Marc's Musings

Trump has pardoned about 1,500 people who were present during the incursion of the capitol on Jan. 6 2021, while proceeding cautiously on six potential commutations for the most serious offenders. Dissenters have taken to invoking Burdick v. United States where Supreme Court dicta holds that accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt.

If so, does the same hold true for the members of Joe Biden's family, various members of Congress including Adam Schiff and Liz Cheney, and former NIAID chief Anthony Fauci?

Headline: Joe Warns Against Oligarchy in Going-Away Speech

 

Would that be the same oligarchy that you used to suppress free speech during CoVID and to marginalize and persecute anyone who dared speak against the party line?

Would that be the same oligarchy that extorted tens of millions of Americans to receive unwanted and unproven experimental gene therapy to avoid losing their jobs?

The same oligarchy that benefited from closing millions of small businesses?

The same oligarchy whose fraudulent claims of 90% safe and effective were endorsed by your administration?

Is that the same oligarchy that spiked a story about your drug-addled son to avoid putting your office in a bad light?

If so, Joe, that's not just a worrisome oligarchy – that's straight-up fascism! (which you've told us consistently is a bad thing).

As if we needed another example of how the establishment news-like media outlets are nothing more than pawns of the federal government, not one of them is referring to the terrorist attack in New Orleans as a terrorist attack.

Perhaps doing so would remind people that we have a country-sized bureaucracy called The Department of Homeland Security that spends $60B a year, or that we have waged something called a War on Terror for 23 years at a cost of 21 trillion dollars, neither of which prevented this occurence. Not to mention things like a no-fly list, terrorist watch list, secret FISA courts, NSA monitoring of all internet traffic, and all of the other secret police activities that would make Stalin blush.

Perhaps calling it a terror attack might spur the people to hold the government accountable for its waste, fraud, abuse, and complete ineptitude.

You know society is doomed when boxes of chocolate no longer have maps telling you what each candy is.

According to the White House, thousands of people who live next to military bases and see planes, jets, and helicopters on a daily basis suddenly cannot recognize them.

If we cannot have a government that tells the truth, can we not, at the least, have a government that tells good lies?

Although Trump received 3M more votes in 2024 than 2020, there were 3.3M fewer votes cast in 2024.

They were not Trump supporters who put him back in the Oval, they were the 3M people who switched sides.

The FDA

“We collected and reviewed more than 1,000,000 pages of vaccine trial documentation in nine months”

… also the FDA

“It will take 75 years to make the documentation available to the public.

Remember when everyone was concerned about the deforestation of the Amazon and the impact it would have on oxygen levels?

What happened to that issue?

Do you suppose the silence is related to the fact that the Amazon is now being raided for balsa to construct wind turbine blades?

The talking heads still cannot accept that what happened was a referendum against globalist establishment orthodoxy and not a case of 72 million douche-tards being bamboozled by misinformation on social media.

It's funny that all of those people who spent three months telling us all of the reasons Harris was going to win are now experts on why she did not.

Looks like the Russians pulled off another upset!

Who knew they were so good at democracy?

I woke up this morning and thought "Oh, good. Harris is not president." followed by "Oh, God! Trump is president!"

The Colorado Supreme Court is currently hearing arguments that would have elephants regarded as legal persons under the law.

Just because they are elephants, do they have to vote Republican?

Goebbels and Orwell could not even imagine the propaganda campaigns of the U.S. Military.

But I was suppose it was an inevitability since Reagan effectively made the DoD a branch of the CIA in 1981.

"Special Operations Forces (SOF) are interested in technologies that can generate convincing online personas for use on social media platforms, social networking sites, and other online content. The solution should include facial & background imagery, facial & background video, and audio layers."

One day after the commander of US Naval Forces Central Command said that the U.S. cannot stop Houthi raids by force, Joe Biden - or someone using his robopen - dropped the ban on selling offensive weapons to Saudi Arabia.

If can't beat 'em, may as well turn a profit!

Vice Admiral George Wikoff ( I wonder what his vices are?), the commander of US Naval Forces Central Command had admitted that the U.S. Navy cannot stop the Houthi attacks on ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.

So, you are telling me that a military whose budget is more than the next eleven countries combined (including Russia, China, and all of Europe) cannot defeat a bunch of illiterate vandals using their reason for being – the use of force?

… and we think we're going to threaten China

Joe Biden said he was withdrawing from the presidential race to 'save democracy'.

I didn't realize Joe was such a big threat.

Thanks, Joe!
