On the menu today: Last week brought a pair of odd and troubling comments from New York governor Kathy Hochul and aspiring Florida governor Charlie Crist, both echoing an arrogant decree from former New York governor Andrew Cuomo and suggesting that a governor has the moral authority to decide which political values are acceptable in his or her state. What happens when this arrogant mentality really takes hold? Meanwhile, Chris Stirewalt, the former political editor of Fox News Channel, shares a hard lesson about telling people things they don’t want to hear. And the reader reviews of Gathering Five Storms continue to roll in. Sure, a future second American civil

Hearing Miss Lindsey call for riots is a hoot. We need a John Galt movement with producers shutting down for 15 days to stop the spread. Of Facism. If enough farmers, small business owners, oil field workers and truck drivers stop working for two weeks the coastal elites will be in a panic.

One side runs around burning buildings, beating people who disagree with them, carrying various weapons from clubs to rifles. And it isn't the Constitutionalists. And it will go just like it did in Kenosha. The violent, crazied and paid destroyers of the left will be laying flat very rapidly if they insist on attacking people. One of them came up to a truck, at an illegal roadblock, waving his AK rifle in the face of the truck driver and spouting all sorts of violent nonsense. He was instantly dead, shot in what was ALSO ruled as self defense, like the Kenosha case.
We are not looking for this violence. We do not want violence. We want our rights respected and to be left alone. Attack us at your peril.

"No society is more than three meals away from revolution". 15 days? People rebel before they starve. That happens well before 15 days. WE feed the world. THEY have time to complain about pronouns with all their spare time. They don't want to push us far enough to stop. But I'll simply stop far before I'd ever riot. What use is rioting for us? Jews rioting in Germany in 1941 would have resulted in more being killed sooner and nothing else.

Jim Geraghty is a Never Trumper who probably voted for Biden. He and the other eggheads at NR are partly responsible for what has happened in the last two years of Biden & Co.

You and her fight...I got no interest at the moment. Still waiting for the Texit.

Were it not for the left's control of our police in most of its forms, this revolution would not end well for them. But they do control the FBI and thousands of increasingly well-armed deep staters who whether immoral or not are likely to do what they are told.

The people, left or right side, have no power. The civil war will be at the top, if there ever is one. I wouldn't stay up waiting for Mitch McConnell or McCarthy to lead one.

I'd rather refer to any possible war as the second American revolution rather than as a civil war.

Uh, the deep state? Aka the dims, msm, globalists, and the rinos? But honestly, not us. We just want to live our lives as we wish, the right way under God. But if this leftist cabal doesn't get it soon...

The communists have been pushing for this for the last 15 years. Arguably the last 100. Everything they do has a net result of taking peoples money or their freedom. They have never restored freedom. The republicans are the same, just not as obvious about it.
When things get hot I would not want to be one of those baby kissing, bribe taking, lie telling botox politicians.

For almost all of my 80 years and even as a Southerner, I thought the outcome of the American Civil War was for the best. It saved the Union and we became the greatest country on earth. No longer. Lincoln’s illegal bloody war concentrated federal power into what is now an out of control federal oligarchy that wants to dominate and dictate every aspect of our lives. It’s beholden to maintaining ultimate power and control and following the ideas of the WEF for a unified planet-wide dictatorship. Now, I wish to God that the South had won.

In 1861 it was Republicans. In 2022 it's Republicans. Democrats are going to be sorry.

#9, I am in complete agreement. Numerous parallels can be drawn at this very moment.

In History there is always someone(Napoleon or Washington)ready to step up in these situations.
They are usually cunning,ruthless,smart,well organized & charismatic.
We may not know who that is until that "moment" comes.
But if it comes it will be fast & decisive.

Shut down all food, gas and heating oil shipments to the NE and CA. Bottle up all ports of entry or major airports. Truckers, do your stuff and watch how these Commies retreat.
