What Can Be Done? (Excellent)

 

The year 2020 was brutal for the friends of the South.  

On the surface the federal leviathan looks to be impregnable.  Mr. Trump’s people were blocked by every state and federal court where they hoped to seek redress for what polite society calls “voting irregularities.”  The test for a civil case is preponderance of the evidence, a low bar compared to criminal proceedings.  One might think that cases in which there were hundreds of sworn affidavits, video evidence, expert testimony, and demonstration it might just be possible that a court might give you a hearing rather than toss your case out on flimsy technicalities.  Wish to complain of this, please not on Twitter, You Tube, Facebook—the Bolshevik Borg does not wish to hear it or see it, nor will they tolerate others doing so.  

Meanwhile, Mr. John Brennan, former Communist and former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (Why does that no longer seem a contradiction in terms?) has declared war upon everyone who disagrees with his worldview.  Be advised, in certain circles of the media and what is euphemistically referred to as the “intelligence community,” Brennan is still big medicine. Discouragement and demoralization are understandable, but as the motto of the great state of South Carolina instructs Dum Spiro Spero.

[Photos] A Stroll Along Saigon's Tet Flower Streets in the 1960s

 Flowers never go out of fashion.

Along with banh tet, fireworks and red envelopes filled with lucky money, no visual represents the Tet holiday in Vietnam more than fresh flowers. Symbolizing wealth and passionate love, they adorn alters and tables as colorful manifestations of the joy that the Lunar New Year ushers into people's homes.

In Saigon, the ochna integerrima (Vietnamese mickey-mouse plant) are most common thanks to their preference for hot, sunny climates, while the north's gloomy growing season ushers in peach flowers and marumi kumquat. Farmers in the Mekong Delta fastidiously tend to the plants for months in the lead-up to the holiday, and to meet demand, Vietnam has even taken to importing them from abroad

For decades, temporary flower markets have opened in response to every household's desire to purchase the verdant delights. In these photos taken in the 1960s, one can observe Saigon's stylish citizens mingling with vendors at one such market. The holiday atmosphere provides an opportunity for shoppers to wear their snazziest outfits and pose for photos amongst the rows of flowers.

A Larger Than Life Hero, And The Most Decorated Veteran Of The Vietnam War

Once in a generation, or sometimes only once every few generations, there comes a soldier whose battlefield exploits are simply beyond belief. These rare heroes combine a hefty dose of raw courage and ferocious tenacity with seemingly superhuman martial skills, and season this mixture heavily with unbelievable luck.

One such larger-than-life war hero was Robert L. Howard, who began his military career as an enlisted man in 1956 and retired as a colonel in 1992. He not only received the Medal of Honor, but was also nominated for it on three separate occasions over a period of just over a year.

Born in Opelika, Alabama in 1939, Howard enlisted in the United States Army in 1956 at the age of seventeen. He spent the bulk of his combat experience in the Vietnam War, over a period of fifty-four months – a period in which he was wounded fourteen times.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Fires Back At The Deep State: The representative from Georgia is fighting back after efforts to remove her from office have begun by deep state actors.

 Image

Anti-American establishment rats Mitt Romney, Mitch McConnel, Democrats, and the far-left Anti-Defamation League are all calling for the ouster of Marjorie Taylor Greene for her insistence, with mountains of evidence, that the 2020 election was fraudulent.  She has also sought the impeachment of illegitimate Banana Republic Sock Puppet Joe Biden

A true American hero!

Marjorie Taylor Greene says whatever is on her mind, and true patriots love her for it. She won’t back down or make apologies to the deep state establishment for what she believes to be right.

There have been a lot of calls coming from RINO politicians, leftists, and other deep state actors to remove representative Greene.

This is definite proof that we no longer live in a democracy.

These D.C. oligarchs are clearly doing every single thing they can to try and silence dissent, but they cannot silence Marjorie Taylor Greene.

In my opinion, everything that they do is simply bringing their day of reckoning closer and closer. The D.C. establishment has a 9% approval rating.

Removing MTG will only sink that number even lower.

Ted Cruz Turns On President Trump

 

And this is why I will never trust Ted Cruz: President Trump was "Both Reckless and Irresponsible" and Did Not Prove Election Fraud in Any Court (VIDEO) thegatewaypundit.com/2021/01/ted-cr via @gatewaypundit

Ted Cruz now exposing himself as a traitor to the Republic . . . 
 
Ted Cruz 2016: "Trump is a pathological liar. He doesn't know the difference between truth and lies." Ted Cruz 2018: "God bless Presiden Trump." Ted Cruz 2021: “President Trump’s rhetoric I think went way too far over the line. I think it was both reckless and irresponsible."

Mike Huckabee: 'Biden Is Making Barack Obama Look Like Ronald Reagan in Terms of His Leftist Policies'

 Via Billy

 

“Let’s just give everybody anything they ever wanted. Let government be Santa Claus. She said that’s the floor. Heck, I’m on the floor thinking about how crazy this is. Joe Biden said he wanted to fight for me. My gosh, I’d hate to think if this is what he’s doing for me, what he would be doing to me if he was fighting against me.”

As of Friday, January 29, Joe Biden had signed 42 executive orders, easily outdistancing Donald Trump, Barack Obama, and George W. Bush by a socialist mile — combined.

Biden’s blistering pace has been criticized by both sides of the aisle, with six red-state attorneys general threatening a lawsuit, and even The New York Times editorial board saying, “ease up on the executive actions, Joe.”

Even worse, Biden shows no signs of slowing down.

Left's politicization 'most severe' Cuccinelli's ever seen

                                

                                  

                     

"Understand what makes up what we think of as the Democrat Party these days; the base is very radical," Cuccinelli noted. "They are truly violent communists, and they're using these Alinsky-like tactics, and we have to sort of press through this phase and fully expect Republicans to retake the House and Senate in two years."

A former acting director of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Services says many within the Democrat Party are "truly tyrannical" and not afraid to politicize law enforcement to go after their opponents. With the new administration coming into power, Ken Cuccinelli, a former attorney general of Virginia and a strong advocate for border enforcement, has taken a position as a visiting fellow at The Heritage Foundation, where he will work on immigration and national security issues.

Trump’s Lawyers Offer Former President’s Answer To Impeachment Article On Incitement Of Insurrection

 Via Bob "It is long but worth the read."

U.S. President Donald Trump gestures during an Operation Warp Speed vaccine summit at the White House in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Tuesday, Dec. 8, 2020. Trump celebrated the development of coronavirus vaccines at a White House summit on Tuesday and vowed to use executive powers if necessary to acquire sufficient doses, as the number of U.S. cases surpassed 15 million.

Senate "lacks jurisdiction over the 45th President because he holds no public office from which he can be removed"

 

It is admitted that on January 6, 2021 a joint session of Congress met with the Vice President, the House and the Senate, to count the votes of the Electoral College. It is admitted that after the November election, the 45th President exercised his First Amendment right under the Constitution to express his belief that the election results were suspect, since with very few exceptions, under the convenient guise of Covid-19 pandemic"safeguards” states election laws and procedures were changed by local politicians or judges without the necessary approvals from state legislatures. Insufficient evidence exists upon which a reasonable jurist could conclude that the 45th President’s statements were accurate or not, and he therefore denies they were false.
