The Morning Rant
“Trump’s last Attorney General actually also turns out to be Joe Biden’s first Attorney General,” Navarro railed. “Because here is what was happening. We had over 30 executive orders queued after election day, ready to go. But we kept running into all of these roadblocks and roadblocks and hurdles. It turns out that Bill Barr’s office of legal counsel was fast-tracking all of these Biden EOs.”Not surprisingly, Navarro also said that Barr "should have been fired...by the last year of [Trump's] administration." As I said last time, I had high hopes for Barr, I really wanted him to succeed, and I grew tired of the carping skepticism I was hearing from some of you on this blog. I couldn't wait to do an "in your face" victory dance when Durham brought in a bunch of indictments, as I knew he was surely going to do. Any day now. But spring turned into summer with nothing happening and summer dragged on into autumn, and still nothing, and then we got into election season and that's when I realized I was probably going to end up eating crow. And then, after the election was over and the tidal wave of fraud reports started to roll in, I thought, oh, good, somebody at the DOJ is going to have to look into this, since it was a federal election and all, so I eagerly awaited an investigation... that never came. So where was Barr during the post-election aftermath? What was he doing, hiding under his desk? Imagine, if you will, something like this happening in an Obama election. It would be unthinkable that Eric Holder would not be all over this 24/7 and he would be personally leading a multi- federal agency investigation into all of the reported voting irregularities and he would leave no stone unturned. In fact, his investigation would probably be even bigger than the one the Biden administration has initiated against the 1/6 LARPers who "stormed" the Capitol and frightened AOC and the other members of Congress who weren't actually there at the time. Now, I realize that when Holder described himself as "Obama's wing man", that was an indication that he was running the DOJ on a corrupt basis, since there has to be a certain amount of impartiality in the administration of justice. And if Holder thinks the role of the AG is merely to do the president's bidding, whatever it is, as his quote implies, he's no different from a hired goon. And if Barr would ever have described himself as "Trump's wing man", MSM commentators would not have been shy about pointing this out, In fact, there would've been hair-on-fire coverage about this for days. But since Holder was Obama's AG, it was perfectly OK. There was a perfectly legitimate basis for the DOJ to initiate an investigation. The fact that multiple states suddenly stopped counting ballots at roughly the same time for several hours, during which interval mysterious trucks full of Biden ballots showed up (according to sworn testimony from hundreds of eyewitnesses) suggests the possibility that some sort of coordinated interstate plan was being put into action to tip the election to the Democrats. Now, perhaps that's not true, but there's enough there to indicate that it's at least worth looking into. But AG Barr and the entire DOJ just sort of looked the other way. So this is yet another case of Trump appointing the wrong man for the job and then continuing to have faith in him long after it's obvious to everyone who is paying attention that the guy's performance level is substandard. I can't imagine Trump not scraping off these useless barnacles when he was working in the private sector. Of course, back then, it was his bottom line that was on the line, but not so much now, I guess. I didn't think it was possible for Barr to be worse than Jeff Sessions, but it looks like I was wrong about that, too.
AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List Please submit any prayer requests to “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo atsign hotmail dot com.
For submission guidelines and other relevant info, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the prayer list. You can contact her at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. If you see a prayer request posted in a thread comment, feel free to copy and paste it and e-mail it to Annie's Stew. She tries to keep up with the requests in the threads, but she's not here all of the time, so she may not see it unless you e-mail it to her. Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after five weeks or so unless we receive an update. Please remember the Prayer of St. Francis:
Prayer Requests: 12/2 – Sgt. Mom is asking for prayers for her daughter and unborn grandson, Jamie. The Daughter Unit is 40, this is her first pregnancy, and because of her age, this is considered a high-risk pregnancy, with an elevated chance of Downs’ Syndrome for Jamie. They had an ultrasound this week and an amniocentesis is scheduled for the week of Christmas. The Daughter Unit will carry on with the pregnancy regardless – but prayers for a healthy, normal child are humbly requested.
1/6 Update – Sgt. Mom sends her gratitude for the prayers, and they found out yesterday that her unborn grandson is healthy and developing normally. No spina bifida, and no trisomy disorders were found! 12/9 – Roxxee asks for prayers for her daughter, who has developed a severe addiction to prescription Adderall, and is now in deep psychosis. She has cut herself off from family and friends and will not respond to any of them. Praying for a Christmas miracle that she wakes up from her psychosis and gets help.
1/4 Update – Roxxee reports: God works in mysterious ways. On the Tuesday before Christmas, her daughter’s mental health tragically deteriorated. However, this event enabled them to get her in a treatment facility where she is finally getting the intensive help she needs. Roxxee asks for continued prayers that the doctors help her and she is able to make a full recovery. 12/12 – Katya, the designated driver sends an update that she was in the ER with shortness of breath last weekend, and has found she has a blood clot in her lung now. The blood thinner she was on for the clot in her leg wasn’t doing the job, so she is giving herself injections twice a day of enoxaparin sodium. She feels good, mostly. She sends her thanks for prayers and support through her chemo treatments.
12/29 Update: Last week was her last chemo treatment. She still has 4 infusion treatments of Keytruda, which is the immunotherapy drug that is still in clinical trials in the US. She has an appointment on Wednesday with the surgeon to scheduler her mastectomy. She sends thanks for continued prayers and support.
1/19 Update – Katya’s surgery was pushed back to the 28th because she has pneumonia.
2/8 Update – Katya’s pneumonia is getting better, and she has been cleared for surgery. On Thursday, she will have a bilateral mastectomy. Prayers for recovery and continued cancer treatment are requested. In a couple of weeks she will begin radiation therapy.
12/22 – Homer’s Donuts asks for prayers for work. He was laid off on 12/22 with only a few days of notice, and it feels horrible not knowing when the next paycheck is going to come.
1/11 Update – Homer’s Donuts has an interview on 1/13 that is well suited to his career experience. Please pray for that to work out well! 1/6 – NaughtyPine has several requests: For the family and friends of Art, who they lost suddenly in late November. The tears come and he’s missed terribly. For the family of Russ, especially his children who are currently estranged from each other. Family healing would make it easier on everyone. For Michele, who lost her ailing father on New Year’s Day. Her “baby” brother died suddenly last March. She is now the sole survivor of her immediate family. 1/8 – Captain Whitebread requests the means to get an eye exam and some new glasses. His current glasses are 4 years old, and he can see distances fine, but his up-close work is blurry. Since he works around computer screens all day, that’s a big problem. His side jobs have all shut down due to Covid, so he’s barely getting the bills paid now; there is nothing to spare.
2/3 Update – Captain Whitebread sends his thanks to the Horde who have prayed for him and who have contributed. He has received contributions to cover the cost of the exam and new glasses. 1/18 – Pollywog the ‘Ette requests prayers for “Thing From Snowy Mountain”. His sister just passed away from Covid caught due to a suppressed immune system from chemo. His mom is in her 80s and also caught it, leading to hospitalization and was put on a ventilator (although she has been allowed to remain conscious). He needs comfort, physical endurance/strength, and positive human interaction. Prayers for provision and a better job would also be helpful. 1/20 – Washington Nearsider requests prayers for his mental and financial stability as he leaves his marital home after several years of debating the issue back and forth. Nearly all of the familial debt is in his name, and he is moving into a one-bedroom apartment with only a mattress and computer. Prayers for his wife that she finds peace and grace, and for his two children (ages six and four) that they come through this difficult time with resiliency, maintaining their joy, and exuberance for life. 2/1 – Hrothgar requests prayers for an upcoming, non-optional, non-trivial surgery on Thursday (2/4/2021), followed by several days in the hospital for follow-up. His original cancer diagnosis (from back in November) remains confirmed, but the follow-up biopsy shows clear margins as of today, for which he is thanking God. He’d also like a prayer for DaughterH as she strives to keep everything on an even keel for him! 2/1 – Tonypete asks for prayers for his buddies Jenny and John, who were moved to hospice care this week. Pray for a peaceful and easy transition to their final rewards. Jenny has been suffering for years from cancer and John found out 6 weeks ago he had giloblastoma. He declined remarkably quickly.
2/8 Update – Jenny passed away on 2/2, and John passed away on 2/6. Both will be sadly missed. 2/3 – Juddgement sends an update. Several months back, he had requested prayers for his brother-in-law, who was undergoing hospitalization for severe depression. There have been issues: medication side effects, misdiagnosis by medical staff, a new rehab facility, new medical caregivers. But with a lot of time, care, and work, his brother-in-law is almost a normal functioning adult. Juddgement is adding on to his house now, to provide a suite so his brother-in-law can maintain a semblance of independence, while they can continue to monitor his recovery. Juddgement sends thanks for your prayers. 2/8 – Weak Geek requests prayers for his father and sister following the death Feb. 6 of his wife and our mother. (It was no shock; she’d been declining for years.) Dad will have to cope with being alone after 60 years of marriage. Sister is highly competent, but will need strength to handle future family emergencies, since Weak Geek lives in another state. 2/9 – Rosasharn requests prayers. Her husband has scarring in his lungs (after getting Covid) and can’t recover. They don’t know how long he has, or if they will be able to see him again. Please pray for her to have the strength to get through this, and when his time comes, that it be peaceful and he is welcomed into Jesus’ arms.
For Healing: 12/21 – Toad-O requests prayers for his mother, who has just tested positive for covid-19. She is 88 years old and in a nursing home.
1/18 Update – Toad-O reports that his mother was released from quarantine and is back in her old room. She never did have any Covid symptoms. Prayers answered. 1/10 – Annie’s Stew requests prayers for healing and protection for a sweet young family, expecting their first baby. The mom-to-be has many health issues, and now the dad-to-be just found out that he has lymphoma. 1/13 - Coelacanth asks for prayers for a friend’s son who was snowboarding and had an accident. He was undergoing spinal surgery last night, and it is feared he may never walk again. His name is Gavin. 2/3 – Sassy requests prayers. She was diagnosed with breast cancer and will undergo a double mastectomy on 2/8. Prayers for strength, mental, physical, and spiritual recovery.

I misjudged Barr. I thought he was dishwater-dull company man who'd return a couple of desultory, symbolic indictments. I was wrong. I overestimated him considerably. Just another common criminal in the government's employ. As they all are. Should've known better.

I remember thinking Barr was in charge of the federal prison system when Epstein didn't kill himself; there's no way that happened and was covered up unless Barr was personally in on it and worked to cover it all up himself.
And Durham is laughing all the way to his million dollar Bank of America bonus account.

Best thing for America's future would probably be to dissolve the FedGov via an Article V process and replace it with a mutual defense pact and free trade zone, neither of which should be granted any power of governance.
Confederation failed.
Federalism failed (though it had a good run).
A unitary state is not desirable.

Even if that were the case, laughable as it is, he's still required by law and duty to go after the fraud and seek justice no matter how much there was.
But he did not, because he did not wish to. To go after any fraud begins to unravel the entire sweater

I think it's three-fold:
1. A level of personal loyalty that isn't reasonable in light of how they acted.
2. Being boxed in by the commentariat constantly pushing the "chaos" narrative, which could have international implications
3. No one to replace them with. To your final point (truncated out) about always hiring swamp creatures, this is true but every time he tried to get his guy in, the appointment was blocked or slow-walked by the Senate.

But mainly the former, as I don't expect anyone on the Right to stand up for me. They will just mumble some cuckishness about how my skirt was too short, I had it coming.
So I don't blame Barr for hiding under his desk. The Left just stole the last free election and we did NOTHING, because we were more terrified of being labeled violent extremists than defending Liberty.
If we won't stand up against that, how could Barr expect us to stand up for him?

No he isn't. I remember reading his background. Some of you even remarked about how heroic it was, how he only came out of retirement because he couldn't stand by and let the corruption fester.
You don't suddenly change character like that. Sure, it's easy to simply proclaim that he was in on it from the start, that they only reason he failed is because he is as corrupt as them. That's lazy thinking.
I think it's because he accurately gauged the risks to himself and his family against what pussies the Right is.

Barr was the guy that ascended to his current level by defending an FBI sniper who killed a housewife. Might have been at Waco as well - I've found conflicting evidence on that.
I found a couple things interesting. How many people wanted to believe Barr was something other than what he was - because of the so called infallibility of Trump. And how easily those people dismissed something so obvious as Barr's history with Lon Horiuchi.
Also - how badly so many wanted to believe that the FBI had been corrupted by Obama. As if the FBI had ever been anything different. It would do a ton of people on the right a mountain of good to take Reagan's words to heart - the problem is that so many know so much that just isn't so.

Could be accomplished via an Article V amemdment. The problem would be that the rot from the state parties would flow right back up to the national level.
I think the next Great Republic should try a sortition selection method for its officers. If you are qualified, you're entered into a lottery for the position. If selected, a jury (selected like any other) determines if you are still mentally and physically fit, then you serve. No campaigns, parties, or donations.
Those officers then propose laws to address any problems that come up, and the public votes on them.

One minor irritant to me is how everyone insists on personalizing this kind of thing. "If ONLY Trump had picked someone besides Bill Barr," etc. Admittedly, I thought Barr could not possibly be that bad, mostly out of some vestigial respect for electoral politics and the legal system in general. No one with loyalty and competence would pass muster with the corrupt DOJ and the Senate traitors. No one incompetent could actually help Trump, as his current lawyers are demonstrating.

He also has an endearing quality -- he accepts people at face value and
gives them the benefit of the doubt.
Really ? He strikes me as somebody that has to control the room - because when the room isn't under his control, he gets exposed. Put him in any equal contest - cards, chess, puzzles, whatever - and I imagine he's above average but not exceptional. Maybe one standard deviation to the right. Certainly not two. My experience has been that most CEOs fall into that category. They cultivate a reputation of excellence that they can rarely back up.
You don't usually achieve your way to the top. You sell your way to the top. It's not a meritocracy.

Also - how badly so many wanted to believe that the FBI had been corrupted by Obama. As if the FBI had ever been anything different. It would do a ton of people on the right a mountain of good to take Reagan's words to heart - the problem is that so many know so much that just isn't so.

No, I don't he knew we were such cowards when he took the job. If I had told you 6 months ago that the Left would brazenly commit voter fraud to steal the election from Trump, and that we would DO NOTHING to stop them from installing Biden, would you have believed me?
Barr can't be faulted for over-estimating the spine of his fellow Republicans. He thought we had his 6. But like the guy above, our first response was to tell someone else "you go first".

Not even a nice try. The whole point of the post, since you obviously missed it, is that a lot of people are realizing that their original assessment was wrong.
It's not "lazy thinking" to come to a different conclusion when performance contradicts expectations. That's just called 'thinking'.
"Lazy thinking" would be still thinking he's a great guy - despite facts to the contrary - and that he's just a scared, well-connected multi-millionaire.

Totally, and obviously. Even with the media running interference, there was enough out in the open, for regular deplorable dummies like us to see, to start arresting people on Day One. Arresting them, shaking them down, financially destroying them, menacing their families, midnight raids, the whole magilla.
Our corrupted legal system allows for draconian mafia tactics any time the government wants to use them, as long as there's the shadow of an appearance of impropriety. And, in this case, there was a helluva lot more than that.
If one couldn't see what was happening here, one was discounting *everything* that didn't conform to his wishes. By the time it came out that Barr was suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop for an entire year, I was just like "Yeah, that makes sense."

LOL. That's why Presidents always nominate their entire voter base to be the nation's top cop. Barr was AG, it was his job to bust these people, and he'd have had the full-throated support of 75 million voters had he done his job. He didn't do it, and not because "we" somehow let him down or some corny, excuse-making bullshit like that. That makes no sense. He didn't do it because he's just another crook.

Yep. At a snap of his finger, hundreds of fed LE showed up to push back the incursions on Fed property in DC, saving many monuments and the White House. He' s also the one who sent US Marshals to Portland/Seattle, whichever of those Fed Courthouses was under attack, including arson attacks.

It's super political. Rush couldn't get in until 2013 because music critics spent all of the 70s and 80s shrieking that they were literal Nazis due to "2112" basically being an Ayn Rand short story set to music. After Neal Peart moved to Hollywood and provided receipts that he'd voted for Obama twice, Jann Wenner allowed it.

Trump's character was going to be exploited by the left. The fact that
they couldn't use greed or vanity or corruption against him tells me he
wasn't greedy, vain, or corrupt. They had to resort to using his
good-heartedness against him.

Spot on. Saw a quote that some lib asked Aussange why he hadn't leaked dirt on Trump. His response: "Because there isn't any."
The libs went after him for 4 years and were able to find NOTHING, despite lying 24/7 via the media. He made mistakes, everyone does. I think his biggest was assuming that people he hired actually loved this country and wanted to do good by it.

had to approve Sleepy Jeff's replacement. Anybody thinking they would

I believe - and please correct me if I'm wrong - that the President always has the luxury of appointing an "acting" or "interim" person to any position, pending Congressional approval. Biden has already announced his intentions to do exactly that.
Look - if he was given a short list and told not to deviate - that was clue fvcking one that the GOP was against him. If Trump didn't connect the dots, that's on him, and it's an obvious mistake. Trump made many.
If Trump was serious - and the more I learn, the less I like about how Trump played these four years - then you appoint interims that are twice the asshole of the nominee. Trump did not do that. You sure as shit don't appoint enemies. Keep the damn chair empty if necessary.

"Human milk" and "chest milk" are more acceptable terms for midwives to use.

For a lot of us, we don't see this as a 180-turn and never have. The whole sniper-defense thing left a real bad taste in a lot of our mouths.
But it's also not particularly lazy to think someone sold out late in the game either. Government has changed pretty radically. There's a far larger disconnect between it and the governed than there was in, say, 2000. And even larger than 1990. And still larger than 1980.

Yeah. Bill Barr acted at every turn in exactly the same fashion as every other DoJ deep state conspirator who perpetrated the crimes of recent years, but not because he's one of them... Very super secretly, he was a really good cop and he wanted to do justice, but he was just too afraid that we on the Right wouldn't support him in the job we were screaming for him to do, so he bailed out.
Sure.

The political class is solidifying into a caste, determined by having filtered through the Ivy League as a gatekeeper. They live lives of childhood affluence, go to the "best" schools, do Congressional internships, graduate, and immediately go work for a DC law firm, Congressional staff, or policy think tank.
At no point have they ever held a normal job, or had any of the concerns of the average citizen.

Reagan was a win all around. On multiple fronts. He did not make the government smaller. But on the trajectory we were on, we would have been where are now a lot, lot sooner without him. I know for non-lawyers it will probably seem like less of a big deal, but Reagan's court appointments, even accounting for the flawed ones, changed the federal judiciary bigly and for the better. We were on our way to a Supreme Court that abolished capital punishment (which it temporarily did) and ruled every leftist policy preference was a constitutional mandate.

Now you can justify Doing Nothing forever. If that's not lazy, I don't know what is. Why waste your time here when you could be practicing your Graceful Surrender?

I think that Trump grasped that lesson when he appointed Ric Grenell to be the interim DNI. The guy gets there, and starts kicking butt and taking names, releasing information hither and yon. The Swamp, that thought that he was stymied when the rejected Ratcliffe, thought better about that and let the guy become DNI.

Bike theft is more common among some groups than others, to be sure. Then again, as Shameless showed, sometimes a wrench to the head is a good antidote to bike theft.
Anyways, if someone's answer to "what are you going to do about this" is "yunno, stuff?" It's honestly a better answer than "vote harder." The ballot box, soap box, jury box, and mail box are all terminally compromised. So be it.

Look at the representatives who are screwing us over at this point in time. Romney? Daddy was a governor, Romney went to undergrad, then france for two years, then law school at Harvard, then Bain Capital. After that, started running for office, Gov. of Massachusettes.
Bill Cassidy is a physician, but hasn't been in practice since 2006, when he started permanently running for a political seat in Louisiana. 15 plus years of politics.
These are just two examples of either Ivy League, higher learning elites who become permanent fixtures in politics because they like the power and the grift. And the elitism that comes with it.

Dave, I know that you'll be making yourself scarce going forward, but I'm glad you're here.
My faith in our institutions - especially the GOP - was such that I really thought that the good guys will prevail. The lesson I've learned is that the 'good guys' we thought we had just weren't. Trump could really only trust his family, and a small number of other outsiders, to do the job they were hired to do.
As AtC said, the TEA Party was America asking nicely, and Trump was America asking not-so-nicely. What comes after that could be truly scary. It won't be a surprise, however.

My parents both want to be cremated to avoid funeral expenses. I am okay this plan, as only the soul is eternal, and paying the price of a good used car to sleep in 'til Kingdom Come seems...extravagant. (Put locks on mine though, so I don't rise like a barrow-wight and choke the ever-living shit of some stoner Socialist kids dissing the dead.) However, you can follow the example of King Raedwald and have yourself buried in your fishing boat with your favorite stuff in the back forty.

Ace has said it more that a few times. The citizens won't stand for being subjects under a different set of rules. He is right. History says that when the means for peaceful change is removed, the result is violence. Sometimes that violence leads to positive change (1776), sometimes to negative change (French Revolution), or to state imposed violence to enforce the ruling cabal (Venezuela, China). I hope that isn't our future, but I will be unsurprised if is. The lessons of history are pretty consistent. Curious story I heard getting my hair cut yesterday that is germane. Hair dresser was talking about someone she knows who was just in Panama trying to go to the airport, the police pulled them over and they had to show their plane tickets otherwise would be going to jail for breaking covid curfew. A girl sitting next to me, pretty confident she would be a Biden voter, says "Bullshit, no one is tell me when I can and can't leave my house".

Disagree. If we didn't take action to prevent the theft of the last free election, we won't take action for anything. Most the energy will be spent on mental gymnastics about why this isn't the hill to die on, no different than McCain or Mitten in the end.
Most of Instapundit is in denial - they still think we can vote our way out of this, despite the last free election being stolen mere months ago.
We are infested with cucks that throw cold water on any attempt to rally fighters with "irresponsible" talk.
The Right just wants to be left alone to pursue career and family, while the Left is willing to murder or die to promote their cause.
So I think the only thing that is inevitable is that the Right will submit. It's what we are best at. And it's the easy way out. Like pretending Barr is a traitor, because that requires zero commitment on our part, and absolves us of any responsibility to protect Liberty.

He organized the pro-bono defense of Lon Horuchi of the FBI Hostage Rescue Team after Horuchi killed Vicky Weaver at Ruby Ridge.
Also: not related but...
Horuchi denied that he fired shots at Waco although spent cartridge casings of the caliber of his rifle were found at his sniper's hide. The FBI said they could not link they cartridge casings to Horuchi's rifle because the barrel had been replaced after Waco.
That is BS.
The bolt face of a rifle stamps a unique imprint on the head of a cartridge case when it is fired. The bolt face imprints are as unique and telling as fingerprints in identifying which rifle fired the catridge.
This Forensics 101.
This has NOTHING to do with the barrel of the rifle.
