Plenty Of Grounds For Impeachment. Our Bully State Department. Avoiding Political Discussions. Energy Prices Going Higher?

+++++++++++++++++++++
If Biden is allowing the invasion of America by illegals he should be impeached.  

If Biden is being manipulated by those pulling his strings he should be tried under the 25th Amendment.  
Regardless, the current president of the United States has become a threat to our nation's security.

If he is flooding America because he is after an overwhelming theoretical vote advantage insuring a single party which will eventually turn Communistic then he also should be impeached.

America, Betrayed

Our Founding Fathers Warned This “Tyranny”
Would Lead To The “End Of The Republic”

They Were Right. 

“They’re looking to destroy the country,” Trump warns as he calls out the threat from the Left.

He even states they are a greater threat to America than hostile foreign nations.  

Unfortunately, he’s right. 

And President Biden confirmed how far they are willing to go when he wrote Executive Order 14067. 

It was just signed into law without the approval of Congress or the American people, and it’s leading toward a future that is so aggressive even the left-leaning Newsweek warns it’s…

“The End of American freedom.” 

Freedom of speech … gone. 


Freedom of religion … gone. 

Freedom of self-defense … gone.

And the financial shockwaves will be catastrophic …

But, deep down inside, you already know these outcomes are inevitable… don’t you … because they’ve already begun.

Inflation is at a 40-year high.


The stock market is the ugliest it’s been in 50 year.

By clicking the button below this presentation will show you all the evidence … the facts … much of it hidden under piles of government misinformation and flat-out lies.

Biden’s Agenda vs. Trump’s Obsession: Voters Split on the Lesser Evil
By Gerard Baker 

There may not have been the much-anticipated red wave last week, but there was a fair-sized Republican tide in terms of the popular vote that doesn’t seem to have been reflected in the number of congressional seats the party won. Don’t hold your breath waiting for an outraged media to tell us how American democracy is fatally flawed.

There are still votes to be counted (thanks, California, technology capital of the world, which tallies ballots at the pace of an 18th-century English rotten borough) and the final number may change, but as it stands, Republicans are leading the aggregate vote in the 435 House races by about 52% to 47%.

In the 2020 election, Democratic House votes exceeded Republican ones by 3 percentage points. If this year’s numbers hold, that represents a swing in the margin of almost 8 points. For comparison, in 2018, which was generally reported as a wipeout for the Republicans and a repudiation of President Trump, the two-party swing was about 9.5 points. That time the Democrats gained 41 seats. This time the Republican gain may be held to fewer than 10.

Put another way, on the last two occasions in which Republicans received between 51% and 52% of the House vote in a midterm election, they won 242 seats in 2010, and 247 seats in 2014, for majorities of 49 and 59 seats. This year, with a similar vote share, they may end up winning 219 or 220 seats, a majority of three or five.

It’s even possible that the Democrats could hold their House majority in an election in which a majority of voters seem to have chosen Republicans. Surely principled Democrats must now start to demand changes to the way Americans pick the House as they have insisted must be done with the Electoral College and the Senate.

There are qualifications. Not all House seats are contested, and more Republicans than Democrats ran without opposition this year. That will have suppressed the total Democratic vote. But there were six districts in California where, because of the top-two “jungle primary” system, only Democrats were on the general-election ballot. That would have suppressed the GOP vote. Still, it seems likely that there was a mismatch this year between Republican gains among voters and gains in seats.

So what happened?

The demographic changes in the composition of the GOP vote may be making the party’s election performance less efficient than in the past. With surveys last week showing significant Republican gains among Hispanic and black voters, the party’s share might have been significantly boosted in deep-blue urban districts, where it still lagged way behind the Democrats’. Second, there were fewer competitive districts this year, in part because of redistricting.

But how much was the result of targeted voting—the conscious rejection by voters in competitive districts of Republicans associated with Donald Trump and his “Stop the Steal” fixation?

It will take time to compile a thorough analysis of how and why individual races turned. But it’s widely acknowledged now from Senate and governor races that the Trump factor was significant—the differential performance between Trumpy Senate candidates and non-Trumpy gubernatorial candidates in Ohio and Georgia, for example, and hefty defeats for the Trumpiest of gubernatorial candidates in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin are too striking to ignore.

In the House there is intriguing scattered evidence of a similar pattern. In Michigan’s Third District, Rep. Peter Meijer voted to impeach Mr. Trump after the Jan. 6 riots. He lost renomination in a primary to a Trump supporter, John Gibbs, who went down by 13 points in a district Mr. Trump won in 2020 by 3 points.

In Washington’s Third District, Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, another Republican impeachment supporter who was ousted in a primary, won her district two years ago by 13 points. Last week her Trump-backed successor lost to a Democrat.

In Colorado’s Third District, uber-Trumpy conspiracy theorist Rep. Lauren Boebert is essentially tied with her Democratic opponent in a district Mr. Trump won by 6 points.

These scattered cases can’t explain the wider discrepancy between House votes and seats, and some Trumpy candidates won handily too. But it seems that in many competitive districts Republicans should have won, voters were turned off by the party’s continuing flirtation—or worse—with those who would undo a previous election.

Americans seem to have voted in solid numbers for Republicans to take back the House and block President Biden’s progressive agenda. But across the country, in elections for House, Senate, governor and, strikingly, secretary of state—Trump supporters campaigning to take charge of states’ electoral system almost all lost—election deniers and Trump acolytes were routed.

There’s a message in there somewhere.

This from a friend and fellow memo reader and I am in total support.  If you cannot take a partial day out of your schedule to do something sacred and be informed for the survival of our nation then best you not participate and allow others to run with the baton.

There should be a 2 week window to vote in person, no absentee ballots, unless, you are out of town or disabled.  Mail in ballots, led to ballot harvesting and fraud, just as they did in the 2020 election.

Our State Department would not make these independent comments but feels free to do so when it is Israel.  Does this reach the level of interfering in an independent nation's campaigning? Obama did everything he could to defeat Bibi. He failed.

US Jewish group slams State Department condemnation of Ben-Gvir
Rabbinic group accuses State Department of 'blatant double standard' over its condemnation of MK Ben-Gvir attending Rabbi Kahane's memorial.
By Ned Price

Coalition for Jewish Values, representing over 2,000 rabbis in American public policy, on Monday criticized U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price for a "blatant double standard" on support for terrorism.

This came after Price claimed that Israeli Knesset member Itamar Ben-Gvir “celebrat[ed] the legacy of a terrorist organization” by attending a commemoration of the 32nd anniversary of the assassination of Rabbi Meir Kahane.

“Attending a memorial for a murder victim is hardly ‘celebrating’ terror,” said CJV Rabbinic Circle Chair Rabbi Avrohom Gordimer, “especially as Ben-Gvir carefully said that he did not agree with the deceased’s positions."

"But more significantly, if the United States Department of State were genuinely concerned with support for terrorism, it would not be enhancing its relationship with the Palestinian Authority, much less providing funding that ends up indirectly financing its infamous ‘Pay to Slay’ program.”

The Palestinian Authority (PA) makes large, ongoing payments via a “Martyrs Fund” to the families of those killed, injured or imprisoned in the course of committing a terror attack in Israel.

In 2018 Congress passed and President Trump signed the Taylor Force Act, named after a United States Army veteran who was brutally stabbed and killed during a visit to Israel in 2016, to condition further aid to PA territory, including the Gaza Strip, on “steps by the Palestinian Authority to end violence and terrorism against Israeli citizens.”

Reports indicate that the Biden Administration has bypassed this common-sense restriction, providing funding to the PA while the latter continues to incite and reward terrorism.

Just this month, the PA Commission of Civil Affairs portrayed the perpetrator of a car ramming attack as a “martyr” who had “ascended to Heaven.” The PA also used female terrorists as examples of women’s empowerment in its territory.

“The bottom line is that Rabbi Kahane never murdered anyone, while the Palestinian Authority, a union of terror organizations, instigates and lauds murders on a daily basis, following the model of its founder, Yasser Arafat, who was a State Department favorite beginning in the 1990’s,” concluded CJV Israel Regional Vice President Rabbi Steven Pruzansky.

“The State Department is funding the PA’s ongoing support for terror while rushing to wrongly condemn Ben-Gvir for attending a memorial service for someone who died over three decades ago. This reflects both an egregious violation of American law and a blatant double standard, at odds with the State Department’s proclamations of neutral and fair treatment. We can and should expect better from the U.S. Government and its officials.”

How to have political is agreements without ruining relationships

This week on our SubstackJulian Adorney writes about the increasingly common phenomenon of losing friends or loved ones over political disagreements and how to navigate those difficult conversations.

“The soldier has one goal: to win the battle, protect their side, and defeat the enemy. The soldier isn't interested in shades of gray or in finding common ground; he's interested in winning. Given our tribal roots, the soldier mindset is highly adaptive. When you're at war with a rival tribe, letting down your sword to mull over how your opponents might actually have a point is a good way to get killed.

The scout, however, has a different goal: to understand. She wants to find the truth, because getting an accurate picture of the situation—whether it’s the terrain, the location and numbers of the enemy, or the weather—is essential to helping her side succeed. The scout approaches the problems of the world dispassionately, like a researcher, unblinkered by ideological biases or motivated reasoning.

You may be thinking that times are tough, the stakes are high, and the soldier is what is needed right now. But, in the words of Abraham Lincoln during perhaps the greatest period of strife in our nation’s history, “We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.” If Lincoln can think that during the Civil War, we can certainly think it now.”

Apparently the Russian General in charge of Putin's forces has been authorized to degrade as much of Ukraine's energy grid as he can and thus why energy investments continue to make sense at this time.

Ukraine’s Energy Grid Might Be Compromised

(FiveNation.com)- Ukraine’s energy grid might be compromised as President Volodymyr Zelensky warns that the country is preparing for a “humanitarian crisis,” according to a report from the defense and national security website 19FortyFive. Zelensky claims that Russian strikes have cut more than 40% of the country’s infrastructure, telling the European Commission for Energy that they have stopped exporting energy to Europe as a result.

“Virtually all” of Ukraine’s non-nuclear power stations have been hit by Russia’s attacks, according to Volodymyr Kudrytskyi, the head of Ukraine’s national grid Ukrenergo.

“This is the biggest missile attack on electricity infrastructure in history,” Kudrytskyi said. “Therefore, the impact is huge. Unfortunately, the situation is critical. They are trying to specifically destroy the Ukrainian power system, and this supplies tens of millions of the population.”

Zelensky called Russia’s strikes “energy terrorism,” saying that they have “discussed further steps to ensure Ukraine’s energy security, as well as the issue of strengthening energy sanctions against the Russian Federation.”

Halting exports may not reportedly be enough for Ukrainians already suffering from blackouts caused by Russia’s efforts to reduce the country’s counter-offensive capabilities in its newly “annexed” regions.

Putin announced the annexation of 15% of Ukraine’s territory, including Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and the self-declared independent People’s Republics of Donetsk and Luhansk during a speech in September.

Zelensky, who said that Russia launched a “wide-scale” missile campaign, added that Ukrainian forces were responding to the threat and had shot down 18 of 33 cruise missiles before they hit their target.

“Of course, we don’t yet have the technical ability to knock down 100 percent of the Russian missile and drone strikes,” Zelenskyy said. “I am sure that, gradually, we will achieve that, with help from our partners.”

Russia’s attacks reportedly come amid a strike on the Nord Stream pipelines, which Putin attributes to Ukraine, “British experts,” and the United States.

The comment was echoed by a former Pentagon insider that said the United States and Great Britain likely sabotaged the Nord Stream pipelines to prevent Germany from bailing out on Ukraine during its war with Russia after its chancellor said that he was not going to send any more weapons, according to Summit News.

Finally, a punk with a crazy hairdo has run a Crypto company into bankruptcy.  The money he raised was laundered back into the Democrat Party.  Even Ukraine invested American Tax money into this punk's company.  I have no proof beyond my nose but I would not be surprised. After all,  since Ukraine was  was involved Joe's son could have vacuumed up some of the Crypto bucks.

There is also sexual activity involved and a young girl, with less talent than Hunter, acted as the chief investment officer.
