NATURE IS AS NATURE DOES

Time-warp
In their zeal to advance their radical progressive communist democrat agenda, some are attempting to co-opt and politicize science to justify their increasing taxation and authoritarianism.

Fact: To the best of our scientific knowledge of our universe, nature does not define time, and time is relative to your frame of reference in the space-time continuum. Space-time does not evolve; it simply exists. <Source>

However, duration, the apparent time between events, is measurable, albeit with some degree of referential and instrumental error.

So why do I care if a natural phenomenon like the perpetual climate changes in our evolving universe causes a slight disruption in our artificial timekeeping system? Does this natural phenomenon affect my life, or is it just another headline to raise awareness of the corrupt agenda of those seeking to manipulate our political system?

The headlines…

Here’s what the research paper says…

A global timekeeping problem postponed by global warming

Abstract

The historical association of time with the rotation of Earth has meant that Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) closely follows this rotation. Because the rotation rate is not constant, UTC contains discontinuities (leap seconds), which complicates its use in computer networks. Since 1972, all UTC discontinuities have required that a leap second be added. Here we show that increased melting of ice in Greenland and Antarctica, measured by satellite gravity, has decreased the angular velocity of Earth more rapidly than before. Removing this effect from the observed angular velocity shows that since 1972, the angular velocity of the liquid core of Earth has been decreasing at a constant rate that has steadily increased the angular velocity of the rest of the Earth. Extrapolating the trends for the core and other relevant phenomena to predict future Earth orientation shows that UTC as now defined will require a negative discontinuity by 2029. This will pose an unprecedented problem for computer network timing and may require changes in UTC to be made earlier than is planned. If polar ice melting had not recently accelerated, this problem would occur 3 years earlier: global warming is already affecting global timekeeping. <Source>

[OCS: Most scientific systems use atomic clocks and not computerized clocks. Computer clocks are not only notoriously inaccurate because the frequency that makes time increase is never exactly right, but they must be re-synced with external sources to be helpful. So if scientists must adjust the master clocks periodically, it has absolutely no effect on mere mortals.]

Bottom line…

That our Earth and atomic clocks are in sync is terrific. However, nature does not care, and its processes proceed regardless of man’s intervention.

While the research is admirable and adds to man’s understanding of nature, its portrayal by the media in the tonal context of the assumed harmful nature of climate change and is little more than political propaganda.

We are so screwed.

IS ANYONE SURPRISED?

Factcheck

Democrat election shenanigans in Chicago’s corrupt Cook County?

In a close razor-thin race between a moderate Democrat and a radical progressive Democrat, should anyone be surprised that the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners managed to find approximately 10,659 votes, which may flip the results the results?

On March 19, polling day, radical progressive university lecturer Clayton Harris was nearly 10,000 votes behind, according to an early estimated tally. By the end of Wednesday, after the 10,000 votes were added in, unofficial results had narrowed down to a tiny margin. Retired appellate court justice Eileen O’Neill Burke was ahead by just 1,598 votes, with 50.16 percent of the poll, against 49.84 percent for Harris.

The Chicago Board of Election Commissioners said 54,191 outstanding mail-in ballots had been sent to voters yet to be returned. Officials don’t expect to receive them all, and the official result will not be known until the April 2 deadline.

Max Bever, spokesperson for the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners, admitted that around 10,000 votes received by mail before the primary had been mistakenly left out of previous counts and accepted responsibility, “I traded speed for accuracy in reporting out numbers this week as quickly as I could. I truly regret this error on my part and for the confusion that it has caused the voters of Chicago.”

Under intense media scrutiny, Harris called O’Neill Burke to concede, and his campaign manager says they will not seek a recount. It appears it would be prudent to quit screwing with the vote rather than highlighting another corrupted election.

Another entitled federal judge?

Judge Reggie Walton, a senior United States district judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, used a CNN platform to openly criticize Donald Trump’s attacks on Judge Juan Merchan, the judge overseeing the former president’s criminal “hush money” case.

It’s very disconcerting to have someone making comments about a judge, and it’s particularly problematic when those comments are in the form of a threat, especially if they’re directed at one’s family,” said Walton, who has also faced threats, as has his daughter. “We do these jobs because we’re committed to the rule of law and we believe in the rule of law, and the rule of law can only function effectively when we have judges who are prepared to carry out their duties without the threat of potential physical harm.”

[OCS: Trump has never threatened a judicial officer or his family. What angers the judge is the media spotlight being cast on the judiciary, along with highlighting their partisanship and past foibles. As for the rule of law, the law is being perverted and corrupted to turn an ordinary non-disclosure agreement into a federal criminal case.]

I think it’s important in order to preserve our democracy that we maintain the rule of law,” Walton said in the interview. “And the rule of law can only be maintained if we have independent judicial officers who are able to do their job and ensure that the laws are, in fact, enforced and that the laws are applied equally to everybody who appears in our courthouse.”

[OCS: One need only look at the various Trump cases to know that the Judge is full of crap when he speaks of preserving democracy and ensure the laws are enforced. Like federal immigration statutes which are not being upheld and thwarted by activist federal judges.]

I think it’s important that, as judges, we speak out and say things in reference to things that conceivably are going to impact on the process, because if we don’t have a viable court system that’s able to function efficiently, then we have tyranny. And I don’t think that would be good for the future of our country, and the future of democracy in our country,” he continued. <Source>

[OCS: Speaking about impacting the process, here we have a sitting federal judge commenting on a pending criminal case against the leading GOP presidential candidate During the height of the election season – this not only appears to be inappropriate, but looks like an actionable breach of ethics that calls for disciplinary action.]

Everything is now racist…

It is unbelievable that anyone would believe that criminals must commit crimes in proportion to their racial or ethnic representation in the general population.

Gunshot-Detection Tech Has Saved Hundreds of Lives. The Left Says It’s Racist

More than 150 cities now use ShotSpotter. News reports provide many accounts of gunshot victims whose lives were saved because ShotSpotter, and only ShotSpotter, alerted authorities to their whereabouts. Police departments often claim the technology has helped them aid or save dozens, and in some cases more than 100 lives.

Chicago’s far-left mayor, Brandon Johnson, made headlines in February for canceling ShotSpotter, in part to appease the progressive activists who helped to elect him last year. But he’s holding off on removing the tool until September, after the city hosts the Democratic National Convention — Johnson said he’s giving the police a “runway” to wind down its use.

In Chicago, many of the loudest voices against ShotSpotter appear to be leftist activists, organizers, and “journalists” who previously were part of Defund CPD and the police-abolitionist movement that grew during the unrest of 2020.

But the most zealous anti-ShotSpotter activists go farther than just questioning the return on investment: They claim that the technology itself is “racist” and “evil,” that it is overly deployed in minority communities to spy on residents, and that ShotSpotter is dangerous because it sends amped up cops with itchy trigger fingers into minority neighborhoods.

They are some of the same arguments that anti-police activists have used to push back on a variety of crime-fighting technologies that have been introduced in recent years, from drones and license-plate-readers to robots designed to keep human out of dangerous situations. <Source>

Government accounting systems: defective by design…

Improper Payments:Information on Agencies' Fiscal Year 2023 Estimates (GAO-24-106927)

Improper payments—those that should not have been made or were made in the incorrect amount—have consistently been a government-wide issue. Since fiscal year 2003, federal agencies reported about $2.7 trillion in total improper payments. In FY 2023 alone, federal agencies made $236 billion in improper payments, a decrease of about $11 billion from the prior fiscal year.

This Q&A report shows that this estimate doesn't include the Department of Health and Human Services' Temporary Assistance for Needy Families—a program that is susceptible to significant improper payments. We covered this issue in a prior report.

What GAO Found

For fiscal year 2023, 14 agencies reported a total estimated $236 billion in improper payments across 71 programs. Agencies reported that about $175 billion (over 74 percent) of this total was the result of overpayments. About $186 billion (approximately 79 percent) was concentrated in five program areas. However, the $236 billion total does not include certain programs that agencies have determined are susceptible to significant improper payments, such as the Department of Health and Human Services' Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. The Department of Housing and Urban Development also did not report improper payment estimates for the Office of Public and Indian Housing's Tenant Based Rental Assistance program and the Office of Multifamily Housing's Project-Based Rental Assistance program. As a result, the government-wide estimate potentially does not represent the full extent of improper payments.

And this does not cover Biden’s “student loan relief” spending or untraceable billions flowing into foreign accounts in Afghanistan, Ukraine, and elsewhere, which are siphoned off by the kleptocratic elites and special interests.

Bottom line…

We are so screwed.

CALIFORNIA COMMUNISTS IN THE STATE BAR ASSOCIATION DESTROY THE RULE OF LAW

Lady-justice-1

Once again, we find the California commies in the California Bar Association weaponizing the regulation of those who practice law in favor of a radical progressive communist democrat political agenda.

According to the Bar Association’s website, “The State Bar of California’s mission is to protect the public and includes the primary functions of licensing, regulation and discipline of attorneys; the advancement of the ethical and competent practice of law; and support of efforts for greater access to, and inclusion in, the legal system.” <Source>.

John Eastman, a well-respected constitutional attorney and academic until his association with Donald Trump, is being railroaded by the State Bar for essentially acting like an attorney, providing advice and counsel to his client regarding legal challenges to the validity of the 2020 presidential election—something done for decades by attorneys of both parties.

CAStateBar_Logo_Horizontal_Grey_LarState Bar Court Hearing Judge Recommends John Eastman’s Disbarment

In a 128-page ruling, California State Bar Court Hearing Judge Yvette D. Roland found licensee John Charles Eastman (SBN 193726) culpable of 10 of the disciplinary charges filed by the State Bar’s Office of Chief Trial Counsel (OCTC) and recommended that he be disbarred. Absent a challenge, the recommendation goes to the California Supreme Court for review. 

As is the case for all State Bar Court disbarment recommendations, Eastman is ordered by the court to involuntary inactive status and cannot practice law in California while the Supreme Court considers the case. The order to inactive status is effective three calendar days after the order is served.

“Every California attorney has the duty to uphold the constitution and the rule of law,” said Chief Trial Counsel George Cardona. “Mr. Eastman repeatedly violated that duty. Worse, he did so in a way that threatened the fundamental principles of our democracy. The substantial evidence presented over 35 days of trial showed, and the court has now held, that Mr. Eastman abandoned his ethical and legal duties as an attorney to conspire with then-President Donald Trump to develop and implement a strategy to obstruct the counting of electoral votes on January 6, 2021, and illegally disrupt the peaceful transfer of power to President-elect Joseph Biden, knowing that there was no good faith theory or argument to lawfully reject the electoral votes of any state or delay the January 6 electoral count. Mr. Eastman’s efforts failed only because our democratic institutions and those committed to upholding them held strong. The harm caused by Mr. Eastman’s abandonment of his duties as a lawyer, and the threat his actions posed to our democracy, more than warrant his disbarment.”

Summarizing the court’s findings, the decision states, “Eastman’s wrongdoing constitutes exceptionally serious ethical violations warranting severe professional discipline,” and recommends his disbarment. <Source>

The charges ...

  • Count 1 – Failing to uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States by planning, promoting, executing, and assisting Trump in executing a strategy for Trump to overturn the legitimate results of the election by obstructing the counting of electoral votes of certain states, which strategy Eastman knew, or was grossly negligent in not knowing, was not supported by either the facts or law. Business and Professions Code section 6068(a).

  • Count 2 – Seeking to mislead the U.S. Supreme Court when he, on behalf of Trump, filed pleadings in Texas v. Pennsylvania, seeking to block the counting of electoral votes from four states carried by President Biden. In doing so, Eastman adopted Texas’s false and misleading factual allegations. Business and Professions Code section 6068(d).

  • Count 3 – Committing an act involving moral turpitude, dishonesty, and corruption by, in his two-page memo, falsely stating that seven states “have transmitted dual slates of electors to the President of the Senate.” Business and Professions Code section 6106.

  • Count 4 – Seeking to mislead the court in the Northern District of Georgia by filing a pleading on behalf of Trump in Trump v. Kemp, seeking an emergency injunction to decertify Georgia’s election results, which contained factual allegations Eastman knew were false and misleading. Business and Professions Code section 6068(d).

  • Count 5 – Committing an act involving moral turpitude, dishonesty, and corruption when he appeared on the “Bannon’s War Room” radio program and made statements about absentee ballot fraud that he knew, or was grossly negligent in not knowing, were false and misleading. He made these false and misleading statements with the intent to encourage the public to question the legitimacy of the election results. Business and Professions Code section 6106.

  • Count 6 – Committing an act involving moral turpitude, dishonesty, and corruption by, in his six-page memo, making various false and misleading statements about the 2020 election. Business and Professions Code section 6106.

  • Count 7 – Committing an act involving moral turpitude, dishonesty, and corruption when he, on Jan. 6, 2021, with the intent of promoting doubt about the results of the election, told thousands of people at the rally that preceded the attack on the Capitol that Dominion electronic voting machines fraudulently manipulated results. He knew or was grossly negligent in not knowing that his statements were false and misleading. Business and Professions Code section 6106.

  • Count 8 – Committing an act involving moral turpitude, dishonesty, and corruption by stating to former Vice President Mike Pence’s attorney, with the intent of pressuring Pence to adjourn the joint session of Congress, that there was “compelling” and “overwhelming” evidence that the election was “stolen,” when he knew the statement was false and misleading. Business and Professions Code section 6106.

  • Count 9 – Committing an act involving moral turpitude, dishonesty, and corruption when, with the intent to encourage the general public to question the legitimacy of the election results, he published an article in the American Mind, a publication of the Claremont Institute, regarding the 2020 presidential election containing false and misleading statements. Business and Professions Code section 6106.

  • Count 10 – Committing an act involving moral turpitude, dishonesty, and corruption when he proposed to Pence that Pence had the legal authority to and should act unilaterally to resolve purported disputes regarding electoral votes on Jan. 6, 2021, or that Pence had the legal authority unilaterally to delay certification of the votes. Eastman advanced a radical and incorrect theory of constitutional law and election law, based on misinterpreted historical sources, misinterpreted law review articles, and law review articles which he knew, or was grossly negligent in not knowing, were themselves fundamentally flawed, and on the false premise that the seven states at issue had transmitted alternate slates of electors, such that no reasonable attorney with expertise in constitutional law or election law would conclude that Pence was legally authorized to take the actions that respondent proposed. Business and Professions Code section 6106.

  • Count 11Committing an act involving moral turpitude, dishonesty, and corruption when he made false and misleading statements that contributed to provoking the crowd to assault and breach the Capitol to intimidate Pence and prevent the electoral count from proceeding, when such harm was foreseeable. Business and Professions Code section 6106.

Excerpts from the Judge’s findings…

Introduction

In this contested disciplinary proceeding, the Office of Chief Trial Counsel of the State Bar of California (OCTC) charged John Charles Eastman (Eastman) with 11 counts of misconduct arising from certain activities surrounding his representation of former president Donald J. Trump and the 2020 presidential election. Eastman is charged with one count of failing to support the Constitution and laws of the United States (Bus. & Prof. Code § 6068, subd. (a));1 two counts of seeking to mislead a court (§ 6068, subd. (d)); six counts of moral turpitude by making various misrepresentations (§ 6106); and two additional counts of moral turpitude (§ 6106).

After full consideration of the record, the court finds that OCTC has satisfied its burden of proving all charges except for count eleven, which the court dismisses with prejudice. In view of the circumstances surrounding Eastman’s misconduct and balancing the aggravation and mitigation, the court recommends that Eastman be disbarred.

...

The court has already determined that the following statements made by Eastman were false and deceptive: (1) that fraud occurred in the 2020 presidential election (count two); (2) that dead people voted (counts two and four); (3) that electronic voting machines were used fraudulently to alter the election results (count seven); and (4) that Vice President Pence had the authority to delay the vote counting (count ten).”

[OCS: There exists a substantial body of documentary evidence and sworn testimony that supports the allegations that “(1) that fraud occurred in the 2020 presidential election (count two); (2) that dead people voted (counts two and four); (3) that electronic voting machines were used fraudulently to alter the election results (count seven).”

As for “(4) that Vice President Pence had the authority to delay the vote counting (count ten),” this is the type of novel legal theory that appears in legal proceedings. Other than the classified documents case against Trump, the Georgia and New York prosecutions feature novel, untested legal theories that may not stand in an appellate challenge.

It should be noted that “on August 14, 2023, Eastman and 18 other people were indicted by a Fulton County, Georgia, grand jury for participating in Donald's efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 United States presidential election in Georgia. Eastman surrendered on August 22 and was booked at the Fulton County jail.”

Count Eleven – Moral Turpitude (§ 6106)

In count eleven, Eastman is charged with violating section 6106 by telling the crowd of protesters at the Ellipse on January 6, 2021, “That fraud had occurred in the election, that dead people had voted, that electronic voting machines had been used to fraudulently alter the election results, that Pence had authority to delay the counting of votes, and that [Vice President] Pence did not deserve to be in office if he did not delay the counting of votes.”(NDC, p. 33.) OCTC alleged that these statements were false and misleading and “contributed to provoking the crowd to assault and breach the Capitol in an effort to intimidate [Vice President] Pence and prevent the electoral count from proceeding, when such harm was foreseeable.”(Ibid.) The court does not find Eastman culpable of the misconduct alleged in this count.

[OCS: Had the Judge found something different in this count, it would have been a direct challenge to Eastman’s First Amendment rights under the Constitution.]

The cabal of dark money-funded radical progressive communist democrat attorneys filing ethics complaints…

The 65 Project is a campaign targeting lawyers who aided attempts by then-President Donald Trump and his supporters to overturn the 2020 election results using advertisements, threats of disbarment, and changing rules within the American Bar Association, ostensibly to deter future similar efforts.

The 65 Project was “devised” by Democratic consultant and former Clinton administration official Melissa Moss. It is a project of Law Works, a group with no website or public financial disclosures. 1 LawWorks has previously received grants from public policy-oriented foundation Democracy Fund and is a fiscal project of the Franklin Education Forum, a nonprofit organization that provides training and support to, “advance and broaden the appeal of the progressive cause.”

The name “65 Project” refers to the number of lawsuits filed by supporters of President Donald Trump to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

List of ethics complaints filed. <Source>

Bottom line…

It should be noted that a cabal of radical progressive communist democrat attorneys is attacking any attorney providing advice to Donald Trump. In contrast, an attorney who participated in the Hillary Clinton "Russia, Russia hoax" and numerous electoral challenges is still a member of the bar.

In the classic Orwellian world of progressive communist democrats, where up is down, left is right, good is evil, and right is wrong, we find these miscreants claiming to save democracy while they are destroying democracy.

There is no doubt in my mind that most attorneys simply advocate for their clients without actual regard for the law and that there is clear evidence that the 2020 election was stolen, if not by egregious voter fraud, then by the machinations of lawyers using warped electoral laws--and the media using disinformation and the omission of Biden’s corrupt activities. 

We are so screwed.

CAN FORMER DEMOCRAT TULSI GABBARD BE TRUMP'S VICE PRESIDENT PICK?

Maligned by both the democrats and swampy establishment RINOs, is it conceivable that Tulsi Gabbard represents an opportunity to re-unite the United States under a Trump Presidency?

Tulsi-VP

Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democratic Congresswoman, and 2020 presidential candidate has garnered significant GOP attention for her distinctive qualities that could make her a compelling choice for Vice President of the United States.

  1. Checks the boxes: Gabbard is a young, female, telegenic, articulate military officer who lives modestly and speaks of freedom, liberty, and the dysfunction of the current government.

  2. Constitution Advocacy: Powerful proponent of inalienable rights, upholding constitutional values, including sovereignty and immigration enforcement.
  3. Independent Voice: Gabbard has consistently demonstrated an independent and non-conformist approach. Her skepticism toward U.S. involvement in foreign conflicts sets her apart from traditional political forces. She also supports the commonsense idea that men should not compete in women’s sports programs.

  4. Critique of Military Interventions: Gabbard has been an outspoken critic of U.S. military interventions overseas as a veteran. Her stance against unnecessary wars and interventionist policies resonates with those seeking a fresh perspective.

  5. Environmental Advocacy: Gabbard is known for her environmental advocacy. Her commitment to addressing pollution and promoting sustainable practices aligns with pressing global concerns.

  6. Proponent of Women’s Reproductive Rights: She has championed women’s reproductive rights, advocating for access to healthcare and reproductive choices.

  7. Right-Wing Popularity: Since leaving the Democratic Party in October 2022, Gabbard has gained popularity in right-wing circles. Regular appearances on conservative-leaning outlets like Fox News and participation in CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) events have contributed to her rising profile.

Democrat divorce… 

Many wonder if Gabbard’s upcoming book release (April 30 release), “For Love of Country: Why I Left the Democratic Party,” is the opening of a concerted attempt to become the Vice President pick or the beginning of another presidential run in 2028.

tulsi-book-coverTulsi Gabbard was the rising star of the Democratic Party. But the growing wokeness, racism, and intolerance were more than she could stomach, and she left. This is her story.

Today’s Democratic Party is controlled by an elitist cabal of warmongers driven crazy by woke ideology and anti-white animus. They are a clear and present threat to the God-given freedoms enshrined in the Constitution.

A soldier, former member of Congress, and a presidential candidate, Tulsi loves her country: “I answered the call of duty and took an oath, dedicating my life to supporting and defending those freedoms, both in uniform and in public office. I became a Democrat when I ran for office because I saw them as a party that stood up for the little guy and against the interests of big business and warmongers. I remained a Democrat for twenty years, albeit with an independent streak.”

Today, that party is unrecognizable: antagonistic to people of faith, hostile to the police and law and order, suspicious of law-abiding Americans, unserious about border security, and uncritical of a national security apparatus that targets political opponents and that is dragging us ever closer to apocalyptic nuclear war.

Now an Independent, Tulsi calls on those who love America to protect our rights from those who seek to undermine them at every turn. It’s time to say goodbye to the Democratic Party.

Interesting interview with Tucker Carlson...

Tulsi Gabbard on Being Trump’s VP, Who’s Puppeteering Biden, and Corruption in Congress

Bottom line…

While Donald Trump will make the final decision, Gabbard’s unique blend of independence, critique, and advocacy positions her as a compelling choice for the vice presidential role.

Would I, a constitutional conservative, favor such a choice? You bet! Given the shortlist bandied about in the legacy media and rumored in the social media, Tulsi Gabbard appears to be not only a solid choice but, at this point, a practical and prudent choice.

Would she be able to become the President of the United States if something happened to Trump? For an answer, compare Tulsi Gabbard to the current Vice President, Kamala Harris.

We are at an inflection point and find ourselves to be living in a quasi-police state. Can we turn the Ship of State around to save our Republic?

We have no one left to rescue us from the swamp creatures except ourselves.

WHY GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS ARE AFRAID OF AI

If you are wondering why the government has its panties in a twist over artificial intelligence, look no further...

March 25, 2024

Dear Mr. xxxxxxx,

Thank you for contacting me to express your concerns regarding the national debt.

I agree that federal government deficit spending, and the national debt, must be dealt with by Congress. Broadly, I believe that we must reduce waste, direct taxpayer dollars in a way that represents our values as a nation, and make sure everyone pays their fair share. However, we must do so in a way that keeps the promise we've made to our seniors and to our veterans. As your representative, I will continue to stand up for our values, including protecting Social Security and Medicare and supporting middle-class families. Please be assured that I will keep in mind your concerns as Congress considers budget issues.

I take the viewpoint of my constituents seriously and appreciate that you took the time to contact me. As specific legislation is brought forward on this or other topics of interest to you, I hope that you will continue to reach out to share your views.

Sincerely,

1-2 AI-DETECT-2

Bottom line...

As for the content of the letter: yada. yada. yada.

As the most significant source of falsehoods and disinformation, the government must exert control over both artificial intelligence-embedded products and the means of information distribution.

Since social media platforms, including those supporting podcasts, are likely to be the news source for those seeking news over narrative, AI, platform access, and platform reach are fast becoming an existential threat to those who promote political narratives. 

Broadcast television and cable are dying, and the blatant lying on those channels has become painfully apparent to a growing segment of the population.

So when you hear the words disinformation or misinformation, beware—it is likely to be political content and unreliable. This is pretty much why the government is desperately trying to abrogate the Constitution, abridge the First Amendment speech prohibitions on the government, and criminalize anything that casts disrepute on government information sources.

We are so screwed.

BIDEN/IRAN CONSPIRACY THEORY?

How else can you explain the Obama/Biden Administration dictating de facto surrender terms to Israel while slow-walking critical arms when they are pouring billions into Ukraine?  Or relaxing sanctions on Iran that allowed them to access hundreds of billions of oil revenues to fund their terror proxies such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis?

Biden-32

The United States used a United Nations resolution to separate the release of the hostages and an Israeli cease-fire -- giving Hamas a strategic win. Biden is funding our enemies by relaxing sanctions on Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua. We are leaving American citizens behind, in Israel as we did in Afghanistan.

Want to see anti-Semitic/anti-Israel rhetoric?

"US intelligence agencies have concluded Hamas cannot be destroyed - a core aim of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's merciless onslaught on Gaza. So why is the US continuing to arm Israel - to fight a war it doesn't believe can be won?"   (Al Jazeera Media Network is a Qatar-media conglomerate headquartered at Qatar Radio and Television Corporation Complex in Wadi Al Sail) <Source>

Two-faced, duplicitous Al Jazeera and Qatar are not honest brokers and cannot be trusted.

Bottom line...

The truth is simple: Unreformed Islam is a danger to Western civilization and since the Islamicists believe the Quran is the literal word of Allah, any reform would be blasphemy and punishable by death. Death to apostates, Jews, Christians, and even other Muslim sects is baked into a religion founded by a warlord. 

We have never funded our enemies or asked an ally to care for an enemy population, 70% of whom want to see them dead. So what has changed since Obama, the communist-in-chief, captured the Democrat Party?  Look around--the progressive communist democrats have gone mad.

We are so screwed.

GOP: TELL ME WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO FOR ME NOW!

Rino-vote

In the stagnant arena of Republican politics, the allure of backward thinking appears increasingly seductive to the current leadership, including frontrunner Donald Trump. 

From venerating historical precedents of traditional values and a reverence for the past leadership of Ronald Reagan, Newt Gingrich, and other conservatives who held their own against the progressive communist democrats and the establishment “go along to get along” wing of the party to bring about significant change, it appears that the GOP is fixated on the past. Especially Donald Trump and his stolen election and bogus lawsuits. 

There is a pervasive temptation to cling to the past, reacting to the egregious behavior of progressive communist democrats, which is likely to remain unaddressed as the feckless GOP lacks cojones to take bold and decisive action. Even with strong presidential leadership, a weak-kneed GOP Congress is likely to be subverted by RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) like Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio or impotent absolutists like Rand Paul and Tom McClintock.

The distraction of holding individuals accountable for their past actions…

It is unlikely that former President Barack Obama and his communist cadre of criminals, Hillary Clinton and her cadre of hoaxers, and the corrupt Joe Biden and his gaggle of grifters will ever be judged by anyone other than future historians after they are long dead. So why bother? Push forward on repopulating the bureaucracy, Congress, and the Judiciary, eliminating members as they pop up or slow-walk agenda items.

I don’t want to hear about how the Republican Party stands as a beacon of principles deeply rooted in tradition and conservative values.

I am tired of the stale rhetoric and bumper-sticker platitudes. The path to victory demands that the GOP break free from the constraints of backward thinking. While we can honor our past and uphold our values, we cannot allow nostalgia to hinder our ability to adapt and evolve. We must be willing to challenge outdated paradigms and embrace new ideas that will propel us into the future. If this means fighting dirty and using the progressive communist democrat tactics against our opponents, so be it. Hold your nose and attack.

We are unlikely to convince progressive communist democrats and most independents to join us by embracing their values. We need them to join us because they see that our values will improve their lives. We should not pander to the indeterminant gender, multi-hued hair, Twitter-loving freakazoid. crowd

Bottom line…

GOP-CHARGE

The time for decisive Republican action is now. Our challenges are great, but so is our capacity to overcome them. By embracing progress, rejecting backward thinking, and leading with vision and courage, we can chart a course toward a brighter future for our party, nation, and future generations.

It is time for Republicans to rise to the occasion, seize the moment, and fight with purpose and determination.

The stakes could not be higher, and the opportunity could not be greater.

Let us come together as one party, united in our commitment to building a stronger, more prosperous America, or face a communist authoritarian future.

Even James Carville, the old Democrat dinosaur and reprobate, agrees, “It’s the only election in my lifetime where it’s about yesterday, not tomorrow.”

We are so screwed.

GRUESOME NEWSOM SIDES WITH HAMAS

Once again, we find progressive communist democrat Governor Gavin Newsom pandering to those who support terrorism…

Gavin-gruesom
Governor Newsom’s Open Letter to California’s Muslim, Palestinian American, and Arab American Communities

To California’s Muslim, Palestinian American, and Arab American communities:

California is a better place because of you—our Muslim, Palestinian American, and Arab American neighbors and friends who contribute so much to our state’s sense of faith and belonging. From countless achievements in literature, civil rights, arts, entertainment, government, business, medicine, and science, to the daily contributions to your communities, you form an essential part of California’s spirit. And now, as many of you observe the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, we can all extend our heartfelt wishes and be reminded of the value of introspection and renewal. I am grateful and proud that each of you call the Golden State home.

[OCS: By definition, Muslims follow teachings that hate Jews, Christians, Gays, and Muslims of other sects. They favor a theocratic government with few human rights. They denigrate women. So what part of their culture do Californians need to accept?]

That’s why it pains me so deeply to see the ways your communities are suffering, bearing the weight of lost family and friends in Gaza while facing a rise in discrimination and hate here at home. As I’ve met with leaders from your communities in recent months, I’ve heard stories of unimaginable loss and widespread fear.

My heart broke when Wadea al-Fayoume, a 6-year-old child, was stabbed to death in Chicago—he and his mother viciously attacked because they were Palestinian and Muslim. I grieved not just for Wadea and his family but for all who felt less safe after that devastating tragedy, who wondered whether they or their children might also be targeted because of their Muslim faith or Palestinian heritage. This sort of horror doesn’t just inflict violence on one life or one family—it tears at the safety and belonging of whole communities. Here in California, too, we’ve seen bigotry rear its ugly head. In November, an Arab Muslim student at Stanford University was injured in a hit-and-run by a driver who is alleged to have shouted hateful vitriol as he sped away, an incident authorities are rightfully investigating as a possible hate crime. We’ve heard too many stories of violence and discrimination—too many Californians fear being treated differently in school, excluded at work, or risking harassment just by walking down the street.

[OCS: Bullshit! How about some concern for California residents being killed by illegal aliens, deadly fentanyl and heroin flowing through the open border, and criminals being released into our communities by weak-kneed judges and prosecutors.]

These are not isolated incidents. Hateful acts targeting those who are or are perceived to be Muslim or Arab American are becoming more common. In California, reported anti-Muslim bias events rose 44.4% from 2021 to 2022. Reports also indicate a spike in reported anti-Muslim and anti-Arab incidents following the October 7th terrorist attack on Israel—the largest documented surge of its kind since late 2015 and early 2016, amidst calls for a Muslim ban. And now, many Muslim and Arab American communities report a level of fear comparable to the months following 9/11.

The Muslim and Arab American leaders I’ve sat with stressed that these numbers reveal only a fraction of the problem. They’re right. Out of fear and historically rooted distrust, we know that hate crimes and hateful incidents too often go unreported by many Muslim Californians, Arab Americans, Palestinian Americans, and other groups who have endured suspicion and alienation in this country. We in government must earn back your trust.

[OCS: Looks like you are meeting with a terrorist front group and terrorist sympathizers: “CAIR-CA and Statewide Muslim Leaders Meet with Governor Newsom to Discuss the Ongoing Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza”]

Your communities are not alone. Our history teaches that each swelling tide of bigotry will target more than just one group and that it will too often threaten all who have known discrimination. We are living through such a moment now, with African Americans, Asian Americans, Latinos, Jews, and LGBTQ+ Californians all experiencing greater vitriol and hate. California will continue to lead the way in defending those under attack for who they are, how they look, or what they believe.

[OCS: Ironic, isn’t it that Muslims hate African Americans, Asian Americans, Latinos, Jews, and LGBTQ+ Californians?]

This work isn’t new. When former President Trump announced his patently hateful “Muslim Ban” to bar travel from Muslim-majority countries, California took him to court to stop him.

[OCS: The Trump ban was for unvetted Muslims whose travel originated in countries with significant and ongoing terrorist activity. Such as the ban on travel from areas with substantial outbreaks of dangerous diseases.

Let us not forget it was Gavin Newsom’s mentor, Nancy Pelosi, who openly invited crowds to visit San Francisco’s Chinatown during the ongoing Chinese virus pandemic.]

When right-wing extremists tried to block refugees from resettling in their communities, California passed laws to strengthen protections and expand opportunity for refugees in California.

[OCS: Consider that it was hundreds of refugees who have no allegiance to the United States and wanted to reproduce their cultural existence, including Sharia law, and replace all existing culture and laws. With most living on welfare which they consider their due from non-Muslims. What you got was non-assimilation--creating Muslim enclaves in areas in New York City, NY; Houston, TX; Philadelphia, PA; Dearborn, MI; Los Angeles, CA; and Paterson, NJ. With "no go" zones for Jews in Dearbornistan and openly anti-Semitic representatives in Congress.]

When incidents of hate rose across the country during the pandemic, California made a historic investment in community-based services that promote healing for victims and their families and help prevent future hate incidents. California stands tall—and we always will—in the fight for justice and belonging.

Our efforts must continue amidst the current conflict in the Middle East. On top of the pain of discrimination and fear of violence, I have also heard from Muslim, Arab American, and Palestinian American leaders that many fear speaking out against the deaths of civilians in Gaza. Know that I will always defend your right to take part in the California tradition of peaceful protest—to publicly express your opposition to any war or government decision you oppose, including the war in Gaza.

[OCS: In recent surveys, 70% or more Gazans support Hamas and wish more Jews were killed. Islam is antithetical to Western civilization, religious freedom, and human rights.

Peaceful protest? You mean like openly harassing and threatening Jews in California’s universities and colleges, rioting on the streets, and destroying public and private property without consequences?]

None of us should be able to witness the deaths of thousands upon thousands of civilians in Gaza without our hearts breaking. The scale of suffering in Gaza is so vast that it seems few Palestinians across the world have been spared personal loss.

[OCS: Newsom and his corrupt progressive communist democrats openly accept the enemy’s propaganda and refuse to note that most of the dead were terrorists, the result of Hamas “friendly fire,” and collateral damage because Hamas uses human shields to hide their activities—firing from schools, hospitals, Mosques, and public places at Israeli troops.]

Here in California, one leader in the Palestinian American community told me of his work counseling community members who have lost family members—but now, after losing 23 of his family members, he is left searching for his own counselor. Others have shared similar devastation with me. I have spoken publicly about a close friend of mine who has lost nine of her family members. I’ve listened to stories of entire families in Gaza killed and multiple generations wiped out. These losses are staggering. And now burgeoning disease and starvation threaten to deepen the devastation, especially among children. This is unacceptable.

[OCS: So why isn’t the dumb son-of-a-bitch calling on Hamas to end the rocket attacks on innocent Jews, stop stealing humanitarian aid, and surrender? Why isn't he calling on Jordan or Egypt to create an Arab state? Could it be because they hate Palestinians more than Americans?]

So let me be clear—I condemn the ongoing and horrific loss of innocent civilian life in Gaza. I support President Biden’s call for an immediate ceasefire as part of a deal to secure desperately needed relief for Gazan civilians and the release of hostages. I also unequivocally denounce Hamas’s terrorist attack against Israel. It is time to work in earnest toward an enduring peace that will furnish the lasting security, autonomy, and freedom that the Palestinians and the Israeli people both deserve.

[OCS: What an ignorant asswipe. Hamas should unconditionally release all of the hostages, lay down their weapons, and surrender. The Arabs have rejected every peace proposal since Israel was born, and it is unlikely to change.]

While we continue to call for peace and freedom in the Middle East, here in California, my administration remains focused on building a California for All. As part of that effort, we are fighting back against Islamophobia and Anti-Arab hate—working to keep communities safe while uplifting Muslim and Arab American heritage and culture.

[OCS: California has been invaded by illegal aliens and criminal gangs, and Newsom lacks the cojones to protect lawful California citizens. There is no such thing as Arab-Americans; there are only Americans.]

Building on our anti-hate agenda, in October, I authorized the immediate expansion of funds for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program to bolster safety and security at places of worship across the state—including mosques, churches, and synagogues—amid heightened fears of violence at the state’s religious institutions. I’ve also worked closely with colleges and universities to promote student safety, mental health, and belonging in the face of rising reports of anti-Muslim and anti-Arab bias incidents. After I convened a meeting with leaders of the UC, CSU, and community colleges, and after I wrote a letter urging universities to enforce campus safety policies and cultivate spaces for affinity and dialogue, we are now seeing progress across the state’s universities. At the K-12 level, California’s first-in-the-nation ethnic studies course requirement will contribute to a climate of inclusion, including through lessons dedicated to Arab Americans. And beyond our borders, in November we shipped a field hospital and vital medical supplies to support humanitarian relief for civilians in Gaza. In recent weeks, the California National Guard has continued participating in efforts to deliver aid. Still, these contributions are no substitute for the enormous surge of aid that Gazan civilians desperately need. And while our anti-hate efforts here in California are an important start, there is more work ahead.

[OCS: Hamas is stealing almost all of the humanitarian aid, and Gazans are openly selling aid packages in the bazaars.]

As we chart a path toward a California for All, I ask that we continue the dialogue we’ve already begun. I am committed to deepening our partnerships at every level of state government, including through the California Civil Rights Department’s ongoing anti-hate work. Let us confront hate together.

To every Muslim, Palestinian American, and Arab American who calls California home: please know that you belong here.

[OCS: Shouldn’t that be everyone who assimilates into our culture, adopts our laws, and becomes a productive citizen?]

Sincerely,

newsom-Signature

Gavin Newsom

Governor of California

Bottom line…

Newsom is pandering to the enemy while destroying California from within.

God help us if this schmuck is Biden’s replacement.

We are so screwed.

MAJORIE TAYLOR GREEN: ATTACKING THE GOP, EMPOWERING PROGRESSIVE COMMUNIST DEMOCRATS

MTG-RISK-GOP

With a one-vote majority that risks seeing progressive communist democrat Hakeem Sekou Jeffries assume the position of third in line for the Presidency and the power to shut down all current investigations of the corrupt Obama-Biden Administration, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) filed a motion to force a vote on House Speaker Mike Johnson’s removal from the speakership.

During the vote on the pending $1.2 TRILLION, pork-laden, budget bill, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-GA, filed a a motion to vacate resolution with the House clerk that would remove House Speaker Mike Johnson from office if approved by the House. With the House scheduled to leave for a two-week recess on March 22, 2024, Greene’s motion to vacate would happen at the earliest on April 9, 2024.

Greene originally demanded that Speaker Johnson not bring the legislation to the floor for a vote, characterizing it as a "Demo'rat-controlled bill.”

By the rules established last year, after Representative McCarthy's (R-CA) election, any Member of the House can make a Motion to Vacate, which then requires a vote. A Democratic Representative could make the motion, but since the Republicans have the majority, they will presumably support their Speaker unless rogue representatives intervene.

Historically, this threshold was not successfully met until last October when a group of Republicans joined forces with Democrats to remove then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Joining all the Democrats were Republican representatives Biggs, Buck, Burchett, Crane, Gaetz, Good, Mace, and Rosendale. All because these GOP ass-wipes could not abide a bill that was the best budget bill in history AND DEMANDED NO BILL BE PASSED.

What we have here with Marjorie Taylor Greene is Senator Rand Paul in skirts, a grandstanding backbencher who claims the moral high ground on behalf of conservatives, even if it disadvantages the GOP and is little more than damaging virtue signaling on steroids.

Bottom line…

Both the progressive communist democrats and the GOP are in favor of a bill that allows House and Senate politicians to return to their districts with pork projects for the special interests just seven months before they face the voters.

We are so screwed.
