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.

As a consequence Senators Richard Burr (NC), Ron Johnson (WI) and Pat Toomey (PA) had previously mentioned they were not going to seek reelection; now Senator Rob Portman (OH) makes the same announcement:

OHIO – On Monday, Sen. Rob Portman and his wife, Jane, walked into a room resplendent with ornate art deco murals and fixtures in the Hilton Netherland Plaza in downtown Cincinnati.

Portman briefly reminisced with reporters about ice skating in that very room as a child. Then, the Republican from Terrace Park took the stage and announced an end to his three decades in politics.

Portman, 65, won’t seek re-election next year but will serve out his term that ends on Jan. 3, 2023. (read more)

Things amid the DeceptiCon caucus are getting interesting.  With four GOP senators having announced they’re not running (Burr, Johnson, Toomey, Portman) there’s essentially zero chance of the GOP retaking control of the Senate in 2022.  [20 R seats up & only 14 D seats that are in solid D strongholds] it is far more likely the Democrats will gain seats, so keep this in mind…. 

…When we think about forming a third party, the “you will split the vote” crew always peddles their vote split narrative.  However, the GOP doesn’t have a chance in hell to win 2022 given what the base of the Republicans think about these senate DeceptiCons now.

There has never been a better time for a New Party to launch and capture three or four seats from the retiring GOPe crew.  It would be great to see true MAGA representatives that can caucus with Republicans but hold ground on America First principles.

And someone needs to primary Lisa Murkowski again.

The far-left lawfare group known as “Citizens for Responsible Ethics in Washington” (CREW); a ridiculous misnomer if there ever was one; had a big loss today as the Supreme Court dismissed their ridiculous lawsuit against President Trump and the Trump International Hotel.  The C.R.E.W. leader and advocate for all things ridiculous, Richard Painter, has a sad.

[Washington DC] The Supreme Court dismissed lawsuits against former President Trump on Monday that claimed he violated the Constitution by accepting gifts from foreign officials.

The legal battles concerned the Emoluments Clause, which bans government officials from receiving gifts or profit while in office.

The lawsuits claimed Mr. Trump‘s commercial businesses received profits from foreign officials during his time as president in violation of the law.

The justices, though, remanded the cases back to the lower courts on Monday with instructions to dismiss the legal battles as moot. The move came just days after Mr. Trump formally left office and is no longer a government official. (read more)

…”Just sayin’!”

Biden promised us a ‘dark winter’ if elected, and he’s delivering. We patriots who voted for Trump are left out in the cold as China Joe’s regime labels us ‘domestic terrorists.’ Biden immediately issued executive orders to dismantle many of Trump’s accomplishments. Biden wants America to be masked, injected, distanced, impoverished, and rendered quiescent.

Of course, Sleepy Joe’s election was a complete and obvious fraud. Trump won in a landslide but the Democrats, aided by their mega-billionaire globalist allies, arranged for mass cheating that allowed Biden to claim victory. Such election rigging will now become permanent. The Democrats will vote to make the District of Columbia a state, thus giving them two more senators. Maybe they’ll make Puerto Rico a state as well. More senators. They will allow illegal aliens to vote. Maybe they’ll vote away the Electoral College. They want voting to be easily abused and manipulated—by them.

They will continue to limit our free speech. They’ll come after our guns by means of staging false flags. They want to impeach a president who is no longer in office to make sure he never comes back. The socialists are kicking us while we’re down and their corporate media cheerleaders love it.

FOLLOW US ON GAB SAME ID @GRRRGRAPHICS

The Tree of Liberty is dead. Nothing was done to stop the steal. COVID-19 was set up to help them steal the election more easily. Now the Democrat Socialists are nailing down their advantage. Once a country goes socialist, they won’t allow their subjects to return to a constitutional republic. There’s no going back except through violence and the socialists in charge have a monopoly on that. The military will save us? If they could, they would have already. It’s game over for now.

Now is the winter of our discontent.

COMMENT:  I find it interesting how the two worse-run states in the country are the ones who lead Congress. This does not give me confidence in the future.

EH

REPLY: You have a point. They are the two states California and New York with the highest number of people fleeing, yet their representatives are in charge of the country. Point well taken! Now you have AOC telling CNN she does not even feel safe with Republican politicians in Congress and she too is from New York. They seem to hate individuality and think they have to tear everything down that made America the land of opportunity in order to pander for votes – BUILD BACK BETTER. Do other states simply do as commanded by New York and California?

The Democrats appear to be deliberately trying to divide the country to undermine their opposition. They seem to want violence to emerge so they can justify their Domestic Terrorist Act just as the French did during their revolution and Reign of Terror. There is a wealth of evidence that shows there were pipe bombs and all sorts of things placed at the Capitol building there before Trump ever gave his speech. They were not used but may have been a plant to further justify the launch of the Domestic Terrorist Act just as the government knew 911 would take place and allowed it to gain power. In fact, they had even breached the Capitol building before Trump finished speaking. The Democrats acknowledge that there is evidence that this was probably pre-planned. Nevertheless, they intend to put Trump on trial anyway while some of the people charged were not even Trump followers.

In a court of law, this flies in the face of the First Amendment as the Supreme Court has held in Brandenburg v. Ohio, 395 U.S. 444 (1969). It was squarely held that a KKK member could not be charged with incitement without an express order to commit violence. So there is no way Trump would be guilty of incitement qualifying for a high crime or misdemeanor. This seems to be a ploy for more power once again and may simply be using Trump rather than a superficial revenge scheme.

So what the hell is going on? They have been warned that this will not unite the country but further divide it. Has the thirst for power simply exceeded the unifying of the country? This seems to be the real objective so they can go after all those who oppose their agenda, PRECISELY using the very same tactics of censorship that were used during the French Reign of Terror. The danger of going forward with such a trial to remove a president who is no longer president is not merely absurd and sources say that even Democrats in the Senate question a trial. There seems to be simply a motive for another power grab to justify the Domestic Terrorist Act.

U.S. Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) presents himself as a patriot; however, he his also a tenuously positioned politician who attended the 2016 Sea Island summit to stop Trump. As an outcome, all Cotton positions, regardless of current issue-specific merit, should be reviewed carefully for self-serving benefit.

In this interview Senator Cotton discusses how China has recently targeted specific individuals within the former Trump administration for sanctions.  Cotton walks through a few examples of how the financial and economic targeting has real life consequences.

Democrat mega-donor and Amazon founder, Jeff Bezos, a man who previously took pictures of his penis to send to his mistress, is now claiming that mail-in ballots could be manipulated during a unionization vote in Alabama.

Ironically, and in accordance with the customary hypocrisy from the far-left, Bezos is the same person who advocated for mail-in ballots in the 2020 election.

(Via Wall Street Journal) – Amazon Inc. is seeking to postpone a unionization vote at a warehouse in Alabama and is asking federal labor authorities to reconsider a decision to allow mail-in voting due to the pandemic.

The company Thursday filed an appeal to a decision by the National Labor Relations Board, which is allowing a mail-in process due to Covid-19 risks instead of the in-person elections that are typical in such unionization votes.

The ballots are set to be mailed to about 6,000 workers associated with its Bessemer, Ala. facility on Feb. 8. In its petition, Amazon said the board’s decision was flawed in part because it had not adequately defined an outbreak, among other objections.

[…] Amazon declined to comment on its appeal but has said it believes the best approach to an election would be conducting it in person, saying it “provided the NLRB with a safe, confidential and convenient proposal for associates to vote on-site, which is in the best interest of all parties—associate convenience, vote fidelity and timeliness of vote count.”

Amazon’s appeal is one of a number of steps the company is taking to challenge the election. (read more)

Typical situational hypocrisy…

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) appeared on This Week with George Stephanopoulos to debate the issue of 2020 election fraud.   In this combative interview, Senator Paul stands his ground against a highly-charged partisan media attack by Stephanopoulos.

Senator Paul wants an open and public review of the issues within the 2020 election.  George Stephanopoulos is claiming any inquiry into the election is baseless, and anyone who would make inquiries is a liar.  It goes downhill from there…  WATCH:

This interview is a great example of the election fear carried by leftists.  Despite evidence of severe issues within the 2020 outcome, the legitimacy of the election is the priority of democrats to protect.  Anyone who points out the valid election questions is a threat that must be isolated, ridiculed, marginalized and silenced.
