Email from American Values Plus, Comey the commie?   Fighting For Faith, Family & Freedom Thursday, October 9, 2025 To: Friends & Supporters From: Gary Bauer Day 263  It’s Day 263 of President Trump’s second term. No one has lost their Social Security, Medicare, or veterans’ benefits in spite of constant media and leftist lies. Trump’s Triumph Yesterday, President Trump held a meeting with top administration officials on the growing threat from within. (See below.) My heart stopped for a second when I saw Secretary of State Marco Rubio hand the president a note and whisper something in his ear. Remember when George W. Bush’s chief of staff did the same thing on the morning of 9/11, telling him America was under attack? Thankfully, Rubio’s whisper was good news, not bad. Rubio informed the president that Trump’s peace plan was close to being accepted by Hamas. Shortly before 7:00 p.m. last night, President Trump made the following announcement on his Truth Social platform: “I am very proud to announce that Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first Phase of our Peace Plan. This means that ALL of the Hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their Troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps toward a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace.” All living Israeli hostages should be free within days. Hamas also agreed to return the bodies of the remaining murdered hostages at the same time. Israel will release Palestinian prisoners and pull back its military from roughly half of Gaza. Israeli farmers plowed their fields this morning with a message that read “Nobel 4 Trump,” referring to the Nobel Peace Prize. If, with God’s blessing, Trump succeeds here, it will also be a blow against communist China, Russia, Iran, and every major terrorist group throughout the Middle East. That’s also why it will be so hard because every one of those entities will do everything they possibly can to blow it up. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Once again, I was struck by how the neo-Marxist Left and small-minded Democrats are running round every day with their hair on fire, spreading conspiracy theories, spewing violent rhetoric, defending rioters and illegal aliens, and calling anyone attempting to defend America a “Nazi.” Meanwhile, President Trump and his team are doing everything possible to make our country stronger and more successful and hopefully, give our children and grandchildren lives at least as good as ours. The contrast could not be clearer. God Bless Our Alliance Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu immediately praised the peace deal. Writing on social media, Bibi declared: “Through steadfast resolve, powerful military action, and the great efforts of our great friend and ally President Trump, we have reached this critical turning point. “I thank President Trump for his leadership, his partnership, and his unwavering commitment to the safety of Israel and the freedom of our hostages. God Bless Israel. God Bless America. God Bless our great alliance.” Enemies Within The enemies of freedom and the allies of Hamas held a rally in New York City Tuesday, celebrating the October 7th attack on Israel. They chanted calls for genocide while waving Hamas flags. Abdullah Akl, supposedly a Harvard graduate, led the protest. He said: “We did not act enough. If we acted enough, the headlines behind me would read ‘Gaza has been liberated.’ Our work is not done. We must show up stronger than we did the first October 7th. . . We will keep fighting until Palestine is free. From the river to the sea.” This disgusting outburst of antisemitism occurred in a city with the largest population of Jews outside of Israel itself. This is what Jews in New York City now face every day. Meanwhile, a Muslim, antisemite socialist maintains a depressingly large lead in the race for mayor. This protest received little news coverage. A pro-Hamas protest in Boston, where rioters attacked police, was also largely ignored. These demonstrations were not antiwar protests. They weren’t rallies in support of President Trump’s peace deal to end the war. They were celebrating the anniversary of the attack! Anyone celebrating that slaughter cannot possibly be part of the American family. We should not want that kind of hate in our country, and we certainly should not be importing such hate into our country. Palisades Pyro Federal authorities arrested Jonathan Rinderknecht this week for “maliciously starting” the January Palisades Fire, one of the most destructive wildfires in the history of Los Angeles. Twelve people were killed in the fire. Thousands of homes and buildings were destroyed. Total damages are estimated at roughly $150 billion. It’s clear Rinderknecht is another radicalized leftist. His social media was filled with left-wing class warfare. He created a picture using AI showing poor people being burned while rich people were partying. He wrote in one AI platform, “I literally burnt the Bible that I had. It felt amazing. I felt so liberated.” (There is speculation that burning his Bible may have caused the Palisades fire.) And he donated to Joe Biden, which is why you won’t hear much about his arrest. Another reason the fake news media won’t touch this story is because they spent weeks hyperventilating about the Palisades fire being caused by “climate change.” Poll Position Two recent polls show that President Trump is in a much stronger position than his approval rating alone might suggest. The latest New York Times poll finds that 54% of Americans support “deporting immigrants living in the United States illegally back to their home countries,” while 43% are opposed. It is significant that the question did not ask about deporting “criminal aliens.” Support for that would have been even higher. That split is probably an accurate reflection of where we are in America today. We have a solid majority with us, but there is a large minority of left-wing “true believers,” who will oppose every reasonable idea we come up with, including securing the border and keeping men out of women’s sports. Another stat that jumped out at me was the level of support for deportations by education. Adults with college educations are evenly split—49% to 50%. Among those who haven’t been through four years of indoctrination, there is overwhelming support—57% to 38%—for deportation. In addition, the latest Harvard/Harris poll tested the popularity of the president’s agenda and found that 18 out of 20 issues enjoy majority support from the American people. Comey The Commie? Disgraced ex-FBI Director James Comey appeared in federal court yesterday to plead “not guilty” to felony charges. That led several people to recall something Rush Limbaugh once discussed about Comey on his show. In an interview that very few people evidently read, James Comey admitted to being a communist in the 1970s. He also admitted to voting for Jimmy Carter. Rush was stunned by this revelation and the fact that “under Obama, the CIA director and the FBI director both had histories of . . . serious immersion into communism.” He quipped, “And like the KGB always said, ‘No one ever leaves the KGB.’” Maybe the FBI should have been investigating James Comey for Russian collusion. Krazy Katie Katie Porter is in the news for her bizarre behavior, which is emblematic of the near-universal mental breakdown on the Left. Porter is the leading candidate to be the next governor of California. This is the woman Democrats believe would be really good at running the biggest state in the nation. Yet, she appears to have deep psychological problems and anger management issues. Her ex-husband claims she regularly threw things at him and even attacked him with scalding mashed potatoes. She cussed out a staff member for walking into view when she was on Zoom. And, earlier this week, she became totally unhinged when a reporter simply asked how she planned to bring Californians together. CBS News reporter Julie Watts asked Porter, “What do you say to the 40% of California voters, who you’ll need in order to win, who voted for Trump?” Porter responded, “How would I need them in order to win?” As Watts asked some follow-up questions, Porter candidate accused Watts of being “unnecessarily argumentative.” Porter told Watts that she expected “to have a pleasant, positive conversation.” Ponder that. Porter is a former congresswoman. She ran for the Senate. Now she is running for governor. And she can’t handle follow-up questions? The bubble the Left lives in is breathtaking! Porter’s behavior also shows the Left’s disdain for debate. Quite the contrast to Donald Trump’s marathon press conferences, where he takes questions for over an hour! Porter once claimed that Trump’s reelection made her 12-year-old daughter cry. On Election Night, when it became obvious Trump was going to win, Porter says her young daughter asked, “What if I get raped and need an abortion?” If that was my 12-year-old daughter, I would take her in for counseling. Does Porter’s daughter really obsess about being raped? And if her daughter really did in fact say that, it’s totally misinformed. That is not Donald Trump’s position on abortion. The fact that Porter is the frontrunner in California and that Jay Jones in Virginia still has the full backing of every top Democrat and progressive organization in the state, including the teachers’ unions, tells us a lot about the Left. Nancy Pelosi was asked about Jones. She said, “What I understand is they say, on balance, he is a better person to be attorney general.” Why? Because he wants to kill Republicans? And then there’s Rep. Dan Golden (D-NY), a rising leader in the Democrat Party. He was on CNN last night denying that our brave immigration police are being doxed and attacked while insisting that they themselves are violent. The fact is attacks on immigration police have skyrocketed. Radical leftists and drug cartels are also putting “bounties” on ICE officers of $10,000 for every one of them killed. Instead of bashing our brave immigration police, he should be thanking them for getting criminals off of New York’s streets and making New York’s communities safer.
