In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.
“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”
“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.
Whenever the possibility presents, throw sand into the machinery…

The all new “American Idle”
Credit The New York Post (Alexander Hamilton, founder) with the headline above and the news item below:
On Reddit, the “antiwork” [community] is now one of the social network’s most active and engaged pages, after seeing explosive growth during the Covid-19 pandemic. It currently has more than 1.6 million users, up from 180,000 in October 2020. People post epic text and email screenshots of quitting their jobs, but the real heroes are the so-called idlers—those who stay in jobs doing the absolute minimum while still collecting a paycheck.
https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/
Imagine all the millions of Social Security disability/retirement claims and IRS tax returns that will be processed by federal employees working at home in their slippers from their kitchen table.
Thanks for the post! This is not a new phenomenon! 45 years ago at my first job, I was stunned at the amount of energy some people used up trying to “look busy!” It took more effort to do that than to actually find something productive to do on the job. It was not a “money thing,”. It was a boredom thing. It was more fun to look for something creative and productive to do than pretend to be busy…
Back then, and for most of my career, the “idlers” were there but in the minority, and everyone knew who they were. They were the ones quick with a “funny story,”congregated around the proverbial water cooler, stopped by your office to “chat,”. And most people saw them coming and quietly closed their door.
I enjoyed your post. The great movie “Office Space” depicts your scenario.
In The 39 Steps, Alfred Hitchcock’s first great chase movie, the hero blunders into a meeting of (what seems to be) British Socialists, while he is being chased by the bad guys.
He is mistaken for the main speaker for the meeting, during which he is asked:
“Whu’ we gonna do ‘bou’ thuh idle rich?”
He simply says that he knows little about them, but that he has never been idle and never been rich!
So, today we have “The Idle Mediocrities,” children who have been told that they are GREAT without having to earn it, who were given good grades without having to earn them, who were given opportunities (“free public education,” “free money” from the government)…
…without having to earn them!!!
In one sense, a massive, hyper-inflationary depression would serve them all right, and (perhaps) focus their minds on work for earning a living, instead of it being handed to them!
Absolutely great movie!
Ausonius:
The People’s Republic of Decatur Ga taught me your thesis well.
The people showing up to influence the meetings WERE the idle rich.
Trust fund babies, wives with nannies to watch the kids while they
attended “meaningful “meetings. The worst were wives of MDs,
lawyers, and tenured university profs. Did not have any jobs, could
get child care providers at the drop of the hat. Worse, their politics
had never progressed from when they were “fighting the good fight
against the man” at college.
Their was still a small amount of middle class and retirees ( including
stable, married black families) in Decatur at the time. None of them
could afford to take the time off from work, or get someone to watch
the kids while the city fathers schemed for the next thing that would
pick their pocket, impact their safety, or waste time making meaningless
resolutions against something that republicans had did that pissed them
off.
The “Idle Rich ” were basically, all the initial starters of Communism.
The persons listed above are the ones that show up to meetings and lock
John Q Public out of the equation.
Didn’t go to the link but reading above:
‘idlers—those who stay in jobs doing the absolute minimum while still collecting a paycheck’
A significant event at work can break down morale. I saw this coming early in the plandemic. Compare:
Anyone who has been through the great layoffs or realignments of the 90s and early 2000s know the feeling of anger at the company. They watch their fellow workers being laid off or positions downgraded and have a hard time finding the energy to give it all again.
I was one of them who saw that in my large tech company. I wasn’t laid off but knew if I stayed, my heart wouldn’t be in it anymore. I left, found great opportunity and loved working again.
I had that happen to me in a workplace where the supervisor bought new equipment that was “off” ergonomically, and that damaged the hands of many people (including a professional pianist who was working weekends to pay the rent… she got a bad case of depression when her hands were messed up with carpal tunnel syndrome)
I developed tendonitis myself, and slowed down.
The supervisor, who had many degrees but could not type, was paid mucho dolares to make ignorant decisions and eff things up.
She would fit right into the Brandon administration….
SCOTUS just granted cert to the Asian students’ discrimination cases against Harvard and UNC.
The inscription on the pediment of our Supreme Court Building reads:
”EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW”
….. which drives the ‘Progressive’ Left insane . . . . albeit a very short drive to begin with.
Look for an effort to chisel out the “Equal” and fill it in with “Equity.”
In a salty, spicy and cynical mood this morning: “EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER THE LAW”. AS IF…
Should read, “equal social justice under the law!” Of course, you’d also have to rewrite the Constitution for that new motto to have any truth to it.
EXACTLY . . . Which is why the left studies our Constitution for the same reason the Orkin Man studies insects.
Equal INJUSTICE for those not exempt under the law.
The leftists have always struggled with Asian immigrants. Being immigrants should qualify them for receipt of the leftist BS, but Asians are smart, and that disqualifies them. Smart can’t be controlled.
James Lindsay, watching narratives crumble
@ConceptualJames
Very important cases. Race-conscious admissions must be made unconstitutional. The logic of disparate impact must be left behind.
*******
“The court said it will take up lawsuits claiming that Harvard University, a private institution, and the University of North Carolina, a state school, discriminate against Asian American applicants. A decision against the schools could mean the end of affirmative action in college admissions.”

I&I/TIPP Poll: Americans Agree —McConnell, Pelosi, Fauci And Breyer Should Ride Off Into The Sunset
https://tippinsights.com/i-i-tipp-poll-americans-agree-mcconnell-pelosi-fauci-and-breyer-should-ride-off-into-the-sunset/
Mitch McConnell has become a lightning rod of sorts for criticism from all sides, so, not surprisingly, he gets the biggest response. Overall, 59% of those queried said he should quit as Senate minority leader, while 17% said no and fully 25% said “not sure.”
But his House counterpart, Nancy Pelosi, isn’t far behind. Overall, 56% of those who responded to the poll want her to leave, versus 27% who don’t and 17% not sure.
Chuck-E-Cheese Schumer also has numbers that are similar to Pelosi’s.
I was reminded of the ‘man in the street ‘ interviews where no one knew who these people are. I attributed a possible change to our VSG P DJT. Hubby said ‘which president’? I got to thinking – probably both.
President Trump for what he did – and Biden for what he is doing and undoing.
Since we have given up national news, I wonder what a ‘man in the street’ interview today would reveal?
How ’bout they all just do a Thelma and Louise?
They are all such un-likable arseholes!
Americans are not aware that the RINO’s led by McConnell, McCarthy and Graham have done as much to undermine the American people and our liberties as the far left IMO.
Make NO mistake this is the Globalist Uniparty and McConnell has been one of the ringleaders all along.
It is time ALL RINOS are voted out of office.
Infowars had a post yesterday on subject of Laura Loomer confronting the NRCC leadership. She was cut off at every point. It should be obvious to everyone at this point that the RNC is not interested in those they represent, no longer care or follow the Constitution, Bill of Rights. They are all in on crushing liberty, private property, etc. They are all bought and compromised.
“https://www.infowars.com/posts/laura-loomer-confronts-gop-leadership-at-nrcc-retreat-over-anti-trump-rinos/” I am not a fan of Laura Loomer, but she is asking the right questions and pushing back.
There is much more worth reading in this post, just posted a section below for reference:
Kevin McCarthy gave a presentation about His goals and focus for the 2022 election year, and he included a slideshow presentation equipped with images highlighting issues that he claims are the most important issues for Republican voters. I noticed that election integrity and big tech social media censorship were not mentioned by Kevin McCarthy at all during his presentation. There was no mention of the stolen election, and I didn’t hear President Donald Trump’s name mentioned once. There was also zero mention of the “America First agenda”.
After McCarthy finished speaking, “TEAM MCCARTHY”, a panel of his staffers gave a presentation where they talked about candidates who they thought were worthy of being invested into by donors, and they showed a screenshot of what they called their “2022 Top Targeted incumbent list”.
This list included 10 incumbents who they wanted to remove or challenge. There were 10 people on the list, and I noticed that none of the 10 Republicans who voted to impeach President Donald Trump, including Liz Cheney were on the list. Why wouldn’t the NRCC want to remove RINOS who voted to impeach President Trump?
Disturbing, as usual! With such facts as those you present, we should expect no significant MAGA advances under a McCarthy, McConnell congress.
Who remembers who the previous GOP majority leader was prior to McConnell? If memory serves me right it was Bill Frist of Tennessee, ‘another real beauty’ as President Trump might phrase it.
A bit of a slide but I just ran up on this: JUST IN: Supreme Court Declines GOP Leader McCarthy’s Challenge to Pelosi’s Unconstitutional Proxy Voting Scheme (thegatewaypundit.com)
Ok, supremes. We’re going to remember how finely you sliced and diced justice under communist rule.
Conservatives, to claw back a balance of power, will be using those same ‘oh so fine legal rulings’ to politically extirpate all Marxist philosophy from US agencies and congressional records and acts.
I hope you are as enthusiastic about your previous legal rationales under conservative rule as you were under communist rule.
I don’t think we have enough time to vote them out. Mitch has at least 5 years left on his term.
I’m afraid those who answered that poll just want to replace them with “new, fresh faces”like AOC and her ilk.
😳
Replace them with new HORSE faces like AOC. FIFY.
Great! Does that mean that McConnell and Pelosi will start holding hands with each other in solidarity! Good grief! The unthinkable is always at hand when it comes to the corrupt GOP.
Companies Linked to Putin’s Pipeline Contributed to Schumer Campaign

And Jim Crow China Joe’s first act was to treasonously/criminally shut off our pipeline which brought us energy independence and cheap energy. Is there a correlation with your news link? I think so.
Now we see clearly what the function of the Russia hoax was, i.e. a massive cover to shady Dem dealings on dozens of issues.
Now that you’ve let the cat out of the bag on that fact,
riddle me this: How much behind the scenes $$$$ did team Clinton
receive to broker these “shady dealings on dozens of issues”.
Remember: accuse others of that of which you are the most guilty.
She was guilty of Uranium One for those who remember, long before Russia, Russia was unleashed on General Flynn and President Trump.

Incredibly sad and frustrating trend! I have a family member who is in this category – early 20s and living in his parent’s basement,where he watches movies and “works on his screenplay”…
My folks would have never allowed that. Even if I didn’t have a job – I’d need to be out of the house for 8 hours a day looking for one. Sitting around, watching movies, or “working on a screenplay” that has a snowballs chance in hell of being “discovered” would not be an option.
Ha! My parents charged ‘room and board’ unless you were a full-time student. You also were responsible for any long distance phone calls, auto insurance, haircuts, clothing bills, etc. It was definitely a ‘tough love’ approach to our getting jobs.
Somehow the younger generations have been led to believe that they should follow their “passions” for a career. I told my kids, that’s what hobbies are for. Jobs/careers put a roof over your head and food in your belly.
In most states working papers can be given at 14 years of age, for many good reasons.
Had a STEM daughter…Biology major. One day she came to me and said she was switching majors to psychology (no offense to psychology majors!). I said okay, you can either pay for that yourself or pick another science. Geology! She traveled the world doing research, got a job in the Geology lab, moved to California and is working with High tech companies.
When I was going to Penn State, I was talking to my Dad about picking a major… I said Drama or music. He said, no, that’s what you do in your spare time for fun while your earning a degree to support yourself. I did both, earned a degree to support myself AND had fun with the other stuff!!!
Good for you! It looks like your parent’s style, passed on to you, then your daughter made for wise choices and success!!!
Very true! However, if you ‘flip the coin’ over, you will see another important corollary of your comment, i.e. that aside from “putting a roof over your head etc”, anyone that is constructively involved in the production of some good or service that the general public values and is willing to pay for, is helping their fellow man more, much more than founding a non-profit kitchen line to feed the poor. The reasons for this should be obvious: the more businesses that open, and the more workers that are available to those businesses, the lower the cost of living will be for all, and, as a result, the greater the purchasing power of the dollar.
This is placed poignantly in context when we consider that, of all of life’s fondest desires, emotional imperatives, and urgent needs, none is greater than being economically able to marry one’s first sweetheart toward the end of adolescence and to pursue dreams of having and supporting a family in the midst of a cruel, indifferent world.
If every able-bodied person lends his talents toward the production of goods and services that are made more affordable by virtue of his contribution therein , there is nothing more important that he/she can do for their own security and that of their fellow man.
The foregoing is so obvious, yet because it is so, it seems to be invisible to most people.
Forget the modernist trope that the highest calling is to be a humanitarian. One should work to support oneself, and in doing so, will be contributing to the affordability of society in general, and toward happier and more fulfilling lives.
Young sweethearts will be thankful in such a world as that, and maybe their parents won’t go broke supporting them, then later driven to drink and end up eating their meals at a soup kitchen.
What excellent points and post!!!!!
Old school, You must be old! That’s not the “current” vibe!!!!😂

Exactly same experience…and i count more young men not working and on medicaid than working and married. We are definitely screwed.
“You dont work….you dont eat”- Jim Bronson to Temple Brooks

O.M.G.!!!
My former son-in-law did exactly the same thing to our daughter for 5 years: he was the next Orson Welles…except he had to buy and watch all kinds of movies day and night for his particular education.
Our daughter had the real job, while he occasionally found piddly part-time thngs thrown to him by his friends who had their own companies.
We had a connection to employment for him at Sony in Hollywood: he turned it down! “I’d have to leave all my friends!”
After realizing that he loved her credit cards more than her, our daughter divorced him after 5 years.
That is a sad story. Is there a happy ending for your daughter?
She is now a 40-something single: I suppose her life is what she has made it.
Her ex-husband seems to have soured her on men in general.
I am so sorry to hear this. But, Dad! She’s 40-something!!!! And for those of us 20-30 years older than your dear girl, Lots of miracles can happen! Prayers!
Lord! I think we know the same people!
Same thing is happening in China:

Declining birth rate too.
And precipitous decline in family formation as more and more children are born out of wedlock.
That’s a good point. How much do you really have to work if you don’t have kids to support?
Not very much if you like living in your parents’ basement. And not very much if said “child” thinks that’s a good wayTo live…Or if your mom is still cooking for you, and if your not contributing to paying the bills, and you Mom is still doing your laundry, and cleaning your basement room, and you have your Nintendo, Geeze!!!! What was I thinking all those years ago? Independence seems to be vastly overrated!!!!!!
Palin’s libel lawsuit against the NY times starts today. In New York City. I don’t understand why her lawyers chose to file it in NYC. It was published all over the country, and she doesn’t live in NYC. Surely there’s a better venue than NYC for a case like this with a prominent conservative as plaintiff. Brings to mind Parler choosing to file its lawsuit in Seattle. Gee, big surprise that a leftist federal judge in Seattle would throw it out. I know you can’t just file a lawsuit wherever you want, but both Palin and Parler had other options.
Yes, many times the lawyers you hire actually work for the other side. This is an example! Palin couldn’t find a worse venue for her lawsuit except Washington DC and Portland!
Venue in a diversity case is generally where the defendant resides or where a substantial part of the events that are the subject of the action took place.
Well damn. I work for AT&T and had to get a religious waiver to keep working without the Rona jab come February. Today, being the only non jabbed person in my area I am the only one not out due to either Rona or some weird as affliction (shortness of breath etc.). Makes me want to just stay home and shut the place down.. To top it off the moron of the company in charge likes to send out emails to the entire company spouting bullshit shit he knows nothing about as if he is a real doctor or I care about his opinions on Rona. ….
Ok, vent over..
It’s so annoying when people who are well aware of your objection to the jab of genetic therapy feel the need to scold or chide you into getting it. Seriously, if I haven’t gotten it by now, please………….get a clue. It ain’t happening. And all of the advice you cc me on from outlets like the LA Times or NPR is not going to make a difference. I trust those sources as much as I trust Dr. “Two-weeks-to-slow-the-spread” Fauci.
It’s not a ‘therapy.’
A genetic alteration more like.
see “idle” post above. throw sand in the gears.
rinse, repeat.
Sounds like a perfect time to call in sick due to “food poisoning”.
My wife is seeing something similar in her workplace inside an organization of several thousand people locally.
A quarter of the workforce is out sick this week with the omicron variant in spite of being fully vaccinated, many of these people having had the third booster.
Some of these vaccinated people are now being threatened with disciplinary action because they are suspected of coming to work sick instead of staying home.
And yet …. management is still insisting that everyone must be vaccinated with the first two jabs, and then be vaccinated again with a third booster when their first and second jabs expire.
My wife will not get the third booster even if it she loses her job on account of it. You can dodge a bullet only so many times before one of them gets you.
My wife works at Walmart. Many people getting or testing positive for covid, all vaccinated, most boosted. They have had to wear masks at work. This ignoring of reality is purposeful. Pandemic of lies.
The funny thing is that, with few exceptions, they aren’t very sick. At worst a sore throat and mild cold symptoms. They obviously feel well enough to come in if they are being threatened with disciplinary action.
PCR tests are SO reliable.
Good luck to your wife…
And she could show the clueless management the Epoch Times article kn life insurance claims today…
Or maybe you could have a friend send a printout anonymously. It is hard if not impossible to fix stupid, but maybe they could get a clue. Maybe

Oh yes, I do not miss telecom Corp-Speak baloney even one bit. These folks would likely NEED to hire you back as a contractor if you left suddenly for your own reasons.
.
Yes you give up their “medical benefits” BUT noting beats your own independence.
.
It is a little scary at first having and managing your own shop BUT noting beats being free from the Mega-Corp’s own political correctness where issues are never really solved…
Take your “smoking” break too. Your throat is itchy… isn’t it?
It’s time to really start realizing and admit that this administration was put in place to destroy the United States, not only domestically but internationally. There are no more arguments that include “incompetence” anymore, it is entirely all intentional. Biden was installed because he has no cognitive awareness of what is happening and the administrative state that is full of treason and traitors is running the show. It is crystal clear right now.
I would further that: Biden was installed so he can absorb blame, like a diaper, so that those actually in charge can shove the reset as fast as possible and then scapegoat him. In that respect, I do think that Biden is just an empty suit: he was perfect for the job BECAUSE he has always been regarded as incompetent and barely aware of whats happening around him.
And dumb as a bag of rocks. And easy to buy off and blackmail.
But why belittle a bag of rocks for this imbecile?
He’s disposable. Your observation is sadly dead right. Soros’s Red Diaper babies are pulling his strings for Soros as Ginni Thomas has pointed out and is getting attacked for saying it. Soros is heavily involved in Ukraine
It is. Long overdue.
I would add that we are nearly a century into a series of administrations, from city hall to DC, put in place to slowly and systematically undermine every value and institution that made America the final obstacle to world governance.
–
It’s all about money! Our “leaders” are mostly all on the take and do what they are paid to do by our enemies. We must find a way to put a stop to this foreign money coming in, to corrupt our leaders. I’m not sure how to do this, but perhaps the old-fashioned guillotine might be one way.
Don’t blame Nixon. Blame Bill Clinton who sold the US to China.
Nixon was a CFR puppet scumbag from the get-go.
The before and after of Nixon going to China is startling.
Jobs, futures, middle class, local economies and autonomy all started
slipping down the drain. Currently, we are at the stage of all of the
aforementioned being thoroughly flushed down the toilet.
No other explanation.
It sure seems that way; but why would the four branch (IC) be a participant in stealing the election?
If the economy collapses, the dollar will go with it, and thus their domestic and international power goes bye bye.
One theory is that the IC is just a stooge of a higher power?
It just feels like some Satanic evil force is operating in the shadows right now?
They level of global coordination of this evil is just too high for a mere global cabal of lost souls.
He is a puppet, but not an unaware puppet. This is his choice…to be the mouthpiece for his Chinese financiers, those who have massive blackmail on he and his family, and for his own massive ego. Bitme wanted to be President for all his life, and his grifter wife and family wanted whatever would keep them in $$. Their souls were sold way back…
Quite.
It is not enough to lay waste to the economic engines of America.
They have to also destroy the virtues that built it as well as emasculate the best of us.
And, that is not all. They must “convince” those in our society that our most cherished traditions are in fact “wrong” by distorting and fabricating our own history.
In short, mortgage our future, give away our heritage and smash livelihoods to pave the way for a reset away from the Republic, once I served.
I am not about to give up on those Republican ideals as recorded in the Constitution, nor will I forget those sorts of historic abuses recorded in the Declaration of Independence.
Mankind was, and is meant to be free. To be the best we can be.
start realizing?
Kb, Looks like you hit the nail on the head with a lot of people. “Incompetence” as an excuse no longer cuts it, however there is seemingly enough of that to go around. So who is the “administrative state?” It’s the question of the hour. Who, exactly is pulling the strings? The “usual suspects” are equally incompetent…Obama? Just as much a “puppet” as Biden. Susan Rice, same. Valerie Jarret? I think not. Soros…no clue, he seems to be everyone’s Boogey-man. Big Tech? Media? Certainly all have a stake in it but “pulling the strings?” No. I don’t have an answer, and I think we never will…the people pulling the strings are so well insulated that exposing them is next to impossible.

Watching on OAN now. Very interesting. Funny thing though-reading the ‘ticker’ headlines underneath, one reads “Beto ORourke doesn’t want Joe Biden campaigning for him” 😂
This is great! TY
Very eye opening!
Video Will probably disappear shortly.
Grab a copy while you can!
I think I’ve figured out the core issue with “Republicans”.
I got a notice in the mail that my driver’s license was suspended (the notice was dated 6 days after the suspension, lol). I got a ticket in a “speed trap” (the speed limit changed from 65 to 55 and the only change was the jurisdiction – no change in number of lanes, uncontrolled access, etc). We were headed out of town and I had forgot about it and lost the ticket since I couldn’t find it when I got the suspension notice Saturday.
The small city that annexed a small portion of this road in which the citation was issued voted 76.05% for Trump and 80.09% for the R senator, 82.09% for the R state senator and 73.71% for the mayor in the 2020 election. The mayor lost 3% and Trump gained 1% from the 2016 results.
So, why I got my licensed suspended is that all notices are on the citation. Nothing is mailed to you. So, if you lose the ticket , don’t know the name of the jurisdiction (luckily I did, most people wouldn’t) there’s nothing you can do until the driver’s license suspension (failure-to-appear) notice comes in the mail.
So what’s the problem? Well I thought it’d be weeks until I could get this cleared up (I’ve never had this happen in over 30 years of driving), but I called the court right when they opened, gave my date of birth and the lady said ok, you owe XXXX and I can take payment over the phone. I paid. She then said, ok do you have an email address so I can email the receipt and court documents you’ll need to show your states DL agency to get your license reinstated.
So, they got an extra $150 for the FTA and court fees. It was all robotic. At the end, I told her “I know its not your fault, but I find it ridiculous I never received notice after the FTA”. She replied, well all of our notices are on the citation, we don’t send anything out. So they know, it’s all just for revenue – its not about “safety”, they know they’ll get paid once the DL is suspended and can get extra fees because of the FTA. They don’t care about the impact it has on people. The system is built to have a lot of people get their DL suspended to ensure payment and collect extra fees, if it wasn’t then the documents needed for reinstatement would take days, not seconds to obtain.
I say this is the core issue with “republicans” because this is a 75% to 82% republican voting block that is implementing this policy. They don’t have to do it this way, but choose too. They like this power and the extra revenue. I have interacted with 2 people from this republican controlled “system” about this matter and both didn’t bat an eye about the suspension without notification. Both stated: well all of the notices are on the citation.
Yes, it is completely my fault for forgetting about and losing the ticket. But, a simple card that states “You failed to appear and have been found guilty, you owe XXXX and if its not paid by this date, you will have your license suspended”. Guess what, I would’ve paid it that day – same outcome without the “suspension” Which proves it’s not about “safety” but rather collecting more fees (hint: you gotta pay to reinstate your license, also will be done in minutes)
Government is the problem!!!!!
Welcome to how the 2nd and 3rd world ‘fund’ their jackboots in a poor nations.
Update, my license is fully reinstated after interacting with two separate entities (the out-of-state municipal court and my state’s DL agency) within 35 minutes of the court opening. All it took was money and then everything was instantly sent via email. This would be impossible if it wasn’t about the ability to collect extra fees.
I don’t see why you are linking efficiency to extra fees. If I had forgotten to pay a ticket I’d be happy it was this easy to get my license reinstated, and I don’t think the extra money was out of line. If there is no penalty, no one pays,
Its the “suspension” of the driver’s license without notification. Gov’t overstepping, there is other ways of collecting the money without going to the extreme, especially when every person involved went out of their way to say “all of out notifications are on the citation” – that’s bs, I was in public safety for over 20 years. This system is purposefully setup to create the fees.
There was absolutely no reason to “suspend” my license without first notifying me. You can’t put the first and second notifications all on the same document and say, “well that’s works”, without knowing the outcome.
My license was “suspended” (are very drastic measure, well at least it used to be) 42 days after the original court date. They put the FTA court date on the citation with no plans to notify you if you don’t appear, very odd unless you know that this percentage of people don’t appear and know you’ll end up suspending their license.
All I’m saying is this is a very drastic measure and uncalled for and I would be ok if they suspended it after you didn’t respond to being notified a second time, not failing to follow the 2nd notification contained within the original citation – that by default isn’t another notification.
I read what you wrote and I can certainly empathize with your situation.
However, in most jurisdictions a traffic citation is a summons to appear. It is a legal document.
The court does not send reminders. You have to take the responsibility unto yourself to follow the instructions on the citation.
An old saw states: “ignorance of the law is no excuse.” Callous, I know, but true.
Situations such as these can be fixed- but it requires effort on the part of folks to get involved in their local politics.
I agree with you. If you were illegal with no DL or a fake one nothing would have happened to you at all.
“Government is the problem!!!!!”
withdrawing consent is the solution.
With the “no cash” bail in New York, you never have to pay a fine. Does not make a difference if they suspend your registration or your license. If some NYPD cop even bothers to arrest you, you are no longer brought before a judge or arraigned. You are given a desk appearance ticket. If you fail to show, a warrant is issued. If some NYPD cop bothers to arrest you, you get arraigned and no bail is set because the judge can no longer set bail for this offense. So you are let go and free to drive. If you happen to get locked up again for skipping court, the judge still cannot set a cash bail. You are let go to drive again forever. You will never do time. There will never be punishment. A thugs paradise.
They no longer seize unregistered vehicles but they can if you run red light cameras. In the story below, NYPD did not even bother
A reckless driver whose car has racked up 160 traffic violations was arrested in the horrific hit-run crash that killed a 3-month-old girl in Brooklyn over the weekend, cops said Sunday.

Got caught in a speed trap years ago on a stretch with no hazards, on/off ramps, blinds, etc. Would have been a 55 zone. Doing about 5 over. Cop and radar staked out up ahead, daylight, clear, perfect driving conditions for safety.
When he wrote me up, I asked him how much did it cost to keep a police helo up in the air doing traffic patrols? He said, this wasn’t a trap; it was published in the paper the locations and dates of the speed monitoring. Sure. I’m going to read the newspaper to see where I can relax on speed control on what day of the week?
I asked him why they chose this place, where there have been no accidents in all the years of driving through it, yet a few miles and streets back at a problem intersection, it’s constantly in a state of accident/clean-up and never had seen anyone doing radar duty to tamp down problems.
Probably because it costs money to keep the chopper maintained and in the air. No comment after that. Safety, huh? Been around long enough to know how money drives policy, regardless the operation.
I had an encounter with a LEO on small 2 lane/2 way highway in an absolutely empty part of Big Sky Montana many years ago.
I was living in SoCal at the time and was in Montana visiting my mother. Not a buffalo or a cloud or a car in sight –just an occasional tractor WAY off in the distance over the prairie. I was buzzing from the town where my mother lived over to the town that had been our home town . Our 1200 acre farm was 9 miles from that old home town.
Got pulled over by LEO for speeding. I have no idea how far over the speed limit I was. Waited for him to hand me the ticket, as I pretty much knew I was actually speeding.
He pleasantly hands me the ticket and says, “That will be $5.”
I sort of stare at him as in, “Huh?” And he says again, “That will be $5,” as though I had just purchased something at the hardware store than rang up to $5.
So. wamting clarification, I asked, “Can I mail a check?” …..”Naw – you can just give me $5.”
“How will I be able to prove I paid you?”…………….. “The ticket is your receipt.”
So I gave him $5 cash, went on my way, and everyone was happy.
That was during the Carter 55mph mandatory speed limit that imposed penalties on states that didn’t enforce it. Montana authorities, full well understanding their wide open spaces, were completely disgusted that the feds required them to enforce stupid speed laws.
So Montana told the feds,, “Fine. We’ll enforce the speed laws. No matter how fast someone is going, the fine will be $5, and they can go on their way. We won’t have any paperwork. They won’t have any huge expense. Happy, feds?”
That was SO weird!
.
I had a very similar experience — I explicitly called what they were doing ‘lawfare’ and a method of warfare against poor people.
I did not lose my citation, I ‘entered the payment system’ on the very last day I had to pay and was told there was no record, and silly me, contacted the court for further instruction only to be embroiled in nine months of back and forth B.S.
After I paid the ticket with the notation that it was proffered as ‘full settlement’, I was not only issued an arrest warrant for the bogus FTA crap they were trying to pull while they were in shutdown mode for their precious virus, but also got a notice from the state DMV that I could not renew my DL in that state until this extortion was paid.
I got this citation in my neighboring, native state where I originally got a DL in my younger days, but have not held same for over twenty years — and the CITATION reflected my current status, as I, of course, presented my current license of my current state to the citing patrol man.
The system is a scam . . .
Falling for an unethical speed trap was not your fault.
In Redding CA.,
there is a signalized intersection including a red light.
By postcard, a person was fined $ 450. The reason?
The vehicle was not stopped for 4 seconds (allegedly).
The fine would increase if not paid is due course.
Due Process?
The right to meet the accuser? (it’s a computer / software with unknown variable settings…it is hidden).
How much do people want to lawyer up to defend against that 4 second accusation?
At what amount of additional time and expense?

https://time.com/6140308/domestic-terrorism-justice-department-unit-joe-biden/
the unit will presumably rely on existing laws to charge domestic terrorists with other offenses, such as hate crimes and firearms offenses. “A statute that applies generally to all terrorism occurring in the territorial United States, regardless of the ideology motivating it, could be useful to fill the gap that currently exists in U.S. terrorism laws,” says Mary McCord, a former U.S. Attorney and director of Georgetown University’s Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection.
FBI officials say their domestic terrorism investigation caseload has more than doubled from 1,000 to 2,700 over the last 18 months alone, forcing the agency to increase personnel by 260%.
Today Americans are more likely to be killed by domestic extremists than foreign-born terrorists, Jill Sanborn, the executive assistant director for the FBI’s National Security Branch, told lawmakers on Jan. 11.
In his confirmation hearing, Attorney General Merrick Garland vowed that he would “do everything in the power of the Justice Department” to combat domestic extremism. During his tenure, the Justice Department has charged more than 720 people involved in the Jan. 6 attack in the largest federal investigation in the country’s history. In its budget proposal last May, the department also requested an additional $101 million to address domestic terrorism. This includes $45 million for the FBI, with 179 additional positions dedicated to the domestic threat, including 80 agents, and $40 million for federal prosecutors to add 100 extra positions across the country to handle the growing number of domestic terror cases.
They won’t rest until all garage door pulls nationwide are inspected for any sign of racism.
Seriously though, how does hiring even more domestic terrorists (ie FBI = Gestapo) solve the problem?
If MAGA gets in, job one should be to fire the entire FBI (Top to Bottom) and restart a new organization at about 10% of its present size composed of Patriots; that by definition operate within the confines of due process and Constitution. Perhaps some FBI in local offices with proven MAGA credentials could stay on, but I think the entirety of the DC office needs to go, just to make sure.
Once we have a Constitutional FBI in place, job two will be to prosecute the criminal’s orbiting the DC (Political) and NY (Economic) power centers under the organized crime statutes.
Hey, I can dream, can’t I? The sweetest victories are those achieved against all odds against an evil foe.
We need to force the “defund the FBI” platform into the mainstream. If it appears only a couple “rogue” politicians are demanding it, we all know what the FBI will do to them. If its a tsunami of demand, they cannot bury us/them all.
No, the goal is shut down most of these agencies and leave it to the States to deal with their problems on their own terms.
I agree, we can rebuild these capabilities at the State or even city/county level first. DC would then just have representatives from these offices for coordination. Basically, bottoms up rather than top down.
Unfortunately the bureaucracy of the FBI is not outlined in the constitution nor does the FBI have an historical basis there. It was established in 1908 by two progressives, Teddy Roosevelt and Attorney General Charles Bonaparte. The US Constitution is based on “federalism.” We actually had a limited national government with jurisdiction over matters that crossed boundaries, like interstate commerce and foreign affairs, with all other powers reserved to the states. States fulfilled most government responsibilities.
They should start looking for their domestic terrorists in the White House!
And Congress. And DOJ.
For starters.
It sounds like Eric Clapton has been listening to Dr. Malone or to the same person Malone credits for the idea of”Mass Formation-hypnosis”.

The world has gone crazy.

Putin has masters degree in playing the distraction game and brinkmanship. He was a high ranking commander in the KGB and Commander of the Russian FSB. He may not always win but he knows the game and how profit from it.
It is lost on folks that Angela Merkel was a Minster In the East German Government when Putin was a KGB Commander stationed in East Germany. Look at the backgrounds of the current crop of EU Leaders, they attended political cadre training in their youth that would have been influenced and run by the KGB.
That’s right, Putin was a commander in the KGB stationed in East Germany and he had “contacts” with every one of the current crop EU Politicians when they were starting their “political careers”.
It is no accident that the EU is in “talks lead by Germany” 1-day after Sec State Blinken was in Geneva and 2-days after Sock Puppet JoeBama’s gaff(?) Green Lighting Putin ARE NOT being covered in the media very heavily, especially in the US.

Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire (Keep in mind this was CANDIDATE Trump)
Kiev officials are scrambling to make amends with the president-elect after quietly working to boost Clinton.
“Ukrainian government officials tried to help Hillary Clinton and undermine Trump by publicly questioning his fitness for office. They also disseminated documents implicating a top Trump aide in corruption and suggested they were investigating the matter, only to back away after the election. And they helped Clinton’s allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisers, a Politico investigation found.”

I had never heard a foreign leader talk disparagingly on a US political candidate in my life until this one from Ukraine. I’m taking a educated guess that Ukraine was desperate that Trump not win, because of the massive money laundering of US Democrats & Rino rats with US Foreign Aid that a President Trump could uncover.
The Democrats sent a Ukraine-American operative to the Ukraine Embassy that uncovered the Manafort propaganda. Manafort was doing the exact same thing that the pedo Podesta’s were doing in Ukraine

Gotta love how this is worded. People who hold their freedom dear are “anti-lockdown.” I’m right there with Eric Clapton – have lost friends because of my hesitation to take the genetic therapy. Also think there is mass psychosis regarding their feelings about getting the vax. – and their intolerance at anyone questioning these tactics.
I’ve also watched friends who were previously healthy and now watch as they battle chronic shingles, heart problems, and cancer. So am I still a “wait & see”. Yes, yes I am.
What blows me away is that this article doesn’t mention anything about the problems he encountered after he had the jab – the lost feeling in his hands that would make him unable to play the guitar (in other words – prevent him from his livelihood).
Why is America in the toilet, who did this to us ? The answer is easy ,those who wear mask and those who took the mRNA poison injections these are the people who help destroy America as we know it , the spoon fed lazy idiots who din do the research ,

Congratulations for buying into the Progressives’ divisive mentality. When I read posts like this, I ask myself why, as a vaxxed person, I even bother to defend your right not to be injected.

We did it to ourselves. We let left wing virtue warriors drive us into accepting their solutions. So here we are. A culturally divided nation trying to make a perfect life for everyone, which of course cannot be done.

Every day, it becomes all the more clear that “COVID-19” is the biggest international SCAM in history. “Jabs,” (only …) expensive proprietary medicines, various kinds of tests, and masks, are all provided FREE – which is to say, “at enormous public expense.” Meanwhile, government power is being used to compel “everyone on earth” to BUY it.
All alternatives are purposely suppressed, along with anyone who might dare to prescribe them or fill that prescription, while you are intentionally steered towards that lucrative ventilator. We get paid the most for the course of “treatment” that is most likely to kill you – c’est la mort!
Although the never-tested, never-approved “potions” are still being distributed under “emergency” authorization, the rights that you have under Federal law either to give informed consent OR TO REFUSE are being swept aside: there is no money in that.
This has nothing to do with public health, with the actual health threat posed by any virus, or the sanctity of “your own body.” In fact it does not care about you at all: literally hundreds of thousands of deaths and irreversible injuries mean nothing in this obscene quest for vast amounts of MONEY.
One wonders how much money “the Big Guy” is taking off the top. We already know that Fauci is collecting enormous Royalty Checks on top of his already-ridiculous Federal salary.
We knew that “money talks.” Now we also see how “money kills.” And it’s quite ready to kill YOU: just roll up your sleeve, point the Russian pistol at your head and pull the trigger. Maybe you’ll be lucky, maybe not, but either way we just got paid. 💰 By now, this whole thing accounts for multiple TRILlions of dollars.
Let’s be clear, and as Sundance has said………….
None of this is because of Omicron
ALL of this is because of VERY BAD POLICY driven by the Obama-Biden-Harris regime
Need proof who the puppet master is?
Look no further than where most of the Biden advisors come from.
Everyone should share far and wide………
It is not “bad policy”, it is strategic policy. Whose agenda is Obama implementing? HOw i that it runs unopposed? How is that China is able to exert so much control and, that all this “policy” aligns with the same agenda in every western nation?
None of this could be happening due simply to a senile grifter and a punk Marxist.
I wish I could feign surprise or outrage.

I have the outrage, but no surprise at all.
When I see all the garbage that’s being thrown out by the illegitimate regime cluttering up Washington and other places, I’m reminded of a warning from Winston Churchill:
“A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn’t happen.”
I guess the idiots claiming to be the government haven’t heard or absorbed this.
Gee . . . . who could have predicted this?. . . .
Who? . . . Everybody with a friggin’ brain . . . AND WE DID‼️

Another violence interrupter killed in Baltimore as community reels from gun violence
DaShawn McGrier is the third Safe Streets member to be killed in a year.
A man who worked on the front lines of preventing gun violence in Baltimore, Maryland, was shot and killed on Wednesday night in a quadruple shooting on E. Monument Street, in the McElderry Park neighborhood.
Baltimore native DaShawn McGrier, 29, worked as a violence interrupter for Safe Streets and is the third member of the organization to be shot and killed in the last year.
https://abcnews.go.com/US/violence-interrupter-killed-baltimore-community-reels-gun-violence/story?id=82430617
Absolutely heart-breaking and utterly frustrating! The issue that is causing almost ALL of the gun violence problems is a lack of prosecution of gun crimes…it is as simple as that, but no one wants to actually admit the elephant in the living room because it will blow up all of the multi-million dollar, taxpayer-funded “programs” that we were promised would “fix” everything! NO – allowing the police to do their jobs, which is arresting people who commit crimes, and then demanding that the DAs do their jobs, which is putting criminals in jail, IS the answer but the Progressives and the Woke Mob do not want answers that work – they just want money to keep their failed programs going!
We knew it was coming, but we had hoped that the do-gooders would have more sense than to volunteer for it.
Before Baltimore went “democrat” it was a nice city. As PDJT rightfully said, where did all the billions of dollars that US tax slaves had their wages stolen to send there go? The Democrat party is a criminal/treasonous conspiracy that should be RICO’d like they did in Mafia cases.
How about an audit from a legitimate company? I’d make you a bet you would nail a whole bunch of politicians and their criminal bureaucrats

There is nothing new in this Ron Johnson gab fest. A rehash of the same old, same old by the same old faces.
But it is a stark example of group think.
Here is a thought from from Dr. McCullough that the panelist regard as an inovative observation – “covid must be treated within 72 hours of infection.” Silly on the face of it- how is a person with the symptom of a headache going to know he has been infected with covid?
One thing all these panelist, including Ron Johnson , have in common- they despise Fauci. I can’t help thinking this is what’s behind creation of the panel.

Sorry should have mentioned this was a beautiful video yesterday in WAshington DC….against all mandates.
Don’t give up your guns. Ever.
A lesson that seems to not be easily learned by most.
Europe just released a quality control study on the nano lipid particle-based injections. Apparently, some shots had no poison, while others had over 7-8 times the expected amounts.
https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/documents/variation-report/comirnaty-h-c-5735-r-0046-epar-assessment-report-renewal_en.pdf
One thing many people forget is that not only is the targeting of just a ‘portion’ of the wild virus never been done before, the manufacturing and quality control of the amount of nano lipid particles in a particular as injected shot is ‘also’ experimental.
While having your cells make unnatural spikes is not safe or effective; at least the J&J uses a proven viral vector that is the basis of all other real vaccines of the past. Thus, it stands to reason that the dose level from shot to shot is more consistent as well.
Then again with Pfizer you have some chance of getting very little to no poison injected, but the tradeoff is it could also just as easily permanently damage or even kill you if get a higher dose of poison.
I have been reading how some people that had no problem with the first two jabs, died of heart attacks within few days of the booster. The range of reactions has been very confusing, and it could ‘all’ be explained from poor quality control.
Sounds like global game of Russian Roulette at this point. Perhaps that is the mechanism Satan’s stooges think they can get away, deliberately random amounts of poison? Thus, the push for an endless booster program on mankind, especially among populations that consume the most energy per person.
BTW global warming is smoke screen for the weak minded for the real problem. Namely, mankind running out inexpensive, net energy producing fossil fuels.
Let say they think a 1 in 100 chance of near-term death with a shortened lifespan based upon the level of poison for the rest that will be attributed to something ‘other’ than the jab, is not so high that it attracts attention by the sheep but is still high enough that it gets them to their objective of 500 million humans on the Earth.
.
Yep. I call it asymmetrical warfare, with no organized resistance because an actual ‘war’ has never been declared.
Too clever by a lot . . .
I did not find that information in the study when I took a quick look.
It may be htere somewhere.
What I did see is them completely clear the Pfizer vaccine of any serious side affects.
The word whitewash comes to mind.

Recently, however, Yang writes that there have been “a few developments that have changed my mind,” about Biden’s ability to win the field again in 2024.
“Joe’s weakness has continued,” wrote Yang, noting Biden’s sinking approval numbers, failure to move signature pieces of legislation, and questionable ability to face off against Donald Trump.
“Deference to Joe is dissipating,” wrote Yang, who added that there appears to be hesitation from a number of significant DNC donors who are contemplating “sitting out the next cycle until they knew what/who they were backing.”
The Stock Market is falling again today with no real end in sight. There will be “Bear Market” rallies somewhere down the road giving people a chance to get out.
The Stock Market manipulators reached their limit of control. No one thing has ever avoided reaching their limit and some point. No one entity has ever been able to maintain control of the Stock Market. It has been that way since before Jesus.
I don’t think it will get much attention by the People until the Stock Market drops below 30,000. Presently, the Stock Market is trading around 33,500. Right now the People are more focused on “vaccine” Mandates and supply shortages.
Not so sure about the Bear Market rallies down the road.

Given the facts that the Biden Regime has been an unmitigated disaster, that the stolen election evidence has not only NOT been memory-holed, but is mounting and that polling reflects that more and more Americans are realizing they have been deprived of their right to a free & fair election by an unelected Thugocracy . . . .

An excellent question. The Civil courts have been so compromised and complicit, it is difficult to think they would all of a sudden follow the “Rule of Law” as per the Constitution as it is meant to be. Speaking for myself, I little to no faith in the present Court system.

The rumors we first reported on back in December have turned out to be true: the United States federal government is apparently in the process of trying to force automakers to install kill switches in their vehicles that authorities can use to shut down any newer vehicle.
The law comes as part of President Biden’s infrastructure bill, which was recently signed into law, according to Yahoo. The government kill switch is – like all good thefts of civil liberties – being positioned as a “safety measure”. The mandate needs to be put into effect by 2026, Muscle Cars & Trucks reported.
