NO LONGER RESISTANCE, IT’S INSURRECTION THAT MUST BE STOPPED COLD

american-insurrectionAfter nearly four years, we’ve arrived at the end game, the final, violent cry of the “resistance” as it continues to try to overturn the results of the 2016 election and tip the United States of America irreversibly toward anarchy and socialism.

Aided and abetted by the mainstream media and the majority of Democrat politicians, the current unrest sweeping the country is being presented as “dissent” and “protest” but is, in fact, insurrection. It’s time to put it down, hard.

Although the media would have you believe otherwise, we’ve been down this road as a nation before, and dealt with insurrection decisively.  It’s time for President Trump to do the same – and there is no question that he has the law on his side.

SEND IN THE TROOPS

Senator Tom Cotton
Senator Tom Cotton

[New York Times journos are in “open revolt” over the egregiousness of publishing a view opposing theirs.  TTP salutes Senator Cotton for his courage.  This op-ed was in the NY Times yesterday 6/03]

This week, rioters have plunged many American cities into anarchy, recalling the widespread violence of the 1960s.

These rioters, if not subdued, not only will destroy the livelihoods of law-abiding citizens but will also take more innocent lives. Many poor communities that still bear scars from past upheavals will be set back still further.

One thing above all else will restore order to our streets: an overwhelming show of force to disperse, detain and ultimately deter lawbreakers. But local law enforcement in some cities desperately needs backup, while delusional politicians in other cities refuse to do what’s necessary to uphold the rule of law.

HALF-FULL REPORT 05/29/20

potus-memorial-day-couragememorial-day-fearfuls

These two pictures of Memorial Day Commemoration on Monday (5/25) have starkly contrasting messages.  The one above projects courage to live without needless fear, the one below projects the necessity of needless fear.

Patricia McCarthy in her The Mask Police of the Left this week (5/27) notes that we didn’t have this virtue-signalling tyranny when the Chicom-Democrat-Media Virus was at its peak.  Now that we’re opening up and we know it’s no more or even less lethal than seasonal flu, all of a sudden everyone has to wear a mask. Why? Because:

MEMORIAL DAY FLAG SKYDIVE

My skydiving buddy Chris Wentzel and I made this flag jump on Memorial Day years ago to pay tribute to those in our military who gave their lives for America. I’m on the right, Chris on the left.  The jump was performed at the Skydive Perris drop zone in Perris, California.  It’s only fitting I post this on TTP in honor of those whom we memorialize in gratitude on this day.

CDM – THE CHICOM-DEMOCRAT-MEDIA VIRUS

china-coronavirus-weapon-of-demsYesterday (5/27), the Communist government of China ruled to end Hong Kong’s autonomy.  It is the latest perfidy demonstrating how the Beijing regime is humanity’s greatest enemy of freedom in the world today.

But only the latest – far from the worse.

Chinese Communist – or Chicom for short – evil is epitomized by its founder, Mao Tse-Tung, being listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the Greatest Mass Murderer in human history – and reconfirmed by scholar researchers in Mao’s Great Famine

And today, his political heirs in Beijing have pulled off a feat of utter depravity that would have made Mao proud.

ARE DEMS STUCK WITH JOE?

meet-joe-black If I could feel sorry for anyone on Team Biden – and forget that! – it would be for his press secretary, who must feel like the guy with the shovel who walks behind the elephants at the circus.

Slow Joe’s most recent gaffe makes plain why he (a) can’t be permitted to speak in public without a script; (b) can’t be permitted to speak for more than four or five minutes, tops, and (c) can’t be interviewed by anyone who isn’t a toady throwing softballs.

But as we’ll see below, they may be stuck with him.

HEY, AMERICA – STOP WORRYING!!!

stop-worrying-chartGood news! If you are under 65, in reasonably good health and do not have a vitamin D deficiency, you have only a tiny chance of dying from COVID-19.

And if you are younger than 34, your chances of dying from the virus are so small as to be almost statistically undetectable.

On the other hand, if you are 85 or older, are in a nursing home, have serious health problems and a vitamin D deficiency, you may be in real danger if you are exposed to the virus — but only a tiny portion of the population is in such a condition.

So, will we all please stop worrying now?

THE MASK POLICE OF THE LEFT

mask-policeThere have been several great columns on the debate over mask-wearing in public.  Scott McKay at American Spectator explains why the mask is essentially useless:  The mask is not an adequate defense against the COVID-19 virus, gang.

The virus checks in at somewhere between 0.06 and 0.14 microns, meaning it’s too small for any commercially available mask to effectively filter it out. The pores on an N95 mask, which are the best masks you’re reasonably going to find, are 0.3 microns.

The vast, vast majority of you are not going to have N95 masks but rather cloth masks, which perform far less well.

Over at Powerline, John Hinderaker  writes about how “wearing face masks has become a cultural divide….On the left, mask wearing has become a basic marker of good citizenship, no matter how silly it may be…”

TRUMP’S TRAP FOR TWITTER

Donald Trump ate Jack Dorsey’s lunch today
Donald Trump ate Jack Dorsey’s lunch today

Even Trump-supporters have wondered about Trump's tweets implying that MSNBC's Joe Scarborough had something to do with a young intern's death in his office when he was still a Florida congressman.

It's true that Scarborough and his co-host and wife Mika Brzezinksi have spent three years accusing Trump of treasonous collusion with the Russians, but Trump's venom still seemed strange.

I, however, don't think it was strange at all.  Trump is one of the most calculating, rational people ever to occupy the White House.

So Trump set a trap.  On Tuesday (5/26), the Twitter mouse took the bait.

THE DETRITUS OF OBAMA

“One is not struck by the truth until prompted quite accidentally by some external event.” — Kazuo Ishiguro, The Remains of the Day
“One is not struck by the truth until prompted quite accidentally by some external event.” — Kazuo Ishiguro, The Remains of the Day

Each day that the Obama administration fades into the past, its wrongdoings manage to wander back into the present.

After years of suppression, all sorts of strange events keep popping up to remind us of what little is left of the Obama. The list is so overwhelming and bizarre that it ensures that anything at any time can now appear.

And the result keeps reminding Americans of how corrupt were the years between 2009 and 2017 and how untruthful was the coverage of such institutionalized wrongdoing. Let us recount all the detritus of the failed Obama Presidency.

HALF-FULL REPORT 05/22/20

We’re Not Gonna Take It Anymore is now America’s Response to the Fascist Lockdowns:

 

Epic, isn’t it?  We’re right, we’re free, we’ll fight, you’ll see!  America is and will.  Originally composed in 1984 by Twisted Sister, it’s uncannily prescient today.

How, then, is Not Taking It Anymore being implemented?  There are several ways.  One of them involves putting Fascicrat Governors in jail.

HOW TO SEND THE LOCKDOWN GOVERNORS TO JAIL

nursing-home-have-no-right And bankrupt them as well.

You know their names.  Cuomo, Newsom, Whitmer, Inslee, Pritzker, Murphy, Northam, Wolf.  You know how their psycho lockdowns have ruined countless lives and businesses.

What you may not know is that one particular executive order of theirs has caused the death of hundreds, even thousands in their state – and for each one they can be criminally liable and sued personally.

We’ll start with New York’s Gov. Cuomo.

IT NEEDS TO END NOW

end-it-now-ny-post
NY Post cover today, May 21, 2020

Sometimes, a good rant is all a writer can offer. Bear with me.

Last Friday morning (5/15), some 3,500 New Yorkers lined up at a Catholic church in Queens to receive free food hours before it even opened, ­according to the New York Police Department. Catholic Charities has reported a 200 percent increase in demand over the past month and a half.

By prolonging the coronavirus shutdown long after its core mission was accomplished, Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio have plunged tens of thousands of New Yorkers into poverty.

It needs to end. Now.
