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, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Judge Delivers Ruling in Fulton County, Georgia, Ballot Audit

One step forward; however, in the longer term I fear this is two steps back…  The next lawfare chess move looks transparent, but maybe I’m wrong.

In the Atlanta ballot lawsuit Henry County Superior Court Chief Judge Brian Amero has granted the ability of Fulton county, the county elections board, and county courts clerk, as offices, to be removed as defendants in the lawsuit filed by Garland Favorito and nine plaintiffs. However, Judge Amero kept the lawsuit alive by granting the plaintiffs’ request to add individual members of the county board of elections as respondents.

The problem this presents is transparent. The next move by Lawfare lawyers representing opposition to the case will be for each of the individual members to now claim sovereign immunity as none of their specifically individual actions will be identified as contributing to any ballot fraud. This level of legal confidence seems present in the defense statements after the ruling was released:

“Don Samuel, an attorney for the Fulton elections board, said he planned to file motions to dismiss the claims against the board members because there are no allegations they had a role in counting the county’s ballots.” (link)

Favorito released a statement showing confidence in the result.  However, CTH is not so sure.

As Expected Political Pelosi Announces January 6th Select Committee to Support Mid-Term Election Roadmap

The January 6th House Select Committee investigation is to MAGA voters what the Mueller Investigation was to President Trump.  A tool to attack political opposition and frame a narrative for the 2022 mid-term election.  Nothing more.    [Video at 04:45 Prompted]

January 6th Select Committee will be entirely run by democrats and their Lawfare operatives within staff. The purpose of that committee will carry the same intents as the Mueller investigation in 2017 through 2019: to frame a narrative against their political opposition. The difference this time will be that President Trump is not the sole target; the Pelosi January 6th committee will be using Alinsky methods to target Trump voters.

Because the larger mid-term election operation requires it, the House Select Committee was a foregone conclusion.  The only question was how many DeceptiCons would join with Pelosi to execute it.  If Republicans are smart, not likely, the entire GOP House caucus should boycott the insufferable pantomime, leave the stage, let the Democrats do their silly show…. and use Alinsky moves against the Left by ridiculing and marginalizing their performances in real time.

Alas, the GOP are an insufferably annoying and predictable bunch of purposeful idiots, and -as a result- they will likely end up participating because they will say they need to counter the Leftist narrative or something… and the only way they can do that is by providing the democrats with legitimacy. This is how DeceptiCons roll.

Champlain Towers Collapse, Surfside Florida – Unknown Number of Fatalities, 99 People Missing

Reunification Hotline 305-614-1819

Champlain Towers is a 12 story condominium building located in the small, beachside town of Surfside, Florida, about six miles north of Miami Beach. Miami-Dade County police said 53 residents have been identified and located safely; however, as many as 99 people are reported missing. There were about 55 units in the tower that collapsed.

The collapse happened at approximately 1:30am this morning.

The building is 40-years old and is located in an area very familiar to CTH. This is an affluent community with many Jewish residents.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the missing and their families. CCTV from a neighboring complex shows the center of the tower gave way first, with the rest of the structure collapsing into a pile of rubble. The cause of the collapse is unknown.

.

Surfside Commissioner Eliana Salzhauer said “the building was undergoing a required 40-year recertification to ensure its structural integrity, and that the building’s roof was being redone. She added that residents told her a building inspector had visited Champlain Towers on Wednesday, but she did not know what the inspector found. It is unknown if any construction activity contributed to the disaster.” (Miami Herald Article Link)

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis arrived on scene this afternoon and gave a press conference:

June 24th – 2021 Presidential Politics – Resistance Day 156

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.”

~ Mike Vanderboegh

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Years of Watching General Mark Milley Finally Make Sense – The Chairman of The Joint Chiefs is a Political Operative

A statement made by Joint Chiefs Chairman General Mark Milley defending the teaching Critical Race Theory to West Point cadets has gained some attention.  However, the comments Milley made today actually reconcile several years of CTH watching Milley operate and having puzzling questions.

Remember, General Milley did some really odd things as Joint Chiefs Chairman under President Trump:

(1) Milley never removed Lt. Col Alexander Vindman from his White House post after the underling compromised his leadership position.  The pentagon left Vindman on assignment to the NSC even after Vindman attempted to take-down President Trump.

(2) Milley was then slow to react to Navy Secretary Richard Spencer threatening President Trump; attempting to extort him into inaction over the disciplinary plans against the SEAL commando, Chief Petty Officer Edward Gallagher.  And perhaps worst of all…

(3) Joint Chief Chairman Milley, SoS Mike Pompeo traveled to Mar-a-Lago in December 2019, where they informed President Trump of military strikes in Syria and Iraq *after* they took place. [Background Here] [Background Here].  President Trump made Esper, Milley and Pompeo hold a press conference without Trump supporting them; then President Trump remained silent on the issue for days.

It seemed like CTH was alone noticing the issues with the Pentagon and suspicions of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Defense Secretary Mark Esper and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley.  However, a few days after the Mar-a-Lago incident Col Douglas Macgregor expressed his own suspicions about the U.S. military attack in Iraq and Syria that paralleled our gut reaction. Macgregor stated he believed President Trump was being intentionally and “skillfully, misinformed”.

Jibberish Joe Announces Crime Prevention Program for Chicago Inner-City Violence by Eliminating Gang Access to F-15 Fighter Jets and Nuclear Weapons

If we can get the F-15’s and nuclear weapons out of the hands of the Chicago, New York and Los Angeles gangs we might be able to begin stopping the massive increases in violent crimes in those regions.  So says the logic of Jibberish Joe, the most powerful man in what’s left of his own mind.

Apparently someone, probably a new staffer at the White House, woke up Jibberin’ Joe in the middle of his nap and walked him to a podium telling him to start talking about reducing crime.   Much to the amazement of the enlisted audience, Ol’ Joe immediately started talking about gun ownership and how law abiding gun owners do not need 100 round magazines to fight against the anti-establishment ruminant clan (aka rogue battalions nationalist deer) who wear kevlar armor and hide amid the sage brush and trees of liberty.

https://youtu.be/4bF-Yfaf9fs

.

Prior to the newly announced strategy to lower violent crime, the administration of Jibberish Joe announced they would empty jails for low-level criminal offenders, release federal prison inmates to protect them from COVID-19, stop the capture of illegal alien criminals, defund and redirect funds for law enforcement and drop the prosecution of drug crimes.

Apparently the White House and pearl-clutching media cannot draw a parallel between undermining/defunding law enforcement and massive increases in crime throughout the country.   Instead, the administration will address the increases in carjackings, rapes, beatings, robberies, arson and homicide by making it more difficult for Americans to purchase firearms.

However, on a positive note, Jibberish Joe is the first President in U.S. history to promise to make it harder for Chicago gang members to purchase nuclear weapons.  So there’s that.  He might not have lost all his marbles, but there is a big hole in the bag.

John McAfee Found Dead in Spanish Jail While Awaiting Extradition to the U.S. on Sketchy Securities Charges

They are saying it was suicide; however, John McAfee didn’t kill himself…. no way.  For years McAfee was a romantic outlaw, rough around the edges and a little weird at times, but he also consistently said various elements of the U.S. government were out to get him.

McAfee even put a tattoo on his arm saying he would not kill himself.  That is how certain he was that someone, some entity, would eventually want to shut him down.

McAfee was under securities charges for making money by recommending investments without disclosing his relationship to the investment.  The charges were always a little weird, and the claims of tax evasion never amounted to enough to warrant the severity of the effort to capture him, but the U.S. was adamant about getting him extradited.  Nothing about this sniffs right.  Nothing.

(Via ABC) – John McAfee, founder of McAfee Antivirus, was found dead in his cell in a Spanish jail, his lawyer confirmed to ABC News. The Spanish Interior Ministry also confirmed the death.

McAfee, 75, who was a household name in computer security software, faced securities fraud charges and extradition to the U.S. at the time of his death. Between November 2017 and February 2018, McAfee leveraged his fame as a computer programmer to make more than $23 million by recommending a number of “initial coin offerings” to his Twitter followers, federal prosecutors said.
