Mexican NGO Urges Illegals to Vote for Biden

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Election fraud concept. Electoral fraud and corruption. Word cloud sign.

No dirty trick is off the table for this year’s elections.

Has it ever been doubted by anyone in his right mind that the whole reason for erasing our country’s southern border is to attract millions of illegal aliens and get them voting for Democrats?

Now we have a Mexican NGO (“non-governmental organization”: not the most honest definition), Resource Center Matamoros, pinning up and handing out flyers urging illegals to get into the U.S. and vote for “President” Joe Biden–the crook who keeps the border open for them (https://www.dailysignal.com/2024/04/15/group-in-mexico-displays-flyers-urging-illegal-aliens-to-vote-for-biden/).

There’s some scuttlebutt to the effect that the story is a hoax; but if it is, who wouldn’t believe it? It’s totally believable. In fact, it’s exactly what you’d expect to happen. Of course they are encouraging people to enter the country illegally! The Democrat Party wants to make use of them.

It’s against the law for them, as non-citizens, to vote in a U.S. federal election. Honk if you think that law will be enforced or obeyed.

Arson at Bernie Sanders’ Office

Note: The suspect has been arrested since this video aired.

Our politics is getting pretty sticky, don’t you think? Reminiscent of the death throes of the Roman Republic, as described by Plutarch.

Usually it’s a GOP candidate’s office that gets torched, but this time it was Far Left Bernie Sanders’ turn (https://abcnews.go.com/amp/US/suspect-fire-sen-bernie-sanders-vermont-office-hit/story?id=108963922). Some kook from California set fire to Sanders’ office in Burlington, VT: they’ve got him on video spraying lighter fluid around the building and setting it on fire. Police have him in custody, but so far there’s no information as to his motive.

Think of it: the guy crossed the whole North American continent to do this. It must’ve been a pretty strong motive. Well, at least to him.

Meanwhile in New Jersey, a man with Trump and MAGA stickers on his vehicle was attacked by someone with a sledge hammer. “Detained” by witnesses, police arrested the attacker and charged him with attempted murder. (https://www.app.com/story/news/local/red-bank-middletown-area/middletown/2024/04/05/edison-man-attacked-with-a-sledgehammer-at-middletown-nj-business/73224283007/). Here police say the motive was personal, not political. We shall see.

Oh–and you’ve seen our (ahem!) president mobilizing the government to have his chief opponent jailed before Election Day.

Not looking good for America, is it?

‘Have We Dodged a Bullet?’ (My Newswithviews Column, March 7)

Roman Symposium | Statue Julius Caesar in Velzeke, Belgium ...

The Romans wrecked their republic. Can we keep ours?

In voting unanimously, 9-0, that individual states can’t remove candidates from the ballot in a national election, the Supreme Court has very likely saved us from a very messy situation. We might have been taking the first steps toward the destruction of our Constitutional republic.

Not that Democrats would shed a tear for that!

Have We Dodged a Bullet?

Republics are not invincible. The Romans wrecked theirs, big-time. That history is messy, violent, and ugly.

“We had to destroy the country in order to rule it.”

They don’t say it, but I’m convinced they believe it.

‘Is It Still “Our” Government?’ (Newswithviews, Aug. 31)

Next year’s elections may well be our last chance to save our republic.

And in between now and next Election Day, look for Democrats to plug in another Pandemic.

Is It Still ‘Our’ Government?

Lockdowns! Masks! Social Distancing! Shortages! And the jewel in the crown, that mail-in voting! This was the formula that got SloJo into the White House.

Can a country of 333 million people be so easily captured and enslaved? Have they roped us into conniving at our own ruin?

We will know by New Year’s Day, 2025. And by then it’ll be too late.

Stop. Them. Now.

Duel or No Duel

Pistols at dawn: why there's more to duelling than what's seen on our screens

Probably you don’t need me to comment on this week’s dominant current event, the “indictment” of President Donald Trump. But I feel compelled to say that this is very much a case of “do or die”–not just for the Republican Party, but for our future as a constitutional republic.

Democrats have upped the ante. “Run against us, will you? We’ll lock you up!” And that’s that–republic’s over.

I know it goes against the grain, and challenges their inborn cowardice and hypocrisy–but Republicans really must respond with vigor to this outrageous perversion of our whole political tradition.

What they need to do is drum up a case against a nationally prominent Democrat–Pelosi, Schumer, Kerry, Elizabeth Warren: no small fry, it has to be a big name–and throw the book at him or her. “Do you want to play this game? All right, we’ll play! Or you can drop your persecution of our guy, and we’ll drop our case against yours.”

Yes, this risks escalating the conflict. Well, maybe it’s time to escalate it. We’ve let it go for way too long.  History is heaped high with the carcasses of republics whose citizens waited for too long to protect their liberties.

Facebook Spies for the FBI: ‘Private Conversations Red-Flagged’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

*Sigh*  I didn’t really want to cover this kind of nooze today. There’s so much of it.

They’re at it again.

The New York Post has reported that “somebody at Facebook red-flagged these supposed  [“supposed” by the unknowing victims] private conversations over the past 19 months” (https://nypost.com/2022/09/14/facebook-spied-on-private-messages-of-americans-who-questioned-2020-election/). Facebook then forwarded those private messages to the FBI.

Facebook denies it, but a confidential source reveals “someone” was helping the FBI look for “subversive” material posted by alleged “domestic terrorists”–that is, anyone who questions the 2020 election (which would be most of us!)… and as hard as they looked, they didn’t find or capture any “terrorists.” But then they were only investigating “right-wing” Facebook posters. They somehow never got around to investigating Antifa.

Hmm… We don’t hear much about Antifa anymore, do we? Did they just pack it in, or is the Democrat Party protecting them from scrutiny? Honk if you find this a really hard question to answer.

We used to lose our freedom in barely noticeable dribs and drabs. Now we’re losing it in big, juicy chunks.

Time’s running out.

Now They’re Doing It To All Of Us

This is getting bad, real bad. The Tucker Carlson video has been pulled from YouTube, and when you try to view it here, where I posted it this morning, all you get is a video of babbling Biden. I went back to YouTube, but now the Carlson broadcast isn’t there.

You can still (as of a minute or two ago!) view it on Citizens Free Press: I recommend going there directly, before they lose it, too.

Tucker Carlson obtains copy of DOJ subpoena…

Meanwhile, I’m having all sorts of problems answering your comments. Due to another WordPress glitch, I can’t read them and reply to them as I normally do on this site. The normal procedure doesn’t work. Wish me godspeed, trying something else!

I don’t know how long WordPress will be crippled. The point is, someone made that Tucker Carlson video go away. And what next? Do I get my door smashed in by the FBI in the middle of the night? They’re not just going after big fish anymore.

Here in the good old USA, we have never been closer to losing our freedom than we are now.

 

Democrats’ Revenge

FBI 'raided' Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, former president says - Los Angeles Times

Here come the goons, here come the goons!

New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin is upset by the FBI goon squad’s raid on Mar-a-Lago (https://nypost.com/2022/08/13/ag-merrick-garlands-raid-of-trumps-mar-a-lago-is-a-farce-of-law/). I also heard him denouncing it on the radio. What’s going to happen to our country, he wonders, if we set a pattern of each new president using the apparatus of government to take revenge on the competing party? Crikey–it sounds like an episode of The Godfather.

Silly rabbit! Democrats don’t care! They don’t care if they tear down the country, as long as they’re in charge of whatever’s left of it.

Plutarch described the waning days of Rome’s republic. Every faction had its own goon squad, armed bands looking for victims on the streets: it wasn’t safe for anyone to venture outside to vote. It’s not a pretty picture. And that’s how they lost their republic.

Ooh! You voted for the candidate who lost! The next knock on your door will be the FBI. Honk if you want to live that way.

 

This Book Has Got Me Cranking!

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

The Dumbest Generation by Mark Bauerlein: 9781585427123 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books

I spend hours every week studying the follies and deficiencies of our public education system, the costliest ever created in recorded history. I know it’s awful.

But just one chapter into this book–The Dumbest Generation, by Mark Bauerlein–had me shaking my head and muttering to myself.

It’s far worse than I thought.

Bauerlein, a college English professor, realizes something I realized years ago. The single worst thing about public school is, it makes your age-group peers the most important people in your life. That in itself was one of the worst ideas ever. But now, says Bauerlein, social media and a plethora of electronic gizmos have made an atrocious situation horrifyingly worse.

Kids and teens now live in the moment, cut off from the past, never pondering the future, unable to look any farther than their own little social media bubbles–obsessed with what other kids are doing, saying, playing… And they know… nothing.

All those boxcar-loads of money spent on “education,” and they come out of college knowing bloody nothing. They’re fixated on their peers in the social media. They never look beyond it. No history, no civics, no literature, no nothing. Maybe they’ll read a comic book now and then. And watch TV.

The author bases these claims on the results of many authoritative studies involving hundreds of thousands of school and college students.

What’s to worry?

Well, they can all vote, can’t they? And they’re always ready to Protest For Social Justice. Because it’s expected of them. Because their peers do it.

It is literally the march of ignorance.

I’m going to review this book for Chalcedon, so I have to read the rest of it. And I think I’d better pray harder! We are talking about creating a country full of conformist know-nothings who will not be able to sustain a constitutional republic. I’m a political scientist, I know these things, trust me: you can’t have a republic of idiots.

Feminism: R.I.P.

Don’t they know the women should be topless?

So they had an ordinance in Ocean City, MD, saying women can’t saunter around topless on the public beach. The operative word is “had,” past tense: because they don’t have it anymore (https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/may/8/ocean-citys-bare-chested-women-tops-off-a-ridiculo/).

This is how things get done in America, which used to be a republic but I don’t know what it is now. Whiny minority complains, finds a friendly Democrat judge, and gets whatever it wants, no matter how unjust or unreasonable. The Democrat judge in this case, explaining why he thought it necessary for women to expose their breasts in public, said, “We’re not in the same Neanderthal-type environment” anymore. ‘Cause it’s, like, so caveman to not flaunt your breasts in public–!

The other way things get done in America is for some Democrat governor to issue a Mandate. Then the little signs pop up all over, “By order of the governor!” Just like Occupied France, circa 1942. But that’s a topic for another post.

Prediction! How many nanoseconds will it take for some of these topless women to complain they’re being viewed as sex objects? The ordinance was upheld by a federal judge in 2020, but successfully appealed on the grounds of “sexist ideologies” thwarting self-expression. Honk if you’re buying that.

Feminism, you’ve run out of gas and there’s a hole in your tank.
