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…

Amen !
Amen!

Battered Conservatives No More – By Sundance
1. We admit we were unaware of our Republican abusers – Our elections have become manipulated.
2. We accept that only a power greater than ourselves can restore our republic.
3. We make a decision to focus our effort and our life to the care of a loving God.
4. We have made a searching and fearless inventory of our prior beliefs.
5. We have admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human, being flawed in our political belief.
6. We are entirely ready to have God free us from defects of character, break our victim mindset and strengthen our resolve.
7. We humbly asked Him to remove our false assumptions.
8. We have made a list of all political abusers, and we commit to holding them all accountable.
9. We accept the need to confront the republican abusers, if even when doing so hurts their feelings.
10. We continued to take personal inventory and if we accept victimization again, we promptly admit it.
11. We seek through prayer and deliberation to improve our conscious contact with God, praying only for righteous knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had an emotional, intellectual and spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we pledge to carry this message to others who are abused, and to practice these principles of awakening in all our political affairs.
Bon soir, bon jour, Maquis. J’ai lu ton transcription du prieure de Sundance pour le premier fois depuis quelque mois.
Je vraiment comprends numero huit, est c’est pas facile de reconcilier avec cette passage de la Prière du Dieu:
“as we forgive those who trespass against us”
Même Jean d’Arc savait quoi faire des ennemis de Dieu.
L’avenir de l’humanité est entre nos mains.
Il faut être juste et sage.
La miséricorde au prix de l’esclavage est trop chère à payer.
Tu es juste et sage, Maquis.
To forgive is to leave our enemies in the mighty hands of God. We don’t seek revenge; we seek God’s justice, and He will apply His justice any way and at any time He sees fit.
…we are naked before our enemies…..
Ain’t looking like God has chosen sides
Yet
God doesn’t choose sides. He is just.
It’s up to us to choose to be on His side.
Our protectors have abandoned us to graft and corruption.
Who said anything about forgiving. We are in this mess because of turning the other cheek, love thy enemy.
We Scots have a saying;
Sundance has ask me not to quote our family motto, because of that spider crawl.
“Who said anything about forgiving”..
Read the thread you’re replying to (GreyRockMan’s comment)
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She stole your throne
And she cut your hair
And from your lips
She drew
Your hallehlujah
Hallehlujah
🎼 🎼 🎼
Jesus loves me…this I know…
Our Father who art in Heaven,
hallowed be Thy name,
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day, our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation
and deliver us from evil,
for Thine is the power and the glory
now and forever.
Amen.
Very thoughtful addition to Maquis’ faithful posts. Thank you.
Which prayer attends the beginning of the Open Thread every day as well.
Part of what makes CTH special in so many ways.
Maquis, I wish it were possible that we could raise a glass together face to face sometime.
Perhaps we may do so after the Republic is restored.
Is it not strange to have so many cherished friends we’ve never met?
The Big Treehouse in the Sky awaits us all, where many first meetings shall accompany our several reunions.
Salut!
Connected souls…
Good morning again, Maquis. It is a little early in the day: за здоро́вье (za zdoróvʹje)!
Santé!
YES! I’ll go first and await to greet you all.
Thank you, Fionnagh.

DC National Guard whistleblowers to say they WERE ready to be deployed on January 6 on Trump’s orders hours but were held back by the Pentagon in bombshell testimony contradicting Capitol riot committee’s story
Excerpt:
Whistleblowers from the Washington D.C. National Guard will tell Congress that Donald Trump did want them deployed during the Capitol riot and the Army delayed telling them to mobilize in a bombshell hearing next week.
DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal that at least three officers will appear Wednesday before a House subcommittee to claim their stories were also ignored by the Democrat-led January 6 committee, because it didn’t fit their narrative.

Voting for Trump
HAHAHA I love that meme.. so true! You know, it occurs to me that the ONE thing Derps (and Snowflakes) hate more than anything else is a VOTE for Trump, because our VOTE is our VOICE.
Poison death shots or no, that VOICE right there automatically flags us Americans as “non-compliant,” because a conquered people are no longer afforded the luxury of having a voice in our affairs.
(UNelected) CONgress critters have just reauthorized their *unconstitutional* powers for unreasonable search and seizure. If anything tells us what they’ve got in store for us patriots in the months ahead.. THAT should leave no doubt!
“Patriot” Act.. the gift that keeps on giving.. to the Communists. And just around the bend is their CBDC reset and social credit scoring.. a slam dunk!
People with a VOICE are in their crosshairs. If we dare to cast our VOTES for the greatest President in our lifetime, then all bets are off.
There’s NO sense in hiding under a rock anymore, lest we be *outed* by our woke neighbors and various spooks. NO sense in groveling or bowing down in submission to anybody.. No sense in obeying *unconstitutional* orders handed down by the CDC or WHO… or anybody else for that matter..
It is prophesied that CHRISTIANS will surely face persecution in these turbulent times. We can certainly add PATRIOTS to that list, as well!
So buckle up, buttercups, and let’s git er done! When it comes to living our best lives, if not now, WHEN?
Now is the time to STAND!

Shocking video shows anti-Israel student protester interrupting dinner at home of Berkeley’s Jewish dean
Shocking video footage captured the moment an anti-Israel student protester interrupted a dinner party honoring Berkeley Law School graduates to rail against the Jewish state — at the home of the Jewish dean.
What should have been a celebratory occasion for upcoming graduates quickly turned into an unsettling confrontation over the Israel-Hamas war after the student disrupted the event, hosted by Erwin Chemerinsky, the dean of Berkeley Law School, and his wife, Professor Catherine Fisk, in their backyard.
Law student Malak Afaneh can be seen in the footage, shared widely on social media, standing up and offering the traditional Islamic greeting in Arabic, which translates to “Peace and blessings upon you all,” before demanding the university divest from corporations funding Israel’s role in the war.
In a statement released by Berkeley Law, Chemerinsky said he “never imagined that something that we do to help our community would become ugly and divisive.
“The dinner, which was meant to celebrate graduating students, was obviously disrupted and disturbed. I am enormously sad that we have students who are so rude as to come into my home, in my backyard, and use this social occasion for their political agenda,” the statement continued.
The educator also revealed he had been the target of antisemitic harassment the previous week at the university, where posters of a caricature of him holding a bloody knife and fork with the words “No dinner with Zionist Chem while Gaza starves” were displayed around campus.

China-made Drones are cheaper than American-made Drones.
Putin humiliated as Ukraine sources ‘tens of thousands’ of drones from top ally China
Ukraine’s forces have managed to source “tens of thousands” of drones from China to help repel Vladimir Putin’s forces despite the close alliance between Moscow and Beijing, according to reports.
Volodymyr Zelensky’s forces have relied heavily on unmanned craft throughout the conflict, but many of them are no longer coming from the US, as they’re too expensive and haven’t fared well against Russian defenses, The Wall Street Journal reported.
“Many American commercial drones cost tens of thousands of dollars more each than a Chinese model,” the report claimed, noting that Ukraine’s forces lose around 10,000 drones per month.
Georgii Dubynskyi, the deputy minister of the agency leading Ukraine’s drone program, told the outlet that though his country’s forces want to try out more American models, they are seeking “cost-effective solutions.”
Many American-made drones have been judged to be “glitchy and hard to repair,” and failing to justify the price when less costly Chinese alternatives have been found to work effectively, according to the outlet.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/putin-humiliated-as-ukraine-sources-tens-of-thousands-of-drones-from-top-ally-china/ar-BB1lrRXk
Proof positive it is not and us vs them war. Rather is a war for profit by the super rich cabal.
In their minds, a drone is equal to a human, they are both equally expendable.
It is just a matter of which one costs less, and puts more cash in their pocket.
Please tell me that this is AI. What would make someone bold enough to threaten the lives of elected officials??

House finally passes surveillance bill after three stumbles
The House on Friday passed legislation reauthorizing a controversial government surveillance power — capping off a monthslong debate marked by acrimonious GOP infighting.
The 273-147 bipartisan vote is a win for embattled Speaker Mike Johnson, who has struggled publicly to bridge the deep divides within his conference. But it also puts him at odds with some of his biggest conservative critics, 88 of whom opposed the bill, as he faces the threat of an ouster vote.
In a bid to get his holdouts on board, Johnson shortened the reauthorization period for the program from five years to two years — which caused heartburn in some corners of the Biden administration and would put the next wiretapping fight in a potential second Trump term, if the GOP’s standard-bearer wins in November.
“We do include reforms of the FISA court process that would have overlapped with the Russian dossier and the Carter Page issue and the Trump campaign,” Intelligence Chair Mike Turner (R-Ohio) told reporters.
The legislation, negotiated by leadership, makes changes to the Section 702 power as well as the broader surveillance law it is housed under in a bid to increase transparency and oversight, including requiring a higher level of approval for “sensitive” searches, reducing the number of FBI personnel with the ability to search the foreign data and increasing penalties for misleading the surveillance court.
https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/04/12/congress/government-surveillance-702-house-gop-pass-fisa-johnson-00151946
‘….requiring a higher level of approval for “sensitive” searches,’
My apologies for the lack of details but I clearly remember a woman testifying to Congress that she was part of the chain-of-command for FISA warrant applications as they were processed ‘up-the line’ for approval prior to submission to the FISC. However, when it came to at least 1 of the Carter Page warrants, she testified the work-flow was from the top on down. In other words, she had nothing to approve, it was already done by her superiors from the 7th floor.
Also, from the waning days of the Mocah Messiah’s administration, it seemed everyone and their uncle was being approved for searches including Joe Biden. Why would the US VP be requesting searches on their way out the door? Further, name me one swamp toadie that would deny a search command from Kamala Harris?
Finally, who was the high-ranking obama era woman whose office computer was used for 100s of searches she claimed no knowledge of?
The point of my rant is that there will always be work-arounds for the swamp and the ‘legislation negotiated by leadership requiring higher level of approval for sensitive searches’ is nothing but window dressing.
Samantha Powers
“The 273-147 bipartisan vote is a win for embattled Speaker Mike Johnson”
Can someone please tell me how this is a “win”?
It is not a “win” it is a “win for embattled Speaker Mike Johnson”. In Uniparty speak, this means that he has gotten most of the republicans to follow his orders. The method of the Uniparty means that the members of each side vote how they are told to by their LEADER with a few members “going Maverick” with the permission of the LEADER and voting with whatever side they want to have “WIN” for the Uniparty.
New York ratchets up security for Trump’s trial now that he’s the presumptive GOP nominee
Trump, who is supposed to be in court and does not have the option of skipping any of the estimated six-to-eight week trial, is now the presumptive Republican nominee set to rematch President Joe Biden in November – a key difference from his attendance during a civil fraud case brought by state Attorney General Letitia James that inherently raises the stakes and will mean a more robust security package.
https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/11/politics/law-enforcement-security-new-york-hush-money-trial-trump/index.html
I’m wondering if it is True that President Trump will have to be present in the courtroom for the entire time the 6-to-8-week trial is in session????
Definetly one of those “lets see what happens” areas.
If he doesn’t show, because he is out campaigning, would the Judge REALLY issue a bench warrant for his arrest?
What happens if he announces a rally, AT the Courthouse, and 30,000-50,000 people show up, which is not at all outside the realm of possibility?
Or, spontaneously (without any announcement from him) such a crowd shows up, surrounding the Courthouse and filling the streets for several blocks/ miles in every direction?

“They have tried to solve a wide range of insoluble problems, from the weather to poverty to viruses, and now they will attempt to solve us.” —Eugyppius
The dopes running US foreign policy are so foolishly obsessed with taunting Russia (“poking the bear”), that they can’t give up their sponsorship of the war in Ukraine, which Ukraine is losing because they never had the mojo for the fight. That should have been obvious, but for some reason our “best-and-brightest” overlooked that. No amount of free weaponry and ammo can make up for the fact that Ukraine has run out of young men to pointlessly get shredded by Russian artillery. Russia is unwilling to get rolled by NATO and the US in a part of the world Russia has controlled for centuries. Yet, “Joe Biden” keeps hinting about sending America’s tranny army there, and even gearing up the military draft for the nose-ring and blue hair generation. Good luck with that.

Mike Johnson Is Fighting to Protect the Government Spy Program Used on Trump
Descent into Totalitarianism
The question is, what could be the “other agenda,” that motivates Republicans to oppose legislative checks and balances on government spying powers, utilized against American citizens?
Could it be that Republicans expect to seize power in a landslide in November, then, putting their people in charge of the surveillance apparatus, use the FISA to spy on the Democrats? In other words, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander, so we should keep our power in reserve for payback?
I can think of several Democrats, surveillance of which would be titillating or dismaying, depending upon one’s perspective. Perhaps they think FISA will never be turned on them. And they would be wrong.
The Republicans, including Mike Johnson, should know this: there is nothing conservative about unwarranted domestic surveillance as a policy. It negates the idea there is any right to privacy. It undermines the concept of limited government, as it is unlimited in where it could lead.
The logrolling in favor of domestic spying comes from a frame of reference that any idea, however bad, is better than doing nothing. That is not true, and sometimes a legislator must firmly say “no!” When government is a runaway train, the sine qua non is the word ‘no.’
Tennessee lawmakers pass bill criminalizing adults who help minors get transgender procedures
Adults who break the proposed law could face 3 to 15 years behind bars
Tennessee lawmakers in the state’s Senate on Thursday passed a bill on a 25-4 vote that would make it a felony for adults to aid minors in seeking gender transition procedures. It now heads to the GOP-led House, where it is expected to get additional Republican support.
State Sen. Janice Bowling, a Republican, sponsored SB 2782, which would penalize any “adult who recruits, harbors, or transports an unemancipated minor” in Tennessee “for the purpose of receiving a prohibited medical procedure that is for the purpose of enabling the minor to identify with, or live as, a purported identity inconsistent with the minor’s sex or treating purported discomfort or distress from a discordance between the minor’s sex and asserted identity, regardless of where the medical procedure is to be procured,” and make it classified as a felony.
Adults who break the law could face prison time of three to 15 years and fines of up to $10,000 under the Class C felony that the bill allots. The bill also “authorizes a person who violates this amendment to be held liable in a civil action for such violation.”

-Trans treatments for all, without parental consent
-Open borders: bring em in and reward them with gimmies.
-Forgive all student loans
-Umlimited support for Ukraine war with Russia
-No support for Israeli war with Hamas.
-Increase taxes massively
-Raise SS age, reduce bennies.
-Continue to throttle domestic energy production
-Spend 100’s of Billions on Rube Goldberg GND energy boondoggle projects.
So; what she is basically saying, is that women are to stupid and timid to take care and control their own lives. 🙄
And men are too selfish to care about the progeny they create with such women.
Since January 22, 1973, absolutely nothing has changed for woman? 🤔
If a man is not selfish ‘to care about the progeny they created’ then he should have a say in that progeny? 🤔
Don’t be so careless about whose seeds you fertilize. Does that make sense to you?
Laws or no laws, women who would murder babies should not be afforded that opportunity.
‘Careless’ and ‘Selfish’? So: just to clarify, women are to stupid and timid (with a lack of judgement) when it comes to the men they are with?
Biden has made key issues of inflation, illegal immigration worse: poll
WASHINGTON — Most Americans say President Biden has made the cost of living and illegal immigration — two of the major issues in this year’s general election — worse rather than better during his term of office.
According to a survey from the Associated Press and the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research published Friday, 58% say Biden’s approach to the cost of living either “hurt a little” or “hurt a lot.” By contrast, just 18% say the president had helped ease the pressure with his policies.
Another majority (56%) said the same of the president’s handling of immigration and border security, with only 16% saying Biden had helped the issue.
A Gallup survey from last month found 55% of Americans said they worry about inflation “a great deal,” with 52% saying the same about the economy and 48% saying the same of illegal immigration.
Meanwhile, 40% said Donald Trump had helped the cost of living issue while president, giving him a 22 percentage-point lead over Biden, while 46% said he had bolstered border security — a 30-point edge over his rival.
In all, consumer prices are up 19% since Biden took office in January 2021, according to federal data, while the annual inflation rate remained elevated at 3.5% as of March.

DC National Guard whistleblowers to say they WERE ready to be deployed on January 6 on Trump’s orders but were held back for hours by the Pentagon in bombshell testimony contradicting Capitol riot committee’s story
Whistleblowers from the Washington D.C. National Guard will tell Congress that Donald Trump did want them deployed during the Capitol riot and the Army delayed telling them to mobilize in a bombshell hearing next week.
DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal that at least three officers will appear Wednesday before a House subcommittee to claim their stories were also ignored by the Democrat-led January 6 committee, because it didn’t fit their narrative.
The hearing will aim to further prove that Acting Defense Secretary at the time Christopher Miller did give advance approval of D.C. National Guard deployment at the direction of then-President Donald Trump.
Instead of getting to the bottom of the breakdown in communication and focusing on improving Military preparedness for future incidents, the witnesses feel the January 6 panel was solely focused on pinning blame for the events that day on Trump.

…” Reauthorizing 702 in this current form is pathetically weak. It hasn’t been reformed. It was used by Democrats to spy on their political opponent (Donald Trump). You don’t get to say you are concerned about Washington’s overreach and weaponization of the courts if you vote for this current reauthorization. It’s better to end it than reauthorize it.
And don’t pretend like we need it to stop terrorists – the southern border is wide open and terrorists have been pouring in for years.”…..

So who is ACTUALLY paying for these student loans, Joe? Daily Mail reveals who is footing Biden’s $150 BILLION bid to ‘buy votes’ by wiping debt
The White House announced another $7.4B in student loan debt canceled Friday
4.3 million student loan borrowers have had debt canceled since President Biden took office
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13302129/joe-biden-student-loan-bid-votes-debt.html
Excerpts:
In its latest announcement on Friday the Biden administration said it had canceled another $7.4 billion for 277,000 borrowers.
‘Biden’s policies are completely backward and illegal,’ Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson responded.
‘Biden’s student loan socialism is a scam,’ wrote Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa). ‘He’s not “canceling” — he’s saddling hardworking Americans with a massive bill.’
Factoring in the debt that will be canceled moving forward, and the interest canceled while repayments were paused during the pandemic, the total amount being forgiven is closer to $600 billion.
But the White House effort is not without legal challenges.
18 Republican-led states have already sued the Biden administration over the SAVE plan.
The two separate lawsuits focused on the SAVE plan come after GOP officials were able to stop the president’s original student debt relief plan, taking it all the way to the Supreme Court which blocked the effort last June.

TRANSCRIPT: Tucker Carson on FISA
The U.S. House is expected to vote Friday on a two-year extension of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, commonly known as FISA. This transcript has been edited for length and reprinted with permission from Tucker Carlson.
A few years ago, we learned conclusively that, in fact, the FBI and the federal intel agencies—the dozen or more federal intel agencies we have, for some reason—had been working secretly against Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
Trump had whispered about this, then shouted about it, was roundly denounced as a conspiracy nut, a lunatic. But in the end, he was vindicated. It was true.
These agencies spied on Trump, and they leaked some of what they learned to the media, which used it against Trump. Then these agencies concocted false stories about Trump. They tried to crush Trump completely in 2016 and then for the entire course of his presidency. Then they did the same thing in 2020 during the presidential election.
And they’re doing it still. They’re trying to put him in prison for the rest of his life. So if we take three steps back, what you have here is what we’re seeing now.
For the third time in three consecutive cycles, secretive federal agencies are trying to rig our presidential election. This is what the Democrats refer to as democracy, and they’re trying to defend it. But of course, it’s the opposite of democracy. It’s, in fact, the end of democracy in any semblance of a constitutional republic we ever had.
If you have a secret police force threatening people, spying on them, and working secretly the levers of political power, then you don’t have a democracy. You have no control over really anything as a voter.
So if there’s one thing the Republican Party, the opposition party, should be doing in response to this, right now, it’s fighting back against this descent into totalitarianism. They should be working to return freedom and democracy to the country. They should defend the Constitution. They should rein in these agencies, Washington secret police.
But you will not be surprised to learn they’ve been busy doing just the opposite. So if you’re wondering why no one is going to prison for any of this, now that we know what actually happened, well, the reason is in part a law called FISA, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, has been around a long time.
Sen. Teddy Kennedy first proposed it, by the way, back in the mid-1970s. And that law allows the federal government to spy without a warrant on foreigners outside the borders of the country. The idea is bad people are doing bad things against us. We need to know what they are, and we can’t bother to go to a court to get a warrant every time we want to know, but it will never be used against American citizens. Well, of course, now we know it has been at scale.
That law, FISA, has made it possible. So that law is now up for reauthorization in the House of Representatives. And amazingly, the new speaker of the House, Mike Johnson of Louisiana, has spent the last couple of weeks doing all he can to get that law reauthorized.
In other words, to allow the federal agencies to continue to spy upon and punish people who disagree with them. In other words, Mike Johnson’s own party. Republicans, Trump voters. Mike Johnson has been working to do that, and that effort failed [Wednesday] because members of Congress heard from their constituents or came to their senses, saw the truth in a dream.
Whatever happened, they stopped Mike Johnson from doing that for the moment. So that’s a good thing. And you ought to be celebrating. And even if you didn’t know it was happening—and a lot of people didn’t because it got very little media coverage. But of course, this is a temporary victory. Like all bad things, like that Chlamydia you got in a hot tub in Cabo in college, it will come back.
This attempt to spy on you, an American citizen, without a warrant because you’ve been politically disobedient. Why will it come back? Because it’s what they really care about. And so, before it does come back, it’s worth just a very quick autopsy.
What just happened? What do we just see so we can learn a couple of important lessons?
The first lesson we’re going to learn is that a lot of powerful people in the Congress are liars. They lie without shame, in fact, with pride. And they do so at the behest of or because of blackmail instituted by the intel agencies. And at the head of that list would be the chairman of the House intel committee, Mike Turner of Ohio.
We’re going to play a clip from Mike Turner of Ohio saying exactly the opposite of what is true here. Is Mike Turner reassuring you that face, it would never, under the face of law, the U.S. government would never be allowed to spy on you without a war, because that’s unconstitutional. It never happened. It never will happen. And if you think otherwise, you’re probably one of those UFO-believing nutjobs who want to stop doing ayahuasca.
Here’s House intel committee, pawn of the intel agencies, Mike Turner of Ohio:
Every word of that a lie. And we don’t need to guess. And I hate to use that pronoun, but I specifically don’t need to guess, because that actually happened to me.
The [National Security Agency] broke into my text messages, read them, passed them to news organizations in order to discredit me, and then admitted that they did that. They spied on me and they did it under FISA because I was daring to text with a foreigner outside our borders.
So Mike Turner knows that, he’s the chairman of the intel committee. He knows he’s lying, but he’s doing it anyway because it’s that important to preserve that core power.
If you have the power to spy on someone and then to leak the information that you gather or manipulated and then leak it in order to control that person, that’s a major power. In fact, that’s a bigger power than any voter in this country has. And so he’s acting on their behalf when he lies to you. And so it shouldn’t surprise you that they want to keep that power.
They want to keep it so badly that over the last week, U.S. government officials did something that may not have precedent in Washington. They lobbied members of Congress directly. They, in the words they used in Washington, they whipped the bill.
Officials from the Department of Justice called, among others, [Rep.] Chip Roy of Texas to demand that he vote for FISA reauthorization.
Imagine that—DOJ, Department of Justice, the federal law enforcement agency, called Chip Roy and said, “You got to do this.” Think about that.
Is there any group in this country more powerful than the Department of Justice? They can put you in jail, and they’ve shown a willingness to do that. They could put kiddy porn on your computer. They’ve probably done that too. And everybody who serves in Congress knows that, and everybody’s afraid of them—along with the CIA and NSA and a bunch of other, three other agencies.
Members of Congress are afraid of them because they know the consequences of disobedience. And so for them to call directly a member of Congress would be like the FBI coming to your House on Election Day and demanding that you vote for their designated candidate. And then having access to the record of who you actually voted for, as they do in the Congress.
Can you imagine? You’d be highly motivated to vote for their candidate, wouldn’t you? Yes, you would. So they’re willing to do anything to get this enshrined in law, because it gives them legal cover to subvert democracy, which is their program, of course.

No charges for unregistered gun possession?
—
Police took possession of E. Jean Carroll’s unregistered gun after her testimony in Trump defamation trial
Excerpt:
During the second day of the civil trial, Carroll had told the federal court in lower Manhattan that she kept a “high standard revolver, nine chambers” at home with ammunition. “By my bed,” she said.
“I still do not have a license,” Carroll added.
John Rader, the reporting officer, said in his report that he “offered to secure the weapon at the police station’s property for safekeeping.”…..
…….Under New York state law, a person can be found guilty of criminal possession if they possess a firearm, such as a pistol, that has not been registered. The felony carries a maximum sentence of four years.

President Trump’s motorcade rolling into Atlanta, GA.
That’s a large motorcade for a “former” President. It would be the normal size for a Commander in Chief. If I see someone carrying the nuclear football nearby, then I’ll know something is up.
How are all those vehicles being transported from city to city? Is a military C-17 being used to transport all of those motorcade vehicles?
Dang those streets are smooth. Did we pay for those?
Just reading about horrific terrible Sydney Australia shopping mall attack ( stabbed mainly women – killed 5 women 1 man and injured several ) – article I read said the shot dead by policewoman “Knifeman “ not ‘formally” (?) identified, but was a 40 year old “known to police “…
Waiting for inevitable “ was an act of a mentally ill man who just happened to be Islamic and of or from xyz country and followed jihadist teachings and was known to police and while the actual motive is unknown , DO NOT BELIEVE IT WAS AN ACT OF TERRORISM “ ….Explanation
Longer it takes Police to announce the identity of the bearded Knifeman and to set the narrative , the more predictable the standard explanation will be forthcoming … let’s see how it goes ,..
Sorry , forgot to add the “and he acted alone” part to the standard narrative …
Contemptible hired mouthpieces!
When the gears of progress get jammed, sprinkle it with sand. A little disruption can be the push needed to get things moving again.
Oh, oh!
