20 (or So) Obvious Questions about January 6 - American Thinker

Even before Donald Trump ascends to the presidency on January 20, his appointees should ask themselves the questions that follow — all of them simple and straightforward.  -  Jack Cashill 

With Christopher Wray stepping down from the FBI directorship, they will have a much better chance of getting straight answers quickly.
Trump’s team should then share those answers widely...

• Although now the FBI admits to having 26 confidential human sources in the crowd on January 6, how many total “assets” did the FBI and other entities plant, and what roles did they play?
• For what entity was Ray Epps working and under what terms?
• Who planted the pipe bombs outside the DNC and near the RNC headquarters?r-the-counter pepper spray?
• Has there been an official inquiry into the subsequent suicide deaths of four USCP officers, and if not, why has the DOJ routinely blamed the J6ers for causing those deaths?
• Why was there no crime scene investigation in the likely homicide of Rosanne Boyland?...

Yes. They distorted the word "insurrection" specifically to keep the people's choice from becoming President!-----Congress does not have to accept Trump's electoral votes

Congress has the power to block Trump from taking office, but lawmakers must act now 

The Constitution provides that an oath-breaking insurrectionist is ineligible to be president. 

This is the plain wording of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. 

“No person shall … hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath … to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.” 

This disability can be removed by a two-thirds vote in each House.
Disqualification is based on insurrection against the Constitution and not the government. 

• The evidence of Donald Trump’s engaging in such insurrection is overwhelming. 

The matter has been decided in three separate forums, two of which were fully contested with the active participation of Trump’s counsel...

Merry Christmas, Tony: Fauci Loses Wildly Over-Priced Taxpayer-Funded Security for New Year

Merry Christmas, Tony: Fauci Loses Wildly Over-Priced Taxpayer-Funded Security for New Year: 

The former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases indeed had a massive federally funded security detail, costing the taxpayers $15 million between January 2023 and September 2024 alone, according to a federal memo obtained by Open The Books. Now that the government funding has expired, Fauci appears to have shelled out for his own security services.

You, the beneficiaries of electricity and heat, will pay the price!-----New York to Force Oil, Gas Companies to Pay Reparations for 'Climate Change' Damage

Large fossil fuel companies will now have to hand over punitive reparations to help New York fight the effects of “climate change” under a bill signed Thursday by Gov. Kathy Hochul (D). - Simon Kent

• “The Climate Change Superfund Act is now law, and New York has fired a shot that will be heard round the world: the companies most responsible for the climate crisis will be held accountable,” said state Sen. Liz Krueger, a Democrat who sponsored the bill.
• “The planet’s largest climate polluters bear a unique responsibility for creating the climate crisis, and they must pay their fair share to help regular New Yorkers deal with the consequences,” Krueger further warned...

'It's ridiculous': Trump border czar has plan for 'super' sanctuary county wanting to shield its criminal migrants from feds * WorldNetDaily * by Jason Hopkins, Daily Caller News Foundation

'It's ridiculous': Trump border czar has plan for 'super' sanctuary county wanting to shield its criminal migrants from feds * WorldNetDaily * by Jason Hopkins, Daily Caller News Foundation: 

Tom Homan, the incoming border czar for the Trump administration, has a plan to deal with a major jurisdiction that recently doubled down on a statewide sanctuary law. Earlier in December, the Democrat-controlled San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted to expand on a California sanctuary policy that already limits local law enforcement's ability to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The county-wide ordinance now prohibits law enforcement from notifying ICE agents, even in cases when a foreign national has committed severe crimes such as as rape, child abuse, burglary, gang violence or other heinous acts.

State suicide!

 

Government authorized $65B to expand broadband. 3 years later, not a SINGLE person has been connected. Here’s why government fails, again and again, to build things

Why Government Can’t Build Broadband or Charging Stations…Or Anything! - John Stossel@JohnStossel
Why Government Can’t Build Broadband or Charging Stations…Or Anything!
The gov't promised to expand broadband, build hundreds of thousands of EV chargers, and semiconductor jobs.

• They delivered delays, waste, and failure. 
• Why? 
• Because they spend your money, not their own.

All are true!

 

"Lower insurance rates"??-----Democrats failure to pass driver’s licenses for undocumented immigrants leaves advocates devastated

Advocates are left frustrated after state Democratic lawmakers' failure to pass that legislation in their final days of total control. - Michael Kransz | mkransz@mlive.com 

That effort failed again despite the Democratic trifecta of state government control.

“We’re devastated,” said Yvonne Navarrete, policy director at We the People Michigan. “There’s just been years of efforts from undocumented organizers and from our nonprofit coalition, and for all of that effort to not come to fruition in the final moments due to lack of leadership and lack of organization amongst the Democratic Party, it’s disappointing.”...

Proponents have said the measure would 

• lower insurance rates, 
• ensure those behind the wheel are qualified and 
• allow all Michigan residents to drive to their jobs, take their kids to school, get groceries and complete other life necessities without fear of deportation or jail time.

Bill Gates goes full totalitarian: Insists AI could censor 'threats' from 'vaccine hesitancy' * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

Bill Gates goes full totalitarian: Insists AI could censor 'threats' from 'vaccine hesitancy' * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

Bill Gates often has expressed extremism in supporting his agenda that appears to include massive levels of one-world government, such as the submitting to World Health Organization agendas, and mandatory vaccines for people whether they help or not. Now he's stepped further into the morass. He is suggesting artificial intelligence, or AI, censor people who are "inciting violence" by expressing doubt about vaccines. The fact that vaccines not always are beneficial is no longer a question mark, given the tens of thousands of people injured by the side effects, which include death, of the COVID-19 shots that were mandated during the pandemic.

The Left's Latest Villain - by Peter Venetoklis

As I ponder how Elon Musk rapidly morphed from a darling of the Left to a Bond villain in their eyes, it became obvious that several of Alinsky's aphorisms explained it all. - Peter Venetoklis 

Half a century ago, community agitator Saul Alinsky penned his now infamous book Rules For Radicals...
1. Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have...
5. Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule..

As I ponder how Elon Musk rapidly morphed from a darling of the Left (and in particular the Green caucus) to a Bond villain in their eyes, it became obvious that several of Alinsky's aphorisms explained it all.

• Start with Rule 1. Twitter, at the height of its political influence, was dominated by perhaps 2% of the American population. By the numbers, at that time about 10% of Americans had a Twitter accounts and 80% of political Tweets (or was it all Tweets?) came from 20% of users. Despite that population being a tiny fraction of the public, politicians, policy makers, and Corporate America cowered in fear of the Twitter mob's Eye of Sauron looking their way. Cancel culture scared the bejeezus out of the most powerful people in our society, no matter how small a minority the cancelers were. Thus, "power the enemy thinks you have."
• This segues into Rule 5. Ridicule, especially when inflected with hate, was the Twitter mob's weapon of choice...

'Pardons for me, no justice for thee': Biden vetoes bill that would have let Trump nominate much-needed judges | Blaze Media

'Pardons for me, no justice for thee': Biden vetoes bill that would have let Trump nominate much-needed judges | Blaze Media: 

President Joe Biden appears keen to maximize consequential, controversial, and costly decisions in his final days as president.

Following President-elect Donald Trump's landslide victory last month, Biden and his administration undermined the Republican's goal of peace in Ukraine and risked turning America's proxy war with Russia into a direct nuclear conflict with the authorization of use of long-range American missiles; took steps to "Trump-proof" the federal bureaucracy; gave his felonious son Hunter Biden an "unconditional" blanket pardon and commuted the sentences of child-killers, grifters, and other loathsome convicts; rushed through DEI-satisfying judges; and set high-reaching greenhouse gas emission targets.

Par for the course, Biden — set to end his presidency with a record-low approval rating — vetoed a bipartisan bill on Monday that would have created 66 new judicial seats in the coming years in understaffed federal courts across the country.

C3: Hydrogen Hype: Unpacking the Challenges and Risks of a Controversial Energy Alternative

Does hydrogen really deserve all the hype as the next best green energy source or is it just another green-unicorn to dupe the masses? 

The concerns about Green Hydrogen: Green hydrogen, often touted as a clean energy source, presents significant risks that cannot be overlooked.

• Its propensity to explode when not handled properly raises serious safety concerns. 
• Additionally, its higher combustion temperature can lead to the production of nitrogen dioxide - it is speculated that nitrogen dioxide potentially produces 37-times more warming than CO2.
• This pollutant also has been linked to serious health issues, including childhood asthma, making the promotion of hydrogen as a green alternative questionable...

The truth about Christmas: Debunking the pagan origin myth once and for all | Blaze Media: 

Christmas is a much-beloved holiday, celebrated by billions of people across the globe. In the U.S. alone, the Pew Research Center reports that nearly 96% of the population celebrates Christmas, including eight out of 10 non-Christians like atheists, agnostics, and those who have no faith commitment. However, Christmas is also a uniquely Christian holiday; its core message is about a personal God taking humanity upon himself and stepping into the world to redeem sinful human beings who could never redeem themselves. The Christian message is inescapable.

Global Warming Rope-A-Dope - Walter E. Williams - 2008!

Americans have been rope-a-doped into believing that global warming is going to destroy our planet. 

Scientists who have been skeptical about manmade global warming have been called traitors or handmaidens of big oil. 

• The Washington Post asserted on May 28, 2006 that there were only “a handful of skeptics” of manmade climate fears. Bill Blakemore on Aug. 30, 2006 said, “After extensive searches, ABC News has found no such (scientific) debate on global warming.” 
• U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change Executive Secretary Yvo de Boer said it was “criminally irresponsible” to ignore the urgency of global warming. 
• U.N. special climate envoy Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland on May 10, 2007 declared the climate debate “over” and added “it’s completely immoral, even, to question” the U.N.’s scientific “consensus.” 
• In July 23, 2007, CNN’s Miles O’Brien said, “The scientific debate is over.” Earlier he said that scientific skeptics of manmade catastrophic global warming “are bought and paid for by the fossil fuel industry, usually.”...

'An embarrassment': Trump's incoming border czar Tom Homan sees huge problem with Biden's new deportation numbers * WorldNetDaily * by Jason Hopkins, Daily Caller News Foundation

'An embarrassment': Trump's incoming border czar Tom Homan sees huge problem with Biden's new deportation numbers * WorldNetDaily * by Jason Hopkins, Daily Caller News Foundation: 

However, Homan argued that the deportation numbers from fiscal year 2024 are largely a result of illegal migrants caught by Border Patrol and simply transferred over to ICE — not removals of illegal migrants caught by ICE agents in the interior of the country.

"Most of those were Border Patrol arrests, just processed by ERO [Enforcement and Removal Operations]. This wasn't really ICE work, this was Border Patrol work," Homan said to the DCNF.

"Interior arrests are way down, this is an embarrassment for them," Homan explained.
