Sidney Powell and Defending the Republic — Lots of Good Stuff

Lying and More Lying

Dear Patriots,

It is important to know how we were lied to in order to resist and overcome the results they want. We can fight back and win if we know the truth.

1- This describes the media in Europe but the same sort of campaign happened in American media. The government bought off the Fourth Estate so that no government COVID-CCP pronouncement would be challenged.

Former News Exec. Reveals the Government ‘Warning’ Given to Networks to Air Covid Propaganda

QUOTE: The Covid pandemic response beginning in 2020 was one of the most sweeping cases of media propaganda in world history. Governments not only lied to the masses (“15 days to slow the spread,” e.g.) and made dubious claims based on poor evidence (“mask up” to end the pandemic), but it censored even civilians for doubting the mainstream narrative.

Now, a former news executive at international network Sky News, as well as a veteran of ITV, has come forward to reveal what news audiences have only previously been able to surmise: Some news networks must have been ordered to adhere to the government’s pandemic narratives or risk serious consequences (such as losing broadcasting licenses and other reprisals).

Mark Sharman revealed his disturbing insights into the astoundingly coordinated media coverage of the Covid pandemic in a sit-down interview on British channel GBN’s “The Lockdown Inquiry” with host Dan Wootton.

“I know this is quite a big deal for you to come out from behind the camera where you’ve been an executive in the industry for so long,” Wootton began. “But I know you want to do it because you have been so disturbed by the coverage of many of your former colleagues, the organizations that you to work for over the course of the pandemic. So can you just start by explaining this chilling warning that Ofcom gave near the start of the pandemic and how you think that may have impacted the coverage?”

“I, well, I definitely think it impacted, it’s not so much an Ofcom regulation,” Sharman said. “It was advice or a warning actually.’

“Like a little bulletin, wasn’t it?” Wootton said.

“Yeah,” Sharman said. “It was a warning to basically say, ‘do not question the official government line.’ Now to be fair to them, they said, you can have opposition voices on, but you must present as ‘must intervene’ if there’s any danger of harmful or misinformation.”

“So did that essentially turn presenters at the BBC, Sky News into, essentially, representatives of the government?” Wootton asked.

“I think it did,” Sharman answered.

2- Read this entire piece for the massive lies about our voting system we have been fed for years. There is abundant and irrefutable evidence that all voting machines are connected to the internet and easily hacked.KanekoaTheGreat on Substack110 Articles Affirm America’s Computerized Voting System Is Online, Compromised, and Vulnerable To Hackers: Documented, Linked, and Quoted

QUOTE: Dominion Voting Systems, the second-largest U.S. election machine vendor, which has given public presentations acknowledging their use of modems in their voting machines, was also discovered to be running remote-access software during the 2020 election:

In Georgia, 20-year election worker, Susan Voyles, testified that Dominion Voting Systems employees “operated remotely” on her ballot-marking devices and poll pads after the team experienced some technical problems with their machines.

In Wisconsin, the Office of Special Counsel (OSC), headed by retired state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman, also found that Dominion and ES&S voting machines were online and connected to the internet.

In Michigan, attorney and Secretary of State candidate, Matt Deperno, discovered a Telit LE910-SV1 modem chip embedded in the motherboard of an ES&S DS200 voting machine.

Through these modems, hackers could theoretically intercept results as they’re transmitted on election night — or, worse, use the modem connections to reach back into voting machines or the election management systems to install malware, change software, or alter official results.

Therefore, not only are hackers able to penetrate elections through vulnerable USB cards and election management systems, but also through the very voting machines themselves.

Biden got 255,000 ‘excess’ votes in fraud-tainted swing states in 2020, study finds

QUOTE: President Biden received hundreds of thousands of “excess” votes in Democratic-controlled areas in the 2020 election, according to an academic study on voter fraud that suggests the push to relax voting standards created new opportunities for electoral mischief.

John R. Lott Jr., the man behind the research, teased out those numbers by comparing Democratic-dominant areas to Republican-dominant places over the past two presidential elections, particularly in places where claims of election fraud were reported in 2020.

Looking at six swing states, the data he crunched found that voter turnout in Republican areas increased from 2016 to 2020 while voter turnout among Democrats dropped — except in places where voter fraud was claimed.

That accounted for 255,000 “excess” votes for Mr. Biden above what would be expected, Mr. Lott said. His paper has been accepted for publication in Public Choice, a peer-reviewed journal specializing in the intersection of economics and political science.

“More heavily Democratic counties actually had a slightly lower turnout in 2020, except for counties where vote fraud was alleged. In those counties, you had a huge increase in turnout,” Mr. Lott told The Washington Times in an interview explaining his findings.

“In some of those swing states, you had counties where vote fraud was alleged. In some of those swing states, you had counties where vote fraud wasn’t alleged. And yet you only had huge increases in turnout where vote fraud was alleged,” he said.

Military Doctor Testifies in Court: High-Level Command Ordered Her Silence Over Frightening Vaccine Data.

QUOTE: An Army flight surgeon said she was ordered not to discuss military medical data when giving testimony in a case regarding a Navy commander who refused to receive a COVID shot.

Dr. Theresa Long testified COVID shots were resulting in members of the military developing demyelination of the central nervous system, Liberty Counsel reported.

She made that determination while working with Dr. Pete Chambers, a Green Beret surgeon.

They came to their conclusion as they reviewed the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database, the military equivalent of the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System operated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

When asked during her testimony about data in the DMED, Long, a lieutenant colonel, replied, “I have been ordered not to answer that question.”

“Ordered by who?” queried Judge Steven Merryday of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division.

Long said she was told by high-level command not to bring up military data in her testimony.

Matt Staver of Liberty Counsel, representing the embattled Navy commander, then asked if the data were important and relevant.
“Yes,” Long said.
“Why?” asked Staver.

Long was nearly in tears, Liberty Counsel reported. She looked at the judge and said, “I have so many soldiers being destroyed by this vaccine. Not a single member of my senior command has discussed my concerns with me.””I have nothing to gain and everything to lose by talking about it,” she added. “I’m OK with that because I am watching people get absolutely destroyed.”

She said she is continually contacted by individuals injured by the shots, “predominantly pilots, and pilots have to meet one of the highest fitness standards.”

Call Your Senators

Dear Patriots,

We strongly oppose the current Biden nominee to the Supreme Court.  She does not respect the Rule of Law.

Judge Ketanji Jackson Brown has a long record of giving individuals, who watch and produce sexually explicit videos using children, big breaks when it comes how long they are in prison.

The Biden Regime is rushing this nomination for the seat now held by Justice Beyer so they can slip it through while we are not paying attention. Justice Beyer does not leave his position on the court until the end of June. The White House and the Democrats are not sharing vital information with the Republicans and the public. At the very least more time is necessary to vet her.

We ask that you contact your two Senators, regardless of party, and ask them to vote no on this nomination. Judge Jackson Brown has a proven and recent record of being lenient on pornographers.

If you can not get through on the Congressional switch board, look up your Senators offices in your state.  How to contact your Senators.  Contact them by phone and email.  Be polite and respectful, but firm and informed. Please read the articles below for more information.

Ketanji Brown Jackson Reduced Prison Sentences for Sex Traffickers and Child Pornographers

QUOTE: Pro-life Sen. Josh Hawley expressed alarm Wednesday about U.S. Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson’s “soft” record on child sex offenders amid growing concerns about protecting children from abuse.

“Judge Jackson has a pattern of letting child porn offenders off the hook for their appalling crimes, both as a judge and as a policymaker,” the Missouri Republican wrote on Twitter. “This is a disturbing record for any judge, but especially one nominated to the highest court in the land,” Hawley continued. “Protecting the most vulnerable shouldn’t be up for debate. Sending child predators to jail shouldn’t be controversial.”

A lawyer, Hawley said he recently began researching Jackson’s legal record and was disturbed to notice “an alarming pattern when it comes to Judge Jackson’s treatment of sex offenders, especially those preying on children.”


“In every single child porn case for which we can find records, Judge Jackson deviated from the federal sentencing guidelines in favor of child porn offenders,” Hawley said.

He cited several examples, including a case where a criminal possessed thousands of images of child pornography and wanted to travel across state lines to abuse a 9-year-old girl. The senator said guidelines call for a sentence of 97 to 121 months, but Jackson sentenced the criminal to only 57 months.

In another case, Jackson gave a lesser sentence to a man who distributed more than 100 child pornography videos and sent lewd images to his own 10-year-old daughter, he continued.

“This goes beyond ‘soft on crime.’ I’m concerned that this is a record that endangers our children,” he said.

2- Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson gave a man who distributed 600 images of children a slap on the wrist. The Epoch TimesConvict Grateful to Supreme Court Nominee for Light Sentence for Child Pornography

QUOTE: A man convicted of child pornography distribution is grateful that Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson gave him a sentence lower than that recommended by prosecutors and sentencing guidelines.

Wesley Hawkins said he was displeased when Jackson sentenced him in 2013 but later reconsidered his view. … “I wasn’t very happy that she gave me three months, though, after reflection when I was in jail, I was hearing from other people who said it was their first time arrested and they got five years, six years,” Hawkins told the Washington Post.

Hawkins, a District of Columbia resident, was arrested and charged with distributing over 600 images of child porn in 2013. He pleaded guilty and faced up to 20 years in prison. If sentencing guidelines were followed, Hawkins would been jailed for between 97 and 121 months. Prosecutors recommended 24 months behind bars, based in part on the age of the defendant, who was 19 at the time. Jackson opted to sentence Hawkins to just three months in prison, as well as three months of home confinement and 73 months of probation.

A number of senators have questioned the lenient sentencing.

“You had an 18-year-old who possessed and distributed hundreds of images of 8-year-olds and 9-year-olds and 10-year-olds and you gave him frankly a slap-on-the-wrist-sentence of three months,” Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) told the judge.

3- When experts on child pornography and pedophiles gave definitions of those terms, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson ignored them.

Just The News

Ketanji Brown Jackson’s claim child pornographers aren’t pedophiles disputed by own experts

QUOTE:Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, President Joe Biden’s Supreme Court nominee, disagreed with her own expert witnesses about the definition of pedophilia during her time as Vice Chair of the U.S. Sentencing Commission, according to hearing transcripts.

Jackson, who testified in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee last week, has been accused by Republicans of giving lenient sentences to child sex criminals. She defended her actions and said she was “doing what law students do” when she wrote an essay in Harvard Law School criticizing the treatment of sex offenders.

The Biden nominee clashed in February 2012 during a Sentencing Commission hearing with witnesses Gerald Grant, a New York digital forensics investigator, James Fottrell, a U.S. Justice Department expert in criminal child exploitation, and Dr. Gene Abel, the founder of Abel Screening, a medical group that works to identify pedophiles.

QUOTE: Mike Davis, former chief counsel for judicial nominations at the Senate Judiciary Committee and founder of the Article III Project that researched Jackson’s Sentencing Commission record, told the John Solomon Reports podcast that the Biden nominee is “dangerous” for her views on child pornography.

“She thinks that people who possess and distribute child pornography, she calls them non-producers. That’s left-Wing euphemism for people who sit around and take pleasure watching kids getting raped on the computer screen because that’s what child pornography is,” Davis said. “She posited that these people, these child pornographers, are not pedophiles. So, therefore, they’re not a danger to kids. And so, therefore, we don’t need to put them in prison for as long as Congress has mandated we put them in prison. That’s the whole point of all this.”

Her expert witnesses told her that she was “completely wrong,” Davis said. “Nonetheless, she contradicted the only expert testimony she had… and she made her theory, a key finding of this 2012 Sentencing Commission report.”

Despite being told by experts that all child sex criminals are dangerous, she has seemingly stuck to her beliefs that there are various levels of offenders.

4- The left is attempting to smear Justice Clarence Thomas. Again. Chris Barron at Human EventsClarence Thomas vs Ketanji Brown Jackson – The Media’s Most Brazen Farce

QUOTE: Maybe no week in my lifetime has more exposed the gaslighting and bitterly partisan nature of the legacy media more than this week. Two of the weeks biggest stories revolved around the Supreme Court – the first is the confirmation hearings for Joe Biden’s pick to the highest court in the land, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and the second is the story relating to Clarence Thomas and his wife’s opinions on the 2020 election.

Usually, the legacy media – willing handmaidens for the progressive left – at least attempt to put some time and space in between their hypocritical treatment of similarly situated individuals. Alas, maybe as a sign of just how comfortable they are with their roles as advocates rather than journalists, this week we were treated to the media’s most brazen farce yet.

Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation hearings are being savagely criticized by the legacy media for – gasp! – involving questions about the nominee’s record and judicial philosophy. While Brett Kavanaugh could be smeared with baseless allegations of gang rape and Amy Coney Barrett could have her religious beliefs criticized and even her decision to adopt criticized, the media wants Americans to believe that those smear jobs are in bounds and that in bounds questions to Jackson are smears.

Virginia Thomas didn’t participate in the riot at the Capitol, Virginia Thomas broke no laws and committed no crimes – beyond the crime of having an opinion that the legacy media doesn’t like.

The goal of the media harassment of Virginia Thomas is clear, she isn’t the target, Supreme Court Clarence Thomas is the target. The effort here is to seek to drive Thomas from the Court or, at the very least, to pressure Thomas into recusing himself from any case before the Court dealing with Trump or election integrity efforts.

Every week I think to myself, the legacy media has hit rock bottom, and yet every week they prove me wrong. Turn them off, tune them out, they are the enemy.

DEVASTATING! President Trump Lays Out the Voter Fraud in Georgia from 2020 Election during Commerce, GA Speech (VIDEO)

President Trump spelled out the numerous ways Democrats with the help of RINO Republicans stole the 2020 election in the state of Georgia.  This was devastating!

6- There is no reliable data on anything related to Covid-CCP. Even the military health data is bogus.
Daniel Horowitz at The Blaze

5 ways DOD’s recalibrated health surveillance data looks like a fraudulent attempt to cover vaccine injury
QUOTE:For the past two months, and possibly even earlier, the Defense Health Agency’s Armed Forces Health Surveillance Division has beensystematically changing the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED) health surveillance data for active-duty soldiers without any transparency. Where are the congressional inquiries?

On Jan. 24, attorney Thomas Renz brought three named military doctors as whistleblowers to Sen. Ron Johnson, and many more who submitted private affidavits, attesting to the fact that DMED showed a massive increase in numerous diagnosis codes ranging from cancers, blood disorders, and heart ailments to strokes, nervous system disorders, and reproductive issues.
They attested in sworn statements that the increase in the data reflected their clinical experience in the military over the past year and is, in their professional opinion, the result primarily of mass vaccine injury from the COVID shots.

In a bizarre twist, the military went on to change the data in the ensuing days without ever conducting a formal investigation into what went wrong or releasing a statement to the public. Rather, a week later, in a terse statement to PolitiFact, of all places, officials claimed the high numbers for 2021 were indeed correct, but that there was a glitch in the data for 2016-2020 used by the whistleblowers to establish a baseline, rendering those years way too low.

QUOTE: It’s very possible that two things can be true at the same time — that coincidently, there was a long-standing problem with the military health surveillance and there was mass vaccine injury. But what is clear is that the government’s current data appears to be fraudulent, its narrative behind the data problem is nearly impossible to believe, and officials’ behavior and statements since January are unacceptable.

Based on what we already know from VAERS, excess mortality rates, and insurance data around the world, there clearly is a degree of vaccine injury that is not being reported. The totality of the DMED data still shows these concerns in many categories. At the same time, the data is now completely sabotaged, and it’s unclear whether there were long-standing problems with the data from day one. The concern of vaccine injury and a damaged health surveillance system are vital to national security and are equally as problematic.
Yet, our government wants us to believe that the first problem doesn’t exist and the second problem was instantly fixed. Clearly, there is more to the story.

7- They lied about the data on children’s deaths from Covid-CCP so they could push the vaccine. THE EPOCH TIMESCDC Removes 24 Percent of Child COVID-19 Deaths, Thousands of Others

QUOTE: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has removed tens of thousands of deaths linked to COVID-19, including nearly a quarter of deaths it had listed in those under 18 years old.

The health agency quietly made the change on its data tracker website on March 15.

“Data on deaths were adjusted after resolving a coding logic error. This resulted in decreased death counts across all demographic categories,” the CDC says on the site.

The CDC relies on states and other jurisdictions to report COVID-19 deaths and acknowledges on its website that the data is not complete.

But the statistics are often cited by doctors and others when pushing for COVID-19 vaccination, including figures who believe virtually all children should be vaccinated. Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the CDC’s director, cited the tracker’s death total in November 2021 while pushing for an expert panel to advise her agency to recommend vaccination for all children 5 to 11 years old.

Good News Friday

Dear Patriots,

Progress comes in fits and bits. Sometimes it is hard to see it.

1- John Nolte writing at Breitbart has a interesting analysis of recent polling. We do not send this to you as an endorsement of any candidate. We send it to remind you that your opinions are not outliers. We are the majority.

Breitbart 

Donald Trump’s Favorability Rating Tops Every National Political Figure

QUOTE: Former President Donald Trump’s favorability rating is in much better shape than every national political figure, including those the corporate media spend billions of dollars to protect.

What’s so fascinating about Trump — and I’ll get to the specific numbers in a bit — is that for the last five years, the corporate media have spent billions of dollars smearing the guy as a racist, sexist, predator, Russian puppet… And it’s not working.

What’s also interesting is that Trump can oftentimes be his own worst enemy regarding likability. This is a very smart and charming guy who can also be petty, childish, obsessed with things that don’t matter, and entirely too abrasive for what many people see as the role of a president or even a former president. Nevertheless, he’s wiping the floor with the media-approved politicians, at least for right now.

2- The airlines are hearing from customers. As prices are now soaring for air travel, they do not need another reason for people not to take to the sky. EVERYONE knows that masks are a tool of the left to show fear and compliance. There is nothing about them that keeps anyone healthy.

HOT AIR 

Airlines to Biden: We’ve had enough of mask mandates

QUOTE: More accurately, customers of ten airlines have grown fed up with mandated mask wearing for hours on end. Their CEOs have published an open letter to Joe Biden asking him to end the mandate for air travel as well as any “predeparture testing requirements.” These “no longer make sense in the current public health context.”

The letter comes after Biden pledged to veto any congressional action lifting the mandates.

Furthermore, travelers know full well that mask mandates are unnecessary. Some people might still choose to mask, especially those with particular vulnerabilities, but most probably would look at case counts and shrug — especially if they’ve been vaccinated and/or exposed before. Having flight attendants enforce a mandate that accomplishes nothing but hours of discomfort for no good purpose puts them in an unfair and potentially dangerous position, a point that the CEOs raise specifically in their letter to Biden.

So will Biden finally back down? Probably not, although you can bet that the airlines will start putting pressure on Congress to act anyway. It’s time for consumers to do the same. We have vaccines, widespread natural exposure, and lots of ways to treat COVID-19. The time for mandates has come to an end, except for those who fell in love with the power that created the mandates in the first place. And that’s a bigger problem than wearing masks.

3- It is wonderful to see that at least in Florida, children are being taught something useful and meaningful for their lives and not the racist garbage the unions push on children. We can only hope that there is a section on taxes and inflation and how that impacts a family budget.

DeSantis Signs Bill Making Financial Literacy Class a Requirement for High Schoolers

QUOTE: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed a measure Tuesday making a financial literacy class a requirement for high school students.

Flanked by several individuals, including Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran and Senate President Wilton Simpson, DeSantis explained they are working to provide students with the “fullest education possible,” as the Sunshine State is devoted to high standards.

“Today I think is good because what the bill’s doing with financial literacy is really providing a foundation for students that’s going to be applicable in their lives regardless of what path they take,” he said during the Pasco County press conference.

This will “provide a foundation for students to learn about the basics of money management, understanding debt, understanding how to balance a check book, understanding the fundamentals of investing,” he said.”Any financial literacy has really been intertwined with economics courses, which you know, economics is a little bit different than financial literacy. And so we want a strong focus on economics, both micro and macro, but you want to also have standalone financial literacy,” the governor added.

4- On another issue, Gov. DeSantis is winning despite a massive campaign to tear him apart.

Red State 

Ron DeSantis Wins Again as Poll of Florida Dems on Parental Rights Bill Shatters Fake Narratives

QUOTE: As we’ve previously reported, the mainstream media and the “progressive” left have been braying like mules for the last several weeks over the Florida parental rights legislation that critics have falsely labeled the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.

To his credit, Gov. Ron DeSantis has responded accordingly to the outcry and various fake narratives surrounding the bill, noting that it does not in fact “ban” saying “gay” in public school classrooms and that in actuality, what it does is prevents age-inappropriate lesson plans on sexual orientation and gender ideology in K-3 classrooms, and enshrines parental rights when it comes to discussions of such sensitive subject matters with children.

Upset that their attempts at getting DeSantis to look like the bad guy over this bill have at best had “mixed results” in terms of polling, the media have taken to suggesting that DeSantis’ defense of it as well as him supposedly “wading into culture wars” that Democrats started might backfire on down the line with Florida voters.

The problem with that argument, however, is that even among Democrat primary voters, DeSantis is faring well on this issue per a recent poll taken on the Democrat gubernatorial primary race:

The elephant in the room here for Democrats is that there has been a noticeable shift in said “culture wars” over the last couple of years when it comes to parental involvement in their children’s education, which we saw play out against Democrats in the 2021 gubernatorial election in Virginia.

5- Mississippi has become the latest state to ban Critical Race Theory from being taught in public K-12 schools and universities.

Campus Reform    

Governor bans Critical Race Theory in schools, says it ‘threatens the integrity of education’

QUOTE: Governor Tate Reeves said on Twitter that Critical Race Theory ‘threatens the integrity of education & aims only to humiliate and indoctrinate.’

After nearly two months of debate, Mississippi has become the latest state to ban Critical Race Theory from being taught in public K-12 schools and universities.  

Governor Tate Reeves signed Senate Bill 2113 on Mar. 14 after it passed the Mississippi Senate in a 32-2 vote. The House had approved it in a 75-43 vote.

The new legislation states that public institutions cannot teach that any “sex, race, ethnicity, religion, or national origin is inherently superior or inferior” nor that individuals should be “treated adversely” on the basis thereof.

Furthermore, the bill prevents instructors from conducting a lesson that “compels students to personally affirm, adopt, or adhere to” the above description.

Violating this law could result in a school losing State Department of Education funding.

6- This is a big court win for our children.

Children’s Health Defense  

Children’s Health Defense Wins Federal District Court Injunction On District of Columbia’s Minor Consent for Vaccinations Act

QUOTE: On March 18, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia issued an order granting a preliminary injunction to prohibit the mayor of the District of Columbia, the D.C. Department of Health and D.C. public schools from enforcing the D.C. Minor Consent for Vaccination Act of 2020 until further order of the court.

“This is a major legal victory for children, parental rights, and informed consent,” said Rolf Hazlehurst, senior staff attorney for Children’s Health Defense (CHD) who argued the case. “Government overreach such as this has dire implications for children’s health and the constitutional rights of citizens.”

The D.C. Minor Consent for Vaccination Act of 2020, allows children eleven years of age and older to consent to vaccinations without their parents’ knowledge or consent. The law specifically targets children whose parents have religious exemptions for their children. The D.C. Act contains several provisions designed to deceive parents and hide the fact that their children have been vaccinated against their parental judgment, authority or religious convictions.

The court order states that the parents “have shown they are likely to succeed on the merits because the District’s law requires providers to hide children’s vaccination status from parents who invoke their religious exemption rights…”

We Win Some … We Lose Some

This week is bringing us mixed results. One step forward, one step back. Despite that, we remain determined and optimistic that we will win back the country. 

1- This is not the outcome we had hoped for.  The Epoch Times
Jan. 6 Defendant Couy Griffin Found Guilty on One Charge, Acquitted of Other
QUOTE:The founder of Cowboys for Trump was found guilty on March 22 of illegally entering restricted U.S. Capitol grounds on Jan. 6, 2021.

U.S. District Court Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee, said Couy Griffin broke the law because he was aware he was in a restricted area and didn’t leave that day during the breach of the U.S. Capitol.

The judge decided on the charges against Griffin because the defendant opted for a bench trial versus a jury one.

“If I was anywhere except Washington, D.C., I would say, ‘Go with a jury trial,'” Griffin told reporters outside the courthouse. “You can’t get a fair jury trial in Washington, D.C., if you’re someone like me, a strong conservative.”

Griffin is to remain free on personal recognizance until sentencing.

2- It is hard to believe this is as far as we have moved on this issue in Georgia. 

BREITBART  Georgia Elections Board Approves Subpoena Power for Probe into Potential 2020 Election FraudQUOTE:The Georgia Elections Board granted subpoena power to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Monday to secure evidence into possible illegal ballot harvesting in the 2020 election.

In January, Raffensperger announced he would probe a complaint submitted in November by True the Vote, which details digital data of 242 people making visits to drop boxes to dump mail-in ballots.

The complaint says about 40 percent of the trips occurred between midnight and 5:00 a.m., an unusual time to drop off ballots. The probe is also looking into whether participants in the scheme were paid $10 for each ballot they dropped in the unsecure dropbox.

Maricopa County Receives Renewed Request For Records Or Information In 2020 Election Investigation – What Are They Hiding Now?

QUOTE:After stonewalling the Arizona Senate for nearly a year on access to routers, Splunk logs, and other subpoenaed items that were used in the rigged 2020 Presidential Election, Maricopa County continues to defy even the Arizona Attorney General.

AZ Attorney General Mark Brnovich certified the fraudulent election, and he is certifying the cover-up by allowing the County to continue withholding elections machines and data.

Arizona Senate President Karen Fann asked what they’re hiding now in a recent tweet.
“Apparently, they are only handing over what they want,” Fann told the Gateway Pundit.

During the Arizona Senate’s full forensic audit of Maricopa County’s 2020 election, Maricopa County refused to comply with legal and enforceable subpoenas for routers and Splunk logs. Arizona State Senator Sonny Borrelli needed to request intervention by AG Brnovich to finally reach a settlement agreement between the County and the Senate.

Exclusive: How Democrats Cheated In The 2020 Election

QUOTE: A new report from two cybersecurity experts who have reviewed all the election data from Mesa County, Colorado shows that a second and illegal database was secretly installed and used to manipulate votes in the 2020 election.

The report — officially called Mesa County Colorado Voting Systems Report #3 — was written by experts who analyzed all the data from Mesa County’s election server, which was saved before the Colorado Secretary of State and the electronic voting machine company “overwrote” and wiped away the contents of the server’s hard drive.

The report describes exactly how the electronic voting machines were used to change votes in the 2020 election — without election officials being aware of any fraud.

Let’s review the key findings of the report, and see the actual forensic evidence of the cheating, shall we?

Facing Stock Trade Controversy, Cindy Axne Used Taxpayer Funds To Hire Dem Fixer
QUOTE:Just two days after a nonpartisan watchdog group filed a complaint showing congresswoman Cindy Axne failed to disclose up to $645,000 in stock trades, the Iowa Democrat used thousands of dollars in taxpayer funds to hire liberal fixer Marc Elias.

Axne, who is facing a difficult reelection bid in a district former president Donald Trump won in both 2016 and 2020, went on to concede that she failed to report the trades, calling the oversight a “clerical issue.” In order to rectify the problem, Axne said she brought in an “outside counsel to audit her reports.” But Axne did not reveal whom she hired and the subsequent cost to the taxpayer. Now, Axne’s financial filings suggest the Democrat used at least $18,229 in taxpayer funds to enlist Elias.

Axne is far from the only Iowa Democrat to turn to Elias when facing a controversial issue. After failed congressional candidate Rita Hart lost by six votes to Republican congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks in 2020, the Democrat hired Elias to attempt to overturn the election. Instead of taking the issue to the Iowa court system, Elias attempted to bring the decision to a vote in the House, where Democrats hold a majority. The strategy eventually failed—but only after House Democrats billed taxpayers more than $800,000 in legal fees.

6- The last two years have eroded trust in every aspect of the government and in our leadership. NYPOSTAmericans feel less free, don’t trust leaders post-COVID pandemic: poll

QUOTE: For many Americans, March 11, 2020 is the day the coronavirus started to feel like a real pandemic, as our elected officials rushed to respond to the crisis. Two years later, Americans’ view of their civil liberties — and their confidence in public officials — has taken a beating. 

A new poll conducted by YouGov and Americans for Prosperity (AFP) and released exclusively to The Post reveals that Americans feel their core freedoms are less secure than before the pandemic. This is true often by substantial margins: 42% feel less secure about voicing their opinions, 43% feel less secure about their freedom to protest, 36% feel less secure about their freedom to exercise religious beliefs. 

This is bad news for our foundational rights. Even if our rights remain on solid legal ground, the perception they are not can cause us to think twice about speaking up. 
It’s also bad news for our public officials.  

While a healthy skepticism of government power is wise in a democracy, in a true crisis public officials must make snap decisions to protect the public. Whether people follow those decisions depends, in part, on their confidence in the leaders making them. Unfortunately, when asked about every single institution or office in the YouGov/AFP poll, the majority of respondents said their trust in those institutions had dropped. 

Nearly three in five Americans said the government did a “somewhat” or “very poor” job clearly communicating to the public about data or reasoning regarding any pandemic restriction or requirement. And 54% thought government officials did a “somewhat” or “very poor” job applying any restrictions or requirements to all people (including themselves) equally.

7- It is hard to imagine why most Americans do not trust any of our institutions.

CDC Tells New York Times It Hid Covid Data For Political Reasons
 QUOTE:The article says when the Centers for Disease Control “published the first significant data on the effectiveness of boosters in adults younger than 65…it left out the numbers for a huge portion of that population: 18- to 49-year-olds, the group least likely to benefit from extra shots.”

“The agency has been reluctant to make those figures public,” according to the Times, “because they might be misinterpreted as the vaccines being ineffective.”

After “several inquiries from The New York Times,” CDC unexpectedly decided to publish its data on the risks of hospitalization and death from both unvaccinated and vaccinated Americans, with or without booster dosing. But it did so in a manner that obscures younger individuals’ overall Covid risks, which is very low, instead attempting to force a comparison between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals’ hospitalization. The exact data about Covid risks by specific age has not been released in any graphical or easily viewable form anywhere.

This rationale for deliberately hiding government-collected effectiveness data was even confirmed by the CDC’s spokeswoman, Kristen Nordlund. This taxpayer-funded agency didn’t want to give taxpayers the full picture of vaccine effectiveness—for their own good.

It also feels confident enough to publicly admit this, but only after many Americans were fired from their jobs and suffered from serious adverse events and deaths after they were forced to take shots they didn’t want based precisely on false narratives fueled by CDC duplicity.

That rationale from the CDC hardly justifies the fact that the selective omission of public health information is more than clinical malpractice; it is scientific fraud.

Remain Skeptical

Dear Patriots,

Remain skeptical is the best advice we can give now. No matter what the topic, do not believe most of what you hear and read.

1- The far left Democrats on the January 6 Committee have admitted that they are only keeping their scam operation going to get past the Midterm Elections.

The Federalist 

Democrats Admit Jan. 6 Committee Is All About Midterms

QUOTE: House Democrats prosecuting political dissidents in the form of the Select Committee on Jan. 6 admitted this week the show trial investigation is all about the November midterms.

On Friday, The Washington Post chronicled the committee’s next steps in a feature headlined “Jan. 6 committee faces a thorny challenge: Persuading the public to care” as Americans lose enthusiasm for severe retribution against those involved with a constitutionally protected rally 14 months ago, who are the true target of the committee’s work as opposed to perpetrators of the Capitol riot.

One lawmaker, the Post wrote, “added that even some of their Democratic constituents have lost interest in the committee’s work because of more pressing issues, like inflation and the coronavirus pandemic.” Americans are now coping with gas prices eclipsing their record peak and compounded by an inflation rate running at a four-decade high.

The Jan. 6 probe, however, is dominating lawmakers’ priorities, including Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney who is one of two Republicans appointed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to serve on the panel. Cheney, the Post reported, is “spending the majority of her time on the matter, people familiar with her work say,” instead of reclaiming her lost role on the Natural Resources Committee.

In other words, Cheney has devoted her tenure in Congress under the Biden administration to executing a vendetta against former President Donald Trump and his supporters, instead of countering the White House policy running against the interests of her constituents. Nearly half of Wyoming land is under federal oversight, with agriculture and resource extraction serving as two of the state’s primary industries. Its sole member of the lower chamber no longer serves on the premier committee to navigate the myriad public lands issues important to Wyoming voters while President Joe Biden aims to choke off new oil and gas leases on federal lands.

Remain Skeptical My Friend

QUOTE: I’m encouraging us all to bring our own skepticism and curiosity to the present unprecedented moment, in which new Pharma products, such as mRNA vaccines are being consumed by the majority of people in our country, evermore including children. The approval for these products are based upon rushed clinical trials and authorized by an FDA that is now refusing to release the safety data from those clinical trials.  

To be perfectly accurate, the FDA agreed to release the information, but wanted 55-years to do it.  (Google it: “FDA 55 years”).  To be even more accurate, the FDA then asked the Court for 75-years to release the information. Luckily, our courts have not agreed. So, Pfizer has a number of months to now release the data, with the first small bolus released earlier this month.

Unfortunately, the first batch of Pfizer documents released did not cause the state sponsored media to dig deep and do some actual reporting. Instead, those who did report on the contents then were labelled as dealing in MDM (the Homeland Security term for “mis/dis/mal information). It all comes full circle.

Curious?  Skeptical?  You should be. Because the news media isn’t going to do the job for you.

44 Studies on Vaccine Efficacy That Raise Doubts on Vaccine Mandates

QUOTE: As some people have now been vaccinated for more than half a year, evidence is pouring in about Covid vaccine efficacy. When evaluating vaccine efficacy, it is important to distinguish between efficacy against infection, symptomatic disease, and transmission versus efficacy against hospitalization and death. For infection and symptomatic disease, the COVID-19 vaccines are not as efficacious as hoped, with immunity gradually waning after a few months. For hospitalization and death, immunity is stronger, lasting for at least six months.

The gestalt of the findings implies that the infection explosion globally that we have been experiencing—post double vaccination in e.g. Israel, UK, United States, etc.—may be due to the vaccinated spreading Covid as much or more than the unvaccinated.

Hence, rather than the unvaccinated putting the vaccinated at risk, it could theoretically be the vaccinated that are putting the unvaccinated at risk, but we have not yet seen any evidence for that.

Here I summarize studies and reports that shed light on vaccine induced immunity against Covid. They highlight the problems with vaccine mandates that are currently threatening the jobs of millions of people. They also raise doubts about the arguments for vaccinating children.

4- We continue to fight for our military members who are still fighting the Covid-CCP shot mandates.

The Military’s Abusive Imposition of Mandatory Covid Vaccinations

QUOTE: In the past, the widespread introduction of vaccines has reduced the mortality and morbidity of millions and served as a model for preventative medicine and public health.

However, conditions change when for many a particular vaccine’s risks outweigh the benefits, the primacy of protective natural immunity is disregarded, the legality of the mandates and the accuracy of the evidence supporting them are credibly disputed, and the recipients’ basic human rights are ignored.

Under such conditions, compulsory administration programs are radical and unacceptable.

Military leaders are required to obey the law and should not require vaccinations when their legality and safety, and the accuracy of the data on which the mandates are based are in doubt. The current military Covid mandates are radical because they violate the following fundamental principles:

    • First Amendment allowance for religious exemptions
    • Fourth Amendment “right of the people to be secure in their persons”
    • Fifth Amendment due process and equal protection of the laws
    • Nuremberg Code of 1947 against medical experimentation without informed consent, recognized as US law by the Supreme Court
    • Hippocratic Oath, which compels physicians to at first do no harm, which involves considering the risks and benefits to the patient prior to any medical intervention
    • The primacy of natural immunity for force protection and mission readiness
The purging of healthy and otherwise qualified military members solely because they refuse to take the Covid vaccine impairs military readiness and security and undermines morale.
