John Minford, #SunTzu 8:17 "By tempering thoughts of harm, he can extricate himself from calamity."
If you agree, say it with loud and strong, I do NOT believe in manmade global warning, and I am NOT one of the 97% of scientists the left tells us all agree about it. There may be global warning, but if so, it's certainly NOT the first time. Hell, it may even be manmade.
But we don't know that. Sure, they say we do, but I don't believe them. Do you? What's more, the same thing that's destroying any credibility of the news, is occurring right here, propaganda. When I used to argue about this with my left leaning friends, I had a great case.
I called it "the skeptic's advantage." If you tell me there's a looming calamity, that I caused it, that I must become a communist in order to solve it, then...the burden of proof, and yes, persuasive proof is on YOU, not me. I'm just skeptical. I love being skeptical.
It's such a fabulous argument that I miss having it, a little. I learned, however, that there is NO such thing as tampering thoughts of harm when arguing with true believers in the religion of liberal science. They know they're right. And doom is coming. The sky is falling.
So, let's really go there. First, they strengthen their leftward hold on the House. 20 more AOC's are elected in 2020. Imagine that! Now worse still. They take back the Senate. Admit it, if that happens, @POTUS is a lame duck commencing in November, if he's reelected.
@POTUS Let's go worse. This is called "worst case scenario analysis." Pocahontas becomes President. Or Bernie. Or any socialist, no matter who. Full control of House, Senate and White House, we know, the Constitution will be formally declared dead at that point. No question.
@POTUS And indeed, it is a hell vision scenario that will absolutely qualify as a calamity. By the way, my own more realistic fear is that we are weakened in both House and Senate. We don't lose the Senate, but we hobble our President so he can't get anything substantive done.
@POTUS Returning to pure hell vision, how might we temper our thoughts of harm. My great friend @JonStancik has me reading @marklevinshow's horrifying book, Men In Black, about how SCOTUS has been aggressively destroying our Constitution since...1803. Not a new think, eh?
@POTUS@JonStancik@marklevinshow We will return to this topic another day, and I'll quote one of our founding fathers who feared precisely what has occurred, from Mark's book. But consider it. If we lose America in 2020, it won't have been in 2020 that we lost Her. We've been busy at that for far longer.
@POTUS@JonStancik@marklevinshow In order to begin tampering down our thoughts of harm, we must face the consequences of our previous failures over decades and centuries. Centuries have consequences. So...? Perhaps the only way to regain America is to lose Her first. Maybe on then will we truly wake up.
@POTUS@JonStancik@marklevinshow I say again, go there. Embrace worst case scenario thinking, and then, find the hidden gain, deeply seated underneath the surface of the calamity. Could it be that all Americans, as in every single one of us, needs to learn the Constitution? How do you make us pay attention?
@POTUS@JonStancik@marklevinshow Go there. What if President Warren decides to outlaw this church or that, for being racist? Will those church members wonder about our lost 1st Amendment? What if their beloved gun confiscation commences. A SWAT unit shows up at your door, asking kindly for your guns?
@POTUS@JonStancik@marklevinshow Face it, fellow patriots, we were born as a resistance. Somewhere along the line, we lost our fighting spirit. We lost our greatness. I know I did. Not as a man, a person, but as a citizen. Actually, I never had it to begin with. My faith in America was still born.
@POTUS@JonStancik@marklevinshow No, be clear. I am NOT talking about a shooting 2nd Civil War. Nope. Even in my worst case scenario, I believe in the Civil Process, the vote. Yes, of course, it too can be destroyed, and maybe that's an even worse case scenario. But that's not where I am. I want to organize!
@POTUS@JonStancik@marklevinshow The way Master Sun wants us to tamper our thoughts of harm is to seek and discover the hidden gain within. I don't know if our side is up for the 2020 mission or not. Do you? I do know that defeat can stir the soul. It can be the wakeup call that remains needed.
@POTUS@JonStancik@marklevinshow Every situation of apparent harm holds, sometimes deeply hidden within, a potential gain. That is Master Sun's point. No matter how hellacious all things seem, there will always be a way out and through. We must bravely look for that, always.
@POTUS@JonStancik@marklevinshow Every time you listen to the left speaking, you're going to hear of harm and calamity. Can you take it, and NOT buy in? No matter what, there will still be a tomorrow. There is going to be a 4 November 2020. And a 5. What will you be doing on that day?
@POTUS@JonStancik@marklevinshow I know what I'll be doing. I will be working on the #100kMAGALeaders mission. Honestly, I don't imagine we'll have a full complement, yet, by then. I don't care. I'll be working on that mission for the rest of my life, whether we win or lose elections. This is bigger than that.
@POTUS@JonStancik@marklevinshow I could be wrong! Maybe we will have 100,000 small, high performing #MAGA teams by then. Okay, that's a best case scenario. And again, I know what I'll be doing on 5 November 2020. I'll be working to serve those leaders and their teams, by Master Sun's counsel.

The brilliant tweet below, by my friend @FloridaBoyMedia, solved a YUGE problem for me. Why did @realDonaldTrump support @kevinomccarthy for speaker? Until the tweet below, I could not square that circle. Now I can.
2) The simple fact is that McCArthy is a natural enemy of Trump's, and of the #MAGA Movement, exactly as Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell are. All of us sycophantic Trump supporters wanted him to be a temporary Speaker, himself. Alas.
3) Thing is, if we know nothing else about Trump, we know he does business with his enemies. Think of Kim Jong Un. No missile tests during Trump's administration. And how many since Let's Go Brandon? It ain't zero.
2) I was not in DC for the 6 January 2021 Rally. I wanted to go. Fiercely. It wounded my ego to NOT go. Allow me a martial arts term: Zanshin. It comes from the Samurai and means your sense of threat or danger. For the Samurai it was almost a mystical concept.
3) In Akira Kurosawa's great film The 7 Samurai (which was the basis of the Magnificent 7), there is a scene in which a Samurai being recruited and tested, refuses to walk past an open door, which was, in fact, hiding an attacker. He was the greatest recruit. That was Zanshin.
1/ I have now watched our podcast below. If you haven't seen it yet, find the time. It's worth it. I sure wish I could learn to make my eyes look at the camera instead of the person's face on screen. Alas.
2/ As to the coming thread, though, I walk away feeling some other ground needs to be covered. Try to stick tight if you can. Look at this list:
1) Doctrine 2) Strategy 3) Tactics 4) Execution
Why does it seem the other side has all four, but we only have the last two?
3/ I want you to try to answer that question for yourself, and my spoiler alert is for the next tweet, not this one. And by all means, please comment. Let me know what your thoughts are, please.
Can you say "getting into the weeds?" I don't imagine too many will care, but for some strange reason I've decided I want to know about the Rules Package. So, here's the best version of the current package I've yet found.
2) The PDF above is the one they call "The 55 Pages."
So, knowing I do not know this language, I decide to just start reading and here's a screenshot of the first thing I find.
3) Who knew? Who had any idea? the 118th Congress begins its own rules by adopting the rules from the 117th Congress. I'd never have imagined. Okay, a bit of searching - it does NOT pop right up - and, I found this:
General Flynn's voice is heard strong and clear. He pulls incredible audiences. His analysis and writings are very powerful as well. Here's his New Year's guidance!
2) We'll walk through his counsel in detail later in this thread (which may take a few days to complete). But let's cut straight to the chase. @elonmusk, can you give General Flynn his Twitter account back, please?
3) No, @elonmusk, there is not - to my knowledge - a major Twitter story behind the unhinged attacks that our government executed against General Flynn and his family. But, the simple fact of his purging from Twitter is, in its own right, an important story.
Analysis 4 - 31 December 2022 - Hammer & Scorecard
Do you follow @maryclairerose? If not, please do so right now! She will be our guide in today's work. She's one of our very best analyst/writers, period.
2) We'll dive into @maryclairerose's work in a moment. First, I have a bit of backstory to share. I met Marcy Claire in 2016. I'll never forget the call I got, shortly after we met, where Mary Claire explained the illegality of Obama's money drop to Iran. Who remembers that?
3) Mary Claire always combines brilliance with patriotic passion. Throw in far more than anyone's fair share of writing talent and you start to get the picture. As I recall it, none of her editors were willing to run with her scoop.
