Daily Verse | Jeremiah 14:7
Although our sins testify against us,
do something, Lord, for the sake of your name.
Thursday’s Reading: Jeremiah 16-20
Thursday and I had to take a couple of days off for travel without a computer. That kind of MIA will happen again in September, October and November. Thanks for your support and continued interest.
While I was out, Brandon signed into law the legal theft of some $750 billion for a “health care, tax and climate bill” that was called the “Inflation Reduction Act.” It’s not even worth mentioning that it will do nothing to curb inflation, while it does everything to line the pockets of politicians and corporations — and the imperial rulers of our country justify their robbery of American citizens with flat out lies as they push the teetering economy that was once vaunted and strong toward total collapse.
The raid on Mar-a-Lago continues to be in the news as Trump demands that the DOJ and FBI to release the affidavit that “proved” they would find evidence of a crime if they invaded his home. While the DOJ was fine with releasing the warrant and a list of what they took — excluding Trump’s passports! — they’re not so eager to release the affidavit providing the reason why they conducted the raid on a former president and likely 2024 presidential candidate.
Personally I believe that the raid was a line nobody should’ve crossed unless there was credible, significant and irrefutable evidence of a crime, especially with the credibility of our law enforcement agencies in tatters. If they don’t come up with something like I describe, there’s going to be huge trouble.
We’re knocking on the door of a major uprising.
Speaking of uprising — and a few steps back from a shooting war that I’m afraid we’re being drawn toward with the weaponization of our federal institutions — RINO Liz Cheney went down in defeat in her Tuesday primary to Trump-endorsed candidate Harriet Hageman. But she didn’t just lose — she got demolished. Her political career as a “representative” of Wyoming is over, done, terminated, finished, eliminated, destroyed … it’s toast.
With about 95 percent of the vote reporting as of Wednesday morning, Cheney was losing by a whopping 37 points to Harriet Hageman, with Cheney drawing only 28.9 percent of the vote compared to Hageman’s 66.3 percent, according to The New York Times. Hageman was declared the winner early on Tuesday night, and the race was never close by any stretch of the imagination.
She got crushed. But the staggering humiliation she was handed by the voters of Wyoming wasn’t enough to humble her and her hatred of Trump. She is so tone deaf that she likened herself to Abraham Lincoln, noting that he, too, was defeated in his runs for Senate and the house.
“The great original champion of our party, Abraham Lincoln, was defeated in elections for the Senate and the house before he won the most important election of all,” Cheney said. “Lincoln ultimately prevailed. He saved our union and he defined our obligation as Americans for all of history.”
Only in her defeat is she anything like Lincoln, and even then, Lincoln lost to Stephen A. Douglas by a vote of 54-46, a separation of only 8 points, not 37. But Liz seems to think the threat of Donald J. Trump is akin to that of our first Civil War, and she is the Lincolnian savior, hinting at a presidential run in 2024.
To that I say: LOL!!!
Liz Cheney will never be president. She won’t even survive the primaries. And that’s if Trump isn’t running. That she thinks so highly of herself and her righteous cause is enough to motivate me to vote her down any time I might have the opportunity. And I know I’m not the only one.
With Cheney’s exit, there are two important things to note.
First, only two of the ten Republicans who voted to impeach Trump survived his scorched earth tactics: Rep. David Valadao (California’s 21st district) and Rep. Dan Newhouse (Washington’s 4th district). The other eight either retired or were defeated in their primaries. Like Abraham Cheney.
Second, and perhaps even more important, Trump nearly single-handedly snuffed out four political dynasties in just seven years.
The era of Donald Trump has brought a great many changes to the political world since 2016, and the year 2023 will be no different – the dynasties of Bush, Cheney, McCain, and Clinton will hold no quarter in either statewide or national office.
With the defeat of Liz Cheney in the Wyoming Republican congressional primary on Tuesday, the franchise dynasties that have dominated the U.S. political landscape going all the way back to the 1970s came to a crashing halt.
Whether or not the Republican Party takes control of Congress in November’s mid-term election, come January 23, there will be no politician by name of Bush, Cheney, McCain, or Clinton in the halls of Congress, the White House, or even on the state level.
This is very good news. Every one of those families were part of imperial establishment who really did no lasting good for the American people. Kurt Schlichter pulls no punches in his takedown of Cheney and the others.
And [Cheney’s] grotesque daughter was right on brand by joining the Democrats for a kangaroo kommittee that would have made Stalin blush. Her destruction of the norm of due process by putting out a TV-ready show trial with no possibility of the confrontation of witnesses, cross-examination, or counter-arguments did more damage to America than a few hundred selfie-takers in the Rotunda ever could. And this FBI raid? Chalk up the new “Sic the dogs on the previous guy” norm to the Lizard. Congratulations on making the Roman Empire great again, Lizzy, you historically illiterate mediocrity who would be nagging middle schoolers to use their inside voices if your daddy hadn’t hitched his wagon to the Bush dynasty.
What have they created? Nothing. Instead, they wreck and think themselves special.
Don’t get me wrong; the defeat of the NeverTrump brigades won’t magically turn this nation around. Neither will Trump, although he’s got the best shot of doing so (unless DeSantis runs — then all bets are off). But getting rid of these RINOs and unprincipled men and women who won’t stand against the swamp they are a part of is an excellent first step.
Now we need to take back the House, Senate and, in 2024, the White House.
