In his December 23 video, Dr. Steve Turley summed up two possible roads to victory for President Trump in Congress on Jan. 6, starting with a congressional challenge to disputed Biden electors:

“First, you have to have an objection filed and endorsed by at least one US senator and one US representative.  And once filed and endorsed, both chambers of Congress...have to have a debate – I believe it's stated to be a two-hour debate – over the merits and demerits of the objection, and then a simple majority is enough to overturn the electors. 

Or second, you've got Vice President Mike Pence poised to make the final decision as to whether to certify the electors after the debate.”

Millions of patriots have fight in them as the country confronts the greatest threat to the Republic since the Civil War.  Historic elections fraud, centered on the presidential contests, involving gross criminality make it so.

Whereas many patriots are ready to fight to restore the rule of law and our liberties, others express gloom and defeat.  The fix is in, they claim.  If Trump doesn’t secure a second term, then all is lost, they bemoan.  The powerful cabal that Biden fronts will run the board over 48 months.  A long, dark night will descend on America.

Here’s a modest proposal: Wars aren’t over until they’re fought.

“To defeat Trump,” writes Victor Davis Hanson, “many of our institutions were deformed.”

Indeed, we have witnessed a flagrant burlesque of electoral procedure, including the specter of foreign interference by China, Iran and Russia via Dominion Voting Systems in gerrymandering electoral results, as Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe has confirmed.

And there will be lasting consequences. The effect of installing a parodic figure like Joe Biden, straight out of the Commedia dell’Arte, as the next president of the United States will result in three extremely destabilizing factors. They are:

Yes, he’s Mike Pence.  Here’s why and how.

As we all know, the President of the United States isn’t actually elected by the popular vote. He’s elected by the college of presidential electors from each US state. The important question then is: Who counts the votes cast by the presidential electors?

That is clearly specified by the 12^th Amendment of the Constitution:

“The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted.”

And who, then, is the President of the Senate?  Article 1, Section 3, Clause 4 of the Constitution answers it clearly:

Yesterday (12/23), President Trump played “The Pence Card” with this tweet.  Attached to it is a memorandum appended below.

For the most part, Americans assume that the Vice President lacks power. The President may assign him responsibilities, but the Constitution does not. Instead, he’s the understudy, there just in case something happens to the president.

Except that, in this strange year of 2020, we may learn that the Vice President is the most powerful man in America. Ivan Raiklin, a constitutional lawyer, claims that the Constitution grants Mike Pence the power to overturn a manifestly fraudulent election.

Here is what POTUS is asking Pence to do.

[Newt speaks for me, and every patriot in America – JW]

A smart friend of mine who is a moderate liberal asked why I was not recognizing Joe Biden’s alleged victory.

The friend made the case that Mr. Biden had gotten more (electoral) votes, and historically we recognize the person with the most. Normally, we accept the outcome of elections just as we accept the outcomes of sporting events.

So, my friend asked why was 2020 different?

If the courts refuse to award the presidency to the rightful victor, the anti-Trump cabal, driven by a four-year single-minded obsession to defeat President Trump, will have committed the greatest political blunder in American history -- the unabashed and overt theft of the 2020 presidential election.

These conspirators smugly believed that they had successfully set up a scenario wherein Donald Trump would be defeated in such a massive landslide that a vast majority of the citizenry would never question the results.  Instead, the worst-case scenario played out.

Thus, this cabal, which consists of the Democrat party establishment, Tech and Wall Street billionaires, the mainstream media and left-wing elitists, will find itself in a quagmire of being unable to govern.

The nation’s current divide is partly geographic but mostly cultural and juridical.

The Texas-led states now stand for the rule of law and the civil rights protections of the 1868 14th Amendment. The California-led states now seek to undo over 150 years of human rights laws so that they can override the suffrage and petitions of a “suspect class” (Republicans).

Half the country believes the Nov. 3 election was illegitimate because they share Texas’s understanding of what citizen rights are and what constitutes evidence.

Half the country believes the election was legitimate because they share California’s understanding of citizen rights as framed by context and by goals, with any means being justified by the right goals, depending on the group involved.

For the first time in anyone’s living memory, we have to contend with the real possibility that the United States will split into separate nations. Looking at history, I’ve come upon the following possible precedents in history that may help us understand the potential outcomes.
