Going back even further, there's a book called Unintended Consequences. Might have been some of that in there, too.
UC has 3 main Parts, and Part 3 is all over individual action.

Based on mental acuity, and associations with various individuals (incl Hunter), I think it's Biden that should be barred from intel briefings.

The problem is that "we" are alone, unlike the French Resistance, who had allies. There's no ally or superpower coming to save us, if we can just hold out for a while.

It's a conundrum. The Republican party, at least the establishment national party, has become part of the uni-party. Part of the problem. Part of the reason why We the People turned to an outsider like Trump to begin with.
But if we completely abandon the party and the organization at every local level, are we just abandoning the political sphere and surrendering to our enemies?
There's no easy answer.
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Only a very thorough draining of the swamp will do what needs doing! And as long as so many people in this country are willing to do what is necessary to keep the free shit flowing, nothing will change. Or maybe it will, just get worse. The republican party has lost its way, and is being led down that garden path by those who will do only what keeps them in the money and power streams.

I don't believe they're being led anywhere. The swampers on the right are just as entrenched as those on the left. They like the sugar just as much as the democRATs.

Surely you don't mean SUSAN Collins, of Maine? Did I miss something? Has she recanted her World-Class RINO status?

Genevieve Collins, Texas?
Both Republicans, both defeated in 2020.

When do the new numbers come out for each states electoral votes from the 2020 census. I read somewhere that Texas should pick up 2 or more votes and California will most likely loose some. This is all based on the influx and exodus of populations. We know Cali has lost a few people, and Texas has gained a good amount.
Will try to find the article but I think it was back in November when I saw it.
So the goal posts will move a little bit once these numbers come out.
It's all about clean living. Just do the right thing, and karma will help with the rest.

4 pages back (#706) it was briefly discussed. It is a worthwhile view although frustrating in the fact that nothing will most likely come of the fraud.

I watched the 2 hour video and what peaked my interest was at approx 1:36 they showed the forensic evidence of the hacking that was done from outside the USA. It contained the day and time, IP source, Mac Address source, target IP, target Mac address, etc how many votes were changed, etc. I took a screenshot of one and decided to see if the IP address of the source of the hacking corresponded to what they said and it did !!! I did several other checks and they were also correct. Many of these were from China. This may be the smoking gun / Kraken that was mentioned. However my opinion this shows that the corruption is so large and deep in our own government that no judge wants to tackle this case. If anyone wants me to email them the screenshot so they can post it, let me know. God Bless
"Always legally conceal carry. At the right place and time, one person can make a positive difference."
Companion piece to the Time Magazine opinion piece is this opinion that analyzes Time’s article and critically examines what it says.
quote:
In a surprisingly brazen article, “The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election,” Time magazine chronicles a myriad of pre- and post-election actions taken by a loose coalition of Democratic operatives, grassroots activists, mainstream media, tech companies, and corporate CEOs before and after the 2020 presidential election.
According to the article, the effort consisted of “a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information.”
Check out the site. It is the full TV release of hard evidence of the election fraud!
Unless, "they" have blocked it.
Just checked it, and it is still working.

Not entirely sure this is the right place, but...
I have what is possibly a stupid question/idea.
Another board suggested dropping DJT a thank you note for all he did for us as President. I like the idea but I have some reservations.
1. The odds of DJT, or even his staff, actually READING a few hundred thousand notes are essentially zero IMHO.
2. The address give is C/O Mar-a-Lago, blah, blah, Palm Beach Florida. I wonder about that.
So, is this a juvenile, feather-headed idea or might it actually be appreciated?

I think its a great idea, and sending it to Mar-a-Lago is the best place
apparently one of the locals was trying to get him and Melania tossed out of the community saying that he can't live at his own place due to some twisted ordinance thats not enforceable

Great idea PHPaul Hopefully, a postal worker doesn’t deep six your thank you note. Good move!
