No modern American person has ever been under such a brutal assault as President Donald J. Trump has endured over the past several years. The mechanisms of the worst elements of a corrupt and corroded global government, and every rotten and weaponized institution within it, has exclusively targeted Donald Trump.
Yet, he remains standing – empowered by something larger and more unexplainable than any force we comprehend.
Those words are not arbitrarily chosen. They are the reality of our situation and not an intellectually honest friend or foe would dispute them.
No one has withstood more unilaterally focused assault as we have seen upon President Trump. Yet, he remains standing – impervious and still swinging for the fences in every effort. It is one of the most remarkable things to see and experience in history.
I am not foolish enough, nor do I hold an opinion of self large enough, to try and clarify these words of consequence. These words stand as a representation of this moment in history. The speaker of these words has our full and undivided national attention. My part, our part, is to remain steadfast in bearing witness to them, and commit to leave the field when called upon to put down the plow.
We bear witness to one person absorbing the totality of leftist hatred and still standing, steadfast and determined – even – dare I say – more determined.
From where is it possible such strength is received?
You may try to tell me what we are witnessing is a human determination built upon ego and hubris; however, this is not possible. Not at this scale, not even close.
Somehow, whether by the design of the universe and/or the providence provided by a loving and purposeful God, you cannot convince me the strength we witness is not an outcome of the force of prayer, even if silently conveyed and not fully understood as prayer, flowing from hundreds of millions of individual people and traveling directly into the heart of this man named “Trump.”
How this transfer of purposeful energy takes place defies my human capacity to understand it, but it does… it simply does. We are wise enough, eyes open enough, to accept we are witnessing something far larger than our capacity to understand it.
♦ Steadfast doesn’t mean when it’s easy; the term has no meaning when things are working according to our own convenient interests. Steadfast means standing strong when it’s challenging, difficult and unnerving. Just as courage is not the absence of fear, rather it is taking action despite being fearful; so too is steadfast a decision.
Often when things are disconcerting, we retreat to a place where we are comfortable. However, steadfast is unwavering despite the obstacles and difficulties.
When we don’t hold the words to comfort the grieved, yet we show up and sit quietly just to eliminate the loneliness, that is a steadfast commitment.
When we see adversity on the face of another, and we choose to engage with our time and comfort, that is a steadfast decision.
When we see one person under assault from every corrupt enterprise under the control of man and government, and we stand firm in our support and prayer for that target, we are making a steadfast decision.
Right now, those who wish to “fundamentally change” our nation are waging a full-frontal assault against our constitutional republic. The bombardment seems overwhelming.
Leftist city and state leaders have abandoned rule of law in favor of supporting a mob effort to destroy our sense of national unity. Political activists, left-wing ideologues under the guise of democrats, and a host of media allies are conducting an information war on behalf of their objective.
We now understand how Big Tech social media companies are attempting to remove the voices of those who are fighting back. Our eyes are wide open.
There is a great deal of purposefully driven anxiety and fear amid our nation as this multi-faceted internal war between truth and darkness takes place. However, there is a primary element to this effort that each person can act to counter. Do not let your sense of self succumb to this assault. Do not let them win the battle for your peace of mind.
It might, heck, -check that- it does seem overwhelming at times. But that is the nature of this corrupt collectivist strategy. That is the purpose of this bombardment. We must hold strong, steadfast and push back against their lies and manipulations.
If you look closely at this latest attack against President Donald Trump, it is weak and much of it is psychological bait. We The People are ultimately the target, he’s just in the way. Do not fall into the trap of despair they intend to create.
In July of 2020, it was our CTH mission to ensure that people within the institutions of our government were aware of: (a) evidence of specific corruption, and (b) our knowledge about it. It was during one of those briefing trips to DC when I recognized a serious disconnect between what the people within those institutions of government viewed as their role, and what We The People expected of them.
This was also the first time when I realized that internal corrective action was unlikely to succeed because the scale of corrupt activity was not simply based on intent, but also present because the absence of morality was metastatic throughout the system.
I’m certain there are good people in DC, but the systems surrounding them have lost their originating purpose. The central function of our U.S. government is now so corrupt the institutions regard ‘We The People‘ as the problem the people within the system must protect themselves from.
I quickly recognized the solutions to our national issues were never going to come from our requests to those who operate within the institutions. However, even worse was the impact we were having on each other due to our national frustration. It was evident within our frustration – as a nation – we were losing a sense of identity, unity and fellowship.
The only people who can change that dynamic is us.
We are ‘The People’ we have been waiting for; yet, the professional political class, purposefully walled off within this corrupt system, are also purposefully blind to our assembly. In order for the DC politicians to continue operating corrupt levers within a corrupt machine, they must ignore the will of the same people they are supposed to represent.
President Trump represents ‘We The People‘, and as a consequence, those within this corrupt system view his appearances with the same dismissive outlook they carry toward those who voted for him.
They want to destroy us, so they need to destroy him.
They want to destroy our faith, so they need to destroy hope.
They will fail so long as we remain steadfast.
CTH (The Last Refuge) was founded upon this acceptance long before Donald Trump became president in 2016; and the actions by both wings of the UniParty congress over the past decade have been clear evidence of what we always knew was present.
Our current national challenge is to figure out a way to confront this dynamic and then deal with it. However, we must deal with it in a way that does not destroy the founding principles of our constitutional republic. There are many disappointments around us, but we must remain strong and purposeful with any chosen direction. Misplaced corrective action regardless of intent is neither prudent nor wise.
Above all, those who understand the larger issues must remain united and hold a sense of fellowship toward each other if we are to overcome the challenges. The purpose of using fear as a strategic weapon to achieve division is evident (J6). Weaponized law enforcement can be an effective strategy deployed by those who benefit from division; we must counter this effort.
This moment in history is where each person of deliberate strength holds a higher level of influence. We should engage in the lives of others to show that strength.
Right now, as President Trump confronts the corruption, people around you are looking for courage, optimism and hope. If you do not provide that to your family, friends and community, you allow the alternative, despair, to take root.
Despair is the foreboding outcome of the same evil systems that create it. Recognize despair when you see it; intercept it and eliminate it when you can… AND you always can. Tend to the flickering flame of liberty & teach others, especially our youth, the skills to defend it.
Do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. We are a majority nation of liberty loving independent and free-thinking people; born under a compact to allow each to live their lives according to their own purpose. Do not abdicate the duty to protect individual liberty to anyone except yourself. Your dreams are unique to you.
Stay strong for your family…
Stay strong for your community….
Stay strong for our nation… We need each other.
Stay strong and filled with purposeful prayer for President Trump….
And, when called to take direct action, drop the fucking plow!
Steadfast,
~ Sundance
It’s probably not nice to tease the DeepState and its SwampRats, but . . .
I have felt for a very long time, that something big was coming. Something I could not rightly discern, but I knew in my soul somewhere that what I was witnessing was divine in nature and have always felt safe in the Lord. He said do not be anxious…..when that wells up in me, I pray. Then I pray again. Then again, until this anxiousness leaves me and the light shines again for me. Fear not, for God will be victorious and remember…….alll vengeance is his. Pray fellow sojourners that we may endure what will come to be able to stand before the son of man. Blessings and peace to all. May gods love continue to surround you and keep your heart at peace. I Jesus name I pray for all of you. Amen.
“The mechanisms of the worst elements of a corrupt and corroded global government, and every rotten and weaponized institution within it…’
It’s all about debt and money.
That’s how the people were coerced to accept the toxic genetic manipulation shots (bioweapon) in violation of law and medical ethics, ineffective for curbing a virus as hazardous as flu that was manageable in other ways: Fear of losing the job making payments on the debts.
Ditto the decades of US military campaigns, now including Ukraine: The MIC now weaves through so much of the economy that most depend on it for income, effectively buying their silence. Its like a cancer that cannot be excised without killing the patient.
Money and debt: Why Congress is unable or unwilling to stop the multiple projects working together to bring the US low, including the biowarfare, energy strangulation, fiat debt, inflation, DEI Marxist destruction of the meritocracy, Ukraine, etc.: Fear of losing the money of the Congressional position, including the bribery by various names.
So we can protest, write our legislators, become active in local politics, etc., but the money controls all, and the federal govt controls all – including the states – with money.
“Yet, (Trump) remains standing – empowered by something larger and more unexplainable than any force we comprehend.”
Yes. There are many things now that are seemingly empowered by larger “unexplainable” forces.
Not sure about the forces behind anything any more, including “freedom cities”:
https://truthsocial.com/users/realDonaldTrump/statuses/109960680734613154
All moving toward a new world order, “global governance”, as the media shower continues, and we are encouraged with hopium.
No. Not everyone. Seizure medication without health insurance would be $5,000 a month.
I add my Prayer’s daily for DJT and his mission to succeed, that the Lord, God will lead him, direct him and most of all protect him and his family from the evil we have created in our country. And I have no hesitation to express those sentiments to others.
Beautifully stated, Sundance! Treepers, please share with fellow travelers.
Our Faith, prayers and fasting are the only things to overcome this evil. Yes, evil, because that is exactly what we are up against. Call it by its name!
God, continue to bless President Trump; keep him steadfast in his resolve.
This quote is from the stopbullying.gov site:
This whole administration seems to be a case of do as I say, not as I do.
“Do not let them win the battle for your peace of mind.”
The peace of God passes all understanding.
Don’t let the powers of this world both spiritual and temporal steal your peach.
As the British said in WWII – KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON
Stay frosty!
Every American should be outraged at the actions of our government against PDJT.
hell yes
THANK YOU SUNDANCE.
Much needed.
Time to turn our back to Blue America and completely disengage from them and their idiology. They want us dead, broke, starving, arrested, litigated, framed, prisoned on made up charges. There are no negociations with these terrorists. Time to start our own schools, collectives to take care of our own. Get rid of the NeoCons, RINOs, lobbyists, back room dealmakers, crooked overseers, police, cities.
They resisted, organized massive violent protestests, pussy hats, pfff, threatening to blow up the white house, wanting more protests in the streets, assults, kneeling to wokeness and false narratives, many killings. Let them eat their own. Time for strikes, debanking, commerce to anything blue, disengage from Hollywood, pro sports, tourism in blue cities, any woke company. Build networks to help eachother. Counter Lawfare. Take back our towns, communities, cities, states and White House.
Isa.54 ” no weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper,and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgement thou shall condemn ”
We know they are building things to come after us, but that’s where it stops, according to the Word. Our steadfast faith stops it. I claim that promise everyday in all things.
With a Thousand arrows in his back Trump Shields the world form the absence of goodness within the hearts of men and women who seek power and are corrupted by it. Pray, support, stand.
Sundance thanks for the inspiring words.. truly DJT is not an ordinary man but must be filled with grace from the Infinite to be able to withstand all that has happened. I have hope he will prevail and turn this country/world on a better path
IMHO, think Gandhi. Think MLK. Think Atlas Shrugged. Strike.
Look what Peter Thiel did with one tweet.
Can you share the tweet??
He crashed SVC with a tweet saying it’s time to withdraw your funds.
His intention, to me, remains unknown.
Especially since he himself didn’t withdraw his funds … and looks to lose a lot, barring the taxpayer bailout that’s not called a taxpayer bailout.
the commenter has been trained to heel by the DC show on January 6.
they forget that this was in DC where they control the narrative, prosecution, and the jury.
if you protest in Red states and get your RED STATES BACK – its over.
1 Red State fully America First – would heel the Fed within a year,
Exactly why Kari Lake had her massive win stolen.
Gandhi assassinated.
MLK assassinated.
Atlas Shrugged expatriated.
These fascist one worlders won’t care about your stinking nonviolence.
Trump calls for protests, repeatedly, in all caps.
And you call them “traps”.
Suspicious cat time.
There are many ways to protest that aren’t stupid wastes of time that get people hurt.
What he said “protest”
Mean to protest the corrupt regime and resist. Not to protest what they’re planning on doing to him
thats what your believe – cause it comforts your fears.
what i believe comforts my fears.
—-
if he meant what you said – he could have called on the people in the governments to resist. liek red state Governors and Legislators etc..
that would be a protest without your neck on the line.
The left attacks us by taking us out…ONE AT A TIME. They didn’t arrest the Jan 6 people on the day, they knew they would be overwhelmed and would lose. Nope…they waited and rounded up those they targeted ONE AT A TIME. That is how they work, it is how the KGB works, it is how subversive govt thugs work.
We will not win playing within the rules for the simple fact that our enemy is not playing within the rules.
We cannot go against the govt all at once. The govt is people. We must go at them like they do us…ONE AT A TIME. Those that think they are protected from us and safe from answering for their evil deeds are not guarded 24/7. Remember maxine waters when she told her followers to search us out and get in our faces. She stated to do this when we were most vulnerable. Not in a crowd of our own, but individually (such as doxxing home addresses) or in small groups, where they were the majority…as in numbers makes might.
Well, we need to do the same. Pull the tics off the dog one at a time. They are not guarded all the time. They are not always in their office. They can be found alone, walking their dogs, shopping, getting gas, places where they are outnumbered and not as safe as they think. They think they are untouchable. We need to show them that they are NOT. They do not fear us. How does the saying go? When the govt fears the people, we have freedom, when the people fear the govt, we have tyranny. They need to fear us again. They need to be reminded that they work for us. We are NOT their subjects…we are CITIZENS of the USA. We have rights given by god…not by them.
There needs to be a downside to their actions. They need to know without any doubt, that their on consequences for attacking us. Only then will they stop and think about what they are attempting to do. Maybe if there was a downside, a reminder, that they will not run roughshod over us…they would not act.
They are not always guarded. They can be gotten to. A message needs to be sent. Epstein didn’t hang himself, but he was alone and vulnerable. Sometimes, our enemies may find themselves in that same vulnerable situation…it would be a shame if they didn’t fall under the same circumstances from time to time.
Anyone else smell a leftist Protest Trap setup? The Left is hate. Revenge is its pastime. Genocide is its legacy.
No. I see a leader announcing what needs to be done.
“Protest” can be done in many ways. I hope that no one goes into NYC. Cab drivers, bus drivers, truck drivers, and limo drivers should just stay home. Do not go into NYC for shopping, tourism, shows, and restaurants.
If you do not go to NYC then starve your nearest Blue City. If we can deny them our labor, services, and money then they will feel real pain.
Speaker KMac needs to pull the funding of NYC and NY State. There are a lot of things that we can do to protest without getting caught in a FIB trap.
I agree with not going into NYC if you don’t already live there.
There are already plenty of native New Yorkers there to stand up.
Including hopefully, what’s left of the decent elements of the NYPD.
florida – to the florida governor to help a fellow Republican that is not guilty and being persecuted
START the extreme federalism conversation of what the Fl Governor could do to the Fed in retalliation.
Oh please already. There are many ways you can protest without going to NY.
Try fasting. Join me on fasting and praying . Last meal? Supper on Monday. Plan on
fasting and praying from then until Tuesday. Probably eat again around midnight.
Have only done it one time before. Should be doing it on a regular basis.
The last time I had the motivation/ discipline to do so?
Election day, 2016. SOMETHING was working then. I like to think that it
was answered prayer. God and I have had an off again/ on again relationship.
Consequently, I feel like a bit of an errant child. Often. He always seems to be
welcoming when I take the time to realize he’s there. And, waiting to be asked.
I will definitely join you!
Thanks. Pass it on. I will be posting the next two days. Hope to
hear of a good head count. Don’t be discouraged if the count looks
absurdly low.
Five people might be the five that the Lord chooses to listen to.
Reminds me. I have to thank him for having my older sister decide
to take my parents to the hospital the other day. Generally, it’s their
caretaker, but she went along to help out.
Good timing/ choice. She passed out, had a code blue called, and had
NO heart rate for 4 seconds. Occurred in the waiting room, so the response
was instantaneous. She’s now sporting a new pacemaker.
And, I can still claim that I have a big sister. The Lord has been
good to my family this week. I’m blessed in many ways.
May God continue to bless you and yours.
Just a note on the actual facts of the case (as they have been presented to me):
This is a conjuring of legal casuistry and simply a statutory impossibility in a rational world.
The world mocks us. But remember, we are no longer tethered to our founding documents. Our past is quickly fading from the night lamps on the stern of our repurposed ship of state.
A civil lawsuit about 1-3 was dismissed and the woman who sued him was ordered to pay Trump’s legal bills…$300,000.
Methinks 1-4 aren’t as clear cut as you make them out to be.
and she admitted she didn’t sleep with him
none of this matters.
this is the uniparty conspiring using any tool thhey have nationwide.
The plan was: The RNC will pull PDJT from the party or the nominee list, at the latest moment so he can’t regroup on the ballot. and Ron DeSantis stand in to carry PDJT’s torch and lead us off the cliff in a loss.
now: exposing Ron kinda made this all to messy. but the Uniparty generally gets orders and follows, and never adjusts to the ground changing.
> Stormy Daniel’s text messages revealed her admitting she HAD NOT ever had sex with Pres Trump. (Assume the texts came out during prior litigation between the Pres and Stormy –she lost).
The media will only report what Stormy said on TV, and her texts denying any affair. Nor would the media cover Pres Trump’s denial except to scoff at it.

>>Steve Miller says Bragg’s case is legally upside down. The courts have already weighed in on this with Sarah Palin where she paid privately for outfits used during her campaign. The courts agreed Palin was right to use her private funds.
and won’t report on her texts
because the indictment is to get him off the ticket.
helps the RNC have plausible deniability.
the case being thrown out after is just Stevenson of Alaska in the wind.
Avenatti tweeted today, he’s still allowed to tweet apparently, that there were emails and texts presumably to and from Cohen and Daniels which would completely destroy the case and that they had not been publically released yet.
Plus, the corrupt POS DA is said to be changing the charges from a misdemeanor to a felony.
I wonder who told him to do this?
It’w worth pointing out that Avenatti, apparently under house arrest these days, didn’t stay in jail long did he, tweeted out that Daniels and Cohen are massive liars and that if a case relies on them there is no case and he still hates Trump. he also said there were further emails and texts which would completely destroy the prosecution case if they went ahead. These items have not been released in public yet, presumably filed in previous cases against Avenatti. So assuming he’s telling the truth, possibly a big “if”, it sounds like he’s warning Bragg and co off from pursuing the case.
PSA:
Watch for RINO droppings on this thread.

“However, we must deal with it in a way that does not destroy the founding principles of our constitutional republic. ”
Correct, and a peaceful solution is best. However, let us not forget how our country was founded and what was required.
More than ever it is time to hold our republican federal reps “FEET TO THE FIRE”! Calling them continuously at their local offices and Washington DC office! They need to hear our voices to unite and stand up against this evil of corruption! We need to get them to stand united as one voice for America and the constitution! Emails and letters are too slow and just result in canned responses of “thank you for your concern”! Also, for those democrats who will be up for re-election in 2024 …..they need to be forewarned! Get involved in your local politics; run for office and run for school board!
I’m calling tomorrow and demanding Jim Jordan investigates the DA for interfering in an election, and in addition to the federal funds review Mccarthy mentioned. So far I am disappointed in
Jim Jordan and I plan to start calling his office often.
No matter what happens now, Trump is being talked about in the news again and the Republicans have no choice but to rally around him if they ever want to win another election. If they don’t, it will only push more people away from their party.
With rigged elections, they really don’t care about their base.
In fact, they hate their base, and only use them for donation grifting operations.
And the base now knows it.
When the Trump era ends, so does the Republican Party.
therein lies the solution
starve them financially
don’t donate to anyone who isn’t MAGA
find out who funds the traitor rinos and
do not purchase their products or services
and btw, that includes Tucker
deal breaker?
I like the idea of creating a parallel media and a parallel economy, which is already gaining traction. Don’t support any of the businesses that are funding the destruction of the US. It would also be nice to find out which banks do not fund wokeness,ESG causes,corrupt political machines, etc and only do business with them. Would appreciate any suggestions on the latter.
Agreed, but also suggest using publicsq.com as much as possible because as it grows more and more businesses will become aware of it and join. Another thing to do is when you can use mystore.com, which is Mike Lindell’s new site to compete with amazon.
Publicsq.com. The site will grow if we use it and at some point become an important tool in the war.
“it will only push more people away from their party”
Those who control our “government”, the media and the elections see it more like pushing air around inside a balloon.
The donkey elephant game has always worked – until Trump.
They now are betting that their illusion holds long enough to put FedNow and a ConCon in place this year. Both efforts have long been underway a state level.

Well, no matter how they see it, I’m not voting for anybody but Trump and Trump endorsed candidates….period. I will stay home before I will vote for Ron DeSantis in 2024. I find it hard to believe that the Republicans don’t care about losing such a huge chunk of their voter base. And, if they really don’t care, America is finished as a free country anyway, isn’t it?
If you can opt out of FedNow, do so. There is no upside to any of us from such an account. There is plenty of risk.
jan. 6 scared the living shit out of the sheeple . just like they planed it. its now,or never this is the hill America dies on if you sit idly by. your choice
not in DC.
not in DC
not in DC.
the end. the rest are wins.
I agree, Chet … we’ve been sitting idly by for far too long. We’re circling the drain now, with precious little time left until Venezuela-type shortages and worthless money … We just need to organize, and stand firm, somewhere. There are tens of millions of us …
Yes Jan 6 scared peeps. Nope this is not the hill to die on. Nationalization of the banks IS. America will survive the onslaught. We, on the other hand, may not. Thus, we MUST be WISE, we WILL know WHEN, WHERE, WHAT and HOW without anyone telling us. The hour is late, the time is soon. Now, is the time to find salt to throw into the gears as much as you are able. Now, is the time to shore up your resources, to prepare. This fight will not be over quickly. US forces have NEVER succeeded against guerillas. They refuse to leave us alone. They have chosen the fight, WE chose the time.
And when is that Lolly? After the next election, when they are even stronger and we are weaker? Or perhaps we should do it before the next election is set in concrete … when there is still time to modify the election system to something everyone can trust? That’s the only way I see to avoid open revolt or slavery.
Those we are fighting have already demonstrated they don’t care about the rule of law or judicial rulings or Congressional votes or the Constitution or public opinion or the true vote. That being the case, how do we fight them? By doing what we’ve been doing … which hasn’t worked for years?
I don’t think we wait till it’s too late to resolve this in a manner that 80% of America could live with … in a manner that avoids civil war. What reasonable person could be against enacting a voting system that makes cheating impossible? One that gives everyone the opportunity to vote on a given day? One that will be impossible to rig electronically? One that doesn’t allow letting someone else vote for a person?
THAT is what we must demand and soon … and not stand down until it’s enacted. Because if we don’t get that, then this *shining city upon a hill* is gone. And what our children and grandchildren and their children will endure will be worse than anything imagined in the worst dystopian novel. So if they won’t enact then, then for all those descendants, we must take the next step and threaten the lifestyle and health of the other side. Make them understand that “unless we’re free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!”
I disagree. THIS is the hill to die on. There is little time left to protest peacefully.
If the Left has their way, you will be controlled and submissive, sooner than later.
By the time YOU decide it is time to fight, the battle will already be lost.
Winners anticipate and prepare/ battle well before the enemy can start.
Right now, Conservatives have been out maneuvered by the Left and are now trying to equalize the playing field.
Call in sick at work Tuesday. Stay home until they let him out on bail, due to the rumor they may hold him. Pull all savings out of the bank. My credit union has a $5,000 daily limit on withdrawal caused wholly by the swamp. Degrade the economy until it is at a standstill. I am willing to go down with the ship, as long as I take them with me. That is how the war will be won unless Biden wags the dog first. China attacked us with a bioweapon which is currently being ignored by their puppet Biden.
If they do arrest Trump I believe they will not let him out on bail to make his base go into riot mode. That is what they want so Biden can declare Martial Law.
I’m still not convinced that there will be an arrest, in the first place. How in the hell do you put a former POTUS and his PERMANENT SS detail in jail?
Don’t worry. They will do it. No need for SS when you gave corrupt prison guards and 24/7 cameras.
What’s the daily limit on liquidating stocks, bonds and retirement accounts? I did the economic warfare thing a decade ago so am not up on current stuff. It was easy to move five to six figures of stuff in one fell swoop back then. Converting it to cash took longer.
If the system crashes, no worries, the alternative economy is there. Peer to peer, small groups, grass roots. Similar to that used by illegals and the criminal elements of society; those systems have been around as long as society has.
Check your tax implications for withdrawing huge lump sums.
It must be nice to have that much money to move around, in the first place. The vast majority of us don’t have anything close to that.
Then attend a protest, or just protest by not buying anything on Tuesday.
And use publicsq.com. If we use it, the site will grow!
In 2008, I had it. But, it’s gone now.
When there is no more GOP, what will the RINOs do for a living? No more Kabuki theater shows to produce. Their backers will desert them like rats on a sinking ship once they no longer have any political power or influence. The 3rd Party strategy is the way to go.
If announced, Trump should announce a nationwide general strike. Everyone stays home and files an extension for their income taxes.
Hate to tell you, but filing an extension doesn’t mean don’t pay. You still have to send an estimate in. Interest will run on any balance due starting April 17.
Of course, the interest rate may be running less than the inflation rate from April to October, especially with these latest Fed moves, so there’s that I guess.
Yes, and I suggest people never plan things to owe or receive. Zero sum. Did it for decades, including while in business. It’s just numbers. It is easier when one is their own boss though.
After about 50 years of tax returns, last year was the first extension and it’ll remain that way until dead unless not filing at all. The pleasures of old age and poverty.
Already done, plus lots more. Truck hasn’t moved in over three months. I left 77 cents in my bank account.
Walking the talk, doing the suffering. I’m getting to enjoy the pain of manual labor in my old age. Gives me plenty of time to think about Communists and their appointment with God.
Good suggestion you make. However, most people care too much about money to sacrifice anything. Decades of brainwashing.
Minimal suffering here too. Drawing down my loan to the bank and my truck moves only when it’s necessary. I’m done financing the govt. They wanted “social distancing” and now they’ve got it. And actually saving money in the process. This ain’t my first “downturn”!
I am all in for a general strike. Has been proven to be an effective tool. And Trump needs to be the one to call it.
FrankieZee,
I like that thought. However, we need to have alternative economic solutions in place, as well. This would require a plan to identify business leaders willing to take the risk of being targeted by our own government. Supporting these conservative companies wont stop government from isolating and trying to destroy them thru propaganda. Take notice of banks such the one Ben Carson and John Rich are attempting to create in Oklahoma.
Publicsq.com
Fill up your freezers and your coolers this weekend so that, when the call comes, we are well equipped to have a week-long block party.
Filing amended returns will gum up the system. Extensions don’t do anything.
they dont need your money.
they print it and send you the bill.
and beyond that – they are about to flip the boardgame over, and restart the game with them distributing money

I like this idea, you would have to add, don’t pay, to it though. We need to do something that affects their bottom line. Boycott, go completely silent, and hold prayer vigils across the nation.
Go Galt.
Grow food.
Barter with neighbors.
Spit yourself out of the system as much as you can.
Most if all, pray!
Time for another Wolverine movie?
“Peace, prosperity, liberty and morals have an intimate connection.”

Be the protest. Refuse to comply with the thought police, speak your mind, pick a corner and wave a sign, talk to a neighbor or friend about politics even if it is uncomfortable, wear your MAGA gear proudly, get fit and prepared for the road ahead. Many ways to refuse to be cowed.
Leave your cell phone at home though

On what valid constitutional basis within the constraints of the 4th Amendment did a federal judge issue a warrant for the cell phone data of every single person within the vicinity of Capitol Hill on J6? 90 percent of whom are not even within spitting distance of being charged with any crime?
Madison is rolling over in his grave.
You can thank the “Patriot” Act for authorizing their spying on ordinary American citizens.
Many judges can’t spell “Constitution,” let alone abide by it.
Faraday bags are sold everywhere now.
They also protect the phone from an EMP.
Wrap your phone in Aluminum foil. Try it out at home by wraping phone and having someone call your number. Your phone should not ring if it is in foil.
BINGO.
Excellent point. Wrap it in aluminum foil several thicknesses if you must bring it with you. Only unwrap when you are in a safe place.
I wrote MAGA on a white mask that I used during the lockdowns. It worked beautifully.
We can display our MAGA hats in the windshield while driving and take them off when we park to avoid vandalism.
DeSantis is a good, if not great Governor. But I as a Floridian will not vote for him in a Presidential Primary because neither he nor the AG Ashley Moody have spoken out over the 100’s of Floridians trapped in the DC gulag due to J6.
He also just surrendered to Disney. So even his ‘woke fighting’ credentials have been rolled back when real power is involved.
Before, he was just an opportunistic RINO that needed PDJT to beat a drug addicted freak.
But now, he’s become a fully owned and operated establishment meat puppet. Karl Rove pulls his strings now.
Yes!! A “good guy” does not sit silent while the man who got him over the “Top Guv Finish Line” is being persecuted and, even worese, is a citizen of “good guy’s” state.
If RDS cannot show any tough leadership and push back at the evil deeds of the RINO/commie dem Club then we already know that he will not stand up to these demons on major issues.
“Despair is the foreboding outcome of the same evil systems that create it.”
Anne of Green Gables said to Marilla, “Don’t you ever despair?”, “No……TO DESPAIR IS TO TURN YOUR BACK ON GOD.”, said Marilla.
“No I cannot. To despair is to turn your back on God.” This is one of Anne and Marilla’s first interactions, and it’s clear that Marilla is exasperated when Anne asks if she can imagine being in the depths of despair.May 10, 2022
The Wisdom of Marilla Cuthbert: Quotes From Green Gables …
Loved those books!
“I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living.” Psalm 27:13
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness. (Rom. 1:18)
For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. (Rom. 1:21)
Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity. (Rom. 1:24)
For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator. (Rom. 1:25)
For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions. (Rom. 1:26)”
Excerpt From
Insights on Revelation
Charles R. Swindoll
Go all the way to Chapter 2 from Romans 1:18 for the whole picture of what kind of people we are dealing with. Yikes.
DO NOT go to NY. It is a trap
It is NOT a trap. Be peaceful. Stay on public ground. Do not go into buildings.
Peacefully protest while you still can.
The evil Left is doing everything possible to control you and force you into submission.
No reason to go to NY to protest. Protest locally.
We can all display our USA flags flying
So can we all assume that your OWN travel plans are in place?
If he doesn’t speak out, he should pass on 2024.
His presidential ship sailed yesterday because he did not back Trump. He is toast.
I won’t vote for him even if he does speak out. For all I know, he’s in on this and it’s all designed to make him look like the real MAGA candidate. I don’t trust him…period.
Let’s Ride!
“We can make protest from home” – really? How milquetoast can we be?
The J6 protestors are being politically persecuted for one reason only:
We did not rise to their defense. We still haven’t after the release and airing of the exculpatory videos by Tucker Carlson.
Lockdowns. Mandated experimental jabs. The debasement of our currency and the oppression of generations not even born. Billions upon billions finding a war in which we have no strategic interest. The bail out of rich bankers at the expense of the common citizen. Drag queen amateur hour for elementary school age children. The mutilation of children for common growing pains into puberty. Actual rioting and destructive criminals like BLM and Antifa walking free on the streets. People peacefully gathering outside abortion clinic being treated as criminals, while those BLM rioters go free. Our media as the propaganda arm of the “government”. The federal government colluding with said media to unconstitutionally restrict our Right to free speech and redress of grievances…
I could fill the page with example after example. We all could.
And this can all be laid out OUR FEET. Our inaction emboldens the psychopaths hell bent on control, destruction of our Liberties and stealing of all wealth.
Hope as we want, there is no political solution to tyranny. Freedom belongs to Warriors. Slavery belongs to cowards.
I weep for our children and grandchildren, who do not deserve the fate we’re handing them.
Some people will be diplomats and some people will be soldiers and some people will support, materially and spiritually, both. I see Treepers more as diplomats and supporters than soldiers, indicative of a wider proportion of society so inclined.
One can get the message out like the overpass patriots did during the convoy months. Here’s a sample, one of thousands during that time…
Absolutely true. There are many ways to protest, but people must take an action while it is still possible.
The evil psychopaths will not stop until we are totally controlled and submissive. I refuse to be that.
You will have company. Timing is important, so is venue. This is not going to be a once and done fight. Fight smart not stupid.
There is strength in numbers. Be peaceful. Stay out of buildings. No weapons or masks. Stay on public property.
yes
Communist tyranny is here
they’ve taken away the ability for conservatives to protest
while the communist Left is free to riot and destroy over BLM excuses or whatever else is their fancy this week
we’re in a pickle, for sure
I got no answers, I’m fresh out
Best comment anywhere, ever… except for lack of a small acknowledgement: Our descendants don’t YET deserve their fates. By the time public “education” works its magic they will be the most deserving of all. I’ve been watching deterioration of the American character for decades. Every succeeding generation has become increasingly evil.
For it’s a trap people. Just don’t do anything illegal. Numbers need to be known and video everything. Do not be afraid if not now when. They are trying to remove our President. We stand tall and strong and MAGA. They don’t dictate to us we dictate to them!
THIS^^^^ Crimes of J6 prisoners were mostly fabricated. Stay out of NY. Protest locally. Throw sand in the gears. Stay home from work (if you can), abstain from shopping (nobody will starve), etc.
I’m going to Mar a Lago. New York and DC are cesspool of people.
I’m going to fast Tuesday and thank Trump and his family. I would like to strike however, the majority of the self employed that count on me would suffer. The majority live one paycheck away from ruin. I must be my usual upbeat self every day and lead by example, Trump is the perfect template for those running a business….. I did laugh this morning when I saw he went to a wrestling tournament last night in Oklahoma and has been talking about his “Huge” rally in Texas next weekend.
Yes, he doesn’t let them stop him! We need to take lesson from that. Each of us needs to find the way we can fight and there are opportunities everywhere. The main thing to work on now if you haven’t yet decided is election integrity.
This is not justice, this is political retribution. This is not American, this is corrupt facism – using the authoritarian state to crush political opponents.
I stand with President Trump. My allegiance is to America, Our Flag, our Constitution, and President Trump.
This message needs to be shared with ALL social media and blogs till Trump is safely home again. Get the message out!
So appreciated! My “thumbs up” vote reply equals a thumbs down vote per CTH because once previously a non-related comment from a DIFFERENT user (my wife) at the same address and regarding the same issue was at this user “dismissed” by CTH for a pro-American comment from the same address; highly Democratic of CTH. Keep up the good work!
Joe Biden is a career politician of minimal intelligence and is reportedly worth hundreds of millions of dollars. And that doesn’t sound the least bit unreasonable. Even if he saved every penny of his government salary, he couldn’t come close to his current net worth.
Every day, Biden reminds us how damaging it is to have a wholly partisan liberal media. If the legacy networks reported on actual Democrat scandals with the sort of breathless outrage they cover Trump nonstop or even the most apparent fake Republican scandals, the Democrats wouldn’t win another election.
If Hollywood can make Superman appear faster than a speeding bullet, be more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, then Hollywood can certainly make Joe Biden—a serial liar, plagiarist, braggart, grifter, and fraud who is prone to sniffing hair, groping children, and a father who took showers with his teenage daughter, and a man who is displaying pronounced cognitive decline—the President of the United States.
Joe Biden is a corrupt politician and has been corrupt for a long time, probably three or four decades. Recently, his corruption has come to light. The establishment press tried to deny it since the imperative was to defeat Donald Trump, which trumped everything else. But no one has disputed the evidence that Biden has hauled millions in ill-gotten income from foreign interests. There is nothing subtle about this: it is how a corrupt politician gets rich.
Does any of this matter? The fact that a communist government can openly funnel millions of dollars to Joe Biden in what is blatant influence peddling, and done with the complete coverage of the US media, is an indictment of our media complex and our entire political system. The fact that this occurs and Biden’s handlers know where the loopholes are blocking him from justice is corruption, which is not okay.
It is one thing to take money from Ukraine, and something else to take money from China, our number one global enemy. The point being it is wrong to have a president who is compromised by having taken bribes from the Chinese Communists.
And possibly it is even worse than that. Do the Chinese have information about Joe or other family members, especially his out-of-control son, that they use to squeeze Joe?
Because of what we know, honest reporters must ask the question. And Biden must answer their questions truthfully.
But he doesn’t answer truthfully. He lies.
Or he doesn’t answer at all. He just shuffles off the stage.
This is what happens when anyone dares to threaten the fat paychecks of a weak generation of middle aged agnostics who are only accountable to the political party running the bloated government unions. The best case scenario is that the states employ the legal framework necessary to stop this infringement by using article 5. The worst case is that these useful idiots discover that the source of those fat paychecks is not the government printing press, but
is actually the tax revenue that dries up when businesses close because the government takes all the profits. That ends up with the lackeys joining the masses in a violent upheaval while simultaneously trying to hide their complicity in it. Take copious notes my friends because even revisionist history teaches us that voting will not stop the corruption.
The state of New York should be avoided.
Why?
Ya think?
Good luck with that.
I guess it’s hopeless in your camp.
Michael Avenatti, still posting on twitter, posted this, for what it’s worth.
There are many critical facts and pieces of evidence (texts, emails, etc.) relating to the hush money scandal that have yet to see the light of day. And they will unfortunately be very damaging to the prosecution if Trump stands trial. At this point, you simply can’t build a case on the testimony of Cohen & Daniels

I assume DJT’s lawyers have a treasure trove of stuff tucked away. waiting for “discovery” if it comes to that.
Avenatti would know, if this actually his tweet. Begs the question then regarding why he was suing Trump on behalf of Stormy Daniels. Who was paying him to bring the lawsuit.
Well it’s his account and has restricted replies to approved followers. He has just short of 616,000 followers so unless someone else has taken over his account…
He may have been stung by Stormy’s lies and lack of payment.
Very, very, very interesting.
Eyes on.
“Down she goes. ”
Hillary or Nancy?
J6 people who were charged, went into the Capital building. If you stay outside on public property and are peaceful, then you will be fine.
You can support Trump on Tuesday by withdrawing you max amount of cash out of your ATM, or by not buying anything that day.
Already withdrew cash not used for paying bills, will abstain from shopping though.

The prosecution of President Trump by the Black Marxist D.

Introduction
In the 2008 presidential election, decent, good-hearted, Americans elected a smiling, genial Black person, who promised to heal the nation’s racial wounds.
What those citizens got instead was eight years of racial violence and class war.
Obama deployed a rhetorical charade during the 2008 campaign to convince White voters that he was a new transformational candidate, not like traditional Democrat Black nationalist candidates, who exclusively promote a Black Marxist ideology.
Obama’s promise of racial harmony was simply a rhetorical ruse to obtain votes from White voters.
As explained by Noam Scheiber in his May 30, 2004, New Republic article:
“Whereas many working-class voters are wary of African American candidates, whom they think will promote Black interests at the expense of their own, [working class] they simply don’t see Obama in these terms. This allows him to appeal to White voters on traditional Democratic issues like jobs, health care, and education—just like a White candidate would.”
“There’s not a Black America and White America,” said Obama, at the 2004, Democrat Convention, “there’s the United States of America.”
The rhetorical technique used by Obama was a powerful propaganda tool to promote the ideology of new world order Marxism.
In the charade, Obama used the ethical norms of individualist behavior for the natural rights culture, and connected the civil values declared in Jefferson’s Declaration with the collectivist group identity values and experiences of Black people in America.
When White voters heard Obama’s message of racial harmony, they were relieved of their guilt of constitutional White privilege, and subsequently voted for Obama.
After Obama obtained the White vote, and was elected, he jettisoned the racial harmony charade, and embarked on an 8 year mission of transforming America into a global socialist state, using European class income equality as his model.
Throughout his tenure, Obama continually invoked the symbols of racism and slavery, in a three step political strategy, to transform America into a global socialist state.
The first part of his strategy was to create race hatred in order to attract converts who began to hate America, and who had a heightened sense of grievance about Madison’s compromises to promote slavery.
The second part of Obama’s strategy was to promise the aggrieved and downtrodden Black citizens that he and the Democrats, would remedy their grievances against the right-wing White supremacists forces that were oppressing them.
The final part of Obama’s strategy was to use tax-funded welfare payments to hook the downtrodden into a life of dependency on the socialist government.
Obama understood that once the citizens become servile, they would lose their capacity for objective, independent rational decision-making, the bedrock citizen requirement in a natural rights republic.
Obama knew that his hardest job in the conversion process was the very first part of making both Black and White lower class citizens hate America.
As he had been taught by his socialist teacher, Saul Alinsky, Obama knew that once citizens give up their rights in exchange for government welfare, the socialists would be able control the citizens for life by controlling the ideology of socialist class hatred.
Once Obama began using the weapons of racism and class to divide America, he could never stop ginning up hatred between the races.
The rhetoric of hate creates an environment of violence, and as the ideological rhetoric goes up, so does the violence caused by the leftist propaganda.
With the transformation of the Democrat Party into a global socialist party, and not the historic party that represented common citizens, Madison’s constitutional system of checks and balances between social classes is rendered inoperative, because the new Democrat Party is ideologically-based, not based upon financial faction.
The rhetoric and imagery of slavery, however, continues to be used by Democrats, because it is such a useful tool for making Black Americans hate White American.
The imagery of slavery in Madison’s constitution is inescapable. The image of slavery at the writing of the Constitution of 1787 will never end as useful tool for the Marxist Democrats.
As Obama said, in March 2008, the constitution was irrevocably flawed:
“The document they produced was eventually signed but ultimately unfinished. It was stained by this nation’s original sin of slavery, a question that divided the colonies and brought the convention to a stalemate until the founders chose to allow the slave trade to continue for at least twenty more years, and to leave any final resolution to future generations.”
In the political system created by Madison, common citizens do not have their own political party (faction) to represent their class interests, and they do not have the constitutional power to protect their natural rights from the Marxist onslaught.
And, the middle class White citizens have no constitutional authority to correct the sin of slavery embedded by Madison into his constitution, unless and until they replace Madison’s flawed document, and start over at the point of history of Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence.
The future that is in store for White citizens in America, as long as the Black Marxists are able to invoke the image of slavery, is increasing violence and death and a loss of individual freedom.
The prosecution of President Trump by the Black Marxist D. A. in New York is only a precursor of what the Black Marxists have in mind for the rest of American society.
When Obama invites Black Lives Matter to the Rose Garden, and encourages them to shoot police, it is not a 1965 act of civil rights that that he is promoting.
It is a 2016 act of terrorism.
In Obama’s last year in office, 140 police were slaughtered in America, under Obama’s approving gaze. The slaughter of police is consistent with the rhetoric of oppression used by Obama to heighten the sense of grievance by Democrat voters.
When 49 citizens are slaughtered in an Orlando bar by a muslim terrorist brought into the country under Obama, or a muslim terrorist at The Ohio State University uses his truck to run over innocent Americans, those are not ordinary, traditional Democrat-Republican partisan politics between working class Democrats and elite Republicans about the best policy approach to improve social welfare.
The beating and torture described on on FaceBook by the four Blacks in Chicago on the disabled White victim is exactly the violent outcome Obama seeks with his continual rhetoric of race hate.
Those four Black people who assaulted the White victim hate White people because Obama’s rhetoric of violence has created an environment of violence.
The four Black people who tortured the White person in Chicago are merely the foot soldiers in Obama’s socialist machine.
The foot soldiers in Obama’s Democrat Marxist party are conditioned now to perpetrate violence against White people, just like the Black Lives Matter assassins are conditioned to shoot police.
As the time pattern of violent riots and police shootings show, Obama, and the Democrats, are able to turn on and off the violence whenever Soros tells them to.
This pattern of controlled violence is a very effective tool of the Soros strategy to eradicate the American system of national sovereignty, in order to replace national sovereignty with a one-world government..
Socialism is a religion, with its own god, and its own set of logical rules. No matter when or where you meet a socialist, they all say and believe the same thing.
They are bound together in a mentally deranged belief system that socialist societ is better than individual freedom.
The bed rock religious belief of socialists is that America is an evil empire, and that they know better what is good for citizens, than the citizens themselves.
Socialists substitute this part of their ideology for the rational decision-making of citizens in a natural rights republic.
In socialism, a very small set of elites, in the socialist Democrat vanguard party, make all of the political decisions, on behalf of all citizens.
Just like in Madison’s constitution, where a very small set of ruling class elites obtained the unbalance political power to make all decisions about the welfare of common citizens.
The middle class White citizens who vote for the Democrat socialists are beyond reason or logic, and they can not engage in any conversation that is outside their religious talking points.
For socialist voters, the truth of a proposition is determined by the intensity of their allegiance to the Marxist ideology.
The way that Rush Limbaugh makes this point about socialists is to say that it is the seriousness of the allegation that must be investigated.
For example, in the Duke lacrosse rape case, it was not the facts of the case that drove the socialist frenzy, it was the seriousness of the charge that privileged Whites had raped a helpless minority.
In order to be demonstrated as “truth” the socialists had to show extreme allegiance to the proposition that the lacrosse players were guilty.
The truth of the proposition, for them, is that America is a racist nation, and fundamentally flawed. This is the truth that Obama sought in his three-step socialist transformation strategy.
The truth of te proposition of the Marxist D. A. in New York, who is arresting Trump is not the purported innocence of Trump, it is the D. A.’s Marxist religion that Trump stands in the way of the Marxist agenda.
At the same 2004 Democrat convention that Obama spoke, the Black nationalist, Al Sharpton, complained that the Republicans had General Sherman had promised the slaves that they would get “40 acres and a mule.”
The Republicans. In 1864, never made good on their promise about the mules, and for Marxists, the Republicans will never make good on their promise to Black people is because the truth of the proposition is that Republicans are fundamentally, and forever, White supremacists.
Socialists use a type of logic called cultural relativism, which suggests that all cultures are morally equal. In the deployment of this logic, America’s flawed origin makes the nation morally equivalent to every other culture.
In addition to multi-cultural relativism, the socialists use a unique form of propaganda to promote their religion called critical legal studies (CLS).
The ostensible goal of CLS is to use the courts to enforce their version of “fairness” in the distribution of incomes.
The Marxist D. A. in New York is united in the Marxist ideology with other Marxists throughout the Democrat Party.
When a Obama-appointed Federal Court of Appeals judge in Hawaii overturns the constitutional authority of the President, citing statements that Trump made in an election campaign, the socialist judge is deploying the logic of CLS.
In his last weeks of office, Obama continually invoked the legacy of racism and slavery to heighten the fear that Black Democrats would have of President Trump.
“We have, by no means overcome the legacies of slavery and Jim Crow and colonialism and racism,” he said.
As he did with using the agency of the IRS to undermine the rule of law, Obama unleashed the deep state spy apparatus to find some pretext for halting Trump’s inauguration.
The irreconcilable danger of the socialist religion is that a Marxist regime cannot be imposed on citizens without the coercive police power of the state.
In other words, in order to impose their socialist theocracy, socialists must take away the civil liberties and freedoms guaranteed to citizens in the U. S. Constitution.
Hence, the malicious arrest and prosecution of President Trump.
Under Democrat Marxism, the citizens are slaves to the all-powerful state.
Under socialism, citizens are born into a state of subjugation to an alien authority, precisely the opposite of Jefferson’s principle that all men are born equal and subject to no laws that, they themselves, do not give to themselves.
On every single principle of a natural rights republic, the socialists have an alien, subversive view of America.
The best solution to the Marxist tyranny is civil dissolution, and starting over with a new constitution.
