2000+ Mules maybe brought not just the presidential electoral vote maybe the popular vote and maybe the House

  • Not enough evidence in key states my ass
  • By rubber-stamping the election the Iowa Republican federal delegation hardly avoided a national crisis — without a fight they ushered in national financial ruin, an idiot-ocracy inviting world war, devastation of national sovereignty, nuclear Iran, a worldwide food crisis, inculcation and subsidy of moral degeneracy . . .
  • But don’t get upset, its not like the Dems are and will be in a rush to do their worst 
  • Its not like the Dems will still likely have the cat bird seat to protect many of their ill-gotten gains perhaps even past a 2024 presidential rout by Republicans on top of congressional wins in 2022.
  • There needs to be disgust conveyed to the weak hitters during the Republican primary hopefully supplanting the unchastened, but to be sure, regrouping to (for some cases) hold our collective noses and vote straight Republican in the general (nothing is worse than a Dem).
  • View the 2000 Mules documentary, challenge Republican apparat to take responsibility for any acquiescence.   More comments below:

Now I am not saying the new documentary put together by True The Vote and by Dinesh DeDouza, informed by whistle blowers and brave state legislators,  and all those responsible for the research and production going into the documentary 2000 Mules are saying the popular vote was stolen (portions certainly were). I have not seen the documentary as yet and I may have to wait until later in the week.  But all the pre-publicity indicates the presidency was essentially stolen through targeted states impacting the electoral college.

Read about the documentary here . . .  or various articles related to it vis web search. 

The reason we may have to wait a few days to see it is because local theaters are not confirming a showing.  They will have to be contacted later in the day as the producers/distributors have advised them not to pre-publicize because of the threat of disruption. (See links to articles).

BREAKING – showings at Davenport 53rd Street cinemas 7:00 PM TONIGHT and Wednesday This is a private screening event. You will not see 2000 Mules listed on the marquee and there will be no posters. Please do not challenge theater staff on lack of signage. This is how all private screening events are held. Cost online at the 2000 Mule site $20.00

So by some lights the supposed ministerial necessity of certifying an election with plain as day exhibitions of:  multiple states’ election laws being ignored, incredible absentee voting patterns, voter list and eligibility issues, courts failing to address the merits of claims, the phenomenal extent of electoral history anomalies, sworn testimony from observers, video evidence of chicanery  . . . trumps (pardon the usage) all.  Somehow The Framers thought it necessary to impart a ministerial task on to representatives turning them into functionaries that must sit back and rubber stamp a stolen election without recourse . . .  a Constitution self-destruct mechanism because that is what is going on.

So what has the ease with which the 2020 steal was certified cost the country . . . the world? Now here I want to emphasize my complaint is with so many who simply rolled over and declined to join the efforts of Cruz and Cotton and others to pursue constitutional means to examine the validity of the situation. A fair and thorough hearing. The honoring of the Constitutional right to petition the government for redress of grievances — a stolen election that is not preempted or circumvented by a dumb-ass interpretation of the Constitution imposing any ministerial obligation.

The tremendous damage of the rubber-stamping of Biden/ Harris crime family being installed includes: national financial ruin, an idiot-ocracy inviting world war, devastation of national sovereignty, nuclear Iran, a worldwide food crisis, inculcation and subsidy of moral degeneracy (we are all sinners but Dems want to glorify it) . . . tax support for abortion on demand expanding to infanticide . . . all predictable.

All this is of course mostly the cheaters fault but if good people see the likelihood of the national and cultural sabotage and do nothing to challenge the power grab at the time, well they owe us and future generations an intense effort to legally decertify the election and reset every policy implemented by the thieves, and oh yes send them to jail.

Otherwise, the way it stands today Republicans may well win the House and maybe even the Senate in 2022 but to a regrettable great extent to what avail?  Biden will still be president, impeachment and conviction will result in perhaps as bad or worse for two years. Even with a Republican Congress it is unfortunately likely that Republicans will not be in charge, the Dem pretender president and a veto sustaining number of Democrats in Congress can protect their damndest. Federally, the main hope is the 2024 presidential election in combination with a 2022 win JUST TO HOLD THE LINE. And so we pray.

But even then a roll-back might be prevented by RINOs in league with remaining Dems to sustain filibusters by Dems to protect their ill-gotten gains.  Desertification is the appropriate federal solution morally and we hope practically (even if new political ground).   To be sure Red States asserting themselves is absolutely essential to the Republic and may overarch some things but unfortunately impractically not others.

Anyway watch the documentary 2000 Mules.  We remain open to suggestions, corrections, better ideas to what we have opinionated here. We will publish comments to the contrary. But do keep in mind  it is Democrats who have long demonstrated they are unscrupulous, unethical, and election cheaters (surely 90% of election fraud is perpetrated by Democrats). They are not going to be embarrassed and resign. They must be set back.

Would THE Associated Press or AOL ever post pictures of the remains of aborted humans?

ATTN: GRAPHIC CONTENT – PICTURES OF MUTILATED HUMAN REMAINS (only some approved by THE AP)

I subscribe to AOL.  Yes I even pay a subscription to something that was associated with the Huffington Post and is still “of the cloth”. Rather than get into the issues of weaning myself away from the platform I have been with for 30 years (and the tinge of hypocrisy as a conservative for not doing so) it at least gives me a constant update on what the left thinks is news . . . and their spin on everything the liberal media thinks newsworthy.

As my punishment I am faced virtually every time I open it with a variety of ledes to stories referred to as the ‘Today on AOL” feature — invariably with an “open me” picture used as backdrop or to entice the reader to click on the story.  Indeed the journalistic talents at the AP and AOL  no doubt rely on the  “What is a train wreck story worth in clicks without a picture of the train wreck” school of web design.

They have not been shy about posting pictures of the macabre whenever it suits them.

Case in point and the one that triggered me to write this today appeared yesterday .   Below is the picture the AP and AOL used to illustrate their report.  As I remember it was in the first tier of such featured stories at the time.

Below is how the scrolling feature first appears.  By clicking on it at the time one is brought to the full post with the larger picture shown above.

The AP and AOL posted pictures for unfiltered consumption  of the remains of human carnage found in Mexico.  The remains are determined to be from human sacrifices of human beings brutally killed and their remains further horrifically treated. It is all in the story.

The perps of the above atrocities, the indigenous elites and their followers, were the sort of people Columbus should have been more respectful of, we are told ad nauseam by those who have no compunction against child sacrifice here and now, and who honor celebrate and reward today’s perps of abortion on demand.

However you won’t see the pictures we show below posted by AP or AOL.

It is not impertinent to ask why not — are not such photos relevant to the story about abortion at whatever stage? Why be squeamish about posting them but not the remains shown above?  If somehow the AP thinks abortion pictures are inappropriate then how do they justify any pictures of carnage they choose to show relating to war, disease, famine, crime . . .?  If the “feeling” is that the pictures we post are not real then surely the AP can use its influence to obtain ‘real’ pictures of human remains after an abortion.

It is almost as if the AP and AOL are engaged in a cover-up or something.

In truth the pictures of human carnage right to life groups sometimes show are either provided by medical personnel or are of bodies thrown out as “clinic” trash or are of “collectables’  or specimens as per the likes of Kermit Gosnell and others.  They published to fight the lies and the PR of the so-called caring “abortion providers”, the pollyannish and skewed “picture” of abortion that the AP promotes, the denial of the scope and reality of the abortion license, the too often uncivilized aspects of our society.

Today, because of advances in sonograms pictures of intact unborn babies are carried as wallet pics by proud moms and dads. Clips of babies in motion in utero are commonly downloaded to smartphones and proudly shared.  But while showing many features, certainly the humanity, sonograms are a bit shadowy. Pictures of the unborn in greater detail using intrauterine fibre optic photography have been available for decades. They were available for years prior to the Roe V Wade decision and even published in popular journals when journalists were not as bent on the abortion license.  Other clinical pictures well-showed the fantastic development we all underwent in the womb. Some of those are posted below with approximate original publication dates.  The judges knew.

It wasn’t just Twitter that was censoring

It is quite a trip down liberal memory hole to read this Twitter related commentary by Kylee Zempel at The federalist. 100 Facts Elon Musk-Owned Twitter Should Now Allow People To Say Without Getting Banned.

Everyone of the matters listed in this rendering of topics that Twitter scrutinized , “disclaimered” and banned had facts, indeed overwhelming facts behind them.  Any presentation applying them to a policy position or critique deserved to be allowed on any “platform” protected by, immunized by, American law.

That they were not allowed or in any way inhibited should have blown any pretense and any legal protections the company had protecting it from or giving it any advantage or defense against being sued for defamation, incitements (leading to rioting by BLM and ANTIFA)  and falsities, that it did allow — leftist “truths.”

We know that the liberal press membership took to that medium because they could get away with even more of their false reporting and lies by omission. Under Musk they might still do so but they will hopefully no longer have the protection of not being challenged in a supposed open forum.

First District Republican Convention

Ironies abound — some observations later this week

So Happy Earth Day from The Big Guy

No not Hunter’s “Big Guy” . . . 

THE BIG GUY:

New American Standard Genesis 1

26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the (ak)sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the (al)sky and over every living thing that (am)moves on the earth.” 29 Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the (an)surface of all the earth, and every tree (ao)which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; 30 and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the (ap)sky and to every thing that (aq)moves on the earth (ar)which has life, I have given every green plant for food”; and it was so. 31 God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

King James Genesis 1

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. 31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Iowa Republican First District Platform preprint has nothing to say about Zuckerberg money

  • Amend First District Platform to include opposition to Zuckerberg type election heists   — look for a sign “oppose billionaires buying official election efforts” or related signature sheet. Individual delegates must sign on to the amendment before 11:00 AM.
  • Readers can follow this link to our posting of the Republican First District draft platform to be voted on this Saturday.

If readers can find something that even hints at something like ~~ no private money directed to official offices to influence official election duties~~ in the draft Republican First District platform please enlighten me. I will apologize and correct the record if I missed it in my perusal of it. See link.

Now this criticism is not to say that the draft does not cover a lot of bases important to conservatives. It does. For example, for me the right to  life issues will always be the sine qua non of the party platform —  and it is well covered in the draft. But it is not my only issue and I am glad that a number of timely issues are covered — if occasionally in my opinion clumsily drafted or inadequately prefaced.  And so it goes. But how in the heck was the CTCL/Zuckerberg/equivalent of election bribery (as per a Wisconsin judge) left out!?.

Given the extensive reporting of the matter in conservative circles and what should be the instincts of any informed delegate or other Republican office holder in response to the “progressive” pedigree of those pushing such largess and not understand it as anything other than to give them the ability to run a Democrat GOTV effort under official color and co-subsidized by any jurisdiction accepting such targeted grant — well it is just incredible.

One wonders if (charitably) the absence is an embarrassing oversight or the result of people afraid of embarrassing SOS Paul Pate who encouraged county auditors in 2020 to submit to the ruse. It cannot be that there was no example plank to work from by the District Platform Committee (typically composed of delegates from each county) because one such plank was part of the Scott County 2022 Platform. Section 10 , 12th item:

  • We Support banning private funding of our elections.

We note that the proposed First District platform has been added to extensively (but not enough) from the ridiculously scant 2020 effort. The fetish of platitudinal platforms does not do justice to issues or citizen involvement unique to caucus systems like we have in Iowa.

The failure to include such a plank opposing private funding of elections cannot be seriously justified as something the legislature is soon to take care of. All manner of planks might be dropped using that excuse and others are still included in the proposal even though they have been dealt with legislatively.  At this time an Iowa proscription on private money funneled through election officials has not been passed.  Referring to  HF2526 which includes a number of election related matters to the Iowa Code Sec 43.20 the “no private money provision” reads: (Bold our emphasis)

  Sec. 5.  NEW SECTION.  49.17  Conduct of elections — funding.
   271.  The state commissioner or a county commissioner or
28political subdivision of the state shall only accept funding
29from the following sources for the purposes of conducting an
30election:
   31a.  Lawful appropriations of public funds from the government
32of the United States.
   33b.  Lawful appropriations of public funds from the state of
34Iowa.
   35c.  Lawful appropriations of public funds from a political
-2-1subdivision of the state for the conduct of an election in the
2political subdivision.

The state commissioner, a county commissioner, or a
4 political subdivision of the state shall not accept or expend
5 a grant, gift, or other source of funding from a source other
6 than those listed in subsection 1, including from a private
7 person, corporation, partnership, political party, nonparty
8 political organization, committee as defined in section
9 68A.102, or other organization for the purpose of conducting
10 an election.
11 3. This section does not prohibit the state commissioner or
12 a county commissioner or political subdivision from issuing and
13 collecting fees as otherwise provided by law.
14 4. This section does not apply to the contribution of a
15 building for use as a polling place pursuant to section 49.21.

I plan to attend the District Convention (I am not a delegate) but hope to be able to circulate or induce a delegate to circulate an amendment to the platform addressing the “Zuckerberg money” issue.  If you are attending please support the effort. If others have taken this up then I would support that effort instead.

There are other matters the platform misses that I hope are addressed as amendments. In the draft, nothing is said about a number of current items that ought to be addressed including, in this time of food insecurity and great inflation, the use of corn acreage for ethanol instead of food, the boondoggle of wind farms.

While there is a resolution calling for public neutrality by RPI Central Committee members regarding primary candidates and presidential caucuses, implicating such activity as untoward, there is nothing to chastise Republican office holders for their failures to support and even opposition to platform planks.

Paul Pate ought to be held in contempt for his promoting of CTCL money knowing the pedigree of the proponents.

And I do not think it is just me in considering that Chuck Grassley’ and the entire Iowa congressional delegation were as weak as they could be regarding the election fraud of 2020 and their pathetic statements regarding the events of January 6, 2021 parroting distortions and beltway thumb-sucking about an overwhelmingly peaceful demonstration.

By January 6, observation of the general election results of 2020 exhibited strong compelling video and other evidence including sworn testimony regarding fraudulent activity using mechanisms or a frequency that could produce large numbers of illegal votes, extreme violations of transparency inimical to confidence in the vote, executive enactments in violation of state constitutions, incredible anomalies and patterns in key states sufficient to alter electoral college outcomes. That the Iowa delegation in Congress saw their only role in the matter of election integrity as the ministerial rubber-stamping of something so suspect, so engendering of division, it was unbecoming of this great republic and the history and laws of this land.

Such a failure to take any action to merely delay the counting of electoral ballots pending an audit and for state legislatures to come into session and examine how valid the vote was in their states as submitted by Senators Cruz, Cotton and other senators well versed in the Constitution, federal regulations and American history — gave all appearances of ushering in the most damaging subversive governing regime possible.

And pardon my further venting from these pages:

Miller-Meeks votes to go along with Pelosi January 6th commission

 

Marco Rubio’s scathing commentary about Jan. 6 inquisition bill Miller-Meeks supported

Will Senators Grassley and Ernst apologize for parroting lies and spin about Jan 6th

Sen. Ernst issued an ahistorical near hysterical screed in response to Jan. 6 mostly peaceful demonstration

If this information and analysis (see links) does not put the skids on Jan 6th proforma certification of electors, then we are doomed as a republic.

What are your views on what US should do regarding Russia/Ukraine

Here is one concern:

Ukraine? “Not our problem”, Tucker Carlson, and, some others on the right seem to be saying…what do you think?    dlh

(‘Maybe Putin will settle for the Sudetenland’; where have I heard something similar to that?)

THANK GOD, IT’S JUST A ‘MINOR INCURSION’!; (Just Ask the Folks at Mariupol)


“Russia will be held accountable if it invades, and it depends on what it does,” Biden said, when asked how he would hold Russia accountable for an invasion.
“It’s one thing if it’s a minor incursion, and then we end up having a fight about what to do and not do, et cetera.(uttered by our president, days before the Russian invasion of Ukraine).

Six Details from Judge Mizelle’s Mask Mandate Ruling — CCHF

In an e-mail today this summary of the main points of the US District Judges ruling invalidating the mask mandates issued by the CDC.  It is by  Twila Brase, RN, PHN President and Co-founder of Citizens Council for Health Freedom (CCHF).  Meme items imparted by V’PAC our collection and do not necessarily represent the views of CHF or Judge Mizelle.

I have read U.S. District Court Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle’s excellent decision against the Biden mask mandate for travel, which went into effect late Monday night. The TSA says they will not enforce the mask mandate, and every airline says face masks are now optional.

The U.S. Department of Justice, which appealed the ruling yesterday, said on April 19, “The Department continues to believe that the order requiring masking in the transportation corridor is a valid exercise of the authority Congress has given CDC to protect the public health. That is an important authority the Department will continue to work to preserve.”

This is a lie. The CDC has no such authority to preserve. In a 59-page ruling, Judge Mizelle clarifies:

• WRONG DEFINITION: Despite CDC claims that the 70-year-old Public Health Services Act [PHSA] permitting sanitation gives it authority to mask the public, Judge Mizelle said sanitation is limited to cleaning tangible items, not covering people’s mouths.
• WRONG LEGAL BASIS: While the CDC has the right to detain and quarantine people entering the U.S., the law doesn’t give it the power to conditionally release Americans to travel within the U.S., dependent on the wearing of a mask.
• OUT OF BOUNDS: The CDC found “a power over public health” that is “a function of state police power” despite there being no indication that Congress “intended for the CDC to invade the traditionally State-operated arena of population-wide, preventative public-health regulations.”
• VIOLATED ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES ACT (APA): “The CDC did not allow for public participation through notice and comment before issuing the Mask Mandate.” Judge Mizelle said the CDC’s single sentence, claiming Covid as their “good cause” rationale for forgoing public participation, was “insufficient.”
• ARBITRARY AND CAPRICIOUS MANDATE: The CDC exempts individuals who are “eating, drinking, or taking medication” from the mandate, and children under two years old. The judge notes, “The Mandate makes no effort to explain why its purposes – prevention of transmission and serious illness – allow for such exceptions.”
• MY FAVORITE PART OF THE RULING: “Since the CDC did not explain its decision to compromise the effectiveness of its Mandate by including exceptions or its decision to limit those exceptions, the Court cannot conclude that the CDC ‘articulated a rational connection between the facts found and the choices made.’” [emphasis mine.]

Compromise indeed. At snack time mid-flight, it is somehow OK for all 300 airline passengers to be mask-free. This exception demonstrates a serious lack of seriousness. Americans could have stopped playing make-believe, but as Judge Mizelle said, this mandate was not without harm. Those who refused could be fined, kicked off planes, grounded for life, shamed, and humiliated.

To try to retain the CDC’s power to mask you at will, the DOJ has appealed the ruling. This is a fight they must lose and we must win. The mask is a sign of their power over you—and your submission. Rejoice in the courage and rightful ruling of Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle. Then resolve to never submit again.

Grateful for freedom,

Beware of the Judicial Virus of Nationwide Injunctions by District Courts

To the great relief of normal people, mask mandates for passengers traveling on domestic carriers(probably any carrier traversing embarking disembarking in the US) have been ruled unlawful as they are a regulatory overreach by agencies of government.  The gist of the federal district court ruling out of Florida’s which has been issued and now observed  as a national injunction is that agencies issuing and enforcing the edict had every opportunity to go through normal processes prior to issuing regulations rather than using any emergency authority. They did not and that is unlawful.

The Constitution and laws of the land cannot be suspended by bureaucrats or an administration in claimed times of an emergency when timely mechanisms exist to follow established lawful procedures have been ignored.  The edicts related to the COVID 19 / Wuhan flu have generally been an egregious assault on human and constitutional rights.

We excerpt an Epoch Times article regarding the ruling which includes a link to the full opinion of the judge.  However we feel compelled to  address the issue of the ability of Federal Districts courts to issue nationwide injunctions. It is a more modern “progressive” judicial activist legal phenomenon that has been going on for decades and is generally suspect. It tends to invite judge shopping for one thing.  We wonder what happens if a district judge in another appellate jurisdiction or even the same one issues an  opinion with the opposite legal effect. Is every district judge a Supreme Court for the day??

There may be judicial canons that inhibit certain applications or guide applicability. We presume the Florida judges actions are within such acceptability. We want to emphasize the judge made the right call and with intellectual authority.  That the Biden Administration didn’t immediately issue a commitment to appeal the judges ruling is telling.  Making noise is not the same thing.

We now see that the Biden corruption (our word for the Resident Biden apparat, (also note use of  “resident” instead of “president”) has decided to appeal the ruling but without requesting a stay. If the mask mandate was really so compelling from a health standpoint why not pursue an immediate stay?  The answer is because they know it is not and mask mandates are deeply unpopular with normal people. The politics leading up to the midterms  are that they want this irritant off the table ASAP and the optics of defending the dropping of  Title 42 regarding illegal immigrants – the pandemic restriction at the US border – removing a restriction on admission of invaders — no worries about COVID with them —  but travel restrictions for citizens was a bit too much even for Biden people.  They do want the power to issue mandates at will, and that is the reason for the appeal without the stay demand.

Federal Judge Strikes Down CDC Mask Mandate for Planes, Travel

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) mask mandate for airplanes and other forms of public transportation was struck down on April 18 by a federal judge.

U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle said the CDC rule exceeded the agency’s statutory authority because its implementation violated administrative law. Mizelle, a Trump appointee based in Florida, directed the agency to reverse the policy nationwide in response to a lawsuit filed by the Health Freedom Defense Fund.

The CDC violated the Administrative Procedure Act because it didn’t give notice before imposing the mandate in February 2021, Mizelle wrote in a 59-page summary judgment.

“At the time when the CDC issued the mandate, the COVID-19 pandemic had been ongoing for almost a year and COVID-19 cases were decreasing,” she wrote. “This timing undercuts the CDC’s suggestion that its action was so urgent that a thirty-day comment period was contrary to the public interest. So too, the CDC’s delay in issuing the mandate further undercuts its position.”

Public comment, in this case, is necessary, the judge wrote, because the mandate would “constrain their choices and actions via threats and civil and criminal penalties.”

Mizelle also found that the mandate, which was imposed in February 2021, exceeded the CDC’s statutory authority.

The agency had claimed that the Public Health Services Act of 1944 gave it the power to regulate travelers, but the judge disagreed, finding that the law only grants the agency the ability “to directly regulate individuals only if they are traveling into the United States from abroad or are ‘reasonably believed to be infected with a communicable disease in a qualifying stage.’”

The CDC and the White House didn’t respond to requests for comment.

It’s not clear if the Department of Justice will try to file an appeal or how quickly the ruling will be implemented across the United States, namely at airports. Several weeks ago, the CDC announced that it would extend the mask mandate until at least May 3, despite calls from airline companies and groups to end the policy

The judge’s decision is yet another blow to the Biden administration’s COVID-19 mandates. Earlier this year, the Supreme Court struck down an Occupational Safety and Health Administration rule directing tens of millions of workers at larger private companies to receive vaccines, but left intact a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services rule requiring health care workers to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.

Other CDC orders issued during the COVID-19 pandemic have also been struck down by judges, including an eviction moratorium and an order pertaining to cruises.

“Before COVID, the CDC had really played more of a background role, a sort of advise and consent role to the state public health authorities. It had never before sort of come to the forefront of a public health situation and said we’re going to dictate, directly dictate how people can conduct themselves and how people can use their property. And that was really unprecedented,” Brant Hadaway, an attorney for the plaintiffs in the mask mandate case, told The Epoch Times.

“And so the pattern is really that when a federal agency, which is part of the executive branch of government, suddenly starts claiming newfound powers in a statute that has existed for decades, the courts are going to take a close look at that. And that’s what the courts have been doing.”   . . .

Term limits please

It has been said that politics is war conducted by other means.  I think maybe it ought to be thought of as such — not the bloody part and only assuming proper sides and a republic as the playing field.  One reason often given for opposing term limits is that mature experienced politicians are likely to compromise, supposedly for the good of the country. But looking at the results from perpetual office holders compromise has not had a whole lot to recommend it given the leviathan created under its guise. Compromise is more like a irreversible ratchet for more government and bureaucracy.   The longer the “mature seasoned adults” are in the embrace of the beltway (and themselves) it seems government just keeps getting bigger — more programs — less freedoms.  Term limits can help to cut the tentacles / grabasstic* impulses of the swamp denizens.  The picture above could have come from a National Geographic issue showing the procreators of the leviathan. It depicts what goes on when supposed “opposites” (liberals and conservatives) hang around together a lot.

And this is their offspring:
