When will the major minority in this country realize this time the Dims not only won’t give them a seat on the bus, but this time they were thrown under the bus.
Brant, there are some hard lessons coming. And blaming the “legacy of Trump” and “white supremacy” will only work for a short time.
Actually, for the brainwashed, it’s forever.
No it is not. This trend is just another pop culture movement. Those never last very long. The problem will be doing something about the power that DC has achieved.
Xiden and company along wit the Media will be blaming President Trump for everything for the next solid 4 years.
When will people wake up…this is when and Xiden and Company won’t be able to get out of. When Xiden gives back the Iran Deal, ends fracking and cuts the Keystone pipeline and stops exploration of oil…. and puts us back as being defendants of oil from the middle east…. And a skirmish happens in the Persian gulf and oil rises to 150 a barrel… he won’t be able to blame anyone except himself.
Never forget the Iranians attacked the oil fields in Saudi Arabia and shut down their production for a more then a month… Oil rose a few bucks, You will never, ever see that again.
More than 74 million are awake. I think it is probably 80 million or more but close enough. I really believe there are moderate democrats out there who are surprised at what has already happened. Hopefully they find welcoming doors with us and our numbers grow in size.
I am convinced that the path forward for the MAGA movement is to always create and advocate polices that Americans will understand to be common sense.
An understanding of common sense is inherent across all spectrums of our diverse society… hence reaching the most people.
PDJT was gaining popularity with this approach.
I like Mike Pompeo or Ron DeSantis for the future of flag waivers of MAGA,
Just curious, where does the systemic election fraud and international interference fit into the MAGA movement going forward? We cannot pretend that it will go away, regardless of who the standard bearers are.
A common sense policy is to have an election system consisting of: vote in person, voter ID, proof of citizenship, no mail-in ballots, paper ballot back-up, clean-up states voter roles, no ballot harvesting, etc.
I think people understand this to make sense.
Yes!///sarc I am sure that the commie dems and the corrupt RINOs would LOVE to reach across the aisle and do some bipartisan clean-up of the Election Fraud that they enacted in order to steal a Presidential election from the greatest president ever, Donald J Trump.///more sarc
I Understand that the crazy dems don’t want this policy, but we will know who is a true MAGA candidate if they advocate for this policy.
Get involved with your state governments. Voting was always a state’s right. Dems in Congress already are trying to pass legislation regulating the 50. Some might actually be good but we really have to get diligent and fight for good changes protecting state’s rights and our voting systems. Texas just won a Supreme Court case protecting their right to limit mail in voting. We are not helpless. Dems want you to feel that way though.
Moderate man – you seem very bright. Do you often like to stick your head into a meat grinder …twice?
My head is stuck in the meat grinder because I like Pompeo and DeSantis?
I don’t follow your comment. De Santis mat be to young to be effective yet.
It should be 49 States but perhaps Texas and the other States should arrest Georgia Scty of State Raffensperger, Stacy Abrams, and whatever judge is was for various crimes against other States’ citizens. For example, they have conspired to facilitate election fraud, they have acted under color of law to by vote dilution deprive other States’ citizens their civil right. For starters. And arrest the judges of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court for the same. Too extreme? Try them in absentia and arrest them if they ever set foot out of their State. Too extreme? It pales in significance to the installation of an illegitimate president. If we had a functioning DOJ and US SC these steps would not be necessary but these federal safe guards and not functioning, which leaves States to fend for themselves.. States must protect their citizens from corrupt other States as well as from a federal government which has been illegitimately seized.
This situation has been deliberately generated by the Democratic Party. It has been facilitated by judges who are either weak-minded or corrupt, a thoroughly corrupt DOJ, and a cowering US SC.
j x, that is right on the money! The PA State supreme court is THE most corrupt in the entire country. And the PA AG Shapiro is right there with them (he was losing at 10:00 11/3)
The conspiracy goes beyond just a few states…it crossed multiple states over several time zones and was well-coordinated. I am no legal scholar but sure reeks of RICO to me. And the money spent (by whom) is well into the tens of millions.
Now you’re talking! Well done, sir.
Love this but I don’t see Georgians making a move to get their rights back….
The Trump store is back online if you want to purchase anything in support of the Trump family. Trumpstore.com
All I can think of to do the show support right now besides emailing White House today in support and thanking President Trump. I hope some come up with plans to right these terrible wrongs being done to our President and our country.
Do you have a link? Thank you.
Type in trumpstore.com
Thanks.
Well, I ordered a life size cutout of PDJT to put in our family room to remind us of his incredible presidency. May we always be grateful.
President Trump is being persecuted for saving America
I love the idea of supporting Pres. Trump. However, as with most things associated with his name, it is WinRed that gets the money, and personally, I will NEVER AGAIN GIVE AN F’ING DIME TO THOSE DUPLICITOUS MAGGOTS.
Trumpstore.com is not the fundraising stuff. Nonpolitical golf/hotel and so forth. Shop away! I love my fancy crest mug.
What I am praying for is another 8 years of VSGPDJT!!! Since he was part of a military op, I don’t know if that counts as a term. IDK. Maybe he can still serve 2 more terms. Anybody versed in constitutional law know if that is possible?
I’m not a conspiracy person but I was an analyst for the army once upon a time.
my gut tells me something big is happening In the next 48 hours. I don’t know what but something feels like the wheels have spun into place.
everyone stay safe and keep watching. Remember what we believe in. And if you don’t have to be in DC, staying home sounds much safer
Now camelo has resigned.
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!
She is blatantly ineligible for the office of vp.
Since when was “blatancy” even remotely a problem? You just need a compliant MSM. Unfortunately.
I’ll say. And not just because her and her running mate didn’t receive the majority of legal votes.
Conspiracy is a category of crime, and people who put together pieces of a crime to solve the crime, should be called conspiracy analysts, or conspiracy detective, I think.
Government operators conspire right in front of our faces, and then tell us we’re imagining things when our educated gut tells us otherwise.
Please stop with Q crap, it hurts President Trump and it’s complete bullshit
https://pjmedia.com/columns/stacey-lennox/2021/01/16/a-startling-thread-on-the-national-guard-presence-in-washington-d-c-for-inauguration-day-n1389896
Awwww … Jimbo! A ‘gem’ after my own heart. Yes, something big is happening. And those who can add 2+2 and still get 4 are figuring it out. Pray all goes well w/those brave White Hats who embrace LIBERTY and are willing to throw themselves into the fight will be protected by our Lord. Does anyone really believe POTUS didn’t have his ‘chess playing’ mindset engaged as he embraced the greatest challenge of his life? And he’s invited Believers to pray for him daily and he knows he must put on the armor of God as he fights the swamp. Please spread his latest 1-min message, Telegram: Contact @Mrdonald_trump
I agree. NG troops from California and Guam to DC. State capitols are being secured. Blm and antifa will be going to capitols. I am hopeful the insurrection act will be implemented. There was clear foreign interference in our election. China owns dominion. The only way the theft can be stopped is military intervention. With God’s help, and the courage of PDJT and patriots, this country can be saved.
A new Executive Order: “Executive Order on Protecting Americans from Overcriminialization through Regulatory Reform” even in his final few official days of Office, President Trump continues to look out for the forgotten American, those of us whose industries are often met with zealous self-righteous regulators who like to create criminals out of those they are merely hired to regulate. Thank You President Trump. This is Huge!
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-protecting-americans-overcriminalization-regulatory-reform/
Trump has been super busy the last few weeks. He has left land minds for Biden all over the place. Our leader is there but he needs his army. Don’t give up.
Can’t Biden just overturn these EOs with EOs himself? I don’t see any reason to get excited about them. They are the product of a good heart trying to convey he still puts America first, but I’m not sure any of them will stand for longer than the time it takes shaky Joe to sign one canceling the PTrump EOs.
According to the Supreme Court ruling when President Trump signed an Executive Order to end Obama’s DACA Executive Order the Court ruled that President Trump had the authority but ONLY if he jumped through special hoops.
We will know soon enough if that ruling was just to mess with President Trump to stop him from ending the DACA E.O. or if the Court really did invest special power into a President’s Executive Order ability.
If Biden gets rid of President Trump’s E.O. without making him go through those same hoops, we will have our answer that Chief Justice in fact lied when he said there were no Democrat Justices and no Republican Justices.
Interesting GMA

What is weird to me is that I have heard zero rumblings about any actions from Trump supporters on Wednesday.
I’d heard rumblings of Antifa getting involved at the Rally, but didn’t think it would come to anything because of so many patriots there. It didn’t happen there, but at the Capitol.
I agree, all of this “massive planning of protests” is happening on the dark web dontchaknow.
“…with a peaceful transition of (to?) MILTARY POWER…”????
I’m not thinking that was a misspoken statement, more like an involuntary slip of the tongue
Besides, do we really need Patriot Missiles to ensure AntiFa and BLM don’t stage a False Flag event? Or is that for some other reason we don’t know right now?
It’s a coup; it’s always been a coup.
How it gets received by the non-Trump voter is anyone’s guess.
Wow a barf double whammy, gma and twatter…….No thanks.
I’d do a pantomime for you but it would just look ridiculous.
Yes, Military Power gets transferred to Biden, nothing here that I can see except a big bag of sh%% doing the interview.
Agree
I’m proud to tell you that I had to do some internet searching to find out what the acronym GMA stands for….
Why would our military go on the gma?
“Peaceful transition of MILITARY power.” Good catch.
Optics.
While we get smeared, trashed, jailed, called domestic terrorists, white supremacists… most Republican officials remain silent or agree with the Ds.
Remember that next time you think we must vote for Republicans because they are less bad than the opposition.
Yeah… sure. They sit there and allow us to be smeared, some losing jobs, being denied services and they agree with the left.
They can go to hell!
Satan probably doesn’t want them.
Oh these are the people of the lie. Satan is the lie’s god. He is in command of them right now. But did he ever win? Not to my knowledge.
When Russia was seized by the communists in their October Revolution, they went after the Christians. They slaughtered the Russian Orthodox Krill – our Pope equivalent. They killed over a 1000 of their clergy and thousands of Christians. They destroyed their churches, many historic architectural achievements. They outlawed religious beliefs.
Today, the Russian Orthodox Church and the Krill have offices in the Kremlin, involved in political consults. Putin has rebuilt some of those historic cathedrals. Gays can be gay but they cannot designate the churches or publicly mock the Christians. Yea Putin, that dictator.
The most persecuted group throughout history has been Christians. Today they are the largest religious group, representing 1/3 of the world’s population. Muslims make up 23%. Jews are a small faith but catch is, add all the believers of Abraham’s God and guess what. We are a big fact majority that has yet to be destroyed through thousands of years.
Want to talk about Satan?
Some belong in hell. Others are on the front lines in the crosshairs. Ease up. It’s bad but not hopeless. Time to be smart.
Mr. President:
Don’t choke! America elected you! Use your power! Not just your power to draw crowds of patriots, but your Constitutional mandate to defend our Republic from enemies foreign and domestic.
Remember what President Woodrow Wilson is purported to have said near the end of his life, after saddling us with the Federal Reserve: “I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country.”
Don’t end up like Wilson, Mr. President.
You have the power to save your country, as well as the honor and the obligation to do so.

Doubtful on the quote…he did not have any regrets as what be bestowed on the country.. He was the first true radical lib President and his deliberate policies are still a part of this Country and the Lib playbook.
Only positive was that as a result of his actions (or his wife) a Repubilican admin followed.
Trump will not end-up Woodrow Wilson.
Trump being a businessman and not anything else tells me Trump has been “Fire Tested”. For me, I wish the founding founders had the foresight to make the Office of Presidency required a businessman. In fact, I wish every Congressman and Senator had to have been a businessman.
No guarantee , however we wouldn’t have the likes of AOC and Mitch McConnell.
New Executive Order: “Executive Order on Building the National Garden of American Heroes” serves as an addendum to the initial one; I really do want to see this established somewhere in the heart of our nation would be nice.

Bessie, I thought that was the reason Gates was buying up all that farmland./s 😉
I agree with you!
Thanks for posting Bessie2003, I do too, what a great opportunity for architects and landscape architect to create something enduring and beautiful for the country.
Well there goes my veggie garden. Gardening is now racist. And here I was expanding my garden and preparing to provide my family with as much homegrown food as much food as I could in anticipation of a Biden led economic misadventure. https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2021/01/18/will-this-crap-ever-end-gardening-is-racist-claims-national-trust-backed-professor/
All the more reason to double, triple the size of your garden planning this year!
I go for that!!
Plant some moringa trees. Extremely fast-growing. They taste like hell, but every part from roots to stem to leaves, pods and flowers is edible and more nutritious than almost anything else there is.
Do they grow in 3a zone of Canada? I have plenty of other stuff going.
Saw the article. If this nonsense makes it to the US, there some houses with Biden Signs and Flags that I see on my bike rides, which are in serious trouble.
Plant double and make sure you use heirloom seeds. You may need them!
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Statement by Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller on National Guard Support in Washington, D.C.
JAN. 18, 2021
As is normal for military support to large security events, the Department will vet National Guardsmen who are in Washington, D.C. While we have no intelligence indicating an insider threat, we are leaving no stone unturned in securing the capital. This type of vetting often takes place by law enforcement for significant security events. However, in this case the scope of military participation is unique. The D.C. National Guard is also providing additional training to service members as they arrive in D.C. that if they see or hear something that is not appropriate, they should report it to their chain of command. We appreciate the support of the FBI in assisting with this task and for each of the more than 25,000 Guardsmen who answered their Nation’s call and rapidly deployed to the NCR.
https://www.defense.gov/Newsroom/Releases/Release/Article/2474963/statement-by-acting-secretary-of-defense-christopher-miller-on-national-guard-s/
Why would anyone trust the corrupt FBI when it comes to vetting people?
Instead, it should be the US military vetting the FBI.
Placating the Leftists. Smoke and Mirrors
Why is this situation unique?
DOD Miller just bitch slapped the FBI:
“We have no intelligence indicating an insider threat.”
Well that’s a direct response to FBI who’s been claiming for days there is one.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/01/fbi-vetting-national-guard-troops-dc-fears-insider-attack-threat-service-members-securing-biden-inauguration/
The FBI doesn’t give a flying f*** what Miller says.
Of course not, Miller is patronizing FBI with fact they are not in charge. Remember shortly after the November Election,,all actions now report
to DOD
“…that special operations civilian leadership will report directly to his role for the first time instead of “current bureaucratic channels.”
https://americanmilitarynews.com/2020/11/new-military-change-civilian-special-ops-leaders-to-report-to-secdef-for-first-time-ever-miller-announces/
Exactly Patriot1783!
Chris Miller is awesome! Have you seen a photo of him when he was active duty special ops! He is a fierce patriot who will not allow gratfing bureaucrats to trample on those who gave their lives and limbs for our freedoms.
Genius move by POTUS Trump to implement the realignment!
Anybody have a list of things to do tomorrow? I’m looking at watching old Trump rallies on RSBN, election night newscast from 2016, and anything else highlighting what I love about president Trump. While dictator is being installed I’m going in my backyard to pick up dog poo.
I will be scraping the scum off the bottom of my shower curtain.
On Wednesday, checking the weather as am planning on pruning the apple trees along with some other yard work – anything as far away from the TV as possible!
And occasionally checking in here to read comments.
Watching POTUS depart around 8:00 once that is over..Nothing I won;t be watching anything else. Nor will I care the next 4 years about SOTU or WH Pressers or Holiday speeches by Biden.
I’ve already unsubscribed from the WH you tube channel and deleted other you tube subscriptions such as the ones for Secretary of State and DOJ, only subscribed to those to catch the latest Trump Administration briefings.
Back to work, remotely. My employer’s IT Dept. did a huge maintenance on the servers this past weekend, so if I can’t log on, won’t know at first whether it’s because none of us can log on, anywhere.
I will be hanging my upside down flag on my deck.
Here is a beautiful article well worth reading in these troubled days we are living in.
The title says it all “Our 1776/ Red Sea Moment.”
“American patriots are now at a Red Sea/1776 moment, and we can prevail by calling on the same powers that delivered victory in the past. We may walk in the flesh and assess the current situation with our physical eyes, but Apostle Paul reminds us that we struggle not against flesh and blood, “but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Our weapons of truth and justice are far mightier than any of our enemies’ weapons, and with God’s help we will prevail.”
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/01/our_1776red_sea_moment.html
This is another sign that it is all in the hands of the military. The ones that President Donald Trump put in charge after the election. He cannot have any more to do with this. He has to stand quietly on the side and let the military bring out the truth and the evidence. According to the EO, it has been investigated for the past 2 years.
They have all the evidence. I think Biden has to be sworn in to complete the coup (attempt) but it will not last. They are scared. This is why we have all the actions with the military.

They way Nancy has been ordering the military around, it makes one think Nan believes she the President
WeeWeed, now the Whaaaaambulence needs to be sent over to Nancy!!
?
You’ve got Bingo.
“If Mr. Ellis did go through the traditional civil service hiring process, I request a detailed account of that process, to understand how someone with his credentials was chosen over other qualified candidates.”
This from a woman who vetted and ok’d Barack Hussein Obama, ya know the guy listing himself as “community organizer” and a CT Social Security # on his resume as a US
President.
And then Obama hired a fiction writer to be in charge of national security policy.
Yes biden must be sworn in to ‘complete’ the Crime(s)…Pray for Our Nation.
Leroy, do you have a source for this? Thanks
Try this from the American Patriots EMail Report by Cleric John Preston.
The goal to dissolve the Corporation which has been running America
Cleric John Preston writes | American Patriots Email Report (mainerepublicemailreport.com)
Why must the crime be completed? There’s plenty of crime already completed. From what law, federal statute or Constitution, are you getting this assertion?
No federal law or statue.
Hearts and Minds. He needs to be removed constitutionally, not Militarily. Don’t you agree?
The divide is so strong. It must be just. An airing of the evidence in the Supreme Court.
The second Biden is sworn in, he is fully in charge.
Timing, it is all in the timing. Maybe simultaneous? One in DC, one at Mar-a-Lago? President Trump has announced he is leaving for Florida early Wednesday Morning.
Or maybe, when the evidence is presented the Supreme Court has to finally step in with an injunction until a decision is made. No changes until it is determined who is the rightful President. Why else would he be putting these in place?
Of what though
Are you people ever going to stop with this bullshit?
https://pjmedia.com/columns/stacey-lennox/2021/01/16/a-startling-thread-on-the-national-guard-presence-in-washington-d-c-for-inauguration-day-n1389896
NO. We are all entitled to our opinion. If you do not like it just skip over it.
Apparently struck a nerve with YOU since you’ve repeated the same exact comment on this page twice.
MH, are you ever going to stop with your trigger anger over people having a tiny grain of hope that it may not all get destroyed after Wednesday? I have had to gloss over pages and pages of postings that I either didn’t agree with or were on a topic that in which I had no interest. Very simple.
So just scroll on by. If we are correct in out mustard seed size of hope then we won’t even gloat.
I don’t think Sundance would approve of the Crazy.
I’ve been thinking, lately that is why Sidney and certain others close to POTUS realized the US Court System were not even bothering to hear their valid fraudulent election grievances have gone radio silent too.
Curiouser and curiouser. I’m trying not to buy into this tick tock stuff yet again, but the circumstantial evidence is mounting that something is afoot.
Thanks jmbuck. I do have one question.
Are you sure about this: “I think Biden has to be sworn in to complete the coup (attempt) but it will not last.” My thought was that POTUS Trump would no longer be CIC and Biden could order his way out of the situation.
Not if it’s installation by sedition. The “force” is the foreign interference, coupled with corrupt Dominion computer/softwareand court system.
https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?path=%2Fprelim%40title18%2Fpart1%2Fchapter115&edition=prelim
My guess is that Biden has to be sworn in so that everyone involved in the coup had a chance to stop it but did nothing to stop it. It is kind of like “the speak now or forever hold your peace” thing.
A marriage committed under fraud can be undone. A contract committed under fraud can be undone. Any transaction that is presented as honest and legal but is fraudulent can be rescinded and made void. The legal professionals could explain it better.

Thank you Lolli. Can you cook are you married? LOL I’ll do the dishes and windows and floors!! LOL
Yes, I am a fantastic cook.
its a deal.
Thanks again Lolli but that’s not the song I mentioned. God’s gonna cut you down. I feel like an idiot cause I still don’t know how to cut and paste to post a link.
I have to apologize again Lolli. That is the song but I believe this particular version is not the one that Johnny Cash had in mind when he recorded the song. This version is anti American. Not my intended meaning at all!
When and where do ya want to get married?
Dang, you’re picky. Lol.
I may need to rethink my commitment ?
But, on your sail boat would be perfect. ?
No sailboat but the beach is 5 minutes away and it’s a beautiful 65 degrees here in sunny FL..

What a way to boost the morale of our troops – accuse conservative NG members of being criminals. No wonder so many loved Trump!
I guess that’s why they needed to surround themselves with Asian troops. (Picture posted on previous page)
They ran out of American troops who did not vote for PT ?
Biden probably will be unjustly installed. That being said, there should never be any hesitation in acknowledging that the election was indeed stolen. As you know statistics is a science. As Dems like to say “follow the science”. This evidence was unjustly not even considered by a court of law:
https://noqreport.com/2020/12/09/professor-in-texas-lawsuit-odds-of-biden-winning-all-four-contested-states-less-than-one-in-a-quadrillion-to-the-fourth-power/
Less than one in quadrillion to the 4th power is a statistical impossibility. Follow the science.
A quadrillion is 1 followed by 15 zeros. A quadrillion to the 4th power is 1 followed by 60 zeros. It’s 1/(1 x 10 to the 60th power) in Scientific Notation format. For visual learners, here it is using the actual numbers:
1/1, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000th.
Or as Sleepy Joe would say, “So you’re telling me I’ve got a chance”.
Follow the science.
I’ll tell you what the science is.
…..the Left
Where are the polls on Biden’s popularity?
Some background information on extreme Presidential powers. In 1863, President Lincoln sent a forty-vessel flotilla to blockade Charleston Harbor without authorization from Congress. In the ensuing months he prorogued Congress, arrested and imprisoned scores of newspaper publishers, and initiated a draft of 175,000 men, all without apparent Constitutional authority.
USSC Justice Grier, in 1863 speaking for the majority of the Supreme Court stated the following in defense of President Lincoln’s actions
“Whether the President in fulfilling his duties, as Commander in-chief, in suppressing an insurrection, has met with such armed hostile resistance, and a civil war of such alarming proportions as will compel him to accord to them the character of belligerents, is a question to be decided by him, and this Court must be governed by the decisions and acts of the political department of the government to which this power was entrusted. ‘He must determine what degree of force the crisis demands.’
***********
Knowing that some may be interested in this historic period of Presidential actions, I’ve included the following to add a little more context. Please skip over if not interested. This is from a massive tome of almost 3,000 pages dealing with USSC decisions about the Constitution.
The Prize Cases.—The basis for a broader conception was laid in certain early acts of Congress authorizing the President to employ military force in the execution of the laws. (116) In his famous message to Congress of July 4, 1861, (117) Lincoln advanced the claim that the “war power” was his for the purpose of suppressing rebellion, and in the Prize Cases (118) of 1863 a divided Court sustained this theory. The immediate issue was the validity of the blockade that the President, following the attack on Fort Sumter, had proclaimed of the Southern ports. (119)
The argument was advanced that a blockade to be valid must be an incident of a “public war” validly declared, and that only Congress could, by virtue of its power “to declare war,” constitutionally impart to a military situation this character and scope. Speaking for the majority of the Court, Justice Grier answered: “If a war be made by invasion of a foreign nation, the President is not only authorized but bound to resist force by force. He does not initiate the war, but is bound to accept the challenge without waiting for any special legislative authority. And whether the hostile party be a foreign invader, or States organized in rebellion, it is none the less a war, although the declaration of it be ‘unilateral.’ Lord Stowell (1 Dodson, 247) observes, ‘It is not the less a war on that account, for war may exist without a declaration on either side. It is so laid down by the best writers of the law of nations. A declaration of war by one country only, is not a mere challenge to be accepted or refused at pleasure by the other.’ ”
“The battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma had been fought before the passage of the act of Congress of May 13, 1846, which recognized ‘a state of war as existing by the act of the Republic of Mexico.’ This act not only provided for the future prosecution of the war, but was itself a vindication and ratification of the Act of the President in accepting the challenge without a previous formal declaration of war by Congress.”
“This greatest of civil wars was not gradually developed by popular commotion, tumultuous assemblies, or local unorganized insurrections. However long may have been its previous conception, it nevertheless sprung forth suddenly from the parent brain, a Minerva in the full panoply of war. The President was bound to meet it in the shape it presented itself, without waiting for Congress to baptize it with a name; and no name given to it by him or them could change the fact. . . .”
“Whether the President in fulfilling his duties, as Commander in-chief, in suppressing an insurrection, has met with such armed hostile resistance, and a civil war of such alarming proportions as will compel him to accord to them the character of belligerents, is a question to be decided by him, and this Court must be governed by the decisions and acts of the political department of the government to which this power was entrusted. ‘He must determine what degree of force the crisis demands.’
The proclamation of blockade is itself official and conclusive evidence to the Court that a state of war existed which demanded and authorized a recourse to such a measure, under the circumstances peculiar to the case.” ( 120)

If our President Trump should decide to go nuclear, he would have ample justification.
Seneca we understand that you meant nuclear as a “figure of speech” of course for certain law enforcement actions the President may be compelled to carry out by his oath of office. Having seen your past posts I think we here at the Treehouse understand you did NOT mean actual nuclear. Blessings sir.
I thought Seneca was suggesting the President should just focus on his family.

Here’s the link to President Trump’s Inaugural Address. It may be worth watching or reading if your spirits need a lift.
MAGA
PDJT spoke for about 16 – 17 minutes at his inspiring inaugural speech – what kind of dog’s breakfast will Biden dish up on Jan 20th? As well, we have the State of The Union to look forward to, some time in Feb.
Emergency broadcast system has just ran several tests unlike the weekly test. It was an extended testing and husband asked what was going on. Anybody know?
Another going off now-says it is the weekly test of the EBS.
CNN wants Cable Cos. to drop Newsmax, now that it’s # 4 in Cable news shows. FYI, it’s not even ON most cable stations in the U.S. and it’s still # 4? Good for them!!
D*mn these people are absolutely Flipping Out.

People could not stand CNN even in other countries.
And it’s out of Airports soon, too.
Heck, If FNC hadn’t blown it ROYALLY on Election Night, CNN would probably be finito already.
Nice job keeping your “competition ” alive Fox.
Has Bogey posted today with any unusual military aircraft movement?
Check a couple of pages back. Someone else posted some flight info.
I wonder if the NG fall under civil servants EEO laws.
The Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 (CSRA), as amended, also protects federal government applicants and employees from discrimination in personnel actions (see “Prohibited Personnel Practices” https://www.mspb.gov/ppp/ppp.htm) based on race, color, sex, religion, national origin, age, disability, marital status, political affiliation, or on conduct which does not adversely affect the performance of the applicant or employee — which can include sexual orientation or gender identity. The Office of Special Counsel (OSC), http://www.osc.gov, and the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB), http://www.mspb.gov, enforce the prohibitions against federal employment discrimination codified in the CSRA. For more information, see OPM’s Addressing Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Discrimination in Federal Civilian Employment at https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/diversity-and-inclusion/reference-materials/addressing-sexual-orientation-and-gender-identity-discrimination-in-federal-civilian-employment.pdf,
Epoch times reporting 2000 NG troops sworn in as “special deputy marshalls”.
Again, why?
Please check out online headlines of what US Marshals have been involved with in the past 4 – 6 months. There you will find the answer.
Upcoming, in about 30 minutes 1 p.m. west coast time) RSBN live update on DC:
To understand Trump’s support, we must think in terms of multiracial Whiteness
Washington Post, by Christina Beltran
Original Article
The Trump administration’s anti-immigration, anti-civil rights stance has made it easy to classify the president’s loyalists as a homogenous mob of white nationalists. But take a look at the FBI’s posters showing people wanted in the insurrectionist assault on the U.S. Capitol: Among the many White faces are a few that are clearly Latino or African American. Such diversity highlights the fact that President Trump’s share of the Latino vote in November actually rose over 2016, notwithstanding years of incendiary rhetoric targeting Mexicans and other Latino communities.
It’s the new bug-a-boo: Multi-racial Whiteness
LOL. Now, you don’t even have to be white to BE WHITE!
This is the language of Alinsky and all propagandists.
I feel so much more included now.
Liberals are mostly white. That is a fact.
Since gardening has now been declared racist, I wonder if variegated plants are an example multiracial Whiteness.
Thanks, Trump….we love you
Thanks, that was definitely needed.
Every time I watch that segment or the movie I ask myself… what is wrong with loving your country?
As long as we’re going there…
Or as actor Harvey Korman said in the Mel Brooks Movies “Dracula” and “High Anxiety”: “Give him an enema or put him in his straight jacket and then give him an enema”.
I have not counted President Trump out as of yet, come on team!
Good, don’t … even if ‘trolls’ try to discourage.

I want to point out something rather important regarding Biden and his people wanting to “vet” the US military guarding DC for the inauguration.
PRESIDENT DONALD JOHN TRUMP *NEVER* VETTED THE US MILITARY ALL OF THE MANY TIMES HE WALKED AMONG THEM!
He loved and supported them, shook their hands, signed their hats, and let them take selfies with him.
AND THEY.LOVED.HIM.BACK.
Big difference between President Trump and Biden, huh?
I was Army. I cannot imagine a greater insult to the troops than what Biden is accusing them of potentially doing and requiring them to be vetted.
Utterly disgusting…..
This will be our new reality if Biden is sworn in. The “elected” cough, cough officials will suspect everyone and silence or get rid of anyone who opposes them be it military or civilian. They have learned well from their masters and wish to serve them.
Biden is a liar, a cheat and a fraud. He and military members have all taken an oath to the country. Biden has repeatedly violated that oath. Why would he think anyone else would actually swear to honor that oath? Biden is toast.
I almost hate to ask this question, but are we sure the 2020 election isn’t the culmination of a “complex military operation” (maybe in conjunction with the CIA) to execute a coup? The face and beneficiary of the coup being the Democratic party. We know Biden is just a placeholder.
We know Big Tech has a lot of military/CIA contracts.
The buildup of NG in DC is the establishment of a fascist state. Just ask David Horowitz.
https://www.frontpagemag.com/
I am really bothered that there are more components to this than the usual suspects.
Might be the Military operating against th CIA
I don’t think so. I figure the insurrection act has already been signed. Biden will be inaugurated then the military will take over. Foreign interference. They will verify election fraud and/or reconduct elections. Finding fraud, PDJT will be reinstalled as president for a second term.
I think this is a good song for our nation at this time.
Thanks Eric for that. John Starnes was often on the long winding pathway I took to come back home.
Soros always reminds me of Jabba.
I’m tired of Stacey Abrams…she’s annoying!
The only peaceful solution left for conservatives, t is simple and will work. If we can get over a million in dc then this should be able to be accomplished..
A WORK STOPPAGE BY US CONSERVATIVES, through out the land.
truckers, oil guys, construction , farmers, builders. etc, etc.
1st demand nobody who stops working can lose there job, its a peaceful protest.
on the 1st demand the Federal gov would and have too (by Law) need to enforce this demand its legal and lawful.
Then just a few demands keep it simple.
1st. fix election integrity, Paper ballots only , id , 2 week ink on the finger.
no censorship of free ideas and thoughts ever.
please suggest 2 or three more or suggest a lot more and narrow it down to 5 or 10 the max.
Sundance this will work just need to spread the word.
Maybe DJT , Eric, Don Jr., can hint at this, you, Levin, Limbaugh all of them, conservative papers, tv, internet.
its only solution left before the republic is done. Our last resort.
This is what the declaration of independence means to alter and change course.
This is how you crush the progressives/socialist/collectivist.
Unite and stop working, it brings them to their knees. Guaranteed.
Had January 6 not happened, that might work.
An effective tactic in Germany, where striking is forbidden , was the “Bummelstreik”. The employees were at work, but every minute task was delayed by implementing every rule and regulation governing it. If the rules were not known, the task would require extensive, time consuming research just to make sure no such rule existed. It was very effective with Lufthansa for example.

Has any elected Republican spoken out about the illegal and outrageous ‘vetting’ of National Guard for conservative sentiments?
This a massive violation of the civil rights of our troops.
And no one is standing up for them.
you have no rights. civil or uncivil. That’s a period after each statement.

Every Sp4 in the Guard just posted a pic wearing a MAGA hat to get out of this BS duty
I can’t find it now but Seneca posted a link to an American Thinker article that digs into Antifa calling for rioters on the 20th:
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/01/is_antifa_advertising_for_rioters_for_jan_20.html
It references a Tweet by Andy Ngo (I took and saved a screenshot, so no link to Twitter, they just got my one click):
They’re so in our face about it. “Dress appropriately. Be water.” Seriously?!?!? Be Water has to be a reference to Bruce Lee…
“Be Water, My Friend.
Empty your mind.
Be formless, shapeless, like water.
You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup.
You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle.
You put it into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Now water can flow or it can crash.
Be water, my friend.”

antifa = Refuse Fascism = Soros
Wish OANN could see this and actually report on it so the baseline will be set; It is Antifa.
Don;t know if this was already posted but here is a goodbye message from FLOTUS
Temper folks…. Any magazines you see that show an image of Jill Xiden.. pretend to read it, and flip it when you put it back…
What a lovely, kind hearted person she is.

Once you hit rock bottom, the only direction is up. We are not there yet. IMO, first thing is the GOP needs to be destroyed … utterly. If 70% of conservatives think the election was stolen then roughly 70% of conservatives will refrain from voting Repub, except perhaps in local contests, from here on out. When the GOP no longer is a roadblock to the government we expect and deserve, only then can things be made right. I don’t say this as an Eeyore, but as a realist. I hate to think it at all, but I fear we haven’t hit the bottom, we have to hang in there through the worst yet to come and that may take years.
Yes indeed. Vote primary opponents in EVERY case – no matter who it is. Just vote the incumbents out – EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.
President trump said “Never quit”….but he has…..I think they have pulled a Ross Perot on him…with his family……
what i dread about all the hope dealers is ..all the darn excuses they will be making over the next month or two…
as for me .well president trump is the best president i have had in my life time….I wish him the best .
They all betrayed him, IMO.
Agree.
Yep…his advisors have refused to allow anyone in to see him now for weeks. Mike Lindell got in for all of 5 minutes and was sssssssssssssshussed out
And if the people who hold on to hope are right?
for you mark..

Then we will all apologize profusely and be ever grateful for those who kept the faith being strong brave Patriots. The odds just are stacked against it right now that is all. No one wants to give up but reality is not very kind sometimes. It’s not giving up completely anyway as there will be actions to take to try and win back our country someday. What they are right now I am not sure.
President Trump has not quit. He has not conceded nor has he resigned. The fat lady has not sung. I remain confident of his second term. Pray for our President and this country. With God all things are possible.
According to Sershowitz, the pose inauguration impeachment is unconstitutional as Trump is no longer in office. On the other hand, Trump really is the President. Let’s not kid ourselves, this was a straight up color revolution coup. People called it way back during the BLM riots that dragged on.

Wasn’t a color revolution by the people. Was straight up fraud at the voting booth.
Over the past week or so I find myself irritated at President Trump for not doing something sooner when he had options. He swore an oath to uphold the constitution just like everybody else did. The guy I voted for would fight with all he’s got. I can’t believe he’ll just walk away but if he does, my opinion of him is going to change. I know the history books won’t be kind
He did what he could while surrounded by covert mutineers.

Wow, didn’t realize he had to check in with you ?
“…my opinion of him is going to change”
Understandable. But it is exactly the what the Leftists want you to think. You have been divided and conquered.
Rather, think of him as a martyr now … as the new symbol of resistance going forward. He did the best he could against unfathomable odds and got a lot done. He showed us what this country could be again.
You’re new.
You want a hero the likes of which are only found in comic books.
While you will never get that, as they don’t exist, you might be surprised that Trump’s contributions and successes multiply while out of office.
This helps explain Bill Barr’s “job” as USAG. Such a Class Act.

I turned the TV on and Shep McCallum’s new show popped up. Her guest was Stehanie Cutter of “Benghazi is news because Romney mentioned it” fame… Barak’s true believers are crawling out of the woodwork. FNC is not going to turn their ratings freewill with guests like that…

Joe Biden who can’t even string a coherent sentence together is going a be a president?
The one sentence he can speak is “How high, Sir?” when Jinping tells him to jump.
I know, there are no words.
So elegant, classy and beautiful. I bet that (apart from being forced out) they can’t wait to get out and away from the monsters who run our world. They really tried to make a better world.
