    Guess you folks forgot I wrote this back on November 8, 2020. Click here.We are having a parallel situation to what happened in Mexico with Porfirio Diaz in a way. He cheated, got caught, and the people were enraged. Even when Federal troops gunned folks down in the Zocalo square, they did NOT retreat. Porfirio Diaz had to flee the country.

    Concerned that “free speech can be abused by enemies of the Biden Administration to undermine its policies and programs,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is calling for “the creation of a commission or some similar agency to rein in media who deviate from the truth.” While the United States has relied on the First Amendment’s guarantee of freedom of speech for the last 230 years to prevent the government from censoring criticism of itself, Ocasio-Cortez contends that “the anarchy allowed by our Constitution is not up to the task of shepherding the American people toward the democratic socialism voters just endorsed...

    The Democratic lawmaker who led the filing of the latest article of impeachment against President Trump spoke Sunday about the level of danger lawmakers faced from rioters during the Jan. 6 overtaking of the U.S. Capitol. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) told Jake Tapper, host of CNN's "State of the Union," that rioters wanted to murder both Vice President Pence and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calfi.), adding that lawmakers remember hearing chants of "Hang Mike Pence" from the invading rioters. "You don't need a six-month investigation to figure out what happened," Raskin said of the Jan. 6 violence, adding, "There was an...

    Trump’s Silenced Majority – The Voiceless, Voteless, And Canceled Governed No Longer Consent Posted on January 16, 2021 by TMH By: Daniel John Sobieski The violent storming of the Capitol cannot be condoned but it must be explained as so many posturing Trump critics and haters are unwilling to do. Just what do you expect will happen when 75 million Americans are told their votes don’t matter and can be stolen without consequence or concern, that their voices don’t matter and can be silenced at will and that now they must be punished for supporting the candidate of their choice...
  • Canadian aunt and uncle of Kamala Harris reflect on niece's upbringing, historic achievement

    In the aftermath of the deadly siege on Capitol Hill nearly two weeks ago, vice-president-elect Kamala Harris took some time to call her aunt and uncle in Canada to let them know she was safe. "These days her life is so busy, they are very brief conversations, but she wanted to show me everything was OK," said Chinni Subash, the younger sister of Harris's late mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris, on Rosemary Barton Live. The vice-president-elect was in Washington, D.C., when a mob of pro-Donald Trump rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 as Congress voted on president-elect Joe Biden's...

    my blog: Backyard Fence ^ | 1/17/21 | GSpurlock
    Europeans and liberals of all stripes believe there is proof that the “soft socialism” of Europe works and that the USA should follow its lead. Is the temptation of government candy in the form of free health care, free education, guaranteed good-paying jobs, free/cheap housing, etc. really a free lunch? Or, is it bait for a trap? What they do not see or grasp is that both Europe and China have been subsidized by American taxpayers for decades. If they succeed in conquering the free enterprise system in the U.S., the subsidies will disappear. Following are some of the ways...
  • Kuwait's cabinet submits resignation in standoff with parliament

    Reuters ^ | January 13, 2021 | Staff
    Kuwait’s Prime Minister Sabah al-Khalid al-Sabah presented the resignation of his cabinet to the country’s ruler on Wednesday, days before the premier was due to be questioned in parliament over his choice of ministers and other issues. The standoff between the government and parliament less than a month after the cabinet was appointed poses the first big challenge to Emir Sheikh Nawaf al-Ahmed al-Sabah, who assumed power in September. It complicates government efforts to tackle the OPEC state’s deepest economic crisis in decades, caused by low oil prices and the coronavirus crisis. The impasse, the latest in a series of...

    This article was posted on Free Republic years ago and considering the state of the Nation, I think it's worth posting again. It illustrates the mathematical techniques that would have been used by the British to identify the "conspirators" during the Revolutionary war, if cell phones existed. Don't think for a moment that this is not occurring today and possibly with us.London, 1772.I have been asked by my superiors to give a brief demonstration of the surprising effectiveness of even the simplest techniques of the new-fangled Social Networke Analysis in the pursuit of those who would seek to undermine the...
  • Eisenhower’s Farewell Address At 60

    American Conservative ^ | 1/16/2021 | Pavlos Papodoplous
    If you know one thing about Eisenhower’s Farewell Address, chances are it’s the phrase “military-industrial complex.” But the military-industrial complex was only part of his warning. Indeed, he saw that the massive military establishment and armaments industry were the results of a larger “technological revolution” that was still unfolding. Even if we were to radically cut defense spending, or somehow reconvert our permanent armaments industry to the production of ploughshares—which would themselves be hamfisted ways of correcting our policies—we would miss the root causes of these dysfunctions. Now, sixty years later, is as good a time as any to revisit...

  • Alternatives to GOP: what are the options (with a view towards election success by 2024)?

    01/17/2021 9:02:35 AM PST · by Peter ODonnell · 135 replies
    original to Free Republic | Jan 17, 2021 | Peter O'Donnell
    Obviously in an ideal world, the "base" would assert control over the Republican Party and flush out the swamp creatures who seem to form the majority of its executive and prominent elected representatives. But assuming that movement never takes off or gains any traction, what third party options exist and what are their chances for electoral success by 2024? The range of possibilities would seem to include these: (a) Declare the existence of an alternative GOP, calling it something very similar to the Republican Party (with the word Republican in the name, such as Conservative-Republican, Constitutional-Republican, Free Republican? hmm) ......

    An FBI office in Virginia issued an explicit warning that extremists were planning to travel to Washington, D.C., to commit violence and “war” the day before the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol, according to an internal report obtained by The Washington Post, directly contradicting the bureau’s previous claim that it had no intelligence to predict last Wednesday’s siege. The previously unreported details undercut the assertion by a top FBI official that officials had no indication that violence was a possibility, and they add to questions about what intelligence authorities had reviewed before the Capitol riot, which led to the...
