Friends, if at first you don't succeed, try, try again, right? That's certainly the Dems' philosophy. Having failed to impeach and remove (or disqualify) Trump twice, they've got a few more cards up their sleeves. They've got multiple criminal investigations in the works with Donald J. Trump in the crosshairs. This is just one of them: an attempt to charge him with suborning election officials in Georgia. The problem: he didn't explicitly threaten or attempt to bribe anyone, and he wasn't asking that he be falsely declared the winner. He genuinely believed, based on the evidence, that he had won. No matter. Let's try to make it stick, shall we? The scary thing is, depending on the jury, it might!

In other news, Florida isn't alone in taking on Big Tech these days. Many states are pursuing legislation to rein in the digital persecution of conservatives. As the Rod Man argues, not all these laws will pass, and even if they do they might not pass the legal and constitutional smell test. Be that as it may, social media companies ought to be feeling the heat, and that in itself is progress. What we need, more than anything, is for people all around the world to vote with their feet and flee these woke platforms for greener and freer pastures.
Mitch McConnell, to his credit, did not vote to convict Donald Trump of "incitement of insurrection", but it's clear he did so on a technicality. McConnell regards Trump as "practically and morally" guilty. One has to question whether such an impassioned Trump hater, who went out of his way after the Senate's vote not to build bridges in the party but to rail against DJT, is capable of leading the Republican caucus in the Senate. Look for an article on this topic from me in the very near future.

Lastly, this is an article that ought to send chills up every conservative and patriotic spine. Lefties have gotten very good at gaming the system for their own benefit, in this case the levers of corporate power. They've successfully pressured most of our large corporations to parrot the agendas of environmentalism, social justice, enforced "equity", gay and transgender rights, and even Trump hatred. If we conservatives don't get back in the game soon, we may find ourselves shunned by every major institution in the country...and that's no way to "Make America Great Again"!

It is very important to remember that Trump is NOT a Republican, and never has been. However, he had to run for president on a Republican ticket. If anything, he is an American Nationalist, as opposed to existing Democrats and Republicans, who are basically global socialists to the left and right of center. As such, Trump is an outsider, and always will be.
ReplyDeleteClearly Trump's constituency is a large segment of the American population (all races) who oppose elitism and global socialism run by High Tech, intellectual snobs in academia, the media, and the film industry.
Realistically speaking, and in my opinion, there are no pro-Trump Republicans. Professional politicians who are Democrat or Republican basically belong to one party, that could be called The DemoPublicans, who are essentially power brokers in different wings of the same club. Trump is a threat to these people because he sees through their bullshit, period.
Dr.Waddy from Jack: That is a very tellng and characteristic picture of that obnoxious harridan. The raised fist, symbolic of conditions and conflicts of which she has not the slightest ken, is often presumed by untempered leftists; the shrill countenance reveals the frantic brat within.May it rage unabated because every day it reflects more discredit on those who have elevated her two steps from the Presidency!
ReplyDeleteRay, your description of the political scene is very perceptive. Trump isn't a Republican, fundamentally, and neither is the Republican Party in essence pro-Trump. There is, or was, an uneasy alliance between them -- nothing more. Nonetheless, people like McConnell would be well advised to preserve this alliance at all costs. For, if you hollow the GOP out and remove the Trumpers, what you have left is a lost cause.
ReplyDeleteTrue, Jack -- Pelosi becomes more and more Pelosi-like every day, if that makes any sense. She's indulging her inner toddler, and she's thus improving our prospects in 2022 and 2024 every time she opens her mouth. Keep it up, Crazy Nancy!
