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.
Lexington and Concord
On this, the 249th anniversary of the “shot heard round the world” on Lexington Green in Massachusetts, it is appropriate to appreciate what those 70 brave Minute Men militia led by Captain John Parker, did to send a message to British commanders.
The original “stand your ground” monument on Lexington Green
These were not men who thought kindly of tyranny and oppression. They had had just about enough and they were willing to literally put their lives on the line to fight for the freedom they sought. They faced the most powerful military in the world and stood tall against it.
British troops, about 800 strong had marched out of Boston the night before on a mission to seize weapons and gun powder stored in the nearby town of Concord and capture Patriot leaders John Hancock and Sam Adams, who were staying at the Hancock-Clarke House just up the road from Lexington Green. Fortunately, for the American revolutionaries, Paul Revere and William Dawes had been dispatched by Dr. Joseph Warren, who had caught wind of the British expedition, and warned them of the approaching British regulars, allowing them to escape northwards to Burlington, out of harms way. But eight Minute Men lay dead on Lexington Green and another two were felled in the skirmish at North Bridge over Concord River, where the British lost three men before retreating back to Boston.

By the time they came back down what is now known as Battle Road towards Lexington, Dr. Warren and Captain Parker had gathered thousands of Minute Men along the route to Boston, ambushing the column from all angles for the next 12 miles. At the end of the day, there were 73 British killed in action and many more wounded. The Americans suffered 49 dead. [1]
It was “go time”.
When Warren’s mother saw him later that day, she urged him to never put himself in such danger again. Warren replied, “Now is no time for any of America’s children to shrink from any hazard. I will set her free or die.”
Fifty-nine days later, he was killed at the Battle of Bunker Hill.
That being said, why do I mention this little episode from the American Revolution?
Because I know there are Patriots who will view this and feel the same way.
TheWarning and the Caviat
There are millions of Americans who are totally fed up with the direction Marxist communists are taking this country. Many of them are military vetsand members of groups who consider themselves armed militia. Please be advised that no matter how angry you are and how justifiable your ambitions may be, it would be foolish to directly confront the active U.S. military commanded by the very political leader you might hope to supplant. Any armed revolution would be disastrous. There are alternative methods to restore our republic without committing suicide. One such method is to speak the truth about every aspect of Marxist ideology currently being installed by Obama’s communist agenda, whether he can be directly implicated, or carried out by his political puppets and his activist army. Patriots must unite behind the cause to save America and the best way I see at this time is to inform them of what is really going on and convince as many people as possible to vote against this Marxist, anti-American regime. Remember, it was Obama himself who proclaimed at a campaign rally in Columbia, Missouri on October 30th 2008 that, “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” No one asked what he meant, but now it is clear, his “fundamental transformation” was to convert America to communism.
His legacy cannot be allowed to happen.
I am openly calling for every Patriot to speak out, but you must be cautious in what you say and make sure you don’t cross the line into unprotected speech. To that end, I urge you to be aware of the extremely important Supreme Court decision in Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969).
Essentially, a Ku Klux Klan leader was convicted of violating an Ohio law that “prohibited public speech that was deemed as promoting illegal conduct”. After going through the appeals process, SCOTUS overturned the verdict under the principle that speech was protected as long as it did not call for “immediate unlawful action”. In the Brandenburg case, there was no proposal for anyone to commit illegal activity. There was no imminent danger to any individual, public safety or the community at large. His speech, though it may have been construed as “hateful”, was perfectly legal, and protected under the First Amendment.
For example, though it is protected speech to advocate overthrowing the government, it would be unprotected, and subject to prosecution, if you named a rally point and a time to assemble to forcibly enact a plan to do so.
The Police State
We are in a time when anything you say, can and will be held against you. Though he was eventually exonerated, Brandenburg was damaged by the prosecution and it took five years for his case to be overturned. It could be argued that Donald Trump’s “hush money” trial in New York right now is on very shaky legal grounds, but Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg doesn’t care about whether the Supreme Court could overturn his successful conviction in a biased courtroom. His only objective is to apply maximum damage to the Trump campaign. Once Trump’s reputation is damaged in the eyes of the voters and the 2024 election is over, it’s too late.
There is yet another reason to avoid such controversy. And that is the “surveillance state”. In case you missed it, on the 13th of November 2023, Democrat New York Governor, Kathy Hochul, announced that the state would “ramp up surveillance efforts of social media accounts and that law enforcement will take proactive measures, including contacting people on suspicion of using ‘hate speech’.” [2]
Hochul offered assurance that New Yorkers could “feel safe” about their personal security due to the state’s social media analysis unit, which has ramped up its monitoring of sites to catch incitement to violence, and direct threats to others. In other words, everyone should be thankful that the state is watching the entire spectrum of social media platforms looking for speech that some undefined expert analyst may deem threatening, under the guise of “safety”. As Benjamin Franklin once said, “Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
Perhaps Gov. Hochul should be made aware of the “Brandenburg test” because any person they decide to harass could cite the 1969 Supreme Court decision as a defense and the taxpayers of New York will have funded another pea-brained virtue signal.
So to all you federal agencies (and we know you’re watching) who may catch wind of this, or anyone’s speech deemed “hateful”, or offensive to your undefined “standards”, be advised of the Brandenburg defense.
Again, to remind all Patriots, the “surveillance state” is real and it is fully operational. Everything you post on Facebook, or tweet on X, is captured and recorded by a fascist regime that will do anything to remain in power. The proof is ongoing in New York City right now, as a judge who donated to the Democrat Party refuses to recuse himself for obvious conflict of interest, reviews potential jurors from a 90% Democrat district who have been coached to lie on their questionnaires by a former Asst. U.S. Attorney, in a case brought by a D.A. who fabricated felony charges out of misdemeanors that had expired statutes of limitations, and a State Attorney General who promised to “get Trump” as her campaign platform. In other words, he is being railroaded like the express trains to Auschwitz. A complete travesty of American justice.
If they decide they want to come after “hate speech” from dissidents, you may have a strong defense in Brandenburg, but it won’t matter after they bankrupt you and destroy your life. We the People are undoubtedly already on their watch list of “domestic terrorists”. And the actual fascists call MAGA Republicans a threat to our democracy, while their Propaganda Media Complex trumpets the mantra.
The Cause
Much as it was for the Minute Men of 1775 and all Patriots who rallied to the cause throughout the American Revolution, it has come to the point that we must recognize our way of life is in serious jeopardy. The enemy is the Democrat Party and all that it stands for. They must be totally crushed to save our republic. We watched Donald Trump shock the world in 2016 by defeating Hillary Clinton, the presumptive heir to Obama’s legacy, and how the left denied his legitimacy because they felt they were entitled to rule.
We know they were willing to do anything to regain power, including stealing elections. There is nothing they won’t do to keep it.
We the People may rest only when their legitimacy is completely destroyed. We don’t need to see it collapse entirely, but their communist agenda cannot stand. Until the DNC reforms their Marxist, anti-American platform, they must be critically attacked from every angle, exposed for every unconstitutional maneuver they make, and voted against at every opportunity.
Speak out.
Make the silent majority the moral majority.
Stay the course.

The Basics of Georgia’s Indictment Against Trump
For those who haven’t closely followed the case of The State of Georgia v. Donald J. Trump et al, brought by Fulton County Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis, be advised that a grand jury formally indicted the former President and 18 co-defendants on August 14, 2021, with charges that violate Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) statute, alleging that all of the co-defendants “knowingly and willfully joined a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome” of the 2020 election. Some defendants have also been charged with forty additional counts from other allegations, varying from; plotting to create pro-Trump slates of fake electors, to illegally accessing voting systems in search of fraudulent votes, to Trump himself calling Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensberger, asking him to “find 11,780 votes”, which would have swung the state’s electors in Trump’s favor. Bear in mind, the text of Trump’s call to Raffensberger was, “What I want to do is this. I just want to find, uh, 11,780 votes, which is one more than (the 11,799-vote margin of defeat) we have, because we won the state.” [1]
The statement itself is not proof that Trump was demanding Raffensberger to “find” votes for Trump by hook or by crook. It could easily be construed as a request for Raffensberger to consider potential fraud. But as is the norm for the Democrat Party and their Propaganda Media Complex, the context of the statement is omitted to spin a sinister effort by their opposition. Needless to say, if the political parties were reversed, everything would have been “hunky-dorry” and there wouldn’t even be a case against any Democrat. But we’re dealing with Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) and Orange Man must be vilified at every opportunity. Trump himself was facing 13 separate counts, three of which have been dropped by Fulton County Superior Court Judge, Scott McAfee. He now faces ten counts, the RICO charge, four counts of making false statements, two counts of filing false documents, two counts of forgery, and one count of impersonating a public officer. Among the charges alleged by prosecutors, the Trump team is accused of attempting to coerce the Georgia state legislature to appoint alternate electors for Trump in case pending litigation in Pennsylvania determined that fraud had been discovered in that state. Such a procedure is perfectly legal and has been employed before in other jurisdictions following other elections, namely in Hawaii, when John F. Kennedy disputed the 1960 election results. Kennedy prevailed in a recount that was court-ordered after the results were audited twice and certified by Acting Governor James Kealoha. The third recount was ordered on December 19, 1960, by Judge Ronald B. Jamieson, which was completed by December 28th, showing a Kennedy victory by 115 votes, and Jamieson then ordered the alternate slate of Democratic electors to be validly appointed. Governor William F. Quinn certified the Democratic slate on January 4, 1961 and the state air-mailed the new certificate to Congress notifying them of the change. Allegedly, the Georgia “Certificate of Ascertainment” was deemed a false statement because it did not follow language guidelines that specified it as an alternate slate that would only be valid pending external litigation. Apparently, only Democrats are allowed to question election results.
Four of the defendants have pled guilty to some of the charges and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors. The other 15 defendants have pled “not guilty” and are currently awaiting the outcome of decisions related to pretrial motions, which have brought the case into the limelight.
Pretrial Motions
As a prerequisite to any impending trials, Judge McAfee has been dealing with several pretrial motions, to which he set a deadline of December 1, 2023. Among those:
August 19, 2023 – Mark Meadows, White House Chief of Staff, charged with one count, the RICO count, submitted a motion to have the case dismissed entirely, based on the fact that the President must be provided close, confidential advice and assistance ensconced in federal law for nearly 100 years. It also argues Meadows is immune under the First Amendment and the 14th Amendment, prohibiting charges that are “unconstitutionally vague”.
September 2023 – District Judge Steve C. Jones denied a motion by five defendants to move the case to federal court in an effort to “widen the jury pool”. Fulton County is heavily Democratic.
October 5, 2023 – Judge McAfee denies campaign attorney, Sidney Powell’s motion to dismiss charges against her and three co-defendants in a breach of Coffee County voting equipment whereby she sent two operatives to copy data recorded by Dominion Voting systems machines. The motion argued that there was no attempt to break in to the system because they were authorized by Coffee County and escorted by employees of the independent data forensics firm SullivanStrickler. McAfee said he had “no authority to do that so close to her trial”. What?
October 11, 2023 – Powell and Trump attorney Kenneth Chesebro, through their lawyers, argued that the alternate Trump electors could not be impersonating public officers because they were indeed public officers themselves under federal law. Therefore, no conspiracy existed. McAfee declined to dismiss the charges, saying they were not “defective”.
January 8, 2024 – Trump’s lead lawyer, Steven Sadow, submitted a motion for all criminal charges against him be dismissed due to presidential immunity, arguing that the acts described in the indictment are “at the heart of his official responsibilities as President”.
District Attorney’s Office Takes the Stand
Also on January 8, 2024, Mike Roman’s attorney, filed a motion alleging that Fani Willis and Nathan Wade, whom she had hired as a special prosecutor in November 2021, had been conducting a romantic relationship that dated back to 2019, asserting that Willis vacationed with Wade, and thereby profited from his hiring at a lucrative salary, forming a conflict of interest. This is where the case gets “juicy” and places the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office in serious jeopardy of its own credibility.
On February 15, 2024, Wade was called to testify on his relationship with DA Willis. The legal team for the defendants questioned him about his alleged affair with Ms. Willis and when it began. He repeatedly stated there was a romantic relationship but it didn’t begin until sometime in early 2022, after he was hired by Ms. Willis as a special prosecutor. He was also questioned about a series of vacations the two had taken together in Mexico and the Caribbean, which he claimed were charged on his credit card, but reimbursed by Ms. Willis for her share in cash. He could not produce any receipts or deposit slips for thousands of dollars spent on these elaborate vacations.
Prior to Wade’s testimony, the defense called Robin Yeartie to the stand, who testified under oath remotely that she was a close friend of Willis’ and had been a co-worker during the time frame when it is alleged that Willis and Wade were dating. Ms. Yeartie was adamant that she had witnessed the two “hugging and kissing” before Wade was hired in November 2021.
Fulton County Georgia District Attorney, Fani Willis, takes the witness stand to testify of her relationship with Special Prosecutor, Nathan Wade, amid allegations of a conflict of interest and the “appearance of impropriety”.
Thursday, February 15, 2024
When Wade was dismissed from the stand, Willis stormed into the courtroom and told her DA’s office attorneys to put her on the stand. She put on a performance for the cameras acting defiant and in near contempt of court. She called the bundled papers detailing the motion requested by the defendants a pack of lies and reminded everyone that she was not on trial, but it was the Trump co-defendants who were on trial. When questioned by the defense, she basically echoed Wades claims that the relationship had not begun until after Wade was hired and that she had always reimbursed Wade for her share of the vacation expenses, including airfare, with cash that she habitually kept laying around in her house. When asked about her typical cash holdings, she replied, “on a bad day it might be $1,500, on a good day, it might be $15,000.” Attorney Ashleigh Merchant probed her for the source of the cash, to which Willis replied she would typically take some extra cash when she was at the grocery store, but she didn’t have any receipts of any transactions, no bank records, and no statements of any kind. OK, so if we go to the grocery store you frequent and subpoena the video surveillance footage of dates and times you were there to observe your “cash back” transactions, that would prove you’re telling the truth, right? And if we go to your house right now, you can show us your cash box, right? In other words, how much credibility would you assign to Willis and Wade?
McAfee Weighs In
On March 1, 2024, the cameras were back on in Judge McAfee’s Fulton County courtroom and he announced he would make a decision on whether to dismiss Fani Willis from the case within two weeks. True to form, McAfee made his decision on Friday the 15th of March, wherein he ruled that Willis had a choice. If she wanted to remain on the case and prosecute the co-defendants in Fulton County, she would have to fire Wade. Wade resigned that afternoon.
On Wednesday the 20th of March, McAfee granted Trump and eight of his co-defendants permission to appeal, issuing a “certificate of immediate review”, which placed the case before the State Court of Appeals. His ruling allows the State Court 45 days to decide whether to hear the appeal once it is filed. Defense attorneys have 10 days to file the appeal. [2]
Democrat Lawfare 101
Full disclosure: McAfee contributed to the campaign of Willis and Fulton County I heavily Democratic. It’s virtually certain that Trump could never get a fair trial in that jurisdiction. There are other allegations that Willis’ office sent representatives to the White House and met with high ranking administration officials. The Georgia case is just one of four jurisdictions in which Trump is facing legal challenges, all of them unprecedented. Never in American history, has a former President been indicted for anything. Of course no one is above the law, and any former President who breaks the law should be prosecuted, like an ordinary citizen. But these alleged charges happened while Trump was in office which brings strong immunity claims. A President must have clear consciousness to make difficult decisions at times and cannot be encumbered by concerns for his own legal jeopardy. Apparently, Trump’s pleas for immunity have been ignored as well, and all four of the jurisdictions have the appearance of being coordinated by a politicized Justice Department determined to keep Trump from reentering the White House through this years’ election. It is extraordinary that so many people have been influenced by the Propaganda Media Complex to accept the notion that all of this is normal and justified, when it is in fact, pure fascism to censor and eliminate your political opposition, particularly by any means necessary based on flimsy, or nonexistent evidence.
Almost in unison, you see high-ranking Democrats proclaiming that Trump must go down “to save our democracy”, while it is they who threaten the very soul of America. Biden likes to shout that Trump would be on a mission of retribution and revenge if he gets elected. It won’t be a revenge tour. It will be a justice tour. We the People can only hope that Trump proves “no one is above the law”, not even Democrats.

TheImmigration Crisis
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past three years, you’re well aware that we have an immigration crisis taking place on our southern border. On Biden’s first day in office, he reversed former President Trump’s policies that had reduced illegal immigration, sending a signal to the entire world that our border was now wide open for anyone who wanted to wade across the Rio Grande, no strings attached.
Under Trump, migrants who had been crossing the border, were detained and processed under Title 42, temporarily replacing Title 8.
Title 42 is part of the Public Health Service Act of 1944 and was codified to help prevent the spread of communicable diseases in the U. S. President Trump activated it in March 2020 to combat COVID 19, and it was to remain in effect until it expired on 11 May 2023, during the Biden administration.
On that day, DHS Secy. Alejandro Mayorkas said, “Starting at midnight, people who arrive at our southern border will be subject to our immigration enforcement authorities under Title Eight of the United States Code.” Right now, he is undergoing impeachment hearings in the House for lying to Congress repeatedly, claiming the border was secure, and failure to enforce Title 8. There is zero chance he will be removed from office because the Democrat-controlled Senate will save his job, and even if he was, Biden could just nominate another puppet.
Trumps policies also included building the wall, increased border security funding, zero tolerance for migrants caught illegally crossing by returning them to Mexico, ending the diversity visa lottery, banning immigration from 7 predominately Muslim countries that harbored terrorists, restricting family-based immigration, and expediting asylum procedures. When Biden reversed all that, the cartels started coaching migrants to claim asylum.
Chart 1: This graph shows how quickly illegal immigrant encounters escalated as soon as Biden took office in January 2021 (the red dots on the graph). Notice the last month data was available shown here is Nov 2022, and compare that to the numbers shown below for the previous five months.
It is also noteworthy that in April 2020, almost all encounters were of Mexican nationals and by November 2022, there were an estimated 129,090 encounters from “other countries” (62.6% of the total), excluding Mexico (23.5%) and the Northern Triangle (13.9%). [1]
Chart 2: Fiscal Years 2021 (beginning Oct 2020) through 2023 plus Q1 of 2024, showing the rapid escalation in illegal immigrant encounters since Biden took office on 20 January 2020 (the red line separates Trump and Biden).
In Biden’s first full month in office, encounters increased 29% and February 2021 was the only month during Biden’s term with fewer than 150,000 encounters, other than June 2023 (144,556). [2]
You will see below under The New Immigration Bill that the Democrats are proposing 150,000 immigrants per month.
The Customs and Border Protection (CBP) estimates for encounters at the southwest border since August 2023, by month, were 232,963 (Aug), 269,735 (Sep), 240,981(Oct), 242,407 (Nov), 302034 (Dec), the latest figures available. The Democrats will tell you 150,000 is an improvement, cutting down on illegal crossings. Similar to how they say gas prices are declining because $4 is cheaper than $5, even though it was $3 before they launched their war on American energy.
And those are just the known immigrants. There have been another estimated 1.5 to 2 million “got-aways” during the past few years who preferred not to meet immigration officials. Those are the ones everybody should be concerned about.
According to Tom Homan, former Acting Director of the U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement under President Trump from 30 January 2017 to 29 June 2018, those illegals actually paid more money to the cartels to cross undetected for a reason; they didn’t want to be fingerprinted, they didn’t want to get a notice to appear before an immigration judge, they didn’t want to be profiled. They are the bad guys who probably have bad intentions. They are the criminals, the drug mules, the gang members, and the human traffickers.
Those illegals who cross and turn themselves in can get across the river for a cheaper rate than the “got-aways”.
It only took 19 foreign nationals to carry out the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Imagine what 2 million unknowns could do. One tenth of one percent is 2,000 individuals.
It’s not a question of whether anything bad is going to happen. It’s only a question of when, and where?
Existing Immigration Laws
Despite the repeated misrepresentations you hear from high-ranking Democrats and their Propaganda Media Complex, who echo the mantra “our immigration system is broken”, as if there is nothing we can do about the influx of illegals, and that they need “comprehensive immigration reform”, the truth is we already have immigration laws. They simply aren’t being enforced. That fact alone, raises a whole host of serious questions, as in:
Doesn’t the Constitution mandate in Article II, Section III that the President shall “take care that the laws be faithfully executed”?
Isn’t it part of the Presidential Oath of Office to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States”?
The answer to those two questions is “YES”
Why doesn’t this President enforce existing immigration laws?
There seems to be an agenda behind that policy. One that encourages illegal immigration for a purpose. Many suspect that purpose is to import sympathetic voters who will support the Democrat Party, “paying” Democrats back for the generous handouts they have been given.
In fact, illegal immigrants have been given financial incentives to come here, all paid by the good old American taxpayer.
In case you missed it, Illegals are now receiving emergency Medicaid, free treatment at hospital emergency rooms, school meal programs, and other federal assistance.
After meeting a five year residency requirement, illegals can qualify for Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) status, which makes them eligible for additional federal programs such as Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance (CHIP), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP, or food stamps), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and Supplemental Security Income (SSI), the last two are essentially guaranteed incomes.
On top of that, many states have programs that pay benefits to illegal immigrants immediately, such as California’s CalFresh Food Assistance Program and their Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI). Governor Newsom (D-CA) is currently pushing for totally free health insurance for 700,000 illegals. What would he do if 10,000,000 show up? Maybe all the illegals should be sent to California.
According to the National Immigration Forum, “documented and undocumented immigrants pay more into public benefit programs than they take out”. The Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy claims undocumented immigrants contribute an estimated $11.74 billion to state and local economies each year. [3]
The date of that two-page paper is 2018, obviously during the Trump administration when immigration was in check. It’s a much bigger problem now.
Perhaps we should consider a more recent report from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) [4], wherein they found that the net cost of illegal immigration for the United States, at the federal, state, and local levels, was at least $150.7 billion. That’s net cost, as in after being offset by collected taxes. FAIR calculated that number by subtracting tax revenues ($32 billion) from the gross negative economic impact ($182 billion). That averages out to an estimated $957 per year for each American taxpayer. Those numbers are quite different from the above referenced National Immigration Forum of 2018, and the influx of illegals has grown exponentially this past year, making it even worse.
FAIR estimates that there were at least 15.5 million illegal immigrants in the United States at the beginning of 2022.
Actually, the Biden administration is breaking immigration laws every day, thereby violating Article II, Section III and his oath of office.
The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 is contained in Title 8 of the United States Code (U.S.C.) covering “Aliens and Nationality”. Below is a partial list of the provisions in Title II of the Act, titled Immigration, as may be amended. [5]
These are just a few of the myriad of provisions in INA 1952, Title II of the Act. Obviously, I don’t have the time or space to thoroughly cover the definitions of all of these statutes, so I have listed the above in case anyone wishes to click the links and investigate on their own.
There have been subsequent laws passed to supplement and partially alter INA 1952, most notably:
The 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act, which abolished the national-origins quota system defined in the 1952 act, and replaced it with a system whereby immigrants could be admitted based on their relationship to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family member or U.S. employer. The new law provided for a cap of 120,000 on the total number permanent residents who may be admitted from the Western Hemisphere. That doesn’t mean all immigrants.
The Refugee Act of 1980, which established a new statutory system for processing and admitting refugees from overseas as well as asylum seekers physically present at U.S. borders or in the country. It further defined “refugee” as any person outside that person’s country of nationality who is unable or unwilling to return to that country because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or particular opinion.
The illegal immigrants crossing our southern border today have been coached to plead asylum, whether their claim is justified, or not.
The Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986 created two legalization programs; one to allow unauthorized aliens who have lived in the U. S. since 1982 to “regularize” their status; the other permits people who have worked at least 90 days in certain agricultural jobs to apply for permanent status. Under these programs, about 2.7 million immigrants eventually became lawful permanent residents.
The 1990 Immigration Act raised legal admissions to 50% above the pre-IRCA level, mainly concerning employment-based immigrants. It also terminated the discretion of sentencing judges in granting relief from deportation orders for criminal offenders, i.e., made it harder for criminals to avoid deportation.
The Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (AEDPA) added new crimes to the definition of aggravated felony and established an “expedited removal” procedure for arriving noncitizens who border officials suspect of lacking proper entry documentation, or committing identity fraud. Another measure to tighten up the system.
The new immigration reforms proposed don’t tighten up the system. They just codify a way to allow a much larger influx of immigrants and probably hidden somewhere in clauses on “page 6,341” (i.e., buried), defines an easy way for them to become legal permanent residents, with voting rights.
The New Immigration Bill
At this writing, the Senate has crafted a new bill they are touting as immigration reform with some bilateral support from the Republican side of the aisle. We don’t know what’s in it because it hasn’t been released.
The first question that comes to mind is why not?
Is there something they don’t want the full body of the Senate, or the House, to be able to scrutinize?
Maybe the sponsors don’t want to give the rest of Congress time to digest the full meaning of the bill and all its potential ramifications.
Maybe they don’t want the political pundits to have time to examine it and publicize its negative impact on American citizens. In any case, the bill should be released for public review and comment. The fact that they don’t puts this bill, and every other one that is kept secret until it’s too late, in “shady” territory.
To make matters worse, reportedly it’s linked to additional funding for the Ukraine war. WHY?
Democrats don’t want to close the border. They can use it as a political weapon. That’s right.
Follow the thinking:
Democrats know the basic elements of the immigration law are not acceptable to the Republican majority in the House. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has publicly stated the Senate bill, based on the leaked rough details, is “dead on arrival” in the House.
Their plan is to attach another funding package to Ukraine, knowing it won’t pass the House because of the major objections to the elements in the immigration reforms.
Remember, it’s an election year. So, actually knowing the bill won’t pass, the Democrats figure they can blame the Republicans for failure to pass immigration reform that essentially guarantees the massive influx of illegal immigrants will continue as it is right now. And all those illegals, receiving federal and state benefits are highly likely to become Democrat voters. As a bonus, they can blame the Republicans for not sending “critical” aid to Ukraine.
You’re not supposed to realize that all of this has been caused by the Democrats in the first place, and their Propaganda Media Complex will remind you of that constantly. You know the border crisis was directly caused by Biden’s policies, right? And it’s because of his projected weakness that Putin invaded the Ukraine in February 2022. Under Trump, the Russians, the Chinese, the Iranians, the North Koreans, and everyone else, was kept in check.
The only “details” we have been made privy to in the immigration reforms are that the daily influx shall not exceed 5,000 immigrants, and that the President will have the authority to shut down the border when it reaches that threshold.
Wait a minute while I do a little math. 5,000 per day equals about 150,000 per month and 1.8 million per year.
The Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952, allowed 50,000 immigrants per year. So this bill proposes 36 times that quota.
The Democrats claim it would never get to 5,000 and would slow down to “only” 4,000 per day. Biden claims if he gets this deal, he will shut down the border that day. Do you really believe any of that? Remember, he also said he never spoke to Hunter about his business. You are ordered to forget all that testimony from Hunter’s business partners and all those taped phone conversations. That didn’t happen. No one f***s with the Bidens. Not even the law.
So I say, kudos to the Republican leadership in the House and every Representative who is vehemently opposed to this new immigration reform package. It simply normalizes a massive influx of illegal immigrants from all over the world, most of whom we know absolutely nothing about, what they may have done in their native land, or what they are capable of here. Not to mention the enormous cost to the American taxpayer and the excessive burdens placed on our infrastructure. No matter what the Democrats and their media militia say, we don’t need another 1.8 million illegal immigrants coming here to threaten America in many potential ways.
As far as the aid package to Ukraine, bring it up in a stand-alone bill. In fact, stop attaching unrelated legislation altogether. Make every piece of legislation a stand-alone bill. That’s the only way it can be fairly assessed.
Oh, I almost forgot. How else are these charlatans supposed to piggy-back unpopular, nefarious legislation, onto worthy causes?
Biden Issues Ultimatum asTexas Enforces Their Own Border
On the 18th of December 2023, Governor Greg Abbott of Texas signed into law a bill that authorized state authorities to arrest and detain illegal immigrants anywhere in the state. It is slated to take effect on 5 March 2024. In the meantime, Texas has been augmenting and beefing up existing coils of razor wire at the border to deter illegal crossings. Within hours of Abbott’s signing ceremony, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed suit to challenge the new law, formally known as SB4, alleging the state is “grasping control over immigration from the federal government and depriving people subject to that system of all the federal rights and due process that Congress provided to them, including the rights to contest removal and seek asylum.” [6]
The White House has responded through spokesperson Angelo Fernandez Hernandez that, “the federal government, not individual states, is charged with determining how and when to remove noncitizens for violating immigration laws.”
Both of those statements are true, however, as Gov. Abbott has clearly stated, the federal government has failed to protect the citizens of not only Texas, but the entire country, by not enforcing existing immigration laws, and has therefore neglected its constitutional duties.
Abbott wrote an apparent open letter, presumably addressing the Executive Branch in general, in which he outlines his position on the border. You can read the one page letter by clicking the link in FOOTNOTE [7]
On Monday 22 January 2024, the U. S. Supreme Court issued an order by a 5-4 vote, that federal agents should be granted access to the Shelby State Park near Eagle Pass to cut razor wire installed by Texas’ Department of Public Safety. That order merely vacated a lower court ruling that barred the federal agents from cutting the wire until the case plays out in court. Ultimately, the Supreme Court will need to decide whether the federal government is solely responsible for all immigration enforcement or states have the right to defend their own borders. In the following days, Texas has refused access to the feds. Biden gave Texas a 24 hour ultimatum to permit CBP agents to begin cutting the razor wire. That deadline has come and gone and Biden has done nothing. He’s actually on record as saying, “I’ve done all I can do” in terms of overall border security, and this new bill “would give me, as President, a new emergency authority to shut down the border when it becomes overwhelmed.”
NEWS FLASH: Hey Joe, you don’t need that authority. You already have it. And the border is already overwhelmed.
Put those zingers in the same category as “I never spoke to my son about his business dealings”. In five minutes he could reinstate the policies Trump put in place to secure the border. The same policies he reversed on his first day in office. In my opinion, Biden will never admit that Trump’s policies worked. Apparently, he has taken the advice of his former boss, Obama. Just deceive them with lies and run out the clock. He’s good at that.
Normally, I would say that federal law supersedes state law but this case bears further examination because the federal government is derelict in their obligations to the matter. Stay tuned. It could get interesting real soon.

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.

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

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.
