So many things to pay attention to.
Terrorist attack in New Orleans. Truck “bomb” in Las Vegas.
Gratuitous national awards to anti-Americans.
January 6 prisoners in the Garland Archipelago.
“Groomer” gangs protected in Britain.
The resignation of Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau.
The re-election of Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House.
Today, though, Kamala Harris will be called upon to certify the results of the 2024 election. The election she lost. She’ll join Nixon, Humphrey, and Gore in certifying her own defeat to the man she called a “fascist.”
Vice President Kamala Harris will join the company of vice presidents who have launched a bid for the White House — and who have had to certify their own loss.
The big picture: The founders’ framework of entrusting the affirmation of electoral votes to the vice president lays out a tricky dynamic for the men (and now, women) who must oversee the announcement of their defeat.
- On January 6, 2025, members of the newly sworn-in Congress will count ballots to certify the election results.
- They will operate under the updated Electoral Count Act, which makes clear the vice president is there only to announce the results.
Driving the news: Harris will officially declare her loss to former President Trump, now turned president-elect, as part of her role as the president of the Senate, a chamber that will soon flip red.
- The twelfth amendment instructs that the “President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted.”
As the Daily Mail puts it, “The process is usually a formality, a final round of vote tallying and the last step in the process of electing a new administration.”
Some are gloating about the humiliation that Harris will feel. Not me. I just want her to do her job and then pack her things.
Then we can get to work on what Julie Kelly (always a must read!) calls “a real insurrection.”
Trump won in decisive fashion as the majority of Americans sent a big middle finger tied to a wrecking ball to the halls of power in Washington. The failures of the Biden regime unquestionably contributed to Trump’s victory but so too did the relentless pursuit of the president, his family, his allies, his businesses, and his voters.
The January 6 operation backfired in a spectacular way. Instead of representing one of the darkest days in history, January 6 to millions of Americans instead embodies the corrupt, bloodthirsty, and vengeful nature of the existing government and its media bootlickers, which foreshadowed the sort of banana republic-style rule seen in Marxist hellholes not in the United States.
And voters acted accordingly at the ballot box.
So Monday, January 6, 2025 signals the start of a real insurrection, which is defined as a “revolt against civil authority or an established government” not an unarmed and at points unruly demonstration inside a government building on a Wednesday afternoon.
January 20 can’t come soon enough.
Amen Dave ! I especially like the word “bootlickers” !
