Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

NY Post is right about the hysteria from universities. They pretend they've done the research as to what is safe, but it's all under the auspices of removing any potential threat of a lawsuit. Put enough fear out there that no-one can say they didn't do enough.

Well this morning on the news the occupant of the White House was spinning fairy tales about Jan 6th 2021. The irony was heavy as he blamed everyone else for what the Democrats did; stole the election. I thought I was watching the Onion. It seems that some tone deaf staffers and speech writers thought it would be a good idea to throw the stolen election in the face of 85,000,000 voters who voted for Trump. We all saw the election was stolen, they had to steal it openly and brazenly because they lost by millions and millions of votes It is easy to steal a close election but a massive landslide requires a massive steal and it is then obvious to everyone. I'm not in the habit of giving the communist party advice but I think it would have been wiser to not mention the stolen election and not tell blatant lies about the Jan6 riot. But I don't think they have a clue yet what America really thinks.

While driving around running errands yesterday I listened to that lying $astard Merrick Garland. I was so angry listening to him I though I might cause some road rage. The things coming from his mouth were so unbelievable I could hardly stand it. I happened to be listening where he was blaming nearly everything on white supremacy, including trying to stop the blacks from voting. How do these people look into their mirrors each morning without shame?

It's a simple matter of self-selection, JC. Leftist hacks like Garland, Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, and the rest ad nauseum--and their MSM flacks--are precisely those who lack the capacity for shame.

They lie continuously about everything, even when they don't have to, and every now and then let drop a statement that is arguable, maybe true, just to keep the rest of us off-balance.

The Federal Government is full of them.

My concern is that it becomes more and more obvious everyday that their ultimate goal is more than just getting reelected forever. They intend to reduce the greatest free republic in history to communism in your lifetime. I do not see how this can end without open warfare in our streets. Do not misunderstand, they intend to rule over us and as more and more people understand this they will take to the streets in protest. But what Jan 6th and all the rhetoric from the left has told us is they intend in the future to kill us in the streets. It was the left who authorized live rounds to be fired into the crowd on J6. Given enough provocation that will happen. They intend to rule by violence.

Jan 6th was a false flag. The Democrats had Antifa and BLM infiltrate the protest and they had FBI informers/employees trying to incite the crowd to violence. You should remember that famous false flag event where Nancy Pelosi and her band of merry insurrectionists set up a MSM event where they paraded back to the capitol after their Democrat caucus meeting. Remember her carrying that oversized gavel? (which if any of the Jan 6th protestors had carried would have been considered a deadly weapon). Do you also remember that it was in fact their second "march" to the capitol because nothing happened during the first march. The Republican demonstrators were peacefully protesting and there was no incident. So they went back across the street using the underground tunnel and did the exact same march again and THAT was when one of the black Representatives famously heard the N-word. No one else heard it even the MSM microphones didn't hear it. So it was fake of course just something that the left could use to destroy the grass roots Republican movement of the Tea party.

But think about that event. They all took the tunnel under the street to the building where they held their caucus but choose to march back through the protest in the hopes of creating a made for TV news moment. But nothing happened so they went back through the tunnel and did a "do over" on the march but this time they were ready with the false accusation to make it a news worthy TV moment. They did that, it was all a hoax or better known as a false flag and they did it. So why would you think for a second that they didn't plan the Jan 6th false flag event???

Will The FBI Ever Get Around To Finding The Jan. 6 Pipe Bomber, Or Nah?

QUOTE:
One year after a mysterious hooded figure placed two explosives outside the Republican and Democrat national headquarters, federal investigators, corporate media, and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s Jan. 6 commission are mum about the premeditated act of violence.

. . . . Even the Jan. 6 commission, which has gone to great lengths to obtain the phone records of private citizens, doesn’t seem interested in pursuing the person behind the explosives.

“There has been no questions or no oversight or no investigation on what was planted that day outside of the RNC and DNC. This is an example of why this is a partisan sham select committee. . . .

. . . An explosive report from Revolver published in October detailed how Ray Epps, who was captured on video telling people to go into the Capitol, mysteriously disappeared from the FBI’s Capitol Violence Most Wanted List on July 1.

The FBI had previously plastered pictures of Epps’s face all over its Jan 6. wanted posters. Even The New York Times mentioned Epps’s actions. But Epps was never arrested nor indicted despite hundreds of others who were at the Capitol being charged with trespassing and other crimes.

The J6 commission is not a criminal investigative body. However, the FBI continues to investigate the incident.

Epps, former president of the Oath Keepers, was located on his ranch.

There is no evidence Epps entered the Capitol.

Anon: 85,000,000 voters who voted for Trump

That is incorrect. The vote was 81 million for Biden, 74 million for Trump.

Anon: We all saw the election was stolen

Multiple courts looked and found no evidence the election was stolen.

Anon: Jan 6th was a false flag.

There is ample evidence that J6 was perpetrated by Trump supporters.

Look at what the KiddieZ offer as "evidence".
Kinda like Russia, Russia, Russia!!!
Bwaha!

"The vote was 81 million for Biden, 74 million for Trump."

That was after the voting machines in 6 states switched 13% of Trump votes to Biden. Biden "MAY" have gotten 60 million votes to Trump's 85 million.

"Multiple courts looked and found no evidence the election was stolen."

Yes! Left wing judges while smiling because they couldn't keep a straight face found nothing. Amazing! The entire world saw the left steal the election and left wing judges saw nothing.

"There is ample evidence that J6 was perpetrated by Trump supporters."

"perpetrated" Sure, that is they were there and walked into the Capitol. But the planning was apparently done by the FBI and the communist left. WHat a shame to shoot that poor lady and cause a riot just so the communist left would have an issue that they could use to maybe get a few votes. The left/Democrats/communists have no honor or honesty.

You didn't provide a citation. However, one of those states is presumably Georgia. Georgia conducted a hand recount of every ballot cast during the election, confirming the machine count.

Anon: Left wing judges while smiling because they couldn't keep a straight face found nothing.

Judges all over the U.S. came to the same conclusion: There was no evidence of any widespread fraud.

Anon: Sure, that is they were there and walked into the Capitol.

Hundreds of people have been identified and charged, including for serious crimes. The evidence clearly shows that the crimes were perpetrated by Trump supporters.

“Trump supporters were lied to by those at the time who had great power,” the convicted rioter wrote. “They kept spitting out the false narrative about a stolen election and how it was ‘our duty’ to stand up to tyranny.”

As part of Palmer's sentencing agreement he was required to renounce his actions.

Nice try, KiddieZ.

And that right there is the reason they are holding them in a gulag without trial so that they will be broken men and willing to renounce anyone and anything just to make it all stop. This is American but Nancy Pelosi and her band of merry Stalinists have turned it into Stalinist Russia.

Actually, everyone who was arrested has been given the right to a court hearing before trial. The vast majority have been released before trial, though a small number were shown to constitute a risk of flight or a risk to the public, so are being held pursuant to the law and the U.S. Constitution. They will all be provided a trial, again, pursuant to the law and the U.S. Constitution.

Anon: they will be broken men and willing to renounce anyone and anything just to make it all stop.

Palmer was not held pretrial, but out on bond before he pleaded to assaulting police, a crime of which he was patently guilty.

Amazing how some people on the right are suddenly all concerned about the judicial system now that "normal" people are in the dock.

Re: CDC's quarantine guidance: What is obvious to any sensible observer is that they're making it up as they're going on. So is it a 10-day, 5-day, or 7-day quarantine? Depends on what day it is. Two-dose vaccine? Booster shot? Now, a fourth injection? This isn't a scientifically-driven refinement of treatment protocols. It's improvisation.

The political operators have managed to induce fear into the susceptible fraction of the population, but to what purpose? Those people are the ones who mindlessly vote Democrat anyway, no matter what is going on, so there's no net gain there. The problem for the Administration is how to wind this whole circus down without looking (even more) foolish. That may not be possible to do, so there's an incentive to simply push on with the show as long as possible, damn the consequences.
