K.T. McFarland: FBI, DOJ, and CIA rigged the last 2 elections… and they will rig 2024

May 22, 2023 By Thomas Lifson

 

Former deputy national security adviser K.T. McFarland, who worked for General Michael Flynn — unjustly forced from office — offers a chilling and highly realistic view of what we face: a coup by the Deep State that they are planning to repeat in 2024 because they don't want their crimes prosecuted by a Republican president and A.G.

Speaking with Maria Bartiromo on her Fox Business Network program, McFarland laid out the grim reality that, strangely, does not bother any of the people who rage about "protecting democracy" from Donald Trump.  Kanekoa The Great summarizes her views and presents a two-and-a-half minute clip of her.  I urge you to watch the whole thing, as there is a lot of richness that doesn't make it to this summary..........To Read More....

If Trump Had Prevailed in 2020

By Ed Brodow  March 7, 2023

Joe Biden has distinguished himself as the worst president since before World War II. Voters failed to see Biden for being what Thomas Sowell described as “not only a phony but an incompetent one.” The irony is that when Joe entered the White House, we were coming off of four years with a strong president.

Biden’s predecessor implemented a strategic series of policies that were successful in reversing the destructive leftist agenda of the Obama administration. Donald Trump restored America’s economy, lowered unemployment, made us energy independent, stood up to China’s expansionist foreign policy and one-sided economic practices, took the U.S. out of the pernicious Paris Accord, enhanced peace in the Middle East, and stabilized conditions on the southern border........To Read More...

 

150,000 Votes in the 2020 Election Not Tied to a Valid Address in Wisconsin: Election Watchdog

By Steven Kovac January 5, 2023

Election Watch (EW), a Wisconsin election integrity watchdog organization, has discovered that more than 150,000 votes cast in the 2020 presidential election cannot be connected with a valid address.

EW computer analyst Peter Bernegger said the group’s study of Wisconsin’s voter rolls found 45,000 such occurrences involving people who were living out of state in the Nov. 3 ballot, with another 107,000 documented instances on the part of voters who moved to another address within the state and cast a ballot in a different jurisdiction from the one in which they actually reside.

“That’s over 150,000 votes cast in the 2020 presidential election that cannot be tied to a valid address,” said Bernegger. “That’s illegal in the state of Wisconsin.  “Though there may be a reasonable explanation for most of these, the number of instances is so large that if only two out of 10 were nefariously cast votes, that was enough to tip the election to Biden.”...........To Read More....

The Left Were the Mad Scientists, We Were Their Lab Rats

Once the Left took the presidency, the House, and Senate, they tried a deadly experiment on the American people.

By Victor Davis Hanson November 2, 2022 

 

Editor's Note: This appeared here.  I turned his comments into bullet points is I intended to use this piece as a source for an article of my own.   RK

As the midterms approach, one way of looking at America’s current disaster is that we, the American people, were lab rats. And since 2021, the Left were the mad scientists, eager to try out their crackpot leftist experiments on us. 

• The result is that the housing market is tottering on the verge of collapse. 
• As interest rates soar, our $31 trillion national debt crowds out everything else in the budget.
• Inflation roars at a rate of 8-9 percent per annum, higher than at any time in 40 years. Yet the prices of the stuff of life—food, fuel, shelter, energy—are far steeper still than the official rate. 
• No one is safe from thugs anymore—whether a commuter on a New York subway or the Pelosis in Pacific Heights.
• The country reportedly has a 25-day supply of diesel fuel—the energy source that runs the nation. Meanwhile, we keep draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve of oil—a commodity we have in abundance but refuse to produce fully.
• We never fixed the supply-chain crisis of last year, and so still face shortages of key consumer goods.
• The labor participation rate is at an all-time low—given fat government COVID subsidies, the Siren-song appeal of staying home after the lockdowns, fear of COVID, and millions of workers with long COVID.
• The post-Kabul Pentagon is quiet about the depletion of its critical stocks of weaponry. We have sent billions of dollars’ worth in howitzer shells, javelin missiles, and Hilmar rocket launchers to Ukraine without replenishing our own arsenals. The Army’s recruitment rate is off 50 percent this year.
• Our broken Navy is ossifying as China expands its fleet in expectation of absorbing Taiwan. 
• When we look to the president for an accounting for these madcap experiments, we get nothing. In the last few weeks, Joe Biden has lied that gas was $5 a gallon when he took office when it was half that. 
• He falsely swears that he passed his student-loan amnesty plan by one or two votes when he simply signed away a half-trillion dollars in debt by an executive order and bypassed Congress. 
• Kamala Harris is our border czar but she avoids the nonexistent southern border like the plague. 
• As the country depletes its petroleum reserves, she gushes about “solutions” like transforming the nation’s school bus fleet to battery power. 
• On the rare occasion she is allowed abroad, Harris has no idea what North Korea’s official name is—only that it is supposedly one of America’s staunchest allies. 
• We are now headed for a decisive midterm election. Strangely the hard-left architects of the last two years neither offer a defense of their failing agendas, nor agree to change them.
• No Democratic congressional candidates brag about the 3 million people who illegally crossed an open border. 
• None boast that they helped cancel key pipelines, reduced federal leasing of gas and oil, and shut down the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. None take credit for hammering investments in fossil fuels. 
• None preen over the no-bail and defund-the-police policies of left-wing, big-city prosecutors and mayors who have spiked crime.
• None insist that an annual 8-9 percent inflation rate is a desirable spreading of the wealth. 
• And yet odder still, no Democratic candidate, state or national—and most certainly not Joe Biden—offers to alter these toxic policies.
• If they won’t defend what they have done, they apparently will not undo what they have wrought either. 
• No Democratic gubernatorial candidate wants one foot built of a new border wall. No House candidate demands that the Keystone pipeline be finished. No senatorial candidate calls for fiscal discipline to lower inflation. 
• Instead, they stay mute. 
• Biden mutters lies about MAGA extremists under every bed while daily offering yet another made-up tidbit of his fantasy autobiography. 
• State and national candidates either avoid debates with their Republican opponents or delay them in hopes they will become irrelevant since millions of mail-in ballots are already cast. 
• Rarely have voters turned over their country to radicals, socialists, and nihilists.  We did in 2020. 
• And once the Left took the presidency, the House, and Senate, they tried a deadly experiment on us the American people, their veritable lab rats. 

It failed—and has now nearly destroyed us along with the country.  Yet in November the Left apparently demands more time for more experimentation on more of us. But to do what exactly?

• Pass more no bail laws and promote more defunding of the police? Make the jails and prisons emptier?
• More destruction of what’s left of the southern border? 
• More biological men overpowering women in sports?
• More printing of money?
• More cutting back on federal gas and oil leases and canceling pipelines? 

Apparently, the only thing that will stop their mad experimentation is that they have run out of us—their once willing lab rats.

Election Fraud in 2022?

May 20, 2022 By Patrick J. Gibbs

Next week is the start of the 2022 election season in Georgia with the party primary elections. All the party leaders involved in the controversy over allegations of election fraud in November 2020 are up for reelection. The other hot issue for Georgia’s voters is whether the 2021 election reform law will produce credible election results in 2022 and 2024, results that reflect the will of a majority of lawful voters. The odds are not good that the reform will work.

The movie 2000 Mules provides damning evidence of an organized plot to stuff election drop boxes in the 2020 election with “harvested” ballots – often in the dead of night. It’s all there on your computer screen when you stream the video. Does the 2021 law address this sort of widespread fraud?.......To Read More....

2000 Mules Documentary Provides Compelling Evidence That 2020 Election Was Stolen

By Debra Heine May 5, 2022 

After the 2020 election, government officials and their allies in the media repeated the mantra that the election was the “most secure in American history,” Dinesh D’Souza pointed out before the premiere of his new documentary film 2000 Mules at Mar-a-Lago, Wednesday night. 

But how would they know that? D’Souza wondered. Even if they couldn’t prove the election was rigged, “it still doesn’t follow that it was the most secure election in history,” he said. “The only way you could prove that would be if you were to compare the amount of fraud in 2020 with 2016, with 2012, with 2008, with 2004, and show that there has been less fraud now than in any of those elections.” D’Souza’s question is a good one.

Did election officials study the security of every election prior to 2020 to make the determination that the 2020 election was “the most secure ever”? Or were they just spinning another false narrative that benefits one side of the aisle?

The movie 2000 Mules handily answers that question.

Using state-of-the-art technology, the film convincingly makes the case that the 2020 presidential election was perhaps the most unsecure election ever, and was stolen from former President Trump.........To Read More.....

Federal Prosecutors Probing False Electoral College Submissions in Several States

By Isabel van Brugen January 28, 2022 

Federal prosecutors are probing 2020 Electoral College submissions that they say falsely declared former President Donald Trump the winner of several states he lost.  “Our prosecutors are looking at those, and I can’t say anything more on ongoing investigations,” Lisa Monaco, the Justice Department’s deputy attorney general told CNN.  Attorneys general in Michigan and New Mexico told The Epoch Times that they have referred investigations related to illegitimate Electoral College results to federal prosecutors.

“While review under state law is ongoing, our office has referred this matter to the United States Attorney, Fred J. Federici,” a spokesperson for New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas, a Democrat, told The Epoch Times in an email..........To Read More...

 My Take - Do I understand this correctly?  Is this an effort by the Biden Justice Department to show the only voter fraud that took place involved Trump?  This all seems strange to me, and I think it's a story that needs watching.  

Nearly 150 legislators from over three dozen states call for countrywide audit of 2020 election

92 state legislators from all across America have issued a demand letter calling for a 50 state-wide 2020 election audit and decertification following the explosive Arizona audit that revealed how “our representative republic suffered a corrupted 2020 election.”

After the comprehensive Arizona audit of Maricopa County was completed, Arizona Senator Wendy Rogers unveiled what she called the “new Declaration of Independence” in which 41 state legislators across America called for a 50-state wide 2020 election audit, and should those audits suggest a flawed election, mass decertification of the original 2020 election results, National File previously reported.

“This is our new Declaration of Independence. This is our manifesto of freedom,” Rogers declared.

The Great Coup of 2020 and the New American State

by Wallace Garneau | Sep 22, 2021 | Politics, World

We learned a couple of things this past week. We learned that General Mark Milley committed treason against the United States by telling his Chinese counterparts that he, and not the President, was in command of the United States Armed Forces. We learned that should there be any danger to China from our armed forces, he would warn them ahead of time.

In fairness to the General, I have some sympathy for his speaking with Chinese military leaders to reassure them, after the election, that we would have a peaceful transition of power. The whole purpose of the transitionary period between a President being elected and taking office is to ensure a smooth and peaceful transition, so I give Mark Milley some latitude there just as I gave Trump latitude when he contacted foreign officials before being sworn in, back in 2016 (CNN gave him no such latitude).

I do not give Mark Milley any latitude for his phone call on October 30, 2019 – before the election even took place. At that time, he was not a part of an outgoing President’s administration, and had no responsibility to help ensure a peaceful transition of power. He was, instead, claiming to have taken over as Commander in Chief himself, in a flagrant violation of his duties, of the Constitution, and his Chain of Command. That was treason, and there is no way to downgrade it, or to pass it off as something else. It was arguably the greatest act of treason in American history not directly related to the Civil War.............The traitors are in charge............Okum’s Razor says that the simplest solution is usually the correct one. If we apply that here, we would say that the Democratic Party leadership is full of traitors............To Read More.....

The 2020 Election: What Really Happened?

Posted on September 17, 2021 by John Hinderaker in Voter Fraud

Controversy has swirled around the 2020 election for almost a year now. What really happened? Did the Democrats steal the presidential election? And if so, how?

Mollie Hemingway has been investigating issues surrounding the election since the beginning of 2021. She is one of the best and most fearless analysts and writers now working. (For just one example, see the acceptance speech that she delivered earlier this week upon being awarded the 2021 Bradley Prize.) Mollie has written a book titled Rigged: How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats Seized Our Elections, which you can buy from Barnes & Noble at the link. (Mollie is not a fan of Amazon.)

Rigged is scrupulously researched and includes no tinfoil-hat speculation. It promises to be the best book about the 2020 election. Its publication date is October 12, and I recommend it highly............To Read More....

 

The 2020 Election Requires Believing the Unbelievable

To believe Joe Biden legitimately won the election to be President of the United States is to believe the unbelievable.

By Rich Kozlovich

For years I've been saying everything we read in the news, all the news we see on television, and everything we're being taught in school is a lie.  Not just lies of commission, but we're being inundated with lies of omission, and most of my friends and peers snickered.  Another one of Rich's "conspiracy theories", and everyone, including me, would laugh with goodhearted banter!  After all, we all "know" there's no such thing as a conspiracy. 

But the fact is there's a difference between "conspiracy theorists" and those who believe in conspiracies.  Conspiracy theorists need to believe in conspiracies in order to explain a reality they don't understand.  People who believe in conspiracies have read history books, understand reality, and understand conspiracies are very real, they are insidious, and they are predicated on lies and misdirection, which the corrupt main stream media is more than happy to provide. 

The problem is three fold.  

1. We, as a society just aren't looking for conspiracies, which is why more cases of voter fraud hasn't materialized over the last 50 years, in spite of the fact JFK was elected over Nixon by voter fraud, and LBJ was notorious for it in Texas.
   
2. We've been indoctrinated conspiracies doesn't exist.  
3. We've been indoctrinated to believe anything contrary to the leftist narrative is nothing more than the rantings of ignorant, not very intelligent, and possibly insane conspiracy theorists.  

It's been said the greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was to convince the world he didn't exist.  Well, that's same rationale applies to conspiracies. 

However, if it pleases the misinformed and uninformed to call me a conspiracy theorist in order to ease their unquestioning minds, well fine, I will accept it if they can explain the unbelievable things we have to believe in order to think Joe Biden was legitimately elected President.  

The following information is being taken directly from two articles.  This piece, 5 More Ways Joe Biden Magically Outperformed Election Norms.appeared in the Federalist, and this piece in American Spectator, Reasons why the 2020 presidential election is deeply puzzling. 

Here are the anomalies we're expected to ignore, and unbelievable "beliefs" we're expected to believe:

President Trump received more votes than any previous incumbent seeking reelection. He got 11 million more votes than in 2016, the third largest rise in support ever for an incumbent, and he lost.

By way of comparison, President Obama was comfortably reelected in 2012 with 3.5 million fewer votes than he received in 2008. It's claimed Biden won more votes nationally than any presidential candidate in history, yet he only won 524 counties in the entire nation, while Obama won 873 counties in 2008, and he under performed Hillary Clinton’s 2016 totals in every urban county in the United States, he outperformed her in the metropolitan areas of Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.

We're expected to believe candidate Joe Biden was so effective at animating voters in 2020 that he received a record number of votes, more than 15 million more than Barack Obama received in his re-election of 2012. Amazingly, he managed to secure victory while also losing in almost every bellwether county across the country. No presidential candidate has been capable of such electoral jujitsu until now.

• We're expected to believe he outperformed Obama.
• Ninety-five percent of Republicans voted for Trump
• He did extraordinarily well with rural male working-class whites.
• His black vote increased to 50% over his 2016 election.   
• Joe Biden got well below 90% support among black voters nationally. 
• Trump's share of the national Hispanic vote to 35 percent.
• Please note this, no one can win in Florida, Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico unless they get 60% or more of the Hispanic vote.   
• And we're to believe Biden was elected in spite of all that?
• Biden had no "coattails" bringing more Democrats into offices held by Republicans.
• Trump brought in a "red wave" into the House gaining seats and winning all the toss up elections.  
• Are we're expected to believe Republicans won but Trump lost? 
• Then there's the atypical voting patterns and the bizarre manner they were accumulated and counted:

Nine Points to Ponder:

1. Late on election night, with Trump comfortably ahead, many swing states stopped counting ballots. In most cases, observers were removed from the counting facilities. Counting generally continued without the observers

2. Statistically abnormal vote counts were the new normal when counting resumed. They were unusually large in size (hundreds of thousands) and had an unusually high (90 percent and above) Biden-to-Trump ratio

3. Late arriving ballots were counted. In Pennsylvania, 23,000 absentee ballots have impossible postal return dates and another 86,000 have such extraordinary return dates they raise serious questions

4. The failure to match signatures on mail-in ballots. The destruction of mail in ballot envelopes, which must contain signatures

5. Historically low absentee ballot rejection rates despite the massive expansion of mail voting. Such is Biden’s narrow margin that, as political analyst Robert Barnes observes, ‘If the states simply imposed the same absentee ballot rejection rate as recent cycles, then Trump wins the election’

6. Missing votes. In Delaware County, Pennsylvania, 50,000 votes held on 47 USB cards are missing

7. Non-resident voters. Matt Braynard’s Voter Integrity Project estimates that 20,312 people who no longer met residency requirements cast ballots in Georgia. Biden’s margin is 12,670 votes

8. Serious ‘chain of custody’ breakdowns. Invalid residential addresses. Record numbers of dead people voting. Ballots in pristine condition without creases, that is, they had not been mailed in envelopes as required by law

9. Statistical anomalies. In Georgia, Biden overtook Trump with 89 percent of the votes counted. For the next 53 batches of votes counted, Biden led Trump by the same exact 50.05 to 49.95 percent margin in every single batch. It is particularly perplexing that all statistical anomalies and tabulation abnormalities were in Biden’s favor. Whether the cause was simple human error or nefarious activity, or a combination, clearly something peculiar happened.

In order for anyone to believe Biden is a legitimately elected President of the United States you must believe all these anomalies are natural and normal coincidences.    That's simply not believable!  And there's no such thing as a conspiracy! Right?

Republicans Secure Special Election Victory in Biden-Won District in New Hampshire

Ashley Oliver 14 Apr 2021

 

A Republican defeated a Democrat in a New Hampshire House special election Tuesday in Merrimack, a town President Joe Biden carried by six points in the 2020 presidential race.  In the state’s first special election since the 2020 cycle, Town Councilor Bill Boyd beat out former state Rep. Wendy Thomas by eight percent, strengthening Republicans’ majority in the 400-seat House, 213–186. (Editor's Note:  I believe there are 212 Republicans in the House. RK)

“The turnout was huge by special election standards, reflecting the enthusiasm on both sides,” local outlet WMUR observed. The seat became vacant after the death of state Rep. Dick Hinch, a Republican who had just been elected speaker of the House before he died in December.  

 The Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) said in a press release after Boyd’s win that Democrats had perceived the race as a “bellwether” for the upcoming 2021 and 2022 elections. The RSLC reported that in a Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) fundraising email in April, the latter group had written of the race, “This is an early chance for Democrats to get a head start and lay the groundwork for victory in one of the hardest-fought swing states of the 2022 midterms.”  ........To Read More....

Want to Guess How Close Trump and the GOP Came to Winning...Everything in 2020?

Matt Vespa |  @mvespa1 Feb 10, 2021 

Donald Trump is toxic. The GOP is finished. Joe Biden won; he has a mandate — all of these things are false. 

Also, it would seem demography is not destiny and higher turnout isn’t an automatic lock for Democrats. We have another autopsy of sorts from The Washington Post on the 2020 election. Want to take a guess how many votes Republicans needed to control everything? One million votes, two million? Nope. It didn’t even break 100,000. It was 90,000 votes.

 Republicans just needed 90,000 votes to control all of Washington this past election cycle. Literally minor changes in the presidential, House, and Senate races could have led to the GOP coming into 2021 with a unified government. There are many ways to skin the electoral cat as some have said in the past. It’s not all grounded in the popular vote. 

The Electoral College strategy is different. Are we shocked that Donald Trump had fewer popular votes than Joe Biden? No, we knew this was going to be the case, as the areas that are fastest growing are typically Democratic bastions, which also do next to nothing regarding expanding the Left’s ability to reach 270 any easier. 

What about Florida? Yeah, the state has become more diverse for sure. It’s also more Republican than it was back in 2000 — go figure. Demography is not destiny and there are a host of issues where civil war can break out among Democrats, especially regarding who is filling the campaign coffers......To Read More....

Causes of the Great Rejection by Commoners

January 19, 2021 By Christopher Chantrill 

So it was for this that our betters hounded President Trump for four years and then Did Not Fix the election of the political hack Joe Biden: a standard issue stimulus package, with all Democratic interests squared, and a $15-an-hour minimum wage. With various climate-change regulatory manipulations to follow. Wow. Real “save the world” stuff!

It shows, as if we needed telling, that our ruling class has No Clue, except how to Keep the Fix In.

Back in the day, all educated people had an opinion on “the causes of the French Revolution.” Or the War of 1812. I wonder what they will say about the Great Rejection by Commoners that just couldn’t take the dumb-as-posts educated administrative rulers anymore.

It depends, of course, on who the next ruling class is, and how the professors and bestseller historians suck up to the new rulers. Anyway, they are unlikely to blame their educated forefathers for the End of the Educated Class.........To Read More.....

 

Stop the Steal

January 19, 2021 By Rick Fuentes

There’s something about the title of this article that really rubs Democrat socialists the wrong way.  It incites a level of anger and irrational behavior not seen since the MAGA clothing line hit the shelves.  For the Democrat party and their media acolytes, this catchphrase has been stretched thin to wrap around the recent violent and unlawful breach of the U.S. Capitol, now used as the black swan event to drive a stake through the heart of Trump conservatives (Omitting Republicans here is deliberate, as the backbone and fealty of the Grand Old Party has been compromised in ways that are difficult to understand and painful to watch).

"Stop the Steal" is not a call to violence, nor does it narrow upon a disputed election that will put the worst possible nominee of any presidential race in American history behind the Resolute Desk.  It represents a civil but firm opposition to a Democrat policy platform that seeks to wrench the foundations of democracy out from under our feet.

In the past year, the crawl of socialism in this country has become a full-out sprint acted out in anarchistic nightly displays on our city streets.  Political scientists and Marxist apologists assuage concerns with claims that socialism can coexist with capitalism. At what price and for how long?  Our schools, language, media, and workplaces have already willfully or unwittingly permitted this Orwellian drift to greater government control over our lives.  Standing athwart complete capitulation is our Bill of Rights, against which beltway Democrats and blue state governors, hiding behind the pandemic, have leveled a crippling broadside.............To Read More.....

SCOTUS shirks its responsibility when needed most

 December 11, 2020 will be remembered as the date when America was abandoned by its legal system at a time when it was needed most.

On that date the United States Supreme Court (SCOTUS) refused to hear: 

STATE OF TEXAS, Plaintiff, v. COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, STATE OF GEORGIA, STATE OF MICHIGAN, AND STATE OF WISCONSIN, Defendants

The case challenged the 2020 Presidential election results—an election whose legitimacy was being questioned by President Trump and the 74 million people who voted for him but was also being affirmed by President-elect Joe Biden and the 85 million people who voted for him...........To Read More....

Destination: Socialism

December 24, 2020  By Allen Gindler 

  

In a recent article, I stated that the U.S. lacks an influential right-wing party, and our two major parties — Democrats and Republicans — are left and center-left, respectively.  That is, the perceived rightness of the GOP makes sense only relative to the Democratic party.  It is refuted if one considers the actual policy carried out by Republicans for the last one hundred years.

First of all, it is necessary to clarify what we understand by the left-right political spectrum.  A political spectrum is a system of qualitative comparisons of different political philosophies.  There are plenty of approaches in compiling the political spectrum based on various factors, dimensions, axes, and cardinal points.  Most often, political spectrograms differ significantly from each other, and it seems that each of them describes an entirely different reality.

Recent developments in the analysis of political philosophies, based on a multi-disciplinary approach utilizing set theory and mathematical logic in a framework of qualitative comparative analysis (QCA), started to remove the ambiguity in understanding a political spectrum.  The study identifies three main factors that influence the political spectrum polarization: attitude to private property, degree of individual freedom, and the scale of wealth redistribution..........To Read More....

Our Upside-down Postelection World

Victor Davis Hanson Dec 24, 2020

After Nov. 3, the meaning of some words and concepts abruptly changed. Have you noticed how new realities have replaced old ones?  Media cross-examination of the president is now an out-of-date idea. The time for gotcha questions has come and gone. Why ask a president whether he is a traitor or a crook when you can focus on his favorite flavor of milkshake or compliment him on his socks?

The old pre-election truth was that new vaccines take years to develop. The new post election truth is that it's no big deal to bring out new vaccines in nine months.  Impeaching a first-term president after his first midterm election -- on a strictly partisan vote, for political reasons other than the Constitution's "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors" -- is now a terrible idea.

Worse would be to appoint a special counsel to harass a president on unfounded charges of collusion with China. An even scarier notion would be a conservative dream team of partisan lawyers hounding President Joe Biden -- using a 22-month, $40 million blank check.  It would be unprofessional for university psychologists and physicians from a distance to diagnose, in pop fashion, the mental faculties of a President Biden.

Certainly, there would never be talk about Department of Justice officials contemplating wearing a wire as part of an entrapment scheme to remove a President Biden through the 25th Amendment. That would almost constitute a coup attempt............To Read More.....
