The Colorado Supreme Court Rules Trump Ineligible for Primary Ballot
On Tuesday the 19th of December 2023, the Colorado Supreme Court bared former President Donald J. Trump from having his name on the 2024 GOP Primary ballot. The unprecedented ruling was issued claiming Trump “instigated” violence at the Capitol on January 6th 2021 as lawmakers were meeting to certify the results of the 2020 election.
The basis for their decision rests in the 14th Amendment,
Section 3 Disqualification from Holding Office, which states,
“No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid and comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each house, remove such disability.”
The key words are “shall have engaged in”. To be clear, that implies an inherent conviction in a court of law. This is not the place for interpretation of whether or not the subject individual may have engaged in insurrection or rebellion. In American jurisprudence, any Defendant is innocent until proven guilty. Even Donald Trump.
This is the procedure you might see in a banana republic, where political opposition is persecuted without recourse. This can not stand in the United States of America. Because he has not been convicted, or even charged with insurrection, the Colorado Supreme Court decision is unconstitutional, denies Trump the constitutional right of due process under the 5th Amendment, and violates 52 U.S. Code § 10307, which states under,
a. Failure or refusal to permit casting or tabulation of vote
“No person acting under color of law shall fail or refuse to permit any person to vote who is entitled to vote under any provision of Chapters 103 to 107 of this title or is otherwise qualified to vote, or willfully fail or refuse to tabulate, count, and report such person’s vote.”
In other words, the COSC has disenfranchised the public voters by denying them the ability to vote for their person of choice based on an unconstitutional ruling. They have interfered with the public’s right to choose their preferred candidate by coercion. If the voters can’t see the name as a candidate, they have been coerced into voting alternatively.
The Origins of the Case
From a Reuters article; [1]
“The case was brought by a group of Colorado voters, aided by the advocacy group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), who argued that Trump should be disqualified for inciting his supporters to attack the Capitol in a failed attempt to obstruct the transfer of presidential power to Biden after the 2020 election.”
CREW’s President said in a statement that the court’s decision “is necessary to protect the future of democracy in our country.”
The Reuters article goes on to say that “some advocates had hoped the Colorado case would boost the overall disqualification effort . . .”
Well, it looks like they may get their hopes granted. There are currently 13 more states considering to ban Trump’s name from their primary ballots; AK, NJ, OR, NM, NV, NY, SC, TX, VA, VT, WI, WV, and WY. We’re about to find out which of those states are as foolish as Colorado, and it makes me wonder if there is someone coordinating this unconstitutional effort. Coincidental ? I don’t believe that for a second. This is a highly organized campaign.
Nothing says “communism” like the radical left-wing Marxist movement. And every time I turn around, it looks like yet another scheme coming from an epicenter on Martha’s Vineyard. He’s got his entire ideological party and his Propaganda Media Complex convinced that Trump must be stopped by ANY means necessary and they know they will get away with anything to do it. Democrats are above the law, period !
Isn’t it ironic how Democrats keep lecturing us on “protecting our democracy” when, in fact, they are doing precisely everything they can to destroy it ?
Then they expect you to believe the absolute nonsense they are spewing from their incredibly deceitful and delusional voice boxes. They are stone cold drunk on “Socialist Kool-Aid”.
Furthermore, there is no charge against Trump for “inciting his supporters to attack the Capitol.” But hey, you’re not supposed to question their accusations over minor details. You are being conditioned to believe everything they say.
Just for the record, Trump actually said to his supporters at the January 6th rally, to go “peacefully and patriotically” protest at the Capitol. That is NOT instigating violence or incitement to riot. The actual events at the Capitol are highly controversial and could be argued at great length some other time.
What Exactly is it that Leftists Hate About Trump ?
When I say “leftists”, I’m referring to that faction of the Democrat Party that is directing every move they make, and don’t make. I’m not talking about the old hippies who grew up influenced by the likes of JFK and Jimmy Carter. Those “traditional liberals” don’t even realize their beloved party has been hijacked by extreme left-wing Marxists Hell-bent on turning America into a communist nation. The only problem with them is they keep voting to their own detriment with blind loyalty influenced by hard-sell propaganda.
What do they hate the most ? Was it:
the booming economy ?
the low inflation ?
the low unemployment across all ethnicities ?
the energy independence that weaned us off foreign oil ?
the secure border that kept illegal immigration at a minimum ?
the lack of unending foreign wars ?
the respect on the world stage that kept adversaries at bay ?
Surely, it can’t be any of those realities. When I asked my liberal wife, she had a hard time coming up with a suitable answer, mainly because she knew I could destroy it in less than 60 seconds, but finally said something like, “I objected to him saying ‘grab her by the pussy’”. OK, so you don’t like him personally for something he allegedly said 15 years before he ran for office to a golfing partner in a locker room setting. What a “thoughtful” answer. And I suspect there are a lot of women who held that against him in 2016 and 2020. Does that really warrant voting against all those abovementioned accomplishments in lieu of a communist agenda ?
Or, is it something more sinister ?
A lot of political pundits believe the Democrats are terrified that Trump will actually “drain the swamp” by exposing the heinous corruption they have been engaged in for the past several decades. That is a plausible explanation. Keep in mind, Democrats like Obama and Biden could easily be found guilty of treason. It doesn’t take a lot of ink to connect the dots when you realize who is at jeopardy and who is orchestrating everything for their own protection.
Whatever the reason(s) may be, it’s incredible how viciously and vigorously the Democrats and their Propaganda Media Complex have attacked Trump and his family business. There is literally nothing they won’t do to keep him from winning the 2024 election. No law will stand in their way. No constitutional protections will prevent him from being legally persecuted right up to Election Day. No vote count will allow it. Which is why I believe with every fiber of my being that they will steal the presidency, again. They have to because their own lives are at stake. Every American should be furious that traitors are destroying America.
We the People demand accountability. The 2024 election is a choice between America and communism. It’s that simple.

Thomas Paine: American Philosopher, & Revolutionary
From 1776 through the formation of The Constitution I helped create America. Now I have returned to help save America. American Patriots must join together, speak out in free and open discussion to fight the “woke” anti-American mob, and further the cause of FREEDOM.
Islam: A Brief History
In the aftermath of 9/11, I was too old to join the military, which I would have done before the smoke cleared, so I decided to find out as much as I could about Islamic jihad. Sun Tzu said “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself, but not the enemy, for every victory gained suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” [1] In other words,, to defeat the enemy, you must know the enemy.
One of the first books I read was Islamic Imperialism by Efraim Karsh. He gave a detailed history of how the “religion” of Islam was founded and what its primary objective is.
In a nutshell, Islam was founded by the Prophet Muhammad (570 AD – 632 AD) and is based on revelations he received from God while meditating in a cave. They came to him over a period of time beginning in 610 AD. These revelations resulted in the Qur’an, Islam’s “holy book”, which consists of 114 surahs, or chapters. It was written a few years after Muhammad died, and the surahs are NOT in chronological order of when/how they were revealed to him. It’s verses do not necessarily flow from one passage to the next in a typical story and often seem disconnected. I mention this because the verses quoted here are not to be considered as “out-of-context”, they are pretty much “stand alone” concepts.
In many ways, the Qur’an resembles the Holy Bible, particularly the Old Testament, using similar phrases, preaching obedience and even condoning violence. I am not a biblical scholar, but I believe the major difference is the Christian Bible preaches that God loves ALL people, whereas the Qur’an demands fealty to Allah, who loves only Muslims and commands them to “fight” all others. Jews and Christians are specifically called “unjust” and are deemed “non-believers” or “infidels”.
Here are a few verses every Muslim should know:
Qur’an 5:51 – “O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for your protectors: they are but protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for protection) is of them. Verily Allah guides not a people unjust.”
Qur’an 2:191 – “And slay them wherever you catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but do not fight them at the Sacred Mosque, unless they first fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith.” (“faith” meaning faith in Islam, or refusal to convert)
Qur’an 8:39 – “And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah altogether and everywhere; (“everywhere” meaning literally EVERYWHERE ON EARTH).
Muhammad, the so-called prophet, started rambling on in the town square of Mecca in 622 AD. Most residents thought he was a nut case and paid him no mind. Seeing that his message wasn’t well received, he took his “act” to Medina with some friends and family members, where he suddenly gathered a following, of about 3,000 Medinans from various tribes and pagan clans. Then he took his little army of loyal devotees on tour, spending the next 10 years murdering, raping, pillaging, kidnapping, and extorting merchants along the trade routes, on a near daily basis. conducting a “join us or die” campaign, while recruiting their sons and marauding the countryside. By the time Muhammad died in 632, the “religion” of Islam had grown significantly, and the concept of jihad had been established, which I will explain in a moment.
The reason I placed the term “religion” in quotes is because it is widely accepted that a “true” Prophet must exhibit righteousness AT ALL TIMES. Considering the behavior that Muhammad himself practiced for 10 years, it’s impossible to call him “righteous”, therefore he must have been a “false” prophet and his early followers were nothing more than criminal gangsters. It’s hard to imagine them as the founders of a legitimate religion. I would say it’s more accurate to describe him as a ruthless megalomaniac who brilliantly predicted he could hide his intentions to conquer the entire globe under the guise of religion. And make no mistake, the primary objective of Islam is to dominate the entire world by literally “slaying” all non-believers. They’ve been doing exactly that for over 1,400 years, continuously. There isn’t a single decade in all that time without at least 10 major Islamic attacks, many of them resulting in expanded territory. It will never stop. When any group conducts war against everyone who refuses to conform to their ideology, all “non believers” are the enemy, and if you are their enemy, they are your enemy.
What is Jihad ?
The method by which Islam spread is known as jihad. Some call it “holy war”, but it is much misunderstood. Islamic scholars want you to believe it simply translates to “struggle or strive”, eliciting sympathy from the observer. They want you to think all the relatively recent terrorist organizations like Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS, and the rest of them, are “radical” factions that give Islam a bad name. They want you to think that all jihadis are radical extremists wielding swords and AK-47s. They want you to think there are only 100,000, or fewer, radicals waging jihad. Nothing could be more deceptive. Deception, by the way, is a Sun Tzu tactic that Islamists use as a fundamental stratagem.
I studied Islam for 15 years and am quite certain I could have earned a Masters degree in Middle Eastern studies had I pursued one. It wasn’t until January 2015, that I saw an article published by the Islamic Supreme Council that was titled something like “Jihad: What it is Not” [2]. In their zealousness to rebuke what many perceived jihad to be, they had a section that revealed what it was. Specifically, they admitted that jihad takes FIVE basic “forms”; by the sword, by the tongue, by the pen, by the hand, and by the heart.
I have likened these “forms” to the formation of a professional sports team.
By the sword is anyone who actively fights. Those jihadis waving swords and AK-47s are akin to the players on the team.
By the tongue is anyone who uses his position to promote Islam. I liken them to the cheerleaders, local announcers, and former players who go on TV to rally the fan base from “pulpits” with microphones.
By the pen is anyone writing about the virtues of Islam, or Islamic scholars, such as the Islamic Supreme Council. I compare them to the local sportswriters and columnists who cover the team.
By the hand is anyone who actively provides material support, or goods and services, or by offering their time to make sure jihad continues. These are the coaches, front office, equipment managers, team trainers, etc., all dedicated to the success of the team.
By the heart, by far the largest group, which is anyone who wants jihad to succeed. These are a pro team’s fans.
Technically, engaging in jihad by any one of those “forms” is a Jihadi, and clearly there are more Jihadis in the world than the Islamic Supreme Council wants you to believe. In fact, I once did an analysis and spreadsheet to estimate the influence of jihad among the world’s populations. You might be surprised to hear that there are not a mere 100,000 or so Jihadis, but actually more like 941 MILLION.
I arrived at that figure by calculating the Muslim populations of every country in the world and assigning a sliding scale of sentiment based on the percentage of Muslim population in comparison to the total populations of each country. Without getting too complicated, essentially, I categorized the sympathy for jihad into five percentages based on the degree of Muslim influence in each country and factored in a degree of fear that is likely prevalent in Muslim dominated countries. Fear being a very real force because in sharia the penalty for apostasy is death. So, a truly peaceful Muslim must carefully guard his honest opinions of Islamic jihad. I conservatively estimated that a fairly significant percentage of Muslims in Muslim dominate countries could be apostates. Conversely, I estimated that a fairly low percentage of Muslims in so-called “free” countries with low Muslim populations were apostatic, meaning most were actual Jihadis by the heart. Each country had a scaled section of their Muslim populations with a distribution in each category and the end result was 941 million Jihadis world-wide, out of a total Muslim population of 1.6 billion Muslims, or nearly 2/3rds of all Muslims. For every “radical” extremist waving an AK-47 and firing rockets at “non-believers”, there are over 9,000 “cheerleaders” celebrating their terrorist attack. Jihadis are not “radical” extremists. They are orthodox Muslims.
But what about all those peaceful Muslims, the ones every woke PC idiot praise as the finest people they ever met ? Surely being the religious folks that they are, must be aware of this verse: Qur’an 4:95 – “Not equal are those believers who sit at home and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah has granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit at home.”
In other words, those “by the sword” Jihadis are first class Muslims; “passive” Jihadis waging the struggle ”by the pen, the tongue, the hand, and the heart” are second class Muslims, and the only Muslims remaining by deduction, those truly peaceful apostate Muslims are LOWER than second class Muslims. One would think those apostates would denounce Islam if they could. There’s a good chance the ones you may know who have always acted with civility, are either in denial about how Allah views them, or they are deceptively hiding their jihad “by the heart”.
Bythe Tongue Barry
The five “forms” revealed by the Islamic Supreme Council also sold me on the notion that Barack HUSSEIN Obama was a Jihadi. I knew he had to be a Muslim due to the many things he said and the many acts he did to advance the spread of Islam, but I didn’t have the proof I needed to call him a Jihadi. Now I know he has been waging jihad by the tongue since he came to power.
In fact, one little episode basically proves he is both a Jihadi and a traitor.
On October 19, 2011, 57 Muslim organizations signed a letter that was addressed to John Brennan, then Obama’s Chief Counterterrorism Advisor, complaining that Muslims were unfairly profiled by the FBI and Homeland Security. At the time, both agencies had a terrorist watch list of sorts and the Department of Defense was sending officers about to be deployed to the Middle East to an approved course taught by Lt. Colonel Matthew Dooley at the Joint Forces Staff College, wherein they were briefed on what to expect when exposed to those very different cultures. Within 6 months, by the Spring of 2012, the FBI, and Homeland Security were both ordered to scrub their lists of Muslim names and the highly acclaimed Lt. Col. Dooley was ordered to cease and desist conducting his course.
Philip Haney, the former CBP officer who developed the database for Homeland Security, known as Treasury Enforcement Communications System, or TECS, later testified that several terrorist attacks that occurred on U. S. soil, could have been avoided had the watch lists been maintained [3]. It illustrates an instance whereby Obama, Brennan’s only boss and the only man who held direct authority over the DOD, the DOJ, and Homeland Security, deliberately acted to take the spotlight off known terrorists. To “aid and comfort” an enemy against the United States is treason, as defined by 18 U.S. Code § 2381.
The Shameless Media Condemnation of Israel
By now, everyone has been exposed to the non-stop coverage in the news media of the attack by Hamas from Gaza into southern Israel perpetrated on Saturday 7th October. The attack left over 1,300 dead Israelis, many of them women, children and the elderly. Reports of beheaded babies quickly came out, and may now be questionable, but babies riddled with bullets is confirmed. Hamas returned to Gaza City with 203 hostages, including about 20 American citizens. Israel has vowed to eliminate Hamas and has been shelling Gaza ever since, preparing for a ground offensive. U. S. warships have gathered in the eastern Mediterranean under a pledge to assist and rearm the Israelis.
On Monday, 16th October, an Islamic Jihad missile misfired from a nearby cemetery and crashed into the parking lot of a hospital. Hamas immediately blamed hundreds of r on an Israeli airstrike. The mainstream news media, including CNN, and the New York Times, accepted the Hamas story at face value and ran the narrative that Israel had conducted a brutal response. The Arab world is inflamed with rock-throwing “protesters” at western embassies, American college students are shouting pro-Palestinian slogans, and U. S. Congresswoman, Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) took a bullhorn outside the Capitol to incite a crowd into occupying the Cannon Building at the Capitol complex. To put it in a nutshell, anti-Semitism has reared its ugly head and is at a fever pitch.
In less than 24 hours, Israel had completed their investigation of the incident and discovered the explosion was the result of an Islamic Jihad missile misfire, which was rather common, by reviewing drone footage and intercepting a radio message between the two Jihadi groups wherein they were discussing the misfire from the cemetery. But the propaganda message had been effective in projecting anger towards Israel, and tarnished their right to defend their own survival. To conform to the woke culture, you must now sympathize with the “poor innocent” Palestinian civilians, and condemn those evil Israelis. You’re supposed to ignore the atrocities committed by Hamas. That is a thoroughly DISGUSTING stance.
In 2006, Hamas “won” election to govern the Gaza Strip, supposedly with about 66% support of the voters, unless of course the election was rigged. There hasn’t been another vote since. But assuming the election was free and fair, we can say those “poor innocent” Palestinian civilians voted for what they are living through right now. They brought it on themselves. This is where I’ll remind you of the enormous influence of jihad, as I explained above. Nearly 2 out of every 3 Muslims IS A JIHADI. Sure, I feel sorry for those apostates who do not support this “holy war”, or did not vote for Hamas, but such are the casualties of war.
This is War
Yes, this is WAR. This is not a law enforcement operation where Israel is attempting to capture the militants and place them on trial. This is an all-out fight for survival. This tiny democracy of about 7 million people is surrounded by Arab nations vowing to wipe them off the face of the Earth. They are justly entitled to defend themselves by ANY MEANS NECESSARY. Not only are they trying to eradicate Hamas in Gaza, but as I write this, they are under fire on the northern front by Hezbollah from Lebanon. 28 Israeli communities near the border are being evacuated amid sporadic rocket fire. This is Iran’s proxy war and Israel has been warned by Iran that an invasion of Gaza will bring them into the conflict. They are funding it. They have trained the Jihadis and they have supplied the Jihadis with weaponry. If Iran enters the fray, Israel will have no choice but to launch a devastating bombardment of Iran, and they will be justified in doing it.
Do I want to see this conflict escalate ? No, but I’m afraid it’s not going to resolve itself easily. Let’s hope it doesn’t evolve into an even bigger involvement.
The Gaza Operation
Israel has been conducting an air campaign in Gaza since the first days after the Hamas attack. That is Phase One of the operation, to be followed by a ground attack into the city. Urban warfare is extremely dangerous to the troops clearing the streets, door-to-door and floor-to-floor. There will be booby traps, mines, and IEDs all over the place. There will be snipers on upper floors shooting at platoons, abandoning their positions, before being located, and moving to another armed location to shoot more troops. Such is the nature of close quarters combat.
How can Israel minimize their own casualties and effectively eradicate Hamas ?
It’s actually easier than the abovementioned ground campaign. In order to save as many of their own as possible, they should be levelling all buildings in a wide path to the sea to eliminate sniper nests, clear an avenue through the rubble for armored personnel, protect the perimeter, and haul in massive pumps, then flood the tunnel system where Hamas is supposedly harboring with sea water. Any gas that could be exploded is not advisable. The resource is right there at the edge of the city. Unless their 300 mile tunnel system is divided by water-tight bulkheads, water will do the trick. Those that surface from the manholes, and access shafts should be shot on sight. The rest will drown in their own filth. The key is to pulverize the city beforehand in a wide swath, leaving them no good places to lie in ambush. In other words, decimate the enemy with overwhelming force and extreme prejudice.
I hate to say it, but there can be no concern for 200 hostages. Many of them are probably dead already, or wish they were, and with my deepest respect for those families, the hard truth is they are expendable in order to protect IDF soldiers. I cite the Israeli father who said he would rather know his daughter was dead than find out she had been gang raped and tortured. No matter how it plays out, it’s not going to be pretty.
War is HELL. Expect a lot of casualties by collateral damage. It’s virtually necessary to send the message, “phuk around and find out”. Maybe the next militant Islamic jihadi group will think twice before launching such a heinous attack. Yeah right. 1,400 years and counting. There will ALWAYS be a next time. Pray it doesn’t come to your neighborhood.

FACTUAL Evidence the 2020 Election was Stolen
After posting the article titled above a few days ago, I did a little more research to include third party, or other candidates, who may have skewed the data, and wanted to reinforce the claim of a stolen election by testing the results to account for the “Margin of Error” as published by the U.S. Census Bureau. The following data takes all of that into consideration.
If you haven’t read the original article I posted on Saturday 31st August 2023, I suggest you read that first and then return here. You can access the article by clicking THIS LINK.
Focusing on three of the five battleground states for which I listed data in the previous article, it’s evident that numbers published by government sources, presumed reliable, warrant serious scrutiny.
Look at the VOTE TOTALS of these three battleground states:
GEORGIA – 16 Electoral votes
Biden 2,473,633
Trump 2,461,854 4,935,487
Others 64,473
TOTAL VOTES 4,999,960
Biden’s margin of “victory” 11,779
Total Voted 4,888 (thousands)
Margin of Error 2.2%
Total Votes – Margin of Error added 4,999 (thousands)
MICHIGAN – 16 Electoral votes
Biden 2,804,040
Trump 2,649,852 5,453,892
Others 85,410
TOTAL VOTES 5,539,302
Biden’s margin of “victory” 154,188
Total Voted 4,994 (thousands)
Margin of Error 2.2%
Total Votes – Margin of Error added 5,104 (thousands)
PENNSYLVANIA – 20 Electoral votes
Biden 3,459,923
Trump 3,378,263 6,838,186
Others 77,097
TOTAL VOTES 6,915,283
Biden’s margin of “victory” 81,660
Total Voted 6,756 (thousands)
Margin of Error 1.9%
Total Votes – Margin of Error added 6,884 (thousands)
Lines “1” thru “4” are Vote data courtesy of the Federal Election Commission, verifiable at:
Pardon me if I’m dumbing this down too much, but I want to make sure EVERYone can understand it.
Upon opening the website, scroll down to Table 4a, click the link to download a spreadsheet, and open the spreadsheet to see the results.
To calculate the “Total Votes – Margin of Error added” number(s), represented in Line “8”, simply multiply Line “6” by the Margin of Error (Line “7” – ex. 1.022)
It is easy to see that the “Total Voted” numbers, as reported by the Census Bureau (Line “6”) are significantly LESS than the “TOTAL VOTES” counted (Line “4”) in all three states, and are IN ALL CASES, enough to wipe out Biden’s margin of “victory”.
Even if votes are added by maximizing the Margin of Error in each state, the “Total Votes – Margin of Error added” numbers (Line “8”) are still LESS than the TOTAL VOTES (Line “4”) counted. Georgia was still over by about 1,000 votes. Pennsylvania came up with an extra 31,000 votes, and Michigan tabulated an extra 435,000 votes in comparison to the Census Bureau data MAXIMIZED by adding votes.
One caveat that I must mention is that Table 4a includes a statement regarding the Margin of Error that says, “This figure added to or subtracted from the estimate provides the 90-percent confidence interval.”
What are the odds that ALL THREE states were undercounted by the U.S. Census Bureau BEYOND the Margin of Error, “coincidently” vaulting Biden to “victory” by pulling off the hat trick? These 52 Electoral votes would have swung the election to Trump. Any combination of two of these states would have allowed Biden to retain “victory”. He needed a clean sweep of all three to “win”.
It’s not who votes that count, it’s who COUNTS the votes.
Please spread this far and wide. I need to get this FACTUAL data to Trump’s legal team. We can assume the FEC “official” count is not subject to revision. Those are certified results. The defending lawyers should submit the Census Bureau data as evidence and force the Prosecutors in the Georgia case to PROVE that data is wildly inaccurate.

The Deniers Claim it’s “Trump’s Big Lie”
Have you ever wondered how the mainstream media (MSM, i.e., ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, Washington Post, et al) quickly determined that there was NO VOTER FRAUD during the 2020 presidential election and immediately labelled all claims as “Trump’s Big Lie” ?
Remember, during the transition period between Election Day, November 3rd, and January 6th, when the electors were certified by Congress, Trump’s team alleged there were over 1,000 INDEPENDENT witnesses who signed sworn Affidavits under penalty of perjury, that they saw various polling station “irregularities” in at least six battleground states. Texas filed a suit on behalf of those six states that made its way to he Supreme Court, and the Court announced that the case had “no basis” on December 11th 2020. No basis ? They wouldn’t even hear the case.
So We the People are supposed to believe the word of the DNC, proven liars, and ignore the testimony of 1,000 INDEPENDENT affiants. How can they say there is “no evidence” of widespread voter fraud, when they don’t even listen to the witnesses, or investigate it at all ?
Meanwhile, the corrupt DOJ has been “investigating” Hunter Biden for over 5 years, while squashing attempts to release information, and denying the existence of the infamous “laptop from Hell” in the runup to the election, all to protect Quid Pro Joe Biden’s campaign. The FBI had possession of the laptop nearly a year BEFORE the election. They KNEW it existed. They KNEW it was real, and they KNEW what was on it. And something like 20% of Democrat voters when polled, said they would NOT have voted for Biden had they known about that laptop. Can you spell “election interference” ?
The Mueller investigation into Trump’s phony Russian connections took over 2 years. The Horowitz Report that exposed the depth of DNC corruption from Hillary Clinton’s manufactured Russian hoax, and the FBI’s targeting of Trump under their Crossfire Hurricane investigation, took 2 years to complete, and his “bombshell” findings have been ignored. But all of Trump’s voter fraud claims were dismissed and debunked in a few days before ANY investigation could be launched. The difference, is that the DNC and the media had to “run out the clock” in short order, to secure their power by January 6th. Those other probes would be beneficial to the Democrats as long as they could delay the release of any information under the guise of “ongoing investigations”.
We still haven’t found out what really happened in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Arizona, all five battleground states that “coincidently”, all flipped for the Democrats.
Why haven’t some of those 1,000 Affiants stepped forward and told their stories ? Are they all too afraid to speak up ? I recently heard of a case in my hometown that was filed by a Democrat election official claiming his reputation had been defamed by a poll watcher who said he witnessed the plaintiff manipulating machines at a storage facility. The case was thrown out, in the poll watchers favor, but nothing more was said about the circumstances, and no details were provided, other than that which I have anecdotally described above. Typical media reaction, sweep it under the rug. Perhaps he was just one of 1,000 similar stories.
Liars Can Figure But Figures Don’t Lie
Let’s look at the numbers. There were 168,300,000 registered voters in the 2020 presidential election, as estimated by the U.S. Census Bureau. [1]
Reuters posted this article in an effort to debunk online claims by Trump supporters that there were only 133 million registered voters, and if Trump garnered 74 million, there wouldn’t be enough votes left for Biden.
There were 158,429,631 ballots counted for President in 2020; Biden “tallied” 81,283,501 votes, while the incumbent President, Trump, received 74,223,975 votes. Third party and independent candidates accounted for the remaining votes, less than 1% of the total.
OK, so the total vote count WAS less than 168 million, and everything looks “kosher”, right ? Hold on.
They “fact checked” the 133 million figure, eager to discredit the social media claims, and then posted the article, presumably under full approval from their editors, without realizing they were promoting the idea that over 94% of registered voters “turned out” and actually voted. What ??? Wait a minute. Is that plausible ?
Straight from the very source that Reuters cited in their aforementioned article on the number of registered voters, the U.S. Census Bureau, put out a Press Release in April 2021, more than 2 years before the Reuters article, wherein they stated that, “The 2020 presidential election had the highest voter turnout of the 21st century, with 66.8% of citizens 18 years and older voting in the election, according to new voting and registration tables released today . . . “. [2]
In order to fully understand these statistics, we have to dig a little deeper. “In 2020, the U.S. Census Bureau counted 331.4 million people living in the United States; more than three-quarters (77.9%) or 258.3 million were adults, 18 years or older . . . “. [3]
Of those 258.3 million adults, the Census Bureau estimates that 168.3 million, or 65.1% of them were registered voters.
In contrast, there were 158.6 million registered voters in 2016. Hillary Clinton garnered 65,853,625 votes, winning the popular vote, but was defeated in the all-important Electoral College 306-232, by Donald Trump, who collected 62,985,106 votes. That’s a total vote count between those two candidates of 128,838,731, or approximately 81.2% of the registered voters. Libertarian candidate, Gary Johnson, got 3.3% of the vote.
In 2012, there were 153.2 million registered voters. Incumbent Barack Obama was re-elected, collecting 65,915,795 votes, while his opponent, Mitt Romney, secured 60,933,504 votes, totaling 126,849,299 votes between those two candidates, about 82.8% of the registered voters. Others received 1.7% of the vote.
In 2008, there were 146.3 million registered voters. Obama was elected to his first term amid a huge wave of Democratic optimism, collecting 69,498,516 votes, while his opponent, John McCain, secured 59,948,323 votes, totaling 129,446,839 votes, or 88.4% of the registered voters. Others received 1.4% of the vote.
And now we’re supposed to accept, without question, the notion that a candidate who hid in his basement during the entire campaign season, and drew a few dozen supporters to his limited appearances, collected 81 million votes, 16 million more than Hillary Clinton four years earlier. And the enthusiasm for him was much greater than Obama ever generated. Okaaaaaaayyy.
Historically, the 65% to 66% turnout of the entire eligible population is in line, and while it may be possible that media-inspired hatred of President Trump drew voters out from the shadows, increasing the voter turnout from traditionally low 80’s percentages, and 88% in the energetic campaign of 2008, to over 94% participation seems less than plausible.
That’s a pretty high “batting average”. I’m skeptical that 94 out of every 100 registered voters did their civic duty and actually voted, even with mail-in ballots and extended opportunities. It’s not a stretch to assume there were millions of citizens who registered the last time they were at the DMV and simply apathetic when the time came to go through the motions of actually voting.
Looking at it another way, the voter rolls increased by just 9.7 million voters from 2016 (158.6 million) to 2020 (168.3 million), and Trump got MORE than 11 million additional votes than he did in 2016. So where did all those Biden votes come from ? It’s reasonable to challenge the count when the Republican incumbent collected 11 million more votes, and the Democrat candidate claims to have won an additional 16 million votes than his party’s previous candidate, with less than 10 million additional voters. That’s nearly three times the increase in registration. I’m pretty sure you can’t squeeze 27 million more votes out of 10 million more voters.
The Battleground States
The five battleground states that Trump won in 2016 and flipped to Biden in 2020 were; Arizona (AZ), Georgia (GA), Michigan (MI), Pennsylvania (PA), and Wisconsin (WI).
Let’s look at these interesting numbers: Vote data courtesy of CNN [4]

Notice anything peculiar about the vote totals in GA, MI, and PA (in bold red text) ?
According to official U.S. Census Bureau data, the total number of votes cast in those states is LESS than the combined total vote for the two major candidates. How could that be ?
Not only that, but the difference in “extra” votes above the Census Bureau totals, exceeds the margin of victory in ALL THREE STATES, which represent 52 electoral votes. And some of those total votes in the last column were certainly cast for other candidates.
Next time you hear some fraud denier ridicule “Trump’s Big Lie”, ask them how to explain the FACT that there were more combined votes for Biden and Trump than the total votes cast in Georgia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. And don’t forget to mention that those “extra” votes were MORE than the margin of “victory” in all three states.
NOBODY is going to convince me the 2020 election wasn’t stolen, PERIOD !

The Video
Star date 23 Jan 2018: Remember that time Joe Biden appeared at a Council on Foreign Relations discussion and bragged ON CAMERA about withholding a $1 billion aid package in March 2016, unless then-President, Petro Poroshenko of the Ukraine, fired top Prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, who was investigating his son and Burisma ?
Biden was then Vice President of the United States and had been appointed by former President Barack Obama, to oversee foreign policy in Ukraine, while his son, Hunter, was sitting on the board of Burisma Holdings, the largest gas company in the Ukraine.
Towards the end of his story, after setting up the situation and implying that his demand be executed within 6 hours, Biden said, “If he’s not fired, you’re not getting’ the money . . . well, son of a bitch.”
The “fact checkers” claim Biden “leveraged” aid to the Ukraine in an effort to persuade President Poroshenko to oust the Prosecutor as part of an “anti-corruption” program unrelated to his son. Shokin investigated Burisma in 2014. Hunter Biden joined the board of Burisma in 2014, and “served” until 2019.
On 20 July 2023, Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA), released an unclassified FBI Document known as an FD-1023, within which it is claimed by an FBI Informant that then CEO of Burisma, Mykola Zlochevsky, made two $ 5 million payments to “the Bidens” (that’s Hunter and Joe for those in the back), revealed by Zlochevsky in a 2016 meeting with the Informant in Vienna, while Hunter sat on Burisma’s board making $ 50,000 per month.
From a CNN article; “The Informant also claimed Zlochevsky had texts and 17 audiotapes, two of which included Joe Biden, that showed he was forced to pay the Bidens, according to the documents. A number of Republicans have questioned whether those audio recordings exist – and there’s been no evidence of the recordings to date.” [1]
The Informant, described as “highly credible” by the FBI, told the bureau that the Biden bribes arose as part of a conversation with Zlochevsky into how to deal with the investigation of Burisma.
Reportedly, those $5 million payments were directed to offshore LLC accounts, shell companies for the Biden bribery scheme and money laundering operation.
Let’s review:
In March 2016 (early in the year), Biden dangles the $ 1 billion “carrot” to President Poroshenko. Within 6 hours, Prosecutor Shokin is fired.
In 2016, Zlochevsky pays the Bidens (Hunter and “the big guy”) $ 5 million each
How much of that $ 1 billion was “granted” to Burisma ?
Which LLC(s) controlled by Hunter received $ 10 million in 2016 ?
As a reminder:
Article II ; Section 4 of the Constitution says,
“The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”
VERDICT: President Biden is GUILTY of bribery
Conviction requires 67 Senators to vote for removal. We all know the Democrat-controlled Senate will never turn against their own leader, but the Republican House must impeach Biden to make a statement. If Democrats impeached Trump on bogus charges twice, Republicans should impeach Biden for ACTUAL crime, PERIOD !
The only way Biden could be removed from office, is if Obama gives the order. HE is the real leader of the Democrat Party and everything depends on what HE wants. So, if HE wants Biden to step aside and be replaced by Kamala, that’s what will happen. Then watch for the announcement that “Big Mike” Michelle is running in 2024. Don’t laugh.
The Congressional Testimony of Two IRS Whistleblowers
On Wednesday, 19 July 2023, two IRS whistleblowers appeared before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee to testify on their knowledge of the Biden investigation and how they were stifled by the Department of Justice from pursuing the case.
The hearing was titled, “Hearing with IRS Whistleblowers About the Biden Criminal Investigation”. The two whistleblowers were Gary Shapely, Supervisory Special Agent, and Joseph Ziegler, Criminal Investigator, formerly known only as “Whistleblower X”.
Committee Chairman, James Comer (R-KY), said in his opening statement, “From the thousands of financial records we’ve obtained, we know the Biden family set up over 20 shell companies, engaged in intentionally complicated financial transactions with foreign adversaries, and made a concerted effort to hide the payments and avoid scrutiny.” [2]
He further stated, “Americans are rightfully angry about this two-tiered system of justice that seemingly allows the Biden family to operate above the law.”
To echo the mantra of the Democrat Party and their lapdog media propagandists, incessantly shouting it from the rooftops as they framed President Trump on bogus charges, “No one is above the law. Not even the President of the United States.”
Both Witnesses were at the top level of the IRS investigation that dated back to Hunter Biden’s failure to file taxes in 2014, now past the statute of limitations, but continuing through 2019, triggered by large payments that were not claimed and lavish corporate “expenses” involving prostitutes and sex club fees.
They both testified that multiple “suspicious activity reports” (SARS) from financial institutions had been discovered involving Hunter Biden and his complex shell companies, and that he had evaded taxes from the period 2014 to 2019, providing detailed evidence of payments received. That is evidence that can’t be denied. It’s clearly written in black and white, linked to Hunter Biden.
Bear in mind that the FBI had Hunter’s “laptop from Hell” by December 2019. They knew it wasn’t Russian disinformation and suppressed the story ahead of the 2020 election to protect Biden’s campaign, even going so far as to coerce social media sites like Twitter and Facebook to censor coverage of the story. That is classic textbook CORRUPTION.
That Pesky WhatsApp Text
Then there is the troubling WhatsApp text sent by Hunter Biden to Chinese Communist Party (CCP) official, Henry Zhao on July 30, 2017.
‘I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made was not fulfilled. Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight. And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father,” [3]
The next day, one of Hunter’s shell companies, OWASCO PC, received a $ 10 million payment from CEFC.
It was IRS Agent Shapely who told the House Ways and Means Committee last month about a search warrant that produced the WhatsApp message. He also stated that the Department of Justice “slow-walked” the investigation of Hunter Biden and gave him “preferential treatment” that had never been offered in any case he had ever worked on with similar fact patterns.
Meanwhile, the White House continues to claim Joe Biden NEVER had any discussions with Hunter about his foreign business deals.
The Case Has Been Made: Next Step, IMPEACHMENT
We the People have seen and heard enough. We don’t need any MORE evidence. There is plenty of verified evidence already uncovered to impeach the President. The time for talking is over. Get on with it. Do it NOW !
We know Kamala is perhaps a bigger bumbling idiot than he is, and she’ll be taking the same orders from Obama, but it doesn’t matter. We just can’t have a PROVEN criminal in the White House. Of course the Senate won’t convict him anyway, unless Obama wants them to. We’ll deal with it either way.

Stymie Them withDeflection
Less than 36 hours before the expiration of Title 42, set to expire at midnight on 11th May, U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorcas[1], took to the podium to announce that the massive influx of illegal immigrants crossing our southern border is to be blamed on Congress, for failing to enact immigration reforms. In recent days there have been over 10,000 illegal crossings per day, and they are set to be released into the interior with no method of tracking their whereabouts.
Nevermind that the Biden administration held complete control of Congress for two years and did nothing to address the invasion of illegals. In fact, they advertised that the United States was willing to accept any and all comers in an veritable “come on down” invitation. Now that Republicans have regained control of the House of Representatives, it’s their fault.
Maybe someone should remind Sect. Mayorcas that we already have immigration laws that have been on the books for decades. Maybe the Biden administration should be enforcing existing laws, instead of deflecting blame onto newly elected Republicans.
There is a law titled Immigration and Nationality Act, enacted in 1952. It’s been amended many times over the past 70 years and now includes several statutes that fall under Title 8 U.S. Code, to name a few:
These just touch on the subject and I’ve linked them for convenience should anyone care to review them. There are many others that may be of interest. Perhaps Sect. Mayorcas should be apprised of these laws he is supposed to be enforcing, rather than grandstanding for “news” cameras in a feeble attempt to convince the idiots that support the Democrat agenda that the whole situation is completely unavoidable. Our immigration system isn’t broken. This administration is just breaking its laws, every day.

The Case History
Unless you just got back from Mars and are hung-over on candy bars, by now you’ve heard that Manhattan District Attorney (DA) Alvin Bragg has indicted former President Donald J. Trump.
It’s been almost 48 hours since the announcement on Thursday the 30th of March, and we won’t know the scope of the alleged 34 counts until the indictment is unsealed in court on Tuesday, April 4th. Reportedly, the charges stem from a “hush-money” payment of $130,000 to porn star “Stormy Daniels” (a.k.a. Stephanie Clifford) for her silence in the months leading up to the 2016 election.
In February 2018, Trump’s former attorney, Michael Cohen, now star witness for the prosecution, stated he made the payment from his own sources, and was not directed by Trump’s company or campaign to make the payment, also saying Trump never reimbursed him. At that time, he was still employed by the Trump Organization.
In May 2018, Cohen was replaced by Attorney Rudy Giuliani, and Trump admitted that he reimbursed Cohen using his own personal funds.
In August 2018, as Cohen pled guilty to felonious charges of tax fraud, bank fraud, and campaign finance violations in Manhattan, he testified that Trump directed the payment “for the principal purpose of influencing the election.”
Let’s not forget how Obama ran out the clock when the Benghazi story broke 7 weeks before the 2012 election, or how the Hillary Clinton campaign fabricated and paid for a phony Russian dossier on Trump leading up to the 2016 election, or how the media covered up the Hunter Biden laptop story exposing Biden family corruption in the months before the 2020 election, with assistance from the FBI, which coerced Twitter to censor the accounts of the New York Post. [1]
If they want to talk about influencing elections, let’s talk about influencing elections. Lady Justice is supposed to be blind. Her image shows a blindfolded woman holding the scales of justice. Any notion that Lady Justice can only see with one eye undermines the very foundation of American jurisprudence.
In a separate civil lawsuit brought by Daniels, U.S. District Judge, S. James Otero (Central District of California), a George W. Bush appointee, dismissed Daniels’ defamation suit on October 15, 2018.Daniels was then ordered to pay for Trump’s legal expenses. [2]
On July 17, 2019, U.S. District Judge William Pauley (Southern District of New York), a Bill Clinton appointee, announced that federal prosecutors had ended their campaign finance investigations in regards to the hush-money payments. Pauley further ordered that all related materials and a recent status report from the prosecutors be unsealed and made public in U.S. District Court by 11 AM the next day. [3] Apparently, the Department of Justice had reviewed the case, and decided it was not strong enough to proceed.
All of these legal entanglements stem from Trump’s alleged affair with Daniels in 2006, for which Trump and Cohen initiated a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) in 2016. Nondisclosure Agreements are completely legal documents executed all the time in the corporate world.
The Indictment
Now DA Bragg is resurrecting the Stormy Daniels case by reclassifying the expired statute of limitations for a misdemeanor as a federal felony for which he has no jurisdiction, based on novel legal theory. If he plans to argue that Trump’s NDA payment to Stormy Daniels is a campaign finance violation, that is under the purview of the Federal Election Commission (FEC), not a state court, and remember, the Department of Justice has already dismissed the case.
Reportedly, Trump’s legal team will fight for his “not guilty” plea with legal defense in his favor. But that isn’t going to alleviate the ongoing assault on our constitutional rights perpetrated by the Democrat Party.
We Have Entered the Realm of Tyranny
Just when you thought the Democrat Party (a.k.a. the DNC) couldn’t get any worse, they lower the bar to new depths. We must expose the Democrats as the vile, despicable creatures that they are.
The unprecedented indictment of a former President, on shaky grounds no less, is Stalinesque. This is tyranny in its purest form; the unsubstantiated prosecution your primary political opposition. The radical left-wing of the DNC, which has hijacked the party and now controls every move they make, doesn’t even care about opposing perceptions. They have no reason to fear repercussions because they know the (mainstream) media will defend anything they do while silencing all dissent. And the sheeple who aren’t paying attention, a huge voting block, will be hoodwinked into believing everything they are told, every time. They are completely under the influence of a propaganda media complex Goebbels could only dream about.
Bragg campaigned on a promise to “get Trump”. That was his platform and the 80% liberal New York City voters elected him hoping to see this day. They have gotten exactly what they voted for, which is to say that Bragg’s policy of letting actual violent criminals out of jail so they can attack random citizens all across the city, is well deserved. The sharp increase in crime is directly on them. In fact, Soros backed District Attorneys in all the major cities like New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and others have experienced the same uptick in violent offenses committed by released prisoners. Murders, rapes, stabbings, armed robberies, car jackings, pushing strangers onto subway tracks, you name it. These formerly decent cities are completely out of control and have been turned into third world shit holes in less than two years. Enjoy your ventures out into the streets, but you better have some personal protection. Oh wait, they’re all “gun free zones”. Good luck to ye.
The (relatively) good news is that these tyrants have opened the door for future indictments that are long overdue against Democrats. The gloves are off. No longer will high ranking Democrats be able to skate off into retirement without a care in the world, enjoying their elite status.
The time will come (not soon enough) when their power will diminish, perhaps as soon as January 20, 2025. If, and it’s a big “if”, any Republican can effectively tally more votes than whoever the DNC shoves into the candidate slot, while somehow negating the absolute certainty of fraudulent ballots, and regain the White House, he/she could nominate an Attorney General who will initiate investigations into the real criminals.
The Biden crime family: toast !
Obama’s treason: slam dunk ! There is no statute of limitations.
Hillary’s destruction of government documents: orange is the new black !
Don’t forget the smaller fish. Those rotting smelly bastards laying all over the dock. Brennan, Clapper, Strzok, Garland, Wray, Lerner, etc. We must root out all the corruption and take our country back. It’s no longer a political game. It’s outright survival of our constitutional republic. Defend it or get out of the way.
What are Patriots to do Now?
I am strongly pleading for rightfully angry Patriots to refrain from violence. That is exactly what Democrats are hoping to incite. January 6th was just a training exercise. They want Patriots to forcefully come out in the open so they can unleash a public massacre on “domestic terrorism”. They want to drink the blood of Patriots from pewter tankards on national TV while their propaganda media complex celebrates their victory. Don’t give them the pleasure.
Instead, use this indictment to your advantage by garnering support for Trump, or whoever the Republican candidate may be, by stressing the absolute tyrannical conduct of the Democrat Party. Make it known to everyone you engage with. Educate the sheeple, if that’s possible, to the fate of their very lives, if they continue to trust the propaganda they consume.
This is political Armageddon. We the People must prevail. But we can’t start another Civil War to accomplish our victory. We must crush the Democrat Party by ballot, not bullet. And “therein lies the rub”.
Most Patriots realize the 2020 election was stolen, despite all attempts by the media to debunk it as “Trump’s Big Lie”. There were over 1,000 independent affiants who swore under penalty of perjury that they witnessed various “irregularities” at polling stations in at least six states. Many of them had taken video proof of their allegations. All were ignored despite overwhelming evidence. On behalf of four of those states, Texas brought a case before the Supreme Court and on December 11, 2020, SCOTUS announced they refused to hear it because it “had no basis”. Whaaaaaaaaaaatt ?
They did it again in the 2022 mid-terms to assure a majority in the U.S. Senate by cheating voters in at least two states, Arizona and Nevada, probably Georgia and Pennsylvania as well.
We the People cannot trust election “officials” in Democrat controlled cities that dominate state results. We must organize state-by-state, a coordinated effort to place our own election officials in Democrat strongholds, particularly in those same battleground states that determined the 2020 presidential election. There is a process that must be undertaken by applicants seeking to become election officials. That process can be researched by state to find out what the requirements are. It takes some time to complete the program for certification, so it must begin now in order to place observers in polling stations by November 2024.
This is a call to action.
Contact your state Department of State to find out about election official training. Most states defer certification to local county election boards, but you can start with the state agency for general guidance. In my home state, you can begin the process by completing a state form that is forwarded to your local county. In general, government employees cannot serve as election officials. You will be paid for your time serving on Election Day. I can’t believe you will ever be asked your political affiliation, but if you are, claim you are a Democrat. The real battle is in the polling stations.
Document ANY and EVERY “irregularity” you see. Become the spy that infiltrates your local polling place. The primary targets are in Democrat controlled precincts, typically within major cities. Use your cell phone creatively to avoid suspicion. Record conversations using the video feature of your camera by holding it nonchalantly or in a shirt pocket. Use a remote shutter release like the one shown in the Amazon listing pictured in Figure 1 to snap pictures of strange boxes or take multiple pictures of workers looking at ballots and sorting them for future rescanning. Keep your eyes and ears alert at all times. Be aware of boxes brought into the building. Take note of the time of day/night of anything nefarious. If you see anything, report it to your closest REPUBLICAN Representative AND other Republican officials, making sure more than one individual hears your story.

We the People must STOP Democrat election “officials” from fraudulently reporting election results. Failure to do so, will condemn all of us to tyrannical communism under permanent Democrat power.

The System
We are all part of “the system”, being the institutions and mechanisms by which we are governed. The system, inspired by the Declaration of Independence and defined by the Constitution, created the most prosperous nation in the history of man. Suddenly, it’s not good enough for radical left-wing activists driving the Democrat party towards communism. In their collective minds, everything about America is shameful and must be torn down, then restructured to their liking, in the form of a socialist (communist) state.
When Lenin rose to power with the Bolsheviks and overthrew the Provisional government centered in the capital city of Petrograd (now Saint Petersburg), he was considered the leader of the RussianRevolution. When Ayatollah Khomeini overthrew the Pahlavi dynasty and replaced the government of Iran with the Islamic republic, he was recognized as the leader of the IranianRevolution. When the FrenchRevolution broke out in 1789, it was viewed as a period of radical and societal change. The early years were dominated by struggles for political control, economic depression, and civil disorder. Sound familiar? The conditions we are experiencing right now are starting to look like a comprehensive strategy by revolutionaries, or a certain mastermind, designed to radically transform America into a socialist state. He even told us, out loud in front of a microphone, he was going to do it. He is implementing a second American Revolution designed to overthrow the government while everyone is distracted by multiple crises of his own creation, the Cloward-Piven strategy. [1]
To quote Wikipedia; “In political philosophy, the right of revolution (or right of rebellion) is the right or duty of a people to “alter or abolish” a government that acts against their common interests or threatens the safety of the people without cause. Stated throughout history in one form or another, the belief in this right has been used to justify various revolutions, including the American Revolution, French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, and the Iranian Revolution.” [2]
The DNC voting base has been thoroughly indoctrinated and remain loyal to their beloved party, which was at one time respectable. Traditional liberals, many we know to be decent people, don’t even realize the Democrat party has been hijacked by radical revolutionaries and is no longer working for them, no longer the champion of minority interests, or the underprivileged, and bears no resemblance to their parent’s Democrat party. The DNC now wants to make us all underprivileged, by controlling the population under the iron fist of conformity, overregulation and excessive taxation.
Witness the “climate change” movement and Biden’s war on American energy. Runaway inflation directly caused by the war on fossil fuels is a burdensome tax on every American family. Their entire domestic policy is driven by the Green New Deal and the message is “just buy an electric car”. But Democrats never consider the “ripple effect” of their ridiculous ideas.
They expect the dumb asses who keep voting for them to trumpet their cause. Their propaganda media complex, including big tech, is there to shame all resistance and silence the opposition. It’s their “go to” play.
Setting aside the fact that we all are supposed to suffer economic consequences to achieve some pie-in-the-sky “save the planet” nonsense, the critical thinker might ask a few questions, like:
China and India are the world’s largest polluters. How can you expect to clean the environment if the other side of the same planet is exempt from your policy?
90% of CO2 emissions come from decaying leaves. Are you proposing that all the world’s trees be cut down? If not, why are you targeting less than 10% of the source?
How many solar panels and windmills does it take to upgrade every power generating facility in the country?
Mass production of EV batteries will require vast quantities of metals and minerals. How do you plan to mine those resources without consuming massive quantities of diesel fuel? (see my article The DNC War on American Energy.)
The Green New Deal is nothing more than a colossal virtue signal.
The system is bigger than any political party or any individual politician. The system is not to be tampered with, reformed, or “fundamentally transformed” to Obama’s specifications. We the People are the “shareholders” of America. The government does not rule us. We are to direct them, by electing representatives who pledge to sustain the ideals, customs, and freedoms we are to preserve for generations to come.
We the People, as the stewards of America, are in an ideological war to save the system that was created to govern us on a limited basis. The government was never intended to control the American people. It is supposed to serve us.
The State of the Union
The state of the union, as it exists today, is unacceptable to any red-blooded American Patriot. When a presidential election has been rigged to install a fraudulent President, by manufacturing phony ballots, We the People are treading uncharted waters.
Now we have gone through two successive election cycles rigged by the DNC. Apparently, we may not have the traditional option of winning hearts and minds with better ideas, then depending on the next election to take power away from the Democrats. As it stands, they have complete control and the means to keep it to implement their communist agenda. We the People no longer have a vote. Our voices have been cancelled. We are now subject to taxation without representation.
We are being conditioned by the propaganda media complex to believe the 2020 election fraud claims can simply be dismissed as “Trump’s Big Lie”.
We are supposed to accept the notion that election results in battleground states won by Trump in 2016 were flipped in favor of a candidate who rarely left his basement during the entire campaign.
There were over 1,000 independent affiants who signed sworn Affidavits under penalty of perjury, that they witnessed “irregularities” in their respective voting precincts. Could a senile old man, coddled by the media really have been so popular to earn 81 million votes, without campaigning? Do you really believe all those “irregularities” just happened to occur where the race was predicted to be close? What a “coincidence”. Two, maybe three, connected oddities might be coincidences. At some point, like five or six, odd occurrences become arrangements. Anyone interested in the details of Trump and Republican Party lawsuits in the battleground states, regarding the 2020 election, can examine the specifics HERE[3]
It might be understandable if Trump’s performance had been poor, but the economy was robust, interest rates were low, the country had become energy independent, unemployment had been reduced to the lowest levels ever for minority groups, the military had been strengthened, and our borders were secured under his watch. Normally, incumbents get re-elected under conditions that come close to those achievements. Conversely, they want you to believe there was immense support for the Democrat party in the mid-term election of 2022 after two years of Biden’s terrible performance. It simply makes no sense.
The DNC is the existential threat to our constitutional republic, and they are actively destroying it every day. Not only do they attack the Constitution and the Bill of Rights with relentless determination, but they have effectively perfected the process of rigging elections to ensure permanent power
If, in fact, the Democrat party (DNC), successfully masterminded and engineered a fraudulent election, that could be considered as the most heinous crime in American history, because they disenfranchised the sacred right to vote from the legitimate 76 million Americans who votedunder expectations that they were participating in a free and fair election. The DNC has essentially conducted a bloodless coup d’état without firing a shot.
It’s classic taxation without representation. So there’s THAT !
What Recourse Do We the People Have?
Faced with the realization that our vote has been cancelled, and a revolutionary Marxist regime has been installed to implement an anti-American agenda, what recourse do we have?
The good news is, we don’t have to start another civil war or engage in a violent revolt. Maybe there’s a way to end all the division and hatred created by Obama. A way that could provide peace and tranquility for everyone, a political “divorce”, citing irreconcilable differences. Why should we all remain “married” to each other? Why put up with it any longer?
Democrats hate Republicans and Republicans hate Democrats. That fact is not likely to change anytime soon failing the acceptance of a unifying leader rising amid automatic preconceived resistance. In other words, “bloody unlikely”. Essentially, 70% of the electorate is pissed off all the time at the “other side of the aisle”? The two-party system is broken beyond repair.
In my opinion, a two-state solution could solve the entire problem.
DISCLAIMER: I am not the originator of the concept of a two-state solution. It has been proposed as a way to settle the conflict over territory in Israel, offering the West Bank to the Palestinians as an independent state. The UN adopted the concept by resolution in 1974. Neither side has been able to negotiate an acceptable agreement since. But the concept remains “alive”. I am not formally proposing a split of the United States. All I am saying is that given the deep divide between the two political factions, with virtually zero chance of ever unifying the country again, a two-state solution seems like a potential option that could appease both sides. If the idea ever gained traction, I could possibly support the movement.
When the President of the United States has been installed by fraud for the purpose of furthering an agenda to “fundamentally transform” America into a socialist nation, it becomes incumbent upon every Patriot to defend the Constitution
The Declaration of Independence addresses the very situation we are facing, WHEREIN it is stated:
“That to secure these rights (Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness), Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
We the People don’t need to “institute new Government”. We just want the government we already have. History tells us that Lincoln raised an army to squash the seceding southern states in the Civil War. However, the two-state solution is not a rebel faction declaring intentions to secede from the United States. On the contrary, it proposes a method to sustain American values and the institutions that represent our original constitutional republic, in the face of a radical movement to install an antithetical form of government guided by a cabal of actual revolutionaries who have seized the reigns of power by fraud.
There’s just one major obstacle; We the People can’t expect those controlling the levers of power to go along with the idea. In fact, I’d expect them to vow to crush any opposition by military force, and I’m afraid the U.S. military would follow the orders of a fraudulent Commander-in-Chief before they would question their oath of office. [4]
The DNC needs the tax base of the producers to fund their bloated welfare state. They propose guaranteed minimum incomes for as many dependent voters as they can find, or import, and they expect the wealthy and the working middle class to support them.
Despite the appeal that could grow in popularity among the masses, I’m guessing the DNC power players would rather tax the middle class into poverty and wait for their agenda to play out, rather than settle for any quick political “nirvana” offered by a two-state solution. The DNC doesn’t really care about the people, they just want to keep them under control. They likely prefer the iron fist over the peace pipe that dries up their cash cow. When hard core Patriots come to that conclusion, all bets are off.
DISCLAIMER: For the benefit of the NSA, FBI, and other intelligence agencies;
I’m not proposing any sort of revolution, I’m not standing on busy street corners shouting out the need to overthrow the government by force. (see 18 U.S. Code § 2385). There are several codified felonies that address revolutionary actions I am well aware of and intend to avoid at all costs. The key requirement in most of those codes is “by force or violence”. For me to get behind any such movement that advocates a two-state solution, the end game would need to be a negotiated settlement executed amicably and peacefully.
I don’t have a political action committee. I don’t belong to any terrorist group. I don’t lead any militias. Nor am I aware of any secret meetings to organize any clandestine operations. I’m just exercising my first amendment right to say what I think could work to solve the deepest irreconcilable division this country has seen since the Civil War.
When Lincoln said, “a house divided against itself cannot stand”, he was talking about the ideals of freedom for all and the institution of slavery could not coexist — morally, socially, or legally — under one nation.
Replace the word “slavery” with the phrase, “the ideology of the radical left-wing faction controlling the Democrat party”, and the quote remains relevant.
What Is the Two-State Solution and How Would it Work?
It is not necessary for American Patriots to secede from the union, as the rebel south did in the Civil War, because We the People are the “owners” of America and have no intention of leaving our country. The DNC is the real “rebel” force that has been in the process of “reforming” America and they appear to have permanent control the Senate and the White House.
We the People recognize the need to restore our voices in the system we were blessed to be governed by. It is therefore imperative that our rights be guaranteed and granted to future generations as it was always intended by the founders. We cannot sit back and watch our country be “fundamentally transformed” by radical Marxists.
The two-state solution is not any sort of departure from the United States. Itis the expulsion of revolutionaries who have usurped the levers of power by fraud. We the People are kicking them out of America and sending them into permanent exile with one irresistible benefit, we are offering territory with consideration of the states that represent traditional political strongholds, a peaceful and amicable division of the United States into two separate nations. They would be hard-pressed to find a better deal anywhere, or at any time. It could be much worse for them in the future, should conservatives figure out how to prevent stolen elections and the power structure shifts.
To accomplish a territorial division, with the least amount of disruption, would entail a split of the rebel nation into two distinct regions. This new “rebel” nation established by defined international borders could be known by any name their leaders, the current high-ranking Democrats, choose. For lack of a better term, I would suggest they honor their “supreme leader” and name it Obamastan, split into East Obamastan and West Obamastan. Details could be negotiated by Congress and adopted by resolution. The date the resolution is signed by the President would be known as the Date of Resolution.
They could adopt any form of government to their liking, without interference from America. They could control their population in any manner their leaders see fit.
After one year from the Date of Resolution, those residing in East or West Obamastan would permanently denounce their U.S. citizenship and become citizens/subjects of Obamastan.
East Obamastan would contain most of the northeast U.S., and West Obamastan would occupy the west coast. Yes, it might be slightly inconvenient to travel between East and West Obamastan, but they are responsible for their own division. It’s a fair trade-off for political “nirvana”.
All current United States citizens must choose which type of government they wish to live under and will have one year from the Date of Resolution to relocate their residence, if necessary, to their desired country. The one-year time frame within which every citizen, and non-citizen, must make their individual decisions, shall be known as the “Transition Period”. After the Transition Period, all people shall be determined to have made their decisions final and will be considered citizens of that respective nation. Those who decide to occupy East or West Obamastan will forfeit their U.S. citizenship at the expiration of the Transition Period.
All remaining United States citizens occupying territory outside Obamastan will be issued a United States passport and a federally validated photo ID card that must be shown to vote, start a business, buy real estate, lease property, and other official acts. Attempts to perform any of those functions without a valid ID card will result in immediate arrest warrant and deportation to the nearest border checkpoint for deportation to their country of origin or into Obamastan.
America would retain our constitutional republic form of government. There would be a new federal capital city built at a suitable centralized location and the federal government would be downsized from its current bloated bureaucracy to essential agencies. For example, all the various cabinet positions could be consolidated into the Departments of State, Treasury, Interior, and Defense in sweeping reforms that would streamline the functioning of the government and cut waste. Federal legislators would be elected under term limits with all members of Congress serving a maximum term of 14 years (two full terms as a Senator, or six full terms as a Representative, plus 2 years maximum for any seats filled by special election due to death, retirement, resignation, impeachment, etc.). Any political party could be formed, and encouraged to participate, by nominating candidates that support the Constitution. Anti-American political movements would crumble on their own.
The United States will retain and maintain its military within our borders, but we will keep a close eye on potential threats posed by using Obamastan as a “launching pad” for military operations against the United States. Any military threat will be viewed as a potential invasion and dealt with appropriately.
Non-citizens, from Obamastan, or any other country, may travel or visit the United States on a limited basis with a maximum stay of six weeks in any continuous period, but must check in and check out at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facility and have a valid passport stamped. There are ways to track individual travelers that don’t need to be specified here, but violators would be subject to prosecution, fines, and/or future travel restrictions.
There could be trade agreements negotiated in good faith, regulated by international law. Any trade deficits between nations would be settled annually (no accumulation of debt). Each nation would be responsible for the welfare of its own citizenry. The United States will offer no foreign aid to Obamastan.
Immigration to the United States would require going through the process legally. Our borders are NOT open. All illegal immigrants would be directed to California with relocation expenses charged to the national debt of Obamastan.
What Would the Two-State Solution Look Like?
The most sensible way to subdivide the United States into two separate independent nations, would be to acknowledge those sectors of the country where the two major political parties are dominant. In other words, a geopolitical split that is the least disruptive to as many people as possible. Unfortunately, no division could satisfy everyone. Under such a plan, I would need to relocate myself, but if I can do it, anyone can. Is political peace not worth the effort? I’d wager that anyone who leans left, or right, stuck “behind enemy lines” could find the motivation to get out. Apathetics could remain in place by choice.
From the electoral map of the country shown below in Figure 1, we can clearly see the west coast and the northeast are the two primary Democrat strongholds. Only Illinois, Colorado, and New Mexico lie amidst the heartland of conservative America. Liberals in those states, or any other, could elect to stay as U.S. citizens by choice, but why would they want to when the “utopia” of their dreams is within reach? Why fight it any longer?
In 2020, Biden supposedly “won” several of the Trump “red” states, but under very mysterious circumstances. I would say, this 2016 map is more accurate in terms of true political preference and the plan is based on this map.
Proposed Border between America and East Obamastan
A new international border shall form the boundary between the United States of America and East Obamastan, primarily along the centerlines of watercourses and the Appalachian Trail, as follows (south to north):
From the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay between Norfolk, Virginia and the “Eastern Shore” peninsula, up the Cheaspeake Bay to the mouth of the Rappahannock River;
up the main branch of the Rappahannock to its headwaters just northeast of Chester Gap, Virginia, near the Mosby Campsite, and continuing uphill a short distance to a point in the centerline of the Appalachian Trail;
following the Appalachian Trail northeasterly through Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York to the centerline of the Hudson River under the Bear Mountain Bridge at Fort Clinton, New York, just upriver from Peekskill;
up the main branch of the Hudson River northerly to Fort Edward, New York to the centerline of the Champlain Canal;
following the Champlain Canal northeasterly to Whitehall, New York, where it meets the Vermont state line;
following the New York-Vermont state line northerly through Lake Champlain to its northern terminus at the Canadian border.
Jurisdictions
East Obamastan shall consist of the complete states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Delaware; southeastern parts of New York, all but the northern tip of New Jersey, southeastern parts of Pennsylvania, most of Maryland, and parts of northern Virginia.
Those parts of New York and Maryland will retain their state names as part of East Obamastan. Southeastern Pennsylvania will be renamed to something that does not connote “Penn’s Woods”.
The portion of northern Virginia north of the Rappahannock River and the “Eastern Shore” peninsula will be annexed by Maryland.
The portion of “upstate” New York west of the Hudson and north of the Appalachian Trail will adopt a new state name and retain its capital city at Albany.
The portion of New Jersey north of the Appalachian Trail will be annexed to “upstate” New York.
The portion of western Maryland west of the Appalachian Trail will be annexed to Pennsylvania, which shall build a new capital city at a location to be determined. The Liberty Bell shall be relocated from Philadelphia to the new capital city. The symbol of freedom must remain in America. Ironically, the two cities that were the “birth centers” of the American Revolution, Boston and Philadelphia, will become part of East Obamastan, a communist nation. Such is the price of ideological warfare.
What Will the Eastern Border Look Like?
Figure 2: proposed border (approx.) between the United States of America and East Obamastan, as described above
Proposed Border between America and West Obamastan
A new international border shall form the boundary between the United States of America and West Obamastan, essentially following existing state lines, as follows (south to north):
From the Mexican border at the state line between Arizona and California;
Following the Arizona- California state line northerly up the Colorado River to the Nevada state line;
Following the Arizona-Nevada state line northerly to the Utah state line;
Following the Utah-Nevada state line northerly to the Idaho state line;
Following the Idaho-Nevada state line westerly to the Oregon state line;
Following the Idaho-Oregon state line northerly to the Washington state line;
Following the Idaho-Washington state line northerly to its northern terminus at the Canadian border.
Jurisdictions
West Obamastan shall consist of the complete states of Washington, Oregon, Nevada, California, and Hawaii.
The entire state of Alaska will remain part of the United States of America.
For Patriots/Conservatives Only (delete this chapter before sharing)
Imagine if the two-state solution gained some momentum by spreading the word to develop a groundswell. Please share the concept among friends, family, and co-workers to gathering support. What if the masses of Democrat voters figured out the DNC elites were only exploiting the working class to enrich themselves and started protesting their own political leaders, demanding a political “nirvana” the DNC rejects. How awesome would that be? Maybe I’d start selling popcorn on Amazon.
As every American should know, the President of the United States is the Commander in Chief of all branches of the U.S. military.
All U.S. military officers must swear to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; . . . “
The “military oath” has changed over the years, but essentially retains its core principles. To examine the various oaths, visit the website, or click the link in the article.
To obey orders that directly contradict an officer’s oath, presents the officer with a conflict; obey the order, or violate the oath. It could be argued that honoring the oath takes precedence over orders “from the top”, particularly when the orders seem corrupt, illegal, unethical, immoral, or unconstitutional.
