“Democrats’ #Resistance is creating a genuine constitutional crisis” Democrats’ #Resistance is creating a genuine constitutional crisis in which governmental power is not allowed by them to be peacefully transferred after a lawful election. The potential for escalation is very very dangerous. SCROOL Georgetown Law Professor Randy Barnett had a tweet on December 5, 2017, that I’ve been meaning to write about. It reflects a subject I, and others, have been focusing on since election night — the refusal of Democrats and #NeverTrump Republicans to accept the outcome of the election not just emotionally, but as to the transfer of power that continues to this day, over a year since the 2016 election. Here is Prof. Barnett’s tweet, referencing the attempt by outgoing CFPB Director Richard Cordray preemptively to install Leandra English as Interim Director over the objections of the Trump administration. The tweet references a separate tweet from law professor Josh Blackman about attempts of the CFPB bureaucracy to subvert the authority of Mick Mulvaney, the Interim Director appointed by Trump: Democrats’ #Resistance is creating a genuine constitutional crisis in which governmental power is not allowed by them to be peacefully transferred after a lawful election. The potential for escalation is very very dangerous. I think this is right. The peaceful transition of power is fundamental to our constitutional system. The attempt, which still in the courts, to prevent the Trump administration from appointing an Interim Director of the CFPB is not even the most stark such example. In a post on December 12, 2016, about the attempt to undermine the Electoral College, I wrote The one thing you must understand about the unfolding media-Democrat Electoral Collegecoup attempt: We are witnessing nothing short of an attempt to steal the election by some Democrats and a very supportive mainstream and leftwing media, by causing Electors in the Electoral College to go rogue and vote for Hillary, or at least not vote for Trump…. These are not, with few exceptions, people who actually believe that something has changed so dramatically since the election that the Electors need to intervene. Rather, this is a pure power play to undermine the electoral system by people who never thought Trump was fit for office for reasons unrelated to Russia, who now are using the Russian “hack” as an excuse. Do you really think that Nancy Pelosi’s daughter, an Elector demanding a CIA briefing to vet the accusations against Trump, actually and honestly believes anything other than that she never wanted Trump to be president? It’s one thing to say that allegations of foreign tampering should be thoroughly investigated. They should. But it’s quite a different thing to use that alleged tampering to overturn elections. And so it continues, with "the apparent set-up of the incoming administration on a phony Logan Act violation, the Mueller investigation that obviously has strayed far from alleged Russian interference in the election to post-election political strategy of the incoming Trump administration, the unprecedented delay in confirming nominees that Dems didn’t even object to for the sake of depriving Trump of the ability to control the bureaucracy, the rogue elements in the intelligence community and FBI leaking information (assuming news reports are not completely lying about their sourcing), and so on and so on.

"Climate change is a racist crisis"

Climate change is a racist crisis: that’s why Black Lives Matter closed an airport BLM; a creation of the George Soros as a political tool. The concept of man caused global warming is similarly a device concocted by left-wing globalists to  control (mostly) the U.S. economy. End of story.

GOPers Sabotage?

HERE'S UR SABOTAGE WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans who sent a letter to Iran’s leaders in an unprecedented attempt to undermine nuclear talks are siding with America’s enemies, President Obama and Senate Democrats charged Monday. “It’s somewhat ironic to see some members of Congress wanting to make common cause with the hard-liners in Iran,” Obama told reporters Monday. “It’s an unusual coalition.” Senate Democrats went further. “Let’s be clear,” Minority Leader Harry Reid said. “Republicans are undermining our commander-in-chief while empowering the ayatollahs.” [Daily News] "When law and morality contradict each other, the citizen has the cruel alternative of either losing his moral sense or losing his respect for the law." Frederic Bastiat I'm like most of you by feeling that I've fallen through a wormhole into some parallel universe that I don't understand.  My instincts are derivative of thousands of years of man's need to act forcefully against threats to him and other cave dwellers.  When an tiger tries to eat me, I kill it or it kills me, so I want to strike out,  but some of the cave dwellers would rather die than let me. Below, in the scroll, are a culled list of quotes I turned to for some guidance. One really smacked me in the face. "Thousands of trained killers are plotting to attack us, and this terrible knowledge requires us to act differently." Televised speech to the Nation, announcing the formation of the Department of Homeland Security” June 6, 2002 George W. Bush (b. 1946) 43rd President of the U.S. Smacked in the face because I was guilty of buying into, and defending Bush's populism in violation of everything I had heretofore professed. The very name "Department of Homeland Security" was screaming in my head, and I ignored it.  The "terrible knowledge" is that the last thing we should have done is act differently, and we are paying dearly for it. [Scroll] "Remember, democracy never last long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy that did not commit suicide." John Adams. "In a government of laws, the existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for the law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy." Justice Louis Brandeis "I predict future happiness for Americans if the can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." Thomas Jefferson "There is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits." Address before the American Newspaper Publishers Association—April 27, 1961 John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) 35th President of the U.S. "If ever time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." Letter to James Warren—24 October 1780 (The Writings of Samuel Adams, Volume 4) Samuel Adams (172-1803) American Patriot "If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher; as a nation of freemen, we must live through all time or die by suicide."

Basler; 1953) Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) 16th President of the U.S. "September 11th does not justify ignoring the Constitution by creating broad new federal police powers. The rule of law is worthless if we ignore it whenever crises occur." Domestic Surveillance and the Patriot Act— December 26, 2005 Ron Paul (b. 1935) U.S. Representative, Texas (R) "Only the mob and the elite can be attracted by the momentum of totalitarianism itself. The masses have to be won by propaganda." The Origins of Totalitarianism, chapter 3”1951 Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German Political Philosopher  "I myself was to experience how easily one is taken in by a lying and censored press and radio in a totalitarian state... a steady diet over the years of falsifications and distortions made a certain impression on one's mind and often misled it." The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, pp. 247-248 —1959 William L. Shirer (1904-1993) Journalist and Historian "A newspaper has three things to do.

Edmund Burke "When law and morality contradict each other, the citizen has the cruel alternative of either losing his moral sense or losing his respect for the law." Frederic Bastiat "We shall have world government whether or not we like it. The only question is whether world government will be achieved by conquest or consent." Feb. 17, 1950, James Paul Warburg, the former president of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), speaking to the U.S. Senate. "We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promise of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The super-national sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries." Former CFR president, David Rockefeller, at a 1991 Bilderberger meeting. "Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as internationalists and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure—one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."

Dear Leader Climbs a Ladder

Catharsis                                                            “ "The Glorious Day"... Rodge, you probably have this pic already, but I've always found it particularly soothing to imagine sundry Democrats dangling from its branches, come what my friend Mr. Free Market refers to as "The Glorious Day"...   Use it in good health.   Kim Thanks.  We shall.

TREES

Full Size

I THINK that I shall never see those devils hanging from a tree; A tree whose heavy boughs await Limp hung forms of the fourth estate; A tree that looks at God all day, Ere come the day when they will pay; A tree that may in summer wear The heads of Clintons in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain But feet are nourished by evil slain; Poems are made by fools like me But  TJ's words can set us free. Doo-Dah

We see in the post below that Starbuck's CEO "fears the left ... And he doesn’t fear the right."   As for the Left, they fear words and ideas.  Anything  counter to their statist ideology is a threat.  To them, Thomas Jefferson is the most vilified of our founding fathers, because he knew, described, and prescribed them eleven score and seventeen-years ago.  I'm talking about people like this.
