Still No Answers
It’s been six weeks since the assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. Six weeks and there are still virtually no answers. The only new development is that at least five Secret Service agents were put on leave.
There are reports that the FBI has been able to gain access to two of the three encrypted accounts on the shooter’s phone. If that’s true, why aren’t we getting more information?
Sen. Ron Johnson blasted the Secret Service and the FBI for “dragging their feet” and “stonewalling” the congressional investigation into the attempted assassination of the former president.
“We’re not getting squat,” Johnson said during a recent Fox News interview, adding that what little information they are getting is so redacted that it is totally useless. Johnson declared:
“If you want to design an investigation to raise suspicions and drive conspiracy theories, this is exactly how you do that investigation. It was just jaw-dropping that they released the body for cremation before anybody’s seen any autopsy or toxicology reports. It’s just driving suspicion and conspiracy theories.”
Sadly, Senator Johnson is right.
What could be in any document regarding the attempt on Trump’s life by a deranged 20 year-old that is so sensitive? Who are they hiding it from? Elected officials? The American people?
In addition, Senator Josh Hawley says that new whistleblowers claim that the Secret Service leadership explicitly told their field agents handling the Butler rally not to request additional support.
This is totally ridiculous. And it is proof that the biggest danger to America right now is the Deep State.
By the way, the shooter’s parents, who are economically challenged, just hired lawyers from Quinn Logue, one of the top-ranked law firms in the state of Pennsylvania. Who’s paying for that?
More Censorship
Hillsdale College is one of the finest actual colleges in America today. It is a true institution of higher learning, committed to teaching students the truth, not leftist propaganda.
Appropriately for our times, Hillsdale just launched a new course on the realities of repressive ideologies, including Marxism, communism, and socialism. Ironically, but not surprisingly given our times, Facebook once again demonstrated its own repressive ideology and immediately took down Hillsdale’s online course page.
The page was restored after nearly four days of objections and public pressure from Hillsdale. Of course, Facebook claimed it was an innocent mistake, just another hiccup in the algorithms. But these “mistakes” always go in one direction – they punish conservatives and protect the left.
A perfect example of the battle that is being waged every day to shut down free speech and open debate, the very rights our constitutional Republic depends on to survive.
Department Of Homeland Stupidity
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was created in the wake of 9/11 – the worst attack on American soil. As the name implies, its mission is to protect our country and keep us safe. Under the Biden administration, it is failing in multiple ways, most obviously by failing to secure the border.
That, of course, is a decision driven purely by left-wing ideological nonsense. And like most government agencies under the control of the far-left Biden regime, the Department of Homeland Security is infected with ideological nonsense. Here’s the latest example.
DHS recently released its Information Technology Strategic Plan for the next four years. Given the flood of gang members, criminal aliens, and foreign terrorists coming across the border, a better screening system might be a top priority.
Or, given the shocking news that the Biden administration has lost 300,000 migrant children, one might expect a top priority would be developing a system to ensure that the government has the capacity to track and protect these kids. (This from the party that claims it is “all about the children.”)
But neither of those critically important issues topped the list of technology upgrades at DHS. Instead of something useful, something that makes sense, the top technology priority at the Department of Homeland Security is DEI – diversity, equity, and inclusion.
So, DHS is going to push DEI over the next four years, all in an effort to tie the hands of the next conservative administration. That’s not going to protect our homeland. If anything, this waste of taxpayer resources will make us less safe.
Faith Under Siege
Left-wing Minnesota bureaucrats just finalized new regulations for teachers in the state. Beginning in July 2025, prospective teachers must “affirm” transgenderism and Marxist critical race theory in order to get a teaching license in the North Star State.
This is just another example of the left’s obsession with exposing children at the earliest possible age to LGBTQ propaganda and indoctrinating the next generation.
The practical impact of these regulations is that it will be very difficult, if not impossible, for a believing Christian or Muslim to teach in Minnesota’s public schools. By the way, the left is adamantly opposed to any school choice program that would give parents options if they don’t want their children indoctrinated in the classroom.
The neo-Marxists are pushing these radical regulations in the name of “tolerance,” but they don’t want you to be able to escape their indoctrination. How’s that for tolerance? It fits perfectly with the left’s intolerant demands that we must celebrate the LGBTQ agenda and lifestyle.
If challenged in court, I think there is a 50/50 chance that these regulations will be struck down by the Supreme Court. But keep in mind that this is only possible because Donald Trump appointed three justices to fill three Supreme Court vacancies, giving us the strongest majority for religious liberty in the past 50 years.
