NOTABLE QUOTES

Dr. Oliver Tearle: George Orwell author of Nineteen Eighty-Four, describes a picture of undistilled power, control, and oppression when he wrote: “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — for ever.”

Abraham Lincoln 16th president of the united state in a speech said: “We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.”

Brandon Morse contributor to RedState.com: . . . to Putin’s point, this abuse of America’s systems has removed the United States as any sort of moral authority for the political process. As it stands, American politicians are happy to be as underhanded and corrupt as they need to be in order to maintain power, making them not so different from the tyrannical dictators and authoritarians we denounce. Morally speaking, the only thing that separates Putin’s regime from the Democrat Party is a connection to Jeffrey Epstein…as far as we know.

J. Robert Smith contributor to American Thinker: Rumors about sparking a war with Russia aren’t centered on McCaul and other petting zoo Republicans, however. Democrats control the power – not just in D.C. but throughout major institutions, public and private. In terms of power, they’re close to their zenith. They don’t intend to forfeit that power without a brawl, someway, somehow. A conventional war with Russia would prove devastating enough. The possibility of accidental or deliberate escalation to nuclear war means cataclysm. Incredibly, among Democrats, RINOs, neocons, and the D.C. establishment, a belief is held that limited nuclear war with Russia could be won.

Silvio Canto, Jr. contributor to American Thinker: Once upon a time, it was so much fun being a sanctuary city.  It made you popular with immigration activists and the self-declared “enlightened” class. Suddenly, sanctuary cities are about dealing with migrants who accepted your invitation. As someone said on the TV, it’s like inviting a bunch of people for dinner and then realizing that you can’t pay the bill.

U.S. SUPREME COURT

Revolver.news: Forget the police, the left now has a plan to DEFUND the Supreme Court of the United States…

One thing we can say about the left is that they never stop cooking up evil plans to take down their enemies. And one of their biggest enemies right now is the Supreme Court of the United States and they’re doing everything in their power to stop the hight court who has delivered a few doozies to them lately, like the Roe v Wade ruling and the affirmative action ruling. Many believed that the left would push stacking the court, however that’s proving to be a dud. Americans don’t want to see that happen, so they’ve come up with a totally new way to cripple the court: DEFUND THEM. That’s right, the left has a brand-new trick up their sleeves: . . .

Morse: Putin Weighs In On the Trump Witch Hunt and Points Out a Sad Reality About America’s Political System

ADVERTISEMENT

Russian President Vladimir Putin naturally watches American politics with great interest, and this includes the ongoing attempt by Democrats to take down former President Donald Trump. In fact, according to a recent interview, he’s been watching that unfold with great interest. According to Putin, the American political system is in complete disarray as one party is corrupting the system in order to persecute its opponents, completely robbing America of any moral position it has on the world stage, and this is great news for Russia. “For us, what is happening in today’s conditions, in my opinion, is good,” said Putin. “Because it shows the rottenness of the American political system which cannot pretend to teach others about democracy,” he added to applause from a watching crowd.

UPDATE: TEXAS AG KEN PAXTON’S IMPEACHMENT TRIAL

Sundance: Tony Buzbee Destroys Another Paxton Impeachment Schemer, Gregg Cox

Buzbee has been chewing through the fraud and manipulation that stems from the Bush family effort to target Attorney General Ken Paxton. Democrats and authentic Republicans in Texas have been working together to keep the political system under their control. The long-term goal to turn the state blue is against the interests of the state residents, but that doesn’t stop the Bush family from trying. In this segment, Paxton attorney Tony Buzbee starts grinding the patina off the schemes the professional Republicans created in order to remove a non-compliant, non-Bush aligned, attorney general. It’s a good segment, very good.

BIDEN CRIME FAMILY

Mallory: Biden’s Niece, Ex-U.S. Treasury Employee, Informed Hunter On Chinese Sovereign Wealth Fund During Obama-Biden Admin.

While she worked in the Treasury Department during the Obama-Biden Administration, President Biden’s niece, Casey Owens, reportedly sent information on China Investment Corporation (CIC), China’s largest sovereign wealth fund, to Hunter Biden and the other president of his firm through email. When Owens spoke with Hunter and his longtime business partner, Eric Schwerin, about the CIC, a state-owned organization that oversees a portion of the Chinese government’s foreign exchange reserves, she was working as a special assistant for the United States-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue at the Treasury Department.

Whitehead: Death by a Thousand Cuts: The Many Ways Our Rights Have Been Usurped Since 9/11

Those who gave us the Constitution and the Bill of Rights believed that the government exists at the behest of its citizens. It is there to protect, defend and even enhance our freedoms, not violate them. Unfortunately, although the Bill of Rights was adopted as a means of protecting the people against government tyranny, in America today, the government does whatever it wants, freedom be damned. In the 22 years since the USA Patriot Act—a massive 342-page wish list of expanded powers for the FBI and CIA—was rammed through Congress in the wake of the so-called 9/11 terror attacks, it has snowballed into the eradication of every vital safeguard against government overreach, corruption and abuse. The Patriot Act drove a stake through the heart of the Bill of Rights, violating at least six of the ten original amendments—the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Amendments—and possibly the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments, as well. The Patriot Act also redefined terrorism so broadly that many non-terrorist political activities such as protest marches, demonstrations and civil disobedience are now considered potential terrorist acts, thereby rendering anyone desiring to engage in protected First Amendment expressive activities as suspects of the surveillance state. The Patriot Act justified broader domestic surveillance, the logic being that if government agents knew more about each American, they could distinguish the terrorists from law-abiding citizens—no doubt a reflexive impulse shared by small-town police and federal agents alike. This, according to Washington Post reporter Robert O’Harrow, Jr., was a fantasy that “had been brewing in the law enforcement world for a long time.” And 9/11 provided the government with the perfect excuse for conducting far-reaching surveillance and collecting mountains of information on even the most law-abiding citizen.

Cashill: JFK Is Easy, Now Do TWA Flight 800

Speaking of Kennedy, no single American has felt the sting of the Times’ historic disdain for so-called conspiracy theorists more than JFK’s legendary press secretary, Pierre Salinger. Unlike Landis, Salinger made the mistake of exposing a conspiracy that was very much in play when he exposed it.

I speak here of the case of TWA Flight 800. The 747 was en route from New York to Paris when it crashed off the coast of Long Island in July 1996, killing all 230 people on board. At the time, Salinger was working in Paris where the interest in TWA 800 was understandably high, 36 French citizens having died in the crash. With a likely assist from French intelligence, Salinger was put in touch with retired United Airline pilot and accident investigator Dick Russell. Russell had been suspicious about the cause of the crash since Pentagon spokesman Ken Bacon first announced it. Russell had been around long enough to know that civilian plane crashes were not the natural bailiwick of the Defense Department. Having gathered information through his own network of aviation insiders, Russell sent a summary e-mail to his associates with the message, “TWA Flight 800 was shot down by a U.S. Navy guided missile ship which was in area W-105. It has been a cover-up from the word go.” Although recipients had vowed to keep the information among themselves, one of them posted the information on the internet, and it somehow found its way to Salinger.

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA’S AMERICA LAST REGIME: THE FUNDAMENTAL TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICA

Whedon: Income dropped, poverty soared under Biden: Census Bureau

Despite the Biden administration’s efforts to tout the alleged successes of “Bidenomics,” a report from the United States Census Bureau has revealed that many Americans saw their economic situation deteriorate dramatically in the first half of Biden’s term. While the official poverty rate hovered around 11.5% in both 2021 and 2022, according to the report, the Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM) increased 4.6% in 2022 to reach 12.4%, marking the first overall increase in that metric since 2010. In total, 37.9 million Americans lived in poverty in 2022. The report partially attributed the increase to the expiration of tax credits credits and pandemic stimulus payments. Income, meanwhile, dropped across an array of metrics. Real median household income declined by

Barnes: America is Headed for a Venezuela Style Economy and Government

Do you remember the days when a vacation to Venezuela was one of the best prizes you could win on The Price Is Right? If so, you may be surprised that such a thriving nation could be brought to its knees almost overnight. Sadly, if the wrong combination of events line up, even the greatest nation on Earth can be brought down, leading to utter chaos for its citizens. By looking at the unraveling of Venezuela’s economy and government, we can see which events contributed to the collapse and heed the warnings they offer for our own nation. As preppers, this information can make it easier to clarify goals and make it easier to gauge how much time is left before a similar disaster occurs in the United States. Economic Failure Can Be Hidden by Media Spin and Statistics. When it comes to profitable, tangible assets at the national level, few things can rival oil. Even though the price of oil has gone down, it remains the lifeblood of industry and consumer-based activities. Despite Venezuela having the largest oil reserve on Earth, Venezuela’s looming collapse was well hidden by media spin and statistics.

(Excellent piece) VDH: The Frightened Left

An impeachment inquiry looms and the shrieks of outrage are beginning. The Left is now suddenly voicing warnings that those who recently undermined the system could be targeted by their own legacies. So, for example, now we read why impeachment is suddenly a dangerous gambit. True, the Founders did not envision impeaching a first-term president the moment he lost his House majority. Nor did they imagine impeaching a president twice. And they certainly did not anticipate trying an ex-president in the Senate as a private citizen. In modern times, the nation has not rushed to impeach a president without a special counsel investigation to determine whether the chief executive was guilty of “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” But thanks to the Democrats, recent impeachments now have destroyed all those guardrails. […] But weaponizing impeachment is just one baleful legacy of the Left. There are plenty more of their own precedents that Leftists now would not wish to have applied to themselves:

  • Will the next president have the FBI pay social media censors to suppress the dissemination of any news it feels is unhelpful to the reelection of a Republican president?
  • Is it OK now for the next Vice President to invite his son onto Air Force Two to cement multimillion dollars deals that benefit both, with Chinese, Russian, and Ukrainian oligarchs who enjoy government ties?
  • Should a conservative billionaire stealthily insert $419 million late in the 2024 campaign to absorb the work of registrars in key voting precincts?
  • If a Democratic president wins the 2024 election should conservative groups riot at the Capitol on Inauguration Day? Should a conservative celebrity yell out to the assembled crowd of protestors that she dreams of blowing up the White House? And if a Republican wins, should he prosecute any Democratic rioters who once again swarm Washington on Inauguration Day and charge them with “insurrection,” meting out long prisons sentences to the convicted?

DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: CHILDREN ARE THE TARGET OF THE DARKNESS AFFECTING OUR NATION

Starnes: Sen. Kennedy Stuns Nation By Reading Porn Available in School Libraries

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) shocked the nation when he read passages from two pornographic books “Gender Queer” and “All Boys aren’t Blue” that are available to school children across the country. The words and actions described in the book are so vile I cannot repeat them.

Widburg: When is a child not a child? When sick sex is involved

It’s a story that’s garnered a lot of coverage: The Mayor of Burbank went to a drag event and volunteered his bottom for a public spanking. That was sleazy. Shockingly, the event was open to teenagers 15 and older. However, the leftists involved, from the mayor on down, defended what happened by saying those 15 and older aren’t children. Instead, they’re adults. Consider, though, that leftists insist that people are children into their late teens and even late 20s for purposes of gun ownership, gun violence, and insurance. Apparently, like everything else in the leftist lexicon, word meanings are infinitely malleable to support their policies. […] Saying that young people barely into their teens aren’t children is par for the course for leftists when it comes to sex. After all, California assemblyman Scott Weiner successfully introduced a bill, which Gavin Newsom signed, saying that people who have been convicted of “non-forcible” sex (oral or anal) with a minor 14 or older, if the offender is no more than 10 years older than the victim, shouldn’t have to register as a sex offender. California is also all in on removing parental involvement in their children’s sex lives generally, whether it’s making birth control and abortion available to minors, or shutting parents out of the room when their child goes to the doctor for any reason.

Montellaro & Mutnick: Dems inch toward House majority with recent court wins

The fundamentals of the 2024 campaign are still taking shape, but one thing is already clear: A flurry of court actions might cost Republicans the House majority. In the past nine days, state and federal judges threw out two congressional maps — and helped Democrats avoid a worst-case scenario in Ohio — kicking off an unusually busy redistricting calendar heading into the election year. All told, a dozen or more seats across at least six states could be redrawn, increasing the likelihood Democrats could chip away the five-seat GOP House majority through redistricting alone. Democrats could pick up an extra seat in each of a handful of states, including Florida, Alabama and Louisiana, and perhaps several more in New York. Republicans could still pick up as many as four seats in North Carolina, but the recent rulings put Democrats in a position to offset those losses — and then some.

Pearce: Democrat AG Rebuffs NM Governor, Refuses To Defend Gun Carry Ban In Court

Torrez told the governor in a letter Tuesday that he believed the emergency order, which temporarily bans people from carrying firearms in public spaces across Bernalillo County, violated the state and federal constitutions. Because of that, he said his office would not defend the governor against several legal challenges. “I am writing to inform you that my office will not defend your administration in the above referenced cases challenging” Lujan Grisham’s order, Torrez wrote. “Though I recognize my statutory obligation as New Mexico’s chief legal officer to defend state officials when they are sued in their official capacity, my duty to uphold and defend the constitutional rights of every citizen takes precedence,” his letter continued. “Simply put, I do not believe that the Emergency Order will have any meaningful impact on public safety but, more importantly, I do not believe it passes constitutional muster.”

Greenfield: NYC Pays Al Qaeda Terror State $200M to Rent Hotel Rooms to Illegal Aliens

Paying for your own destruction. The Roosevelt Hotel claims that it’s the place “where classic elegance meets contemporary luxury”. Classic elegance and luxury at the midtown Manhattan hotel looks like busloads of migrant invaders arriving and camping outside the golden doors. The scene is no better inside where 41 migrants have been arrested for beating wives, girlfriends and significant others. There have also been assaults on employees and an arrest for child endangerment. While the Roosevelt Hotel may have an old name, Mayor Eric Adams and New York City actually leased it from Pakistan for $220 million. That amounts to paying $210 per room for each night that an illegal alien invader uses it to smoke meth or abuse their wives and daughters. […] Pakistan International Airlines, under the control of the terror state’s government, was barred from flying directly to the United States after 9/11, it was allowed to take over the hotel and run it into the ground. The Biden administration has since allowed PIA to resume direct flights. The Pakistani government harbored Osama bin Laden. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had initiated negotiations with Al Qaeda and offered to “reestablish normal relations.” Former Prime Minister Imran Khan, nicknamed ‘Taliban Khan’, had called Bin Laden a “martyr”. […] Beyond Pakistan, other foreign business interests are also benefiting from the foreign invasion. Chinese developer Jubao Xie, who put up the world’s tallest Holiday Inn in Manhattan, got $190 a night, $93,000 a day and $2.8 million a month to house the invaders. The skyscraper hotel, . . .

INTERNATIONAL

Puder: Palestinian Terror Rising

Organized Palestinian terror is back to haunt Israeli civilians. In fact, 2023 has been the most lethal year in terms of terror and casualties since 2005, the last year of the Second Intifada. While in the intervening years, terror was essentially committed by individual Palestinians whether by knifing, or car ramming, the current terror unleashed by Palestinian terrorists is organized. It includes a central command of terrorists affiliated with Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah. Most of the recent terror actions have taken place in Judea and Samaria. The Hamas leadership in Gaza is behind the organized campaign. In recent weeks, the Jewish state has been challenged by a strategic turnaround in the way Palestinian terrorists are waging their deadly actions in Judea and Samaria. Although the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have been able to deal seemingly well with the terrorist pockets in places such as Jenin, Nablus, and Tulkarem, it is very clear that there has been an elevated threat to Israelis in terms of the frequency and quality of the terrorist attacks. The change that is occurring in the new Palestinian terror campaign in Judea and Samaria (West Bank) is being expressed in its new sense of purpose, the use of weapons, organization, and fighting spirit, and it has generated an armed uprising. The barely functioning Palestinian Authority (PA) and the feebleness and corruption of its leader Mahmoud Abbas is one contributing factor in the rise of the organized terror campaign. The perceived weakness of Israel’s political leadership, and the turbulence within Israeli society as a result of the chaos caused by the months-old demonstrations by the Israeli left seeking to topple the right-leaning Netanyahu government, using the pretext of the Judicial Reforms, is yet another. The goal of the new Palestinian terror campaign is to force Israel to withdraw from Judea and Samaria in the same way Hezbollah in Lebanon unleashed terror, which allegedly forced Israel to withdraw from Lebanon. Hamas would have you believe that Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip because of Hamas’ resistance.
