Email from American Values Plus, Senate no-shows.   Fighting For Faith, Family & Freedom Thursday, July 16, 2026 To: Friends & Supporters From: Gary Bauer Trump Takes His Case To The People President Trump will address the nation tonight at 9:00 p.m. ET. The president told reporters that while he will discuss multiple subjects, he is also going to make “a very big announcement.” The speculation is that he will disclose evidence of foreign interference in our elections. Of course, the Trump-haters are already spinning the speech, which they haven’t heard, as more “baseless claims” and “sour grapes” about the 2020 election. But several months ago, the New York Times ran a story with this headline: “U.S. Is Increasingly Exposed to Chinese Election Threats, Lawmakers Say.” The lawmakers quoted in this story were Democrats. So, concerns about election integrity are not just a “right-wing conspiracy.” You can watch the president’s address here. Democrats Join The Mob A disturbing new survey shows that antisemitism in America has gotten worse over the past year. I’m not surprised. One of the two major political parties in America—the Democrat Party—is feverishly embracing antisemitism. Democrats in Congress have enthusiastically supported sending billions of your tax dollars to Ukraine—a country we don’t have a long-standing relationship with or any treaty obligations. They will eagerly spend your money on transgender clinics in India and transgender operas in Colombia. But yesterday, more than half of House Democrats voted against providing any help to Israel—a country that has always been our friend and ally. Among them was Rep. Katherine Clark (D-MA), the No. 2 House Democrat. In 2016, no Democrats—zero—voted to cut off aid to Israel. In 2024—a year after Hamas terrorists slaughtered 1,200 Israelis—37 Democrats shockingly voted to end aid to Israel. Didn’t they see the corpses of dead babies and the raped women? Yesterday, 103 House Democrats voted to abandon our Israeli allies. Only one Republican—Thomas Massie (R-KY)—voted to end aid to Israel, and he sponsored the bill. Thankfully, he will be out office next year because of Donald Trump’s efforts. After the vote, socialist darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned her fellow Democrats who still support Israel and any possible Democrat 2028 presidential candidates to get in line with the new majority of Jew-haters in her party. Because of the growing antisemitism in America, many Jews are thinking of moving to Israel. The Democrat Party is making it clear that they don’t care what happens to Jews here or in Israel. The Red/Green Alliance Three Democrat candidates for governor of Wisconsin participated in a recent debate. While most of you don’t live in Wisconsin, what’s happening there is happening across the country. Marxists and socialists are making alliances with Islamofascists. The debate was sponsored by two Islamic organizations. The Democrat candidates were asked whether they would veto any legislation that restricts Sharia law. Each of them symbolically bowed before Allah and pledged to veto such a law. Sharia law is based on the Koran and is not consistent with the Constitution of the United States. Several states are trying to pass legislation to make it clear that Sharia law cannot prevail over American law. And three Democrats running to be the next governor of Wisconsin said to a Muslim audience, “You can count on me. I’ll protect Sharia, not the Constitution.” Democrats For Trans Insanity State Rep. Francesca Hong was one of the three Democrats at the debate. She is also a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). She’s a Marxist and a cultural barbarian. Hong wants to use public tax dollars to fund mutilating transgender surgeries on children. She called hospitals that have stopped performing these procedures under pressure from the Trump administration “cowardly.” And she called on Wisconsinites to “be vocal about uplifting trans joy.” What is “trans joy”? We’re told every hour of the day that without mutilating their bodies or giving them sterilizing drugs, transgenders will kill themselves. Research shows that individuals with this delusion are depressed or facing other mental health issues. By the way, Hong is the current frontrunner in the Democrat primary. If a candidate can’t get basic biology right, wants to mutilate children and demands that we believe lies, why would any voter trust them on anything? Left-wing Lunacy There was another example of left-wing lunacy this week. The heads of two university medical schools testified Tuesday before the House Education and Workforce Committee about their “diversity, equity and inclusion” policies (DEI). The Trump administration has fought hard to end DEI programs. Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) noted that the University of California, San Francisco, advises medical students to refer to “pregnant people.” She asked Dr. Sam Hawgood, chancellor of UCSF, a simple question: “Who are pregnant people?” Dr. Hawgood stumbled through a pathetic response before eventually conceding that “the vast majority of pregnancies are in women.” Confused by the idea that some pregnancies are not in women, Miller asked, “Has a non-biological woman ever had a baby?” Hawgood replied, “A transgender person can.” Of course, he’s referring to a delusional woman who claims to be a man. To accept that response, you must believe the lie that “men can get pregnant.” Rep. Miller replied, “It’s ridiculous!” I agree. Next up was Dr. Steve Dubinett, dean of UCLA School of Medicine. Rep. Miller asked Dr. Dubinett to explain why UCLA tells medical students not to exclude “those who have a uterus but do not identify” with the terms “she” and “women.” Dr. Dubinett claimed to be ignorant of the policy, so Rep. Miller asked him to clarify something: “Can someone have a uterus but not be a woman?” After Dubinett dodged the question, Miller asked whether UCLA even teaches biology. Senate No-Shows Waste, fraud and abuse of the people’s tax dollars has been a big issue ever since Elon Musk and his DOGE team showed up in Washington, D.C., last year. Horrific examples of fraud have been discovered in California, New York and Ohio. Massive fraud schemes ended the political career of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Given how pervasive the problem is, you’d think senators would show up for a hearing investigating the issue. Well, the Senate held a hearing on waste, fraud and abuse yesterday, but the Democrats boycotted it. They refused to go to a hearing exposing the waste of your money and how they could be better stewards of our tax dollars. Of course, they did. It’s their activists, donors and voters who are benefiting from the theft of your hard-earned money!
