January 6 was, at worst, a bunch of goons and wannabes playing “Three Percenter” games. Maybe they were provoked by a Fed, maybe not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Watergate? That was a President and his committee doing something that they knew was wrong enough that they felt the explicit need to cover it up. amind<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Durham report describes something much worse: the active co-option of the institutions of American law enforcement to political ends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
David Strom on the choice this nation, as individuals and as a collective (or collectives) faces<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n But right here, right now anybody who had faith in those liars has a choice: declare your alliance to the truth, or to the lies. Do you care more about America or hate Donald Trump so much that you are willing to give up America? Because defending the abuses of power is a rejection of America itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The choice is stark, but the stakes really are that high. Not because Donald Trump is the only man who can \u201csave America,\u201d because if that were true America would already be lost. Donald Trump is not immortal, nor has he proven capable of fighting the \u201cdeep state.\u201d This is not about Trump, but about who rules America\u2013the people or the Elite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No, the choice is between upholding the rule of law, limits on power, ensuring accountability in government, and preservation of our constitutional order, or just handing raw power to the Left, the Administrative State, and an MSM dedicated to lying to you all the time.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n A smaller but equally corrosive scandal is out there in plain sight; as I’ve been tirelessly pointing out for six and a half years, we don’t have to infer that the media is not just biased, but actively working for the same people the FBI has been busted working for; representatives of our media “elites” said it, proudly, in front of a friendly crowd<\/a>, just after the ’16 election. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Trump’s greatest failure was his inability to drain the swamp. He made a start – but in the context of this week’s news, “getting a start” is a little like “getting halfway across Omaha Beach before calling it a ‘L'”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is going to have to be the next great national crusade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n More on this to come. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" January 6 was, at worst, a bunch of goons and wannabes playing “Three Percenter” games.
