Trump’s Day
Apparently, the United States was contacted by the Houthis last night as they were watching their military assets go up in flames. According to President Trump, the Houthis said they don’t want to fight anymore. Trump said we will stop bombing them now that they have “capitulated.”
Trump continues to lead on all fronts. During today’s meeting with Canada’s new prime minister, Trump said he would be making a “very, very big” announcement before he goes to a Middle East summit next week. The president said the announcement wasn’t related to a trade deal.
And this afternoon, the Supreme Court overturned a lower court injunction blocking President Trump’s order declaring that gender dysphoria and transgenderism are incompatible with military service. Today’s ruling means the Pentagon can continue discharging transgender soldiers while the case works its way through the legal system.
This is a short-term victory, but it strongly suggests that the Supreme Court will uphold Trump’s policy once the case reaches the high court.
Fauci’s Fatal Folly
Anthony Fauci used your tax money for reckless research that led to millions of deaths. President Trump wants to make sure that never happens again. The president signed an executive order banning U.S. funding of gain-of-function (GOF) research in countries with insufficient oversight.
In 2014, Barack Obama imposed a three-year ban on GOF research. That research involves scientists manipulating a virus in a laboratory to make it more deadly just to see what it might do through natural mutations. But there is always a chance that this dangerous new virus might escape from the lab.
Obama’s ban is why Anthony Fauci outsourced his GOF research to a communist Chinese lab in Wuhan, which was known for its poor safety record. There’s no cure for stupid.
There have also been disturbing reports that Wuhan wasn’t the only location where such dangerous research was conducted. The U.S. government has acknowledged investing in laboratories in Ukraine. Concern about these labs has been dismissed as “misinformation” or “Russian propaganda.”
Well, five years ago, we were told that the idea COVID-19 leaked from the Wuhan lab was a nutty conspiracy theory. Now, it is the consensus view of intelligence agencies worldwide. (Here, here, and here.) Even the New York Times finally had to admit that “we were badly misled” about COVID-19.
God bless President Trump for taking this important action. But no one should be deluded into thinking that powerful forces won’t try to get around this order, just as Fauci got around Obama’s order.
Anyone at any of our three-letter agencies who ignores or works around Trump’s order should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. In the meantime, Anthony Fauci should be hauled into a courtroom dock, put under oath, and forced to start answering questions.
Lies Of The Left
Many pundits keep saying that Democrats are flailing because they have no strategy. Yes, they do. Their strategy is lie, lie, lie. They want the support for conservative populism to collapse. They do it through constant fearmongering.
Remember the tragic collision at Reagan National Airport in late January? Sean Duffy was sworn in as secretary of transportation just one day before the crash. Democrats and their leftist comrades blamed the accident on “Trump’s cuts at the FAA.” It was a lie. No air traffic controllers had been fired.
Now, Newark Liberty International Airport is in the news. The airport has three runways. One is being reconstructed. So, you’ve got a problem right there.
You have the additional problem of staffing. Not enough people want to be air traffic controllers. Secretary Duffy has streamlined the hiring process and launched a major recruiting effort.
On April 28th, the air traffic control and communication system at Newark went down for 30 seconds. There is no evidence anyone was in danger during that time. But it was a very tense moment.
So tense that reportedly 20% of Newark’s air traffic controllers are taking 45 days off because they were “traumatized” by the event, making the crisis at the Newark airport even worse.
Joe Biden and his Democrat enablers passed a massive infrastructure bill in 2021. Apparently, there wasn’t any money in the bill to update our antiquated air traffic control system.
It’s so old that Congress authorized a modernization effort . . . in 2003. That was 22 years ago! It’s so old that FAA computers still use floppy disks!
There was plenty of money in the Democrats’ infrastructure bill for green energy boondoggles like electric vehicle chargers. And the FAA’s DEI programs were flush with cash.
To be more “inclusive,” Biden’s FAA was aggressively hiring people with “targeted disabilities,” including “hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability, and dwarfism.”
Call me skeptical, but I don’t think the solution to the FAA’s problems is deaf, blind, one-armed, air traffic controllers.
And what is the Democrats’ contribution to solving this crisis? More lies. They’re blaming it all on Donald Trump and Elon Musk. House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries yesterday accused President Trump of “decimating” and “breaking” the FAA.
These lies will scare people into not flying and, thus, hurt another American industry. Leftist politicians are not particularly interested in helping America. They’re interested in getting and keeping power.
They have no issues that resonate with the American people. That’s why they were importing a new electorate. We know the Left has an authoritarian impulse. And what do authoritarians do? They lie.
FBI Lies
Eight years ago, an unhinged left-wing socialist opened fire on the baseball field where Republican members of Congress were practicing for the annual congressional baseball game. Six people were wounded, and Rep. Steve Scalise was nearly killed.
Initially, the FBI said the attack was just a spontaneous event with no known motive. That was a lie. A few years later, the FBI determined it was a case of “suicide by cop.” More lies.
Thankfully, we have new leadership in the White House and the FBI. Director Kash Patel provided the House Intelligence Committee with thousands of case file documents that the Biden administration refused to hand over. Now we know why.
The Intelligence Committee just released a blistering report slamming the FBI’s conduct of the investigation. The report condemns the FBI’s use of “false statements, manipulation of known facts, and biased and butchered analysis to support” the suicide by cop narrative.
Rep. Jim Jordan, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, wasn’t surprised by the outrageous conclusion.
“This is the same FBI that can’t tell us who planted the pipe bomb [on Jan. 6, 2021], who can’t tell us who leaked the Dobbs [Supreme Court] opinion, and who can’t tell us who [hid] cocaine at the White House,” Jordan said. “We shouldn’t be surprised that they reached the wrong conclusion. They knew what the facts were.”
But corrupt Deep State operatives suppressed those facts because leftist violence didn’t fit the Left’s narrative that “dangerous right-wing extremism” was the greatest threat to the country.
More Leftist Violence
Last night, Riley Gaines spoke at Portland State University. At least five people were arrested when radical “Transtifa” and Antifa rioters attempted to storm the building where Gaines was speaking. Socialist students and pro-Hamas groups were also involved in the attack.
Of course, there’s no logic in transgender activists joining forces with pro-Hamas sympathizers. The only logic is that the Left intends to make it clear they “own” the streets.
Meanwhile, just up the Left Coast in Seattle, pro-Hamas radicals took over the streets and occupied an engineering building on the campus of the University of Washington. The Hamas Youth demanded that the university divest not just from Israel but also from Boeing, a major employer in Washington State and a company key to America’s national defense.
This is yet another reminder that the anti-Israel movement on our university campuses is also anti-American. Many people on our side still don’t understand that America and Israel are the two pillars of Western Civilization. But the Left isn’t confused.
Some protesters were caught on video yelling, “Every cop dead is our goal!” Here we are in early May. Don’t be surprised if we’re heading into another “Summer of Love,” reminiscent of the summer of 2020.
Globalists On The Move Crushing Democracy
Globalists are waging war against conservative populism worldwide. The Alternative for Germany Party (AfD) has been declared a potential security threat by the German equivalent of the FBI.
The AfD finished second in the recent German elections and has only gotten more popular since then. Now the government is trying to crush it.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio blasted the move, saying:
“What is truly extremist is not the popular AfD . . . but rather the establishment’s deadly open border immigration policies that the AfD opposes. Germany just gave its spy agency new powers to surveil the opposition. That’s not democracy -- it’s tyranny in disguise.”
Does that sound familiar? That’s what the Deep State did to Donald Trump – they spied on his campaign.
Marine Le Pen, the leader of the populist conservative movement in France, was brought up on ludicrous charges and banned from running for office. Sound familiar? That’s what they tried to do to Donald Trump.
In England’s national election last year, the Reform conservative populist party finished third but was awarded only five seats in Parliament. A more logical system would have given Reform 94 seats.
When a populist conservative won last year’s election in Romania, European Union bureaucrats invalidated the results, claiming “Russian collusion,” and banned the populist candidate from running again.
So, Romania just held a new election, and a populist conservative running on the same platform finished first again. Now, EU bureaucrats are scrambling to figure out how they can sabotage the upcoming second round of elections.
In each case, they cite “saving democracy” as their goal, but, in fact, they are attacking democracy to advance their secular globalist agenda.
