Beijing Biden Inauguration Ratings LOWEST in History

Donald Trump’s inauguration ratings were the second-highest in 36 years, according to Nielsen. The swearing-in of Donald Trump was seen by 30.6 million viewers across 12 networks.
And remember, no one attends the inauguration, America was told to watch from home.

And this decrepit, perv segregationist got 80 million votes? By G-d, the Dem-Coms think we are dumb as bricks.

‘Folks, this is a time of testing.’

President Joe Biden’s inaugural speech was a sonorous snorefest, competent but not memorable.


To put Joe Biden’s inaugural address into perspective it might help to think back to Clinton’s or Eisenhower’s second, or Coolidge’s or James Buchanan’s first and only. But you can’t remember them and neither can I, because they were sonorous snorefests quickly forgotten and it didn’t matter. Except it did with Buchanan, who then watched the Civil War approach like a deer in the headlights.

America’s 15th president desperately needed to find inspiration and follow through and didn’t. Instead he churned out 2823 words of fatuous optimism that might offer an ominous parallel for Biden.

Arguably William Henry Harrison set the worst precedent, droning on bare-headed on a blustery March day until he caught pneumonia and died. And while people remember Kennedy’s inaugural it’s mostly for soaring rhetoric unsupported by sober planning and unmatched by real achievement.

By contrast they remember FDR’s first for offering inspiration as a prelude to a program that, while still controversial, was certainly dramatic. His famous “the only thing we have to fear is… fear itself” is debatable. But it resonates down through the years because had a unifying effect on a nation terrified of the Great Depression, and at a level far deeper than policy, where disagreements persisted.

Biden was free instead to drop rhetorical sludge down a historical well if he wanted, complete with pseudo-inspirational lines as hackneyed in conception as in delivery. Many presidents served with distinction without any quotable inaugural words, while others said fine things but did not achieve them, and still others mumbled through the inaugural then stumbled through the White House.

Still, the Inaugural on my mind before Biden spoke, and afterward in a different way, was Lincoln’s second.

Delivered at a time of appalling crisis even by the standards of American public life, it was poetic and profound. And while NBC may gush that “Inaugural poet Amanda Gorman steals the show” and claim “the nation’s youngest inaugural poet, captivated the nation with her poem, ‘The Hill We Climb’”, it actually showed how far our standards have fallen. It was a pedestrian speech, lacking metre or grace, of which nobody will ever remember or quote a single line.

If you want poetry, try FDR’s “the withered leaves of industrial enterprise lie on every side”. Or Lincoln’s “Both parties deprecated war, but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. And the war came.”

His famous 1865 oration was just 701 words long, shorter than an average newspaper column and deeper than most books. And containing such commendable modest frankness as “The progress of our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends, is as well known to the public as to myself, and it is, I trust, reasonably satisfactory and encouraging to all.” No bluster, hyperbole or vainglory.

Given that progress, he was not addressing the crisis of a war by then grinding toward a predictable Union victory. His eye was on the far more challenging crisis of reconciliation. As Biden’s presumably was.

Lincoln noted of the combatants: “Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other.” And added pointedly: “It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God’s assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men’s faces” but immediately continued “but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered. That of neither has been answered fully.”

Note the balance, depth, sympathy. Even when invoking the wrath of God. “If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove… He gives to both North and South this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came”.

Then he finds a note of uplift that is neither saccharine nor insincere: “Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman’s two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said ‘the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.’”

Such is the stuff of poetry, and prophecy. But what then is to be done? He immediately concluded with stunning brevity and clarity: “With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.”

Alas, Lincoln did not live to implement this vision. Instead the nation fell into the hands of men consumed by malice, on both sides of the Reconstruction debate, sowing the seeds of another century and more of turmoil and hatred.

As for Biden, he does not face a crisis comparable to the Civil War. At least I hope not. But he missed that note of malice toward none and charity for all and indeed did not seem to reach for it.

Did he even reread Lincoln’s words before delivering his own? He churned out cliches about unity, hope and America. But in his specifics he pointed the finger of blame one way only. He gloated.

I do not complain of his declared intent to pursue his program. And I acknowledge his ritual nod to the fact that in a democracy not everyone will agree. But he had to state frankly that the divisions in America run in both directions, acknowledge progressive as well as reactionary hatred and explicitly condemn violence from left as well as right.

It would also have been helpful graciously to acknowledge some of Trump’s achievements, for instance in the Middle East. But Biden is too narrow, ordinary and partisan. When he spoke of the victory of democracy, he meant not a peaceful election but his party’s triumph despite the villains opposite.

It may not matter. It was just a moment in time, as forgettable as many others, and if he governs well this boilerplate will be forgotten, as it will if he governs poorly. But had he risen to the occasion, the 46th president might have spoken words long remembered for starting the healing process.

If things go very wrong, it may be remembered instead that he did not try.

Communism: Amerika’s New Normal?

America’s exceptionalism, individualism, our patriotism, and they hate the mention of the treasured values which made America great. They want us to be a collectivist country governed by socialism rather than individual liberty.  Basically they hate America, Americans and everything we represent. They want us erased.


Why do the republicans let them get away with the abuse of power we are experiencing?  Mostly because republicans think they are immune to repercussions. Look how fast they ditched Trump and begged for forgiveness. They are basically spineless. Communists call patriots fascists. Do they even know what fascism means?  The merger of state and corporate power is technically defined by the word “fascism” which defines the Democrats to a tee.  Paid off by Tech and Wall Street, Democrats and Republicans sit on their hands unless demanded by Tech and Wall Street to write laws to screw the American people.

Republicans have been trained not to fight back.   They’re taught that confrontation does not lead to any good results.  Fighting and violence they feel brings more fighting and violence without good results.  The problem is, when you are fighting an enemy that only understands confrontation stepping back gives you a disadvantage instead of an advantage.   This is one reason why they despised President Trump.  Trump does not back down.  He has been the inspiration for millions to fight for what they believe, to fight for America and Americans.  Therefore are we going to back down? Is that going to be the new MO?  Not ever under any circumstances, is the only response.

The biggest problem to me is that we view the democrat/communist/globalists as sane and rational. We look at them and fight them as though they were like us. NOTHING can be further than the truth. We must look at them for who and what they are: democrat/communist/globalists who despise everything America stands for. We CAN NOT fight them as though they are sane and rational. Remember they are communists.  They have NO value for human life. Only the group is important and if you sacrifice enough people for the betterment of the group, so be it.  Remember what Komrad Nancy P said, “People will do what they do.”  Communists want the earth depopulated from its useless eaters.  That would be anyone who disagrees, is elderly, disabled or under working age of 10. You can not fight them using logic. It doesn’t work. You must fight with the same tool they use. Money and votes. Stop buying their stuff.

Can you live without another shirt from China? They hate you. STOP FEEDING them.  These corporations only stay in business because we buy their stuff. Facebook, Twitter just took a dive because patriots (the new domestic terrorist) moved their business. Vote with your wallet. Get your kids, grandkids out of government indoctrination centers aka schools. Start a “church” school like the old days when learning how to think was more important than being told what to think.  There is a reason why 47% of Americans are functionally illiterate ON PURPOSE.  After all dumb people require less from their government and ask less questions.

How do they get people to believe them?  They lie. We know communist have no truth except the truth they create at the time.  The truth changes to fit the situation. We all know we heard Joe Biden call what went on in the capital, domestic terrorism. So we need people to continue to resend pictures of what went on in our cities this past summer.

Ask where was Joe?  Joe calls DC domestic terrorism. What is he calling the summer riots? Peaceful Protests? We have to show the people we know what they’re doing.  We have to be smarter than them and we have to fight back and that’s what we’re going to do.

All of us we need to start addressing the lies and not let them stand. Be the annoying fly on the wall and constantly tell your legislator.  Make them accountable.

We know that communists love violence after all what’s another life, who cares.  They believe there are too many humans anyhow.  Communists follow a path called psychological projection which means they put their evil deeds on their opposition.  Why?  By blaming others first, when the infraction is new, they are able to say, what’s the big deal the GOP, Patriots etc. did it first.  They are normalizing the infraction.

Instead of us saying nothing which is what we do 95% of the time, we have to fight back and say, NO! That is not the truth. Take photos of everything you see as proof.  Send to  any accepting site or media outlet so that we can get the truth out.  Remember we are not alone. There are 75Million of us.

We know that they will now be blaming Trump for everything they can think of. They are scared. We must use their own words and videos when describing actions.   Show the pictures of the rioting and repeat their words.  My favorite was the commentator who described the fires as mostly peaceful.  You can have fun with that.  This is not to minimize any of the damage to hard working Americans.  Remember they are communists and despise the middle class.  The middle class represents thinkers, doers and all things in competition with communists.

Show footage the media ignores. Like Patriots trying to hold ANTIFA. This DC Riot was too organized to be spontaneous. I believe it was initiated by paid communist operatives. We may never know the whole truth for once Trump leaves so will any hope of accountability. We know they are going to blame us.   I listened to the speech. POTUS did not never once in his transcript of his speech said go riot.  This staged riot would have happened whether or not Trumpsters went to the capital because they could not let the evidence be seen.  Once in that safe room, I bet mega donors told the GOP vote for Joe or no more donations.

We have the right to peacefully assemble; everyone knows that. They do not have the right to riot but remember what I said, they are communists.  Chaos and violence thrives under communism.  I bet it will take only a few minutes where based on the riot, China Joe will call for gun bans. Eliminating the disclosing of massive amounts of evidence along with gun bans were the goal of the riots. We must fight this and NEVER GIVE UP OUR GUNS. Otherwise, mission accomplished.

We also know we have a group of people who are taught, triggered, and paid to be agitators  filled with hatred of anyone or anything opposing them.  They will do anything to make us look bad. The ends justify the means was their teaching. So snuffing out all competition, like the middle class, excites them to adding more fuel to the fire. Add that to psychological projection and you can see they are projecting what they are doing onto us.

When they project we must go on offence not defense.  We must demand evidence.  Whenever I ask where, show me the evidence, I get no response.  They repeat themselves and start yelling. Why? Because they have no evidence. But if no one points it out, no one knows.  This is just like the voter fraud.  I see nothing, I hear nothing so there is no evidence.

Is enough, enough?  Just imagine for one minute if we had a real government that had some social party differences but negotiated deals for a better life for Americans. Imagine under Pres. Trump the wealth we would have created, the freedom, liberty and happiness that would bring is the American dream.  A strong country is strongest when its people are strong. Trump understood that and was able to bring that message to the American people. For that he was hated.  It’s time.  It’s up to us we have to answer now.   We cannot let them continue the lies without answering back.  We cannot allow them to continue to call us liars.  We must call out projection.  We must not allow them to create their new normal which was previewed by the 2020 Summer of Love.

We have a lot to think about. Based on the communism of the past, American opposition to CCP and Big Tech will be empty words. They are vicious and cruel. Children and the underclass are their target. The ends justify the means. Winning is the only acceptable outcome.

Thank you President Trump. You showed us the way. You taught us to fight for our dreams. You helped us remember that a person’s actions and values are more important than their looks.  You helped us to Make America Great Again and we will fight to keep it that way.

America worth saving?

I will not comply, will you?

What if You Had Inauguration and Nobody Came? — Antifa chants, ‘F**k Joe Biden!’ “We Don’t Want Biden – We Want Revenge.”

The images from the inauguration of Joe Biden can be best described at pitiful, an embarrassment and ridiculous. No one showed up at his inauguration.

Click here for a meme of the Biden inauguration.

Biden begins his presidency under a cloud that he cannot survive. Biden has already signed dozens of executive orders undoing policies that are pro-American and pro-jobs. And he’s just getting started undoing everything that makes America great.

On the same day as Biden was sworn into office there was a huge crowd lining the streets greeting former President Trump as he drove to Mar-a-Lago. Watch:

Here are a few images to help you understand how bad it really was:

To make matters worse Antifa in Portland, Oregon was chanting F**k Joe Biden while marching to a federal building.

An “ungovernable” Antifa now controls the streets. Antifa’s new slogan “We Don’t Want Biden – We Want Revenge.” Watch:

Biden is already shown himself to be unpopular, un-like and not trusted. It’s going to be a very long 4 years of pain, suffering and agony.

PODCAST: Biden’s First 100 Days

Well, here we go, Day 1 of President Joe Biden’s 100 days. He made a lot of promises on the campaign trail in terms of what he would accomplish, but let’s see what he will deliver. In going over his promises, I have been able to compile the following list (in no particular order):

  • The president will begin by pushing to get his cabinet nominees and other appointments confirmed by the Senate as soon as possible. However, since the Democrats slowed the approval process of Trump appointments to a crawl, look for the Republicans to return the favor.
  • President Biden said the first thing he will do is order the immediate reversal of all executive orders signed by President Trump. This includes the plethora of orders Trump made to eliminate government red-tape over business. TRANSLATION: President Trump’s actions were intended to free business from the bureaucratic restrictions government imposed over business, thereby helping to stimulate the economy and bring companies and jobs back to our shores. By reversing course, President Biden will create a larger government and stifle both businesses and the economy. Watch the GDP begin to struggle when this is imposed and stocks slip.
  • As part of his rescinding of President Trump’s orders, President Biden will introduce an immigration bill to reverse Trump’s “cruel” immigration policies, including discontinuation of building the southern border wall, and allowing citizens from seven Muslim countries on the terrorist list into the country. He will also reinstate the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, and introduce legislation providing a pathway to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants. TRANSLATION: President Biden is opening the flood-gates of illegal immigrants into the country, thereby breeding another generation of Democrat voters. Unfortunately, this will also promote Sharia law in Islamic enclaves in the United States.
  • As another reversal of President Trump’s orders, President Biden will re-join the Paris Climate Agreement, something started by executive order by President Barrack Obama, without the approval of the Senate. In addition, he will convene a climate summit with the largest economies in the world. TRANSLATION: This will cost billions, if not trillions, of American tax money which will be diverted to countries with high pollution (including China?).
  • Another reversal will be made on President Trump’s orders on energy. Federal climate policies will change as well as tight fuel efficiency standards introduced. TRANSLATION: So much for America’s energy independence, thereby once again creating a dependency on foreign energy and military entanglements in far-off countries.
  • President Biden committed to administering more than 100 million COVID-19 shots early on. To do so, he will be requesting additional funding from the Congress to implement this effort as well as funding for states and municipalities to get all American students back to school. TRANSLATION: Maybe he can finally get the support to implement the Trump Vaccine that our former president couldn’t. As to schools, we’re only talking about those schools under Democrat authority. Everyone else has already returned to school.

Other items to bear watching, but not specifically included in the first 100 days:

President Biden’s problem is the Senate is still under the control of the Republicans, making it difficult to pass any legislation. Like his old boss, Barrack Obama, he will instead rely on executive orders to get things done. His reversal of President Trump’s orders will keep him occupied the first 100 days, but having legislation passed, that is another matter altogether. So, we are back to gridlock in the nation’s capitol.

In less than two years, the House is up for re-election. Do not be surprised if Republicans win it back, thereby further stifling Biden’s actions.

To me, all I see is our economy going nowhere, taxes increasing, and our freedoms threatened. I used to believe Obama was the worst president in my lifetime, closely followed by Carter, but now I am convinced Biden will eclipse the two of them, making them look like stars.

Fasten your safety belt, it is going to be a bumpy ride.

Keep the Faith!

The FBI Is Renting Billboards Around the Country To Promote Democrat Lies

FBI Billboards are everywhere. The corrupt FBI is advertising across the nation on billboards requesting information on individuals who attended the Capitol protests on January 6th. By doing so they promote the lie that Trump and his supporters are violent.

The FBI is so corrupt now it really needs to be shut down and rebuilt from the bottom up. The individuals leading this agency are not honest and often participate in criminal acts themselves (see Mueller Russia Collusion sham). So it is no surprise that this corrupt agency is advertising on billboards across the country insinuating the Capital protests a few weeks ago the most egregious act since 9-11. They do this by advertising the event. Something we have never seen before from this corrupt agency.

The Capitol Riot And The Reichstag Fire: American Leftists And Nazis

The history of the Reichstag fire and how it was used by the early German Nazis to crack down on their primary political opponents, German Communists, is eerily illustrative of the Capitol riot and following days.

The Reichstag was the building in which the German Diet, it’s parliament or Congress at the time, met before World War II. It was the Capitol building equivalent.

In 1933, as the Nazis were trying to consolidate their power, a fire destroyed a large part of the building. It was just the work of a handful of provocateurs, or possibly just one Dutchman. But the Nazis seized the opportunity and immediately began suspending civil liberties and cracking down on the German Communists.

The Reichstag fire and crackdown on political opponents was just weeks after Adolf Hitler won election as Chancellor of Germany. The Capitol riot and crackdown on political opponents was just weeks after Democrats won elections controlling Washington.

The Nazis did not crack down on the Communists in response to the fire. They had been wanting to eliminate the Communist voices for a while and they seized the Reichstag fire as the opportunity to do it.

As Wikipedia rightly explains: “The Nazi Party used the fire as a pretext to claim that communists were plotting against the German government, which made the fire pivotal in the establishment of Nazi Germany.”

FYI, turned out that the Nazi claim that the Communists were plotting against the German government was a lie. But truth doesn’t matter when an opportunity presents itself. This maxim was explained by Barack Obama’s Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel, who, during the Great Recession in 2008, said,

“You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.”

The American left in the media and Silicon tech oligarchs have been wanting to silence conservatives and Trump supporters for years now. They had slowly been banning the right from media platforms. There are very few token conservatives in mainstream news pages, and virtually no Trump supporters among hundreds and hundreds of opinionators. Monolithic. Social media had been de-platforming the outside edges of the movement and shadowbanning many who are in the mainstream of the right. It was a slow strangle.

But the Capitol riots presented the Reichstag opportunity to go for the jugular, starting with the stunning cutting off of the President of the United States from directly communicating with Americans, followed by deleting dozens of right-wing accounts and culminating with the complete take down of Parler. There is no way to believe this was not coordinated among the tech oligarchs who had to know they would be free to do so with Democrats in control now.

The speed and coordination of this silencing by the American left would have been appreciated by the Nazis, though of course they would have gone further with violence.

In a short time after the Reichstag, the Communists were destroyed as a Nazi political opponent — killed, imprisoned or fleeing. Few on the American left advocate violence at this point, but silencing political opposition has been a necessary step of every authoritarian takeover.

The authoritarianism of the American left is on full marching display. Anyone who cannot see it simply does not want to, or is part of it. The left crushes dissent on religion, Trump support, election questioning, mis-gendering, support for Israel, immigration, and so on. They want to control and limit Americans’ most basic freedoms, and it appears they now have the means to.

When Germany, France, Norway, Australia, Mexico and the Russian opposition all condemn the social media silencing of the United States President and worry about their own free speech violating the whims of Silicon tech oligarchs, you know American Democrats are out of touch with basic American liberties. The deadly wrong side of history.

Those who are merely concerned about this moment, are not awake. If you are not angry and frightened, you are not awake. As the good German who was not a Nazi but looked away as things devolved, and the good Russian who was not a Stalinist, but looked the other way, there are too many good Americans looking the other way.

History will repeat itself in some fashion if we don’t see this dire threat. It already is under way.

Lying TRAITOR Mitch McConnell says Capitol rioters ‘were provoked by the president’

How do we get punished with “leadership” who are in league with our worst enemies?

WTF is wrong with GOP?

Mitch McConnell says Capitol rioters ‘were provoked by the president’

Mitch McConnell says Capitol rioters ‘were provoked by the president’ Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday said the Jan. 6 Capitol rioters were “provoked” by President Trump “and other powerful people” to try to stop certification of his election defeat.

In a Senate floor speech, McConnell (R-Ky.) said, “The last time the Senate convened, we had just reclaimed the Capitol from violent criminals … the mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people. And they tried to use fear and violence to stop a specific proceeding … but we pressed on.”

McConnell’s wife, former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, was the first member of Trump’s cabinet to resign over the riot, which followed a speech by Trump near the White House in which he urged thousands of supporters to “fight like hell” to persuade lawmakers to overturn Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory.

McConnell, who will be the most powerful Republican in Washington when Trump departs office Wednesday at noon, has said he’s undecided on whether to convict Trump in a looming impeachment trial over the riot.

McConnell will relinquish his majority leader position to Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Wednesday, but will retain the power to block legislation and impede Biden’s nominees due to Senate rules.

Trump was impeached by the House last week for allegedly inciting an insurrection. If he’s convicted in the Senate, he could be banned from holding federal office again. At least 17 Republican votes are needed to convict — a steep climb. In the House, 10 Republicans broke ranks and voted to impeach Trump.

Vincent James O’Connor Banned From DLive

It isn’t easy to monitor everything Vincent James O’Connor has ever said or written online. Since 2015 he has been a prolific creator of online content, with an output that includes three hour live video segments, streamed multiple times each week.

So maybe Vincent James O’Connor has said something absolutely horrible, something so vile that even those of us who defend his right to free speech would be hesitant to defend him. That’s not likely, though, because despite being on the predictable leftist hit lists for years, YouTube didn’t kick him off their platform until a few months ago. He discussed all of this on a video he recently posted to BitChute.

Demonetized by YouTube along with Steven Crowder and dozens of others in June 2019, O’Connor started placing 3rd party ads on his own. It wasn’t until August of 2020 that YouTube cancelled O’Connor’s “Red Elephants” channel altogether. No strikes. No warning. No reason provided.

Meanwhile, O’Connor had begun streaming on DLive, a relatively new platform that welcomed everyone. Five days a week, three hours per day, for nearly a year, O’Connor was broadcasting on DLive, putting in the same volume of work as major talk radio hosts. And by doing this, this man whose political opinions have made him unemployable in most professions was able support his family.

But no more. All too aware of what happened to Parler, shortly after the events of January 6, management at DLive banned O’Connor from their platform. The people banned along with O’Connor had some of the biggest audiences on DLive, including Nick Fuentes, Patrick Casey, Ethan Ralph, Patrick , Steve Franzen, Salty Cracker, Jake Lloyd, and many others.

Coping with being thrown off two platforms where he’d placed his biggest bets, O’Connor has now made his primary home a new platform Trovo.live/VincentJames. For financial support Vincent James O’Connor’s Red Elephants relies on viewers going either to SubscribeStar or using Bitcoin. He cannot be supported via CashApp, PayPal, Venmo, GooglePay, or Apple Pay, because they’ve all banned him. For that matter, O’Connor has also been banned by Airbnb, Uber, Uber Eats, Vrbo and others.

There are at least two things signified by what’s happened to O’Connor. First, if you become a target of the left and the censors, they won’t stop at pushing you off platforms. Your banishment will extend to a full spectrum of online services including payment processors, transportation, and lodging.

Second, and more generally, the censorship in America has advanced beyond silencing individual voices like Vincent James O’Connor, and has now moved to silencing entire platforms. Parler is gone and may or may not come back. DLive has been kneecapped. Telegram is coming under siege, and not surprising at all, a front in this battle is Apple, which is being sued by someone alleging “emotional distress” based on Telegram’s presence in Apple’s App Store. And Gab, not dependent on 3rd party servers, is overwhelmed with traffic and faces a tough challenge: How will they make enough money to expand, if every bank, major hosting vendor or ISP, and possibly even ICANN is determined to see them fail. How will any of them?

If Vincent James O’Connor has said anything, ever, to justify this sort of censorship, then YouTube ought to be willing to provide the evidence. The same goes for every single case of censorship. The Left in the United States, backed up by a frightening array of corporate and federal power, has nearly succeeded is eliminating not “hate speech,” but speech they hate. This must stop.

JANUARY 20, 2021: A Date Which Will Live In Infamy

When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941 President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in a speech before a joint session of Congress, stated,

YESTERDAY, December 7, 1941 a date which will live in infamy the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.

Wednesday, January 20, 2021 will go down in history as another date that will live in infamy.

President-elect Donald J. Trump said the following at his inauguration:

Today’s ceremony, however, has very special meaning. Because today we are not merely transferring power from one Administration to another, or from one party to another – but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the American People.

For too long, a small group in our nation’s Capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost.

Washington flourished – but the people did not share in its wealth.

Politicians prospered – but the jobs left, and the factories closed.

The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country.

Their victories have not been your victories; their triumphs have not been your triumphs; and while they celebrated in our nation’s Capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land.

That all changes – starting right here, and right now, because this moment is your moment: it belongs to you.

On January 20, 2021 the power will be taken away from the American people and returned back to Washington, D.C. This is why this date will live in infamy.

The Attack on America and Americans

Pearl Harbor was a well planned and coordinated military attack. January 20th, 2021 there will be a planned and coordinated political, cultural and corporate attack against those who support liberty, freedom, the sanctity of life, the sanctity of marriage and the U.S. Constitution.

Under this onslaught by Biden and the Democrat Party the enemy is not only the America but God. We have seen conservatives attacked, beaten, killed, fired from their jobs, imprisoned and banned from social media and demonized.

But much worse is the attacks on synagogues and churches.

Attacking God

Election Forum in a column titled “Churches Across America Are Having Their Twitter, Facebook and YouTube Censored” reports:

Across America, pastors and Christian organizations that do not compromise on speaking the truth are being censored.

With the end of the election and the control of the Senate by the pro-Socialist Democrats, the entire anti-Christian, pro-Socialist activists are increasing pressure to censor free speech and stop communication that is a threat.

And they are being very successful.

One of the safe havens that has been taken down is Parler, a competitor of Twitter.

Attacking God is beyond the pale.

Conclusion

We predict that there will be a rapid and ruthless attack against those who do not submit to the mandates of Biden, the Democrat Party and the bureaucrats of Washington, D.C.

They are in power and empowered. Democrats now control the White House, both Houses of Congress and the Swamp.

There will be immediate efforts to transfer power to Washington, D.C. We can see it as barbed wire is placed in our nation’s capital. Why? To show those who don’t kneel that the power and even our military will be used to suppress We The People.

The three C’s of this coup will be:

  1. Covid – expect draconian policies to be implemented in the name of this pandemic.
  2. Crises – expect more crises to further demonize and even label those who supported Trump as terrorists.
  3. Control – expect more and more control as the power quickly shifts from the people back to the Swamp.

Today nearly two-thirds of Americans say our country is headed in the wrong direction. The problem is that Biden, the Democrats and the Swamp don’t care. For you see the Democrats now have total control of who counts that ballots. Therefore, they don’t care how you vote, because it won’t matter.

The Democrats will continue to cheat and steal. That is their way now.

Smoke Signal For ‘RIGGED ELECTION!’ Seen Rising From White House Lawn

U.S.—With Trump cut off from his primary means of communication on Twitter, he has been forced to find creative ways to communicate with his supporters. Yesterday, people in D.C. reported seeing a column of black smoke rising from the white house lawn in a distinctive Morse code pattern. The pattern was later translated to mean “RIGGED ELECTION!”

“Trump is a man of the people, and nothing will stop him from talking to them,” said Press Secretary Kayleigh Mcenany in a statement written on a paper towel with a marker and delivered via carrier pigeon. “He continues to believe this election was unfair and will continue to bring that message to th—” The message ended abruptly, seemingly because the Press Secretary had run out of space on the paper towel.

Elders from the Cherokee Nation forcefully condemned Trump’s communication method as an egregious act of cultural appropriation. National Guard troops were then dispatched to confiscate Trump’s firewood and wet horse blanket and silence the President once again.

Not to be deterred, Trump has announced he will be hiring thousands of town criers to walk through towns across America shouting “RIGGED ELECTION!”

Beware of False Prophets in Sheep’s Clothing

“You can believe in whatsoever you like, but the truth remains the truth, no matter how sweet the lie may taste.” – Michael Bassey Johnson

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” – Matthew 7:15

“To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.” –  Voltaire

“Moral principles do not depend on a majority vote. Wrong is wrong, even if everybody is wrong. Right is right, even if nobody is right.” – Bishop Fulton J. Sheen


President Trump loves America and he loves her people.  He knows he won the 2020 election, and certainly he knows that if he leaves office and allows Biden/Harris to become the new “presidents,” that everything he’s accomplished in four years will be overturned.  I simply cannot see him doing that when he knows he was cheated out of a landslide election.  Yet, he’s been through four years of hell by the enemies of freedom, both the Democrat Marxists and the neo-con Trotskyite Republicans.  Will our great warrior leave the ring, or will he continue?  We don’t know.

Foreign Interference

The Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, has just come out with more information about election interference.  Expected in December, the assessment was delayed as senior intelligence officials clashed over the role played by China, and as director of national intelligence, John Ratcliffe sought to include more viewpoints in the final analysis.

DJHJ Media reports, “The long-awaited report on foreign interference in the 2020 Presidential election from DNI Director Ratcliffe was delivered to Congress on Thursday, one day before President Donald J. Trump was denied access to using numerous social media outlets. A source admitted that the report was held back so Trump could not tell the American people or their representatives about the foreign influence on the election before they counted the electoral votes on Wednesday.”

This is typical of our intelligence community, is it not?  The hatred for this great president has been unparalleled.

If President Trump is leaving office on January 20th, why is he still working as though he’ll have a second term?

Trump’s Decisive Actions

A friend of mine mentioned Trump’s recent actions:

  • Why bother declassifying evidence of foreign election interference on January 7th?
  • Why place Cuba on the Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) on January 10th?
  • Why revoke $120 billion of Huawei licenses on January 17th?
  • Why move Israel to United States Central Command (Centcom) under General McKenzie (out of United States European Command and United States Central Command (EUCOM) under General Tod D. Wolters) when you’re leaving office?

All of the above, except the first item, can be revoked on Day 1 of a new administration.  Why would Trump continue to work so hard if he is done?
Is this whole thing a charade?  Is he leaving to protect those close to him?  Has he engaged the loyal military – sub rosa – to act while he’s out of harm’s way?

My friend is right, these are reasonable questions to ask…and independent media is reporting that the President sent his family out of the White House and to a safe place on the eve of the 17th.

And here’s more…CNN reported on Sunday that the National Security Agency (NSA) is installing Trump loyalists as general counsel.  The NSA said that it was installing  former GOP operative and Trump loyalist, Michael Ellis, as the top NSA lawyer.  Pelosi is going bonkers. Ellis accepted this job offer and his new roll will start on Tuesday…so if Biden is in control on Wednesday, Ellis will surely be immediately fired.

NSA Director Paul Nakasone is allegedly one of the “White Hats,” and Chris Miller, who I really don’t fully trust, is in charge of the Department of Defense.  Why did Chris Miller, who allegedly can’t wait to leave his job, order Ellis into the NSA quickly?  Things don’t add up if Trump is leaving office on Wednesday.

Georgia Attorney L. Lin Wood said, “Every lie will be revealed.”  He openly stated that 75% of the people elected Donald Trump in a landslide.  Neither Lin Wood nor Mike Adams of the Health Ranger Report believe that Trump can come this far and quit on us.  I love Lin Wood, I believe he’s a great man of God, and I believe he tells us the truth. As for Mike Adams, I’ve always thought of him as a sensationalist, but perhaps in the last few months he’s searched for sincere truth…we’ll see.  He has promoted lunatics who are total liars and therein lies the problem.  But watch his latest video and decide for yourselves.

The Frauds

Prophets have forecast that Trump would win the 2020 election.  Well, he did, but the fraud perpetrated by the Democrat communists and their friends have snaked their way into stealing the “one man, one vote” American election from Donald Trump via their Dominion machines, the Smartmatic software, and the internet connections to foreign communist countries, including Russia, Serbia, Germany, Iran, Italy and our worst enemy, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

Americans who love this country have listened to frauds who are anathema to the truth, and they’ve believed them and forwarded their statements to our inboxes where they are filled with lies from false prophets and frauds claiming intel that has no basis in truth.  Too many false prophets have been lifted on high by folks are grasping at straws and want to believe Trump will save the Republic.  He may truly do that, but not through the false claims of men and women who believe they have a word from God.

Over five dozen emails by Charlie Ward, Janet Ossebaard, Robert Steele, and Simon Parkes have appeared in my inbox.  All of them proclaiming that the Insurrection Act has been signed by President Trump and a counter revolution is brewing to save the Republic.  Nothing these people have said is true.

The Capitol Hill riot on Jan. 6th where Antifa and BLM posed as Trump supporters undoubtedly at the behest of her highness Pelosi who allegedly told the Capitol Hill police to let them in, and Trump’s apparent concession speech the following day has caused these lunatics to become a YouTube phenomenon. These people and their compatriots have been promoting false truths and false hopes to Trump supporters who cannot believe Trump will allow America to fall into the hands of the Chinese loving American communists.

I have a hard time believing Trump will allow this as well, but I don’t listen to people who haven’t valid sources, neither do they have valid curriculum vitae nor documented legal or governmental status.  They are buffoons lying to the people who are praying the country will be saved from a communist takeover.

Let’s look at a few of them…

Simon Parkes, Charlie Ward, and David Steele

Simon Parkes has told disappointed Trump supporters that he is in direct contact with “Q,” who is supposedly a leading pro-Trump figure who has direct intel access.  Parkes is the shadowy figure supposedly leading a pro-Trump conspiracy to unseat corrupt and evil forces in Washington, D.C., and that there will be a great counter-revolution and legal disclosure in the next few days that will end with Trump being installed for a second term as president.  He has claimed the president signed the Insurrection Act… a blatant lie.

Parkes states on his website that his mother is a nine-foot green monster, that he’s had sex with an extraterrestrial alien and has an offspring with same and that he has sex with this alien four times a year and his wife is not happy.  Uh-huh!  And people are listening to this lunatic.

Unfortunately, Mike Adams believes these people and he needs to dump them, they are false friends and have no truth to impart to the people. Their goal is the money they make when you click on their deceptive tales of truth.

In the last few weeks of checking on Parkes, he has changed his website, and has also changed the “about” portion as well.

Dr. Charlie Ward is as sensationalist and as off the rails as is Parkes…both are Brits.  I have to wonder how much money they are making with their false documentaries and promises.

Robert David Steele is a blatant anti-Semite and I have no use for him whatsoever.  When you try to check his bio, his military service, or his education, you come up with nothing.   He’s either a very thorough fraud, or he’s legit and just completely off his rocker.  He is also tight with former Democrat Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney and has written an article with her.

These people are frauds.

Conclusion

Patriotic Americans hope and pray that we will be saved from an onslaught of never ending communism via the fraudulent and treasonous election of Biden/Harris.

For four years, our president has endured the attacks by the enemies of freedom.  He has risen above the charges, been found innocent of every one of them, and he has fought for our country and her people.

General Michael T. Flynn has also suffered for four years against a harsh and evil entity who wished to silence the man who knew the evil who came against him and well could have exposed it.  Deep State entities surrounding our president facilitated the expulsion of this brilliant man who spent 33 years serving his country.

Sidney Powell has worked tirelessly and without full compensation to save General Flynn and America from the same enemies who wish to destroy her and the patriots who love her.

L. Lin Wood preaches not only Bible truth, but truth regarding those who are the very enemies of our country. He knows them all.

The aforementioned people love America and love the Lord God Almighty.  Each of them has labored in their own way to save our beloved country from destruction.  God has had His Hand on each of them.

It is up to us, the American people who love freedom and liberty, given to us by men who pledged their lives and property for America, to take a stand against the evil pervading our country.  It must be done now.

PODCAST: Trying To Kick Trump Under The Bus

Kcking him under the bus, the reality is they are not kidding anyone but themselves. While these shenanigans go on, the country has stalled and the affairs of the nation are not being addressed, except by President Trump in his final days. That is a fact.

In terms of the president’s second impeachment, this is getting little notice by the American public as they know this is nothing but a political charade, even among grass-root Democrats. Many are asking why they are even bothering with this as his term is rapidly coming to an end. Let me see if I can explain.

Following the “Stop the Steal” protest of January 6th, where some people broke into Congress under suspicious circumstances (perhaps because they were not Trump supporters at all), Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) used this as an excuse to bring impeachment charges against President Trump for the second time, allegedly for inciting insurrection. Normally this would go to the Judiciary Committee first for discussion and vote before coming to the floor of the House, but not this time as it is being rushed at the 11th hour.

Prior to the protest, the President addressed his supporters. There is nothing in his speech to suggest he incited anything. Click for AUDIO/VIDEO or for the TRANSCRIPT.

There were only three comments that apply here:

  1. “We soon will be marching over to the Capitol to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”
  2. “Today you will be marching to the Capitol to cheer on those brave senators and congressmen and women to do the right thing.”
  3. “We are going to the Capitol to give our Republicans the kind of pride and boldness they need to take our country back.”

Other than that, the speech mostly detailed a long list of his administration’s accomplishments and then detailed the many examples of election fraud in the large cities of the battleground states, followed by his proposals for election reform. In other words, the speech was perfectly acceptable. It is hard to imagine how the Congress will try to misrepresent his words. Nonetheless, the Democrats and News Media have blown this out of proportion intentionally as they see it as a way to seek revenge against a president they couldn’t control or manipulate.

All of this is nothing more than a way to get back at someone who wouldn’t cow-tow to the Washington establishment (aka, “The Swamp”). Congress may claim outrage over the incident, but the reality is they are jealous President Trump retains a loyal following, and are still afraid of him. As such, the impeachment has two objectives: first, to kick the president under the bus in the hope he doesn’t run for a second term, and; second, to take note of the GOP senators and house members who voted against impeachment and use this as a mark of disgrace in the next election.

Whereas President Trump wanted to run the office of the president like a business, the Washington culture is one of scratching each other’s backs for financial gain, an incestuous relationship between politicians, lobbyists and journalists. Even Republicans on Capitol Hill showed their true colors by back-peddling on their support for the president. This has not gone unnoticed by grass-root Republicans who are mortified by the weakness of the GOP. So much so, the Republican party is now in a damage-control mode of operation. To illustrate, here in my home county in Florida, hundreds of people have already changed their party affiliation, from Republican to Independent, with many more likely to occur. This is how disgusted people are with their spineless Republican politicians. Had the November elections happened now, Republican politicians would likely find themselves out on the street. That is how serious it has become, while people gravitate to new political groups.

The Democrats on Capitol Hill would have us believe Trump supporters no longer support the rule of law and, as such, must be suppressed for the safety of the country. The reality is, there are no stronger advocates of law and order than Trump supporters. This too is a fact, yet the Democrats are painting a picture of their threat to society. Forget about the Democrat-backed support of Antifa and BLM, who burned and killed people and businesses this past “Summer of Hate.” To Democrats, this is a perfectly acceptable form of conduct. They think they can immobilize the Trump people by doing such things as introducing legislation to prohibit Trump rallies, and clamp down on their ability to communicate.

The Congressional break-in became a convenient excuse by social media companies to censor opponents of Democrats, specifically conservative groups and individuals who suddenly disappeared from their platforms like a Mafia hit. Even Parler, a free-speech social network, was given the heave-ho by Amazon. Twitter permanently suspended President Trump’s account and a horde of his supporters terminated their membership, including yours truly.

This suppression of free-speech by social media is scary as, inevitably, talk radio will be next and conservatives will be without an effective channel of communications. So much for the First Amendment.

This brings up a point, the “cancel culture” of this country is reaching new levels. I admit to tuning out the major television networks and cable news outlets as they have lost credibility with me. I simply do not trust them and see them as instruments of the far-left. Nor will I watch movies by such actors as Robert DeNiro, Tom Hanks, or George Clooney. They have politicized themselves to the point I cannot bring myself to watch them or pay to see their movies. And, Yes, I have cancelled newspapers I believe spout nothing but “Fake News.” The point is, the growing “cancel culture” is producing two Americas with allegiances that are diametrically opposed to each other and heightening tensions. This cannot possibly end well.

Yes, the call for impeachment is being done more for political histrionics than anything else. It is also very duplicitous (deceitful/treacherous). So much so, it makes me wonder who is really calling the shots for the Democrats. After all, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are not smart enough to engineer such a scenario, they are just following orders.

Even Joe Biden called the “Stop the Steel” protesters as “domestic terrorists,”; to wit, “They were a riotous mob, insurrectionists, domestic terrorists. It’s that basic,” Come on Joe, take your medicine and sit in the corner. Why didn’t you use this language when Antifa and BLM ran amok this past summer President-elect Unity? What a hypocrite.

As Pelosi pushes this forward, I hope the president has her arrested and charged with treason for trying to get the Joint Chiefs to change Trump’s nuclear codes. This is an overt attempt to disrupt the chain of command in order to overthrow the government.

Nobody believes the January 6th “Stop the Steel” protest was a legitimate act of insurrection, but they are blowing it out of proportion to run President Trump and his supporters out of town so they can resume their incestuous love affair.

Unfortunately, it will not work. Trump supporters will simply re-group and take back the Capitol by use of the ballot box. This may or may not include Republicans. Actually we are long overdue for a cleanup of the nation’s capitol altogether. Now is the time for election reform to eliminate these career politicians. Since the Congress will not do it, it is time for a Constitutional Convention.

One last note about the Democrats impeaching President Trump for a second time; they can impeach him as many times as they want, but historians will record this as nothing but political retribution. As much as the Democrats want to portray it as a badge of shame, it is back-firing on them and now being viewed as a badge of honor he received for standing up to the establishment. It will also diminish the concept of impeachment which will hurt them in the next congressional election, which is now less than two years away. Now the next question will be, will the Republicans have the nerve to impeach Joe Biden?

BTW, need a new social network for conservatives? Try MeWe and CODIAS. I’ll see you there.

Keep the Faith!

American Thinker Disables Comments Section

Ultimately what the establishment fears is open forums that lead to shifts in what is “acceptable political discourse.”


Reading comments on websites is kind of like watching fringe channels that traffic in conspiracy theories. There’s a lot to wade through that is at best a waste of time, but if you persevere you will eventually find information of great interest that cannot be found anywhere else.

If you want to control what people see and what people learn, that is a threat. Comments must go.

This is why back in June 2020 The Federalist was forced to disable its comments section in order to keep Google ads. At the same time, Google banned ZeroHedge outright, taking away their ad revenue, alleging “racist” comments on the website. The following month, Yahoo News “temporarily” disabled its comments section.

Each of these incidents had one thing in common: comments posted introduced readers to information that was inconvenient. In Yahoo’s case, comments leaned conservative, and almost always exposed the article’s lies, omissions, distortions, and bias. Six months later, Yahoo’s temporary ban is still in force.

Now another right-of-center online source of news and analysis, American Thinker, has also disabled its comments section. In a post on January 14, the editor wrote: “It is news to almost nobody who reads American Thinker that a political witch hunt is underway. Parties in and out of government are looking for excuses to suppress and destroy voices that oppose the left. Because AT lacks the ability to monitor comments in real time, and because our position that comments are a forum, not something we publish, is being called into question, we can no longer publish comments.”

It is true that comments are often offensive. But how the tech companies that enable hosting and ad revenue choose which websites to intimidate is selective, either driven by leftwing bias within companies like Google and Amazon, or driven by complaint mobs that the Left is very good at organizing and targeting. If you have any doubt that enforcement is selective, just read the comments on DailyKos articles. For that matter, read the comments on Washington Post articles. They don’t hold back. They don’t get banned, either.

Ultimately what the establishment fears is open forums that lead to shifts in what is “acceptable political discourse.” An article published in July 2019 by the BBC made the establishment position embarrassingly plain on the threat represented by right-of-center narratives, writing that “The more mainstream these narratives become, the greater the tension will be over whether they really are extreme or whether they represent acceptable political discourse, and the views of a substantial number of real people.

Comments on websites, like posts and videos, are protected speech. Just as platforms where people add posts and videos enjoy Section 230 immunity from liability for the content of those posts and videos, the website forums where comments are made are entitled to the same immunity. Unfortunately, big tech and their mobs of online warriors are seeing to it these forums are shut down anyway, one by one.

This is yet another front in the battle to preserve online free speech. Perhaps at the least, the Right needs to organize its own complaint mobs!
