California Town Purges Woke

Paul Collier December 28, 2023

Over the objections of the seditious members of the DNC-CCP still serving on the council a GOP-majority city council in California voted to remove all wokeness from the government, including holding events that glorified far left activism, like Pride Month, Black History Month, etc. The city is Huntington Beach. It will replace these events with events highlighting the history of the country, the state, and the city.

The events the city supports will not include any that showcases identity politics, or any political agenda at all.

From The New American:

As California City News (CCN) reports, “The Huntington Beach City Council voted Tuesday [12/19] to repeal and rescind the city’s celebration of Black History Month, Women’s History Month, Hispanic Heritage Month, Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Pride Month, and other months recognizing diversity and heritage” (read: other months encouraging division and balkanization).

“Instead, the city council will adopt a new 12-month celebratory history schedule developed by a panel of appointed members,” CCN continues. “The new agenda would ‘be free of any identity politics and political agendas,’ according to a city staff report.”

“‘I’ve been amazed to learn just how much of our rich history I was unaware of,’ said Councilman Casey McKeon from the dais on Tuesday night,” commenting on the history schedule, relates Voice of OC. “‘We wanted to focus on 12 themes a year instead of dozens to help city staff get on the same page.’”

The vote to remove wokeness from the city’s agenda went down party lines, with the DNC-CCP members voting against the measure, desperately seeking to hold on to the anti-American ideology they place over the American republic itself. Wherever Democrats have power, America’s rule of law suffers.

Let us pray the GOP members of this council hold on to power and the DNC-CCP members continue to be rightly voted out. There is no place in the American republic for “democrats” anymore.

SCOTUS Denies Jack Smith an Early Victory

Paul Collier December 27, 2023

The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to expedite considering the immunity of Donald K Trump from the type of prosecution he faces from lawfare assassin and hired DNC-CCP gun Jack Smith, meaning the trials strategically activated by the lawfare assassins and their DNC-CCP-owned judges to interfere with Trump’s ability to campaign against Mass Mailer President Joe Biden will not happen.

Instead, the Trump team can delay these trials most likely until after the election while the issue of his immunity works its way through the appeals court process until it eventually reaches the Supreme Court.

NBC News made this claim in their article covering this decision, “ Steering clear of a political firestorm for now, the Supreme Court said Friday it would not immediately decide the key question of whether Donald Trump has broad immunity for actions he took as president challenging his 2020 election loss.”

This, of course, is not the case, and it makes the reader believe the court hasn’t made a strong political statement in its ruling, which, of course, it has. The decision throws a monkey wrench into the lawfare assassin’s plans to interfere with the 2024 election using trial schedules to do so.

This writer believes SCOTUS knows full well the actions by the lawfare assassins and their collusionist judges do not meet basic constitutional requirements. Their ruling portends their eventual ruling, but they want to make sure before they make such a monumental ruling that the arguments for and against have been fully flushed out so that there is no doubt as to the legal efficacy of a SCOTUS ruling to come that will essentially blunt the most potentially damaging lawfare assaults on the former President.

Of course, NBC, a content marketing company for the DNC-CCP, and overt seditionist against the American republic, isn’t giving up hope that SCOTUS could STILL deliver the type of quick action they hope will happen: As a result of the court’s refusal to intervene, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit will take first crack at the issue; it is scheduled to hear oral arguments on Jan. 9.

Once that court rules, the Supreme Court could act quickly on whether to take up the case.

In asking the court to step in on an expedited basis, Smith said the case “presents a fundamental question at the heart of our democracy: whether a former President is absolutely immune from federal prosecution for crimes committed while in office.”

Trump’s lawyers argued in court papers that Smith had given “no compelling reason” why the Supreme Court should immediately step in ahead of the appeals court.

This is not reporting, this is performing, performing for the DNC-CCP in the interest of a Progmerican Empire they dream will come, which is no America at all.

Jordan Accuses DOJ of Spying on Congress, Wants Answers from Garland

Paul Collier December 21, 2023

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) is accusing the Department of Justice of spying on members of congress, and he wants the head of the DOJ, Merrick Garland, to answer for it.

He wrote a letter to Garland saying, “The Committee on the Judiciary is conducting oversight of the Justice Department’s use of its law-enforcement authority to obtain the private communications of Members of Congress and congressional staff members… On November 8, the Department informed the Committee via e-mail of ‘a change to the Department of Justice’s policies and procedures in criminal investigations involving Members of Congress and their staff’ that ‘impose[s] new requirements to consult with, or receive approval from, the Public Integrity Section.’”

U.S. Congressman Calls for “Revolution”

Paul Collier November 29, 2023

U.S. Congressman Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) openly called for a revolution against the U.S. government in a video he shared on Twitter. He specifically attacked the judicial system, claiming it’s so filled with racism that it essentially needs dismantled, a constant call by the DNC-CCP that is included in its own party platform.

The use of the “white devil” to “justify” the dismantling of the republic, the dismantling of the family, the dismantling of Christianity is a tired trope at this point, and this anti-American, self-identified revolutionary should be arrested and face the highest charges one can face for openly seeking to overthrow the republic, for whatever imagined reason he assumes justifies such seditious actions.

Bowman said in the call to violent revolution, “As you know, we need a revolution within our criminal justice system. Period. Point blank. It is inhumane. It is racist. It is operating exactly as it was designed to be operating. And it is something that has been nurtured and funded historically by not just Republicans, Democrats as well. It’s connected to stop and frisk. It’s connected to just being able to pull someone over on the highway without real Just Cause. It’s connected to the lack of affordable housing in our communities. It’s connected to food insecurity. It’s connected to the lack of workforce development in our communities. It’s connected to mental health, it’s connected to miseducation. And it’s connected to substance abuse, among many other things.”

This is the same congressman that pulled a fire alarm to prevent a vote that might have shut down that same government he is openly calling on dismantling.

Michigan Town Fires CCP-Serving Board

Paul Collier November 9, 2023

A small town in Michigan has given the CCP-bought township board the boot following its continued commitment to allow the CCP to build a battery plant in the town under the condition that it must adhere to the standards of the Chinese Communist Party. The town is called Green Township and it just recalled and replaced 5 of its 7 board members, after 2 had already resigned, leaving none of the CCP-supporting seditionists in positions of power in the town.

The board had voted unanimously in 2020 to approve the building of the battery plant under the auspices of Gotion, a Silicon-Valley-based company whose parent company is owned by the Chinese Communist Party. The vote received an immediate backlash, one that has been ignored, until now.

While opposition steadily grew, the board chose to ignore residents’ concerns, but eventually the pressure was too much for at least two of the board members resigned rather than continue to face the backlash. Following their resignation, the community produced enough signatures to trigger a recall election, with every single board member voted out.

From The Blaze:

While the spread of communism may sound far-fetched, corporate documents explicitly require Gotion to “set up a party organization and carry out party activities in accordance with the constitution of the Communist Party of China” and “ensure necessary conditions for carrying out party activities.”

“China is our number-one enemy!” one angry resident yelled at a board meeting last spring.

“My family members fought communism, and you’re bringing it right here,” said another.

Over the past several months, Green Charter residents amassed enough signatures to force a recall election for board members, who otherwise would face re-election in 2024.

Tensions between board members and residents reached such a peak this year that two board members, James Peek and Gary Todd, already resigned their positions. On Tuesday, more than 1,000 Green Charter residents showed up to cast their ballots to oust the other five: Trustees Dale Jernstadt and Roger Carroll; Clerk Janet Clark; Treasurer Denise MacFarlane; and Supervisor James Chapman.

Jason Kruse defeated Chapman with a whopping 60% of the vote, and Jeff Thorne defeated Jernstadt with 62%. By comparison, Kelly Cushway’s 57% victory over Carroll looks relatively close. Corri Riebow beat Clark for the clerk position with 53%, and Robert Henderson also received 53% to beat MacFarlane for the treasurer spot.

Bill Stanek, the supervisor of nearby Big Rapids Township, also lost a recall vote to challenger Carman Bean.

What the board members of this small town attempted to do to their citizens, selling them out in exchange for CCP cash, is going on right now across our country, from the highest level of office, starting with the King of foreign cash grift himself, Joe Biden, on down to many other local boards, including school boards, willing to take cash for CCP influence over the American people.

Our nation is filled with CCP employees disguised as American politicians, and it’s a problem endemic throughout both major political parties.

Abortion Wins!

Paul Collier November 8, 2023

Abortion wins in big showdowns in Ohio, where an amendment to the state constitution making abortion legal up to birth, in Kentucky when a pro-abortion Democrat governor won re-election in a red state, and Virginia’s State House turns blue over the abortion debate. “Americans” have chosen murdering unborn children over the republic. Last night the nation declared it was not repentant and would continue to worship Moloch over the Lord.

Two other elections of note include two Mayors’ races, one in Bridgeport Connecticut that appears to offer little resolution after a ballot-stuffing controversy surfaced in the Democratic Primary the week before the election. The other Mayor’s race of note involved Sheila Jackson-Lee’s Houston Mayoral run where a run-off election will need to be run to settle the final winner.

To top it all off, Virginia has elected the first trans person, Danica Roem to their State Senate.

Conservative Group Gets IRS Tax Audit After Exposing Senator Who Called on Them to Be Audited

Paul Collier November 7, 2023

The American Accountability Foundation has been served notice by the revolutionary-infested IRS that it will face a lawfare assault by the administration in the form of a tax audit for daring to oppose the death cult’s agenda. The Foundation has exposed a number of Biden’s anti-American, racist, heterophobic, anti-human violent revolutionary nominees and exposed emails by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R) to pressure the IRS to target more DNC-CCP opposition for lawfare assaults, including calls to attack this very organization.

From The Daily Signal:

“Senator Whitehouse has repeatedly called for the IRS to investigate AAF—by name,” AAF President Tom Jones told The Daily Signal in an emailed statement Monday. “Attacking groups like ours has been a priority for Senator Whitehouse and it appears the Biden admin has heeded his calls.”

“We’re auditing your organization’s Form 990 for the tax year ended December 31, 2021,” an IRS revenue agent wrote in a Sept. 14 letter to AAF. The organization provided a copy of the letter to The Daily Signal.

The IRS insisted it does not launch audits for partisan reasons. A spokesman said he could not confirm the audit.

“Under the federal tax law, federal employees can neither confirm nor deny that a particular organization is or is not being audited,” IRS spokesman Anthony Burke told The Daily Signal in a phone interview Monday. “We’re precluded from disclosing tax return information.”

While the sheep of this country indoctrinated into the cult of death that is the DNC-CCP’s agenda cheer this violent action on, little do they realize they have signed up for a club that they can never be members of good standing with unless they sit on the very top of their murderous pyramid scheme Today it might be “conservatives,” the perceived enemies of these sheep, but tomorrow it will be the sheep themselves who cheered on the expansion of government power to chill dissent through lawfare, not realizing one day that same murder machine would one day bring them down as well.

No, They’re Not Drafting People…Yet

Michael Cessna November 3, 2023

A funny thing happened on the first of November of 2023. A few hundred (ultimately, up to eight hundred) Non-Commissioned Officers in the active duty US Army were stunned when they received orders, via email, to report – within a week – to a school none of them were expecting to attend: the Army’s recruiting school at Fort Knox, Kentucky.

This order, coming with no warning, is up-ending hundreds of enlisted families as there is little time to reorder the lives of married NCO’s. Compounding the problem, none of the soldiers ordered to the school knows where they will be assigned, leading to extreme uncertainty on where their new posting will be, as active duty recruiters are spread out across the country. This is guaranteed to strain relationships to the breaking point, compounding an already high divorce rate within the service.

As we reported previously, the harsh realities of the third decade of the 21st Century have caused not only the US Congress, but also the Defense Department, to begin discussing an idea that would have been unthinkable just ten years ago: the reinstatement of conscription, i.e., the Draft – and not simply the draft of the old days, which was male-only, but a draft which would almost certainly apply equally to women.

Needless to say, the sudden nature of the Army’s move has added fuel to the strident denunciations of the very idea by “Gen-Z” and their “Millennial” parents…And the Army’s move on the 1st of November is elevating the hysteria.

For the troops, it’s not so much that the recruiting school itself is overly difficult. It is the fact that most recruiters only volunteer for the duty reluctantly, as their usual alternative is a tour as a drill instructor, something that many NCO’s dread. This is because there has always been a stigma to the duty, dating from at least the official end of the draft in 1973, in that failing to meet assigned quotas of recruits can seriously damage the continuing career prospects of the recruiter. Recruiters are usually long serving NCO’s, with ten to twelve years in the service when they enter the recruiting school; this means that they have seriously committed to the idea of twenty to twenty-five years of service, in order to retire with a reasonable pension. That continued career, however, could be seriously damaged by a failed tour as a recruiter.

The reality, despite Gen-Z’s hysteria, is that the Army’s move has come – officially – as an unexpected result of recruiters and possible recruiter candidates leaving the service at an unexpectedly high rate. Functionally, sending an emergency draft of NCO’s to school to become recruiters – whether they want to be or not – is not a preparation for a reinstatement of conscription.

As we discussed previously, the military’s recruiting woes, where all of the military services except the Marine Corps and the Space Force, are missing their recruiting targets, are made worse when taking into account the comparatively small size of the Marine Corps and Space Force in contrast to the other services. The effects of badly managed “forever wars” and conflicts for over twenty years, coupled to other astoundingly bad decisions, have left the majority of the US population severely disinclined to support enlistment in general.

Obviously, the resulting falling recruitment numbers have left the US military, as a whole, in a dangerous situation, as mounting threats – from Ukraine and Israel, to Iran and China – equate to the likelihood that the United States may well find itself in a very large war – or two…or three – sooner than later. And, after spending some twenty years laser focused (albeit with a very smudged lens) on fighting insurgencies, the armed forces got a stark wake-up call from the Russo-Ukrainian War on casualty rates in large scale combat, to the point that the Army is desperately trying to relearn the flawed strategies of the 1970’s and 80’s, all while missing the mark in spectacularly catastrophic ways, that would be funny, if their effects were negligible…which they are not.

*105th Medical Battalion Aid Station (30th Inf Div), Mortain, France, August 1944. US Army Photo.*

Having stated the above, while the Army’s sudden orders are not a herald of a return to conscription in and of themselves, there is are a pair of outlying possibilities, that it could signal a middle ground” move, neutralizing a flawed medical screening system that has slashed the number of recruits by upwards of 25%. The return of medical waivers for volunteers for minor conditions dating from as long as a decade prior, would be seen as a solid move to increase recruit intakes. Of course, such a move would also open the way to waive medical issues for potential draftees.

Secondly, this move could signal actual preparation for renewed conscription laws, where recruiters could be assigned secondary duties to process a new wave of draftees. As we implied previously, a reintroduction of a Draft for Gen-Z and/or some Millennial’s would almost certainly spark a wave of draft dodging and draft riots on a scale that would make those of the Civil War era pale in comparison.

And, of course, a third possibility is hanging in the air, namely, the idea of offering bounties and legal amnesty via recruitment to those “military age males” currently flooding across the southern border of the United States…

…However, considering how armed forces frequently act in their countries origin, this may well be more of a curse than a benefit.

Trump Calls Chutkan’s Bluff on Violently Unconstitutional Gag Order

Paul Collier November 1, 2023

On Sunday, Lawfare Assassin foreign-born DNC-CCP Judge Chutkan reinstated the gag order, but in a limited sense, ordering Trump to not make “public comments targeting prosecutors, court staff and potential witnesses,” despite the fact that the DNC-serving prosecutors and many of the potential witnesses are direct political opponents to Trump’s 2024 Presidential runs.

While prosecutors wanted Trump thrown in jail, Chutkan chose not to do that as she rightly fears the backlash that would cause across the country as half or more of American citizens would rightly interpret such a move as a clear sign the Federal government is a direct enemy to their American rights and values in an existential sense of that term. Trump for his part is all-but pledging to defy the order, saying of it that “It will not stand.”

Trump stated, “I have just learned that the very Biased, Trump-Hating Judge in D.C., who should have RECUSED herself due to her blatant and open loathing of your favorite President, ME, has reimposed a GAG ORDER which will put me at a disadvantage against my prosecutorial and political opponents This order, according to many legal scholars, is unthinkable! It illegally and unconstitutionally takes away my First Amendment Right of Free Speech, in the middle of my campaign for President, where I am leading against BOTH Parties in the Polls. Few can believe this is happening, but I will appeal. How can they tell the leading candidate that he, and only he, is seriously restricted from campaigning in a free and open manner? It will not stand!”

It is becoming more and more evident that the DNC-CCP will stop at almost nothing they feel they can get away with to bury any opposition to fulfil the promise first made by then President-elect Obama, who claimed upon his accession to power he would “fundamentally transform” America, a seditious statement in and of itself that should have gotten him arrested and sent to Guantanamo Bay along with the other terrorists seeking to murder their way to power at the expense of our liberty-loving republic.

The Walls Are Closing In On Trump and Our Union

Bill Collier October 27, 2023

The walls are closing in on Donald Trump, 45th President of these United States of America, but, what few of his persecutors or prosecutors (depending on your perspective) realize is that this also shows that the walls are closing in on the very existence of our Union as a single country. As every day brings new setbacks for Trump’s legal defense, and as once staunch allies cover themselves by sacrificing him to the altars of Democrats in high dudgeon, the very substance of our Union weakens.

THIS IS NOT A COMMENTARY on Trump, on his guilt or innocence, or anything like that. It is an analysis of the potential impacts to the strength of our Union which follow the possible scenarios that may unfold.

Let’s cover the diverse perspectives.

You may think Trump is guilty and should be punished like anyone else would be. You may think he is guilty but also think his opponents are also coloring outside the legal lines and wonder why the law isn’t being equally applied. You may think Trump may have veered close to the legal line and didn’t cross it, but his opponents are using it against him while covering up their own actual crimes. You may think Trump is innocent, and this is a witch hunt, a totally political persecution, lawfare. Beyond these perspectives, there are shades in between as well, filled with nuance.

The legal question is “guilty or not guilty.”

If you think Trump is guilty and knows it, then you are frustrated he hasn’t just admitted it and backed out of his bid for a second term for the good of the country. What appalls you about your fellow citizens and divides you from them is how so many could be conned into following an obviously bad person.

If you think Trump is innocent, or not guilty, you look at the Biden administration and the bureaucrats in DC and wonder why they don’t, for the good of the country, disengage and disavow the lawfare and play ball fairly. What appalls you about your fellow citizens is how so many could be OK with such an obvious abuse of power knowing they can’t win on an even playing field.

Perhaps the truth doesn’t easily fit those two perspectives and perhaps one might ask a deeper question of both sides: how seriously are they taking the repercussions of their actions in light of the threat to our political fabric? When we see something like around 40% of Republicans and Democrats saying that force should be used against the other side we are hearing the klaxon of chaos and ruin approaching but nobody seems to notice or, if they do, care.

Not to be a Cassandra or make a prediction of the inevitability of our disUnion, but one must take such dangers seriously even if the probability is, say, only 10%, although it is probably higher than 10% at the moment. There are too many racial, religious, ideological, and economic conflicts between disparate groups of Americans, and now the Arab-Jewish conflict is coming to our shores! To even review in detail would be impossible without writing a book. Any one of these, saving perhaps the Arab-Jewish war that affects relatively few Americans (though it is quite dramatic, painful, and impactful to them!), could become explosive, and that explosion could cause an unintentional chain reaction.

The fact is that around 30% of Americans seem to love Trump, and among them, he has superstar almost godlike status (not literally but figuratively), and he is in a sense a messianic persona who will “make America great again.” But 30% of the country see him almost as the old line churches used to preach about the antichrist, a truly apocalyptic figure whose very presence in the American political scene threatens to reverse 100 years of real social progress, which still has a long way to go to be equitable and just.

(Note, the left has a “new man” ideology based on believing human nature is plastic and amenable to change in the right environment while the right has a “natural man” ideology based on adapting the environment to the existing and mostly unalterable human nature as it exists. These two ideologies are incompatible within a single sociocultural and socioeconomic system but could coexist within a vastly more decentralized and pluralistic Union.)

Most of those who love Trump and view any threats to him as threats against themselves tend to be more classical liberal in the sense of fiscal conservative, free market, and socially more libertine albeit within some traditional limits. Most of those who despise Trump tend toward a sort of free market socialism, if we can say such a thing exists, and are rather socially progressive to the degree of seeing those who are socially conservative as illegitimate and their views as unethical, bordering on criminal. But not everyone in either the “love Trump” or “hate Trump” camp falls in either of these categories.

As for the 40% in the middle, this is not a case of being indecisive. Their views are diverse but often definite. Perhaps 80% of the voting public have made up their mind about Donald Trump, and it is likely their views will not change.

This brings us to the dynamite sitting around in a hot room that we call the multiple prosecutions/persecutions of Trump via courts one tends to either see as virtuous and good or corrupt and evil. The strains on the fabric of our political Union are immense as the fabric of our political Union includes trust, respect, tolerance, and consent. Increasingly, both sides see the other as untrustworthy, disrespectful toward fellow Americans, intolerant, and acting outside the consent of the People. In other words, some 60% of the voting public deem the other side as totally illegitimate, and when they win office, all respect for the office goes away if your side didn’t win it.

If we apply that 40% of Democrats and Republicans who think the other side should be resisted with violence, that’s around 24% of the voting public who are already primed ideationally for what amounts to civil war: political violence aimed at the opposition. There are 24 million Americans leaning more and more toward the fringe on their respective sides.

Given either a scenario where Trump is thrown in jail or he is not, the side whose desires were not met will feel a deep sense of rage and betrayal at the system and the more fringe and unstable elements (which both sides shelter among themselves in their desperate search for allies) may begin to engage in political violence. While it is true, the FBI is wholly in the camp of the left and taking extreme measures to “monitor” the right, because the FBI leadership think 30% of Americans are illegitimate because they support Trump, their attention is rather parochial for the Democratic Party than for the integrity of the Union. In other words, the FBI are positive toward elements of the left who may become radicalized to violence if Trump isn’t sufficiently punished in their eyes while the people on the right they are focused on are so many in number, resources are spread too thin to catch the actual fringe elements on the right who may engage in violence.

Basically, as to the leftist fringe, the FBI are blinded by affection, and as to the right’s fringe the FBI monitoring regimen against the right is way too broad and spread too thin to catch the actual fringe. The FBI are hounding pro life activists, parents disgruntled by what they deem grooming of their children, and any conservative remotely connected to January 6, 2021 activities or who was merely in the vicinity of DC on or around that day. In truth, one wonders how human traffickers and mega drug dealers are being dealt with as the FBI turns its monstrous gaze inward at innocent civilians whose ideologies the mostly rabidly loyalists Democratic Party activists in their ranks deem as illegitimate just for existing.

Put more bluntly: the partisan bias of the FBI effectively blinds it from the threats of leftist or rightist fringe elements who could engage in political violence such as we have not seen since the Civil War. This doesn’t mean we will see a civil war, but compared to every major upheaval since the Civil War, this could be the largest even if it doesn’t trip into a second full-fledged civil war.

Trump’s prosecutors or persecutors, depending on your perspective, should take much cognizance of the consequences of how they engage in their efforts. Even if Trump is guilty, if the prosecution looks like persecution because it is patently unfair, or if it looks like the law is too rigorously applied to Trump while others go scott-free, then the temporary satisfaction of bringing Trump down will be replaced quickly by the sheer terror or major political violence and upheaval, perhaps from BOTH right and left fringe elements.

But to not prosecute Trump at all just because it will make people irate, if indeed he is guilty, would be a miscarriage of the Rule of law, hence the need to be equally vigorous about unethical and possibly criminal activities on the other side, of which serious and credible accusations have arisen.

On the other hand is Trump himself, who some may even suggest should consider bowing out and endorsing someone for the good of the country, albeit others will argue if he does that then lawfare will constantly be used to target Republicans knowing they will just bow out when targeted. It is not always true that bowing out is precedent for others, especially if you know maybe you strayed close enough to the edge of the law to raise legitimate concerns, but likewise merely bowing out may not solve the problem if lawfare is simple a tactic now employed by the left against the right.

This means that, even if Trump knows or sincerely believes he is innocent, there is no surefire response he can make for the good of the country as either bowing out or slugging it out could have unknown consequences.

But for his prosecutors/persecutors, depending on your perspective, there is a clear need for caution: to engage in a fair and open process with absolute transparency, to remove all conflicts of interest, and to ensure that the law is applied equally with regards accusations against the other side, e.g. the Biden family dealings. What one cannot see is caution, indeed the rhetoric of his prosecutors has mimicked the hardest and most militant leftwing fringe elements in their rhetoric, not only against Trump but his supporters as well, as if they would truly know whether or not he is guilty.

The blatant partisanship and the fact that the leading prosecutors all have shown reckless abandonment of any pretense of this not being an operation helmed by the DNC itself all bode ill for our country EVEN IF in one or more of these cases he is guilty. HOW one pursues rule of law, including the optics and how one addresses the supporters of the accused, is as important as applying the law to everyone regardless of office or status.

How we got here is a discussion for after we figure out how to navigate past these treacherous waters to safe harbor, and then, when the conflicts and rages have passed, we can ask how to prevent such a situation from happening again. We must preserve our Union and either protecting Trump from what you see as persecution or justly prosecuting his alleged crimes are not nearly as important as maintaining our political fabric and healing our divisions.

Even in the worst-case scenario, we would not predict with certainty that civil war must result, but we do well to warn ourselves of the very real possibility, even if it is the less likely of outcomes. We could see the left totally win as the right lays down, and this some form of leftist Caesarism or the right win and the left lay down, and thus we would see a rightist Caesarism. Or we could see a period of unrest followed by something that cools things off and causes calmer heads on both sides to reach a tolerable peace, this being probably the greatest of possibilities, but still not pleasant.

Due caution and concern should be engaged in and frank, closed-door meetings between the different sides aimed at cooling the political temperature should be ongoing and immediate. The consequences to the world if America falls from within would make World War Two look like a skirmish. Thus, the preservation of our Union, in any form, is, with a 100-year view, more tolerable than even having our political faction totally win if such “victory” undermines the Union.

While for us at the Freedomist liberty or death is an essential element of our ideas and while we may tend to think a Republican win is the least hazardous, for now, to our rights and prosperity, the urgency of preserving our Union for future generations is equally pressing. The ability to carve out gaps for freedom even if the authoritarians on either side have some ascendance for a time is equally urgent to these other considerations and may be the only aspect of preserving our Union that we who do not hold power can do. This applies to all of us, whether we count ourselves to right, to the left, or somewhere in between.
