Tea at Trianon: The DC Swamp is Even More Corrupt Than You Can Imagine

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

The DC Swamp is Even More Corrupt Than You Can Imagine

From Tierney's Real News:

KARI LAKE: "Democrats will cheat and do whatever they have to do to win elections but it was the Republicans who took this election from me.

Republicans run Maricopa County elections. They could not let a citizen politician come in and clean out their corrupt system - our biggest enemy right now are the Republicans on the inside working against us.

They saw how popular Trump & his candidates are and they want Trump to go away. That's what COVID was all about. That's what ALL this stuff is about.

I believe there was so much corruption in our elections across the country.

The future of America is We The People - and the sooner the GOP establishment realize that we are the future and that they should come with us - the better. We need to encourage them to do that. Let's face it - half of the establishment GOP just might be Democrats.” (Read more.)
