Things are shaking loose. Secrets are flying out of black boxes. Shots have been fired. The center is not holding because the center is no longer there, only a black hole where the center used to be, and, within it, the shriekings of lost souls. Will the United States go missing this week, or fight its way out of the chaos and darkness?

Whatever occurs in this strange week of confrontation, Joe Biden will not be leading any part of it. Where has he been since Christmas? Back to hiding in the basement? Did the American people elect a ghost? Even if this storm blows over, could Joe Biden possibly claim any legitimacy in the Oval Office? And then what happens with the rest of the story — which is an epic economic convulsion sharper than the Great Depression — as time is unsuspended and the year 2021 actually unspools?

Only the bare outlines of this week’s fateful game are visible. Mr. Trump has not conceded the election. An action will play out in congress under rarely-used constitutional rules as to how the electoral college votes are awarded to whom. The rancor around this action is already epic. Few of the political players are beyond suspicion of dark deals and shifty allegiances. Persistent rumor has the president laying out a royal flush of deadly information about his antagonists, enough to make heads explode among the formerly cocksure and vaporize the narrative they’ve been running for four years.

A whole lot of people are converging in the nation’s capital at midweek, maybe even the touted million. It is a moment, possibly, not unlike the Bastille in Paris, 1789. They will be clamoring right outside Congress as the electoral vote ceremony proceeds. If the battle is not joined in the chamber, it’s a little hard to believe the crowd will just heave a million sighs, trudge back to their cars, and drive quietly home.

Senator Ted Cruz has come up with a pretty sound plan: a ten-day emergency audit of the balloting with an electoral commission consisting of five Senators, five House Members, and five Supreme Court Justices — to consider and resolve the disputed returns. The proposal is based on the 1877 procedure for resolving the contested Hayes-Tilden election. “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,” the proposal stated. Naturally, the Democratic Party’s news media handmaidens denounced it as “embarrassing” — which raises the question: who exactly will be embarrassed if the plan goes ahead?

On Sunday, Mr. Trump had a telephone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, ostensibly to discuss efforts made by his office to authenticate the validity of the Nov. 3rd balloting in that state. This is being portrayed by The WashPo, The New York Times, and the rest of the gang as a virtual replay of the Ukraine phone call that eventuated in the 2019 impeachment.  Consider that the notorious Ukraine phone call was an attempt to inquire about the influence-peddling of Hunter Biden at the time when his father was vice-president. Does anyone doubt now, a year-and-a-half later, with the release of Hunter B’s laptop evidence, that there was some legitimate concern there? Might anyone suspect that there is also some genuine concern about the Georgia balloting — and Mr. Raffensperger’s failure to audit the vote? Did Mr. Raffensperger stupidly walk into a trap in that phone call? I doubt that the call was casual or impulsive on the president’s part.

What I wonder, given the eerie silence at Joe Biden’s end of things, is whether there is some negotiation underway for Mr. Biden to concede the election before events move forward into official inquiries. I wouldn’t be hugely surprised if that is the case. A US election has never concluded under such an enormous cloud, and with such a show of weakness by the putative winner. Joe Biden is but a ghost in the machine, and the machine is infernally corrupt, and now just about everybody knows it, including the figures fighting so hard to pretend that it isn’t so. Something like a war is underway both within the USA and from without. Mr. Trump is a war president and he’s not shirking his duty. War goes where it will and a genuine leader goes out to meet it where it comes.

        I just signed up a few days ago to be here. It’s distressing to see the trolls have infested here as well. And I thought JHK’s little place would be a quieter & mellower place than ZeroHedge. Bzzzt, wrong!

        As Jim writes, perilous days ahead. We should all stay focused.

        • kendar667 January 5, 2021 at 10:17 am #

          Perhaps Jim should consider a Disqus type of commenting platform. Not everyone would love it but at least you can block trolls, and overall it makes for a much better experience.

          Like you, I am fed up with the Soros/CCP troll army, it gets tiresome wading through the comment pollution. Zerohedge is basically unreadable at this point and I’m relegated to sites like the Pundit which are a bit cursory in approach.

          • draupnir January 6, 2021 at 9:02 pm #

      Helm, you are a rude person. You could easily have just made your point regarding your opinion of President Trump’s style and personality. But that was not enough for you; you felt compelled to hurl JHK a puerile ad hominem attack at our host, JHK. Although you really deserve to be banned, perhaps it’s more fitting that you simply be ignored. Get some manners.

      I sincerely do not mean to hijack this thread, but after what happened today when “some protestors” (?) stormed the Capital as Pence was overseeing the reading of the states electoral college votes (?), shit hit the proverbial fan and a Trump supporter, who happened to be a 13 year veteran, mother and wife was killed inside the rotunda.

      I can’t help but wonder if she will be immortalized as much as George Floyd was??

      I am not on Twitter or Facebook and at such a time as this I could only imagine coming here to see what others here are thinking tonight.

      And we will find out Friday what our host made of the doings of today.

    Until the unlimited credit, which is effectively the same thing as our currency, is taken away from the federal congress, no substantive change will occur regardless of who sits in the position of President.

    The only meaningful change will be what entities get first crack at the newly created credit. To see a meaningful change towards liberty for the individual, that unlimited credit needs to be taken away. That’s only going to happen when entities with the necessary power come to the aid of individuals, who happen to be the States. However, they were neutered with the 17th Amendment.

    The book “1913: From General to Specific Welfare” gives a great explanation of the issues involved.

    • bluekayak January 4, 2021 at 9:35 am #

      That, and the de facto “reserve currency” status of the petrodollar needs to go before congress stops kiting checks. The outcome is that the USA becomes Brazil with crappier weather and much less attractive women.

      • benr January 4, 2021 at 10:05 am #

        I’m going to go out on a limb and say you have never actually been to Brazil.
        No argument there are some stunning women but it lacks a certain variety compared to the United States.
        Fact is you have these great bodies and then get a gander at the face and the narrative falls apart.
        Large teeth syndrome is what I called it or bull dog face.
        While we are at it you expect on the beaches to be covered in scantily clad women but for the time I was there the women all wore wraps and the European men all wore banana hammocks and there were a lot more men than women.
        The other thing in large supply are kids running around in gangs mugging people.

        • bluekayak January 4, 2021 at 10:18 am #

          No need to go out on a limb, benr, I readily admit never having travelled to the land of “Ordem e Progresso”. My off-handed comment stems from a very few anecdotal encounters, one of which involved a stunning teutonic type from the deep south of the country. USA does have most places beat on variety.

            Kudos gents, you are correct: Indians have bigger teeth then we do, sometimes it’s like something out of a Crumb cartoon. I mean who would care, except if one had already been drawn in by other attributes?

            And yes, the Brazilian South is by far the Whitest and most prosperous part of the country. If one didn’t know better, one would ascribe some causal connection between the two facts. Since we know that race isn’t real, perhaps prosperous conditions turns people into Caucasians?

    • shotho January 4, 2021 at 2:15 pm #

      1913 was indeed the beginning of the end of constitutional government. Woodrow Wilson took power along with his expansion of government through the Federal Reserve and income tax enactments. There wasn’t much more needed to set up a statist regime, which is exactly what FDR, LBJ, Nixon, Bush 2 and Obama proceeded to do. And, during all this time, no ‘conservative’ president or congress did anything to roll it back.

      • Uncle Bob January 4, 2021 at 11:07 pm #

        IMO, Kennedy tried to govern in a way to help the American people, and ended up at Parkland Hospital. Reagan tried to help them, too, and ended up having to back down due to Iran-Contra. Trump has helped the American people more than the others, again imo, and look at the abuse he’s taken every day for going on five years: the media, their subordinates in the Socialist Democrat party, the Republican Establishment, foreign governments, even the Federal government itself. I have to think it’s like hearing a bunch of gigantic bells ringing whenever he walks anywhere, just from the size of his gigantic nickel steel balls clanging. And if he’s ejected from office on 1/20/21, yes, things may go back to “normal” — we’ll have crooked, senile Joe and mattress back Kamala and a bunch of corrupt Establishment types back in charge, to the relief of Russia, China, both major US political parties, banksters, bureaucrats, the mass media, and the financiers who’d sooner screw you out of your life savings than they’d want to screw [your fantasy hottie]. And we as a people are so goddamn stupid and greedy that about half of us think this is a good thing.

        BTW, I have a vulgar new nickname for the apparent incoming Biden-Harris (or Harris-Biden) administration, based on their primary characteristics: The Coot and the Cooter. Feel free to use it liberally and often — God knows, Willie Brown sure did!

        • bluedog January 5, 2021 at 8:54 pm #

          Hell Reagan was the one to make an end run on congress when they cut off the funds to the contra’s and ushered in the guns for drugs run out of MENA Arkansas, drugs that ended up on the streets of America, so they could play their games, get use to it its nothing but divide and conquer, and you’re playing the game very well, !!

          • Uncle Bob January 6, 2021 at 10:41 pm #

            Mena, the CIA hub that kept Bubba in slush funds and his brother in cocaine? That Mena? That was largely the Deep State setting up Reagan in case they needed to bring him to heel. After he was gone, the RNC promised the Democrats and the money men they’d never allow somebody from outside the club to get the nomination and threaten their uniparty gameplaying. Then came 2016.

            If we’re criticizing dead presidents who tried but failed to free America from its shackles, should I mention the Bay of Pigs fiasco, and allowing the CIA to edge us further into the former French Indochina?

            Your turn.

      • bluedog January 5, 2021 at 8:48 pm #

        Indeed and don’t forget St. Ronnie one of the worst to ever grace the Oval Office. First it was to break the unions, so they could outsource all the jobs, good-bye middle class, then it was to destroy a health care system that had worked very well beginning at the end of WW 2,the jack ass brayed everything should make a profit now 74% of bankruptcies are due to medical bills, and then it was on to let their buddies loot the vested pension plans to usher in the 401k system.Well I’m sure you get the drift if you don’t ask someone else.!!!

        • Uncle Bob January 6, 2021 at 10:51 pm #

          PATCO violated federal civil service law and the terms of their contract by striking. That, as the law says, is essentially the same as quitting their jobs. He accepted their resignations and moved on. Ruthless? Maybe. But that’s the law, and he was dealing with assholes who thought they could push around a former union president.

          Full disclosure: My Daddy was a Teamsters steward, and I’m a member of the AFL-CIO. Don’t give me shit about unions.

          You bitch about the cost of medical service being so bad that it bankrupt people. The costs are high, and as JHK has written, its a racket. I have stories about hospitals milking the hell out of both my insurance and me with multiple procedures that could’ve been done in one trip, at lower cost in time and money. All of that said, patients here generally don’t have to wait as lo g as they do in many other countries, nor are they financially ass-raped by the tax man to pay for those services. I suppose the alternative, less service and higher taxes, with fewer available medical treatment options, is preferable in your opinion.

    For Congress, the question is who do you want to fight?

    A bunch of BLM/ANTIFA thugs, or the rest of us.

    Seems like a no-brainer.

    • Rulo Deschamps January 4, 2021 at 10:08 am #

      Pete, “For Congress, the question is who do you want to fight?”

      All of the MSM, all of social media, much of the plutocrats & Wall St, most foreign govt’s & opinion, the Pope, the UN, a sizable chunk of US voters (we’ll never know how many, only that it wasn’t enough to win without fraud; but a sizable chunk nevertheless), Hollywood, business addicted to illegal labor, academia, China… and last & least, the thugs.

      Or the rest of us.

      Odds are not good. But it sometimes happens that your team is losing 1-nil, scores in the last minute forcing additional time, holds those extra 30 minutes & forces a penalty definition, our goalie is inspired, our guys all put it in the net and we win. Those are sweet victories, the best, snatched from defeat.

      Let it happen. Let our collective energy make it happen.

    Senator Cotton, in an extraordinary display of “normalcy bias” thinks the electoral vote challenge sets a dangerous precedent. As if, letting it slide, allows us to return to the way things were. He thinks, he’ll need to work with the Biden administration.

    This kind of thinking is pervasive in our society as this critical moment when everything is about to change, where “normal” is fading from sight in the rear view mirror.

    There are no precedents, there is no “Fist Bump” diplomacy to be had. We are having our Thelma and Louise moment. Don’t look back.

        Half the draw to this site is some of the actual people responding to Jim’s twice weekly musings.
        Losing the comments section would reduce the number of hits to the site by a huge margin.
        I would also like to see stats on how many ddos attacks this site has endured as I was getting some pretty standard signs it was under some kind of attack for the last several weeks.

        It could also be the site database is suffering some form of corruption.

      I would disagree, Buk Ghost. Although I LOVE reading Jim’s original take on society and it’s ills, I’m very partial to and spend much more time perusing the comments. Although jim’s writing is original and prescient, there are some very insightful folks who comment regularly here who I always look forward to hearing from (not TDS ppl like helm of course), even those I may disagree with strongly (KDog appears to be back for more).

      In any event, I would be very upset if the comment section were taken away.

    So half of the country sees the obvious bullshit that took place in this election and wants something done about it.

    The other half refuses to see anything in it, at any level.

    Contesting an election based on allegations, affidavits and video evidence of fraud is now conflated with committing election fraud to that latter half of the population.

    We watched that same half do the same damn thing for the last four years, yet now claims nothingburger in this instance. Makes sense to me. Logic is…sound…n stuff.

    Let us not forget that House Democrats formally contested the electoral count in 2000, 2004 and 2016. And now the same people are saying that those who do the same now are petty, conspiracy theorists, and guilty of sedition.

    Okay. This should go…well…

      Mr Mango, “The other half refuses to see anything in it, at any level”. I see it all the time! “There is no worse blind man than the one who doesn’t want to see”

      But not a lot want to think for themselves. And it’s hard work to try and “see” through a wall of censorship and propaganda with few cracks in it.

      A great many have been lulled into conformity by CNN & such, and their attention has moved away from the election weeks ago.

      Fait accompli, they say. Heads will explode, JHK says. I hope JHK calls it right, but it’s a long shot.

        “A great many have been lulled into conformity by CNN & such, ***and their attention has moved away from the election weeks ago.***”

        That’s the real catch there. People have no attention span. They tire of controversies, especially when they involve paperwork, affidavits, legalese other “boring” details…no matter how much they may actually affect them.

        As soon as Biden declared his victory (after saying he wouldn’t until certified by the electors), the whole story went right back to Covid, which no one seemed to really care about in the few months before the election. Funny how that works…

        • Yohannon January 4, 2021 at 1:10 pm #

          Let’s enjoy a little irony here:

          Mr.Mango

          The people who are trustfully standing in line to receive the Phizer/Moderna mRNA vaccines that will alter their cellular DNA are for the most part the same ones who believe that a dirty cloth face diaper is the one thing that is protecting them until they receive the Cure. And they are the same ones who believe that the measure of Democracy is whether their preferred candidate is victorious by any means necessary.

          One of the potential long term accidental results of the USA mRNA gene alteration scheme is that it will result in females being unable to form placental tissue and thus become sterile for life. Wouldn’t it be ironic if the final cure for Wokesterism and Neoliberialism were for all of the Demonrat and Repugnant true believers to simply die off due to reproductive failure!

          Has anyone else noticed that during his public appearances Bill Gates looks more and more like he is auditioning for the role as Mad Scientist in some horror movie?

            Thanks for highligting the fact that it ain’t a vaccine – it’s a genetic modification. One of the few laughs to be had out of the China Flu hysteria is offering friends a meal and telling them that it contains GM ingredients. When they give their usual shriek of horror and call me a murderer, I ask them if they are happy with their GM vaccine. And these are intelligent people.

          • mccobb January 4, 2021 at 7:39 pm #

            Sorry, but this conspiracy theory that mRNA vaccines alter cellular DNA is BS. I know this because I’ve researched many articles, videos, and medical journals to understand how the SARS-CoV-2 virus works.

            A cell’s DNA stays in its nucleus. The nucleus sends messenger RNA to the Ribosome to synthesize proteins. The Ribosome is fooled by the virus’ RNA and transcribes as many as a million virus particle copies that bud out of the cell. The mRNA, or messenger RNA, vaccine instructs the Ribosome to transcribe antigens that fight the virus.

            It’s new, don’t take it. Don’t wear a dirty diaper across your face. Go to bars. Kill granny. She’ll agree with you. And you may get her house after she dies.

          Addiction to “the tube”. Such addiction can be overcome. The first step is to realize it as an addiction. The next is to turn it off. Cold-turkey or conscious weaning is in order. Read. Research. Seek out opposing opinion and apply critical thinking skills.

          So difficult for many to do. ATTV =. Addiction to TV. It is the feeding of a one-way stream of information into the brain/thought process of the viewer. Thought insertion is another term which could be applied.

      Let’s not forget that this is not partisan, but I know, you’re either with Trump the hero or the deep state swamp. Let the games begin, 2 days for DC Mayhem. We’ll see how well our institutions can handle a mob of 1 million. In theory, 1 million angry people even have the power to overthrow legal elections, and if we have to shoot them, that’ll just add to the conviction that the government is our enemy. Could Russia or China do any better than Trump in dividing us all?
      https://www.romney.senate.gov/romney-statement-certification-presidential-election-results
      “The egregious ploy to reject electors may enhance the political ambition of some, but dangerously threatens our Democratic Republic. The congressional power to reject electors is reserved for the most extreme and unusual circumstances. These are far from it. More Americans participated in this election than ever before, and they made their choice. President Trump’s lawyers made their case before scores of courts; in every instance, they failed. The Justice Department found no evidence of irregularity sufficient to overturn the election. The Presidential Voter Fraud Commission disbanded without finding such evidence.

      “My fellow Senator Ted Cruz and the co-signers of his statement argue that rejection of electors or an election audit directed by Congress would restore trust in the election. Nonsense. This argument ignores the widely perceived reality that Congress is an overwhelmingly partisan body; the American people wisely place greater trust in the federal courts where judges serve for life. Members of Congress who would substitute their own partisan judgement for that of the courts do not enhance public trust, they imperil it.

      “Were Congress to actually reject state electors, partisans would inevitably demand the same any time their candidate had lost. Congress, not voters in the respective states, would choose our presidents.

      “Adding to this ill-conceived endeavor by some in Congress is the President’s call for his supporters to come to the Capitol on the day when this matter is to be debated and decided. This has the predictable potential to lead to disruption, and worse.

        Cruz’s plan insures business as usual or a Biden victory. The Supreme Court already revealed what kind of people they are – the kind unworthy of their position. Ditto for any other senatorial body put together chances are.

        He won. And He must secure his victory. That is all. These people cannot be allowed into power. They cannot be “convinced” since they are Liars and the Truth is not in them. And as for Americas, those wo don’t know by now won’t ever “know”. They are believers. They will be told what to believe once He controls the media.

        Once the crisis is past, the media can be returned to private hands (for the most part), selling it off to Patriotic groups or individuals. Surely we’re not going to shoot ourselves in the foot again and let scumbag traitors indoctrinate the people 24/7?

      Can’t argue with your point about “choosing your own adventure”, and what feels real or not. Certainly upfront bias affects us all to some extent.

      It is rather striking that the media for four years were positive there was something there when there wasn’t in RussiaGate (at least provable, as you pointed out), yet now they are positive there is nothing there when there was obviously something (at least somewhat provable…video evidence of people swapping in ballots is more than they ever had to go on with RussiaGate).

      It should at least be treated similarly. But there will be no concessions if it’s regarding the wrong party, or mainly just the “wrong guy”.

        Nice balanced approach. If they have nothing to hide, why not at least let the investigation proceed?

      The argument for a mandatory vaccine rests on protecting the public. Since this “vaccine” can’t stop anyone from getting or transmitting the virus, that argument flies out the window.

      Not that facts or logic enter into the COVID 1984 hysteria.

      BTW, it’s funny that Jonestown was referenced today, because I had come here intending to mention the parallels between that episode and this vaccine push.

      Dr. Fauci, who is a known fraud and quack, is now calling for a central government to allow someone, probably him, to order things like this vaccine, and he is saying that children will have to have it too.

      Some of the mothers at Jonestown resisted having their babies dosed with the cyanide-laced Flavor Aid, but it was much to late.
      Men with guns saw to that.

      Men with guns (the military) are involved in the distribution of this pseudo-vaccine.
      Dr. Fauci, addled octogenarian, and Health Dictator For Life, is of course the Jim Jones figure.

      I’m not sure what role Dr. Scott Atlas played, maybe one of the Congressmen who went down to Guyana to see what was going on.

      The people had plenty of warning that Jim Jones was dangerous, but most ignored the signs.

        Taki mag—this week,
        Which brings us to Dr. Kizzmekia “Kizzy” Corbett, or “Dr. Kizzy,” as she likes to be called. Dr. Kizzy is an immunologist with the National Institutes of Health, and this year she’s been part of the team working on a vaccine for Covid.

        More specifically, she’s been involved with the vaccine being developed by Moderna (as opposed to the Pfizer one that came out first).

        And boy, do all the right people want you to believe that Kizzy is the Covid savior.

        “Dr. Fauci wants people to know that one of the lead scientists who developed the Covid-19 vaccine is a Black woman,”
        screamed CNN.

        “Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett—Why You Should Know Her Name” read the Yahoo News headline. “History books will celebrate the name and achievements of Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett, the Black Woman who was the leader in developing the COVID-19 vaccine,” bleated Barbara Arnwine, president of a tumorous waste of space known as the Transformative Justice Coalition. And the National Newspaper Publishers Association wire service proclaimed, “A Black woman, Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett, developed the scientific approach to the Coronavirus vaccine.

            Are you kidding? I adore the guys. There’s nothing like having a drag queen do your makeup and hair. A place I sold pull tabs at, in my checkered career, had a drag show every week, so I got to know a large number of the local community, at least those with a tendency to spend time in bars. They’re great fun to go shopping with and do lunch with. They’re lewd and witty and tell the best jokes. They’re mostly kind. The women are of an entirely darker and more frightening nature. They have issues I don’t really understand, are overly aggressive and have a tendency to steal money from a purse. I don’t believe either gays or lesbians belong in politics. I am not a fan of women in that field either, though I am a woman. Refer to Kipling’s poem, The Female of the Species, if you’re interested in the why of it.

          • Yohannon January 5, 2021 at 12:02 pm #

            Ok. So you like Gays, just not the kind who don’t like women or want anything to do with them. The minority I think we’d both agree.

    Did anyone see Times Square on TV this New Year’s Eve? Oh, the flashing light show, the crowd noises without the crowd, police buses blocking access and over 100 police standing in formation like storm troopers ready to chase away any revelers if they dared to show up. Superimposed over this, Frank Sinatra cheerfully belting out a rendition of “New York, New York”.

    “Joe Biden is but a ghost in the machine, and the machine is infernally corrupt, and now just about everybody knows it, including the figures fighting so hard to pretend that it isn’t so.”

    This is genuine “wokeness”.

    Coming to terms with the deep-seated and deeply hidden American corruption.

    From the mundane to the monumental.

    Having lived outside the US in various places, and being able to look back from a different perspective with a different lens, I was able to see it all too clearly.

    Americans take affront at having to “bribe” a policeman or other bureaucratic functionary, but how much cheaper and easier it is than paying the institutionalized graft that we accept as codified procedure in the US.

    You could slip a cop a $10 note or you can pay the US court costs. The fees, the points, the lawyers the judges. The bribe/fine ensures everyone’s cut. Need to get those points down, hire an attorney to say “no-contest”. Pay the fee. Hundreds of dollars and many hours later you are absolved. Sort of. You’re left feeling like you did things the right way, even while getting robbed in the process. For going 50 in a 35 no less. That’s the insidiousness of the whole affair.

    The US also likes to play a charade with its deep state operations. The entrenched bureaucratic and military hierarchy that consume and grow at all cost. No president is going to get in the way of that, particularly the espionage/war/offense department.
    Banana republic? Who? Us?

    Its bellicosity, its bullying, its patrician class composed of lifelong politicians paid to stay in office by the monied and corporate interests that keep them there. Term after term after term.

    But you get to vote, right?That is the theater portion again. Makes everything appear above board. Makes you feel like you have a say.
    It is all in the ritual.

    Like the artful Toki Highball. Chill. Clear ice. stir counter-clockwise 3 times. No more.

    It feels better that way.
    Ritual.
    It feels authenticated.

    • hmuller January 4, 2021 at 12:11 pm #

      If the year’s stolen election is allowed to stand, I will never vote again. I refuse to give my validation to a system of blatant fraud.

      All you disingenuous, snarky trolls (helm, jeremystoltzfus, cookie Aguilara, bebo, et al.) think you’ve won. But when you make a fraudulent mockery of the ballot box for all to see, you invite bullets to settle matters.

      • lateStarter January 4, 2021 at 12:27 pm #

        I’d just like to say that even though I am not a big fan of Trump and I detest the republican party in general, the last four
        years of dem obstruction and nonsensical pursuit of the Orange one has totally turned me against the dem party. I realize the
        rot goes much deeper (the more I learn about Obama and the Clintons, the sicker I get).I have never voted for anyone and just
        tended to consider myself an interested observer.

        But seriously. The last four years have been beyond bizarre. And now with obvious election irregularities (I am being kind here)
        the American public is being encouraged to just move along, nothing to see here. We (dems) are the good guys (and gals) you can trust us.

        I think the dems just overplayed their hand. They would not have needed to if they just ran an electable opponent, but they did not;

        From Orlov: But it all worked out thanks to the wonderful US public education system. It has produced several generations of Americans who can barely count on their fingers and toes. Were they able to do basic arithmetic, they would have spotted the problem: 74 million votes for Trump plus 81 million votes for Biden gives us 155 million votes total. But there were only 153 million registered voters just two years ago, so that’s 101% voter turn-out. And then 160 million are said to have voted, so that’s 104.5% turn-out! Compare that to 55.7% turn-out in the 2016 election. There is no way to make the numbers make any sense. Since 2016 the US population grew by justunder 8 million. Optimistically assuming half of them became eligible to vote; that would add 4 million to the rolls. Optimistically assuming all of them actually registered to vote, that would only make 157 million. Accept the reported stunning voter turn-out number for 2020 of 66.7%. That’s just under 105 million votes total—nowhere near then 160 million number that has been reported. If Trump got 74 million votes, as reported, then just 31 million votes would be the theoretical maximum for Biden—less then half as many as for
        Trump.

        Votes should be hand counted. Anything else is just asking for trouble.

        • 100th Avatar January 4, 2021 at 1:17 pm #

            Of course, but there are ways of getting in done. Other countries seem to be able to do it although it is getting more difficult. Electronic voting/counting is just asking for manipulation.

        I totally agree. It is definitely a lose-lose situation. Here in Georgia, thank God the robo calls have finally stopped. I actually voted a couple of weeks ago, all the while knowing that the same damn machines used in the Presidential fiasco are still humming right along. It’s a foregone conclusion that if the Biden election stands and the Georgia election goes to the Dems the republic is done for. If that be the case future voting will most likely be done by mailed fist.

    Why the split?

    Why are the two political entities in this country so far apart? Progressives vs. Right wingers, no moderates to be found that matter. Why?

    Here is a stab.

    We have two groups of people in the US today.

    The first are old school Americans, focused on a credo that is from the 20th century. Culturally, European in nature, White, accepting all comers that want to share in that vision. They are aggressive, entrepreneurial, individualistic freedom lovers who want no part of the government in their lives.

    The second group have developed from two sources. Kids that have never had to feel any sort of collective responsibility or service to community at all. A big chunk have been exposed to an education system that is leaning far Left. The second group are Latin immigrants, both legal and illegal. They are ALL from socialistic countries and expect the government to support them when bad economies do not. These two are the Gimmes. They feel that the government’s function is to take care of them. Used to say, cradle to grave.

    Actually, there is a third group that joins the Gimmes. These are the Deep State Elite that make their living suckering people from the second group primarily but some from the first. This group is out for one thing, maintaining their power base and the sanctity of the Deep State. Their result is the biggest con game in human history.

    I have been observing the fiasco called election 2020. My feeling is that due to the success of group three, the second group has flowered in population in the country. Open borders and the Marxist takeover of liberal arts education in the country have changed the demographics of the country. The first group has spread itself widely across the country. The second group are in the cities. Georgia is a good examples as it’s polity is in the process of changing from group one to group two. Atlanta has been the focus of the Liberalization of the South. Fulton county now sets the vote in Georgia. Another urban state, North Carolina, is very close to flipping. Heck, where I live, Phoenix is doing the same.

    Urban vs. everyone else. Due to Deep State control and policies, the country is flipping to a socialistic, Gimme State, government control model as group two becomes the dominant thread of society armed by group three. Biden’s potential win will cement in the ascent of group two and three. The fight to show this election was corrupted is just the beginning. Trump sees the ascent of the socialists as the beginning of the end of group one. He is fighting a losing battle against a demographic shift in the country.

    I believe Ted Cruz’s election assessment is a good move. Either this election was phony and corrupted or it isn’t. We are at a threshold of change, basic change, in the country. If the third group cheated to win, it is vital to show it. If not, it is vital to show how the country has changed and what to expect of the future.

    If you are group one or group two, your reaction to this election is different. If it was bought by a group of crooks, that is one thing. If it is legit, that is another. Both sides need reality to make decisions of what to do next.

    Lincoln won in 1860, and the South said they were out of here. Biden wins in 2020 and group one may be outa here.

    New story here, urban gun sales are surging. Hmmm!

    • feralandroid January 4, 2021 at 12:17 pm #

      Not directly disagreeing with you, but I think you left out the female vs. male aspect to all of this. Majority of Women vote for the Gimme stuff, and the majority of men vote to be left alone. Women are taking over the political, educational, and corporate sectors. Men still keep the lights turned on though.

        @feralandroid

        Good observation on the female vs male angle. Men create most resources. Women use their wiles to gather those resources from the men. It’s how nature designed the ladies. They are instinctively nest builders. They are hard wired for it. They will always vote for “gimmes” at far higher rates than the men. This is why female enfranchisement was the stupidest thing America ever did. Women should not vote, period. That’s what the family unit is for. The man votes for the best interests of himself, his wife, and his children. In this way the interests of all are served, but rationality continues to rule the day.

        Sorry, ladies, but you know I’m right on this. Only about 1/3 of female voters can exercise enough self-restraint on their female nature to allow themselves to vote on the basis of logic, reason, and facts instead of out of emotion, sympathy, empathy, pity, and a host of other touchy-feely feelings. Maggie Thatcher knew this well. She was the exception that proves the rule.

        OK. Let the purses and rolling pins fly!!!

      I agree that vast number of uneducated people from So America immigrating illegally is the problem but, aside from Cuba, which other Latin country is socialist that they come from?
      Oddly, exceptionally educated, legal immigrants to US from former socialist European countries get themselves incorporated into the system without missing a beat and do prosper and, even more so, does not see a commie behind every blade of grass as a main culprit of today’s paradigm.

        Then they’re reacting against corrupt dictatorships that don’t care about them. They want to be care about. And the American Left does, putting them above Whites. What’s not to like?

        Most of those individuals, like the Cubans, came here to get away from socialism. They do not bring it with them, quite the contrary.

        These caravans are comprised of people dependent on their governments for a living, and the failure of these governments to provide economically for them makes them move here. They believe that the USA is economic Disneyland that will give them jobs and make them rich, in their eyes.

        BTW, our economy contraction may put us in the same situation, where are we going to go? News story said that Dreamers are heading back to Mexico because of little opportunity in the US. A portend of things to come.

          I am not aware of banana republics of the South America being generous with government hand outs. I think of them as housing very small, extremely rich elite, hardly middle class to speak of and vast majority of dirt poor that nobody gives fuck about. Current “generosity” of the US government is just a transitional tool until we reach “banana status”, like the one that you are hinting at the end of the reply.
          Calling current slobs “Left” or is an insult to real left from American distant past who were clubbed, maimed or killed on the streets so we can go out of town on Saturdays and Sundays, since they are no work days for many. That past is conveniently
          buried for prevailing ideological reasons and, oddly, accepted as non existent buy the working class of the country.
          Or, God forbid, “antifa”. An insult, again, to fighters on Barcelona streets in 1936 or resistance fighters in WWII Europe (who happen to be mostly commies).
          Aaaah that. Typical deflated response. that I get, even though I could care less other than stating facts.

          • Rulo Deschamps January 4, 2021 at 6:17 pm #

            Svrzo,
            besides Cuba, I think right now only Venezuela and Nicaragua are full Socialist nightmares. So obviously many of those immigrants supported Trump, I mean the ones who have become US citizens and can vote. Many other Latin American immigrants have also experienced different forms of socialism in their countries over the years, and so detest it and vote against it. True, still others, the most ignorant and “gimme” types go Democrat, as part of their ethnic plantation. But you’d be surprised how many of us legal, hardworking and educated immigrants supported Mr Trump. Hell, other years I voted Libertarian.

            “I am not aware of banana republics of the South America being generous with government hand outs. I think of them as housing very small, extremely rich elite, hardly middle class to speak of and vast majority of dirt poor that nobody gives fuck about.” Well, you’re right in some cases: the tiny Central American republics and some S American very poor and backward countries like Bolivia or Paraguay. Other South American nations historically have had strong middle classes, albeit now under much pressure: Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil, and to a lesser degree, Chile and Colombia.

            And the only way the feral classes in those countries get under some sort of control is by massive handouts. Everyone on the dole, paid for by the long-suffering and shrinking middle classes.

            Aside from misery inflicted to its citizens, Eastern block countries in Europe still did convey some sense of order or normalcy with exception of Romania and Albania. As I mentioned way above they did provide superb education to most of it’s people and after the rough tumble in 80’s and 90’s those became true marketable “citizens of the world” if desired.
            As for the South of border, regardless of a system we may
            “declare” that they live in, it is a feeding ground for extreme poverty for the most. Those are the ones flooding US border,

    Jim, you could be right about Trump being a war President, but that would only be if he sets one off. Civil war or the one brewing with Iran are going to be the result of his bombast. We hope they are avoidable, however change must come, and quickly, to temper this turmoil.

        • 100th Avatar January 4, 2021 at 2:01 pm #

          Not even that.
          He was evenhanded in his jokes against politicians.
          And even that is too conservative these days.

          The best part about his final years was his stand against privilege.
          A certain Harvard educated comedy writer.
          Hasty puddings but no stand-up credentials.

          Johnny’s show was his. That’s the golden ring for the comedy showmen: Johnny’s Tonight.

          He was promised it by the network.

          And Jay thought twice and said “no”.
          “You can’t have it”. “I’m not giving it to you.”

          Conan O’Privileged did not like that.
          He ran to a cable network and without any irony stole the only late night hispanic comedian’s time-slot. He grew a beard and went on a tour. Making millions upon millions but he was a victim.

          Because he did not get what he wanted.

          Yet creepy old sleazebag Letterman, unfunny and angry Kimmel, and a few others went after ole jawsome Jay.

          Relentless.

            Exactly. But one reason I loved Leno is that the joke, not the advocacy, was the only concern. For a long time — and in an approach that was refined and popularized by Jon Stewart — the so-called joke was just a conveyance conceit. A way to highlight the political point you wanted to get across. And suddenly you had hundreds of talentless, snarky, cynical ‘comedians’ plying their politically correct and unfunny mind-pills for a stupid and credulous audience, clapping like seals for the flashing “applause” signs above them.

            Letterman?
            The funny weather guy?

            He dropped things from rooftops.
            He forgot names of his celebrities.

            Hilarious. Genius!

            Leno is a working class gear-head standup workaholic who tells funny, but not mean spirited, jokes.
            Who won the ratings wars.
            Every time.

            But he wasn’t mean. He wasn’t nasty.
            He wasn’t flawed.

            Yaldaboath. The Gnostics say the world was created by an evil god, or at least an idiot. Or at least he should have refrained if he couldn’t Make it right.

            The last is the most correct. No creation out of nothing here. He formed or shaped with the materials available. And he made a hash out of it.

            Kimmel was funny when he was blue collar and mocking Oprah. They told him to knock if off and get correct. He did, literally kneeling to Oprah once. After that, he was a changed man, in demeanor and mien.

    It’s sad enough that many forego reading the actual post, that many post comments not germane to the topic at hand, but to make a childish boast at being first to “respond” with a non-response no less?

      Not enough about this vaccination is known. Much of what is known is hidden. They don’t even know what side effects may crop up in six months time. I’ve heard scientists warn of autoimmune disease and long-term, if not irreversible, sterility in women. It wasn’t tested on pregnant women, and I haven’t heard of such animal trials. Last I heard they’d injected hundreds of pregnant women without any knowledge of effects on a fetus and encouraged obstetricians to recommend it. If you suffer a crippling autoimmune disease or long-term sterility, or if you infant is damaged, you will have no recourse at law. The government considers these acceptable risks. Do you?

      What I do know about the efforts of seventeen years to make a vaccination against SARS was that they were all spectacularly unsuccessful. When the animal subjects were challenged with the wild virus they all died, every one.

      It really does come down to how much you trust the pharmaceutical industry that gave us thalidomide, and how much you trust your government. Your government has decided that if you are one of those who drops dead shortly after receiving the vaccine, well, that is an acceptable risk they are willing to take. Is that acceptable to you?

      • Night Owl January 4, 2021 at 5:49 pm #

        Let’s make sure we are clear… This is not a vaccine. They are using the term “vaccine” to sneak this thing under public health exemptions. This is not a vaccine.
        This is mRNA packaged in a fat envelope that is delivered to a cell. It is a medical device designed to stimulate the human cell into becoming a pathogen creator. It is not a vaccine. Vaccines actually are a legally defined term under public health law; they are a legally defined term under CDC and FDA standards.[1] And the vaccine specifically has to stimulate both the immunity within the person receiving it and it also has to disrupt transmission.
        And that is not what this is. They (Moderna and Pfizer) have been abundantly clear in saying that the mRNA strand that is going into the cell is not to stop the transmission, it is a treatment. But if it was discussed as a treatment, it would not get the sympathetic ear of public health authorities because then people would say, “What other treatments are there?”
        The use of the term vaccine is unconscionable for both the legal definition and also it is actually the sucker punch to open and free discourse… Moderna was started as a chemotherapy company for cancer, not a vaccine manufacturer for SARSCOV2. If we said we are going to give people prophylactic chemotherapy for the cancer they don’t yet have, we’d be laughed out of the room because it’s a stupid idea. That’s exactly what this is. This is a mechanical device in the form of a very small package of technology that is being inserted into the human system to activate the cell to become a pathogen manufacturing site.

This is a mechanical device in the form of a very small package of technology that is being inserted into the human system to activate the cell to become a pathogen manufacturing site.
        I refuse to stipulate in any conversations that this is in fact a vaccine issue. The only reason why the term is being used is to abuse the 1905 Jacobson case that has been misrepresented since it was written. And if we were honest with this, we would actually call it what it is: it is a chemical pathogen device that is actually meant to unleash a chemical pathogen production action within a cell. It is a medical device, not a drug because it meets the CDRH definition of a device. It is not a living system, it is not a biologic system, it is a physical technology – it happens to just come in the size of a molecular package.
        So, we need to be really clear on making sure we don’t fall for their game. Because their game is if we talk about it as a vaccine then we are going to get into a vaccine conversation but this is not, by their own admission, a vaccine. As a result it must be clear to everyone listening that we will not fall for this failed definition just like we will not fall for their industrial chemical definition of health. Both of them are functionally flawed and are an implicit violation of the legal construct that is being exploited. I get frustrated when I hear activists and lawyers say, “we are going to fight the vaccine”. If you stipulate it’s a vaccine you’ve already lost the battle. It’s not a vaccine. It is made to make you sick.
        80% of the people exposed to SARSCOV2 are asymptomatic carriers. 80% of people who get this injected into them experience a clinical adverse event. You are getting injected with a chemical substance to induce illness, not to induce an immuno-transmissive response. In other words, nothing about this is going to stop you from transmitting anything. This is about getting you sick and having your own cells be the thing that get you sick.
        When the paymaster for the distribution of information happens to be the industry that’s doing the distributing, we lose. Because the only narrative is the one that will be compensated by the people writing the check. That goes for our politicians… and our media – it has been paid for – if you follow the money you realize there is no non-conflicted voice on any network.
        [1] The word “vaccine” originates from the Latin Variolae vaccinae (cowpox), which Edward Jenner demonstrated in 1798 could prevent smallpox in humans. Today the term ‘vaccine’ applies to all biological preparations, produced from living organisms, that enhance immunity against disease and either prevent (prophylactic vaccines) or, in some cases, treat disease (therapeutic vaccines).

    “On Sunday, Mr. Trump had a telephone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, ostensibly to discuss efforts made by his office to authenticate the validity of the Nov. 3rd balloting in that state. This is being portrayed by The WashPo, The New York Times, and the rest of the gang as a virtual replay of the Ukraine phone call that eventuated in the 2019 impeachment.”

    November 3, and the following elections hopefully.

    This brings to mind the run-off war that was (is being) waged.

    The MSM, the celebrities, the tech-titans, the billionaire oligarchs, the influencers all peddling for the Democratic candidates.

    Why does this not trouble more people?

    Why does advocating for, in essence, one-party rule not trouble these people, not trouble more people?

    It was not long ago when the media, the artists, and large swathes of the citizenry turned a distrustful eye, a skeptical eye at the machinations of the state and of power.

    In fact, in my youth, the Democratic party was often considered the party for those wary of the blue bloods seemingly holding all the levers of state, cultural, and institutional power.

    Yeah, that was naive.

    But where has this sentiment gone?

    It no longer exists. It was co-opted. Patronizing absurd fringe issues has that effect. Non-gendered bathrooms. Privilege education.
    Check, check.

    True, the celebrities shilling in Georgia are not true artists. Despite their fondness for their “craft”. No, the artistic temperament escapes them.

    I read an interview with John Lydon, AKA Johnny Rotten a few month back. He said he was voting for Trump because that is the “punk” thing to do. To resist the consolidation of power. The group think. The stasis. He lamented hegemony of the Democrats across all societal platforms.

    Because it is something to be feared?

    We know that the 2 party system is a formality. That the system is rigged. We know that many politicians throw up objections as a formality, to show due diligence to their constituents that expect some form of formal remonstration.

    What happens when this is gone?
    And it is going.

    When the mere act of objecting, showing displeasure, giving voice to dissent is surrendered as an act of formality.

    When unity is replaced by uniformity?

    When a half crazed British punk rocker can see what the “norms” can’t.

    That artistic vision.

    • Rulo Deschamps January 4, 2021 at 1:49 pm #

      Avatar, spot on. I know some graybeard baby boomers, even some that publish columns in local papers, and they are all the biggest fans of the “intelligence community”. They also constantly celebrate themselves and their generation as the ones who spoke truth to power.

      Quite the disconnect. I always felt people like Lydon and many others in the punk rock scene were the ones willing to think for themselves and question authority. And they described the previous generation to a dot: “your future dreams are a shopping scheme”, “a cheap holiday in other people’s misery”, “blind acceptance is a sign of stupid fools who stand in line”.

      Another thing I notice about the boomers is how they drool over every new gizmo and tech enabled surveillance, think nothing of living in a glass house because “I have nothing to hide”, and don’t deviate a dot from the MSM narrative of a Great Leap Forward as soon as reparations are paid, a tranny is elected president, and everybody has solar panels and electric cars (that consume more energy in their manufacture than the amount of energy they’ll be able to generate in their serviceable life).

      Besides, 70’s British prog rock is maybe the crappiest music ever recorded. Rotten, Strummer, the Ramones and that lot were really a breath of fresh air.

      Your musings are always very good. Keep ’em coming. And remember, since you are a Lydon fan,

      I could be right, I could be wrong
      I could be black, I could be white

          Before I left I hit the Bacardi
          Went to her house to get her out of the pad
          Dumb hoe says something stupid that made me mad
          She said somethin’ that I couldn’t believe
          So I grabbed the stupid bitch by her nappy ass weave
          She started talkin’ shit, wouldn’t you know?
          Reached back like a pimp and slapped the hoe
          Her father jumped up and he started to shout
          So I threw a right-cross and knocked his old ass out”

      I said this a few years ago. There are a number of old punksters that have said similar.

          Yo, Yohannon! On the mark.

          The late great Irish rock/blues guitar virtuoso Rory Gallagher said the punks didn’t have much talent, but he admired their passion and honesty. And at that time (mid-late 70s), rock music, to a large extent, had devolved into corporate, streamlined, marketing-focused pablum.

          • Yohannon January 4, 2021 at 3:27 pm #

            Folk culture is always high or “classical” because there are no corporations or elevator music. If you can’t play, you’ll be told to pipe down. If the opposite, the opposite. Good new stuff is added to corpus and carried down thru the centuries.

            No money in it, typically. Just for the love of it. Yet some of those Irish fiddlers were invited to play in Symphonies. Professional amateurs.

            Ancient Ireland was more organized and had court players and poets always looking for patronage. Thus the Lie is born and also politicized art.

          • Night Owl January 4, 2021 at 3:35 pm #

            Depends on what you consider punk. Johnny Marr could play most of Rory Gallagher’s catalog in Rory’s style, and he wrote more than a few classics himself.

          • Soul Forensics January 4, 2021 at 3:45 pm #

            And the classical composers often incorporated the “low” — the folk melodies sung and played widely throughout hamlet and valley — into their own song cycles, sonatas, and symphonies, cf Shostakovich’s populist and emotional allusions, Dvorak’s rustic dance tunes, and even Bartok’s folk melodies.

            Those same composers also created scores from high poetry and other classical music references. It brings to mind novelist Saul Bellow’s reminder that for centuries there was no wide distinction between the high and the low, that both were needed, and that separation, if any was to be made, was complementary and celebrated, not a matter of taking sides for contemporary political opportunism.

            The reason that harmonic agreement could be made is that the tradition actually existed, and was strong. Composers could draw from a wide variety of styles, moods and subject matter, while still maintaining their confidence that the spiritual meaning was both comprehensible for their homogeneous audience, and that it mattered and was revered.

          • Soul Forensics January 4, 2021 at 3:46 pm #

            Owl,

            Yes, the punks, like most sub genres, had their infighting — pure versus watered down, polished versus raw, etc.

    circa 4/25/2017:

    In the transcript for last week’s hearing in Wilding, et. al. v. DNC Services, d/b/a DNC and Deborah “Debbie” Wasserman Schultz, released Friday, DNC attorneys assert that the party has every right to favor one candidate or another, despite their party rules that state otherwise because, after all, they are a private corporation and they can change their rules if they want.

    Perhaps Ms. Pelosi, Messrs Schiff and Nadler have actually seen “irrefutable evidence” in this instance.

    “Will the United States go missing this week, or fight its way out of the chaos and darkness?”

    The United States was lost long ago in a black hole of a century’s-long orgy of fiat money conjuring, horrendous wars and loss of life, the sacrifice of a 1960s president, the continuous erosion and erasure of Constitutional rights, the offshoring of America’s jobs, and finally, insanity setting in amongst We the People. The Shining City on the Hill has turned into a Dark Cave of Fear, Loathing, Anger, Frustration, Confusion, and Mask Shaming. Not to mention a serious case of Wokesterdom, Left Side Marxist lust, and total wreckage and loss of our shared historical foundations and sense of common interest.

    A great comic who appeared often on TV in the 1960s said back then, “The United States of America is going to have… a going out of business sale!” That man was more prophet than comic as the nation has been holding a 60-year liquidation sale that is nearing completion. Not much left to sell now but the shelving and the signage. Most of the floor space is empty and gathering dust. The wails of dismay now echo endlessly in the cavernous darkness.

    “Whatever occurs in this strange week of confrontation, Joe Biden will not be leading any part of it. Where has he been since Christmas?”

    Biden today is nothing but a computer-generated image. He is a Far Eastern AI program. He can appear anywhere and everywhere and as any age They choose to conjure him to look like. They make him look old and confused right now so that Her Highness can soon be installed as our Queen and complete the process of National Wokesterdom and sensibility purging.

    Remember what our Queen-to-be has already said… “THAT’s what real leadership looks like!”

    “What I wonder, given the eerie silence at Joe Biden’s end of things, is whether there is some negotiation underway for Mr. Biden to concede the election before events move forward into official inquiries. I wouldn’t be hugely surprised if that is the case.”

    Interesting post again, JHK. And isn’t there that old saying from Napoleon: never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake?

    I don’t think Joe Biden is going to concede … he’s just staying low-profile and counting to January 20 – and he knows that he has the Joint Session on Wednesday sown up, irrespective of how much objecting is done by Republicans in both chambers.

    At this stage there would seem to be no reason why the Democrats would agree to a 10-Day Inquiry … especially since no state governor has given any indication that they wish to re-visit their certification of electoral slates.

    This might change if Team Trump has compelling evidence of fraud to release Wednesday … but if they have they’re leaving it very late.

    It will be interesting to see how many of the faithful show up at the MAGA Rally, how frisky they get, how long they stay (how cold it is!), and whether Biden supporters and leftie types bother to show up as well. to make a hootenanny of it.

    I think the optics of the taped call to Brad Raffensperger are pretty bad (although far from catastrophic), and it’s still interesting to speculate on why it was recorded, by whom, and why released.

    It would seem that Brad Raffensperger and Brian Kemp are playing a high-stakes game with their careers … I guess it could go bigly in either direction. The next scene of the drama – the run-off elections tomorrow down Georgia way!

      Kemp has gone from hero (masking) to goat (elections) in a pretty short span. He’s another perfect example of the lack of quality of candidates in any given election. Most everyone knew he was a dufus from the get go and gol’darned if he didn’t prove us right. I’m seeing Doug Collins as the new Governor in two years although, quite frankly my dear, I don’t give a Yankee damn one way or another since I won’t be voting again.

      I have to say that I absolutely love JHK’s blog. Although I have only recently started commenting I have followed Mr. Kunstler since the early years of Obama. I have read and loved all of his books, and his style and content inspired me to recently write a novel about another dystopian time.

      I will admit to having been absent during the latter years of the Obama admin. Just sort of gave up the ghost, I guess; wow was I shocked to tune back into CFN a couple of years ago and find that Mr. K had become woke in his own way. Wonders never cease I guess.

    Today’s Drudge Report headline reads ” Trump Caught on Tape Trying To Rig Results”. I know it’s gone the route of Fox News, but the majority of the population still believes the narrative even the so called right wing news puts out. I’m guessing there’s zero chance of this going anywhere,in fact Trump may end up falsely charged before this plays out. Hang on to your seats,this ride may get bumpy!

          Then there are others who come in bad faith, get destroyed and even banned repeatedly, but who then continue to pollute the board with unfounded bullshit and bizarre personal attacks. Ad homs work here, too.

    “Only the bare outlines of this week’s fateful game are visible.” JHK

    Please consider the following as nuance to our current situation.

    A large proportion of the goods purchased in the United States are manufactured in China. The effect of the $1200.00 stimulus provided to the citizens of the United States was to increase the purchase of goods in the retail markets. The balance of trade reflects an increase in the trade deficit coinciding with the movement of the stimulus through the economy.

    The boy and girl genii who engendered globalization have realized they must starve the economy of the U.S. to starve the economy of China. The retail market approaches 70% of the U.S. economy. The front door and the back window of the Federal Reserve will soon be bustling with actvity.

    Consider yourself small enough to fail.

        Thats the song ‘needle and the damage dones’ source.

        I assume he is very left and very nice to friends.
        There was a funny post somewhere about ‘I went to his concert, he had a totem pole he stroked and the show was bad.’ or something like that.

        Found it,

        went to a neil young solo acoustic concert (gifted tickets) a few years ago.
        the stage had wood carvings of birds not unlike totems of the pacific nw . no interaction with the audience;
        he preferred to lovingly stroke the carvings until he played the next tune. had to sit through a 45 minute dirge about dead buffalo. it was painful. he needs help.

        did you post– chewed-up guitar strap, the down-dressing, the backward hat. Neil is trying REAL HARD to look like a Relevant Prole, but it’s all a fake.
        Been a mega-millionaire since his twenties.
        When he did reunion tours w CSNY he traveled by solo jet or bus.

    Speaking of goods manufactured in China, I’d been taking prednisone eye drops for an Iritis I developed in my left eye. Usually within days it clears up. Two weeks later and it’s not clearing up,so my doctor tells me that sometimes the generic drops form China don’t work. Say what !? So she sends me to the drugstore and $70 out of pocket later I get the good stuff, threes days later and I’m good to go. Same doctor tells me she’s been in the operating room when the generic analgesic didn’t work and they had to use the non-generic. That ought to show you that the government today owes nothing to it’s citizens when something as basic as trust in your medicine can’t be trusted.

    “What I wonder, given the eerie silence at Joe Biden’s end of things, is whether there is some negotiation underway for Mr. Biden to concede the election before events move forward into official inquiries.”

    I don’t understand how the eerie silence portends a pot3ntial democratic election concession. I take the silence to mean that Biden’s handlers can’t think of anything for him to say. He should just pretend he won fair and square and ignore Trump.

    Here there have been loud pro-Trump demonstrations by Koreans everyday since before the election. Some of the signs are English but the yelling is In Korean. Since they do it at the garrison’s gate they’re trying to send a message to us but most of us don’t understand enough of their language to comprehend their reasons for support. The consistency in their English signs is an anti-Chinese sentiment.

    South Korea alarmed that deaths in 2019 exceeded births. Why the wonder? Modern Western Culture is a death trip. But note the reaction of the President: creating monetary incentives to get married and have children. This is National Socialism in action. Indeed a good kinetic definition of National Socialism and Fascism: a Nation’s complete response to an internal or external threat. Compare that with us: America’s fine with a below replacement level of birth since we have lots of immigrants coming in. In other words, no healthy reaction at all. Just more of the death trip. Immune system completely compromised.

      Korea is a wonderful place to raise a child but they seem to me to be caught up in trying to be American. The BBC article only references women with careers. Why do they have that 2 income trap? The women don’t want to work as mothers. The role of upper class women in old Korea was to be sequestered in their homes. The.career women say they won’t have more Koreans unless the government gives them more and more. One Korean American family I know who have returned here don’t buy into that. The mom stays home, the dad goes to his job.

      The government does a lot for families to encourage the production of more Koreans but also just legalized abortion. The rice village where I live has a nice playground…but no children. The fields are contracted out to agribusiness by the old people living here.

      I attended Korean Language classes for foreign spouses of Koreans. The textbook was focused on WIVES. The class was all young women mostly southeast Asian. The language taught was all girl stuff. Korean men who want a real family are getting wives that want a real family from abroad. The government responds by trying to turn these young women into Koreans. If they pass the language and culture classes they get an advantage in the citizenship process. These women were popping out babies, some looked like teenagers and were on their 2vnd kid. The government in this program is resisting the multi-culti junk and telling these women to adopt Korean culture. Except for the Chines and one half Vietnamese the women seemed very happy. The extremely rapid modernization here has created cultural confusion.

    He’s done a good job of keeping us out of foreign wars, but sure as hell is doing all he can to start one at home.

    The world is laughing as the US implodes…so much for “democracy”. Communism anyone?.

    The part that pisses me off most is that he’s tearing the Republican party apart. Sad. Only benefits the dems and his oversized ego which obviously doesn’t give a shit.

    The guy is definitely a few sandwiches short of a picnic.

      The Republican party deserves to be torn apart. It’s well past its pull-by date. Somehow it keeps goin however, like a Big Mac stashed away in grandma’s pantry closet a year ago but remarkably preserved despite the dried out pickles, only you wouldn’t want to bite into one. Mitch McConnell & friends, like mummies recovered from the Gobi desert of China’s Xinjiang province.

    The Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky

    “Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.”
    “Never go outside the expertise of your people.”
    “Whenever possible go outside the expertise of the enemy.”
    “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”
    “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.”
    “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.”
    “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”
    “Keep the pressure on.”
    “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself. ”
    “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.”
    “If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside; this is based on the principle that every positive has its negative.”
    “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.”
    “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. ”

    Yoho: From the wiki. They make him sound like he was for for the middle class, lol. Well maybe – as in a new middle class once the White one had been ruined or sent to the Camps.

    A very superficial comment by JHK on that phone call between Trump and Raffensperger, glossed over in preference to some supposed shenanigans by the Bidens in Ukraine. In the phone call, Trump asked Raffensperger to find 11,780 more votes for him and suggested Raffensperger was committing criminal acts by certifying the election. It is not like the Ukrainian phone call (where Trump withheld funds granted by Congress in return for some action that he thought would help him get elected) at all. That JHK would equate the two (but not that both showed criminal behaviour by Trump) just shows his quest to completely obliterate any remaining democracy in the US is without any real foundation. A very sad and disappointing period of JHK posts, these last few months.

        A Georgia election official has refuted Trump’s claims or rendered them irrelevant (since even if one or two claims have a grain of truth, it would have no impact on the result in Georgia). He showed a point by point rebuttal. As Raffensperger said, the data Trump has are wrong. There is no evidence of massive fraud.

            No, there is scant evidence of fraud and no evidence of massive fraud. If there were, this election would already have been overturned. The problem is that the Trump fanatical supporters leap on the slightest hint of evidence without even examining it and then go on to claim that all of these hints amount to a mass. All the main claims mentioned here have rebuttals or are shown to be insignificant in affecting the outcome.

    On Fox news and elsewhere today, Gabriel Sterling, by all accounts a faithful, life long Republican and voting systems implementation manager in Georgia, totally and in detail debunked all theories of voter fraud occurring in his state.

    By the way, he voted for Trump and will vote for the two Republican candidates. I’ve hardly ever seen a more believable man.

    Trump’s desperate, fatuous phone call to Raffensperger may have lost Georgia and the Senate for the Republicans. Another egregious emergence of the effusive Trump Ego.

    ‘Persistent rumor has the president laying out a royal flush of deadly information about his antagonists, enough to make heads explode among the formerly cocksure and vaporize the narrative they’ve been running for four years.’

    There we go again, ‘persistent rumor’. Trump doesn’t even have ace high, and his NY hustle, now tinged with mob like tactics, has degenerated into embarrassing, childlike caterwauling. So much for stopping what Rubio called the ‘Socialist onslaught.’ See 2024 Rubio here:

    https://www.rubio.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ContentRecord_id=491E060A-7EEB-4598-9A2B-E22F3255953A

    Ted Cruz has crawled out of the lube pit again, all greasy and gunky as usual, positioning himself for another run at the presidency. He and other Republicans know that Trump is now a toxic tumult of Republican radioactivity who may soon be put behind thick walls of concrete.

    Sad, but Biden’s ghost will haunt and harrow the very heart of our Homeland.

    Harris-Biden is what we got. Get used to it. Trump is deader than Marley’s doornail.

      “Gabriel Sterling … totally and in detail debunked all theories of voter fraud occurring in his state…. I’ve hardly ever seen a more believable man.” — tusconspur

      Yeah, totally.

      Didn’t see the FOX news piece from today, but if it’s similar to the 7 minute clip on CNN it’s exactly what you’d expect from that Jeff Zucker-led group-think advocacy site.

      His only “argument” was that the recount came up with the same votes for a consolidated Biden win. He called it “the most secure election in twenty years.” You believe that?

      Of course, all they did was recount the same tainted votes (a few per cent from a small majority-Biden county), and, at that, without due supervision or even at attempt at signature verification (again).

      The rest of the interview? Non sequiturs, anti-Trump ad hominems, anti-Trump grand narratives in the bogus tradition of armchair psychology in order to deflect by way of insertion of irrelevancies, and an embarrassing cascade of unsupported adjectival pejoratives.

      • tucsonspur January 4, 2021 at 8:50 pm #

        Yeah, that’s right, totally. I suggest you watch the video again, and stop with the foul forensics. He covered all the conspiracy theories point by point, and shattered them like the phony, hysterical provocations they were.

        From the broken water main, to removing observers and pulling out suspicious ballots, to possible multiple scanning, to 2056 felons voting, to 66,000 plus under the age of 18 voting, to P.O. box voting, to voting past the deadline, to those who supposedly voted after they died, to signature matching, to ballot shredding, to vote flipping or part switching on Dominion voting machines.

        All the votes were examined for authenticity and then re-counted twice.

        Voting officials and the GBI were involved in investigating the votes. Yes, I do believe the recounted votes correctly tallied the total for Biden. As bad as Biden is, you seem to forget how badly Trump screwed up, and how effective the Left was in making Trump the cause of all the chaos the past four years.

        To think that the top Republican governmental officials and that the voting officials in Georgia conspired to rig the vote for Biden is beyond foolish.

        Your last paragraph is simply bullshit, and reeks of fanfaronade and fallacious forensics.

        • Soul Forensics January 4, 2021 at 11:54 pm #

          “I suggest you watch the video again, and stop with the foul forensics.” –ts

          I already told you I didn’t watch today’s Gabriel Sterling news clip on FOX. In your haste to rebut me, you seemed to have missed a rather important detail. Perhaps YOU could respond to what I actually said, which was in response to Sterling’s earlier CNN powder puff in-house interview.

          BTW, your repetitive attempts at wit via rhetorical alliteration fall flat. One needs talent to be able to pull off stylized ripostes.

          They just put up the FOX-Sterling 9 minute clip from today, so I’m proceeding as if that’s the one you mention.

          “They walk in at 5:30 a.m. …” — Sterling

          Who’s they? And what went on between about 1 a.m. and 5:30 a.m? Are we to believe the place was locked and guarded for four and a half hours, with no one else inside? No, we’re not. Sterling goes on with his non-stop lies (once you start lying, you have to keep going to create an upside-down narrative). “No one was told to go home.” And there, apparently, was an overseer. Who was this person? How were they vetted? Were they part of the bought-and-paid for Zuckerberg $450 mil ‘donation’ for election fairness? (Rhetorical question.)

          Far from “foul forensics” these are heart-of-the-matter questions that the in-the-bag media wouldn’t dare ask a cover-up shill like Sterling, the manager of GA’s voting machines (no conflict of interest there!)

          And an overflowing urinal is supposed to halt the process of a so-called “tight” vote count in one of the most important national elections in U.S. history? You can hold in laughter at this point?

          The biggest (of many) smoking gun(s) Sterling attempts to bypass by saying that the massive tranches of ballots pulled from under the table is “nothing was under the pulled suitcase”. That’s it. That’s his proof. LOL! It’s so blatantly laughable that only brainwashed cultists can believe it who’ve actually seen it. No wonder he spends only ten seconds “disproving” it. “Nothing to see here, move along.”

          LOL! 3:30 mark. Sterling, in forensic fantasyland, mentions a few protocols that were kept (in his mind) by a “necessary chain of command”. The next few minutes are Sterling relaying a confusing cross-purose Keystone Kop farce of officials who disagreed about how to proceed with votes, who to call, what to do, and who had authority to do it. This is either a reflection of total incompetence or a smokescreen to hide blatant fraud. Obviously both, but the latter is all that matters.

          Sterling relays the voting station official’s communication to the workers, at 11 a.m.: “I just got the word, we have to keep counting”. Translation: “If we don’t get more votes stuffed in for the Hologram, we lose, and we’ll let down our brothers and sisters in Milwaukee, Detroit, Philly and Phoenix. Let’s pick it up!”

          Just after 5 min mark: Sterling comes back to the surveillance tape. His contention seems to be that since they released the tape (uh, you mean the surveillance tape was not in their purview, and was operating unbeknownst to the fraudsters), it showed that there was no fraud found. That’s like saying that rioters in Portland, OR over the summer were “mostly peaceful” or that citizens were “mostly unhurt”. Even a surveillance tape can’t detect small print (or lack thereof) from a distance on a paper ballot. It wasn’t designed to do this. But what they DID catch was yuuuge. Sterling, of course, is arguing in bad faith here, and his pleas wouldn’t hold up in any reasonable court of law for a second.

          Sterling: “Our audits showed that there were no problems with the machines.”

          Prosector: “Uh, Mr. Rooster, you were seen with feathers in your mouth, blood dripping from your comb, at 6 this morning at the edge of the henhouse. Do you have anything to say in your defense?”

          Rooster: “I tallied the hens this morning right after I let myself in! They were all there.”

          Sterling, in response to Team Trump’s claims: “We have 74 potential felons that voted.”

          Blatant lie. Data proves there are thousands, and that there’s no “potential” about it. To top it off, at least half those felons were/are actually still in prison.

          Sterling then lies about there being zero voters under 18 years old. Data backs up Team trump’s claims. But without signature verification, Sterling’s response is just him blowing more smoke up his credulous audience’s asses.

          Sterling’s next howler is his best yet: “without address matches there is no way to prove that out-of-state voters cast ballots.” Uh yeah, that’s kinda the point that the indefatigable lawyers have been proving. Raffensperger, illegally, changed GA’s laws to allow a loophole whereby out-of-Stae Dems could (and did) visit the State temporarily to place phony P.O. Boxes, hotel rooms, and, with AOC’s fervent support, corral group votes at one address location — homeless shelters, e.g.

          Sterling actually tries to defend the P.O. Box duplications by saying that in every case, those voters were residents of the same apartment building. Make sense? That’s some kinda strict address verification, huh?

          The 9 minute speech/defense cuts off here, but if this is your idea of an unbiased, uncompromised, “believable” man, then I’ll just say I’m collecting donations for the “Raffensperger for Democratic President in 2024” campaign. I’ll set up a donation site in my name, and I’ll expect a hefty contribution from you.

Portugese ships reached Asian ports by the late 15th century and at first they tried capturing Chinese and Philippinos and using them as forced labor in Brazil and other colonies. But finally they settled on Black Africans.

        The 355,000 Africans brought into the American South 1619-1830 seem like small potatoes in comparison.

        Interestingly enough, after the Civil War about 20,000 former Confederates– Confederatos — relocated to Brazil. And there they are to this day, their ancestors (mixed with Portugese and immigrants from a Ukranian community) still celebrating Confederate Memorial Day, flying the Stars and Bars, and singing Dixie.

      • Yohannon January 4, 2021 at 7:09 pm #

        But by the same coin, when the net negatives net out the net positives, the end is nigh. Thus the positives must always outnumber the negatives – if the negatives are to thrive. Wise parasites would limit their reproduction so as to preserve the situation. But in their hubris, they kill the golden goose and eat him. And being human, oh too human (in the invidious sense), they hate the hand that feeds them and always have.

        The Earth is Prison Planet. When we leave this womb, our charges must remain behind. As Earth gets smaller and smaller in our galactic rear view mirrors, we will exalt and sing, Free at last. Free at last. Thank God almighty we are free at last.

      Being the proud and ever eager chauvinist for America that I am.
      I’m pleased to point out that the U.S. beat Sputnik (launched October 4, 1957) not just once, but twice!
      In getting a man made projectile into space. The fact that we did so unintentionally is beside the point. Facts trump desire every time.

      The fastest manmade object isn’t a hypersonic jet or spacecraft, but a large manhole cover. When the US started doing underground nuclear testing, nobody really knew what would happen. One test bomb was placed at the bottom of a 485-foot deep shaft on July 26, 1957, and someone thought it was a good idea to put a half-ton iron manhole cover on top to contain the explosion. The bomb turned the shaft into the world’s largest Roman candle, and the manhole cover was nowhere to be found. Robert Brownlee, an astrophysicist who designed the test, wanted to repeat the experiment with high-speed cameras so he could figure out what happened to the cover. So another experiment was created, this time 500-feet deep, and a similar half-ton manhole cover was placed on top. On August 27, 1957, they detonated the bomb. The high-speed cameras barely caught a view of the cover as it left the top of the shaft and headed into oblivion. Brownlee used the frames to calculate the speed to be more than 125,000 miles per hour…. more than five times the escape velocity of the Earth, and the fastest man-made object in history.

      Physicists have debated the whereabouts of the two manhole covers ever since. Recently, with the help of supercomputers and a lot more scientific knowledge, physicists are certain that they wouldn’t have had time to burn up completely before exiting the atmosphere. This means both of the remaining pieces would have passed Pluto’s orbit sometime around 1961 and are way beyond the edge of the solar system by now.

      More facts. The second manhole cover was welded in place. The high-speed cameras were snapping photos every millisecond (1,000 frames per second); the manhole cover appeared in only one frame. And I wouldn’t describe the shaft as the largest Roman candle, but as the largest canon ever. The iron manholes actually beat Voyagers I and II as the first objects to leave our solar system. The U.S. has set all kinds of records.

        Good story Ben.

        Wouldn’t those manhole covers burn up moving at 125,000 mph leaving the atmosphere? In ’03 the space shuttle was going only about 12000 mph, got white hot, and turned to toast.

        I think the first manmade objects to leave earth’s atmosphere were artillery shells fired at Paris by giant German Big Bertha RR guns from 75 miles away in 1917.

          BRH, that manhole cover was a half ton of solid iron traveling ten times faster than the Columbia was when it broke up.. The Columbia was an aluminum can. . Remains of the astronauts made it to the ground along with a lot of debris spread over 3 states. That manhole cover was moving 60 times faster than a 5.56 round. That’s movin,! It would have easily made it into space largely intact. I’ve got an iron meteorite here at the house. They are common.

      It’s an interesting question. I can certainly imagine though that the alien disclosures could be used as a tool to centralize control and advocate for global government. After all, wasn’t it Ronald Reagan who said that in the face of an alien threat the people of the world would unite? And then again some people who have been in contact with aliens or abducted or what have you say that the aliens are concerned about our destructive and primitive tendencies and therefore want to help us achieve an enlightened and harmonious existence which for some reason oftentimes seems to infer that humanity must adopt a global government in which no one owns property and the State anticipates and meets all needs. Living in floating cities and managed from cradle to grave by AI and so forth. It’s the same destination that they are hoping covid brings us to but since that is not working altogether here comes the alien experts to guide us to the right state of mind?

        SSL, the very fact that this subject can be presented and discussed in a rational intellectual fashion is evidence that progress is afoot. Try this even 20 years ago and a chorus of sneers and giggles would attempt to smother all discussion.

        Look at what happened to John E. Mack, a Harvard professor of Psychology and author of a prize-winning bio of T. E. Lawrence. There was a serious conspiracy to drum him out of the University, in spite of his tenured status. Why? Because he refused to treat the subject of alien abductions as mental illness. He chose to keep an open mind, and not come to any conclusions without proper evidence.

        Regarding the motivation and motives of the Visitors, it is possible we shall never be made aware of them – either by design or through our own incomprehension. In addition to the possible objectives mentioned by SSL, I should add that some warn that among the varied tribes tinkering with Earth there are accomplished liars and dissimulators, which I personally find really alarming. If they are among us we are really and truly helpless, unless we get lucky and shoot one down as was reported at Roswell in 1947. Welcome to Earth: BAM.

        I cannot ever imagine official disclosure. “Hey thanks loads for the eight hundred billion smackers for ‘national defense’. Sorry we can’t do a darned thing about the craft coming and going, violating everyone’s airspace gaily, abducting and experimenting on citizens, mutilating moo-cows and doing God knows what else. We are keeping tabs on them, best we can, and hanging in there. Just keep the money storm-drain roaring and we’ll keep pretending…”

They are simply by any means necessary criminals who dress nice and have good jobs and make good money off of the people they gleefully destroy for more profits and kickbacks using all the levers of state, corporate, and media power exclusively available to them. They only appreciate force and power. You can show them all the evidence all day long and it doesn’t matter because they don’t care. If the crime got them the result they want they are good. They laugh and mock those who accept it. There is no point to politics or negotiation with people like this. Its like the civilized Anasazi trying to negotiate with the Toltec cannibal marauders.

      My brother’s reaction: Cruz is leading this to get the base of his back and stay in good with them or even advance his standing. He just wants the whole thing to go away. I think he’s probably right the more I think about it. A ten day commission? Senators? The Supreme Court? We already know what kind of people the latter are. And ditto most Senators. How will the pick them? Fifty/Fifty? We lose since more than half of the Republicans are deep State.

      This will weaken Trump’s position in the end. What does he do when they come back with their findings of “nothing there” or some minor irregularities that need to be worked on? This is playing in their game and falling into their web.

      • SoftStarLight January 5, 2021 at 10:01 am #

        Yes. I tend to agree as well. Any time the government steps in to anything it unfortunately seems to be nothing but trouble because its never the real general good or welfare that is promoted but only the interests of select ones who are deemed “more important”. I also find it troubling that Tom Cotton has essentially stated that he will side with Joe Biden DESPITE all of the concerns of fraud and irregularities. His excuse. Well if we object to the electoral college certification it will just embolden Democrats further to behave unconstitutionally. Super but sad lulz. But many people don’t realize that Tom Cotton is just another Bilderberger globalist. He wants all of the war games again. I believe he also wants a war with China.

Say back in February when I was going though my own freak out about the virus I heard stories about individuals in South Korea and I believe Iran who were literally walking down the street and would just collapse dead from the coronavirus. That didn’t help my panic at the time. But I remember passing comments in the news that some health experts believed people who were having that type of reaction had a previous SARS vaccination. And apparently that did not interact well with the covid infection. So. That could be a problem in this instance too it sounds like.

    Way to go Trump, worse than your handling of the Ukraine call:

    “Brad Raffensperger acknowledged Trump may face an investigation from the Fulton county district attorney’s office, after the president demanded that the Georgia secretary of state “find” enough votes to throw the state to him. Joe Biden won Georgia by nearly 12,000 votes.

    Two House Democrats called on the FBI to investigate the call. The two lawmakers, Ted Lieu of California and Kathleen Rice of New York, wrote in a letter to FBI director Christopher Wray, “The evidence of election fraud by Mr Trump is now in broad daylight.”

    Trump was lit up like a stick of dynamite and exploded with this:

    Trump: Democrats are ‘not taking this White House. We’re going to fight like hell.’

    Will he refuse to leave and be arrested, go down as a martyr, showman, and all around in your face ball buster? Could a gun fight break out?

    Here’s a link:

      Honestly if the Georgia Senate races were conducted in a fair and legal manner (which it is already proven it is not) then I would anticipate the Republican candidates would win, however I think the margins would not be great so they would not be landslide victories by any stretch of the imagination.

      In the Presidential election I think Trump would have won fair and square with about a 20-40K vote margin. So again not a huge landslide. But a win nonetheless.

        Really scary is the possibility that the addition of mail in ballots have enabled the gimme class, who have always been sketchy with voting, to be gathered up by the likes of Stacey Abrams and submitted. Scary, because it presents a different picture of the US’s future. If with full turnout, the voters are driving the US to the Left, well, there it is. The Left has manipulated the demographics of the country to their advantage, and may have won the war.

        How will the good Ol’ boys react to this potential realization?

      • tucsonspur January 5, 2021 at 7:33 pm #

        John, I buy my own take and my own analysis. People fail to realize that the nation may have been hypnotized, brainwashed or manipulated enough by the Left and the media to enable this Uniparty. You yourself hint at it.

        Throw in the media capitalizing on Trump’s mistakes, and the four years of making Trump out to be the traitor, and it’s possible that the Left could reach these disputed numbers of votes without much fraud. Trump flunked the EC because of his handling of the virus. How many votes lost? I say 5 million on the low end.

        Georgia may provide a good gauge. If Loeffler and Purdue win by huge margins, suspicion about November soars. A close race or if the Dems win outright, say farewell to fraud occurring on any major scale back then. The nature of the nation will be more definitively revealed, and with Trump uncrowned and Republicans upended, the Uniparty will be close to unconquerable.

        • JohnAZ January 5, 2021 at 11:34 pm #

          Agree with you all the way.

          I believe that Trump was our chance to beat back the globalist socialism inherent to the Dems.

          But I also believe in the Covid destroying our country right now due to stupid politicians.

          Trump played the ignore it and it will go away game and he lost his presidency because of it.

          Why? Because it disturbs society enough that it cannot be ignored, and it did not just go away.

          If folks had just spaced themselves last February and worn masks when that was impossible, where would we be now?

          Much, much better off, happier and looking forward to reconstruction under Trump. The economy would be starting to hum again.

    When faced when things like this. Covidians should realize that since the Elite who came up with it don’t practice it, they don’t believe in it. And if they don’t believe in it (and they came up with it), the whole thing is a fraud. But this is too many logical steps for the Covidiots. They forget the first term (that the Elite came up with it) and just become scolds. Pathetic.

    Wisconsin: Pharmacist Who Destroyed Coronavirus Vaccines Said It Alters People’s DNA
    Andrew Anglin January 5, 2021

    I don’t know how the establishment can be surprised that people are concerned about this vaccine, given that they literally said that you have to take it and that you’re not allowed to talk about it. They banned any and all discussion of it, and just said: “you have to inject yourself with this experimental chemical cocktail, or we’re going to punish you.”

    Surely, they didn’t expect that everyone would just accept that.

    What is actually shocking, in fact, is how many people did accept it.

    TMJ4:

    The pharmacist accused of intentionally spoiling nearly 600 doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine at a Grafton clinic first appeared in Ozaukee County Court on Monday.

    He was then released from Ozaukee County Jail on a $10,000 signature bond.

    Steven Brandenburg is the pharmacist accused of deliberately spoiling vials of vaccine at the Grafton Aurora Medical Center on two occasions.

    The Ozaukee County District Attorney Adam Gerol told a judge that the vaccines that were initially believed to have been destroyed need to be tested to determine if that was actually the case.

    Gerol said Aurora walked back some of their initial information the vaccines were destroyed, adding they were sequestered.

    Brandenburg was being held on probable cause from Grafton Police. In their probable cause statement, Brandenburg removed the box containing the vaccine from a refrigerator and let it out for 12 hours, rendering it useless.

    Brandenburg told investigators that he believed the vaccine was not safe for people and would “harm them and change their DNA,” the probable cause statement said. Brandenburg, according to the Grafton Police Department, is an “admitted conspiracy theorist.”

    Medical professionals have repeatedly stated the mRNA COVID vaccines do not alter a person’s DNA.

    Brandenburg was arrested on Dec. 31 on charges of first degree recklessly endangering safety, adulterating a prescription drug, and criminal damage to property.

    Yes, medical professionals have repeatedly stated that.

    This is true.

    However, the fact that they said it doesn’t make it true.

    What the vaccine does is deliver synthetic mRNA to send instructions to the DNA, and I guess it’s up to you if you believe that counts as “altering DNA.”

    What is clear is that the delivery mechanism that has been developed through this vaccine program definitely does have the ability to alter DNA. So basically, we are just being asked, once again, to “trust the experts.”

    We’re asked to trust them despite the fact that they’ve done nothing but lie to us from the beginning of this coronavirus hoax.

    I think it’s reasonable for someone to not trust them, and in fact, I would go so far as to assert that anyone who does trust these people has something very seriously wrong with them.

    Yo: The synthetic mRNA sends instructions to your DNA to change. And it obeys. Thus the vaccine changes your DNA. What is the mystery? That’s what they are doing. But yes, why? That’s the mystery. To just cure a minor disease? And yes, it is godlike power. Power that they do not deserve. Think that they will be satisfied with just curing the sniffles?

Even if this particular vaccine is not the ultimate trojan horse that they are no doubt planning, it’s an opening to exploit the public’s tolerance for this kind of thing, so that DNA altering vaccines – whether they’re officially labeled that or not – become yet another “new normal.” A whole lot of “new normals” coming down the pike lately, provided people are stupid enough to accept them. So far, it looks like the sheeple are every bit as naïve and stupid as the globalists take them to be.

    • mccobb January 5, 2021 at 1:20 pm #

      The vaccine does not send instructions to the DNA. The DNA never leaves the cell’s nucleus. The DNA sends messenger RNA instructions (m means messenger) to the ribosome to build proteins. The vaccine’s mRNA instructs the Ribosome to build antigens to fight the virus. The virus instructs the Ribosome to build up to a million copies of itself per cell.

      • Yohannon January 5, 2021 at 1:30 pm #

        No, fake messenger RNA is inserted into the DNA – to change it or get it to change itself. Get it straight. The DNA is being acted up by Man – men with hidden agendas.

        Previous corona vaccines resulted in mass deaths of people and animals. No animal testing this time. Straight to people. Hint: That should alarm you if you were a normal person as opposed to a “normie”.

        Poster on another blog: The same people who are freaked out by GMO food are the most eager to get the genetically altering shot. Normies.

        • JohnAZ January 5, 2021 at 4:41 pm #

          No, the Serum mRNA reacts in the cytoplasm to create little spike proteins, DNA is not touched. Normally, Messenger RNA is sent from the nucleus to the cytoplasm where the cell creates the proteins it is supposed to. The spikes escape to allow the immune system to detect the antigen and “kill” it. More importantly, antibodies are created causing the side effects of the vaccine. More important than antibodies are the memory B and T cells that give quick response the next time the body sees spike proteins.

          A few cells in your arm are sacrificed to create the dummy spike proteins, but they are replaced. DNA is not affected.

            Your immune system can kill you. Did you know that? Maybe it will reject your kidney or liver or heart. Or over-react next time you get a cold. Maybe the spikes tell the immune system to overdo it turning a case of the sniffles into a trip the the emergency room at 3 am.

        • mccobb January 6, 2021 at 7:47 pm #

          @JohnAZ below is correct. Also correct, this was my second post trying to point out how the vaccine works.

          Previous vaccines have resulted in deaths. That’s true. Your own immune system can kill you, that’s also true. That’s what happened to a lot of people who contracted COVID-19.

          I’m not saying you should take this vaccine. That’s up to you and you should consult your doctor. If you prefer the virus’ fake messenger RNA that’s fine with me.

          I’m not bothering to post because I hate Trump. I don’t. If I’m a troll in this echo chamber it’s because I hate seeing this country torn apart.

    “Interesting that Pollard refers to ‘coming home’ when in fact he was born and raised in Texas and as far as I know spent all of his life in America. But obviously he never regarded it as his real home, still less the focus of his loyalties. So what the hell were the American intelligence agencies thinking when they gave him access to vital defense information, information which the Israelis then traded on to the USSR in return for easing emigration to Israel? (His treachery was such that even traitorous Ziocons like Cheney and Rumsfeldt were outraged.)”

    Yes, if there was Trump TV, they could and should be playing the clip of Dr Birx saying that they are massively inflating the Covid stats by calling anything and everything covid. You need to make connections for people who can’t make their own for the most part. And even those who can are often too busy working to have seen this kind of evidence. Real journalism would show them things like this in any case, and leave it up to them to make up their own minds.

    But again, most will fail. After all, we used to have that and most people chose incorrectly nonetheless. We are a fallen race, thus Democracy per se in contraindicated. I prescribe an elitist republicanism instead. A Government not of men but of laws; not of voters but elite voters.

    • beantownbill. January 5, 2021 at 1:29 pm #

      Yes, but I’m skeptical of humanity. So you have an elite republicanism. Do you think those elites are not above corruption? But, you say, we have tests and screening to determine who is moral. I say, power corrupts, and how do we know someone wouldn’t fall into corruption later?

      Your idea actually sounds good, but I don’t think it would work out. The fault lies in ourselves, not the stars.

      You need to clarify how we could protect ourselves to keep things honest.

        Eternal vigilance as Franklin said. The kind we failed at, lost as we are in fantasies of individualistic wealth, fame, and power. Capitalist man is not democratic and cannot uphold a Republic. He doesn’t really want to. His freedom is just license.

        So? So we end this kind of man as such. Capitalists will still exist but they will cower before Citizens. And some of them will be Citizens as well – once they qualify. Service, knowledge, time to keep up with current events (a big one mentioned by Aristotle) and testing as per the latter two. Financial solvency as well.

        Choose our better selves. Those who don’t so choose, don’t have to. They just don’t get to vote. Some will fake it of course. But it’s a lot to fake! Easier just to follow the rules and make money – as would be their right. Enjoy life! Fine and expected. Just no power. A modern version of the Vedic Caste system in some respects. Because Bill, people really are different by nature. And all things aren’t for all people.

        Sodomites corrupted the church. They cared enough to fake it, all the while having orgies in the seminaries. If the seminaries had been put in rural monasteries with manual labor, getting dirty, getting up early and going to bed early – with no orgies possible – far, far fewer would have made it through or even tried.

    Just calling covid a hoax is not doing anyone a favor. The bottom line is that something, a new virus or a mutated extant one is killing a lot of people. The 350,000 deaths are most likely exaggerated, a lie. Let’s say that its really been ten times exaggerated. Well, tell the families of the 35,000 victims that their loved one’s death was just the sniffles.

    • Yohannon January 5, 2021 at 1:25 pm #

      Oh get out. Get some perspective. It’s nothing compared to the unspeakable suffering the lockdown is causing. And that’s nothing compared to the suffering that these Devils are going to cause with this.

      As Alinsky said, Pick a target. Freeze it. In other words, make an idol of it. Then personalize it – that’s what you just did. See? It self perpetuates. It becomes alive. The Marks and Rubes (that’s you!) feed it of their own life force.

    • Tate January 5, 2021 at 1:25 pm #

      The media say that Covid being created in the Wuhan lab is a “conspiracy theory.” And yet, the majority of scientists knowledgeable on the subject say that it could not have been created through a natural mutation. The “wet market” hypothesis is a cover story. It is indeed an engineered virus which is a really frightening thought that this is what our superiors have in mind for us.

      • beantownbill. January 5, 2021 at 1:35 pm #

        The lockdown is ridiculous, but my point is that covid – whatever it may be – is not the sniffles. The authorities’ reaction is a different subject altogether.

          • beantownbill. January 5, 2021 at 1:50 pm #

            Ok, if the authorities had anything directly to do with the creation of the virus, then you are right. But the point stands: Covid is not the sniffles. I don’t understand why you won’t admit it.

          • Yohannon January 5, 2021 at 1:55 pm #

            I admit it may be a new version of the common cold. Even the common cold can kill. So any corona virus can be more than the sniffles. Satisfied?

            No, right?

      • beantownbill. January 5, 2021 at 1:38 pm #

        This is for Tate: so are you saying covid isn’t just the sniffles?

        • Tate January 5, 2021 at 2:01 pm #

          I don’t know what you mean. It’s deadly for those who develop a serious case of it (less than 1% of those who get it). And it’s not a complete hoax. But I’ve never claimed it was.

        • Tate January 5, 2021 at 2:03 pm #

          What I’m saying is that it almost certainly is a man-made virus, engineered for what purpose I’ll leave others to guess.

          • JohnAZ January 5, 2021 at 4:30 pm #

            Aha!

            It is definitely not a hoax. It is a factor of 2-3 more lethal disease than the flu or cold. But still less than 1%.

            The problem is that a significant portion of the survivors end up in the hospital trying to breathe and another portion ends up with long term debilitation due to this disease attacking everywhere in the body.

            The main threat is to the healthcare system in the cities. Overloading the hospitals stops regular care, emergent care and even care for marginal Covid patients.

            Ladies and gentlemen,

            If we do not find a way to cure these viruses, one day one will develop that has the transmissibility of Covid with the lethality of Ebola. If that happens, watch out.

            Vaccines are too slow.

            Or someone will develop one and “accidentally” loose it. Think that cannot happen? Would you have believed the impact of Covid19 a year ago?

            Will we become a actual non-fictional edition of The Stand? It is possible!

          • Tate January 5, 2021 at 4:42 pm #

            >>>The problem is that a significant portion of the survivors end up in the hospital trying to breathe and another portion ends up with long term debilitation…<<<

            Really? I suspect this is not true either. If .03% of those contracting it die from it, then maybe .09% (3x those dying from it) of those contracting it have serious long-term side-effects. I suspect this is more like what is actually happening. But still overall a low number. (Maybe it's 1% of 2% instead of .09% but my point still holds.)

            On your second point, we have never developed a successful coronavirus vaccine, & what is now being touted as a success, well… be my guest, you first. Half of health-care workers are taking a wait-&-see attitude to getting vaccinated. They understand what's on the line.

    Slavery wasn’t abolished in Brazil until 1888.

    Out of the 11 million blacks brought west to the Americas out of Africa, 6 million went to Brazil.

    The Portugese were a remarkable people. At a time when the English were losing the 100 Years War, getting booted from Normandy, and embarking on a bloody Civil War (The Wars of the Roses) as early as 1418 the Portugese were sending ships around the Horn of Africa, to India, and on to China and Japan.

We, the citizens of the U.S., can choose once again look away from the truth, but the eyes of the world are not going to look away. Any person’s personal feelings regarding Mr. Trump has no meaning when one considers that he has led the U.S. to the Road to Damascus moment. We have come to that moment of doubt and faith. We can either remove the beam from our eye or suffer slow but sure blindness from fear and ignorance.

    Jim (not JHK) has re-emerged after his bout of paranoia.

    I am feeling optimistic about my safety, because I have taken some additional precautions, and the move seems to have taken me off the radar. About America, not so much.

    The politically correct story of the Roman Republic is that it died of ambitious generals with troops personally loyal to their general.

    This just is not true. There was a terrible vacuum that demanded a general to restore order at swordpoint and enforce at swordpoint the cooperation that makes collective action possible, and that vacuum twice persisted for an extraordinarily unreasonable time before a general finally did. The Republic died twice, but things superficially appeared to keep happening as they used to for a while because of old people with old habits acting in ways that used to make sense, but were no longer sane or safe in the new reality.

    But if everyone stops playing by the rules, then collective action becomes difficult. As the Russians complained of America under Obama, “America is not agreement capable.” Notoriously the State Department is owned by Israel. And by Saudi Arabia. And by China. And by assorted Hunter Biden type grifters.

    If Biden gets in, then the people pulling his strings will find that the way they got in makes it impossible to get anything done. Until they start shooting judges and public servants, which I expect to start happening around 2026 or so if Trump fails to start shooting people sooner than that.

    Phew! Well that’s certainly a relief. “Jim” says we’ve got 5 years of breathing room…

    So, the moment is almost upon us. Starting tonight, or over the next few days, things will never be the same, no matter the runoff outcome. My guess is that if the dems are losing, they will do something to delay the announcement, then try to somehow change the actual results. If the Repubs are losing, the vote tallies will be announced asap.

    My own feeling is that the dems will end up controlling the Senate. If that happens, then Trump has to shit or get off the pot. Taking action ultimately means military involvement. Pence might not accept the elector results, but that would leave congress a mess. If Pence accepts the electors, Trump has to act immediately. He has to get the military behind him, but that’s not a given because the military swears allegiance to the Constitution, not the president. The question is, how will Trump turn this into a constitutional matter requiring military assistance? Not sure If he can do it. In any case, civil unrest is going to ensue.

    For the past 4 years Trump has made some bold plans, but has mostly backed down when opposed. Does he have the balls to go forward when the resistance is fierce? We shall see.

    In any case, prepare to be on pins and needles until the end of January, at least.

      “Taking action ultimately means military involvement. Pence might not accept the elector results, but that would leave congress a mess. If Pence accepts the electors, Trump has to act immediately.”

      VP Mike Pence, under the Constitution, the Electoral Count Act 1887, and the approved Congressional rules, doesn’t do anything that isn’t essentially ceremonial – and I expect he will act that way.

      The top brass in the defence forces have already stated that they do not get involved in political issues. The Supreme Court also seems to have said all they’re going to say about this presidential election.

      It’s hard to see what options Donald Trump has remaining. The Insurrection Act would not seem to offer any resolution for Trump – against whom is he going to send in federal troops?

      I expect Joe Biden will be sworn in on 20 January – with or without any overt inaugural ceremonies. We’ll see.

    Dmitry Orlov:

    “But it all worked out thanks to the wonderful US public education system. It has produced several generations of Americans who can barely count on their fingers and toes. Were they able to do basic arithmetic, they would have spotted the problem: 74 million votes for Trump plus 81 million votes for Biden gives us 155 million votes total. But there were only 153 million registered voters just two years ago, so that’s 101% voter turn-out. And then 160 million are said to have voted, so that’s 104.5% turn-out! Compare that to 55.7% turn-out in the 2016 election. [Furrowed brows, nervously twitching fingers and toes]

    There is no way to make the numbers make any sense. Since 2016 the US population grew by just under 8 million. Optimistically assuming half of them became eligible to vote; that would add 4 million to the rolls. Optimistically assuming all of them actually registered to vote, that would only make 157 million. Accept the reported stunning voter turn-out number for 2020 of 66.7%. That’s just under 105 million votes total—nowhere near then 160 million number that has been reported. If Trump got 74 million votes, as reported, then just 31 million votes would be the theoretical maximum for Biden—less then half as many as for Trump. [Stunned silence] “

    • Redneck Liberal January 5, 2021 at 9:04 pm #

      This analysis also leads to the implication that there were 50 MILLION fake votes. That’s quite a logistical task, worthy of the Army Corps of Engineers at least, and therefore a bit far-fetched.

      I’ve checked the registered voters in 2020 here:

      https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/number-of-registered-voters-by-state

      It gives a total of 213,799,467. Given that, and the total ballots counted in the Nov 3 election of 155 million, then the facts are that the turnout was historically high at 72%.

      Other sources have different numbers – Newsweek for example quotes 239 million eligible & 160 million voting and a turnout of 67%.

      Whichever way you cut it, Orlov’s numbers are ‘conveniently’ faked.

      • Pucker January 5, 2021 at 11:16 pm #

        Orlov’s numbers look right. There’s no-Fuck’n-way that the number of registered voters almost doubled between 2016 and 2020. The numbers don’t make sense.

        “ For the 2016 general election, the total registered population in the United States reached 157.6 million, an increase of almost 3 percent from the November 2012 figure of 153 million. However, the number of registrants as a proportion of the estimated citizen population remained roughly stable between the two elections: 71.2 percent in 2016 and 70.3 percent in 2012. The breakdown of 2016 registrants by age also was comparable to 2012: Approximately 55.4 percent of citizens ages 18 to 24 were registered to vote in 2016, compared with 53.6 percent in 2012. Among Americans age 35 and older, about 75 percent were registered to vote for each of the last two presidential elections.”

Rarely, someone waited until the “ winner” was approaching the surface and grabbed the object away, acting as if they had won. If an instructor observed this, the thief could look forward to one to several days of severe treatment, upon such a time they either quit, or the instructors were now satisfied the lesson was inculcated in all, especially the thief and “life” went on. The dems did this to the election BUT all the instructors observed it, including ALL in the upper echelons. No beat down inflicted, no harassment, not even a verbal warning! The lessen is cheat to win, only losers play by the rules. Unless this situation is rectified, and quickly, the devolution into two warring factions is assured, as there are those who will not tolerate cheaters in our society being “allowed” to “win”.
    The ability to project appropriately Bad JuJu to defined objects during training has now expanded tremendously. Nuff Said.

      The Pretender & his sassy blaque woman running mate have cancelled their fake inauguration & fake inaugural parade. That was probably a wise move on their part. A thousand small dramas will play out in “the nation’s capitol” over the next few weeks but that climax drama will be MIA. I’m wondering if Lauren Boebert will get arrested for protecting our 2A rights? I’m hoping that at some point the Burn Loot Murder decal will be peacefully removed from in front of the White House.

        Capitol on lockdown as Trump supporters breach barricades

  83. beantownbill. January 5, 2021 at 9:49 pm #

    I forgot one important maneuver. Trump can impose the Insurrection Act against all the potential usurpers. I don’t know how it is enforced, iow, how the process is instituted. As I write now, the repubs have a very slight lead in the runoff elections. I hope I made the wrong call and they win.

    Watching the same thing tonight. The cities waiting until the very end to roll over the Republican candidates. Juan Williams just stated that the Blacks and Hispanics are coming out in greater numbers for Dems than in the general election. Hopefully, one of these two can hold on.

    If not, White America has just taken a huge hit.

    Here we have two far Left candidates in Georgia running neck and neck with the Republicans, and this in an election that could ‘change America’ as Schumer so wished. How could this be, you ask? This is how.

    The Left has succeeded in making Trump the bad guy, and along with the media, succeeded in shaping the mindset of America. This is what many Republicans can’t realize or won’t accept, that they’ve done a great job at gaslighting the gullible and even the not so gullible.

    Think about how close they’re coming to ‘radically changing America’ as Obama once proposed. Republicans had better stop shouting fraud and face the fact that the Democrats just have, and are getting the folks. That message is written all over Georgia.

      The controls are in place. Contact tracing starting now. My BF is a contractor at a Navy base in San Diego.

      They have just been told that if they get tested for COVID it must be reported to the government. Regardless of the results.

      Here is the catch. The tests are mandatory for even routine medical procedures. His co worker got a colonoscopy and was tested for
      COVID. As of tomorrow, every medical procedure will have to be reported.

      Thus, the government will know all your medical information.

        Consider this:

        If you have no symptoms of Corvid19— no fever, no persistent cough, no loss of taste— but elect to be tested using the “gold standard” PCR test that amplifies any messenger remnants in you nasal swab to the 40th power the probability of receiving a false positive reading is 96%!!

        The most likely reason for failing your Corvid test is that you had a mild case which you were even not aware of, but as a result have acquired immunity that is more powerful than any that can be produced by a vaccine.

        This means that in the Brave New World you will be prohibited from flying on an airliner, and in all likelihood be bared from working at your job.

        Or you can accept the mandatory untested mRNA “vaccine” that already is causing short term reactions at a far greater rate than flu vaccines and has a real possibility of triggering long term autoimmune diseases and female sterility, and may last for as little as 90 days before needing booster shots.

      “Republicans had better stop shouting fraud …”

      Indeed – it seems to me as a middle-of-the-road type, that Donald Trump made three critical (and seemingly fatal) mistakes:

      (1) Obviously, he saw the pandemic as a losing proposition, but if he had grabbed it with both hands and been out-front combatting it, he would have won easily, I expect.

      (2) He claimed months ago that if he lost the election then it would only be because the election was rigged – I’m not certain that this type of self-assured arrogance went down well with the 10-20% in the center who could have been persuaded.

      (3) And he attacked mail-in voting (despite the pandemic), rather than embracing it and encouraging it, as the Democrats did.

      The 40% or so who would always vote for Donald Trump were locked in, but the three factors above almost guaranteed he wouldn’t get the support of the 10% or so he needed for victory. They were big mistakes in my view.

      BTW – I don’t think the Georgia Democrat candidates are “far left”, by most criteria … in any other Western democracy they would probably be seen as moderate and centrist (maybe center-left, maybe center-right – but not by any real stretch as serious lefties).

      I don’t recall them ever demanding the end of private property and capitalism, rounding up and shooting the ruling class, and for the proletariat to seize the means of production …

      • tucsonspur January 6, 2021 at 1:16 am #

        Pretty much agree, especially on the first point. Yeah, how far is far.

        Here’s some hometown stuff on Warnock, e.g.

        https://nypost.com/2020/12/08/georgia-senate-candidate-raphael-warnock-is-a-real-radical/

        • Tekapo January 6, 2021 at 2:04 am #

          Yes – I agree that Mr Warnock is out there a bit … but more about identity politics and race – rather than advocating the death of capitalism (assuming these are separate issues!).

            “A bit”. He’s a younger Jeremiah Wright. You are out there – a lot.

          “Pretty much agree, especially on the first point.”

          In respect of the pandemic, and the politics it implied, Donald Trump listened far too much to Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson – neither of whom know shit from clay, in terms of the mainstream of American thought.

          Trump was totally duped on the politics of Covid-19, in my view, and has paid dearly.

    11 pm Tuesday Jan 5, 2021 – TERRIBLE

    Republicans stole 11,780 votes to keep 2 GOP Senators in.
    Dominion machines were rigged against Dems.
    Dominion machines had parts swapped out.!
    Millions of Dem ballots were shredded!
    Fake ballots came in suitcases by the thousands.

    • Yohannon January 6, 2021 at 2:06 am #

      You can’t move out of Georgia and still vote in Georgia because you “identify” as Georgian. That’s like saying a hamster born in a goldfish bowl is a goldfish.

        No :-), and I can’t read Italian either. But. Word through the grapevine is that votes tonight were being sent to Pakistan. You are correct. All vote fraud enticements and illegalities are still in place in Georgia so that coupled with suppressed America First turnout equals a cute 50/49 for both Dem candidates. Stacey said she had the right amount of mail ins yesterday. And of course even though greater than 99% of all precincts are reporting somehow the counting just keeps going and going though they stopped earlier before the vote dumps that switched both races came in so they could overestimate the needed backfill. Its all a fake scam.

          I notice that absolutely nothing has been done to explore whether the ballot boxes were stuffed with phony ballots or even more so, whether the Dominion machines were capable of generating votes from thin air or switching blocks of votes. Why? Because if there is voting fraud like this, people will go to jail. Yeah, the same people that ran the fraud. Once things settle down, this is going to be buried in a very deep hole.

          The real question is, what happens between now and 2022. With the Uniparty taking over, it may make no difference. Voting in this country is now a sham. Third world status approacheth.

    Mark Levin on Hannity: The writers of the Constitution weren’t fools. Do you really think they expected the Senate to certify the results of fraudulent elections – just because that’s what is expected of them? Ditto the Vice President?

    In other words, people are saying it’s only ceremonial. But was that it’s original intent? Why bother then? What if it was intended to be a last life of defense against something like this?

    I wish I knew more, say about the precedent back in 1877, etc. But I don’t. I’ll have to watch his show and try to find out more. But I like the track he was on this evening. He’s outraged. So am I. The fix is in. Why have the audit – if they can even get it – AFTER the results have been certified? Isn’t that putting the cart before the horse? Why didn’t Cruz and Co do this earlier? Oh well, to give them the benefit of the doubt, perhaps they hoped for the Supreme Court to do its job like the rest of us.

    I think this is too late. The Democrats have the ball and they’re not giving it back. They just have to run out the clock by sitting on the ball – for this election and beyond that, for every election to come. Two more states and half a dozen more Supreme Court Justices? The deal is done.

            It will also be interesting to see your reaction when Joe Biden is certified by Congress this week, and inaugurated on 20 January.

      “In other words, people are saying it’s only ceremonial. But was that it’s original intent? Why bother then? What if it was intended to be a last life of defense against something like this?”

      The original intent was to have a final authority if (a) there were more than two viable candidates so no-one got 50%+ of the total electoral votes (that hasn’t happened), or (b) there were certified competing electoral; slates from one or more states (this hasn’t happened either).

      And lots of things occur that are ceremonial – but that doesn’t make them useless or unimportant. Almost all church services are ceremonial. The role of Mike Pence is formal and ceremonial … nothing more.

    Substitute Brutus with Tusconspur, small t – I honor him too much….

    Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
    I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
    The evil that men do lives after them;
    The good is oft interred with their bones;
    So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus
    Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:
    If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
    And grievously hath Caesar answer’d it.
    Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest–
    For Brutus is an honourable man;
    So are they all, all honourable men–
    Come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral.
    He was my friend, faithful and just to me:
    But Brutus says he was ambitious;
    And Brutus is an honourable man.
    He hath brought many captives home to Rome
    Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
    Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
    When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:
    Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
    Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
    And Brutus is an honourable man.
    You all did see that on the Lupercal
    I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
    Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?
    Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
    And, sure, he is an honourable man.
    I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,
    But here I am to speak what I do know.
    You all did love him once, not without cause:
    What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him?
    O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
    And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;
    My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,
    And I must pause till it come back to me.

      O wonderfully smelly fart, thou breath of living bowels
      Who announceth thine presence with a feeling of friction
      The motion of friction that stirreth my soul
      like a flurry of birds, escaping from mine own nether regions.

      Even somewhat more like a bird, giving out a chirp,
      and wafting away in the breeze…..unto mine neighbor.
      And that self-same neighbor, not understanding, complaineth bitterly
      He curseth his lot, whilst stopping up his nostrils.

      O pity the poor neighbor, but wait! What happens
      but the neighbor himself, who snickereth and holdeth his nose.
      Suddenly his face groweth into a strange position, with the realization
      That he hath just now released the sacred vapors of his own fart.

  92. JohnAZ January 6, 2021 at 10:12 am #

    Well, here we are.

    Warnock has won, and Ossoff too, but Fox holding on to keep up the story.

    Evaluation says one thing only. Whatever the cause, the GOP is finished in this country. Charlie Hurt said it well last night, the mealy mouth RINOs in the Deep State is responsible for the collapse of the GOP in this election and the demise of Trump. Everybody is going to try to give the blame to Trump but that is a sham. The Deep State has won, big time, and the people have given away their birthright as freedom loving beings. The Federal government is in total control as the Uniparty passes its agenda unimpeded now. Packing the courts even more, admission of two New Democratic states, socialization of health care, education and the opening of the southern border makes the finalization of the Deep State in control. Uniparty is coming.

    The GOP is history. Turncoats like Mittens have just cooked their own goose. Mittens would have been powerful if GA had elected one GOP and would have been on a path to rum for president again. Now he is nothing. And he did it to himself. Megalomaniacs eventually get their due, the Lincoln Project just cooked their own goose. Wait until they try to exert their “new power” and what is left of the GOP tells them to GTH. The GOP needs to self immoliate as they are no competition for the Uniparty.

    We wake this AM extremely uncertain of what the future holds. The good Ol’ boy America is dying and it is accelerating now. It is the people that are changing, the polity are a reflection of the change. For now, White America is under threat big time. How that changes things is uncertain right now. A big group of the White folks have hitched their wagons to the browning of America. I hope there is a special place in hell for them. They have betrayed their own folks for their very temporary gain in power. AOC and her gang have their knives out ready to do in Pelosi, Schumer and their old school. We are indeed in a brave new world.

    Another pundit said something else. He said the Black impact to the race in Georgia was a constant and the real difference is the Hispanic vote increase. Remember that as the Dems open the border and lock in the Uniparty.

    • BeetleJuice99 January 6, 2021 at 10:53 am #

      The actions of Trump cost the Republicans the senate. Plain and simple. This run-off would have been a cake walk for Purdue and Loeffler if Trump had stopped sabotaging Republicans at every turn. HIs little relief bill snafu to get back at Mitch was the straw that broke the camels back. He plays the game only for himself. Those that thought he had some deeper purpose were willfully blinded. He cared nothing about rooting out the deep state. He cared nothing about the people and the ‘good’ fight. He has always and will always only care about one thing, himself.

    • Yohannon January 6, 2021 at 1:52 pm #

      Nice silver linings. Thanks. Being in the same Party with someone means you have to play nice with them – even after they have savaged you repeatedly as Romney did Trump. And in my book, he doubled down on that by marching with Burn, Loot, Murder.

      Now he’s ruined himself and all sane people loathe him. Bravo!

      Beetle: They intended to down Trump and Traditional Americans. If they didn’t do it one way, they would have done it another. Why blame Trump for fighting for us? Some could have done it better, perhaps. But none of the cunning types could have brought us all together. I mean c’mon – he’s up against a whole throng of geniuses of cunning who have been working together for generations. His own party was filled with people against him from the get go. He was always going to lose this. The knot can’t be untied. He’s going to take out his sword and cut it.

    Ah, the blessed end of trump and his pathetic reign. And control of the Senate as a bonus where we also get rid of that pinch-faced snake McConnell – the gifts keep giving on this very fine day.

    There will be much screeching and whining which will will eventually fade away as we set to the task of triage and repair of the trump fiasco.

      It means when you transition off fossil fuels, you also make an effort to make amends with the people who live next to the refinery.

      It means when you transition the transpo sector to electric vehicles, you also invest in public transit and railways, something JHK has supported for a long time.

      It means when you pass legislation that kills coal jobs, you ensure those new unemployed are first in line for job training for a job helping us transition off fossil fuels.

      If you are so easily triggered by the word “justice”, I have some bad news for you about the first sentence in the constitution:

      “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish JUSTICE, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

    Thank you for yet another insightful take on current events. Totalitarianism is being ushered in under the distraction of the fake virus, and times are dire, but the good news is that most people are rejecting the nanobot nectar vaccine, which is designed to maim, sterilize and even kill. So there’s that!

    Sadly… the totalitarian tools are in place: Media is clamoring for censorship, even once-lefty champions for free speech. Our media has been paid off by the pharmaceutical industry.

    I truly hope that a tipping point of some sort exposes this to the point where people understand what’s happening. I don’t know why anyone with a functioning brain doesn’t see it. I guess it’s the conditioning.

    Throw out your TV. The brainwashing/programming actually works.

          Their policies are set up that way, their leadership (deeds)is most definitely that way.

    Serves those damn democrats right. Trump won the election with the most votes ever given to a president in history. Those scum sucking democrats are trying to steal the election right out in the open. There’s all kinds of flags out there, confederate flags, etc., I even saw some QAnon signs floating around. It’s good to see that the people who actually know what’s going on in DC are on top of it. I hear that there is a huge room in the basement of congress, where the democrats take little kids and bugger them before they cut them up to cannibalize them. I found out about this on the only news source I can trust, which is QAnon on Twitter. Those national news organizations can’t be trusted. No siree, I’ll get my news on twitter from somebody who won’t give out their name, rather than those damn news anchors and reporters. Damn right, it’s about time us real Americans stand up and show these commie bastards that they can’t steal our rights.

          they used intimidation tactics to silence people and big tech to double down.

    The most aggressive protesters likely don’t even give a shit about the election or Trump. They just like anarchy. Same on both sides of the political spectrum. These types of folks are apolitical. They just enjoy the thrill of the purge.

        No, they’re “our boys” for good or bad. The media will make it for bad. Law’n Order are the rule of the day after months of mass rioting and a stolen election. And it will be amazing how many conservatives will go with it, stupid to the end.

        Politics tends to get messy. Things were always going to get very messy after what we’ve been through. The question: What will Trump do with this? If he hangs them out to dry, all is lost. He has to use this momentum and the so called right wing media that can’t go with it are useless or worse.

    Trump blundered, but it was the Democrats who in the end drove him out with four years of vicious persecution.

    We need more of this. We don’t need Fox news condemning this act of patriotism and spewing palaver about how un-American it is. It’s inherently American and inspirational. The wrongs of the last four years must be righted. This is why I say these things.

    We must put the fear and the dagger of revenge and retribution deep into the heart of the Left. This is how it must be. Patriotic music playing over the provoked white heat of violence.

    Hope people watch their asses and don’t do stupid things just because they can. Choose your action for a reason, do it right and be done.

    Again, haven’t viewed any of this yet – but from what I’ve read in a smattering of headlines from a variety of sources, I fear we may have just lost the moral high ground in the public forum (as in “you don’t see us trying to take over federal buildings and burning down Starbucks, like Antifa.”)

    Please let no flames catch…literally. Make yourselves heard, everybody out there. But don’t start randomly rioting. That’s the dumbest action humanity has in its playbook. Keep it organized.

    • tucsonspur January 6, 2021 at 7:15 pm #

      Large scale, organized protesting, rioting if it takes that, should occur at least weekly. Constant harassment like Maxine wanted. Where does she live? But all this may make Biden keel over, then the horror show really begins.

      Choosing someone like Harris knowing that

    Trump just came out with a fairly well measured response. Told the folks to go home peacefully, but said ‘I know how you feel, they took this from us’.

    Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify,” Trump tweeted. “USA demands the truth!”

    Donald Trump

    Yoho: Pence believes or pretends to believe that it doesn’t matter if the election was fair or not. He has to certify the votes, just because. Because he always does what he’s supposed to. He’s a good boy. The Founding Fathers weren’t good boys who did what they were supposed to do. They were Men.

      The FF, TJ wrote in the Declaration that when the government becomes oppressive, it must be overthrown and replaced. It is the job in peaceful times of elections to do that. Legal elections, not Uniparty corruption.

      When elections do not matter, as now, it may take an armed revolution to undo the damage done by Brown loving gimme artists like Cuddles.

      I hope this country has not become a gigantic pot of loser gimme artists selling drugs to the cities. I am not optimistic.

      An astute pundit today reminded everyone that once freebies are given to the public, it is impossible to take it away.

      The next time a Leftist says anything about the state of US debt, spit in his eye. They are the cause of our debt, followed by the real enemy, the phony Deep State GOPers.

      Trump made a huge error in his quest to stop the growth of the socialism in DC, he thought there was a anti-Deep State element in the GOP. A few, but for the most part the Deep State GOPers had sold their souls a long time ago.

      Our future is the further ascent of central government and the decline of state and local government. For now, the Deep State has won, by hook and crook. How the real Right reacts will determine what happens to the country.

      Today maybe just the beginning.

      VP Mike Pence didn’t have the power or constitutional authority to do what Donald Trump was demanding. It could be argued that he had courage by NOT attempting to go rogue.

      The Congressional Joint Session is essentially ceremonial – it is not the forum for interrogating what occurred in states and precincts and polling booths. That must all happen beforehand.

      They receive the certified slates and accept them … their only discretionary role is to hear objections (and no objection has ever been upheld), decide between competing slates (and there aren’t any this time), and select the president and VP if no one ticket receives a majority of votes (which could happen if there were three viable candidates, but not this time).

      And no state gave any indication that they wished to re-visit or de-certify their electoral vote slates. They believe they ran fair elections, and no-one has proved otherwise, in any court or tribunal that mattered.

    How do we limit the damage that the democrats might inflict on the nation? Do we send patriots to our southern border to turn back people trying to cross?

    I have no suggestions as to how to prevent;

    Packing the Supreme Court.

    Admitting Puerto Rico and DC as new states.

    Abolition of the Electoral College.

    Abolition of the Senate filibuster.

    Normalization of critical race theory.

    The 1619 Project.

    Amnesty for illegal aliens.

    Promotion of gender-fluidity.

    There’s much more potential for harm by the Dems, of course.

          There are quite good reasons to grant statehood to Puerto Rico (it would be 31st in population rank), and Washington DC (there are six states with a population less than a million).

          Republicans will fight it vehemently I expect, since there is a reasonably chance all four (at least three) of the new senators would be Democrats. It’s hard to envisage a chopping up of California – certainly into no more than two states (Santa Barbara and south versus Carmel and north).

          • MrMangoOnMyShoulder January 7, 2021 at 7:54 am #

            “There are quite good reasons to grant statehood to Puerto Rico (it would be 31st in population rank), and Washington DC (there are six states with a population less than a million).”

            However, I would suggest that just because there are a lot of people somewhere that want to be given statehood is not a “quite good reason”, on its own, to grant it.

            We can’t support our own 50 states, sure let’s add more. D.C. is fine with me I guess, but I’m not sure what the technicalities are there in how the district was originally created.

        Actually, the fraud was rather obvious and blatant given that they stopped counting the votes in 5 battleground states at the same time with identical vote spikes putting Biden ahead in the wee hours of the morning. It’s the same playbook of the Dominion voting machines in Latin American countries and the Philippines. Too blatant. Everyone knows that it was fraud. It represents a collapse in the ethics of the society. The US Supreme Court was afraid to look at the voluminous evidence. Literally, hundreds of affidavits of eye witnesses. They were literally scrubbing the Dominion voting machines with the consent of Democratic judges. Corrupt….

    I read an article some time ago that said that many, if not all of, the big Silicon Valley IT billionaires all “micro-Shroom” every day. They literally take magic mushrooms every day because they think that it improves their brain power. A large swath of the American Elite are all spaced out on magic mushrooms. Who knows what the mental state of the American leadership class is like now, but I doubt that it resembles anything like John D. Rockefeller, Sr., who encouraged the working classes to go to church on Sunday. The Elite used to have a sense of Noblesse Oblige…

      Pucker – “The Elite used to have a sense of Noblesse Oblige…”

      I agree, those were the days.

      Now, of course, the elite of Ye Olde Tyme America didn’t give a shit about the people either…but they attempted to at least publicly appear worthy of their gifted status.

      Now they can just tweet “fuck off” from a technocastle on Dr. Evil’s Secret Lair island.

      Both settings contain their own points of irony and amusement to my mind…but I think the world where morality was considered something to aspire to, as opposed to laugh at, was probably a smarter way to go.

    I have thought for ten years that the number one issue politically in the US is

    Tada

    Drugs, the access to them and the control of the trade.

    The Deep State and also the global financiers need the revenue from the drugs to pay the interest payments on all their debts.

    The people of the US, the primary consumer base want access and reasonable pricing for their drugs. When Trump wants cheaper drugs, is he only talking about prescriptions?

    The real question is why do the folks need the drugs, why so much smoking or eating marijuana?

    Could it be that the government divides us and keeps us crazy and indolent? The AMA and ANA bought off on pharma studies in the 1980s on opioid administration that hooked two generations. I know, in nursing school, I heard the BS.

    What would happen if drugs were just legalized? Would the population just turn to s**t? It IS a libertarian agenda. It would make the cartels legal, like the mob with gambling.

    In a tweet that has since been removed by Twitter, President Trump on Wednesday evening stoked his supporters who have descended on Capitol Hill, telling them they are justified in their actions.

    “These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously and viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly and unfairly treated for so long,” Trump tweeted. “Go home with love and in peace. Remember this day forever!”

    Yo: Sounds like goodbye? But yes, don’t let the media make up your mind on this. Storming the capital was a natural if unwise thing to do in face of the great wrong that has been done to us. We’ll know more in a few days. Did it start when Pence refused to Stand? Or as Anglin suggested, was the security very light, encouraging them to surge forward, especially since their leader was not there to stop them?

      This great warrior, the Death Angel of Mormonism and Smith’s bodyguard, was told by Smith that if he never cut his hair, no bullet or blade could hurt him. And so it was. He only cut his hair once: to make a wig for Smith sister in law who had lost her hair to illness. True greatness.

    Cited below is the transcript of Trump’s speech in DC to the assembled thousands. In this speech he lays out his claims… in each state and some larger districts, regarding his claims for voter fraud. Numbers cited, fraud explained.

    It is a long, meandering speech, as would be expected from Trump…but does outline his reasons for being unsupportive of the current narrative that is the 2020 Presidential Election.

A guy who would have invited Red Coats in for tea if he had lived back then? Priceless (worthless). Is this all he has?

      Listening to Sean and Tucker. Horrible. One guest after another BEMOANING the breach of the CAPITAL (so what if its occupied territory) and what happened to the poor COPS. A few of them got boo boos. Oh boo hoo. The hideous Steve Scalise compared these angry, desperate goofballs with the Antifa – and the Leftist who shot him. No loyalty whatsoever. Utter delusion. The Leftists NEVER do this. Never turn on their own like this. They are so much better at this. So much more serious.

      Hannity: Fighting is BAD! Patriots fight. Antifa fight. Same, see? School marm morality. He’s achieved a Black Belt but knows nothing about the morality of the warrior. Or the relation of violence to politics. Or really about the Revolution. He “knows” but it’s locked away in a cabinet in his mind. Not to be used except for dry historical purposes. Utter failure.

        I keep advising – the ceremonial Joint Session of Congress is not the place where you can run a federal case or a Congressional inquiry.

        If there were election fraud and state malpractice (and these are not a given) then Team Trump had to deal with them between 3 November and 14 December. All states have certified, and all states but Wisconsin met the safe-harbor date. Their slates are “conclusive”.

            VP Mike Pence has just declared Joe Biden President … not President-Elect, but President, to be sworn in on 20 January.

            It would be good for the whole nation (bigly) if Donald Trump now conceded to Biden, wished him well, and retired gracefully.

            Anything less is pug-ugly. And dangerous – as we saw today.

            Update:

            Donald Trump has just made a statement to say that there would be an orderly transition on 20 January … he really had no other options.

            Those with fever dreams about the Insurrection Act or Martial Law might need to look elsewhere … perhaps consider Argentina or Iraq or Zimbabwe.

          They never were very serious. How could they be and talk like this, missing the main points so utterly? They know which side their bread is buttered on. Tucker too, couldn’t even watch him. He’s been weak for months. Hannity’s been really into this (or allowed to be by Fox) but now he’s cucking big time, going with his role in the narrative.

          • SoftStarLight January 7, 2021 at 2:35 am #

            Well I wish to believe that perhaps it is actually Congress itself who has been played. Of course it may be that we were routed in this battle but I am not convinced. TBH, deep down I have always despised most Republican elected officials because they are not conservative or nationalist by any stretch of the imagination. I am still unable to get over what Tucker did to Sydney Powell. Even if he had valid concerns he did essentially undermine her work at a very pivotal moment when he should have supported the momentum. Sean is like stuck in a bad rerun and I don’t think he would ever dare leave the reservation. I refuse to ever condemn the protestors. We need bold brave people who think for and own themselves. We aren’t going to get that from the Republican Party. And Trump indicated it today. The Republican Party is essentially done politically. The America First movement is however alive, well, and despite the tribulations growing.

          • chola3 January 7, 2021 at 2:44 am #

            No way a big swindle can occur without both sides colluding. What could be more obvious than ballots just marked against Trump without affecting any other candidates?

            Ballot stuffing only in absolutely DEM areas so republican candidates with winning chances won’t be affected the least.

To the extent Trump continues to serve as the leader of the nationalist Right we still have him. But we need new leaders.

      Just think. How likely is it that the leader of a country who has presided over a disastrous pandemic response and a struggling economy would get re-elected in a landslide? It’s possible that such a person would be re-elected but not in a landslide. This is one of Trump’s failings, he just can’t help himself with overstating anything that might show him in a good light.

      It was definitely not a landslide victory for Trump and, according to judges and those appointed to consider legal and electoral matters, not even a victory for Trump at all. The so-called evidence has been either weak or explainable for reasons other than fraud. And yet, by his repeated claims, he has managed to convince a significant number of people, resulting in the violence we saw, and that may not be the end of it. It looks like Trump will continue to claim the election was stolen even as the transition takes place and for years afterwards. Normal life in the US may not be possible for some time to come.

          You dodged the question. There is no way that the real result could have been a “landslide” fro Trump. Trump always goes over the top. As I’ve said before, no-one can know what the result was, if the certified result was wrong. Maybe Biden won by less, maybe Trump scraped a win. But a Trump landslide is beyond the bounds of possibility.

          And several judges made scathing remarks about the so-called evidence so stop hiding behind the lie that Trumps team of lawyers couldn’t get a judge to look at the evidence. There is no strong evidence of massive fraud. Yet you still support a man who incited insurrection and still spouts lies about the election even as he promises a peaceful transition. His hangers on are departing him in droves; it’s time to do the same.

            “maybe Trump scraped a win.” –Mike Roberts

            “His hangers on are departing him in droves; it’s time to do the same.” –Mike Roberts

            Soul Forensics,

            “Your admission, in these five words”

            Well, I guess I expected that you’d ignore the rest of what I wrote and, instead, fixated on a phrase that you think you could twist into an admission of something. What I was saying was that I, like everyone else here and like Trump, do not know the extent of any fraud and, given that, it is just within the bounds of possibility, though highly unlikely, that Trump scraped a win. What is simply not possible is that Trump won by a landslide, as he keeps on saying.

            If you’re surprised by a phrase that someone uses, it is most likely because you’ve taken it the wrong way.

            As for those departing Trump, I don’t take your claim that “Trump hangers on” have been leaving Trump in droves since 2015 to be an admission of anything. However, many previously staunch Trump supporters have been criticising him implicitly or explicitly for the last few weeks. Lately, Lindsey Graham has jettisoned Trump and declared Biden to have been lawfully elected. That is the same person who Raffensperger said, in November, had urged him to throw out legal votes.

            it’s over and it certainly looks like the election was fair, legal and decisive.

        The best long term solution to it is to make it a non-English entity. No need to kill anyone. Liberalism, free sex and less family orientated behaviour, added with immigration, will do it in time.

        Russia probably hopes the Latinos are the immigrants. China and India probably hoping the other guy WONT be the immigrant power in the U.S. Thus probably all three agree Latinos are the best.

        Inside the US itself, I saw Trump hoping to unite the two oldest demography, White and Black, against this fate. Unfortunately nobody seem to get it.

      • jwhiting January 7, 2021 at 1:19 pm #

        Really sad to watch, some of his books are huge influences on my personal philosophy, but to watch the clear descent into Q land over the past year has been remarkable. It’s like watching a train wreck, hard to look away but not pleasant to see.

        The amount of overt racism and white nationalist comments has also increased significantly. I’m by no means a partisan, or a liberal, but the quality and level of discourse all through the political spectrum has really dropped in the past decade, and every time it seems it has reached a nadir, it gets worse.

        He’s not the only intelligent person I know of who has gone down the rabbit hole, and I can only imagine how many careers and friendships have been destroyed in our country in the past months.

            I’ve seen the same thing myself (apparently intelligent people supporting Trump) and have tried to see what they are on about. The one thing that permeates the arguments of many is that Biden is worse than Trump, not that they actually like Trump and I think they all did not vote for Trump last time.

            I guess we’ll see if Biden will be worse but it’s really difficult to see how that can be true when Trump was a serial liar who failed on most of his promises and rubbished any attempt at critical, serious, journalism as “fake news”. He also most certainly did not drain the swamp but created a new swamp.

    For the hell of it, I decided to go to Drudge real quick and see what “he’s” saying (even though he’s been long gone from that site since their ideological takeover last year).

    The headlines read as if a nuclear bomb went off at every Capitol building across the country yesterday.

    “MAGA Turns Terror!”
    “Biden Warns Sedition”
    “Calls For 25th Amendment Trump Removal Escalate”
    “Nation Shaken To The Core”

    They even have a photo from the Capitol steps at night appearing to be in flames (flood lights and haze/smoke in reality). Of course, it was not on fire.

    Anyone who believes any of the bullshit headlines above is officially either completely devoid of functional thought, or entirely invested in their side being right at any cost. And not only do they not think that’s a bad thing (it is…), they now have the votes to do dig in.

    Sedition, my ass. Calling for a mass crowd to show support via what he repeatedly said was to be a peaceful protest, then when they got rowdy him telling everyone to go home…is not sedition. In any country. Anywhere. Ever.

    These people are hopeless.

    Errrkay. Yes, A woman was shot by Capitol Police while breaking in through a window. That is indeed sad, as is every other senseless death. But the rest of the escalation was a WWE/Carnival Sideshow prepared to make everyone there look dumb. They did a good job.

    But the end of the world (or even one tiny amount as bad as even the smallest riot we’ve seen this last 8 months) it is not.

    I say, “Lighten up, Francis.”

    • Pat Roach January 7, 2021 at 10:11 am #

      I’ve been following JHK from architecture critic to Long Emergency theorist to accelerationist, to old man yells at cloud / armchair Clint Eastwood, to Anti-anti-Trumper, and now believer in 4-D Chess. The shark was jumped when he got all those extra eyeballs from Zero Hedge. I think that is where most of the Neanderthal commenters came from as well.

      Future scholars, if there will be such a thing, will be forced to defend his early ideas from his later ones and probably get cancelled for doing so!

      • jwhiting January 7, 2021 at 2:11 pm #

        Agree here too…

        Sad part is he has a ton of great ideas but the descent has been eye opening and a little sad.

        You can see the accelerationism starting in Long Emergency, but it’s really gone off the rails now. Like he wants to see his predictions about collapse come true in his own life..

    Who will be charged for the murder of this young white women? One shot fired from inside the house chambers through a locked door into an unknown target. Also in the crowd being fired upon were fellow Capital police officers easily seen in the video. Everybody that was inside the locked chambers knows who fired the shot. Either a panic or accidental discharge but it is pretty poor police work.

      It will not even be investigated. There is no longer any representation for Trumpers in this country. The Deep State is almost at 100% in DC now, The biggest joke of the day is the GOP meeting to elect Rona’s successor. There is no GOP, the turncoats will look to create a post Trump new GOP, but there is zero heart left.

      Thus it shall be for all traitors.

      If Trump tells the people of this country to stuff it, any opposition to the Uniparty takeover will be gone. Y, my hopes for any future for a Trump led Third party effort, Constitutional or otherwise, is taking a big hit today. There are no characters from DC to help him.

      The demographics of this country deserve Uniparty and totalitarian rule.

      Today shows there will be no counter movement.

      You can go to Gab & see a video of who fired the fatal shot. It was from a man inside the locked door, who has been identified as part of Mike Pence’s Secret Service detail. He was in no immediate danger, just a complete & utter dereliction of duty (& who will not be charged & probably receive a medal for his cowardice.)

    You arrogant assholes, especially Cuddles, or whoever you really are, have conveniently forgotten BLM and Antifa during the past four years and the horrible damage they have done to the infrastructure of major cities and the pscyche of this country. This morning, listening to the few remaining supporters of the populist movement become turncoats for the Deep State makes me sick.

    YOU are the reason for the collapse of the patriotic American. Your continual rants have broken down the goodness that was America.
    Even now after Trump has said he is going to leave, your types cannot leave it alone, 25th amendment my ass.

    YOU know so little about proper governance of this country all you could find to do is take one man, one with enough guts to shut you jerks down, and proceed with numbers to destroy him. Name calling, him and his family is all you were capable of doing. You say he has lied, your entire attack against him has been based on lies and deceit, for four damnable years. He made the economy work for all the people and your types destroyed it by making Covid into a economy destroying machine. Instead of working with the man to develop working methods to control the spread, oh no, we are going to destroy the one thing that he was able to accomplish in spite of you.

    At the end, you had to cheat to win an election. Then instead of giving the opposition proper legal exposure, it was just shut down by even the traitors in his own party. This is the most despicable period in American history in my eyes and your folks are the basis for all of it.

    You have no call to call out JHK at all here. I cannot believe the bullshit he has allowed you all, whoever you are, to put on this blog for the past four years. He was a more liberal sort for years, but when he saw what your people were doing to this country, he took a stand against you. Kudos to him. His opinions are going to continue to stand for the goodness of America in the future, and I just hope he takes down scumbags name callers like you and yours before you do much damage.

    You have won, and unfortunately permanently I am afraid. The Deep State’s reaction to the protests yesterday is living proof of how Deep the Deep State is. The end of America starts in 13 days. Welcome Amerika, the rebirth of the Communist revolution.

      I agree. I used to believe in “free speech” but I understand now that such pixie stick pipe dreams are just that. We have never been free and have always been subject to genocide and destruction by people like those who come here to constantly ridicule Jim. I am appreciative to him that he speaks his mind and that he allows people like us who have ideas far away from the state approved narratives to speak. I hope that Jim will silence people who disagree with him in a vicious manner. If at some point that is me then I will be resolved to it since I am making this statement here.

      On your other points I would say don’t waste your time and energy. The people who are even now continuing to berate Trump and so forth and so on are not acting or speaking with any good will or are even trying to convince you of anything. We have nothing to discuss with people like this. They are enemies who would harm you if they could. You will never convince them to like what you like because they hate you and they hate our Nation.

      The “United States” is not a Nation or even a country. The “United States” is a corporation operated and owned by various international oligarchs and parties who have no allegiance whatsoever to any persons living within the boundaries of the “United States” whom are nothing more than expendable resources to be utilized at the will of the corporation.

    We’re in for a bit of a ride though, it seems. I’d assume most of the attempted political changes will amount to nothing of real substance, per usual. But some will. And there will be a general societal blurring of what used to be after a relatively short period of time. Much like masking and social distancing is now self-enforced as completely normal (for the forseeable future, I might add) after only nine months of the earth spinning.

    There will be push back though, particularly from many of today’s teenagers who find much of the hallowed social justice “achievements” to be nonsense as well. Just hoping there’s something recognizable to push back to by then.

    News flash, left – everyone already has the same rights…the bills were passed long ago, official wrongs officially righted, fairness required, money redistributed. It’s been done, at least by law…now it’s just individual people choosing to be either tolerant or intolerant, kind or unkind, fair or unfair…and that will never change, ever.

    So for my money you can collectively shove all the progressive “progress”. Everything changes on its own, always. Some things need attention and redirecting, even rethinking. But we don’t have to keep forcing the issue when we’ve run out of things that actually matter in our daily lives. Some things are already as good as they’re going to get.

    Happy Thursday, all!

    Gentle readers…a postscript to an ugly season;

    My logic is thus;

    If Biden won the election fair and square, you would then grant the Main Stream Media credibility…they wrote that it was an honest election, with a bit of mischief, but nothing serious that would have changed the outcome.

    If Biden won the election fair and square, you must assume the Courts, at various levels, were honest in their appraisal of the arguments they denied.

    If Biden won the election fair and square, you must count as liars, or at least fools, those who claimed first-person accounts of voting irregularities. They should then all be arrested for various criminal incitements. Trump, Giuliani, many Senators and Representatives…many State officials…potentially seditious statements/actions.

    If you give credibility to the MSM, you must then believe that the summer’s riots were…mostly peaceful. You must believe that Hunter Biden is entirely innocent, or his crimes would have been reported. You must believe that Joe Biden gained his vast wealth honesty, and that Burisma, and the Chinese incidents/memes are without merit.

    Can you believe these things?

    I am having some difficulty, considering my age and level of education…I fear that I can no longer believe in the rule of law as a given in our country. Perhaps I was always …naïve. Perhaps the rule of law never really existed.

            You don’t SEE because you can’t see past the talking points and nonsense to see just how fucked up this last “election” cycle was.

            You don’t get that all of America has now see our election cycles are full of fraud and no election will ever go smoothly.
            If the roles were reversed you know shit would be burning all over the country.

      One pos “conservative” on Hannity last night talked about the White House being ransacked. Untrue. They broke some windows to get in. The livestream shows them acting proud and silly, but respectful – even saying, Don’t break anything.

      Hardened revolutionaries, like the old Irish or Russians would have held the building, make demands – at least the demand to be heard. But these amateurs just ambled out amiably enough. They were angry, desperate and once attaining their “goal” had no idea what to do with it. And for this they are being called terrorists and the ones who showed their faces will be prosecuted, maybe for more than just trespassing.

      The cop worship is off the charts. I saw no efforts to hurt police officers, just a bit of pushing back. Mostly just tried to dodge and get around them. I saw lots of police officers hurting protesters when clearing the area later, acting with a severity seldom seen during the last six months with the Left.

      I’m having the same thoughts as you. As one Joker meme put it, Things aren’t getting worse, only more clear. But worse in the sense that they are not going to be held back anymore by the same level of pretense.

      Can’t be done if the election system is not reformed. And it will not be.

      Secession or Revolution are the only answers now. But yes, they would love us to spend our remaining energy in futile protests, be it with the Republicans or something else.

      My current answer: Trump takes his followers into the Constitution Party. They begin to win elections in deep Red rural America. When faced with fraud they crush it. Work outwardly first and then towards the cities of Red America. Leave Blue America alone. When sufficiently strong, leave the United States of America.

    Besides the no-shoot situation murder of the AF veteran in the Capitol, yesterday’s antics were the perfect ending for this clown country.

    All the BS myths about dignity, decorum, and hallowed institutions were evaporated by a mob lead by a shirtless Nordic inspired marauder.

    He will live forever. A meme for life. Whenever these so-called leaders get on their high-horse: the viking pic.

    All the sanctimony the US displayed in the past calling out elections in other places: poof! Gone.

    As the privileged bought and paid for politicians cowered, some country folk from Arkansas kicked up their Redwings on the desk in plastic Nancy’s cryo chamber.

    Absolutely perfect.

    Trump brought it all the way to the end. A carnival barker at the biggest carnival in town.

    A corporatocracy ruled by technocrats and oligarchs.

    That was the last display of freedom in the land

    Just a quick note to thank you for being the worst president of all time and we look forward to shoving your abundant surplus into the middle distance.

    Some gifts:

    – The Senate
    – The House
    – a decent president
    – single-handed destruction of the GOP
    – US has become a pariah state now
    – a US president inciting a riot
    – possibly impeached twice (quite the accomplishment Don-Don

    You are a vile, pathetic infantile LOSER. I hope the SDNY nails your ass to the floor and takes every last $ you have

    Sincerely,
    You admiring public

    Rush is back, sounding weak after a very bad week. But he stand strong for Trump and the Protestors. The first Republican I’ve heard refusing to adopt the Uniparty line and start badge sucking and raving about real estate and terrorism.

    After Andrew Jackson’s victory, his followers trashed the White House. The valiant goofballs did not trash the Capital. They just took selfies and then left. And most certainly did not set in on fire like the Antifa would have done.

    Anglin sets the new party line: The People went to visit the People’s House. They are Heroes. And the woman who was shot is a martyr. Anyone who says differently is not of Us.

    This is a special or Liminal Time. A great wrong has been done and one cannot expect all ordinary rules to be followed. In ordinary times, of course respect the Capital, its protocols, and the enforcers thereof, the Capital Police.

    But the Fox New Blowhards understand none of this nor do they want to. Just Law’n Order. The Patriots who went in are no better than Antifa. Fighting is bad! One or two cops got boo boos! A few windows got broke – terrorism. Sickening.

    The Police are the public face (and arms) of a dully elected government. As such, they deserve respect and compliance. But what if the government is not dully elected, what then? Well then you comply and give them outer respect (if you are wise), but no inner respect. Why should you? They are working for Tyrants and will do the terrible things they are told to do.

    Some months ago, Michelle Malkin was at a Back the Blue rally. The Antifa showed up in force. The police were told to stand down. They did so. The Antifa attacked and many were injured. Would good men have stood down? No, but employees who want to keep their jobs and get their pensions would.

    It’s natural for little boys to admire things of strength and want to be involved. They like trucks and want to be truck drivers. They admire cops and want to be one when they grow up. But to still have such simple admiration as a man implies immaturity. Skilled labor? No doubt. One can admire a difficult job done well as one admires a good carpenter. But more because he deals in more crucial and human things. But by the same coin, it is worse if he does it poorly or corruptly – or serves a corrupt a government.

    A good man (not a good cop) who is a cop is thus now in a difficult situation. Many will have to leave as per their conscience. That’s not practical. Yes it isn’t. Morality often is like that.

        Agree with ya 100% here.

        There is a reason the media and politicians (besides Sanders) don’t talk about class.

        “It’s a big club, and you’re not in it”

        Most of the MAGAs storming the capitol have more in common with your local poor black neighborhood than with 45. Media and the political parties don’t want to admit it because the entire culture of this country has a caste system baked in, and it is designed to prevent the masses from ever overthrowing the elites. Distract the workers with racism, spectacle, fake politics, and now social media too.

        How many of the folks on here are willing to admit that BLM and MAGA are two flavors of the same thing?

        There is an increase of populism and anti-elitism in the USA, and although each person is feeling it for a different reason, if we don’t start talking to each other like humans again it’s not going to be pretty

        The colored have massive support from the Democrats and increasingly the Republicans. The Uniparty.

        Even though Trump has not conceded, it is looking quite bleak.

    • Tekapo January 7, 2021 at 4:12 pm #

      “There is no logic to this move, unless there is more.”

      I tend to agree.

      I think the Democrats are making big mistakes going for Trump right now – even if they believe they have widespread public support after the storming of the Capitol by Trump supporters.

      Both a doomed impeachment and the 25th Amendment talk are not the way to secure the “peaceful transition” that everyone is claiming they are seeking.

      Biden already faces at least 40% of the population who vehemently believe his election was fraudulent and he has no legitimacy … and probably a fair few more who suspect it wasn’t totally clean.

      There are also political risks for the Biden administration if they seek to legally investigate Trump after he leads office, especially if there is a peaceful departure and Trump fades a fair bit from public view.

      But if he keeps agitating against Biden, and firing up the base, then they might well hound him … it’s sort of up to Donald Trump, I think.

    The Blood Of Patriots, by Zman
    Posted on January 7, 2021

    Yesterday, Ashli Babbitt was shot in the neck and died while protesting inside the Capitol with other protestors. A group of angry Trump supporters had got into the building and were making a racket. This is not an unusual occurrence. During the Kavanaugh hearings, Democrats organized mobs of screeching women to harass Republicans in the halls of the Capitol. Party media was there to celebrate it as the purest expression of democracy. It was power to the people time.

    That was not the case yesterday, according to the media. Instead, it was a direct threat to “our” democracy. This is a bit ironic in that the protests are over the obvious corruption in the election system. The direct threat to democracy is the people demanding their elections be fair and honest. That’s why Ashli Babbitt was inside the Capitol making a racket. Her whole life she had been told this was how citizens angry at their government demand redress when the system fails.

    That is how popular government is supposed to work. The people expect their government to be responsive to the will of the people. When they don’t like that they see, they vote for different people to hold office. If those politicians ignore the people, then the people go bang on their door and demand redress of their grievances. The politicians then come out and address their issues. That’s not it works now. Instead, they open fire on the people like they did yesterday.

    Ashli Babbitt was not some drug-addled degenerate, like we saw last summer, when the ruling class unleashed their mobs on us. She was a veteran, serving 14 years in the US Air Force, and she was a high-level security official throughout her time in service. She was like most of the people at the protest, in that she had bought into what she was told about America. So much so she signed onto serve in the military and go overseas in various deployments.

    Like most of the protestors, she was there because she had spent her life playing by the rules and defending those rules. She was there because the people in charge of maintaining the rules have been violating those rules. They ignored the official corruption in the 2016 election and they laughed about the grotesque fraud that was plainly obvious in the 2020 election. Like the rest of those protestors, she was angry that the politicians were not following the rules.

    For her trouble, she died in a pool of her own blood inside what is supposed to be the people’s house in America. It is a bit ironic that a citizen exercising her rights would be murdered by an agent of a corrupt system that is now infringing on her rights. Murder is the right word here. The man who shot her was under no threat and was on the other side of a locked and barricaded door. The murderer was part of Vice President Pence’s security detail. The video, for those interested, is here.

    There will be no charges against the murderer. Unlike the cops involved in the George Floyd case or any number of others, this coward will not be fired from his job or face criminal charges. He will probably get a medal. He will not have his face and address plastered all over the media, so that he can be attacked by mobs. There will be no media orchestrated campaign to defund the police over this. Most likely, the whole thing will be put on mute so that the public forgets it.

    Of course, unlike George Floyd, Ashli Babbitt will not get three nationally televised funerals and be treated as a fallen hero. That honor goes to drug-addled criminals who overdose in police custody. In this America, patriots who served their country and exercise their rights get gunned down by agents of the state. This woman, this patriot, bleeding out in the halls of the Capitol, murdered by an agent of the state, is the perfect image of what has gone terribly wrong in America.

    No doubt, millions of decent people who sympathized with her cause are saddened by this terrible tragedy. It did not have to come to this. This was not an accident. This was not a terrible misfortune. The people on the other side of that door, the people who celebrate the murderer of Ashli Babbitt now, they did this. They created this crisis that threatens to plunge to country into a death spiral. They had choices and they had plenty of warning, but they refused to listen and now Ashli Babbitt is dead.

    Be angry, but also remember Ashli Babbitt. The Republican Party will not remember her or even mention her name. The media will work hard to make sure you forget her name and how she died yesterday. Dissidents need to remember her so we never forget why we are angry and why we are dissidents. We are angry with a system that thinks it is okay to murder citizens who play by the rules and exercise their rights as citizens to petition their government for redress.

    The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. We have had 13 states independent for 11. years. There has been one rebellion. That comes to one rebellion in a century and a half for each state. What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.

    Yoho: Zman’s last paragraph is Thomas Jefferson’s famous quote about the Tree of Liberty. From one of his letters. Just looked it up on monticello.org.

    • Tate January 7, 2021 at 3:13 pm #

      Zman’s column was on target today, & from it you can get a link to Gab, which shows a video of the murder of young Ashli. It was a cowardly Secret Service agent in Mike Pence’s detail who fired his pistol from behind the locked door through the glass pane. It will all be hushed up by the mainstream media.

      The people on the other side of that door, the people who celebrate the murderer of Ashli Babbitt now, they did this.

    Senator Lindsey Graham says that Biden will be the legitimate president. No he will not. Not after this election that was influenced in an obscene way by the corporate media and big tech, all acting as agents of the Democrat Party.

    On January 20, Biden will be installed to fill the office of president. He will not be inaugurated as the legitimate president.

  166. Yohannon January 7, 2021 at 3:06 pm #

    Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th. I have always said we would continue our fight to ensure that only legal votes were counted. While this represents the end of the greatest first term in presidential history, it’s only the beginning of our fight to Make America Great Again!

    Donald Trump via Dan Scavino’s twitter. A concession? Hopefully the only one he will ever give. He always was rational and said that if he lost, he would leave.

    Or a feint? Just yesterday General Flynn was on with Alex Jones saying that it was a 100% certainty that Trump would be President. But being who he is, he would say that wouldn’t he? Maybe Trump realized that the possibility just wasn’t there. I mean he couldn’t even get the Executive Order report written. Every step he took was thin ice breaking underneath him. Maybe he wanted to save himself, his family, and his staff from needless prosecution, persecution, and prison. And perhaps Us from a hopeless blood bath that we could not win since he realized the Army was not likely to come in, at least not on our side. Cowardice? Or as the old saying goes, Discretion is the better part of valor. The Hard Core are very angry. Don’t blame them of course.

    Beijing Biden looking a little shaky this afternoon, probably thinking, “At 78 years old, what the hell have I gotten myself into”.

    And there might be some resentment against the people who encouraged him, including Jill.

    Beijing could be down in the Caribbean right now, sitting in the sun, sipping scotch on ice, napping anytime he got the notion, spending some of the Chinese schwag stored up in that Swiss bank account opened personally by Xi Jingping himself. But no, they’re wheeling Bedpan into the White House 2 weeks from now, where the weight of the world will be upon him, LoL.

      I disagree, BRH. Biden — if he even knows he “won” — will fade slowly away, like a fetid zephyr over a sunny hill, never to be sensed again. The public will be reassured every fortnight by a recorded Hologram speech, audio-rejigged by computer (extra bass, smooth-edited dynamics, tone control), with video voodoo to make him look like the vibrating shade of Mr. Rogers, nondescript suit in place of sweater.

      The ‘real’ Biden will spend the rest of his mortal allotment as ever these past years — mashed peas fed by Dr. Jill, Teletubbies later, and, at four, directed to the bedroom for the all-important nap. Evenings he gets a little more garrulous, but the help is plentiful and, when rung for, duly arrives.

      Out here today we have that and “The Las Vegas Story” with Victor Mature and Jane Russell, “Jeopardy” with Barbara Stanwyck, the “Narrow Margin” with Charles McGraw and Marie Windsor, and some others.

      Black and White, it’s more than quite alright.

      As Eddie Muller would say, ‘stay out of the shadows’.

      “The collective sign of relief heaved on V-J Day ought to have inspired Hollywood to release a flood of “happily ever after” films. But some victors didn’t feel too good about their spoils. They’d seen too much by then. Too much warfare, too much poverty, too much greed, all in the service of rapacious progress. A bundle of unfinished business lingered from the Depression — nagging questions about ingrained venality, mean human nature, and the way unchecked urban growth threw society dangerously out of whack. Writers and directors responded by delivering gritty, bitter dramas that slapped our romantic illusions in the face and put the boot to the throat of the smug bourgeoisie. Still, plenty of us took it — and liked it.”

    Kelly Loeffler’s husband is the chairman of the CCP-led New York Stock Exchange. In late December of 2019, when news of the China virus was known by the CCP, but not yet disseminated to us plebs, Loeffler sold 25 stocks, buying only 2, one of which was an at-home technology company start-up.

    Loeffler, at the Joint Session re-start, announced her reversal of support for vote auditing. (Her “support” for Trump lasted about 20 hours.) Of course, the “riot” didn’t change a single fact of the steal, but that’s all the excuse a time’s fly, a cap-and-knee slave, a passing and deflecting sun flicker like Loeffler needed.

    Here’s how I think this denouement may play out.

    1) Impeachment Articles are issued in the House, possibly today
    2) Trump will be informed by the likes of Lindsey Graham that his smarter move is to resign in order to avoid the humiliation of having the senate vote 93 to 7 to convict him
    3) A deal will struck with the Dems whereby he may resign in favor of Pence
    4) Pence will dispense a pardon for Trump & all family & close enablers
    5) Trump must agree to STFU from now on.

    The key flaw in the strategy is 2). I suspect he simply couldn’t face the humiliation and won’t be able to find the intestinal fortitude to go quietly and let the country start some sort of healing process.

    • benr January 7, 2021 at 3:44 pm #

        Like I said, “some sort of…”.

        What you’re saying is that you, being one of the ‘half the country’ that believes the Trumpian narrative, simply won’t countenance the fact that without some level of reconciliation, and WANT the place to descend into chaos.

        A couple of things – I very much doubt that “half the country is convinced the election was wracked with fraud”. It is, unfortunately, a sizeable percentage but it sure isn’t ‘half’.

        Even those GOP Reps & Senators who signed on don’t actually believe it either. At best, they’ve – mistakenly, I would say – believed there would be electoral leverage for them in their future endeavors to win election (or re-election) or, at worst, they’re cowards who ran to ‘bunkers’ when “their people” bust in. What were they afraid of? Why didn’t they stay in their Chambers and welcome these great patriotic heroes?

          “I very much doubt that “half the country is convinced the election was wracked with fraud”. It is, unfortunately, a sizeable percentage but it sure isn’t ‘half’.” –Redneck Liberal

          Wrong. Over a month ago, multiple polls — including even one Vox countenanced — revealed that almost half the voting population thought the fix was in, which increased to a half just before Xmas.

          • Redneck Liberal January 7, 2021 at 7:50 pm #

            The VOX poll article – as I read it, it settles on 44% of ‘all likely voters’ say the ‘allegations …have made them question Joe Biden’s victory”. That’s way less than ‘half the country’.

            “President Donald Trump’s unfounded allegations of voter fraud and unwillingness to concede the election are seriously affecting how some Republicans are interpreting the results.

            According to a new survey from Vox and Data for Progress, 73 percent of likely Republican voters say that the allegations of voter fraud have made them question Joe Biden’s victory, a statement that 44 percent of all likely voters agreed with as well. Similarly, 75 percent of likely Republican voters said they believed voter fraud took place during the election that benefitted Biden, something that 43 percent of likely voters overall also stated.

            44% is “way less” than half? I guess we have different definitions of “way less”.

            Also, the VOX article — you can see the date directly in the link — was published Nov 18 which, again, corroborates what I said: “over a month ago.” Since then, it’s ticked upward.

            Also, it’s “all likely voters”, to quote both you and I, not “half the country”.

            Not sure why you’re trying to twist percentages and numbers which, by definition, aren’t ambiguous.

    Trump calls for a peaceful transition. Horrible, but I guess there’s too much heat to do otherwise, but the stage has been set. Total resistance is all that’s left for now. Big time resistance, this time at the inauguration. Put the fear of God into the evil Biden.

    Let’s face it, everyone. The republic is getting gone; that is, it’s still here but dissipating fast. It’s not Trump’s fault, not even the opposition’s. It’s the general public’s. Putting up with the shit that’s been happening this year is mind-blowing to me. There’s been no significant civic disobedience in response to the rioting on the left this year.

    If the dems go after Trump for impeachment, or invoking the 25th, that would be very stupid of them. The man has said he’s going quietly. If action is taken right now, with his reputation in tatters (unjustifiably), he’s got nothing to lose by taking drastic presidential action in his term’s final days. I know I would. Even if these actions somehow fail, there will be unrest. He obviously doesn’t want strife – just to get away from all this – so if he’s facing repercussions and angst anyway, why not go balls to the wall?

    In addition, the public won’t forget the overall meanness of the dems and remonstrate in the only way they are willing – at the ballot box in 2 years. They also won’t forget the the election voting controversy, so public unrest will occur. That’s all based on whether there is even a republic then.

      This year I have personally experienced the differences between how the radical and the more conservative people act. The radicals have been much more intolerant. I don’t often state my social and political outlook, but when I do, the liberals get very angry with me.

      The very few conservatives I know personally (remember I live in Massachusetts) may disagree with something I say, but they are polite about it, and I feel I can talk to them without any hassles – just a statement of disagreement. With liberals it isn’t even worth it to try for discourse. I don’t appreciate the yelling,name-calling and insulting comments – just like the antipodians here. How did they get so hateful?

      I’m feeling increasingly alienated from the people here. I don’t want to deal with the idiocy anymore. I can’t move because of my business and all of my loved ones – they all live in Massachusetts. Also, my wife and I are old, and relocating would be difficult, especially for her.

      I just got a very sweet Christmas thank you card from my granddaughters and their parents. That alone makes putting up with all the shit worthwhile.

If action is taken right now, with his reputation in tatters (unjustifiably), he’s got nothing to lose by taking drastic presidential action in his term’s final days.”

      As I said upthread, I agree entirely. Even though there are very large numbers who are extremely angry that Biden has won, and on the other side, people are extremely angry the Capitol was stormed, it would seem to me there needs to be SOME effort to have a peaceful end to the Trump presidency.

      Not just ceremonial bulldust to paper over the cracks of a very fraught election, like everything is normal, but a genuine effort to get something – anything – back on the rails. Biden’s people need to be in deep conversation with Trump’s people to settle this.

      Impeachment, 25th Amendment, prosecutions, etc, are not the best strategy, whatever the immediate temptation. Put the caps back on the cans of gasoline. And I agree the Dems need to think through what works best for the 2022 Mid-Term elections.

    Looks like JHK really missed the mark this time. Except for the fourth paragraph virtually the entire post was wrong. We’re going to complete the circle of literary life back to the “Geography of Nowhere”. I’m OK with it, and I hope that JHK is too. He was much more astute, interesting and amusing in that corner of social commentary. Conspiracy theory churning has become a very crowded market now and has not brought us to anything helpful or useful. Trashing the capital on behalf of Disgusting Don was a somewhat predictable end to all this. JHK, how about returning to the energy markets or the recent stampede back to suburbia? Please?

      Once the horrific trump is shown the door at 1600 all this idiocy we call ‘trumpism’ will fade away very quickly. It has not ideas, no philosophical care – nothing but rabid nitwits trying to scratch an itch they are far too dull to even identify.

          MrMango, Clusterfuck changed almost immediately after Trump was elected, and it’s been this way for the last four years. I was on this blog for many years prior to that, and noticed quickly how profound the change was. That went right along with JHK’s change in his postings. I was one of his greatest admirers, and recommended him to everyone I knew because of the insights he had, and the intellectual conversations that his postings inspired. Now, it’s politics, and right wing politics at that, ad nauseum.

          This blog bears almost zero comparison to those “golden years”, and I mourn that loss. I stay on here more out of nostalgia than anything else, along with the forlorn hope that maybe it will get back to what it used to be. It makes me sad at having to write this. It used to be one of the high points of my week, reading his new postings, and people’s responses. I still won’t badmouth JHK, because of the backlog of respect I built up for him over the years. This is a right wing blog now, but I hold out hope that it will evolve again.

            Then again, my transition from left-center to right began around Obama’s second year in office (whom I voted for…the first time), so maybe the shift was more natural for me given those personal circumstances.

            Either way, I do tire of people posting how they lament such a shift over the years. It is natural to change your world view and focus as time passes. No?

            Does any major (or minor) news/commentary outlet quite closely resemble just what they did 15 years ago? Anywhere?

            I agree that times change. I recall that after things went in the toilet in 2008, I wondered if the financial situation would propel us towards fascism like it did in the 30’s. Obama was elected, & I figured I guessed wrong, but look at where we’re headed.

            New times require new views. As I realized that Obama wasn’t gonna send any of those pricks to prison, you know, the corporate heads, I realized that both parties were finally bought and paid for by the big money in Wash. As a result, I no longer consider myself a Democrat. The only reason I voted for Biden was because I consider him less dangerous than Trump. Biden’s a crook, but he can be bought with money. Trump is a megalomaniac, and therefore more dangerous. I held my nose (hard), and voted for Biden, but I still don’t like him.

            The Captain was posting Max Boot articles and quotes from Bloody Bill Kristalnacht not long ago.

            Let us not forget he was also an advocate for and peddler of the worst of RussiaGate tinfoil.

            Now that he thinks he is going to be satiated, he pretends to be straight.

            LOL.

        Capt, did you follow JHK’s tracking of Peak Oil back in the 00’s? There was amazing tension in the global energy markets then and this blog led to some fascinating insight. I made a few bucks on those learnings. Fracking shook things up, but probably only temporarily. It is a money pit. Will the oil industry in the US be bailed out before consumption returns? If not, will the price of oil go back to $100+/bbl? This is real and relevant stuff that will change our lives a lot more than the contents of Hunter’s laptop. The collapse of coal will finish off the miners, but will also seriously hurt the railroad industry. This stuff is more pressing and quantifiable than Antifa paranoia. JHK has some chops here. Hope he uses them!

      I am looking forward to a time when we can move on from the Golden Golum of Grift. The spell was broken yesterday. Many people woke up this morning with a veil lifted from their eyes. It is a step in the right direction.

    To my surprise, THIS hasn’t been promoted here…why not?

    I’m fascinated (but not surprised) to learn that these ‘5G Warriors’ have been buying fake Faraday Cages in which to house their wifi routers.

    Available on Amazon (where else?) for a measly $69.
    https://www.amazon.com/WiFi-Router-Guard-Large-Blocks/dp/B01IJD22YG

    However, while it certainly will exclude 5G radiation, it, unfortunately, also excludes all wifi frequencies, rendering it somewhat…umm…useless?

    A riot is the language of the unheard – Martin Luther King

    That doesn’t apply to Whites.

    Why not?

    Cuz you’re not human. It only applies to People of Color, in other words, real people.

    What about White Liberals?

    They’re our slaves.

    I think we have found a point of agreement.

    Donald Trump seems to have pissed off Mike Pence. How much is the question.

    If Trump were to resign on Jan 19 – in order to get a guaranteed pardon from the VP – could or would he trust him to deliver? Does Mike Pence believe his political future has to include giving or denying DJT a pardon?

    Trump’s alternative could be to “force” Mike Pence to resign on Jan 18, and put his daughter in as VP, then resign himself, and then get a pardon from the new President Ivanka on Jan 19.

    I don’t know whether that is at all likely, but a self-pardon by Donald Trump would seem to be hugely fraught legally … it would be a big risk for him to take … there are a lot of powerful people after his butt.

    The other option of course, is that absolutely no-one – Senate, House, or anywhere else where it matters – will give a flying fuck about what Donald Trump thinks about anything from now on. Why should they?

    Nothing like yesterday’s newspaper being this stale. It’s possible that it’s all over. He’ll go play golf in Scotland.

      According to Flynn two days ago, a second Trump term is a 10 out of 10 on the probability scale.

      He has not conceded. We just witnessed the greatest crime in US political history, and most of the enablers and executors are sitting in the Capitol or Kalorama.

      It ain’t over till it’s over.

      • Tekapo January 8, 2021 at 4:47 am #

        “According to Flynn two days ago, a second Trump term is a 10 out of 10 on the probability scale.”

        Honestly, and with the greatest respect, nobody who matters could now give two fucks about what Flynn thinks about anything at all. It’s all over … Trump should be thankful if he gets out of this with his ass intact.

        “We just witnessed the greatest crime in US political history, and most of the enablers and executors are sitting in the Capitol or Kalorama.”

        No – they are Trump supporters. There is no doubt about it … and it was the second-greatest political mistake he made.

        His biggest mistake of course was not to take ;leadership on fighting the pandemic … no doubt it cost him the election.

        • Night Owl January 8, 2021 at 7:30 am #

          The Antifa folks involved were caught on video freely available on Twitter.

          You are a media agent.

          And a low-IQ one at that.

          LOL.

            It makes no difference if thousands of Antifa were photographed. The media will cover it up. The Left owns the media and thus this country now.

            If the initial stuff they are working on happens, Amerika rises and the Uniparty takes over.

            Trying to protest this takeover is a badge of honor for these Patriots.

            LOL indeed. It seems your capacity to engage in genuine discussion is limited to personal abuse of others.

            You saw something on Twitter … LOL it must be true then!

            This was a riot by Trump’s Duck Dynasty trailer-park bad-ass Walmart lowlifes. They couldn’t even hold down a job at Four Seasons Total Landscaping.

            Trump doesn’t need that type of supporters.

    I am sick and tired of being sick and tired of hearing about decorum, dignity, hallowed halls, sacred chambers, our precious democracy, and whatever other conartist manufactured fake scam sentiments barfed up from these sociopaths and psychopaths in positions of fake paid for bought off power. All this quaint talk about rules and regs and getting back to normal and whatever is total bullshit. January 6 was a day that the peasants found out that there is no such thing as a “Peoples House”. No absolutely not. It is a House of Self Serving Traitors and Cowards.

    What a fucking brilliant spectacle for a clueless class of uber rich parasitic leeches. While Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed peaceful protestor, was murdered and martyred in cold blood those frilly decorum loving faggot cowards were huddled beneath benches and desks with expressions of abject terror.

    I thought the Viking was a nice and wholesome addition to an otherwise unholy Temple of Thieves. I personally wish there were a million more. These mostly peaceful protestors were very very tame given that the election was criminally and treasonously stolen.

    Here is a clue for the ultra privileged fucktards who clearly “misremembered” their summertime slogans and mantras. The politics of callous coercion and deprivation NATURALLY leads to mobs and riots. Your pyrrhic and fraudulent victory is your ultimate oblivion.

      The Capitol has not been the people’s house for quite some time.

      This video confirms there was a set-up underway: Capitol coppers waving protesters in in droves. The Antifa contingent gave the media the optics they needed.

      https://twitter.com/bumbera_steven/status/1347270969988173825

      That executive order better kick into gear before the 20th; the heads of the hydra are all in one spot as we speak.

      Time to act or this country is truly finished.

      Woo, SSL erupts.

      Your expression belongs to 73 millions folks in the US.

      This AM so far.

      DC mayor calls for statehood.

      Working on the SC.

      Not even the 20th, the corruption of the Constitution begins.

      BTW, all you RINOs are going to pay the price for your betrayal of the Trumpers.

      You are men without a country.

      All you Libs and your unity, impeach impeach 25th amendment. You as a group are the biggest hypocrites in history. Cannot even let the man try to leave with a little dignity.

      You crapped on him at his inauguration, I hope there is enough pride left on the conservative side to return the favor.

      In a return statement,

      Joseph Biden will never be my president, ever.

    There is one chance to get this right. A long and arduous road traversed to arrive at this point. Lots of fear evident in people who call for 25th Amendment to remove DJT, impeach him… ?? For what? The man has not conceded. He has a duty to protect the Republic.

    Article IV, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every state in this Union a Republican Form of Government. and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature. or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

    “A whole lot of people are converging in the nation’s capital at midweek, maybe even the touted million. It is a moment, possibly, not unlike the Bastille in Paris, 1789. They will be clamoring right outside Congress as the electoral vote ceremony proceeds. If the battle is not joined in the chamber, it’s a little hard to believe the crowd will just heave a million sighs, trudge back to their cars, and drive quietly home.”

    This is literally the first time I have read a JHK prediction that came true. This was a fairly low bar, considering that it had been all over the internet as to what the intentions were of the mob and their organizers and that the usual security was stood down ie: Wash NG only on traffic duty.
    Way to go Jim. Someday those Hampton mansions will burn too.
