VOTE TRUMP/PENCE 2020
Yes indeed!!!
VOTE STRAIGHT REP, TOP DOWN 2020
Don’t mail in your ballots so the Biden supporting USPS can dispose of them before they get to your local or county registrar. Vote in person!
Or like what we’ve been doing for several election cycles, drop your ballot at your registrar office. It was worth the 30 mins drive for us. By the time we got home we have recovered our peace of mind and a smug satisfaction knowing we have out-foxed USPS.
Road trip.
Road Trip with a LUNCH and a FEW!!!!!
If every single voter who wanted to vote R actually turned up and voted, it wouldn’t matter how much they cheated.
Biden blathers on about some racial equality commission being installed in the White House.
It’s a guarantee that it will take all of 5 minutes for that ‘commission’ to morph into a council of secretaries into a governing council into a politburo in all but name.
No prizes for guessing which names will headline it.
Every R-minded person needs to vote like their lives depend on it.
In the immortal words of Sarah Palin: ” You becha”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

REVOLUTION 2020
How did we get there – and how will it end?
By Angelo Cordevilla
Claremont Institute
************
A rather lengthy article, but well worth reading. The very best article I have found thus far explaining what has happened to our Republic, and how it happened.
The various post-election scenarios set forth by the author are frightening.
https://americanmind.org/essays/revolution-2020/
Yes, it is scary – I agree with his diagnosis but he’s much too hard on POTUS IMHO, especially in light of the recent order defunding Critical Race Theory.
A VERY Good read on the aspects of what has taken place since the beginning of this nation…NOW, WE the People, have to revert to what OUR Founding Fathers put on paper and died for…
Thank you, James Hall!!!!
Mark Levin had Sydney Powell on his radio show and ended up calling her stupid after she left. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! I don’t have time for this! Not right to her face (or voice as they were likely not in the same studio), but just a few minutes later, by proxy, when he called one of his own callers, and likely [now former?] fans, stupid for suggesting the very same thing Sydney Powell had just suggested – firing Wray now. He was likely fuming about it the whole time between Sydney and that caller as he couldn’t very well call Sydney stupid to her face.. He may have almost given himself a a heart attack as his blood pressure erupted and his face turned supper beats red.
He is by personality (not by ideology, but by personality), like those on the far left in that he thinks not just that his opinions are best (don’t we all?), but are the only opinions that are legitimate and not stupid. Rather like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in that regard.
After becoming very appreciative of him as of late, because of his switch from Trump hater to big Trump supporter, I now remember why I never liked the nasty foul tempered son of a b…ch..
I hope Sydney heard that call and never gives Mr. Snotty Pants the time of day ever again.
Wray should be fired just based on his non-response to ANTIFA and that would be completely justified.
Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! I don’t have time for this !!!
– Mark Levin
How could I resist?
Well if President Trump is going to fire Wray before the election he should do after October 10th that is when the Senate goes into full recess is understanding. If correct then he could make a recess appointment.
What was Levin’s objections to firing Wray based on?
He thought it would be bad politically. He could be right, but he didn’t have to call those like Sydney (by proxy) and that poor called such names. He sounded like a Hillary Clinton personality with his uncalled for invective.
Well, not defending him, AT ALL,..but he MAY have been MEANING to say that firing Wray, NOW, as opposed to say,..in 38-39 DAYS from now, would be a stupid thing to do, politically.
IF thats,what he MEANT, than I agree.
However, as a “talking head”, he should have expressed it that way, rather than calling either the caller OR Sidney “stupid”.
That,was a really STUPID thing for him to do, if thats what he did.
I didn’t hear the broadcast, or context cause I’m not a listener.
They don’t call him “Old Yeller” for nothing.
Never was fond of his temperament.
Not a big fan, myself.
I was listening to Levin and the conversation he had with Sydney. When she raised the question of firing Wray “yesterday” he told her he disagreed with her and that he believes that would be a political mistake. He was not insulting to her. What I heard was a good conversation with a single point of disagreement – when to fire wray.
Thanks for the clarification. A perfect example of ‘spin’, and how (no offence or aspersions to any treepers) its important to get it from the Horses MOUTH, rather than the other end.
WHAT was said, HOW it was said, and CONTEXT as well as accuracy.
I skipped Hannity’s “Great One” for a long while because of his volcanic emotional outbursts at times. It is easiest to think of this talking head as possessing a female’s emotional temperament. He quite easily loses it if he finds you do not agree with his issue of the day. I also find his supposed constitutional scholarship questionable after his initial support of the unqualified Ted Cruz. He will ofc argue the meaning of NBC in Article II with you but it is an empty argument when you consider evidence points to NEITHER parent being a citizen and birth in a foreign country. Cruz’s mother was married to a Brit and accessed the NIH for treatment for his older sibling in 1962. At the time to get medically treated via NIH in England required you to be a British subject.
Hannity gives me a pain I can’t reach with my elbow (PITA), as my dear old Dad used to say.
I, personally am uninterested in debating Hannity.
Frankly, arguments about Presidential citisenship and qualification have been hashed and trashed, too.
Reality is, the PARTIES (RNC &DNC) write a letter, to all 50 State SoS’s, asserting and affirming that their candidate is legally qualified to be POTUS, and the SoS’s normally accept such letters, without question.
Unless and until THAT is changed, the argument is, FOR ME, an uninteresting mental excercise.
Not demeaning those who wish to go there, its just I only have so much I can expend time, energy etc. on, and I don’t choose this.
IMHO, an awful lot of people don’t understand, OR refuse to accept, how MANIPULATION works.
Trigger a STRONG emotional responce, and the part of our brain that engages in critical thinking goes dormant.
And THAT opens us up to manipulation. We don’t “hear” from that part, thats “prime directive” is “question EVERYTHING”, and so we assume that what we are percieving, thinking, etc. is ‘Valid’.
Understanding this, and learning to guard against responding emotionally, CAN give us SOME, not insignificant protection against being manipulated, but it requires constant vigilence.
NOT understanding HOW it works, means walking around with a sign on our forehead saying “Manipulate Me!”, like the kid with the “kick me” sign on his back.
And there are NO shortage of manipulators, eager to accomodate us.
Advertising, commentators, media, politicians and sociopaths we meet in our daily lives, and more.
Thing is, while it is EASY to see the mote in our neighbors eye, not so easy to see the timber in our own.
Again, it requires CONSTANT vigilence, to recognise and avoid being manipulated. Hannitys emotional outbursts, refusal to hear opposing views (critical thinking coming from sources outside his own head) are classic signs of someone being manipulated, and we see the same clear signs with libbies.
Manipulation is getting someone to do something they would not do, if you simply ASKED them.
He didn’t object to the firing itself, just the timing. And, he didn’t call anybody stupid . . . it was the idea of firing Wray before the election. And, he’s right of course.
I was over Mark Levin when he supported the Canadian for president, Ted Cruz. And he’s a lawyer.
Levin has his good points, but he’s still an establishment conservative no matter what he says to the contrary. Same with Hannity and Rush. They’re on our side, but they still have contacts with the establishment of the GOP.
A lawyer that claims he is a “constitutional scholar.” The US Constitution does not require a JD to understand as it was written in common verbiage of the time so the electorate could understand it. Just his mistaken belief on the originalist meaning of “Natural Born Citizen” puts him in the same scholarship column as RBG to me. He believes the US Constitution means whatever he wants it to mean not what it was WRITTEN to mean.
Levin is stupid. And 10 pounds of hubris in a 5 pound bag. But who is next in line if Wray is fired or transferred? Until the bench is in MAGA order, keep giving em rope.
And didn’t Pres Trump say that after the elections he may fire some people? Hoping Wray will be one of them. A lot will depend on if we can hold the Senate and add more Repub to Senate. He has to work with Itchy Mitchy who itch for more money & power.
If I understand correctly, Pres can appoint a succession interim Directors til the end of his 2nd term at 210 days a pop, and if he submits them for Congressional approval and they’re declined, he can continue a 2nd 210 days with each of them
So 2 terms of 210, then 2 terms with the next guy, and the next …
Do I have it wrong?
… start with Grenell and move on to the next even-harder barked sonuvab*tch than the next even harder, until they get the picture they should have approved Grenell when they had the chance
hardball
not beanbag
… then the next even harder …
Agree nimrodman, if it’s effective why not? I don’t know what we are seeing with these lame appointments. Wray was always a terd as well as Bondo Barr.
nimrodman,
IIRC, The interim Director had to have been approved by the Senate for some office. Rick Grenell was approved as Ambassador to Germany, then after really stirring up the pot???, He was made Interim Director, (DNI??) where he continued doing what he always has done. Being a disruptor, so much so that the Senate couldn’t approve Radcliff fast enough.???
Recess appointments are a little different, However PDJT is the only President that has NOT been able to have any recess appointments.
thx for your clarifications, Ninja
If the Turtle ever recesses then PDJT can appoint recess appointments that are valid until the end of the current Congress. Typically they are confirmed at a later date but can serve until 3 Jan of the next odd year when a new Congress is sworn in. This is constitutional and not subject to statute.
The FBI is useless as it is. Few reforms or convictions for wrongdoing have been made except firing the top brass, and I fear there are many politically motivated monsters still there. Like Wray, who was hired to right the ship but is hiding documents instead., The FBI needs a real captain.
Levin is interesting but at one point he was telling to Sidney how she should approach Sullivan. Sidney was polite but she has obviously done a heroic job for General Flynn and the interview got awkward for a bit. I think it has been an unbelievable spectacle to watch Sullivan and the federal judiciary ignore basic legal rights.
Both Sidney and Levin share that frustration I am sure.
Perhaps he’s left Wray alone to save some time. Disbanding the entire FBI would be a much better allocation of time. The U.S. Marshals have already commandeered the spotlight saving lives and arresting many which we should have seen coming from its law enforcement division.
Should only take 10-15 minutes, tops: offer Wray a deal where he either gets fired and risks additional criminal exposure or fires everybody and is allowed to immediately retire with a full benefits package. After 5 minutes, Wray holds a press conference and announces he just got his ass chewed by Potus for substandard overall performance and everyone in the Department is hereby Fired over his in undeserved embarrassment. After another 5 minutes, Potus comes back out and announces he is saddened after learning we no longer have anyone working in the FBI as its last employee just retired. So he has decided it really is the best time to shut it down and happy to report saving taxpayers $9 billion annually. He can wrap it up by telling anyone with outstanding time sheets to forward them to OMB for processing and anyone with gov’t property should return it for the mandatory final inventory audit.
I want Grenell.
A Mister Know-It-All.
When Levin bashed Candidate Trump in 2015, hubbie stopped listening to Levin radio program, easypeasy. Don’t have time for the likes of him and we never really listen/read to Levin anymore.
With that said…one wonders if Levin a friend of Wray’s…..?
As of late during my drive home from work, I’ve been listening to Buck Sexton’s radio show instead of the always angry Levin. Levin’s schtick wears thin more and more these days.
Funny when Michael Savage refers to Mark Levin, he always says “constitooootion”, mocking Levin’s constant reference to it. I think Savage is implying that Levin is a one-trick pony when he does that.
Savage can grate on one’s nerves at times just like Levin, especially when he cuts off callers before they can make their point. But if nothing else, Savage is a brutal and straight shooter.
Grandma Covfefe??
Yes, I agree with you and your hubbie.
I also trust Syndney’s political instincts and advice, certainly not Levin’s.
OFC, have to respectfully disagree . . . ML’s point is well taken; no need to give leftists (please don’t call them liberals) an election issue to pummel the president with. The firing can wait until after the election. Remarkably sound advice. Also, ML is not calling Sidney stupid rather, the idea is stupid. Quite a different matter . . .
“Also, ML is not calling Sidney stupid rather, the idea is stupid. Quite a different matter . . .”
Not quite a different matter. In fact, with his way over the line invective, a distinction without much of a difference
to be more precise, ML is calling the suggested timing of the firing stupid, not the idea of the firing. In fact, he agrees Chris Wray needs to be fired. After all, timing is everything.
There is a distinction and it’s in a trivial one.
JMO but Wray actually wants the President to fire him now.

I am not a fan of Levin’s delivery either. I am not a fan of his 2015 stances as well. But frogtongue makes a good point. The swamp is deep and the true Trumpers are hiding, if there actually are any navigating the Swamp.
We don’t have much of a bench in the military generals and intelligence agencies. Anyone recommended by establishment R’s will probably be Bush acolytes.
I cannot wait to see what PDJT does to clean house.
I dont know what people expect. The American people elected PDJT in 2016. Levin, Beck, Shapiro, etc. called PDJT the same names and either didnt support him or got on the Trump train at the very end. Bannon worked strongly against him during the primaries and PDJT brought him on board for a show of party unity after Cruz pulled his betrayal at the 2016 GOP convention. These are FACTS and I assume you fine folks were paying attention.
Their PANDERING to the MAGA masses after the President won, have been their attempts to maintain some kind of relevance and to be able to continue to seek dollars and clicks and views from MAGA patriots who hunger for a return to America’s greatness and to see justice restored.
When people elevate these characters to being anything more than that, those people are the ones who need to recalibrate their thinking and views of these characters. They havent changed. And they will not.
No matter what pretty ear-tickling words fall from their mouths.
Spot on. Bandwagon supporters who will jump off when the next parade starts.
He likely doesn’t want to rock the election.
Why take the risk? Give him a sabbatical, or let him coast, and then can his a@@. After the election.
I listened to the interview. Levin was referring to the dem base, and how stupid. stupid, stupid they were because they cant figure out mail in ballots. At no time do I recall him addressing Ms. Powell that way. He only disagreed with her about firing wray, which is something I support Sydney on.
Wray, and his BLM FBI, is undermining the republic.
Levin was not calling Powell “stupid”. He was referring to the idea of firing Wray NOW at this point in the election-which would offer tremendous fuel to the opposition and worsen what is already a very difficult race.
There is a HUGE difference between calling a person stupid, and stating that something a person did or said was stupid.
Levin thinks that canning Wray immediately would be a stupid move.
I tend to agree.
Ms Powell thinks it would be best to do it right now. There are lots of reasons to support that thinking….but impact on Trump’s re-election chances could be negative.
Yeah….Levin could have said “unwise” or “tactical error”, and made it more clear that he was NOT calling Sidney stupid. But Levin is like most media pundits….their rhetoric is often bombastic because that what they think their audiences look for.
As the saying goes: Never trust a Never Trumper, whether current or a supposedly former one.
Levin is and has always been full of himself. It’s a hard pass from me and always has been.
As I recall it was actually Sundance who called
him out on a libtard group buying a bunch of his
books that dirt on him sent him over the edge…
I think that is kind of what made me looovee CTH..
He acted as if Trump himself call him out.???
Bubby …it is my understanding that the power to make recess appointments was taken away from PT.
Yes, we should never forget who the Never TRUMP’rs were/are. They are ShapeShifters/UNIParty. As long as they are still able to earn their fine living, and hawk book after book, they are good with whoever.
I never believed the Hannity hype about Levin. It was just another way to pat himself on the back, which he loves to do out loud and in lists du jour.
Sleep with both eyes open around that one.
You need to listen more carefully. He did not call HER stupid.
If you have the facts on your side
pound the facts
If you have the law on your side
pound the law
If you have neither
pound the table.
This is precisely where the
United States is in 2020
The elite (not having the law or the facts behind them) are united in using
the activist judges, activist academia,
activist DAs, activist media,
activist entertainment including sports,
activist internet and now, paid to organize mobs.
Simply because a democratic republic is a barrier to their goals.
WELLL then Pilgrim…WE give them something they can gnash on…ELECT PRESIDENT TRUMP!!! #1 Goal!!!
President Trump is: The Great One.

How is that Ron DeSantis looking to the rest of the country? Two giant moves this week, you ain’t going to riot here, and we’re about done with this coronavirus thing. That’s showing the country how you get it done.
Looks pretty good. It’s also kind of funny that Florida has a lot of escapees from the NY-NJ-CT tri-state area.
Clearly, he shares considerable DNA with one Donald J. Trump.
DeSantis probably will run for president in 2024 or 2028.
And add to that our President saying you are not going to use our tax dollars to s**t on white people anymore, and I feel like I got my bucks worth this week out of our elected leadership.
I think he’s a little down on the personality quotient.
LOL!!!
We need to find somebody. Even though I like Pence as VP…he is not Presidential material. I am afraid he would be another George H.W. Bush.
Right now DeSantis would more than likely be every State Governor.
He’s a stud.
Presidential Material I’d say!!!!!
I am very pleased with him. Glad to have him as my Governor. I traded Cuomo for DeSantis. What a deal. I’m back in NY again and it’s ridiculous. Everywhere I go, I have to wear a stupid mask. I am getting my house here in shape and selling it. The $14,000 plus in taxes are killing me. I’m done with this state after this.
In February 2014 Obama proclaimed there was not “a smidgeon of corruption “ in his administration. Well, I don’t know Barack, but right now I‘m looking at a whole flock of smidgeons…. ?
A Dung Pile of smidgens.
Ranger, He’s called Little F**king Weasel for good reason. LFW for short.
Ranger, He’s called Little F**king Weasel for good reason. LFW for short.
You post raises an issue that confuses me.
Obama’s administration was a consolidation of power that included his DOJ, FBI, CIA, etc. all working together. No, it was not for good purposes, but I don’t see the consolidation of power itself as wrong.
I am often confused by how President Trump seems so totally apart from those entities in his administration, especially when he uses tweets to chastise them.
Kk,
Your confusion stems from a common misconception, and that is that the administrative State is a part of the EXECUTIVE branch of Government, hence “his (PDJT’s) administration”.
Generally, your boss is the one that hires or fires you, and controls your wages, benefits and perks, and can chew you out when you screw up,….right?
By those criterion, the vast majority of “the executive” do NOT work for the POTUS, he is NOT their “boss”;
CONgress is.
Each POTUS appoints a small army of “Political appointees”, who DO work “at the pleasure of the President” i.e. he CAN fire them at any time, for any or no reason.
Ostensibly, they take leadership positions in various departments, from Defence to Labor. However, the employees ‘under’ them don’t view them as “bosses”, so much as a new manager, sent in by Corporate who is clueless, and will be replaced in 4 or 8 years, so tolerate them, but don’t take them seriously, and just keep doing what you have been doing.
As for your first paragraph, it was actually during the BUSH administration that “Power” was consolidated, by fusing the FBI and CIA together, to better fight “the war on terror”, ostensibly.
If you don’t see the consolidation of power, in itself as wrong,…well then you just haven’t been paying attention.
Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Having SEEN and experienced this personally, as well as historically, our Founding Fathers tried to come up with a system that would balance the need for individual liberty, with the need for SOME governance.
To avoid absolute power, and minimise corrution, they attempted to DIVIDE the power up, as much as possible, into “naturally” competing elements.
States vs Federal, and 3 Federal Branches against each other. But, over many years the systems ‘checks and balances’ have been eroded, and what we see is too much power, in the hands of too few, which is the inevitable result of the consolidation of power.
Dutchman, thank you for taking time to reply.
“If you don’t see the consolidation of powCr, in itself as wrong,…well then you just haven’t been paying attention.”
Yes, I’ve been paying attention — and yes, I saw power consolidated to do wrong, which should not dismiss nor prevent the promise or action of consolidating power to do good.
Obama’s goals were helped a lot because he had a wing man and later wing woman whose goals and visions were consolidated with his own. The Sessions DOJ being unconsolidated with the presidency was a huge waste of time.
As for macro consolidation, a majority conservative SCOTUS will far better fulfill and maintain the originalist goals of the union.
I see still digesting,…
IMHO, the Founders STARTED with the position of “Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely”, and then attempted to design a system to counter this “natural” tendency.
So, to counter this by saying, in effect “SOME consolidation is good, if its for the RIGHT reasons” is a ‘slippery slope’, road to hell line of thinking.
Bottom line is, there are SOME people who are DRAWN to power, like flies to sh*t.
They may justify it to themselves and others as wanting the Power to do “Good” as they see it, but the truth is they crave power for powers sake, and its an addiction; a thimblefuls too much, and a barrels not enough.
They will ALWAYS justify being given/taking MORE, “for the common good”; thats the essence of the Conmunist sales pitch, stripped of all rhetoric.
Founders recognised a Tyranny of 500, is just as bad as a Tyranny of ONE.
Hence, TWO Houses of Congress, as they recognised the Power to legislate is INHERENTLY the greatest Power.
Gradually, the “checks and balances” have been eroded.
There aren’t TWO parties, inherently contesting each other, in a free and open “marketplace of ideas”, there is ONE party, having a monopoly, and just like Faux POSES as the “Conservative alternative”, one face of the Uniparty presents itself as representing Conservative policies, while actually furthering the Uniparties goals.
Congress is NOT 535, legislating in the best interest of their constituencies, it is FOUR individuals.
Majority and Minority leaders of House and Senate have absolute power over their respective Houses.
They can contest each other, for power, as intended. Or, they can join forces, and have far more collective power.
The people attracted to such positions are almost inevitably those drawn to ever more power, hence cooperation rather than contest.
To me, much of the degradation of our system comes from a consolidation of Power in Congress, such as the perversion of “Advice and CONSENT”, and additionally the UNIPARTY’s perversion of a TWO party system.

I’m still re-reading (digesting) your comment….
The civil servants in each department must love reading tweets that dis their boss.
In the corporations where I’ve worked, management rebukes were all issued behind closed doors.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2018/02/27/obama-didnt-scandal-embarrassed-us-presidency/
that embarrassed him or his team. i.e. He was proud of his scandals.
I therefore join all the participants in this extraordinary celebration and all American Catholics, who see in President Donald Trump the greatest defender of the supreme values of Christian civilization: of life, from conception to natural death; of the natural family composed of one man and one woman and children; and of love for the homeland: One Nation under God! And, most importantly, he stands for defending the right to freely practice our Faith, thus allowing us more fully to honor God.
The presidential elections in November represent an epochal challenge, a biblical challenge, the outcome of which will be decisive not only for the United States of America but for the whole world.
It is necessary that all of you Catholics of America are well aware of the role that Providence has deigned to entrust to your President, and that you are aware of the extraordinary battle that He is preparing to fight against the demonic forces of the deep state and against the New World Order. I am at your side with fervent prayer, together with millions of Catholics and with all people of good will throughout the world.
Our trust rests in God, the Almighty, whose right hand always works wonders.

Remeber in 2016 when all the Dems were telling us voter fraud didn’t exist?
God bless President Donald J. Trump!
Well, I would assume whoever the nominee is will be flying or driving to D.C. tomorrow. You would think some cub reporters would be camped outside their homes to see if they depart or not.

Democrats have never had a need for the truth.
However they always covet further violence.
I wonder how Pelosi would feel if she had no political power and someone in political power said she was guilty of murder even after a grand jury said she wasn’t. She is a depraved human being. And if anyone takes the law into his own hands on this, it is on her.
America is “in crisis” because Democrats won’t behave, won’t stop rioting and arson, and won’t join us in Making America Great Again
If there’s so called “division”, the cause is on them
Pres Trump is not “divisive”
Democrats are divisive by not joining with us and being Americans
And that’s what I got to say about that
“And dats da name o dat tune” Baretta (played by actor, Robert Blake)
Right nimrodman-“And dats da name o dat tune!” Baretta played by Robert Blake
Not only inciting violence, but also undermining a grand jury decision and the rule of law.

It was also a nasty, rainy day and the Gov. tried to get it cancelled. Amazing.
A SEA of RED!!!! WOWZA and in the RAIN!!!!!! Way to go Virginia people!!!!!!
Don’t want to take away anything from the successful rally, but remember that Newport News is a Navy/military area with lots of veterans and patriotic Americans. It’s not representative of Virginia as a whole, especially the liberal-dominated Northern Virginia, Charlottesville, and Richmond areas which are the highest percentage of the state population.
The Virginia state legislature voted in as majority democratic for the first time in decades last year won’t be up for re-election until 2021, so Old Dominion voters have to rally to defeat them then. In the meantime, they are still pushing 2nd Amendment restrictions, and are passing anti-gun agendas down to the county level.
“Gun owners are beginning to face heavier restrictions throughout northern Virginia as localities are passing ordinances to prohibit the carrying of weapons on some public property.
Local governing boards in Arlington County, Fairfax County, the city of Alexandria and the city of Falls Church have passed ordinances that prohibit people from carrying weapons in publicly owned buildings, publicly owned parks and at certain events that require a permit. Loudoun County is considering a similar ordinance.
Violations in the four localities will be punishable by a Class 1 misdemeanor when they go into effect. In Virginia, a Class 1 misdemeanor carries penalties of up to a year in prison and a $2,500 fine.”

Agreed. If he could pull this off in Fairfax, Arlington, Richmond, and Henrico counties, then that’s another story. The Newport News turnout is still impressive.
We have to start somewhere. This image is for the real Trump supporters and for the easily swayed sheep who will follow a movement (even a bad one). So we have to convince them that the MAGA Movement is massive and that it is time to get on board. They can contrast these photos with Jill/Joe “rallies” with 5 to 10 attendees and, perhaps, be herded to vote for MAGA. Most people like to root with the winning team and their fans. POTUS is from a television background. He know the subliminal message that a rally can portray to the sheeple.
I have to say… I’m disappointed. I just don’t believe them anymore. #BrokenPromises
I think they did, her husband.you first??
More broken promises, from the libbies.
A bunch SWORE they would move to Canada or New Zealand, if “Trump” won in 2016, but didn’t.
THATS because both countries have sensible immigration policies, and wouldn’t let them in!

She needs issue a simple and direct response:

Done
End of story
Ask again, you’ll get the same answer
I’m old enough to remember—RBG didn’t recuse after she verbally involved herself in 2016 election.
Why? The Justices obama appointed didn’t recuse themselves from Federal suits involving obama policies!

The Idiots Guide To Gender Identity Hieroglyphs
Your children are memorizing this chart in school. Just sayin’.
Ok, class. What’s the Atomic Mass of “Agender: Version 2”? Anybody? Agender: Version2? No? Ok… wait… did I see a hand in the back? No? Ok…
Howwww aaboouuut… “Bigender Androgyn And Neutrois”… Atomic… Mass… Anybody? Sheryl? Brenda? No? Tommy? Tommy, come on, you know this!
Alright… come on guys… you need to know this stuff. It’s going to be on the final!
Wow, looking at that chart, somebody has WAY too much time on their hands, trying to come up with all these categories, rediculous names and symbols for them.
And we can supposedly get fined $250,000 for “misgendering” someone?
Insanity is barely discernible, in our rear view mirror!
“If a trans-national trans-gender woman (a man, actually) sets out from Chicago on an eastbound train at 8am, and a slightly butch yet still anatomically female “rough boy” leaves New York at the same time on a westbound, in how many states can they legally marry and be accepted by the local country club?”
Hell – I don’t care about the gender fixation, at least get ’em to learn a little Algebra, dammit …
Maybe anyone who identifies as anything other that the first two top row left ought to have their preferred symbol tattooed onto the middle of their forehead so that the majority of the population (the sane ones) have a remote idea of how to approach and identify who or what is behind said tattoo.
“have their preferred symbol tattooed onto the middle of their forehead”
Don’t think they haven’t thought of this. And by that I mean: not voluntary.
Good one, nimrod.
Vulcan – except that they’re too smart to bother with astrology.
Just a reminder that these crackpots pushing 101 flavors of sexual identity are sexual deviants, perverts, and pedophiles.
Good idea for a new board game for the woke Left!

I don’t understand this crap at all. Why is the lion’s share of blame not on Breona Taylor and her boyfriend? Taylor for her seemingly being drawn to drug dealers and her boyfriend for shooting at the police? Your skin color could be plaid and the police or anyone else for that matter with a gun would return fire when fired upon.
Divide and conquer. It’s always been the motto of the leftists politicians.
Well I know the politicians do that, but these dip$hit pro athletes and other “celebrities” seemingly gloss over the facts of the case and only see skin color, shot by police. It’s infuriating.
Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal are the only two who have said anything so far.
No knock raids are not a good idea.
I agree, but it wasn’t a no knock raid. That’s another lie. They knocked and no one answered, when they went in they were fired upon. Her boyfriend used her as a human shield. She wasn’t sleeping in bed.
If you date a drug dealer, you are taking a risk.
However, it was a no knock warrant but the cops knocked anyway.
So what is the issue? Doesn’t matter what kind of warrant it was. What matters is what actually happened.
No knock warrants are very important to have in specific circumstances. Law enforcement and the judiciary know this. If you know you have a criminal who is likely armed and a voluntary accomplice involved based on past actions and surveillance, you are still supposed to knock first? Nah. When they did they got shot at through the door in this case. Taylor being a police officer is not even relevant to the event other than knowing she also had access to a weapon. What is relevant is hiring and retaining a police officer who has previously and continued to violate her oath. She paid for it with her life unfortunately. However, it was her personal choices that put herself in that situation.
Here it is TradeBait. If you are wrong and enter on a no knock warrant, an innocent homeowner may fire on you in all justification. If you have a perp inside, why not wait it out and nab him when he leaves or surround the place and let the situation resolve.
Too many police and accidental deaths occur on no knock raids.
There is also considerable evidence that she had previously dated a drug dealer and was the person designated to carry the drugs and money. THAT’S WHY the police had a warrant for HER-not the boyfriend.
She lost her job as an EMT because she was stopped in a car with a dead body in the trunk. Her story, at the time, was she had borrowed her boyfriend’s car and didn’t know she was carrying a dead body.
She did not know there was a dead body in the trunk. He let her drive a car with a dead body in the trunk. Kind of a horror show folks.
I find no particular reason to believe she didn’t know there was a body in the trunk. Lay down with dogs, wake up with fleas.
Totally depends on the circumstances.
Sometimes total surprise required. To preserve evidence. To ensure capture. To increase safety of the police or agents.

The Daily Mail headline makes it sound like Boris Johnson is cutting WHO funding, but
the article says that if the WHO investigates the origins of the Chinese virus, Boris will INCREASE their funding by 30%. He is also giving big bucks to the Bill Gates vaccine foundation.
Time will tell if Boris actually makes good on cutting funding to the WHO. His threat sounds wishy-washy to me. Unlike our President’s.
The Daily Mail is in spin cycle. Clicks and giggles.
Tell Boris we have the cure. HCQ & Zinc.
That’s not a cure, it’s a treatment. We have never cured a virus. All we can do it help the body fight it.
I know it seems like I’m splitting hairs, but we need to be smarter than the Dems.
NEVER HAVE CURE A VIRUS IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT…even people that I thought were smart, a surgical nurse and her bubby, nurse are waiting for a vaccine to come out and then they’ll be good-to-go!!! SMART PEOPLE…..YES SIREE BOBBIE!!!!! (/s).
I think it’s funny we have never “cured” the common cold, but everyone expects a cure for a manipulated virus from China. Instead of critical race being pushed, we need critical thinking skills to be the priority.
I am on day 10 of ChiCom-19. No one offered me anything.
Green Tea and Zinc can outperform HCQ. Fever is in the double digits again and my lungs feel much better.
I am 69, with COPD, and Congestional Heart Disease. If I can whip it so can you others.
Look up green tea + zinc
What a disappointment Boris has turned out to be.
He’s a start. The pendulum did not swing in the commie left direction overnight. So-so Britain may take a few years to repair its society.
Excellent!!!! Pretty soon there will be a coalition of governments worldwide, that demand the truth.
China will be exposed for what they did to the world deliberately!!! Then let the “woke” politicians and money grubbing corporations explain their support for doing business with the CCP!!!
I so look forward to all the exposure for many, many people!!
WHO investigated, says it came from a wet market. Europeans spread it around. Problem solved! Boris increases $$$upport
Wow, I would almost be tempted to think “maybe theres hope for Europe, yet”,…but no, I don’t think so.
The EU is toast, and with the islamisation forced by the EU, and the economic dessimation that is inevitably going to occur, when PDJT lowers the hammer on them, over trade, I think a new alignment will occur.
Still, as “divide and conquer” if PDJT can get europe to align against CHINA, thats a good thing. I’ll take it, for now.
Poland, thankfully, and reportedly The Baltics have learned not to go the way of Europe. The low birth rate is a disaster.
We’ve been bailed out by a surprising spike in late 30s / early 40s births, and Latino immigration. Many are Catholic.
Hungary as well!
Yes, Poland and Hungary. The Baltics hold a special place in human history, and MAYBE GB can be salvaged, ….the EU leadership is a SWAMP, and a mess. Conmunism lite, masquerading as Socialism, and utterly dependant on our $, to keep their system afloat, I Don’t think they can continue their Social programs, once trade is fairly balanced, and NATO reset.
…SO THEY WILL BE LOCK UP IN BASEMENT TILL….X-MAS??????

When Democrat officials do occasionally face accountability it’s often because they crossed or pissed off other Democrat officials…. such as happened with the Democrat former AG of Pennsylvania who was brought down by fellow Democrats.
Yup. It’s always a case of “Hey you dumb@$$! You almost exposed and brought down the rest of us. We’ll make sure that doesn’t happen again.”
It sure as heck won’t happen from the Republican wing of the Uniparty. They just squawk a little, if even that, and move on.
The former Mayor of Atlanta, Bill Campbell.
Went to jail because he got greedy, stealing
money and influence from the big boys behind
the scenes. Including the Cox Media Bunch.
The amount of ink spilled on Campbell’s misdeeds
was flat amazing. The AJC and local news stations
gave Campbell a free pass on his corruption for
years. Until he started muscling in on them and their
behind the scenes friend’s turf. Then it was wall to
wall coverage, news blurbs, longgggg articles. 1
AFTER this election, I definitely think that it is about time to bring these NEWS ORGANIZATION in, sit them down and tell them that they are not in the “propaganda” business anymore and RESCIND Obummmer’s EO allowing News Orgs to dupe American Cititzens!!! IF they don’t stop…SIC THE DOJ ON THEM FOR PROPAGANDA AND PULL THEIR LISCENSE(S)!!!!
Dump them all. Arrest their CEOs being communists and deport them. No communists in this country. We should be privileged to have all-American news/cable enterprise/IT – and only American “airwaves.”
IF the News Orgs cannot publish the TRUTH…then they are considered an enemy of the American People…
Before the election! Today! Maybe cities could just start the lawsuits. One more day of Fake News is one too many.
Need to repeal NYTs vs Sullivan first!

Judge Sullivan and the DC Court of Appeals are turning out to be the unintentional heroes of the Flynn saga. In their unseemly quest to destroy Flynn, they refused to let DOJ drop case, and now we’re getting some of the most explosive documents about Special Counsel probe yet.
https://mobile.twitter.com/MZHemingway/status/1309465118795849730
The Flynn case ALWAYS had the potential to blow up in their faces.
Lawfare always seems to have a “penny wise, pound poor” approach, where they are focused on short term, over long term, and have no plan “B”.
Amasing how their nefarious plans keep blowing up in their faces, and nothing in their actions or words indicates they LEARN from their experiences.
They keep doing the SAME things, over and over, and (I guess) expecting different results.
Insane, stupid or divine intervention?

Indeed Dutch, it is amazing how their nefarious plans keep blowing up in their faces and their power grab is exposed. I feel like if we keep pushing back against these liberals we will reach a tipping point and the dam will burst. The main advantage they had was they were hidden in plain sight. I am a little worried about the silence from the CIA though.
Yeah, they are trying the Defences I listed, awhile back in several posts.
The SOG (Some Other Guy) did it, defence.
FBI points at CIA, CIA points at FBI,..
The “Incompetent, NOT criminal!” Defence, i.e. “it was Russian Disinfo, etc.
These are classic defence strategies, and in a courtroom, they CAN work.
While the Prosecution is generally required by circumstances to present ONE narrative of the crime, the Defence is under no such restriction, and so can present numerous theories of the crime, each of which is designed to create “reasonable doubt”, and they only need ONE juror.
Not sure how well that applies to “the Court of Public Opinion”.
Me, too. Nobody is talking much about Halper, Misfud etc. lately.
Those operations, to manufacture the appearance to establish the basis for Russian collusion seem to come from CIA, and yet the focus seems to be on FBI and DOJ.
Its a mess, for sure. Graham is muddying the waters, NOT getting to “the bottom” (which would be his and Congressional leadetships involvement) as expected,…but too much of Congressional leaderships actions supporting the coup are right out in plain sight, so I don’t THINK it will work, long term.
And, assuming we survive this, I don’t think they will be able to re-write history. That is to say, when this is “looked back on” in 20-30 years, I think McConnell, Ryan etc will stand naked and exposed.
Is it possible Judge Sullivan has been on our side all along? Possibly appeasing the left while giving Sidney Powell time to gather information? Dragging it out until the time is right? It seems that Sidney once adored Judge Sullivan. Could this have been theatrics?
That line of reasoning has been argued. As a fact, by dragging this out, whether intended or not, allowed these bombshell declassified documents to be revealed in a court of law. The AG was given a conduit to release damning info whilst avoiding the political interference tag.
Exactly! How do you introduce evidence into the public sphere?
I meant to include you
Love all your posts – thank you
Robin and Dutchman
it’s always fun when treepers post my very own thoughts.
I have a twist.
– Maybe it does not matter whether Lawfare, Sullivan and the Deep State players are working against us.
– Maybe there is an unseen force or forces (some would say God) working towards an outcome unknown by us.
Personally I daily put special emphasis on the USA Uncle Sams prayer – “Please save this land from those who seek to destroy it”
Sometimes I wonder if we really have ‘free will’.
But then I remember ‘Good things happen to those who work their butts off’
No Robin. Sullivan is simply a dick!!!
Make that a CORRUPT dick-no offense to ordinary dicks!
None taken.
No.
Just no.
What makes this great is the dims can’t claim our President and Barr are being political. They are being allowed to launder these bombshells due to the actions of Sullivan.
WHY did Sullivan suspense Flynn sentencing for so long?
The Judge was in a rage over the guilty pleas, a reasonable person could see the pleas were coerced.
He then stopped the process, gave Flynn time to ditch counsel and hire Ms. Powell.
Why?

Rush, on Friday, was discussing the diffuse fear of young liberal women in America today.
Unlike conservative women, they fear all the normal responsibilities of life: getting married, having children, growing up in general.
Their absurd tolerance for rioting and crime in general is a defense mechanism: they’re trying to strike an obscene bargain with the criminal class they fear so much. Naturally, to be a woman is to have fear, and women without strong men in their lives certainly know the meaning of being routinely fearful.
While defunding the police (because police cause crime? that’s the trope) is what young liberal women pretend to want, what they really want is safety. The leftist antipathy to uniforms will mutate into a surveillance state. Cameras, spies, informers, secret police will be everywhere. But few uniforms.
If you doubt the advent of the surveillance state, note the nearly useless introduction of contact tracing to fight Co-vid 19. The cellphone is a dream come true to the secret policeman. How long before not carrying your phone is a crime?
Will Siri and Alexa be issued a police rank? Sergeant Siri of the internet police? It’s only fair.
I laughed at the cartoonist Scott Adams: he describes himself as a libertarian (yeah, he smokes pot) but he’s all for contact tracing.
According to my cell phone, I haven’t left my house in 4 months [wink, wink, nudge].
I’m old enough to remember when no-one had a cell phone. So is my kid. What was once impossible and therefore nonexistent, is now considered indispensable. I figured if I’ve done it before, I can do it again. The phone stays Home Alone.
Or, as a mischievous Treeper suggested a few months back, tape your phone to the bottom of a seat on a city bus. Track THAT, Big Brother!
;o)
JMO but social media and the cellphone has done more damage to this country than most anything. It is a great tool when actually needed (phone) but now it is just a habit.
In my estimation, when a phone became a computer is when all heck broke lose.
To not have separate systems of communications for separate types of communications on separate devices for communications is a recipe for chaos which appears to be where we are presently.
Bringing order out of chaos is one of the reasons I will be voting Donald J. Trump for president in 2020 — see clearly!
A thought accrued to me regarding the inevitably 2nd wave mass hysteria currently boiling away, ready to be dished up to us once again. Now they know we are on to them regarding the massive discrepancy between the new “wave” of positive “cases” (testing) and the number of ICU and deaths, and hospital admissions as well. So, thinking like they would, I would on the lookout for stories/sources and whether there is a rise in patients being admitted “liberally”, and/or transferred to high care at the slightest discretion – a patient might report “I don’t know why they put me high care, I was fine??” Apologies if my faith in our health care system is somewhat dimmed. They NEED those numbers to continue the fear, and get their mail in – and they’ll do/say anything to ensure the sheep remain fearful.
The health care workers I know are just as fed up as we are and would never use patients as pawns in a political game. Most of the doctors who are sick enough to do something like that no longer work in patient care, hospitals try to weed out the sociopaths like Fauci. They end up doing research or working for the government.
I know three healthcare workers who are still drinking the koolaide with masks, fear, and social distancing. One is apparently my Dr. Unfortunately she is in a huge group practice aligned with a State hospital corporation. Who knows what she really thinks?
President Trump has just re-tweeted this one, so guess what is on his mind (besides SC appt. and many other things):

Very stupid thread by Lanny Davis. Anyway, look at the 2016 election results by county. They are not getting any whole states.

NOTE: You know what happens if they actually did split-off into a new country? They’d immediately start dividing up the remaining USA that they didn’t take, via the same kind of destruction and division they employ now in the country-at-large.

Totally agree! Go away, blue states, and take your BLM domestic terrorism, high taxes, secular progressivism and gender confusion with you!
Make sure you put up a fence.
Don’t want your trash trying to come back either.
Throwing toys out of the pram, are we?
You already have the Blue Hives Lanny, I would say we have you surrounded.
You can eliminate your police, firemen, EMT’s and let the games begin. We’ll sit with our bibles and guns and watch you idiots devour yourselves, literally. But, you have to stay in your Blue Utopias. The only way out is, once you set foot in Free America, you’ll be transported to your dream Marxist country of Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, China or other Blue Hives of your choice. Lanny at your age cutting sugar cane will be tough, but you’re a smart guy, you’ll figure it out.
So I say, knock yourselves out, Lanny.
Meanwhile in Free America, Old Glory will be waving proudly everywhere, we’ll be having BBQ, celebrate the 4th of July, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Columbus Day, Memorial Day, go to church, Hunt, Fish, days on the beach, picnics, boys will be boys and girls will be girls, etc.
While you run and hide from the savages trying to put you on the menu. A good time had by all.
Note: “The lady doth protest too much, methinks” I wonder if Lanny is culpable legally with any shenanigans at the Clinton Foundation? He’s a long time Clintonista, hmmm…
Put that down, jackwagon. America doesn’t belong to you, it belongs to US.
What is it with Democrats named “Davis” and secession?
LOL! That’s a good one!!!
Dear Lanny: There was a WAR. Our side won.
Sincerely,
The Republic
Do it Sarah!
That would be great. Sarah gave her daddy (Frank) fits, she might as well make it generational.
Get’em Sarah!
The voters in Alaska should have already kicked Lisa to the curb. Lisa will just switch to the democrat party and Sarah will get to beat her twice. (I believe Lisa would switch before the primary).Hell she might do that within this next month.
not considering..do it Sarah !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was reading on Brietbart story that some Dems are now “questioning”
Amy Barrett adopting kids from HAITI…is that the tactic like she did something
wrong or snatched the kids.. Someone Named Dana Houle ( A Dem operative )
made a long thread about it implying things.. I guess some responded with
“the clinton foundation” to which he acknowledged yes they made things worse.
But watch the question see if they bring up her adoption.
POTUS should make a tweet saying .well Amy would not be the only
Supreme Court Justice who adopted kids from a foreign country..should
we be fair and check out that as well..that would shut them up.
Mention this a couple days ago. They will make an issue of her adopting black kids.
There was a movie in the 90’s about this. Jessica Lange adopted a black baby who had been abandoned. Later the mother, Halle Berry, cleaned up and wanted to get her son back. By now he was 4 and the only family he’d ever known was white. Samuel L. Jackson played the lawyer who argued that a white family couldn’t possibly raise a black child properly. The mother won custody. However, in the end she had to call the adopted mother for help, it seems the little boy didn’t react well to being taken away from the only family he’d ever known. The message was that love is what matters, not skin color.
Amazing how we have the same people working in Hollywood today as we did then, and they’ve all changed their tunes so completely. Now it’s all about skin color for them, nothing else matters. It’s the definition of racism.
That’s just so completely the Dems’ style: Take a thoroughly noble act…and forcibly turn it inside out to demonize your target.
Now some irrelevant leftist named Brougher (attempting to use his own history as an adoptee) is arguing that trans-racial adoption is always “fraught with trauma and potential harm” making ACB’s adoptions “deeply concerning.”
Behold how, in the Left’s hands, compassionate rescue transforms into heartless abuse.
Orwell would be proud.
I’ll trade ACB and John Roberts easily if POTUS gets to appoint 2 new one’s!
Well – I guess Angelina Jolie, Sandra Bullock and Madonna will lose their adopted children too?
Archbishop Viganò: Trump is ‘preparing to fight against the demonic forces of the deep state’
‘The presidential elections in November represent an epochal challenge, a biblical challenge, the outcome of which will be decisive not only for the United States of America but for the whole world.’
Wed Sep 23, 2020 – 12:52 pm EST
Editor’s Note: The following is a note the Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò sent to the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast (NCPB), which was held today. The event organizers declined to read it aloud at the event, which this year took place online. LifeSiteNews publishes it in full below.
September 23, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – With deep emotion I have learned that President Donald J. Trump will be taking part in the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast on 23 September.
On this occasion, Attorney General William Barr will receive the NCPB’s Christifideles Laici Award (Christ’s Faithful Laity), named after the Apostolic Exhortation On the Laity by Pope John Paul II.
I would like to make myself present on this memorable occasion, in which I participated with great enthusiasm as Apostolic Nuncio during the years of my mission in Washington, D.C. (2011-2016).
I therefore join all the participants in this extraordinary celebration and all American Catholics, who see in President Donald Trump the greatest defender of the supreme values of Christian civilization: of life, from conception to natural death; of the natural family composed of one man and one woman and children; and of love for the homeland: One Nation under God! And, most importantly, he stands for defending the right to freely practice our Faith, thus allowing us more fully to honor God.
The presidential elections in November represent an epochal challenge, a biblical challenge, the outcome of which will be decisive not only for the United States of America but for the whole world.
It is necessary that all of you Catholics of America are well aware of the role that Providence has deigned to entrust to your President, and that you are aware of the extraordinary battle that He is preparing to fight against the demonic forces of the deep state and against the New World Order. I am at your side with fervent prayer, together with millions of Catholics and with all people of good will throughout the world.
Our trust rests in God, the Almighty, whose right hand always works wonders.
+ Carlo Maria Viganò,
Titular Archbishop of Ulpiana
Former Apostolic Nuncio of Washington, D.C. (2011-2016)

In preparation for the battle “against the demonic forces of the deep state and against the New World Order”:
Psalm 91…. King James Version
1.He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2.I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3.Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4.He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5.Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6.Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7.A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8.Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9.Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10.There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11.For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12.They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13.Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14.Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15.He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16.With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Good Saturday morning read; wanted to share.

A real journalist.
For some reason, and maybe it’s just me, but the information that Project Veritas exposes, always important, gets lost in the fast-paced nature of today’s world and by the drip-drip-drip process of dragging out their information, it falls into some strange memory hole and when they eventually get around to the big climax of their story the rest of the world has already moved on.
Wish they would change their presentation format, might make a real difference for making a real difference.

By saying what people are afraid to say, he gives us permission to say it.
Yes, he gives us permission to say it and see it. Like the boy who yells out “The Emperor has no clothes” and everyone realizes the illusion.
They are also commies, as we know. Anything for ComChina. Our President was being kind.
I agree.
Great AD!!!!!!!
Very cute – watched twice! We need more superheroes in our Trumplican party
I tho’t it was a very cool combo, and it held you waiting for what was next.
Defunding cops really helped solve problems in Minniapistan.

Minnesota halts COVID-19 study after reports of intimidation
Minnesota officials have stopped a COVID-19 testing study after multiple reports that state and federal public health workers were greeted by racial and ethnic slurs as they went door-to-door
lol
I wonder how many sheep were actually tested by the goon squad? That is the more likely
reason behind ending the program.
They would be as welcome here as a lady who tried to deliver blm signs to the wrong address.(mine)
That was fun.
400 samples collected.

I have mixed feelings on this one. With Canada’s very warm welcome/support to Muslim “refugees”, Chinese businesses and EU policies, would rather not increase opportunities for more convenient transport between our countries.
