TRUMP EFFECT: From ‘HAMAS IS COMING’ to Old Glory, The Trump Transformation of Washington, D.C.

/in , , , , , , , , /by

Two photos. Same monument.

Never in my 13 years living in DC have I seen this fountain on.

Honestly, I don’t think many Washingtonians thought it would ever come back, especially after last year’s protests.

It’s more beautiful than I expected.

This is Columbus Circle.

Under Biden:

  • “HAMAS IS COMING” spray painted
  • Violent mobs climbing the statue
  • Foreign flags

Under Trump:

  • Sparkling clean
  • Water flowing in the fountain
  • American flags
  • Soldiers on guard

Two photos. Same monument.

WATCH: Washington, D.C. before vs after Trump’s restorations

One election made all the difference.

Thank you, President Trump.

And this is across the nation:

Meridian Hill Park before vs. after.

For years, homeless camps and drug addicts took over the park.

Now it’s cleaned up and full of families again, thanks to President Trump’s executive order to make the capital safe and beautiful again

Water is flowing again at Washington, D.C.’s historic fountains, bringing these public spaces back to life ahead of America’s 250th.

This work supports President Trump’s efforts to keep the Nation’s Capital safe, beautiful and ready to welcome millions during the historic celebration.

Hidden Religion in Washington. D.C.

/in , , , , , /by

In 1938, Congress passed the Fair Labor Standards Act, which restricted child labor. Congress believed that children possessed an intrinsic value above monetary quantification. In 1964, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act, which forbade discrimination on the grounds of race, color, or national origin. Congress believed that all human beings were created equal and therefore due equal treatment under the law.

In 1990, Congress passed the Americans with Disabilities Act, which forbade discrimination against those with disabilities. Congress believed that physical abilities, or lack of them, do not constitute the essence of a person. His essence, by extension, comes from some other source, and the government is not it.

Religion, we often hear, should have no bearing on politics: the wall between church and state shall not be breached. Yet these three laws, to which we could add others, flow directly from a central Christian belief: that the human person is created by God. By fashioning all men and women in His image and likeness, God has endowed human beings with an innate dignity that no other person or entity may violate.

We take it for granted today that the government’s functions include protecting citizens’ rights, many of which, including those protected in these three laws, are pre-political, that is, they are part of persons’ nature, not grants of government privilege. We fail to realize that many of these rights are political expressions of the prior Christian belief that all persons are equal because they are all children of the one Father in Heaven. As a result, one person or group cannot be greater than any other, nor exploit any other.

“Political problems,” wrote Russell Kirk, “at bottom, are religious and moral problems.” In other words, our beliefs and morals shape our politics, not the other way around. Beneath every hotly contested political topic of today or yesteryear – immigration, tariffs, welfare, health care, DEI, the Cold War, supply-side economic theory, segregation, slavery, westward expansion, independence from Britain – lie beliefs that shape the approach and policy. There is no such thing as a “neutral” politics devoid of prior beliefs and principles.

Sometimes these beliefs are tenets of Christianity, such as the inherent dignity of the person, which has given rise to the push for legal equality. I doubt that vociferous secularists who decry any odor of religion in public life would reject equality because it is “tainted” by religion.

Other beliefs are philosophical, such as certain economic and geopolitical theories. And sometimes beliefs come from a distinctly modern kind of religion that eschews traditional forms such as churches or hierarchies. These beliefs stem from ideologies, systems of ideas abstracted from various theories and harmonized into programs to direct a nation (or the world itself) toward preconceived ends. Like revealed religion, ideologies have dogmas and exist to save human beings from the sins of the world.

Just as Christian beliefs lie hidden in Washington, modern ideologies lie hidden there, too. Expressive individualism, the belief that the individual and his sexual freedom are the most important considerations of society, drives abortion and family law. Gender ideology, the belief that gender is a construct of the mind divorced from nature, drives school curricula, medical laws, and cultural practices from library collections to the bizarre “drag queen story hour.” Diversity, equity, and inclusion, the belief that every sector of life must have proportional representation of society’s ethnic makeup, drives Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which governs employment practices across the country.

Washington, in fact, is filled with religious beliefs – we need only look more closely to find them. Given how much fighting we do over politics and policies, Americans have a two-tiered view of religion. When religion pertains to supernatural beliefs, they are relativists holding that all religions are created equal, varying paths to the same goal. But when religion impacts daily life or politics, they defend them absolutely. The Culture Wars, in essence, are wars over how religion – whether revealed or ideological – impacts society at large.

This perspective recasts ongoing battles over religious liberty. The Constitution prohibits the establishment of a state-sponsored religion. It does not, and cannot, prohibit public expressions of religious beliefs, for they are ubiquitous, of varied sources, and fundamental to human reasoning. Doing so not only discriminates against certain religious beliefs which are somehow deemed inferior to other beliefs. It prevents politics and policy from freely taking place as well.

Yet preventing Christian beliefs from public manifestation was, beginning in the 1960s, the goal of the Supreme Court, which deliberately conflated expression of beliefs with state-sponsored religion. In its view, acknowledging God’s existence and sovereignty could no longer be considered an act of reason. Rather, it confined this acknowledgment within the province of revealed religion alone.

The Roberts court has gingerly moved to correct this misinterpretation, but it has been hesitant to address the broader issue: in the public arena, religious beliefs are as valid as any other belief, whether they come from revealed or ideological sources. In May, it missed an opportunity to do so in St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School v. Drummond, which upheld a lower court ruling that Oklahoma cannot fund a sectarian charter school.

Revealed religion has to have the same rights as the hidden, ideological religions in Washington. Given the many goods Christian-based laws have generated in this country, our nation would be wise to again recognize Christianity as legitimate — and poignant — source of public action.

WASHINGTON, D.C.: Keffiyeh-wearing gunman screaming ‘Free Palestine’ murders Israeli diplomat and companion outside Jewish Museum

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

What did the leftists and jihadis who ratcheted up the anti-Israel hysteria to unprecedented levels think would be the outcome? This. This is exactly what they wanted to happen, and there will be more of it.

“Report: Shooter of Embassy Workers in Washington Wore Keffiyeh, Shouted ‘Free Palestine,’” Ynet News, May 21, 2025:

The news site ‘Jewish Insider’ reported that the shooter who attacked two embassy employees outside the Jewish museum in Washington was wearing a keffiyeh and shouted ‘Free Palestine’ before striking them.

“Israeli embassy staff among two killed in shooting outside Jewish Museum in Washington,” by Sarah Moskowitz, Jerusalem Post, May 22, 2025:

A man and a woman were shot and killed in front of the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington on Wednesday night, NBC News reported. At least one of those killed was a staff member at the Israeli embassy.

Two Israeli embassy staff were shot at close range, Axios reporter Barak Ravid said on X, citing an Israeli embassy spokesperson.

The shooting occurred in front of the museum where an event was being held by the American Jewish Committee.

The FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force is currently investigating the incident, ABC News reported.

At least one of the people shot is believed to be a member of the Israeli embassy staff, according to reports from US media.

Law enforcement sources said that police are questioning a person of interest.

ABC added that US Attorney General Pam Bondi and Interim US Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro arrived at the scene shortly after the shooting took place.

“Praying for the victims of this violence as we work to learn more,” Bondi shared on X/Twitter.

‘Act of antisemitic terror’
Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon reacted to the incident on X, calling it an “act of antisemitic terror.”

“Harming diplomats and the Jewish community is crossing a red line….

D.C. Mayor Hid ‘In-Kind Donation’ from Islamic Terror State

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Qatar paid more than $61,000 for Mayor Bowser’s trip to Doha.

During the pandemic, we already found out that D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser likes the nightlife, but her travel took her to an Islamic terror state as part of an ‘in-kind donation’.

7News has discovered that the nation of Qatar paid $61,930 for Mayor Bowser and four staff members to fly to the Middle East in 2023.

But not before Bowser tried covering it up.

As far as 7News has been able to discover during our ongoing investigation, Mayor Bowser doesn’t turn in any travel expense records at all.

First, Susana Castillo, the Mayor’s Director of Communications, told 7News in a July 9, 2024, email that the trip was paid for by the D.C. Chamber of Commerce.

That wasn’t true. Neither was this.

Days later, Castillo told 7News over the phone that the U.S. Conference of Mayors picked up the tab. The Conference of Mayors had no comment and told us to talk to the mayor’s office.

And then it gets worse.

Then comes a letter, 7News obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request dated March of this year from the nation of Qatar to the mayor’s office.

It shows the nation of Qatar paid more than $61,000 for Mayor Bowser’s trip to Doha in 2023, which included travel expenses for four staff members.

Qatar called it an “in-kind donation”.

Followed by yet another retroactive cover-up.

Now comes this letter, from February, sent to officials in Qatar amid our investigation. In the letter, the mayor’s office asks for a breakdown of the mayor’s 2023 trip expenses and the total tab covered by the Middle Eastern country.

Bowser’s office explains that such “donations” must be properly recorded, and a donation agreement will have to be executed.

7News would like to know why the mayor’s office is asking to create a Donation Agreement in 2025 for a trip she took in 2023. A situation that directly violates Mayor Bowser’s memorandum on rules of conduct governing donations requires that each donation be submitted and approved by the Office of Partnerships and Grant Services before the city can enter into a Donation Agreement.

All of this is being done with Qatar, an Islamic terrorist state, the state sponsor of Hamas, with ties to other Islamic terrorist groups, and which harbored the 9/11 mastermind.

Qatar has been buying influence in the United States and clearly Mayor Bowser was happy to go along.

Preeminent historian and great American think Victor Davis Hanson on Trump’s counterrevolution.

Please share widely.

Victor Davis Hanson: Trump’s Counterrevolution in Washington, D.C.

Victor Davis Hanson discusses the misleading information about the first 30 days of the Trump administration’s actions, comparing it to FDR’s first hundred days. On this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,”

Hanson describes the current period as a “Trump restoration” rather than a revolution, emphasizing it as a counterrevolution against the changes brought by the Obama administration. “ We don’t really appreciate what we’ve been through with eight years of the Obama revolution and the four-year, more radical third term of Obama using or employing the wax effigy of Joe Biden. A revolution that we’ve experienced was a cultural, economic, political, social revolution.

It was very similar to the French Revolution under the Robespierre brothers. You should remember what they tried to do. They changed the days of the week. They renamed things. They tore down statues. They went after the churches. Does this sound familiar? … “ So this was a revolutionary movement. Movies were different. Sports were different. Take a knee.

And Donald Trump came in and it was not sufficient to say we’re going to stop the madness of $37 billion. …  It’s a return to normalcy. It’s a return to common sense.

It only looks revolutionary to revolutionaries. But to the rest of the people, it is a counterrevolution to restore normalcy and bring the country from the far-left fringes back home again.”

The Double Standard: Laws ignored for pro-Hamas rioters who attacked Capitol police in D.C.

Total double standard.

Charges Dropped Against D.C. Rioters Who Assaulted Cops & Vandalized Property

Brittany M. Hughes | July 26, 2024

Turns out what’s good for the goose isn’t good for the gander, especially when it comes to criminal penalties for people who assault cops.

Charges have allegedly already been dropped against four individuals who were arrested for physically attacking Capitol police officers during the protests-turned-riots on Wednesday, where pro-Palestine aggressors gathered to throw a fit over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Congress.

The four people – which reportedly included a 15-year-old – who were arrested for assaulting cops were among 23 total people arrested during the demonstrations for charges ranging from crossing police lines and disorderly conduct to assault and theft. At least seven people – arrested for things like assault on a police officer, attempted assault with a deadly weapon, making threats, and attempted second-degree theft – were released pending a court hearing scheduled for August, according to the Washington Examiner.

Julio Rosas, a journalist with The Blaze, reported on Thursday that police confirmed four of those arrested for assaulting police officers, including the teen, have had their charges dropped.

In addition to attacking police officers, pro-Hamas rioters also sprayed graffiti on several monuments and vandalized public property, including the Christopher Columbus statue and fountain near Union Station. Messages scrawled across walls in paint included the phrase “Hamas is coming.” The National Park Services estimated it will take days to clean up the mess – at taxpayer expense, of course. Protesters also burned American flags, ripping at least one from its pole and replacing it with a Palestinian flag.

The Daily Caller reports: – Anti-Israel protestors surrounding a burning American flag at the National Mall

The madness has returned in full force. Anti-Israel protestors have flooded the streets of Washington DC with the arrival of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and the scene is absolute chaos.

Vandalism. Clashes with police. Burning flags.

Anti-Israel Protesters Burn American Flag, as Prime Minister Netanyahu Addresses Congress

The NY SUN:
The ugliest protest took place at Union Station, just blocks from the United States Senate. Hundreds of protesters clashed with police as they tore down an American flag that was hanging on a pole high above the ground. They replaced that flag with a Palestinian flag and burned the American one that had been torn down. The same group then burned Mr. Netanyahu in effigy.

A video of the event posted online shows anti-Israel demonstrators chanting, “Burn that sh–! Burn that sh–!” as one lit a flame and poured what looked like lighter fluid on the flag.

Speaking to the joint session for an historic fourth time, Mr. Netanyahu took to the podium in the House chamber to raucous applause from the Republican side and a more muted, polite clapping from Democrats. Some members on the left side of the aisle sat and remained stone-faced as he made his way through the chamber. The prime minister, as he passed Senator Schumer — who has called for his ouster — gave little recognition to the majority leader, offering only a head nod.

https://x.com/atensnut/status/1816174982759641550

Inside, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib — the first and only Palestinian-American to serve in Congress — held up a sign that caught the attention of her colleagues and the press. On one side, it read, “War Criminal,” while the other side said, “Guilty of Genocide.”

One of her Democratic colleagues, Congressman Jake Auchincloss, moved away from her once she unveiled the sign. A Republican, Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, then went over to talk to her and told reporters after the address that it was “cordial.” Ms. Tlaib later concealed the sign.

Many Democrats boycotted the speech altogether, which likely contributed to the calmer atmosphere in the House. Congressman Jamaal Bowman, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Congresswoman Cori Bush — all members of the so-called “Squad” — did not attend the speech. Speaker Pelosi spent the day meeting with the families of hostages still being held at Gaza more than nine months after the October 7 attacks by Hamas terrorists.

In the gallery, several individuals were arrested after they stood up wearing yellow shirts with messages that read, “Seal the Deal Now.” They were removed from the gallery in a matter of minutes.

While Ms. Tlaib was the only House member to openly defy Mr. Netanyahu during his address, thousands gathered outside of the Capitol building to protest the premier’s presence in the chamber.

Less than a mile from the Capitol on Constitution Avenue, a stage was erected by anti-Israel protesters to decry not only Mr. Netanyahu’s presence, but the actions of Congress and the Biden administration supporting him. “We demand liberation! End the Zionist occupation!” one speaker chanted. Another group of protesters walked around with a large puppet resembling Mr. Netanyahu with devil horns and covered in blood.

Earlier in the day, protesters were seen marching up Independence Avenue chanting, “Long live the intifada,” “There is only one solution: intifada, revolution,” and “Globalize the intifada!”

Protesters were seen trying to break through a barricade that had been set up by the Metropolitan Police Department, which led officers to deploy tear gas and pepper spray on the crowd. One protester — who was referring to the Israel Defense Forces as the “Israeli Occupation Force” — could be heard chanting: “IOF, KKK, MPD, They’re all the same!”

One woman, whose face was shielded by a keffiyeh during the protests, is already going viral for carrying a Hamas flag around the demonstrations.

A Guide to the Useless Idiots in Washington, D.C.

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

“The only population Communism has ever successfully fed is the shark population swimming the Florida Straits.” ― A.E. Samaan

Useful idiot: Derogatory term for a person perceived to propagandize for a cause without fully comprehending the cause’s goals.

Since January 20th, 2021 Washington, D.C. has been fundamentally transformed from a government of, by and for the people into a den of those who wish to change our Constitution Republic into a democracy.

A Democracy is where the few rule over the many with an iron fist and a boot on their faces.

After the Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin’s response to Elizabeth Willing Powel’s question, “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” responded with, “A Republic if you can keep it.”

QUESTION: Can we keep our Republic?

Many today see our Republic drifting into oblivion and being replaced by a democratic socialist monarchy. This new “monarchy” is being created by the useless idiots from the schoolhouse to the White House.

The epicenter of this monarchy lives and works in our nation’s capital with the goal to take away our life, liberties and freedom.

Perhaps it is time to name some of these useless idiots in Washington, D.C.?

Therefore we have provided, below, a “Guide to Washington, D.C.’s Useless Idiots.”

Here’s our list of Useless Idiots in the nation’s capital:

  1. The Uni-Party. The Desert News’ Gitanjali Poonia wrote, “This term “uniparty” originally surfaced in a 1944 editorial in a Pennsylvania newspaper in reaction to fabricated news that Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Republican rival in the 1940 election was handpicked by his adviser Harry Hopkins, according to Politico Magazine. In the modern day, it’s used by some members in the Republican Conference to imply Democrats and Republicans are working together and against the interests of the American people.”
  2. Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. As American voters watched the Presidential Debate between President Donald J. Trump and Biden it was clear who was more articulate, on message and aware of the issues facing Americans from the economy to national security. The consensus is, after the debate, that Biden is mentally incapable of a second term. To make things worse, Biden read from a teleprompter for 5 minutes, and then took no questions in his first major Post-Debate appearance (watch the Biden presser video). Add to this the fact that Biden donors ‘freaked out’ by his reliance on teleprompters at private fundraisers and that the first Congressional Democrat now has publicly called on Biden to drop out of the Presidential Race!
  3. The Red-Green-Rainbow Alliance. As I pointed out in 2016 these three groups are incompatible for a number of key reasons including: 1. Communists hate all religions as the opiate of the people, including Islam, but align themselves with the Islamists hoping that, at some point, they, the Communists, will come to power and then cancel their former ally. 2. Muslims hate Communists and execute gays (sodomites) but are willing in the short term to align with both until they can gain the upper hand. As in Iran when the Shaw was dethroned by Islamists and Communists, one the Islamists took control of the Iranian government, under Ayatollah Khomeni and the Mullahs. They imprisoned, purged and murdered the Communists. 3. Gays hate all religions, but make an exception for Islam i.e. the enemy of my enemy is my friend. What the gays are not foreseeing that when the Muslims take control of the culture they begin executing gays (e.g. Afghanistan, ISIS, Iran). BTW, I added eco-terrorists to the greens. They have now joined with the pro-Hamas crowd of useless idiots to attach Jews and Israel.
  4. The Traitors Party. Today we have only two parties in America, The Patriots Party and the Traitors Party. Both traitors and patriots have very strong beliefs. Beliefs that they will fight to preserve and protect. For traitors it boils down to what they have been fed in our public schools, colleges and universities. These religions are myths perpetrated to do one thing and one thing only, empower one group over another. Wither it is race/racist based, gender based, climate based or simply a political system derived from the teachings of Marx, Trotsky and Lenin, it becomes their religion. For patriots their religion is the three “Fs”. Faith in God, the traditional Family and Freedom from oppression. Today’s patriots have the same ideals as did the Founding Fathers. Patriots hold on to their God and His Truth. For the truth has set them free. Today, people of faith are being spied upon in America. People of faith are being imprisoned in American jails in our nations capital. Parents have been designated as “domestic terrorists” for standing up against those who want to groom our children to become the playthings of the tyrants, physically, emotionally and culturally.
  5. The Deep State. Former Congressman Jason Lewis wrote, “The ‘deep state’ is far deeper than anyone imagined. President Dwight Eisenhower’s ‘military industrial complex’ farewell address wasn’t just about the massive power of the defense lobby and its political influence, but all the other scientific and technological institutions of a burgeoning national security state. Understand, we just handed out billions to the folks who blew up the Nord Stream pipeline and then used Big Tech to lie about it. Our allies know who runs things on Capitol Hill so they feel free to plot any conceivable tripwire that will drag America into war — from breaking a promise not to expand NATO to escalatory attacks in the Middle East knowing full well they will elicit a response to which we will respond. But the machinations of intel officials are not limited to intervention abroad, threatening our sons and daughters with nuclear holocaust. No, Trump’s legacy has clearly demonstrated the Clapper & Brennans of the world are willing to manipulate our own political affairs as well.“
  6. The Legacy Media. The legacy media began with New York Times reporter and 1932 Pulitzer Prize winner William Duranty. According to he New York Times. “Duranty, one of the most famous correspondents of his day, won the prize for 13 articles written in 1931 analyzing the Soviet Union under Stalin. Times correspondents and others have since largely discredited his coverage. Duranty’s cabled dispatches had to pass Soviet censorship, and Stalin’s propaganda machine was powerful and omnipresent. Duranty’s analyses relied on official sources as his primary source of information, accounting for the most significant flaw in his coverage – his consistent underestimation of Stalin’s brutality.” Fast forward to today. Robert Spencer reported, “The New York Times proudly announced last Monday that it had ‘won three George Polk awards, including two for its coverage of the Israel-Hamas war.’ Those prestigious journalism awards went to “Samar Abu Elouf and Yousef Masoud of The Times’ for ‘photojournalism for their photographs of the conflict from inside Gaza, capturing the horrific toll of Israel’s airstrikes on civilians, including the death and injury of many children.’ The Times neglected to mention, however, one telling detail: Masoud has been unmasked as a member of Hamas who participated in the Oct. 7 jihad massacres inside Israel. The Paper of Record shows no sign of firing Masoud or returning the George Polk award he won, but the Jerusalem Post had the story on Thursday, noting that the media watchdog Honest Reporting had “highlighted his accreditation to a photo provided to the Associated Press, with the caption, ‘Palestinians wave their national flag and celebrate by a destroyed Israeli tank at the Gaza Strip fence east of Khan Younis southern Saturday, Oct. 7, 2023.’ How had Masoud gotten on the scene so quickly, so as to be in a position to take this picture? Honest Reporting “questioned Masoud’s explanation of his presence that he’d been woken up at 5.30 a.m. by rocket fire even though the firing only started an hour later.” The legacy media continues to favor the Communists and radical Islamists and white washes their crimes against humanity.
  7. Social Media. The best example of the impact of social media falls into two areas, censoring their political opponents and being complicit in the stealing of the 2020 election. The notorious ballot drop boxes were funded by Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg. Watch “2,000 Mules” to understand.
  8. The Swamp. The the most nefarious and most successful weapon of the swamp is — EDUCATION! The Swamp began in the afternoon of September 12th, 1905 at Peck’s Restaurant in downtown New York. That is the date that our current “cultural war” began led by the Intercollegiate Socialist Society or ISS. MarxistHistory.org reported, “The Intercollegiate Socialist Society (ISS) was a national non-party group dedicated to the organization of current and former collegians for the socialist cause and the spreading of socialist ideas on campus. Soviet politician, political theorist and revolutionary and the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1953 Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin wrote, “Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.” The swamp goes from the schoolhouse to the White House. From the school room, to corporates board rooms to court rooms across America. The Swamp’s targets are its political opponents.

The Bottom Line

G.K. Chesterton in Eugenics and Other Evils wrote, “Evil always wins through the strength of its splendid dupes; and there has in all ages been a disastrous alliance between abnormal innocence and abnormal sin.”

Ayn Rand noted, “People are not embracing collectivism because they have accepted bad economics. They are accepting bad economics because they have embraced collectivism.”

Americans are praying that November 5, 2024 will go down in history as “Drain The Swamp of Useless Idiots Day.”

To fully understand please order “DISSENT: The Highest Form of Patriotism“, a patriots manifesto to protect and defend our Constitution against all enemies and increasingly domestic.

It is time that all patriots band together and drain the swamp’s useless idiots that are creeping toward every city, county, state and our national capital. The swamp’s useless idiots are in the school house and in the White House. The swamp’s useless idiots exist in every classroom, boardroom and court room in America.

There are many useless idiot creatures but the most dangerous and deadly are those who openly attack our faith, families and freedoms.

The swamp’s useless idiots “creatures use” various mythical weapons against freedom loving patriots from the Covid-19 lockdowns, government mandates, to the control of what we eat, use, drive and how we live in order to “save the plant” from global warming and the greatest myths of all time: diversity, equity and inclusion.

All of these myths, created by the useless idiots, are designed to keep them in power by taking away our lives, liberties and freedoms, bit by bit.

Time to save America. Time to make America great again!

‘Our Allegiance Is Not to Them’: Trump Encourages Christians to Vote

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

Former President Donald Trump is calling on Christians to vote in November, warning that incumbent Joe Biden’s administration poses a serious threat to Christian values. At the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s “Road to Majority” conference in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, Trump told conservative Christians in attendance, “We have to get out there, we have to vote, we have to make sure everything’s honest.”

Referring to voter fraud, Trump reminded his audience that Americans can “police” their votes.” He quipped, “If I knew there was not going to be corruption, if I knew that everything would be honorable and honest as it should be, I’d stop campaigning right now, we’d have this thing won.”

The presumptive Republican nominee for president continued to tout the work done by the Faith & Freedom Coalition, saying, “You are truly, and I mean, indispensable. This is a great group of people and you’re warriors, in the truest sense.” However, Trump did observe, “The evangelicals and the Christians, they don’t vote as much as they should. … They go to church every Sunday, but they don’t vote.” He proceeded to urge American Christians to vote “just this time,” asking, “Do you know the power you would have if you would vote?” Trump promised to “straighten things out” if reelected and declared to Christian voters, “Working side by side, we’re going to defeat crooked Joe Biden, we’re going to defend our values, and we’re going to make America great again.”

Borrowing a famous line from his former reality show “The Apprentice,” he added, “We need Christian voters to turn out in the largest numbers ever to tell crooked Joe Biden … ‘Joe, you’re fired. Get out of here. You’re no good, you’ve been the worst president ever, you’re fired, Joe. Get out.’”

“The radical Left is trying to shame Christians, silence you, demoralize you, and they want to keep you out of politics. They don’t want you to vote, that’s why you have to vote,” Trump stated, continuing, “If you vote, we cannot lose. They don’t want you to vote. But Christians cannot afford to sit on the sidelines. If Joe Biden gets in, Christianity will not be safe in a nation with no borders, no laws, no freedom, no future.”

“You see what they’re doing?” he asked. Comparing the Biden administration’s actions to those of a “third-world dictator,” Trump went on to note that the incumbent president has violated and undermined the rule of law to target political opponents, has aggressively prosecuted pro-life Americans, and has promoted “radical gender ideology” in schools, concluding, “It’s a disgrace what’s happened to our country in such a short period of time.”

He pointed to the Biden administration’s targeting of American Catholics and asked, “What’s going on with Catholics? They are being persecuted. Catholics. What is that all about?” Under Biden, the FBI has been accused of illegally spying on American Catholics, relying on left-wing think tanks to declare Catholics “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists” according to a memo leaked last year.

Biden’s Justice Department has also targeted pro-life Catholics like Mark Houck, who was accused of a Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act violation. Houck had previously agreed to cooperate with prosecutors if charges were filed and he was quickly acquitted in court, but not before approximately two dozen FBI agents armed with automatic weapons and riot gear raided his home and arrested him in front of his wife and children.

Although Biden claims to be Catholic, numerous leaders in the Catholic Church have condemned his open opposition to Catholic moral teaching, including on such subjects as abortion, same-sex marriage, and transgenderism. Trump quipped that Biden may have “no idea what the hell is happening,” adding, “I don’t think he knows he’s alive, if you want to know the truth.”

“The reason the radical Left will always come after religious believers is simple,” Trump stated. He continued, “Because they know that our allegiance is not to them, our allegiance is not to them. Our allegiance is to our country and our allegiance is to our Creator. And we do not answer to the bureaucrats in Washington, we answer to God in Heaven.” The former President noted, “You’re not even allowed to say that anymore. Today, if you say that, they want to arrest you.” Referring to a recent Louisiana law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in public schools, Trump laughed and commented, “They think it’s such a bad thing. I said, ‘Has anyone read this? Though shalt not steal, thou shalt not’ — I mean, has anybody read this incredible stuff? It’s just incredible. They don’t want it to go up.”

Trump also touted his presidential record, recounting, “In my first term, I defended Judeo-Christian heritage like no president in the history of our country. And with your help, I will continue to fight for our values and our civilization for four more years in the White House.” He continued, “We’re going to straighten it out, we’re going to straighten it out fast,” highlighting his defense of religious liberty and freedom of speech, as well as his support for conscience protections in the medical field and his role in appointing U.S. Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v. Wade.

“Thanks to these justices,” he said, “we have also achieved what the pro-life movement fought to get for 49 years and we’ve gotten abortion out of the federal government and back to the states.” He added, “If the radical Democrat extremes [sic] get their way, they will have a federal law for abortion to rip the baby out of the womb in the seventh, eighth, and ninth month and even execute the baby after birth.” Trump also noted that Democrats “are the radical ones on this issue, far and away the radical ones, not us.”

He continued, “Above all, in the Republican Party, we will always support family, babies, life — very, very important to the Republican Party. By contrast, Joe Biden is weaponizing the Justice Department to viciously persecute pro-life activists and Americans of faith.” Referring to pro-life Americans imprisoned by the Biden administration, Trump said, “This is just crazy. We’re going to get that taken care of immediately, first day. But let’s call these brave Americans what they really are: persecuted Christians, that’s what they are, persecuted.”

“I always say we’re a nation in decline, we’re a nation in really serious, serious decline,” Trump lamented. He pledged, “But we will rapidly review the cases of every political prisoner who’s been unjustly victimized by the Biden regime … so we can get them out of the gulags and back to their families where they belong.” The former president also repeated his promise to form a “federal task force on fighting anti-Christian biases.” He explained, “It’s mission will be to investigate all forms of illegal discrimination, harassment, persecution against Christians in America. … Never again will the federal government be used to target religious believers, Americans of faith.”

As Matt Carpenter, director of FRC Action, told The Washington Stand, “The former president is right to remind Christians they ultimately answer to God. As much as the current administration might want us to think we answer to their judges and prosecutors, Christians know who ultimately is in charge.”

He went on to note, “I don’t think in 2020, when these two candidates first met in the presidential election, Christian voters thought for one minute the DOJ would be arresting pro-lifers for praying in abortion clinics or trying to erase Resurrection Sunday with ‘Transgender Day of Visibility,’” he pointed out. “Like the sons of Issachar, I think many of them understand the times we are living in and are ready to send a message to Washington, D.C. in a few months.”

Washington, D.C. Nakba March: ‘We want to defeat imperialism by Intifada’

/in , , , , , , , , /by

NEWSRAEL: Notice how the narrative is changing. No longer “no crimes were committed by Hamas on 10/7”, but rather “This is not about a ceasefire or civil rights.”

In a May 18, 2024 D.C. march on the National Mall commemorating the Nakba, speakers stated that they are not interested in a ceasefire but the end to the State of Israel.

They chanted: “We don’t want no two states… We’re taking back ’48!” An organizer with Mayrland2Palestine said that Zionism is a “sickness.”

She continued to say that the Palestinian struggle is not a movement for a ceasefire or civil rights, nor is it due to a humanitarian crisis, but rather it is to defeat imperialism.

The speaker said that imperialism has never been defeated by peace talks and that it can all be defeated by Intifada. She then led the crowd in a song about a return to Jerusalem, Haifa, Jaffa, Acre, Safed, Lod, and Ramla.

Judicial Watch: New Documents Reveal D.C. Training for Noncitizen Voting

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Washington, D.C. — Judicial Watch announced today that it received 13-pages of records in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request from the District of Columbia, explaining to illegal aliens and other noncitizens how they can register to vote in local elections.

 The records came in response to an April 12, 2024, FOIA request for: 

  1. Materials presented and/or provided at the training;
  2. Communications advertising/promoting the training; and
  3. Materials provided to participants/attendees after the training.

 On April 10, 2024, DC held a training event titled ”Non-Citizen Voting Education Virtual Training” in which DC announced noncitizen voting would begin in 2024.

 The PowerPoint presentation explains:

Non-US citizen residents of the District of Columbia can vote in local elections under the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022. Non-US citizen residents can vote in District elections for the offices of Mayor, Attorney General, Chairman or member(s) of the DC Council, member(s) of the State [sic] Board of Education, or Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner(s) Non-US citizen residents cannot vote for Federal Offices

To register to vote in the District of Columbia as a non-citizen, you must: Be at least 17 years old and 18 years old by the next General Election; Maintain residency in the District of Columbia for at least 30 days prior to the election in which you intend to vote; Not claim voting residence or the right to vote in any state, territory, or country; Not been found by a court to be legally incompetent to vote.

You must provide proof of your address in the District of Columbia at an Early Vote Center prior to Election Day or at the polling place assigned to your address on Election Day.

In 2023 the DC Council amended the District of Columbia Election Code of 1955 to expand the definition of the term qualified elector to include otherwise eligible noncitizen residents, including illegal aliens.

DC’s law went a step further than those jurisdictions, though, by extending the franchise to undocumented immigrants.

The District’s action was opposed by congressional Republicans but they failed to overturn the measure.

“Illegal aliens and noncitizens should not vote in any elections,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said. “That Congress allows the votes of citizens to be legally stolen by illegal aliens in our nation’s capital is inexcusable.”

According to federal law, only U.S. citizens can vote in federal elections, but a growing number of state and local elections allow noncitizens to vote, among them San Francisco and Oakland, California, along with some cities in Maryland and Vermont. In February, a state appeals court ruled a similar New York City law violates the state constitution.

Save our Republic—Shut Down the Government on March 8th, 2024

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

The weak do nothing Congressional Republican and Democrat socialists and Communists are still unable to script a balanced budget that eliminates the massive fraud waste and abuse of U.S. taxpayers hard earned money.

Currently the congress have not been able to agree on legislation to fund the departments of Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Energy, Transportation and Housing and Urban Affairs. Only the Veterans Affairs and military construction, all of which have legitimate constitutional standing.

But with that said.

The Communists and Socialists in Congress have no problem printing more money in the Treasury Department and borrowing more money from Communist China to fund the traitorous impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’s salary.

The do nothing weak Republican led Congress have no problem funding the woke led Pentagon which allows woke indoctrinated military members to slaughter their pre-born children.

The Pentagon uses our tax dollars to reimburse the travel costs allowing these woke military members to kill these pre-born future Americans who are denied their constitutional protections of life and liberty.

The Marxist Biden administration’s climate agenda designed to dismantle our free markets and capitalist entrepreneurial enterprises is still funded driving inflation to its highest levels in 50 years.

The minority group of conservative congressional patriots like Matt Gaetz (R-FL) continue to fight for the fiscal economic sanity of our Republic which could result in a much needed partial government shutdown after March 1 2024 to stop this Marxist agenda.

Globalist Socialist Republican In Name Only (RINO) and non functioning geriatric GOP Senate Leader Mitch McConnell (KY) has no problem funding billions of unaccounted for tax payer money to the corrupt Ukraine.

But then he screams to his House GOP colleagues on February 26th 2024 that shutting down the government due to fiscal restraints put in place by conservatives is not an option.
“Shutting down the government is harmful to the country. And it never produces positive outcomes — on policy or politics,” he warned on the Senate floor.

I’m thinking the massive national debt created in part by loser Mitch McConnell and his out of control spending with his Socialist / Marxist Republican and Democrat pals is far more damaging to our Republic.

The useless UniParty have a deadline to fund the rest of the government by March 8th 2024.

I’ve got no problem shutting the government down until these worthless members of congress initiate a balanced budget that reduces significantly our 34 trillion national debt and eliminates totally this unconstitutional fraudulent spending.

If a government shutdown hurts the reelection of these Republican and Democrat traitors to our Republic then so be it. Good riddance to them come Election Day. But the end result will be the survival of our Republic.

Dem-Backed Bill Would Force Gun Owners To Buy ‘Liability’ Insurance In Washington State

/in , , , , , , /by

Legislation pending in the Washington state legislature would force gun owners to purchase insurance.

Democratic State Sens. Patty Kuderer and Javier Valdez of Washington introduced SB5963, which would force insurance companies to ask prospective customers if they own firearms, and to then advise them of the state requirement to own liability insurance, according to the text of the legislation. The legislation did not specify any penalties for those who do not have insurance, nor does it require any specific level of coverage.

“By setting this requirement, Washington attempts to reduce the risk and subsequent cost of hardships of gun accidents,” Kuderer claimed during testimony on the legislation at a Monday hearing of the Washington State Senate Law and Justice Committee, according to local newspaper The Olympian. “This bill achieves these goals and reallocates costs without compromising any Second Amendment rights. This is true because this requirement does not regulate, limit or control the manner or method in which people may keep or bear arms. Instead, it simply says you must have liability insurance.”

Kuderer claimed during her remarks that deaths and injuries from firearms cost Washington state $169 million a year during her remarks, saying the bill “provides financial incentive for responsible arms carrying.”

A similar proposal was passed by the city of San Jose, California in 2022, while Los Angeles County enacted a similar requirement in February 2023 after a mass shooting. Democrats in the United States House of Representatives proposed a similar bill in 2013 following the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, but it did not become law.

Yakima County Commissioner Amanda McKinney ripped the legislation, calling it an attack on Second Amendment rights.

“This is yet one more way that Olympia has seen fit to put a cost at simply existing,” McKinney told The Olympian. “And in this case, putting a cost to exercise their constitutional right to simply protect themselves.”

The legislation is scheduled for a vote Tuesday. If passed, the full Washington state House of Representatives will take the bill up for consideration, according to The Olympian.

“The NRA strongly opposes Senate Bill 5963, misguided legislation that unfairly burdens law-abiding gun owners with unnecessary insurance mandates,” NRA Washington Director Aoibheann Cline told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “This bill not only infringes on Second Amendment rights but also exacerbates housing affordability issues, potentially making home ownership unattainable for many.”

SB 5963 fails to address crime and broadly impacts all gun owners, including those ineligible for the required policies. It’s an intrusive measure that risks increasing insurance costs and disproportionately affects low and middle-class gun owners,” Cline added. “The NRA stands with gun owners in rejecting this bill and urges strong opposition to protect our constitutional rights.”

Kuderer did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the DCNF.
