Thread – Does the Buck Really Stop with Mike Pence?

1. A pal sent me this Facebook post by “Rod D. Martin.” I pass it along as food for thought in the frenzy leading up to the “great expectations” of 6 January.

 2.

We absolutely must resist the massive fraud which has just been perpetrated on our country. But at the same time, we must not grasp at hopes which are not hope.
3. Some believe that the Constitution grants Vice President Mike Pence almost magical powers to overturn the improperly certified election "results" from the stolen swing states. They base this on just one clause, plus a lot of internet rumor.
4. This is the relevant sentence, from the 12th Amendment: "The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted."
5. The [various] theories being articulated freight this clause with a shocking amount of weight. Where, for instance, does this clause state that Mike Pence's rulings are unappealable?
6. He is expressly identified here as "the President of the Senate", which means he is acting in that capacity. Does that not mean that the rules of the Senate apply?
7. And so presumably any ruling of the presiding officer would be appealable to the body of the Senate, which could override his rulings. It is that override, not his ruling, which would be unappealable.
8. Likewise, this clause says that Pence "opens all the certificates", after which the votes are counted. None of the votes by alternate slates of electors have been certified by anyone to my knowledge, not a state legislature, not a governor, not any official state authority.
9. Clearly if the state legislatures had submitted alternate slates, that would be legally meaningful, and clearly those legislatures could have chosen to do so as they did in 1876. But they did not.
10. To my knowledge, all of the alternate slates have self-certified, which is to say, they have not acted under any recognized authority.
11. Does that mean the purported alternate electoral votes can't even be opened? Likely so. And based on my belief that Pence's rulings are appealable to the body, it seems clear to me that he would not be able to pick just any group of purported votes he wished.
12. (And by the way, that's a good thing, since Joe Biden might have done that four years ago if he could have.)
13. The fight on January 6 is not about Mike Pence, but rather about various Congressmen and Senators objecting. But say that some do: the law (not the Constitution) states that the House and Senate then go into separate sessions, ….
13A. … and that for the objection to be sustained it must receive a majority in each House. That's clearly unlikely to happen in the House of Representatives, where there is a Democrat majority.
14. One might argue that the House would have to vote by state delegations in such a circumstance, but the Constitution only specifies that procedure for an actual vote for President.
15. And if anyone asserts that provision as applicable to this very different vote, Speaker Pelosi will rule against them, and the majority will be with her.
16. So even if the Senate votes to uphold the challenge, it will fail unless all of the House Republicans and at least a few House Democrats join them.
17. Mitch McConnell knows this, which is why he hasn't fought harder: he knows he doesn't have enough Republican votes in the Senate (thanks to sellouts like Mitt Romney).
18. And he knows that even having all of them wouldn't be enough since the House will almost certainly go the other way.
19. That's also why we're struggling to find even a handful who are willing to object [hooray for you, Josh Hawley!]. For a lot of these guys, it’s a very big ask for something they believe can't possibly win. [The political class are spineless and have no principles!]
20. We won this election. It was stolen from us. But it's not Mike Pence who's stealing it, or complicit with the steal.
21. There were failures on our side at every level in this process, through foolishness, through incompetence, through error, through lack of courage, and sometimes just by losing: I could write you a book.
22. But ultimately, Democrats chose to steal the election, and you don't blame incompetent guards for a bank robbery: you deal with them, you set up better security after, but you go after the thieves.
23. Despite everything I just said, if you can be in Washington on Jan. 6 you should be. You should demand that your House members and your Senators do the right thing. You should hold them accountable after.
24. You should never let go of this blatant theft, you should never let up, you should never cease demanding proper election security, you should never let the Democrats have a moment of rest from the shame and the permanent consequences we must heap upon them.
25. They are destroying what they like to call "Our Democracy" -- our Republic, our liberty -- and they're glad. They've openly lusted after one party rule, and when "demography" wasn't destiny after all, they just seized it.
26. We may fail on Jan. 6, various courts may refuse to hear us, but eventually, just as in the years leading up to 1776, just as in the People Power Revolution in The Philippines in 1986, we can take back our inheritance of freedom, for ourselves and for our children.
27. We do not have to live forever in a society in which every election is rigged. We may for a while, and they may use that to our great harm. But more capable tyrants than these have been defeated, and we will defeat these, too.
28. [There is no magic bullet.] I have for you what Churchill offered: blood, toil, tears and sweat. We haven't sweated a lot for our freedom. If we had, we wouldn't be here. Isn't it time?

Thread – The Inexorable Marxist Push in America

1. Americans thought the war with Communism was “over” after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. Well, at least some did.

2. Others, on the other hand, buried deep into Academia, Hollywood, and other US cultural institutions and worked to subvert America from within – some even overtly so, working in the various Marxist political parties to stir up protests and later violence in the streets.

3. Always, the Marxists/Socialists perpetuate the myth that socialism will work “the next time” when the “right people” are in charge. It is a continuing pipedream of theirs.

3A. It will never work because it is contrary to human nature. Ask any former resident of a socialist country about that!

4. Though we may not be around to see it, in the end the Marxists (evil) running free and unchecked in the BLM and Antifa movements will consume themselves, and after that from their ashes, good will find its way back.

Thread – Election Fraud Denial and Course of Action

1. There was massive election fraud during the election. You know it, I know it, and everyone with a functional brain knows it – even those in the Democrat-media complex who want to wish it away & usher in the Biden Dark Ages.

2. There was an excellent article at American Thinker yesterday that examined possible reasons why an intelligent observer would opt for the cover-up of election fraud if it did take

3. Here are the reasons listed:

3A. Reason 1: The election fraud–denier wanted President Trump to be removed from the Oval Office.

3B. Reason 2: The election fraud denier-wanted a Democrat to be elected as the president.

3C. Reason 3: The election fraud–denier was afraid of violence that investigation of election fraud may lead to.

3D. Reason 4: The election fraud–denier wants to be "pragmatic" — that is, to accept whatever happened and go along with whatever comes out of it.

3E. Reason 5: The election-fraud denier was concerned that any serious investigation of election fraud might erode public trust in our elections.

Thread – Possible American Dystopias in 2021

1. Dystopia: an imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or bad, typically a totalitarian or environmentally degraded one.

2. I read an article the other day that predicted future dystopian possibilities in the US given all that we have seen and what has transpired in 2020. Talk about thought-provoking and frightening! Here are some excerpts.

3.

The general election of 2020 will be the stuff of argument and analysis for many years to come, here and abroad.

3A. Suffice to say here that a panicky over-reaction to the onset of the COVID-19 virus produced economic hardship and social disorder, compounded by months of riots, looting and arson afflicting hundreds of cities (almost all Democrat-governed) beginning in late May 2020.

3B. All of this set the stage for an election won overwhelmingly on November 3rd by President Donald Trump and lost by him in the following weeks to his Democrat opponent.

Let me take a stab at this after years of reporting on Marine One, HMX-1, Continuity of Government, etc. None of this is definitive, but it could help explain what folks are seeing:

1.) HMX-1, which flies the VH-3D and VH-60N 'White Top' helicopters used to move... 1/X


the President and VP around, those helos being called Marine One or Two when either is onboard, need to train. The urban landing zones, including WH and VP Residence, are not simple to get in and out of. So, crews need some currency training. They are not just tasked with... 2/X

moving POTUS and VP to get them around the region and to Andrews AFB for long-haul flights, they are essential to Continuity of Government operations. This means that if a threat were to emerge, they need to be ready to snatch POTUS and VP in minutes. This is partially... 3/X

why they have a full forward operating location at Naval Support Activity Anacostia, just 3 miles from the WH. As such, practice is important and considering the state of things, it is critical now more than in any recent memory. 4/X

2.) Considering what happened last week, including mobs of Trump supporters screaming in unison to hang the VP for doing what the constitution states, absolutely despicable in every way, security has been tightened just as it has been all over. Using the helicopters instead.. 5/X

As our national civics lesson continues to unfold on its march toward our 59th Presidential Inauguration on January 20, 2021 and Donald Trump’s second term, 45’s unmasking exercise (that’s a large part of what his first term had to be) continues toward its big climax.

2 of 52

In his 2017 Inaugural Address, President Trump proclaimed on behalf of his administration, “we are transferring power from Washington, D.C., and giving it back to you, the people.”

3 of 52

From my very biased vantage point, here’s how I like to think of that sentence.

It likely was the announcement of his two-pronged military campaign.

The first prong is obvious; it’s against foreign interference.

4 of 52

As we now clearly see, nothing short of a military campaign would suffice when global influencers have totally co-opted elements of our two major political parties.

5 of 52

The other prong has an internal focus: Washington, D.C.

🔷 Rev. Raphael Warnock has become the first Democrat to win a Georgia Senate race in 20 years

The politician spoke to voters via MSNBC this morning

Warnock is a pastor at the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta where civil rights leader Martin Luther King once preached.

He will become Georgia's first Black senator


This blue victory gives the Democrats the chance to regain control of the Senate for at least the first two years of the Biden presidency


"With Biden proposing to reverse President Donald Trump's tax cut, increase the minimum wage, and strengthen oversight on various industries, some might argue that his agenda is not particularly market-friendly," says Vasu Menon, investment strategy director at OCBC Bank

Okay. Now that the lights are on again, let's do this Texas thing one more time from a slightly different angle. Because for a lot of people the REAL disaster of the last week is still on the way. … 1/22

Texas is finally back to a grid capacity that exceeds demand. That's good. However, it's only making it easier to see the water disaster, food disaster, and economic disaster ahead. Which is exactly what has billionaires bragging they "hit the jackpot." … 2/22

For energy companies in Texas, this has been the BEST WEEK EVER. The same goes for natural gas companies. The entire energy industry—including the owners of Texas wind farms—has seen a tremendous surge of profit. … 3/22

In just two days this week, Monday and Tuesday, providers easily cleared more profit than in a full year of ordinary, ho-hum service. NOT providing adequate electricity to Texas is much more profitable than providing every Texan with the power they need. By design. … 4/22

With a governor so busy going on Fox he didn’t have time to even distribute the stock of generators provided by FEMA, most of Texas is simply exhausted. But the energy industry is ecstatic. This sugar rush injected billions straight into their pockets *for failing*. … 5/22

Hello, writers! How about a thread on LITERARY AGENTS? How to get one, how to talk to one, how to keep one happy. Spoiler alert: I am 100% pro agent and can't imagine not having one on my side. 1/

Why would you want a literary agent?
* you want to be traditionally published
* you want someone experienced to help guide your career
* you want to learn how to edit like a pro
* you want to sell foreign and movie rights
* you want answers to your newbie questions 2/

Why you might *NOT* want a literary agent:
* you want to self publish
* you're not willing to compromise on your edits
* you don't think their expertise is worth 15% of your advance
I... can't think this way. Literary agents have been crucial to my career. 3/

So, how do you get a literary agent?
1. Have a finished, revised, edited, polished manuscript.
2. Write a query letter for your book
3. Send your query to agents who rep your genre and are open to submissions
4. Repeat steps 1-4 until you're offered representation. 4/

So, let's go through those four steps. First of all, you must have a finished, revised, edited, polished book, and it must be sellable. That is, you can't sell a 600k picture book or a 40k adult Fantasy, etc. You must read extensively in the genre you're writing. 5/

Light travels at about 1 foot per nanosecond.

Hold your hand up 12 inches from your face: you’re seeing your hand as it was a nanosecond ago. Everything you look at is, to one degree or another, in the past. The farther away in space, the more ancient in time.

You can’t see the Sun as it is now, but you can see it as it was about 8 minutes ago. You can’t see Alpha Centauri now, but you can see it 4.4 years ago. You can see the Andromeda Galaxy as it was 2.5 million years in the past. And so on.

With powerful telescopes, we can see galaxies whose light has been traveling to us for more than 13 billion years. We see them shining in a universe that’s still young, where gravity has just begun to pull matter together into stars and galaxies.

We can see something even more distant, and more ancient, than the first galaxies. If we peer out far enough, in between the galaxies, we can see parts of the Universe that are so far away, it has taken the light from that distance almost the entire age of the cosmos to reach us.

Manipulation Sign:

If you are compromising too much, there is a chance that you are getting manipulated.

Why are you the one that's always compromising?

How come the other person always gets their way?

Be more curious.

If something seems off, stick up for yourself.

'Wait, you sure I am being manipulated?'

I have no clue, that is only something that you can decide for yourself.

'Dang is there anything I need to look out for?'

Plenty..

But let me give you a few things to look out for.

👇

I see manipulation as skillfully controlling someone's behavior for egotistical or unethical purposes.

'How come people don't leave when it's happening to them?'

Because most people have 0 clue that they are being manipulated.

1. Guilt Trip

You ever made a mistake around someone, only for them to hold it over your head?

The will always bring up the mistake when you 2 are not seeing eye to eye.

These people will use that mistake as leverage to get what they want from you in the future.

Look out.

2. The Rationalizer

This person will commit the worst acts & find a way to rationalize it.

Example: cheaters when they get caught.

They have every excuse in the book for why they did it.

Heck, they are so good at rationalizing, they will make it seem like your fault.
