Although the guillotine is best known as the tool of choice in the French Revolution to destroy opponents, its history goes back to the 13th century.

Nevertheless, it was invented by the Gallic people.

While the guillotine has largely fallen out of favor in the more civilized torture age — like a four-part series on Nancy Grace — there remains a certain popularity with people who would like good old days when heads are going for fairly minor crimes.

It could make a comeback in Puerto Rico — and while it will almost certainly not take anyone’s life it will send a message to the political establishment of the island.

The move follows another week of instability in the United States, the time over Hurricane Maria.

TRENDING: Poop-Covered Streets Costs San Francisco $192 thousand Hurricane Maria, you might say, was over 2 years ago. Yeah, exactly. Exactly.

And, as recent video showed, the supplies of disaster relief given to the island from the storm have not been distributed among the people.

The problems for territorial government began last Saturday when the social media user calling himself “El León Fiscalizador” managed to reach a warehouse in the south town of Ponce and find massive amounts of supplies of Hurricane Maria-era that had not been distribuated to the people of the island even though the hurricane had taken place over two years ago.

The video caused massive uproar and a host of officials were sacked not long before.

Would you think the Puerto Rican government needs to be replaced?

However, for many Puerto Ricans, it was not enough because they wanted another governor to resign — Gov. Wanda Vázquez, who succeeded Ricardo Rossello last year after a text message controversy forced him off.

According to the CBS News, Fernando Gil Enseñat, the dismissed Housing Secretary, accused the governor of discovering the Ponce Warehouse of materials not delivered.

“Gil Enseñat said that his department had nothing to do with the supplies found in Ponce in local news outlets. He clarified that his department was responsible for monitoring emergency supply warehouse operations in the cities of Cabo Rojo and Río Piedras rather than Ponce, adding that the Governor had revised inventory details for both warehouses, “NBC News reports.

For her part, Vázquez, her former housing secretary, said “Don’t have my trust under various circumstances,” but the fact that he was more than willing to go to the media to argue that Vázquez knew the location of emergency supplies well remains unknown as early as Saturday morning.

“The emergency storage facilities located in Ponce and other towns are included in the Emergency Management Plan of Puerto Rico,” reports NBC News.

“The plan was signed in August 2019 by Vázquez to suggest that they already knew the existence of warehouses before outraged residents entered the warehouse of Ponce last week.” That’s a problem and the Puerto Ricans took to the streets to express their fury about the entire scandal.

On Thursday, a crowd of manifestants gathered a blunt guillotine and (warning) they didn’t go to the residence of Enseñat: Um, the Puerto Ricans now bring a guillotine to the Mansion.

But it looks a bit too wobbly and inconsistent to do any real damage.

It is like tightening some stretched wires to an ottoman of IKEA and calling them an electric chair.

That said, there is something good about these pictures in Boston in 1775. As if to say, I mean in a good way. I mean that.

The people of Puerto Rica are quick to learn that they can not trust a territorial government that does not respond if it is not totally ruthless.

As Hurricane Maria struck, they feuded with Washington for the slow response and the inadequate supply of emergency supplies.

At that point, there was general consensus that the administration of Trump was somehow responsible. I’m not faulting Puerto Ricans to do it.

You should not buy it now, not when you see these emergency supplies in a warehouse from two years before rotting away. The people of the island deserve better.

We don’t have to have a guillotine to get it, but they have to keep their elected officials accountable— and that isn’t just a few memories.

President Trump has criticized President Barack Obama at Sunday’s interview with Maria Bartiromo for illegally spying on his campaign.

This weekend, Bartiromo aired the interview on Sunday morning Futures.

President Trump wondered during the meeting why the victims of the espionage operation are not in jail.

Watch: Transcript: Maria Bartiromo: Attorney Barr’s officers are not included in the Horowitz report. He looks at Brenann. He looks at Brenann. He’s staring at the officers of other Obama. How far are you feeling it’s gone?

President Donald Trump: I think it’s gone up to the top. And I guess they spied on my victory, what they did. What they did was so illegal that there was never anything like it in history. Before I was elected, they tried to defeat me. And then the policy of insurance started. Will you remember the famous policy of insurance? We’re going to get him here if he plays. And that happened. And that happened. There was never such a thing. If this was reversed and it was Trump, President Obama did. Women would be in jail for 50 years today.

Rep. Zoe Lofgren admitted Sunday that the joke of the impeachment is all about the 2020 elections.

Rep. Lofgren was asked in a Sunday interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper why the Democrats hurried to a lawsuit rather than defending against subpoenas.

Thegatewaypundit.com reports: Deputy Counsel Patrick Philbin of Trump said on Saturday that the House Committee on the Judiciary will seek the House’s approval before the action is taken.

When Pelosi ordered various committees to launch the hearings with a press-conference instead of a full-scale House vote, Philbin argued that the subpoenas sent to Trump officials were unconstitutional.

The Democrats have never even gone to the courts to enforce summonses, but instead made a phony crime called “Congress Obstruction” and began their shampement hearings.

The reason is that they want to stop Trump’s reelection campaign in 2020 or stop him from voting and that Lofgren openly admitted on Sunday.

“The election would be over if we waited three or four years and the problem was be null,” rep. Lofgren said.

WATCH: The tyrannical democrats want the Electoral College to be scrapped and the elections finally get rid of, and they don’t even hide it.

Adam Schiff lectured America on Wednesday and said that your vote didn’t count because you can not trust the ballot box.

If you choose Trump, your vote doesn’t count.

“The corruption of the President can’t be solved at the polling station because we can’t be sure that the votes will be won fairly,” Schiff said.

President Trump made history Friday when he became the first U.S. president to address the annual March for Life gathering, where he proclaimed he to be the greatest advocate ever to sit in the White House for unborn children.

“In the White House, unborn children never had a better advocate,” President Trump told hundreds of thousands of pro-lifers.

POTUS said he was “proud to stand with you,” “to safeguard each child born or unborn to fulfill its god-given potential.” Reports from Lifesitenews.com: “Today, we all recognize an eternal truth: every child of God is a precious sacred gift,” Trump said. “The sanctity and dignity of human life must be valued and protected together. Trump addressed his decisions during his first mandate and said that’ unborn children never had a better supporter at the White House. He said that the pro-life movement was strongly influenced by the Left’s war on religious freedom, but he vowed that his government would continue to defend faith “The far left works towards eradicating our rights given by God,” he said. “They’re going for me, because I’m fighting for you.” “We’re the voice of voiceless people together,” he added. The “democrats have taken on the most progressive and conservative policies that have been seen in decades” in this regard noting the support of Congressional Democrats for late abortion and the opposition to the medical care provision for newborns surviving abortions.

“Today your dedication uplifts our whole nation for all the women here, and we thank you for that,” said the president. “We welcome you today to all the moms here and announce that mothers are heroes. All people are worthy of protect because we realize and human soul is divine and every human life born and unborn is created in the holy image of the Almighty God. “He added that” the pro-lifers are only making it their life’s mission to help spread the grace of God, “through their actions for aiding pregnant women and helping children” find their eternal homes.” “We don’t know what our citizens have yet. “We know this, however: every life brings love into this world, and every child brings family happiness. See some responses on the ground to President Trump’s landmark address at the March for Life:

A pro-life leader called President Donald Trump “the most actively active pro-life president of the country in history,” speaking on Friday’s annual March for Life by Jeff Hunt, the director of the Institute for Colorado Christian University, as the pro-life advocates.

TRENDING: Poop-Covered Streets Cost San Francisco $192 thousand After Tech Giant Moves Event Hunt on Thursday spoke about Trump in Sirius XM’s “Breitbart News Tonight” commentary. “This is a historic moment, actually,” Hunt said. “Donald Trump is the most successful pro-life president in this country’s history from a strictly political viewpoint. He has done an excellent job in criticizing the abortion industry and their profitable activities in making money from death. “Hunt zeroed on Trump’s success in recommending conservative judges to expand the federal judiciary.

“He has appointed judges who will return to a parliamentary method— the original purpose of the constitution— not to pass legislation from the bench, but to returnto co-equality branches of power,” he said.

Would you agree that President Trump was the most successful pro-life president in the history of this nation?

That’s not all, said Hunt.

“I’m excited about everything he’s done to protect freedom of religion, rights of conscience, the protection of the Planned Parenthood, the appointment to these judges who will interpret the Constitution as written,” he said.

Hunt said the policies of Trump are helping pro-life activists who have been dealing with abortion for years.

He said, “These are great moments. “These are the moves we’ve been waiting for in this country to stop abortion. Looking at the way we have stopped the slave trade in history, that didn’t happen overnight. “That took a lot of work, and people I find as champions, including William Wilberforce, who fought for 60 years to stop the slave industry.

Able to call Schiff, Whistleblower, Bidens To Testify in Case Senate Allows Senators to see”[ W]e are having abortion there and this president should be honored, and I think that 100,000 people would be able to say thanks to this president for the work he did.”

Hunt compared Trump to former President Abraham Lincoln during his interview.

“During his[ presidency], Lincoln also grew,” said Hunt.

“He was mainly nervous at the beginning of the Civil War to keep the Union together. It changed as he became a very passionate abolitionist, and eventually the 13th amendment ended the nation’s slavery, “he said.

During the interview he noted that pro-life warriors such as Vice President Mike Pence and White House Adviser Kellyanne Conway were major figures in Trump.

“Leaders and leaders in our country are surrounded by people who influence and direct their thought, and I have seen this president become a committed pro-life leader, and I believe much of it is due to the transparency with which that administration will engage with the community of faith,” he said.

“I have to tell you that I’ve worked with various administrations. It’s great when we work with pro-life leaders. “@@realDonaldTrump at the March for Life:” When we keep a newborn in our brains, we know the endless love every child has for a family. We see the splendor that radiates from every human soul as we watch a child grow.

Pic.twitter.com/1g0hKqmNS4— Students For Trump (@TrumpStudents) January 24, 2020 Trump has punished Democrats and saluted pro-life advocate in a White House media-pool report for their comments on Friday.

“Unfortunately, the far left works vigorously to abolish our rights given to Christ, to shut down faithful charities, to ban public religious believers and silence Americans who believe in sainthood,” Trump said.

“They come after me because I fight for you and we fight for the voiceless.” Trump said that all children deserve to be entitled to life.

“We can not say what our people can accomplish yet unborn, the visions they envision, the masterpieces they create and the discoveries they produce,” Trump said.

“But we know this: love brings into this world every single life. Each child brings a family happiness. Everyone should be safe. They know first and foremost that every soul of man is sacred, and every creation— born and unborn — is created in the holy image of Almighty God, “he added.

“We will defend this truth together throughout our splendid country. We must set our people’s dreams free. And with intense anticipation, we look forward to all the blessings of every American child’s beauty, talent, intent, righteousness and grace.
