It is time to send Obeyme, Brennan, Xiden, the Clinton crime cartel and Schwartz Gyorgy to the hoosegow where they belong.

Some politicians think they owe us nothing, but we owe them everything, including unearned admiration. What was done here was blatantly wrong, and the people involved will get their pedestals knocked out from under them.

IIRC, George Washington was known as the “American Cincinnatus”

Akin to the Epstein & Gal matter, focus should be on The Swamp:

The federal, state, and local: politicians, judges, government attorneys, and law enforcement agencies/agents . . . who allowed and/or endorsed and/or participated in the persecution of Donald J. Trump.

Re the Russia Hoax matter and Tulsi Gabbard's info, particular Swamp members:

Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act - FISA - judges who looked away - denying Donald J. Trump's right to Due Process - while signing to allow the Russia Hoax to proceed.

U.S. Senators and Representatives who knew that the proceedings were actually a Russia Hoax.

She needs to keep going

The same cabal cooked up “81 million votes” for senile Biden and criminalized anyone who even suggested the 2020 election was rigged to complete their coup

Yes, Cincinnati was indirectly named after George Washington by Revolutionary War veterans who settled in Ohio.

I won’t compare Donald Trump to Cincinnatus,


Time will tell but I think history will compare him to Cincinnatus and George Washington.

It appears to me Trump is training his replacements and will retire to watch his seeds grow as a retiring farmer does.

The media wants us to believe it is all about Trump and his personality. My observation is Trump is all about the goal and agenda............MAGA.

Point of clarification - as a native (born and raised) Cincinnatian, I feel compelled to point out that the former settlement of Losantiville, was actually named in honor of the Society of Cincinnatus. That Society was the private organization of George Washington’s former officers in the Colonial Army. Fort Washington, Fort Washington Way and Mt. Washington in Cincinnati are all named in the honor of this elite cadre of patriots.

George Washington gave the Society its name based upon his admiration of the Roman Farmer/General Lucius Quinctus Cincinnatus.

We can only hope this is correct. We can only hope that this event is exposed, publicized, and that the malefactors in it are charged and brought to justice. It may be the only thing, now, that might save our republic. We cannot tolerate corruption in elections or in government. If we learn nothing from Rome, we should learn that.


Shining light especially with torches and not LEDs is important.

The problem is there are so many things to shine the lights on. Everyone wants their special lollipop to be the focus.

I trust Trump, there are so many targets and limited resources. He has more info than we do from the media.

His homeruns are grand, base hits are fun and the strikes lead to another swing.

We are living with the results of 100 years of government control over the schools.

When government controls education, government gets the privilege of picking its own future rulers.

We can’t even get the department of education abolished, much less erect a wall of separation between school and state. This problem as laid out by the original author shows no signs of improvement.
