US elections

The huge crowd attending President Trump's speech gathered peacefully in front of the Capitol building as the House & Senate were in session. Some elements of the great throng urged participants to storm and enter the building, while the majority had no idea that was even happening.

I HAD LOOKED FORWARD TO WRITNG A NEW YEAR POST on New Year's Day because I love the New Year time and the opportunity to make some “resolutions” (which I have every intention to follow, not just for fun). But on January 1st I felt what I had to say would not be of enough importance to readers, so I waited. Now the Jan. 6th  anniversary has given me an opportunity to make some predictions.

Mark Milley, four-star general and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is the current face of the now openly apparent American malaise—exhibiting itself as lack of true leadership and purpose, along with chronic lying coming from the highest levels.

I'M AWARE IT'S BEEN OVER TWO MONTHS since I've posted anything in this space. I did make several beginnings with good intentions, but soon couldn't maintain the belief that it was purposeful enough to justify the effort involved. Each time, I concluded there was no good reason to continue, as it was either something those who read this site already know, or they won't or can't do anything about it anyway. IOW, what's the point?

But I thought it was high time I let you know I'm not ill or dead! I'm quite well, health-wise, and also very happy. So I've done my best to share what thoughts I have on our current situation below. I am, on the whole, remaining detached and am not worried.

Justices Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan show little sympathy for the Arizona Republican Party and Arizona Attorney General's arguments at the Supreme Court today.

Voting should actually be a little more difficult than it is now, in order to stall off corruption from either political party.

Today, the US Supreme Court is hearing an election reform case from Arizona: Brnovich v. DNC, defending two voting requirements that the Democratic National Committee says cause racial disparaties in voting.

These two current requirements being challenged are 1) that voting can only take place in one's assigned precinct (something we're all used to as it's always been the case) and 2) putting limits on organized 'ballot trafficking' by limiting who may 'collect' a voter's early ballot.

LIZ CHENEY IS BEHAVING as a “domestic terrorist” against the Republican voters in her state as she insists to the people she is supposed to represent that it is 'her way or the highway' on the subject of Donald Trump's Senate political impeachment 'trial'. She claims her first responsibility is to vote her own conscience. This brings up the question “what is the job of a congressional representative – to represent the views of the voters who sent him/her to Washington to represent them, or to represent herself and her fellow 'Never Trumpers'?

A recent poll conducted by Trump pollster John McLaughlin found that 73 percent of Republicans in red Wyoming view her unfavorably—while 62 percent of all voters in the state similarly view her unfavorably. Only 10 percent of GOP voters, and 13 percent of all voters, say they would vote to reelect her, and she trails by more than 30 points—54 percent to 21 percent—against state Sen. Anthony Bouchard, who has announced a campaign against her since her impeachment vote.

In spite of this, swamp creature Cheney said today on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace:

The Biden "woke" but troubled kids make up an oddly diverse group for the after-inauguration party. (from left): Jewish son-in-law Howard Kreim (married to Ashley), granddaughters Natalie and Maisy (note the high-top jogger footwear), daughter Ashley in tux, granddaughters Finnegan and Naomi, and grandson Hunter (Beau's son with a Beatles-era hairstyle).

Trump's five kids: Responsible, hard-working, never in trouble with the law. From left: Don Jr, Barron, Ivanka, Eric, Tiffany. All with their original partners except Don Jr. He married Vanessa Kay Haydon in 2005 with whom he had 5 children. In 2018, after Donald Trump had become U.S. President, they separated due to Vanessa's dislike of the increased public spotlight, and filed for an uncontested, friendly divorce.

JOE BIDEN'S TWO BROTHERS, TWO GROWN CHILDREN AND NIECE  have had multiple run-ins with the law since 1988, without any one of them spending a day behind bars. How to explain that? First let's compare it to Donald Trump's four grown children and three siblings who've had no run-in's with law enforcement whatsoever. His older sister Marion was even a respected Federal Judge!

... you didn't think he wouldn't, did you?

IN THESE FINAL DAYS, the Trump White House has been compiling a list of the president's accomplishments during his 4 year term. I'm really glad they have. It will be handy when responding to those misguided Trump-bashers who love to say, “Trump didn't do anything for white people.”

Trump has accomplished a lot, with no group or class of people left out. That's what a President is supposed to do and must do. Just watch how Joe Biden will leave out benefitting white working people and conservatives in blatant fashion. Then those critics might appreciate Trump as they should. I copied this list from The Gateway Pundit.com and am publishing it here to keep it in one more secure place. But because it's so long, I didn't list all the specifics under every category.

The Gadsden Flag was named after American general and politician Christopher Gadsden (1724–1805), who designed it in 1775 during the American Revolution. It was used by the Continental Marines and is often used in the United States by conservatives as a symbol for limited government.

IT SURE DOESN'T MEAN of, by and for Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco.

Who are 'the people' that this country exists for? Those who came to Washington DC on January 6 in the hundreds of thousands to express their support for their president Donald J. Trump are some of those people. But all we hear, read or see since Jan. 6 is that Donald Trump is a madman, a would-be dictator who must be driven from office immediately before he carries out any more mad adventures, and these hundreds of thousands of 'the people' are deluded domestic terrorists who must now be more strongly surveilled, rebuked and as many as possible put in prison.

Dear Readers,

I'm reposting the article below by Tom Sunic that I just read on the Occidental Observer webzine, because I agree with it so very much. I've known Tom Sunic since 2010 and this is the best I've read from him—likely the only piece I've ever totally agreed with. That is in spite of the fact that Tom and I probably see eye-to-eye on all important issues, but Tom, in my estimation, hasn't wanted to go too far out on a limb lest he lose his academic opportunities. It's always seemed to me that he hedges, if only just a little bit. In this essay, however, he lays it out in plain language, and I applaud him for it. It deserve wide reading. -cy

The Political Theology of White Guilt: Trump as a Threat to the EU's Post-WWII Narrative

December 17, 2020/by Tom Sunic, Ph.D.

The presidential postelection period unfolding now in the US is having a big impact on the political class in Europe. Historically speaking this is nothing new. Every politician in Europe knows that any major political change in the US is bound to have, the day after, an effect on his own decision-making policy and likely determine the time span of his career. This mode of mandatory pro-American mimicry among European politicians has been playing out in full force since 1945.

Biden, on Thursday, also said he planned to ask Americans to wear a mask for 100 days, starting the day of his inauguration – Jan. 20, 2021 – in order to drive down the number of coronavirus cases.

"The first day I'm inaugurated I'm going to ask the public for 100 days to mask," Biden said. "Just 100, not forever — 100 days.”

"I think we'll see a significant reduction that occurs with vaccinations and masking to drive down the numbers considerably.”  Fox News, Thursday, 12-3

WITH THIS, Joe Biden is trying to include himself in bringing about the end of the China Virus scourge by joining together his signature 'mask mandate' with the Trump-driven early vaccines, hoping to get credit in typical Biden family dishonesty for what was only Donald Trump's achievement. Clearly a gimmick designed to give an illusion of "substance" to JB's inauguaration speech, because, really, what can he possibly say to appear to be headed in a positive direction? In truth, he's the front man for a third Obama administration.
