am really tired of hearing that Trump is a "threat to democracy." Democrats seem to be repeating this mantra endlessly. Actually, they are right, but you have to understand what they really mean. Let's make a distinction between two flavors of democracy: democracy: rule by the people “Democracy”: rule by Democrats, specifically by members of the Democratic party Trump is truly a threat to “Democracy.” When Democrats make this claim, they really mean that he is a threat to their ascendancy, but they want you to think that they mean that he is a threat to rule by the people.

In other words, Trump supporters are a threat to Democrat-cy; or in other words "democracy" as it's used in the phrase "The Peoples' Democratic Republic of Slobovia".

I wish to see the mantra "threat to democracy" and Trump is an authoritarian as a glimmer of hope that my democrat neighbors do not wish to surrender to a authoritarian dictatorship and in some form wish to preserve a government of the people. But I fear they use that because they know those are our soft spots and they truly believe the common people are better off ruled by some upper echelon of our superiors.

I have been saying that for years. It is so obvious! Put the word out to your friends that "you keep using that word but it doesn't mean what you think it means".

Our side needs to embrace every mantra the dims claim against Trump and throw it back on them. Because everything they claim against Trump is what they are doing. They're telling us how to attack them and when we throw it back on them, it resonates loud and clear - it just fits so well.

“Democracy” is a code word for the left meaning “democrat party power”. I’ve been posting the above sentence on this site for years. Nice that Tinnell has finally figured it out.

Or, to put it another way, the dims, msm, deep state, and the never-Trumpers desire strongly to eliminate the United States of America, as founded. Yes, democracy is a code word for the United Socialist States of Amerika.

Joe Biden is currently shedding young and minority voters at breakneck speed, prompting concerned progressives to ponder the reason as to why this is happening. Biden has clearly been struggling with nonwhite voters, and that’s a huge problem for Democrats when you consider that four-in-ten Democrat voters are nonwhite. But while his lead has softened among black and Hispanic voters, it’s his bleeding young voters that has to be most distressing for Democrats. In swing states, which are the only states that matter in any presidential election, the vote tally in 2020 among voters under the age of 30 suggested a 23-point lead over Trump.

WILMINGTON, Delaware — Yesterday, a 12-person jury was swiftly selected in the gun trial of Hunter Biden. Behind him sat First Lady Jill Biden in a show of solidarity. Seated next to her was Hunter's current wife, Melissa Cohen, and his half-sister, Ashley Biden, making the criminal proceedings feel like family court. An assembly of Secret Service agents surrounded the Biden family. Of the jury pool, many knew the Bidens in some way. It was like six degrees of separation: Delaware edition. One potential juror said he used to play squash with Beau Biden, Hunter's late brother, and competed in at least one tournament together.

When an elderly relative is dying and the inevitable finally arrives, it still hurts a great deal. From the beginning, I had no faith in the legal process that has convicted Donald Trump in New York. Taking into account the prosecutor, the charges, the venue, the biased judicial oversight, and the sui generis nature of the proceedings, it was pretty obvious the fix was in from the beginning. But his conviction is a depressing spectacle all the same. It felt like we woke up in a different country on Friday. Until the news arrived, I had not completely lost hope. After all, it was a jury trial.

Another criminal referral to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) soon may be made by members of the U.S. Congress to investigate Dr. Anthony Fauci for lying under oath to Congress, which is a felony crime. Representative Jim Comer, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, soon may follow Senator Rand Paul in requesting that the DOJ to criminally investigate Fauci for lying under oath to Congress. But lying to Congress does not even begin to compare with or address the horrendous amount of suffering and death caused by the toxic health care policies and hospital protocols developed and promulgated by Anthony Fauci

Lenard Larry McKelvey, aka ‘Charlamagne Tha God,’ went on CNN over the weekend and dropped a take on the Trump guilty verdict that wasn’t shocking. However, it continues to send the Left into cardiac arrest, especially those in CNN’s front office. The liberal media is doing a full-court press in selling the ‘Trump is a felon’ talking point. No one cares, especially those in the Republican Party who think this hush money trial in Manhattan, for which former President Donald Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts, was a political witch hunt.

The Obama/Biden/Soros cabal is nearing its fourth term running America, driving this once great nation into the ditch of communism and tyranny. Last week, America finally crossed the Rubicon from a nation of liberty and the rule of law to a banana republic thugocracy where the ruling party indicts, arrests, and imprisons its political opposition. The Rubicon is a boundary or limiting line. The expression is a few thousand years old, In 49 B.C., Julius Caesar led his army to the banks of the Rubicon, a small river that marked the boundary between Italy and Gaul.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) on Monday testified before a House Select Subcommittee on the Covid origins, lockdowns and phony medical guidance. Dr. Fauci was the face of the Covid lockdowns, unnecessary masking, social distancing, and lies about the ‘Wuhan lab leak’ theory. During his testimony on Monday, citing faulty analysis by elitist media doctor and Covid vaccine promotor Dr. Peter Hotez, Fauci said the unvaccinated are responsible for an additional 200,000 – 300,000 COVID deaths.

Waters also said Trump is pushing America toward a civil war. “Let me just say this, I am worried that he is so divisive and that he is talking about retribution and about revenge and I think that is dangerous. He has even mentioned civil war saying there will be bloodshed,” Waters said. “I will spend some time with the criminal justice system, with the justice system asking them, tell us what’s going on with the domestic terrorists?

Donald Trump has been convicted by a jury in Manhattan. “I was convicted. I’m appealing!” Most of us have a TV legal drama perspective. I rise to shine light on this process so that we can properly understand how a guilty verdict was reached in a case where Donald Trump did nothing illegal, immoral, or fattening. A prosecution must satisfy conditions laid out in the Constitution, which is, should anyone forget, the highest law of the land. It specifies safeguards for the legal process. In the 5th Amendment, we find “No person… shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law…”

Just days after former President Donald Trump was found guilty by 12 Manhattan jurors in a sham trial that should have been nothing more than a misdemeanor, people are wondering how Trump would be protected if he goes to jail. In an unprecedented outcome, challenges arise for how the Secret Service would adapt if corrupt Judge Juan Merchan sentences Trump to prison. In a statement to Fox News Digital, the Secret Service said the guilty verdict "has no bearing on the manner in which the United States Secret Service carries out its protective mission.” “Our security measures will proceed unchanged,"

Another new version of the Covid-19 vaccine will probably be coming this fall. The US Food and Drug Administration’s committee of independent advisers voted unanimously Wednesday to recommend that the agency tell vaccine manufacturers to update the Covid-19 shots so they will be more effective against the JN.1 lineage of the coronavirus. The committee voted on the question, “For the 2024-2025 Formula of COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S., does the committee recommend a monovalent JN.1-lineage vaccine composition?” All 16 of the advisers voted “yes.” The decision now goes to the full FDA. If the agency agrees with its advisory committee, the new shot will be a monovalent vaccine, offering protection

President Joe Biden squatted down during ceremonies commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day in France on Thursday, then awkwardly held the position before correcting himself while other dignitaries remained standing. The odd moment came after Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron greeted surviving heroes of the Normandy invasion, as a military band played somber music. Biden, 81, then bent his knees as if preparing to sit before momentarily freezing. His wife Jill - who sometimes guides her husband off stage during public events - covered her mouth and scratched the area above her upper lip.

According to ABC 7, over 100 hydrants have been stolen this year alone. One resident, Krystal Cousins lives between two fire hydrants in the Florence-Firestone area. She told reporters that both of them were stolen on Thursday. "It's mind-boggling that someone would just come into a neighborhood and just steal a fire hydrant," neighbor Krystail Cousins said.
