Declare the election stealing states to be unrepublican and order new elections: A five step plan to save the republic in less than two weeks
With our communist Democratic party going full eliminationist totalitarian overnight, our great fighting president might be ready to embrace a new way to win:
A five step plan to save the republic in less than two weeks
2. He invokes the republican guarantee clause to invalidate all fruits of these unrepublican trees (such as Wednesday’s electoral vote count).
3. And he orders federally conducted re-runs of the tainted elections along with a corresponding delay in the presidential selection and inauguration process.
4. Somebody sues (either Biden or the tainted states), otherwise the order stands and Trump has a valid legal claim to the presidency until step 3 is completed, regardless of what competing claims to the presidency can be made by Joe Biden.
5. Faced with this dire ambiguity SCOTUS is forced to immediately take up the case. If the Court follows its established deference to the political branches on guarantee clause issues it should agree that new elections, conducted in impeccably open and honest fashion by the federal government, are a good and allowable remedy.
Half of America breathes a huge sigh of relief while three quarters accept this democratic resolution, keeping the Democrats’ vast infrastructure of election stealing mechanisms from being cemented in place, thereby saving our republic from ending on January 20th
Nobody ever let President Trump know that he can order all of this on his own authority under the guarantee clause
He has been looking to state courts and legislatures, to SCOTUS, to Congress, to Pence, urging everyone he can to step up and be brave enough to save our republic. If he knew that he could directly order all that is needed it is obvious that he would have done so long ago.
We must let him know while there is still time!The second half of the plan: a winning 8-part defense for President Trump to present to SCOTUS
1. Presidential authority
According to Article IV section 4, the guarantee “that each state of the union shall have a republican form of government” is to be enforced by “The United States,” which means first of all the three branches of the federal government, including the executive branch.
Past Court rulings hold that interpretation and enforcement of the republican guarantee cannot be rendered by the Court (are nonjusticiable) because they raise “political questions” that can only be resolved by the political branches of government.
This means that President Trump cannot effectively bring suit on guarantee clause grounds which means that his only avenue for upholding his constitutional duty to enforce the republican guarantee is by acting on his own authority, deploying his inherent Article IV power to enforce the guarantee according to his own best understanding of what actions the clause empowers and requires.
2. The President's interpretation of the guarantee clause
Thus called upon to interpret the republican guarantee, President Trump judges first that his power under the guarantee clause is plenary: that the guarantee clause empowers him to take whatever actions are necessary in order to nullify the power of any unrepublican form of state government that emerges and ultimately to expunge that form of government (meaning the elements of the state government that make it unrepublican), or else the guarantee fails to be a guarantee.
It follows that if there is conflict between what is required to enforce the guarantee clause and any other constitutional provisions then it is the other constitutional provisions that must give way, and the reason why the founders would have framed this priority into the Constitution is obvious. If we lose our republican form of government we lose everything. It is the ark in which everything else is carried. It is the tree from which every fruit of liberty grows.
“A republic if you can keep it,” said Benjamin Franklin, and the republican guarantee is the ultimate weapon built into our Constitution for fighting back when it is our system of open and honest democratic elections itself that is at under attack.
3. Evidence of unrepublican state governments
Here President Trump’s brief outlines the massive infrastructure of intentional vulnerabilities to vote fraud and election fraud that the Democrats have put in place over many decades, and the huge increase in that infrastructure for the 2020 elections, with details attached as exhibits.
It also outlines the massive evidence that all of these avenues of election fraud were fully exploited in at least a half-dozen swing states, with estimated levels of fraud in all of these states being at least several times larger than the narrow margins of “victory” in candidate Biden’s fraud-included vote totals, again with details attached.
A few examples:
- Electronic voting machines designed at the behest of communist regimes for the express purpose of stealing elections
- Mass mailing of multiple unsolicited mail-in ballot applications to every address in a state, easily available for anyone to harvest and vote with little to no verification
- Plus older tricks like never cleaning up voter rolls and not requiring i.d. to vote and of course not allowing Republicans to observe the verifications or the vote counts
Even with all these dirty tricks in full play the tainted states still had to yank the plug on election-night vote counting so they could close the gap with massive wee-hour ballot dumps, almost all for Biden. Hundreds of affidavits attest to the scope of the executed fraud.
4. Harms from unrepublican state governments
Estimated levels of fraud that are at least several times larger than the “winning” vote margin in the all of the tainted states means that on an honest count of the vote candidate Biden almost certainly lost all of these states (and likely some others as well) while candidate Trump almost certainly won all of these states.
These stolen (unrepublican) state elections in turn flipped the electoral college vote total from candidate Trump to candidate Biden, resulting in a stolen (unrepublican) presidential election.
President Trump has a constitutional duty under the republican guarantee to block the unrepublican state governments from inflicting these powerful harms. The unrepublican states have first stripped their own citizens of the power to choose their own leaders, then by carrying their fraudulent election results forward to the electoral college they are doing the same to The People of the whole United States.
In the current situation the magnitude of these harms is total. If the current election stealing attempt succeeds then the Democrats’ vast infrastructure of election stealing processes will get cemented in place and America will never see another real election but will become just one more communist hellhole where an unfree people have no power to vote out their tyrannical government masters. No more popular sovereignty. No more republicanism.
5. Required remedy: nullification of elections and electors
Blocking the power of the unrepublican states requires nullification of their 2020 election results and all electoral votes that proceed from them. Not only is this necessary to prevent harms, but it is also flows from the wording of Article IV.
The republican guarantee is in effect a standing declaration of war by the Constitution itself against any unrepublican form of state government that might emerge. That government must be and expunged and its influence must be interdicted and nullified. It is not left to Congress to declare war or not. The declaration of war is already in the Constitution and cannot be undone except by constitutional amendment.
The president’s job is to execute that war and in war you don’t allow the enemy state to pick your president for you, or you are not actually treating them as an enemy, as the Constitution requires. The Constitution regards these states as illegitimate and hence their power over the United States must be considered illegitimate.
6. Required remedy: federally conducted re-runs of the tainted elections
To insure that presidential power to enforce the republican guarantee is never abused by an unrepublican president who seeks to nullify legitimate open and honest republican elections, the remedy imposed by the enforcement action must lead as directly and certainly as possible to impeccably open and honest elections, insuring that the nation proceeds in the wake of the enforcement action in the direction that the people themselves choose.
President Trump’s orders meet this requirement. Re-runs of the 2020 elections for national officeholders in the tainted states will be conducted by the federal government. Georgia election law will no longer be in effect. Instead the feds will make the election rules and, to fulfill the republican guarantee, will put together the most open and honest elections in American history, clearly demonstrating that there is no actual conflict between an honest election process and a process that is easily open to all legal voters.
Use of the military is appropriate because our armed forces are the only arm of the federal government that has the manpower (augmentable as necessary by National Guard units under the command of the U.S. military); they are the most respected institution in our society; and they follow orders. If we tell our soldiers to inspect every ballot in close concert with observers from all political parties who want to observe and with the press if they want to observe as well then our soldiers will follow every procedure just the way they are told, all the way up the line to the final vote tally.
They will check IDs and other identifying information, they will get signatures, they may ink fingers if that is called for. Insecure recently added mail-in ballot procedures will be barred, reverting to a secure system of absentee balloting limited to cases of actual need. Other Democratic Party schemes for enabling vote fraud will also be rejected. In particular, there will be no use of Smartmatic-derived election equipment, purpose built for stealing elections.
Instead the entire audit trail will be on pen and paper, with vote totals added up by human beings. This is nothing but addition people. We don’t need electronics to do addition for us. Calculators can be used to double check adding but for a fully auditable paper trail the best solution is visible human marking down and adding of votes, first at the precinct level, with these then added together city level, the county level and then for the state.
There is no need for our vote counting to be vulnerable to electronic hacking or manipulation. Put the whole pen and paper tally process on film. Make it 100% auditable down to looking back at the pen strokes that created it along with images of the ballots that each pen stroke refers to.
Popular sovereignty can and will be insured.
7. Checksum of constitutional values verifies enforcement plan
The constitutional harms that this plan incurs are small: just a few months delay in completing the presidential selection and inauguration process. At the same time, the constitutional benefits are the highest possible: we save our republican democracy itself from being permanently usurped by an unrepublican national government foisted on us by a cabal of unrepublican states. This vast outweighing of costs by benefits confirms the appropriateness of the priority that the wording of the guarantee implies.
Protecting the continued existence of our republic is a president’s highest duty. Faced with a would-be fatal outbreak of unrepublican state government President Donald J. Trump is blocking their attempted usurpation of our republic in the most republican way possible, proceeding directly to the most open and honest electoral remedy possible while intruding as little as possible on other constitutional provisions.
8. Argument for the Court’s own power and responsibility to enforce the republican guarantee
The only reason the Democrats were able to amass their broad arsenal of election stealing mechanisms in the first place is because SCOTUS never did its part to guarantee our republican form of government. Every substantial vulnerability to election fraud that the Democrats deployed over the last sixty hears should have been immediately struck down. There is never justification for it. Access to the vote by all legal voters can always be enabled by spending money. It can never justify enabling fraud.
Legal voters need i.d. cards? Spend whatever is necessary for all legal voters to get i.d.s and the same with security. If the system for issuing i.d.s is vulnerable to fraud then spend the money necessary to fully vet every applicant and find out for sure whether they are legal or not. Both of these desiderata can be secured at once, with no excuse for any substantial shortfall on either.
The guarantee clause is stated as a direct check on states’ power, in particular over election laws, since the core meaning of republicanism is electoral. The Court’s ignoring of that check let the Democrats’ arsenal of election-stealing tools pile up to the rafters until the only guarantee was that it would soon succeed in ending our republic. It is necessary rub this irresponsibility on the part of the Court into their faces a little bit so they don’t do it again, because that is the danger here.
The Court might seek some way to avoid the guarantee clause issue. Thus it must be urged on them that they too have a constitutional duty to enforce the guarantee and make sure that it is a guarantee: that they enable whatever steps are necessary to keep an election stealer from gaining the presidency and ending our republic forever.
This constitutional responsibility must take precedence over all other constitutional concerns. The Court can’t just rule on some other constitutional principle (like legislative supremacy) that Biden is president and so the case is void. Every other constitutional grounds must give way to the guarantee clause and that is as true for the Court as it is for the President.
End of defense
Political dynamics
Win or lose the political dynamics of this guarantee clause enforcement order would be advantageous. The Democrat and NeverTrump# mob would all be stuck angrily denouncing the prospect of guaranteed open and honest elections: “Impeach him NOW, before he is able to reveal the actual will of the people!”
It’s also a strong move for branding Biden/Harris as illegitimate, which is crucial when all evidence of the massive Democrat election fraud is censored by our radical-left Democrat-controlled internet monopolies and news media corporations.
But most important is the strong chance that the Court would take the case seriously and rule favorably. We should actually get re-run elections. That is the constitutionally correct remedy for our current predicament. We just have to give our new conservative Supreme Court the chance to say so.
Guarantee clause links
Some background on the Article IV guarantee that each state "shall have a republican form of government" here, here, and here.

President Trump can Stop the Steal by enforcing the Article IV guarantee that each state "shall have a republican form of government”: step one is to have the Army conduct the upcoming Georgia runoff elections
By Alec Rawls
At the constitutional debates in New York Alexander Hamilton asserted that:
"The true principle of a republic is, that the people should choose whom they please to govern them. Representation is imperfect in proportion as the current of popular favor is checked."
Opposite to this republican
democracy is the phony form of democracy preferred by Joseph Stalin
where: “those who cast the votes decide nothing, those who count the votes
decide everything.” In this election-fraud based phony-democracy the will of
the people is annihilated, creating a definitively unrepublican form.
This form must never be
allowed a live birth. If election fraud ever succeeds even once in being the
key determinant of one faction’s rise to majority control over the powers of American
government then our republic will be lost forever. Not only will the election
stealers will be far better placed to steal elections going forward but being a
bunch of criminals they will inevitably also deploy multiplying other ways of abusing
their authority and imposing tyranny.
We have only ever had two
choices: republican liberty or tyranny, a fork which now reaches its crux as
all evidence points to massive electoral fraud by our bottomlessly criminal
Democratic Party (voting machines designed by communist dictators for the
express purpose of stealing elections, not allowing observers, 4am 100K out-of-custody
ballot dumps for Biden, etcetera ad nauseum.) The definitively unrepublican form, where
elections outcomes are determined by the vote counters, not the voters, is
making a concerted bid across several states for control of the nation.
It is such assaults on our
very form of government that the Article IV section 4 guarantee clause
was written to defend against:
“The United
States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of
government…”
This is our Constitution’s
most direct protection against election fraud and it authorizes whatever actions
are needed to fend off usurpation. That is
part of what the word “guarantee” means: that when it comes to preserving government
of the people by the people and for the people the available remedies are
whatever it takes. If any necessary means is ever barred then unrepublican
government wins and the promised guarantee against it is not fulfilled.
Another meaning of “guarantee”
is to try to eliminate or minimize risk. On this grounds the Supreme Court
never should have allowed our Democrat-run states to enact their host of fraud-enabling
election rules.
There is no incompatibility
between election security and elections that are easily open to all legal
voters. We put such an election process together in Iraq in very short order.
It is a travesty that in the fraudulent name of protecting legal voters Democrats
were allowed to burn our own election security to the ground.
When states implement
election methods that are readily vulnerable to voter fraud and election fraud
the only reason is because they want to enable election stealing. The Courts
have a duty under the guarantee clause to weed out these planted
vulnerabilities and the president now has a guarantee clause duty to overcome the
Stalinist coup these vulnerabilities are enabling.
The guarantee clause places a
check on the power that the Constitution gives to the states to run the nation’s
elections
How can the republican guarantee
provide a primary defense against election fraud at the federal level
when it is written as a limit on the forms that state governments can
take? Because it is paired in a check-and-balance arrangement with two other provisions
of the Constitution (Article I
section 4 and Article
II section 1) that empower each state to establish its own election rules
and conduct its own elections for federal as well as state officers. This
allocation of election authority to the states is designed to maintain state
sovereignty and provide a counter-balance to federal power but it also introduces
a vulnerability.
The framers biggest concern was
always to keep our republic from being usurped by a tyrant or a coalition of
would-be tyrants (“a republic if you can keep it”). State control of elections are
a possible point of entry for tyrannical unrepublican phony democracy, not just
at the state level but in the election of federal officers, so the framers
added two checks.
First the Article I section 4 “elections
clause” includes an oversight role for Congress, which is empowered to “make or
alter” state election regulations. This is a preventative measure. If some
states were to intentionally introduce vulnerabilities into their election
systems – say through mail-in voting schemes that basically helicopter-drop
ballots all over the state then allow these ballots to be counted with almost
no verification requirements under an “all votes must be counted” standard – then
Congress could step in and shut down this invitation to mass vote fraud.
But Congress might do nothing, if
as today one of its chambers is controlled by the party of vote fraud. Thus the
founders wisely did not trust Congress either and added a second check on top
of the first, one that is not just preventative but can be used to cut down any
unrepublican form of government that succeeds in springing up, be it in the form
of phony state-run elections for state offices or phony state-run elections for
the state’s federal officeholders.
This is the guarantee clause, sitting
like a bright red fire axe in a windowed frame with a sign that says “in case
of unrepublican ignition break glass.” Judges, politicians and pundits all
invoke the phrase “the Constitution is not a suicide pact.” The guarantee
clause is the one provision of the Constitution that actually states this explicitly.
When our republic itself is threatened there is a duty, and an allocation of
power, to prevent its loss.
We are now in that emergency. In
several states the people who count the votes are on the verge of getting away with
stealing the 2020 elections from the electorates of those states and if they succeed
they will in the process succeed in stealing the presidency and possibly even
both houses of Congress.
Our Stalinist Democrats are on
the verge of completing an election-stealing coup that will end our republic
forever and our best tool for stopping them is the emergency power that the
framers included for just this eventuality. Its first great advantage is that
it authorizes whatever is needed to overcome an unrepublican phony democracy, otherwise
the guarantee is not actually a guarantee. It’s second advantage is that there
is no limit on what branch of the federal government may invoke it. The guarantee
is issued by “The United States,” which touches all three federal branches.
Since the clause carries the
whiff of grapeshot (confrontation with an unrepublican form of government) the
obvious expectation is that primary enforcement responsibility would fall to
the president, empowering him to initiate on his own authority whatever steps
he deems necessary to restore real democracy, with no requirement that he first
has to win any lawsuit or otherwise wait for judicial okay. Just as the
president has inherent war powers so too he must have inherent guarantee clause
powers.
For the other branches: the courts
can also uphold the republican guarantee as a grounds for suit; Congress can
call for it to be enforced; and ultimately We the People are also clearly
invited, not just in the guarantee clause but in the Declaration of
Independence, in the Second Amendment, and in many other places, to oppose an
unrepublican form of government. We are all part of The United States.
Federal takeover of Georgia
elections
Trump campaign lawyer Rudy
Giuliani has collected enough evidence of massive election fraud in Georgia to
make it almost certain that candidate Trump received far more legal votes than
candidate Biden, which provides more than enough grounds for President Trump to
invoke the republican guarantee and order a federal takeover of the upcoming
Georgia run-off elections. That candidate Trump is himself an aggrieved party
does not in any way diminish President Trump’s constitutional duty to expunge the
unrepublican phony-election form that has arisen in Georgia.
Under this federal takeover Georgia election law would no longer be in effect. The feds would make the election rules and, to fulfill the republican guarantee, would be obligated to put together the most open and honest elections in American history, clearly demonstrating that there is no actual conflict between an honest election process and a process that is easily open to all legal voters.
Use of the military makes sense
because our armed forces have the manpower; they are the most respected
institution in our society; and they follow orders. If we tell them to inspect
every ballot in close concert with observers from all political parties who
want to observe and with the press if they want to observe as well then our
soldiers will follow every procedure just the way they are told, all the way up
the line to the final vote tally.
They will check IDs, they will
get signatures, they may ink fingers, if that is called for. Insecure recently
added mail-in ballot procedures would be barred, reverting to a secure system
of absentee balloting limited to cases of actual need. Other Democratic Party
schemes for enabling vote fraud would also be rejected. In particular, there
would be no use of purpose-built Dominion or Smartmatic election stealing software
and machinery.
If this plan is implemented soon
enough it might even be possible for the feds to hold the Georgia runoff
elections on their already scheduled January 5th date but that would
not be necessary. It would be helpful though if the federal takeover could at
least be announced by December 13, since early mail in voting in Georgia begins on the 14th.
It would be good not to have to invalidate any already submitted ballots.
Of course the Georgia state government
is likely to sue over a federal takeover and the courts will at that point have
to weigh in but the legitimacy of such federal action is straightforward. The
massive evidence of election fraud in Georgia justifies the president’s assessment
that Georgia’s election process is dishonest/unrepublican. Then there are the
many intentional vulnerabilities to fraud that are built into the system. These
add weight to the assessment that the constitutional guarantee of republican/honest
elections is far from met.
In simplest terms, blatantly
dishonest elections, full of documented criminal behavior, would be replaced
with clearly honest elections. That is a huge net benefit in terms of
constitutional values.
Under normal conditions federal
takeover of any state’s elections would impose a huge cost in constitutional
values since it would violate the Constitution’s allocation of electoral
authority to the states, but once Georgia is seen to have adopted a definitively
unrepublican form (a phony Stalinist “democracy” that is of by and for the vote
counters) then any authority that the Georgia state government holds over the
state’s elections becomes a negative, something the Constitution promises in
the guarantee clause to expunge, not protect.
At that point the federal
takeover of the state’s elections only produces benefits. The people get their
votes honestly counted and no one is harmed. Election stealers are left crying
because they can’t steal any more elections but in the eyes of the law it is a benefit,
not a harm, when criminals stop getting away with crime.
In sum there is a strong and simple
case to make under a very powerful constitutional provision. With a majority-honest
Supreme Court, which we now seem to have, the Court shouldn’t be an obstacle to
a federal takeover of Georgia’s runoff election, especially given the Court’s
history with the guarantee clause.
How can the guarantee clause be
powerful when SCOTUS has broadly described it as nonjusticiable?
If you have only ever learned one
thing about the guarantee clause you probably know that the Supreme Court has
repeatedly found it to be “nonjusticiable”: they have decided that they cannot
enforce it.
If it is not enforceable, doesn’t
that make it weak? No.
SCOTUS has had trouble finding a
way that the judiciary branch can enforce the republican guarantee, but with
no imputation that the other branches of government cannot enforce it. Just the
opposite: the reason the Court has declined to interpret the clause is because it
keeps being raised in cases that involve conflicts that in the Court’s view can
only be settled by the other branches of government.
If anything this enhances the
president’s freedom to start enforcing the guarantee clause on his own
authority. The courts are unlikely to interfere when the Supreme Court’s well
established position is to stand back with its palms up saying: “don’t look at
us, the courts can’t get involved in that guarantee clause stuff.”
As it turns out, the received
wisdom about the guarantee clause being nonjusticiable under existing Court
precedent is completely wrong, which is a very good thing. Here is what
happened.
Every guarantee clause case that ever
reached the Court ended up being declared nonjusticiable because it fell into
one of two “political question problem” pitfalls, but each pitfall has also
been avoided in some of the cases, showing that each type of political question
problem can be gotten past. It is just a matter of bringing the right case, one
that doesn’t raise either kind of political question problem.
I found this out twenty years ago
when I sued the State of California pro se in a ballot access case that
actually turned out to be just the kind of clean case that did not raise either
kind of political question problem. If I could have gotten a judge to understand
I could have brought the crucially important guarantee clause into active adjudication
for the first time in our nation’s history, thus I appealed all the way to the
Supreme Court thinking that maybe Justice Thomas would see the momentousness of
the opportunity and grab it up. Alas, he is just one man.
And that is how I happen to know
something about the republican guarantee. For details on the two kinds of
political question problem and how they can both be avoided see my Supreme
Court brief (the
guarantee clause stuff is towards the end).
The viable path to adjudication that
I discovered is important now because we want the Supreme Court to do more than
stand back with its hands up. We need them in the fight, backing the effort to
force honest elections. They should have been using the guarantee clause to
weed out the Democrat’s intentionally planted election-fraud vulnerabilities for
50+ years now, but in the present moment the standard view of precedent is not
all bad.
It is helpful that until the Supremes
can be presented with the right case they at least are not likely to block a well designed guarantee clause enforcement
effort that President Trump undertakes on his own initiative. According to received
wisdom the Court ought in this circumstance to be loathe to interfere.
Step two: announce federal re-runs
of the tainted 2020 House and Senate races, which will in turn require that finalization
of the presidential selection process be delayed (otherwise the party accused
of cheating, if it wins the presidency, will terminate the re-runs)
Guarantee clause enforcement could
also be used to require federally managed re-runs of the 2020 general elections
in a host of states where outcomes were most likely flipped by what the evidence
says is massive election fraud. Re-running of House and Senate seats in those
states could well give Republicans a majority in the House and strengthen the Senate
majority that honest runoff elections in Georgia will most likely secure.
In constitutional terms this
would be a huge pile of benefits raked in by enforcement of the guarantee clause: election results that come out differently when elections are
honest! Constitutional values don’t get any weightier than that. But the only
way these benefits of honest elections can be secured, the only way they can be
guaranteed, is if completion of the presidential selection and inauguration process
that is set out in the Constitution gets delayed by at least a few months.
It will take that long to re-run
the tainted elections. Then there is the fact that one of the presidential candidates
is the beneficiary of the cheating that the evidence says took place. If he becomes
president before the tainted House and Senate races are re-run he will almost
certainly cancel the re-runs, so the only way to guarantee the re-runs is to
delay the inauguration.
Note that provisions for the
possibility of a delayed inauguration are already set out in the Constitution:
20th Amendment, clause 3:
“… If a
President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of
his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice
President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified.”
Democrats will cry that any delay
in completion of the presidential selection/inauguration process is an overthrow
of our constitutional process but it is not true. The Constitution not only
contemplates this possibility but has prepared for it.
Step 3: Delaying presidential
selection/inauguration until down-ballot elections are re-run will afford time
to also re-run the presidential election in the tainted states
Once a delay in the presidential
selection and inauguration process is called for there is no reason that this
delay should not also be used to re-run the tainted presidential contests, again
conducted in maximally open and honest fashion by the federal government.
The constitutionally specified
four year presidential term creates a timeliness issue for resolution of the
presidential selection process but once a guarantee clause action is taken the timeliness
issue flips. Instead of it being important to settle election disputes quickly
it instead becomes important to not draw the schedule up short or the republican
guarantee is not guaranteed, as it must be. Priority number one: guarantee that
we still have a republic.
This would be the case whether delay
was first called for in order to guarantee completed honest re-runs of tainted House
and Senate races or whether it was first called for in order to guarantee
completed honest re-runs of the presidential election in the tainted states.
Either way the Supreme Court will end up having to weigh the competing sides of
the constitutional conflict that is presented.
On one side is the importance of
letting the republican guarantee be an actual guarantee, on the other is the
significance of changing the dates on finalization of the presidential selection
process by a couple of months this one time. Constitutional provisions give way
to other constitutional provisions all the time and this one is pretty obvious:
what is a couple months to make sure these decisive national elections are not stolen
when the consequence if we do let them be stolen is that we lose our republic
forever?
Thankfully that decision would be
made by a majority-conservative Supreme Court. Given the chance to save the
republic by making a sound legal decision they would likely take it. We just
have to give them that chance.
When the Democrats lose the honest
re-runs by a country mile they can throw whatever temper tantrums they want,
and they will, but they will be exposed firstly as having tried and failed to steal
the 2020 elections, then as a bunch of rioting criminals going forward.
As a result, this round of America’s long Civil War with the Democratic Party will be won with relatively little bloodshed, prayers be to God, and we’ll have a chance to clean up our election system going forward.

Crutcher's arm clearly seen reaching INSIDE his SUV at moment of shooting
The clearest video seems to be from CNN. Here is a screenshot at the 47 second mark (click image for full resolution):
Surrounding video frames show the movement of Crutcher's arm inside the SUV. Once you know where to look you can watch the video at normal speed and be able to see Crutcher's arm pull out from inside the SUV as he falls away from being shot. No doubt about it. So it looks like Officer Betty Shelby will be cleared.
Tulsa police must already know that the window of Crutcher's SUV was down, since they would have pictures of the crime scene that have not been released yet, but Tulsa prosecutors must not have realized there is video that verifies Shelby's claim that Crutcher was reaching into the SUV when she shot him. Otherwise it is hard to see how they could possibly have charged her with anything, never mind manslaughter.
I hope D.A. Kunzweiler's reaction to this proof of her veracity is a glad one, instead of wishing it would go away, but given how fast he charged her I suspect the latter. It looks like prosecutors are hoping that throwing her to the mob will reduce racial tension but appeasement only whets the appetite of the appeased. Kunzweiler needs to listen to President Reagan. "No Danegeld":
Note that it is Crutcher's right arm that reaches in, not his left, so Officer Shelby's lawyer Scott Wood got that detail wrong (at the CNN link), but otherwise Shelby's story is borne out, and possibly the left-arm bit too. Video from several seconds earlier, when the helicopter is behind Crutcher, does seem to show him reaching in with his left arm, so maybe Shelby should have shot him then, but the actual shooting occurred when he reached in with his right arm, which makes sense, as that reach-in would have been more visible to Shelby.

Nugent's blistering critique of Jewish anti-gunners was/is not anti-Semitic
Gun control enables genocide, so how can the group whose victimization gave rise to "never again" be so heavily represented among those who would let it happen again? That is a paraphrase. Nugent was less gentle, writing "Jews for gun control are nazis in disguise," but the substance is the same. These Jews are advocating the Nazi policy of civilian disarmament that enabled the slaughter of European Jewry.
It is fine to take issue with Nugent's execution. There is a reason I didn't call the Newtown Mothers "Adam Lanza in disguise." That hyperbole would just create more sympathy for these women whose moral perversity already gets a pass because everyone has so much sympathy for them.
But flawed execution does not alter the legitimacy and importance of Nugent's critique, so how about we edit the execution a little and see if we can find some common ground? Consider this an exercise in alternate history.
If Ted Nugent knew how to use Photoshop
The photo-collage of leading anti-gun Jews that Nugent used to illustrate his initial post (the center portion of the graphic above) contained elements that people familiar with anti-Semitic propaganda recognize as impugning the loyalty of American Jews. In particular, the little American flags were originally little Israeli flags with the Star of David in the middle.
Most people would only see those flags as an indicator of Jewishness and it is quite clear that Nugent did not intend any imputation of loyalty to a foreign power. His issue was strictly these people's anti-gun idiocy. So change the flags, do a little editing to the commentary on the individual anti-gun honchos (in red), and make the graphic self-contained by including a toned down version of Nugent's explanation for why and how anti-gun Jews warrant their own special critique (but not too toned down).
So how did I do? Is this about right?
Ted??
What do y'all think?
Nugent has angrily denied that he intended anything anti-Semitic and there is no reason to doubt him. A normal person does not see an Israeli flag as anti-Semitic and if you don't have Photoshop skills you have to go with what is available. Bloomberg, Feinstein, Shumer + 9 more? That's a pretty good start. Just really does need that little bit of editing.
Some critics think it is anti-Semitic to single out anti-gun Jews at all. No it isn't, any more than it is anti-mom to criticize anti-gun moms for wanting all children to be undefended, and it is important to single them out. It is important to go after each of these groups where they stand.
Moral error has no authority and no amount of victimization can change that. Point out the most personal and blatant moral perversity of our various anti-gun groups and their moral authority can be shattered. They want to impose on everyone exactly what got their own loved ones killed. How perverse is that?
Ted Nugent deserves credit for recognizing the validity of this response. There is a special critique that can be leveled anti-gun Jews and kudos to Nugent for stating it.
Turning the moral authority of the Newtown Mothers back against themselves
The reason I immediately recognized the validity of Nugent's attack on anti-gun Jews (while many others accused him of doubling down on anti-Semitism), is that I have already been down this road. When the Demanding Newtown Mothers put out a one-year anniversary video their ticking-clock motif powerfully evoked the pro-gun understanding that when seconds count it is doesn't help that the police are only minutes away (fifteen in the Newtown case), so I reversed it back onto them by adding a pro-gun voice over:
Finally the urgent dread on the Mothers' faces directs an obviously necessary course of action: get those children some armed defenders! Turning their story back onto them works.
So I'm right with you Ted (and glad to have the company). Now we just need a few thousand more. In the meantime I hope people can realize that jettisoning Nugent over THIS of all things, something he is insightfully right about, would be a disastrous and unpardonable mistake.

NYT's gay "modern man" marks how far the Democrat's inversion of tolerance and approval has progressed
But this is perfectly in line with the double-standard supremacism that the various groups who make phony claims of victim status are all demanding these days as their due redress. It is no longer enough to tolerate homosexual behavior. Now everyone must approve it (marriage being society's stamp of approval), and those who only tolerate without approving are not themselves tolerated, but are severely punished by the power of the state. The small tolerated minority hops directly into a new position as an intolerant power.
By this standard, then of course you have to be gay to be a man. Gays are no longer a minor group relying on and receiving the tolerance of the majority, they are an intolerant group, out to marginalize and destroy all who do not approve of them, and this has become the standard for all of the victim-cliamant groups. The suppression of disapproving but tolerant majorities is the payment that intolerant minorities are receiving for joining the Democrat's 51% tyranny of the majority.
I live in Palo Alto where the high school just ended its tradition of selecting a homecoming king and queen with male and female courts on the grounds that this tradition might be uncomfortable or offensive to transgender students or staff. You know, like when Morgan Hill banned American flags from school property on the grounds that it might offend the large percentage of students whose loyalty is to Mexico, not the United States.
But wait a minute. If anyone expresses discomfort about transgender students they are immediately subject to severe re-education demands if not expulsion, so why is discomfort about heterosexuality on the part of hypothetical transgenders not only presumed but validated and placed as a controlling interest? Again, majority views are not tolerated while minority views are not just tolerated but are imposed on all.
People of Mexican heritage are presumed to be offended by the American flag in the same school where any student to took offense at the Mexican flag would subject to extreme corrective measures by the state. Tolerance for majority views is denied and approval for minority views is required.
Same on race. The vast majority of interracial crime in America is black on white yet the only news stories in which race is raised as an issue are the rare man-bites-dog cases where a white attacks a black. Brutal intolerance by blacks is swept under the rug while tolerant disapproval of the manifest perversities of black American culture are not tolerated.
This monstrous inversion of the necessary priority of tolerance over approval is virtually total within every institution that Democrats control: the news media, entertainment, academia, K-12, the professional societies, most philanthropies, most social media and the Democratic Party. To the extent that this ideology is enforced it is the absolute destruction of liberty to the very last brick, a complete totalitarianism.
The only saving grace is that Democrats only have partial power. They control all of our information industries but they have not achieved a secure majority of political power, so we are not done yet, but we are very close, and the K-12 brainwashing of the next generation will make the identity-group left's destruction of liberty hard to stop.
The NYT's gay "modern man" is a ludicrously bad joke, but it is also a very dangerous joke, like finding a single Lionfish where invasive species had not been previously found. It tells us, oh no, the infection has spread all the way to this far corner of the globe, which means it is everywhere, and as idiotic as this Lionfish looks it will be hard to push back.
These perverts are raising YOUR kids, six hours a day, plus television time, plus social media time. They are very close to winning/destroying everything.
UPDATE: It is obviously not necessary to the theme of this post that Brian Lombardi, the author of the NYT's "modern man" lunacy, actually be gay instead of just a pajama-boy type anti-man. Either way, the theme of the NYT piece is that to be a "modern man" you have to be at extreme odds with the majority view of manliness. And yes, the NYT piece is written very much in a bossy, "this is how it's done guys," way, ridiculously so, as in Lombardi's "way to be a modern man" #7:
7. The modern man buys only regular colas, like Coke or Dr Pepper. If you walk into his house looking for a Mountain Dew, he’ll show you the door.That's a caricature of a spoiled eight year old. Did Lombardi come up with his examples of manhood by using George Costanza's "opposite" method? Whatever you think an actual man would do, say the opposite?
Writer In Black offers a full fisking where 25 out of Lombardi's 27 are seen to be pretty much the polar opposite from manliness. Black's non-opposite response to #7:
The modern man drinks whatever he wants. If it's Diet Cherry Mountain Dew, it's Diet Cherry Mountain Dew. The modern man does not apologize for his choice of beverage.
If a guest asks for something the modern man does not stock the modern man says something like "I'm sorry but I don't have that. Would you perhaps like..." and then offers a selection of what the modern man does have. If a modern man knows in advance that a guest has a particular preference, the modern man will insure that he has a supply of it. See "courteous" above.
The modern man's guests never leave hungry or thirsty unless it's by their own choice.
1. When the modern man buys shoes for his spouse, he doesn’t have to ask her sister for the size. And he knows which brands run big or small.It isn't just that no heterosexual man would deprive his wife or girlfriend of her favorite shopping activity by buying shoes for her (unless it be with the express idea that they won't fit, so she can return them and get what she wants). It's that revealing bit about knowing which brands run big or small. To know that a man would have to be trying on his own feet the same styles and brands as he is looking to buy for his spouse, which means the spouse must also be a man.
Then it makes sense. They both have girl brains, they both love shoe shopping and they can think of sharing what they know about how certain brands fit, but that is only even possible for homosexuals.
Yeah yeah, Lombardi says he has a wife named "Linda" and that they have three children, but that is what the gays are doing now, right? They are calling themselves husband and wife and adopting children. I just hope the kids come out okay.
17. Does the modern man have a melon baller? What do you think? How else would the cantaloupe, watermelon and honeydew he serves be so uniformly shaped?Can you say "that's so gay"? Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's gayer than Saint Patrick's Day in San Francisco.
Okay, here's one that isn't gay, unless a person wants to put a nasty negative spin on gayness:
25. The modern man has no use for a gun. He doesn’t own one, and he never will.That is a wussified, pantywaist, icky-ew type flaming, which is really an unfair caricature of homosexuality. Homosexuals are not morons.
But that's the only contra-indication to Mr. Lombardi being gay. His list finishes strong on the female-brained theme:
26. The modern man cries. He cries often.Like, at that time of the month?
27. People aren’t sure if the modern man is a good dancer or not. That is, until the D.J. plays his jam and he goes out there and puts on a clinic.Dancing is neither gay nor straight, but if ever there was a sentence that reads with a lisp...
At the very least, Brian Lombardi is a definite putths.
