                           "LOVE'S LINES, ANGLES AND RHYMES"-THE FIFTH DIMENSION





                                               "LAZY DAY"-SPANKY AND OUR GANG







Welcome to the weekend its the day after Christmas and I trust its been as restful for you as it has for me.




IS IT REAL NEWS OR FAKE NEWS< THE TRUTH COMES OUT IN THE END





THE GUIDE TO WHAT'S REALLY GOING                            ON  HERE AND NOW



Got a book here in front of me.



                   "The Art Of The Comeback"




                                         Donald J. Trump





Lets give you the Top Ten Comeback Tips from Trump:




1.  Play Golf-It helped me relax and concentrate...



2.  Stay Focused-I am convinced that if I had maintained the same work ethic I had during the 1970's and most of the 1980's there would have been no recession for me...


3.  Be Paranoid-I have noticed over the years that people who are guarded or, to put it more cold, slightly paranoid, end up being more successful...


4.   Be Passionate-This is key ingredient to success and coming back...



5.  Go Against The Tide-....




6.  Go With Your Gut-Some of the greatest investors I have ever known invest by instinct, rather than research, study or hard work...



7.  Work With People You Like-If you go to the office and don't find the energy in the people you work with,  it is highly unlikely that you will be energized towards success.



8.  Be Lucky-I hate to put this in the book because it can't be acquired...



9.  Get Even-During the bad times I learned who was loyal and who wasn't.   I believe in an eye for an eye.     A couple of people who betrayed me need my help now, and I am screwing them against the wall!   I am doing a number...and I'm having so much fun.


10.  Always Have A Prenuptial Agreement-Anyone in a complicated business should be institutionalized if he or she gets married without one...



Perhaps this will help us all to better understand the situation on the ground with President Trump right now who I sense is in political campaign mode working to keep up his popularity and viability for the days ahead...whatever those days may hold.    He wants his supporters to believe in him even if he ends up leaving the White House on January 20th.



Americans not happy in the millions with the election situation as it has unfolded and the betrayal of the POTUS  by the GOP Insiders.     The stench of the "Conservative Movement" and its promise of the right kind of court decisions with the right kind of justices on the Supreme Court looking like a farce right now.



There's plenty of tensions related to the coronavirus situation and we will be moving onto that but I will say this if Trump isn't "around" and if his enemies don't allow him "to be around" there is a leadership vacuum.



Only Trump can control millions of people who will do other things if their leader is silenced or neutralized in any way, shape or form.   The "other things" might not be so nice.



The GOP Media Establishment trying to hook onto issues to suck in the masses  emotional wedges emotional issues "voter fraud" will be the talk of the town without any action be taken to bring justice to the situation.



The Democrat governors will be blamed for coronavirus shutdowns and so on mask rules etc. but the Republicans in power did this too and Dr. Deborah Birx of the "White House Coronavirus Task Force" chaired by Republican Vice-President Mike Pence roamed the country telling Republican governors what to do and they did it time and time again in recent months.    Pence called Birx his "right arm".

          CORONAVIRUS TYRANNY IN REPUBLICAN LED IDAHO




"I,  along with Aaron and Jill, were also arrested for "trespassing" at the Capitol.  But why?  Hundreds of other citizens were at the Capitol at the same time.  Why weren't they all arrested?   It should be obvious that they wanted to make examples out of us"



Ammon Bundy talks about the experience he and two other citizens had when they came to the State Capitol to attend legislative sessions and hearings on coronavirus legislation last August.




Just days ago (December 23rd) Ammon Bundy and Aaron Schmidt had a pre-trial hearing via Zoom where they made their case about the denial of their rights and the court proceedings against them with no face to face hearings or jury trials now allowed.


They were arrested last August at Idaho's State Capitol as they tried to participate as citizens in a process where coronavirus legislation was being considered by the Republican-run legislature.     Now new procedures-restrictions are being rolled out for the next legislative session in January using COVID-19 as the pretext.


Ammon Bundy has laid out what happened last August and what was wrong about it in light of the rights given to the people of the United States and the people of Idaho.

IT HAPPENED IN OREGON LAST MONDAY-THE PUBLIC KEPT OUT OF A LEGISLATIVE SESSION




The Constitution of Oregon says the public should be given access to legislative meetings but this did not happen when the legislature met last Monday December 21st.


The public kept out and police on hand to enforce that notion.



This communication sent out via the People's Rights website Monday evening:




"Patriots did storm the gates and tried to enforce Article 4, Section 14 of the Oregon Constitution.    They were met with rubber bullets to the face, pepper spray, tear gas and physical assault by the Oregon State Police"




What does one expect from the killers of LaVoy Finicum, I would say.



More in that communication:



"Tensions escalated quickly when patriots met officers stacked in riot gear equipped with weapons of war.  At one point a 12-year old child was pepper sprayed and a woman shot in the face with a rubber bullet.   An elderly man with one eye was forced to the ground and physically beaten"



Reminds me of some of the stories posted in the context of those Yellow Vests protests in France.



But it happened in Salem, Oregon.



And here's a short video of folks trying to gain access to the State Capitol in Oregon last Monday....






Now a longer five hour multistream video version of events last Monday......

We've lost so many this year with COVID-19 getting the blame a lot although many dispute the rush to attribute any and all deaths to the coronavirus.    Let us have more dispute of the "party line" of propaganda when we should not trust media that are shills for agendas and have no minds to question what they are told.



But let us remember Clancy Imislund who passed away at the age of 93 in August of this year.

NEXTRUSH UNPLUGGED: CHRISTMAS PARTY

 





Welcome to Christmas and Burl Ives singing "Have A Holly Jolly Christmas" to start things off...


"Ho Ho the mistletoe hung where you can see somebody waits for you kiss her once for me"


That line getting some flak in recent years all the "Me Too" brouhaha.


My perspective takes me back to my younger days and my participation in religious activities a woman speaking to the girls warning them about the:


"kiss that demands a response"



I guess decades later I've come to realize that a kiss doesn't have to selfish or lustful which is something I couldn't understand in my childish intoxicated younger days.


Speaking of mistletoe Dr. Fauci why don't you meet me under it.    I have some "cheeks" for you to kiss...

And indeed it did happen during World War I when the soldiers on both sides decided that the fighting ordered by their higher ups wasn't going to be happening at Christmas...









Too many orders from higher ups nowadays indeed my friends....



At Christmas "The First Circle" television series based on Aleksandr Solzehnitsyn's novel and when a prisoner was allowed to meet family "social distancing" was expected and the rule was enforced by the presence of the secret police at the family meetings.    That figures in episode number four....
