unAmerican.#

Jill, Schumer, Pelosi, and others are covered with the Powerful Smell of Mendacity. — OUT ON A LIMB: David Marcus: Old Man Biden’s autopen pardons should be null and void. Nice work https://t.co/z0yzJWgIkP [Link]#

Power wielded wisely.#

@RattlerGator JB, what makes Trump all the more powerful is that he chooses not to use his power in ways he could, but that would damage American governance. There can be greatness in temporary restraint. [Link]#

Due Process.#

Balance.#

Mental stability requires a balance of thinking things and doing things. — ‘People You Should Know‘ Is a Love Letter to Bottom-Up Solutions https://t.co/k9uBevNbV6 [Link]#

UN fail.#

The UN, making itself irrelevant. — UN‘s New Global Carbon Tax: Will the USA Get Stuck with the Bill? https://t.co/Bt0Zks8PRK via @wattsupwiththat [Link]#

A no-joke joke.#

Always be cautious dealing with credentialed experts. Be sure to check their work. — Man Who Turned World Into Dumpster Fire And Covered Up Biden‘s Senility Says Trump Sucks at Diplomacy https://t.co/G6DgkE6CXP [Link]#

Cloward-Piven.#

@StephenM Ironically, the only plausible way to avoid a SCOTUS crisis is for the Trump administration to overload the courts with pending deportations. It will no doubt chagrin the Left to have Cloward-Piven’s strategy used against it. [Link]#
