Steve Deace on Gab: 'As one of the rare people to both be personal friends with Chip Roy while also desperately believing the Trump presidency must succeed for the future of the country, I have some thoughts I'd like to share on their current fight here on my final work day of the year. Do with them what you will. This fight is long overdue on the Right and needed. We not only shouldn't run from it, but encourage it (albeit with some ground rules). Because it indicates our side, for the first time since the Contract with America, is finally serious about governing on some level. Paradigm-shifts are hard and messy. Becoming the new paradigm even harder and messier. Right after fighting the Red Coats, the Founding Fathers fought each other over what to become next. That turned out alright. Because Trump beat the Democrats, we now get to do the same. And that will turn out alright, too, if we have the right fight -- regardless of who wins. First, no matter the camp you're in, everybody needs to remember why we are here. We are here because the Republican Party prior to men like Trump and Chip ssssssssuuuuuuucccckkkkkkeeddddd. And that's when it wasn't being feckless. People turn to disrupters (Trump) and idealists (Chip) when the system of managers and realists fails them. And the Republican Party before these men was a failure. Each of these men now represent movements (MAGA and conservatism) trying to pick up the pieces of that generational failure and save the country from the Marxist Democrats. Each of these men also represent archetypes of those who forged and sustained America. Trump is a throwback to the iconoclastic captains of industry and disrupters of old (Vanderbilt, Carnegie, Rockefeller, Long, etc.). No wonder his favorite movie is Citizen Kane. What he has built with his life is literally the stuff of legend. Speaking of movies, Chip is like if Kevin Costner's character in Field of Dreams and Jimmy Stewart's in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington had a baby. People think I'm a stubborn idealist. I'm an amoeba compared to Chip freaking Roy. Trump is the man on the wall doing a very great work. Chip is the voice in the wilderness demanding straight paths. Trump is to whom you turn to blow things up, but Chip is whom we need to make sure we don't blow everything up. Both men also literally cheated death to serve the country they love. Chip defeated cancer, and then got elected to Congress. Trump dodged two attempts to JFK him, and got elected president. Trump represents the new and emerging wave of populism that is rightly tired of screw-you-as-usual government and fill-in-the-blank global interest first. Roy symbolizes a long abused and often abandoned conservativism based on our founding principles, which the GOP gave up on even before it actually tried it. Why do I tell you all this? Because it is vitally important for both sides to truly understand where the other is coming from if we are all to succeed in this moment requiring so. Both men, as well as all those they represent. We do not all agree, but we are all on the same side. We all fought the globalists. We all fought the Marxists. We all want to save America. And both sides are actually right. Chip is correct, we must address the fiscal cliff, and government overspending and printing is the primary cause of our inflation problems. Chip is essentially the manifestation of what Elon Musk hopes his DOGE will eventually become. However, Trump is also correct the debt ceiling is a mirage, except as a political tool of leverage. He is right Democrats will use it against him the next four years after disregarding it the last four. For example, did you know we have already increased the debt ceiling MORE THAN 100 TIMES? That's, um, not much of a ceiling. The debt ceiling is the Dylan Mulvaney of ceilings. MAGA is correct we need maximum flexibility now to take advantage of this short window of time the last election bought us. Conservatives are correct that if we do not at least begin addressing our long-term problems this short-term will be even shorter than we all fear. So what's the solution here? Permit me to put on my newfound grandpa hat, and boy I do love the way it fits, and with all the wisdom that comes with age and answer this question with a sturdy....I don't know. But I do know what isn't. Primarying Chip Roy is a fools' errand. He just out-performed Trump in all 10 counties in his district. He's too loved by the people. And even if you produced a poll tomorrow that showed he was toast, he's so damned stubborn he'd just triple down and really show you what zero Fs given means. Most days he questions being in that den of iniquity instead of with his family as it is. You can't intimidate someone who truly doesn't care. Trump also risks fracturing his own base. People are already asking questions like, "Why is Trump going after solid conservative Chip Roy but not Lindsey Graham and Joni Ernst, who are literally blocking his cabinet picks?" Likewise, going right at the king is also tilting at windmills. The hopes of tens of millions now reside with Trump and his mandate. If Trump fails, it's not hyperbole to say it could be the country's last chance. And many of these people are still new to politics so they don't get all the nuance yet and frankly don't care. Thus they feel you're attacking them when you attack their guy. He's the only political hope they have. So even if you ding him (you can't), it would be a Pyrrhic victory since you're also gut-punching your own base, too. Pace yourselves, folks. We aren't even fully in power yet, and already holding existential knives to each others' throats. And the Democrats are absolutely loving it. Waiting for us to fail again, so they can take back power and finish us off. Everyone take a deep breath and step back from the ledge. We need to hash this out, and vigorously. But before we ready, fire, aim, let's all realize where both sides are coming from and that we both want to save the country we all love. And both our perceived leaders have sacrificed a lot themselves to that end. There isn't a villain here. Just mutual heroes trying to forge a path along a narrow road. Remember that, always, and then have your vigorous argument. Oh, and Merry Christmas.'

What can we do about it? Why is the government lying to us? Why can’t we get a straight answer from the ‘authorities?’ Conspiracy theories are the inevitable result of their smoke blowing. Are the drones searching out hidden nuclear devices? Are they there to test biological warfare? Are they testing the reactions of citizens in what could be WWIII and impending martial law? Is this the beginning of “Project Blue Beam?” Perhaps it’s nothing more than a giant distraction from Joe Biden’s profligate pardon spree. much much more at the link at https://grrrgraphics.com/drone-for-the-holidays/'

Grizzled Old Nam Vet - Follow on Gab: '😆 🤔 😎 I WONDER IF THEY'RE STILL LAUGHING 😎 🤔 😆 Talking about that team of CIA agents at Langley WHEN THE GROUP IN THE BACK ROOM WAS TASKED WITH THE JOB OF GETTING BARACK OBAMA READY TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT A couple of guys on the team, who were considered the jokers of the group, suggested that they create "Michelle" out of Michael, Obama's gay lover. The rest of the guys thought that would be hilarious, so they got approval from the front office to go ahead with it. So, that's how BHO ended up with 26 different Social Security accounts, with one he uses now belonging to a dead guy in Connecticut. They had to assassinate the 3 gay buddies of BHO ( from the Down Low Club) before he could run for President THE BOOK WOULD BE A BEST-SELLER But, I won't write it because I want to live for a few more years 😎☠️😬 Public Notice: Prepper Grizz and Grizzled Old Nam Vet are not suicidal #TakeRedPill 💊'

Tricia on Gab: 'This is what Biden & the democrats are about! Remember next time you vote. http://CoffeeandCovid.com: Looking at the cast of criminals moronically swept into Biden’s pardon, my working hypothesis is there was one particular crook who Biden wanted to pardon, but the case was so ugly that Joe pardoned 1,500 of them, to hide the one he really wanted. You know, strategic ambiguity. I don’t want to hear any complaints from Democrats over who Trump pardons or how many. As folks sort the stack of Biden’s 1,500 pardons, some real stinkers have surfaced. Local WGAL Pennsylvania ran a story yesterday headlined, “Kids-for-cash judge's sentence commuted by Biden.” Get ready to get angry. Michael Conahan, 72, a former Luzerne County judge, was sentenced to prison 10 years ago for running a “kids-for-cash” racket with former judge Mark Ciavarella. While receiving $2.8 million in bribes and kickbacks from developers, the two judges funneled kids as young as 8 into a harsh private correctional facility that was paying them under the table. Under cover of a “zero tolerance” policy, the two men unlawfully jailed thousands of children with shockingly strict sentences. For instance, Judge Conahan sentenced one teenager with no prior legal problems to three months in juvenile detention for creating a MySpace page that mocked an assistant principal at her school. Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court ultimately vacated over 4,000 juvenile convictions involving more than 2,300 kids after Conahan and Ciavarella’s schemes were finally put to a stop. Conahan got 17 years and Ciavarella got 28; the two judges were ordered to pay back $200 million in restitution to the victims. I found no evidence that any payments were ever made and I doubt it happened. The story was a pretty big deal, although you can be forgiven not having heard of it before. Here is a link to one of the documentaries. Here is a link to one of the “Kids for Cash” books, this one published this year, titled “Shackled: A Tale of Wronged Kids, Rogue Judges, and a Town that Looked Away.” The scandal was widely covered by local media at the time (2010-11) and for years afterward, as the civil case worked its way through the system. For example, here’s a headline from the Morning Call, 2021: "He screwed up my life': More than 300 survivors of 'Kids for Cash' scandal tell horror stories in civil case against judges in Luzerne County Anyway, the notorious, disgraced judge Conahan —while he sat on the bench, “The Boss”— was fortunate enough to be jailed in blue Miami and have high blood pressure. Ciavarella was not so lucky. He was not in a covid “high risk” category and so remains in prison in North Carolina. (Judge Ciavarella’s application for compassionate covid release was denied.) But Judge Conahan was “compassionately” released to home confinement in 2020 as part of Pennsylvania’s pandemic mitigation strategy. Biden’s blanket pardon broadly swept up non-violent prisoners who were on covid home release, which included Judge Conahan. Conahan is now a free man, liberated even from home confinement. Judge Conahan received the leniency he never showed to the children who appeared before the “no-nonsense” judge in his “zero tolerance” courtroom.'

CherylGGab2 on Gab: '18 USC Chapter 47 - Addressing FRAUD - Know it and Use It against the Deep State'

Craig Schaaf on Gab: 'We Need Mature Visionaries I am not exactly sure who needs to hear this message, but the Lord has been speaking to me quite strongly today as I have been working here on the farm. This comes from someone that understands first hand what it is like to be a visionary, and to see the effect that it can have on a family, good and bad. I think Gab has a large number of people that will be able to relate to what is shared here. First off, if you are a parent of a child that is a visionary, it can be a tough row to hoe. Young visionaries must be homeschooled. The public school system has been designed (by communist thinking) to mold children’s minds into being conformists. Obviously for that reason I think most children should be homeschooled, but with a visionary it will be critical. The visionary comes hardwired to think outside the box. They don’t see things the way most people see them. When communist take over a country, most of the visionaries are taken out and shot. The government knows that they will not be able to force them to follow mindlessly along. I am sure that Covid was staged in part to identify these individuals within the culture. I would go to the grocery store and be the only one without a mask. I would have people come up to me saying they wished they could be so bold. It wasn’t so much boldness on my part. I just don’t feel compelled to observe cultural norms that real science deemed silly. Scientists in California told people for years that masks will not help with smoke from a forest fire, but change their message with Covid, something way smaller than smoke particles. I went to public schools and it was torture. I was the child that was constantly caught day dreaming, looking out the window. For the first 15 years of my life I thought I must be stupid. I just couldn’t concentrate on what everyone else was being forced to do. I was very much in my own little world. I did well in music, both band and choir. If it wasn’t for my high music grades I never would have graduated. Fortunately I have a wise mother that said to me my junior year of high school, “collage isn’t for everyone”. To have a parent that didn’t make me feel forced to continue down this worldly educational path was a great blessing. I am a Gen X’er. I am sure many of the latch key kids from the 70’s and 80’s will be able to relate with me when I say, that when I would get home from school I was out tromping around the woods, building forts and getting muddy! But most of all I was consumed by fishing. So much so that one day my dad said to me in frustration, “you just better forget about all this fishing, it will never amount to anything”. Before I gave my heart to the Lord at age 17, fishing was my god. When I was 16 I was working at a fly fishing store and met a man from England that was a very famous European Match Fisherman. His name was Mick Thill. He was a gold metal winner twice in the World Match Fishing Championships. In fact he is the only individual to win a gold metal in Match Fishing and the World Ice Fishing Championship as well. I had no clue who the guy was, but he ended up asking me to be a member of the first United States Match Fishing Team. We competed in 1987 in Ireland in the World Youth Match Fishing Championship. I will never forget going with my father to the Detroit airport and getting ready to board first class British Airways and turning to him and saying “dad do you remember when you told me this would never amount to anything”. We still get a good laugh about it. God was very gracious to me to have given me this opportunity when I was a junior in High School. It took a lot of pressure off of me, while everyone else was focusing on and getting stressed out trying to get into a good collage. It is very important that a visionary is encouraged to excel at whatever they are passionate about. Read that sentence again if you need to. I learned a lot about myself during this time. A few years later I was dating a girl that was going to MSU. I had gone to visit her at her parents house and she was finishing some of her home work. She was upset and I ask her what was wrong. She said that her advanced calculus class was given a story problem and no one in the class was able to come up with the answer. The professor ended up giving the answer to the students but told them they needed to still figure out all the equations. I asked her what the story problem was. She read it to me and in about 10 seconds I told her the answer. She about fell out of her chair. She was so upset. How did this guy that almost didn’t graduate from high school, so matter of factly just come up with the answer, when no one else could. At the time I was thinking it didn’t seem all that hard. This was an important moment for me. I started to realize that my mind doesn’t work the same way other people’s minds work. I do not feel I am somehow superior, only very different. I couldn’t even get though Algebra 1 in High School. Most people can do that. I don’t think they are superior to me, just different. I started to excel at the things I was passionate about. In fact I learned that was the secret at least for me to be successful. Other peoples lives are touched, when someone is skilled at something they are passionate about. I see it all the time as I share with people here on Gab about my passion for gardening to the Glory of God. I hear quite a few comments from people thanking me for inspiring them. But right here is where I need to point out something about visionaries. The number one struggle to be a successful visionary is work ethic, not just the ability to work hard, but to be able to motivate yourself. Remember, if you are a visionary, you hold something within you that no one else is feeling. It will be pretty much up to you to see to it that the vision is pursued, and how it is pursued. The vast majority of visionaries stagnate and are discouraged a lot of the time. Because the system did squeeze them into the mold or they never developed the ability to be self motivated to achieve their vision. Visionaries are often self educated. I am. Many times after I have taught a gardening seminar, people will assume I have some kind of a collage degree. Another way to look at this, is seeing the visionary as the pioneer. They are the ones that are looking forward, to go where no one else has considered going. Or is too afraid to go. It took very special wives to be married to the men that foraged the paths west in the 1800’s. A pioneer feels compelled. They are restless. They are very strong individuals. If you try to force them to conform to what you want, they will be miserable. They often are very rich or quite poor. Very few visionaries are middle class. If you choose to marry one, you may feel like you are along for the ride. They do not make the best team players. They can be leaders, but generally do not feel compelled to lead. In fact they wish others would join them because they feel compelled the same way. But very few people will be able to relate to the inner workings of a true visionary. They will be accused of having too independent of a spirit. They will be told that they don’t properly submit to mans authority structures. They will often be told that they are not accountable to anyone as they should be. This is a difficult one for them because people just don’t understand where they are coming from and how they perceive things. Even if the visionary takes the time to explain their heart to someone else, often the other person will just not get it. They often will be found in the background not really feeling like they are truly a part of the group. But be fine with it. They don’t necessarily feel like they have to belong. That is what allows them to be pioneers, with the ability to strike out to the unknown. Most people could not walk in their shoes because of having to belong. That is where the marriage can really struggle. When the wife does feel very much compelled to belong but the husband if fine not too. Immature visionaries often sit on the sidelines wishing someone would encourage them. There will be young men that will read this and get tears in their eyes. If you are the parent of a visionary, or the spouse of a visionary, it can be a difficult situation. The immature visionary (there are 50 year old immature visionaries) can be really difficult to live with at times. Because of that, it works against them, keeping from them the one thing they need most. Someone that will love and encourage them. It takes a parent or spouse that is very mature to rise above the situation and see it for what it is. An immature visionary can be passionately thinking out loud about one thing one moment and something totally different the next. Visionaries perceive change as something that is inevitable and welcome it. To a wife that struggles with insecurity this can be difficult, most woman hate change. How does the wife know from one minute to the next how to encourage them or what will change next. There are some wives right now that know exactly what I am talking about. If you are a parent or a spouse don’t give up. Try to encourage them in something they are passionate about. If it changes don’t be critical of them. It can be very hard for a visionary to learn to fly. But when they do learn, they often soar very high. If you’re the immature visionary though, see this for what it is, and take steps to learn to conduct yourself in a way that will help the situation, and be edifying for others. I will guarantee you that many of the most outspoken potty mouths on Gab, are immature visionaries that never grew up. They feel rejected and isolated and don’t know how to edify anyone. They just continue to reject other people instead. This world needs visionaries though. Many of the most important discoveries of all time were from mature visionaries. We need men that are willing to think, and live outside the box. Willing to go and do the things most people would be too insecure to do. But we also need mature wives that will come along side them and love them through the difficult times, and encourage them to keep going when the going gets tough. Women, if you will commit to this for the long term, you will see the fruit of it. If you could feel what your husband feels, inside his heart when you seek to encourage him in a difficult time, when it feels like everyone else has rejected them. If you could feel what he is feeling because of your encouragement, you would press even harder into it. Even the strongest and most mature visionaries need the love and encouragement of a good wife. There are many visionaries that end up staying single or end up with broken marriages. It takes a very special woman to be married to a visionary. They are very hard to find. I can only speak for myself, but I don’t know how someone would do it without a relationship with the One that Created them, the Lord Jesus Christ. God created me for specific purposes. He wants me to excel and soar as a visionary. But I need His direction. I need resources at times. Not once has the Lord given me a vision for something, and not provided what was needed, if I was patient to wait for His timing. Proverbs 16:9 A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps. Psalm 37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. I think this is one of the reasons I excel, and am so blessed in what I put my hands to. I desire His timing, and to do it for His glory. I hope these scattered thoughts will be a help to someone. I would very much like to hear edifying stories in the comments. God bless you all!'
