The Current Republican Party No Longer Represents Me

It’s time for real Republicans to start showing up to local meetings and taking over 

By Tim Young October 26, 2023

Over the past week, it should have become incredibly obvious to registered Republicans that the elected GOP and the party itself no longer represents its constituency.

It began with more than 20 members of the party voting against Representative Jim Jordan for Speaker of the House. Jordan, who has been popular with the base and one of the most vocal members of Congress over the past seven years, should have been a shoo-in if the party pays attention to its base, but they simply don’t care.

The second thing of note that happened was Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell simply rolling over for the Biden proposal to send another $106 billion dollars to our current “forever wars” and “other projects.” Broken down, the $106 billion would mean $61.4 billion for Ukraine, $14.3 billion for Israel, and $30.1 billion for other projects like “border security,” whatever that might mean to an administration with a wide-open southern border...........To Read More....

 

Deny, Deny, Deny

The Republican Party, American patriots, America, and the free world are not served by the incompetent buffoons who are leading the Republican Party down the road to ruin. Deny, deny, deny is a bad tactic and a horrible strategy

Legacy Republican Party leadership is buying into the deny, deny, deny narrative concerning election integrity concerns

"We can evade reality, but we cannot evade the consequences of evading reality" ~ Ayn Rand

The disciples of the American political machines are in denial regarding the integrity, or rather the lack thereof, of the American election process. It is easy to understand why Marxist Democrat corruptocrats are not interested in election integrity because, more often than not, it is rigged in their favor. From the Democrat perspective, keep donin’ what you’re doin’ ‘cause we like what we got!

It is not clear at all why the legacy Republican Party leadership is buying into the deny, deny, deny narrative concerning election integrity concerns. In October 2020, Joe Biden told us on national television that the corruptocrats of the Democrat Party were going to be fraudulently conducting the November 2020 election. Why can’t or won’t the powers to be in the legacy Republican Party believe what Biden said in public?............To Read More...

 

Tracking a Fraudulent Ballot in Real Time

January 30, 2023 By Jay Valentine

During our year with Mike Lindell, the Fractal team went from never having seen an election roll to running the largest election database ever created, with over 1.7 billion records — for 12 states alone.  With only 165 million or so voters in the United States, why such a large database?  Data travel, data move, data tell a story as they traverse different databases — over time.   Let's take an example............

As we work with voter integrity teams to create the UnDeliverable Ballot Database in other states, we look to ingest literally trillions of records — with tons of dirty data — because we can know with certainty where a 2024 ballot is going.............To Read More.... 

My Take - I recommend viewing my file.  One thing is clear, Valentine and his team have demonstrated how to prove voter fraud and how to curtail it.  I don't think anyone can entirely stop it but it can be contained to the point that people like Joe Biden can't be installed in elective offices via massive and organized efforts to defraud the nation.   That leaves these questions.  

Since the bug man is aware of this, since I've followed his work for some time, so this isn't something out of the blue, then why doesn't the Republican leadership know about all this?   If they do, why haven't the Republican leadership availed themselves of this information and acted on it?   If they don't, doesn't that mean they're incompetent, or they're part of the corruption?    If that's so, and it appears they're either incompetent, corrupt or both, how can anyone believe they're competent or deserving to be in a leadership role?  

•  Harmeet Dhillon's Message for the RNC Heading Into 2024
• The Republican Party Is Addicted to Losing...........When the RNC members gathered to vote on Friday, they knew Republicans from across the country wanted a new Chair. Instead of listening to these demands, RNC leaders voted overwhelmingly for McDaniel to serve another two years as the party’s Chair. The vote was not even close, as McDaniel won 111 of the 167 votes cast.
  

 

All I Want for Christmas is Election Integrity

December 11, 2022 By Robin M. Itzler @ American Thinker

As we start the most magical time of the year, we must still make sure Republican leadership hears us through the mistletoe. Most conservative patriots remain disgusted that McConnell, McCarthy, and McDaniel (now known collectively as McFailure) did nearly nothing following the 2020 Presidential debacle. Their lack of spine and urgency to protest and legally challenge numerous election irregularities emboldened our “friends” across the aisle to be more blatant with election shenanigans. The proof is Arizona’s gubernatorial election.

State and national Republican leadership in Maricopa County, Arizona, made as much noise as cacti on Loop 101.

Western Journal founder Floyd Brown was on Steve Bannon’s The War Room speaking about voting irregularities in Arizona:

On Election Day… We had a complete disaster. Complete malfeasance in Election Day voting and literally thousands of people left the polls. Here in my neighborhood, there was a three-hour wait… Everyone out here knows Kari Lake won the election fair and square but they’re doing everything they can to be able to stop her from taking over as governor… Kari Lake is one of the most talented politicians or spokesmen for the MAGA movement, period. She is an unbelievably gifted communicator… It’s very vital Steve. The truth is if we don’t control Arizona there is no pathway for any Republican, I don’t care if it’s DeSantis or Trump or any other possible candidate. Without Arizona there is no path to winning the next presidency.

As our percolating banana republic goes from “election integrity” to “election thievery,” Republican leadership’s answer is to get on the bandwagon and play the same ballot harvest game. Their thinking is that if blue states like California can take days to count votes, so there’s plenty of time to find boxes filled with ballots for Democrat candidates, Republicans can do it, too. If Democrats can get dead people to vote, Republicans can do it, too. If Democrats can win with more votes than there are people in a district, Republicans can do it, too. If Democrats can dump dubious ballots into isolated ballot boxes, Republicans can do it, too.

How about Republican leadership pushing back and insisting on election integrity? An Election Day with in-person voting (exceptions for military and infirmed), voter ID, and paper ballots. Does that sound implausible?

Want implausible? Go back to 1776 and 13 colonies primarily inhabited by farmers and small businessmen forming a ragtag army that, against all odds, fought the behemoth Great Britain military and won.

First, we must recognize the problem

The only time Republican leadership seriously seeks out conservatives is during an election cycle. Douglas MacKinnon summarized this in his well-titled essay, Republican Establishment to Conservative and Faith-based Voters: ‘Drop Dead’:

Once reelected, and often because of conservative and faith-based voters, those establishment Republicans and their leadership would stab those constituencies in the back as they cozied up to corporate America, lobbying firms, Big Tech, the mainstream media, and any special interests who might fund their campaigns or hire them once they left Congress.

Conservative patriots must make three admissions about overall Republican leadership:

• They lean liberal, such as their embrace of transgenderism.
• They don’t want to stand up and fight back.
• They are content being part of the UniParty.

In 2020, this was the national Republican party leadership:

• Mitch McConnell—Senate Minority Leader
• Kevin McCarthy—House Minority Leader
• Ronna McDaniel—Republican National Committee Chair

Now consider the proposed 2023 national Republican party leadership:

• Mitch McConnell—Senate Minority Leader
• Kevin McCarthy—Possibly House Speaker as his election is problematic given major GOP dissension
• Ronna McDaniel—Republican National Committee Chair

The same people doing the same things. Albert Einstein famously said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”

The Senate already voted for Mitch McConnell to be their leader, and shame on all those Republican senators who rewarded the swamp leader with another term.

With a razor-thin majority, House Republicans might have no choice but to elect Kevin McCarthy solely to make sure leadership remains Republican. This is yet another conservative “hold your nose and vote” because McCarthy swims in the same swamp as his Never Trump buddies, including former House Speaker Paul Ryan and pollster Frank Luntz.

That leaves the Republican National Committee chair. If you’re all for promoting non-conservative agendas (such as transgender lifestyles) and refusing to challenge election irregularities, Senator Mitt Romney’s niece McDaniel is your candidate for re-election. But if you want a chairperson with the fortitude and spine to push back at Marxist-leaning Democrat insanity, MyPillows founder Mike Lindell might be the better candidate.

Huh? The pillow guy?

Alternatively, find another bold, competent, and fearless America First champion ready, willing, and able to lead us to victory in 2024 and beyond. There is no time to waste after the less-than-sterling GOP success in 2022, and still git ‘r done bigly.

Well, we heard the same types of negative comments when Donald Trump rode down the escalator and diligently worked on behalf of the American people to Make America Great Again.

Never Trumpers freely toss the word “loser” around while pointing to President Trump. They should point those fingers at RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel:

2018 – GOP lost control of the U.S. House

2020 – GOP lost control of the White House and U.S. Senate.

2022 – GOP fell far short of expectations that she frequently sprouted during the campaign.

South Dakota’s Republican Governor Kristi Noem, speaking on Fox News in late November, said about McDaniel, “I don’t know if a party can continue to lose like we have and keep their jobs.”

What now?

Conservative patriots must get involved. Whatever you can do, do it. One person makes phone calls and sends emails, while another shows up at school board, city council, and supervisor meetings to give public comment. One person writes a donation, while another writes letters to the editor or CEOs. One person helps local candidates improve their name recognition, while another helps conservative college students grow awareness on campus. Every America First conservative can do something!

As the special Christmas season comes upon us in all its glory, what ails our magnificent republic will sadly still be here at the start of 2023. For the next few weeks, let’s celebrate the reason for the season (for Christians, the miraculous birth of Jesus Christ, and for Jews, the miracle of Hanukkah) and commit that, in the New Year, we will insist that Republican leadership advance conservative Judeo-Christian values or step aside for those who are willing to Make America Great Again…again.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!

 

Republican Warfare, Part II: Supply-Side Economics and Government Spending

November 10, 2022 by Dan Mitchell @ International Liberty  

(Editor's Note:  While Dan is a prolific writer and quite good at economics, but he's still a libertarian and I don't' always agree with his positions, especially involving immigration, and economic issues surrounding tariffs and sanctions.  I didn't publish Part I because I didn't agree with his Libertarian penchant for attacking Trumpian economics, as he does here to some extent, but, nonetheless, here's Part I for your perusal.  However, I published this piece because mostly I agree with this position, and,  I felt this fit in with my commentary, You Can't Handle the Truth: Part III.  RK)

As part of a recent discussion at the Adam Smith Institute in London, I explained why advocates of sensible taxation in the U.S. and U.K. need to be serious about controlling government spending.

At the risk of stating the obvious, it will be almost impossible to achieve better tax policy if the spending burden continues to increase and we enter an era of endless deficits and debt.

We presumably won’t get needed policy reforms from the Democratic Party (the era of JFK is long gone, and Bill Clinton’s moderate approach also is a distant memory).

 

But what about Republicans?

In part I of this series, I argued that Trump’s big-government populism was bad politics as well as bad policy.

But I was not arguing for establishment Republicans such as Bush or Romney.

Instead, I think the GOP needs to return to the era of Reagan-style libertarianism.

That means some things that Trumpies want, such as lower tax rates, but it also means genuine spending restraint. Which we didn’t get during the Trump years.

In part II, let’s contemplate whether this is a realistic hope, at least once we get past the Biden years.

If history is any guide, the answer is yes. Here’s another video, from more than 10 years ago, that shows the fiscal discipline the nation enjoyed under both Reagan and Clinton.

If you want more recent evidence, we also had a five-year spending freeze after the so-called Tea Party Republicans took power in 2010.

What about today? Can Republicans sober up and once again become fiscal hawks, morphing into good supply-siders who want better tax policy and spending restraint?

Or are they the bad supply-siders, meaning they spout rhetoric about tax cuts but don’t take the tough steps (such as entitlement reform) that are needed to make lower tax rates realistic?

I’ll close with a very depressing observation. The current fiscal situation is bad, but remember that things will get much worse because of demographic changes such as population aging.

Those who oppose entitlement reform necessarily are embracing huge tax increases and perpetual economic stagnation. Not to mention handing more power to Democrats.

There is no alternative.

 

The GOP Needs to Understand That the Corporations Are Its Enemy

Kurt Schlichter Apr 08, 2021

Old habits die hard, and now it’s time for the GOP’s habitual support of big business to die, and to die hard.

Look around – the corporations have decided it’s a great time to use their power against us. There used to be a kind of gentleman’s agreement – they stay out of our business and we stay out of theirs. But they broke that agreement. They decided to go all in. And it’s no coincidence that the political positions they have taken conform exactly to those of the Democrat Party. So, the hell with them.

This change has been coming for a while. We need to understand the nature of the old Republican/big business relationship to see what happened. The companies were never with us culturally – they wanted fewer regs, lower taxes, open borders, and docile workers. They didn’t care about social issues. They stayed out of it. But a few decades ago, when those icky evangelicals and others who actually worshiped something besides the almighty dollar showed up, the corporate types got restless. After all, it made for awkward convos at the country club when you were allied with the Jesus gun people from out there in Americaland. So, today, they have intervened in favor of our enemies, but they expect us to sit back and pretend it’s 1987.

Why did they go with the liberal establishment? Because that’s who the multinational bigwigs are, and always have been. It’s always about class, and the class these robber barons circulated within looks down on regular Americans. Hence the current virtue signaling, where you have airlines and shaving cream companies telling us we’re racist. It’s all about the execs making sure everyone knows whose side they are on, so the message to their brethren and sisteren and otherkin is, “Hey, we’re not like those people. Not at all.”..........Time to rethink our coalition..............To Read More....

 

Chaney vs. Green: Republican Leadership is, at the Best of Times, A Leaky Vessel

By Rich Kozlovich 

Over the last few days there’s been a lot of fury in the Congress over the actions of some of it's members. First we had many Republicans who were outraged at Rep. Liz Cheney for voting in support of impeaching former President Trump, a clearly unconstitutional action.  

The Congress has no authority to try anyone for anything, especially a former sitting President of the United States.  The Congress can only remove him from office.  If a former POTUS has committed a crime during his time in office or after, that is the responsibility of the executive branch. 

If ever there was a posted child for political nepotism, it's Liz Chaney.  Her family spent their lives in Washington, she has to know the Congress has no Constitution authority here, how can she not know it? Yet she jumps up and declares something we know to be absolutely untrue: 

“The president of the United States summoned this mob, assembled this mob, and lit the flame of this attack,” Cheney said in a statement. “Everything that followed was his doing. None of this would have happened without the president. The president could have immediately and forcefully intervened to stop the violence. He did not.”She added, “There never has been a greater betrayal by a president of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution.”

That's a flat out lie.  In no way did he encourage violence, and it was clear from the beginning that was untrue to any rational or reasonable person. So, we must, and I repeat, we must, conclude this isn't a matter of conscience.  It's politics!

Kevin McCarthy, Republican leader of the House declared in her defense she was a real conservative.  Really?  On what planet?  As a result of his defense she survived the vote against her, by secret ballot by the way.  The vote was 61 for outing and 145 members for keeping her in the number three position in the Republican House leadership.  A clear demonstration those 145 “unknown to the public” Republicans valued their position in the "swamp" more than they valued their oath of office.  

Kevin McCarthy, who seems to be talking out of both sides of his mouth, can be blamed for encouraging the Republicans to vote against the clear views of their constituents, and the constituents in her state. 

I'll tell you what. We'll come back to this.

"In politics there is no honor" . - Disraeli

Then there's the Democrat uproar over Marjorie Taylor Greene for things she's stated in the past that must be considered unwise at best.   But those were all said before she was elected to Congress, and clearly that's her right.  It's called free speech.  Free speech issues have nothing to do with wisdom.

In America we have the right to hold unpleasant views and state them, no matter how stupid they may be.  No one has to like them, but that's a separate issue.  But she implied violence in her views, including to Nancy Pelosi.  Clearly not very wise, but make no mistake about this:  It's not unique either.  

Politicians, already in office, and in the Congress, especially Democrats, have been over the top with this type of violent hyperbolic rhetoric. 

 

Federalist: Schumer Used Violent Rhetoric To Sic A Mob On Supreme Court Justices One year ago "Schumer incited a mob on the steps of the Supreme Court in order to bully justices to rule in Democrats' favor." “I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions,” Schumer threatened the two most recently confirmed justices, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh."

Is anyone demanding he step down from being Majority leader?

 Sen. Kamala Harris solicited funds to bail out the rioters who destroyed Minneapolis during 2020’s “Summer of Rage.” 

Is anyone demanding her impeachment?

"Rep. Maxine Waters called on Democrats to seek out Republicans in public places and “create a crowd” and “push back” on them to let them know “they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”  

Are the Democrats going to punish her? 

"The Bernie Sanders supporter who nearly killed House Republican Whip Steve Scalise at a baseball field in Virginia said he was motivated to kill for “health care” after Sanders and other Democrats had said the Republican health care plan was to kill many Americans. 

Who is demanding he be tried for murder or removed from the Senate?

Sen. Cory Booker told his supporters at one gathering in D.C. to “Please don’t just come here today and then go home. Go to the Hill today. Get up and, please, get up in the face of some congresspeople.”  

And did anyone insist Booker be censured by the Senate?

Are Bernie, Nancy, Chuck, Maxine, Harris, Pressley, or any other Democrat who've been supportive of this kind of rhetoric being ostracized for their inflammatory actions? No, No, No, No, and No!   Nor is there any condemnation for any the other leftist calls for violence against conservatives.

Why?  Because they're leftist, Democrats, and radicals in support of Democrats.  Consistency of thought and morality are alien qualities to the Democrat party.  If that's true, and it is, why is it acceptable for the Democrats to demand the Republicans punish Greene, saying if the Republicans don't do it they will?

• Hypocrisy At It's Finest: House Removes Rep Greene From Committees.

And naturally there has to be, as there always is, a logical fallacy thrown in to confuse the issue.  There were claims this created a moral conundrum for the Republicans.  Why.  The claim was if they acted against Chaney and didn't act against Green they were being hypocritical.  Wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve been following this Rep. Green/Rep. Chaney issue from the beginning and other than linking some posts I wasn’t going to weigh in on it but….well….I’m Serbian, and I have some thoughts. 

First of all…..and here it comes…..this whole thing is a logical fallacy. 

Green has said some loony things, and has some loony ideas, but those were all expressed before she was elected to office. Attacking her is an attack on the first amendment. Even if she did express them after being elected, she has rights, and shouldn’t be removed by the Republicans from anything. She violated no laws or rules of the House, and this wouldn't have been a conundrum for them if they had guts, which I will explain later on. 

Since the Democrats did remove her, then they need to be forced to be consistent and remove all the members of “The Squad” from their positions for the outrageous, racist and antisemitic things they’ve said "while in office", including promoting violence against conservatives, whites, Christians, Jews, Republicans and Trump administration personnel, and that would include Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters.

However, in the case of Liz Chaney vs Marjorie Taylor Greene, – here’s the logical fallacy - this has nothing to do with Chaney's right to say and do as she sees fit.  That is an inappropriate comparison.

She had every right to make the decision she did. However, as a party leader, she's supposed to be representing the views of her party.  In point of fact, she has failed her party as it's leader, and the party has every right, and should have, removed her from her leadership position.

Patricia McCarthy in her article, Liz Cheney's and the RINOs' betrayal, states: 

Liz Cheney's statement of support for this nonsensical and unconstitutional second impeachment was truly disgusting.  She certainly knows that President Trump did not "summon the mob, assemble the mob and light the flame."  Her hyperbole is laughable.  It is she who should be removed from her third-in-line position in the House, along with truly anti-American bigots like Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib.

In an attempt to obfuscate who and what she is you may choose to call her actions a matter of conscience, or whatever you please, but this is not a First Amendment issue with Chaney.  It’s an issue of betrayal and bad performance.   

With regard to the removal of Green and/or Chaney:  Removing one has nothing to do with removing the other.  In Chaney's case it's the same as having a recall election for bad performance in office.  Just because invertebrates like Mitch McConnell have shot their mouths of throwing Green under the bus doesn’t change the logic, or the facts, involving this situation.

The Democrat party leadership is filled with petty, hypocritical, vindictive demagogues who are intellectually and morally flawed people, but unlike the Republicans, they surround and defend their loons like an iron ring.  

The Republican party leadership is, at the best of times, an intellectually and morally flawed leaky vessel, who if they told me day was light and night was dark, I'd have to go outside and check for myself.  They surround their loons with iron pikes and stab them to death. 

This kind of invertebrate thinking and mentality isn't isolated to politics.  This is the real pandemic facing America because it's infected America's leadership.  Whether it's politics, commerce, industry or even trade associations.  And make no mistake about this.........it's far more deadly to our freedoms than any virus.

In defense of Marjorie Taylor Green's views, some anti-semetic:  Andrea Widberg in her article, North Carolina's Lt. Governor shows how to fight back against a corrupt media notes: 

When it comes to Robinson, as with Majorie Taylor Green's ill informed statements about Jews, it's important to recognize that neither she nor Robinson backs his statements with active malevolence.  Unlike the anti-Semitic Democrats in Congress, neither has shown hostility to the Jewish state (so far as I know), and both support American values.

As Sally Zelikovsky said, the answer is to educate, not destroy, those Republicans who need a new understanding of Jews and Judaism.  The fact is that we have almost no fighters in the Republican Party.  We shouldn't jettison the ones we have because they're flawed.  We should, instead, work with them to make them better.

Abraham Lincoln refused to fire U.S. Grant because, "He fights!" Why is that a lesson people keep needing to learn? You may wish to view my article, From an Outraged Citizen to Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina.

But one thing is clear.  The 'Crackdown' Only Begins with Marjorie Taylor Green:

The same "cancel" rhetoric used against the freshman from Georgia has been used against Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz, Doug Collins, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Tom Cotton, and even grandfatherly Mitch McConnell........

Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, Chuck Schumer, and Dick Durbin claim all Republicans are dangerous extremists when it serves their political purpose.....they depicted Paul Ryan murdering an elderly, wheelchair-bound woman to make a political point..... [and it's] not just elected officials who must be purged from society......... high-profile political players openly spoke of "reprogramming" Trump supporters.

They, as well as society as a whole, had better learn to embrace the fight, or go home and let those who understand what is necessary take their place.

It's a long but must read piece, if you really wish to understand why the elite hate Trump so badly, and why so much of what they say and what they're doing overall seems so insane.

Can the Republican Party Be Saved?

Ted Noel Jan 24, 2021

With the apparent defection of Mitch McConnell from the Trump camp, the Republican Party finds itself in a major identity crisis. Is it the older, reliably worthless Democrat Party of twenty years ago, or is it the party of Donald Trump? Does it go along to get along, or does it actually stand for something?

No organized body can continue to exist without a clear purpose that its members value. If I look at a knife-making forum on Facebook, it’s populated by people who either make knives or might want to make knives. Trump fan forums exist because they admire the man, his accomplishments, or what he stands for in America. Those groups all have a purpose.

Democrats have a clear purpose. They want power. This has been their long march. Whatever power they accumulate has only been a stepping stone to more power. There appear to be no obstacles in their way. The Democrats can see clearly now how they can consolidate their hold over our lives in perpetuity. Only the uncertain resolve of Joe Manchin to preserve the filibuster prevents them from running roughshod over us.

But what purpose does the Republican Party serve? If there is one, it’s very difficult to see. Being “not-Democrats” doesn’t mean anything. Republicans were “not-Democrats” when John Kennedy was president. His economics would be repudiated now by every elected Democrat and many so-called Republicans. When my wife used to ask if the Republicans would get a particular thing done, I used to answer her that they can’t because they didn’t have both houses of Congress. Now I know they couldn’t do anything because they were subsea invertebrates............ To Read More....

Will America Survive Her Attempted Suicide?

January 16, 2021 By Rich Logis

Now what, Republicans?  Our worthless opinions and romanticized delusions about democracy as a Grecian pursuit of Jeffersonian erudition won't save us.  It is Republicans who romanticize democracy, not Democrats.  Democrats romanticize outnumbering, overwhelming, and overtaking their opposition; their modus operandi isn't very different from that of Islamic supremacists or the Chinese.  To affirm just how pathetic the now extinct national GOP is, Republicans are placing their hopes and dreams with...Joe Manchin, senator from West Virginia.

We debunk ourselves, oblivious to our own self-irony.

The Problem

Republicans have to work much more to drive voter turnout than do Democrats.  This is because too many Republicans live in a world created by George Will, Willard Romney, and William Kristol, where democracy is an endeavor of Arthurian nobility, in which the finest traits of man manifest for all the world to see........... .

Republican Leaders Really Are Oblivious to the Obvious!

By Rich Kozlovich 

 

Some time back I published a piece I entitled, War's Not the Answer! Well Then, What's the Question? saying:  

At my age I've heard all the smarmy spin by the left there is, and I can still remember when the meme was, "War's not the answer." And of course they're right. That is of course if the issue involves who should put the top in the tooth paste tube. Or, who should cut the grass. Or, ..... well....you get the idea. 

But what if someone - let's call them barbarians - wants to have a war with you?  A real war?  The fact of the matter is war can be avoided on each and ever occasion it's presented.

Just surrender!

Does anyone besides me think that's just a little .... well.... stupid?  How about insane?  So that brings us to what is the question!  Here's the question being asked by the barbarians.

How can we destroy the American identity, the American culture, the American economy, overturn the Constitution and impose as socialist system to rule America controlling everyone's life, steal from the productive and reward the lazy and corrupt?

Apparently, for barbarians, war is the answer, and when there's a war between the barbarians and the wimps, the barbarians will win every time. 

Definition leads to clarity.  Clarity leads to understanding.   This post links a series of articles defining just how insidious this surrender mentality is within the invertebrate Republican leadership.  Invertebrate leadership Mitch McConnell exemplifies.

In the GOP Version of the Alamo, Nobody Dies Fighting By Charlie Eastman  December 25, 2020 

 

Weak-kneed Republicans who choose to wave the white flag instead of fighting to the last man to challenge the fraud that occurred in the 2020 election are committing political suicide. But they won’t.

 

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) took to the floor of the United States Senate last week to officially recognize Joe Biden as president-elect. McConnell was sending a message to his Republican colleagues: stand down, it is time to move on. 

As I watched McConnell congratulate Biden on his supposed victory, I thought of the scene in “Star Wars” when Obi-Wan Kenobi says, “I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror . . . ” Having witnessed firsthand the passion on display at President Trump’s rallies and boat parades, I knew how McConnell’s concession would antagonize Trump supporters. My notion was confirmed the following day, when multiple strangers aired their grievances to me on the streets of the Sunshine State.  

The first was a marble fabricator from Port St. Lucie, who told me he fled socialism abroad only to watch in horror as American Democrats embraced it. Next was a CVS cashier in Jupiter, followed by a fishmonger in North Palm Beach, a restaurant manager from Hobe Sound, a waitress in Ponte Vedra, and finally a gift shop owner and a hotel bellman in Jacksonville Beach.  ..........To Read More...

 

The Left’s War on America Is Just Getting Started By Matthew Boose  December 21, 2020

 

Trump supporters hear Biden’s platitudes, see his phony, cadaverous smile, and expect nothing but unremitting hostility. And they are right.   Joe Biden and his allies have condemned Donald Trump’s refusal to concede the election as an attack on democracy, the latest, most extreme violation of our most sacred “norms” by a tyrant and a party of traitors in his thrall.

The Supreme Court, lapsing momentarily out of a state of “illegitimacy” to which it had been corrupted by the appointment of a single conservative justice, made clear how low the Republican Party had sunk when it refused Trump’s Texas lawsuit. It’s clear then: Biden won,  and it’s time for the Trumpers to accept reality.

But all is not lost. In pious speech after pious speech, Biden is making his commitment to “healing” the country very clear. The vanquished will be treated with mercy, not hostility. There is still room in this country for all of us, liberal and conservative, Republican and Democrat, white and black...........The idea that runs through the Left’s behavior the last four years is simply this: Trump and his supporters are like a disease. They’re illegitimate, immoral, criminal, insane, racists who have no place in America.

Hey, GOP: This is Your Do or Die Moment By Brian C. Joondeph  December 31, 2020

Life seldom offers second chances. When opportunity knocks you can either answer the door or sit idly by as opportunity moves on to the next house, never to return. Opportunity is knocking on the doors of elected Republicans today. Will the door be answered? Do Republicans hear the knocking, or are their fingers in their ears, trying hard to not hear anything, reminiscent of Sergeant Schultz of Hogan’s Heroes?

President Trump is the door knocker. He started knocking in June 2015 when he rode down the Trump Tower escalator promising to Make America Great Again. Some in the GOP answered his call and stood firm to support Trump’s agenda and defend him against the Spygate coup. Others like Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney, John McCain, Jeff Flake, and others went out of their way to throw roadblocks in Trump’s path, and those still on the political scene continue nagging Trump to this day.

Republicans are oblivious to the obvious, that this is their last stand. It's do or die, sink or swim. The opportunity with orange hair and a Queen’s accent won’t be coming around again. In 2016, he easily dispatched the cream of the Republican crop, a gang of 16, all of whom would have lost badly to Hillary Clinton without him. Are there any heirs apparent? I don’t see any. It’s Trump or a long walk in the wilderness for the GOP.........To Read More....

Why the Defeatism?  By J. Robert Smith December 31, 2020

Millions of patriots have fight in them as the country confronts the greatest threat to the Republic since the Civil War.  Historic elections fraud, centered on the presidential contests, involving gross criminality make it so. 

Whereas many patriots are ready to fight to restore the rule of law and our liberties, others express gloom and defeat.  The fix is in, they claim.  Should Trump retain the White House, perhaps there’s a chance to stave off scheming globalists, ruthless leftists, and jaded establishment factions, though that comes with a steep price: national convulsions.  If Trump doesn’t secure a second term, then all is lost, they bemoan.  The powerful cabal that Biden fronts will run the board over 48 months.  A long, dark night will descend on America.   

Here’s a modest proposal: Wars aren’t over until they’re fought.  Assuredly, victories aren’t givens, but, most often, neither are defeats.  And it isn’t unheard of that the victors are underdogs.  So, if you consider Patriot America – better than half by my reckoning -- the underdog in this fight, don’t give up -- or as Sam Adams once enjoined, “Nil Desperandum.”

The Left Takes On God's Country  By David Prentice  December 31, 2020 

The Declaration of Independence conceived a nation.   Yes, it took the revolutionary war, a constitution, and a Bill of Rights to give us the birth of these United States.  A country that would shortly become the light of liberty, the great hope of the nations.  A country that has grown to be the most powerful country ever.   In economic power, in military might, in virtually every way, America has established its ability to call out the better angels of humanity. 

We stand at a time when the premise of our country’s greatness is being challenged.  Not with facts, history, or intelligent debate.  Because those would show the uncomfortable truth to those doing the challenging:  that we have been, and are, the greatest nation in the world.  We have God-given rights and freedoms bestowed upon our citizens in ways that had never occurred before.   We have achieved much.   Yes, we have flaws.   We’re human, but we’re better than anyplace else............. half the country or more knows the election was stolen.  And they know who did the stealing.  ............To Read More....

If enough senators challenge the election results, Trump wins  By Andrea Widburg  December 31, 2020

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) officially stated that he will object to the Electoral College vote count to be held in the Senate on January 6.  May this courageous man be the first of many senators to take a stand against the overwhelming evidence of election fraud.  If neither candidate wins enough Electoral College votes on January 6, Trump should win — and it's all in the Constitution without the need for any strained statutory interpretations.

Let me start with an overview of what happens on January 6.  It's crucial to appreciate how this can end if Hawley is joined by several senators who refuse to certify Electoral College votes achieved through manifest fraud.  I've culled this information from Petr Svab's excellent article at The Epoch Times (hat tip to Dan Bongino):.........To Read More....

Will Republicans Kill Democracy? By Daniel Gelernter December 20, 2020

 Whether it takes a year or 10 years or 100 years for the wheel of history to turn, the Republicans who chose “stability” over democracy will not be remembered kindly, if they are remembered at all.

Republicans are in the process of betraying the United States. Republicans who urge their colleagues not to object when counting the electoral votes, who parrot Joe Biden’s calls for unity, who urge the nation to accept and to move on: these Republicans have decided that nothing is worse than a constitutional crisis. Nothing is worse than turmoil—not even the end of freedom. They are choosing to support an unelected government rather than risk the chaos of leftists rioting in the streets. 

Perhaps, above all, they are choosing a world in which they can continue to rub shoulders at fancy social events in Washington, D.C.. Whether or not the people actually voted to send them there is unimportant. What is important is that they are important. ......To Read More....

Americans need to get their World War II fighting spirit back By Robert Arvay December 31, 2020

In the 1930s, when Japanese military forces attacked China with bullets and bombs, the local populace, for the most part, ran or hid in terror.  Theirs was a nation of warlords, not really a nation in the sense that we understand it.  There was not the kind of patriotic fervor that would motivate the average man to lay down his life for his country.  Let the next guy do it.

In the 1940s, when German Stukas dropped bombs on civilians in Belgium, the locals fled in terror, jamming the roads, along which their British rescuers were attempting to rescue them.  This (as it happens) was the purpose of the bombing.

Contrast all this to the bombing of Pearl Harbor.  In spite of it being a place of which many Americans had never heard, when they were told that hundreds of Americans had been killed, the national outrage filled the recruiting offices of all the military forces within hours..........To Read More.....
