Thirteen Republicans voted with the Democrats on the infrastructure bill. Some of them are people already on their way out, others hope to return in 2023. Those on the way out: who cares? But those who wish to stay should now be forced out. Better to lose their seats altogether than keep them. It must be this way because by voting for this bill they showed they either lack political understanding or have revealed themselves as de-facto Democrats – ie, people who picked the GOP label simply because that was their path to power. In either case, keeping them around works against our interests.
It has been a catastrophically bad six months for the Democrats and it was capped off by blowout losses in the elections this past Tuesday. Things are terrible and getting worse while the Democrats were flailing uselessly in favor of policies that nobody wants. Along comes thirteen Republicans to bail them out. It was an act of treason or idiocy and we must put an end to this sort of thing once for all.
The thing one must understand about Democrats is that, first and last ever since the party was founded, they are absolutely convinced that only with Democrats in power is America a decent place to live. They are certain that the health and safety of the Republic is only assured when they are in power. They do not believe there is a legitimate way for them to be removed from power. When they win, it is the holy expression of the people’s will. When they lose it is the result of a nefarious plot to thwart the will of the people. These days, they don’t even really concede elections. The last Presidential election they gracefully conceded was 1988.
Democrats fight to win all the time. They never give up their goals. If something new comes up, they merely add it to the list and they keep pushing their views no matter how strong the opposition or how many times they fail. Once a goal is announced, they never back down from it. And what was politically impossible ten years ago is now to be proclaimed the common sense, moderate opinion and if you don’t support it you are evil.
Democrats never help the GOP. When was the last time you saw thirteen Democrats join the GOP to pass a bill the GOP didn’t have 218 votes for? For the GOP, it is either have the votes or don’t get the law – for the Democrats, it is one of two things: either they have it and so will do it, or they’ll wait until some GOPers join them. And they always get their GOPers. Oh, sure, they’ll throw a little pork the GOP’s way…Congressman Dipsh** will get that bridge connecting his donor’s land to the Interstate. What does that matter to a Democrat? It not only doesn’t harm them to do it, it helps them – it is more government spending and thus more money flowing through their political base to wind up as donations for the Party. When does the GOP ever get anything for the nation when they don’t have 218 vote? Never.
Those thirteen would have been ok – and, in fact, would have been far more than thirteen – if the GOP – the Party and the people who make up the GOP – had got something. There wasn’t even an effort in that direction. Nancy didn’t have 218 votes. She needed GOP votes. Our best course of action was to let them twist in the wind…and then, when she was really desperate to get something passed, demand our pound of flesh. We could have got funding for the border wall. We could have got money for school choice. At bare minimum we should have got a prohibition against payouts for illegal immigrants who were separated at the border. We got nothing. Meanwhile, in that bill were all sorts of provisions which cement Progressive policy goals and provide a framework for even more Progressive advances in the future. Democrats didn’t get their whole wish-list, but they got some. And they’ll now wait for the next must-pass bill where just enough GOPers will be forthcoming to get it over the top.
We’re very likely to win a Congresional majority next year. What will happen then is that the Senate Democrats will use the filibuster to prevent any bill other than a Continuing Resolution from hitting Biden’s desk. In these CR’s, you can rely on it that Democrats will insert Progressive provisions. If we try to insert things like national CCW or a border wall, they’ll filibuster and wait for the MSM to scare just enough GOPers into going along with stripping out our provisions while keeping their provisions. We’ll be spinning our wheels as badly as we did after 2014.
And then we’ll likely win the White House in 2024. No assurances, but it is a 70/30 chance for us. And, then what? Same thing – nothing gets through the Senate except what the Democrats want. If it doesn’t do lots of things for them, they won’t let it through. They’ll go along with some silly corporate tax break that the GOP touts, but no reform of the FBI, no border security, no encouragement of American manufacturing, no strike back against CRT. All of those will be filibustered and so the GOP won’t even try…and there will always be just enough GOPers to help pass something the Democrats are ok with.
This is why we’re here in 2021 with a senile twit as President and debating pronouns.
It has to end. It must end. The survival of the Republic and our personal liberties requires that it end.
The Republican Party must become a Party of people who are absolutely certain that basic human decency requires the GOP to be in charge and that nothing a Democrat wants done is legitimate. In other words, we must act like we’re Democrats. The phrase “country over party” merely means “Democrats over Republicans.” We need to turn it about – “country over party” must now come to mean “Republicans over Democrats”. They are not legitimate. They have no moral right to govern. If they win, it is because of fraud overt or subtle. Only when we win is it legitimate. Only when we exercise power is it proper.
This is harsh: as harsh as the Democrats have been with us. It is a necessity. Being a free United States requires us to take this stance. No more must the Democrats be able to find GOPers who will help them advance the cause of the Democrat Party. In those rare instances where they wish to do something that actually has to be done, then the measure doing it must be larded up with things we want or it must not happen. Do not be afraid! The Ruling Class – with the MSM shouting – will tell us we are evil and they’ll produce polls showing that we’re doomed if we do it. Do it. We believe, right? We do believe that faith, family and property are the building blocks of a Republic, right? That limited government is the necessity, right? Well, then act like it. Fight for what we want. If we get what we want, everything will be better, right? Of course it will. So, why not fight?
Without GOP backstabbers, we’ll be able to do it. When we can rely on our people to be vigorous and pushing our policies and intransigent in opposing Democrat policies, we know that the sort of policies which will be enacted will favor our cause and, building one victory upon another over time, will restore American greatness. We’ll be free and safe and prosperous. And thus the voters will stick with us, because we’ll be the people who lead them out of the swamp and back into the sunlit uplands of the City Upon a Hill.

Praise Jesus!!
“When they put one of ours in the hospital, we put two of theirs in the morgue” – this was a great line from the “Untouchables” movie and is the mentality we need to WIN. We no longer have any common ground with Democrats and we need to stop pretending that we do. We are no longer debating over tax policy, social welfares systems, etc. We are now debating over tyranny versus freedom and we simply can not lose. The effort to destroy this country started Sept. 11, 2001, and unfortunately many patriotic Americans are just now waking up to that fact, including myself.
I am sure most of us here remember “shovel ready jobs” back in 2009 when Obama passed an $800 billion infrastructure bill to address the nations “roads and bridges”. Remember that?? Well, where did that money go? It went to the same places this new $1.3 trillion dollar package will go to. Donors and friends of the Democrat party and of course to bail out poorly run Democrat cities, hence the reason Chuck U. Shumer was dancing in Puerto Rico this weekend. This is all so transparent that I am shocked more people don’t see it.
We have to be more organized and definitely more aggressive, and I hate to admit it but Amazona was right lol. Years ago, she said that the battle also has to be waged at the local level; the school boards, city councils, etc. and at the time I dismissed that notion but that is exactly where the battle begins. We need to take back our local communities before we take back the nation.
Don’t feel bad about admitting I was right, Cluster. As a matter of fact, you might have to undergo that awful experience again, if you start to realize the desperate need we have for a big prominent TV platform and coherent focused messaging.
We already know that about 15% of Biden voters would not have voted for him if Big Tech and the Agenda Media had not covered for him, regarding the laptop and its associated messages not just about Hunter but about Joe himself. If someone had been able to hack CNN for two weeks before the election, to get out the facts, don’t you think that would have made a difference?
A partial transcript of Pelosi’s recent press briefer:
“The other thing that we’re getting or – we’re sending stuff over to the Senate. Most of the product that we’ve done is – except now we may have added in the last hour or so – and some of what we added is Senate, to the bill, like hearing. Bernie doesn’t like hearing – excuse me – Bernie loves hearing. Manchin doesn’t want hearing in the bill and all that stuff. So, some is Senate-oriented, and then we have the family/medical leave. We figured if they’re putting things in, then we can put something in, even if Manchin doesn’t like it,” the Speaker said.
“So, we are getting some Byrd and privilege. I think mostly we’re getting privilege scrub because privilege scrub is deadly to a bill. Byrd? Well, it’s important. You have to take it out, but a privilege violation can take you out. So, we’re, again, getting that as we go along as well. But when we pass a bill, then they will see it in its aggregate and make some –,” she said.
Hard to believe this non sensical binary brain person has a leadership role in government. No wonder this country is so fucked up.

Sounds like she was reading from one of Joe Biden’s cue cards. Maybe the two of them can sit in their wheelchairs in the nursing home and hold hands while waiting for their pudding.
It says as much about the people who elected her to Congress and the House members who elected her Speaker as it does about her. I’ll bet if you polled the Democrats in her district her approval rating would be in the 60s or 70s.
I expect her district to keep sending her back—the party has a stranglehold on it and it will never change. Denver has a district like that, going from Pat Schroeder to Diana DeGette and basically once the office is filled they might as well not even bother with an election, till the party picks the next in line.
But the House itself is different, and each of those Dem House members is responsible for her having the position she has.
That’s really a sad indictment on the electorate. Ignorance and apathy will kill liberty.
I’ve recently gotten to know a man who seems bright, seems to have basic conservative political philosophies, thinks Trump did a good job—but he voted for Biden. Why? Because he doesn’t “believe in” returning incumbents to office.
I suggested that maybe he shouldn’t even vote at all if his choices are so illogical. After all, it doesn’t make sense to punish someone for doing a good job. (He wouldn’t admit it to me, and I wouldn’t push it, but I do have a feeling that sunk in and might affect his decisions in at least some cases in the future.)
But, back to my constant rant about lack of messaging—-on Planet Amazona there would be a takeover of an established mainline station, like CNN or MSNBC, and its programming would include messaging about the dangers of frivolous decision-making when it comes to choosing among political candidates.
One of the many messages we need to start working on is the danger of trivializing the vote. When it depends on hair styles or speaking styles or petty gossip or some such thing, that is trivializing it and that is a huge danger. It’s about Identity Politics but even worse. In my fantasy world, this would be an ongoing theme—-the trivialization of words like “rape” and “holocaust” and even “insurrection” to apply them where they are not applicable but because they are words that have weight and emotional impact.
So….what are WE going to do about the theme of this thread? I know what I am going to do. I am going to put together a simple statement to the GOP in each state represented by a Republican vote for the “infrastructure” bill, telling that state’s GOP organization that if it finds a decent candidate to primary the Representative who voted for the bill they can contact me and I will contribute $100 to that person’s primary campaign and another $100 to his or her election campaign if he or she wins the primary.
We can’t contact Representatives directly because they only take email from constituents, but we can easily email nearly all the state GOP organizations. It’s easy—-I’ve done it, for dozens of states. You click on the email address of the group that comes up on Google, you paste in your comment and your name and hit “send”.
This is the kind of grassroots campaign that could make a difference. I’m risking $1300 to try to get other candidates to defeat those incumbents in primaries. That is a gamble I am willing to take. But if 25,000 people around the country did the same thing, the GOP organizations would take notice. And so would squishy elected officials.
Or we can just write on blogs and whine about it.
I’m in … but will need instructions lol
You click on the email address of the group that comes up on Google, you paste in your comment and your name and hit “send”.
According to MSNBC this morning, the American dream is now where a single mom can drop her children off at some universal pre k program and go to work for a corporation so she can “live her best life”. And of course, absent any sense of irony, the MSNBC panel was thrilled that many of those women will have darker skin tones.
It’s almost as if they’re celebrating the re-enslavement of black women.
A Dem woman “living her best life” is likely to have killed at least one of her babies before finding one she likes and is willing to keep, and will then turn it over to someone else to care for while she does whatever she feels she has to do to fulfill herself.

This is the funniest headline I have read for a while:
Hall of Fame QB Terry Bradshaw rips Aaron Rodgers for lying about vax status: ‘I’m extremely disappointed’
I wonder if anyone in this country cares if Bradshaw is disappointed?? Does anyone in this country care if Bradshaw even lives through the day?? Other than I guess his family. An expression that I have always lived by is the fact that “people care a lot less about you than you think they do”.
People will always judge you, but they will never have your back. So again, Bradshaw would be really disappointed to learn that no one cares what he thinks, but I am sure he feels better about himself thinking that they do, and that pretty much sums up the progressive mentality. They really do think other people care about them.
Back to the comment about narcissism. That smug sense of not only being right but being superior due to being right is an essential component of the Leftist mind. That’s why they assume they have the right to tell other people how to live their lives, and that’s why they assume other people care about what they say.

Horrified residents of an upscale San Francisco condo building say they’re troubled by the growing amount of homeless people setting up camp just steps away from their home. The Artani complex sits near Willow Street, between Van Ness Avenue and Polk Street, home to the city’s most heavily-concentrated homeless encampment. Local residents say homeless people are stealing, breaking into buildings, and throwing feces
They need to live in the sewer they voted for …. I just hope they know their pronouns

I know polls are often garbage, but this one is funny.
“Nearly half of those surveyed, 46%, say Biden has done a worse job as president than they expected, including 16% of those who voted for him.
One funny thing about this is that other polls have said that anywhere from 15% to more than 25% of those who voted for him would not have done so if Big Tech and the Agenda Media had not hidden essential information about him. Maybe that first 15% is included in the 16% who now say he is doing “a worse job as president than they expected”.
But what the poll really says is that 84% of the people who voted for Biden fully expected him to be as bad as he is. But evidently many in this group also don’t want him to run again—28% of Biden voters who were polled don’t want him back, and that has to include those who don’t think he’s doing a worse job than they expected.
But they don’t want Kamala, either. So who is left on the Dem bench? I think Mayor Pete is out of the running for any elected office now that he has made his priorities known. The Dems are going to have to rent a real clown car for the next Dem primary.
Stephanie Ruhle, MSNBC “But coming up next, right here, a massive infrastructure bill passes over the weekend and yet President Biden’s approval ratings are hitting a new low. So how does the President and Democrats make sure Americans see this as a win?
Oh I don’t know Stephanie. Do you suppose the government has lied about previous spending packages and most Americans are just numb to your bullshit? That’s a possibility.
So how does the President and Democrats make sure Americans see this as a win?
Well, they can go back to the playbook and keep redefining words, so “infrastructure” is defined as “welfare payments to illegal aliens, payoffs to Dem cronies, etc.” Get rid of those silly outdated definitions that mislead people into thinking it is about roads and bridges and buildings, but it is PEOPLE who make up the infrastructure of our country, especially people who can be bribed to vote for Democrats.
That might work. We know it will work with the hardcore base—sane people, not so much.
In the meantime we have some housecleaning to do. 13 states need new Republican congresscritters, Actually, make that 14, as we need to help Harriet Hageman in Wyoming defeat the massive out of state funding of Liz Cheney to help her win her primary race.
In light of Durham’s latest indictment of Danchenko, be prepared for the Democrat media to ramp up the Jan 6 insurrection fear
We do have a three part response, if anyone is organized enough to make it.
1.) Here is a dictionary definition of the word “insurrection”
2.) How many people were armed and with what? Who was charged?
3) How many people actually said anything related to overturning the government? Who and who was charged?
We have videos of anarchists marching in riot-torn cities calling for the destruction of the United States and burning the flag, while attacking federal buildings. Does this mean that everyone who “protested” is guilty of insurrection? Does this mean that Kamala Harris, when she said the “protests” would and should continue, is guilty of insurrection? Does this mean that every media personality who downplayed the violence and refused to report on the true damage is guilty of insurrection?
How many people in a crowd have to share a goal and plan a way to achieve that goal for the entire group to be considered guilty?
Does anyone here remember Arlo Guthrie’s classic “Alice’s Restaurant”? Where he was told to go sit on Bench W, with the rapers and the murderers, and when they asked him what he was in for he said “Littering”.
I thought of this when I thought of people having to admit they have criminal records. For what? “Parading”.
Walk right in, it’s around the back, just a half a mile from the railroad track.
What would we say if a foreign country, for example, Russia, China, Iran, or North Korea, carried out the following actions:
Invaded through the American southern border with two million troops.
Stopped fuel production, ending American self-sufficiency, returning America to dependence on Middle Eastern and other countries that hate America, while facilitating Russian fuel domination in Europe.
Burnt and destroyed the downtown commercial sections of almost all American cities.
Defunded and disbanded the police, while releasing criminals from prison and refusing to incarcerate any criminals, leading to a major spike in violent crime. Then, if that were not sufficient, contrary to science, fire large numbers of unvaccinated police, firefighters, emergency medical workers, and hospital workers with natural immunity, the very people who were celebrated as heroes throughout 2020, but are now regarded as criminals.
Granted illegal aliens $450,000 each of taxpayer money for their suffering in not have been received by an honor guard upon their illegal entry.
Flooded the American economy with vast amounts of counterfeit money printed without anything behind it, leading to galloping inflation, a type of regressive tax punishing the poor and middle class. Then use the fake money to pay people to stay home and out of the workforce, leading to the greatest labor crisis in American history.
Claimed that the foundational documents of America, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are null and void, due to, you know, slavery. These are replaced by a regime in which male and white citizens are to be punished for, you know, slavery, and replaced by females and minorities of color (except for Asian Americans, who have disgraced themselves by being too successful).
Required schools to teach that white children are evil oppressors and children of color are forever victims, and likewise, that male children are brutal and toxic, and females are victims. But, schools will teach that there is a way out for toxic males and female victims by transitioning to trans females and trans males, which the schools facilitate secretly, without informing any parents.
Declared that children now belong to the government, and parents have no say in their education.
Any parents who speak up about their children’s education are “domestic terrorists” and must be persecuted and suppressed by School Boards, the Department of “Justice,” and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Threatened the Supreme Court with either endorsing far-left agendas, or being canceled by court-packing with far-left justices. Declared the Court is no longer co-equal, but subservient to Congress and the Executive branches.
Abandoned American citizens, residents, and allies in giving up American’s strategic position in Afghanistan.

TREASON
Well, if oaths of office were binding and treated as employment contracts, anyone engaging in any of these things could simply be dismissed. If the people behind these atrocities knew their jobs were on the line, they wouldn’t do them. After all, the purpose of a law is to prevent an action by stating its lawlessness and then stating a penalty for violation. A law, or a symbolic commitment like the current toothless oaths of office, are meaningless without a concurrent penalty for violation.
…..the Founding Fathers carefully delineated the crime of treason in Article III of the U.S. Constitution, narrowly defining its elements and setting forth stringent evidentiary requirements.
Under Article III, Section 3, of the Constitution, any person who levies war against the United States or adheres to its enemies by giving them Aid and Comfort has committed treason within the meaning of the Constitution. The term aid and comfort refers to any act that manifests a betrayal of allegiance to the United States, such as furnishing enemies with arms, troops, transportation, shelter, or classified information. If a subversive act has any tendency to weaken the power of the United States to attack or resist its enemies, aid and comfort has been given.
The Treason Clause applies only to disloyal acts committed during times of war. Acts of disloyalty during peacetime are not considered treasonous under the Constitution.
What I found interesting was this: If a subversive act has any tendency to weaken the power of the United States to attack or resist its enemies, aid and comfort has been given.
The Constitution, therefore, would not support charges of treason against the people who are responsible for the things listed, even though they all do, in their own way, “weaken the power of the United States to attack or resist its enemies”. So what can you do, when officials betray the Constitution in a way that falls short of the Constitutional definition of treason?

Just in case you’re thinking the Biden administration, with VP Harris in charge of border issues, is not doing effective regarding illegal immigration, rest easy. They’re on the job.
President Joe Biden’s administration is sending notices to tens of thousands illegal immigrants who were released into the U.S. interior without being given a date to appear in court, the government confirmed to The Epoch Times.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) “is mailing charging documents to place noncitizens in removal proceedings who have been paroled or released under prosecutorial discretion by Customs and Border Protection,” an ICE spokesman told The Epoch Times in an email.
The illegal immigrants, numbering about 78,000, will receive packets of documents, including ones directing them to report to the ICE office closest to where they’re living, and that they will be processed for possible deportation. Agents will log biometric information, take photographs, and inform the immigrants of future check-in requirements and court dates.
Naturally, we can assume that every address given by someone released into the United States after breaking our immigration laws is going to be accurate, and that they all will not only be found at those addresses but will “report to the ICE office closest to where they’re living” so they can voluntarily “be processed for possible deportation”.
Of course they will.
By mailing out these charging documents, ICE is initiating removal proceedings in a timely way,” the spokesperson said.
Do you think this represents one of the most egregious examples of virtue signaling ever? HOW DARE YOU ! This is obviously just another example of the brilliant analysis and problem solving skills of our administration. Because really, what could go wrong with such a plan?
What’s next? Supporting defunding the police by presenting a plan to just advertise to criminals: “Please stop by the jail and turn yourself in. Packets of documents that can be filled out detailing what crimes you committed and where and when will be available, as well as coffee and cookies.”
She seems like a nice gal …
