I think SCOTUS definitely should have heard the TX case, as was their duty, to put all of the fraud on record.
But there was no way they were going to invalidate tens of millions of legit votes, which is what would have to happen.
The time to remedy all of this was well before the election, when the fraud was openly planned. Once again, the GOP pols failed us.
When the PA Supreme Court okayed unlimited vote by mail and counting ballots received whenever, and there wasn’t enough pushback on this clearly unconstitutional theft, it was over here in PA. 40 point EV swing.
I’m not going to belabor this, but it needs to be addressed
From Canoe Convoy downstairs
Well, the story finally came out — US Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts bullied and browbeat the other justices into denying justice to the nation last Friday. He was afraid of riots, and civil unrest. Instead, he should be afraid of civil war. This is but one link, there will be others more reputable: https://youtu.be/XXJFOnRW0jw
This story has been making the round for 3 days now and I refused to post it. I don’t know where it started, I first saw it from Lin Wood, who I’m sure believes it.
Hold off. First, when the case was docketed at least half the lawyers I follow/am familiar with predicted SCOTUS would not hear the case. That includes Margot Cleveland and Dershowitz. So this was disappointing but not out of the blue.
Second, the story says all the justices were in a room together. Really? You do know they’re not hearing cases in the actual court but via phone/zoom, right? Why they would do physical meets for this kind of thing but not actual arguments escapes me. Perhaps they are, I don’t know, but to me that seems inherently contradictory.
This story also puts ALL the onus on Roberts. The vote was 7-2. What about Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett? These 3 don’t impress me as easily intimidated, especially Gorsuch.
The story may be true, but it seems to me it’s being taken at face value because it fits a confirmation bias about Roberts (which is well founded, I admit). But a story about Roberts pitching a fit is not necessary to explain Roberts. Roberts loves SCOTUS more than he does the Constitution. He’s the typical institutionalist, spiced with some egotistical snobbery.
Now I see the story has been bulked up with “Lin Wood has the audio”. I have not seen anywhere that Wood himself says that – maybe I missed it – but if he does, ok. Put up or shut up. In the meantime, keep your head. This is a Dennis Montgomery/Hammer/Scorecard scenario. Bring your skepticism.

As guidance, the court “has been conducting its conferences remotely by phone since March when the building closed due to the pandemic,” a Supreme Court spokesperson told The Epoch Times via email on Friday in response to a question about the claim.
.
.
According to the Supreme Court’s website, the justices have not met in person for months in the midst of the CCP virus pandemic.
“The Court will hear all oral arguments scheduled for the November and December sessions by telephone conference. In keeping with public health guidance in response to COVID-19, the Justices and counsel will all participate remotely. The oral arguments are scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. On days when more than one case will be heard, there will be a three minute pause before the second case begins,” the court’s website says.

“Put not your trust in princes, they are but mortal.” Today’s reading from Psalms was really appropriate (longer than I normally post, but this does have some comfort in it):
1 [a] Do not fret because of evil men
or be envious of those who do wrong;
2 for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.
3 Trust in the LORD and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4 Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when men succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.
8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
do not fret—it leads only to evil.
9 For evil men will be cut off,
but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.
10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more;
though you look for them, they will not be found.
11 But the meek will inherit the land
and enjoy great peace.
12 The wicked plot against the righteous
and gnash their teeth at them;
13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
for he knows their day is coming.
14 The wicked draw the sword
and bend the bow
to bring down the poor and needy,
to slay those whose ways are upright.
15 But their swords will pierce their own hearts,
and their bows will be broken.
16 Better the little that the righteous have
than the wealth of many wicked;
17 for the power of the wicked will be broken,
but the LORD upholds the righteous.
18 The days of the blameless are known to the LORD,
and their inheritance will endure forever.
19 In times of disaster they will not wither;
in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.
20 But the wicked will perish:
The LORD’s enemies will be like the beauty of the fields,
they will vanish—vanish like smoke.

There is a variant that is 70% more infectious, tho not more deadly (so they say).
Nobody can move and people are beyond pissed off. I get the feeling from the comments that they’re not going to be able to enforce it and a lot of them don’t even believe it.
I’m guessing the ‘new variant’ mode will be an on-going scam. Oh, the airports are still open so expect ‘it’ to pop up here in a few weeks and the vaccines won’t work against it so all this ‘safety’ has just been rendered moot.
See how this works? And they always signal first, don’t they?
Susan Rice warns COVID-19 ‘is not the big one,’ future pandemic could be worse
“It’s not enough for the United States to get ourselves vaccinated to the point where we have, you know, a sufficient population immunity. It’s vitally important to our health and security that everyone else around the world achieve the same access to the vaccine, and develop the same degree of population immunity,” she said.
“If that doesn’t happen, what will happen is that this virus, this COVID-19, will evolve, not little mutations, but an evolution that makes it have a materially different type that is another wave of pandemic. It can come back and spread around the world and start us on this path again, where we’ll have to scramble for a different vaccine so that’s what we’ve got to avoid,” she added.

That doesn’t preclude Roberts yelling into a phone and being overheard from behind a door. But like you, if there is a phone call lets hear it. People want to project all this panic scenarios that need immediate actions but then don’t want to release a phone call they have a copy of that corroborates the scenario? Doesn’t make any sense. Lin Wood doesn’t have a phone recording. He is letting some of the hyperbole get away with him. Sometimes I think Trump is advising him on how to hyperbole effectively.
@ AZfederalist:
yes. It’s only a small minded judge that can’t assess the crime and scale the penalty up correctly.
Case 1 “Judge, my client stole $100 and doesn’t want to pay it back.”
Case 2 “Judge, my client stole $100,000,000 and doesn’t want to pay it back.”

Case 2: Well golly the law never anticipated this. I don’t know what to do. you have power and fame so lets just ignore this for now.

The weakness in the pandemic is failure to learn the lessons.
Immune system support seems to be the best path. Social distancing mechanics are good but can be improved to seem not so intrusive. Mask wearing is mostly just a polite handshake used to acknowledge a pandemic is abroad and that if you are a sick spreader with a fever you still decided to venture out into a crowd. but because you took a precaution.
Government doesn’t trust their citizens.
Government is not willing to be flexible and creative.
Government doesn’t follow its own rules.
Government exploits the pandemic to gain power and money.
IMO the only way to correct this massive corruption we are seeing is to have marital law for 2 or more years.
I don’t see the next election cycle as being any better than this one when everyone is slow walking the resolution to the corruption. It’s a national security risk. A big one. The military should realize the rug is being pulled out from underneath them. They won’t be able to prosecute terrorism much less defend the country when the CCP dictates Defund the Police become Defund the Military.

Studies show “White Christmas” is listened to 2.7 million times a day in December. At five people dead per playing, over the span of 18 days so far, that would mean 243 million people have died from the coronavirus.

A good point. I wonder what the functional social dynamic is among the justices? How do they communicate with each other? Are they silos?
What little intrigues do they use to get their favored cases looked at and others moved out of reach of the other justices?
what legal principles get abuses and which ones are underused.
Just looking at the media record of the three liberal justices there seems to be a problem in the court.
@ darkwords:
Nothing in the rhyme indicates that Humpty Dumpty was an egg.
Discuss.
My experience with judges as a plaintiff and defendant is they have a morning meeting in the courtroom between the Judges and all the lawyers. They joke around have fun with each other and create the legal narrative boundaries they want to pursue. None of the clients are privy to this.
Then the narrative is structured on the clients. Things can still change but some clients work from a handicap and other don’t.
Avoid court at all costs. Never talk to the police. Name, Rank, and Serial Number only.
Judges are godlike creatures who convinced of their lofty status love to pursue a decorum that shines forth from the bench like a light unto the unillumined ignorant world. Necessary in most criminal cases. Unnecessary in most civil cases. Judges will believe a lie as easily as anyone else. There are foolish judges who base their careers on frauds introduced into their courts.

Antifa violently confront law enforcement in Sacramento, Cal.
Sacramento has a huge LARPing community. Some of the shields look like their videos from youtube. And actually if someone was really into LARP these demonstrations would be a constant source of participation and enjoyment. When the shields start being painted with a coat of arms then you know the Rubicon has been crossed. I’m waiting for escalation to include some Sith Lords.
I’m watching ANTIFA fight no ANTIFA in Sacramento. The ANTIFA looks like their fight strategy is to confront the opponent with hands raised in peace while their compatriots circle around behind them looking to sucker punch someone.
The no ANTIFA needs to yank the peaceful antifa down and de mask them. I am surprised that de masking ANTIFA is not more popular. Sort of like taking a scalp.

Uproar at NYC’s posh Dalton School after faculty issues 8-page anti-racism manifest
Hiring 12 full-time diversity officers, and multiple psychologists to support students “coping with race-based traumatic stress.”
Assigning a staffer dedicated to black students who have “complaints or face disciplinary action,” and a full-time advocate to help black kids “navigate a predominantly white institution.”
Paying the student debt of black staffers upon hiring them.
Requiring courses that focus on “Black liberation” and “challenges to white supremacy.”
Compensating any student of color who appears in Dalton promotional material.
Abolishing high-level academic courses by 2023 if the performance of black students is not on par with non-blacks.
Requiring “anti-racism” statements from all staffers.
Overhauling the entire curriculum, reading lists and student plays to reflect diversity and social justice themes.
Divesting from companies that “criminalize or dehumanize” black people, including private prisons and tech firms that manufacture police equipment or weapons.
Donating 50 percent of all fundraising dollars to NYC public schools if Dalton is not representative of the city in terms of gender, race, socioeconomic background, and immigration status by 2025.
BUT – Dalton isn’t even open.
But Naked Dollar blogger Scott Johnston, who first revealed the manifesto Thursday, said of the demands: “Dalton’s teachers are refusing to come back until they are met.”
So some parents signed a petition to open the school and guess what –
But that petition was seen by some as racist because faculty of color were more likely to live in the outer boroughs or neighborhoods with high rates of COVID-19.

I had a great great uncle who was that man. Jasper Strutts and his brothers were conscripted, fought for the South. Jasper was captured at Vicksburg and was sent back home after signing papers that he’d never take up arms against the Union again.
He did take up arms against the Union again, and again he got captured. This time they said, “You’re staying with us now, boy.” They found out that Jasper was pretty good with horses and gave him a job, but eventually they got lax in keeping an eye on him, and he escaped.
Now he had a problem. If he was captured again he’d be shot for escaping. If he returned to his unit he’d be hung for aiding the enemy. He snuck back home, got his wife and child, and spent the rest of the war on the lam.

NOTHING CAN STOP WHAT IS COMING
Here is what we know right now as of the election in November.
Trump has court cases still pending that will go to the Supreme Court & thanks to TX case he now knows how to file it under article 3 not 2 that will force them to hear it. He has the DNI report on Friday. Barr steps down 23rd (can now be a witness—he did his job). Durham is now a special counsel (can prosecute in any state – the Bidens)
He’s letting civil, criminal, federal courts fail to handle the situation properly so he can use military tribunals. He has the data (all of it) from NSA, the Kraken supercomputer, the Alice supercomputer, (probably a couple others we haven’t heard about yet, too). He has the dueling electors from 7 states legislatures.
He has VP Pence as final arbiter of which ballots to accept on 1/6/20. He has the insurrection act. The NDAA, the national emergency, the 14th amendment, the 2018 executive order allowing for rejection of the election based on Foreign interference which we now know is true, the 2017 very first EO, the Patriot Act, the FISA warrants, the possible Declassification of everything including Wikileaks, people swear affidavits will by the 1000, the QR code scan guy who just needs access to some real ballots & he can detect if they are fake by looking for creases & printing items using his scanner technology.
Trump has all the statistical data being analyzed, the videos, emails, phone calls, bank transfer statements showing the coordination of the coup zickerberg manned it, Sorros funded it.
He has RICO, he has the crimes against humanity videos, Wikileaks just dropped a ton & Assange will be pardoned so he can talk about Seth Rich.
Now that the governors and secretary of states certified & Biden accepted, they committed and knowingly agreed to treason.
Solar Winds was just raided & Dominion is closing up shop. Same with politicians & media.
Dominion serves 40% of the US market. It is in 30 states.
– The state of Texas rejected the machines.
– Admiral Peter Neffenger is on Biden’s transition team.
– Peter Neffenger was the President and on the board of Smartmatic
– Smartmatic entered into an agreement with Dominion in 2009
– Smartmatic counted American votes in Venezuela
– Smartmatic is connected to Philippine voter fraud
– Smartmatic is run by Lord Mark Malloch Brown who works for George Soros.
– Brown chairs the Boards of a number of non-profit boards including the Open Society Foundation,
– Brown chairs the Centre for Global Development.
– Open society of course is owned by George Soros
– Smartmatic partnered with DLA Piper Global
– Douglas C. Emhoff works at DLA Piper Global
– Douglas C. Emhoff is Kamala Harris’s husband
– Guess who owns part of Dominion? Blum Capital Partners, L.P
– Guess who owns Blum Capital?
Richard C. Blum
– Richard C. Blum is husband to Dianne Feinstein. The California senator who helped head impeachment efforts.
Blum got much of his dirty money by buying thousands of foreclosed homes cheap during the Obama administration of families who lost their homes and turned them into Colony Homes
– Nancy Pelosi’s husband is also an investor
– An aide to Nancy Pelosi, Nadeam Elshami, was hired by the Dominion Voting Systems
– Dominion Voting Systems is literally listed on the Clinton Foundation website.
– “The DELIAN Project: Democracy through Technology” is the title of the page.
– Georgia Governor Kemp purchased machines after Texas and Florida rejected them
– Dominion Voting has a lobbyist named Jared Thomas
– Mitt Romney (one of the vocal Rhino Republicans saying Trump should accept the election results) is a stockholder in Dominion
– Jared Thomas was Governor Brian Kemp’s chief of staff and press secretary from 2012 to 2015
– You must remember the Feinstein-Kavanaugh-Soros connections to understand the depth
– Debra Katz (Christine Ford’s lawyer) worked for George-Soros at the Open Society Foundation.
– Debra Katz (Christine Ford’s lawyer) also worked at Project on Government Oversight (POGO).
– POGO is funded by Soros’s Open Society Foundation.
– POGO is the co-signer of the letter Diane Feinstein had on Kavanaugh.
– Kamala Harris did not prosecute One West Bank for their fraud
– Soros owned One West Bank.
– Now you know why a woman who placed 7th in her state is a VP candidate
He has the CIA servers from Germany used to change dominion machines, he will soon have access to the states machines too.
He baited them to staying in DC so they can be inaugurated, oops arrested. Biden hasn’t accepted any transition money nor has Kamala given up her seat.
The military has infiltrated Antifa & BLM & he has the financials. He knows exactly which politicians took Chinese & Soros money.
He put in Miller & Watnick. If there were ever a maneuver that could be characterized as “unleashing the Kraken,” this is it: President Trump just pardoned Gen. Michael Flynn, who was framed and vilified by the corrupt, treasonous deep state because Flynn refused to betray his country and serve as Obama’s DoD puppet.
Flynn is now a free man, and all the efforts of the deep state to destroy him have failed. But that’s only a tiny slice of the real story unfolding here. The far bigger story is that Flynn is being put back into play at the DoD, working alongside Ezra Cohen-Watnick and Chris Miller (now the Secretary of Defense) to deploy all available DoD resources to take down deep state traitors and defend the American republic against its domestic enemies.
He just replaced Kissinger & Allbright on the National Security Advisory Board with his loyalists. The military has been flying more planes over America and to Gitmo for the first time in years.
The navy just parked huge naval fleets on both coasts. The 82nd airborne is preparing for an operation (same group of Flynn & Donoghue).
Things are falling into place. He has it all. He is just laying out the case, building the narrative. He knows he won & they cheated. He gave them the chance to fix things. They chose not to. Now they all go down
Hold tight my Patriots.Timing is everything. Feel free to share!!!

@ Aussie Infidel:
The underlying current of change is definitely one of moving to marxist methods. The competitors are probably Big Capitalism and Big Military.
I’m not positive the country will survive 4 years of wokeness under Biden. Thus I am behind the martial law solution. Never thought I would be. Never ever thought about it.
But the left is playing a mental game and winning it by forcing the GoP to be ethical. Or the media does them in. There comes a time when a general or an admiral has to step up and realize that and say baloney. I hear though that the US Military command is loaded with lefties.
Not sure how people feel about Chinese.
Priscilla Chan (Zuckerberg’s wife) Seems like she would be a woke person. China would be interested in her but she is probably only interested in China as far as Zuckerberg’s interests would go. Probably a target of opportunity for the CCP and would need to be extra vigilant.
Elaine Chao ( McConnells wife) From Taiwn, Her family fled the atrocities of Mao. She would be anti CCP. She does have a mentor Julia_Chang_Bloch who might appear to be part of the CCP attempts to install themselves into American Colleges. Her father has extensive shipping ties with mainland china.
I would look to Gordon Chang who I think calls this clearly. He states that we apply western values of fair play to China when China IS interested in turning the United States into a part of Chinese hegemony. China is playing a planetary game to make them the leading power. Trump is the only one who has recognized this at a national level. Most of the elite military and businesses are paid by the CCP to look the other way.
I’ve known lots of Chinese are are virulently anti CCP but love China. But their favor is curried by China to soften the effect. Most Chinese wouldn’t mind more of China everywhere. Their culture is centered around that idea. Trump was doing the right thing by calling out China. Biden will fail.
Modern thoughts.
China has words that culturally call white people white devils and black people black devils.
A part of Africa culture I talked to assumes Chinese are yellow devils.
Across the board the only acceptable devil is the green devil of money.
There are large segments of the Chinese and African populations that demonize each other. In the US we might consider that just a passing imagination or fantasy. But those two cultures still take demons pretty seriously.
Convince Africa that the Chinese are demons and anti Christian then a lot of their influence goes away. Amplify their own culture. A lot of African are still vastly upset about colonization. But also love the hustle of capitalism. There is a clash in Africa occurring that we are ignoring. We need to be supporting capitalism there that benefits Africans.

At least you guys still have a few thousand warheads up your sleeves and THAT tends to slow down the likes of Nation States on the make like China from just waking in and making themselves at home. Without nukes middle ranking NationStates like Oz get rolled over by the PLA. Oz was half way to manufacturing their own nukes in 1960 but the US warned both the UK and Oz against getting Oz the ‘bomb’. All we ended up with was 3 research reactors and two huge rotting holes in the ground where twin breeder reactors were supposed to be. The promise was the US would always provide a nuclear umbrella and there was a case for non-proliferation bandied about.
Now it’s a whole new neighbour out here in the SW Pacific and we ‘ain’t got ‘nuttin’!

Good morning!
https://summit.news/2020/12/21/scientists-mps-ask-where-is-evidence-of-70-more-contagious-mutant-covid/
They are going to burn Boris and Hancock on the stake, I swear.
Scientists, MPs Ask ‘Where Is Evidence Of 70% More Contagious Mutant COVID?’
The Daily Mail reports that Carl Heneghan, Professor of Evidence Based Medicine at Oxford University’s Nuffield Department of Primary Care, has expressed scepticism over the 70 per cent figure.
“I’ve been doing this job for 25 years and I can tell you can’t establish a quantifiable number in such a short time frame,” Heneghan said.
“Every expert is saying it’s too early to draw such an inference,” the professor added.
“I would want to have very clear evidence rather than ‘we think it’s more transmissible’ so we can see if it is or not,” Heneghan continued.
“It has massive implications, it’s causing fear and panic, but we should not be in this situation when the Government is putting out data that is unquantifiable,” the professor further urged.
“They are fitting the data to the evidence. They see cases rising and they are looking for evidence to explain it,” Heneghan declared.
The ‘mutant strain’ has been circulating since September, according to the government, with Prime Minister Boris Johnson using it to justify literally cancelling Christmas.
Some guy on Varney said we’ve known about this strain for months (Matt McCarthy) and has probably been here for months. There’s no evidence it’s 70% more transmissible
