FRANK ON FRIDAY – Resist, We Much!
The title of this week’s piece comes from that inimitable paragon of morality and propriety, the Reverend Al Sharpton. Return with me back to 2014. Sharpton, who even then had a show on MSNBC, was exhorting his tens of viewers to do what the Left does best – Resist. But in rallying his troops, the Right (or is it Left?) Reverend spoiled his sentiment by tripping over his teleprompter. Who could forget the depth of his wisdom? “But resist we much. We must and we will much about that be committed.” Amen Brother.
And for that, MSNBC pays the Rev $1.5 million. And that’s on top of the more than $1 million a year the Rev skims from from his own charity. You know what they say, charity begins at home. And $500,000 of the total in the coffers of his charity came from the Kamala Harris campaign, so consider it payment for services rendered. But Al is still on the air, stirring the pot, and fomenting “resistance.”
The Rev’s ratings may not be very high, but there’s no doubt that segments of the insane asylum commonly known as the Democrat Party have taken the Rev’s wisdom to heart, and have dedicated themselves to the “resist, we much” proposition.
Most of the resistance is aimed at the Trump Administration’s efforts to enforce our immigration laws, and to Trump’s use of federal law enforcement and National Guard troops in so-called Blue cities.
First it was Washington, D.C. Trump sent in the National Guard and surged federal law enforcement to drastically reduce crime that was out of control. As with all things liberal, the Leftists running the Capitol District denied that there was a problem, and reflexively opposed Trump’s action because they oppose all things Trump.
As usual, it was the Leftists who created the problem. Over about ten years, the murder rate in D.C. doubled, to 27.4 per 100,000, even higher than the rate in that other Hellhole, Chicago. More about that city later. D.C. also permitted juvenile offenders to run amok by failing to prosecute violent offenders as adults. Trump came in, kicked ass, took names, and crime in D.C. is under control.
Chicago was next. ICE conducted operations to remove violent illegal aliens. The City and State resisted. The Trump surge of federal agents and National Guard to combat crime came next, because crime in Chicago was rampant.
Every weekend, scores of residents are shot by the violent gangsters who the City permits to prey upon Chicagoans. Shootings Are so frequent they have become routine, like sports scores. “This weekend, 22 were shot and 4 were killed.” Holiday weekends are double-headers. Over Labor Day weekend, “58 shot and 8 killed.”
President Trump surveyed the carnage, and decided that something had to be done. Trump announced, “We’re going in.” “Chicago is the worst most dangerous city in the World, by far. Pritzker needs help badly, he just doesn’t know it yet. I will solve the crime problem fast, just like I did in DC. Chicago will be safe again, and soon.”
The elected officials in the City of Chicago and the State of Illinois resisted. Much. Governor Pritzker called Trump’s remarks “unhinged.” Pritzker said the president’s plan was “unprecedented and unwarranted. It is illegal, it is unconstitutional, it is un-American.”
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, he who sports a 7% approval rating, said he had “grave concerns about the impact of any unlawful deployment of National Guard troops to the city of Chicago.” He called Trump’s approach “uncoordinated, uncalled for, and unsound.” Johnson also said that deploying the National Guard in Chicago could “inflame tensions between residents and law enforcement.” Bullshit. The residents can’t have tensions with a group they rarely see.
Mayor Johnson called the federal actions unconstitutional and politically motivated. This was stupid in the extreme. Trump didn’t go into Chicago to win votes there. It’s just the opposite. Trump is using his political capital to protect the helpless citizens that State and local officials have abandoned. He didn’t have to do it, but he places more value on innocent lives than the people elected to protect them.
Then Pritzker doubled down. He has threatened to prosecute federal law enforcement agents for the crime of doing their jobs. “Unlike Donald Trump, we keep our promises.” “We will not stand idly by if he decides to send the National Guard to intimidate Chicagoans.” “Action will be met with a response.” Unless that response is to get his fat ass out of the way, the Gov’s going to have a problem.
Pritzker wasn’t kidding. He sued Trump, and got a leftist federal judge to halt the National Guard deployment. Temporarily. Then an appeals court affirmed the injunction – for a short time. Then the same court reversed itself and removed the injunction. Perhaps somebody called the court and said, “Hey, remember that Constitution you swore to uphold? It’s the one that authorizes the Commander in Chief to federalize the National Guard. Right, that Constitution.”
But “resist they much.” The real question is, exactly what is it that they’re resisting? Mayor Johnson says the federal action is un-American. Is it? No. The idea that the highest duty of government is to protect its citizens in their homes and on the streets is the essence of the American ideal.
And let’s put Americanism aside. How about common decency and common sense. More than 4,000 Chicagoans have been murdered under Governor Pritzker’s reign. He doesn’t care. He has neither common decency nor common sense.
Okay, if he has no sense, how about self-interest? The Democrats who run these resistant cities rely on the votes of People of Color. And it is those people who bear the brunt of Blue City officials’ failure to protect them. They are the murder, robbery, and rape victims. Morons like Pritzker and Johnson are destroying part of their base.
Unfortunately for the helpless victims, they’re not the part of the Democrat base that the leftist elected officials pay attention to. They only listen to leftist billionaires, crazed Socialists, college educated grievance mongers, labor union thugs, and childless cat ladies. They just don’t have the time to worry about thousands of poor black victims.
The “resist we much” crowd is nothing less than insane. Their mania to oppose anything and everything that President Trump does has even caused them to abandon the first principle of State and local governing. That principle is this – If the federal government is willing to do an expensive and dangerous job for you, and is willing to pay for it, you let them do it. Never mind let them do it. You get your Senators and Representatives to make sure the Feds do it and pay for it.
In this case they’re willing to give all that up simply to resist Trump. In so doing they’re resisting lower crime, public protection, lower taxes, a more satisfied electorate, and humanity itself. In their zeal to resist Trump their helpless constituents are simply collateral damage. They’re nuts, and the public has noticed. Republicans have gained 3 million more registered voters, while Democrats have lost 2 million. If Democrats don’t snap out of it and begin to do their jobs they’re liable to disappear as a political Party. Anyone remember the Whigs? The “resist everything” psychosis is sowing the seeds of their own destruction. Me thinks they resist too much, and all of them ought to be committed.
FRANK ON FRIDAY – The New Confederacy
When they win, Democrats are fond of telling us that “elections have consequences.” I’m sure you’ve heard that phrase before. But clearly, they don’t believe that there are consequences when they lose an election. The aftermath of the 2024 election is a perfect example.
Last November, Trump won all 7 swing States. In those States, 77% of the voters said the Democrats immigration policy was wrong. Among voters in all States, 65% disapproved of the Biden border policy. Kamala was Biden’s border czar. She never bothered to visit the border, and she told the heifers of The View she couldn’t think of any Biden policy she would change. Is it any wonder she lost?
Clearly, Trump ran on a platform of securing the border and enforcing our immigration laws. The voters elected him to do just that. Moreover, even absent any promise regarding immigration, President Trump, like any Chief Executive, has a duty to see that the laws of the United States, including U.S. Code Title 8, which governs immigration, are “faithfully executed.” (U.S. Constitution, Article II, section 3).
Trump went right to work. He secured the border, and began deporting the untold millions of illegal aliens admitted by Biden, which included hundreds of thousands of violent criminals. Since January, 2 million illegals have gotten the message and have voluntarily left the U.S. In addition, we are on track to deport some 600,000 illegals this year.
However, a problem has arisen. It seems that there are some parts of our nation, including entire States, which have rejected the Constitution, and which are rebelling against the federal government’s attempts to faithfully execute the laws of the land. What we have here is, in effect, the New Confederacy.
As this is written, ICE, and other federal law enforcement agencies, are engaged in what amounts to open warfare in the streets of Chicago, Illinois and Portland, Oregon. Violent protests, including the obligatory Antifa bastards hurling bricks, shooting fireworks, using smoke bombs, shooting at ICE officers and properties, and committing arson, are ongoing in Chicago and Portland.
The ICE agents are under siege, and the local authorities, not only won’t come to their assistance, but are supporting the violent protestors, and are blaming, you guessed it, President Trump, for daring to enforce laws that were enacted by Democrat controlled Congresses.
It’s gotten so bad that the President has had to send National Guard troops to Portland and Chicago to protect federal property and personnel. Against the backdrop of the sniper shooting at the ICE office in Dallas, 100 consecutive days of mayhem in Portland, and the open rebellion by Illinois elected officials, no prudent Chief Executive could have done less.
I say open rebellion because that’s the path Illinois officials have chosen to take. Last week, ICE vehicles were rammed by a 10 car convoy of “protestors,” who boxed-in and menaced the ICE agents. When ICE called Chicago police for assistance, the Chief of Dispatch explicitly ordered that no police be sent to the scene.
The driver of the convoy car that rammed the officers was a woman who had been cited by ICE for doxxing officers, and who had written, “Hey, to all my gang let’s f— those mother f—— up, don’t let them take anyone.” Nice. She was armed with a handgun, and wound up being shot by ICE officers.
The order preventing police from coming to the assistance of brother law enforcement officers is an unprecedented insult to every man and woman wearing a badge. We’ve come a long way from 9/11, when Chicago police officers took one look at the towers coming down, got into their car, and drove to New York to help, without any orders to do so.
Then it got worse. This week we’ve heard continuous bashing of the ICE operation in Chicago from bloated gasbag Governor Pritzker, who’s claiming that ICE and the National Guard are illegally in Chicago. Useless Idiot, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has signed an Executive Order declaring ICE Free Zones in the city. He called ICE officers “a rogue, reckless group of heavily armed, masked individuals” and declared certain parts of the city off-limits to federal law enforcement officers. On Monday, Johnson doubled down on stupid, claiming that the Trump Administration wants “a rematch of the Civil War.” Seriously? Remember who won that one, Brandon?
Portland has experienced nightly violence for months. Independent journalists trying to report on the chaos, because the lap dog media won’t, have been assaulted. Journalist Katie Daviscourt identified the person who punched her in the eye. Police refused to act. Journalist Nick Sortor was assaulted by a crowd of Antifa thugs. Portland police arrested Sortor. Meanwhile, Portland officials deny that anything but “peaceful protests” are going on, and denounce federal immigration enforcement.
The situation has gone beyond the ridiculous. After having their offices shot at, ICE officials boarded up the windows of their leased headquarters. Portland officials took immediate action. They issued ICE a zoning violation. In addition to being an unconstitutional insult, the zoning violation also is pure bullshit. Whether owned or leased by the federal government, the building is federal property, and thus not subject to local zoning regulations.
The actions of the officials in Chicago and Portland is nothing less than an open defiance of our Constitution, which clearly states that the Constitution and federal laws are the supreme laws of the land, overriding any State or local laws to the contrary. (U.S. Constitution, Article VI).
By their actions, the officials in Illinois and Oregon have declared themselves to be in outright rebellion. That’s what I mean by the New Confederacy. The notion that States may violate or ignore federal laws that they consider to be unjust is what’s called nullification. Nullification was the stock and trade of the Confederate States before and during the Civil War. They were all Democrats. Nullification is the basis used by Democrats in Southern States who sought to stop the federal government from enforcing civil rights legislation by invoking “States rights.”
The nullification of the confederate States led to a civil war that killed more than 600,000 people. Attempts at nullification by the likes of George Wallace and Arkansas Governor Faubus are what motivated President Eisenhower to send in the National Guard, and President Kennedy to send the 82nd Airborne in to enforce federal law.
The notion of nullification does not exist in the law. The federal government, and only the federal government, is responsible for enforcing immigration laws. Even Il Duce Obama understood this, because he sued the State of Arizona, and the Supreme Court ruled that States cannot assume such enforcement efforts.
The federal government has the right and the duty to go into any State to enforce the law, and to send in troops to protect its assets. Any State or local official who tries to frustrate these efforts is breaking the law, and engaging in – dare I say it? An insurrection.
A liberal magazine has even encouraged the insurrectionists to carry out what they call “a soft secession.” The Trump Administration is fighting back. It is investigating the illegal acts occurring in Illinois and Oregon. The Antifa thugs are being supplied with their deadly equipment by some person, persons, organizations or State actors who are seeking to undermine our nation. This is nothing less than armed rebellion. The President must put it down by any means necessary.
FRANK ON FRIDAY – What Comeys Around
I’ve heard it said that “what goes around comes around.” Former FBI Director James Comey had lots of dirty things going around before the bar of justice came around and he was indicted for obstruction of justice and lying to Congress. Those charges represent just the tip of the filthy iceberg when it comes to Comey’s misconduct. The charges were brought now because of an impending statute of limitations deadline. More charges for Comey and others will likely be Comeying in the future.
James Comey was at the center of nothing less than a coup de etat, designed first to keep Donald Trump from being elected in 2016, and then to drive him from office once he was elected. Many others participated in this conspiracy, but Comey was the key figure.
Comey was the key because of his position. Director of the FBI. From that post, he had the ability to use the FBI and the Justice Department to affect the 2016 election and its aftermath. He did just that.
On July 28, 2016, then-CIA Director John Brennan briefed Obama on a plan from Clinton foreign policy advisor Jake Sullivan (later Biden’s National Security Advisor), “to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security service.” James Comey, Joe Biden, Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper attended the briefing.
Smear jobs by political rivals are commonplace. It’s no surprise that the Hillary campaign would stoop so low, as she had her own problems, stemming from her use of an unsecured server, which led to the hacking of thousands of emails containing classified material. Comey was supposed to be investigating that. What he, Il Duce Obama, Brennan, Clapper, and AG Loretta Lynch were not supposed to do was to take what they knew to be false information and use it to investigate, and then smear Donald Trump during and after an election. But that’s precisely what they did do.
Comey left a trail of emails. Here’s the one that proves he knew what he had been given was false. “Per FBI verbal request, CIA provides the below examples of information the CROSSFIRE HURRICANE fusion cell has gleaned to date.” “An exchange (REDACTED) discussing US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s approval of a plan concerning US presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russian hackers hampering US elections as a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server.” Translation – “This is a political hit job, made up by Hillary.” The reference to “fusion cell” likely refers to the Strategic Intelligence Group, Fusion GPS, which Hillary hired to produce the false Steele Dossier which contained supposed embarrassing information about Trump. The Fusion GPS director has since testified that his organization had a mole in the Trump campaign who provided information. Steele himself has testified that the claims in the dossier were “unconfirmed.” Translation – He just made that shit up.
Comey used the false “Russia is interfering in the election” smear, and the completely false Steele Dossier in Operation Crossfire Hurricane, an investigation, not to investigate Hillary’s misconduct, but instead to spy on the Trump campaign, and later on President Trump. Comey signed three of four FISA Court warrant applications that authorized wiretapping of the Trump campaign and Administration. The warrants were based on the Steele Dossier. Comey vouched for former FBI informant Christopher Steele as a trusted source, although he had fired Steele for lying to the FBI. That conduct was itself a crime.
Before the 2016 election, Comey went on TV to tell the world that, although Hillary Clinton did improperly possess classified documents, “no prosecutor would bring that case,” thus disposing of her potential legal problems before election day. Meanwhile, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Il Duce, and even Joe Biden, continued to stir the pot on Russian interference.
When Trump was elected, Comey went to him, not as a subordinate, but as an investigator dealing with a criminal target. Comey wrote a report of his discussion with the President, which he shared with close friend, and Columbia law professor, Daniel Richman. More about him later. The Russia hoax investigation led to a special prosecutor, crippled Trump’s first term, and two impeachments followed.
Comey got away with lying to federal judges. The indictment charges him with lying to Congress in testimony he gave in 2020. At that hearing, Comey was questioned about whether he authorized others to leak information about the Russia investigation. Comey denied it. Problem is that the aforementioned Daniel Richman has testified to investigators that he did just that. He regularly took information Comey shared with him, which included classified information, and passed some of it to the New York Times.
Former FBI General Counsel James Baker told investigators that he was instructed to leak information to the Times, and he understood that the orders had come from Comey. And we know for a fact that the media took the leaked information and ran with it.
I’ll never forget watching NBC news on election night 2016 (just to enjoy their pain). Overcome with shock, at 1:26 a.m., Lester Holt and other commentators reminded America that there was Russian interference in the election which may have affected its result. Where did that notion come from? James Comey, with a big assist from Congressman (now Senator) Adam Schiff for brains, who also was leaking his ass off.
What Comey and company did was far more than a political dirty tricks campaign. That happens all the time. What Comey and the others did was to weaponize the DOJ, the FBI, and the rest of the intelligence agencies to undo the will of the people who had chosen Donald Trump as their President. Simply put, Comey and the others were the very “existential threat to democracy” that lying Democrats are always harping about.
All that being said, do I think the current charges will result in a conviction which will see Comey behind bars? Probably not. The case will be heard by an Obama appointed judge in Virginia. But I don’t care how it ends, so long as it ends with Comey destitute from having to pay his lawyers. Hopefully the rest of the conspirators will face charges as well. Each and every one of them should be forced to endure the same pain and financial ruin, that the Biden Justice Department visited on President Trump and his close supporters.
It’s about time that what has gone around is coming around. Some may call it retribution. I don’t care. There’s no need to seek retribution unless you’ve been wronged first. Let’s hope the next thing that comes around is justice for Comey, Clapper, Brennan, and company.
FRANK ON FRIDAY – Welcome Back Jimmy Kimmel
I think there’s just been too much going on in the news in recent weeks. The Russia-Ukraine war rages on. Israel is attacking Gaza. The U.S. is blowing Venezuelan drug boats out of the water. ICE agents are under attack. And then, the murder of Charlie Kirk and its aftermath. We really needed a break. Perhaps that’s why the news this week has been consumed by debate over the plight of formerly nameless, faceless, and humorless late night TV host, Jimmy Kimmel.
Don’t let the title of this piece fool you. I’m not a Kimmel fan. In point of fact, I haven’t seen anything he’s done since the days when he appeared on the NFL pregame show on Fox. At that time he actually was funny. Prior to that, from 1999 to 2004, Kimmel had a show called the Man Show, which featured such sophisticated comedy as a segment called, “Girls on Trampolines,” in which scantily clad women bounced in the air. Very educational.
In many respects Kimmel has led a charmed life for a TV performer. The Girls on Trampolines bit predated what became known as the Me Too movement, so Kimmel escaped the sanctions for sexist misconduct that snared the likes of Al Franken. Kimmel even repeatedly appeared on TV in blackface, and survived. Being a left-wing shill means never having to say you’re sorry.
Amazingly, Kimmel began his late night Jimmy Kimmel Live show in 2003. I say “amazingly” because I hardly noticed. During those more than 22 years I watched his show a total of Zero times. From what I’ve heard, the Kimmel show followed a familiar pattern of current late night shows. He was hired as a comedian, he started out doing funny material, and then decided that, rather than emulating Johnny Carson or Jay Leno, he fancied himself a political commentator.
This is a common occurrence nowadays. There’s a long list of these pretenders. Joy Behar was an alleged comedian. Whoopie Goldberg also did comedy. Then they decided that they were, not only political experts, but the human embodiment of truth, justice and democracy. As a result, their show The View (or is it the Herd?), contains no joy and no whoopie. Instead of entertainment, it’s a daily forum for bitching, carping harridans, howling at the moon.
Steven Colbert and John Stewart also were alleged comedians. Then they went on TV and went fully political. Stewart’s show ended, and now Colbert has been fired.
Then, in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Kimmel went on the air, after it had become obvious that his killer was motivated by hatred of Kirk’s political and religious beliefs, and said this, “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”
Coming as it did in the brand new, if not to say refreshing, atmosphere in which people saying such blatantly false and infuriating things were being roundly denounced, cancelled, and even fired, Kimmel’s words led directly to his “indefinite suspension” from his ABC show and he was taken off the air.
This action by Disney, which owns ABC, was not surprising. Since January, Kimmel had lost about half his already limited audience. Reduced viewership equates to reduced ad revenue. So what Disney had was a low rated show, that obviously was losing money. Couple this with unfortunate timing in which Disney is negotiating for a new deal with the NFL, which would be loath to embark on an enterprise with a network that employs an insulting bonehead.
Add to the above the actions of two groups of network affiliates who refused to air Kimmel’s show. One of the affiliate companies is negotiating a profitable merger, which Kimmel’s idiocy put in jeopardy. Then add to all this Kimmel’s outright refusal to issue an apology, and is it any wonder all Disney did was to suspend the stupid bastard? People have been fired for much less.
This scenario would have remained a strictly corporate decision, had not the Trump FCC Commissioner stirred the pot, suggesting that ABC’s broadcast license might be at stake. As it often does, the movie Network comes again to mind. “You have meddled with the primal forces of nature [corporate profits] Mr. Kimmel, and you will atone!
The ham-handed intrusion of the FCC permitted the Kimmel incident to quickly be spun as a First Amendment issue. It never was. No thinking American could believe that President Trump could dictate to the networks what they should or should not put on the air. If he could, he wouldn’t have to put up with broadcast network defamation 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
No matter. The story became the lie that the government had taken Kimmel off the air. This was, of course a bullshit story, but because the broadcast networks are the official U.S. distributors of bullshit stories, it was enough to muddy the waters to permit Kimmel to play the victim.
So on Tuesday, ABC put Kimmel back on the air, less the stations of the two still highly pissed affiliate companies which account for about a third of his stations. Kimmel did what all left-wing demagogues do, he played the martyr, making the incident all about himself.
“[I]t was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man. I don’t think there’s anything funny about it. I posted a message on Instagram on the day he was killed, sending love to his family and asking for compassion, and I meant it. And I still do. Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group for the actions of what — it was obviously a deeply disturbed individual. That was really the opposite of the point I was trying to make, but, I understand that, to some, that felt ill-timed or unclear or maybe both, and for those who think I did point a finger, I get why you’re upset. If the situation was reversed, there’s a good chance I’d have felt the same way. I have many friends and family members on the other side who I love and remain close to, even though we don’t agree on politics at all. I don’t think the murderer who shot Charlie Kirk represents anyone. This was a sick person who believed violence was a solution, and it isn’t, ever.”
He was just misunderstood. Sure. Lying about why a an innocent man who was just murdered may have been “ill-timed.” You think? And check out his language. “Some of my best friends are conservatives.” People to whom he refers as “the other side.” No Jimmy. There should be only one side. The side on which those entrusted with broadcast time on a major network understand that it’s not a good idea to pour gasoline on smoldering embers.
Kimmel didn’t get that last week, and he still doesn’t get it now. So why, “Welcome Back Jimmy Kimmel?” It’s very simple. Although he doesn’t understand this, Jimmy Kimmel serves an important purpose for the good of America. As a spokesman for the “leftists are always right” crowd of deviants who running the Democrat Party, his words lend support for them to continue to push their suicidal political policies. Without Kimmel’s help, Democrats might realize that what they’re pushing is highly unpopular with the American electorate, they might change course, and make themselves stronger.
Better that Kimmel stay on the air and keeping feeding them the perverted pablum that supports their mistaken notion that they are in the mainstream, and the rest of us are out of step. When your opponents are digging themselves a hole, keep passing out the shovels. So welcome back Jimmy. Keep up the good work.
FRANK ON FRIDAY – No Kings, Just Jokers
Last Saturday we were treated to yet another No Kings protest day. All over the country, worn out senior citizen malcontents marched, chanted, danced, and otherwise beclowned themselves in a sorry attempt to resist Donald Trump, which is to say, to resist the enforcement of the law in accordance with the Constitution.
This is not a difficult concept. President Trump was elected to enforce the laws that Congress, in most cases, Democrat-controlled Congresses, enacted. The Constitution provides that the President has a duty to “take care that the laws are faithfully executed.” But Democrats say that, because President Trump is faithfully executing laws they don’t like, he is a threat to democracy, who is trying to transform the United States into a monarchy In short, say the protestors, Trump is acting like a King.
The antics of the protestors gave the impression that the circus was in town everywhere the protests were staged. This is what it looked like.
Of course, the fact that we have no Kings was never in doubt. Indeed, the protestors themselves already comprehended this fact. Here’s one of their signs.
Sane people, those who are in touch with reality, understand that we have no Kings, and haven’t had since 1783. Trump is a King? Let’s consider that. If Trump was a King, he wouldn’t be troubled by meddlesome judges who constantly usurp his authority. If Trump was a King, the government wouldn’t be shut down simply because six Democrat Senators refuse to permit it. Most importantly, if Trump really was a King, there would have been no protests on Saturday, and anyone who did speak out of turn would have found his or her severed head on a pike atop the newly constructed East Wing Ballroom.
None if this should come as a surprise. One of the very first Democrats, Thomas Jefferson, wrote all about it in 1776. The Declaration of Independence is a laundry list of complaints against a King. The trouble is that, the things that the Founders were complaining about King George doing to them are the very things today’s Democrats are doing to us.
He is “obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners.” What do you call the violent resistance to ICE enforcement operations? “He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.” Democrats are delaying Trump judicial nominations. “He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone.” Democrat appointed judges are usurping Executive authority, by impeding the President’s every action. “He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.” Democrats favor crippling administrative regulations that hamper commerce and steal individual freedoms.
Were Democrats in touch with reality, they would have long ago realized that they had met the enemies of democracy, and it is them. When they denounce Trump as an “authoritarian,” they’re denouncing the republican form of government given to us by the Founders. When asked at the 1787 Constitutional Convention, “What type of government have you given us?, Benjamin Franklin responded, “A Republic, if you can keep it.”
The loony Leftists have served notice that they think our Republic has lasted long enough. They don’t object because what Trump is doing is “authoritarian.” Their objection is that Trump is in a position to exercise any kind of authority at all. Simply put, they’re deniers. They deny our form of government. They deny the will of the voters. They deny the Constitution. They deny the laws they themselves enacted. And most troubling of all, they deny reality.
If these bastards weren’t crazy, what they’re doing would be tantamount to treason, but the insane can’t be held criminally responsible. Decide for yourselves. While these morons march, chant, and dance, the government is closed. Our military, law enforcement and air traffic controllers aren’t being paid. Democrats don’t care. A high ranking Dem House member said this week that, while the shutdown will cause families pain, a shutdown was the only leverage Democrats had. That’s right. All you people who voted for Democrats thinking you were American citizens and constituents, forget it. All you are is leverage.
Meanwhile, elected imbeciles like Fat Ass Pritzker and Gavin Newsome are fomenting open rebellion. Fire-ravaged California remains in ruins. The State has approved only a handful of reconstruction permits, and people are fleeing the State in droves. Between 2022 and 2023, 700,000 Californians fled high taxes and oppressive regulation. It’s estimated 4 million have left since 2020. California could lose 5 House seats in 2030. Against this backdrop, Newsome wants to fight Trump.
Illinois is experiencing a similar exodus. Gun violence in Chicago remains unchecked. Yet, Pritzker and Chicago’s Mayor oppose the federal efforts to enforce the law in that city. Pritzker has challenged Trump to arrest him, and is promising to prosecute the federal officers for doing their jobs.
In Portland, Antifa A-holes are rioting and attacking federal law enforcement, while gangs of criminal aliens still remain at large. Portland had a big No Kings event on Saturday. Here’s how Oregon Public Broadcasting reported the day. “Tens of thousands of people participated in peaceful No Kings events across the state on Saturday. A smaller group of protesters at Portland’s ICE facility were met with heavy force from federal agents in the evening.”
Here’s what really happened. During daylight hours, ex-hippie senior citizens marched, and/or limped, in protest. Of course it was “peaceful,” most of them could barely move.
You get the point. While our troops struggle to support their families without paychecks, the Chinese, the Russians, and the rest of our enemies are still plotting against us. Yet Democrats, people who worship government, are determined to keep it closed. If they can’t run it, then they won’t let you have it. Instead, they’re spending their time opposing a nonexistent King. These people are truly sick.
