Daily Broadside | There’s “No Evidence” of Voter Fraud Until There Is

Most of us who supported Trump in 2020, and plenty of those who opposed him, believe that there’s enough evidence of voter fraud to invalidate that election, but we’re constantly told that there’s NO EVIDENCE of fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

REPORT: Trump White House Official Confirms Knowledge of Muskegon, Michigan Voter Fraud Report in 2020 – CLAIMS THERE WAS AN ARREST and that BILL BARR Allegedly Killed the Investigation

On Thursday, former Trump administration General Counsel Personnel Police Operations Andrew Kloster joined Steve Bannon on The War Room to discuss the Muskegon, Michigan 2020 voter fraud scandal.

Andrew Kloster said he notified Bill Barr’s DOJ – and Barr and his cronies smacked him down and killed the investigation.

The investigation had been buried by politicians, government investigators and the press.

On October 8, 2020, only one month before the 2020 general election, Muskegon, MI City Clerk Ann Meisch noticed a black female, whose name was later redacted from the police report, dropping off between 8,000-10,000 completed voter registration applications at the city clerk’s office. Clerk Meisch immediately noticed that the stacks of registrations included the same handwriting, non-existent addresses, and incorrect phone numbers.

The Muskegon Police Department was contacted and asked to investigate. On 10/21/20 First Lieutenant Mike Anderson was contacted by Tom Fabus, Chief of Investigations for Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel’s Office. According to the MI State Police report, Fabus asked for Michigan State Police assistance with a joint investigation of alleged voter fraud being conducted by the Muskegon Police Department and the AG.

An investigative task force was formed, and an investigation was initiated.

During their investigation, the state police discovered the women worked for GBI Strategies. This was included in their police report. The group had temporary offices in numerous Michigan locations. The police also identified Gary Bell as the head of the organization.

You know why there’s no evidence of fraud? Because most of it has gotten ignored or swept aside for long enough that people have lost interest or think it no longer makes any difference.

What ended up happening is my understanding, I reached out and spoke with some local law enforcement. What happened was there was a woman, my understanding is basically loitering outside of a dropbox all day, and she gets picked up by a junior guy and arrested because he’s like, what are you doing? You’re stuffing this box. What’s going on? So they arrest her, and she basically spills the beans. She’s a democratic operative. She’s got filled-out ballots, like 7000 is what I was hearing, and they arrested her. Now, the senior guy, my understanding was off at the time. So the junior guy who picked her up, got her statement and released her, and she went back to Detroit… She went back to Detroit. The senior guy comes back in the next day or later in the day and says, what the know? You had her dead to rights. Why did you release her? And starts trying to get an extradition order from Detroit, because this is before the election. We’re hearing there could be voter fraud. And here you’ve got someone basically copping to it and caught with her hand in the cookie jar.

If you have time, I encourage you to listen to the entire conversation, and especially Andrew Kloster’s comment about Bill Barr. Barr was supposed to be this paragon of integrity and experience who would lend great credibility to Trump’s administration.

The signals I got both through the White House and through the Department of Justice and through the careers at the Department of Justice, was, it was the same story over and over and over again: “Leadership is not interested in this. We’re not even going to make a phone call.”

There’s plenty of evidence; there’s just no will to pursue it.

Daily Broadside | Free and Fair Elections May Be a Thing of the Past

Daily Verse | Hebrews 7:6
This man, however, did not trace his descent from Levi, yet he collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.

Friday’s Reading: Hebrews 8-10
Saturday’s Reading: Hebrews 11-13

After the mid-term elections in November my suspicions that our elections are no longer trustworthy were further hardened by results in the governor’s race in Arizona, where Kari Lake is challenging the results with what seems like strong evidence of fraud. I would love to believe that she will prove that the election was fraudulent, but I don’t trust the courts anymore, either.

Last night we had some friends over for a small Christmas celebration and I ended up talking with a woman who is involved politically. She told me that she no longer believes that our elections are free or fair and she is also discouraged by Republican leaders who really only seem to be in it for the money.

As I prepared this post, I came across a couple of articles that seem to reinforce our commiseration. Here’s an analysis of RNC spending since 2017—as if we needed more reasons to withhold money from these grifting RINOs.

According to FEC filings, since 2017, the RNC has spent:

  • $3.1 million on private jet services
  • $1.3 million on limousine/chauffeur services
  • $17.1 million on donor mementos
  • $750,000 on floral arrangements
  • $80,000 in alcohol-related expenditures

Nearly $400,000 has been spent on event tickets and other entertainment activities, including $30,000 for a private box at a Las Vegas Raiders game, $13,000 for Broadway shows, $9,400 at Madison Square Garden, and $43,000 at Top Golf locations in Texas, Nevada, Virginia, and Maryland …

… Under the current leadership, the RNC has spent more than $150,000 on what could be considered non-essential office expenses, including $25,000 on Commonwealth Joe coffee, $7,000 on cupcakes, nearly $7,000 on candles and diffusers, and $75,000 total at Pottery Barn, West Elm, Restoration Hardware, and Crate & Barrel. In addition, the committee’s FEC reports show expenditures totaling $381,000 classified as “Furniture Expense” during the same time frame.

More than $100,000 was spent at high-end clothing stores such as Rhoback, REI, Nordstrom, Vineyard Vines, Footjoy, Ralph Lauren, Carhartt, and Smathers & Branson. An RNC vendor tells RedState that the Vineyard Vines expense ($12,000) was likely for embroidered jackets RNC staffers recently received.

Yep, middle-American schlubs like you and me fork over hard-earned after-tax money in response to the desperate emails and texts we get from the RNC about how they’re being beaten and we only have until midnight to get a 3x match. Then they blow it on fancy clothing and entertainment and tchotchkes for their friends.

I also came across this from one of the blogs I read regularly, which pretty much sums up where I am.

No, the only thing I care about is that we have free and fair elections in this country, and right now I have no confidence that we do. Do you? That should be #1 for anyone who even pretends be right or right leaning. I specifically excluded the Never Trump crowd earlier because they have no function except to attack Trump. They don’t matter. They’re jesters in America’s political court. But the people I’m talking about should care, and they don’t. If tomorrow Trump climbed aboard his star ship and headed for the skies, we’d still be in deep doo doo, because in their zeal to eliminate Trump from public life because they think it’s important for the future, they’ve ignored the only thing that really matters.

Free and fair elections. The foundation of a representative democracy. Without that, and as I said I have no confidence that we have them anymore, we have nothing. There’s no “Republic” to conserve.

Of course, there are others who don’t think all elections are rigged (and neither do I, but clearly there’s some cheating going on). Stephen Kruiser, who lives in Arizona:

I am not full tinfoil hat about every election in America, but what happened in Maricopa County was not just a weird glitch. It’s the most populous county in the state and contains a game-changing number of Republican votes. The fact that the problems with the tabulation machines all happened there stretches coincidence to the point of breaking.

As I’ve mentioned before, we didn’t have any problems with the machines here in Pima County, which is safely blue. Republicans are known for being Election Day voters and the fact that they were the people most affected by the “anomaly” in Maricopa County is what makes this whole thing more than suspicious.

Kari Lake deserves some answers and it is obvious that she’s not going to stop until she gets some. I don’t know if she can get the election results set aside, but it isn’t out of the realm of possibility.

Even if Lake can’t get this nightmare thrown out, my hope is that Maricopa County officials will be embarrassed enough to change the way they do things. That would require the Arizona GOP to be more functional and vigilant, and I’m not holding my breath waiting for that to happen. Perhaps Kari Lake can goad the party into fighting mode.

I don’t believe our elections are free and fair anymore, not after what I’ve seen in the last two election cycles. I believe that there is some kind of collusion and cheating going on, because what we see on the ground doesn’t match what we see in results—by a long shot.

What’s the answer? A better ground game from the RNC would help. Making I.D. mandatory, along with same day voting with minimal exceptions, like for military personnel posted overseas.

But I don’t know how you keep the Dems from cheating and there’s no way I want the GOP to cheat. We either win clean or we don’t win. But that may be difficult because it appears both parties are involved in the racket.

Multiple polls conclude that upwards of 70 percent of Americans think our elections are filled with fraud.  But we’re learning it’s deeper and more organized than just a few thousand mules dropping fake ballots into election boxes …

… The left and their RINO allies, along with who-knows-how-many other corporate and foreign actors, have set up the most complicated electoral fraud system in history.  Every step of the voting process — from who is allowed to vote, how they vote, how the votes are tallied, to how the results are reported — is compromised.  They are so far into their corruption that being exposed is not an option.  They will do literally anything to avoid being caught.

Read the whole thing and have a good weekend.

Daily Broadside | Twitter Colluded With the Federal Government to Keep Us From Knowing About Hunter Biden’s Laptop

Daily Verse | Philippians 3:17
Join with others in following my example, brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you.

Monday’s Reading: Colossians 1-4

Happy Monday, my friends.

Late Friday afternoon Elon Musk began to deliver on a promise to reveal the truth about Twitter’s effort to squash the Hunter Biden laptop story in the lead up to the 2020 presidential election. Musk chose to give Matt Taibbi the honor of releasing the information.

The main thing to take away from the reveal is this: we weren’t wrong. In fact, we were right, just as we and any other level-headed, fair-minded, rational human being was when we looked at was going on.

Twitter conspired with the federal government to hide a damning report about Joe Biden’s son, who appears to be not only morally bankrupt, but was laundering Chinese money for his father.

There were some introductory formalities from Matt Taibbi, but let’s get to the juicy part. On Oct. 14, 2020, less than a month before the election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, the New York Post broke the story of Hunter Biden’s laptop, full of drug porn and — more importantly — his emails telling the story of mass corruption involving his uncle Jim and his father Joe, also known as “the Big Guy.”

The best place for you to see the thread of tweets that Taibbi posted is here (HT Kevin Downey). They’re too hard to read on Taibbi’s account, so I recommend clicking the link and reading them there, in the order they were posted.

Here’s a few to whet your appetite:

By 2020, requests from connected actors to delete tweets were routine. One executive would write to another: “More to review from the Biden team.” The reply would come back: “Handled.”

Collusion anyone?

This system wasn’t balanced. It was based on contacts. Because Twitter was and is overwhelmingly staffed by people of one political orientation, there were more channels, more ways to complain, open to the left (well, Democrats) than the right.

From Twitter Profile at Open Secrets

Let’s just round up, shall we? 100%. 100%. 100%.

On October 14, 2020, the New York Post published BIDEN SECRET EMAILS, an expose based on the contents of Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop:

Smoking-gun email reveals how Hunter Biden introduced Ukrainian businessman to VP dadHunter Biden introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm less than a year before the elder Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine in…https://nypost.com/2020/10/14/email-reveals-how-hunter-biden-introduced-ukrainian-b

Twitter took extraordinary steps to suppress the story, removing links and posting warnings that it may be “unsafe.” They even blocked its transmission via direct message, a tool hitherto reserved for extreme cases, e.g. child pornography. 

Back to Kevin Downey’s story:

According to Taibbi, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) was the only Democrat to express concern about the decision to shut down the laptop story.

A representative from NetChoice then let Twitter know that Republicans were not happy and that the suppression of the laptop story might be a “tipping point.”

Meanwhile, other Democrats pushed for “more moderation,” even going so far as to state that Hillary “did nothing wrong” in her email scandal and claiming, “the First Amendment isn’t absolute.” You know, the same way Biden said, “no amendment is absolute.”

It’s maddening, and there’s more to come, according to Taibbi.

There’s a reason gaslighting is Merriam-Webster’s word of the year, 2022.

Daily Broadside | Tighten Your Seatbelt Because It’s Getting Rough

Daily Verse | Jonah 4:11
“But Nineveh has more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot tell their right hand from their left, and many cattle as well. Should I not be concerned about that great city?”

Thursday’s Reading: Micah 1-4

Thursday and deeper we go into the madness foisted on the country by the junta fraudulently installed in Washington through a conspiracy of business and left-wing activists to “fortify” the 2020 election. Don’t @ me, bro. That’s what Time magazine said.

Three weeks ago, the empty suit who can’t string a sentence together without copious amounts of Risperadone stood in front of a national monument symbolizing our founding as a society of free men and labeled anyone who voted for Donald J. Trump as an existential threat to that very society. Remember what he said?

“Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic…

“And here, in my view, is what is true: MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution.  They do not believe in the rule of law.  They do not recognize the will of the people…

And, folks, it is within our power, it’s in our hands — yours and mine — to stop the assault on American democracy.”

That is an invitation to the rest of the country to fear the “MAGA Republicans.” And if you fear something, you’re going to do whatever you need to do to protect yourself from the threat.

Nolte: Man Admits to Killing Teen He Claimed Was ‘Republican Extremist’

Forty-one-year-old Shannon Brandt said he was afraid 18-year-old Cayler Ellingson was “part of a Republican extremist group and that he was afraid they were ‘coming to get him.’”

So he allegedly killed Ellingson with his car.

After visiting the scene where the incident happened, deputies went to Brandt’s house in Glenfield, ND, which is about 12 minutes from the crash scene. Brandt admitted to consuming alcohol before the incident, and stated he hit Ellingson with his car because he had a political argument with him. Brandt also admitted to deputies that he initially left the crash scene, then returned to call 911, but left again before deputies could arrive.

Court documents say just before the crash, Ellingson called his mom and asked if they knew who Brandt was. She said yes, and told her son she was on her way to pick him up. A short time later, court documents say Ellingson called his mom again to say that “he” or “they” were chasing him. It was after the second call that Ellingson could not be reached again.

Brandt has been charged with vehicular homicide and drunk driving.

You can’t tell me there isn’t a direct correlation between what this man did and what Resident Brandon said three weeks ago. A drunk man killed a teenager because he was afraid of his political party affiliation.

The kind of rhetoric that Brandon employed has been building against conservatives and Republicans for years, whether Maxine Waters encouraging a crowd to tell Trump administration officials, “they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere,” or Barack Hussein Obama proclaiming disdain for small town Americans who “get bitter, they cling to guns or religion,” or Hillary Clinton who called half of Trump supporters a “basket of deplorables” and “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic,” or Grumpy Brandon who called some conservative Trump supporters “forces of intolerance” and “some of them the dregs of society.”

Brandon doubled-down on his rhetoric again just a week ago during the ironically named “United We Stand” summit.

President Joe Biden on Thursday said that modern day conservatives were part of a “through line of hate” that has been at the root of the American experiment since its inception…

According to Yahoo News, Biden used the summit to reinforce his administration’s false assertion that white supremacist terrorism is the greatest threat to America. As The Post Millennial and other sources have reported, that assertion originated from a government report sampled across only one year, parts of 2018-2019, in which white supremacist extremists were only compared to other homegrown and domestic violent extremists.

Prior to his “through line of hate” remarks, Biden had promised to combat “hate-fueled violence” and said the current threat is rightwing hate in America. He invoked Charlottesville, Trump, and a broader conservative coalition he deemed as threatening. 

“Unfortunately, such hate-fueled violence and threats are not new to America,” Biden said, linking modern conservatives to his through line of hate.

If you’re a conservative, a Christian, want to Make America Great Again, support Donald J. Trump, oppose the current regime, or believe the 2020 election was fraudulent or stolen, then you have a target on your back. You are being intentionally demonized, marginalized and “othered.”

Buckle up.

Daily Broadside | If You Believe the 2020 Election Was Righteous, You Won’t Believe It Now

Daily Verse | Proverbs 31:30
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

Tuesday’s Reading: Ecclesiastes 1-6

Happy Tuesday, my friends.

The wheels of justice turn slowly here in the U.S., but turn they do, especially when there aren’t Democrats or progressive Marxist activists involved. After 20 months of calling any dispute over the 2020 presidential election “the Big Lie,” evidence that the Democrats and Joe Biden acolytes are “the Big Liars” is being documented amid revelations from courts and investigative bodies including, believe it or not, the FBI and Homeland Security Department.

John Solomon at Just the News (via American Greatness):

But with each passing day, new irregularities, security vulnerabilities and illegalities are being unmasked by bombshell revelations from courts, legislators and other investigative bodies like the FBI and Homeland Security Department.

The latest came last week when the Wisconsin Supreme Court declared that state election regulators had no legal authority to allow voters to cast ballots in mobile drop boxes, a jaw-dropping decision that invalidated the way tens of thousands of voters — many of them Democrats — cast their ballots,

From Phoenix to Detroit, and Madison to Austin, there are now nearly two dozen credible confirmations of problems that undercut the claims of bureaucrats, journalists and Democrats that the November 2020 general election was perfect. In fact, it was quite imperfect.

You don’t say.

You Don’t Say.

YOU. DON’T. SAY.

See, when I questioned the outcome of the election, I was told, rather forcefully, that people were so sick of Trump that a record 81 MILLION OF THEM voted for Biden, the mendacious, racist political mediocrity who was on the wrong side of every issue during his career in the Senate, whose former boss told us not to underestimate his ability “to f*** things up,” and who couldn’t draw a crowd of more than a dozen at any “rally” he held during the campaign, who slurred his speech, was gaffe-prone, and hid after calling “a lid” at 1:00 p.m. every day.

No way.

When people don’t have a candidate they’re enthused about, they don’t vote. They aren’t motivated by the other team’s candidate to vote for their own. That’s why I don’t believe Biden got 81 million votes.

And now we’re beginning to find out where those “81 million” votes came from.

As American Greatness writes, “Just The News has compiled a comprehensive list of 21 confirmed instances of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election, with many of them coming from the handful of key swing states that ultimately determined the outcome of the race.”

Here are my top five of the 21:

ONE: The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled July 8 that “ballot drop boxes used in the 2020 election were illegal and harmed Wisconsin voters.” That means that the 570 drop boxes that received hundreds of thousands of votes were “were unlawfully approved by the Wisconsin Election Commission,” and every single vote that passed through those drop boxes are invalid (both Democrat (and Republican — ha!)). Trump lost Wisconsin by less than 21,000 votes.

TWO: Hunter Biden’s laptop was a case of election interference. Solomon writes that more than “50 national security experts, countless news organizations and large social media firms falsely told American voters in fall 2020 that the Hunter Biden laptop with damning revelations about Biden family corruption was Russian disinformation. In fact, it was a legitimate laptop already in the FBI’s possession, and Hunter Biden was already under criminal investigation before voters cast their 2020 ballots. The false narrative had significant impact: polling shows a majority of American voters believe the pre-election censorship of the story amounted to election interference,“

THREE: 50,000 ballots in Arizona have been called into question after an extensive audit by Arizona’s Senate, “including voters who cast ballots from residences they had left. The tally in question is nearly five times the margin of Joe Biden’s victory in the state.”

FOUR: Given the narrow margins of victory and defeat, a not insignificant number of foreigners and other non-citizens were found on the ballot rolls in Texas (12,000), Georgia, and Wisconsin after audits.

FIVE: Ballot harvesting (a vote collection operation) in nursing homes in Wisconsin, along with a massive operation in Georgia, where an unidentified whistleblower said harvesters were paid $10 per ballot. Clearly illegal activity.

The first to present his case seems right, till another comes forward and questions him. (Proverbs 18:17)

I don’t know where any of this goes but, at the very least, no one can say with a straight face that the 2020 election was free from fraud.

Daily Broadside | If You Believe in God, You’re in Good Company (for Now)

Daily Verse | Psalm 62:11-12
One thing God has spoken,
    two things I have heard:
that you, O God, are strong,
    and that you, O Lord, are loving.

Wednesday’s Reading: Psalms 67-72

It’s Wednesday and our carjackers are picking up speed and starting to shimmy in the turns with us in the back seat as we careen down the Avenue of the Americas with a full tank of gas and a wallet emptied by their cruelty and indifference, knowing that they’ll either go out in a blaze of glory or screech to a stop in Davos where they’ll hand us off for compliance training without our freedom, possessions, or sanity.

No time is a good time to reject belief in God, but this would be a particularly unwise time to do so. Still, this is the United States of America, where wisdom is lacking and where the idea of God just got a little less support.

The percentage of Americans who say they believe in God has dipped to the lowest number in the past nearly 80 years, according to a new Gallup poll published Friday.

The Values and Belief poll, conducted from May 2 to 22, showed 81% of people answered that they believe in God. That is down six percentage points from the 87% of respondents who said they believed in God in the 2017 poll. This year is the lowest percentage in Gallup’s trend since the public opinion polling company first asked the question in 1944.

This year’s poll found 17% of Americans said they do not believe in God.

Joe Biden’s America, people. Where even our spiritual condition is the worst in decades. Seriously, more than 90 percent of people believed in God from 1944 to 2011, with the number stabilizing at a high of 98 percent from 1944 through the 1960s.

Whether you believe in God or not seems to correspond with your political affiliation.

The Gallup Values and Beliefs poll found that the decrease in theism has been driven by young adults and those on the political left. Both groups’ belief in God has dropped by 10 percent or more compared to the 2013-2017 average for their demographics.

These groups are also those least likely to say they believe in God in comparison to other demographics.

Liberals (62 percent), young adults (68 percent) and Democrats (72 percent) gave significantly lower rates of belief in God, while conservatives (94 percent) and Republicans (92 percent) gave the highest.

The least change in belief has occurred among conservatives and married adults.

What that seems to be telling us is that religious belief — or at least belief in God — plays a big role in the political divisions we have in this country.

Younger Americans are also less likely to believe in God than their parents and grandparents. 68 percent of 18-29 years say they don’t believe in God, compared to 81 percent of 30-49 year olds and 88 percent of 50-64 year olds.

18-29 year olds includes those who went to college, where we all know that students are indoctrinated into hating America and anything American, including our historical norms when it came to Christian faith.

Our faith hasn’t been passed along to the next generation, it seems. Yet, we need men and women of faith who take their beliefs seriously and let it affect how they vote. Paul was quite clear with his young protégé, Timothy, that “the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others” (2 Tim. 2:2).

However, we’re not even doing the basics.

Interestingly, while belief in God is on the decline, Gallup clocked an even steeper decline in church attendance, church membership and trust in religious institutions as a whole. In other words, it may not be just that belief in God is dropping, but that it’s evolving into something less beholden to traditional ideas of what it even means to believe in God.

Daily Broadside | Brandon Locks Up Nomination for “Worst President Ever” in Just His First Year!

Daily Verse | Exodus 4:13
But Moses said, “O Lord, please send someone else to do it.”

Friday’s Reading: Exodus 7-11
Saturday’s Reading: Exodus 12-14

Friday and we’re officially into the second year of the catastrophic failure that is the Brandon administration. Joey Sugar Cone was, at best, a mediocre Senator during his years in the upper chamber, and even that’s being generous. He’s always been an empty, clueless, vacuous, talentless greasy fabulist in a suit without an original thought or spine, and zero leadership skills.

He’s an actor who’s fed his lines by a staff that is paid to make him look smart. But get him away from his script and he says things like, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black,” or “it depends on what [Russia] does [in Ukraine]. It’s one thing if it’s a minor incursion,” or “There’s going to be no circumstance where you see people being lifted off the roof of an embassy in the—of the United States from Afghanistan.”

Now he’s old and his mental acuity (if you can call it that), is in decline. Combined with his untalented, incompetent, pretentious buffoonery over the last fifty years and you get what we’re looking at today: an unmitigated disaster of a man who has no wisdom, no idea how to navigate the political waters he’s floating on, and is an empty vessel onto which the extremists he brought with him into the White House project their vomit-inducing ideology.

The result of Brandon’s empty rhetoric and yummy vanilla ice cream cones?

  • Brandon revoked the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline and killed our energy independence. That contributed to a 60 percent rise in gas prices, the highest since 1980.
  • Brandon botched our withdrawal from Afghanistan, getting 13 U.S. soldiers killed and abandoning thousands of American civilians and allies to the Taliban.
  • Brandon has U.S. inflation running at 39-year highs, with 6.8 percent year-to-year inflation, the greatest 12-month increase since 1982. December’s inflation rate was 7 percent.
  • Brandon can’t fix supply chain issues, causing a shortage of essential commodities across the country.
  • Brandon has created even more division than under Trump with his administration demonizing conservatives and Republicans as “domestic terrorists.” Brandon has also likened his ideological opponents as the worst of racist Democrats like Bull Connor and George Wallace while trying to wear the mantle of Abraham Lincoln.
  • Brandon promised that he would shut down the Peking Lung Pox, but its offspring are running rampant across the country. More people have died of the virus under his watch (426,000) than all that died under Trump. By his own logic, Brandon should resign: “220,000 Americans dead … anyone who is responsible for that many deaths should not remain as President of the United States of America.”
  • Brandon has presided over the collapse of our southern border, with 1.7 million illegal aliens apprehended crossing our border in 2021.
  • Brandon sits at a 42 percent approval rating with at least on poll putting him at 33%.

Has Brandon restored our norms yet? Is everybody quite at peace and harmony now that Brandon is Resident and Orange Man Bad is gone? No more mean tweets, right?

If you were looking for Jimmy Carter 2.0, you must be thrilled.

Have a good weekend.

Daily Broadside | The UniParty is Strong with Ted Cruz

Daily Verse | Genesis 11:4
Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”

Thursday’s Reading: Genesis 12-14

It’s Thursday, January 6 and the one-year anniversary of when the ruling class and their enforcers staged a Reichstag fire at the Capitol that netted them not only hundreds of men and women to harass, but also a foundation on which to build the lie that “white supremacist terrorism” is the most lethal threat we face in this country. They have continued to build on that theme and openly fret that the outgroup will overthrow the 2022 and 2024 elections and destroy our “democracy.”

For instance, here’s Chinese noodler Eric Swalwell taking it to the extremes:

“Democracy nearly died”?

Really?

You’re sure that’s not an exaggeration?

Swalwell is the last guy to be talking about the death of “democracy.” He sits on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and was literally in bed with a Chinese spy. Did Democracy “nearly die” while you were being intimate with Fang Fang, you compromised flak?

Why this guy still has a job is beyond me, but he’s a Democrat, you see, and the rules are different for members of The PartySM.

Besides, Swalwell is all about election integrity, doncha’ know.

“If we don’t get it right”? You mean rigging it again? To preserve your precious “democracy”?

I hate to break it to you, genius, but we’re not a “democracy.”

What’s amazing is that everything the Demokrats accuse the Republicans of doing is exactly what the Demokrats are actually doing. It’s a massive exercise in projection and gaslighting.

What really irks me though, is that Ted Cruz, a reliably conservative voice in the Senate, weighed in today with comments about J6 that, to me, sink any enthusiasm I might have had if he chooses to run for president in 2024. (I voted for him in 2016 as a write-in candidate before my thinking on Trump turned a corner.)

“We are approaching a solemn anniversary this week. And it is an anniversary of a violent terrorist attack on the Capitol, where we saw the men and women of law enforcement demonstrate incredible courage, incredible bravery, risk their lives for the Capitol,” Cruz said at a Senate Rules Committee oversight hearing Wednesday with Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger discussing Jan. 6 security failures.

For him to use that language—”a violent terrorist attack”—is to play right into the hands of our oppressors. JANUARY 6 WAS NOT A VIOLENT TERRORIST ATTACK. Nobody bombed Pearl Harbor and nobody turned airliners into missiles. Nobody blew up a cafeteria with a suicide vest, nobody ran down pedestrians walking along a sidewalk with a truck, and nobody lined up captives on a beach and beheaded them all.

To apply that language to a mass trespassing event is to trivialize 9/11 and oversell J6.

And as I wrote yesterday, the only people to die on January 6 were Trump supporters, all of whom encountered violence from the Capitol Hill Police. One was shot without warning at nearly point-blank range as she climbed through a broken window. Should she have been doing that? Absolutely not. Should she have been killed for it and should her killer get off scot-free? Absolutely not.

I’m not saying J6 was defensible. It wasn’t. I condemn vandalism and trespassing. But it wasn’t what the Left makes it out to be or, unfortunately, what the Right now makes it out to be.

No wonder the country is going to hell.

Daily Broadside | Was it an Insurrection, Riot, or Protest Gone Wild?

Daily Verse | Genesis 8:21
“Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood.”

Wednesday’s Reading: Genesis 10-11

It’s Wednesday, January 5, 2022, the day before the first anniversary of the so-called “insurrection” that occurred at the U.S. Capitol as a few hundred citizens breached the building, then proceeded to either wander through it like tourists or, in some cases, committed contemptible acts like breaking windows and doors, invading the offices of members of Congress, stealing the House lectern, or showboating by standing on the Senate dais.

In no sense at all was any of that day’s activities an “insurrection.” Here’s how Mirriam-Webster defines it:

… and how the Cambridge Dictionary defines it:

Under U.S. Code 18, insurrection (or rebellion) is a crime punishable by a fine, jail time or both. Anyone found guilty of insurrection is ineligible to hold office in the United States.

The reason the events of January 6, 2020, weren’t an “insurrection” is because no one participating was armed (as would be expected if there was intent to overthrow the government), there was minimal violence on the part of the participants (mostly limited to breaking doors and windows), and the only people who died that day were four protestors, of whom two died of heart attacks, one (Ashli Babbitt) was gunned down without warning, and the other (Rosanne Boyland), was beaten by police (although conflicting reports suggest she died of a drug overdose). Five police officers who were on the scene that day also died but none of them died that day or from injuries sustained in the protest. One died of a stroke the following day and the other four were suicides.

By far the most compelling evidence that it wasn’t an insurrection is that none of the approximately 700 people arrested in connection with the Capitol riot have been charged with insurrection. If it was truly an insurrection, those who participated would be charged as such; but not one person has been so charged.

It wasn’t an insurrection.

It’s not an insurrection!

There is also plenty of suspicion that the FBI was involved in driving the events of the day.

To the casual reader, news that the nation’s top law enforcement agency prepared ahead of time to combat possible violence on January 6 is reassuring. But to anyone who has closely followed the hyperpartisan activity of the FBI over the past several years, the article reads more like a confession, confirming deep suspicions that the FBI played an instrumental role in prompting the events of that day rather than act as a legitimate police force helping to keep lawmakers and American citizens safe.

(Btw, if you’re not reading Julie Kelly at American Greatness, you should. She’s been investigating and writing about J6 since it happened.)

The point? When you hear the word “insurrection” or “armed insurrection” during the “memorials” tomorrow, know that you’re being gaslit and that these people are being made an example as a warning to the rest of us not to protest our government’s overreach.

But that moment is coming when we’ll have to decide.

Count on it.

Daily Broadside | You Know Something Isn’t Right—And You’re Right

Daily Verse | Genesis 4:7
But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it.

Tuesday’s Reading: Genesis 6-9

Tuesday and we’re still getting used to thinking “2022.” How many of you can immediately begin saying “2022” and using it on official documents and letters? It sometimes takes me a good two or three weeks to start referring to the current year accurately.

I’m reading a newer book by Gary L. Steward titled, “Justifying Revolution: The American Clergy’s Argument for Political Resistance, 1750-1776.” It’s published by Oxford University Press and sets you back $74 on Amazon, which is a lot for a thin academic volume of 221 pages—92 of which consist of endnotes, a bibliography and an index. However, I have a driving interest in understanding how the Christian church of the 18th century justified supporting the American Revolution.*

We here in the contemporary U.S. are troubled by the increasingly authoritarian actions we’re seeing from our ruling class. I’m talking here not just about the Peking Lung Pox lockdowns, but things like the January 6 Select Committee that seems to be operating with lawless malice; the conspiracy to “fortify” the 2020 election—”in which state authorities openly flouted election laws and in which all manner of irregularities ensued;” the lawlessness that we see taking place in cities run by far-left Democrats and Soros’-supported state attorneys; the deplatforming of national politicians (who all happen to be Republicans, never Democrats; or who are experts who defy the official narrative) from techopolies like Twitter and Facebook and YouTube; and the deliberate scare tactics of a “white supremacist” terrorist threat that is never explained but only warned about; and a “free press” that is fully compromised.

What I believe we’re watching is the progression of the slow coup put in motion by the Obama administration after Donald Trump won the 2016 election. What we are seeing is the consolidation of power, inch-by-inch, by the anti-American progressive Left.

We are experiencing from our rulers an indifference toward our guaranteed liberties and constitutional rights, similar to what the patriots in the 1700s experienced when the British Parliament under King George III imposed first the Sugar Tax in 1764 and then the Stamp Act in 1765. Our ruling elite are over-reaching and getting away with it because of the cancerous rot known as cultural Marxism that has infected all three branches of government, and business, education, the sciences, the military, the press, the church and more.

In his column on Monday, Ben Weingarten writes about the J6 “insurrection”:

Consider how disturbing the treatment of Capitol rioters has been, no matter how contemptible the actions of the worst actors among them. There are people with no prior criminal record who participated in the breach now rotting in a squalid D.C. prison for months on end in pretrial detention, allegedly facing assaults, stuck in solitary confinement for hours a day and made to plead before judges before whom they repent their political views in order to try and garner their release. The process is the punishment. The cruelty is the point. The message to Americans is clear: You no longer live in a nation with anything remotely resembling equal, impartial justice. Enemies of the regime will be brought to heel; woke social justice warriors will get off scot-free. This is meant to both instill terror in and demoralize dissenters.

It also serves as a prior restraint on dissent because Americans know that every critical response the Ruling Class’ actions provoke will provide yet another pretext to turn the screws tighter in order to “save democracy.” We see similar themes in the pursuit of the perfectly peaceful political foes of the regime—the dozens and dozens of them—subjected to the Soviet justice of the lawless and limitless January 6 Select Committee.

What astonishes me is that Republicans on the hill have not risen up in loud protest. Normal Americans have been abandoned by both sides of the aisle. It really will come down to citizens having to make a difficult choice between acquiescence and resistance.

What will you choose?

*As I make my way through the book, I’ll take notes and eventually share with you what I learn.
