Total Recall . . . but for the perfidy of Pence, Amendment 12 would have been invoked on 6JAN20. Instead we have Zhou and K. Heresy! I am certain to be tagged as an extremist by the powers that be.

As an ongoing student of both modern campaigns waged inside the Russian border (Napoleon’s 1812/Operation Barbarossa) IMHO if Putin was going to assault Ukraine it would’ve happened already. It’s mid February which leaves precious little time for offensive operations due to the onset of the “rasputitsa” or wet/rainy season. Whether campaigning with armies on foot or armored vehicles, the Russian mud is legendary & is dredged up by rains/melting snow in the spring & autumn. Either late spring or after the ground is frozen hard is the time to launch an offensive, not now. Moreover, an action of this type & scale would required significant staging areas where fuel/ammo/foodstuffs/medical equipment would need to be stockpiled to be released to the front. These should be easily identifiable from satellite imagery. Has anyone seen any photos released by the Pentagon/DoD? Thus far I haven’t.

Total Recall would be a beautiful thing ;<)

I read an article in American Thinker today entitled "America Is Approaching Financial Doomsday". A collapse of our economy would have all people living in America (well, most), not only citizens, longing for the return of a smart businessman who ended the Obama recession and made us energy exporters.

President Trump himself said on December 2, 2020:

"Moreover, we must never again have an election in which there is not a reliable and transparent system to verify the eligibility, identity, and residency of every single person who casts a ballot, a very, very cherished ballot. Many very smart people have congratulated me on all we’ve done: the biggest tax cuts in history, regulation cuts, the biggest in history. We rebuilt our military. We took care of our vets like never before, Space Force, and so much more. Then they went on to say, as big and as important as these events were, the single greatest achievement in your presidency will be exactly what you’re doing right now: voter integrity for our nation. It’s more important than any of the things that we discussed. If we don’t root out the fraud, the tremendous and horrible fraud that’s taken place in our 2020 election, we don’t have a country anymore. With the resolve and support of the American people, we will restore honesty and integrity to our elections. We will restore trust in our system of government. Thank you. God bless you. God bless America."

He more recently stated that this cannot wait too long. The danger to America's survival is too great.

The article in American Thinker concludes:

"One way or another, this fiscal insanity will come to an end, and the final act can end in one of two ways: either a strong force of fiscally responsible politicians are elected in the midterms and replace the creatures from the Black Lagoon there right now, and put an end to Biden's insane tax-and-spend policies, or the establishment continues with its "let them eat cake," attitude, pushes the economy off the cliff, and plunges the nation into an economic crisis unparalleled since the Great Depression, essentially putting future generations of Americans in debtors' prisons from birth.

You choose. The clock is ticking."

My wife and I have had some things to take care of the last two days. On the way home just now we were talking along these lines. I was saying with all the craziness going on in the country (crime, wokeness, etc.), with a travesty of a regime (non compos Zhou) that's illegit to boot, now add on inflation that seems about to launch beyond anything easily controllable with a population with little experience of hardship ...

Never say never. The 12A scenario is only one that may be under discussion in back rooms.

Agreed. The donkeys know they have a big problem (of their own creation) without an easy solution. If the next six months sees inflation continue unabated with fuel prices causing real pain for everyday Americans and little effort by Brandon to mitigate the rising costs, it may well result in the biggest congressional rout in the nation's history. Of course, Brandon could drop dead or go catatonic between now and then which would allow the donkeys to catch their breath.

Be nice, but I don't see it happening.

What is driving the White House, a list, in no particular order of their greatest real fears:

1. Biden polling in the 30's.

2. Inflation

3. Fear of Trucker type action in the US

4. Empty Grocery Shelves

5. Mid Term Wipeout of Democrats

6. Durham Investigation

7. Trump Social Media Launch

8. End of Covid Fear Effectiveness

9. Vax and Booster Side Effects comes out

10. Effectiveness of Ivermectrin & HCQ come out

11. Amount of lies / false information on Covid comes out

12. Corruption of Biden comes out

13. Biden has significant illness or gets so bad no public appearances

14. Stock Market and other Bubbles Pops after Interest Rates Hiked

15. Trump is still a threat

16. Establishment GOP is slowly losing power

17. Election Fraud evidence is slowly, drop by drop, dripping out destroying the legitimacy of the Biden Presidency

18. Destruction of Legitimacy / Respect for the Media. The main stream media and Democratic Whitehouse are deeply intertwined through marriage, past jobs, and blood relationships.

I agree with everything on your list, but question whether the White House and their cohorts aren't assuming in their arrogance that they can stay in power no matter what happens.

The only negative feedback they are capable of noticing is polling data. And their only answer for that is to agitate for a new war.

Everything else, their strategy is to cover their eyes like the two-year old who doesn't realize you can see him even if he can't see you.

They won't cheat the next election?

I have assumed they would, but the growing panic suggests maybe they realize they can't get away with it on that scale again. So...I dunno.
