Rhetoric coming from the media and the Biden administration, for which media is doing CYA duty, is attacking conservatives from every angle conceivable.
Misrepresenting the power struggle the House has undergone over the last month has shifted to verbally disparaging the new speaker, calling Mike Johnson a Christo-fascist (whatever that is), and a spokesman for the “fringe” of the republican party. But who are the real “fringe” operatives that have overtaken a political party?
The extreme “fringe” are the Marxists that have seized control of the democrat party, not conservative republicans who follow the party platform. Election deniers (another appellation progressives have attached to “MAGA Mike” and those acknowledging proof of voter fraud) are, and always have been, democrats. Conservatives depend on the evidence that Biden stole the 2020 election. The uniparty are the deniers, the election thieves. The “minoritarian vanguard” (talk about torturing the English language) doesn’t apply to conservatives who make up voter majority, but the radical minority that’s usurped government over the last decades--the corrupt, authoritarian elected office holders and administrative agencies.
Then there’s the baseless lawsuit in Colorado where the secretary of state and her comrades are set on blocking Donald Trump’s name from appearing on the ballot come 2024. In the opening statement, the court jesters (aka petitioners) presented an entertaining production with flashy J6 video that, however hard they tried, could not demonstrate direct connection between a tweet by President Trump and actions by a crowd that got out of control. Why? Because incitement to enter the Capitol came from inside the crowd, spurred by federal agent infiltrators and provocateurs.
Statements the petitioners made in their opening were based on hearsay, legal hyperbole, and complete fabrication: 1) They continually characterized unarmed protesters, and a few violent dust-ups (most involving law enforcement overreaction) as an insurrection on January 6, 2021; 2) They ignored the fact that Speaker Pelosi and D.C. Mayor Bowser refused National Guard support offered by President Trump days ahead of the Ellipse Rally, as Kash Patel testified under oath.
One of the oddest statements made in the petitioners’ opening was: 3) They bestowed the title of “expert” to individuals who have composed books on subjects they would testify about on the witness stand. However, it’s not common practice to assume unassailable authority on a subject, such as constitutional law, on the basis of publishing one or more instructive tomes.
If writing a book about the application of the Constitution makes one an expert, then tens of thousands of citizens of this nation could be classified as experts (this author included). Of all the specious arguments that could be made, the court jesters contorting the truth before the ruler’s throne, disavowing First Amendment rights of free speech that don’t meet their pretentious standards, have made themselves fools indeed.

The judge, unable to disguise her disdain for Donald Trump, may overlook the lack of evidence and accept the court antics to paint him a sower of sedition, notwithstanding the petitioners’ inability to make a believable case.
Returning to the new speaker… he managed to do what he said, passing $14.3 billion in support for Israel by redirecting the cash from 87,000 new IRS agents hired to fleece working stiffs.
The resultant media and democrat attack was two-fold. The first salvo was trying to blame Speaker Johnson for the stand-off Senator Schumer had already instigated by saying the bill is DOA since it doesn’t include payoffs to Ukraine, and other pork. According to the obstructionist democrats, it will be Johnson’s fault that Israel may not get support, though it’s Senate dems who vow to block the funding.
The folly amplified with the White House and media complaining that the money the House bill takes from the IRS to fund Israel’s defense will keep the feds from chasing millionaire tax cheats, who must pay more so the dems can pour more into the Ukraine money pit.
To top it all, not one of these “concerned” officials have offered lip service to the one issue that is paramount in American citizens’ mind, and, no, it’s not the “danger” of islamophobia, V.P. Harris, a jester of the highest order.
It is, however, the crisis of approximately eight million illegals that the Biden administration has trafficked (at the 19:00 mark), and continues to traffic more every day, into the United States. Marxist-run cities are so bankrupted by the onslaught of illegally transported foreign individuals, who the administration refers to as “migrants,” they are demanding $5 billion in federal aid to deal with the mess.
While media and politicians distract the public with fallacious debacles and enemies--government shutdowns, underfunded government agencies, “harmless” migrants, and the threat of a Trump candidacy--the open border may very well have welcomed terrorists, possibly harboring them next door to suburban families.
The danger posed by millions of military-aged men being ushered into communities all across the nation by the feds and taxpayer supported NGOs, takes precedence over the political rhetoric filling the airwaves and internet channels.
Amid all this orchestrated demise of our economy and invasion of our neighborhoods, Tom Keene, on “Bloomberg Surveillance,” said he read former CIA Director Robert Gates’ words and had to query what citizens would think of them, “Politicians have to educate America.”
It’s the other way around, and that was proven in the removal of McCarthy as speaker of the House. His subsequent replacement, Mike Johnson, is beginning his tenure by listening to the citizens, saying he will take the administrative government to task, starting by separating out funding initiatives and cutting spending.
If Johnson fulfills his role the way he promised, it will be the proper approach to governance: “America has to educate politicians.” That’s the only way this nation will survive.
