The Morning Report - 4/22/22

Good morning, kids. The weekend is here and with everything going on, I'd like to remind everyone how we got here in the first place; a seriously compromised election brought about by the evisceration of whatever fig leaf of voter integrity there might have been prior to the "two weeks to flatten the curve" that was aided and abetted by individuals and institutions allegedly on our side.

Before going any further, let me state for the record that no matter how much I appreciate what he did for this country, Donald Trump himself bears a good portion of the blame by going along with the psy-op that used the Chinese COVID as cover, which allowed all of the aforementioned to occur. Whether he seeks a third term or not, the magnitude of stealing a national election - the greatest crime in our history - must not and cannot be allowed to be swept under the rug. Yet, from a practical political perspective, running on that and that alone is probably not the best idea, and God bless PDT he seems to be doing just that and in his own sledgehammer style that, for sure in this instance, tends to put the focus more on his personality than the facts.

But that said, in the wake of the complete hack hit-job "interview" with Pierced Organ, he of the Limey overbite, some very crucial revelations only serve to bolster what Trump said and what we all saw happen with our own eyes on Election Night 2020.

The complaint alleges that “Fulton County’s Advance Voting poll closing tapes are a fraudulent, un-certified, unsigned, and un-checked false representation of over 311,000 ballots that no court could legally accept.”

Joe Biden’s state-certified margin of victory in the state was only 11,779 votes.

This comes on the heels of a recent report from Just the News indicating that at least 36 memory cards had to be prematurely removed from Dominion Voting System tabulation machines, “raising new concerns about chain of custody and belatedly discovered memory cards.”

The new complaint accuses Fulton County of violating state law “regarding the closing of ballot scanner polls and tampering with ballot scanners,” as seals had broken and flashcards were removed at the end of early voting on Oct. 30, 2020. . .

. . . According to independent investigative journalist Kevin Moncla, Fulton County “removed the flashcards from 109 tabulators and closed them out on different machines, and it leaves them wide open — unsecure and open to manipulation.”

“If those flashcards were put into another machine, then we would never know it,” he added. “They could have scanned — added additional votes, and we would have no idea.”

You will recall that around 9:00PM Eastern, Trump was in the lead in Georgia by a seemingly insurmountable 356,945. Ditto in five other states with similar margins. Yet, by daybreak, Joe Biden was in the lead in Georgia by 11,779 votes. Beyond what the article states, recall that in Atlanta as well as Detroit, Milwaukee and elsewhere, the vote count was stopped and GOP observers forcibly ejected as the windows and doors to the counting centers were sealed.

Not a smidgen of corruption! And that's just Georgia. Recounts and audits have been attempted in fits and starts in Wisconsin, Arizona and Pennsylvania where enough proof, despite both Democrat and RINO stonewalling either hint at or show similar findings. 81 million votes, my ass. Look, they stole it. They know they stole it and we know they stole it. But let's face some facts: Biden has been installed and there is no force on this earth that is going to remove him and put Donald Trump back in the Oval Office. What's done is done. But as I stated earlier, and the other day, it cannot be allowed to either be swept under the rug or worse, turned on its ear as a conspiracy theory with which to both ridicule us the aggrieved and worse, use as a legal precedent to have us banished from the public discourse, fired from our jobs and even imprisoned.

Right now, there are scores of Americans no different than you or I who are still languishing in prison for, at worst, trespassing. Hell, they didn't even trespass since it has been proven that the Capitol Police actually unlocked the doors and allowed people into the building where they did no more than gawk at the drapery and statuary. And yet, what is provably nothing less than Malig-Nancy Pelosi's personal goon squad murdered two unarmed women, Ashli Babbitt and Roseanne Boyland, in cold blood while dozens of paid agents and informants of the FBI egged on the crowd to become violent, (See: Ray Epps) or engaged in vandalism themselves. See: BLM thug John Sullivan.

The estimable Julie Kelly nails it, yet again.

Ravi Satkalmi, a former high-ranking NYPD official, took over the Capitol Police’s expanding intelligence unit this month. But his agency suffered a major humiliation Wednesday night after it forced the evacuation of the Capitol and surrounding buildings after spotting “an aircraft that poses a probable threat.” Staff scrambled to exit the buildings in a panic, and news outlets interrupted coverage with “breaking news” bulletins about the suspicious aircraft.

Roughly 15 minutes later, Capitol police backtracked and announced there was no threat; the aircraft, it turned out, was a U.S. Army plane preparing to perform a parachute stunt at the Washington Nationals baseball game. After issuing an “all clear” notice, a USCP senior security official told Fox News, “This is not supposed to happen. It looks bad.”

While the gaffe was heavily mocked on social media, the Capitol Police’s most ardent defender came to the rescue. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) quickly released a statement commending Capitol Police’s “heroism” and “exemplary service.”

Blaming the Federal Aviation Administration for allegedly failing to notify Capitol Police about the event, Pelosi promised to investigate what happened. “The unnecessary panic caused by this apparent negligence [by the FAA] was particularly harmful for Members, staff, and institutional workers still grappling with the trauma of the attack on their workplace on January 6th,” she said in a written statement.

Pelosi and her Democratic colleagues—who in 2020 readily took a knee in the Capitol building to honor George Floyd—have found the one police department they not only routinely describe as “heroic” but deserving of billions of new dollars courtesy of American taxpayers: the U.S. Capitol Police.

Since January 6, 2021, congressional Democrats have lavished the federal law enforcement agency with praise, medals of honor, and loads of cash to fund everything from more officers to a “Wellness and Trauma” program to help officers cope with the aftermath of the four-hour disturbance that resulted in the death of four Trump supporters.

Over the past 15 months, however, the department has morphed into Pelosi’s own little Secret Service. While purporting to defend “Congress, the U.S. Capitol, and our democracy,” Capitol cops act more as a narrative enforcer for Democrats, particularly as it relates to the events of January 6. . .

. . .As it perpetuates the Democrats’ narrative about January 6, Capitol Police are also doing Pelosi’s political dirty work. A Politico report earlier this year revealed the department’s extensive “intelligence” gathering operation targeting Republican lawmakers, staff members, donors, and constituents. Capitol Police spies . . . er, investigators scoured social media accounts and conducted background checks on associates of congressional Republicans. “For example, the unit scrutinized a meeting that Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) held with donors in a private home,” Molly Woodruff Swan and Daniel Lippman reported in January. “Analysts eyed the homeowner’s and attendees’ social media accounts and looked for any foreign contacts they had" . . .

. . . . Clearly, this agency cannot be trusted; like the FBI, the Capitol Police is a corrupt enforcement arm of the Democratic Party. And now, it plans to take its partisan show on the road by opening offices in other states, including California and Florida.

Congress should not have a police force unaccountable to the public. Capitol Police, rather than perform its duties, have instead demonstrated allegiance to congressional Democrats at the risk of public safety.

Defund—and disband—the U.S. Capitol Police.

Preach it, sister. It should be noted that the aim of this kangaroo court J6 Commission is not only out to nail Trump but abuse the law by sliming any public figures who attended the Stop the Steal Rally - over a half a mile away from the Capitol building where the "riot" was happening - as an insurrectionist, and thereby prevent them from running for office. God forbid you're a private citizen since the junta is encouraging friends and family to rat you out, ostensibly to "preserve our precious democracy" (*vomit*).

Just as a reminder, those of us who are insisting that fighting the sexual abuse and ultimate sexual enslavement of our children to the all powerful State as well as the indoctrination via Jive Kampf crackpot racialist theory is the absolute hill to die on and a political super-weapon to defeat the Left - and it is - this same corrupt DOJ and FBI at the behest of the junta that stole the election is targeting us for daring to confront the indoctrinators and sexual deviants mutilating our children.

Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, here are a couple of items that while wholly unsurprising nevertheless raise the blood pressure to dangerous levels.

New York Times reporters Alexander Burns and Jonathan Martin offered a recording on Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show,” allegedly of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) telling Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) that he would recommend to then-President Donald Trump that he should resign.

Earlier today, a spokesman denied the report that McCarthy called for Trump’s resignation from the upcoming book, This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America’s Future, authored by Burns and Martin.

So, okay, there's a whole mess of agitprop organs and pimps in that pull quote that should be taken with grain of salt the size of Jupiter. But given what we know of the subjects involved, and of course past experience, their denials ring hollow. Especially since the two of them are on tape.

Worse still is your favorite Chinless Chao-hound Mitch McConnell:

Following the [January 6] incident, McConnell was grateful to Democrats for taking action against his long-time political opponent, the New York Times reported. After it become certain that House Democrats would use January 6 as a potent political cudgel against conservatives, McConnell agreed with Democrats that Trump should be impeached.

“The Democrats are going to take care of the son of a bitch for us,” McConnell purportedly said. “If this isn’t impeachable, I don’t know what is.”

Q-E-fucking-D.

So, okay, I totally get it. Going on about "we wuz robbed!" isn't going to accomplish jack. But we were robbed -- after being kicked in the groin by the Deep State and then stabbed in the back by the GOP and the so-called "conservative" punditry.

Maybe a political ad with the image of someone's little kid in drag with the accompanying headline Stolen Elections Have Consequences is worth a try.

Meh, what the hell do I know? Have a good weekend.

29 1- I'm serious, the Federal Government as it currently exists cannot stand. It is an enemy to the Life, Liberty, and Property (fuck you, Thomas Jefferson, just use the fucking word already) of the People. And I'm quickly losing faith that either the ballot box or jury box will do anything to fix it.

2- It's almost amazing to me how prescient the anti-federalists were. Centralized authority will always seek to obtain more power, so your only choice is to give as little as possible and then beat it with a stick every time it asks "Please sir, I'd like some more."

Trump doesn't solely talk about the steal, he talks about a whole host of subjects on the stump, but because the MSM, NeverTrumpers and GOP swamp creatures hate Trump and the movement he has built, they focus solely on the steal narrative so they don't have to contend with the rest.

There can be no moving forward without contending with the stolen election, and anyone who says so is all wet.

I mean, the biggest tell that the election was stolen was the halting of vote counting in all of the states that turned the election.

We're talking about 8 states all having "water pipes break" and voting counting grinding to a halt and every update to vote totals were lopsided for the Meat Puppet.

Because what we call "woke" today is just Progressivism with a new label. Progressivism needs to be killed in all its forms.

Old-school liberals (who are now very much "on the right" by modern standards) would be fine. A Democrat party that advocated (honestly) for "a social safety net" or minimum wage, or whatever would be okay. For one thing, advocating for such things honestly would mean they'd lose more often, but beyond that, they wouldn't be "just insane" like the left is today.

And there's always the chance that the virus survives the enburnening, in which case now you have to deal with that while also trying to rebuild, and none of us want that.

I actually appreciate people trying to cure the cancer/disease before everything burns down. It's too late to stop the burning anyway (the only question is if it will happen in my time, my children's, or my grand-children's, really), and this way when the rebuild begins, it can begin with people healthy in mind and spirit.

I mean, the biggest tell that the election was stolen was the halting of vote counting in all of the states that turned the election.

We're talking about 8 states all having "water pipes break" and voting counting grinding to a halt and every update to vote totals were lopsided for the Meat Puppet.

It does not pass the smell test and was rottener than Jill Biden's fart clam.

Because the only people I've ever seen advocate for it in a serious way are the Big Government types who understand that really will turn (almost) everyone into nothing more than serfs or useful idiots who don't want to have to do hard or boring work to make a paycheck - who want "to be free to follow [their] passion!"

I do, in fact, completely agree with you about the actual state of affairs. This current era centered about the covid fiasco has been a stark turning point in the development of world history. The sudden implosion of the iron grip of various media on The Narrative has been a sight to behold.

As a general point, though, i don't want to be a slave to a master i never chose in exchange for regular garbage pickups, running water, and crippling monthly payments (mandated by law) for the high privilege of having ten idiot doctors form a conga line to say Hello and collect their $20,000 each.

112 >>The history of Mcconnell is clear too.

And it's more clear to Trump than anyone else.

In addition to defeating the left Trump is focused on rebuilding the Congress with people who support his America First agenda and who aren't part of the McConnell/McCarthy establishment.

That's why he sometimes makes endorsements in races that make people who are looking for perfection angry as he did in PA. Is Oz perfect? Hell no. Is he much more likely to support Trump than McCormick will? Hell yes.

There is no perfect candidate in many races. Sometimes you pick the one who sucks less and you have a shot at getting their support at least some of the time. Oz now owes Trump bigly. With McCormick you will another McConnell drone.

Maybe you'll have to enlighten me, because I haven't seen any big wins for liberty in at least a year. Longer, really.

If you're talking about the masks going away - first, I wasn't wearing one anyway. Second, giving me back a liberty someone stole for me may be a "win" in that now I've got something back, but it's not a "win" as far as bringing more liberty to the people.

And, honestly, I don't see anything else to celebrate recently - though I may have missed something. I can watch what's going on between Disney and Florida and Twitter and Musk with a great deal of schadenfreude, but I neither of those are about "liberty."

Meanwhile, while sending Republicans to DC is better than sending Democrats, it does nothing more than slow the collapse, and we're quickly reaching the limit of the number of people who are going to wake up anyway. The slower the collapse, the worse it will be in the long run.

How can you say the Twitter or Disney issues aren't about liberty. One is LITERALLY about helping to reinstate free speech on the internet and the other is helping to reinstate parental rights over their children's development - and both (well Twitter, not yet, but soon) are not only wins, but they are publicly popular wins. We're finding out the people are with us, b/c DeSantis and Musk, while getting corporate media and politician blowback, are getting NO popular blow back. So, we can do even more!

129 You will recall that around 9:00PM Eastern, Trump was in the lead in Georgia by a seemingly insurmountable 356,945. Ditto in five other states with similar margins. Yet, by daybreak, Joe Biden was in the lead in Georgia by 11,779 votes. Beyond what the article states, recall that in Atlanta as well as Detroit, Milwaukee and elsewhere, the vote count was stopped and GOP observers forcibly ejected as the windows and doors to the counting centers were sealed.

Oh, and before you get complacent about that (not that anyone here would)... the eating bugs thing is trying to go mainstream.

We like to watch Guy's Grocery Games and Tournament of Champions on Food Network, and ToC had chocolate covered crickets (I think - some sort of bug) as a required "protein" in one episode. It's just one episode of one (well liked) show, but when you add it to all the other noise? Well, part of getting things to go mainstream is simply repeating them enough that people get desensitized. Then the real gaslighting can begin.

I care about what happens to Twitter insofar as I want the Blue Check Mafia brought to heel and want to see Progressives cry. But I haven't been on twitter in a very long time, and it means virtually nothing to me. Twitter isn't "the internet" and I already have free speech on the internet. Wake me when someone (with the clout to make a difference) starts talking about the illegal kangaroo courts for the J6 political prisoners.

Similarly, with the Parental Rights bill - first off, it wasn't that big a deal in FL, or it wouldn't have passed. You'll never see it in places that need it (CA, NY). Second - I already have all those rights. You'll find I personally believe that most people should reduce their lifestyles and keep one parent home because the rearing of children is the responsibility of the parents, not the State.

I'm much happier with the bill (I think out of Florida) supporting fathers. THAT is something that might eventually lead to more liberty. But only might.

163 >>And I'm somewhat optimistic that culture by and large is changing.

I don't think there is any question its changing. There isn't any more clear indication than what is going on in the schools and the political results we are seeing.

Not only did Youngkin have an improbable win in VA largely because of the school issue he is now polling extremely well and VA as a whole is trending more Republican. DeSantis has turned into a national rockstar over the issue and there is a grassroots movement across the country following suit. Republicans made big inroads in recent school board races in Wisconsin that had been dominated by Democrats for years. I expect this trend to continue around the country.

We didn't get here overnight. It's going to take a while to take it back.

168 Great commentary today, JJ. I expected no less on your birthday.

I don't have much to add to it either. But (and there is almost always a but or two) I do have a number of salient points to make about the latest CJN podcast, which is growing on me, and I ain't all that fond of podcasts in general. I'm at about the halfway point currently.

So I'll just hit a couple of points -- First up is Head Start. Sure, it's a free daycare service, but it IS MUCH MORE. It's an early shot at indoctrination, it makes zero difference in children's education achievements at the 3rd grade level by numerous studies, and of course it cannot be killed no matter what.

177 But... it appears the legislative torch may have been passed to the massive bureaucratic establishment that appears to now be making national policy. So, what is the actual legislative branch doing? Grifting obviously. They've outsourced their primary job to lobbyists and various Agency heads while they navel gaze and collect checks."

Congress is effectively dead, and this has come about because it has spent 60 years abdicating all of its authority over to the bureaucracy, the judiciary, and the lobbyists. Have any actual Congressmen written any bills over the last 20 years? Hell no, the lobbyists write them, and Congress passes them without even reading them.

This current session is the epitome of failure theater - what have they done? Passed an "infrastructure" bill that paid off everyone, including McConnel and friends, of course. nothing else. They might as well all go home for the rest of the year (like that Hawaiian) because them being in DC is meaningless.

What makes you think they haven't already taken over?

The Chinese have infiltrated the US government, the military, the tech, education, business and most of the critical infrastructure in this country. They own the supply chains and have a huge stake in our means of production.

That sounds a lot like "a takeover" to me.

Depends on the specifics, but that's certainly a possibility (and, unfortunately, not an unlikely one). However, continuing to prop up the current state of things only leads our servitude a different way.

Personally, what I'd *like* to see is several States seceding, and then a new Articles of Confederation put together. That's not going to happen.

But there is no way out of this without risk, and we (as a culture and society) have let the problem get so big, the risks any way you go are huge. The question is which is more important - your comfort and "security" or the freedom of your grandchildren?

At least, that's the way I see it.

If this activist process is happening in suburban Boston, I have to believe it is becoming widespread. The Groomer Left (and their corporatist Cuck-Right supporters, like NRO, Dispatch et al) have really messed their game up, going after little children.

237 This is why Trump is screwed in 2024. The whole of the Federal Government is against him, no matter what the voters want. As long as Mitch the Bitch is in there WASTF.

--

And since this is the case, whether they approve of and let in someone like Trump, or anybody else that doesn't suit them, it's clear that they think the federal gov't belongs to them, and not The People. It's why I fully believe the bonds must be dissolved and we need to regroup into another country. Them there, us here. Yeah, yeah, I don't have any answers as to the particulars, but like AllenG said, this cannot stand anymore. Unless we're a-ok with just handing over our natural rights, liberties, freedoms forever to a leviathan, all powerful federal gov't who will dictate our every move from birth to death.

242 Love Bill Murray, but I'd steer clear of him when he's on a bender. I remember reading about him on the set of Charlies Angels, antagonizing Lucy Liu as essentially being just another pretty face and not much of an actress, which is pretty accurate in my opinion.

Murray's known for playing odd and goofy characters but he is also very well read, thoughtful and philosophical so I suspect the cast of idiots ensconced in the typical Hollywood-type movie production can bring out the worst in him.

His current term is up in 2024. He hasn't said anything explicit about not running again, but there's a lot of circumstantial stuff around him that indicates he's done after this. A couple of years ago, he worked with the Kentucky legislature to change the rules of senate replacements in the case of death of a senator. Word has "leaked" that he's grooming Thune to replace him.

It seems far more likely than not that he retires after this term.

252 >>Two mold-breakers in hockey when I was watching as a kid were Orr and Lafleur.

I lived in a Boston suburb during jr and high school years. My street was about a mile long, loaded with kids around my age and had to ponds or as we called them in the offseason hockey rinks in waiting. When there was no ice we played pickup games of street hockey endlessly.

A couple years after I was out of high school Bobby Orr moved onto my street. He was retired by then and of course his knees were shot. But every now and then some of the neighbor kids would knock on his door and ask if Bobby could come out to play street hockey and every now and then he did.

He's a really nice guy as well as being an incredible hockey player.

253 And, honestly, I don't see anything else to celebrate recently - though I may have missed something. I can watch what's going on between Disney and Florida and Twitter and Musk with a great deal of schadenfreude, but I neither of those are about "liberty."

We've talked about a WW2 analogy here, and I think it applies. We're still in 1942, and the fight is still a long, hard bloody slog. The fight over CRT is a bit like Guadalcanal - a bitter, dirty struggle with a lot of casualties on both side. No one felt elated when it was over, because the cost was so high; but it was still an absolutely essential stepping stone to actual victory.

"Feeling good" about things never happens in a real war. That only comes at the end, and only to those who survive. Expecting anything now except a long, hard, dirty, and at times demoralizing fight is at best, unrealistic.

302 I wonder if Bill Murray goes around doing Bill Murray impressions of his characters? I mean, I'd like to see him do that, but he likely considers that just too derivative and overdone, so he needs to mine fresh material like insulting idiot people.

Saw Dana Carvey on one of those Seinfeld shows, coffee with comedians or something like that. People always ask him to do his GWB impersonation, and he simply and quickly says "na gonna duit", so he found a way to fulfill the request easily and quickly and then keep moving on.

Miramax and New Line kind of forced him on Jackson because he was the hot new thing at the time. He ended up being "too young" officially. Unofficially, he refused to train or practice and generally had a bad attitude about the effort he needed to put into the role.

337 >> Biden Announces More Ukraine Military Aid

"The package will include heavy artillery, dozens of howitzers, 144,000 rounds of ammunition to be used with the howitzers, and more tactical drones, Biden said. The funding will also cover vehicles to tow howitzers and other field equipment."


Towed artillery is highly vulnerable to counter-battery artillery fire and air strikes, using quickly-obtained location data from counter-artillery radars. The Russians have those radars, as do we. This is why we and the Russians use self-propelled artillery in main-line infantry and armor units, so the guns can "shoot and scoot" - quickly fire a mission then move ASAP before the counter-battery shells fire or the bombs arrive.

Oh well, hopefully the US Army advisors with the Ukes have a plan for using and not losing the towed US howitzers. This move also means Biden is not ready to send any of our M-109 self-propelled 155mm howitzers. So far.

344 284 Honest question, Black Orchid. How would the Puritan ideology contribute to mind rot?
-------------
To answer the question asked of Orchid is the Tyranny of the Northeast/Upper Midwest Religious Polemic. The two poles are Roundheads acting as Apollonians and Crazy Quakers acting as Dionysians. The fact that Christianity (Judeaism and Zoroastrianism) is profoundly binary causes the problem. Roundheads were basically Jews, in that they lived and breathed the Old Testament cuz it was a how to book while accepting Jesus as thir savior. Crazy Quakers were the original What Would Jesus Do people - which is a sacrilidge. They imagined they could deduce what Jesus would do by having 10-12 hour Meeting House Struggle Sessions in pursuit of vitue greater than Jesus. One of their biggest mistakes was concluding that slavery is a sin and Jesus would have gotten around to banning it if he hadn't been crucified by those nasty Jews and Romans. Sins are not economics which is what eventually ended slavery. This demonstrates what happens to people who can't see the forest for the trees. Apollo and Dionysis were but two Greek Gods of a body numbering 3,142 gods/goddesses.

376 "Trump trusts McCarthy? Trump also trusted McMaster. Trump's personnel choices always exemplify the triumph of hope over experience."

Normally I would agree. I don't trust any of them, it we have very few choices. McCarthy has the votes for speaker I don't see anyone else stepping in. We're stuck with him, but he's stuck with us. I don't think the voters realize how much power they have in this process. We need to get more people materially involved. It's that participation that's been already forcing McCarthy into the agenda they ate now openly talking about.

If we can't have a good speaker, at least have a shit speaker brought to heel? Maybe.

380 Time to juice up the memes and comments that were used by the MSM against Trump against Biden:
Bombshell, Beginning of the End, Walls are closing in, Beginning of the End, Impeachment, Tipping Point, Presidency is Crippled, Will not serve out his Term, Big Trouble, Terrified Old Man, Administration Crumbling internally, Turning Point. Go Get 'Em !

384 The Corporate mindset in government needs to be destroyed. Until that happens,nothing can change.

Along with the loser mentality discussed yesterday, the majority of the GOP act like they're interim mid-level managers--don't do anything drastic, maybe the new boss will keep you on.

The new blood Trump is bringing in are going to act like they're the owners.

387 Re the Georgia (and national) election debacle. I fully expect the GA courts to deny the suit on the grounds of "mootness" --since the election has already been certified. Of course, you can't bring suit before the election because it's not yet "ripe."
So between "ripeness" and "mootness" you have a few weeks in which the Dems will flood the zone with fraud and lawfare. Welcome to the US of USSR.

388 I'd bet hard money it was Cheney that leaked the recording. She realized that she's complete toast, and McCarthy is no longer useful to her, so she sold it to NYT to try and get a gig as their local pet 'conservative' commenter.

389 JJ, I typically applaud your collumns but I have to take issue with you over this repeated "Trump is partially to blame for 2020" argument you continually make. It's not an entirely fair or truthful statement.

The late and great Rush Limbaugh observed (correctly) that President Trump was given an estimate of anywhere from1-5 million deaths from Covid 19 by medical experts the government relied on. He went on to say that when you're president of the United States and you're given this sort of information, you have to act on it. As Rush followed this with "What is he supposed to do?" Even Rush said the president had to act and did what he was assured by experts was the best course of action.
The fact that Democrats, activist judges and their leftist allies at the federal and state levels used the pandemic to manipulate and ignore voting laws is NOT the fault of President Trump.He even took these states to courts to prevent the massive fraud he knew could and possibly would result from all of this and the courts refused to do their jobs and reinforce existing voter laws. Those are the facts!
This "well Trump is partly to blame" sounds like the latest talking point from the RNC.

390 Oh and JJ, there actually IS a force on Earth that can change the installation of Joe Biden. That force is called the United States armed services (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines) who took an oath to defend against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC.

Think again. Look who's in charge of the DoD and JCS and probably a good chunk of officers down to the rank of colonel.

395 All it will take is 2-5 conservative Senators to pledge they will NOT support McConnell as Senate Leader, and the caucus will be forced to find a unanimously supported compromise leader, right?

Same in House. Fuck McCarthy. Play chicken - someone less treacherous and liberal, or we let the Dems elect the Speaker.

399 Hi there superb website! Does running a
blog similar to this require a lot of work?
I have absolutely no expertise in computer programming however I was hoping to start my
own blog in the near future. Anyway, should you have any ideas or tips for new blog owners please share.
I understand this is off topic but I simply had to ask.
Thanks!
