Sunday, 1/17/2021, the FCC issued a message to all amateur radio operators warning them not to use their equipment or the airways for "criminal activities". One must assume they fear HAM operators organizing a revolt.

This is not the behavior of a campaign that "won" a fair and free election.

I never received any such message and even if I did I’d probably ignore it.


Apparently, several received it from the ARRL. I did not either, but read accounts and saw a copy of the message. I haven't had my radio on lately as I have been busy with other things.

This is news to me, too. There has been some pro Trump chatter on SB, VHF/UHF bands, but nothing I would consider to be inflammatory.

Absolutely not!
He made his choice along with Lindsey Graham and many others.

They should no longer be welcome in any party except for the Socialist/Democrat party.

Never again, shall we tolerate flip flopping.

Was reading a review of HR McMaster's new book Battlegrounds in an older edition of the National Review last night and it mentioned his assessment of CCP SOP: coopt, coerce and conceal.

"In the book, McMaster brings more insight to this evolving challenge. He persuasively describes China’s strategy as one of “cooption, coercion, and concealment.” In other words, the Chi­nese Communist Party (CCP) uses its influence to co-opt foreign governments and firms, exploits this interdependence to coerce them into doing China’s bidding, and then uses lies and subter­fuge to conceal that it is doing any such thing. China’s growing geopolitical influence through its Belt and Road Initiative, a series of major overseas infra­structure investments, is a good example of this approach."

Might have to check this book out. McMaster was one of the few former Trump admin higher ups that didnt write some gossipy tell all book, but he was fairly critical of him a couple days ago on CNN (fuck you Jake Tapper).

On yet another backstabbing rino - the Wyoming Republican Party is rightfully not happy with Liz Cheney.


Liz Cheney Censured in Wyoming for Violating ‘Trust of Her Voters’

The Central Committee of the Carbon County Republican Party in Wyoming announced Sunday it had formally censured Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) for voting in favor of impeaching President Donald Trump last week.

Cheney, the House Republican Conference chair, has received blowback after being the highest-ranking Republican of ten who broke with the party by voting last Wednesday to impeach Trump for his alleged role in the deadly U.S. Capitol riot that took place earlier this month.

In its censure resolution, the Carbon County GOP admonished Cheney for voting without sufficient evidence.

The resolution stated:

Representative Cheney has violated the trust of her voters, failed to faithfully represent a very large majority of motivated Wyoming voters, and neglected her duty to represent the party and the will of the people who elected her to represent them.

The resolution from the 45-member group passed unanimously. Carbon County GOP chair Joey Correnti wrote on Facebook, “We have called for her to appear before the members of the body to explain her recent actions to the body, the State Republican Party membership, and the entirety of the concerned Wyoming electorate.”
On Thursday, the state Republican Party published a scathing list of issues it, too, had with Cheney’s vote, writing that “there has not been a time during our tenure when we have seen this type of an outcry from our fellow Republicans, with the anger and frustration being palpable in the comments we have received.”

In addition to the criticism from her state, several colleagues, including Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Andy Biggs (R-AZ), and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), lashed out at Cheney over her decision, calling for her to resign from her House Republican Conference chair position. “We ought to have a second vote,” Jordan, the House Freedom Caucus chair, said. “The conference ought to vote on that.”

Cheney has rejected such calls, saying, “I’m not going anywhere,” according to Politico, but the outlet reported Wednesday that as many as half of the House Republican Conference members would consider voting to oust her from her leadership role.

Donald Trump is not a politician, he is a leader, politicians are a dime a dozen, leaders are priceless.

And yet, we are STILL supposed to support the republicans, since they are the only chance we have to counter the dems?

Every day, I am finding fewer and fewer reasons to EVER vote "R" again. . .

It has been posited that the second impeachment is not about President Trump at all, but about splitting the “Trumpers” from the Republican Party, as neither the “Trumpers” not the Republican establishment can beat the Democrats on their own. If those of us who support President Trump throw a big FU to the Republican Party and leave in a huff, the Democrats win.

I’d suggest that the better approach is to get involved on a grassroots level, identify and support true conservative candidates, and METAPHORICALLY run the RINOs out of town on a rail. Don’t leave the party, take it over. That is what President Trump did to get elected. Sadly, he didn’t have a tight enough hold on the party to count on its support when he needed it this time, but that’s how he got elected in 2016. We just need to be more thorough in crushing ALL the RINOs in the primaries.

If the message changes, I am more than willing to never vote Republican again.

But, the current position is to Take Back the Republican Party as stated by Donald Trump Jr.

We need term limits. Short ones. They enter as dems or rep but end up swamp creatures if they stay long enough. Every single one of them. You need to keep repopulating to keep it fresh and a little more honest.

The dims will Cloward-Piven their own sorry asses, expect that and have things in place to pick up the pieces. This is all contingent on the dims not eating each other alive beforehand as they scramble for their slices of the pie. How can they not fail, more than half the country wants none of what the dims have to offer.

You guys are forgetting who controls the primary process in most states....The RINO's will never let themselves be run out of the party because like their Democrat brethren, they will maintain a death grip on every aspect of the primary, including who will or will not be put on the roster. Here in Virginia, they'll be picking candidates by convention rather than by primary for 2021. Who wants to bet that only the RINO types make it in there? I'm so fed up with the party that I spoke to my county chair and told her that there is only one way for me to come back. A purge of epic proportions. There needs to be a cleansing of everyone that has ever been involved in a business deal or politics around the Clintons. The amount of dirt that they must have accumulated over decades has to be mountainous!
