Biden’s Police State
One of the primary “markers” of totalitarian regimes is monitoring/spying on citizens and intimidating political opponents. (See below.) We know the Biden/Harris regime employed those tactics against conservative parents and churches. Over the weekend, we learned they were also spying on individuals who served in the first Trump administration.
One of those individuals is Dan Scavino, who currently serves as White House deputy chief of staff. He posted a message Friday night saying that sometime in mid to late December 2024, he got this email from Google:
“Google received and responded to a legal process issued by the Federal Bureau of Investigation compelling the release of information related to your Google account. A court order previously prohibited Google from notifying you of the legal process…”
Scavino continued:
“I’ve never shared this—but this is a small taste of the INSANITY that many of us went through—right here in the United States of America. LAWFARE at its finest. A Complete and Total Disgrace!!!!!”
It turns out he wasn’t the only Trump administration figure Biden’s FBI was spying on. FBI Director Kash Patel and Acting Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs Jeff Clark both said they got similar messages.
This is yet more evidence of how the Left is the real threat to our constitutional Republic. Leftists abused their power to trample on the rights of their political opponents.
It may also explain why we have gotten so many panicked articles from the fake news media about “career officials” at the FBI and Justice Department being forced out or fired. If they were involved in unconstitutional spying, they should be fired!
Left-wing Intolerance
The Left’s growing intolerance of traditional conservative opinions and even normalcy itself is leading the so-called “progressive” movement down the path of creeping (and creepy) authoritarianism. Elements of the federal government saw conservative Catholics as “domestic terrorists.” And it’s not just the federal government.
The Massachusetts Municipal Police Training Committee is responsible for training more than 20,000 police officers in the Bay State. Unfortunately, some of what the committee is teaching police officers is total garbage.
The Massachusetts Municipal Police Training Committee has labeled Moms For Liberty as a “hate group.” Why? According to the committee, Moms For Liberty uses “parents’ rights as a vehicle to attack public education and make schools less welcoming for minority and LGBTQ students.”
What’s the proof for that outrageous claim? The committee cites the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a left-wing hate group that itself smears conservative organizations and Christian ministries.
Moms For Liberty is not “attacking” public education, and it’s not making schools hostile to “minority and LGBTQ students.” It’s trying to improve public education by getting neo-Marxist indoctrination and homosexual ideology out of our schools so those schools can focus on the educational basics.
But in the fevered minds of SPLC radicals, you must be 110% in agreement with the left-wing teachers’ unions, fully on board with the idea that there are dozens of genders, and support your child being able to choose his own pronouns at school, or you’re a Nazi.
This kind of intolerant, demonizing rhetoric leads many leftists to conclude that if they’re fighting “literal Nazis,” then the ends justify the means—whether it’s unjustified government surveillance and suppression of free speech or violence in the streets.
On The Run
Democrats in the Texas state legislature fled the state last night under the cover of darkness. Some went to Illinois, while others went to Massachusetts and New York, where they were given a hero’s welcome by left-wing politicians in each state.
These cowards fled Texas rather than stay and do their jobs because Republicans were ready to pass a new congressional redistricting plan. The new map reportedly would flip five existing House seats from Democrat to Republican, potentially helping the GOP maintain control of the House of Representatives after next year’s midterm elections.
But by leaving the state, Democrats effectively shut down the legislature by preventing the presence of a quorum, or the minimum number of legislators needed to conduct business.
For Democrats to cry “Foul” over redistricting brings new meaning to the phrase “the pot calling the kettle black.”
Democrat states are heavily gerrymandered. In California, Republicans only have 17% of the state’s House seats, even though Republicans get about 40% of the vote statewide. It’s the same in New York, where Democrats control 73% of the state’s House seats.
And there is the most outrageous cheating of all—the counting of illegal aliens to determine the number of House seats a state gets.
Texas Democrats have abandoned their jobs before. They did it in 2021 in protest of election integrity legislation. They did it in 2003 to block a redistricting plan.
Democrat legislators in Minnesota and Wisconsin have also boycotted legislative sessions to prevent a quorum. Democrats like Sen. Cory Booker and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries have “filibustered” to delay the business of Congress.
All this from the party that claims to be defending “democracy,” when in fact they are shutting democracy down.
Do Your Job
No one likes lazy employees who refuse to show up for work, especially Texas Governor Greg Abbott. He has ordered Democrat legislators to return by 3:00 p.m. today. If they don’t return, he is fining them $500 a day every day they are gone, and those fines must be paid from their personal bank accounts.
It is illegal to use campaign funds to pay the fines, and they will be charged with bribery if they solicit donors to help pay the fines. In addition, Abbott is threatening to expel them from office.
“These Democrats have absconded from their responsibility,” Abbott said. “I believe they have forfeited their seats in the state legislature because they are not doing the job they were elected to do.”
Abbott is right. They have a job to do, whether they like it or not.
Left-wing Blue state governors are threatening to retaliate with their own redistricting plans, but their hands may be tied.
Many Blue states took redistricting away from the legislature and gave that power to so-called “independent commissions” that almost always lean left. But these independent commissions are only legally permitted to redraw congressional districts after the 10-year census.
That means they can’t act until 2031 without first passing a constitutional amendment to change the redistricting process.
Misplaced Priorities
A prayer vigil was held outside of “Alligator Alcatraz” this weekend by the usual suspects, including leftist Unitarian Universalists and representatives of indigenous people. One flier advertising the event urged people to “witness against the inhumane and unconstitutional treatment of our neighbors.” The speakers condemned the facility, which they said was built to jail immigrants.
The people held at Alligator Alcatraz are not “our neighbors.” Nor are they just “immigrants.” They are in the country illegally, and some are really bad people.
But these illegal aliens—murderers, child rapists, and gang members—are getting more “love” and support from some so-called “progressive Christians” than innocent preborn children have ever gotten from these same church leaders.
When other Christians have held prayer vigils outside of abortion mills, they are condemned for trying to “force their religion on everyone else.” In some cases, they have actually been put in jail.
I don’t recall any vigils by these “progressive Christians” for the victims of criminal illegal aliens. There was no candlelight vigil outside of the Biden White House in honor of Americans who were killed, raped, or had their jobs or identities stolen by illegal aliens.
