God, I hope the country wakes up in time to see what is being done to them. Every time I watch the Legacy media I’m thinking “don’t piss down my back and tell me it’s raining”

The actual quote is “Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining”, title of book written by Judge Judy.

I like mine better. If someone was pissing on your leg, you could see it and take care of business whereas if someone is pissing down your back, you cannot see them.

You have stated the obvious, but don't forget, as we fight to protect our country, remember that we are in a two front battle. It is with the Dems and the Repukes (rinos). The Repukes as I call them are the worse. They hide in conservatism. Repukes are more dangerous than Dems, they are deceptive and liars. As a great man once said, "A weak man is more dangerous, than a strong man". This may come down to a battle in the Spiritual realm.

WOW!!! A whole lot of "defensive projection" in this article! I've cleaned it up for you...

"It’s shameful. Remarkable. Embarrassing. Immoral. And downright un-American how the MAGA Republicans are attempting to commandeer the will of the voters by making it harder to vote, especially for students and minorities. The very people who claim it’s always about democracy and "law and order" are obliterating it. Right before our eyes in plain sight. Unabashed. The right has decided they know what’s best for all American citizens (women, minorities, wage slaves), and by God they’re going to make sure they’re in charge. Gerrymandered districts. Electoral College manipulation. Speaker Johnson stonewalling votes. Union busting. Promoting Putin's talking points. Supreme Court stacking. They don’t trust you and they don’t like America.

Let’s save democracy together. Let’s keep Donald Trump out of office."

Thank you for your talking points, Stephen H. Siemsen. Good to open up debate on these important topics.

1. Gerry-mandred districts: CVRA allows population-based voting districts getting one full representative vote, but in fact have very few actually legal residents nor even a majority of registered voters. These CVRA mandated "pocket boroughs" can easily be picked up by a few highly organized special interest groups today. And they are. How is this an improvement over "gerrymandering"?

2. Nancy Pelosi's staged Capitol Police riot on Jan 6 allowed her to cram down an immediate vote due to this being declared "national emergency", which circumvented the lawful requests by several state to review their state's electoral vote verification process before casting their votes on Jan 6.

Pelosi's "national emergency " declaration circumvented this lawful electoral college process, and immediately installed Biden as President. Then milked Jan 6 beyond all human recognition while suppressing all review and video tapes of the actual sequence of events.

3. Send us the spreadsheet comparing Nancy Pelosi "stone-walling" actions in the House compared to Mike Johnson "stone-walling" actions in the House. Then we can talk.

4. Union-busting. Biden stacking the NLRB with pro-union forces out of normal protocol, and refusing to fill NLRB vacancies along with claiming he is the "most pro-union President in US history" should give every American pause, about the need to eliminate government employee unions at every level of our government.

Government employee union members should not be anywhere near our election processes at all: running the elections. training election volunteers. counting the votes, and adjudicating ballots. SEIU - hands off in the interest of secure and untainted elections.

Right to work states are not "union busting". They are the law. I suspect the entire concept of govenrment employee unions will soon be up for SCOTUS review and found to be inherently unconstitutional.

5. Promoting Putin talking points. Whatever that even means? Other than still trying to milk the thoroughly discredited Democrat party Russia-Russi-Russia hoax.

6. Supreme Court stacking: following constitutional processes is not "stacking". Attacking SCOTUS members and nominees with riots, salacious charges, and making them unsafe in their homes is the Democrat legacy; not the actions of the GOP. Intentionally expanding numbers on the court to obtain a partisan majority, what would be called?

7. Democrats hate us, but love our tax dollars. That does not "bring us together".

"Election reform" was the trojan horse Democrats in this state rode into their current super-majority status. Which in two decades has destroyed this state. What "election reform" will undo these two decades of systematic damage caused by Democrat party driven "election reform"?

Don't let anyone claim you are "suppressing the vote" when you expose the inherent flaws found in every single one of our recent state's " election reform" cons.

One illegal vote, just one cancels out my one legal vote entirely. So whose vote is getting suppressed? Or that one illegal vote can amplify my vote by illegally doubling li, which is equally abhorrent to fair, just and secure elections.

Schulte just doesn’t get it that Trump is a career criminal who the law is finally catching up to.

The real election interference was done by Trump and his fake electors plot to steal the election.

I have faith that the huge margin of victory for Biden in 2020 will be increased exponentially in 2024 .

The Deep State is now populated with weak men (and plenty of very vicious and vengeful women with shades of everything in between) who have amassed (1) huge and invasive unelected powers; and (2) guaranteed funding every April 15 which blindly perpetuates their grip on our daily lives.

Number one task: recognize this force within us, name it, label it and target it.

Number two task: dismantle it.

Number three task: be ready to withstand their howls to the moon in response.

Number four task: Rescind JFK's 1962 Executive Order granting government employees the power to unionize.

From France: The French are scared ( and the rest of Europe,too, I believe). Macron gave an hour and a half rallying cry/campaign speech for EU elections yesterday. He gets what is happening in USA, but can't give credit to Trump for telling Europe to get their defense act together. I have not seen any of the Biden gaffs, utter mismanagement of the country, the embarrassing doings of Biden family (not just Hunter) on TV for the last year. Europe is finally waking up! But to give Trump any credit is kinda like Queen Elizabeth saying, "I have to be seen to be believed". Europeans might think about streaming FOX if they want to see the adolescents running the USA.

What can we do? Fight for Trump!

he's leading the counterinsurgency against the CCP/WEF…[they] have now completed their 40+ year long march through all of our institutions…they have captured all 3 branches of government (at all jurisdictional levels)…this was an insurgency folks, irregular warfare at it finest…

Our backs are against the wall…this is the final battle for Our Nation (and The World)…the good news is that there are good people (US Mil +++) working behind-the-scenes on the counter insurgency…We will win, but very choppy waters lie ahead…

time to prepare yourself & your tribes…if interested, the following clip details Trump's first trip overseas in 2017…he put The World on notice. It's a war so large it's beyond belief (WWIII, our final battle)…best that you begin to expand your mind and thinking in order to prepare for the difficult times ahead…

PS…for the anti-Trumpers that visit this site…honestly answer the following question…if the answer is no, then you live in a banana republic…if the answer is yes, you will soon be awakened by the waves of new disclosures over the coming days, weeks, & months…

? would any of the current onslaught against Trump (lawfare, media barrage attacks, etc) be happening if Trump rode off into the sunset after the 2020 election?

What the left in this country don’t understand- especially the young leftists is they are going to go down with the ship also.

Anyone that votes for Biden is one of the uninformed useful idiots that are being used and don’t even realize it.

Wow, someone quoting a 50 year old movie. But I digress.... I do find it interesting, and ironic, that the author seems to have as much hate towards Dems and Rino's as he's accusing them of hatred for Trump and/or the Country. We're never going to move forward as a country with this level of emotion stewing all around.

Yes. Trump became the MAGA choice because the Republicrat(D) swamp refused to do anything [to stop the Swamp].

Objectively, Mr. Trump is not qualified ... that is, he is not qualified to drain the Swamp because he does not understand the way the Swamp works. Not only was he subjected to unlawful spying, election interference, lawfare, and smear campaigns ... they dropped the Covid plandemic on him ...

... and he just was not prepared.

Nonetheless, he remains the man of the hour. First, because he is the only threat to the Democrats among all national politicians. To be plain ... Trump is the only national politician who intends to resist the Swamp and stop the damage to the American Empire before it's too late.

Trump also has redeemed himself multiple times on multiple fronts. The endless, reckless, expensive, and lawless effort to destroy him ... has revealed a man with few sins and fewer character flaws ... much less any criminal activity.

Few of us could withstand the scrutiny Trump has been under. Yet anyone willing to look at the "evidence" offered against him ... has to conclude the Democrats' efforts are indeed a witch hunt.

As an obscure reference back to Salem ... if the Democrats offered "spectral evidence" against Trump ... it would indeed be more persuasive than the "evidence" they have offered.

Albeit those of you who know may suspect "spectral evidence" has already been offered in the case of the serial sex accuser and well-known loony defamation case ...

Zero tolerance for error is the only standard to apply to every single aspect of our current very sloppy election processes. "Election reform and expanding access to voting" is too leaky to be tolerated for even one more election.

Nor should SEIU member employees be allowed anywhere near our election processes, when they have a direct, immediate and existential conflict of interests in election outcomes - choosing who their next bosses will be, and who gets to write their paychecks off the taxpayer checking account.

Well written and spot on in my humble opinion

Unfortunately the comments , even with all the evidence in the faces, must be a sign of cognitive dissonance. Apparently

Although what you say Henry is accurate, truthful, and real; as reflected in many of the comments, about 50% of the population doesn't agree. I've scratched my head trying to figure out how they are so misled. My only conclusion is that like all of us, they are lost. The difference is, some of us have been found. Excellent article...thanks for your keen insight.

Consider these are members of the 20 million strong government employee work force , that marches to a very different drummer when they chose their political sides.

20 million government employees who don't care if Biden's poor policy decisions causes massive inflation because they get guaranteed COLA, and have need to show no new productivity goals to support this automatic benefit. Tax payers fund it. Not their problem.

We now have a critical mass in this country that marches to a very different drum than many others - they get paid by the taxpayers, regardless of ruinous government policy decisions made in all our names.

This is simple self-interest. Nothing alien about this all. We all put self-interest near the top of our own needs hierarchy. But we should not ignore this level of tax dollar dependency does drive a critical mass of voters today.

Deep state?

With regards to both federal insurrection charges & state election interference charges against Trump, both were at the recommendations of federal & state grand juries.

PS: That's right - the deep state - the unelected fourth branch of government - tyranny by government bureaucrats and partisan exercise of lawful process. . Deflection and word parsings don't cut it. Undermining confidence in the judicial system, with these strings of kangaroo courts and charges is just one more woeful Democrat legacy. But these cases have not yet worked their way through our intentionally multi-tiered legal system, so don't declare any victory laps yet. You have not earned them .

We are the United States; we were never a united state of mind. Since day one - there were basically the strong central government supporters, and the weak central government supporters. Which is where we remain today. Which is also an appropriate tension to retrain.

"Coming together, or bringing us together" is an intentionally deflective pipe dream. (You are a bad person if you do not agree with me, is all I hear when people talk about bringing us together.)

We as a nation can live with this inherent philosophical division, because we are built to have the pendulum between these two spectrums continue to swing. Division is in our national DNA. What we were not built to withstand is this now accumulated and unelected deep state power base, putting a "civil service" stranglehold on we the people.

I see your point but I’m looking at the bigger worldwide picture. The idea of a deep state is not limited to the USA. There’s evidence that most all governments answer to a higher authority whose agenda moves at a very slow pace. It’s their agenda…not for the people.

Look up the recent comments made by a Dutch legislator railing against the now "deep state" of the EU unresponsive mega-government. Freedom is ringing out even in "socialized" countries.

J. Livingston's avatar

Not sure I understand the question, but this Dutch legislator was reacting to the one-size-fits all, top down EU regulations now being promulgated. Not unlike the current and growing distaste for our own federal and state nanny-state micromanaging. Paper-pushing, make work bureaucrats justifying their own existence?

My impression from my own local EU conversations, few have any regard for Brussels nor who they see as professional slackers elected to serve in the EU legislative body. The EU exists on paper and there are some recognized benefits, but apparently the EU does not fully engage the hearts and minds of many now under its creeping mandates.

Wind back the way-back machine to my own college days in the 1960s' when I decided to become history major after hearing a presentation on "The Economic Necessity of the Common Market".

It made so much sense on paper, I was dazzled by the academic arguments. Not knowing at the time, real lesson learned was the zen of waiting for fruition of ideas sounding good on paper; and the laws of unintended consequences when social engineering by "experts" supplants organic evolution.

Much like Edmund Burke analysis of the French Revolution. I lived in Europe for four years. This has long been a captivating topic. And experienced one summer in one the very first cities that experimented with the actual transition from francs to euros - Sarlat ,France.
