La Cuervo - Chapter 25

She is used to the biker-life, having grown into a woman in the familiar embrace of SAMCRO. A bad decision and a gun-shot later, she gets whisked off to Santo Padre, and put under the protection of another club. What is supposed to be a short stint in the Mayan headquarters just north of the border to Mexico, turns into something more; when la quervo begins to develop feelings for el angel - and he seems to return them in kind...

TW: violence, blood, drug use, alcohol, smut, fluff, angst

In the spirit of "The Crown Princess of Charming", this is a story about O.C. Nina and Angel Reyes. It is obviously non-canon, as characters who have passed on, on Mayans M.C., are present in it, and others have been excluded completely. Nina is written as a cis-female, but I have tried to keep her race and looks as ambiguous as possible. Should you find any of this story offensive, please let me know.

25.

After their middle of the night conversation and subsequent make-up sex, Nina and Angel got a few hours of sleep.

The sound of the birds in the tree outside, and a hard knocking on the front door, woke Nina up. Turning her head, she saw that Angel was still sound asleep, with Bug nuzzled up in the crook of his neck. Finding the sight too adorable to disturb, Nina quietly crawled out of bed, and put on her sleeping shorts, and one of Angel’s shirts. Putting a bit more weight on her pained leg than she’d been able to a few days earlier, she made her way to the front door, and looked out the peep hole; before opening.

“Good morning”, EZ said; holding up two paper cups of coffee. “He’s still sleeping”, Nina said, and moved so he could enter. “In the bed?”, EZ asked disbelievingly. “He told you…”, she muttered. “He’s my brother. He told me you guys weren’t doing so good… But, you’re better now?”. “We’re working on it”, Nina shrugged. “I’ll go get him, so you can give him that”. She nodded towards the coffee. “No, this is for you”. EZ held out a cup for her, and she took it confusedly.

She limped over to sit on the couch, and lit one of the cigarettes from Angel’s pack. Bug slipped out through the crack of the bedroom door, and when he saw EZ, he hissed. “What the hell is that?”, the prospect asked. “Bug… Her cat”, Angel grunted, as he came out after the cat; rubbing his eyes. He’d taken time to put on sweatpants and a beater. “Our cat”, Nina reiterated. “It looks… sick”, EZ said, giving Bug’s one and a half ear and skinny body a hesitant look. Angel walked over, and gave the cat a quick scratch behind the ears. “He’s a fighter”, he said, and went over to sit down next to Nina.

EZ sat down on the recliner, and looked down at his own coffee. “I would have gotten you one, but I didn’t know if you’d already left”, he muttered at Angel. “It’s good bro”, Angel said, and nabbed Nina’s cigarette. The prospect gave Nina a half smile. “It was kind of a peace-offering. You’ve been staying away from the clubhouse”. “I’m not mad at you”, Nina said. “I’m just… I don’t know if I’m ready to face Bishop and Taza”. “Taza hasn’t been around either”, Angel said. “You guys didn’t… He’s ok, right?”, Nina asked worriedly. She was angry, but she didn’t want Taza hurt. “We haven’t done anything to him… But we have a vote later today”, Angel said. “We need to decide whether he and Bish’ are keeping their posts”. “Why?”, Nina guffawed. “Because they went behind the club’s back; pulling that shit with you and Palo”, Angel said. “Bishop has stepped down temporarily, until we decide what to do. He’s been around, but Tranq’s taken the head of the table for now… He ain’t president material, though”. “And Taza?”, Nina said. “If we vote Bish’ back in, I’m guessing he’s gonna want him back as VP… If we let Taza come back at all”, Angel said.

EZ took a sip of his coffee, and leaned forwards; giving his brother a hesitant look. “Where do you stand on all that?”. Angel took a deep draw from the cigarette, and blew out the smoke while shaking his head. “I’m not sure, man…”, he admitted. “As prez’ and VP, I didn’t ever have a problem with them before. But they lied to the club… And this shit was personal to me. They put Nina in danger”. “You don’t have a problem with Taza being…”, EZ said, trailing off. “It’s called gay… homosexual… He likes men. You can say it”, Nina scolded him. “Yeah, I can say it…!”, EZ exclaimed. “It’s just one of those rules I’ve had trouble dealing with. I follow the club on a lot of things; but that…”. Nina gave him slight smile; happy that he felt like she did. “I don’t have a problem with that”, Angel shrugged. “No one should”.

Taking sip from the cup, Nina then traded Angel the coffee for the cigarette. She took a deep drag, before stubbing it out. “Well, it looks like you have stuff to do today”, she said. “I guess me and Bug will just hang out here”. The cat came over to brush against her good leg. He’d been good with leaving the pained one alone. “Hank wants you at the clubhouse…”, EZ muttered, giving her a hesitant look. “He sent me to get you… We didn’t know if you and Angel were talking”. Nina sighed. “I don’t know… EZ, all that shit that went down…”. “That’s why he wants you there”, EZ said. “He wants the club to hear your side, before they take the vote”.

Looking up to meet Angel’s eyes, Nina found nothing but warmth and support in them. “I’m not gonna make you do anything. It’s up to you, ma’”. She took the cup from him, and emptied it; before getting to her feet. “I’m gonna need more coffee…”, she grunted, and limped in to the bedroom to get dressed.

The scrapyard seemed like a completely different place to the last time Nina had been there. There was tension in the air, as EZ and Angel – with Nina behind him – rode up to the clubhouse. Chucky gave her slight wave from the front office, when they passed it.

Coco and Gilly came down from the porch to greet them as they arrived, and Nina gave both of them a warm hug. “Are you ok?”, she asked. “I know there was at least some fighting the other day…”. “We’re good, niña”, Coco said. “How’s the leg?”. “Much better”, Nina said. Letting Angel put his arm around her waist, they all walked up to the porch, and into the clubhouse together.

Inside, the rest of the charter – except for Taza – were spread throughout the room. Bishop sat alone by a table in the corner; and gave her short look. He almost looked embarrassed. Hank walked straight up to Nina, and put a hand on her shoulder. “Thanks for coming”, he said warmly. “We need your take on all this”. “I don’t know what you want me to say… I’m not happy about what happened”, Nina said. “We just need you to be honest”, Riz said, having come over to join them. “Shouldn’t come as a problem…”, Creeper muttered sarcastically, and stubbed out his cigarette. Nina frowned confusedly in his direction. “Where are we doing this?”, Angel asked. “Templo…”, Hank said. “And we should get to it. We got Reaper incoming soon”. Nina swallowed thickly. Being in the room with Bishop was hard enough, but having to face Filip was something she hadn’t been prepared for. “It’ll be ok, cuervo”, Angel said below his breath. The nickname struck her as odd at the moment, but Nina decided against challenging him on it; and simply let him lead her into templo. EZ stayed behind in the bar area, looking worried, and prepared for anything to happen.

Letting his hand brush against his usual chair, Hank went to sit at the head of the table. He looked very uncomfortable with his current station. “Please…”, he said, and gestured for Nina to take the seat at the other end of the table. The rest of the Mayans took to their own seats; with Bishop taking the one furthest from his regular seat. This meant he sat just around the corner of the table from Nina, making her unable to ignore him. Angel shot her a comforting smile, before looking to his temporary president.

Seemingly waiting for someone else to begin, Hank finally realized that was his job; and cleared his throat. “I guess… we should get started”, he said. “Nina; thanks for coming. I asked the prospect to bring you, because we have an important vote coming up; but we need to know what to base our decision on”. Riz let Hank out of his misery, by taking over. “We already heard from Bishop. He let us know that you weren’t aware of his and Taza’s decision to go behind our backs…” “Yeah, they behind our backs, but so did she…”, Creeper interrupted. He looked hard at Nina. “You might not have known the real plan, but you went against the club’s decision; and snuck off to do your own shit”. “Sure, but she’s not a member of the club”, Gilly said. “Pretty damn close”, Creeper said.

Angel looked at Creeper; the promise of a serious beating almost written in neon over his head. “What are you trying to say? You wanna punish her?”, he said. “I didn’t bring her here to get…”. “I’m just telling it like it is”, Creeper said. “Nina tricked me in to letting her sneak away”. Bishop chuckled slightly. “Maybe you shouldn’t be so easily tricked…”, he said. “Careful, Bishop”, Riz said. “You’re the one on trial here, and Creep isn’t wrong”. Nina threw up her hands, and sighed. “Why don’t you just get to it then. Punch me around, and degrade me to toilet-cleaner. I’ve been through much worse lately!”. “Everyone calm down!”, Hank said. “Nina, you did go against the club. You broke our trust…”. “At the time, you didn’t even know Bishop was in on it; so, on top of that, you went against the president’s direct orders”, Riz said. Creeper nodded in agreement.

“Ok”, Nina said. Every face at the table turned to her. “What? You wanted me to apologize? I was trying to save your asses”. “Technically, she did”, Coco said. He grabbed a cigarette from his back and lit it; before sliding both the pack and his lighter down the table to Nina. She took one of the smokes, and lit it; sending Coco a slight smile. “If we’d gone to war with VM… fuck”, Coco said, visibly shuddering. “We voted for war”, Creeper said. “You didn’t seem like that’s what you wanted at the time…”, Gilly said. “But that’s how this shit works!”, Creeper said. “This club is a democracy…”. “El Padrino was in on it”, Angel said. “At the end of the day…”. “He doesn’t call the shots here”, Riz said.

Nina took a deep drag of her cigarette. “Riz… I’m sorry you’re angry that I went against the club by going with Taza. I’m not gonna apologize for actually doing it, though. If the plan he told me about had worked out, it would have been the best move for your club. That’s a fact you can’t deny”. Unable to come up with a reply, Riz shrugged in something resembling agreement. “It didn’t work out, though”, Creeper said. “That’s not my fault”, Nina retorted. “And honestly, I think your butthurt mostly has to do with the fact that another woman managed to trick you”. “Nina…”, Angel said warily. Creeper’s expression grew saddened. “If you’re talking about Camille, you’re right. She got to me. But that was just a fling with a hangaround…”. His brows furrowed, and he shook his head defeatedly. “You’re family… You were supposed to have our back… My back. Not lie to me”. Nina swallowed thickly, feeling choked and ashamed. “You’re right… I’m sorry for lying. I don’t want you to feel like you can’t trust me anymore; but I understand it”. She sighed deeply. “I’ll take whatever punishment the club decides to give me”. “There won’t be no punishment”, Angel said. “If there is, I’m out of here”. “Angel!”, Nina exclaimed. “Nah, mami… They ain’t touching you”.

“We’re not going to punish Nina”, Hank declared. “She’s right. Taza’s fake plan would have been a good move; and she did what she did to help the club. She wasn’t a part of the official vote, and she’s not a patch. She doesn’t owe us to follow orders; and she didn’t owe us to try to help the way she did”. He looked deep into Nina’s eyes. “You risked your life for the MC… Thank you”. Angel relaxed in his seat. “I get what you’re saying, but…”, Creeper began. Hank slammed his fist into the table. He looked angrier than Nina had ever seen him; but then again, digging through her memories, she’d never seen him angry. “I’ll be happy to take it to a vote; but even with Angel stepping out for being biased, it still looks like punishment will be off the table”. Creeper raised his hands in defeat, and leaned back in his seat.

“If no one else has anything to say, then let’s get to why we’re here”, Hank said. “Nina, what’s your view on what happened the other day?”. Nina took another drag of her cigarette. “Taza called. He said he had a way of avoiding a full-blown war, and asked me to meet him; so we could go see Palo”. “Did you know he’d told Palo that he would hand you over?”, Riz asked. “Yes…”, Nina said, meeting Angel’s eyes for a short second. Anger ghosted his face, but he held his tongue. “He told me we’d be able to reason with Palo, and I thought so too. He seemed about to go for it as well, but… He said he wanted his pound of flesh; and that’s when they brought in Angel”. “Which wouldn’t have happened if…”, Bishop began. “Fuck you, Bish’!”, Angel said. “You ain’t president right now. I’d be happy to show you around the cage…”. “Angel!”, Hank said. “Nina, please…”. “Palo wanted me to shoot Angel, but Bishop and the rest of them arrived in time to…”. She couldn’t finish the sentence; feeling tears welling up. “Taza killed Palo, and that was it”, she finished, and wiped her eyes. “And how do you feel about being lied to about what the real plan was?”, Riz asked. “Come on, Riz…”, Coco said. “I’m not trying to stir shit up, man”, Riz said. “We asked her to come here, to tell us about her experience with all this”. “Yeah, but this ain’t Oprah”, Gilly said. “It’s fine… I’ll answer”, Nina said. “I feel like shit. My decision to go with Taza on this, was based on me not wanting anyone else to get hurt… But Sala was shot, and Palo’s neck was slit right in front of me”. She stubbed out her cigarette. “I might be safe from VM and Palo, but it came at the cost of even more lives… Daniella; Camille; Sala; Palo… Those were all because of me, and what I did to Gael in that alley two months ago…”.

Self-hatred washed over her, and she got her feet. “I don’t think you should punish Bishop, or kick Taza out of the MC… All of this is my fault. I’m sorry I came here and messed up your club”. Ignoring the pain in her leg, Nina stormed out of templo. EZ and Chucky – who’d come in to the clubhouse, while she was in templo – gave her confused looks, as she ran out of the clubhouse, and slammed the door shut behind her. She sat down on the stairs, and buried her face in her hands, letting her tears fall.

The door opened and closed behind her, and she looked up; confused to see Creeper sit down next to her. “This isn’t your fault, Nina”, he said. “I thought you were pissed at me…”. “I was… I am. But not because I think you’re to blame for all this. You worried me… us. Putting yourself in danger like that…”. He sighed deeply. “The thing about you going behind our backs… You’re a part of the family. I expected you to act like a patch; but that’s not fair. We won’t let you wear a cut, so I can’t assume that you’ll act like you are”. “I’m sorry for tricking you”, Nina croaked. “I should never have come here… You lost your president, your VP… You almost went in to full on war!”. Creeper put his arm around Nina’s shoulders. “We haven’t decided on Bishop and Taza yet”, he said. “And war with the Vatos has been under way for a long time. Even before you got here”.

Nina sighed, and looked intently at Creeper. “Don’t punish Bishop and Taza. Don’t take away their flashes”, she said. “They had to make a quick decision; and they wouldn’t have done it if they didn’t think they were doing what was best for the MC… Just because they’re leaders, doesn’t mean they’re infallible. Give them a chance”. Creeper narrowed his eyes at her. “I know Angel said you were smart; but that was almost sage wisdom”, he smirked. “Where do you get it from?”. Nina let out a soft laugh, and wiped her eyes. “I knew a guy who had to make a lot of hard decisions”, she said. “Some of them were really shitty, but they all came from a place of love for his club and his family”. Creeper pressed a kiss to her forehead; then got to his feet, and helped Nina up to stand. “I’ll tell them what you said”, he smiled. “But I won’t use words like infallible. I don’t think half of them know what that means”. There was the sound of glass shattering from inside the clubhouse. “You should get back inside. Gilly’s physically holding Angel down in there”.

He supported her weight back to the door, and opened it for her. Chucky was sweeping up a broken beer bottle, and Angel was struggling to get free from Gilly’s grasp on his arms. Nina walked over to him, and as Gilly let him free, Angel wrapped her into his arms. “Are you ok?”, he whispered into her ear. “Yeah… I’m ok”, Nina said. “He…?”. “We’re good. Really”. She got on her toes, and caught his lips in a warm kiss. “Go vote… Make good decisions”. Angel nodded, and stole another kiss from her, before following his brothers back in to templo.

Nina limped over to sit down by a table, and blew out a deep breath. After four days of hiding at the house, eating microwave dinners, and cursing her own inability to cook; she was overjoyed when EZ came over, and placed a Tupperware box in front of her. “Gaby?”, she asked with bated breath. “Uh huh”, EZ smiled. “I’m serious, Ezekiel. I will marry her myself, if you don’t!”. The prospect let out a warm laugh, and sat down next to her, producing two forks. Chucky came over with two cold cokes for them, before going over to count the chairs in the room, for some reason. “Chuck? What are you doing?”, EZ asked. “I need to make sure we have enough seats for the wedding”. Nina laughed, feeling herself brighten up slightly.

They were seated, eating straight out of the box, and trying to keep each other’s moods up, when the door opened, and Taza stepped inside; his cut hung over his arm. He nodded solemnly at them, and walked over to the ornate door of templo; seemingly taking a deep breath before stepping inside, and closing the door behind him again. “What do you think that means?”, Nina muttered. “I don’t know…”, EZ said. “Hopefully it’s good news”. He noticed Nina’s strained expression, and squeezed her shoulder. “Are you ok? I know you’re not happy about how things went down…”. Nina sighed. “You all keep telling me I’m family… But they forced me to be a part of something I was trying so hard to avoid. Is that how you treat kin?”. “If family doesn’t know what’s best for them, then maybe… yeah”, EZ said. “Palo wouldn’t have let you go. You’d be looking over your shoulder for the rest of your life. Hurt feelings; you can get over shit like that. But death is kind of final”. “Maybe… But I wish they’d told me the truth”.

They sat in silence for a long moment. “Is you dad mad at me, for stealing his truck?”, Nina asked quietly. “You parked it by his shop. He was ok”, EZ replied. “Yeah, but…”. “Nina, you make Angel happy; and pap’ sees grandkids in his future”, EZ chuckled. “You can do no wrong in his eyes”. “I’m not pregnant!”. “Not for lack of my brother trying, I’m guessing”, EZ smirked. “We’re not having this conversation!”, Nina said. Ezekiel shrugged in surrender. “Just… If you do make me a tío, don’t let Angel name the baby”. “Why?”. “He named your cat Bug!”, EZ laughed. Nina punched his shoulder. “That was me…”, she pouted.

The door to templo opened, and Hank stepped out, giving them a warm smile. Bishop came out behind him, and they gave each other a warm and very masculine hug. “Thanks for taking the gavel when needed”, Bishop said. “Thanks for taking it back”, Hank smiled. “That chair is uncomfortable”. Nina couldn’t help but smile, and Bishop met her eyes; giving her a half smile in return.

The rest of the Mayans emerged from the room, with Taza coming out lastly; wearing his cut. Nina let out an audible, relieved gasp. Getting to her feet, Angel went over to support her. He let her lean against him, as she walked up to Bishop and Taza. “It looks like we have you to thank for keeping these flashes”, Bishop said. “I think we’ve got more than that to thank you for”, Taza smiled softly. Nina shook her head. “Just… trust your family with the truth in the future. It might be painful, but it’s the better way out”, she said. “Alright”, Bishop said. “Still; thank you…”. Nina grinned at him. “You’re fishing for a hug again, aren’t you…?”. “Yes he is”, Taza said.

Nina put her arms around the president, and hugged him tightly. He gave as good as he got, and turned to whisper in her ear. “I’m sorry, mija…”. “I forgive you”, she replied. Taza was next, and Nina gave him a short kiss on the cheek. “I forgive you too, Scarecrow”. Taza pulled back, and looked down at her. “I’m not that sharp on my Judy Garland, but I’m pretty sure the line is I’ll miss you the most… Are you going somewhere?”. “Nah”, Nina said, and looked around at the faces of her family. “There’s no place like home”.

There was a rumbling of bikes outside, and EZ looked out of the window. “SOA”, he said. Nina took Angel’s hand, and let herself be tucked into his side. “Better break out the Jameson”, she said. “Can’t Chibs drink anything else?”, Angel asked. Nina sighed. “It’s for me…”.

---

Happy, Tig and Rat came through the door, and made a beeline for Nina. It was a clusterhug, that ended with her having to waving her hands in the air, to be allowed to breathe. Once released from their grasp, Nina looked behind them with a confused expression. “Chibs?”, she said quietly. “Outside…”, Tig said. “Did you vote yet?”, Nina asked hesitantly. “What vote?”, Happy asked. “You think we’d take the chance to let Tiggy be president?”. Rat visibly shuddered, and Tig smacked the back of his head; making the younger biker let out a yelp. “We get why he did it”, Tig said. “We didn’t like it, but… He’s not the first SAMCRO president to make decisions behind the club’s back, to protect a family-member”. “That’s what he was doing. You know that”, Happy said. Nina sighed, and began moving towards the door. Rat grabbed her arm to halt her. “Rat, I’m sorry for tricking you, but…”, she began. “No… I get it”, he said. “I just wanted to say; don’t be too hard on him. He loves you”. Nina nodded, and went outside.

Filip was leaning against his bike, when she came down from the porch. “Hi…”, she said quietly. “Hello… I didn’t want to come inside, if you didn’t want me there”, Filip said. “It’s not my house”. “Yes, it is”, he smiled softly. Limping halfway over to him, Filip hurried over to grab Nina’s arm. “Is that leg not doing better?”, he asked. “Yeah. I’m just cutting down on the painkillers”, she said. “Good… That’s smart. But you shouldn’t overexert yourself”.

He led her over to lean against his bike. “How angry are you?”, he asked. “Very… You knew how I felt about the bloodshed… Too many people had died already”, Nina said. “But I understand why you did it. You were trying to protect me”. “I really was, luv’”, Filip sighed. “But it’s like you didn’t respect me enough to make me part of the plan”. “I respected you too much, Nina!”. Filip grabbed her hand, and held it tightly. “You’re too good for decisions like the ones we had to make that day… And what you said about Jax…”. “I shouldn’t have brought him up”, Nina said. “No, you were within your rights to”, Filip said. “But… I think he would have made the same decision, little sister. Anything to keep you safe”.

Sighing deeply, Nina pulled at Filip’s hand, to make him wrap his arms around her. She threw her own arms around his neck. “I love you, big brother…”, she croaked. “But don’t ever lie to me again, or I’ll stab you in the balls with a rusty screwdriver”. “That’s oddly specific”, Filip muttered. “I wanna make sure it’s extra painful”. “Fair enough”.

He kissed her temple, and together they made their way back to the clubhouse.

---

“That’s a long ass ride to take, just to come see me”, Nina said, as she sat on Angel’s lap, surrounded by her SAMCRO brothers. Apparently, the Mayan felt that they’d spent too much time apart in the last four days, and after she came back inside with Filip, he hadn’t left her side. “We never left”, Happy said. “We’ve been staying at Vicky’s… It’s quite comfortable there”, Filip smirked. “Venus good with that?”, Nina asked Tig. “We’ve been doing facetime”, Tig winked at her. “I don’t need any of Vicky’s girls, when I got a woman at home waiting for me”. “You thinking about putting a ring on that?”, Angel asked. “She wants to fully transition first”, Tig shrugged. “I told her, I don’t care, but it’s important to her”.

EZ came over with a tray of shots. “What’s this?”, Rat asked. “Mezcal”, EZ said, and shot a smirk at Nina. “In that case, I’m out”, she said. “Just plain old tequila, then?”, Creeper asked, and set down a full shot glass in front of her. Nina rolled her eyes, and picked up the glass; cheering with the bikers. “It is time for us to go, though”, Filip declared, once he’d finished his drink. “We have a business to run”. “Wouldn’t want the line in front of the shop get too long”, Angel smirked. “People need their ice-cream”. “We do milkshakes too”, Rat smiled brightly. The rest of the Sons laughed at their endearingly naïve brother, and got to their feet.

Saying goodbye was less melancholic this time around. Nina managed to avoid completely soaking Angel’s shirt, as she hid her face against his chest, after waving goodbye to her Charming brothers; when they drove off the lot. Chucky, on the other hand, had to take a few minutes to himself in the garage. Coco went after him, and they emerged moments later, with Chucky wiping his eyes, as Coco muttered encouraging words in his ear.

After they all went back inside, Bishop cleared his throat. “Yo. Listen up”, he barked. “It’s time to get back to business around here. We’ve got a few runs to prepare for, and the yard looks like shit”. “It’s a scrapyard, jefe”, Coco said. “It’s supposed to look that way”. “Let’s take the day off”, Taza said. “We can get back to it tomorrow”. Bishop grunted in agreement, and the Mayans all looked like excited frat boys. Creeper and Gilly got to work, calling in some hangarounds for an impromptu party.

Nina – tears dry, and peaceful at heart – got on her toes, and kissed Angel’s cheek. “You can stay… I’m not really in the mood for partying”, she muttered. Angel snaked an arm around her waist, and brushed his lips against his ear. “Nah… I’ll go with you. The only party I wanna go to, is in your panties”, he hummed. “You’re so eloquent”, Nina chuckled. “So elegant…”, Angel nodded, and squeezed her butt; before quietly leading her out the clubhouse.

---

“Ow!”. “Sorry, mami… Maybe try turning the other way”. “My hair is stuck in the handlebars…”. “There… You’re free”. “Someone might see!”. “No, we’re good… Fuck! Don’t stop moving like that”. “Ok, yeah… Wow… Angel, please…”. “Fuck, yes! Put your foot on the fender… That’s right. Take it!”. “I’m so close… Angel!”. “You gonna come?”. “Uh huh… Holy, shit… Harder!”. “Me too… You feel so good…”. “Yes!”. “Oh fuck… I’m coming…! Ahh… Shit, I love you…”. “Te amo, papi… Wow. That was…”. “Uh huh…! I can’t believe we pulled it off…”. “Yeah… Now we just gotta figure out how to get your bike out of the front door again”.

#TheBirthOfChaos #DSM #SOA #Mayans #RP Part Two

Written by: @HackerSister @InkedPrincessMC @ReyesAtHeartMC @BikersRose @InkedWithPetals @EZReyesDSM @ReyesMayans @AShotOfAPatch

Juana "Juice" Ortiz: Juice groaned at the sound of her phone buzzing at the table beside her head. It was too fucking early and didn't people know she had a fucking hangover.

The patch party for the new San Bernadino prospect lasted well into the next morning. And Juice was feeling the weight of it. In and on her head. Groaning she swipes the message open and reads the text. #Bishop? It took her a minute to register the Santo Padre Prez name. "Fuck," she muttered to herself. She popped the tab of her favorite Red Bull flavor, dragon fruit, and opened her laptop on the table. Santo Padre needed to update its firewall. It was way too easy to hack into their traffic cams.

She watched as a dark van pulled through a light near the corner a block from the clubhouse of the Santo Padre charter. It would be sus on any other day but the day a charter president goes missing multiplied that by a thousand.

After zooming in on the plates she runs a trace. It would take a couple hours for the results. Just enough time for me to haul her ass down south. She turns on her mobile hotspot, to keep shit going while she drives. Then tuck everything safely in her saddlebags.

Hopefully the early ass time of day would mean traffic would be at a minimum.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Nikki Lowman: I was riding back from Charming from seeing my father, I had just stopped at the gas station to fuel back up to get me back to Santo Padre, I had a voice on my phone from Alexis, pressing the button and Listening to the call, I frantically paid for the gas

and got back into my Motorcycle, heading home, As I pulled up outside my apartment I pulled out my cell and begins to dial #Ez cell but there was no answer. Yeah, This was definitely frustrating knowing #Bishop was taken and #Hank was attacked inside the « clubhouse. I dialed @ReyesAtHeartMC hoping she would know where #Ez was at. The ringing tone felt like forever until a voice was heard on the line.>>

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Malia Reyes: I stirred as I hear my cell ringing as I reach over answer the call “Hello?” Nikki’s voice was troubled as she explained what had happened, I was definitely wide awake now.

“I think he said he was staying with my pops, I’ll keep trying to ring him. I’ll drive over there to see where he’s at, I’ll meet you at the clubhouse once I’m done.”

I couldn’t believe what I had just heard, The Prez being taken and #Hank being knocked out cold. I quickly got out of bed and got dressed, heading out to the truck and heading towards my pops house to see if #Ez was there. My head was on overdrive wondering what the hell happened.

Pulling up to the house and getting out, quickly rushing to the door and walking straight inside. “Ez you here?” Quickly rushing to the bedroom where he’d stay but it was empty. My pops walks out. “ Malia, ¿qué pasa?” Looking over at him as I look around.

“ Pop, ¿Has visto a Ezkiel?” He shook his head as I walk over to him as I place a kiss on his cheek as I head back out to the truck. “I’ll call you later.” I had to time to stick around as I jump into my truck and head to the clubhouse, I tried to figure out where Ez was at, Pulling into the yard and shutting off the engine. I get out and rush inside. “Any news?”

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Rosa Diaz: It could have been minutes after I called @InkedwithPetals for help or it could have been hours. But the time seemed to drag agonizingly long. Time was crucial. The chances of something happening to #Bishop multiplied with each ticket of the clock.

I kept my head about me, trying to keep from focusing on the worst-case scenario. It wouldn't help anyone to panic. I sat with #Hank on the floor. He'd be more comfortable on the couch but I hadn't had nearly enough Wheaties to hoist him up.

Fortunately, his breathing remained steady and his eyes finally fluttered open. I give him a soft smile, "Don't try to get up, Viejo. Help is coming."

I lift my eyes to the door hearing @ReyesAtHeartMC come through the clubhouse doors, "In here." I call out, "There's nothing yet."

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Alexis Alvarez: [I parked my truck in the lot outside the clubhouse barely giving Marcus time to follow me. #Hank on the floor. My Nikes squeaked on the floor as I knelt in front of the teddy bear of a biker.] Stay put old man. I've got this. [#Hank stared at me, his words were a bit slurred but clear to me. "You came. Get those pendejos." I nodded kissing his cheek.] You know I will. [I looked up seeing a familiar face smiling at me. "Lexi." #Chuckie was odd, but he took care of things, first with SAMCRO and now here with the Mayans.

I smiled hugging #Chuckie lightly.] Good to see you, Chuckie. I'm going to need the keys to the shed. Can you do that for me? [A simple nod, but I knew he was probably just as freaked out as everyone else. Marcus stared at me. "Alexis, no!" Fury flashed in my eyes as I stood toe to toe with my godfather.] Who the fuck are you to tell me anything? Especially today. Do you ride? Wear a patch? Vote? Hold a gavel? Nope. You are the cartel's little bitch now. Shut the fuck up and sit down. [I took the keys from Chuckie and turned to Rosa.]

I will bring him home. I'm not that motherfucker behind me. [I ran out to the shed opening the doors. My breath caught for a minute as two bikes were covered with tarps. One I was keeping for Abel and the other was Esai's. As I walked over to my husband's Harley, I patted the handle of the other Harley. Now wasn't the time for tears. I slung my leg over Esai's bike and started it. Clipping my helmet in place I put on my Raybans whispering into the air.] I'm coming Tio. Just hang on. [I pulled out of the shed looking at #Chuckie.] Lock it up. [I looked at Malia and nodded.] Either one of your brothers show up, slap them and send them after me. Juicy shows up? Tell her I have my burner. I'll be back as soon as I can.

Hollywood Does What Senate Won’t: Gives Don The Boot!

With his impeachment trial beginning and the possibility of conviction a near impossibility, we turn to the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, Sag-AFTRA, for inspiration and a moral compass.

The union voted “overwhelmingly” to find probable cause that Trump had violated SAG-AFTRA’s constitution in inciting the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol and “sustaining a reckless campaign of misinformation aimed at discrediting and ultimately threatening the safety of journalists, many of whom are SAG-AFTRA members.” 

On the other hand, the Republican party, who gave a standing ovation to Q lady, Marjorie Taylor Greene, has already decided that inciting an attack on the U.S. Capitol and to quote Sag-AFTRA, “sustaining a reckless campaign of misinformation aimed at discrediting and ultimately threatening the safety of journalists” as well as the Capitol police, members of Congress and the vice president, does not rise to the level of a conviction and being barred from running for public office again.

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/juliareinstein/marjorie-taylor-greene-qanon-gun-facebook-squad

In fact, with such overwhelming evidence against him, The Don’s lawyers won’t even try to argue the facts: their defense will be to claim the proceeding itself is constitutionally illegitimate. A defense ready made by the 45 Republican senators who voted to derail the trial before it started.

It will come down to what I call the Sargent Schultz (of Hogan’s Heroes fame) defense: “I see nothing, I know nothing” and for good measure, I am not even here. In other words, regardless of what you witnessed, it doesn’t matter, because there is no basis for a trial. Since the trial shouldn’t exist, you can’t vote to convict because that would be an acknowledgement of the fact that there was a right to have a trial. Feels a bit Kafkaesque.

Once again, we are confronted with the stark reality that the Republican party is willing to risk the very democracy it is charged to defend and abandon all its principles, to pledge its allegiance to The Don.

But not SAG-AFTRA

The Don, true to form, seeing the handwriting on the wall, beat them to the chase. Resigning before they call to say: “You’re fired,”

 Below is his resignation later. I reprinted it in full because it such classic Don.

Ms. Carteris:

 I write to you today regarding the so-called Disciplinary Committee hearing aimed at revoking my union membership. Who cares! While I’m not familiar with your work, I’m very proud of my work on movies such as Home Alone 2, Zoolander and Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps; and television shows including The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Saturday Night Live, and of course, one of the most successful shows in television history, The Apprentice – to name just a few!

 I’ve also greatly helped the cable news television business (said to be a dying platform with not much time left until I got involved in politics) and created thousands of jobs at networks such as MSDNC and Fake News CNN, among many others.

Which brings me to your blatant attempt at free media attention to distract from your dismal record as a union. Your organization has done little for its members, and nothing for me – besides collecting dues and promoting dangerous un-American policies and ideas – as evident by your massive unemployment rates and lawsuits from celebrated actors,

Who even recorded a video asking, “Why isn’t the union fighting for me?”

These, however, are policy failures. Your disciplinary failures are even more egregious. I no longer wish to be associated with your union.

 As such, this letter is to inform you of my immediate resignation from SAG-AFTRA. You have done nothing for me. Regards, President Donald J. Trump

SAG-AFTRA’s response was a simple “Thank you.” 

I appreciate the elegance, the high mindedness and the desire not to engage and breath oxygen into the situation.

But here would be my response.

Dear Mr. Trump,

First let’s set the record straight on a few things. What you did in those movies is not called work: It is called a cameo. And even though you are no longer a member, we feel it is our patriotic duty to due justice to your presidency. At present, there are numerous projects being explored. Too bad we won’t be able to consult you or even cast you, but we promise that we will create compelling, dramatic and riveting entertainment. Exactly what you would want.

Here are a just a few that are being considered by two new production companies: Orange Rot Productions and Golden Showers Productions.

Vlad and Me: A buddy picture for the ages. The plot revolves around a president of the U.S. sharing secret information for love. For any old movie fans, there is one scene of Vlad and a certain orange haired president that equals the steaminess of Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr on the beach in “From Here to Eternity.” Purportedly, its climax has a golden shower.

The Insurrectionist: a deep dive into the coordinated attempt between White Supremacy Groups and people in government to overturn an election. The opening scene is one of the scariest things ever produced. Take a seat Chucky. The scene opens with a mob storming the Capitol. The camera zooms in on crazed man taking a fire hydrant and smashing it over a police officer’s head. The camera then zooms in on an orange haired man in the oval office watching TV yelling: “Did you see that shit? That’s better than any WWF thing I’ve ever seen. Do these people love me or what?” The phone is ringing. Aides are trying to get the president’s attention to no avail. “Tell them I’m not in. Look at this shit, isn’t it just amazing.”

From Riches To Rags: This film follows the ruinous descent of a president of the United States as he loses all his friends, money, the debtors who want their due and ultimately is imprisoned. Rumor has it that some of the jail scenes at the end are quite chilling.

Let’s hope that with the current president doing the work of the president and not just making cameos, we will emerge from this nightmare and once again be able to say: “How about we go to a movie?”

Regards,

Disciplinary Board of SAG-AFTRA

What I Watched During Coronavirus I

Normally I only do mini reviews once a month, but due to the fact that I, like most of you, am stuck home until this gets any better, I don’t think posting them more often will hurt.  

Expect to see reviews of Birds of Prey and Onward as soon as they’re up for rental.  But in the meantime, here are the movies that I have watched, thanks to the cable company giving us free movies til April 19 -- and I hope to God things will at least be a little bit better by then:

Bowfinger: A D-list director (Steve Martin) films a movie with an actor (Eddie Murphy) that has no idea he’s part of it.  If you loved Dolomite is My Name, definitely check it out.

W: Well, the one thing you can say about THIS president is that he didn’t get us into a pandemic.

Second Act: Jennifer Lopez fakes her way to a high-executive job.  Pretty cute, though nowhere near the level of Hustlers.

I Feel Pretty: A concussion convinces Amy Schumer that she’s turned into  a supermodel.  While it’s not as good as Trainwreck, it’s worth watching for Amy’s big speech at the end.  Oh, and Michelle Williams playing the ditzy fashion CEO is proof that she, NOT ScarJo, should play Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors.

Fast and Furious: Hobbs and Shaw: Yes, I’ve been THAT bored.  It’s fun to watch them bicker for a little while, but after an hour, it’s like, “Omg just shut up and screw each other already.”

The Best of Enemies: The true story of how a civil rights activist (Taraji P Henson) and a Klan leader (Sam Rockwell) were put on the same panel to vote on integrating a North Carolina school.  Anyway, it’s supposed to be an inspirational story but despite good performances it falls flat.  And does Rockwell ever get tired of getting typecast as racist characters?

Child’s Play (remake): While the script is admiringly smarter than the original Chucky movies, I cannot accept them rewriting Chucky as a tragically malfunctioning AI doll instead of an evil serial killer possessing a doll.  Sorry, Mark Hamill, I love and respect you, but Chucky was never meant to be sympathetic!

Important Economic Trends During Anarchy

2021 - Let the Games Begin

3.   A Christian Secession – Opposing Privus Legis.

Two quick observations:

1.     Did you read that half of the windmills in Texas froze contributing to the huge decline in electricity available during the Artic Vortex in Texas.  People complained their electric cars and cell phones all died.  I did not read about any gasoline powered vehicles not working.  AOC’s tweet blaming white privilege for the power outages demonstrated her level of intelligence, roughly equivalent to a box of rocks. What great leadership.  Not!

2.     How about the impromptu Trump Rally in south Florida on President’s Day?  The pictures I saw displayed great enthusiasm and energy.  Quite a contrast with The Demented Marxists (DM) in DC who celebrated President’s Day by huddling in fear behind fences and soldiers.  I read that the faux president (fp) was at Camp David where he was able to stay up until 7 PM before going to bed.   Millions of Americans without electricity in Texas and other southern states but fp could not be bothered with a call to the governors to see if he could help.  According to the media, fp was busy with a rousing game of Donkey Kong so when some foreign leaders called, they were treated with a conversation with Harris.   Has anyone started a pool betting on how long fp will be in that chair/bed/the White House Nursing Home?  The Deep State loves him.

Privus Legis is a Latin term that means “Private Law”.  That is the origin of our word “Privilege” which refers to the existence of two sets of laws.  Unfortunately, this phrase describes the situation in the USA today.  The Clingers Deplorable Chumps are subject to one set of laws and the Demented Marxist (DM) and their allies, the Global Elites/Deep State, play by a different set. 

Last week saw two confirmations of Privus Legis:

1.     The unusual press release by the U. S. Chamber of Commerce bragging about how they along with their large international corporation members worked with the media to determine the outcome of the 2020 election.  I read the article that came from the press release.  It displayed a complete lack of concern for the average American while demonstrating their total focus is on the profits of the major international corporations.  They were very proud supporting those that ignored Clinton’s private server, Anthony Weiner’s laptop, Hunter Biden’s laptop, massive vote fraud, etc.  More ice cream?

  2.     The Impeachment for Giggles II, The Sequel.  The DMs spewed their hate and thereby turned what should have been a somber experience into a comedy of errors reminiscent of a Shakespearean play.  Seven so called Republicans and 50 Democrats self-described as having been in DC too long.  Did you see the interview with the hapless CBS female talking head (they have no reporters) with one of Trump’s attorneys who correctly called her out for suggesting that it is acceptable to manipulate evidence.  It was a hoot! I loved it when he dropped the mic. The talking head was clueless. Privus Legis was highlighted! 

  Privus Legis is extremely dangerous to the economy because the Chumps eventually will decide that “What is sauce for the goose, is sauce for the gander”.  Add to that the current situation where the majority realize they were robbed in November 2020.  No wonder Nancy and Chuckie want a military guard in DC until September. 

Among the many newsworthy items last week, there are two more that I want to highlight because of their impact on the economy and therefore the land market.

1.     Chairman Powell of the The Federal Reserve (The Fed) gave a speech indicating that

a.      The Fed would keep interest rates low via Quantitative Easing (QE - continuing to buy $120 Billion per month of US debt) until the USA has full employment;

b.     The Fed is happy with increased inflation.

  Increased inflation will be a result of the $1.9 Trillion “Virus” stimulus bill the DMs are scheduled to pass in mid-March.  This ugly monstrosity is being touted as “virus stimulus” but really is simply the DM wish list including having the USA taxpayer bailout state governments -Illinois, New York, and California (20% of the bill) and various union pension funds (10%).  Just like the Center for Disease Control modified its criteria for a positive Wuhan Virus test once Biden got installed so that the number of virus cases have rapidly declined, now the DM governors are keeping their states locked down to aid the passage of this horrible bill. 

  2.     Christian Secession – Facebook, Amazon, Google, Apple, Twitter all banned Trump supporters.  Microsoft has announced they have withdrawn financial support of Trump supporters and others (Christian?).  This past week Google/YouTube concentrated on taking down every Christian site that is antiabortion.  This “Censorship” is consistent with Marxist behavior.  Marxists hate Christianity because they want people to worship the “State”.

Amazon’s profit comes primarily from its Amazon Web Services (AWS).  The easiest way to impact Amazon is to terminate any use of the AWS “cloud”.  I have found that Barnes & Noble (BN) has an excellent website that makes book buying, electronic or printed, just as easy as Amazon.  I have already purchased one book from BN and became a member this week.  If you have an Amazon Alexa in your house and are uncomfortable with the Chinese Communist Party knowing everything that is discussed in your house, I suggest the Alexa device would make excellent sledgehammer target practice.  For me, it is “Goodbye Amazon”.   

  Whether one is in familiar or uncharted territory, it is critical to have landmarks to guide decisions.  In a capitalistic society, the financial markets are critical to the allocation of resources via the cost of money versus the anticipated return.  Because of the importance of the 10-year Treasury relative to interest rates especially mortgage rates, we have discussed that your “canary in the mine” is the 10-year Treasury. 

  However, The Fed is massively distorting the 10 Year Treasury market.  Elon Musk made a $1.5 Billion bet on Bitcoin.  This highlighted both the level of speculation (not investing) in our economy and the need to avoid the Treasury market since The Fed declared they are happy to fund the DMs via QE and devalue the Dollar (called inflation).  Last weekend I started looking at other markets to determine what might be a good landmark for financial decisions. 

  In the process of my review, I noticed that oil has increased from approximately $35 per barrel in late October 2020 (prior to the so-called election in November) to $60 per barrel today.  The resulting increase in gasoline prices is the equivalent of a huge tax increase.  We discussed this several weeks ago as being one of Bidenharris’ pins that burst the economic bubble here in the USA.  The DMs and Global Elites will be fine, they do not care about the Clinger Deplorable Chumps.  But the oil market is too easily distorted to be a guide for anything other than its impact on the Chumps and therefore a broad indication of the trend of the economy.  However, rising gas prices are a seed of the coming recession.

  The residential real estate bubble is still intact.  In the next 60 days we should see an increase in both commercial foreclosures and retail bankruptcies which will begin to hit the real estate and the financial markets.  The current land market – the commercial land market is soft, industrial land will soften under Bidenharris, residential land is a bubble that will burst, and the rural land market is active but price sensitive.

  It sounds trite but the best way to weather what is coming is with a balance of liquidity and solid investments.  The peak of a bubble is a risky time to buy.  Fear is keeping a record $5.9 Trillion in cash in insured bank accounts.  I encourage you to remember that in times of financial panic “Cash is King” and make your decisions.

  “Conduct yourselves honorably among the Gentiles, so that, though they may malign you as evil doers, they may see your honorable deeds and glorify God when He comes to judge”.

(1 Peter 2:12   New Revised Standard Version, Oxford University Press)

  A great piece of land remains The Best investment long term unless the DMs get us to full-fledged Marxism.  Capitalism builds wealth, Marxism/Socialism consumes it in self destruction.  Pray for a return to honest elections in the USA.  God is in control.  Men make plans, God wins. 

  Stay healthy,

Ned

It's that time of year again where you fave celebs dress up for Halloween. And model Tabria Majors totally won Halloween 2020 with her FIRE Beyoncé tribute. Get into her homage to Queen Bey, plus all of your celeb faves inside….

Honestly, Halloween 2020 has already been shut down and Trick-Or-Treat hours haven’t even rolled around yet.

It’s honestly no reason to even bother dressing up now that curvy model Tabria Majors slayed the holiday. The Fenty x Savage model put in major WORK to pay homage to Beyoncé’s most iconic music video moments and we STAN.

"I wanted to do something different this year for Halloween and pay tribute to someone that I admire and respect so much — BEYONCE!,” Tabria captioned her 10-minute video posted to Instagram. "This project was incredibly stressful to make but so much fun!" Tabria doesn't consider herself a dancer "by any means" but she "wanted to apply Beyoncé's infamous work ethic to this project and see how far I could push myself."

And sis ATE for "Beylloween!"

And special thanks to my director and friend @mttalves who helped bring this vision to life from beginning to end. I couldn’t have done it without you ☺️ Everyone who was apart of this worked so hard and I appreciate you all so much!! I hope you all enjoy!

Democratic Swamp Invades Supreme Court

Despite high praise from The American Bar Association, America's largest lawyers' group, Senate Democrats on Capitol Hill, positioned themselves to poison the process to nominate Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court as hearings began Monday.

"A substantial majority of the Standing Committee determined that Judge Barrett is 'Well Qualified." "For the past 67 years, the ABA Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary has conducted comprehensive peer reviews of the professional qualifications of federal judicial nominees, including all 34 U.S Supreme Court nominees." However, now, liberal-Democrats and their hell-bent efforts to poison the Court and the American people's minds overshadow independent reviews. You see, for the left - they know best. 

I don't know about you, but Democratic VP Candidate and Run A Muck, Chuck Schumer, have hardly had or continue to have the best intentions for the American people - unless, of course, they personally profit. 

If you recall, Chuck Schumer has routinely criticized conservative Christians, and now with Amy Coney Barrett's nomination to the Supreme Court considered a Republican lock-up, ole' Chucky is up to his old games of deception and political parlor tricks. 

But now, with Barrett getting the nod from Trump and Senate Republicans, for Schumer, faith has no place, at least not on The Supreme Court. Even more, if confirmed, ole' Chucky is requesting that the then Justice Barrett recuse herself from any case regarding the Affordable Care Act or 2020 Election results that may require guidance or judicial review.

These are the political games of liberal-Democratic lawmakers. The left is completely disallowing voters' wishes of 2016 - claiming now that only 2020 votes should matter - that is, of course, should voters stand with and behind Biden in the ballot box in November. 

Thankfully, Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell understands the liberal monstrous mentality. And can pull a page from his political playbook to vote on a discharge resolution that would remove the responsibility of considering the committee's Barrett nomination—allowing McConnell, R-Ky, to call the nomination for a full vote. 

The fact of the matter is this, it is 4th and long, and liberals are gearing up for a Hail Mary - unfortunately for them, they are out of talent, out of luck, and out of time. Ultimately, despite their political theatre and attempts to publically pervert and community castrate Amy Coney Barrett - there is nothing they can do to keep the nomination from moving forward. Checkmate - Chucky! 

We must not turn a blind eye to the geriatric games of Joe Biden and his communist minions in Congress. Should the Harris-Biden Administration somehow become a reality, and should Republicans relinquish control of The White House and the Senate, make no mistake, Democrats will railroad socialism down the throats of all Americans. 

If you follow history, you know that all totalitarian regimes, before becoming legitimized and taking control, take an iron-grip on education, the media, and finally, government. Folks, since the Vietnam War, liberalism has cancerously cannibalized our nation's educational system. The goal? To churn out as many communist sheep as possible. Ask no questions - and pay no consequences - as long as you fall into line and socialistic submission. 

Liberal-thought has invaded our liberties - and now, we have allowed these out-of-touch asinine clowns to control our thoughts and our process. The last effort to cement these United States of America under a banner of communism is to control the courts - and in that, liberal-Democrats could and would hold power on the interpretation of their laws. 

I cannot begin to beg you to understand just what is in store for our nation if Biden becomes President in November. My words are not to instill fear; no, they are to attempt to bring logic to the lunacy of the radical left in this country.  

The Democratic party may be screaming that they are for change, but that isn't the case. If you don't believe me, take a look at who is heading their ticket. The combined years in office of their hopeful president in Joe Biden, Speaker of the House Pelosi, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is 101. That's right, over 100 years between the 3 of them - and nothing but Democratic-led destruction has blazed their political paths. 

Let me be clear - lifelong liberal politicians despise President Trump; it has been that hatred since even before his election that has led to their hate-filled hack job against him. You see, Donald Trump doesn't fit into their mold - and why? Because unlike the socialistic-rats like Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer, and Nancy Pelosi, Donald Trump doesn't need politics to survive. 

Democrats like Biden and his bunch have done nothing and could do nothing without the power and riches acquired while in office. They have not owned a business; they have been responsible for financial solvency and accountability. No, no, for generations, they have sucked and bled dry the American dream at the expense of those they have sworn to protect and those too gullible to know the difference. 

Biden, Schumer, and Pelosi prey on the weak and the disenfranchised. Why, because deep down, they and the Democratic party know that their base is made up of expendables. If you lose some, no big deal - for these people, they believe belong to a population class that no one would notice if they go missing. 

No one can debate on this - I have the facts to back this claim up. The facts are this, Joe Biden and those pulling his strings and propping him up to do not care about the American people. Instead, they only care about what is in it for them. Democratic leaders, like the Hollywood elites and a majority of professional athletes, couldn't cut the mustard in the private sector - and wouldn't know real, gritty hard work in the shoes of assembly line workers or farmers who have been instrumental to the foundation of our nation's economy. 

Democratic politicians are vultures, continuing to pick away at the skin of those in our society who try hard and succeed. In a socialist society, people are watered down to weather away in the muck of crap created by the left's communistic ideals. Mediocrity rewarded, creativity stifled, and our nation left defenseless and lacking innovation. 

For far too long, liberals have labeled capitalism as an evil; with every passing piece of legislation, Democrats become encouraged and emboldened in their efforts. Suppose somehow, Joe Biden and those who are pushing his political buttons steal a win in November. In that case, he and they will systemically destroy the Supreme Court of the United States, hellishly conjoining Congress and the courts for one purpose - to push their socialistic agenda and destroy the greatest democracy ever created. 

The time to understand has passed - the time for action is upon us.

Trump's Bait-and-Switch National Slavery and Human Trafficking Proclamation

NATIONAL SLAVERY & HUMAN TRAFFICKING PREVENTION MONTH, 2020. 

Please note that this Proclamation is issued as "President of the United States of America" ---- the Queen’s British Territorial Government, not as "President of the United States" ---- the Roman Vatican Pope’s Municipal United States Government,  which has always practiced slavery and enriched itself via the sale of slaves and the peonage of indentured servants.

African-Americans are both 1th/14th Amendment citizens of the Roman Vatican Pope’s Municipal United States and the Queen’s British Territorial United States, collectively, BAIT & SWITCH.

Savor the view:  Nancy Pelosi, priestess of the Roman Cult, impeaching Donald Trump for his "failure" as CEO of the UNITED STATES, INC., to support the practice of human slavery and human trafficking ---- one of the main sources of profit for the Municipal Government Corporation?  That's what is really going on here.  That, and a frantic effort to cover their asses for abuse of their offices for private gain.

Trump isn't supporting their criminal profit-making operations and is bucking against "The A Declaration” of July 4th, 1776,  of the de jure Sovereign Governments in The United States of North America" that has had both the Territorial United States Government and the Municipal United States Government colluding together to fleece all of the original people since 1937.

13th/13th Amendment Colonial Corporate African-Americans, howdy.....

Imagine the day when all the so-called African-Americans wake up and realize that it’s the Republicans and Democrats---their supposed champions---- that have been keeping them down? That Trump, Nancy, Chuckie and Harry have literally been offering them and their labor for sale to the highest bidder----and profiting themselves and their venal foreign Municipal "Government" Corporation from it?   Ever since the Civil War Era?

Yes, indeed, and that day is fast coming.  All it takes is a few hearty individuals to start looking deep at voting records and legislation promoted by the "Democratic Party" and the Big Lie will be exposed, like the giant manure pile it is.

Imagine the day when all the "Roman Catholics" fully realize what the "Roman" part of that means?

When all these good people realize that the so-called "Roman" Church is a separate, venal, pagan "religion" that has been co-existing under the same roof with the Christian Catholic Church ever since the Council of Nicea---- will they make "Hell" pay for it?

When they realize that their Baptismal Certificates have been bought and sold just like the Birth Certificates?

My, my, my, what a web we weave, when first we practice to deceive..... and now, all the cows are coming home, all the birds to roost, Satan's Kingdom of Lies is laid waste, all his champions running for their lives or milling around in Washington, DC, confused and still too dim and arrogant to realize that none of their schemes will do them any good.

The Apocalypse --- which means the drawing away of the veil, the revealing --- is upon us, in more ways than one, and all I can say is --- glory to God in the Highest, and on Earth, peace and goodwill to men.

That, and to remind Mr. Trump that the continued practice of issuing foreign "birth certificates" to Aboriginal babies is a form of the most venal kind of trafficking, forbidden by both the Geneva and Hague Conventions as a capital crime ---- and it must be stopped.

The entire birth registration machinery must be stopped and converted into a simple public recordkeeping system without any ownership interest implied, beyond identifying place of birth and lawful nationality.

Everyone, everywhere must be given full disclosure ---- and if anyone is daft enough to wish to continue as a foreign Municipal United States CITIZEN -- even after being given full disclosure, there is nothing standing in their way; however, let me suggest that being a slave with benefits cannot compare to being a Free Man with a country and a life of his own.

Van Jones Ignoring the Facts

Van Jones on video, saying the Russian Collusion story was a ‘nothing burger’. He is now walking it back, saying that what we see is not what it was. Let us assume that what we saw is exactly what we saw. I believe it is. For over a year we have been told there is no evidence. We have been told this by the FBI, the NSA and the CIA. Alan Dershowitz, renowned expositor of everything liberal, even says there is nothing there. Another CNN producer for fifteen years is caught on video saying they are running the story because it brings good ratings, and that it is a witch hunt to get Trump. I suppose my question is when are liberal folks going to get tired of the extremely partisan propaganda mills that pose as news sources? I, for one, turned Shepard Smith off long ago. I, for one, cannot stand Bill O’Reilly and was glad when he got knocked off the air. I, for one, get nauseous whenever I hear Hannity’s voice. He’s a book hawker of his own stuff and for everyone who gets on his show. Michael Savage is borderline insane. I glean the wire for actual news, taking from both liberal and conservative venues, to get at the truth. If you don’t do that, then you’re a sheep. I look at the web sites of Fox, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC and other left and right wing sites and put the material together. Somewhere in there always lies the truth...or a close facsimile of the truth. Sometimes that’s as good as it gets.

Of course Van Jones is going to come out and say his words were taken out of context...filtered...rearranged...cut and re-cut...and are nothing but a hoax. After all, James O’Keefe has been guilty of doing it before with Project Veritas on other videos, so this has GOT to be what happened here. No way Van Jones believes the ‘Russia Collusion’ story is a “nothing burger”, as he allegedly stated on the video. After all, this Yale educated, non-practicing attorney, socialistic, race baiter (allegedly) would never be partisan in his political philosophy and reporting. Right? I mean, right?

Remember when Trump got elected? Remember Van Jones going on a semi-controlled tirade, calling the election a ‘Whitelash’ against the Obama administration? What was it he said, exactly?

"This was a whitelash against a changing country," Jones said. "It was whitelash against a black president in part. And that's the part where the pain comes."

I am quite sure Mr. Jones is an intelligent man. But he allows his racial blindness to overshadow the facts of history, or even the facts of the present. What facts are those? Well, the first fact is his assumption that white people WHITELASHED against Obama, when the man wasn’t even running. Now we have Hillary out there claiming it was misogyny, or overall hatred of women, that lost the election for her. As well as Comey, the Russians, stampeding unicorns and that damned leprechaun who wouldn’t let her have that pot of gold he keeps hiding. So, which was it? White folk voting against a black man who wasn’t running for office, or white folk voting against an old white woman who didn’t have a message to begin with and is the least trusted person....man or woman...in politics today? What he said, and what he usually says, makes no sense.

For example, in 2012 Obama captured 39 percent of white voters. That’s the same percentage Bubba Clinton got in 1992. Granted, it was a three way race. But, let’s go back further, when a black man would have never gotten the nomination for president to begin with. Obama exceeded Walter Mondale (1984) and Jimmy Carter (1980) and George McGovern (1972). What’s more, the percentage of white voters did not matter as much as it did with Mondale or Carter, because the percentage of the Caucasian vote wasn’t that significant in 2012 as it was in 1984 or 1980. And, as a matter of FACT, the white vote as a percentage of the overall electorate has declined in every election since 1992. In 2008, Obama captured 43 percent of the white vote. Even though there was a significant drop off in 2012 (to 39%), Romney’s 44 point deficit among Hispanic voters is what lost that election for him.  (This paragraph information courtesy of the Washington Post)

Think about it. On average, a black man running twice for president in the United States, garnered 41% of the white votes cast. Where was the whitelash in 2008, or 2012? Why did this ‘whitelash’ suddenly occur when the man wasn’t running? I fully believe that if he could have run, he would have won. No way Trump would have beaten him. NO WAY.

The reason Trump won and the Democrats are constantly losing governorships, representative seats and senate seats, is because they have no message for middle America and the citizens of America. Trump was saying the things that most Americans are concerned about. Hillary was talking about putting coal out of business. Hillary was talking about LGBT and keeping abortions legal and raising taxes and bringing bigger government to an already bloated government system. HIllary was talking about green energy good, fossil fuel energy bad, when the entire Gulf Coast depends on oil and gas. These things resonate in some of the northeast and mostly west coasts, but not in middle and southern America. Trump was talking about jobs, the economy, fair trade, immigration reform, protecting from Islamic Terrorism...YES...HE WOULD ACTUALLY SAY IT.  Trump was talking about the UN being the big joke that it is. Trump was talking about NATO paying up, instead of us always paying up. Trump was talking about lowering taxes and repealing Obamacare. And it needs fixing at the very least!!!! The reason Hillary lost was because it was Hillary. People were voting against her. They weren’t voting against Obama. And they weren’t voting FOR Trump, necessarily. They were voting against her and voting for the alternative message. End of story.

I don’t know if Van Jones called the Russia Collusion fiasco a nothing burger or not. But I do know what he said on election night revealed a lot about how he thinks, and how he thinks wrong. White people voted for Obama in droves, TWICE. They voted against Hillary and the Democratic Party’s direction they are taking this country. They are sick of Nancy ‘Bubble Head’ Pelosi, and Mad Maxine Waters, and Chucky Duck Schumer, and Sheila Jackson Lee, the one who said that homicide is the leading cause of murder in this country. We are sick, sick, sick of them. Van Jones should start practicing law, and get off of TV. He’s nothing but a race baiter (allegedly), and doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Unless he really DID say that the Russia thingy was a ‘nothing burger’. In that case, he got it right.
