President Trump is Our ‘Canary in the Coal Mine’
American Thinker ^ | 15 Aug, 2022 | John F. Di Leo

In the coal mine, the loss of the canary was a warning, a beacon to everyone else around. It warned them of the danger that could quickly defeat them as well if they didn't act with urgency. Since November 2020, has the Republican Party acted with urgency?

Over a century ago, scientist John Scott Haldane, recognizing the danger of carbon monoxide in coal mines, introduced the use of pet canaries as an early warning system for miners. The concept caught on quickly, and for three quarters of a century, coal miners would come to trust their pet "canary in the coal mine" as their potential lifesaver: carbon monoxide would kill the bird first, giving the men time to escape the mine before the deadly gas could get them, too.

Former President Donald J. Trump is the Republican Party's canary.

In the "pandemic year" of 2020, Democrat bureaucrats across the country took advantage of public fears of Covid-19 to scare millions of people out of the traditional American election practice: in person, at a polling place, where each voter could at least potentially undergo an identity check as protection against vote fraud.

In 2020, numerous state, county, and city governments authorized such corruptible concepts as mass mail-in ballots, unguarded non-mail public drop boxes, and virtually unlimited ballot harvesting.

In Wisconsin, for example, the program known as "democracy in the parks" enabled Democrat activists to turn in tens of thousands of ballots that they claimed without evidence to have collected from hobos on park benches in the state capital of Madison. Nursing homes were told by the Wisconsin Election Commission that they could go ahead and cast votes on behalf of their patients, however conscious or unconscious they may be, without state officials supervising the voting

The RINOs sure aren’t going to fight the leftist push.

RINOs now are what the Democrats were 3 decades ago.

Just like the universe has a right red shift ( ever expanding ), politics has a built in left shift.

With what we’ve seen in the last week, I would guess that republicans are afraid to speak out against the hardline communists that have wormed their way into govt at all levels.

I think they didn’t worm their way in. They cheated and bought their way in

The canary in the coal mine was a dumb, expendable, caged bird, put to good use against its will.

President Trump is a hell of a lot more that! He is the hero of these times.

He was talking pretty tough last night. Of course, he’s no longer in Congress, so now it’s safe.

Thats the problem with Gowdy and too many other politicians — they TALK but don’t ACT.

Unfortunately, things are going to get a hell of a lot worse before they get better. the 2020’s will be as dark of a decade as the 1940’s were, except the battlefield will be the USA.

We have been electing Bush League Republicans for decades, they are in reality just Assistant Democrats.

ALL elected South Carolina Republicans are Bush League Republicans.
Gowdy is no different than Flimsey Grahamnesty, Tim Scott, Nancy Mace, etc.
