Where’s the Hope Newsletter #19: Border Crisis Continues, China Asserts Dominance, Trump’s Tell All & Social Media Co.

(Ryan DeLarme) Another fun week under the Biden administration, where we saw Biden fall three times while boarding the President’s plane, China disrespect, Trump’s first Tell All interview, and a continuation of the fierce Twitter battle between Candace Owens and Cardi B. Perhaps the most hopeful bit, a hand recount of votes in Maricopa county AZ as well as a ‘detailed’ audit of the voting machines.

Everything the Deep-State and its media have done is coming back to haunt them, exposing them at each turn. This is a slow game but tension has been building, and each and every day more eyes are being opened to the establishment’s fraudulent narrative.

Let’s start with election fraud, or more precisely; the campaign to cover it up.

Guess who’s getting an “A” for effort this week? Republicans finally realized that Hillary Clinton’s personal attorney is behind nearly every 2020 election lawsuit and has a further conflict of Interest in attempting to steal Iowa republican house seat.

Marc Elias was involved in the Steele dossier, which was the garbage report created to slander first candidate and then President Trump, by falsely tying him to Russia while crippling his Administration.  Elias was there from the start.

Next came the 2020 election where Elias was involved in nearly every case involving the election across the nation.  He was involved in the court cases in Wisconsin arguing for drop boxes for ballots in that state in the 2020 election despite no provisions in Wisconsin law to do so.

Elias was behind not one, but two big cases in Georgia, and a case in North Carolina as well.

Now Elias is representing the Democrat who lost the closest House election in 2020.   FOX News reports:

House Republicans are raising “serious” ethical concerns in the contentious effort to overturn the six-vote victory of GOP Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks in Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District.

In the case, Democrat Rita Hart is asking the House Administration Committee to investigate 22 ballots she alleges were not properly tallied that would make her the real winner of the seat.

The House Administration Committee is currently weighing whether or not to launch a recount effort that could ultimately decide whether Miller-Meeks is removed from office, and Hart is sworn in as the new representative.

Republicans on the House Administration Committee, however, say Hart’s high-profile lawyer on the case, Mark Elias, has serious conflicts of interest because he and his firm Perkins Coie also represent half of the Democratic committee members who will be deciding the case.

No shame and overconfidence that there will be zero accountability. This brings us to our next tidbit, which will further show that the fraudulent election is still being contested.

Last week we wrote about Maricopa county AZ and all the irregularities that have happened there regarding the 2020 Presidential election, well this week we are seeing Arizona commit to a ‘Full Hand Recount’, as well as a ‘broad and detailed’ audit of voting machines. This is great news!

The imminent action was announced Thursday.

“This audit will be broad and detailed: the team will include, but is not limited to, testing the machines, scanning the ballots, performing a full hand count, and checking for any IT breaches,” Senate President Karen Fann said in a release.

In December, the state Senate’s Judiciary Committee voted to issue subpoenas and seize machines made by Dominion Voting Systems that were used in Maricopa County.

“As thousands of our voters continue to call for a thorough audit of the 2020 election in Maricopa County, I am pleased to report we have narrowed it down to a preferred forensic audit team. We are negotiating final details on the execution of the audit and hope to have an announcement soon,” Fann said in the statement.

“Our desire is to work closely with the County Board of Supervisors, and the Senate continues to believe the proper location of the audit is at the County, to preserve the chain of custody and maintain the security of the ballots and equipment,” she said in the statement.

In a statement, Fann said cooperation is key.

“Our goal is to make this a bipartisan effort with full transparency and in joint cooperation with Maricopa County officials. We’ve been reaching out to experts on election processes in Arizona and around the nation and hope to have the best and brightest involved in the audit,” Fann said in the statement.

County officials have said repeatedly that multiple reviews have shown no problems with how the election was conducted.

Fann has said the issue of election integrity is “not going away.”

“We have tens of thousands of voters who have questions about the county’s election. Whether they’re founded or unfounded, I don’t know. We as a Senate body have an obligation to our constituents to get answers to their questions,” Fann has said.

“What we are trying is to prove to the voters of Maricopa County that they can trust and count on their election process,” Republican Sen. Rick Gray said. “I think that is reasonable. I think that is necessary.”

Next, we’ll be heading down to the controversial border crisis, where the Biden administration is having trouble controlling the false narrative that they campaigned on.

They aren’t letting the press in to cover the exploding humanitarian crisis (the small percentage who care about objectivity over propaganda), questions are being deflected, and hypocrisy is running rampant. Here’s a clip from a democratic debate where Joe tries to pin an inherited mess from the Obama era on to the Trump Admin. Take a listen:

Fast forward to today, we had Donald Trump phoning into Fox News and ripping Joe Biden Monday morning for his actions that have led to the border crisis. Trump reaffirmed that the Obama-Biden Admin built the cages for the migrant children.

Earlier Monday photos were leaked to Axios of children stuffed into crowded cages in squalid conditions at a US Customs and Border Protection overflow facility.

The photos show hundreds of children huddling on the floor of eight ‘pods’ – each of which are supposed to hold 260 people. One pod reportedly has over 400 unaccompanied male minors crammed together, according to Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX), who provided the photos to Axios to raise awareness about the situation.

A reported 15,000 unaccompanied child migrants are in U.S. custody this weekend, including 5,000 being kept in overcrowded Border Patrol stations not meant for children.

Biden’s handlers have a gag order on border patrol agents from speaking to the press during this growing crisis.

James O’Keefe and Project Veritas released MORE PHOTOS of Biden’s border kids in cages.

The children are packed into overcrowded holding facilities with hundreds of migrant kids.

James O’Keefe also reported that 50 of the children tested positive for the coronavirus.

And though he postures in a way as to suggest that he doesn’t want an influx of illegal immigrants, Biden’s border policies suggest otherwise. Even the immigrants themselves are ratting out Biden:

On the global stage, we see China taking shots at Joe Biden’s Secretary of State as well as accusing the US of human rights abuse… the same China that is forcing abortions and vasectomies on the Uighurs they’ve enslaved. This comes after A video began circulating of Biden Secretary of State Antony Blinken meeting with Chinese officials on Thursday, it’s certainly raising eyebrows about China’s relationship with the United States during the Biden administration.

The meeting between national leaders in Anchorage, Alaska, resulted in a heated argument, and critics have viewed the interaction as making the United States look foolish and weak.

“We’ll also discuss our deep concerns with actions by China, including in Xinjiang, Hong Kong, Taiwan, cyberattacks on the United States and economic coercion toward our allies,” Blinken said in his opening remarks, according to a transcript of the meeting.

“Each of these actions threaten the rules-based order that maintains global stability. That’s why they’re not merely internal matters and why we feel an obligation to raise these issues here today.

The Chinese delegation quickly snapped at Blinken and the other diplomats during the meeting, and belittled the position of the United States.

“Well, I think we thought too well of the United States. We thought that the U.S. side will follow the necessary diplomatic protocols. So for China it was necessary that we made our position clear,” a Chinese delegation spokesman said via a translator.

“So let me say here that, in front of the Chinese side, the United States does not have the qualification to say that it wants to speak to China from a position of strength. The U.S. side was not even qualified to say such things even 20 years or 30 years back, because this is not the way to deal with the Chinese people. If the United States wants to deal properly with the Chinese side, then let’s follow the necessary protocols and do things the right way.”

After the embarrassing meeting, President Joe Biden praised Blinken for his work when speaking with a press gaggle.

“I’m very proud of the secretary of state,” Biden said.

The United States has earned its reputation among its allies and adversaries as the most powerful country in the world, and it is clear China would like to take that spot.

https://twitter.com/SebGorka/status/1372914314663841797?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1372914314663841797%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.westernjournal.com%2Fwatch-china-humiliates-bidens-secretary-state-us-soil%2F

Judging by this clip, it is also abundantly clear that Blinken would like to be friendly with the Chinese government to ease tensions. However, it seems the Chinese government will take advantage of that behavior and walk all over the free world. China is pretending to have the moral high ground by having the audacity to shift the blame on human rights violations, when they are in fact conducting an atrocity that will go down as one of the greatest evils in the 21st century.

https://twitter.com/UyghurBulletin/status/1344937408484110336?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1344937408484110336%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fstillnessinthestorm.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D121022action%3Deditclassic-editor

From its crackdown on political speech to its detention of Uighur Muslims, the Chinese government is playing coy. This is not to say that the United States should not pursue diplomacy, but the tone certainly needs to shift in a manner that holds the communist nation accountable for its actions.

On the subject of Biden, we have a former Whitehouse Physician climbing that Biden hiding from cameras is a ‘major red-flag’.

this is coming from the Gateway Pundit:

Former White House physician for Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump, and current Texas Representative Ronnie Jackson posted an honest assessment on Joe Biden’s physical and mental condition today on Twitter.

Rep. Ronnie Jackson: I served as White House physician under THREE Presidents. I’ve seen what it takes physically AND mentally to do the job. I can tell you right now that the way Biden is hiding from the public is a MAJOR red flag. Something’s not right!

Joe is suffering from dementia and Joe is missing in action. After his triple-fall on Friday trying to climb the stairs to Air Force One, Joe Biden took the weekend off.

Maybe Kamala will be president sooner than we thought?

We have new news regarding the January 6th “Capitol Siege” coming by way of the good folks over at Judicial Watch.

The conservative watchdog group sued for information on Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick this past Friday. Tom Fitton sued the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) of the District of Columbia for Officer Sicknick’s autopsy and related records.

The mainstream media, with The New York Times leading the charge, lied about Sicknick’s death and falsely claimed he died from injuries suffered after being hit in the head with a fire extinguisher during the Capitol riot on January 6. The Gateway Pundit was first to report that Officer Sicknick may have died from a stroke:

A source has told TGP reporter Cassandra Fairbanks Sicknick had a “medical emergency” (possibly a stroke) while on duty during the protest.

It is not clear if it was connected or related to the unrest.

The Democrat-media complex is lying about Sicknick’s death and FBI Director Wray refused to answer questions about his death during a recent hearing.

Earlier this week two men were arrested for *assault* on police officer Brian Sicknick.

Julian Elie Khater, 32, of Pennsylvania, and George Pierre Tanios, 39 of Morgantown, are accused of assault.

According to the far-left Washington Post:

“Khater and Tanios are charged with nine counts including assaulting Sicknick, a U.S. Capitol Police officer identified as C. Edwards and a D.C. police officer identified as B. Chapman with a deadly weapon. They are also charged with civil disorder and obstruction of a Congressional proceeding. The charges are punishable by up to 20 years in prison.”

Judicial Watch said enough is enough so they are suing for Sicknick’s autopsy and other records related to his death:

We’re not going to get the full truth of events at the Capitol on January 6 from politicians or a dishonest media — no surprise there. So were going after it on our own.

We filed a District of Columbia Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit in the District of Columbia Superior Court against the District of Columbia for the autopsy of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick and related records (Judicial Watch v. District of Columbia (Case Number 2021 CA 000875 B)).

We sued after the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) of the District of Columbia denied our February 16, 2021, FOIA request for:

All records, including but not limited to autopsy reports, toxicology reports, notes, photographs, and OCME officials’ electronic communications, related to the death on Jan. 6, 2021 of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick and its related investigation.

Initial reports from the New York Times and other media outlets about the cause of Officer Sicknick’s death have subsequently been corrected and revised.

The unusual and unlawful secrecy about Officer Sicknick’s death investigation undermines public confidence in the fair administration of justice.

We also recently filed lawsuits for U.S. Capitol Police emails and video related to the riot and for Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s communications with the Pentagon in the days after the January 6th incident.

It will be particularly interesting to see if any politicians such as Nancy Pelosi or other outside officials communicated with the medical examiner’s office about Officer Sicknick.

Myanmar Military Deals Major Blow to Soros’ Open Society Foundation and Clinton-Obama Leadership

Justin produced an extensive video detailing the corruption in Myanmar, noting that the military is striking the heart of the Deep State apparatus there, which has connections to Clinton, Obama, and George Soros.

The Omen of Biden’s Fall

The meaning of Biden’s recent fall on his way up to the president’s plane as a symbol for what’s happening can’t be overstated.

Take a look.

On the dystopic side of things, his fall represents the fall of the office of the President, and in turn, the fall of the US as a result of what he represents as a globalist puppet if patriots do nothing. Thankfully, patriotism is on the rise the world over.

On the positive side of things, his fall represents the fall of the Deep State as personified by yet another empty vessel president—Biden—filled to the brim with globalist agendas and anti-life values.

God works in mysterious ways, and God also uses signs as the grand allegorist of creation.

I think it’s no accident that Biden fell on March 19th, 2021, which marks the astrotheological so-called “season of sacrifice“, which has historically been a 40-day window of time when the globalist agenda is furthered in the world; the last day of the season is on May 1st.

While there is a lot to be worried about, this can be interpreted as a prophetic omen that the Cabal will go down, and we the people will play our part in helping restore freedom and prosperity. The very fact we care about truth, goodness, and justice, and are willing to advance that cause as we are able, ensures that the forces of heaven will continue to reach down to inspire and uplift the realms of men.

Pray for peace, walk with bravery, and have the courage to respect what can’t be changed and work to change what should be.

Epic War of Words between Candace Owens & Cardi B Turns Ugly

And it sounds like lawyers will be getting involved.

Conservative commentator and political activist Candace Owens engaged in an intense Twitter battle with singer and pop icon Cardi B, culminating with Cardi B deleting multiple tweets and Owens promising legal action.

The online fisticuffs started when Owens opined on the quasi-pornographic shenanigans from Cardi B at the Grammy Awards last Sunday, tweeting the following, “You are a cancer cell to culture. Young black girls are having their minds poisoned by what you are trying to package and sell to them as ’empowerment.’” Owens’ comment was spot-on.

Cardi B’s responses were weak, so she then resorted to slander, accusing Owens’ husband of having a sexual relationship with her brother. Cardi B posted a long-debunked fake Tweet purporting to have been initiated by Owens, and Owens was having none of it. After Owens threatened a lawsuit, Cardi B deleted all tweets referencing the fake-news post. Could it be that the entertainer’s lawyers told her to take them down and shut the heck up?

This is just the latest skirmish in our ongoing culture war. For those of us on the right, we are blessed to have Candace Owens on our side. Intellectually, Cardi B is no match for Owens, but neither are most on the left. Owens is tenacious and sharp as hell, and the fact that she’s black disarms them of many of their typical talking points.

Here’s a small taste of what we could scavenge after the deletion.

It wasn’t the first time that Owens openly criticized Cardi B on Twitter.

Where’s the Hope?

There’s plenty of hope to be had so long as you know where to look. A prominent Washington D.C. Circuit Court Judge, Laurence Silberman, warned in his dissent in a case, that the media has become very close to one-party control (Democrat, go figure).

Judge Laurence Silberman is no ordinary judge.  According to Wikipedia:

Laurence Hirsch Silberman (born October 12, 1935) is an American lawyer, jurist, and government official who serves as a circuit judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. He was appointed in October 1985 by Ronald Reagan and took senior status on November 1, 2000. On June 11, 2008, George W. Bush awarded Silberman the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Judge Silberman released a dissent in a case where he took on Big Media’s bias. Silberman wrote in his dissent:

“Although the bias against the Republican Party—not just controversial individuals—is rather shocking today, this is not new; it is a long-term, secular trend going back at least to the ’70s,” Silberman wrote. “Two of the three most influential papers (at least historically), The New York Times and The Washington Post, are virtually Democratic Party broadsheets. And the news section of The Wall Street Journal leans in the same direction. The orientation of these three papers is followed by The Associated Press and most large papers across the country (such as the Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, and Boston Globe). Nearly all television—network and cable—is a Democratic Party trumpet. Even the government-supported National Public Radio follows along.”

Silberman then took on Big Tech:

He accused Silicon Valley of filtering news “in ways favorable to the Democratic Party” and fueling censorship, citing the suppression of the New York Post’s bombshell reporting on Hunter Biden in the final weeks of the 2020 presidential election.

“It is well-accepted that viewpoint discrimination ‘raises the specter that the Government may effectively drive certain ideas or viewpoints from the marketplace,’” Silberman said. “But ideological homogeneity in the media—or in the channels of information distribution—risks repressing certain ideas from the public consciousness just as surely as if access were restricted by the government.”

Finally, Silberman took on the current one-party control of the press and media:

“It should be borne in mind that the first step taken by any potential authoritarian or dictatorial regime is to gain control of communications, particularly the delivery of news. It is fair to conclude, therefore, that one-party control of the press and media is a threat to a viable democracy,” the judge continued. “It may even give rise to countervailing extremism.

“The First Amendment guarantees a free press to foster a vibrant trade in ideas. But a biased press can distort the marketplace. And when the media has proven its willingness—if not eagerness—to so distort, it is a profound mistake to stand by unjustified legal rules that serve only to enhance the press’ power.”

Hopefully, this political theater that has taken over the western world and its pop culture will soon be over, but it might be best to plan for the long haul just in case. The Communist Chinese must be very proud of the Democrats, they have so skillfully embraced and applied the CCP’s tactics on the people of the United States that nearly half the population is eating right up.

But as the months have worn on since the January 6th Capitol building attack, it has become abundantly clear that the second wave of attacks expected at the Biden Inauguration wouldn’t come afterward. There would be no imagined third attack. Or fourth attack. Or any attack beyond the staged events of the 6th.

Security theater. Mask theater. Everything in America has become a living drama. But in the nation’s Capitol, things might be starting to become a little less theatrical. At least for now. Despite the unverified reports of “chatter” from anomalous “extremists” across a landscape that contains over 300 million citizens, the National Guard is reducing troop levels. The news was reported on Saturday by the Washington Examiner.

“The camouflaged citizen-soldiers were conspicuously absent along large swaths of barbed wire-topped fences surrounding the Capitol on Friday,” the defense reporter Abraham Mahshie noted. “Absent an imminent threat, and with diminished congressional and public support, the National Guard’s numbers there have been cut in half.”

The National Guard’s D.C. presence peaked at 26,000 during the Biden inauguration. All 50 states, including the District of Columbia, and three U.S. territories participated at the cost of $483 million. The report estimated the total cost is expected to grow to over $520 million, which is ‘twice the annual Capitol Police budget in just three months’ time.’

“In an email to members and staff, Blodgett said that by Monday, Independence and Constitution avenues will be open for traffic. The inner layer of fencing will remain around the Capitol Square area while the Architect of the Capitol makes security repairs to the Capitol,” Roll Call said.

“There does not exist a known, credible threat against Congress or the Capitol Complex that warrants the temporary security fencing,” Blodgett said.

In hindsight, it should be obvious to all that the Democrats’ exercise in security theater is a very costly one and it only prevented an imagined threat. The Democrats’ defense of such wasteful spending and abuse of military resources is a familiar one: Since nothing happened, you can’t disprove that it worked.

If that is the kind of thinking that will propel U.S. policy, however, American citizens can expect a never-ending series of displays and productions that are put on for no other reason than it promotes the Democrats’ political agenda.

And on a final note, we have news regarding the long-rumored Trump social media website. Jason Miller, a spokesman for 45th President Donald Trump, confirmed this past Sunday that the former President is working on his own social media site, likely to be called “Trumper,” which is set to launch in the summer of 2021.

 “President Trump will be ‘returning to social media in two or three months’ with ‘his own platform’ that will ‘completely redefine the game’ and ‘attract tens of millions’ of new users.”

.@JasonMillerinDC said President Trump will be "returning to social media in two or three months" with "his own platform" that will "completely redefine the game" and attract "tens of millions" of new users. #MediaBuzz

The move comes as no surprise to many, as Gab CEO Andrew Torba previously revealed that the former President was blocked from joining Gab and Parler by his aides Jared Kushner, Brad Parscale, and Dan Scavino, who wanted an ownership stake in the respective companies, did not believe they had the technology to accommodate the former U.S. President, and wanted them to curtail their lenient free speech policies.

As per National File:

Kushner and Scavino reportedly opposed a move to Gab or Parler because “they didn’t think they were well managed or could handle the traffic,” a profoundly ironic observation considering the widespread agreement from White House sources that Kushner and Scavino repeatedly bungled the President’s 2020 reelection campaign.

“We can confirm this reporting. If you want the President on Gab, bring it up with Jared Kushner,” the tweet read. “We are ready to give the President his voice back when he is. Jared is a mess. Sad!”

President Trump was banned from virtually every big tech website as well as several banks after the mostly peaceful Capitol Hill protests on Janaury 6. His return to the public conversation has been long-awaited by the faithful and those who wish to have true objectivity. This comes at a time when the New York Times has declared a war on the free speech platform Telegram.
