Day 276
It’s Day 276 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 Tackles The Left
Every time we turn around, there’s another left-wing demonstration. This past weekend it was the No Kings protests, and people always have the same questions:
“Do these people have jobs? Where do they get their money? Why do all their signs look professionally made? Who is behind this?”
Well, we may get some answers soon.
After President Trump designated the far-left revolutionary group Antifa as a terrorist organization, FBI Director Kash Patel set up a new division to investigate how Antifa and other leftist revolutionary groups are funded. The FBI is tracking the money just like it tracked money from organized crime.
In addition to the usual suspects—domestic leftist billionaires like George Soros—Patel said there are indications that America’s foreign enemies are also providing support for radical anti-American groups. Some of these groups are fomenting violence against our immigration police.
These extremist groups get their funding from a vast network of far-left tax-exempt “charities.” These “charities” are funded by left-wing organizations such as Arabella Advisors, the Open Society Foundation, and the Sixteen Thirty Fund that act like clearinghouses for radical left money. Those groups get their money from left-wing billionaires, including George Soros.
As the prime suspect for funding left-wing violence, Soros is now in the bull’s eye of Justice Department lawyers, Treasury Department experts, and IRS investigators.
President Trump’s decisive action against the radical Left has already produced results.
Microsoft founder Bill Gates has stopped giving to Arabella Advisors, and British billionaire Christopher Hohn has stopped supporting extreme environmental groups that are trying to cripple our energy industry and our economy.
Of all the things the Trump administration is tackling right now, this work is definitely among the most important priorities. These violent left-wing groups are the real threat to democracy in America. They want to shred our Constitution and “fundamentally transform” our Republic into a Marxist state.
Wikipedia Censors Scripture
Wikipedia claims to be a “free online encyclopedia that anyone can edit” and is open to all. Except it isn’t when it comes to conservative Christians.
Several months ago, a Wikipedia editor included a Bible verse about human sexuality in his profile on a separate Wikipedia chat group, not its “encyclopedia” pages. He was immediately harassed by LGBTQ members of the chat group.
When the editor issued a formal complaint over the harassment, he was informed that the Bible verse violated Wikipedia’s code of conduct, but not the harassment by the intolerant leftists.
But it didn’t end there. Wikipedia began deleting the editor’s pages and essays that advocated for the free speech rights of those who oppose the LGBTQ agenda. It wasn’t long after that the editor himself was banned from Wikipedia entirely.
Once again, we see the Left’s intolerance and hostility to free speech and religious liberty. Other examples include pastors and politicians in Europe who have been prosecuted for publicly speaking about normal human sexuality. And it’s happening here, too.
By the way, Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger has warned for years that the site has been hijacked by left-wing activists and can’t be trusted. He is absolutely right. One radical Wikipedia editor even attempted to delete information about the Muslim grooming gangs in England that were targeting young British women.
“Failing Up”
Stacy Davis Gates is the president of the Chicago Teachers Union. She is a far-left radical who has praised a Marxist cop killer, condemned standardized tests as “junk science rooted in white supremacy,” denounced private schools as “fascist,” and utterly failed in her job of improving education in Chicago.
Under Gates’s leadership, more than 50 Chicago schools had no students—ZERO—who were proficient in math and reading. Across the entire Windy City, just 31% of students in third through eighth grade are proficient in reading, only 18% are proficient in math, and 41% of students are chronically absent. (Even Gates herself sends her son to a private school!)
With a performance record like that, Gates should be fired. But she’s getting a promotion instead. She was just elected the new president of the entire state’s Federation of Teachers.
As the Wall Street Journal put it, Gates is “failing up” and will now be taking her failures statewide.
During the Reagan administration, Bill Bennett and I went to Chicago to speak with the public school establishment. At one point, Bennett said, “Chicago has the worst public schools in the country.” Someone in the audience shouted, “No, we don’t! That’s Detroit.” Wow. That was a really compelling defense of the Chicago school system. NOT! Evidently, not much has changed.
Another Fake Controversy
Democrats and their media allies are running around with their hair on fire over President Trump’s renovations to the White House. He is adding a new ballroom to the East Wing, and taxpayers aren’t paying a dime. It is being entirely paid for by private donations.
Here’s one of the earliest pictures of the White House and a picture of the White House complex today. If we applied the Left’s standard they’re claiming today—that it can’t ever be changed—it would still look like it did well over 100 years ago.
