BREAKING: GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to Introduce Articles of Impeachment Against Joe Biden on January 21 Over Abuse of Power

This has the marks of a rookie showing off to impress their voters, (somewhat like Obama after his inaugural parade being videotaped signing his first fruitless executive order, "closing" Guantanamo POW camp). But in Rep. Greene's case, I recognize the veracity of her claims and am fully as embarrassed as her over Biden's corruption. TD

The Gateway Pundit  "Freshman Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) announced on Wednesday night she will introduce articles of impeachment against Joe Biden on January 21, 2021 over his abuse of power.

"Biden’s son Hunter Biden is currently under investigation over the criminal contents contained on his laptop computer that was turned over to federal investigators last year.

"Marjorie Taylor Greene made the announcement tonight on Greg Kelly Reports.

"Rep. Greene told Greg Kelly, “We cannot have a President of the United States that is willing to abuse the power of the office of the presidency and be easily bought off by foreign government, Chinese energy companies, Ukrainian energy companies. So on January 21st I will be filing articles of impeachment on Joe Biden.”

"And for millions of Americans it will be the first time they’ve ever heard about Joe and Hunter Biden and their deals with China or Ukraine!

"Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene added, “We don’t let criminals serve in our office… We don’t need a man serving in the presidency of the United States who is guilty of committing the crime of abuse of power and is under investigation.' ”

Twitter Permanently Bans Trump; Why Do Hillary Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Harry Reid Get a Pass?

Larry Elder  "Twitter explained why it decided to permanently ban President Donald Trump: "After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them -- specifically how they are being received and interpreted on and off Twitter -- we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence." . . .

"For four years, Hillary Clinton, the failed 2016 presidential candidate, has called the 2016 election "stolen" while frequently describing Trump's election as "illegitimate," only the result of Russian interference. "I believe he understands that the many varying tactics they used," said Clinton in 2019, "from voter suppression and voter purging to hacking to the false stories -- he knows that -- there were just a bunch of different reasons why the election turned out like it did.' " . . .

Don Surber: Thank you, Donald Trump   "He made us laugh. He made us proud. He kept his word. He made America great again. In a week, the Trump Era will end as the constitutional republic devolves into a fascist state, replete with the very corruption and authoritarianism that his enemies falsely accused him of.

"But let us not dwell on the evil that awaits us.

"Instead, let us recall the good times before Red China unleashed the virus that befell us, and allowed Democrats and RINOs to turn our nation into a totalitarian state of masks and terrorists disguised as mostly peaceful protesters.

"President Donald John Trump took a moribund economy with a 4.9% unemployment rate and within 3 years, dropped it to a 50-year low of 3.5%.

"His tidal wave of economic growth raised all boats. Black employment was never better. Hispanic employment was never higher. Female employment was never higher. All this was due to a man they called racist and sexist.

"He became the first president in decades to add manufacturing jobs. Obama's presidency saw a net loss." . . .

The GOP suicide mission? Their poohbahs’ belief that they can save the party by bowing before the ascendant left shows how disconnected they are from voters.

 Bookworm Room  "One thing that’s become clear in the past week is that the Republican party in Washington, D.C., is completely disconnected from the ordinary Americans that, of necessity, have looked to the GOP as their political home because it’s the “not-leftist” party. On the ground, outside of D.C., these reluctant GOP allies still support Trump. Whether, with Trump gone, they will support the GOP is a good question.

"Even as voters yearn for Trump, this is what’s happening in the Swamp:

Senator Mitch McConnell, the departing majority leader, privately told associates that he believed Trump had committed impeachable offenses and welcomed Democrats’ efforts to impeach him, thinking it could help the G.O.P. purge the president from its bloodstream. On the House side, Representative Kevin McCarthy, the minority leader, has decided not to lobby members of his party to vote against impeaching Trump.

Representative Liz Cheney, the No. 3 Republican in the House, announced yesterday that she would vote to impeach the president. In a statement, she said that the president bore the responsibility for the attack on the Capitol. “Everything that followed was his doing,” she said, later writing that there had “never been a greater betrayal by a president of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution.”

"Or if you listened to Tucker Carlson last night, you got to hear Fox’s Brit Hume fulminate against Trump, assert that there was no election fraud, and crave the normalcy that impeaching Trump would bring. And Hume probably still wonders why Fox lost 40% of its audience after the election. I still watch Tucker because, while I won’t forgive him for pretending there’s no election fraud, he’s still one of the few people in America brave enough to speak out against the Left’s having recently elevated cancel culture from a university practice to a full-blown fascist political movement.

"But back to those Republican Washington insiders who are determined to destroy Trump. My question is whether they have any idea who their constituents are? I don’t think so." . . .

Tolerant Liberals Start Revoking College Degrees

 Moonbattery  "Liberals have to stay creative to come up with new means to express their tolerance. Now they want to revoke the college degrees of conservatives.

"Rudy Giuliani, beloved as “America’s Mayor” in the aftermath of 9/11, is now a natural target:

Middlebury College, a liberal arts institution in Vermont, is rescinding Rudy Giuliani’s honorary degree, which they awarded him in 2005.

"The college accuses Giuliani of involvement “in fomenting the violent uprising” at the Capitol last week, on the grounds that he spoke at the rally that preceded the riot. Needless to say, moonbats who spoke to liberal mobs prior to Black Lives Matter riots don’t have to worry about losing honorary degrees.

"Ted Cruz may stand to lose a degree he actually earned:

New York University Assistant Professor of Sociology Alex Barnard called on Princeton University to rescind Sen. Ted Cruz’s Bachelor’s degree in response to the Texas Republican objecting to the certification of Arizona’s electoral college votes. …

Barnard wrote that Cruz supported such a measure “not because that makes any sense whatsoever, but because Cruz’s whole political program is symbolic acts of spite.”

"How better to express your disdain for symbolic acts of spite than with a symbolic act of spite?

"When Muslims conquered Christian lands like Egypt and Syria, they forced the locals to live as dhimmis — second class citizens — until they finally relented and converted to Islam so that they would not be systematically discriminated against and abused. It took centuries, but it worked. Christians constitute small minorities in the Middle East now. Liberals have not even completely taken over the federal government yet, and already they are applying a similar policy to eradicate resistance to their ideology.

Iran Holds Missile Drill As Tensions Rise Over Nuclear Program

Back to America being a laughing-stock with shipping being harrassed, the US Navy afraid to retaliate against Iranian shots being fired at them, sailors being kidnapped with videos of them in tears; pallets of US dollars delivered to free kidnapped Americans. Back to being protected by Democrat-run defense forces; our world guardian Joe Biden guided by Obama people who dislike this nation with a passion. TD

 Legal Insurrection

With hopes of Biden taking the White House, Iran launches third military drill in less than two weeks.

"Iran is holding a series of military drills in the Arab Gulf region as President Donald Trump’s term comes to an end.

"Tehran launched a missile drill in the Gulf of Oman on Wednesday, the third major drill by the regime in less than two weeks.

"Iran’s naval activities are not limited to military drills. The regime is again resorting to extortion on the high seas. Last week, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) seized a South Korean oil tanker and detained 20 crew members to pressure Seoul to release financial assets frozen by U.S. sanctions.

"In recent years, Iran has repeatedly threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s busiestoil transit chokepoint. Tehran has backed up those threats by attacking several Western-owned tankers and targeting Gulf Arab oil facilities.

"The Associated Press reported Iran’s recent military activities:" . . .

Dystopia vs. Utopia

People Leaving the Cities, photo art by Zbigniew Libera, imagines a dystopian future in which people have to leave dying metropolises

Wikipedia: "A dystopia. . . is a community or society that is undesirable or frightening.^[3][4] It is an antonym of utopia, a term that was coined by Sir Thomas More and figures as the title of his best known work, published in 1516, which created a blueprint for an ideal society with minimal crime, violence and poverty.  

"Dystopias are often characterized by dehumanization,^[3] tyrannical governments, environmental disaster,^[4] or other characteristics associated with a cataclysmic decline in society. Dystopian societies appear in many fictional works and artistic representations, particularly in stories set in the future. Some of the most famous examples are Aldous Huxley's Brave New World (1932), George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), and Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 (1953). Dystopian societies appear in many sub-genres of fiction and are often used to draw attention to society, environment, politics, economics, religion, psychology, ethics, science or technology. Some authors use the term to refer to existing societies, many of which are, or have been, totalitarian states or societies in an advanced state of collapse." . . .

2020 or 1984?

2020 or 1984? Thoughts Reading Orwell’s 1984 for the First Time  "When the year 2020 has more similarities with a fictional, dystopic interpenetration of 1984 than the prior year, it’s evident our world has become quite familiarly unfamiliar.

"In George Orwell’s 71-year old book 1984, we follow the main protagonist Winston Smith as he navigates London in what he believes to be the year 1984. Working for the Ministry of Truth, he spends his days as a journalist altering news articles and erasing the past — not by choice, per [se]. It’s the world he lives in. A world where the past, present, and future are run by Big Brother and the Inner Party members of Ingsoc, the region of Oceania’s governing ideology.

http://www.terrellaftermath.com/ Toon added by TD

"In Oceania, privacy doesn’t exist. Telescreens and secret microphones are everywhere: the streets, workplaces, restaurants, and especially homes. They’re watching you and they’re listening to you. All you have to yourself are your thoughts, and even those are illegal if they don’t obey the beliefs of Ingsoc. Thoughtcrime, it’s called. Thoughtcrime describes a person’s politically unorthodox thoughts, such as beliefs and doubts that contradict the principles of Ingsoc.

"2020 has seen a wave of pulling wrong thoughts from the minds of others. Articles and social media posts that don’t align with the story we are fed are quickly censored and taken down under the context that spreading false information is a major safety concern for the health and well-being of our society during a time of crisis.

"It’s not just the pandemic though. Personal thoughts are also under siege, resulting in cancel culture. Internet-dwellers are pulling up outdated information of previous thoughts and jokes, demanding the people responsible be “canceled” for their decade old thoughts. Its the same; thoughtcrime. It’s happening to celebrities, YouTubers, and regular folks too. They are losing their jobs and careers, and their reputations are being tarnished as a result of cancel culture and essentially 1984’s thoughtcrime.

"As for those telescreens in Orwell’s 1984, well they are also making their own appearance — beyond just our cell phones, that is. Take Moscow for example. The city introduced 178,000 surveillance cameras with facial recognition software to spy on its citizens and keep them in check during the coronavirus pandemic. Owellian, right?

"Another thing Big Brother does is alter statistics to favor the Party whether it’s used to instill fear or love in the citizens of Oceania. Take the production of boots, for example. Many people of Oceania are under educated, hungry, and living in poverty. Boots are needed. The Ministry of Truth released inflated production records, despite the fact that in reality production had decreased significantly. As a result, the records showed that there was an enormous surplus of boots, though citizens were still walking around barefoot. It’s Orwell’s word doublethink, meaning that we are supposed to accept false statements as truth.

"Beyond that, Winston believed that bombs and explosions were not actually the result of its supposed war with territories Eastasia/Eurasia (it’s constantly changing), but came straight from Big Brother and the Inner Party itself as a way to instill fear and correctness in its citizens.

How does this relate to 2020? A number of ways. For example, COVID-19 numbers are not consistently being recorded in the most accurate way. For example, in the UK COVID-19 deaths are recorded by those who die within 28 days after testing positive — for any reason. Meaning that if a person who tests positive for coronavirus dies a week later in a car accident, his or her death is added to the toll of coronavirus deaths in the UK. This means we are potentially receiving inaccurate numbers of those who have died from coronavirus.

"Like in Orwell’s 1984, we are essentially being manipulated by a greater force. We let our cell phones fuel us with fake news and we are unable to voice our opinions unless they coincide with the political agenda or general ‘wokeness’ of the world. And I can only hope this story doesn’t send me down the thoughtcrime tunnel, too."
