How Mike Johnson became Speaker
October 27, 2023
post photo preview

Many are calling the election of Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) as Speaker of the House of Representatives, a miracle. Others are calling it a nightmare, and will continue calling it a nightmare. These others fall into two categories. One expects no better of the socialist, anti-procreative, “woke” left. But the other side are the RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) and “the appropriators.” These are the sort of legislator who gets rich from the public weal. Until now, “appropriators” of both parties have fooled their constituents with ideological lip service. They’re not fooling anyone any more, it seems – and now the Republican “appropriators” suffered their greatest setback.

It began with a Continuing Resolution

It all began with a Continuing Resolution, which passed on September 30 – the end of the Fiscal Year. (Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., made a big show of delaying the proceedings with his fire-alarm stunt. The Justice Department, no doubt knowing that he did it for show, have charged him with a misdemeanor.) Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), Speaker of the House, was the architect of that Continuing Resolution. This made Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) furious – because McCarthy had promised he would do no such thing. That is why Gaetz and his allies ultimately let McCarthy become Speaker, by voting “Present” instead of for another name.

Gaetz had already threatened McCarthy with a Motion to Vacate the Chair if he broke any more of his promises. Now, Gaetz had to do it – and he did. The next day, Gaetz, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), six other Republicans – and 208 Democrats – voted “Aye” on the motion. McCarthy made a concession speech that sounded gentlemanly – but would turn out to be insincere.

Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.), Speaker pro tempore, recessed the House with a violent gavel stroke that almost chipped the dais. And for three weeks, McHenry would be a temporary presiding officer with no power other than to preside over the election of another Speaker.

A series of failures

Speculation – all vain – centered on a bid to make Donald J. Trump Speaker of the House. That would vest him with subpoena power, so he could strike back at his prosecutorial persecutors. But no one but a member of the House has ever become Speaker of the House. Many experts make a good argument that the Speaker must be a Member.

But Trump was one of three men who emerged as viable candidates for the job. The other two were Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Steve Scalise (R-La.), the Majority Leader. Trump endorsed Jordan – but Steve Scalise became first to win nomination. But within two days, he bowed out of the race. He knew he would not have the votes to prevail on the House floor.

After that, the House Republican Conference nominated Jordan. But then they held a test vote to see how many would commit to supporting Jordan on the House floor. Only 155 Members so voted. After that, a plot by RINOs to sabotage Jordan’s candidacy became apparent. What was not apparent was who was doing it, and exactly why.

Despite picking up some surprise endorsements, Jordan lost on the House floor. After first one, then a second, roll-call vote, Steve Bannon (Bannon’s War Room) charged that K Street lobbyists were actively working against Jordan. He based his charge on intelligence from his own operatives who overheard conversations in one of Washington’s favorite “power restaurants.” Jordan lost the third round, and the Conference withdrew its nomination.

First Tom Emmer – and then Mike Johnson

Over the next few days, another round of declarations took place. On Tuesday (October 24), Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), Majority Whip, won the nomination. And that, from the point of view of K Street and the “appropriators,” is when things started to go wrong.

Donald Trump angrily posted to Truth Social to tell the Conferees not to support Tom Emmer on the floor. That might, or might not, have been the catalyst. Even before Trump made that post, twenty-six Republicans already had lined up to oppose Emmer.

https://twitter.com/TheCalvinCooli1/status/1716878615919669714

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) put in her two cents seventeen minutes after that:

https://twitter.com/realannapaulina/status/1716883229322719673

Then the first “buzz” started about Mike Johnson winning the nomination. Mike Johnson had in fact come in second to Tom Emmer after five ballots by noon that day.

https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716887973554499939

This much Jake Sherman, who had to stay outside the meeting room, knew. At 4:00 p.m. EDT, the Conference met again, in the Longworth House Office Building. Twenty-two minutes into the meeting, Emmer stormed out, without saying a word.

https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716913278356774924

So once again the Conference took declarations of candidacy. At 8:00 p.m. EDT they started to vote again. After three ballots, Mike Johnson won the nomination. But 43 Republicans cast write-in votes on that third ballot, after 34 had voted against him in the second. Nevertheless, he had a majority – but would the support stick with him?

It did. Incredibly Mike Johnson won the floor vote, with the entire Conference, except one absent member, voting for him.

How Mike Johnson did it

After the vote, Nancy Mace shared this post on X, congratulating Mike Johnson on his election. She also shared credit with Gaetz and the other six “Aye” votes on the Motion to Vacate, for this outcome.

https://twitter.com/RepNancyMace/status/1717238665305301319

Rep. Gaetz told Steve Bannon how that marathon nomination session had gone, on the morning before the floor vote. Today, Nancy Mace revealed more. The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft published two articles quoting these interviews, one for Gaetz, the other for Mace. Their Rumble channel also carried excerpts from those interviews:

https://rumble.com/embed/v3p08ky/?pub=4teej

https://rumble.com/embed/v3p8gfs/?pub=4teej

Matt Gaetz revealed first what some had suspected. The K Street lobbyists definitely sabotaged Jordan – but not Jordan alone! Nor, says Gaetz, were they acting on their own initiative. Kevin McCarthy was trying to reclaim the Speakership the whole time. Nancy Mace would confirm that the next day. She said this to Steve Bannon:

This thing didn’t need to last through three weeks. So the first thing that McCarthy and his allies did was prolong it and delay it and recess us and adjourn us every time they possibly could to drag this thing out and make it as painful as possible. For the eight of us who held the line and kicked McCarthy out of the speakership, that’s number one. Number two, there was a concerted and orchestrated effort at the hand of McCarthy that every time someone ascended, they got knifed in the back, including America’s favorite Republican congressman in Jim Jordan. I mean, our conference couldn’t even elect the best and favorite congressman in this country, Jim Jordan, because of what McCarthy and his allies were doing behind the scenes and orchestrating his failure.

And that of Steve Scalise. But Tom Emmer was never a sincere candidate, but was in fact McCarthy’s decoy. Matt Gaetz provided far greater detail:

The chapter of this that was dispositive, the crescendo, begins as Tom Emmer is withdrawing from the race [October 24]. I told Emmer on Sunday that he was not going to get there – that he was going to move like a hot knife through butter through the first 80 percent of the Conference. But … there was going to be a series of votes that were never going to be there for him. He wanted to run through it. I said, “Tom, here’s the deal. You can have your own way, but when you get to that last group that will not support you, you cannot drag this on for days, you cannot drag this on for weeks, you cannot play into what Kevin McCarthy was working the whole time, to get people to believe that the only person who could govern the Republican Conference was Kevin McCarthy.” So Emmer agrees that he’s going to have his shot, but it’s going to be quick.

It was quick, all right – about four hours and twenty minutes, give or take ten. And then:

We get that through the Gestation system early yesterday. So as Emmer is withdrawing, Mark Molinaro, a moderate New York freshman Republican, stands up at the microphone and says, well, instead of restarting this process and having a candidate forum and sending everybody home for a good cry, let’s just take a non binding poll on where people would be on the person who came in second to Tom Emmer, and that was Mike Johnson. And Elise Stefanik said, well, that’s against the rules. The rules don’t contemplate it. We can’t do that.
And brilliantly Mark Molinaro says, then I move for unanimous consent that the rules be [suspended], and we take a poll on whether or not Mike Johnson could be our Speaker nominee.

That explains this post by Jake Sherman:

https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716918257184362522

But wait!

And guess who objects to that unanimous consent request? — Kevin McCarthy! Kevin McCarthy stands up and says, I object to doing a roll call on Mike Johnson.

And when he did that, he gave the game away:

And Mike Johnson was exasperated. All the times Johnson had voted for McCarthy, had carried his water, maybe even voted for some bills he didn’t like because he was working toward the Republican conference’s stated objectives under McCarthy. And here was the thing — It showed everyone that it was actually McCarthy who was working to knife Scalise. It was actually McCarthy who was working to knife Jim Jordan. It was McCarthy working to knife everyone, and he hadn’t yet figured out a way to knife Mike Johnson. And so he was worried that there was going to be this great unifying moment, and he scuttled the unifying moment.

So what next?

So because of McCarthy’s objection, we had to have this three hour delay, and candidates announce again, have another forum. And guess what happens during that delay, Steve? Patrick McHenry runs to the House floor, opens it up out of recess, and then adjourns till noon today [October 25]. Now, why did he do that? Because they were setting up a play to block Mike Johnson with write in votes in the intra-conference process for Kevin McCarthy.
They were promising people hearings on their favorite legislation, passage of bills. I heard people promised, oh, maybe you’ll get a chairmanship. And the play was for McCarthy to return as speaker and then Jim Jordan to be the deputy speaker in some sort of way, like, Dwight Schrute assistant to the regional manager posture. And that would have been debasing to Jordan, someone I like a great deal, and it would have been empowering to McCarthy.

Dwight Schrute is a fictional character on the television series The Office. He is the typical Number Two trying to become Number One through dutiful service.

Gaetz went on:

So Garrett Graves and all these people are working to try to effectuate this return of McCarthy, and they’re telling us they’re going to be a hundred votes for McCarthy on the write in. You know how many there were? Thirty-three on the first write in. So they flame out terribly. Mike Johnson’s gaining momentum.

That explains these three posts by Sherman:

https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716990896451829883

https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716991382772977981

https://twitter.com/JakeSherman/status/1716992320870961465

Wrapping it up

Gaetz then delivered this rousing finish:

Ultimately, McCarthy gets forty-three to vote for him on a secret ballot, but Mike Johnson gets a majority. And then he [Mike Johnson] says, “You know what I want? I want a roll call vote.” So that those forty-three would have to announce themselves as being for a candidate who wasn’t even running instead of a unifying force like Mike Johnson. And when we called for the roll call. Do you know how many people voted for Kevin McCarthy? ZERO!
So he went from promising a hundred votes, to delivering forty-three, to ZERO willing to vote for him! And everyone in the room knew at that moment that I wasn’t the force for chaos. I wasn’t causing disunity that for the last three weeks. The reason the House of Representatives has been paralyzed is because for his own selfish gain, Kevin McCarthy was sabotaging the candidacy of anyone else because he was plotting a return. And we stopped it.
And in the place of Kevin McCarthy, we get a Bayou, Louisiana mike Johnson, a brilliant Constitutional attorney.

That explains why Tom Emmer loudly, and manfully, cast his vote for Johnson on the House floor.

But Nancy Mace revealed something else in her interview with Steve Bannon. Namely that several times in the last week, Kevin McCarthy was “having melt-downs” and screaming at people. Let the reader picture this: a former Speaker of the House of Representatives was ranting and raving and screaming at the top of his lungs at those who he perceived as obstructing him. She also said that she received at least four threats on her life – how credible, she would not say. (Nor would she speculate on whom she suspected of making the threats.)

Obviously K Street has lost, and lost heavily. We also know why Mike Johnson commanded the unanimous support of the House Republican Conference. He dared put his fellow Conferees on the spot – but by then, most of them wanted nothing more to do with McCarthy or his schemes. Nancy Mace’ testimony about his ranting and raving and screaming at the top of his lungs, lends further proof.

This also shows that Mike Johnson is a bolder and more powerful advocate than most would give him credit for. In fact he’s been known to provoke a fellow member – Delegate Stacy Plaskett (D-U.S.V.I.) to unprofessional conduct.

https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1641444051164741637

Del. Plaskett was brazen enough to quote-post the video – and presumably stand by her conduct.

https://twitter.com/StaceyPlaskett/status/1641502868598411264

Which didn’t go over very well.

Onward and upward

The Democrats are clearly not happy with this outcome – but no one can expect them to be. But the RINO contingent will still be dangerous. So perhaps Mike Johnson should take this advice:

Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.

Kamala Harris campaign dying

The Kamala Harris campaign is gasping for breath, as a critical-care patient does shortly before dying. Even one of Donald J. Trump’s most vicious detractors among evangelical or “born-again Christians” will no longer deny the signs. At the same time, two other Christian apologists have discovered that tens of millions of self-identifying Christians do not even plan to vote, and are asking them to reconsider.

Extinctionism – older than you think

Elon Musk occasionally likes to highlight a particular person or issue that concerns him, by posting about it on X. With one hundred fifty-nine million followers, he can make that person or issue “go viral” with a single post. Today he left two posts, on a subject that has concerned him for well over a year: extinctionism. Indeed he went so far as to say that extinctionism is the real ideological threat to humanity.

Extinctionism – what is it, and who actively propounds it?

Extinctionism means seeking the extinction of the human race. Even that concept, as extreme as it sounds, encompasses a broad spectrum of ways to achieve that end. Elon Musk highlighted one of them in his two posts:

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1710394306572251409

Les U. Knight founded the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement, abbreviated VHEMT (pronounced Vehement, “because that’s what we are,” says Knight.) Its method is simple: let all human beings abstain from reproduction. Thus the human race would die off by simple attrition. If everyone adopted that ...

The Obama Conspiracy

The past week and a half have seen some astonishing activity in our nation’s capital. This activity rivals the Dobbs Decision, and the Great Leak that preceded it, for its shock value alone. Evidently, then-President Barack Obama convened a meeting of top intelligence advisers after the Election of 2016. At that meeting, he told them: “Make it look as though Donald Trump had Russian help in gimmicking the election.” Today we have more than what Obama and his supporters have dismissed as unfounded speculation. We have the minutes of that meeting, after Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, declassified them – and much else. This shows that Barack Obama, unhappy with the election result, engineered a deliberate effort to undermine his successor. That effort has continued from that day to this. Trump knows it – and has threatened Obama with arrest. For America’s sake, now he must carry that threat out.

Why would Obama do such a thing?

Barack Obama would do such a thing for the same reason he spoke of “fundamentally transform[ing] the United States.” As his memoir Dreams of My Father makes clear, he despises America and everything for which it stands. He dismisses the Constitution as “a charter of negative liberties,” making clear that citizens should have allowances, not rights. He would dispense those allowances as he saw fit – and cheerfully negate the rights of anyone standing in his way.

The Obama story might involve more than this. Hillary Clinton’s infamous private email server might have evidence implicating him in more crimes. Or might have had such evidence, until Hillary destroyed her server with the Bleachbit reformatting program. But did Hillary “get it all”? Maybe – or maybe not.

As may be, Barack Obama very much wanted Hillary Clinton to win the Election of 2016. When she did not, he took greater alarm than she took. And that’s saying something! Rumors at the time had her receiving the news of her defeat while in a hotel ballroom with tables laid out for her victory banquet – and proceeding to pull food, plates, utensils, and everything else off those banquet tables, by seizing tablecloth corners and pulling with all her frenzied might. Whether this happened or not, one thing definitely did. She withdrew from public view and did not come out until 11:00 a.m. Wednesday morning.

Release of the Obama scandal documents

On or about Wednesday, July 16, investigative reporter Paul Sperry revealed a meeting of “Trump administration officials,” held July 13. “New information on Russiagate” (the notion that Trump was a Russian asset) headed the meeting’s agenda. Sperry mentioned a December 2016 meeting of intelligence agency heads and seconds-in-command, the “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation, and the “Steele Dossier.” He also mentioned Hillary Clinton’s private server, and what now is called the “Clinton Annex,” showing that Hillary, as far back as July 2016, sought to frame Trump as a Russian asset.

Worth remembering now is that Vladimir Putin, the effective head of Russia, cut short an overseas trip that summer. Upon his return to Moscow, he issued a ukase ordering his people to arm themselves.

Two days later, Tulsi Gabbard, as DNI, declassified key “smoking guns,” exactly as Sperry predicted. These include a detailed time line in the form of a memorandum with this subject:

Intelligence Community suppression of intelligence showing “Russian and criminal actors did not impact” the 2016 presidential election via cyber-attacks on infrastructure.

Five bullet points, from August 31 through October 7, 2016, make one thing clear. No one had any evidence that Russians planned to alter reported vote counts in the upcoming election. An Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on September 12 stated in part:

The report finds “foreign adversaries do not have and will probably not obtain the capabilities to successfully execute widespread and undetected cyber attacks” on election infrastructure.

On October 7 came a brief mention that the FBI and the National Security Agency had “low confidence” that Russians had hacked the Democratic National and Congressional Campaign Committees.

The election blew up everything

Then came the election. To be sure, the results surprised everyone. Trump shocked the world by carrying Pennsylvania, of all States. That State alone gave Trump momentum he would never lose. He carried it by carrying every Pennsylvania county outside the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh television markets.

Then came these key events in December of 2016. On December 7, then-DNI James Clapper was ready to conclude that:

“Foreign adversaries did not use cyberattacks on election infrastructure to alter the US Presidential election outcome.”
“We have no evidence of cyber manipulation of election infrastructure intended to alter results.”

Intelligence officers were still planning to say that on December 8. But then, FBI Director James Comey took his name off the memo and said he would write a dissenting memo. Late that afternoon, the DNI buried the “Presidential Daily Brief” saying there was nothing to the Russia story.

Then on December 9, Ambassador Susan Rice convened ranking Cabinet officials in the Situation Room for an emergency meeting.

James Clapper, John Brennan, Susan Rice, John Kerry, Brian McKeon, Loretta Lynch, Andrew McCabe, and Avril Haines are among those in attendance.

X account DeepFakeQuotes has a video presentation describing that meeting.

The Meeting That Changed Everything – Dec 9, 2016
Two days after intel said no foreign actor changed the 2016 election, Obama met with his top officials.
What followed? A reversal. A dossier. A soft coup.
The documents are declassified.
The evidence is real.
The republic was targeted from within.

https://x.com/DeepFakeQuote/status/1946654472522064294

The minutes say definitely that “Moscow used [certain] tools” and “took [certain] actions” to affect the outcome of the election. They speak of asking, not whether Russia influenced the election, but how and why. In sum, those setting the agenda had by then made up their minds to accuse Russia of election interference.

That very day, intelligence officials, speaking as “Senior Administration Officials” and “Persons Familiar With The Situation,” dropped hints to The Washington Post accusing Russia of gimmicking the election – and Trump of benefiting from that.

Assertion of facts not in evidence

One of those “hints” says the CIA had “concluded in a secret assessment that Russia intervened” in the election. But the CIA had made no such determination – at least, not yet. Five days later (December 14), intelligence officials were openly accusing Vladimir Putin of active and “personal… involve[ment]” in altering the election.

Two days later, Obama himself spun the scenario, as follows:

What I was concerned about in particular was making sure that [Wikileaks/Clinton emails] wasn’t compounded by potential hacking that could hamper vote counting and affect the actual election process itself. And so in early September, when I saw President Putin in China, I felt that the most effective way to ensure that, that didn’t happen was to talk to him directly. And tell him to cut it out.

Cut what out? Obama had to admit he had no “evidence” that Russian operatives gimmicked actual voting scanner-tabulators.

Later that month, someone, now a “whistleblower” to the ODNI, “question[ed] his leadership” about the sudden change in tune. The results of that, including “sidelining” and pressures to “go along to get along,” were entirely predictable.

Director Gabbard described all this in a lengthy X thread, using the strongest language short of profanity or obscenity.

🧵 Americans will finally learn the truth about how in 2016, intelligence was politicized and weaponized by the most powerful people in the Obama Administration to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump, subverting the will of the American people and undermining our democratic republic. Here’s how:

https://x.com/DNIGabbard/status/1946271402971312514

Among other phrases Gabbard used was the phrase treasonous conspiracy.

The Democrats began doubling down on their Russia, Russia Russia story immediately. Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), Ranking Member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, issued this angry attempt at rebuttal:

It seems DNI Gabbard is unaware that the years-long Russia investigation carried out by the Senate Intelligence Committee reaffirmed that ‘the Russian government directed extensive activity against U.S. election infrastructure’ ahead of the 2016 election, and that it ‘used social media to conduct an information warfare campaign’ in order to benefit Donald Trump. This conclusion was supported on a unanimous basis by every single Democrat and Republican on the committee. (1/2)
It is sadly not surprising that DNI Gabbard, who promised to depoliticize the intelligence community, is once again weaponizing her position to amplify the president’s election conspiracy theories. It is appalling to hear DNI Gabbard accuse her own IC workforce of committing a ‘treasonous conspiracy’ when she was unwilling to label Edward Snowden a traitor. (2/2)

https://x.com/MarkWarner/status/1946322743042998684

https://x.com/MarkWarner/status/1946322744565784854

Never mind that this committee worked with material from the Obama CIA. Reaction to his posts was almost uniformly negative. That reaction included reminders that Sen. Warner has his own scandal involving communication with a Russian oligarch.

Further releases

Yesterday the Justice Department received from Gabbard a formal referral of Obama for criminal prosecution. Also yesterday, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, released his own report – the “Clinton Annex.”

I’m making “Clinton annex” public today so the American people have all the facts. Sen. [Ron] Johnson [R-Wisc.] & I have requested this document’s declassification together since 2020 & Pres Trump/Pam Bondi/Kash Patel + others finally got it done. Thanks for your dedication to transparency.

https://x.com/ChuckGrassley/status/1947324460983296172

Here are the press release, to which Sen. Grassley shared the link, and the Clinton Annex.

According to it, the FBI had all the evidence it would have needed for a criminal investigation. And they didn’t even start one.

From lawyer Julie Kelly comes this excerpt – alleging credibly that Obama’s email was hacked.

NEW: According to just released declassified annex to DOJ OIG report on Hillary Clinton email investigation, Barack Obama's email were hacked and the FBI was aware.

https://x.com/julie_kelly2/status/1947332087196868982

Trump has been trolling Obama and his defenders mercilessly since the first revelations came out. For instance, this video contains a montage of every Democrat who said, “No one is above the law.” It ends with a generated clip showing FBI agents entering the Oval Office, during a “photo-op” session between Trump and Obama, and arresting Obama.

https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114887992924632896

Similarly he shared this video of Tulsi Gabbard’s interview with Maria Bartiromo on Fox’ Sunday Morning Futures:

https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114888219088263084

Then consider these two posts:

HOW DID SAMANTHA POWER MAKE ALL OF THAT MONEY???

https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114888263063561606

Obama himself manufactured the Russia, Russia, Russia HOAX. Crooked Hillary, Sleepy Joe, and numerous others participated in this, THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY!. Irrefutable EVIDENCE. A major threat to our Country!!!

https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114893984552850709

Finally, Mike Davis, head of the Article III Project, insists that Presidential immunity cannot cover Barack Obama for these deeds. The reason: Obama has continued the conspiracy even today, long after leaving office.

https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1947342358170796352

Analysis

The President is head of his Party, and that was certainly true of Barack Obama. As the head, Obama took the Democratic Party into banana-republic territory, long before the Mar-A-Lago Raid. Tulsi Gabbard has now released definitive proof that Obama was behind the abrupt change of tune by the intelligence community regarding Russian “interference” in American elections.

Wayne Allen Root, Assistant Editor of The Gateway Pundit, flatly accuses Obama of all the above, and much more. Root’s allegations seem to go far afield, but they do require investigation. They include weaponization of the IRS and the beginning of the Great Immigration Flood. Root also lays the questionable results of the Election of 2020 at Obama’s feet – and even accuses him of arranging with the Chinese to infect the country with coronavirus. Then after Biden became President, Obama actually ran the Biden White House, through his agents.

Then Root asks:

Now the question is does the Trump DOJ have the [gonadal fortitude] to do what needs to be done? This is the biggest criminal conspiracy in U.S. history. This is a treason case. And this is either a death penalty case, or life in Gitmo.

Certainly what DNI Gabbard and Senator Grassley have released, is damning enough of Obama. Furthermore, anyone who defends him the way Senator Warner did, convicts himself of ignorance – or collusion.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has a chance to redeem herself after her Epstein Files blunders. Obviously, prosecuting a former President for an extension of his conduct in office does not make for a happy situation. But Democrats started it with their specious cases against Trump. This case is anything but specious. That’s worth remembering next year – at Midterms.

Measurement and American patriotism

In the fiery debate on American patriotism and exceptionalism, American patriots have missed one vital element – measurement. Most of those who talk about measurement, lament that ours is one of the few countries left that still uses ancient units of measurement that do not relate to one other in “clean,” powers-of-ten ratios. In short, only in the laboratory (and not always at the drugstore) does any American use “the metric system.” Nor is this for lack of effort by its proponents to cram it down Americans’ throats. But to make any coherent defense of our American system of measurement (other than “we grew up with it, so why change”, one must understand where those ancient units came from. Once one does, one realizes that those ancient units are the only units that relate reliably to regular human experience. And that alone makes them worth keeping.

Measurement began with human anatomy and physiology

Any system of measurement requires a standard so that everyone understands what a given unit means. When human beings first started measuring things, they used themselves as the standard of measurement. Or if that didn’t make sense, they used something in common human experience, like water.

The United States Customary System of Units uses most of those ancient units of measurement, plus some not-so-ancient. In fact many of those units are as ancient as the Roman Empire, or more ancient than that. Admittedly, humans have stopped using at least two: the cubit (from elbow to middle fingertip) and the span (from thumb to little finger on a stretched-out hand). But the inch (breadth of the nose), foot (length of the foot), and yard (from nose to fingertip of the outstretched hand) are still part of the U.S. Customary system. So is the fathom, or length of an anchor rode between two outstretched hands – six feet.

This system contains many other units of length, most of which have fallen out of use. (Examples: link, rod, chain, furlong.) But we still use the mile, which is a thousand paces on the march. And some might have heard of the league, though they never learned what it meant. A league is an hour’s march in full infantry kit. The standard speed on the march is three miles per hour, so one league is three miles.

The beauty of these units

All these units of length have one thing in common. They relate to the human experience. That makes them absurdly easy to use. Want to know how long is the boundary between your yard and your neighbor’s? Step it off. If you’re in a boat and want to know how deep the water is, drop a lead weight attached to a length of rope, then pull it in by stretching it between your arms. The number of times you do that, is the number of fathoms.

Obviously one doesn’t convert from one length unit to another by multiplying by a power of ten. But one doesn’t have to. All that matters is using the unit appropriate to the activity.

Units of area have a similar derivation, as do the units of liquid capacity. The units of weight initially derived from the units of liquid capacity – one pint of water weighed one pound. Sadly, that’s no longer true – different “prototypes” changed sizes too often. Also, in the ancient world, weight and mass meant the same. Not until Sir Isaac Newton would anyone even think of going to a place where a one-pound mass weighed less. Or, for that matter, more.

Temperature had a similar connection to human experience. Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit famously defined zero as the freezing point of saturated ammonium chloride brine. His high point was 96 degrees – his estimate of normal body temperature. So now you know why, when temperature drops “below zero,” salting the roads is useless.

Vive la révolution!

Then came the French Revolution – the first great excuse to abolish human anatomy and experience as a standard of measurement. European kings had, to be sure, laid the groundwork for this change. A new king would redefine the foot as the length of his own foot. The infamous Asymmetrical Ship shows what can happen: halfway through its building, the king was dead, long lived the king, and the foot changed. Needless to say, that ship was never seaworthy.

The French Revolutionists wanted to get away from all things royal. In the process, Joseph Lagrange and his Revolutionary Committee on Weights and Measures also broke away from human experience. They invented the metric system, or at least the first version of it, and the forerunner of Système International d’Unités – International System of Units, which we abbreviate SI.

The meter would be one-ten-millionth of a quarter-meridian of Earth. All other units of length would be powers-of-ten of this unit. To form the names, the Committee ordered affixing Latin prefixes for shortening, and Greek prefixes for lengthening. So the units of short distance would be the decimeter, the centimeter, and the millimeter. The unit of long distance became the kilometer, or one thousand meters.

How does any of this relate to human experience? It doesn’t. The meter is longer than anyone’s arm – unless that person is an acromegalic. And the kilometer bears no relationship to how fast one walks, on the march or otherwise.

Derivation of other metric units of measurement

Similarly, Lagrange’s Committee derived units of liquid capacity and mass from the meter, using pure water as the standard. One cubic decimeter (one-tenth meter) became the liter, the base unit of liquid capacity. The Committee defined the gram as the mass of one milliliter of pure water.

But not at any temperature! Anders Celsius, in 1742, had proposed his own centigrade temperature scale. It went from 100 (the freezing point of pure water) to zero (the boiling point of pure water). The French physicist Jean-Pierre Christin inverted this scale to produce the Celsius scale we know today. Water is at its most dense at four degrees Celsius. So a milliliter of water at that temperature became the standard for a gram of mass. So said Joseph Lagrange’s Committee.

Again, none of this relates to the human experience. True, Fahrenheit’s scale now has a redefinition, but at least Fahrenheit tried to define his scale in relation to human experience. Neither Celsius nor his successors can make the same claim.

One quantity of which no one has successfully substituted a new unit, is time. Humans everywhere still use the second and all its multiples, with ratios dating back to ancient Babylon. Emperor Napoleon tried to change to a decimal unit of time – and faced armed rebellion as a result. No serious effort at time conversion has occurred since.

Further distancing from human experience: redefinition

The United Nations General Convention on Weights and Measures, in 2019, made matters worse. Originally, SI had seven base quantities for defining everything, with definitions that made some sense. Furthermore, these definitions had a traceable history, and one could understand the need for a redefinition.

So for decades the units of time, length, mass, temperature, electric current, amount-of-substance, and luminous intensity had common-sense definitions. But that wasn’t good enough for the keepers of SI. That held especially for the unit of mass – the kilogram – then the only unit defined in terms of an artifact. But they also felt that way about the other units, except perhaps the unit of time (the second).

So in 2019 this UN body replaced seven units with seven constants, which now are defined constants. They are the:

  1. Hyperfine transition frequency of cesium-113,

  2. Speed of light in a vacuum,

  3. Planck Constant,

  4. Boltzmann Constant,

  5. Elementary charge,

  6. Avogadro Number of elementary entities, and

  7. Luminous efficacy at a frequency of 540 tera-Hertz.

Behold! This Convention finishes the job of Lagrange’s Revolutionary Committee. They have utterly divorced our units of measurement from any semblance of human experience. True, they did it to “future-proof” their definitions. But they make no attempt to tell us where the original definitions came from. Given that, these definitions, such as they are, are purely arbitrary.

Why doesn’t America use the metric system – yet?

YouTube influencer Joe Scott publishes this history of attempts to “metricate” the United States. This and other sources reveal an interesting sequence of events.

In 1793, Joseph Dombey traveled to France and acquired a standard kilogram. But pirates seized his ship, took him hostage (he died as a hostage), and apparently destroyed his artifact. Five years later, the United States almost went to war with France. Even the effort in 1832 to establish a uniform system of measurement, failed.

1875 saw a new effort to “metricate” the United States. The only practical result has been the complete switch to the metric system (actually SI) in research laboratories. A few industries (like food and beverages) will sell their products in metric quantities. Toolmakers offer either metric or “English” tools. But never once has anyone made conversion to the metric system compulsory. For that reason, only one major highway in the United States (Interstate Highway 19 between Nogales and Tucson, Ariz., stretching for 102 kilometers) has metric distances throughout its length.

One cannot explain this in terns of American exceptionalism, because until today, no one has consistently defended U.S. Customary units on that ground. Perhaps one can make allowance for simple “cultural inertia” – not wanting to change the units one has lived with. But why did the French embrace Lagrange’s new system so readily? Revolutionary fervor?

Perhaps. But perhaps the real reason why metrication remains incomplete in America is … supernatural.

American measurement and American patriotism

Today, CNAV will be the first to defend the American measurement system on grounds of American patriotism.

Human beings have no reason to insist on having only one unit of length, mass, or liquid capacity. Multiplying these base units by powers of ten doesn’t change them. The metric system, and its current variant (SI) have one base unit each for length, mass, and liquid capacity. Everything else depends on these three.

Tellingly, this is not true of units of time. Humans still measure time in minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years, as appropriate to the application. Nor does the one-unit rule hold for length in absolutely all applications. Astronomers do not measure stellar or even planetary distances uniformly in multiples of the meter. They use other units that, again, reflect the experience of the application. These are the:

  • Astronomical unit (semi-major axis of the orbit of Earth around the Sun),

  • Light-year (the distance that light travels in a year), and

  • Parsec (Parallax of one second, or the cotangent of one second of arc, multiplied by an astronomical unit).

An American patriotic system of measurement would retain these units – while also retaining miles, yards, feet, and inches.

Extending the American Patriotic System

At present, the American Patriotic System would still be incomplete. It would retain three units from what some call the Gravitational English System. They are the second, the foot, and the slug, or that mass that accelerates by one foot per second squared when pushed or pulled by a force of one pound. It would also retain the Rankine, or the unit of absolute or “thermodynamic” temperature equivalent to a Fahrenheit degree.

But it would need three more units – of electric current, amount-of-substance, and luminous intensity – to be complete and coherent. (Coherency means deriving one unit, other than a base unit, from others with ratios of one.) To arrive at that, one must revisit the original definitions of the SI units of these quantities. For instance, one mole of a substance was its molecular (or formula) mass expressed in grams. Substituting the dram (slightly heavier than the gram) will require recalculating Avogadro’s Number to make it fit.

Similarly, before 2019, SI defined the ampere in terms of meters and newtons (the SI unit of force). A “patriotic” unit of electric current would start with a definition in terms of feet and pounds-of-force instead. (Call it the franklin, after Benjamin Franklin.) One would need a similar accommodation to arrive at a “patriotic” unit of luminous intensity. (Call that the patriotic candle.)

Conclusion

In 2016, and again in 2024, Americans elected a President who believed in America as an exceptional country. If Americans are going to embrace their exceptionalism, then they should embrace it in every context that could possibly matter. That the United States has never managed to switch measurement systems in more than two centuries, cannot be an accident. That’s one reason to retain, and expand, the system of measurement that has served us well for those two centuries.

The use of ratios other than powers of ten to convert between and among different applications is not a good reason to abandon the American system. If decimal conversion is so important, why do astronomers still measure stellar and planetary distances in astronomical units, light-years, and parsecs? The answer is that the choice of conversion ratios is far less important than is their consistency within the system. Abandoning decimal-power ratios is a small price to pay to retain appropriateness of various units in various applications. Put another way: is it worth remembering that 5,280 feet make a mile to retain a definition of a mile as a thousand human paces? Yes.

At a minimum, President Trump should resist, roll back, and cancel any further attempt at metrication of the American people. And at maximum, the President should consider extending an American Patriotic Measurement System to all quantities, not merely time, length, mass, temperature, and their derivatives.

Elon Musk and his third party

Elon Musk has packed up his marbles and gone home – or some might say he’s lost his marbles. Over last weekend, he announced the formation of a new party – a third party. He calls it the America Party, and insists it will be a centrist party. In fact his plan clearly is to help Democrats “flip” the House and Senate. That’s his plan – but he very likely cannot carry that plan out. Or at least, the Republicans don’t have to let him.

Elon Musk new party announcement almost lost in the news cycle

As it happened, only through his stubbornness are we still talking about Musk or his new Party. On the very weekend in which he made his announcement, devastating floods struck the Texas Hill Country. More than 100 people are dead, and, at least in Kerr County, Texas, the rest are too busy even to think about politics. (Those that are thinking about politics, are mainly expressing bitter resentment at non-Hill-Country residents making callous observations about how they vote, and sharing highly dubious theories as to the ultimate causes of the floods.)

Let us close the curtain of charity on the rest of the scene.

Samuel L. Clemens

But Musk managed to keep his new Party in the news, after President Donald Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino blew the announcement about the Epstein Files. No one but Georgia Ostrich Erick-Woods Erickson can possibly believe that there was never anything to see in those files. The defensive attitude of all four officials has given Elon Musk all the excuse he needs to accuse anyone close to Trump who pooh-poohs his new Party of bearing guilty mention in those files.

(CNAV believes that the same people who had Epstein murdered in his cell, destroyed the files. But Jim Hoft and Wayne Allen Root at The Gateway Pundit have their own investigation open. So has every prominent conservative YouTube influencer.)

What does the America Party resemble and for what does it stand?

Eric L. Daugherty of Florida Voice News broke the story last Saturday.

🚨 BREAKING - IT’S OFFICIAL: Elon Musk creates the “America Party” following conclusion of his poll on X.
“Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.”
“When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy.”

https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1941585595488403861

Mark Mitchell at Rasmussen Reports noted immediately that Musk’s “poll” was unscientific. He didn’t even vet his sample to exclude noncitizens, nonresidents, and unlikely voters in American elections. (Like all social media, X has an international user base.)

From the start, Musk hints that his Party will field candidates in a select number of close races.

🚨 BREAKING: Elon Musk announces his new "America Party" will be "extremely concentrated force at a precise location on the battlefield." This could mean Elon plans to field candidates and pour funds only into very specific districts/races.

https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1941616303896191052

In other words, spoilers. Lately, Musk has disclaimed any plans to field a candidate for President in 2028.

🚨 BREAKING: Elon Musk suggests his new America Party will not back a candidate for president in 2028, avoiding potential electoral disaster for Republicans in swing states.
The post from Scott Adams, shared by Musk, further predicts Musk will target specific congressmen or senators, which could give the GOP a way to "get past politics to solutions the country wants and needs, such as deficit reduction."

https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1941920472050061818

An FEC filing appeared, listing an Indian, Vaibhav Taneja, as Treasurer, Custodian of Records, and form signatory. The “Red Eagle Patriot” snidely observed that Musk was “us[ing] the H1B [visa] system to staff [the party].”

https://x.com/RedEaglePatriot/status/1941899673502974011

Almost at once, Musk disavowed the filing.

The filing is false and has been reported as such to the FEC.

https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1942014656505155674

As always, should you or any member of your [Impossible Missions] Force be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.

Voice on the tape giving mission orders on the CBS-TV show Mission: Impossible

Daugherty quoted Musk on these planks of the proposed America Party platform:

🚨 JUST IN: Elon Musk confirms his new "America Party" platform will be "centrist" on most issues, and specific policies will be:
- Reduce debt, responsible spending only
- Modernize military with ai/robotics
- Pro-tech, accelerate to win in ai
- Less regulation across board but especially in energy
- Free speech
- Pro natalist

https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1941617503320371695

Another influencer gave this tart observation of what the above likely means:

Elon Musk’s Party Platform:
- Reopen the border
- Globalist free trade that sends factory jobs to China
- Regime change in South Africa
- Cut Social Security and Medicaid
- Green New Deal solar and wind incentives
- Subsidies for Tesla’s electric cars
- Carbon tax

https://x.com/TheClassicalCon/status/1941592826300834094

Reaction to the announcement has been swift and brutal. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNN that the working principles of Musk’s signature contribution, the “Department” of Government Efficiency, were and are far more popular than the man himself.

🚨 Holy SMOKES: Scott Bessent with a message for Elon Musk...
"The principles of DOGE were very popular. If you looked at the polling, Elon was NOT."
"Those Board of Directors did not like this announcement [of a new party] yesterday."

https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1941852827652862170

CNN token conservative Scott Jennings warned Musk explicitly that the new Party could divide conservatives.

🚨 BREAKING: Scott Jennings tells Elon Musk his party could divide conservatives.
"You may be dividing the forces of people who want to save Western civilization to the benefit of the people who don't."
"And so to the extent that this effort would divide conservatives and Republicans against each other, that wouldn't be helpful, because it would leave the country to people who want unfettered immigration, don't share your fiscal views and so on and so forth."

https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1941858508091044262

Is Musk being self-serving?

The Red Eagle Patriot observed that in America, third parties do not work.

A third party does not work in a two party system. You don't have to like it, but your best course of action is to infiltrate/reform one of our 2 major parties. It's also why the GOP, while not perfect, is nearly unrecognizable compared to what it was 20 years ago.

https://x.com/RedEaglePatriot/status/1941592527712264403

As evidence, he cited H. Ross Perot’s 1992 Reform Party, which handed the Presidency to Bill Clinton. Perot’s motives were blatantly self-serving; he hoped to land a contract for his Electronic Data Services company with Hillarycare. (Perot lost out, not only because Hillarycare didn’t happen, but likely because Hillary Clinton would never have given him such a contract.) Likewise, Musk resents the end to the Electric Vehicle Mandate and the corollary end to $7500 per vehicle tax write-offs.

The Big Beautiful Bill actually reduces the current deficit compared to the actual baseline (more $$$ in spending cuts than in new tax cuts). Elon should be happy about that, but since it cuts EV subsidies, he forms a new party to get 0.2% of the vote! Hilarious.

For more information, play this video.

Analysis

First, let us examine the platform as Musk avowed it. Reduce debt with responsible spending only? As Red Eagle pointed out, HR 1 (the center of the quarrel) does that.

The promotion of artificial intelligence became problematic at about the same time as Musk’s announcement. His Grok 4 AI engine started spewing outconspiratorial antisemitic” content. (Shades of Tsar Aleksandr III’s Protocols!) That’s so embarrassing that X CEO Linda Yaccarino is resigning over it. Musk blames certain users for manipulating the engine. Indeed at least one prominent X user, Andrew Torba, has boasted of such manipulation. But an AI subject to such manipulation is not the kind of engine we want in charge of weapons systems or anything else.

Less regulation across the board? Trump is delivering on that. Free speech? Trump’s officials have settled all remaining free-speech cases involving the government and social media.

Now as to pro-natalist policy: Musk has said nothing about his policy prescriptions along this line. Child tax credits will not suffice; those who have no taxes to pay, get no credit as a general rule. “Refundable” tax credits would violate another Musk precept: reducing the debt. But the late Will Durant, in The Story of Civilization, highlighted the most important influence.

Religion attends the birth of civilization; philosophy accompanies it to its grave.

For evidence, observe the Old Order Amish, the most thriving sub-population in America today. But Musk has a problem: he’s a stone-cold atheist, believer in evolution, and acceptor of a super-annuated universe. This is not a pro-natalist position.

The accusations

The accusations against Musk, beyond the pettiness of his position, deserve closer attention. “Reopen the border” isn’t quite accurate. The H1B visa program is definitely exploitative but, so far, is not the high-volume problem that illegal immigration is. “Globalist free trade that sends factory jobs to China” might be accurate at that. Elon doesn’t seem to recognize how vulnerable a country without its own industrial base can be. “Regime change in South Africa” is a facile assumption depending solely on Musk’s origins. The recent admission of a group of Afrikaners fleeing systematic “unofficial murder” in South Africa does not equate to declaring war against that country. And “cut Social Security and Medicaid” distorts the actual plan to make illegal aliens ineligible for those programs.

But the other three accusations might lie at the heart of Musk’s opposition to Trump’s program. He genuinely believes that the only legitimate electric power is solar and wind power, with gigantic batteries to store it at night and during periods of calm. More to the point, losing the $7500 per vehicle subsidy alone explains his bitterness with the Trump administration.

This new party need not have any practical effect. Conservative influencers will likely force the administration’s hand on the Epstein affair, on which the Democrats have been strangely silent. (Pam Bondi, who has blundered worst of all, should resign.) Elon has his own embarrassment with the Grok affair. These things, plus the selection of more dynamic Republican candidates, can neutralize this third-party threat.
