JFK Inaugural Speech, 1961:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Now the trumpet summons us again–not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need — not as a call to battle, though embattled we are — but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, 'rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation'–a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Of the four, tyranny is greatest threat at the present time, the tyranny of the deep state operatives who control the Democrat Party and pull the strings of the puppet-in-chief, Joe Biden, and who desperately tried, but failed, to replace him with the puppet Kamala Harris.  Despite the stinging rebuke visited upon the anti-democratic Dem cadre, they will not give up. Their nihilism has deep and mephitic sources.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was hoping to uncover an etymological connection between mephitic<\/a> and Mephistopheles<\/a>, but I found no evidence of one.<\/span><\/p>\n

After Penny<\/a>.  Excerpt:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Instead, the left and the weaponized government institutions under its control used Penny\u2019s race, gender, and courage to try to make him a national pariah and a living symbol of its twisted ideas of \u201cwhite privilege\u201d and \u201csystemic racism.\u201d He had to entertain daily the possibility that he could spend up to 20 years in prison for protecting himself and others, and then live out the remainder of his life as an ex-con whose alleged crimes were rooted in purported racism. He had to live in the knowledge that the elected judicial authorities of our country\u2019s largest and supposedly greatest city\u2014<\/a>with the unreserved support of many civic leaders, criminal justice theorists, and major leaders of one of our country\u2019s two major political parties\u2014did everything in their power to impose just that outcome on him. He likely realized that if they succeeded\u2014and even if they failed, as they did\u2014they would be emboldened to  punish others with the same process.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Trump's Vengeance Tour<\/a>?  <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Last week, I noted with alarm<\/a> that House Republicans were shrugging off\u2014or even approving of\u2014Donald Trump wanting to jail some of their past and current colleagues who served on the January 6th Committee. As it turns out, I underestimated their bloodthirstiness.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Apparently these embittered losers are incapable of distinguishing between revenge\/vengeance and retributive justice. Are these two-bit Bulwark journos unaware that 'retribution' has two importantly different senses in English? <\/span><\/p>\n

Whence drones<\/a>?<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I am not able [not able, Rod, or not willing?] to tell you where this idea comes from, but I can assure you that, from my sources, it\u2019s not idle speculation. Thesis: the drones are from China.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

China is taunting us, showing us how advanced its technology is, and that it can violate US airspace with impunity. We don\u2019t have the ability to detect these things before they arrive, and they can cloak themselves from our radar. I had wondered why China or any nation would reveal its advanced technology in this silly way. A possible answer: it could be a display of power in advance of an invasion of Taiwan, as a kind of \u201cAre you sure you want to mess with us, Yanks?\u201d way. Doing this could be a shrewd way of firing a warning shot.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Is Dreher suggesting that Alejandro Mayorkas, Director of Homeland (In?)Security, has been lying<\/em> to us, along with the rest of the Dementocrat regime about the provenience of drones? Dreher's thesis is the most plausible explanation I can think of.  <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
