Francisco D म्हणाले...: Happy New Year folks.

2021 will be really interesting as we learn more about the WuFlu Pandemic and the Democrat ballot stuffing. The most interesting aspect will be the degree to which our "free press" decides to censor the news.

gadfly म्हणाले...: “All the clever arguments and rhetorical gymnastics in the world won’t change the fact that this January 6th effort is designed to disenfranchise millions of Americans simply because they voted for someone in a different party,” Senator Ben Sasse (R-NE) wrote. “We ought to be better than that.”

For all you Trump supporters who don't comprehend numbers, the 81 million votes cast for Biden is 7 million more than your votes in favor of permitting autocrat Trump's criminal misbehavior for another 4 years. Legal actions in state courts will likely return Trump's misbegotten funds back into the economy in relatively short order - regardless of any Trump attempt at self-pardon.

Gospace म्हणाले...: The link here isn't even from the deepest darkest corners of the internet. Quoted in the link from a Lin Wood interview: A sealed document in a federal court in Maryland, sealed under National Security, documents how Nancy Pelosi, Rod Rosenstein, John Podesta, and John Brennan have tapes of John Roberts talking with Podesta about who would best replace Antonin Scalia, and they were recorded before Scalia died, and apparently had foreknowledge of his death. Roberts flew on Epstein’s plane because Epstein helped him acquire his children from Wales."

Also, something you didn't read and won't read in the mainstream media "At the hearing, a witness reveal he was hacked into a Dominion voting machine that was being used in the Senate runoff, over the voting machines internet connection, as he was testifying." I've seen that in several places, not just at the link. And apparently, noted packets going to and from China. Ummm- voting machines shouldn't be engaged in 2 way communication with anyone.

And another Biden brain fart you won't read in major media accounts: "Again, Biden refers to Kamala as the President elect." Note- again. Did you read in the MSM about the first time he did it? He obviously non compos mentis.

Then there's this which I've read in several places- but not from public health authorities: "Melatonin, a dietary supplement often used by insomnia sufferers, was associated with an almost 30 percent reduced likelihood of contracting the Chinavirus." Seems there's a lot of non-prescription things you can do to reduce your chances of getting the dreaded covid that will reduce the severity of it should you get it anyway- adequate Vitamins D and C, quercetin, zinc, melatonin, and the official medical word is- SUPPLEMENTS DON'T HELP! Even though there's plenty of evidence they do... Then there's my favorite- nasal irrigation, with a solution containing xylitol. Reduces viral load. Reduces cold and allergy symptoms to boot. ( I haven't taken an antihistamine since I started about a decade ago- when I used to live on them during hay fever season.) And the only thing any doctor will say is, "Well, you can try it you want..." But recommend it? Nope.

Got off track there with the supplements- but the main point is- there's a lot of people reading and believing this. Doesn't bode well for a peaceful next 4 years. Not after 4 years of the media and civilian intelligence establishment actively sabotaging an American President. And this is some of the tamer stuff that's out there.

And then there's liberals like Gadfly constantly referring to Trump's criminal behavior. They can't point out any actual laws that have been violated- like cavorting with underage hookers while snorting meth, violating laws on using only OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT EMAIL ACCOUNTS for conducting official business- but of course, no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute (every military ,member bristles at that lie), swearing out false affidavits to the FISA court. Etc, and so on, and so forth.; १/१/२१, १२:४३ AM

Joe Smith म्हणाले...: Steyn subbing for Rush was a must-listen to this afternoon.

His point, that I've been making for years, is that conservatives are happy to just 'hold the line' but never go on offense...they never take any of the other team's ground.

Liberals spend their lives and treasure on offense. They push the boundaries of radical leftism ten steps to the left. Then idiot republicans negotiate a 'compromise' that is just four steps to the left and declare victory.

That's why Republicans are the stupid party.

They never fucking fight.; १/१/२१, १:३७ AM

Qwinn म्हणाले...: Joe Smith:

They aren't the stupid party.

They're the utterly infiltrated party.

Leftists are dumb as fucking rocks, but they have a superpower, a singular talent of infiltration by hiring and firing only people on their political team. Complete and total political control of any and every institution they've cared to capture at any point in the last 70 years, and once captured, they never recover.

Any mechanism or will on the Right to lift the slightest finger to resist the infiltration in ANY was already completely eradicated by 1960.; १/१/२१, ४:०२ AM

Tina Trent म्हणाले...: Went to bed early, but the gunfire and fireworks from various mostly illegal migrant encampments around here have had me up since midnight. Good thing the ground is wet.

I embrace Republicans fighting, but what is fought about is more important.

Here in Georgia, we have a totally corrupt GOP that just magnified its corruption when a cabal of dishonest and manipulative “libertarian” activists — defense attorneys who slyly refuse to say where they stand on open borders, openly despise police, and openly support legalizing all drugs, wormed their way into the citizen activist movement and snowed enough of them to make them believe they opposed swampish behavior, rather than plotting a leftist takeover that only magnifies the GOP’s sleazy pandering to precisely the issues the citizen activists oppose.

So as is usual in “revolutions,” the “reform” was just a more anarchic and dishonest version of the original problem. And now we have barrels of pundits parachuting in and expressing the same garbage “revolutionary” nonsense. Both libertarians and leftists are urging GOP voters to stay home from the Senate race — including the Koch or shall I say Koch/Soros empire, Steve Bannon (shame on him), John Fredricks, the currently sadly insane Lin Wood, and even rational people in other states who are running demoralization campaigns here just to be part of the action.

These people know nothing about the real dynamics and players of Georgia GOP politics. My advice: pack up your carpet bags and go the hell home. Local grassroots citizen activists and pundits are united in urging people to ignore these self-serving efforts to suppress the conservative vote. But the drumbeat from Bannon grows louder every day. Does he now think the Democrats are more likely to declare war on China? Because that is his actual interest, not the fate of Americans anymore. Lin Wood wants his BFF, the crooked and dishonest open-borders, anti-cop, anti-Donald Trump (I saw what you did at the 2016 convention, Doug) Doug Collins, to be the next Governor. Newt Gingrich will say any garbage to get attention. All of them are siding with our creepy House Speaker, who belongs in prison for abusing his legislative privilege to free actual child molesters who are his clients.

Idiots. STFU and go home.; १/१/२१, ४:५३ AM

Made 320% in the stock market since I started trading myself on Feb 5th. My high was about 370%.

I'd happily give it all back to have the Republic restored.; १/१/२१, १२:४५ PM
