The Split in The Republican Party Showcased By Kevin McCarthy and Liz Cheney

During a press question and answer period the dividing line inside the republican party became publicly clear again today.  When responding to a question about whether President Trump should speak to the CPAC audience Kevin McCarthy said “yes he should.”  However, Liz Cheney -who is the #3 leadership position- said: “I don’t believe he should be playing a role in the party going forward.”  WATCH

Thus the ridiculous position of the Republican party is on display.  Keep in mind the party caucus recently agreed to keep Liz Cheney in her leadership role after she voted to impeach President Trump.  Her remarks today were intentionally antagonistic and intentionally public.  She is sneering in the face of 80,000,000 voters and laughing while she does it.  Ms. Cheney could have chosen to say nothing… but she made a choice.

The DeceptiCon wing of the party feels emboldened by the lack of the MAGA contingent to push back forcefully against them.   There are times when it becomes necessary to separate from bad people and unfortunately the Republican party does not seem capable of getting rid of the conniving corrupt internal elements.  It will be up to the voters of Wyoming to remove Cheney from politics.  Let us hope a strong primary candidate will do the job.

February 24th – 2021 Presidential Politics – Resistance Day #36

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

~ Mike Vanderboegh

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Wednesday February 24th – Open Thread

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Georgia Senate Candidate David Perdue Reverses Course and Will Not Run Again

According to Atlanta media former Georgia Senator David Perdue had a phone call with President Trump that did not go well and led to Perdue changing his mind on a run for office after previously filing paperwork to do so.  Hopefully this report is accurate, and President Trump is starting to lay the groundwork for MAGA-minded challengers to enter the political world and challenge the establishment republican candidates.

GEORGIA – Former Sen. David Perdue announced Tuesday he will not challenge Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) for his seat in the 2022 midterms, reversing course after filing paperwork declaring his candidacy.

In a statement first sent by email to supporters, Perdue (R-Ga.) said that he and his wife, Bonnie, had decided against him re-entering the political arena.

“This is a personal decision, not a political one. I am confident that whoever wins the Republican Primary next year will defeat the Democrat candidate in the General election for this seat and I will do everything I can to make that happen,” the former senator wrote, saying he had come to this decision “after much prayer and reflection.” (read more)

You might remember when David Perdue attempted to speak at a MAGA rally in Georgia and the crowd drowned him immediately with chants of “fight for Trump“.  Senator Perdue ran from the stage.

Mitch McConnell Will Vote to Confirm Merrick Garland as U.S. Attorney General

U.S. Attorney General nominee Merrick Garland stated during his congressional testimony that Antifa was not a terrorist or extremist group, and agreed that congress should censor the internet.  Garland is allied with Lawfare, and has expressed an interest in weaponizing the position of the AG in order for the DOJ to continue targeting political enemies.

That said, it does not come as a surprise to see Senator Mitch McConnell support Garland. Mitch supports any system or nominee that will remove any entity that is considered a threat to the professional political class. Indeed, we should expect to see the majority of the DeceptiCon coalition vote to confirm Garland.  This is how the UniParty works.

WASHINGTON DC – Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell will support Merrick Garland’s nomination for attorney general, five years after blocking the judge’s path to the Supreme Court.

“I do,” McConnell told POLITICO Tuesday afternoon when asked if he plans to back Garland. The Kentucky Republican did not elaborate on his decision. (read more)

JoeBama Administration Reactivates President Trump’s Migrant Facilities for Children, Media Suddenly Swoon About Them

A remarkable contrast in manipulative media narrative engineering.  President Trump built a migrant facility for unaccompanied alien children in 2019 and was lambasted by mainstream media for it.  Today the Joe Biden administration activates the exact same facility and the media are swooning over the compassionate care facility.

CARRIZO SPRINGS, Tex. — Dozens of migrant teens boarded vans Monday for the trip down a dusty road to a former man camp for oil field workers here, the first migrant child facility opened under the Biden administration.

The emergency facility — a vestige of the Trump administration that was open for only a month in summer 2019 — is being reactivated to hold up to 700 children ages 13 to 17.

Prayers for Tiger Woods, Undergoing Surgery Following Car Crash

Media are reporting that professional golfer Tiger Woods has been taken to a local hospital for emergency surgery on his legs after a car crash near Los Angeles.

GOLF DIGEST – Tiger Woods was hospitalized after being involved in a single-car accident in Los Angeles on Tuesday morning. According to his agent, Mark Steinberg, Woods suffered “multiple” leg injuries.

“He is currently in surgery,” Steinberg told Golf Digest, “and we thank you for your privacy and support.”

According to a statement from the L.A. County Sherriff’s Department, police responded to a “roll-over traffic collision” at approximately 7:12 a.m. “The driver and sole occupant was identified as PGA golfer, Eldrick ‘Tiger’ Woods. Mr. Woods was extricated from the wreck with the ‘jaws of life’ by Los Angeles County firefighters and paramedics, then transported to a local hospital by ambulance for his injuries.” (read more)

It looks like Tiger Woods was driving a new Genesis GV80.

Georgia ‘Professionally Political’ Republicans Blame-cast Base for Senate Election Result, A Great Example of the GOPe Disconnect

[Hat Tip John Fredricks, for the meeting particulars]  The Forsyth County, Georgia, republican party held a meeting to discuss why their senate candidates failed to win the run-off election in January.  The screenshot of their justification is a case study in why the republican apparatus fails, and why the challenge to reform the party is so difficult.

First, it is important to filter through what is described as the “Tea Party” support base within the professional republican apparatus.  Genuine Tea Party outlooks are in total alignment with the MAGA perspectives of Donald Trump.  However, there are elements within the republican party that are more traditionally GOPe-minded and yet assign themselves to the outlook of the Tea Party. There is a difference, but more on that in a moment.  Here’s how the Forsyth County political activists are explaining:

Notice, the Forsyth County GOP blame-cast against the base of voters by identifying people they view as outside the party interest.  They blame libertarians, populists, Trump, Steve Bannon, John Fredricks and even the candidates themselves which includes Doug Collins for being too outside the base of voter enthusiasm.  This view tells us what the mindset of the internal republican network in Forsyth County is !!

Do not just dismiss their justification as presented.  CTH warned in 2014 and 2015 this ideological outlook, this disconnect from the reality of the base, would lead to a big problem…. and it has.  I shall provide a concrete example below of just how dangerous this fracture is within our constitutional republic.  The reason we need more trumpet.

As a person who has traveled extensively in the past decade+ to engage the base of middle-class support that represents MAGA, I can attest that the disconnect between the republican party apparatus and the base of voters they depend on is a severe problem. Without correction… there is no alternative other than to create a THIRD party.

Senate Homeland Security Committee Hearing on January 6 Capitol Hill Riot

Today the Senate Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs and Rules & Administration Committees are holding a joint hearing “Examining the January 6 Attack on the US Capitol.” The witnesses: Metropolitan Police Dept. acting chief Robert Contee III, former US Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund, former Senate Sergent at Arms Michael Stenger, and former House Sergent at Arms Paul Irving are scheduled to answer questions.

The goal of the Democrat-Fascist party, currently in the majority position, is to label any challenge to the fraudulent JoeBama administration as an insurrection; and any Americans who would question their authority to be labeled a domestic terrorist.  The walls, barbed wire and military troops protecting DC from the public remain in place.
