I also very much enjoy his writing. I’ve seen him on talking head programs a few times, and don’t think his presence there quite matches his written output in the way that Mark Steyn seems (to me) to have comparable skills in both print and visual media.

The airports will be shutdown. There will be NO escape for the likes of Joe Scarborough, Maddow and Tapper. There day is coming. It’s going to be glorious.

Overlooked in all the hype is charisma

Trump has charisma.

Biden is left over mashed potatoes with no butter or gravy or even salt and pepper.

Republican governors have begun to fight, to injure, maim and draw blood from our tyrannical progressive domestic enemies.

The governor with the most charisma will be the next President

And what’s more........ the city states are crumbling within

The Gods of the Copybook Headings are putting the saddles on.

Their time to ride will soon be upon us.

My personnel bet is that an economic crash will come, and the people will start to uprise just as they did in the USSR. But those people had no weapons and had to talk the military into stepping back.

What will happen here is beyond anyone’s ken.

So, enjoy this coma before the storm, because the storm is coming.

Was thinking pretty much this on the evening of Dec. 31st 2020 at about 11:59:59pm

***American Gulag***

I know... this should be a loud leading issue! We citizens should be marching (peacefully) on D.C. by the tens of thousands demanding their Constitutional legal rights.

This is just the autocracy's initial salvo. When they see that we don't care about the regular order they will expand their oppression.

We?
The only way I'm arriving at any camp is with several full mags or already dead.

This portion caught my eye -
 
They are weak, and stupid, and they are not even cunning enough to ensure that the cops and military, who would be expected to provide their final protective fire when accountability comes to overrun them, are prepared to do their dirty work.
 
Kurt aptly points out "They" are failing to cultivate the sort of legit muscle support a despotic regime ordinarily needs, instead attacking and undermining everyone in all directions, in a spread fire pattern. Currently it's the likes of the small number of Antifa and Black Lives Matter defectives they are aligning with and protecting, which isn't helping their momentum in more ways than one. It's driving a domestic arms race, driving people out of territories they roam in freely and hardening public opinion into action against them. Lose lose all the way.

Obeyme’s “civilian army” seems to be a wash.

So do I. This was a very well written article. Good to see someone not afraid to call biden the useless fixture he actually is. I kept expecting to see him write that if biden had an IQ 3 points higher he would qualify as a door stop. Same forharris actually, and that’s probably giving her too much credit...

Anyway, I enjoyed this read.

But what the hell are we going to do? It’s all looking scary. We’ve seen the highest gun sales in history for nearly a year, ammo is beginning to come back and prices drop, but gas just went up another nickel here, and many items at the grocery store are going up too.

I’ve been stocking up, but I’m not sure I have as much as I should, and prices are going up. Oout here in the boonies Imay last a little longer than many city folk, they are the ones I’m scared for. But how long will it take them to get out here lookign for anyone with food? I have stuff to barter, and a shotgun to hopefully stop thieves, a pistol or 3 after the buckshot runs out, but how long can it last?

We’re going to see it happen. It will be a lot uglier than most people realize too. When people are starving it gets really ugly in a hurry. Nostradamus predicted people resorting to cannabalismm to survive if I remember correctly. Is our current time period what he was looking at?

Scary stuff ahead...and just the fact that this guy felt the need to write this article says a lot...well written or not...

My favorite sentence in this article by Kurt:

We are flocking to Ron DeSantis and others who pick and poke at the status quo, while rejecting the Nikki!s and Asa!s and Kristi!s who still take the Chamber of Commerce’s calls.

I’ve not seen such powerful writing since the passing of Free Republic’s own ‘Firehat’.

I generally like Kurt Schlicter but he’s really on the money on this one. The sea change is happening. Much of it behind the scenes so the non intuitive don’t realize it. The desperate cabal are in their final death throes and they will definitely create havoc on their way out the door. Everyone should be prepared for the storm or the 10 days of darkness some are talking about. Its going to get bumpy before it gets better.

Will they pretend that she also has a 70% approval rating?

She got about 1% in the primaries. She is very unlikable her approval will never hit 40%
