 Via Billy

Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., speaks at a news conference in front of House Republicans after Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Laura Cooper arrived for a closed door meeting to testify as part of the House impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, Wednesday, Oct. 23, 2019, on Capitol Hill in Washington. …

Representatives and senators are expected to object to Electoral College votes on Wednesday, which will set off a procedure allowing Republicans to air allegations of vote fraud.

A growing list of Republicans in the House say they will object to electors from several states when the Congress convenes on January 6, U.S. Rep.-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) detailed on Wednesday.

 Nearly 30 Republicans from the House of Representatives have vowed to object to the certification of Electoral College votes on January 6.

The national Republican Party is as STUPID as you can get. Their poster child for stupidity is Sen. James M. Inhofe of Oklahoma.

Inhofe, who is chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, gave Elizabeth Warren a huge victory over millions of Republican voters in the South when he allowed her Section 377 into the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021, which requires that the names of century old U.S. Army bases in the South, such as Fort Benning and Fort Bragg, be changed.

Inhofe didn't need to do this. He has a Republican majority on the Senate Armed Services Committee, and President Trump is vehemently against it, but, again, Inhofe is an idiot.

Political Correctness in the History of the South

 Via Billy

See the source image

I was recently gifted The South Was Right, by James Ronald and Walter Donald Kennedy, an updated version of a work originally produced in 1994. Seeking an antidote to the PC historiography in which our universities are now awash, I happily plunged into this printed gift.

The present “leftist ideologues,” more than their predecessors, hate the white South and have worked tirelessly to discredit it, facing no significant opposition. As a result, “everything associated with the traditional, conservative Bible-believing South has been demonized.” This is especially true since “older forms of Marxism,” the Kennedy brothers write, have been replaced by “Neo-Marxists composed of liberals, progressives, socialists and other social justice warriors.” Such complaints echo my own arguments about the rampaging “post-Marxist Left” that is taking over our country.

McConnell Blocks Initial $2,000 Stimulus Check Bill: Democrats ‘Quietly Changed’ What Trump Wanted To Give Money To Their Rich Friends

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Republican from Kentucky, left, speaks during a news conference following the Senate Republican policy luncheon on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Tuesday, July 21, 2020. The White House and Congress have only a few weeks to come up with another stimulus to prevent the economic rout caused by the coronavirus from deepening as the outbreak is surging across the country.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) blocked a $2,000 stimulus check bill on Wednesday, saying that Democrats “quietly changed” what President Donald Trump wanted in the bill. He said Democrats were attempting “to let wealthy households suck up even more money,” and that they were trying to do away with a repeal of Section 230 and a review of the recent election.

McConnell started out by slamming socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) for holding up the override vote on Trump’s veto of the National Defense Authorization Act.

President Trump Abruptly Cuts Florida Vacation Short to Return to Washington

 

 The Gateway Pundit

President Trump is cutting his Florida vacation short to return to Washington.

The President last week traveled to his Mar-a-Lago estate in West Palm Beach to celebrate the Christmas holiday with First Lady Melania.

The White House made the announcement on Wednesday however they didn’t give a reason for the President’s abrupt change of plans.

Trump will return to Washington Thursday, a few days earlier than previously planned.

President Trump likely wants to be in Washington as we come to the crescendo of this battle against the corrupt Democrat machine.

Earlier today Senator Josh Hawley announced he will object to the certification process on January 6th.

Trump’s legal team is still working around the clock appealing to state legislatures and urging them exercise their powers under Article II Section 1 Clause 2 of the Constitution and choose to send Trump electors to Washington on January 6th.

 Full Transcript: President Trump's Republican National Convention Speech -  The New York Times

At stake is whether our country survives as a constitutional republic from this covert, insidious attack both from within by the aid and comfort by elected and unelected officials and others owing allegiance to the United States and by the assistance of hostile foreign governments and The New World Order.  As Benjamin Franklin said, our government is, A republic, if you can keep it. As explained by Richard Berman, “. . . democratic republics are not merely founded upon the consent of the people, they are also absolutely dependent upon the active and informed involvement of the people for their continued good health.”  [My emphasis] We must preserve the rule of law and put an end to this unequal system of justice — rules for thee, but not for me.  As John Adams said, “[We are] a Government of Laws, Not of Men.”

Our founders were visionary and provided ways to resolve disputed Presidential elections. Constitutional law expert Attorney Jenna Ellis, a Trump legal team member, outlined this procedure. The most straightforward solution is for the six contested states' legislatures to convene on their initiative by a simple majority vote without being called into session by a reluctant governor. Then by a resolution by a simple majority vote, reclaim their state’s electors pledged for Biden and appoint electors for Trump before Congress meets Jan. 6, 2020.

[Photos] The Maritime Idyll of 1965 Phan Thiet

 

Before it became a weekend destination for workweek-weary Saigoneers, Phan Thiet was an austere fishing town.

John Hansen, an American veteran, snapped these shots of the sleepy coastal area during a visit in 1965. The pastel-toned photographs reveal a town and economy focused on fishing. Boats make daily pilgrimages to the sea to gather sea creatures, while a fish sauce factory churns out the golden-hued godsend of a sauce. People's intimate relationship with the sea is perhaps best exemplified by the stilt homes with special docks for one to arrive via boat. It's a nice reminder that if humans could fly, we would probably have doors on our roofs.

Mark Levin: 'On January 6, We Learn Whether Our Constitution Will Hold'; and 'Whether Congressional Republicans Care'

Seven days, America; win, lose, or draw.

I wrote an article in early December titled Mark Levin Has Seen Enough: ‘It Is Time for the US Supreme Court to Intercede’ — and He’s Definitely Not Happy With PA, in which I reported on the fiery Levin going absolutely off on Pennsylvania, and demanding that the Supreme Court intercede. That did not happen.

Seven days, America; it’s for all the marbles.

One week from today, four years of rancor, distrust, and bitter political divisiveness will come to a head on Capitol Hill, as Congress meets to vote on the certification of Electoral votes to make Joe Biden the 46th president of the United States.

While only God knows what will transpire just outside, and no doubt across the country, there is far more at stake than who becomes the 46th president. As Fox News host, author, and Constitutional lawyer Mark Levin sees it, January 6, 2021, will be more about whether “our Constitution will hold” — and “whether Congressional Republicans care” if it does.

In a Wednesday op-ed for The Blaze, “The Great One” masterfully laid out the gravity.

A Lesson from Robert E. Lee: We can't find a reason to honor the Civil War general because we've forgotten why we needed him in the first place.

 Via David


Dated

There once was a general who fought a war to protect slavery. That’s not how he would have described it. He would have said he was fighting to protect his way of life from a foreign invader. Whatever construction he put on it, his so-called way of life rested on the sweat wrung from forced labor on plantations and gold earned from buying and selling black flesh.

That general was Samori TourĂ©. The West African chieftain is honored today by black nationalists for resisting French imperialism in the Mandingo Wars of the late nineteenth century, but thousands of Africans were enslaved by Samori’s raiders in the course of building up his empire. After his final defeat in 1898, for more than a decade, columns of refugees tramped into French Guinea to return to their home villages as they escaped or were liberated from Banamba or Bamako or wherever Samori’s men had sold them. 

Ta-Nehisi Coates named his son Samori, after the great resister. That means that Between the World and Me, the best-selling anti-racist tract of the current century, which takes the form of letters from Coates to his son, is addressed to someone named after a prolific enslaver of black Africans.

POLITICS Missouri senator to contest Biden's Electoral College votes

Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley says he will contest certification of Electoral  College vote

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., says he will raise objections next week when the Congress meets to decide whether to affirm the Electoral College votes for Joe Biden, forcing House and Senate votes that are likely to delay the final certification.

President Donald Trump has charged there was widespread fraud in the election. He has pushed Republican senators to pursue those charges even though the Electoral College this month declared Biden had 306 votes to Trump's 232.

A group of Republicans in the Democratic-majority House have already said they will object on Trump’s behalf during the Jan. 6 count of electoral votes, and they had needed just a single senator to go along with them to force votes in both chambers.

Hawley said he would object because “some states, including notably Pennsylvania” did not follow their own election laws.

“At the very least, Congress should investigate allegations of voter fraud and adopt measures to secure the integrity of our elections,” Hawley said in a statement Wednesday.

If the Harris/Biden duo take the WH, our constitutional republic will be dead within two years. We will morph into a democracy of mob rule. No democracy in the history of the world has survived; they all go down in flames. It will also be the end of the Republican Party. The shadow government is close to stealing this election with no one held accountable and it will be their SOP from here on out. Are you going to stop this steal ? Your oath of office demands it.

We are approaching the 11th hour and still not a single U.S. Senator or Senator-elect is willing to stand Jan. 6th to stop the stealing of this presidential race.  Perhaps one might find the courage do what should be a given considering there’s an ocean of hard evidence of this concerted effort to put Harris/Biden in the WH.

James Madison: Four Steps to Stop Federal Programs

Via  Kirk 

 James Madison: Four Steps to Stop Federal Programs | Tenth Amendment Center

Writing in Federalist #46, James Madison provided a 4-step strategy to bring down federal programs, whether they’re merely unpopular, or unconstitutional.

Here’s what he had to say in the letter, The Influence of the State and Federal Governments Compared:

“Should an unwarrantable measure of the federal government be unpopular in particular States, which would seldom fail to be the case, or even a warrantable measure be so, which may sometimes be the case, the means of opposition to it are powerful and at hand. The disquietude of the people; their repugnance and, perhaps refusal to cooperate with officers of the Union, the frowns of the executive magistracy of the State; the embarrassment created by legislative devices, which would often be added on such occasions, would oppose, in any State, very serious impediments; and were the sentiments of several adjoining States happen to be in Union, would present obstructions which the federal government would hardly be willing to encounter.”

In short, Madison said that when the federal government passes an unconstitutional measure there are powerful methods to oppose it – amongst the people and in the states.  He also pointed out that those same methods were available even for warrantable, that is constitutional, measures.

Democratic Lawmakers Could End Up With GOP House Speaker Thanks to COVID-19 Rules

 

Due to a number of unforeseen events, current Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s grip on power has grown more tenuous. The vote for her to retain her lofty position is scheduled for Jan. 3, and there is anxiety among some Pelosi allies that there may not be enough Democratic votes on that date for her to keep the gavel.

According to The Hill, COVID-19 illnesses, a loss of a dozen Democratic seats during the 2020 elections and three obstinate Democratic House members could keep enough Democratic voting members from voting “yes” that it could cost Pelosi the speaker’s position. Not only that, but it could even mean a Republican like House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California could sneak in and win the coveted spot.

The problem with patriots is their sense of fair play and duty. They are easily backed down from taking a stance by the propaganda machine branding them with one detestable attribute or another.

........The summer land where the sun doth shine,
Where the weak grow strong and the strong grow great,
Here’s to “Down Home,” the Old North State!

Here’s to the land of the cotton bloom white,
Where the scuppernong perfumes the breeze at night,
Where the soft southern moss and jessamine mate,
‘Neath the murmuring pines of the Old North State!

Here’s to the land where the galax grows,
Where the rhododendron’s rosette glows,
Where soars Mount Mitchell’s summit great,
In the “Land of the Sky,” in the Old North State!

Here’s to the land where maidens* are fair,
Where friends are true and cold hearts rare,
The near land, the dear land, whatever fate,
The blest land, the best land, the Old North State!

O I'm a good old rebel, Now that's just what I am. For this "fair land of freedom" I do not care a damn. I'm glad I fit against it, I only wish we'd won, And I don't want no pardon For anything I done. 

I hates the Constitution, This great republic too, I hates the Freedmans' Buro, In uniforms of blue. I hates the nasty eagle, With all his braggs and fuss, The lyin' thievin' Yankees, I hates 'em wuss and wuss.

I hates the Yankees nation And everything they do, I hates the Declaration, Of Independence, too. I hates the glorious Union- 'Tis dripping with our blood- I hates their striped banner, I fit it all I could.

Three hundred thousand Yankees Is still in Southern dust, We got three hundred thousand Before they conquered us. They died of Southern fever And Southern steel and shot, I wish they was three million Instead of what we got. 

 I can't take up my musket And fight 'em now no more, But I ain't going to love 'em, Now that is sarten sure, And I don't want no pardon For what I was and am. I won't be reconstructed, And I don't care a damn.
