Tomorrow, I will sound off strongly on the Flynn case and its developments of this sad day. Tonight, however, I must speak briefly in honor of @SidneyPowell1. I can't hold back. I am angry at Sean Hannity over tonight's interview.
2) The point must be stated. He was rude. He pontificates first. Gives Sidney a moment or two. Cuts her off. Sums up. Moves on. I have often felt this way about Sean's interviews, but I have never, to my recollection, expressed this disapprobation in public before.
3) Granted, there's lots of news today. Okay. But if you're going to invite the great @SidneyPowell1 to your show, you us, your viewers, at least the courtesy of letting us hear what she has to say. There is no greater hero in the American legal field today than Sidney.
4) There is no greater travesty of injustice in American Jurisprudence today than @GenFlynn's case. There is no greater threat to the Rule of Law, or case that strengthens and empowers the forces of evil in America today. The DC Swamp revels tonight. They are happy.
5) Our tax dollars fund their champagne bottles and perfectly cooked steaks at an easy $40 or $50 per cut. They are laughing at General Flynn tonight, knowing he's 100% innocent and still under their evil thumbs. The perfect shrimp cocktails can't come fast enough.
6) I cannot adequately express my gall and rage, my indignation and disdain. And Sean, he granted them this happy celebration for his own part. I will lay out the logic slowly and carefully tomorrow. Tonight, I'll tell you this. Gen Flynn was relegated to BAD STORY status today.
7) The Washington crew want quick, certain victories. If there's a long, slow, difficult slog, if you don't look like tomorrow's winning headline, then you're just another BAD STORY to them. They have no principles. They have no missions. Just the news cycle.
8) These are the folks constantly telling POTUS that he needs to wait till after the election before he pardons Flynn. Somehow, Stone got through. But NOT Flynn. Stone was, evidently, NOT such a bad story that he couldn't get his pardon. Flynn, well, not so much.
9) And to all you wonderful - and I mean that - Exoneration advocates...I honestly hate to say it... but I've been right since day one. You have been wrong. It's painful, but sooner or later you'll need to admit you were wrong. You were.
10) I'll close out for tonight with just this. The logic was inexorable, and I always saw it. A corrupt court has NO STANDING to exonerate. Snakes don't police snakes. Foxes don't advocate for hens. This court system will not, cannot exonerate this innocent man. More tomorrow.
11) Thread ends at #10.

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.
