It just doesn’t get better than this. Remember how the Biden Administration decided to prosecute grandmothers who dared pray outside abortion clinics.

The FACE Act allows judges to impose fines of up to $10,000 and six months of prison on first-time protesters engaging in nonviolent physical obstruction, such as sit-ins or blockades. Second convictions for these kinds of acts could see fines of up to $25,000 and jail time of up to 18 months. Additionally, the FACE Act allows federal conspiracy charges to be brought against defendants alongside the FACE Act violation itself. That means, in cases like the Surgi-Clinic one, defendants are charged with violating the FACE Act and conspiracy to violate the FACE Act, which carries a massive 10-year potential prison sentence on its own. These activists—who are dedicated to protecting human life—are now facing 11 years in federal prison if they receive the maximum sentence.

This was signed by Bill Clinton in May 1994. Abortion advocates were too busy rejoicing to notice something. Republicans would not approve the FACE act unless it also included protection for:

the use of physical force, threat of physical force, or physical obstruction to intentionally injure, intimidate, interfere with, or attempt to injure, intimidate, or interfere with any person who is exercising or trying to exercise their First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship,

Harmeet Dhillon mentioned possible violation of “The Klan Act.” She points out that “The Klan Act is a law that makes it illegal to terrorize and violate the civil rights of citizens.” She cited the fact that the Biden Administration used the act to target individuals who were protesting abortion.

The left-wing liberals who believe that the most precious human right is the right to abort an unborn child failed to consider the possibility of using the FACE act to punish people, well, like them. They have zero interest in listening to people who disagree with them. This is why people like Don Lemon never considered the possibility that the law they championed could be used against them. Oh, the irony.

This time they crossed a big very red line. Those abortion protestors weren’t occupying clinics, they were just protesting. But this crowd invaded a church, foolishly believing that people like Tim Walz and Jacob Frey are even capable of understanding federal law. Walz and Frey encouraged people like Don Lemon to do things they would not do. You don’t see either of them on the front lines assaulting ICE agents. Instead, they just foam at the mouth, protected by their Minnesota State Police protection detail. Even Tim Walz is questioning the wisdom of invading a church during a religious service. Now if Tim Walz realizes something is dumb, it is way beyond obvious.

Many of the people harassing ICE and trying to stop ICE from enforcing federal law are paid protestors. Others are people dumb enough to think this is a good idea. This difference is that while Biden was more than happy to jail people for protesting abortion, Trump is willing to jail people for obstructing ICE officers from enforcing federal law. While the usual suspects consider this political persecution by Trump, they miss the point. Trump has the law on his side, and that will soon become beyond obvious.  

What makes this even more delicious is that those who are so quick to lecture us regarding what is and is not fair are about to find out the reality of their delusional view of the world in the hardest way possible.

In addition, consider this. If Tim Walz orders the National Guard to defend Minnesota from Federal Officers executing federal law, at least some of them may listen to people like Mark Kelly advising them to disobey unlawful orders. This is easier to understand if the Federal Officers are wearing body armor, carrying weapons, and the U.S. Army is poised to provide assistance, if necessary.

As for geniuses like Don Lemon, in this case they may have violated “The Klan Act” without a Klu (clue).

The importance of an event can be clear, as with JFK’s assassination, or it may only be understood later when more information becomes known.

It is becoming increasingly obvious that January 6, 2021 was a significant day. For the past four years we have heard a constant drumbeat from the left wing of the Democrat Party, and malcontents like Elizabeth Cheney, and their supporting allies in the MSM. January 6^th was defined as the day when MAGA followers attempted to overthrow the government of the United States after being encouraged by the lies told by Donald Trump. We were told of the Capitol Police officers assaulted and killed. The FBI and the DOJ put on a nationwide organized search for anyone suspected of being in Washington D.C. We were told this was the worst threat to Democracy since the Civil War.

The truth, becoming more apparent every day, is that January 6^th, 2021 was an attempt to overthrow the government, it is just that the usual suspects got this completely backwards. It wasn’t an attempt by Donald Trump and his supporters to overthrow the government; it was an attempt to overthrow Donald Trump. Democrats and their supporters in the MSM are so filled with hatred for Donald Trump that they can’t even imagine reality. They are incapable of even considering the possibility of error. Yet, they are wrong about nearly everything that happened on January 6^th, 2021.

This started with the alleged dangerous lie by Donald Trump that the 2020 election had been stolen. We were told this had been thoroughly investigated and his allegations had been totally discredited. That, of course, is not true. The sad reality is that there wasn’t nearly enough time to investigate the 2020 election before the inauguration of Joe Biden. Now, more than four year later, we are just beginning to learn about just some of the significant questions. The more we learn, the more reason to seriously question that election.

But all you really need to know is this. The MSM flat out lied about what Trump did and said on January 6^th. Why? Because if they reported the truth, it destroyed their narrative. He asked his supporters to march “peacefully” over to Capitol Hill. More importantly, Trump had authorized the National Guard to protect the Capitol prior to January 6^th. You cannot reconcile that reality with pretending Trump tried to overthrow the government. The person who blocked the National Guard was Nancy Pelosi.

No Capitol Police officers were killed. One died from an un-related health issue. The only person killed was an unarmed civilian, shot by a Capitol Police officer. While some members of the crowd became unruly, there are also reports of the Capital Policy officers becoming unnecessarily violent with the crowd. If ICE Agents did in Minneapolis what Capitol Police did on January 6^th, there would be wide-spread anger. In addition, other Capitol Police officers were inviting people into the Capitol. There are pictures of people taking selfies inside the Capitol. There are also confirmed reports of numerous FBI agents and informants in the crowd and at least some reports that these were the people encouraging aggression.

But none of that matters if one just uses common sense. Although Democrats and the MSM like to claim white Supremacists are the source of all violence, that is obviously not true. All you need to do is look at the pictures in Minneapolis. Who is encouraging people to stop Ice agents from doing their job, who is suggesting that drivers’ license be removed from ICE agents? Who has threatened to call out the National Guard to stop ICE agents from enforcing laws passed by congress?

Now look for instances where MAGA crowds became violent. Contrast the response to Charlie Kirk being assassinated in cold blood and the death of George Floyd, from an overdose of numerous drugs with serious question as to whether the police officer(s) involved even contributed to his death. After George Floyd, people were encouraged to become angry, and the result was widespread violence. Following the death of Charlie Kirk, who was flat out assassinated, the groups mourning held a prayer service. There were no riots.

Yes ,January 6^th was a defining moment. It defined who is willing to hold fair and honest elections and honor the results, even if they don’t like them, and who is not. It explains who supports Voter ID and who does not. It provides perspective on who wants audited election results and who does not.

 Republicans hated Joe Biden. He spent 40% of his Presidency on vacation and seldom even tried to put in a full day. He was showing obvious signs of dementia,  which the MSM covered it up and Democrats ignored. But there were no riots to try and stop him from being President.

While I believe most Democrats are decent people who love this country, the leadership of the Democrat Party is the serious threat to Democracy. It was Barack Obama who weaponized the IRS against political opponents. When Richard Nixon even hinted at this, it was considered the crime of the century. When Barack Obama flat out did it, no one in the MSM or the Democrat Party cared and Republicans were too terrified about criticizing a Black President to say or do anything. Then when Barack Obama refused to honor the results of the 2016 election. He not only refused to provide for an orderly transfer of power, but he also literally sabotaged Donald Trump by releasing a classified intelligence brief, he knew was based on deliberately misleading information. The result was the “Russia Collusion” investigation, which kneecapped Trump for months, yet found zero evidence to support this hoax. During the four years from 2017 to 2021, Democrats tried to obstruct Donald Trump in every way possible. They even impeached him because he dared point out the truth about Joe Biden’s demand that Ukraine fire the prosecutor who was investigating his son Hunter, or Joe Biden would personally withhold about a $ billion in U.S. aid. Then he laughed and said, they fired him. Trump was impeached for saying something negative, even though true, about a potential political rival. Oh, the irony.

When was President, he opened the border and let millions of people enter with zero background checks. He ordered the DOJ and the FBI to investigate Trump and prosecute him, for something. He was prosecuted, in courts where no Republican has a chance, and convicted of non-existent crimes. He was even convicted of allegedly assaulting a woman, thirty years after the fact, in a dressing room at a New York store. No one noticed, and she never told anyone. She couldn’t even be sure in which year this allegedly happened.

During the 2020 election the MSM covered up the Hunter Biden laptop story. The deep state pretended this was a plant by Russia when they knew that couldn’t possibly be true. Numerous people who voted for Joe Biden said they would never have voted for him if they knew the laptop story was real. That alone was a conspiracy by the DOJ, the FBI, the Deep State, and the MSM to steal an election, but no one cared then and no one cares now.

It is just this stark. If Democrats, led by the current left-wing fanatics, gain power, there will never be another fair election in this country. Our Democracy, as we know it, will cease to exist. The people who represent the real threat to Democracy are those now shrieking at the top of their lungs in hatred of Donald Trump, falsely accusing him of doing the things they have actually done and will double down doing in the future. This is our defining moment.

Once again left-wing Democrats and their supporters in the MSM are on a desperate mission to destroy Donald Trump, without any regard to the consequences. There are many people who strongly believe that George Floyd was murdered by a racist white cop. It is no surprise that people believe this, that is the story told by the MSM since day one. The result was wide-spread rioting in Minneapolis and elsewhere. People were angry and outraged at racist white cops who routinely murder innocent black men. That is exactly what the left wanted and wants.

The fact is that it is far from certain that Darin Chauvin killed George Floyd. The following article from AP Fact check dated May 26, 2023 was designed to support the myth that Floyd was murdered. Read it for yourself.

George Floyd’s autopsy report is not new, does not say he died of an overdose | AP News

While the page says he had fentanyl and methamphetamine in his system, and did not have “life-threatening injuries,” the full report concludes Floyd died from “cardiopulmonary arrest,” not an overdose.

Following is some additional “analysis” by the MSM in the same article:

“Independent experts have previously told the AP that underlying medical problems and drug use revealed in the autopsy report don’t change the conclusion that Floyd’s death was a homicide, explaining that these conditions simply made it more likely that he would not fare well under stress.

They have also noted that the fact that no major bruising or damage to the muscles, cartilage or bones in the neck was found — as indicated under the phrase “no life-threatening injuries identified” in the autopsy — does not mean that asphyxia did not occur. Only that there are no signs of it on the body.”

There is no doubt that George Floyd had a ton of drugs in his system. There is no doubt that he died. There is no doubt that Derick Chauvin was leaning on him when he died. But what the media ignored is that police were called because Floyd used a counterfeit $20 bill at Cup Foods in Minneapolis. The 911 call said he was sitting in his vehicle, appeared to be intoxicated. The following article in Newsweek included the actual transcription of that 911 call:

Why Was George Floyd Arrested? Police Release 911 Call That Led to His Death – Newsweek

“Um someone comes our store and give us fake bills, and we realize it before he left the store, and we ran back outside, they was sitting on their car. We tell them to give us their phone, put their (inaudible) thing back and everything and he was also drunk and everything and return to give us our cigarettes back and so he can, so he can go home but he doesn’t want to do that, and he’s sitting on his car cause he is awfully drunk and he’s not in control of himself.”

Chauvin guilty of murder and manslaughter in Floyd’s death | AP News

President Joe Biden welcomed the verdict, saying Floyd’s death was “a murder in full light of day, and it ripped the blinders off for the whole world” to see systemic racism.

But what they never reported is what really happened when police first confronted George Floyd. Following is actual video from police officer’s body cams showing the entire transaction.

Police Body-Camera Footage Reveals New Details of George Floyd Killing

This shows police confronting George Floyd and talking him into leaving his car. Floyd was sitting on the ground, handcuffed. While he was being arrested, police were not overly aggressive. But when they tried to put him in the police car, he became aggressive and started resisting arrest. It took several officers to get him on the ground. They finally got him on the ground, and under control. In the meantime, a crowd of angry spectators had gathered, with cell phones, screaming at police. At one point Derek Chauvin has his knee on George Floyd’s neck or shoulder. If you look at this video, Chauvin is leaning on Floyd, but he doesn’t appear to be particularly angry. At some point, Floyd died.

Now one may argue that Chauvin shouldn’t have knelt on Floyd. One could argue that this action contributed to Floyd’s death. Although looking at the autopsy, it is far from certain that the actions taking by Chauvin even caused Floyd’s death.

But none of that mattered. The truth didn’t matter. All that mattered is that people on the left wanted this to be murder by a racist white cop. They wanted people to protest violently. Black Lives Matter seized the day and there were violent riots all over the country, including in Washington D.C. Even today, far too many people believe that George Floyd was strangled to death by a racist white cop. This is because that is what left-wing Democrats and the MSM wanted and want you to believe. They wanted the anger. They wanted the violence. The only real question is why? If you were looking for a case where a vicious racist white cop killed an innocent black man for no reason, this wasn’t it. It wasn’t even close. But it was the best they had, so they went with it. And far too many people fell for this.

Now, they are doing the exact same thing regarding this unfortunate incident in Minneapolis. The reality is that these two women, both of whom were there to harass ICE agents, got into a confrontation with someone who not only was armed, but he was also pointing a gun at them. That is a recipe for disaster. One can argue all day long whether the police officer acted properly or not, that is not really the issue. The real issue is who thought it was a good idea to encourage people to confront armed ICE agents?

It is increasingly clear that there is a nationwide movement, funded by someone, to harass ICE agents and stop them from doing their job. This is well organized and moves quickly. They want anger. They want violence.

There are no good options here. If Trump tells ICE to back down, he will be giving a free pass to millions of illegal aliens. But if he doesn’t tell ICE to back down, there will be more of these incidents, more horrible encounters, and more violence.

The bottom line is that the left-wing wish list had ICE killing someone. The circumstances didn’t really matter. The facts didn’t matter. They just wanted someone to die. They wanted ICE to be involved and they were counting on the MSM to pounce and give full throated support to the myth that ICE is murdering people, because that is what the MSM always does.

But there is something else to keep in mind. Although left-wing Democrats and their supporters in the MSM think they are controlling the narrative, that may not be true anymore. I question how many people, other than the usual suspects, were impressed by Governor Tim Walz or Mayor Jacob Frey. The MSM is shredding viewers. Notice how quickly Hilton terminated the franchise of the Minneapolis hotel that refused to book rooms for ICE agents. They didn’t do this because they love ICE, it was because they hate losing money. They were far more concerned about the people who actually stay in hotels, you know like people with jobs, than the unemployed malcontents who have time to stand around and scream silly slogans.

The real question is will people stupidly vote for Democrats, because Democrats do dumb and irresponsible things? Always remember that although these violent protests get a ton of news coverage, including from Fox News, they really don’t involve very many people. Yes, there were riots and protest following the death of George Floyd. But Trump won by a landslide in 2024 and he also won the majority of votes nationwide. Democrats should be careful what they wish for.

TDM

Note: If you were wondering how someone like Jacob Frey, was elected Mayor of Minneapolis read the following:

2025 Mayor – City of Minneapolis

“This was a ranked-choice voting (RCV) race. Voters were asked to rank up to 3 different candidates.

After two rounds of tabulation, Jacob Frey was elected.”

Sometimes one wonders if the MSM even listens to its own broadcasts. If you watched any of the MSM news outlets yesterday you could believe an ICE agent shot a woman in cold blood for absolutely no reason. The situation was truly awful, and no one likes to see someone shot and killed. But it much worse when the usual suspects seize the day for political purposes. Once again, the liberal left and their fawning supporters in the MSM rushed to the microphone to exploit any tragedy for political purposes.

The reality is really this simple. ICE agents are there to enforce federal law. Law passed by congress. Law that says if you entered the country illegally, we could deport you. Seems simple. But the liberal left has decided that the law doesn’t matter. They can’t even bring themselves to say “illegal alien” they say undocumented person.

The mayor of Minneapolis rushed to the nearest microphone and declared the ICE agent guilty without bothering to see any actual evidence. He then told ICE agents to get the F out of Minneapolis. Nice. Fortunately, there are multiple videos of the event. While this is still under investigation, somethings are already obvious. The car in question was parked cross ways in the road in an obvious attempt to block ICE agents. There are numerous reports that this vehicle has been stalking ICE agents all day long. The passenger in the car was outside the car filming everything on her cell phone. Agents approached the car and told the driver to get out. Instead ,the driver backed up a couple of feet and then surged ahead. There was an ICE agent directly in front of the car. I still don’t know how he avoided getting killed. He pulled his gun and shot the driver. He was still hit by the car with a glancing blow. There is a bullet hole, in the car windshield, clearly showing that the bullet was fired from in front of the vehicle.

But this tragic incident is only part of the story. The real problem is that Democratic politicians have been demonizing ICE agents daily. They are calling them the Gestapo. They are accusing them of kidnapping people. They are called a threat to democracy. There are certainly some cases where ICE agents overplayed their hand, which is true of every law enforcement agency. But we ask these people to do things we don’t want to do. Some of the people here illegally are dangerous criminals not overly interested in cooperating. We can assume most people living here illegally are not enthusiastic about being picked up by ICE. But that does not make ICE the Gestapo and the demonization of people doing their jobs is making things extremely dangerous for everyone, especially ICE agents.

I just wish one reporter had asked Tim Walz one obvious question. Do you have any mirrors in your home? If you want to see the person most responsible for the unfortunate death of this young woman, look in a mirror. You have been trashing ICE and encouraging people to fight back and resist ICE. What, exactly, did you expect. If people like Tim Walz and Gavin Newsom weren’t telling people to fight back against ICE, these tragedies would be extremely rare. Instead, there is a nationwide network of left-wing activists on a mission to stop ICE, at any cost. Sadly, at least some of these people believe the nonsense being fed to them by Democratic politicians and the MSM.

This begs the question, why? Tim Walz provides a clue. He had to give up running for re-election as American’s dumbest governor because of rampant fraud in Minnesota. He is desperate to change the topic anyway he can.

It won’t work. The people who are on to him are not intimidated, they are motivated. This will not result in silly speeches or meaningless gestures. It will consist of highly skilled and dedicated prosecutors, not people like Jack Smith trying to score political points, but real prosecutors focused on investigating and presenting a case that will put bad people where they belong, behind bars.

The Walz are really starting to close in, not on Donald Trump, not on ICE, but rather on Democratic politicians who have become so accustomed to benefiting from systemic corruption and fraud that they became complacent, and, sloppy. They are so used to the MSM helping to cover-up the obvious that they thought they were above the law. Wrong. The real ICE age is coming, and things are starting to warm up in ways that the rest of us can finally enjoy.

Perhaps, just perhaps, authorities have finally identified the person who killed two people and wounded eleven others at Brown University. If someone in Hollywood wrote this script, it would be rejected as too bizarre to be true. It appears the actual shooter committed suicide in Salem, New Hampshire. According to law enforcement personnel, his body was found in a storage container.

His name is Claudio Manuel Neves Valente. He was a former student at Brown. There are reports that he also killed MIT Professor Nuno Louriero in Brookline, Massachusetts. The key information came from, “John” a homeless man, had been apparently living in a boiler room at Brown.

How an anonymous Reddit tipster helped the FBI find the Brown shooting suspect | The Independent

“I’m being dead serious. The police need to look into a grey Nissan with Florida plates, possibly a rental. This was the car he was driving. It was parked in front of the little shack behind the Rhode Island Historical Society on the Cooke St. side. I know because he used his key fob to open the car, approached it and then something prompted him to back away. When he backed away, he relocked the car. I found that odd, so when he circled the car that is when I saw the Florida plates. He was parked in the section between the gate of the RIHS and the corner of Cooke and George St.”

Then there is “Rodney Chatman”. Brown’s vice president for public safety and emergency management.

Brown police chief Rodney Chatman running a ‘s–tshow’ department while posting his progressive views | New York Post

He was reportedly the subject of two no confidence votes since arriving at Brown. He was allegedly fired from his previous position at the University of Utah. This sure likes like another DEI hire.  

Now there is a report that a Brown University custodian warned about the shooter weeks before the event.

Brown University custodian warned about shooter weeks before attack

A custodian from Brown University has come forward and claimed that he warned a third-party, on-campus security guard weeks ago about a suspicious man who turned out to be the suspected shooter in an attack that killed two and injured nine.

Derek Lisi, a 15-year employee, saw a man pacing the hallways, looking into classrooms and hiding in a bathroom to avoid being seen in the weeks leading up to the Dec. 13 shooting inside Brown’s Barus and Holley building, as first reported by The Boston Globe.”

It gets worse:

“The contractor company, Event Staffing Services, confirmed to the Globe that one of its employees was told about the suspicious person in December, but said it is not responsible for investigating those types of reports.”

“The custodian told investigators he had seen the man multiple times over the past month, and the custodian’s account was soon corroborated by security video from the building.”

This is so stunningly bad that it is almost certain to be true. We can be certain that the families of the victims are being inundated with calls from plaintiff attorneys desperate to represent them in the lawsuit against Brown.

Suppose you were spending $100,000 to get your child an IVY league education at Brown. Any questions regarding what happens next?

TDM

I must admit I don’t know very much about Brown University. We did have a neighbor whose daughter graduated from Brown. She was extremely liberal and we had seen reports that Brown University was extremely liberal. That, of course, is no surprise regarding any IVY league college.

Then this awful shooting happened. Two people were killed and nine others injured. Brown University is in Providence Rhode Island. There have been several news conferences regarding this, with the Mayor of Providence Rhode Island in the lead. If these news conferences were designed to elevate Providence, Rhode Island and Brown University, that is not what happened. In each case local and national media reporters asked a ton of questions and none of the press conference participants seemed to be prepared with any answers.

One question asked recently was whether Brown University had turned off its numerous cameras because of a request from a liberal organization. It turns out this may have been exactly what happened.

Brown University Received a Letter from 34 Human Rights Groups in August Requesting They Disable Their CCTV System – The Last Refuge

This letter was sent to 150 U.S. colleges and universities asking them to disable CCTV systems.

“Right now, these tools are facilitating the identification and punishment of student protesters, undermining activists’ right to anonymity––a right the Supreme Court has affirmed as vital to free expression and political participation.” 

This would sure help explain the lack of video evidence.

In addition consider the fact that at least of these protests were violent pro-Palestine rallies. You know the rallies where people shouted, “death to Israel” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”. Free, of course, means free of any occupation by the hated Jews.

It gets even worse. Some are suggesting that Brown University is covering up for Mustapha Kharbouch:

Who is Mustapha Kharbouch? Brown University student’s profile removed after mass shooting

“Why has Brown University suddenly erased every mention of Mustapha Kharbouch (a Palestinian activist and first-year student) from its official website, right as the FBI intensifies its manhunt for the shooter who killed two and injured nine in the campus attack?”

Notice that Brown University issued the following statement, which sure looks like a non-denial denial:  “In the aftermath of the shooting, we’ve seen harmful doxxing activity directed towards at least one member of the Brown University community,” a statement read. “It’s important to make clear that targeting individuals could do irrevocable harm.”

There are also reports that the shooter shouted “Allahu Akbar” just before shooting. Following is a picture of Mr. Kharbouch.

There are pictures of someone identified as a person of interest who is 5’ 8” tall and of a stocky build. Coincidence? None of this is evidence of guilt, but it is also not evidence of innocence.

If Mustapha Kharbouch is innocent, then he or his friends should be the very first to provide him with an alibi. That would end the speculation. There is no current evidence that this has happened. If Brown University really wanted to protect him, they are instead making things much worse.

We don’t know who shot eleven Brown University students, killing two of them. All we know is that, so far, the press conferences have done little to convince anyone that this is being handled effectively.

It is not exactly unique for someone motivated by Muslim extremism to decide it would be great fun to shoot people. The recent Bondi Beach massacre in Sydney Australia is a reminder of that.

One thing is certain, the longer this goes on, the more serious the questions. What, exactly, is the value of being politically correct if the result is the death of innocent people?

In addition, I suspect a lot of people, considering sending their precious children to an Ivy League school has just crossed “Brown Out”.

If you live on this planet long enough you will see events happen that defy all logic. In 1991 George H.W. Bush seemed to be coasting to re-election. Bush led the U.S. to a stunning defeat of Iraq. His approval rating approached 90%. Few Democrats wanted the nomination in 1992, because they thought Bush was a shoe-in. The result was that Bill Clinton, a relatively unknown, won the DNC nomination. Then in 1992 the economy started to slow down. Clinton won because “it’s the economy, stupid.” He beat George Bush and promptly pushed the economy off the cliff. But Republicans ran on a contract with America, Clinton wisely agreed with them, and as a result the economy recovered. It also recovered because Clinton spent the Social Security surplus creating the illusion of a balanced budget.

 Then, incredibly, he won re-election because Republicans ran Bob (I don’t have a personality) Dole, because it was his turn. The night Clinton was re-elected, I took a long, long walk, because I was totally depressed that the voters in this country could be so stupid.

In 2000, George W. Bush, barely, beat Al Gore. Today few people can even imagine Al Gore being President of the United States, but we dodged that bullet by about 300 votes in Florida. Bush defeated  al Qaeda in Afghanistan and invaded Iraq, and captured Saddam Hussein. In 2004, Bush defeated John Kerry, one of the most despicable anti-American candidates in U.S. history. The same John Kerry who distinctly remembered taking his swift boat into Cambodia as ordered by Richard Nixon during  Christmas 1968. Few noticed that his boat never went near Cambodia and in Christmas 1968 the President of the United States was LBJ, not Richard Nixon.

 Even though George W. Bush soared to favorability, Democrats went on a full-time mission to destroy him. He was blamed for Hurricane Katrina and the Subprime Mortgage Crisis. Then, when his eight years were over, someone decided that Barack Obama was the future, because he was black.

 No one bothered to check if he was remotely qualified to be President of the United States. Republicans countered with John McCain, the favorite RINO of the MSM. The MSM loved McCain, until he was competing with a Democrat, then they turned on him. He, predictably, lost. Four years later, Republicans ran another RINO, Mitt Romney, who also, predictably, lost. I know many people who thought Obama was a horrible President but know absolutely no one who regrets that Mitt Romney did not become President.

 For the next eight years, Barack could do no wrong, because no one in the MSM dared even hint at criticism of the first Black President. Then in 2016, Hillary Clinton, probably the most disgusting person to ever run for President, was defeated by, gasp, Donald Trump. Democrats, with the support of the MSM and RINO Republicans including George W. Bush and Mitt Romney spent the next four years desperately trying to make it impossible for Trump to succeed. He succeeded anyway, but then when COVID struck, the usual suspects seized the day and shut the country down, with devastating results. With the help of mail-in ballots and highly suspect voting machines, Joe Biden, campaigning from his basement, miraculously defeated the hated Donald Trump. 

On January 6^th, 2020, there was a “riot” at the Capitol. Democrats still pretend this was the greatest threat to democracy since the civil war. That may be true, but there is serious question regarding whether the people who orchestrated this were trying to help Donald Trump or overthrow Donald Trump.

 Democrats, RINO Republicans, and the MSM spent four years covering up the obvious fact that Joe Biden, never all that bright, was suffering from seriously diminished mental capacity. Granted, with someone like Joe Biden, it is often hard to separate dementia from a long history of public stupidity. But the MSM embraced the ridiculous while ignoring the obvious. They maintained this illusion until Joe’s performance in the 2024 Presidential debate made it impossible to even pretend. 

Kamala Harris was the first candidate to drop out of the 2020 election. Joe had promised to pick a black female vice President, and Kamala Harris was better than the person in second place, Karen Bass, she was elected to be VP. When Joe self-destructed, Kamala was chosen to succeed him. Over 1$ billion was spent on her campaign, but Trump trounced her anyway.

 None of this makes sense, but it is all too real. It is a reminder than sometimes truth is stranger and more devastating than fiction. Some are now predicting that Democrats will soar during the 2026 midterm elections. Before believing that, consider the fact that the people predicting this have been wrong about everything else for an extraordinarily long time.

 What are the odds that any of the above really happened? 100% What are the odds that future decision by far too many American voters will be equally at odds with reality? 100% But remember this. Donald Trump won in 2016 when few in the MSM thought this was remotely possible. Then he won again in 2024, even though Democrat Fat Cats donated more than $1 billion to Kamala, only to see her lose every swing state and the popular vote.

 So, what are the odds? The odds are those strange people who believe almost anything said by the liberal left and the MSM without regard to any facts or evidence. These people will almost always vote for the Democrat even when the candidate has been totally compromised. For example, Marion Barry was the mayor of the District of Columbia from 1979 to 1991 and then from 1995 to 1999.

 The following article on sfgate.com explains: Marion Barry, re-elected Washington mayor after drug term, dies

 On Jan. 18, 1990, Mayor Barry was arrested in a Washington hotel room while smoking crack cocaine and fondling a woman who was not his wife. The arrest caused a sensation, but it was hardly a surprise: The public had known of his womanizing, and there had been rumors of drug use.

 It didn’t matter. He had to resign in 1991 but was elected again in 1995. Sadly, there are always an astonishing number of people who will vote for the Democrat with any regard to the facts, evidence or consequences.

 he odds always show up to vote. Conservatives not so much. There is only one way to beat the odds and that is when good people turn out to vote.

Democrats and their fawning supporters in the MSM have been on a mission to destroy Donald Trump for an exceedingly long time. They were so desperate to stop him that they invented imaginary hoaxes out of whole cloth designed to destroy him. They tried to destroy him in 2016 with the Russian collusion hoax, and then the all too real Access Hollywood tapes where Trump made incredibly stupid remarks proving that like a lot of rich and famous people, He felt he was entitled to do and say things that would destroy a normal person. But Trump won anyway in 2016, and Democrats spent the next four years trying to convict him of, something. They failed.

In early 2020 most experts felt that Trump would win re-election in a walk. The economy was soaring. There were no ongoing wars. The Democratic candidates were just plain awful. So awful that the establishment chose Joe Biden because the only alternative was Bernie Sanders. Even Democrats are not suicidal enough to go all in on Bernie Sanders. Then COVID 19 hit and Democrats, with their fawning supporters in the MSM seized the day. Sadly, Trump followed the advice of people like Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx. They met with Trump and convinced him he needed to shut down the country completely or millions of people would die. He did shut it down, temporarily, and Democrats moved quickly to keep it shut down. That destroyed the U.S. economy and is one of the reasons Joe Biden was selected to be President.

In addition, COVID 19 restrictions resulted in a national election dominated by main-in ballots and voting machines creating an obvious potential for election fraud. In December 2019, Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren, Ron Wyden and Amy Klobuchar and Congressman Mark Pocan wrote a letter to Dominion Voting machines waring about reports of machines “switching votes,” “undisclosed vulnerabilities,” and “improbable” results that threaten the integrity of our elections. Sound familiar? This is exactly what appeared to happen during the 2020 election.

Absent widespread fraud, it is hard to explain how Joe Biden won the 2020 election. We now know that six million people, who allegedly voted for Joe Biden in 2020, disappeared before the 2024 election. The following article by Mark Thomas, from Uspiked.Com is remarkable, because Thomas hated Trump and supported Kamala Harris. What Happened to the Six Million 2020 Voters? | uSpiked

Here is what he said about the 2024 election:

The election results, however, defied reason. Despite overwhelming resources—a billion-dollar campaign war chest, an extensive grassroots network, and unparalleled momentum—Harris lost to Trump. Post-election, media, and pundits offered myriad explanations for this stunning turn of events, but none satisfactorily unraveled the enigma.

Determined to seek clarity, “uSpiked” consulted experts in data science, statistics, and political theory. The findings, however, compel us to confront an uncomfortable reality: the 2024 election results may inadvertently lend credence to Trump’s contested claims about the 2020 election. Was the so-called “Big Lie” masking an even bigger truth?

In 2020  a reported 81, 282,915 votes were cast for Joe Biden compared to 72, 223, 369 for Trump. But in 2024, Trump got 77, 93,105 votes, while Kamala Harris got only 74,898,009. Somehow, miraculously, more than 6 million fewer people voted for Kamala Harris than voted for Biden in 2020. Where did they go?

In case you were interested, the number of newly registered voters increased during the period between 2020 and 2024. This caused Mark Thomas to realize that over six million voters disappeared. “The experts consulted by uSpiked raised a far more unsettling question: were these six million voters ever real? Biden’s 2020 vote count, hailed at the time as historic, now invites scrutiny. Could it be that Trump, though inarticulate and poorly represented by the farcical figures leading his legal battles, was correct in suspecting foul play?

Ultimately, he stated  the obvious:  Biden’s 2020 vote count, hailed at the time as historic, now invites scrutiny. Could it be that Trump, though inarticulate and poorly represented by the farcical figures leading his legal battles, was correct in suspecting foul play?”

They still hate Trump, but facts are facts and they cannot offer a good explanation for the statistically impossible results of 2020. Combine that with the multitude of lies told about COVID 19. Let’s be blunt. Joe Biden is, was and always had been a horrible Presidential candidate. In 1988 his campaign was derailed by a plagiarism scandal causing him to withdraw. He tried to run in 2008 and was trounced coming in fifth, out of five candidates with less than 1% of the vote in the Iowa Caucus. He didn’t even try in 2016, partially because Hillary Clinton had learned her lesson from 2008 and rigged the entire primary season. On election day, Trump was in the lead in several swing states. By the next morning that lead disappeared when last minute, undocumented ballot drops, all heavily in favor of Joe Biden started to come in. When Trump questioned the obvious Democrats and their supporters in the MSM went all in on accusing Trump of refusing to accept the results of an election and even accused him of plotting to overthrow the government.

Now it is increasingly obvious that it was Democrats and their supporters in the MSM who tried to overthrow the first Trump administration because they didn’t like the results of the election. The same Democrats who called Trump a threat to Democracy, are so desperate to stop him from succeeding that they literally encouraged military personnel to refuse to obey “illegal” orders. They, predictably, cannot identify any “illegal” orders. If this is not Treason and Sedition, please provide an alternative term that would more accurately describe this action.

Stating the obvious, it is Democrats, not Republicans, who refuse to accept the results of an election. It is Democrats, not Republicans who attempted to overthrow the election because they didn’t like the results. It is Democrats, not Republicans who are the real threat to Democracy. They are clearly willing to do anything, and I do mean anything, to stay (regain) power. It is why Republicans need to wake up and do the necessary to save the country, not from Trump, but rather from those terminally ill with Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Democrats really believed they were on a roll. They won elections in New York City, New Jersey, and Virginia with awful candidates. This should not have been a surprise to anyone. New York City is a hot mess, and no Republican has come close to winning there for decades. New Jersey is also famous for electing Democrats who probably wouldn’t come close anywhere else. Virginia is populated by a lot of people filled with TDS and their candidate just couldn’t generate the necessary support. That may have been a racist decision by the Democrat Party which claims to be “anti-racist.” Republicans ran a conservative black female and there was no way Democrats were going to tolerate that.

Then we had the race in Tennessee where the Republican, fortunately, beat another awful Democrat candidate. The media will try and spin this as a surge by Democrats because Trump won this district by about twenty-two points. They are wrong. The reality is that Democrats shot their wad on a lost cause. Sending in the clowns, like Obama, AOL, and even Al Gore (Is he still alive?) didn’t work. They also spend a fortune to generate massive turnout in blue cities. This is their strategy for 2026. It is a guaranteed loser. The problem is that enough of the voters in the rest of the state showed up on a frigid winter night to vote for the right candidate. Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

Right now, Democrats are shrieking TDS myths all day long. Sometimes Trump doesn’t help by being incapable of shutting up. But one notes that if Trump is silent for more than 30 seconds, the usual TDS suspects who ignored the mental ghost disguised as Joe Biden for four years, start screaming about Trump’s diminished mental capacity. No one paying any attention buys that nonsense, but desperate people do desperate things, and the TDS crowd is beyond desperate.

Democrats managed to shut down the government, with predictable results, so that they could blame everything on Trump. They are desperate to blame Trump for the inflation caused by four years of Bidenomics. They continue to try and accuse him of being Hitler for authorizing ICE to enforce the laws passed by congress. They dream of taking over the House and the Senate in the fall of 2026 so that can make Trump the ultimate “Lame Duck President.” They do this with no regard for the consequences. That is wrong. They love the consequences because their clientele consists solely of people who are perpetually piss ants. When things are going great, the good ordinary people show up, and the piss ants are reduced to their normal position in society of loud, noisy nuisances who have insignificant impact on anyone else.

The tax cuts go into effect on January 1^st,  and they will be noticed, not by billionaires but rather by ordinary working people who are sick of being taxed to death. This DOJ and FBI are focused on real criminals to get real convictions. Some of those names will be prominent Democrats, totally ignored, if not secretly encouraged, by the Biden administration. Gas prices will continue to drop. Inflation is already slowing down. There is going to be a wave of massive investment in this country, by people who know how to get things done. Contrast this with the high-speed rail project in California, that still has no actual rail, and when it does have rail will go from Bakersfield to Modesto. To those of you who don’t live in California your may wonder why anyone would want to go from Modesto to Bakersfield. People living in California already know the answer, the same one who won the skeleton beauty contest, “nobody.”

Democrats thought they could feast off a role tide, by energizing the base, people who aren’t happy unless they are unhappy while sponging off the people they despise. Tennessee is famous for fixing things and the recent results are fixing a lot of things. People fighting for the role of the loudest source of vocal nonsense will soon be ignored by people far more interested in doing things that actually matter.

If Democrats thought they were on a roll tide, they are very wrong. But then they are wrong about almost everything.

A lot of people responded to my recent blog: “The Ep Sting.” One thing certain, is that no one, in either party is even pretending to defend Jeffrey Epstein. The following comment, by my friend Larry does an outstanding job of pointing out the real problem.

No More Ep-scam

Let’s stop pretending.

Jeffrey Epstein didn’t operate alone, and he didn’t get away with it because he was clever.

He got away with it because powerful people protected him for years — politicians, celebrities, billionaires, institutions, and a media class that suddenly can’t remember its own silence.

These weren’t passive bystanders.

They benefited from looking the other way.

Epstein was their access point — a gatekeeper to money, influence, and dark indulgences. And everyone knew it. The same people who now claim moral outrage were perfectly comfortable shrugging him off as “old news” until they realized they could weaponize his crimes against Trump.

That’s when they came running.

Not for justice — but for leverage.

They wanted Trump’s name on a headline, not the truth in daylight.

But now the truth is turning on them.

As more evidence drips out, it’s becoming painfully obvious:

The people screaming the loudest weren’t trying to expose Epstein — they were trying to direct the spotlight away from themselves and finally get Trump right where they wanted him.

That’s why the tone changed overnight.

Why networks went quiet.

Why certain names keep getting blurred, sealed, or “redacted for privacy.”

The public isn’t stupid.

You don’t hide names to “protect victims.”

You hide names to protect friends.

And the panic is real now, because the files aren’t cooperating with their story.

The deeper investigators dig, the closer the trail leads to their circles — the same elite club that was convinced it would never get caught.

Epstein’s ring wasn’t some underground secret.

It was an open secret in places where power gathers — whispered about, joked about, tolerated, ignored.

The system didn’t fail.

The system protected itself.

Now that protection is cracking.

And what happens next matters:

No more selective outrage.

No more political chess.

No more protecting reputations of the “important.”

Every single name that touched this operation must be exposed — red or blue, wealthy or famous, powerful or hidden.

Because justice can’t be partisan.

Truth can’t be redacted.

And the public is done being lied to while the elite shield each other.

Open the files.

Open everything.

Let the chips fall — no matter who gets crushed underneath them.

Thanks Larry. It would be great if honorable people in either party would choose character over political gain. Sadly, neither Larry or I are very confident that this will actually happen. But, wouldn’t it be wonderful, and refreshing if just someone would choose to do the right thing, for the right reason, without regard to the personal consequences. Don’t hold your breath.
