Email from American Values Plus, Thank You!   Fighting For Faith, Family & Freedom Tuesday, January 6, 2026 To: Friends & Supporters From: Gary Bauer Day 352  It’s Day 352 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. Barbarians Inside The Gates Yesterday, we referred to a report about Marxists inside the United States who ran a “second front” in America. The leaped into action to stoke opposition to the arrest of Venezuela’s corrupt Marxist dictator Nicolas Maduro. If you haven’t read the Fox News report, I urge you to take a few minutes to do so now. It shows you exactly what we are up against, what we are fighting day after day to keep the Republic our Founding Fathers gave us. This network of communist, socialist, and Marxist organizations is funded and led by billionaire Maoist supporter Neville Singhman, who is married to the co-founder of the far-left group Code Pink. Some of the first videos of the U.S. military operation to seize Nicolas Maduro in Caracas, presumably cellphone videos captured by Venezuelans, were released by Singhman’s leftist network. Within minutes, they were spewing out leftist talking points defending Maduro and propaganda attacking America and Donald Trump. Long before most Americans had any clue about what had happened, these radical Marxists were already framing a false narrative. One of those narratives was the absurd assertion that President Trump ordered Maduro’s arrest in Venezuela to distract from the growing Jeffrey Epstein scandal. There is no “growing Epstein scandal” related to Donald Trump! When I go home every night, I use on a major highway, I-395. There is an overpass about half a mile from the office that has been the site of left-wing demonstrations for months. I have no doubt these demonstrators are part of Singhman’s vast network. Often the theme of their banners and posters has been “No Kings.” Whatever the daily line of attack is against the Trump administration, these demonstrators immediately have banners large enough to be read by the thousands of commuters passing under that overpass. Yesterday, they had a big banner that merged the words “Epstein” and “Venezuela” into “Epsteinzuela.” I’m sure the suburban highways in the Washington, D.C., area aren’t the only ones being used by leftist operatives to spread false narratives. Let me know if you have seen anything similar where you live and work. The Anti-American Left Ponder these examples of how extreme the Left has become. When President Trump went after the vicious gang Tren de Aragua for terrorizing the residents of Aurora, Colorado, Democrats lied and denied there was a problem. When federal immigration police arrested an illegal alien gang member involved in human trafficking, Democrats and the media turned him into a “Maryland man” and made him a hero of the open borders Left. When Trump went after a radical Islamist stoking antisemitism on the campus of Columbia University and terrorizing Jewish students, the Left rallied around Mahmoud Khalil and demanded he enjoy all the rights our Constitution has to offer. When Donald Trump bombed ISIS-affiliated terrorists who were killing Christians in Nigeria, the Left accused him of racism. When Donald Trump took out Iran’s terrorist mastermind, Democrats accused him of being reckless. When Trump moved to kick the communist Chinese out of the Panama Canal, Democrats accused him of imperialism. When Trump exposed corruption in the Somalian diaspora in Minnesota, Democrats rallied around the Somali scammers. When President Trump destroyed Iran’s nuclear weapons program, Democrats accused him of warmongering. When Trump removed a corrupt Marxist dictator who was working directly with drug cartels to poison American citizens, Democrats defended the dictator and accused Trump of committing impeachable offenses. Time and time again, Democrats rally around our enemies, foreign and domestic, that are trying to bring America down. Not long ago, the two parties agreed that corruption, antisemitism, gangs, human trafficking, and terrorism were all bad. The GOP hasn’t changed. It still opposes those things. The only thing that has changed is the Democrat Party, which has been hijacked by radical, anti-American leftists. The scary thing is that at least 47% of the American people are still willing to vote for them. A Brief Reminder  Since many Democrats are claiming that President Trump’s orders to arrest Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro were illegal and impeachable offenses, I thought a brief reminder of past actions might be in order. What Donald Trump did in Venezuela is identical to what George H.W. Bush did in 1989 when U.S. forces captured Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega. Like Maduro, Noriega had been indicted in U.S. courts on charges of drug trafficking, money laundering, and racketeering. When negotiations to extradite Noriega or force his resignation failed, then-President Bush ordered the U.S. military to seize him. The Los Angeles Times reported: “A clear majority in the Democratic-controlled Congress . . . applauded the incursion into Panama and urged the Administration to bring the deposed leader to justice.” After Noriega was captured and brought to the United States, he was put on trial, convicted, and sentenced to 40 years in prison. Sadly, unlike the Venezuela mission, 23 U.S. soldiers were killed and more than 300 were wounded in Panama during the operation. Once again, Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) has emerged as the “voice of reason” among congressional Democrats. Referring to Maduro, Sen. Fetterman said: “Now, remember, we all—Democrats, years ago, wanted to eliminate [Maduro], and why have a bounty of $25 million if we didn’t want him gone? Why would you do these things if you weren’t willing to actually do something other than harsh language?” By the way, that $25 million bounty Sen. Fetterman mentioned was put on Maduro’s head by Joe Biden or perhaps Joe Biden’s autopen. We just needed a new president to “actually do something.” Minnesota Meltdown It’s cold in Minnesota right now, but Governor Tim Walz and other state Democrats are feeling the heat. The multi-billion-dollar fraud scandal ended Walz’s political career yesterday and may well take down other top Democrats. The Trump administration has just surged 2,000 federal agents into Minnesota in a major crackdown on fraud and illegal immigration. I hope someone will look into the state’s voter registration system, too! The state has already been a major focus of federal law enforcement. The Department of Homeland Security announced yesterday that there have been “more than 1,000 arrests of murderers, rapists, pedophiles, and gang members” in Minnesota in the past week. (All registered Democrats no doubt.) Think about that. Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison are doing next to nothing to keep the people of Minnesota safe. It was left to Donald Trump to get more than 1,000 violent criminals off of Minnesota’s streets, and he did it in a matter of days. Meanwhile, more and more reports indicate that the Somali corruption scandal is not limited to just Minnesota. Ohio is emerging as another cesspool of immigration-related fraud. In fact, it seems that even the Somalian ambassador to the United Nations is somehow connected to Medicare fraud in the Buckeye State. Vandal Identified The man who smashed the windows at Vice President J.D. Vance’s Ohio home has been identified as 26-year-old William DeFoor. He has been arrested multiple times before but was found mentally incompetent to stand trial. He also claims to go by the name “Julia,” indicating he is transgender. Thank You!
