NOTABLE QUOTES

Sundance contributor to  The Conservative Treehouse: For those who think the conflict is not being orchestrated by the Obama-Biden administration, consider this. European countries and our NATO allies are not as worried about Russia entering Ukraine.

Mike Vanderboegh gun rights advocate: This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

Ned Ryun founder and CEO of American Majority:   — how did we end up where you have these little authoritarians, not only on school boards, but inside all levels of government? “We know what’s best, you dirty little peasants, you little troglodytes. You will shut up and sit down and we will lead you to a more progressive future, utopia on earth. If you only shut up and sit down, we will lead you there. Of course, you might have to give up some of your rights. We’re going to take a lot more of your money from you.” None of this is by mistake.

Ned Ryun founder and CEO of American Majority:   Donald Trump would always say, “We got to drain the swamp.” The foundation of the swamp is the Administrative State. You break the state, you drain the swamp, you restore the Republic.

Richard Robinson member of  York Suburban School Board in Pennsylvania complained:  School boards are now the new battleground in the fight for America’s future.

 Victor Davis Hanson contributor to American Greatness: Wokeism’s natural logic is to destroy the lives of people of both genders, of all races, and—if need be—those of every age, all to leverage an otherwise unworkable ideological agenda. It is nihilist and destroys everything it touches. It tears apart foes and friends alike, whether by fueling media-driven hatred of Donald Trump or faux-deification of the disaster that is now Joe Biden.

Steve Kirsch: My speech at “Defeat the Mandates” march today
Hi. I’m Steve. I am not a doctor. I’m worse. I’m an engineer with two degrees from MIT. I look at data. I make decisions based on what the data says, not on what people tell me to think. After 3 relatives of a friend of mine died right after being vaccinated, I started looking at the data from the clinical trials, from studies, from the government, and from doctors. What the data said was troubling. Very troubling. […] We are being mandated to take a vaccine for a societal benefit without ever being shown the risk-benefit analysis. There is a reason for that. The benefit is negative. According to over 12 studies, the vaccines are killing at least 15 people for every life that the vaccines were projected to save. And we are permanently disabling even more. For kids, I’ve seen a risk benefit analysis showing we kill over 100 kids to save 1 kid from COVID. NOBODY has the right to MANDATE that I must risk my life to save other people I don’t know. That’s unethical and immoral. I would not voluntarily choose to deprive my kids of their father.

1/21/22: March for Life Rally

Elordi: The March For Life Returns To D.C. Amid Renewed HopeThe March for Life, in which thousands of pro-life advocates will march to the Supreme Court to protest legalized abortion, returned to Washington, D.C. on Friday for its 49th year. The March has taken place every year since Roe vs. Wade (the event was virtual last year), the 1973 landmark Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide. Organizers say the march is the largest annual human rights demonstration in the world. Pro-life marchers carried a plethora of different signs on Friday demonstrating their advocacy for both mothers and their babies. Some proudly hoisted American flags as they marched.

Prestiacomo: ‘We All Have An Equal Life’: Down Syndrome Advocate Speaks At Packed ‘March For Life’
Down syndrome rights activist Katie Shaw spoke before a crowd of tens of thousands of pro-life protesters at the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., Friday, emphasizing to attendees that each life holds value, no matter their ability or size. “Equality begins at the moment of conception,” said Shaw, who happens to have Down syndrome. “I am proud to be here today to march and show the world that people with disabilities need a chance to live their lives outside the womb.” “There is a waiting list of babies with Down syndrome to be adopted, yet 80% of us are aborted,” Shaw, 37, continued the speech. “I am broken-hearted to think of all my friends who are not here today because of abortion.”

Pearce: ‘Diabolical’: Abortion Activists Target D.C. Basilica, Pro-Life Prayer Vigil On Eve Of March For Life
Catholic advocates and church leaders condemned a group of abortion activists for posting pro-abortion messages on a Catholic basilica in Washington, D.C. The incident took place late Thursday, the evening before the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., which routinely brings tens of thousands of pro-life protesters to the nation’s capital. Catholics for Choice, a progressive group that advocates for abortion and other “social justice” issues, projected pro-abortion messages on the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception during a prayer vigil to end abortion.

GOP

Jewell: Another Republican Joins Efforts To Ban Insider Trading, Introduces Legislation In The House
Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R-MO) joined fellow Missourian Sen. Josh Hawley (R) in pushing for a ban on insider trading in Congress. Hartzler introduced the “Banning Insider Trading Act” on Wednesday, stating, “It’s past time for Congress to crack down on this potential corruption.” “When Speaker Pelosi can trade millions of dollars in stocks per year, outperform the market, and receive classified briefings at the same time, it’s no wonder she defends the trading of individual stocks by Congress,” she said. “It’s past time for Congress to crack down on this potential corruption and work for the American people, instead of their own wallets. I am pleased to join Senator Hawley in our fight to restore decency and truth to Washington. No one – not even the Speaker of the House – should benefit from public service.” Hartzler’s bill would “prohibit . . .

Laila: J-6 Chairman Bennie Thompson: Bill Barr Has Spoken to Jan. 6 Committee About Draft Executive Order to Have Defense Secretary Seize Voting Machines for Investigation (VIDEO)
Politico on Friday published a draft executive order that “would have directed the defense secretary to seize voting machines and a document titled “Remarks on National Healing.”” Again, this was a draft executive order!  It never happened. President Trump and tens of millions of his supporters were concerned about the 2020 election fraud that included unexplained spikes in voting totals in the middle of the night following the election. CBS’s Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan asked Bennie Thompson about the draft executive order published by Politico.

Sundance: DC Mayor Muriel Bowser Asks Residents to Begin Voluntary Rationing of Food at Grocery Stores
For those of you who have prepared it is wise to remember the advice that always accompanies the final stages of preparation.  Once you are prepared, shut up, zip it, run silent and run deep. […] DC Mayor and COVID Compliance Minister, Muriel Bowser, asks residents in/around her region to enter a phase of voluntary rationing.  What comes after the voluntary phase is the part many have been studiously preparing to avoid.

Bannons War Room: Pandemic Of The Administrative State
Bari Weiss, the former New York Times reporter who resigned in protest over the newspaper’s cowardice, has now turned her attention to the Biden regime’s fake covid protocols. This segment begins with her appearance on the Bill Maher Show in which she announces she is “done with covid,” and then moves on to Steve Bannon’s analysis of her declaring we have a “pandemic of the administrative state.”: “This is a a super liberal, super-progressive woman politically. … This is the most massive tectonic plate shift…. Politics in the future are not going to be like what politics were before.”

Sundance: Professional Leftists Begin Trying to Retreat from the Consequences of Their COVID Nonsense
The professional political leftists are starting to rebrand themselves as having fallen victim to the “bureaucracy of COVID”, and according to those high-minded people who think very highly of themselves, we are supposed to embrace this new enlightenment from the same people who were demanding our acquiescence to their dictates. This example of “THE AWAKENING” from an uber-progressive, Ms. Bari Weiss, on a television show, is supposed to be something I am told to appreciate. […] David Mamet had a famous saying, I repeat it often because it helps people break the cycle of abuse.   Essentially: …‘in order for democrats, liberals, progressives et al to continue their illogical belief systems they have to pretend not to know a lot of things’… By pretending ‘not to know’, the professional left carries no guilt, no actual connection to conscience.  Denial of truth allows easier trespass, and that is exactly what Ms. Bari Weiss is attempting in that soundbite. This hate-filled Democrat ideology relies on our willingness to reconcile their presentations and grant benefit within their seeds of doubt. It is time for ‘cold anger‘ to turn hot. Sorry, forgiveness is for the next generation….

THE DEMOCRAT LED WAR ON PARENTS

California proposal would allow preteens to get vaxxed WITHOUT parental consent but Republican hits out at Democrat Senator’s ‘flawed policy’ saying ‘parents are vital’ to child immunisation decisions
San Francisco Democrat Scott Wiener argued for the change because the state of California already allows teens over 12 to consent to the Hepatitis B and HPV vaccines, and to treatment for sexually transmitted infections, substance abuse and mental health disorders. […]  This to me seems to be another example of Democrats wanting to remove parents from the equation,’ Gallagher said, adding that thinks Wiener may have difficulty even in a Legislature overwhelmingly controlled by his own party.

Berry: Pennsylvania School Board Member to Parents: ‘I Don’t Work for You’
A Pennsylvania school board member, ostensibly disgruntled because parents are showing up at board meetings to voice concerns about education issues, penned an op-ed Sunday in which he responded, “I don’t work for you.” Richard Robinson, a member of the York Suburban School Board, appears to long for the days when “nobody showed up” to school board meetings. The “public comments” period of these meetings, he noted at the York Dispatch, once gave residents “the chance to vent their spleens about exorbitant taxes or demand subjects be taught properly the way they were during the most frigid period of the Cold War.” These days, however, Robinson complained, “school boards are now the new battleground in the fight for America’s future”:

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA REGIME: TRANSFORMING FOREIGN POLICY

(Why is this not treason?) Lifson: As Iran was about lose its UN General Assembly vote for nonpayment of dues, the US arranged funds to cover the debt and keep Iran voting
The Trump administration’s sanctions on Iran were working so well that the mullahs were unable to put together the money to pay up on its United Nations dues. Not after paying much higher priority bills, such as supplying weapons to the Houthis fighting our allies in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and supporting Hezb’allah’s attacks in Israel. Or engaging in joint naval maneuvers with Russia and China. What happened next is shocking, as reported in this New York Sun editorial: . . .

Sundance: Obama-Biden State Dept Orders Diplomats and Families to Leave Ukraine Ahead of U.S. Conflict with Russia
“These are prudent precautions that in no way undermine our support for, our commitment to Ukraine,” a senior State Department official said Sunday. The department made the decision now “based on this military buildup, based on how we see these developments,” they added, calling it the “right moment.” (read more) The professional political class in Washington DC, both wings of the UniParty with personal financial relationships with Ukraine, seem to want conflict with Russia. Nothing personifies the absurd DC perspective and disconnect more than a group of bipartisan politicians concerned about the borders of Ukraine and ignoring the border crisis in our own country.

CHINA: AMERICA’S MORTAL ENEMY

Wallace & Muntean: US suspends 44 China-bound flights from Chinese airlines
Washington is suspending more than three dozen flights from Chinese carriers over the next couple of months, the latest escalation in a spat over pandemic-related travel rules between the United States and China. On Friday, the US Transportation Department said it would suspend 44 China-bound flights operated by Chinese carriers from the United States between late January and the end of March. […]  Many China-bound flights from the United States have been canceled in recent weeks because of a so-called “circuit breaker” rule that the Civil Aviation Administration of China has applied to international flights. That rule, enacted last June, means that a flight is automatically suspended for two weeks if five or more passengers test positive upon landing in China. If 10 or more passengers test positive, the suspension period increases. China has defended its “circuit-breaker” regulations as “an important step to reduce the risk of cross-border spread of the epidemic.”

Baker: Schweizer: Biden Family Received ‘Some $31 Million’ from Individuals Linked to ‘Highest Levels of Chinese Intelligence’
Schweizer, the author of Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, said Biden’s son Hunter, while the elder Biden was serving as both vice president and president, was engaged in deals with individuals tied to the highest levels of Chinese intelligence. He called the Biden family’s business dealings “unprecedented.” “One of the most startling things we uncovered is the simple fact that the Biden family, while he was vice president of the United States and continuing when he became president, received some $31 million from Chinese individuals who are linked to the highest levels of Chinese intelligence,” Schweizer outlined on Fox News Channel’s Life, Liberty & Levin. He continued, “And these deals, which we lay out in the book, were carried out by a couple of individuals. One is a guy named . . .

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY’S  MARXIST PLAYBOOK: CRT (WOKE IDENTITY POLITICS)

VDH: Wokeism Is a Cruel and Dangerous Cult
Wokeism has been described by its critics as the omnipresent use of race—and to a lesser extent, gender—to replace meritocracy and thus ensure equality of result. What follows from implementing that ideology are reparatory actions to reward those of the present by atoning for the injustices done to others in the past. Some see it as an update of 1960s cultural Marxism fads. Others scoff that it is just a return to 1980s-style political correctness. Still more see it as the logical successor to 1990s-type race, class, and gender obsessions—albeit with a shriller and more dangerous Jacobin, Soviet, and Maoist twist. Wokeism’s hysteria also invites comparisons to the Salem witch trials and McCarthyism. But few have described wokeism as the cruel creed that it is.

AN AMERICA IN DECLINE

Frontpage Magazine: Ned Ryun Video: Can Our Great Republic be Restored?       
Incorporating lessons from American history, Ned Ryun, Founder and CEO of American Majority, talks about draining the swamp and restoring a strong Republic. There’s no cavalry coming over the hill; there’s no — some great cavalry coming over to save you. I tell this to American majority trainings all the time. “You are the cavalry, like the people” — just look at each other, you are the cavalry. it’s dependent upon what you will do. The happiness and liberty of millions yet unborn depends upon what we will actually do today. And I’ve always said this, and I want to tweak it a little bit. Action is the soul of revolution. But when you think about it, the American Revolution was not a revolution, it was a restoration. […]  Donald Trump would always say, “We got to drain the swamp.” The foundation of the swamp is the Administrative State. You break the state, you drain the swamp, you restore the Republic.

Maria Bartiromo: Sunday Talks, Devin Nunes Provides Update on Truth Social Media Platform
Devin Nunes appears on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo to discuss his new position as CEO of Truth Social and the challenges of building an anti-fragile platform. {Direct Rumble Link} Having spent the last 14 months deeply organizing and constructing what Nunes is describing, I can appreciate the scale of this effort his team is attempting to create.  Building technology platforms that are anti-fragile to Big Tech is not easy and is extremely expensive. Nunes is hopeful that Truth Social will be live as an independent social media system sometime before the end of the first quarter.  It will be interesting to see how they handle user privacy, user data and access points for user engagement.
