June 24, 2020 - The Lincoln Project’ s latest video, “Leadership,” released today, illustrates how a true President leads in a time of crisis and juxtaposes it with the sorry excuse for honorable leadership under Donald J. Trump the past four years. The spot begins airing today in the critical swing states of Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. “Joe Biden is a strong, caring leader who can guide us out of the hell Americans find ourselves in,” said John Weaver, co-founder of The Lincoln Project. “It’s imperative Joe Biden wins this November.” Reed Galen, a co-founder of The Lincoln Project, said, “Joe Biden is the clear choice when it comes to compassionate and decent leadership. In a battle of heart, mind, and character Joe Biden wins by a landslide. We need to ensure that’s reflected in the vote this November.” No American should live in fear due to a lack of honest leadership. Thankfully, Joe Biden will be elected on November 3rd and with that the healing of our co...

As the Dotard Administration continues to lie and downplay the severity of the now skyrocketing Covid-19 cases the stark reality and TRUTH is found below. Ignore the Trumpian bullsh*t emanating from the White House and immerse yourself in grasping and understanding the science and the truth about pandemics and how they spread exponentially. It may very well save your life of the life of loved ones. The coronavirus pandemic is getting dramatically worse in almost every corner of the U.S. The big picture:  The U.S. today is getting closer to the worst-case scenario envisioned in the spring — a nationwide crisis, made worse by a vacuum of political leadership, threatening to overwhelm hospitals and spread out of control. Nationwide, cases are up 30% compared to the beginning of this month, and dramatically worsening outbreaks in several states are beginning to strain hospital capacity — the same concern that prompted the nationwide lockdown in the first place. This is th...

A federal prosecutor is expected to tell House lawmakers Wednesday that the senior-most Justice Department officials pressured government lawyers in Roger Stone’s criminal trial to treat him “differently and more leniently” during his trial, “based on political considerations” and “because of his relationship with the President.” Aaron Zelinsky, an assistant U.S. attorney in Maryland who previously served on former special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s team, is one of two current Justice Department employees expected to tell the House Judiciary Committee that Attorney General William P. Barr ordered agency officials to pursue politically motivated investigations and court motions, in deference to President Trump and his own preferred policies. According to a copy of his  prepared remarks , Zelinsky plans to testify that prosecutors experienced “heavy pressure from the highest levels of the Department of Justice to cut Stone a break,” and request a lighter sentence he c...

By George T. Conway III, Steve Schmidt, John Weaver and Rick Wilson. The authors have worked for or supported numerous Republican campaigns and administrations. This article was  originally published in The New York Times . Patriotism and the survival of our nation in the face of the crimes, corruption and corrosive nature of Donald Trump are a higher calling than mere politics. As Americans, we must stem the damage he and his followers are doing to the rule of law, the Constitution and the American character. That’s why we are announcing the Lincoln Project, an effort to highlight our country’s story and values, and its people’s sacrifices and obligations. This effort transcends partisanship and is dedicated to nothing less than preservation of the principles that so many have fought for, on battlefields far from home and within their own communities. This effort asks all Americans of all places, creeds and ways of life to join in the seminal task of our generation: resto...

The shocking TRUTH in Trump's own words.

Another spot on ad spot from The Lincoln Project . America needs fewer anti science and anti fact trumpers who couldn't care less about their fellow Americans and more who put their faith and trust in science and facts.  Skip the rally and protect others as well as yourself. “Trump’s decisi on to hold a rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma on the weekend of Juneteenth and in the location of the worst race massacre in American history tells voters all they need to know about him. In a time of multiple crises, Donald Trump has further divided and incited Americans rather than bring us together,” said Stuart Stevens, senior advisor to The Lincoln Project. “It’s a shame that this president has decided, once again, that stroking his own ego is more important than serving the nation.” “Trump is the largest superspreader of division and hatred we’ve seen in generations,” said John Weaver, co-founder of The Lincoln Project.

Conservative Candace Owens Promotes White Supremacy For Fun And Profit Perverse Pundit: Controversial conservative Candace Owens gets paid to say what white supremacists want to hear. The fact that the racist propaganda is coming out of the mouth of a pretty black woman only makes it sweeter for her twisted supporters. Currently Owens is making  headlines  after smearing George Floyd, the black man who was recently murdered by police in Minnesota, sparking days of international protest against police brutality under the flag of Black Lives Matter. Speaking about Floyd on a widely shared viral video, Owens smears the dead man, while berating the entire black community for catering to “the bottom denominator of our society.”   In her video, Owens describes Floyd as “a horrible human being,” while  declaring : We cater to the bottom denominator of our society. We are the only community that will get outraged and up and organized and picket and ...

Spot On and To the Truthful Point!!

New from The Lincoln Project - June 9, 2020- Contrary to all evidence, since his inauguration, President Donald J. Trump has been lying about the size of the crowds that he says have come out to cheer him on. Finally, this week, in cities across America, from coast to coast, and small towns in between, crowds even larger than he ever imagined possible have gathered — not to cheer Trump on — but in solidarity with one message: It’s time for him to go. Donald Trump, the American people are speaking directly to you with a simple message: It’s time to start packing your bags Indeed Donald J. Trump has told thousands of documented lies since assuming office. He is, a pathological liar as well as a sociopath. His lack of leadership, corruption, divisiveness, and non existent emotional intelligence is appalling as well as dangerous. Trump, in 3 1/2 years has shown America in real time what a corrupt, inept, and egregiously incompetent man looks like. The crowds now filling the stree...

June 6, 2020- The Lincoln Project has grave concerns about the Trump Administration’s response to the Americans who today choose to exercise their First Amendment rights to peacefully assemble and to petition our government in our nation’s capital. These laws are the foundation of our Republic. And even while serving as the president of a divided nation, Abraham Lincoln held these principles above all others. This makes Lincoln’s concerns so long ago relevant again today:“Before entering upon so grave a matter as the destruction of our national fabric…with all its benefits, its memories, and its hopes… would it not be wise to ascertain precisely why we do it?” It is almost as if he were speaking from his grave to question our elected leaders today: “Will you risk the commission of so fearful a mistake ?” November 2020 is perhaps the most important election in a generation. Will we continue to accept the horrors perpetrated upon America by Donald J. Trump or will America lis...

Leadership is so much more than just having the authority to order (demand) change. It is more about these four important characteristics. 1) Vision 2) Motivating people to accept and achieve your vision. 3) Accepting responsibility for the outcome of your decisions. Good or bad. 4) Adjusting and changing course after asking for and receiving HONEST input from key people when you make a mistake. Donald J. Trump has failed miserably on ALL four parameters of leadership. Why? Simply because he is not a leader. The Lincoln Project  points out specifically how Trump has failed miserably in acc3epting responsibility. June 6, 2020 - The Lincoln Project today released an ad exploring how in the hours before Allied troops prepared to storm the shores of Normandy in France, General Dwight Eisenhower took a moment to put words to paper just in case their mission failed. As Supreme Allied Commander, Eisenhower understood that if D-Day landings failed, the responsibility would be on ...

The following is the work of The Lincoln Project. A group of patriotic republicans working inform and further bring to light the authoritarian dictatorial character of Donald J. Trump. The material is presented exactly as The Lincoln Project published it. June 1, 2020 The Lincoln Project recognizes the long and distinguished national service of General Milley and honors him for it. Likewise, the Lincoln Project appreciates the service of Secretary of Defense Esper. Nevertheless, their participation in the infamous events of June 1st was an egregious lapse in judgement, and they should resign their offices. On that day, in front of the White House, the People’s House, Americans exercising their first amendment rights to speech and assembly were assaulted, tear-gassed, pepper-sprayed and beaten on the direct orders of the Attorney General of the United States. The purpose of this assault was not done in the name of public safety, but to clear a path for President Donald Trump t...

As the USA and the World watches an emotionally disturbed and dangerous man violate the constitutional rights of his own people. Pathetic Indeed!~

June 1, 2020 - The Lincoln Project’s latest ad, Treason, released today, laments American citizens who fly the confederate flag as a veil of “patriotism” when it is nothing more than a symbol of a treasonous, and failed uprising against the United States. Reed Galen, co-founder of The Lincoln Project said, “The Confederate flag is a symbol of slavery and disunion. Its history is one of sowing division and oppression. Those who fly it proudly are celebrating the legacy of American slavery, the wrongful, and violent insurrection that followed, and the oppressive Jim Crow regime that came into power in many states.” “No patriotic American should brandish or proudly celebrate the iconography of a rebellion that resulted in tremendous devastation, the loss of more than 620,000 American lives, and the continued subjugation of Black America,” Galen continued. “Our namesake, Abraham Lincoln fought to preserve the Union. The Lincoln Project will do the same during the course of this campai...

It is probably safe to assume a majority of people who use the internet are tired and perhaps sick of the level of vitriol and down right unmitigated nastiness we see on a daily basis over politics and government. We all likely have our own perceptions as to which ideology is most guilty and which is the most egregiously so. We leave that judgement to each individual to decide for themselves. As the great state of Massachusetts, led by a competent, capable, effective, thoughtful, respected and admired republican governor and his team of mostly democrats (yes national republican office holders and their constituency it is possible) work through the graduated reopening process which begins May 18, 2020 this writer's thoughts have turned to considering the libertarianism/conservativism/liberalism/progressivism dynamics. For this we offer the following definitions of terms. Libertarianism -  Libertarianism is a political philosophy that focuses on the rights of individ...
