More Games In The Sham Impeachment
Feb 13, 2021 2020 Election, Commentary, Tyranny
The trial portion of the President Donald Trump impeachment was expected to wrap up today. Congressman Jamie Raskin of Maryland was not expected to call any witnesses. In fact, he indicated previously that he did not want to do so. All of the sudden, there is information that they need to get to the bottom of. There is a new, not new revelation from Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler that Trump was aware of what was going on and refused to help.
The reason that this is not a new revelation is that she indicated this was her reason for voting to impeach Trump. She is one of only ten Republicans who did so.
This is not new. She said this for over a month now. If the Democrats had actually held a proper impeachment hearing they could have called her as a witness and asked her what took place. Instead, they rushed to judgement and now the impeachment managers are left to find evidence at trial. According to Herrera Beutler, Kevin McCarthy called Trump as the mostly peaceful protest was going on and told the President he needed to call his supporters off. When told by Trump that these were Antifa (Antifa involvement is something most news articles describe as discredited), McCarthy told him, no these are your people. It is then that Trump is alleged to have said “Well Kevin, I guess they are more upset about the election than you are.”
It looks like the Kavanaugh hearing debacle all over. Wait until you are ready to wrap up and see if you are losing. If you are, then call in a witness and bring new allegations.
Here are some problems I see.
It is possible this took place as described. Going on TV or sending Tweets would not have stopped any of the mostly peaceful protests. The people inside the building were not watching TV or reading tweets. Besides, when Trump did tweet that day Twitter removed his tweets. He called for calm and those tweets were removed.
Trump is not in charge of the Capitol police or the DC National Guard. Congress is in charge of the police and the DC Mayor is in charge of the guard. President Trump offered extra help in the days leading up to January 6th and was told no extra help was needed. Mayor Bowser said she had it all under control. Trump has a duty to act if the country is being attacked but when this went down it was nothing more than a riot, the same kind of riot that took place against the White House in the summer. The same kind the left refused help for and cried when pepper spray was used. A riot is under the purview of the police (and/or the National Guard).
Herrera Beutler has no first hand knowledge. Since the beginning when she asserted this incident as her reason to vote to impeach she has stated that McCarthy TOLD her what Trump said. She did not hear it for herself and has no idea what was actually said.
It reminds me of a joke where a Texas Ranger was chasing a Mexican bandit who had stolen a lot of money in a robbery. As the Ranger gained on him the bandit threw the money down an abandoned well. The Ranger caught up to him and asked where the money was but the Mexican bandit only spoke Spanish and the Ranger did not. A man was riding by and the Ranger asked him if he spoke Spanish and he indicated he did. He said ask this guy where he put the money. The reply was I am not telling. So the Ranger pulls his pistol and points it at the bandit’s head and says, tell him if he does not tell me, right now, where that money is I am going to blow his brains all over the desert then he cocks the hammer. The man tells him and the Mexican bandit says, in Spanish, tell him not to shoot, please, I have a family, tell him the money is an that abandoned well over there. With that the interpreter looks at the Ranger and says, he said go ahead and shoot he is not telling you.
Without actually hearing what was said (and understanding it) one cannot possibly give a first hand accounting.
They could call McCarthy but he did not vote to impeach and he has not made any statements, that we are aware of, that Trump said what has been reported.
Even if Trump said it that is not an impeachable offense. How could he possibly stop what was going on? I indicated earlier that if he went on TV no one would see it and no one was reading tweets but his were being taken down anyway.
Do we now impeach Obama because he incited Ferguson and did nothing to get them to stop? Do we impeach Harris and a whole slew of Democrats because they incited and encouraged riots all summer and then did nothing to stop them?
We have police officers to maintain law and order. It looks like the Capitol Police failed in doing that. Funny thing is when police departments were told to stand down and when politicians across the country refused to stop riots (and refused help from Trump) these were seen as good things. But let the police stand down in the Capitol and it is quite another.
As for the claim being made by the propaganda media that Antifa was not involved and this has been debunked, well you can add that to the list of other issues they have been gaslighting you on. Free and fair elections, no cheating took place, Joe Biden is not suffering from dementia, etc.
Antifa was there. Antifa started and instigated the riot. The video footage the House Impeachment Managers are showing as evidence was recorded by a member of Antifa and he happens to be one of the first people arrested in connection with it. There are videos of Antifa members changing out of Trump gear, rioting and then changing back into Trump gear. There were certainly supporters of the president in the Capitol. The video I saw of them has them walking around taking pictures like they are on a tour. The Antifa and others I saw were damaging things and causing trouble. That is not to say that some of the folks who were causing trouble were not Trump supporters. It was not ALL them as the left and its media wing would have you believe.
I do wonder though. What happens if the defense attorneys take depositions from people who were arrested that day or who were on film that day and they say that they were incited by [enter name of Democrat here]. Will the focus be changed? Will they go after that person?
After the beating the Impeachment Managers took yesterday, one that had Alan Dershowitz saying the defense had won the case, they had to come up with something. You can always count on them dragging a hooker or a reprobate, or someone less honorable like a member of Congress, from someplace and changing the focus on some invented act. None of that changes the fact that Trump did not cause it and he had no method to stop it. And if it was a riot, as was reported, it was up to the police and/or the National Guard to stop it.
They are trying hard but I doubt this will stop anything. I doubt they will get 17 people to convict when they have already said it was unconstitutional.
As for the four or five Republican Senators who voted to move forward with witnesses, your time will come. We will work hard to remove you from office and replace you with someone who has a spine.

Worst Bill Evah?
Dec 5, 2017 Political, Tyranny
Nancy Pelosi is screaming about the tax reform bill making its way through the Congressional sausage machine and she is not happy. When she is able to put words together and express a semi cogent thought she manages to rant about the tax bill being the worst ever. Yes, San Fran Nan is upset with the bill because, get this, it will add to the deficit and it will get rid of the Obamacare mandate. According to the dim bulb known as Pelosi, this will cause Armageddon. It will result is a lot of deaths.
Best I can tell from the news is that all human life on the planet will be extinguished when the tax bill becomes a law.
Good thing Democrats are not dramatic…
So Nancy Pelosi is worried about the debt. First of all there is no concrete evidence that the tax bill will cause the debt to rise. There are some reports but these are by the same organizations who told us Obamacare would save us money and was debt neutral. Obamacare is raising the debt and 2.2 TRILLION dollars looks like the net added to our ever growing debt. The reality is if taxes are cut more people will get to keep more of their money to spend and that will be great for the economy which will in turn get revenue flowing to Treasury.
The problem is not in tax cuts but in spending. Congress and the rest of the establishment government absolutely refuse to cut spending. If more revenue comes in they will spend even more. This has been demonstrated time and again and most recently during the Obama reign of terror. Record amounts of money were paid into the Treasury in many months and our debt still went up. Each time there is more money the government can’t resist spending it and more. This is one major reason our debt increases. Couple this with the fact that a lot of money is spent on programs that the government has no Constitutional power to be involved in and one can see why we continue to owe more money.
The national debt doubled under Obama. We went from just about 10 TRILLION dollars when Bush left office to just about 20 TRILLION when Obama left office. Nancy Pelosi and every other worthless liberal Democrat screaming about the debt were in office when this happened. They happily raised the debt ceiling, happily spent more and happily looked away as out debt continued to rise. Their concern now is nothing more than political theater. If Hillary Clinton had won (perish the thought) they Democrats would be pushing for more and more spending and more and more debt. They are absolute hypocrites.
Which puts me on to the next item. Brain dead Pelosi claims this is the worst bill in the history of Congress. I guess she is even including all the racist Democrat Jim Crow bills that became law and harmed the black population of our nation. Democrats were responsible and Democrat Pelosi thinks allowing YOU to keep more of YOUR money is worse than bills designed to keep blacks oppressed.
[note]You folks who pay no taxes don’t get to scream about who benefits because you have been benefiting all along as the rest of us paid and continue to pay your way.[/note]
Obamacare is one of the worst legislative pieces ever produced. It enslaved people, caused them harm, caused them increases in what they spend and forced them to buy a product whether they wanted it or not. It did this by forcing some tax payers to pay for others (in addition to their own) and it forced people to buy insurance or be fined (or taxed if you are John Roberts). It added to the national debt, resulted in people losing coverage and doctors they were promised they could keep and it did little more than make most people slaves to the government.
Nancy, the tax bill allows those of us who earn money and pay taxes to keep more of what we earn and pay less to the government. THIS IS NOT A BAD THING. It is certainly not the worst bill ever.
Unless of course your life revolves around waiting for your taxpayer funded handouts…

Boehner And McConnell Are Ineffective Cowards
Mar 3, 2015 Commentary
Give us control and we will stop Obama and his illegal orders on immigration. We will take the fight to him for you. We have the House but we need the Senate or we can’t do anything. Give us the Senate and things will be different.
Yes, the lip service John Boehner and Mitch McConnell gave us before the election was right on and they said all the right things. There were many of us who pushed for both of them to face a primary opponent to get rid of them. But folks like Ann Coulter (who I happen to love) said we can’t do that because getting control was most important and if we lost McConnell’s seat then we might not get the Senate and that is what we needed.
Well, we gave them the Senate and they are doing the same thing they did when they were in the minority. They are bending over and letting the Democrats have their way with them. The Republicans in the Senate are acting like they are in the minority by letting Reid and the Democrats run all over them and Boehner is caving to the Senate and giving them what they want.
But Big Dog, the Democrats are blocking the Senate with tactics and it is hard work.
Yes, I know the Democrats are doing all the very things they screamed and threw fits about when they were in the majority. They hated when Republicans did these things but they found ways around them. McConnell is not quite bright enough to do it the way Reid did.
So he will just bend over and take it like a jailhouse punk.
Here is what McConnell should have done. He should have changed the rules so that only 51 votes were needed to pass the legislation. Then it would pass and be sent to Obama who would have to sign it or veto it. If he vetoed it he AND HE ALONE would have been responsible for shutting down the DHS (which would not really shut down because they are mission essential). McConnell did not have the guts to do that even though Harry Reid did it and it was accepted by Democrats. They would have to accept it if McConnell did it and anyone who screamed could be reminded that they were warned that it would one day come back to bite them in their large asses.
Boehner could have slid his wretched self out of the bottom of a bourbon glass long enough to make it clear he would not change his position. He could have coached McConnell to use the Reid option and get it done. These two could have had a united front.
Instead they were both too busy worrying about what people might think of the process.
Screw how people feel. There is an out of control Executive who is ignoring the Constitution. He has become a tyrant and the supposed leaders of the Republicans in Congress are letting him get away with it.
It leads me to believe that they want this illegal action on immigration to go through. Yes, they say it is in the court but there is no guarantee the court will uphold the law. The tyrants in the black robes are as bad as the tyrant in the White House. They are all part of the downfall and they need to be stopped.
But Boehner and McConnell are not up to the job. They said they were. They begged us to give them the job. They promised they would do these things.
And in the end all we have are two ineffective cowards who are too busy applying Vasoline to do their jobs.
Obama will not stop here. He is already working on ways to use Executive Orders to raise taxes (first on corporations but it will not stop there). This will be a blatant violation of the Constitution but Boehner and McConnell have already shown they are not up to the task. They will not stop the tyrant Obama.
We will be taxed without representation. Does that sound familiar? It should. That is what led 3% of this nation to fight the Brits for Independence.
A hell of a lot more that 3% are fed up in this country and it is now quite obvious that Boehner and McConnell are impotent. We gave them a chance and they failed.
The only solution to the tyranny lies in the hands of the patriots.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security ~ from the US Declaration of Independence [emphasis added]
It is our birthright, it is our duty and it is our destiny to unshackle the bonds placed by an oppressive and tyrannical government and to form new one. Our Founders did just that and they did it over a lot less than what is going on now.
The time is coming because Obama and the rest of the lawbreakers have put us on a collision course. I pray to God that we avoid such a situation but Boehner and McConnell have shown us they are nothing more than different wings of the same bird and they do not have the interest of the American people at heart.
They are cowards who lack the ability to stand up for what is right. We need some real leadership to step forward or I fear this nation is headed for major unrest.
For now we are stuck with these two impotent twerps who have betrayed us. My friends, please do not donate to the Republican party. Screw them. Keep your money and do something useful with it. These pricks will just take you for a ride and dump you in the desert.
Starve the beast and the next time pundits tell you it is more important to gain control than to get rid of bad politicians remind them of these two and how ineffective they are even with the majority.
Dear John and Mitch, my contact form is on this page. Reach out if you want some pointers on how to man up
Democrats, you are not off the hook. You criminals backed the illegal action and you put party before country. In a just world you would hang for your treason. Fear not, if the world were just many Republicans would be swinging next to you.

De Blasio And Sharpton Are Not To Blame
Dec 23, 2014 Commentary
A lot of finger pointing is going on right now over the murder of two New York police officers. Many folks point out that Mayor De Blasio and Al Sharpton fueled the flames of discontent and have blood on their hands or are responsible for the murders.
While it is true that these two (among many) are guilty of fanning the flames they are not to blame for the murders. The sole blame lies with the murderer who took it upon himself to pull the trigger.
I know it is common to point fingers and assign blame when these things happen but the reality is the person who actually did the bad thing is the one responsible. The liberals are very adept at assigning blame when things go badly and this is particularly true with regard to Sharpton and De Blasio. When a nut job shoots up a school these two join many other liberal morons to assign blame to firearms and the Second Amendment and then insist we need more gun control.
Second Amendment supporters rightly point out that responsibility lies with the shooter but the left will harp on more gun control. Even in this case the NAACP is out claiming the murders of the two cops demonstrates the need for more gun control. New York already has terribly strict gun control and it was made even tougher after the Newtown shootings.
Interestingly, Al Sharpton, who is ALWAYS ready to blame someone else, is claiming that he and the others are not to blame for this and that he is receiving threats because of the murders (Al claiming victimhood, say it isn’t so).
While I would not be upset if the reaper visited Sharpton I do not think he is to blame for these murders but I find it funny that when he is the one receiving the blame he immediately dismisses that thought.
Think about how Sharpton works. When a white cop shoots a black person it is societal racism and all cops are bad. The system is rigged. No matter what it is when things in society negatively involve black people Sharpton (the NAACP and other race organizations as well as the liberal overlords) blame everyone and everything else for the problem.
The murder of these two New York police officers was the act of one person. It matters not what influenced him or why he did it the fact remains HE alone is responsible for doing it.
The sad thing is these murders could very well result in more police involved shootings. Think about it for a moment. The cops in New York and around the country are going to be even more vigilant. They will be on high alert and will respond even more quickly to perceived threats. Any item in a potential threat’s hands will look like a gun or other weapon and the cops will shoot first and ask questions later. How many people will get shot by police simply because they did not want to take a chance, in light of this incident, that the person with whom they interacted was a crazed cop killer?
How many people who might have a legitimate beef with the police and their tactics will be dismissed because of the acts of this lone gunman? People have a right to protest (so long as they are peaceful and do not infringe on the rights of others) but how many of these people will be dismissed, harassed or associated with the cop killer simply because of this one person who murdered cops?
There are about 40,000 police officers in New York City. It is likely they will close ranks and go into protective mode so as to avoid more of these incidents by crazed people.
There are certainly bad cops and they need to be rooted out. Part of the problem is that the good cops remain silent and the legal system is set up to protect its own so it is very difficult to get rid of those who should not be cops. The act of this lone gunman however, will put this issue on a back burner and the focus will be on the cops who are now victims in the issue.
There are very few instances where citizens should shoot police officers (sorry but cops are not the absolute good in the world and people have rights they are allowed to protect) but those cases would be rare (though not as rare as they should be) and the absolute reality is murder is wrong no matter who does it (cop or civilian alike).
Al Sharpton and Bill de Blasio are terrible people but they did not pull the trigger. Neither is fit to lead and no one should pay attention to them but they did not murder those cops.
Keep that in mind when there are discussions on gun control following a school or other shooting. The only one responsible is the shooter.
Ironically, the person who murdered those cops did so to avenge the deaths of two minorities at the hands of the police and in so doing he murdered two people who were minorities.
As an aside, gun control does not work and this was shown once again with the murders of these officers. New York has strict gun laws and the person who shot the cops should not have had a gun, but he did because criminals will always get guns.
Perhaps if the police unions and appointed police officials did not support gun control there would be a hell of a lot more armed good guys on the streets to help ensure safety (more good guys with guns is a force multiplier).
Al Sharpton is a reprehensible person and he is quick to blame everyone for problems. Michael Brown was a thug who robbed a store and attacked a cop but to Sharpton it was the system and the racist cops who are to blame. No, Brown is solely responsible for what happened to him just as the shooter of the cops is the person solely responsible for that crime.
De Blasio is equally reprehensible and his disdain for the police is not appropriate for someone who is supposed to be a leader (New York deserves who it elected though) but he did not commit the crime. He will be the first to blame others when things go badly but that is what separates most in society from his ilk.
It is called responsibility. These folks have none and they don’t expect it in others.
Cave canem!

Yes Virginia, There Is A Grinch
Dec 17, 2014 Political
The State of Virginia decided to elect ultra liberal Terry McAuliffe as its governor and the blame for this can be placed on the liberals up north in the state. These are the people who moved from DC and Maryland to escape the ruin of liberals only to fight for the things they left behind (and thus bringing ruin to their new digs).
McCauliffe is beholden to the anti gun crowd and Michael Bloomberg because of the money that poured in to get him elected. So now Terry is working to restrict gun owners.
Terry wants to reinstate the one handgun a month purchase limit that previously existed though there is no data to show that such a measure would provide any enhancement to public safety. There has not been a gun problem since the limit was removed. The only thing that happened is that Virginians had more freedom.
Terry also wants to have vendors at private gun shows run background checks and for the state to revoke the concealed carry permit of any parent who is delinquent in child support payments (which is not a violent crime by the way).
Fortunately, Virginia has a Republican controlled legislature so these measures will likely die a well deserved death.
But Terry has to try because he is in bed with the anti gun crowd.
Maybe the Virginia Legislature can remove funding for the armed guards who protect McAullife.
If he hates guns so much he certainly should not be forced to have armed guards walking all around him.
Remember, liberals are not anti their guns they are anti your guns. The elitists want their guns and armed guards so they have a fighting chance when the products of their liberal philosophies attack.
They want you, on the other hand, to be defenseless. That is another way for them to force people to depend on government.
And they know it will keep you from having the means to fight their tyranny.
Fight back Virginia. Don’t let this liberal puke take your rights away.
