It’s 2024. Can we please be sincere?
Victor Davis Hanson, one of many legendary conservative thinkers of our time, launched Half 1 of his sequence – “Who’re the Actual Insurrectionists?” on his X account at 10:31 PM on Sunday evening because the clock winded down on 2023.
Victor begins his sequence by describing the most recent actions by Maine Secretary of State and former ACLU activist Shenna Bellows.
Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows simply ordered Trump’s identify faraway from the first poll in Might. She claimed he’s responsible in her view of “riot”—a criminal offense Trump has by no means been charged with, a lot much less convicted of.
Her proof, largely gleaned from standard information accounts and video stories, wouldn’t arise in a courtroom of regulation.
Bellows has no regulation diploma. She was appointed by a majority vote of the Democratic-controlled Maine legislature, not by a well-liked poll. Her authorized experience appears to be derived from years of political activism with the ACLU.
We will see the place the last word trajectory of this usurpation goes—as soon as a single official decides to take away the main main and common election candidate of the opposition from the poll by fiat. Tit-for-tat will doubtless comply with and would unwind the republic.
Take Bellows’ motion after which apply it to any future candidacy of Hillary Clinton…
Possibly Victor forgot what yr that is and what we simply all witnessed in 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020, and the final 4 years earlier than that.
We aren’t witnessing a “tit-for-tat.” That’s NOT the fact of our American lives at this time.
How we WISH there was a tit-for-tat! That might be a step up from the place we’re and have been!
Victor, what we are literally residing by is all ‘tit’ and no ‘tat.’
** When the deep state Obama leftovers within the FBI and DOJ spied on President Trump, his household, his daughter, his marketing campaign, his administration, all primarily based on a lie they knew was a lie, nothing occurred to the perpetrators. Nobody went to jail. Nobody went bankrupt. Nobody was locked up for 1,000 days with out trial. Not one particular person suffered for this historic prison act. Most of the perpetrators maintain common gigs on cable “information.” And the Washington Submit and New York Occasions haven’t even returned their superb Pulitzers for mendacity to the American public for 3 years straight – and counting!
** When the battleground states all colluded and introduced they’d cease counting ballots on election evening in 2020 – after which mysteriously produced a whole lot of hundreds of Joe Biden votes in the course of the evening. Nothing occurred. There have been no arrests. Invoice Barr didn’t elevate a finger to research.
** When Texas Legal professional Normal Ken Paxton and 18 states filed the Texas vs. Pennsylvania lawsuit towards the 4 battleground states that violated the US Structure by altering election procedures by non-legislative means, the Supreme Courtroom refused to listen to the case. SCOTUS stated Texas lacked standing when this was clearly not correct. There was no tit-for-tat.
** When GOP observers had been locked out of the poll counting rooms in each main metropolis within the battleground states, did Chris Wray ship within the FBI? No, in fact not. The Democrats locked the rooms, blocked the view, and continued to rely suspect ballots till Joe Biden pulled forward, they usually known as the state for Outdated Joe. They even “overcame” a 800,000 Trump lead in Pennsylvania on election evening! This was NEVER investigated. Chris Wray didn’t elevate a finger.
** When USPS contract drivers reported trailers full of accomplished ballots had been moved from New York to Pennsylvania within the 2020 election, Invoice Barr called off the investigation.
** When Georgia election employees had been caught operating stacks of ballots by the voting machines as much as 4 occasions every after they despatched the GOP observers dwelling — they sued the reporters who broke the story (Gateway Pundit) and acquired a corrupt DC courtroom to award them $148 million from Rudy Giuliani! Did ANY Republican dare to elevate a finger to assist Rudy Giuliani? Hell no!
** When Democrats, Antifa, Marxists and BLM rioted in cities throughout the US in 2020 inflicting as much as $2 billion harm — a whole lot of those self same rioters got paid!
** When Trump supporters had been fired on by police with none warning with rubber bullets, smoke bombs, sound grenades and gallons of pepper spray had been there later arrested, many had been held in jail for 1,000 days with out trial!
** Grandmas and docs had their doorways broke down.
** Lots of of patriotic Individuals had their houses raided at 6 AM by armed FBI brokers for strolling contained in the open doorways of the US Capitol. Most Republicans had been TOO EMBARRASSED to talk out for over a yr. Some nonetheless are. They let these women and men rot in jail. They allowed them to take a seat in kangaroo courts and to be sentenced with YEARS in jail for the occasions that day. Most are bankrupt. Households are shattered, 6 Trump supporters are useless – a minimum of. 4 had been killed that day and weren’t even talked about within the flagrantly dishonest January 6 Committee Report… The place was the pushback? THERE WASN’T ANY! This abuse continues to be happening at this time. And the state media continues to be pushing the lies to at the present time!
** When Chris Wray was questioned about FBI brokers infiltrating the Trump crowds on January 6, he lied. When will he be held to account? He gained’t!
** When information broke (many stories on this web site) of maximum abuse of the Trump supporters in jail at this time what was the response? Not a peep.
** When the government- leftist teams – and the tech giants colluded to silence and destroy conservative information shops, what occurred? The conservative information shops went out of enterprise. Many of those shops that had been left realized to not report on sensitive topics like election fraud, COVID, or Donald Trump = or lose their advertisements and social media visitors.
** In 2016, this web site ranked because the 4th most influential conservative media outlet on Fb and Twitter. So the tech giants focused us and at this time our social media visitors is negligible. Thank God our visitors retains rising anyway. We spoke out about this in 2017. We spoke before Congress in 2018. It was solely in 2022 that courageous Republican leaders, Missouri Senator, then Legal professional Normal, Eric Schmitt and Louisiana governor elect and present Legal professional Normal Jeff Landry, together with The Gateway Pundit and others, filed a lawsuit that the federal government and tech giants, and leftist organizations had been finally called out for their unconstitutional behavior. The place was the tit-for-tat? THERE WASN’T ANY!
** When President Trump’s dwelling was raided for taking dwelling categorised paperwork and Melania’s underwear drawer was searched by FBI heavies, the place was the tit-for-tat? Only some hundred protesters met outdoors his dwelling. And now we all know that Joe Biden held categorised paperwork for many years, even in an open storage! However Joe will get a tough move.
** When Joe Biden’s prison actions had been present in his son’s laptop computer together with a whole lot of porn photos and illicit pay-for-play enterprise offers the place was the tit-for-tat? Republicans nonetheless haven’t held a single impeachment listening to. They even went on trip after Hunter Biden skipped his deposition and mocked them on the US Senate constructing.
** When a loopy, homely girl stated President Trump purchased her lingerie at New York Metropolis division retailer after which raped her someday round 30 years in the past, Trump was hauled into courtroom and charged with rape! The place was the outrage, the mass protests, the property harm? Nothing occurred.
** President Trump is at the moment being harassed by a crazed New York Legal professional Normal for fees that by no means ought to have been filed and by no means ought to have seen a day in courtroom. But, this ongoing showtrial continues to be making headlines and Trump continues to be being dragged in to show he’s harmless – the burden is on him – not the prison and unimpressive AG.
We may go on and on and on and on…
So when clever and revered Republicans and conservatives warn that the present Marxist takeover of America may carry on a ‘tit-for-tat,’ we beg to vary.
It’s 2024. Can we please be sincere and stop fooling ourselves?
Our lives are too necessary to proceed to play these faux video games.
We love you, Victor. Can we please be sincere?
Right here is Victor’s full tweet.
