  1. Why Is The Left Suddenly Talking About A ‘Coup’ At The Ballot Box? Issues & Insights, by The Editorial Board For the past three years, the left has claimed Donald Trump lied about the 2020 election and then attempted an insurrection on Jan. 6 to overturn the results. But now that Trump is leading in polls, the left is talking ominously about a “coup.” Pay attention, because if Trump wins in 2024, this will be how the left tries to stop him from getting anything done. At a protest in Washington, D.C., a week ago – organized by a group that calls itself “Stop the Coup 2025” – Markus Batchelor, the national political director of People for the American Way, told the crowd that “Jan. 6 was just a dress rehearsal.” So is this group predicting Trump will try to take over in 2025 even if Biden wins reelection? Not exactly. He went on to say that coups “don’t need weapons to succeed.” He said that “coups can be committed by pen and paper,” “coups can be committed at the ballot,” and “coups can be committed by seemingly democratic processes.” Come again? The definition of “coup d’etat” in Merriam-Webster’s dictionary is “the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group.” What is Batchelor saying? That if Trump wins in November it will be the equivalent of a violent overthrow of government? Basically, yes. The Stop the Coup website says that: “The GOP plans to install a Day One Dictator and dismantle our democracy.” https://issuesinsights.com/2024/02/08/why-is-the-left-suddenly-talking-about-a-coup-at-the-ballot-box/ ,
  2. Panic at DNC HQ As Dems Hit Flashing Red Lights Territory With Black, Hispanic Voters We've written before about the slow but steady erosion of support from black and Hispanic voters for the Democratic Party, something that became very pronounced during Donald Trump's presidency as he and the RNC courted core left-wing voting blocs by explaining they had a lot more in common with the GOP than they did Democrats. Since Trump left office, the decline in alliances among these same voters for Democrats has continued, but the most recent numbers from Gallup on this front suggest that Dems aren't looking at just a trickling loss of support but a flood as fed-up black and Hispanic Americans are saying "adios" to Democrats in droves. https://redstate.com/sister-toldjah/2024/02/07/the-dam-breaks-panic-at-dnc-hq-as-dems-hit-flashing-red-lights-territory-with-black-hispanic-voters-n2169780
  3. How to negotiate with the Democrats who for 3 years told us there is no crisis at the border https://twitter.com/ComfortablySmug/status/1754886049468150084 ENFORCE THE LAWS ! .
  4. Quick reminder: This whole thread was a made up delusion of our local jester. There was a proposal made by a republican The democrats had the majority NO law was passed. But facts never stopped fools. I was correct then and I still am.
  5. Hmmmmmm. Europe farmers protests: EU scraps plans to halve pesticide use The head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, has announced plans to scrap a proposal halving pesticide use across the EU. The move is an apparent concession to farmers who have been protesting in many EU countries against regulations including the planned reduction in pesticide use. Ms von der Leyen said the proposal had become a "symbol of polarisation". The reversal still needs to be formally approved. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68218907

  8. Open up, and swallow the lies. It's blindingly obvious that the mainstream media, which has ignored the border for three years, has taken up the narrative that the GOP voted against a bill that would have "closed" the border. NBC News is reporting that even the White House is "accelerating plans" to criticize Republicans for sinking the bipartisan bill hammered out by Sens. James Lankford and Chuck Schumer. The bill did not address the core issues. The people know what is going on. The bill had many flaws. The people need to go back to the table and do more work that makes sense. https://twitchy.com/brettt/2024/02/07/nbc-news-white-house-accelerating-plans-to-hit-republicans-for-tanking-border-bill-n2392683
  9. So, let’s tear this thing apart, shall we? For starters, Ginni Thomas was not involved in Jan. 6. She was present at the rally but was not among those who went to the Capitol building afterward. She was not even named by congressional investigators as one of the individuals involved in the riot. The effort to remove Trump from the ballot seeks to use a provision in the 14th Amendment that prohibits people who participated in a rebellion against the government from holding office. It was originally intended to apply to former members of the Confederacy. Those seeking to use this provision against Trump argue that he fomented an insurrection against the government on Jan. 6, and that Ginni Thomas was somehow involved, which would mean that her husband should not be involved in adjudicating the case. However, if there is no evidence that Ginni was involved, their argument falls apart. Next, we have the inconvenient reality that there was no actual “insurrection,” nor did Trump incite anyone to violence. At no point did he advocate for rioting or other type of violent activity in response to the outcome of the election. In fact, during his speech, he urged his supporters to protest “peacefully and patriotically” at the Capitol building. This is not exactly the language one would expect from someone trying to incite a riot, is it? Lastly, those calling for Thomas’ recusal don’t actually believe the words coming out of their mouths and digital pens. Not a single one of these people had the same energy for Fulton County (Georgia) district attorney Fani Willis, who recently admitted to having a romantic affair with one of the prosecutors she hired to prosecute the former president for election interference. But we know what this is all about, don’t we, dear reader? They don’t want Thomas to recuse himself because of his wife. They want him to recuse himself because they know he is more likely to vote against removing Trump from the ballot. Folks on the left see that this strategy might go up in smoke, and they are desperate to do something about it. At the end of the day, the 14th Amendment stratagem isn’t about protecting the Constitution, it is about influencing the upcoming election--nothing more, nothing less. https://redstate.com/jeffc/2024/02/07/dick-durbin-needs-to-shut-the-hell-up-about-clarence-thomas-and-the-14th-amendment-case-n2169799

  14. Trump Scores Endorsement from International Union of Police Associations The International Union of Police Associations (IUPA) endorsed former President Donald Trump in his White House bid on Tuesday, as polling shows crime is a top issue to the American electorate. In a press release, IUPA President Sam Cabral announced that the organization’s executive board of directors unanimously endorsed Trump.“President Trump’s history of support for the men and women of Law Enforcement is unmatched. His policies and actions were directed at improving safety in our communities and the men and women who provide that shield,” the release stated, adding that the 45th president “earned and deserves” the IUPA’s “wholehearted support.” https://cdn.nucleusfiles.com/b8/b82a1320-ec43-4d57-a877-b9f0e313b311/trump-iupa-press-release.pdf? .
