Remember when Obama closed off water to fishing off the coast of Maine – and Trump re-opened them? Did the closed off water have to do with creating a security lane for the landing of watercraft by Obama’s “friends.” Chinese, maybe?
This doesn’t sound too crazy now, does it?

It’s a question about information.
I’m questioning the information, not validating it.
Maine is not exactly an ideal landing spot for the Chinese. Wrong ocean.
Chinese military are in Canada.
This theory has legs.
I actually don’t think the bombing part is true, but what about the location?
This is the same wide-eyed wild rumors that Hal Turner has been promoting on his show over the past few days. He posted photos of army tanks (actually mobile howitzers of some sort) being moved by train, claiming they were being sent to the battle zone. But on a hunch, I went image-match searching and found the exact same images on the web from 2 months ago. Those older image posts were accompanies with entirely rational explanations under them plus a post by a witness who lived in the area who knew that they were very old surplus armor that was being scrapped or refurbished and sent by rail from storage near the former Loring AFB out to California.
Thanks for taking out the trash.
Good research. Also at the time, the leftist Hollywood types were sending out those pictures saying Trump was coming for everyone leading up to the election…same time their pictures of USPS mailbox scams were going around.
Oracle’s moving Hdqrtrs. from CA. to Austin, TX.
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/11/oracle-is-moving-its-headquarters-from-silicon-valley-to-austin-texas.html
Oh lordy. Austin has room for zero more people and everything that entails. I can’t imagine these companies think the long commutes, horrendous traffic, and sky-high housing costs are a good way of life.?
if they’re coming from the bay, it will still seem like heaven on those fronts.
Lol. If Austin has room for zero more people, CA coastal metros have room for negative one million more people.
I hear ya….but the infrastructure is not there and it is mess. People that used to love Austin are getting out. Talked to someone the other day that said they didn’t even want to visit there anymore. I guess this is how cities/counties turn blue, huh?
Remember what happened to Colorado.
they are getting ready for secession…
I live about 20 miles outside of Austin. Time to move; I’m thinking Junction.
Try Llano, Burnett, Bertram not so far to drive, Junction’s kinda out there
Um … read it again .. they are moving FROM Silicon Valley
Fair warning. Every single one of those employees and their spouses will vote blue.
Austin Econ Developer is killing it! All that new business after they defunded the police and have double digit increase in violent crime.
Whomever he/she is deserves some of that police money for a raise.
You mean the Econ Developer is killing Austin.
From what I have observed (admittedly from a distance via the internet) Austin has been steadily turning into another Portland OR.
They’ll be bringing thousands of Indians with them. The town Oracle is in is 99% Indian.
Worked for Oracle for 20 years. This is pretty huge. I wonder if Larry will relocate like Elon did or just stay on Lanai island of which he owns 98%?
I just saw this tweet. ROFL.
he should have been a supreme court justice
If Ted argues the case in the SC and helps Trump stay in office, then there’s a very good chance he WILL be the next nominee. Or if he doesn’t want that, I think it would make him the front-runner for president in 2024. I like DeSantis a lot better, but no doubt Cruz could put himself in the driver’s seat.
Testing
??
Stop the steal!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-g9eftIaUc
Millions for test kits that didn’t work. Imagine, in the State of Maryland, we went from Martin O’Malley, “What’s in your wallet?” to Larry Hogan, “Just wear the damned mask”. You can’t make this crap up…
Larry Hogan so wanted to embarrass President Trump he hacked up this
scheme through his wife’s ties to South Korea. A total waste of
Maryland’s tax payers’ money. Its all falling apart around him now.
Just goes to show that whatever they are accusing you of its what
they are doing.
This is the guy who parades his moral superiority over our President every
chance he gets. He proudly announced he threw away his vote.
His hatred for President Trump goes deep. I’m sure the demonrats in
Maryland will happily aid his downfall. Could not happen to a nicer guy.
At first, it seemed Larry deserved the benefit of the doubt since he was a RINO maneuvering through Maryland’s crazy democrats.
That grace period is long over. His quest for the U.S. presidency in 2024 is embarrassing. He thinks he has the creds (Asian wife, successful governorship, etc). Too bad nobody has the guts to tell him his efforts will be wasted, as the public doesn’t vote for a short ugly toads.
Wow wasn’t the wife of the “Republican” governor involved in the whole test kit thing, she is South Korean. Larry Hogan is a worthless POS.
Here is an example of how reliable wuflu test kits are. From citizenfreepress.com:

“Alexa, reverse Scott Adams’ outer door locks.”
true story: about a month after september 11, 2001 scott adams posted a pro-iraq-invasion diatribe on his blog.
I replied that Bush was using 9/11 as a pretext to an invasion without evidence that iraq had anything to do with the attacks, and he ridiculed that opinion and called me ‘small minded’.
i pretty much started ignoring his comic strip and his blog after that. he’s an ok writer but his video presence is atrocious.
so my tiny violins are playing for him now.
Wisconsin Supreme Court will hear case, scheduled oral arguments for noon tomorrow
New: Wisconsin Supreme Court to hear Trump lawsuit tomorrow at noon
Can I make a prediction guided by precedent or will I be a “troll” for doing so?
When we win you want to be able to celebrate with us right? Hint hint
We even get to hear about Obama tomorrow
Sure looks like more smoke and mirror… whittling the days away… another proposed investigation with no action at the end
Unbelievable watching the voter fraud exposed and the state government does nothing…
What a farce … of a democracy.. we have all been had
I believe I heard that the Wisconsin head of elections can certifi the vote anyway he want.. looks like the Chinese only need to corrupt few officials.

We must be over the target now. Demcommies are going wild accusing us of sedition and many other unprovable criminal activities. At this point, I don’t give a rip what they say about anything.
After they get 90% of the media to perform a news blackout on the fraud evidence, they are righteously indignant that us low lifes would have the temerity to claim that there was anything wrong or improper about the way the election was run. This, after spending 9 months trying to destroy our economy with a political response to a medical issue in order to allow them to claim that we had to go to mail-in balloting for the safety of everyone. We are definitely over the target!

This is outstanding!
no, it’s disputed!

With Peter Schweizer…should be excellent
Just announced the Supreme Court will NOT take up the Texas case.
The reason because Texas has no standing “they did not demonstrate harm”. It was predictable, these justices, other than Alito, are cowards.
Just notice the “notification” bell is back! Thanks.
I am not sure how reliable all of this is but the Chinese on the border has been confirmed by a friend who is a former officer in the Canadian military.
https://twitter.com/LLinWood/status/1337530514698362882
Why would Canada allow this if they know the Chinese intent is hostile against USA?
Canada is yet another globalist nation state, Like XI, Trudeau does what his masters order.
I do not think the Chicoms or the sparkly socksers are THAT stupid.
What does this mean? Where are these troops exactly? Are they waiting for PT to invoke the EO? So, this was the Commies’ plan all along – wait for the EO, then ‘invade” causing the troops we’d need internally to now fight an external army? My son, who is in the Army, told me his barrack-mate is a Chinese citizen, yet in the US military. A Chinese citizen wearing a US military uniform. I know that military bases host troops from other countries for “joint” training purposes but I don’t understand this rationale.
Call me crazy, but I think President Trump wants the Supreme Court to make a corrupt decision.
Why? If the Supreme Court fails to uphold the Constitution, they render themselves MOOT. They would, in effect, be violating their oaths of office and therefore giving up any powers vested in them by the Constitution. Even voting against the Constitution should make a supreme court judge automatically disqualified to sit on the court.
Think about that! If the Supreme Court rules in favor of the fraudulent states or fails to uphold the Constitution, THEY GIVE UP THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL POWER!!! Anyone who fails to uphold the constitution in their official capacity automatically give up their power. They are no longer protected by a Constitution that they violate.
This cuts Trump FREE and unfettered. This gives Trump the freedom to not only declare martial law/insurrection, but also the legitimate right to raise a militia of the people, by the people, for the people.
This would give Trump the full autonomy to expel the swamp and enact an honest election from the ground up, or simply correct the results of the Nov 3 election based on forensic audits of every single state for national and local elections.
News just announce the Supreme Court will NOT take up the Texas Case.
I don’t see that logic entirely. Wouldn’t we WANT SCOTUS to uphold the Constitution? SCOTUS is the last beacon of sanity in this country. I would not think he would want to actually HAVE to invoke the EO but only use as LAST resort. SCOTUS not ruling by the Constitution, to me, means that democracy or the republic, whichever you choose to call it, is TRULY dead. Then the realization that life, as we’ve THOUGHT we’ve known it, is truly gone in this country.
The Republic is We the People! We are not dead! Never give your consent to defeat.
A Republic means that we have to consent. I do not give validity to criminals and corruption. Always pursue the truth.
To keep us from enforcing the constitution. Yes we would prefer the court do it through debate.
He can’t do that unless foreign interference or vote flipping is proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. All on Ratcliffe now or the still unproven rumors that the military caught Dominion in the act
I am not a natural born citizen, but I took an oath to become a citizen as many good people have. To protect the country from enemies foreign and DOMESTIC.
Someone that violates or subverts the Constitution is an enemy of the people. The only power beyond the President, is We the People. The only power beyond Congress, is We the People. The only power beyond the Supreme Court is We the People.
The buck stops with us. Learn history. Live history. Fight for the future.
1-he has to have justification
2-as much as you and I see the evidence, most still don’t
3-if he has the evidence we’ll know in the next week. The only way the EO can be executed is with proof of foreign interference.
4-what are you going to do, be a sniper and take people out? No revolution is organized. No Samuel Adam’s is out there right now at least. Against the US Military we’re Palestenians throwing rocks against the IDF. So unless the military leads this, which would happen if the President does produce unquestionable proof. It’s not happening. They won’t, they can’t follow without that proof

Wisconsin Supreme Court takes up Trump case after circuit court judge dismissed
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/wisconsin-supreme-court-takes-up-trump-case-after-circuit-court-judge-dismissed
I need a recorded vote, to see which traitors on the USSC voted down that submittal.
You can’t get that in an unsigned order, but since Alito and Thomas dissented only to not allowing Texas to file the case, you may regard the overall order to reject hearing the case as unanimous.
They’ve abandoned their oath. They just stuck a knife in the heart of the country: rule of law.
All.said no.
2 said they would hear a complaint ( alito Thomas)
Does the delay in Scotus ruling feel favorable or not?
Not….. they just ruled they won;t take the case..
This just appeared on the SC Docket:
The State of Texas’s motion for leave to file a bill of complaint is denied for lack of standing under Article III of the Constitution. Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections. All other pending motions are dismissed as moot. Statement of Justice Alito, with whom Justice Thomas joins: In my view, we do not have discretion to deny the filing of a bill of complaint in a case that falls within our original jurisdiction. See Arizona v. California, 589 U. S. ___ (Feb. 24, 2020) (Thomas, J., dissenting). I would therefore grant the motion to file the bill of complaint but would not grant other relief, and I express no view on any other issue.
Rule of Law has been abandoned.
Prepare for chaos.
there will only be chaos if we refuse to consent.
Who does have standing: when and where?
President joined the case as well, so he doesnt have standing either, apparently
He would only have standing to challenge the results of the state where he votes.
Nobody does. The wear a robe and say it’s decided, against you.
This is all about Article 1, Section 4, Clause 1. States have the individual power over all aspects of how they administer elections, and only Congress can regulate those actions.
In other words, one group of states can’t weigh in at all (no standing) on the election results of other states. Congress and individuals/groups within a state under question would still have standing, but it would require a Constitutional question to be decided. Nobody’s going to get away with any version of “THAT STATE OVER THERE CHEATED (but our results are okay).”
So the consent of the governed doesn’t matter; 18 states (49% of the population) believe the election was stolen/fraudulent and requires SCOTUS review. But SCOTUS says no.
Any individual state is permitted to run foul elections and no other state in the union has redress in our courts?
They are to stupid to know the next step. State separate from a corrupt union. Supreme Court knew this and still did it.
Correct. This is a state’s individual right reserved for them by the Constitution. Congress has oversight, not other states.
Nobody should trust any recommendation from the Federalist Society ever again on who should be a future federal judge.
These Federalist Society recommendations are hardly federalist in the first place so it is a downright shame these modern con artists dare to compare themselves to the Founding Fathers.
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1337541208831307776?s=20
SCOTUS just dismissed Texas case based on “No Standing”.
Cowards!
so whats the plan
Prepare. SCOTUS has left us on our own.
I don’t think POTUS has any other judicial options left. I don;t think he will go the Insurrection Act route so……
Yeah, right. I guess he’ll just walk out January 21 after being defrauded out of an election to turn himself over to the wolves?
Honey, you ain’t been paying attention to POTUS the last 4 years.
Hillary still free, Comey still free, Fauci still employed. Yes, Trump fights well but he isn’t Superman, and he will concede in the end.
The alternative is what? To tell the military to do something they just simply will not do. Unless you think a pentagon full of Obama holdovers will actually follow his orders any better than the rest of the govt has.
In the absence of more compelling direction, find something communist and nullify it.
Tomorrow is the plan. Flynn DC march
Welcome to the banana republik.
AKA Hell.
Supremes have spoken. its a no
So, states with Democrat Governors and State Supreme Courts have carte blanche to do whatever they want, particular with the FIB and DOJ taking sides.
The Supreme Court just opened the door for Democrat State Supreme Courts to modify and edit both state and federal election procedures and rules any way they like from now on without any push back from the Supreme Court.
Or secede. The court really fckd up on this one
SCOTUS rejects Texas appeal.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday brought an abrupt end to a long-shot lawsuit filed by Texas and backed by President Donald Trump seeking to throw out voting results in four states, dealing him a crushing setback in his quest to undo his election loss to President-elect Joe Biden.
The justices in a brief order rejected the bid by Texas to file the extraordinary challenge targeting Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin directly with the Supreme Court, as is allowed in some instances of litigation between states under a legal doctrine called “original jurisdiction.”

Hate it when I’m right.

Folks, there is NO VALUE in our continued association with the duplicitous traitors of the Uniparty. To include the GOP.
and since it went to moderation for having a strong reaction to it all, here it is again:
it brings me no joy at all… but once again, I plead with you all – STOP WAITING for the next hero to ride to our rescue!! no one is coming.
The hero is us.
[bleepity bleep] DECIDE ALREADY, PEOPLE.
I think you and I and only a couple of others have been
preaching to deaf ears.
Um, not sure if that is directed at me, or with me, but I’ve said all along that we have to act in a way that disrupts the status quo. To me, that starts with cutting the Republicans loose.
Step 1 in any plan to fix things is to stop doing stupid stuff that led to your problems in the first place.
History will record this failure, this breakdown of the rule of law, as the proximate cause of anarchy. The only question is severity and duration, and of course outcome.
History is written by the victors.
They will never record the truth.
Then don’t let them win.
So now what? Are there any options left? This is sickening.
I am genuinely disappointed that Kavan did not even join the disset with Alito and Thomas after Trump stood by Kavan from the relentless attacks by the Democrats.
Had Trump thrown away Kavan, he would have resigned as a federal judge by now.
F the Supreme Court with a 2 by 4 then. An especially the 3 election fraud supporters DJT nominated/appointed.
I guess the majority conservatives will enjoy being the minority when the pack the court.
Lifetime appointment.
What the hell do they care?
Most of them don’t.
At this point, Amy, Gorsuch, and Kavan are disqualified as conservatives because despite being part of the Federalist Society, they turned down this Texas lawsuit that raises important issues regarding federalism.
Looks like our only recourse is to Take To The Streets……………
No judge regardless of whether appointed by President Trump or not is going to negate the votes of a major Black run city no matter how much cheating and corruption went on during the election! Minorities in the United States have a Constitutionally protected right to stuff the ballot count with barkroom ballot factories just like an entitlement program. They have been doing right in your face for years and nobody in federal law enforcement or judiciary is going to stop it. There’s really no reason to have elections in the United States any longer!
the tragedy is that leaves nobody to defend the legal vote of blacks
You can’t dangle a black in front of every cart and to win the race. We aren’t a sick country.

The Supreme Court, less Alito and Thomas, are no longer constitutional officeholders. They do not represent We the People! They should be removed.

There it is. NO STANDING. Again. It is the lamest excuse ever put into legal terms. Wow.
People shouldn’t panic. If this decision is based on the constitution, it just means they will have to find another legal avenue.
You are joking right…
No standing 49 % of the popution of the United states have no standing… corrupt election.. that controll their lives.. have no standing…
MAGA
You’re right. This was a strategic mistake. It never matters how many parties try to sign on unless they have a right to sue in the first place.
We no longer live in a Constitutional Republic.
It’s time that we all prepare. Probably move to the freest states in anticipation of the coming civil war or a chance at peaceful secession.
The Republic is dead – now we find out if we will even be allowed to live freely or if we will be sent to camps and our property seized.
This decision by the Supreme Court will go down in history as starting the SCW (Second Civil War). I for one will never accept Hiding Biden or Kneepads as my president.
It’s a shame about America. I will miss it dearly.
Ouch, SCOTUS thru out the Texas case. Texas has no standing? How about the Constitution?
Whatever happened to “Everyone is entitled to their day in court”?
I guess it’s now “Everyone is entitled to their day in court … … … except Trump and his voters”.
What about the Parnell case?
I don’t understand what you are talking about. Are you misunderstanding a ruling by the Supreme Court of Wisconsin for a ruling by the U S Supreme Court? I just did a search and can’t find any ruling by the USSupreme Court. I could be misunderstanding myself. I heard it on the news and the news didn’t say Wisconsin, probably to spin the narrative and discourage MAGA.
“Everyone” here has been saying the US Supreme Court. I hope they (and me) are wrong and you are right. But doesn’t look that way. The gateway Pundit is also saying US Supreme Court.
