Chinese Bioweapons Labs in the U.S.
Timothy Birdnow
The Chicoms are
running secret biolabs inside the United States and people are getting sick in an air-b-and-b as a result.
There is only one reason to run such labs; to make biological weapons to unleash on Americans.
What the HELL is the Trump Administration doing about China? They are funding the rioters in Minnesota and elsewhere in an open attempt to tamper with our upcoming election and they are running secret police stations to strongarm and compel Chines immigrants to obey the Communist Party and now we learn they are running bioweapons labs here in the U.S. Yet Trump recently called his phone call with Xi Xiangping "excellent" when he should have reamed the old SOB a new one over this stuff.
I trust Donald Trump by and large but only to a point. I need to know we are taking steps to squeeze the life out of the Chicoms. This has to stop.

Republican Senators Fail to End Welfare for Illegals
Timothy Birdnow
How do you get rid of roaches or mice? You first make sure there is no food to attract them.
Senate GOP fails to halt welfare funding for non-citizens
As long as we are laying out an all-you-can-eat buffet they will keep coming. Many of them are here to suckle on the teat of the American taxpayer.
The Senate shows by this vote they really aren't serious about protecting the American taxpayer, nor about ending illegal immigration.
From Just the News:
U.S. Senate Republicans failed to halt over $5 billion in funding for refugees, with 20 GOP senators joining every Senate Democrat to continue providing costly taxpayer benefits to refugees.
U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., introduced the End Welfare for Non-Citizens Act to end taxpayer benefits for refugees, asylees and illegal immigrants earlier this week.
In an impassioned plea on the Senate floor Friday afternoon, Paul argued that the U.S. shouldn’t be "the world’s sugar daddy.”
"Many refugees are good people, frankly, some of the best Americans just got here, but our welcome mat should not be a welfare check. Anyone who sponsors immigrants or refugees should be responsible for their welfare,” the senator argued before the vote.
You know, the Republicans should call the Democrat's bluff and tell them we would stop all demands for deportations and even strict border vetting in return for an end to any and all government welfare programs for illegal aliens. You know how that will turn out; they'll refuse, and no doubt call Republicans racist in the process. It might expose them but the meia will labor to cover it up. The fact is the Democrats need the welfare programs as much as they need the aliens; it's the only way their scheme to gain eternal dominance in politics will work. They not only need the aliens here to vote and become citizens but they need the programs to lure them and bribe them into voting Democrat.
Cut off the money and you cut off the enticement to immigrate. I compared it once to feeding birds in the park; you start with tossing some stale bread to one bird and before you know it you have a whole flock. You would have just the one bird pecking the ground if you hadn't decided to be Mr. Nice Guy. Now you got 'em all hounding you and crapping on your car.

Trump Won't Use Feds to Impose Order in Rioting States

]substantial drawdown of Federal Agents in Minnesota.
I know what Trump is doing; he's trying to avoid a trap in which he sends in the National Guard and they can then say he's trying to take over. But how will this be perceived by the average American? All they will see is Nero sawing on his fiddle during the fire. The Democrats will accuse him of letting these states burn. And in some ways it's an accurate accusation insofar as Trump's sworn duty is to protect life and property and if the Blue Man Party refuses to do it it's his responsibility. Of course the media won't put any blame on Walz or any other governor who is violating THEIR sworn duty, and the hypocrisy is astonishing, but the average person will just see rioting and Trump not doing anything about it. It's the reason why they are rioting in the first place; they know this will peel off the low information voters, who will want a return to "normalcy" and an end to the MAGA "experiment".
I said it before; imagine if Lincoln had just let the Confederates storm Ft. Sumpter without any sort of Federal response; it would have been the end of the United States.
These are revolutionary times and in revolutionary times you MUST show a firm hand. If you appear weak or vacillating the radicals will only be emboldened.
Trump must get far more aggressive if he wants to put a stop to this, and if he fails to put a stop to this the Democrats will win Congress, and if that happens everything comes back, the endless investiagions, the impeachments, the false charges. And Trump will get none of his agenda through, as he largely didn't in much of his first term.
Then he'll be out of office and facing criminal charges in multiple jurisdictions - he probably will spend the rest of his life in prison. All this if he doesn't handle this correctly. Oh, and the United States will fall apart and become a Soviet Republic.
Trump may have a plan. I hope he does, but his moves in this have been less than stellar and I can't see where he is going with this. I suspect he's just stalling for time in the hopes of winning in November but the GOP won't win in November unless they show some cajones. Trump is banking on the economy improving dramatically and thus winning the low-info vote, but the economy was roaring when Trump lost Congress in his first term. He's giving the public too much credit.
Just taking this threat off the table emboldens the radicals.
Meanwhile he needs to disrupt and prosecute the networks funding this, and that doesn't appear to be a high priority with Pam Bondi, anyway. Trump should investigate the sources of funding, many of which are foreign entites, and he should go on television with a rundown of who and what is tampering with the American political landscape. We were told the Russians tampered with the 2016 election and that led to a huge investigation of Trump and was used as justification to spy on him and other Republicans; why is this not an issue now?
Trump needs a masterful counter-stroke.

Judges Gone Wild
Timothy Birdnow
Another day, another judicial abomination.
This Uruguayan born judge blocked Trump;s ending of TPP
The text of the TPP law is quite explicit - there can be no judicial review of decisions made by the President. Since it is exercising his power over immigration the courts have no say in the matter.
But this Puta - judge Ana Reyes - is simply ignoring this provision. She argues it doesn't apply because, well, basically, she doesn't want it to apply:
the word "any determination” captures all determinations the Secretary may make—whether to expand, designate, or terminate—but it does not capture the process by which she reaches that determination.
So it depends on the meaning of the word is.
And since the Haitians who are here don't want to go back to a poorly run impoverished hellhole and poop into a hole in the ground Trump and his friends can't make them, so there!
This judge's primary argument is that Haitians benefit the economy. So she can rewrite laws passed by Congress because SHE believes it will be good for the economy. That isn't at all her field. Economic policy is political by design and the Judiciary is supposed to be the one branch of government that is a-political. She's sticking her nose where it doesn't belong.
In another episode of Judges Gone Wild an appellate court has
Boasberg repeatedly approved "Arctic Frost" warrants to spy on Trump and on others in the GOP. He has twice faced articles of impeachment in Congress, articles which died because of Democratic opposition.
We have to rein in the Judiciary; it was never supposed to dow what it has been doing. The weaponization of the Law is one of the great tragedies of the 21st century.

In the case of Judge Reyes, it would certainly seem to me that the wording of the law should be enough to slap her down. Perhaps since she's foreign-born, she's not well-enough versed in the language to understand the ins and outs of the law, but someone in the Executive Branch ought to be able to fix things properly.
In the case of Bozoberg, it's really past time he was sent to pasture with the help of some heavyweights. Guido, are you listening?

Reyes shouldn't have a law license if she can't understand the text of the law, much less be on the bench.
As for Boasberg he's not even trying to follow the law. He should be assigned no cases and moved into a broom closet until we can turn Congress enough to successfully remove him from office.

It's not Greener Grass in Minnesota - It's Astroturf
Timothy Birdnow
I was right; the Chinese are funding these 'protests' in Minneapolis, among others.
From the New York Post:
They organize on radical message boards and encrypted texting apps, but are backed by funds created by radical leftist billionaires.
"My team’s best judgement is that it’s the Neville Singham network that is most active [in Minnesota], partly because that’s the most crazy network. But they aren’t alone,” Scott Walter, president of Capital Research and an expert on dark money outfits, told The Post.
Walter was referring to the People’s Forum and the Party for Socialism and Liberation, both funded by China-based former software exec Singham.
Both groups promoted the "ICE Out” protests — which were organized by another group, called 50501 — through social media, and Walter said their members were in attendance, but he noted they have recently been getting their members to blend in more with the crowds.
Extreme Communists marching with mainstream unions like the American Federation of Teachers is a new and troubling development, influence expert Scott Walter told The Post.
"What’s new is, we are seeing truly extreme Communist splinter groups showing up alongside an American Federation for Teachers union or the Ford Foundation.
"That’s a disturbing trend for us who follow these things. Normally, they wouldn’t have been cheek by jowl publicly with those people,” Walter said.
"That kind of self-policing on the left seems to be disappearing.”
Singham, who did not respond to a request for comment, has become a major funder of left-wing activist networks, including protests in Minnesota and other cities, all coordinated from his base in Shanghai.
Not much happens from Chinese citizens without the Paty's approval; this Singham guy is a Communist infiltrator and this is a foreign attack on our sovereignty.
The article makes an excellent point:
"Have you noticed there’s no pro-Palestinian and anti-ICE protests going on at the same time? If it was organic, you would see multiple protests going on simultaneously, but you don’t see that,” Ian Oxnevad, a senior foreign affairs fellow at the National Association of Scholars, told The Post.
"There’s no mass protests like this against what is going on in Iran, for example, or any number of genocides that have happened. It’s always very specific causes that are anti-Western, essentially,” he added, referring to anti-regime unrest in Iran that has allegedly seen 36,000 protesters killed in recent weeks.
Friday’s Minneapolis protest occurred under the umbrella of the 50501 network, which operates largely in the shadows.
50501 lists its nonprofit "partners” on its website, including the Ford Foundation-funded Voices of Florida, a "black and queer-led” pro-abortion nonprofit, and former Bernie Sanders PAC Political Revolution.
The New York-based Ford Foundation philanthropic endowment, which gave Voices of Florida $100,000, is the 90-year-old philanthropic network founded by the carmaker Henry Ford that now says its mission is reducing inequality and promoting social justice.
This thing is as astroturfed as anything I have seen. Nothing about it is genuine.
I have been fighting with a bunch of trolls on Facebook over this and they are always the same - lots of passion, sneering, and insults and when you call them out they disappear. Somebody is paying them to troll.

Bill's correct, Tim. You're probably making the mistake of trying to make them see the light, which is not going to work even if you're using an LED searchlight.
As far as the NY Post article, it was a good one, and shows just what we're up against here; and also shows that not all of the "action" is from Minnesota idiots, at least, but from out-of-country Commies who are trying to look like local Commies.

I disagree guys. I do not argue to make the troll see the light - they won't. I argue in a public forum to give the arguments to those who may not know them. There are many people who are on the fence because all they hear is the leftist side and someone needs to make it their business to give our side of the argument. We have the stronger position but the weaker vehicle to deliver it.

The Hypocrites
Timothy Birdnow
There is apparently no limit to the hypocrisy of the wokeratti.
Yes, the woman who said we have no right to restrict illegal aliens because we "stole" the land has taken a man to court and gotten a restraining order for his trespassing in one of her homes.
So she is fine restricting access to HER property but isn't ok. with other people doing the very same thing.
That is hardly "stolen" land in Minnesota, I might add. There was nothing there until white people came and developed it.
John Locke's theory of property said that you cannot own land if it is in a state of nature, raw and undeveloped. It is only by improving land that you can claim ownership. That doesn't mean you have to build a city, but some changes, a fence, a well, even a shack, secures your right to ownership. The Indians didn't improve their lands - they just passed through most of them and laid claim with no other justification.
In English law (and thus American too) there is a concept called adverse possession. Commonly called "squatters rights" it says that if a person settles on unused property for a specified time (often seven years) with no complaint by the owner that person takes possession of said property (provided his residency was "open and notorious" so the owner would be aware someone was squatting.K).
So no, the land was not "stolen".
But if we accept her premise, was not the land on which her mansion is built stolen as well? If so, how dare she keep someone out. There is no right to own any land if "No one is illegal on stolen land.” All land was stolen from people who had been there before. Do we give Japan back to the Caucasian Ainu People? What about the Sioux, who claimed the Black Hills for their own when in fact they had only been there a hundred years, having kicked other tribes out (and those tribes acted as scouts for the military because they hated the Sioux for it.) And if this is the case, don't the Jews have first dibs on their land? I rather suspect Billie here is probably a big supporter of Hamas, yet Hamas was living on stolen land, stolen from the Jews.
At any rate this dim singer has shown her enormous hypocrisy.

Billie-Baby has not, to my knowledge, made any attempt to turn any of her "stolen" land over to any of the people it was presumably "stolen" from. If she did, she might find that it would be more difficult than she originally thought. That land may well have been occupied (though probably without legal deeds) by various "Native American" tribes, who would have warred over it to claim possession, going back perhaps to ancient Denisovan peoples.
I'll betcha that Billie's never heard of any of those peoples. Anybody want to take me up on that?

There actually is an Indian tribe who had claim to the land before it was settled and they issued a statement, very polite but back-handed, thanking her for caring about Indian rights but basically telling her to get off their property. Of course she is making no effort to do so.

The Donkeys keep hoping to find a grenade in there somewhere with Trump's name on it. It's increasingly doubtful they will. More likely, names of prominent Democrats will come to light. I'm glad to see that Bill and Hillary have finally agreed to testify, though I'm sure they'll have ways to protect themselves. I'm assuming, though it'll probably never come out, that both of them went on that plane in order to have fun with Ghislaine.
Meanwhile, the damage that Epstein did was in other ways than child molestation, though that was bad enough, and those things are unlikely to show up in the files.

Bill, I agree in theory but there are people who were innocent of anything whose names were just made public because the DOJ didn't have time to redact them. And the way things are today that can lead to all sorts of trouble for those folks.

Dark Matter Between the Ears
Timothy Birdnow
Except Dark Matter is still speculation with no real evidence for it's existence.
Science is becoming increasingly medieval, with fanciful speculations about how fanciful speculations might work being presented as science. It's not. Dark Matter is the ultimate in this regard (if one discounts Climate Change theory, that is). Dark matter is theorized solely as a way to balance the books because the expansion of the Universe doesn't go as the standard model predicted. They had to find something that slowed down universal expansion to the level we see so they postulated a form of matter that is invisible, like a Romulan warbird using a cloaking device Then when they put Dark Matter into the equations they find the universe shouldn't be expanding at all, or more slowly, so they then postulate Dark Energy which drives expansion while Dark Matter slows it.
This is rather like the old legend about the world sitting on the backs of four elephants. When the guru who said that is asked "what do those elephants stand on?" He replies "more elephants". When asked what THEY stand on he grows exasperated "it's elephants all the way". That's what Dark Matter reminds me of.
Actually there is a scientific theory that was all the rage in the late 19th century and well before that, going to classical times. The aether, or fifth element, was a theorized substance that moved through everything and was invisible but which pushed things. Many thought gravity was caused by the aether pushing downward into the Earth, for instance. Newton thought that. This theory was postulated to be what allowed light to move too. At any rate there was an experiment called the Michaelson-Morley Experiment in which a single beam of light was split, bounced off mirrors in different directions, then reconnected to measure the time lag between the two in the hopes of seeing which direction the Earth was moving relative to the aether. The light came back at the exact same time.
So Albert Einstein dismissed the existence of the aether for lack of evidence, and he managed to explain a lot of things in new and strange ways by chucking it. Today it is a quaint remnant of an earlier age, an incorrect exploded theory.
Actually there IS a kind of aether that passes through us all the time - neutrinos. Neutrinos are fermions - they have half integer spin - and not completely massless but nearly so. They pass through our bodies all the time harmlessly because they do not interact with matter. First theorized by Wolfgange Pauli in 1930 neutrinos have actually been detected.
But they do not compromise the aether as it was traditionally envisioned.
I think Dark Matter may well be just another theory like the aether. It sounds good and solves a lot of problems but ultimately is holding science back.
Physicists have unveiled a new way to simulate a mysterious form of dark matter that can collide with itself but not with normal matter. This self-interacting dark matter may trigger a dramatic collapse inside dark matter halos, heating and densifying their cores in surprising ways. Until now, this crucial middle ground of behavior was nearly impossible to model accurately. The new code makes these simulations faster, more precise, and accessible enough to run on a laptop.
So "physicists" have worked out a whole cosmology with angels dancing on the heads of pins here, when Dark Matter is as yet an unproven hypothesis. How many angels CAN dance on the head of a pin?
This is speculation, but notice the tone of the article; it's treated as "settled science". Much like Global Warming it may or may not have some validity but the people making money off science - the establishment - dare not say "well, we have no proof" so they simply act as if this is settled and they aren't just wasting donor and taxpayer dollars playing games on their laptops.
That's what passes for science these days. It is increasingly flights of fancy and not grounded in fact.
NASA claims to have found proof of Dark Matter; NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope allegedly found direct evidence. But there are still many people who don't believe the NASA data, and given what we know about NASA and their willingness to fudge data when it suits them it is wise to be skeptical.
According to the article:
"We detected gamma rays with a photon energy of 20 gigaelectronvolts (or 20 billion electronvolts, an extremely large amount of energy) extending in a halolike structure toward the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The gamma-ray emission component closely matches the shape expected from the dark matter halo," said Totani.
The observed energy spectrum, or range of gamma-ray emission intensities, matches the emission predicted from the annihilation of hypothetical WIMPs, with a mass approximately 500 times that of a proton. The frequency of WIMP annihilation estimated from the measured gamma-ray intensity also falls within the range of theoretical predictions.
Importantly, these gamma-ray measurements are not easily explained by other, more common astronomical phenomena or gamma-ray emissions. Therefore, Totani considers these data a strong indication of gamma-ray emission from dark matter, which has been sought for many years.
So based on a minute gamma ray emission 33,000 light years away we are to believe we have "proven" Dark Matter. I remember many other "discoveries" like the one saying neutrinos move faster than light, which wound up being measurement errors. Color me skeptical.
This is an old problem I might add - scientists pretending to more knowledge than they have. The problem the Pope had with Galileo, for instance,, was he was teaching Copernicanism as a fact, not a theory, and the Pope told him to just teach it as a theory, something the stubborn jackass Galileo refused to do (in fact he insulted Pope Urban VIII, who had been a friend to the old Gal and who was very favorably inclined towards Copernicanism by putting the Pope's arguments in the mouth of his character "Simplicio" aka the fool, in his Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems. Urban was said to be furious when learning about this. Urban was not just Galileo's boss (Galileo worked at a Catholic university) but was also his sovereign. Old Gal was arrested and tried, found guilty, and sentenced to house arrest - a very light sentence for the times. He could pretty much come and go as he pleased and even left town on at least one occasion.
The point is Galileo got lucky and was right, and ever since the assumption is always that any scientific idea is correct, lest we be accused of being like the Pope (who was not what they accused him of being at all). It's now at a point in science when the weirder and wackier a theory is the better. All the trans research is proof positive of that.
I think it is entirely possible in a hundred years scientists will shake their heads in befuddled amusement at the obsession with Dark Matter. But of course they will also have climate change and the dozens of "genders" and other stupidities that infect our modern era to laugh at.

There's one theoreticist who posits that the universe is not expanding at all, and that therefor we don't need the fiction of dark matter, but rather that distance changes the nature of light in some way that we don't understand. He calls it the "tired light" theory. It sounds as likely as the conventional one to me, actually more likely since it requires us simply to
not understand something rather than to
make some shit up to compensate for what we don't understand.

Agreed Bill. Until we have enough knowledge we should just say "we don't know". But science has become the new religion and priests are not supposed to say "we don't have the answer for you".
You may remember the whole fight over the position of the Earth relative to everything. I touched on Galileo above, but to flesh it out the standard model at the time with the Earth at the center of the universe had a real problem; the planets seemed to move backwards from time to time in what were called epicycles. Nobody could explain that. Copernicus' theory reduced the number of epicycles and explained some of them were illusions, but they were still there (which is why Copernicanism wasn't universally accepted at first). It was only accepted when Kepler discovered the planets move in ellipses. Elliptical orbits eliminated ALL epicycles and thus restored balance to the theory. The point is there were those on both sides who argued their case but neither side was declared definitive and they were open to new information leading to changes in their worldview. Now we slavishly follow dogma because a "concensus" of scientists say it is so.
When one multiplies errors the end result is more errors, and more, exotic ways to fix the system. The principle of Occham's Razor is ignored in favor of an ever-more-complex system that becomes more theological than scientific. I fear many of the things we now believe are at that point.

Sure! Like that's gonna happen. For one thing, Minnesota has a large border; it's not like, say, Arkansas. Or Connecticut. Or Delaware.
And you're gonna keep out "the people you don't want here?" Just who are they? You're already chock-full of Somalis, who are pretty undesirable. You want to block who, Ukranians? They don't seem terribly anxious to fill up the place anyhow. Russians? Chechnians? Swedes? I think you need to be more specific.
I'd be more favorably impressed if you said "Muslims." But since you're still letting in Somalis at a record pace, you can't be interested in blocking Muslims. So who, then?

I may be mistaken, but I think there's this pesky little thing called the "US Constitution" that might create a problem with that plan.

Bill, I'd say it's obvious that the people pushing this idea have no idea what the Constitution says about anything. Or that there even is a Constitution. Do you think I'm wrong?

Indeed they are Dana. Makes the media's job way harder since they can no longer put out a fake narrative so easily.

WHO Planning Rerun of Covid?
Timothy Birdnow
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
It's only January in an election year; what does that tell us? We'd better watch our backs or another "novel virus" may leak out of China or whatnot.
In October of2019 the Johns-Hopkins along with the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
ran a drill on the release of a "novel" Covid 2 virus and, well GOOOOLLLLLYYYY! One showed up a couple of months later. That virus led to the downfall of Donald Trump in no small part.

I'm betting that if "they" try to pull another pandemic on us. the citizens of our country will say "Oh no you don't!" We are well aware of the damage it caused: kids' education blown to shreds, businesses damaged beyond repair, things like that. Not to mention the damage that "vaccines" caused to people.
Bat-crazy liberals may go along with it -- heck, you see some people still wearing masks every day -- but normal people aren't going to go along with this again.

I don't know Dana; they voted the Democrats into office in every single special election since Trump won, so the public has very short memories. I wouldn't think the public would be that gullible but from what I'm seeing these days they just may be. So many people, including good Conservatives, are worked up about this Pretti shooting and calling for the Administration to back down on evicting these criminals.
They may not get as many folks on board as last time but all they need to do is peel off a few and the Dems win. We can't afford to lose any voters.
Yeah; I occasionally see masked people too. It amazes me the limits of human intelligence.

Thing is, the only ones among us who got the straight skinny on masks, pro and con, are the ones who went looking for it. Those of us who sat back and let "them" do it to us still think Dr. Fauci is an effing hero. The villains are the media, who could have told us the truth but didn't.

The Midwives of the Russian Collusion Hoax
Timothy Birdnow
Who leaked the FISA application over "Russian Collusion" to Buzzfeed?
The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) Security Director James Wolfe, that's who. But he appears to have been working in tandem with Senator and Committee Chair Mark Warner.
Warner is a frequent guest on Fox News Sunday, where he is treated with respect, respect the dirtbag does not deserve.
This is an deep dive into the timeline of events and can be a bit dry, and is lengthy, of course. But do read it all.
This is the kind of corruption in government that should never happen in the United States of America.

Journalist Plotted with Epstein to Hurt Trump
Timothy Birdnow
Jeffrey Epstein
plotted to take out Trump with journalist Michael Wolff back in 2016.
There are no laws preventing a journalist from plotting against someone, or even forcing them to tell the truth about things they report on, but it is galling ad the public should know about this. It's the only way to get the public to understand the media is the father of most lies in this country.
The media has clearly known all along that Epstein and Trump were not friendly but they lied about it anyway to damage Mr. Trump. They are vile.

Massachusetts to Restrict Right to Mobility
Timothy Birdnow
Notice the Orwellian naming of this bill "The Freedom to Move Act". It's whole purpose is to restrict freedom of movement.
I would argue it rather should be the Freedom to Move out of Massachusetts Act because that's what it will encourage.
The article states:
The bill also establishes advisory councils and requires state agencies, including the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, to factor VMT reduction into project development and funding decisions. In theory, this means greater emphasis on public transit, transit-oriented development, walking and biking infrastructure, and land-use policies designed to shorten commutes. Supporters emphasize that the legislation does not ban cars, restrict ownership, or mandate lifestyle changes. It simply provides a framework for offering residents more options.
This is the implementation of U.N. Agenda 21 on a statewide basis, no question. All of these things were in the U.N. document.
While there may not be direct taxation on those who drive more, there will be a series of unfortunate events that will act to defacto drive people out of cars and onto buses and bicycles and on foot. And once you get the framework in place you will get these "advisory boards" to then propose direct taxation on mileage and who could disagree once the precedent has been set for government involvement?
I've long argued Americans have a fundamental right to move about as they see fit, provided of course they do so on their own dime. See
my article on the right to mobility.
The first thing any tyrant has to do is restrict the People's right to mobility. You can't control what you can't catch. A mobile people can outrun you. Oh, I know that sounds a bit flippant but the fact remains if you can travel, if you can go places and the state cannot know where you are or what you are doing, if you can organize and plan and get things you need, you can oppose them. A top priority for the statist is to anchor people in place, or limit them so they can't thwart you.
That's what this has always been about, shepherding the public into corrals where they can be controlled. It's how you control a herd of cattle or sheep, after all.
God made us free on the Earth and what right do Liberals have to restrict that? While there is no right to move about expressly granted in the Constitution the Founders never thought so basic a concept would have to be formally written into it. The Tenth Amendment limits the power of state governments as well as the Federal government on so basic a matter. I would add the First Amendment which expressly states the public has the right to assemble peaceably would also be applicable. And let us not forget Privileges and Immunities Clause of Article IV which states:
"The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States."
This follows Article IV of the old Articles of Confederation which explicitly granted the right to travel. The framers of the Constitution thought it patently obvious so let it out of the latter document.
And a number of court rulings have made it plain this applies to the ability to travel where one pleases. We have had the circuit court ruling in Corfield v. Coryell, 6 Fed. Cas. 546 (1823), Paul v. Virginia, 75 U.S. 168 (1869) reinforced that.
The U.S. Supreme Court in Crandall v. Nevada, 73 U.S. 35 (1868) declared freedom of movement a fundamental right.
There were numerous other court rulings, although SCOTUS never made it a Federal issue. But that may have to change if leftist states begin restricting that right, which the Court has rules is a fundamental Constitutional right.
Of course the Left doesn't recognize rights as such; they are privileges granted by the State, not something granted by God.

"Damnit Janet"! Former Maine Gov. Busted in Epstein Files
Timothy Birdnow
Talk about stepping on your own wedding tackle!
If you look hard enough you will find almost every Democrat has some filthy little secret hiding under some rock, and "Damnit Janet" Mills prove the rule.
I get a kick out of this because the Democrats thought they had something on Trump and TDS drove them to destroy many of their own, who DID have fruitful relations with Jeffrey Epstein, even while Trump clearly had none.
I rather suspect Trump and Bondi knew this which is why they were being coy about the report. They laid a trap for the Democrats and the Donkeys fell right into it.

Power Outage in Ukraine
Timothy Birdnow
Major power outage in Kiev as the war has worn out the power grid in the Ukrainian capital.
Russia has been fighting a war of attrition and this is what that looks like. You degrade the enemy's infrastructure and systematically grind them down until they lose the will to keep fighting. Power outages in the bitter cold goes a long way towards that goal.
The U.S. military planned for wars of attrition throughout the Cold War. It was only the rise of China that made us switch tactics; there were too many people to win a war of attrition that would include China. So went went with a more German approach, a tactical war strategy.
Russia knows they have the resources and manpower to win a war of attrition so that has been their tactic all along. Such wars tend to be slow (which is also why the U.S. stopped them - political pressure made them impractical) and claims Russia is losing by so many in the media and government was always a crock; Russia was playing the long game all alone. See, they didn't just want to take territory, they wanted to make sure there was never any more resistance. The taking of Crimea taught them that it was foolish to just seize the territory, they had to make the Ukrainians know they were defeated. Until then there would continue to be resistance. So Putin and his generals took the longer road. In the end Ukraine will be so softened up they may well allow themselves to be annexed. People who suffer and lose a long war often have no spirit left. That is what Putin is trying to accomplish.
These power outages will go a long way to breaking the Ukrainian spirit.
I personally regret it but see no way for the Ukrainians to win. Their best bet was to accept a bad deal from their perspective. Zelensky has been blowing smoke up their collective backsides because he hoped NATO would get directly involved. He was looking at the way Churchill maneuvered Roosevelt into WWII, or the way Lloyd George did Wilson in WWI.
This didn't work out for a variety of reasons. The American People just didn't care about some war in Eastern Europe where we had no real national interest (unlike both world wars which directly impacted us). Biden was biding his time, slowly moving us deeper and deeper into the conflict, hoping to get the American People to get on board via the boiling frog effect. Trump didn't want any part of it though and his election saw the U.S. cut back on our role there. Of course the U.S. had all manner of national issues that the public was more concerned with and that was a part of why Trump was elected, to end the "forever wars". Ukraine's timing was bad from their perspective. If we hadn't had the fiasco of the "New World Order" wars in the Islamic world Americans may have been bored enough to support such a war with Russia. Of course many Americans have forgotten that little detail, those shiny little spheres of Uranium or plutonium. But nobody wanted to risk it when there were other fish to fry.
So Zelensky has been conspiring with the Euroweenies to find a way to drag NATO into the fray, but without the U.S. which is the only nation that counts in NATO, it wasn't going to happen. Germany or France weren't going to risk lives and treasure on their own. They wanted Big Daddy involved or they were out.
Putin understood all this which is why he's been fighting the way he has. And it will work one way or another.
Meanwhile both the Russian and Ukrainian peoples are being hardened by this, and that is a serious problem down the line. The war in Kosovo, for instance, hardened the Bosnian Albanians to the point where they actually took over the Sicilian Mafia and are now the most dangerous organized crime outfit in the world. The Russians were already almost as tough and now will be tougher, and the Ukrainians will probably join their ranks. This is the same reason why the post-antebellum West was full of outlaws and super tough lawmen; the Civil War had hardened so many people who came out with skills that were only useful in war or in crime. So many turned to crime as a result. In fact, the first American organized crime syndicate was not the Italian Mafia or the Irish mobs but was a group called the Cowboys, who were all over the West and who robbed and rustled and stole as they pleased. It was this bunch that shot it out with the Earp brothers at the O.K. Corral, for instance. All of these people were hardened by the war,
We'll see that in the future in eastern Europe.
At any rate I doubt this war can continue another year, one way or another. Zelensky should have cut a deal while he still was in a position to do so. Not sure if Russia will accept much from him now. He may well have lost his whole country. It's a crying shame.
