Battered Conservative No More

The headline here is a twist on a great book about how to not be a participant in your abuse called “Codependent No More“.  The message directly relates to something CTH discusses frequently in both articles and in the comments section.

In order to stop being abused, you must first stop making excuses for your abuser.  Accept things as they are, not as you interpret them to be.  This tweet by Robert Barnes is a great example:

At first blush Barnes is saying something we can all agree with.  Yes, Liz Cheney is toxic to the base of support within the republican party; and yes, the GOP putting Cheney into a very visible position of leadership tells us something.  However, the visiblity of Liz Cheney is not because the GOPe are stupidly disconnected from their base, Liz Cheney is purposefully visible because the GOPe wants her there.  She is a feature not a flaw or mistake; and the GOP totally gets it.

The Republican party believes the conservative voter base of the party is the problem, not the leadership.  Please accept that as an empirical fact or we will continue to have discussions that are misinterpretations of motive.  From the mindset of the institutional Republican party YOU are the problem, not Liz Cheney.

When you finally accept that the RNC wing of the UniParty hates you, literally hates their base of voters, only then can you begin to break the cycle known as “Battered Conservative Syndrome.”

However, to break this toxic mindset we must stand firm against the abuser.  THEY are the problem, not you.  THEY work for you, not vice-versa.

The GOP leadership is supposed to represent your priorities, not carry out their priorities while managing your angst.

We The People are being abused by them.

Everything they are doing – they are doing because what they are doing is exactly what they want to do.

The institutional republican leadership are not making mistakes.  Accept who they are.

Battered Conservative No More!

If you are a regular reader of this site you are generally a person who engages in intellectual discussion on daily events and more than likely a root cause thinker. Meaning you are able to grasp events at their cause and not at their consequence.

However, for some reason, many of those who understand big picture dynamics are still comfortable sticking their heads in the sand about “motive”.  Many people are still clinging to actual beliefs around a principle of ‘rule of law’ that applies to National Leadership.

You’d better change that thinking quickly – or you’ll be asking ‘what happened’ far too late.

There seems to be a willful blindness on the part of the American people, a chosen refusal to acknowledge the implications of the unAmerican and unConstititional behaviors, actions and outcomes we are being served on a daily basis.

It can no longer be presumed to be a matter of “I can’t see what’s happening” because a whole lot of normal Americans really are clean and articulate.

I can’t see it” just doesn’t cut it anymore.

Piers Morgan Departs ITV Good Morning Britain, Following Criticism of Meghan Markle


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 9, 2021 | Sundance | 281 Comments

British pundit Piers Morgan has always been skeptical of Meghan Markle based on his identified history of divisive relationships that seemed to circle her orbit.  The latest hit against the British crown by Ms. Markle and her simp Prince Harry has created division amid the British that is exactly the history Piers Morgan has previously described.

This morning the issues surrounding Ms. Markle’s purposeful attack against the crown were hotly debated amid the show Good Morning Britain; and now it appears ITV News and Piers Morgan have parted ways.  “Following the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s landmark interview with Oprah Winfrey, today’s Good Morning Britain shared the reaction to the revelations, including those about Meghan’s suicidal thoughts and allegations of racism within the Royal family.”

Considering the Oprah angle; and considering Oprah is one of the primary conduits, advance agents and protectors of all things related to President Obama; it would not be surprising to discover that Obama’s team of Chicago provocateurs are in the close-background of the Markle network.  Useful division based on advancement of racist accusations is a classic Maoist approach to achieve modern Marxist outcomes.

The 2009 Christmas Tree ornament of Mao in the Obama White House is a small reference point with larger implications.

The international media are leftists by indoctrinated disposition, it is in their DNA to advance the ideology of far-left causes.  Division is a downstream consequence from the allied media supporting any cause cèlébre in alignment with the progressive left.  Piers Morgan has been on the cusp of the cancel culture for several years as he eventually supported the Brexit outcome and pushed-back against the extreme elements of his own tribe of leftists.

Twitter Sues Texas AG Ken Paxton for Investigating Their Censorship Practices – Watch This One Closely It Appears Twitter is Leveraging Their Alliance With FBI


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 9, 2021 | Sundance | 158 Comments

CTH spidey senses are on maximum alert on the background to this story.

On its face Twitter is suing Texas AG Ken Paxton for targeting them with inquiries into their practice of censorship and deplatforming.  The lawsuit baseline is essentially (and ironically) because Paxton is a government official, Twitter is claiming their ‘first amendment’ right to control speech on their private platform is under attack.

However, you might ask yourself why Twitter chose Paxton and not Florida Governor DeSantis or any other government official who is doing essentially the same thing as AG Paxton with their efforts against Big Tech.  This is where suspicious cat comes into play because there’s always another angle with these tech leftists…. you just need to know how to spot it.

Ken Paxton is under investigation by the FBI for an unrelated securities fraud case, and there has been a long-standing court battle underway.  If you have watched the ideological merge, the alliance of common interests between Big Tech leftists and DOJ/FBI leftists, you might consider the appearance of a convenient leverage situation here that would explain why Twitter selected Paxton.  [Insert Suspicious Cat Here]

ASSOCIATED PRESS – Twitter has filed a lawsuit against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, claiming the Republican used his office to retaliate against it for banning the account of former President Donald Trump following the riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Days after the deadly January insurrection, Paxton announced an investigation into Twitter and four other major technology companies for what he called “the seemingly coordinated de-platforming of the President.” The attorney general’s office demanded that the companies produce a variety of records related to their content moderation policies and troves of internal communications.

Twitter responded Monday with a federal lawsuit alleging Paxton is seeking to punish it for taking Trump’s account offline — a decision the social media company says is protected free speech. It asks a judge to declare the decision to be under the ambit of the First Amendment and to, in essence, halt Paxton’s investigation.

“Paxton made clear that he will use the full weight of his office, including his expansive investigatory powers, to retaliate against Twitter for having made editorial decisions with which he disagrees,” lawyers for the company wrote in the suit filed in a Northern California court.

Spokespersons for Paxton’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday evening.

Twitter’s counterpunch comes as states, in addition to federal lawmakers and governments outside the U.S., are cracking down on tech companies they see as having amassed too much power in the past decade. This includes antitrust and anti-monopoly regulation, internet privacy laws as well as attempts to regulate how platforms like Twitter, Facebook and others moderate their sites. (read more)

Burn Your Masks


Re-Posted from GrrrGraphics on MAR 9, 2021 AT 10:02 AM

Burning Masks Bad, Burning Books Good!

I sometimes listen to CNN in the background while I’m working during the day. I tune in to hear what the socialist Democrats’ latest talking points are, but usually my disgust makes me quickly change the channel.

I happen to catch a segment on CNN concerning a big rally held in Idaho. Many citizens and their children there were tossing their slave masks into a flaming barrel.

One of the females on the broadcast—either the anchor or the guest—remarked that the burning reminded her of something that would happen in Nazi Germany. This made me laugh out loud, because the left is behind the modern book burning and ‘cancel culture.’ The Bolsheviks want American culture destroyed to make it easier for people to worship big government without distraction. They are using the virus to drum up fear, which keeps people submissive and willing to do any ridiculous thing to make the fear go away. It irks them to see citizens waking up to their scam. Therefore, they hurl names at them such as ’neanderthal,’ and ’Nazi!’

It was good to see people finally pushing back against the masks of compliance. (Let’s hope they don’t comply with mandatory vaccinations either). The masks are useless as proven by science, but the ruling caste still wants everyone continuing to wear them as a sign of submission–even after receiving several doses of dangerous, experimental vaccines.

More people need to speak up and stand up against the medical tyranny that is mask wearing. Burn ‘em if you got ‘em!

Ebay Joins Cancel Culture


Armstrong Economics Blog/Tyranny Re-Posted Mar 9, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

I find this truly just amazing. Dr. Seuss is obviously far more dangerous than Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” or any of the works of Karl Marx who was responsible for the deaths of over 200 million people with his Socialist/Communist revolutions.

Indeed, I have a very extensive library. It did not include the books of Dr. Seuss, but now that they are so political, I will have to get copies for my library.  But I do have everything from Adam Smith to Karl Marx, Adolf Hitler, and Lenin. It is important to understand the thinking process. It does not mean that by simply reading Marx I fall under some spell and act like a robot.

I have mentioned several times how they named Philadelphia because in Greek it meant “brotherly love,” which they viewed in a Christian sense. The proper context meant incest or the literal meaning of brotherly love.

Context is everything. They tear down statutes like the one in New York simply because it showed an African and an American Indian. Suddenly, it was racist when it was only symbolic of two continents.

What is next? Do we burn all history books because of Hitler’s extermination of different people? So we are to eradicate the history of such events because they offend someone somewhere?

Discrimination is now perfectly acceptable as long as against someone’s thoughts and what they write – just not their race or gender.

DeceptiCon Senator John Barrasso Vows to Back Lisa Murkowski

Following in the footsteps of Mitch McConnell, Decepticon Senator John Barrasso vows to support DeceptiCon Senator Lisa Murkowski (U-DC, via Alaska) if she seeks re-election.

Murkowski voted to impeach President Trump and Trump has vowed to campaign against Murkowski in the 2022 GOP primary.

WASHINGTON DC – Sen. John Barrasso said Sunday he’d back Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski for reelection, breaking with former President Donald Trump not long after he vowed to campaign against her.

“I want to always make sure we nominate somebody who can win in November,” Barrasso, the No. 3 Senate Republican, said on NBC’s “Meet The Press” of the 2022 midterm elections. “Lisa Murkowski knows Alaska better than anybody, and she’s an incredible fighter for American energy.” The Wyoming Republican cautioned that Murkowski — who has held her seat since 2002 — has not officially declared she would seek another term, but “if she does, I’m going to support her.”

[…] Murkowski is one of seven Republicans who voted to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial but is the only one of that cohort to face reelection next year. […] Murkowski, who succeeded her father, Frank Murkowski, in the Senate, has also proved a difficult person for Republicans to unseat. She managed to win as a write-in candidate after losing a GOP primary in 2010, and Alaska has since switched to a ranked-choice voting system that will pit candidates of all parties against one another in an open primary, with the top four vote-getters advancing to the general election.

Barrasso also said he stood by Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney (read more)

FOIA Release Showcases FBI Small Group Coordinating With Media To Push Russia Narrative in 2017 Exactly as Suspected


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 8, 2021 | Sundance | 88 Comments

HatTip FOIA FAN who continues digging on the Sypgate operation, to keep the historic record accurate.

This latest affirmation of 2017 coordinated activity with media comes amid new text releases from internal conversations of the FBI small group.  Peter Ztrzok, Lisa Page, Mike Kortan (PIO), Jennifer Boone, Andrew McCabe and others.  Essentially it confirms what we previously outlined on January 10, 2017, immediately after CNN broadcast their false narrative about Trump Russia collusion.  (source):

Jim Sciutto, Evan Perez and Carl Bernstein were coordinating the attack against Trump through Jake Tapper’s show on CNN.  The FBI small group were well aware of what the CNN crew were planning.  FBI Spokesperson Mike Kortan was coordinating the narrative on behalf of the FBI team.  The FBI knew the underlying premise was entirely false and likely so too did the CNN crew as we outlined in “The Anatomy of a Political Smear.”

I’m not going to waste time going over the issues again.  {Go Deep Here – Go Deep Here}  At this point highlighting the accuracy of the past holds no value.  Suffice to say the larger American electorate, ‘We The People’, just need to train ourselves how to spot this stuff when it happens.  As long as people continue to believe in the U.S. media apparatus, it will be more difficult to break the cycle of abuse.

Our nation deserves better.  We deserve better.

The Big Ugly Continues, Another DeceptiCon Taps Out – Senator Roy Blunt Will Not Seek Re-election, Further Evidence Mitch McConnell Will Exit Soon


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 8, 2021 | Sundance | 251 Comments

The reality of the group known as the “Senate DeceptiCons” {Go Deep 2014} all now exiting, showcases their internal knowledge about how much the electorate is awake to their decades long schemes and machinations.  These continued announcements are also predictive that Mitch McConnell is soon to leave the upper chamber.

Hold on to your political hat’s folks, this is going to get bigger and uglier as the power of the MAGA community and President Trump start to influence change.

The number of republican senators not running for reelection just gained another name today. Senators Richard Burr (NC), Ron Johnson (WI), Pat Toomey (PA), Rob Portman (OH), and Richard Shelby all previously stated they were not going to seek reelection; now Senator Roy Blunt makes the same announcement.

They know the American electorate can see both wings of the UniParty vulture now.

WASHINGTON DC – Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri announced on Monday that he will not run for reelection in 2022, a surprise decision from the No. 4 GOP leader that comes amid a slew of retirements from top Senate Republicans.

Blunt, who was first elected to the Senate in 2010 and previously served for 14 years in the House, is the fifth Republican this cycle to announce his retirement.His decision is certain to set off a messy GOP primary in a state where former President Donald Trump remains popular.

“After 14 general election victories — three to county office, seven to the United States House of Representatives, and four statewide elections — I won’t be a candidate for reelection to the United States Senate next year,” Blunt said in a video message announcing his retirement. (read more)

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…. UNLESS President Trump leads the MAGA coalition to victory with new faces.

Current Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has a leadership group who carry out the institutional objectives of the upper chamber as a body, they include: Senator John Thune (whip); Senator John Barrasso (conference chair); Roy Blunt (committee chair); Todd Young (NRSC chair); Jodi Ernst (conference vice-chair); and Chuck Grassley (president pro tempore). None of these senators make a move publicly without approval from Leader McConnell.

Things amid the DeceptiCon caucus are getting very interesting.

The Shameful Seven are almost all GONE!

[…] Idaho Republican Sen. Mike Crapo has said he intends to run in 2022, but had not officially announced his candidacy. (LINK)

Another downstream note…. a dot that few will pay attention to… a subtle variable for those traveling the deep weeds…. this announcement portends the DecptiCon caucus knows the Senate Filibuster is about to be eliminated.

Cuomo Le Pew


Re-Posted from GrrrGraphics.com MAR 7, 2021 AT 10:44 PM

What’s That Smell?

Five women have now come forward accusing New York Governor Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment. It’s getting harder and harder for the Fake News Media to ignore Cuomo’s growing scandal.  The media ignored Cuomo’s nursing home deaths but could be willing to cover the sexual harassment story in order to distract from the 15,000 plus nursing home deaths the “Grim Groper” has caused.

Both the New York Senate Majority leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and the State Assembly Speaker  Carl Heastie, have called on Governor Cuomo to resign.  Of course Cuomo is calling the calls for him to resign “anti-democratic.”

Democrats finally called for Cuomo to resign after five women came forward to accuse the “Grabbin’ Gov” of sexual abuse. Where were they when he sentenced tens of thousands of elderly nursing home residents to death?

“Pepe Le Pew” is just a romantic skunk in search of love, a funny cartoon skunk.

“Cuomo Le Pew” is a 63 year old narcissistic man who has a history of harassing women. His stench of abuse and disrespect of women has corrupted his whole office and he is unfit to serve as Governor.

Will the Grim Groper resign?  How many women claiming sexual harassment will it take?  What ever happens, there is no way Cuomo will be elected to a fourth term as New York Governor.

Sweden Attacking the Cancel Culture?


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

We seriously need laws to protect people from being canceled, harassed, threatened, or fired because they stand for freedom of speech and are opposed to COVID. These people carrying out their agenda to silence all opposition are effectively no different than the Communists of the 1917 Revolution days. They are desperate to keep the fear alive so people will comply with the surrendering of all their rights, liberties, and privileges. The abuse is taking place among academics and in the medical profession — so much for the oath to do no harm.

In Sweden, Professor Jonas Ludvigsson, announced that he would stop all further research on Covid-19 after a campaign of abuse and harassment following his study on the low threat that the virus poses to children and teachers. The country is ramping up protections for academics to combat such canceling campaigns.
