SATURDAY CARTOONS: ET TU, PENCE?: JANUARY 9, 2021

D

Donald Trump's immediate future; damn them all. Betrayed by everyone around him; he needs support and love from his base. Love him or hate him, he cared and was the most exciting president in many many decades. No one deserves what has been done to him over the past four years; imagine his successes if these enemies had not made his destruction their only raison d'etre, preventing him from his goals.

 

Actually all politicians use these tricks. I remember first noticing them with Bill Clinton; things became more obvious with Baby Bush.

TEST

This woman also had all the portapotties removed from where they had been placed in preparation for the crowds. There was definitely leftist (Democratic) collusion to make this event as difficult as possible for the Trumpers. 

 

 

 

 

This chap has been arrested already for the crime of relaxing in Nancy Pelosi's chair.

And there would be fires, smoke, ambulances and broken glass all around the city.

Of course no destruction of violence would be the best possible scenario. However, where was the media if not cheering along the cancel culture Marxist mobs as historical statues were destroyed around the nation?

Do you really think these people of the left will suddenly become all loving and friendly in the name of "healing the rift"?

Wisdom from Stilton:

Ashli Babbitt was 35 years old when she was murdered in Washington, DC. She was shot down by "law enforcement" for being in the wrong place at a very wrong time. She was unarmed, not threatening anyone, and she wasn't even specifically targeted by the shooter, who simply fired through a door (as Joe Biden recommends we all do) into a crowd of people. 

Ashli Babbitt was a 14-year veteran of the US Air Force, and had served four foreign military tours, including to Iraq and Afghanistan. She was a Trump supporter who believed that the November presidential election was fraud-ridden and deserved a real investigation. But no such investigation was going to happen because the powers-that-be didn't want it. Not Democrats, not Republicans, not the Supreme Court, and certainly not the media.

And so Ashli was among the hundreds of thousands of Americans who came to Washington to protest on January 6th. Not to commit the acts of violence, looting, and destruction that have swept our nation over the past year (to the unanimous praise of those on the Left), but rather to carry a simple message to the power elite: "We deserve to be heard." And that message got her executed in "the people's house."

To hear the media tell it, a bloody revolution attempt took place in the streets and corridors of Washington DC on that day. Those on the Left claim to be horrified at the indiscriminate violence which resulted in...some broken windows. Although, unlike when the Left is "demonstrating," once those windows were broken, no molotov cocktails were thrown through them.

Ashli Babbitt went to Washington for all of us who believe that the election was a fraud and a farce, and who want nothing other than a rigorous investigation to determine if America still has free elections. She died in that pursuit, and this honored military veteran is already being demonized by the history-spinners as a rioter, terrorist, and traitor. No mayor will paint "HER LIFE MATTERED" in the streets of Washington DC.

She deserves better. Although we find the comparison distasteful, Ashli Babbitt should become the Right's new "George Floyd." Albeit not someone with a criminal history who died clumsily by their own hand out of a fondness for street drugs, but someone who died fulfilling an oath she once took to protect the Constitution of the United States.

UPDATE: Subsequent to writing the above, I've learned of the deaths of two law enforcement officers involved in this disastrous fracas. Their loss is tragic and reprehensible. That being said, I personally believe that the deliberate violence was instigated by planted operatives from the far left. Do I have proof? No, and I don't expect any to be forthcoming. But I know how "their side" and "our side" have acted in the past. I have no doubt that 99% of the protestors were peaceful patriots. Sadly, that's not what the history books are going to say.

----------

On a personal note, I have to confess that this is a very confusing and unpleasant time. When I look at my personal Facebook feed, I see my "friends" declaring outrage and revulsion at an "attempted violent coup." They don't seem to have noticed that much of the violence was perpetrated against the demonstrators, nor have they accounted for the fact that this "revolution" ended when all of the protestors peacefully went home, rather than taking a celebratory looting lap of local stores or setting police cars (and officers) on fire.

I don't hate these people. I know them to be good and well-intended (and yes, I know where that road leads) ~ but they accept all of the media's lies unblinkingly, voracious in their desire to hate and to thereby feel good about themselves. And I'm not happy about the fact that I have to wonder if these people are actually still my friends at all. Should they learn my political leanings, they would cut me out of their lives in a heartbeat ~ not because of who I am, but because of what they've been told they should believe about who I am. And in my own mind, I still think of these people as friends even though their misguided beliefs are as odious as any which ever allowed a fascist regime to rise to power. They are my "friends" because I still choose to think of them that way while hoping (but not holding my breath) for their eventual enlightenment.

Right now, there is no source of news I fully trust. None. There are individuals in the media whom I still believe to be honest, but even they have to interpret information that may or may not be true.

And it's weighing on me that we're heading into a very tough four years ~ or longer. I'm not optimistic about midterms, or any other election unless there's a true reckoning over the abuses of this past election cycle. A supermajority of Dems is about to embark on the most radical shift in America's course that we've ever seen. Freedoms will fall, economies will falter, and "thoughtcrime" will be severely punished ~ which is particularly threatening to those of us who just can't seem to give up the habit of thinking.

That being said, all is not lost.

Over 70 million Americans voted to continue the progress made during the Trump administration. Progress that lifted every race, gender, faith, and economic class. Those people still want what's best for America and Americans... all Americans. And a majority of these people believe that the election was stolen.

These tens of millions of people will peacefully do everything in their power to right the wrongs being visited upon us. How best to do that remains to be seen, but even as the Tea Party bloomed into spontaneous (and politically effective) life, so will a new movement. Which I, personally, can't wait to join.

Antifa and BLM. Crisis actors. Activists of the Marxist persuasion. The yahoo in the fur hat is a crisis actor and he got to make a mockery of the United States around the world with just a little face paint and a set of horns. A guy whose body is covered in ink the way a Grade 4 student's notebook is covered in doodles. His outrageous behaviour while not violent was widely circulated. Most of these images should enlarge significantly.

DOZENS of medium sized white and black buses all lining the street. DOZENS. Cars like the above quite present. Something else to make you go "Hmmmm."

Trust HuffPo

Chunky boi beside him has the hammer and sickle tatted on his hand.

Not exactly a scene of violence. But rude and staged for maximum theatrical effect.

I heard this as I was driving through the downtown. No joke, I screamed at him to shut his smarmy lying mouth up! Then I had to take control of my driving again.... The hypocrisy is just so over the top.

One of the cringiest moments in American history.

Speaking of the Nashville explosion....

There has to be quite the story behind this.

Just gonna drop this schnoz right here.

Don't complain folks. Now this is harsh work.

THIS is just beyond belief!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Eh tu, Pence?"

I have asked folks this question many times. All I get is a blank look. Shouldn't we be burning them?

So now, do these images from the Denver Airport begin to make a little more sense?

Gates loves this book; works from it; recommends it to many. Hmmmmmmm.

That newborn is now 38 and lives on the other side of the globe. Yes, that is me, aged 34, red hair and all, in another lifetime with so much ahead to explore. Circa July 1981. As for political commentary, at the moment I am too shell-shocked to say much at all. As much as I complain about Canadian politics, at the moment, seeing what is coming in to run America, I am glad to be where I am, imperfect as things might be at this time. 

 

May God have mercy on all of us now that America has fallen; she needs our prayers and hope more than every before. 

 

And if you want to really "get" to the truths of what is going on, check out that blog roll on my Right. And also, listen to The Ugly Truth and hear who and what are behind all of the difficulties facing America today.  Jon Rapoport. A lot of information there for you to work with. 

 

Meanwhile, try to take it easy and find a way to make things work as best you can. Remember this is a spiritual war; just keep fighting. It is all we can do to save our very souls and, hopefully, those of our children's children.
