" ... Florida Gov. DeSantis a 'Strong Potential Presidential Candidate'" Gaetz

"Rep. Matt Gaetz on Sunday floated a potential presidential bid by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and implied the Biden administration is considering pre-flight testing and domestic air travel restrictions to "cast aspersions on the Florida experience" because DeSantis could be a rival. 

"He is a strong potential presidential candidate in 2024," the Florida Republican said Sunday on Fox News. "The Biden team knows that, and so they're trying to somehow cast aspersions on the Florida experience because you know what, throughout America, there's a lot of Florida envy right now."

Gaetz's comments came after Fox interviewed DeSantis on Sunday, with the governor accusing President Joe Biden of mulling travel restrictions to target Florida for its thriving economy and housing sector. 

According to reports, the Biden administration has been looking into imposing domestic travel restrictions to curb the spread of coronavirus variants. The administration isn't targeting any particular state but is reviewing how to stop the spread of the virus mutations that are surging in some states, including Florida and California. "  Gaetz

It would be very nice if Trump would hunker down and shut up so as to clear the way for a viable 2024 candidate like DeSantis.  Do I think he will?  No.  His hubristic self destructive instincts apparently rage on even as he faces the prospect of criminal and civil legal action against him.

Do I think  the left cabal did everything fair and foul they could manage to steal the election?  I do, but the time has come to march forward and the path forward lies in backing young Republican candidates like DeSantis.  The troop of howler monkeys that is now the Democratic Party will greet my statement about their dishonesty with all the usual Goebbels style screeching about Qanon, the Proud Boys, etc., etc., ad nauseam  

To hell with them!  Ignore them.  There are 75 million actual citizens out there in the much despised flyover country who cry out for real leadership. 

The Democrats are a party that despises traditional America.  Despise them in return, but find viable leaders.  DeSantis is one such.  pl

" ... enough signatures to potentially trigger special election." foxnews

"Organizers of a campaign to recall California Gov. Gavin Newsom say they have obtained the required number of signatures to trigger a special election.

The secretary of state's office will need to process the signatures and determine if they are valid.

Randy Economy, the senior adviser and official media spokesman for Recall Gavin 2020, told Fox News on Saturday that the campaign has received around 1,509,000 signatures -- more than the required amount. Organizers said they expect to have 1.6 million signatures by Sunday."  foxnews

Time to leave Murdoch TV

If you think yourself a Conservative, the decline in conservative editorial policy on Foxnews and Fox Business should have been clear to you for months.

First we saw the now fired Politics Editor Chris Stirewalt and his team of eggheads call Arizona and other states very early for Joe Biden.  After doing that his academic advisers mocked news anchors who questioned their judgment.

And then we have seen people on Murdoch air who were clearly anti-Trump and pro-left.  Neil Cavuto comes to mind but there are others like Arthel Neville.

Now we have the reflexive, probably lawyer driven decision to fire Lou Dobbs because he is named along with the network in a lawsuit brought by Smartmatic, a firm much accused of fiddling electronically with election results on November 3.

Well, pilgrims, having eliminated Dobbs by threatening Murdoch TV with the possibility of a massive judgment against it, the Leftist coalition forces will undoubtedly move on in eliminating other conservative voices using the same tactic.

NewsmaxTV now has a greater audience than either Fox channel.  Vote with your TeeVee remote.  Tune Fox out.  There are a number of conservative networks rising out of the burning embers of Murdoch TV.  Try them all.  pl

Bidonian oddities

Jen Psaki who seems an effective press secretary, was asked a few days ago if the Biden Administration supported the existence of the US Space Force.   Her response indicated that she thought the question was a joke and that she did not know of the existence of the latest addition to the armed forces of the United States. The creation of the Space Force has been widely covered in the press.  The head of the space Force has a seat in the Joint Chiefs of Staff committee and the SF is now a full member of the Intelligence Community.   A day later she announced to the WH press corps that the Biden Administration does indeed support the US Space Force.  General Raymond, the Chief of Space Operations has since offered to go over to WH to brief on the existence and missions of the SF.  It seems passing odd to me that an intelligent person like Psaki who obviously follows the news in detail would not have know of the Space Force.

 

2.  President Biden actually said yesterday  that "the great            majority of FBI agents are good people" or words to that                effect.  This was on a day when two FBI were killed and three wounded in line of duty during an attempted  search of  a dwelling.  With these words Biden endorsed the political positions of the Left rather than supporting the efforts of law enforcement in the US.  Incredible! pl

Joe is a little weak on history - The Alliance for Progress

"The program was signed at an inter-American conference at Punta del Este, Uruguay, in August 1961. The charter called for:

• an annual increase of 2.5% in per capita income,
• the establishment of democratic governments,
• the elimination of adult illiteracy by 1970
• price stability, to avoid inflation or deflation
• more equitable income distribution, land reform, and
• economic and social planning.

First, the plan called for Latin American countries to pledge a capital investment of $80 billion over 10 years. The United States agreed to supply or guarantee $20 billion within one decade. 

Second, Latin American delegates required the participating countries to draw up comprehensive plans for national development. These plans were then to be submitted for approval by an inter-American board of experts.

Third, tax codes had to be changed to demand "more from those who have most" and land reform was to be implemented.

U.S. aid to Latin America

Because of the program, economic assistance to Latin America nearly tripled between fiscal year 1960 and fiscal year 1961. Between 1962 and 1967 the US supplied $1.4 billion per year to Latin America. If new investment is included, the amount of aid rose to $3.3 billion per year during this timespan while the total amount of aid was roughly $22.3 billion. "  wiki cited below

--------------

Guess what, pilgrims, this old man worked on the ground in that program in 1964 to 1967.  Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala.  I worked in all those countries.

Over all, the program was a total "bust."

Why?  The latifundistas and gente decente  simply dug in their heels and refused to give power to the campesinos, and also refused to implement reforma agraria but they took all the money offered by the US and stuffed it in their pockets.

Well folks, Joe doesn't seem to know that in those years and all subsequent years the US has through USAID provided massive amount of money for development in Central America and the same thing has happened in every year and every US administration. The elites there pocket the money.

Some ass will want to talk about the United Fruit Company long ago.  Long. long ago.

Should the US seize power in these miserable countries and try to impose our concept of "reform?"  Ah, we tried that in Iraq.

Does Joe think that his little contributions will be treated differently by the rulers in these places?  Sad.  pl

Sam Grant will ride again?

"The white supremacist insurrectionists of the 1870s focused on just one region — the South — while the Trumpian insurrectionists have no geographic restrictions. This explains why, in the immediate aftermath of the Jan. 6 riot, the FBI found it necessary to warn of potential attacks and insurrectionist activity on state capitols and federal buildings across the country. And the Trumpian insurrectionists, at least thus far, don’t yet come with the full-throated, unequivocal support of a major political party (though that may change if non-Trumpian Republicans continue to lose ground).

But if you squint, it’s not too difficult to see how the insurrections of the 1870s and of the 2020s share a clear lineage. In many ways, the “Lost Cause” has now metamorphosed into the “Trump Lost Cause.”

“As I heard someone say, what we saw was that the Red Shirts of South Carolina have been replaced with the Red Hats of MAGA,” Janney said. Both are clearly aimed at upending the outcomes of democratic elections, willing to use violence to cow legislators — or worse. And both aim at thwarting multi-racial coalitions in the pursuit of ethnonationalist rule, a through-line of attempting to restore white rule that connects 1861 and 1876 to 2016 and 2020. As such, Grant’s experience in battling white insurrectionists presents a pair of primary lessons for the new Biden administration.

The first lesson, experts say, is relatively clear. As Trumpian insurrectionists continue popping up across the country — propelled by “the Big Lie” that Trump’s re-election was stolen—and as Republican legislators saber-rattle about potential violence if they don’t get their way, the administration has to use the full range of tools at its disposal. “There are so many more federal laws that can be used now,” Pitcavage said. “Conspiracy laws that didn’t exist [in the 1870s], laws about federal property that didn’t exist back then, laws about paramilitary training designed to foment civil disorder—there are any number of laws on the books now that theoretically could be used.”"  msn.com

---------------

The Left is now speaking clearly about what it, as a collective, has in mind for you Conservatives.

Pelosi, AOC, Jake Tapper, the Washington Post, the academy generally, etc., etc., ad nauseam  are resolved to project a vision of white supremacist insurrection that they believe will convince enough citizens and most importantly the military that Conservative Organizations and Conservative Opinion must be suppressed and proscribed.

They forget that the excesses of the Grant run occupation of the South led directly to a "Bourbon" restoration that ruled the South for a hundred years and which was focused on African-Americans as the supposed cause of the economic and demographic misery of the South's condition.  Do they think that a new Occupation Regime can be imposed on 75 million people?  If so, they are massively and probably irredeemably deluded.

As I have written here before, the US military is a badly flawed instrument for the imposition of a leftist occupation of the US.  Careerist generals and admirals in the Regular forces may be be willing to swear allegiance to wokism but their people, both officers and enlisted, in the main are of the despised Smelly and Deplorable classes.  Would the flag grandees not understand that they probably cannot simply order Regular Amy and USMC units to fight and oppress their own people?

And then there is the National Guard.  These are citizen-soldiers.  Good luck on using them to suppress the citizens of their states.

The FBI, the ATF, federal marshals?  A few hundred policemen.  Good luck to the left.   pl

"Kerry admits zero emissions in US wouldn’t make difference in climate change" NY Post

"President Biden’s climate czar, John Kerry, admitted Wednesday that the US reducing its emissions to zero wouldn’t make much of a difference in the global climate change fight — before pushing domestic manufacturing of electric cars and solar panels in favor of energy production.

Kerry’s remarks were made ahead of Biden’s signing of a host of executive actions on Wednesday pushing his $2 trillion Green New Deal-inspired climate agenda.

“He knows Paris alone is not enough,” Kerry told reporters at a White House press briefing, referring to Biden re-entering the US in the Paris Climate Agreement in one of his first acts as president.

“Not when almost 90 percent of all of the planet’s global emissions come from outside of US borders. We could go to zero tomorrow and the problem isn’t solved,” Kerry conceded.

The former secretary of state, now Biden’s climate envoy, acknowledged that it would be difficult to bring the world’s top polluters to the table, including China, which produces 30 percent of the world’s carbon emissions."  nypost

-------------

I confess to being in deep spiritual sympathy with the "swift boaters" of yore.  John Kerry is a liar who bought his way out of Vietnam and then came home to lie before the senate about things he never witnessed, things written by another liar.

When Kerry was "heroically" fishing some Vietnamese fisherman out of a river.  I and my comrades were busy burying 400 enemy soldiers at a place called Song Be.  They had died when their valorous effort to overrun the town and kill us and our non-communist Vietnamese allies failed.  Prisoners who survived their attack told me that they had lost even more than that.  So, for me, John Kerry is a POS whose only real accomplishment in life was in seducing and marrying John Heinz' widow Teresa and all that lovely money.

So now we have him in this new role, and guess what, he is still full of crap.  pl

"Joe Biden's call for unity is a sham" The Telegraph

"In his inaugural speech last week, Joe Biden promised to unite his country. But read his words closely, and examine his first actions as president, and you will see confusion, contradiction and dogma that is likely to lead only to further division.

Of course, absolute unity is impossible to achieve in any political system. Autocratic regimes intimidate and bully their citizens into conformity with the ideologies of their leaders, and try to present an image of a united people to the outside world. But the whole point of liberal democracy is that it is supposed to tolerate difference and disagreement.

For liberal democracies are built on the premise that human values and interests are unavoidably and perpetually in conflict with one another. The solution to these conflicts is not to grant total victory to one side or another, but to accept a system of government and civil society that allows pluralism to flourish within a common culture and single legal framework."  Nick Timothy

The Dems want Obedience, not Unity

Watching the behavior of the Democrat/Marxist/Anarchist coalition over the last couple of weeks,  I am drawn to the conclusion that they think their seizure of power through elections and street theater is permanent or at least something as durable as the long, long reign of the Bloody Shirt Republicans after the Civil War.  In that time all you had to do to beat the Democrats was talk about "Rum, Romanism and Rebellion and you were "in."  

The Democrat led alliance is now seeking to proscribe the opposition root and branch, beginning with the man 75 to 80 million citizens voted to re-elect and extending down through the ranks of probable or possible successors to the Orange One.

Banning from social media, actions to eject members from legislatures at the national and state levels, prosecutions for supposed incitement of violence.  These are among the tools contemplated.  People who work for the leftist media like Margaret Sullivan of the Washington Post openly advocate pressuring advertisers to threaten Murdoch over commentators like Carlson and Hannity.  The Democrat coalition supports bans on hiring their opponents at universities and in the business world as well.

"Re-education and de-programming" are advocated in the MSM as solutions for re-capturing control of the Smelly masses.  

It is now probable that Kamala Harris will preside over the senate trial of former president Donald Trump.  The US Constitution requires that the Chief Justice of SCOTUS preside over the trial of a SITTING president because of the obvious conflict of interest involved in a trial in which conviction results in the accession to power of the vice-president, but Trump is not a sitting president so she evidently is free to run her possible opponent in 2024 out of public life.

How long will the Smellies endure all this?  Well, pilgrims the tyranny of Communism lasted a long time in the USSR.  pl

Hey, c'mon man. I go to Mass ...

"White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki described President Biden as a "devout Catholic" after being asked about his stances on taxpayer funding for abortion.

Psaki's comments came during her first press conference Wednesday, where an EWTN Global Catholic Network reporter asked her about "two big concerns for pro-life Americans" -- the Hyde Amendment and Mexico City Policy. The former bars the use of federal funds to pay for abortion under most circumstances, while the latter restricts taxpayer funding of abortion abroad. "What is President Biden doing on those two items right now?" reporter Owen Jensen asked.

Psaki responded that the administration would have more to say on the Mexico City Policy, adding: "I will just take the opportunity to remind all of you that he is a devout Catholic and somebody who attends church regularly. He started his day attending church with his family this morning but I don't have anything more for you on that."

The Mexico City Policy, which blocks overseas funding for abortion, has repeatedly been reversed and reinstated by previous administrations. Biden, however, sent shockwaves through the media when he announced that he would reverse his position on the decades-old Hyde Amendment."  foxnews

--------------

Joe is a "cafeteria Catholic," or maybe  a Chinese menu Catholic (columns A and B).  He and Giuliani and all them shifty crew are Catholic when it suits their political goals.

Evidently he doesn't remember what Sister Mary Margaret taught him out of the Baltimore Catechism.  I do. The message I have in mind is that if you want to be a Catholic you follow the teaching of the Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church.  If you don't, then you aren't.

Now, nobody is saying that Joe can't follow whatever policy he chooses.  That is what it means to have religious liberty, but, in my opinion he should stop approaching the sanctuary rail for the purpose of receiving the Body and Blood of Christ.  pl

WH Harrison caught cold et voila! John Tyler was president!

 

"The inauguration of William Henry Harrison as the ninth President of the United States was held on Thursday, March 4, 1841, at the East Portico of the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. This was the 14th inauguration and marked the commencement of the only four-year term of both William Henry Harrison as President and John Tyler as Vice President. The presidential oath of office was administered to Harrison by Chief Justice Roger B. Taney.^[1] Harrison died 31 days into his term, the first U.S. president to die in office and has the shortest presidential term in American history. Tyler then succeeded to the presidency, creating precedence which would be followed seven more times before it was officially regulated through the Twenty-fifth Amendment in 1967." wiki

---------------

Ah, the now famous 25th Amendment!  

Harrison, the first president of that name, was a military hero having been the commander at the Battle of Tippecanoe, fought in Indiana against a Shawnee run confederation led by Tecumseh.

According to rumor, legend or perhaps actual history Harrison caught cold during a two hour inaugural speech.  This turned to croup, then pneumonia and off he went, on his way "home."

This took VP Tyler somewhat by surprise, but he rose to the occasion.  He seems to have been a gentlemanly type whose wife entertained well.  He, like John Quincy Adams, held office after his term as president.  Tyler was a senator in the Confederate congress as well as a member of the Confederate House of Representatives.  

What I remember best about Harrison is that in his short time in office he ordered that the US cannon factory make four light model field guns for the training of the cadets at VMI, my alma mater.  They are named "Matthew, Mark, Luke and John"  That is cast in the metal.  This was supposedly Harrison's idea.

Today I watched President Biden sit and sign a series of papers in the President's Room at the US Capitol just after his inauguration.   Joe sat there as VP Harris handed him paper after paper as though she were an administrative assistant of some kind.  Never saw the like before.  She clearly is staking out her right to act as president in waiting.  SWMBO watched that and commented on the coming struggle between Jill and Kamala over Joe's person.  pl

Why the Dems have to ban Trump from federal office ...

"Pollster Frank Luntz released results Monday from a poll of Americans who support President Donald Trump after the lethal rioting at the U.S. Capitol.

Luntz said that he polled 800 Trump voters and found that a great majority of them would vote for the president again if given the opportunity.

“Despite their criticism of his conduct since November 3rd and last week, 𝟵𝟭% of Trump voters say they’d still vote for him if another presidential election were held today,” Luntz said on his official social media account."

"Luntz said that of the Trump voters he polled, 73% said the election system was rigged, “even after being reminded that Trump and his allies lost more than 60 cases in court challenging election results.”

And 61% of the Trump voters polled said they would “never” trust election results again."  politico

------------

I watched Lunz brief on this on the TeeVee.  He looked puzzled.

How many voted for the Orange One?  74 million?  75 million?  Someone here on SST suggested that the actual number of his supporters, as opposed to voters, is probably more like 100 million when you include non-voting supporters too old to go out, too young this time, etc.

The Dems need to keep him penned up on Elba, err, in Florida where he can hold court, brood and play golf.  Could he run for Governor of The Great State of Florida?  Sure.  DeSantis will want to move on to the Senate, the White House, somewhere. 

The era of the great orange manatee may still await us.  pl

No floor action yet in Congress on an impeachment (updated)

By Robert Willmann

Four impeachment resolutions were filed on 11 January 2021 in the House of Representatives against President Donald Trump :  H.Res. 34 by Maxine Waters with 8 cosponsors, H.Res. 26 by Sheila Jackson Lee with 33 cosponsors, H.Res. 32 by Ilhan Omar with 84 cosponsors, and H.Res. 24 by David Cicilline with 160 cosponsors.  H.Res. 24 seems to be the one getting the most attention [1]. 

The proposed resolution to ask Vice President Mike Pence to start the 25th Amendment's procedure to declare a president incapable of executing the duties of the office has zero cosponsors, and is H.Res. 21, introduced by Jamie Raskin.  An attempt to get unanimous consent to take the resolution to the floor failed.  I think there will not be any floor debate on that one (See update below).

So far today, 12 January, the House has done nothing on any of the resolutions.  This morning it was in session for almost four minutes about electing members to standing committees, and then recessed subject to the call of the Chair [2].

The "Blue Dog Coalition" of 18 Democrats in the House are not Trump supporters but will probably not be in automatic agreement with everything Speaker Nancy Pelosi might want, which may narrow the Democratic majority on some issues [3].  

Careful investigation of the events of 6 January at and around the White House and Capitol building is essential, along with the public release of all videos and images that can be obtained.

UPDATE, 5:27 p.m. central time:  The House is going ahead with a floor debate about H.Res. 21 to suggest to Vice Pres. Pence that he start the process of the 25th Amendment.  It can be seen at the "live" House website at the link below and at c-span.org.

News Updates From Inside The Forbidden City

The heeling is heading our way. Over the last few days I took a little time off from the 'net. Caught a re-run of Rumpole of the Bailey. "The Golden Thread" that runs through English common law. Good stuff, not taught in school nowadays. Too bad, really. Then I tried to catch up on all the goings on, and boy did somebody kick over the chamber pot ant hill. I'm barely keeping up.

"Not since Abraham Lincoln was smuggled into Washington has anyone assumed the presidency of a more divided and angry nation than Joe Biden. He brings with him a satchel full of scandals and an agenda of mumbled promises. His pledge to be the great healer rings hollow. His recent dishonest comments concerning Trump’s advocacy of violence at the Capitol only proves the point." "The elites have no idea how angry millions of Americans are." Quotes from above article in "free Republic" (see the link). Boy, there are  some irritated people out there. 

"Dear idiots, you’re like the wife with her arm in a sling and both eyes blackened telling her husband “Please don’t say anything to Joe. He’ll be mad.” Says woman and immigrant to America, now a citizen.  "The 2020 election was a fraud — and Congress including the Republicans — are cool with that." To quote another blogger.

Meanwhile inside the Nation's Capital ..... it is, to quote Rumpole, a question of rloyalty. 

Remember - John Brennan voted Communist at least once.

"Former CIA Director John Brennan Calls for Mao-Like Public Humiliation Sessions for Trump Supporters Before They Are Accepted Back into Society"  timebomb

------------

Yes.  John Brennan voted for Gus Hall, the head of the CPUSA when he was a young man.  Hall was a perennial candidate for president in those days.

And after that Brennan applied for employment at CIA, and unbelievably they accepted him after a full security screen.  This would have included intensive investigations as well as counter-intelligence and lifestyle polygraphs.   

I remember this guy when he had just joined CIA and was working  in Saudi Arabia.  He was a frighteningly stupid and nasty man even then.

This reminds me of the great spook Gina Haspel (a favorite of Brennan at CIA) who began government employment as the post librarian at Ft. Devens, Massachusetts, a Camp Swampy like place where I started my army life.  

I was in college during the "Great Leap Forward" under Mao.  We laughed sadly at the thought of those poor benighted souls suffering through that.

Varney commented today on his show that the US is moving rapidly toward an environment in which deviant opinions and the expression of such will be punished by ostracism, loss of employment and ultimately  - what?

75 million dissidents voted for Trump.  Their party actually grew stronger down ballot, much stronger.  These Smelly dissidents are heavily armed.  Gun sales are way up.  Ammunition is hard to come by because of heavy buying.

President Joe and his "consort"  think that the attitudes of the Smellies are "totally unacceptable?"  

He should be very careful about condemning the mind set of the Smellies, very careful.   The Dems think that they can extrapolate from the hooligans who broke into the capitol to the general attitudes of the Smelly Deplorables?

Be very careful President Joe.  pl

Mostly Peaceful Protests in D.C.

Commentary by Fred.

The nation's capital witnessed a massive and mostly peaceful protest today. During this mostly peaceful event tens of thousands of law abiding concerned citizens gathered to discuss their greviences, to air them before the press and government officials. The national leadership was all gathered in the city to attend to pressing matters of state. What better time for a rally and protest and a march for peace than when all our leaders are there to hear and see. 

When using electronic voting machines you do not vote. Election workers do not count the votes.

By Robert Willmann

Everybody knows that a valid election has three parts:  qualified, eligible voters are listed; an eligible voter expresses a legal vote on a ballot; and the votes are counted accurately.  For a small organization or club, this is easy.  All the candidates and voters are in one room and everybody knows everyone else.  Each member writes the name of their choice on a piece of paper and folds it over, the votes are put in a box, and then the votes are opened and counted in front of everybody.  Everything is done in the same room.  A local, state, or national election has the same parts, but with many more voters, and voting and counting locations.  It is spread out over a much bigger area.  Many things are a system, including your cardiovascular system [1].  But since an election as a system is created by people, it is amateurish and simple compared to the sophisticated cardiovascular system.  Despite its simplicity, there is little or no "transparency", today's trendy term.  Because of human nature and the money and authority available through a government, an enormous incentive is created to rig and cheat in an election. 

Documents attached to various lawsuits, other information, and the blocking of public examination of ballots and electronic voting and counting machines are showing huge problems and fraud in the November 2020 general election in an amount that can affect the result.  But those with the authority to do the most the fastest are so far doing nothing, from the federal Department That Calls Itself Justice (DOJ), to local District Attorneys. 

The Attorney General and the U.S. Attorneys in the 94 federal districts have a lightening bolt in their hands.  Federal grand jury subpoenas are nationwide in scope.  A grand jury does not just issue formal criminal charges, it can also investigate, under the age-old rationale that "the public is entitled to every man's evidence".  Unlike the FBI, which is required by policy to have a factual "predicate" before it can open an investigation, a grand jury is in no way limited.  The U.S. Supreme Court in 1992 made clear that "the grand jury can investigate merely on suspicion that the law is being violated, or even because it wants assurance that it is not" [2]--

"The grand jury’s functional independence from the Judicial Branch is evident both in the scope of its power to investigate criminal wrongdoing and in the manner in which that power is exercised.  Unlike [a] [c]ourt, whose jurisdiction is predicated upon a specific case or controversy, the grand jury can investigate merely on suspicion that the law is being violated, or even because it wants assurance that it is not.  It need not identify the offender it suspects, or even the precise nature of the offense it is investigating.  The grand jury requires no authorization from its constituting court to initiate an investigation, nor does the prosecutor require leave of court to seek a grand jury indictment.  And in its day-to-day functioning, the grand jury generally operates without the interference of a presiding judge.  It swears in its own witnesses, and deliberates in total secrecy" [citations in this passage are omitted].

From 4 November 2020, the day after the election, until he left office on 23 December, Attorney General William Barr did nothing about electoral problems.  The DOJ could have started grand juries in multiple suspect states when anamolies began to appear the week of the election, but did zero.  When President Trump nominated Barr on 7 December 2018, I was very surprised, because of some of Barr's prior legal positions and associations.  But that is another story.

The Republicans prepare for "Opposition" status (and Trump with them)

Consider all this to be an analytic opinion.

1.  The roll out of the Republican insurgent operation for objection to the Electoral College vote on the 6th is indicative of where the party is going.  

Mitch McConnell and the party apparatchiks in congress may think that they will be able to do business with Biden/Harris and their handlers but the the 74 million citizens who voted against the Democrats do not agree.

In this context the 5 January runoffs in Georgia are largely irrelevant.  The Republicans and those who vote with them will be in Opposition no matter who runs the US Senate.

The objecting members of congress know that they cannot succeed in obtaining supporting majorities in both houses of congress in support of their objections.  When pressed they said this on the Sunday morning TeeVee newsies today.  No.  What they are doing is establishing a baseline of political opposition to the results of the 2020 election.  Along this baseline they will insist that Biden/Harris are not legitimately elected and are in fact usurpers against whom any means of resistance is justified.  This closely mirrors Democrat propaganda and tactics throughout the Trump presidency.

People who think that resistance by the Smellies (Deplorables) to Democrat/Marxist rule will disappear as a result of Trump's defeat are deceiving themselves.  It will not.  In this move we see consolidation of Smelly resistance.

2.  When the 6 January rebellion in the congress fails, Trump will be faced by a personal need to maintain himself as party (and Smelly) leader.  One possible course of action would be to start a war against a country so demonized by the media and his own administration that the most recent verbal threats by that country can be said to be a causus belli.   The most obvious target would be Iran, closely followed in order of probability by Syria.

The president/CinC has broad and legal effective powers to wage war against an imminent national threat on a short term basis as opposed to limitations on those powers under the War Powers Act.  He/she has the ability to wage war for 30 days before congress can effectively stop a war.  

Under the Goldwater-Nichols Act of 1986, the military chain of command runs from POTUS to SECDEF to the Combatant Commanders.  Under the same law, the JCS (including the Chairman) and the whole Joint Staff in the Pentagon are merely advisers and planners operating in support of POTUS and SECDEF.  Trump now has the SECDEF he wants and nothing stands between him and the ability to legally launch an air and naval war in the ME.  The small US forces in Iraq and Syria would be greatly endangered by such a move, but ...  In the context of possible action against Iran, the withdrawal of the Nimitz battle group from the Gulf should not be seen as necessarily being a signal of declining US-Iranian tensions.  Perhaps the withdrawal has been long scheduled but elbow room in the Arabian Sea would be needed in a shooting war.

Biden/Harris would be left to deal with the situation.  Trump might face civil or criminal action in the aftermath, but a long, drawn out legal battle with all the opportunity this would present for publicity might suit him well.

Would the Combatant Commanders refuse legal orders to attack?  I doubt that would happen.  pl

"11 Senate Republicans say they will object to Electoral College results Wednesday" The Hill

"Eleven Senate Republicans on Saturday announced that they will object to the Electoral College results Wednesday, when Congress convenes in a joint session to formally count the vote. 

GOP Sens. Ted Cruz (Texas), Ron Johnson (Wis.), James Lankford (Okla.), Steve Daines (Mont.), John Kennedy (La.), Marsha Blackburn (Tenn.) and Mike Braun (Ind.) and Sens.-elect Cynthia Lummis (Wyo.), Roger Marshall (Kan.), Bill Hagerty (Tenn.) and Tommy Tuberville (Ala.) said in a joint statement that they will object to the election results until there is a 10-day audit. 

"Congress should immediately appoint an Electoral Commission, with full investigatory and fact-finding authority, to conduct an emergency 10-day audit of the election returns in the disputed states," they said. "Once completed, individual states would evaluate the Commission’s findings and could convene a special legislative session to certify a change in their vote, if needed.

"Accordingly, we intend to vote on Jan. 6 to reject the electors from disputed states as not 'regularly given' and 'lawfully certified' (the statutory requisite), unless and until that emergency 10-day audit is completed," they added. 

The group's announcement means that at least a dozen GOP senators will object on Wednesday."  The Hill

"Liz Peek: 10 New Year’s resolutions for Biden"

President-elect Joe Biden, like most Americans, is probably thinking about New Year’s resolutions. Here are 10 helpful suggestions I would give him if we could have a talk.

1 — Stop — please stop — that little jog you do when approaching a podium.

We get it that you want to appear youthful, but Tom Cruise you’re not. Can you imagine Chinese President Xi Jinping trotting onto a stage, or (God forbid) German Chancellor Angela Merkel? No, it’s time to look presidential, Mr. Biden, not like some over-the-hill college athlete trying to relive his glory days.

2 — Ditto the aviator glasses; channeling Top Gun is so 1980s.

Those glasses are not only dated, they make you look shifty, which is a distinctly terrible idea. Especially with so many legitimate questions swirling around about your son Hunter, your brother Jim, and what you did or did not know about the family trying to cash in on your White House gig in Ukraine and China when you were vice president." foxnews

The whole Joe the Macho (coulda been a soldier thing)  is deeply repulsive.  For god's sake grow up and stop living in your own little fantasy land inhabited by your phantom Iraq hero son and, uh, the other one, the one who is the smartest man you ever met.

And do stop referring to Kamala Harris as the "president elect."  We all know that is true but spare us the agony of the thought.  pl

"Trump ends Obama's 12-year run as most admired man: Gallup"

"Eighteen percent of the survey's respondents named Trump as their most admired man, compared to 15 percent who named Obama and 6 percent who named President-elect Joe Biden. Three percent named National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci, while 2 percent chose Pope Francis.

Rounding out the top 10 were Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James and the Dalai Lama, all of whom received 1 percent.

The sitting U.S. president has been named the pollster’s most-admired man in 60 out of 74 years, including all eight years of Obama’s presidency and every year of George W. Bush’s presidency except for 2008. Trump had finished second to Obama in 2017 and 2018.

The 2020 rankings are the 10th time Trump has ranked among the top 10. Before entering the political sphere, he made the list in 1988, 1989, 1990 and 2011. Biden made only his second appearance in the top 10 after making the list in 2018.

Among Republicans surveyed, 48 percent of respondents named Trump as their most admired man. No other public figure got more than 2 percent Republican support, according to Gallup. Among independents, both Obama and Trump received 11 percent support. Fauci was the choice of 5 percent of Democrats but just 1 percent of Republicans."   Gallup

Bill Barr Did Not See Fraud Because He Refused To Look by Larry C Johnson

I was wrong in putting any faith in Bill Barr. I thought Bill Barr was an honorable man. He is not. He has done a good job of masquerading as a stand up, honest guy, but when it came to saving the Republic and upholding the Constitution, he ran away.

During Barr’s final press conference on Monday, he doubled down on his prior statement:

“To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election.”

Barr insists he has not seen sufficient fraud? Is he blind? Is he now illiterate? A blind cave fish can see the evidence.

So let me help you out Mr. Barr. THERE IS AMPLE EVIDENCE OF FRAUD AND YOU ONLY NEED TO LOOK IN THREE STATES–GEORGIA, PENNSYLVANIA AND ARIZONA.

• Presently, Biden lays claim to 306 electors, while Trump lags with 232.
• Georgia, Pennsylvania and Arizona account for 47 electoral votes. If those votes are properly assigned to Donald Trump and taken away from Joe Biden, Trump wins 279 to Biden’s 259.
• The total of 103,896 votes separate Trump and Biden in these three states.

There is indisputable, tangible evidence of a massive fraud that, once exposed, ensures Donald Trump’s re-election. The plot was simple.

• Millions of illegal ballots were pre-printed and shipped directly to counting centers in Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona (also happened in Wisconsin, Michigan and Nevada).
• These ballots were presented as “mail in ballots” but were never actually mailed and never handled by living voter.
• These fraudulent ballots were fed into the Dominion voting machines and recorded votes for Joe Biden. Most of the pre-printed ballots excluded down ballot candidates, which is why the Republicans won more than 12 additional seats in the U.S. Congress.

Trump signs the pork-laden spending and covid-19 bill. Maybe a vote to come on more money and section 230.

By Robert Willmann

President Trump has signed the estimated $2.3 trillion Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021.  Its 5,593 double-spaced pages are stuffed with pork to grease domestic and foreign hands in order to get it passed for the piddling $600 for some people in the U.S., and possibly more for some illegal immigrants.  Referred to as House Resolution 133, the copy still sits at the House Committee on Rules.  Divided up into Divisions A-FF, it may be the longest law ever passed by Congress.  Divisions 'M' and 'N' are for "corona virus response and relief"--

https://rules.house.gov/sites/democrats.rules.house.gov/files/BILLS-116HR133SA-RCP-116-68.pdf

Trump is signing H.R. 133 in exchange for promises, instead of getting the promises passed by Congress first, and then signing all the bills at once.  But this was probably done because the government would run out of other people's money on Monday night, 28 December, and some sort of partial government shutdown would then happen [1]. 

When the Internet was getting underway for the general public with slow dialup connections over a telephone line using a modem, some computer technology companies planned for the future and got Congress -- under the name of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 -- to give them legal liability protection like a common carrier and almost as good as a telephone company.  If someone uses a telephone to slander and defame someone, or to plan or carry out crime, the telephone company cannot be sued in a civil lawsuit, nor can it be charged with a crime as a party or co-conspirator, including for such things as robbery and murder.  It is a "common carrier", and acts as a neutral carrier of communications between people, although a phone company does have to abide by laws concerning such things as wiretapping.  The phone companies used to keep your call records private (the "subscriber information"), unless a court order was obtained.  However, after the George W. Bush administration started the illegal domestic surveillance program, it also secretly got the phone companies (except for Qwest) to agree to hand over your calling information in clear violation of the law restricting disclosure without a court order.  Lawsuits were filed because a phone company was liable for $1,000 for each disclosure.  With millions of customers, that added up to billions of dollars, but Congress kneeled down and gave the phone companies retroactive immunity for their misconduct.  Then section 215 of the USA Patriot Act amended the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to allow easier collection of call-detail records, and the FISA court, operating in secret, was told by the government that everybody's phone metadata was "relevant", and the "judges" went along with it.  This misuse of the statute became well known to the public in 2013.  But the computer tech companies quietly got their own protection starting in 1996 [2].

"And now for something completely different ..."

Congressman Ted Budd, Republican of North Carolina, is not a favorite of Nancy the Ice Cream Lady. He is one of the 120 Republican members of the House who signed an amicus brief in support of Texas' lawsuit against Pennsylvania et al.  Nancy is pondering the possibility of a majority vote refusing to seat these people for - what?  Misbehavior?  Now, that would be a "different thing."  The teeth, hair and eyeballs would fly over that attempt.

BUT!  Wait for it pilgrims!  Congressman Budd, a farmer from out there in the boondocks, has another "different" moment in mind.  He and some others in both chambers are going to challenge the legitimacy of some of the state procedures for choosing electors.  And - they are going to do it on constitutional grounds.  Wow!  pl

The Fall of the Republic - part1

"Correspondence between Hunter Biden and CEFC Chairman Ye Jianming from 2017 shows President-elect Joe Biden's son extending "best wishes from the entire Biden family," and urging the chairman to "quickly" send a $10 million wire to "properly fund and operate" the Biden joint venture with the now-bankrupt Chinese energy company.

The $10 million transfer to the joint venture was never completed.

Fox News obtained an email Hunter Biden sent on June 18, 2017, to Zhao Run Long at CEFC, asking that they please "translate my letter to Chairman Ye, please extend my warmest best wishes and that I hope to see the Chairman soon.""

Biden went on to note that Bobulinski had "sent a request to Dong Gongwen [Gongwen Dong] and Director Zang for the funding of the $10 MM USD wire."

"I would appreciate if you will send that quickly so we can properly fund and operate Sinohawk," Biden wrote.

"I am sure you have been well briefed by our dear friend Director Zang on the political and economic connections we have established in countries where you are interested in expanding during the coming months and years," he continued. "I look forward to our next meeting."

"Fox News also obtained the response from Ye as part of an email, dated Sept. 6, 2017, from Biden business associate James Gilliar to Bobulinski. That email forwarded Ye's letter responding to Biden. The letter is dated July 10, 2017.

Ye stated that he had arranged for Zang and Dong to "expedite the charter capital input to SinoHawk."

"I am glad to hear from you! Time flies and it has been months since we met in the US. It seems that we were always on a rush when we were together," Ye wrote to Biden, adding that "the consensus we made last time has been materialized in a timely manner." 

Ye also recommended Biden "arrange your people to coordinate with Director Zang and Gongwen Dong for specific work." 

"I will continue to pay attention and give my support," Ye stated. "I have arranged Director Zang and Gongwen Dong to expedite the charter capital input to SinoHawk." 

"I look forward to meeting you in the near future and discussing our joint undertaking. If there is anything I could do please do not hesitate to write to me," Ye wrote. "Please accept my best regards to you and your family.""  foxnews

Well, pilgrims, the Ron Johnson hearing today was fun.  The best part for me was former Director Krebs' (election security guy for DHS) repeated statements that the election was secure, "the most secure in history."  Pilgrims, the distinction betwixt "secure" and "honest" seems to have escaped him as he ignored questions about actual evidence of fraud, a swampie to the end.

And then, there is Chairman Joe.  He knows that nothing will be easier than to kill off prosecution of his creepy son, or to "suggest" to the Delaware federal prosecutor that a minor indictment would be appropriate, something resulting in a suspended sentence.

I have watched Tucker debrief Bobulinski twice about that payment.  The way Bobulinski tells it  (with documentation) the Bidens were loaned $5 million by MEFC to pay their side of the capitalization and then actually pocketed the other $5  million as a direct payment to La Familia from FEMC (Oh Danny Boy!) from - equal opportunity!  That was too much for the Bobster (former naval Lt., man of world finance, patriot, self-abnegator, etc.) Besides, where was his share?

Fully Exposed–The Dominion Plot to Defraud the American Voters and President Trump

I will put this simply–Donald Trump is the duly elected President of the United States. Not Joe Biden. Thanks to a brave judge in Michigan, we now have indisputable, concrete evidence that the votes tabulated in any county or jurisdiction in the United States using electronic voting machines supplied by Dominion Voting Systems Corporation were tainted and the audit trail required to prove the integrity of those machines has been erased.

You can (and you should) read the damning results of the forensic investigation of the Dominion Voting System machines used in Antrim County, Michigan. Here are the key facts from this investigation:

• The machine tabulated results reported on November 3, 2020 show there were 12,423 votes for President–with Joe Biden receiving 7,769 and Donald Trump garnering 4,509. The machine count for 3 November shows that only 56% of the registered voters cast a ballot for President. But a subsequent tabulation three weeks later (21 November) put Trump on top with 9,748 votes to Biden’s 5,960. The total votes for President increased by 3,526 and the turnout approached 73%.
• A staggering number of the ballots cast in Antrim required ADJUDICATION. The Dominion system classifies ballots into two categories, 1) normal ballots and 2) adjudicated ballots. Ballots sent to adjudication can be altered by administrators, and adjudication files can be moved between different Results Tally and Reporting (RTR) terminals with no audit trail of which administrator actually adjudicates (i.e. votes) the ballot batch.

• In Central Lake Township, for example, 81.96% of the 1,491 total ballots cast were adjudicated, which means that the decision about who received the vote was made by election personnel.
• All the ADJUDICATION logs for the November 2020 election cycle are missing while the files for previous years still exist. The lack of current records prevents any form of audit accountability.

• All server security logs prior to 11:03 pm on November 4, 2020 are missing. This means that all security logs for the day after the election, on election day, and prior to election day are gone. These logs contain domain controls, authentication failures, error codes, times users logged on and off, network connections to file servers between file accesses, internet connections, times, and data transfers.
• An unauthorized user unsuccessfully attempted to zero out election results on November 21, 2020.

Electoral College members meet in the states

By Robert Willmann

Congress set a date for presidential electors to meet as "the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December next following their appointment at such place in each State as the legislature of such State shall direct", which is today.  The Electors meet in their separate states and are to vote for president and vice president [1].  But that is not the end of it.  Parts of the U.S. Constitution apply to the Electoral College, and Congress has set out a procedure in Chapter 1 of Title 3 of the U.S. Code [2].  Ultimately, the U.S. Congress is to approve what the Electoral College does.  The photograph above is Congress counting electorial votes in 1917 [3].

Some states may have a live video of the meeting of the electors but might not keep it for later viewing.

Evidence of significant voting fraud exists, with the focus on Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Nevada, but courts have so far refused to allow the preservation and a forensic examination of electronic voting and counting machines in those states.

The Trump administration continues to challenge aspects of the election, as it is indeed not over at this point, even at the conclusion of the meetings of electors.  Today, White House advisor Stephen Miller appeared on the Fox and Friends television program to say that the problem of voting fraud will continue to be contested, and the interview starts at 23 minutes, 41 seconds into the video until 31 min., 20 sec.--

‘You will own nothing, and you will be happy’: Warnings of ‘Orwellian’ Great Reset

"A terrifying coalition of big business and big tech are so confident and brazen they are promising the public “you will own nothing, and you will be happy” in an advertising campaign for a global reset, according to Sky News host Rowan Dean. “What they should have added is ‘we the very rich will own everything and be even happier’," he said. The Great Reset is a proposal set out by the World Economic Forum for a new globalised fiscal system which would allow the world to effectively tackle the so-called climate crisis. Mr Dean said the plan intends to use the “tools of oppression” implemented during the pandemic, such as lockdowns and forced business closures as well as other measures destroying private property rights, to combat the coronavirus to achieve climate outcomes. “I've spoken before about the insidious phrase Build Back Better which sounds like common sense but is in fact just one of several slogans for the Great reset, another being the Orwellian phrase the fourth industrial revolution”. “This is as serious and as dangerous a threat to our prosperity and freedom as we have faced in decades." Mr Dean warned viewers to think again if they believed this was just “crazy old Rowan with his conspiracy theories”. “This garbage is already deeply embedded into our state and federal governments.”"  skynew

"Nothing is too good for the troops" is an old US Army expression "and that is what they will get - nothing!"  But will the "troops" accept that?  Will the "troops" accept that the Orwellian pigs should live in the departed master's farmhouse?  Will they?  The motto is supposed to be "two legs bad, four legs good," but only the pigs can live in the dachas of the nomenklatura?

The depth and scope of the pigs' intentions in such statements from Davos and other sanctimonious centers of "learning" is evident.  

Biden is a potential hazard for such plans.  His evident dementia and crime familia record might bring the whole scheme low.  He, therefore, must be treated as an expendable "card" in the piggy game.  A Special Counsel to investigate The Bidens? (someday to have a warship named for them like "The Sullivans?")  Sure, why not?

If "The Bidens" go down, Kamala will be there, standing by to carry on.  A Special Counsel to investigate the "greatest election fraud machinery in American history" might bring her down as well.

No! No! That can't be.  That would not follow the arc of history.  pl

IMO this should be done.  A Special Counsel should be named to make it as difficult as possible for the Harris/Biden Administration to cancel all investigation of the obvious fraud at both the wholesale and retail levels (Dershowitz reference).  If this is not done, consolidation of power on the Left will lead to a sham republic.  IMO this Special Counsel should be appointed from outside the government.  If Barr has to be fired to accomplish a direct appointment by the president, so be it.   pl

The U.S. Supreme Court looks the other way, ignores illegality, and denies leave to file the Texas election lawsuit

By Robert Willmann

Kneeling down before documented voting fraud and conduct violating the U.S. Constitution's requirement that state legislatures alone create election laws and rules, the U.S. Supreme Court denied Texas "leave to file" its election lawsuit against electoral behavior in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin.  In a pathetic excuse containing no factual or legal detail, the court said permission to file was:  "... denied for lack of standing under Article III of the Constitution. Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections"--

https://turcopolier.typepad.com/files/tex_electcase_order_denying_leave_to_file.pdf

A side issue that Congress can remedy is the Supreme Court's own unconstitutional rule that says you have to ask for leave to file a lawsuit in that court which has original, exclusive jurisdiction over cases between states in the U.S.  The courts exist to hear and decide disputes that start with the filing of a document describing the problem.  If you have a lawsuit about an automobile wreck, or breach of contract, or a divorce, or anything else, filing the case is a "ministerial act" by the court clerk.  The court then processes the case under the rules of procedure and evidence.  If a lawsuit presents no real dispute, there are procedures for a court to address that issue, and some cases are concluded fairly quickly without a trial.

In a brief statement by Judge Sam Alito in the order, joined by Judge Clarence Thomas, this issue is mentioned:  "In my view, we do not have discretion to deny the filing of a bill of complaint in a case that falls within our original jurisdiction. ...  I would therefore grant the motion to file the bill of complaint but would not grant other relief, and I express no view on any other issue".

Their statement is vague to the extent that it does not specify what other relief they would not grant, because if they would not grant any relief requested by Texas and the other states trying to join the case, then there is no reason for them to say that they "express no view on any other issue".  They might be referring to not granting a stay order or temporary injunction.  Or they might be talking about the issue of voting fraud.

As we would say in San Antonio, using a little Spanish, "There are two kinds of judges in this world.  Con huevos and sin huevos".  At this point, the only judge in this country who is (metaphorically) con huevos is Patricia McCullough of the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania.

UPDATE, 12 December 2020:  I realized last night that I did not mention the local description of judges was partly in Spanish, and so I have clarified it.  San Antonio, Texas has a Spanish and Mexican heritage, and so all sorts of expressions are a mixture of English and Spanish. 

Also, the Supreme Court's own rule that they can deny a state "leave to file" a lawsuit there when they are the court with  jurisdiction is unconstitutional because it violates the guarantee of "due process of law" in the constitution.  The idea of due process includes at the very least a meaningful procedure consisting of various steps -- a process.  If the Supreme Court can close the door and refuse to take any action in a case, there is no process at all.

 

Eric Swalwell and the Dragon Lady

 Axios reported on Monday that a Chinese national named Fang Fang or Christine Fang targeted up-and-coming local politicians, including Swalwell, D-Calif. 

Fang reportedly took part in fundraising for Swalwell's 2014 reelection campaign although she did not make donations nor was there evidence of illegal contributions.

According to Axios, investigators became so alarmed by Fang’s behavior and activities that they alerted Swalwell in 2015 to their concerns, and gave him a “defensive briefing.” Swalwell then cut off all ties with Fang and has not been accused of any wrongdoing, according to an official who spoke to the outlet. 

AFTER ENTANGLEMENT WITH CHINESE SPY, ERIC SWALWELL WARNED OF 'INFLUX OF RUSSIANS' IN US POLITICS UNDER TRUMP

Swalwell, who was one of the most outspoken lawmakers who pushed the Russia collusion narrative since Trump took office, is now hinting that the president was behind Axios' explosive reporting during an interview with Politico. 

“I’ve been a critic of the president. I’ve spoken out against him. I was on both committees that worked to impeach him. The timing feels like that should be looked at," Swalwell said on Tuesday. 

Swalwell revealed that Axios first approached him about his ties to Fang in July 2019, which was also when he ended his short-lived presidential campaign.

Texas sues 4 states in the U.S. Supreme Court for election law changes and voting misconduct

By Robert Willmann

After 25 years of not being itself (with a few exceptions), that began with George W. Bush as governor in 1995, Texas has gone back to its roots and is standing up independently by filing a lawsuit against Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin over their unconstitutional election law changes and the voting misconduct those states allowed to happen.

This must have caught a lot of people by surprise, since legal actions rarely start in the U.S. Supreme Court.  But it answers the question:  when a state in the U.S. has a dispute with another state, where is the lawsuit filed?  Article 3, section 2 of the Constitution says, "The judicial Power shall extend ... to Controversies between two or more States ...."  And:  "In all cases affecting Ambassadors, other Public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction".  Congress made the authority to hear the cases (the "jurisdiction") exclusive to the Supreme Court, so that no other court would be involved [1].

Supreme Court Rule 17 describes the procedure to be used, which the court can tailor to each case and make it up as they go along:  "The form of pleadings and motions prescribed by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure is followed.  In other respects, those Rules and the Federal Rules of Evidence may be taken as guides" [2].

Update: Judge Alito orders a reply by December 8 on the Pennsylvania state court lawsuit and a stay order about certifying the election

By Robert Willmann

A request was made to the U.S. Supreme Court asking it to issue a stay order and to agree to hear the state court lawsuit from Pennsylvania about whether that state's 2019 mail-in voting law violates the Pennsylvania constitution, and therefore Article 1, section 4, and Article 2, section 1 of the U.S. Constitution on elections.  A docket sheet has been created in the Supreme Court Clerk's office, and an order appeared today by Judge Samuel Alito that the defendants are to file a response by 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, 8 December 2020.  The document making the request asked for a stay order and an injunction that the State of Pennsylvania, Governor Tom Wolf, and Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar be blocked from "taking any further action to perfect the certification of the results of the November 3, 2020, General Election (the 'Election') in Pennsylvania for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States of America or certifying the remaining results of the Election for U.S. Senators and Representatives".  And, if actions were taken to do a certification of the election, an order is sought "to restore the status quo ante, compelling Respondents to nullify any such actions already taken, until further order of this Court"--

A 213-page appendix was filed with the request that contains papers from the Pennsylvania state court proceedings which were included in the article here from earlier today, plus sections of the U.S. and Pennsylvania constitutions.  Also included are the Pennsylvania voting law, Act 77, from 2019; a Pennsylvania law from 27 March 2020 that amended Act 77 and other election law; and sections from Title 3 of the U.S. Code--

https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/20/20A98/162573/20201203162757140_final%20appendix%20with%20TOC.pdf

The lawsuit as originally filed in the state court named the Pennsylvania General Assembly (the legislature) as a defendant, but the legislature did not join the appeal to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court that resulted in the dismissal of the case.  It will be interesting to see what position the Pennsylvania legislature will take in the U.S. Supreme Court, if it still considers itself a party to the case.

The powerful lawsuit in state court on the Pennsylvania voting process

By Robert Willmann

As the Trump Campaign unsuccessfully appealed a lawsuit over election problems in Pennsylvania to the federal Third Circuit Court of Appeals, an intriguing case filed in Pennsylvania state court by eight individuals represented by a Pittsburgh lawyer, Greg Teufel, produced a preliminary (temporary) emergency order blocking any remaining action "to perfect the certification of the results of the 2020 General Election", for the offices of president and vice president, until the completion of an evidentiary hearing that was scheduled for 27 November 2020 [1].

This state lawsuit presents a good, clean point that the 2019 law expanding absentee voting in Pennsylvania into mail-in voting for all voters violates the Pennsylvania constitution, which limits the scope of absentee voting in its Article 1, section 14.

The case is filed in the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania, which is a hybrid intermediate court of appeals that is "primarily responsible for matters involving state and local governments and regulatory agencies.  It also acts as a trial court when lawsuits are filed by or against the Commonwealth," the name for the state [2].

The eight people bringing the case as plaintiffs are:  a sitting Republican Congressman in the House of Representatives, Mike Kelly, who was re-elected; Sean Parnell, who ran for Congress in this election but has been behind in a close race against an incumbent; Wanda Logan, who ran for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives; and five others as private citizens.  The defendants are the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the state), the General Assembly (the legislature), Governor Thomas Wolf, and Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar.

Mike Kelly was elected to the U.S. House in 2010 and started in January 2011.  Sean Parnell fought in Afghanistan for over a year as an Army Ranger in the 10th Mountain Division, was wounded in 2006, and after completing the deployment, was medically discharged with the rank of captain.

" ... 'not statistically impossible, but ... statistically implausible.'" Basham

"Those metrics, according to Basham, include "party registration trends, how the candidates did in their respective presidential primaries, the number of individual donations, [and] how much enthusiasm each candidate generated in the opinion polls."

"In 2016, they all indicated strongly that Donald Trump would win against most of the public polling," Basham said. "That was again the case in 2020. So if we are to accept that Biden won against the trend of all these non-polling metrics, it not only means that one of these metrics was inaccurate ... for the first time ever, it means that each one of these metrics was wrong for the first time and at the same time as all of the others."

WATCH 'LIFE, LIBERTY & LEVIN' SUNDAYS AT 8 PM ET ON FOX NEWS CHANNEL

Another anomaly of the 2020 election, Basham told Levin, is the fact that Trump performed better in many key voting metrics than he did four years earlier. 

"If you look at the results, you see how Donald Trump improved his national performance over 2016 by almost 20%," he said. "No incumbent president has ever lost a reelection bid if he's increased his votes [total]. Obama went down by three and a half million votes between 2008 and 2012, but still won comfortably.

"If you look at those results, you see that Donald Trump did very well, even better than four years earlier, with the white working class. He held his own with women and suburban voters against all of most of the polling expectations, did very well with Catholics, improved his vote among Jewish voters," continued Basham, who detailed his incredulity in an article published in the American edition of the Spectator. "He had the best minority performance for a Republican since Richard Nixon in 1960, doing so well with African-Americans, and importantly with Hispanics."

In fact, Basham suggested, Trump's performance was so impressive that if anyone asked 100 observers "who were sequestered for the actual election night" and had been given "the vote breakdown by demographic group" who they thought won the election, "99, at least out of those 100 independent, well-informed observers would say, well, obviously, Trump.""  foxnews

"Georgia on my mind"

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has launched investigations into several groups, including one founded by former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, for seeking to “aggressively” register “ineligible, out-of-state, or deceased voters” before the state’s Jan. 5 Senate runoff elections.

Raffensperger’s office on Wednesday said the investigations are into groups including America Votes, Vote Forward and The New Georgia Project — which was founded by Abrams and previously chaired by Democratic Senate candidate Raphael Warnock.

GEORGIA SENATE RUNOFF SPURS ELECTION PROBE OF GROUPS TRYING TO REGISTER OUT-OF-STATE VOTERS

Raffensperger for weeks has issued warnings against efforts to register individuals who are ineligible to vote in Georgia’s runoff elections or to encourage people to come to Georgia with the sole purpose of casting ballots.

“I have issued clear warnings several times to groups and individuals working to undermine the integrity of elections in Georgia through false and fraudulent registrations,” Raffensperger said in a statement Wednesday. “The security of Georgia’s elections is of the utmost importance.”

Raffensperger said Wednesday that his office has “received specific evidence that these groups have solicited voter registrations from ineligible individuals who have passed away or live out of state.”

“I will investigate these claims thoroughly and take action against anyone attempting to undermine our elections,” he vowed.  foxnews

Raffensberger stated in a TeeVee presser yesterday that his household has received three absentee ballot application forms addressed to his son who has been dead for two years.  These invitations to voter fraud were sent by Stacy Abrams' group, the New Georgia Project.  Raffensberger held up the post card style application forms for all to see.

It looks like it will be a rainy day in Georgia.  pl

The "Resistance" now wants unity in the USA.

All those who have followed the course of US political life for the last five years know that the Democratic Party's adherents have done everything they could imagine to impede; first the election of Donald Trump as president, and then to impede his function as president.  The list of projects undertaken by them is so long and so easily listed that I will not bother to do so.

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_protests_against_Donald_Trump#During_Trump's_presidency

 

Now, in the aftermath of an election in which their party has suffered massive "down ballot" defeat, Joe Biden and his supporters are calling for unity and "healing" across the country.

 

Well, good luck to you.  There will not be unity in the country for a long time and you brought it on yourselves.

 

You are "hoist your own petard" and "turning in the wind" and will stay there.  You should pray that the unwashed Deplorables do not take up arms against you in the coming period.  pl 

A judge reverses himself on a restraining order in the Sidney Powell case in Georgia

By Robert Willmann

Attorneys Sidney Powell and Lin Wood (pictured), and other attorneys, filed lawsuits in Georgia and Michigan about voting fraud.  The Georgia case was filed on Wednesday, 25 November 2020.  On Friday, the 27th, they filed a request for an emergency restraining order because, in part:  "On November 27, 2020, Union County officials advised that they are going to wipe the voting machines of all data and bring the count back to zero on Monday, November 30, 2020.  Resetting the machines would destroy relevant evidence now existing on each voting machine. This cannot be allowed."--

https://turcopolier.typepad.com/files/spowell_ga_motion_emergency_injunction.pdf

Today, 29 November, the federal district judge issued a temporary restraining order to prevent the wiping or resetting of any voting machines in the State of Georgia until further order of the court--

https://turcopolier.typepad.com/files/spowell_ga_restraining_ord_machines_20201129.pdf

But then later he reversed himself, and entered another order saying that because the machines were in the possession of county election officials and not the named defendants of the state, "to the extent Plaintiffs seek emergency relief to impound and preserve the voting machines, that request is denied"--

https://turcopolier.typepad.com/files/spowell_ga_restraining_ord_machines_diff_20201129.pdf

These orders are not yet in the court clerk's file, but they appear to come from Lin Wood today.  I have not yet gone through papers in Powell's cases in Georgia and Michigan, and have only skimmed the first document that started the lawsuit, and it is designed well.  However, this development today, in light of the possible destruction of evidence in electronic voting or counting machines, or both, is important to know.

Lin Wood is also the party in another case in Georgia attacking voting fraud, and he is represented by a law firm in Atlanta.  I have been reading papers filed in that case, which began on 13 November 2020.  The trial judge denied a temporary restraining order on 20 November, and Wood is appealing that decision to the federal Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.

 

" ... MSNBC host suggested electors abandon POTUS-elect." Foxnews

"MSNBC host Chris Hayes has been one of the most vocal critics of President Trump, accusing him in recent weeks of undermining democracy by not conceding the 2020 presidential election, but resurfaced comments he made back in 2016 suggested he also did not respect the country's electoral process.

Back in December 2016, following Trump's Electoral College victory against Hillary Clinton, Hayes offered a "fun fact" that suggests that the 306 electors that handed the president-elect the White House didn't actually have to abide by their own state's ballot outcome. 

"Fun fact: states decide how to apportion their electors. They could give them all to, say, whichever candidate won majority of counties!" Hayes tweeted. "

"After seeing that his 2016 tweet was being circulated, Hayes responded to his critics, saying, "Wait this is still true! That's the whole problem."

"Anyway nothing was [being] *floated* here since the point is that if electors were to go to the winner of the majority of all counties would probably just give it to the Republican in every state. My point was that people should be able to vote for president," Hayes clarified on Wednesday. "  foxnews

IMO the courts will not have guts enough to face up to the fraud upon the country that has been committed by a vast left wing conspiracy.  They will fuss and do nothing, and the usurper Biden will take office, soon to be replaced by the cabal of careerist politicians, media opportunists and revolutionaries who created him.

So, I am spinning my wheels until the situation in the senate resolves itself.  I am not too sanguine about the run-offs.  After all, if the Dems could rig this once, why not again.

Hayes is a cog in the MSNBC machine.  He is an unscrupulous wretch.  Why expect more of him?

The Biden familia redux

"All indications are that Hunter Biden has substance abuse problems. If hadn’t been a drunk, we wouldn’t know as much about his shenanigans with Joe in the Ukraine and China. Here’s the story.

In 2019, an an unkempt man, smelling of alcohol, identifying himself as Hunter Biden, dropped off a booze-soaked laptop for repair at a well-known computer shop in a Delaware shopping mall in 2019, run by John Paul Mac Isaac, a Trump supporter, not a brain-dead, rightwing reactionary but an intelligent and educated man. Despite Op-Ed opinion, not every Trumper is a fat, white, racist, high school dropout with poor hygiene and an who doesn’t read because he can’t. The laptop contained, among other goodies:

• Joe Biden’s number and names of his Secret Service agents
• the mobile numbers for former President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary
• personal documents including Hunter’s passport and driver’s licence
• details of Hunter’s drug and sex issues — $21,000 spent on adult site

Hunter never returned, nor paid the $85.00 repair bill. Drunks tend do tend to forget things. Especially rich ones like Hunter Biden who get paid for doing nothing and have time on their hands to kill.The Republic owes a debt of gratitude to Jack Daniels.

Mac Isaac was able to restore the hard drive on the laptop, and subsequently offered it to the FBI — who appear to have turned it down, only to request it later when Ukrainegate got complicated. When John Paul noticed that the evidence in the drive was not mentioned in the Ukrainegate proceedings, he offered it to Rudy Giuliani and then Senator Ron Johnson — since it provided crucial facts supporting Trump’s position and incriminating both Bidens.

Out of self-protection, Mac Isaac had copied the drive and its contents. He no doubt remembered the curious case of Seth Rich who worked for the DNC when the DNC emails were mysteriously leaked and was murdered in a robbery where nothing was stolen.

The laptop is still held by the FBI. Rather suspiciously, the FBI won’t comment: it’s an “ongoing case”."  SF

-------------

You can be sure that this case will be "ongoing" for a very long time.  IMO all indications point to a history of collective criminality deserving of RICO prosecutions in the Biden familia.  So, pilgrims, this family will now ascend to the very heights of "Mount Corruption" in the heart of Swampland.  pl

Trump recommendations re-dux

To repeat - 

 

He should not concede until, at the very earliest, ALL issues in re the election are legally resolved.  Biden's inauguration is not contingent on a concession.

 

Trump should pardon ALL his associates now imprisoned after political trials.

 

Trump should not attend Biden's inauguration.  To attend is to signal acceptance of the legitimacy of this electoral process.

 

He should move out of the WH and send his staff away before the inauguration.

 

Mar a Lago would be a good place to spend inauguration day.  pl 

Michael Flynn receives a presidential pardon

By Robert Willmann

According to the Twitter webpage of president Trump, he has issued a full pardon to Gen. Michael Flynn (ret.) today--

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1331706255212228608

Emmet Sullivan, the judge presiding over the case, continues to engage in disgraceful conduct unbecoming of any type of judge, including by intentionally delaying a decision on the motion of the Department of Justice to dismiss the prosecution with prejudice.  A dismissal with prejudice means the case cannot be re-filed.

Attorney Sidney Powell is working on the problem of voting fraud through electronic voting and counting machines, which is a very time-consuming and tedious task.  I have been thinking that Flynn would have to file two more original mandamus actions in the federal Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.  The first one would be for the court to force Sullivan to quickly issue a written decision on the motion to dismiss by a date and time certain.  Then, after Sullivan would almost certainly deny the motion to dismiss, even though current law requires it to be dismissed, Flynn would file an additional mandamus action for the court of appeals to order Sullivan to grant the motion and dismiss the case.

However, since Powell is preparing legal action about election fraud issues, and one of the other lawyers representing Flynn is working on election problems in Nevada, they would not have time to bring two mandamus actions in the D.C. Circuit before 20 January 2021.  The risk is too uncertain about the status of the Justice Department and what will happen in January when Congress meets regarding the election results from the Electoral College and an inauguration is to take place.  Although Flynn would ultimately succeed in getting his case dismissed -- if he was not facing a tight time frame -- the unpredictability of the situation makes a pardon a practical result.

 

Election Analysis Using Biden's Law. By Fred

Whoah! You say. President Elect Fred? Didn't you hear? It was reported by FOX - Fred's Original X-news. You might think I made that up, just like AP did with 'President Elect Biden' and you'ld be right. What authority did they have to declare who is president?

Well, check the original document. The Constitution. Here take a look:

"Classified US Embassy Cable Proves Smartmatic’s Connection to Venezuela" PCR

"I expressed doubts about the connection the team drew between Dominion voting machines, Smartmatic software and Venezuela where the technology is suspected of being used for electoral fraud.  

I withdraw that doubt. Among Wikileaks’ releases of US Government data there is a classified cable that establishes the essential truth of the legal team’s charges.

On July 10, 2006, the US Embassy’s political counselor in Caracas Venezuela , Robert Downes, sent a classified able to Washington.  You can read the entire cable here:  https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/06CARACAS2063_a.html 

The cable reports that “Smartmatic was founded by three Venezuelans, Antonio Mugica, Alberto Anzola, and Roger Pinate.”

The cable reads in part:

“The Venezuelan-owned Smartmatic Corporation is a riddle both in ownership and operation, complicated by the fact that its machines have overseen several landslide (and contested) victories by President Hugo Chavez and his supporters"  PCR

The Dominion Algorithm Used to Steal the Election by Larry C Johnson

Sorry for using the word, “algorithm.” I suspect most of you reading this struggled thru basic algebra in high school and did not deign to venture into the world of calculus and other advanced mathematics. The explanation is simple. A calculation built into the computer software was executed to produce numbers that, if unexamined, appear to secure a victory for Biden. The numbers do not lie. Votes were manufactured for Joe Biden. The citizens of Pennsylvania voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump. Joe Biden’s folks tried to steal it.

A fellow by the name of Edward Solomon has done yeoman’s work in digging into the Pennsylvania voting data and showing conclusively, in my view, how the Democrats, with the help of Dominion, rigged the vote. What was done in Pennsylvania, specifically Philadelphia, reveals how the Dominion software magically created votes for Joe Biden to swamp the actual number of votes Donald Trump was ringing up.

I will embed the video below. It last about 40 minutes. It is worth your time. But let me give you the Reader’s Digest version. When the early vote numbers rolled in, it was clear that Donald Trump was on his way to a major win. The task for Dominion was to manufacture votes for Biden without making it obvious. They tried, but failed.

Mr. Solomon takes the raw vote data that was being streamed by the NY Times and downloaded it into a spreadsheet. That data allows him to look at vote totals by precinct and how they changed over time. He found that a variety of ratios were used in different sets of precincts. For example, his Exhibit 1 shows a group of precincts where the votes were being recorded at the following ratio–1 vote for Trump and 48 for Biden.
