Civilization requires deterrence
Posted By: Imright, 9/23/2021 11:48:18 PM
Deterrence is the ancient ability to scare somebody off from hurting you, your friends or your interests — without a major war.Desire peace? Then be prepared for war. Or so the Romans believed.It’s an easily understood concept in the abstract. But deterrence still remains a mystical quality in the concrete since it is only acquired with difficulty and yet easily forfeited.The tired democracies of the 1930s learned that lesson when they kept acquiescing to Hitler’s serial aggressions.Hitler’s Germany foolishly later attacked a far stronger Soviet Union in 1941, given Moscow’s lost deterrence after its lackluster performances in Poland and Finland, its pact with the Nazis, and its recent purges

Donald Trump's supporters didn't take waste time breaking out into 'F*** you Biden' chants immediately as they arrived for the former president's rally in Perry, Georgia.A crop plane with a banner reading 'Tax the Rich' along with President Joe Biden's slogan 'Build Back Better' circled the rally venue at the Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter on Saturday afternoon.Hours before the former president's speech, Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene and Senate candidate Hershal Walker mingled with attendees.Trump is coming to the center of the Peach State on Saturday to hold a rally for Walker,
Donald Trump has said that only grave health concerns could prevent him seeking the White House once again in 2024, in another sign that the Republican's next US presidential bid may be inevitable.Trump made the remark in a phone interview on Friday night, ahead of his planned rally in Perry, Georgia on Saturday to support his picks in key Republican primary races. Asked by Real America's Voice host David Brody what might prevent him from running again, Trump responded: 'Well, I don't — I guess a bad call from a doctor or something, right?'
Reflection Of My Failed Campaign

I want to thank the distributor of my articles, Creators Syndicate, for allowing me to take eight weeks off from writing my weekly column so I could campaign to recall and replace the governor of California. I also want to thank my readers for their patience and willingness to let me pursue that adventure. The recall required 50% plus one of the votes be cast in favor of the recall. To replace required only that the replacement candidate receive more votes than any other candidate. Right now, ballots are still being counted, but the effort to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom has failed. CORRECTION*

PERRY, Ga. — The rewards of an early Donald Trump endorsement will be on display Saturday in Georgia when a three-man ticket of candidates he’s backing in 2022 Republican primaries will be featured at one of his signature rallies. But GOP opponents of Trump-backed candidates aren’t folding in Georgia and some say the former president’s nod could hurt Republicans in a general election in the closely divided state.Trump’s endorsement blitz is a frank attempt to keep remaking the party in his image, with Republicans eagerly courting his favor.
Donald Trump has reacted to the “huge findings” that have come out of the Arizona election audit.(Statement by Donald Trump) “Huge findings in Arizona!” Trump writes. “However, the Fake News Media is already trying to ‘call it’ again for Biden before actually looking at the facts – just like they did in November!”“The audit has uncovered significant and undeniable evidence of FRAUD!” he went on. “Until we know how and why this happened, our Elections will never be secure. This is a major criminal event and should be investigated by the Attorney General immediately.”
The Hunter Biden email cover-up may not be the most contemptible example of the modern political media's corruption, but it is probably the most demonstrable.Politico reports that Ben Schreckinger's new book, "The Bidens: Inside the First Family's Fifty-Year Rise to Power," corroborates much of the New York Post's pre-election reporting on Hunter Biden's emails. Two of them stick out: The first is a 2015 missive from a Ukrainian businessman thanking Hunter for the chance to meet Joe Biden — then, still vice president.
Last week, Greece announced it would be sending US-made Patriot anti-missile batteries and soldiers to man them to Saudi Arabia, to replace US-manned Patriots the Biden administration withdrew in April. It was a momentous development in the rapidly changing geopolitical environment of the Middle East, and received zero coverage in the corporate media in the United States. When Greece steps up to fill the vacuum left by a US pullout, it gives you a measure of just how far the United States has retreated from the world stage over the past nine months. This is not the Greece of Alexander the Great, but today’s Greece.
Bill Maher has slammed 'The View' host Whoopi Goldberg after she said America needs a separate black national anthem in order to 'reeducate people'.Maher had hit out at the NFL two weeks ago after Alicia Keys performed Lift Every Voice and Sing - otherwise known as the black national anthem - at a Thursday night football game.He warned that having separate anthems for different people was 'segregation' but 'under a different name'.His comments sparked a debate on 'The View', with Goldberg saying she was all for having more than one national anthem
The official Arizona Senate’s election audit findings were just released – and they are causing a stir. The official documents were obtained and released by Constitutional attorney Matthew S. DePerno. They are posted in their entirety below. (Snip) The results show “57,734 ballots with serious issues were identified.” If those ballots were not counted, that would be far beyond the margin of victory needed to overturn the results of the election. The auditors recommended that “the election should not be certified.”You can watch the Arizona audit presentation live below:
President Joe Biden continued his conflict with American reporters Friday, urging Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi not to take questions from them during a meeting in the Oval Office.“I think, with your permission, you could not answer questions because they won’t ask any questions on point,” Biden told Modi, referring to the American press.The president also criticized White House reporters for their behavior in the Oval Office.“The Indian press is much better behaved than the American press,” Biden said. “I gotta watch out; they’ll knock one of those down.”The White House did not include Biden’s comments in the official transcript of his remarks.
Thousands of Haitian migrants who fled the makeshift encampment at Del Rio, Texas, rather than be deported to their country of origin this week have reportedly opted to lie low in Mexico as they gear up for another attempt to cross into the US.The Daily Mail reported Friday that some migrants who left the camp under the Del Rio International bridge had been seen buying bus tickets in the bordering city of Ciudad Acuña, Mexico, that would take them to major transport hubs like Mexico City and Monterrey. Some bought tickets for Nogales, a Mexico border city which adjoins a city of the same name in Arizona.

President Biden slammed Border Patrol agents filmed on horseback attempting to stop migrants from crossing the Rio Grande into Texas, saying they would “pay” for their actions.
“It was horrible to see what you saw, to see people treated like they did—horses barely running them over people being strapped,” Biden said at a press conference at the White House on Friday. “It’s outrageous. I promise you those people will pay.”
Biden added, “There will be consequences. It’s an embarrassment. But beyond an embarrassment is dangerous, it’s wrong.”
It seems like this warning from the CDC shouldn’t be necessary yet the agency issued an alert to medical professionals to be on the lookout for Afghan refugees with infectious disease symptoms. A few cases of infectious diseases for which most Americans are vaccinated have started popping up among the Afghan evacuees recently brought into the United States.
The CDC posted an announcement on its website warning medical professionals and staff of the possibility of Afghan refugees bringing infectious diseases like measles, mumps, and rubella into the country during their evacuation. Most Americans have been vaccinated against all those diseases.

Brand’: ‘Sucking Up’

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is warning the Republican Party that staying in former President Donald Trump’s thrall will not lead to a viable political future.
The Lexington Herald-Leader obtained a preview of Peril, the upcoming book from Bob Woodward and Robert Costa that has already produced a multitude of explosive details on Trump’s last days in office. According to the new excerpt, McConnell is encouraging the GOP to move away from Trumpism, calling the ex-president “a fading brand. Retired. OTTB as they say in Kentucky — off-the-track Thoroughbred.”
“There is a clear trend moving,” McConnell said. “Sucking up to Donald Trump is not a strategy that works.”

Here’s a question for any American who is capable of thinking past next week: Why, in the ever-loving hell, are you not out in the streets, protesting peacefully against what the Democrats in Washington are trying to do to the federal budget? (snip photo) Seriously, what is wrong with you? Why aren’t you calling for town halls? Why aren’t you forming committees? Why aren’t you calling Congress and demanding that it stop? Judging by its current behavior, the federal government has decided to completely give up on reality.

Down Indian PM From Taking Questions During Meeting 32 replies
We’ve reported about how Joe Biden’s staff has gone to great lengths to prevent him from answering questions.
His meeting with U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson at the White House was a great example of this. Johnson took some questions from the British press. But as he was finishing up, the Biden staffers interrupted him, screaming at the top of their lungs at the press to get out, creating all kinds of chaos.
The press then filed a complaint with White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki. She basically treated them like dirt and like their objections meant nothing.

They Caught Them! AZ Audit Team Caught MARICOPA COUNTY Deleting Files And The Crowd Cheered..Ben Cotton shared the IT results from the audit of the 2020 Election Results in Maricopa County. During his presentation, he noted that files were deleted by those involved in the election. But then Cotton noted that his team was able to identify the time stamps for when the files were messed with and from that We have captured screen shots of Maricopa County people at the keyboards during those time periods.”
After months of delays and blistering criticism, a review of the 2020 election in Arizona’s largest county, ordered up and financed by Republicans, has failed to show that former President Donald J. Trump was cheated of victory, according to draft versions of the report.
In fact, the draft report from the company Cyber Ninjas found just the opposite: It tallied 99 additional votes for President Biden and 261 fewer votes for Mr. Trump in Maricopa County, the fast-growing region that includes Phoenix.
Jonathan Mellis, a detainee from January 6th, wrote us from solitary confinement last week.
Mellis has been detained without bond since his arrest in February. In May, U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan denied his request to be released from custody for a week so he could attend his father’s funeral.

A U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) employee was caught on tape advocating for a Nazi-like response to the COVID-19 pandemic, with forced vaccinations, and a registry for all unvaccinated Americans.
In Part Two of Project Veritas’ COVID vaccine investigative series, FDA economist Taylor Lee literally called for the United States government to emulate Nazi Germany to force the COVID injections on vaccine skeptics.
