Senator Ted Cruz appears on Sunday morning to discuss the process of challenging the electoral college certification with Maria Bartiromo (CFR).  Senator Cruz (TX) discusses his recent decision to assemble with several GOP Senators after Senator Josh Hawley (MO) announced his intent to challenge the certification.

Within the interview Senator Cruz notes the Supreme Court has deferred any election challenge to the legislative branch; which -in his view- should have been permitted to be argued in the court.

However, setting aside political motives for a moment, the two legal and legislative issues discussed within the conversation (Guarantee Clause and Electoral Count Act) highlight a constitutional framework that does sit outside the judicial branch for resolution.

The main question is… does the legislative branch still have enough strength within the institution to follow the constitutional process?  THAT is the element where the unknowns exist.

On one-hand we see a corrupted DC body, infecting all institutional processes – across all branches of government, that has allowed severe corruption to take hold.  On the other hand, thanks to the foresight of our founding fathers, the process for rectifying that corruption still exists.

Republican Senators Mitt Romney (see here) Utah, Lisa Murkowski (see here) Alaska, and Pat Toomey (see here) Pennsylvania, have officially pledged their support for fraud in the 2020 election.

Each of the senators essentially affirms their justification of fraud by saying the constitution outlines a process to accept fraud that must not be challenged.

Moments ago President Trump and Dan Scavino confirmed the specific location in DC with a video from TrumpMarch.Com  – The January 6th rally in Washington DC is shaping up to be the largest ever assembly in Washington DC history.  Millions are inbound.  From what can be ascertained from social media and grassroots communication to CTH, the scale is growing exponentially now; and with it some warnings and insider tips.

Here is the video shared by President Trump and Dan Scavino:

The video confirms what we anticipated before.  The primary venue for assembly and speaker content will be focused on The Ellipse, a 52-acre park south of the White House fence and north of Constitution Avenue and the National Mall; however the recommendation is now to arrive before 9am on the date of the event.

Mayor Ted Wheeler has allowed wholesale anarchy to run amok in the streets of Portland, Oregon, while using the attempts by President Trump to stop the violence as an excuse to call Trump an authoritarian dictator.

However, with the possibility of a change in administration it is no longer in the interests of the totalitarian state for random acts of violence to be associated with the severe-leftist cause.  As a result, Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler now says Antifa violence cannot be tolerated any longer.  WATCH:

As Mamet said: “in order for the far-left to advance their ideology they must pretend not to know things”… As soon as their ability to deflect the pretense ends, they shift strategies and then deny they ever supported them in the first place.

All of that said, we know the real reason why Portland is changing direction.

Comrade rebels, a disturbing report from our northern neighbors shows the scale of descent into an authoritarian state.  The Canadian Police raided a home with an unauthorized gathering of six, yes SIX, rebellious citizens who dared to peacefully assemble without permission from the state. A good citizen snitched on the group.

Video shows the police dragging the non-compliant proles from their private dwelling after repeated warnings to disperse the unlawful gathering containing wrong-think expressed against the interests of the state COVID compliance authority.  WATCH:

(Media Report) […] Called to explain, the Gatineau Police Service (SPVG) admitted to intervening Thursday evening, around 11:10 p.m., in a residence on rue Le Baron, after a citizen’s complaint.

“The recommended approach was preventive. The agents asked for their collaboration to put an end to the gathering, but they were rejected, ”commented Lieutenant Éric Simard.

U.S. Senator Ted Cruz has one of those rare opportunities to redeem his entire political career by supporting President Trump on January 6, 2021.  This is a rare second-chance; let us hope Ted Cruz has the grace, humility and strength to see it.

In 2016, during the RNC convention to nominate Donald Trump, a bitter and divisive Ted Cruz self-immolated on a national stage.

The collapse was so catastrophic when Cruz attempted to return to the convention donor suite in the Cleveland auditorium he was kicked out by Cruz’s main financial backers, Robert and Rebekah Mercer.  Senator Cruz never recovered.

Two years later, having lost the base of support from a MAGA community that did not forget, Senator Ted Cruz was on his back facing a Senate challenge from democrat Beto O’Rourke and he needed President Trump to rally in Texas on his behalf. Trump came to Texas in 2018 and lifted Cruz to a narrow victory.

Two years later, with the electoral challenge now established for January 6, Ted Cruz has the rare opportunity, a second-chance, to elevate himself back to a political position of influence… While we await the outcome, here is the 2016 reminder.
