Vote No on 1984; Thought crimes, ministries of truth, and memory holes belong in Oceania, not America.

"Are we crazy who watch the violence in our streets and scream at our TVs that that masked man, this hooded woman on the screen is, in real time, assaulting the police, looting a family’s store, tossing a firebomb at a police car — and all with virtual immunity? Did Americans miss out on some new state or local law decreeing that it’s now legal to ransack a store or demolish a business?"

Victor Davis Hanson  "If we were to wake up in 2022, would we be more likely to see a 15-person Supreme Court, a Senate without a filibuster, a nation without an Electoral College, and an effort to admit two more states and with them four more senators if Joe Biden or Donald Trump were president?

"Why would we blow up a nine-justice Supreme Court after 151 years, or a 233-year Electoral College, or a 170-year Senate filibuster, or a 60-year 50-state Union? And why now? What is the theme, the argument, the momentum for shattering these traditions, other than that progressives see them as ancient impediments to their radical ends?

"Who, if president, would alter our ways of governance, and who would resist? Why are the proponents of these radical changes to the way we are governed so fanatical and yet so quiet about their intentions?" . . .

What became of our sense of right and wrong?  ... "Are we crazy who watch the violence in our streets and scream at our TVs that that masked man, this hooded woman on the screen is, in real time, assaulting the police, looting a family’s store, tossing a firebomb at a police car — and all with virtual immunity? Did Americans miss out on some new state or local law decreeing that it’s now legal to ransack a store or demolish a business?" . . .

What judgment will future generations pass on us?  ..."For a generation so prone to damn the past by the standards of the present, what will our grandchildren say about us in 50 years, we who have aborted 2,000 to 3,000 infants a day? Will they scream that we were racists to allow 1,000 African-American lives to be extinguished every 24 hours? And which current presidential candidate would be more likely to say, “Please, don’t do this” and which to boast, “Who are you to object?' ”...

Today we have our tech barons just as the 1800s had the robber barons:  . . . "When listening the other day to the senatorial furor directed at Jack Dorsey, Twitter founder and CEO, I thought of the 19th-century agrarian venom against the railroad monopolies that rigged freight rates when farmers had no other way to ship their produce. Dorsey essentially admitted that, as a private tech baron, he too can do as he pleases. And as he pleases means censoring conservative content on all he owns. 

CEOs of Facebook, Twitter and Google

"Dorsey, like the late-19th-century railroad conglomerates, operates a virtual octopus, as do Facebook and Google. Their tentacles squeeze out all their competition. They are vertically integrated. Long ago they strangulated competitors and censored and rigged their operations in a way that assumes that they are neither operating in the public domain like a utility nor subject to antitrust and anti-monopoly laws that tend to reappear when moguls express open contempt for their customers." . . .

CNN Contributor Shamefully Puts Her Anti-Trump Bias On Full Display — Says President Donald Trump Has Made The United States ‘More Dangerous’

Analyzing America


"The Daily Caller reports, CNN’s Amanda Carpenter blasts President Donald Trump for making America “more dangerous.”

"Carpenter claimed that he is at fault for cities facing civil unrest and that it is impossible to separate what the president tweets from his policies.

“ 'We are living in a more dangerous country because of Donald Trump. The tweets are the policy. You cannot separate what he says from what he is.”

“ 'We are no longer free to move about the country.”

“ 'So, yes, these Republicans can come on and tell me I should support Trump for policies. That goes out the window when we are not free to see our loved ones.”

“ 'That goes out the window when someone sticks a tube down the throat of your loved ones, when I see Americans gassed in Lafayette Square and people made into orphans at our border.”

“ 'We are in a scary time right now. And four years ago I thought I knew what kind of country we were. It has become a much more scary, dangerous place,” Carpenter concluded, pivoting gain to blame Trump for the division. “This is a scary time before the election because we are waiting to see who we are again. It is because of Donald Trump’s words and actions that we’re here.”

Media and the pollsters

The Enemy of the People  . . . "Their job, they routinely tell us, is to simply report what is happening in the country and the world. It’s hard to type that line without laughing. 

"The last four years they have done the activism the Democratic National Committee couldn’t do - wrap liberal BS in a blanket of objectivity. 

"It doesn't work like it used to, the Internet exists so there are too many different, unobstructed pathways for information to flow through for these leftists to completely prevent the escape of information into the public, but it doesn’t have to work with everyone. It only has to work with just enough." 

"Whichever way the election turns out, never forget the lies we were told in liberal’s pursuit of power. 

"Three years of “RUSSIA,” 4 months of “IMPEACH OVER UKRAINE,” and four solid years of nitpicking, false stories, and insisting the President and Republicans are liars hellbent on trying to kill people. To the casual news consumer, there is no way for that to not have some kind of impact. " . . . . .

What Now?

Combine the empty suit from Delaware with Kamala Harris, who was polling at about 2% among Democrats before she dropped out of the primaries. Harris added nothing to the ticket — except Biden’s ridiculously narrow, self-imposed requirement that his vice president be a woman of color.Unfortunately for him, there just aren’t a lot of massively impressive black women who are elected Democrats right now. Barbara Jordan is dead. Shirley Chisholm is dead. Either of them would have been chosen over Kamala.

 Ann Coulter   "This may be the strangest election in history in that there is no evidence that any sizable group of people want Biden for president.]

"It’s his fourth time running for that office. This year, Biden lost three primaries in a row, coming in fourth in the Iowa caucus, fifth in New Hampshire a distant second in Nevada. At the end of February, he had accumulated a paltry 14 delegates — compared to 45 for Bernie Sanders and 26 for Pete Buttigieg.

"Then James Clyburn said, Vote for Biden and African Americans in South Carolina voted for Biden. (Although the black vote is NOT monolithic, they decided to make an exception this one time and vote monolithically.)

"Democrats never looked back.

"Biden has nothing going for him — no constituency, no fanatical supporters, just a career in politics that stretches back 50 years.

"Bill Clinton had Southern Democrats and baby boomers. Gore had the global warming zealots. George Bush had conservative Christians and Texans. Even Hillary had fanatical supporters. Remember the PUMAs (Party Unity My A$$)? How about the weeping loons at the Javits Center on election night 2016?

"Will anyone weep that Biden lost? No, they’ll weep because Trump won." . . .

Democrats could come out for vivisection of little children. No one cares! A significant share of the electorate was voting for Anyone But Trump.

Fox News Channel joins the dark side

Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity and Lou Dobbs should go to other networks rather than being associated with this betrayer of its conservative audience. . .
Faux News – Grrr Graphics - Ben Garrison Cartoon - Conservative Daily News

 Dex Bahr: Election night reveals three disturbing facts  "Election night revealed a few disturbing items that should trouble freedom-loving Americans.

"First that the race is even this tight speaks to [a] disturbing number of Americans who are woefully uninformed. Second, Fox News has gone over to the dark side, or, rather, the left. And third, the level of coordination to make this race close is stunning.

"That the senile and corrupt Joe Biden could finish so strong speaks to either the gullibility or unseriousness of far too many Americans. Biden obviously has mental acuity issues and has a history of corruption, but that did not seem to be a big deal to the Americans who voted for him.  I guess the probability of more lockdowns are lost on a number of Americans who are more frightened by the Wuhan virus than the probability of America becoming a socialist, if not communist, nation under a Biden presidency.

"Speaking of a Biden presidency, if he were to win, odds are he would not finish out his first term. Vice President Kamala Harris would become president, a person who dropped out of the Democrat primaries before a single vote was cast based on her lack of voter support, and a politician who is one of the most leftist senators. So the people who squandered American freedom and prosperity for safety or because they don’t like Trump’s personality, are basically voting for a figurehead, to be replaced by guess who. Either these voters are oblivious to this fact or they simply do not care.

"Biden voters also are either unaware of his past associations with racists and his stand against integration through busing or they think it’s not a point of contention. And the same goes for his pay-for-play schemes with Ukraine, China, and more, as revealed by son Hunter’s laptop. Now granted , the corporate media and big tech teamed up to squelch these revelations, but the information could be found if one did one's due diligence before casting a vote. Trump certainly mentioned Biden’s corruption in every single one of his rallies in the last few weeks." . . .  Keep reading...

America After The Election: A Few Hard Truths About The Things That Won't Change

Zerohedge

“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”  - George Orwell


The American people remain eager to be persuaded that a new president in the White House can solve the problems that plague us.

Yet no matter who wins this presidential election, you can rest assured that the new boss will be the same as the old boss, and we—the permanent underclass in America—will continue to be forced to march in lockstep with the police state in all matters, public and private.

Indeed, it really doesn’t matter what you call them—the Deep State, the 1%, the elite, the controllers, the masterminds, the shadow government, the police state, the surveillance state, the military industrial complex—so long as you understand that no matter which party occupies the White House in 2021, the unelected bureaucracy that actually calls the shots will continue to do so.

In the interest of liberty and truth, here are a few hard truths about life in the American police state that will persist no matter who wins the 2020 presidential election. Indeed, these issues persisted—and in many cases flourished—under both Republican and Democratic administrations in recent years.

Police militarization will continue. Thanks to federal grant programs allowing the Pentagon to transfer surplus military supplies and weapons to local law enforcement agencies without charge, police forces will continue to be transformed from peace officers to heavily armed extensions of the military, complete with jackboots, helmets, shields, batons, pepper-spray, stun guns, assault rifles, body armor, miniature tanks and weaponized drones. “Today, 17,000 local police forces are equipped with such military equipment as Blackhawk helicopters, machine guns, grenade launchers, battering rams, explosives, chemical sprays, body armor, night vision, rappelling gear and armored vehicles,” stated Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. “Some have tanks.”

Overcriminalization will continue. In the face of a government bureaucracy consumed with churning out laws, statutes, codes and regulations that reinforce its powers and value systems and those of the police state and its corporate allies, we will all continue to be viewed as petty criminals, guilty of violating some minor law. Thanks to an overabundance of 4,500-plus federal crimes and 400,000-plus rules and regulations, it is estimated that the average American actually commits three felonies a day without knowing it. In fact, according to law professor John Baker, “There is no one in the United States over the age of 18 who cannot be indicted for some federal crime.” Consequently, we now find ourselves operating in a strange new world where small farmers who dare to make unpasteurized goat cheese and share it with members of their community are finding their farms raided, while home gardeners face jail time for daring to cultivate their own varieties of orchids without having completed sufficient paperwork. This frightening state of affairs—where a person can actually be arrested and incarcerated for the most innocent and inane activities, including feeding a whale and collecting rainwater on their own property—is due to what law scholars refer to as overcriminalization." . . .

Radical left groups are already plotting a coup  "A new website is leaking internal documents, images, and videos from radical left groups and people working inside the federal government planning a coup if President Trump wins re-election.  The only way to defeat these people and their ideology is for Trump to have an overwhelming victory that establishes his mandate to restore America's constitutional order.

"The website is called "Sunrise Exposed," and it went live on Sunday.  The site explains:

This website houses leaked internal documents, images, videos, and internal communications from The Sunrise Movement and other radical left affinity groups.

"What's gotten the most play since the website went live are two videos, one in which federal employees talk about how to take down the Trump government from within and the other in which Antifa-style activists make plans for a full-scale war, one that involves killing people.  YouTube has already removed the second video.' , , ,

Gavin Newsom's Abuse of Power Declared Unconstitutional; Permanent Injunction Issued

"California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-PrivateJet) was Whitmered in spectacular fashion by a Sutter County Superior Court Judge in a just-released ruling; an Executive Order Newsom issued June 3 that amended sections of the state’s Elections Code was declared unconstitutional and a permanent injunction has been issued, barring Newsom from issuing additional Executive Orders that amend, change, alter, or create new statutory law or legislative policy.

"As we previously reported, Newsom was sued by two Republican Assemblymembers, Kevin Kiley and James Gallagher over his one-man rule. A trial was held October 21, and Judge Sarah H. Heckman issued her tentative decision today."  . . .

Pelosi Calls Amy Coney Barrett An ‘Illegitimate Supreme Court Justice’

 Daily Caller

"Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett is an “illegitimate” member of the court Tuesday.

"In a press conference with Democratic Illinois Rep. Cheri Bustos, Pelosi mentioned Barrett’s confirmation, saying, “the president is installing an illegitimate Supreme Court Justice one week before the election, after 60 million Americans have voted, who will dismantle the ACA, and won’t say, by the way, when asked, by Senator Feinstein, do you think Medicare is constitutional? She said she really couldn’t say.”

"Every Democrat opposed Barrett’s confirmation. Republican Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski was on the fence about how she was going to vote but ended up voting in favor of Barrett’s confirmation.

"Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee boycotted the committee vote on Barrett and instead filled their seats in the committee with life-sized posters of people who could be hurt if the Affordable Care Act were to be repealed. (RELATED: ‘Abuse of Power’ — McConnell Slams Democrats Over Court Packing, Says They ‘Refuse To Give A Straight Answer’)

"Democrats have continued to say that if Barrett is confirmed, she will be the one to give the deciding vote on repealing the Affordable Care Act. (RELATED: Protesters Interrupt Chuck Schumer During Amy Coney Barrett Boycott Speech) ". . .

By Their Own CRITERIA, Democrats Are The Ones UNDERMINING American Democracy

 Socio-Political Journal

The Democratic Party’s policies and tactics since Trump’s 2016 nomination are, almost to a letter, right out of leftist Harvard professors' litmus test for detecting assaults on democracy


"Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt, professors of government at Harvard University, issued an ominous warning for the United States in 2018 in their book “How Democracies Die.” Today, democracies are more likely to perish due to the insidious erosion of fundamental democratic institutions at the hands of elected leaders than as a result of a dramatic coup. If the United States were to experience a democratic crisis, it would most likely begin at the ballot box.

"While the book clearly displays the left’s obsession with President Donald Trump’s alleged authoritarian tendencies, the authors concede that the president hasn’t really broken any democratic rules. Democracy and its institutions remain intact under Trump.

"The book’s real albeit unintended takeaway is the disturbing extent to which the Democratic Party’s policies and tactics since Trump’s 2016 nomination are, almost to a letter, right out of the authors’ litmus test for detecting assaults on democracy. The use of the pandemic to justify gross violations of civil liberties, threats of a court-packing scheme, the persistent and fanciful Russian collusion narrative, the failure to condemn Antifa and Black Lives Matter violence, and media-tech silence, suppression, and censorship don’t just raise red flags; they sound so fearful an alarm that, at this point, only the willfully deaf are refusing to take heed.

"Levitsky and Ziblatt warn that although America’s institutions are robust, citizens must not take democracy for granted. Political parties should avoid stoking the flames of authoritarianism by making devil’s bargains with radical elements, both within the party or with extremist outsiders, to secure electoral victory.

"The authors propose four indicators for discerning undemocratic trends. Predictably, they argue Trump checks every box. But the claims rely heavily on off-color banter from campaign rallies that never translated into policy, as well as Trump’s allegations of media dishonesty and potential electoral fraud that have ended up being more perspicacious than authoritarian.

"In any case, the authors have admitted Trump has not been much of a dictator. If you apply the behavioral warning signs to the Democratic Party, however, the results are uncanny." . . .

Texas Police Blame Incompetent Biden Supporter For Running Into a Trump Supporter's Pickup

 RedState  "Over the weekend, the Biden campaign, showing the courage that is sure to get the United States carpet-bombed should he be elected president on Tuesday, cancelled several campaign stops in Texas. The campaign was doing that perennial head fake that is called “turning Texas Blue” for the profoundly stupid who populate the ranks of Democrat true believers. Texas is not turning anything but Red in 2020 and everyone knows that. Why the campaign showed the white feather, so to speak, is more interesting. The Biden campaign bus, affectionately known as the Pudding and Sweet Cheeks Express to party faithful, was shadowed throughout Texas by a Trump pickup truck caravan.

"While being safely escorted by an impenetrable wall of pickups driven by actual men…something that set hearts aflutter among all of Biden’s staffers…one car driven by a Biden loyalist tried to force a pro-Trump pickup off the road. That did not work out well." . . .
