Email from American Values Plus, resistance war games.   Fighting For Faith, Family & Freedom Wednesday, November 13, 2024 To: Friends & Supporters From: Gary Bauer COUNTDOWN TO TRUMP’S INAUGURATION: 68 DAYS Trump Returns President-elect Donald Trump returned to the White House today for a meeting with President Joe Biden. There are reports that the “most important issue” Biden pressed Trump on was continuing the failed policy in Ukraine. That’s what Biden sees as his legacy -- another no-win war, costing untold billions, and risking nuclear war while never doing enough to actually win. Meanwhile, the Washington establishment is upset because Melania Trump didn’t come to Washington to have tea with DOCTOR Jill Biden. I even had a Christian friend say to me that Melania’s rejection of the invitation was inappropriate because we should forgive people. You forgive people when they acknowledge they have wronged you. Jill Biden and her husband sent armed agents to raid Melania’s house and rummage through her underwear. They called her husband a “Nazi.” They tried to bankrupt him and to put him in jail. They failed to provide him with the necessary protection at Butler, Pennsylvania. Thankfully, God protected him. Jill Biden should be thankful Melania didn’t have tea with her today. It could have gotten ugly! Trump’s Picks President-elect Trump announced more high-profile appointments to his new administration. They are: Pete Hegseth -- Secretary of Defense Matt Gaetz -- Attorney General William McGinley -- White House counsel Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard -- Director of National Intelligence Former Rep. John Ratcliffe -- CIA Director Steven Witkoff -- Middle East Envoy Trump also announced that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will lead a special commission on Government Efficiency. Responding to the announcement, Musk posted on X, “Threat to democracy? Nope, threat to BUREAUCRACY!!!” I was thinking recently about how we would be feeling with every announcement of a new neo-Marxist nominated by Kamala Harris. It must be very hard for the ideologues on the left. I feel no sympathy for them. In fact, if pro-abortion activists and radicals who want to expose six year-olds to drag queens are having a bad week, I am going to celebrate and thank God. Personnel Is Policy To the best of my knowledge, every major appointment Trump has made so far is pro-life. If Harris had won, all these positions would have been filled by pro-abortion, pro-transgender radicals who would spend the next four years using every lever of power they have to force their extreme agenda on the rest of us. So, again, to the Christians who said, “Don’t vote,” and those in “Evangelicals for Harris,” I have to ask: What were you thinking? In the area of foreign policy, every Trump nominee believes in peace through strength. They are totally committed to the U.S.-Israel alliance, and they have records of fighting antisemitism wherever it raises its ugly head. By the way, we’re learning more about the political miracle Donald Trump accomplished on November 5th. A huge number of young black men voted for Trump. And the toughest guy on the border essentially split the Hispanic vote with open borders Kalama. In addition, Trump made big gains among Jewish voters. The more observant the Jewish voter is, the more likely they were to vote for Donald Trump. Jewish communities in Brooklyn and towns with large Jewish populations in other parts of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania rejected the Democrat Party and went all in for Trump. A Real Hero Of all the appointments Trump has made so far, the one that is driving the left most insane is the nomination of Pete Hegseth as secretary of Defense. Here’s the Washington Post’s headline: “Trump Taps Fox Host Hegseth For Defense Secretary.” Wall Street elites were shocked by the news of Hegseth’s nomination. Many said they had never heard of him before. And that’s the problem. They only know what the left-wing media tells them. Hegseth is definitely an “outside-the-box” choice. But that’s exactly what is needed to reform the Pentagon bureaucracy. Pete Hegseth is a real hero. He joined the Army ROTC when he was in college. He was a junior at Princeton University when the 9/11 attacks happened. (He also earned a master’s degree from Harvard.) As an Ivy League graduate, he could have taken any job he wanted. Instead, he was fighting for America. He did tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and served at Guantanamo Bay. He was awarded the Bronze Star twice and the Army Commendation Medal twice. He achieved the rank of major in the Army National Guard and has been a strong advocate for veterans. However, if Hegseth is confirmed by the Senate, his service at the Pentagon will be the toughest tour of his career. Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth will want to move quickly to get woke leftist policies, like DEI and the insanity of thinking that loving God and loving America is a threat to the country, out of the Pentagon and the service academies. (See next item.) In fact, Hegseth wrote an entire book about it. But the leftist lunacy will creep right back in the next time we lose an election unless we get rid of hyper-politicized flag officers who are more interested in fighting the culture war than they are in fighting the enemies of the United States. Thankfully, there is a developing plan to do just that! It needs to happen because our men and women in uniform are increasingly losing confidence in their leadership, and it’s hurting recruitment. When it happens, the left will have an absolute meltdown. Dozens of military officials will rush to the cameras, claiming that Donald Trump is decapitating the men and women who keep us safe when he’s really getting rid of the idiotic policies that put us all at risk. It is going to be a brutal battle. By the way, I almost forgot the most important detail in Hegseth’s biography: He was an intern at the Family Research Council back when I ran it around 2000. Smeared For His Faith Pete Hegseth was in the National Guard on January 6, 2021. Days later, his unit was called up to guard Joe Biden’s inauguration. As he was getting ready to deploy, Hegseth’s commanding officer told him he wasn’t needed. Why not? Someone discovered that Hegseth has a tattoo of a Jerusalem cross, a Christian symbol, on his chest. They reported it, and he was labeled a “white extremist.” This is the insanity that has infected the United States military and defense establishment of this country. It is notable and disturbing that there were not more whistleblowers in the Pentagon during the Biden years. Resistance War Games Rosa Brooks is a former Obama official and Georgetown law professor. Working with a Soros-funded group, Brooks organized a series of war games in the spring. They weren’t focused on battles with foreign enemies. No, these war games were focused on destroying conservatives here in America. The war games were conducted to find out which tactics will work and which won’t work when Donald Trump goes “full dictator.” The scenario they envisioned involved Trump calling out the military to stifle dissent. Of course, the National Guard is part of the military, and it’s not unusual to deploy the National Guard when there is widespread violence. Here’s why this is so chilling. After Trump’s first election in 2016, Brooks published an article in Foreign Policy magazine, a serious publication, titled, “Three Ways To Get Rid Of President Trump By 2020.” Her final scenario to get rid of Trump was, as she put it, “one that until recently I would have said was unthinkable in the United States of America: a military coup.” So, in 2017, Brooks fantasized about using the military to overthrow the duly elected president of the United States. How’s that for “defending democracy”?! Now, she’s running a think tank that is trying to figure out how to stop Donald Trump if he tries to stop widespread rioting and violence. Abortion Insanity With the election now over, a form of insanity is spreading among leftist women who are obsessed with abortion. In spite of all the threats to our liberties, these radical feminists believe that destroying preborn children is the most fundamental “right” they have and the most important thing that defines their lives. There’s a drug women can take to kill their preborn child. An organization that provides this baby pesticide usually gets six hundred requests a day from women wanting the pill. In the 24 hours following the election, their website crashed after they got ten thousand requests. Social media is full of left-wing women promising they will not have sexual relations with any man because Trump won the election. Some women are going even further to ensure this promise is fulfilled by shaving their heads so they are unattractive to men. And it’s not just women. Appointments for vasectomies are through the roof. Of course, in the left’s unreality world, women can get vasectomies, too. We’ve suggested before that the root of abortion is in Baal worship or child sacrifice. This is a death cult in some ways, and this is the way cultists react when someone challenges their “religious observances.” Our God says, “Choose life so you and your children may live.” Whatever these insane leftists are worshipping says, “Choose death so that you and your country can disappear.” tMAKE YOUR TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATION NOW SHARE VIA SOCIAL MEDIA Share This Email Share This Email Share This Email As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, donations to American Values are tax deductible for federal income tax purposes.
