Let the courts rule in favor of the VP picking presidents from 2024 onward. Makes sense. This is too close to this one for major changes in the law and Constitutional questions. Particularly since it should be appealed all the way to SCOTUS. And for those conservatives who balk, tell them they can keep the Electoral College.
Proud Boys’ planned tactics from the man himself.

I suspect than many, if not most, of the disruptions attributed to Antifa this year were really Trump supporters who want violence. This post is from the leader of the “stand back, stand by” troops for Trump. Violence and conspiracies pushed by the right are nothing new. The test of our nation is how we deal with this mess.
Goodbye to 2020
I have been trying to find something positive in 2020, but the best I can come up with are Winston Churchill’s comments on his service in the Boer War.
“There are few things in life so exhilarating as having been fired upon without effect.”
World Exclusive: 1st Documentary Movie on 2020 Election Investigation—Who Is Stealing America?
The video makes a compelling story of the notion that China tampered with the 2020 election. You may want to read Wikipedia’s entry on the producer, The Epoch Times, to become aware of their bias.
The source makes no difference to me. The story the video tells is plausible and worthy of consideration for that reason.
Another reason for that drone strike
Reason: Distillers hit with fees
Early in the pandemic, we were short on many supplies. One of those was hand sanitizer.
Small, craft distilleries stepped up because we asked them to, making sanitizer instead of booze. The FDA then required them to denature the alcohol so people couldn’t drink the sanitizer and avoid paying sin taxes on booze. That meant that their equipment would be contaminated, requiring the replacement of plastic and rubber parts and chemical cleaning of metal parts at great expense.
Now, the FDA has billed each of these craft distilleries for over $14,000 to register as drug manufacturers.
And thanks for answering the call when we needed you, now pay up.
Senator Ben Sasse calls out Republicans about the Jan. 6 circus.
“Let’s be clear what is happening here: We have a bunch of ambitious politicians who think there’s a quick way to tap into the president’s populist base without doing any real, long-term damage,”
Pretty much on the money.
Britain leads the way?
AstraZeneca vaccine in April??
How did it happen that bureaucratically mired Great Britain is doing everything right and we are doing everything wrong?
Maybe it’s because they have the memory of what it is actually like to be at war.
Will we at least have the sense to follow as they show the way?
A couple of months ago, AstraZeneca was on track to be the first vaccine approved in the US, but then it had the misfortune to work better than expected, being more effective at a lower dose. Faced with this wonderful news, the FDA sent it back to Phase 3 testing, delaying it until April.
It is saving lives in Britain today.
Britain is prioritizing vaccination based on a straight maximum lives saved criteria. No favoritism, no politics, just saving lives.
The US, and Virginia in particular, is using the vaccine to pay off favored supporters and assuage white guilt, at the certain cost of tens of thousands of lives(many, of course, elderly Blacks)
Britain prioritizes first doses
As we discussed here, Britain is focusing on getting the first dose to as many possible as quickly as possible, rapidly reaching herd immunity and preventing serious outcomes for as many as possible as they go.
So, Britain is leading, will we at least have the brains to follow? What they are doing is going to work, and it is going to work very quickly. It will be clear by the beginning of February,maybe even sooner, that their fatalities and hospitalizations are plummeting.
At that point, will the FDA see the light, or will it insist on going down with its overcautious ship.
President Trump, if you are listening, it’s not too late for that drone strike.
Maybe some good will evolve from this tragic death.

The man was 41 with a wife and two young children. A terrible tragedy to be sure. Yet the fact that he was well known in his district as a Republican Congressman-elect might shift the fence sitters about the efficacy of the vaccine and the real dangers of COVID for all Americans. And until we get the vaccine mass distributed, precautions are critical.
Remember the big show about taming Kim and N. Korea?
Seems like Dear Leader (the N. Korean one) is more powerful than ever since Trump met him to cut deals. Apparently the “Mutual Admiration Society” meeting was “fruitful” 😇. Like the trade wars. And our GDP, trade deficit, and manufacturing output before COVID, but after paying a trillion or so in deficits to pay for tax cuts. At least Ivanka got trademarks and Dad got Chinese investment monies. So there is that.
Notice those gas prices?
Crude oil prices have fallen by almost a third since this time last year due to the reduced demand from the pandemic.
But gasoline at the pump in Tidewater is up by about $.45 per gallon, another wonderful gift from the “Green Lunatics” in the Northam administration and the Democrat majority in the General Assembly.
Part is from the higher statewide taxes(many hidden) and the rest is from the regional tax we pay here to pay for things we don’t get because all the state money goes to Northern Virginia
But not to worry, were it not for the pandemic dropping oil prices, we would be paying even more.
And they go up even more next year. Of course, if you live in an urban area and have no commute and never venture into the outdoors, I guess that’s no big deal.
