COUNTDOWN TO TRUMP’S INAUGURATION: 39 DAYS

Special Note

This is the time of year when many people turn their attention to the wonderful celebration of Christ’s birth and look forward to spending extra time with their families.

But in Washington, D.C., right now, this is anything but a quiet time, especially if you’re on our side. Members of the incoming Trump/Vance administration and conservative groups “fighting the good fight” are working overtime.

I know here at American Values, we are being inundated with requests for information and guidance from people going into the government and from our fellow warriors outside of government seeking to map out our strategy for the critical year ahead.

It’s become obvious to me that we need to hire additional people to manage the additional workload. We also need to increase our budget for legal battles. The left has made it clear that they are going to use liberal judges to stop Trump and the conservative pro-family, pro-life movement.

So, as you are reading today’s report, I hope you will take a moment now to make a donation online or put a check in the mail to help us meet our critical year-end goal, especially when we have a generous matching opportunity.

This is a great time to support our work -- we can’t do it without you!

It would be great if you could send us a quick message letting us know you’re putting a check in the mail.

Stand With American Values Now

Thank you, my friends! God bless you and your family!

More FBI Lies

One of the unanswered questions regarding January 6th is how many FBI “assets” were in the crowd on Capitol Hill that day. Director Christopher Wray has repeatedly refused to answer that question.

We found out today from the Justice Department inspector general. Here’s a headline from the fake news:

“FBI Didn’t Deploy Undercover Agents On Jan. 6, Watchdog Report Finds, Undercutting Conspiracy Theories.”

Now here’s the actual truth: There were 26 FBI confidential human sources (CHS) or informants in the crowd.

Three were authorized by the FBI to be there. When these sources are working on an authorized project, they are paid by the FBI. So, these three were on the FBI’s payroll on January 6th.

None of them were authorized to enter the Capitol Build or restricted areas. But at least one did enter the Capitol Building and two entered the restricted grounds around the Capitol.

What about the other 23 FBI informants? We’re told that they just decided to show up on their own. Really? Of this group, three entered the Capitol and 11 entered the restricted area.

None of them were prosecuted by the Washington, D.C., U.S. Attorney’s office, which is still arresting people.

Ninety-five percent of the January 6th defendants have been slapped with misdemeanor charges of trespassing in a restricted area.

More proof of the two systems of justice and why the FBI is in need of serious reform.

Trump In Charge

Donald Trump is riding high from his historic victory and is clearly in charge for now. It’s amazing to see the forces and people trying to make peace with him. For example:

The Wall Street establishment was never a fan of Trump’s populist trade policies. This morning, Donald Trump rang the opening bell on the New York Stock Exchange. But that doesn’t begin to describe what happened.

Trump, J.D. Vance, and members of the Trump family were welcomed to loud cheers of “USA! USA!” by traders on the floor of America’s financial power center.

Time just named Trump “Person of the Year,” saying he could reshape the country.

Mark Zuckerberg, who turned his social media platform against Trump, just donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural committee.

Jeff Bezos, owner of the Washington Post, stopped the newspaper’s endorsement of Kamala Harris and publicly chastised the left-wing partisans at the Post who were pretending to be reporters. Now, a few glimpses of real journalism are beginning to emerge on the Post’s pages.

The Democrat mayor of New York City is pledging to work with Donald Trump to make New York City great again.

Ukrainian President Zelensky says he has “hope” that Donald Trump will bring peace to Ukraine.

This honeymoon won’t last. Far-left groups are working as hard as they can to bring him down. But for the moment, normal Americans are celebrating, and many elites are recognizing that business as usual is over. Thank God.

Smear Stopped

The left-wing media outlet ProPublica was about to release a hit piece alleging that Pete Hegseth lied about being accepted to West Point. ProPublica contacted West Point and was told that there is no record of Hegseth ever being accepted.

Fortunately, Hegseth was able to quickly shut down this smear by posting his West Point acceptance letter online.

West Point officials now admit they made a “mistake.” Sen. Tom Cotton is demanding a full investigation, suggesting West Point may have violated Hegseth’s privacy rights.

This is just another example of how every Deep State “mistake” is always at the expense of conservatives. It’s also an indication of how even the military is full of leftist ideologues determined to resist Donald Trump’s agenda.

A Threat From Within?

Yesterday we mentioned that thousands of Chinese men suddenly started crossing the border illegally, and we wondered if there was any relation to the sudden swarms of mystery drones. A Chinese citizen was arrested this week for flying a drone over a major Air Force base.

Well, Fox News just got some internal data from Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Of the 1.4 million illegal aliens who are in the country in defiance of court deportation orders, nearly 38,000 are Chinese citizens.

They’ve been given deportation orders, but they have not shown up to comply with court orders.

Britain Bans Puberty Blockers

While the debate over transgender medical treatments for children rages here in the United States, several European countries are slamming the brakes on so-called “gender affirming care.”

It’s really “gender denying care.” There is nothing “affirming” about denying reality.

Britain’s National Health Service decided it would be a good idea to examine the science behind transing children. After four years of research, led by Dr. Hilary Cass, a former president of the Royal College of Pediatrics, the Cass Report exposed a serious “lack of high-quality evidence” to support these radical experiments on children.

Britain’s conservative government at the time banned the use of puberty blockers. Britain now has a left-wing government led by the Labour Party, and many wondered whether the government’s policy would change. We just got the answer.

Citing “unacceptable safety risks,” the liberal Labour government announced that the ban on puberty blockers will remain in place.

Doctors pushing transgender insanity here in the United States had better start paying attention. More and more of them are being sued for negligence and malpractice, and the science isn’t looking so good.

Faith Wins

When Elijah Nelson asked if he could start a Bible club at his junior/senior high school in Waterville, New York, school officials denied his request, saying the school could not have any club “associated with a religion.”

Fortunately, our friends at the First Liberty Institute got involved, and the school backed down.

But for every one of these victories, there are many cases around the country where the schools say no and the students and their families surrender.

As we have said repeatedly, we are grateful for Donald Trump’s three Supreme Court appointees. Thank you again, President Trump!

Legal experts now say that because of those appointments, religious liberty is more secure now than it has been in 50 years. So, it’s up to us in our churches and in our local schools to get good counsel and exercise the rights that have been restored.

Biden’s New Record

Joe Biden is leaving office with a number of record “accomplishments,” none of them good.

There’s record illegal immigration, record crime, record food prices, record regulations, and now record pardons – more than 1,500 in a single day.

I haven’t had time to check the long list to see if Liz Cheney is on it.
