So Kev McCarthy will be Speaker. I’ll say up front that I disagree with Tom Luongo’s view that this whole process somehow “turned CSPAN into must-see TV.” The real action was going on behind closed doors—but that’s a minor point and, of course, a matter of taste and personal preference to some extent.
I go back to remembering when the One was selected in 2008. My mom was extremely distressed when that happened. How naive I was in my response to her. I reassured her that the USA could survive such an outcome. That the country was too big, resilient, and dare I say diverse to fall under the selection of one radical as chief executive. How wrong I was. The damage and accelerated pace of that damage has been overwhelming to say the least. Why do I today have this persistent sinking feeling in my gut? Nothing should surprise anymore. After all they tried to kill, damage and terrify us all with an engineered germ and a cure. To what other lengths will these crazies go to achieve their perceived life’s purpose? Rational actors they are not. Maybe that’s why I am uncomfortable about the future course of events. This current crop of rulers are dangerous to our health and well-being. They quite simply are insane in their pursuits.
Bolton actually looks like a walrus. Nothing like Thor though who Brits fell in love with - we even cancelled new year fireworks so as not to disturb him...unlike Norway who shot their visiting walrus (b****rds).
While disagreeing with your lack of optimism, you dis a great job explaining your concerns. I think the GOP is in the best position it has been in since 1994.
Re: culture war, Andrew Breitbart always said that the culture war was much more significant than political war, that if you don't win the culture war, it's all over. Regarding the House. The GOP was enraged when we gave the House a landslide victory in Nov. 2010, hated the people we gave them, told them to sit down and shut up. We'd given them this massive victory for one reason, to enable them to defund ObamaCare, as the House has one unilateral power, power of the purse. It can defund anything as long as that's the only issue in the bill. But GOP showed us who's boss. A few times they brought bills mentioning defunding ObamaCare but they always included an additional topic in the bill. As such it would also have to be approved by the Senate. Then the GOP doubled down, told us we were mistaken, that the House didn't really have "power of the purse." GOP prefers to be permanent minority. Until 1994, the House had been controlled by Democrats for 40 straight years.
In fact, Musk has done more in two months to bring to light crimes committed by U.S. officials than William Barr and John Durham did during their three-year investigation of the FBI’s election interference activities during the 2016 election. Musk now owns what became a crucial component of the national security apparatus that, seen in this light, is worth many times more than the $44 billion he paid for it.
The Republican attorney general of the United States, William Barr—the ultimate DOJ insider—knew the FBI was working to fix the 2020 election and did nothing to stop it.
Barr resigned from the administration a month after the election, outraged that Trump kept pushing him to investigate election fraud when, according to Barr, there was no evidence of it. And yet on his watch, law enforcement agencies under his authority ran the biggest election interference operation in U.S. history.
**William Barr did not respond to a request for comment.**
It seems Barr’s contempt for the president he served blinded him—along with the class of people to which he belongs, Democrats and Republicans alike—to an essential fact:
**A whole-of-society industry designed to shape elections and censor, propagandize, and spy on Americans was never simply a weapon to harm Donald Trump. It was designed to replace the republic.**
"The initial report showed Democratic presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden taking the county by more than 3,000 votes, with 7,769 voters opting for Biden over the 4,509 votes for incumbent President Donald Trump."

Antrim County posts incorrect election results | The Antrim Review
Original local reporting about Biden winning an overwhelmingly conservative county:
(Note, the article is from Nov 05, 2020, just one day after election day. When you Google this you will only find articles way later written, none of them quoting the original voting result tally of Biden winning decisively)
This election day result is the beginning of the controversy over election voting machines (Dominion).
Biden winning Antrim County on Election Day was never really explained except for the "software update mishap" theory by Michigan officials. Barr took a pass on investigating it, it was widely denounced as a conspiracy theory by the press. I followed this closely at the time and thought that challenging the election would only be possible if Barr got the DOJ and FBI involved, he chose not to. Now we know why, CTH was right all along. Barr wanted Trump to lose, no matter what really happened.
You cannot find this article from the Antrim County Review on Google anymore, they are censoring it. I did originally find this article on Google about a year ago, when looking into the claims about the Antrim County election results. This time around I had to go to BING to find it. GOOLE will not list it, even though I tried to feed it the entire URL of the article. NOW if that is not censoring, I do not know what is? The old pre-Musk TWITTER would be proud.
When AG Rosen was asked at the J6 inquiry if the Machine count for Antrim County matched the Hand count, he stated it did, and poof the whole controversy was dispelled/dismissed, total Head Fake in my opinion. He did not lie under oath, as they made sure not to ask him the relevant question (and that is how the game is played).
They should have asked: did the Original Election Day count matched the days later revised Machine Count (after the so-called software glitch was now updated/fixed and the Machine Count rerun) or the much later Hand count. He would have had to testify that it did not, and as such acknowledge that there was a valid reason for questioning the election day results. So, the J6 truth seekers made sure not to ask that question!
Yes, and as you so brilliantly put together in your exposé a few days ago - Elmers on Gage’s book on Hoover and the long, but very slippery slope from wiretaps to algorithms and full blown censorship - we’ve all but trashed ( or should I say, the IC/fourth branch born under Wilson), aided and abetted by technology, the power of finance and, last but not least, our unmooring from ethics, those common “cultural norms” KD mentions…it is bittersweet to hear again Washington warning of foreign entanglements, when it’s our own “Nat Sec” throwing elections…to read all you have posted here, along with such brilliant commentary, the scales have fallen from my eyes, as have the tears…
I can see the Dow at 40,000, only to be at 10,000 three weeks later. In 1929 the Dow peaked three weeks before hitting its low. Inflation, higher interest and a continuation of foreign policy blunders are a given. Biden and politics together with a catastrophic economy have turned off the American citizen to a point where there is no comparison with anything in our history, and if the politicians had any brains, which they don't, they would perceive the battle for the speakership as a sign that the public is fed up. This was a last-minute attempt on the part of the 'rebels' to get the government somewhat in line with the will of the people, and reality as well for that matter.
I noticed yesterday that Luongo has the following quote on his Twitter timeline: "An evil man will burn his own country to the ground to rule the ashes" - Sun Tzu (which is of course a variation of the "rather rule in hell than serve in heaven" line from Milton and Star Trek's Khan). It's a legitimate concern based on human nature. - we had better hope that sentiment isn't too prevalent among the governments of the west.
How does one determine the potential limits on suicidal craziness (either the Davosian or Neocon variety)? Speaking of which, Bolton is apparently running for President now:
I may be long winded (too many years alone in a truck is my excuse, those unspoken words...) but I do try to recognize, appreciate and encourage you all for our mutual, shared interests, courtesy of Mark's research and, I expect countless hours viewing/reading/evaluating the wide array of info he digests and shares. Thanks to Mark specifically.
@Rascal Nick Of (fellow Idahoan) I suspect many think Dow 40K will happen (seriously). I don't dismiss the possibility, but a long term bear market is still running the show; recall the 2000 bear market was 3 years and, with less fuel, way more volatile than we've seen thus far. (Sorry, I know his isn't a financial digest). Biden impeached? Good arguments both ways: replace Zhou with Cackles? That alone may be the most significant obstacle.
I'll add while past 2 elections are 'suspect', perhaps winners were not genuine, my sadness is that there are SO MANY who stand in line for more of the Progressive Kook Aid, not seeming to get enough of lies, deceipt and moral depravity.
Until a 'moral revolution' (with it's related physical-type revolutions) erupts, the garbage will continue to accumulate. Eventually, those of us who keep our heads down trying to live our lives honestly and privately will be forced to join ranks of stopping the madness.
I hope.
Blessings one and all, thanks for letting me be a part of your community here! (Wayne - of Weiser)
Agreed on the 40K. Re: Biden there is a difference between impeachment (indictment) and removal (conviction) but I don't think either will happen. Thanks, Wayne, for stating a fundamental truth about the need for moral revolution.
Thank you for your reply - It's a difficult call in knowing I'm 'hands and feet' of my God. I do enjoy that in some venues being of faith isn't ridiculed, altho' I've found when I've experienced such in the past -in Faith or during my military service long ago- it's because how I'm functioning is 'over the target'. It still hurts, but really only significantly when I'm being called out when I'm wrong.
;^) which is too often, try tho' I might to be accurate!
RE: impeachment... knowing the senate would pretend to do their job no matter the facts means impeaching Biden is a lowering of our (conservatives) standard to the ignoble and decrepit ones displayed during Trump's presidency. I know, I know - all too often 'we' don't fight back (etc.) and I would not rule out an impeachment, but it's best it be solid and all things considered if entered into- not lightly. Best regards!

Bolton, he is a walrus, and his announcement is very much the same kind of behavior as was recently displayed by another walrus named Thor!
Luongo's Dow prediction seems a bit optimistic, 12,000 would be a reasonable number, IF Wall Street had any actual rationality left.
I am sure that there are many of us who have not only been black pilled, we have had the black suppository forcibly administered too.

Can you expand upon “Neocon foreign policy establishment” or point to an article you’ve written for more insight ?
It's a wide ranging term.Just stick around and you'll learn some.

This is about Antrim County, Michigan:
