The Republicans are either following President Donald Trump’s lead, or, like bullied kids suddenly discovering their own power, fighting back. Or perhaps they’re doing both. Either way, Republicans have discovered a new weapon, which forum-shopping Democrats inadvertently taught them how to use. That weapon is mid-decade redistricting. So powerful is it, that Democrats are trying any and all means, legal and illegal, to thwart it. The only certain outcome of this escalated war, is that Democrats have shown the American people their hand. Like the Israelites in Joshua’s day, the American people will now choose, this fall and next, the kind of polity in which they wish to live.

All about redistricting

Technically the word district never appears in the Constitution, except in the context of “the District constituting the seat of government of the United States.” (Article I Section 8 Clause 17a; Amendment XXIII.) But the Constitution does make these two provisions for representation in the House of Representatives:

1. The Clerk of the House apportions seats in the House among the several States according to population. (Which population, “excepting [Native Americans] not taxed,” is subject to debate.) And:

2. State legislatures determine the “times, places and manner of holding elections of Senators and Representatives.” But Congress has full authority to “make or alter such regulations.” (Exception: places for electing Senators. Amendment XVII, providing for popular election of Senators, did not change this.)

Such redistricting normally happens every ten years, after the Census, which takes place in every year that starts a decade. To be specific:

The actual enumeration shall be made within three years after the first meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent term of ten years, in such manner as they shall by law direct. (Article I Section 2 Clause 3.)

But sometimes redistricting has occurred mid-decade. The Voting Rights Act is an example of “making and altering regulations” for holding federal elections. It singles out certain southern States that, early in the twentieth century, did everything imaginable to make sure that American blacks could never elect members of their own race. That law is a “regulation” for a time long past. Congress could and should repeal it. But getting to that pass, requires a new Congress dedicated to honor and social integrity, not social revenge. (Justice is scarcely the word for discrimination among the several States in this or any other regard.)

Republicans discover redistricting and are ready to use it

In 2020 the country took its decennial Census, under difficult circumstances that Democrats used to their advantage. The alleged need for “social distancing” during the “Pandemic” of “The Virus That By Moderational Rule Remained Nameless on Social Media” forced the introduction of on-line self-reporting of residency and co-residency for Census purposes. That was bad enough, facilitating as it did the inflation of some population counts – and deflation of others. But then the Democrats, and their allies, sued to force the Census Bureau to count illegal aliens in the Census.

The first Trump administration fought that case – but the Biden administration settled it. That settlement might – or might not – contain a “poison pill” forbidding even a successor administration to exclude illegal aliens in a future Census. President Trump has announced plans to take a Census, before this decade is out, and without counting illegal aliens. Trump’s response to any legal precedent, especially one with dubious authority, is to say, “Oh, yeah? We’ll see about that!” Call it “testing the authority.”

But while we’re waiting for the inevitable court case, Trump has urged Republicans in Republican-controlled States to employ mid-decade redistricting. He hopes enough States will prepare new maps in time for the 2026 Midterms. Texas Republicans have taken up the challenge, and Florida might do the same.

The Texas quorum fight

Texas Republicans revealed new proposed maps last month, that in theory could let Republicans take five seats from Democrats. One of their targets, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-South Dallas), has complained bitterly that the new map draws a line for her present District that excludes her residence. That’s not even a strict Constitutional disability. The Constitution requires only that a Representative “reside in the State from which (s)he shall be chosen.” State, not district – because States could by law award Israeli Knesset-style mandates or “slots” in proportion to a State-wide vote. (No State does that today. But Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., has proposed that each State elect multiple Representatives from a handful of mega-districts.) Famously, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) does not reside, and never has resided, in the District she represents.

As may be, the rules of the Texas State House specify that a supermajority constitutes a quorum. (The U.S. Constitution requires only a bare majority. Article I Section 5 Clause 1.) So Democrats have employed a strategy called quorum breaking. On August 3, the Texas State House was to vote on approving a mid-decade redistricting map and sending it to the Texas Senate. Not a single Democrat showed up – therefore, no quorum. Most Democrats have fled the State to avoid the redistricting vote, this after Rep. Dustin Burrows, the House Speaker, threatened them all with arrest. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has echoed that threat.

Precedent – and current moves

Compulsion of attendance is a regular staple of legislatures. The U.S. Constitution provides that “a smaller number” may, as either chamber directs, compel the attendance of absent members. Indeed the United States Senate, in a rule that James Stewart paraphrased in his famous 1939 political movie, specifically states:

Whenever … a quorum is not present, a majority of the Senators present may direct the Sergeant at Arms to request, and, when necessary, to compel the attendance of the absent Senators,…

The Texas House has the same rule, and has acted accordingly. Gov. Greg Abbott (R-Texas) has gone further. He vowed to remove absent State House members from office. Already, Attorney General Paxton has gone to the Texas Supreme Court for a writ of quo warranto to remove the apparent “ringleader” of the quorum fight. (That Court has ordered the offending member to answer the lawsuit.) In addition:

Mr. Paxton threatened to move to vacate all Texas House Democratic offices if their holders did not return to duty. Speaker Burrows had set a deadline of Friday afternoon – and the Democrats didn’t show up. So Mr. Paxton carried out his threat. In addition Burrows slapped his Democratic colleagues with more penalties, including:

1. Suspension of direct deposit of salary and per diem checks,

2. Requirement that members show up in person to collect travel reimbursement or take any office personnel action,

3. Fines of $500 per day per members, and

4. Freezing of 30 percent of members’ monthly budgets.

“Beto’s Bribes”

In an interesting development, thirty Texas Democrats “fled” to Illinois. Gov. J. B. Pritzker (D-Ill.) allegedly is having them put up in expensive hotels his family owns. Whether that’s true or false, we now learn how they got to Illinois – aboard an expensive private jet. Former Senate candidate Robert F. “Beto” O’Rourke paid for that junket, using money from his Political Action Committee, “Powered by People.” He also pledged to pay those Democrats’ hotel, meal, and other bills.

Attorney General Paxton has responded swiftly and decisively. He is suing O’Rourke and his PAC to claw back the money. In a post on X, he said:

BREAKING: I sued Robert Francis O'Rourke for “Beto Bribes” to Democrat runaways to impede the Texas Legislature.

I will not allow failed political has-beens to buy off Texas elected officials. I’ll see you in court, Beto.

https://x.com/KenPaxtonTX/status/1953913485576003592

On Friday evening, The Gateway Pundit reported that a court granted the Temporary Restraining Order Paxton had sought against O’Rourke. That Order forbids O’Rourke or his PAC to spend, raise, or offer funds to any absent Texas legislator for purposes of quorum breaking. It also sets Tuesday, August 19, for a hearing on a temporary (that is, preliminary) injunction to the same effect.

Perhaps in response to that order, a thoroughly angry O’Rourke addressed a rally in Fort Worth – the same city where Paxton sued him – and vowed that Democrats would “win, whatever it takes.”

“F**k the rules, we are going to win whatever it takes.” – Beto O'Rourke, dude who can’t win an election no matter what it takes.

Democrats know that deportations and an end to illegal immigration are popular with the public and yet they can’t help but campaign on “we’re gonna let them all in and give them citizenship.”

What a gift to us for the midterms. Thanks Beto!

Retaliatory redistricting?

The governors of California, New York, and Massachusetts have all threatened to retaliate in kind with their own redistricting. But each State has a problem:

1. Massachusetts already sends no Republicans to the House of Representatives. So the Massachusetts General Court (their name for their legislature) can do nothing beyond what they’ve done already.

2. New York would have to amend its Constitution to get rid of the independent districting commission that draws districts in that State. That would take time Democrats don’t have; they’d never get it done by Midterms.

3. California has an independent redistricting commission of its own, which came about through a voter initiative.

To work around this last problem, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) has announced his intention to place on the ballot for this November’s election, a referendum to bypass that commission. But such bypass would be temporary and contingent on Texas finishing its redistricting law.

In reply, Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-Calif.) has introduced a federal bill to forbid mid-decade redistricting in any State. That, of course, is a weapon of last resort – but one that Article I Section 4 Clause 1 makes available.

Republican heavyweights like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Charles Munger, Jr. have pledged to campaign to defeat the referendum. The sheer brazenness of Newsom’s action might cause enough voters to recoil in horror and vote against it.

Summary

Texas is not the only “red State” to consider mid-decade redistricting. Consider this:

🚨BOOM 🚨

GOP could permanently CRUSH the Democrats… if they grow a spine 💀

Ned Ryun [head of American Majority] says Republicans could pick up to 40 HOUSE SEATS by 2030 if they get rid of all the CORRUPTION.

@NedRyun: Democrats have been gerrymandering Republicans out of existence in these blue states. It is time Republicans stepped up to the plate and did EXACTLY what Democrats have been doing to us for YEARS.

https://x.com/JesseBWatters/status/1953990856383320126

Gov. Newsom thinks he can take five or six seats from Republicans in his State, if his referendum passes. But that will be of no moment if other States follow suit. And again, Massachusetts can do nothing, for the same reason one cannot obtain blood from a turnip. New York State won’t have time to act by Midterms. By the time they do act, Census time will come again.

We now know that the Biden administration sought to skew the Census to Democrats’ political advantage. They might even have had more nefarious plans: to cast ballots in the names of those illegal aliens. By far the best remedy the Trump administration has used, is to remove as many of these aliens as possible. And that remedy has been effective. Emergency room visits are down. Government “social programs” have shut down for lack of clients. Crime has declined to a manageable level. All this is taking place in “sanctuary cities” and other places to which illegal aliens once flocked.

Mid-decade redistricting shows that Republicans have come out swinging. Democrats, for their part, aren’t even pretending to any even-handedness. So the one fraud Democrats once perpetrated easily – that theirs was the voice of reason and help for the “working stiff” – has lost its effectiveness. Shortly, voters, in California and elsewhere, will have their most stark choice.

America began its experiment with secular government after the War Between the States. Now we have the data, and they show demonstrable failure. Low birth rates, a population increasing (if at all) through immigration, and corruption of all human institutions tell the tale. America must abandon secular government, or die.

Roots of secular government in the United States

The United States government, in the days of the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation, was anything but secular. John Adams, in his letter to the Massachusetts Militia, famously said,

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

But in 1875 Rep. James G. Blaine (R-Maine), then Speaker of the House, promulgated his Amendment to all but twelve State Constitutions. That Amendment essentially forbids any State to do anything for its religious community. Louisiana repealed its Blaine Amendment in 1973. Ironically, Maine never ratified a Blaine Amendment, but they might as well have.

Blaine shares the blame with three other nefarious social scientists. Rep. Horace Mann (Whig-Mass.) gave us government schools even before the War Between the States. John Dewey ensured that those schools would be secular. Democracy – as Jean Jacques Rousseau might have imagined it – was his ideal.

Those three men fought to destroy the influence of Catholic schools in America. But they didn’t stop there. Without them, a Communist named Roger Baldwin would never have succeeded, with his American Civil Liberties Union, in driving religion out of the public square.

What secular government promotes

Secular government, the ideal of Blaine and company, promotes nihilism and despair in all areas of human endeavor and law. Every school in America, except for Christian schools and maybe those of some other religions, teaches the Grand Evolutionary Paradigm of the origins of the universe, the Earth, and life. That Paradigm pervades all debate on public policy, on everything from “climate change” to the “endangerment of species.” According to it:

• The ages of the universe, the Solar system, and the Earth, are 13.7 billion years, 4.6 billion years, and 4.5 billion years, respectively.

• Life on Earth began 3.8 billion years ago. But it somehow “exploded” into its dizzying variety slightly more than half a billion years ago.

• Human beings have existed on this Earth for at least four million years, and perhaps as long as eight million.

Of course, civilization did not begin with such a dry vision of how humans came to be. That would come with the sophistication that has always characterized civilization. The ancient Greeks flirted with this idea – and then, of course, the Romans conquered them. Rome eventually fell, and the constituents of the Western Roman Empire continued with the Roman Catholic Church to guide them.

But with the coming of secular government came the promotion of the Grand Evolutionary Paradigm, or “Evolution.” With that, have come all the moral, philosophical, and legal ills of the “developed” world today.

Depopulation and the pursuit of immortality

Among those ills, we now see the depopulation of the Earth. The United States remains today the only “developed” country with a growing population. One should note two things:

1. That growth is through migration only, not “natural increase” (the excess of births over deaths).

2. Even in the United States, population is peaking, if it hasn’t peaked already.

Furthermore, one sees explicit holdings of a depopulation ideology in Western law. These include:

1. Abortion on demand, for any reason or no reason, and

2. The Alphabet Soup paradigm, which states that gender, and intimate attraction, are fluid.

With regard to that last: occasionally one hears of “promising research” aimed at allowing humans, born into one gender, to exercise the reproductive functions of the other. Don’t believe it. The Western elites, who run the United Nations, specifically say that life expectancy will continue to increase. For that reason, they insist, the world needs fewer people, not more. Thus they have tipped their hand. They are researching immortality, not flexible reproductive options. So they won’t do a thing for those Alphabet Soupers who want to have children other than in a marriage of a man to a woman. The elites want the planet to themselves, and want the rest of us to die out. Which is also why they promote abortion on demand, enlisting the feminists with lurid tales of death in childbirth.

Perversion of astronomy

Secular government, with its education system, has twisted our understanding of astronomy. Of course this twisting has lasted a long time, to support the notion of “billions of years.” But the recent appearance of three long-period comets has introduced absurd pronouncements and predictions.

The three long-period comets, which the astronomical community calls interstellar objects, are:

1. 1I/Oumuamua,

2. 2I/Borisov, and

3. 3I/Atlas.

Each of these objects is appearing, or has appeared, in our skies for the first time – ever. Borisov need not concern us here, and does not concern anyone. It came in 2019, no closer than two AU to the Sun, and went. (AU stands for Astronomical Unit, the semimajor axis of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun.)

But Oumuamua, with its unusual features (in addition to its orbit), scared the living daylights out of many astronomers. It has the shape of a cigar, not the usual snowball. It tumbled as it passed close to the Sun, then the Earth. And on its way out, it allegedly accelerated. This led Jordan “The Angry Astronaut” Wright to conclude that Oumuamua is an uncrewed probe from a galactic lighthouse parked outside the Solar system, at what astronomers call the Galactic Standard of Rest – the frame of reference for motion applicable to the Galaxy as a whole. This probe had orders to sniff at the Earth, then switch on its engines (ion engines?) and blast out.

The aliens are here!

Never mind that any ship that tumbles as it passes, is a derelict, and that no shipwright would ever design a ship with engines that could propel the ship on a straight course while it is tumbling. That hasn’t stopped modern graphic artists from creating fanciful graphics of Oumuamua as a ship.

CNAV has said before what Oumuamua is: a long-period comet, made of material left over from the Global Flood. But of course, the perennial UFOlogist Avi Loeb refuses to consider any theory but one. That is, that an extraterrestrial civilization built Oumuamua, and launched it at us for a closer look.

Now Dr. Loeb is back in the news again, and scare-mongering feverishly about the third “interstellar” object, Atlas. Atlas is much larger than Oumuamua, by an order of magnitude. In fact it is more than six miles wide – wider than the fictitious “Meteor” of the 1979 American International movie. Apparently Atlas is on a course (or rather, trajectory, the path of a thrown object) that will not let it come anywhere near Earth. (Or at least, no nearer than 130 million miles, or about 1.4 AU.) Loeb asks, what if the Atlas object is not only an alien vessel, but a hostile one?

Again Jordan Wright ran with that speculation. He attributed to Loeb a chilling scenario: that Atlas is a gigantic robot with engines that could brake it and send it crashing into Earth. Such an outcome would, of course, destroy civilization.

Why would they do this?

Why, indeed? Because, says Wright, these aliens consider us a threat to the galactic order. We are, says Wright, an angry and hostile race, always inventing – and deploying – cruel weapons against one another. Therefore the Galactic Empire – or whatever Wright (or Loeb) might call the launch authority for Oumuamua, Atlas and perhaps Borisov also – has determined, to quote Douglas Adams,

Terra delenda est! [Earth must be destroyed!]

From The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and its sequels

Forget Douglas Adams and his Hitchhiker Trilogy. Here Meteor meets The Day the Earth Stood Still or even Plan 9 from Outer Space!

This is the poisonous fruit of secular government. If we were still that “moral and religious people” John Adams said we were, we would not make these mistakes. We would know that those objects all consist of Flood ejecta, that have come inside the orbits of even more massive objects beyond sight of our telescopes. (Has anyone trained the James Webb Space Telescope on any of these objects, to look for gravitational assistant objects?) We would also know not to expect any of those objects to be anything but big rocks – and not to expect any of them to brake and steer toward Earth.

Furthermore, our birth rate would be higher – much higher. And how do we know this?

The control against the secular government experiment

We know this because – against the wishes of the Blaine-Mann-Dewey-Baldwin Axis – their experiment in secular government has a control. That control is the population of Old Order Amish that settled in Pennsylvania before the War Between the States. Since then they have spread to Ohio and then into Indiana.

These Old Order Amish are the “Amish” of popular lore. (The New Order Amish are the “Mennonites.”) The Amish, from the start, separated themselves from the rest of us, whom they call “The English World.” (Amish speak a dialect of German.) Not only do they avoid our notions of secular government and education, but they also avoid every institution that might tie them to the rest of us. That most famously includes the electric grid and the Public Switched Telephone Network. A typical Amish village might have one telephone, usually in its general store, to serve the entire community.

Amish women enjoy a Total Fertility Rate (the number of children an average woman has during her lifeftime) of at least 4. In years of robust commerce with “The English World,” the TFR climbs to 6 or 7. They doubled their population in 25 years and show every sign of continuing that growth. Furthermore, all the growth of the Amish population is through natural increase. That growth always exceeds the “losses” to the custom of Rumspringa, in which Amish youth sample “English” ways and decide which is more attractive to them.

Possible reasons

Naturally advocates for a secular government – when they’re not cursing Amish women’s unusual fertility as evidence of their exploitation – will protest that the Amish could have many reasons for their extra fertility and overall thriving. Some of those reasons might interest Health Secretary Kennedy. The Amish drink their cow’s milk raw, not heat-treated, and are much more careful when collecting it. They do not add artificial dyes or anything else to their food that God didn’t put there. Nor do they expose themselves to noxious chemicals (including motor fuels) or electric fields.

Nor do they “veg out” in front of television sets – because they consume no television, nor any other mass medium. As one result, they get exercise – far more than we “Englishers” get.

But most of all, they have hope. The Grand Evolutionary Paradigm offers no hope, and says what you do makes no difference to anyone else.

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

Will Durant

And because they do not consume mass media, they do not pollute their minds with mass media content.

Tellingly, no trustworthy independent clinical authority has studied the epidemiology of Alphabet Soup urges in Amish society. Naturally Alphabet Soup propagandists say that Alphabet Soup individuals, born into that society, either:

• “Flee” it, usually at Rumspringa, or

• Suffer shunning as adults upon failure to repent.

So no one really knows whether the Amish develop “Alphabet Soup” tendencies as often as “Englishers” do.

Secular government has failed

We do know that the Amish, the controls of the secular government experiment, are thriving. In contrast, “The English World” is dying. In fact, if the Amish are thriving less well now than they did before, that’s because they have allowed “English World” values to creep into their society. Perhaps that was inevitable when the Amish expanded beyond their first settlement and had to buy land – with “English” currency – from “English” landowners.

All of which to say: the culture that includes secular government is not only dying, but has deleterious influences. The most deleterious influence of all is surely secular government itself. It is buying the loyalty of its subjects (citizens might not be the word anymore) with cheap, immediate thrills, just as Roman society bought off its “Head Count” with bread and circuses. And it’s not working. Or rather, it is not working as advertised. But secular government is working according to the designs of the elites who likely built upon the work of Mann, Blaine, Dewey, and Baldwin (and don’t forget Darwin), and added to that work through the contributions of such “geniuses” as Darrow, Friedan, Steinem, Dworkin – and the incomparable (in the negative sense) Earl Warren, who famously dictated that the Constitution should mean whatever he said it meant, any time he said it.

Thankfully, Earl Warren is dead, and the Supreme Court today is in wiser hands than his. But the problem remains.

The solution

To continue that thought, the Supreme Court signaled, in its 2021 Term, a sea change in its attitude toward religion. Kennedy v. Bremerton School District destroyed the “Lemon Test” of “secular applicability.” Carson v. Makin laid a foundation for invalidating Blaine Amendments everywhere. That invalidation requires only the will to find plaintiffs in the thirty-seven States that still have Blaine Amendments, and file lawsuits that will lead to Supreme Court orders like this:

The petition(s) for writs of certiorari is/are granted. The judgment(s) of the lower court(s) is/are vacated, and the case(s) is/are remanded to [that/those] court(s) for further proceedings consistent with this Court’s opinion in Carson v. Makin.

The immediate effect would be to nullify those Blaine Amendments. Thereafter, education systems, going beyond private Christian academies, could lay the foundation for faith-based government.

A faith-based government would teach the Bible as not only Beautiful Poetry and a Quaint Historical Artifact, but as Fact. Honest findings in biology, chemistry, geology, archaeology, astronomy and cosmology, to name six, support the Bible, rather than contradicting It. The government, and other Major Scientific Grantors, would for the first time consider creation as a valid scientific model, and evidence in its favor worthy of scientific investigation.

More to the point, abortion would be unlawful, as is murder according to conventional definition. Furthermore, society would treat loose talk of extraterrestrial fleets including “meteoric” planet-wrecking mass drones with the contempt it deserves. And maybe someone will study Alphabet Soup epidemiology, intending to heal people of such tendencies, not “celebrate” them as ideal.

Donald Trump might not be the man to lead this charge. This will require leaders dedicated to erasing the secularism of government, and returning to the ideals of John Adams.

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.

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.

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:

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)

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
