You really believe there will be elections again that hold them accountable after they successfully stole the last one?
The RINOs have nothing to fear from the American people anymore. Elections will be rigged beyond belief from now on. Those who take their orders from the Deep State and Globalists will be safe from the wrath of the voters.
Just realized that this thread was about the Defense Bill, so thought I’d better make a correction regarding the removal of Confederate statues from NPS sites. It was the pork Bill that issue was in, and after re-reading the article that was sent to me, it says that the wording about removing the Confederate statues from the NPS sites was in the original Bill, but was “removed” prior to the pork Bill being voted on. Republicans knew President Trump would veto the Bill if it was in it. I can’t imagine that Republicans didn’t think he’d veto the Bill anyway with all the other crap in it. In the article, the Democrats have said that removal of the section regarding the Confederate statues is only a temporary setback. They will keep trying until they get it done.

Even if they make their theft good of one national election, they’d have to commit on the national scale at least 218 out of 435 petty thefts and 51 out of 100 major ones to consolidate their power, and that cannot be done absolutely. The Republic has known such thefts before, and survived them in 1876 and 1960, and had a close call in 2000. The struggle is the point. You win some and you lose some, but as long as you don’t just lie there feeling sorry for yourself, but get up and prepare for the next battle, you can still win.
There is a G-d, and He made a round world where what goes around comes around.
Saying it’s “pragmatic” means it’s good for something. Surrender is good for nothing. Massive voter fraud was the norm in the 19th Century. It was stopped at some point, and fell out of favor. OK. It came back with a roar this year. We have a man who is fighting it to the bitter end. In this we’re very fortunate. If he were to give up, effective voting would be a thing of the past, but he’s willing to go all the way, and I’m still rooting for him to win, and doing whatever I can to help, however marginal.
Thank You ....and merry Christmas !
Amen. Grizzly bear. Rips face off and sits on anyone who crosses him. And smiles all the while.
And he’s OUR F*&^ing grizzly bear!!!!!!!!!!!!
We’ve been through it once. FDR’s Great Depression.
WE coulda been born in worse times for sure
Merry Christmas to ya'all
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
I guess we just have to give up hope and roll over and die.
Elections are a false sense of hope at this point. We also don’t have a political party (or courts for that matter) that is willing to fight for us and uphold the values that made this republic great. If you study history you’ll see that once radical elements get in power they only want more of it. And they now own the ballot box in critical precincts.
Whatever governing ideals and respect for democratic processes we may once have shared with the Left are gone now. They want power and control, we want freedom and liberty. We need to be looking at bolder solutions to deal with the decline of this country and the perilous situation we are in.
If we want to save the ideals of the republic and its founding principles we have to be as innovative and courageous as the Founding Fathers were.
Naaah. That gets boring and painful. Try this instead.
King Henry V: What’s he that wishes so?
My cousin Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin:
If we are mark’d to die, we are enow
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God’s will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires:
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England:
God’s peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man more, methinks, would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made
And crowns for convoy put into his purse:
We would not die in that man’s company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is called the feast of Crispian:
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say ‘To-morrow is Saint Crispian:’
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.
And say ‘These wounds I had on Crispin’s day.’
Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
But he’ll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day: then shall our names.
Familiar in his mouth as household words
Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
Be in their flowing cups freshly remember’d.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember’d;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.
From Henry V, Act IV, Scene III
Ah, Henry V’s St. Crispin’s Day speech - one of my favorite Shakespeare passages! How fitting for today.
See #34.
Midterms?, Covid-mail in planned “elections”
Arm up, for knock, knock, 20 in a house, bam, bam open up.
Must have been on the lips of more than a few in 1776, 1861, 1942, Irgun fighters in Israel from 1944 to 1948...etc. Henry V’s St. Crispin speech is your all-purpose fixer-upper, putting fire in bellies, iron in spines, and turning balls to brass in the face of adversity. Thank you, Billy Shakes. Time to get off our pity pots and do it. Let’s roll!
Merry Christmas to you too!!!
