Americans who feel abandoned by the traditional Democrat Party and betrayed by the GOP's cabal of Never-Trump traitors should turn their attention to demolishing the Old Guard Republican Party and all of its remnants. 

We need to bulldoze the whole decrepit mess and start all over again. 

Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, Chris Christie, and every Republican that voted to ignore the request for a ten day investigation of voting irregularities, must be rebuked. All we wanted was for a temporary delay in electorate validation, which has been requested before. Under the circumstances, it was not unreasonable. Then later, Washington Republicans shamelessly allowed their "colleagues" to discuss Trump's second impeachment. If any evidence was fairly presented, which did not happen, he had no culpability for the attack on the Capitol Building. The fact that many Republicans have stood by and offered no defense for their President is unforgivable! 

It was bad enough that Democrats would pile on a President who had only a few days left in office, but to listen to Republicans demean and impugn the integrity of a man that had accomplished so much under such incredible odds, was sickening. They essentially put a stake through the heart of 72 million American patriots. They exposed themselves as phonies. They flipped us the bird!

So I say Good Riddance!

It is time to rebuild bigger and better and to create a political party that represents the people of today's America, The issue of voter fraud should not in any way obscure the real issues that Trump spoke too. Suggesting that the march on Washington was nothing more than a bunch of rightwing terrorists disrespects at least 72 million Americans who believe in the principles and practices of Donald J. Trump. His views on American Exceptionalism, on abortion, on taxes and healthcare, and on trade and foreign policy align with the ambitions of the Founding Fathers and cannot be redefined away. Charges of racism, nationalism and violent extremism are nothing more than political blasphemy.

I ask you, what has the Republican Party done for you lately? When they had the opportunity to replace Obamacare, they failed. When they had the chance to stop deficit spending, they failed. They have failed on the sanctity of marriage, on the sovereignty of our borders, on maintaining law and order, on ending nebulous wars, on stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and the influence of radical Islam, the Republican were totally ineffective administrators. They stood in the way of Trump's efforts to renegotiate lopsided trade deals, to demilitarize North Korea, to bring the Middle East to the bargaining table. But they didn't stop him.

Who needs the GOP? Certainly Donald Trump didn't, and that is probably why the Old Guard hates him nearly as much as the Progressive wing of the Democrat Party. In fact, the evidence is that Trump was attracting significant numbers of disaffected Democrats, when the voting was stopped late on the night of November 3rd.

We need to rebuild a party around the MAGA blueprint. In fact, I would suggest that the foundation has already been poured. Based on the principles that Abraham Lincoln laid out when he gave his second inaugural address: 

"With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan—to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and a lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations."

Donald Trump supporters can erect a new tent that stands over the ruins of the GOP like Ali stood over Forman. I can see it now...POL. -  The Party Of Lincoln.

The Perpetuation of Our Political Institutions:
Address Before the Young Men's Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois
January 27, 1838

In the great journal of things happening under the sun, we, the American People, find our account running, under date of the nineteenth century of the Christian era.--We find ourselves in the peaceful possession, of the fairest portion of the earth, as regards extent of territory, fertility of soil, and salubrity of climate. We find ourselves under the government of a system of political institutions, conducing more essentially to the ends of civil and religious liberty, than any of which the history of former times tells us. We, when mounting the stage of existence, found ourselves the legal inheritors of these fundamental blessings. We toiled not in the acquirement or establishment of them--they are a legacy bequeathed us, by a once hardy, brave, and patriotic, but now lamented and departed race of ancestors. Their's was the task (and nobly they performed it) to possess themselves, and through themselves, us, of this goodly land; and to uprear upon its hills and its valleys, a political edifice of liberty and equal rights; 'tis ours only, to transmit these, the former, unprofaned by the foot of an invader; the latter, undecayed by the lapse of time and untorn by usurpation, to the latest generation that fate shall permit the world to know. This task of gratitude to our fathers, justice to ourselves, duty to posterity, and love for our species in general, all imperatively require us faithfully to perform.

How then shall we perform it?--At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it?-- Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never!--All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.

At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.

I hope I am over wary; but if I am not, there is, even now, something of ill-omen, amongst us. I mean the increasing disregard for law which pervades the country; the growing disposition to substitute the wild and furious passions, in lieu of the sober judgment of Courts; and the worse than savage mobs, for the executive ministers of justice. This disposition is awfully fearful in any community; and that it now exists in ours, though grating to our feelings to admit, it would be a violation of truth, and an insult to our intelligence, to deny. Accounts of outrages committed by mobs, form the every-day news of the times. They have pervaded the country, from New England to Louisiana;--they are neither peculiar to the eternal snows of the former, nor the burning suns of the latter;--they are not the creature of climate-- neither are they confined to the slave-holding, or the non-slave- holding States. Alike, they spring up among the pleasure hunting masters of Southern slaves, and the order loving citizens of the land of steady habits.--Whatever, then, their cause may be, it is common to the whole country.

It would be tedious, as well as useless, to recount the horrors of all of them. Those happening in the State of Mississippi, and at St. Louis, are, perhaps, the most dangerous in example and revolting to humanity. In the Mississippi case, they first commenced by hanging the regular gamblers; a set of men, certainly not following for a livelihood, a very useful, or very honest occupation; but one which, so far from being forbidden by the laws, was actually licensed by an act of the Legislature, passed but a single year before. Next, negroes, suspected of conspiring to raise an insurrection, were caught up and hanged in all parts of the State: then, white men, supposed to be leagued with the negroes; and finally, strangers, from neighboring States, going thither on business, were, in many instances subjected to the same fate. Thus went on this process of hanging, from gamblers to negroes, from negroes to white citizens, and from these to strangers; till, dead men were seen literally dangling from the boughs of trees upon every road side; and in numbers almost sufficient, to rival the native Spanish moss of the country, as a drapery of the forest.

Turn, then, to that horror-striking scene at St. Louis. A single victim was only sacrificed there. His story is very short; and is, perhaps, the most highly tragic, if anything of its length, that has ever been witnessed in real life. A mulatto man, by the name of McIntosh, was seized in the street, dragged to the suburbs of the city, chained to a tree, and actually burned to death; and all within a single hour from the time he had been a freeman, attending to his own business, and at peace with the world.

Such are the effects of mob law; and such as the scenes, becoming more and more frequent in this land so lately famed for love of law and order; and the stories of which, have even now grown too familiar, to attract any thing more, than an idle remark.

But you are, perhaps, ready to ask, "What has this to do with the perpetuation of our political institutions?" I answer, it has much to do with it. Its direct consequences are, comparatively speaking, but a small evil; and much of its danger consists, in the proneness of our minds, to regard its direct, as its only consequences. Abstractly considered, the hanging of the gamblers at Vicksburg, was of but little consequence. They constitute a portion of population, that is worse than useless in any community; and their death, if no pernicious example be set by it, is never matter of reasonable regret with any one. If they were annually swept, from the stage of existence, by the plague or small pox, honest men would, perhaps, be much profited, by the operation.--Similar too, is the correct reasoning, in regard to the burning of the negro at St. Louis. He had forfeited his life, by the perpetration of an outrageous murder, upon one of the most worthy and respectable citizens of the city; and had not he died as he did, he must have died by the sentence of the law, in a very short time afterwards. As to him alone, it was as well the way it was, as it could otherwise have been.--But the example in either case, was fearful.

When men take it in their heads to day, to hang gamblers, or burn murderers, they should recollect, that, in the confusion usually attending such transactions, they will be as likely to hang or burn some one who is neither a gambler nor a murderer as one who is; and that, acting upon the example they set, the mob of to-morrow, may, and probably will, hang or burn some of them by the very same mistake. And not only so; the innocent, those who have ever set their faces against violations of law in every shape, alike with the guilty, fall victims to the ravages of mob law; and thus it goes on, step by step, till all the walls erected for the defense of the persons and property of individuals, are trodden down, and disregarded. But all this even, is not the full extent of the evil.--By such examples, by instances of the perpetrators of such acts going unpunished, the lawless in spirit, are encouraged to become lawless in practice; and having been used to no restraint, but dread of punishment, they thus become, absolutely unrestrained.--Having ever regarded Government as their deadliest bane, they make a jubilee of the suspension of its operations; and pray for nothing so much, as its total annihilation. While, on the other hand, good men, men who love tranquility, who desire to abide by the laws, and enjoy their benefits, who would gladly spill their blood in the defense of their country; seeing their property destroyed; their families insulted, and their lives endangered; their persons injured; and seeing nothing in prospect that forebodes a change for the better; become tired of, and disgusted with, a Government that offers them no protection; and are not much averse to a change in which they imagine they have nothing to lose.

Thus, then, by the operation of this mobo-cratic spirit, which all must admit, is now abroad in the land, the strongest bulwark of any Government, and particularly of those constituted like ours, may effectually be broken down and destroyed--I mean the attachment of the People. Whenever this effect shall be produced among us; whenever the vicious portion of population shall be permitted to gather in bands of hundreds and thousands, and burn churches, ravage and rob provision-stores, throw printing presses into rivers, shoot editors, and hang and burn obnoxious persons at pleasure, and with impunity; depend on it, this Government cannot last. By such things, the feelings of the best citizens will become more or less alienated from it; and thus it will be left without friends, or with too few, and those few too weak, to make their friendship effectual. At such a time and under such circumstances, men of sufficient talent and ambition will not be wanting to seize the opportunity, strike the blow, and overturn that fair fabric, which for the last half century, has been the fondest hope, of the lovers of freedom, throughout the world.

I know the American People are much attached to their Government;--I know they would suffer much for its sake;--I know they would endure evils long and patiently, before they would ever think of exchanging it for another. Yet, notwithstanding all this, if the laws be continually despised and disregarded, if their rights to be secure in their persons and property, are held by no better tenure than the caprice of a mob, the alienation of their affections from the Government is the natural consequence; and to that, sooner or later, it must come.

Here then, is one point at which danger may be expected.

The question recurs, "how shall we fortify against it?" The answer is simple. Let every American, every lover of liberty, every well wisher to his posterity, swear by the blood of the Revolution, never to violate in the least particular, the laws of the country; and never to tolerate their violation by others. As the patriots of seventy-six did to the support of the Declaration of Independence, so to the support of the Constitution and Laws, let every American pledge his life, his property, and his sacred honor;--let every man remember that to violate the law, is to trample on the blood of his father, and to tear the character of his own, and his children's liberty. Let reverence for the laws, be breathed by every American mother, to the lisping babe, that prattles on her lap--let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges; let it be written in Primers, spelling books, and in Almanacs;--let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice. And, in short, let it become the political religion of the nation; and let the old and the young, the rich and the poor, the grave and the gay, of all sexes and tongues, and colors and conditions, sacrifice unceasingly upon its altars.

While ever a state of feeling, such as this, shall universally, or even, very generally prevail throughout the nation, vain will be every effort, and fruitless every attempt, to subvert our national freedom.

When I so pressingly urge a strict observance of all the laws, let me not be understood as saying there are no bad laws, nor that grievances may not arise, for the redress of which, no legal provisions have been made.--I mean to say no such thing. But I do mean to say, that, although bad laws, if they exist, should be repealed as soon as possible, still while they continue in force, for the sake of example, they should be religiously observed. So also in unprovided cases. If such arise, let proper legal provisions be made for them with the least possible delay; but, till then, let them, if not too intolerable, be borne with.

There is no grievance that is a fit object of redress by mob law. In any case that arises, as for instance, the promulgation of abolitionism, one of two positions is necessarily true; that is, the thing is right within itself, and therefore deserves the protection of all law and all good citizens; or, it is wrong, and therefore proper to be prohibited by legal enactments; and in neither case, is the interposition of mob law, either necessary, justifiable, or excusable.

But, it may be asked, why suppose danger to our political institutions? Have we not preserved them for more than fifty years? And why may we not for fifty times as long?
We hope there is no sufficient reason. We hope all dangers may be overcome; but to conclude that no danger may ever arise, would itself be extremely dangerous. There are now, and will hereafter be, many causes, dangerous in their tendency, which have not existed heretofore; and which are not too insignificant to merit attention. That our government should have been maintained in its original form from its establishment until now, is not much to be wondered at. It had many props to support it through that period, which now are decayed, and crumbled away.

Through that period, it was felt by all, to be an undecided experiment; now, it is understood to be a successful one.--

Then, all that sought celebrity and fame, and distinction, expected to find them in the success of that experiment. Their all was staked upon it:-- their destiny was inseparably linked with it. Their ambition aspired to display before an admiring world, a practical demonstration of the truth of a proposition, which had hitherto been considered, at best no better, than problematical; namely, the capability of a people to govern themselves. If they succeeded, they were to be immortalized; their names were to be transferred to counties and cities, and rivers and mountains; and to be revered and sung, and toasted through all time. If they failed, they were to be called knaves and fools, and fanatics for a fleeting hour; then to sink and be forgotten. They succeeded. The experiment is successful; and thousands have won their deathless names in making it so. But the game is caught; and I believe it is true, that with the catching, end the pleasures of the chase. This field of glory is harvested, and the crop is already appropriated. But new reapers will arise, and they, too, will seek a field. It is to deny, what the history of the world tells us is true, to suppose that men of ambition and talents will not continue to spring up amongst us. And, when they do, they will as naturally seek the gratification of their ruling passion, as others have so done before them. The question then, is, can that gratification be found in supporting and maintaining an edifice that has been erected by others?

Most certainly it cannot. Many great and good men sufficiently qualified for any task they should undertake, may ever be found, whose ambition would inspire to nothing beyond a seat in Congress, a gubernatorial or a presidential chair; but such belong not to the family of the lion, or the tribe of the eagle. What! think you these places would satisfy an Alexander, a Caesar, or a Napoleon?--Never! Towering genius distains a beaten path. It seeks regions hitherto unexplored.--It sees no distinction in adding story to story, upon the monuments of fame, erected to the memory of others. It denies that it is glory enough to serve under any chief. It scorns to tread in the footsteps of any predecessor, however illustrious. It thirsts and burns for distinction; and, if possible, it will have it, whether at the expense of emancipating slaves, or enslaving freemen. Is it unreasonable then to expect, that some man possessed of the loftiest genius, coupled with ambition sufficient to push it to its utmost stretch, will at some time, spring up among us? And when such a one does, it will require the people to be united with each other, attached to the government and laws, and generally intelligent, to successfully frustrate his designs.

Distinction will be his paramount object, and although he would as willingly, perhaps more so, acquire it by doing good as harm; yet, that opportunity being past, and nothing left to be done in the way of building up, he would set boldly to the task of pulling down.

Here, then, is a probable case, highly dangerous, and such a one as could not have well existed heretofore.

Another reason which once was; but which, to the same extent, is now no more, has done much in maintaining our institutions thus far. I mean the powerful influence which the interesting scenes of the revolution had upon the passions of the people as distinguished from their judgment. By this influence, the jealousy, envy, and avarice, incident to our nature, and so common to a state of peace, prosperity, and conscious strength, were, for the time, in a great measure smothered and rendered inactive; while the deep-rooted principles of hate, and the powerful motive of revenge, instead of being turned against each other, were directed exclusively against the British nation. And thus, from the force of circumstances, the basest principles of our nature, were either made to lie dormant, or to become the active agents in the advancement of the noblest cause--that of establishing and maintaining civil and religious liberty.

But this state of feeling must fade, is fading, has faded, with the circumstances that produced it.

I do not mean to say, that the scenes of the revolution are now or ever will be entirely forgotten; but that like every thing else, they must fade upon the memory of the world, and grow more and more dim by the lapse of time. In history, we hope, they will be read of, and recounted, so long as the bible shall be read;-- but even granting that they will, their influence cannot be what it heretofore has been. Even then, they cannot be so universally known, nor so vividly felt, as they were by the generation just gone to rest. At the close of that struggle, nearly every adult male had been a participator in some of its scenes. The consequence was, that of those scenes, in the form of a husband, a father, a son or brother, a living history was to be found in every family-- a history bearing the indubitable testimonies of its own authenticity, in the limbs mangled, in the scars of wounds received, in the midst of the very scenes related--a history, too, that could be read and understood alike by all, the wise and the ignorant, the learned and the unlearned.--But those histories are gone. They can be read no more forever. They were a fortress of strength; but, what invading foeman could never do, the silent artillery of time has done; the leveling of its walls. They are gone.--They were a forest of giant oaks; but the all-resistless hurricane has swept over them, and left only, here and there, a lonely trunk, despoiled of its verdure, shorn of its foliage; unshading and unshaded, to murmur in a few gentle breezes, and to combat with its mutilated limbs, a few more ruder storms, then to sink, and be no more.
They were the pillars of the temple of liberty; and now, that they have crumbled away, that temple must fall, unless we, their descendants, supply their places with other pillars, hewn from the solid quarry of sober reason. Passion has helped us; but can do so no more. It will in future be our enemy. Reason, cold, calculating, unimpassioned reason, must furnish all the materials for our future support and defence.--Let those materials be moulded into general intelligence, sound morality, and in particular, a reverence for the constitution and laws: and, that we improved to the last; that we remained free to the last; that we revered his name to the last; that, during his long sleep, we permitted no hostile foot to pass over or desecrate his resting place; shall be that which to learn the last trump shall awaken our WASHINGTON.
​
Upon these let the proud fabric of freedom rest, as the rock of its basis; and as truly as has been said of the only greater institution, "the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."

I have listened to some people I respect, and that are longtime acquaintances of President Trump, suggesting that he has lost it. That he simply can't accept losing and therefore he is in denial. They are suggesting he be shamed for his incitement of the January 7th events at the Capitol Building in Washington. 

This is the Ultimate Cancellation.

First, Trump has nothing to be ashamed of. He did not incite violence at the Capitol Building. He fashioned the events in exactly the same way as he has all of his dozens of rallies since he announced his run for the Presidency in 2016. The fact that he has conducted rallies with millions of attendees that have always been peaceful is undeniable. If you listen to the tapes of his address to the audience, he never once suggests violating the law. He simply said to "go down to the Capitol, and have your voices heard. Stay strong, this isn't over yet!"

There is nothing illegal or incendiary about that. 

If you look back at history, raucous demonstrations have happened many times in Washington, and at dozens of other centers of government in America. Covid lockdown demonstrations have been held in front of state capitals all over the nation. Remember when demonstrators against the confirmation of SCOTUS Brett Kavanaugh stormed the Senate Office Building in October 2018? 300 people were arrested. When BLM and ANTIFA were rampaging across metropolitan cities in early 2020, Senator Kamala Harris said, "This is a movement! They will never stop. They shouldn't stop."

It is not unusual for large crowds to get out of control. Especially when emotions are running high. And what could be more aggravating than to believe that the election of a President was stolen by digital manipulation? The people involved in this "Million Man March" in Washington believed it was.

Suggesting they stormed the building because Trump lied about the election fraud insults their intelligence. It assumes they are too stupid to distinguish fact from fiction. It trivializes the charges that something went terribly wrong on November 3rd, 2020. Right or wrong, telling millions of Americans they are delusional is what provoked violence!

Second, Trump has nothing to be ashamed of. His record speaks for itself. He has arguably been the most successful President in modern American history. He won 11 million more votes than he got in his first election! By any standards that is a successful administration! Whatever he was doing was welcomed by vast numbers of Americans. More blacks, Latinos and women voted for him than any Republican candidate in history. 

The anti-Trump media is rewriting history. He was well on his way to Making America Great Again until a biological weapon was unleashed on the world, and his political opponents embraced it as an opportunity to reclaim power.

Don't take my word for it, just look at what they have said and what they are saying now! So spare me the gaslighting assault on the public's intelligence. There are two main 'premises' we have to question before we start sending the Trump Legacy to the guillotines: 

• The Wuhan Virus was a natural phenomenon 
• The election was conducted without any interference

I challenge anyone to prove either of those two assumptions. Now that all of the forensic evidence surrounding the election has been conveniently destroyed, fraud can't be proved or disproved!. And if you can't scientifically prove the Covid19 virus was a natural occurrence, then you can't prove it wasn't. Checkmate!

Many claim that Trump's "baseless" charges about both have been "debunked" dozens of times. No serious analysis has been offered to "debunk" the Dominion voting machine issues. There is anecdotal 'excuses' for errors, but the only forensic analysis in Michigan (by Allied Security Operations Group, LLC) showed votes were switched, not just in the Presidential election, but in local elections as well.

{The Interim Report vindicates the lengthy opinion and order of Judge Amy Totenberg in Curling v. Raffensperger, 2020 WL 5994029 (N.D. Ga. 10/11/20), which found “extreme” and unacceptable security risks in the Dominion system. Compelling evidence and expert analyses show convincingly that the results of the Dominion system cannot be trusted and should not have been certified.}

In every instance, the Democrats were the beneficiaries. No government agency has stepped in and seized machines, ballots or undertaken any serious investigation of fraud.

As for the pandemic, hundreds of accredited epidemiologists, led by the Frontline Covid19 Critical Care Initiative, claim the virus is clearly "man-made" which implies it didn't just happen by accident. And they also accuse mainstream media of mischaracterizing its danger, and misreporting much of the science behind it's treatment.

In both cases, Trump's opposition (Democrats, high tech Silicon Valley, China) have suppressed investigations, withheld evidence, manipulated and used the media to obfuscate and undermine any fair examination of evidence.

If you are really interested in understanding why millions of Americans are pissed off, just look at what is happening to our nation's health: Schools and churches are closed, businesses are bankrupt, their owners may lose their homes, and millions are unemployed with no hope of finding work anytime soon. We are all living in prison-like lockdowns, and every dream we ever had about the future of our family is threatened.  To pursue truth and justice ("No Justice, No Peace") you must ask yourself, why? 

Or you can just succumb to the popular method of dealing with things that upset or offend you: You can just cancel it.
