“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!

And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
1 Samuel 17:26

I got my Christmas gift early. My Oregon Ducks are the repeat champions of the Pac 12 which nobody gave a chance a week ago. Some will say they did not earn it, or it has an asterisk next to it since they were not Northern Champions, but they played by the rules and won the game fair and square for the Championship. If Washington who was the Northern Champion played instead , they would have cheated to get into the game by using Covid to duck Oregon and a potential loss of the Norther Championship game and into the big game which is the same thing Senile Joe is trying to do to steal this election.

Two weeks ago, after losing games to the Civil War to the Beavs by choaking miserably and then the same thing to Cal the season appeared to be a complete disaster as we lost seemingly won games to only give them up at the end and the season was heading to the basement. Then our biggest rival the Washington Mutts bagged out of our last chance to win with Covid making the bad situation worse. Then due to Washington Covid Quarantine the door opened slightly to give the duckies one last chance for the season and perhaps the Championship.

This is what President Trump needs to do. A win is a win and no matter how much screaming and hollering from the Three Pillars of Propaganda (Academia, Media, and the Communist Party) claim how many are disenfranchising it is for him to fight back. They organized this fraud from the beginning and most of America believe this was a cooperation with the Chinese gummit. Both of them are in a desperate situation both financially and philosophically as they are losing the American people.

When the avalanche of Trump voters became real, they both panicked and pulled out all the stops to manufacture votes in massive quantities. They stopped the count for the first time ever and hide the count.
There were truckloads of ballots as the one truck driver testified to as well as counting votes multiple times as well as the hacking of voting machines. Of course, China would hack the machines for the benefit of their candidate Cho Biden. This way if anyone is caught it does not lead back to the campaign. How many systems have they been caught hacking into so of course they would exploit the election computers?

Now the only ones standing between Trump and exposing this fraud is the GOP. The NeverTrump faction only makes up around 5% of the Republican voters yet it makes up around 75% of the GOP establishment. These elected Reps are being told by their managers and donors if they are to step up to support Trump they will never get elected again or they would be funded according to their resistance. The millions they are being offered are chump change compared to what China and the GOP are losing with Trump in the WH.

The only political group who hates Trump more than the Dems is the Repubs. He has destroyed their cozy little swamp where all the scratchy-scratchy goes on. People like Carl Rove and Georgie Will make millions inside the swamp during elections with their focus group tested cliches guaranteed to get votes and fool the easily fooled. Trump changed all that by saying what he thought rather than what you want to hear.

Now the biggest enemy of the American Party is the Republican Establishment. They see an end to trump and a reestablishment of their power. They can go back to working with the communists to negotiate the demise of America. The same thing happened to Bernie except he really is not an idealogue like Trump who generally wants to help America back on its feet which he will do once the fraud is revealed and the corrupted votes are removed.

It is time for the Deplorables to call these establishment Repubs and let them know they work for you rather than the other way around. Call and email/text every one of these traitors all day long whether they are your rep or not just bang their phones like the Dems do. It is time for the patriots work for Trump as hard as he worked for you. If you can get at least one state to find out what really happened and if need be change its votes. Once you get one you can get the rest to reveal the fraud and win this Championship, just like the Ducks won theirs.

Nobody knows how this election will finally go just like nobody thought the Ducks had a chance of winning the Pac. In the end the events fell their way and so will Trumps. Keep working and never, ever give up or concede to the Communists.

Merry Christmas and keep fighting Patriots

• Morning AB, All. As always, thank you AB for doing this thread so reliably and keeping the peace with gentle thread policing. Thank you Bray for weekly written wisdom, Thank all yon contributors for excellent commentary to flesh it all out.

• Below are the words from my daily political diary. It is quite long so scroll on by if not interested. But do stay around and add your commentary and point of view to the thread.

Yes I am compiling a Blog about the great pandemic of 2020 and how my country stupidly shut down the economy. We will have opinions, political and cultural highlights, my personal experience, social media details, even TV reviews since I watch so much TV while in my home jail. We shall, as always, end with a smile.-----------------------------
MAJOR POLITICAL EVENTS OF THE WEEK
(another update)

A Stolen Election Update

So I watched the senate hearing on 12.16.20 about the election problems in many states, especially Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada and Georgia. The Democrats proclaimed that the election was very fair and honest with winners properly announced.

There was some arguments but below is a quote from the committee chair, Senator Johnson.

Note where Johnson states that bit about whether the level of fraud would alter the outcome of the election. He then states by the certification process and the electoral college vote proves that the fraud, all documented for public view, proves the fraud did NOT affect the election outcome.

Yes my descendants, I document this for you that you may know that just because the offending states certified the election doesn't mean all that fraud didn't alter the true election outcome.

They don't know what to do about it yon descendants. The Supreme Court, the lower courts, damn, even the elected senators....they all know that more than likely the outcome of this election was changed.

But they don't know how to fix it.

Holding another election is impossible by this time. How would we know a NEW election wouldn't be altered? Much less how to fit holding a new election would fit into the nation's governance.

It's a mess.

If the senators do anything they should sit down and craft rules for federal elections that all states must follow.

MAJOR CULTURE EVENTS OF THE WEEK
(one more update)
The real reason for all the restaurant and bar shutdowns

California and New York are going nuts shutting down every restaurant, hot dog stand and candy store due to the pandemic. Also bars are included.

Even though these places are responsible for only a few cases of a caught COVID-19 incident.

Tis the time of year, yon descendants, as I write this during the Christmas holiday season of 2020....tis the time of year from now until about mid-January when all sorts of contagious diseases are shared by humans.

First, many of the viruses are still very much alive from summer into fall. Second, humans begin to congregates indoors more as the weather turns chill, added to by holiday spirit and cheer.

Come January when winter settles in, the virus dies down greatly.

I think all these closures are an attempt to keep large groups of humans from gathering in such a manner that the virus, happy and ready to be warm, spreads more rapidly than any other time of year.

Which doesn't make these governors good people. I think it's time for us to be talked to like we are adults, not babies needing Cuomo to tell us how to live.

OVER THE INTERNET
(social media explains so much)

REVIEWS TV SHOWS
(since I watch so much TV, not for my descendants)
Magnum P.I.

Thomas Magnum is a decorated former Navy SEAL who, upon returning home from Afghanistan, repurposes his military skills to become a private investigator. A charming rogue, an American hero and a die-hard Detroit Tigers fan, Magnum has Juliet Higgins and her Dobermans to keep him in line,

https://www.cbs.com/shows/magnum-pi/

I started watching this series when a very handsome Tom Sellick was the star. What I watched were mostly repeats as Sellick was the star up to the early 90's. He was formerly stationed in Afghanistan and lived with a short English gentleman who watched the Hawaiian estate where they both liived for a famous American author.

Today Magnum is played by actor Jay Hernandez and the gatekeeper of the Hawaiian estate, still called "Higgins", is played by a pretty English lass.

There is a helicopter pilot co-star and that helicopter is a permanent part of the show's storyline. There is a member of the Hawaiian police force who works with Magnum and Higgins, who sometimes joins Magnum on investigative cases.

I think that Sellick played the character better than the current guy but this new series with its changes has a female co-character and there is, or course, the love angle.

This love angle works its way surreptitiously into every show's story line.

Yeah, I'm a girl and I like this idea. Because Magnum and Higgins are often all about, shooting guns, crashing airplanes, grabbing bad guys for the Hawaiian police. Right now Higgins has a doctor who is very smitten with her. Magnum acts like he does not care and Higgins is one confused mama.

This is a good show to watch late in the evening when tired and the pandemic has beat the hell out of you.

Tom Sellick had female friends on the show but they never lasted. In this version of Magnum P.I., Higgins is always around and those two love each other, don't be fooled.

THE FLY ON THE WALL

Yes I am a fly and yes I also Blog. I tend to wander around among the politicians and hear their conversation. Because I am a fly beneficial to humanity, I share that which I hear. Bear in mind my spelling. I am, after all, only a fly.

Sorry About Missing Barr Story

Why yes this fly did hear that Federal Attorney General William Barr has resigned. In fact, I was in the room when President Trump told Barr he was fired but, sorry yon readers, did not get a chance to post all that happened until now.

Trump summoned Barr to the White House and there was much scuffling all about. I seldom get a chance to be in meetings with the President as there are many Secret Service types all about but besides, they seldom have snacks in the oval office so I don't much care. But somehow I got shut into a smaller office off of the oval office and to my luck, there was cookies and coffee served. I don't care for coffee, that being a human drink, but cookies have lots of crumbs. So I made myself invisible as only a fly can and studied my pursuit of crumbs.

Barr came in the office and took a seat, poured some coffee and ate a cookie. Ten minutes later Trump joined him. I landed on a side wall and calculated how to get crumbs and what the President wanted with this guy.

"Bill," President Trump began after taking a sip of that coke he always carried around. "I suspect you know why I called you here."

Barr leaned back in his seat, remained quiet for about ten seconds, took a sip of coffee and began to speak. "Donald you could have released information about the investigation into Hunter Biden before the election. Instead you got a member of your administration to leak it all to the NY Post. I don't believe in releasing information about the existence of an investigation if such release will affect the election. As I've told you many times before, just because someone is being investigated does not mean he or she is guilty."

"Yes you've told me that many times, Bill. But darn you had actual emails from Biden's laptop, you had plenty of proof, yet you kept it all from the American people."

With that the President took a sip of soda and took a deep breath. "As you must know, I have to let you go. I think you were wrong to withhold that information. It would not do for me to release the information, to come off as if I am betraying the Dept. of Justice. But without your department's affirmation the media would not cover it so too few voting Americans knew how Hunter Biden betrayed his country. You wanted to please your swamp friends, Bill, you know you did."

"I had every intention to continue the investigation after the election and to, eventually and as I did, release the fact that Hunter Biden was under investigation."

"Yeah," the President almost shouted, "now that Joe Biden will be the president."

"As I told you, Joe Biden won't remain in office long after this investigation."

"So we will have Kamala?"

"Look, you didn't win the election as of now so your argument has no merit. Likely Biden will be asked to step down and what happens after that....well who knows?"

President Trump took a deep breath and sat in silence for half a minutes. "Let's keep this nice and sane, Bill. You prepare a nice summary of your work with me and I shall do the same for you."

Trump leaned back and took another deep breath. "Which would not be a lie, Bill. I think you are a fair and decent man. But you seem to be torn between two demographics....me and this new look at the world I bring, and fond memories of your swamp buddies who made this world a mess. You did a great job but this bit about not telling Americans the guy running for the highest office in the world accepted billions of dollars in bribes with the help of his son.....you know I've disagreed with that logic. What would it take? Suppose Joe Biden was being investigated for killing his first wife? Would you have released that information?"

"NO. I'll say it again, just because he's being investigated doesn't mean he's guilty. And stop calling them swamp people!"

With this the two went on but this fly could see that this was two humans in conflict. Two humans who seemed to respect each other. But Trump kept saying Barr was aligned with the Swamp people and this confuses this fly. I am a fly and avoid swamps.

Why is all of D.C. one big swamp?

TIME FOR A SMILE

--------------------------------

It’s easy to tell the narrative push from the choice of guests.

Election defense (Biden won, no evidence of fraud), and ramp up the COVID fear.

Of couse the ever-present “mock Trump and anybody who supports him or his agenda.”

Other then futures not a single pro Trump guest what a surprise.

No time to watch this parade of smarmy leftists and never-Trumpers. I have a busy afternoon planned. I need to change some lightbulbs and take a nap. Later I will tune in to Newsmax and OAN for real news.

Hey Mark Warner, are you going to talk about your election fraud win? Gage won...

Now the only ones standing between Trump and exposing this fraud is the GOP. The NeverTrump faction only makes up around 5% of the Republican voters yet it makes up around 75% of the GOP establishment.
These elected Reps are being told by their managers and donors if they are to step up to support Trump they will never get elected again or they would be funded according to their resistance.

Now the biggest enemy of the American Party is the Republican Establishment.

I certainly agree with your analysis. What do you tell the Georgia voters in the upcoming Jan 5. Senate runoff elections?

Should these voters vote to support the Republican Establishment as represented by the two RINOs running for office?

A litany of losers, users and abusers.

The mentally challenged, impaired and deranged.

Welcome to the Sunday Morning Talk Show thread!

I fear a Schumer-led Senate, and the damage it can do, but the RINOs have damaged us, too.

But unless we are Georgians, we don’t have a say in the outcome.

FOX NEWS SUNDAY - Panel: Ben Domenech, the Federalist

I find it Interesting to see Ben on this panel. Ben represents the current conservative American point of view. Could FOX be trying to lure their audience back? No, no way - they also included USA Today; Juan Williams.on the panel.

As to BRAY's commentary today - SUNDAY MORNING FUTURES (FNC): The Show to watch! Hosted by Maria Bartiromo: Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Bakersfield);In my observations to date, Kevin McCarthy is the quintessential house version of Mitch McConnell with Linda Gramnasty's ability to get on Maria's Show and lambaste us with bullshit

It may be I am misjudging Kavin, the 2022 House will certainly be interesting IF the Republican (RINO) party gets control of the House.

Last time the RINOs had control of the House, they chose NOT to repeal OBAMACARE

But unless we are Georgians, we don’t have a say in the outcome.

Indeed, tons of huffing and puffing going on here. But when the poop hits the fan everyone retreats to - my RINO is killing me slower than their Commy

Understandable human nature, that is why in Europe, central and eastern the common thing was to cast curses. Prayers to the gods - never works, but it helps salve the mind when the body is broken

Well they actually did, but it lost in the Senate.

Remember this?

Did McCain stop Obamacare?

McCain, who has brain cancer, cast the decisive vote that halted the GOP's first ObamaCare repeal effort over the summer. With a dramatic thumbs down on the Senate floor, he stopped that legislation in its tracks.

Three thoughts

1. Sitrep at the precipice of CW2 -- don't miss beginning

2. The REAL DEAL (royalties) on the NOVEL (man-made, mutating) coronavirus(es) -- don't miss beginning

3. Enjoy Beach Boys<= do not miss 1 min+ ["normalcy"]

I hope he and Ted Kennedy are talking old times this morning.

Those two seats are gone but I would call and say if you are not going to fight for me and my vote why should I fight for you?
