In 1776 56 brave patriots signed their names at the bottom of the Declaration of Independence; a document that spelled out the specifics as to why the 13 colonies were making a break with England and King George.
Signing that document was treason against the British and every single man, some with names you know, Benjamin Franklin, Sam Adams and of course John Hancock, and some you may not such as Thomas McKean, Button Gwinnett and Arthur Middleton, risked literal life, limb and property by doing so. Had the British prevailed, they very well may have ended their days in front of a firing squad or at the end of a hangman’s noose. Yet still they signed.
The interesting thing is, only about a quarter of the population actively supported the break with England at the time the Declaration was signed. Another quarter, largely those whose fortunes benefited greatly from the connection with England (which some signers did themselves) wanted to remain part of the Empire, while fully half the population were what we’d call today “undecided”.
The reality is, leaders do what these men and others did… they led, they fought, and they went home and convinced their fellow citizens about the righteousness of their cause and inspired others to join the fight. And in the end, they prevailed, and in doing so they set forth a path that changed the course of human history, much for the better.
Today America finds itself in a place not so different from that which the thirteen colonies faced 246 years ago. While the thirteen disjointed colonies faced the greatest empire the world had ever known, patriots today face the greatest propaganda machine in human history: The Democrat / Media / Tech Industrial Complex.
There are two big differences however. The first is that the thirteen colonies had the benefit of 54 men who were willing to stand up and challenge the King and Parliament in order to do what they knew to be right. Today patriots find a largely barren wasteland of leaders who are willing to stand up as the Democrats and their cabal seek to steal an election in broad daylight.
The other difference is that in 1776 war was the last option available to the patriots. In 2020 patriots still have one last option before something drastic… and the odds of it succeeding are as slim as those faced by the thirteen tiny colonies taking on the most powerful empire in the world.
As the Hill detailed earlier in the week, there is a Constitutional tactic through which the Republic can be saved… and make no mistake, that is exactly what is at stake here.
The tactic involves senators and representatives using the procedures outlined in the Constitution and the Electoral Count Act (ECA) to delay the acceptance of the electors to a point where the House would then choose the President, with each state having a single vote. Given that Republicans control a majority of the state delegations Donald Trump would be declared the winner.
This would be a long and arduous process, something like Jimmy Stewart’s character in “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” spending a month reading scripture. No doubt the patriots who choose this path will be tarred and feathered in the press, have their families doxed on social media, and very likely be thrown under the bus by Mitch McConnell and other “leaders” in their own party. In a word, for a while their lives would be made miserable for the crime of standing up to those who would steal the election from the American people.
That’s what real leaders do. That is what real patriots do.

As a Vet I don’t give a crap but I DID!
Why does Mitch McConnell keep getting re-elected?
The votes aren't there.
Nobody is 100% of course, but sadly, all of the dems and most of the GOP is well under 50%.
This is a Christmas week. Our great wonderful and fearless leader Donald J Trump is a devout Christian and will respect this holy week and allow families to gather together and celebrate the birth of Christ
Next week is New Year’s week and I think we can expect serious fireworks and some unexpected things to happen
First of all I do not think that the Supreme Court can deny the lawsuits in front of it now there’s no “standing “ issue to try to deny them
Furthermore we have the proof out of Michigan that the smart Mattick Dominion voting crooked machines are indeed what they are and it’s been proven now by IT experts and we have the standoff in both Michigan and Arizona where the Democrats will not allow the republican legislators to see the machines - this cannot stand!
We’ve now had clear proof that the Democrats stole the election by many margins of 10 higher than the vote count needed to overturn it in all the critical states
So what is the media going to do for this week and next week?
In short all they can do is speculate on wild boar crap that they think Trump is going to do or defend the indefensible the corrupt fraudulent election
I am of the firm belief that something big is going to go down way before January 6
The writing maybe on the wall but we keep ignoring it, forgetting that history has an uncanny habit of repeating itself!
Most people don’t realize that their real enemy resides in Washington and not China or Russia as corruption, deceit and hypocrisy will destroy a country far quicker than any potential enemy could. Unfortunately this enemy is being kept alive by by its constituency as it is a reflection of the people voting for it. Politicians can be changed at each election cycle, but the mindset of the public which created them and continues to do so has been in the making for decades and for humans, being creatures of habits; changes of such mindset will not come about unless it seriously affects their pocketbooks or their life’s. And I have a feeling that this life or mind changing event is not too far off in the future.

Wow.
Kentucky corn liquor (Burbon).
No.
I am pretty confident that when Biden is sworn in, there will be cheers and high fives in the offices of many a GOP Senator. Not all. But in a lot of them.
The gravy train will be turned back on and its business as usual.
I think that the Hunter Biden crap is the tip of the ice berg and the reason no one wants to deal with it....is because of the other names it leads to.
The mistake—in their eyes—is putting a drug addict moron in charge of their graft system. The rest of the Senate is smart enough to use bag men who understand the need for secrecy.
So, yeah...as it gets closer to inauguration day, more and more GOP politicians will be more open about their disdain for Trump.
Sour mash?
Only AFTER that, would there be a 1 vote per state decision in the house.
Who thinks 51 Senators and 218 Reps will vote in favor of tossing biden electors?

Politicians aren’t going to change this. The fact that you are already thinking about which politician is going to fix things in 4 years shows that you haven’t learned a thing. Here’s to hoping the turnout is 15% from here on out.
