The People’s Continuing Duties to President Trump - The MAGA movement must not retreat hoping that President Trump can do it alone.

I agree, this is no time to relax. We need to be especially watchful to keep our congress critters from sliding into RINO laziness.

The only reason those critters are there, especially the Senators, is to keep their noses on the trough.

First, we need to ensure Trump is safe from murder.

Second, we need to identify those opposing Trump’s nominees (Cornyn) and coordinate with Musk to primary them out

Third, we need to be the voice of reason online when the media/left scream about some action, like deportation. Use X and other platforms to ensure theirs is not the only message.

BUMP

I agree.

If our attempt to get our RINO sentators to get in line over the secret leadership vote is an indication.

We're not going to go quietly into this good night without one hell of a fight.

This is a timely and important work by Flynn. And thank you for posting it. WE need to get off our butts and become proactive and put pressure on congress to get this right. WE have to do the work and Trump will back us. Did anyone know that WE have people power in congress through petition? Time to be proactive hold them to the fire. WE can only blame ourselves for not taking advantage of this opportunity..

"A bill is a proposal for a new law or a change to an existing law. The idea for a bill can come from a sitting member of the U.S. Senate or House of Representatives or be proposed during their election campaign. Bills can also be petitioned by people or citizen groups who recommend a new or amended law to a member of Congress that represents them.

Important General Michael Flynn PING

In the days following President Trump’s massive electoral victory I have been in touch with hundreds of Americans who have asked me some variant of the simple question, “what now?”

We have responsibilities as Americans to support this man, Donald J. Trump, who has done so much for us including, literally, facing death. Each of the main points below I want to convey all seem to start with the letter “P” for our nation’s 45th and 47th President.

Praise. Before moving forward, we need to look up and offer genuine praise to God for having spared America from four more years of corrupt and immoral leadership. Many reasons can help us understand why President Trump won the election, including his amazing love for our country, but the most significant reason is set out in the Book of Job:

“He makes nations great, [then] destroys them.” (Job 12:23). With the power to raise and destroy, God has seen fit to give our nation a reprieve from the efforts by Globalists to weaken and undermine the spirit of Americans. For this, our Lord deserves the Praise of His People.

God most definitely had his hand on President-elect Trump and his family, especially Don Jr., Eric, Melania and Barron, as well as his robust campaign team. Our nation will be eternally grateful for the love they have offered and the sacrifices they’ve endured.

Protection. There have already been two well-known attempts on the life of President Trump, and likely far more off the record. These assassination attempts require extraordinary scrutiny by people detached from federal law enforcement. Until that is done, the President needs to supplement Secret Service protection with persons whose skill set includes knowing how to protect a public figure. Additionally, we need to Pray for God’s protection of President Trump.

Personnel. As the transition progresses, a small army of men and women must be hand-picked to help implement the President’s agenda. It has been correctly said that, “personnel is policy.” If responsibility is given to those who came from the RINO-riddled swamp, we can expect them to resist every effort to return power back to We The People. In the first Trump Administration, there were many, both military and civilian, who betrayed the trust they were given, and it is critical that this type of treasonous behavior is dealt with immediately.

I am often asked if we want leaders who are technically competent, or those with proven America First values. To be clear, candidates should NOT be under consideration if they aren’t prepared to take an America First stance. The People elected the anti-Swamp candidate. The MAGA movement has an abundance of talent, and we cannot compromise by selecting people who were credentialed by having served under the likes of a Dick Cheney. Actually, we should be in the process of credentialing a new generation of young leaders to form our own team.

Promises. When President Reagan entered office, he delegated to one man, Martin Anderson, the responsibility to ensure that his Administration officials implemented and held in the highest regard the promises made by President Reagan while campaigning. On bookcases behind his desk, he maintained notebooks containing those promises on every topic to ensure they were kept by his appointees. If we want all citizens of our country to ever again entrust the MAGA movement with power, it must be based on demonstrated integrity. We cannot allow anyone in the Trump Administration to feel empowered enough to betray the promises on which the President was elected... < SNIP >

Excellent article.

Thanks for posting it.

I agree, this is no time to relax.

That's right because the Swamp never sleeps.

Thanks for Gen.Flynn’s message.

The only reason those critters are there, especially the Senators, is to keep their noses on the trough. = Term limits for all public office, including judges. No more lifetime appointments.

So, what about the current state of the Senate, less than a week after Mitch’s boy Thooon being put in charge?

Chuck Schumer Asks Republicans Not to End Filibuster and Continue Power of Minority – Republicans Say Meh, Okay

November 16, 2024 | Sundance

It has come to my attention that most of MAGA, specifically those who do not understand the history of Republicans in the Senate, support a return to Senatorial and Parliamentary norms, where 60 votes are needed in order to advance any legislative intent. [READ HERE]

Stupid is, as stupid does.

Prior to the 2024 election, Democrat Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, promised to end the filibuster rule and change the Senate to a simple ‘majority rules’ body. However, in the aftermath of the 2024 election outcome, where Democrats are now in the minority, Chuck Schumer has a reversal of prior opinion and is requesting the Republican leadership to retain the filibuster rule – giving power to the Democrats who now hold minority position.

Into this mix of UniParty and DeceptiCon political constructs, the online MAGA community are now advocating for a return to old Senatorial rules where amendments can be offered to all bills proposed and the 60-vote threshold is retained for cloture, filibuster power and legislative passage.

Despite knowing Majority Leader Schumer was going to crush them, Senator Rick Scott, Senator John Cornyn and yes, now, Majority Leader John Thune, are taking the high road and promising to keep the power of the Democrat minority in place. A more apropos example of “Battered Conservative Syndrome” has never been so clear.

WASHINGTON DC – […] “The short version of that is: Please don’t do to us what we were going to do to you. Schumer is obviously concerned that Republicans might embrace a scheme to eliminate the filibuster and pass all sorts of consequential legislation with no Democratic input at all. That wouldn’t be bipartisan! Fortunately for Schumer, Republicans have been more principled than Democrats when it comes to the legislative filibuster, and to the filibuster in general. Republicans realize that even though they will have the majority for the next two years, they might be back in the minority at any time after that. So, Schumer will not get it good and hard the way he planned to give it to Republicans.” (more)

This is exactly how ‘republicanism’ infects the MAGA movement, ultimately and predictably positioning the future republican voters frustrated and shouting at trees. Democrats, together with Mitch McConnell and John Thune love this, because it retains their lucrative business model.

Let me start by reminding the MAGA victims, that’s YOU, of the position of Democrats:

Apparently, the high-minded influencers within the MAGA community have seemingly forgotten about this intent.

Next, let us move to the reality of what the GOP is planning to do, and remember Scott, Cornyn and Thune all agree on this.

The return of amendments to the Senate bills brings with it retention of the filibuster and ‘cloture’ 60-vote threshold.

Taking the first part first, those amendments have a name. During the Obamcare fiasco you might remember a few of them: “The cornhusker kickback” (Nelson), “The Louisiana Purchase” (Landrieu), the “Florida Gator Aide” (Nelson). These “amendments” are purchases of Senator’s votes with sweetheart closed-door deals, they are not enhancements to the bill, they are bribes for support.

Now the second part. Presume a 55/45 split. The Majority needs to purchase votes from the minority in order to reach 60. That’s where “amendments” offer the highest price. K-Street Lobbyists pay for minority senators to support the amendment. Lots of money is made.

Mitch McConnell and Harry Reid were not in opposition to each other on the business end of this process. Their personal wealth benefitted greatly.

The high-minded MAGA Republicans are advocating for returning to, and retention of, this process.

History: After Scott Brown became #41, Leader Harry Reid had to begin purchasing votes from Mitch McConnell. However, the American public were holding the GOP feet to the fire. Eventually Reid just said, “screw it” and dropped the vote threshold for final bill passage to a simple majority, 51.

The Senate retained the 51-vote passage, with the exception of “cloture votes” or votes to close debate, along with ‘filibuster breaking thresholds’ which still needed 60. Essentially, McConnell/Reid were not stupid, they did not want to give up the business model. So, 60 cloture votes and filibuster remained.

The Cloture Votes also provided the Deceptive Conservatives, DeceptiCons, the opportunity to vote yea on cloture, then vote against the bill. Senator Ted Cruz is the #1 Republican who uses cloture voting as a mask. Cruz often votes yea on cloture (supporting the bill) and nay on the bill itself (thereby denying he ever supported it). It’s a good cover, and they all use it.

Obviously, McConnell didn’t want to be the one to change the lucrative construct of Harry Reid, so he retained the non-amendment part and the 51-vote simple majority part. Then McConnell lost the Senate, again.

However, suddenly, the GOP are back in the majority and now Rick Scott (and presumably John Cornyn) wants to give the power back to the minority. McConnell’s protege’ John Thune learned well from the knee of the master.

Leader John Thune has no issue giving the GOP power in the Senate away, adding back the lucrative process of amendments, and returning the threshold to 60 votes for bill passage. However, he had to pretend it was some astronomical exhibition of magnanimity in order to gain maximum value from the illusion of doing what he always supported.

Thune says as leader I will return to regular order, amendments, voting thresholds and the pre-Harry Reid processes. Everyone cheers.

The republicans are now in the majority and have changed the structure to add amendments and give stronger power to the minority.

THE RESULT – President Trump’s agenda will be more difficult to pass (higher threshold and stronger opposition position), but somehow MAGA cheers for Senate Majority Leader John Thune (see thread).

Battered Conservative Syndrome.

Wash-Rinse-Repeat…. Then everyone will look oddly when the base of voters throws up their arms in frustration and the Senate flips back during Trump’s 2026 midterm election.

Why should a Republican Senate majority take their foot off the gas and allow the Democrats to retain the power of the minority. They hold no similar disposition when in power.

I say, crush them.

Advance the MAGA agenda. Crush the opposition and give Republicans in 2026 a reason to go out and make the prior election even more resounding.

That’s a lot of words.

Meh. MEH!!!!

The war is not over.

We have just won the opening battle.

Now we must take out the trash.

And it is warfare.

Biden waged war on the American people, socially , economically and politically. Our country is invaded by 20 million illegals , of which about 300 thousand are convicted criminals: Murderers, pimps, pedophiles and organized gangs.
and Terrorists funded by the cartels who now control our Southern border. The military may have to be used.The US Marines have historically done this work in Mexico, they will mop up these cartels .

Tom Holman: Garbageman extraordinaire.

Very interesting.

Thank you.
