No Longer Consenting, Carlsbad California Restaurant Owners Defy Order and Open for Indoor Dining…

..”If the public are bound to yield obedience to laws to which they cannot give their approbation, they are slaves to those who make such laws and enforce them.”..  ~Sam Adams

The power of government comes from the people; or as we say in the U.S. “from the consent of the governed.” When people lead, the politicians are forced to follow. Without implied consent the municipal or state government has no power. None.

The power of the local, regional or state authority comes from the expressed consent of the people. As soon as the majority of people deny that consent, those officials and state authoritarians lose all of their power.  Yes, it really is that simple.  WATCH:

Those who construct the systems of control need to weaponize fear. Fear of arrest; fear of losing a business; fear of losing liberty or financial security. Local, regional and state officials rely on fear. As soon as We The People are no longer fearful, the control ends.

President Trump Invited to CPAC – Has The Time for CPAC Ended – Is It Time for a MAGA Convention

The Washington Examiner notes today that President Trump has been invited to attend the annual CPAC convention (Conservative Political Action Conference).  However, as long-term CTH readers will note, we hold no positive opinion on CPAC.

I would question if the time has come to conclude CPAC is a gathering of the same institutional political types that got us into this mess.  Y’all know my answer to that question has existed for seven years: CPAC is an assembly of fraud and abuse.

In their effort to be politically correct (aka culturally Marxist) the list of people who have been banned from CPAC is long.  Robert Spencer, Pam Geller, Milo, and now Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R, GA).  Any strong voice who has taken on the leftist movement in the U.S. (without regard for the nonsense rules espoused by the Alinsky community) has been ostracized from the conservative conference.

CPAC has, in essence, become a place where the establishment GOP dictates whose voice is permitted and who is essentially too deplorable to be heard.  Yes, there are some strong voices that show up, including President Donald Trump, Sarah Palin, Nigel Farage, Michelle Malkin, and other axe swinging wolverines who are deep in the fight.  However, the brutally honest point is things have changed…..

There should be new rules and a new confrontational attitude if we are going to save this republic.  CPAC and the pinkie raised champagne toasts just ain’t cutting it.  We are on the damn precipice, and the CPAC crew act like reaching across the aisle is a possible way to avoid the gallows.   This is a cycle of abuse we can no longer tolerate. We will not survive.

REPORT: Nikki Haley Wanted Meeting With President Trump at Mar-a-Lago, Trump Turned Her Down

Without doubt the always positioning, conniving, scheming and politically smarmy Decepticon, Nikki Haley, is planning to use the GOPe apparatus in her effort to become the republican nominee in 2024.  This is as certain as the sunrise tomorrow.

However, that said, Haley is now a fully exposed DeceptiCon; except -of course- in the eyes of the most entrenched of the professional political class.   [NOTE – CTH archives are of value when researching Nikki Haley on these issues.]

This brief excerpt from POLITICO today highlights that President Trump is now well aware of Haley’s motives and elitist intents.  As the BIG UGLY unfolds, there will be many left to wither.  Nikki shall be one of many.

 

NIKKI HALEY reached out to former President DONALD TRUMP on Wednesday to request a sit-down at Mar-a-Lago, but a source familiar tells Playbook that he turned her down. The two haven’t spoken since the insurrection on Jan. 6, when Haley blasted Trump for inciting his supporters to storm the Capitol.  (link)

Larry Kudlow Takes Exception to Kamala Harris Vaccine Claims

‘Heels-up’ Harris made the ridiculous claim that the Trump administration did nothing to set up the JoeBama administration with a COVID vaccine plan.  During an introduction segment for Larry Kudlow’s new Fox Business show, the former National Economic Council Chairman took exception during a hot-mic moment.  The generally affable Kudlow can be heard to say: “bulls**t” while off camera.

President Trump Releases Statement on Senator Mitch McConnell: “Mitch is a dour, sullen, and unsmiling political hack”

President Trump appears to have triggered the Big Ugly, the confrontation against the DeceptiCon wing of the Uniparty, with a full-throated rebuke of Senator Mitch McConnell.

This statement from President Donald Trump is a good indicator of what lies ahead:

Mitch McConnell Deployed His Anti-Trump Ploy in The Exact Same Manner He Deployed Against The Tea Party…

An interesting, insightful and accurate article from Christopher Bedford in The Federalist [SEE HERE] outlines how Mitch McConnell delivered his impeachment floor speech as a ploy to destroy the MAGA movement.  Bedford notes how Senator Lindsey Graham even outlined how McConnell’s attack was purposefully written and delivered to give any Democrat opponent in 2022 ammunition against Republican senators up for re-election.

However, what Bedford and Graham did not directly speak about is: (a) the historic pattern within exactly what Mitch McConnell did; and (b) the motive for him doing so.

Several DeceptiCon senators have already announced they will not run for re-election in 2020 [Shelby, Toomey, Burr, Portman and Johnson].  In the 2022 Senate races there are 34 seats up for grabs.  14 are held by Democrats and 20 are held by tenuous Republicans.  [Breakdown Here] Due to vulnerability, their lack of support amid the republican base, and their insufferable 2020 behavior outing them as DeceptiCons it is almost guaranteed the GOP will lose seats in the 2022 mid-term election. Those exiting senators, among others, know what McConnell’s objective is.  They also know this time the damage is far greater than previous times McConnell set about to destroy the base of the party.

Most casual political observers have absolutely no idea how McConnell works.  However, for over a decade CTH has been trying –mostly failing– to awaken the base of common sense voters.  In 2010, 2011 and 2012 the #1 priority for McConnell was to destroy the threat represented by the Tea Party.  In 2022 we are seeing an exact replay of the same intents and purposes, only this time the target is President Trump’s MAGA movement.

President Trump Attorney Michael van der Veen Discusses Trump Acquittal

The Senate voted Saturday to acquit former President Donald Trump on a ridiculous charge of inciting a January 6th insurrection at the DC Capitol. Following the vote, defense attorney Michael van der Veen joined Fox News to give his accounting:

Senate Votes to Acquit President Trump – Seven DeceptiCons Showcase The UniParty: Burr, Collins, Cassidy, Murkowski, Romney, Sasse and Toomey

It was really a no-brainer going into the entire fiasco of a ridiculously political impeachment effort.  For all their scheming, machinations and insufferable disconnect from a moral nation, these DC officials know they do not represent America.  Additionally, they know 75 million people voted to support President Trump… THAT LOOMS LARGE.

In the end the Senate voted to acquit President Donald Trump by a 57-43 vote that began just after 3:30pm ET after closing arguments.  The Republicans who shamelessly voted to convict are the same cast of DeceptiCon characters we see in every vote: Richard Burr (NC), Bill Cassidy (LA), Susan Collins (ME), Lisa Murkowski (AK), the ever insufferable Mitt Romney (UT), Ben Sasse (NE), and Pat Toomey (PA).  [Toomey and Burr are not seeking reelection 2022.]

WASHINGTON DC – […]  Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.)said in a striking post-acquittal speech that Trump was “morally and practically responsible” for the Jan. 6 insurrection but he is “constitutionally not eligible for conviction” because he is no longer in office.
