Tea at Trianon: Newt Gingrich Discusses Georgia and the Communist Chinese

John Wilson Croker on Marie-Antoinette

"We have followed the history of Marie Antoinette with the greatest diligence and scrupulosity. We have lived in those times. We have talked with some of her friends and some of her enemies; we have read, certainly not all, but hundreds of the libels written against her; and we have, in short, examined her life with– if we may be allowed to say so of ourselves– something of the accuracy of contemporaries, the diligence of inquirers, and the impartiality of historians, all combined; and we feel it our duty to declare, in as a solemn a manner as literature admits of, our well-matured opinion that every reproach against the morals of the queen was a gross calumny– that she was, as we have said, one of the purest of human beings."

~from History of the Guillotine by John Wilson Croker, 1844

Edmund Burke on Marie-Antoinette

"It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then dauphiness, at Versailles; and surely there never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she had just begun to move in, glittering like a morning star full of life and splendor and joy. Oh, what a revolution....Little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fall upon her, in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor and of cavaliers! I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards, to avenge even a look which threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded...."

~Edmund Burke, October 1790

Newt Gingrich Discusses Georgia and the Communist Chinese

From The Epoch Times:

Mr. Gingrich: Well, I think that the reality is that—and I still say this all the time—if you’re a conservative, you have to vote. Because our job is to … we need to win by a bigger margin than the left can steal. So we need to get every single conservative out.

Because these two run-offs are probably the most important run-offs in American history. They have the potential to change the whole direction of the country. Because if we win, Biden would have to be much more moderate. And if they can elect Ossoff and Warnock, Biden will have a signal, he will be very radical. So I think this is a huge decision point for the country.

The challenge in Georgia … I personally have no doubt that Trump won more votes than Biden did. And that the difference basically was theft. They just had a report yesterday, for example, that there were drop boxes that were supposed to be taken directly to the election center, one of which was gone for like 17 hours. And then most of them did not come anywhere close to going straight to the center.

As you pointed out, you have this video that’s amazing, that’s a security camera that shows them telling everybody to go home. And then the four people who are left, after everybody else has left, they start pulling out suitcases of ballots.

And it’s amazing the percentage that Biden got that night, between 10pm and about 2am in the morning. And I’ve not seen any persuasive argument … in fact, Molly Hemingway wrote a devastating piece in the Federalist, where she very clearly says all the defenses of this are crazy, that the fact is, these people were engaged in illegal activities.

So I think there’s good reason for people to be concerned. I think we need an honest election movement to really tighten up on things. The very idea that we use voting machines which send data through Barcelona to Frankfurt is crazy. In an age when we know how sophisticated hacking is, I wouldn’t trust any of these machines anymore.
