Lying TRAITOR Mitch McConnell says Capitol rioters ‘were provoked by the president’

How do we get punished with “leadership” who are in league with our worst enemies?

WTF is wrong with GOP?

Mitch McConnell says Capitol rioters ‘were provoked by the president’

By Steven Nelson, NY Post, January 19, 2021 | 12:53pm | Updated

Mitch McConnell says Capitol rioters ‘were provoked by the president’ Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday said the Jan. 6 Capitol rioters were “provoked” by President Trump “and other powerful people” to try to stop certification of his election defeat.

In a Senate floor speech, McConnell (R-Ky.) said, “The last time the Senate convened, we had just reclaimed the Capitol from violent criminals … the mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people. And they tried to use fear and violence to stop a specific proceeding … but we pressed on.”

McConnell’s wife, former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, was the first member of Trump’s cabinet to resign over the riot, which followed a speech by Trump near the White House in which he urged thousands of supporters to “fight like hell” to persuade lawmakers to overturn Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory.

McConnell, who will be the most powerful Republican in Washington when Trump departs office Wednesday at noon, has said he’s undecided on whether to convict Trump in a looming impeachment trial over the riot.

McConnell will relinquish his majority leader position to Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Wednesday, but will retain the power to block legislation and impede Biden’s nominees due to Senate rules.

Trump was impeached by the House last week for allegedly inciting an insurrection. If he’s convicted in the Senate, he could be banned from holding federal office again. At least 17 Republican votes are needed to convict — a steep climb. In the House, 10 Republicans broke ranks and voted to impeach Trump.

Vincent James O’Connor Banned From DLive

/in , , , , , , /by

It isn’t easy to monitor everything Vincent James O’Connor has ever said or written online. Since 2015 he has been a prolific creator of online content, with an output that includes three hour live video segments, streamed multiple times each week.

So maybe Vincent James O’Connor has said something absolutely horrible, something so vile that even those of us who defend his right to free speech would be hesitant to defend him. That’s not likely, though, because despite being on the predictable leftist hit lists for years, YouTube didn’t kick him off their platform until a few months ago. He discussed all of this on a video he recently posted to BitChute.

Demonetized by YouTube along with Steven Crowder and dozens of others in June 2019, O’Connor started placing 3rd party ads on his own. It wasn’t until August of 2020 that YouTube cancelled O’Connor’s “Red Elephants” channel altogether. No strikes. No warning. No reason provided.

Meanwhile, O’Connor had begun streaming on DLive, a relatively new platform that welcomed everyone. Five days a week, three hours per day, for nearly a year, O’Connor was broadcasting on DLive, putting in the same volume of work as major talk radio hosts. And by doing this, this man whose political opinions have made him unemployable in most professions was able support his family.

But no more. All too aware of what happened to Parler, shortly after the events of January 6, management at DLive banned O’Connor from their platform. The people banned along with O’Connor had some of the biggest audiences on DLive, including Nick Fuentes, Patrick Casey, Ethan Ralph, Patrick , Steve Franzen, Salty Cracker, Jake Lloyd, and many others.

Coping with being thrown off two platforms where he’d placed his biggest bets, O’Connor has now made his primary home a new platform Trovo.live/VincentJames. For financial support Vincent James O’Connor’s Red Elephants relies on viewers going either to SubscribeStar or using Bitcoin. He cannot be supported via CashApp, PayPal, Venmo, GooglePay, or Apple Pay, because they’ve all banned him. For that matter, O’Connor has also been banned by Airbnb, Uber, Uber Eats, Vrbo and others.

There are at least two things signified by what’s happened to O’Connor. First, if you become a target of the left and the censors, they won’t stop at pushing you off platforms. Your banishment will extend to a full spectrum of online services including payment processors, transportation, and lodging.

Second, and more generally, the censorship in America has advanced beyond silencing individual voices like Vincent James O’Connor, and has now moved to silencing entire platforms. Parler is gone and may or may not come back. DLive has been kneecapped. Telegram is coming under siege, and not surprising at all, a front in this battle is Apple, which is being sued by someone alleging “emotional distress” based on Telegram’s presence in Apple’s App Store. And Gab, not dependent on 3rd party servers, is overwhelmed with traffic and faces a tough challenge: How will they make enough money to expand, if every bank, major hosting vendor or ISP, and possibly even ICANN is determined to see them fail. How will any of them?

If Vincent James O’Connor has said anything, ever, to justify this sort of censorship, then YouTube ought to be willing to provide the evidence. The same goes for every single case of censorship. The Left in the United States, backed up by a frightening array of corporate and federal power, has nearly succeeded is eliminating not “hate speech,” but speech they hate. This must stop.

JANUARY 20, 2021: A Date Which Will Live In Infamy

/in , , , , , /by

When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941 President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in a speech before a joint session of Congress, stated,

YESTERDAY, December 7, 1941 a date which will live in infamy the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.

Wednesday, January 20, 2021 will go down in history as another date that will live in infamy.

President-elect Donald J. Trump said the following at his inauguration:

Today’s ceremony, however, has very special meaning. Because today we are not merely transferring power from one Administration to another, or from one party to another – but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the American People.

For too long, a small group in our nation’s Capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost.

Washington flourished – but the people did not share in its wealth.

Politicians prospered – but the jobs left, and the factories closed.

The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country.

Their victories have not been your victories; their triumphs have not been your triumphs; and while they celebrated in our nation’s Capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land.

That all changes – starting right here, and right now, because this moment is your moment: it belongs to you.

On January 20, 2021 the power will be taken away from the American people and returned back to Washington, D.C. This is why this date will live in infamy.

The Attack on America and Americans

Pearl Harbor was a well planned and coordinated military attack. January 20th, 2021 there will be a planned and coordinated political, cultural and corporate attack against those who support liberty, freedom, the sanctity of life, the sanctity of marriage and the U.S. Constitution.

Under this onslaught by Biden and the Democrat Party the enemy is not only the America but God. We have seen conservatives attacked, beaten, killed, fired from their jobs, imprisoned and banned from social media and demonized.

But much worse is the attacks on synagogues and churches.

Attacking God

Election Forum in a column titled “Churches Across America Are Having Their Twitter, Facebook and YouTube Censored” reports:

Across America, pastors and Christian organizations that do not compromise on speaking the truth are being censored.

With the end of the election and the control of the Senate by the pro-Socialist Democrats, the entire anti-Christian, pro-Socialist activists are increasing pressure to censor free speech and stop communication that is a threat.

And they are being very successful.

One of the safe havens that has been taken down is Parler, a competitor of Twitter.

Attacking God is beyond the pale.

Conclusion

We predict that there will be a rapid and ruthless attack against those who do not submit to the mandates of Biden, the Democrat Party and the bureaucrats of Washington, D.C.

They are in power and empowered. Democrats now control the White House, both Houses of Congress and the Swamp.

There will be immediate efforts to transfer power to Washington, D.C. We can see it as barbed wire is placed in our nation’s capital. Why? To show those who don’t kneel that the power and even our military will be used to suppress We The People.

The three C’s of this coup will be:

  1. Covid – expect draconian policies to be implemented in the name of this pandemic.
  2. Crises – expect more crises to further demonize and even label those who supported Trump as terrorists.
  3. Control – expect more and more control as the power quickly shifts from the people back to the Swamp.

Today nearly two-thirds of Americans say our country is headed in the wrong direction. The problem is that Biden, the Democrats and the Swamp don’t care. For you see the Democrats now have total control of who counts that ballots. Therefore, they don’t care how you vote, because it won’t matter.

The Democrats will continue to cheat and steal. That is their way now.

Smoke Signal For ‘RIGGED ELECTION!’ Seen Rising From White House Lawn

/in , /by

U.S.—With Trump cut off from his primary means of communication on Twitter, he has been forced to find creative ways to communicate with his supporters. Yesterday, people in D.C. reported seeing a column of black smoke rising from the white house lawn in a distinctive Morse code pattern. The pattern was later translated to mean “RIGGED ELECTION!”

“Trump is a man of the people, and nothing will stop him from talking to them,” said Press Secretary Kayleigh Mcenany in a statement written on a paper towel with a marker and delivered via carrier pigeon. “He continues to believe this election was unfair and will continue to bring that message to th—” The message ended abruptly, seemingly because the Press Secretary had run out of space on the paper towel.

Elders from the Cherokee Nation forcefully condemned Trump’s communication method as an egregious act of cultural appropriation. National Guard troops were then dispatched to confiscate Trump’s firewood and wet horse blanket and silence the President once again.

Not to be deterred, Trump has announced he will be hiring thousands of town criers to walk through towns across America shouting “RIGGED ELECTION!”

Beware of False Prophets in Sheep’s Clothing

/in , , , , /by

“You can believe in whatsoever you like, but the truth remains the truth, no matter how sweet the lie may taste.” – Michael Bassey Johnson

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” – Matthew 7:15

“To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.” –  Voltaire

“Moral principles do not depend on a majority vote. Wrong is wrong, even if everybody is wrong. Right is right, even if nobody is right.” – Bishop Fulton J. Sheen

President Trump loves America and he loves her people.  He knows he won the 2020 election, and certainly he knows that if he leaves office and allows Biden/Harris to become the new “presidents,” that everything he’s accomplished in four years will be overturned.  I simply cannot see him doing that when he knows he was cheated out of a landslide election.  Yet, he’s been through four years of hell by the enemies of freedom, both the Democrat Marxists and the neo-con Trotskyite Republicans.  Will our great warrior leave the ring, or will he continue?  We don’t know.

Foreign Interference

The Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, has just come out with more information about election interference.  Expected in December, the assessment was delayed as senior intelligence officials clashed over the role played by China, and as director of national intelligence, John Ratcliffe sought to include more viewpoints in the final analysis.

DJHJ Media reports, “The long-awaited report on foreign interference in the 2020 Presidential election from DNI Director Ratcliffe was delivered to Congress on Thursday, one day before President Donald J. Trump was denied access to using numerous social media outlets. A source admitted that the report was held back so Trump could not tell the American people or their representatives about the foreign influence on the election before they counted the electoral votes on Wednesday.”

This is typical of our intelligence community, is it not?  The hatred for this great president has been unparalleled.

If President Trump is leaving office on January 20th, why is he still working as though he’ll have a second term?

Trump’s Decisive Actions

A friend of mine mentioned Trump’s recent actions:

  • Why bother declassifying evidence of foreign election interference on January 7th?
  • Why place Cuba on the Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) on January 10th?
  • Why revoke $120 billion of Huawei licenses on January 17th?
  • Why move Israel to United States Central Command (Centcom) under General McKenzie (out of United States European Command and United States Central Command (EUCOM) under General Tod D. Wolters) when you’re leaving office?

All of the above, except the first item, can be revoked on Day 1 of a new administration.  Why would Trump continue to work so hard if he is done?
Is this whole thing a charade?  Is he leaving to protect those close to him?  Has he engaged the loyal military – sub rosa – to act while he’s out of harm’s way?

My friend is right, these are reasonable questions to ask…and independent media is reporting that the President sent his family out of the White House and to a safe place on the eve of the 17th.

And here’s more…CNN reported on Sunday that the National Security Agency (NSA) is installing Trump loyalists as general counsel.  The NSA said that it was installing  former GOP operative and Trump loyalist, Michael Ellis, as the top NSA lawyer.  Pelosi is going bonkers. Ellis accepted this job offer and his new roll will start on Tuesday…so if Biden is in control on Wednesday, Ellis will surely be immediately fired.

NSA Director Paul Nakasone is allegedly one of the “White Hats,” and Chris Miller, who I really don’t fully trust, is in charge of the Department of Defense.  Why did Chris Miller, who allegedly can’t wait to leave his job, order Ellis into the NSA quickly?  Things don’t add up if Trump is leaving office on Wednesday.

Georgia Attorney L. Lin Wood said, “Every lie will be revealed.”  He openly stated that 75% of the people elected Donald Trump in a landslide.  Neither Lin Wood nor Mike Adams of the Health Ranger Report believe that Trump can come this far and quit on us.  I love Lin Wood, I believe he’s a great man of God, and I believe he tells us the truth. As for Mike Adams, I’ve always thought of him as a sensationalist, but perhaps in the last few months he’s searched for sincere truth…we’ll see.  He has promoted lunatics who are total liars and therein lies the problem.  But watch his latest video and decide for yourselves.

The Frauds

Prophets have forecast that Trump would win the 2020 election.  Well, he did, but the fraud perpetrated by the Democrat communists and their friends have snaked their way into stealing the “one man, one vote” American election from Donald Trump via their Dominion machines, the Smartmatic software, and the internet connections to foreign communist countries, including Russia, Serbia, Germany, Iran, Italy and our worst enemy, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

Americans who love this country have listened to frauds who are anathema to the truth, and they’ve believed them and forwarded their statements to our inboxes where they are filled with lies from false prophets and frauds claiming intel that has no basis in truth.  Too many false prophets have been lifted on high by folks are grasping at straws and want to believe Trump will save the Republic.  He may truly do that, but not through the false claims of men and women who believe they have a word from God.

Over five dozen emails by Charlie Ward, Janet Ossebaard, Robert Steele, and Simon Parkes have appeared in my inbox.  All of them proclaiming that the Insurrection Act has been signed by President Trump and a counter revolution is brewing to save the Republic.  Nothing these people have said is true.

The Capitol Hill riot on Jan. 6th where Antifa and BLM posed as Trump supporters undoubtedly at the behest of her highness Pelosi who allegedly told the Capitol Hill police to let them in, and Trump’s apparent concession speech the following day has caused these lunatics to become a YouTube phenomenon. These people and their compatriots have been promoting false truths and false hopes to Trump supporters who cannot believe Trump will allow America to fall into the hands of the Chinese loving American communists.

I have a hard time believing Trump will allow this as well, but I don’t listen to people who haven’t valid sources, neither do they have valid curriculum vitae nor documented legal or governmental status.  They are buffoons lying to the people who are praying the country will be saved from a communist takeover.

Let’s look at a few of them…

Simon Parkes, Charlie Ward, and David Steele

Simon Parkes has told disappointed Trump supporters that he is in direct contact with “Q,” who is supposedly a leading pro-Trump figure who has direct intel access.  Parkes is the shadowy figure supposedly leading a pro-Trump conspiracy to unseat corrupt and evil forces in Washington, D.C., and that there will be a great counter-revolution and legal disclosure in the next few days that will end with Trump being installed for a second term as president.  He has claimed the president signed the Insurrection Act… a blatant lie.

Parkes states on his website that his mother is a nine-foot green monster, that he’s had sex with an extraterrestrial alien and has an offspring with same and that he has sex with this alien four times a year and his wife is not happy.  Uh-huh!  And people are listening to this lunatic.

Unfortunately, Mike Adams believes these people and he needs to dump them, they are false friends and have no truth to impart to the people. Their goal is the money they make when you click on their deceptive tales of truth.

In the last few weeks of checking on Parkes, he has changed his website, and has also changed the “about” portion as well.

Dr. Charlie Ward is as sensationalist and as off the rails as is Parkes…both are Brits.  I have to wonder how much money they are making with their false documentaries and promises.

Robert David Steele is a blatant anti-Semite and I have no use for him whatsoever.  When you try to check his bio, his military service, or his education, you come up with nothing.   He’s either a very thorough fraud, or he’s legit and just completely off his rocker.  He is also tight with former Democrat Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney and has written an article with her.

These people are frauds.

Conclusion

Patriotic Americans hope and pray that we will be saved from an onslaught of never ending communism via the fraudulent and treasonous election of Biden/Harris.

For four years, our president has endured the attacks by the enemies of freedom.  He has risen above the charges, been found innocent of every one of them, and he has fought for our country and her people.

General Michael T. Flynn has also suffered for four years against a harsh and evil entity who wished to silence the man who knew the evil who came against him and well could have exposed it.  Deep State entities surrounding our president facilitated the expulsion of this brilliant man who spent 33 years serving his country.

Sidney Powell has worked tirelessly and without full compensation to save General Flynn and America from the same enemies who wish to destroy her and the patriots who love her.

L. Lin Wood preaches not only Bible truth, but truth regarding those who are the very enemies of our country. He knows them all.

The aforementioned people love America and love the Lord God Almighty.  Each of them has labored in their own way to save our beloved country from destruction.  God has had His Hand on each of them.

It is up to us, the American people who love freedom and liberty, given to us by men who pledged their lives and property for America, to take a stand against the evil pervading our country.  It must be done now.

PODCAST: Trying To Kick Trump Under The Bus

/in , , , , /by

Kcking him under the bus, the reality is they are not kidding anyone but themselves. While these shenanigans go on, the country has stalled and the affairs of the nation are not being addressed, except by President Trump in his final days. That is a fact.

In terms of the president’s second impeachment, this is getting little notice by the American public as they know this is nothing but a political charade, even among grass-root Democrats. Many are asking why they are even bothering with this as his term is rapidly coming to an end. Let me see if I can explain.

Following the “Stop the Steal” protest of January 6th, where some people broke into Congress under suspicious circumstances (perhaps because they were not Trump supporters at all), Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) used this as an excuse to bring impeachment charges against President Trump for the second time, allegedly for inciting insurrection. Normally this would go to the Judiciary Committee first for discussion and vote before coming to the floor of the House, but not this time as it is being rushed at the 11th hour.

Prior to the protest, the President addressed his supporters. There is nothing in his speech to suggest he incited anything. Click for AUDIO/VIDEO or for the TRANSCRIPT.

There were only three comments that apply here:

  1. “We soon will be marching over to the Capitol to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”
  2. “Today you will be marching to the Capitol to cheer on those brave senators and congressmen and women to do the right thing.”
  3. “We are going to the Capitol to give our Republicans the kind of pride and boldness they need to take our country back.”

Other than that, the speech mostly detailed a long list of his administration’s accomplishments and then detailed the many examples of election fraud in the large cities of the battleground states, followed by his proposals for election reform. In other words, the speech was perfectly acceptable. It is hard to imagine how the Congress will try to misrepresent his words. Nonetheless, the Democrats and News Media have blown this out of proportion intentionally as they see it as a way to seek revenge against a president they couldn’t control or manipulate.

All of this is nothing more than a way to get back at someone who wouldn’t cow-tow to the Washington establishment (aka, “The Swamp”). Congress may claim outrage over the incident, but the reality is they are jealous President Trump retains a loyal following, and are still afraid of him. As such, the impeachment has two objectives: first, to kick the president under the bus in the hope he doesn’t run for a second term, and; second, to take note of the GOP senators and house members who voted against impeachment and use this as a mark of disgrace in the next election.

Whereas President Trump wanted to run the office of the president like a business, the Washington culture is one of scratching each other’s backs for financial gain, an incestuous relationship between politicians, lobbyists and journalists. Even Republicans on Capitol Hill showed their true colors by back-peddling on their support for the president. This has not gone unnoticed by grass-root Republicans who are mortified by the weakness of the GOP. So much so, the Republican party is now in a damage-control mode of operation. To illustrate, here in my home county in Florida, hundreds of people have already changed their party affiliation, from Republican to Independent, with many more likely to occur. This is how disgusted people are with their spineless Republican politicians. Had the November elections happened now, Republican politicians would likely find themselves out on the street. That is how serious it has become, while people gravitate to new political groups.

The Democrats on Capitol Hill would have us believe Trump supporters no longer support the rule of law and, as such, must be suppressed for the safety of the country. The reality is, there are no stronger advocates of law and order than Trump supporters. This too is a fact, yet the Democrats are painting a picture of their threat to society. Forget about the Democrat-backed support of Antifa and BLM, who burned and killed people and businesses this past “Summer of Hate.” To Democrats, this is a perfectly acceptable form of conduct. They think they can immobilize the Trump people by doing such things as introducing legislation to prohibit Trump rallies, and clamp down on their ability to communicate.

The Congressional break-in became a convenient excuse by social media companies to censor opponents of Democrats, specifically conservative groups and individuals who suddenly disappeared from their platforms like a Mafia hit. Even Parler, a free-speech social network, was given the heave-ho by Amazon. Twitter permanently suspended President Trump’s account and a horde of his supporters terminated their membership, including yours truly.

This suppression of free-speech by social media is scary as, inevitably, talk radio will be next and conservatives will be without an effective channel of communications. So much for the First Amendment.

This brings up a point, the “cancel culture” of this country is reaching new levels. I admit to tuning out the major television networks and cable news outlets as they have lost credibility with me. I simply do not trust them and see them as instruments of the far-left. Nor will I watch movies by such actors as Robert DeNiro, Tom Hanks, or George Clooney. They have politicized themselves to the point I cannot bring myself to watch them or pay to see their movies. And, Yes, I have cancelled newspapers I believe spout nothing but “Fake News.” The point is, the growing “cancel culture” is producing two Americas with allegiances that are diametrically opposed to each other and heightening tensions. This cannot possibly end well.

Yes, the call for impeachment is being done more for political histrionics than anything else. It is also very duplicitous (deceitful/treacherous). So much so, it makes me wonder who is really calling the shots for the Democrats. After all, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are not smart enough to engineer such a scenario, they are just following orders.

Even Joe Biden called the “Stop the Steel” protesters as “domestic terrorists,”; to wit, “They were a riotous mob, insurrectionists, domestic terrorists. It’s that basic,” Come on Joe, take your medicine and sit in the corner. Why didn’t you use this language when Antifa and BLM ran amok this past summer President-elect Unity? What a hypocrite.

As Pelosi pushes this forward, I hope the president has her arrested and charged with treason for trying to get the Joint Chiefs to change Trump’s nuclear codes. This is an overt attempt to disrupt the chain of command in order to overthrow the government.

Nobody believes the January 6th “Stop the Steel” protest was a legitimate act of insurrection, but they are blowing it out of proportion to run President Trump and his supporters out of town so they can resume their incestuous love affair.

Unfortunately, it will not work. Trump supporters will simply re-group and take back the Capitol by use of the ballot box. This may or may not include Republicans. Actually we are long overdue for a cleanup of the nation’s capitol altogether. Now is the time for election reform to eliminate these career politicians. Since the Congress will not do it, it is time for a Constitutional Convention.

One last note about the Democrats impeaching President Trump for a second time; they can impeach him as many times as they want, but historians will record this as nothing but political retribution. As much as the Democrats want to portray it as a badge of shame, it is back-firing on them and now being viewed as a badge of honor he received for standing up to the establishment. It will also diminish the concept of impeachment which will hurt them in the next congressional election, which is now less than two years away. Now the next question will be, will the Republicans have the nerve to impeach Joe Biden?

BTW, need a new social network for conservatives? Try MeWe and CODIAS. I’ll see you there.

Keep the Faith!

American Thinker Disables Comments Section

/in , , , , /by

Ultimately what the establishment fears is open forums that lead to shifts in what is “acceptable political discourse.”

Reading comments on websites is kind of like watching fringe channels that traffic in conspiracy theories. There’s a lot to wade through that is at best a waste of time, but if you persevere you will eventually find information of great interest that cannot be found anywhere else.

If you want to control what people see and what people learn, that is a threat. Comments must go.

This is why back in June 2020 The Federalist was forced to disable its comments section in order to keep Google ads. At the same time, Google banned ZeroHedge outright, taking away their ad revenue, alleging “racist” comments on the website. The following month, Yahoo News “temporarily” disabled its comments section.

Each of these incidents had one thing in common: comments posted introduced readers to information that was inconvenient. In Yahoo’s case, comments leaned conservative, and almost always exposed the article’s lies, omissions, distortions, and bias. Six months later, Yahoo’s temporary ban is still in force.

Now another right-of-center online source of news and analysis, American Thinker, has also disabled its comments section. In a post on January 14, the editor wrote: “It is news to almost nobody who reads American Thinker that a political witch hunt is underway. Parties in and out of government are looking for excuses to suppress and destroy voices that oppose the left. Because AT lacks the ability to monitor comments in real time, and because our position that comments are a forum, not something we publish, is being called into question, we can no longer publish comments.”

It is true that comments are often offensive. But how the tech companies that enable hosting and ad revenue choose which websites to intimidate is selective, either driven by leftwing bias within companies like Google and Amazon, or driven by complaint mobs that the Left is very good at organizing and targeting. If you have any doubt that enforcement is selective, just read the comments on DailyKos articles. For that matter, read the comments on Washington Post articles. They don’t hold back. They don’t get banned, either.

Ultimately what the establishment fears is open forums that lead to shifts in what is “acceptable political discourse.” An article published in July 2019 by the BBC made the establishment position embarrassingly plain on the threat represented by right-of-center narratives, writing that “The more mainstream these narratives become, the greater the tension will be over whether they really are extreme or whether they represent acceptable political discourse, and the views of a substantial number of real people.”

Comments on websites, like posts and videos, are protected speech. Just as platforms where people add posts and videos enjoy Section 230 immunity from liability for the content of those posts and videos, the website forums where comments are made are entitled to the same immunity. Unfortunately, big tech and their mobs of online warriors are seeing to it these forums are shut down anyway, one by one.

This is yet another front in the battle to preserve online free speech. Perhaps at the least, the Right needs to organize its own complaint mobs!

Biden Unveils Skin Color Chart To Determine Who Gets Federal Aid

/in , /by

WILMINGTON, DE—President-elect Joe Biden gave a press briefing from the basement of his Wilmington mansion announcing that his incoming administration will be utilizing an innovative skin color chart to determine who is the priority in receiving their share of the $900 billion federal coronavirus aid package recently passed by Congress.

“Our priority will be black, Latino, Asian, and Native American-owned small businesses, women-owned businesses,” Biden informed the nation. “We are sending out a new color chart to all agencies involved to make sure there is no malarkey with white males and those with melanin deficiencies cutting in from where we are placing them at the back of the line.”

Experts praised the administration’s new color chart as being very unambiguous, black-and-white even, on who the government was going to help and not help.

“This is a real progressive reform in the way a government receives money from some people to help certain other people based entirely on melanin,” said Kristen Clarke, Biden’s nominee to lead the Department Of Justice and all-around expert in genetics. “Melanin endows black people with greater mental, physical, and spiritual abilities, so it is only right that they get government aid first.”

At publishing time, Biden was seen sniffing people while trying the new skin color chart to see if people smell better or worse based on melanin too.

The Totalitarian Left Moves to Silence All Dissent

/in , , , , , , /by

In an article that was picked up by the Mercury News, Ethan Baron of the Bay Area News Group wrote Tuesday that “A week after false claims of a stolen U.S. presidential election drove a deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, Twitter is allowing a far-right supporter of President Donald Trump to claim the election was stolen.” Baron’s intention was clear: he wants Twitter to ban me, as it banned Trump, for telling truths they want buried. His article shows how monstrous and totalitarian the left really is: leftists think they can publicly call for the censuring and banning of someone whose views they hate, and just like that, you disappear.

The left and its propaganda arm, the establishment media, are now working hard to make it illegal, and get you banned from social media, to state the obvious fact that the election was stolen. The Democrats are seeking to criminalize and penalize anyone who says the election was stolen. Their “insurrection” hoax, and impeachment of the president without due process or giving him the chance to defend himself, is designed to shut down any and all talk of their infamous election fraud. This is not the behavior of people who know they won fair and square and are watching their opponents have a tantrum about it. This is the action of the guilty.

That said, the election was stolen. The mountains of evidence of election fraud were never examined in any court, and then we were told that there was no evidence at all, or if there was any, it had already been dismissed in court challenges. The court cases were all dismissed on technicalities and procedural issues, not because there was no evidence of voter fraud. That evidence has still not been examined.

But it is a hallmark of the rapidly advancing totalitarianism of our age that thumb suckers like Ethan Baron think they can kill you with righteous indignation. He wrote: “Anti-Muslim activist Pamela Geller, in a tweet Monday about banks freezing political donations after a pro-Trump mob stormed the seat of the U.S. government, said the banks’ decision was, ‘Further proof the election was stolen.’” I am not “anti-Muslim” any more than foes of the Nazis were “anti-German,” but that’s another story. Baron offered no counterargument to my contention about the banks. He just presented it as if it were self-evidently false and egregious.

Baron knew, of course, that he didn’t have to show that what I said was inaccurate. All he had to do was point out that I had deviated from the leftist line, and the jackbooted neo-fascists who run Twitter and the other social media platforms would spring into action.

It was reminiscent of the media outrage that was directed at me in May 2015, when I hosted the Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest in Garland, Texas that was the site of the first ISIS attack on American soil. I was raked over the coals not just on CNN, but also on Fox, which hadn’t yet switched sides then, and by conservative spokesmen who should have known better. I was defending the freedom of speech against violent intimidation. We never saw the hate and attacks that were directed at me in the wake of that event in Garland directed at the Fort Hood jihadi, the Times Square jihad bomber, the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony jihad bomber, the Boston Marathon jihad bombers, the New York subway jihad bomber, or any other jihadis.

We have never seen the media hatred and anything like the attacks that were directed at me directed towards the jihadists who beheaded journalist after journalist (their own!), or towards those who beheaded hundreds of Christians, executed them because they were non-Muslims, or towards the perpetrators of the ongoing genocide of non-Muslims and secular Muslims in Muslim countries.

If we had a responsible media, they would stand for the freedom of speech as we did in Garland. If we had a responsible media, it would be applauding the fact that some people are still standing up and telling the truth about the election despite the immense pressure from powerful forces to stop doing so.

How do these people not understand this most basic, elemental concept of freedom?

I didn’t start this war for the freedom of speech, but I won’t lie down and submit, either. Twitter and the rest may heed Baron and ban me. But even then, this isn’t over. What remains to be seen is whether the free world will finally wake up and stand for the freedom of speech, or instead kowtow to this evil and continue to denounce me and others like me. What’s really frightening and astonishing about this assault on our freedom of speech is the number of people cheering on the silencing of dissent from the establishment line. I never expected that from my fellow Americans. But if the darkness of totalitarianism does come to the United States, it will be thanks to them and to the likes of Ethan Baron.

What Every American Needs Most Now Is GODfidence!

/in , , /by

GODfidence: the unwavering belief that one can rely on God; a firm trust in the grace of God. A faithful belief that God is always with you no matter your current circumstance or situation.

I have been approached by many people of faith and they ask:

What can I do now that our elected leaders, government and judicial system have failed us?

MY ANSWER: You must believe in Him! You must have GODfidence!

I get my strength from the Holy Bible.

I think about the day that Moses died and how the chosen people felt without their leader who lead them out of slavery in Egypt under the pharaoh. When they reached the edge of their promised land they lost Moses and wondered what will happen now! They then wandered in despair into the desert for 40 years until God spoke to Joshua and told him to lead His people back to the promised land. The land that God promised them. They and Joshua then knew that God always keeps His promises.

As it is written in Joshua 1:9,

9 Have I not commanded you. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

I think about what the disciples of Jesus Christ must have felt as they watched him die on the cross. With his death their dreams and hope that He would free them from the tyranny of Imperial Roman were gone, they thought forever.

All of the disciples were in deep despair as the bloodied body of Jesus was taken down from the cross at Calvary and carried away to a tomb that awaited His earthly remains.

The disciples felt lost, alone, afraid and with a feeling of hopelessness as they stood with beside His mother Mary.

Many of them fled thinking that they would suffer the same fate, which history tells us all did but one.

However, on the third day after Jesus died on the cross he arose and this is chronicled in the Holy Bible in Mark 16: 1-20,

¹The Sabbath day ended. Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices. They were going to use them for Jesus’ body. 

2 Very early on the first day of the week, they were on their way to the tomb. It was just after sunrise. 

3 They asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance to the tomb?”

4 Then they looked up and saw that the stone had been rolled away. The stone was very large. 

5 They entered the tomb. As they did, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe. He was sitting on the right side. They were alarmed.

6 “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. But he has risen! He is not here! See the place where they had put him. 

7 Go! Tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him. It will be just as he told you.’ ”

8 The women were shaking and confused. They went out and ran away from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.

9 Jesus rose from the dead early on the first day of the week. He appeared first to Mary Magdalene. He had driven seven demons out of her. 

10 She went and told those who had been with him. She found them crying. They were very sad. 

11 They heard that Jesus was alive and that she had seen him. But they did not believe it.

12 After that, Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them. This happened while they were walking out in the country. 

13 The two returned and told the others about it. But the others did not believe them either.

14 Later Jesus appeared to the 11 disciples as they were eating. He spoke firmly to them because they had no faith. They would not believe those who had seen him after he rose from the dead.

15 He said to them, “Go into all the world. Preach the good news to everyone. 

16 Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who does not believe will be punished. 

17 Here are the miraculous signs that those who believe will do. In my name they will drive out demons. They will speak in languages they had not known before. 

18 They will pick up snakes with their hands. And when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all. They will place their hands on sick people. And the people will get well.”

19 When the Lord Jesus finished speaking to them, he was taken up into heaven. He sat down at the right hand of God. 

20 Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere. The Lord worked with them. And he backed up his word by the signs that went with it.

God gave us His Son to be our Lord, Redeemer and Savior.

What America and every American now needs is GODfidence. Trust in Him for He will never forsake you.

Unlike the earthly leaders, He can be trusted always.

Take heart. Never give up. Like the disciples never surrender. Go into all the world. Preach the good news to everyone.

Be strong, be courageous because God is with you

Reportedly Now 30,000 Troops in Washington, D.C. — An American Militarized Zone, a Sad Day for America

/in , , , /by

I’m not planning to watch the coronation this week, but the images will surely be stunning—a feeble old man inaugurated surrounded by 30,000 troops (the numbers have been increased) who would rather be somewhere else.

From Gateway Pundit:

Biden Inaugural Like Baghdad: Green Zone, Red Zone, Military Checkpoints to Enter and Leave Downtown D.C., Bridges Into City to Be Closed

In the days leading up to the Biden inaugural, the nation’s capital has been turned into an occupied military zone like Baghdad.  Armed troops authorized to use lethal force are manning checkpoints to enter and leave downtown Washington, D.C.  Green Zone and and Red Zone perimeters have been established. Several bridges into the city from neighboring Virginia are scheduled to be closed next week for the inaugural.

Sean Spicer, President Trump’s first press secretary and current Newsmax TV host, posted video apparently taken Friday night that shows a military checkpoint to leave D.C. near the Lincoln Memorial.

Much more here.

And, we are expected to believe that Biden was so popular and received the most votes of any American President!  I think the DC militarized zone is a cover for the fact that he can’t draw a crowd.

Remember, if there is any violence, it will all come from the Left, from revolutionaries and anarchists.

My guess is that the images will be stark with few in attendance and a massive military force to see Biden and Harris installed.

Will Joe Biden become a Derelict President?

/in , , , , /by

DERELICT:  Noun – something voluntarily abandoned

SYNONYMS: Adjective – careless, disregardful, lax, lazy, neglectful, neglecting, negligent, remiss, slack

A reader sent me an email titled “Derelict President: Biden.” There is growing concern that Biden, his party and his administration, will voluntarily abandon America internationally, abandon American’s working class domestically, abandon the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution and eventually even betray and abandon those 80 million who voted for him.

QUESTION: How will Biden become a Derelict President?

Joe Biden has called for unity but his actions, and those of his supporters, indicated that is the last thing they want. What Biden and Democrats want is vengeance. Vengeance against anyone who disagrees with their policies and politics. Even from those who voted for him and support the Democrat Party.

The Potential for Biden’s Dereliction of Duty

Early indicators are that Biden wants to undo everything that his predecessor has done to make America great. The America first policy will be replaced, that much is clear.

By replacing an America first policy Biden puts America and Americans at great risk.

The Democrats in Congress have already shown that they want to implement policies that will harm American workers, especially minorities, the working class and small business owners. For example, Biden has supported a minimum wage of “at least $15.”

In a September, 2019 column titled “7 Quotes That Reveal the Racist Origins of Minimum Wage Laws” Jon Miltimore warned:

Minimum wage laws are suddenly vogue. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, 18 states began 2019 with a new minimum wage. Three states have since passed legislation to increase the minimum wage to $15 an hour, a wage floor the House of Representatives is seeking to make the law of the land.

The age-old lesson of Econ 101, that, to quote Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman in 1998, “the higher wage reduces the quantity of labor demanded, and hence leads to unemployment,” is no longer considered rock solid.

A minimum wage is the new Eugenics. It kills jobs and therefore kills lives. Arthur Holcombe of Harvard University, a member of the Massachusetts Minimum Wage Commission, speaking approvingly of Australia’s minimum wage legislation in 1912, quoted from “Eugenics and Economics in the Progressive Era” stated:

“[The minimum wage will] protect the white Australian’s standard of living from the invidious competition of the colored races, particularly of the Chinese.”

In an April 2nd, 2018 article titled “The Racist Roots Behind the Minimum Wage” wrote:

Economist Walter Williams has called the minimum wage “one of the most effective tools in the arsenal of racists everywhere in the world.”

Yet today’s “Fight for $15” has placed a federal minimum wage increase at center stage.

“The federal minimum wage of $7.25 is a starvation wage,” Sen. Bernie Sanders tweeted. “If you work 40 hours a week, you should not live in poverty.”

Legislation to increase the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour also gained the support of 2020 Democratic Presidential nominees including Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris and Cory Booker.

As documented in this Cato Institute research paper, the first minimum wage law, the Davis-Bacon Act of 1931, had racist origins. According to researcher David E. Bernstein, the story begins in 1927 when a contractor from Alabama “won a bid to build a Veteran’s Bureau hospital in Long Island, New York. He brought a crew of black construction workers from Alabama to work on the project. Appalled that blacks from the South were working on a federal project in his district, Representative Robert Bacon of Long Island submitted H.R. 17069.”

Kamala Harris, who claims to be black, is now Vice-President elect and supports a higher minimum wage.

Dereliction and Biden’s Ukrainian Problem

Joe Biden, his brother James Biden and his son Hunter Biden have both a Ukrainian and a China problem.

The problem is that they have taken money from both Ukrainian businesses and the Communist Chinese Party and its affiliated organizations in order to enrich themselves at the expense of American businesses.

In a November 3rd, 2020 column titled “Hunter Biden Emails, Texts Raise Questions That Need Answers” GianCarlo Canaparo and Hans von Spakovsky wrote:

The New York Post published an article Oct. 14 that summarizes the contents of an unencrypted laptop reportedly abandoned at a Delaware computer repair store in April 2019 by Hunter Biden. Both Facebook and Twitter blocked access to this Post article.

The laptop contained “a treasure trove of top-secret material,” according to the Daily Mail, including personal phone numbers for Joe Biden, the Clintons, Secret Service officers, and other senior executive officials. It was secured simply by the password “Hunter02.”

Among the information retrieved from the laptop was an email—its authenticity confirmed by cybersecurity expert Robert Graham—from Vadym Pozharskyi to Hunter Biden thanking him for the opportunity to meet with his father, Joe Biden, while he was vice president.

Dereliction and Biden’s China Problem

OANN Newsroom, on September 7th, 2020 reported:

A resurfaced video from the Obama-era White House shows Joe Biden joking about asking Mainland China to help him become president.

Biden made those remarks at a U.S.-Chinese forum in Washington back in 2013 while referring to his earlier meeting with Xi Jinping who had just become Chinese president.

WATCH:

Conclusion

President Obama promised that with his election he would “fundamentally transform America.” It now appears that Biden will carry out this transformation beginning on January 20, 2021.

Biden’s party now controls both houses of Congress. Anything that happens from Wednesday, January 20th, 2021 falls on the shoulders of Biden, Harris and the Democrat Party. They have no one else to blame for what happens.

Biden’s dereliction will become crystal clear soon enough!

Fascism Comes to the U.S.

/in , , , , /by


The destruction of the freedom of speech in America today is being carried out by the Leftist establishment that dominates the political sphere, the social media giants, the establishment media, the educational system – virtually everything, really. The Left is using the Capitol riot of January 6 as its Reichstag Fire moment to criminalize, silence, and destroy utterly not just President Trump, but all Americans who still dare to oppose its sinister woke totalitarianism. In doing so, Leftists are revealing themselves, for all their rhetoric about how Trump and his supporters are fascists, to be quintessential fascists themselves.

This fact is all too often waved away by those who insist, quite correctly on one level, “They’re not fascists, they’re Communists.” The National Socialists of Germany strongly identified with Mussolini’s Fascists in Italy, and brawled on the street with the Communists. Hitler made his determination to destroy Communism in Europe a centerpiece of his agenda. So many assume that Leftists today, carrying the banner of Antifa, an organization that was born in 1920s street fights with the National Socialists, could not possibly be fascists.

Yet they can be and they are. Contrary to what many believe, being a Communist and a fascist is not a contradiction in terms, like being a Republican Democrat or an honest journalist. Communists and National Socialists were bitter enemies in Weimar Germany in large part because they were competitors in the same arena: in the late 1920s and early 1930s, they were the two major German parties that wanted to destroy the Weimar Republic and impose authoritarian rule. They just disagreed over who would be in charge.

They disagreed about more than that as well, of course. Marxism is based on total government control of the means of production, whereas the National Socialists, although they flirted with this idea in various ways for years before coming to power, allowed for private enterprise. However, this, too, was not as large a gap between the two as many people assume it to be. Hitler biographer Peter Longerich notes that “six months after the ‘seizure of power’ with its various upheavals, Hitler had reached a deal with German business, according to which their authority within their enterprises was increased in return for an agreement to submit to overall direction by the state.” The means of production were still privately owned, but they were wholly under the control of the National Socialist state.

This deal between Hitler and the German business titans was one of the principal reasons why his regime is called “fascist” at all. The word “fascist” comes from the Latin fasces, “bundles,” usually bundles of wooden rods. It might seem at first glance to be an odd name for a political movement, but the idea was that the disparate forces in society were bundled together in a unity of purpose and allegiance. Thus for the ancient Romans the fasces were a symbol of governmental authority, and from that Mussolini took the name of his movement. In ensuring that private businesses could remain private but had to work for the good of the state as a whole and under direction of the National Socialist government, Hitler was bundling together the titans of business, unifying them in service to his agenda.

So it is today. The social media giants and the Leftist government elites, the swamp that has reasserted its hegemony by installing Old Joe in the White House, are working in lockstep. The government doesn’t own the social media outlets, and it doesn’t have to: whether Big Tech is submitting to overall direction by the state or the state is submitting to overall direction by Big Tech, the outcome is the same: every major force in American society is marching in the same direction, while dissenters are stigmatized, demonized, framed for crimes they didn’t commit, silenced, and isolated.

Thus what we are seeing in the last few days, with the banning of the president of the United States from the main means of communication today, and the unity of purpose between the media, Big Tech, and the Democratic Party in propagating the Big Lie that Trump incited violence and attempted a coup on January 6, is fascism in action. And if the fascists aren’t stopped soon, what we have already seen will be just the beginning.

Law and Disorder

/in , , , /by

Americans were shocked by the assault on the U. S. Capitol that took place on January 6th, ostensibly by Trump supporters.

The US Capitol Police Chief, who has since resigned, stated:

“The violent attack on the U.S. Capitol was unlike any I have ever experienced in my 30 years in law enforcement here in Washington, D. C.”

Pat Buchanan noted: “What Americans watched was a mob occupation and desecration of the temple of the American Republic. And the event will be forever exploited to discredit not only Trump but the movement he led and the achievements of his presidency. He will be demonized as no one else in our history since Richard Nixon or Joe McCarthy.”

The fallout from last Wednesday will likely continue for a long time. The pitchfork brigade that frightened those in the Capitol for a few hours will likely become the face of “conservatives” on direct mail pieces of the Southern Poverty Law Center and their ilk.

But those inside the Capitol were not typical of the vast majority of conservatives, including those who attended the D. C. meeting. Pastor and columnist Larry Tomczak was there.

For wnd.com (1/6/21), he writes:

“The diverse crowd was overwhelmingly respectful but righteously angry. The gathered multitudes were a far cry from the boisterous, violent and destructive protests of Black Lives Matter, Antifa and far-left extremists.”

How are we to process all this? Dr. Richard Land, president of Southern Evangelical Seminary, commented on the attack: “Americans must always reject the resort to violence in pursuit of political goals. It is literally ‘un-American’ to engage in, or resort to, violent disregard of the law. This is not a question of conservative vs. liberal or Democrat vs. Republican. This is right vs. wrong.”

One now-repentant participant inside the Capitol is quoted in the New York Post (1/8/21): “My decision to enter the Capitol was wrong, and I am deeply regretful to have done so. Without qualification and as a peaceful and law-abiding citizen, I condemn the violence and destruction that took place in Washington.”

But, of course, if he’s looking for forgiveness from the left, he will not find it. There is no redemption from the left.

Part of the story that is so difficult to stomach is the double standard—the way the media treats protesters on the right versus those on the left.

Tristan Justice of The Federalist.com notes that in the last year there were 28 times that “media and Democrats excused or endorsed violence committed by left-wing activists.” He points out:

“Democrats and their allies in the media are ready to condemn riots now that the turmoil has shifted to fit their narrative.”

Justice adds,

“Incoming Vice President Kamala Harris encouraged her supporters last summer to donate to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, which provided bail money to the militant anarchists facing charges for setting fire to Minneapolis.”

Looting and stealing and killing and violence for months was called “mostly peaceful protests.” Some of the reporters saying these riots were “mostly peaceful protests” had burning buildings behind them. They were reminiscent of Baghdad Bob, spokesman for Saddam Hussein in 2003, who would report that his forces were winning while the viewer could see the exact opposite behind Bob.

For months, we saw looting and unprecedented destruction of people’s livelihoods. Many of the people financially hurt were the working poor, including minorities, whose businesses and dreams went up in smoke.

America is all about the rule of law. The creation of the U.S. Constitution was in response to a riotous situation.

Some commentators note that the frustrated Capitol protesters did not go as far as trying to spark an insurrection. But, interestingly, the Constitution came about because of a true insurrection. It was called Shays’s Rebellion (1786).

In her 1986 book on the creation of the Constitution, Miracle at Philadelphia, author Catherine Drinker Bowen says,

“Desperate farmers, ruinously taxed—‘by Boston,’ they said—and seeing their cattle and their land distrained by the bailiffs, had risen in revolt. With staves and pitchforks they had marched on county courthouses after the best Revolutionary technique, frightening sound-money men out of their wits and rousing General Washington to express disgust and anger that a country which had won a difficult war was not able to keep order in peacetime.”

Response to this ultimately led to the creation of the Constitution—something good out of the ashes of calamity.

Meanwhile, America’s need to repent and return to God could not be clearer. One of the worst potential outcomes would be to encourage more Christian apathy on politics. It is never a good time to quit doing the right thing, even after major setbacks. After all, as Calvin Coolidge said,

“If good men don’t hold office, bad men will.”

How Cultural Marxism is Grinding Down the Military

/in , , , /by

“Cultural Marxism” refers to the process of grinding down western democracies by subverting the pillars of their culture, the structures and institutions of family, religion, education, politics, law, the arts and the media, as they provide the social cohesion necessary to a functioning society. Undermine the principles these structural institutions embody, and a capitalist society can be overthrown from within without firing a shot.

Like termites destroying the foundation of a house, cultural Marxists in our midst have since the 1960s worked via stealth and deception to radically transform every structural institution in America, including its armed forces.  When Barack Obama was elected president, radical transformation of the military accelerated at warp speed.

The military exists to fight and win wars, with its senior commanders responsible for ensuring their respective branch is fully prepared to pull its weight in carrying out that national imperative. While President Obama was staffing the Pentagon with progressive activists more committed to social justice than combat readiness, America’s highest-ranking generals and admirals offered little pushback, perhaps in fear of being called racist and seeing their career abruptly end at a time not of their own choosing.

In deciding whose career would flourish and whose wouldn’t, Obama had military promotion boards select officers willing to aggressively implement his stated intent to “fundamentally transform the United States of America.”  With the military’s topmost commanders afraid of speaking out, Obama’s social justice warriors at the Pentagon were free to subordinate military preparedness to an endless trail of political objectives that methodically ground down one of America’s most vital institutions, its armed forces.

Column left

In an April 2016 article titled “Obama marches armed forces leftward,” the Washington Times reported this: “President Obama has become one of the nation’s most successful commanders in chief when it comes to at least one battlefield: the liberal agenda. Perhaps not since Harry S. Truman’s landmark 1948 order to racially integrate the military has a president unleashed his own collective social revolution on the Pentagon with such success.  In the process, the building also has become one of the administration’s loudest voices on battling climate change, even as its ability to fight one major war is in doubt due to budget cuts.”

White privilege indoctrination

Climate change wasn’t the only part of Obama’s progressive agenda meekly acquiesced to by compliant Pentagon brass. According to the same Washington Times article, Obama also had the military indoctrinate troops with “white privilege,” a real phenomenon that deserves discussion, but is exploited by cultural Marxists as a political bludgeon to create feelings of guilt and self-hatred among whites. A virtue-signaling Tweet by woke Hollywood actress Rosanna Arquette revealed the mindset that white privilege ideology seeks to create: “I am so sorry I was born white and privileged. It disgusts me. And I feel so much shame.”

“I’m being taught how not to be a man.”

Nearly four years after Obama left office, cultural Marxists at the Pentagon are still influencing military decisions.  FrontPageMag reported that the United States Military Academy is brainwashing the cadet corps with “toxic masculinity,” a theoretical male defect invented by militant feminists to make men more docile. The author of the report put it this way: “To emasculate a civilization, you indoctrinate its youth to believe that the natural traits typically associated with masculinity – such as aggression, competitiveness, and emotional self-control – are poisonous to society and even to boys and men themselves. You convince men – especially society’s warriors – to reject their very nature altogether.” As one West Point cadet said under condition of anonymity, “I’m being taught how not to be a man.”

Political correctness rules the military roost

Obama’s cultural Marxists in the Pentagon, including many who’re still there, infected every branch of the armed forces with stage 4 political correctness.  As reported by the Air Force Times, poor morale among stateside military units can be traced to politically correct changes in military culture.  The Air Force staff sergeant who wrote the article said this: “You’re allowed to be proud, and even proclaim that pride, in being black, Latino, homosexual, atheist or transgender, yet I cannot proclaim my pride in being a white, heterosexual, male Christian without serious reprimand.  This division is encouraged and supported by the Air Force.”

Military used to diminish Christianity

Obama’s social justice warriors at the Pentagon were tasked with purging vestiges of America’s predominant religion from military life, including the following unsettling instances, each of which ground down the morale of Christians in uniform:

  • Ordered removal of Nativity scene in dining hall of Guantanamo Naval Base.
  • Prohibited a Christian chaplain from ministering to the family of dead soldier.
  • Court-martialed a Marine for refusing to remove a Bible verse from her computer.
  • Threatened to punish an Air Force Academy cadet leader for writing a Bible verse on the whiteboard outside his dorm room.
  • Threatened to court-martial soldiers who share their Christian faith with colleagues.
  • Ordered the Air Force to remove a video tribute to First Sergeants because it mentioned the word “God.”
  • Ordered an Air Force colonel relieved of duty for opposing gay marriage on religious grounds.
  • Ordered a VA hospital to ban a high school choir from singing Christmas carols to sick and wounded soldiers.

Cultural Marxists in civilian society pile on

The Pentagon isn’t the only place in our society where cultural Marxists grind down the spirit of those who serve:

  • Using victim vs. oppressor ideology as an excuse, Marxist students at City College of New York demanded that the school’s ROTC program be kicked off campus.
  • San Francisco’s school board voted to dump the JROTC program from the city’s high schools.
  • Addressing a student who wore a Marine shirt to class, a public school teacher in California referred to members of the military as “the lowest of the low.”
  • Two men were arrested in Alabama for urinating on a war memorial.
  • In a letter dripping with anti-military hated, a group of 50 Microsoft employees demanded that the company cancel a weapons enhancement contract with the Pentagon.
  •  Former Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry suggested that military enlistees aren’t very smart.

While Russia and China were developing new and massively lethal weapons systems aimed squarely at America, President Obama allowed every branch of the military to fall into a shocking state of disrepair.  In 2018, the year after Obama left office, a jaw-dropping report by the bi-partisan National Defense Strategy Commission found that due to the atrophied condition of its armed forces, America could struggle to win, or could lose – lose! – a war against Russia or China.

Frontline troops witnessed the military’s decline under Obama:  “The Army I joined during Barack Obama’s first term was nothing like the Army I left at the end of his second,” former Army Ranger captain and Afghanistan War veteran James Hasson told Fox News.  Hasson’s book, “Stand Down: How Social Justice Warriors Are Sabotaging America’s Military,” describes how cultural Marxists in the Pentagon continue to grind down one of America’s most indispensable institutions, its military.

A video worth watching and sharing

Produced in 2010 by Curtis Bowers, a former Republican member of the Idaho House of Representatives, the feature-length documentary “AGENDA: Grinding America Down” shows how close the Marxists in our midst are to finishing off America once and for all.
