BREAKING NEWS: House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer just issued subpoenas to Bill and Hillary Clinton (among others), seeking depositions about their dealings with Jeffrey Epstein. Comer also subpoenaed the Justice Department for any records related to the Epstein case.
Lock Them Up
It’s been said that the wheels of justice turn slowly. When it comes to the Russia collusion hoax, the wheels of justice are indeed turning, and they seem to be picking up speed. Here’s what has already happened since Trump administration officials began declassifying intelligence reports related to attempts by the Deep State and its allies to overturn President Trump’s 2016 victory:
-
Former Obama CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey have been referred to the Justice Department for possible criminal prosecution.
-
Former Special Counsel Jack Smith is under investigation.
-
Former Obama Director of National Intelligence James Clapper is “lawyering up.”
Late yesterday afternoon, news broke that Attorney General Pam Bondi formally ordered a grand jury investigation into the Russia collusion hoax.
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that yesterday’s grand jury announcement comes on the heels of the Senate confirming President Trump’s first U.S. attorney nominee over the weekend. Jason Reding Quinones was confirmed Saturday to be the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida.
If Quinones is the federal prosecutor leading the Russia hoax grand jury investigation, that most likely means that the Department of Justice is moving forward with a “grand conspiracy” investigation. That’s an important move.
If the Justice Department is treating all of the Deep State’s anti-Trump activities from 2016 through 2024, including the 2022 FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, as one “grand conspiracy,” that means they don’t have to worry about the statute of limitations. Each conspiratorial action restarts them!
And because the outrageous Mar-a-Lago raid occurred in Florida, the government can empanel a grand jury in the Sunshine State instead of Democrat-dominated Washington, D.C.
America Last
Over the weekend, Marxists and socialists gathered in Mexico City for a far-left summit. It was sponsored by the Progressive International. In their own words, here is what the Progressive International believes:
-
“We aspire to eradicate capitalism everywhere.”
-
“Linguistic barriers [national languages] strengthen class domination, white supremacy, and indigenous dispossession.”
-
“We recognize that white supremacy is an organizing principle of the world system.”
-
“Our demand is full reparations for past crimes [of colonization] and the immediate restoration of land, resources, and sovereignty to all the dispossessed peoples of the world.”
-
“Our aim is to break with the patriarchy while disrupting the binary structure of gender on which it relies.”
This is clearly a group that embraces a revolutionary Marxist agenda. It wants to destroy America, the traditional nuclear family, and capitalism. No American should have anything to do with such a radical event.
But so-called “progressive Democrats” were there, including Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. Incredibly, however, they’re not the ones making headlines for disloyalty to our country.
At the summit’s opening ceremony, Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL), who is married to an illegal alien, declared, “I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American.”
Rep. Ramirez took an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States.” By declaring her loyalty is to Guatemala over America, I believe she violated her oath of office.
An elected official admitting her loyalty is to another country before America is unacceptable! Sadly, proclaiming loyalty to another country does not politically hurt these radical leftists. They are representing areas of the country where such anti-American sentiment runs high.
Ilhan Omar’s district was a hotbed of radical Islamic jihadist recruitment. Clearly, many people in her district don’t love America.
Unfortunately, Omar, Ramirez, and Tlaib are representing many of their voters. The question is why are we allowing so many people who are not loyal to the United States and who don’t share our values into the United States? And why is the Democrat Party so committed to open borders and doing everything possible to prevent illegal aliens from being removed?
The Department of Homeland Security responded to Rep. Ramirez’s anti-Americanism with a quote from Teddy Roosevelt:
“There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. . . Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance.”
The Left’s New Litmus Test
More than a dozen congressional Democrats just sent a letter to President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio demanding that the United States recognize a Palestinian state. To what end? Ruled by who? Such an independent sate has never existed!
There was operationally a Palestinian state before October 7, 2023. The people of Gaza freely elected their own leaders. But in their seething hatred for Israel, they elected the jihadists of Hamas as their leaders. Predictably, Hamas would end up ruling any so-called “Palestinian state.”
But this letter is just another example of the Democrat Party’s growing hostility toward Israel. In fact, hatred of Israel is rapidly becoming the Democrat Party’s new litmus test.
There’s no debate in the Democrat Party about abortion. They’re all for it. There’s no debate about open borders. They’re all for it. There’s no debate about transgender ideology. They’re all for it.
But there is a raging debate among Democrats about how much, if at all, they should support Israel, fight antisemitism, and resist the demands of radical Islamism. Last week, for the first time ever, a majority of Senate Democrats voted to impose an arms embargo on Israel.
The rift in the party is clear. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are not “moderates.” But they are struggling to deal with Zohran Mamdani because they know exactly where their young progressive base stands—and it’s not with Israel.
Sadly, however, this drift in the Democrat Party away from Israel and toward Islam has major implications for the United States and Western Civilization.
Noonan’s Nonsense
I recently stumbled on Peggy Noonan’s latest Wall Street Journal column. I wish I hadn’t.
Noonan begs the Trump administration to stop arresting illegal aliens at workplace enforcement operations. She says the American people won’t stand for such a “grave moral and political mistake.”
Noonan claims that America is “about work.” Well, communist China values work, too. So much so, they have forced labor camps.
Yes, work is good. But America represents more than toil. First and foremost is the rule of law, along with secure borders and protecting our sovereignty.
Noonan writes, “It is wicked to remove a man or woman from an honest job. And we aren’t a wicked people.”
No, we’re not wicked. That’s why we generously accept so many legal immigrants every year. But if an illegal alien is working in this country, it means they took a job away from an American citizen. In many cases, they stole someone’s ID to get the job.
Sometimes, it’s difficult to remember that Noonan once wrote speeches for Ronald Reagan. Please, Peggy, put down your pen.
Leftist Logic
Media elites and the DC Swamp erupted last week when President Trump fired the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), who was appointed by Joe Biden. He fired her because BLS statistics on job growth have become unreliable. As a result, policymakers are making decisions based on faulty information.
For example, Federal Reserve Chairman Jay Powell last month cited strong job growth as a reason for keeping interest rates high. Those high rates are hurting the housing market and making it harder for us to finance the U.S. debt. But later, the BLS claimed “revisions” showed there really hasn’t been much job growth at all. The revisions were gigantic. They erased 90% of the jobs!
Defenders of the bureaucracy blasted Trump for firing the commissioner, claiming that it’s impossible for anyone to manipulate the economic data. Yet when President Trump was on CNBC this morning, he was asked how anyone could trust the BLS once he appoints his person.
Well, either the numbers can be manipulated or they can’t. If they can’t be manipulated, then liberals have no reason to question the numbers they get from Trump’s BLS commissioner!
Death Of The West
Is Western Civilization becoming a suicide cult?
I have to wonder after seeing pictures of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at a recent Pride parade. The prime minister is shaking hands and hugging a virtually naked man in the middle of a public street. Carney told the crowd that “pride” represents the “essence of Canada.”
Commentator Mark Steyn notes that Canada doesn’t just have a Pride month that ends in June. Canada “celebrates” the LGBTQ crowd for an entire “season” that spans several months.
That tells you a lot about the priorities and values of our northern neighbors.
Led by people like Mark Carney, Emmanuel Macron, and Keir Starmer, Western nations celebrate perversion while their birthrates are crashing. Europe’s cradles and churches are empty, but their mosques are full as the avalanche of Third World migrants, mostly Muslims, continues unabated.
