It would shut down the 2nd impeachment travesty and allow a "cooling off period" until the Inauguration. If people were sincere about "healing" or "transition integrity," Congress would go home. There would be nothing to attack on Capitol Hill. When Biden and the Democrats took over, they could do what they wanted.
Anything bad that happens before then is 100 percent the legacy of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and the GOP...because they can stop it very easily by taking a vacation.
My recommendation to Senator McConnell: Adjourn the US Senate on Monday.
Alternatively, President Trump could prorogue Congress using Presidential powers in the US Constitution:
Article 2, Clause 3 also authorizes the president to prorogue Congress if the House and Senate cannot agree on the time of adjournment; no president has ever had to exercise this administrative power.[38][39] In 2020, President Donald Trump threatened to use this clause as a justification to prorogue both houses of Congress in order to make recess appointments during the COVID-19 pandemic, although he does not have the authority to do so unless either the Senate or the House of Representatives were to alter their scheduled adjournment dates.[40][41]

The problem with having a completely unreliable media who were raised in an educational establishment which taught them objective reality doesn’t exist, and reality changes according to what you believe, is that they’re trying very hard to create a narrative: a story.
They’ve been doing this forever, of course, but they used to do it “in the service of the revolution”, knowing it was their duty to lie. Now they don’t see it as a lie, but as “making the world a better place” by inventing reality and replacing reality they don’t like or which might have made them feel better with their crazy stories.
There are three problems with that. The first is, because they don’t believe there is a reality outside the stories they tell themselves, they believe that once they have put the story in place it is true, and they believe in it themselves.
Second, of course their bullshit spinning doesn’t make it reality. It just makes it …. strange and bizarre and incredibly non-functional. Reality is reality. Just because you believe oil is bad and solar can provide all the energy you need, it won’t work like that. Or that the white race is the repository of all evil, and if you kill them you’ll have paradise, none of that is true.
Third they’re really really really bad novelists. They don’t know enough about the world to tell a lie that makes any sense or accounts for any factors. They don’t know how to integrate the narrative. (To be fair, as I told some fledglings last week, it is almost impossible to. Because the real world is very complex, and other people aren’t widgets. I mean, my characters have a mind of their own, but I’m only dealing with ten or so at a time. And only for at most a few years. I assume I’m not telling you all the complexity that is there.) Actually they don’t know a heck of a lot about real life. And they tend to expect people to act according to their “class” or “race” or whatever. As a friend said this morning, we’re living in a strange world where flying the American flag is simultaneously a government sanctioned display and a sign that you’re a white supremacist.
It's official--President Trump is leaving office on January 20th, 2021.
Joe Biden will become the 46th President of the United States, because the US Congress certified him as winner of the disputed 2020 Election--without the consent of the American voting public.
While I'm personally disappointed, I can't say that President Trump had any option left after his running mate, Vice-President Mike Pence, sided with Biden.
My opinion, as expressed previously in other blog posts, is that this deal between Democrats and Republicans was made long before the 2020 election, based upon Nancy Pelosi's July 2020 statement to Mika Brzezinski on MSNBC:
That's the smoking gun that the fix was in. The GOP was against him. The Democrats were against him. The "Deep State" was against him. The Media was against him.
Only the American People were for him. Apparently, that wasn't enough.
So now we're stuck with an unelected President for the second time in my lifetime. Last time it happened, he was a Republican--Gerald Ford.
Now he's a Democrat--Joe Biden.
As this election once again demonstrated, the will of the American People seems not to be determinative in American politics.
The first President I can remember, John F. Kennedy, was assassinated.
The second, Lyndon Baines Johnson, was forced from office a few years after winning a landslide election. He was brought down by fellow Democrats, including Senator William J. Fulbright.
The third, Richard Nixon, resigned--also after a landslide victory--after impeachment was threatened. He was brought down by fellow Republicans, including Senator Howard Baker.
Then came Gerald Ford, my first unelected President, selected by Congress.
Now I have the second unelected President in my lifetime:
Democrat Joe Biden, selected by Republican Vice President Mike Pence.
Time will tell how this story ends, but I'll bet it isn't going to be pretty...
Already the level of invective and vituperation directed against President Trump and his supporters exceeded anything I have experienced.
Especially now that Nancy Pelosi has threatened a second impeachment.
If he doesn't die in prison, President Trump should count himself a lucky man.
Because they're out to get the ex-President.
Not because he failed--but because he succeeded against all odds.
Given the fact that the entire election was rigged against President Trump, I'd say he did an outstanding job. Here are some reasons:
1. He won the popular vote.
2. He won the Electoral College vote.
3. He won by a landslide.
4. The other side had to lie, cheat, and steal in order to defeat him.
5. Then they had to cover up what happened.
6. Now they have to threaten, oppress and persecute Trump supporters to keep anyone from talking about it.
7. Most importantly, Trump won despite a Coronavirus pandemic which disrupted the lives of most Americans in a way not seen since the Energy Crisis of the 1970s that defeated President Carter.
Usually bad times hurt an incumbent President--but this time Americans gave President Trump millions of votes he didn't have in 2016, because they saw he was trying his best to help them while his opponents were trying to exploit the situation to their own advantage.
And Trump did it with completely negative media coverage, opposition from government bureaucrats, Wall Street, Fortune 500 executives, charities, churches, schools, colleges and universities, former Defense Secretaries, and pretty much everyone else of consequence in the American Establishment.
8. Finally, even after his loss seemed permanent, hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of his supporters schlepped to Washington to show support at his final White House rally...which included a "peaceful protest" against election fraud at the US Capitol.
One Trump supporter, Ashli Babbitt, made the ultimate sacrifice when a trigger-happy Capitol policeman shot the unarmed protester through a glass window.
In the end, Trump's supporters demonstrated they were willing to lay down their lives to save American Democracy.
Yet when VP Pence turned down his opportunity to appoint a commission to audit the votes, as Senator Ted Cruz proposed, or to return contested slates of electors to state legislatures to resolve allegations of fraud, as others had asked, the Vice-President instead decided to recognize Joe Biden's slate of electors--siding against his running-mate...and himself.
Bottom line: Congress said "F-you" to the American voting public, and the Republican Party gave an equally big "F-you" to Trump voters.
The GOP added insult to injury subsequently, when a parade of Republican Trump appointees resigned in a shower of withering denunciations and abuse hurled at their former boss.
What does this mean?
In my opinion, as a result of President Trump's failure to overturn manifest election fraud, the United States is now a de facto one-party state.
It means President Trump will be unable to protect himself or his supporters against future harassment and persecution, up to and including criminal prosecution and imprisonment.
There have been calls for blacklisting, "cleansing," and ejecting from public office anyone who supported Trump, in addition to calls for banning them from social media, from some of the most prominent public figures in the land, including former First Lady Michelle Obama.
It is an ominous development in what was once the freest society on earth.
Such "nonperson" status is well known to anyone who has lived under or studied Communism.
Watching President Trump address the massive gathering in DC today, I kept thinking back to my days at the university when I read Edmund Wilson's, To The Finland Station. The edition I owned had a dramatic cover drawing depicting Lenin addressing adoring throngs gathered to receive him at Petrograd's famous train station upon his return to Russia in April 1917, after nearly 17 years in exile. That image has stayed with me over the years as a classic example of the melding of theater and politics. As noted, it came back to me watching Trump in DC. I don't want to push the analogy too far, but the subsequent televised images of a portion of the crowd besieging the Capitol and other government buildings conjured up in my mind the attack on the Winter Palace, the storming of the Bastille, Yeltsin on his tank before the Russian parliament building, the German Spartacist uprising of 1918-19, the . . . oh, well, you get it.

The current wave of vitriolic demonstrations of intolerance we are seeing in the U.S. is an old tool of the Marxist philosophy used by all of the left-wing regimes of history.
In Castro's Cuba the tool was used so frequently it had a name: “Act of Repudiation.”
The decades of Marxist indoctrination being delivered by academia, media, social media and Hollywood set the stage. It’s being executed by their “brown shirts” peons under the guise of “peaceful” demonstrators destroying, burning, looting, beating and intimidating the American population.
For those who have not connected the dots yet due to so much misinformation and propaganda from the mainstream media, I want to clarify: Marxism is the root of totalitarian Communism.
Hitler’s Nazi National Socialist Party classified as Fascist, came from Marxism as well as Socialism, collectivism and progressivism. It’s all the ruse of using benign sounding words to hide from and mislead uninformed people: The goal of a totalitarian society.
The spread of Marxism in the U.S. has transformed "liberalism" to the antithesis of liberty, and use the Democrat Party to install a foreign ideology opposite to the foundation of the U.S. and the Constitution.
For decades now, many Democrat members of Congress are members of the Democratic Socialists of America. This is an international front organization under the tutelage of and paid for by the former Soviet Union. And now it is part of the global international communist network.
Communist Russia has been interfering in U.S. affairs through the Communist Party USA for decades. And China--who managed to infiltrate America politicians, institutions and corporations!
Although well-aware, members of the Democrat and the Republican Parties have been complicit and silent about it as has the mainstream media and even supposedly critical pundits. They have been looking the other way while America is being invaded and corrupted. Apparently they think their positions and power will be more secure under a “fundamentally transformed” United States.
The Democrat Party has descended so far to the left and has become so intolerant, fanatic, prone to violence and fraud that for quite a number of years I call them “DemonRats.”
Obviously it is no longer an American party and they don't protect and defend the security of the “We the people.” They have become an enemy of the American people and their freedoms.
The control of our academic world by Marxist professors is invalid in a democratic republic. They are reprogramming new generations of Americans. The end result are millennials who are so ignorant and dependent on their political commissaries that they are clueless where Socialism will take them.
All Marxist derivatives lead directly to an all-powerful government where a ruling elite and bureaucracy dictate all aspects of our private and public lives. It’s against the fiber of the creation of America.
Their goal is a global government with a mighty ruling elite at the top and everyone else--workers--at the bottom.
The corrupt, deceptive and censoring mainstream media and social media desperately spew “fake news” hatred toward Donald Trump 24-7 because he is the only roadblock left to their pursuit of their globalist goals.
The hatred directed at him is harsh and false but fits nicely under their tenet of “the end justifies the means.” They have been promoting these Acts of Repudiation since the Obama regime in public and private places to intimidate and silence Americans without any concern for private property and economic destruction.
These Acts of Repudiation are a communist/fascist technique used the former Soviet Union, their satellites and Hitler's National Socialist Nazi Party. They are designed to terrorize and neutralize anybody who stands in their way.
Take a look at the documentary Act of Repudiation. It is the story of an 11-day attack at the home of a classical guitarist, his wife and three young daughters. If this intolerant, hysterical and violent atmosphere to intimidate and censorship continues in America we are all in for a rude awakening and will find ourselves in the hellhole of global Socialism and that will be final.
The Democrat Party and its political operatives, with the unwitting aid of “useful idiots” from the Republican Party, stole the presidential election from Donald J. Trump.
The Democrat Party used a two-pronged Grand “Stuff the Ballot Box” Strategy to flood six key battleground states – Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin – with enough illegal absentee and mail-in ballots to turn a decisive Trump victory into a narrow and illegitimate Biden alleged “win.”
Prong One dramatically INCREASED the amount of absentee and mail-in ballots in the battleground states. Prong Two dramatically DECREASED the level of scrutiny of such ballots – effectively taking the election “cops” off the beat. This pincer movement resulted in a FLOOD of illegal ballots into the battleground states more than sufficient to tip the scales from a decisive legal win by President Trump to a narrow and illegitimate alleged “victory” by Joe Biden.
The Democrat Party relied primarily on legal means such as legislative and rule changes at the state level to implement its Grand Strategy and thereby achieve its illegal outcome. However, at times, political operatives advancing the Democrat Party’s Grand Strategy also bent, and sometimes broke, the laws and rules of that which is most sacred to our American public – our election system.
Key methods used by the Democrat Party to strategically game America’s presidential election included changes in the law approved by State Legislatures; rule changes and new guidance initiated by Secretaries of State or other election officials; court rulings and interventions; and the aggressive use of so-called “public-private partnerships” to commandeer and manipulate the election process in key Democrat strongholds such as Wayne County, Michigan and Dane County, Wisconsin.
Prong One of the Democrat Party’s Grand Strategy used seven basic gambits to dramatically INCREASE the flood of absentee and mail-in ballots: relaxing mail-in and absentee ballot rules; sending absentee or mail-in ballots or applications for such ballots to every voter (universal mailing); increasing both the legal and illegal use of drop boxes; ballot harvesting; and the use of corrupted voting machines.
Prong Two of the Democrat Party’s Grand Strategy used five additional gambits to dramatically DECREASE the level of scrutiny of the new flood of absentee and mail-in ballots into the battleground states: relaxation of ID verification; reduced signature matching requirements; illegally counting naked ballots to increase ballot curing – both legal and illegal; and reduced poll watching and observing.
Democrat Party operatives frequently hid behind the shield of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus and resultant pandemic to further their goals of boosting the absentee and mail-in ballot counts in the key battleground states.
The practical result of the Democrat Party’s two-pronged Grand “Stuff the Ballot Box” Strategy was to flood the six key battleground states with enough illegal absentee and mail-in ballots to turn a decisive Trump victory into a narrow alleged Biden “victory.” Key political operatives assisting the Democrat Party included Wall Street oligarch George Soros, Silicon Valley oligarch and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and Marc Elias, former Hillary Clinton Campaign General Counsel and one of the alleged architects and financial conduits for Fusion GPS and the Russia Hoax designed to topple a duly-elected President.
Soros money helped fund efforts to change election laws and rules through instruments such as referenda. Soros and his network of organizations such as the political action committee “Secretary of State Project” also helped to elect puppet Secretaries of State in Michigan (Jocelyn Benson) and Pennsylvania (Kathy Boockvar) who would play instrumental roles in bending or breaking election rules and thereby advancing the Grand “Stuff the Ballot Box” Strategy. Zuckerberg money – nearly half a billion dollars – helped engineer what was effectively a hostile Democrat Party “public- private partnership” takeover of what should otherwise be a nonpartisan election process in key Democrat strongholds such as Wayne County, Michigan and Dane County, Wisconsin.
Useful idiots for the Democrat Party included Georgia’s Republican Governor Brian Kemp and Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger who entered into a Consent Decree that dramatically INCREASED the number of absentee and mail-in ballots while dramatically DECREASING the rejection rate of such ballots. Republican state legislators who voted for the bills that would help the Democrats advance its Grand Strategy likewise were unwitting dupes.
By implementing its Grand “Stuff the Ballot Box” Strategy, the Democrat Party and its political operatives have strategically gamed one of the most sacred elements of American democracy, our election system. This was brass knuckle politics played at the highest level which has delivered a brutal punch to the nose of the American people and a vicious kick to the groin of American democracy.
That the Democrat Party and its operatives have, up to this point, gotten away with their Immaculate Deception and Art of the Steal, represents a signal failure of the media, Republican state legislators, other Republican government officials across the battleground states, the US Congress, and our judicial branch of government at both the state and federal levels.
Volumes 1 and 2 of the Navarro Report – The Immaculate Deception and The Art of the Steal – together make the strong case for a full investigation of the election irregularities and strategic gaming of our political process that in all likelihood have led to a stolen presidential election. Any such investigation must begin immediately as this nation simply cannot risk the inauguration of a president who will be perceived by a large segment of the American people as illegitimate.
...what I have found to date gives me no choice but to conclude that in the 2020 election, there wasmajor and organizedvote fraud and that it probably stole the election.
Those who simply assume the legitimacy of Biden’s victory are willfully ignoring too many paradoxes and strange but convenient coincidences, too many vote analyses, and too much sworn testimony. Some “mainstream” American commentators are grudgingly and belatedly conceding that, yes, well, there is always “some fraud.” But they add that there is nothing unusual about this election. My comment: if, indeed, there is nothing unusual about the election, then election observers from some international body ought to have been called in long ago. I’m afraid that what I have discovered confirms my general view that America keeps sliding into lawlessness.
The possibility that the election was fraudulent is by itself frightening—ominous. Whether or not major fraud actually took place, this year’s election will among millions and millions of Americans who already distrust the established order further undermine faith in its legitimacy. Also, the “winner” that this system produced this year will be perceived as corrupt, frail, and mentally challenged. Biden had to be literally dragged over the finish line. Because the American media have actively concealed who Biden is, it will be a while before the American people as a whole find out. When they do, it is likely to add to the anger over what is already viewed as a stolen election.
Watching President Trump's Georgia Rally last night on Right Side Broadcasting Network, I couldn't decide whether I was watching his "Last Hurrah" or a Revival meeting.
At times he looked sad, almost poignant. Perhaps due to GOP perfidy, double-cross, and back-stabbing.
It was strange that Senator David Purdue wasn't on the platform with him--what kind of Republican abandons his President in the middle of a fight, to become a no-show for a rally on his behalf on Election Eve? Why couldn't he do what Loeffler did and promise to support the President--even if he later might break his word like Senator John McCain? Not even the pretense of party unity. Ugly.
Likewise, Senators Mike Lee and Lindsay Graham apparently showed up to back Senator Loeffler but not President Trump, so wouldn't stand with him--literally not on the podium. But President Trump pointed to them and said he wasn't happy with Sen. Lee. Again, they could have stood with Trump for one night--for the sake of their party in Georgia...but they didn't.
Yet President Trump gave it all he had on behalf of Loeffler and Purdue and the GOP. And Sen. Loeffler stood with Trump. As did Cong. Marjorie Taylor Greene. They obviously didn't have a problem.
So it was strange. Here was a man being sabotaged by his own party--which was hurting its own chances in Georgia facing two Looney Left if not actually Communist candidates for US Senate.
Does the GOP hate President Trump more than it loves America? What kind of suicidal behavior is that?
Nevertheless, at the same time as I thought this could be the end of President Trump, the thought occurred to me that it might be his salvation.
Why? Because he was showing that he was a man of character, in my opinion of greatness.
While his party was doing the wrong thing--especially the GOP Governor and Secretary of State in Georgia--President Trump was doing the right thing.
Everyone could see it, like Jimmy Stewart standing in the well of his Senate giving his filibuster speech in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.
All alone, surrounded by evil Senators determined to destroy him, Jimmy Stewart just kept going until he collapsed--and it was enough for him to win.
I don't know whether President Trump will win the support of the US Congress on January 6th--but I do know that he won the hearts of those who saw him speak last night in Georgia.
Like George Washington's steadfast perseverance in the face of impossible odds during the American Revolution, President Trump's stalwart performance in Georgia last night clearly established him as "first in the hearts of his countrymen."
And made obvious that those who oppose him are a gang of bums working for crooks.
The disgraceful Washington Post op-ed is intended to short circuit Congressional oversight of American elections found in the US Constitution.
It is signed by a cabal of Never-Trumpers responsible for the defeat of the United States in multiple conflicts since World War II and/or transfer of military technology to China. A "Hall of Shame."
They are Dick Cheney (lost Vietnam War), James Mattis (lost Iraq and Afghanistan), Mark Esper (fired), Leon Panetta (allowed Bin Laden to live to perpetrate 9/11 attacks), Donald Rumsfeld (allowed 9/11 attacks, lost Iraq and Afghanistan wars), William Cohen (allowed US military technology transfer to China), Chuck Hagel (forced out), Robert Gates (lost Iraq and Afghanistan Wars), William Perry (allowed US missile technology transfers to China) and Ashton Carter (a "mystery man" to this author).
Further, it encourages insubordination and sedition against the current Commander-in-Chief on behalf of a man who is proven to be in the pay of foreign governments.
A sad commentary on the complete corruption and collapse of our defense establishment.
