Just STOP WITH THE HANDWRINGING (Larry Schweikart)
LS's Twitter Account ^ | 9/27/2020 | By Larry Schweikart

  1. Ok folks. Another upbraiding. And I say this in love.

  2. STOP THE "MUH FRAUD" HANDWRINGING.

  3. I get the news about Bull Durham, which I told you for two years was coming (i.e., nothing). This is life.

    No one is going to indict 60 sitting senators or 300 House members.

  4. I would never want to be in a foxhole with some of you.

    King Leonidas: "100,000 Persians? We can take 'em."

    Some of you: 5,000 mail-in votes? WE'RE DOOMED!

  5. So listen to me and listen good:

    WE.
    ARE.
    WINNING.


  6. We are winning so huge that the DemoKKKrats have literally resorted to civil war. That's how big we're winning.

  7. Yeah, they'll have a few fraudulent ballots. But how do we know that?

  8. Cuz we're FINDING AND CATCHING these right and left.

    I would be very concerned if we were NOT finding fraudulent ballots, cuz that would mean they were getting away with it.

  9. In just over 30 days we will have something none of us ever dreamed, a 6-3 conservative Supreme Court.

  10. On Nov. 3, President Trump will be overwhelmingly reelected---no, not a "landslide" cuz you can't have that without NY, CA, IL, etc.

  11. But it will be low- to mid-300s electoral votes and, I think, a popular vote margin of 5 million.

    Again, I base this on a student shortfall of 1 to 1.5m DemoKKKrat votes; a black shift of 2-3m votes; and another half mil or so party switchers.

  12. Everyone is looking for fraud. Rs have "fraud squads" out. This is really important because the more the DemoKKKrats vote by mail (VBM) the more of their crap ballots will be tossed.

  13. BUT . . .Right now DemoKKKrats are BEHIND their 2016 numbers in NC by 20%, while Rs are up 2%; DemoKKKrats' early vote lead in FL is shrinking daily. If they don't come out of FL with just a massive (around 300,000) VBM lead or early vote lead? Trump will win by 200,000.

  14. Everywhere you see that DemoKKKrats are "requesting absentee/VBM ballots at a record pace,"

    REJOICE!

  15. They are massively cannibalizing their election day (ED) voting and can never get that back.

  16. It's so bad the official mouthpiece of the DemoKKKrat Party, "Axios," wrote a piece warning that the Ds were shifting their strategy to ED cause VBM wasn't working out like they thought.

  17. OOPS. Too late. They have already terrified the oldsters with the China Virus.

  18. This is huge: by locking down the states (esp. in places like OH) and closing churches, the DemoKKKrat early vote advantage is slashed because there will be no "souls to the polls." Trust me, this was really effective at getting DemoKKKrat early votes.

  19. Registration trends in FL, NC, PA, AZ, NM, NV are through the roof for Rs.

    Way, way beyond my most optimistic projections.

    FL may end up on election day being a D lead of under 150,000.

    They had almost a million lead in 2012.

  20. In conclusion, just STOP WITH THE HANDWRINGING.

    We are winning on every front. Even the House gets closer by the day (we're within 8 or so now).

  21. Give praise and rejoice. "God has not given us the spirit of fear . . . ." So FEAR NOT.

I limit the number of vids I watch. Not enough time. What is your point and what does she say?

She is exposing a global Marxist activist group called "Sunrise" that recruits children for a "Young Pioneers" brainwashing.   It seems like a red diaper training club.   She has video "Zoom" organizational meetings with the children's faces pixelated and the adults giving them their marching orders.   Millennial Millie Weaver even includes a clip where twenty or so "Sunrise" members are confronting and browbeating Dianne Feinstein in the hall outside her office for not being leftist enough.

Patriots need to support PDJT by electing as many new federal and state patriot lawmakers as they can who will promise to fully support Trump’s already excellent work for MAGA.

I don’t see any problem with voting Republican ticket for 2020 elections.

Insights welcome.

Republicans did not turn out in 2016, especially urban ones per my model from back then. They turned out at maybe 90%-95% rate.

Lower Black turnout, as well as flipping white union and rural folks, carried Trump to victory.

i checked your posting history and noticed that you’re a thinly disguised anti-trump troll who specializes in “concern” posts and otherwise are nothing but a nattering nabob of negativism ... NEVER anything constructive or positive to say here ... it’d be nice if you just went away ... FR would be a much nicer place without you ...

The left totally miscalculated weaponizing BLM and Antifa. Americans do NOT want this in their towns and understand this is what will happen if the Democrats get back in power.

Dems were pushing 'chaos under Trump' but citizens saw the truth: chaos under democrat mayors in Democrat states... Big Mistake...total miscalculation.

I know 1 who will never vote Dem again. Hated Trump in 2016. Will now vote for him and straight Republican. 1 Hillary voter not going to vote for president. She still dislikes Trump, but will probably vote the rest Republican this year, if she votes at all. So a 1.5 vote swing to Trump.

Larry’s a busy guy.

Larr, I got the gist of what chick was saying. She proves that there are groups that give tactical and strategic training on how to subvert and overthrow the United States.

Frankly, it’s nothing I didn’t know before, and probably nothing you didn’t know before.

Yes, there are professional, militarily-organized subversive groups in the Democrat party and aligned with it. Big woop. We knew this.

About the only takeaway from this knowledge is that President Donald Trump, when re-elected, will need to go all Augustus Pinochet on a few motherhuggers.

In just over 30 days we will have something none of us ever dreamed, a 6-3 conservative Supreme Court.
Has Larry been paying attention to Roberts? I'll take a solid 5-4 though. Bring on the 2A cases.
Yes, but Thomas will retire some day, and . . .

Thomas is the best person on the court. We need Barrett to replace him.

Roberts is the median justice, like Kennedy was after O’Connor retired - always with the winning side, in 5-4 votes defining the winning side.

And as Chief Justice he gets to decide who writes the opinion for any majority of which he is a part. He wants to be in the majority, and he prefers more unanimity than 5-4 decisions imply. Put Barrett on the court, and Roberts’ position changes. If originalists have 5 reliable votes, his default will be to go along with them, and use his position to soften the opinion with his choice of opinion author, or even by writing the opinion himself.

It does give him preeminence, but not the preponderance he enjoyed before RBG left the court. He can only steer the opinion to the median of the court, and if the fifth justice is more conservative than he likes, he has to either go along with him (presuming it won’t be Barrett) or let the majority select its own opinion author by joining the minority.

As to what precedent is in the most pressing need for reversal, there is Wade of course - but IMHO New York Times Co. v. Sullivan is also crucial. And if possible, overturning it would be a heavier lift than overturning Roe. Sullivan is an even older (1964) Warren Court decision, and it was unanimous with enthusiastic concurrences.

Sullivan is IMHO the linchpin of “the media” in its present, ever-more-tendentious form. By preventing Republican politicians from suing for libel (Democrats never need to), Sullivan allows wire service journalism (that is, ideologically homogenous journalism) to detach itself from reality. Thus, overturning Sullivan definitely requires 5 solid originalist justices - probably 6 of them - plus concurrence by Roberts.

Thomas currently advocates for a review of Sullivan, and Scalia also did. Scalia’s explanation is that Sullivan stands or falls on its assertion that

". . . libel can claim no talismanic immunity from constitutional limitations. It must be measured by standards that satisfy the First Amendment”
. . . and yet the claim that 1A touches libel law at all was novel in 1964. For the very good reason that the Federalists who wrote 1A and got it ratified were, provably, not trying to change anyones rights. At all.

And you know the history: the Federalists didn’t include a bill of rights in the Constitution, but were forced by opponents of their greatest desire - replacement of the Articles of Confederation with the Constitution - to promise a bill of rights by amendment. But as the Federalsts knew, attempting a comprehensive enumeration of rights which came down in history as an inchoate conglomeration of court precedents - was a fool’s errand. So in fact they didn’t even seriously attempt it. What they did was pass the first eight amendments, which enumerate rights which had historically been abused by tyrants - and then to pass both

Amendment 9
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
and
Amendment 10
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

But notice the wording of the First Amendment: 1A does not refer simply to “freedom of the press” but to “the freedom of the press.” Scalia noted that freedom of the existed at the time of the composition of the Constitution - and so did the right to sue for compensation for libel.

Had the First Amendment referred to " freedom of the press” in the abstract, it would arguably have extinguished both the right of the people to sue for libel and the rights of governments to enforce anti pornography laws. And that would have been controversial - could have been the poison pill which would have subverted the entire Bill of Rights project to solidify consensus around the new Constitution. Instead 1A refers to “the” freedom - freedom within limits - of the press as traditionally understood.

The conclusion, Scalia asserted, is that the First Amendment was crafted to not touch the law of libel. And given the Christian cultural milieu in which the Federalists were immersed,

The conceit that “this is not a Christian nation” flies in the face of
Article I Section 7: If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law.
. . . which might be said to treat every Sunday (not the Jewish Sabbath but the Christian “first day of the week”) as a holiday.
allowing the violation of the Ninth Commandment
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. Exod 20: 16
on an industrial scale - libel - would have been an extremely heavy lift even had they wished (a fact not in evidence) to undertake it.

No originalist can have any respect for Sullivan as good precedent.

from link:

Just before leaving office in 2017, Barack Obama commuted the sentence of Bradley Manning (you may also know him as Chelsea), who leaked hundreds of thousands of sensitive government documents to WikiLeaks. A traitor in every sense, in 2013 Manning was convicted and sentenced to 35 years in prison. But, Bradley Manning became a hero of the political left for declaring himself to be transgender, and Obama made his controversial commutation literally just days before leaving office. Manning maintains hero status amongst the left today.

Obama also commuted the sentence of convicted terrorist Oscar Lopez Rivera, the leader of the Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional Puertorriqueña (FALN), a Puerto Rican terrorist group. FALN was responsible for 130 attacks in the United States, and at least six deaths.

Very well stated. I agree about Sullivan and you present the issue very well.

Where will we find someone to fill Thomas’s shoes?

Thanks
