening is connected to the Southern Border Wall. VSGPotus has promised one, the Ds hate him, don’t care about citizens and are fighting tooth and nail. A fake picture has been circulated and I just wanted to give people here a heads up. I may have even seen it here…
..
‘This is not Nancy Pelosi’s CA housecomment image
‘Nancy Pelosi has a brick home in San Francisco… here ya go..comment image
‘I did some looking around verified it, because there were some protests there.. So I heard all kinds of pundits, and twitter people passing around a fake picture.. but, the way I see it, it makes their stories cheap. Normally I like Jessie Watters (most of the time) but he mentioned Nancy’s wall in a discussion.. and it ticked me off..
‘I don’t like Nancy Pelosi, I feel a visceral dislike of her for many reasons, but I dislike being lied to just as much. The problem with social media is that you can fool people pretty easily. Everything must be taken with a grain of salt, and this thing about Nancy Pelosi is a great example.’

churchmouse

But, wait, there’s more …
Someone responded to amwick with this tweet from a retired Marine who says the residence below is her house. Maybe she has two? This one is on Normandie Terrace in San Francisco. You can see the street sign in the video:
https://twitter.com/KernUnited/status/1081738537932795904
I say Normandie Terrace, because this is the house next door (then yellow, now white):
https://vimeo.com/73735538
Conclusion: we probably do not know for sure. I would put equal trust in amwick and the Marine.

since it was reported that Pelois’s net worth was 10 million dollars, I believe she may own several homes but which is her residence?

churchmouse

That is the question!

Gil

This was on yahoo, 10nyrs old but can did around for more:
Pelosi is the sole owner of Zinfandel Lane Vineyard in St. Helena and Skellenger Lane Vineyard in Napa. She also has shares in Ernest and Julio Gallo (which is one of the biggest operations in the valley). Although she’s not the majority owner. 
According to independent auditors, her wealth is comparable to Ted Kennedy or Dick Cheney. She’s worth *at least* several hundred million. This is why conservatives accuse her of hypocrisy when she does her sthick against millionaires. In truth, she’s far, far wealthier than most of them. 
However, I question the effectiveness of boycotting her wineries. Certainly, they’re a very small part of her financial empire. Most of the Pelosi fortune is invested in large corporations. Details are hard to come by. But she has known ties to many businesses, including liquor companies, the insurance industry, casinos, and real estate. So, everytime you go to Reno or Las Vegas, you’re probably giving her money any way. There’s no way to avoid it.

$10 Mill would hardly buy ONE house in SF, let alone two. Even miles away, houses are going for 2 and 3 Million Dollars, in places like Menlo Park, Palo Alto, and Los Altos. Even Newark (!) and Fremont sport multi-million-dollar homes which in a sane world wouldn’t command a tenth of that…
Interesting, too, is both homes appear to be brick, which is a no-no for the proletariat in an earthquake zone. Could be a facade (i.e. fake bricks, too) which could peel off the building in a quake. Also frowned-upon for the normies… Maybe Chi-Fi-Sci-Fi or her husband Blum twisted a few rules or arms to get a variance…

AOC’s tax plan (scary):
https://www.atr.org/ocasio-cortez-tax-plan-creates-827-top-income-tax-rate-new-yorkers
‘In an upcoming 60 Minutes interview, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) will call for federal income tax rates of up to 70 percent as part of a proposal to create vast new government spending programs.
‘The current top federal income tax rate is 37 percent, so the Ocasio-Cortez plan will nearly double the tax rate for the top bracket.
‘New York State has a top income tax rate of 8.82 percent while New York City has a top rate of 3.876 percent. So under this proposal, her constituents would pay a top combined income tax rate of 82.7 percent …
‘New Yorkers would not be the only ones suffering under the Ocasio-Cortez plan. California taxpayers would pay a top rate of 83.3 percent (70 percent plus the California rate of 13.30 percent).
‘In addition to this high income tax rate, taxpayers would remain impacted by other taxes including payroll taxes, taxes on capital gains income and dividends, and the death tax …’

Thank you very much for the tweet, which I have bookmarked.
These Dem Fems are a bit mixed up, aren’t they?
They say they are feminists. When I was growing up in the 1970s, Helen Reddy came out with ‘I am woman, hear me roar’, a single my v. conventional dad rather liked.
Feminists at the time, like ’em or not, were serious and cogent. They wore modest, yet stylish classic clothing, often dressy trousers.
Today, we have Dem Fems, who wear skin tight nightclub dresses (Sinema, as posted on this site) and AOC with her little girl voice, which Candace Owens rightly criticises.
So, if this is the face of feminism, I’ll take the old face (e.g. yesteryear’s Gloria Steinem) any day.
Disclosure: this is NOT an endorsement of feminism. That said, if women expect equality, they should act more like women in 1930s and 1940s films: strong and independent. (Oh, the irony.) Bring back Jean Harlow and Bette Davis.

Marine Corps now has a co-ed boot camp:

‘For the first time in its history, the Marine Corps will integrate female and male platoons during boot camp.
‘Unlike the other services, the Marine Corps has not fully integrated women and men during recruit training. Instead, at Recruit Depot Parris Island in South Carolina, the first three battalions are all-male, while the fourth battalion is all-female.
‘”On January 5, 2019, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion aboard Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, will start their training cycle with one female platoon and five male platoons,” the Marine Corps said in a statement Friday, first reported by ABC News.
‘While the change is not permanent, a Marine Corps spokesman told ABC News that the service “will certainly look at how the company performs in this model as we continually evaluate how we make Marines.”‘

“The Peter Principle”

A Fortiori (@AFortiori16)

As to the preparations for expanded traffic at Club Gitmo, I was doing a little light reading this morning, and went in search of the Hamdi case now Justice Kavanaugh cited in his discussion with Senator Graham about military tribunals. Here are some tidbits for those Treeplorables who don’t care to weed through the entire thing:
HAMDI V. RUMSFELD
542 U. S. 507 (2004)
The threshold question before us is whether the Executive has the authority to detain citizens who qualify as “enemy combatants.” …
The capture and detention of lawful combatants and the capture, detention, and trial of unlawful combatants, by “universal agreement and practice,” are “important incident[s] of war.” Ex parte Quirin, 317 U. S., at 28.
There is no bar to this Nation’s holding one of its own citizens as an enemy combatant.
Haupt, like the citizens in Smith and M’Connell, was accused of being a spy. The Court in Quirin found him “subject to trial and punishment by [a] military tribunal[ ]” for those acts, and held that his citizenship did not change this result. 317 U. S., at 31, 37–38.
We therefore hold that a citizen-detainee seeking to challenge his classification as an enemy combatant must receive notice of the factual basis for his classification, and a fair opportunity to rebut the Government’s factual assertions before a neutral decisionmaker…There remains the possibility that the standards we have articulated could be met by an appropriately authorized and properly constituted military tribunal. Indeed, it is notable that military regulations already provide for such process in related instances, dictating that tribunals be made available to determine the status of enemy detainees who assert prisoner-of-war status under the Geneva Convention. See Enemy Prisoners of War, Retained Personnel, Civilian Internees and Other Detainees, Army Regulation 190–8, §1–6 (1997).

Hi Wolfmoon (waving)!
I need some help, I think, from you and any others who can.
I have wondered for months now what I would do, when the “normies” started to see what was happening. How could I explain what has taken me two years of reading, learning, and researching to understand? Last night I got my first panicked phone call. And this is from a conservative Trump voter!
My dear friend is a staunch supporter of our President, and also a Fox news devotee. She is also a researcher, a genealogist, like me. I made a careless reference to military tribunals in an email, not thinking. She took it and ran with it. Now she is freaking out, in tears, etc. Because Fox had told her nothing, because she has found all sorts of what is possibly disinformation, and she does NOT have the background knowledge to understand Q. She is reading Q, but with little understanding. She is sure the military tribunals are underway (and they may be), but she is so uniformed I think she is worried that it may be a threat to President Trump.
I don’t know where to start. Is there ANY one document, 1/2 hour video, website, ANYTHING you would recommend? I don’t know how to boil this down to a small enough chunk to give her. The problem, as I see it, not just with her, but with anyone, is they are not going to spend 100 hours reading to understand. Out culture just doesn’t work that way anymore.
I think we should try to brainstorm a list of “redpill” sources, in order, to give to the “Fox News Trumpers” when they finally catch on. My start is:

A Fortiori (@AFortiori16)

One of the qanons typed out a transcript of the “listen closely” video AKA the “video that got Trump elected”, which contains PDJT’s description of our situation in 2016. Reading the words is powerful, so I am reproducing his/her work here:
Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you the American People.
The Washington establishment and the financial and media corporations that fund it exist for only one reason: to protect and enrich itself.
The establishment has trillions of dollars at stake in this election for those who control the levers of power in Washington and for the global special interests, they partner with these people that don’t have your good in mind.
Our campaign represents a true existential threat like they haven’t seen before.
This is not simply another four year election. This is a crossroads in the history of our civilization that will determine whether or not we the people reclaim control over our government.
The political establishment that is trying to stop us is the same group responsible for our disastrous trade deals, massive illegal immigration and economic and foreign policies that have bled our country dry.
The political establishment has brought about the destruction of our factories and our jobs as they flee to Mexico, China and other countries all around the world.
It’s a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our country of it’s wealth and put that money into the pockets of a handful of large corporations and political entities.
This is a struggle for the survival of our nation and this will be our last chance to save it.
This election will determine whether we are a free nation or whether we have only the illusion of democracy but are in fact controlled by a small handful of global special interests rigging the system, and our system is rigged.
This is reality. You know it, they know it, I know it and pretty much the whole world knows it.
The Clinton machine is at the center of this power structure. We’ve seen this first hand in the wikileaks documents in which Hillary Clinton meets in secret with international banks to plot the destruction of U.S. sovereignty in order to enrich these global financial powers, her special interest friends and her donors. Honestly, she should be locked up.
The most powerful weapon deployed by the Clintons is the corporate media; the press.
Let’s be clear on one thing: The corporate media in our country is no longer involved in journalism. They’re a political special interest no different than any lobbyist or other financial entity with a total political agenda and the agenda is not for you, it’s for themselves.
Anyone who challenges their control is deemed a sexist, a racist, a xenophobe. They will lie, lie, lie and then again they will do worse than that. They will do whatever is necessary.
The Clintons are criminals, remember that. This is well documented and the establishment that protects them has engaged in a massive cover-up of widespread criminal activity at the state department and the Clinton Foundation in order to keep the Clintons in power.
They knew they would throw every lie they could at me and my family and my loved ones. They knew they would stop at nothing to try to stop me. Nevertheless I take all of these slings and arrows gladly for you. I take them for our movement so that we can have our country back.
I knew this day would arrive. It’s only a question of when and I knew the American people would rise above it and vote for the future they deserve.
The only thing that can stop this corrupt machine is you. The only force strong enough to save our country is us. The only people brave enough to vote out this corrupt establishment is you the American people.
Our great civilization has come upon a moment of reckoning.
I didn’t need to do this folks, believe me. I built a great company and I had a wonderful life. I could have enjoyed the fruits and benefits of years of successful business deals and businesses for myself and my family instead of going through this absolute horror show of lies, deceptions, malicious attacks – who would have thought?
I’m doing it because this country has given me so much and I feel so strongly that it’s my turn to give back to the country that I love.
I’m doing this for the people and for the movement and we will take back this country for you and we will make America great again.

Marica

Thank you A!! reading it again–extremely powerful!

Emeraldstar

The best advice that I can think of is to let her know that it’s ok for her to TAKE HER TIME!
Perhaps explain that it’s taken a long time for all of us to arrive at the conclusions we have, and that there isn’t any need to hurry. In fact, there’s a need to assimilate things at ONES OWN PACE.
So, FIRST deal with the psychological issue – the panic, the fear. Comfort her with the knowledge that we, too, have felt the same at times … and it always gets better.
The Red-Pill also caused the Matrix character “Neo” to panic (“I WANT OUT! GET ME OUT!!!), but with a little time and support, he adjusted to the new knowledge.
Also, don’t tell her that “There’s no need to panic!” It backfires practically ALL the time, because it belittles their reaction, which actually IS valid.
The emotions come before the intellect … help the former, and helping the latter becomes MUCH easier.
IMO, of course. I hope this helps!

And on second thought, sometimes people who criticize PDJT here when he caves are suspected to be trolls, but actually, a FAR more effective tactic for Dem trolls would be to say “Don’t criticize him, have faith!” when he caves or appears to be caving on issues. He is a very VAIN individual and PUBLIC criticism is THE tool to use to keep him on path.

Why was she ‘selected’?
Who appointed her?
Remember [her] history.
Ref: 230-page book called Sex Bias in the U.S. Code, published in 1977 by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.
Highlights:
>Called for the sex-integration of prisons and reformatories so that conditions of imprisonment, security and housing could be equal. She explained, “If the grand design of such institutions is to prepare inmates for return to the community as persons equipped to benefit from and contribute to civil society, then perpetuation of single-sex institutions should be rejected.” (Page 101)
>Called for the sex-integration of Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts because they “perpetuate stereotyped sex roles.” (Page 145)
>Insisted on sex-integrating “college fraternity and sorority chapters” and replacing them with “college social societies.” (Page 169)
>Cast constitutional doubt on the legality of “Mother’s Day and Father’s Day as separate holidays.” (Page 146)
>Called for reducing the age of consent for sexual acts to people who are “less than 12 years old.” (Page 102)
>Asserted that laws against “bigamists, persons cohabiting with more than one woman, and women cohabiting with a bigamist” are unconstitutional. (Page 195)
>Objected to laws against prostitution because “prostitution, as a consensual act between adults, is arguably within the zone of privacy protected by recent constitutional decisions.” (Page 97)
>Ginsburg wrote that the Mann Act (which punishes those who engage in interstate sex traffic of women and girls) is “offensive.” Such acts should be considered “within the zone of privacy.” (Page 98)
>Demanded that we “firmly reject draft or combat exemption for women,” stating “women must be subject to the draft if men are.” But, she added, “the need for affirmative action and for transition measures is particularly strong in the uniformed services.” (Page 218)
>An indefatigable censor, Ginsburg listed hundreds of “sexist” words that must be eliminated from all statutes. Among words she found offensive were: man, woman, manmade, mankind, husband, wife, mother, father, sister, brother, son, daughter, serviceman, longshoreman, postmaster, watchman, seamanship, and “to man” (a vessel). (Pages 15-16)
>Wanted he, she, him, her, his, and hers to be dropped down the memory hole. They must be replaced by he/she, her/him, and hers/his, and federal statutes must use the bad grammar of “plural constructions to avoid third person singular pronouns.” (Page 52-53)
>Condemned the Supreme Court’s ruling in Harris v. McRae and claimed that taxpayer-funded abortions should be a constitutional right.

Not sure where she is ultimately headed but my niece (AF fuels specialist) is at this base in Qatar right now “for a few days.” Her update said “almost made it all the way.” But she is enjoying her 3 drinks per night of Merlot!

i just want to post this here again. i made this post friday night but it was lost in all the craziness… long story short this shows where the democrats are ALREADY goingg to shore up their voting illegalities nd make them fully legall in the future. very interesting and this is the stuff they slip into “legislation” and while their low IQ supporters are hailing this bill so they can get trumps taxes, please be aware of the rest…
************************************************
just want to post this so someone can confirm what i am seeing here… i would do more but i have to run out for a bit…
HR1 bill from house (trump tax bill)
read this 4ch post with someone who is breaking it down from an advanced copy as the house website is not “updated” yet with bill text… but seriously read just the first post if you do anything. this should sufficiently blow your mind. and before anyone says oh it will never pass! thats not the point – the point is this is introduced into congress and co sponsored by pelosi – so the intent in this bill shows what they are willing to do and it has nothing to do with trumps taxes:
https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/198730949/
(btw this is from the archive mirror site i usually check out 4ch with since i dont need the hassle of the actual site… its the same boards though but usually just one i take time to peruse anymore)
also a couple refugee support bills resurrected from the past too one by that ellison guy from MN…

Upstream collection can be very revealing.

still zero’s DoJ/FBI ???

Nor'easter

Hard to say.
If “the plan” includes using the enemys weapons and tactics against them, which I believe it does, that means that FISA may be being used to surveill deep state bad actors and their accomplices, including the media.
Ms. Attkisson, and others, including us, may have to wait until the right time for information to be revealed.

I think she’s a communications “hub” for the cabal. Remember, their satellite comms capability was removed, so they’ve had to adapt. They know that our guys are listening!
The first idea that the anons had is that this message is directed at Obozo. Perhaps he (or someone) is getting cold feet? Screwing up / acting off-script?

All the bigs coming in…Shelia Jackson Lee, Shaun King….yep, mama said he killed her girl, hate crime..got big donations…76k plus NFL & NBA contributing………………..then a young black dude confesses, gun found.
Come to find out..Mama FB pals with the shooter
Mama got some crime under her belt
word on street..she forgot to pay for something from shooter
Ironic too that the vision of another fake race incident spurred King to get the reward for info up to 100k …somebody tipped and won the ghetto lottery

“then a young black dude confesses, gun found.”
Even his name was Black, Eric Black. Truth is funner than fiction.
