Inauguration Day, 2021
So Joe Biden has been sworn in as president and the Restoration is about to begin.
An improbable set of circumstances has propelled him into the job he’s been unsuccessfully seeking for over thirty years. I guess he had to wait until the country had fallen low enough.
Now we get to watch the media pretend that Biden isn’t the person everyone with even the dimmest grasp of Biden’s history knows that he is.
And now those voters in Georgia who sold their country out for a promised $2,000 check get to see that the Democrats are liars:
Some Georgia voters have been left unimpressed by what they see as semantic trickery, with one person who canvassed for Democrats saying he felt he had ‘lied to people’ when he promised them $2,000 payments.
‘I’m a man of principle and morals and I feel like s**t. I lied to them,’ Rogelio Linares told Mediaite.
…Warnock used the phrase ‘$2,000 relief checks’ several times in the final days of the campaign, saying on one occasion that Georgians ‘need them to survive’.
One Warnock advert had a mocked-up image of a $2,000 check from the treasury, with the caption: ‘Want a $2,000 check?’.
Ossoff said on the eve of polling day that ‘we can pass $2,000 relief checks for the people, but we have to win this Senate election’.
The Biden administration is proposing $1400 payments.
Whether or not Ben Franklin actually said this, it turns out to be true:
When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.
Democrats lied? You shock me!
As to Biden, as I did with Trump, I will look to what he does rather than what he says. Calling for unity and healing while appointing a hard-core racist to head the Civil Right Division doesn’t bode well.
That Ben Franklin quote got me to thinking how far we’ve come from what the Founders had in mind – a limited government.
I think one of the reasons people hate Trump and see him as a total racist is because he refused to play ‘more regs from gov’t are needed’. Doing the opposite or even doing nothing is a big no-no if you’re a prog. To progs, gov’t is the solution.
Biden’s speech (written by whom?) was execrable, with a strong emphasis on so-called “domestic terrorists” and “white supremacists” and “racism” as significant problems for the nation. It was clearly a clumsy attempt to demonize the tens of millions who voted for Trump, as well as to signal to his fanatical followers that there will be no mercy for those who dare to oppose his totalitarian agenda, or rather that of his handlers. It has been said, more than once, that when fascism arrives in America, it will be in the guise of “anti-fascism”. Perhaps today is indeed the day on which our republic began its inevitable decline and fall.
Two notes–well three, counting the footnote that I did not listen to the speech.
First. Widely reported that Chris Wallace praised Biden’s speech as the best Inaugural Speech ever. Wallace once more affirmed my resolve to never listen to him again.
Second. I see reports that Biden’s people are suggesting that he may not actually get to Covid relief until March. If that is true, it will be interesting to see how the “old media” plays that; and how the greedy little Biden voters react. I take those reports with a healthy dose of salt because I cannot imagine that even “Slo Joe” would dare.
Did not, will not, watch Biden’s inauguration. Biden appears to be a second coming of the Obama years, based on his appointees so far. I already know what’s coming. And it’s not good for the American middle class. Open borders = more drugs and crime along with less job opportunities for low skilled workers. War on fossil fuels = higher prices at the pump, higher heating bills, and higher costs for almost everything. (inflation anyone?) Law enforcement reform = les effective police forces and more crime. Fighting COVID-19 = more lockdowns, more economic pain, more big $$$$ bailouts, and less freedom for everyone (except the elites). More regulations = another stagnant economy ala Obama. If we get inflation, which I think we will, it will be a duplicate of Jimmy Carter’s stagflation.
Unfortunately, the MSM will not tell the LIVs the truth about what’s happening. Maybe the pain will become great enough that the LIVs will finally recognize the difference between what they’re being told and what’s really happening.
That Ben Franklin quote would be appropriate if we weren’t talking about a situation where the government itself had simply shut down a large segment of the economy.

I just read the text of Biden’s speech. Absurd to think he can unite the country with that. He attacked half the country.
He said the Dems were against lawlessness. Ha! The Dems are lawless.
Resist.
And I want to post here that I’m super happy that Steve Bannon got a pardon.
I’m with Oldflyer who writes “Widely reported that Chris Wallace praised Biden’s speech as the best Inaugural Speech ever. Wallace once more affirmed my resolve to never listen to him again.”
The Obamunist full body tongue bath genuflected by the Marxist media is now in effect. War is peace. Ignorance Is strength. And RED is best!
Remember that the Marxist Media gave us 93% favourable Obama coverage and Trump 93% negative coverage. Neither is veridical with reality because no leader is that great or bad.
Therefore we are being lied to. Routinely.
What “inauguration”?
Coups don’t do inaugurations.
They install permanent regimes.
Biden, Harris, a future President Kerry or Cuomo or Whitmer, same puppet tyrant, different face.
It’s the globalist oligarchy that now runs the country. The politicians act as their spokesmen and faithfully do their bidding.
We no longer have a government “of the people, for the people and by the people” because tens of millions of willfully blind fools enabled this perverting of the “consent of the governed”.
I perceive truth and objective reality to be inseperable.
The reality of Venezuela awaits and out of the coming “wailing and gnashing of teeth” will arise a new clarity of what truth consists and of what must be done to restore it.
Cornhead,
“I just read the text of Biden’s speech. Absurd to think he can unite the country with that. He attacked half the country.”
Biden’s ‘unity’ involves and requires surrender and prostration by all who voted for Trump and all who don’t subscribe to the “Critical Race Theory” scam. To all who question the veracity of the Covid-19 scam. To all who disagree that 2+2=5…
To attain that, examples must be made that instill the proper amount of fear and terror among those who oppose Biden’s puppet masters. Biden’s attack upon half the country is not a warning but a promise of his cabal’s intentions.
Starting with Laura Loomer’s having now been banned from purchasing a gun by the FBI. Presumably under the authority of the Patriot Act. This despite her never advocating violence nor ever even getting a parking ticket. And having received multiple death threats. Clearly she has no right to the means for self-defense. Unconstitutional? Well, it used to be… and still is…if you support the left.
There is no rule of law if it doesn’t apply to everyone.
What we now have is ‘legally’ established tyranny. Most recently demonstrated by the FBI placing up bill boards around the country to encourage liberals to report suspicious activity by America’s foremost threat, “domestic terrorists” i.e. Trump voters.
You had some questions of the ego variety, concerning the Prince of Peace aura I mentioned, GB.
Well, take a look.
This serenity vs what others are feeling. The words themselves don’t mean anything. They are just a translation of a concept or power.
Look instead at the actual physical manifestation.
Sarah Hoyt once called it “insanity”.
If this is your human version of sanity, all the pain and doom and gloom… well that’s not something I desire.
Peace, serenity, and calm is my choice as a Son of God.
TJ, every time the fake news talks about “QAnon” it is 99.999999999% deception and lies.
That’s the Yammer ego thing alright, never admitting when fantasy conflicts with fact.
QAnon kills.
Ashli Babbit RIP.
After the Democrat House approved their Articles of the Second Impeachment, they declined to send them over to the Senate for trial.
Some blamed McConnell’s surprisingly firm statement that he wouldn’t do anything before January 19 at the soonest.
Some believed Pelosi’s claim that they wanted to give Biden an uninterrupted “honeymoon” (which they denied Trump, of course).
Now, we know what both of them certainly knew: any sort of defense at a Senate trial would disclose what the Washington Post now admits.

(quotes from WaPo story)
Of course, they blame the Right-Wing for all of the rioting, and for all I know they might be correct (I only suspect otherwise; I don’t KNOW), but this was known to TPTB before the House vote, and most of the world learned it very soon afterwards.
Through the Leftist Press, in fact.
This is called Political Theater, and it addresses in some ways the topic of Neo’s other post today on whether the general host of Democrats are fools or knaves.
I say: Fools, because they allow the Leftist Press to be their sole source of information (or, “information”); Knaves, because they make no effort to follow up on any disquieting suggestions that they are Fools.
Second entry in the same argument:

Shortly after the Election, my SiL in Virginia “commiserated” with me over Trump’s loss (that is, a thinly veiled gloating). I suggested, gently, that I was worried that Biden’s mental health was so frail he might not be able to serve.
“Oh, he’s fine,” she responded, in the particular Mom-voice usually directed toward toddlers with a minor booboo.
I wonder what she’s thinking now that the Leftists Press is revealing that the Democrat voters were scammed.
Probably: wow, he sure got sick quickly!
I’m over on FreeRepublic.com. People are mad at Biden and excoriating his charade. The WH stream turned off comments, which live watchers suggest ran 95% hostile.
It is a thing of beauty! This outpouring of vengeance. You can check out a link to the MSM streams, now recorded, for the comments.
One stream was about two to one negative. But several are ten to one negative.
A short sample:
Trump has almost 4 million views on his farewell speech this morning.
Look at thumbs up and thumbs down. Lmfao!! Biden got 80 million votes?? Lmfao!!
JUST LIKE THE ELECTION 5.3K HATE THIS AND 3.7K LIKE IT…..SICKENING DAY IN AMERICA…
Beijing Biden is the proverbial manchurian candidate in history. Besides twinkle toes barry.
Oh man alive… THIS IS COMEDY GOLD! HILARIOOOUUUSSS!
I feel like I was lied too when I was told cheaters never prosper, and good always wins. Sad day for America!
Compare to the energy of the crowds sending trump off and awaiting him in Florida, Biden’s inauguration was like a funeral where he delivered a eulogy. The mood was heavy and gloomy.
Like when a dictator needs the military to be installed as the president?

WoW!

AesopFan: “Of course, they blame the Right-Wing for all of the rioting, and for all I know they might be correct (I only suspect otherwise; I don’t KNOW), but this was known to TPTB before the House vote, and most of the world learned it very soon afterwards.”
But as someone, here I think, shared, Michael Yon – the several decades war correspondent — who’s spent 500 hours at demos and riots, including some seven months in Hong King covering their democracy movement in 2019 and Antifa — who was at the Capitol steps on the 6th, and recognises their hardcore techniques and practices from close observation , fingers Antifa in provoking and stoking moch or most of the violence.
See Antifa “ ‘Agent Provocateur’ Tactics Seen at Jan 6 US Capitol Protest—Interview With Michael Yon” here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bIeKj7fZ8U
False flag tactics ID”d again and again in video as also an eyewitness by Yon.
This fake news is great, isn’t it.
Almost like “prophesies” eh, Yammer?
I saw the Yon interview.
I have great respect for him, but even his opinion is still an opinion.
An astute and informed opinion.
I happen to believe it is a correct one.
Still, the FBI is rounding up a lot of suspects on the Right, according to WaPo.
“The arrests this weekend of several people with alleged ties to far-right extremist groups, including the Oath Keepers, the Proud Boys and the Three Percenters, suggest that the riot was not an entirely impulsive outburst of violence but an event instigated or exploited by organized groups.”
Caveat: “alleged” covers a lot of territory, ad if there have been any arrests or investigations of the Leftist groups or “ideas”, I do not expect to see those noted in any MSM outlet.
Lying by omission is still lying.
Possibilities:
(1) the FBI keeps tabs on the right-wing groups, and most of them don’t wear masks and hoods, so it is easy to grab them immediately, and since being present in DC on the Sixth is now officially equivalent to actively doing something criminal, they will throw those guys to the wolves first;
(2) the FBI almost certainly has files on the left-wing groups, but they may or may not pursue leads there (I trust nothing the FBI does or says any more);
(3) the right-wingers may have actually done some criminal trespass (through open doors?) and violence, both “in their own guise” AND with some of them also copying the Hong Konger tactics as pointed out by Yon, although those of us who have watched the “peaceful protestors” and their gentle ways recognize what he describes as being known tactics on the Left.
It’s a mess.
I concede that any right-wingers who did anything more than go in through the open doors and gawk at the Rotunda were out of line and counter-productive.
However, in order to present them as the sole perpetrators of mayhem at the Capitol, and absolve Antifa & Co, you have to believe that the “right-wing fringe” (such as the Oath Keepers, the Proud Boys and the Three Percenters) disguised themselves as Antifa in order to disrupt the Senate hearings that they hoped would vindicate Their Hero PJDT by establishing grounds for a lawful investigation of the election anomalies.
IF their goal was to intimidate the anti-challengers in Congress by their physical presence, there was no point in that disguise.
So, Antifa was there, was active, and suckered the Trump supporters into following their mob, as there was no advantage for the Right in trespass and violence, which would only have tarnished their cause — as it did.
