Garland Confirmed as Attorney General 70-30, Now Watch the Next Move


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 10, 2021 | Sundance | 374 Comments


Now we watch the next move(s); as with everything in Obama’s third-term, if you watch the ‘other hand’ you will find the play… and bookmark this.  With Garland confirmed there will be multiple people and groups who supported President Trump targeted by the U.S. Department of Justice. The extremist Lawfare group is openly advocating for more political targeting; to wit Garland has stated his intent to continue weaponizing the DOJ where former AG Eric Holder left-off.

…”Garland told the Senate Judiciary Committee last month that he will “supervise the prosecution of white supremacists and others who stormed the Capitol,” as he did as a federal prosecutor investigating the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.”…(LINK)

First, as to Garland: A perfect encapsulation of the Republican votes to confirm showcase a who’s who list of TWENTY DeceptiCons: Blunt, Burr, Capito, Cassidy, Collins, Cornyn, Ernst, Graham, Grassley, Inhofe, Johnson, Lankford, McConnell, Moran, Murkowski, Portman, Romney, Rounds, Thune and Tillis.  Please remember these names because CTH keeps getting asked who are Mitch McConnell’s DeceptiCon caucus members.  Once again, here they are.

We all know that Biden is an avatar for Obama’s third-term. Hence the plan by Team Obama and James Clyburn to secure the 2020 club nomination and then later insert Kamala Harris. As a result JoeBama’s first judicial move is a slightly stealthy one.

Judge Garland was an important judge on the important DC Circuit Court.  Garland’s replacement will be a senate confirmed seat for that court.

Once that replacement is senate confirmed, we anticipate (almost to a certainty) that replacement will be quickly elevated to a Supreme Court nomination to replace Justice Stephen Bryer, now 82-years-old.  The senate will have no political ammunition to block or not confirm the radical SCOTUS pick because she will have been confirmed a few months before. It’s a smart play.

Garland himself is too old (69) and too centrist for the interests of the JoeBama ideology; but watch for JoeBama-Biden to move activist DC District Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson (50), twenty years Garland’s junior, into the DC Circuit Appeals Court role.

Despite her known activist ideology, Judge Kentanji Brown-Jackson will likely achieve senate confirmation without issue for the circuit court role.  Soon thereafter Supreme Court Justice Stephen Bryer announces his departure, and Judge Brown-Jackson is quickly nominated as Bryer’s replacement.

Having passed senate confirmation recently, activist Judge Kentaji Brown Jackson  -a black female who checks all the boxes- is then positioned to avoid senate challenge and will move swiftly through the SCOTUS confirmation process.

It is a typically Obama-esque play.  As a stand alone nomination for SCOTUS she would be a radical pick; Justice Brown-Jackson is a known activist in the DC District Court; however, with this maneuver she could get through nomination easier and then sit on the highest court for thirty years.

Additionally, Obama’s former White House Homeland Security Advisor, Lisa Monaco, will be Deputy Attorney General supporting Garland.  Monaco then becomes the insurance policy to keep an eye-out for the ideological needs of the JoeBama administration, and assist with the smart political targeting that will come from the DOJ, FBI and the IRS.

Lisa Monaco, Second from right.

It is simply how they roll.

Once you see the strings on the marionettes you can never return to that time before when you did not see them.

Place your bets.

House Votes 220-211 to Approve Massive Government Expansion and Bailout Under Auspices of COVID Relief Bill


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 10, 2021 | Sundance | 276 Comments


The $1.9 trillion blue state bailout bill has passed the House of representatives.  No republicans supported the bill in the House or senate. Unfortunately, the outcome as as we anticipated after the 2020 election {Go Deep}: “The Blue Team state bailout comes atop a massive 2020 COVID federal spending package. As with the previous 2009 spending package, it will be gift-wrapped in paper to appear like Main Street is a COVID relief beneficiary… However, just like the 2009 ARRA, there will be no ‘shovel ready jobs‘ saved or created.  It is all a ruse for a transfer of taxpayer wealth.”

The political institutions of the U.S.A. which have protected our constitutional republic for generations are collapsing.  The fourth estate, last line of defense media, has been fully compromised by years of manipulative ideological alignment with the progressive left.

The courts are under assault and federalism is tenuously positioned.  The borders are open and unprotected.  Federal representatives are compromised within a DC system that is self-protecting; they have even erected physical walls, barbed wire and armed troops to protect themselves from We The People.   We are on the cusp of our very own Yellow Vest movement.  The effort to push-back against this overarching system of government control has to get loud and local, very local.

(Via Axios) […] The massive spending package was passed via budget reconciliation, a process that allows the Senate to approve legislation with a simple majority vote, rather than the usual 60-vote threshold.

  • Had Democrats not clinched control of the Senate by winning the two runoff elections in Georgia in January, the size of the package — if one existed at all — would have been far smaller.
  • The bill passed in the Senate last week 50-49 after a marathon of late-night amendments, which only began after Republicans forced the clerk to read the entire 628-page bill out loud — a process that took 11 hours.
  • The House vote fell almost exactly along party lines, with one Democrat — Rep. Jared Golden of Maine — voting against it.

Details: The bill approves $1,400 stimulus payments for individuals making up to $75,000 and couples making $150,000. It will also extend weekly $300 unemployment insurance until Sept. 6. Other highlights include:

  • An increased child tax credit in 2021 of $3,600 for children up to age 5 and up to $3,000 for ages 6–17.
  • $128.6 billion to help K-12 schools reopen.
  • $19 billion in emergency rental assistance.
  • $25 billion to help restaurants.
  • $46 billion for coronavirus testing and tracing.
  • $5.2 billion to support the research and development of vaccines.
  • $7.25 billion for Paycheck Protection Program loans.

What to watch: The White House says Biden will sign the bill on Friday (more)

We are watching deployment of an identical playbook used previously to bail-out Wall Street, Big Banks and political benefactors/beneficiaries in 2009.

  • COVID crisis 2020 replaces the housing/banking crisis 2008.
  • Pelosi repackages the TARP strategy as a COVID response.
  • States are bailed out in 2020 like the Too Big to Fail banks in 2008.
  • Union leadership benefit as they did in the 2008 operation.

…And the great reset begins.

Was CNN Pushing Cuomo to Make him President?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Mar 10, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

CNN and the leftist media were clearly promoting Governor Cuomo as being more presidential than Trump. While the left was mercilessly bashing Trump over COVID and how every death was all his fault as Biden said, TV journalists in particular at CNN were actually saying that Governor Andrew Cuomo was really the acting President of the country (see video of Newsbusters above).

The interesting aspect is just how overwhelming it has been to overthrow Trump right down to “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm” which won the best comedy film. I watched it and it was just political propaganda. Cohen even said he did it to influence people to vote against Trump. It was so outrageously biased and paid for by Amazon which then had the audacity to ban Dr. Seuss for hate speech. The entire Borat file was nothing by hate speech against Republicans.

Oh yes, it’s not “hate speech” as long as it is against people for what they think. They also banned Justice Thoms not because he was black, but because of what he thinks. So Boart is OK but a documentary of Justice Thomas is banned with Dr. Seuss? Did Borat make the Kazakhstanians appear backward and stupid? If Black Americans were portrayed that way the film would be banned. These standards seem to be just to ban whoever they disagree with. That is the real definition of “community guidelines” and “hate speech” when used today by BigTech and the media. It is simply speech that they hate. Would Cohen portray Jews as he did Kazakhstanians? Would that make him an antisemite in this new cancel culture?

Biden Grants Right to Vote for Criminals in Prison & on Probation


Armstrong Economics Blog/Regulation Re-Posted Mar 10, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Biden has granted the right to vote to criminals in prison or on probation. First of all, I believe it was unconstitutional to deny people the right to vote on the pretense of violating some law that is never fairly administered. Just look at New York. They never prosecute any banker because the bank pays huge fines they would never get from individuals. Justice is always about corruption in New York.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=LmJsnuvw7Z8%3Ffeature%3Doembed%26wmode%3Dopaque

The most interesting aspect of the delusional state of the Democrats is that they believed that by allowing criminals to vote they would vote for them. Interestingly, it has been the Democrats who have imprisoned people for the longest period of time in history. It was Bill Clinton who passed the sweeping Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, which provided funding for tens of thousands of community police officers and drug courts, banned certain assault weapons and mandated life sentences for criminals convicted of a violent felony after two or more prior convictions, including drug crimes. It was Joe Biden who pushed for longer sentences. Of course, perhaps Biden does not remember he was the one who orchestrated the higher sentences. So now, after imprisoning them for life dealing in marijuana only, he thinks letting them vote and they will cheer the Democrats.

The mandated life sentences were known as the “three-strikes” provision. The definition of a “violent” crime meant simply having a weapon, there was no requirement to use it. Then the definition was expanded to ammunition. I knew a Vietnam Vet who was imprisoned for a “violent crime” because he had an empty shell he wore on a necklace from Vietnam. The judge held he could fill the holes and reload it to make it usable. He was sentenced to 5 years for that.

Trump was very popular among those in prison for he was the first president to reduce time. The Democrats may be operating under false assumptions.

Watch This – Will President Marbles Make it To The End of This Year?


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 8, 2021 | Sundance | 296 Comments

Serious question: will Joe Biden make it to the end of the year before his worsening jibberish collapses his facade and the media initiate the shift to Kamala Harris?

Before answering, watch this video from today.  Biden cannot remember the name of the Pentagon, or the name of his Defense Secretary, Lloyd Austin.  Instead, he rambles through an incoherent mess of mumbled words as he attempts to exit the speech.

Eventually the media will have to stop pretending not to notice the dementia.

Biden Administration Returns to Obama Policy for Unaccompanied Alien Children – House At Military Bases, Release to Non Familial Custody


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 8, 2021 | Sundance | 89 Comments


The exploitation of children from Central America and Mexico reached a peak of crisis during the Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) influx in 2014/2015.  Many people might be familiar with the 2013/2014/2015 “Unaccompanied Alien Children” (UAC) crisis which stemmed from a specific President Obama policy/construct to allow a massive influx of Central American migrants to enter the U.S.

Additionally, despite most media reports to the contrary, a considerable number of those UAC’s were teen and young gang members from South America, including MS-13 members. The aliens were granted entry by the Obama administration, supported by false assertions of refugee status and shipped to various regional locales.

Following the 2016 election President Trump, DHS and HHS officials put stringent rules in place for unaccompanied children who arrived at the border.  One of the consistent concerns was: ‘who would these children be released to‘, as exploitation of vulnerable children including sex trafficking, child labor and human slavery was a problem.

The JoeBama administration is now returning to the prior policy of allowing non-familial custody of children who crossed the border.  Even going so far as to no longer require background checks on the sponsors claiming custody.  Suffice to say with the increase in sex-trafficking and exploitation, this is policy is alarming in the extreme.

According to Reuters JoeBama is now looking at housing children on military bases until they can be transferred into the custody of unknown and unverified entities who are claiming to take charge of the minor children.

WASHINGTON, March 5 (Reuters) – The U.S. government is evaluating a Virginia military base as a possible site to house unaccompanied migrant children amid a sharp rise in migrants arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border, according to a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) notice seen by Reuters.

A Pentagon spokesman confirmed that Fort Lee, a U.S. Army facility in Virginia, was under consideration.

The number of migrant children arriving at the southwest border has increased in recent months, putting pressure on HHS-run shelters that house the children before they are released to parents or other sponsors in the United States. (LINK)

The U.S. government facilitating the distribution of vulnerable children should be an issue that DC politicians take up quickly.  The previous changes to the custodial checks were announced late in February and also highlighted by Reuters:

(Reuters) […] The department on Wednesday sent out new guidance to shelter operators saying they could pay for transportation for unaccompanied minors, including flights, in cases where sponsors cannot pay. Previously, providers needed special approval for that step.

[…]  The Biden administration simultaneously proposed its own changes this week to several forms used related to custody requests by potential sponsors of unaccompanied children.  As part of the changes, which could go into effect after 60 days, HHS would no longer ask sponsors for their Social Security numbers on the forms. (read more)

When contemplating why Mexico does not do more in their efforts to stop the invasion of Central American migrants, it would be wise to remember the history of these issues.  The Mexican government are not likely to offer more than the appearance of token resistance and their history in this regard is very clear.

With the migrant march from Central America, mostly Hondurans, Guatemala and El Salvador it is important to revisit the history of Mexican threats -from Mexican officials- which preceded the current year influx.

♦ In August of 2017 President Trump and Commerce Secretary Ross were discussing their trade efforts within NAFTA and renegotiation with Mexico/Canada on a trilateral basis. However, the U.S. administration said if it doesn’t work, they’d scrap the 3-way NAFTA deal and go one-on-one with individual bilateral agreements. In response, Mexican Economic Minister Ildefonso Guajardo threatened to flood the U.S. with South American illegal aliens, criminals and gang members as leverage:

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Mexico could pull back on cooperation in migration and security matters if the United States walks away from talks to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, the Mexican economy minister said in a newspaper report published on Thursday.

“If they do not treat [us] well commercially, they should not expect us to treat them well by containing the migration that comes from other regions of the world and crosses Mexico,” Guajardo said. “Or they should not expect to be treated well in collaboration with security issues in the region.” (LINK)

However, Mexican Minister Ildefonso Guarjardo’s threat was mild compared to a threat in January 2017, when another Mexican official promised to flood the U.S. with South American drugs and gang violence:

♦ In a stunning segment on Fareed Zakaria’s CNN broadcast January 29th, 2017, Mexico’s former foreign minister, Jorge Castaneda, states the Mexican government was willing to counter U.S. President Donald Trump policy by unleashing drug cartels upon the U.S. border.

Watch, and more importantly LISTEN, to his words at 02:10 below (Prompted):

This was the most politically explosive admission by the Mexican government in the past decade. Even Fareed Zakaria realized what was being threatened and quickly attempted to redirect the conversation.

Mr. Castaneda was openly admitting a willingness to promote drug trafficking. Additionally, Jorge Castaneda is so proud of the threat, he posted a video of the discussion on his own YouTube page.

In June 2018, during the Mexican presidential election, leading candidate Lopez-Obrador previewed his perspective on Central American migration into the United States:

MEXICO – Mexican presidential candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) said Tuesday that migrants from all over the world who decide it’s “a necessity” have a “human right” to migrate to the United States.

“Soon, very soon, after the victory of our movement, we will defend migrants all over the American continent and the migrants of the world who, by necessity, must abandon their towns to find life in the United States,” Lopez Obrador said during a rally in the Mexican city of Culiacán, eluniversal.com reports.  “It’s a human right we will defend,” he added. (more)

President Trump was able to leverage the economic influence of the United States to change the attitudes and behaviors of the Mexican government.  However, the Biden administration is taking the exact opposite approach, and the corruption is so deep in Mexico their government is not able to withstand the pressure from the cartels which will benefit from the Biden approach.

This is Why Biden Does not Address the World


Armstrong Economics Blog/Economics Re-Posted Mar 8, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

https://youtube.com/watch?v=laQoenuDwwQ%3Ffeature%3Doembed%26wmode%3Dopaque

The vast majority of people who voted for Biden did so because they hated Trump. Well, it looks like they got what they deserved. The problem is, the rest of us got what we tried to avoid. This is total BS that every economist left – right – center agreed to this $1.9 trillion package and the so-called “unify the nation” Biden promised was just a campaign slogan. They rejected every amendment of the Republicans so there is no way everyone agreed on this. When Ronald Reagan was president, they were screaming because the National Debt hit $1 trillion. Biden is spending nearly twice the entire national debt accumulated from World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam.

We would NOT need such a stimulus package if the politicians did not lockdown the economy, destroyed businesses deliberately, killed people in nursing homes like Cuomo because he was too busy chasing his secretary around the desk, and world leaders were not kissing up to Schwab. NO GOVERNMENT in 6,000 years has EVER locked down its economy because of a virus. Just amazing.

Rosenstein Now Admits Recording Trump Was Discussed with Andrew McCabe


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 5, 2021 | Sundance | 34 Comments


The Washington Examiner notes an interview with Rod Rosenstein, and he now admits to having a conversation with Andrew McCabe where recording President Trump was discussed by Main Justice and the FBI group targeting the administration.

WASHINGTON – In his first TV interview since leaving the Trump administration in May 2019, Rosenstein told FOX 5 that there was talk of recording the 45th president for the inquiry but denied that he ever intended to wear a “wire” during the turbulent days that followed Trump firing FBI Director James Comey in 2017 before the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel.

“I had a conversation with Andrew McCabe about an investigation that he was conducting involving the president. And there was a discussion about whether or not the president would be recorded in the course of that investigation. I never intended to wear a wire, and I think that if Mr. McCabe asked me to wear a wire, we would’ve had to reconsider the whole thing. Because you can’t run an investigation and serve as a witness,” Rosenstein said in an episode of the Siege on Democracy podcast published last month.” (read more)

Those who followed the details closely, read the overlay of timelines, FOIA releases, congressional releases and testimony CTH provided, already know Rosenstein and Robert Mueller DID record President Trump in the Oval Office on May 16, 2017.  The evidence was within a series of disconnected memos, interview notes and the inspector general report.  The reason no-one reported on the evidence was because it was a series of events only evident if disconnected data was put together.
