The Constitution clearly defines impeachment as a procedure for removing individuals from federal office. "Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States" Obviously the person must hold a government office at the time of the trial or the removal question is moot The Senate cannot remove a the person from an office the person doesn't hold. Nothing in the impeachment provision authorizes the Senate to try private citizens even those who once held government office. Our system...

Patrick Rooney, Founder of Old School™ (Natural Health / Success / Freedom) discusses the Q movement's influence on the American People's psyche, and how we can move forward.

Today Joe Biden issued a firm call to heal America’s racial divide, taking several steps and promising more to confront racism and inequality that he said has plagued the United States for far too long. Only 2,200 people were watching the live video on the White House YouTube page as Biden mumbled through his prepared racial equality remarks on Tuesday. Screenshot below: In his speech, Joe Biden accused all Americans of being a “nation of morally deprived” people. Joe Biden: I believe we are in a battle for the soul of this nation. And the simple truth is our soul...

With a deft maneuver today raising a point of order to require a vote of the full Senate to dismiss the sham impeachment case against Donald Trump, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul demonstrated clearly that the divisive Senate Democrats have no chance of obtaining a conviction in their ongoing jihad to keep persecuting the man even after he has left office. Sen. Paul is at his best when he is focused on being a thorn in the fat butt of Chuck Schumer, and he played that role delightfully today, beginning his parliamentary maneuver with an epic floor speech that should be...

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on May 1 last year prohibiting bulk power system equipment from foreign companies in the U.S. grid, citing security concerns. The U.S. Department of Energy noted that under the current rules, contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder when it comes to bulk power system procurement, and that creates a “vulnerability that can be exploited by those with malicious intent.” U.S. Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette said that it is imperative that “the bulk-power system be secured against exploitation and attacks by foreign threats.” Analysts believe this means that the United States will...

Turns out that some Republicans aren’t just going to take all of this nonsense sitting down. – Throughout the four years of Donald Trump’s presidency, every executive order he issued was immediately challenged by Lawfare lawyers in the federal courts. The leftwing activists were clever about bringing their challenges in leftist-dominated jurisdictions like Hawaii, Oregon and California, where they had the best chance of drawing a fellow leftist judge who would rule in their favor. Many had assumed that Republicans were too dumb and timid to play the same legal games when China Joe Potato Head Biden began signing off...

Twitter unveiled a feature called Birdwatch on Monday meant to bolster its efforts to combat misinformation and disinformation by tapping users in a fashion similar to Wikipedia to flag potentially misleading tweets. Not content with their silencing and censoring the views and opinions of people like Donald Trump, Twitter now turns to the Twitterverse to enlist them to do their dirty work for them. Censorship will become a group effort, where no opinion will be allowed except for the opinion of the group. This is exactly what George Orwell warned would happen one day in America, that day is now...

Now that Joe Biden is in the White House, Democrats are once again on the march, this time to put abolitionist Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill. They don’t actually know very much about Harriet Tubman, but she was Black, and Democrats desperately want to put somebody Black on our money. So here she comes. I say they don’t know very much about Ms. Tubman because Democrats announced this on the same day that Democrats sent a procession of House Managers over to the Senate to deliver an Article of Impeachment against former President Trump. They are charging him with...

recently received an e-mail from a reader of Live Not By Lies who said that the book was saying exactly what needed to be said right now, in this extraordinary moment for traditional Christians and political conservatives. I would have normally thanked him, and let that be that, but this was no ordinary reader. This was from an experienced military intelligence officer, now retired. Lieutenant Colonel (USA, Ret) Alexander Braszko served the country for 22 years as a Military Intelligence and Space Operations officer. He has extensive experience integrating space, cyberspace and information operations capabilities into Army and Joint operations....

For the energy business, the Biden pain has only just begun. – China Joe Potato Head Biden, who has been wrong on every energy-related issue since the Carter Administration’s hilariously failed price control efforts of the 1970s, is taking a lot of head from formerly powerful Democrat constituencies this week over his rash and illogical decision to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline project’s cross-border permit. VDO.AI Biden’s action was of course taken as a means of payback to the powerful climate change lobby whose funding of Democrat political campaigns rivals that of George Soros these days. Sold as a “climate...

Fun Energy Fact of the Day. – Amy Harder at Axios reported yesterday that “Oil, natural gas and coal accounted for 81% of the world’s energy consumption in 1990. Thirty years later — in 2020 — that figure dropped to 80%, mainly because of the pandemic, according to the International Energy Agency.” Remember also that that unchanged percentage comes after many trillions of dollars have been invested in capital and subsidies for wind and solar development globally. Axios didn’t report this, but it is a reality that, 30 years from now, in 2050, most truly scholarly projections on global energy...

The world's ten richest people, including Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Bill Gates, have seen their collective wealth increase by half a trillion dollars since the start of the Covid pandemic, according to a new report. The business magnates could even pay to vaccinate the entire world with their profits from the last year, the Oxfam study claims. The anti-poverty campaigners used figures from the Forbes 2020 Billionaire List and wealth data from Credit Suisse to investigate the financial impact of the pandemic on the world's wealthiest. Oxfam said the richest 1,000 people have already managed to recoup the losses...

Dominion Voting Systems on Monday sued Rudy Giuliani, accusing former President Donald Trump’s personal attorney of carrying out “defamatory falsehoods” about Dominion in part to enrich himself through legal fees and his podcast. The company said it seeks to “set the record straight, to vindicate the company’s rights under civil law, to recover compensatory and punitive damages, and to stand up for itself, its employees, and the electoral process.” “Although he was unwilling to make false election fraud claims about Dominion and its voting machines in a court of law because he knew those allegations are false, he and his...

At the height of the Matrix, the protagonist Neo (he'd been called CopperTop) sees that everyone in the world is wired into a giant power grid. Dr. Robert Epstein -- a mysterious man warned that he'd better watch out, then his wife died in a mysterious "accident" -- most recently reported on Tucker Carlson that Google switched 6 million votes. Earlier before the Senate, he projected about 10 times that much cheating. How often do you vote, every 2 years? What about the rest of the 365 (×2) days? We listen to conservative talking heads who use the same old...

A new generation of media crusaders clamors for government control over what you see, hear, and read—and for banning their competition American journalism once thought of itself as being inherently and institutionally pro free speech. Visitors to the Newseum, the media industry’s temple of self-glorification on Constitution Avenue in Washington, were once greeted with the First Amendment inscribed across 74 vertical feet of lofty marble. The Newseum has been closed since late 2019, its operators having discovered the hard way that the public doesn’t share the media’s heroic level of regard for itself. The museum was an anachronism in more...

Why does the Biden Administration hate Native Americans? – On Sunday I wrote about the negative reaction by officials in New Mexico to China Joe Potato Head Biden’s order halting all oil and gas leasing and permitting actions on federal lands for 60 days. The Land of Enchantment’s officials turn out not to be so enchanted with the idea of shutting down the industry that funds about half of the state’s annual budget. Go figure. Well, New Mexicans are not the only ones who are more than a little irritated by the new administration’s rash action. See, the Biden ban...

And now, a Because Science Look-in at how the “science” about COVID-19 is working out for the people in North Dakota and South Dakota: May be an image of text that says 'North Dakota vS South Dakota COVID-19 Cases Per Million North Dakota ✓ Masks Business Restrictions BOUTH N THE MOUNT South Dakota Masks Business Restrictions SD 1/28/1 ND Source: Covid Tracking Project Moving Average 0///10/20 4/21 12/12/20 @yinonw' This concludes your Because Science Look-in for today. Speaking of COVID-19, here is what happens when CNN, MSNBC and every local news channel in America removes their “death tracker” graphic from...

The Perpetual Outrage Mob on Twitter is outraged again. – But now, in a dose of high irony, the Perpetual Outrage Mob (POM) has turned it’s ire towards the elderly Sock Puppet who was their hero just days ago. Such is the result of the POM learning that the reality of China Joe Potato Head Biden’s policy does not come close to matching the wild promises he and Kamala Lala Ding Dong made during their fake campaign. First, the POM went berserk when it discovered that the “$2,000 checks” for COVID relief that China Joe and Kamala promised during the...

Three days after Trump left office, Russia has erupted. Having survived a poisoning, the prominent opposition figure Alexei Navalny recuperated in Germany. The U.S. strongly condemned Russia for jailing Alexei Navalny and arresting thousands of demonstrators who marched in cities nationwide Saturday in support of the Kremlin critic. More than 3,000 people were arrested at the protests. Navalny’s wife, Yulia, was among those detained, she said on social media. Navalny, the most prominent critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, was arrested Sunday after coming back to Russia from Germany, where he was recovering for months from poisoning he blames on...

Joe Biden signed 15 Executive Orders on Wednesday alone. Biden signed additional executive orders on stimulus checks, food stamps and minimum wage on Friday. President Biden signed two executive orders, one of which would increase federal food assistance and streamline the delivery of stimulus checks. Some internet sleuths allege that while signing the orders Biden said: “I don’t know what I’m signing” Video below: LinkLinkIt doesn’t mater if you are a fan of Biden but until we find a video with even clear sound we can’t tell for sure if he is saying: I don’t know what I’m signing or...
