What did they think was going to happen when they stole a national election? It only gets more intense from here.
This is just the beginning.
I don’t know much about this, haven’t fisked it yet, and cannot vouch for its pedigree. A reader sends this in. This will probably be taken off of Twitter. Thus, the entire file can be heard here.

The Arizona Republic says Trump did.
Donald Trump is the most unconventional president we ever elected, so it comes as no surprise he’s doing something wildly unconventional as he leaves office.
He’s starting a civil war. In his own party.
This won’t topple our republic, because Trump doesn’t command enough Republican support in state and federal governments to create a real crisis. Democracy is holding fast against his legal and extra-legal attempts to reverse the election.
The latest test of America’s tensile strength comes from Georgia, where Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger exposed Trump’s tawdry threat against him because Raffensperger refused to help the president overturn Biden’s victory in that state.
Because the president has no shame, he has chosen to try to tear down the citadel on the way out. He has recruited Republican members of Congress and the U.S. Senate to formally object to the Electoral College count. Some 100-150 House members and at least 12 senators have announced they will support the president’s gambit.
That still leaves about one-fourth of the GOP caucus in the House and three-fourths in the Senate who are expected to join Democrats and crush this insurrection. Trump’s gambit is “the political equivalent of barking at the moon,” said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill.
But the damage to the Republican Party will be substantial. Trump’s post-election plotting imperils the election of two Republicans running for U.S. Senate in the Georgia runoff. If they both go down, Democrats will control the U.S. Senate, House and White House. Goodbye, divided government.
Many Republicans have warned this could happen. If it does, Trump will be to blame and the more mannered Republicans will have a powerful argument for weakening his grip on the party.
[ … ]
The party will and should pay a price for nominating and electing Trump to the White House. His four years of erratic governance cost him reelection, and his destructive final days will likely cost Republicans many elections to come.
Meanwhile the disparate parts of the party will battle over its future when Trump is gone. What does conservatism mean in our modern world? What are its core principles?
Trump, to quote Robert Oppenheimer’s timeless recitation from the Bhagavad-Gita, is “The destroyer of worlds.” He has laid waste to the American political landscape. The Reagan Revolution is over. The conservative party will never be the same.
True to form, this progressive is about 100 years behind. They still think Trump was the cause rather than the effect.
This civil war is a product of completely disparate world and life views, irreconcilable differences, and polar opposite value systems. The long march of Marxism through the institutions did its damage, but only after several generations.
The rejection of God, the killing of 70 million unborn babies, the theft of the national treasury, debt, deficit spending, foreign misadventures, corruption in all of the highest offices of the land, largesse to elected officials, a porous Southern border, the destruction of the middle class with taxes to support socialized medicine, subsidies and other wealth redistribution schemes, bills always bundled with spending on foreign countries and pet projects, corrupt judges and justices, militarized police, the creation of fatherless inner city families due to welfare and incentives for inner city women to have out-of-wedlock children, and on and on the horrible list could go.
These are the things traditional Americans see when they vote, and voting in the 2020 election has proven to be an ineffective amelioration of the problems. Given Trump’s inability to see the deep state actors with whom he surrounded himself, it isn’t obvious that the election would have made much difference anyway. From the beginning, most voters thought that Trump would supply four more badly needed years, and may in fact do a little damage to the deep state and bureaucratic controllers. The four years obtained, while the damage to the bureaucracy did not.
You see, Mr. Phil Boas, Trump wasn’t the beginning of anything. He was the last shot at avoiding the break, the schism, the trouble to come. He was supposed to be a solution, if God would be so gracious to grant it. God has not decided to do things that way.
So be it. The republican party that you and its leadership in the halls of power want to return to normal won’t – ever again. There will be no heeling, no getting back in line, no return to the days of simple acquiescence to the GOP moving to the left as the democrats move to the left, hoping that voting for the GOP is the least worse option.
Things are too far along for that. The world as you know it has changed, and you are one hundred years behind the times. Do try to catch up. Trump didn’t cause this. Your ilk did. And you and your ilk will be the legatee of what’s happened. There can be no peace between us.
Soldiering via the police. Let me see your papers! Where has that expression been used before?

News from North of the border.
Yesterday evening, all six of the elders of Trinity Bible Chapel were charged under Section 10.1 of the Reopening Ontario Act (ROA) for holding church services on Sunday, December 27. We are peaceful family men seeking to pastorally care for our families and our church in sincere obedience to God. We are not criminals. Officers from the Waterloo Region Police Service (WRPS) showed up at each of our homes last night at roughly 8pm and gave us each a summons to court. While other pastors in Ontario have faced similar charges under the ROA for holding church services, to our knowledge this is the first time that each and every member of an entire elders board has been charged for gathering a church to worship. Although we know of officers within the WRPS who personally disagree with these charges, it appears the WRPS is trying to make an example of us. For years we have taught our children to respect police, and now our children and grandchildren are witness to their fathers and grandfathers receiving charges from police for worshipping Christ with our church. It is a dark day for Waterloo Region and Ontario.
Since we decided to re-open the church in June, implementing various COVID protocols in our services, we have not had a single outbreak traced back to our church. We thank God for that. Instead, we have heard a plethora of stories from many of our congregants about how they were negatively affected spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and financially during the first lockdown. On December 3, we informed our governing authorities that we cannot shut down the church again in an open letter entitled, “Here we Stand: The Church Must Meet.”[1] Not one of our officials replied with an attempt to work with us. Our church community has become a vital refuge for hundreds of people during these times of despair. Our government is destroying our society to prevent the spread of a virus with a fraction of a fractional death rate.[2] This is evil. Nowhere does the Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantee freedom from risk or virus, but it does protect the freedom of conscience, religion, belief, and assembly.[3] These are unlawful laws, a violation of God given rights, a contravention of Section 176 of the Criminal Code, and an infringement of the Charter.
We have ancestors who fought in wars to protect us from state abuses of this nature, and many of our families fled police states that eerily resemble what we are being subjected to at the present. Our high school teachers, parents, and grandparents warned us against governments that act this way.
While we seek to honour and pray for our governing officials, we are also grieved over the apparent hypocrisy and arbitrary applications of law. Several politicians have been caught violating their own laws by visiting cottages, hosting gatherings, or jaunting to warmer climates. Our very own Chief of Police, Brian Larkin, publicly endorsed much larger public gatherings in June. While Ontarians were restricted to outdoor gatherings of 5 or less persons, the Chief of Police offered the “full support” to a protest in which the “crowd may have been between 12,000 and 20,000 strong.”[4] Chief Larkin explained to participants, even as they contravened lockdown orders, that police “will ensure you have the support needed to practice your democratic right and have your voice heard.”[5] The arbitrary rule of law is dangerous even as it is contrary to our inherited values.
Our Saviour shed His blood to purchase the church, and therefore deeming the church “unessential” is tantamount to deeming the blood of Christ unessential, which is a public act of blasphemy.
Yes it is of course blasphemous, what they’re doing. Jesus is Lord. The state must bow to king Jesus.
But while I don’t take issue with this pastor’s heart, I think he may misunderstand things. When the state declares you a criminal, you’re a criminal. Embrace it. You’re a peaceable man, and maybe that’s what you mean. But you’re now a criminal.
Be a criminal for Christ. I’ve said before that pastors who defy the state must be ready to put his hands behind his back, be cuffed, and sent to prison. Either that or fight back.
This tactic represents the next step in statism. It isn’t just the church, administratively, or corporately. The church isn’t just fined, or doors nailed shut. They are going after Christians individually and personally.
Be prepared. They are engaged in warfare against you.
From a reader, this report from Portland (which you will not hear from the legacy media, at least, not honestly).
A group of guards watch the entrance to a barricaded section of road in North Portland. They’re armed, masked, and dressed in black—from their balaclavas to their boots to their bulletproof vests. It’s intimidating, but they’re also laughing with each other, which gives the barricade a feeling similar to entering a nightclub. Can you walk in or will the bouncer tell you to scram?
It’s actually a site of protest and siege: what the guards will later name the Red House Eviction Defense, or RHED. It takes the shape of a series of street obstructions that cut off three blocks of road from regular car and foot traffic. At the center of the blockades stands the Kinney family home—known as the “Red House on Mississippi”—home to a Black Afro-Indigenous family for three generations.
For six days, the activists guarding the gates have defied City Hall, chased off police, and captured national attention by occupying these blocks in a campaign to defend the three-bedroom house from seizure due to foreclosure.
They argue the foreclosure resulted from confusing, predatory lending practices and is the latest case of racist gentrification in the historically Black neighborhood of Albina. They also entered a fraught Kinney family legal saga that included reports of animal abuse on the property and the eldest son’s assertion that he is a “sovereign citizen” outside the reach of the U.S. court system.
The eviction defense was a remarkable escalation in activist tactics—the seizing of a residential neighborhood by an armed resistance to the legal system. By Dec. 13, it appeared to have worked: The Kinney family raised enough money to buy back the house, and Mayor Ted Wheeler brokered a deal to remove the barricades.
For five nights, Portland’s attention was fixed on this intersection. It was easy enough to walk through, but the armed guards deterred many. On any given night there were between 100 and 200 people inside the campground. We were two of them.
On this night, the blockade is brand new. Mississippi is blocked at its intersection with North Skidmore by tall, improvised fences of wood, furniture and scrap metal. Farther in, similar structures stand, suggesting fortifications for tactical retreat. Czech hedgehogs (six-armed metal posts that are difficult to drive over) and spike strips (planks with nails sticking through them) lie scattered across the asphalt to impede barricade-busting vehicles. There are more blockades to the east and to the west, one block out on either side, with checkpoints at every entry.
Expecting a morning raid by Portland police, a small crowd begins to gather before dawn by an inner barricade. Most of the activists are still asleep, many on miscellaneous mattresses close to the barricades.
Some of the awake activists are making coffee, surrounded by helmeted members of Portland’s independent press, who have covered protests for months. A figure in black approaches the press. “If you don’t want your camera smashed, you should leave,” he says.
Moments later, a water bottle flies over the barricade, slamming into one journalist’s backpack. Another bottle follows but misses.
Realize that the police were in retreat because they are under no legal obligation to defend or protect the residents in this neighborhood.
Also realize that if any of the residents were intent on stopping this, they waited far too late. Allowing them to become ensconced gives Antifa the tactical edge. The residents were thus unable to resist in any meaningful way.
Then again, most residents of Portland elected the officials who put up with, and even defend, these thugs. So most of them are communists, and wouldn’t choose to defend their neighborhood anyway.
Even if a patriot lived there, he is essentially alone. It matters where you live, and it matters who your neighbors are.
And tactical planning matters. You cannot resists thugs who have body armor and AR-15s if you don’t have body armor and AR-15s. And you cannot resist them well unless you can fight from behind pre-built cover and concealment (or at least, cover and concealment that you know exists because of prior scouting).
There are lots of lessons for us all.
The New York assembly is considering a bill that would allow government officials such as Gov. Andrew Cuomo and health commissioners to “detain or remove” individuals that they deem a risk to public health.
The bill, first introduced by Democrat New York State Assemblyman N. Nick Perry, grants power to Cuomo and state health officials to forcibly confine any individual who is considered a danger due to a contagious disease or a suspected case of that disease to either a medical facility or another type of space appointed by the governor.
“The governor or his or her delegee may, in his or her discretion, issue and seek enforcement of any other orders that he or she determines are necessary or appropriate to prevent dissemination or transmission of contagious diseases or other illnesses that may pose a threat to the public health,” the bill states.
New York is merely the testing ground for this. If they come for you and you choose not to take their vaccine, you will have to shoot them in the face.
