The Democrat Party has wanted to ditch the suburban working class for some time now. Those largely unionized working shlubs still bitterly cling to religion, the unborn, guns, manufacturing jobs, and traditional American values. In short, they are out of step with the modern Democrats in almost every way. Plus, they are disproportionately white males (ick.) Frankly, they are a total embarrassment to the party’s progressive leadership. The left is convinced that US demographics will soon change enough that they will finally be able to give those bigoted Neanderthals the middle finger they so richly deserve. In fact, the DNC thought they were already there back in 2016. A big part of the reason Trump won was Hillary effectively told those voters to kiss her ass. Then she lost Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
Joe Biden sending his gullible voters to the unemployment line with a stoke of his mighty pen.
So the DNC learned their lesson for 2020. Their platform and leadership is still dominated by hard-left progressive zealots. That’s certainly not changing. But the packaging and branding did. The reason the DNC was so gaga for decrepit white male sleazebag Joe Biden to run for President was they believed they could frame him as an old-school moderate Democrat that wouldn’t scare off working-class whites. In short, they believed they could pull a fast one on Midwestern working class voters.
But the Democrat platform was there for everyone to see. Their leadership is well known to all. Surely, the labor unions and their members wouldn’t fall for such an obvious bait-and-switch con job? Yep, they sure did.
Which bring us to this story about the unions blowing a gasket over Biden cancelling the Keystone XL pipeline in his first 10 minutes in office. WTF did they think was going to happen??? Did they really think the Dems would stand up for their interests (guided by white supremacy, no doubt) over the demands of their WOKE! base for environmental and racial justice??? I have absolutely ZERO sympathy for those labor unions and their newly unemployed workers. They are getting exactly what they voted for. I’m not sure if the union leadership is really surprised by this move, or if their public statements are just kabuki theater to keep the newly jobless rubes in line. If they are genuinely dumb enough to be surprised, then they deserve to be taken for a ride. Buckle up, guys. That was just the appetizer. They real shit sandwich is still coming down the pike.
Sleazy Joe Biden was inaugurated President of the United States on January 20th, 2021. However, 43% of voters think the election was not fair. And that is despite the #FakeNews media being on a 24/7 mission to assure us that everything we hear about the election being stolen is “totally baseless” and backed up by “zero evidence.” But was it really a free and fair election? Donald Trump continues to claim the election was “rigged”, and I believe beyond a doubt that he is correct. Though not exactly in the way he means. While there were most likely some shenanigans with the actual votes, the real fix was in well before election day.
Propaganda Arm of the Democrat Party Mobilized
There is a good reason why Freedom of the Press is guaranteed in the very 1st Amendment to our Constitution. Any democratic form of government relies on an informed electorate to function properly. And the only things that ensure the public is properly informed is the existence of a free and fair press which adheres to at least some semblance of journalistic integrity, and the ability of the citizens to communicate openly and freely. Neither of those things exist today in the United States by a longshot. We just witnessed a cabal of large media and tech companies colluding with a political party to shape a narrative and throw an election to their preferred candidate. The left now controls every one of the major network news channels. MSNBC and CNN are indistinguishable from DNC press releases. Even former conservative bastion Fox News now leans center-left outside of their evening opinion shows. The left also has a stranglehold on social media. Facebook and Twitter routinely censor conservative voices, and elevate leftist narratives. While liberal bias in the media is nothing new, the left has now built a near total monopoly on sources of information, and the means of sharing it. And 2020 is the year they really started to leverage that monopoly. American “journalists” already decided years ago that Donald Trump didn’t deserve to be treated fairly in their coverage of him. For the 2020 election, they cranked the bias dial up to 10.
The Basement Candidacy
Joe Biden has to be the least vetted Presidential candidate in history. The media were already in the tank for Democrats back in 2008. But they at least pretended to vet Barack Obama. Biden rarely came out of his basement for more than a few hours at a time. Almost never answered questions. And routinely called a lid on his campaign before the fast food joints started serving lunch. Biden would regularly disappear for days at a time. Certainly, his lack of exposure was partly strategic. Biden was ahead in the polls (if you actually believed them), and the more voters heard from him the less they seemed to like him. But Biden’s mental capacity and physical fortitude would have been major issues in any normal election. Biden is 78 years old, often acts forgetful, and appears weak and frail. Any other candidate in history would have at least been asked the question: are you physically capable of handling the job? But the US media suddenly decided it was rude to ask an aging candidate about his physical decline and let it all slide.
Hunter Who?
Meth is a hell of a drug!
The media’s real crowning moment in the 2020 Election had to be the suppression of the Hunter Biden scandal. It could have been devastating to Biden’s campaign had the media given it even minimal coverage. Joe Biden allowed his drug-addled scumbag of a son to profit off of his public office for years, and almost certainly was in on the grift himself. But the garbage media not only totally embargoed the story, they actively ran interference to try and discredit it. One poll found that 17% of Biden voters would have changed their vote had they known the details of the Hunter Biden scandal. I must admit that 17% seems like an awfully high number to me, but it certainly isn’t zero. And even if the real number is only a tenth of that 17% poll value, that would still be enough to flip several States to Trump and turns his defeat into a victory. Even if you ignore all of the other media malfeasance, this one factor alone is enough to demonstrate that the election was rigged. Immediately after the election it came out that the FBI had already been investigating Hunter Biden for money laundering for over a year. Knowing the FBI, you can safely replace “investigation” with “whitewash” but the story obviously wasn’t Russian disinformation like the #FakeNews kept repeating, and they undoubtedly knew it.
Of all the media deceit and propagndizing disseminated in the lead-up to the election to justify their refusal to report on the Hunter Biden documents — despite knowing they were genuine and not from Russia — this on CNN from @camanpour may be the most amazing: pic.twitter.com/mkI4Jtd4SN
That might be the quote of the year right there from detestable hag Christiane Amanpour. “We’re not gonna do your work for you” in regards to vetting the Democratic nominee for President. Just in case there was any doubt what team the media was on. Incredible.
A Smear Too Good Not to Be True
Before the Hunter scandal came along, there was another scandal involving Donald Trump which played out in September. It’s clear to anyone who has watched Trump over the last 4 years that he loves the men and women of our military. He got them the funding they deserved, finally fixed the VA after years of broken promises by others, and generally went out of his way to show respect to our heroes in uniform. But the media dug up a couple of anonymous sources who claimed Trump referred to the men and women of our military as “suckers and losers.” The sources steadfastly refused to go on record publicly with their slander, and dozens of people with direct knowledge of the alleged incident claimed it was totally false. In public and on the record. Even John Bolton, certainly no friend of Trump, declared publicly that “suckers and losers” was BS. But contrary to the Hunter case, the media seemed much less worried about putting out damaging information with dubious sourcing when it came to Trump. To the contrary, the media ran with the “suckers and losers” September surprise non-stop for days on end. They swore on a stack of bibles that the sources who demanded to remain anonymous really did exist and were 100% reliable patriotic public servants who would never make up such a thing. Swearsies, you guys!!! The media also used Trump’s obvious disdain for John McCain as further evidence he lacked respect for the military. Trump stole a Chris Rock bit a few years ago when asked about The Maverick’s war hero status which the media found to be just beyond the pale. Of course Trump’s real beef with McCain had nothing to do with his military service, and everything to do with the fact he was a two-faced back-stabbing snake in the Senate for years andsecretly pushed the Steele dossier to get the Russia collusion investigation started. Truth is, the vast majority of Trump supporters detest John McCain just as much as Donald Trump does. The media and the Republican establishment love squishy Republicans like McCain and Mitt Romney who can be counted on to be polite losers. They heap praise on Republicans who can be counted on to stab their own base in the back when they need them the most (border wall funding, Obamacare repeal, shampeachment, etc., etc.) But the actual Republican base hates the establishment RINOs. That’s how we got Trump in the 1st place. So how many votes did the stupid suckers and losers hoax change? Probably not that many. But not zero. And in an election with razor thin margins, every stolen vote counts.
Big Brother – Not Only Watching, But Whispering in Your Ear
The left now completely controls the flow of information in this country. With their monopolies in mainstream news organizations and Big Tech companies, they have almost total control over what electronic media we are allowed to watch, see, hear, and read, and share. The testimony by Dr. Robert Epstein in the video below on Big Tech’s ability to sway elections is positively chilling. According to Dr. Epstein, Tech giants like Google and Facebook can swing the vote by millions in a Presidential election. And do it in a virtually undetectable way. I sure hope he is wrong, but given the power of social media and the internet in today’s world it seems totally plausible. Obviously the creepy stalker-like way the tech companies are able to target us with tailored advertisements for products could just as easily be used to bombard us with targeted political ads. And the public actions of their respective CEOs have shown no indication they would willingly constrain themselves from manipulating our elections if they were able to do so.
Dr Robert Epstein testifies before the Senate on Big Tech influencing US elections
Debate Moderators Refuse to Take Yes for an Answer
If you were just going by the 2020 Presidential debates, you would swear that White Supremacy was one of the biggest issues facing the country right now. And that there were two sides to the issue. Biden being against it, and Trump (of course) being for it. Or at least ambiguous about it. The number of times Trump was asked to denounce white supremacy was nothing short of comical. And no matter how many times he explicitly denounced it, the moderators still wouldn’t accept yes for an answer. And to add fuel to the racial fire, sniveling crap weasel Chris Wallace successfully tripped Trump up by deceptively describing the toxic pile of racist horseshit know as Critical Race Theory as “racial sensitivity training” in a debate question. After all, what decent person could be against racial sensitivity? Trump made reaching out to black voters a priority in his administration. And polls indicated things like the crime bill and historically low levels of black unemployment were making inroads. To ensure the black community would continue to vote based on tribalism rather than reason, the Democrats needed to tear open old wounds and get emotions heated again. And the media dutifully obliged. Every four years, you can count on the left to manufacture racial strife for political gain. But 2020 took it to new levels as several Democrats let their cities burn for months.
So what were some of the things that the debate moderators decided aren’t important issues to the country? Jobs and the economy. Whether the U.S. should rejoin the Paris Climate accords. The Keystone XL pipeline. How to best deal with Iran and South Korea. How to handle China. Whether we should stay in Syria and Afghanistan. Corporate tax rates. Gun Control. Border security. Military spending. The deficit and debt. Trade deals. Energy independence. Israel. Health care. Immigration. All of these issues and more were given short shrift or completely ignored. The #FakeNews (and their Democrat overlords) decided early on that Trump was most vulnerable on coronavirus (a natural calamity largely out of his control) and the BLM riots (manufactured crisis egged on by Dem mayors and governors who refused to defend their cities.) And so they hammered those two issues relentlessly to the exclusion of all others.
Townhall or Public Inquisition?
The televised town hall meetings with the candidates were equally biased and unfair. While Joe Biden was allowed to field softballs from former Obama speechwriters, Trump was forced to answer a slew of inflammatory questions from rabid Democrats posing as undecided voters. Savanah Guthrie, perhaps concerned her fake “undecideds” wouldn’t be sufficiently hostile to Trump, used up the first 25 minutes of the hour-long town hall she moderated haranguing Trump about being insufficiently militant about wearing masks before letting anyone else ask a question. Guthrie didn’t stop there, frequently challenging Trump’s answers to the few questions he did get to take from the “voters.” It actually resembled a debate between Guthrie and Trump more than a townhall. You can actually see her face turning bright red with rage as Trump explains he has no problem with masks and for the most part agrees with her position. And just like the debates, the media (which undoubtedly pre-screens the questions) decided coronavirus and white supremacy are the only issues voters care about.
Big Pharma Wants Their Swamp Back
One of the bigger points of contention during the debates was whether a COVID vaccine would be available by the end of the year. Trump claimed Operation Warp Speed was a huge success, a vaccine was imminent, and life in the United States could soon return to normal. Biden responded that Trump was full of it, and that a vaccine was still months, if not years, away. The media, of course, took Biden’s side. CNN even went so far as to report that it was more than Trump just being wrong, but all the experts confirmed it was impossible and the President was just flat out lying to us.
One party that was strangely silent about vaccine progress during all of this was the pharmaceutical companies themselves. In fact, not a peep was heard out of them until after the election. Then, before all of the votes were even counted, not one, but two big-pharma companies made public announcements confirming Trump was right all along and the vaccines were already here. Was the timing of their announcements a coincidence? Not likely. I find it curious that Trump had signed an executive order just a few weeks beforehand aimed at lowering prescription drug prices. This surely didn’t make him very popular with the drug companies working on those vaccines. Big Pharma is a popular scapegoat in D.C. and prescription drug prices have long been an issue that voters really care about. The swamp things love to demonize Big Pharma with their rhetoric around election time. But when it comes to actually standing up to their money and lobbyists, the swamp is more than happy to play ball with the drug companies. So the fact that the vaccine status was kept hidden until after the election smells quite fishy. Knowledge that the vaccine was ready could have completely changed the tone of the debates.
NRA Gunned Down
Biden-Harris is planning one of the most brazen anti-second amendment agendas ever. Their plan is sure to be hugely unpopular in rural midwestern communities… which is why nobody was allowed to talk about it before the election. Not one debate question was asked on gun control. It didn’t come up in the town halls. If any interviewer at all asked Biden about it, I sure as heck didn’t see it.
Normally, the NRA would be all over a candidate promising a blatant gun grab and putting out commercials to expose them. But the gun rights advocate had been conveniently (for Democrats) hampered right before election season by a huge lawsuit. New York AG Letitia James filed a suit seeking to force the dissolution of the 149-year old non-profit organization right as the election was heating up. The suit will almost certainly fail to abolish the NRA, but it succeeded wildly at throwing the most powerful voice for gun owners into disarray at just the precise time the left needed to shut them up.
Fake News / Fake Polls
Another way the #FakeNews media manipulates elections is through fake polls. While polls are typically used to inform about public opinion, they can also be used to shape it. Poor poll numbers can be demoralizing to a candidate’s supporters and dry up enthusiasm and donations. They can also suppress voter turnout. With the majority of Democrats having already voted by mail, this presented an unprecedented opportunity for pollsters to affect an election. Numerous polls were out showing Biden up by double digits in crucial swing States leading up to the election. It must have been as confusing as hell to some cable news viewers when Biden wasn’t running away in a landslide on election night. One particularly ridiculous ABC News / Washington Post poll had Biden up by +17 points in Wisconsin mere days before the election. How did the pollsters get a crucial swing State so very wrong? Are they really that incompetent? Or was their true purpose to suppress election day voters (who were expected to be overwhelmingly Republican) rather than to inform the public about the state of the race. Of course we can never know for sure, but the answer appears blatantly obvious. Biden was also supposedly up by almost double digits in the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania. On election day, the polls also had Biden winning Florida and in a dead heat in Ohio, a State he lost by over 8 points.
Most Secure Election Ever!
Finally, we have the election itself. While I think the media and big tech manipulation of information is by far the most egregious and alarming issue to come out of the 2020 election, I would be remiss not to at least mention the irregularities which occurred in the voting.
Starting off, we have no way of knowing how much illegal ballot harvesting went on, but it surely wasn’t zero. Ballot harvesting is surely one of the biggest risks with mail-in voting. The 2020 election saw the highest voter turnout in 100 years. Coincidence? A large chunk of the country does not trust the integrity of in mail-in voting. This even included Democrats before 2020. We also had Mark Zuckerberg’s barely-disguised $350 million get out the (Democrat) vote donation. We had ballot curing in Pennsylvania which occurred only in Democrat heavy districts. We had numerous stories of mail-in ballots found in dumpsters and ditches. We had ballots received after election day mixed with legitimate ballots in violation of a Supreme Court order. People voting who moved or had P.O. boxes listed as their address. Signature verification was a joke in many districts. Wisconsin allowed their indefinitely confined voter exception to be abused. The number of voters didn’t match the vote count in Pennsylvania. We had scores of election observers that were not allowed to observe the counting. And the stop the count / late night ballot dump scenario that repeated in several States. In short, there was quite a bit of anecdotal evidence of potential widescale fraud in an election were a slew of States changed their rules at the last minute in a haphazard manner allegedly to deal with COVID concerns. Instead of allowing for the various allegations to be investigated in some kind of meaningful and transparent way, the media dismissed all concerns out of hand and loudly declared 2020 the most secure election ever.
Most secure election ever? Anybody with 2 functioning brain cells know that is a lie. There may or may not have been enough fraud to tip the election. But it most certainly was NOT secure. The idiots in the media probably thought making an over-the-top defense was the quickest way to stamp out any controversy. But all it did was confirm to the skeptics that they were being lied to. By sweeping valid concerns under the rug and giving cover to the election officials in charge the media insured that no meaningful audit of the results would occur. And that the election would stand as called and be viewed as illegitimate by millions of people, a result they are apparently OK with.
Finally, we have the Dominion voting machines. These machines and the companies that make them were the source of some insanely wild accusations by attorneys Sidney Powell and Linn Wood. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof, and the Dominion conspiracy theorists never came close to providing any. Like 9/11 Truthers and Russia Collusion diehards, no allegation was too bizarre or improbable for this cohort to snatch up and run with. If Linn Wood had been deliberately trying to sabotage the President’s legal challenges, he couldn’t have done a better job of it. The unhinged rantings of those two whack jobs actually made it easier for the media to dismiss all of the legitimate issues with the vote. To be sure, there are some valid concerns with those machines. And it begs the question of why they are even programmed with the option to weight elections / swap votes in the first place. But the evidence the Dominion machines were actually used in this way just isn’t there.
Senior Moment or Freudian Slip?
Joe Biden shows early signs of dementia for anybody willing to look. He said lots of crazy things, and even some complete gibberish when he went off script. So most people just assumed the clip below was Joe having another senior moment. In hindsight maybe Sleazy Joe’s “extensive voter fraud” quote was something else. Could it be that what we thought was a just a particularly embarrassing gaffe was actually a befuddled old slime bag saying the quiet part out loud? It certainly is an odd thing to say completely by mistake.
Bottom Line
The US Presidential Election of 2020 was a sham and a national disgrace. The American people were fed a ridiculously biased view of the candidates and issues, and dissenting voices were actively silenced by the tech/media monolith. The Democrat Party and their corporate allies ultimately succeeded in defeating the President they hated with a white hot passion. But they had to pull every trick in their arsenal to get it done. And the American people aren’t stupid. They know when they have been jobbed. The damage done to the political discourse and our faith in our public institutions will be deep and long lasting. The establishment was ultimately able to drag Sleazy Joe over the finish line, but it may well prove to be a Pyrrhic victory for the American left. The very legitimacy of the Biden presidency will probably never be accepted by a significant percentage of the country (me included.) How this will affect his ability to govern remains to be seen. Did Joe Biden even receive enough legitimately cast votes to win? I honestly have no idea. But beyond that, did we actually have a free and fair election? The answer to that question is “OH, HELL NO!” It was rigged.
Government sucks at almost everything. Except protecting it’s own. Kevin Clinesmith, the FBI agent who fabricated evidence to justify the Obama Administration’s illegal spying on Carter Page, gets off with barely a slap on the wrist. A $100 fine isn’t a penalty, it is a slap in the face to anybody who wanted to see justice done.
If there was any doubt left, the message just sent makes it crystal clear. The Deep State can do whatever the hell it wants to the American people and their elected representatives. And nobody will ever be held responsible. The Deep State is telling us: We can run half-ass e-mail servers out of our basements to avoid oversight. We can cook up half-baked excuses to spy on political campaigns we don’t like. We can sabotage Presidential Administrations we don’t like from within. We can lie to the Commander in Chief about troop levels to keep wars going we like. We can run deliberately unsecure elections. And then tell you to your face they were the most secure ever. You want evidence? We just told you so. That’s your evidence.
We. Rule. You.
That is the message the Deep State is rubbing in our faces. They make the rules. And we live by them. Don’t like it? Too bad and STFU.
Americans won’t stand for it. The people have a breaking point.
Surprise, surprise. The Democrats support the “Great Reset” championed by the international left. The Euro-weenies have determined that capitalism needs to be dismantled to appease Gaia. (And shield their anemic economies from having to compete against free market countries, of course.) The plebes will just need to forget about that freedom and autonomy stuff, and learn to live like the central planners say they should. And the Biden Administration is apparently totally on board. Turns out Sleazy Joe, or at least the folks pulling the strings on his senile old carcass, wants to completely transform the American economy and the way we live our lives. That seems like a pretty big decision to make for the country. Too bad there wasn’t some kind of forum where the American people could weigh in on the matter and have their say. We could even have two people debate the merits on national television. And then the people could vote on it. But, of course, our garbage media could never allow that to happen. The voters might come to a different conclusion than the political class. So instead the American people get race-baiting clown Chris Wallace demanding Donald Trump denounce white supremacy for the gazillionth time.
With the Democrats sweeping the Georgia runoffs fueled by Stacey Abrams’ ballot harvesting masterpiece, the Deep State is ready to exact it’s revenge and restore order to the Republic. Here are just some of the things we can expect to return in the coming months.
High Unemployment and Anemic Growth Ahead
Democrats love the European economic model. European markets are highly regulated squelching innovation and competition. And their labor laws are so onerous companies are loathe to hire anybody unless it is absolutely necessary. Deep down the Democrats know we can’t have European-style socialism without European levels of joblessness and economic stagnation. The fact their economic policies lead to persistently high unemployment levels and anemic growth is actually just part of the allure to the left. Crappy economies mean better “sustainability” and more voters dependent on the welfare state. So screw your 401K and standard of living, the technocrats need to save the planet by building more windmills and keeping the peons from using up so many resources. It was a running joke on the right how often Obama claimed he was going to “pivot to the economy”, while never actually doing one damn thing to improve it. Sure, Democrats will still pay lip service to American workers. But their actions will be a stab in the back.
Endless Wars To Continue Endlessly
One of the Deep State’s greatest triumphs over the past 4 years was thwarting Donald Trump’s efforts to stop the stupid endless wars the United States has been embroiled in for going on a quarter century. When Trump ordered them to come up with a plan to pull out of Syria, the unelected Pentagon bureaucrats stalled him. When they couldn’t stall any longer, they said it couldn’t be done without causing chaos. It would be reckless and irresponsible to stop sending our brave young men to die in faraway hellholes where people hate us, they explained. And the Democrat political/media complex dutifully agreed. Trump never did bring all of those troops home, one of the biggest failures of his Presidency.
Even more outrageously, the Pentagon lied to Trump about how many troops we still have on the ground. Unelected bureaucrats wanted to keep fighting a war the President told them to end. So instead of ending it, they decided to flat out lie to the President and keep their war going on the down low. Defying the Commander in Chief in this way is literally treasonous and a sets a terrifying precedent for unauthorized military action, yet the mainstream media yawned. I mean, it’s not like Trump was a real President, right? Who can blame the military for defying OrangeManBad?
Luckily, the Military Industrial Complex can breathe a little easier now. The Democrats will be all too happy to send young American boys to their deaths in far-flung shithole countries. Not to further the strategic interests of the United States, or course, because that would reek of nationalism. But rather to do the bidding of the U.N. and the “international community” whose approval they so desperately crave.
Destruction of the Suburbs to Resume
One of the most insidious projects the Obama administration started was Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing, or AFFH. When President Trump said suburban women should love him for saving the suburbs, AFFH is what he was talking about. Sadly, he did a terrible job of explaining exactly why. In a nutshell, AFFH looks to strip the suburbs of their autonomy and merge them into larger metropolitan regions under tight federal control. Suburban planning, zoning, and budgets would be annexed by Deep State social engineers, with the goal of redistributing “regional wealth” more equitably. As ominous as that sounds, the actual gory details are even more evil and anti-American.
AFFH was the single biggest domestic agenda item in Obama’s 2nd term. Yet, the vast majority of the population has no idea what it really is or that it even exists. This fact alone tells you the Democrats and their media propagandists know exactly how (un)popular it would be with actual suburban voters. Expect AFFH to be brought back with a vengeance now that the Democrats have regained power. Just don’t expect to see it actually reported on or talked about in our garbage media.
They Are Totally Coming for Your Guns
An all out assault on the 2nd Amendment is all but guaranteed. Democrat-controlled big cities have failed for decades to control the gang violence raging within them. Rather than focusing on the gangs (too RACIST!!!), the proposed Democrat solution to gang violence is to just disarm everybody. Democrats will undoubtedly push “common sense” gun control. (After all, who could be against common sense?) However, their gun-grabbing rules are inevitably crafted by people who have zero understanding of firearms. And it shows. What they claim is “common sense” will almost certainly be asinine and have zero impact on public safety. (Pro tip: the percentage of gun homicides committed using AR-15 rifles is barely a rounding error in this country.) The rules are, however, guaranteed to be onerous to gun owners and severely restrict your 2nd amendment rights. Which, to be honest, is always the real goal of their “common sense” measures. Hopefully the Supreme Court will deliver us from the coming gun control stupidity.
Transformation of Big Tech into Big Brother
While Democrat antipathy for the 2nd Amendment is based in ideology, their growing animosity for the 1st Amendment is more strategic. Unapproved ideas and opinions are now posing an existential threat in the eyes of the left. With information able to pass back and forth outside of their filters, false (i.e. conservative) narratives are allowed to fester. Thus, the flow of information must be censored for “correctness” to protect “public safety.” Liberals have already destroyed most of Fox News from within. Outside of their evening opinion shows, Fox has morphed into a half-ass imitation of CNN. The left now controls all of the major news outlets, and all of the big tech companies we rely on to communicate. It seems apparent that they are now ready and willing to leverage this monopoly to censor and silence their enemies.
As a horrifying example of how far they are prepared to go, Big Tech just unilaterally decided that the sitting U.S. President should not be allowed to communicate with the 75 million Americans who voted for him. And our media overlords cheered this. Let that sink in.
America Last
America First should not be a controversial statement. Of course the Government of the United States, including the President, should be putting the interests of our country first. It’s what they were specifically elected to do: represent us. While some deride this as nationalism, conservatives see it as the embodiment of free citizens empowered to govern themselves. The problem, however, is that the international left hates nationalism and even the idea of nation-states. They believe in a new world order, where the governments of the world collectively work to ensure equitable outcomes for all of the world’s citizens. Leftists believe in globalism, where super-governmental institutions rule and the will of the individual citizens of any given country is secondary (at best) to the greater good of the planet. That greater good being defined by unelected technocrats, of course. And the Democrats are completely on board with this paternal vision of government. Prepare for American subservience to the UN and numerous other bloated NGOs to resume.
Bottom Line
Returning to the Star Wars analogy, The Empire has never been closer to crushing the Rebel resistance once and for all. The Rebels’ hero has been vanquished. Their army is scattered. And the stormtroopers are rounding up the stragglers. The international left is close to irreversibly breaking America and finally imposing their collectivist vision on the world. If they succeed, the last best hope for liberty and self-government to survive will perish. Indeed, I fear there are some very dark days ahead for the Republic.
The US congress sprang into action to pass a combined $900B “economic stimulus and COVID relief” and $1.4T omnibus spending bill. The bill contains, among other things:
The text of this bill was over 5000 pages. Members of Congress had a couple of hours to look it over before voting on it. This is how the sausage is made in D.C. Backroom deals between crooked politicians and sleazy lobbyists gets synthesized into a 5000 page monstrosity. Then, it gets attached to something critical like coronavirus relief and members are forced to vote on it sight unseen. AOC is generally an idiot who espouses a ridiculous socialist agenda. But, unlike most in D.C., she is an honest and genuine person willing to call out bullshit when she sees it.
This is why Congress needs time to actually read this package before voting on it.
Members of Congress have not read this bill. It’s over 5000 pages, arrived at 2pm today, and we are told to expect a vote on it in 2 hours.
The sugar included to make this shit sandwich palatable to the hoi polloi is a $600 “covid relief” check. If you assume 220 million taxpayers, that’s about $132B of our money returned to us. Uncle Sam will spend the rest (about $3500 per person) on our behalf. And you can totally trust him to look out for your best interests. Swearsies!
One of the worst mistakes President Trump made in his first term was caving on shutting down the government back in 2017 over a grotesque $1.3T omnibus budget bill. Trump gave in to the swamp, but vowed “I’ll never sign a bill like this again.” I believe Trump signed that steaming pile of crap because A) he desperately wanted money to rebuild the military, and B) Paul Ryan convinced him Republicans would lose the House if he shut the government down. Of course, ducking the fight demoralized conservatives and Republicans went on to lose the House in 2020 anyways. But Ryan got his corporate tax cuts!!! Trump would eventually go the shutdown route in 2019, when he had less leverage, and ultimately lose.
Trump has an opportunity to redeem himself on that failure by giving this flaming turd of a bill an emphatic VETO!
How hard is the government looking for election fraud? Really, really hard! The video below is allegedly from Antrim county, Michigan. The counters have come across multiple ballots with the exact same signature. They inform the election official that they suspect fraud, and wish to challenge those ballots. Or at least flag them and set them aside to be evaluated further at a later time. They are basically told to just count all the ballots they are given and completely ignore any irregularities they might observe. That way, the election officials can finish their “audit” and find out “how many ballots we have” and “move forward.” When asked by the counters if they will have an opportunity to challenge the ballots later, the official replies “I don’t know if challenge is the right word” but assures them their concerns are duly noted. If there is a good explanation for this, I would love to hear it. It sure seems like the election officials, who have now turned into election auditors (clown nose off/clown nose on), are much more interested in CYA than actual auditing of their own work. What a shock.
When these people say we had the most secure election in history, I tend to believe them. And when they announce that they haven’t uncovered a hint of election fraud, then that should be the end of it. Right? After all, who is more deserving of blind trust than the government?
I started this post a couple of months ago. The ridiculous row over whether Jill Biden should be called “Doctor” inspired me to finish it.
Out of the myriad of reasons the Left and the #NeverTrump Right hate Donald Trump, the one that gets mentioned with surprising frequency is the way Trump breaks Washington D.C. norms of behavior. Of all the horrible things they accuse Trump of doing, this seems like an odd complaint to fixate on. Until you think about it a little bit. Norms and traditions are about all D.C. has going for it. Anybody think Mazie Hirono is a great intellect? Or Jerry Nadler has a lot of class and sophistication? D.C. is chock full of unimpressive scumbags. They aren’t smart. They aren’t clever. They aren’t hard working. And they certainly aren’t virtuous.
Deep down they must know this, and it probably doesn’t sit well with their over-sized egos. I think the desire to think of oneself as a good person is a near universal human desire. We all want to believe we are good people deep down inside, and that we are deserving of the good things in life that come to us. Pride and ego are just part of human nature.
Yet all the DC “elites” have to signify their imagined greatness is their positions. They are surrounded by the ornate architecture of the massive buildings they work in. Immersed in the pomp and circumstance of the Federal government’s rituals and ceremonies. They occupy lavish offices with dozens of support staff. They lead an army of bureaucrats, who serve at their beck and call. And they draw a horde of lackeys in the press, who slavishly hang on their every word.
Donald Trump obviously isn’t impressed by any of it. He was much more interested in the job of President, than in the position. Trump doesn’t want to be invited to their parties. He doesn’t care what the Sunday morning talking heads say about him on TV shows nobody watches. Trump doesn’t accept the Republican Party establishment as the thought leaders of the right, or the New York Times as the conscience of the nation. In short, Donald Trump won’t even bother to pretend he respects the DC “elites”, much less that he likes them.
Very few politicians have any real accomplishments they can point to in their lives. Joe Biden was a fixture in Washington for 47 years, seemingly because he had a nice smile at one time and was good at debating. Biden mastered the art of belching up platitudes in a folksy style that sounds just like the old fashioned common sense talk your dear old grandpa would use. Joe also knew how to play the game and work the system. What Joe didn’t know how to do was actually deliver on behalf of the people he represented. After nearly half a century in office, Sleazy Joe’s most notable achievements are long incarcerations for black men over minor drug crimes, and enriching himself and his family.
The Washington swamp things have always portrayed themselves as the pinnacle of expertise and achievement. Donald Trump has smashed that mirage, perhaps for good. The emperors no longer have clothes. They are laid bare for all to see. They can’t hide their mediocrity and immorality behind a false veneer of respectability anymore. And they really hate him for that.
This is getting ridiculous. After weeks of demanding a signature audit in Georgia, Secretary of State Raffensperger finally realized this issue wasn’t going away and caved. Sort of. He ordered an audit of a few random samples from only one county. And the audit is being performed by his office. The same office that is suspected of not verifying signatures the first time around.
Raffensperger reaffirmed his belief that Georgia’s election was secure and said broad accusations that signature-matching didn’t take place have been unsupported by evidence, but he believes an audit could increase voters’ faith in the results.
Right. So when Raffensperger comes out in a few days and says his team of election workers determined they did a super awesome job the first time around and everyone should just shut up about it, that should really increase the voters’ faith in the results. The Georgia signature audit is total bullshit. The signatures need to be audited by a 3rd party. With access to all of the ballots. Not just the ones the SOS wants them to see. We already had bullshit recounts, with the same people recounting the same fraudulent ballots. No evidence of fraud was found!!! What a shock. I was sure those election workers would willingly implicate themselves.
And just like before, nobody is allowed to watch what they are actually doing…
Fuck. These. People.
The point where we need to break out the muskets is getting really close.
Update
Raffensperger has announced his election whitewash will now expand to all counties. Whoop dee doo. No matter how many times you say “Trust us”, we will never just take your word for it. The audit must be transparent and performed by a 3rd party, or it doesn’t mean squat. To say the Georgia SoS has an incentive not to find that fraud was allowed to happen due to his negligence which would almost certainly require his immediate resignation and end his political career is an understatement.
The rightwing blogosphere is crucifying Supreme Court Justices Barrett, Kavanaugh, and Gorsuch right now for refusing to hear the Texas case against WI, PA, MI, and GA. They are being roundly criticized for a lack of loyalty — throwing Trump and Conservatives who supported their nominations under the bus. They have been widely tarred as cowards and coup enablers.
This is, however, deeply unfair. These 3 Supreme Court Justices did exactly what Conservatives always claim we want them to do. They ruled based on the law as written. They didn’t rule based on party loyalty or their own personal sense of justice. Texas has no business telling other States how to run their elections. To take this case would have upended 230 years of Federalism and set a dangerous precedent for expanding Federal power over the States. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the Justices were just as appalled at what is going on as the rest of us. But they swore an oath to uphold the US Constitution, and that is exactly what they did. It is not the role of the Supreme Court to correct legislative shortcomings or impose their personal vision of justice. Justices need the humility to accept their role even when it leads to results they personally don’t like. And the facts in the Texas case left no room for any other outcome.
The 2020 election was a farce and a national embarrassment. What has been uncovered so far with regards to potential election fraud is appalling. The blatant disregard for State election laws is a total outrage. And the stonewalling by the States involved is inexcusable and sure to backfire in the long run. The American people will never accept this sham of an election as legitimate until a thorough, open, and honest accounting of what really happened is allowed. But that reckoning has to happen the right way. A sham trial is not the right way to overturn a sham election.

Looks like Representative Chip Roy of Texas came to pretty much the same conclusion. Check out his Twitter thread below…
Today, a number of my colleagues will be filing an amicus brief in support of the lawsuit filed by the State of Texas regarding the election results of several other states. Respectfully, I will not join because I believe the case itself represents a dangerous violation… (1/5)
