With This Obstacle in Place, Republicans Can't Get the White House

 American Thinker

The two states where the impact was most obvious were Pennsylvania and Michigan, but it snuffed out real Republican chances all over the map in states where the Democrats control voting laws.  Pennsylvania literally elected a dead man, and I'm not even talking about the pro-crime radical with such severe brain damage that he can't form a coherent sentence.  ...Republicans used to joke about needing to win above the margin of fraud, which was generally accepted to be relatively small.  But now that Democrats can flood the zone with ballots that they can collect over the course of weeks, that is now far too steep a hill to climb in all but the reddest areas.  ......Democrat officials mail out massive numbers of ballots to people who would never bother to vote, and their operatives collect those ballots and run up the score.  It effectively eliminates the concept of the low-propensity voter, since operatives see to it that all the ballots are requested and rounded up.

Within these ballot collection systems, there are no effective checks in place to stop voter fraud, and Democrats resist any attempt to apply any form of ID requirement.

That's a feature of the system.  It is meant to open the door to massive fraud that is virtually undetectable.  Considering how fast Pennsylvania was called, does anyone really think they were validating the mail-in ballots?   ....... Democrats are angry that they couldn't effectively manipulate the Florida elections.  Ana Navarro made that clear enough when she accused DeSantis of gaming the system and creating an unlevel playing field, which, in liberalese, means that he shut down the cheating.

The Republican state party in the ballot-collecting blue states will need to adjust to this new environment and start ballot-collecting itself.  Entering Election Day staring out of a pit is not a winning strategy.    ....Republicans need to get mass mail-in ballots and ballot-harvesting before the Supreme Court as part of a voter disenfranchisement case.  That should be their endgame because that is the heart of the issue.  If Fetterman can win in Pennsylvania and Whitmer can win in Michigan, actual voters don't matter that much more in those states than they did in Iraq.

Now is the time to go all-in on a legal strategy.  If Republicans wait until the start of the 2024 cycle, it will be too late. They should also hold hearings on voter integrity and flash a blazing light on the issue."

How Wisconsin Streetfighters Disrupted a Democrat Ballot-Gathering System

 American Thinker

Ballots and votes.

These two words seem synonymous, yet they imply opposite ways to choose a government.

There is a big difference between "votes" and "ballots."  The Republicans focused on winning votes; the Democrats focused on gathering ballots.  The ballots won.

—Conservative Treehouse November 2022

When Election Day became Election Month, mail-in ballots replaced in-person voters, and the electoral world changed forever.  It is not changing back. 

Democrats, expert in anything government-related, drove states to change laws, increase voting days, loosen voter standards.  Republican leadership dozed.

Democrats, leftist non-governmental organizations, Big Tech invented every conceivable way to manipulate the ballot process: collect ballots, drop into streetside bins, fill them out if the voter doesn't. 

That is a ballot-gathering strategy.  It works! .......

Quiet, anonymous Wisconsin heroes — working in a small office, virtually unfunded — proved how to collapse the Democrat ballot-gathering apparatus.

For the ballot-gathering strategy to work, Democrats need tens of thousands of phantom addresses and voters.  A few is not enough.  Without thousands of loose ballots tied to phantoms, the edifice comes crashing down.

They also need Republicans to do nothing.

The Wisconsin team proved, in this election, that adding even a small amount of friction – removing thousands of phantom names and identifying several hundred thousand incorrect addresses — has a massive impact on the ballot-gathering system.

Our Wisconsin election heroes applied Fractal Programming technology, funded by Mike Lindell, at scale to find and challenge phantoms.  The process is explained at www.Omega4America.com.

Is Student Loan Forgiveness By Executive Order Legal?

 The College Investor

Senators Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) want President Joe Biden to forgive $50,000 in federal student loans per borrower. They claim that he can do this unilaterally through executive order.

President Biden has promised to forgive $10,000 in student loan debt per borrower, but wants Congress to pass legislation to implement it. The $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief plan proposed by President Biden does not include any student loan forgiveness.   ......

Can The President Cancel All Federal Student Loans?

The President does not have the legal authority to forgive student loans on his own. Only Congress has the power of the purse. Executive action can be used only when it has been specifically authorized by Congress."

Biden's hateful rhetoric against Americans presents the GOP with a sterling opportunity

 American Thinker

Biden said that "too much of what's happening in our country today isn't normal."  

Biden is right here, but the blame for this lies on him.

Never before have government institutions been hijacked and misused to target political opponents.

Never before has a virus been misused to impose lockdowns that infringe on the right to freedom of movement and the right to earn a living.

Never before have vaccines been mandated, causing people to be fired from their jobs or suffer from health issues.

Never before has the U.S. government demonized its own citizens, calling them domestic terrorists.

Never before has the U.S. government set up a "Disinformation Governance Board" that sits in judgment of the utterances of citizens.

Never before has the U.S. been subjected to prolonged disinformation campaigns, the Russian collusion hoax, the Ukraine call hoax, and now the insurrection hoax.

Never before has the U.S. had a president whose cognitive abilities are so impaired that he struggles to read off a teleprompter and causes citizens to wonder who is in charge.

Biden continues by claiming that the Republican Party is "dominated, driven, intimidated by Donald Trump" and his supporters, calling it "a threat to this country" because "they refuse to accept the results of a free election."

Perhaps Biden forgot the Russian collusion hoax concocted by the Democrats that baselessly attempted to delegitimize the results of the 2016 presidential election.  It was the Democrats who refused to accept the results of a free election.

Perhaps Biden forgot that big media and Big Tech suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop scandal prior to the 2020 election.  A recent poll shows that nearly four of five Americans believe that "truthful" coverage would have changed the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.

Perhaps Biden forgot about Mark Zuckerberg spending $419 million to infiltrate sacrosanct electoral infrastructure of the 2020 elections and push for mail-in voting.

Perhaps Biden forgot that 69% of voters nationwide cast their ballot non-traditionally — i.e., by mail and/or before Election Day for the 2020 election.  Mail votes are highly vulnerable to fraud.

Biden also alleged that the "MAGA forces" are aligned with white supremacists, violent extremists, and other undesirables.

Perhaps Biden forgot violent Democrat extremists threatening Supreme Court justices and vandalizing Catholic churches, pregnancy centers, and the offices of pro-life groups.  There was an assassination plot against Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Biden also accused "MAGA Republicans" of seeing a country consumed in "darkness."

Perhaps Biden forgot that his misgovernance is the sole cause of darkness."

Biden's teetering house of cards

 American Thinker

The lockdowns and vaccine mandates should be evidence enough to prove his malice.  Was the pandemic real, or was it planned as suggested by Event 201?  Was it a plot to defeat Trump with lockdowns and mail-in voting?  The vaccines have killed and injured hundreds of thousands of people, many of them young and athletic.  The excess mortality is up nearly 50%.  The vaccines are dangerous, and everyone knows this now, but the Biden administration is still promoting them.  Are they a depopulation scheme?  Who knows?  Dobbs's fictional pols are no match for the pernicious Biden and his handlers.  (The three Sisters from Hell?)  They are on a mission to effect the Great Reset.

Biden's malodorous speech on Thursday, bathed in communist red light, was bloodcurdling in its ramifications.  His contempt for at least seventy-five million Americans was disgraceful.  The man is suffering from cognitive decline and is striking out at his political opponents in furious anger.  All of his accusations about "MAGA Republicans" are true of his party, of himself; the speech was a grand exercise in projection and gaslighting."

 

Biden Calls on the Mob

 American Thinker

The Dems decided they needed a little presidential revival before the midterms to fire up their base -- which isn’t looking very motivated at the moment. They gave President Gremlin a few days of vacation to rest up, a couple of shots of Adderall to switch on long-dormant brain cells, and a few hits of oxygen so he could walk out onto the stage without collapsing.   ......

Looking at the trajectory of our country over the past 14 years shows that we are approaching a fork in the road. The mob that Joe Biden represents has:

• Worked to undermine our constitutionally protected rights to free speech and freedom of religion
• Corrupted our criminal justice system
• Attempted the assassination of political opponents
• Undermined election integrity (and no, that’s not a “big lie”)
• Used rioting, vandalism, and assault to impose their political will
• Broken the most efficient industrial supply chain in the world
• Threatened the financial security of 330 million Americans

These things would have been unthinkable in America prior to 2008. Now they are part of our political fabric. Joe Biden, via what he does and doesn’t say, is calling for more of it. It is not hyperbole to say the obvious -- we are nearing our last chance for patriotic Americans to stand up, be heard, and stop this nonsense.

The malaise speech signified the end of Jimmy Carter’s presidency. Here’s to hoping that Joe Biden’s hate speech marks the end of his."

A Window on the Orwellian Dystopia of America

 American Thinker

The intensity of leftist thought tyranny project has exploded in years, and continues to startle us. It has been explained quite well by a computer whiz named  David Rozado, now a professor of computer science in New Zealand, on the pages of the Journal Academic Questions, published by a conservative association of Academics, the National Association of Scholars.  

Dr. Rozado is, in effect, studying the structure of a PsyOps project on a wide scale.  Rozado writes an incredibly important research paper on memes and themes in academic and popular literature -- how our Orwellian world is being created and people are taught what to think and what to consider important. He does it by way of technology that reminds me of Lexis on steroids.   .....All three of these men, Rozado, Groseclose, and Epstein are treasures for anyone trying to assess the Gramscian march through the institutions and the successes of the progressive leftist oligarchs in politics."

 

The True Cost of Student Loans

American Thinker 

The cancellation of student debt has echoes of two other unwise political decisions, one made by a Republican President, the other by a Democrat President.  ......The losers will be the American taxpayer.  They will now have to pay off the loans of unemployable liberals at the inflated prices set by liberal colleges.  Given that as things stand there is already $1.75 trillion in student debt, how much worse will it get after Biden’s announcement? One thing is for sure is that we will all pay for it, in more ways than one.

CBDC

Central bank digital currency. Think centralised, consolidated power, but with infinite digital ‘printing’ of money, real-time monitoring of all transactions, everywhere, all at once, all of the time.

Imagine programmable money that ‘expires’ if you don’t consume fast enough as a consumer.

A vast swathe of countries are jumping onboard this bullet train, that has a final destination of total monetary enslavement, dictating the extent to which an individual can partake in everyday society.

Absolute control over what you are able to spend your ‘money’ on, where you are able to spend it, how often you are granted spending ‘indulgences’ like coffee and cheeseburgers, all tied up in a nice little bow of social credit score ratings and carbon footprint tracking.

Sweden are rolling out their own social credit system hailed as a “modern public rewards system” (suggest using brave browser with mate translate chrome extension or other).

Biden Personally Denied Trump’s Privilege Claim, Authorizing FBI Raid on Mar-a-Lago

 ZeroHedge

...

"We have requested the ability to review the documents," Corcoran wrote to both NARA and White House Deputy Counsel on April 29. “We would respectfully request that you restrict access to the documents until we have had the opportunity to review the documents and to consult with President Donald J. Trump so that he may personally make any decision to assert a claim of constitutionally based privilege.”

According to Just the News, “Wall informed Corcoran that she had the blessing of Biden to overrule those privilege claims and share all materials requested by the DOJ and FBI.”

From the letter: "The Counsel to the President has informed me that, in light of the particular circumstances presented here, President Biden defers to my determination, in consultation with the Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel, regarding whether or not I should uphold the former President's purported 'protective assertion of executive privilege,'" Wall wrote. "... I have therefore decided not to honor the former President's 'protective' claim of privilege." .......

A quick reminder that when Hillary Clinton was subpoenaed and asked to produce the contents of her private email server, her response was far from compliant. She denied ever having received a subpoena, told the FBI she could not locate any of the requested 13 mobile devices, deleted 33,000 emails from her personal server, and joked about all of this publicly! Somehow this behavior did not result in a search warrant and raid of her summer home in Chappaqua, NY.

Can you imagine if Trump had burned the documents after learning of the subpoena and claimed to have ‘misplaced’ them? He’d be behind bars already."

President Trump is Our ‘Canary in the Coal Mine’

American Thinker 

 

Over a century ago, scientist John Scott Haldane, recognizing the danger of carbon monoxide in coal mines, introduced the use of pet canaries as an early warning system for miners.  The concept caught on quickly, and for three quarters of a century, coal miners would come to trust their pet "canary in the coal mine" as their potential lifesaver: carbon monoxide would kill the bird first, giving the men time to escape the mine before the deadly gas could get them, too.

Former President Donald J. Trump is the Republican Party's canary.

In the "pandemic year" of 2020, Democrat bureaucrats across the country took advantage of public fears of Covid-19 to scare millions of people out of the traditional American election practice: in person, at a polling place, where each voter could at least potentially undergo an identity check as protection against vote fraud.

In 2020, numerous state, county, and city governments authorized such corruptible concepts as mass mail-in ballots, unguarded non-mail public drop boxes, and virtually unlimited ballot harvesting. .....There have been a host of election process investigations since November, 2020, when Donald Trump, who won 74 million popular votes, was declared to have lost to Joe Biden's alleged 81 million, in a total purported voting population of 158 million.  This would be an increase of 22 million over the turnout in 2016, in a country in which the only significant population demographic that's increasing is that of non-citizens. It is statistically dubious, leading to the logical conclusion that a lot of those votes, certainly millions if not tens of millions, were fabricated.   .....

With the 2020 election, everything was exposed.  The tools used against Donald Trump, from 2000 real mules to 20,000 fictional hobos, smacked of desperation.  They succeeded, but at great cost: they replaced incumbent Donald Trump with a basement-dwelling dementia patient who couldn't fill a New Hampshire diner let alone a stadium rally.  The canary in the coal mine - the Trump presidency - was extinguished.

But there is a value to that canary.  In the coal mine, the loss of the canary was a warning, a beacon to everyone else around.  It warned them of the danger that could quickly defeat them as well if they didn't act with urgency."

The Elite Panic of 2022

 CJ

What terrifies elites is the loss of their cultural monopoly in the face of a foretold political disaster. They fear diversity of any kind, with good cause: to the extent that the public enjoys a variety of choices in cultural products, elite control will be proportionately diluted.

Our cultural monolith, never popular, is today pounded by crosscurrents that undermine its solidity. Alongside the vast progressive choir, quieter voices—conservative, libertarian, religious, none-of-the-above—could soon arise, leaving our culture more fractured, more divided, and more representative of the nation as a whole. If that were to occur, sullen elites will point to 2022’s springtime of discontent, and remark, with typical vehemence, that their panic was fully justified.!

 

Desperately disqualifying Donald

 American Thinker

All the Democrats’ horses and all the Democrats’ men have spent the last seven years doing their worst to make Donald Trump unelectable. First, a special counsel was appointed to rid them of President Trump. Two separate impeachments without convictions followed. The fondest hope of the infamous Great Reset was to separate him from national leadership. When Trump followers protested the very questionable election of 2020, his opponents called it an insurrection and accused Trump of being the ringleader. On August 8, 2022, a day that will live in MAGA infamy, 30 FBI agents raided President Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago, seizing documents. Guess how many times this has been done before to a former president? Never!  "

Mar-a-Lago should become a byword for government overreach

 American Thinker

Leaving aside valid questions about whether the materials in question were classified or declassified, the raid on Mar-a-Lago is certainly not justified, as Donald Trump and his legal advisors seem to have been cooperating with the National Archives to ensure that Presidential Records remained under federal government control, starkly in contrast with how the Clinton family has handled such records over decades.   .....Does anyone in the punditry or the FBI care to explain what truly happened from January 21, 2009, through and after February 1, 2013, when Hillary Clinton certainly mishandled classified information as Bill Clinton and Chelsea Clinton directed the affairs of a purported “foundation,” all the while reaping millions of dollars for themselves and even more for Democrat political campaigns?"

Strange time to order a raid

 American Thinker

My guess is that a decision of this type was made very close to the Oval Office if not President Biden himself.  It's hard to believe that a local FBI office would take such a risk over documents that may or may not be found."

Donald Trump Must Be The 2024 Republican Nominee

 American Thinker

Supposedly, President Trump improperly took with him various documents that were classified or subject to the Federal Records Act. This would make him guilty of violating 18 U.S.C. § 2071. This would then make him ineligible to run in 2024. But that’s a pipe dream. 18 U.S.C. § 2071 does not apply to the Presidency. The paper I just cited was written to answer Republican vapors about disqualifying Hillary Clinton in the email scandal. But we’re not done.

President Trump, as the ultimate classification authority, has the unquestionable authority to declassify anything he wants to declassify. If he says it’s no longer a secret, nobody can question it. And, as the President, he doesn’t have to file any papers with anyone to do it......The supposedly confidential papers stolen from Trump’s safe are not subject to the Federal Records Act because they are copies of papers that exist in other places. And by definition, if the President removes them from the White House to another place, they are no longer classified. His action, taken before the new occupant was sworn in, was completely lawful. The act of removing them from a SCIF (Secure Compartmented Information Facility, e.g. the White House) by the only person lawfully empowered to do so, is not subject to prosecution. But the insane Left will use it as a way to declare him unfit........Ultimately, we must consider why the Left is so obsessed with Donald Trump. It’s certainly not because he violated any laws.  .....The raid on Mar-a-Lago is the act of a set of political actors who have no regard for the law, and who serve the god of big government. They pray daily that they will be seated in positions of power where they can prove their self-importance to their deity. None of them have the slightest concern for real Americans who actually work to provide for their families after the demigods in DC have extracted their pound (or three) of flesh."

 

Trump is running

 American Thinker

Within hours of the FBI having raided Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home, Trump’s Truth Social Account posted a video that’s absolutely magnificent. It’s also manifestly a campaign video. I’m betting it was prepared for a formal announcement from Trump that he was running, but it was apparent to everyone that it needed to be published immediately.  .......So, the big question after watching this video is whether Trump should run. We have two essays running today arguing that Trump should indeed run: (1) Donald Trump Must Be The 2024 Republican Nominee, by Ted Noel, and (2) History is calling Donald Trump, by M.B. Mathews. If you haven’t yet read them, I highly recommend that you do so."

The Corruption of the World Health Organization (WHO)

 American Thinker

Did the World Health Organization follow public health principles when recommending the global Covid-19 response?

• Was the WHO-recommended response to Covid-19 in line with the WHO’s own constitution and its own pandemic preparedness plans?
• Was the WHO guided by science or by private corporate interests?

Ultimately, is the WHO suitable as an agency and global authority when it comes to public health?

 

The World Health Organization’s own constitution states that “informed opinion and active co-operation on the part of the public are of the utmost importance in the improvement of the health of the people.”

Yet, informed consent, which includes the right to say “no” to the vaccine, was essentially non-existent as companies, schools and governmental institutions coerced people into taking the jab.

Repeatedly, scientists, doctors and other health care workers who attempted to inform the public about alternative treatment options for Covid were censored, punished, and given a pariah status that still exists to this day.

Were non-pharmaceutical interventions [such as masks] deployed during the Covid-19 pandemic in line with the 2019 WHO pandemic management recommendations?

The overwhelming answer is “not even close.”   .........

After all, despite data showing the low lethality of the virus, the World Health Organization “did not adjust its recommendations to apply the principle of proportionality throughout the pandemic.”

In addition, outright fabrications were disseminated by the WHO.  In March 2020, the WHO declared SARS-CoV-2 as an entirely novel virus.  In actuality, “SARS-CoV-2 is not entirely novel.  It is a new member of the coronavirus family, closely related to the SARS-CoV virus which caused the SARS disease in 2003.”   .........

Perhaps most damning of all is that the WHO disregarded emerging evidence on potentially effective early treatments for Covid-19 and actively recommended against their use.  It “advised against the use of ivermectin to treat patients and limited its use to clinical trials despite promising evidence for its effectiveness and safety in treating Covid-19.”

How many lives would have been saved had the WHO not suppressed the use of life-saving drugs?"

Republicans attack Matt Walsh for telling the truth about slavery

 American Thinker 

One of the most pernicious things that has happened recently in America is the 1619 Project, an error-riddled "history" of the United States that presents our nation as one predicated solely on the evils of African slavery, beginning when Europeans first set foot on North American soil.  This original sin, says the 1619 Project, tainted everything that followed.  Therefore, only racists can love America.  Obviously, Democrats embraced this history, but, when commentator Matt Walsh discussed the larger history of world slavery, he learned that some Republicans don't want the truth to be put out there, either.  ....Sean Wilentz is a very progressive Princeton professor but is also someone whose passion for American history means he cannot lie about it, so he has attacked the 1619 Project on factual grounds (see here and here).  His critiques make for illuminating reading.  The short version is that The 1619 Project is factually wrong from top to bottom and front to back.  (You can see my friend Wolf Howling's summary of Wilentz's arguments here.)   ......And regarding those angry Republicans, I also have a point to make: they're dead wrong that it's a mistake to bring actual history to the fore.  The entire purpose behind the 1619 Project and Critical Race Theory is to make Black Americans hate White Americans.  The initiatives do that by falsely claiming that America was uniquely horrible when it came to slaves.     ....The only way to push back against this foul narrative is with the truth.  Until Black Americans know the entire truth, they will continue to hate America and hate Whites.  Only when they appreciate that their ancestors were an unfortunate part of a universal historical story — and that America marked the end of that story — can they reconcile to America and break with the racially toxic Democrat party."

So, the actual Manchin con doesn’t really concern his deal with Schumer; it doesn’t even concern anything effected mainly by Manchin. It’s this: the most left-wing Democrats (Sandy Cortez and the Squad et al.) and mainstream media squealing about how he’s really a Republican when he bucks them on some radical legislation — and elated but naïve Republicans chiming in and heroizing him — and all of them together effecting the illusion that he really is, in practice, a “moderate” or “conservative” Democrat.

Then the good people of W.Va. can vote for Manchin the next time around, secure in the illusion that he’s like their granddaddy’s Democrat — and oblivious to how they’re electing an 80-percent Pelosi."

 

The Covid ‘Vaccine’ Scam

 American Thinker

“Emergency Use Authorization” (EUA) came into prominence with the “Right to Try” law.  This law was another way for patients who had been diagnosed with life-threatening diseases, who had tried all approved treatment options and who were unable to participate in a clinical trial, to access certain unapproved treatments. 

What is the difference between FDA Approval and Emergency Use Authorization?

“FDA Approval” from the Food and Drug Administration is an independent, scientifically reviewed approval for medical products, drugs and vaccines.  Approval is based on substantial clinical data and evidence, the product is deemed safe, effective and able to be produced within federal quality standards.  Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) is a mechanism used by the FDA to facilitate making products available quickly during a public health emergency, when there is no other adequate and approved medical product available. 

 ....What is the difference between an EUA “vaccine” under President Trump and the same one under President Biden?  One was available and the other became mandatory.  ......

Consider there was no vaccine for HIV after 40 years of research.  There were no vaccines for cancer after 100 years of research.  No vaccines for a coronavirus—the common cold or some derivative which historically lasts two years before dying out—such as SARS and MERS.  And yet when a mysterious deadly coronavirus from China appeared on America’s shores, within a year we not only have a “COVID-19 vaccine” but a “vaccine” found by four pharmaceutical companies within a week—with new technology that you will be impressed with.  But there is a catch: we cannot ask any questions, like asking your doctor if 32 pages of side effects is right for you.

The unvaccinated wanted to know what’s in the “vaccines.”  Are they inactivated vaccines or attenuated vaccines?  No one knows because there are no documents to attest the EUA concoctions are Wuhan wet market sewer water or the biological equivalent of the FDA Approved vaccine or something else, like mRNA.  It is revealing that the pharmaceutical companies have been unwilling to reveal the contents of their mRNA EUA “vaccines.”  They want to wait 75 years before telling anyone.  Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of the mRNA technology said the vaccine is gene therapy.

We've finally got confirmation that Joe was 'the Big Guy' all along

 American Thinker

Currently, Merrick Garland is seriously contemplating indicting Donald Trump for daring to do what Democrats did in 2000 and 2016: question an election's validity.  That is a dangerous ideological turn.  Meanwhile, in the land of actual facts, Miranda Devine has unearthed compelling evidence that, when Hunter's business partners were planning to have "H" hold "10%" for "the Big Guy" as part of a massive deal with a CCP-backed Chinese energy company, "the Big Guy" was Joe Biden, who had just left the vice president's office.   ....

Tony Bobulinski, however, sat down for a lengthy, detailed interview with Tucker Carlson and carefully explained that, of course, Joe was the Big Guy.  Bobulinski said he knew that fact as a matter of firsthand information.  But still, from Joe on down, it was all denial, denial, denial from the Democrats.

That all changed yesterday when Miranda Devine broke a new story about Hunter Biden's hard drive.  She came into possession of a message that James Gilliar left on October 14, 2020, when the Hunter Biden hard drive story broke.  In the message, Gilliar tried to calm an unknown person about the risks to him from the hard drive becoming public — and in the message, he explicitly referred to Joe Biden as...you guessed it..."the Big Guy":    .....In the law, we call that "the smoking gun," for it seems to provide solid proof that Joe Biden sold access to the United States government, with his louche, debauched son as the bagman.  That is, as Tucker says in his excellent monologue, both illegal and immoral:"

 American Thinker

Some people want Trump without his vices. I was among them -- until yesterday, when I watched and listened to Tom Klingenstein’s speech titled “Trump’s virtues.”  It was masterful and shamed me that I did not make the distinction between Trump's character and his virtues, the former being deeply flawed, the latter being almost perfect.     ......His accomplishments far outweigh his personality quirks. No other president did so much in so little time.  ...... I believe the election was stolen and millions of others do. We now have evidence from many quarters that this is so. It cannot be permitted a repeat or there will be severe repercussions that will dwarf the current ones.  .......We wanted Trump not only to fix things; we wanted him to be perfect while doing it. That is unrealistic in the average family, the average relationship, the average business and the average political or cultural milieu. Yet some of us wanted Trump to be perfect enough to invite to tea. He is not that man. But he is the man for our tumultuous times.  .......Among the talked-about alternatives to Trump I have not yet seen anyone who possesses or even understands Trump’s virtues. Nor have I seen anyone with his backbone and fortitude. One does not appreciate the strength of relentless gale-force winds until one is in the eye of the storm."

Tucker Carlson targets a serious, dangerous crisis in American science

American Thinker 

Last week, University College London released a massive study showing that the antidepressants that the majority of adult Americans are guzzling like candy do not treat a chemical imbalance in the brain because depression isn't caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain.  This is just the latest in a series of body blows American science has taken in the past few years — and Tucker Carlson lobs some nuclear missiles, in the form of facts, targeting the way in which the pharmaceutical industry and government money have corrupted science, placing Americans at tremendous risk.

Tucker had only 19 minutes, so one of the things he didn't address, but which should be examined up front, is the fact that, in 2015, a serious problem that had been bubbling through the science establishment finally broke into the open for ordinary citizens: the replication crisis.  ......Because Tucker Carlson starts with OxyContin and then moves from there to antidepressants, Ritalin and Adderall for children, Alzheimer's drugs and, of course, the lies about the COVID vaccine, I'll let him take over in another of his must-see monologues:"

McCullough MD MPH is tale of the 2- year- plus effort, accomplishments and travails of a remarkably prominent and successful physician.  Dr. McCullough  decided to push back on the establishment in the face of a global epidemic of a respiratory virus, COVID 19 (SARS COV 2) , risking everything in today’s cancel culture.  He pushed for sensible early treatment, when the establishment had another agenda—don’t treat or treat with worthless drugs until we get our “vaccine” (it’s not a vaccine at all) out.  The opportunity to make billions from scared populations, nations, politicians and create worldwide chaos and even reorder societies was at stake for them.  As the progressives say, never let a good crisis go to waste if there is an opportunity for a power grab and profits."

Tucker Carlson drops the hammer on Biden's selling out America to China

 American Thinker

The Monday, July 11, 2022 edition of Tucker Carlson Tonight went where no other major media outlet will go, connecting the dots on President Joe Biden's financial enrichment from China and the policies and decisions he's made that benefit China, but not the American people.  It was a remarkable act of bravery, and it lasted nearly the entire first half of the program without commercial interruption.  Carlson also blasted social media and the mainstream media that have worked assiduously to censor this information.

This is truly must-see TV.

 

Jordan Peterson in Hot Water over Pronouns (Again)

 American Thinker

God bless Jordan Peterson.  "Up yours, woke moralists," Peterson told Twitter in a recent podcast when they suspended his account for tweeting a missive that apparently used incorrect gender pronouns and somehow violated Twitter's ambiguous and purposely vague rules of conduct.    ...Contrary to woke dogma, gender pronouns are meaningless.  Put another way, they are incoherent and indefinable, and when explored with any logic or rigor, they unravel into mush.  They violate basic grammar rules and create confusion in both the speaker and listener.  Using "they/them" as singular pronouns causes ambiguity and problematizes communication, and destabilizes established cultural and linguistic norms.  Further, because modern gender ideology teaches that gender is fluid and not fixed, pronouns can change at any time for any reason.   .....This mushy, incoherent swamp recently swallowed Jordan Peterson on Twitter.  In response to his suspension, Peterson stated in part: 

"And how can I describe the fact that someone who was once a woman (and really still is) had her breasts cut off because she/he/her/them had fallen prey to a viciously harmful fad without using the appropriate sex-linked pronoun and the real name of the real person to whom this was really done (with her/his/their voluntary but unfortunate acquiescence)?

And so it was impossible to communicate what had happened to my audience without, apparently, running afoul of the impossible and absurd rules that now hypothetically govern morality itself in the days of the degenerated postmodern and Marxist ethos that we must still, no matter how impossible it is, abide by — or else."

Exactly.

This isn't to say we shouldn't treat our fellow human beings with compassion or respect.  Still, our culture's obsession with pronouns is unhealthy and concerning.

Progressive postmodern Marxists who traffic in identity politics want pronouns to matter — too much, and in all the wrong ways.  And unfortunately, they will continue to build them into ever more serious, consequential, and ideological entities that they alone can wield and control.

 

Follow the COVID Money

 American Thinker

If the COVID-19 vaccines have been a disappointment from a public health standpoint in stopping the continuing spread of new variants of the disease, why is Big Pharma as well as its government allies in the FDA, CDC, and NIH still pushing them?

As Deep Throat whispered to Bob Woodward during the Watergate scandal (“Follow the money”), so, too, the American public should be demanding the same of its political leaders: Follow the COVID money to determine why we continue to spend a fortune on something that seems to have only a relatively limited benefit.

But our elected officials are embarrassingly quiet on answering the basic question of who exactly is benefiting from the constant rounds of shots being foisted on or recommended to the American public? 

Maybe the silence comes from the fact that the pharmaceutical industry spends more on lobbying than any other industry group. In 2020 big pharma spent over $300 million lobbying officeholders and government officials. It clearly pays off. The research to develop the COVID-19 vaccines was nearly all funded by taxpayers. The distribution of the vaccines, once developed, was further funded nearly entirely by taxpayers. The record-keeping and reporting on the vaccines is also at the expense of taxpayers, and the new repurposed Pfizer drug Paxlovid, used to treat COVID, has been paid for by taxpayers.   .....

This isn’t speculation, it’s big money. Consider: Pfizer expects $32 billion in COVID vaccine sales in 2022. Moderna is forecasting $19 billion in COVID sales with the vaccine being its only current commercial product. Moderna had never produced a vaccine before it developed its COVID shots. Pfizer, BioNTech, and Moderna are reported to be making $1,000 in profit every second of every business day"

 

Michelle Obama Is Running for President in 2024

American Thinker

For those who have monitored the Obamas closely, as I have, the plot to elect Michelle president has been obvious since at least 2016.  Michelle has been following a formula scarily like the one that got Barack Obama elected president.  Like her husband, Michelle served as the keynote speaker at a Democrat Convention.  Barack's 2004 breakout speech introducing John Kerry made him a viable candidate four years later.  Michelle's 2020 speech on behalf of Joe Biden established her as the favorite next nominee."

Germany's experience with COVID 'vaccines' suggests they increase omicron infections

 American Thinker

The former East Germany has a lower vaccination rate than the former West Germany, and this has resulted in a lower incidence of the latest COVID variant.  It seems, though the Berlin Wall fell more than 30 years ago, the former East Germans have a memory of distrusting government pronouncements and edicts, for self-preservation.  This instinct has served them well at a time when the only reason governments bother to tell us anything is in order to lie to us."

Tucker puts together the long list of political arrests in Biden's America

 American Thinker

We've all been aware of the stories about the FBI arresting conservatives — and by that, I don't mean the way the FBI has hunted down every granny and veteran who, made ignorant by the systematic removal of "no trespassing" signs and fencing, and the Capitol Police holding open doors, entered the Capitol and wandered around reverently.  That's bad enough.  But the FBI is also going after high-level, high-profile political operatives (advisers, politicians, journalists) who have dared challenge Biden's rise to the White House.  On Wednesday, Tucker Carlson finally put together a list of the brutal, humiliating, seemingly lawless arrests, and it's really shocking.   ....."

Tucker Carlson exposes the totalitarian Biden regime

 American Thinker

Tucker Carlson reminded his viewers of political opponents who have been targeted since Biden's inauguration in his monologue yesterday.    ....

The criminalizing of political opponents occurs only in third-world dictatorships, where the despot wants to leave no stone unturned in his monopoly on power and the narrative.  All opposition is outlawed.  Questioning journalists, members of the opposition party, protestors, activists, and even artists are targeted.

These are not the kind of occurrences expected in one of the world's leading democracies.

The goal behind these arrests, confiscations, and raids is to outlaw political opposition and association with political opponents.  

The targeting is also supposed to function as a deterrent. ......

Tucker meticulously detailing the political opponents that the Biden administration unfairly and systematically targeted is an eminent journalistic effort. 

Tucker Carlson is among the few who speak truth to power, irrespective of party.

If only there were more such as him!

Sneaky Joe's new plan to steal the midterms

 American Thinker

Joe Biden has a new plan to rig and steal the midterms. He's not only doing it now, he's been working on it for a while. Hemingway notes that it probably isn't legal, given that the executive branch has no right to get involved with elections. As a result, Biden and his Democrats are really determined to keep news of its basic details from the public:    .......The short way of describing the plot is that Biden has asked any federal agency that delivers government services of any kind to voters to be converted into a voting operation.

Any government jobs center is now converted to a voting registration or voter "outreach" center. Ditto for any health care agency, any college, any housing agency.

Worse still, the Biden plan involves "partnering" with NGOs, which are partisan in the extreme and not subject to government rules against partisanship or political compaigning to get the dirty work done:  ....

Bitter, hateful, ultra-partisan Obama-era leftist Susan Rice, who is now Biden's "chief domestic advisor" is reportedly running this scam and keeping news of it from the public, with presumably Sorosian NGOs serving as her handmaids. Anyone who thinks a federal agency that doles out benefits can't pressure recipients into voting the way they want them to vote is naive in the extreme.

No wonder Joe doesn't want anyone to know. Hemingway points out that NGOs played a pivotal role in swinging the 2020 election far enough into Joe's column for all the cheating efforts to make it come out a victory for him."

6 Ways McConnell Betrays the Republican Base

 American Thinker

 But…you knew it was coming…I sure wish we could move on from Mitch McConnell.  Or rather, I wish we could find an effective way to compel Republican senators to move on from McConnell (and his lackeys) as their leader.

I don't like him.  I don't like the way he conducts business in the Senate.  I don't like his imperious nature and his backroom double-dealings.  I don't think he represents the vast majority of Republican voters, and even worse, I don't think he even cares.  I find him off-putting and arrogant and a terrible spokesperson for the Republican Party.  I do not think he has ever convinced a single non-Republican voter to come onboard.  I'm not certain he believes in much aside from the accumulation and maintenance of raw power.  And to the extent he actually does have sincere beliefs, those beliefs seem hopelessly aligned to an outdated Republican Party still grazing in the country-club safe spaces of bourbon-swilling "elites." 

(1) Russia collusion hoaxer:  The Russia collusion hoax was Obama and Hillary's baby (uh, gross), but Mitch gave it legitimacy by pretending that it deserved serious investigation. 

(2) Backstabber extraordinaire:Had polling not ultimately cowed him, he certainly would have joined Mitt Romney in voting for Trump's second farcical impeachment. 

(3) Corporate stooge and anti-labor globalist:  He's what most Republicans have come to despise: a politician who does the bidding of corporate lobbyists, not his constituents.  He's a globalist in an America First party.

(4) War hawk with a China problem:And nobody trusts McConnell's obsession with Russia when he turns a blind eye to China's genocide, market manipulation, and aggression.

(5) Election manipulator:  McConnell has cost Republicans Senate seats time and again.  His my way or the highway approach to Senate elections has given Chuck Schumer a majority. 

(6) Party boss, not a leader:  He lacks gravitas, eloquence, charm, or even the inkling of an inspiring demeanor.  He rules through fear and punishment, and voters do not like or trust him.  "

 

Putin didn't cause gas price rise

 American Thinker

To hear it from President Brandon, the current high cost of gasoline is all Vladimir Putin’s fault.  “Putin’s gas hike!” is a common Brandon theme.

But it’s all nonsense.  Putin is actually responsible for very little of the cost of gasoline.

According to the U.S. Energy Energy Administration, the cost of gasoline was $2.096 a gallon on Election Day 2020.  By Inauguration Day it had climbed to $2.334 a gallon.  The date of the invasion of Ukraine was February 24; at that time the price had risen to $3.517 a gallon.  Putin cannot be blamed for any price rises which occurred before the date of the invasion.

Since that time, it is true that the United States has embargoed Russian oil imports into the United States.  However, this has had a minimal impact on the cost of gasoline because Europe has not embargoed Russian oil.

According to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Europe has taken only baby steps to reduce its appetite for Russian oil and gas.  Europe has announced, not one, but six packages of sanctions, and all fall woefully short of ending their import on Russian oil.  ......Russia is still adding its oil production to the world’s markets.  In addition to Europe, Russia now is selling discounted oil to China and India.  This will result in less demand for oil from the Mideast, which frees up that oil for sale elsewhere."

 

Tucker Carlson savages Republican politicians' disrespect for Americans

 American Thinker

There's no distance between what Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer want, on the one hand, and what Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn, and all the other extremely powerful RINOs want:

• A monetary policy that gives the government more money to play with.
• An open border providing cheap labor for the monied Democrats and Republicans and possible decades of votes.
• A military-industrial complex that floods politicians with money as long as the politicians divert taxpayer money to Ukraine.
• A total bow-down to the Critical Race Theorists, which the Democrats do because it gives them political power and the Republicans do because they're milquetoasts who are embarrassed about America.
• Same goes for the LGBTQ+++ tyranny that's spreading across America.
• And, of course, an endless spigot of Chinese money; never mind that accepting it means selling out their own country.

Pay special attention to the last minute or so of Tucker's speech.  It's a warning I sincerely hope Republican politicians, from Mitch McConnell on down, heed, lest America become ungovernable and the whole American experiment devolves into a welter of violence, blood, and famine."

D'Souza's Mules Left Tracks

 American Thinker

Many conservative commentators have noted that Dinesh D'Souza's documentary, 2000 Mules, offers compelling evidence of large-scale vote fraud.  It offers more than this, though.  It provides compelling evidence of a massive, centrally coordinated conspiracy to commit vote fraud.  Examining several states with different voter laws while focusing on just one form of fraud, the movie found that the method of fraud was executed identically in each of these states.  That is prima facie evidence of central organization and management.

From the moment counting was stopped in the dead of night in five Democrat-run swing states on election night, Democrats and the media have treated anyone who questioned election integrity in 2020 like a mob boss treats anyone who threatens to testify against him: shut up, or we will cancel you.  .....However it comes, D'Souza's documentary is the seminal moment the tide washed away enough mud that, despite their shrieks and howls, the left can no longer hide the ugly truth of what it did.  Massive election fraud in 2020 is a conspiracy, but it is no longer merely a theory."

 

The Coming Economic Storm

American Thinker 

Internet entrepreneur Kim Dot Com recently posted a Twitter thread about the world being on the brink of a major economic collapse, not because of Putin or Russia, but because America and much of the first world has been spending money they don’t have. Is that the coming storm? Is it already here?

What are those in charge doing about it? Investigating January 6, promoting drag queens in elementary school classrooms, and trying to neuter the Second Amendment, making it difficult for the American people to defend the rest of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. None of these will help the economy.

Where are Republicans? Are they pushing back and offering a new pathway out of this economic storm? Or they busy cozying up to Democrats and the corporate media, trying to gut the Second Amendment? Where are the warriors when we need them?

Was this the storm Trump was referring to? Whether it was an economic storm or not, buckle up as the American house of cards is wobbly and may collapse in the months ahead."

 

The N.Y. Times’ Bret Stephens fails Geopolitics 101

 American Thinker

Now, Bret Stephens and other American war hawks want to risk war with Russia in Ukraine to save Taiwan because “China is watching.” What China is watching, however, is a Biden administration that cannot make up its mind whether to recognize Taiwan as an independent country and adopt a policy of “strategic clarity” in defense of the island or to continue the policy of “strategic ambiguity.” Mackinder, Spykman, and Mahan would likely say: “If your goal is to deter a Chinese invasion of Taiwan and to defeat such an invasion if it occurs, arm, support and defend Taiwan, not Ukraine. China is watching what we are doing -- and not doing -- in the South China Sea, not in Eastern Europe. We should focus, as Clausewitz said, on the “center of gravity,” which is Taiwan, not Ukraine.

China should be watching U.S. military aid and supplies pouring into Taiwan; a significantly enhanced U.S. naval presence in the South China Sea; visits by high-ranking U.S. defense and foreign policy officials to Taiwan; diplomatic solidarity among the U.S., Japan, and other regional allies; and the use by U.S. officials of quiet diplomacy to make it unmistakably clear to China’s leaders that the U.S. and its regional allies will defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese attack or invasion. That is Geopolitics 101-- and Bret Stephens gets an “F.”

 

Simon & Schuster will distribute the Jan 6 committee report but with a twist

American Thinker 

The folks at Mother Jones, the unabashedly hard-left magazine, cannot get over the horror: Simon & Schuster is planning to distribute the final report from the January 6 Committee. That’s not the problem. The problem is that the forward will be from a “conspiracy theorist.” Translation: Someone who believes that the events on January 6 may have involved a large amount of federal activity, including entrapment, is going to be able to have a say about a committee report that was issued following a Stalinist proceeding without any semblance of due process.

Here's what Mother Jones has to say:

With the January 6 hearings dominating the headlines, publishing giant Simon & Schuster has announced that it will distribute the final report of the congressional committee investigating the insurrection. But there is something odd about the Simon & Schuster announcement: This edition of the report will come with a foreword from Darren Beattie—a former Trump speechwriter who was fired from the White House for attending a conference that is popular with white nationalists. More recently, Beattie has spread pro-Trump, far-right conspiracy theories about the attack on the US Capitol.

 .....Beattie and the Revolver have also carefully examined whatever footage they could from events on January 6. Notably, the Capitol Police have refused to release some 14,000 hours of footage, suggesting that there’s a whole lot more to events on that day than we’re privy to.....

Based on examining that footage, there’s at least credible evidence that (a) well-prepared people, including Ray Epps, deliberately encouraged and steered people into the Capitol; (b) the same well-prepared people methodically removed all fencing and signage that would have warned late-comers that they were trespassing; (c) the same military-style discipline was seen in the attacks on the Capitol’s windows and doors; and (d) the police were inviting people in, again depriving them of knowledge that the People’s House was forbidden to them.

When it comes to Epps, Mother Jones has a bit of its own disinformation. It claims that the only Epps footage shows him whispering something to Ryan Samsel before the latter confronted an officer. In fact, if you go to the link in the above paragraph, you can see two days’ worth of footage showing Epps actively encouraging people to “go into the Capitol.” Incitement much? And yet the FBI won’t touch him."

Biden's Deathly Presidency

 American Thinker

The most galling thing is that Biden never says a word about the victims of crime unless he can twist the incident into an anti-gun lecture, and he takes no action to protect anyone, especially law-abiding citizens in middle-class neighborhoods like my own.  In this and so many other ways, he seems on the side of those who wish to destroy us.  It's no accident that murder rates are spiraling at home and war is breaking out overseas.  Both are a response to Biden's weakness, and death is the consequence.I fear there will be more death ahead.  I expect an invasion in Taiwan, Moldova, or Finland, and new outbreaks of violence in the Middle East involving either Iran or its surrogates.  The incomprehensible Iran deal, which Biden is pushing, would "make Biden 'the biggest funder of terrorism in the world,'" according to Rep. Jim Banks.  "Terrorism" is not just a derogatory word; it is the act of murdering innocent human beings, including women and children.  Hasn't that fact entered into Biden's Iran deal calculations? .....

As a citizen, it is difficult to watch my country besieged by violence.  Biden's presidency has been deadly in every respect: turning off economic growth and imposing environmental restrictions, proposing inflation-adjusted cuts in national defense while paying off student loans, and putting citizens at risk with his anti-police rhetoric.

There is little chance of a second Biden term, but just another two and a half years is painful to imagine.  How many thousands will lose their lives because of one incompetent and wrong-headed leader?  How far will America go into danger and destruction?  And how much more difficult will it be for our next president, Trump or a Trump lookalike, to repair the damage and Make America Safe Again?"

The Engineered Stagflationary Collapse Has Arrived – Here's What Happens Next

 ZeroHedge

In my 16 years as an alternative economist and political writer I have spent around half that time warning that the ultimate outcome of the Federal Reserve’s stimulus model would be a stagflationary collapse. Not a deflationary collapse, or an inflationary collapse, but a stagflationary collapse. The reasons for this were very specific – Mass debt creation was being countered with MORE debt creation while many central banks have been simultaneously devaluing their currencies through QE measures. On top of that, the US is in the unique position of relying on the world reserve status of the dollar and that status is diminishing ......

“Production of fiat money is not the same as real production within the economy… Trillions of dollars in public works programs might create more jobs, but it will also inflate prices as the dollar goes into decline. So, unless wages are adjusted constantly according to price increases, people will have jobs, but still won’t be able to afford a comfortable standard of living. This leads to stagflation, in which prices continue to rise while wages and consumption stagnate.

Another Catch-22 to consider is that if inflation becomes rampant, the Federal Reserve may be compelled (or claim they are compelled) to raise interest rates significantly in a short span of time. This means an immediate slowdown in the flow of overnight loans to major banks, an immediate slowdown in loans to large and small businesses, an immediate crash in credit options for consumers, and an overall crash in consumer spending. You might recognize this as the recipe that created the 1981-1982 recession, the third-worst in the 20th century.

In other words, the choice is stagflation, or deflationary depression.”

Housing Crash Imminent: As Mortgage Rates Explode Price Cuts Soar And Buyer Demand Collapses (USA)

The Great Reset: Turning Back The Clock On Civilization

 ZeroHedge

The covid-19 pandemic featured an unprecedented fusion of the interests of large and powerful corporations with the power of the state. Democratically elected politicians in many countries failed to represent the interests of their own citizens and uphold their own constitutions and charters of rights. Specifically, they supported lockdown measures, vaccine mandates, the suppression of a variety of early treatment options, the censorship of dissenting views, propaganda, interference in the private spheres of individuals, and the suspension of various forms of freedom. All of these policies and measures were centrally designed by the social engineers of the pandemic.

Globalists, who are obsessed with societal control, decided to take advantage of the pandemic in order to increase their authoritarian power. Prominent among them was, Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of World Economic Forum (WEF). In June 2020, he stated that “the pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world.” According to him, “every country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed.”

It is no secret that the WEF has focused on accelerating the implementation of central planning for the entire global population since the early days of pandemic. This plan to establish a new world order, known as the Great Reset, was a key theme at the recent annual meeting of the WEF, which was held during May 22–26 in Davos, Switzerland.

Drastic changes to the world order like the Great Reset do not happen spontaneously; rather, they are designed by global policy makers, including influential billionaires, politicians, celebrities, biased academics, wealthy philanthropists, and the bureaucrats of international organizations and institutions. These types of people support social engineering, because it will enable them to acquire control over the world’s wealth and natural resources, and strengthen their ability to shape society as they see fit."

Texas's Gov. Abbott blocks and breaks that gargantuan incoming caravan

American Thinker 

What we see here is an amazingly good creative effort, by two governors, to keep life normal, and illegal migrant disorder away from Texas.  The Coahuila governor keeps cross-border trade in his home state.  The Texas governor is spared the expense and mess of yet another border surge inundating his state.  This has a rather interesting echo of how President Trump used to deal with Mexico — with direct force and action — shutting down the border until Mexico agreed to play ball on the "remain in Mexico" pact.

For Texans, this has to be a relief.  There's not a thing Joe Biden can do to stop this, and the caravan itself will be diminished in its impact with a simple solution that seems to be working, at long last getting home the message that lawlessness has some consequences for lawbreakers, too.  Joe Biden could have done this, but he didn't.  If a solution can't be done through Biden, well, Abbott and his Mexican counterparts will show how this is done.  Kudos to Abbott."
