On August 26, 1996 Osama bin Laden declared war on the United States. It was not until September 11th 2001 that most of us realized that it was no joke. On January 24th 2017 Mateo Gold of the Washington Post covered the launch of “The Campaign to Impeach Donald Trump. Six days later on January 30th 2017 ten days after the inauguration, Mark Zaid the attorney for the “whistle blower” in the CIA tweeted the coup has begun. At a Federalist Society meeting in mid-November Attorney General described today’s events as a ‘War” against a duly elected government. 

The Attorney General is right. We are at war. We are fighting a civil war for the shape and direction of The United States. Will we remain free or will we become worker ants under the direction of the bureaucratic elite? This war is not conventional. It is not being waged with force of arms. It is being waged in the back rooms with a tactic and force called Lawfare. 

. According to Wikipedia:   

Lawfare is a form of war consisting of the use of the legal system against an enemy, such as by damaging or delegitimizing them, tying up their time or winning a public relations victory.  

The left has been honing their tactics for years. They are good at it. They are good at subverting the will of the people. One element of winning a battle is called shaping the battlefield. Shaping the battlefield is a concept involved in the practice of maneuver warfare that are used for shaping a situation on the battlefield, gaining the military advantage for the commander. In setting the rules for the Adam Schiff impeachment hearings the Democrats shaped the battlefield. The Republicans said that was not fair. Of course, it was not fair. The Democrats know it is war and shaped the battlefield. The Republicans are out maneuvered and losing.    

We are in a war. You can sit back and steam or you can enlist and help us fight. What we need to win is money. Money to overcome the fake news. Money to bring the real story to the people. Money to build the data bases. Money to fight their attorneys. Money to get out the vote. You can join the battle and donate some or sit back and let the Democrats take it all. The Democrats are at the gates. Let’s fight! 

Thanks to Zero Hedge for this article.  "An indictment drawn up by Ukraine's Office of the Prosecutor General against Burisma owner Nikolai Zlochevsky claims that Hunter Biden and his partners received $16.5 million for their 'services' - according to Ukrainian MP Alexander Dubinsky of the ruling Servant of the People Party."

"Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman’s bombshell testimony Tuesday raised significant questions as to what his authority is within the White House National Security Council when he delivered a direct message to the Ukrainian president in April and whether he undermined the White House when he spoke to the foreign leader."

"So far this year, Facebook has employed 68 federal lobbyists, 12 in-house employees and 56 from K Street firms – spending nearly $12.3m on federal lobbying through 30 September. Sludge dug through Center for Responsive Politics and Legistorm databases and found that out of these lobbyists only three have never held jobs in the federal government."

The Minnesota Department of Human Services has uncovered more improper payments, and counties and tribes are on the hook to help pay the money back. Kudos to Sue Jeffers for spotting this.

The payments total more than $10 million and include improper checks to substance abuse providers, a welfare assistance program and child foster care services. They come on top of the recent discovery of $29 million in overpayments the department made to two state tribes over a span of more than a decade for substance abuse treatments.

Nice, 250 more jobs. It would have been nicer in Minnesota, we think.
