Streiff at Red State reports on “The Congressional Inaugural Committee Adjourns After It Fails To Agree Joe Biden Is President-Elect.”
To date, only a relatively small
number, about 27, Vichy Conservatives have lined up to welcome their new
master. That any have done so just shows the absolute cravenness of a small
but, I predict, a growing number of Republicans who will find life without
invitations to the right parties to be just too much to bear. It would have
cost them nothing to say nothing until the Electoral College votes and it would
have shown solidarity with that 70+% of Republicans and 50% of all Americans
who believe Joe Biden is the beneficiary of a fraudulent election. The only
conceivable reason to proclaim allegiance to some guy who chases his dog around
while buck naked is to just cast one final insult at a president they never
truly accepted as legitimate and who, as a newcomer to politics, understood the
mood of the American people and the issues of importance to them better than
the professional vote-chasers.
Eventually, there will be a
president-elect, but it will be one decided by the Electoral College, not one
appointed by the news media and demanded by geriatric Democrats.
Full report is here.

“On this National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, we recall the phrase “Remember Pearl Harbor,” which stirred the fighting spirit within the hearts of the more than 16 million Americans who courageously served in World War II. Over 400,000 gave their lives in the global conflict that began, for our Nation, on that fateful Sunday morning.
Today, we memorialize all those lost on December 7, 1941, declare once again that our Nation will never forget these valiant heroes, and resolve as firmly as ever that their memory and spirit will survive for as long as our Nation endures.”

From Powerline’s “The Week in Pictures: Monolith Mystery Edition:
Over at Conservative Treehouse, Sundance reports on a shop
owner in North Carolina who is not requiring customers to wear masks. He includes a link to the store so that
readers can have a way to show their support.
And he expands on the options we all have to stop petty tyrants –
governors, county officials, etc. – from exceeding their authority. Here’s a brief extract:
Local, regional and state officials
know they can control the behavior of an individual. If one barber shop opens,
the owner becomes a target. However, those officials also know they cannot
control the behavior of the majority. If every barber shop and beauty salon in
town opens… there is absolutely nothing the government can do about it.
If one restaurant and/or bar opens,
the state can target the owner. But if every bar and restaurant in town opens;
and if everyone ignores and dispatches the silly dictates of the local,
regional or state officials; there isn’t a damned thing they can do about it.
The power of the local, regional or
state authority comes from the expressed consent of the people. As soon as the
majority of people in that municipality deny that consent, those officials and
state authoritarians lose all of their power.
Yes, it really is that simple.
They want you to think otherwise,
but it is not true. If WE THE PEOPLE demand freedom and stand together
the control authority is useless.
Those who construct the systems of
control need to weaponize fear. Fear of arrest; fear of losing a
business; fear of losing liberty or financial security. Local, regional
and state officials rely on fear. As soon as the people are no longer
fearful, the control ends.
The overwhelming majority of
dictates around COVID-19 mitigation are not laws. There was no debate; no input
from representative government; and no option for the public to weigh-in on the
decisions.
All unilateral rules are arbitrary,
and despite many proclamations to the contrary, they rely upon voluntary
compliance. As soon as citizens no longer voluntarily comply, the term of
the rules has expired. If masks are so effective then why didn’t
government give masks to prisoners, instead of releasing the inmates?

‘The Most Important Speech I’ve Ever Made’ — Facebook And Twitter Immediately Flag Trump’s 46-Minute-Long Alleged Voter Fraud ‘Update’
President Donald Trump posted a 46-minute-long video Wednesday afternoon to Facebook and Twitter that was immediately marked as misleading by both companies.
Our household went around the dial to see if it was being broadcast. We found it on One America News. Otherwise, you can access it online at 100percentfedup here.
We also watched some of the election fraud hearings in Arizona, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Awful. But the mountain of evidence of election fraud will probably lead to some of the controversial ballot tallies to be de-certified.

David Horowitz of Freedom Center posted an article today on FrontPageMagazine titled “Where We Are and What We are Facing.” He was raised in
a Communist family and figured out as a young man that the Communist party was
pure evil; he analyzes today’s crises
through that lens. Here is an extract:
The “social justice” radicals still
have the best slogans. They call themselves progressives but are actually
reactionaries. They call themselves liberals but are actually bigots. They say
they’re for peace when they are organized for war. It is always the same war:
to bring down the United States of America.
Thanks mainly to their growing
influence, we live in extreme times, where things are not what they are made to
seem, and monstrous accusations are leveled at individuals without restraint.
As a result, we live in an atmosphere of intimidation, where people can lose
their livelihoods, their careers and even their lives if they get on the wrong
side of leftist crusaders. That is a terrible thing to have to say in this once
free country, but it is something that has become too obvious to deny.
. . .
Forty years ago, I left the left
when I saw that it was a destructive force that would never change. Leftists do
not tolerate dissenters in their ranks. They suppress politically incorrect
ideas and cast out their perpetrators, demonizing them in the process. As a
result, leftists never learn from their “mistakes” or take responsibility for
their crimes. Thus, in every generation a new destructive crusade for “social
justice” is launched, oblivious of the disasters previous radical campaigns
left in their wakes.
The leaders of Black Lives Matter
proclaim “We are trained Marxists,” as though that were a badge of honor rather
than a confession of dangerous ignorance and a kiss of death. Every successful
Marxist revolution without exception has established a ruthless police state,
which more often than not conducts genocidal persecutions of ethnic minorities.
In other words, social injustice on an epic scale. Yet that is the
prospect we face in a reactionary left that has learned nothing from the past
and is intent on destroying the most tolerant, inclusive, egalitarian society
ever created. The good news is that a patriotic movement has risen, rededicated
to the propositions that all men are created equal and endowed with God-given
rights to life and liberty, and is prepared to defend them.
