Lawfare Is Too Kind a Word

 Daniel Jupp - Jupplandia (substack.com)

A Constitutional Republic following the US Constitution dismisses these fraudulent cases before they ever get this far. Only a functional tyranny allows them to proceed. 


"I can’t recall the first time I heard the word ‘lawfare’, and I don’t know who came up with it. It seems like a neologism coined recently, but it may have older origins. After all, this is not the first time in history that a judicial system has been deeply corrupt. It’s just the first time in history that a judicial system has been deeply corrupt against an illegally ousted President of the United States of America who is still alive while almost everyone accepts the process of that corruption as completely normal.

"I saw a widely circulated, well respected Substack the other day saying what a wise friend of mine has said for a long time. My friend, who is a lawyer by profession, has long argued that the cases being conducted against Trump are so unjust, so prejudicial, and so patently ridiculous that the proper response is to refuse to comply with them in any way. He’s said that Trump should refuse to attend these courts, should hole up somewhere in a potentially sympathetic State (such as Florida) and dare the corrupt system to forcibly remove him from that bolt hole." . . .

"There are no Democrats who aren’t tainted by this, either in government posts or legal professions, and it is a taint which encompasses ordinary Democrat voters too. All of them have accepted and supported, have cheered on, the total corruption of the law to punish and harm a man they hate. Having failed to ever find real crimes he is guilty of, they have simply decided that ordinary actions are criminal ones, so long as Donald Trump did them."  Full article

Barack Obama’s Legacy: A Fundamental Shift Towards Weakness and Wokeism

 From wokeness to weakness with His Wackness - AFNN  "Barack Obama's presidency was marked by a promise of fundamental transformation for America, and indeed, he did. Mostly for the worse. His actions and decisions reflected a significant shift in ideals and international relations. One notable incident was Obama's decision to return the bust of Winston Churchill, a famous British leader, from the Oval Office. This act symbolized Obama's disapproval of colonialism, represented by the British Empire, and his homeland in Kenya, a former British colony.

"The return of the Winston Churchill bust was more than a symbolic gesture; it underscored Obama's vision of a post-colonial (new) world order and his commitment to addressing historical injustices. By acknowledging the complexities of colonial legacies and their impact on global relations, Obama signaled a departure from traditional diplomatic norms and a demonstrated willingness to criticize historical truths

"This shift in international relations mirrored Obama’s broader approach to governance, which emphasized inclusivity, diversity, and social justice. His presidency coincided with a growing awareness of “systemic inequalities” and historical “injustices,” prompting calls for change and reform across various sectors of society. His efforts made race relations worse, said the Boston police “acted stupidly” and said Trayvon Martin could have been his son…. He fueled racial tensions like no time since 1968 in America and is directly responsible for the “defund the police” and “Black Lives Matter” pseudo-religious cults we see today. 

Moreover, Obama’s presidency created its own domestic challenges, including the economic stupidity of “too big to fail” and “cash for clunkers.” His presidency focused on maximizing political polarization, and social unrest. Barry Sotero’s lasting legacy is that of decaying moral values and destroyed international relations. His decision regarding the Winston Churchill bust symbolized his idiotic approach to undue historical injustices and global colonialism. While Obama’s vision of transformation and progress was supposedly well intentioned, the fruits of his presidency are proving unhealthy for the Nation. …READ MORE…

Antifa can't cope [with] a banana

  Don Surber (substack.com)  

These demonstrations are an excuse to get out of class that likely is funded by some George Soros group. College administrators and faculty don’t mind. Fewer tests to grade. Never underestimate the lethargy of American leftists."As they side with the people who raped, tortured, murdered and then mutilated the bodies of young Israelis on October 7, the intifada antifas at UCLA are crying because people are bringing bananas to their demonstration at UCLA.

"Linda Mamoun posted a video of a woman eating a banana and taunting the crowd.

"Mamoun tweeted, “There was a protestor in the liberated zone at UCLA with a potentially fatal banana allergy. Counterprotestors invaded the encampment and saw all the no bananas warnings. The next day they came back waving bananas like settlers waving machine guns & smeared bananas everywhere.”

"Like settlers waving machine guns, so go the Days Of Our Lives.

"The reaction on Twitter was as one might expect. Cam posted a picture of a man in a banana suit and said, “But I identify as a banana. That’s not very inclusive of you.”

"And of course, there is a clip of a banana skit by Monty Python that’s appropriate for the occasion.

Bleu Cheque tweeted, “Oh no, not a banana! That’s totally the same as 10/7.”

"And therein lies why these protesters deserve absolutely nothing but disrespect and harassment. The protesters deliberately ignore what began this war. Palestinian soldiers invaded Israel unprovoked and not in uniforms and proceeded to violate most of the rest of the rules of war in their bid to destroy Israel (Jewish and Muslim citizens alike)." . . . Substack 

Here’s How We Know The Climate Crisis Is Not About The Climate

  Issues & Insights (issuesinsights.com)

"Nor would our elites have feted Thunberg and treated her as an authority who must be revered while she ranted and scolded and screeched. Pope Francis would not have admonished America for its “irresponsible” Western lifestyle and Bill Nye, no science guy but an engineer and an actor, would have never said that voting (he means for U.S. Democrats) is the best option “if you want to do one thing about climate change.” 

Democratic States Deploy Greta Thunberg Drones To Lecture People Who Go Outside | Babylon Bee

"Carbon dioxide is a pollutant, the Environmental Protection Agency says. It’s been drilled into us for more than 30 years that we have to cut our CO2 emissions if we don’t want the world to end too soon. But we know that the climate scare is in no way related to protecting the sky. The data tell us so.

"Over the last three calendar years, 2021, 2022, and 2023, “​​​​no country has reduced its carbon emissions more than any other major nation on a per capita basis,” the Committee to Unleash Prosperity tells us.

“ 'Even though our GDP is about 50% higher than China’s, our per capita emissions are roughly the same,” says the group.

"The data also tell us that though China’s emissions grow every year, “ours have come down every year over the last decade.”

"Yet the U.S. is continually singled out as the worst greenhouse gas offender, while China – and India – escape the wrath of the klimate kooks, from Greta Thunberg to Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to actor Leonardo DiCaprio, who actually “praised China’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.' ” . . .

Hamas and Joe Biden meet the law of unintended consequences

 As usual, a wealth of intelligent wisdom from the writers at American Thinker. Opposing this is the dangerous lack of intelligent thought in both college people and this President, perhaps all since birth. TD

Mark C. Ross - American Thinker

"Regardless of any particular details, the pandemic of Hamas-inspired campus unrest has pushed news of Trump’s hush money trial down to well below the fold.  It has also put Biden’s presidency in a most uncomfortable spotlight."

"Regardless of any particular details, the pandemic of Hamas-inspired campus unrest has pushed news of Trump’s hush money trial down to well below the fold.  It has also put Biden’s presidency in a most uncomfortable spotlight.  I seriously doubt that such was the intent of the organizers of these events.

"Various explanations are being proffered as to who is behind this and why this is happening.  Some conservative commentators are pointing their fingers at the classical Marxist demand to replace traditional oppressive authority with their own.  Jihadis are inclined to tout the rising tide of Islamic supremacy.  College culture in its modern, snowflake-coddling sense is also a prime suspect.  I just can’t fail to notice any spontaneity in all of this.

"George Soros, the archetypical James Bond villain, cannot escape consideration — but where necessary, he’s pretty good at covering his tracks.  Others are also under suspicion — and all their motives are fairly similar: destabilization of the existing “order.” 

"Antisemitism seems to be the ostensible motive...but is it really?  Even before Hitler, there just weren’t that many Jews in the world.  Yeah, they tend to revere education and knowledge and are more than willing to exploit such accomplishments for material benefits.  But so what?  Lots of folks have very similar ideals.  What may be behind antisemitism is that Jews don’t look very different from Gentiles — hence, the Third Reich was compelled to make them wear yellow stars of David.  Human decency being what it is, the king of occupied Denmark wore one as well.

"Colleges are certainly the focus of this phenomenon.  Initially, the administrations took a hands-off position — which allowed things more fully to develop.  They mistakenly tried to avoid bad optics...which was obviously inevitable.  In my student days, things got so bad that Governor Reagan had to call in the National Guard to shut things down.  The campus, however, wasn’t touched at all.  We just burned down the Bank of America that was across the street.  The university was our home." . . .

"Americans are slow to anger, but once provoked beyond limits, they save the world, and hopefully, America."

 Camp Intifada: Students for Theocratic Authoritarianism - Clarice Feldman  ..."Nevertheless, too many of the affected colleges and universities have failed in their mission to protect a safe learning environment for their students. The reasons are many, including reliance on foreign donations, particularly from Hamas-supporting Qatar, faculty rolls stuffed with anti-American and anti-Israeli ideologues, the DEI staff and humanities departments’ opposition to Jews and Israel, the large number of full-freight paying foreign students who do not share Western values, and the always present faculty and administrative psychological inability to handle conflict."

. . ."In January of 2024, American Thinker posted Terrorist attacks in America: for what are they waiting? It was my take on the kinds of attacks we’re virtually surely facing in the near future. In February, I posted a book review of Kurt Schlichter’s The Attack, which mirrors my predictions while expanding on them. The book is a novel, an oral history of three days of nationwide terror attacks, attacks in which American college students willingly participated:" . . .
. . . "That, and so many of these “student protestors,” particularly those whose parents are forking over $100,000+ a year for supposedly prestigious degrees, have seldom, if ever, faced consequences for their antisocial rhetoric and blatant crimes, such as taking custodians hostage, which in sane states is known as kidnapping. Universities “negotiate” lunatic demands rather than simply having demanders arrested and expelled. “Protestors” seizing and damaging university buildings demand to be fed gourmet and vegan fare and universities witlessly agree. Even on the occasions protestors are arrested, they’re immediately released without bond, and they’re not prosecuted. Why wouldn’t they engage in “an orgy of blood and violence?” They believe they’re untouchable, the moral arbiters of their age. The “moral” causes, about which they know nothing, excuse anything they do." . . .

All this is just fine with the pro-Palestine scarf people with their chants. "Hey-hey, ho-ho! Blahblahblahblah...:
 

"When pressed, a not-so-small percentage of the students participating in the pro-Hamas rallies on college campuses have been unable to name either the river or the sea that border the area they demand be under Palestinian control. Still others have bought into the lies spread by pro-Hamas groups that the atrocities inflicted upon innocent Israelis on Oct. 7 never happened. 
"But the most vile protesters of all are those who are well aware of the brutality perpetrated by members of Hamas and their Palestinian accomplices on that fateful day and call for the elimination of the Jewish state anyway…READ MORE…" . . .

How 'Let's Go Brandon' became code for insulting Joe Biden

 Colleen Long; AP News  

"How did Republicans settle on ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ as a G-rated substitute for its more vulgar three-word cousin?"

. . ."It started at an Oct. 2 NASCAR race at the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama. Brandon Brown, a 28-year-old driver, had won his first Xfinity Series and was being interviewed by an NBC Sports reporter. The crowd behind him was chanting something at first difficult to make out. The reporter suggested they were chanting “Let’s go, Brandon” to cheer the driver. But it became increasingly clear they were saying: “—- Joe Biden.

"NASCAR and NBC have since taken steps to limit “ambient crowd noise” during interviews, but it was too late — the phrase already had taken off.

"When the president visited a construction site in suburban Chicago a few weeks ago to promote his vaccinate-or-test mandate, protesters deployed both three-word phrases. This past week, Biden’s motorcade was driving past a “Let’s Go Brandon” banner as the president passed through Plainfield, New Jersey.

"And a group chanted “Let’s go, Brandon” outside a Virginia park on Monday when Biden made an appearance on behalf of the Democratic candidate for governor, Terry McAuliffe. Two protesters dropped the euphemism entirely, holding up hand-drawn signs with the profanity." . . .
