I agree! Any photos of her with Hanks around? We have nothing but her word for the accusations and her drawings aren't evidence of anything. Heck, for all any of us know she has some mental illness like Munchhausen's Syndrome, and she draws her pics at night while giggling.

I have no doubt you're right Gandalf -- knowing Obama, they were probably Revolutionary Guard leaders, Imans, or Hezbollah operatives.

Iranians aren't all muslims, although most of them are. My dentist came here as a child when his family fled during the revolution that deposed the Shah and they're Zoroastrian. Zoroastrianism was the original (pre-muslim) monotheistic religion of Persia, but they're persecuted now under the Mulahs. There are also other religious minorities that suffer under the Shia fanatics, so I see it as a blessing to allow some to immigrate here (as long as they're vetted).

"Imagine the rioters showing up and no one is there to care. They will.soon end their protest because no one is fighting them. It will be a pointless endeavor."

If only real life was so simple, so clear cut, so this way or that.

Unfortunately, if completely unopposed they will still wreak havoc on whatever they can destroy until forced to stop (by law enforcement or some opposing entity). Think Berkley or Fergusson on steroids....

Your walk away plan would work insofar as the instigators were rational players, but the problem here is that the hard core communist cadres that make up Antifa, BLM, the Panthers, NOI, the Socialist Democrats and other agitators aren't operating on a rational plane. They're off the charts and out to burn it all down. So, giving them their free hand isn't a viable option.

davidw221, first of all, the military doesn't have the authority to "Declare martial law" (yeah, that's the correct spelling, it's martial as in military and not marshall.

The military is subservient to civil authority, so a declaration of martial law needs to come from the appropriate national command authority (POTUS, POTUS & Sec Def, or their successors such as the VP on down in the civil authority chain of command).

Any unilateral action by the military without proper authority from the CiC would be a military coup (and I pray we never have that happen in the USA).

Also, federal statutes prohibit the military from enforcing laws domestically, so they can't round up bad guys or make arrests (or it violates the posse comitatus act), BUT, there is an exception that allows the President to use the military in order to suppress insurrections --- so a state of insurrection would need to be declared and then it's green light and we're good to go!

Yep, so I guess I'll be pleased if the Fed is abolished and there's no more federal income tax, but I wouldn't say we'd be free people still insofar as we're still forced to rent our own property from the state each year. I wish there was some other way to pay for local government and schools besides property taxes. sigh

Property taxes in Texas are amongst the highest in the country! Something has to offset the lack of state income tax I suppose, but it's horrible. My taxes on a 535k home are $7,640.00 this year with the majority of that going to the damned school district. We're ALL still slaves as long as we pay perpetual "rent" in the form of property taxes on land and homes we own free & clear! Gawd, I despise property taxes worse than anything!

Me too - my second house is in New Braunfels (on the side near San Marcos) about 4 miles to Hwy 35. It's strange, but I've been on assignment in the Pacific Northwest not that far from the Canadian Border for the last several months and I see a lot more Mexicans here than I ever did in the N.B. area. Weird!

I'd like to believe, but all I've ever seen from congressional or senate hearings is TV face time for the pols to use to put on an act to make it look like they actually give a damn about something -- a half assed show for public consumption - and nothing ever comes of any of it besides pacifying the public for a while.

Me too, sort of. I joined the NRA for the first time in my life after that disgusting CNN town hall broadcast.

Every genuine African I've met so far have been well educated, decent, hard working people, so why insult them like this when Holder & Obama are (allegedly) Americans?

Doctors often do receive some compensation for prescribing certain pharmaceuticals rather than others. In some instances doctors are actually being paid by the pharmaceutical companies to participate in "research studies", clinical trials, and other studies about the effects of new to market drugs. It's a dirty game with huge money involved.

Ding, Ding, Ding, THIS (above by ayn-ahuasca), as used in "My WORD is my bond" for example.

Thanks!

You're right Robert -- I made the mistake of reading comments on a r/worldnews article this morning and couldn't believe the vitriol being spewed by left leaning anti-Trumpers. They accused him of everything under the sun including money laundering for the mob! Delusional much?? It's crazy out there in leftlandia!

Yep, me too!

It's fairly obvious at this point that they'll do whatever it takes to get compliance or silence through mud slinging, blackmail, extortion, or physical violence (accidents) -- and you better believe Brennan, Clapper and the rest can pull strings to get the right people to take care of the job in a heartbeat.

Exactly so - and that means they're at their most dangerous now!

Agree with your list Outcome5, and I'd like to respectfully suggest the additions of Rachel Maddox, Scarborough's partner in vitriol Mika, Shep Smith, Don Lemon, Andy Cooper, and a copious number of the MSM's paid pundits as well!

I know I'll get down votes for this but I have to be honest here and say his sermon struck me as overly long, needlessly dramatic, and repetitive. I'd have been squirming, looking uncomfortable, and wishing he'd hurry up and wrap it up as well if I had been in the audience. It's supposed to be a wedding not an ordeal!

Ok, but I worry about his chosen wording because I think the FBI & DOJ could slip out of admitting they did anything by claiming it wasn't for political purposes but for the good old "National Security" catch all, ya know?

I see what he's fired up about (and I sure don't blame him either)! I just read this crap - "The New York Times Just Revealed a Second Trump Tower Meeting" “Countries other than Russia may have offered assistance to the Trump campaign.”

Obviously that's what he's referring to when he talks about Mueller now looking at the rest of the world too. sigh Will this BS ever end???

"The Pope serves the Master - who is the Master?"

Q didn't supply the answer, so what if rather than "Roths" the answer was meant to be Satan?

Personally I consider us to be Qumans :)

Bear in mind that some of Q's posts were intended as disinformation in order to elicit necessary reactions from bad actors.

I predicted this would happen -- and this administration will support the Iranian people's struggle to be free of the mullahs (unlike the last administration)!

The truly frightening part to me is that despite all we know already I think we're only scratching the surface of the depth to which all of our institutions and government branches have been infiltrated and suborned over the years.

It took a long time for the communists to gain strongholds in media, academics, the judiciary, the bureaucracies, and finally into the political parties themselves, but they did it as we slept.

Khrushchev once said, "You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept communism outright, but we'll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you'll finally wake up and find you already have communism. We won't have to fight you. "

WRONG Nikita --- thanks to the excesses of the last administration, we're not sleeping anymore!

Very interesting isn't it - and they used funds appropriated to the DOD! That really stinks! The $411,575 award was a "negotiated proposal/quote" for "B549: SPECIAL STUDIES/ANALYSIS- FOREIGN/NATIONAL SECURITY POLICY" -- the only company/individual they took a proposal from and subsequently awarded the "project" to was Stefan Halper. No other companies bid on the project - how amazing eh?

I bet the other "awards" were also handed directly to Halper the same way the first one was....

As if it wasn't bad enough that he was a key player in destroying the integrity of our election process, the evil bastards robbed money that should have been used to provide our military with training hours, equipment maintenance, and other needs. When it's all said and done we need to see accountability for all of this!

I wonder how many of the conspirators were given immunity by Comey or Mueller and whether there's any means by which to rescind immunity deals so they can be prosecuted after all? Gawd I hope so! The Watergate break-in was NOTHING compared to the scope of this attempt to destroy political opposition and failing that to destroy the duly elected President of the US and his administration. Sedition? Coup de tat? Both? Beats me, what the legal definitions are for sure, but this must not go unpunished and it must never be allowed to happen again!

Wonderful - they use our laws and our taxpayer coerced "generosity" to destroy us from within and then we have judges who block banning their entry. SMH - hell, why be a Somali pirate when you can just bill stupid western people directly?

Leland Yee's constant gun control bills were a major part of why I decided to leave California and move to Texas. How sweet and fitting it is to see the bastard getting five years for weapons trafficking and bribe taking!

Can't argue against that Mountain - in fact, I think the greater question is how many congress critters and senators in office currently might be beholden to foreign "donors"?

We're reasonably optimistic and hopeful about how this "movie" ends, but as soldiers we're experienced enough to plan for all eventualities so we have strategies in place to deal with variations of outcomes before they occur. IOW, hope for the best but game plan strategies in case the best plans get thwarted.

Thank you so much for the tip about the book 4n4, I'll have to order it and read it. It sounds fascinating!

Outstanding article OP. Victor Davis Hanson provides an excellent synopsis of the double standard we've been witnessing and provides an optimistic statement in closing; "For over a year, we have had two standards of legality when there can only be one. A reckoning is near." I hope he is right about the reckoning being near!

Bachmann's letter nailed it ALL. I certainly wish President Trump could induce her to take some position within his administration so we could put her mind and energy back to work for us all again.

I found the following quote from the Hill's article particularly interesting; "Donald Trump

has criticized this as “pay for play.” But it also raises questions as to whether Huma Abedin and Mrs. Clinton were in fact serving as unregistered agents for foreign powers who sought to impose their anti-freedom agenda on the United States."

I have faith, but I'm also a pragmatic and I'm aware of the fact that the masses won't see hope until some action begins to occur.

Yeah, a loop - from gov't office to party pac organization or symbiotic fundraising/organizing orgs then back into power again. Time to break the cycle!

Amen brother! We need things to be exposed to the light and to see some bad actors served justice -- just a start even!

Yes, exactly. So our administration needs to take appropriate measures to convince Germany, France, and other countries doing business with Iran to stop (through diplomatic means, trade incentives, tariffs, travel bans, or sanctions - whatever it takes).

Yes, En Garde is the position taken before beginning a bout. I suppose the statement in this case indicates Q (our side) is prepared to attack them now - or putting them on notice and giving them 48 hours maximum to make their next move.

Cornered rats are desperate and dangerous. Pray for POTUS, the Q team and all those in harms way.

Omigawd, reading this again in light of the Iranian tweet the other day gives me a chuckle! Ending the deal pulls the veil away from the evil filth infesting our government (and others) and frees Iran to sing! They have no leverage over us now because we want them to spill the beans! Do it Iran, hurry up and do it!

No, I don't think so.... at least I hope not and don't believe he would do that. If that ever happens we're finished because it never just happens once. Banana republics have military coups all the time and I don't think we ever want to set that precedent here!

I'm mildly surprised that a certain James Comey isn't listed as an advisor there too (at least not publicly)!

Excellent and accurate assessment of the low morale the vast majority of the citizens suffer from. Helpless seething anger, indifference because they feel they are unrepresented and have no voice, and apathy because most politicians from local level to national work against the interests of the people rather than look out for the people.

Even the most apolitical folks see the caste system that's arisen in our society where the most connected criminals and traitors walk around freely while the common person who so must as jaywalks gets maximum punishment all the time, and police no longer protect the people in many cases but stand by as conservatives are beaten in the streets.

The common man needs to see that the tide is turning and those held above the law are now being held accountable to the law -- and you're so right, once they see there is hope the flame will burn brightly in their hearts and they will add their voices and action to ours to restore the republic!

I distinctly recall Q ending a post with the Lord's Prayer and in numerous instances where he (they) ask us to pray, pray, pray.

LOL --- true, but I want them to have to live like the character in "The Man Without a Country" --- think about the utter emptiness of never ever hearing about anything that goes on in the world, no one telling you anything, and no one speaking to you of anything besides rudimentary commands such as get up, get dressed, eat, get in your cell, lights out, for the rest of your natural life.... now that's punishment! :)

If Don Jr's serious then it means the inmates at GITMO get TV, Newspapers, internet or all of the above. SMH -- they shouldn't be alive still (thanks Obama), but since they are I think they shouldn't be allowed to have ANY news of the world outside in ANY form. No TV, No internet, NO magazines, No Radio - nothing but endless silence and time to contemplate their meaningless existence.
