Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump continues to lose support among Republicans in the aftermath of a leaked video where he's caught making vulgar remarks about women. The most recent is former Secretary of State Colin Powell who said, two weeks before Election Day, that he is voting for Democrat Hillary Clinton. The ongoing condemnation from across the Republican Party by elected officials has resulted in 50 Republicans who have demanded he drop out or won't vote for him, according to NBC News' count. Here's how they break out: [cut] Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton said Trump "let us down again" and...

In America, January 3rd, 2021 In this, the Declaration of the seventy-five million Americans who sought to have their votes count, who sought to be governed by the United States Constitution, who sought to live free in a nation of laws, we borrow from the words from our Founding Fathers: When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them,...

Those who have said they will object include U.S. Reps. Lance Gooden, R-Terrell, Brian Babin, R-Woodville, Randy Weber, R-Pearland, and Louie Gohmert, R-Tyler. Gohmert recently sued Vice President Mike Pence in an effort to prevent some states' votes from being certified. Gooden sent a letter to Texas U.S. Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz, both Republicans, urging them to object to the certifications. "In light of the numerous reports of fraud and lingering questions hovering over the validity of the election results across the country, I cannot in good conscience vote to certify these results," the letter states. "There must...

January 6 is the day we learn whether our Constitution will hold and whether congressional Republicans care. The 2020 presidential election was, in several targeted battleground states, an unconstitutional electoral exercise. Even putting aside evidence of significant fraud, virtually none of which received a hearing by our courts, events leading up to and including the November national election constituted a radical and grave departure from the federal electoral system adopted by the framers of the Constitution and the state ratification conventions. Now, let's be clear: None of this matters to the Democrat Party, since it and its surrogates perpetrated these...

U.S. Rep.-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) told The Kyle Olson Show this week that a senator will object to the electoral college vote, which will trigger debates and votes in both the House and Senate next week. In a segment that will air on Michigan radio stations Saturday — the day before her wearing in — Greene said a number of representatives will object to the electoral votes from six states on January 6. Greene said she reviewed affidavits from witnesses in states like Michigan and called President Donald Trump to say she wanted to meet with him and any...

The question is whether both Houses of Congress need to reject a state’s Electoral College vote for an objection made during the joint session of Congress on January 6, 2021 to prevail. As explained below, both Houses of Congress do not have to agree to reject a state’s Electoral College votes for those votes to be voided. There are five scenarios under Section 15 of the Electoral Count Act of 1887(3 U.S.C. § 1 et. seq.) (“ECA”) for counting and resolving Electoral College votes disputes in the joint session of Congress. Scenarios 1 through 4 deal with cases in which...

SCOTUS justices must order a new presidential election or admit they are not the guardians of the Constitution they claim to be. The U.S. Constitution states "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government." Providing this guarantee is one of the Supreme Court's most important duties. Vote-flipping machines and allowing the dead to vote which were reported in some states are not consistent with "a Republican Form of Government, " Ordering a new presidential election is the only practical way to deal with an election that has wide spread irregularities. The United...

When the Supreme Court of Chief Justice John Roberts rejected the lawsuit of the state of Texas and other states that said the election rules in contested battleground states like Pennsylvania were unconstitutionally written, SCOTUS ruled that it could not prove Texas or its citizens suffered harm by the processes by which another state selects electors and writes election rules. This of course is nonsense. Supreme Court Justices are like field goal kickers. They have one job. In the case of SCOTUS, it is to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. We are a union...

One of the things that irked me the most about most Republicans and even many conservatives over the past four years is their support of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. They would often tout his ability to get Trump-nominations, particularly in the judiciary, pushed through at a “record” pace. He was simply doing the most basic requirement of his job. Praising him for getting nominations on the book is like praising a middle manager at small company for writing an employee schedule every week.McConnell’s opportunity to shine came when Republicans held control of the House, Senate, and White House from...

Some of Mr. Biden’s supporters believe that he will be the most “Progressive” of presidents, and it is likely that Barack Obama’s vice president will bring back into the federal government the policies that characterized Mr. Obama’s term. If this is the case, the need for vigilance for the next four years will be even more profound, because, as David Bernstein showed in his remarkable book on the Obama years, the Obama/Biden administration was the most “Lawless” in memory. Professor Bernstein argued persuasively that Mr. Obama flouted the Constitution’s allocation of governmental powers, as more of President Obama’s actions were...

After outcry from Second Amendment groups and members of Congress, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has rescinded recently released guidance reclassifying millions of pistol stabilizing braces. "Upon further consultation with the Department of Justice and the Office of the Deputy Attorney General, ATF is withdrawing, pending further Department of Justice review, the notice and request for comments entitled “Objective Factors for Classifying Weapons with ‘Stabilizing Braces’,” that was published on December 18, 2020," ATF released in a statement Wednesday. The National Shooting Sports Foundation is praising the move and advocating for transparency and cooperation from the agency in...

Who has the power to appoint presidential electors?Now that inferior election officials in Arizona have rejected a legally issued legislative subpoena [...], the Legislature of Arizona must use its enforcement powers [...]. But what enforcement authority [...]? It's not the Judiciary. And it's not a sheriff, or state capital police. The Arizona Legislature has plenary authority over appointing presidential electors. All it has to do is self-convene by quorum in each branch, or by joint ballot, then vote to send Trump electors; then send the slate to Washington, D.C. That's how you enforce the subpoena. But then you do one...

The Secular Democrats of America PAC prepared a report for Joe Biden and his transition team that outlines a roadmap to "boldly restore a vision of constitutional secularism and respect in the land for religious and intellectual pluralism." The federal political action committee "represents secular Democratic individuals and organizations" and advocates for "secular governance, promote respect and inclusion of nonreligious Americans, and mobilize nonreligious voters." The proposal was formally presented by Democratic Reps. Jamie Raskin and Jared Huffman, co-chairs of the Congressional Freethought Caucus, and endorsed by Democratic Rep. Jerry McNerney. “We’ve offered the new administration a roadmap to restore...

Supreme Court Justice John Robers is a controversial judge, appointed by George Bush and at the time considered a conservative scholar, who has spent more than a decade delivering a deep betrayal to the American people as one of the more radical left justices on the Supreme Court, and one high profile person who is close to the President is boldly and publically calling Roberts to task with evidence that will damage Roberts. “Answers to 2 simple questions below will tell We The People ALL we need to know about Chief Justice John Roberts. We, The People, are entitled to...

The Constitution provides for a remedy in case there is any suspicion of fraud in a Presidential election. A single Senator can object to the seating of electors as valid and the election will be thrown to the States. There are signs that Sen Majority Leader McConnell is willing to suppress the votes of Senators against the election. No doubt they are pushing the line that changing the election outcome now would let loose Antifa and BLM, the dogs of war of the Dem. Party and the MSM. Not to worry--they are domiciled in blue states so let them loose...

Up now at whitehouse.gov, a petition: We the People ask the federal government to propose a new administration policy Enforce Art. 4 against Georgia’s unrepublican rigged-elections by ordering a federal takeover of GA’s runoff electionsArticle IV guarantees that each state “shall have a republican form of government.”Hamilton's definition of a republic is: "that the people should choose whom they please to govern them.”Election fraud usurps the will of the people, creating a definitively unrepublican form of gov.GA election fraud already subverted the 2020 presidential election and threatens in the upcoming runoffs to fraudulently determine control of the U.S. Senate as...

Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and Oscar-nominated screenwriter David Mamet is warning Americans that they are giving up their Constitutional rights under coronavirus lockdowns, saying that questioning government authorities needs to remain a vital part of the country’s democratic tradition. In an interview with Breitbart News’ editor-in-chief Alex Marlow on Breitbart News Daily on Sirius XM Patriot 125, David Mamet blasted the shut-down and stay-at-home orders that have once again taken effect in many states, leading to widespread economic devastation. “It just doesn’t make any sense. It’s the first time in history that an entire economy has been shut down because of...
