If you remember how Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi forced former Representative Bart Stupak and the 19 Blue Dog democrats to cave on the Obamacare construct in 2010, then you have a solid reference point for what Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi are doing right now.
As you are reading this, Nancy Pelosi has pulled together her leadership group overnight to change the House rules for legislative passage of the $3.5 trillion Green New Deal spending package under the auspices of “infrastructure.”
This $3.5 trillion spending bill is in addition to the $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill that came from the Senate, and… she is using the $2 trillion budget package as the carrier for a slick “Deem and Pass” maneuver.
As we have seen before, right now Pelosi is changing the House rules to have a single vote on the current budget proposal which will include a ‘deem and pass’ provision that adds the $3.5 trillion Green New Deal spending package to it.
By voting to pass the omnibus budget bill, all House members will also be voting to authorize as passed the additional $3.5 trillion GND as a wraparound.
This means one single vote passes this massive social engineering project with more than $5.5 trillion in spending in a single bill. Thereafter, the House will vote on the Senate bill separately to add another $1.5 trillion, bringing the total spending by the House before they depart to a whopping $7 trillion; forever changing the American landscape.
After several hours of discussion and conference with a group of 10 ‘moderate’ democrats led by New Jersey Representative Josh Gottheimer, shortly before 1:00am ET, Pelosi sent the House Democrats home with a pledge to finish the rules changes and prepare for a vote today, Tuesday. The House will reconvene at noon and the votes will be whipped.
Politico has a breakdown of some insider details surrounding Pelosi’s negotiations with Gottheimer [SEE HERE]. However, in the final analysis it looks like Gottheimer and his ten moderate colleagues are going to end up doing the same thing as Bart Stupak and the Blue Dogs did with Obamacare. Which means they will likely cave and approve the bill and procedural changes.
WASHINGTON DC – […] Several of the moderates were particularly incensed by a wonky maneuver that would wrap consideration of the ground rules of debate and the budget resolution itself into one vote, rather than the original plan that required two votes to advance the spending bill. After a few of them balked at Pelosi’s initial offer, Gottheimer returned for his second round of meetings with leadership and then shuttled back to his fellow centrists. (more)
Democrats are by nature totalitarian dictators, and just like Bart Stupak, Josh Gottheimer is being threatened by Pelosi and House leadership if he doesn’t go along and get his group to vote in support of Pelosi’s massive scheme. All indications are this group of moderate democrats will not hold up against the massive onslaught of pressure from the leftists now in control of the party.
In the aftermath of ObamaCare, Bart Stupak (Michigan) and the entire 19 member blue-dog caucus were wiped out in the 2010 mid-term election; however, by then ObamaCare was cemented. Democrats actually lost a total of 63 seats in the U.S. House (biggest crushing defeat since 1938) and lost 6 seats in the Senate. That was the political cost to Democrats, but they won their government takeover of healthcare and college tuition.
The $3.5 trillion Green New Deal/Socialist takeover plan is tracking along an almost identical path to ObamaCare. Schemes, rule changes and parliamentarian tricks are used to get passage ‘by any means necessary‘.
Georgia Republican Representative Barry Loudermilk (GA-11th CD) attempted to send an urgent clarion call for help last night. WATCH:
FTA: “Democrats are by nature totalitarian dictators and just like Bart Stupak, Josh Gottheimer is being threatened by Pelosi and House leadership if he doesn’t go along and get his group to vote in support of Pelosi’s massive scheme.”
Threatened with what? Please elaborate.
Destruction of their districts via redistricting, removal from all meaningful committees, no pork to their districts, we will pull your campaign funding, we will primary you out, etc.
The usual machine threats.
We need a lot more like Marjorie Taylor Greene who has no fear because she has not allowed herself to accept the usual bribes.
And I believe she never will.
By the way, I called Gottheimer this morning and all of his mailboxes are full.
But not the 3 Texans.
People here complaining (rightly!) that calling Pelousy will do no good could try calling elsewhere strategically.
Coerce, convince, cause to cower the ones you can and move on. This is only one avenue. In addition to calling post on social their social media pages, and share!
Continue to follow other avenues in tandem–replace local politicians, become election worker at some level, become precinct committeeman, school board member, home school family members, become independent of the things which can be used to control you, learn to hunt, grow food, build a local community of trusted like minded folks with the necessary skills to support each other, educate others where possible. Just do something productive!!!
Have faith! With Him we are strong enough to fight this to the end–what ever He has ordained for each of us.
We are under attack from evil in multiple directions. I am old, pretty resilient, independent, fortunate and still feeling traumatized. My children and their friends are overwhelmed, frightened and confused for their future and families.
How do we fight this evil attack on every front now? It is embodied in the Democrats, and the uniparty RINOS. We know that, but that is not enough.
Still Praying!
Brought to you by the party of lie,cheat, and steal. With the repugs in the role of best supporting actors. All made possible by the stolen election .
Repulsive…..
Pelosi and the Dems are behaving as though they are 10 feet tall and bulletproof. I guess they think they can mail in ballot fraud their way to win any election. I’m not so sure she’s not correct. We’ll get no help from Justice.
I’d say their track record warrants the description as “bullet proof.” You are what your record says your are, and Pelosi has no equal. She is ruthless, and wields power accordingly. She has more balls than any Republican, that’s for sure.
It is easy when you know there will be no repercussions for your actions.
After no action on felonies committed by hil-lie-ry, comey, mccabe, brennan, clapper et al, and EXONERATION OF A MURDERER, we now know they can do anything with absolutely no consequences !
Except for President Trump, but then he’s not really a republican anyway. Thank Goodness!
Justice is dead. It belongs to the same people Joe Biden does.
The new whirled people.
They are acting like communists do, ram it through no matter how much it hurts the country. They plan to burn it all down.
They are communists. It’s time we started calling them what they are.
Dems are racing against time. ‘What happens,’ they are thinking, ‘if, overnight, election 2020 is overturned? We’ll never again have this opportunity’!
They’re laundering as much money as they can, as fast as they can in case that happens.
And how much of the wind was taken out of the sails yesterday when the Arizona audit was delayed AGAIN?!
The Left always seems to be able to hold it all together to get their agenda through while the RINO motto should be “We’ll get ’em next time. We promise!”
“How do we fight this evil attack on every front now?”
As SD and others have said, the best way forward in combating this evil emanating from the central authorities is to think smaller–on the community and state level.
America’s Second Civil War (many European countries have had multiple civil wars) seems to have begun. And ironically, it’s being fought over the same primary issue– states’ rights.
In our first civil war, the states’ rights advocates lost and the central gov’t began its massive growth. Now we’ve reached a new point where the pendulum must swing back.
Families must stick close and tight to each other, communities must coalesce, and states must form compacts with each other for mutual aid and defense.
That’s a plan! Don’t worry about who’s President or running Congress. Take it as a given that the Central Gov’t is the enemy and don’t fixate on everything they do or say. They’re obviously trying to terrorize the population but we have to tune them out somehow and stick to our knitting locally.
While we must mobilize at the local, state level… there is not enough TIME anymore. The destruction of our nation is swift… and Americans are confused and having a hard time accepting that our govt has actually become our enemy.
I know this because so many in my family and extended family voted for Biden.
The Bible says that in those days it will be father against son, mother against daughter, brother against brother. We were there in both 1776 and 1860… and we are there again.
This is the way.
ACTION. Reach out to your neighbors and organize. Then mobilize. It is likely to get messy. Be prepared to make sacrifices. But it’s for your children now.
The grassroots of America is still 20x bigger than these thieves.
I agree but in China 90k people in the CCP control 1.5 billion people! Doesn’t matter that we are 2ox bigger, they have the guns!
Here, we still have the guns.
It’s the only thing keeping us from becoming China now.
So do we, Kirk. Remember that.
So true, it will all come down to local organizing and refutation of any federal bs. God did not intend for us to lean on a shovel and pray for a hole!….. it’s going to take work and pain to get through this….
I still say, when all is said and done, you have to get their attention. They aren’t …fearful…of strong letters. Maybe if a few of them …disappeared… that might have them looking over their shoulders.
Pray hard. But also ACT!
Personal, individual action is now required. We must act. And that means sacrifice and risk. True sacrifice, up to and including one’s own life.
Just as the Founders did to hand us this Republic.
Are you willing to do that? Or is living your “best life” something else?
“Still Praying!”
You answered your own question!
Maybe it’s time to start shooting?
Way past time in my book. What the hell are we waiting for, complete takeover before eyelids are raised and guns are pointed. How are you going like living in your knees and bow before the communist gods?
Under attack? Constantly and incessantly.

Remember…we are all going to die. All of of us, no exceptions. How you go is just as important as when and why…probably even more important.
Go out standing, boots on, gun in hand and shouting to the heavens. Remember why you are here…to protect those weaker than you. Always remember that! There are those behind you depending on your strength. You are here for that reason alone. That is your mission, it always was and always will be.
Very nice! I like that!
Just one addition. AS General Patton said, I don’t want you to die for your country. Make the enemy die. That is what you do for your country. Or something to that effect.
It takes extra resolve to fight, maybe die, for the country of our children when they are voting for the other side.
Nice but in order to make this happen these patriots need a leader, with the plans & the organization to carry out the objective.
A couple days ago, I read somewhere that any hunter has the skills & equipment necessary to be an effective long-range sniper in a revolution, BUT there has to be a leader who gives the authorization to “kill human beings”. Take away the “fear of prosecution” (apparently which the Democrats have none of) & you have your long-range snipers!
It is quickly coming to this.
One question that I have been pondering since Obama & his traitors stole the Nov. 3, 2020 Election from Trump, is
“Since the Election was stolen & this Whole US Gov’t is illegal, does that not make ANY laws that this current Gov’t pass illegal “???
Any retired Judges, Federal Prosecutors or Lawyers want to answer this honestly?
I believe yes, any laws that this current government passes are illegal.
HOWEVER, by the laws of this country, Biden is president and the laws he implements and passes are legal until such time as our country formally recognizes that the election was stolen. At this point, only we the people recognize the steal as the truth. Our job is convince our representatives of the steal and subsequently have Biden removed and President Trump rightfully installed.
Thank You Michael & COlibertybelle for the responses!
I totally agree that nothing is going to change until we get the proof of the Stolen Election to the appropriate & honest people.
I often fantasize about “hanging the little black galute by the ears until he fesses-up”!
John, what I have heard over and over again is that no laws, no actions, no bills passed by this congress and president are legal, making them null and void.
However, that said, we must still do our part and fight when we have the opportunity against all forms of oppression and attempts to subvert our God-given rights, however those opportunities present themselves.
From the 13 page PDF I Told some on here they did it in a roundabout way, well, here it is…
On August 23, 2021, FDA approved the biologics license application (BLA) submitted by BioNTech Manufacturing GmbH for COMIRNATY (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA) for active immunization to prevent COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 in individuals 16 years of age and older.
On August 23, 2021, having concluded that revising this EUA is appropriate to protect the public health or safety under section 564(g)(2) of the Act, FDA is reissuing the August 12, 2021 letter of authorization in its entirety with revisions incorporated to clarify that the EUA will remain in place for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for the previously-authorized indication and uses, and to authorize use of COMIRNATY (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA) under this EUA for certain uses that are not included in the approved BLA.
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/FDA-Letter-Final_Pfizer-LOA-to-issue-with-BLA-approval-08.23.21_v2.pdf
They Revised the August 12, 2021 EUA, that’s it!
scammed again!
And the media everywhere is using “approved” instead of stating the truth ~ more propaganda to mislead the masses.
Not everywhere. The warroom covered this extensively with Dr. Malone this morning.
Watch for the video on rumble and pass it around widely.
Steph, you are right; I’m just discouraged that so few are covering it properly. Even Newsmax is saying “approved” ~ SMH.
Translation if the FDA approved this jab thing then the Big Pharma would lose its lack of liability.
Oh I am sure they figured out a way around that!
Nope, they actually didn’t. The media is simply lying.
They essentially “kicked the can.”
I’m not on any memory, cognitive improving supplements. Was the Pfizer vaccine ‘fully approved’ by the FDA?
No!
All they did was approve the biologics license. The approved the “Revised” August 12, 2021 (EUA)
As you know everyone and their uncle is stating that it is approved. The military is using this proclamation to mandate the vaccination. I hope this will be challenged in court based on the facts.
I agree, I hope facts will be used to challenge the mandates, but when a male soldier can claim to be a female soldier and go unchallenged, I’m not hopeful of any action.
That’s nice, but in the meantime, challenge it with every human being you get the opportunity to educate!
This is the section of the FDA’s “complete approval” of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID‑19 Vaccine which I found particularly odd:
“Pfizer-BioNTech COVID‑19 Vaccine is authorized to prevent COVID-19 in individuals 12 years of age and older as described in the Scope of Authorization (Section II) under this EUA, despite the fact that it does not meet certain requirements otherwise required by applicable federal law.”
It appears Pfizer got complete approval for a vaccine that doesn’t meet criteria “otherwise required” for complete approval.
Sigh.
Wrong.
Approved? Not exactly
Despite what yesterday’s news advertised, the FDA has NOT “approved” any covid vaccine! The only thing that occurred was Pfizer revised it’s Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to include licensing – nothing else has changed. This vaccine is still (as it has been since Fall 2020) in Trial with good/bad ‘effects’ being determined. There’s no arguing facts -which are attached so you can read, save and share as people deserve to know the truth as is required to be “informed”.
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/FDA-Letter-Final_Pfizer-LOA-to-issue-with-BLA-approval-08.23.21_v2.pdf
Litigation has to be allowed if the vax is approved. There has never been a vaccine approved without a public and professional caucus about the vaccine, in our history.
The death rate is the lowest it’s been since last February.
Prioritize, your life over, over anything that could forced on you to cause harm to you or your families lives.
Fear is all these cowards have. We aren’t just sitting around doing nothing.
The war has started, but remember we are the defenders of the United States, not the invaders.
The day bullets fly, the great experiment of governed, individual freedom is over.
This will be a memorable week in this fight.
Fear is all these cowards have.
Truth!
FYI: Took a closer look at this document – seems the reissued EUA discloses the Pfizer vaccine is approved for those 16 years old and up but is still under EUA for those younger than 16 and also for uses not covered by previous EUAs.
No they didn’t get complete approval. Watch Dr. Malone.
So they can keep giving it to young people. Watch for them to EUA for young children.

“Painstakingly studied and reviewed, huh”? Okay, then let me see those studies and reviews then.
Oh, you haven’t fabricated them yet? Well, I guess I’ll just have to wait and see what kind of studies you come up with before I “believe” you.
Remember too, we may be being gaslighted here. Where exactly is the FDA document “approving” the vaccine? So far, we’ve seen a document extending the EUA.
As a practical matter there’s no difference. They’ll try to start passing more and more mandates either way. But it’s always fun to catch them in a blatant lie.
I assume everything coming out of Congress and just about all media to be gaslighting–or, heck, let’s just call it what it really is: LIES!
Seems a huge word salad on extending EUA for childen and the circle approval for the rest

There’s no “may” about it.
The thing to do with the blatant lie is to refute it everywhere so that it collapses quickly.
We’ve gotten better at doing that but we need to get better still.
Oh, I would be ROLLING with laughter (thank you Kudzu for this perfect reply) if the LIES by these people weren’t so demonic!!
The one that was approved isn’t available anywhere
Correct. Not yet manufactured.
I talked to a leftist yesterday who thought that silly name, whatever it is, is the new name for Pfizer, because the media told him that.
Not true. CommyInternationalRaytry or whatever its name is, is the name for a new drug in plans by BioenTech, not the existing Pfizer mRNA-experiment. And the important tidbit Malone dropped – that C abomination will not enjoy immunity from prosecution.
Considering Nancy Pelosi’s “upbringing” (her father was suspected of allowing the Mafia to influence politics) it is no-wonder to me, that she is carrying on with the Crime Family Tradition.
Her father, her Uncle were corrupt mayors of Baltimore. Baltimore is corrupt to this day.
Extremely well said.
Isn’t it amazing how REPUBLICAN totalitarian dictator PIG Paul Ryan elected NOT to choose changing House rules to allow Trump’s agenda to get passed.
Every single one of these Congress critters are CORRUPT PIGS.
Yes, EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.
Wouldn’t it be fun to see just what those Republican House scumbags Paul Ryan enticed into retirement in order to flip the House back to Pelosi are doing right now. Gee, shouldn’t we all want to see their tax returns.
I’m sick to death of listening to the Republicans whining. FACT: Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
May they all rot in hell.
There are no more Republicans, it’s the Uniparty.
EXACTLY! Apparently the Dems can do whatever they want to pass their agenda, but I’m supposed to believe that when in charge, the Republicans can’t do anything to represent us. Yeah, right!
The Republicans have the same agenda as the Dems!
Why don’t the People have a way to stop unconstitutional, illegal, illegitimate actions by Congress other than having to wait until an election? Or depending on other corrupted branches of the same federal government? How ludicrous it is for the People to expect one part of a corrupted government to check the illegal actions of another part of a corrupted government??? It’s insane, except, that’s what the corrupted federal government expects us to do.
In the Federalist Papers, Madison tries to assuage the People’s fears that the proposed federal government would abuse its powers and enact unconstitutional, illegal, illegitimate legislation. Madison explains that the People would have many avenues to remedy the proposed federal government’s unconstitutional actions. Federalist 46:
On the other hand, should an unwarrantable measure of the federal government be unpopular in particular States, which would seldom fail to be the case, or even a warrantable measure be so, which may sometimes be the case, the means of opposition to it are powerful and at hand. The disquietude of the people; their repugnance and, perhaps, refusal to co-operate with the officers of the Union; the frowns of the executive magistracy of the State; the embarrassments created by legislative devices, which would often be added on such occasions, would oppose, in any State, difficulties not to be despised; would form, in a large State, very serious impediments; and where the sentiments of several adjoining States happened to be in unison, would present obstructions which the federal government would hardly be willing to encounter. But ambitious encroachments of the federal government, on the authority of the State governments, would not excite the opposition of a single State, or of a few States only. They would be signals of general alarm. Every government would espouse the common cause. A correspondence would be opened. Plans of resistance would be concerted. One spirit would animate and conduct the whole. The same combinations, in short, would result from an apprehension of the federal, as was produced by the dread of a foreign, yoke; and unless the projected innovations should be voluntarily renounced, the same appeal to a trial of force would be made in the one case as was made in the other. But what degree of madness could ever drive the federal government to such an extremity.
Let a regular army, fully equal to the resources of the country, be formed; and let it be entirely at the devotion of the federal government; still it would not be going too far to say, that the State governments, with the people on their side, would be able to repel the danger. The highest number to which, according to the best computation, a standing army can be carried in any country, does not exceed one hundredth part of the whole number of souls; or one twenty-fifth part of the number able to bear arms. This proportion would not yield, in the United States, an army of more than twenty-five or thirty thousand men. To these would be opposed a militia amounting to near half a million of citizens with arms in their hands, officered by men chosen from among themselves, fighting for their common liberties, and united and conducted by governments possessing their affections and confidence. It may well be doubted, whether a militia thus circumstanced could ever be conquered by such a proportion of regular troops. Those who are best acquainted with the last successful resistance of this country against the British arms, will be most inclined to deny the possibility of it. Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of.
Madison also tries to assure the People that a standing army controlled by the proposed federal government would never be a danger to the People because the militias — armed citizens — loyal to their states, would be an insurmountable obstacle for the federal government and its army.
Madison tells us that the question of unconstitutionality is not to be decided by SCOTUS. The People, acting through their states, are the ones who make this decision. When dealing with an abuse of power by the federal government, the states are the ones who act.
Madison also states it would be madness for the proposed federal government to enact legislation which the People and the states were so vehemently against.
I guess that’s where we are, now. A federal government which is completely corrupt and completely insane!
Should we not look to the solutions provided by the Framers of the Constitution?
Poor James Madison! His ideas rested upon the assumption that the American citizens in any era would be properly educated morally, philosophically, and factually: keep in mind that a majority of Americans post-1789 ranged from illiterate to possibly having a 6th-Grade education.
My 1890’s grandparents only went to the 8th Grade and were considered properly educated, or educated enough.
Now we have Americans with 16 years of education who are immoral, irrational in their thinking, and do not know or understand basic facts.
As a result, Madison’s ideas fail us today…or better, too many Americans fail his ideas!
Yes, many citizens have received the ‘glorious’ public education and are indoctrinated, not educated, immoral, and irrational.
Not all of us are.
Try passing one of those 8th grade exams. Not easy at all. Those people knew a lot more than the young people today.
Here’s the thing: Madison assumed that people in government would have a conscious, that they could be shamed, and that public opinion would matter to them. That’s no longer the case. Those in charge have sold their souls to the devil, and they do not care what anyone thinks of their blatant betrayal and tyranny.
… and they do not have to care because the citizens have no power… because our elections ARE RIGGED, nationwide. They have the power to rule over us without our consent… and they merely deceive us into believing our votes and elections are authentic. The politucal elite class, globally, despises the people. They pretty much always have throughout human history.
Judeo-Christian values, the teachings of God in the Holy Bible… created western civilization. America, our Constitution is the result of those Christian values in which God demanded we treat all human being with dignity. Our Constitution was written to enshrine those precepts and ideals. We did not always follow them (slavery) but they CONVICTED us and forced us to live up to them … over time.
The west is increasingly Atheist now, especially Europe. America still has many faithful Jews and Christians remaining but those numbers dwindle with each new indoctrinated generation.
“America still has many faithful Jews and Christians remaining…”
It is generous of you to say but as a jew I can assure you that the number of faithful Jews in America is minuscule. The small orthodox jewish community has really nothing to do with the larger secular American leftist-progressive-marxist Jewish community. It is a hard truth to say but am sick of lies.
Yes, completely true.
Shaming and public disapproval are not the only remedies Madison mentions.
I’ve been saying for a long time that we will never vote our way out from under tyranny! You can’t reason with tyrants. You can’t plead with them to stop. You can’t “ask them” to resign and expect them to do it. You can’t submit your way out from under tyranny. You can’t pray your way out from under tyranny.
Yes. Voting is not effective, especially when elections are stolen. With all attempts to remedy the fraud and crime being thwarted by the very entities created to safeguard our Rights.
+ Christian values.
Very true, but this has been obvious to anyone paying attention for decades, probably since WWII. I had my epiphany thirty years ago. I became active in politics, money, volunteering etc trying to get challengers elected to office. Yet election cycle after cycle the same old people got elected.
Who is more to blame those in power who’ve sold their souls or the voters who mindlessly kept electing them?
It doesn’t even matter anymore as these rulers have accrued so much power they brazenly steal elections.
You’ve touched on such an important issue. The same people keep getting elected.
I don’t mean to be boring and keep harping on the Federalist Papers, I like to understand why. Why are things done one way and not another; why did people decide to do this as opposed to do that. Even in my job, my manager recognized that in me and took time to explain. He didn’t just teach how to do something, he explained why. I was so grateful for that understanding in him.
Why are the terms in the House two years and the Senate six years? The House is called the People’s House because we directly elect them. The members represent us — the People. House members are supposed to be loyal and obedient to their constituents — no one else. Political parties have stolen that loyalty and obedience of our representatives from us.
Two years. If a representative didn’t perform to the satisfaction of his constituents, he would not be re-elected. Two years — long enough to know what kind of representative he would be, but not long enough to do lasting damage. This is one of the checks and balances from the Framers.
That ‘check and balance’ incorporated by the Framers has been stolen from us by political parties. Constituents no longer have the ability to get rid of bad representatives every two years because political parties control everything now.
The same people keep getting elected because political parties have created the system that way. Laws have been made which favor the dominant political parties. Private organizations which totally control our elections and who the candidates are. Voters are at their mercy. Some places a person can’t even vote unless they register under a party.
It’s the reason so many times people vote the lesser of two evils. We don’t want either candidate, but we are stuck. We have no control.
” Why don’t the People have a way to stop unconstitutional, illegal, illegitimate actions by Congress other than having to wait until an election?”
We do. It requires us using the rights given to us in the 2nd amendment to protect us from a tyrannical government.
I was hoping for a less violent means.
I consider that the last resort. Are we there, now?
I don’t know.
But we are too lazy, indifferent to our new world or just deep down don’t care. Sad but true. But we still think it can’t happen here, but it is right in front of us today, yet zero urgency just more hand wringing. Yes i am saddened by where we are and seem to be going at light speed.
Lazy, indifferent, apathetic. Yes. I think many people just don’t understand what we have here in the US. As long as people have their ‘creature comforts’ — cable, internet, video games, gas, grocery store, mall, money — whether it’s from a job or the government — many people are happy to be uninformed about what the government is doing. As long as it doesn’t affect them, impact their daily lives, they are happy with the status quo. They will let others make decisions — such important decisions they are, too.
I like to listen or read accounts from people who have lived under communism, under totalitarian regimes. They warn us. It just smacks me in my face, everything we have and everything we are going to lose.
Very interesting. I am not a student of the Federalist papers and had not ever read that before. I wonder if only a handful of people have read and considered these words from Madison. It seems that allowing SCOTUS to be the sole arbiter of what the People consent to has been wrong from the beginning. As we have often lamented, in essence we are ruled by 9 unelected, unremovable robe-wearing human beings with all of the frailties, emotions and temperament weaknesses as any other human being.
On the other hand, I’m not sure Madison’s prediction about the power of the people can stand against the arsenal that the current federal army has access to.
Isn’t this the concept of “nullification” that has been alluded to at various times. If we present this to our state and local governments and fellow citizens, maybe Madison’s words would elicit some action by the states and locals.
In our current fight, we might find more inspiration from the Anti-Federalists. Their fears and objections to forming a powerful central government were well documented.
https://www.thoughtco.com/anti-federalists-4129289
Oh, yes. The Anti-Federalists! Patrick Henry — give me liberty or give me death. His speech is a favorite. I memorized part of it — more than just the ending — for a Thanksgiving dinner one year.
The Anti-Federalist Papers, not as well known as the Federalist Papers. Just as important, even more in some ways.
“Still other Anti-Federalists simply feared the new government would become too involved in their daily lives and threaten their personal liberties.”
Sounds familiar.
Yes, this is ‘nullification’ some people swear up and down is illegal. People against nullification point to one instance in our history which actually was an illegal action. Going by my memory here….one state wanted their ‘opinion’ of a federal law — that it was unconstitutional — to be the rule for all states. Disregarding the other states’ opinions of the federal law in question. Of course that is not Constitutional.
That is not the act of nullification of which the Founders and Framers speak. Jefferson was a great proponent of nullification. Jefferson was also an opponent of courts deciding what was Constitutional or not. He was vehemently against that. Some great quotes by Jefferson.
The Tenth Amendment Center is an exceptional organization which supports Constitutional governance and nullification. They are completely non-partisan. They don’t endorse political parties or allow it on their website. They educate and promote ‘The Constitution: Every Issue, every time. No exceptions, no excuses.’
People bring up the Supremacy Clause, but they completely misunderstand what the Supremacy Clause says. Only federal laws which are in pursuance of the Constitution are Supreme.
The FDA is completely unconstitutional. There is nothing in the Constitution which delegates authority to the federal government over food or drugs. Nothing.
The People had to pass an amendment to the Constitution delegating authority to the federal government over alcohol. Only then did the federal government have authority to ban alcohol. Then the People repealed that Amendment — which rescinded all authority over alcohol previously delegated. The federal government has no authority over alcohol — the people and states took it back by repealing the Amendment.
There are no amendments to the Constitution delegating authority to the federal government over food, drugs, agriculture, health of citizens, housing, education, firearms, tobacco, and a whole lot more.
Everything the federal government does regarding areas not mentioned in the Constitution are usurpations of authority. They are not supreme and should be nullified by the states.
These are the words of the Constitution. Only federal laws made in pursuance of the Constitution — laws which pertain to a power delegated to the federal government by the Constitution — are supreme. Everything else is illegal.
Just an aside, an FYI — if you want to call it that.
It was thought that the Federalist Papers would be taught in schools. Children would learn, from a few of the Framers’ very mouths, exactly what the Constitution means; what powers the federal government has and doesn’t have.
However, Madison wrote a letter to Thomas Ritchie in 1821 where he said about the Constitution, “the legitimate meaning of the Instrument must be derived from the text itself; or if a key is to be sought elsewhere, it must be not in the opinions or intentions of the Body which planned & proposed the Constitution, but in the sense attached to it by the people in their respective State Conventions where it recd. all the authority which it possesses.”
So, Madison believed that the people who ratified the Constitution — the ones who actually made the Constitution a law — are the ones who have the authority to say what the Constitution means.
The People, in their state conventions, were the law-makers. The law-makers say what the law means. That is completely in line with the beliefs of other Founders and Framers. What we know to be true. The law-makers define the law.
Courts can’t say what the law means because they didn’t make the law. Courts can only use the law as defined by the law-makers.
SCOTUS absolutely cannot say what the Constitution means because SCOTUS didn’t make the Constitution a law. Further, SCOTUS is the creature of the Constitution. The creature cannot define its creator — the Constitution. It would mean the creature is greater than its creator. That’s an impossibility.
Allowing that to take place — the government defining and redefining the Constitution — has brought our Country to this place.
Sorry, I don’t mean to come off like I’m lecturing or being ‘preachy.’ I have a couple of days off. I enjoy catching up on the Conservative Treehouse in my off time.
Please continue!
You are very kind.
Aren’t most SCOTUS rulings based on what the Justices think the writers of the Constitution meant, not what the People believed it meant? That is, the rulings that are not making up new stuff to insert, such as authorizing a new kind of “tax” on the people for medical care.
I know in the early days, the courts used the Federalist Papers quite often; quoted in rulings quite often.
I don’t know when the courts got away from the clear text of the Constitution and what the Framers explained.
I remember a case before SCOTUS — can’t say when or anything, it just sticks in my mind — about a treaty with Canada over birds –that’s why I remember, I thought it was silly — a bird treaty. The judge says (paraphrase) the Constitution doesn’t prohibit a treaty about birds, that means the federal government can enter into a treaty about birds.
There was much more to it, I am simplifying to the extreme. It stuck in my head because the judge’s reasoning was completely opposite to how the Constitution functions. When I read it, I remember thinking NO, NO, NO! That’s wrong! The federal government can’t do everything the Constitution doesn’t prohibit. The federal government can do only what the Constitution specifically delegates.
I remember yelling at the article — this happened way in the past, so being upset and yelling was so useless — did the judge never read the Tenth Amendment???
We all know, because of Sundance’s most excellent tutelage, that Congress does not write any legislation. Special interests, lobbyists write the legislation then ‘shop’ it around to members of Congress. Congress votes on the legislation, Congress ratifies the legislation, so they are the law-makers. They don’t write it, though.
So, SCOTUS using the explanation and intent of the Framers of the Constitution when making decisions would be equal to SCOTUS using the explanation and intent of the lobbyists (they wrote the legislation) in their decisions.
We all know lobbyists have no authority to write legislation. Only Congress has authority to write our laws. Congress isn’t following the Constitution in that regard; SCOTUS isn’t following the Constitution when they use anything but the explanation and intent of the law-makers.
It’s all academic (based on ideas and theories, not related to practical effects in real life) because the federal government hasn’t followed the Constitution in a very long time. It has no intention of starting now.
Madison correctly described the dynamic at play (as you concur: “that’s where we are, now.”).
On Sept. 14, 2021 CA will have it’s recall election, and other states will also be attempting their own maneuvers to resist. Therefore, we remain, for the moment, in the political-action phase of resistance (all citizens must, absolutely for the love of God, concentrate their energies here!). If this fails, as Madison indicates, the only other recourse will be the gruesome, armed conflict phase, just one, short step away.
We no longer have a judicial system to seek remedy. That’s been one of the biggest shocks to me. The Supreme court is refusing to hear anything that might be controversial. There are no longer checks and balances. As far as the States go, we only have 1 state govt. with any courage. You know which one it is.
I always love to read about Madison. His beautiful home in Va. has been turned into a museum of slavery.
Yes. That is a terrible shock. When SCOTUS said TX had no standing to sue the 4 states over their unconstitutional changes in their election laws, I was stunned, shocked, flabbergasted.
This is one of the reasons SCOTUS exists — disputes between states. TX absolutely has standing to challenge unconstitutional action which affects them and the rest of the Country.
I was dumbfounded.
Gee, Congress showing us again that they ARE the #1 problem in America.
DEFUND CONGRESS!
One distraction after another is how they roll in the District of Criminals (DC) then under the rug it’s goes while the massive destruction continues.
The Uniparty, has determined now is the time to destroy America. They are succeeding.
Showing that you get what you vote for.
No wait….
America officially launches into failed statehood as of this bill passing. There is no going back…. and all those Trumpsters hoping to retake their country in 2022 are now officially all in too little too late category…
So it looks like Trump was controlled opposition all along. In order to overthrow him, the leadership class has been given license to run more than roughshod over the constitution, coordinate the three branches all dominated by Intelligence (the secret fourth) and so on. The coup which started with Obama is now complete.
I wonder if Susan Rice will soon be President? What would be more perfect than a female black President who is also short? The national makeover will be complete. If they put Kamala in that’s even more of an insult since not only was her grandpappy a white slave-owner in the Caribbean, but also she’s clearly unsuited for high office and is a complete and total puppet.
Will Biden be allowed to live out his days, or after resignation will he soon have a heart attack (with Hunter allowed to live out his days on his recent art show sales)?
“illegitimi non carborundum”
Not happy to know that my Senator, Thom “The Tool” Tillis has enabled the approval of this debacle of a spending bill. SMH
So….this is the crap that results from Senate elite Rino’s bragging about how “bi-partisan” they can be?
Ever notice how these elite Rino’s could not be bi-partisan with the Tea Party reps….could not be bi-partisan with America First/MAGA reps…..
But can bend over backwards on bi-partisan bills with progressive-Marxist , corrupt Dems?
Yeah, because they’re all ON THE SAME TEAM! (It’s a big club, and we ain’t in it!)
They don’t bend over backwards, they always bend over forwards………
Good observation.
Nancy’s gotta do something! She must have seen the latest polls! She knows that they are ALL going down after they backed the Crash Test Dummy they installed. Things are bad in Afghanistan and are about to get a whole lot worse. They need something to save their collective rear ends in the interim. This is pure survival!
Right! When you can steal any election you want, polls don’t mean DiddlySquat!
Yes. Confiscating yuge sums of tax payers money and spend it on everything they want is what these rotten people do best.
Anyone have any idea what is in this $5 trillion spending bill?
Whatever makes America equitable, anti-racist, saves the climate and the people of the world. MOAB. Mother of all bills.
All the rotten things that make their world go around.
Let me take a crack at it: Lots of enormous Federal contracts to family members of Congress people as well to the political donor class, all couched in ‘good for the local economy’ language of course. Lots of quid pro quo always disguised as something else (it’s for the little guy dontchaknow) to the Multinational Corporate class. Huge bailouts to poorly run blue Cities and States to make them whole again (for there support of the takeover). What’s in it for you ?…. absolutely nothing. In fact, you’ll see more inflation, higher taxes, more rules, harder to make a living, loss of rights and freedoms …..
Did I miss anything?
Repeating what has been said multiple times in these threads and elsewhere:
The dems are traitors treason communist to our country.
No one should expect it to be won back without massive pushback from us.
What the pushback includes should be just more than writing to hour congressional rep or senator. Those ppl do not care at all for us.
Our biggest challenge/obstacle is I feel that there is zero organizational skills on the pro freedom side.
Steve Scalise just said, in the presser the GOP is having on Afghanistan, that Biden has spent the last two days on the telephone threatening democrats to vote for the tax increase.
As if there was any doubt. Afghanistan means nothing to this administration but getting their tax bill through is paramount.
I despise these people.
We’re ALL Californians now. Queen Nancy has spread her poison deep into the veins of America.
Yes, she is EVIL. She’s not a ‘good’ Queen … she’s the EVIL type … feeding poison apples to her subjects.
She may go down in history as the extremist who KILLED America. And the leftist Democraps cheered.
Unfortunately Many republicans also cheered along.
Kenji, history is written by the winners.
It’s so true is it not, when they move their lips, they’re LYING! Prime example…
Approved? Not exactly
Despite what yesterday’s news advertised, the FDA has NOT “approved” any covid vaccine! The only thing that occurred was Pfizer revised it’s Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to include licensing – nothing else has changed. This vaccine is still (as it has been since Fall 2020) in Trial with good/bad ‘effects’ being determined. There’s no arguing facts -which are attached so you can read, save and share as people deserve to know the truth as is required to be “informed”.
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/FDA-Letter-Final_Pfizer-LOA-to-issue-with-BLA-approval-08.23.21_v2.pdf
Yes, I knew is wasn’t “approved” when I saw yesterday that Pfizer wasn’t allowed to advertise it as approved. Just more coordinated propaganda that the press is eager to aid.
Mimbler,
copy, paste and share my comment it’s how we fight back, “Facts” matter because it counters the spin and hearsay.
Your link didn’t work for me. Here is one that does.
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/corruption/the-fake-news-that-fda-approved-the-vaccines-is-made-clear-in-the-letter/
The ole “Demon Pass”. Also know as The Highway To Hell”. Been down that road before!
Solendra projects will be in the bill. Thief, large scale thief.
The rule is there are no rules.
TEGWAR – minus the humor, boundaries, and humanity.
Millions of illegals given amnesty!
That is one reason many republicans (CoC republicans) are secretly behind the passage of these bills.
Stupidity and inflation were baked into the budget cake when Pelosi reinserted earmarks into the budgeting process. Earmarks are nothing more than congress buying and selling legislative votes amongst themselves. Every one of them have a price.
Our pastor last Sunday said that most of you are living in a bubble if you don’t think all of what is going on around us isn’t a threat to our freedoms.
This man has traveled the globe preaching Christ is our King for decades and knows that at any time evil can win.
It kind of took me aback bc I wasn’t expecting him to preach that.
We must be ready.
I am broken from wounds from combat and would rather die trying to save freedom and leave my children orphans knowing that they are able to live their lives and save it for the generations after them.
Thank you for your service SPQR. God bless you.
Once again, Nancy Pelosi shows us just how ineffectual John Boehner and Paul Ryan were. A determined leader will find a way, by hook or by crook, to get the agenda through. Of course neither Boehner nor Ryan actually WANTED the agenda they nominally supported to pass they just made a half-hearted effort and then shrugged and said, “we tried.”
NAZI Pelosi should take a walk down an Afghanistan street…OFF WITH HER HEAD! Her actions are a BETRAYAL of every American…this marxist must be prosecuted, impeached and thrown out of office…this can’t be legal! SHE IS A CRIMINAL!
We are DEAD if we do not break the Insurrection Narrative – it can not be let to stand and slip away from discussion.
A) Put pressure on REP offices, as to why they arent freeing those in jail, indefinitly, for a JAN 6 Protest (Protest, Protest, Protest, Protest, Protest, Protest) of the Theft of the Election.
until you CHANGE THAT NARRATIVE of inssurection to Protest – they OWN THE RIGHT TO KILL US for being terrorist
This is mandatory to live on this earth longer.
Example –
“Hi Rep ______,
Why are you letting your voters rot in jail now for an Insurrection Hoax? The FBI just said they had no case, and essentially fabricated the entire event.
This letter is to notify you that Protest will come to you now, and you will not get one Dominion machine used in your election if we have to chain ourselves to the machine in protest. You will not be elected again, period if you don’t get them out within the month”
I always add a final paragraph that says : I and many others like me will not only work for your defeat but we will work for the defeat of all the republicans in Congress and the destruction of the current republican party which is out of touch with we the People and the pact we made called the Constitution. A party that will not stand up for the Constitution, the country that it formed and We the People is useless. Be sure to pass that on to your republican colleagues and to the party heads – no money and no votes until you stand against election fraud, against political prosecutions and imprisonment here in the USA and against the abrogation of our individual rights guaranteed by the Constitution.
Ol’ nanzi better start reforming tax laws in order to pay for this. 99.9% federal tax rate for those in congress is a good start.
“Help us retake congress and we’ll show em!”
~ repubs
Sorry, that obviously hasnt worked in the past, and wont work again. F the repub party.
I’m not happy with the repubs either, but the last six months of destruction shows there is still a difference,
I’m sure the tax increases are embedded in the mega bills Because you have to pass a bill to see what’s in a bill of course.
It could be that she’s overplayed her hand…
What’s the use of proving Biden illegitimate if they get this passed?
Vindication is a very good mobilizing force.
fraud vichiates everything
Todd, perhaps it will encourage the state legislatures in the states where the votes were stolen to pass strict laws and most importantly to enforce them.
Remember: When Democrats talk about “democracy” they don’t mean what The People want through democratic, majority vote but what the Democrat Leadership wants by democratic majority vote.
Nuance.
Only by turning to Jesus can we save our Country. Open your eyes we have enemies all around us that have sold America to Satan followers we cannot recover ourselves.
POTUS 45 will not save us from ourselves, only Turning to God can save US.
This message is only For Christians.
All others light up the phone lines to your Rep in Washington see if anything changes, Nope.
Our Nation use to trust in God we can still save America what do you have to lose nothing but we can regain this Nation if we return to God.
Amen.
In the meantime McCarthy is asleep at the switch as usual.
He’s Paul Ryan 2.0 aka UniParty devotee.
Notice McCarthy has been conspicuously absent for the pivotal things happening of late. He doesn’t even have the fortitude to take a stand publicly.
Were the situations reversed, the dems would be grandstanding nonstop. They would be doing all kinds of shenanigans to circumvent their opposition. Since we’re not seeing that from McCarthy, I can only surmise he’s okay with it.
As Minority Leader, he could have just about any platform he desired multiple times a day.
At least Paul Ryan talked a good game. McCarthy isn’t even doing that.
Does anyone know if this changes the Republicans’ chance to defeat the bill if they all vote No (rather than voting present and not skipping the vote) per Marjorie Taylor Greene’s plan?
Along with everything else in Washington DC , the politicians are the enemy of the People. Except for a few the Republicans are no different than a Democrat. The bulk of them are; Communist/Fascist/Totalitarians. They are definitely in it for themselves and the People be damned.
It stalled for now.. Moderates turned away from her
Please, let’s not forget that establishment Republicans worked hard to KEEP Obamacare – John Roberts, Mitch McConnell, and John McCain turned on America to support Socialism.
I don’t think Loudermilk got this right. He said if they pass the rule change it would deem the budget bill passed. He said the budget is “inside the rule resolution”.
Sundance says it’s one vote on the omnibus budget bill would deem the additional 3.5t as passed.
Which is it? If LOLmilk misspoke or has it wrong, what does that say about the republicans trying to stop it?
Ok, we put some pressure on but if it passes, that is the economic collapse trigger. Even Wall street will recognize the way it went down and move to start the sell off. The public will follow and we are headed for doom.
Imagine that. Even the votes on bills in the House are rigged to get whatever the K-Street lobbyists want. Sundance is right, there are trillions at stake for these criminal politicians.
She’s gotta get this bill though before the 31st when the sh*t really comes down in Afghanistan.
Doll, you hit the nail on the head! Good for you for post.

They also want it done before the economy tanks and election fraud reveals come out. They may also know that Kamala is coming and want it done before all that sheet gets laundered.
There is also the Taliban victory celebration on 9/11 with hundreds of mass executions, torture, and beheadings, just to rub our noses in it.
Frankly the Capital should be marched on guns ablazing, so they would wish it was like Jan 6. This is beyond. There is no celestial intervention only the the need to water the tree of liberty for which there is no intestinal fortitude in any of the populace. Hello, Venezuela 2.
Uniparty Marxists continue their march to overthrow America & install tyranny.
This budget buster is going to get pushed through. It is no coincidence that The Federal Reserve (FED) is meeting this week to talk up continuing to ‘purchase assets’ (ie; print money) to support the economy. The FED chairman, Powell has been endorsed for re-appointment, that would only happen if he committed to create the trillions of dollars to ‘pay’ for the bill.
That’s the way Nancy does it, brilliantly so. With all the many crises going on, parents busy trying to get children back in school and the mask, vaccine & CRT arguments, the unmitigated Afghanistan disaster with the horrible scenes bombarding us 24/7, Nancy in the dead of night pulls the trillions of dollars bill across the finish line with a rules change.
So they are passing the green new deal, so we get the mineral earth from the taliban.? Demonrats are really stupid and dangerous.
When McConnell and crew backed the so called infrastructure because they would have leverage to stop the $3.5 trillion I believe everyone here knew that was bull. Now we know the ultimate plan was to pass $7 trillion. Romney and company will demand it be cut to $6.9 trillion. McConnell will sell any votes the dems need and I feel certain that Tillis of NC will be for sale.
Apparently, the vote is at 1:00PM today. If you’re so inclined, it’s time for everyone’s “all hands on deck” to pray, cry out to our God for mercy and protection against what evil Pelosi is trying to do!
I missed the “Pass and Deem” clause when I read the Constitution.
Clearly the Washington branch of the Big Club is not operating in a constitutional manner. The only way I see this getting fixed in an acceptable way, given the realistic options on the table and the collusion of DOJ and the military, is at the State level.
The States have to assert their inherent retained Rights, as specified in the 9th and 10th Amendments, introduced by James Madison the Architect of the Constitution, to DE-CERTIFY THEIR ELECTORS!
“I’m sure some will say, “BBBBut it doesn’t say the States can do that in the Constitution!” and my answer is “Read the 9th and 10th Amendment, they were introduced EXACTLY to deal with this eventuality.” Consider also the total CON that Peolosi et al are pulling that they can overrule it with their ridiculous “Pass and Deem” nonsense.
DE-CERTIFYING THE ELECTORS will in effect correct a glaring defect in the 1787 Constitution, the ability to recall their representatives in the House and Senate when they are acting badly. If people were going to abandon the over 150 year American tradition of Annual Elections, they darned sure better retain a method of recalling bad ones.
THIS is why the Arizona Audit is so important, to set an example for other States to follow. Not only does it provide a peaceful constitutional mechanism for recalling their State’s Representatives, and instilling a healthy respect for their opinions and welfare, it also provides a peaceful constitutional mechanism for the People, not the Big Club, to remove a bad/puppet President.
Enough with begging Pelosi, McConnell,
Biden, and The Supremes to do their constitutional duties.We must be proactive. No one ever won a war playing defense.
I agree in part. I think the first step is to demand that our states exercise their 9th and 10th Amendment rights by pronouncing that the federal government has refused to carry out its responsibilities to secure the border for the protection of the citizens of said State and has burdened said State and its citizens with invading lawbreakers without notice to or approval by said State and that all such invaders will be immediately ejected from said State and the State’s borders shall be secured from additional invasions by the State’s National Guard, Militia and Troopers as well as law enforcement entities throughout the State.
I sorely miss Rush. Can’t help but wonder if he’d say, “Now is indeed the time to panic.”
We’re under siege from every direction, multiple times a day. Part of their evil plan must be mass demoralization. Ultimately, it won’t work, but between now and then, we’re in for some mighty rough times. Prayer and more prayer.
???
I miss him too but remember, his escape-hatch was New Zealand. I don’t think even Rush understood the breadth and totality of the evil we were/are facing.
What money we have will be worthless pretty soon.
The dollar has lost something like 87% of its value since Richard Milhouse Nixon The Abandoner Of POW/ MIA’s, took America off the gold standard.
Nancy is only doing what she can get away with, knowing that her Republican “opposition” is stupid beyond all recognition and inept. If this scheme works, on top of the Republicans endorsing the 2020 election fraud, then the Republican party no longer has a reason to exist. The Democrats will not stop until they are stopped, and right now there is nothing in Washington to stop them. We no longer have a republic, we no longer have a democracy, the people’s interests are no longer being represented.
I’ve already concluded the Republican party does not exist. Who do they represent besides themselves? Bunch of greedy losers.
They could be stopped if the republicans get Joe’s old moderate buddies and prevent any removal of Joe. A deal is struck with Jill to prevent Kammie from moving in. This deal, or protection, requires Joe to purge the leftists by blaming them for all the bad advice and all the problems. The republicans/moderate buddies then come up with reasonable legislation. The moderates know they will lose the house and maybe their own seats but will only side with republicans if the radicals are destroyed.
Jill could be the key since she just had new drapes in the white house and Kamala has vowed to change them.
The republicans are not stupid. They are not weak. They are complicit and are actively aiding and abetting the destruction of both the Constitution and the country. They fully agree with the tyranny being enacted against the People.
