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 †

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)
It appears the bloom is off the ruse, at least with Sky News. In one of the first admissions to what is transparently obvious, an Australian news pundit finally points out that Joe Biden has cognitive issues. The vast majority of Americans already know this, but the U.S. media have been pretending not to know for well over a year. WATCH:
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.
..”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.
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.
“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.”
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 †
After Greg Kelly interviewed President Trump on a variety of topics, Google removed the video from You Tube claiming a violation of community standards. Tonight, Greg Kelly recaps that interview and other topics.
‘We The People’ stand with President Trump; Big Tech is scared of that – Bigly.
.
One point on the media overall. The far-left is addicted to Trump. Their ratings are collapsing because they have no other topic to fill their cup. Democrats cannot quit Trump…. They are addicted to him. Without Trump, Democrats have no identity.
Over the past several weeks the tech team behind CTH 2.0 has been working on a test site to optimize the battle-tank known as The Last Refuge. This is phase-3 of the CTH anti-fragile system, know as the optimization phase.
The goal of optimization is to take the decades-old weight of our site, lighten the server load, increase the response time and simultaneously generate a site that optimizes based on the type of hardware being used by reader: desktops, laptops, tablets and mobile phones.
When CTH originally launched over a decade ago the theme was responsive to desktop and laptop computer users. Mobile platforms were in their infancy. Now more than half of website users are coming to sites from tablets or phones. The optimization phase will make those user experiences easier and more responsive.
The landing page of CTH will not change too much (example image on left). However, each of the top links “About Us”, “guidelines” etc will generate a different impression for the user. The right margin will be streamlined on the Main landing page, and we will be introducing an alliance of allies to replace the old-school blogroll.
Most of the decisions for the layout, font and navigability have been worked out; and now the coding is underway to generate the final product. Once that is established we will run it through the paces on the test site before switching over; much like the process we used when we switched from WordPress/Automattic to our own server network.
Several website operators have reached out asking us to provide details on the infrastructure being used to stay “anti-fragile”, meaning outside the reach of big tech. There may come a day when that information is possible to share, but it will not be in the near future. CTH is operating with an abundance of caution in the era of deplatforming and targeting.
