#7 Interesting how Barr finally decided to swing into action after Trump fired these other department heads.

#10 Dear Ebbomoger Speaking,

Re: “Interesting how Barr finally decided to swing into action after Trump fired these other department heads.”

Word on the street is that:

Barr wanted to greenlight federal prosecutors to take overt steps in election cases weeks ago, before the election. Political leadership in the Criminal Division pushed back, and thought they had won. Then Barr issued his memo Monday, blindsiding them.

This is not the USA’s first rodeo. It’s not the first time, either, that globalist elites encountered a tough fight from Americans, who they have never forgiven for exercising and protecting their G_d-given liberty against tyranny.

It may win the Benedict Arnold contest, though.

For a couple hundred years globalist elitists just haven’t known what to do with us. Never have, never will. The wind blows where it likes.

“I have not yet begun to fight.” — John Paul Jones (1779).

I expect we’ve long had a dedicated SCIF

pursuant to FISA warrant (no doubt)

& no leaks, anywhere.

We didn’t ignore Hunter’s laptop, did we?

The Quisling-Libs (note: not all Libs are quislings) should be terrified. Very terrified.

Both the Quisling-Libs and the globalist elitists misgauged the pulse of the PEOPLE. It’s a big mistake to overlook our rage and indomitable spirit. Unlike Japan, these arrogant fools have not just awakened a sleeping giant; they’ve woken a very wise Sleeping Monster — who is VERY ANGRY.

And, they’ll whine when there’s hell to pay.

#11 Reasonable-minded good people on the “Left” and the “Right” share the same common enemy:

dark elitist *would-be* platonic philosopher kings with voracious avarice in their cold hearts, and lacking in any basic human empathy or even shreds of decency.

#12 ^ there's a realignment in the making.

Dems are now the party of the oligarchs, left-wing proles, identity-politics grifters and their self-hating white dupes.

Trump's party appeals to millions of ordinary, apolitical, patriotic Americans including millions of blacks and Hispanics who want what most Americans have always wanted: ordered freedom and the chance to stand and compete fairly in their own two feet.

Not sure which is the majority but the old coalitions have been smashed.
