(As I indicate in the title of this piece - we have reached a definitive time and perhaps a definitive moment in the history of the United States. Read this piece - comprehend what is written - and then do your part wherever you are at this moment, even if it's small. We need to be the the bastions of strength that our society needs desperately.
Do not act in haste. We need to consider every thought and action - and most of all - understand our options realistically. Quiet, intelligent resolve is our best path, based on knowledge, proper deliberation and rule of law.
God help us and we certainly need His protection and guidance to sort out the mess we have made over the last 100+ years! - CL)
The God-Emperor strikes back
It's good to see that the Trump
administration isn't backing down one iota to the various
challenges being presented to them:
You're
either with the Trump administration or you're against it.
After Uber CEO Travis Kalanick's call with President Donald Trump on Thursday and decision to quit his business-advisory council, the sentiment within the White House, according to Mike Allen of Axios, is, "If you want to cut off your access to the White House, f--- you."
That quote came to Allen from "some in Trump's inner circle," he reported. (Allen is deeply sourced within the Trump administration.)
Kalanick told Uber staff in a memo Thursday that he wouldn't attend Trump's closed-door council meeting on Friday and had quit the council after pressure from employees, drivers, and the public.

Like Gideon, the God-Emperor needs only those who are ready and willing
to fight. And my prediction is that he's going to come back with a stronger,
more comprehensive immigration ban, combined with large-scale repatriations, regardless of how
quickly the federal judge's ridiculous order overturning his executive order is
overturned... or ignored.
When
President Trump ordered a vast overhaul of immigration law enforcement during
his first week in office, he stripped away most restrictions on who should be
deported, opening the door for roundups and detentions on a scale not seen in
nearly a decade.
Some 6 million to 8 million people in the country illegally could be considered priorities for deportation, according to calculations by the Los Angeles Times. They were based on interviews with experts who studied the order and two internal documents that signal immigration officials are taking an expansive view of Trump’s directive.
Far from targeting only “bad hombres,” as Trump has said repeatedly, his new order allows immigration agents to detain nearly anyone they come in contact with who has crossed the border illegally. People could be booked into custody for using food stamps or if their child receives free school lunches.
The deportation targets are a much larger group than those swept up in the travel bans that sowed chaos at airports and seized public attention over the past week. Fewer than 1 million people came to the U.S. over the past decade from the seven countries from which most visitors are temporarily blocked.

Eight million isn't a bad start. It's a solid first step towards the
full 80 million required to restore the promised pre-1965 demographic balance.
It doesn't matter if you were born American in Portugal or Somalia or Russia.
It doesn't matter if you have the government paperwork. You're still not
American. You will never be American. Not even the adulterated American
2.0. And you have to go back.
I realize that the prospect of returning to one's ancestral homeland is not necessarily nice for everyone. Most people rather like living in a wealthy white country their parents did not, and could not, build, that they and their children cannot even maintain. And yes, hundreds of thousands of very good people will, through no fault of their own, see disruption in their lives and a decline in their living standards. And yet, I don't care, not even a little bit, because the alternative is war. The alternative is the collapse of the political entity called the United States of America into multiple ethnostates and violence on a scale that has not been seen on the continent since the American Indian was very nearly genocided and assimilated into nonexistence.
The fact that the white settlers didn't intend it didn't mean it didn't happen, any more than the fact that the architects of the 1965 Hart-Celler Act didn't intend for 85 million first- and second-generation immigrants to colonize the USA means that they didn't do so. Intentions are irrelevant. Consequences are not derived from intentions, but from actions.
Having the former global superpower collapse into Yugoslavia with nukes is a nightmare scenario for everyone on the planet, even for the Chinese, the Iranians, and the Russians, who would be inclined to welcome the removal of the US military's leash on their ambitions and strategic objectives. That is the alternative the propositionals and melting potheads and dual citizens and immigrants have chosen. They prefer political collapse and mass death to giving up their self-serving 20th-century historical myths.
I understand most people can't imagine that this is even possible, let alone the most probable outcome. Do you think the Emperor Valens ever imagined for one second that providing refuge to eight hundred thousand desperate Visigoths would lead directly to his death, the destruction of his army, the siege of Constantinople, and the Sack of Rome? Did anyone who read my column in 2002 believe that a collapse of housing prices would lead to a financial crisis six years later?
Now, I will be very surprised if the Trump administration is successful in even halfway restoring the historical demographic balance, but then, both Trump and Bannon appear to have some understanding of what is actually at stake here. No one expected Ronald Reagan to win the Cold War either, so perhaps the God-Emperor has what it takes to win the Blood War.
UPDATE: the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals refused to reinstate the executive order. They must really want him to institute martial law. Of course, that would make a lot of things easier.
A federal appeals court early Sunday denied an initial bid by the Trump administration to restore its controversial immigration order that had barred refugees and people from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States.

A judge
in a lower federal court had put a temporary stop to the travel ban. Because
the appeals court declined to intervene immediately, affected travelers can
enter until at least until Monday. The appeals court set a schedule asking
challengers to the ban to file a response by roughly 3 a.m. Eastern on Monday,
and the Justice Department — representing the Trump administration — to reply
to that by 6 p.m. A Justice Department spokesman said government lawyers would
wait until then to make their next move. “With the fast briefing schedule the
appeals court laid out, we do not plan to ask the Supreme Court for an
immediate stay but instead let the appeals process play out,” Peter Carr said.
