FMJRA 2.0: For Whom The Bell Tolls

Until they came out and decreed that Barabbas would become the anointed ‘Resident last week, and the other guy would be (rhetorically) crucified for daring to treat the first three words of the Constitution as meaningful. In this telling, the High Priest of the Sanhedrin is George Soros, who, of course, works for the distant Emperor, Xi. Theological note: nothing theological is ascribed to Donald Trump here.

But, as the ‘Resident FICUS immediately showed last week, we are a conquered people. The economic havoc to unfold will take your breath and your retirement away. I’m ready to blame the victim. Ten years ago, there were Tea Parties, and we let the Deep State burn them. Five years ago, Trump descended the escalator, and the Deep State is in the process of rhetorically crucifying and burning him.

It’s my sense, based upon the Trump/Pence body language, that striking a defiant pose in the court of public opinion while playing a clean hand with the Constitutional process was the optimal approach. No sane nose thinks the 2020 election results pass the smell test. The nose knows, but the eye makes the call, and is easily fooled by the Sanhedrin. Trump has not had his day in court, where an eye exam is possible. Hopefully that occurs.

We all expect that, shifting to pagan metaphor, Trump will rise from the ashes like a phoenix. It will be great if he can, and I hope he does. But, if we’re relying on one Indispensable Man, we’re doing “We The People” wrong. We need more than a single point of success, or we won’t escape the Reagan Penalty Box of being a great leader, only to hand over a bunch of great effort to the Deep State for further molestation.

Should Trump start a political party? Only if he seriously thinks he has figured out how to escape the Perot Penalty Box. A fresh organization would be a tactical loser, even if a strategic success. The knowledge to do the cost/benefit analysis is far beyond my skillset. And funding capability.

What matters, though, is that we fundamentally change the context of our government. Trump couldn’t drain the swamp in one term, and two terms is unlikely to succeed. It’s a Good Thing that Trump drove the Sanhedrin out of hiding, and made their anti-American attacks on our election integrity come into focus. We know where to begin. But even **IF** we can puzzle out how Covid-19 was used in a complex attack on our election system in a half-dozen weak states with pliable election officials, that isn’t a solution.

Maybe having Trump do combination rally/ballot harvesting events would be a good way to break the Sanhedrin’s perfidy off where they sit. The rest of the chain of custody would have to be considered. But if you essentially conduct the election in advance of Election Day, you could probably break the New Rules off right where the Sandhedrin sits.

Mar a Lago is in a Democrat district in Florida. I’d love to see Trump run for the House in 2022, become Speaker, and have a veto-override majority, for two years of de facto Presidency ahead of a second term in 2024. Not going to happen, sure, but a hilarious mental image nonetheless.

But what we really need to do that is bigger than Trump, and can mitigate much of the Sanhedrin’s grip, is a Convention of States. Where neither the Tea Parties nor Trump alone could affect the Deep State or the Sanhedrin in any substantive way, the trifecta of Trump, backed by Tea Parties, and driving toward a Convention of States could work. If we demand it and protect it from hijacking.

So that’s the call to action: support the CoS and let’s target our 2037 anniversary of 250 years of American Exceptionalism for a triumphal, re-ratified rebirth. I want power, not wealth redistributed; I want Commies laughed out of office for their nonsensical “multiracial whiteness” garbage; and I want a country where I can dote on some grandchildren with a secure future before them.

Let’s do it.

Why Are National Guard Still in D.C.?

Posted on | January 23, 2021 | Comments Off on Why Are National Guard Still in D.C.?

The people who rioted at the Capitol on Jan. 6 have been arrested on federal charges. Some of them may still be fugitives at large, but insofar as the riot was ever a threat to “our democracy” (a phrase endlessly repeated on CNN), the threat is long since ended. Yet Washington, D.C., was turned into an armed camp for Joe Biden’s inauguration, and tens of thousands of National Guard troops are still deployed. Why?

“Nothing says, ‘This was a perfectly normal election,
and now it’s time to come together as a united nation,’
like having your swearing-in behind 12-foot-high razor wire
surrounded by 25,000 troops whose loyalty you doubt.”

From the rest of Professor Reynolds’ column:

Having filled the nation’s capital with enough soldiers to invade a small country, the Democrats went further and suggested that the National Guard troops might not be trustworthy.
Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) observed, “The [National] Guard is 90 some-odd percent male; and only about 20 percent of white males voted for Biden. . . . There are probably not more than 25 percent of the people there protecting us that voted for Biden.” This meant, he said, 75 percent of them might be of the class that would be inclined to “do something.”
Many of the Guard deployed around Washington were given unloaded rifles. The FBI rushed in to “vet” the troops for disloyalty, and still more damage was done. Never before, to my knowledge, has the US government openly demonstrated a lack of trust in its own military. . . .
The division of the armed forces into “loyal” versus “suspect” units is a hallmark of a dictatorship. What’s next for America, a “Democratic Guard,” made up of ethnicities that Steve Cohen considers reliable?

We have been assured that Joe Biden is the Most Popular President Ever. He got 81 million votes, the media tell us. Yet the Guard is still deployed to D.C., and what do the polls say about Biden’s popularity?

President Biden’s opening approval rating isn’t much to cheer about, coming in below that of his two predecessors.
In Rasmussen Reports’ first Presidential Daily Tracking Poll of likely voters, the new Democratic president starts at 48% approving and 45% disapproving. . . .
Trump opened with a 56% approval rating. Just 44% disapproved. It was one of his highest ratings of his four years.
Obama started at 67% approval, 32% disapprove, which is also one of his highest ratings.

President Biden – 48% Approve, 45% Disapprove
President Trump – 56% Approve, 44% Disapprove

Is It Over Yet?

Posted on | January 22, 2021 | Comments Off on Is It Over Yet?

As we approach the end of Day Three of the Joe Biden presidency, I’m wondering how many voters are already experiencing buyer’s remorse:

President Joe Biden’s first day in office may have been historic in more ways than one: he may have set a single-day record for the number of jobs killed by an American president.
Biden revoked the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, as promised. In so doing, he killed some 11,000 direct jobs that the pipeline’s construction was to have created, and an estimated 60,000 indirect jobs in secondary, related industries.
Over 1,000 workers already on the job — mostly union workers — will be laid off as a result of the decision, even if it is litigated, as many expect it will be, in the courts.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) confronted Secretary of Transportation nominee Pete Buttigieg over the Keystone XL decision on Thursday morning, during Buttigieg’s confirmation hearing. If the administration was serious about infrastructure, Cruz asked, why was it killing an infrastructure project with “good, paying union jobs”?
When Buttigieg said the idea was that “net” jobs created in more climate-friendly industries would be positive, Cruz retorted that that was little comfort to the Keystone XL workers who were being laid off: “So for those workers, the answer is somebody else will get a job?”
The Association of Oil Pipe Lines complained, as did the United Association of Union Plumbers and Pipefitters — though the union may only have itself to blame: it endorsed Biden in August, after he had promised to kill the pipeline in May.
Biden also halted the construction of the border wall on the U.S.-Mexico boundary on Wednesday. While the projections for jobs there are somewhat unclear, one analysis (by an opponent of the wall) in 2017 estimated that the wall, if fully constructed, would create 10,500 jobs.
Moreover, on Thursday, the Biden Administration announced that it had suspended oil and gas permits on federal land Wednesday. It is unclear how many jobs that will cost — but the outlook is not good.
Most presidents promise to create jobs. Biden killed up to 70,000 jobs in his first 24 hours — and the true total may be even higher.

What were people thinking? I mean, if we assume that people who vote for Democrats are capable of thinking at all. We know that the Democrats were engaged in “vote harvesting,” rounding up mail-in ballots by any means possible, so that if your grandma was comatose in a nursing home in Arizona, Georgia or Wisconsin, she probably “voted” for Biden. You’re not allowed to talk about how mail-in voting enabled this kind of fraud, even though everybody knows how Democrats operate. It’s not a secret that Democrats steal elections. They’ve been doing it for decades, but occasionally Republicans actually manage to win by margins large enough to cancel out the votes fraudulently obtained by Democrats, and then Democrats scream “RAAAAACISM!” But I digress . . .

Beyond the manufactured fake ballots, and votes cast by people who’ve been dead for 20 years, there were actual flesh-and-blood human beings who voted for Joe Biden, and why? Because they hate Trump? Because they watch CNN and don’t actually know anything about Joe Biden?

What policies were they voting for? Did these dimwit Democrat voters think Biden actually had some kind of plan?

President Joe Biden on Friday lowered expectations of his administration’s ability to affect the ongoing coronavirus pandemic in the coming months.
Biden made the remark during a press conference addressing the signage of two more executive orders: one aimed at increasing food stamp benefits and the other for workers’ rights.
“If we fail to act, there will be a wave of evictions and foreclosures in the coming months as this pandemic rages on,” Biden said. “There’s nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months.” . . .
Earlier Wednesday, Biden said, “Wearing masks isn’t a partisan issue — it’s a patriotic act that can save countless lives.” When asked Thursday why the Biden family went maskless for a photo, White House press secretary Jen Psaki replied dismissively.
“He was surrounded by his family, we take a number of precautions but I think we have bigger issues to worry about at this moment in time,” Psaki explained. “I think he was celebrating in the evening of a historic day in our country and certainly he signed the mask mandate because it’s a way to send a message to the American public about the importance of wearing masks.”
When pressed on why Biden did not lead by the “power of his example” regarding masks, Paski shot back, “The power of his example is also the message he sends by signing 25 executive orders, including almost half of them related to COVID.”

See? He signed 25 executive orders! Problem solved!

If you think that’s not good enough, it’s probably because you’re a white supremacist who hates democracy. You’re banned from everything!

We only have to endure another 1,457 days of this.

Confirmation of our utter degradation was provided immdiately. Again, click the image and read the whole thing.
It’s not to my taste to wish harm on anyone, but this year’s total economic crash is going to be precisely what the country has deserved. Hopefully we repent and reclaim our elections from the Commies.

The TV Show You Didn’t Watch

Posted on | January 21, 2021 | Comments Off on The TV Show You Didn’t Watch

Yesterday my brother and I went to Denney’s for a late breakfast. They have TV screens around the restaurant, and the Biden inauguration was on every screen, but without sound. So you could say I watched the ceremony — that is to say, I glanced up and saw Joe raise his right hand with his left hand on the Bible — but mainly, I ignored it.

“Few people in our nation’s history have been more challenged or found a time more challenging or difficult than the time we are in now. . . .
“The cry for survival comes from the planet itself. A cry that can’t be any more desperate or any more clear. And now a rise of political extremism, white supremacy, domestic terrorism that we must confront and we will defeat. . . .
“We need all of our strength to persevere through this dark winter. We are entering what may be the toughest and deadliest period of the virus. . . .
“We face an attack on our democracy and on truth, a raging virus, growing inequity, the sting of systemic racism, a climate in crisis.”

So it’s a “crisis,” which will be used to justify whatever Democrats want to do, and anyone who disagrees with Biden’s agenda will be accused of “political extremism, white supremacy [and] domestic terrorism.”

Only 23% say they will watch all of Biden’s inauguration, while another 21% expect to watch most of it. Thirty-two percent (32%) of voters say they won’t watch any of the ceremony… https://t.co/Vwg9TFoRht pic.twitter.com/q6gqzQWj1u

— Rasmussen Reports (@Rasmussen_Poll) January 20, 2021

The Great Amnesia has begun. Everything that was said or done in the past four years will be shoved down the Memory Hole, lest anyone should be able to compare and contrast the actions of Biden’s administration with what actually happened during Trump’s presidency. Likewise, liberals will now demand respect for all the institutions we were told — just a few short months ago — were instruments of “systemic racism”:

It is with great pleasure that we can report that the national anthem is apparently no longer controversial.
As Lady Gaga belted out our nation’s song with some theatrics but relatively few deviations from the traditional anthem performance, a look at the assembled crowd showed something very interesting, no one appeared to be kneeling.
One of the main features of anthem performances over the last four years was kneeling. A protest that began with the NFL’s Colin Kaepernick as a statement against police violence, but then seemingly transformed into a general protest against the state of the country that was copied by entertainers, politicians, and others.
However, with a change in regime in Washington, it appears that “patriotism” is back in style. . . .
Vice President Kamala Harris, an Oakland native and supporter of Colin Kaepernick and the anthem protests he began, once said that the “backlash” against Kaepernick’s protests was the fault of “Russian bots.”
Harris also said that the anthem protests were an act of “free speech” and meant to draw attention to “racial injustice.”

Pretend you don’t notice these things. That’s the main challenge of the next four years, to ignore all these deliberate insults to our intelligence.

Also, whatever you do, don’t mention that our new Democrat overlords are shape-shifting alien reptiles. We’re not supposed to notice that.
