After the new Congress convenes, the
Republicans should announce that they will not vote to raise the debt ceiling
until the president and the vice president resign.
What do we do when (it really is no longer a question of “if”) it
is proven satisfactorily to most people that the 2020 election was
manipulated—perhaps outright stolen—by government forces (and their allies in
the media) with the result that the “wrong” person won?
Elon Musk’s Twitter has released information showing that
government personnel, at the FBI and perhaps other agencies, leaned on that
social media platform to suppress information about the Hunter Biden laptop,
which indicated scandalous behavior—and very possibly criminal—on the part of
the Biden family.
And according to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, the FBI leaned on
him as well to suppress information about the laptop. It will now surprise no
one if we discover that the FBI leaned on many other media outlets as well.
It is fair to conclude, therefore, that the wrong person was
elected president in 2020. What does “wrong” person mean?
A poll was taken after the election asking people whom they would
have voted for if they had known about the Hunter Biden laptop. Enough
Democrats and independents said they would have voted for Trump to have changed
the outcome of the election. That means public knowledge and sentiment were
“manipulated” by government personnel, so one candidate (preferred by them)
would win over the other.
But what can be done now? Donald Trump seems to want a
new election. That is not going to happen. But neither should nothing be done.
Joe Biden is an illegitimate president. Do we have any mechanism for dealing
with this problem?
Actually, we have. The Constitution provides some relief. One method, of course, is impeachment. But that wouldn’t work in this case: the House of Representatives, under Republican control, might vote for impeachment. But because a majority of the U.S. Senate belongs to the Democrats, the president wouldn’t be convicted. What to do?
There is another possible solution. It would require
bravery—almost always in short supply. But maybe not this time. This is a time
for reckoning. This is a time for choosing. Another time for choosing.
Here’s how the problem could be solved.
Because the U.S. government doesn’t live within its means (it
spends far more than it collects in taxes), it has to borrow money. Congress
has to authorize how much money the government can borrow. The maximum amount
the government can borrow, legislated by Congress, is called the “debt
ceiling.”
At some point this year, the government will reach that maximum
amount. Failure to raise that amount would lead (at least in theory) to the
government defaulting on its obligations.
What would happen then? No one knows. It could create chaos in the
United States and the global economy. Nevertheless, that situation presents an
opportunity to the Republicans to rectify the theft of the presidential
election in 2020.
After the new Congress convenes this week, the Republicans should
announce that they will not vote to raise the debt ceiling until the president
and the vice president resign. If that were to happen, under the Constitution,
the speaker of the House of Representatives would become president. He will be
a Republican, as would have been the person (Trump) who would have been elected
in 2020 absent the cover-up of the Hunter Biden laptop story by a willing media
encouraged by the FBI.
Would it be possible to persuade Republicans to refuse to raise
the debt ceiling? Who knows? Wouldn’t it be worth finding out?
There will always be squishy Republicans, of course, like Adam
Kinzinger (R–Ill.) and Liz Cheney (R–Wyo.), neither of whom—mercifully!—will be
serving in the new Congress.
But there might be enough Republicans in the House of
Representatives (the “People’s House”) who care enough about the scam
perpetrated on the American people to do something about it.
Alternatively, for the more squeamish, the decision not to raise
the debt ceiling unless the president and vice president resign could be
justified by their failure to enforce the immigration laws—and not just to
refuse to enforce them, but, via the freakish White House Press Secretary
Karine Jean-Pierre, to blame Republicans for creating the problem by talking
about it! And if that dereliction of duty isn’t sufficient justification, the
quantity of fentanyl that that dereliction has allowed to come across the
southern border—enough to kill every American who voted for Joe Biden twice
over, and a lot more besides—should be.
But, the skeptics will say, if Congress refuses to raise the debt
ceiling, won’t the country collapse?
First, the country has already collapsed if the secret police (i.e., the FBI) are allowed to get away with fixing an election.
Second, how do we know the country will “collapse”? And what does
“collapse” even mean? If the United States has never defaulted on its debts
before, how can we be sure what the consequences will be? Most creditors of the
U.S. would probably understand what’s going on, and they are likely to be . .
. patient, especially given the alternative to being patient.
The Republican House should explain to the people how serious it
is that the election was “stolen” by the secret police—that the formerly
republican United States is now in a state of collapse—and urge them to call
their local newspapers and radio stations from morning till night and chastise
them for hiding the truth from the American people.
The United States needs to do something to redeem
itself. It shouldn’t just putter on as if nothing happened. The perpetrators
may not confess, but punishment and restitution are still called for.
A Republican House of Representatives (ah, but who do
they represent?) has the opportunity to set things right. But do they have the
courage?
We’ll find out.
