But hey, I’ve got some good news – there’s not a mean tweet to be seen.

Donald Trump has been reduced to releasing written statements that get users banned if they share them, and isn’t that truly enough to get us through these tough times? I mean, sure, your savings are evaporating due to inflation, you can’t afford to gas your car up, your grocery bill has exploded, and the Middle East is on fire again, but the decorum we are currently experiencing is just invigorating, right?

All of this was preventable, but shallow, cocktail circuit dwellers in the beltway thought it better to promote a “return to normalcy” that has been anything but. Joe Biden’s administration isn’t even six months old and it’s already an abject disaster. Actually, we’d be lucky to just end up with Jimmy Carter’s second term at this point. //

"A three-legged dog could have been elected president in 2020 and done a better job with the economy than Biden"

I'm still waiting for the media to wake up to the reality of our current situation. The Barrack Obama via Susan Rice / Biden administration isn't doing a "bad job." They are skillfully executing a plan to destroy the republic.

• Demoralize the military - purge the patriots.
• Demoralize the CIA - hire based on wokeness not actual qualification and patriots retire in frustration.
• Turn the FBI into a political prosecution machine when they're not being used as wheelmen for white collar crimes.
• Open the border and invite the entire world into our social safety net.
• Pay people to stay away from work until small businesses collapse.
• Spend the country into oblivion... Cloward - Piven.

Does anyone see how intentional this is? This is not a failing or bungling administration and until we stop ascribing their performance to idiocy we're not addressing what is actually happening before our eyes.

Let’s listen to Deputy National Security Advisor for Cyber and Emerging Technology Anne Neuberger explain that whether or not Colonial Pipeline pays ransom to these attackers is a “private sector decision” when a reporter asks what they are going to do about it and what’s the timeline for this problem being addressed. //

Now, there are a lot of things to consider in such an attack, but when it’s a pipeline that is so critical to our infrastructure you don’t just fluff it off as if it really doesn’t matter, as though we don’t really give a darn or the impact isn’t significant to the country. They didn’t give the company any input or express an opinion? This is a national security issue and a serious federal crime. If you encourage the payment of ransom, you encourage similar attacks.

If you want to see how bad Biden’s border crisis has gotten then look no further than the story of a Texas farmer in Quemando on the Rio Grande River that came across a heartbreaking scene while looking over his land.

According to Fox News, the farmer found “baby girls” alone and crying on the border, completely abandoned by adults. One was too young to walk and was crawling naked in the dirt. Texas Rep. Tony Gonzales spoke with the farmer and relayed the event on social media. //

The oldest was seven years old, the youngest was 11 months. Luckily, the girls were no worse for the wear and did not require medical attention. //

Gonzales interviewed the farmer who described the heartbreaking scene. According to the farmer, it was 107 when he found the girls. When he took them in he called a neighboring farmer and his wife to bring supplies to help the little girls and had to find a CBP agent that they knew as the department is overwhelmed with cases right now. //

This is Biden’s border crisis through and through, and as much as the left was upset about “kid’s in cages” they seem to be wholly absent for the problem of abandoned children in the dirt.

Here are the questions I want answered.
-- If Democrats didn't rig and steal the election, why are they so afraid of forensic audits in key battleground states, specifically the current audit in Arizona?
-- When Trump was an 8-to-1 landslide favorite with bettors around the world late on election night and clearly headed toward a landslide electoral victory, why did five states suddenly announce they would pause counting for the night? And how come Biden was suddenly ahead by morning?
-- How come Michigan apparently had a dump of 149,772 votes at 6:31 a.m. on Nov. 4, 96% of which went to Biden?
-- How did Wisconsin count 149,520 votes for Biden from 3:26 to 3:44 a.m. on Nov. 4?
-- How come Philadelphia vote counters were so desperate to keep witnesses out of the counting room? Why did they refuse entry to witnesses (to Republicans) until those witnesses had a court order in hand?
-- Why were the windows in a vote-counting location in Detroit covered with cardboard so nobody (no Republican) could see inside?
-- There are videotapes filmed in Detroit of vans pulling up in the middle of the night with what obviously look like boxes of ballots. In Atlanta, there are videotapes that clearly show ballot containers appearing at a vote-counting location after a fake water main break was used to force all GOP witnesses out of the counting room. Why can't we discuss these videotapes?
-- How come Twitter banned me for life over mentioning these videotapes?
-- How come the Arizona Senate's liaison for the vote audit says Maricopa County hasn't complied with the subpoena by turning over passwords to Dominion voting machines?
-- How come the Biden DOJ suddenly wants to stop the Arizona audit?

These are all valid questions. Why do we get backlash for asking them and posting them on social media? What are Democrats hiding? What are they so afraid of?

In the end, that's the proof Democrats rigged and stole the 2020 presidential election. The truth is in their ridiculous, heavy-handed overreaction. They're desperate to stop you from looking into or even talking about this.

Democrats are guilty as sin.

Retired senior DoD analyst Ray Blehar has examined an underreported election story pertaining to write-in and minor party ballots/votes. His investigation has resulted in some startling conclusions and a working theory: that Biden’s margin of victory in several key states could have been provided by shifting write-in and minor party ballots through ballot adjudication.

Let us examine his statistical analysis and conclusions in more detail. First, a definition of terms:

Write-in ballots. These are ballots marked by voters who choose to vote for a candidate other than those listed on the printed ballots.

Minor party ballots. These are ballots marked for candidates of minor parties who were qualified to be on the election slate, such as the Libertarian Party, the Green Party, and the Constitution Party. Approved minor party candidates will vary by state, depending on qualification requirements.

WIMP. This is an acronym that stands for the sum of write-in and minor party ballots in a given state.

Adjudication. This is a manual process by which the “intent of the individual voter” is determined when a given ballot cannot be determined by automated tabulation devices. Adjudicated ballots are typically write-in ballots, mismarked ballots (double votes), misaligned ballots, and other categories. Note: it is also possible to program voting machines in order to recognize a “straight party” ballot as misaligned and automatically sending it to the manual adjudication process. Adjudication is really where the vote shifting happens, particularly if the election officials in a given precinct are all from one political party and/or vote shifting malware has “infected” tabulation devices. //

Blehar believes the following happened:

Conclusion #1: The total adjudication manipulation resulted in Biden winning the state by ~80,500 votes, but in reality, President Trump actually won Pennsylvania by over 186,000 votes.
Conclusion #2: Biden’s margin of victory could have only been obtained through adjudication manipulation.

Indeed. Nothing about Biden's career ever evinced success, decency or competence. Biden is a congenital liar, a racist who has contempt for any other race not white, and is absolutely corrupt. People who thought he would be anything else are fools and like being lied to.

This is not building anything back; it’s the slippery slope of an economic depression. What’s more, it’s a deliberate effort to tank the economy’s engine: small businesses and entrepreneurs. The U.S. Department of Labor Secretary actively attacking independent professionals, freelancers, and entrepreneurs is further confirmation that the Biden administration wants you dependent on government, not on your ingenuity and your ability to earn, grow, and build an enterprise. //

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ efforts to sell their green agenda and infrastructure plan are being complicated by a thorny conflict of interest for Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm — who stands to gain a windfall from stock options in a private electric vehicle company.

Last month, Biden took a virtual tour of Proterra, a company Granholm holds millions of dollars in vested stock options in and previously sat on the board of. During the tour Biden praised employees and the CEO for their work in the electric vehicle space.

Biden’s mother died in 2010, so he couldn’t be going home to see her in 2013. Angelo Negri retired as a conductor in 1993 and he died in 2014, according to his obituary. But perhaps even more problematic, Biden didn’t actually hit over 1,000,000 miles on Air Force Two until 2015 according to his official vice-presidential photographer David Lienemann. So he’s telling a story that could not have possibly happened as he claims.

“It is the one country in the world that has the military, economic, diplomatic capacity to undermine or challenge the rules-based order that we care so much about and are determined to defend. But I want to be very clear about something. And this is important. Our purpose is not to contain China, to hold it back, to keep it down. It is to uphold this rules-based order that China is posing a challenge to. Anyone who poses a challenge to that order, we’re going to stand up and— and defend it.” //

Can someone smarter than me explain how those two statements are not likely mutually exclusive? //

“I think what we— what we’ve witnessed over the last— several years is China acting more repressively at home and more aggressively abroad. That is a fact.” //

And then the question, as posed by O’Donnell: “What is China’s goal?” //

“I think that over time, China believes that it— it— it can be and should be and will be the dominant— country in the world.”

Republicans should be beating this drum day and night. They are the party of school choice, opening schools, and putting children first. Democrats are the party of selfish teachers’ unions and forcing kids into awful schools. There’s probably no bigger contrast within the political sphere, and Biden is playing right into that. The GOP should shut up about tax cuts for a while and make this a cornerstone of debate.

Tucked away in the USA Today story, they note there was a requirement in the bill Trump signed that called for a letter to go out notifying people of the payment. So that if there were any questions/concerns/mistakes, Americans would have that letter as a record to reference. So it wasn’t just an idle letter to promote Trump. There’s the same requirement in latest Act with which the Biden team has to comply, as CNN notes. But Biden’s letter wouldn’t get the same criticism. There was no criticism of Biden in the CNN story yesterday, reporting about the checks, indeed there was only criticism of Trump.

Now, first thing I’d say about the letter, I get that it’s an IRS payment, but seriously, IRS letters give people heart attacks, with people’s first thought that they’re in trouble.

But do you notice something else in there?

Here’s what Biden claims in his letter:

“A key part of the American Rescue Plan is direct payments of $1400 per person for most American households. With the Direct Payment from December, this brings the total relief payment up to $2000. This fulfills a promise I made to you, and will help get millions of Americans through this crisis.”

Oh, no, he just didn’t! He just took credit for money that passed under Trump.

Also prior to the election House Speaker Nancy Pelosi balked at the passage of a smaller bill that Republicans would have agreed to. She was then was cool with it after the election. Why? She admitted “that’s OK now because we have a new president.” So it takes some chutzpah to take credit for something that should have been passed before, under Trump.

Of 943 viewers surveyed: 54% were Democrats, 25% were Independents, and only 18% were Republicans. They also seem to have had 3% go missing, without any explanation as to what those folks were, which makes me question all their other numbers.Many then extrapolated that out to “85% of Americans” approved of the speech, which is not the same thing as 85% of CBS viewers who responded to the survey, who are heavily weighted towards Democrats. It’s not even 85% of CBS viewers. //

Additionally what was funny was they initially reached out to 10,420 U.S. adults. Only 4,211 of that 10,420 planned on watching. But it ended up that only 943 watched and responded to the survey. So, it doesn’t sound like too many people of the folks they reached out to were even interested in watching and/or responding to the survey. People are not exactly enthralled with the idea of watching Joe Biden for any length of time and commenting. //

They reached out to over 10,000 and only 942 responded. Seems to me that means only about 8.5% of Americans approve. I think they got the decimal wrong, but that isn't surprising, they do like to use common core math.

His active promotion of abortion means that he has excommunicated himself, the term is latae sententiae, from the Catholic Church according to Canon Law. The left likes to claim this is just Biden enforcing the “law of the land,” and as we have an alleged wall of separation between Church and state, Biden is just doing his job. This is just bullsh**. Since entering office, Biden has acted to expand abortion by his abandonment of the so-called Mexico City policy. This is a willing and affirmative act that knowingly increases the number of aborted babies.

Likewise, Biden’s minions have moved to attempt to overturn a court decision that held that doctors could not be forced to perform sex-change operations against their will. I don’t know why anyone would want to try to force a doctor to do such a thing…you might emerge from the process with excess parts stapled to your forehead…but you know how these people roll, right? Here is a thread with more detail.

Like with abortion, this is not merely the enforcement of something that just happens to exist and which can’t be changed by a president that also violates the Catechism of the Catholic Church and Canon Law, this is Biden aggressively acting to impose policies that did not exist upon the nation of his own volition. //

Allowing Biden to continue to receive Communion while not merely supporting abortion and transgenderism, and homosexual marriage but actively promoting them and sending out his goons to proclaim him to be a devout Catholic is wrong. It is not wrong from a political stand point, it is wrong from a pastoral point of view. Every time Joe Biden steps up to receive the Eucharist he is showing the world that some Catholic bishops believe that there are one set of rules for the mopes in the pews who pay the bills and another set for the Very Important People who send billions of tax dollars to Church causes.

As Biden finished his remarks and tried to exit the stage, he couldn’t find his mask. Now remember that he’s outdoors and just told everyone earlier this week how you didn’t have to be masked outdoors with vaccinated people. So why was he looking for it to begin with? But he still wasn’t able to keep track of it.

Then he stepped in it again, saying he would be “in trouble.”

Biden wasn’t able to find it, so someone finally come up behind him to slip him a mask, just as Biden finds it, finally, in his pocket all along. This is the guy with the nuclear codes.

So once again, as we asked earlier in the week when he said if he took a question from the press that he was “going to be in trouble,” isn’t this guy supposed to be the most powerful man in the world? With whom is he going to be “in trouble?” Who exactly is pulling his strings?

Nielsen now reports that an estimated 26.9 million people tuned in to watch President Biden’s inaugural address to a Joint Session of Congress. //

By comparison, Trump’s first address to Congress brought in 47.7 million viewers. Even his final State of the Union hit 37 million viewers. Biden trailed those totals greatly, bringing in a heavily partisan audience to boot (MSNBC was the top cable news network for ratings). //

Biden has an IQ (est. 72) half of Trump's (est. 144), so if he got half the audience Trump did, that seems pretty copacetic to me. The Ying and the Yang of the Universe remain in balance.

Why would I go talk to a hunter about the Second Amendment? That’s like talking to a hairstylist about surgical work because both fields make use of scissors. Yes, hunting is an assumed use of firearms under the Second Amendment, but it is not at all the reason for its existence. And what does magazine capacity have to do with body armor? A long-barreled rifle chambered in any normal hunting caliber that holds only five rounds is typically going to penetrate body armor better than a .223 Remington round from an AR-15. Biden is just spewing anti-gun ideas that aren’t even congruent. //

The Second Amendment was created so that ordinary citizens could keep and bear arms, thereby being able to organize into militias to fight threats, foreign or domestic. Hunting wasn’t even on the radar (though, it was assumed because it was such a normal part of life), and bringing it up shows a profound ignorance of the topic at hand.

As to why someone needs a 100-round magazine, the answer is simple: Because they want one. Any more questions? //

The root problem, of course, is that the Democrats consider the Bill of Rights to be a set of (limited) rights granted to the people by a benevolent government.

Nonsense is what that is.

The founders knew no government is benevolent, and wrote the Bill of Rights as a set of limits imposed on the government to prevent it encroaching on these natural rights which flow from our Creator.
