“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J. Robert Oppenheimer
Until I come up with my own demands, before I give one NICKEL to the party that allowed this TRAVESTY of the BIDEN INSTALLATION – this TREASONOUS betrayal of the American People on January Sixth – covered up by orchestrated violence through a CONSPIRACY between Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi, radical leftists and the FBI – these demands will do.
So I just got my “The RNC Needs Your Help” email and of course told them Hell No, you didn’t help the President why should I help you and then provided them with a list of demands and grievances.
Purge your party of the RINOs. If they voted to impeach the president get rid of them. If they did not vote for Section 230 to stop the muzzling of conservative voices, get rid of them. If they did not vote for the COVID money but instead allowed Biden to use that money to bait voters in G.A. get rid of them. If they did not stand up and fight against the fraudulent election, they are useless, get rid of them. If they mealy mouthed our President and didn’t fight for his objectives, get rid of them.
More things that must be done. The evidence of voter fraud is overwhelming. Stand back up and fight against this illegitimate president and never stop. He does not deserve to be there. Put the person who does, back. Find a way. The evidence against Biden on Burisma and China bribe taking is overwhelming. Go after him any way you can and get him the hell out of office. The evidence of Russian Collusion was bogus and there’s been more than enough evidence to warrant convictions. Make it happen. The betrayals and failures of the DOJ, FBI, CIA and other departments are appalling, get it fixed. Moving forward on elections without serious reform is a non starter. Fix it in state or further talks are meaningless because elections in too many stats are currently meaningless. Allowing Big Tech and Big Media to run ramrod over your constituents is despicable. Enact your own laws in state and fight.
The calls to go after MAGA and Qanon people is pure bull, one sees the errors and wants justice and the other is a non violent community that does independent research and analysis then comes to their own conclusions. Deep State wants them removed because of the attention that is drawn onto them from these free thinkers. To think differently means you don’t know your base or complicit in its destruction. Stand up and denounce it. These movements are the cumulative results of your collective cronyism over decades of greed and graft. Fix the greed and graft and get your houses in order.
You just allowed the most tyrannical party this nation has ever known the levers of power. Levers you have already witnessed misused, whether from IRS Gate, to Iran Gate or Russia Gate or this past two election cycles and all in between. A party willing to misuse in any way it can, the constitution to achieve their one world objectives and one that is sponsored by the World Economic Forum and the CCP in order to reestablish the same kind of aristocracies we escaped from when we quit those teaming shores centuries ago. Knock it off, we’ve had our taste of freedom and we are not going back. Quit with the falling in with these useless accords that suck our wealth out of the nation and into the hands of the few under the undeserving guise of helping the many. We know how it works, we are awake. Wake up too.
This list of demands and grievances is hardly inclusive, but if you want support from the people you better start addressing all of it.
Get your houses in order, then find a way to grab the one person with enough foresight to fix this mess and drag him back to WA where he deserves to be and to get it done.
In the meantime I expect heavy donations from the RNC and individual donations from our political class to the Trump Library whenever such shall be announced.
Well said, patriot! Well said!
Please feel free to attach YOUR lists of demands, fellow patriots!
The title of this work, by Trump admirer Jon McNaughton, is Democrats Playing Poker. The painting is based on a series of works by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge, who is more commonly known as C.M. Coolidge, with the title of that series being Dogs Playing Poker.
There are other artists who painted similar pictures of dogs engaged in common proletarian pursuits, and the entire genre is covered at a site known as DogsPlayingPoker.org.
Many people think that Dogs Playing Poker is a single painting – and that painting is generally this one – one of the most iconic of the series, which is actually named A Friend In Need.
This painting, featuring one cheating dog passing a card to another, is definitely the one that McNaughton was thinking of when he did Democrats Playing Poker.
Another recognizable painting from the original series is this one – Poker Sympathy.
Another very famous painting in the series is entitled His Station And Four Aces.
If you “google” or otherwise image-search on “dogs playing poker”, you will find all sorts of mods, memes, morphs, and variations on the theme, as well as amateur versions and unofficial “retellings” from aspiring artists.
“Dogs Playing Poker” is – literally – one of the first and best image memes in American history.
When you’ve made The Simpsons, you’re history!
There is even a “B thriller” named 4 Dogs Playing Poker.
I you want to learn more about the history of Dogs Playing Poker, go here:
Now – what does all this have to do with THE MOMENT?
Harry Lime heard a rumor – one of those things that really is “too good to be true” – that Melania Trump tweeted the Democrats Playing Poker image today.

A friend of mine just reminded me of this picture…
He said Melania posted this again after President Trumps “farewell” speech.
Dogs…
Look at the clock…what time is the swearing in ceremony?
Didn’t he mention “luck” in his speech…what is poker a game of?
I don’t do the tweet…so I can’t confirm if Melania actually did post this today.

Now, there appeared to be no evidence that this was tweeted, although it could have been (and again, this can be verified or disproved, up to a point) tweeted and deleted through EITHER the old FLOTUS account, or the new MELANIATRUMP account, both on Twitter. The FLOTUS account was surely monitored intensely – the other – who knows?
In the end – THAT PART did not matter to me.
Here’s why.
The meme itself is perfect.
Trump is on the wall, watching it all. It’s almost midnight, the Democrats are cheating, Trump may or may not see all of it, but WE SEE IT, too. The dogs, who SHOULD be at the table, are not. That is us, too. Democrats stealing even our place at the table.
Up on the other wall, the famous painting of George Washington crossing the Delaware on Christmas NIGHT / Boxing Day morning (thanks, Steve!) to WIN THE WAR.
NOW – all that is good, but it gets better.
My story – how I got involved in MY END of all this mess, started when half of me was an egg cell traveling with a teenage girl in Eastern Europe. It only got worse from there, once she got back to America, and met a young egghead who helped turn other eggheads’ theories of computing into reality – that man being the other half of me. But I really had no idea how bad things were, until
DOGS PLAYING POKER showed up in my life.
Now I’m not exactly sure which picture it was, and I think the DIVE BAR it was in, may have had TWO of them, but I’m pretty sure that
…..was the painting on the wall when I told somebody maybe an EIGHTH of the story of the multi-million dollar conspiracy I had just been EJECTED FROM – seemingly safely – but in reality mere months before people would try to close that loose end. At the time, I didn’t realize that the BIGGER conspiracy – the one I was being set up from, using a smaller conspiracy – was worth TRILLIONS of dollars – unheard of, at the time – and eventually worth QUADRILLIONS in America’s future.
And all that is before you even think about GLOBAL and PLANETARY concerns.
So – you see – I’ve been on a LONG RIDE with the bullshit we are now experiencing. I don’t think I’d trade it for anything, either, because I ended up HERE, along with a few other patriots I’m proud to know by their words, but not upon sight.
If you look at the Coolidge painting, Poker Sympathy, and read along with the description HERE, you can understand the McNaughton painting, Democrats Playing Poker, even better.
The scene looks like it takes place in the corner of a questionable restaurant or club, with pictures of famous dogs that have visited that location lining the walls. In this booth, seven dogs sit across the table facing a bulldog that probably is not part of the regular crowd. During the last round of poker, the pot has grown quite large. The bulldog, thinking he could best the boss, has bet generously, confident in the power of his four aces. When the cards hit the table though, the other dog actually has a straight flush, the only hand able to beat his. The winning dog barks loudly across the table at his vanquished opponent, knocking him off his chair, spilling his drink, and causing him to drop his cards and cigar. The rest of the posse seems to enjoy watching the bulldog’s misery.
Do I think we may be there? Do I think that somebody who thought their stolen election was all wrapped up with four aces, may have gotten ROYALLY FLUSHED?
All I know is this.
I went out tonight and stocked up on not only everything I need for a few days in front of the television and computer – I prepared for a PARTY. The very first thing I saw in the grocery store was a display of non-alcoholic bubbly – my favorite brand, too, on special.
Talk about a sign!
I grabbed two bottles, raised them up to the sky a V, and said “YES!” Then I went on and stocked up like the SUPER BOWL had come to my neighborhood.
No matter what happens, I’m going to celebrate. I hope you will, too.
I’m either going to be an anonymous Trump patriot, celebrating THE END of my own long and very personal battle against corruption, or I’m going to be one of the most famous revolutionaries in history, before this is over.
What will happen tomorrow? What course will our country be on? God knows. Lean on Him!
We are staring at the possibility of a Communist administration who has already declared retribution against Trump followers. Should we, as Christians be fearful? No. Some proposed actions by the Leftists are awful to contemplate, but we must always look to God who holds our eternal destiny in His hands.
“And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” – Matthew 10:28
Our best hope on earth for staving off a corrupt and evil Communist administration and their declared retribution is President Trump. Should we, as Christians put our trust in him? No. Our trust must always be in God, although God may indeed use President Trump as the main means to wrest control from the fraudulent Leftists. And if President Trump is successful, it was only made possible through God’s power . . . and our thanks and praise should go to God first, always.
“Do not trust in princes, in mortal man, in whom there is no salvation.” – Psalm 146:3 “It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes.” – Psalm 118:9 “Thus says the Lord, “Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind and makes flesh his strength, and whose heart turns away from the Lord.” – Jeremiah 17:5
So, what are we to do?
1. “So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today’s trouble is enough for today.” – Matthew 6:34
What happens today stays with today. There is no need to be anxious for the future because God will only bring the troubles one day at a time.
2. “The sufferings of the present are as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed in us.” – Romans 8:18
Life is a lot like a roller coaster; there are ups and downs and twists we did not expect, but because of the adventure we have though life, we will live with God for all eternity. The problems are only temporary, they help us grow into who we are and who we will become.
3. “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you.” – Isaiah 43:2
If God is putting us though it, He will not lead us alone. His reasoning for putting us though a tough time is because it is to make us stronger, smarter and closer to Him.
4. “This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” – Psalm 118:24
Thanks to God, we wake up each morning. We must give him thanks for all that he does. Without him, there would not be this day. Glory be to God.
5. “I know that there is nothing better for them than to be happy and enjoy themselves as long as they live.” – Ecclesiastes 3:12
God has put us on this earth for a reason and purpose. He wants us to be joyful and be thankful for what we have. He also knows that once we are in the kingdom of Heaven with him, all we will know is happiness.
6. “When I am afraid. I put my trust in you.” – Psalm 56:3
As some people say, “let go and let God,” which is giving your worries and burdens to Him. He will deal with them and keep us safe.
7. “He replied, ‘What is impossible for mortals is possible for God.'” – Luke 18:27
There are so many things on earth that seem impossible for us to comprehend or do, but with God everything and anything is possible. He is all knowing and all powerful, nothing can stop Him.
8. “Jesus answered, ‘You do not know now what I am doing, but later you will understand.'” – John 13:7
Life is so crazy sometimes and it’s hard to understand why things happen. Everything happens for a reason. It may not make sense now or in twenty minutes. One day, He will come full circle and shine light onto His perfect plan that He has just for us.
9. “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight.” – Proverbs 3:5
He knows us better than we know ourselves. That is because He created us with our own special looks, unique talents and traits. When you give Him your trust, He will give you His guidance.
10. “…for we walk by faith, not by sight.” – 2 Corinthians 5:7
God knows where we have been and where we are going. It is all in His divine plan. By walking in faith, we are giving all of our doubts about life to Him. In return, He is giving us the support of knowing that He is there with us.
11. “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” – John 10:11
God gave His only Son to us, only for Him to die on the cross for our sins. We are God’s sheep, and He is our shepherd. He would do anything and everything for us, and He does.
Linda shared this yesterday from Lin Wood’s GAB feed. It’s too good not to share even if I really don’t get poetry, much to a number of nuns’ dismay. This one, though, is in cuplets that even I get. (Edited for stanza clarity.)
Twas the weekend before covfefe, and all thru the land, The lefties were trembling at the cards in Trump’s hand. The patriots were nestled, all snug in their beds, While visions of perp walks danced in their heads.
The laptops recovered in a raid days ago, Shed new light on the crimes of our treasonous foe. When up on the web there arose such a clatter, Big tech blocking accounts like free speech didn’t matter.
Impeachment was threatened, amendment 25, “The Trump administration must not survive!” They screamed from the rooftops, on every news show. “This bad bad bad orange man has just got to go!”
But Donald J Trump had a card up his sleeve, a card so glorious no one could believe. You see, he had caught them. He set a big trap. He knew they would try this election fraud crap.
He watched them all do it, all in real time. He was sure that Mike Pence would certify their crime. His intel had told him they’d planned a false flag, To make sure Trump’s destruction was all in the bag.
The Dems told Antifa “Show up in disguise.” “Wear your MAGA hats backwards so no one will get wise.” “When we start the debate, you all storm inside. Don’t worry, the police will open doors wide.”
“We will blame all your damage on Trump and his fans, So never again will Trump thwart all our plans.” Trump knew Dems would do this, he sent special ops, They dressed like Antifa and grabbed the laptops.
Upon them was evidence of aggregious crimes. The Deep State had done this crap so many times. Straight to the military the evidence went. Charges of treason were now imminent.
No screaming or crying would stop what was to come. Resignation and prison, and Gitmo for some. Military tribunals will convict all these traitors. Who stole an election because they were haters.
When the trials are done and the votes are done right. Crimes done in the darkness have come to the light… Trump will be sworn in to finish his eight. And we will continue to make America great.
Call me a glutton for punishment, but there is hope in all of this. Just hang on. President Trump and his people would not have come this far to just let it all go in a stolen election.
Are we there yet?

Normally, in this space, a reading from the day’s Mass is featured. Today, the readings simply do not fit our situation. However, a passage from Ecclesiasticus, a book commonly called Sirach for it’s author, does somewhat fit. This book is part of the Greek or Helenistic Canon of the Old Testament that was removed from the Septuagint in the 300 years or so following Christ’s time on Earth, and is one of the seven books not in protestant bibles.
Ecclesiasticus, Chapter 10
A wise judge shall judge his people, and the government of a prudent man shall be steady. [2] As the judge of the people is himself, so also are his ministers: and what manner of man the ruler of a city is, such also are they that dwell therein. [3] An unwise king shall be the ruin of his people: and cities shall be inhabited through the prudence of the rulers. [4] The power of the earth is in the hand of God, and in his time he will raise up a profitable ruler over it. [5] The prosperity of man is in the hand of God, and upon the person of the scribe he shall lay his honour.
[6] Remember not any injury done thee by thy neighbour, and do thou nothing by deeds of injury. [7] Pride is hateful before God and men: and all iniquity of nations is execrable. [8] A kingdom is translated from one people to another, because of injustices, and wrongs, and injuries, and divers deceits. [9] But nothing is more wicked than the covetous man. Why is earth and ashes proud? [10] There is not a more wicked thing than to love money: for such a one setteth even his own soul to sale: because while he liveth he hath cast away his bowels.
[11] All power is of short life. A long sickness is troublesome to the physician. [12] The physician cutteth off a short sickness: so also a king is today, and tomorrow he shall die. [13] For when a man shall die, he shall inherit serpents, and beasts, and worms. [14] The beginning of the pride of man, is to fall off from God: [15] Because his heart is departed from him that made him: for pride is the beginning of all sin: he that holdeth it, shall be filled with maledictions, and it shall ruin him in the end.
[16] Therefore hath the Lord disgraced the assemblies of the wicked, and hath utterly destroyed them. [17] God hath overturned the thrones of proud princes, and hath set up the meek in their stead. [18] God hath made the roots of proud nations to wither, and hath planted the humble of these nations. [19] The Lord hath overthrown the lands of the Gentiles, and hath destroyed them even to the foundation. [20] He hath made some of them to wither away, and hath destroyed them, and hath made the memory of them to cease from the earth.
[21] God hath abolished the memory of the proud, and hath preserved the memory of them that are humble in mind. [22] Pride was not made for men: nor wrath for the race of women. [23] That seed of men shall be honoured, which feareth God: but that seed shall be dishonoured, which transgresseth the commandments of the Lord. [24] In the midst of brethren their chief is honourable: so shall they that fear the Lord, be in his eyes. [25] The fear of God is the glory of the rich, and of the honourable, and of the poor:
[26] Despise not a just man that is poor, and do not magnify a sinful man that is rich. [27] The great man, and the judge, and the mighty is in honour: and there is none greater than he that feareth God. [28] They that are free shall serve a servant that is wise: and a man that is prudent and well instructed will not murmur when he is reproved; and he that is ignorant, shall not be honoured. [29] Extol not thyself in doing thy work, and linger not in the time of distress: [30] Better is he that laboureth, and aboundeth in all things, than he that boasteth himself and wanteth bread.
[31] My son, keep thy soul in meekness, and give it honour according to its desert. [32] Who will justify him that sinneth against his own soul? and who will honour him that dishonoureth his own soul? [33] The poor man is glorified by his discipline and fear: and there is a man that is honoured for his wealth. [34] But he that is glorified in poverty, how much more in wealth? and he that is glorified in wealth, let him fear poverty.
As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome.
