Alex Padilla Just Proved Himself Another Violence-Prone Democrat

After “sitting U.S. Senator” Alex Padilla barged into Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference and got himself forcibly (and rightly) tossed out of the room and handcuffed, leftists across America (again!) want us to be aghast at the Trump administration. It almost seemed like the whole episode was planned! Knowing Democrats as we do, almost certainly it was a planned stunt, done solely for political theatrics.

Democrats across the U.S. are desperate to sway the electorate in their favor, so I’m not surprised by most anything they will pull at this point. They’re even calling out Barack Obama for supposedly not doing enough to counter the Trump administration.

However, all Senator Padilla’s stunt is likely to do is to further embolden and enrage the already unhinged elements that are so prominent in his party. I write this only hours after Senator Padilla’s antics, and I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if the Democrats’ lackeys that are so eager to engage in violence take Senator Padilla’s actions as a cue to take things up a notch.

This is especially true given the frothy-mouth responses of Senator Padilla’s colleagues in the U.S. House and Senate. “How dare they do such to a sitting U.S. Senator!”—or something to that effect—was a regular refrain by Democrats and their media allies. Elected Democrats are enraged, and they want you—or as many Americans as possible—enraged as well. How soon they forget what their faithful are capable of.

We are in the midst of rampant, violent anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles and other U.S. Cities, and on the doorstep of the “No Kings” protest movement, which has reportedly over 1800 planned events this weekend. Of course, all of this follows multiple assassination attempts against President Trump, years of anti-law enforcement rhetoric and actions, and widespread criminal activity across the U.S., all brought to you by the Democrat Party and its adherents.

In other words, many of us—especially those protecting elected Republicans—are now conditioned to expect violence from Democrats. Thus, no one should be surprised that Senator Padilla was treated as he was when he loudly charged into Secretary Noem’s press conference, and then refused to obey security officials. (Imagine that! A Democrat ignoring the words of law enforcement officers!)

Even CNN’s legal expert thought Padilla got what he deserved! Be warned, Democrats, your mask is off. You’re not going to get off so lightly with these antics anymore. You’ve shown us what you’re capable of, and those of us who love law and order are going to act accordingly.

Democrats Are Stuck with the Trans Agenda

The trans agenda has proved a tremendous millstone around the neck of the Democrat Party. Deservedly so! This evil ideology is one of the biggest reasons Democrats find themselves sinking in the political sea that is the American electorate. Currently, the Democrats are historically unpopular. As the New York Post put it last month, “Democrats have become so unpopular that more Americans believe that aliens are among us than agree with the Democratic Party.”

The Post piece continues,

Dems are now held in lower esteem than lawyers, undertakers, and car salesmen.

Two punishing new polls released Sunday show that the party has hit historic new lows in approval ratings nationwide — with just 27% of Americans saying they like the job Democrats are doing, according to NBC News.

A CNN poll put favorability at 29% — the lowest rating in the 33-year history of the survey; 54% have an unfavorable view.

Just a few days ago, a Newsweek headline blared, “Democratic Leaders Get Worst Polling Result in Over Two Decades.” This same Newsweek piece also noted that “confidence in congressional Republican leadership is on the upswing and is double digits ahead of Democrats.” Additionally, President Trump’s favorability rating (as of this writing) is about 20 points higher than that of Democrats.

Again, much of this is due to the fact that Democrats refuse to acknowledge the plain, simple, and long-held truth on what is a male and what is a female. As I’ve frequently noted, marriage—the union of one man and one woman for life—and what is a male or female are two of the oldest truths in the history of humanity. About the only truth older than what is marriage is what is a male and what is a female.

Thank God—for now, at least—many Americans still hold to these truths and are aghast enough to keep at least some of the fools who deny these fundamental truths from political power in this nation. In what was likely the most effective ad (“Kamala Harris is for they/them, Donald Trump’s for you.”) Donald Trump ran during the 2024 race for U.S. President, Trump’s team highlighted Harris’s and the Democrat’s extremism on transgender issues.

A few Democrats—Bill Maher being chief among them—have recognized how electorally damaging the trans agenda has been to the Democrat Party. A few Democrats in elected office seem willing to heed Maher’s warning. However, most Democrats have completely embraced the trans agenda.

Democrat support for the wicked trans agenda was on full display during the Biden administration. As Leor Sapir put it at City Journal,

From hiding children’s gender transitions in schools from their parents to letting boys compete in girls’ sports; from replacing words like “woman” and “breastfeeding” with “uterus haver” and “chest-feeding” to supporting sex “change” surgeries for children; from appointing a Supreme Court justice who wouldn’t define “woman” because she is “not a biologist” to diverting millions of federal dollars to researchers who suppress scientific evidence that puberty blockers don’t work; it is hard to think of a single transgender policy that the Biden administration did not support, directly or indirectly…

Additionally, Democrat-controlled states are not backing down from the trans agenda. I believe there is no going back for Democrats on this issue. The Democrat Party has fully embraced a post-truth agenda, and “transgenderism” is a cornerstone of this agenda. Tragically, too many Americans are eager for the lies the left has long sold on sex.

To reject “transgenderism” would be a retreat towards the truth, and the Democrat Party cannot afford to do this. Once you start walking towards the truth, other lies tend to get exposed, and the Democrat Party is built on a mountain of lies. Thus, if the Democrat Party rejects the trans agenda, the Party, as we now know it, will cease to exist. Something called the “Democrat Party” might still exist, but it will be a shell of its former self.

Something new and even further from the truth would fill the political space now occupied by the Democrats. Led by the likes of AOC and Lil’ Boss Hogg, this new party would siphon tens-of-millions of voters from the Democrat Party. This would shake-up the political landscape in America like nothing before.

Democrats simply cannot allow this to happen, thus they are stuck with the trans agenda and whatever other perversions that lie ahead as they continue to march away from the truth.

The Democrat Party is DEMONIC!!!

I've been saying it for DECADES!!! The Devil runs the Democrat Party!!! See: The Devil and the Democrat Party. See: Two Shades of Dismay: The Perverse Bondage Wrought by Liberalism and Islam. And so on... People like the young lady below are FINALLY seeing it as well! More of this, Lord!!!

“After today I get it now, now I understand why everyone is being called to leave the Democratic Party.”

MORE EVIDENCE That Christians Should NEVER Vote for Democrats!

This is from David Strom at HotAir: 

Democrats are looking under the couch cushions for votes, so a new PAC has come up with a sure-fire strategy for harvesting a few: advertise on pornographic sites. 

It is absolutely disgusting that the Democrats’ strategy to overcome Kamala Harris’ problem with men is to claim Trump will ban porn. They are telling men *we are the party that will protect your porn.*

No Christian can justify supporting this. pic.twitter.com/Ly3BqksLrW

— Megan Basham (@megbasham) October 12, 2024

Pornography [tragically] is ubiquitous, so no doubt you will reach a lot of male voters this way. I doubt that the ones searching for heterosexual pornography will flock to Kamala Harris, though. Perhaps the PAC should consider limiting its expenditures to so-called "sissy" porn since that's who rolls with them.

 

I'm not, shall we say, thrilled with the normalization of pornography and am absolutely appalled at the celebration of it in the public square by the left. Human beings are fallen, so I understand that porn will always be with us. But it matters quite a bit whether it is kept in the shadows or paraded out in public, and it matters even more if it is embraced and celebrated as it has been lately. The left now encourages children to participate in sexually-charged events. ...

The Democratic Party now mocks any and all things sacred because they compete with and challenge their one sacred rite: sexual liberation. That's why Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (and Harris campaign co-chair) didn't think twice about mocking the Eucharist, playing a dominatrix priestess giving a Dorito communion to a sexual acolyte after doing a podcast about abortion. 

Kamala Harris, San Francisco Democrat, never met a drag queen she didn't like. There used to be a day when "a chicken in every pot" was the campaign slogan. For Harris, it is "a drag queen in every classroom." Here our esteemed Vice President is with drag queen "Patti Gonia" at a… pic.twitter.com/A7jJfa4J7a

— Robert A. J. Gagnon (@RobertAJGagnon1) July 24, 2024

...We have made progress waking people up. Ultimately, it will be the Democrats themselves who convince ordinary people to leave their party. It takes a lot to rewire a person's perceptions. But the Democrats are working hard to build the porn coalition, and most people don't want to be part of that. 

I hope most Americans don't want to be a part of the "porn coalition," but I have my doubts. I sure hope that proves to be the case with this election.

Democrats: The George Costanza of Politics

Oh, what might have been! The stunning escapade of events that have plagued the Democrat Party the past several weeks could’ve largely been avoided if only Democrats trafficked more frequently in the truth. For example, if the passionate cascade of calls for Joe Biden to exit the presidential race had occurred this time last year, the Democrat Party likely would not now be stuck with one of the two holdovers from what has been a disastrous presidential administration.

With Joe Biden quitting the race, the democrats are almost certainly stuck with Kamala Harris as their presidential nominee. Shortly after his announced departure from the 2024 presidential race, Biden endorsed her. Not long after that, the Clintons endorsed her. Nancy Pelosi has now endorsed her, and as Byron York points out,

[O]nce Biden withdrew, there was a stampede to Harris. By Sunday evening, a majority of House Democrats, a majority of Senate Democrats, a majority of Democratic governors, and all of the state party chairs had committed to support Harris… by Monday morning, Harris was well on her way to securing the Democratic nomination.

As of this writing, CNN reports that Harris has now secured enough delegates to win the Democrat nomination. Nevertheless, as Mr. York also notes, Kamala Harris “is a provably terrible candidate, possibly the worst candidate Democrats could field in their situation.” Because too many democrats are obsessed with identity politics—especially race and gender identity—they are likely stuck with Harris as their 2024 presidential candidate. Again, it did not have to be this way.

Go back one year, or even just eight months or so ago: if the Democrat Party and their apologists had then been honest with only themselves about the shortcomings of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and their “accomplishments,” they could’ve almost completely avoided the disaster in which they now find themselves.

The only thing democrats really needed at that time was for Joe Biden to say he wasn’t going to seek a second term. If he stubbornly refused (as he indeed did!), then you have the party leaders and the media put the pressure on him that we just witnessed. If this was accomplished with enough time to spare before primary season, then you have a real Democrat primary.

Of course, this hypothetical primary would almost certainly include Kamala Harris. However, as we saw in 2020 (when she had to run in a real primary), because she is a terrible candidate, Harris would almost certainly not be the Democrat nominee. Thus, the Democrat party could’ve had a viable candidate that was neither Biden nor Harris.

There are countless democrats more capable of running a presidential campaign than Joe Biden or Kamala Harris, but rampant democrat lies—including lying to themselves and their own voters—prevented this from happening. They lied about Joe Biden’s mental and physical health. They’ve lied about his accomplishments. They’ve lied about inflation. They’ve lied about the border. They’ve lied about Harris’s abilities, and so on. What’s more, a democrat not named Biden or Harris could’ve distanced themselves (somewhat) from the disaster that is the Biden administration.

Sure, Trump and the GOP would’ve have claimed—not incorrectly—that any Democrat candidate for President of the United States would be beholden to the agenda of the radical left and would produce results similar to Biden/Harris. However, this hypothetical democrat could, if a capable non-DEI candidate, subtly and skillfully make the case that their administration would be different and better than Biden/Harris and even give some specifics as to why.

This would especially be the case if this hypothetical democrat came from outside the Biden administration. For example, one of the Democrat governors, or a suitable Senate or House democrat. Tragically, nearly 40% of America is going to vote for virtually any democrat for President. Thus, the non-Biden/Harris candidate would only have to win over the necessary swath of independent and never-Trump voters. This would not be an insurmountable task.

Yet, because they so easily and eagerly lie, the democrats now find themselves in the political mess they so richly deserve. Democrats are the George Costanza of politics, nearly incapable of telling the truth. Joe Biden was almost as effective at pretending to be President as George was at pretending to be an architect!

Just as George’s “whole [fictional] life was a lie,” the Democrat Party is filled with lies and liars. The platform of the Democrat Party is a mountain of lies. They lie about life in the womb. They lie about sex. They lie about marriage and family. They lie about economics. They lie about the climate. They lie about energy. They lie about elections. And of course, they lie about democracy and Donald Trump.

Perhaps democrats should try doing the opposite.

“Democracy” Means Little to Those Who’ve Made a god of Government

Say it ain’t so! Old, slow Joe is no mo’! At long last—a mere 107 days from the election—the Democrats have abandoned democracy and have concluded that their “party leaders” (Barack Obama’s words) will decide who will be their presidential candidate in 2024. It turns out the dastardly Democrat Party is a dreadful steward of democracy. Of course, this should surprise no one.

The idea that democrats are the “defenders of democracy” is as much a charade as was the notion that Joe Biden is “far beyond cogent” and “better than he’s ever been.” This would all be hilarious if it weren’t so fraught with peril. Having Joe Biden dodder around the White House, stumble across the country, and wander-off throughout the world for three-and-a-half years has proved a disaster for the United States. Americans are quite lucky (blessed!) that things are not far worse in our nation.

Things will get worse if a more capable Democrat gets the keys to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Because, again, it’s not Joe Biden’s lack of physical and mental acuity that have proved most disastrous for the U.S. His party’s policies are the biggest threat, and if a younger, more energetic, more enthusiastic Democrat replaces him and wins in November, we will spiral further and faster down the proverbial drain.

Joe Biden was simply the most electable tool for the democrats in 2020. He is no longer that, so “party leaders” decided he had to be replaced. As the past several years have well demonstrated, Joe Biden’s health was never a problem for his apologists. It’s not really a problem for them now either.

Make no mistake about it, if Joe Biden was looking like he was going to beat Donald Trump, the democrats would be happy to continue with his sham of a presidential campaign. (They still plan to continue with his sham of a presidency!) Running cover for a dreadful debate is light work for those who belong to the “father of lies.” But, since Biden looked like a sure loser in November, and since keeping the power of the U.S presidency is paramount for the Democrat Party, “party leaders” have decided their primary no longer matters.

Political power of any sort is vastly important to those who’ve made a god of government, and the pinnacle of political power in the world is the presidency of the United States. By and large, democrats across the U.S. have put their hope and trust in the things of this world. Thus, efforts at achieving political power in this world is where so many democrats focus their time, energy, and financial resources.

Donald Trump is a threat to this power, but efforts at removing him have proved fruitless. (Even for would-be assassins!) Therefore, democrats turned towards attacking (politically) a weaker, more vulnerable man, and if “democracy” had to be sacrificed to make sure this attack succeeded, then so be it.

Of Course Joe Biden Won the Rigged Democrat Primaries

In an effort to stave off the calls for him to drop out of the race for U.S. President, in a letter to congressional Democrats, Joe Biden boldly declared,

We had a Democratic nomination process and the voters have spoken clearly and decisively. I received over 14 million votes, 87% of the votes cast across the entire nominating process. I have nearly 3,900 delegates, making me the presumptive nominee of our party by a wide margin.

This was a process open to anyone who wanted to run. Only three people chose to challenge me…

As a follow-up to that letter, on Monday morning, July 8, Biden called in to one of his favorite Democrat shills, Morning Joe, and told Joe Scarborough and his meager audience,

Well look — Democrats — Joe, let me say it this way, the reason I’ve been on the road so much, all over the country, while Trump is riding around in a golf cart, filling out his golf cart before, golf cart before he even hits the ball — but anyway, he hasn’t been anywhere in 10 days, I’ve been all over the country, No. 1. And I’ve gone over the country for several reasons, one, to make sure my instinct was right about the party still wanting me to be the nominee. And all the data, all the data shows that the average Democrat out there who voted, 14 million of them who’ve voted for me, still want me to be the nominee, No. 1. [Empasis mine.]

In other words, Joe Biden is telling his Democrat critics to “back off” because he won. And he’s not wrong! As Mary Rooke at the Daily Caller points out,

All fifty states have voted in party primaries. The Democrats chose President Joe Biden, and the Republicans voted in former President Donald Trump as their candidate. At this point, while still an important part of the official process, the party conventions are merely a formality. But that is not stopping the Democrat Party from attempting a coup against its voters to install their preferred candidate, who is no longer Biden.

Yes, Joe Biden won the 2024 Democrat primaries. However, what he is—and most others are—failing to point out is that he won a largely rigged process. As early as February of 2023, astute observers of the political scene were aware of the Democrat Party’s efforts to ensure it was Joe Biden who was their nominee for the 2024 election. On February 5, 2023, the Editorial Board of The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), penned “Rigging the Primaries for Biden.” They wrote,

The Democratic National Committee voted Saturday to revise the party’s nominating calendar to put South Carolina first in line, upending a half century of tradition. The Iowa caucuses, which have been first since 1972, will be relegated to the back of the bus. After South Carolina’s primary on Feb. 3, 2024, the new order will be: New Hampshire and Nevada both on Feb. 6, followed by Georgia on Feb. 13 and Michigan on Feb. 27.

All of this is being done at the request—please don’t say orders—of the Biden White House. South Carolina rescued Mr. Biden’s candidacy in 2020 from defeat by Bernie Sanders, and black voters in that state and Georgia make up a large part of the Democratic electorate and Mr. Biden’s core support. Michigan’s primary was held on March 10 in 2020 and is another state where he won.

The DNC pushed Iowa and New Hampshire back in their primary calendar because those two states were perceived as likely not giving Biden necessary political momentum. As the WSJ put it,

The main benefit of the early New Hampshire and Iowa contests is that they give voters a chance at close-up vetting, and they give long-shot candidates a chance to elevate an issue or emerge from obscurity. The winners don’t always go on to be nominated, much less take the White House, but they are a different kind of candidate test than debates and TV advertising.

The risk for Democrats is that by greasing the wheels for Mr. Biden they will miss such a signal from the electorate. The polls are showing that even most Democrats prefer another nominee in 2024.

In June of 2023, ABC News wrote a piece detailing how Democrats were going to keep Biden from primary debates. Former CEO and co-founder of Twitter (now X) Jack Dorsey was quoted as saying, “Open the Democrat primaries and debates. This isn’t fair to anyone.” The same ABC News piece also noted, “When asked by Politico in August 2022 about how they might deal with a primary challenge, DNC executive director Sam Cornale put it bluntly: ‘We're with Biden. Period.’”

So as early as 2022, the DNC had made up its mind about Biden. Just this week, NBC chief political analyst Chuck Todd said that a “senior cabinet member” told him two years ago that they don’t think Biden can continue as President. Two years ago was 2022. The DNC had to have had this information as well, or they sure should have! Yet, they chose to go with Joe Biden.

In September of 2023, liberal publication Vox felt the need to explain “Why Biden isn’t getting a credible primary challenger.” Also in September of 2023, for the WSJ, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wrote “The Democratic Party Rigs the Primaries.” In January of 2024, The Washington Post (see here to avoid a paywall) ran “How the DNC challenger-proofed the primaries for Biden” by Jim Geraghty.

There were significant accusations in 2020 as well that the Democrat Party rigged their primaries to favor Joe Biden. Now just who is it that is the real “threat to democracy” in America?! The Democrat Party has no one to blame but themselves when it comes to the position they are now in with Joe Biden. Though they regularly hail themselves as “defenders of democracy,” it should come as no surprise that the political party who has little issue with election rigging now wants to engage in more election tampering and install a chosen candidate to replace Joe Biden.

And never forget, the cover-up of Joe Biden’s significant health issues by the drive-by media is also a means of election rigging. The drive-bys also share the blame for a mentally and physically disabled man now serving as President of the United States.

The Main Reason Joe Biden Should Not be President

It didn’t work. Joe Biden’s friendly 22-minute interview with George Stephanopolous did little to nothing to quell the calls from Democrats that Biden should drop out of the race for U.S. President. Of course, this should come as no surprise. For anyone who was willing to see it, it has been quite obvious that Joe Biden has been in a frail and declining mental and physical state for years now. This was clear well prior to the 2020 election.

The Trump campaign ran an ad in August of 2020 that highlighted Biden’s mental decline. No doubt this is one of the reasons why the drive-by media refused to cover Biden’s numerous health issues. They sacrificed the truth because none of them wanted to be seen as aiding Trump, or even giving any credibility to his campaign. In other words, they lied about Biden simply because they hated Trump.

And never forget, this is not merely about Donald Trump. Trump was once a media darling. They now hate him because he is a big obstacle—not the only obstacle—to the perverse leftist agenda. Now that Joe Biden has also become an obstacle to the left’s political goals—simply because many Democrats now believe he can’t beat Trump—he, like Trump, now draws their ire.

Though they want him gone, the left can’t seem to stop praising Biden over his “accomplishments” as U.S. President. One of the first big voices to call for Biden to leave the Presidential race was The New York Times editorial board. On June 28, just hours after the Trump-Biden debate ended, they declared,

Mr. Biden has been an admirable president. Under his leadership, the nation has prospered and begun to address a range of long-term challenges, and the wounds ripped open by Mr. Trump have begun to heal.

Just days after his disastrous debate, David Strom at HotAir revealed that a common refrain from Democrats and their media apologists was in the works: “The real line I keep seeing coming from Democrats big and small is ‘Joe Biden is the most accomplished president in my lifetime,’ or some minor variation of that.”

While being the third Democrat congressman to call for Biden to exit the race for President, Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton boldly concluded that, “I think President Biden has done an amazing job for America. He's been a great president. And he'll go down in history as a great president.”

In an X post in support of Joe Biden, Democrat Rep. Shelia Jackson Lee declared “President Biden has done a great job…” Axios recently reported that “Many Democrats believe Biden has been an excellent president.” Most recently, Democrat Senator John Fetterman told CNN, “Joe Biden has been a great president ... and I'm not going to chuck him for a rough debate.”

Of course, as was the case with his obvious declining health, this is all just more propagandic spin from the democrats and their media stooges. On Biden, Republican Senator Tom Cotton nailed it when he announced, “But even if he were 20 years younger and sprightly and energetic, he’d still be a failed, weak president because his ideas are failures.”

Likewise, on Howard Kurtz Fox News show MediaBuzz, Mollie Hemingway said,

It’s not that people don’t think that Joe Biden is old. They do. They have repeatedly said that for years. But the reason why Joe Biden has favorability in the thirties—prior to the debate—is because of his policies. They don’t like inflation. They don’t like what he’s doing with foreign policy. They don’t like domestic policy. And you have not heard the media talking about the actual reason why Americans don’t like Joe Biden. Instead, they’re just doing all this about his health.

Yes, Joe Biden is physically and mentally unfit for the office of U.S. President, but even if that were not the case—and the drive-by media has spent years pretending it wasn’t—his, and his party’s, policies are not popular with the American electorate. Joe Biden’s economic policies are unpopular, his immigration policies are unpopular, his foreign policy is unpopular, his crime and policing policies are unpopular, and so on.

Very recent polling (post debate) finds that registered voters approve of Donald Trump’s job performance as President over Joe Biden’s job performance as President, 51% to 41%. Additionally, the same poll found voters trust Trump over Biden on handling the economy, 54% to 40%. Likewise, voters trust Trump over Biden on immigration, 53% to 40%, and on national security, 52% to 42%.

In other words, Democrats are in serious danger in the upcoming election not merely because of Joe Biden’s body and brain, but because of how democrats, led by Joe Biden, have governed over the past three-and-a-half years.

The American Left Has Long Been Littered with Lies and Liars

The day after Joe Biden turned in the horrific debate performance that many of us knew was coming, and after countless Democrat apparatchiks finally had to admit what many of us have long known—that Joe Biden is unfit to serve as U.S. President—Biden got out on the campaign trail and declared,

Folks, I don’t walk as easy as I used to. I don’t speak as smoothly as I used to. I don’t debate as well as I used to. But I know what I do know. I know how to tell the truth. I know right from wrong. 

Prior to this, immediately after the debate, and just after treating her husband like a five-year-old who had just finished his tee-ball game, Jill Biden led the faithful in declaring Donald Trump a liar. As Joe Biden continues to resist calls to drop out of the race (though, that could change soon), the American left is clinging to two particular refrains when it comes the race for the White House: Donald Trump is a liar and a “threat to democracy.”

The “threat to democracy” accusation is getting democrats virtually nowhere. In a richly hilarious bit of irony, a recent Washington Post poll found that Trump beat Biden by double digits (44% to 33%) in who would best protect America from “threats to democracy.” (Can you imagine how difficult it must have been for the Democrat lackeys at the Washington Post to publish these results?!)

Even more absurd is the Democrat Party touting their candidate—Joe Biden, or whoever it turns out to be—as an agent of truth. When it comes to the most important moral issues of our time, few entities have been on the wrong side of the truth more often than has the Democrat Party and their apologists.

The democrat platform has long been a mountain of lies. On everything from abortion to “universal health care,” the Democrat Party has lied repeatedly, for decades. Since at least the early 1970s, in order to justify killing the most helpless and innocent among us—the unborn—the American left has continuously dehumanized the unborn. They have told countless lies about the consequences of killing a child in the womb. They have even gone so far as to attempt to justify what could only be described as infanticide.

The numerous lies surrounding abortion were born from the left’s lies on sex. With devastating consequences, the left has preached to generations of Americans the pagan principle “Do as thou wilt” when it comes to matters in the sexual realm. Thus, millions of Americans have been deceived into believing that they can have sex whenever they like, with whomever they like, without consequence. And, of course, if an unwanted child results, the left demands the “right” to kill it.

Likewise, the evil LGBT agenda was born out of the left’s lies on sex. Among much other wickedness, the LGBT agenda has resulted in the perverse lie that is same-sex “marriage” along with the absurd lie that, through mutilating their bodies, human beings can change their sex.

In the name of more power and control over our lives—just as we saw with COVID—the left continues to promote the lie that man-made global warming climate change threatens the planet. This lie has become the “new religion of first world elites.” This lie also demands trillions of dollars in a foolish and ineffectual “energy transition,” that the use of fossil fuels must stop, and that we should eat bugs instead of beef.

The left’s lies on police and crime have led to pervasive and enduring lawlessness in numerous American cities. Of course, this resulted from the widespread effort to “defund the police” in democrat-controlled cities and states. Because the left can’t tell the truth about crime, Democrat-run cities are also littered with the homeless, squatters, and drug users to the point that millions of Americans are fleeing these liberal hell-holes.

In an attempt to “Make America Mexico Again,” or to import more democrat voters, the left continues to lie about their desire for open borders and the devastating consequences of this destructive, intentional policy. The Biden administration alone has lied over-and-over again about the crisis at our southern border. Unsurprisingly, the attempt to bolster this lie with virtue-signaling “sanctuary city” policies has backfired big time on Democrats.

One of the most lucrative lies for the left is the idea that “systemic racism” still plagues the U.S. This is a rather effective lie as well, as three-fourths of Joe Biden voters believe that America is a racist nation. Of course, it makes it rather easy to paint a nation or an individual as racist when almost everything that exists can described as “racist.”

For example, according to the left, merely wanting peace and quiet is now “white supremacy.” Similarly, being fit is racist, the Electoral College is racist, math is racist, and even being born white is racist.

And who can forget the left’s repeated lies on Trump-Russia collusion and the Hunter Biden laptop? What’s more, the left has long lied about guns and gun violence, education, the economy, and even the nature of truth itself.

The left lies as if it were its native language. For many years now I have said that one of the greatest tools of Satan in the world today is the Democrat Party. In John 8:44, speaking of Satan, Jesus declares, “When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” Given how frequently and demonstrably the left lies, it seems my claim is spot on.

The Death of George Floyd and "The Fall of Minneapolis"

The Fall of Minneapolis is a new, crowdfunded film that details the death of George Floyd and the horrific aftermath, including the trial of Derek Chauvin. The film is based on Alpha News journalist Liz Collin’s Amazon bestseller They’re Lying: The Media, The Left, and The Death of George Floyd. 

The film features numerous interviews with those directly involved with the infamous George Floyd saga, including former Minneapolis police officers Derek Chauvin and Alexander Kueng, both of whom spoke to Liz Collin from prison. The families of Chauvin and Kueng also speak out publicly for the first time. 

This is a magnificently important work, and by all accounts, very well done. I believe one of the biggest, most destructive lies that has infected our culture is the prevailing narrative surrounding the death of George Floyd. I believe Chauvin and Kueng were railroaded and were, and continue to be, scapegoats for most everything the American left and the Democrat Party holds against U.S. law enforcement. Lord, let there be truth and justice for all of those involved in this tragic event! 

Thanks to the generosity of those supporting the film, it is available for free in full at Rumble and other locations, including below. To support this important work, go here.

The "Rigged Election" Video Democrats and YouTube Don't Want You to See

The "election denying" hypocrisy in the American media and the Democrat Party is blatant, widespread, and downright embarrassing! The video below--which YouTube has demonitized--well illustrates why this is the case:

Mark Levin: The Democrat Party Must Be "Obliterated"

On his Fox show, "Life, Liberty, & Levin," Mark Levin says what I've been saying privately for some time: The Democrat Party, as it currently exists, must be destroyed. It must cease to have power and influence in this nation. As I have also said (though more publicly) often in the last few years: The modern Democrat Party is one of the greatest tools of Satan in the world today. Their whole existence is rooted in a mountain of lies, and these lies have infected and corrupted most every institution in America, including, but not limited to: government, education, law enforcement, the military, science (especially medical and climate science), corporations, and the like. Most importantly, the widespread corruption of the Democrat Party has even infected our families and the church. No right-minded voter should ever do anything that would allow Democrats to continue with power and influence in America. This especially means that, for lovers of truth, no one with the privilege of voting in America should ever cast their ballot for a Democrat.

The SPLC Hates the Truth

The left-wing propaganda group known as the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has come out with its annual “Year in Hate and Extremism” report. This latest report is for 2022. This year’s report supposedly documents “1,225 hate and antigovernment extremist groups across the United States.” According to Fox News, this is up from 733 “hate groups” in 2021. As has been widely reported, even the pro-family, parental rights group “Moms for Liberty” made this year’s list.

Since 1990, the SPLC has published a so-called “hate map.” The “hate map” has devolved into a “hate and anti-government” map. So, note that, with its current map, if you merely oppose the government in a manner that the SPLC doesn’t approve—e.g. the Moms for Liberty—you could end up as an ugly dot on their map.

These days, opposing the government in a manner the SPLC doesn’t approve simply means speaking out against the evils of Critical Race Theory, the grooming of children, the genital mutilation of children, Drag Queen Story Hour, or boys in girls’ sports and locker rooms.

Opposing the government in a manner that displeases the SPLC also means standing against all the immorality of the evil LGBT agenda. It means standing up for the truth on marriage, family, and sex. It means speaking out against the invasion of illegal immigrants at our southern border. And it also means treating criminals as they deserve to be treated.

As they have done with the word “racism,” the left—aided and abetted by the likes of the SPLC—has turned “hate” into a near-meaningless word. Much of what the SPLC labels as “hate” is merely opposition to the Democrat Party’s immoral agenda.

Though they once stood for something decent, today the SPLC is nothing more than a group of truth-hating well-heeled leftist shills who operate to further the agenda of the Democrat Party. They deserve no one’s attention or money.

The Jan. 6 “Insurrection” vs. the Numerous Subversions of the American Left

With House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s release of thousands of hours of Capitol surveillance video footage to Tucker Carlson, and Carlson’s subsequent airing of the footage on his popular FOX News show, it’s more clear now than ever: What the American left did to Trump, on COVID, on crime (especially the ANTIFA/BLM riots), at the border, and the like, was FAR worse than anything that occurred at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

After Tucker began airing newly released Jan. 6 footage on Tucker Carlson Tonight on Monday (3/6/2023) of last week, the next day, Ben Shapiro summarized well what we learned:

The reaction to January 6^th was to throw Donald Trump off all social media; it was to paint all republicans as rioters…it turns out, even a huge majority of the people who were at the Capitol, and in the Capitol that day, were not in fact rioters. And then it became the global pretext for the “attack on democracy” routine from the globalized left…What you heard from the left was that January 6^th was just as important inflection point in American history as, for example, September 11^th when three thousand Americans were murdered…What we heard is that all of American politics had to be recapitulated around this signal inflection point, this signal moment in American history. As it turns out from a lot of the footage, the media accounts were in fact exaggerated…[W]hat the footage that Tucker showed last night showed, is that some of the narratives that we were told were just flat out wrong, they were flat out lies…[T]he media decided that the threat to democracy was far graver that what actually happened on January 6^th. Remember, we were told that democracy was nearly overthrown on January 6^th. That was nonsense. …

As Tucker Carlson, himself noted, “The footage does not show an insurrection or a riot in progress. Instead, it shows police escorting protesters through the building, including the now infamous ‘QAnon Shaman.’”

Democrats continue to peddle their Jan. 6 “insurrection” lie to this day. Of course, they do this because it aids them politically, and it helps distract from their numerous domestic failures and outright political subversions that continue to plague the U.S., and have only gotten worse under the inept Biden administration.

Following his election in 2016, what was perpetrated upon Donald Trump by the Democrats and their like-minded allies in the media, the FBI, et al, can rightly be described as the “greatest political scandal” in American history. It was nothing short of an “attempted coup,” as Roger Kimball put it in February of 2019. Mr. Kimball summarizes well what happened:

On May 9 [2017], the President fires his employee, James Comey. Panic in Bureau. Scarcely a week later, the Big Boy Scout, Robert Mueller is appointed by Rod Rosenstein to be Special Counsel in charge of the Get Trump battalion. It’s a real flood the zone operation. Pre-dawn raids, full-press intimidation, careers ruined.

It’s been going on so long, and has involved so many nefarious characters in such high positions in the Obama administration and our intelligence and law enforcement services, that it is hard to keep the main fact, the overwhelming point of the episode in mind.

It is this: people in the FBI (aided and abetted by elements in the CIA and the Obama administration) decided that they didn’t like the person who had been elected President of the United States. Their anger and frustration boiled over when the President had the temerity to fire their man, James Comey. So they plotted to get rid of him.

The FBI didn’t like the President. so they plotted to remove him from office. That is the irreducible minimum, class, that you should take away from this whole sordid lesson. Top figures in the Federal Bureau of Investigation did not approve of the President. Therefore, they took steps to destroy him.

Mark Penn put it this way:

The most egregious anti-democratic actions ever taken by the what can now fairly be called the Deep State are confirmed with the publication of fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s new book detailing how the FBI and Justice Department plotted to remove President Trump from office for firing FBI Director James Comey.

Justice Department and FBI officials spied on U.S. citizens with false warrants, gave a pass to one presidential campaign with a predetermined investigation, investigated another political campaign on the basis of no verified evidence, and illegally leaked information on investigations. They discussed wiretapping and using the 25th Amendment to the Constitution to remove President Trump, and appointed a special counsel as a retaliatory move for Comey’s firing.

It is now crystal clear that the highest echelons of the Justice Department and FBI had morphed from the world’s most professional law enforcement organization into a Third World rump group.

As Daniel Greenfield well put it, “They [the Democrats] invented the Russian conspiracy, then they faked the crimes.” As their attempt to remove President Trump from office via impeachment fell apart, conveniently, COVID-19 entered the U.S. By mid-April 2020, the late, great Rush Limbaugh, as he so often did, nailed it when it came the Wuhan Virus and the Democrat Party:

Folks, look, I’m only telling you what I see. The Democrat Party wants the shutdown to go on. It’s how they benefit!...

Brutal as it may sound, partisan as it may sound, do not doubt me, please. The Democrat Party and the American left know that a continued shutdown is the only means of destroying Trump’s signature achievement. What is Trump’s signature achievement? The historic, booming economy. In three years, Trump created economic growth we haven’t seen (a lot of people) in their lifetimes.

Here comes the virus.

Here comes the shutdown.

Here comes the lockdown.

The Democrats know that keeping America shut down is the only way of destroying Trump’s number-one re-electable achievement…

…It’s now the transparent, left-wing hope that corona can do what Mueller and Schiff didn’t do.

Plain and simple, brutal as it may sound for you to hear, as strange as it may sound (and as, gosh, you wish it weren’t true), I’m telling you that as far as they are concerned, the Democrat leaders — Pelosi, Schumer, Comey, everybody, Brennan, everybody involved in this hoax to get rid of Trump — are all hoping that this virus can do what Mueller and Schiff failed to do.

In spite of Rush’s warnings, and most tellingly, in spite of the actual data, the shutdowns, lockdowns, and forced masking of Americans continued throughout 2020 and beyond. Even after weaponizing the Wuhan Virus and transforming elections throughout the U.S.—which GREATLY aided the Democrat Party in 2020—the left continued to push their numerous lies on the Wuhan Virus. Led by Joe Biden, time and again the American left lied about the Wuhan Virus, and their countless allies in media aided and abetted them.

The lockdowns never worked, masks never worked, testing never worked, COVID “protocols” in schools never worked, and the vaccine was FAR from what was promised. It is not a stretch to conclude that COVID-19 was “the largest, most sophisticated propaganda operation in history.” The resulting destruction to individual lives, businesses, our economy, our school system, and so on, can hardly be quantified. It was unprecedented destruction, and the Democrat Party led the way.

All of this, and I’ve yet to chronicle the Democrats war on police and policing, and the crime that plagues much of America. I’ve said nothing about the invasion at our southern border, that has gotten so bad that a federal judge recently stated that the Biden administration had “effectively turned the Southwest Border into a meaningless line in the sand and little more than a speedbump for aliens flooding into the country.”

Whatever happened at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, it pales in comparison to what today’s Democrats have done—and continue to do—to the United States. Shame on them! May they never again have power in America.

Never Forget the COVID Fascists

Recent weeks have made it clear that Democrats don’t know fascism, even when it is staring back at them. On fascism, the Father of Fascism, Benito Mussolini, wrote, “The foundation of Fascism is the conception of the State, its character, its duty, and its aim. Fascism conceives of the State as an absolute, in comparison with which all individuals or groups are relative, only to be conceived of in their relation to the State.”

If ever the American government viewed its authority as “absolute,” if ever individual Americans were under the notion that they were “only to be conceived of in their relation to the State,” it was shortly after COVID-19 entered the U.S. I submit to you that the COVID policies—shutdowns and lockdowns; “stay home, stay safe;” mandatory masking, social distancing, testing, and vaccines; and so on—perpetuated by the American left and those like-minded were the greatest demonstration of fascism the United States has ever known. In the nearly 250-year history of the U.S., never before has the American government exercised such power over its citizenry as it did in the name of “slowing the spread,” “following the science,” and the like. And never before in the history of the U.S. has the exercise of government power been so misinformed and misguided, with such disastrous results.

Of course, with elections looming, in an attempt to escape responsibility for their COVID tyranny, Democrats and their lackeys in the media want to blame “the pandemic,” and whenever possible, Donald Trump and the MAGA agenda. For example, last week, the American drive-by media widely reported on the “dismal learning loss” suffered by U.S. students “due to the pandemic.” The idea that “the pandemic erased two decades of progress in math and reading” was frequently parroted by said media.

Tens of millions of American students suffered far more than “learning loss” from the late winter of 2020 until now, but almost none of this was “due to the pandemic.” Rather, it was all due to a widespread foolish—and often downright evil—reaction to the pandemic.

When confronted with the national test results that revealed the scope of the “learning loss” suffered by U.S. students, “turning reality on its head,” the Biden administration pointed the finger at Trump and the GOP and said that re-opening schools “was the work of Democrats in spite of Republicans.” As Guy Benson at Townhall.com noted, this is a “brazen lie.”

Indeed, one of the political reasons that schools remained closed in Democratic areas and states for as long as they did is because President Trump called for them to be open. And because designated villains like Gov. Ron DeSantis were following the data and permitting in-person learning to resume. In an era of negative partisanship, kids were actively and needlessly hurt—with lasting deleterious impact—because politically-addicted adults didn't want [to] admit the 'wrong' sort of people were right about something. Just look at the metrics on states that opened schools first versus last. If [White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s] pathetic spin were accurate, the red states would be the holdouts.

We all know that’s not true. It’s the opposite of the truth. Conservative governors were assailed for ‘killing’ children as they made the right call, as Democrat-funding teachers unions blasted school re-openings as white supremacy, and other such insulting nonsense. They cannot run away from their policies, and they cannot run away from their words. 

While the school—and the many school-related activity—shutdowns across the U.S. were tragic, the effects of foolish and unnecessary COVID policies on small American businesses were even worse. “Learning loss” can be recovered. Tens of thousands of small businesses destroyed due to the COVID lockdowns and shutdowns will never return. Barely six months into our COVID hysteria—as I noted in November of 2020—it was clear that fascist government policies were devastating small businesses throughout the U.S. As I noted at the time,

In spite of the science and the months of real-time data that proved it unnecessary, the left has persisted with shutting down businesses and churches. As a result of these state-enforced lockdowns, hundreds of thousands of small businesses in the U.S. have shut down—many of them permanently so.

Data from late September show that between March 1 and August 31, a total of 163,735 businesses on Yelp—which is especially representative of small businesses—closed. According to Yelp, about 60 percent of these businesses (nearly 98,000) will never reopen. The Yelp data reveals that small restaurants and retail stores have been hit particularly hard. It has made zero sense that Walmart, Target, Home Depot—none of whom were requiring masks as late as middle July—and the like have been allowed to remain open, while your local diner, gun store, or gym was forced to close.

By June of 2021, COVID shutdowns and lockdowns had destroyed nearly 40% of U.S. small businesses. As Pajamas Media reported at the time,

While bureaucrats gave Walmart, Costco, Lowe’s, and other big-box stores “essential” status, allowing them to stay open during the COVID pandemic, 38.9% of America’s small businesses, the providers of most of the country’s jobs, were forced to close based on fear, hackneyed social-distancing rules, early ignorance about transmission, and an insatiable desire by governors to micromanage the affairs of men.

Nothing says “micromanaging the affairs of men” like forcing men (and women, and children) to take medicine they don’t want or don’t need. Shortly after COVID-19 began to spread, the rush and the race for a vaccine was on. When the so-called “vaccines” were announced, government throughout the U.S. could hardly contain their desire to enact “vaccine” mandates. We were constantly told that the COVID “vaccines” would actually do what vaccines do: prevent one from getting what one is vaccinated against.

In early 2021, Dr. Anthony Fauci said that the COVID “vaccines” provide “a 94 to 95 percent efficacy in preventing clinically recognizable disease.” In a July, 2021 townhall, Joe Biden himself said, “You’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations.” Natural immunity was all but ignored, and these deceptions were repeated, or implied, ad-nauseum. Those bent towards totalitarianism were eager to create “vaccine” mandates.

These mandates had deadly results. Hospital staff shortages were created, all-cause mortality exploded among many groups, and once new COVID variants arose, the world’s most “vaccinated” countries showed shockingly high COVID infection rates. We were told that unless populations were sufficiently “vaccinated,” a “pandemic of the unvaccinated” would result. Instead, a “pandemic of the vaccinated” developed.

The cost of the American left’s COVID fascism was not only measured in trillions of dollars lost, but countless sickness and death as well. Never forget the COVID fascists who for far too long plagued America. Most certainly remember them when it comes time to vote. If we don’t hold them accountable—and most importantly, remove them from power—I can almost guarantee you that they will do this again when the next “crisis” arrives.
