Power Grab

Real, or Memorex?

Ever since her selection to be the Democrat candidate for President, the Harris campaign has appeared to be an unstoppable juggernaut of popular support. Here is one picture, purportedly showing a huge outpouring of support for her, as she arrives on Air Force 2;

Until you zoom in and take a look at the crowd:

Oopsie, that’s an AI altered picture. Zooming in to the engine, there is no crowd appearing in the reflection. Unless the entire crowd is made up of vampires, which is impossible, because vampires can’t survive in direct sunlight.

The left is saying that anyone who notices this is engaged in a misinformation campaign. Don’t believe your lying eyes- Harris is the most popular candidate ever. They cite Snopes as the authoritative source that this picture is totally not fake, and there were actually over 15,000 people there. After all, if the MSM says it, and Snopes fact checked it, that means it totally happened.

There is no isvestia in Pravda, and there is no pravda in Isvestia.

Defending Democracy(tm)

President Biden is set to announce major Supreme Court reforms on Monday, likely including term limits and an enforceable ethics code. He’s also expected to advocate for a constitutional amendment to limit presidential immunity.

Let’s parse this. Term limits are unconstitutional. Read Art. III, Sec. 1:

The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.

Term limits would require a Constitutional Amendment, not an executive order. Biden can’t legally do shit about term limits.

An ethics code: Biden can’t do that by executive order, either. At the least, it would require an act of Congress, and even then, the court is likely to rule that such an act would be unconstitutional.

Which brings us to the final point- limiting officeholder immunity through Constitutional amendment.

Passing an Amendment is extremely difficult, and it’s meant to be. There is no way that they are going to get the two thirds vote of both houses of Congress, nor are they likely to get the approval of 38 state legislatures. I just don’t see this happening without the left finally admitting that they use COTUS as toilet paper.

They are simply pissed because the court is not ruling in their favor. They will stop at nothing to destroy Trump, and once they do, you are next.

This is Why the US Will Fall

I want you to look at this story. The left entered the House gallery and “protested” in an attempt to derail Congress. Not one of them was charged with interfering with the government before being locked up for years while awaiting trial.

The “protesters” grabbed a cop and dragged him across the ground. None of them were arrested.

The left is going to overthrow the government, and the right will do nothing but sit around arguing about shit that is completely irrelevant. It’s the biggest problem that I have with libertarians, and it keeps rearing its head. The left is using violence to alter an election, again. Meanwhile, the right is busy arguing about semantics.

This is why the left will win.

Astroturf

My social media feeds flipped to being overwhelmingly about THROATUS over the past few days. It’s been overwhelming to the point where social media is unreadable at this point. I am guessing that Kamala is using all of those campaign funding dollars to hire a few people to run thousands of social media accounts to shill for her. It wouldn’t be hard to do.

One person can easily send 30 messages/posts/tweets per hour, all on different accounts. That means a total of 240 messages in an 8 hour workday. If you were to hire 150 people at $15 an hour, if would cost you about half a million bucks per month. During that same month, more than a million messages would be posted in support of you from a million different accounts.

It would look like overwhelming support, and that is assuming you don’t use bots to get even more coverage.

Here it Comes

I continue with my prediction that the left won’t let Trump take office again. With that in mind, here is what THROATUS is saying she wants to do:

Make sure that you have enough guns for you, your friends, family, and a hidden cache as a backup so they don’t get all of them. Make sure you have lots of ammo. It’s coming. I’ve been warning you for four years now- you DID heed my warnings, didn’t you?

You Need a Program to Identify the Acts of the Play

So here it is, to get you caught up:

  1. They tried to smear him in 2016 by claiming Russian collusion. The evidence, as it turns out, was fake.
  2. they tried impeaching him
  3. they tried impeaching him again
  4. they tried suing him into the poorhouse
  5. they filed tons of criminal charges against him, finally getting a conviction on some rather dubious legal grounds. When SCOTUS issued the ruling on Presidential immunity, the court delayed sentencing.
  6. All of the other cases were dead in the water. The left went apoplectic.

Then there was an assassination attempt on Trump’s life. In order for this event to have happened, at least one of two things must be true:

  • The Secret Service is entirely incompetent.
  • The Secret Service was complicit in the attempt.

There are no other possibilities. Where I am leaning is complicity.

In either event, the attempt failed. Then the poll numbers came out, and Trump’s numbers looked even better. It was at this point that Biden reversed course and decided to drop out of the race, citing health concerns. So now there are only two possibilities:

  1. Biden is too addled and mentally incompetent to run for office, which makes him too addled to hold the office of President, and he needs to go under the 25th Amendment. Now.
  2. Or, he resigned because his numbers looked so bad that it was unlikely that he would beat Trump in the election. In this case, the left is guilty of election tampering. The Democrat party can no longer claim to “support democracy(tm)”

No matter which of the above is true, welcome to banana republic status.

Getting Worse

Yes, the first information from a major event is usually wrong. It’s called the ‘fog of war’ and it’s a well known phenomenon. The problem is that the news coming out from Trump’s attempted assassination keeps making the entire even glow brighter as time goes on.

The latest is that the police spotted the shooter on that roof at 5:45, called it in and took a picture of him. Trump didn’t take the stage until 6:05. The shots were fired at 6:11.

So when the suspicious person was called in, why did Trump’s detail still allow him to take the stage? Why didn’t anyone go over there and check it out? Was this incompetence? Complacency? Or something more sinister?

We will never know the truth.
