‘Invasion’: Trump Vows To End Birthright Citizenship For Children Of Illegal Immigrants

Former president and 2024 presidential contender Donald Trump pledged to end birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants in a video posted to Twitter Tuesday.

Trump vowed that on his first day in office, if he’s elected president, he will sign an executive order that the children of illegal immigrants won’t be eligible for citizenship, according to his social media video. A wave of illegal immigration began at the U.S.-Mexico border soon after Biden assumed the presidency, where federal authorities have recorded more than 5.3 million migrant encounters since January 2021.

“It’s things like this that bring millions of people to our country, and they enter our country illegally. My policy will choke off a major incentive for continued illegal immigration, deter more migrants from coming and encourage many of the aliens Joe Biden has unlawfully let into our country to go back to their home countries, they must go back, nobody could afford this, nobody could do this and even morally it’s so wrong,” Trump said.

Trump also seeks to end “birth tourism” where pregnant women wait out the end of their pregnancies on U.S. soil to “jump the line” for green cards and bring other family members to the U.S., Trump said, adding that he will require at least one parent to be a citizen or lawful resident.

“Joe Biden has launched an illegal foreign invasion of our country allowing a record number of illegal aliens to storm across our borders. From all over the world they came,” Trump said. “Under Biden’s current policies, even though these millions of illegal border crossers have entered the country unlawfully, all of their future children will become automatic U.S. citizens, can you imagine? They’ll be eligible for welfare, taxpayer-funded health care, the right to vote, chain migration and countless other government benefits, many of which will also profit the illegal alien parents.”

The Leftist Climate Hoax Agenda Is Buying Its Way Into The News

The news is a fiction much like your favorite episodic TV series. They manufacture a story, frame it, bring in the actors to sell it. Until America understands this, we are susceptible to manipulation and thought control.

The Leftist Green Agenda Is Buying Its Way Into The News

By: Larry Behrens, The Federalist, May 30, 2023

Take a moment to consider the phrase “Joe Biden’s hard-hat environmentalism” that appeared in a recent Associated Press article. Examining Biden’s controversial energy policy and assigning it the positive spin of “hard-hat environmentalism” is something that makes sense as a White House press release or something from the Biden campaign, but not the AP, a purported objective carrier of the news.

Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident.

One recent analysis found AP stories mentioned the phrases “climate change,” “global warming,” and “Climate disaster” hundreds of times since receiving grants totaling $8 million in early 2022. The stated purpose of the money is to fund the AP’s “Climate Journalism Initiative,” which would employ 20 new reporters to “transform how the AP covers the climate story.”

Perhaps it also funded the story that gave us Biden’s hard-hat environmentalism?

In another example from the story, former top Clinton adviser John Podesta is heavily quoted in his role as overseer of the $369 billion for green energy from Biden’s so-called Inflation Reduction Act. The story fails to mention Podesta’s political operative past, including his unofficial title of “White House clean-up chief” during the Clinton years. Also quoted are the extreme eco-groups the Natural Resources Defense Council and Center for Biological Diversity. They are all given a lot of space in a story with a lot of reach.

As a wire service, the hard-hat rebranding from the AP will appear in thousands of newspapers across the world as news. We don’t know if the millions the AP received for climate coverage played a role in helping Biden rebrand his energy policy, and that’s precisely the point.

It is no secret that across the country, particularly in rural areas, newspapers are struggling to survive. It’s not unusual to walk into a small-town newspaper and find one person covering what used to be two or even three different full-time positions. The environmental left recognized this struggle and is now providing money and reporter reeducation to fill the void with its own version of the news.

It’s an ethically questionable but smart strategy that is paying immediate dividends.

As just one of many examples, the nationally recognized Poynter Institute recently offered $15,000 grants to reporters or newsrooms willing to cover the Great Lakes area with some eco-strings attached. Any reporter wanting in on the money will have to tell Poynter “A brief description of what they will probe, why they believe there is a story to be told, and how they plan to report the story.” Put another way, reporters must disclose what they cover and how they will cover it before the money flows.

The program receives “funding support” from the Joyce Foundation, and it didn’t take long to see who provides their support. According to documents filed with the IRS, none other than Bloomberg Philanthropies provided millions to Joyce — yes, as in billionaire and climate darling Michael Bloomberg.

By following the bouncing ball of eco-money, there’s a troubling pattern of a frontline journalism association offering grants to reporters, provided they disclose how they will report their stories, by using money that can be traced back to a billionaire with a big green agenda. If it all seems confusing, that’s because it was designed that way.

Proponents of the green movement are putting millions into grants to sneak content supportive of their agenda under the umbrella of news outlets. Sure, the first story or two may include a small disclaimer at the end noting how the story is part of a project funded by an organization. However, green funders put many layers between themselves and the final project to ensure their fingerprints are nowhere to be found.

Leaked Government Memo Shows How Biden is Forcing Wokeness on Government Employees

‘Sinister, Nefarious, and Dangerous’!


This Democrat administration isn’t just a disaster for this country, it is a danger to individual rights and freedom of thought and expression. And with the hijacking of our election system, redress grows increasingly unachievable. Unrecoverable.

“If Biden and the radical leftists in his administration focused on the real problems facing America — forty-year high inflation, out of control crime, open borders, and a flood of deadly drugs — instead of forcing a woke ideology down our throats, our country would be in a far better position to tackle the problems he has exacerbated,” Wisconsin GOP Senator Ron Johnson snapped.

‘Sinister, Nefarious, And Dangerous’: Federal Government Watchdog Slammed For Memo Urging Woke Language

Daily Wire.: Even a supposed federal government watchdog has gone radically woke, prompting harsh criticism from conservatives. A leaked October 2022 memo from the Government Accountability Office (GAO), which examines government spending and is considered the supreme audit institution of the federal government of the United States, reveals the GAO barring employees from using terms for male and female. The memo was posted on the GAO intranet. “Because meaning and connotations can change rapidly, we should not rely solely on precedent (GAO or otherwise) but should consider consulting early in an engagement with individuals and groups who are within scope of the work,” the four-page memo states, offering “common alternatives to gendered terms” such as “artificial” instead of “man-made,” “crewed” as opposed to “manned,” and “workforce” as opposed to “manpower”

Billion Dollar Losses For Companies That Went Woke Are Staggering – Bud Light, Target, Kohls, North Face

For some psychiatric reason, the left can’t grasp that we don’t care what they do with their peckers, just keep them out of the classrooms and away from our children.

BUD LIGHT VALUE HAS FALLEN $15.7 BILLION SINCE APRIL

National Review: Sales for the beleaguered beer company, Bud Light, have fallen for a sixth consecutive week following its partnership with transgender social-media influencer Dylan Mulvaney. Beer Business Daily, a trade publication, found that the volume of Bud Light sales had dropped by 28.4 percent in the second week of May, up from 27.7 percent the week prior. The consumer cutback on Bud Light has become so bad that one store is even reportedly offering cases of 24-packs – which normally retail close to $20 – for just $3.49 to offset some of the costs of inventory before the beverage expires (National Review). Investors Business Daily: The market value of Anheuser-Busch InBev, whose fourth bestselling brand is Bud Light, dropped $15.7 billion since April 1 (Investors Business Daily).

TARGET LOSES $10 BILLION IN 10 DAYS

Daily Mail: Target has lost more than $10 billion in market capitalization in the span of 10 days – as it continues to face backlash for Pride-themed merchandise. Prior to the controversy – which stems over a LGBTQ-geared clothing campaign that touts ‘tuck-friendly’ bathing suits and pro-trans T-shirts for kids – Target shares were trading at $160.96, giving the retailer a market valuation of roughly $74.3 billion. By the time The New York Stock Exchange closed Friday, the blue-chip stock was trading at $138.93 – marking a market valuation of 64.2 billion, and loss of $10.1 billion (Daily Mail).

KOHL’S CATERS THE WOKE CROWD, GETS BURNED

Daily Mail: Kohl’s has become the latest retailer to receive backlash for catering to the ‘woke crowd’ after shoppers slammed their LGBTQ+ apparel for infants. The onesies with the LGBTQ+ pride flag on them, specifically tailored to June, which is known internationally as Pride Month, have even sparked calls for a store boycott (Daily Mail).

End Wokeness: Looks like Kohl’s didn’t learn a thing from Bud Lite and Target (Twitter). Fox News: Kohl’s Corporation has seen its stock plummet over the last year, sinking by over 50% due to various worrying signs. In July 2022, the stock dropped almost 21% after the retailer revealed it had ended a potential deal to be acquired by Franchise Group and warned of a decline in sales exacerbated by a drop in consumer spending (Fox News).

Biden’s Strategy to Fight Anti-Semitism Enables Hatred of Jews and Israel

BDS, leftist and Muslim anti-Semitism can’t be talked about.


In 2019, President Trump signed an executive order on combating antisemitism. The order used the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism which includes “denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination”, “using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism to characterize Israel” and applying double standards to the Jewish State.

Biden’s hyped U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism, released on the eve of the Shavuot holiday, backtracks from this gold standard by claiming that, “there are several definitions of antisemitism, which serve as valuable tools to raise awareness and increase understanding of antisemitism”, including the IHRA, but noting that the Biden administration “welcomes and appreciates the Nexus Document and notes other such efforts.”

The Nexus definition was authored by anti-Israel activists like Tema Smith, who had claimed that, “Hamas — and the Palestinians as a whole — have desperately real and legitimate grievances against Israel.”

“Jews *have* to be ok with Palestinians *explaining* why some turn to terrorism,” she argued.

The Nexus advisory committee included the likes of Hussein Ibish, who had described Hezbollah as a “disciplined and responsible liberation force” whose terrorists had “conducted themselves in an exemplary manner”, along with J Street leader Jeremy Ben Ami, Lila Corwin-Berman, who had defended BDS, and Chaim Seidler-Feller, whose hatred was so intense he had kicked and scratched a Jewish woman over her support for the Jewish State.

The Nexus definition of antisemitism was created to protect anti-Israel activists from charges of antisemitism. That definition, which the Biden administration chose to promote, claims that BDS, or “boycotting goods made in the West Bank and/or Israel is not antisemitic”, and argues that, “opposition to Zionism and/or Israel does not necessarily reflect specific anti-Jewish animus nor purposefully lead to antisemitic behaviors and conditions” and defends double standards by contending that “paying disproportionate attention to Israel and treating Israel differently than other countries is not prima facie proof of antisemitism.”

While the U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism claims that the IHRA definition is the most prominent, that is not the same as an endorsement and the strategy carefully avoids any mention of BDS and beyond its opening has relatively few mentions of Israel. Despite being hyped by Jewish Democrats, it is undeniably a step back from the Trump executive order.

Even with the seemingly strong language cited by administration supporters, such as “when Israel is singled out because of anti-Jewish hatred, that is antisemitism”, the ‘conditional’ in that sentence is clearly a lawyerly use of the Nexus, not the IHRA definition, defining hatred of Israel only as antisemitism when it can be proven to have originated because of antisemitism.

Incorporating the Nexus defense of BDS and hatred of Israel is a symptom of a larger problem.

The U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism insists that the only kind of antisemitism is white supremacism or “right-wing” hatred. Its only references to leftist, black, or Muslim antisemitism are cautiously indirect because those forms of antisemitism cannot be condemned.

After multiple Muslim and black nationalist terrorist attacks on synagogues, Muslims and black nationalists are only mentioned as allies and fellow victims of white supremacist bigotry.

The strategy states that, “antisemitic conspiracy theories are often foundational to white supremacy as well as numerous other violent extremist ideologies. For example, in January 2022, an armed hostage-taker motivated by other violent notions terrorized the members of a synagogue in Colleyville, Texas.” The “other violent notions” were Islamic ones.

Malik Faisal Akram, a Muslim Pakistani supporter of ‘Lady Al Qaeda’, broke into the synagogue and held the people inside hostage until he was shot and killed by the FBI. Al Qaeda later called Akram a “martyr” and declared that “there Is no greater enemy of Islam and inhabitants of Islam than the Jews”.

When a national antisemitism strategy can’t even name and describe an Al Qaeda attack on a synagogue because it would undermine its premise that Muslims can only be victims and that the only threat worth discussing is white supremacy then it’s the problem, not the solution.

If the Biden administration won’t even allow a mention of the most violent kind of Islamic antisemitism by a supporter of a terror group we are at war with, it’s collaborating with it.

Literally.

The U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism.rollout press release boasts that “the Council on American-Islamic Relations will launch a tour to educate religious communities about steps they can take to protect their houses of worship from hate incidents.”

That’s the same CAIR which has defended Islamic terrorism against Jews, defended Muslim terrorists who plotted attacks on synagogues, whose official, Zahra Billoo, had urged, “we need to pay attention to the Zionist synagogues”, and which was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial involving the funding of Hamas.

When Ahmed Ferhani was arrested for a plot to attack a synagogue, CAIR held a rally to support him. It still has materials on its site defending the antisemitic terrorist.

After promoting an antisemite’s definition of antisemitism, the Biden administration is promoting synagogue bombers to tour and educate houses of worship about security measures.

There are good things about the U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism. It does address campus antisemitism, acknowledging that, “on college campuses, Jewish students, educators, and administrators have been derided, ostracized, and sometimes discriminated against because of their actual or perceived views on Israel.” But it fails to note that the antisemitism is coming from Islamists and leftists, and its focus on “swastikas” and “Kristallnacht” implies the familiar white supremacist narrative even when, in one case, the Nazi reference was actually being employed by a Muslim woman.

The strategy does mention that beyond learning about the Holocaust, students should also learn the “histories of antisemitism experienced by Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews—who trace their ancestry to Spain, the Middle East, and North Africa—and their stories of exclusion, persecution, and expulsion.” And that is a good thing, American Jewish historiography has been dominated for too long by Ashkenazi or European Jewish history, but how will it be possible to teach about Muslim antisemitism without even mentioning Islam?

Even though Orthodox Jews have been the victims of the majority of violent physical assaults, there is only one brief mention of this phenomenon, “some traditionally observant Jews, especially traditional Orthodox Jews, are victimized while walking down the street.”

Inconveniently, the attackers tend to be black or other minorities, and so cannot be mentioned.

The black nationalist massacre at a Kosher grocery store in Jersey City and a machete attack at a synagogue in 2019 go completely unmentioned, even though they were among the deadliest recent attacks on Jews along with the white supremacist terrorist attack in Poway, California.

A better name for the new approach would be the U.S. National Strategy to Counter Those Kinds of Antisemitism We Are Willing to Discuss while leaving out the majority of violent antisemitic threats and avoiding the question of Israel as much as it possibly can.

The U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism is crippled by the woke dependency on intersectionality, on the need to view antisemitism as interrelated with other prejudices and bigotries, and to position Jews as common victims and allies against white supremacy, and in the process it ignores what antisemitism actually is and what is unique about it. And that approach has actually ended up enabling leftist antisemitism over the 20th century.

Anitsemitism is not simply a racial or religious hatred. The attempts to narrowly define it run aground on its persistence across thousands of years, through different cultures, religions, and nations. Antisemitism morphs, adopting different shapes and forms, emerging in radically different political movements across both the Left and the Right, to form a common denominator. The Biden strategy seeks to compartmentalize antisemitism within a postmodern rainbow coalition of minority victims faced with the bigotry of a majority, even as the document is forced to awkwardly grapple with the fact that much of the hatred is coming from minorities.

At best that’s denial and at worst that’s complicity.

The U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism isn’t a strategy to fight antisemitism, but to cover up the reality of it as a politically inconvenient reality with a politically convenient myth. And no one should have expected anything else from a radical administration with no shortage of antisemitic nominees, which continues to undermine Israel while supporting hate groups like CAIR. Whether it’s Nexus or the U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism, putting the enablers of antisemitism in charge of defining and fighting antisemitism can never end well.

Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz To Retire

Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz will retire next month, according to an internal agency email obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Ortiz will retire from the federal government effective June 30, according to the email. The Border Patrol Chief has overseen the agency during record surges in illegal immigration, with Border Patrol agents recording more than 2.2 million illegal migrant encounters in fiscal year 2022 at the southern border, according to agency data.

“After a 32-year Border Patrol career spanning multiple Sectors, HQ tours, and overseas assignments in Afghanistan, I have decided to retire from federal service on June 30th,” Ortiz wrote in the email.

Multiple agents confirmed the authenticity of the email to the DCNF, and that Ortiz would step down June 30.

“Serving as your Chief has been one of the greatest honors and privileges I have had and please know I will always champion this agency, its mission, and the people who make the Border Patrol everything that it is,” Ortiz wrote.

So far in fiscal year 2023, agents have recorded more than 1.2 million encounters.

Border Patrol agents have also apprehended 196 individuals whose names appear on the terror watchlist between October 2021 and April 2023.

Amid the influx of migrants at the southern border, Ortiz testified that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) lacked “operational control” of the area, contradicting DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

“Chief Ortiz has been a great leader of the men and women of the United States Border Patrol for the past two years, and at every level of the organization throughout his three decades of service. He embodies the core values of vigilance, service to country, and integrity, as well as the Border Patrol’s motto: honor first. His steady leadership and operational expertise have greatly benefited the agency, the Department, and the nation — and will continue to influence the Border Patrol well into the future,” Mayorkas said of Ortiz’s retirement in a statement shared with the DCNF.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

This is a breaking news story and will be updated.

The House Passed a Sweeping Border Bill to Stop ‘Invasion’ on May 11th, 2023. Where does it stand today?

Breitbart’s Ashley Oliver on May 11, 2023 published the following,

The House passed a comprehensive border package Thursday, the same day the Biden administration strips border officials of one of the last tools to stem waves of illegal migration.

The vote for H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act of 2023, passed 219 to 213 with no Democrat support. Two Republicans, Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and John Duarte (R-CA), defected.

“This bill secures the border from President Biden’s record crossings, record carelessness, and record chaos,” House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said at a press conference after the bill’s passage.

The legislation comes as the already overwhelmed southern border experiences heightened levels of disorder because of the looming end to Title 42, a Trump-era policy border officials relied on to quickly expel illegal migrants in the name of coronavirus.

The policy is expiring when the declared national public health emergency expires Thursday night.

“It’s going to be chaotic for a while,” Biden admitted in a press conference Tuesday, claiming the administration was doing all they could to address what is expected to be a rush of hundreds of thousands migrants who have been waiting in Mexico.

GovTrack.us reports this about the status of H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act of 2023:

Introduced

Bills and resolutions are referred to committees which debate the bill before possibly sending it on to the whole chamber.

Updated bill text was published as of Preprint (Rule).

MAY 11, 2023

The bill was passed in a vote in the House. It goes to the Senate next.

So H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act of 2023 died in the Democrat controlled Senate.

Biden’s ‘Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde Approach’ To Mining Critical Minerals Could Derail His Own Green Dreams, Critics Say

  • The Biden administration’s policies limiting domestic mining of key minerals are hindering its effort to transition the U.S. economy to green technologies while increasing America’s dependence on China, industry experts and lawmakers told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
  • The administration has taken steps to block major mining projects in Arizona, Alaska and Minnesota, and has been increasingly securing supplies for critical minerals from foreign partners, according to Axios.
  • “I cannot understand why this administration wants to lock in Chinese dominance of mineral supplies instead of investing in a secure, domestic supply chain,” Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia told the DCNF.

President Joe Biden’s mining policies run counter to his efforts to transition the U.S. economy to green technologies while increasing the industry’s dependence on China, industry experts and lawmakers told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Although the White House in 2022 called for “responsible mining” in the U.S. to reduce reliance on Chinese minerals, the administration has taken steps to block major mining projects in ArizonaAlaska and Minnesota, often citing environmental impacts. China currently dominates the supply chain for most minerals necessary for electric vehicles and other green technologies like solar panels, holding a near-monopoly on processing of cobalt, lithium, graphite, manganese and nickel, according to a report by the Institute for Energy Research (IER), an energy think tank.

Despite pressure from a bipartisan group of senators, the U.S. Geological Survey recently declined to name copper a critical mineral — a designation that would prioritize permits for mining projects — a move that Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia said would have significant negative consequences for national security and run counter to the administration’s interests, in a statement to the DCNF.

“I cannot understand why this Administration wants to lock in Chinese dominance of mineral supplies instead of investing in a secure, domestic supply chain,” Manchin — a frequent sparring partner with the administration over climate issues — said. “Copper remains vital to our energy security and economic growth, and the United States cannot remain the superpower of the world without a strong domestic supply chain. … If a mineral isn’t listed until after we are already dependent on foreign suppliers, it will be too late — as illustrated by our current dependence on China for many of the minerals in electric vehicles.”

President Joe Biden’s signature climate law, the Inflation Reduction Act, will support the green manufacturing and energy industries with an estimated $1.2 trillion in government funding — more than three times the government’s initial estimates — and incentivize some $3 trillion in private investments, according to analysts from Goldman Sachs. To support this massive spending spree, the Biden administration has secured deals with more than a half dozen foreign countries to develop a mineral supply chain, a strategy that the National Mining Association — a trade group representing U.S. mining companies — criticized for using “short-term band-aids” while ignoring “long-term, systemic supply chain problems,” in a statement to the DCNF.

“Unfortunately, we are hearing more about U.S. deals to source minerals overseas than we are about mining projects being approved here at home,” NMA spokeswoman Ashley Burke told the DCNF. “America’s growing domestic mineral needs have led us to the highest mineral reliance in our country’s history, yet the administration seems to be doubling down on this glaring and growing vulnerability and placing obstacles in the way of domestic production instead of removing them.”

Dan Kish, a senior fellow at the IER, described the administration as having a “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde approach” to mining, simultaneously pushing to “electrify everything … driving demand up” while making it “harder and harder” to develop minerals in the U.S., in a statement to the DCNF. He estimated that electric vehicles require roughly six times as much critical minerals compared to their traditional gas-powered counterparts, and anticipates that the increased demand amid limited supply would likely push up mineral prices.

“As mineral demand is skyrocketing, the Biden Administration has banned mining in my northern Minnesota district as well as in Alaska and Arizona,” said Republican Rep. Pete Stauber of Minnesota, referencing the administration’s efforts to effectively kill  the Twin Metals mine in the state. “Meanwhile, the Biden Administration is insistent on making America reliant on global supply chains controlled by unfriendly actors and continues to look abroad for minerals which threatens our national security. This Administration signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Congo where child slave labor is used and the Chinese Communist Party controls 15 of 19 major mines. This is immoral and insulting.”

Chinese Communist Party-linked Ganfeng Lithium is the largest shareholder of the Canadian firm Lithium Americas, which received approval by the Trump administration to operate the Thacker Pass mine, the largest known source of lithium in the U.S. and third largest in the world. The company began construction on the Nevada mine in March after its approval was upheld by a federal judge in February, pending a final environmental review by the Biden administration.

In an early May Senate hearing, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland defended the administration’s efforts to block domestic mining projects because it was protecting “valuable” ecological resources and appeared to be on the verge of tears over climate change in late April when defending the administration’s push for green energy. Haaland had previously refused to say whether she believed it was better for the U.S. to produce oil domestically, or import it from foreign sources.

Beyond supply chain concerns, President Biden’s push to transition the nation to primarily use green manufacturing and energy sources is running headlong into real estate concerns, as states hurry to prepare the massive sites necessary to sustain such projects. Despite this, the Environmental Protection Agency in recent months has proposed a series of aggressive emissions standards that will push the electrification of America’s passenger car and trucking fleets and lead to the shutdown of noncompliant coal and gas-fired power plants by 2040.

EPA Administrator Michael Regan at the time praised the administration’s vehicle standards for being “readily achievable” thanks to the president’s “Investing in America agenda” that will “secure America’s global competitiveness.”

The White House did not immediately respond to a DCNF request for comment.

Academic Study Shows That Being A Leftist Drives You Mad, Makes You Crazy

How did they ever get this through? Our nation’s colleges and universities today are radioactive wastelands of far-Left indoctrination. Demonization and defamation of patriots and others who tell truths about issues Leftists cover with lies is common to the point of being routine and taken for granted. A central element of this propaganda is bogus psychoanalysis purporting to show that to stand for freedom and love America is a clear sign of derangement, while believing that men can become women and that socialism is a viable political system are healthy indications of sanity. In that atmosphere, it’s astounding that this academic study was published at all. But it was, and it shows the truth: Leftism is driving people nuts. Literally.

The Left has been weaponizing psychology against patriots for decades. As far back as 1964, a magazine that called itself Fact but was actually unacquainted with anything deserving of the name published a cover story entitled “1,189 Psychiatrists Say Goldwater is Psychologically Unfit To Be President!” Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater sued for libel and won, as none of the psychiatrists involved in the article had ever actually met him; they were all diagnosing him from a distance based on their political proclivities. This new study of the psychology of Leftism, however, is nothing like such political manipulation and hackery; it’s a genuine examination of the effect that Leftism has on a healthy mind.

The New York Post reported Thursday that “Left-wing extremism is linked to toxic, psychopathic tendencies and narcissism, according to a new study published to the peer-reviewed journal Current Psychology.” Anyone on the Right could have told you that after even the most cursory contact with Leftists, but its confirmation in an academic study is a major surprise. The study’s authors state: “Based on existing research, we expected individuals with higher levels of left-wing authoritarianism to also report higher levels of narcissism.” Of course. What else is it but narcissism to think that one is sufficiently knowledgeable and wise to dictate to others how they live, and control their choices so that they do not stray beyond what the Leftist authoritarians consider to be acceptable bounds?

Study authors Ann Krispenz and Alex Bertrams call this Leftist narcissism the “dark-ego-vehicle principle” and explain: “According to this principle, individuals with dark personalities — such as high narcissistic and psychopathic traits — are attracted to certain forms of political and social activism which they can use as a vehicle to satisfy their own ego-focused needs instead of actually aiming at social justice and equality.” What? You mean Leftists aren’t really interested in social justice and equality at all, but simply use such rhetoric to fool the uninformed, while actually pursuing their own “ego-focused needs”? Of course. Any examination of the Soviet Union or any other Marxist state, with its wealthy elites proclaiming themselves the vanguard of the proletariat and living high on the backs of the poor while proclaiming themselves their saviors from economic injustice, makes that abundantly clear.

The study adds that “certain forms of activism might provide them with opportunities for positive self-presentation and displays of moral superiority, to gain social status, to dominate others, and to engage in social conflicts and aggression to satisfy their need for thrill seeking.” Right, that’s an academic way to say that Leftists love to engage in hypocritical virtue-signaling in order to manipulate others.

And the hypocrisy is indeed heavy: “Social justice is often used as a guise for these activists to behave unhinged, the research noted.” What’s more, a Leftist activist “might declare anyone to be ‘old fashioned’ who is opposing their own ‘progressive values,’ strive to suppress free speech to regulate the expression of right-wing beliefs in educational institutions, and even endorse the use of violence to reach their own political goals.” Of course. Because they think they know better, and must impose their superior knowledge upon the racist, redneck, right-wing yahoos who have the temerity to resist their wisdom and prefer their own stupidity.

This study doesn’t tell patriots anything they didn’t know already, but it is remarkable for its singularity, and for the very fact that it exists, and was able to be published in today’s academic environment. It could conceivably even represent a crack in the edifice, and evidence that the kneejerk Leftism that dominates American academia is finally beginning to recede. But for that, we’ll have to see how many years it will be before a similar study is published.

BRUTAL: Biden Regime To Reach a Deal ‘Soon’ To Release Iran’s Frozen Funds As Public Executions Rise

As the mullah’s brutality grows more gruesome and widespread, Biden moves to reward the villiany.

The Biden Administration continues it’s immoral appeasement of Iran. They are apparently close to authorizing a deal that would release billions of dollars of Iran’s frozen assets in Iraq and South Korea. Once received by Iran’s leaders, this money will be used to modernize Iran’s military, fund more terrorism, and dominate it’s people even more. How long before Israel is forced to take military action against Iran’s nuclear facilities? The Biden Administration is a total disgrace.

US And Iran Can Reach A Deal ‘Soon’ On Release Of Frozen Funds

By Iran International, May 27th, 2023

Talks between Iran and the US on the release of Tehran’s frozen assets could result in a deal soon, a source with direct knowledge of the talks told Iran International.
Apparently, the talks that have made progress focused on Iranian funds held in Iraq and South Korea. The money in Iraqi banks could be as much as $10 billion or more by most recent estimates mentioned by Iranian officials. Iraq imports natural gas and electricity from Iran but is barred by US sanctions to make dollar transfers to Tehran.

South Korea holds $7 billion, which it owes for importing Iranian oil prior to full US sanctions imposed in May 2019.

RINO McCarthy Caves On His Debt-Ceiling ‘Deal,’ He Sold Us Out

UPDATE: Hear the House Freedom Caucus blast the $4Trillion debt ceiling deal.

Click here to view the “Finale Debt Ceiling Deal” infographic 


Apparently McCarthy was no match for the corrupt, diaper-wearing, cracked, child-sniffing mental patient.

McCarthy’s debt-ceiling deal with Biden comes up short on his vow to reign in IRS

By Miranda Devine, NY Post, May 28, 2023:

Kevin McCarthy trumpeted a debt-ceiling deal Sunday, but increasing debt another $4 trillion with minimal concessions is nothing to boast about.

To be fair, the House speaker has a razor slim majority and Republicans don’t control the Senate, where Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and his sidekick Lindsey Graham have announced that the only thing they care about is Ukraine.

But McCarthy’s one deal breaker should have been his promise to defund President Biden’s massive $80 billion to turbocharge an already weaponized IRS.

This was the totemic centerpiece of his pitch to become speaker.

It was the most memorable promise of the Republicans’ midterm campaign to win back the House.

It struck a chord with voters, wary of funding a new “army” of armed IRS agents to harass middle-class families and small business owners and abuse their powers to target political dissidents, Soviet-style.

“Our very first bill will repeal the funding for 87,000 new IRS agents,” McCarthy vowed.

“You see, we believe government should be to help you, not go after you.”

Sure enough, the House voted 221-210 to repeal the extra IRS funding.

“Promises made,” the newly minted speaker said Jan. 9, banging the gavel on the first bill of the Republican-controlled House.

What about promises kept?

In the debt-ceiling deal outlined Sunday and due to be inked later this week, McCarthy has allowed the lion’s share of that extra IRS funding to remain unmolested: preserving $78.1 billion of the $80 billion.

Overpromising and underdelivering is what turns voters off the GOP.

You don’t mount a powerful six-month fear campaign about 87,000 new, armed IRS agents ready to break down people’s doors, and then meekly capitulate at the first sign of resistance.

Even if those fears were exaggerated, your credibility rests on delivering a lot more than 2% of what you promised.

In any case the fears about a weaponized IRS targeting Biden’s opponents are very real.

If anything, the IRS is worse today than it was during the Obama administration, when Lois Lerner presided over the targeted harassment of Tea Party groups and other conservatives.

Not a single IRS employee was held accountable for the scandal. Lerner retired on a full pension without even a slap on the wrist.

This is the same IRS which went after journalist Matt Taibbi last December, three weeks after he started reporting on the so-called “Twitter Files,” which revealed that censorship on the social-media platform had been coordinated by federal government agencies such as the FBI and CIA.

California school district refuses to revise pro-jihad, anti-Israel curriculum endorsed by Hamas-linked CAIR

And as these tools endorse genocidal jihad violence, they actually think they’re righteous.

Superintendent Says District Has ‘No Intention’ To Remove Any ‘Narrative’ From Anti-Israel Curriculum

by Kate Anderson, Daily Caller News Foundation, May 24, 2023:

Santa Ana Unified School District (SAUSD) Superintendent Jerry Almendarez said Tuesday that the board would not be removing any “narrative” from its new ethnic studies curriculum, despite complaints of its anti-Israel rhetoric.

SAUSD approved two courses, “Ethnic Studies: World Geography” and “Ethnic Studies World Histories” in April, which have been criticized for promoting the idea that Israel is a “colonial empire” and guilty of the “ethnic cleansing” of Palestinians. The SAUSD board held a regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday, and after giving out several end-of-the-year awards to faculty and students, Almendarez addressed concerns about the recently passed ethnic studies curriculum, according to recordings of the meeting on the district’s YouTube account.

“First I want to address some comments and concerns regarding our newly adopted ethnic studies curriculum,” Armendarez said. “We recognize as a district that this complex content requires careful consideration and should be viewed through multiple perspectives. Comments have been shared with the district that we are looking to eliminate certain perspectives and narratives from our curriculum. I want the public to know that the district has no intentions of removing any narrative from the curriculum that will be developed in the future. Our intent is to listen to all sides, to learn from all sides, and to approach this in a balanced manner.”

Several public commenters thanked the board for sticking with the curriculum, with one saying that it was “historically accurate and morally correct.” Another commenter identified himself as a Ph.D. student at the University of California Davis, saying that Palestinians were “forced into exile” by Israel while accusing the board of being too “cowardly” to stand up to the Zionist movement if they decided to back down from the curriculum.

Prior to the meeting, several groups, including the Council for American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), urged district members to show up and voice support for the curriculum. CAIR’s Los Angeles chapter put out a press release on May 19, arguing that Israel’s “ethnic cleansing” of Palestinians is a “factual description” of the Jewish state’s handling of the situation in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

PYM argued in an Instagram post on Tuesday that…“The Santa Ana Unified School District has come under pressure from Zionists to remove its comprehensive Palestinian history section from its Ethnic Studies program,” the group wrote in the post’s caption.”We are asking community members to raise the call against this clear attempt to remove both Palestine and Ethnic Studies more broadly from our school curriculums.

The ethnic studies would have students read articles and watch videos describing Israel as an apartheid state, while claiming that the Jews have committed “war crimes” against Palestinians, according to the curriculum. Students would be asked questions such as how “the settlement of Israelis after WWII changed … the sovereignty of Palestinians over time” and how the Israeli “blockade” of Gaza “affect[s] the livelihoods of the Palestinians in that region?”…

Trained Marxist Cullors Dumped from Warner Bros TV Deal After Producing No BLM Content

Patrisse Cullors, co-founder of the Black Lives Matter domestic terror movement, no longer has a TV production deal with Warner Bros. after the studio allowed the agreement to expire with nothing to show for it, according to Breitbart News.

The production deal was signed in 2020 amid the BLM riots that laid waste to many U.S. cities and resulted in as much as $2 billion in destruction nationally. The deal was expected to produce both scripted and non-scripted content, focusing on reparations and other forms of “social justice.” But in the end, Cullors was apparently too busy maintaining her multiple homes to get around to creating racist propaganda.

“The studio signed an overall deal with BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors at some point in 2020. Deal expired at end of October 2022,” a source told the New York Post. “The deal unfortunately did not result in any produced shows.”

Self-described “trained Marxist” Cullors resigned from BLM in 2021 over allegations she was spending foundation money for her own personal use. BLM now appears to be heading toward bankruptcy with an $8.5 million budgetary deficit.

Bankruptcy? Maybe all those woke corporate elites should question where their hundreds of millions of dollars in donations went.

The COS Brouhaha

In case you missed it, there is a rather large and dedicated group of people in the US who so despise our Constitution that they are trying diligently to “change” it by means of a “Convention of States” (COS) that would allow the US Congress to select a number of delegates to attend a new Constitutional Convention for that purpose. They say this Convention is needed to add much needed amendments to the current constitution. But, wait a minute, don’t we already have a number of amendments which were added to the Constitution using the normal procedure in the US Congress following the process written into the current Constitution?

And, by change, what does this large and dedicated group mean? Well, they say there is a need for a “balanced budget” amendment which would force the Congress to run the US government like a successful business, you know, where revenues and expenditures sort of end up, like, equal, maybe even a little surplus for a rainy day? Like as in, you do not incur more debt than you can possibly repay when running a business? My, what a novel concept. Why didn’t someone think of that a few hundred years ago?

They also say there is a need for a “term limit” amendment which would force all the senators and congress people to actually go out and get, like, you know, regular jobs after they finish service to their fellow citizens, spending years writing useless laws and other such neat stuff, or actually ‘retire’ like many ‘regular’ people do when they have accumulated just enough money to retire and live in abject poverty.

But wait, all the senators and congress people who have served even one term usually end up with so much ‘accumulated money’ they do not NEED to live in abject poverty. They, of course, will oppose the much touted term limits because they want to remain in Congress for 40-50 years so they can accumulate enough money to buy their own country and do their part to control the world.

I have a suggestion: Cut all the  535 congressional representatives salaries by at least 75%. You would not need a term limit to get them out of office, they would trample each other trying to squeeze through the exit doors.

The Big Brouhaha

The back and forth word-war over the COS has occupied the minds of many normal critical-thinking Americans who see the move as a means to eliminate our current Constitution or replace it with one of several that are already “pre-written” and waiting for the Congressional roll call vote on its adoption.

Those who oppose the COS obviously see the move as a hostile takeover of the nation, eventually turning it over to an even worse “large and dedicated group” of people who envision communism as our “New World Order” with the majority of us “owning nothing and being happy”. Yeah, good luck with that one.

I have been trying to follow the many nuances of the arguments for and against the COS, and will admit I am somewhat confused about the whole thing.

The much-touted need for a “balanced budget” amendment sounds sort of like an oxymoron. The very idea of a budget is a series of calculations estimating revenues versus expenses so that a “balance” can be struck between the two. The very idea that the US Congress needs the term written into the Constitution is like a business owner needing a document instructing him or her that, in order to run a successful business, revenues and expenses “should” match, at least somewhat. If anyone who starts a business actually needs such a document, he or she has ABSOLUTELY no business starting a business. You would think that all those pointy-toed shoe-wearing lawyers who occupy nearly all the 535 seats in the US Congress would know and understand such a basic concept of a successful business.

I would bet that all those 535 lawyers do NOT run their ‘household budgets’ the way they run the United States government, so what is the difference? Oh yeah, the money they so freely throw around the world is not THEIR money, so they do not feel the pain of being $32 trillion in debt. Hey, their $174,000 salaries are not endangered by their excessive and uncontrolled spending. Kinda makes you think, if they can maintain a balanced household budget, they should be able to use the same common sense running the US budget, eh?

Now if there was a ‘large and dedicated group’ of Americans who would pump ‘em up and actually demand that the elected (really?) congressional representatives do what they are (over)paid to do, which is follow the Constitution to the letter and run the US government as though it was a money-making enterprise, there would be no need to even consider another amendment to it and there would especially be NO need to replace it.

The Perfect Law

The US Constitution is called “The Law of the Land”, and was the foundation of ultimate liberty for many years in America. For much of the past two hundred years, many nations and their peoples have marveled at our Constitution and desired to have it as a model to establish their own foundation of liberty in their nations.

“But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed” (James 1:25). James said that God’s word is the “Perfect Law of Liberty” and that sounds a great deal like our beloved Constitution; however, the key to that verse in James having any value for us is in the command to “look into” it and continue to look therein and then become a doer of it and not just a hearer. That entails a diligent study of the information “being looked into”.

But how many Americans, especially those of the newer generations, even know what our Constitution says, and understand what it means to them and their liberty?

The hullabaloo over the COS may be much ado about nothing, and should be totally unnecessary. True, The COS, if initiated, would allow certain groups of people to determine the validity of the current US Constitution and decide whether to add certain amendments to the current one or replace it with an entirely new one.

In either case, the result  of a COS, if initiated, would likely be seen as a ‘confirmation’ to the large and dedicated group of people that their current handling (think totally disregarding) of the Constitution, justifies their current behavior (acting as though it did not exist). Such ‘confirmation’ would never be needed if those who were supposed to represent their constituents would simply adhere to the tenets of the current Constitution, you know, the one they swore to ‘uphold and defend’, so help them God?

But wait, isn’t that what, from their standpoint, it’s all about, getting that confirmation ‘from the people’ of the validity of their actions? I seriously doubt that, since they have not actually cared what the common folk of this nation have thought for many decades. If they did, they would hang their heads in shame and repent for breaking their ‘uphold and defend’ oaths, year after year after year, term after term after term.

We still have the original Constitution in place and of  course, our government and all its bloated bureaucracies pay close attention to it and adhere to it completely, right? Hah! Our government leaders have acted for years as though the Constitution never existed, even though it was covered, under glass, in the National Archives and protected from ambient air, excess humidity, direct light and anything else that might “degrade its physical condition”. Our current crop of politicians behave as though the Constitution is a mere annoyance, something they would like to see done away with.

The only protection our Constitution lacked was from the threat posed by evil, greedy and lawless people who never cared one whit for the document that was written to tell the world what this new nation of individual states truly was.

What we currently have is a bunch of politicians whose sole purpose for “being in politics’ is the monetary gain they can realize by conducting our government as though the Constitution never existed. Unless the Constitution exists in  the hearts and minds of the majority of “true Americans”, it matters not whether it still hides in the national Archives.

Power of the Constitution

The document itself has absolutely NO power to dictate how the government is run, how politicians conduct the business of our nation, nor the moral behavior of our citizens. That power still resides with those for whom the Constitution was written, the ones who now suffer from the Unconstitutional decisions being constantly made in Congress and the actions of the ones demanding it be changed or discarded.

But one thing is clear, and is likely believed, albeit secretly, by almost everyone in this country, and that is: JUSTICE MATTERS. No, it even goes far beyond that; without justice, there can be no civilization, no peace, and not much of a future.

Kathleen Marquardt, in her recent article  titled, “A German Tells It Like It Is, Listen!”, quotes Hans-Jurgen Geese, the author of a brilliant message, which clearly presents undeniable ‘simple truths that have been known for hundreds of years’. Geese said: “Freedom and ignorance are incompatible. Therefore, our schools and universities are becoming idiotic institutions. There cannot be a liberal constitution with immoral people. If justice is lost, then nothing in the Constitution matters. Then all is lost. Even human rights are no longer worth anything”. 

That last sentence echoes these words, penned more than two hundred years ago by the second President of the United States, John Adams: Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

At this moment, we are at a critical place in the history of the United States of America, where the Department of Justice (DOJ), led by the highest-ranking law enforcement officer in the US, Attorney General Merrick Garland, chooses to allow the federal agencies under his direction to weaponize their agencies and agents in order to punish anyone they deem to have violated “their rules”, regardless of whether the US Constitution supports their weaponized actions. This begs the question whether anyone in the DOJ, or any of the weaponized agencies under the umbrella of the DOJ, has actually read the Constitution, or having read it simply decided it is no longer relevant, and so they ignore it.

The drivel that emanates from the US DOJ is thinly veiled political warfare, conducted by those in the power seats against those with NO seat and NO power. The morality of the people for whom our Constitution was written now seems to have taken a very long vacation; and when morality leaves, justice soon follows. At this moment, real justice seems to have taken a long holiday, possibly a permanent one.

No Constitution Without Justice

At this point in time, there is NO system of justice operating effectively for the people in the United States.

Will true justice ever return to, or reside in, the United States of America? It appears doubtful.

Until it does, it matters little whether the Constitution is amended or terminated by those large and dedicated groups who so feverishly desire it. After all, why SHOULD it matter? Nearly all the 535 Congress people do not adhere to it as the “Law of the Land” anyway.

With the current political and cultural chaos in the US, the current status of the Constitution is simply that of an old piece of paper or parchment carefully stored in the National Archives. Beyond that, and until there is justice for all in the United States, it has little power or authority.

Conclusion

As Hans-Jurgen Geese so eloquently stated: “If justice is lost, then nothing in the Constitution matters. Then all is lost. Even human rights are no longer worth anything”.

I certainly do not wish to denigrate the valiant efforts of all those who oppose a COS, I admire their tenacity and longing for justice and a strict adherence to the Constitution and wish them great success, but until we truly see a renewal of, and return to, Godly morality among the citizenry that forces a semblance of adherence to the Law of the land on the part of all those who we supposedly elected to their offices, I have serious doubts that anything positive will result. The words of Hans-Jurgen Geese resonate in my ears and my spirit: “If justice is lost, then nothing in the Constitution matters.

We can only pray that reason and common sense eventually prevail over the political madness now so prevalent in our nation. If God deems to hear our prayers and answer them in our favor, we may still have a country with a Constitution that means something.

America Has Gone From The Home of the Brave to the Land of the Terrified

“This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.” — Elmer Holmes Davis, American news reporter, author, the Director of the United States Office of War Information during World War II and Peabody Award recipient.


Where are the brave men and women today? Where have they gone? What has become of them who would lay down their lives to save a friend?

Where are the patriots, like those who fought and died to write the Bill of Rights, Constitution, and create the United States of America?

To understand let’s look at three quotes by American military officers.

The first is from the Commander of the 7th U.S. Army during WWII General George S. Patton, Jr., who wrote, “Though I may walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for I am the meanest mother****er in the valley.”

The second is from retired United States Marine Corps four-star general who served as the 26th US secretary of defense from 2017 to 2019 James Mattis, who said, “I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes, If you f**k with me I’ll kill you all.”

The last is from Admiral in the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps Rachel L. Levine who said in an interview with the Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine, “I have no regrets because if I had transitioned when I was young then I wouldn’t have my children. I can’t imagine a life without my children.”

Lavine is leading the government’s efforts to “affirm, support and empower youth … to get gender-affirming treatment in their states.”

Our military has devolved over time from a war fighting force into a force for diversity, equity and inclusion. Gender transition has replace military transition.

Instead of knowing our enemies we are now teaching our soldiers to know their personal pronouns.

Our ranks have been depleted because our military is more concerned about being woke than fighting the next war.

Because of this fundamental transformation of our military America is at great risk.

The U.S. Military Depends on Virtues that are Fading

In a Public Discourse article Theodore Camp wrote,

Contemporary recruitment messaging is troubling. America’s military must draw on cultural reservoirs that prize self-sacrifice and the honour due to country. After all, The Oath of Enlistment speaks of bearing faith and allegiance, recognizes a higher power, and insists on selfless service to the Constitution against her enemies. All recruitment efforts must ultimately attempt to persuade young Americans to take this oath at possible risk of life and limb, and the near-certain prospect of fear, physical strain, boredom, and homesickness.

Today the recruitment messaging talks about “many morally equivalent paths for self-fulfillment.” It causes military leaders to worry more about diversity than discipline.

On June 23rd, 2021 Market Watch’s Mike Murphy wrote:

Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had a blistering response Wednesday to criticism by Republican lawmakers that the military’s efforts to reduce racism have made it too “woke.”

Testifying alongside Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin at a House Armed Services Committee hearing, Milley was challenged by Florida Republican Reps. Michael Waltz and Matt Gaetz, who asked about reports that the U.S. Military Academy at West Point taught critical race theory along with a seminar on “white rage.”

Milley said studying uncomfortable subjects is vital to understanding the country, and that good leaders should understand a range of views.

Read more.

General Milley stated, “I want to understand white rage, and I’m white. … What is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America? … I want to find that out.”

Watch this U.S. Army YouTube ad titled, “Emma: The Calling”:

Now watch MHS Productions’ video titled “The Land of the Free, Home of The Brave”:

Camp warns, “Recruiters rely on Americans who believe in the moral pre-eminence of the United States and its constitutional principles. Our institutions—especially schools—must instill and embrace these truths: America’s national security cannot wait.”

Today from the school house to the White House the message to young Americans of military age is that America is racist, whites are supremacists and you can choose your personal gender pronoun. God has left the classroom and been replaced with idols like George Floyd a convicted felon and drug addict.

Military bases are being renamed so as to destroy our knowledge of the past in order to create a new soldier, a solider who fully embraces diversity, inclusion and equity or DIE.

By doing so our soldiers will surly DIE in great numbers on the battlefields of the future.

We are by design creating soldiers like Emma who are morally equivalent or worse morally dead.

America has gone from the Home of the Brave to the Land of the Terrified.

God save America!
