This effort to prevent Trump from running for President is presenting a major CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS. We have the extremely LEFTIST Supreme Court of Colorado ruling unconstitutionally that Trump should be barred from being on the ballot. Then we have the Michigan Supreme Court ruling against Colorado. Now, the State of Maine, another LEFTIST government, is also seeking to follow Colorado.
These Leftist Governments are planning to really destroy the Constitution in any way they possibly can. Not a single person on January 6th was criminally charged with the Insurrection Statute. Yet, these LEFTIST states are trying to use the 14th Amendment to block Trump from running when it has NEVER been used even once in history against any Southerner.
These states are fulfilling the warnings of Nikita Khrushchev (1894-1971). They are so anti-Constitution and are allowing this country to be flooded with people from South America who have traditionally been Marxists, which is why they have destroyed their own economies and are flooding into the United States for free food, clothing, healthcare, and to be taken care of for life as long as they vote for the Marxists here determined to destroy the US economy.
Our model warns of a recession from May 7th, 2024, into 2028. As Chairman Powell of the Federal Reserve warned, this spending by Biden is “unsustainable,” and there may not even be an election by 2028. Democracy is all about letting the people decide. States are rigging the ballots so that no challenger in the Democratic primary may appear on any ballot, leaving no choice for Democrats but Biden. Then, they are trying to prevent Trump from running at all. This is not Democracy – it is totalitarianism.
I fear we have reached the end of the rule of law. If the Supreme Court strikes down these Marxist States, they will only claim it was a Republican Decision. The very idea of a “UNITED” formation of states can no longer be justified. The nation has become so deeply divided; as Abraham Lincoln once said, a house divided cannot stand. This is what we face as we move into 2032. The Supreme Court instigated the Civil War with the Dread Scott decision when they tried to defuse the potential for the Civil War.
Emerson was Scott’s owner, and he allowed Scott to get married and left Scott and his wife in Wisconsin when Emerson traveled to Louisiana. Emerson died in 1843, and Scott attempted to purchase his freedom from Emerson’s widow, but she refused. Dread Scott argued that since he became a permanent resident in the federal territory of Wisconsin, which prohibited slavery, he became a freeman. The district court applied the laws of Missouri to find Scott was still a slave, and the Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed. It then went to the Supreme Court, in a hotly watched issue, then much as removing Trump from the ballots today. In a highly contentious opinion written by Chief Justice Taney, he held that persons of African descent were not citizens of the United States. The Court reasoned that, at the time of the ratification of the U.S. Constitution, persons of African descent were brought to the U.S. as property and, whether later freed or not, could not become U.S. citizens. With that decision, the Civil War became the solution. Abraham Lincoln was never on the ballots in 10 states: South Carolina, North Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Texas, Georgia, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Virginia. He did not receive any votes from the states that would later form the Confederacy besides Virginia, where Republicans secured 1% of the votes. History is repeating once again. Today, the Marxist-following states that do not believe in Equal Protection of the Law seek to remove Trump from their ballots as well to prevent him from becoming president, precisely as was done to Abraham Lincoln.
Regardless of how the Supreme Court rules, as in Dread Scott, one side will never support the outcome. It is questionable if the United States will ever be able to stand as one nation once again.

At the same time the Colorado Republican Party files a petition to the United States Supreme Court to overturn a disqualification ruling issued by the Colorado Supreme Court {link}, a challenge that will result in President Trump appearing on the Colorado ballot {link}, the Democrat Maine Secretary of State has ruled by fiat that Trump should be disqualified.
Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows issued a public statement [SEE HERE] declaring that under her independent determination, President Trump should be disqualified.
(Via Politico) – Maine on Thursday became the second state to declare former President Donald Trump ineligible to serve as president because of his involvement in an insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021.
Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows made the decision, booting Trump off the state’s ballot under an interpretation of the 14th Amendment that argues Trump cannot serve again because he supported or “engaged in insurrection or rebellion.”
[…] “I am mindful that no Secretary of State has ever deprived a presidential candidate of ballot access based on Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment,” Bellows wrote in her determination. “I am also mindful, however, that no presidential candidate has ever before engaged in insurrection.”
[…] In a statement, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung attacked Bellows as “a former ACLU attorney, a virulent leftist and a hyper-partisan Biden-supporting Democrat.” He called the push to have Trump disqualified “partisan election interference efforts,” and said the campaign “will quickly file a legal objection in state court to prevent this atrocious decision in Maine from taking effect.” (MORE)
It is a remarkable display of political hubris and hypocrisy to see the Lawfare leftists proclaim they are defending democracy by trying to destroy the foundational “right to vote” of the American electorate. Then again, the hubris and hypocrisy are a feature of communism, not a flaw therein.
The Maine decision by fiat will likely first travel through the judicial system in the state, as the determination of the Secretary of State holds no legal basis outside the authority granted to an individual office holder.
The need for control is a reaction to fear. If the totalitarian left thought they could win on substance and policy, they would not resort to these insufferable Lawfare tactics. Those who hold office by fiat need to be dispatched with extreme prejudice.

An interesting set of details amid a few reports on Ukraine, with one very interesting White House announcement under section 621 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (FAA).
First, as previously discussed within the year-end National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) there was a supplemental addition of $300 million more for Ukraine.
(VIA CBS) – The Biden administration Wednesday announced a $250 million military assistance package for Ukraine.
The aid package — the final of 2023 — will include arms and equipment, including air defense munitions, anti-armor munitions, ammunition for high mobility artillery rocket systems, and more than 15 million rounds of small arms ammunition, a State Department spokesperson said to CBS News.
“Our assistance has been critical to supporting our Ukrainian partners as they defend their country and their freedom against Russia’s aggression,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement, urging Congress to “swiftly” approve further aid to Ukraine. (read more)
Then, there’s something rather interesting….
Remember how we’ve talked about Ukraine being somewhat of a money laundering operation; and the entire series of events being akin to “world war Reddit” without any visible ‘boots on the ground’ war correspondent reporting; and the highly visible structure of the CIA running the operation from Foggy Bottom with the Dept of State controlling the outcomes… Remember all that?
Now, check out this little slush fund:
WHITE HOUSE – “By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 621 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (FAA), I hereby delegate to the Secretary of State the authority under section 614(a)(1) of the FAA to determine whether it is important to the security interests of the United States to furnish up to $20 million in assistance to Ukraine without regard to any provision of law within the purview of section 614(a)(1) of the FAA.” (link)
Who/what is that $20 million for?
Curiousor and curiousor….
POLITICO – “With U.S. and European aid to Ukraine now in serious jeopardy, the Biden administration and European officials are quietly shifting their focus from supporting Ukraine’s goal of total victory over Russia to improving its position in an eventual negotiation to end the war, according to a Biden administration official and a European diplomat based in Washington. Such a negotiation would likely mean giving up parts of Ukraine to Russia.
The White House and Pentagon publicly insist there is no official change in administration policy — that they still support Ukraine’s aim of forcing Russia’s military completely out of the country. But along with the Ukrainians themselves, U.S. and European officials are now discussing the redeployment of Kyiv’s forces away from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s mostly failed counteroffensive into a stronger defensive position against Russian forces in the east, according to the administration official and the European diplomat, and confirmed by a senior administration official.
This effort has also involved bolstering air defense systems and building fortifications, razor wire obstructions and anti-tank obstacles and ditches along Ukraine’s northern border with Belarus, these officials say. (MORE)
So, the official narrative has shifted from ‘winning‘ to ‘stalemate‘ to the more recent, ‘lose less’ and prepare for “giving up parts of Ukraine to Russia.”
Hmmm… What’s the DoS/CIA extra $20 million for, again?

Given the nature of U.S. led NATO efforts, this collaborative move by Russia and Belarus is as subtle as a brick through a window.
Joe Biden policy, actually the policy of the US State Dept/CIA, like the policy of Barack Obama before him (same institutions), is contingent upon the targeted nations participating in a great pretending that U.S. moves are not intentionally adversarial. Unfortunately, the era of pretend foreign policy pressure has ended, but the State Dept and CIA refuse to modify their playbook.
Russia, Iran, China, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, et al, are not pretending.
TALLINN, Estonia (AP) — The president of Belarus said Monday that Russia has completed its shipments of tactical nuclear weapons to his country, an initiative that raised strong concerns in neighboring Poland and elsewhere in the region.
President Alexander Lukashenko said at a meeting of a Moscow-led economic bloc in St. Petersburg that the shipments were completed in October, but he did not give details of how many weapons were sent or where they have been deployed.
Tactical nuclear weapons, which are intended for use on the battlefield, have a short range and a low yield compared with much more powerful nuclear warheads fitted to long-range missiles. Russia said it would maintain control over those it sends to Belarus.
Lukashenko has said that hosting Russian nuclear weapons in his country is meant to deter aggression by Poland, a NATO member. Poland is offering neighbor Ukraine military, humanitarian and political backing in its struggle against Russia’s invasion and is taking part in international sanctions on Russia and Belarus.

All of Eastern Europe is praying for President Donald J Trump.

QUESTION: Why do you think these four judges ruled so unconstitutionally when we are all taught in grade school justice for all and innocent until proven guilty? I think anyone can see this decision was political, pronouncing Trump guilty without any charge or trial.
SF
ANSWER: Noah Bookbinder, the lawyer who brought this case, was connected to Biden, and these judges knew who he was. He selected Colorado just as Special Prosecutor Jack Smith selected Washington, DC, to get the indictment on Trump for a charge in Florida. He selected Colorado because it has a 100% Democratic-appointed supreme court, and the state is so left it could never walk a straight line in a sobriety test. This is called FORUM SHOPPING, which is unethical.
Bookbinder cleverly brought the case under the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), where he is the President and CEO. His connection to the Biden Administration is very alarming. He sits on the Biden administration’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Advisory Council (HSAC).
When I was indicted, I self-surrendered in Trenton, New Jersey, when the indictment was filed in New York City to protect the banks. The accounts were in Philadelphia at Republic New York Securities – not New York City. They also engaged in forum shopping in NYC because the judges there will ALWAYS protect the bankers. Mary Jo White came from New York City to Trenton to intimidate the Judge that I should not be granted bail. My lawyer pointed out to the court:
“There has been no default on any instrument to date and most tellingly which demonstrates the lack of understanding that there is no crime here and no victim, there hasn’t been a default by the entities nor has there been a complaint by an investor.”
Yet, Mary Jo White, who was the head of NY prosecutors, came to put on a show that this was a major case and I was to be denied bail. The court was stunned by the lack of anything by the bank’s claim that $1 billion was missing, and they had no idea where it was. That is simply impossible since the only way to get that kind of money out of a bank is by wire. Mary Jo White’s presents did not win the day, and in New Jersey, they failed to put on any case that warranted the denial of bail. When the court granted the bail, Mary Jo White came up to me within inches of my face, drooling and showing her teeth like some dog snarling at me. The entire purpose of her appearance was to intimidate the judge, which failed. This is what Bookbinder did to intimidate 4 judges who knew the connection to Biden, and he wanted Trump removed from the ballot because they staged this entire January 6th event so they could use the 14th Amendment to prevent Trump from being elected.
My Lawyer to the court on 9/13/99:
My clients did as I said, filed against the bank, and they were forced to return the money and plead guilty.

Throughout the timeline of human endeavors, do you know what the greatest story is? It’s the comeback story. From the divinity of the resurrection to the great stories of human achievement; the greatest stories -the ones that inspire legend- always surround the comeback.
The story of defeat and yet a powerful return in resilience, determination and resolute battle to overcome, is always the story that inspires. To learn and return, bolder, stronger and with more power than before, is the story that brings out emotion – because we can all connect to it. The comeback is always stronger than the setback. {Direct Rumble Link} WATCH:
In this brief prelude segment, Tucker Carlson discusses the bigger picture of the Colorado Supreme Court decision to block Donald Trump from the 2024 republican presidential primary ballot. {Direct Rumble Link}
As accurately noted by Tucker, the terms used by professional leftists are always coordinated for a purpose. This seems glaringly obvious with the repeated use of the term “insurrection” as applied to the events on January 6, 2021. The hardline leftists are now moving to phase two, the actionable elements of the word use. WATCH:

I took some time before posting about this decision by the Colorado Supreme Court, which is an all-Democrat-appointed court, because what I had to analyze was from a legal viewpoint and not partisan in any way. What these four Colorado justices, with their names in white, have done is in fact nothing shy of a staged insurrection in itself against the US Constitution and the foundation of American liberty that defines the nation as a free society. All the justices on that bench are Democrats, and the three filed dissents (names in pink) illustrate that this should NEVER have been a case that even reached that court and should have been dismissed from the outset.
Democracy has been killed not just in Colorado but for the nation as a whole. The rule of law is the alternative to force, and when there is no rule of law left standing to settle disputes in a civilized manner, then the only alternative becomes violence. My deep concern is that this total destruction of the rule of law is the final nail in the coffin of every empire, nation, or city-state. To my shock and regret, they have fulfilled Socrates’s forecast.
The Colorado Supreme Court has abandoned the very foundation of the rule of law. To remove Trump from the ballot in Colorado demonstrates that the court itself is a political cesspool of corruption. To further that point, they issued this decision denying Due Process of Law in a criminal matter implied by the 14th Amendment to a trial by jury, violating the Sixth Amendment and the 14th Amendment’s Due Process Clause. They have declared Trump guilty without a trial by a jury. What happened to innocent until proven guilty?
The Colorado Dissents
JUSTICE SAMOUR, in his dissenting opinion, points out that this decision is outrageous. He quoted Chief Justice Chase of the Supreme Court, who laid the very foundation of what the Constitution was supposed to be all about.
Now itis undoubted that those provisionsof the constitution which deny to the legislaturepower to deprive any personof life, liberty, or property, without due process of law, orto pass a bill of attainder or an ex post facto, are inconsistent in their spirit and general purpose witha provisionwhich, at once without trial, deprives a whole class of persons of offices for cause, however grave. InreGriffin, 11F. Cas . 7 , 26 (C.C.D. Va. 1869) (No. 5,815) (” Griffin’s Case” ) .
In his dissenting opinion, CHIEF JUSTICE BOATRIGHT stated that the court exceeded its authority under the statute authorizing a review. He rightly points out that this local statute was not enacted to decide whether a candidate engaged in insurrection. In my view, this cause of action should have been dismissed. I fully agree that this decision violates so many provisions of the Constitution it is a disgrace to the rule of law. If I lived in Colorado, I would move forthwith, for you would have zero rights on anything based on this decision.
PER CURIAM decisions are not always unanimous and non-controversial – which this is certainly not. Here we have three judges dissenting, showing their names, while the other three hide in the shadows. The Bush v. Gore, 531 US 98 (2000) decision is one of the most well-known Supreme Court cases with a majority PER CURIAM opinion that also contained additional opinions. There Seven Justices of the Court agreed that there are constitutional problems with the recount ordered by the Florida Supreme Court that demand a remedy. See post, at 134 (SOUTER, J., dissenting); post, at 145-146 (BREYER, J., dissenting). The only disagreement was as to the remedy.
This bogus decision is stunning, for it was issued PER CURIAM, meaning it is hiding the four judges’ names from the public, showing that they knew this was a political decision – not the rule of law. The local statute they claimed gave them the right to strip Trump and the American public of the right to a free and fair election violated the foundation of legal interpretation – the assumption that when the legislature passes a statute, it does not intend to violate the Constitution (see also The Constitutional Avoidance Doctrine).
A PER CURIAM decision is a court opinion issued in the name of the Court rather than specific judges. PER CURIAM, decisions are given that label by the court giving the opinion, and these opinions tend to be short. The opinions will typically deal with issues the issuing court views as relatively non-controversial. This is certainly not the case with this decision, and it violates everyone’s right to vote in the United States. Removing Trump from one ballot is election interference and will undermine the entire national election.
These four Justices, Gabriel, Hart, Marques, and Hood, are no longer qualified to sit on that bench, and they should be removed immediately, and this is not being Partisan. Under this theory that Trump is not immune because he was acting as a “candidate” and not as president, then these four judges were acting as Democrats and not as a judge, then they too should be stripped of all immunity and criminally prosecuted. Those judges themselves have committed a felony and should be removed from office immediately! Trump is 51% ahead of all Republicans, and these judges are sentencing the United States to civil war for, as our computer has forecast – NOBODY will accept this election regardless of who wins.
Astonishingly, these four justices would PRESUME Trump is GUILTY without a trial. Not a single person was charged with the crime of insurrection on January 6th. I cannot express how unconstitutional this decision is, for they will be remembered for justifying civil war, just as the Dred Scott Decision held that blacks had no rights under the Constitution to avoid having to apply fundamental constitutional rights to slaves. The Colorado Republican Party has just announced its decision to withdraw as a party and transition to a pure caucus system, allowing them to independently select their nominee in light of this amazingly partisan ruling that defies everything that was to define America and the land of the free.
Trump is entitled to a trial by jury, and he MUST be found guilty FIRST of insurrection under 18 USC 2383, and then, AND ONLY THEN, would the 14th Amendment apply. Anyone pushing this argument is violating the constitutional rights of everyone in this country. Even the lawyers involved should be stripped of their licenses to practice law and put on trial under 18 USC 594. The mere fact that the Department of Justice does NOT criminally charge anyone pushing this argument demonstrates that the Democrats and the Biden administration sanction this.
Here in Florida, the Democratic Party has come under fire from some of Biden’s Democratic challengers who say they were unfairly shut out of getting on the March 19 presidential preference primary ballot. The Democrats wanted to remove any Democratic challenger from the ticket to prevent Biden from losing. This 2024 election is being rigged so desperately that we face serious civil unrest.
NEVER in my wildest imagination when I looked at the forecast of Socrates back in 1985 when this cycle began, did I fully appreciate the net results that 2016 would be the first time a possible third party could win, the 2020 election would be rigged, and the 2024 election would either never happen or would never be accepted. Then, in the 2028 election, it warned that there may never even be an election by that time. Putin never interfered with the 2016 election. Our computer had forecast that 3 out of four models projected a Trump victory.
Why do these people hate Trump so much? They are desperate to retain power, and Trump dares to fight back. They have moved to keep RFK off the ballot because he, too, is an outsider. Just look at the timeline of what they have done. Hillary created a fake dossier trying to link Trump to Putin, and John McCain, the godfather of neocons, handed it to James Comey. They got caught, and Comey claimed he never took notes when he interrogated Hillary – yet took notes just talking to Trump on the phone.
00:16
They impeached Trump Twice in a desperate effort to discredit him. Then they bussed in FBI staff dressed as Trump supporters to stage the Capital so they could use this 14th Amendment to prevent him from running. Others were ransacking the capital dressed covertly in black. Pelosi’s Son-in-Law was there too, taking his picture shown here – was he an Insurrectionist?
They then charged Trump in three proceedings, and the Special Prosecutor indicted Trump in Washington, DC, where he could indict a hard-boiled egg, calling it a Republican’s egg all for a case in Florida – absolutely unprecedented and illegal under the venue requirement of the Sixth Amendment. This Special Prosecutor, in jumping to the Supreme Court, has further denied Trump the right to appeal these rulings. If the Supreme Court accepts Smith’s argument that Trump has no immunity, it is time to turn out the lights on the future of the United States. Legally, they should rule 9:0 that Trump is immune. If not, civil war is inevitable.
I can confidently see what our computer is forecasting: there may never even be a 2028 presidential election. The United States will most likely head into a separatist movement by 2027. Like all empires that have gone before us, the United States will be buried in a common grave with all the other governments that turned tyrannical throughout history.
These people are so out of control, tearing apart the very foundation of civilization, that they will resort to assassination when all else fails. They will blame some Mexicans or claim it was suicide as always, and no Democrat would ever investigate. Everything they have done to Trump so they get to rule tyrannically is coming to a head. The United States will no longer represent the land of the free and the home of the brave. Civilization exists ONLY when everyone benefits. Even as Abraham Lincoln said, a house divided cannot stand. The LEFT is trying to take the United States fully into the utopia of Marxism. Over 200 million people died in those revolutions. What will it be this time – more than one billion?
We warned that the 2020 election was going to be tight. While Trump should have won since the margin was greater on the first two models in what was otherwise a dead-heat, that is not the case when we look ahead.
The Biden Administration has so damaged the Democratic Party between Neocons and Climate Change extremists, that there remains the risk that it will splinter for 2028 if there is even an election. All of this hatred against Trump is undermining the confidence in the government to such an extent the United States will no longer be able to remain as a single country.
