Hundreds of thousands of Romanians are furious with the current government for the cancellation of the presidential election. They marched through the capital Bucharest to demand that the vote should proceed and that outgoing – and by now illegitimate – President Klaus Iohannis should resign.

According to Reuters, the vote was cancelled when the CIA and MI6 told Romania’s top court that the success of frontrunner Calin Georgescu, a critic of NATO, was due to an unfair social media campaign likely to have been orchestrated by Russia.

Combating Islamophobia

We are six days away from the end of the most destructive administration in American history. No administration has done more to damage the foundational values of this country. On the way out the door, the administration announced “the first-ever U.S. National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia and Anti-Arab Hate.”

Now, if there was a burgeoning crisis in Islamophobia, it would be good to see the administration working to the last minute to deal with such a crisis. What are the facts in this area?

If there is one talking point that the Communists Democrats will always talk about, it is that the rich do not pay their fair share of taxes. This despite the fact that the top 1% pay more than half of all the income taxes collected in this country.

California Congresswoman Maxine Waters lived up to her moniker as “Mad Max” when she appeared on NewsNation this week. Waters was there to talk about the devastating fires in her state with Chris Cuomo.

Trump Sentenced

The notorious Judge Juan Merchan, whose daughter raked in millions of dollars off the “trial” in her father’s courtroom, sentenced President-elect Donald Trump Friday morning for his ridiculous ‘hush money’ conviction in Manhattan. The initial purpose of this trial as well as the other lawfare trials was to prevent PDJT from campaigning and to deny PDJT the White House by smearing him.

That’s what lawfare is all about, creating public perceptions and using the judicial system to advance political goals. This is the ultimate example of the wrap-up smear that Nancy Pelosi so eloquently explained to reporters some years ago.

The working theory within the Democratic Party was that the American public would never elect PDJT if he was convicted of crimes in a courtroom. That theory was just that, a theory. It was created under the illusion that the American public would walk in lockstep with whatever mis-information that Big Media created. The real world turned out to be different from the Democratic Party’s view of it. Most Americans were not that stupid.

The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) is essentially blaming Tulsi Gabbard for the slow schedule for her confirmation as Director of National Intelligence (DNI). The supposed reason? Gabbard did not submit her question survey to the SSCI. Of course, the SSCI had never sent Gabbard the questionnaire for her to complete.

As most people in the country know at this point in time, wildfires are raging in California. Most of the destruction is occurring in Los Angeles County. Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, Los Angeles County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone said that the department was incapable of managing such a massive natural disaster. Of course, he did not mention that hundreds of firefighters were terminated for refusing to be injected with the mRNA therapy that was neither safe nor effective.

The Coup

Four years later, it is important to review what happened on January 6, 2021 in DC. It is important to repeat the facts of the day and to identify the whys of what happened. The history books need to reflect the reality of the day.

Following the scale of manipulation and fraud within the 2020 election, those involved needed to stop any state delegate challenge. One successful state election challenge would have upended the entire house of cards. To prevent this, an emergency session was needed for electoral vote count certification. Under an emergency session, normal debate rules would be suspended. The ability to bring a motion to the floor to challenge a state election would be vaporized.
