Satan has too many acolytes to consider containment.

Pray that this country Repents and Returns to God!

Do you get the feeling that they want it to be unmistakable that they are “piling on” with all these indictments, sort of like the legal nightmare is meant to communicate a message? Don’t rock the boat, or you’ll find out what real rocking is like. It’s theater. Deadly serious theater.

With the open support of President Roosevelt, Olson ran for governor of California in the 1938 general elections against conservative Republican and anti-labor incumbent Governor Frank Merriam. Merriam, known for suppressing the 1934 Longshore Strike and his conservative fiscal policies, was a highly unpopular candidate among progressives and unionists, with even conservative Republicans angered by his 1935 tax reforms. Merriam lost soundly to Olson. He was the first Democrat to win the governorship since James Budd’s election in 1894, breaking the 40-year Republican dynasty over the governorship.

Olson pointed at progressives and the Left for his inspiration, citing that “[t]hey point the way forward - toward the achievement of the aspiration of the people for an economy that will afford general employment, abundant production, equitable distribution, social security and old age retirement, which our country, with its ample resources, great facilities and the genius of its people, is capable of providing.”

Olson refused to say “so help me God” during his oath of office to state Supreme Court Justice William H. Waste. Olson remarked earlier to Justice Waste that “God couldn’t help me at all, and that there isn’t any such person.”

his proposal of compulsory universal health insurance for every Californian was defeated. The Legislature also defeated legislation to raise income, bank and corporate taxes

A long-time supporter of nearly every Roosevelt position on economics, politics and foreign policy, on March 6, 1942, he testified before a U.S. House committee on the danger of allowing Japanese Americans to remain free: “Because of the extreme difficulty in distinguishing between loyal Japanese Americans, and there are many who are loyal to this country, and those other Japanese whose loyalty is to the Mikado. I believe in the wholesale evacuation of the Japanese people from coastal California.”

By the 1942 general elections, Republicans were accusing Olson of blatant partisan politics during wartime, citing Olson’s often bitter divides with the State Legislature. The Republican Party nominated California Attorney General Earl Warren as the party’s nominee for the governorship. Warren, a centrist Republican, campaigned as a moderate voice that would appeal to both liberals and conservatives during a time of war, where California was considered as a possible front line, while accusing Olson of being an uncompromising, left-wing Democrat.

Olson lost to Warren by a large margin. In later years, Olson blamed “the active hostility of a certain privately owned power corporation and the Roman Catholic Church in California” for his defeat.

He regained the public spotlight again in the 1950s, when the Legislature voted to exempt Catholic schools from real estate taxes. Olson filed an amicus curiae brief to the state Supreme Court, asking the court to explain how the state’s exemption of a religious organization from civil taxes was constitutional.

He was one of the signatories of the agreement to convene a convention for drafting a world constitution. As a result, for the first time in human history, a World Constituent Assembly convened to draft and adopt the Constitution for the Federation of Earth.

Why should I listen to those corrupt bast__ds? They corrupt American democracy, they corrupt the election process, they corrupt the criminal justice system. They corrupt society by bringing in millions of illegal immigrants.

And there will never be another GOPee majority in the Congress or Senate. In fact there may be very few Republicans holding office.

“As a nation built on the rule of law, we urge Mr. Trump, his supporters, and his critics to allow the legal process to proceed without outside interference,” the top Democrats in Congress wrote in a joint statement issued late Monday.

Unfortunately Democrats have destroyed the rule of law. They have sown the wind ... and shall reap the whirlwind.

Kemp would have no future chance of getting elected if he refused to sign an election contestation clemency bill.

Our two term Governor of Georgia will have no other office to run for.

And you may have forgotten that Governor Kemp participated in the Democrat cheat.   He has every reason to cover up the fraud.

When Dems are upset: Go out and riot, get in their faces, harass them in their homes...
When Republicans are upset: Be quiet, don't interfere in the legal process.
(No matter how illegal the "legal" process is.)

The process IS the punishment. They don’t need to convict Trump. The goal is simply this: punish him by forcing him to spend $ millions defending himself and tie him up in the courts for the rest of his life. If they do get a conviction, bonus, but ultimately these “crimes” are very, very weak sauce so to speak.

The governor and most of the legislature are GOPe, so don’t expect any help from there.

A selective buying strike is very easy to undertake.

I do not currently recommend calling for a general buying strike. Such a strike would require significant sacrifice and would not be sustained currently.

I have asked that people not buy stocks that fund globalists or new houses whose lucrative construction lures in invaders.

The Georgia legislature apparently normally meets for up to 40 work days annually in March and April.

A special session can be called by the governor I believe to deal with the matter the governor states.

The “process” is a crime. A high crime. We are in the middle of an attempted coup.
