CONGRESSIONAL DEMOCRATS PLAN to unveil legislation expanding the size of the Supreme Court on Thursday, according to three congressional sources familiar with the closely held measure.
The bill would add four seats to the high court, bringing the total to 13 from the current nine. The bill is led by House Judiciary Committee Chair Jerry Nadler, subcommittee Chair Hank Johnson, and first-term Rep. Mondaire Jones. In the Senate, the bill is being championed by Ed Markey of Massachusetts.
NYP notes FDR's strategy... Dems aren't even vying for that, but flat-out overreaching for the power grab!
Republicans and legal purists decry the idea as “court-packing” and say it will undo the court’s historical insulation from politics.
Biden previously opposed adding seats.
In the 1930s, President Franklin D. Roosevelt unsuccessfully sought to expand the court after conservative justices ruled against some of his New Deal policies.
I hope they run on this next year. So bad. Because I believe it will be a political bloodbath in the House and the Senate with Republicans taking them both back in good numbers.
As I’ve pointed out before, both Manchin and Sinema oppose expanding the Supreme Court and getting rid of the filibuster. Short of a few Republican traitors joining the ranks of Democrats on a bill like this, it doesn’t stand a chance of passing.
Which makes it even more ridiculous that Democrats would even introduce it and politically risk so much before next year’s election.
But hey, more power to them. The polls clearly indicated last year that this is a big fat loser.
This should be unquestionably fended off, but it should also bite'em in the ass come the 2022 midterms (if we can count on free & fair elections).
There's no end to the Left's hypocrisy. We should all be quite familiar with that by now, whether it's who to save versus who to slaughter, or from gender to viral denials of science, the propaganda machine formerly known as news allows the authoritarian socialists formerly known as democrats to bend and break while calling it the right thing to do.
So the latest is to rail against any notion of voter identification on the one hand, using Georgia as a punching bag (because, you know, they already cheated twice to win that state, so they're supposed to own it now; and apparently certain demographics are clueless on how to obtain ID, even though they already have it), while on the other hand, they're beginning to rev up the demand for all to start showing your vax passport (note: an ID... "show us your papers!" ...pretty sure they were against that just a few short years ago as it pertained to proving legal immigration status). They say the first is for liberty, while the latter if for safety. Neither could be further from the truth. Obliviously racist on the frontend, and borderline communist on the back is probably a more accurate assessment.
Here's Team-Left's latest game, and subsequent backfire in a sane world...
When it comes to carrying identification, democrats are simply hypocrites.
While they largely oppose Georgia’s new election law requiring voter identification, dubbing it “racist,” many on team-left are gung-ho on creating a “vaccine passport” despite the actual vaccine hesitancy in black communities.
As reported by The Federalist, the Biden administration is supposedly working with private tech companies to create vaccine passes for Americans to use as proof that they’ve received the COVID-19 vaccine.
These “passports” will be required in order to gain access to certain services, like concerts or large gatherings.
While some states, like New York, are all for the idea, others, like Florida, have already taken swift action to denounce it due to privacy concerns and manipulation into participation in “normal society.”
These concerns, however, have not stopped a slew of other initiatives by organizations like the WHO and IBM from pushing for the collection of vaccination information in order to “return to normal.”
Meanwhile, team-left is spewing outrage against Georgia now requiring voter ID.
Democrats, activist groups and the mainstream media have cried racism, urging the law as a republican push to marginalize black voters. They claim that provisions in the new law – like requiring proof of identification with mail-in ballots, limiting the acceptance of absentee ballots to 11 days prior to the election and banning third parties using goods and gifts to appease voters at a polling place – make it more difficult for minorities to vote.
Even Joe Biden called it a “blatant attack on the right to vote, the Constitution and good conscience.”
“It’s Jim Crow in the 21st Century,” he said in a tweet.
However, the real racism exists within the idea of a vaccine passport.
Democrats have shown an overwhelming lack of concern that a passport would disproportionately discriminate against communities with high levels of vaccine hesitancy. While it is shrinking, there are still groups – like black Americans – that have high percentages of people who do not plan to be inoculated.
According to a recent Kaiser Family Foundation poll, only 55 percent of black adults said they received or planned to receive their vaccine.
Keeping this in mind, a passport could automatically exclude people from certain minority groups from getting back to semi-normalcy.
So, which form of identification is truly the racist one? The answer seems pretty clear.
Piggybacking off of that perspective, Brandon Tatum asks, "Now who's the real racist?" as white libs seemingly can't wrap their heads around normal, responsible black folks with equal opportunities, oy...
Meanwhile, the satirical BabylonBee has had a field day over the past few weeks with the Left's double standards and foolishness on all of this... 😆
With a few headlines moving beyond satire that I honestly wouldn't put past these pinkos...
No matter how hard the media tries to cover up Biden's mistakes, the truth about the border crisis is going to come out. ~ WJLive, 3/31/21
I haven't had nearly enough time to address this ('cause some folks work for a living to pay for all the taxes and handouts!), but there's no exaggerating that what the current illegitimate administration has done to decimate the country, not simply in dismantling Trump's accomplishment, but primarily in erasing the country's gains in a mere couple of months is beyond outrageous and could be irreparable if allowed to proceed at this pace over the next four years. Just one stark example of this erasure is the growing border crisis and the gross denial of maintaining our national sovereignty through a system of orderly, lawful immigration. Those words fall on deaf ears among the left, simply because it's another strategy...
Owens was right last week when she said that 'this is a border plan' with the purpose of importing Hispanics as Democrats' 'next victim voters'.
And with just a rough following of the border crisis, or what some might even call a super-spreader event, nothing about this could possibly be viewed as positive for the U.S. ...
I visited the AZ border yesterday. You can see giant gaps in fence- it’s ridiculous it’s 95% done & won’t be completed. This is a problem created by Biden’s administration--stopping construction weakens effectiveness of the fencing structure and the technology. It makes no sense. pic.twitter.com/aiB2bdOx8r
For a side-by-side comparison, the first photo is from my trip to the border in 2019--the second is from today. Plenty of space to walk around and safely spread out. Tell me this isn’t a crisis. https://t.co/ING6lsNYorpic.twitter.com/ujQXNxkQKD
I was out with Border Patrol last night in McAllen, TX. There's no question the border is OPEN. America welcomes legal immigrants from all over the world, but this is out of control illegal immigration. This has to stop now. pic.twitter.com/k6IfXdzaz9
Border Patrol is overwhelmed, overworked, & discouraged by new policies. Agents took us through a dangerous path to the Rio Grande where we could hear the Cartel members taunting us across the river. Human trafficking, child abuse, & drug smuggling are rampant. This is a crisis.
How far is Joe Biden going to stop the American people from seeing inside the Donna CBP facility?
Biden sent a political operative from DC to block our cameras and even threatened another senator to obstruct legitimate congressional oversight. pic.twitter.com/vHT2U7Nh1z
A recently released poll reported a significant drop in Biden's approval ratings on illegal immigration.
...but that doesn't matter, and neither does the integrity of our sovereign nation or the security of its citizenry. They've proven that over and over again (of particular note, November's fraudulent election). All for Party justifies the means to an end. And the seizure of power at the expense of, well, everything ultimately, will certainly reach that abyss, because it won't be America anymore... just another overpopulated, underperforming, broke-ass country.
"...we hear so-called experts on TV warning that social distancing, masks, and other restrictions will still be necessary after people are vaccinated! All indications are that those in power have no intention of allowing Americans to live normally - which for Americans means to live freely - again." ~ Scott Atlas, Imprimis, February 2021
I can keep watching this over and over again... evisceration!
...and so deserving. It is just theater at this point. How can I say that? Science and facts...
All during the coronavirus situation, masked reporters masking reality have noted, enthusiastically, every mortality milestone reached during the past year. Now it’s “500,000 Americans have died of COVID-19!” which certainly is an attention-getter. It’s also profound COVIDiocy, writes an ex-medical examiner with more than 30 years experience in death investigation. The number isn’t even remotely accurate.
You can imagine how many death certificates I’ve seen in my career, but you can’t imagine the number of death certificates that are being fraudulently tallied in this current pandemic. Someone in some bureaucrat’s office decided that if COVID appears anywhere on a death certificate, it is counted as a COVID death, even if it isn’t. If COVID is on the Immediate Cause line, it is clearly a COVID death. If it is on the first Due To line, it might be a COVID death in a person with a significant comorbidity. If it is on the second or third Due To line, it may or may not have a role in the death, but if it appears in the Other Significant Conditions line, it is not a COVID death, yet it is being counted as one. An example is the fellow who crashed his motorcycle and tested positive for COVID. This is fraud masquerading as science.
In reality, it has long been apparent that the China virus death numbers are cooked. We know this based not only on the testimony of those who’ve witnessed the shenanigans, but also via reason’s application.
So what is the actual China virus death toll? McGowan writes that “when the publicly advertised number hit 200,000, there was speculation that the actual number could be as low as 10 or 12 thousand.” Adjusting that for the current 500,000 mortality number yields a figure of 25 or 30 thousand.
McGowan says that he’d love to evaluate every death certificate in the nation so that we could know for sure. But I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for transparency.
After all, politicians have justified their destructive, onerous lockdowns partially by citing artificially high mortality figures. So what would happen if they admitted that there were “only,” let’s say, for argument’s sake, 30,000 COVID deaths per “cold” season, making the disease comparable to the flu? They’d first, of course, have to relinquish the emergency powers they’ve seized using corona fears.
More significantly, though, what would happen to their political careers if they admitted that they ravaged the economy and people’s lives, and caused death, all based on an illusion?
And you can absolutely see politics at play when John Kerry is excused for not wearing his mask to read a book on a commercial airliner, but shear outrage when Ted Cruz dares to drink his coffee without a mask on a similar flight? C'mon, man! We've all learned that the virus ceases to exist when we eat or drink (eyeroll). And I shouldn't even have to mention the flood of illegal aliens pouring across the border creating a super-spreader event, right? Political Hypocrisy 101, folks. As long as they're socially distanced, I guess! I'll end my sarcasm, and just defer to the beautiful Bee's...
There's truth in laughter... and recognizing the real aim of it all: CONTROL.
Disclaimer: At no time have I said the virus isn't real. I had it, my whole family had it... brought into our home by our most avid mask wearer... how ironic.
“Someone has to contend with him and show him that his edicts are not based on science,” and he’s apparently more than happy to be that “someone.”
For example, how many people watching this program have walked into a restaurant, put their mask on for ten feet and seen 400 people look up at you who are all not wearing their mask, all in an enclosure, breathing? Do you think those ten steps of wearing your mask meant anything? That’s non-science. That basically is someone expressing some sort of form of civility, but has nothing to do with science.
You’re on the airplane, you wear a mask, you’re sitting this far from people. And then they say when you get off, we’re going to get off six feet apart now. I have been sitting next to some guy three inches from me the whole time. But now we’re going to use science. And he has to go six feet in front of me to get off the plane. None of this is based in science.
It’s all emotionalism. And we’re going to be here forever if we keep listening to these people. The simple fact is if you’ve been vaccinated, and you’re two weeks out from your second one, throw your mask away and do what you want, because Dr. Fauci is overkill on all of this.”
Leftists and others frozen in the pandemic fear lost their collective minds today when not one but TWO states said it's time to get back to business! Mind you, at no time did either Abbott nor Reeves state that masks can't be worn or businesses can't set their own restrictions; in fact, they both said that was still fine. What they did say to the dismay of socialist Democrats and fellow conformists, who'd have us locked down forever until they rigged everything, is that it's not up to government to keep you in an indeterminate stasis, that your liberty is restored to make your own life decisions, particularly now that the vaccines are in place and have been administered among vast swathes of the populace. Oh, the horror! Once again, the alarmist reactions really give you a glimpse of leftism's hold over us through its medium and it's dereliction of true individual freedom to secure some unAmerican notion of democracy...
-More than 7 million vaccinations will be given by next week. -We do about 1 million a week. -We gave 216,000 shots today alone. -More than 50% of the seniors will be vaccinated. -Hospitalizations & the positivity rate are lowest in 4 months. -All Texans know the safe practices. https://t.co/meJXrhcxnC
Starting tomorrow, we are lifting all of our county mask mandates and businesses will be able to operate at full capacity without any state-imposed rules. Our hospitalizations and case numbers have plummeted, and the vaccine is being rapidly distributed. It is time!
We’ve been among the 4 or 5 most open states throughout this crisis, and we’ve been rewarded for it with more jobs and economic recovery. That’s not because what we put in place was a light burden. It’s only because the rest of the country was so harsh. That’s good, but...
We need to recognize that none of these orders, in any state, are anything short of unprecedented. They have to end at the earliest possible moment. This is that moment for Mississippi.
Though these southern states have finally started reversing such draconian measures, it should be noted that there was a plains state that held steady through this, weathering the storm, honoring appropriate authority and trusting her people...
Oops, sorry, I'm giving statistics and science that can only be followed if it conforms to a particular political narrative.
Let's hope other states join in, and we finally get off this curvy rollercoaster that some might argue is why the damn thing has dragged on for this long in the first place!
Great weekend at CPAC. Just wanted to briefly highlight THE highlight...
Former President Trump took to the stage at CPAC 2021 pushing back on the Democrats calling them anti-job anti-science, anti-family, anti-borders, and anti-women. Highlighting Biden’s reversals of his most successful policies. ~ MLS, 3/1/21
Great speech, but if you have limited time, start it just before the 59min mark... FIRE from there on out!
Named every single ONE of those RINO turncoats who tried to impeach him. Forming a PAC to cut out that internal cancer and actually unify the party, installing conservative Republicans, tackling election integrity, and stopping the ruinous Dem policies. It is sickening how the media propagandists frame totalitarian efforts by the Democrats to override the Founders' ideals of liberty with their modern, skewed notions of democracy, but we must read their destructive perspectives to know what we're up against. Trump mentioned a few worth checking out, here and here.
Also, some poll results to make Praetorian media heads spin...
NEW — Former President Donald Trump, Florida Gov. @RonDeSantisFL win @CPAC straw poll.
Nearly 7-in-10 CPAC attendees said they want to see Trump run for president again in 2024. Just 15 percent said they do not want Trump to run again. https://t.co/INNttfyRju
"The day's gonna come, folks, where I'm not gonna be able to do this. I don't know when that is. I want to be able to do it for as long as I want to do it and I want you to understand that, even when the day comes, I'd like to be here. 'Cause I have this sense of needing to constantly show my appreciation for all that you have done and meant to me." ~ Rush Limbaugh
We knew it was coming, but we still weren't ready. The loan was passed back to the Almighty on Wednesday when Rush Limbaugh succumbed to a year-long battle with stage IV lung cancer. He was 70 years old. Rush's wife Kathryn made the announcement...
President Trump kicked off several interviews honoring a conservative stalwart and a broadcast pioneer...
Our People’s President reflects on his memories of our nation’s voice, Rush Limbaugh.
Among the many, many who joined in throughout the day, and days to come, of course included the Great One...
"I just want him to be remembered the way he should be remembered. A tremendous patriot of this country who refused to accept the attacks that came against this country from within. He refused to accept the ideological changes in this country. He defended the traditions of this country, and he spoke for tens of millions of us and, you know, I've met a lot of smart people in my life, dealt with a lot of smart people, never smarter than Rush, never wiser, and never kinder."
"Look, I'm not a psychologist, I'm not a mind reader, but I feel certain he would say, particularly to the young people today, 'Defend your country. Fight for your country. Speak out in smart ways. Learn the true history of your country. Many men and women have come before and died for this country. Don't be devoured by the neo-statist, neo-marxist left.' He would want others to carry the flag. He knew that the world didn't end with him, as we know the world doesn't end with each of us. He would want us all, ALL, to carry on and to save this great country and defend this great country. I'm telling you, I know that for certain. And he will be grievously missed."
Mark also shared a special tribute to the great El Rushbo on LevinTV (sounds as if Sunday's Life, Liberty & Levin will similarly reflect on Rush's lasting impact)...
Rush was a pioneer and leader in American media and the talk radio industry. He was a great patriot who loved our country, conservative ideals, and most of all, you the viewers.
Conservative columnist, author, attorney and younger brother, David Limbaugh, managed to muscle through a tweet about his dear brother...
Im not ready to speak yet but I Im so proud of my amazing, loving brother. Thousands of you have shared how much he meant to you. My brother was the real deal. I can’t describe how sad I am but also how proud I am of my big brother. I love and adore you Rush. Thank you all.
By Friday, he began responding to the many expressions of sympathy, prayers, appreciation and love for Rush.
Also, Rush Limbaugh Show long-time producer James Golden (a.k.a. 'Bo Snerdley') honored his late friend and colleague on Hannity...
"Rush, to me, is a second-generation Founding Father. This went beyond radio; this went beyond politics. What Rush did for America, one man, changed so many trajectories in this country."
"Rush Limbaugh was one of the finest human beings that you would ever want to meet. A generous, wonderful, beautiful spirit. Humble, a gentlemen always. Never failed to thank people for the smallest service they could do for him. Never looked down on people."
His charity was nearly boundless, and in some cases you may not have even known it, as recently revealed by country music star John Rich following the news of Rush's death, telling a 10-year-old secret story about Rush helping kids with cancer. And there are many, many more like it.
The Good Lord really did break the mold with this irreplaceable servant, who will be sorely missed.
We can all recall that first time we heard Rush. Mine was as a boy riding down rural roads with my grandfather decades ago. But let me leave this post with Rush's final radio broadcast on February 2nd...
His final words on his radio show were, “Well, my friends, that’s it. Yet another excursion into broadcast excellence in the can. Enjoyed being with you today, always do. And look forward to the next time. Thanks to Mark Steyn who has been in standby mode all day. Wasn’t sure I was going to be able to go today and then each hour I had to assess. But we made it. Thank you Mr. Steyn. See you all next time.”
ADDENDUM: Jeffrey Lord published an excellent Farewell and thank you piece about Rush on Saturday entitled, Rush: The Substance And Music Of Conservatism, that's well worth the read, and this excerpt really stuck out for me...
As the Clinton era dawned at the end of 1992, Rush received this letter out of the blue:
“Rush,
Thanks for all you’re doing to promote Republican and conservative principles. Now that I’ve retired from active politics, I don’t mind that you have become the Number One voice for conservatism in our Country.
I know the liberals call you ‘the most dangerous man in America,’ but don’t worry about it, they used to say the same thing about me. Keep up the good work. America needs to hear ‘the way things ought to be.’
Sincerely, Ron”
Ronald Reagan knew a conservative leader when he saw one...
Yep, Reagan knew it, as did Trump. Rush exuded conservatism in context towards our better understanding and ultimately truth...
Critical to Rush was context. He wrote this in his last “Limbaugh Letter”:
“I’ve never forgotten for a moment that one of my self-assigned duties as your host is to unravel what the drive-by media is saying or ignoring. I provide critical context and background that the media either suppresses or lies about. I make the complex understandable. I can tell you in a few minutes what The New York Times tries to lie about in five pages.”
Exactly. That is just what Rush did. Context, context, context.
His legacy will be carried forward by his close friends and principled conservatives of the day. As for the legend himself, we'll nonetheless miss him. We're forever grateful to you, Rush. Farewell and Thank You, sir!
At CPAC 2021, the absence of that golden voice was everywhere. There in person, here watching online, across the country, Americans miss the voice and leadership of Rush Limbaugh.
His presence is still here, though, in the way that wisdom and example remain when a larger than life figure has passed. Present, absent, in our thoughts, influencing our movement, Limbaugh is a force that persists and will continue.
At CPAC, before President Donald Trump’s speech, they showed this exceptionally well done and remarkable tribute to Rush. It’s not just a memorial to the man, it’s a reminder of how right he is, how right he’s been. It lays out his life, but also his reasoning. His achievements and also America’s.
It’s truly worth watching and then watching again and then watching again. Thanks to Right Side Broadcasting for producing the shareable version so quickly.
I feel that lump in my throat. But also fire in the belly. And let me say, as we are all thinking: DITTO.
Presidents' Day seems rather early this year, as it was originally celebrated for our first and greatest, but over time has become a time set aside to honor all those who've served as America's Commander-in-Chief, whether honorably or otherwise. That being said, I'm always struck that it seems more Providential than anything that Presidents' Day resides within the month of not just the best's birth, but that of three of America's greatest presidents' birth: Washington, Lincoln and Reagan. So it is with this divine coincidence that we celebrate the day with quotes from these historic American leaders.
“In politics as in philosophy, my tenets are few and simple. The leading one of which, and indeed that which embraces most others, is to be honest and just ourselves and to exact it from others, meddling as little as possible in their affairs where our own are not involved. If this maxim was generally adopted, wars would cease and our swords would soon be converted into reap hooks and our harvests be more peaceful, abundant, and happy.”
"The foundation of our Empire was not laid in the gloomy age of Ignorance and Superstition, but at an Epoch when the rights of mankind were better understood and more clearly defined, than at any former period, the researches of the human mind, after social happiness, have been carried to a great extent, the Treasures of knowledge, acquired by the labours of Philosophers, Sages and Legislatures, through a long succession of years, are laid open for our use, and their collected wisdom may be happily applied in the Establishment of our forms of Government."
"Government is not reason, and it is not eloquence; it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master: never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action."
"It appears to me, then, little short of a miracle, that the Delegates from so many different States (which States you know are also different from each other in their manners, circumstances and prejudices) should unite in forming a system of national Government."
“However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.”
"The Citizens of the United States of America have a right to applaud themselves for having given to mankind examples of an enlarged and liberal policy: a policy worthy of imitation. All possess alike liberty of conscience and immunities of citizenship. It is now no more that toleration is spoken of, as if it was by the indulgence of one class of people, that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights. For happily the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens, in giving it on all occasions their effectual support."
"The Constitution, which at any time exists, till changed by an explicit and authentic act of the whole People, is sacredly obligatory upon all."
"The blessing and protection of Heaven are at all times necessary but especially so in times of public distress and danger. The General hopes and trusts that every officer and man will endeavor to live and act as becomes a Christian soldier, defending the dearest rights and liberties of his country."
"I now make it my earnest prayer that God would… most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility, and pacific temper of the mind which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion."
February 12, 1809 - Abraham Lincoln (Sixteenth President, 1861-1865)
"The world has never had a good definition of the word liberty, and the American people, just now, are much in want of one. We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men's labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name -- liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names -- liberty and tyranny."
"The prosperity of the United States is not the result of accident. It has a philosophic cause. Without the Constitution and the Union, we could not have attained the result; but even these are not the primary cause of our great prosperity. There is something back of these, entwining itself more closely about the human heart. That something, is the principle of "Liberty to all"—the principle that clears the path for all—gives hope to all—and, by consequence, enterprise and industry to all."
These communities, by their representatives in old Independence Hall, said to the whole world of men: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." This was their majestic interpretation of the economy of the Universe. This was their lofty, and wise, and noble understanding of the justice of the Creator to His creatures. Yes, gentlemen, to all His creatures, to the whole great family of man. In their enlightened belief, nothing stamped with the Divine image and likeness was sent into the world to be trodden on, and degraded, and imbruted by its fellows. They grasped not only the whole race of man then living, but they reached forward and seized upon the farthest posterity. They erected a beacon to guide their children and their children's children, and the countless myriads who should inhabit the earth in other ages. Wise statesmen as they were, they knew the tendency of prosperity to breed tyrants, and so they established these great self-evident truths, that when in the distant future some man, some faction, some interest, should set up the doctrine that none but rich men, or none but white men, were entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, their posterity might look up again to the Declaration of Independence and take courage to renew the battle which their fathers began -- so that truth, and justice, and mercy, and all the humane and Christian virtues might not be extinguished from the land; so that no man would hereafter dare to limit and circumscribe the great principles on which the temple of liberty was being built.
"Let it [the Constitution] be taught in schools, seminaries and in colleges; let it be written in primers, in spelling books and in almanacs; let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, enforced in courts of justice. In short, let it become the political religion of the nation."
February 6, 1911 - Ronald Reagan (Fortieth President, 1981-1989):
"The Founding Fathers established a system which meant a radical break from that which preceded it. A written constitution would provide a permanent form of government, limited in scope, but effective in providing both liberty and order. Government was not to be a matter of self-appointed rulers, governing by whim or harsh ideology. It was not to be government by the strongest or for the few. Our principles were revolutionary. We began as a small, weak republic. But we survived. Our example inspired others, imperfectly at times, but it inspired them nevertheless. This constitutional republic, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal, prospered and grew strong. To this day, America is still the abiding alternative to tyranny. That is our purpose in the world -- nothing more and nothing less."
“Ours was the first revolution in the history of mankind that truly reversed the course of government, and with three little words: 'We the people.' 'We the people' tell the government what to do, it doesn't tell us. 'We the people' are the driver, the government is the car. And we decide where it should go, and by what route, and how fast. Almost all the world's constitutions are documents in which governments tell the people what their privileges are. Our Constitution is a document in which 'We the people' tell the government what it is allowed to do. 'We the people' are free."
"I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There's a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts."
"The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of these United States are covenants we have made not only with ourselves, but with all mankind. Our founding documents proclaim to the world that freedom is not the sole prerogative of a chosen few. It is the universal right of all God's children”
"Now I realize it's fashionable in some circles to believe that no one in government should encourage others to read the Bible. That we're told we'll violate the constitutional separation of church and state established by the Founding Fathers and the First Amendment. The First Amendment was not written to protect people and their laws from religious values. It was written to protect those values from government tyranny."
"Without God, there is no virtue because there's no prompting of the conscience. And without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure. If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under."
May we learn more day by day from the wisdom of these great men, wisdom undoubtedly drawn from and reflective of the Word...
“For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.”
— Isaiah 33:22 KJV (The three branches of government reflected in the divine words spoke by the Hebrew prophet Isaiah)
”Moreover choose able men from all the people, such as fear God, men who are trustworthy and who hate a bribe; and place such men over the people as rulers of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens.”
— Exodus 18:21 RSV
The second show trial of Donald Trump has come to an end. ...
The House impeachment managers folded Saturday morning and backed off witnesses after Trump’s legal team announced that Speaker Pelosi would be called in to testify.
The Democrats went straight to closing arguments because they have no case and they wanted to protect Nancy Pelosi.
Trump’s legal team absolutely destroyed the Democrats this week when they plated a video montage of Democrat lawmakers inciting violence against Trump supporters.
The coup-toppled president issued a statement immediately following this unprecendented, unconstitutional and costly impeachment SHAM...
Trump issued a statement almost immediately, bashing the “witch hunt”, highlighting the many MANY hypocrisies and double standards America has witnessed by Democrats and the media through these proceedings, and promising to stay with Americans through the work ahead.
The real conviction here was of Democrats and the media. They convicted themselves.
So now there's more than a few things that should be clear.
First, we've known that every single Democrat hypocrite in office is unreliable in every way, but we now know precisely which Republicans should be thrown the hell out of office. Not only do they need to be stripped of any and all committee memberships now, but they simply MUST BE PRIMARIED in the coming months and years, period!

We well know that these are not all the turncoats and go-alongs who need to go (uhum, McConnell), but this is the list to absolutely start with during the next few years of primary seasons. A must, folks, an absolute MUST.
Secondly, the numerous court cases related to the massive fraudulence that took place in the 2020 presidential election throughout multiple states MUST press on, regardless of the media's participation or obfuscation...
The media in the United States is no longer interested in the truth. They are corrupted beyond belief. They used to be biased, now they are clearly dishonest. ...
When looking at the number of cases related to the 2020 Presidential election that were decided on merits, there were only 21 cases decided so far. Of these cases, President Trump won 14. The President won 14 of 21 cases decided on merits which is two-thirds of the cases.
What the media doesn’t tell you and omits from their reporting is their greatest lie.
According to a list of all 2020 election cases related to President Trump found at the following link here:
The report as of February 4th, 2021 shows:
There are 80 court cases to date based on the 2020 election
In 28 cases President Trump was/is the plaintiff
In 48 cases President Trump was/is not the plaintiff
In 4 cases President Trump is the defendant
21 of these cases have been decided on merits
Of the 21 cases decided on the merits, President Trump won 14 of them or two-thirds of the cases
25 cases remain active
It is horrible that the courts have not made the cases related to the 2020 election a priority. The courts’ procrastination in addressing these important cases in a timely fashion was, and is, abhorrent.
There are still 25 cases to be decided related to the 2020 election.
It's no longer about holding the office, but about getting to the TRUTH and preventing this travesty from occurring again in a few short years, lest we completely lose our lawful vestige of freedom in a democratic republic known as voting. They want to impeach something? How about we continue with the swamp known as DC?! It's why they hated Trump, and continue to do so, but it's also why we must continue with his mission. It is the only way to insure our liberties.
