President Joe Biden is learning firsthand how difficult former President Donald Trump’s job was over the last year as he struggles to fulfill his promise of getting a handle on the coronavirus. The Biden Administration cannot account for as many as 20 million vaccine doses that have been sent to states, according to a report from Politico.

Here we have it. They are going after EVERYONE who has a gun or ammunition. They are deeply concerned about a revolution and they want to know every person who has a gun or ammunition. The object of this bill will be to identify every person who has a gun. They will be able to revoke a license and confiscate the gun under rules to be created by the Attorney General. Biden swore he would end the NRA. He was not joking. Like a diverse license, once they create this federal license, they effectively limit the Second Amendment claiming if you obey all their regulations which they can change at any time, then you have that right. But all such rights are eliminated whenever they say so.

Many upsetting things have occurred over the last year. The natural reaction is to cast blame, or to jump to pre-mature conclusions.
We should, in the spirit of Parley, place aside our differences, place aside our biases of one another, and have a respectful conversation in order to improve our society. We shall check our baggage at the door, and start fresh with one another.
I believe everyone in the tech community, political, and others should put their differences aside to move forward together.

Over the past few weeks, Parler has been repeatedly mischaracterized and treated unjustly. But the recent personal attacks on our CEO John, his wife Alina, and their family are reprehensible.
Alina, whose working-class family lived in the former Soviet Union, came to America to start her own multi-racial, interfaith family with John. To subject them to baseless accusations that their marriage is part of some twisted espionage scheme—all because she is an immigrant—is precisely the sort of “racism, nativism, fear, [and] demonization” President Biden urged us to reject in his inaugural address.
The Entire Parler Team stands behind John and Alina. Our new President called for unity: “We must end this uncivil war that pits red against blue, rural versus urban, conservative versus liberal. We can do this, if we open our souls instead of hardening our hearts.” The smears against John and Alina are exactly the sort of tactics he is imploring us all to abandon. Let’s all commit to working together toward unity and healing.

By Arthur Kemp PAGE 8 • THE BARNES REVIEW • JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2021
EXTRACT:
TWO PATHS: There are therefore essentially two paths open to White Americans.The first is to do nothing, and just let things slide so that Whites become a minority in the country their ancestors founded.
This will inevitably lead to America becoming a larger version of present-day South Africa, which contains a shrinking White minority, hated and despised because they still are the only ones who can create wealth and progress—blamed for all non-White failures to achieve, and subjected to ever increasing violent criminality as the have-nots seize what little the Whites have left.
The second option is for European political activists to finally understand that the only manner in which they can assure their survival is through a radical re-understanding of the relationship between race, political power and demographics. Whites will not survive as a minority. Survival can only be achieved by being a majority in your own geo-graphically defined region. And here is the good news—at last.
Despite the grim-sounding demographic projections outlined earlier, Whites are only shrinking when expressed as a percentage of the entire population, and not in real numbers. In fact, there are possibly more Americans of European descent than ever before, and this fact must never be forgotten. Astute political activists must therefore take heart from this fact, learn the relationship between race and demographics, and bring this principle to practical application. This means not relying on “Trumpism” to save them—it will not—but instead to start actively working towards geographic consolidation.
Politically conscious European-Americans will have to start actively congregating in certain areas, with the aim of being a majority and, eventually, edging towards secession as the rest of the U.S. declines into Third World status.This is the ultimate law of nature: Those who form the majority population in a territory determine the nature of the civilization in that region.There are, of course, huge stumbling blocks on this path. An aggressive far-left administration, inherently hostile mass media and other factors will make this task difficult. But, before the naysayers dismiss it as impossible, they would do well to answer the question: What else do they propose? What other choices are there? The road to European-American survival will not be easy. But it is a path which must be trod, because the alternative is endless night.

It’s time to stop. People who criticize Q for being a method of quelling the masses offer little difference when they speak of keeping oaths and defending the republic against all enemies foreign and domestic.
None of it is happening.
The most logical and rational meme is that “no one is coming to save you.” Also, no one is going to save the republic. There are a lot of reasons for this, good, logical reasons. One is that the chances of a patriot surviving the first conversation with a federal agent are slim and none. Who knows who they are, they have infiltrated every situation. Suddenly, the patriot is carted off for conspiracy of something. So, there is no one to trust.
The reason for this is that the war has been raging for decades. The enemy is inside the lines. In fact, they are the lines. Those who hate America as founded and hate those who adhere to the founding are using the prison system as POW camps. No one has tried to stop these agencies from doing what they do. The truth is, they won. The declaration by the DHS that identified Trump supporters as “domestic terrorists” (up to 80 million people) proves that they won. All without our side having to exhibit heroism.

Trump Team’s Peter Navarro Drops Third Major Report
Sidney Powell: “President Trump Had 80 Million Voters
~~edutcher
If you think Mrs Powell is blowing smoke, you can do the math yourself.
In '19, the voting age population in this country was 255 million (rounded).
The rule of thumb is only about half are registered to vote, but you can use the Census figure of 60% and it still works.
Turnout was about 2/3, as it usually is.
Assume
all the votes Trump got are honest. Reasonable since everybody figured
he'd win. If you want to assume he got more, there is evidence to
support it, but we don't need it here.
That math gives us a pool of between 86 to 100 million votes cast in toto.
With
those figures, the lying dog-faced pony soldier and the Ho got between
12 million and 26 million votes (no wonder they stuffed the ballot
boxes). It also means Lin Wood's statement Trump may have taken 49
states and other estimates that he won CA may be a lot closer to the
truth than we might have imagined otherwise.
To accept what the
Left says, that the doofus from Dover got 80 million votes, you'd need a
pool of 154 million votes. That means you'd either have to have 100%
turnout (even the Demos concede that didn't happen) or a pool of 201
million registered voters, which means there are either 400 million
people in this country or a lot of grade school kids voted.
Many state and county Republican Party committees across the country are showing their loyalty to former President Trump. In swing states and GOP bastions, state and local Republican committees are stocked with Trump supporters who remain loyal. Trump critics have been pushed out or marginalized.
Party committees from Washington state to South Carolina have moved to punish many of the 10 House Republicans who joined House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and voted to impeach Trump. On Saturday, the South Carolina GOP will decide whether to censure Republican Rep. Tom Rice for his vote to impeach the former president.

The new AT age – “After Trump” – began on either Election Day, Nov. 3, or on Inauguration Day, Jan. 20. But either way, reality as we had known it for four years has been abruptly reinvented.
Pfizer had hinted that a vaccine could be ready in late October. Then, mysteriously, it wasn’t. Then, stranger still, it appeared – a few days after Election Day.
Suddenly, after Joe Biden’s inauguration, Illinois, Michigan and other blue states eased some of their lockdown restrictions to get their economies back on track despite little change in COVID-19 rates.
During the Trump Age, the president was supposedly responsible for every death from COVID-19. Now, the media reports that career scientists and health administrators in the federal government, especially at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, were largely to blame for past slow testing, and were tardy and lax in apprising the nation of the infectious threat.
Coincidentally, after weeks of disastrous state incompetence in getting residents vaccinated, Amazon has told the new administration that it will lend its infrastructure and organization to speed up vaccinations. If Amazon could announce that in late January, why not weeks earlier?
Speaking of Amazon, it is opposing mail-in ballots for its own employees voting on whether to unionize a warehouse in Alabama. Amazon says it’s worried about fraud. Yet Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos also owns the Washington Post, which ridiculed those who were concerned about massive mail-in voting in the 2020 election.

Every once in awhile, Barack Hussein Obama told the truth, and he once told an interviewer that he wouldn't mind running things behind a straw-man president. "President" Joe Biden is a potato head, a man who is obviously suffering from some form of Dementia.
I initially believed the true intention behind stealing the election was to get Biden fraudulently elected and then the Democrat-controlled Congress would use the 25th Amendment to remove Biden and that would allow Vice President Kamala Harris to take the presidency. That theory would certainly support the concerns that the intention was to overthrow the United States Government to a Communist model, because Harris is a solid Communist.
But based on the violent response of Antifa against the Democrat Headquarters in Portland, Oregon after Biden was elected and not immediately removed, it appears Antifa and BLM were also sold that outcome. That hasn't happened and it doesn't appear to be on the horizon either. There is no push by the Democrats to remove Biden, and that has apparently infuriated the leaders of those Domestic Terrorist groups that have been rioting and burning our cities. So what is going on?
The former president who was the most prolific at issuing constitutionally unsound Executive Orders (EOs) was Barack Hussein Obama, and since Biden was "elected", Biden has somehow had the mental resources to issue over 40 EOs since just over one month into his "presidency". Obama liked EOs because he could issue and enforce them until the issue was finally heard and ruled upon by what we now know is a hopelessly corrupt U.S. Supreme Court. That takes a lot of money in legal fees by those opposing the EOs Obama and now Biden has embraced, and that cost has an inhibiting effect when such EOs are blasted out of a White House in a shotgun manner. Most observers are convinced Biden doesn't have the mental capability to write those EOs, so they are also convinced Biden never wrote them himself. They are being prepared for Biden, and like the good little straw-man president he is, whoever is actually running things simply sticks them under Biden's nose and tells him to sign them. I have come to believe the hidden hand behind Joe Biden is former President Barack Hussein Obama.
The incredible organization behind the stolen election in November of 2020 took a great deal of time, planning and money. I believe its genesis began the moment President Trump was sworn into office, and it had to be. All the moves and counter moves had been anticipated by the conspirators. Corrupt judges set up to refuse to hear the evidence of election fraud had to be pre-positioned all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, a court whose Chief Justice John Roberts is strongly suspected of being blackmailed by none other than Barack Hussein Obama for private sexual activities that Roberts is terrified might be publicly revealed. There is evidence Roberts had a relationship with the late Jeffrey Epstein and that Roberts had visited Epstein's Lolita Island. If true, we know Epstein videotaped the sexual encounters in his bedrooms on Lolita Island, particularly of those individuals in positions of power. It was Roberts who dominated the argument against hearing the election fraud Texas lawsuit for alleged lack of standing when it was clear to every honest legal scholar that the Texas lawsuit had solid standing. President Trump had joined that Texas Lawsuit, and if anyone had standing it was President Trump.
We know that, unlike all the presidents before him, Obama stayed active in the political theater, often publicly opposing and criticizing the decisions made by President Trump. Most former presidents go quietly into retirement, but Obama, who had served two terms and could not run for president again, seemed to be campaigning to be president all over again. Based on the circumstantial evidence, behavioral evidence and the content of the EOs issued since Biden was sworn in, I have come to the conclusion that Barack Hussein Obama is in fact making all the decisions for Biden from behind the curtain. In at least one of his homes, Obama installed a specially constructed room that prevented eavesdropping. It was constructed no differently than rooms inside the White House used for intelligence briefings involving discussions of top secret national security matters. I believe the plot hatched to steal the November election was orchestrated in Obama's special room.

First up, subject to Military Tribunal process and judgement: the Governors of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, and Wisconsin followed by the Governors of California and New York.

Slavery, we are repeatedly told, is America’s “original sin.” But unlike the effects of Biblical original sin, there is no possible atonement. The Left and its racial Grievance Factory will never let original sin be blotted out or separated from American politics. In the words of Yale historian David Blight, there exists a “the living residue” connected to African slavery that is “ever-present yet ever-changing in our world.”[1]
According to research by Heartland Institute scholar Duke Pesta, students entering American colleges “are convinced that slavery was an American problem that more or less ended with the Civil War, and they are very fuzzy about the history of slavery prior to the Colonial era. Their entire education about slavery was confined to America.”[2]

Not surprisingly, leftists are milking the January 6 Capitol melee for all its worth. There is a simple reason for that: they wish to use it to introduce a new wave of domestic tyranny into America, just as Republicans did after the 9/11 attacks. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if they start referring to the melee as simply 1/6.
That’s why they continue to describe the melee as an insurrection, revolution, rebellion, sedition, terrorism, invasion, and a grave attempt to destroy our democratic system and overthrow the government. It’s clear, according to leftists, that the intent of the “invaders” was to take control over the reins of the federal government and make Donald Trump king.

George Fitzhugh, a Virginian born in 1806, never progressed in formal education “beyond the old field school” and his learning in the law was picked up on his own. His real education came from independent and wide reading, including what he described as “whole files of infidel and abolition papers” such as the New York Tribune and Liberator. In the early 1850s he wrote that “Liberty and equality are new things under the sun,” that France and the Northern States had proved the experiment was “self-destructive and impracticable.” He saw “half of mankind [as] but grown up children” and it was apparent that “liberty is as fatal to them as it would be to children.”

In a free society, peaceful citizens deserve the legal benefit of the doubt. In an age where government agents have endlessly intruded onto people’s land and into their emails, citizens should not be scourged for transgressing unknown or unmarked federal boundaries.

FBI agents across the nation are tracking down and arresting Trump supporters who walked into the US Capitol during the January 6 protest that turned into a brawl. Scores of protestors have already been charged with unlawful entry—“knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority.” The media is treating this as a heinous and self-evident offense, but my own experience at Washington protests makes me wary of treating transgressions as treason.
I roamed downtown Washington on the day before the inauguration. The city was a ghost town, and most of the stores were either boarded up or out of business.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) got 45 Republicans to side with him and vote on Tuesday that the second impeachment trial against former President Trump is unconstitutional. The motion was voted down 55-45, meaning the trial will proceed. But, as Sen. Paul notes, 45 senators will be more than enough to acquit Trump, meaning that this trial is “dead on arrival.”
Notably, Sen. Mitch McConnell, who publicly criticized Trump for “provoking” the mob that went to the Capitol, voted in favor of Sen. Paul’s point of order.

Excerpt:
Meanwhile, Joe Biden continues to push ahead with his left-wing economic agenda. Democrats on Tuesday reintroduced the Raise the Wage Act, a bill that would increase the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2025. That will squeeze less productive and younger workers out of the labor market, eliminating summer jobs for teenagers and making it harder for people re-entering the labor market to find work — not what anyone would recommend as the economy is still staggering from the pandemic. It would be far better to raise wages at the bottom rungs of the economic ladder by reducing immigration and raising tariffs, moves that would tighten the labor market.

Like a thorn in the side of his antagonists, Donald Trump just made it clear that he will not be going away anytime soon.
With Senate Democrats about to launch another kangaroo court to impeach a private citizen from an office he no longer holds, Trump announced the establishment of the “Office of the Former President.”
