As the new year gets underway, President Donald Trump still isn’t admitting the basic reality of his recent election loss. On Friday — the first day of the new year — Trump even retweeted a message from one of his supporters who said that the “cavalry” would show up in D.C. on January 6, when Congress is scheduled to meet and certify the results of the electoral college. Trump referred to this cultishly described planned protest as “A great honor!”, freely amplifying the violent, delusional rhetoric of his supporters who think that it’s up to “patriots” to save the country from Chinese pawns and election fraudsters, or something.
Some States are very slow to inoculate recipients despite successful and very large scale distribution of vaccines by the Federal Government. They will get it done!

Because of the Trump Administration, hospitals are now required, effective immediately, to publish their REAL PRICES, which will create competition and drive downs costs MASSIVELY. Won lawsuit last week. Bigger than healthcare, it’s called PRICE TRANSPARENCY….

On Friday, among other tweets and retweets, Trump also called for a primary challenge against Republican South Dakota Senator John Thune, who Trump referred to as a “RINO,” meaning “Republican in Name Only.” Like just about any other cultish movement, Trump’s vitriol towards those who don’t fully fall in line with his rhetoric has only seemingly grown as time has gone on. Is there anyone who Trump wouldn’t be willing to publicly denigrate and ridicule if a politically advantageous opportunity to do so presented itself? Recently, Thune has criticized the plans from some Republicans to challenge the electoral college totals when the numbers come up for Congressional certification on January 6. Republicans have planned this challenge — which is sure to completely fail — on the basis of concerns about imaginary election fraud.
I hope to see the great Governor of South Dakota @KristiNoem, run against RINO @SenJohnThune, in the upcoming 2022 Primary. She would do a fantastic job in the U.S. Senate, but if not Kristi, others are already lining up. South Dakota wants strong leadership, NOW!

On Friday, Trump insisted that “Massive amounts of evidence will be presented on the 6th,” adding that he “won, BIG!”, which is just total nonsense. If the Trump team has legitimate evidence of systematic election fraud, then where is it, and why haven’t they presented it at any point during the weeks of their frenzied post-election fight against Biden’s victory? Judges across the country, including a slew of the president’s own appointees, have rejected his claims, and officials across government have confirmed that there’s just no evidence backing Trump up.
The BIG Protest Rally in Washington, D.C., will take place at 11.00 A.M. on January 6th. Locational details to follow. StopTheSteal!

Our Republican Senate just missed the opportunity to get rid of Section 230, which gives unlimited power to Big Tech companies. Pathetic!!! Now they want to give people ravaged by the China Virus $600, rather than the $2000 which they so desperately need. Not fair, or smart!
