Biden Celebrates Fascism

The Biden White House raised plenty of eyebrows yesterday when it announced that it had invited the “Tennessee Three” – state Representatives Justin Jones, Justin Pearson and Gloria Johnson – to the White House next week to celebrate their efforts to stop the business of the state legislature in the wake of a mass shooting at a Nashville Christian school.

You may recall that these individuals led a mini-riot in the Tennessee capitol demanding more “gun control” legislation. Jones and Pearson were subsequently expelled for grossly violating the regular rules of order, without which a legislative body cannot function.

Not surprisingly, the Biden White House has not extended any invitations to the Christian families who were victims of that heinous hate crime committed by a transgender assassin. That’s an outrage by itself, and another indication of the Biden Administration’s hostility toward faith. 

But here’s the bigger issue. 

At the same time the Biden regime is still hunting down people for interrupting the decorum of Congress on January 6th, it is actively encouraging leftist disruptions of conservative state legislatures by celebrating the “Tennessee Three” at the White House!

In the immediate aftermath of January 6th, the Deep State warned that unknown right-wing groups were plotting to breach state capitols in the days leading up to Biden’s inauguration. Numerous governors issued emergency declarations, called out the National Guard and sealed off their capitol buildings.

Nothing happened. There were no such demonstrations.  

But in recent days, multiple “insurrections” at conservative state capitols were carried out by the neo-Marxist left, cheered on by the media and, evidently, the Biden White House.

After January 6th, we were told that sitting members of Congress conspired with the demonstrators who breached the Capitol Building. That was a lie. But the “Tennessee Three” not only conspired with the demonstrators, they led them!

The left owns academia, our public schools and college campuses. It owns Hollywood and the popular culture. It owns the “mainstream” media. It owns social media. It also wants to own the streets. But Donald Trump’s ability to bring out tens of thousands of patriotic Americans at his huge rallies terrifies the left. 

Before Hitler took power, Nazi and communist thugs routinely fought brutal battles for control of the streets in Germany’s Weimar Republic. Each side insisted on intimidating and silencing the other. It was important to Hitler to own the streets, just like it is important to today’s neo-Marxist, fascist forces to own the streets of America.

Free Speech Under Siege

In related news, the James Madison University Debate Team is publicly denouncing an upcoming speech by conservative activist Liz Wheeler on the JMU campus. 

Now, you’d think the debate team at the university bearing the name of the “Father of the Constitution” would be an ardent proponent of free speech, but no. Because Wheeler intends to shine a spotlight on the insanity of transgenderism, the JMU Debate Team wants her silenced.

James Madison must be rolling over in his grave!

I’ve said it before, but it’s worth repeating again: If fascism ever comes to America, it will come not from the right, but from the increasingly intolerant and violent neo-Marxist left.

Biden Family Corruption

An IRS whistleblower has come forward alleging that the IRS and Justice Department are providing preferential treatment to a “politically connected subject,” widely assumed to be Hunter Biden. The whistleblower also alleges that a “senior political appointee” – believed to be Attorney General Merrick Garland – misled Congress about the investigation.

This information comes in the form of a letter from the whistleblower’s lawyer that was delivered yesterday to Democrat and Republican leaders of key congressional oversight committees. 

The letter identifies the whistleblower as a “career IRS Criminal Supervisory Special Agent,” and states that the whistleblower has already made “protected disclosures” to the Treasury Department’s inspector general and the Justice Department’s inspector general.

Responding to this breaking news, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer tweeted, “The Biden Administration may be obstructing justice by blocking efforts to charge Hunter Biden for tax evasion.”

Almost immediately after the 2020 election, Hunter Biden admitted that he was under criminal investigation. But nothing has happened in the years since. This investigation has been going on for far too long, and we all know why. 

Deep State operatives worked overtime to elect Joe Biden, and now they’re working to protect Joe Biden.

By the way, it was recently revealed that the infamous letter from dozens of “national security experts” dismissing Hunter Biden’s laptop as “Russian disinformation” was in fact coordinated by the Biden campaign. 

This revelation came in testimony from former Obama CIA Director Mike Morell before the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.

These experts weren’t merely offering their “unbiased” opinion for the benefit of the American electorate. This was a deliberate political effort to shut down the laptop story to influence the outcome of the election, just like Hillary’s “Russian collusion hoax” was a deliberate political effort to undermine the 2016 election.

Big Media and Big Tech eagerly complied by suppressing the laptop story then, and they are complying today by suppressing these latest revelations, too.

Deep Divisions

Two votes in the House and the Senate in the past 24 hours have highlighted the deep divisions that persist on values issues.

Last night the Senate voted 48-to-51 against a measure preventing the Veterans Administration from spending taxpayer dollars on a new policy that promotes and provides abortions. 

Every Democrat but one (Manchin) voted for the pro-abortion policy, while every Republican but two (Collins and Murkowski) voted against it.

This morning, the House of Representatives passed legislation to protect girls’ sports from boys who claim to be girls. Every House Republican voted for the bill, while every House Democrat voted against it.

These are not controversial issues. Both bills should have passed by wide margins. The American people overwhelmingly oppose taxpayer-funding of abortion and boys forcing themselves onto girls’ sports teams and into girls’ locker rooms.

Nevertheless, so-called “progressive” politicians continue to be out-of-step with the American people. But I doubt you’ll hear about it on the evening news broadcasts. 

2024 Update

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., formally launched his presidential campaign yesterday. A USA Today poll of Democrat primary voters finds Kennedy already registering a surprising 14%, with Biden at 67%. Author Marianne Williamson is at 5%, and 13% are undecided. 

On the GOP side, Francis Suarez, the mayor of Miami, Florida, is signaling he may jump into the race. That would mean three candidates from Florida would be seeking the nomination. We already have two candidates from South Carolina. 

Suarez was on Fox News this morning, and when prompted to distinguish himself from the other candidates, he surprisingly went after Gov. Ron DeSantis.
