Christ before the Sanhedrin (Wikipedia commons)

The High Priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his doctrine. Jesus answered him saying:

“I have spoken publicly to the world. I have always taught in a synagogue or in the temple area where the Jews gather and in secret I have said nothing. Why ask me? Ask those who heard me what I said to them. They know what I said.”

When he said this, one of the temple guards standing there struck him and said: “Is this the way you answer the High Priest?” Jesus answered him:

If I have spoken wrongly, testify to the wrong, but if I have spoken rightly, why do you strike me?”

John 18:19-23

As everyone knows Charlie Kirk was a follower of Jesus Christ and it seems they had one thing in common.

Jesus was accused of all sorts of wrong by the Sanhedrin but despite speaking publicly in front of multitudes they were unable to find testimony that showed him guilty of anything.

Likewise we see Democrats from AOC to Ilan Omar along with multiple celebs and activists on the left claim that Charlie Kirk was a racist, a fascist, a homophobe and a white supremacist, they call him head of the modern Hitler youth, when they’re not cheering his murder that is or booing the idea of praying for him & his family.

But there is one thing that they DON’T do. They never link to video to back up these claims.

This is rather odd if you think about it. Charlie Kirk like Christ, spoke openly, he was at campus’ all over the nation and was interviewed all over the world. There are literally hundreds of videos showing him taking questions and answering them going back years. You don’t have to ask the people who heard him as Christ suggested, you can literally see what he said.

Yet none of these leftist calling Kirk all these names do so, why?

Well the answer comes from Catholic Cardinal who had no idea who Charlie Kirk was.


Here is the quote:

Timothy Cardinal Dolan on Charlie Kirk – “The more I learned about him, I thought this guy is a modern-day Saint Paul. He was a missionary, an evangelist, a hero.”

You see not knowing who Charlie was and not being familiar with his work he went online and checked out the videos and came to the conclusion that he was a hero.

And THAT’S why the left doesn’t dare link to any video to support their charges, because a person seeing the videos, the questions and the answers will see for themselves that their charges are unsubstantiated by the facts and that they are in fact liars.

The irony here is that Charlie, being very familiar with scripture would expect nothing less because as a servant of Christ he would remember the warning given to his disciples during the last supper discourses:

If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own; but because you do not belong to the world, and I have chosen you out of the world, the world hates you.

Remember the word I spoke to you,  ‘No slave is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. And they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin; but as it is they have no excuse for their sin. Whoever hates me also hates my Father.

John 15:18-23

The world hated Charlie Kirk, because the world is loyal to the prince of the world. That’s why those loyal to the prince of this world cheered his death loudly and publicly.

“You have done this deed in secret, but I will bring it about in the presence of all Israel, and with the sun looking down.'”

2 Samuel 12:12

One of the arguments I’ve been making over the past few years is that nobody should be surprised at the level of deceit, double dealing and corruption in the Biden Administration for the simple reason that people who steal an election don’t steal it for the sake of altruism. If a group of people are willing to steal a national election to gain power, obviously lying about the health of the president, not helping citizens devastated by natural disasters (remember the train derailment in Palestine preceded North Carolina by years) and using a foreign war and/or the power of the pardon as a personal slush fund is not going to be beyond them.

The thing is eventually stuff like this gets exposed and those who played along for personal or professional reasons are suddenly shocked SHOCKED that such things have been going on.

That is what happened yesterday when the 3rd stopgap measure passed overwhelmingly minus over 900 pages of fluff and graft that had been inserted in to gain democrat favor, but I want to point to a particular piece of this story that has broken out loud and long.

One of the talking points we have heard from the left is how cancer research was being funded in that bill and how the people looking for that research were hoping to get the funding they desperately needed and then Elon Musk tweeted and the kids with cancer were denied. Here is Sam Stein in the Bulwark:

 By December 19, the provision had been axed from the bill, after Musk went on an X rampage, tweeting that the bill was a Christmas tree that was antithetical to conservative, small-government ambitions and threatening the primary lawmakers who supported it.

Nancy Goodman, the founder and executive director of Kids v. Cancer, called it “a completely heart-wrenching outcome.” Like Ellyn Miller, her child died of cancer (succumbing at the age of 10 to medulloblastoma). And like Ellyn Miller, Goodman had turned her grief into advocacy. She spent four years working on the Give Kids a Chance Act, which would have allowed FDA authorization of combination cancer treatments.

“We spent a lot of time putting together policies with broad bipartisan support to help kids seriously ill,” she said in an interview with The Bulwark. “How can it be that our society is not thinking about the most vulnerable children and doing everything they can to help them? How can we cut this out in the name of efficiency? How does that make sense?”

Goodman said she began to fear for the worst on Wednesday when she got calls from several staffers relaying that House Republican leadership was worried about the fate of the compromise bill and was trying to whip support for it. Those staffers suggested that she and others put together a letter from doctors and advocates and anyone in the pediatric cancer leadership community urging that it remain in the bill. They got more than 740 people to sign on.

Mr. Stein’s article was long and detailed but it did manage to leave out one rather significant fact.

It was that a stand alone bill for this funding had in fact ALREADY passed the House of Representatives in MARCH of this year and was sitting in the senate.

The text of the tweet:

Why are you leaving out the fact that it passed as a stand alone bill last March but was never brought up for a vote in nine months in Chuck Schumer’s Senate?

Maybe it’s just me but I think that might be a significant part of the story.

Glenn Reynolds asked the obvious questions:

And why didn’t these “cancer research advocates” know that their bill had passed the House ages ago and was now languishing in the Democratic Senate so that it could be used as a hostage against Republicans?

And why didn’t journalist Sam Stein know that, or choose to share it with his readers?

Reynolds suggested the answer was that he is an MSNBC contributor and writes for the Bulwark

Stein having been caught with a huge lie of omission then pivoted, blaming Rand Paul for this bill not being passed as he refused to allow unanimous consent to pass without making sure that the funding was not duplicating itself, that is, was not already funded by a different department, which is something that makes sense when you have a gigantic deficit.

But this as well has problems three to be percise:

  1. The bill does not have to come up by unanimous consent, it can be brought to a vote under regular order.
  2. Chuck Schumer and the Democrat Senate never made this bill a priority nor complained to the press about the Paul hold in 9 months
  3. The Biden administration never once pushed for the passage of that bill.
  4. Maybe it’s just me but given that the GOP was poised to take the senate in an election year and Donald Trump was on the ballot, an issue like “Senior GOP senator blocks bill for child cancer funding” might have been a strong issue. Kamala could have mentioned it in speeches, Trump and Vance could have been asked about it during debates and it could have been used in Senate races saying: “This is what happens when the GOP has power.”

Now you might think that any one of these things, particularly the 3rd would have been a no-brainer but apparently an issue that could be used to push hundreds of pages of graft and corruption was more important than using the power well you’d think wrong.

So alas for the left, this entire narrative fell on its face, except of course with those who remain in the bubble and refuse to leave it, but with ordinary Americans, the face of the press and the left was once again exposed for the people they were.

Didn’t surprise me of course, but this is the type of thing that people who usually don’t pay attention will notice.

Closing thought: With the exposing of the duplicity of the Biden Administration, the Democrat Senate and the Press on this issue the Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act was no longer a useful tool to push forward 1300+ pages of the left’s graft. In fact every day that it remained unpassed by the Senate made it a visible liability for the Democrat left, the Biden Administration and the Media Narrative.

So guess what bill got passed by the Still Democrat Controlled Senate Last night?

Why it’s a Christmas Miracle!

Scott Pelley: Did you, well, she had pneumonia. I mean –

Mike Cernovich: How do you know?

Scott Pelley: Well, because that’s what was reported.

Mike Cernovich: By whom? Who told you that?

Scott Pelley: Well, the campaign told us that.

Mike Cernovich: Why would you trust a campaign?

There are four days till election day. Tens of Millions of people have already voted and every single bit of the next four days campaigning both in person and online is to convince you of their message.

The basic Trump message is that we have momentum and the only thing that can keep us from winning is cheating.

The basic Harris message is we’re still in this and the tide is going our way.

Additionally there are a ton of paid surrogates online (For the record I’m not one of them) out to spin people toward these things.

I presume that anyone whose living depending on advancing a narrative is going to earn their money.

So don’t assume anything asserted is automatically true, even if it advances the side you are for and as for the media and spokesmen remember this key phrase from my favorite Yes Prime Minister episode when the PM tell his press secretary to release a statement about some troop movements: EMPHASIS MINE

James Hacker : [phone rings]  Oh, yes, Paul. You know you have an airborne battalion on standby in Germany? Never mind how I know. Well, since it’s not being used, I want them to fly straight off to St George’s Island. Sort of between Africa and India. A goodwill visit. Just showing the flag. They have been invited. Yes. Leave in… six hours. Yes, an instant goodwill visit. Tell your press office to announce it at once. No, no, leave me out of it. A routine visit. All right – a routine surprise visit. Well, say they were invited earlier, but the NATO exercise got in the way. Now they’re not needed, they’re going anyway. All right. Nobody knows it’s not true. Press statements aren’t delivered under oath.

Have faith in God, from all others demand evidence, particularly until things are all over.

James Taylor: This is the works! Either we’re out of business or bigger than ever before.

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington 1939

I have said for years that the only reason why Donald Trump won in 2016 was that the Democrat Bosses believed the polls and thought that Trump had no prayer, thus when Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania suddenly were going for Trump on election night the Democrats did not have the apparatus in place to steal the election.

(The tell for this was the VERY long delay in calling the final states to put Trump over the top and the fact that when those states were called, they were all called within a few minutes of each other. Once they realized they couldn’t pull it off, they left the numbers be released.)

At the time I warned

However that won’t be the case in 2020,  I’ll wager that in 2020 the bosses in Milwaukee, Detroit, Madison and elsewhere will be ready, we’ll see plenty of mail in ballots and absentee ballots that we didn’t see before in those states and plenty of voters looking to go for the GOP will be in the same spot that Steven Kruiser was on election night.

We have four years to prepare for this so we’d better get ready because as our friends on the left have demonstrated in the past, they play for keeps.

After all you don’t think Soros has been quietly sinking millions into AG races, you know the people who would be protesting election fraud on a local level, just because it’s fun?

And sure enough the Trump White House didn’t take the best advice I had ever given and the steal went forward and state officials and judges dismissed case after case (many times on standing) and (unknown at the time) Federal officials thanks to both action and inaction turned what was going to be a large but peaceful rally on January 6th into an excuse to jail dozens if not hundreds in jail in the hope of setting an example, protest the steal, have your life changed forever.

Now it’s 2024. All the apparatus for the steal is still in place and the preparations made ready long ago but several wild cards came into play that had not been anticipated and the one thing that was, didn’t turn out as expected.

  • Bobby Kennedy decided to run for President and the move to block him from the Democrat primaries and then from the ballot when he decided to go independent drove him to Trump
  • Despite getting the candidate they wanted (Donald Trump) the Democrats discovered that he had learned from his previous mistake and pushed both early voting and ballot harvesting that had been the mainstay of Democrat steal efforts.
  • Joe Biden’s debate performance exposed the entire MSM, already having credibility problems, as liars who had been protecting him for months if not years and blunted them as an effective weapon.
  • The move to push Biden off the ticket angered his team to the point where Biden while being forced to buckle to pressure, threw them a curve and forced them to take Kamala Harris as their leader.
  • The use of lawfare against Trump completely backfired as he completely refused to be cower from the prospect of Jail as did Steve Bannon who went in and came out defiant while people who didn’t like Trump were appalled at the use of the government to imprison political foes
  • Red State Governors like Ron DeSantis exporting their illegals to “Sanctuary Cities” in blue states at a volume where the problem of illegal immigration affected Democrat voter blocs
  • Their move to squash any potential opposition to Kamala outraged many Democrats (particularly I suspect Bernie voters) who realized their votes for Biden in the primary not only counted for nothing, but found there were not going to be given another chance to vote.
  • The (their?) assassination attempt(s) on Trump not only failed but Trump demonstrated a courage and defiance that they had not anticipated completely changing many peoples perception of him.
  • The combination of:
    • Democrats in general and Kamala’s attacks on men in particular
    • Trump’s reaction to the attempt to kill him
    • Illegal immigration finally affecting blue states
  • ….finally started driving Black and Latino voters (particularly men) to him
  • Trump’s outreach to Bobby Kennedy which turned an opponent into an ally.
  • The exceptional choice of J.D. Vance who has proved spectacular on the national stage both as a candidate and a foil to the media
  • The utter ineptness of Kamala Harris as a candidate even in scripted situations.
  • A result so obvious that places like the LA Times, USA Today and the Washington Post are unwilling to endorse the Democrat candidate for the white house

and finally and most importantly

  • Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter and his decision to open the gates of free speech breaking the monopoly of the Deep state/tech state on information

All of this has us in a position where a week away from the election not only is Trump leading in all the swing states with a bunch of early votes banked in many states but he is expanding the map to places where like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan in 2016, the apparatus for a steal is not in place and likely can’t be put in place in time.

In short we are in a position where while the apparatus is in place in key states to steal and election you have a strong likely hood that it would fail because of

  • Increased vigilance
  • A larger margin to overcome
  • A candidate even less credible then LOL 81 million Joe

All of this puts us back to the same formula I postulated 8 years ago:

If 
(Number of votes you can get away stealing) > (Number of votes you might lose by)

Then

Go For it!

Else

Release your vote totals as is

Endif

You will not I have bolded the key phrase get away because we are at a point where it is not only likely that a steal might fail do to the volume of the vote, but the dissatisfaction of the electorate has, in my opinion, reached a point where officials held their noses and went along with the steal last time because they disliked Trump might decide against playing ball.

Furthermore if the steal DOES fail you will not only get a Trump administration with a Trump AG and a bunch of new Trump lawyers at Justice but you will get a Trump administration that has had an election stolen from them hell bent on getting those who did tried to do it to them again.

That is the risk/reward that is now in place for the dishonest and dishonorable undemocratic left. Do they go Jim Taylor and go all in figuring that a 2nd administration in a row will allow them to cement power to the point where Washington will be Chicago forevermore or do they decide to go George Paar the Duke of Duval county figuring they will hold their fire and keep their heads down for the opening they need to return to power.

Regardless of what they dishonest and dishonorable left do we should assume they are going all Jim Taylor and go all out to beat them.
