Brian Cates - Political Columnist

  One of the biggest facts that a lot of news media coverage of the election rigging story has missed is this: Despite all the money and resources that this powerful, shadowy cabal poured for more than a year into their election ‘safety’ project to try to ‘fortify’ the 2020 Presidential election to ensure the 'right' outcome, Donald J. Trump was still cruising to victory by a comfortable margin early on election night. As I said in another recent column, Donald Trump literally forced the cabal out into the daylight. They were forced to come out into the open with the entire country watching and manufacture a ‘win’ for Joe Biden after-the-fact. "I'm the most popular President ever with an overwhelming mandate! 81 million people voted for me! Biden whined desperately as Trump slyly waited The whole country saw it. That is how they plan to run elections from now on. It's never over on Election Day.  It's never over until they come up with enough votes to steal

Thanks to the generosity of my supporters, I will be able to attend this year's CPAC in Orlando, FL after all.  I had cancelled any ideas of making the trip awhile back because I simply couldn't afford to both fly and get a hotel room for the required number of days. Was going to drive in my new 2017 Camry, but due to recent expenses I realized I wouldn't have enough for the hotel room even if I made the 20 hour drive.  I had also been told that  not only would former President Donald Trump not be speaking at CPAC this year, the Schlapp's were actually looking to cut ties with him and go full blown GOP establishment. That sounded...funny to me, but this was what several people I trust were saying.  So I cancelled a hotel room I had book in Orlando 2 months ago.  But when I saw a post about Trump officially being confirmed as speaking at CPAC on the Quod Verum forum, I made a reply about how I'd hoped to go, but it just didn't work out financially for me right no

 It's expected the political show trial underway in the US Senate will be wrapping up today, but we'll see. After the House impeachment lunatics spent all day Thursday screeching the same accusations over and over so we had to wait until Friday for the Trump legal team to begin it's defense, I'm expecting fireworks during the closing statements from both sides, then the inevitable grandstanding speeches by Senate members before the vote is taken. So this may very well drag on past today.   Despite a lot of media reports to the contrary, I think Trump's defense team has been doing an excellent job, given that they have limited themselves to addressing the actual claims made in the impeachment article, and have stayed away from presenting any evidence of a stolen election. I don't think the Trump legal team used all of their allotted 8 hours, while the House managers went over their time on Thursday. Some have commented that they thought Trump shouldn't have b

I just finished researching a new column about the Time Magazine article in which the existence of a powerful cabal of elites rigging the 2020 election to 'save' it from Donald Trump was confirmed.  One thing really stood out from reading all these news media articles about the Time Magazine scoop, articles from across the political spectrum.  Nobody points out one thing:  Despite spending more than a year carefully rigging everything they could think of to ensure Biden won, the cabal was watching in abject horror on election night as Trump was cruising to a comfortable victory ANYWAY.  This forced the cabal to take actions they really didn't think they'd have to take. We all know what happened next. The vote counting stopped in multiple states, and then over the next several days they worked furiously to manufacture a Biden victory after-the-fact.   The **real** story is that these political elites were caught flat footed on election night when all their fun election-r

 Today lead impeachment manager Jamie Raskin made public a letter he had written to former President Donald J. Trump, in which he "requested" that Trump come testify in person under oath to the Senate during the upcoming impeachment trial.  Raskin wants to ask Trump under oath about the "numerous lies" he told during his Jan. 6 speech at the Ellipse, where Trump spoke at length and in great detail about the federal election fraud that stole the election from him and handed it to Joe Biden.  This was the dumbest thing Democrats could have done. Everybody already knew this 2nd impeachment trial was a farce, and most people weren't going to be paying much, if any, attention to it, beyond people like me, who make their living following the political scene.  The **Democrats** opened to door to making next week's Senate trial riveting TV at the mere **hint** Trump might show up to testify.  The Senate trial goes from a boring sham event to something that will like

 🚨NEW COLUMN ALERT!!! 🚨 My new column has just gone up at The Epoch Times! :) "An Unconstitutional Farce of a Senate Show Trial"

  Both the Durham Special Counsel's Office and the FBI's investigation of Hunter Biden & his business associates [which includes his father, however much he may deny it] are still ongoing. While Trump never made a single move to end or interfere with Mueller, I have no doubt whatsoever Biden is not that smart. Despite many political pundits yelling for Trump to fire Mueller for almost two full years, Trump was smart enough to know what would happen if he fired Mueller or got caught interfering in a federal investigation. Biden will quickly make moves to interfere with both Durham and the FBI, and when he does, he'll bungle it and his fingerprints will be all over it. Biden's team is so incompetent, I fully expect this to happen.

  Just a quick heads up folks!  I wrote and submitted a new column to The Epoch Times today.  It's entitled:  "An Unconstitutional Farce of a Senate Show Trial".  The title kind of succinctly sums up my opinion of this coming Senate trial.  The whole thing is going to be a flaming train wreck on stilts.  Nobody really believes Trump incited an insurrection on Jan. 6. This is all bullshit political theater, and most of the Senate GOP members are going to treat it as such.  Hopefully this new column will go up by Friday. I'll post the link here when it does!  I'd like to also take a moment and talk about the great staff at Epoch.  I've been writing for them for over two years now, and in that time Jasper Fakkert, Kat Piper and Adam Ainsworth and the rest of the editors there have been fantastic to me and I look forward to writing for the site for many years to come.  Brian  

  Welcome to my new Blog!  I was up to almost 275,000 followers when Twitter banned my main account.  No problem!  I moved to Parler...for about a week, when it was de-platformed. A lot of my followers on Twitter want to know where to find me.  I've tried out several other social media sites and have concluded that...it's time to go back to having a personal blog. Telegram and some other apps show great promise, but I want one place where I can post every day where people can find me, so I'll be advertising this blog.  Uncover DC column archive:  https://uncoverdc.com/author/briancates/ Epoch Times column archive:  Telegram Channel is:   https://t.me/drawandstrikechannel I'm on the Quod Verum forum as @drawandstrike:  https://social.quodverum.com/@drawandstrike/with_replies Youtube channel is:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvA3fyocc0cz_CXzdziaVqQ Clouthub page is:   https://app.clouthub.com/private/e5401cb9-566d-4d1c-ab3d-8278efaf8670 You can support my independent
