The Capitol Protestors being held in jails where they are being beaten daily for over a year while awaiting trial on a misdemeanor is “getting off too easy” according to the left.
Contrast that with all of the jail time caused by 2020’s “peaceful protests” and tell me what’s lenient.
There is a move to overturn the most important and wide ranging Supreme Court Decision ever made. Not Roe v. Wade, not Brown v. Board of Education. No, the one that the left wants to overturn is Marbury v. Madison.
Marbury was the most important decision ever made by SCOTUS, because it was that decision that gave us judicial review. That case established for the first time that federal courts had the power to overturn an act of Congress on the ground that it violated the U.S. Constitution. The left wants to do away with that, and I think that I know why, but before I explain that, let’s look at why I think this is the left’s latest target. Read from the report itself (pdf alert):
What is the category of decisions to which the Court should be more deferential? Is the concern that the Court exercises too much power just about the invalidation of Acts of Congress, or does it extend to the much more common instances in which the Court declares unconstitutional the actions of states or local
governments?Those two forms of judicial review raise significantly different issues, but both implicate the power of the Court to overturn enactments by democratically elected bodies. In addition, the Court exercises power over the other branches of the federal government in ways apart from its constitutional holdings. The Court interprets federal statutes and can declare unlawful the actions of executive branch agencies. Though these decisions, unlike constitutional holdings, can in principle be overturned by legislation, in practice the difficulty of enacting legislation routinely means that what the Court says is the last word.

Perhaps the more fundamental question — the one that has attracted so much discussion for so long is when deference is justified and when it is not. In prominent cases, the Court has intervened to try to protect racial or religious minorities or political dissidents from the abusive actions of majorities. If the Court were to adopt a posture of across-the -board
deference, it would no longer play that role . But some critics of the Court assert that greater deference would be worth it, that the gains from those celebrated decisions are outweighed by the instances in which the Court has prevented democratically -elected branches of government from serving the nation’s interests, including by recognizing and protecting individual rights and the rights of minority and disadvantaged groups.
Read those bolded parts. What the commission, and by extension the left, is trying to say is that they don’t want SCOTUS overruling the other branches of government. They want a government that is no longer constrained by the Constitution. Without a Supreme Court ruling that certain acts and laws are not Constitutional, the legislative and executive branches would no longer be constrained by our founding documents.
Since we all know that elections don’t mean shit and have been gamed, cutting the courts out of our government would be handing the keys of our nation over to the communist dictators that currently run the Democratic party.
Packing the court would likely be seen by Suzie Soccermom as a power grab, drawing the ire of the general public. Removing the power of the court to overturn unconstitutional edicts would be obscure enough that America’s inability to grasp legal nuance and to read a story that is more than a paragraph long would likely pass without complaint.
That is the real danger: A Democratic party unrestrained by the ballot box, the Constitution, or a Supreme Court.
Thanks to a record increase in homicides that began with last summer’s rioting peaceful protests, the US has seen the highest increase in homicide rates in modern history. Cities like Portland, Indianapolis, Louisville, and Philadelphia have seen record numbers of homicides.
The rate of homicides is up by 30% from 2019 levels as the US homicide rate increased from about six per 100,000 in 2019 to 7.8 per 100,000 in 2020. The FBI’s Uniform Crime Report recorded 21,570 murders total in 2020, compared with 16,425 murders in 2019.
Rifles and shotguns combined accounted for the same number of homicides as did fists and feet:
Even with all of that, the U.S. murder rate in 2020 was 42% lower than the suicide rate (13.5 deaths per 100,000 people) and 71% below the mortality rate for drug overdose (27.1 deaths per 100,000 people, as of the third quarter of 2020).
All of this is actually causing a backlash to the BLM/Antifa narrative. In a Pew Center survey conducted in September, 47% of U.S. adults said they favored an increase in funding for police in their area, up from 31% in June of 2020. Support for reducing local police funding declined from 25% to 15%.
Remember that one of the things an insurgency must do, according to the CIA insurgency manual, is destroy the people’s trust in the government. This causes the people to cry out for protection from anyone who promises to provide it. Then the communists step in and fix everything.
Prosecutors in the Denver shooting case from last October, where a left wing activist who was working as an unlicensed, armed security guard, shot a right wing protester and is claiming self defense.
The facts of the case are sure to come out in court, but one of the things that will likely be presented in the case is that the decedent was a known member of the Three Percenters, and the decedent’s son had threatened another, uninvolved third person while using racial slurs.
What does any of this have to do with self defense? Nothing, of course. Contrast this with the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, where the judge excluded political affiliation from being mentioned.
We are being hunted. We on the right are being unpersoned. The left has declared war and embarked upon the path to genocide, but the right hasn’t yet been willing to admit it.
Local apparatchiks are doing what communists always do- they are making lists of the enemies of communism so, when they are finally let off the chain, they know who to target.
Keep your own lists. Know who the enemy is before things get sporty.
McAuliffe finally conceded, making the Virginia’s next Governor a Republican. That is great news, and proves that I was incorrect about this election. I still do believe that this means the Democrats will hold nothing back next November when it comes to holding on to Congress.
I guess time will tell.
The Virginia election takes place today. Every single poll is saying that the Republican, Youngkin, is going to beat Democrat McAuliffe.
No he isn’t.
Sure, if elections were still free and fair, the polls would be correct and Youngkin would win. This election isn’t about voting. It’s a referendum on the Democrats and their communist takeover. This means that Virginia’s urban districts will have a 110% voter turnout, because the Dems will cheat to whatever extent is required to make up any Republican margin.
This election will be a good indicator for next year’s mid term elections. If the Democrats have really gamed the system the way that I suspect that they have, this election will go to them, as will the elections next November. We will see Democrat supermajorities in both chambers of Congress.
If Youngkin wins the election, the cheating will be even worse. Extreme nationwide Democrat vote fraud in 2022 will become a certainty. Keep prepping. Things are going to get worse. Full pantry, full freezer, full magazines, full bank accounts.
At least a quarter of the nation thinks that elections are rigged. How long can a nation continue like this?
This has to be a joke. On the one hand, we have cops who are trying to act like they are total badasses that make SEALs look like wimps, and on the other, we have Capitol police who need comfort dogs to deal with having to hear other cops asking for backup over the radio.
U.S. Capitol Police officer Jeffrey Albanese, a 14-year veteran, said his role on Jan. 6 was to make sure all emergency personnel who needed to be in the Capitol could enter.
But what haunts him is having listened to radio calls from officers in distress.
This is pure emotional manipulation. They want people to feel sorry for the Capitol police.
It happens like clockwork, every time communists carry out a revolution, that revolution needs to get rid of those who would oppose them. The left is following the CIA insurgency manual step by step. We are in the violent stage of the campaign. Part of that stage is the elimination of those who would oppose them.
That is why there are show trials. Parents speak out at a school board meeting? They must be silenced and arrested. A father is angry that a left wing darling raped is daughter? He must be thrown in the gulag. A teacher speaks out that your kids are being indoctrinated? Fire her. Imprison military officers who won’t go along.
My advice? The wheels are coming off quickly. Rush preparations to completion.
Ensure that you have all that you need to weather this storm. The clock is running out.
