#maga is a fraudulent movement

[blackpilledkremlintsarina5294]

Everywhere, there are savages . It ain't just an Islam problem. It's obnoxious to imply that Muslims have the most abusive religion when abuse happens everywhere across the globe. Democrats and Republicans are a complete joke. The Democrats' evil are more out in the open, but they try to sugareoat that evil, whereas Republicans are more straightforward about their bigotry, but claim to be the saviors of the United States because they don't have as much power as the Democrats. Deep down, the Republicans wish to have as much power as the Democrats while the Democrats would like to deport illegals they have no use for.

For those bewildered by why so many Americans apparently voted against the values of liberal democracy, Balint Magyar has a useful formulation. “Liberal democracy,” he says, “offers moral constraints without problem-solving” — a lot of rules, not a lot of change — while “populism offers problem-solving without moral constraints.” Magyar, a scholar of autocracy, isn’t interested in calling Donald Trump a fascist. He sees the president-elect’s appeal in terms of something more primal: “Trump promises that you don’t have to think about other people.”

Around the world, populist autocrats have leveraged the thrilling power of that promise to transform their countries into vehicles for their own singular will. Vladimir Putin and Viktor Orban vowed to restore a simpler, more orderly past, in which men were men and in charge. What they delivered was permission to abandon societal inhibitions, to amplify the grievances of one’s own group and heap hate on assorted others, particularly on groups that cannot speak up for themselves. Magyar calls this “morally unconstrained collective egoism.”

Trump’s first term, and his actions in the four years since, tracked the early record of Putin and Orban in important ways. Looking closely at their trajectories, through the lens of Magyar’s theories, gives a chillingly clear sense of where Trump’s second term may lead.

I called Magyar to ask about this pattern in the late winter of 2021, when it became clear to me that Trump would run for re-election. Magyar is Hungarian, and has extensively studied the autocracy of Orban. Like Trump, Orban had been cast out of office (in 2002, in a vote his supporters said had been fraudulent); he didn’t regain power until eight years later. In the interim, he consolidated his movement, positioning himself and his party as the only true representatives of the Hungarian people. It followed that the sitting government was illegitimate and that anyone who supported it was not part of the nation. When Orban was re-elected, he carried out what Magyar calls an “autocratic breakthrough,” changing laws and practices so that he could not be dislodged again. It helped that he had a supermajority in parliament. Trump, similarly, spent four years attacking the Biden administration, and the vote that brought it to the White House, as fraudulent, and positioning himself as the only true voice of the people. He is also returning with a power trifecta — the presidency and both houses of Congress. He too can quickly reshape American government in his image.

Trump and his supporters have shown tremendous hostility to civic institutions — the judiciary, the media, universities, many nonprofits, some religious groups — that seek to define and enforce our obligations to one another. Autocrats such as Orban and Putin reject that deliberative process, claiming for themselves the exclusive right to define those obligations. If those two leaders, and Trump’s own first term, are any indication, he will likely begin by getting rid of experts, regulators and other civil servants he sees as superfluous, eliminating jobs that he thinks simply shouldn’t exist. Expect asylum officers to be high on that list.

A major target outside of government will be universities. In Hungary, the Central European University, a pioneering research and educational institution (and Magyar’s academic home), was forced into exile. To understand what can happen to public universities in the United States, look at Florida, where the administration of Gov. Ron DeSantis has effectively turned the state university system into a highly policed arm of his government. The MAGA movement’s attack on private universities has been underway for some time; most recently it drove the congressional hearings on antisemitism, in the wake of which half a dozen college presidents no longer have their jobs. Watch for moves to strip private universities of federal funding and tax breaks. Under this kind of financial pressure, even the largest and wealthiest universities will cut jobs and shutter departments; smaller liberal arts colleges will go out of business.

Civil society groups — especially those that serve or advocate for immigrants, formerly incarcerated people, L.G.B.T.Q. people, women and vulnerable groups — will be attacked. Then they may come for the unions.

In an Opinion article in The Washington Post, the publisher of The Times, A.G. Sulzberger, laid out some probable scenarios for a Trump administration’s war on the media. I would add that, like Orban — and like the first Trump administration — this president will reward loyal media with privileged access and will attack critical media by targeting its owners’ other businesses. That is a particularly effective tactic, one that we may have seen at work even before Trump was re-elected, when the billionaire owners of The Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post decided to nix their publications’ presidential endorsements. (Explaining their decision, the owners cited reasons not related to deference to Trump.)

--

Kamala Harris’s campaign, of course, tried to warn Americans about this and a lot more, labeling Trump a fascist. But Magyar describes fascist movements as “ideology-driven” in a way Trump is not. Take, for comparison, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the former prime minister of Poland, who pursued severe abortion restrictions even when polls showed that those policies could cost him his office. Trump, on the other hand, campaigned against abortion rights when it suited his ends and then positioned himself as a champion of reproductive rights when the context shifted.

I was not convinced by this distinction. To use George Orwell’s formulation, a politician’s face grows to fit his ideological mask. There is perhaps no better example of this than Vladimir Putin, once a cynic with no political convictions, who is now waging a costly, disastrous war in the name of an ideology (incoherent though it may be) of his own invention. And it’s only in hindsight that the European fascists of the 20th century appear to have been driven by coherent ideology: Many of their contemporaries described their beliefs as a hodgepodge. The Yale philosopher Jason Stanley, author of the book “How Fascism Works,” has argued that fascists are defined less by political beliefs than by the way they do politics: by trafficking in fear and hatred of the “other,” by affirming the supremacy of “us” over “them.” All of which describes Trump, doesn’t it?

I made that case to Magyar, unsuccessfully. Look at the Trump family’s appetite for profiting from his political office, he said. That’s not something fascists are known for. The Nazis, for example — “when they took away property from the Jews, they didn’t put it in their own pockets,” he said. “They put it in the state budget.” Orban, on the other hand, is understood to be extraordinarily wealthy; Putin is rumored to be the richest man in Russia. To become the wealthiest man in America, Trump would have to amass more capital than Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos, which seems all but impossible. Putin solved this exact problem by extorting his wealthy allies and robbing his rich enemies.

--

Orban used the fear and hatred of immigrants to declare a state of emergency when refugees from the Middle East started coming to Europe in 2015. (He later used the Covid-19 pandemic and then the Russia-Ukraine war as pretexts to adopt emergency powers.) Trump, during his first term, similarly declared a national emergency in connection with the arrival of asylum seekers at the southern border of the United States. President Biden lifted this national emergency in 2021. But the United States has been under a permanent national emergency since Sept. 14, 2001, when President George W. Bush declared it in response to the 9/11 attacks. Every subsequent president, including Barack Obama and Joe Biden, has renewed this national emergency on an annual basis. That is only one of dozens of national emergencies currently in effect, most of them having lasted years.

In Orban’s case, emergency powers have given him expanded control over the armed forces, including the option of deploying the military domestically. In the United States, the president, under certain circumstances, already has this power. But a state of emergency offers an additional slew of “extraordinary powers.” These include the ability to redirect federal funds, as Trump did to finance the construction of the border wall. And the arsenal of power extends to curtailing electronic communications and — perhaps of particular interest to Trump — ways of exerting pressure on private business. Orban has used similar provisions of Hungarian law to exercise “state supervision” over private companies. In Hungary, Orban is the state.

--

Magyar describes autocratic breakthrough as the transition from the rule of law to the law of rule. When Putin campaigned for president in 2000, his slogan was “Dictatorship of the Law.” I remember a banner with that phrase decorating a polling station in besieged Chechnya. He proceeded to rule by decree, as Orban does now and as Trump did in his first term — and has said he intends to do in his second.

Reading Magyar’s writing about that period, I was struck most of all by the mood that seemed to accompany Orban’s actions. We all remember it from Trump’s first term, this sense of everything happening all at once and the utter impossibility of focusing on the existentially threatening, or distinguishing it from the trivial — if that distinction even exists. It’s not just what the autocrats do to stage their breakthrough, it’s how they do it: passing legislation (or signing executive orders) fast, without any discussion, sometimes late at night, in batches, all the while denigrating and delegitimizing any opposition.

As to the specifics, we know less than we may think we know. Had Trump been elected to a second term in 2020, Magyar says he would have expected him to try to repeal the 22nd Amendment, which established a two-term limit for presidents. I think he may still try to do it, clearing the way to run again at the age of 82. Much has been written about Project 2025 as a sort of legislative blueprint for the second Trump presidency. The historian Rick Perlstein, in a series of articles in The American Prospect, has argued that some of this coverage is misleading. Project 2025 is a vast, complicated document full of contradictory recommendations apparently made by people with different beliefs and agendas. Consistent with Magyar’s theory of autocracy, the document is more a reflection of the clan of people who empower Trump and are empowered by him than an ideological document. It is not a blueprint for coherent legislative change, but it is a blueprint still: a blueprint for trampling the system of government as it is currently constituted, a blueprint of destruction.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, far-right MAGA conspiracy theorists and anti-vaxxers angrily railed against vaccines — falsely claiming, with zero evidence, that they were dangerous. President Joe Biden and Dr. Anthony Fauci, his top White House medical adviser, pushed back against their claims and assured Americans that the COVID-19 vaccines from Moderna, Pfizer and others were perfectly safe.

Even former President Donald Trump himself encouraged vaccination, maintaining his opposition to vaccine mandates. Some conspiracy theorists, including Infowars' Alex Jones, saw Trump's pro-vaccine stand as a betrayal.

Anti-vaxxers and medical conspiracy theorists are still plentiful in MAGA World. And according to Mother Jones' Kiera Butler, they are making their presence felt among autism groups and falsely claiming that vaccines are a cause of autism.

"For a quarter of a century," Butler explains in an article published by Mother Jones on April 13, "proponents of unproven autism treatments have overlapped with anti-vaccine activists. The vaccine skepticism movement took off after British physician Andrew Wakefield published a study in 1998 suggesting that routine childhood vaccinations caused autism. That study was later found to be fraudulent, the paper retracted, and Wakefield barred from practicing medicine in the United Kingdom."

Butler continues, "Nonetheless, the myth of vaccines causing autism persisted and has been amplified by organizations like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s Children's Health Defense and celebrities including Jenny McCarthy, and Oprah Winfrey. Even the largest and most powerful autism advocacy organization, Autism Speaks, which was founded in 2005 and today runs a $50 million budget, did not officially distance itself from vaccine skepticism until 2015. Over the last few decades, many groups and individuals who spread falsehoods about vaccines as the cause of autism began to promote unproven and sometimes dangerous treatments for it — special diets, supplements, cleanses, and pricey medical spa experiences."

RFK, Jr.'s Children's Health Defense (CHD) should not be confused with the Children's Defense Fund (CDF), which is in no way affiliated with RFK, Jr.'s organization. Children's Health Defense and the Children's Defense Fund are totally separate groups with different views.

Butler notes, "This world of dubious autism treatments used to be mostly limited to private social media groups and conferences. Indeed, beginning about a decade ago, the very notion of autism as a disorder began to lose currency among many autistic people and scientists who study autism: They started to view the condition not as an affliction, but rather as an innate brain difference. Autistic people experience the world differently, and that difference, they say, is something to be honored rather than treated."

Is American Culture Too Dishonest?

For better or worse American culture is foisted upon the world. Hollywood and American celebrity churn out product that is distributed globally. Streaming services, Big Tech, and a host of other US corporations do business everywhere they can. The United States is seen as the military and economic superpower. Leadership, however, comes with scrutiny and is American culture too dishonest? Most in your face, of late, is the whole Donald Trump circus and this has done America no favours internationally. The fact that those Americans who voted have opted to return Trump to the Presidency is quite something.

Dishonest Donald Trump

A compulsive liar, cheat, convicted felon and adjudged sex offender in a civil case Donald Trump is not your typical political leader. The most positive thing that could be said about him is that he appears to wear his failings more openly than some. Perhaps, he truly is the President that America deserves. The United States has been a dishonest imperial power for more than a century. It has had its military and the CIA do its dirty bidding in countless conflicts in Central America, the Middle East, South East Asia and Europe. Governments doing the bidding of the private interests of corporations is nothing new for Western powers, however.

American Judicial Culture Unethical

Is American culture too dishonest? The machination of Trump and his MAGA movement have been shocking to behold. Even more shocking has been the complete failure of the American justice system to hold him to account. The captive Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) has been gobsmackingly shocking. To see the truism about how rich folk in America can buy justice confirmed so blatantly has been depressing. The endemic institutional racism in the police and justice systems remains there for all to see. The economic effects of centuries of racism denying opportunities for African Americans has been devastating. The dishonesty among Republicans in positions of authority over decades is unforgivable. Partisan politics bedevils the judicial system and makes a mockery of such things as fairness and impartiality. Exploiting Profits From Patients In Despair The dishonesty within American culture goes way beyond the institutions of government and the law courts. The recent gun murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson highlighted the blatant greed of ‘for profit’ corporations and their take over of the health sector. Hospitals and health insurance used to be run by ‘not for profit’ organisations up until the 1990s. Now, you have companies like United Healthcare generating annual revenue in the hundreds of billions of dollars. They do this by putting profit concerns over that of the patients they are supposed to represent. This is dishonesty of a particular sickening variety and people from other countries look at Americans involved in this kind of thing with revulsion. This includes those who are investors in these companies and their bankers.

History and how American history is taught to its young people is another example of its fraudulent nature. The great majority of Americans grow up and go to school unaware of swathes of defining historical events. Many of these involved massacres of people and are inconvenient truths for the ruling classes. The education departments seem to have big erasers with which to rub out parts of the nation’s history. Out of sight is out of mind. “Here is a list of some of the countless massacres in the history of the United States. Most of these massacres were designed to suppress voting rights, land ownership, economic advancement, education, freedom of the press, religion, LGBTQ rights, and/or labor rights of African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Asians, and immigrants. While often referred to as “race riots,” they were massacres to maintain white supremacy.” - Wilmington Massacre 10th Nov 1898 - Battle of Virden 12th Oct 1898 - Lattimer Massacre 10th Sept 1897 - Polk County Massacre 5th Aug 1896 - Wounded Knee Massacre 29th Dec 1890 - Thibodaux Massacre 23rd Nov 1887 - Massacre at Hells Canyon 27th May 1887 - Carroll County Courthouse Massacre 17th March 1886 - Rock Springs Massacre 2nd Sept 1885 - Danville Riot 3rd Nov 1883 - Hamburg Massacre 8th July 1876 - Clinton, Mississippi Massacre 4th Sept 1875 - Vicksburg Massacre 7th Dec 1874 - White League Attacks Black Voters 3rd Nov 1874 - Colfax Massacre 13th April 1873 - Skeleton Cave Massacre 28th Dec 1872 - Los Angeles Chinatown Massacre 24th Oct 1871 - St. Bernard Parish Massacre 25th Oct 1868 - Opelousas Massacre 28th Sept 1868 - Camilla Massacre 19th Sept 1866 - New Orleans Massacre 30th July 1866 - Memphis Massacre 1-3 May 1866 - Ebenezer Creek Massacre 9th Dec 1864 - Sand Creek Massacre 29th Nov 1864 - Union Soldiers Massacred at Fort Pillow 12th April 1864 Continued on at https://www.zinnedproject.org/collection/massacres-us/page/3/ There are another 2 pages of this list and many of these would be unfamiliar to most Americans as being crucial parts of their history. All of these many massacres have a racial element and it is usually the dominant white cohort massacring people of colour. Downplaying these numerous events in history and in most instances consigning them to the forgotten bin is not done accidentally. It is a violent and dishonest people whitewashing their history for future generations. The Lies Americans Are Told Out of this dishonest teaching of American history grows a culture brought up on lies. Americans are continually lied to about their country and culture. They are told that they live in the land of the free. Free to what? Free to endlessly pay for everything? ‘User pays’ is the great neoliberal credo. Medicines and medical treatment are more expensive in the United States than most other Western nations. Drugs are way cheaper in Canada. It is a rort designed to make investors in the companies rich at the expense of sick people. They live in a gun culture, where gun manufacturers make huge revenues at the expense of the safety of ordinary Americans.

Yes, there are more companies making profits from the higher education sector in the US. The financialization of everything has occurred in America over the last couple of decades. The nation may have outsourced manufacturing to China and other poorer countries but Wall Street has been busy making life much more expensive for the average American. All the time, folk are assured that neoliberal economics will be more efficient and make stuff cheaper – but it never does. What is does do is make a few much wealthier at the expense of the many in its usual dishonest fashion. Remember the promises of the ‘trickledown effect’? The economics of America are founded on dishonesty and every year they ramp it up even further. Still, Americans vote for Trump and the GOP. Stupid is as stupid does – this should be the real credo for these Americans. Photo by ahmad' s on Pexels.com The Dishonesty On American TV If you watch American network TV there is this air of smugness portrayed in the characters of the shows. You do not get this in, say British TV shows. Storylines in these network dramas are invariably too pat and usually end by reinforcing some obvious ideal of American morality. The message to audiences is that the archetypal American character is supremely confident in his or her lifestyle choices. Most importantly, they consider themselves to be way smarter than the rest. Is this the secret of Donald Trump, reality TV celebrity fake billionaire, and his cult worship by his MAGA fans? The smugness of Donny? Dishonesty about ourselves is, perhaps, the most dangerous of all dishonesties. Jeff Bezos by U.S. Air Force is licensed under CC-CC0 1.0 The Dishonest Viper’s Nest Of Foreign Affairs The most treacherous dishonesty is always displayed by nation states in their dealings with each other. Diplomacy is the art of lying gracefully. The cruellest fate is reserved for those individuals who get tangled up by circumstance in this morass of shite. The Lockerbie bombing is one such example. Here there were glaring inadequacies displayed by the British Department of Transport, which resulted in terrorists putting a bomb on board a Pan Am flight out of Heathrow airport. 270 innocent people died in this horrific incident. The PM Margaret Thatcher refused to hold an independent inquiry in her usual arrogant way. The tangled web of foreign governments involved included the US, Britain, Germany, Iran, Palestine, Libya, Holland, and the list goes on. The lies told by American DOJ, British officials, police, diplomats and secret services turned this tragedy into a football kicked around for decades. Dishonesty in the face of severe personal tragedy shone a bright light on just how governments behave no matter the cost to their own citizens. Both the Clintons, at different times, come out of this looking particularly shabby. “ Lockerbie: A Search for Truth follows Dr Swire and his wife in the wake of the explosion of Pan Am flight 103 from London to New York, over the Scottish town of Lockerbie. Dr Swire's daughter had been travelling to visit her boyfriend in America for Christmas, when she became a victim of the deadliest terror attack in British history.

The publicity departments work overtime to put the most positive spin on everything. Right wing politicians look to Trump as potential role model and inspiration for bringing the toxic concoction to their own neck of the woods. America has brought the world fast food and all those nutritionally bereft gaudy outlets selling their burgers and fried chicken. Streets have become strip malls with neon signs hawking promises of fast, salt and sugar infested high fat foods. In fact, shopping centres now contain the same stores the world over, as accountants and developers have merged and taken over anything independent. These are all Americanisation’s. Globalisation has had a very strong American character to it. American culture on the screen. Social media is an American invention. American culture on the street via those ubiquitous fast food outlets and retail chains. American companies with their hands in your pockets in the form of subscriptions from Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and the list goes on. Our very lives lack meaning outside of some dishonest American cultural invention. Is American culture too dishonest? I ask you?

They Tried to STEAL 2024 Like They Did in 2020: Mail-In Fraud, Ballot Rigging, NGO Infiltration, Bureaucratic Sabotage—But Trump’s MAGA Army DESTROYED the Globalist Machine!

The truth is out, and the Deep State’s house of cards is collapsing. The same shadow network that orchestrated the 2020 coup against Donald Trump tried to repeat their success in 2024 but failed spectacularly.

Their schemes, from election manipulation to staged unrest, were exposed, and despite their vast resources, Trump emerged victorious. The American people delivered a resounding blow to the elites’ plans, but their efforts reveal a chilling truth: the lengths they’ll go to maintain control.

A Reminder of 2020’s Election Sabotage

The fraudulent election wasn’t just about mail-in ballots—it was a multi-pronged attack on democracy itself. A coalition of shadow organizations plotted everything, from voter manipulation to the January 6 Capitol breach. They weren’t just trying to defeat Trump; they aimed to frame his supporters as enemies of the state.

In 2024, the Deep State pulled out all the stops, thinking they could repeat their 2020 success. But this time, their schemes unraveled.

Their desperation was evident as they employed even more extreme tactics, including:

Mail-In Ballots and Ballot Harvesting 2.0 Swing states were flooded with mail-in ballots, but patriots were watching. Investigations uncovered ballot trafficking on an industrial scale, with operatives coordinating efforts to manipulate results in key districts.

Corruption at the Polling Places Infiltrators were sent to polling stations in battleground states to delay counts and reject valid votes. But whistleblowers exposed their tactics, preventing a repeat of 2020’s debacle.

High-Tech Censorship and Surveillance Big Tech amplified disinformation, silencing Trump supporters and tracking them to neutralize their influence.

Foreign Influence and NGO Operations Foreign governments and international financiers fueled anti-Trump operations, trying to sabotage his campaign through NGOs and globalist propaganda.

A New January 6 Trap The Deep State tried to engineer another January 6-style event by embedding agitators at Trump rallies, but the MAGA movement, now wise to their tactics, exposed them before they could act.

Why Their Plan Failed

Despite their resources, the Deep State underestimated the resolve of the American people. Whistleblowers revealed the same fraud and manipulation tactics used in 2020, providing irrefutable evidence. Poll watchers, citizen journalists, and grassroots organizations worked tirelessly to ensure transparency.

Trump’s legal team countered their tactics with surgical precision, ensuring their attempts to manipulate the vote were quickly neutralized.

The Fallout

The Deep State’s failure in 2024 has exposed their network. Investigations are underway to uncover the full extent of their operations, and key players within federal agencies, NGOs, and activist groups are being held accountable.

What’s Next?

The Deep State may have failed to steal 2024, but they aren’t finished. Their infrastructure remains intact, and they’ll regroup to sabotage Trump’s administration. Leftist groups are already mobilizing for civil unrest, while the media and Big Tech work to delegitimize Trump’s presidency.

The fight isn’t over—it’s just beginning. Patriots must stay vigilant to ensure the Deep State never succeeds again.

The Deep State tried to steal the 2024 election, but this time, they failed. The republic depends on us

The Trump Immunity Decision?

The Supreme Court (excuse me, the six Conservative Justices) agreed their was a broad criminal immunity for presidents when they were engaging in an "official act." Generally this means if the President is acting with the power granted to him by thr Constitution, that he/she is not able to be prosecuted

The specifc example that the Court (excuse me, Six Conservative Justices) found was when Donald Trump directed his Attorney General to send letters to states fraudulently claiming there was voter fraud when the administration had found none, in hopes of convincing states to overturn their elections. The Court said this was protected by the Presidential Immunity

The Dissent poses some very reasonable questions to the Majority about the scope of this Immunity. Namely, they ask a question that they asked during Oral Arguments. If the President is the commander and chief of the United States Military, and the President can and will sign off or order drone strikes and assassinations on particular figures, would this not be an "Official Act" of the executive? What prevents a President from ordering his military to assassinate or detain a political rival? Shouldnt there be penalties for a President doing something like that?

The Majority offers no answer to this question. They explain that a President enjoys absolute, or at least presumptive immunity for all Official Acts. Official Acts are anything "not manifestly or palpably beyond his authority." No guardrails. No accountability.

Gee, I wonder why people might be concerned about Trump, the cultish figurehead of the MAGA movement who is now asking for loyalty pledges for consideration in his administration, abusing this insane Supreme Court decision.

Biden Is Running a Protection Racket

October 28, 2020

By Sidney Powell

 Joe Biden's big pitch is his promise to restore calm.  It's a con.  It's Antifa and Black Lives Matter — both on his side — that are stirring everything up.  He's trying to run a protection racket: vote Democrat, or the chaos continues.

Biden talks of calm, but it is not Trump-supporters storming restaurants and other public places across the country to demand obeisance to their agenda.  Instead, from Washington to Kentucky to Florida, it is the "Black Lives Matter" movement — which Biden has made a centerpiece of his campaign — that has smashed up restaurants, threatened their owners, and demanded that diners raise the black power fist.  As one headline put it, "aggressive mob of white BLM protesters threaten and film white diners at DC restaurants and DEMAND they raise their fist and show solidarity with them...or else."

Biden speaks of tolerance, but it isn't MAGA people marching into our schools, newsrooms, and even corporate boardrooms to demand absolute allegiance; it's Biden-supporting leftists.  As President Trump warned in his Independence Day address at Mt. Rushmore, if you do not "perform its rituals, recite its mantras, and follow its commandments, then you will be censored, banished, blacklisted, persecuted, and punished."

Biden professes not to treat the other party as the enemy, but he demonizes his opponents whenever he opens his mouth.  Just this week, he called Trump-supporters "chumps."  And his supporters call themselves "the resistance" — a term ordinarily used to describe armed insurgency against an occupying military power.

Biden speaks of mutual respect, but he demonstrates contempt, animosity, and rage at Trump-supporters.  Let's face it: no one in America is afraid of going out in public while wearing a Biden hat.

Biden accuses the president of sowing chaos, but small businesses across the country haven't boarded up their windows in advance of MAGA rallies.

Biden decries deepening divisions but defends government-wide indoctrination sessions that preach tribalism and racism rather than unity and colorblindness.  In the first debate, with the assistance of moderator Chris Wallace, Biden dismissed the spread of "Critical Race Theory" as "racial sensitivity training."

Critical Race Theory is an explicitly Marxist academic concept that casts all white people as oppressors.  It maintains that white Americans must stop valuing "white" things like "individualism" and "objectivity" and give up their "comfort," "relationships with some other white people," and even their "physical safety" to atone for their "complicity in the system of white supremacy."

A recent Wall Street Journal column called it "a deeply ideological agenda that includes reducing people to a racial essence, segregating them, and judging them by their group identity rather than individual character, behavior and merit."  Joe Biden just calls that "sensitivity."

There's nothing new about the bad faith behind the Democratic appeal to "civility."  What it really means is: no dissent from its views.  Just submit.

It started even before President Trump's inauguration.  When Vice President–Elect Mike Pence and his wife went to see Hamilton on Broadway two weeks after his election victory, the cast berated him from the stage, haranguing the New York City audience to boo him.  A Democrat restaurateur in Virginia kicked White House press secretary Sarah Sanders out.  Crowds yelled "shame" at Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen as she tried to eat dinner at a Mexican restaurant in Washington.

Democrat elected officials cheered the thuggishness on from the very beginning.  Rep. Maxine Waters, in a typical display of civility, said that if you see Trump Cabinet members "in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd ... [a]nd you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere."

If Joe Biden is really all about a return to civility, why is his national campaign co-chair Cedric Richmond, a top-ranking Democrat who defended Waters's shocking call for public harassment, disturbance of the peace, bullying, and shaming?

The truth is, Biden has gone all in on division and hatred from the moment he launched his campaign with complete lies about the president's remarks on the violence in Charlottesville in 2017 — remarks that included the words "I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally."

As it turns out, the president's prediction at that juncture — that if you pulled down Robert E. Lee's statues, they would come for Washington and Jefferson next — proved entirely correct.  The violence that day in Charlottesville would eventually pale in comparison to the violence accompanying leftists' attempts to take over our cities and pull down our monuments — while Biden and Democrat mayors and public officials joined in marches or watched their cities burn.

The fraudulent Biden campaign has no policies, no proposals, no plans to do anything but divide America to facilitate the return of Biden and the Democrats to power to enrich their friends and themselves at the expense of "we the people."  Unified patriots are their greatest fear.

Don't be fooled by Biden's sanctimonious rhetoric.  He is not the Fire Department.  He is the arsonist lobbing Molotov cocktails.

As we all know, the last election was a  “tipping point” election on many different levels. An election won with the use of illegal last-minute changes to state election laws has led to a rogue regime that threatens the very foundations of America.  This is being achieved through highly questionable executive orders, the decimation of the concept of national sovereignty and an attack on fossil fuels, the lifeblood of our economy.  Moreover, Biden is converting our military into a social justice agency and transforming our intelligence services into witch-hunters for conservatives who dared to protest a stolen election.

More alarming is the left’s goal to make its political power permanent by granting amnesty to 20-30 million illegal aliens, granting statehood to D.C. and Puerto Rico, expanding the Supreme Court, and normalizing the censorship of conservatives, not to mention the institutionalizing of election fraud, especially in key swing states.  

There is little doubt, if history is our guide, that should the left achieve permanent political  power, future elections will just become  “show” elections, our 1st and 2nd Amendment rights will be diminished, if not gutted, and our economy will become permanently stagnant as with all other socialist economies in the world.   It will be the beginning of the end of America as we know it.

Our Founders, however, were extremely wary of federal power and thus created a number of checks and balances to counter it.  One of them was the ability by the states to “nullify” federal laws and even Supreme Court decisions.   As most conservatives  know, nullification is when a State decides to not abide by a federal law, regulation or even a Federal court ruling by simply refusing to enforce it.  This concept is rooted in the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution, which plainly states that if the states, who are the creators of the federal government, have not specifically given them authority, that authority rests with the states and the people of the state:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Over the last 150 years or so, liberal legislators and judges have violated the Tenth Amendment by illegally expanding the scope and power of the federal government. We know that Federal power is limited because such powers were actually “enumerated” or listed in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution and include actions  such as  “To lay and collect taxes,”  “coin money,” and   “raise and support Armies.”  The federal government was not given any role in education, health, welfare, transportation, energy, or even with maintaining secure borders.  All those issues were left up to the states to decide. If our founders wanted to expand the federal government into every area of our life, they would not have specifically listed the very few powers they granted it.

Conservative constitutional scholars such as Thomas E. Woods, in his book, Nullification, How to Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21st Century, documents that our Founders believed that if a “law is unconstitutional and therefore void and of no effect, it is up to the states, the parties to the federal compact, to declare it so and thus refuse to enforce it.”

The left will scream about such nullification efforts, but they have been engaged in nullifying federal laws for years.  For example, all state laws legalizing marijuana are illegal since they’re  in conflict with federal narcotic laws, but states have simply refused to enforce these federal laws and so have “nullified” them. 

Likewise,  states controlled by the left have allowed various cities and counties to become “sanctuaries” in which they refused to abide by federal immigration laws.  And no, the Marines were not sent in nor did any state or city even suffer the loss of federal funding.

It is time our side use this tactic as a way of protecting our constitutional rights. Here are some of the issues that could be affected by the concept of nullification:

Nullify all 1st Amendment Restrictions.  States should refuse to enforce all federal edicts and Supreme Court rulings that impinge upon the 1st Amendment protections of our religious freedom, such as efforts by radical gays to force churches, faith based adopting agencies,  religious schools, colleges, and businesses to carry out a radical gay and transexual agenda.

Nullify all federal efforts to undermine the 2nd Amendment.  States should nullify all federal laws that compromise the 2nd Amendment such as those being proposed by the Biden team.

Nullify open border policies. With Biden announcing his intent to grant amnesty to all illegal aliens, combined with his hostility to border security, expect the border to get  out of control. Already, migrant caravans are heading to the border.  States should nullify such pro-open border policies and use their resources to stop illegal immigration.   The reality is that states were originally involved in setting immigration policy and indeed, used to detain and deport illegals prior to the existence of a Border Patrol or ICE. The only mention in the constitution regarding immigration is "to establish a uniform Rule of Naturalization."  

Nullify the anti-police agenda. During the Obama regime, his DoJ hamstrung city police departments all over the country with phony “civil rights” investigations, resulting in cities hesitant to arrest or prosecute violent thugs.  With anti-police activists surrounding Biden, his administration will do the same, thereby empowering leftist rioters in our cities. The founders never gave the federal government a law enforcement role as they thought this responsibility best be carried out by local police and sheriff departments.  States should resist and ignore all federal anti-police regulations and DoJ harassment of local police departments.

Nullify all federal efforts to preserve fraudulent voting procedures. Conservative states need to immediately take action on election fraud and pass comprehensive voter ID laws, which, of course, will be attacked by Biden’s DoJ as a “civil rights” violation. States also need to remove the estimated 2-3 million illegal aliens from its voting rolls. Indeed, a fact check site has documented that the millions of illegal aliens are currently voting and may have thrown the election to Biden. States need to stop disenfranchising its legal citizens and also purge from its voter rolls dead people, repeat registrations, and those who moved out of state. 

Of course, states will be reluctant to invoke nullification but the alternative would be to watch our constitutional rights be trashed by leftists.  The MAGA movement in the Red States needs to became active in urging legislators and governors to start reclaiming their constitutional powers and begin nullifying illegal Federal law.  

Once states are engaged in nullifying federal laws, I believe we will witness what I call the “great migration” in which conservatives will leave blue states to live in red states and vice-versa.  And yes, this could lead to a peaceful balkanization of America in which the Red states become redder and the Blue states become bluer, but this is not our fault.  It is the left that is  assaulting our constitutional rights and if conservatives desire to live in states that protect their rights, then so be it.    

Already, we are seeing some movement in the states on the nullification front. The Arizona Senate passed a bill that declares it will not enforce federal gun control laws. Oklahoma, South Dakota and North Dakota legislators have all introduced legislation that nullifies Biden’s executive orders.  

Nullification is simply returning America to its original system of governance in which most governmental authority is decentralized to the states and counties. The federal government can’t do much about it other than to cut federal funding for some state programs, but perhaps the time has come for states to do away with these federal handcuffs.

And Trump wants to invigorate AIPAC because of his undying devotion to Israel. That's the guy who told you that he was going to fight the deep state. AIPAC is a lobby in the United States. What Trump claims to be against is what he is himself. MAGA is as fraudulent of a movement as the Black Lives Matter movement.

They Tried to STEAL 2024 Like They Did in 2020: Mail-In Fraud, Ballot Rigging, NGO Infiltration, Bureaucratic Sabotage—But Trump’s MAGA Army DESTROYED the Globalist Machine!

The truth is out, and the Deep State’s house of cards is collapsing. The same shadow network that orchestrated the 2020 coup against Donald Trump tried to repeat their success in 2024 but failed spectacularly.

Their schemes, from election manipulation to staged unrest, were exposed, and despite their vast resources, Trump emerged victorious. The American people delivered a resounding blow to the elites’ plans, but their efforts reveal a chilling truth: the lengths they’ll go to maintain control.

A Reminder of 2020’s Election Sabotage

The fraudulent election wasn’t just about mail-in ballots—it was a multi-pronged attack on democracy itself. A coalition of shadow organizations plotted everything, from voter manipulation to the January 6 Capitol breach. They weren’t just trying to defeat Trump; they aimed to frame his supporters as enemies of the state.

In 2024, the Deep State pulled out all the stops, thinking they could repeat their 2020 success. But this time, their schemes unraveled.

Their desperation was evident as they employed even more extreme tactics, including:

Mail-In Ballots and Ballot Harvesting 2.0 Swing states were flooded with mail-in ballots, but patriots were watching. Investigations uncovered ballot trafficking on an industrial scale, with operatives coordinating efforts to manipulate results in key districts.

Corruption at the Polling Places Infiltrators were sent to polling stations in battleground states to delay counts and reject valid votes. But whistleblowers exposed their tactics, preventing a repeat of 2020’s debacle.

High-Tech Censorship and Surveillance Big Tech amplified disinformation, silencing Trump supporters and tracking them to neutralize their influence.

Foreign Influence and NGO Operations Foreign governments and international financiers fueled anti-Trump operations, trying to sabotage his campaign through NGOs and globalist propaganda.

A New January 6 Trap The Deep State tried to engineer another January 6-style event by embedding agitators at Trump rallies, but the MAGA movement, now wise to their tactics, exposed them before they could act.

Why Their Plan Failed

Despite their resources, the Deep State underestimated the resolve of the American people. Whistleblowers revealed the same fraud and manipulation tactics used in 2020, providing irrefutable evidence. Poll watchers, citizen journalists, and grassroots organizations worked tirelessly to ensure transparency.

Trump’s legal team countered their tactics with surgical precision, ensuring their attempts to manipulate the vote were quickly neutralized.

The Fallout

The Deep State’s failure in 2024 has exposed their network. Investigations are underway to uncover the full extent of their operations, and key players within federal agencies, NGOs, and activist groups are being held accountable.

What’s Next?

The Deep State may have failed to steal 2024, but they aren’t finished. Their infrastructure remains intact, and they’ll regroup to sabotage Trump’s administration. Leftist groups are already mobilizing for civil unrest, while the media and Big Tech work to delegitimize Trump’s presidency.

The fight isn’t over—it’s just beginning. Patriots must stay vigilant to ensure the Deep State never succeeds again.

The Deep State tried to steal the 2024 election, but this time, they failed. The republic depends on us.

Candace Owens at Blexit: ‘We will Win, Because We Have the Truth and God on Our Side’

Candace Owens and others delivered remarks at the third Blexit — or black exit from the Democrat Party —event on Sunday in Dallas, Texas, where hundreds of people gathered to hear from the conservative speakers.

Hundreds of event attendees wearing MAGA hats and Blexit t-shirts gathered in Dallas, Texas, on the eve of Owens’ birthday to spend the afternoon with the conservative pundit, who first announced Blexit last October as “the black exit from the Democrat Party,” vowing to take her mission of her mission of exodus to cities controlled by Democrat politicians.

The event began with Owens’ Blexit video displaying the mainstream media’s negative portrayal of the black community before displaying Owens’ positive portrayal. “What makes me so sad about the way that I see the media portraying black people,” said Owens, “they made us more pathetic — when I grew up, the black community was loving, there was laughter; family; church; God.”

“I remember black people being strong,” continued Owens, “The pillars of society — my grandfather was such a good man, he has such good morals, and he was a strong man — and now we’re seeing a society that wants to weaken the black man, they want to weaken the church, there’s blatant anti-Christianity bias happening in our media.”

“For me, I wanted Blexit to be a return to — a return to values, to restore the values in the black community, to make us realize that our enemy is not the white man, our enemy is the mainstream media that is convincing us that we are only victims.”

Owens continued by mentioning a second Democrat presidential candidate, Joe Biden, who kicked off his 2020 campaign by promoting the “very fine people” Charlottesville hoax.

“Reminder, Joe Biden, your mentor, best friend, and political ally was Robert Byrd, a literal Klansman,” said Owens, “No thank you, Joe Biden, no thank you. Who else in the clown show on the Left do we have as candidates?”

“Kamala,” answered Tatum, “Do y’all remember when she said, ‘Back in college, I was smoking marijuana and listening to Tupac’? — Tupac didn’t even have an album out when she was in college. Total fraudulence.”

“She could have said, ‘Hey black community, I’m going to talk to you about your issues — I’m going to talk about the plague of gun violence, black on black crime,'” added Owens, “What did she do? She offered marijuana. I mean, really think about what that says. It’s an insult. They don’t even want to have a conversation with us.”

“Who’s another candidate that they have on the Left?” continued Owens, “Bernie Sanders — he’s a pretty wealthy guy, right? He wants us to live the way he won’t live, he flies private everywhere, he advocates for socialism. Well, socialism has already been tried in this country — they tried that via the welfare system in the black community.”

“Do you want to know what that did? That removed the fathers from the home,” said Owens, “In the 1960’s, the single-motherhood rate in the black community was 23 percent, today it is 77 percent, because they used their welfare policies to incentivize father absence — because if you break down the family, everything else falls apart.”

The Blexit event went on for the rest of the afternoon, featuring a lineup of guest speakers, and ending with a video montage of friends and fans wishing Owens a happy birthday.

“It’s been a fight,” said Owens, “but it’s a fight that I feel God has given me the strength and the position to go forth into the fire — we will fight and we will win, because we have the truth.”

“We have God on our side,” added Owens, “and while the Left is being tethered down by hate and envy and greed, we are being brought together with this movement of patriotism, a love for our country, and a love for God.”

This had been Owens’ third Blexit event of 2019, the first having been held in Los Angeles, California, in January, with the second event hosted in governor Ralph Northam’s home state of Virginia last month. The fourth event is expected to be held in Washington, D.C.
