Plus, Toward A More Perfect Union   Fighting For Faith, Family & Freedom Tuesday, January 17, 2023 To: Friends & Supporters From: Gary Bauer Biden vs. MLK If Martin Luther King, Jr., were alive today, I have no doubt that he would condemn President Biden and the progressive movement. Let me explain. Biden used the Martin Luther King holiday weekend to promote the exact opposite of King’s message of genuine inclusion and tolerance. Sadly, one of Biden’s offensive speeches was even delivered at the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia – Reverend King’s own church. Dr. King desperately wanted racial reconciliation. He wanted race to be the least important thing about us. He wanted character or moral conduct to be the most important thing about each of us. Biden spent every moment of the weekend stoking racial division. He and his progressive allies in academia, Hollywood, the Black Lives Matter movement and Big Media want race to be “the only thing,” and they constantly criticize anyone who raises issues of character and morality. Here’s one example of Biden’s divisive rhetoric. While speaking to Al Sharpton’s National Action Network, Biden again attacked police officers, saying, “We have to retrain cops. Why should you always shoot with deadly force? The fact is if you need to use your weapon, you don’t have to do that.” Once again, Joe Biden doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He’s talking about the police as if they’re a bunch of trigger-happy yahoos. Our streets would not be safer if Joe Biden retrained cops to shoot for arms and legs, as he has suggested! More importantly, black communities need the police. If cities are going to attract jobs and investment, you need law and order. Businesses are fleeing liberal cities right now because of crime. (Here, here and here.) Yet Biden is attacking the one institution that is most essential to revitalizing our cities. Here’s another example of Biden’s outrageous rhetoric. He said that if someone in a “predominantly black neighborhood” had “the exact same car that I have . . . you pay more for your insurance. . . No basis for it . . . other than you’re black and I’m white.” Biden is the last guy who should be talking about cars right now, but his logic is absurd! Car insurance is based on blind statistics, mainly risk. Young people pay more than middle-aged people because they are risky, inexperienced drivers. If you live in a crime-infested area, you’ll pay more than if you lived in a safer suburb because there is a greater risk of theft or vandalism. But Joe Biden just wants to demonize insurance companies as tools of white supremacy. Well, Democrats controlled Congress for four years during the Obama Administration and during Biden’s presidency. They did nothing about car insurance rates. Why? Because Biden is lying, and he knows it! It’s demagoguery, pure and simple. Biden is demagoguing on the most sensitive issue our nation is wrestling with. Why would he do that? Because he thinks it helps him politically. I still hear some misguided Republicans say, “Joe Biden is a nice guy.” No, he isn’t! Stop saying that! Car-a-Lago Continues There are still more questions than answers about the classified documents that Joe Biden stored next to his car in the garage of his Wilmington, Delaware, home. But it is obvious at this point that Biden never intended for any of this to become public. Meanwhile, there’s a question that’s gnawing at a lot of smart people. Even though some in Big Media are acting a bit like real journalists, this question isn’t being pressed hard enough: Why, after six years, did Biden suddenly decide to go through all the places where he’s worked and lived to see if he had any classified documents? What set off the frantic search by his private attorneys? It’s been reported that the classified documents at Penn Biden Center were found in an envelope labeled “personal.” Well, that’s interesting. After you answer the questions of why and when Biden decided to have his attorneys search his homes and old offices, why did he tell them to check out the garage, too? And then there’s the question of Hunter’s $49,000 in monthly rent. Rent is reportable income. But Joe Biden only reported $19,800 in rental income. This looks like potential money laundering, and could be part of the “Big Guy’s 10%.” We know from previous reporting that Hunter played a big role in “Biden, Inc.” He also once complained to his daughter how he had to “pay for everything for this entire family,” but “unlike Pop [Joe], I won’t make you give me half your salary.” About Those Deaths. . . We’ve all noticed what seems to be an epidemic of tragic deaths from heart attacks by young, healthy people. Damar Hamlin’s collapse on the football field certainly caught many people’s attention. But why is there so little interest among important people to investigate why this is happening? Three possibilities have recently been cited for causing deaths: Climate change, gas stoves and the COVID-19 vaccine. I know which explanation I think is most likely. The Trans Supremacy Agenda The Miss Universe competition is one contest many Americans won’t be watching much longer. The new owner of the organization that runs the competition declared, “From now on it’s going to be run by women, owned by a trans woman for all women around the world to celebrate the power of feminism!” Meanwhile, the U.S. military is reeling from a massive recruiting failure. But it has found time to distribute a manual instructing officers on how to handle the inevitable issues that will arise from transgender soldiers serving in the military. So, when female troops complain that they are showering with biological men, their officers are essentially instructed to shut them up. And when a “trans man” reports that “he is pregnant,” the officer is supposed to treat the pregnancy like any other pregnancy. Last year, the YMCA made news when it banned an 80 year-old woman in Washington State who complained about a man changing in the women’s locker room in front of little children. Well, the organization continues to kneel at the altar of radical transgender insanity. A 17 year-old girl in southern California objected when a fully biological man came into the YMCA showers with her and other girls. The teenage girl naturally objected to the staff, but later said, “I was made to feel as though I had done something wrong when I talked to people at the YMCA.” The San Diego County YMCA issued a statement saying, “We rely on subject matter experts, laws, and guidelines established by the State of California to ensure our policies are welcoming and respectful for all community members.” But these policies clearly are not “welcoming and respectful” to girls and women who have any normal expectations of privacy! That brings me to the most important point that must be at the center of this debate – the trans supremacy agenda is harming biological women. That’s what every politician who is asked to address the issue must say. The trans movement violates female privacy. On the sports field it steals honors from female athletes. It physically hurts and disables female athletes. So-called “transgendered women” are demanding to get away with things that would send any heterosexual man to jail. Toward A More Perfect Union Anyone who reads this daily report for just a few days will quickly realize how much I care about the values we are passing on to our children and grandchildren, and how those values define the kind of country they will inherit from us. And I know you care, too, which is why you’re reading this daily report! So, with that in mind, I wanted to take a brief moment to recommend, “Toward A More Perfect Union,” the latest book from my good friend, Timothy Goeglein. I have known Tim for more than 20 years. He currently serves as vice president of government relations at Focus on the Family. “Toward A More Perfect Union” addresses the challenges we’re facing from the radical left’s monopoly on public education, and makes the case for why we must teach our children what a good and decent land America truly is. “Taking a stand will not be easy,” Goeglein warns. “But for the future of our children, and our country, we must do it. The very future of Western civilization is at stake.” I know you will not only enjoy Tim’s latest book, but I believe it will inspire you as we work “Toward A More Perfect Union.” MAKE YOUR TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATION NOW SHARE VIA SOCIAL MEDIA Share This Email Share This Email Share This Email As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, donations to American Values are tax deductible for federal income tax purposes.
