A blast from the past:

The good news, to relieve all this gloom, is that a democracy is inherently self-correcting. Here, the people are sovereign. Inept political leaders can be replaced. Foolish policies can be changed. Disastrous mistakes can be reversed.”
— Theodore C. Sorensen

So he said, back in Kennedy’s time.

The trouble, of course is that Sorensen never figured on the Democrats of today. I can’t help but think that he would have been sounding the alarm when he saw the huge number of votes coming in for the moronic Murphy in New Jersey at 11:57 p.m., which is something that has yet to be explained and I doubt it will be.

Alas!, however, that kind of Democrat doesn’t exist in today’s Democrat party. My fear, given the cheat that was successfully implemented in the 2020 election, has been that the Democrats pragmatists that they are will continue using that particular tool indefinitely to remain in power. What we saw in new jersey, and we all saw it, is an indication that my prediction was right on the money.

Having friends in the media doesn’t hurt their cause either. Observe this graphic from election night on MSNBC:

So let me understand this.

MSNBC refuses to call the Virginia race because it’s too close to call, with a 7% Delta between the challengers…. And yet in the case of New Jersey they’ve called it for the Democrat on a less than 1% Delta, when the Secretary of State in New Jersey doesn’t even know how many votes remain to be counted?

Nothing to see here, citizen. Move along.

At what point is something going to be done about Democrat cheating? That’s the question that’s been forming in my mind for about the last month. The thought was certainly amplified by the evidence of law breaking vote stealing that we saw in the case of new jersey.

At what point will America finally get angry enough at what’s been done to it by its government, to take action?

The more that we hear about the events of January 6th and the government’s involvement with that, the more I am firmly convinced that January 6th was a preemptive strike created solely for the purpose of sending a message to those who would dare to oppose liberal Democrats. They knew very well what the reaction of the American people would be to Democrat party policy, and somebody decided to put together a charlottesville-style false flag event to root out some of the organizers.

We know for example that the FBI was involved and in my estimation the FBI doesn’t take unilateral action without someone in the doj either ordering an action or at least sanctioning it.

However that may be, the situation, as a result of the grandstanding on January 6th is that we have people who are less likely to respond to protect their freedoms then they might otherwise have been. If I’m right on my supposition that January 6th was a false flag event (and the evidence is mounting that I am in fact correct) then that part of the plan is going swimmingly for them.

And before you start labeling this a conspiracy theory, remember that everything, and I mean absolutely everything that we were told was only a conspiracy theory… Proved in the end to be the truth.

So with all this as a backdrop, one cannot help but wonder what will the event be that finally pushes the American people over the edge. If not this, what is the event that will cause them to take action? What is the torch and pitchfork moment?

It amazes me that the left has gone from”critical race theory is a right-wing fantasy” to unleashing the FBI on any parent who objects to it being taught in government schools… And the guy who unleashes the FBI on those parents? The father-in-law of someone responsible for spreading CRT. Why isn’t Merrick Garland in jail? Oh, that’s right. Democrats are running things. Forget I asked. The question though is for how long. Parents across the country are finally woken up to what’s happening in government schools and their voices are being heard. This does not bode well for Democrats.

And watching this global climate nonsense in Scotland, it occurs to me how much in the way of fossil fuels got burned flying jets into Scotland. You would think that such a get together would better serve the stated purpose if it was all done virtually, online.

We still have people stranded in Afghanistan. Funny how you haven’t heard anything about that.

From my favorite North of the Border Blogger SDA:

robbystarbuck – The New Jersey state senate president (D) is about to lose to a Republican truck driver who spent less than $200 on his campaign. What an amazing story.

With the Delaware Dimwit’s war on the American worker, a job just might come in handy.

So the race that everyone was watching was the Virginia governor’s race.

Yes the 50,000 McAuliffe votes that appeared at 10:57pm is interesting, and is suggestive that there is still cheating going on on behalf of Democrats. Given the links to the clintons, that should be no surprise at all.

Probably has something to do with the problems in Fairfax county, (wow, what a shock!) …which it is claimed to have something to do with outdated memory cards.

Interesting though that that happened in one of the few counties in Virginia that the Democrat actually won. Also interesting that the problems were not reported by the board of elections there, but by McAuliffe’s campaign.

I will label the Republicans in Virginia fools if they don’t investigate what happened in Fairfax county, particularly with the Republican win because they now have the ability to mount such an investigation.

The leftists are in the process of melting down on this one. Amongst other bogus claims, they are saying that the election was about critical race theory, white backlash and so on.

Yeah, sure. Virginians vote for a black female for lieutenant governor, and Hispanic attorney general because they’re all a bunch of racists.

As an indication of just how bad things are for the Democrats, mega moron Phil Murphy is about to go down in flames in New Jersey. That’s barring any last minute “found” votes, of course.

There are two means by which you can go from having 81 million votes to put you in the office of POTUS. First, you really didn’t get any 1 million votes or two, you’re the worst president ever, or as a bonus, three, both.

Friend Billy Beck mentions yesterday:

Five hundred and four years ago, this day, modern individualism began with every bang of Martin Luther’s hammer on the door at All Saints’ Church, Wittenberg, Germany.

I was quick to point out to his readers that this is an argument that he and I have both been making for years, now. To the point, America, as conceived by the founders, could not have been so conceived absent the work of Martin Luther hundreds of years before.

As fate would have it, an event happened on the same day which I was quick to mention…

And you know, come to think of it, what we have here is a rather interesting juxtaposition… just yesterday, we had the supposed leader of the Free World crap his pants in the midst of an audience with the same Catholic hierarchy that Martin Luther stood up against.

Profiles in courage versus profiles in diarrhea.

Now, you know what happened. The Cardinals in the Catholic church here in America are gathering to decide whether or not Joe Biden will continue to receive communion given his very unchristian stance on abortion.

The pope meanwhile, being a devout communist, recognizes that the interest of Communism is served by Joe Biden continuing to have the bully pulpit in America and so reinforces Biden’s membership in the Catholic Church with this meeting. Apparently, that’s why Biden needed to bypass that bathroom visit.

Yet, understanding how it all came about doesn’t change the questions that the event raises.

Consider the total package, consider everything that we’ve been delivered by this president in just the eight short months that he’s been in office.

In less than a year, the man fell up the stairs, pooped his pants in front of the Pope, and fell asleep at what he deemed a meeting relative to the biggest crisis in our history.

If Trump would have done just one of these things, Mind you, just one, the Democrats would be out for blood. Okay, let’s face it…. they’d be out for blood anyway but you know what I mean.

And certainly the supposed mainstream media would be all over these events and questioning his ability to lead and they would be working tirelessly to end his presidency. But because the guy has a large D after his name….

Conference of Powers at twenty six, still useless after all this years

via Watts Up with That:

America’s climate envoy John Kerry says the COP26 climate change summit in Glasgow is the “last best hope for the world to get its act together”.

The idea is that hundreds of global leaders, not a one of whom has much if any idea how the world’s energy systems work, will come together to agree and order that those systems must be completely discarded and replaced. Currently, all the world economies run mostly on fossil fuel energy; but these political leaders are oh so much smarter than that, so they will order that use of such energy must be reduced and then ended, and associated carbon emissions will of course decline commensurately. These people equally have no idea how or whether the newly-ordered alternative energy systems might work, or how much the new systems might cost when fully implemented. Those things, you see, are mere engineering details, too insignificant to warrant the attention of great potentates. What they do know is, as the magnificent Barack Obama put it in 2008, “this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal. . . .”

Forbes Kerry is COP is our last best hope to save the planet?  I suggest that if Kerry actually believed his dribble he would ground his private jet, and attend COP by teleconference.

Question about Demented Joe from Delaware: will Joey find past the executive restroom to the conference room?

For four and a half years all we heard out of the elite was effectively chanting “F___ Donald Trump”, whereas in majority, Joe and Jane Everyman were singing Trump’s praises. Indeed, they still are. The elitist left kept using every leverage it had including a few illegal ones to secure a position in the white house for Mr Biden, and at least officially they managed to succeed, albeit with large questions about vote fraud still looming.

Fast forward to today, and we see the elite circling the wagons around Joe Biden, while Joe and Jane average are chanting in thunderous majority “F___ Joe Biden” .

Leaving aside the issue of the utter disaster that Joe Biden has been for the Democrat party, an injury to that party which will continue to play large for the next several cycles, the one thing that these events have shown us is that the elitist left doesn’t have nearly the popular support that they tried to make us believe they had.

For generations now, the Democratic party has been trying desperately to paint a picture of everyone outside the party as being out of touch elite. The last roughly 15 years however have taught us that exactly the opposite is true….That the out of touch elite is in fact the Democrat party, and the evidence of this is overwhelming, and increasingly so with every passing week.

Thus are the battle lines drawn, between the elite who believe government should be unlimited and the rest of us is still believe in the Constitution and say that government must be limited.

The answer to the question of how this is going to play in the next several election cycles would normally be obvious, but there’s still the question of vote fraud to be reckoned with.

An observation from a Swedish engineer:

“The notion that a nation can run on sunshine and breezes is worse than delusional.

(Zucker book is trying to claim that this post Lacks context. What it lacks is left-wing lockstep. And that is always welcome here)

People might fall for the idea that we can merrily run on sunshine and breezes, alone, but with a few trillion dollars worth of mythical mega-batteries providing backup for a few minutes, when the sun sets and the wind stops blowing.

A two-megawatt windmill is made up of 260 tons of steel that required 300 tons or iron ore and 170 tons of coking coal, all mined, transported and produced by hydrocarbons.

A windmill could spin until it falls apart and never generate as much energy as was invested in building it.”

Eric Florack on October 29th, 2021

So we have Joe Biden who supports abortion and yet claims to be a Catholic meeting with the Pope who openly claims to be communist. This, in the shadow of American clergy getting together to decide whether or not to cut Biden off from communion.

There’s supposedly getting together to discuss such things as poverty climate change and migrants.

It will be interesting to see what happens going forward, but I have to say as a casual observer that the Communists take over of the Roman Catholic churches now complet e. They are now utterly useless both in terms of the practical and the spiritual.

And I casually observe that we now have a fairly decent set of clues as to what transpired regarding the ouster of this predecessor of this pope

It’s almost like total government is the real objective, not solving individual problems.

Eric Florack on October 29th, 2021

I got about halfway through writing something on this topic but then realized after reading Glen Reynolds that I couldn’t say it better so go read this.

Here’s a taste:

Merrick Garland’s nomination to the Supreme Court by President Barack Obama died on base when Republicans refused to take it up. The seat was instead filled by now-Justice Neil Gorsuch. Garland’s consolation prize: becoming President Joe Biden’s attorney general. Yet in nine short months, he’s proved not only unfit to sit on the court but unfit to serve as attorney general. Indeed, his behavior suggests he’s not qualified for any federal position.

Garland’s nomination to the court was always iffy. Libertarians thought his track record was dangerously authoritarian. The trustees of the estate of the late Justice William Brennan, for whom Garland had clerked, inexplicably sealed records having to do with Garland’s time working at the court. And though Garland was touted as a “moderate,” a straight-shooter who could cruise to an easy confirmation, he satisfied neither the Democratic left nor the Republican center.

..

Well, they had him on fire in Congress the other day, and justifiably so. Here’s a taste of that.

Clearly this was an abuse of power on Garland’s part. The object? Removing, by force of law, any descent from the leftist ideology that he espouses. Not unlike the crowd that nominated him to the supreme Court.

There are a number of people asking the question whatever happened to civility in politics. My answer is this;

What happened to civility in politics? Authoritarian types like Merrick Garland.

Eric Florack on October 28th, 2021

In recent discussions resulting from a post of the other day, I was asked what I thought of the insurrection is on January 6th. His words not mine. He went on to suggest that they attacked the government and the Constitution.

My response is here:

Nonsense.

I call them patriots.

Yes,it was an attack on those in government. No question. What you have failed to understand is the Constitution was a limitation on government. The Constitution itself was an attack on government. January 6th was mounted in defense of the constitution, not of the government.

Since Woodrow Wilson the Democrats have been trying to override the constitutional limits on their power. And the ability to steal an election is probably the best indication yet that they’ve succeeded.

Again, I am convinced that January 6th was a false flag operation mounted by democrats and their supporters, and the evidence that they’ve uncovered in the hearing day before yesterday does much to back that point.

I’ll tell you right now that the time is coming very soon indeed when all Americans are going to be forced to choose between supporting the country and the Constitution or supporting its government.

Eric Florack on October 28th, 2021

So they can find the 10-year-old emails of a football coach, but they can’t find Hillary Clinton’s?

Democrats want a police state, and for all appearances have been working toward that end. except that they want to defund the police. How’s that going to work?

As regards Anthony Fauci: the difference between the mainstream media and those poor tortured beagles is that beagles aren’t lap dogs.

And as for PETA, they’re silence on that matter tells me everything I need to know about them.

Eric Florack on October 28th, 2021

Everyone should take the time to read this. Slowly, and patiently, because it’s very important.

From 2001 to 2005 there was an ongoing investigation into the Clinton Foundation. A Grand Jury had been impaneled. Governments from around the world had donated to the “Charity”.

Yet, from 2001 to 2003 none of those “Donations” to the Clinton Foundation were declared. Now you would think that an honest investigator would be able to figure this out.

Look who took over this investigation in 2005, none other than James Comey. Coincidence? Guess who was transferred into the Internal Revenue Service to run the Tax Exemption Branch of the IRS? None other than, Lois Lerner. Isn’t that interesting?
But this is all just a series of strange coincidences, right? Guess who ran the Tax Division inside the Department of Justice from 2001 to 2005? None other than the Assistant Attorney General of the United States, Rod Rosenstein.

Guess who was the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation during this time frame? Another coincidence (just an anomaly in statistics and chances), but it was Robert Mueller.
What do all four casting characters have in common? They all were briefed and/or were front-line investigators into the Clinton Foundation Investigation.

Another coincidence, right?

Fast forward to 2009. James Comey leaves the Justice Department to go and cash-in at Lockheed Martin. Hillary Clinton is running the State Department, official government business, on her own personal email server. The Uranium One “issue” comes to the attention of Hillary. Like all good public servants do, supposedly looking out for America’s best interest, she decides to support the decision and approve the sale of 20% of US Uranium to no other than, the Russians. Now, you would think that this is a fairly straight up deal, except it wasn’t. America got absolutely nothing out of it.

However, prior to the sales approval, none other than Bill Clinton goes to Moscow, gets paid $500,000 for
a one hour speech; then meets with Vladimir Putin at his home for a few hours. Ok, no big deal right? Well, not so fast, the FBI had a mole inside the money laundering and bribery scheme.

Robert Mueller was the FBI Director during this time frame. He even delivered a Uranium Sample to Moscow in 2009. Who was handling that case within the Justice Department out of the US Attorney’s Office in Maryland? None other than, Rod Rosenstein.

And what happened to the informant?

The Department of Justice placed a gag order on him and threatened to lock him up if he spoke out about it.
How does 20% of the most strategic asset of the United States of America end up in Russian hands when the FBI has an informant, a mole providing inside information to the FBI on the criminal enterprise?

Very soon after; the sale was approved. $145 million dollars in “donations” made their way into the Clinton Foundation from entities directly connected to the Uranium One deal. Guess who was still at the Internal Revenue Service working the Charitable Division? None other than, Lois Lerner.

Ok, that’s all just another series of coincidences, nothing to see here, right?

Let’s fast forward to 2015. Due to a series of tragic events in Benghazi and after the 9 “investigations” the House, Senate and at State Department, Trey Gowdy who was running the 10th investigation as Chairman of the Select Committee on Benghazi discovers that Hillary ran the State Department on an unclassified, unauthorized, outlaw personal email server. He also discovered that none of
those emails had been turned over when she departed her “Public Service” as Secretary of State which was required by law. He also discovered that there was Top Secret information contained within her personally archived email.

Sparing you the State Departments cover up, the nostrums they floated, the delay tactics that were employed and the outright lies that were spewed forth from the necks of the Kerry State Department, we shall leave it with this, they did everything humanly possible to cover for Hillary.
.
Now this is amazing, guess who became FBI Director in 2013? None other than James Comey, who secured 17 no bid contracts for his employer
(Lockheed Martin) with the State Department and was rewarded with a $6 million dollar thank you present
when he departed his employer?

Amazing how all those no-bids just went right through at the State Department. Now he is the FBI Director in charge of the “Clinton Email Investigation” after of course his FBI Investigates the Lois Lerner “Matter” at the Internal Revenue Service and he exonerates her. Nope, couldn’t find any crimes there.

In April 2016, James Comey drafts an exoneration letter of Hillary Rodham Clinton, meanwhile the DOJ is handing out immunity deals like candy.They didn’t even convene a Grand Jury! Like a lightning bolt of statistical impossibility, like a miracle from God himself, like the true “Gangsta” Comey is, James steps out into the cameras of an awaiting press conference on July 5th of 2016, and exonerates Hillary from any wrongdoing.

Do you see the pattern?

It goes on and on, Rosenstein becomes Assistant Attorney General, Comey gets fired based upon a letter by Rosenstein, Comey leaks government information to the press, Mueller is assigned to the Russian Investigation sham by Rosenstein to provide cover for decades of malfeasance within the FBI and DOJ and the story continues.
FISA abuse, political espionage pick a crime, any crime, chances are this group and a few others did it:
All the same players.

All compromised and conflicted.

All working fervently to NOT go to jail themselves.

All connected in one way or another to the Clinton’s.

They are like battery acid; they corrode and corrupt everything they touch. How many lives have these two destroyed?

As of this writing, the Clinton Foundation, in its 20+ years of operation of being the largest International Charity Fraud in the history of mankind, has never been audited by the Internal Revenue Service.

Let us not forget that Comey’s brother works for DLA Piper, the law firm that does the Clinton Foundation’s taxes.
The person that is the common denominator to all the crimes above and still doing her evil escape legal maneuvers at the top of the 3 Letter USA Agencies? Yes, that would be Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Let’s learn a little about Mrs. Lisa H. Barsoomian’s background. Lisa H. Barsoomian, an Attorney that graduated from Georgetown Law, is a protégé of James Comey and Robert Mueller. Barsoomian, with her boss R. Craig Lawrence, represented Bill Clinton in 1998.

Lawrence also represented;
Robert Mueller three times,
James Comey five times,
Barack Obama 45 times,
Kathleen Sebelius 56 times,
Bill Clinton 40 times,
and Hillary Clinton 17 times.
Between 1998 and 2017, Barsoomian herself represented the FBI at least five times.

You may be saying to yourself, who cares about the work history of this Barsoomian woman? Apparently, someone does, because someone out there cares so much that they’ve “purged” all Barsoomian court documents for her Clinton representation in Hamburg vs. Clinton in 1998 and its appeal in 1999 from the DC District and Appeals Court
dockets. Someone out there cares so much that even the internet has been “purged” of all information pertaining to Barsoomian.

Historically, this indicates that the individual is a protected CIA operative. Additionally, Lisa Barsoomian has specialized in opposing Freedom of Information Act requests on behalf of the intelligence community. Although, Barsoomian has been involved in hundreds of cases representing the DC Office of the US Attorney, her email address is [email protected]. The NIH stands for National Institutes of Health.

This is a tactic routinely used by the CIA to protect an operative by using another government organization to shield their activities. It’s a cover, so big deal right?

What does one more attorney with ties to the US intelligence community really matter?

It deals with Trump and his recent tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum imports, the border wall, DACA, everything coming out of California, the Uni-party unrelenting opposition to President Trump, the Clapper leaks, the Comey leaks, Attorney General Jeff Sessions recusal and subsequent 14 month nap with occasional forays into the marijuana legalization mix and last but not least Mueller’s never-ending investigation into collusion between the
Trump team and the Russians.

Why does Barsoomian, CIA operative, merit any mention? Because she is Assistant Attorney General Rod
Rosenstein’s wife.

All of this leads us to today.

Notice again the reference to the NIH. Now remember I’ve mentioned several times over the last few months Anthony Fauci breathlessly predicting that Donald Trump was going to face a pandemic.

Put the pieces together folks. Do you begin to understand what we’re up against here?
