An American Dissident Sounds a Trumpet

Posted without commentary. There is great truth here… Follow the link:

BRENT HAMACHEK – […] For those of us who still believe in and embrace the ideas of our founding, for those who believe that the individual and their liberty are of paramount importance and prime value, for those of us who believe that free market capitalism is the most moral and just system for organizing economic activity, we need to have an epiphany. We need to awaken to the reality that we are not a majority. We are not a vocal minority with the same rights as the majority. We are now dissidents. We do not have the same voice as our ever-strengthening oppressors, and we do not have the same rights that they enjoy.

For those who might argue that there more of us, or at least as many of us, who believe in individual liberty and free market capitalism than there are opponents to same, I would suggest that you should not confuse a simple head count with total political atomic mass. The positions within society that our opponents hold and the institutions and machinery they control gives them leverage beyond simple membership numbers.

As to our being cast in the role of dissidents, we have no choice. How we conduct ourselves in that role will be the difference between having a chance over the long term to ultimately prevail or having to spend a century or more under the totalitarian’s thumb. We need to understand the role we are in, the most effective course of action we can take, and above all, we must understand and accept our limitations. A failure to understand and accept the latter will only deepen and prolong our subjugation.  (read more)

Lara Trump Hints At President Trump 2024 Race

In this podcast, at the 24:00 minute mark, Lara Trump hints that President Trump will again run for the presidency in 2024: “People are going to come out in full force if he runs again in 2024; which, stay tuned, I think he may.”   WATCH:

Strategically, I hope President Trump does run again – even if he doesn’t want to – for two reasons: (1) Because President Trump will plow the field and destroy the GOPe nominee, likely Nikki Haley; and (2) because even if 45 does not really want the nomination, his participation, and subsequent endorsement, will determine the winner.

That approach would essentially be President Trump running again just to crush the beltway and then select the nominee within the field that will be the future of MAGA.

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.

California, Recall Governor Gavin Newsom Petition Hits 1.5 Million Signature Milestone

The effort to recall California Governor Gavin Newsom announced a major milestone accomplishment today as they have gathered over 1.5 million signatures to initiate the recall effort.    However, the patriots who are organizing the recall effort still want to gather an additional 300 to 500 thousand extra signatures to avoid any challenges.

After reaching the milestone, the California GOP announced they would provide the volunteer group with $125,000 in funding to help pay for the remaining campaign effort. This is in addition to the RNC recently providing 250,000 to help better organize the next steps in the recall.

CALIFORNIA – […] Organizers say they have collected over 1.5 million signatures so far, although it’s not clear how many of them will be disqualified because of technical or other errors. Committees behind the recall hope to gather well beyond the required 1.5 million, to ensure it qualifies.
