In May and June of 2020 Antifa and Black Lives Matter protestors were rioting all over Washington DC, attempting to destroy statues, looting businesses and lighting fires. The Mayor of DC allowed the protestors space to destroy the city. The epicenter of the left-wing rioting and violence was Lafayette park, across the street from the White House.
Thus began a major controversial narrative in June of last year as the media and democrats decried how the U.S. Park Police cleared protestors from Lafayette Park shortly before President Trump walked to St. John’s church. The media shouted that President Trump told park police to fire tear gas into the crowd and dispurse the protesters in any manner or method. However the report today [pdf here] shows President Trump had nothing to do with it. It was all lies, all of it.
The DOJ Inspector General released a report reviewing all the events and found the decision to clear the park was made to clear the park of protestors several days before President Trump walked to St. Johns, and the White House had nothing to do with the decision.
From the Report: “The evidence we obtained did not support a finding that the USPP cleared the park to allow the President to survey the damage and walk to St. John’s Church. Instead, the evidence we reviewed showed that the USPP cleared the park to allow the contractor to safely install the antiscale fencing in response to destruction of property and injury to officers occurring on May 30 and 31.
Further, the evidence showed that the USPP did not know about the President’s potential movement until mid- to late afternoon on June 1—hours after it had begun developing its operational plan and the Fencing contractor had arrived in the park.” (report pdf)
Starry-eyed radicals in the 1960s and 1970s dreamed that they either were going to take over America or destroy it.
One of their favorite psychodramatic mottos was “Change it or Lose it,” even as protests focused on drugs, music, race, class, sex, fashion—and almost anything and everything.
Sixties radicals tutored America on long hair, wire-rim eyeglasses, and who was a drag, a square, a bummer, and who was hip, cool, groovy, mellow, and far out. Most of these silly revolutionaries were not unhinged Weathermen killers or SDS would-be Communists, but just adolescents along for the good-time ride.
With the end of the draft in 1972, the winding down of the Vietnam War, the oil embargoes, and the worsening economy, the ’60s revolution withered away. Cynics claimed the “revolution” was always mostly about middle-class students with long hair, kicking back during the peak of the postwar boom, indulging their appetites, and ensuring they would not end up in Vietnam.
It is not even true that the ’60s at least ensured needed reform. The civil rights movement and equal rights for women and gays were already birthed before the hippies, as were folk songs, and early rock music.
Instead, what the ’60s revolution did was accelerate these trends—but also radicalize, manipulate, and coarsen them.
The grasping “yuppies” of the 1980s were the natural successors to let-it-all-hang-out hippies. The ’60s were at heart a narcissistic free-for-all when “freedom” often entailed self-indulgence and avoiding responsibility.
By 1981, the Reagan revolution finished off the dead-enders of the Woodstock Generation. Most eventually grew up. They rebooted their self-centered drug, sex, and party impulses to fixations on money, status, and material things.
Sixties protestors mainlined divorce, abortion on demand, promiscuity, drug use, and one-parent homes. But in the end, most veteran cultural revolutionaries by the late 1970s and 1980s had gotten married, were raising families, bought homes, got jobs, and made money.
But this time around, their offspring’s left-wing assault is different—and far more ominous. The woke grandchildren of the former outsiders are now more ruthless, systematic insiders. The woke and wired new establishment knows how to use their money and power to rebirth America as something the founders and most current Americans never envisioned.
Name one mainline institution that the woke Left does not now control—and warp. The media? The campuses? Silicon Valley? Professional sports? The corporate boardroom? Foundations? The K-12 educational establishment? The military hierarchy? The administrative state? The FBI top echelon?
The Left absorbed them all. But this time around it really believes that “by any means necessary” is no mere slogan. Instead, it is a model of how to disrupt or destroy 233 years of American customs, traditions, and values.
Woke revolutionaries are not panhandlers, street people, or Grateful Dead groupies. They are not even a few ragtag, nutty, and murderous Symbionese Liberation Army terrorists fighting against “the Man.”
They are “the Man.”
Our 21st-century revolutionaries are multibillionaires in flip-flops, tie-dye T-shirts, and nose rings, but with the absolute power and wish to censor how half the country communicates—or cancel them entirely.
They don’t flock to campus free-speech areas; they are the campus administrators who ban free speech.
They don’t picket outside the Pentagon; they are inside the Pentagon.
They don’t chant “eat the rich”; they are the rich who eat at Napa Valley’s French Laundry.
They don’t protest “uptight” values, because they are more intolerant and puritanical than any Victorian.
Their leaders are not stoners who smoke dope, but the stone-sober who scan data on spreadsheets, downloads, and page views.
They don’t believe in racial quotas based on “proportional representation,” because they are racists who demand underrepresentation of “bad” racial groups and overrepresentation of “good” groups. The color of our skin is their gospel, not the content of our character.
They are top-down revolutionaries. None of their agendas, from open borders and changing the Constitution to critical race theory and banning clean-burning fossil fuels, ever polls 50 percent.
Their guidebook is “ never let a crisis go to waste.” Only in times of a pandemic, a national quarantine, or volatile racial relations, can the new upscale leftist revolutionaries use fear to push through policies that no one in calm times could stomach.
Our revolutionaries hate dissent. They destroy any who question their media-spun hoaxes like Russian collusion, the bat origin of COVID-19, or the idea that Hunter Biden’s laptop was a Russian plant.
Truth is their enemy, and fear is their weapon. Sixties paranoid revolutionaries warned about George Orwell’s 1984; but our revolutionaries are 1984.
While this elitist leftist revolution is more dangerous than its sloppy 1960s’ predecessor, it is also more vulnerable given its obnoxious, top-heavy apparatus—but only if the proverbial people finally say to their madness, “Enough is enough.”
The most frequent question people pose to me is: What can I do to fight back against the nihilistic anti-American destruction of virtually all the country’s major institutions?
There is an answer.
The single best thing Americans can do to counter the left-wing attack on America—against its freedoms, its schools, its families, its children, its governmental institutions, its sports, its news and entertainment media, its medical establishment, the CIA, the FBI, the State Department, and the military—is to take their children out of America’s schools.
Other than in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math), the vast majority of America’s elementary schools, high schools, colleges, and universities teach your child or grandchild almost nothing important; prematurely sexualize them, thereby robbing them of their innocence; and harm them intellectually and morally. They rarely teach them, for example, art or music because they are too busy teaching them race-centered hatred of whites, of America, and of America’s values.
Sending your child(ren) to most American schools is playing Russian roulette with their values—but unlike the gun in Russian roulette, which has a bullet in only one of its six chambers, the schools’ guns hold four or five bullets.
In many elementary schools, your child is taught that gender is chosen and that there is no difference between boys and girls (in a growing number of schools, the teachers are told not to call their students “boys and girls”); they are taught about masturbation; and many children from first grade on attend “Drag Queen Story Hour,” wherein an obvious man wearing women’s clothing, garish makeup, and a wig entertains them.
Given that all this is well-known, why do any non-Left—meaning, liberal or conservative—parents send their children to an American school?
One reason is they are in denial. Many parents do not want to know what their children are being taught and the consequent damage done to them. They don’t really believe school(s) will ruin their child, let alone their child’s relationship with them.
These parents should speak to any of the millions—yes, millions—of Americans whose children have contempt for America, for free speech, and for their parents as a result of attending an American college or even high school. I meet such people at every speech I give, and I speak to them regularly on my radio show. Ask these parents, if they could redo their lives, whether they would keep their child in school.
A second reason is they feel they have no choice. If they remove their child from the local public or private school (most private schools are just as committed to anti-American indoctrination over education as public schools), what will they do with their child? They often cannot find a local school that does not harm their child. They cannot necessarily even rely on Christian or Jewish schools. Most of them are as “woke” as most secular schools. And if they do find a school that teaches rather than poisons, they may not be able to afford the tuition.
The only other option, then, is to home-school one’s child. The problem is that many parents assume this is essentially impossible. For one thing, they assume that one of the parents would have to leave his or her work, which would mean a serious reduction in the family’s income. In addition, home-schooling strikes most people as simply too daunting a task, even if they could afford to take it on.
Neither fear is entirely justified. It is true that, at least at the outset, a working parent may have to cut back from full-time work, and it is true that no matter what the family’s financial condition, there are challenges to taking one’s children out of school and home-schooling them.
But given the low intellectual state of most American schools, the damage they do to young children’s innocence and the anti-American, anti-white, anti-Western indoctrination in most schools, if you are a parent of school-age children, what is your choice?
Other than a) finding a good school that b) you can afford, you have no other choice. You are fooling yourself if you think the odds are that after attending American schools from kindergarten through college (not to mention through graduate school), your child will turn out well-educated, intellectually alive, rational, kind, happy, well-adjusted, grateful to be American and respectful of you and your values.
While there are some wonderful young Americans who recently attended American schools, and there are some lost souls who were home-schooled, American schools are largely producing the following:
Poorly educated students. Ask your college son or daughter to diagram a sentence; identify Joseph Stalin, The Gulag Archipelago or the Soviet Union; name the branches of the American government; identify—or just spell—Ludwig van Beethoven; date the U.S. Civil War; identify the Holocaust; and name which sentence is correct—”He gave the book to my friend and me” or, “He gave the book to my friend and I.”
Angry young people. Why wouldn’t they be? First, they graduate college with a huge load of debt, having received almost nothing useful for their money. Second, if they are anything other than a white heterosexual Christian male, they have been taught to regard themselves as victims of oppression. Third, their future is so bleak they may not even have one: They are threatened with extinction by climate change.
The single best thing Americans can do to fight the left-wing destruction of the country is to withdraw from the “educational” system that is actively, deliberately miseducating them by the tens of millions. If millions of American parents did so, the country would turn around as fast as you could say “teachers’ unions.” If they don’t, their children will continue being used as guinea pigs in the left’s sick and dystopian experiment.
(Acting) President Biden has pledged to “help narrow the racial wealth gap and
reinvest in communities that have been left behind by failed policies.”
He used the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa race massacre in Greenwood, a
thriving African American community ravaged by a racist mob in 1921, as
the occasion to promise more federal contracts for minority-owned
companies and address discrimination in home appraisals for black
families.
The Tulsa mob murdered more than 300 Black men, women and children
over a two-day period, May 31 to June 1, forcing thousands to flee for
their lives while watching their homes and businesses burn to the
ground. No one was ever held responsible for the devastation.
But Biden's Tulsa appearance and speech continues a narrative favored
by Democrats that reinforces the wrong belief that African Americans
can do nothing without government. Of course, if government were their
savior, would it not have solved all the problems Democrats continually
talk about, but do little to fix?
Democrats want to keep reminding us how bad race relations have been
historically and how bad they are now, but even Democrats must admit
we've made significant progress. I offer just a few statements from
accomplished African Americans who faced crippling discrimination and
racism in their day but still became successful. These motivational
words point us in the direction we need to go and could move many from a
dependence on government to lives of self-sufficiency.
If Ken Burns were presenting these statements as one of his great
documentaries, it might start with a picture followed by these quotes:
“If you have no confidence in self,
you are twice defeated in the race of life.” Marcus Garvey (a Black
nationalist and leader of the Pan-Africanism movement, which sought to
unify and connect people of African descent worldwide).
A case could be made for school choice for low-income students denied
a good education in failing inner-city schools: “The purpose of
education is to create in a person the ability to look at the world for
himself, to make his own decisions.” (James Baldwin, writer).
Speaking of the need for school choice, here's one from Frederick
Douglass: “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken
men.”
On giving up because one believes there is no way out of one's
circumstances: “We may (en)counter many defeats but we must not be
defeated.” (Maya Angelou)
“I had to make my own living and my own opportunity. But I made it!
Don't sit down and wait for the opportunities to come. Get up and make
them.” (Madam C.J. Walker, an African American entrepreneur,
philanthropist and social activist).
Need more? Here's one from Rosa Parks: “Each person must live their life as a model for others.”
This one seems absent from all American culture today, regardless of
one's race: “We all have dreams. In order to make dreams come into
reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication,
self-discipline and effort.” (Jesse Owens, Olympic runner)
Why do we rarely hear such thoughts expressed by especially Democrats
and even Republicans when speaking to and about African Americans? Why
aren't the successful used as role models instead of the constant focus
on the unsuccessful?
The narrative should be: This is
how we became successful, and this is how you can be successful too.
Changing the narrative offers potentially better outcomes than the one
presently being promoted by liberal politicians.
So-- you wanna homeschool your kid, huh? Well, it might not all be as great as you think. Read on for a list of reasons homeschooling may completely ruin your kid.
1. Homeschooling makes your children much more likely to grow up to become cisgender: Is that what you want, Mom and Dad? Another cis-normative oppressor making trans people feel unsafe?
2. If you homeschool, your child will miss out on up-to-date works of literature written by trans people of color: Do you really want them to settle for outdated works like The Bible or The Tuttle Twins?
3. Homeschool proms are really awkward: Don't make your poor kid go through that, for goodness sake.
4. Homeschooled girls will never experience the magic of sharing a locker room with a 6'4" trans woman named Larry: Don't let your kids miss out on this important life experience.
5. Homeschooled kids usually grow up to be really polite: This is not a very useful character quality for social revolutionaries.
6. If kids don't sit through 8 hours of soul-crushing zoom calls in public school, how will they ever be prepared for a soul-crushing corporate job?: Your children are destined to be good little corporate worker bees. You NEED to prepare them.
7. They will miss out on delicious school lunches: Square pizza and ultra-pasteurized skim milk from a cardboard box? Scrumptious!
8. Denim skirts cause chafing: Just inhumane.
9. They might finish their curriculum early and have more time to be radicalized on YouTube by Jordan Peterson videos: Jordan Peterson is a dangerous cult leader who may radicalize your child into making their bed. Not good!
10. Children may learn that human beings have inherent value as made in God's image: Children who learn that their dignity comes from God and not race, class, or gender identity are not very useful for revolutionary Marxist social change-- er, we mean, a meaningful movement towards greater equity.
Deutsche Bank Issues a Terrifying Warning for America Under Biden
On Monday, Deutsche Bank released a report that further confirms a
portent of doom for the U.S. economy and Democrats led by President Joe
Biden. While many economists and policymakers claim that the recent
uptick in inflation is temporary, Deutsche Bank warned that Biden’s
profligate spending, the Federal Reserve’s low interest rates, and
global economic trends threaten to unleash persistent inflation, which
amounts to an insidious tax on the poor and middle class that benefits
the government.
“Few still remember how our societies and economies were threatened
by high inflation 50 years ago,” David Folkerts-Landau, Deutsche Bank
chief economist and head of research, wrote in a paper
co-written by his colleagues Jim Reid and Peter Hooper. ” The most
basic laws of economics, the ones that have stood the test of time over a
millennium, have not been suspended. An explosive growth in debt
financed largely by central banks is likely to lead to higher
inflation.”
“We worry that the painful lessons of an inflationary past are being
ignored by central bankers, either because they really believe that this
time is different, or they have bought into a new paradigm that low
interest rates are here to stay, or they are protecting their
institutions by not trying to hold back a political steam roller,”
Folkerts-Landau added. “Whatever the reason, we expect inflationary
pressures to re-emerge as the Fed continues with its policy of patience
and its stated belief that current pressures are largely transitory.”
The authors warned that “neglecting inflation leaves global economies
sitting on a time bomb.” They noted similarities between the 1970s and
today.
“Rising oil prices could compound any consumer-driven inflation.
Indeed the price of oil has haunted the Fed before. A series of oil
shocks contributed to the ratcheting up of inflation during the 1970s,
but the Burns Fed chose to focus more on the CPI excluding oil. Then it
excluded surging food prices and the idea of ‘core’ inflation took
shape. Subsequently, more and more items were excluded. Eventually,
however, the Fed recognised that all the supposed transitory sources of
inflation had spread everywhere and double-digit inflation had leaked
into the ‘core’,” Folkerts-Landau wrote.
“Already, many sources of rising prices are filtering through into
the US economy. Even if they are transitory on paper, they may feed into
expectations just as they did in the 1970s. The risk then, is that even
if they are only embedded for a few months they may be difficult to
contain, especially with stimulus so high,” the authors warned.
The Federal Reserve, acting on the assumption that current inflation
trends are temporary, may be too slow to damp the rising pressures on
inflation, Folkerts-Landau warned. “The consequence of delay will be
greater disruption of economic and financial activity than would be
otherwise be the case when the Fed does finally act. In turn, this could
create a significant recession and set off a chain of financial
distress around the world, particularly in emerging markets.”
Inflation is a serious threat, and Biden’s policies have made it more likely.
The core personal consumption expenditures index — which Federal Reserve officials consider the best indicator of inflation — rose 3.1 percent in April,
above the 2.9 percent economists predicted. The Fed considers 2 percent
to be healthy, although it will allow the price index to grow in the
interest of promoting full employment. Unfortunately, unemployment remained above 6 percent in April despite economists predicting that it would dip below 6 percent.
This persistent unemployment should not surprise Americans who are familiar with the Democrats’ $1.9 trillion blue pork bill masquerading
as a “COVID-19 relief” stimulus. Only 8.6 percent of the funding went
directly to combatting the pandemic, while hundreds of billions went to
blue-state bailouts. The bill also sent $1,400 checks to individuals,
and extended the $400/week “enhanced” unemployment benefits.
Thanks to this “enhanced” unemployment, many workers make more money without
a job than they did when they had one. Rather than reconsidering this
perverse incentive not to work, Biden and his fellow Democrats further
entrenched it.
Biden’s other policies would also make the economic situation worse. The president has called for Congress to spend trillions more in social programs that his tax plans cannot hope to fund. Essentially printing money decreases trust in the U.S. dollar and sparks inflation.
The Deutsche Bank report gave two other macroeconomic reasons to expect inflation.
First, over the last 40 years, the integration of China and other
emerging markets into the global economy has meant that hundreds of
millions of cheap workers entered a globalizing workforce, putting
downward pressure on wages and prices. Yet in the years and decades
ahead, the working-age population will decline across the globe. This
scarcity of workers will press wages up and increase the prices of goods
and services.
Secondly, the COVID-19 pandemic has shocked many countries into
realizing the weaknesses of their supply chains. “The desire for
resilience means there will likely be a bias towards investment in home
production, especially in critical sectors, such as personal protective
equipment, drug manufacturing, and semiconductors. The likely result is
higher production costs. These will eventually be passed on to the
consumer,” the Deutsche Bank authors wrote.
Some inflation may represent an overdue correction to unsustainable
global trends like these, but Biden’s profligate spending and his
woefully inadequate tax plans will only worsen the situation.
As PJ Media’s David Goldman wrote,
“inflation is an insidious tax that robs the poor and the middle class.
It favors the U.S. government, the world’s biggest debtor, because the
government expects to pay back its creditors in Monopoly money. It
crushes the real earnings of the vast majority of American households
and destroys their savings. That’s what the Democratics are up to. And
that’s what might bring them down–just as 12% inflation brought down
Jimmy Carter in 1980.”
Unfortunately, inflation will bring down the U.S. economy along with
the Biden Democrats. America needs tighter economic policy in order to
fight inflation. That may call for another Reagan-style revolution.
Kamala Harris has finally thrust herself into the spotlight the last week with her much-ballyhooed trip to Central America. Instead of actually visiting the border where the illegal immigration crisis is, something she’s still neglected to do at all during her tenure, she went to countries like Guatemala to lecture them on climate change. You know, because that’s the supposed “root cause” that we can fix or something along with systemic poverty in these countries — something we can’t even fix at home.
Yet, even the Guatemalan President, who has every incentive to play nice because we give him money, told Harris the current crisis is a result of her and her boss’ decision making, including the gutting of Trump-era provisions that greatly slowed illegal immigration. Harris would later sit down with Lester Holt of NBC News (or at least it aired during her trip) for a cringe performance where she pronounced “I haven’t been to Europe” when pressed on why she hasn’t visited the border. Her oddly timed, hysterical laugh also made an appearance.
This gold-mine of material wasn’t lost on Tucker Carlson, who launched into a hilarious and must-see monologue on the vice president last night. Grab a drink and enjoy.
Tucker hits every aspect, from Harris’ pathetic presidential campaign to the media now treating someone so obviously unimpressive as a transformational figure. At one point, he plays a montage of various news outlets talking about her Guatemala trip and every single one is obsessed with the fact that she’s a “person of color.” You know, because race dictates results when it comes to diplomacy or something. Later, Tucker gets more serious by pointing out how weak she and other Biden officials makes the country look when they spend all their time apologizing for past sins and not on solving current problems.
But honestly, I’m underselling the video. Take the time to watch it. It’s worth it.
In short, Harris’ first big public tour has not only been a failure on the policy front but it’s also been an embarrassing spectacle for her as a politician. Everyone has been reminded why she flopped so hard despite having so much establishment support before being appointed to vice president. If Joe Biden can’t run again in 2024, they’d better have a plan to not allow Harris to be coronated.
During
the dark days of the Cold War, eastern Europeans were isolated from the
rest of the world behind what was warmly referred to as the Iron Curtain.
Everything behind the Iron Curtain was autocratically ruled by the
Soviet Union. As part of its effort to control the populace, all
regional news outlets (print and broadcast) were in fact,
state-sponsored propaganda outlets.
The only exception to the blackout of truthful news was a powerful network of transmitters in western Europe, known as Radio Free Europe.
This network of transmitters broadcast news and entertainment deep into
eastern Europe. In addition to broadcasting the truth to those under
communist rule, it also provided hope and a vision of what was outside
of communist rule. It was instrumental in preparing those behind the
Iron Curtain for the eventual downfall of the Soviet Union.
Unfortunately,
while we were fighting propaganda overseas, citizens back home were
subjected to a uniquely American version of propaganda. For decades --
before the internet and satellite TV -- news in America was controlled
by a select few entities, all of which were closely aligned with the
Democrat party. ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN controlled television and radio
news. The New York Times, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, Boston Globe, and Los Angeles Times set the tone for printed news.
The
media and leftist politicians they supported were creating narratives
to shape public opinion. They crafted their narratives by being
selective in what news they presented, or by outright distortion of
facts. I remember watching Dan Rather on the CBS nightly news in the
early 1980s when he read a suicide note on the air. The author of the
note stated that he was committing suicide because Ronald Reagan had
taken away his welfare benefits. This was followed by a series of
stories about the damage Reagan’s economic policies were having on the
poor in America. There was no mention of how those policies had also
benefited millions. This was just one of many narratives being crafted
for American consumption.
Walter
Cronkite told us the Vietnam war was lost after the Tet Offensive. In
fact, Tet was a devastating loss for the North Vietnamese.
We were told that socialism was superior to capitalism. It just needed to be implemented correctly.
We were told that Ronald Reagan was a fool and a dangerous warmonger. Yet he won the Cold War without firing a shot.
We
were told that Cuba was a workingman’s paradise with free education and
medical care. Yet people were fleeing the island on anything that
would float.
We knew what we observed didn’t quite fit the narrative being presented, but we weren’t sure why. We began to question our worldview. We were being gaslighted.
And
then in 1988, Rush Limbaugh started broadcasting on the AM radio.
Hardly anybody listened to AM radio anymore, but there he was. He was
loud, boisterous, and totally irreverent. He called himself El Rushbo
-- said he had talent on loan from God. He was the happy warrior that
was saying things that we had been feeling for years. He showed us that
we were being manipulated by forces on the left.
He validated our belief that liberty is essential to prosperity
He proudly professed the greatness of America
He preached the purity of the founding vision
He reaffirmed that God is central to American Exceptionalism
Rush
was a zealot preaching the virtues of limited government and
capitalism. And while doing all this, he mocked the enemies of liberty
relentlessly. The NAACP became the NAALCP (National Association for the
Advancement of Liberal Colored People), and radical feminists became
feminazis.
And
with that, we had our Radio Free America. Rush Limbaugh called it the
Excellence In Broadcasting (EIB) Network, but it was performing the same
function in America that Radio Free Europe was performing overseas.
For three hours every day, Rush labored to counteract the damage done by
the propaganda ministry -- and he succeeded beyond anyone’s
imagination.
In
response to Rush’s success, hundreds of conservative talk radio shows
began appearing all over the nation. Once the internet became a thing
(for our young readers, it wasn’t widely used in the 1990s), thousands
of conservative news and opinion sites appeared. There are an estimated
1,500 conservative radio broadcasts,
producing approximately 2,570 hours of conservative content each day!
45 million listeners tune into conservative programming each week.
Conservative broadcasting and online commentary have become so prolific,
that it can no longer be silenced by those who wish to censor it. Rush
created a giant that is challenging the propaganda ministry -- and it’s
here to stay. The propaganda ministry is rapidly losing control of the
narrative, because of something started by a guy from Cape Girardeau,
Missouri.
Aside
from the media network that he spawned; Rush was an old-fashioned tent
revival pastor that converted millions of Americans to conservatism --
one person at a time. He revived the conservative movement in
American. At the time of his death, his radio program was being carried
by 590 stations
across the country and was reaching an estimated 16 million people each
week. The legacy media is taking the blue pill and those choosing to
see the truth are taking the red pill. Rush Limbaugh “red pilled”
untold millions of people -- and his work will continue, long after his
death.
On
10 June 1944, a detachment of SS troops surrounded the tiny hamlet of
Oradour-sur-Glane in the Limousin region of south-central France.
It
is believed by some that the troops were seeking retribution for the
kidnap of a German soldier but some say that resistance members were
based in a different, nearby village.
Most
of the victims were women and children. Many of them were herded into a
local church into which hand grenades were thrown before it was set on
fire.
The men were locked in a barn. Machine-gunners shot at their legs, then doused them in petrol and set them alight.
An
investigation years later saw some 60 soldiers brought to trial in the
1950s. Twenty of them were convicted but all were later released.
A post turtle. You know he didn't get up there by himself. He doesn't
belong there; you wonder who put him there; he can't get anything done
while he's up there; and you just want to help the poor, dumb thing
down."
Article by Steve Feinstein in The American Thinker
Biden to Harris: Disaster 1 to Disaster 2
That
“President” Biden is an unmitigated disaster as our chief executive is
so painfully apparent to everyone that it hardly seems necessary to
point it out. Nonetheless, just briefly consider:
Catastrophic Governance
His
policies -- anti-energy, anti-business, anti-military, anti-America
First -- have wrecked the economy, driven gas to over $3.00/gallon,
given us the absolute worst illegal immigration crisis in our history
and bankrupted the country. In a warped way, it’s kind of impressive
that he’s done that in only a bit over four months.
Leadership Vacuum
No
one believes Biden is calling the shots, He’s totally malleable to
behind-the-scenes operatives, acting in a confused, unknowing fog,
reading as best he can from the teleprompter, and hiding behind his
weird “I’ll get in trouble if I answer any more of your questions”
excuse.
Made America Weak Internationally
The
ayatollahs from Iran, Russia’s Putin, and Xi Jinping of Communist China
are licking their chops at the prospect of having their way with poor
‘ol Joe.
Family Corruption
Has
there ever been a “First Family” with anywhere near the decades-long,
indisputable record of dishonesty, financial misdealings and outright
graft that even approaches that of the Bidens?
Diminished Mental Capacity
For
those among this readership who have a compromised older family member,
it isn’t merely the grotesquely obvious signs of dementia that mark
Biden as severely limited. It’s the more subtle behaviors that betray
his overwhelming incapacity. A clear example occurred just recently when
the ever-admiring and forever-excusing liberal media caught up with
Biden as he was eating an ice cream cone.
Breathlessly shouting out, “What flavor?” the media proceeded to float a
softball his way, asking if there was any possibility that the
Republicans might compromise with him on his infrastructure proposal.
That
Biden (pre-coached, no doubt) predictably belittled the Republicans is
not the point. The issue for those who have the experience with elders
is the manner in which Biden was eating his ice cream cone: the
tentative little bites and the way in which he seemed so preoccupied and
protective of his treat, in an almost childlike way. It’s tough to put
into exact words, but anyone with a badly slipping elder family member
or friend recognizes this demeanor. Biden is well past even the vaguest
pretense of mental competence.
This
brings us to Kamala Harris. For these and other reasons, the Democrats
will ditch Biden for Harris when they believe Biden has outlived his
usefulness and feel that a Harris presidency can be leveraged for
maximum political advantage. But other than transparently boasting that
Harris is the country’s first female president, how would a Harris
administration benefit the country? It won’t.
In
modern times (since, say, 1960 Kennedy vs. Nixon), there has never been
a vice-president or vice-presidential candidate more ideologically
radical and more singularly unqualified to be president than Kamala
Harris. Cabot Lodge, Miller, LBJ, Muskie, Shriver, Dole, Mondale,
Ferraro, Bentsen, Kemp, Gore, Lieberman, Edwards, Palin, Ryan, Kaine and
Pence all had their strengths and shortcomings, but each one was a
serious, experienced politician who was qualified to be president if the
need arose.
The
mainstream liberal media would be quick to say that GHW Bush’s VP --
Dan Quayle -- was not qualified presidential material. As they are wont
to do, the liberal media jumped all over his totally inconsequential
“potatoe vs. potato” spelling controversy and lined up against him when
he opposed the TV show Murphy Brown’s character’s decision to
have an out-of-wedlock child. How dare he have the temerity to question
the moral decision that the distinguished and sophisticated liberal icon
Candice Bergen would bring to a mass television audience?
Conservatives will rightly point out that while Quayle had a penchant
for saying inopportune things, he was not the ideological extremist that
Harris is, nor was he beholden to the farthest reaches of his party the
way Harris is and he certainly was not the inexpert, experiential
lightweight that Harris is.
With
her constant situationally inappropriate hyenalike cackling, her
astonishingly unserious, wild proclamations about matters of critical
national import (such as her preposterous assertion that “climate
change” is a root cause of illegal immigration), and her bizarre
narcissistic need for self-promotion as evidenced by her passing out “Kamala Harris” cookies
to reporters, it is clear that Harris is nothing more than a hastily
cobbled together collection of progressive checked boxes: Person of
Color? Check. Female? Check. Victim of discrimination? Check. Radical
ideology? Check.
Yet these boxes remain distressingly unchecked:
Detailed understanding of economics and taxation
Job creator
Successful manager in the “take no prisoners” private sector
Scientific/technical expertise
Awareness of American and world history.
Knowledge of military strategy, hardware and weaponry
To
be fair, not all great presidents check every single box. But every
passable president checks at least a few of them. Harris comes up
totally empty.
Exactly
when the Democrats will decide to discard Biden like three-day-old
bread remains to be seen. Perhaps it will be after the Democrats have
passed all the extreme legislation and executive orders they feel they
can get away with. That would make some sense: get as many radical
policies in place as possible, have them fall on Biden, then get rid of
Biden in order to distance and inoculate Harris from Republican attack
for those policies in 2024.
The
flaw in this thinking is Harris’s incredible weakness and unsuitability
for the job of commander-in-chief. Her leadership tenure would be a
total catastrophe for America. She’ll be far more concerned with
satisfying woke obligations than acting in the country’s interests as a
whole. America under a Harris administration will be more divided and
polarized along racial, gender and ideological fault lines than ever
before.
The
Republicans had better get this entire election integrity/fraud
situation resolved by the 2022 midterms. Every thinking person knows
that Joe Biden did not legitimately win the 2020 presidential election.
His term has been the absolute fiasco for America that people feared it
would be. A President Harris will be even worse. If she “wins” in 2024,
the negative consequences for the country will likely be permanent and
irreversible. That is the very definition of “disaster.”
The DOJ Inspector General released a report reviewing all the events and found the decision to clear the park was made to clear the park of protestors several days before President Trump walked to St. Johns, and the White House had nothing to do with the decision.
