Sounds great for all the people and will work fine after the CCP is gone. Xi is doing the same thing as Trump, Putin, and Modi. All are getting rid of their deep state. For Putin, it's mostly the oligarchs, Modi the same thing, some religions think it's fine to k**l others not like them. The same thing is now happening in the Muslim world, the Muslim Brotherhood has got to go along with the Ayatollahs. Keep watching because it's coming.

Putin recently blocked Turkey or Erdogan from messing with Azerbaijan and Armenia. Egypt and Sudan will find a solution to the Nile River dam soon if it doesn't collapse first. Israel has the same problem, their deep state has to go.

All the deep states work for the Central Bankers/NWO. That is what will save Europe from the EU. It will also replace the UN with more peace-loving nations and their new reps. And save Africa and S.America too.

That's the plan it just isn't expressed in those terms yet. That should make you very happy because it will save Canada too.

Many of the Muslims scattered around the world will want to go home soon. The Jews might do the same thing. With peace, all nations will prosper again. Look at Israel the rains have returned and it's beginning to blossom again. Soon the people will control the oil too. Iraq has plenty of oil, they just need law and order, and for Iran or the Ayatollahs to stay out of their business. Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan will not be too far behind.

The world needs all the instigators of war to cease and desist. That can only happen when the deep state, NWO, and Central Bankers are rooted out. That's why the Dems and our CIA have to go. They're trouble makers and their allegiance is to the NWO first.

Even if you don't see or know any Christians or Buddist in China they are there. And soon you'll be able to worship openly in China once the CCP is banished. N. Korea is already free. All the US and China saber-rattling is a ruse to expose the opposition. Even the people of Hong Kong will willingly reunite with China then, maybe even Taiwan.

Watch the earthquakes too. That means underground bases and tunnels are being destroyed and children are being saved. Evil is being defeated more and more each day. The more we defeat them the weaker they become. One day you may hear your daughter singing Jesus loves me, this I know, in China. Keep the faith, stay safe, and pay attention. The world is changing, before our eyes. A wonderful time to be alive around the world.

Peewee, you’ve made some good points in a thoughtful post. I pray that your analysis and conclusions are on the money. I need some of your enthusiasm these days! Right now, though, it doesn’t feel to me like a wonderful time to be alive, sorry to say.

It’s a most difficult time to, “Keep the faith,” although I know that we must, because, as you so aptly stated, “The world is changing, before our eyes.” May we always know peace, into the future! Thank you for your optimism.

There was a time when "made in the USA" meant something ?? When was that?? Ever try finding made in the USA???

What caused those made in the USA products to be nothing but junk?? Think the USA can make any real degree of success of technology given the dumb downing of our students!? We blew it!! I wish we could have it but doubtful at this point...

Ignorant attitude on trade, now thats a true statement.. We let other countries charge us Ridiculous amounts in trade while they paid little in return... Some set up there!!

Dumbing down our students certainly hasn’t helped to keep us on a forward path, but it was Nixon’s precedent-setting visit to China, recognizing their government, that opened the barrage of cheap knock-offs; until that door opened, USA products were plentiful and well-made, although definitely not cheap, as we paid decent wages.

There was a time when responsible people always had an item on our wish lists, for which we were saving. The first overseas household products were cheaper than those made here in the USA, but many were extremely flimsy, by comparison, whether of fabric, plastic, or metal. Since we didn’t need to delay as long for items on our wish lists, with the cheaper inventories found at K-mart, Zayre, Airway, and similar big box stores, our specialty shops in mid-sized cities and in no-stoplight towns took a hit, but managed to stay open: consumer choice was still possible.

The arrival of Walmart was the death knell of small businesses and consumer choices, but, hurting from inflation and a crippled economy, we didn’t realize what was hitting us until small and mid-sized specialty shops disappeared from our terrain, leaving empty shopping centers and even ghost towns.

By the time consumers realized that a clothing top that bred nubbies down the front before the first washing was a waste of money—so better to spend a little more, so go to the shops in town—we’d been bamboozled: the shops were gone! Most of yesterday’s big box stores are also history. With fewer and fewer shops to buy their products, US manufacturers held on as long as they could, first laying off, then—mortally wounded—they folded.

Generally, American-made products were made to last. Our ingenuity, perseverance, and sheer guts that allowed us to excel in virtually any endeavor that we have ever attempted was accompanied by a trust that others shared our good intentions for each other, our nation, and the world.

It was this innate American trust that has allowed us to be infiltrated and robbed—by foreign governments, money-bagged high rollers, and some of our own “trusted” government officials. The bullies, so far, have prevailed.

Yes, Senator Joe McCarthy, John Birch, and Phyllis Schlafly, among others, sounded extreme at times, but had we heeded their warnings, using the maxim, “All things in moderation,” we’d not have today’s worries. Who has watched the fox? My heart aches.

Pennsylvania House Speaker Calls for Full Audit of State E******n Before Certifying Results

As accusations of e******n misconduct fly in Pennsylvania, House Speaker Bryan Cutler is demanding that a full audit of the state’s e******ns process be conducted before the state certifies the results.

Democrat Joe Biden narrowly edged President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania — 3,357,404 v**es to 3,314,862 — but the Trump campaign is raising serious allegations about how the v**es were counted.

Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s lawyer, on Sunday said that the number of challenged b****ts is so high that it could flip the results.

Cutler also expressed concerns about the v**e, citing actions by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and Democratic Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar.

“The uncertainty surrounding these interventions has cast an unnecessary cloud on the e******n process,” he wrote in a letter Friday to Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf. “That invites our people to question the results, regardless of which candidate or party may prevail.”

The speaker said an audit is needed because there have been too many problems with the e******n.

“We must take every possible step to ensure that all Pennsylvanians and all Americans know that our Commonwealth has conducted the General E******n with integrity,” he said.

Cutler, a Republican, told Wolf that “I, along with many members of the House of Representatives and Senate, have raised serious concerns relating to the administration of the e******n, specifically because this was the first full year Pennsylvanians would be able to use no-excuse absentee mail-in b****ts.”

“Unfortunately, some of the concerns that were previously raised have manifested into issues which cannot be overlooked,” he wrote.

“First, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court unconstitutionally extended the deadline to receive late b****ts and openly ignored the findings of fact and law that were issued by the Commonwealth Court,” the speaker wrote. “That issue is now being litigated at the United States Supreme Court.”

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito last week ordered state officials to keep separate b****ts received at Pennsylvania e******ns offices after the polls closed.

Cutler also denounced actions by Boockvar that led to a court ruling saying that signature verification alone could not be used to reject mail-in b****ts.

“This, of course, is a significant departure from Pennsylvania law and practice, and it eliminated one of the most important security and anti-fraud features used with absentee and mail-in b****ts It also treats v**ers who v**e on E******n Day in person different from those that used the absentee b****t or mail-in program,” he wrote.

Cutler noted that E******n Day and its aftermath have shown that not all poll watchers were treated equally. The Trump campaign has complained that its observers were denied the ability to observe the b****t count.

The speaker also said that “an unprecedented 105,000 provisional b****ts have been issued. Under our statutes, provisional b****ts may only be issued if there is an issue with a v**er (e.g. a v**er’s name does not appear in the poll or supplemental poll book, a v**er was issued but did not successfully v**e an absentee or mail-in b****t). Clearly, the significant number provisional b****ts are indicative of v**er issues across the Commonwealth.”

Cutler said there was no reason for Pennsylvania to now be the center of attention for how it handled the e******n.


Cutler Letter by The Western Journal

“Governor, all these issues could have been avoided had your Secretary of State and the Pennsylvania Supreme Court simply followed the law as written,” he wrote.

“The uncertainty surrounding these interventions has cast an unnecessary cloud on a process — the e******n — that invites our people to question the results, regardless of which candidate or party may prevail,” the speaker said.

The term “vox populi” sounds like the sort of thing that would have been commonly evoked in the Roman Republic, but the earliest known reference to equating it with the voice of God (Vox populi, vox Dei)—in a disapproving way—is attributed to Saxon scholar and teacher Alcuin of York (735-804), then Master of the Palace School at Aachen. In a letter to the Emperor Charlemagne in 800, he wrote, “And those people should not be listened to who keep saying the voice of the people is the voice of God, since the r**tousness of the crowd is always close to insanity.”
Alcuin de York is quite right; but the reality is that somehow matters must be decided; and in the United States, in the Constitution that was adopted to govern the republic in 1787, that voice is recognized to citizens.
However, more than 230 years after this legal body was approved, measures having been implemented to do so, the voice of the people still cannot be heard unequivocally, as it is subject to certain regulations, which can adulterate it and make us hear something very different to what the people really want.
As is well known, the news media do not collect vox populi but the criteria of those who control them, they even conduct surveys to find out the reality; but they influence those surveys and try to adulterate them, succeeding very frequently.
I do not agree with establishing what has been called "politically correct", which is very similar to censorship, but some way must be found for the media to adjust “to inform"; and not “to interpret" the facts, according to a particular convenience. I think that the obligation to publish the fact itself should be legally established and set aside the interpretation it wants to be given to it, clearly establishing which is the fact and which is the interpretation, so that each person can draw their own conclusions and stick to them.
Another important issue is the way in which e******ns are carried out for positions at the federal level, for Congress and the Presidency. I think that in the same way that the postal service, social security and immigration service are at the federal level, the e*******l function for federal offices should be at the federal level and not at the state level; and I also believe that the existing parties must have proportional active participation in the development of this function. On the other hand, I agree with the existence of the e*******l college, since it is closely related to the rights of states with a minority population; but I think that the system in which the party that wins in a state, takes all the v**es that correspond to that state, is not correct. I think that the v**es should be distributed proportionally to the v**e obtained, because when the number of senators in the v**es corresponding to each state is taken into consideration, the right of the minority is being respected.
Thus, if California has 55 e*******l v**es and a party obtains 40% of the v**es cast, 22 e*******l v**es will correspond to it and the one that obtained 60% will receive 33. This reduces the difference that may exist between the popular v**e and that of the e*******l college.
A matter of vital importance is the recognition of those who have the right to v**e, since there is no reason for people who have died to appear v****g, since there is a death registry that should be connected to the e*******l census, automatically reducing the one who has died, thus preventing people from v****g who do not have the right to v**e or that more v**es appear than registered citizens with the right to v**e, as has happened in these e******ns.
The v**e is secret; but it is not a secret who has the right to v**e. I believe that it is more important to exercise the privilege of v****g than that for driving a car; and for the latter, the fingerprints are taken, the signature, a photo and an identification is issued, the same should be done to control the v**e. The signature can be a means of ratification, but fingerprint control is easier; and in addition, it would facilitate v****g by mail; the fingerprint can be printed, when the shipment is made and also notify the shipment of the v**e by postal mail using the telephone with the fingerprint, as well as the code of the control document that accompanies the b****t; of course, with the condition that in order to v**e by mail, a deadline must be established, let's say a week before the day of the e******n, that the v**es will be counted as received and that only those v**es received by mail, no later than within the first four hours of the day designated for the e******n and that they appear duly notified, serving this notification to claim the b****ts not received in time.
If the measures that I have previously exposed had been followed in the current e*******l process, we would not be facing the current situation of uncertainty and discord, since it would not be easy to manipulate the e******n in any way.
In these e******ns, not everything is said, since not only the p**********l e******n is at stake, but that of the representatives to the Congress of the states in question, who also appear on the e*******l b****ts that may or may not be considered; and I estimate that as in baseball, until the last out is given the game is not over.
I remember in 1956 the fifth game between the Dodgers and the Yankees, the perfect game that Don Larsen threw. It was exciting; and in the fifth inning it seemed that he would not make it, when Gil Hodges hit a line to left-center field that Mickey Mantle came to catch, keeping the duel immaculate. For the last out, on a 1-2 count, Larsen sent a fastball that struck out Dale Mitchel to finish his magic act, in which he required 97 pitches.
In the end it will be what God wants, and if he wants to humiliate this country, he will hand it over to his enemies. The t***h is that the enemies of the USA: the governments of China, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, etc.- they are celebrating with the possibility of Joe Biden being the new President; and knowing this, another comment is not necessary.
In the Bible we find Isaiah 66.6 the following: "A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that rendereth recompence to his enemies". Which is the closest thing to Vox Populi, Vox Dei. However, within the apocryphal books, Ecclesiastical 10: 2-5 reveals an irrefutable t***h, closely related to the Vox Populi: “Every people has the government it deserves. When the king is ignorant, the people end in ruin; when the king is wise, the people prosper".
In democracy we do not have a King, but what has been said is applicable to the President. However, it can be said that democracy, which is the rule of the majority; it depends on the cowardice or bravery, intelligence or stupidity of that majority; and that majority becomes a dangerous weapon when manipulated by unscrupulous people with intelligence for evil.
God willing, the enemies of this country will be mocked and there will be retribution for the damage caused; but the maxim must be followed: "To God asking and the with the mallet hitting". May God enlighten the President!

The Pittsburgh Post Gazette has always been a democrat paper. The PPG Editorial Board have taken an objective look at president Trump's record against his behavior and have endorsed Trump for POTUS.


The man and the record

“He’s unp**********l.”

“He’s crude and unkind.”

“He’s just not a good man.”

These things, and much worse, are commonly said of President Donald Trump. His personality totally eclipses his record.

So we, seemingly, have him on the dunk tank, ready for a very cold bath.

Let’s play dump the lout.

But is this really what it’s about?

Isn’t the real question whether he has been taking the country, and the economy of this region, in the right direction these last four years?

Can we separate the man from the record?

We share the embarrassment of millions of Americans who are disturbed by the president’s unp**********l manners and character — his rudeness and put-downs and bragging and bending of the t***h.

None of this can be justified. The president’s behavior often has diminished his presidency, and the presidency. Most Americans want a president who makes them proud.

We too prefer the first-class temperament and demeanor of a Winston Churchill, a Dwight Eisenhower, a Franklin Roosevelt, a Ronald Reagan, or a Barack Obama (whom this newspaper enthusiastically supported in 2008 and 2012). None of them are on the b****t this year.

Let’s look at the Trump record:

Under Donald Trump the economy, pre-C***D, boomed, like no time since the 1950s. Look at your 401(k) over the past three years.

Unemployment for B***k A******ns is lower than it has ever been, under any president of either party.

Under Mr. Trump, our trade relationships have vastly improved and our trade deals have been rewritten. Thanks to him, middle America is on the map again and the Appalachian and hourly worker has some hope.

Has Mr. Trump done enough for these struggling fellow citizens? No. But he recognized them. Maybe he was not articulate, but he recognized their pain.

No one ever asked the American people, or the people in “flyover,” country, if they wanted to send their jobs abroad — until Mr. Trump. He has moved the debate, in both parties, from free trade, totally unfettered, to managed, or fair, trade. He has put America first, just as he said he would.

He also kept his promise to appoint originalists to the Supreme Court of the United States. His third appointment, Amy Coney Barrett, is the best of all — a jurist whose mind and character and scholarship ARE first class. We hope she stands against both judicial and executive excess.

Finally, let’s talk about one of the most important concerns in this region — energy. Under Mr. Trump the United States achieved energy independence for the first time in the lifetimes of most of us. Where would Western Pennsylvania be without the Shell Petrochemical Complex (the “c*****r plant”)?

Donald Trump is not Churchill, to be sure, but he gets things done.

He is not a unifier. He often acts like the president of his base, not the whole country. He has done nothing to lessen our divisions and has, in fact, often deepened them. The convictions and intellect of all Americans should be respected by ALL Americans, especially the president.

Has Mr. Trump handled the p******c perfectly? No. But no one masters a p******c. And the president was and is right that we must not cower before the disease and we have to keep America open and working.

He has not listened well to people who could have helped him. He has not learned government, or shown interest in doing so.

But the Biden-Harris ticket offers us higher taxes and a nanny state that will bow to the bullies and the woke who would tear down history rather than learning from history and building up the country.

It offers an end to fracking and other Cuckoo California dreams that will cost the economy and the people who most need work right now. “Good-paying green jobs” are probably not jobs for Pittsburgh, or Cleveland, or Toledo, or Youngstown.

It offers softness on China, which Mr. Trump understands is our enemy.

Mr. Biden is too old for the job, and fragile. There is a very real chance he will not make it through the term. Mr. Trump is also too old but seemingly robust. But in Mike Pence, Mr. Trump has a vice president ready to take over, if need be. He is a safe pair of hands. Sen. Kamala Harris gives no evidence of being ready to be president.

This newspaper has not supported a Republican for president since 1972. But we believe Mr. Trump, for all his faults, is the better choice this year. We respect and understand those who feel otherwise. We wish that we could be more enthusiastic and we hope the president can become more dignified and statesmanlike. Each American must make up his or her own mind and do what he or she thinks is best for the community and the republic. V**e your conscience. And, wh**ever happens, believe in the country.

Thank you, Blade_Runner, for the endorsement. I believe that it’s one of the fairest summations that I’ve seen.

I wish they’d printed their announcement 2-3 weeks ago, when it might have influenced other print media to do likewise, as well as substantially upping the Trump v**es, but, at least, it’s now part of history.

Lol! Thanks to your links, 2bitap, I’ve spent around 3 hours watching those unforgettable e******n night videos grouped around these you’ve cited. My friend and I were up until daylight switching from channel to channel watching the meltdowns. It’s a shame that some of them aren’t among the now available videos.

One guy kept repeating about a “wetlash” having occurred, as though that peculiar term was the explanation for the upset. Lol! Pretty sure he meant “Whiplash”—too funny!

I also watched recent videos regarding the depth of the Deep State and the tentacles which China has used to grab hold of US education, science, electronics, scarce mineral mining, telecommunication, surveillance, and who-knows-what-else, thanks to the Bidens, specifically and chiefly, the silent strings pulled by Vice President Joe. What a travesty! Can’t believe that he used his own son to sell out the USA. Tragic for Our Great Nation, and tragic for H****r.

Again, 2bitap, I thank you for the links. 😃

Think about it for a minute. Just a new idea here. Virtually all government employees have been exempt from any lock down. Essential. Especially Government union employees.

So many other people have been allowed to work because of some Governor or Mayor's arbitrary determination that they are essential.

Meanwhile because of these dictates, people are losing their businesses, life time investments, jobs, apartments, homes, cars, medical insurance and who knows what else. Lets add in alcoholism during shut down, medical procedures delayed because half empty hospitals won't do them during the crisis, suicides, overdoses, and the list goes on.

So, how about a Government 'Share the Pain Tax Subsidy' on all workers allowed to work on, or businesses like Target, Walmart etc., allowed to go on while mini marts are closed.

The subsidy would be spread around those that really suffered, like bars and restaurants owners and their employees.

And wh**ever rate the Share the Pain Tax Subsidy is set for, (like 10%) the Politicians in all elective offices pay double. (20%).
