Col Douglas Macgregor - Will Biden Stumble into a New World War? The video begins with China concerns; but the really interesting part of it is the in depth information from Colonel MacGregor about Trump's various attempts to pull out of Afghanistan and General Milley (No! no! no!) and Mitch McConnell's refusal to let him do so. The constitution may say that "The president shall be the commander in chief," but it is now "standard operating procedure" for the Deep State to make those decisions. Trump had similar experiences trying to pull out of NATO, declassify documents, grant pardons and...

Harvard Law professor emeritus Laurence Tribe said Thursday on CNN’s “Erin Burnett OutFront” that former President Donald Trump attempted to murder Vice President Mike Pence on January 6, 2021. Burnett asked, “From everything you have seen so far, including the hearing today that focused so much on Trump causing violence against Pence, do you believe the committee has proven that Trump himself knowingly committed crimes?”

How despairing you feel about these results depends on how charitable you want to be to Republican voters.But the fact that insurrectionist Doug Mastriano is closer to becoming governor than milquetoast centrist Mehmet Oz is to becoming senator should not fill you with warm and fuzzy feelings about the state of the GOP.The charitable explanation for Oz trailing John Fetterman by nine points while Mastriano trails Josh Shapiro by just four is that Fetterman is an unusually strong candidate and Oz an unusually weak one. The 46/37 margin between them doesn’t mean Republican voters prefer election truthers like Mastriano to...

Good God, I hope everyone in Congress recognizes what this bill, which apparently has now passed and Biden will sign it (seeing as he asked for it directly), means.Let's recap. Per our Constitution the military is under civilian control. That is, the actions of the military, including weapons used by same or suitable for same, are under the control of Congress and The Executive.Congress must authorize anything that leads to expense, and such must come from The House. Again, this is basic Constitution stuff.Now Congress has explicitly authorized, and Biden will sign, this bill that specifically permits the transfer to...

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Friday repealed his traffic-clogging immigration order that backed up commercial trucks at the U.S.-Mexico border, after a week of intensifying backlash and fears of deepening economic losses. The Republican governor dropped his new rules that had required all commercial trucks from Mexico to undergo extra inspections to curb the flow of migrants and drugs and ratcheted up a fight with the Biden administration over immigration policy. Some truckers reported waiting more than 30 hours to cross. Others blocked one of the world’s busiest trade bridges in protest. Abbott, who is up for reelection in November...

"‘The Ben Shapiro Show’ host expects legal challenges against federal vaccine mandates to reach"

Why Republicans should expel her -- and make it clear that the Dems are the party of the nuts and the bigots. The two to four years ahead are going to be the toughest in American history. The Democrats have taken over the White House and Congress. They’re opening the borders, preparing to impose amnesty for tens of millions of illegal aliens, then they’re planning to permanently rig the Senate by adding Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico as states. And then they’re going to pack the Supreme Court and federalize elections to rig all future races. Those aren’t conspiracy theories....

In response to President Trump’s briefing this evening, the bipartisan National Council on Election Integrity — a group of more than 40 former elected officials, former Cabinet secretaries, retired military officials, and civic leaders — issued the following statement: “The president spent 15 minutes using the podium of the White House to make false claims that undermine the integrity of our elections and do a disservice to the hard-working election officials around the nation who have performed their duties admirably. There is absolutely no basis for these irresponsible claims. Politicians can say whatever they choose, but it is the American...

Election law experts, including one of President George W. Bush’s top campaign attorneys, say the Trump campaign’s current lawsuits lack compelling evidence and are not likely to change the outcome of the 2020 contest. Asked for comment on President Donald Trump’s claims of illegal absentee and mail-in ballots, former Bush attorney Barry Richard said none of the campaign’s current suits appear to be supported by evidence. “I think the lawsuits filed so far are entirely without merit and will not be successful,” Richard, who served as a lead attorney for the Republican candidate during the 2000 recount in Florida, wrote...

This is the full post, minus the photos and some formatting. If you don't know who Jimmy Lai is, how the NED is funded through the CIA, and what John Bolton is all about, this article is for you. Here, in this article, we look at the United States involvement with HK. We [1] study how the United States uses Hong Kong to exert pressure on China for trade and geopolitical advantage. We also [2] take a look at the various people “behind the scenes” that are pushing for American involvement, for their own personal gain. Finally, [3] we study...

TRUMP TELLS DEMS TO SHOVE ITWHITE HOUSE WAR ON IMPEACHMENT'ILLEGITIMATE'

Senate isn’t going to convict. He should accept that the swamp-defenders in the House are going to impeach him, and claim it to his rhetorical advantage. Just like he boasted about the boos he got from lobbyists and GOP bigwigs in the Republican primary debates He’s an outsider who is trying to clean the stables. Of COURSE that means the swampsters will impeach him - if they didn’t it would be a sign he wasn’t making progress AnywY, this is the message I’d write if I were his speechwriter

Lots of buzz about this in political media this afternoon. But then, there were also many “bombshells” during the course of the Mueller investigation that caused a stir in political media and you know how those turned out.Speculation about the troubling “promise” Trump may or may not have made to a foreign leader has naturally focused on Putin and Kim Jong Un. Did he promise Putin he’d make some startling international concession, like exiting NATO, in exchange for God knows what? Did he tell Kim that he’d withdraw U.S. troops from South Korea if Kim did X,Y, and Z?...

Face it. The U.S. government no longer belongs to the people and it no longer represents them. This causes a rage, an anger because Americans feel helpless. You see, there is absolutely nothing they can do about anything. Nothing. Americans are absolutely powerless, and the ballot box is simply a facade. It is no longer possible to redress grievances in America. At best you will be ignored. At worst you will be shot dead and killed. Take note, this uneasy feeling is not misplaced. It reflects the real state of affairs. It’s a very sad thing to say. But, yes....

So, apparently Ann Coulter has a new book coming out. And its about (immigration Ann?) Fortunately, it hasn't been named yet and I'm sure Ann wouldn't mind if us FReepers named her new book.

Is it possible that the person underneath the KKK outfit was Northam's wife (his date then?) Northam was too tall to be under the outfit, so he had to be in blackface. So who was under the KKK hood?

Attorney General hopeful Bill Barr WON'T fire Mueller and doesn't think he's on a 'witch hunt' says Lindsey Graham as he reveals they've been 'best friends' for 20 years and their wives share a Bible study and Mueller attended his daughters' weddings Sen.
